But I'm sure that intellectual maturity doesn't have much to do with age... Maybe there have been some changes in my life that make me feel the difference.
Yes, the environment has changed, friends and acquaintances have changed, I have lost some of my friends and made new friends... Life does not stop and goes on...
Every part of life is important and has a particular value to me, because I see that every individual is inherently distinct, because Almighty God created him or her different from other people, so every individual is exceptional and can only exist once, and this experience is unique...

In the meantime she was looking for a way to get rid of it and always asked: Which event, like a tornado, shook the pillars of her monotonous life?...

Due to predicted difficulties in arranging the new format, an extra year was requested for its completion by the local committees, and the Midland (Tayside) leagues began in 1969, a year after the rest of Scotland (the North was the only one of the six new regions which required more than minor adjustment to its structure).
With titles having been shared between clubs from Perthshire and Dundee (the sole Angus champions in 1974 being Kirrie Thistle), the league's balance altered dramatically in 1990 when Tayport joined the setup; their base was actually in the far north of Fife but they were permitted to join the Tayside league as they were closer to many of its teams via the Tay Road Bridge.
Despite the challenge of facing the strongest clubs from these other two areas, Tayport continued to be among the leading teams for the first six years; Dundee side Lochee United also finished as East Region champions twice in that period.
Tayside's setup was retained as a feeder division to the Superleague along with the other historic districts until 2006, when they were fully integrated into the East Region; Tayside's section (minus the Perthshire teams which were placed with the Fife sides) became the North Division below the Super League and a new Premier Division.
In 2018, a large group of East Junior clubs joined the East of Scotland Football League, aspiring to gain entry to the senior Scottish Professional Football League in future years; however, on Tayside the only ones to do so were the Perth teams Jeanfield Swifts and Kinnoull.
This led to a North-South reorganisation of the remaining members of the region, with the 2019–20 Superleague North entirely compsed of former Tayside clubs.

Typhoon Phanfone, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Ursula, was a relatively strong and deadly tropical cyclone which traversed through the Philippines on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for the first time since Nock-ten in 2016.
The twenty-ninth and final named storm of the 2019 Pacific typhoon season, the origins of Phanfone can be traced to an upper-level low which had formed near the Caroline Islands and gradually organized into a tropical depression on December 19.
Moving generally west-northwestard, the system intensified into a tropical storm on December 22 and moved into the Philippine Area of Responsibility on the following day as it continued gaining strength.
Further intensification ensued until Christmas Day despite Phanfone making several landfalls over the central Philippine islands, peaking at 150 km/h (90 mph) 10-minute sustained winds with a central pressure dropping to 970 hPa.
Phanfone maintained its typhoon strength for several hours as it exited the Philippine landmass before unfavorable conditions caused it to rapidly deteriorate and dissipate over the South China Sea.
Phanfone crossed the central Philippines after the stronger Kammuri struck nearly the same region merely weeks prior, with a track fairly similar to 2013’s Haiyan.
The total fatalities of the said typhoon is 50 deaths (with 55 people missing, and over 300 injured) and the damages is at or roughly .
Prior to its formation on December 19, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began monitoring a low pressure system to the southeast of Micronesia.
Showing signs of convection and sufficient banding around a defined center, the JTWC subsequently upgraded its initial warning to a medium chance of development.
Shortly thereafter on December 20, JTWC issued a tropical cyclone formation alert, while the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) issued its first advisory on the system.
By afternoon of December 24, Phanfone gained typhoon strength shortly before making its first three landfalls over Salcedo, Eastern Samar (4:45 pm PST), Tacloban City (7:30 pm PST), and Cabucgayan, Biliran (9:15 pm PST).
Further intensification ensued until December 25, with Phanfone peaking at 00:00 UTC with 150 km/h (90 mph) 10-minute sustained winds and a central pressure dropping to 970 hPa; the JTWC reported that Phanfone peaked at 175 km/h 1-minute sustained winds, equivalent to a Category 2 typhoon.
Phanfone continued its west-northwestward track and, by afternoon of the same day, PAGASA had reported four additional landfalls: Gigantes Islands (2:30 am PST), Ibajay, Aklan (8:40 am PST), Semirara Island (1:00 pm PST), and Bulalacao, Oriental Mindoro (3:00 pm PST).
After holding strength for several hours, the system began losing strength due to unfavorable sea surface temperatures, medium wind shear and dry air intrusion.
On December 28, PAGASA issued its final warning as the system exited the PAR; later, JMA issued their final advisories as Phanfone weakened below warning threshold.
The PAGASA issued a signal 3 warning to Northern Samar, Samar, Eastern Samar, Leyte, Biliran and the Camotes Islands, meaning that 65-92 knot (75-106 mph; 121–170 km/h) winds were expected.
The PAGASA also issued a signal 2 warning to the Visayas, meaning that 33-65 knot (38-75 mph; 61–120 km/h) winds were to be expected within 24 hours.
It was issued to the central portion of northern Cebu, northeastern Iloilo, northern Antique, Capiz, Aklan, Southern Leyte, and Negros Occidental, which meant that Phanfone was taking a similar path to the areas hit by the much stronger Typhoon Haiyan.
The Visayas was the worst hit, with Iloilo City having 13 casualties alone that had been either struck by fallen trees, electrocuted or drowned.
The extent of damage in the Philippines was quite far, with the Boracay Airport being heavily damaged as many people were stranded in the airport as the typhoon struck.
Severe flooding caused devastating damage in the many provinces and islands of Visayas as rain spread across the region, with many houses and vehicles being partially to completely submerged.
All of these obstacles blocked off roads and made roads dangerous to walk on; and the excessive amounts of rainfall made ground, especially higher ground, very unstable.
The province of Leyte was placed under a state of calamity following the damage of the typhoon, with livestock, crops and infrastructure being damaged in excess of $1 million USD.
Most of the casualties are estimated to have taken place at Iloilo, as the village was badly hit with severe and swift-moving flash floods.
Tacloban was hit as fires broke out and winds allowed them to spread but it the 220,000 inhabitants escaped the worst of the system.
Because of the upcoming Christmas celebrations, 16,000 passengers who had holiday plans in their respective provinces with their families, were stranded in port for their safety due to the threat of the typhoon.
Upon making landfall near Salcedo in Eastern Samar around 4:45 PM, it was reported that the typhoon was causing major flooding and mudslides in the region.
Five fishermen were reported missing and a 70-year-old man died after his house was swept away and as a result, he drowned.
The World Food Programme issued advisories and infographics plotting the projected path of Phanfone, as well as evacuation and relief centers.
As of December 27, 2019, there are at least 28 confirmed fatalities according to the Philippines Disaster Agency, including a 13-year-old boy who was electrocuted.
A signal 2 warning was also issued to Luzon, with the southern portion of Quezon, Marinduque, Oriental Mindoro, Occidental Mindoro including Lubang Island, Romblon, Albay, Sorsogon, Burias Island, Calamian and Cuyo Islands all forecast to be in the path of Phanfone.
A signal 1 warning was issued to Bulacan, Bataan, Metro Manila, Rizal, rest of Quezon, Laguna, Batangas, Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, Catanduanes and northern Palawan.
The island's governor ordered local government units to conduct a forced evacuation plan, prompting civilians near flood-prone areas and areas with the potential to be affected by landslides, to relocate temporarily as a safety precaution.
Local representatives visited residents in Libon, Maninila and Tandarora to advise them to evacuate and temporarily celebrate Christmas in evacuation centers for their safety.
Many public schools were open in order to serve as shelters for residents while the provincial government distributed food packs to the evacuees.
In Naval, the local government unit deployed evacuation tents for evacuees on Monday, December 23 with some tents reserved for senior citizens, pregnant women and people with disabilities.
Personnel of the Romblon Provincial Mobile Force Company were deployed and conducted an inventory of Search and Rescue (SAR) equipment on December 23 in preparation for the typhoon.
Upwards of 58,000 people were evacuated from Luzon and its surrounding islands as the system brought torrential rain and severe flash flooding ensued as a result of the rains.

Amritsar 1919: An Empire of Fear and the Making of a Massacre (2019), is a book by Kim A. Wagner and published by Yale University Press, that aims to dispel myths surrounding the Jallianwala Bagh massacre that took place in Amritsar, India, on 13 April 1919.
In the absence of any photographs of the event and with significant differences between British and Indian accounts of how many were killed and how and why it happened, Wagner examines primary sources to trace the events leading up to the massacre and then discusses its aftermath.
According to Wagner, the background to the massacre starts with the Indian rebellion of 1857 and the subsequent British fear of a recurrence.
Fearing another 1857, events in Amritsar unfolded into Indian political agitation, the arrest of two key Indian political leaders, and British panic.
Contrary to a number of widely held beliefs, Wagners research reveals an alternative number of how many were killed in the massacre, how many were found in the well and an account of why General Dyer acted as he did.
The author is Kim A. Wagner, who lectures on colonial India and the British Empire at Queen Mary, University of London.
The book has 360 pages, 26 black and white illustrations, four maps and 12 chapters preceded by an introduction and a section on acknowledgements.
In 1919, the continuing fear of a revolution led to the proposal of the suppressive Rowlatt Act which would give the British powers to quash any political agitation, and contradicted the simultaneous British promises with the Indian National Congress to give greater involvement to Indians in government.
Mahatma Gandhi responded by proposing that all Indians oppose the Act and make a Satyagraha pledge, a promise to resist without using violence.
On 10 April 1919, upon hearing of the arrests, a crowd of Indians issued a petition for the release of their leaders.
The crowd at Jallianwalla Bagh was composed of mainly men and many from out of town, making up to 20,000 people, who had mostly come to celebrate a religious festival.
Speeches focussed on the Rowlatt Act, the call to release the two arrested local Indian leaders, and effects on Indians of the First World War.
Instead, the British authorities imposed curfews, a crawling order and martial law and those suspected of being involved in the 10 April riots were arrested and tortured.
Using primary sources to gather evidence, Wagner has clarified that the book aims to dispel a number of myths surrounding the events of the massacre in Amritsar on 13 April 1919.

Despite thin evidence for removal of that extraordinary number of qualified voters, Wisconsin may be forced to comply with Malloy's order.
On January 2, 2010, WILL said it asked the circuit court to hold the Elections Commission in contempt, fining it up to $12,000 daily, until it advances Malloy’s December 17, 2019 order to purge from the voting rolls hundreds of thousands of registered voters who possibly have moved to a different address.

The purge was felt to be targeting voters living in the cities of Madison, and Milwaukee, and college towns, which all exhibit Democratic voting strength.
Two of the three plaintiffs in the case heard by Malloy were significant contributors to state Republican party candidates' campaigns, including former state representative and senator, David W. Opitz.

At the NATO summit in London in December 2019, President Emmanuel Macron of France highlighted major differences with Turkey over the definition of terrorism, and said there was little chance this aspect of the conflict could be resolved positively.
Turkey proposed a safe zone where Syrian refugees could be relocated, but this idea did not receive support from all parties.
Prior to the NATO Summit, there was a meeting at 10 Downing Street of the leaders of France, the UK, Germany and Turkey.
Erdogan claimed that a four-way summit on Syria was scheduled to occur in Turkey in February 2020, to include Turkey, Germany, the UK and France.
At a meeting in Damascus, Russian and Syrian officials clearly stated their support for Syria regaining control over all of its territory.
The parties reported that they reached some important understandings at this meeting, including affirming a commitment to work together to respect Syrian territorial integrity.
At the Astana Process meeting in December 2019, a UN official stated that in order for the third round of talks to proceed, co-chairs from the Assad regime and the opposition need to agree on an agenda.
It is unclear if the third round of talks will proceed on a firm schedule, until the Assad regime provides its assent to participate.
They have stipulated two pre-conditions for doing so; firstly, that Syria distance itself from Iran, and, secondly that Syria implement UN Security Council resolution 2254, which calls for the a process to reform the Syrian Constitution, and then to hold an election to end the Syrian conflict.

The Otaman 6x6 is a armoured fighting vehicle produced by the ukraine manufacturer NGO Practika and presented for the first time at the Indian Defexpo in 2016, followed by the Otaman 8x8 in the Arms and Security Exhibition held in Kiev in 2017.
This AFV can also be used as a APC ( armored personnel carrier ), IFV ( infantry fighting vehicles ) and also an ambulance.
It is a very agile APC such as the BTR-80 but with more firepower, thanks to the 122 mm howitzer that he has as the primary armament.
This deadly gun has an operational range of about 10–15 km max and can also heavily damage tanks while moving with precision, that's why it's also used as a Tank destroyer.
It is armed with a russian 122 mm self-propelled 2A18 howitzer as the primary weapon, as the secondary weapon instead has a 30mm ZTM-1 (2A72) cannon with 400 rounds or a 14,5 mm heavy machine gun.
The Apica River is a freshwater tributary of the Pikauba River, flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Ministuk, in the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
Visitors can admire the panorama from a rest area located a few kilometers north of the route 169 bridge over it.
This river turns out to be the outlet of a series of small aligned lakes, located to the south, Lake Micoine constituting its head.
The lake of the same name is located to the southwest of Mount-Apica; however, this lake is integrated into the watershed of the rivière aux Écorces.
The upper part of the Apica valley is accessible by the route 169 (route d'Iberville); other secondary forest roads have been developed in the sector for forestry and recreational tourism activities.
The surface of the Apica River is usually frozen from late November to early April, however safe circulation on the ice is generally from mid-December to late March.
The Apica River intersects the route 169 connecting Quebec (city) to Lac Saint-Jean, halfway between Jacques-Cartier Lake and the northwest limit of the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve.
From the confluence of the Apica river with the Pikauba River, the current descends successively the Pikauba river on to the northeast, then the current crosses the Kenogami Lake on north-east to Barrage de Portage-des-Roches, then follows the course of the Chicoutimi River on to the east, then the northeast, and the course of the Saguenay River on east to Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence estuary.

As more Catholics settled in the area, a traveling priest John A. Beshel, the Chaplain of the Nazareth Orphanage, occasionally celebrated mass in the living room of the home of the Bolus family, using a closet as a confessional.
In 1938 St. Peter's Chapel, a Railroad chapel car built by the Catholic Extension Society of Chicago in 1892, was given to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Raleigh to use as a house of worship for Catholics in Wake Forest.
The train car, which included a bedroom and kitchen for the priest, an altar, and sixty seats for congregants, was parked at the Seaboard Railroad by Bishop Eugene J. McGuinness, and was used until February of 1940.
In the 1930s Biship McGuinness' cousin, the papal countess Katherine E. Price, visited Wake Forest and was surprised that the college town did not have a Catholic Church.
The church was dedicated by Bishop McGuinness on February 25, 1940 and named after Catherine of Siena, the patron saint of Price.
He made Wake Forest the headquarters of the Missionary Fathers from a mobile trailer-chapel called Madonna of the Highways, located near St. Catherine's.
The trailer was dedicated on May 6, 1948 by the Apostolic Delegate Amleto Giovanni Cicognani at the annual convention of the North Carolina Catholic Laymen Association in Wilmington.
On August 14, 1966 a transport tractor trailer struck a power pole and trees along the front side of the church.
A large marble statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was knocked into the church, destroying part of the south wall, foundation, and interior of part of the church.
In May 1987 the pastoral administrative duties were granted to Sister Joanne DiGiovanni of the Sisters of Mercy until a new priest was hired in July of that year.
In 1988 the church purchased 18.625 acres of land near West Holding Avenue for $172,212.50 in order to build a larger facility.
In 2001 St. Catherine's purchased over 20 acres of land west of new property for $800,000, building a new school buildings.
In 2009 the church hired the architect Jim O’Brien and Clancy & Theys construction company to build a 33,000 square foot church in the Romanesque style, with seating for 1,700 people.

The 2020 Campeonato Nacional, known as Campeonato Nacional AFP PlanVital 2020 for sponsorship reasons, is the 90th season of top-flight football in Chile.
For this season, and given that the previous season was declared as concluded with no relegations to the Primera B, the Asociación Nacional de Fútbol Profesional (ANFP) approved an expansion of the first tier to 18 teams, with two teams promoted from the second tier joining the 16 teams that competed in the top flight in 2019.
Qualification for the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana will be awarded to the top seven teams at the end of the season, as well as the Copa Chile champions who will qualify for the Copa Libertadores.
Since there were no relegated teams in the previous season, in this season three teams will be relegated to the second tier: the last-placed team in the standings of the 2020 season, the last-placed team in a relegation table which will be elaborated considering the performance in both the 2019 and 2020 seasons, and the losers of a play-off between the teams placed second-to-last of both tables.
Eighteen teams will take part in the league in this season: the sixteen teams from the previous season, plus the 2019 Primera B champions Santiago Wanderers and Deportes La Serena, winners of the Primera B promotion play-offs.
For this season, a weighted table will be elaborated by computing an average of the points earned per game over this season and the previous one, with the average of points earned in the 2019 season weighted by 60% and the average of points earned in the 2020 season weighted by 40%.
The team placed last in this table at the end of the season will be relegated, while the team placed second-to-last will qualify for the relegation play-off.

Lac Mitchell is a freshwater body from the watershed of the Apica River, the Pikauba River and Saguenay River, in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The surface of Lake Mitchell is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March.
This lake is mainly fed by riparian streams, by the outlet (coming from the south-east) from Lake Micoine and by the outlet (coming from the south) from the lakes of Groseillers and La Fourmillière.
This lake has an appendix of stretching towards the south, forming a peninsula extending towards the north, which comprises a mountain whose summit reaches .

Andrew Muir is a Northern Irish politician who is an Alliance Party Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for North Down.
He was appointed as an MLA following incumbent Alliance MLA Stephen Farry's election as MP for North Down in the 2019 United Kingdom general election.
During the 1688 Glorious Revolution the Foot Guards under their commanding officer William Dorrington stayed loyal to James II, and fought on the Jacobite side in the Williamite War in Ireland.
After the 1697 Peace of Ryswick and the formal disestablishment of James’s army in exile, the Foot Guards were immediately reconstituted in French service as Dorrington’s Regiment, retaining their red coats and Saint George's Cross standard.
Renamed the Regiment Roth after a subsequent colonel, Michael Roth, and later still as the Regiment Walsh, the regiment did not formally disband until 1791.
The remainder of the 7,500-strong army formed in Ireland at this point was not formally regimented until the 1670s, and contained many Cromwellian veterans.
Leading Royalist James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormond was given the commission to raise the regiment and authority to appoint junior officers; the experienced Anglo-Irish soldier Sir William Flower was made lieutenant-colonel, while Ormonde’s son Richard Butler, 1st Earl of Arran was gazetted colonel, with captaincy of a company.
Under Arran, the Guards were employed largely on peacetime duties in Ireland: they were used to suppress a mutiny by other regiments in Carrickfergus in 1666, while in 1673 two companies were ordered to Chester and saw service on board ship during the Third Anglo-Dutch War.
For the first twenty years of its history the regiment was almost exclusively Protestant, with most of its officers drawn from the Irish Protestant gentry.
Dorrington continued reforming the regiment, though Clarendon criticised him for recruiting at the Catholic shrine St James's Well, feeling it would harm relations with the Catholic community.
Arran died in 1686 and his nephew James, Lord Ossory, later the 2nd Duke of Ormonde was briefly made colonel of the Guards: at the time of the Glorious Revolution, Ormonde switched his allegiance to William of Orange.
He was replaced as colonel by Dorrington and the majority of the regiment stayed loyal to James, although one of its two battalions, sent to England immediately prior to William's landing, was taken prisoner.
The Guards subsequently fought on the Jacobite side in the War in Ireland, including at the Siege of Derry, the Battle of the Boyne and at Aughrim, where their lieutenant-colonel William Mansfield Barker was killed.
The terms of the Peace of Ryswick included the disbandment of James’s former army, but the same day as the Guards regiment was broken up, 27 February 1698, it was immediately reconstituted as Dorrington's Regiment in the French Army.
Dorrington ended his active service in c.1710 and died in 1718; Michael Roth, who had begun service with the Foot Guards as a lieutenant in 1686, became colonel, followed by his son Charles Edward, Comte de Roth, in 1733.
Between 1766 and 1770 the regiment’s colonel was the 9th Earl of Roscommon; its last colonel was Antoine Walsh, also known as the Comte de Walsh-Serrant.
The latter, today based in Clermont-Ferrand, is considered the last French regiment to descend directly from the regiments of the Irish Brigade.
Its colours, a Saint George's Cross with a central crown surmounted with a crowned lion, reflected its original status as a Guards regiment of the King of England.
The twelve-track project features collaborations with the album's executive producer, Mach-Hommy as well as MF DOOM, Tha God Fahim and Matisyahu.
St Maurice's Church () is a Roman Catholic church building located on Place Arnold in the Neustadt district of Strasbourg, France.
The church was designed by architect Ludwig Becker from Mainz, whose preliminary draft was selected during an architectural competition in 1893.
On 21 February 2013, the church was vandalised by a man who damaged about fifteen statues and laid an Islamic prayer rug and a Qur'an which he had stolen in a mosque.
The tall and thin bell tower of St Maurice is 65 meters high and was placed in the several-kilometer-long perspective of Avenue des Vosges and Avenue de la Forêt-Noire which connect Place de Haguenau to Place Arnold.
The main altar shows the life of St. Maurice, while the upper crucifix is surrounded by representations of St. Mary and St. John.
Her father, the merchant Wilhelm Freiherr von Mirbach (1858-1914) was a brother of the Prussian lieutenant general and court official Ernst von Mirbach (1844-1925).
Through her mother Carmen Laura, née von Bary (1876-1938), Maimi von Mirbach was directly related to Cornelio Saavedra, the first president of the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata.
In 1914, the family had to leave Belgium within 24 hours of the beginning of the First World War, moving to Potsdam.
She abhorred the racial ideology of the Nazis and, as a cellist, continued to cultivate numerous contacts with Jewish musicians, even though this repeatedly put her in danger.
Hirschfeld, chairman of the Potsdam Labor Court for six years from 1927, was arrested after Kristallnacht and remained in Potsdam police prison for three weeks.
In August 1942, he was deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp and finally deported to Auschwitz, after which it is unknown what happened to him.
At the end of 1941 she accepted the former music student Gisela Distler-Brendel, a pupil of the composer and piano teacher Ilse Fromm-Michaels, as a lodger.
Maimi von Mirbach kept this relationship secret from the authorities, and was thus guilty of racial disgrace under the Nuremberg Laws.
After 1945, Maimi von Mirbach was subjected to many humiliations and restrictions in the Soviet occupation zone and in the early days of the GDR.
In 2005, the Potsdam Administrative Court dismissed an action brought by Maimi von Mirbach's heirs against the reassignment to Hirschfeld's daughter Aenne Dorothy Scott of the property in Klein Glienicke lawfully acquired by Fritz Hirschfeld and expropriated by the GDR.

She became interested in space as a child, when her father told her about the Apollo astronauts as they gazed at the moon while on Redcar beach.
One of her physics teachers was rumoured to be biased against girls, and despite Haswell achieving the highest grades possible in her A-level exams, refused to write her a reference to study physics at university.
She eventually studied mathematics at the University of Oxford, but wanted to apply mathematics to the real world and became tired of abstract proofs.
Haswell eventually spoke to Donald Blackwell who helped her transfer courses, and enrolled on a physics degree at University College, Oxford.
During her time as an undergraduate student, Haswell was President of the Oxford University Astronomical Society and rowed in the Summer Eights.
Since 1999, she has been at the Open University, at first still working working on black holes and accreting binary stars and switching to exoplanet research in 2003.
Early work on exoplanets was not well funded, and Haswell has spoken about using second hand Canon camera lenses to make suitable telescopes.
In 2018 Haswell was part of the team that was first to identify a planet around Barnard's Star, the closest single (non-binary) star to Earth, a red dwarf star that is six light years away from Earth.
In 2019 Haswell used the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) to discover six extraordinarily hot exoplanets (with surface temperatures between 1100 and 1800 °C).
At temperatures this high the atmosphere and surface levels of the planet can be lost, and the materials disperse into a thin sheet of gas.
The gas filters the light from nearby stars, which allowed Haswell and colleagues to study the chemical composition of the atmosphere of the gas sheet.
Haswell has proposed that these planets could be used to understand the geology of the rocky planets in Earth's solar system.
She is part of the team for CHaracterising ExOPlanets Satellite (CHEOPS), which will examine known exoplanets to improve our understanding of their sizes.
She regularly provides expert opinion to the national media and is involved with various outreach programmes through the International Astronomical Union.
Haswell was awarded the Open University Outreach and Public Engagement Award for her work targeted at people with low science capital in Teesside.
Countess Marie Immaculata Brandisová, also known as Lata Brandisová or Lata von Brandis, (26 June 1895 – 12 May 1981) was a Czech equestrian and the only woman to win the Great Pardubice Steeplechase.
Her victory over the Nazi officers at the 1937 race, seen as a symbol of Czech resistance against Nazi Germany, was celebrated with parades attended by thousands of people.
Brandisová was born on 26 June 1895 at Schäffer Castle in Úmonín, Austria-Hungary (now the Czech Republic) to Count Leopold von Brandis and Johanna von Schäffer.
Her paternal grandmother, Countess Barbara Kinská, was the sister of Count Oktavian Kinsky, who was one of the founders of the Great Pardubice Steeplechase.
In 1926 her cousin Count Zdenko Radslav Kinský, a nephew of Oktavian, invited her to Orlík Castle to breed Kinsky horses for hurdle racing.
Her enlistment in the race caused controversy, and she was faced with protests as the race was seen as too dangerous for a woman.
The Jockey Club decided that she would be allowed to race, following advice from the Royal Jockey Club in Great Britain.
The Great Pardubice of 1927 was the first time a woman raced, and the first time a French rider raced (Count Alexandre de la Forest).
Over 40,000 people attended the race, hoping to see a Czech jockey defeat the Germans, who had been consecutive champions in the Great Pardubice over the last few years.
During the war, she joined the Czech Resistance, providing food for resistance fighters and tending to wounded soldiers during the Liberation of Prague.
After the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1948, she and her sisters moved into cottage in the woods, where they lived in relative poverty throughout the Communist regime.
The 2020 National League 2, also known as the 2020 MPT Myanmar National League 2, is the 8th season of the MNL-2, the second division league for association football clubs since its founding in 2012.
John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch is a children's musical comedy special created by John Mulaney that debuted on Netflix on December 24, 2019.
The special consists of several songs, skits, and activities interspersed with scripted segments of Mulaney chatting with the Bunch as well as unscripted interviews with both the children and the adult guest stars about their greatest fears and acting background.
Jake, ostensibly in character as a younger version of Mulaney, sings a song about his grandmother's boyfriend Paul and his many quirks, while wondering why the rest of his family hasn't accepted Paul.
The Tutor performs an elaborate Dixieland-style jazz number about how not knowing math caused him to lose his eye - however, it turns out to be a shaggy dog story, with his eye being unexpectedly saved at the last minute, and he reveals afterwards that he had simply lost his eye by accident while performing the song.
Mulaney and Tyler play a chess game and continually try to throw one another off with existential questions and absurd facts.
Actor Richard Kind has an unscripted discussion with Ava, Cordelia, and Camille about movies, his career, and their experiences in plays.
While Mulaney asks about the Bunch's top New York moments, Alex recalls a time he was in New York and saw a woman (Annaleigh Ashford) crying on the street.
He wonders in song about what would happen if he had gone up to her and asked what was wrong, and imagines the friendship they may have shared if he had done so.
However Mr. Music, having failed to prepare for his segment, grows increasingly exasperated as the objects around the studio he tries to use as examples fail to make any sound.

Talbot Lake is a freshwater body crossed by the Petite rivière Pikauba, in the unorganized territory of Lac-Pikauba, in the Charlevoix Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province from Quebec, to Canada.
The surface of Talbot Lake is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March.
Its current outline is dependent on the erection of a dam at its discharge; its southern and western shores are formed of marshy soil.
This lake is mainly fed by the Petite rivière Pikauba which crosses this lake to the northeast, by riparian streams, by the outlet (coming from the southwest) from Lake Maskwa and by the outlet (coming from the north -est) of several lakes including Decoigne, Beloeil, Lanctôt, Lalonde and Dumais.

Originally written in 1883 as a song for solo voice and piano, it was subsequently arranged by Tchaikovsky for solo voice and orchestra (1884), and then for unaccompanied choir (1889).
While Pleshcheyev's Russian lyrics are a literal translation of Stoddard, and also copy the original rhyming scheme ABCB, Dearmer uses considerable poetic licence and a new rhyming scheme of AABB.
The song is in the key of E minor, but the lack of any accidentals in the melody gives it a modal character.
In the choral arrangement, the introduction is eliminated, and the piano coda is replaced by a choral coda featuring extremely low basses.
The choral arrangement was premiered by the Chorus of the Imperial Opera under the direction of Fyodor Becker in March 1889.
The song was often used to close Creedence Clearwater Revival concerts and was later covered by several other artists including Fogerty as a solo artist.
The song builds into a boogie as John Fogerty plays variations on the opening guitar riff and incorporates solos on his harmonica.
Although the album version lasted a little under 8 minutes, in concert the song could extend for more than 15 minutes.

Hay-a-Park Gravel Pit is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, or SSSI, adjacent to the east side of the town of Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, England.
Having been a disused and flooded quarry since the 1970s, it now consists of the large Hay-a-Park Lake and three smaller ponds, besides associated reedbeds, scrub, woodland and grassland.
It was designated as a SSSI in 1995 because it supports a number of wintering birds, including a large flock of goosander.
Edward's fifteen-year-old wife Philippa of Hainault was given this land on the occasion of her marriage; she was later the mother of the Black Prince (whose statue stands in Leeds City Square) and John of Gaunt.
Another story says that in the 11th or 12th century Henry I conferred the lands to Gamel de Scriven, and they remained in the family under various names including Edward II until the last heir, Sir Charles Slingsby, died falling from his horse into the river in 1869, leaving no issue.
By the end of that century it was owned by Lady Hewley, who used its rents to support the Church and charities.
In the 19th century the leasehold of Haya Park was purchased for the purpose of rectorial tithes by York Minster; it was still a royal park, where deer were protected.
The site is adjacent to the eastern edge of Knaresborough, accessible by public footpath from two unlabelled entrances on Park Lane, one located near the railway bridge, and the other next to Knaresborough Rugby Club.

The 2019 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Final was a beach soccer match which took place on 1 December 2019 at Los Pynandi World Cup Stadium in Luque, Paraguay, to determine the winners of the 2019 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.
It was the final and hence the last match of the 10th FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, a biennial competition contested by the men's national teams of the member associations of FIFA.
In what was seen as an evenly contested affair, Portugal emerged as victors thanks to a series of successful free kicks, clinching the match by six goals to four to win their second FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup crown (following 2015) and third world title overall (including success in the 2001 World Championship), condemning Italy to a second runners-up medal.
The match was also notable as the 583rd and final international beach soccer appearance of Madjer; the Portuguese captain, often hailed as the best player of all-time, announced his retirement immediately following the match.
Both nations are veterans at World Cups, with Portugal missing only one and Italy, two, since their debuts (1997 and 1995 respectively).
Since the FIFA era began, Portugal have fared relatively similarly, winning the 2015 title, finishing as runners-up in 2005 and earning bronze medals three times (2008, 2009, 2011).
Italy reached their first final during the FIFA era in 2008, when they lost to Brazil 5–3, and this remained their only podium finish of this era until now.
However, more recently, after neither team qualified for 2013, Italy had reached the semi-finals of the last two editions, one better than their Iberian opponents.
Portugal failed in qualification for the World Beach Games, but compensated for this disappointment by claiming the gold medal at the European Games and becoming six-time European champions at the Euro Beach Soccer League (EBSL).
Despite reaching this final, they narrowly qualified for the World Cup in July, finishing in the final qualification spot, but also won the silver medal at the Mediterranean Beach Games.
Italy went into the season as reigning European champions having won the 2018 EBSL and began the year by qualifying for the World Beach Games were they went on to lose to Iran in the bronze medal match.
They only managed a fifth place finish at the European Games, but claimed fourth in the EBSL and second place in qualification for the World Cup.
The teams had gone head-to-head three times previously at World Cups, twice during the World Championships era and once in the FIFA era.
The teams had already met on three previous occasions in 2019, with Italy winning two, however Portugal had won the most recent contest.
Hence the Portuguese were the team creating the goal-scoring opportunities and dominating play, but on six minutes, Italy scored against the run of play – after a shot from Madjer (Portugal's twelfth of the match), Corosiniti played a ball through the middle to Zurlo who slotted home Italy's first shot of the match.
Portugal continued to dominate, having over 70% possession of the ball, but Italy began creating opportunities of their own as the period neared its end.
Del Mestre was forced into good saves from Jordan and then Be Martins, whilst, Gori and Zurlo saw their free kicks go narrowly wide for Italy.
Leo Martins won possession just inside his own half and lead Portugal on a quick counterattack, ultimately squaring the ball to an unmarked Jordan in the middle who fired home at the edge of the box.
However, the Italian mistakenly parried the ball back into the centre of the box; with the goal left undefended, Lourenço pounced onto the loose ball for a tap in, putting Portugal up 3–1.
Despite the two goal gap, the game remained balanced as the second half of period two progressed; Leo Martins wasted a great chance, a one-on-one opportunity against the goalkeeper, shooting wide.
Jordan converted a powerful free kick from the centre of the pitch during the opening stages of period three to open up a 4–1 lead for Portugal.
One minute later, Jordan was guilty of a foul on Gori, conceding a penalty, but the Italian's spot kick attempt was saved by Andrade.
Soon after, Leo Martins completed a brace from a free kick given away by Marinai just outside the Italian box, extending the Portuguese lead to 5–1 with just eight minutes left on the clock.
And then from Ramacciotti's corner, Josep Junior ran from deep to head in at the back post for 5–3, reigniting the match as a contest, seeing Portugal take a more cautious approach into the final minutes.
Gori almost made it 5–4 with two minutes left, hitting a bicycle kick against the post, but a controversial foul by Ramacciotti mere seconds later (for which he was booked) allowed Jordan to complete his hat-trick via the free kick.
But the goal bothered Portugal not as they knew they had the game won, and as the last seconds ticked by, the TV cameras were already focused on Madjer on the Portuguese bench who had begun crying.
When the individual awards were presented at the conclusion of the final, players of the final's competing teams, Italy and Portugal, mopped up those on offer, claiming five of the seven available.
Italy's Gabriele Gori and Emmanuele Zurlo won the Golden and Silver Scorer awards respectively, whilst Portugal's Jordan Santos, Bê Martins and Elinton Andrade won the Silver, Bronze Balls and Golden Glove awards respectively.
In the end, we have the bitterness of not having won the final, it will always be there, the truth is that we had a great tournament and we need to be happy to have gone all the way to the final.
At this moment what is in my soul is a great joy, not only for me but also for those who are in the dressing room... the feeling that I made my contribution to this achievement is amazing.

Grizzly Mountain is a mountain summit located in Glacier National Park, in the Hermit Range of the Selkirk Mountains in British Columbia, Canada.
It is also set north of Cheops Mountain, and west of Rogers Pass from which it can be seen from the Trans-Canada Highway.
The closest peak to Grizzly is Ursus Minor Mountain, to the west-southwest, and its nearest higher peak is Mount Sifton, to the north.
The first ascent of the mountain was made August 31, 1901, by John E. Bushnell, August S. Eggers, Karl Schuluneggar, and Friedrich Michel via the southeast couloir.
It was so-named because of its proximity above Bear Creek (since renamed Connaught Creek), and in keeping with the bear theme of other nearby features such as Ursus Major Mountain, Ursus Minor Mountain, Bruins Pass, and Balu Pass.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Grizzly Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.
Precipitation runoff from the mountain and meltwater from a small unnamed glacier on its northwest slope drains into tributaries of the Beaver River and Illecillewaet River.

The playoff format was modified to account for the increased number of teams; eight teams would qualify for the playoffs rather than the previous six.
This change allowed for a traditional single-elimination tournament to be played from the quarterfinal stage rather than having the top two teams automatically progress to the semifinal round.
The preliminary series () is played as a double round-robin plus a two-game Opening Weekend Tournament; each of the ten teams plays a total of twenty matches.
Points are awarded by match outcome, regulation wins earn three points, overtime wins earn 2 points, overtime losses earn 1 point, and no points are awarded for regulation losses.
The points earned in the opening series determine which division a team will be sorted for the continuation of the season.
Upper Division teams are guaranteed placement in the playoffs; the points earned in the ten divisional series games are added to the points totals from the preliminary series and used to establish the teams' playoff berths, from first to sixth.
The bottom four teams in the opening series move on to the Lower Division (), where they are joined by the top two teams from the Cross-Qualifiers () of the Naisten Mestis, the league directly below Naisten Liiga.
The Lower Division teams compete for the seventh and eighth seed positions in the playoffs; only the top two ranked teams from the Lower Division earn places in the playoffs.
Unlike the in Upper Division, all Lower Division teams start the divisional series with zero points, only points earned in the series are considered when the teams are ranked.
The points earned in the six qualifying series games are added to the points totals from the Lower Division divisional series.
The two teams with the highest point totals qualify for the 2020–21 Naisten Liiga season, the two lower ranked teams are relegated to the Naisten Mestis for the following season.
Top six teams advanced to the Upper Division (), while teams ranking sixth through tenth progressed to the Lower Division ().

In 1825, antlers of the Irish elk were discovered; and, in 1828, a bronze trumpet, spear and arrow heads of bronze were found.
A local legend concerns a princess named Theresa who lived in the castle in the 18th century; she was very fond of oranges and was later forced to move to County Cavan for unclear reasons.
Her doctoral research involved the use of electrophysiology to study unicellular marine algae, in an effort to understand how they maintain homeostasis for calcium and sodium ions.
In 1993, after earning her PhD, Amtmann investigated ion transport properties in barley in Dale Sanders' laboratory at the University of York.
Whilst at York she developed microarrays that could be used to monitor how ion transporters responded to nutrient deficiency and salinity.
Marine organisms have developed strategies to avoid toxicity, and Amtmann looks to identify these organisms, fit them with molecular engines and encourage them to take up salt until they are saturated with salt.
The salt-packed cells will die and can be removed from the system, leaving fresh water and a waste product that can be used for bio-cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
Algae UK looks to increase research and development into high value products created from microalgae and macroalgae, as well as increasing attention to cyanobacterial synthetic biology.
The 2018–19 Liga IV Olt was the 51st season of the Liga IV Olt, the fourth tier of the Romanian football league system.

The 130 seats in the House of Representatives consist of 115 members elected by open list proportional representation from 23 constituencies of between three and nine seats in size and 15 seats reserved for women.
Nine of the 115 proportional representation seats are reserved for the Christian minority, with another three reserved for the Chechen and Circassian minorities.
The 15 seats for women are awarded to the woman who received the most votes (but failed to be elected on their list) in each of the twelve governorates and the three Badia districts.
The facility, which was designed by a Mr Johnson of Sheffield in the Jacobean style, opened as Bakewell Union Workhouse in 1841.
It became the Bakewell Public Assistance Institution in 1930 and then joined the National Health Service as Newholme Hospital in 1948.
Although it was announced in July 2017 that the hospital would close, it was confirmed, in December 2018, that a new health hub would be built on part of the site.
The building has become a symbol for the radical left in Berlin in the same manner as Rozbrat in Poznań or Ungdomshuset in Copenhagen.
What can be seen from the street used to be the back of the building, since the front half was destroyed by bombing at the end of World War II and was never rebuilt.
During World War II, the building was used by the Allgemeine Elektrizitäts-Gesellschaft (the general electricity company) to house French forced labourers.
Under the German Democratic Republic (GDR), the building was used for sports activities and there was a bowling alley in the basement.
The police did not attempt to evict the occupation, which marked the first time people from West Berlin had squatted in East Berlin.
Køpi has become a important symbol for the radical left in Berlin, linked to projects elsewhere such as the Ungdomshuset in Copenhagen and Rozbrat in Poznań.
The auction was unsuccessful with none of almost 30 participants offering to buy the property, which had an estimated value of 5.4 million marks.
In the meantime, the residents carried out essential repairs such as plumbing and preferred not to repair the facade, since they wanted to remember the chequered history of the building.
They also carried out many political actions designed to ensure their survival in the house and this made the building unattractive to investors.
For example, when another auction of the building was held in 2007, outside the courtroom there were 300 supporters of Køpi and also 300 hundred police officers.
Beforehand, the police had voiced concerns about violence, warning that the political situation was already tense after a solidarity demonstration for Ungdomshuset.
The auction was this time successful, the building being sold for €835,000 (half the estimated market value) to an agent of the new owner called Besnik Fichtner, an Albanian managing director of the company Plutonium 114.
The Versicherungskammer Bayern in Münich and the Volkskreditbank in Linz were forced to deny they had anything to do with the company, despite having the same initials as it.
After one month, the police raided Nehls' headquarters (named as Vitalis Beteiligungsgesellschaft für Altbauten mbH) and twenty other properties, investigating financial irregularities.
In addition to being a housing project, the building hosted a variety of activities, including a bar, vegan café, concert venue, cinema, infoshop, gym, printing workshop, rehearsal space and a climbing wall.
Marilyn E. Saviola (July 13, 1945 – November 23, 2019) was an American disability rights activist, executive director of the Center for the Independence of the Disabled in New York from 1983 to 1999, and vice president of Independence Care System after 2000.
Saviola, a polio survivor from Manhattan, New York, is known nationally within the disability rights movement for her advocacy for people with disabilities and had accepted many awards and honors for her work.
Her parents, Peter Saviola and Camilla 'Millie' Saviola, who had no other children, were Italian immigrants who ran a candy shop/luncheonette in the Bronx.
While working at Goldwater Memorial, Saviola assisted individuals with severe physical disabilities and helped them with transitioning from living in the hospital to living in the community.
She was executive director of the Center for the Independence of the Disabled in New York from 1983 to 1998, and vice president of Independence Care System after 2000.
She chaired the Manhattan Borough Disability Advisory Group, and served on the boards of the Association of Independent Living Centers in New York, Disabled in Action, and the New York City Medicaid Managed Care Task Force.
In 1979, she spoke at one of the first conferences on disabled women's lives, sponsored by the New York City Commission on the Status of Women and the Mayor's Office for the Handicapped.
Her advocacy work was credited in 2019 at the opening of a new radiology unit at NYC Health + Hospitals' Morrisania location in the Bronx, which featured accessible examination tables and mammography equipment.
In 2015, she received the Henry Viscardi Achievement Award for her lifetime of work in disability rights and in 2017, the New York State Disability Rights Hall of Fame inducted Saviola as part of their inaugural class of inductees.
An oral history interview with Saviola, about her life and activism, was recorded in 2001, is archived with the Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement (DRILM) Oral History Project at the Bancroft Library in Berkeley, California.

On January 5, 1935, a man who had given his name as Roland T. Owen, later identified as Artemus Ogletree, died at a hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, United States, of beating and stabbing injuries.
When no next of kin could be located, leading to suspicions that his name was an alias, his body was stored in a local funeral parlor for almost two months.
The man's true identity remained unknown for a year and a half until Ruby Ogletree, an Alabama woman who had seen a photo of a distinctive scar on his head in the news, identified him as her son Artemus.
At the end of the last one he revealed that in 2003 or 2004, he had taken a call from someone out of state related to the case.
The caller said that they had been helping to inventory the belongings of a recently deceased elderly person when they found a box with newspaper clippings about the Ogletree case and an item mentioned repeatedly in the stories, but they refused to say what that item was.
During his childhood an accident with some hot grease left a sizable scar on his head above his ear, which remained hairless afterward.
Early on the afternoon of January 2, 1935, Ogletree walked into the Hotel President, in the Power & Light District of Kansas City, Missouri, and asked for an interior room several floors up, giving his name as Roland T. Owen, with a Los Angeles address.
The staff noted that in addition to the visible scar on his temple, he had cauliflower ear, and concluded he was probably a boxer or professional wrestler.
On the way, Ogletree told him that he had spent the previous night at the nearby Muehlebach Hotel but found the $5 ($ in current dollars) nightly rate too high.
Propst opened Room 1046, which per the guest's request was on the inside, overlooking the hotel's courtyard rather than the street outside.
A short time afterward, Mary Soptic, one of the hotel maids, returned from a day off to work the afternoon shift.
She went into Room 1046 and was surprised to find Ogletree there, since the previous night a woman had been in the room.
He then left, but asked her to leave the room unlocked as he was expecting some friends in a few minutes.
The door was locked, which led her to assume that Ogletree was out since it could only be locked from the outside, but when she opened it with her own key Ogletree was present, sitting in the dark just where he had been the previous afternoon.
Two hours later, Jean Owen of Lee's Summit, near Kansas City, checked into the President after having shopped in the city for a few hours.
She was given Room 1048; her boyfriend, who worked in a flower shop in the city, came to visit her there at 9:20 p.m. and stayed for two hours.
Elevator operator Charles Blocher, who began his shift at midnight, reported later that he was fairly busy until 1:30 a.m. After that time, most of the hotel quieted down for the night, except for a loud party in Room 1055.
Blocher recalled one visitor in particular, a woman he had seen at the hotel visiting male guests in their rooms on other occasions and thus believed to be a prostitute, a conclusion shared by other hotel staff who were familiar with her.
She came in first sometime during his first three hours; he took her to the 10th floor where she asked about Room 1026.
Five minutes later, the elevator was summoned there again; it turned out to be the same woman, who expressed puzzlement that her client was not in Room 1046 since, she said, he had called her and on previous visits with him he had always been present.
She wondered if, in fact, he was in Room 1024 since she could see through the room's transom window that the light was on in there.
At 4:15 a.m., a call from that floor turned out to be the woman; he took her to the lobby and she left the hotel for the night.
Another call to the 9th floor 15 minutes later turned out to be the man who had come up with her.
At 11 p.m. Robert Lane, a city worker driving on 13th Street near Lydia Avenue, saw a man dressed in only an undershirt, pants and shoes run into his path and flag him down.
In the mirror Lane saw a deep scratch on the man's arm; he also noticed that he was cupping his arm, possibly to catch blood from a more severe wound.
At the nearby intersection of 12th Street and Troost Avenue, where taxi drivers often waited for fares during the overnight hours, Lane stopped and let the man out.
The man thanked him, got out, and honked the horn of a taxi parked nearby, drawing the driver from a nearby restaurant, after which Lane drove away.
He saw the same scratch on the arm and went to the police, telling them he believed Ogletree had been the man he picked up.
She was preparing to make a requested wakeup call to Room 1046 when she noticed a light indicating that the phone there was off the hook.
After several loud knocks, a voice from inside told him to enter; however he could not as the door had been locked.
The light from the hallway showed some dark spots on the bedding, but rather than turn on the room light Pike went to the telephone stand, where he saw the phone had been knocked to the floor.
This time he had a key, and after his knocks drew no response, he opened the door and found Ogletree on his knees and elbows two feet (60 cm) away, his head bloodied.
Propst turned the light on, put the phone back on the hook, and then noticed blood on the walls of both the main room and bathroom, as well as on the bed itself.
He returned with the assistant manager, but when they did they could only open the door six inches (15 cm), as Ogletree had in the interim fallen on the floor.
Eventually Ogletree got up and when the two hotel employees were able to enter the room, he went and sat on the edge of the bathtub.
He had been stabbed more than once in the chest above the heart; one of these wounds had punctured his lung.
The Kansas City Police Department (KCPD) began investigating immediately by interviewing Jean Owen, whose identical last name and proximity to the dead man overnight struck them as interesting.
Since much of it had dried by the time he had arrived, he estimated the wounds had been inflicted between 4 and 5 a.m. that day, consistent with what Pike had seen and before Propst's first visit.
The only evidence of anything other than what Ogletree had been wearing was the tag of a necktie, indicating it had been made by a New Jersey company.
There were no knives, which led to the dismissal of suicide as a cause of Ogletree's death since the stab wounds in his chest could not be accounted for; the cords tying him up also suggested the involvement of others.
Detectives found some other items that might have been evidence: a hairpin, safety pin, unsmoked cigarette, and a full bottle of diluted sulfuric acid.
Four fingerprints, small enough that detectives believed they had been a woman's, were found on the room's phone; they could not be matched to Ogletree or to any of the hotel employees who had been known to have entered the room.
Officers in Kansas City contacted the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to notify next of kin, but were informed that they could find no record that anyone under that name was living in the California city at the time.
The dead man's fingerprints were sent to what was at the time the Justice Department's Bureau of Investigation (later the FBI) to find a possible match in their collection.
On January 6, the Sunday newspapers reported that the man in Room 1046 had died under an assumed name, and tips began coming in.
Members of the public went to the local funeral home where he had been laid out, leading Lane to tell police of his encounter with the man.
After interviewing Lane, Johnson was not as certain as Lane was that the man had been Ogletree, since none of the hotel staff had reported seeing him leave or return during the night of January 3–4.
Wire services began picking up the story, and it ran in newspapers and on radio around the country, with requests to send photographs to Kansas City.
More leads on the man's identity came in as a result, and the KCPD had to devote considerable time to corresponding with police all over the country via mail and telegram to follow up on leads.
In Kansas City, an early lead proved false when a bloodied towel found at the hotel turned out to have been used to clean up Room 1046 after the police had left.
Officers recalled Propst's account that on his way there after he checked in, the man had said that he had left the nearby Muehlebach Hotel after one night due to their high rates, and checked with that hotel's staff.
No Roland T. Owen had checked in there, but staff recalled a man of Ogletree's appearance checking in under the name Eugene K. Scott, also giving Los Angeles as his address, and requesting a room on the interior of the building.
The mystery seemed solved when a man identified the body as his cousin, but then when the man's sister came to view the body, she confirmed that the cousin had in fact died five years earlier; the resemblance between the two had been very strong.
A week into the investigation, Toni Bernardi, a wrestling promoter from Little Rock, Arkansas, said after viewing the body that the man, identifying himself as Cecil Werner, had approached him around the beginning of December 1934 about wrestling some matches.
Within a few days, two new homicides in the city drew detectives' attention away from the case, even as more were assigned to the homicide squad.
Leads were still followed, but less vigorously than they had been in the week after the case, and none of them yielded any significant information.
The case returned to the newspapers on March 3, when the funeral home where the body had been kept announced it would be burying the man in the city's potter's field the next day.
That day, the funeral home received a call from a man who asked that the funeral be delayed so they could send the funeral home the money for a grave and service at Memorial Park Cemetery in Kansas City, Kansas, so, the caller said, the dead man would be near his sister.
The funeral director warned the caller he would have to tell the police about the call; the caller said he knew and that did not bother him.
The caller and the two women had apparently arranged the encounter with him at the President in order to exact revenge.
On March 23, the funeral home received a delivery envelope, the address carefully lettered using a ruler with $25 ($ in current dollars) wrapped in newspaper; it was enough to cover the expenses.
Two additional envelopes with $5 each were sent to a local florist for an arrangement of 13 American Beauty roses to go with the grave, after a similar call was made to them; both phone calls turned out to have been made from pay phones.
The unidentified man looked a great deal like her son Artemus, whom the family had not seen since he left to hitchhike to California in 1934, although he had kept up correspondence with them.
Ruby contacted the KCPD, and was able to provide enough information about the previous pseudonymous corpse, including a description of his head scar, which she explained was the result of a childhood accident in which some hot grease had spilled there.
In November, another issue of the supplement carried a story identifying the man as Artemus Ogletree and explaining how his identity had been determined.
The first, early in 1935, postmarked in Chicago, aroused her suspicions since it was typewritten, and Artemus as far as she knew did not know how to type.
Artemus himself could not call because he was now living in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, where he had married a wealthy woman and was well.
He was unable to write, the caller said, because he had lost one of his thumbs in the fight where he had saved the caller.
If Artemus had, at some point before his death, gone to Egypt or anywhere else overseas, he had not done so under his own name.
Information developed through the police's conversations with Ruby Ogletree helped them establish a third hotel in Kansas City, the St. Regis, where Artemus had stayed.
In 1937 the New York City police arrested a man named Joseph Martin on a murder charge, after he had killed a man he roomed with and put the body in a trunk to be shipped to Memphis.
In 2003 or 2004, John Horner, a local historian at the Kansas City Public Library, fielded a call from someone out of state who said they had been helping to inventory the belongings of an elderly person who had recently died.
Among them was a shoebox which turned out to be filled with newspaper clippings related to the case, as well as, according to them, one item mentioned in the newspaper stories.
Horner did not make this public until the conclusion of the second of two posts he made on the library's blog retelling the story in 2012.
The 2018 New Hampshire Senate election was held on November 6, 2018, concurrently with the elections for the New Hampshire House of Representatives, to elect members to the 166th New Hampshire General Court.
It resulted in Democrats gaining control of both chambers of the New Hampshire General Court, ending the total control of New Hampshire's state government, that Republicans had held in New Hampshire since the 2016 state elections.
In addition, Republican Chris Sununu won the open 2016 New Hampshire gubernatorial election giving the New Hampshire Republican Party total control for the first time since Governor Craig Benson was defeated by Democrat John Lynch in the 2004 New Hampshire gubernatorial election.
In the aftermath of his 2016 election, then president-elect Donald Trump claimed in a tweet that voter fraud had occurred in New Hampshire.
Senate Bill 3 (SB 3) passed both chambers of the New Hampshire General Court on party-line votes and was signed in to law by Governor Sununu on July, 10 2017.
It also included jail sentences of up to one year or a fine of up to $5,000, if voters registered and not provided necessary paperwork as proof within 10 day or 30 days in smaller towns.
Republicans pointed to over 5,000 voters who voted in the 2016 election after identifying with an out-of-state driver's licence, that have not gotten an in-state licence as of September 2017.
Democrats suspected a voter suppression scheme, that targeted college students, that they think are most likely to use identification issued by other states.
They pointed to the Supreme Court's decision in Symm v. United States, that guaranteed college students the right to vote at their university.
The trial judge of the Hillsborough Superior Court decided on October 22, 2018, that the state cannot apply the law in the upcoming elections.
The State Supreme Court sided with the state in an unanimous 5-0 decision arguing that overturning the law so close to elections was potentially confusing and disruptive.
In the New Hampshire Senate, Democrats were able to flip Districts 9, 11, 12, 23 and 24, while the Republicans flipped District 1.
The Democratic gains were mostly in less rural areas in Southern and Eastern New Hampshire while the Republican gains were limited to one rural seat in the North Country.The incumbent Democratic Senator in District 1 one was accused of domestic violence and charged a few months before the election.
He won the Democratic primary on September 11, 2018, but was defeated by Republican David Starr in the 2018 general election.
Anderson studied at Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas and the Augustana Theological Seminary before being ordained by the Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church in 1912.
As a former German colony the territory had hosted missions of the German Lutheran Church but these were expelled in 1917 during the First World War.
Anderson oversaw the expansion of the church's role in the territory and in 1944 was appointed President and director of its General Administrative Committee, becoming responsible for the church's entire operation in Tanganyika.
He later graduated from the Augustana Theological Seminary; studied at the University of Minnesota and the Union Theological Seminary and was awarded a doctorate.
Anderson was ordained as a pastor in 1912 and found work preaching in the Midwestern United States with the Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church.
At one point he was at the First Lutheran Church in Saint Paul, Minnesota where he ministered to a congregation of over 1,500 people.
In 1919 he was amongst a group of people praying at a church meeting for a new bible school to train Lutheran missionaries.
Amongst the attendees was Annette Elmquist, who had attended a non-Lutheran bible school and was keen for the church to have its own.
The Lutheran church had been active in missionary work in Tanganyika before the First World War, however the largely German missionaries were expelled by British forces in 1917.
The Augustana Church was asked to take over the abandoned missions by the German Lutheran Church and in Summer 1924 Anderson with his wife and three sons (LeRoy.
Anderson reported good potential in the area and a formal mission was dispatched by the church in 1926, with Anderson being appointed a missionary by the church's Board of Foreign Missions.
After some deliberation (he would have to leave behind his family, including daughter Dorothy who was then ill with tuberculosis) Anderson agreed and returned to Tanganyika on January 6, 1926 with fellow missionaries Herbert S Magney and Ludwig Melander.
Anderson initially spent his time teaching new pastors at the mission's seminary in Marangu but reported to the church that there was a good appetite for the Lutheran faith in Iramba and it was decided to establish a mission there.
Anderson was appointed head of the mission and led four American missionaries and one from Leipzig (who held Russian citizenship and so was permitted entry by the British authorities).
Anderson's speciality was in evangelism and the study of the Iramba language, into which he translated the New Testament and various hymns, liturgies and catechisms .
Anderson's wife and children joined him at Iramba from 1927 and remained with him until his retirement in 1956, though Annette would sometimes reside in the United States with some of the children to ensure their education.
Anderson occasionally returned to the United States on leave and during these periods worked to generate support for the African missions.
From 1944 he was appointed president and director of the General Administrative Committee of the Augustana Lutheran Church (which until 1944 was known as the General Committee of Former German Missions).
One key task was to negotiate with the colony's government over the ownership of land and property formerly held by the German Lutheran Church.
During Anderson's time in Africa the Lutheran missions expanded to encompass a number of churches and dispensaries, a hospital at Kiomboi and leper centres at Mkalama and Iambi.
Anderson retired in 1956 and was invited to remain in Tanganyika by the local church but chose to return to the United States.
Based on an eponymous autographical book by author Dave Roberts, the film is set in north Kent, in the suburbs of London, during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The film touches briefly on the euphoria caused by England winning the World Cup in 1966, but mainly recounts the events in the protagonist's life during the 1969/1970 season of the Bromley team.
In the late 1960s, a young British teenager, David (Dave) Roberts (Brenock O'Connor), is living in his parents' house in Sevenoaks.
He wishes to follow a major football (soccer) team, but because of his father's strong disapproval, he is forced into secretly following his local club, Bromley FC, who at that time were losing almost every game they played.
He attends, and carefully analyses every match, and keeps a scrapbook of every press mention they get, no matter how negative.
David meets and become close friends with three adult Bromley FC fans (TJ Herbert, Mark Dymond, Ewen MacIntosh) who encourage and support him.
Dave also meets, and rapidly falls in love with, Ruby McQueen (Savannah Baker), the pretty and bright teenage daughter of Charlie McQueen (Jamie Foreman), the tough scary Chairman of the football club.
Having sneaked into Charlie McQueen's office, and noticed some notes on player's files, Dave believes that McQueen has received large cash offers from both Manchester United and Leeds United to sell Stoney away from Bromley.
It seems to Dave that McQueen is planning to accept, in order to pay off his massive gambling debts, which have rendered the club bankrupt.
The Chairman see this news on television, and now imagines he will be able to pay off all his gambling debts and come out ahead.
He announces the good news about Stoney at a party, and explains he can now afford to send his daughter to university to become a doctor, her dream.
But Dave suddenly understands that he misinterpreted what he read: the notes he saw were not about cash offers from leading football clubs, instead they were offers to Ruby from Manchester University and Leeds University.
In order to save Bromley, Dave browbeats the Chairman into selling his expensive sports car, and betting all of the cash on Bromley FC to win their final game of the season, at odds of 10 to 1 against.
Despite Dave's attempts to suggest a new game plan, the first half of the game goes poorly, with Bromley scoring an own goal.
But then Dave accidentally finds out that his father was originally a brilliant athlete who played youth soccer for England before being crippled in an accident on the field.
Before the Bromley team goes out for the second half, Dave gives an impassioned speech, which Stoney endorses, and which causes the team to play better than anyone would have thought possible.
First a tie goal is scored, and then Stoney manages to score a very challenging goal on a free kick, and Bromley FC wins 2-1.

He moved to New Orleans and taught high school, as well as driver's education across the metropolitan area while simultaneously earning his Juris Doctorate from the Loyola University New Orleans College of Law.
There he became best friends with Peter Castano whose death would trigger the start of the third wave of Tobacco litigation.
Gauthier was also a coalition builder in a field that was normally extremely competitive and looked beyond his field to form close partnerships with politicians including dozens of city mayors including Mayor Marc Morial as well as Governor Edwin Edwards, and President Clinton.
Gauthier agreed to be part of a panel of experts that fixed the problem, preventing more explosions and therefore more lawsuits.

State and official visits to the United Kingdom are formal visits by the head of state of one country to the United Kingdom, during which the British Sovereign acts as official host of the visitor.
It is a royal event that involves the all assets in the Civil Service, the Royal Household and the Household Division.
State visits do not formally occur between the United Kingdom and the 15 other Commonwealth realms, as the realms all share a common monarch and head of state.
In addition, official visits to the United Kingdom by another Commonwealth realm are typically performed by their respective governor general, who in that capacity are usually in the country for an audience with the Queen.
One of the more notable as well as earliest instances of a state visit to the British Isle is the Grand Embassy of Peter the Great, which was a diplomatic mission to Western Europe in 1697 and 1698 led by Peter the Great of the Russian Empire.
Queen Victoria hosted Napoleon III for a state visit at Windsor Castle in 1855, although it consisted of more informal arrangements.
Very few formal state visits to the country did not take place prior to the reign of Queen Elizabeth in the 20th century.
One of those few state visits included one by Kaiser Wilhelm II during the reign of his uncle Edward VII in 1907.
They are usually greeted on behalf of the Queen by a member of the Royal family and the UK Foreign Secretary.
The dignitary and the monarch then ride down The Mall in a state carriage (usually the 1902 State Landau) escorted by the Household Cavalry with street liners coming from the Foot Guards.
An arrival ceremony usually takes place on Horse Guards Parade (although there are also some instances where it takes place at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle) with a Guard of Honour being provided by members of the Queen's Guard (usually found from one of the five regiments of foot guards: Grenadier Guards, Coldstream Guards, Scots Guards, Irish Guards, and the Welsh Guards).
Prior to a welcoming ceremony at Windsor Castle, the state guest receives a welcome at Datchet railway station with the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment and it's mounted band.
If it takes place on Horse Guards Parade, then the foreign guest and the Queen travel to Buckingham Palace in a carriage procession escorted by a large number of mounted soldiers from the Household Cavalry.
Exceptions to this included Xi Jinping who was received with a 41-gun salute in Green Park and a simultaneous 62-gun salute at the Tower of London and City of London (103 guns in total).
In recent years, Windsor Castle has hosted arrival ceremonies from President Thank Mbeki of South Africa, Abdullah II of Jordan, President Barack Obama and Margrethe II of Denmark.
During the lattermost visit, the guard of honour was provided by the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, a unit of which she is Colonel in Chief.
Guards of honour have also been accorded for visiting dignitaries who are in the country on official or even working visits, including Soviet leaders Nikita Khrushchev and Mikhail Gorbachev in 1956 and 1989 respectively as well as US President Donald Trump in 2018.
The largest guard of honour to be formed up for a state visit was in 2003 during the visit of President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush, when an arrival ceremony took place in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace, in which the Household Cavalry and the King's Troop were paraded in front of the visiting dignitaries.
After all royal mertings are held, the visitor then engages in meetings with leaders in Her Majesty's Government, beginning with the British Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street.
Meetings are also held with the Leader of the Opposition, the leaders of all parties in the House of Commons, and members of the British Cabinet.

Precipitation runoff from the mountain and meltwater from small unnamed glaciers on its slopes drains into tributaries of the Illecillewaet River and Beaver River.
In 1747 he married the descendant of another prominent local family, Margaret Bridger, a descendant of the 17th-century Virginia political figure General Joseph Bridger.
They raised a large family, including a number of sons that would follow their father into mercantile pursuits and, later, privateering.
One of his daughters, Agatha, married Robert Shedden, who would also become a prominent Loyalist as well as Goodrich's business partner.
Some of his close relatives ended up on the opposite side of the conflict, including two nephews who served as officers on the Patriot side.
He and his sons owned and operated a dozen ships by 1774, and Goodrich also owned his own wharves, dry goods stores, warehouses, and other establishments useful to his shipping business.
Operating primarily out of Portsmouth, his small fleet shipped agricultural and timber commodities to the West Indies and to other ports in the colonies.
The Revolutionary War posed a serious threat to merchants like Goodrich, with blockades cutting off imports and exports, and privateers from both sides attacking merchant vessels.
Goodrich himself does not seem to have been particularly ideological; both sides of the conflict apparently understood he was more motivated by profit than politics.
Using one of Goodrich's sons, William, as a go-between, they provided £5,000 for the purchase of powder in the West Indies, with the understanding that John Goodrich, the father, would assist him in successfully bringing the cargo back without attracting notice.
The family elected to also purchase other cargo on the trip, risking the wrath of both the British and Patriot sides.
Though the powder did reach its destination, an intercepted letter to John Goodrich from his son-in-law Robert Shedden revealed the conspiracy to Dunmore, who took Shedden and another of Goodrich's sons into custody.
Though he recognized Goodrich's essentially mercenary character, Dunmore seized the opportunity to augment British forces with a family of experienced, capable, and ambitious ship captains.
Having been convinced that his family's interests would be better served by the British, Goodrich and his family turned to the Loyalist cause.
He set out to the West Indies to reclaim some of the money that had been left with a merchant there to purchase additional powder, but was quickly captured by British forces unaware of his new loyalties and promptly sent back to Dunmore.
On 9 March 1776, the Virginia Committee of Safety sequestered the lands and property of the Goodrich family, and when one of the Goodrich sons was caught attempting to transport slaves and stock from the sequestered property, the committee had the property confiscated and put up for auction.
Under his agreement with Dunmore, Goodrich's ships had been commissioned directly into government service, and he and his sons became some of the most notorious of the Loyalist privateers.
He was captured in North Carolina on 17 April 1776 while engaged in privateering, and by May was in a Virginia jail.
Being found guilty of treason, his entire estate was confiscated and he was imprisoned under guard, effectively a prisoner of war.
His sons vehemently rejected the committee's offer of neutrality and continued in royal service, with one joining Simcoe's Rangers, and John Goodrich himself returned to privateering after escaping prison.
His son John Goodrich, Jr. was High Sheriff of Glamorganshire in 1798, while another descendant, James Pitt Goodrich, was High Sheriff of Denbighshire in 1878.

Donald E. Stokes (1 April 1927 – 26 January 1997) was an American political scientist and dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
Through thousands of interviews with American citizens during the election periods in 1948, 1952, 1954, 1956 and 1958, the authors first identified several of the core results in voting behavior that would form the Michigan model.
These include the importance of party identification, the low information level of many voters, and the large number of voters who remain undecided until immediately before an election.
At Princeton, he became the dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, which expanded significantly under his oversight.
Stokes is one of the most cited political scientists of all time, and is widely regarded as a founding scholar in the empirical study of political behavior.
On 20 December 2019, International Criminal Court chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda announced an investigation into alleged war crimes committed during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Israel has argued that the court does not apply to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because Palestine is not a state, as Israeli attorney general Avichai Mandelblit argued in a brief released hours before Bensouda's announcement.
According to Bensouda's report, the Israeli judicial system already makes provision for punishing those accused of war crimes—meaning that the ICC may not have jurisdiction over alleged Israeli violations.
Israel is accused of illegally establishing West Bank settlements and violating the laws of war during the 2014 Gaza War, including claims of targeting Red Cross installations.
Australia argued that the issues should be resolved by negotiation, while Germany stated that it trusts the court and wants to avoid politicising the case.

On his father‘s side he is the 4th generation in Jerusalem - his great-grandfather came to Israel from Slonim-Russia in 1867, and was a teacher (Melamed, in Hebrew) in the Hurva Synagogue in the Old city.
After finishing high school he was accepted to the academic reserve (in Hebrew העתודה האקדמית) and studied Physics-Mathematics at the Hebrew University, in a special program which included computer studies for the first time in Israel.
Alpert was asked to continue his reserve service in the IDF, as an exception, until the age of 56, since he had developed the modeling scientific basis for the modern forecasting infrastructure at the Meteorological Service and the Air Force.
During his service as a Meteorology officer in the Israel Air Force, Alpert was confronted with the severe difficulty of flood forecasting.
This motivated him to develop new techniques to predict and monitor rain, as well as to develop high-resolution models to improve forecasting.
After his release from the IDF he began his Ph.D. studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem , during which he built his own meteorological model, which successfully explained the typical summer afternoon storms over the Sea of Galilee (Lake Kinneret).
After two years in Boston, in 1982, he was invited by the Department of Geophysics and Planetary Sciences at Tel-Aviv University (now the Department of Earth Sciences) to become a faculty member.
During the years 2005-2008 Alpert served as Head of the Department of Geophysics at Tel-Aviv University, and then in 2008-2013 he served as the Head of the TAU Porter School for Environmental Studies.
Alpert‘s research group is engaged in theoretical studies and observations of the dynamics of atmospheric processes, using hydro-dynamical models for numerically solving the development of different phenomena.
He was the first to investigate theoretically several synoptic systems in Israel, including Sharav low, Cyprus low, Red Sea Trough, etc.
In order to investigate atmospheric phenomena Alpert devised a method allowing for the identification of the effect by different factors, including separation of synergistic effects.
The atmospheric models applied by Alpert are of three different types: The first is used for study of weather forecasting difficulties, and investigating phenomena such as rain, cyclone genesis, winds, etc.
The second type is of climate models which can be run ~100 years into the future, and with this method Alpert was the first to investigate detailed potential climate changes due to global warming in the Middle-East.
The third type of models focuses on aerosols in the atmosphere, with emphasis on mineral dust mainly from the Sahara and the Middle-East region, as well as sea-salt particles, and their effect on weather and climate.
In this book Alpert analyses weather phenomena appearing in Jewish literature, provides modern scientific explanations, and ties the literary descriptions to common situations in the climate of Israel.

It was originally a stone and was born outside the heavens and the earth, during the Chaos era and the Xuanhuang era.
Shiji was originally a stone, who receives the essence of the sun and the moon, that was born beyond the cosmos and has become a divine spirit by undergoing earth, water, fire and air.
One day, Nezha used the bow and arrow of Rulai to shoot kill Shiji's children, and finally Shiji was also killed with a magic pestle (魔杵).
Shiji lives in the White Bone Cave of Skull Mountain, and there are two apprentices under the gate, Biyun Tongzi and Caiyun Tonger.
While trapped in this net, Taiyi summoned several dragons which unleashed a large volley of fire into the net; instantly killing Shiji and turning her back into her original form as a molten rock.
In line with preceding argument, one might also view these circumstances as contributing to the author's careful construction of sympathy pathy for Nezha.
Located in Caishiji, five miles southwest of Ma'anshan City, the Sanyuan Cave Temple (三元洞) is built with a sitting statue of Shiji.

Violence against them is considered to be a widespread and serious national problem because in Ukraine they can become victims of commercial sexual exploitation, police violence, civil rights abuses and human trafficking.
The process was followed by transition to free market economy and rapid social changes, like impoverishment of population, high unemployment, and subsequently — sky-rocketing juvenile delinquency, wide spread of street drugs and adolescent suicides during the mid-1990s.
Living on the streets exposes the youngsters to a wide number of risk factors, and due to their effect the great part of the infants falls behind in the schooling.
The main risks of street life in Ukraine are physical and sexual violence, drug abuse, malnutrition, police abuse and harassment, risky sexual activity, forced sex, unintended pregnancy, and different kinds of infections, like HIV, tuberculosis, STDs and hepatitis.
The risks contribute to the psychological and emotional condition of the street youngsters instigating among them traumatism, depressions, sense of isolation, and insufficient self-esteem.
As a result their everyday surviving can be characterized as deviation from the ethical norms of the civil society since the street children tend to be inclined to criminal activities (theft, robbery and property damage), vagrancy, substance abuse and prostitution regardless of their gender.
The spread of HIV among the Ukrainian street children attracted a lot of special research interest due to their way of life.
The available data show that the street children and youth of the major cities make up about 33 % of total population at risk.
Testing of HIV samples collected in different Ukrainian cities demonstrates that HIV prevalence among street children may be as high as 50 %.
According to the obtained data around 15.5% of street minors in Ukraine used the injected drugs at least once, 9.8% of boys reported anal sex experience when only 36 % of them acknowledged using condom during their most recent sexual encounter.
An access of the street minors to public health services in Ukraine is a serious problem too due to cumbersome bureaucratic protocol and negative attitude of the medical personnel to the homeless people.
Some providers of the health services may refuse to treat them or provide just a limited treatment only in life-threatening condirion.
According to some reports around 75 % of the Ukrainian street children have experienced a harassment from the police and 41 % have been harassed more than tree times in the past year.
An assessment of Ukrainian Ministry of Health indicated that there is around 115,000 of adolescents aged 10—18 who need a protection.

The Mk 47 is a candidate for replacing the Mark 19 grenade launcher, first fielded in 1968, and still in widespread service, around the world.
The Mk 47 is considerably lighter than the Mk 19, is designed to fire all the same suite of grenades as the Mk 19, together with more modern grenades the Mk 19 could not fire, like the MK285 grenade.
The MK285 contains a programmable fuse, designed by Bofors, that sets the distance at which the grenade will explode, when the weapon's trigger is pulled.
The weapon's computerized sight will have measured the distance to the target the gunner was aiming at, and that distance will be transferred to the grenade's fuse.
It also means the grenade can injure or kill soldiers who are behind walls or in trenches, through indirect fire, who could not be hurt by more conventional grenades that exploded when hitting those walls.

During the Yemeni civil war, Saudi Arabia led an Arab coalition of nine nations from the Middle East and parts of Africa in response to calls from the internationally recognized pro-Saudi president of Yemen Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi for military support after he was ousted by the Houthi movement due to economic and political grievances, and fled to Saudi Arabia.
Nations such as the United Kingdom and the United States support the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen primarily through arms sales and technical assistance.
MSF emergency coordinator Karline Kleijer called the US, France and the UK part of the Saudi-led coalition, which imposed the weapons embargo and blocked all ships from entering Yemen with supplies.
Human rights groups have criticized the countries for supplying arms, and accuse the coalition of using cluster munitions, which are banned in most countries.
On August 3, 2019, a United Nations report said the US, UK and France may be complicit in committing war crimes in Yemen by selling weapons and providing support to the Saudi-led coalition which is using the deliberate starvation of civilians as a tactic of warfare.
Anti-Houthi fighters defending Aden claimed they captured two officers in the IranianQuds Force on 11 April, who had purportedly been serving as military advisers to the Houthi militias in the city.
According to the AFP, a confidential report presented to the Security Council's Iran sanctions committee in April 2015 claimed that Iran had been shipping weapons to the Houthi rebels since between 2009 and 2013.
According to American officials, Iran discouraged Houthi rebels from taking over the Yemeni capital in late 2014, casting further doubt on claims that the rebels were fighting a proxy war on behalf of Iran.
On 26 September 2015, Saudi Arabia alleged that an Iranian fishing boat loaded with weapons, including rockets and anti-tank shells, was intercepted and seized in the Arabian Sea, southeast of the Omani Port of Salalah, by Arab coalition forces.
Anas AlHajji, an oil expert, said that such an attack is planned to damage the said pipelines as they replace the Strait of Hormuz's oil passages.
This includes aerial refueling permitting coalition aircraft more loitering time over Yemen, and permitting some coalition members to home base aircraft rather than relocate them to Saudi Arabia.
According to an Al Jazeera report, one reason for US support may be the diplomatic logic of tamping down SA's opposition to the Iranian nuclear deal by backing them.
On 30 June an HRW report stated that US-made bombs were being used in attacks indiscriminately targeting civilians and violating the laws of war.
Following American concern about civilian casualties in the Saudi-led war in Yemen, the US military involvement is mostly ineffective due to coalition's airstrikes targeting civilian and hospitals.
In 2017 the United States sent a total of $599,099,937 of foreign aid to Yemen despite being a supporter of the Saudi led military intervention.
In December 2017, the Trump administration urged restraint in the Saudi military action in Yemen, as well as in Qatar and Lebanon.
US bombs used by the coalition have killed Yemeni civilians throughout 2018, including a Lockheed Martin made bomb that struck a school bus in August, killing 51 people.

On 13 December, the US Senate voted to end US military assistance to Saudi Arabia over alleged war crimes in Yemen.
Following the 56-to-41 vote in the US Senate to invoke the War Powers Resolution and to end US military support to Saudi Arabia, the Pentagon presented a bill of $331 million to Saudis and Emiratis for US' support in the Yemen Civil War.
The US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Michael Mulroy stated that US support was limited to side-by-side coaching to mitigate civilian casualties and if the measure had passed it would do nothing to help the people of Yemen and may only increase civilian deaths.
Mulroy supported the United Nation's peace talks and he pushed the international community to come together and chart a comprehensive way ahead for Yemen.
The UK is one of the largest suppliers of arms to Saudi Arabia, and London immediately expressed strong support for the Saudi-led campaign.
In mid-September 2015, the deputy chief executive of Oxfam complained that the government even refused to reveal to Parliament the details of the 37 arms export licences it had granted for sales to Saudi Arabia since March that year.
Furthermore, the UK government has been repeatedly accused of violating domestic, EU, and international law, in particular the Arms Trade Treaty, by maintaining its flow of weapons to the Kingdom.
Despite this, it was reported in November 2015 that the UK planned a number of high-level visits to Saudi Arabia over the following three to six months with the aim of securing major arms deals.
On 2 February 2016, the International Development Select Committee finally added its call for the UK to cease exporting arms to Saudi Arabia and to end its opposition to an independent international inquiry into the way the military campaign had been conducted thus far.
In September 2016, her foreign minister, Boris Johnson, refused to block UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia, saying there remained no clear evidence of breaches of international humanitarian law by Saudi Arabia in the war in Yemen, and that it would be best for Saudi Arabia to investigate itself.
Indeed, in October 2016, Boris Johnson commended the notion of referring allegations of Russian and Russian-backed war crimes to the International Court of Justice.
The previous month, Johnson had rejected a proposal for the UN Human Rights Council to conduct an inquiry into the war in Yemen.
In October 2016, it emerged that the United Kingdom was continuing to provide instruction to pilots of the Royal Saudi Air Force, both in the UK and in Saudi Arabia.
The report also claims that British Special Forces are fighting on the same side as jihadists and militia which use child soldiers.
After the report, The shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry, questioned these allegations in the British parliament suggesting that the British forces may have been witnesses to war crimes, if the allegations were true.
She claimed that as many as 40% of the soldiers in the Saudi coalition were children, a breach of international humanitarian law.
According to the Guardian News agency, more than 40 Saudi officers have been trained at prestigious British military colleges since the Saudi intervention in Yemen started.
The MoD refused to state the earned money from the Saudi contracts, because it could influence Britain’s relations with the Saudis.
According to a Sky News analysis, The UK has sold at least £5.7bn worth of arms to the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen since 2015.
France has also supplied the UAE with arms, despite the UAE and the militias it backs being implicated in war crimes and other serious violations.
On 9 December, Australian media reported an Australian mercenary commander was killed in Yemen alongside six Colombian nationals after Houthi fighters and Saleh army units attacked Saudi-led forces in the country's south-west.
Transformativism refers to the method of making a flexible centrist coalition of government which isolated the extremes of the left and the right in Italian politics after the unification and before the rise of Benito Mussolini and Fascism.
The policy was embraced by Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour and the Historical Right upon Italian unification and carried over into the post-Risorgimento liberal state.
The aim was to ensure a stable government that would avoid weakening the institutions by extreme shifts to the left or right and ensuring calm in Italy.
At this time, middle class politicians were concerned more with making deals with one another rather than with political philosophies and principles.
The Liberals, the main political group, was tied together by informal gentleman's agreements, but these were always in matters of enriching themselves.
Actual governing did not seem to be happening at all, but limited franchise led to politicians not having to concern themselves with the interests of their constituents.
One of the most successful politicians was Giovanni Giolitti, who succeeded in becoming Prime Minister on five different occasions over twenty years.
Under his influence the Liberals did not develop as a structured party, instead being a series of informal personal groupings with no formal links to political constituencies.
This system brought almost no advantages, as illiteracy remained the same in 1912 as before the unification era, and backward economic policies combined with poor sanitary conditions continued to prevent the country's rural areas from improving.
In the 1930s, Professor Frank H. Underhill of the University of Toronto also argued that Canada's two major political parties, the Liberals and the Conservatives, had operated in similar ways, advancing the same policies appealing to the same variety of sectional/regional and class interests.
Not coincidentally, Underhill was centrally involved in the formation of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, a farmer-labour coalition born during the Great Depression which became Canada's first successful federal third party, the social democratic New Democratic Party.
She earned her PhD at Harvard University and is currently the Ibn Rushd Lecturer of Arabic at the University of Chicago.

Condução coercitiva is a compulsory method of bringing subjects of a judicial process, victims, witnesses, accused parties, or expert subjects into the presence of law enforcement or judicial authorities against their wishes.
This is a measure provided for in the Penal Code of Brazil (CPP) as a means of compelling the appearance of a person to attend an action to which he was summoned, but who failed to do so without justification.
If equated with precautionary detention, is contrary to the Brazilian Constitution of 1988 Article 5, paragraph LXI, even though the procedure is in the Penal Code of Brazil, instituted in 1941.
The CPP authorizes the enforcement of the of victims, witnesses, defendants, and experts who refuse to appear in court, and who may even be handcuffed and brought by police vehicle.
Thus, some argue that even with the justification of providing clarification to the police investigation and even in the interests of justice, the warrant without a summons violates the right to liberty of witnesses and defendants.
According to this line of thinking, the only ones who can be compelled to appear by a are those witnesses who were appropriately summoned beforehand and who fail to attend the act to which they were summoned, without valid cause, may be compelled to appear via a warrant.

He studied under his father and at the universities of Franeker, Utrecht and Leiden, also spending two years in France where he obtained an M.D.
The work enjoyed popularity, partly because of its departure from traditional botanical illustration, in that plant species were depicted against a background of classic or pastoral landscapes, often floating in midair with little regard for perspective and relative sizes.
Illustrated were trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses of temperate zones, with some tropical and subtropical plants that had been introduced to the Netherlands.

Wolfgang Friedrich Gess (also spelled Geß) (* 27 July 1819 in Kirchheim unter Teck; † 1 June 1891 in Wernigerode) was a German Lutheran theologian.
Gess entered upon his duties in April 1880 and as general superintendent of the Old Prussian, he headed the Church province of Posen until 1884.
At conception, Logos was united with the body of Jesus, instead of God creating a human soul, as he does with other men.
Controversially, Gess thinks that the humanity of Jesus required him to allow his self-consciousness to be extinguished at birth, only to begin to flash through at a certain stage of his physical maturity, and then developing with the goal of sanctification, which is achieved step by step in the choices he freely makes.

The 1928 United States presidential election in North Dakota took place on November 4, 1924, as part of the 1928 United States presidential election which was held throughout all contemporary 48 states.
North Dakota voted for the Republican nominee, Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, over the Democratic nominee, Governor of New York Al Smith.
Hoover ran with Senate Majority Leader Charles Curtis of Kansas, whilst Smith ran with Senate Minority Leader Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas.
Although Hoover carried the state, Smith – aided by La Follette’s family’s endorsement of him after La Follette died and North Dakota’s predominantly German Catholic and Lutheran culture – made a massive advance upon James M. Cox’ and John W. Davis’ performances earlier in the decade.
Whereas North Dakota had been Cox’ and Davis’ second-weakest state in 1920 and 1924, it voted 7.07 points more Democratic than the nation at-large in [1928.
In some counties that were largely Lutheran, Smith still made tremendous gains because of his opposition to Prohibition, which was repealed concurrently with this election at a statewide level in North Dakota.
This allowed Smith to be the first Democrat to carry McIntosh County – which had been the nation’s most Republican county in 1920 and where no Democrat had previously gained over 22% of the vote – Logan County, Mercer County, Morton County and Sioux County.

Susan Bond (born 1942), was a scientific officer and computer programmer for the Mathematics Division of the Royal Radar Establishment (RRE) in the United Kingdom.
She worked extensively on the ALGOL 68 programming language and the Royal Radar Establishment Automatic Computer (RREAC), an early solid-state, ICL 1907F computer.
After graduating from Bristol, Bond was interested in working in applied mathematics, although she didn't have computer training before that point.
She applied to and joined the Mathematics Division of the RRE in 1965; she was hired by British mathematician and engineer Philip Woodward.
One of her first projects was reimplementing Syntax Improving Device (SID), a compiler-compiler tool developed by Michael Foster (another RRE employee) to generate compilers for high-level programming languages.
After the International Federation for Information Processing published the specifications for the more powerful ALGOL 68 in 1968, RRE attempted to adapt it for use on the RREAC.
The team that worked on ALGOL 68-R intended for the language to become the RRE's primary programming language, which could be used for scientific programming as well as business administration tasks like payroll and taking inventory.
Bond and Woodward continued to update and publish new versions of the their guide for the RRE's later implementations of ALGOL, such as ALGOL 68RS.
Bond was promoted to Superintendent of Computing and Software Research of the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment in 1980 (the RRE merged with several other research institutions and was renamed in 1976).
As part of her role, Bond collaborated with the Open Software Foundation on the Architecture Neutral Distribution Format and on computing policy for the UK Ministry of Defense.

The bike was used in the 500cc class of grand Prix motorcycle racing from 1997 until 2001, when the company got taken over by the Malaysian automobile company Proton.
Proton renamed the bike, calling it the Proton KR3 and using it for three more seasons - from 2002 to 2004 - before replacing it with the newer Proton KR5 machine.
The origins of the KR3 lie with the strained relationship three-time 500cc champion Kenny Roberts had with the Factory Yamaha team at the time.
After Wayne Rainey became paralysed from the chest down due to a crash he sustained at the 1993 Italian Grand Prix and Yamaha's rivals Honda and Mick Doohan took multiple titles, Roberts became increasingly unhappy with Yamaha's working method in the mid 1990s.
He was constantly unhappy with the progress of their bikes and even complained many times publicly that the factory did not listen to his feedback on how to improve their motorcycles.
Because of this, he made an announcement that surprised everyone in 1996 – he was breaking away from the Factory Yamaha team - after 25 years of close collaboration - at the end of the 1996 season, working together with the Modenas company to create a new motorcycle for the newly formed Team Roberts in 1997.
The main reasons why Modenas decided to work together with Roberts was for two reasons: The company hoped that some of the technology would eventually make their way into their future models, and that participation in the 500cc would make their brand more known amongst the public.
They decided to create a unique three-cylinder, two-stroke, 500cc machine since the rules at the time gave three-cylinder machines a 10kg weight advantage over the usual four-cylinder bikes.
This was also deemed as an advantage as the racetracks during this time had more corners than long straights for the four-cylinder machines to utilize, some examples being Shah Alam and Donington Park.
Even the fueling system was ahead of its time, the team adopting electronic carburetors without float bowls which used ducted air to atomize the fuel, much like a fuel-injection system.
The result of this was an engine that produced 160 hp in the early years, and the team went on to improve the engine, producing 180 hp in 2002.
The bodywork was designed in such a way that it would wrap tightly around the frame for a smaller frontal profile.
New and small teams such as the KR team often had to use old tyres or those designed for other bikes, sometimes even both.
The team continued to underperform all throughout the year, but did better than its debut year and scored a total of 105 points with a best place finish of sixth, courtesy of Roberts Jr, finishing fourth in the constructor standings..
The KR3 was supremely fast in midcorner and there were other riders who commented that they were led into entering corners too fast behind it.
However, when the situation was reversed, the KR3 riders found themselves blocked by the slower four-cylinder machines and then outgunned at the corner exits.
His replacement came in the form of an American rookie called Mike Hale, along with three replacement drivers; José David de Gea, Mark Willis and James Whitham.

Ediel López Falcón (born 1973/1974), also known as La Muela or Metro 5, is a Mexican convicted drug lord and former high-ranking member of the Gulf Cartel, a criminal group based in Tamaulipas, Mexico.
He was the regional boss of Miguel Alemán and helped coordinate international drug trafficking shipments from South and Central America to Mexico and the U.S. His roles in the cartel were also to coordinate oil theft operations.
López Falcón rose through the ranks of the cartel after several of his bosses were arrested or killed in the 2010s.
He became the regional boss of Miguel Alemán, a city across the U.S.-Mexico border from Roma, Texas, from where he oversaw drug trafficking operations from Tamaulipas to Texas, and oil theft operations.
In 2010, the Gulf Cartel and their former paramilitary group Los Zetas broke ties, triggering high levels of gang violence across Mexico.
Several members of the Gulf Cartel were arrested or killed during this time, while others, like López Falcón, sought for safe haven and relocated to the U.S with their families.
on 7 May 2012, sometime in or around 2000 and up until February 2010, López Falcón and other members of the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas conspired with intent to distribute at least of cocaine and of marijuana into the U.S. from Colombia, Panama, Guatemala, Mexico and elsewhere.
This information was legally gathered by U.S. officials who intercepted López Falcón's phone conversations with other drug traffickers, where he discussed cocaine and marijuana shipments, procurement of firearms, and the smuggling of bulk cash.
For his drug charges, López Falcón was ordered to forfeit all money and properties derived from these drug proceeds, as well as any properties used to facilitate his operations.
If such properties could not be located, were sold or transferred to a third-party, or largely diminished in value, López Falcón was ordered to forfeit other assets to make up for the total amount of said property.
On 18 September 2015, López Falcón was arrested by U.S. authorities when walking out of a PlainsCapital Bank in Pharr, Texas.
On 25 September, an identity verification hearing was held before judge Dorina Ramos in McAllen to prove the man in question was indeed López Falcón.
The confusion arose after López Falcón was identified as Ediel López García at the moment of his arrest, which meant his name did not match the individual charged in the D.D.C indictment.
The agent present in court confirmed they had information that López Falcón was involved in trafficking several tons of narcotics into the U.S.
He said his identification was done after the Mexican Armed Forces shared a picture of him to the DEA after a clash between the military and cartel members in Nuevo Laredo.
López Falcón's attorney Arnulfo Guerra asked the agent multiple questions, including why the DEA had confused López Falcón's name with Ediel López García.
Guerra responded by questioning the agent further and saying there are several people in Matamoros and along the border who call themselves La Muela.
She asked the agent to come prepared for the hearing with evidence to present and to bring the lead agent to testify in court if he could.
On 3 February 2015, López Falcón pleaded guilty to conspiracy to smuggle cocaine and marijuana into the U.S. before the D.D.C federal judge Barbara Jacobs Rothstein.
In his guilty plea, López Falcón admitted he was a member of La Compañía (), a name that collectively referred to the co-organization of the Gulf Cartel and its former paramilitary group Los Zetas.
He said his criminal organization was responsible for smuggling many tons of cocaine and marijuana from Mexico to the U.S. and that he was directly involved in this process, as well as smuggling the cash proceeds back into Mexico.
He also confirmed Los Zetas acted as the paramilitary wing of the Gulf Cartel, and that its members were mostly ex-military members who acted as enforcers and hitmen for the cartel in their region and against rival gangsters.
On 31 July 2015, López Falcón was sentenced to 18 years in prison for conspiracy to smuggle cocaine and marijuana into the U.S.
The D.D.C also ordered him to forfeit US$15 billion; the court stated this was the total gross profits the Gulf Cartel made in drug proceeds from its smuggling centers across the U.S.-Mexico border during López Falcón's tenure.
A few years after his sentencing, Mexican officials discussed the possibility of passing a law in Mexico permitting them to formally request the U.S. government for fifty percent of the earnings seized from a Mexican national convicted in the US in order to invest that money into their law enforcement agencies.
The investigation against López Falcón and other co-conspirators was headed by the DEA's field office in Houston and the DEA Bilateral Investigation Unit.
The prosecution attorney was Adrián Rosales, who was part of the U.S. Department of Justice Criminal Division's Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section.

This site is part of the Sydney Mines Formation, which is dated to the late Moscovian stage of the Carboniferous period, 309-306 million years ago.
The two skeletons had different sizes and preserved different areas, with the larger skeleton (designated the holotype) incorporating a large portion of the rear half of the body and the smaller skeleton (designated the paratype) including a skull and only fragments of the postcranium, 1/4th the size of the larger one.
These skeletons were inferred to represent two individuals of a single new taxon based on their similar overlapping anatomy, apparent varanopid ancestry, close association, and the fact that there are no other varanopids known from Nova Scotia.
The larger specimen may have been 20 to 30 centimeters (7.9-12 inches) long from the tip of the snout to the base of the tail, and its full tail length is unknown but likely elongated.
It had thin, curved teeth on the maxilla (without a canine region) and smaller teeth on the palate, which also possessed a varanopid-like pterygoid and cultriform process.
The delicate preservation of the skeletons indicated that they likely died and were quickly buried at the same place and time.
These taphonomic qualities led the paleontologists who described them to propose that the two skeletons were denning together under the roots of a lycopod tree, with the smaller skeleton likely representing the offspring of the larger skeleton.
On the other hand, it remains a possibility that the two skeletons were not close relatives, and instead simply sheltered from a storm in the same stump.
Likewise, certain characteristics (such as reduced dentition and limb development) found to link basal varanopids with diapsids may be a consequence of juvenile specimen sampling, rather than valid phylogenetic signals.
At the Foot of the Mountain Theater (AFOM) was a Professional theater based in Minneapolis, Minnesota that created and produced works centered on women's lives.
Founded in 1974 and re-dedicated as a feminist theatre in 1977, it produced unique works on wide-ranging topics both in local productions and also through touring and performances at theater festivals.
Founded by Martha and Paul Boesing, and Jan Magrane in 1974, At the Foot of the Mountain grew out of their experiences with experimental theater including at The Open Theater in New York City and Firehouse Theater in the 1960s in Minneapolis.
Boesing's involvement in the theater ended temporarily in 1984 when she accepted an 18-month Bush Fellowship to focus on her playwriting.
The collective's tasks included the shows themselves, but also the rest of the logistics—publicity, costumes, finances; within a non-hierarchical consensus-based structure.
Funding came from a combination of ticket sales, touring, and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Regional Arts Council, the Northwest Area Foundation and the Minnesota Humanities Commission.
At the Foot of the Mountain mainly operated out of the People’s Center on the West Bank of the University of Minnesota, and produced 1–4 works each year.
At the Foot of the Mountain's topics were diverse, including prostitution, motherhood, nuclear stockpiling, the Catholic church, rape culture, U.S. involvement in Nicaragua and prison reform.
Negative responses included the Minneapolis City Council declining to pass a resolution commending the theater for its 10-year contribution to the city, and an inquiry by the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights into Minnesota State Arts Board funding of At the Foot of the Mountain, claiming the work was defamatory, and requesting that future funding be restricted.

Born January 2, 1984, in Brookline, Massachusetts, Geller is an outspoken voice on the Jewish left, an organizer and activist for the BDS movement and Palestinian human rights, and a frequent speaker against zionism, as well as antisemitism.
Despite the disproportionate amount of attention white Jews get for speaking out against Israel, Geller has consistently emphasized the need to center Palestinians in the struggle for their own liberation.
Geller’s activism often employs non-traditional tactics, drawing on performance art, erudite references and irony to provoke social discomfort without expressing an explicit political agenda.
Most famously, Geller is the founder of #renoirsucksatpainting, a tongue-in-cheek social movement to remove the paintings of Auguste Renoir from museums around the world.
At sixteen, Geller was arrested for burning an American Flag on the 4th of July and draping the charred remains over the liberty bell at town hall in Brookline.. For his senior capstone project at his small arts high school, Geller learned Aikido, and demonstrated his mastery by fighting his mother.
The performance put on by Geller’s troupe, filled with outrageous claims, false hysterics, and demands for justice, mocks both reality television and the criminal justice system.
Geller showed up dressed in Klansman robes and joined Brother Jed’s rally, thus aligning Jed’s crusade with the overt white supremacy associated with the KKK.
In 2007, while traveling the world, Geller arrived in Palestine, where the struggle of the Palestinians for their own liberation, and Israel’s violent response, left an indelible mark on him.
He returned to Palestine several times over the course of the next few years, and later continued his activism back in the USA, where he has been an active member of many groups organizing on behalf of Palestinian liberation, such as NSJP, IJAN, USCPR, and others, and has been a frequent contributor to a variety of conferences and journals.
After being turned away at the border, Geller and his cohort scaled the walls of the Pyramid of Giza and flew an enormous Palestinian flag from halfway up.
The image became an iconic representation of the attempts to break the blockade and was featured in newspapers throughout the Arab world.
While Geller was a student at North Eastern Law School, he became president of the local chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, where he staged a series of interventions to bring awareness to the cause.
Geller immediately took the case to the national media gaining widespread attention for the incident, defending the incident in an op-ed in the Boston Globe and an appearance on Democracy Now.
In 2017, Geller was instrumental in the New Orleans Palestinian Solidarity Committee's successful lobbying of the City Council to pass a Boycott Divestment and Sanctions bill in solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
In addition to Geller’s history as a political provocateur, he has also used his knack for creating viral ideas and images to mount ambiguous, seemingly frivolous interventions in the art and music world.
In February of 2015 Geller created the instagram @Renoir_sucks_at_painting, and began posting images of Renoir paintings and captioning them with a combination of sardonic wit and vitriol.
Soon after, the account began to go viral, attracting the attention of reddit streams, content aggregators, art critics, and Renoir’s own descendants.
); for-profit healthcare; and, yes, the exaltation of your great grand pappy, Baron Von Treacle himself, #Renoir--have all been unleashed upon us by the free market.” Through this exchange, the account began to gain significant media attention.
On October 5, 2015, at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Geller organized the first of what would become many major anti-Renoir protests.
When the protest garnered criticism in the Boston Globe by Sebastian Smee, a Pulitzer prize-winning art critic, Geller responded by publicly challenging Smee to a duel.
The feud quickly gained national attention, and along with a second protest at the Metropolitan Museum of New York a week later, helped skyrocket the movement to headlines across the globe.
After a protest at the Art Institute of Chicago, Geller was a guest on a local news station there, where he once again expanded the focus of his movement from Renoir’s paintings themselves to the misogyny and white supremacy of the canon at large.
Many in the media began to realize the Renoir Sucks movement was part of the growing ouvre of protests and performance art from Geller.
While the movement reached its apex in the fall of 2015, it has continued to spawn mini-protests all over the world, including at the White House where President Trump is an admirer of Renoir.

Ownership varies by expressway, they are financed, developed, owned and operated by either state-owned or private companies on behalf of the Ministry of Transport.
The companies exploiting the expressways have to report traffic numbers and toll revenue to the Ministry of Transport and the Directorate for Roads of Vietnam.
This construction has been subject of fraud investigations several times, as toll revenue was falsified by the collecting companies in order to take advantage of the difference.
The government has also threatened operating companies to revoke their toll collection licence after lack of maintenance caused dangerous situations on several expressways.
In 2019 it was reported that the Vietnam Expressway Corporation was $3.7 billion USD in debt, and earning $137 million in revenue each year.

It is a parasite of fishes and is native to the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
It has a number of annulations, which do not correspond to its internal segmentation, and is one of the largest sea leeches, with a length of up to long when at rest, and double that length when stretched.
The anterior end has a sucker with which it feeds, and the posterior end bears another sucker with which it adheres to its host.
The skin is rough and covered with small warts; the colour varies, juveniles are usually black or dark green with small speckles, while adults are pale grey, tan or olive-green.
Native to the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, the species ranges from the Arctic, the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, to the Mediterranean Sea.
It has also been reported from the United States, Canada, Namibia and Pakistan, but some of these records may be due to misidentification.
It is found attached to the gills, the abdomen and the bases of the fins of the host where it feeds by sucking blood.
It is quiescent during the day, holding itself motionless and partially coiled, attached by its posterior sucker, but becomes active at night, when it feeds.
These are attached to empty bivalve or gastropod shells on the seabed and are pale at first but darken with age.
When it is nearly long and ready to hatch, a pair of small, rounded protuberances at the side of the sphere fall off allowing the juvenile leech to emerge, and search for a suitable host fish.
Penshaw Bridge, also known as Fatfield Bridge, is a road traffic bridge spanning the River Wear in North East England, linking Penshaw with Fatfield.
It refers to an elite fellowship of people in Classical Weimar (1772-1805), that was made up of nobles and commoners, courtiers, civil servants, writers, artists and scientists, who congregated around the central character, Duchess Anna Amalia of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, pioneer of Weimar Classicism and patroness of the arts.
Duchess Anna Amalia was the mother and from 1758 until 1775 regent for the infant Grand Duke Karl August von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach.
Modern revisions predominantly present sober conclusions and largely disagree with 19th century claims of a society in progress as a result of the utilization of the guiding principles of the Enlightenment and the cultivation of the genius.
The painting depicts a rather fictional, ideally arranged scene around 1794/95: An illustrious party, that consists of noble menbers of the court and commoners alike (scholars, artists and scientists), has gathered, regardless to class etiquette and formalities, in and around the Tiefurt Muse temple (which was only built in 1803), while listening to Friedrich Schiller's deliberations.
In the creation of a cultivated and witty conviviality, the Duchess was assisted by poet and philosopher Christoph Martin Wieland, who had joined the court as the teacher of the two princes in 1772.
Not until the late 20th century had this idea of a Weimar courtyard of the muses been contested and dismissed as pseudoscientific 19th century legend formation and romanticism.
Contemporary sources of the Classical Weimar court never referred to a courtyard of the muses and Duchess Anna Amalia is not known to have at any time discontinued standard court ceremony or contested common class regulations.
Her role as pioneer of Weimar Classicism has been challenged by author J. Berger, as he points out that the duchess has given the primacy of the arts not to literature but to music.
Berger also exhorts, that she does not qualify as a true patroness of the arts because she refused unconditional promotion of free artists, but treated them as civil servants who were obliged to perform certain tasks.
However, according to author J. H. Ulbricht, all these scientific disenchantments have failed to notably penetrate the communicative and cultural memory of the public.
Already in 1807, shortly after her burial, Goethe sought the opportunity to advertize Weimar's cultural prowess via the Duchess' obituary, that he published in a series of journals.

Events of 5689 Anno Mundi) refers to a series of demonstrations and riots in late August 1929 when a long-running dispute between Muslims and Jews over access to the Western Wall in Jerusalem escalated into violence.
The riots took the form, in the most part, of attacks by Arabs on Jews accompanied by destruction of Jewish property.
On the first day of the riots, the British government had enlisted and armed 41 Jewish special constables, 18 Jewish ex-soldiers and a further 60 Jews were issued staves.
The Western Wall is one of the holiest of Jewish sites, considered by Jews to be a remnant of the ancient Second Temple compound destroyed in 70 CE.
The Jews, through the practice of centuries, had established a right of access to the Wailing Wall for the purposes of their devotions.
Muslims consider the wall to be part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam, and according to Islamic tradition the place where Muhammad tied his horse, Buraq, before his night journey to heaven.
As a result of an incident, which occurred in September 1925, a ruling was made which forbade the Jews to bring seats and benches to the Wall even though these were intended for worshippers who were aged and infirm.
In September 1928, Jews praying at the Wall on Yom Kippur placed chairs and a mechitza that looked like a simple room divider of cloth covering a few wooden frames to separate the men and women.
Jerusalem's British commissioner Edward Keith-Roach, while visiting a Muslim religious court building overlooking the prayer area, mentioned to a constable that he had never seen it at the wall before, although the constable had seen it earlier that day and had not given it any attention.
The sheikhs disclaimed responsibility for what could happen if the screen was not taken down, and Keith-Roach told the Ashkenazic beadle to remove the screen because of the Arabs' demands.
While the commissioner was visiting a synagogue, Attorney General Norman Bentwich had his request to keep the screen until after the fast rejected by the commissioner, who ordered the constable to ensure it was removed by morning.
The constable feared the screen meant trouble, and had the commissioners order signed and officially stamped, speaking again with the beadle that evening.
The policemen charged the small group near the screen and were urged by nearby Arab residents to attack the assembled Jews.
The constable had infuriated his superiors due to his use of excessive force without good judgement, but the British government later issued a statement defending his actions.
Although screens had been set up temporarily at the site before, and other prohibitions were ignored or relaxed at times, the violent confrontation over the latest screen would engender further violence.
The internal politics of both sides were also willing to adopt extreme positions and make use of religious symbols to whip up popular support.
Zionist literature published throughout the world used the imagery of a domed structure on the Temple Mount to symbolize their national aspirations.
A Zionist flag was depicted atop of a building very reminiscent of the Dome of the Rock in one publication, which was later picked up and redistributed by Arab propagandists.
Haj Amin al Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem distributed leaflets to Arabs in Palestine and throughout the Arab world which claimed that the Jews were planning to take over the al-Aqsa Mosque.
A muezzin was appointed to perform the Islamic call to prayer directly next to the Wall, creating noise exactly when the Jews were conducting their prayers.
Zionists began making demands for control over the wall; some went as far as to call openly for the rebuilding of the Temple, increasing Muslim fears over Zionist intentions.
On 14 August the Haganah and Brit Trumpeldor held a meeting in Tel Aviv attended by 6,000 people objecting to 1928 Commission's conclusion that the Wall was Muslim property.
The Acting High Commissioner summoned Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini and informed him that he had never heard of such a demonstration being held at the Wailing Wall, and that it would be a terrible shock to the Jews who regarded the Wall as a place of special sanctity to them.
At the Wall, the crowd burnt prayer books, liturgical fixtures and notes of supplication left in the Wall's cracks, and the beadle was injured.
A Jewish crowd attacked and severely wounded the policeman who arrived to arrest the Arab responsible, and then attacked and burned neighbouring Arab tents and shacks erected by Lifta residents and wounded their occupants; the wounded included an Arab youth named 'Ali 'Abdallah Hasan who was chosen at random to be stabbed in retaliation.
A late-night meeting initiated the following day by the Jewish leadership, at which acting high commissioner Harry Luke, Jamal al-Husayni, and Yitzhak Ben-Zvi were present, failed to produce a call for an end to the violence.
Over the following four days period, the Jerusalem police reported 12 separate attacks by Jews on Arabs and seven attacks by Arabs on Jews.
The next Friday, 23 August, thousands of Arab villagers streamed into Jerusalem from the surrounding countryside to pray at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, many armed with sticks and knives.
The gathering was prompted by rumors that the Zionists were going to march to the Temple Mount and claim ownership, as they had belligerently marched on the Western Wall demanding Jewish ownership 9 days earlier.
Towards 09:30 Jewish storekeepers began closing shop and at 11:00, 20–30 gunshots were heard on the Temple Mount, apparently to work up the crowd.
Luke telephoned the Mufti to come and calm a mob that had gathered under his window near the Damascus Gate, but the commissioner's impression was that the religious leader's presence was having the opposite effect.
The Shaw report described the excited Arab crowds and that it was clear beyond all doubt that at 12:50 large sections of these crowds were bent on mischief if not on murder.
Reacting to rumors that two Arabs had been murdered by Jews, Arabs started an attack on Jews in Jerusalem's Old City.
British authorities had fewer than 100 soldiers, six armoured cars, and five or six aircraft in country; Palestine Police had 1,500 men, but the majority were Arab, with a small number of Jews and 175 British officers.
While awaiting reinforcements, many untrained administration officials were required to attach themselves to the police, though the Jews among them were sent back to their offices.
They reasoned that if they had shot into the Arab crowd, the mob would have turned their anger on the police.
Yemin Moshe was one of the few Jewish neighbourhoods to return fire, but most of Jerusalem's Jews did not defend themselves.
At the outbreak of the violence and again in the following days, Yitzhak Ben-Zvi demanded that weapons be handed to the Jews, but was both times refused.
There were many isolated attacks on Jewish villages, and in six cases, villages were entirely destroyed, accompanied by looting and burning.
In Haifa and Jaffa, the situation deteriorated and a police officer succeeded in warding off an attack on the quarter between Jaffa and Tel Aviv by firing on an Arab crowd.
The administrative director of Haddasah hospital in Jerusalem sent a cable to New York describing the casualties and that Arabs were attacking several Jewish hospitals.
These attacks were in most cases in retaliation for wrongs already committed by Arabs in the neighbourhood in which the Jewish attacks occurred.
A Police officer opened fire on an Arab crowd and succeeded in beating off an attack on the quarter which lies between Jaffa and Tel Aviv.
The worst instance of a Jewish attack on Arabs occurred in this quarter, where the Imam of a mosque and six other persons were killed.
According to the Shaw Report, the disturbances were not premeditated and did not occur simultaneously but spread from Jerusalem through a period of days to most outlying centres of population.
Later on 23 August, the British authorities armed 41 Jewish special constables, 18 Jewish ex-soldiers and a further 60 Jews were issued staves, to assist in the defense of Jewish quarters in Jerusalem.
The Mufti of Jerusalem stated that there was a large crowd of excited Arabs in the Haram area who were also demanding arms, and that the excited crowd in the Haram area took the view that the retention of Jews as special constables carrying arms was a breach of faith by the Government.
On 20 August, Haganah leaders proposed to provide defence for 600 Jews of the Old Yishuv in Hebron, or to help them evacuate.
On 24 August 1929 in Hebron, Arab mobs attacked the Jewish quarter killing and raping men, women and children and looting Jewish property.
Hundreds of Jews were saved by their more benevolent Arab neighbours, who offered them sanctuary from the mob by hiding them in their own houses while others survived by taking refuge in the British police station at Beit Ramon on the outskirts of the city.
The student was grabbed by the Arab crowd, who stabbed him to death; the sexton survived by hiding in a well.
The next day, a crowd armed with staves and axes attacked and killed two Jewish boys, one stoned to death and the other stabbed.
More than 70 Jews, including the Yeshiva students, sought refuge in the house of Eliezer Dan Slonim, the son of the Rabbi of Hebron, but were massacred by an Arab mob.
The kibbutz of Mishmar HaEmek was attacked on 26 August by an Arab mob, which was dispersed by the locals and British police.
An eyewitness describing the pogrom that took place in Safed, perpetrated by Arabs from Safed and local villages, armed with weapons and kerosene tins.
A schoolteacher, wife, and mother and a lawyer, were cut to pieces with knives and the attackers entered an orphanage and smashed children's heads and cut off their hands.
The British police had to open fire to prevent outrages in Nablus and Jaffa, and a police officer succeeded in warding off an attack on the quarter between Jaffa and Tel Aviv by firing on an Arab crowd.
According to the Shaw Report, during the week of riots from 23 to 29 August 116 Arabs and 133 Jews were killed and 232 Arabs and 198 Jews were injured and treated in hospital.
Many of the 116 reported Arab deaths were as a result of police and military activities, although around 20 of the Arabs killed were not involved in attacks on Jews and were killed as a result of lynchings and revenge attacks by Jews or by indiscriminate gunfire by the British authorities.
According to the Attorney-General of Palestine, Norman Bentwich, the following numbers of persons were charged, with the numbers convicted in parentheses.
The Jewish policeman Simchas Hinkis was convicted for the murder of five and wounding of two when a mob broke into a house between Tel Aviv and Jaffa to avenge the murder of six Jews.
Joseph Urphali was convicted by two separate trials, and lost his appeal twice, for the shooting of two Arabs from the roof of his Jaffa house.
Some of the Arab convictions were overturned on appeal and all the remaining death sentences were commuted to terms of imprisonment by the High Commissioner except in the case of three Arabs.
A few dozen Jewish families returned to Hebron in 1931 to reestablish the community, but all but one family were evacuated from Hebron at the outset of the 1936–39 Arab revolt in Palestine.
Although he was satisfied that the Mufti was not directly responsible for the violence or had connived at it, he believed the Mufti was aware of the nature of the anti-Zionist campaign and the danger of disturbances.
The commission was headed by Sir John Hope Simpson, and on 21 October 1930 it produced its report, dated 1 October 1930.
Some sources claim al-Husseini actually incited the riots, some claim al-Husseini took advantage of the crisis for the advancement of his own goals, and some claim al-Husseini called for restraint.

Shindo was written by Tow Ubukata, Makoto Fukami and Ryo Yoshigami, all of whom wanted Shindo and Ignatov to be close friends despite their differences.
Shindo's characterization caused the development team difficulties because he was intended to be portrayed as a likable character due to his importance as a highly skilled detective.
He was voiced by Yūki Kaji, who enjoyed the work due to the character's actions and relationships explored in the narrative.
Despite him not being written by the series' first writer, Gen Urobuchi, he fit well within the cast thanks to his mental skills and further characterization.
During the making of the series, director Naoyoshi Shiotani entrusted the writers Tow Ubukata, Makoto Fukami and Ryo Yoshigami with handling a new cast.
And while Shindo's cheerfulness may strike one as naïve compared to Ignatov's stoic nature, he is discovered to be a keen sleuth as the series unfolds.
Ubukata insisted that Shindo and Ignatov be written by Fukami, who said early in the making of the series that Ubakata did not like Shindo.
Fukami also found Shindo a difficult character to write because of his aura of mystery and use of trickery to obtain results.
Kaji enjoyed the character's relationship with Ignatov due to their close relationship and Shindo's style of interacting with the characters from previous seasons.
Kaji laughed when first reading the script because he found the cast unique and looked forward to the characters' growth during the series.
Nakamura had no clear understanding of Shindo and Ignatov because their pasts are not explored in the early episodes and he looked forward to the development of the series.
Shindo is an Inspector who investigates crime scenes and pursues individuals with high Crime Coefficient readings and wields a hand-held weapon called a Dominator that is capable of stunning or destroying a target depending upon Sibyl's decision.
His use of this skill puts him at physical risk and causes him to hallucinate the image of a man with the head of a fox.
They have a strong bond and were the victims of a case that claimed the lives of Shindo's father and Ignatov's brother.
Ninotaku found him to be a well-developed character because he fits with the other characters created by Gen Urobuchi, especially Akane Tsunemori.
Sequential Planet said the use of new protagonists was a risky movement for the franchise due to the popularity of Kogami and Tsunemori.
Nevertheless, the site further stated that both Shindo and Ignatov are likeable characters, enjoying the former more for his cheerful personality, which contrasts with the series' dark narrative.
TheCinemaHolic wondered about Shindo's mentalist skills, saying although it might appear to be less realistic than the deductive skills employed by previous protagonists, it had the potential to be executed in a positive fashion in later episodes.
Due to his portrayal, Shindo was compared to Steven Moffat's and Mark Gatiss's portrayals of Sherlock Holmes in the 2010's television series.
Shindo was also praised by Anime News Network for the way his mentalist skills added a new element to investigations and the air of mystery it gave to the new series.
The same site noted that as more information about the two lead characters was revealed, the more their fate became chaotic, citing Shindo's hallucinations and the hidden aspects of his father's death.
The focus given to Shindo and Ignatov in the finale also earned positive responses for the uncertainty created regarding whether or not they would betray their values.
TheCinemaHolic stated that Shindo's Mental Trace added depth to his character though he might come across as ambiguous when analyzed and that he, too, underwent a notable character arc, becoming more mature with potential for further development.
In a further analysis of the finale's narrative, the site agreed with Anime News Network regarding the handling of the duo in saying Ignatov was the more explored character of the pair because of the likely outcome of his final decision and its effect on his colleagues, especially Shindo.
State elections were held in the Soviet occupation zone of Germany on 20 October 1946 to elect the state legislatures of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia.
They were the only elections held in the future territory of East Germany before the establishment of the German Democratic Republic in 1949.
The Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED), which was formed by the forced merger of the Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party in the Soviet occupation zone, became the strongest party, but only achieved an absolute majority in one state.
The SED was created in view of the holding of elections in the Soviet zone, as a first step for future political reforms.
In addition to the SED, three other parties participated; the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Peasants Mutual Aid Association (VdgB).
The SED results were disappointing for the Soviet authorities and contributed decisively to the modification of the right to vote in the Soviet occupation zone in the following years.

Zephaniah Swift Spalding (September 2, 1837– June 19, 1927) was a veteran of the American Civil War, who was first sent to Hawaii on a clandestine mission for US Secretary of State .
Two years after son Zephaniah's birth, Rufus entered politics, as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, and later as a member of the US House of Representatives.
During the reign of Kamehameha V, debates heated up in both Honolulu and Washington D. C. over a proposed sugar tariff reciprocity treaty between the United States and the Kingdom of Hawaii, versus outright American annexation of the island nation.
Secretary of State enlisted Spalding in an 1867 clandestine mission to Hawaii as a go-between observer accompanying United States Ambassador to Hawaii Edward M. McCook.
Spalding would later testify that Seward's verbal directives were to gather intelligence on the kingdom's perspectives of Hawaii's ties to America, but was unwilling to put his directives in writing.
Following the defeat of a proposed reciprocity treaty in the United States Congress, Spalding was named the United States Consul to Hawaii for twelve months during 1868–1869.
As the 1883 renewal, or termination, of the reciprocity treaty neared, the previously independent planters saw it in their best interests to organize.
The Makee Company was sold in 1916 for an undisclosed sum, but speculators at the time believed the sale price was in the area of $2,000,000 ().
Several individuals over the decades put forth proposals to lay a telegraph cable from San Francisco to each of the Hawaiian islands.
The Republic of Hawaii contracted with Spalding in 1895, allotting a modest annual subsidy for the project, with a stipulation of a completion deadline.
Additional funding was needed from the US government, but Congress failed to act on Spalding's request, and the terms of the contract could not be met.
It was not until 1900 that the US Senate allocated money for a cable, which was laid by the Commercial Pacific Company in 1902.

Toxic changes is a term collectively given to the changes that neutrophils might show in a peripheral blood smear in response to inflammatory conditions.
It was originally founded in 1793 in the nearby Château de Meudon and has played an important role in the development of French aviation.
The story of aviation at Chalais-Meudon starts in October 1793 when the French Public Safety Committee ordered the construction of an observation balloon capable of carrying two observers.
The old royal grounds at Meudon were allocated for this work, with the Château de Meudon chosen as the centre, with Nicolas-Jacques Conté as director.
Two French Balloon Corps balloon companies had already been created, and the new organisation's role was to build balloons and train their pilots and operators.
Léon Gambetta, the Minister for War, who had himself escaped from Paris by balloon, created a commission of air communications, and Colonel Charles Renard was put in charge of military ballooning.
It was named Hangar Y (all buildings at the site were allocated a letter) and the building nearest to it, which was used for the production of hydrogen, was named Building Z. Hangar Y has dimensions of: length , width , height .
Balloon parks were created, with steam winches used to move the balloons, and most of the components were built on site, including wicker baskets and hydrogen generators.
Hangar Y was at first used for balloons, but Renard soon started work on airships, which the building could also accommodate.
Taking off from outside Hangar Y, it flew over Villacoublay before returning and landing safely at its takeoff point, a flight of about taking 23 minutes.
It was propelled by an electric motor, but the batteries were so heavy that even the designers recognised that it was, at the time, a dead end, and after a further six successful flights, its development was abandoned.
The army found that airships were becoming decreasingly useful during WWI, and on 1 January 1918 all airships were transferred to the navy.
Construction and delivery of the CM series for the navy was completed, but CM.6 to CM.8 had also been ordered, but were not built.
Émile Dorand was a balloonist and engineer, who had been at Chalais-Meudon since 1907 and was appointed head of the Military Aeronautical Laboratory.
After that closed, he was appointed as the first director of the Service Technique de l'Aéronautique (STAé) on 28 February 1916.
While these showed some promise, and kites were being used by the army, the concepts were being overtaken by other ideas, so the interest in kites only lasted from around 1908 to 1916, by when all kite equipment had been returned to Chalais-Meudon, never to be used again.
One of the earliest experiments with aeroplanes at Chalais-Meudon was conducted by Victor Tatin who in 1879 developed a model monoplane, with a wing span of , powered by a compressed air engine.
Tied to a central pole in a circular track it took off and flew for about entirely under its own power - the first model aeroplane ever to do so.
At the end of WWI the STAé itself moved to the Issy-les-Moulineaux, about to the north-east of Chalais-Meudon, taking some of the research activities with it, but retaining some activities at Chalais-Meudon.
Its activities continued between the wars, but with only a small flying field available much of the aircraft testing was moved to the nearby Villacoublay airfield about to the south-west, and the rest of the aircraft testing, and some other research activities went to Issy.
During the occupation of World War II, German researchers used the facilities, including the Great Wind Tunnel, for testing their own aircraft and interesting captured French designs such as the Payen PA-22.
It was designed by Antonin Lapresle, who was a colleague of Gustave Eiffel who had built two wind tunnels with great success in Paris in 1909 and 1912.
In 1919, Albert Caquot proposed the setting up of an aeronautical museum, and items were collected at Issy-les-Moulineaux and at Chalais-Meudon, with many items preserved from the balloon, engine and aviation activities that had taken place at those locations.
With the building of the Charles de Gaulle Airport at Roissy, Le Bourget Airport had an increasing amount of space available, and the collection was gradually moved there.
Some maintenance has taken place, and there are plans for it to be restored to become the European Centre for Balloons and Airships and a cultural and education centre.

He was the son of the auxiliary infantry field master of the Bragança garrison, Lazarus Pinto de Morais Bacelar, and a descendant of the former masters of the Bacelar Tower.
In 1756 he enlisted in the Cavalry Regiment of Chaves, and at the time of the War of 1762 raised at his expense a cavalry company, for which he obtained by decree of 19 June the rank of Captain.
With the regiment took he part in the military operations marching to the province of Minho, which was then threatened by the sides of Valencia, and later, at the proposal of Brigadier Smith.
Promoted to the effectiveness of this post in July 1782, he rose to Lieutenant-Colonel in March 1789, and finally to Colonel in November 1796 with the command of the regiment in which he had always served.
In the failed enterprise that during the war of 1801 Field Marshal Gomes Freire de Andrade undertook with the troops of the command of Lieutenant-General D. Manuel José Lobo against Monte Rei he covered Manuel Pinto Bacelar with great bravery and arranged the withdrawal of our troops contributing powerfully to save the forces engaged in that commission, and to maintain the credit and honor of our weapons.
When the war was over, he was promoted to brigadier, always at the head of the regiment, until it was re-melted with the denomination of 6th Cavalry Regiment.
Although removed from active service, when in 1807 he planned to resist the French invasion, Brigadier Bacelar offered to obey the orders of Lieutenant General Sepúlveda, accepting the command of a planned line of defense of the northern provinces that the government had ordered.
However, all these preparations for the fight were ordered to be suspended, and Napoleon's troops were able to enter Portugal without finding anyone to take their step.
Returning to the house of Vilar de Ossos there, he was retired until, summoned by the patriotic voice of Sepulveda in June 1808, he was appointed acting interim commander of the Douro district troops, an appointment confirmed by the government board established in Porto.
In the performance of these duties he patented all the skill and energy he was endowed with, actively taking care of reorganizing the provincial troops, especially the cavalry, until, when the revolution against the French was broken in Viseu, he was the Brigadier in charge of the interim government.

After being summoned to Lisbon with the other generals to report to the government, he was promoted to field marshal, and shortly thereafter sent to Porto to assist General Bernardim Freire in the important commissions he was assigned.
At the end of 1808 he was mandated to take command of the observation body for the provinces of Beira and Trás-os-Montes, with which he marched to the city of Guarda and went to occupy the positions between that city and that of Castelo Branco, from where he succeeded.
to circumvent the attempts of French general Lapisse, who sought to enter Beira Baixa, while Soult invaded Portugal from the north.
In the operations of Wellington to recover the city of Porto, Bacelar was in charge of several movements in the right of the Anglo-Portuguese army, and having, according to the instructions he had received, passed the Douro in Régua, directed himself over Mesão Frio, and was sent from there.
After the French were expelled, General Bacelar returned to his command of Beira, and having been promoted to lieutenant general, in Viseu he remained until, in June 1810, being given the superior command of the corps of the Militias of the three northern provinces and Porto party, went to establish their headquarters in Lamego.
The services he then performed and our general received a letter of praise from Marshal Wellington, which was published in the Order of the Day, and later the title of Viscount Monte Alegre, which the sovereign gave him on December 17.
In the following year, he took part in military operations, when Marmont and Brenier devastated some of our lands near the border, and thereafter continued quietly in charge of him until he died in Viseu.
Bacelar married on the 16 July 1776 to D. Joana Delfina Vanzeler Teixeira de Andrade Pinto, daughter of Pedro Francisco Vanzeler, colonel of dragons and governor of S. Noutel Fort in Chaves, and his wife, D. Maria Josefa Barbosa Silva Silva Teixeira Andrade Pinto.

While the company was based in Hulst in the Netherlands, the founder Danny G. Vandezande (hence the car's name) was a Belgian, the cars mechanics were American, and the vehicle was built in England.
GP Metalcraft had been exclusively a supplier of Formula 1 aluminium body parts but expanded to making bodywork for Cobras and other replicas after the fuel crisis placed the future of motor sports in doubt.
Vandezande felt that only such a small British firm would be able of executing the bodywork to a high enough standard for the Desande, although he had to switch after the original company proved not to have the necessary expertise.
Engine specifications varied as the General Motors donor cars were changed; in a 1982 road test Desande claimed DIN at 3400 rpm.

Known for his pace across the sand and technical abilities in scoring many goals, Ott came to prominence in the sport in 2014, excelling during the European season; he was named best young player in the world that year.
Ott's father, a former amateur of the Swiss third division, inspired him to play association football as a child at six years old.
Ott joined Swiss Super League side Grasshoppers as a youth in 2007 and advanced through their junior teams from the under-13s onwards.
He was originally tutored by Stephan Meir and Moritz Jaggy, members of the Swiss national team Ott would ultimately play alongside of.
Following this rejection, Franziska Steinemann, future coach of the Switzerland women’s team and a friend of Ott's mother, invited him to play with club side Havana Shots Aargau of the Suzuki Swiss National Beach Soccer League.
Initially, Ott attempted to continue his football career, joining FC Baden of the Swiss fourth tier for a year whilst also playing for Havana Shots; he made rapid progress with the latter.
Following his performances in the National League, Ott was called up to the Swiss national team and, aged 18, made his debut against Brazil in the 2012 Intercontinental Cup in November.
But, after winning the MVP award at the 2014 Euro Beach Soccer League Superfinal in August, Ott suffered a serious injury at the 2015 World Cup qualifiers a month later, tearing two knee ligaments, his anterior cruciate (ACL) and medial collateral (MCL), as well as tearing his meniscus.
He recovered in time for the 2015 World Cup, his first World Cup, in which he was joint top scorer with eight goals, claiming the Bronze Ball award.
In 2015, he also moved from Havana Shots back to his childhood club of Grasshoppers, this time their beach soccer branch, having been persuaded by Swiss colleague Dejan Stankovic.
Ott represented FC Barcelona in 2015; Ott began to find that he was frequently being compared to football star Lionel Messi, with both having played for Barcelona, being small in stature, technically agile, frequent goalscorers and wearers of the number 10 jersey.
He has since gone on to play for other clubs outside of Switzerland including Catania (Italy), Pisa (Italy), Lokomotiv Moscow (Russia), CSKA Moscow (Russia), Botofogo (Brazil), Sporting CP (Portugal), Artur Music (Ukraine) and Falfala Kfar Qassem (Israel).
In 2019, he won the Swiss National League for the first time with Grasshoppers and earned his first commendation with the Swiss national team, the bronze medal at the 2019 European Games.
His pace is also frequently referenced as his strength, with an ability to glide quickly across the pitch without his feet sinking into the soft sand surface.
In 2015 he was working as an office administrator in Zürich and would subsequently drive to Basel to train with the national team.
His employer of the time fired Ott in 2017 as they were unwilling to accommodate Ott's need to dedicate so much time to beach soccer.
Within beach soccer, he looks up to Portuguese brothers Leo and Be Martins but says the most important people in his career have been Swiss coach Angelo Schirinzi and teammate Dejan Stankovic.

Arjen Hoekstra (June 28, 1967 - November 18, 2019) was a professor at the University of Twente who pioneered the concept of the water footprint - a way of measuring the extent of water consumption.
His work drew attention to the hidden water use associated with a range of activities, and continues to have a profound effect both on scholarship and on environmental policy and activism.
At the University of Twente, Arjen Hoekstra was Professor of Water Management and Chair of the Department of Multidisciplinary Water Management.
He worked on a variety of interdisciplinary research projects, and advised a range of organisations about water consumption, these included governments, UNESCO, the World Bank, and Compassion in World Farming.
Throughout his career, Hoekstra's work gained international media attention and he was consistently referred to as an expert on the topic of water resource issues.
The water footprint of an individual, community or business is defined as the total volume of fresh water used to produce the goods and services consumed by the individual or community or produced by the business.
A water footprint can be calculated for any well-defined group of consumers (e.g., an individual, family, village, city, province, state or nation) or producers (e.g., a public organization, private enterprise or economic sector), for a single process (such as growing rice) or for any product or service.
Traditionally, water use has been approached from the production side, by quantifying the following three columns of water use: water withdrawals in the agricultural, industrial, and domestic sector.
While this does provide valuable data, it is a limited way of looking at water use in a globalised world, in which products are not always consumed in their country of origin.
In 2002, the water footprint concept was introduced in order to have a consumption-based indicator of water use, that could provide useful information in addition to the traditional production-sector-based indicators of water use.
The water footprint is a geographically explicit indicator, not only showing volumes of water use and pollution, but also the locations.
Thus, it gives a grasp on how economic choices and processes influence the availability of adequate water resources and other ecological realities across the globe (and vice versa).

Land defenders are primarily members of Indigenous communities in North America and are not considered to be protesters, but performing a sacred duty through non-violent resistance to activities which endanger the land.
Land is considered sacred by Indigenous peoples and caring for and protecting land is considered a duty to honour ancestors, to current peoples, and future generations.
Land defenders play an active and increasingly visible role in actions intended to protect, honour, and make visible the importance of land.
Land defenders resist the installation of pipelines, fossil fuel industries, destruction of territory for development such as agriculture and resource extraction activities such as fracking because these actions can lead to the degredation of land, destruction of forest, and disruption of habitat.
Activism can come in the form of the erection of blockades on reserve lands or traditional territories to block corporations from resource extraction activities.
Land defenders often face perilous conditions in the face of state powers, resource corporations such as gas or mining corporations, others seeking to develop land or extinguish Indigenous land rights.
For example, it was revealed that the Canadian national police force, the RCMP, were prepared to use deadly force against land defenders in a 2019 protest in British Columbia.
The human rights organization Global Witness reported that 164 land defenders were killed in 2018 in countries such as the Philippines, Brazil, India, and Guatemala.
The UN has reported that many land protectors are labelled as terrorists by state governments in an effort to discredit their claims.
Amnesty International has called attention to the dangers facing those seeking to protect the earth, water, and communities, calling Latin America the most dangerous location for land defenders.
The Environmental Defence Fund has reported that over 1700 defenders have been killed with less than 10% of those responsible brought to justice.
The Extinction Rebellion (XR) has worked to bring attention to the situation of land defenders and have honoured those who have been killed.
She has a degree in biochemistry and biophysics from Harvard University and a PhD in cell biology and neuroscience from Yale University.
Other positions that she has held include chief executive of Macmillan Science and Education, as well as leadership roles at Clarivate Analytics' Web of Science citation and abstract search database.
The Breviary of Eleanor of Portugal is an early 16th-century Flemish illuminated manuscript Breviary, providing the divine office according to the Roman ordinal and calendar.
The breviary belonged originally to Eleanor, Queen of Portugal, who is depicted in prayer before the Virgin and Child in the opening miniature; it is not known, however, whether it was commissioned by the Queen herself, or whether it was a gift to her, (perhaps through the Netherlandish Hapsburg court, by Emperor Maximilian I or Margaret of Austria).
It was purchased by J. P. Morgan from the Parisian art dealer Hamburger Frères in 1905: it is now in the collection of the Morgan Library & Museum, in New York.
Martha Bray or Martha Bray-Smeets (1884 – 1949) was a French suffragist who formed the Ligue d'action féminine to influence French opinion in favour of recognising women's right to vote.
On 6 December 1925 she created the Ligue d'action féminine to influence French opinion to recognise that French women had the right to vote.
Unlike Britain, France had not rewarded French women with the vote after the war, and the argument for women's suffrage was confused.
The organisation she had formed was non-militant but Bray was envious of the militant tactics that had been used by the British Women’s Social and Political Union before the first World war.
On 8 September 1926 they made the front page of the Paris daily newspaper Le Journal with coverage of their campaign and a photo of a car of supporters and a portrait of Bray.

Weber & Co. in 1859 based on a plan by professor Julius Thomsen (1826-1909) for manufacturing washing soda from cryolite from a cryolite factory in Greenland.
In 1865, when he had completed his exams, Kryolit Mine og Handelsselskabet sent him to the US to oversee the deliveries of cryolite to the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Company.
In early 1856, he travelled to the US to provide technical support in connection with the first deliveries of cryolite from Greenland.
With inspiration from David Alter's nearby production site, Hagemann began to work on improving methods to manufacture and purify bromine from salt well.
Fabrikken Øresund was hit hard and went into administration when the market price of washing soda suddenly dropped dramatically in 1866.
When Hagemann visited Denmark in the summer of 1869, C. F. Tietgen convinced him to purchase kryolitfabrikken Øresund in a partnership with Vilhelm Jørgensen (1844-1925).
The production of sulfuric acid had already been discontinued in the 1880s as a result of a contract with Fredens Mølle.
The company's cryolite was on 1 January 1940 ceded to Kryolitselskabet Øresund A/S (a company founded by Greenland's Home Office), Kryolith Mine og Handels Selskabet A/S and Øresunds chemiske Fabriker.
The Amanda Young Foundation was established in 1998 by Barry and Lorraine Young, following the death of their daughter Amanda in 1997 from meningococcal disease.
Young was born on 6 September 1979, and died on 12 October 1997 after contracting meningococcal disease while in Penrith, New South Wales; she was part of a rowing team attending a regatta.
There had been an outbreak of meningococcal disease in the Kensington Colleges; 450 people who had come into contact with the infected person were given the vaccination, with some also being given antibiotics.
A further 1100 students at Chevalier College were vaccinated after an outbreak there; one of the students infected had her feet amputated.
The two events involved identical strains of the bacteria, but it was not known how they were related, and an early unrelated outbreak had occurred at the Kensington Colleges in August 1997.
Kate Fandry a friend of Amanda at Penrhos College, and a member of the same sporting teams worked for the Foundation following support from the WA Health Department.
The Foundation relies on fundraising and the support of community groups across Perth to operate; they include open gardens, fetes, and other activities, such as the group of volunteers who in 2016 crocheted a wall of yellow flowers to be displayed during Channel Seven Perth Telethon.
The garden is a labour of love, borne out of Young's parents need to do something to keep them busy following her death.
There is an annual fete and open day, supported by local community groups, held every October to raise money for the Foundation.
The building is representative of the transition of Chicago high rise design from the Chicago School to Art Deco, and its north and east facades feature Neo-Manueline ornamentation.
The bank's name was changed to the Century Trust and Savings Bank, and the building's name was changed to the Century Building.
Home Federal Savings and Loan purchased the Century Building in 1950, and moved its headquarters into the building on June 30, 1952.
The building has also served as home to the headquarters of the Gideons International, Local 66 of the Elevator Operators and Starters Union, the main offices of Sterling Cleaners and Dyers, the Audit Bureau of Circulations, a Liggett's drug store, Family Loan Corporation, May Jewelers, Romas Restaurant, the Illinois Migrant Council, the National Alliance of Black Feminists, and the local office of the Guardian Angels.
In 2005, the General Services Administration used eminent domain to seize the Century Building, also acquiring other nearby buildings, citing the need for increased security around the Dirksen Federal Building.
In 2011 and 2013, Preservation Chicago listed the Century Building and the nearby Consumers Building as one of Chicago's 7 most endangered buildings.
In 2017, CA Ventures reached an agreement to purchase the Century Building, the Consumers Building, and the two smaller buildings in between, for $10.38 million.
The Century Building and Consumers Building would have been converted to apartments, as part of a $141 million redevelopment project, while the historic Streamline Moderne storefront of 214 South State Street would have been restored and incorporated into a 25,000 square-foot structure built between the taller buildings for retail and commercial use.
Under the terms of the agreement, the City of Chicago would purchase the buildings from the federal government and then immediately sell them to CA Ventures.
However, the City of Chicago backed out of the agreement in December 2019, citing security concerns at the nearby Dirksen Federal Building.
Wanneroo Lion Park, formerly Bullen's African Lion Safari Park, was an open-range zoo in Carabooda, in the north of Perth, Western Australia.
The park was opened on 21 August 1971 by brothers Ken and Stafford Bullen, in partnership with television station TVW7 and Michael Edgley, following the closure of Bullens Circus in 1969, and the success of similar ventures in New South Wales.
They would bite anything attached to the vehicles, especially windscreen wipers and tyres, and windows needed to be kept up to prevent them putting their paws inside.
Lion cubs were also sent to appear in events in regional areas, such as the 1976 FeNaCl Festival in Dampier, where two cubs were inducted into the Dampier Lions Club, becoming the first female members.
In 1971, a man had his arm clawed when a lion pushed down the car window, and later died in hospital following a reaction to the anaesthetic.
A second death occurred in 1982, an apparent suicide in which a man walked out of his cars towards the lions.
In 1977, lions escaped their enclosure, killed goats, and injured a donkey, and in the mid-1980s there were reports a lion had escaped the park, which were investigated by the police.
The American actress Tippi Hedren visited the park in 1981, and voiced her dismay at the treatment of lions to the media.
In 1988, the park closed due to the high costs associated with public liability insurance and feeding the animals, and amid dissent from animal rights activists.
In 2014 the City of Wanneroo's Regional Museum collected stories and materials related to the park, including making two oral history recordings of former park workers John and Fran Gilbertson, and Marion Colmer.
A new venture was considered in 2011, and premier Colin Barnett planned for Perth Zoo to operate a new open-range venue in the Perth Hills, but that plan was abandoned following the change in government at the 2017 state election.
He raced the boat in the summer of 1976, with a crew made up of family members and amassed a very successful racing record.
The co-founder of Pearson Yachts and owner of TPI Composites, Inc, Everett Pearson, made an agreement with Johnstone to produce the design in a new factory, in return for the exclusive United states building rights.
He had been working as vice president of marketing for AMF/Alcort, the builders of the Sunfish sailboat at that time, but was unable to interest them in the J/24 design.
The company intentionally avoided the production aspect of the business, leaving that to Pearson Yachts and instead concentrating on design and marketing.
Production of the J/24 started in 1977 and the new partners expected to sell 250 boats that first year, and actually sold 750.
By early 1978 the class was popular enough to hold a one-design regatta in Key West with twenty boats competing and by that summer sixty-eight competed in Newport, Rhode Island.
Rod Johnstone's son Jeff Johnstone became president, while his son Alan Johnstone was named vice-president, while Phil Johnstone is legal counsel.
Five of Jim and Bob Johnstone's sons serve as members of the board of directors: Jeff, Alan, Stuart, Drake and Phil Johnstone.
By 2020 the company had built more than 9,000 boats and had ten designs in production: the J/70, J/80, J/88, J/96, J/99, J/111, J/121, J/97E, J/112E and the 122E.
On the same date, Kuomintang chairman Wu Den-yih announced his intention to resign his post, and stated that other high-ranking officers would also resign.
For the 2020 leadership election, each candidate is required to collect signatures from at least 3 percent of the party membership prior to 4 February 2020.
In previous leadership elections, candidates were required to secure a simple majority in a two-round system before their certification as the victor.
The party's electoral rules were revised in 2018, so that the candidate with a majority of votes would win the election.
Unlike Taiwan-based members of the Kuomintang, who were eligible to vote after four months of party membership, overseas party members must have held membership for one year.
Notes for a Film About Donna and Gail is a Canadian drama film, directed by Don Owen and released in 1966.
The film centres on Donna (Michèle Chicoine) and Gail (Jackie Burroughs), two young women who work together at a dress factory and live together as roommates, tracing the evolution and decline of their friendship in a documentary-style format.
The film makes use of the then-novel device of an unreliable narrator, ultimately revealing that the film is much more about the narrator's skewed perceptions of the women's relationship than it is about the women themselves.
She represented China at the 2008 Summer Paralympics, at the 2012 Summer Paralympics and at the 2016 Summer Paralympics and she won the bronze medal in the women's 48 kg event in 2012.
We Believe in Dinosaurs is a 2019 American documentary about the controversy surrounding the construction of the Ark Encounter museum in Williamstown, Kentucky.
The museum argues that dinosaurs existed alongside all modern animals including humans, but perished during the flood narrated in the Bible.
Dan Phelps is a geologist and activist who seeks to expose the falsehoods promoted by Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis.
Today he has been disowned by the church and shares his new perspective publicly through channels such as the Huffington Post.
Instead of detailing the finer points of the debate between evolution and creationism, the film looks more at the genesis of the museum itself.
It also looks at the organization of a protest put on by Tri-State Free Thinkers, a local atheist group with a pro-science stance.
Through the process of construction it is made clear that, for the people of Williamstown, Kentucky, the museum was ultimately a disappointment.
The film also contains scenes of the completed museum and what type of programs they conduct, which drives home the museum's primary purpose.
The surprising aspect is that it appears the scientists and protesters are often outmatched by the power of strong belief communities who have the political and financial connections to fund this project.
Emperors and kings did this because celibate clergymen could not produce legitimate heirs who could claim their inheritance at death, and thus not establish regional dynasties that could threaten the power of the imperial or royal house.
Upon their deaths, the areas governed by celibate clerics automatically reverted back to the ruler, who could then appoint their own new confidants to the position and thus retain control of all parts of the realm.
Although the phenomenon is most often associated with the Ottonian emperors (and is therefore sometimes also called the Ottonian System), since emperor Otto I introduced the system in the Holy Roman Empire in the 10th century, the practice of appointing celibate Catholic clerics in worldly governing positions had already existed during the Carolingian Empire, and in Ottonian times also occurred in France and England.
The Ottonians even managed to control the bishops of Rome, who were in the process of achieving papal primacy inside Western Christendom.
The popes, however, managed to strengthen their position in the 11th and 12th century during the Investiture Controversy, and seized indirect control of the appointment of bishops in the Holy Roman Empire with the 1122 Concordat of Worms.
Initially, a system was introduced where local cathedral chapters elected the new bishop, and their choice had to be confirmed by the metropolitan bishop.
In the 14th century, the Holy See began to reserve the appointment of certain bishops to itself, after which the popes gradually laid claim to the exclusive right to appoint all bishops everywhere.
This enabled them to appoint their confidants, thus nullifying the emperors' advantages and thus interest in maintaining and enlarging the Imperial Church System.
Although some prince-bishoprics would continue to exist until the French Revolution or even the German mediatisation (1803), they gradually declined in number and power in subsequent centuries.

David Gillespie is a former lawyer who has written several books about health, psychology and education although he admits to no qualifications in nutrition or dietetics, psychology or education.
Some of his claims have been criticized as both misleading and dangerous by qualified dietitians and eminent bodies such as the Australian National Heart Foundation.
Gillespie has researched and written a series of books about diet and other issues on the basis of his personal experience and conclusions from reading.
There are some that lack nutritional integrity but consumed occasionally, in small quantities as a celebratory food or treat, they would have no long-lasting negative effects on our health...But there are poorly balanced diets.
The National Heart Foundation of Australian has released a statement disagreeing with Gillespie's claims around vegetable oils and including a strong health warning.
However there is scientific consensus that replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat, in particular polyunsaturated fat, reduces your risk of heart disease.
In the book Gillespie looks at how Australia came to have current the school system and then provides a guide to finding the best school.
Gillespie argues that there are two critical factors in identifying the best school; the quality of the teachers and the quality of the leadership team and that these can be found in any part of the Australian school system.
In the book Gillespie states that he has 6 children and if he sent them to the private school he attended or the equivalent girls' school he would have to have paid over $AUS1.3 million in fees.
While the book has received criticism from Teachers Unions, who he says have taken incentives away from teachers, and by the independent school system, no one has disputed that the quality of teachers count.

On the afternoon of February 9, 2005, the body of Geetha Angara, a chemist who had not been seen since the previous morning when she had gone to the water tanks to take samples, was found in a water tank at the Passaic Valley Water Commission treatment facility in Totowa, New Jersey, United States, after the tanks had been drained.
A radio and broken beaker she had been carrying when last seen alive were also found in the water below an access panel that was slightly ajar.
An autopsy found bruises on Angara's neck consistent with choking, as well as on her waist and elbows, suggesting she had been involved in a violent struggle, but not a deadly one.
Investigators classified the case as a homicide, believing the killing had been intentional; they put Angara's death as having occurred the day before.
Since access to the plant was tightly controlled, police believed that the responsible party was someone else in the plant that day.
After interviewing all of Angara's coworkers over the next few months, detectives found some possible motives and narrowed a list of possible suspects down to eight men.
Three were ultimately considered suspects, but after further investigation the case went cold, and they have not been publicly identified and no arrests have been made.
Investigators have also considered the possibility that the death was purely accidental, based on the work of a Scottish pathologist who argues that injuries very similar to those associated with strangulation can occur as victims drown in very cold water such as that Angara was found in—the theory is that the plate over the tank might negligently have been left open following some sample collection for water testing.
Struck by similarities with a 1968 killing of a woman, also in Passaic County, alone while in a high-security industrial complex on a weekend, they looked for leads in that case's file.
In 2007, Angara's family, frustrated by the lack of progress, successfully pushed for the state's Attorney General to review the case, but that effort did not result in any new leads or information either.
Born in Chennai, India, in 1961, Angara earned bachelor's and master's degrees in chemistry from Loyola College, Chennai, the first woman in the school's history to do so.
In 1984, she emigrated to the U.S., where she earned additional master's degrees and a doctorate in organic chemistry from New York University.
Angara married another Indian emigré who worked in banking, and the couple shortly had the first of their three children, settling at first in Clifton, New Jersey, a suburb in Passaic County.
After a year at Merck analyzing compounds, in 1992 Angara began working for the Passaic Valley Water Commission (PVWC), a public utility owned by Clifton and the neighboring cities of Passaic and Paterson, which provides of water daily to 800,000 customers in those cities and 14 other communities in that region of North Jersey.
Seven years later, the family moved to Holmdel, to the south in Monmouth County, where they believed the school system was better.
Angara had been considering leaving the PVWC, but changed her mind after she was promoted to senior chemist of the plant and earned a plant operator's license.
In that position, she took the lead in transitioning the Totowa plant from the chlorination it had been using to purify its water to an ozone-based process.
She was proud of her work on that project, but some of her coworkers had resented both her promotion and the switch, her husband later recalled.
Angara did not socialize much with her coworkers, other than a few she worked with closely, preferring to concentrate on her work.
In late January 2005, the discovery of a pinkish substance in the treated water, during a week Angara was out sick, heightened tensions in the PVWC workplace, since Angara was asked to retrain some coworkers as a result.
Angara had also begun the process of applying for another license, which aroused more antipathy among those coworkers who disliked her.
On the morning of February 8, Angara arrived at 7:30 a.m. and worked until a 9:45 a.m. breakfast with her immediate coworkers.
One, a subordinate of hers, told her that the plant's filters and clarity sensors needed to be calibrated, an assertion supported by plant records.
The group left for another building shortly before 10 a.m.; Angara returned to the building where she usually worked at 10:30.
She left a sandwich on her desk, apparently intending to eat it when she returned from a task her coworkers said she had done many times without incident.
The subordinate who had reminded her of the need to calibrate the instruments went into the basement themselves, noticing broken glass on the floor in one area about 15 to 20 minutes later.
Angara's absence would not otherwise be noticed at work until 9:20 p.m. that night, when a worker on the night shift noted that her car was still in the parking lot; another worker noticed that her sandwich still on her desk where she had left it and her coat was still in the closet.
Repeated calls to her cell phone from her family in Holmdel, where she was supposed to give her daughter a ride to an afternoon basketball game, had gone unanswered.
Workers at the plant called the Angaras to say they could not find her at the plant and it did not appear she had ever left.
Workers searching the basement found an area where one of the , aluminum floor panels that opened onto the million-gallon () tanks was slightly ajar, and the 12 screws which normally held it in place were broken or missing.
At 2 a.m. on February 9, PVWC officials shut the plant down so that the tank below that panel could be drained.
Before refilling the tanks and restoring service, the commission issued a boil-water order to customers as a precaution; this was lifted at the end of the following day.
The pathologists found that she was alive when she went into the water and reported the cause of death as drowning.
Other bruises on her waist and elbow suggested a struggle Six days after Angara's death, county prosecutor James Avigliano announced that the case would be investigated as a homicide.
Detectives' case theory was that whoever had killed Angara had likely incapacitated her first (exactly how, if not just through the strangulation, has not been made public since only the killer would know that; some accounts suggest she was struck on the head, but with only bare hands), and then opened the access panel and dumped her in, then hastily replaced the panel.
The tank was unlit and there was no ladder that would have allowed Angara to climb up into the between the water surface and the basement floor; the water itself filled the tank to a uniform depth of leaving no place to stand.
Angara's body had been immersed for over a day, and the heavy chlorination in the water eliminated any trace evidence, such as DNA or fingerprints, that another person might have left on it or her clothing during the final struggle.
Many firefighters and police officers, as well as plant workers, had walked through the putative crime scene before the body was found, leaving it severely compromised.
Loud machinery in the area where Angara was attacked would have muffled any sounds like a scream, struggle, or broken glass.
Access to the treatment plant complex was tightly controlled, with only one driveway and a manned security post where all entrants had to check in, monitored by a camera (although once they had been cleared, they could move about the complex freely).
Two women were known to have widely disliked Angara, but no one thought they were capable of killing her over that.
Her job responsibilities as senior chemist did not include hiring or firing authority, making it unlikely that a workplace dispute could have arisen from those possibilities.
Investigators began to consider the possibility that the killing was not planned and instead had arisen from either an argument or Angara witnessing something the killer did not want anyone to witness; they had also ruled out the discoloration and ozone issues as a motive, and no longer believed the displacement sensor's breakdown was a factor.
From the strength required to lift and replace the access panel, and struggle with the , chemist, police came to believe the killer was male (although the county coroner argued that a woman in sufficient physical condition could have done those things as well).
The Passaic County prosecutor's office assigned 13 detectives to work the case; they spent 4,000 hours interviewing all the plant's employees and getting DNA samples from those who had worked there that day.
Workers did their jobs in pairs as a safety precaution while the police kept a close eye on what happened at the plant.
By that time investigators had narrowed their focus to a group of eight men, finding that many of the employees had a generally favorable impression of Angara.
One year after the crime, detectives had narrowed that group down to three suspects, one of whom was the coworker who had first taken note of Angara's absence after walking down to the basement.
Federal and state environmental regulators reviewed the plant's records, at the request of police, for anything unusual they might have missed.
By the middle of 2006, no new leads had emerged, and the case went cold, one of two out of Passaic County's 30 homicides that year that went unsolved.
At the request of the Angara family, the state Attorney General's office had the state police review the case in 2007, but nothing new developed from that.
After Angara's death, the PVWC contracted for improved security, including armed guards patrolling inside and outside the plant at all hours.
They alleged that the plant had a history of safety violations and accidents, for which the state had cited it 55 times, but the commission had done nothing to correct them.
Ten years after the killing, when the Angara family had lobbied state senator Joe Kyrillos to support their call for another state-level review, police suggested that they might have been mistaken about the three suspects.
Early in the case, investigators noted that an unsolved 1968 killing, also in their jurisdiction, bore some similarities to the Angara case.
On August 31 of that year, the body of 22-year-old Joan Freeman, from what was then known as West Paterson, was found in a hallway at the Hoffmann-La Roche plant complex that straddled the border between Clifton in Passaic County and Nutley in neighboring Essex County.
She had been attacked suddenly from behind, struck several times on the head with a wooden mallet, after which the attacker slit her throat; any one of the wounds inflicted would have been enough to kill her, the coroner said.
Freeman, a secretary at the plant, had also been working alone, doing overtime recording employees' work hours from their time cards, on a Saturday in a second-floor library in one of the 86 buildings on the drug company's campus, when she was killed.
The campus itself was, like the Totowa treatment plant, fenced off with access permitted only to those who had been cleared to enter by security.
The county prosecutor's office, state police, and Clifton police devoted 16 investigators, including two full-time, to interview 300 people who might have been able to be on campus that day, including lie detector tests.
His office's detectives studied the case both to see if anyone who had worked at Hofmann later worked for the PVWC, and to see if they could learn from how the investigators handled the Freeman case.
In May 2006, over a year after Angara's death, it was reported that some of the investigators had begun to consider the possibility that it was in fact an accident.
They had contacted Scottish forensic pathologist Derrick Pounder of the University of Dundee, one of the few in the field expert in drownings, particularly those that occur in cold water.
His research has found that in a small percentage of such cases, the victim experiences bruising on the neck and petechiae on the eyeballs that closely mimics injuries otherwise seen as strong indicators of premortem strangulation.
Pounder never examined Angara's body (and could not have, since it had been cremated shortly after her death in accordance with Hindu funerary traditions), nor any of the records from the autopsy.
By the time of the third anniversary of Angara's death, he had come to believe, in part after considering Pounder's research, that the case was an accident, the result of negligence rather than malice.
When Angara came into the dimly lit area, she did not see it and fell in, after which the person who should have replaced the plate did so in a hurry.
Her mother was exceedingly cautious, she said, and it was unlikely that she would have failed to see a dark, wide hole in the floor.
The family has also questioned why it seemed Angara's coworkers failed to notice her absence for the rest of their day.

Milenić was born in Foča, in what was then the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Milenić appeared on the SPO's electoral list in the 2000 Serbian parliamentary election; the list did not cross the threshold to win representation in the assembly.
From 2000 to 2011, parliamentary mandates in Serbia were awarded at the discretion of the sponsoring parties, and it was common practice for seats to be awarded out of numerical order; the SPO could have selected Milenić for a seat in parliament, but it did not.
The DS and its allies formed a coalition government after the election, and Stevanović and Milenić served in the assembly as supporters of the ministry.
Both resigned in September 2011, due to a determination that changes in Serbian law had made their executive functions at the municipal level incompatible with serving in the legislature.
After the election, the URS initially participated in a new coalition government led by the Serbian Progressive Party and the Socialist Party of Serbia; in 2013, however, it moved into opposition.
In the same year, the various constituent groups of the URS (including G17 Plus and Together for Šumadija) merged into a single united party.
Milenić was a substitute member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) from 21 January 2013 to 22 May 2014.
He also served two terms as president (i.e., speaker) of the Kragujevac assembly between 2008 and 2014; his second term in office, lasting from 2012 to 2014, ended when the Serbian Progressive Party and its allies formed a new local administration.
Milenić was promoted to the second position on the URS's list in the 2014 Serbian parliamentary election, but the list did not cross the threshold to win representation in the assembly.
Milenić left Together for Šumadija in 2017, saying that it had not existed as a functional political organization for some time.
In August 2019, he argued that the PSG's decision on boycotting the next Serbian parliamentary election should be made openly by the entire party rather than by its leadership alone.
Kamil Chadirji (1897–1968, ), also spelled Kamil al-Chadirji or Kamel al-Chaderji, was an Iraqi politician, photographer, lawyer, activist, and founder of the National Democratic Party in Iraq.
When the British took over Iraq as Mandatory Iraq, Chadirji's family escaped to Istanbul, with Chadirji himself enrolling in the medical school there.
He earned a law degree in 1925 and worked for the Municipality of Baghdad as well as for the Department of Finance, working in education.
He joined the Ahali group, and was elected to parliament in 1927, becoming the minister of works from 1936 to 1937 under Bakr Sidqi and Hikmat Sulayman's government, resigning in protest against army interference in the government.
In 1930, Chadirji, as a member of the National Party (also known as the Ahali group), worked together with Rashid Ali, Hikmat Sulayman and Yasin al-Hashimi, the leaders of the newly-created National Fraternity Party (Hizb al-Ikha al-Watani).
The party was not much of an organized and legitimate political party, instead serving as an opposition from powerful Iraqi political figures to the British.
Previously, Chadirji and his group, made of Ahali reformists, had joined the Comintern in 1935 at the Seventh Comintern Congress in Moscow.
The NDP and other parties (including Jews), especially the Iraqi Independence Party, created the Committee for the Defense of Palestine, which organized protests in front of the American and British embassies, as well as calling for a general strike in May 1946 against Western pressure on Palestine.
Due to Chadirji's will to redistribute income and achieve a more political society, he was imprisoned 2 times in the 1950s.
On January 21, the Regent of Iraq called the leaders of the parties involved in the protests to a meeting at the palace.
Chadirji was skeptical of this proposal, and, as he states in his memoirs, many members of the Iraqi opposition hoped for a collapse of the talks would strengthen Nuri al-Said and the Sharifian elites.
Seeing as the Al-Wathbah uprising of 1948 and the Iraqi Intifada of 1952 had failed, he realized that one party was not enough to bring about sufficient change.
In August 1958, he met British Oriental Counselor Samuel Falle, and told him about the Arab perspective of events in the Middle East.
Chadirji talked about the inclination of Arab countries to the Soviet Union, their suspicion at American troops in Lebanon, and their perceived threat of British forces in Jordan.
The NDP chose to align more with the Communists rather than the pan-Arab parties to the right, even though the NDP was a bourgeois party and the ICP represented the working class.
After the Revolution, they formed an immediate alliance with the Communists, but a stable coalition was not achieved, as the alliance came under constant attacks from Ba'athists and Nasserists.
In 1963, Chadirji, with the NDP now dissolved, sent a memorandum to Iraqi Field Marshal Abdel-Salam Aref, calling for democracy in Iraq.

Jacob Gotfried Haafner (Halle, 13 May 1754 – Amsterdam, 4 September 1809) was a German-Dutch travel writer who lived in and wrote extensively on India and Sri Lanka.
His travelogues were noted for their Romantic undertones, lively descriptions of Indian cultures and peoples, as well as criticisms of European colonialism, slavery, and cultural domination.
The family moved to Emden in northwest Germany where Jacob's father, Matthias, worked as a ship's surgeon for the Emden Company, then to Amsterdam in 1763, when he joined the Dutch East India Company.
Shortly before arriving in Cape Town on a trip to Asia in 1766, however, Matthias Haffner died, leaving 12-year-old Jacob in the care of a foster family in the Cape Colony.
In 1768, Jacob Haafner enlisted as a cabin boy on a ship bound for Batavia (modern Jakarta, then capital of the Dutch East Indies).
In June 1771, Haafner enlisted as a VOC servant and departed for Nagapattinam, the capital of Dutch Coromandel from 1660 to 1781.
Tired of the sailor's life, he settled in the town and worked in the factory as an assistant bookkeeper from 1773 to 1778, learning Tamil and conducting private trade on the side.
From June to September, he embarked on a hiking tour of the island from Jaffnapatnam to Colombo, then left for Calcutta in West Bengal.
At the centre of British colonial administration, he found work as a bookkeeper to the former Governor of Benares, Joseph Fowke.
Having developed a profound interest in Indian culture and studied a variety of Indian languages (Tamil, Urdu, Hindi, Telugu, and Sanskrit), he became acquainted with The Asiatic Society, founded in 1784 by Sir William Jones.
In 1786, he traveled southwards along the Coromandel coast through Tamil Nadu and Orissa, covering more than 600 miles by palanquin.
His travel stories were published between 1806 and 1821, of which three were published posthumously by his eldest son, Christian Mathias.

He also served as Chairman of the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of the Arts and was a member of the State Council.
By 1796, when he was sixteen, he had already advanced to an important rank, but was not as committed to a military career as other members of his family.
At the request of his father, Admiral Alexander Shishkov took him under his wing for a short tour of Europe, but this apparently did not work out well.
His career was advanced considerably when the Tsar took Anna Lopukhina as a mistress and his father was able to arrange a marriage to Anna's sister, Praskovya (1784-1870).
Upon the accession of Alexander I, he was transferred to the Collegium of Foreign Affairs, where he served until 1809, when he was named a Prosecutor for the Governing Senate.
During the French Invasion of Russia, he led the evacuation of the Senate to Kazan and was awarded a gold snuff box for his efforts.
He also served on various commissions, including oversight of the construction of Saint Isaac's Cathedral and directing operations for the Imperial theaters.
In addition to his governmental duties, he served as Chairman of the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of the Arts and was known as a patron of young artists.
In 1835, he accompanied Mikhail Scotti on a study trip to Italy, and provided a workshop for the brothers Grigory and Nikanor Chernetsov.
Pitt Clubs were private members clubs formed in Great Britain in the 18th and 19th century to memorialise William Pitt the Younger (1759 – 1806).
The London Pitt Club was formed in 1793 by Nathaniel Atcheson with a view to counteract the radical ideas of the French Revolution.
Originally the club met on the birthdays of George III and his Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz Following Pitt's resignation in 1801 they also celebrated Pitt's birthday on 28 May.
During longwall mining, wooden pit props were recovered for re-use as the coal face moved forward; this was done by knocking them out with a hammer, which was a hazardous operation.
It became widely used in mining; as well as for removing props, it was used for pulling derailed wagons back onto tracks.
He designed and manufactured other inventions, mostly for use in mining, and he continued to patent his devices into the 1940s.
The Sylvester device was eventually banned by the Coal Board in 1978, as modern techniques made it unnecessary, and it could be dangerous if used improperly.

Ernst Marschall von Bieberstein (2 August 1770 - 22 January 1834) served as of the Duchy of Nassau between 1806 and 1834.
Between 1806 he was one of two chief ministers of Nassau, but after the resignation of Hans Christoph Ernst von Gagern (apparently as an unintended consequence of a new imperial decree), Marschall von Bieberstein became in effect the sole leading politician in Nassau in 1809.
Ernst (Franz Ludwig) Freiherr Marschall von Bieberstein was born into a protestant family at Wallerstein (approximately 80 kilometers / 50 miles north of Augsburg), a younger son of (1726–96), an army officer and from Württemberg.
The aristocratic family could trace their rise to eminence back at least to the thirteenth century, and the medieval Margravate of Meissen.
The Karlsschule was an elite establishment: the younger two Marschall von Bieberstein brothers got to know Georges Cuvier (1769 – 1832) who later came to prominence as a notable naturalist-palaeontologist, and who became a lifelong family friend.
However, he was already destined, in the longer term, for a career in and after a year of military service he made the switch, taking a post as Court and Government Assessor.
Given the overwhelming superiority in terms of resources and numbers of the French forces, Marschall von Bieberstein was pragmatic, counselling a conciliatory approach.
As early as 1793, echoing the views of the men who later came to be known as the Prussian reformers in Berlin, Marschall von Bieberstein had shared his opinion that the best protection against the revolutionary tide lay in adopting a constitution, though it would be another twenty years before he would have the opportunity to on this.
In 1797, in defiance of the wishes of , that Ernst Marschall von Bieberstein undertook a diplomatic mission to Paris as part of a mediatisation policy, apparently of his own.
Karl-Wilhelm, Prince of Nassau-Usingen died in May 1803 and 's request that he be permitted to retire was accepted by the new prince.
One of the most pressing tasks to be addressed involved the difficult negotiations over compensation for the duchy's lost territories on the left Bank of the Rhine.
The amalgamation of Nassau-Usingen with Nassau-Weilburg in 1806 represented an effective triumph for Marschall von Bieberstein, and incorporation of the territory into the French sponsored Confederation of the Rhine created a buffer state which suited French strategic objectives.
After The creation of the enlarged Duchy of Nassau in 1806, Marschall von Bieberstein and Hans Christoph Ernst von Gagern headed up the government jointly.
However, Nassau's sovereignty was not unconstrained, and a new edict imperial in 1809 debarred those who had been born on the Left Bank of the Rhine from government service in any state other than France.
Marschall von Bieberstein was still a relatively young man when he took over the government, and his early years in office are marked by a comprehensive strategy of financial, social and economic reform, all designed to create a modern and more unified state.
Some years later, in 1817, based on the detailed work of the lawyer-educationalist Carl Ibell, and with the enthusiastic (and very necessary) backing of Marschall von Bieberstein, education provision was removed from church control and was introduced.
Up to that point, there can be little doubt as to his commitment to the economicliberalism advocated by eighteenth century enlightenment thinkers.
Viewed in retrospect it becomes hard to understand just what a radical step (or, for constitutional conservatives, threat) this de facto guarantee of would have represented, both in 1814 and subsequently.
Back in 1806, when Marschall von Stein had been running Nassau's foreign policy, his conciliatory approach towards France had generated tension and, at times, acrimony between himself and Baron vom Stein, at that time a senior Prussian government minister.
After the Prussians suffered a crushing military defeat in 1806 at the hands of Napoleon, however, French pressure led eventually to vom Stein's exile from Prussia in 1808.
As the fortunes of war turned after 1812 vom Stein was able to move around a little more freely, and by the time the was implemented in 1814 relations between vom Stein and Marschall von Bieberstein were much improved, and the two men seem to have worked closely together on the constitution project.
Improved relations between the two men proved particularly important at the Congress of Vienna which between November 1814 and June 1815 set the template for Europe after Napoleon.
Although vom Stein's ambitions for Europe were, for the most part, ignored or turned down by the leading protagonists at the Congress of Vienna, Stein's support for the Duchy of Nassau was important to Marschall von Bieberstein, who attended the congress of behalf of his prince.
Marschall von Bieberstein was able to secure rejection by the congress of the initial wishes of the Prussian delegation that Nassau should simply be annexed to Prussia.
By the trauma of war and demonisation of Napoleon had done much to discredit political modernisation among a new generation of political leaders and across Europe more widely.
The mood at the Congress of Vienna was best exemplified by the cautious conservatism of the Prince Metternich and the Viscount Castlereagh.
Among these government heads, Marschall von Bieberstein was exceptional in having already been at the head of a government for almost as long as Frederick William III had been a king and Alexander I had been a tsar.
By backing the so-called , Marschall von Bieberstein aligned himself with a powerful Austrian Foreign Minister (who after 1821 combined his ministerial responsibilities with the office of ).
The abrupt change of political focus also reflected a widespread opposition to further reform across Nassau and indeed across the German Confederation more generally.
On 23 March 1819 the well-known writer August von Kotzebue was murdered in Mannheim by a liberal-radical theology student called Karl Ludwig Sand.
On 1 July 1819 a serious (though ultimately unsucessful) attempt was made to assassinate Carl Ibell, who by this time had become a senior member of Marschall von Bieberstein's government in Nassau.
Marschall von Bieberstein had, he assured the prince, already attempted to persuade the Grand Duke of Hesse to take the necessary steps, by exerting pressure through the Prussians, but these attempts had been fruitless.
The risks of revolutionaries gaining influence were compounded in the region by the absence of any hardline position on the part of the city authorities in nearby Frankfurt am Main.
Despite the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the Austrian Empire remained, in most people's eyes, the most important member of the German Confederation: its continuing leadership role was taken for granted both by Prince Metternich and by Marschall von Bieberstein.
Metternich replied promptly, on 31 July 1819, thanking Marschall von Bieberstein for his letter which had, yet again, confirmed him in his own opinion that the member governments of the German confederation needed to work much more closely together.
A was held on 1 August 1819, the day following the date on Metternich's letter to Marschall von Bieberstein, at the health resort of Teplitz in northern Bohemia: the meeting was arranged by Prince Metternich, representing Austria, in order to agree his position with King Frederick William III of Prussia and the Prussian chancellor, von Hardenberg.
On 2 August 1819 the eruption of a two month period of communal and antisemitic rioting intensified the perceived need for action against the dangers of a rerun of the French revolution centred, this time, on German-speaking central Europe.
Ernst Marschall von Bieberstein, whose correspondence has been preserved, now emerged as an uncompromising backer of the approach envisaged in the Karlsbad decrees, both diplomatically and in his conservative domestic authoritarianism during the ensuing fifteen years.
It is, indeed, striking that the revolutionary tide of 1830/31 was far less disruptive of government and of daily life in Nassau than in many of the larger states of the German confederation including, notably, neighboring Hesse where revolutionaries forced the adoption of a newly in 1831.
The savage treatment meted out to the aging opposition leader in 1832 indicate that it was not just the pre-emptive impact of Marschall von Bieberstein's reform agenda fifteen years earlier, but also his willingness in the 1830s to adopt a hands-on which Prince Metternich himself would .
The central mission to preserve the duchy's sovreignty underpinned many of Marschall von Bieberstein's policies after 1819, including his backing of Metternch's determination to suppress .
It was also a reflection of his determination to preserve the duchy's independence to the maximum extent possible that he stubbornly resisted the development of a pan-German customs union, which came into existence in January 1834 but which, following Marschall von Bieberstein's death, Nassau joined only on 10 December 1835.
It was (at leasty in part) in order to undermine the development of a pan-German customs union that he travelled to Paris where on 19 September 1833 he agreed a trade deal with France which favoured the export from France of wines and silk products, and the export from Nassau of mineral water.
Ernst Marschall von Biebertein died in office at the start of 1834, half a year short of what would have been his sixty-fourth birthday.
Commentators nevertheless contend that the authoritarian régime that he established after 1819 comfortably outlived him, coming to an end only in 1848.1848/49.
In traditional scholars have focused on Marschall von Bieberstein's rejection of a customs union and on the reactionary domestic policies that he implemented after 1819.
His reforms during the Napoleonic period and his contribution during that period to the to modernisation of Nassau were often overlooked, probably because the duchy was annexed by Prussia in , so existed only for sixty years in total.

He is the Chief Scientific Officer at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour and holds a Professorship in Neuroscience at University College London.
Otis' research has been focused on cellular and circuit function of the cerebellum and hippocampus, as well as preclinical models of spinocerebellar ataxia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Otis’ doctoral work was completed in the laboratory of Istvan Mody at Stanford University and focused on fundamental aspects of inhibitory synaptic transmission.
Using newly developed methods for patch clamping in brain slice preparations, Otis characterized the function of GABA-gated ion channels (GABAA receptors) and GABA activated G protein coupled receptors (GABAB receptors).
In 1998, Otis joined University of California, Los Angeles as an Assistant Professor, becoming Associate Professor in 2003 and Full Professor in 2007.
He served as the Vice Chair of Department of Neurobiology at UCLA Medical Center from 2008 to 2013, and then as the Chair of the Neurobiology Department from 2013 to 2015.
Otis took the position of Vice Director and Section Head of F. Hoffman-La Roche in 2015 while on leave of absence from UCLA.
In 2017, Otis left Roche and moved to the United Kingdom, where he joined University College of London as a Professor of Neuroscience and the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour as Chief Scientific Officer.
In postdoctoral work with Laurence Trussell at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Otis studied excitatory synaptic transmission, measuring glutamate receptor activation at a giant synapse in the chick auditory brainstem and constructing models of neurotransmitter diffusion and receptor gating that explain how glutamate interacts with postsynaptic receptors.
In postdoctoral work with Craig Jahr and Mike Kavanaugh, he used electrophysiological approaches and fast solution exchange to detail the biophysical function of glutamate transporters (the proteins responsible for removing glutamate from excitatory synapses).
In his own laboratory at UCLA, Otis extended this work to describe how glutamate transporters shape excitatory signals to different pools of glutamate receptors.
He hypothesized that a feedback loop between G protein coupled glutamate receptors and glutamate transporters might regulate ‘spill over’ of glutamate from synapses, thereby ensuring that excitatory synapses remain independent.
In collaboration with the laboratory of Richard Olsen, he presented evidence that ethanol enhances these subtypes of GABAA receptors and that this likely contributes to the intoxicating and sedative effects of alcohol.
Using optogenetics to manipulate cerebellar circuits, Otis showed that robust but artificial associative memories can be imparted such that otherwise innocuous sensory stimuli can then generate aberrant movements.
These findings validate circuit-based models of cerebellar learning and suggest that learning may involve modifications at multiple sites in the cerebellar circuit.
In collaboration with the lab of Stefan Pulst, Otis’ team has characterized and studied mouse genetic models of spinocerebellar ataxia type 2.
Working with scientists at IONIS, the teams developed an antisense oligonucleotide targeting the SCA2 gene and showed that this molecule improves motor function in mice.
Due to the involvement of SCA2 in stress granules in degenerating neurons, the same antisense oligonucleotide against SCA2 has potential to treat other misfolded protein disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia.
He taught at the Jesuit college in Namur and St Joseph College, Aalst, before becoming prefect of studies at St Michael College, Brussels.
It is near to Kukatpally municipal Office, Kukatpallu Bus Depot, Patidar Bhavan, Petrol Bunk, ICICI Bank ATM, Andhra Bank, TSRTC Bus Stop and Vasundhara Hospital.

Also, operation panels inside the elevators are installed at a level that can be conveniently operated by all passengers, including differently-abled and elderly citizens.
The Port Augusta Renewable Energy Park is proposed to be a large wind farm and solar farm south of Port Augusta in South Australia, Australia.
The solar farm is planned to be at the northern end of the site, west of the Augusta Highway and immediately south of Sundrop Farms.
The wind turbines will be on both sides of the Augusta Highway, extending south as far as the road to Horrocks Pass.
The project has been developed by DP Energy, but prior to construction, Spanish company Iberdrola committed to investing and will eventually own stage 1 after DP Energy manages its construction.
Stage 2 remains owned by DP Energy and is proposed to include more solar photovoltaic generation and a grid connected battery.
The developer claims that the combination of wind, solar, battery and synchronous condensers combine to create a renewable energy power station.
The wind turbines were originally approved to have a maximum height (to the tip of the blades) of but in June 2019, this approval was increased to .
The revised plan raises the hub height to , nominal generating capacity of each turbine to 4.5MW, and reduces the number of turbines from 59 to 50.
Citizens in a State (Arabic: مواطنون ومواطنات في دولة, Mouwatinoun wa mouwatinat fi dawla or MMFD for short) is a Lebanese political party.
The book is the first political and economic analysis of Lebanon's crisis and suggests a progressive system that focuses on improving the living conditions of the country's citizens.
According to Nahas, the laws issued after 1994 were flawed and tailored to the benefit of the ruling class and its supporters, leading to the current state of the country.
In 2014, Nahas argued that the political system in its entirety must be changed and that the Taif Agreement did not constitute genuine real reform.
Citizens in a State believes it is responsible for the entirety of Lebanese society and for constructing a societal order that will extend beyond Lebanon to contribute to saving other societies within the region.
The party believes that sects cannot form a state and that the current political regime is incapable of overcoming economic and social hardships such as the 2019 financial crisis.
After the start of the protests on October 17 and after the economic crisis surfaced, the movement positioned itself as the only alternative that can manage the transitional phase.
That can only be reached, according to the movement, through identifying the regime’s contradictions, anticipating these contradictions, and building the necessary knowledge and power to handle them.
Born in Salzburg (Austria-Hungary), Schenk studied at the Salzburg Mozarteum and then at the University of Munich, where he also received his doctorate in 1925.
After the retirement of Robert Lach in 1940, Schenk followed him as full professor at the Institute of Musicology at the University of Vienna.
He was able to hold on even after the end of the National Socialist regime and was accepted into the Austrian Academy of Sciences in 1946.
In 1950 he was elected Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy and in 1957 he was finally appointed Rector of the University of Vienna.
Schenk received numerous honours for his services to musicological research, including the Decoration of Honour for Services to the Republic of Austria in 1952.
In 1966 he received the , in 1970 the Austrian Decoration of Honour for Science and Art, until he retired in 1971.
This was decreed in her will by the musicologist's widow and replaces the interpretation prize previously awarded by the City of Vienna.
It is undisputed that Schenk had a pronounced anti-Semitic attitude from the beginning of the 1930s and did not correct this until his death.
A particularly inglorious chapter in Schenk's biography is his role in the expropriation of musicologist Guido Adler's private library after his death in 1941, which is presented here in detail because it is stereotypical for the behavior of National Socialist musicologists during National Socialism.
Schenk informed the Reich Ministry of Science, Education and National Education in Berlin in a report dated 31 March 1941 about his unauthorized seizure of the library.
The method aims at maximising the likelihood of obtaining relevant information and minimise the risks of contaminating evidence obtained in police questioning.
The method has been described as a tool for mitigating the use of torture, coercion and psychological manipulation, and for averting forced confessions and errors of justice leading to wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice.
The term investigative interviewing was introduced in the UK in the early 1990s to represent a shift in police interviewing away from a confession oriented approach and towards evidence gathering.
Traditionally, the main aim of an interrogation was to obtain a confession from a suspect in order to secure a conviction.
The method aims at mitigating the effects of inherent human fallacies and cognitive biases such as suggestibility, confirmation bias, priming and false memories.
In order to conduct a successful interview the interviewer needs to be able to (1) create good rapport with the interviewee, (2) describe the purpose of the interview, (3) ask open-ended questions, and (4) be willing to explore alternative hypotheses.
In the interim report dated 5 August 2016 to the UN General Assembly of the special rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, Juan E. Méndez, the investigative interviewing method is presented at length as an example of best practice.
The PEACE model (Preparation and Planning, Engage and Explain, Account, Closure and Evaluate) for police interviewing was developed in the United Kingdom in response to a number of documented forced confessions and associated wrongful convictions in the 1980’s and 90’s.
Most notable were the cases associated with the conflict (the Troubles) in Northern Ireland, and terrorism, such as the Birmingham Six and Guildford Four-cases.
The acronym used for the training programme for the Norwegian police is KREATIV, and is composed of phrases reflecting the values and principles the method is based upon.
Professor Ray Bull and DCI David Murthwaite (Merseyside Police) were brought from the UK to Norway to help train the trainers and initiate the programme.
A module on how and when evidence should be disclosed during interviews with suspects was included, distinguishing it from the PEACE method.
The New Zealand Police published a practical tool and a compilation of literature on investigative interviewing in 2005 and underwent reforms to investigative interviewing both in policy and practice from 2007.
The Wellington Naturist Club is a naturist resort located in Te Mārua, Upper Hutt, northeast of Wellington in the North Island of New Zealand.
Its of land hold facilities including a miniature golf course, volleyball court, picnic areas, spa and sauna, and extensive rhododendron gardens, with a large hall for a clubhouse.
The Wellington Naturist Club opens its gates to the public on one weekend each summer, and periodically hosts the New Zealand Naturist Federation (NZNF)'s annual national rally.
The Club regularly celebrates World Naked Gardening Day in May, but has also helped launch a National Nude Gardening Day in October, as May is a cold month in New Zealand.
In November 2016, following lobbying by the NZNF in conjunction with Tourism New Zealand, the Club was the venue for the World Congress of the International Naturist Federation (INF), marking the second time the Congress had ever been held in the Southern Hemisphere.
This Congress was marked by political unrest, as sitting INF president Sieglinde Ivo was voted out in favour of French delegate Armand Jamier by a narrow majority led by British Naturism delegates.

The six-part series follows the nationally ranked 40-member Navarro College Bulldogs Cheer Team from Corsicana, Texas, under the direction of coach Monica Aldama, as they prepare to compete in the National Cheerleading Championship held annually in Daytona, Florida.
Interspersed in the episodes is history of cheerleading, including the formation of the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA), as well as exploring the history and motivations of five individual Cheer Team members.
One of their closest competitive rivals which is also featured, like Navarro, is a junior college, Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, Texas, and is in close proximity being roughly forty miles away.
Another aspect of the billion-dollar competitive cheerleading industry shown in the final episode is the outsized influence of Varsity Brands—just acquired by Bain Capital—that seems to control most aspects of the sport, and monetizes them, including the broadcast of the Daytona finals.
Cheerleading developed from more boosterism into a sport gradually; as one team would develop pyramids, baskets, throws, and tumbles—combining skills from cheerleading, circus arts (like balancing), and dancing—other teams would emulate and build on those tricks.
Unlike most college sports, cheerleading has no professional league after college, so the National Cheerleading Championship held annually in Daytona Beach, Florida is the last competition the team members will be a part.
The conceit was a new booster Mat Talk for Regular People program whereby the Navarro Cheer Team members would praise everyday people for mundane activities, and featured La'Darius Marshall, Harris, and Gabi Butler cheering people on, with coach Monica Aldama available for a Booster Shot.
Croatian Glagolitic Script Day was announced by the Croatian Parliament at the initiative of the Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics.

She worked as a consultant internationally from 1924 to the 1950s, developing health education programs in China, Japan, Philippines, Virgin Islands and Panama Canal Zone as well as working with companies and for University of Denver summer school in 1942, the Colorado River War Relocation Authority from 1942 to 1943 and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis in 1944.
Of the four lanes running in the eastern direction, the outer two become turning lanes to Candidplatz, in the opposite direction there is an access lane from Candidplatz.
At Candidplatz, Candidstraße is connected to the Pilgersheimer Straße - Schönstraße axis, which runs roughly parallel to the Isar in a north-south direction.
At ground level, a six-lane road runs in serpentines upwards along the slope and there serves as a connection to the Tegernseer Landstraße, which runs north along the edge of the slope, and the Grünwalder Straße, which runs south.
From there, the road runs in four lanes in the Candidtunnel to the eastern part of the Tegernseer Landstraße, which here is led in a ditch.
Candidstraße, Candidtunnel and Candidplatz are named after Peter Candid, a Flemish painter and graphic artist who lived and worked in Munich from 1586 to 1628.

The Pal family (; also spelt Pala) are a Bengali aristocratic family who had formerly held lands in what is now Sylhet, Bangladesh.
Among the most ancient clans in their region, the Pals traced their descent from a branch of the imperial Pala dynasty of Bengal.
Their line became established in Sylhet when one Kalidas Pal acquired land in Panchakhanda (in what is now Beanibazar sub-district), with his estate becoming hereditary among his descendants.
However, during the reign of Ramjivan Pal, they lost this independence, coming under the suzerainty of the Muslim rulers of Bengal.
The influence of the Pals continued into the British era, with Munshi Hari Krishna Pal serving as Dewan to the District Collector of Sylhet.

Route 94 begins in Admirals Beach at the Harbour and heads northeast through town before leaving and passing along the coastline of St. Mary's Bay for several kilometers.
The highway now enters St. Joseph's as begins following the Salmonier Arm of St. Mary's Bay and passes through town for a few kilometers before coming to an end at a Y-Intersection with Route 90 (Salmonier Line).
These most recent deposits overlie the Neogene Molasse basin of the Alpine Foreland, which in contrast comprises of fine-grained fluviatile and lacustrine facies.
The three corners corresponded with the town of Weyarn, between Miesbach and Holzkirchen in the southeast, Moosburg an der Isar in the northeast and Maisach in the west.
As a consequence the city, in contrast to the surrounding counties in the north, south and west, has almost no topographic features.
However, the waters of the Isar river have cut into the Quaternary ground in several stages and caused the typical terrace levels within the city.
The plain drops to the northeast from initially around above sea level to approximately , a decisive factor for the formation of the large Dachauer Moors, the Freisinger Moor and the Erdinger Moor.
The massive Central Alpine pleistocene glaciers, that almost reached to the area of modern Munich, discharged not only water but also large amounts of soil and rock into the Alpine Foreland.
When the glaciers melted during interglacial warm periods, huge quantities of gravel, debris and water were released and flushed to the north, where they were mainly deposited on the Munich gravel plain.
The lowest strata contains solidified deposits from the Mindel glaciation, above it lies gravel from the Riss glaciation, which in turn is covered by the youngest layer, the rock scree from the Würm glaciation.
The basin's sediment material of conglomerates, shales and debris have accumulated by erosion and denudation and formed in a sequence during the development of the Alps between around 50 to 3 million years ago.
During the pleistocene the ancient Mangfall river flowed through the eastern section of what is now the Munich gravel plain before it was deflected to the east towards the Inn river by a Würm glaciation moraine.
Further natural waters are the Hachinger Bach and the Gröbenbach and its tributaries, which all, due to exudation of groundwater, rise on the Munich gravel plain.
The top groundwater layer at the Haar-Eglfing measuring point is more than below ground, in Kirchheim it is around and on the northern edge of the Munich gravel plain it is less than .
The Erdinger Moos, which begins north of the municipalities of Aschheim, Kirchheim and Pliening, was once a bog where groundwater surfaced.
To prevent future flooding, a drainage ditch was built in the early 1920s, which caused the groundwater table to drop significantly, which in turn required deeper wells to be dug in these communities.
The Thickness of the gravel layer in the south of the Munich gravel plain made it hard to get to the groundwater for the first settlers during the early Middle Ages.
People settled around the local wells and the settlements were named after the owners of these precious water sources, such as Putzbrunn (once Puzzoprunnin after a Puzzo) or Grasbrunn (Gramasprunnin after a Gramas or Graman).
Most of the defunct sand and gravel pits have undergone years of extensive recultivation and have since become popular recreation sites for the inhabitants of metropolitan Munich.
Chandakhali union is bounded on the north by Amadi union, Koyra river on the south, Maheshwarpur union on the east and Kaptakhms river on the west.
They started talking about the song's vibe and recorded a chorus for it, but they didn't met each other for some time afterwards due to their busy schedules.
The locality is predominantly between the Goyder Highway and the Murray River, with several small areas on the other side of the highway.

The Edinburgh and St Andrews Universities by-election of 1900 was a parliamentary by-election held in Scotland in May 1900 for the House of Commons constituency of Edinburgh and St Andrews Universities.
The by-election was held to fill the vacancy caused by the death on 11 April 1900 of 70-year-old Conservative Party Member of Parliament (MP) Sir William Overend Priestley.
The Conservatives did not expect a contest in the by-election, and speculation that the novelist J. M. Barrie would stand as a Liberal Party candidate ended on 30 April when Barrie sent a telegram declining nomination.

Nathaniel Atcheson (1772-1825) was an English ship-owner who was appointed secretary to a Committee of London shipowners and the Society of Ship-Owners of Great Britain with whom the London Committee was associated.
The Komi-Zyryan and Komi-Permyak languages almost throughout their written history (except for the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th centuries) used the same writing.
It is believed that when choosing the type of letters Stefan of Perm was guided by both the Greek and Cyril alphabet, and the traditional Komi tribal characters — .
To this day, several icons with inscriptions on the barn have survived (for example, the ), as well as a number of handwritten lines in books.
Starting from the XVIII century, separate publications of Komi texts appear both in the Latin alphabet and in the Cyrillic alphabet.
It used the alphabet based on the Cyrillic alphabet: А а, Б б, В в, Г г, Д д, Е е, Ж ж, З з, И и, І і, К к, Л л, М м, Н н, О о, Ӧ ӧ, П п, Р р, С с, Т т, У у, Ч ч, Ӵ ӵ, Ш ш, ъ, Ы ы, ь, Ю ю, Я я.
In the 1820s and 1950s, a whole series of Komi grammars and dictionaries were published that used various Komi language recording systems, both Cyrillic (P.I.Savvaitov, A.M.Sjögren) and Latinized (M.A.Castren).
In the second half of the 19th century, on the basis of previously created grammars, two main systems for recording the Komi language developed.
So, in the works of G.S.Lytkin, in addition to standard Russian letters, the signs ӧ, j, the ligatures ԫ, ꚉ were used, and the softness of the consonants was indicated by a diacritic grave sign.
In the last years of the 19th century, the active publication of Alphabet book in the Komi-Zyryan and Komi-Permyak languages begins.
Due to the lack of a standard alphabet and the insignificance of editions in the Komi language (about 60-70 books and brochures in Komi were published in 1813-1914), these alphabets did not receive significant distribution among the population.
In 1918, the sphere of use of the Komi language expanded significantly - teaching was introduced in schools, local newspapers began to publish separate articles in the Komi language, etc.
In May – June 1918, a meeting of teachers was held in Ust-Sysolsk, at which teacher V.A.Molodtsov spoke and acquainted the meeting participants with their draft alphabet for the Komi language.
The lack of necessary fonts did not immediately allow us to begin publishing printed materials in this alphabet, which is why until 1920 a modified Russian alphabet was used, compiled by A.A.Zember.
Molodtsov’s alphabet was based on the Cyrillic alphabet, but had a number of specific letters to indicate soft consonants and affricates.
Despite the merits of this alphabet (strict phonemic, economical writing), it also had a number of drawbacks, the main of which was the complexity of the handwriting due to the special form of characters for soft consonants.
At that time, few supported Grena, but at that time an active process of the Latinization of writing began in the USSR, and soon this question was raised again.
In 1929, at the Komi Linguistic Conference of Glavnauki, a resolution was adopted on the need to switch to the Latinized alphabet, using the experience of Latinizing the Turkic scripts of the peoples of the USSR.
In September 1930, the Bureau of the Komi Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (Bolsheviks) formally decided to translate the Komi script into Latin.
The alphabet itself was approved in November 1931, after which the transfer of paperwork, education and publishing to a new script began.
The change in the political situation in the USSR in the mid-1930s led to the abandonment of the Latinized Komi alphabet — the country began the process of cyrillization.
Instead, Molodtsov’s alphabet was restored, but in 1938 it was replaced by a new version of the Cyrillic alphabet, much more similar to the Russian script.
For the Komi-Permyak language in May 1937, the district alphabetical commission approved the alphabet containing all 33 letters of the Russian alphabet and additional signs Җ җ, Ҙ ҙ, І і, Ӧ ӧ, Ӹ ӹ (the author of the project is V.I.Yakimov).
In July 1937, this version of the alphabet was discussed at the Leningrad branch of the Institute of Language and Writing, where it underwent some changes — Ә ә, Җ җ, Ҙ ҙ, І і, Ӵ ӵ became additional signs to the 33 letters of the Russian letter.
It contains all the letters of the Russian alphabet, as well as the signs Ӧ ӧ and І і. Digraphs дж, дз and тш are used to indicate affricates.
The Komi-Yazva language, long considered one of the dialects of the Komi-Permian language, received its original writing only in the early 2000s, when the first primer was published on it.
The alphabet of this publication includes all the letters of the Russian alphabet, the specific characters Ӧ ӧ, Ө ө, Ӱ ӱ, as well as digraphs дж, дч, тш.
The later Russian-Komi-Yazvin dictionary contains an alphabet that has, in addition to the 33 Russian letters І і, Ӧ ӧ, Ө ө, Ӱ ӱ.
The novel deals with the lives of Jews in Russia from the beginning of the twentieth century until the end of World War II.
The novel tells the story of a Jewish family in Eastern Europe over four centuries, from its escape from a blood libel in medieval Germany to Russia in the early twentieth century.
It explores the fate of Yiddish culture during the 20th century – beginning at the end of the Russo-Japanese War – and ending at the end of World War II and the creation of Israel through the history of the Boiar family.
The novel paints a rich and intricate gallery of characters confronted with continuous persecutors whose ideology varies from Czarism to Stalinism and Nazism.
The Boiar family, although decimated by the violent upheavals of the era, never gave up fighting for their spiritual and physical survival.
Prior to his T20 debut, he was named as the captain of Australia's squad for the 2014 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.
Although it was very popular for centuries, nowadays, it has not been used for some time for it has been outdated by more modern machines.
The body was placed on the lower matrix (called the pile and with the negative on one of the faces of the coin) and the upper matrix (called the piece with the negative on the other side of the coin) was lowered by means of the press of coining (of inercy wheel or balls; also called grinder).
Babrak Khan (died ) was a Zadran chieftain who was the father of Saad Akbar Babrak, the person who assassinated the first Prime Minister of Pakistan, Liaqat Ali Khan, as well as the father of Mazrak Zadran, a rebel leader during the Afghan tribal revolts of 1944–1946.
In 1898, Babrak had under him five companies of Zadran Khasadars, whom he maintained on a contract system with emir Abdur Rahman Khan, but these were subsequently disbanded and their place taken by regular troops.
In 1917, he headed a deputation of leading Zadran Maliks which visited the Nazim of Khost with a view to making peace with the British.
During the Third Anglo-Afghan War, he accompanied the Afghan Army as far as Matun and was said to have participated in Nadir Khan's attack on Thal.
Ludwig Adamec and David B. Edwards agree that Babrak died fighting in the Khost rebellion, but disagree about which year - Edwards places it in 1924, and Adamec places it in 1925.
Rhea Talley Stewart appears to contradict claims that Babrak led the Zadran tribe during the Khost rebellion, stating that the Zadran were led by Burland Khan at this time.
The discography of Charlie Brown Jr., a Brazilian alternative rock band, consists of ten studio albums, five video albums, three live albums, one promotional extended play, one compilation, one demo tape and forty singles.
The band was formed in Santos, São Paulo in 1992 from the ashes of What's Up, a former project of vocalist Chorão that, by the time of its demise, already had in its line-up bassist Champignon, guitarists Marcão and Thiago Castanho, and drummer Renato Pelado.
After a brief hiatus, Chorão reactivated the band in 2005 with Heitor Gomes on bass, André Pinguim on drums and Castanho returning as guitarist.
Pinguim's contract expired in 2008, after which he was replaced by Bruno Graveto, and in 2011, following the departure of Gomes, Marcão and Champignon returned to make Charlie Brown Jr. a quintet again.
He attended his early years of education at Soliat Primary School, some 4 kilometers from his home between 1956 and 1959 (Class 1-4) after which he proceeded to Sitotwet Intermediate School (now Torit School) (1960-1963) where he sat the Kenya African Preliminary Examination (KAPE) and then to Cheribo Primary School (1964) where he sat the Kenya Preliminary Education (KPE) exams.
His secondary education was undertaken at the Kericho High School where he sat the Ordinary Level of the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate.
(Nov. 1968) and proceeded to Strathmore College where he sat for his University of London, General Certificate of Education, Advanced Level (Jan 1970) and further to the University of Nairobi completing in April 1974.
Koech attended the University of Nairobi where he undertook a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Zoology completing in April 1974.
He later went ahead to acquire a Master of Science in Pharmacology specializing in Clinical Pharmacology at Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA in 1977.
Prof. Koech has a PhD in Medical Pathology, Immunology from the University of Nairobi, Kenya; research undertaken at Harvard University Medical School, Boston, MA, USA in 1980.
He has served in various positions in the Government of Kenya and other different organizations in the private sector and international bodies.
Prof. Davy Koech was appointed by the former president of the Republic of Kenya to head the Davy Koech Commission that formed an inquiry into Kenya's Education System.
The drug was introduced in a public ceremony presided by Kenya's former President, Daniel Toroitch Arap Moi and the work of the new wonder drug discovered was hailed as a major step against AIDS and a win for African Science by the former Vice President and Finance Minister George Saitoti.
Kemron was the trade name for a low-dose of alpha interferon, manufactured form of a natural body chemical in a tablet form that dissolves in the mouth.
Clinical trials of Kemron funded by WHO in five African Countries did not find any health benefits reported by Kemri Scientists.
Thereafter, WHO in a press release in its Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland termed Kemron as an experimental drug of unproved benefit for HIV/AIDS treatment.
The American National Institute of Health concluded that no one had been able to duplicate the effects claimed by scientists behind Kemron drug.

The Society of Ship-Owners of Great Britain (SOGB) was an organisation established by British ship-owners in 1802 to defend their interests by opposing breaches of the Navigation Acts.
The ship owners were concerned that while their operating costs such as taxation, naval supplies, wages and insurance, had increased, foreign competition meant their freight rates were kept low.
The Ubari conflict is an ongoing territorial dispute between the Taureg and Tubu tribes over control of the town of Ubari, located near the oasis city of Sabha, Libya.
The Arab Awlad Suliman tribe, an enemy of the Tubu, supported the Taureg in what they viewed as combating Tubu expansionism.
The Taureg took positions on Tendi Mountain, north of the city, while the Tubu took most of the Eastern side of town and adjacent foothills, cutting off the Eastern road leading to the Taureg stronghold of Sabha, in Western Libya.
On 23 November 2015, Qatar mediated a ceasefire between the Taureg and Tubu; both groups agreed to withdraw from Ubari, and allowed for Arab tribesmen of the Hasawna tribe to enter the city to act as peacekeepers.
In March 2017, representatives from the Tuareg, Tebu, and Awlad Suleiman signed a peace treaty in Rome as a replacement for a failed 2015 ceasefire brokered by Qatar.
In February 2019, both the Taureg and Tubu temporarily united under the GNA and its Taureg commander Gen. Ali Kanna to defend against advances by the LNA under General Khalifa Haftar in Fezzan.
Her father Joseph Gauthier, was a master blacksmith while her mother Virginie Génisset was a professor of Latin literature at a university in Besançon.
Particularly, she exerted her influence when she became the editor of the newspaper that promoted its agenda, which focused on the liberal ideals of the French Revolution and the secularization of education.
Coignet's early works had been influenced by the reform of the French educational system after the proclamation of the French Third Republic.
This is, for example, demonstrated in her defense of the public education published in 1856 as well as her account of the life of Elisa Grimailh Lemonnier, an educator who founded professional schools for young women.
Coignet is also known for her biographical account of her relatives, such as Clarisse Vigoureux and her cousin Victor and his socialist politics.
Coignet's theory identified the concept of freedom as the basis of internal morality, one that is distinguished from external morality, which is derived from philosophy or natural science.
The woman puts a stop to it when she realized her worth and her freedom, allowing her to regard her husband with reproach, awakening his conscience as a result.
The 1866 engine house contained a central ventilator and the winding engine was from local iron founder's Nasmyth Wilson, which powered a 30-inch by 54-inch winder.
It wound one cage in each shaft and the winding drum had a stepped and diameter to cater for the differing depths.
At least one of the shafts intersected the underground canal of the Worsley Navigable Levels, and although coal winding ceased in 1921 it was retained for water pumping and ventilation.
The colliery was served by the Bridgewater Collieries Railway, which connected other lines such as the LNWR and also to the Bridgewater Canal.
Pumping continued until 1968 and after the National Coal Board demolished the buildings at both sites and the shafts were filled-in.
Sometime later a violent explosion occurred in a house in Walkden caused by firedamp accumulating underground and eventually forcing its way to the surface.
He won the gold medal in the men's marathon T46 event at the 2016 Summer Paralympics held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Following sexually crude comments Hyde made about Kamala Harris, Connecticut Republicans called on Hyde to end his campaign, and the Connecticut Republican Party refunded the contributions he made to the party.
Hyde has made monetary contributions to various politicians, candidates, and organizations, including Donald Trump, Devin Nunes, Greg Pence, Patrick Morrisey, Jim Renacci, America First Action, and the Tea Party Majority Fund.
Finley Enterprises LLC, which runs Finley's campaign page, managed several pro-Trump Facebook pages that would later be suspended by Facebook for coordinated inauthentic behavior.
The revelations were of great concern to various former foreign service officers and the former ambassador asked for an investigation into this activity.
In an interview with Rachel Maddow on MSNBC on January 15, 2020, Lev Parnas said he did not believe that Hyde was being truthful, though he identified many other alleged participants discussing their roles in the Trump–Ukraine scandal.
In May 2011 in Avon, Connecticut, Hyde was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment after his landscape company felled a tree onto an overhead power line.
In November 2019, Hyde was compelled by a magistrate to make child support payments to Jennyfer Morin to support their 13-year old child.
He was also sued by Between the Bridges, LLC for failing to pay fees owed to a marina in Old Saybrook, Connecticut in January 2019, and by a landlord in Simsbury, Connecticut in February 2019 over unpaid rent.
Hyde violated a restraining order issued by a judge in Washington, D.C., ordering him to stay away from a female Republican political consultant who said Hyde was stalking her, leading police to confiscate three rifles and two shotguns from him.
Changde Apartment (), formerly known as Eddington House, is located at 195 , Jing'an District, Shanghai, close to Nanjing West Road and .
It was originally the property of the Italian Raoul Faith and the majority of its occupants were middle to upper class people.
In contrast with many of the high-rise buildings which surround it, Changde Apartment is a perfectly-sealed time capsule of its era.
This building’s fame is due to the fact that in 1939, a 20-year-old Eileen Chang lived with her mother and aunt in Unit 51.
In 1942, Eileen Chang moved back into the apartment complex, this time in Unit 65, where she lived for the following six years.
She would visit the market and the cinema during her stay there and could only fall asleep to the sound of local trams clinking at night.
After knocking on the door and receiving no answer, Hu stuffed a slip of paper in the narrow slit between the door and the ground, which later proved to be the starting point for an ill-fated romantic relationship.
It was in Changde Apartment where Eileen Chang and Hu Lancheng met, as well as where they separated from each other.
In the prose My View on Su Qing, she wrote: ‘The frontiers of Shanghai undulate slightly, shrouded in the mist of the late dusk.
People who are more poetic than me lie on their pillows, listening to the soughing of the wind in the pines from the forest, or the roaring of the crashing waves of the sea.
For me myself, I have to hear the tram ringing to fall sleep … The apartment is the most ideal place to escape.
They are eager to see that one day they can return to the crop land, raise bees and grow vegetables, and enjoy the blessings of living in ease and comfort.
What they don’t realise though, is that in the countryside, buying half a catty of smoked bacon more than needed will cause much gossip.
The current Changde Apartment is said to have been bought by a fan of Eileen Chang, so it cannot be entered without permission.
However, the downstairs floor opened an Eileen Chang-themed bookstore, named Eddington Literary House (Qian Cai Shu Fang), which is built according to the style of the period, and this attracts crowds of Eileen Chang fans who come to make a ‘pilgrimage’ for their idol.
Presumably due to its age, the building has a slight dull-grey hue, as if the rouge contaminated by the dust that was used by women of old days.
It covers a floor area of 580 square metres, a construction area of 2,663 square metres and is equipped with an elevator in an Art Deco style.
The east facade of the building features stretches of long ribbon-shaped balconies, with vertical lines in the middle forming a horizontal and vertical contrast.
The building uses the strong shadow effect formed by the balconies, curving out and the houses, caving in to form rich colour changes.
Hu Lancheng described the living room of Unit 51, where Eileen Chang lived, as having 'a modern fresh brightness which is almost thrilling'.
It is said that the private studio of director Wong Kar-Wai (wáng jiā wèi 王家卫) is also hidden in the building.
Mary Caroline Foster DeDecker (3 October 1909, Guymon, Oklahoma – 2000, Independence, Inyo County, California) was an American botanist, conservationist, environmentalist and founder of the Bristlecone Chapter of the California Native Plant Society.
Mary Caroline Foster was born 3 October 1909 in Texas County, Oklahoma Barden P. O., later RFD Guymon, in a family of Charles Morrison Foster and Phoebe Arabella Thomphson.
She studied at Van Nuys High School in the San Fernando Valley and after that completed one year at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
Mary DeDecker died in 2000 in Independence at the age of 91 and is buried at Independence Cemetery, Inyo county, California.
In Independence DeDecker met a naturalist Mark Kerr who made an exhibit of the plants and their uses by the Paiute Indians, as well as mounting and labeling many local plants.
He taught DeDecker what some of the plans were and advised to send unknown specimens to Dr. Philip Munz at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden in Claremont and to John Thomas Howell at the Academy of Sciences in San Francisco.
She has been hired or given contracts for many consulting jobs, largely to fulfill the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act.
In 1984, Susan Cochrane of the California Department of Fish & Game proved successful in her bid to name remote canyon south of Eureka Dunes in honor of DeDecker, hence, it is now called Dedeckera Canyon.
In 1989 DeDecker, as a botanist who spent many years getting acquainted with the California desert, made a statement at the Hearing before the Subcommittee on National Parks and Public Lands of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs House of Representatives on California Desert Protection Act of 1989.
DeDecker was active in such organizations as Garden Club, Civic Club, League of Women Voters, botanical organizations, Inyo Associates, Death Valley ‘49ers.
She has served a number of years as Park Liaison Chairman and as second vice-president of the Death Valley ‘49ers, a supportive organization for Death Valley National Monument.
She has also was active in the Eastern California Museum, mostly a disillusioning experience, and in the Concerned Citizens, an activist organization to fight for the rights of Owens Valley in the water issues.
She was active in the Democratic Party being on the Democratic Central Committee in Inyo County, and was appointed to the State Central Committee by Senator Charles Brown.
In DeDecker’s memory and for her many contributions to the botany and history of the Eastern Sierra Nevada and northern Mojave Desert, The Bristlecone Chapter of the California Native Plant Society founded Mary DeDecker Botanical Grant, a small-grants program.

A Little Thing Called First Love () is a 2019 Chinese romantic television drama starring Lai Kuan-lin, Zhao Jinmai and Wang Runze, Chai Wei.
The series was first aired on Hunan Television from October 23 to November 21 2019 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays for 36 episodes.
Xia Miaomiao is a shy, artistic student who develops a crush on a handsome, talented classmate and embarks on a journey of self-discovery through college.
Through the help of her friends, she starts to learn about fashion, join school clubs, and studies hard to raise her grades.
However, in 2018 Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Matt Hancock, announced that the government would be changing the organisation’s name to Tech Nation and expanding its remit to cover the whole of the United Kingdom with more integration into Britain’s financial technology sector.
The organisation funds and develops UK-based companies and personnel working in the tech sector as well as expediting visa applications under the UK Visas and Immigration Tier 1 Exceptional Talent Visa.
Following the 2008 financial crisis, a cluster of technology and digital media companies emerged around Old Street Roundabout, also nicknamed Silicon Roundabout.
The companies, which mostly consisted of technology start-ups, were attracted by low rents and the area’s relative proximity to the City of London’s financial district.
After his 2010 general election victory, working alongside advisors Steve Hilton and Rohan Silva, David Cameron unveiled plans to turn London’s East End into an international technology hub on a par with California’s, Silicon Valley.
The announcement came as part of a broader plan to create more private-sector jobs to fill the gaps in the U.K.’s job market in the wake of public sector cuts.
The plans also expanded Tech City’s reach beyond the so-called Silicon Roundabout on Old Street to the areas surrounding the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, with the Olympic Park Legacy Company providing office space inside the Olympic Park.
As well as using place branding and marketing, to attract foreign investment, the programme established a ‘one-stop-shop’ for investment; they named it the Tech City Investment Organisation (TCIO).
groups, his remit also included encouraging entrepreneurs to set up in east London, supporting them attracting investment into the U.K. and encouraging people to buy products and services emerging from the U.K. technology sector.
In 2012, Ten Downing Street appointed Cameron’s Digital Advisor, former Facebook and Google executive Joanna Shields to replace Eric van der Kleij as CEO, after van der Kleij chose not to renew his contract after its expiry.
Meanwhile, on a national scale, Cambridge had developed a cluster of companies working in the fields of biotechnology and engineering where, in 2011 it cluster of 1535 companies achieved a combined turnover of £11.8bn, making it one of the oldest and most successful tech clusters in Europe while wielding little political clout.
Similar clusters emerged from Brighton in the south to Newcastle in the North, with most clusters outside of London funded by their member companies.
In May 2015, the UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), part of the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) cut Tech City’s funding.
However, similarities in remit between the two organisations led to a rift between Shields, who at the time, was also working as Digital Advisor to Prime Minister David Cameron and the UKTI.
Shields stepped down as CEO after holding the position for 15 months but stayed on as chairman and as a business ambassador for Britain’s technology industry.
Under Cameron’s government technology played a big part in the government’s industrial strategy, but insiders from Britain’s technology industry were unsure what impact the change in government and Brexit would have on overseas investment and immigration.
Teresa May’s government announced another 1000 exceptional talent visas but did not specifically allocate them to Tech Nation UK; instead, tech nation would have to compete with the Arts Council of England, the British Academy, the Royal Society and the Academy of Engineering.
May did, however, top-up the quangos existing £2million grant with a £21M grant over four years, which when added to the company’s net commercial revenue of £3M gave the quango a budget of £28M spread out over four years.
Following the £21M extra funding announced by Teresa May, Tech City UK rebranded as Tech Nation and widened its remit to include 11 technology clusters based in town and cities across Britain and Northern Ireland.
The announcement received a mixed reception, as May informed senior industry figures that their regional hubs would report back to a central hub in London, and Tech North, Tech City UK’s sister project would be assimilated into the new organisation.
The announcement led many entrepreneurs from outside of London to believe that the extra funding for the nationwide scheme would further centralise power in London.
These words were a blow to Tech North, which upon its launch was structured as a subsidiary of Tech Nation UK, while Tech North’s chief executive, Claire Braithwaite resigned after nine months in office with sources reporting that she objected to the centralised control of the organisation and desired autonomy from London.
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond dealt another blow to Tech North when he dropped plans to create a £30m co-investment fund during his 2017 Autumn budget.
Since the quango’s launch, smaller technology and creative companies from East London, particularly Shoreditch claim that spiralling rents, shortages of skilled workers and poor internet connectivity were pushing pre-existing start-ups out of the area.
Entrepreneurs also complained that only high-profile businesses those with links to the government were benefitting from the government’s investment in technology.
During the Spanish American wars of independence, Venezuelan leader Simón Bolívar led expeditions to overthrow government loyal to the Spanish Empire.
During the Spanish American wars of independence, Venezuelan leader Simón Bolívar overthrew the Viceroyalty of New Grenada, which was led by Juan José de Sámano y Uribarri.
After the Captaincy General of Venezuela branched from the Viceroyalty of New Grenada in 1777, the captaincy soon found itself among the Venezuelan War of Independence and the Venezuelan Declaration of Independence was made in 1811.
After Bolívar led the Admirable Campaign in 1813 and establishing the Third Republic of Venezuela, the Spanish reconquest of New Granada occurred and the Viceroyalty of New Grenada was re-established in 1816.
In 1819, Bolívar began his expedition to overthrow the Viceroyalty of New Grenada and led Venezuelan troops and British Legions into Spanish territory.
Following the Battle of Boyacá, Viceroy Juan José de Sámano y Uribarri fled to Cartagena de Indias where he was not recognized.
On 10 August 1819, Bolívar marched into Bogotá and months later during the Congress of Angostura, the State of Gran Colombia was declared on 17 December 1819.
In September 1901, Castro deployed an additional 1,200 troops along with canons, rifles and a machine gun into Colombia, with Venezuelans comprising a large portion of Liberal troops in border area.
During the Battle of Riohacha, President Castro sent a gunboat to block Conservative reinforcements from entering the city's harbor and order Venezuelan general José Antonio Dávila to manage Venezuelan troops alongside the Liberals.
Errors by Venezuelan forces resulted with Colombian reinforcements landing near Riohacha and countering the joint Liberal-Venezuelan forces, resulting in a mass retreat and a victory for the Colombian army.
In 1955, forces loyal to Costa Rican former president Rafael Calderón, backed by the Nicaraguan president Anastasio Somoza García, crossed the border from Nicaragua and invaded Costa Rica.
President Pérez Jiménez anticipated the invasion of Guyana in 1958, but was overthrown in the 1958 Venezuelan coup d'état prior to this.
Five months after Guyana's independence from the United Kingdom, Venezuela moved to occupy Ankoko Island from Guyana in October 1966, with Venezuelan troops building military installations and an airstrip on the island.
Days after Venezuela left a subcommittee discussing Guyana-Venezuela border disputes on 4 July 1968, President Leoni declared an annexation of of coastline in the Essequibo on 9 July 1968, stating that the Venezuelan Navy would enforce the area.
The rebels stated that they would grant Venezuela control of Guyana's disputed Guayana Esequiba territory and called for support from Venezuela.
According to Odeen Ishmael, rebels were transported into Venezuela by aircraft on 24 December 1968, days after the Guyanese general election, and that following their arrival, the Venezuelan Army flew the Rupununi rebels to one of their facilities on 25 December 1968 where they armed and trained them with automatic rifles and bazookas.
On 2 January 1969, rebels attacked Lethem, Guyana, killing five police officers and two civilians while also damaging buildings belonging to the Guyanese government.
Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez allegedly contributed to the election campaign of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner during the Argentine presidential elections of 2007 in an attempt to influence the election.
On 4 August 2007, Guido Alejandro Antonini Wilson, a Venezuelan-US entrepreneur of close to President Chávez, arrived in Argentina on a private plane chartered from Royal Class by Argentine and Venezuelan state officials, carrying US$790,550 in cash.
He attended the 6 August 2007 oil deal signing ceremony between President Chávez and his Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, that took place in the Casa Rosada presidential palace.
As investigations of Antonini Wilson began, he fled to the United States and began to cooperate with investigations performed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
While wearing a covert listening device Wilson was approached by two Venezuelan businessmen; Carlos Kauffmann and Franklin Durán, Moisés Maiónica a Venezuelan lawyer and José Canchica of Venezuela's spy agency, the National Directorate of Intelligence and Prevention Services (DISIP).
The lawyer also asked Antonini Wilson to sign for a $2 million receipt so Rangel Silva had proof that the cash was delivered and would not be accused of keeping the money for himself.
Finally, Maiónica said that Chávez asked PDVSA director Rafael Ramírez to manage the hush money, but later decided on Rangel Silva.
Details of the case were explained by businessman Carlos Kauffmann and lawyer Moisés Maiónica, with both testifying against Durán and pleading guilty to conspiracy.
The two testified that the $800,000 was sent from Venezuela through PDVSA to fund Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's campaign, with the plot being orchestrated by Venezuela's National Directorate of Intelligence and Prevention Services.
The president of Cube, Hiryoyuki Kitamaki made a statement regarding the news, declining all accusations made by the entertainment tabloid magazine as non factual.
The film stars Benjamin Ratner as Ted and Darcy Belsher as Johnny, an aimless pair of brothers in Montreal who regularly commit small-scale crimes with the help of Ted's girlfriend Jo (Kim Huffman).
Jo then meets Luka (Joel Bissonnette), an immigrant from the Czech Republic whom she becomes smitten with and begins to date; one day, however, a confrontation between Luka and Ted leaves Luka dead, forcing Ted into hiding while Jo has to protect him by lying to the police that Luka was the aggressor and Ted killed him in self-defense.
The film premiered on March 10, 2002 at South by Southwest, and had its Canadian premiere at the Montreal World Film Festival on August 28.
During long static scenes shot in the back alleys and diners, you can vicariously feel the scrounging and penny-pinching that went into every shot.
Even though it is set in a big city, there are never any extras, so Montreal somehow becomes a ghost town.
Ratner won the Vancouver Film Critics Circle award for Best Supporting Actor in a Canadian Film at the Vancouver Film Critics Circle Awards 2002.
It was detected in the circumstellar shell of VY Canis Majoris and in the star forming region catalogued as AFGL 5142.
The compound has been found to have been initially produced in star-forming regions, and speculated to be carried by interstellar comets throughout outer space, including to the early Earth.
In 1894 W. N. Hartley was the first to report an observation of ultraviolet emission from a phosphorus compound, that was later expanded on by Geuter.
The source of the spectral lines and bands were known to be related to phosphorus, but the exact nature was unknown.
Phosphorus was identified as a cosmically abundant element in 1998 after researchers found a cosmic ratio of phosphorus to hydrogen (P/H) of about 3×10.
Even with the prevalence of phosphorus in interstellar clouds, very few phosphorus bearing molecules had been identified and found in very few sources; phosphorus nitride, PN, and the free radical CP were found in a carbon rich envelope of IRC +10215 in 1987.
ARO's 10 m SMT was able to measure the rotational transitions of PO showing J=5.5→4.5 at 240 GHz and J=6.5→5.5 at 284 GHz toward the evolved star, each consisting of well-defined lambda-doublets.
Since the detection of PO towards the envelope of the VY CMa supergiant in 2001, PO has been found in many more interstellar clouds and is found in abundance around oxygen-rich shells.
The glow happens as PO is oxidised by one of these reactions: PO + O → PO; or PO + O →PO + O.
The possible ways that PO appears in this process is by breakup of the PO molecule which in turn may come from PO.
The WNiP cluster was oxidised by a peroxide to yield a μ-coordination, where each phosphorus atom is bound to three metal atoms.
The bond length of the PO double bond is 1.476 Å, and free PO shows an infrared vibrational frequency of 1220 cm due to the stretching of the bond.
The free radical nature of PO makes it highly reactive and unstable compared to other phosphorus oxides that have been further oxidized.
(0,0), (0,1) and (1,0) are designations for the sub-bands produced by the transition between two vibration states, as the electronic transition occurs.
The dipole moment of the molecule is 1.88 D. The phosphorus atom has a slight positive charge calculated as 0.35 of the electron.
Argonauta was the lead ship of her class of seven submarines built for the (Royal Italian Navy) during the early 1930s.
The boats were armed with six torpedo tubes, four in the bow and two in the stern for which they carried a total of 12 torpedoes.
Geppino Micheletti (July 18, 1905 – December 8, 1961) was an Italian doctor active in Pula at the end of the Second World War, and then in Narni.

Johann Baptist Placht was an Austrian soldier, clerk and confidence trickster who was indicted in 1874 for running a Ponzi scheme in 19th-century Vienna.
Since he was 36 years old at the time of his trial on 10 February 1874, he must have been born in 1837 or 1838.
He had to quit the service because of his debt and was hired as a clerk at a bank in Vienna.
Despite multiple reasonable grounds for suspecting Placht of the theft, his guilt could not be prove and he was instead fired with a severance.
In the first half of 1872, Placht began advertising his business in all major newspapers, promising investors cheap rates for orders of securities.
After being able to keep up the charade for several months by paying out new customers with the investments of old customers, his business fell apart when the stock market crashed in May of 1873 and his trades were largely fictitious.
On 10 February 1874, at age 36, he was sentenced to six years in prison on charges of fraud and embezzlement.
The gullibility and greed of his customers was emphasized as a mitigating factor by both the prosecutor and the judge as well as the stock market crash.
Contemporary reports on the trial pointed to similarities to the case of Adele Spitzeder, who had run a similar business in Munich until November 1872; Spitzeder, however, unlike Placht, never claimed to invest the money people gave her or in fact explained how she intended to make a profit at all.

Mikhail Vladimirovich Mishustin (, ; born 3 March 1966) is a Russian economist and politician serving as Prime Minister of Russia since 16 January 2020.
He was nominated for Prime Minister of the Russian Federation by President Vladimir Putin on 15 January 2020, following the resignation of Dmitry Medvedev.
Hearings on his appointment were held in the State Duma on 16 January, and he was confirmed to the office that day.
Mikhail Mishustin was born on 3 March 1966 in Lobnya, a town close to Moscow, or in Moscow itself, to the Mishustin family, Vladimir Moiseyevich and Luiza Mikhailovna.

The Society of Analytical Psychology, known also as the SAP, incorporated in London, England, in 1945 is the oldest training organisation for Jungian analysts in the United Kingdom.
The SAP is a member society of the International Association for Analytical Psychology and is regulated by the British Psychoanalytic Council.
The Tavistock Clinic led by Jung's friend and promoter of his thinking, Hugh Crichton-Miller, had an openness to different streams of research and thought and invited Jung to do a series of lectures in 1935, which were attended by doctors, churchmen and members of the public, including H. G. Wells and Samuel Beckett, but this was not to anchor his thinking directly in the institution.
The professionalisation of analytical psychology needed a number of steps: in 1936 a Medical Society of Analytical Psychology was formed within the Analytical Psychology Club.
With the influx during the 1930s of Jewish analysts of all stripes fleeing from Nazi Germany, the Jungians increased to twelve analysts.
However, in 1943 the British Medical Association had begun to lay down guidelines for treatment, including for mental health in preparation for the eventual demobilisation of medical staff.
Added to this, analysts from the British Psychoanalytical Society (founded in 1919) also congregated in the medical section of the British Psychological Society where a rapprochement began between Freudians and Jungians.
There were meetings between Kleinians, Middle Group Freudians and Jungians in the 1940s all of which helped to crystallise an impetus for the latter to establish themselves in the Psychotherapy field.
Differences between medical and lay analysts were put aside provided the medical analysts (mostly men) supervised the lay analysts (mostly women), and a new society came into being in November 1945.
The presence at the Maudsley Hospital of Jung's friend and collaborator, the psychiatrist Edward Armstrong Bennet aided the recruitment of the first intake of medical trainees at the SAP in 1947.
Among them were Alan Edwards, Robert Hobson, David Howell, Kenneth Lambert, Gordon Stuart Prince, Leopold stein and Anthony Storr.They were later joined by Frederick Plaut, J.W.T.
From the beginning the SAP training was structured on clinically professional, as opposed to purely academic, lines so that personal training analysis and supervision were separate and clinical and theoretical teaching was interrelated.
This followed closely the model adopted by the Institute of Psychoanalysis and continues to the present day and differs markedly from the approach of the training at the C.G.
Analysts loyal to the Zurich approach found this to be a deviation from 'classical' (archetypal) Jungian teaching and tensions rose in the organisation.
Kirsch has interpreted the divisions of that era within the SAP as the playing out of the differences between the rationalist philosophical bent of continental Europe, Jung was heavily influenced by Kant, and British Empiricism.
Eleiko, founded in 1928 and originally a producer of electric appliances such as waffle irons, produced its first barbell in 1957.
Eleiko is the only company certified by all three major international strength sport federations and more than 1000 world records has been set with an Eleiko barbell since 1963 Through the years Eleiko has presented several groundbreaking innovations.
Initially their main products were electric appliances such as waffle irons and toasters but in 1957 the factory supervisor approached the company’s owner Tyra Johansson with the idea of producing a barbell.
The supervisor, Mr Hellström, was himself a keen weightlifter and wanted to tackle the problem of weightlifting bars breaking all the time during competition.
Hellström made a bar of a special, hardened kind of steel and gave the knurling of the bar a waffle pattern.
The Eleiko bar was introduced in 1963 at the World Weightlifting Championships in Stockholm and it immediately revolutionized the world of weightlifting since the bar could last an entire competition without bending or cracking which had been the case prior to the introduction of Eleiko bars.
The 1000th world record was set at the World Championships in Paris in 2011 by Hristov Valentin from Azerbaijan competing in the 56 kg bodyweight category when he broke the world youth record with a lift of 154 kg Clean and Jerk.
Four years after the introduction of the Eleiko bars on the international stage, an Eleiko employee met a weightlifter who used rubber tires around his steel weights to reduce the damage and suppress the sound of weights hitting the floor.
Shortly after, a collaboration with the Halmstad Rubber Factory was born, a custom rubber mix was manufactured and in 1967 Eleiko’s first line of rubber weights was introduced.
Eleiko was certified by the International Weightlifting Federation in 1969 and has equipped more than 40 World Championships, as well as several hundred continental and regional Championships and Games and 5 Olympic Games.
In the 1980's Eleiko introduced a new version of rotating sleeves, which won immediate praise and improved weightlifters’ results by 2-3 kilos.
In the 1990's Tyra Johansson sold the company to Lennart Blomberg and the company is since then run by the Blomberg family.
Originally a supplier of weightlifting equipment to international competitions, world championships, Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, Eleiko in the beginning of the 2000's started marketing strength training equipment and courses for strength coaches, functional trainers, personal trainers and professional athletes.
In 2005 Eleiko partnered with World Para Powerlifting, in 2009 Eleiko became the sole VIP supplier for IPF World Championships and is of today the only company certified by all three major international strength sport federations.
The platform is raised off the floor and consists of layered impacts zones designed to reduce the noise associated with dropped weights during Olympic lifts.
Equipped with a reengineered, dustproof sleeve for greater longevity, refined knurling that caters for specific users and optimized rotation for performance at all loads – they instantly became widely appreciated in the weightlifting community.
The bar has an open design and a built-in stand and loading system to give more people the possibility to experience free weight training through deadlifting.
In July 2019 Eleiko signed a five-year contract with the US Army making Eleiko a preferred supplier for the US Army.
During the length of the contract Eleiko will provide a range of weightlifting, strength and performance training equipment to morale, welfare and recreation facilities in the US and garrisons around the world.
Eleiko has also been selected as the education partner for the United States Navy to further develop its NOFFS program (Navy Operational Fitness & Fueling System), train Navy health and fitness professionals and develop NOFFS Master Trainers.
Each bar is tested through a process including a 1500 kg bend test at the center and 2000 kg at the end of each bar.
The bar is placed in a vise and bent with a hydraulic jack and the bar must spring back to be exactly straight with a maximum deviation of 0.2 mm.
In the commercial segment, the company’s main markets are the Nordic countries, the United States and Germany but beginning in 2017 the company started operations in the UK and in France.
In the Nordic countries, Eleiko distributes exercise and strength training machines from other brands and is a complete supplier to professional sports clubs, colleges and universities, gyms and fitness facilities, and functional fitness centers.
The Waterwheel, in Eagle County, Colorado, is a historic device to lift water from the Colorado River to a height where it may be distributed for irrigation.

Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN) codenamed Operation Amotekun (Leopard), is a security outfit based in all the six states of the South Western, Nigeria, responsible for curbing insecurity in the region.
It was founded on 9 January 2020 in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria as the first regional security outfit initiated by a geopolitical zone in Nigeria.
Operation Amotekun (Leopard) was established on 9 January 2020 by the six state governors of all the South Western states of Nigeria, namely; Lagos State, Oyo State, Ogun State, Ondo State, Osun State and Ekiti State.
The establishment of the security outfit was subject to the decision by all the six state governors at the regional security summit held in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria on June 2019 through Development Agenda for Western Nigeria Commission (DAWN).
In support of the outfit, all the six state governors contributed 20 vehicles each, except Oyo that contributed 33 vehicles, in order to assist the operatives in carrying out their duties, making a total of 133 vehicles for the startup, they also procured 100 units of motorcycles each, making a total of 600 motorcycles.
The members of the outfit were drawn from local hunters, the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Agbekoya, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and vigilante group.
The operatives of the security outfit will assist police, other security agencies and traditional rulers in combating terrorism, banditry, armed robbery, kidnapping and also help in settling herdsmen and farmers contentions in the region.
For the startup, Lagos, Osun and Ekiti states, recruited 1,320 operatives for the operation, while they will carry dane guns like local hunters, operating in about 52 deadly blackspots all over the region.
On 13 January 2020, the Nigeria police warned that they will arrest any operative of the outfit that carries illegal arms.
On 14 January 2020, the Federal government of Nigeria declared Operation Amotekun as an illegal operation, stating that it is not backed by the Nigerian constitution.
On 23 January 2020, the vice president of Nigeria, Yemi Osinbajo, met with the six state governors of the south western Nigeria and they all agreed to work together towards the progress of Operation Amotekun.

A luxury apartment is a type of apartment that is intended to provide its occupant with higher-than-average levels of comfort, quality and convenience.
However, it can also mean any apartment with extra amenities, such as a doorman, yoga studios or bowling alleys, among others.
Competition to make the most luxurious apartment increased due to the growth of the Internet, which allowed potential buyers to cross-check apartment listings.
As of 2016, three out of every four new apartment buildings in the United States were luxury designs targeted towards high-end buyers.
It has been linked to the movement of affluent Americans away from suburbs to cities, also known as The Great Inversion.
The 2010s was marked by the construction of many new luxury condominium towers in New York City, often appealing to wealthy overseas buyers, such as One57 and Central Park Tower.

'Avrom Landy (Cleveland Ohio 1904 - 1992), was a historian, writer and theorist on American Marxism in the first half of the twentieth century.
He was the father of the American artist and researcher, the artist Professor Emeritus of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Sonia Landy Sheridan.
With the four time election of President Franklin Roosevelt, Landy joined Earl Browder, head of the CPUSA, in believing that the USA was on its own historical destiny, a democratic mix of socialism and capitalism.
Landy was an influential Marxist thinker during the 1930s and 1940s, especially through his educational and editorial work, and also through his articles in various leftist journals.

Nicolaus Georg Geve , also Claus Georg Geve ( 1712 - June 21, 1789 in Schleswig ) was a Danish painter and illustrator.
Later he made numerous trips through Germany, France and Italy to earn a living in cities and on country estates as a portrait painter.
In 1756 he applied to paint the audience room in the Lübeck town hall but this commission went to Stefano Torelli.
The work was first completely published in 1790 from his estate by the Hamburg doctor and natural scientist Johann Dominikus Schultze .
In 1759 he married Catharina Dorothea Zöllner, a daughter of the decorative painter Johann Martin Zöllner in Copenhagen, who had been a chambermaid of Louise of Denmark until the Princess died in 1756 .

In 1981 Randlett assumed office after a long hold on the Mayor's office by Ted Bates, after a heated campaign against him.
Randlett spent much of his term in office fighting the City Council and some department heads; occasionally, those conflicts were settled in court at the expense of Warren's taxpayers.
He returned to his ministry work in eastern Maryland, but resigned from the Jesuit order, becoming a diocesan priest, because the eastern part of Maryland had been transferred from the Archdiocese of Baltimore, where the Jesuits operated, to the Diocese of Wilmington.
He became the Jesuit mission priest at St. Joseph's Church in Cordova, Maryland, which served the rural Maryland counties of Talbot, Queen Anne's, Kent, Caroline, and Dorchester, as well as Kent and Sussex counties in Delaware as a priest from 1867 to 1870.
Henchy was appointed to succeed John Early in 1870 as president of Loyola College in Maryland and pastor of St. Ignatius Church.
His presidency lasted only six months, however, as he became ill and retired in January 1871, and was succeeded by Stephen A. Kelly.
However, in 1868, ecclesiastical jurisdiction over the part of Maryland east of the Chesapeake Bay region had been transferred from the Archdiocese of Baltimore, in which the Jesuits operated, to the newly erected Diocese of Wilmington.
Therefore, in order to continue ministering to the Catholics there, he left the Society of Jesus, and became a diocesan priest.
In this capacity, he ministered to the area again from 1874 to 1878, as the pastor of the Church of Saints Peter & Paul in Easton, Maryland.
Another topic that has been discussed is whether the poem is coherent, or whether it fails to have a unified theme.
In Iran, a famous anecdote was told of how the Mongol conquerer Timur (Tamerlane) met Hafez and criticised him for writing so disrespectfully of Bokhara and Samarkand in this poem.
If this meeting took place, which is not certain, it must have been during Tamerlane's first visit to Shiraz in 1387, two years before Hafez's death.
It has been argued that the poem is likely to have been written after 1370, when Tamerlane began to develop Samarkand and make it famous as his capital; that is, it was probably written later in Hafez's life, since in 1370 he was 53 or 55.
The transliteration given here is based on that approved by the United Nations in 2012, which represents the current pronunciation of educated speakers in Iran, except that to make scansion easier, the long vowels are marked with a macron (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū).
In the other manuscripts verses 6, 7, and 8 are found in various orders: 7, 8, 6; 8, 7, 6; and 6, 8, 7.
Bashiri (1979) argued that verses 6 and 7 are interpolations, and Rehder (1974) suggested that one or both of verses 4 and 8 might be spurious.
In fact, however, although in the great Persian narrative epics and romances the love interest was always female, there was also a long tradition of love poetry in Persian in which, in the great majority of cases, the person whose beauty was praised was male.
Among the poets who wrote love poems of this kind were Farrokhi (11th century), Manuchehri (11th century), Sanai (12th century), Anvari (12th century), Iraqi (13th century), Saadi (13th century) and Awhadi (14th century).
In poems of the early part of the period the object of the poet's love was often a soldier; later he became any kind of adolescent youth, but military metaphors continued to be used to describe the effect his beauty had on the poet.
In a tradition which started with Ahmad Ghazali (11th–12th century) brother of the more famous Mohammad al-Ghazali, and which continued in the Sufi poets Attar (12th century) and Iraqi (13th century), mystical doctrines were often expressed using the idioms of love poetry, in accordance with Ghazali's teaching that the contemplation of a beautiful youth was a way to contemplate the beauty of God.
One of those who interpreted it mystically is Clarke (1895), who explains that the Turk symbolises God, Samarkand and Bukhara signify this world and the next, the wine is the mysteries of love, and so on.
Similarly in the 16th century, the Turkish commentator on Hafez, Ahmed Sudi, adopted a literal approach to Hafez's poetry, rejecting the excessively mystical interpretations of his predecessors Sürūrī and Şemʿī.
According to Bashiri, both poems speak of the seven stages of Love an initiate must go through to achieve union with the Divine (loss of heart, regret, ecstasy, loss of patience, loss of consciousness, loss of mind, annihilation).
Arberry (1946) points out that most of the features of this ode are traditional stock motifs from Persian love poetry, and he quotes some lines of Saadi where the same themes recur.
Other features of the poem, such as the tumult of love, the story of Yusof and Zoleykha, the piercing of pearls (to make a necklace of verses), are also commonly found in Hafez and other poets.

Galactic Warrior Rats is a video game developed by Mikev Design, published by Summit Software and released in 1992 for the Amiga and ported to DOS in 1993.
Three laboratory rats named Einstein, Newton and Darwin are on board a spaceship, when unexpectedly the spaceship crashes into a mysterious planet called Smeaton Five.
The three rats venture through the planet's dangerous complex to destroy any defense robot that gets in their way and ultimately shut down the core computer to save Smeaton Five and themselves.
The 1434 oath was taken by members of the English gentry and swore them to refrain from harbouring law-breakers and other breakers of the King's Peace.
The nobility had already taken a similar oath in the House of Lords the previous year at the instigation of the Commons, which also took the oath on the same day.
On 20 January the parliament's Knights of the Shire were instructed to compose and submit to Chancery a list of those property holders who qualified in their constituencies.
The oath was a response to a perceived increase in lawlessness in the regions, which itself was seen as having been caused by illegal retaining.
Although Mowbray had sworn with the other lords in 1433, his behaviour, which seems to have been riotous, had continued in the same manner.
The fact that the oath was deemed necessary indicates the extent to which law and order was considered to have collapsed in the regions.
Christian Liddy, in a study of the oath-taking in the Palatinate of Durham suggests that the oath was not confined to the gentry class.
Christine Carpenter had similar results in her examination of Warwickshire society, discovering that wealth was not a critical factor in deciding who took the oath.
For example, Sir Thomas Ferrers appears in the tax return of 1436–indicating he was considered wealthy enough to be taxed—but he was not summoned to take the oath takers two years previously.
Figures available from the Kentish oath-taking, for instance, indicate that around a third of those who swore the oath in Kent were yeomen rather than gentry.
The numbers of men called upon also varied wildly between areas; those from Kent numbered over 300, for example, while Lancashire swore less than 80.
For some individuals of the period events such as the 1434 oath are the only occasion on which they appear on the historical record.

The Lower Lea Valley Cable Tunnels, known as the PLUG (Power Line Under Ground) Project during construction, are a pair of 6 km cable tunnels running beneath the lower Lea Valley in east London.
Constructed at a cost of £130m ahead of the 2012 London Olympic Games, they are owned by National Grid plc and UK Power Networks.
One tunnel is 4.15m in diameter and carries a 400 kV circuit as part of the National Grid, while the other tunnel is 2.82m in diameter and carries a 132 kV circuit as part of the London power distribution network.
The tunnels replaced two overground power lines which crossed the area which would be turned into the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
The cable tunnels were one of the first major projects for the London Olympics, and was critical to allow subsequent work on the Olympic Park to continue on schedule.
More than 200,000 cubic metres of spoil was generated, the majority of which was reused in the construction of the Olympic Park.
Scott Spinelli is an American college basketball coach who is currently an assistant coach of the Boston College men's basketball team.
He is a 1989 graduate of Boston University, where he was a member of the basketball team under coach Mike Jarvis, helping the Terriers advance to the NCAA tournament in 1988.
Widely regarded as one of the top assistant coaches in college basketball, Spinelli has earned a reputation as an excellent recruiter and game tactician during a career that has seen him have success at every level of basketball.
He began his coaching career on the prep level in 1990 at Milford Academy, where he spent three seasons as head coach and coached several Division I prospects.
In 1993, Spinelli started the basketball program at The Winchendon School in Winchendon, Mass., where in the first three years of the program's history, he led them to two appearances in the NEPSAC Class A Tournament championship game.
Spinelli also produced numerous Division I players at Winchendon, including former McDonald's All-American Randell Jackson, who played in the NBA with the Washington Wizards and Dallas Mavericks.
The Shockers were ranked as high as #8 in the AP Poll and were victorious over George Mason, LSU and Syracuse on the road.
After former Texas A&M head men's basketball coach Billy Gillispie left to coach at Kentucky, Turgeon was immediately hired as head coach of the Aggies on April 10, 2007, thus bringing Spinelli with him to serve as his top assistant.
The program also won the 2007 NIT Preseason Tip-Off and earned a berth to the NCAA Tournament all four years, while advancing to the round of 32 in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
In May 2011, Turgeon met with his coaching staff and players to inform them that half an hour earlier he accepted the head coach position at the University of Maryland.
While at Maryland, Spinelli helped the program land three recruiting classes, all nationally ranked in the top 25, including a top 10 class in 2014.
They were also the only program in the country to beat Duke twice in that season, with Spinelli having the game scout each time.
In 2014, it was announced that Spinelli had accepted an assistant coaching position at Boston College under head coach Jim Christian.
During the 2017-2018 season, the Eagles knocked off #1 ranked Duke, marking the third time in Spinelli's career that his scouting report took down the Blue Devils.
He has a great command and passion in his ability to recruit top level talent, but also develop and motivate that talent to reach its full potential.
He is one of the main reasons I’m able to fulfill my dream of playing in the NBA.” Middleton scored a career-high 51 points in a Bucks win over the Washington Wizards on January 28th, 2020.
As an assistant coach under Turgeon at Maryland, Spinelli recruited current Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len and Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jake Layman.
In his current position at Boston College, Spinelli was the lead recruiter of current Los Angeles Clippers forward Jerome Robinson and Golden State Warriors guard Ky Bowman.
Robinson was drafted with the 13th overall pick in the 2018 draft, becoming the first ever lottery pick out of Boston College.
While many may have visions, Coach Spinelli also has the knowledge, experience, and positive energy that kept me focused and working not only towards achieving my dream of playing in the NBA, but making me a complete athlete, socially & academically.
The women's 400 metres hurdles event at the 1987 Summer Universiade was held at the Stadion Maksimir in Zagreb on 13 and 14 July 1987.
The allied goal was to substitute all teachers influenced by a Nazi past in German schools and guarantee that the German youth would receive a pro-democracy education (→ Reeducation and Denazification.
For the recovery of education after the end of the Second World War in Germany, the path to teaching was opened to graduates through short courses, and in the Soviet occupation zone also to young workers.
All persons who could demonstrate having an academic degree were accepted into the program, as long as they had no link with the Nazi Party or with its state organs.
The program mainly taught pedagogy as it was known at the time, so that in a few months the students could work as teachers.
In the Soviet occupation zone the courses normally lasted 4 to 8 months, often in specially designed schools, where young workers were specially promoted.
Although in the first school year a few teachers with a Nazi past were still tolerated, the directives for their stay in their jobs gradually became more strict.
Although the old teachers questioned the quality of a professional retraining of at maximum one year, thanks to the general academical formation of the new teachers the result was good enough and allowed for a stable job for members of professions that had no other alternatives in post-war Germany.
In the Soviet occupation zone the introduction of new teachers also served to guarantee the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) control over school education.
47.7% of these teachers belonged to the SED, and 13% to the LDP and 10% to the east German Christian Democratic Union, the later two being bloc parties under SED control.

The grand prize is R$1.5 million with tax allowances, plus a R$150.000 prize offered to the runner-up and a R$50.000 prize offered to the housemate in third place.
On week 2, 4 new housemates entered the game as part of a twist, bringing the number of housemates up to 22.
In order to celebrate the show's 20th season anniversary, competitions and twists from previous seasons will be revived and scattered again this year.
This season, each housemate will be able to use a cellphone to capture moments in the house during a time determined by production.
The cell phone will only allow them to post photos and videos to #FeedBBB and see what other housemates are saying about each other.
Along with it's regular powers, this season the HoH will also be tasked with splitting their housemates into haves and have-nots as well as choosing what and how much each group will be eating.
On day 1, 18 housemates entered the Big Brother house, divided by a wall with Celebrities on one side and Civilians on the other.
Each week, two nominated housemates (either by a House vote or a voting twist) compete against each other for one last chance to save themselves from the block.
On day 12, four additional housemates entered the Glass house where the public voted for two of them (one man and one woman) to move into the main House.
Once in a while, the Big Phone rings, unleashing good or bad consequences on the nomination process for those who decide to answer it.
At the beggining of each week, the previous Head of Household is given the opportunity to disqualify some housemates from competing in the upcoming HoH competition.

Each film is about one minute long and follows personified hands as they perform a small skit or a visual illusion.
The series was shot in black and white, with the exception of the vanity card that appears at the end of each film.
The series' opening sequence was filmed entirely under blacklight; the performers wore blacklight-reactive white gloves and dark clothing to create the illusion of hands floating through space.
In the shorts proper, the background was also entirely black, but the puppeteers' hands were bare and certain set pieces were made visible through the use of followspots on particular stage areas.
A Nickelodeon vanity card (shot in color, unlike the rest of the segments) was created for the films after Nick acquired them.
Pablo Haro Hernanz (born 17 June 1997) is a Spanish footballer who plays for UD Las Palmas Atlético as a right winger.
Born in Segovia, Castile and León, Haro moved to Seville, Andalusia at early age and represented UD Bellavista and AD Nervión as a youth.
Haro made his first team debut for the Canarians on 17 December 2019, starting in a 2–0 away defeat of CD Castellón, for the season's Copa del Rey.
He made his Segunda División debut the following 14 January, coming on as a late substitute for Fabio González in a 0–1 home loss against Real Zaragoza.
After working a few years in his family business, he pursued a Doctorate in educational psychology first at the University of Michigan and received his degree from the University of Iowa by 1935.
Wenger worked as a research assistant at the University of Chicago where he examined children with abnormal mental health problems, working with his colleague F. N. Freeman on a test battery that was used within a longitudinal study that focused on mental development.
In 1944, he was asked by J.P. Guliford to work for the Santa Ana Army Air Force Team as a research assistant.
He finally joined the Department of Psychology at University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1945 where he worked until his retirement in the mid-70’s.
He contributed his own original work in psychophysiology when he published Studies of Autonomic Balance in Army Air Forces Personnel in 1948.
What sparked interest in conducting this research was the examination of a previous study done at the Fels Research Institute of Antioch College in 1941.
In this previous study, researchers examined child participants and how certain environmental factors affected their autonomic nervous system and system of skeletal musculature.
Neither of these factors were reasonably measured to an adequate level before it was put on hold due to World War II escalating; however, researchers saw a great deal of promise and potential in future tests.
After the war concluded, psychologists working for the Army Air Forces (Dr. Wenger included) reexamined the study that was done at the Fels Research Institute.
They believed that this study could be applied to the Army Air Forces as a way to rule out unqualified recruits.
It was already known by pilot instructors that excess tension in a pilot’s muscles can lead to adverse effects upon their ability to fly a plane.
Instructors also understood that a pilot needs to have stable emotions and immense concentration especially when maneuvering in a dangerous environment such as a warzone.
There was very little research in relation to adults and the factors of muscle tension and autonomic balance previous to his monograph.
Some of the measures he observed were measurements such as white blood count, blood sugar, finger temperature, height-weight ratio, oxygen consumption.
Wenger’s research for the Army Air Forces helped to not only pave the way for a strong test battery for air force recruitments but also to solidify psychophysiology as a key division in psychology.
Both works paved the way for how modern researchers see the connection between emotions and the autonomic nervous system and helped create a foundation for psychophysiology and progressed further understanding of emotional behavior in humans.
During the McCarthy era, teaching staff and research assistants were forced to sign a contract stating that they would remain loyal to the state.
Dr. Wenger took the initiative to persuade his fellow staff to sign the oath, especially students that needed state funding in order to allow them to stay at the university.
In protest of the forced oath of loyalty, Dr. Wenger stepped down from his position as chair of psychology; hence, showing his dedication to the scientific community.
Rolon v. Kulwitzky (Court of Appeals of California, Second District, Division 4, B002051; March 20, 1984) was an unlawful discrimination case filed by Deborah Johnson and Zandra Rolón, a lesbian couple, against a Los Angeles restaurant, Papa Choux, after they were refused seating in a semi-private booth.
The lower court denied the plaintiffs a preliminary injunction in their action for unlawful discrimination, but the Court of Appeals reversed the lower court, holding that the restaurant engaged in prohibited discrimination.
On January 3, 1983, Deborah Johnson and Zandra Rolón arrived at Papa Choux restaurant in Los Angeles, having made a prior reservation.
The couple, both lesbian activists of color who had been involved in promoting LGBT rights in the area during the 1970s and 1980s, were kicking off their first full weekend together as a couple in honor of Martin Luther King's birthday, which had just been declared a national holiday.
However, the two women were not provided with menus, and after waiting for a while were confronted by the maitre d' and then the restaurant manager, who told them that they could not be served there, and that the booths were reserved for heterosexual couples only.
The exchange escalated to a shouting match, as the activists refused to vacate the booth and the restaurant employees maintaining that serving them was against the law.
They approached civil rights attorney Gloria Allred, who filed a suit for damages for violation of the Unruh Civil Rights Act, which protects against discrimination based on sex or sexual orientation by businesses, as well as a preliminary injunction prohibiting the restaurant from continuing with their discriminatory policy.
The restaurant never denied the practice, and in several newspaper interviews, the manager, Walter Kulwitzky, and owner, Seymour Jacoby, were quoted as preferring to go to jail rather than obeying a court order to serve same-sex couples, should such an order be issued.
The appellate court held that the Unruh Civil Rights Act does prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, and that Chapter IV, article 12, of the Los Angeles Municipal Code specifically prohibits such discrimination in the provision of services by businesses.
The court also rejected the defendants/respondents' central argument about protecting other diners, as the lesbian couple was offered service in the open seating area, where they could be seen by all restaurant patrons, and were only denied service in the private booth.
Johnson and Rolón returned to the lower court to get the requested injunction, which was issued, as well as their damages of $250 each (the amount of the requisite municipal fine).
The defendants were also required to pay the plaintiff's attorney's fees for the legal action surrounding the case, which amounted to nearly $30,000.
Rather than comply with the law and serve same-sex couples in the romantic booths, the restaurant decided to eliminate the intimate seating area altogether.
The legal significance of the case was that it was the first instance in which a court held that California’s civil rights bill includes a prohibition of discrimination by businesses on the basis of sexual orientation.
The case has been cited as a precedent in other cases on LGBT discrimination, including before the United States Supreme Court.
Since then, the case has been included in school, university and law school curricula and books about civil rights and LGBT history.
It occurs at altitudes up to about , typical habitats including wet or moist lowland rainforest, mesophyll forest and montane wet forest.
It lives in colonies underground and this subterranean existence means it is poorly represented in ant surveys; it has been found most often by sifting through leaf litter, but has occasionally been observed under stones or visiting bait.
The fact that it is much more common than might be expected from survey results is shown by the vast swarms of males that were seen twice in 1991 at La Selva Biological Station during the wet season.
The ants move the nest upwards and downwards according to the conditions of the soil, descending deeper when the ground becomes dry.
The nests have multiple queens, either because they were founded by several newly-mated reproductives, or because they have recruited further queens since their foundation.
The women's 400 metres event at the 1987 Summer Universiade was held at the Stadion Maksimir in Zagreb on 13 and 15 July 1987.
It was released for purchase on 7 July 2004 through Columbia and Sony Music, as a CD single and digital download.
The song ranked in the top-ten for seven weeks, and remained on the chart for twenty non-consecutive weeks until its final appearance on 2 December 2004.
Milborne Wick's mission church was built as a chapel of ease to the parish church of St John the Evangelist at Milborne Port.
A major benefactor was Sir Edward Bradford Medlycott, who gave a 99 year lease for the land, donated a sum of money and also granted building stone from his quarries.
Plans for the church were drawn up by Mr. Henry Hall of London and it was built by Mr. A. Hallett of Milborne Port with Mr. Alfred Reynolds as clerk of the works.
The cost of the church amounted to almost £400, which discounting the donation of building material and furnishings, was raised by public subscription.
A credence table of polished marble and stone was installed at the church in 1892 by Mr. Reynolds in memory of his wife.
Many of the 1891 fittings were gifted by local residents, including the west window by Mr. Hyde, a bell by Mr. Smith and the altar desk by Lady Medlycott.

George Tiesenhausen Helmold's son pledged this property in 1570 to Fromhold Ungern for 2000 marks, who seemed to have ceded his right to George Tolcke Von Fromhold Tiesenhausen redeemed his widow, who was married to Johann Neutstedt in a second marriage.
In 1594 Lubey estate was confiscated at the beginning of the Swedish rule along with other Tiesenhausen estates because the owner had followed the Poles.
On September 1, 1667, the assessor Johann Gottfried von Falckenberg sold Lubey to the Landrath and Colonel Otto von Mengden, whose grand son the General Lieutenant and Landrath Carl Friedrich Baron Mengden, for 5500 Thaler Alb, sold to the Landrath Valentin Johann von Krüdener.
Minister Burchard Alerius Constantin von Krüdener surrendered both estates on September 7, 1784 for 19,000 thalers to the district administrator Ludwig Wilhelm Grafen Mannteufel the Lubey united with the Gut Bersohn with which it has remained associated since then.

During Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003, the Iraqi Air Force essentially stood down except in a few cases of self-defence against US and British air strikes.
Most Iraqi Air Force aircraft in various conditions from being flyable to abandoned hulks (a large number were buried) were seized by the United States and its coalition partners, however it is known that Syrian and Iranian agents were busy removing radars and items from the avionics bays and cockpits.
By autumn 2004 only some 20–25 unserviceable wrecks of Iraqi aircraft and helicopters were left scattered around the many Iraqi airfields.
The destruction of the Iraqi Air Force was probably one of the most complete such actions in the history of military aviation.
They may form the organization of a new Iraqi Air Force equipped with surplus United States F-16, C-130 and other light aircraft.
Kwang Ju Air Base, Suwon Air Base and Taegu Air Base had previously been announced as ending operations, but would instead operate at reduced levels.
USAF aircraft transit each base, with the personnel providing transient support and maintain USAF equipment stored at each base in case of an emergency for reactivation in which ACC and other units would deploy to them.
Note: As part of a mutual defense pact, the Republic of China (Taiwan) permitted United States forces, to utilize many ROC bases between 1957–1979.
Deployments ended in 1979 as part of the drawdown of United States military forces in Asia after the end of the Vietnam War and the United States' transfer of diplomatic relations from the Republic of China (Taiwan) to the People's Republic of China in 1979.
** Note: Although active USAF use at U-Tapao ended in 1976, USAF and other DoD personnel have been temporarily deployed to the base for contingency operations in South Asia in the years since.
Also U-Tapao supports various Foreign Military Sales in South Asia and DoD military personnel assigned to United States diplomatic postings in the region.

Dependency networks (DNs) are graphical models, similar to Markov networks, wherein each vertex (node) corresponds to a random variable and each edge captures dependencies among variables.
In a Bayesian network, the Markov blanket of a node is the set of parents and children of that node, together with the children's parents.
However, its children's parents also have to be included in the Markov blanket, because they can be used to explain away the node in question.
In particular, they are easier to parameterize from data, as there are efficient algorithms for learning both the structure and probabilities of a dependency network from data.
Nonetheless, it is possible to construct non-consistent dependency networks, i.e., dependency networks for which there is no compatible valid joint probability distribution.
A consistent dependency network for a set of random variables formula_1 with joint distribution formula_2 is a pair formula_3 where formula_4 is a cyclic directed graph, where each of its nodes corresponds to a variable in formula_5, and formula_6 is a set of conditional probability distributions.
It comes from observation that the local distribution for variable formula_7 in a dependency network is the conditional distribution formula_14, which can be estimated by any number of classification or regression techniques, such as methods using a probabilistic decision tree, a neural network or a probabilistic support-vector machine.
Hence, for each variable formula_7 in domain formula_16, we independently estimate its local distribution from data using a classification algorithm, even though it is a distinct method for each variable.
For each variable formula_7 in formula_5, a probabilistic decision tree is learned where formula_7 is the target variable and formula_20 are the input variables.
Then, each leaf node in the tree is replaced with a binary split on some variable formula_22 in formula_20, until no more replacements increase the score of the tree.
A probabilistic inference is the task in which we wish to answer probabilistic queries of the form formula_24, given a graphical model for formula_5, where formula_26 (the 'target' variables) formula_27 (the 'input' variables) are disjoint subsets of formula_5.
A naive approach for this uses an ordered Gibbs sampler, whose an important difficult is that if either formula_24 or formula_30 is small, then many iterations are required for an accurate probability estimate.
Another approach for estimating formula_24 when formula_30 is to use modified ordered Gibbs sampler, where it fix formula_33 during Gibbs sampling.
So, the law of total probability along with the independencies encoded in a dependency network can be used to decompose the inference task into a set of inference tasks on single variables.
You can see below an algorithm that can be used for obtain formula_36 for a particular instance of formula_37 and formula_38, where formula_26 and formula_27 are disjoint subsets.
In addition to the applications to probabilistic inference, the following applications are in the category of Collaborative Filtering (CF), which is the task of predicting preferences.
Dependency networks are a natural model class on which to base CF predictions, once an algorithm for this task only needs estimation of formula_58 to produce recommendations.

The Penn Valley Redevelopment Project was a 1971 plan to demolish homes in Kansas City’s Valentine Neighborhood and to replace them with a multimillion-dollar office and residential complex.
The case was presented to the Kansas City City Plan Commission on April 1, 1971 and was unanimously defeated despite approval by the city staff.
Bixby also mentioned that he believed the creation of Penn Valley Community College in 1969 foreshadowed that the area would become more commercial.
On September 7, 1972, a lawsuit was filed by Cigas and six others alleging that Kansas City Life perpetrated a scheme of buying property and allowing them to deteriorate and then demolishing them leaving vacant spaces throughout the area.
The suit further charged that Kansas City Life falsely stated that the Valentine neighborhood was a blighted, unsanitary, crime-ridden, deteriorated area and as a result, homeowners were unable to use their property as security for mortgage loans.
In 1984, Miller Nichols, Chairman of the J.C. Nichols Company, commented that he saw a need for more executive homes in the midtown Kansas City area because of plans by several developers to construct office space.
Joseph R. Bixby, President of Kansas City Life, built a large Spanish-style home at 3530 Pennsylvania, across from the Kansas City Life headquarters.
One might speculate that it was a show home for such a plan, but it was actually built several years before Nichols' remarks.
When the Valentine Neighborhood Association was created, the western boundary was Southwest Trafficway, the eastern boundary was Pennsylvania Avenue, the northern boundary was 33rd Street and the southern boundary was Valentine Road.
The VNA has since expanded its eastern boundary to Broadway Blvd, and its northern boundary to 31st Street to include Penn Valley Community College.
Both the Panhandle Eastern Building (later bought by MGE) and the Broadway-Valentine Shopping Center (now called the Uptown Shoppes) began redevelopment projects in 2019 to convert them to mixed-use residential and small retail.

Graciela Bográn Rodríguez was born on 19 October 1896 in San Nicolás, Santa Bárbara, Honduras to Petrona Rodríguez and Marco Antonio Bográn.
Her family descended from Romain Beuagrand (Román Bográn), a French colonel from Brittainy, who arrived in Honduras in the early 19th century, and through him was related to both presidents Luis Bográn and Francisco Bográn.
After completing her primary education, Bográn graduated from the Escuela Normal de Señoritas (Ladies Normal School) in 1914 and began working as a teacher.
Most Honduran women in the 1920s and 1930s, were not supporters of women's enfranchisement as it did not have a historic basis in the Honduran culture, where social and economic subordination were seen more as a class struggle, or simply accepted.
This changed in the 1940s, when Bográn and other feminists saw the advantages to voting as a means to bring more democratic governance to the country.
Because she was working as a labor organizer in the northern part of the country, she was suspected of teaching communist doctrine as an agent for Vicente Lombardo Toledano, a Mexican Marxist labor leader.
That same year, she and Rodolfo Pastor Zelaya, a founder of the Revolutionary Democratic Party of Honduras led a pro-democracy demonstration in San Pedro Sula in protest to the arrests of citizens calling for the ouster of President Tiburcio Carías Andino.
The right to vote in Honduras was secured for literate women in 1955 and women were able to vote the following year for the first time.

The Reichstag Bloodbath () occurred on January 13, 1920, in front of the Reichstag building in Berlin during negotiation by the Weimar National Assembly on the Works Council Act ().
The event was a historic event from which was overshadowed two months later by the Kapp Putsch but remained in Berlin's labour movement and security forces' collective memory.
The left-wing German political parties the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD) and Communist Party of Germany (KPD) backed the workers who wanted unrestricted organizing powers.
Between September 1919 and January 1920, the Reich Government, which was led by the Social Democrats and in continued cooperation with the Army Command, was specially set up in Berlin to protect the existing order, because the existing Berlin police force during the November Revolution and during the Spartacus uprising had failed.
Smaller Sipoverbände with machine guns were stationed in the Reichstag building, bigger front of the entrance of the building at King Square and along Samson Street.
On January 13th, starting at around 12 noon, most of the large companies in Berlin stopped working; these include, for example, AEG, Siemens, Daimler and Knorr-Bremse.
The workers moved to the inner city on Königsplatz in front of the Reichstag, but many only came to the adjacent side streets due to the crowds.
Before the President of the Reichstag, Fehrenbach, opened at 3:19 PM, demonstrators in several places had begun to taunt Sipo men, to push them away, this quickly escalated into groups of protestors disarming and abusing the Sipo guards.
Conversely, the police fought back with the pistol blows of their carbines; but individual officers were reprimanded by their superiors for these actions.
In the meantime, the USPD MPs in the plenary either asked for the Sipo to be withdrawn from the building or for the debate to be closed.
MPs who were now watching the tumult on the Königsplatz from the windows of the Reichstag were threatened with revolvers by excited demonstrators.
Members of the metalworkers' union immediately took the gun from the gunman - apparently captured by the Sipo - and beat him up.
One version, represented among others by the then Chancellor Gustav Bauer, blamed the escalation on the demonstrators and especially the organizers.
According to this, around 4:00 p.m. demonstrators tried to enter the building, whereupon the Sipo on Königsplatz opened fire and threw hand grenades at the rally participants.
Almost all the dead and injured were found south of the Reichstag, on the opposite sidewalk and in the adjacent zoo, according to reports from various sides.
After the shots broke out the crowd fled in panic, the Sipo fired several more minutes with their rifles and machine guns.
The figures for the victims vary between 42 dead and 105 injured on the part of the demonstrators and around 20 dead, including one police officer, and around 100 injured, including 15 police officers.
Only a tiny minority supported the request, but stormy protests by the USPD led to another interruption at 4:37 p.m. After the reopening at 5:09 p.m. Fehrenbach, who had now taken note of the fatalities, closed the trial at 5:11 p.m.

Liang Jun (; 1930 – 14 January 2020) was a female tractor driver who became a folk hero and model worker in Communist China.
Liang was born in 1930 in Mingshui County, Heilongjiang; her family were peasants and so gave her to a nearby landlord to be a child bride when she was twelve.
In 1948, the province began a tractor driving course, and Mengya was given three places for their students; Liang signed up, not knowing she was the only female until it began.
Liang is popularly seen as China's first female tractor driver, though this may not entirely be the case: before the PRC promoted Liang as such, other women may have been training to drive tractors in other parts of the country.
Her rise to notoriety involved stories spreading across the country that she, a woman, took tractors out to explore the wilderness.
Liang's story inspired other women to become tractor drivers, and the first all-female team was formed in 1950, with Liang made its leader.
In 1951, the local government funded Liang to receive further training from the newly-created Beijing Agricultural Machinery Academy, and the Beijing Agricultural Mechanization College in 1952.

It is of a unique, somewhat egg-shaped design, an oval with the ends of very different configurations, altered to accommodate the resident landowner who didn’t want his nearby minnow pond disturbed.
This situation makes it very challenging for the crews to set up their cars' handling in a way that will be effective at both ends.
The track's first two turns are banked at twenty-five degrees, while the final two turns are banked two degrees lower at twenty-three degrees.
Darlington has something of a legendary quality among drivers and older fans; this is probably due to its long track length relative to other NASCAR speedways of its era and hence the first venue where many of them became cognizant of the truly high speeds that stock cars could achieve on a long track.
The track allegedly earned the moniker The Lady in Black because the night before the race the track maintenance crew would cover the entire track with fresh asphalt sealant, in the early years of the speedway, thus making the racing surface dark black.
Dale Earnhardt had the dominent car of the race but on lap 317 he spun which not only brought out the caution flag but also damaged his engine which led to him dropping out of the race.
Cale Yarborough led until his car started billowing smoke from his power steering leading to one the races last caution flags leaving Bill Elliott in the lead and claiming the Winston Million.

24S-HC is produced by a hydroxy group substitution at carbon number 24 in cholesterol, catalyzed by the enzyme cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (CYP46A1).
24S-HC binds to apolipoproteins such as apoE, apoJ, and apoA1 to form HDL-like complexes which can cross the blood-brain barrier more easily than free cholesterol.
After entering general blood circulation and traveling to the liver, 24S-HC can be sulfated, glucuronidated, or converted into bile acids, which can ultimately be excreted.
24S-HC levels sensed by LXRs can regulate the expression of SREBP mRNA and protein, which in turn regulate cholesterol synthesis and fatty acid synthesis.
Regulation of 24S-HC metabolism in neurons may play a role in their health and function, as well as their response to injury or disease.
Blood plasma levels of 24S-HC may be altered after acute brain injuries such as stroke or in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis.

Dr Eric Westbrook, CB, (1915–2005) was a British-born Australian artist, curator and gallery director of Auckland City Art Gallery and the National Gallery of Victoria.
In childhood, he accompanied is father, a businessman in the textile industry, on his travels in Europe and waiting for him in museums, an experience which made a lasting impression on his love of art and of galleries.
He was taught by Walter Sickert and Mark Gertler in painting courses at art schools including Battersea, Clapham and Westminster School of Art, and supported his studies by working as a telephone operator.
Despite being scholarship winner, he decided he could make a better contribution as a connoisseur than as a painter, and went to Paris in 1934, at age nineteen, to tour its galleries and to see contemporary art.
During WW2, and after graduating from art school, he was rejected for service in the infantry on the grounds of 'puniness' and instead worked in intelligence liaison and army education.
He took up art teaching after the war for the London County Council before being appointed art master at Ardingly College, Sussex.
This led to work for the Arts Council of Great Britain as one of four guide lecturers touring Britain with art exhibitions, and in another role he set up art education for the army and advised the YMCA Youth Clubs in Britain.
The exhibition attracted controversial attention when president of the Royal Academy of Arts Alfred Munnings in his 1949 radio-broadcast valedictory speech in 1949 attacked Modernism, identifying Moore as an offending artist.
This led three years later to Westbrook being invited to join the Fine Arts Department of the British Council as chief exhibitions officer, arranging traveling exhibitions on British to most European countries, and twice in charge of the British pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
While in Greece during one of these tours, he was informed that Auckland City Art Gallery was seeking a new director.
For the next four and a half years as director at Auckland he was innovative in exhibitions and expanding activities of the gallery in other arts by inaugurating poetry readings, concerts and summer schools, lecturing and broadcaster.
In 1955 with Daryl Lindsay’s impending retirement as director of the National Gallery of Victoria, Westbrook was invited to apply for the position and he was appointed on 1 January 1956, aged forty-one years, on a salary of £1,868 p.a.
Negotiating with a new Victorian Government, he worked to restructure the gallery and increase staffing, raising the profile of the Gallery through his lectures and on the media.
Study leave on a Carnegie Fellowship in 1965 led him in 1967 to establish the NGV voluntary guide service as an interactive and friendly means of introducing audiences to art in institutions which they may find daunting.
Westbrook retired from the National Gallery of Victoria in 1975 and until 1980 he headed the Victorian Ministry for the Arts, moving then with his second wife non-objective painter Dawn Sime to Castlemaine.

The Drummonds and Jacksons are acquaintances with Mr. Horton, who owns a bicycle shop from which the family regularly rents bikes from.
Arnold Jackson is interested in buying a bike, but there is skepticism from his father, Phillip Drummond, as well as his siblings, Willis Jackson and Kimberly Drummond.
However, Arnold's pleading plus a deal to purchase a bicycle for a third lower than the actual price offered by Horton influences Phillip to buy it for his son's birthday.
Arnold comes home later than usual that night, which is noticed by Phillip as well as Kimberly and Willis; however, Arnold's lie about getting pretzels before he got home is enough for his relatives to think little of it.
Arnold brings Dudley to his next private meeting with Horton, but it is too rainy for Arnold to ride around the park.
Arnold then realizes the possibility of his father smelling wine breath on him; despite chewing a mouth-full of mint gum offered by Horton to hide the scent, the plan fails, as Kimberly and Willis notice the smells.
This forces Arnold to confess that Mr. Horton offered him the wine, along with the other graphic content he showed Arnold and Dudley.
This plus revealing that Dudley is still at the shop triggers Phillip into action, calling the police to raid the place.

Gusen was a subcamp of Mauthausen concentration camp operated by the SS () between the villages of Sankt Georgen an der Gusen and Langestein in the Reichsgau Ostmark (currently Perg District, Upper Austria).
Conditions were worse than at the Mauthausen main camp due to the camp's purpose of extermination through labor of real and perceived enemies of Nazi Germany.
The life expectancy of prisoners was as short as six months, and at least 35,000 people died there from forced labor, starvation, and mass executions.
In order to expand armaments production, the camp was redesignated Gusen I, and additional camps, Gusen II and Gusen III, were built.
Prisoners were forced to construct vast underground factories, the main one being the , intended for the production of Messerschmitt 262 jet fighter aircraft.
The site of Mauthausen concentration camp was chosen in May 1938 by an SS delegation including Theodor Eicke and Oswald Pohl.
The quarries, one of which was located near the village of Sankt Georgen an der Gusen on land partly purchased and partly leased from firm, were controlled by the SS enterprise DEST.
The first and largest subcamp of Mauthausen, Gusen began in December 1939 with a work detail of 10 or 12 German and Austrian prisoners who were assigned to build barracks adjacent to the Gusen quarry, about from Mauthausen.
The camp was built to increase the productivity of workers at the quarry just north of the site, who otherwise had to walk from the Mauthausen main camp and back again, reducing their productive hours.
Of all the quarries near Mauthausen, Gusen produced most of the architectural quality granite; it also produced freestone, paving stone, and gravel which was sold by DEST.
The prisoners were not given coats or gloves, and were not allowed to access the fires lit by kapos and SS guards.
The camp was directly adjacent to the road between Sankt Georgen an der Gusen and nearby Langenstein; former prisoners recalled Austrian children passing by on the way to school.
In 1940 and 1941, the average life expectancy was six months, and the average weight of prisoners in 1940–1942 was .
The main purpose of the camp was extermination through labor of real and perceived political enemies of the Reich, rather than exploitation of their economic potential through slave labor, so mortality rates were higher than at most concentration camps.
Work in the quarries, which was specifically intended to cause the death of prisoners, continued until the end of the war despite the opening of war production.
The camp for prisoner accommodations was a rectangle, which covered and had 32 prisoner barracks, was surrounded by a barbed-wire fence.
The first commandant was Anton Streitwieser, who was dismissed in May 1940 for running an unauthorized pig farm and feeding the pigs with rations siphoned from the supply intended for prisoners.
From 25 May 1940 to October 1942 or January 1943, the SS commandant was Karl Chmielewski, who had been a member of the SS since 1932 and the camp SS since 1935.
Until 1943, Gusen was run more of a branch of the main camp than as a subcamp, although it had separate administrative departments, such as Political Department.
In addition to the barbed-wire fence, an additional stone wall high was built around it in 1941; patrols of guards went between the barriers.
SS physician Helmut Vetter, who arrived in 1944, conducted the tuberculosis experiments by injecting the lungs of healthy prisoners with phlegmonic pus.
The victims were then forced to run until they collapsed, at which point they were killed by benzene injection to the lungs, which prolonged death.
In 1942, a Nazi camp brothel opened at the camp in order to reduce the number of prisoner functionaries who were tempted to coerce young male inmates into sex.
Those unable to perform the task to SS satisfaction were immediately killed, a fate that befell 3,000 of the first 10,000 prisoners sent to Gusen.
After two Polish prisoners, Victor Lukawski and Franc Kapacki, escaped on 13 August 1940, the eight hundred prisoners in their work detail had to run carrying rocks and were beaten by SS guards.
Fourteen Polish prisoners died and so did Lukawski and Kapacki, who were beaten to death a few days later after being caught.
The Gusen crematorium, built by Topf and Sons and in use since late 1941, was under the command of Karl Wassner.

The first transport of Republican veterans of the Spanish Civil War arrived on 24 January 1941, and the 3846 Spaniards made up most of the arrivals in the first half of 1941.
Despite being targeted for excessive punishment by the SS guards—sixty percent died by the end of 1941, mostly in the quarries—the Spanish prisoners gained a reputation for solidarity.
Later in the war, French prisoners were sent to the camp under the Nacht und Nebel decree; some Allied aircrew shot down nearby were also imprisoned at the camp.
From 1943, the purpose of the camp was switched from quarrying to armaments production in vast underground factories, to protect the industrial output from Allied bombing.
Work on the tunnels was begun by the Kellerbau Kommando at the original Gusen camp, which had a high mortality rate.
By July 1944, 4,000 Gusen prisoners were working on aircraft production, and 77 trainloads of aircraft parts were exported each month.
Other prisoners produced rifles, machine guns, and airplane motors for Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG in 16 large warehouses northeast of the original Gusen camp.
In the tunnels, prisoners were supervised by Messerschmitt employees (engineers, foremen and skilled workers) who were forbidden to discuss the project with anyone on pain of death.
The space was to serve as an underground factory for Messerschmitt 262 jet fighter aircraft, sufficient to produce 1,250 fuselages per month along with the entire slat production necessary.
During air raids, Austrian civilians were ordered into the tunnels and were separated from the prisoners only by a wooden partition.
They had to spend up to 14 hours a day in transit or in the tunnels, where the dust was so thick that they had to use headlamps to use pneumatic drills.
They were quickly worn out by the dust and lack of oxygen such that 100 died in the tunnels each day.
Gusen II, which opened on 9 March, was close to the main camp, separated only by a potato field, and also located on the St. Georgen road.
Gusen III was north, near Lungitz; its 260 prisoners worked in a nearby brick factory and in manufacturing parts for Messerschmitt, in barracks rather than tunnels.
Despite the efforts of a dedicated counter-intelligence unit, reports of aircraft production at Gusen II were received by United States intelligence from the Austrian resistance on 3 December 1944.
About 4,000 Warsaw Uprising detainees were sent to Gusen in late 1944 and additional prisoners arrived due to the evacuation of concentration camps in early 1945 as Allied armies approached.
Overcrowding meant that there were three people to a bunk, and conditions were even worse in Block 31, where those suffering from dysentery were thrown on the floor and denied food.
In April 1945, Ziereis contemplated murdering the 40,000 prisoners at Gusen by trapping them in the tunnels and detonating them with dynamite.
Two of the five entrances of the Sandkeller tunnels at Gusen I were walled off and explosives placed at the entrances of the Kellerbau and Bergkristal tunnels.
More SS left the camp in groups on 3 May 1945, with the pretext of fighting the Soviet army, although most, in fact, hid in the surrounding woods and hills.
Most of the SS had left by the time elements of the United States 11th Armored Division arrived in the early morning of 5 May.
Staff Sergeant Albert J. Kosiek, in charge of a platoon in the 41st Cavalry Squadron, was ordered to investigate a suspected enemy strongpoint near Mauthausen, and to check the bridge near Gusen which was intended to be used by American tanks.
North of St. Georgen, Kosiek encountered a Red Cross representative who told him that there was a concentration camp at Mauthausen and 400 SS who wanted to surrender.
Because he did not have enough men to accept the SS surrender, Kosiek tested the bridge and bypassed Gusen II and Gusen I on the way to Mauthausen.
Many of the sickest prisoners had been sealed in barracks without food or water; when the American soldiers opened them it was rare to find more than one or two still alive.
Although German-speaking prisoners who had angered the numerically dominant Poles were at most risk of lynching, most prisoners were more interested in obtaining food than revenge, and most kapos escaped unmolested and were never held to account for their crimes.
On 8 May, Nazi party members were ordered to bury the dead in the potato field between Gusen I and II while local citizens were forced to watch.
On 27 July 1945, American troops retreated from the area according to the Yalta Agreement, taking with them all the unfinished aircraft from the tunnels.
The former site of Gusen I and II was redeveloped into a village and most of the concentration camp buildings were demolished.
, the Poschacher quarry adjacent to Gusen I was still in use, the former tunnels are privately owned and not open to the public, as is the entrance to Gusen I.
The memorial at Gusen, privately built, was acquired by the government in 1997 which has since maintained it and also built a small museum nearby in 2004.
In late 2019 and early 2020, the Polish government suggested that the Gusen village should be bought and additional efforts made to commemorate the victims of the camp.

Another initiative that received sponsorship was the coalition's Be DOWN leadership development program in Washington, D.C., this time made possible through AIDS United's Fund for Resilience, Equity, and Engagement (FREE).
In 2019, Gilead Sciences selected the TransLatina Coalition as one of 15 transgender advocacy organizations among which it would distribute its TRANScend™ Community Impact Fund, a $4.5 million donation.
The funds, a direct service grant, was a $100,000 grant to benefit the TransLatina Coalition's Helping Our People Evolve (HOPE) Housing Program, a transitional housing program which intersects with the objective of HIV prevention.
In November 2019, the coalition was honored as a Gender Justice Champion at Celebrating Our Power, a gala hosted by The Women's Foundation of California, at which Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti deliver one of two keynote addresses.
As of 2020, the coalition's services include but are not limited to leadership development, ESL classes, daily food distribution, and support to trans immigrants who have been detained by immigration enforcement.

It is thought that the TV station side used it as a self-defense measure in preparation for complaints from viewers who claimed it is immoral when the food is handled roughly on TV variety shows.
A commentator Tsunehira Furuya also state that the dishes used in the show are not eaten by the staff later and throw it away after the show.
However, since the viewer does not know whether the staff actually ate the rest, It is suggested that this annotation may be a precautionary measure to be displayed in case of complaints from viewers.
A broadcast writer states that the TV program side has become more sensitive to dealing with ingredients in programs and displays annotations on the screen to prevent complaints from viewers.
He also argue that if the parent feels uncomfortable about the child watching what the comedian is expressing on TV, it's correct to switch to another channel or turn off the TV instead of complaining to the TV station.

Ralph-William Johnson Priso-Mbongue (born August 2, 2002) is a Canadian soccer player who plays as a midfielder for Toronto FC II in USL League One.
In 2018 she became the Professor of Comparative Physiology/Organismal Biology at the University of Oxford and Tutorial Fellow of Hertford College.
Originally born in Wyoming in the United States, Wright did a BSc in Botany at the University of Wyoming and then a PhD in insect nutrition and herbivory at Hertford College, University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar in 1994.
She moved to Ohio State University to do postdoctoral research on olfaction in honeybees in the Rothenbuhler Honeybee Laboratory and she also completed an MSc in Statistics at Ohio State University.
She moved to the University of Oxford in 2018 where she is Professor of Comparative Physiology/Organismal Biology and Tutorial Fellow of Hertford College.
Wright's research has looked at the effects of intoxication in honeybees with ethanol, finding that with increased ethanol consumption the bees spent less time on normal behaviours such as flying, walking and grooming, and instead spent more time upside down.
She has also done research to look for emotions in bees, testing their responses to smells that were unfamiliar to them.
Bees that had been subjected to an uncomfortable experience prior to the test were less likely to test the smells, and were perceived as pessimists compared to those that had not had the experience.
Her work has also looked at the effects of insecticides on bees, finding that a combination of insecticides can have a greater detrimental effect on bee learning and memory than a single compound.
Wright also found that the nicotine present in neonicotinoid insecticides may 'give bees a buzz', as honeybees and bumblebees preferred food containing neonicotinoids over that without.
In contrast she found that caffeine can improve the memory of bees of a particular scent that might bear nectar and subsequent research by Wright showed that bees have two neurons in each tastebud which help regulate bees' response to particular tastes.
The Republic of Siena in its progressive territorial growth saw its borders expanding especially in the territories of southern Tuscany in the current province of Grosseto.
In order to ensure access to maritime traffic and a competitive sales network, Siena already tried to secure the use of the Grosseto river port in the 13th century.
However, the port, swept away during the 14th century by the violent flood that removed the course of the Ombrone from the city, never had any development, also due to the incorrect economic policy of Siena and the lack of a productive background.
In May 1303, the abbot of the monastery of San Salvatore, Friar Ranieri, arrived in Siena proposing to the government of the Nine the purchase of the lands belonging to the monastery (even if they were then occupied militarily by the Counts of Santa Fiora), including Talamone and Castiglion di Val d'Orcia.
At the price of 900 gold florins the port of Talamone, the Contrada di Valentina and Castiglion di Val d'Orcia were sold to the Republic of Siena which also placed the monastery under its protection.
The possession of an outlet to the sea was extensively celebrated in Siena, hoping to increase its trade in this way, despite being affected by the negative consequences that the failure of the Gran Tavola bank of the Bonsignori had caused in relations with France and northern Italy.
In May 1304 a bailiff was established for three Sienese citizens who took care of the needs of the port of Talamone and communicated them to Siena.
The General Council of the Bell was divided on two opposing ideas represented respectively by Mignanello dei Mignanelli and Cione di Alemanno dei Piccolomini.
The first claimed that the government of the Nine should have full authority in the work, while the second claimed that it was necessary to agree with the Genoese for the proper development of the port given the inexperience of the Sienese in maritime affairs.
From 1305, restoration work was carried out for the harbor walls, roads were improved, a bridge was built and the quarterdeck was rebuilt while, to avoid possible hostilities with the Counts of Santa Fiora, the boundaries were precisely established.
The following year a ban was placed for the salt evaporation pond that should have provided half of the product to the Commune because it was his property.
On the recommendation of three Sienese citizens sent to the site, in 1309 improvements were made both to the castle and to the port to make it easier for sailors to land thanks to wooden piers, as well as to start work on a lighthouse.
Following the adhesion to the Tuscan Guelph League, made possible thanks to the political change imposed by the Nine that removed the city from the empire, Siena then found itself to be allied with Florence.
Given the growing enmities existing towards the Ghibelline Pisa, the Florentine government stipulated an agreement on 17 August 1311 with the Sienese Republic for the passage of all their goods by sea from Talamone.
With the descent of the Emperor Henry in Tuscany there were various reprisals against the Florentine merchants in Genoa and, probably for the same reason of damaging the Florentine trade, some Sienese Ghibelline exiles attacked Talamone in 1312; in that moment without defenses.
However, already in 1320 there was a new aggression, this time on the part of Genoese exiles, who sacked Talamone with a large quantity of wheat bound for Siena, burdened at that time with a famine.
In the following years the Municipality of Siena committed itself to taking the necessary measures to avoid new foreign incursions, together with the granting of privileges to the inhabitants of the port in order to encourage the growth of the Talamone population.
Despite the efforts, the population and the safety of the airport turned out to be a failure also considering the pressing presence of malaria.
The port was forced to suffer a new hostile occupation in 1328 by the army of the king of Sicily who tried to take Grosseto as well.
Given the impossibility of managing the port in a fruitful way, the government of the Nine opted for the concession of Talamone for rent to the Duke of Calabria through his ducal vicar.
However, due to some breaches of the agreements, the contract was canceled and the maritime port returned to the direct control of Siena.
Following new clashes against the Pisans due to the influence on Lucca, Florence renewed the agreements with the Republic of Siena for the rights of Florentine merchants in the port of Talamone in 1340; situation that was repeated in 1356.
Upon learning of the treaty with Florence, Pisa threatened to occupy the port and tried several times to attack it, failing thanks to Florence's commitment to protect its maritime trade.
However, once the peace agreement was signed with Pisa in 1364, the Florentine merchants preferred to leave the more distant Sienese port in favor of the Pisan one, despite the pressure exerted by Siena to maintain Florence's commercial traffic.
In a period of strong political instability in Siena, more privileges were therefore decided for anyone who wanted to live in Talamone and cultivated the land and the passing merchants, so as to remedy the damage caused by the loss of Florentine maritime traffic.
The entire area of the Sienese Maremma was however seriously neglected and due to the strong emigration the population of Talamone, Magliano and Grosseto was by now decimated.
In this situation in 1375 the Sienese coast suffered several looting by Pisan troops, which later occupied Talamone together with the papal militias.
Due to contrasts between Siena and the papacy due to the support given to Perugia in the riots against the Papal State, the papal occupation lasted until 1378, the year in which the Republic of Siena regained control of the port by paying a large sum of money to Urban VI.
The following year, due to conflicts with Pisa and Genoa for control of Sardinia, the Catalans concluded a treaty with the Republic of Siena for the use of the port of Talamone, guaranteeing their merchants the same rights that were granted to the Florentines, but with lower duties.
Once the Sienese port was left by the Catalans, failing to cover the defense and guards with maritime trade, in 1385 it was decided to grant the port to a company that also took care of maintaining the defensive structures.
In 1399 various measures were approved for the rehabilitation of the Maremma and the reclamation of the lands of Grosseto, so as to finally take full advantage of the great fertility of the agricultural areas.
With the conquest of Livorno in 1404 and that of Pisa in 1406 by Florence, the modernization of Talamone became more pressing for Siena to avoid the decadence of the port.
In those years King Ladislaus of Naples tried to bring the Republic of Siena to his part in anti-Florentine function, but given the rejection of the Sienese the king of Naples attacked Talamone together with the Genoese in 1410.
With great effort and with the help of Florence and France, Siena succeeded in regaining the port and the castle in December of the same year.
Porto Ercole and the territory of Monte Argentario, including the lesser Porto Santo Stefano, were conquered by the Republic of Siena at the time of the coming in Tuscany of the King of Naples Ladislaus in 1409.
The damages caused by the Genoese occupation were huge and the General Council of the Bell approved in 1411 that the necessary repair work was done, and the same happened in 1416 with Orbetello recently conquered.
The return of the Catalans to the Sienese port in 1436 was a positive event and, with the treaty signed by the parties, the Republic of Siena undertook to maintain the roads to Grosseto in good condition as well as the bridge of the port.
Given the huge expenses that brought the Ercole Port to the Municipality of Siena, in 1441 it was given in concession to Agnolo Morosini with the latter's commitment to build fortifications and defensive structures both in the airport and in the area of Monte Argentario.
They committed to Siena to make the area of Porto Ercole habitable (by granting the inhabitants the same privileges as the citizens of Talamone), building a new tower and even a warehouse.
Given the poor condition of Porto Ercole, the concession to the commercial company was withdrawn by the Bell Council in 1474.
The Republic sent guard and two lords to deal with the needs of the airport more carefully and to solve the problem of lack of housing for citizens.
On 30 January 1474 there was the only document of a Sienese ship, built in one of the ports of the Sienese Maremma by the merchant Francesco Benedetti da Perpignano who obtained a license from the Municipality to hoist the flag of the Republic of Siena.
In 1476 a serious plague struck the ports of Talamone and Porto Ercole, decimating the population of the entire Grosseto area, subsequently impoverished by the pause of the Neapolitan royal army in those lands that were just repopulating.
From 1480 the Republic decided to intervene on the ports trying to stimulate the return of the emigrated citizens during the plague.
In this period Porto Ercole experienced a good commercial flow thanks to the trade of wool cloths to the east by Sienese merchants.
To solve security problems, in 1489 Siena sent its Muslim consul to Constantinople so that the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire drove the many pirates who damaged the cities and ports from the Maremma.
In the first few years of the 16th century the Republic of Siena sold, for the price of 4,500 florins, all the revenues of the ports of Talamone and Porto Ercole for ten years to Alessandro di Galgano Bichi, while the use of the lands of Monte Argentario was bought by the Spedale of S. Maria della Scala of Siena.
Taking advantage of a period of strong political instability in the Republic of Siena, the Genoese commander Andrea Doria occupied Talamone in 1527, and afterwards also Orbetello and Porto Ercole fell.
The occupation of Orbetello and Talamone did not last long because the Sienese army supported by the population managed to recover the two cities.
Since the Sienese could not take Porto Ercole by force, the Commune of Siena insisted with great insistence on Pope Clement VII that he would return the lands occupied by force.
Not obtaining positive responses and given the prolongation of the negotiations, the Republic decided to attack the port of call in 1530, managing to take back the port thanks to the commander Cincio Corso.
Fearing an imminent war against the Emperor or against the Pope, the Commune had the towns and the castles of the Maremma visited by the architect Baldassarre Peruzzi and Antonmaria Lari who were in charge of strengthening the walls of Porto Ercole, Grosseto and Talamone in 1532 and in 1541.
The fleet of Khayr al-Din Barbarossa, arrived in Italy to help the king of France, sacked and captured Montiano, Talamone and Porto Ercole.
The plundered lands were ceded to the king of France who, after offering them in vain to the Pope (who refused them because he supported the Spanish presence in Italy) decided to withdraw from these lands after setting fire to Porto Ercole and its fortress.
During the last decade of the Republic of Siena, from 1545 to 1555, the restoration of the walls and the fortifications of the ports of Talamone and Porto Ercole were continuous.
During the Siena War where the Sienese and French armies faced each other against the Florentine and Spanish armies, besieged Siena on August 2, 1554 and surrendered the city in April 1555, Porto Ercole still remained to be conquered, where the French commander Charles de Carbonnières, after having awaited the arrival of Marshal Piero Strozzi, he surrendered on June 18, 1555.
The ports that were of the Republic of Siena for more than two centuries, became part of the nascent State of the Presidi in 1557 at the behest of Philip II king of Spain.

Chinese Latin American or Chino-Latino cuisine, associated with Asian Latin Americans of Chinese origin, combines elements of Chinese cuisine with other Latin American influences.
It is found in Chinese communities and Chinatowns across Latin America, including Peru (where it is known as chifa) and Cuba.
It has spread to the United States with the migration of Asian Latin Americans, particularly the migration of Chinese Cubans to New York City.
Tens of thousands of Chinese who survived indenture and remained on the island during the 1870s and 1880s now had more physical, occupational, and even social mobility.
They joined gangs of agricultural laborers, grew vegetables in the countryside, peddled goods, and worked as artisans or at unskilled jobs in town.
Core aspects of Cuban and Chinese food are similar in their use of white meats such as pork and starches such as rice.
The Chinese aspect brings dishes such as fried rice, chow mein or shrimp with black bean sauce, while the Cuban aspect brings dishes such as ropa vieja or platanos maduros.
In Chinese cooking vegetables such bok choy, amaranth or broccoli play a big role in the development of popular Chinese dishes such as a stir fry.
The Chinese style of cooking also relies a lot on oils, sauces and vinegars; including the most commonly known soy sauce as well as others such as rice vinegar, sesame oil and oyster sauce.
The Cuban style uses spices such as garlic, cumin, oregano, bay leaf and cilantro, while also using vegetables like onions, bell peppers and tomatoes.
The distinct Cuban-Chinese or Latino Chino identity wasn't found in New York City until the late 1960s and early 1970s when thousands of Chinese remigrated to the United States.
Local conditions, including political and economic instability, have caused the remigration of Chinese to the United States from other parts of Latin America, including Peru, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Ecuador.
When arriving into the United States, a country in which binary racial categories had now been geared toward the racial segregation of Latinos and Asians which has slowly began to be accepted.
Once these previous business owners arrived and settled in East Harlem, people began to establish new businesses based on the immersion within foods they have learned when cultured in Cuba, to honor their heritage and establish their economic stability.
For incoming immigrants, these restaurants had a homelike feeling due to the authentic qualities and similarities between their settling area and their home country.
It had been a minimal aspect of their home country such as, food that allows people to feel comfortable and adapt within their area of settlement.
However, just as this concept had emerged in an accepting manner within present day these restaurants are considered to be disappearing this is due to the lack of the Chinese population migrating directly from Cuba in order to keep the tradition upheld.
The last Chinese migration directly from Cuba had occurred in 1959, which has caused doubt on how much longer part of the Cuban and Chinese culture can progress.
The process of acculturization allowed the younger generations to lose touch of their roots, compared to others who want to stand by where they come in order to keep heritage alive.

Highland Park is a neighborhood in Holyoke, Massachusetts located to the northwest of the city center, approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) from downtown, on the banks of the Connecticut River.
The residential neighborhood was initially developed as a streetcar suburb by the Highland Park Improvement Association, which underwent several iterations between 1893 and 1930.
Today the neighborhood contains numerous Victorian and early 20th century housing and about of residential zoning, as well as the Edward Nelson White School.
Tower gave the area its name and devised the first street plans and building lots around February 1893 as an upscale housing development.
Within a year of their first meetings, ultimately their plans, including a bridge across the river decades before the Muller Bridge, would fall apart, and Whittlesey would see litigation taken against him by his associates.
The Highland Park Improvement Association dissolved shortly after the splitting of its associates, and in 1896 the land was deeded to the firm Whitcomb & Pearsons, who laid out the initial plots and tentative roads, keeping with the idea that the suburb was one for mill management and an upper-middle class.
A developer himself, he would work under the new firm until in 1914 he bought out the shares of his associates and made it his own contracting firm.
In 1910, the remaining undeveloped tracts to the north would host a grand exhibition for the aviation stunts of Charles F. Willard.
In the history of aviation, Willard was the first barnstormer, first person to fly 3 passengers in the United States, and first person to be shot out of the sky by a bullet— that of an annoyed farmer.
Willard's feats would attract a crowd of more than 7,000 for the YMCA benefit exhibition, and thousands more would view his escapades from South Hadley and boats on the Connecticut River.
By 1911, the Holyoke Street Railway was being extended through the neighborhood along Pleasant street toward Northampton Street and Mountain Park.
Although not well documented, at some point leading up to 1911, the neighborhood was also considered as a railway stop for the Boston and Maine Railroad, whose former tracks run between its homes and the Connecticut River.
Seeking a clubhouse and amphitheater, Hoyt and his associates would donate a plot of land at 250 Pleasant Street to the club for these purposes, and before 1919 a club house in the Tudor Revival style was constructed on that spot.
Up through the mid 1920s the community house would serve as a social space for neighborhood dances, mayoral political campaigns, and even received Second Lady Grace Coolidge for a reception after her husband had become Warren G. Harding's Vice-President.
In 1923, the community house began functioning as a private school, known as the Lovering School, and was partially reconstructed after a fire that same year.
It would continue to be used in this capacity until its last class graduated in 1939, and was converted to a private residence thereafter.

Hartwell Tavern is an historic American Revolutionary War site associated with the revolution's first battle, the 1775 Battle of Lexington and Concord.
It is located on Battle Road (formerly the Bay Road) in Lincoln, Massachusetts, and operated as a living museum by the National Park Service as part of the Minute Man National Historical Park.
It is staffed from Memorial Day (May) weekend to October by park rangers dressed in colonial attire who offer programs daily.
The building, whose main façade faces south, was originally constructed as a home for Ephraim Hartwell (1707–1793) and his newlywed wife, Elizabeth (1714–1808), in 1733.
It was given to them by Ephraim's father, Samuel (1666–1744), who lived in a home with his wife, Mary, about 700 feet east along Battle Road.
Built in the 1690s, only the central chimney of Samuel and Mary's house still stands, amongst a basic reconstruction of the building.
The Hartwells raised a family and, in 1756, when they had nine children living in the house, Ephraim applied for a license to run the home as an inn.
Three of the Hartwells' children — Samuel, John and Isaac — were in the Lincoln minutemen that fought at Old North Bridge and on the battle road.
Mary then relayed the message to Captain William Smith, commanding officer of the Lincoln minutemen, who lived a little to the west and whose home still stands along Battle Road.

Kilner studied a BA in Zoology at the University of Oxford in 1992, and received a Ph.D. in evolutionary biology at the University of Cambridge in 1996.
She worked as a Junior Research Fellow at Magdelene College, Cambridge, and in 1998 was a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellow; she was appointed Lecturer at the University of Cambridge in 2005 and a Reader in 2009.
In 2013, Kilner was appointed Professor of evolutionary biology at the University of Cambridge, and in 2019, Kilner was made a Director of the Cambridge University Museum of Zoology.
Kilner's research looks at how social evolution can generate biodiversity and much of her work looks at burying beetles (Silphidae) and birds.
Kilner found that cowbirds, which are also brood parasites, do not try to outcompete the host chicks that they hatch next to (as with cuckoos) and instead cowbirds do better when the host chicks remain.
Kilner's work on burying beetles has shown that beetle parents can produce a slime mixture that can influence bacteria communities on the meat they provide for their larval offspring; the bacteria aid digestion in the beetle stomach and prevent decomposition of the meat, so that beetle larvae grow larger and healthier.
She also found that motherless beetle larvae were less competitive between each other and had higher survival rates than when mothered larvae had to cope alone.

Hamiltonian complexity or quantum Hamiltonian complexity is a topic which deals with problems in quantum complexity theory and condensed matter physics.
It mostly studies constraint satisfaction problems related to ground states of local Hamiltonians; that is, Hermitian matrices that act locally on a system of interest.
Given a Hermitian matrix formula_1, let formula_2 denote the ground state energy of the Hamiltonian formula_1, and let formula_4 and formula_5 be non-negative real numbers with formula_6.
It states that the entropy of a reduced density matrix of a quantum system in its ground state is proportional to the boundary length of the area.

After a press conference before the fight Brewster was seen in tears after talking about Slayton death, leading to comparisons with Buster Douglas who's mother passed away in the build up to his title bout with Mike Tyson.
The first four rounds were dominated by Klitschko, who knocked Brewster down in the fourth with a right hand and appeared to be close to stopping the American but he made through the round.
In the fifth round Klitschko appeared somewhat fatigued and with less than a minute left in the round Brewster caught him with a pair of left hooks than sent him into ropes which referee Robert Byrd classified as a knockdown.
After making it to his feet Klitschko attempted to return to his corner but Byrd waved the fight off giving Brewster a TKO victory and the WBO belt.

The Women's 500 metres grade II event was one of the events held in Ice sledge speed racing at the 1988 Winter Paralympics.
The town was founded at the end of the Civil War by the brothers John Oatman Dewees and Thomas Dewees, who became very successful cattlemen, delivering tens of thousands of Texas Longhorn cattle annually from their ranching operations in the area.
Schneider's Store, on the other hand, remains in operation, for over 85 years (since 1932), and there are a few houses near it.
The Dewees Remschel House is a historic mansion that was originally in Gonzales, Texas, where it was built by Dr. Robert Taggart Knox, sometime in the late 1860s.
The house was moved by its owner Claribel Dewees Remschel to her 130 acre ranch near Dewees (at FM 541 and CR 206) in 1983, and was renovated over the next 15 years.

Cherokee Ranch, in Douglas County, Colorado near Sedalia, Colorado, has been a purebred cattle ranch since 1954, including raising Santa Gertrudis cattle.
A former Union soldier, he arrived with his family in 1868 from Kansas in a covered wagon which brought apple tree slips.
It was extremely cold in winters along the creek, so they moved to higher ground in 1873 and built a wood frame house at the current location of ranch headquarters.
Blunt acquired others' homestead properties and eventually what he called Sunflower Ranch had on which he farmed wheat, sorghum, and steers.
The ranch has on both south and north of U.S. Highway 85, but the listing is limited to the property north of 85, which includes four historic building groups.

In mathematical logic, specifically in the discipline of model theory, the Fraïssé limit (also called the Fraïssé construction or Fraïssé amalgamation) is a method used to construct (infinite) mathematical structures from their (finite) substructures.
The main point of Fraïssé's construction is to show how one can approximate a (countable) structure by its finitely generated substructures.
Given a class formula_1 of finite relational structures, if formula_1 satisfies certain properties (described below), then there exists a unique countable structure formula_3, called the Fraïssé limit of formula_1, which contains all the elements of formula_1 as substructures.
Given an formula_6-structure formula_10 with domain formula_11, and a subset formula_12, we use formula_13 to denote the least substructure of formula_10 whose domain contains formula_15 (i.e.
Fraïssé proved a sort-of-converse result: when formula_1 is any non-empty, countable set of finitely generated formula_6-structures that has the above two properties, then it is the age of some countable structure.
The archetypal example is the class formula_55 of all finite linear orderings, for which the Fraïssé limit is a dense linear order without endpoints (i.e.
This cannot be extended to an automorphism of formula_57 or formula_58, since there is no element to which we could map formula_66, while still preserving the order.
For example, the class of finite dimensional vector spaces over a fixed field is always a Fraïssé class, but it is uniformly locally finite only if the field is finite.

This ellipsoid shape has low drag through the water allowing the algae to inhabit areas with significant wave and current energy.
Rapid photosynthesis produces a small oxygen bubble inside the sac which holds it toward the surface and the energy of the sun.
The sac tapers to a short stipe, or stem, that connects to a small, disc-shaped holdfast which anchors the algae to the bottom.
While a deflated sac will perish in the sun within three hours, sacs that are water-filled when the tide goes out remain moist and cool, surviving until the next tide covers them.
The species is found from the Russian Far East to the Bering and Chukchi Seas, the Aleutian Islands, mainland Alaska and south along the coast of North America to Point Conception, California.
It usually grows on rock, showing a very marked preference for the rough, exposed points of rock rather than the cracks and valleys in rock.
They appear to be identical, but close examination reveals the thalli of the tetrasporophytes to be dotted with the red tetraspores.
He was commissioned as a sub-lieutenant in the Royal Navy in September 1902, with promotion to lieutenant following in April 1905.
Leach later made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the Royal Navy against the British Army cricket team at Lord's in 1913.
He took 3 wickets in the Army first-innings, dismissing Douglas Robinson, Arthur Turner and Francis Wilson to finish with figures of 3 for 61.
He was dismissed by Francis Wyatt in both the Royal Navy innings', with the Army winning the match by 10 wickets.
After serving in the First World War, he was placed on the retired list at his own request in December 1919, at which point he held the rank of lieutenant commander.

In the Europe/Africa Zone there were two different tiers, called groups, in which teams competed against each other to advance to the upper tier.
Winners in Group I advanced to the World Group Qualifying Round, along with losing teams from the World Group first round.
Teams who lost in the first round competed in the relegation play-offs, with winning teams remaining in Group I, whereas teams who lost their play-offs were relegated to the Europe/Africa Zone Group IIs in 1991.
The 1947 Texas College Steers football team was an American football team that represented Texas College in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) during the 1947 college football season.

In November 1563, he became a canon of the cathedral chapter in Vilnius, capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and seat of the Diocese of Vilnius.
On 30 January 1567, Grand Duke Sigismund Augustus sent a request to Pope Pius V to reassign bishop from Samogitia to now vacant Diocese of Lutsk and to appoint Petkūnas as bishop of Samogitia.
The diocese did not have a permanent bishop for about four years and Petkūnas found it neglected and affected by the Protestant Reformation.
However, little is known about his activities in the diocese; he likely spent a lot of time in Vilnius and not in Samogitia.
He supported reconstruction of the Church of St. Francis and St. Bernard in Vilnius and bequeathed religious paintings from Holland, liturgical objects and robes to Varniai Cathedral.
In his last will, Petkūnas left 1,700 kopas of Lithuanian groschens to send twelve students to the Jesuit Academy in Vilnius.
In 1573, Petkūnas promoted his nephew Petras Petkūnas, ordained only as an acolyte, to a canon of the cathedral chapter in Varniai and gave him parishes in Betygala and Viduklė.
In letters of Cardinal Michele Bonelli, before his appointment as bishop, Petkūnas was evaluated as having two undesirable traits – relatively low birth and enjoying alcohol more than what would be appropriate for a bishop.
Valančius also quoted Albert Wijuk Kojałowicz who claimed that at the time of Petkūnas, the diocese was so neglected that it had just seven priests.
Based on Kove's own experience as an adoptive parent, the film depicts a woman who catches a thread in the sky which carries her to a baby girl, whom she raises and remains connected to with a red thread of love and emotional connection until the girl is a young woman old enough to go seek her own thread of connection to a baby of her own.
The film premiered at the Norwegian Short Film Festival in June 2017, and had its Canadian premiere at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.
He entered the service of the Congo Free State, under the control of Belgium, and arrived in Vivi on 12 June 1883.
He stayed in Lukolela for two years; on 2 November 1885, he was appointed head of Bolobo station and a month later head of Equator station in Mbandaka.
Glave then offered his services to the American diplomat and businessman Henry Shelton Sanford and was back in the Congo in 1887.
After his travels on the American continent, Glave wanted to go back to Africa, this time to report on the slave trade.
However, this was only published after his death, because he died on 12 May 1895 in the Congolese port city of Matadi.

The theater was constructed in 1964 and is located on Avenida Sete, at the west of the 19th-century Neoclassical public area, the Passeio Público.
A group of dissident students, which consisted of Echio Reis, Sônia Robatto, Carlos Petrovich, Othon Bastos, Thereza Sá, and Carmem Bittencourt, led the creation of a permanent theater.
The state government of Bahia granted a space in the Public Promenade in 1961 for the construction of the new theater.
The theater was a center of the 1960s counterculture movement, Tropicália, and cultural opposition to the Military dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1985).
The style is in stark contrast to the numerous 19th century Neoclassical structures of the Passeio Publico, and of the Palácio da Aclamação.
They include, at different time periods, the Companhia Teatro dos Novos, an experimental theater company; the Bando de Teatro Olodum, an Afro-Brazilian theater group; Viladança, contemporary dance group; Vilavox, Vila choir; Novos Novos, a children's theater group; the COATO Coletivo; and the Revista Barril.
The march started in Northland on September 14, travelling the length of the North Island arriving in Wellington on October 13 1975.
The Maori Affairs Amendment Act 1967 introduced compulsory conversion of Māori freehold land with four or fewer owners into general land.
Cooper had earned much recognition and respect over the many years of her social and political engagement among the Māori and was one of the few women in the Māori community recognized as a leader.
The march, accompanied by two trucks and a bus, led in 29 days from Te Hapua; Kaitaia; Mangamuka; Otiria; Hikurangi; Waipu; Wellsford; Orewa; Auckland; Ngaruawahia; Kihikihi; Te Kuiti; Taumarunui; Raetihi; Whanganui; Ratana; Palmerston North; Shannon, New Zealand; Otaki, New Zealand; Porirua to Wellington.
Upon arriving at Parliament, Whina Cooper presented a petition signed by 60,000 people from around New Zealand to Prime Minister Bill Rowling.
The petition called for an end to monocultural land laws which excluded Māori cultural values, and asked for the ability to establish legitimate communal ownership of land within iwi.
It brought unprecedented levels of public attention to the issue of alienation of Māori land, and established a method of protest that was repeatedly reused in the following decades, such as the occupation of the land at Bastion Point.

The 88th Rifle Division was twice formed as an infantry division of the Red Army, first as part of the prewar buildup of forces and again in the spring of 1942, serving until after the end of the Great Patriotic War.
It played a large role in holding and then pushing back the Finnish III Army Corps during Operation Silver Fox and for this success was redesignated as the 23rd Guards Rifle Division.
A new 88th began forming in April, 1942 based on the first formation of the 39th Rifle Brigade, mostly in the Moscow Military District and was soon assigned to the 31st Army of Western Front; it would remain in that Army for the duration of the war.
It took part in the savage and mostly fruitless fighting around the Rzhev salient into the winter of 1942/43 and then in the summer offensive that liberated Smolensk.
During the following fall it became badly depleted as Western Front repeatedly attempted to batter its way through the German defenses to Orsha.
After rebuilding in the spring of 1944 it served as part of 3rd Belorussian Front during Operation Bagration, soon being awarded a battle honor as well as the Order of the Red Banner.
During the East Prussian Offensive in January, 1945 it made steady progress, eventually earning its third Order after the battle for the Heiligenbeil Pocket.
After the East Prussian campaign the 31st Army was railed south to Czechoslovakia where the 88th ended the war marching on Prague.
The 88th Rifle Division began forming for the first time on the day the war began in Europe, September 1, 1939 at Arkhangelsk in the Arkhangelsk Military District.
Sharp states that it's possible the 88th had a special organization for operations in the roadless arctic terrain because it did not have a howitzer regiment and when it was disembarked from 10 small transports from August 9-14 it had just 7,818 personnel on strength with 58 artillery pieces of all calibres, 22 trucks and 1,928 horses in total.
The German-Finnish Operation Silver Fox had begun on July 1 with the goal of cutting the Murmansk railway and on August 7 the Finnish III Corps, commanded by Lt. Gen. Hjalmar Siilasvuo, captured Kestenga.
At this point the 88th joined the Kemskaya Operations Group and took over defense of the Kestenga-Loukhi road, one of the few avenues of operation in this mostly trackless wilderness.
On August 15, while leading the division as it attempted to establish defensive positions along the Sofiangi River, General Zelentsov was killed in a German air attack; he was replaced five days later by Col. Vladimir Aleksandrovich Solovyov.
Despite this the attackers made progress and by November 6 two battalions of the 426th Rifle Regiment and a company of the 611th Regiment were fighting in encirclement.
The next day two Finnish and one German battalion that had earlier infiltrated between the two Regiments were driven back 45km along the Kestenga-Loukhi road by other Soviet forces.
On November 9 the encircled battalions of the 426th, low on ammunition and without food, were forced to break out; only 275 men returned to friendly lines.
On November 16 the offensive subsided, in part due to heavy casualties on the Axis side but also due to diplomatic pressure from the United States government which threatened consequences for Finland if its supply deliveries to the USSR were interrupted.
However this might have been, the division was credited with stopping the Finnish drive and largely in recognition of this it was redesignated as the 23rd Guards Rifle Division on March 17, 1942, one of only two Guards divisions created (the other being the 10th Guards Rifle) in the Arctic.
On February 22, 1943 two soldiers of the division would be posthumously made Heroes of the Soviet Union for their roles in the November battles.
On November 24, while fighting for the railway station on the Loukhi-Kastenga line his battalion was surrounded by enemy tanks and infantry.
In order to help his comrades to break through to friendly lines Luzan called in artillery fire on his own position.
Soon after, as SS troops were breaking into his dugout, he blew up himself and his radio with a grenade, taking several attackers with him.
The 88th began forming again on April 29, 1942 based on the 39th Rifle Brigade at Kizner in the Urals Military District.
In December the brigade was shipped north and by January 1, 1942 was in the reserves of Northwestern Front, under command of Col. V. G. Noziyak.
It was then assigned to 4th Shock Army taking part in the Toropets-Kholm Offensive and on January 21 was one of the units recognized for its role in the liberation of Toropets and the capture of the German supply base there.
By the end of the month 4th Shock came under command of Kalinin Front and the brigade remained in the Toropets salient to the west of the German-held Rzhev salient until April when it was pulled back well east of Moscow where it was disbanded to form the cadre for the new 88th Rifle Division.
Although it physically formed in the Urals the new 88th Division, based on an existing cadre, was very soon assigned to the Moscow Military District.
In June it was assigned to the 4th Reserve Army in the Reserve of the Supreme High Command and then in July to 31st Army in Western Front.
A powerful artillery preparation reportedly knocked out 80 percent of German weapons, after which the German defenses were penetrated on both sides of Pogoreloe Gorodishche and the 31st Army's mobile group rushed through the breaches towards Zubtsov.
By the evening of August 6 the breach in the German 9th Army's front had expanded up to 30km wide and up to 25km deep.
While this date is officially considered the end of the offensive in Soviet sources, in fact bitter fighting continued west of Zubtsov into mid-September.
At dawn on September 8, 29th and 31st Armies went on a determined offensive to seize the southern part of Rzhev.
It suspended its attacks temporarily on September 16 but resumed them with three divisions, including the 88th, on its right flank on September 21-23 with similar lack of success.
Over the course of the fighting from August 4 to September 15 the Army suffered a total of 43,321 total losses in personnel.
The offensive finally began on November 25 when the Army's shock group, consisting of the above forces minus the 20th Guards, attacked the German 102nd Infantry Division.
That division's history recorded:In three days of fighting the tank brigades were decimated and the rifle divisions suffered heavy losses, up to 50 percent on the first day alone.
The main effort was made by the 36th and 45th Corps, the latter of which had the 220th and 331st Divisions in first echelon and the 88th in second.
Between 1800 and 2000 hours the Corps overran one German battalion and threw another aside; an hour later an artillery battalion had also been overrun and it was clear the 113th's front was breaking apart.
During the night two German regiments fell back 2km where a main battle line was reestablished behind the 6m-wide Vedosa River.
Sensing confusion in the German ranks the commander of 31st Army, Maj. Gen. V. A. Gluzdovskii, committed his mobile group to break through to the Minsk-Moscow highway just 6km to the south.
The attack was resumed at dawn on August 8 and gained more ground from the 113th Infantry which was now near collapse.
By early afternoon the 260th Grenadier Regiment cracked after losing a key position and the 220th Division surged into the gap just east of the Vop.
The next day the two Soviet corps continued to try to batter their way through the German line but were stymied by 18th Panzergrenadiers; during this fighting Colonel Bolotov was killed by German tank or assault gun fire on his command post.
On the other hand a major counterattack by 18th Panzergrenadier failed to restore the original front line due to heavy Soviet artillery fire and the obstacle of the Vedosa.
45th Corps was transferred to 68th Army on September 18 and over the following week the 68th and 31st Armies pressed to encircle Smolensk, which was finally taken early in the morning of September 25.
During this month the division continued to advance towards the Belorussian border with 68th Army, but later that month 45th Corps rejoined the 31st Army.
68th Army advanced westward south of the Dniepr River in early October with 45th Corps to the rear, closing up to the defenses of the German XXVII Army Corps late on October 8.
The 88th immediately reinforced the assault of the 159th Rifle Division across the Mereya River, forcing the 18th Panzergrenadiers to withdraw westward.
The division formed a forward detachment to pursue but the German division turned back towards the east and took up new defensive positions along the Rossasenka River on October 11.
The Army prepared to resume its attacks the next day, but by now the 45th Corps was marching north to rejoin 31st Army.
31st Army also began a new attempt to reach Orsha on October 12 with 45th Corps (now including the 220th Division) serving as its second echelon and reserve.
Western Front's offensive began after an artillery preparation of 85 minutes but 31st Army immediately stalled without any appreciable gains and at considerable cost.
In preparation for a new effort 31st Army was further reinforced and regrouped its three corps south between the highway and the Dniepr, with 45th Corps in the center; the 88th and 251st Divisions were in first echelon and the 220th in second.
The shock groups smashed the defenses of the 197th Infantry Division between the villages of Redki and Novaya, at considerable cost and by early evening had penetrated 4km deep on a front 1,000m wide toward the village of Kireevo, on the main rail line to Orsha.
Two brigades of the 2nd Guards Tank Corps were committed into the penetration but were soon halted by heavy German fire from the flanks.
On October 24 the second echelon divisions were committed in a final effort to break the German defenses but failed in part due to artillery ammunition shortages.
The offensive was halted at nightfall on October 26 by which time the offensive capabilities of 10th Guards and 31st Army were completely exhausted after gaining 4-6km at a combined cost of 4,787 killed and 14,315 wounded.
The Front's first shock group consisted of the 10th Guards and 31st Armies on both sides of the Minsk highway, but by now their rifle divisions averaged only 4,500 personnel each.
The 88th was in the first echelon when the attack began on November 14 after a three-and-a-half hour artillery and air preparation, but was soon stopped in its tracks due to heavy machine gun fire.
31st and 10th Guards Armies were concentrated on a 12km-wide sector from Osintori to the Dniepr, with the 31st focused on just 3km of that with four divisions in first echelon and five in the second.
In the event the attack made virtually no ground even after the second echelon was brought up, and the Front went over to the defense on December 5.
The failure of the Orsha offensives was ascribed, apart from the strength of the German defenses, to a lack of training of Red Army replacements and a stereotyped use of artillery which did more to warn the German forces of attacks than to actually inflict damage.
By the beginning of January, 1944 the 88th, one of just four divisions remaining in 31st Army, had been assigned to the 114th Rifle Corps with the 251st Division, but by a month later it was a separate division.
In February it came under command of 71st Rifle Corps with the 331st Division; it would remain in this Corps for most of the rest of the war.
On February 27 General Gluzdovskii was ordered to prepare yet another assault on the Orsha axis in cooperation with 49th Army to his south.
Since most of his Army was involved in offensive operations in the Babinavichy sector he only had his 71st Corps for this new attack, which began on March 5 and continued over the next four days.
In the event the effort was unsuccessful at the cost to the two armies of another 1,898 killed and 5,639 wounded.
On April 11 Western Front was disbanded and 31st Army was assigned to the new 3rd Belorussian Front, where it would remain until the last month of the war.
In the buildup to the Soviet summer offensive against Army Group Center on June 12-13 the 88th and 192nd Rifle Divisions of 71st Corps were shifted north to make room for the deployment of 11th Guards Army on the sector north of the Dniepr.
When the offensive began with probing attacks on June 22 those of 31st Army were driven back by heavy artillery and mortar fire.
The following day the first echelon divisions of 71st Corps broke the German defense north of the Dniepr, and advanced 3km before being halted by increasing enemy resistance.
She used a hook ladder to help the soldiers of her company through an antitank ditch; later that day she blocked the embrasure of a German machinegun bunker with her body and was killed.
Over the next two days the 11th Guards and 5th Armies developed much more momentum along the Orsha and Bogushevsk axes, leaving 31st Army behind.
Meanwhile, in the fighting around the Vitebsk salient, by June 24 the Soviets were torn by the classic dilemma of blitzkrieg warfare -- how many units to use to close the pocket and how many to keep pressing forward before the enemy had time to create defensive positions.
39th Army, which was responsible for 3rd Belorussian Front's part of this encirclement, had only its 84th Rifle Corps available for the battle for the city itself.
Elements of 39th Army linked up with forces of the 1st Baltic Front late on the 24th, leaving the German LIII Army Corps trapped in Vitebsk and in several smaller pockets along the road leading to the southwest.
Over the next two days, as Hitler refused permission for the Corps to break out, the Soviet forces prepared to liquidate the pocket, which began at 0900 hours on June 27, preceded by a massive barrage of artillery and rockets.
After the battle for Vitebsk the division advanced along the highway to Minsk to rejoin 71st Corps as it and the 36th Rifle Corps were consolidating the success of 5th Guards Tank Army which was operation ahead.
31st Army had been assigned a leading role in the liquidation of the defeated and mostly-encircled German 4th Army and the liberation of the Belorussian capital, which was completed on July 4.
During July 5-6 the 71st Corps pursued the German forces to the west, advancing up to 40km and reaching a line from Pershaie eastward along the north bank of the Islach River as far as Rakuv.
Over the next two days the entire Front continued its pursuit in the direction of Vilnius, which was reached by 3rd Guards Mechanized Corps on the morning of July 7.
At the same time the 71st Corps was overcoming limited resistance in the Naliboki forest with the assistance of partisans and reached the Berezina River by the end of the day.
The battle for Vilnius would continue until July 13, but meanwhile on July 8 the 31st Army had advanced another 25-30km towards the Neman River.
By the next day most of the remaining defenders had begun deploying along the river line as 3rd Belorussian Front began preparing to force the Neman and also to liberate Kaunas.
At this point the Army commander, Col. Gen. V. V. Glagolev, was ordered to regroup his forces to the right flank and force the Neman along the Army's entire front.
By the end of July 17 the 11th Guards, 5th and 31st Armies had together breached the river line on a 110km front and repelled all counterattacks.
In recognition of the 88th's success in the Neman crossing on August 12 the 426th Regiment would be decorated with the Order of the Red Banner, while the 611th and 758th Regiments would each receive the Order of Aleksandr Nevsky.
The temporary defensive was in part to prepare the Front for an invasion of East Prussia, which began at 0840 hours on July 29 following a 40-minute artillery preparation and airstrikes.
A new offensive into East Prussia began on October 16; 3rd Belorussian Front planned to drive directly from Gumbinnen through Insterburg to Königsberg.
Goldap, to the south of the main drive, was soon taken, but German 4th Army committed its 102nd Panzer and Führer Grenadier Brigades to the fighting and retook it on October 25.
In a surprise attack by 31st Army on October 28 the town again changed hands, but the situation soon deteriorated as further counterattacks struck home.
By November 3 the 611th Rifle Regiment was surrounded and was ordered to break out to friendly lines the next night.
Elgin had the banner wrapped around his torso under his uniform before leading a team of four men out of the town along a single path through the woods and marshland to the east.
When the route was blocked by a German machine gun post he charged it, throwing grenades until it was destroyed with the help of his men.
Later, while crossing between the lines the party was spotted by the light of flares and a German group attempted to capture it.
Despite the overall failure of the Goldap-Gumbinnen operation the 88th received the Order of Suvorov, 2nd Degree, for its efforts on November 14.
This officer was in turn replaced on January 26, 1945 by Col. Ivan Sergeevich Lobanov, who was succeeded on February 14 by Col. Andrei Prokofevich Maltzev.
Just two weeks later Maj. Gen. Nikita Sergeevich Samokhvalov took over command and continued to lead the 88th for the duration of the war.
The objective of 3rd Belorussian Front was much as before: to penetrate the defenses north of the Masurian Lakes in the Insterburg region and then advance to launch a frontal attack on Königsberg.
31st Army remained on the Front's left flank and in the early going was ordered to firmly defend the front south of Goldap.
The Army went over to the offensive on January 22 and by the next day the German grouping facing it was in retreat.
During that day the Corps captured the important road junction of Benkheim while the Army developed the offensive toward Angerburg and Lötzen, advancing more than 45km before storming the heavily fortified strongpoint at the former location.
On April 5 the 426th Regiment would be recognized for its role in this fighting with the award of the Order of Aleksandr Nevsky.
However this was a crucial point for the German forces attempting to break out of the pocket that was forming around Königsberg.
The 129th Infantry and 558th Grenadier and 24th Panzer Divisions launched powerful counterattacks in an effort to encircle the 71st Corps and while they were unable to break into Landsberg they isolated it for several days, bypassing to the north and south and causing considerable havoc in the Soviet rear areas.
During most of February and March the division took part in the final destruction of German 4th Army in the Heiligenbeil Pocket battles.
Sergeant Nikolai Mikhailovich Lazkov, an engineer reconnaissance squad leader of the 222nd Sapper Battalion, was made a Hero of the Soviet Union for his work in Belarus from January to June of 1944, during which time he led 96 night searches and defused 586 mines with his group.
At the start of Operation Bagration, while operating behind enemy lines, his unit captured a bridge over the Orshitsa River north of Orsha and he organized its defense until relieved.
By this time the division was travelling by train south with the rest of 31st Army to join the 1st Ukrainian Front in the Sudeten Mountains of Czechoslovakia.
Arriving in the first days of May the 71st Corps saw little action, primarily providing flank security to the Front as it advanced on Prague and sweeping up prisoners.
The castle is sited atop Monte Taburno, and had been the site of prior fortifications during the medieval period, including occupations by Lombards and Normans.

in April 2017, the band confirmed that they had two new singles ready for release for the summer, and that they planned to release the fifth studio album on 1 August 2018.
In this respect, Crossfaith have really honed their compositional skills; the transitions between the heavy and harsh verses and the big dance choruses are smoother and more fluid then ever before.
The band have clearly found their niche over the last few years, and this record serves as excellent proof of their continued songwriting brilliance and knack for finding and melding together both brutally heavy guitar work and screaming with the occasional anthemic chorus.
Despite a couple duds that just don't match the seriousness or urgency of this record's excessively better takes, I'm honestly more than happy to have now been plugged right into Crossfaith's futuristic, synthetic world.

The I-17 Mystery Christmas tree is a living tree in the median of Interstate 17 (I-17) in the US state of Arizona that is decorated each Christmas by people not publicly known.
The tree is at a point where the terrain necessitated a wide separation between the northbound and southbound lanes of I-17, and the median is over wide.
The tree is surrounded by four water storage barrels and plastic drip tubing to supplement the sparse natural rainfall in the area.
In 2013, ADOT spokesman Doug Nintzel said people have told him that they know who is responsible but have not said who it is.
In 2011, a former ADOT district engineer who retired in 2005 said he knew who decorates the tree but honors their request to remain anonymous.
Due to the danger of stopping on the highway, neither ADOT nor the Arizona Department of Public Safety formally condone the activity in the median.
The median is often the site of brush fires ignited by passing vehicles, and the tree has survived many of them.
A fire in August 2011 was close enough to melt the tree's plastic irrigation system, but the tree was not seriously harmed even though the fire burned the surrounding vegetation and scorched some of the tree's lower branches.

In histone acetylation and deacetylation, histone proteins are acetylated and deacetylated on lysine residues in the N-terminal tail as part of gene regulation.
The regulation of transcription factors, effector proteins, molecular chaperones, and cytoskeletal proteins by acetylation and deacetylation is a significant post-translational regulatory mechanism These regulatory mechanisms are analogous to phosphorylation and dephosphorylation by the action of kinases and phosphatases.
Not only can the acetylation state of a protein modify its activity but there has been recent suggestion that this post-translational modification may also crosstalk with phosphorylation, methylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation, and others for dynamic control of cellular signaling.
In the field of epigenetics, histone acetylation (and deacetylation) have been shown to be important mechanisms in the regulation of gene transcription.
The basic structural unit of chromatin is the nucleosome: this consists of the core octamer of histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) as well as a linker histone and about 180 base pairs of DNA.
The post-translational modification of histone tails by either histone modifying complexes or chromatin remodelling complexes are interpreted by the cell and lead to complex, combinatorial transcriptional output.
It is thought that a Histone code dictates the expression of genes by a complex interaction between the histones in a particular region.
The song was written by Anouk, Satindra Kalpoe and Bart van Veen, and it was produced by George Kooymans, Barry Hay and John Sonneveld.

Since its foundation in 2008 by Sue Collins and Maureen Drummond, the group's spokespersons have been advocating against mandatory vaccination for school children.
Scientists and medical experts have countered many of these statements, arguments against vaccination being contradicted by overwhelming scientific consensus about the safety and efficacy of vaccines.
Several experts such as Paul Offit have said campaigns by groups such as the New Jersey Coalition for Vaccination Choice contribute to vaccine hesitancy, even as New Jersey's vaccination rates decline, putting the population in increasing danger.
New Jersey Coalition for Vaccination Choice was instrumental to bringing some 400 protesters to the New Jersey State House on December 12, 2019, as legislators were debating a measure meant to tighten the state's vaccine exemption regulations.
Supported by anti-vaccination activist Del Bigtree, some of the parents said they would take their children out of school rather than have them vaccinated.
A call for action by the group brought an angry crowd to committee hearings in 2018 when state legislator were debating a similar measure.
A 2009 meeting between representatives of the group, including anti-vaccination activist Louise Kuo Habakus, and New Jersey governor Chris Christie put the governor in political difficulty when he seemed to agree with the debunked belief that vaccines cause autism.
He says that he was a priest of the church of Würzburg and he dedicated his work to a friend named Dietrich (Theoderic).
Possibly the copyist or whoever added the description of John to the Tegernsee manuscript confused him with his friend, who is sometimes identified with Dietrich of Hohenburg, who was bishop of Würzburg in 1223–24.
John's pilgrimage took place while the holy places belonged to the Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem, but before the major renovation of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
His account is not entirely based on what he himself saw, he admits that he made use of eyewitness reports and in some cases borrowed from other travel guides (especially Fretellus).
He probably landed at Acre, when he travelled to Nazareth, Jenin, Nablus, Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Jaffa, where he took ship home.
19418 in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, dates to the late 12th or early 13th century and comes from Tegernsee Abbey.

Three days afterwards is the anniversary of noble Duke Godfrey [of Bouillon] of happy memory, the chief and leader of that holy expedition, who was born of a German family.
His anniversary is solemnly observed by the city with plenteous giving of alms in the great church, according as he himself arranged while yet alive.
But although he is there honoured in this way for himself, yet the taking of the city is not credited to him with his Germans, who bore no small share in the toils of that expedition, but is attributed to the French alone.

Ruth Fahrbach (born November 25, 1942) is an American politician who served in the Connecticut House of Representatives from the 61st district from 1981 to 2009.
She left Saint Petersburg in 2006, and now lives in Amman, Jordan, where she works as a journalist as well as a novelist, though she maintains strong ties to both cities.
The literary critic Ali Hassan Al-Fawaz responded with an article rejecting the premise, describing Al-Zou'bi's writing as transcending simple political interpretations; Al-Zou'bi's novels, he argues, require a reader who will rise to the semiotic challenges of her symbolic writing.
In February 2018, the Media Commission forbade circulation of the novel within Jordan and asked distributors to re-export any copies they had in their possession.
Much of the book takes the form of the diary of an old man who was the prior occupant of his windowless room.
The literary critic Walid Abu Bakr described the novel as a combination of the myth of Enkidu in the Epic of Gilgamesh and the myth Sisyphus, contrasting heroic and absurd models of eternity.
Isaac Lumago (1939 – 8 May 2012) was a Ugandan military officer who served as chief of staff for the Uganda Army from 1977 to 1978, and later became leader of the Former Uganda National Army (FUNA).
In July 1976 he was in Kenya, and he overheard Kenya Air Force officers on 4 July, discussing plans by Israel to carry out a raid against Entebbe International Airport to free hostages who were held there by Palestinian and German airplane hijackers with the complicity of the Ugandan government.
Lumago and Colonel Gad Wilson Toko, who was in Nairobi for non-military reasons, managed to telephone Brigadier Isaac Maliyamungu after failing to reach Uganda Army Chief of Staff Mustafa Adrisi.
Maliyamungu, who was reportedly drunk at a night club, dismissed the warning and told both men that since they were acting in civilian capacities they both should not involve themselves in military matters.
In January 1977 Lumago, at the rank of general, was appointed Chief of Staff of the army and Minister of State for Defence.
In early 1978, a political rivalry between Adrisi and President Idi Amin gradually escalated until the latter was injured in a suspicious car accident.
Afterwards, on 8 May he was dismissed as Chief of Staff and Minister of State for Defence and relegated to inspecting the equipment of the army's mechanised regiments.
He accepted, joined Okello's government, and consequently began to fight against another rebel movement, the National Resistance Army (NRA) of Yoweri Museveni.
Meanwhile, FUNA was accused of gross indiscipline, reportedly raping and murdering civilians in the capital and other areas, though Lumago denied these charges.
The clinic referred him to Arua Referral Hospital in Arua, where he was taken and admitted into the intensive care unit.

The German Space Operations Center (GSOC; ) is the mission control center of German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich, Germany.
After the Federal Republic of Germany decided in the 1960s to launch a national space program and to participate in international space projects, the idea of having its own space control center became concrete.
In 1967, then Federal Minister of Finance Franz Josef Strauss laid the foundation stone for the first building complex, which was also opened a little later.
Indeed, the GSOC then accompanied two crewed missions: During STS-61-A in 1985, GSOC took over the control of the Spacelab, while flight control continued from NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center was acquired.
This also means that, for the first time, a human spaceflight was (partially) monitored from outside the USA or the Soviet Union.
During this mission, then Bavarian Prime Minister Franz Josef Strauss announced on 5 November 1985 an extensive investment program with which the role of Oberpfaffenhofen in European spaceflight should be increased.
John Wyeth was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the son of Ebenezer Wyeth, II, who fought at Bunker Hill, and Mary Wyeth, and the younger brother (by 12 years) of Joshua Wyeth who at the age of 16 participated in the Boston Tea Party.

In short, if many years attention to the charms of church music, if an extensive acquaintance with the taste of teachers of the first emininence in the United States, and with the possession of some thousand pages of selected music to cull from, be considerations, which may added to the merit of the editor's undertaking...
Ross Ellison mentions the shrewdness in discovering a newly emerging musical market (revival music and camp meeting songs) as the significance of Wyeth's his contribution to American music.
Warren Steel qualifies this assessment by drawing attention to the fact that Wyeth grew up in the Boston-Cambridge area at a time when singing-schools were popular, and when William Billings and others were creating American choral music.

Russell Dermond was found dead on May 6, 2014, in the garage of the house he owned next to Lake Oconee in Putnam County, Georgia.
More than a week later, her body was discovered at the bottom of Lake Oconee, about five miles from her house.
She appeared to have died from a blow to her head, and her body had been weighted down with concrete blocks.
Russell and Shirley went on to move to the Great Waters Reynolds Lake Oconee gated community, about 12 miles northeast of Eatonton.
Russell and Shirley were expected to attend a party for the 2014 Kentucky Derby the following weekend with their neighbors, who grew concerned when the Dermonds did not show up.
A subsequent autopsy found that she had died from either two or three deep wounds to the head from a blunt object.
Although the perpetrator and motive remain unknown, Putnam County sheriff Howard Sills has said he is convinced that multiple people were involved.
Because gunshot residue was found on Russell's collar, Sills also believes that Russell was decapitated after having been shot in the head in an attempt to prevent police from finding the bullet, and that the perpetrators went to the Dermonds' home intending to obtain money, despite the fact that nothing in the home was stolen.

Leann L. Birch (born Leann Elsie Traub; – ) was an American developmental psychologist, best known for her research on children's eating behaviours.
She completed her graduate studies in psychology at the University of Michigan, earning a master’s degree in 1973 and a PhD in 1975.
From 1972 to 1992, Birch was a faculty member at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, where she headed the Department of Human Development and Family Studies.
She served on a number of committees dedicated to obesity prevention, including a term as the chair of the Committee on Obesity Prevention Policies for Young Children at the Institute of Medicine from 2009 to 2011.
Her research program is credited for its influence on policy and position statements from scientific and professional bodies, such as the Institute of Medicine, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Healthy Eating Research program.
She conducted research on a number of subtopics within this area, including selective eating, parental influences on eating behaviors, and psychological aspects of obesity, from infancy through adolescence.
Birch co-led a project evaluating an intervention designed to teach first-time parents effective ways to respond to their infants' needs, aside from feeding.
At three years old, children in the intervention group had lower BMIs, compared to children in a control group, and a smaller proportion who could be categorized as overweight or obese.

With a total of 9 issues published and one unreleased from late 1970 to early 1972, the magazine was forced to close down following the Echeverria's systematic crackdown of La Onda after the Avandaro Festival.
According to Aceves, its publicity on the magazine proved enough for journalist Blanco Moheno to persuade the then-secretary of Education Bravo Ahuja to pressure Moya Palencia and Echeverria to shut down the magazine.
Although some personalities from the left and the right were highly critical -but somehow tolerant- of the magazine such as Zabludovsky and Monsivais, the most reactionary of them all was Blanco Moheno, who even called for Aceves to be executed.
During the Avandaro festival and in front of Cablevision cameras of the Alfredo Gurrola team as well as dozens of photographers -among them Graciela Iturbide-, a woman performed a striptease.

Given a complex Lie algebra formula_1, its conjugate formula_2 is a complex Lie algebra with the same underlying real vector space but with formula_3 acting as formula_4 instead.
A complex Lie algebra is isomorphic to its conjugate if and only if it admits a real form (and is said to be defined over the real numbers).
Given a complex Lie algebra formula_1, a real Lie algebra formula_7 is said to be a real form of formula_1 if the complexification formula_9 is isomorphic to formula_1.
On the other hand, a real form formula_7 is simple if and only if either formula_1 is simple or formula_1 is of the form formula_16 where formula_17 are simple and are the conjugates of each other.
Conversely, suppose there is a formula_25-linear isomorphism formula_27; without loss of generality, we can assume it is the identity function on the underlying real vector space.
Let formula_39 be a Cartan subalgebra of formula_1 and formula_41 the Lie subgroup corresponding to formula_39; the conjugates of formula_41 are called Cartan subgroups.
The Lie subgroup formula_47 corresponding to the Borel subalgebra formula_48 is closed and is the semidirect product of formula_41 and formula_50; the conjugates of formula_51 are called Borel subgroups.

In common with most New Mexico chili cultivars, Sandia peppers are somewhat variable in their fruiting and produce individual peppers of varying heat, with most of the peppers being mild (5,000 SHU), and an occasional extremely hot pepper (30,000 SHU).

Tadeusz Antoni Mostowski (19 October 1766, Warsaw - 6 December 1842, Paris) was a Polish writer, journalist, literary critic and politician.
In 1790, he was a Podstoli for the Masovian Voivodeship and also became a Castellan in Raciąż, thereby gaining a place in the .
During the period of the Targowica Confederation he left Poland; eventually arriving in Paris, where he became a mediator in talks between Polish emigrants and French revolutionary authorities.
In 1794, he joined the Kościuszko Uprising; becoming a member of the Provisional Council of the Duchy of Masovia and the Supreme National Council.
He remained there until 1802, then established himself at what is now known as the Mostowski Palace, which he had inherited in 1795.

A 2.04-metre ruckman who can also play as a key forward, he played in several state leagues before being drafted by Geelong as a mature-age recruit.
From Geelong, Victoria, Fort originally played for South Barwon as a junior and represented the Geelong Falcons in the TAC Cup.
Ahead of the 2012 AFL draft he was little-noticed by recruiters until a match with South Barwon in the Geelong Football League, when he rucked competitively against Brad Ottens, a triple-premiership player for Geelong, despite his size and experience deficit.
Fort played eleven matches and kicked eight goals over the next two years, then switched to South Australian National Football League club Central District ahead of the 2016 season.
Over the next three years, Fort kicked 29 goals in 52 games as he began to take on a forward-line role.
Fort was drafted by Geelong with pick 65 in the 2018 national draft, quitting his job as a civil engineer to play for the club.
The proliferation of ruckmen led to him spending more time as a key forward in Geelong's VFL reserves, where he kicked eight goals in four matches and displayed strong marking ability while rucking alongside Abbott.

Clubul Sportiv Orășenesc Ștei, commonly known as CSO Ștei, or simply as Ștei, is a Romanian football club based in Ștei, Bihor County.
The town of Ștei is a relatively young one, being founded only in 1952, near the former village, which had the same name.
The small settlement was projected to be an important town, during the presence of Nazi Germany in Romania, during the early 1940s, due to the uranium deposits that were found at Băița mine near Ștei.
Subsequently, as a consequence of the World War II, the Germans left Romania and the Soviets took control and built the dreamed town in only four years.
The new town was projected to have 25,000 inhabitants, also dozens of blocks and barracks, an administrative palace, five cinemas, three dance rings, two schools (a Romanian one and a Russian one), a dispensary, a sports base, a restaurant and shops were built.
The team from Bihor Mountains promoted again in 1972, but this time spent no less than seven seasons in the third league, before relegating again, now with a best ranking achieved at the end of the 1974–75 season, a 5th place.
In contrast to its rival, Oțelul was a much constant presence at the level of the third tier, promoting for the first time in 1976 and relegating only at the end of the 1991–92 season, after 16 consecutive years in the league.
Oțelul used to play its home matches on Oțelul Stadium, built in the 1980s, with a capacity of 5,000 seats, now a ruin, after years of negligence.
Minerul took the leadership in the 1990s and promoted back to Divizia C, equaling the best ranking in the history of the club, a 3rd place, in 1997 and having a last sparkle, under private ownership, during the 2003–04 season, when they finished 6th in their series of Divizia C, but then withdrew due to financial difficulties.
Oțelul had a last appearance at the level of Divizia C during the 2000–01 edition, but ended on the 12th place and relegated, then evolving only in the County Championship.
Decline of mining in Romania and the mostly failed privatization of the Mechanical Factory, brought both clubs near to collapse in the middle 2000s, first club that decided to withdrew and declare its bankruptcy being Minerul, in 2008, followed two years later by Oțelul.
Overall, the town of Ștei, spent 30 seasons at the level of Divizia C, in the 11 of them, both teams being members.
The best ranking was the 2nd place obtained by Oțelul in 1991, followed by a 3rd place achieved by the same team in 1989 and by the rival Minerul on two occasions, 1983 and 1997.
Financial crisis of 2007–08 and the already poor economical situation of the little industrial town, which remained basically without its first economical engine, the industry, brought the football into bankruptcy.
The withdrawal of Oțelul in the middle of the 2009–10 season, made the Local Council to take action and on 24 June 2010, it was approved the foundation of CSO Ștei, a team meant to continue the rich history of football from Ștei.
CSO was enrolled in the Liga V and promoted at the end of the 2010–11 season, then remaining at the level of Liga IV, for the moment, without the financial capacity of hoping for more.
The new team from Ștei, obtained the following rankings: 6th (2012–13), 6th (2013–14), 5th (2014–15), 6th (2015–16), 10th (2016–17), 14th (2017–18) and 11th (2018–19).
Minerul Stadium was built by the Soviets in the early 1950s and was opened in 1954, being the home ground of Minerul Ștei for 54 years, until its dissolution in 2008.
The stadium has a capacity of 800 people and was owned after 1989 by the National Uranium Company, reaching a precarious state in the early 2010s.
Oțelul Stadium was built by the Mechanical Factory and inaugurated in the early 1980s, being the home ground of Oțelul Ștei for more than 35 years, until its dissolution in 2010.
The stadium has a capacity of 5,000 people and it is owned by Transilvania GIE, company that bought the old factory.
When CSO Ștei was founded the problem of a home ground appeared, both stadiums being in a state of degradation and none in the administration of the Town of Ștei.
Finally, the National Uranium Company agreed to allow the new football club to play on Minerul Stadium, which started to be the home ground of the newly formed football team.
The fanbase of the team is formed of former supporters of Minerul and Oțelul and they are well known in Bihor County for their high attachment to the team, most of the time putting a lot of pressure on their opponents.
Bihorul Beiuș is considered to be the bitter rival, as it is based in the most important city of the region and at only 20 km away from Ștei.
William Vainchenker is best known for his discoveries in the field of malignant blood diseases and the genetic mechanisms responsible for predisposition to myeloproliferative syndromes and leukaemias.
At the same time he completed his bachelor's degree in science, then a DEA (master 2) and a postgraduate thesis in science in 1978 in Paris VI University.
He was appointed to the Paris Hospital Boarding School in 1971 and did his hospital internships from 1971 to 1978 with an interruption as a technical assistance cooperator.
William Vainchenker then worked as an intern at the Inserm unit headed by Professor Jean Rosa at Henri Mondor Hospital (Créteil) in the team of Mrs Jeanine Breton Gorius where he started working on megacaryocyte differentiation.
In 1981 he returned to a university hospital activity in hemato-immunology as head of the clinic in the department of Professor Maxime Seligmann.
In 1993, he took over the management of an Inserm unit at the Gustave Roussy Institute on the theme of experimental haematology, which he managed until 2010.
William Vainchenker has always worked on megacaryocyte differentiation with the objective of characterizing the mechanisms that regulate this normal that leads to platelet formation and then transposing these data to human pathology.
This allowed him to be the first team to identify and characterize the progenitor of the megacaryocyte line, then to define its different steps and apply these data to the characterization of leukaemias.
In parallel, his team has shown that GATA1 is a transcription factor that plays a key role not only in erythroblast but also in megacaryocyte differentiation.
They were able to show with Françoise Wendling that the orphan MPL receptor had as ligand a megacaryopoiesis stimulating factor that had all the characteristics of thrombopoietin, a presumptive humoral factor that physiologically regulates platelet production.
This allowed them to study in detail: 1) the mechanisms of regulation of plasma thrombopoietin level by the number of platelets in the blood and 2) its function on differentiation, in particular on polyploidization of megacaryocytes.
Having shown that overexpression of thrombopoietin in mice gave a picture similar to myeloproliferative neoplasm, they focused their research on the pathophysiology of these malignant diseases.
This led to the discovery of the JAK2V617F mutation that causes more than 60% of these diseases, in particular more than 90% of Vaquez's Polyglobulias.
Most importantly, it has identified the TET2 gene, which can be mutated in association with JAK2V617F in myeloproliferative neoplasms and plays a major role in normal hematopoiesis and in many pathologies.
With Stefan Constantinescu's team (Brussels), they showed that calreticulin mutations associated with certain myeloproliferative neoplasms modify the function of this chaperone that binds to MPL to activate signaling via JAK2.
Finally, working on familial myeloproliferative syndromes, they characterized one of the very first locus responsible for the predisposition to myeloproliferative neoplasms and leukaemias with high penetration.
In 2007, he received the William Dameshek Prize from the American Society of Hematology (ASH) and the Allianz-Institut de France Foundation Research Prize.
He was elected a member of the French Academy of Sciences in December 2013, in the Human Biology and Medical Sciences section.
Carryover Credits (Kyoto carryover credits) are a carbon accounting measure by which nations count historical emission reductions that exceeded previous international goals towards its current targets.
As part of the Paris Agreement, CDM credits will be replaced by an international emissions trading market, where by countries can sell their excess emissions credits to other countries.
While most countries do not count their credits, several countries lead by Australia, including Brazil, India, and Ukraine are attempting to allow their credits to be carried over.
The proposal has been criticized, with scientists estimating that if countries were to make full use of their excess credits global temperatures could rise by an extra 0.1°C.

Alain-Jacques Valleron (born 24 August 1943 in Neuilly-sur-Seine (Hauts-de-Seine) is Professor Emeritus at the Pierre-et-Marie-Curie University and a member of the French Academy of sciences, of which he was Delegate for Scientific Information and Communication.
Professor of Biomathematics at the University of Paris 7 from 1981 to 1991, Professor of Biostatistics / Medical Informatics at the Pierre et marie Curie Faculty of Medicine from 1991 to 2013 and hospital practitioner at Saint-Antoine Hospital (Paris).
In 1974, he created the DEA (master 2) in Biomathematics, which was the first postgraduate scientific training preparing for research in all information sciences applied to biomedicine (biostatistics, modelling, medical informatics, bioinformatics, biomedical image analysis).
His first work will lead him to the creation of a platform for simulating the cell cycle and kinetics in the context of cancer.
This allows him to map the variability in the duration of cell cycle phases and to model their consequences on the development of chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatments.
Since the 1980s, he has been developing information systems and statistical or computer models to describe, model, detect in real time and predict the dynamics of epidemics, particularly emerging diseases.
The diseases concerned are in particular influenza (monitored, as well as other health indicators, by the Sentinel network he created in 1984) and frequent communicable diseases in children, AIDS and viral hepatitis, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome)... Alain-Jacques Valleron has always placed his research at the intersection of life sciences, particularly epidemiology, and information sciences.
The Emmuraillé Lake is a body of water crossed in its eastern part by the Petit Saguenay River, in the unorganized territory of Sagard, in the Charlevoix-Est Regional County Municipality of the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, in Canada.

Wilhelm Engelhard Nathusius (from 1861 Wilhelm von Nathusius-Königsborn) (27 June 1821, Hundisburg – 25 Dezember 1899, Halle ) was a wealthy Prussian land-owning agriculturist, industrialist, animal breeder, and agronomist who also contributed to studies in zoology, particularly on the eggs of birds.
Nathusius was born in the Hundisburg castle but grew up in the neighboring estate of Althaldensleben where he received private tuition from Julius Carl Elster (1803-1881).
The castle at Königsborn near Magdeburg was bought by Wilhelm's father in 1834 and taken over by Wilhelm after the death of his father in 1843.
Numerous guests visited and stayed with them including the poet August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben, a friend of Wilhelm who met Marie's friend Elvira Detroit.
The couple were known for their piety and charity, and established a school, an orphan home and a shelter for the old.

In sewing, elastic is a notion which is sold in narrow strips and generally serves to increase the ability of garment to stretch, either to accommodate movement or to make the garment suitable for wearers of many different physical sizes.
The component which performs the actual stretching is made of either rubber or a synthetic material such as spandex; this stretching component is then covered with polyester, cotton, nylon, or a combination of these or other fibers which allow it to be attached to clothing.
High-quality elastic is able to be stretched to twice its original length and then return to its unflexed state without showing appreciable wear.
Stitching or piercing this kind of elastic causes it to quickly lose its ability to return to its original shape (a ball-point sewing needle will minimize this damage).
It does not narrow when stretched, and piercing it with a needle does not affect its ability to return to its original shape.
The most common elastics, however, are made from latex-based rubber and polyester fibers— these forms tend to hold up well to being worn and washed regularly.
Other elastics are made with cotton, which tends to shrink slightly after being worn and washed but is very versatile and is an all-natural alternative to man-made fibers.

Involved in the setting up of the society were Dr. John Lanigan, Richard MacElligott, Edward O'Reilly, William Halliday, and Maynooth College Irish Professor Father Paul O'Brien.
A number of years later another effort was made by some of those involved in the society in the establishment of the Iberno-Celtic Society in 1818, another initiative was the Irish Archaeological Society, 1840 (which merged with the, 1845 established Dublin Celtic Society in 1854).
The Armageddon Network is a non-fiction book by Michael Saba about possible espionage in the United States government for the state of Israel.
Saba is later informed by a reporter that Bryen didn't actually leave his job with the committee until February 9, 1979 when he took a position with the Coalition for a Democratic Majority.
As the Justice Department investigation into Stephen Bryen continued, Saba took up his own investigation of Stephen Bryen and his colleagues.
This coalition was home to many public figures who came to be known as neoconservatives who were basically social liberals who favored a high military budgets and interventionist foreign policies in order to benefit Israel.
Bryen's lawyer insisted on many preconditions controlling the subject matter of any questions he would be willing to answer in sworn deposition with the Justice Department.
For the months following Davitt and Lisker's fruitless negotiations with Bryen's attorney to get Bryen to submit to an interview under oath, Phillip B. Heymann appointed Deputy Assistant Attorney General Robert Keuch to take over for them.
Bryen's attorney continued to insist that, among other things, Justice Department investigators be barred from asking Bryen about his relations with the Israel lobby.
Despite two recommendations to bring the case to a grand jury, Deputy Attorney General Phillip Heymann, after further communications with Bryen's lawyer, decided to allow the suspected foreign agent to go ahead with a sworn deposition instead - a restricted deposition that would bar any questions about any matters beyond those specified by Bryen's lawyer, including Bryen's connections to the Israel lobby.
As Joel Lisker, Chief of the Registration Unit at the Justice Department, turned his attention to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he encountered some more difficulties.
A Defense Week article quoted an unnamed source in the Justice Department as saying the presence of the committee lawyer had a chilling effect on the interviewees.
Stephen Bryen, Bryen's lawyer Nathan Lewin, and his employer Senator Clifford Case of New jersey, and demanded and were granted the right to screen all requested documents and assert privilege over those authored by Bryen or Case.
Apparently Bryen's deposition or a description of it was not included in the many government documents the Saba acquired via FOIA requests, upon which much of The Armageddon Report is based.
Saba reveals a troubling undisclosed relationship between Phillip Heymann, the deputy attorney general who refused to take the Stephen Bryen case to a grand jury, and Nathan Lewin, Stephen Bryen's attorney.
Both attended Harvard Law School at the same time where Lewin was editor of the Harvard Law Review for two years prior to Heymann becoming editor while Lewin became treasurer.
In fact both men's careers follow an identical pattern: After the Supreme Court, Heymann joined the Justice Department's Office of Solicitor General and after his stint at the Court, Lewin joined the very same office.
Heyman then moved to the State Department's Bureau of Security and Consular Affairs where he became administrator, He was joined by Lewin, who became deputy administrator in 1965.
Saba cites a source who says when Heymann returned to Washington to work again at the Justice Department in 1978, he stayed as a house guest of Nathan Lewin.
The extensive relationship between Phillip Heymann and Nathan Lewin raises the question of why Heymann did not recuse himself from the Stephen Bryen investigation.
The decision not to go to a grand jury and the subsequent concessions made to Nathan Lewin by Heymann reside under the suspicion of undue influence.
Like Bryen, Perle fell under suspicion of spying for Israel when he was caught on an FBI phone tap discussing classified material, evidently supplied to him by Kissinger aide Helmut Sonnenfeldt, with someone in the Israeli embassy.
Perle also failed to disclose his work as a consultant for an Israeli arms manufacturer whose fee of fifty thousand dollars he received the same month he started work as Assistant Secretary for International Security Policy at the Pentagon.
The National Association of Arab-Americans, for whom Saba once worked, sent letters warning numerous members of Congress and government officials of the security threat Bryen posed.
No one on the Senate Armed Services Committee asked about Bryen or Perle's attachment to a certain foreign country in the Levant.
Senator James Exon went so far as to place a hold on Perle's confirmation until he could review Bryen's file, but was convinced to lift the hold by other senators.
Richard Perle and Stephen Bryen were confirmed in their Assistant Secretary and Deputy Assistant Secretary positions at the Pentagon on August 3, 1981.
One of the investigators who worked the Stephen Bryen case for the Justice Department said: I was watching the television one night when Bryen came on the screen.

In histone acetylation and deacetylation, histone proteins are acetylated and deacetylated on lysine residues in the N-terminal tail as part of gene regulation.
The regulation of transcription factors, effector proteins, molecular chaperones, and cytoskeletal proteins by acetylation and deacetylation is a significant post-translational regulatory mechanism These regulatory mechanisms are analogous to phosphorylation and dephosphorylation by the action of kinases and phosphatases.
Not only can the acetylation state of a protein modify its activity but there has been recent suggestion that this post-translational modification may also crosstalk with phosphorylation, methylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation, and others for dynamic control of cellular signaling.
In the field of epigenetics, histone acetylation (and deacetylation) have been shown to be important mechanisms in the regulation of gene transcription.
The basic structural unit of chromatin is the nucleosome: this consists of the core octamer of histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) as well as a linker histone and about 180 base pairs of DNA.
The post-translational modification of histone tails by either histone modifying complexes or chromatin remodelling complexes are interpreted by the cell and lead to complex, combinatorial transcriptional output.
It is thought that a Histone code dictates the expression of genes by a complex interaction between the histones in a particular region.

The Zaraniq rebellion was an armed conflict in the lower Tihamah between the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen and the rebellious Zaraniq tribe that took place from 1925 to 1929.
It began in late 1925, and near the end of that year the Zaraniq would win a major battle against the Yemeni government.
Despite the fall of al-Ta'if, rebel fortunes would see a temporary resurgence: A second army marching from al-Mukha was surprised and routed by the rebels.
These successes convinced the leader of the Zaraniq, Ahmed el Fiteini, to submit an appeal to the League of Nations for formal recognition as an independent state.
However, the government's superior firepower would prove to be an insurmountable problem for the rebels, and in early October 1929 Bayt al-Faqih fell to the government and the Zaraniq surrendered, ending the rebellion.
After the quelling of the revolt, a tract of land was expropriated by the Imam and the Al Hudaydah canal was constructed from the point where the wadi emerged onto a coastal plain to irrigate this tract of land.
Although this new upstream canal initially took a small quantity of water, it took water throughout the year, thereby violating the principle that new lands should not be irrigated with low flows.
Giovanni Gatto (died 1484) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Catania (1475–1479) and Bishop of Cefalù (1472–1475 and 1479–1484).
The Evangelium longum is a illuminated manuscript evangeliary that was made around 894 at the Abbey of Saint Gall in Switzerland.
It was made by the monks Sintram, as scribe, and Tuotilo for the treasure binding, a cover with carved ivory plaques and metal fittings.
Today, the original evangeliary is located in the Abbey library of Saint Gall and can be found in the Codex Sangallensis under Cod.
Not only are the patron and the artists that were involved in its creation known by name, but also the year of production of the manuscript can be exactly determined.
The story of the manuscript begins with the ivory plaques measuring over 500 cm that were incorporated into the book cover.
These plates, which were formerly used by Charlemagne as writing pads, were probably bequeathed by the Emperor to the archbishopric of Mainz and thence came into the possession of Hatto, at that time Archbishop of Mainz (891–913).
When Hatto had to accompany King Arnulf (850-899) to Italy, he asked his friend, Abbot Salomo of Saint Gall (890-920), to keep his treasure save during his absence.
However, instead of guarding it as promised, Salomo III soon spread a rumour about Hatto’s death and took possession of his treasure.
Whereas he donated most of it to the poor and gifted another part to the Minster of Constance, he also incorporated part of the treasure, for instance the two ivory plates, into the Saint Gall monastery treasure.
Then he commissioned his most talented artist, the monk Tuotilo († 913) with the adornment of the plates and the monk Sintram, who was known to be a talented penman, to write an evangeliary.
Examinations with regard to the age of the carvings revealed, however, that they derive from the same time and the same hand, namely that of Tuotilo .
The Evangelium longum, whose name is derived from its extraordinary oblong format, was supposed to serve as a showpiece evangeliary (dt.
In the corners of the frame, the evangelists (John, Matthew, Mark and Lucas) are depicted, while their symbols (eagle, winged man, lion and bull) are situated directly around Christ.
Finally, the sun and the moon, personified by Sol and Luna, are depicted at the upper border of the image, while at the bottom, the ocean and the earth are represented by Oceanus and Tellus mater.
The narrative picture field in the middle of the plate is framed by ornamental parts above and below that are separated by two bars.
The bars bear the following inscription: HIC RESIDET XPC VIRTVTVM STEMMATE SEPTVS (Here Christ sits enthroned, surrounded by the wreath of virtues).
The creation of this frame, embellished with gold and jewels from Bishop Hatto’s treasure, can also be ascribed to the monk Tuotilo.
Every sentence in the Evangelium longum begins with a golden painted capital letter resulting in a total of twenty to thirty of these capitals per page.
However, on closer examination, the initials were evidently created by the same hand as the rest of the manuscript, namely by Sintram’s.
When including the two mirror blades attached to the front and back book cover as well as the two endpapers, the Evangelium longum consists of 154 parchment sheets.
Beginning at the first endpaper, the sheets were paginated by the abbey librarian Ildefons von Arx with Arabic numbers (1-304) in red ink.
The average size of a page is 395 x 230 mm, the written space measures 275 x 145/165 mm and each written page consists of 29 lines.
From pages 6 to 10, the Evangelium longum recounts the first chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, including Jesus’s lineage and his birth from the Virgin Mary.
for the feasts of the Lord as well as for all the Sundays, including Wednesday and Friday, of the church year.
On page 234, the second part of the Evangelium longum begins with the inscription INCIPIVNT LECTIONES EVANGELIOR[VM] DE SINGVLIS FESTIVITATIBVS S[AN]C[T]ORVM.
Nowadays, the interior of the manuscript is still in surprisingly good condition, which indicates, according to Anton von Euw, that it was never or only rarely been opened.
Before 1461, the bindings of the book block were restored, the book spine replaced and the golden applications on the front plate repaired.
Probably in the 18 century, another restoration was conducted, in the course of which the book spine as well as the front gold lining were again renovated.
The material value left aside, the Evangelium longum is moreover one of the manuscripts whose development history is the most closely documented (from before 900 until today), which makes it a work of the highest documentary value.
Finally, the Evangelium longum symbolises, according to David Ganz, the connection of Saint Gall’s monastery chronicle to the court of Charlemagne as well as the then close bond between the abbey and the Archbishopric of Mainz.
She received her Graduate Diploma in Indian Art and its history at School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in 1996.
In 1943, she became the first commander of a women's expeditionary force, the 149th WAAC Post Headquarters Company, which served in General Eisenhower's North African headquarters.
Before her military service, she held management posts in women's organizations; afterwards, she did volunteer work for women's groups, including serving as a United Nations observer for Altrusa International.
Frances Eleanor Keegan was born on October 15, 1896, in West Newbury, Massachusetts, the third daughter among the four children of John L. Keegan and Margaret E. Costello.<ref name=1/30/1943Globe></ref><ref name=2/8/1943WaterlooCourier></ref> Her parents were first generation Irish: the Costellos from Tipperary and the Keegans from Kildare.<ref name=2/2/1943CourierJournal></ref> John Keegan had a career as superintendent of machine tool manufacturing.
She managed Boston's Franklin Square House, a non-profit residence hotel providing housing and social services for some 700 unmarried women students and wage earners.
From 1919 through 1933, Frances Keegan Marquis fundraised for and then was a manager at The Town Hall in New York City.<ref name=2/1/1943PalmBeachPost></ref><ref name=4/11/1943PittsburghPress></ref> The Town Hall was an offshoot of New York's women's suffrage movement, specifically the League for Political Education.
Later, between 1935 and 1941, Marquis served as the assistant director in charge of education and recreation programs of the American Woman's Association.
By 1930, when it constructed its own building in New York City, the association (which was non-sectarian and was said to include every nationality) had a membership of some 4,000, representing over 150 businesses and professions.<ref name=11/23/1930StarTribune></ref> Along with a roof garden, numerous parlors, meeting rooms, and residential space, the association's building featured a premier fitness center including a swimming pool.
Like The Town Hall, the club had roots in the suffrage movement and owned a series of impressive clubhouses in Manhattan, moving during Marquis' tenure to the same building that housed the all-male City Club.
Luminaries including Eleanor Roosevelt led the club, which advocated for civic betterment and particularly women's issues such as women's employment, birth control, and maternity care.
As war raged abroad during Marquis' time as executive secretary, the Women's City Club turned to women's duty to contribute to defense and the war effort.
On July 20, 1942, Frances Keegan Marquis joined the first Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) officer training class at the Fort Des Moines Provisional Army Officer Training School.<ref name=1/31/1943PhilInquirer></ref> Chosen from some 30,000 applicants, she was one of 440 in her class, of whom 90% had attended college and 99% had successful civilian careers.
Over the 1942 Christmas holidays, Marquis became the first woman to command a troop train, which carried the newly-formed 149th WAAC Post Headquarters Company now under her command from the Second WAAC Training Center in Daytona, Florida, to the New York area.
From there, this company of almost 200 sailed to North Africa, reporting to General Dwight Eisenhower's headquarters in Algiers on January 27, 1943.
Women of the 149th, who volunteered for service abroad, comprised a hand-picked cadre of linguists and specialists who assumed secretarial, postal, switchboard, and other duties.
Upon arrival in Algiers, it was discovered that the 149th's vehicles had been issued to a male unit and items ranging from kitchen equipment to typewriters had disappeared.
It was infeasible to deny Army commanders the ability to command the women working for them and to apply differing rules for women.
Army men in a war zone received such additional benefits as extra pay, government life insurance, veteran's medical care if injured.
According to Sergeant Vida Ganoni's memoir, a little over two weeks after their arrival in Algiers, on February 11, 1943, an announcement of promotions caused an uproar.
With the July 1, 1943 enactment of legislation converting the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps to the Women's Army Corps (WACs), the women were given the summer to decide whether to apply to join the Army upon the September 1943 changeover.
During this time, changes such as more dispersed housing assignments and the unit's absorption into the 6666th or 6667th Hq Co, WAC—which applied to all women in the theater—caused significant unhappiness in the ranks that identified themselves as close-knit 149ers.
Treadwell's Army history attributed the situation to administrative difficulties and the lack of a WAAC staff director for the theater—a one-time mistake.
When General Eisenhower learned that a large number of the 149th did not plan to continue as WACs, he requested that a highly competent senior WAAC officer be sent immediately.
Upon her return to the States in October 1943, Marquis was assigned to assist in the WAC recruiting drive with speeches and interviews describing her time in North Africa.
Myriad problems ranging from counterproductive messaging to active obstruction from the War Manpower Commission afflicted WAC recruiting, but a slander campaign proved a largely unstoppable blow.
Although many sources spawned and fed bad jokes and ugly rumors about military women,<ref name=6/9/1943Star></ref> contemporaneous and historical accounts have focused on the work of syndicated columnist John O'Donnell.
While still abroad, Marquis participated in a counteroffensive with newspaper<ref name=7/13/1943ChicagoTrib></ref> and radio interviews discussing her troops' life in the military, including their commitment as volunteers, qualifications and training, assignments, long work hours, supervised social life, and housing in a convent.
In truth, the only pregnant 149er was married to an Army officer—she had not discovered her condition until after she arrived in the theater, at which point she returned home.
Marquis was sent on a well-publicized nationwide tour, speaking to women's groups, WAC trainees, college women, and business groups about the WACs' overseas experiences.
Around the time Marquis' WAACs arrived in Algiers, Zouave forces (with roots as local North Africans in the French Army),<ref name=11/3/1943PortageRegister></ref> were the first to stop the Nazi advance at Medjez-El-Bab in Tunisia.
Vastly outnumbered and equipped with World War I era rifles, the Zouaves beat back German and Italian forces in a 36-hour battle.
On the eve of her departure from Algiers in late September 1943, the Franco-American Goodwill Society (Bonne Volontḗ Franco-Amḗricaine) held a luncheon to honor Marquis.
Having previously served Altrusa (an organization of professional women's clubs focused on community service) as president of the New York City chapter and publicity chairman of the international organization of clubs, Marquis became Altrusa International's official United Nations observer and traveled about the country giving speeches on the workings of the United Nations.
Marquis was also active in such organizations as Camp Fire Girls, serving as the president of the Council of Greater New York and representing New York on the National Council.
Marquis became a life member of the West Newbury Historical Society in 1960 and later donated some of her papers and medals to that organization.

The red wall, sometimes Labour's red wall, is a term used in the politics of the United Kingdom to describe a set of constituencies in the Midlands and Northern England which historically tended to support the Labour Party.
When viewed on a map of previous results, the block of seats held by the party resembled the shape of a red wall, coloured red, which has traditionally been used to represent Labour.
This effect is exaggerated when results are projected into a map showing equal-size constituencies: in 2017, continuous blocks of red spanned the longitudinal distance across the North of England.
The Conservatives gained a number of previously safe northern Labour seats in the 2017 election, such as NE Derbyshire, Wallsall North, Mansfield, Stoke-on-Trent South, and Copeland (held from the 2017 Copeland by-election).
Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage has suggested prior support of many northern Labour voters for UKIP and the Brexit Party made it easier for them to vote Conservative.
The Labour Party lost 47 seats net in England, losing approximately 20% of its 2017 general election support in red wall seats.
All of these seats voted to leave the EU by substantial margins, and Brexit appears to have played a role in these seat changes.
Voters in Bolsover and swing voters of the type thought to be typified by Workington man cited Brexit and the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn as reasons why they voted against Labour.
Labour lost so much support in the red wall in some seats, like Sedgefield, Ashfield and Workington, that even without the vote increase for the Conservatives, the Conservatives would have taken those seats.
Journalist Nicholas Farrell has used the term to describe historically left-supporting regions of Italy, such as Emilia-Romagna which are under comparable pressure by Matteo Salvini and his right-wing populist Lega Nord party.

Born on 25 February 1867 in Horsens, Emilie Marie Dagmar Alexandersen was the daughter of the house painter Peder Alexandersen (1830–1904) and Helene Stockholm (1877–1896).
Borup had to abandon her career as a pianist when she began to suffer from a nerve disorder in her arms.
Borup succeeded in having it adopted by the Royal Danish Ballet school where she was teaching in 1927 and in 1930, she had it included in the curriculum of the Royal Music Academy where she taught from 1930 to 1936.
She trained some 40 of her students in the aural method at the academy and used the ballet school as a practical setting for examining those who intended to become academics.

The Sardines movement (), also known as Sardines against Salvini (), is a grassroots political movement, which began in Italy in November 2019.
The movement organized an ongoing series of peaceful demonstrations to protest against the right-wing surge in the country and, more specifically, against the political rhetoric of right-wing leader Matteo Salvini.
The Sardines movement started as a flash mob on 14 November 2019, organized in Piazza Maggiore, the main square of Bologna, Emilia-Romagna.
The aim of the event was to contrast the launch of Matteo Salvini's electoral campaign for the 2020 regional election at the PalaDozza in Bologna.
The movement rose up during the electoral campaign for the 2020 Emilia-Romagna regional election, which has been considered as the first competitive one in the history of the region.
Emilia-Romagna has been a stronghold of left-wing parties since the end of the World War II, but in the 2018 general election the centre-right coalition became the largest political force in the region.
The first Sardines' rally was warmly welcomed by the Democratic Party (PD), especially by its secretary Nicola Zingaretti, its president and former Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni and Emilia-Romagna incumbent governor Stefano Bonaccini.
On 18 November, a second Sardines' rally gathered Piazza Grande in Modena, with more than 7,000 people taking part in the event.
On 1 December, more than 25,000 people participated in a rally in Piazza Duomo in Milan, while on the previous day, almost 30,000 gathered Piazza della Repubblica in Florence.
The rally was characterized by a 6-hour long concert with singers and artists like Afterhours, Subsonica, Marracash, Matilda De Angelis, Skiantos, Casa del vento, Bandabardò, Modena City Ramblers, Marlene Kuntz and Pif.
The movement declares itself not linked to any party and to mainly pursue the ideals of anti-fascism and the fight against racial discrimination, as well as the rejection of right-wing populism and verbal violence in Italian politics, which they claim should be legally considered as physical violence.
According to some political commentators, the movement would be limited only to a generic critique of the right-wing, with its open opposition to Matteo Salvini, who is depicted as an authoritarian and undemocratic leader.
It is almost four and a half kilometers long and has been out of service since the Reichsbahner strike in September 1980.
After the station, it makes an extensive 90-degree angle, runs briefly to the west, where the Siemensstadt station is located (both in the district of Siemensstadt), and then to the northwest.
Almost the entire length of the route is designed as a viaduct railway, only the terminus at Gartenfeld is at ground level.
In 1905, the Siemens group had its own train station set up for its employees so that they could get to work faster.
The station opened on the Hamburg and Lehrter Bahn as Fürstenbrunn (later: Siemensstadt-Fürstenbrunn) initially had high passenger numbers, but was still unfavorable on the site.
Since the factory center also moved to northern Siemensstadt in the 1920s, the factory management was looking for an alternative solution.
This arrangement was also possible because CEO Carl Friedrich von Siemens was also President of the Board of Directors of the DRG.
Of the roughly 90,000 employees that Siemens employed in Siemensstadt at the time, around 17,000 used the S-Bahn to and from their workplace every five minutes.
At this point, the Siemens freight railway had already been provisionally connected to the Gartenfeld S-Bahn station via a wooden ramp, since the Wehrmacht had blown up the Spree Bridge.
As a result, the trains were pulled back to Jungfernheide, and mostly older vehicles of the ET 168 and ET 165 series were used, which last ran every 20 minutes with 30 to 40 passengers.
With the Siemensdamm and Rohrdamm stations on the U7 underground line, which opened in October 1980, Siemensstadt had an alternative to the Wernerwerk and Siemensstadt stations.
In 2005, when the Charlottenburg lock was built, the Spree was relocated, partially removing the railway embankment between the junction of the ring railway and the southern bank of the Spree and demolishing the foreland bridge of the Spree bridge.
Negotiations between the Deutsche Regionalale and Deutsche Bahn to take over the infrastructure between Wernerwerk and Gartenfeld were unsuccessful in 2008.
Since the decommissioning, Deutsche Bahn AG or the districts of Spandau and Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, in which the railway line runs, have carried out only a few maintenance works on the decaying and overgrown track systems, the substructure and the train stations.
In 2014, the architect and lecturer at the Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences Rebecca Chestnutt-Niess worked with students to develop designs for subsequent use.
The re-urbanization project of the Siemensbahn included the establishment of a swimming lane on a section of the route, the targeted greening of the viaduct and the setting up of a foot and cycle path.
The route would run along the old Berlin-Spandau shipping canal, through the beaver protection area and parallel to Rhenaniastraße to a new Daumstraße station and then cross or cross the Havel to the new terminus at Hakenfelde on Streitstraße, south of the Goltzstraße intersection.
After Siemens AG decided in October 2018 to build a campus in Siemensstadt for research purposes, the group and the Senate spoke out in favor of reactivating the Siemensbahn.
In combination with the further expansion of the water city and the new construction of the island of Gartenfeld, the need to reactivate the Siemens Railway is increasing.
The reconstruction was subsequently included in the i2030 transport project of the two federal states of Berlin and Brandenburg and the DB AG.
In November 2019, DB Netz AG tendered for the creation of a feasibility study for the second construction phase Gartenfeld - Hakenfelde across Europe.
The DB-1 is a West German sailboat that was designed by E. G. van de Stadt and Cees van Tongeren as an International Offshore Rule Three-Quarter Ton class racer and first built in 1980.
The design was built by Dehler Yachts, owned by the Dehler brothers, Willi and Heinz, in West Germany starting in 1980, but it is now out of production.
It has a fractional sloop rig with running backstays, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel.

In March 2019, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Theresa May and European leaders negotiated an extension for the Parliament of the United Kingdom to ratify the Brexit withdrawal agreement.
The EU position was that the negotiation of terms for withdrawal had already ended in November 2018, and that the extension was only to give the UK Parliament more time to consider the Agreement.
Negotiations during 2019 have been primarily within the UK Parliament on whether to accept the Theresa May Government's negotiated settlement, to leave the EU without any agreement, or to abandon Brexit.
In July, the newly assembled Boris Johnson ministry declared intention to re-open negotiations on the withdrawal agreement, with the Irish backstop removed as a pre-condition.
The Benn Act, passed by the UK parliament in September, required the prime minister to seek a further extension in the event that by 19 October, a deal has not been reached and parliament has not given its consent to a No-deal Brexit.
In December 2019, various US officials said a trade deal was likely before a proposed round of new tariffs took effect on 15 December 2019.

Suzanne Masson (born in Doullens, France on 10 July 1901, died 1 November 1943 in Hamburg, Germany) was a union activist and communist, who was executed for her work in the French Resistance during World War II.
Suzanne Masson was hired as a designer at the Rateau factory (now Alstom) in La Courneuve, a northern suburb of Paris, where from the mid-1920s, she was an industrial design technician, the only woman at this level of qualification at the factory.
In 1938 she was released from the turbine factory because of her involvement in strikes there with the federation of the French Communist Party of the Seine.
In La Courneuve, she was instrumental in setting up the local resistance group and with her CGT comrades who had gone underground.
On February 5, 1942, she was discovered and fled to her house at 95, boulevard Macdonald in Paris where she was arrested by the police of the French Vichy government who were cooperating with German occupiers.
In June 1943 at Lauerhof prison, she was tried for possession of weapons, her calls for resistance against the German occupiers, and her clandestine connections with the French Communist Party.
She was given the opportunity to plea for mercy but she refused to do so, declaring in court that it was her duty as a French patriot and communist to fight for humanity.
In 1946, Masson was posthumously given the French Order of Merit and appointed Knight of the French Legion of Honor by Ambroise Croizat, Minister of Labor and Social Security.
In October 1950, a Paris trade union educational institution, the Suzanne Masson Center (in the 12th arrondissement of Paris), was named after her.
In 2005, a street (the rue de la Gare), near the La Courneuve - Aubervilliers railway station, was renamed rue Suzanne-Masson.
On the site of the Hamburg prison, a plaque on the back wall of the detention center commemorates the two fighters who were killed there.

In 1888 he joined the West London Society of Upholsterers, but the following year, he founded a new East End Society of Upholsterers.
He took the society into the Amalgamated Union of Upholsterers (AUU), and in 1894 he became the secretary of a new branch of the union, catering for piece workers.
He also tried to arrange a merger between it, the National Amalgamated Furnishing Trades Association (NAFTA), the Amalgamated Union of Cabinetmakers and the Amalgamated Society of French Polishers, but discussions in both 1909 and 1913 failed as agreement could not be reached on levels of membership fees and benefits.
In 1918, he transformed the union by admitting all workers in the industry, regardless of perceived level of skill, and for the first time including women.
A total of 19 teams compete in the qualifying stages to decide four of the 32 places in the group stage of the 2020 Copa Libertadores.
The draw for the qualifying stages<includeonly> and group stage</includeonly> was held on 17 December 2019, 20:30 PYST (), at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay.

It was one of the first 'Mixed' regiments in which women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service were integrated into the unit's personnel.
It defended West Yorkshire and the North Midlands against aerial attack until it became the first Mixed anti-aircraft (AA) unit to serve overseas, defending Brussels against V-1 flying bombs.
By 1941, after almost two years of war Anti-Aircraft Command, tasked with defending the UK against air attack, was suffering a manpower shortage.
In April its commander-in-chief, Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick 'Tim' Pile, proposed to overcome this by utilising the women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS).
The ATS was by law a non-combatant service, but it was decided that Defence Regulations permitted the employment of women in anti-aircraft (AA) roles other than actually firing the guns.
They worked the radar and plotting instruments, range-finders and predictors, ran command posts and communications, and carried out many other duties.
With the increasing automation of heavy AA (HAA) guns, including gun-laying, fuze-setting and ammunition loading under remote control from the predictor, the question of who actually fired the gun became blurred as the war progressed.
The ATS rank and file, if not always their officers, took to the new role with enthusiasm and 'Mixed' batteries and regiments with the ATS supplying two-thirds of their personnel quickly proved a success.
The first of these new batteries took over an operational gun site in Richmond Park, south-west London, in August 1941, and complete regiments soon followed, including 139th (Mixed) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, whose regimental headquarters formed at Rotherham, West Yorkshire, on 1 December 1941.
In January 1942 the new regiment was assigned to 62 AA Brigade, responsible for the defence of Leeds and Sheffield in West Yorkshire under 10th Anti-Aircraft Division.
In the Spring of 1942 a new phase in the air campaign began with the so-called Baedeker Blitz mainly directed against undefended British cities.
In 10th AA Division's area, York was accurately hit on 28 April, Hull on 19 May and 31 July, and Grimsby on 29 May, but the strongly defended towns of West Yorkshire were not attacked.
139th (M) HAA Regiment sent a cadre to 7th HAA Training Rgt at Oswestry where it formed 582 (M) HAA Bty on 27 July 1942; this battery served with 172nd (M) HAA Rgt.
As new units joined AA Command, more experienced ones were being posted away to train for service overseas, particularly for the planned invasion of North Africa (Operation Torch).
62 AA Brigade HQ was one such, transferring to First Army in August, while its AA Command commitments were taken up by other formations: 139th (M) HAA Rgt came under the command of 65 AA Bde.
In the autumn of 1943 AA Command was asked to make cuts to free manpower for the forthcoming Allied invasion of Normandy (Operation Overlord), and some AA sites in the Midlands were abandoned.
In February 1944, 139th (M) HAA Rgt was switched to the command of 63 AA Bde and 668 (M) HAA Bty was disbanded.
AA Command had planned for this and Operation Diver was put into effect, with large numbers of AA units moving to South East England.
139th (M) HAA Regiment came under the temporary command of 41 AA Bde, which took over additional responsibilities for units left in the North Midlands until 63 AA Bde HQ returned.
A second campaign of air-launched missiles coming in from the North Sea led to a second redeployment by AA Command to East Anglia, but again 139th (M) HAA Rgt was unaffected by the moves.
Once 21st Army Group had liberated Brussels and Antwerp, these cities became targets for V-1s launched from within Germany, and anti-Diver or 'X' defences had to be established.
AA Command's experience had shown that the power-operated, remotely controlled static Mk IIC 3.7-inch HAA gun, which had power traverse and automatic fuze-setting, accompanied by the most sophisticated Radar No 3 Mark V (the SCR-584 radar set) and No 10 Predictor (the all-electric Bell Labs AAA Computer), were required to deal effectively with V-1s, but 21st Army Group's mobile HAA units did not have experience with this equipment.
The regiment was still deployed around Nottingham in early November 1944 when it was ordered to move overseas at war establishment.
This meant leaving behind one battery (518, which became independent) and finding 200 ATS reinforcements to bring the other three up to the required strength.
The regiment's advance parties arrived in Antwerp on 18 November and spent an uncomfortable week in temporary accommodation under V-1 attack before moving on to Brussels.
These sites lacked all provision for a static HAA gun position: there were no gun platforms, access roads, water supply, drainage or accommodation.
The Royal Canadian Engineers erected a few huts for the ATS, while the men slept in tents despite the cold weather.
The gun platforms required 2000 tons of rubble to be tipped onto soft ground, with another 800 tons for hardstandings, although the access roads were built as single tracks that were blocked by the gun transporters.
Two gun positions were ready for action on 22 December and on 28 December 484 (M) HAA Bty fired its first rounds at incoming missiles.
The Brussels 'X' defences under 101 AA Brigade involved an outer line of Wireless Observer Units sited to in front of the guns to give 8 minutes' warning, then Local Warning (LW) stations positioned half way, equipped with radar to begin plotting individual missiles.
Finally there was an inner belt of Observation Posts (OPs), about in front of the guns to give visual confirmation that the tracked target was a missile.
Unlike the anti-Diver guns firing over the English Channel or North Sea, VT Proximity fuzes could not be employed by the HAA batteries at Brussels because of the risk of casualties to troops and civilians under the missiles' flightpath.
The success rate of the Brussels X defences had been low at first, but after the arrival of Mk IIC guns and experienced crews from AA Command the results improved considerably, with best results in February and March 1945.
The number of missiles launched at Brussels dropped rapidly as 21st Army Group continued its advance, and in the last week the AA defences destroyed 97.5 per cent of those reaching the defence belt.
By 27 April, 139th (Mixed) HAA Regiment had been stood down,and on 3 May its personnel were back at Ticknall, near Derby, where the regiment and its three batteries were disbanded, five days before the war in Europe ended on VE Day.
While the male members of the regiment wore the Royal Artillery's 'gun' cap badge, the women wore the ATS cap badge, but in addition they wore the RA's 'grenade' collar badge as a special badge above the left breast pocket of the tunic.
The 2019-20 Bemidji State Beavers men's ice hockey season was the 64th season of play for the program, the 21st at the Division I level and the 10th in the WCHA conference.

Thomas B. Hess (b.1920 in Rye, New York - d. July 13, 1978) was an American art editor and curator perhaps best known for his twenty some odd year tenure at the helm of Artnews and his championing, mounting exhibitions of the works of, and writing on the artists Willem DeKooning and Barnett Newman.
Thomas Baer Hess was born in suburban Rye in Westchester County, New York the son of a New York City lawyer Gabriel Lorie Hess and wife, Helen Baer Hess .
He then went on to do his undergraduate studies in French Art and Literature at Yale University from which he graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1942.
in 1944 having returned from his war service Hess went to work at ArtNews under Alfred Frankfurter and in 1949 was named executive editor of the publication.
In the final year of his life Hess was appointed by the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Philippe de Montebello to replace Henry Geldzahler as the chief curator of 20th century art at the museum.
However on July 13th of that year Hess died of a heart attack one day short of what would have been his 58th birhtday.
PT-20 was commissioned by the United States Navy and laid down on 14 October 1940 at the Elco Works of the Electric Launch Company (now Electric Boat Company) at their Bayonne, New Jersey shipyard; launched on 14 Mar 1941; and completed on 9 June 1941.
On 20 June 1941, she was commissioned and attached to Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron Two (MTBRon 2) under the command of Lt. Comdr.
On 13 August 1941, she was transferred to Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron One (MTBRon 1) under the command of Lt. William C. Specht and assigned to Pearl Harbor.
In May 1942, the squadron was reassigned to Lt. Clinton McKellar Jr. and tasked with the defense of Midway Island being lead by Marine Corps Colonel Harold D. Shannon.
The squadron made the 1,385 mile trip under their own power, then the longest made by PT boats to date refueling at Necker Island, French Frigate Shoals, and Lisianski Island.
After the battle, the squadron was sent to attack the remainder of the Japanese task force but was unable to locate the target.
In histone acetylation and deacetylation, histone proteins are acetylated and deacetylated on lysine residues in the N-terminal tail as part of gene regulation.
The regulation of transcription factors, effector proteins, molecular chaperones, and cytoskeletal proteins by acetylation and deacetylation is a significant post-translational regulatory mechanism These regulatory mechanisms are analogous to phosphorylation and dephosphorylation by the action of kinases and phosphatases.
Not only can the acetylation state of a protein modify its activity but there has been recent suggestion that this post-translational modification may also crosstalk with phosphorylation, methylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation, and others for dynamic control of cellular signaling.
In the field of epigenetics, histone acetylation (and deacetylation) have been shown to be important mechanisms in the regulation of gene transcription.
The basic structural unit of chromatin is the nucleosome: this consists of the core octamer of histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) as well as a linker histone and about 180 base pairs of DNA.
The post-translational modification of histone tails by either histone modifying complexes or chromatin remodelling complexes are interpreted by the cell and lead to complex, combinatorial transcriptional output.
It is thought that a Histone code dictates the expression of genes by a complex interaction between the histones in a particular region.
Martin Mares (born 30 July 1987) is a British historian and scholar with a special interest in the history of piracy.
Mares is a researcher at University College London, a member of the Royal Historical Society, and a research associate at Oxford University.
Mares also holds a degree in English Literature and Philosophy, exploring writers from the Victorian period through the classical philosophical concepts of Aristotle.
In 2016, Mares published a widely-popular article about , discussing the movie on the basis of Disney's use of psychological appeal on the principle of nostalgia.
He went on to study at Masaryk University, Brno, while spending the academic year 2007 in New York as an exchange student.
He completed his Master of Arts (MA) degree in 2013, while he simultaneously undertook Humanities studies at Anglo-American University, graduating in 2015.
Between 2013 and 2016, Mares had resided with his wife in New York, where he utilised this opportunity to conduct his further archival research on the history of maritime piracy in Northern America.
In 2018, Mares has published an academic article about James Hunt, one of the understudied British proponents of Victorian scientific racism, presenting Hunt as one of the most influential figures for the later development of racist beliefs.
In 2014, Mares published his work 'The Art of Creating a Free City: A Philosophical Analysis with Special Focus on Ancient Societies', making the case that modern societies, compared to ancient Greeks, are driven by the dogmatic beliefs in the economics as an ultimate governing force, which separates and fragments the civic society into entrenched groups, crippling the democracy itself.
By contrast, Mares uses the examples of Greek city states, agoras and Plato's concept of justice as fairness to propose a different model for thinking about the civic society.
Mares illustrated this understanding by using examples of Achilles, Odysseus and Diomedes, presenting them as different avatars of such heroic qualities.
Since the late 2000s, Mares has contributed to various historical magazines and periodicals, including Živá Historie (Living History), York Historian, HISTORY Revue, Honey History, LEVEL Magazine, ABC, Excalibur or 'Pevnost'.
Since 2013, Mares has regularly attended the St. Luke Fundraiser for Haiti, an annual charity evening taking place in New York.
Mares is known for his support of several African wildlife protection and conservation organisations, including David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, an orphanage for elephants based in Kenya.
Mares' frequent travels to Africa led him to join a group of academics, supporting the preservation of dying African Yaaku language.

Nanette Guilford (17 August 1903, New York – 17 March 1990, New York), born Nanette Gutman, was an American opera singer (soprano), voice teacher and recording entrepreneur.
She is best known for singing at the Metropolitan Opera House from 1923 to 1932 and as one of the first American singers to establish operatic career without studying in Europe.
The couple knew each other for three years before marriage and were engaged for six months keeping secret the news of the engagement to escape publicity.
The marriage was over after fifteen months, in 1930 when Guilford filled the suit for divorce on the grounds of incompatibility of temperament.
Charley Panaretta, the top hitman for Don Carraro's family, meets an enormous, but very beautiful blonde dancer in one of the Family's nightclubs.
She calls herself Mardell La Tour and says that she is English and is partially guided through life by radio waves emanating from Buckingham Palace.
Actually she Grace Willand Crowell, daughter of an immensely wealthy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs whose family lives in Georgetown.
To help a friend of hers who is striving for a master's degree in sociology, Mardell, an aspiring actress, has assumed a number of off-beat real-life identities in the last year in order to provide insights about different levels of society for her friend.
At the same time that Charley begins a highly emotional but also sexual affair with Mardell, Maerose Prizzi, a granddaughter of the powerful Don, has been mapping out her future career in which she aims to become the first female Don of a family.
She soon begins a sexual affair with the hapless Charley, who is now buffeted between the increasingly strident emotional demands of the two women—as well as carrying out his primary duties, that of eliminating various people across the United States seen as threats to various high-ranking members of the Prizzi family.
Events come to a surreal semi-climax at an enormous engagement party that Don Carraro has organized for Maerose and Charley—to the stupefaction of her family, Maerose becomes embarrassingly drunk and runs off to Mexico City with one of the male guests.
After that, it only remains for Charley to carry out another multiple homicide for the family, to bring back four thumbs to the Don, and to allow Mardell to withdraw herself from his life.
Condon attacked his targets, usually gangsters, financiers, and politicians, wholeheartedly but with a uniquely original style and wit that made almost any paragraph from one of his books instantly recognizable.
In Prizzi's Honor, Condon's normal exuberance was somewhat curbed by choosing to narrate the events through the viewpoints of its various semi-literate gangsters, which limited the scope of his imagery.
All of Condon's books have, to an unknown degree, the names of real people in them as characters, generally very minor or peripheral.
The real-life Heller was a television director in New York City in the 1950s, '60s, and 70s, who initially lived on Long Island and then moved to a house on Rockrimmon Road in Stamford, Connecticut.
Obsessed with Mardell yet pulled by loyalty and lust to Maerose, Charley is trapped between them, all the while carrying out his regular duties as the Prizzi enforcer.
Condon serves up this zesty mix with good humor, broadside slams at politicians and evangelism, and generous helpings of Sicilian food.
...the sketches of Mafia viciousness and hypocrisy are often deliciously mordant; and, with those movie characterizations to bolster Charley and Maerose in the reader's mind, there's enough dark whimsy and oafish pathos here to provide earthy, quirky, fast-moving entertainment.
Defendant then delivered a felonious assault, using characters with no sense of reality to them who were involved in story lines that have more holes than a shooting victim.
But Defendant Condon did enter bookstores in disdain of criminal code 155.40 (grand larceny, first degree) in that he enticed people who trust his name and loved his past successes and that in doing so, he committed the crime of grand larceny, first degree.

H3K56ac is important for chromatin remodeling and serves as a marker of new nucleosomes during DNA replication but its role in the cell cycle is debated.
Lysine 56 is located at the amino-terminal αN-helix and close to the site where the DNA enters and exits the nucleosome.
Sirtuins can catalyze the removal of the acetyl group from K56 H3K56ac levels are elevated in cancer and pluripotent cells.TRIM66 reads unmodified H3R2K4 and H3K56ac to respond to DNA damage.
In histone acetylation and deacetylation, histone proteins are acetylated and deacetylated on lysine residues in the N-terminal tail as part of gene regulation.
The regulation of transcription factors, effector proteins, molecular chaperones, and cytoskeletal proteins by acetylation and deacetylation is a significant post-translational regulatory mechanism These regulatory mechanisms are analogous to phosphorylation and dephosphorylation by the action of kinases and phosphatases.
Not only can the acetylation state of a protein modify its activity but there has been recent suggestion that this post-translational modification may also crosstalk with phosphorylation, methylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation, and others for dynamic control of cellular signaling.
In the field of epigenetics, histone acetylation (and deacetylation) have been shown to be important mechanisms in the regulation of gene transcription.
The basic structural unit of chromatin is the nucleosome: this consists of the core octamer of histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) as well as a linker histone and about 180 base pairs of DNA.
The post-translational modification of histone tails by either histone modifying complexes or chromatin remodelling complexes are interpreted by the cell and lead to complex, combinatorial transcriptional output.
It is thought that a Histone code dictates the expression of genes by a complex interaction between the histones in a particular region.

The 2019–20 Pyramids season is the 11th season in the football club's history and 3rd consecutive and 4th overall season in the top flight of Egyptian football, the Egyptian Premier League, having been promoted from the Egyptian Second Division in 2017.
In addition to the domestic league, Pyramids are also participating in this season's editions of the domestic cup, the Egypt Cup and the second-tier African cup, the CAF Confederation Cup.
Pyramids entered the competition from the round of 32 and were given a home tie against Egyptian Second Division side Nogoom.
The bracket of the tournament was also decided at the time of the round of 32 draw; meaning that the path to the final for each time was decided prior to playing any matches.
Pyramids entered the competition for the first time in their history after finishing 3rd in the previous season of the league.
Pyramids were drawn against the winner of the tie involving CR Belouizdad from Algeria and AS CotonTchad from Chad, which was won by the former.
Pyramids were drawn against Young Africans from Tanzania, who were transferred to the CAF Confederation Cup from the CAF Champions League after losing their tie in the first round.
Pyramids were drawn in Group A alongside FC Nouadhibou from Mauritania, Enugu Rangers from Nigeria and fellow Egyptian side Al Masry.

The Antwerp Trade Fair is an events venue in the Belgian city of Antwerp, located in the Twaalfmaandenstraat, a side street of the Meir.
From 1531 to 1661 it was the site of the world's first dedicated commodity exchange, and after extensive renovations it housed the Antwerp stock exchange from 1872 until 1997.
After the 1997 merger of the Antwerp stock exchange with the Brussels stock exchange, and the advent of online trading, the exchange building in Antwerp fell into disuse, with various proposals to redevelop the building going nowhere for fifteen years.
In October 2014, it was announced that the new building application for the project was approved by the city of Antwerp.
But at the beginning of December 2014, it became known that various local residents had appealed to the permanent deputation of the province against the building permit.
In April 2015, the province confirmed the building permit on the condition of a few adjustments to meet the concerns of local residents.
It was organised as the first 'Mixed' regiment in which women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service were integrated into the unit's personnel, though it later reverted to an all-male organisation.
By 1941, after two years of war Anti-Aircraft Command, tasked with defending the UK against air attack, was suffering a manpower shortage.
In April its commander-in-chief, Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick 'Tim' Pile, proposed to overcome this by utilising the women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS).
The ATS was by law a non-combatant service, but it was decided that Defence Regulations permitted the employment of women in anti-aircraft (AA) roles other than actually firing the guns.
They worked the radar and plotting instruments, range-finders and predictors, ran command posts and communications, and carried out many other duties.
With the increasing automation of heavy AA (HAA) guns, including gun-laying, fuze-setting and ammunition loading under remote control from the predictor, the question of who actually fired the gun became blurred as the war progressed.
The ATS rank and file, if not always their officers, took to the new role with enthusiasm and 'Mixed' batteries and regiments with the ATS supplying two-thirds of their personnel quickly proved a success.
The first of these new batteries took over an operational gun site in Richmond Park, south-west London, in August 1941, and the first full regiment of converted batteries soon followed: 131st (Mixed) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, whose regimental headquarters (RHQ) formed at Bitterne, near Southampton, on 25 August.
It served with the regiment until 2 April 1942 when it was reduced to a cadre to form the basis of a mixed battery at 205th HAA Training Rgt, Arborfield, but once it had completed conversion 458 (M) HAA Bty did not return to the regiment and instead joined a new 160th (M) HAA Rgt forming at Fort Fareham, Hampshire.
428 HAA Battery, also all-male, joined 131st (M) HAA Rgt from 54th (City of London) HAA Rgt on 29 December 1941.
131st HAA Regiment supplied a cadre to 207th HAA Training Rgt at Devizes as the basis of a new 520 (M) HAA Bty formed on 15 January 1942; this joined 152nd (M) HAA Rgt.
After formation, 131st (M) HAA Rgt was assigned to 35th Anti-Aircraft Brigade, part of 5th Anti-Aircraft Division tasked with defending Southampton and Portsmouth.
However, 310 and 368 (M) HAA Btys came under the control of 8th Anti-Aircraft Division defending the area west of Southampton.
In late 1941 and early 1942 RHQ only had 428 and 458 HAA Btys under its direct command, and lost its 'Mixed' designation.
After 458 HAA Bty left for conversion, and 428 Bty came under the control of 72nd (Hampshire) HAA Rgt, RHQ had no batteries under its direct command until it was joined on 10 July 1942 by another all-male battery, 376 HAA Bty from 97th (London Scottish) HAA Rgt.
The regiment and its four batteries (310, 368, 376, and 428), now all-male, left for 37 AA Bde in 6th Anti-Aircraft Division in July 1942.
37 AA Brigade operated the 'Thames North' AA layout in Essex, a key part of the AA defences of London against raiders flying up the Thames Estuary; 376 HAA Bty was under the operational command of 71 AA Bde, which was newly forming in 6 AA Division.
However, this deployment did not last long, and in August 1942 the regiment moved again, to 70 AA Bde in 4th Anti-Aircraft Division in North West England, with 376 and 428 HAA Btys attached to 33 (Western) AA Bde in Liverpool, 376 later coming under 44 AA Bde at Manchester.
In October 1942, 4th AA Division had been replaced by 4 AA Group and by March 1943 the regiment had moved to 53 AA Bde within that group.
First 310 and then 428 HAA Btys were attached for a time to 5 AA Group in North East England and then on 3 August 1943 the regiment began to disperse.
While the male members of the regiment wore the Royal Artillery's 'gun' cap badge, the women wore the ATS cap badge, but in addition they wore the RA's 'grenade' collar badge as a special badge above the left breast pocket of the tunic.

Originally laid out as St. James Square in 1848, local newspapers dubbed the site a park in 1885, shortly after a fountain was installed in the center of the area.
St. James Park was the site of a notorious lynching in 1933 of the two who were accused of kidnapping and murdering Brooke Hart.
Since then, the park has been bisected by a road and light rail tracks; it is now a focus of the homeless population of San Jose.
St. James Square was mapped in 1848 as part of the official survey of the city by Charles Lyman, but not further developed until after Trinity Episcopal Church was erected next to the square in 1863; the Square was developed in the late 1860s, starting with a fence erected in 1866.
It was one of three public squares in San Jose at the time, alongside Washington Square (site of present-day San Jose State) and Market Plaza (now Plaza de César Chávez); O'Donnell was responsible for all three.
Under O'Donnell's plan, the landscaping effort was in planting hundreds of trees to provide shade, a rarity in downtown San Jose at the time.
Although oral histories indicate that Frederick Law Olmsted was involved in the initial design of the park, his formal participation has not been confirmed.
One of the first major features was a fountain at the park's center; it was built in 1885 and the area began to be called St. James Park instead of St. James Square at about this time.
According to contemporary photographs, the fountain contained a standing female figure, with water spilling from an urn held over the statue's head.
Ulrich is credited with adding rows of palm trees along North First and Third streets to provide a more formal border between the park and encroaching downtown businesses.
By 1891, formal diagonal and curvilinear paths had been laid through the park, according to contemporary photographs and that year's Sanborn Fire Insurance Map.
President William McKinley visited San Jose on May 13, 1901 en route to San Francisco; plans for his welcome included a giant bouquet of cut flowers tall and in circumference at the western entrance to St. James Park, billed as the largest bouquet ever made.
After his assassination in September 1901, citizens of San Jose held a memorial service at St. James Park and began planning a permanent monument.
On February 21, 1903, the statue was unveiled on the site where the president had spoken to the public during his visit to the city in May 1901.
The standing bronze sculpture, mounted on a granite pedestal, was executed by Rupert Schmid at a cost of , paid through private donations.
A brass cannon is at the foot of the McKinley monument; it has been the site of vigilante justice, including a 1918 incident in which George Koetzer, a brewery employee, was accused of making pro-German remarks, for which he was tarred and feathered, then chained to the cannon.
Diagonal paths connect the corners of the park with the central fountain plaza; additional paths cutting east-west and north-south through the center of the park are also present, along with a meandering path connecting all four corners slightly in from the park's perimeter.
The 1885 fountain was demolished in a remodel that occurred under a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project to renovate the park in the 1930s.
Various WPA projects brought a new post office to the park's western edge and restrooms at the northern and southern ends of the park; the restrooms were removed in the 1950s.
During the construction of the post office, Harold Thurmond and John Holmes were lynched in St. James Park for the kidnapping and murder of Brooke Hart in November 1933.
Construction materials from the post office were used to storm the city jail where the men were being held; the trees in the park from which the men were hanged (not far from the McKinley memorial) were removed shortly afterward to deter souvenir-seekers.
Kennedy had spoken at St. James Park on March 23, 1968 while running for president; he was assassinated later that year.
In 1994, the Memorial Bell for San Jose firefighters was moved to the park from Plaza de César Chávez; it was subsequently relocated to Old Fire Station 1 in 2001.
Voters narrowly passed an initiative to extend North Second Street through the center of the park in 1952 to accommodate increased traffic, and the extension was completed in 1955, bisecting it; a later proposal to remove North Second in 1976 failed.
A senior center was constructed in 1973 in the northeast quadrant of the park, using modular structures that were intended to be temporary.
A replacement fountain was constructed between 1988 and 1990 in the western half of the park, but is presently not functioning.
St. James Park is bounded by East St. James Street (on the north), North Third St (on the east), East St. John St (on the south), and North First St (on the west); it is divided into western and eastern halves by North Second Street.
As originally laid out, it measured (east-west between North First and North Third) and (north-south from East St James to East St John).
It is served by the Saint James Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority light rail stop; northbound trains stop along the western edge, along North First, and southbound trains stop in the center of the park, along North Second.
The St. James Square Historic District established in 1979 consisted of St. James Park along with nine contributing properties surrounding it.
One of the properties listed as contributing to the Historic District, the Clarence Letcher Garage or Four-Wheel Brake Building at the corner of N 1st and St James, most recently housed the Oasis nightclub until it was shut down in 1996 following the beating death of Jason Cooper; the building was demolished in 2010.
Clarence Letcher was a prominent San Jose automobile dealer who was shot and killed by his wife in a murder-suicide that occurred at the Garage on July 3, 1926.
Inside is a handcuffed corpse; the ex-lover of the dead man was the son of a serving detective inspector in what was the old Lothian & Borders Police Force of Rebus' day before it became Police Scotland.
As ever, Rebus and also 'Big Ger' Cafferty, are connected to the case and end up featuring prominently in the investigation, of which Detective Inspector Siobhan Clarke is also a major player in.
Ian Rankin has stated that inspiration for the novel in part came from the murder of Daniel Morgan, who was a private detective in South London in the late 1980s.
The plot sees married couple Paul (Paul Reiser) and Jamie Buchman (Helen Hunt) have a 20-minute conversation in front of their bedroom door, as they allow their infant daughter Mabel to cry herself to sleep for the first time.
The episode was originally broadcast uninterrupted by commercials, which only aired after the opening theme and just before the end credits.
He also wanted an episode that would showcase Reiser and Hunt, who had always wanted to try the bottle episode format.
It received a mixed reaction following its broadcast, with critics praising Reiser and Hunt's performances, and the honest and funny script.
Jamie and Paul Buchman put their infant daughter Mabel to bed, and wait outside the bedroom door to see if she will go to sleep on her own.
Paul is unhappy with the method, as he wants to go in and hold Mabel, but Jamie insists that it will be good for her in the end, and stops him from going into the room early.
As they wait outside the door, Paul and Jamie talk about various topics, including Jamie winning 500 pounds of rigatoni, Paul's concern that he is shrinking and his sudden realization that they have a cabinet by the room.
Paul picks up a magazine featuring a sales listing for a house, and he admits that he wants to move to the suburbs.
Paul and Jamie argue over city and suburban living, causing Jamie to remark that they are completely incompatible as parents, as they disagree on almost everything.
Levin spoke with the writing staff and the actors about his idea of Paul and Jamie being unable to leave the doorway to their bedroom, as they listen to their daughter's cries.
Reiser said that the bottle episode format was something the show had always wanted to try, following a season one episode set in the bathroom.
He told McAlister that the format was the right way for the story to be told and that it was not a stunt.
In preparation for filming, the cast and crew had to know the exact length of the script, so they would not run over the time or run too short.
At one point, Paul and Jamie realize their dog Murray is in the bedroom with Mabel and Paul has to crawl in to get Murray out.
He also revealed that the lack of commercials impacted the writing, and he made sure that, despite being one scene, the episode had a beginning, middle and end.
In the episode's tag, Paul and Jamie are shown watching a film in a similar style to the episode, and Jamie expresses her dislike of the one-take approach.
He found the idea to be ambitious, and thought the subject matter would resonate with parents going through the same thing with their children.
It was one of the first 'Mixed' regiments in which women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service were integrated into the unit's personnel.
It defended London and South-East England against aerial attack until it deployed to Belgium in January 1945 to defend Brussels against V-1 flying bombs.
By 1941, after two years of war Anti-Aircraft Command, tasked with defending the UK against air attack, was suffering a manpower shortage.
In April its commander-in-chief, Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick 'Tim' Pile, proposed to overcome this by utilising the women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS).
The ATS was by law a non-combatant service, but it was decided that Defence Regulations permitted the employment of women in anti-aircraft (AA) roles other than actually firing the guns.
They worked the radar and plotting instruments, range-finders and predictors, ran command posts and communications, and carried out many other duties.
With the increasing automation of heavy AA (HAA) guns, including gun-laying, fuze-setting and ammunition loading under remote control from the predictor, the question of who actually fired the gun became blurred as the war progressed.
The ATS rank and file, if not always their officers, took to the new role with enthusiasm and 'Mixed' batteries and regiments with the ATS supplying two-thirds of their personnel quickly proved a success.
The first of these new units, 435 (Mixed) HAA Battery, took over an operational gun site in Richmond Park, south-west London, in August 1941, and a full regiment of converted batteries soon followed.
The next group of mixed regiments was formed on 22 September 1941, including 132nd (Mixed) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, whose regimental headquarters formed in Highgate, North London.
The new regiment was assigned to 26th (London) Anti-Aircraft Brigade, part of 1st Anti-Aircraft Division operating the London Inner Artillery Zone (IAZ) of defences.
553 (M) HAA Battery, formed on 16 April 1942 at Arborfield by 205th HAA Training Rgt from another cadre supplied by 105th HAA Rgt, was due to have been regimented with 132nd HAA Rgt by 26 June, but there was a shortage of ATS recruits and its formation was delayed.
132nd HAA Regiment supplied another cadre to 24th HAA Training Rgt at Blackdown as the basis of a new 565 (M) HAA Bty formed on 10 June 1942; this also joined 163rd (M) HAA Rgt.
A few sporadic attacks were made on London during 1943, by conventional bombers at night on 17 January, 3 March and 16 April, by daylight Fighter-bombers on 12 March, and by night again on 7 and 20 October.
By now the night fighter defences and the London IAZ were well organised and the attackers suffered heavy losses for relatively small results.
Five raids in the third week of February varying in strength from 100 to 140 aircraft were met by intense AA fire from the Thames Estuary in to the IAZ and fewer than half reached the city; 13 were shot down by AA Command, 15 by Royal Air Force night-fighters, and one 'kill' was shared.
More significant were the V-1 flying bombs, codenamed 'Divers', which began to be launched against London from Northern France soon after the Allies launched their invasion of Normandy (Operation Overlord) on D-Day.
Defences had been planned against this new form of attack (Operation Diver), but the missiles' small size, high speed and awkward height presented a severe problem for AA guns.
After two weeks' experience AA Command carried out a major reorganisation, stripping guns from the London IAZ and other parts of the UK and repositioning them along the South Coast to target V-1s coming in over the English Channel, where the gun-laying radar worked best and where a 'downed' V-1 would cause no damage.
The whole process involved moving hundreds of guns and vehicles and thousands of servicemen and women, but a new 8-gun HAA battery site could be established in 48 hours.
After moving the mobile 3.7-inch HAA guns to the coast, these were progressively replaced by the static Mark IIC model, which had power traverse, accompanied by the most sophisticated Radar No 3 Mark V (the SCR-584 radar set) and No 10 Predictor (the all-electric Bell Labs AAA Computer).
In early August 132nd (M) HAA Rgt came under the command of 102 AA Brigade, which had been scheduled to take part in 'Overlord' but had been diverted to reinforce the 'Diver' defences in South East England.
The guns were constantly in action and the success rate of the HAA batteries against 'Divers' rose progressively until late summer, when the launching sites in Normandy were overrun by 21st Army Group.
132nd (M) HAA Regiment initially remained on the South Coast, switching to 43 AA Brigade in October, and then when that was disbanded reverting to 26 (London) AA Bde.
Once 21st Army Group had captured Brussels and Antwerp, these cities became targets for V-1s launched from within Germany, and anti-Diver or 'X' defences had to be established.
AA Command's experience had shown that the power-operated, remotely controlled Mk IIC 3.7-inch gun, with automatic fuze-setting, SCR 584 radar and Predictor No 10 were required to deal effectively with V-1s, but 21st Army Group's mobile HAA units did not have experience with this equipment.
132nd HAA Regiment was the second Mixed unit sent from AA Command to reinforce the Brussels 'X' defences in January 1945.
The Brussels 'X' defences under 101 AA Brigade involved an outer line of Wireless Observer Units sited to in front of the guns to give 8 minutes' warning, then Local Warning (LW) stations positioned half way, equipped with radar to begin plotting individual missiles.
Finally there was an inner belt of Observation Posts (OPs), about in front of the guns to give visual confirmation that the tracked target was a missile.
Unlike the anti-Diver guns firing over the English Channel or North Sea, VT fuzes could not be employed by the HAA batteries at Brussels because of the risk of casualties to troops and civilians under the missiles' flightpath.
The success rate of the Brussels X defences had been low at first, but after the arrival of Mk IIC guns and experienced crews from AA Command the results improved considerably, with best results in February and March 1945.
The number of missiles launched at Brussels dropped rapidly as 21st Army Group continued its advance, and in the last week the AA defences destroyed 97.5 per cent of those reaching the defence belt.
The war in Europe ended on VE Day (8 May 1945) and 132nd (Mixed) HAA Regiment and its three batteries were disbanded on 31 May.
While the male members of the regiment wore the Royal Artillery's 'gun' cap badge, the women wore the ATS cap badge, but in addition they wore the RA's 'grenade' collar badge as a special badge above the left breast pocket of the tunic.
Ikeduba although being a native of Delta State was born in Ebute-Meta in Lagos State a south-western geographical area of Nigeria predominantly occupied by the Yoruba speaking people of Nigeria and is from a family of six—four children, two male, two female, a mother, and a father—of which he is the first born child.
Ikeduba received both primary and secondary school education in Lagos state but in bid to obtain a university degree he relocated to the Benin city, a south-south geographical area of Nigeria where he applied to the University of Benin to study Economics.
In an interview with Vanguard, a Nigerian print media press, Ikeduba stated that he debuted into the Nigerian movie industry in the year 2000.
He described his venture into the Nigerian movie industry as a coincidence as he initially only wanted to accompany a friend to an audition for actors but on reaching their destination he decided to audition also and was successful in it as he was called back and given a movie role.
Ikeduba’s ability to understand and communicate in all three major languages in Nigeria has been pivotal to his career, he acknowledges this fact and speaks publicly about it.
Ikeduba is multilingual as he can speak the Yoruba language, the Hausa Language the Igbo language as well as the English language, which is the official language of commuication in Nigeria.
His first appearance was against Rhodesia in the 1968 Davis Cup Europe Zone, first-round tie that was scheduled for Båstad, Sweden.
A demonstrators protest, that became known as the Båstad riots, against the political situation in Rhodesia, caused the tie to be moved to Bandol, France.
Nerell played both in the singles and doubles, losing his first singles match and winning the doubles with Ove Bengtson, as well as the his second singles, coming back for a two set to zero deficit.
He lost in the second round of the singles and doubles and, with partner Margareta Strandberg, in the first round of the mixed doubles.
He and Strandberg also qualified for the mixed doubles at the 1969 Wimbledon Championships, once again losing in the first round.
It was one of the first 'Mixed' regiments in which women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service were integrated into the unit's personnel.
It defended the United Kingdom against aerial attack until it deployed to Belgium in January 1945 to defend Brussels against V-1 flying bombs.
By 1941, after two years of war Anti-Aircraft Command, tasked with defending the UK against air attack, was suffering a manpower shortage.
In April its commander-in-chief, Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick 'Tim' Pile, proposed to overcome this by utilising the women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS).
The ATS was by law a non-combatant service, but it was decided that Defence Regulations permitted the employment of women in anti-aircraft (AA) roles other than actually firing the guns.
They worked the radar and plotting instruments, range-finders and predictors, ran command posts and communications, and carried out many other duties.
With the increasing automation of heavy AA (HAA) guns, including gun-laying, fuze-setting and ammunition loading under remote control from the predictor, the question of who actually fired the gun became blurred as the war progressed.
The ATS rank and file, if not always their officers, took to the new role with enthusiasm and 'Mixed' batteries and regiments with the ATS supplying two-thirds of their personnel quickly proved a success.
The first of these new batteries took over an operational gun site in Richmond Park, south-west London, in August 1941, and complete regiments soon followed, including 137th (Mixed) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, whose regimental headquarters formed at Newton, Chester, on 10 November 1941.
At the end of the year the new regiment was assigned to 33rd (Western) Anti-Aircraft Brigade in Liverpool, part of 4th Anti-Aircraft Division.
On 5 January 1942, 477 (M) HAA Bty transferred to 142nd HAA Rgt in exchange for 487 (M) HAA Bty, which joined 137th HAA Rgt on 1 February (487 was another Oswestry-trained battery, with its cadre drawn from 107th HAA Rgt).
137th (M) HAA Regiment sent a cadre to 211th HAA Training Rgt at Oswestry where it formed 574 (M) HAA Bty on 30 June 1942.
Then in September the regiment moved from North West England to the London Inner Artillery Zone (IAZ), where it came under the command of 26 (London) AA Bde in 1st AA Division and was joined by 574 (M) HAA Bty.
On 9 November 590 (M) HAA Bty also joined, having been formed at Oswestry from a 1st AA Division cadre and briefly served with 183rd (M) HAA Rgt.
A few sporadic attacks were made on London during 1943, by conventional bombers at night on 17 January, 3 March and 16 April, by daylight Fighter-bombers on 12 March, and by night again on 7 and 20 October.
By now the night fighter defences and the London IAZ were well organised and the attackers suffered heavy losses for relatively small results.
Five raids in the third week of February varying in strength from 100 to 140 aircraft were met by intense AA fire from the Thames Estuary in to the IAZ and fewer than half reached the city; 13 were shot down by AA Command, 15 by Royal Air Force night-fighters, and one 'kill' was shared.
More significant were the V-1 flying bombs, codenamed 'Divers', which began to be launched against London from Northern France soon after the Allies launched their invasion of Normandy (Operation Overlord) on D-Day.
Defences had been planned against this new form of attack (Operation Diver), but the missiles' small size, high speed and awkward height presented a severe problem for AA guns.
After two weeks' experience AA Command carried out a major reorganisation, stripping many guns from the London IAZ and other parts of the UK and repositioning them along the South Coast to target V-1s coming in over the English Channel, where the gun-laying radar worked best and where a 'downed' V-1 would cause no damage.
137th (M) HAA Regiment remained in the London IAZ, though here the guns stayed largely silent, to the dismay of Londoners.
A second campaign of air-launched missiles coming in from the North Sea led to a second redeployment by AA Command to East Anglia, but again 137th (M) HAA Rgt was unaffected by the moves.
574 and 590 (M) HAA Batteries were disbanded on 16 October 1944, but the regiment was briefly joined from 7 to 30 November by 455 HAA Bty from 129th (M) HAA Rgt before it became an independent battery.
Once 21st Army Group had captured Brussels and Antwerp, these cities became targets for V-1s launched from within Germany, and anti-Diver or 'X' defences had to be established.
AA Command's experience had shown that the power-operated, remotely controlled static Mk IIC 3.7-inch HAA gun, which had power traverse and automatic fuze-setting, accompanied by the most sophisticated Radar No 3 Mark V (the SCR-584 radar set) and No 10 Predictor (the all-electric Bell Labs AAA Computer), were required to deal effectively with V-1s, but 21st Army Group's mobile HAA units did not have experience with this equipment.
137th (M) HAA Regiment was the first Mixed unit sent from AA Command to reinforce the Brussels 'X' defences in January 1945.
The Brussels 'X' defences under 101 AA Brigade involved an outer line of Wireless Observer Units sited to in front of the guns to give 8 minutes' warning, then Local Warning (LW) stations positioned half way, equipped with radar to begin plotting individual missiles.
Finally there was an inner belt of Observation Posts (OPs), about in front of the guns to give visual confirmation that the tracked target was a missile.
Unlike the anti-Diver guns firing over the English Channel or North Sea, VT Proximity fuzes could not be employed by the HAA batteries at Brussels because of the risk of casualties to troops and civilians under the missiles' flightpath.
The success rate of the Brussels X defences had been low at first, but after the arrival of Mk IIC guns and experienced crews from AA Command the results improved considerably, with best results in February and March 1945.
The number of missiles launched at Brussels dropped rapidly as 21st Army Group continued its advance, and in the last week the AA defences destroyed 97.5 per cent of those reaching the defence belt.
The war in Europe ended on VE Day (8 May 1945) and 137th (Mixed) HAA Regiment and its three batteries was disbanded on 25 October.
While the male members of the regiment wore the Royal Artillery's 'gun' cap badge, the women wore the ATS cap badge, but in addition they wore the RA's 'grenade' collar badge as a special badge above the left breast pocket of the tunic.

Ellen Van Volkenburg (October 8, 1882 – December 15, 1978), born Nellie Van Volkenburg in Battle Creek, Michigan, was a leading actress, director, puppeteer and theater educator in the United States and the UK.
Educated at the University of Michigan, Van Volkenburg has been credited, along with her then-husband Englishman Maurice Browne, with being the founder of the Little Theatre Movement in America through their work with the Chicago Little Theatre.
Van Volkenburg and Browne went on to found the department of drama at the Cornish School in Seattle in 1918, now Cornish College of the Arts.

It was the first 'Mixed' battery in which women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service were integrated into the unit's personnel and was the forerunner of hundreds of later batteries.
It defended the United Kingdom against aerial attack until it deployed to Belgium in January 1945 to defend Brussels against V-1 flying bombs.
By 1941, after two years of war, Anti-Aircraft Command, tasked with defending the UK against air attack, was suffering a manpower shortage.

The ATS rank and file, if not always their officers, took to the new role with enthusiasm and 'Mixed' batteries and regiments with the ATS supplying two-thirds of their personnel quickly proved a success.
435 Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery was ordered to form on 21 May 1941 from a cadre of experienced officers and men supplied by 84th (Middlesex, London Transport) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery.
But this order was rescinded, and a new 435 HAA Bty was formed at Oswestry on 12 June with men transferred from 255, 259 and 260 Light AA Batteries, which had been formed at Carlisle and Saighton on 8 May and then disbanded.
The new battery was converted into a Mixed unit (with two-thirds of its personnel supplied by the ATS) on 25 June, and took over an operational gun site in Richmond Park, south-west London, in August.
435 (Mixed) HAA Battery was regimented with 105th HAA Regiment in 26th (London) Anti-Aircraft Brigade, part of 1st Anti-Aircraft Division operating the London Inner Artillery Zone (IAZ) of defences.
The London Blitz had ended in May 1941 and for nearly two years the city was hardly affected by bombing raids apart from a few sporadic attacks during 1943.
By now the night fighter defences and the London IAZ were well organised and the attackers suffered heavy losses for relatively small results.
More significant were the V-1 flying bombs, codenamed 'Divers', which began to be launched against London from Northern France soon after the Allies launched their invasion of Normandy (Operation Overlord) on D-Day.
V-1s (known to Londoners as 'Doodlebugs') presented AA Command's biggest challenge since the Blitz: the missiles' small size, high speed and awkward height presented a severe problem for AA guns.
After two weeks' experience AA Command carried out a major reorganisation, stripping guns from the London IAZ, including 132nd (M) HAA Rgt, and repositioning them along the South Coast to target V-1s coming in over the English Channel, where the gun-laying radar worked best and where a 'downed' V-1 would cause no damage.
The whole process involved moving hundreds of guns and vehicles and thousands of servicemen and women, but a new 8-gun HAA battery site could be established in 48 hours.
After moving the mobile 3.7-inch HAA guns to the coast, these were progressively replaced by the static Mark IIC model, which had power traverse, accompanied by the most sophisticated Radar No 3 Mark V (the SCR-584 radar set) and No 10 Predictor (the all-electric Bell Labs AAA Computer).
The guns were constantly in action and the success rate of the HAA batteries against 'Divers' rose progressively until late summer, when the launching sites in Normandy were overrun by 21st Army Group.
Once 21st Army Group had captured Brussels and Antwerp, these cities became targets for V-1s launched from within Germany, and anti-Diver or 'X' defences had to be established.
AA Command's experience had shown that the power-operated, remotely controlled Mk IIC 3.7-inch gun, with automatic fuze-setting, SCR 584 radar and Predictor No 10 were required to deal with V-1s, but 21st Army Group's mobile HAA units did not have experience with this equipment.
132nd HAA Regiment was the second Mixed unit sent from AA Command to reinforce the Brussels 'X' defences in January 1945.
The success rate of the Brussels X defences had been low at first, but after the arrival of Mk IIC guns and experienced crews from AA Command the results improved considerably, with best results in February and March 1945.
The number of missiles launched at Brussels dropped rapidly as 21st Army continued its advance, and in the last week the AA defences destroyed 97.5 per cent of those reaching the defence belt.
The war in Europe ended on VE Day (8 May 1945) and 435 (Mixed) HAA Battery along with the rest of the regiment was disbanded on 31 May.
While the male members of the battery wore the Royal Artillery's 'gun' cap badge, the women wore the ATS cap badge, but in addition they wore the RA's 'grenade' shoulder badge as a special badge above the left breast pocket of the tunic.

When the primary mode of transport shifted from ships to trains and trucks, the market moved to the north side of Benton Harbor.
In 1960 the market accommodated 293 buyer stalls on a 16-acre facility which included wholesale and retail markets, a restaurant, and a migrant labor camp.
The principle products sold at that time were strawberries, peaches and tomatoes, representing half of the entire United States sales of these crops.
The market was owned and operated by the City of Benton Harbor, but today it is owned and operated by Benton Harbor Fruit Market Inc.
On July 20, 1970 the market was the destination for a protest march organized by Michigan labor activists in support of the California Grape Boycott organized by Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, and the United Farm Workers.
In 2010 the nearby Southwest Michigan Regional Airport sued the Market for eminent domain to gain five acres of the fruit market's land.
Of these, 78.9% spoke Russian, 10.7% Mordvin, 4.6% Chuvash, 4.5% Tatar, 0.9% Belarusian, 0.2% Latvian and 0.2% Estonian as their native language.
In interviews, Knevel pointed at a specific moment that God entered his life during an economics lecture, and that he decided that he wanted to become a minister instead.
Knevel changed his field of study to theology: first at the Vrije Universiteit, but after a year he switched to Utrecht University, where he graduated in 1979.
Alongside his study, he tought theology and society sciences at the Christian high school Farelcollege in Ridderkerk between 1976 and 1978.
In 1978, Knevel started as free lance desk reporter at the Evangelische Omroep (EO), a Dutch public broadcasting organisation with evangelical-protestant roots.
Alongside his public facing job, he took a leadership position of the broadcasting organisation, and became one of its directors between 1993 and 2006.
In 2005, Knevel declared in a radio talk show that he no longer accepted the classical creationism teaching that the earth was created in six days.
He was at the time still a director at the EO, and considered it no longer scientifically acceptable to rely on the historical accuracy of Genesis 1.
This was especially notable because the EO was for many years one of the main voices that promoted the creationism in the Netherlands.
In 2009, he angered several of the EO members because he signed during a TV show a document that he did not literally believe in the creationist teachings, and that Darwins theory may be true.
He stated that he could be an devout orthodox Protestant, without believing that the world was created six thousand years ago in six times 24 hours, and that he regretted that he misled viewers and children in the past.
Emilie Sofie Hesseldal (born 21 December 1990) is an Danish professional basketball player and a member of the Danish national basketball team.
In 2012, Hesseldal transferred to Horsholm 79ers where she appeared in two games, averaging 25.0 points and 9.0 rebounds, before moving to college in the United States.
After missing a month, she played through the injury for the remaining of the season and despite requiring a Tommy John surgery to repair the damage, she decided to forgo the surgery prior to her senior season as it would've ended her college career.
She returned to the court with Stevnsgade BBK prior to the 2017-2018 season and helped the team reach the Dameligaen finals where the club lost to Horsholm 79ers in five games.
Hesseldal signed with Liga Feminina de Basquetebol club Vitória S.C. for the 2018–2019 season where she went on to average 11.2 points and league leading 12.2 rebounds per game.

Winchell Trail is a pedestrian-only trail in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, that runs along the west side of the Mississippi River between Franklin Avenue South and East 44th Street.
The trail is separate from the adjacent multi-use/bike path, taking hikers past sandy beaches, an oak savanna restoration project, and the floodplain forest.
There is also a signed entrance to the trail at East 36th Street with several paths down to the oak savanna site.
There are a few crescent-shaped parking lots long the trail route, two near East 36th Street and one near East 44th Street.
Many of the various access points have racks for bicycles, which are not permitted on Winchell Trail or other natural surface paths in the gorge.
The northern trailhead features a large boulder with a bronze tribute plague describing the scientific contributions of the trail’s namesake, Newton Horace Winchell.
Hajduk Spring in Minneapolis is a falling water source from the limestone bluff above the Mississippi River near East 26th Street.
Water quality experts do not consider the spring’s water to be drinkable because of the use of herbicides and fertilizers on nearby residential lawns.
At this location, Winchell Trail splits off, taking hikers either down by the river while another path crosses the hilly restoration site with remnant prairie and oak savanna.
The scattered oak trees are spread out enough that there is no closed canopy, giving way to prairie grasses, forbs, and clover lawn.
It was constructed between 1912 and 1914, and later improved by the Works Progress Administration between 1936 and 1938, which included construction of several stone walls and staircases.
The trail is named after Newton Horace Winchell, a Minnesota state geologist who surveyed the area of Minneapolis in the 1870s and published many works about measurement of the glacial age.
Running along the eastern edge of the greater Longfellow community of Minneapolis, the trail is part of the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area and Mississippi River Gorge Regional Park.
In 1998, the Longfellow neighborhood council, park board, and National Park Service formed a partnership to restore the native prairie and oak savanna at East 36th Street.
Since the early 2000s, there have been attempts by the city to clear woodlands along the bluff of invasive plant species such as buckthorn.
The park board may address inconsistent and worn railing/fencing, paved sections covered in soil and plant material, lack of natural surface trail alignment, and safety concerns.
There are a number of undefined, undesignated natural surface paths besides the Winchell Trail in the area, but these were created by park users and are not considered sustainable.
J. Charles Davey (September 19, 1869 – November 4, 1935) was an American Catholic priest and Jesuit who became the President of Saint Joseph's College in Philadelphia.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, he was educated at St. Francis Xavier College in New York City, before entering the Society of Jesus and studying at Woodstock College in Maryland.
He then taught at what later became known as Brooklyn Preparatory School and at Saint Joseph's College, before being appointed president of Saint Joseph's in 1914.
He remained for three years, and then became the dean of Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C. for ten years.
He studied at St. Francis Xavier College (later known as Xavier High School) in New York City, where he received a Bachelor of Arts in 1897 and a Master of Arts in 1906.
In 1908, he was ordained a priest, and he became the first dean and the vice president of Brooklyn College (later known as Brooklyn Preparatory School).
He then spent a year at the Jesuit novitiate of St. Andrew-on-Hudson in Poughkeepsie, New York, before returning to St. Joseph's College as dean and vice president.
When Saint Joseph's College relocated to its present location, he served as subdeacon in the solemn high mass, which was celebrated by Cardinal Dennis Joseph Dougherty, the Archbishop of Philadelphia, that followed the formal opening of the school on November 13, 1927.
IDB Bank (IDB) is an American multinational private bank, commercial bank and financial services company headquartered in New York City with locations in the United States, Latin America and Israel.
What is known today as IDB Bank first began in 1949 as a single representative office in New York City for Tel Aviv-based Discount Bank.
On April 4, 1962, former First Lady of the United States Eleanor Roosevelt officiated the opening of IDB's first-ever branch at 511 Fifth Avenue in Midtown, Manhattan.
In 1968, IDB acquired HIAS Immigrant Bank, a New York State licensed bank located at 425 Lafayette Street in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan.
Established in 1923 as a service of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, HIAS Immigrant Bank's sole purpose was to facilitate remittance or money transfers to and from immigrants’ families abroad, which was then a service not offered by most U.S. banks.
Though IDB's headquarters have long been located at 511 Fifth Avenue in Midtown, Manhattan, it will relocate just one block away to 43 West 42nd Street in 2021.
IDB will move into HBO's former headquarters in the W.R. Grace Building, where office furniture maker Humanscale and Italian spirits group Campari Americas are also headquartered.
Outside of New York, IDB has physical locations in New Jersey, Florida and California, as well as Chile, Uruguay and Israel.
The Church of St. Théodule (; ) is a Roman Catholic church located in Sion in the canton of Valais, Switzerland.

At least since the 13th century, the south side of the Cathedral of Our Lady served as an Antwerp cemetery, for the poorer residents who could not afford to be buried in the church itself.
In 1805 it was solemnly inaugurated as Place Bonaparte (Bonaparte Square) in honor of Napoleon, and retained that name until 1815.
It was the intention of the French revolutionaries to place a memorial in the center of the square in honor of Freedom.
In 1797, during the disputes between the church and the municipal administration about the expropriation of the cemetery, the municipal officer François Roché was murdered in the cathedral.
Between 1819 and 1877 the Court of First Instance resided in the south of the Cathedral grounds, a site currently situated by the Post Office.

As a senior, Wieskamp averaged a state-high 33.5 points and 13.5 rebounds per game, leading his team to its first state tournament in 16 years.
At the end of his high school career, he was considered a consensus four-star recruit and the best prospect in Iowa.
On January 20, 2019, Wieskamp went 8-for-8 from the floor and scored a season-high 24 points in a 95-71 win over Illinois.
Coming into his sophomore season, Wieskamp was named to the preseason All-Big Ten team and the watchlist for the Jerry West Award.
Hence many of Lizhuang's adults have migrated elsewhere for work, leaving a large number of left-behind children in the care of grandparents.
Remittances from migrant workers have enabled some residents to construct homes with modern building materials such as bricks, roofing tile and cement.
The Lecadres lived at Le Havre and had a country house, Le Coteau, in nearby Sainte-Adresse, in whose garden the painting was made during a short visit.
The style of the painting is quite composed and detailed, unlike the typically impressionist works for which Monet was later acclaimed.
Three principal objects, Jeanne-Marguerite, the central flowering rose bush in the bed of bright red flowers and the flowering bush on the right provide an ordered structure and Jeanne-Marguerite's bright white dress contrasts vividly with the reds, pinks and greens of the garden plants and trees.

The thief arrives and the family follows the van to a hangar, finding out Waylon Smithers and Mr. Burns were the culprits.
Mr. Burns tells the story of how as a child he was heartbroken one Christmas, when he asked Santa for just a hug and a smile from his parents and they never delivered, sending him to boarding school instead.
Back at the lighthouse, Cassandra brings Bob a Christmas present, a rake, and tells Bob that she knows who he is.
Burns asks him how he could be so positive about everything and asked if he could teach him how to do it.
When Burns tries to copy his motions, he hurts himself and has to be taken away in an ambulance, with Steve Ballmer going with him.
Of all the recurring, non-cast characters, Bob's the one most likely to brighten up my day/any episode, simply due to Kelsey Grammer's obvious joy in the villainous role.

The first services were held in houses in the locality until the first chapel building was erected in 1859 with seating for 380 people.
The Moskalyev SAM-6 was an experimental design intended to test the suitability of monowheel undercarriages, lighter than conventional gear, on tailless aircraft.
The wooden SAM-6 had a conventional tail on its short fuselage but its low wing had, in addition, Scheibe-type, oval wingtip fins and rudders.
It was powered by a , three cylinder M-23 radial engine mounted in the pointed nose of its deep fuselage and had a single seat, open cockpit.
For its first flight, made in early 1934, the SAM-6 had a long, non-retracting central ski rather than a wheel, and tail ski rather than a skid, both mounted on vertical shock-absorbing struts.
No reports from tests with this landing gear are known but by late 1934 the SAM-6 had been modified into the more conventional SAM-6bis, which had two fixed, trousered mainwheels.
The film deals with the theme of diversity in a social context that does not accept the physical malformations of the human being and that, therefore, trigger serious mental illnesses in the subjects who are affected, negatively affecting the social sphere.
Richard Blanz with social problems finds comfort only from the mother who urges him not to close in the house and above all not to get caught.
In Richard, with age advancing, he hates all those who mock him and acts violently with a girl who is deformed, talking to her friend hinting at the hunchback.

Joan L. Latchman is a seismologist from Trinidad and Tobago who was the first woman to lead the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre.
In 1972, shortly after completing her A-Levels, Latchman joined the University of the West Indies (UWI) Seismic Research Centre as a technician.
She worked with Frank Dale Morgan, a visiting academic from Massachusetts Institute of Technology who was working at the Seismic Research Centre.
Her early work considered the development of simple microprocessors that could convert the acoustic recordings of seismic events into digital signals that can be analysed on a computer.
Latchman called for local governments to include earthquake preparation in their policy work, including considering their infrastructure, medical equipment preparation and enforcement of building codes.
Mother Goose (foaled 1922 in Kentucky) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who was named the American Co-Champion Two-Year-Old Filly of 1924.
From the 128 runnings of the Belmont Futurity Stakes since its inception in 1888, through 2019 Mother Goose is one of only thirteen fillies to have ever won the event.
A Harry Whitney homebred, Mother Goose was a full brother to Whichone, himself an American Champion Two-Year-Old Colt who also won the Belmont Futurity in 1929.
Their sire was Chicle who was bred and foaled in France by their American owner due to the complete shutdown of horseracing in 1911 and 1912 in the State of New York as a result of the Legislature's passage of the Hart-Agnew Law.
Brought to the United States by owner/breeder Harry Whitney, Chicle would become the Leading sire in North America in 1929 and the Leading broodmare sire in North America in 1942.
Chicle was the son of Spearmint, winner of the Epsom Derby in England and the Grand Prix de Paris in France, both races the then most prestigious in their country.
Jockey Danny Maher, U. S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee and twice the British flat racing Champion Jockey was quoted as saying that Spearmint was the best horse he ever rode.
Chicle won the 1915 Champagne Stakes in fast time beating a field of six other runners including Friar Rock who in 1916 would be named American Horse of the Year.
Racing Hall of Fame inductee Broomstick who in turn was sired by Ben Brush, twice a U.S. National Champion runner and Leading Sire as well as a U.S.
Several times during 1924 Mother Goose would go head-to-head with her very good stablemate Maud Muller, a filly who was also bred and owned by Harry Whitney.
Mother Goose got her first career win on April 24, 1924 in a four and a half furlong event for two-year-old maiden fillies at Havre de Grace Racetrack.
Ridden by Linus McAtee she won by two lengths, easily defeating six other runners while breaking the track record by two-fifths of a second.
At Jamaica Race Course, Mother Goose ran third in the May 13 Rosedale Stakes under future Hall of Fame jockey Ivan Parke.
A rarity in racing, the winner Maud Miller, runner-up Swinging, and third place finisher Mother Goose all had the same owner and trainer.
On May 25, Mother Goose earned first place money of $4,925 for winning the five furlong Fashion Stakes at Belmont Park under jockey Jimmy Burke beating stablemate Maud Muller by 1½ lengths in a field of seven.
At Aqueduct Racetrack Mother Goose ran second to stablemate Maud Muller in the July 4 Astoria Stakes run at five furlongs.
For the huge field of twenty-nine juveniles competing in the September 14 Belmont Futurity Stakes it would be the most important event of their year and a race with a winner's share 13 times what Mother Goose had earned for her win in the Fashion Stakes.
Run at a distance of 6 furlongs, jockey Linus McAtee positioned the filly well and as they came into the homestretch Mother Goose was running second to J. Edwin Griffith's good colt Single Foot, a very good colt who had already won several top stakes on Maryland racetracks.
Taking the lead, Mother Goose held off a strong charge from Marshall Field's Pimlico Futurity winner Stimulus to take the $65,730 first place money by a head.
She was also nominated for the May 30 Kentucky Oaks, and for the Preakness Stakes which in 1925 would be run eight days prior to the Kentucky Derby.
While none of her progeny made an impact in racing, her daughter Arbitrator by Peace Chance was the dam of Almahmoud who was bred by Harry Whitney's son, Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney.
The winners of the playoffs advanced to the 1991 Davis Cup World Group, and the losers were relegated to their respective Zonal Regions I.

The British were able to effect the release of their personnel by decoupling the hostage situation from broader political and economic issues through protracted negotiation.
In 2019 Australian Yang Hengjun's detention was also linked to a renewed effort at hostage diplomacy in response to the arrest of Meng Wanzhou.
The case of Andrew Brunson, an American pastor working in Turkey imprisoned in 2016, has been widely referred to as a case of diplomatic hostage taking.
North Korea has made wide use of hostage diplomacy as a tool against the USA, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia and various European nations.
In recent years it has been speculated that the regime of Kim Jong Un had evolved from using hostages to gain leverage to using hostages to gain leverage and as human shields to protect against a feared American intervention.
The case of Otto Warmbier, which ended in Warmbier’s death soon after his release, is a particularly well known example of North Korean hostage diplomacy.

Lucinda L. Combs-Stritmatter (October 10, 1849 – April 23, 1919) was an American physician who was the first female medical missionary to provide medical care in China and is credited with establishing the first women's hospital in what was then Peking (now Beijing).
Combs was a pioneer in women's medical care while serving the Women's Foreign Ministry Society's North China Mission for seven years.
She arrived in Peking in late August or early September, almost three months after her original departure and quickly began her work.
Although medical attention had arrived in Peking about ten years prior, through the London Missionary Society's appointment of William Lockhart, for the most part, medical services were not extended to women.
After writing a letter expressing her desire to open a hospital to serve native Chinese women, the Philadelphia branch of the WFMS congregated at the General Executive Committee meeting in May 1874.
During their meeting, they agreed to set aside a $2000 fund toward the establishment of a hospital for women and children in Peking.
Previously inhabited by multiple households, it is unclear whether the residents evacuated on their own volition or if they were pressured off the land by the WFMS.
The first patient treated in the Peking Woman's Hospital was a Chinese woman who had fallen and sustained a foot injury.
Founding the first women's hospital in China gave Combs a platform to advocate for medical training and education for women and for the improvement of sanitary and hygiene practiced in relevant medical facilities.
Although hesitant at first, the Chinese population in Peking soon came to appreciate the medical help provided by a female physician.
There, Combs took on the work of a physician and missionary, Miss Mason, who was leading the medical work in Kiukiang but had returned to the United States after becoming very ill. Combs treated countless patients in Kiukiang as well in addition to many cases in the outskirts of the city.
As her five-year contract with the WFMS came to a close, Combs and Stritmatter were married in Shanghai on November 19, 1877, by Bishop I. W. Wiley.
Although her marriage resulted in the end of her commission to the WFMS, Combs continued to practice medicine in her new location.
About two years after their relocation, Stritmatter contracted tuberculosis which led the couple to begin the journey back to the United States in October 1880.
After practicing medicine in Denver for six years, Combs moved to Columbus, Ohio to be close to her late husband's family and to spend the remainder of her days.
She died in her son's home on April 23, 1919 in Franklin County, Ohio at the age of 68 years old.
The connection between King and the powerful family of the Viceroy resulted in the funding and construction of a surgery unit and medical dispensary.
During her time at Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania, she published a 22-page handwritten thesis on the study of medical hysteria.
The 1991 British National Track Championships were a series of track cycling competitions held from 26 July - 3 August 1991 at the Leicester Velodrome.
The Flagellation of Christ is a panel painting by 13th-century Italian artist Cimabue, in egg tempera and gold leaf on a poplar panel, dated to c.1280.
It has been held by the Frick Collection in New York since 1950, and is the only painting by Cimabue in the US.
Previously, it had been owned by the antiques dealer M Rolla at the end of the 19th century, inherited by G Rolla, and then sold to the art dealer Eduardo Moratilla.
In the painting, Christ, naked but for a loincloth, is bound to a marble column that rises up the centre of the scene, dividing it into two halves.
Summerhayes had her first experience of medicine as an orderly at the Scottish Women's Hospital at Royaumont in 1917 during World War I.

This was one of the first to provide midwife and later obstetric training in Africa and was very influential in the development of midwife and obstetric services in Ghana and wider West Africa.
At Korle-Bu she trained the country's first midwives, who subsequently went on to develop the profession in Ghana with Isabella Eyo, Adelaide Mallet, Comfort Addo, Grace Koi and Sarah Okine, then trained as nurses.
Summerhayes subsequently married the lead surgeon in Korle-Bu, Alexander MacRae, and due to the colonial regulations at the time as a married woman had to resign her post.

After his father died from typhoid, and his mother from gastroenteritis, Frater and his three siblings were brought up by his paternal grandmother Ann and uncle Andrew who lived in neighbouring houses at West Ochiltree Farm.
Frater gained his Merit Certificate at Bridgend School, Auldhill Road, West Lothian in 1903, and attended Kingscavil Public School in 1904, then studied art at the Linlithgow Academy in 1905 before taking up a three-year apprenticeship in 1905 in the Oscar Paterson glass studio in Glasgow.
Frater won the Glasgow School of Art Haldane Scholarship for drawing in 1906 and studied in the craft and stained glass workshops.
His application to the National Gallery School of Art was rejected by Bernard Hall (1859–1935), and instead he found employment as overseer of stained-glass design at Brooks, Robinson & Co. Ltd on a five-year contract.
In July 1913 he returned to Melbourne and in 1915 married tailor Winifred (Winnie) Dow (1888-1974), who had modelled for him before his return to Scotland, and they took up residence in Alphington.
They had six children; a stillborn female (1915); Arthur, a manufacturer (1916-1998); John, a carpenter/builder (1920-2004); Barbara Dare, an actor and office worker (1924-2000); and twins, musician William (Bill) (1931-2009) and scientist Robin (1931-2014).
Frater resumed his earlier position with Brooks, Robinson, then was employed by E. L. Yencken & Co. Pty Ltd to design the west window of Wesley Church, Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, which he regarded as his most significant design, and other commissions including windows of Kyabram Wesley Evangelical Methodist Church, St Stephen's Angligan Heritage Church, Wynyard, Tasmana and Birregurra Christ Church.
At Yencken he mentored teenage apprentice Alan Sumner for fifteen years, encouraging his painting ambitions, and made a lifelong friend in Arnold Shore, also a stained-glass designer, and they continued to paint and exhibit in their spare time.
Really I think it was through my arguing and discussing with Max that was the beginning of what they called modern art here.
Max was so dogmatic...and his conception of tone was just black and white really, and this idea of tone as colour, later in the early twenties, when I became aware of Cézanne, tone became not just light and shade, but tone values had colour values as well, so that was the great discovery, really, that I personally made...
His first solo exhibition was at the Athenaeum, Melbourne in May 1923, and he exhibited there with the Twenty Melbourne Painters from the late 1920s, and the Contemporary Group of Melbourne in the 1930s.
In a lecture he publicly challenged the anti-modernist stance that National Gallery School director Bernard Hall had expressed in his previous lecture.
...dogged and tenacious, strong in pride of race, reliant and confident in self, a hard man to talk down and a hard man to shake in his beliefs, which change and mature slowly.
A dogmatic man, if you like, but a purposeful one and, like Cézanne whom he acclaims, a rugged type with a scorn of frills and unmasculine prettiness—all of which may be discovered in his work.
In 1936 Frater visited a flat in South Yarra owned by well-to-do Lina Bryans (née Hallenstein in Germany) to advise her on stained-glass windows, and painted her portrait.
The artists' colony included Plante, Hallen, Ian Fairweather, Arnold Shore and other artists, and attracted a group of writers associated with the journal Meanjin.
In accordance with government war directives, the Yencken firm closed down the his department in 1940 and Frater retired from stained-glass designing and, subsisting on his teaching, devoted himself to landscapes.
He exhibited at the Contemporary Art Society, and in solo shows at Georges Gallery, Melbourne, and the Macquarie Galleries, Sydney, in 1946, expanding his subject matter with visits sponsored by the airline TAA to Central Australia in 1950 and Port Douglas in 1952.
He exhibited at Australian Galleries, Melbourne in 1958 and the Victorian Artists' Society in 1963, from which date he became president of the Society until 1972, exhibiting annually with them.
In 1967, in the midst of the Vietnam War Frater joined in solidarity a controversial pacifist exhibition of the Victorian Branch of the Contemporary Art Society at Melbourne's Argus Gallery, traveling to Adelaide under the aegis of the South Australian Campaign for Peace in Vietnam.
His work is represented in galleries and private collections throughout Australia as well as the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow.
Frater was not well known outside Victoria and his support and application of modernist principles in his art met often with uninterest or derision from Australia's mid-century conservative audiences.
To go, say, from Olsen to Frater is to return substantially to an illusion of the visible world, despite the fact that Frater’s ideas are leagues away from naturalism.
This is a huge exhibition, and the best of it is very attractive, especially the large airy landscapes and the nudes.
One of the most striking qualities of the painting is its spaciousness, largely effected by sure handling of light and sun-washed color.
Massively and simply composed, many of the paintings have an apparent breadth much greater than their real size.Frater's work was flown to Papua New Guinea for an exhibition in 1973 that was intended to reveal the influence of the country's indigenous art on modernist painters.
for his services to art, and died at his home at Alphington on 28 November that year and was buried in Arthurs Creek cemetery.
It is thought to have originally consisted of two panels, each with four scenes from the life and passion of Jesus.

Born in Ohio near the Ohio River, Grant grew up around horses, which he came to admire and love, possessing a naturally affinity and learning to ride, train and manage horses at an early age.
At age five he was noted for doing difficult stunts bareback and soon after was also performing responsible chores, hauling timber, and driving teams of horses for long distances by himself.
Horses played an important role throughout Grant's military career, carrying him with dispatches, going about inspecting and encouraging troops and taking him into battle, sometimes having his horse shot from underneath him.
During his lifetime he mostly owned and rode large and powerful horses that often could not be mounted by anyone else.
Noted for his love of and ability to ride and manage horses, Grant at times would receive as gifts the best horses available from friends and admirers.
Watching the horses in the ring, Ulysses asked his parents if he could sit atop one of the ponies and ride it, to which his parents acquiesced.
It was a happy event for the boy as he rode around the ring shrieking with laughter, not wanting to get off.
When Grant was little more than a toddler he was often found out by his father's shop with the teams of horses, restlessly crawling and playing about their legs and swinging from their tails.
The young Grant was always on hand and eager for any work which involved riding a horse or driving a team of horses.
Riding at a fast pace, he would stand on one leg while holding the reins, maintaining his balance as the horse galloped about–a feat that amazed his onlookers.
At age seven, while his father was away for the day, young Grant harnessed a restless three-year old colt, which had never been broken except to the saddle, to a sleigh, and drove the young horse about, hauling loads of brushwood throughout the day.
When Grant was eleven he established a reputation among his peers and neighbors by riding a trick pony belonging to the circus that came to town.
He mounted the restless animal, having no reins and its mane cut short, and wrapped his arms firmly around its neck.
After a frantic effort to buck him off, the pony finally abated where Ulysses, rode the pony around the ring for a couple of minutes, earning himself a rounding applause from the spectators and the five-dollar prize promised to anyone who could stay with the pony.
As a tanner and leather goods merchant, horses to him were simply beasts of burden and a potential source for hides.
He was able to size up any horse he was working with, and possessed a temperament of his own that allowed him to best employ any given horse.
At ten Ulysses would drive a pair of horses, by himself, from his home in Georgetown to Cincinnati, forty miles away, bringing home a load of passengers.
His father did not insist on his working about the barkmill, provided there was other available work and often entrusted Ulysses with a team of horses on his own.
At age twelve, Grant's father sent him into the forest with a team of horses and a wagon to pick up a load of timber.
The men at the lumber camp were supposed to load the wagon, but were nowhere to be found when Ulysses arrived.
Not wanting to go back empty handed, Ulysses devised a method by hitching the logs and pulling them aboard the wagon one at a time by use of the horses.
After securing the load, Ulysses hitched up the team back to the wagon and returned home, much to the amazement of his father.
Upon crossing, he suddenly found the water to be so deep that the horses were almost swimming, while the water was up to the deck level of the wagon.
Grant gained a reputation for excellent horsemanship during his military career, and subsequently would sometimes receive horses as gifts from admirers.
During the American Civil War Grant owned several horses, riding them on scouting missions, while inspecting the troops and formations, and during battle.
Nor does it make any difference to him whether he has daylight for his movements, for he will ride from breakfast until two o'clock in the morning, and that too without eating.
After being accepted, he made his way across Pennsylvania to New York City and traveled up the Hudson River to West Point, arriving there and signing the register on May 29.
Among the horses at the academy was a dark bay horse that was so untamable that it was about to be condemned.
Every day he would devote time to it, bridling, mounting and riding it about with ease, while the entire class would watch and admire in amazement his excellent command of this horse.
In June 1843 the cadets assembled in the riding hall during their final graduating exercises, where all members performed their riding exercises before the Superintendent, Richard Delafield, and a large assembly of spectators.
Grant moved to the far end of the hall, and as he turned his mount towards the bar silence fell over the crowd.
General Rufus Ingalls later recalled that when an unruly or stubborn horse was added to the string of academy horses Grant was always called upon to subdue it.
After graduation, Grant naturally requested service in the cavalry, but despite his excellent horsemanship, there was no opening available and instead was assigned to the 4th Infantry Regiment, his second choice.
During the Mexican-American War Grant expressed his amazement of the great herds of wild mustangs roaming between the Nueces and Rio Grande rivers, moving about like buffalo in a continuous mass.
Grant estimated that to corral a herd of this size, an area the size of the state of Delaware would be required.
Because of his organizational skills and ability with horses and managing teams of horses, he was put in charge of the mule teams used by the Army.
Longing to participate in battle and share in its dangers, Grant found such an assignment beneath his ability and respectfully submitted a protest to this effect to his colonel, which was denied.
For every eight soldiers there was one pack mule where Grant would have to inspect and manage up to fifty mules, along with five mule wagon teams.
To assist in this huge task and responsibility Grant would hire local Mexican mule handlers, who were more familiar with handling Mexican mules, different in their habits from those bred in America, that the Army had purchased while in Mexico.
When a volunteer was needed to carry an important dispatch for reinforcements, Grant came forward and demonstrated his equestrian ability at the Battle of Monterrey by carrying the dispatch past snipers while hanging off the side of his horse at a fast gallop, keeping the animal between him and potential fire.
Before leaving the city he stopped at a house in American hands and assured some wounded Americans, he would send for help.
With his home next to the shop Grant had no need for a horse, and did not own one at the time.
During the war Grant owned and rode more than ten different horses, including Cincinnati, Claybank, Egypt, Fox, Jack, Jeff Davis, Kangaroo, Little Reb, Methuselah and Rodney.
Grant was appointed colonel of the Twenty-first Illinois Volunteer Infantry on June 14, 1861, at which time he purchased a horse while still in Galena.
It was a strong horse, but while Grant was leading his regiment from Springfield, Illinois, to Missouri the mount proved to be unfit for military duty.
While encamped on the Illinois River for a few days a local farmer brought in a cream colored stallion of considerable value.
This was the horse that carried Grant away from Admiral Foote's riverboat the night before the attack on Fort Donelson; the same horse that endured difficult scouting missions in the Tennessee mud before and during the Battle of Shiloh.
After Chattanooga Grant was called away and retired the horse to his business advisor, J.R. Jones in Northern Illinois, for his personal use.
During this time Grant purchased a second horse, called Fox, a powerful and spirited animal with exceptional endurance, which he also rode during the siege and battles around Fort Donelson and also at Shiloh.
Soon after he purchased a pony for his son, Frederick Grant who was with him at the time, along with another horse for field service for himself.
At the Battle of Belmont, Grant's first battle in the Civil War, his horse was killed under him where he was compelled to use his son's pony.
This horse proved to be unfit for battle, so he turned it over to Captain William S. Hillyer, his aide, when he offered Grant his horse.
The Union advance had scattered the Confederates away from Camp Johnston, but the Confederates soon regrouped and began to surround the Union troops.
Cincinnati was a bay, said to have been high and was a son of Lexington, a horse owned by William Tecumseh Sherman, considered to be the fastest thoroughbred in the United States at that time.
In October, 1862, a month before the siege of Vicksburg got underway, Grant sent his horse Jack to Illinois for a month's rest.
He rode it instead of Cincinnati when there was long journeys to be made, because of its surefootedness and ability to stay fresh.
He was later put upon a steamer and taken back up the Mississippi to Vicksburg where it was some time before he was able to move about on his own.
In December 1863 while still in Chattanooga, Grant was given a fine Kentucky thoroughbred as a gift by the citizens of Egypt, Illinois, organized by Orval Pool, who all knew Grant was in need of a new horse when he had retired Jack, his previous horse.
The horse proved invaluable in the months to come, as Grant traveled over the Cumberland Mountains in January, covered with snow and ice, and was used throughout the Overland Campaign in Virginia.
Grant, having farmed with horses and knowing many of the Confederate officers were small farmers, allowed them to return home with their horses, swords, and their honor.
When Grant became president in 1869, three of his horses, Cincinnati, Jeff Davis and Egypt were brought to the White House stables.
According to Albert Hawkins, the stable master at the capitol at that time, Grant, during his second term, arranged for a statue of him mounted on Cincinnati.
For almost a month the General would have the bridle and saddle put on Cincinnati and ride out to meet the sculptor daily.
Hawkins also noted that Grant's other horse, Jeff Davis, was a kicker and had the habit of biting when the stable hands got close to him.
The horse would lay his ears back and move about restlessly until Grant approached him, calming the animal with a few simple pats on the back.
Grant, refusing an offer of $10,000 for Cincinnati, brought the horse with him when he became president and moved to Washington DC.
Nearly all depictions of Grant on horseback in drawings, granite, and bronze, are astride Cincinnati including the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial, in Washington, D.C.
Grant would not race his horses, never attended such events, and thought the practice of horse racing for amusement was cruel to the animal.
Impressed by Grant's praise for the stallions, the Sultan allowed him to pick out any two he desired and take them home.
Grant was conducting an honorary review of the Bersaglieri, the pride of the Italian Army and well known for their horsemanship.
At the time Alfred M. Fuller, an ex-Union Captain in the cavalry during the Civil War happened to be visiting there also.
He was well familiar with Grant's horsemanship, which Fuller enthusiastically brought to the attention of the Bersaglieri officers who were accompanying the Grant party.
Grant approached the young and untamable horse that never had been ridden, with astonishment and admiration, while some of the young officers smiled as if they were intentionally setting up Grant with a horse they assumed would throw him off in short order.
The horse immediately made several attempts to throw him off, and then, unpredictably, gently trotted forward knowing that it had met its master, at which time Grant received a spontaneous applause.
After his prolonged ordeal with throat cancer, while writing his memoirs, Ulysses S. Grant, on July 23, 1885, finally died at the age of 63.
On August 8 his coffin was placed on a catafalque draped in black with plumes at each corner where twenty-four black stallions, arranged in twelve pairs, pulled Grant's hearse along Broadway, with twenty generals led by General Winfield Hancock, astride a black stallion, led the entourage and team of horses.

The Pavilion Theatre was founded in 1903, under the name of the Pavilion & Gardens Kingstown Ltd., with a stage measuring 83 × 24 feet (25 × 7 m).
In the 1980s, Planxty recorded two programmes for RTÉ at the Pavilion, and acts such as De Dannan, The Dubliners and the Dublin Ballet Company also performed at the venue.
The Pavilion was closed in 1984 as a result of the enforcement of new fire regulations introduced with the Fire Acts of 1981 and 1982, and reopened in 2001 as a new 324-seat building.
William White (25 September 1932–2015) was a Scottish professional footballer who played in the Football League for Accrington Stanley, Derby County and Mansfield Town.
He founded the American Reds and then changed their name to the American Fascists when fascism was rising, and also founded the Crusader White Shirts, an organization that allied itself with fascist organizations.
He defended the Nazi Oscar C. Pfaus, and the American Jewish press spoke of him in the same breath as American anti-Semites; but the journalist John Roy Carlson, who spent years under cover in the American right, wrote that Christians was anti-Catholic but not anti-Semitic.
He was arrested in 1942, after the United States entered World War II, and charged with sending seditious material to officers of the U.S. Army.
He was convicted in the first trial of its kind during the war and sentenced to five years in jail with a recommendation by the judge that he not be released until after the war was over.
George Christians was born in Eldred, New York, on 5 August 1888, to a Dutch father and a mother from New York.
His draft documents recorded his occupation as construction manager and that he had served as private in the field artillery of the National Guard in New York.
However, the 1930 census does not record him as having served in World War I, and he later declined to say where he was during the conflict.
Christians was the owner of the American Asphalt Grouting Company, a firm that owned a process that stopped dams from leaking.
He made a fortune from the business but lost about $200,000 in the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and in 1930 was working as an electrical engineer.
Having inspected the records, however, McGrady could find no evidence of any subscriptions or that any meetings of the organization had been held.
He described his politics as neither Communist nor Fascist, and deliberately adopted apparently conflicting names and positions in accordance with his belief that a revolutionary leader should promise support to all interests in private and adopt any cause in public that would draw supporters and publicity without accruing too much opposition.
He claimed to have started strikes to obtain publicity and to be preparing to send armed men to settle them to gain more.
In 1936 he founded the Crusaders for Economic Liberty in Chicago with the American fascist and anti-Semite Lois de Lafayette Washburn.
He posed for photographs with a form of crusader's cross or cross potent on a white shirt and a gun in his belt.
In November 1938, he figured in the proceedings of the House Special Committee on Un-American Activities of the United States Congress which noted the large number of organizations with which he was associated or had founded.
These included the American Reds and the American Fascists, the Liberty Party, the Crusaders for American Liberty, the Crusader White Shirts, and the Fifty Million Club for Economic Liberty.
The idea gained traction in the press and in Washington after William A. Wirt, an opponent of Roosevelt's New Deal who was at Warm Springs at the same time as Christians, alleged that there were communists in the American government who were seeking to undermine the Roosevelt administration and the New Deal, allegations that led to the Bulwinkle investigation in the United States House of Representatives in 1934.
He explained that the plan did not go ahead because by the time the President did visit in November, conditions were less suitable for a revolution.
He is a clever fellow with a fine appreciation of the limits of our broad liberties of speech and action which he strains in promoting his personality and an economic scheme which, if effective, is enough to surrender the rights and properties of the people into the hands of whoever may be strong enough to grasp control of a despairing nation.
Despite his intelligence, McGrady identified in Christians a deep ignorance of the principles of Fascism and of its practice in Germany and Italy, fostered, he thought, by the narrow sources on which Christians was able to draw in Chattanooga in understanding World affairs.
In March 1942, after the United States had joined the war, Christians was arrested under the Smith Act which aimed to counter sedition.
He was only the second person to be charged under the act, after Rudolph Fahl of Denver who was arrested simultaneously.
It was alleged that Christians had sent communications to the officers of Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and Camp Forrest, Tennessee, that might demoralize the army.
Christians was convicted in June in the first trial of its kind during the war and sentenced to five years imprisonment.
Of his economic theories, he said that he had brought them to the attention of the American people and it was up to them what they did with them.

In the episode, Elliot (Rami Malek) and Darlene Alderson (Carly Chaikin) execute a heist hack at a server farm on Christmas Day.
Elliot and Darlene, posing as an employee, break into Virtual Realty, the company that keeps the servers for Cyprus National Bank.
Elliot installs a firmware hack that gives them 40 minutes to get the information they need while temporarily disabling the security cameras.
Darlene is able to walk out, now posing as a gym attendee, and pick up Elliot after he is hit by a car and leaps over a guard rail.
Price follows clues to the location of the Deus Group meeting that night; and replies that it'll happen with or without Tyrell.
Series creator Sam Esmail and the show had become known for its defiance of the television format, such as a one-take episode and another with an opening sitcom sequence.
They knew the plot would center on hacking Virtual Realty and as they worked through the story, realized that Elliot and Darlene would have a coldness between each other, both for the need to be silent and because Darlene would still be mad at Elliot from a prior fight.
Each of the subordinate storylines was foreboding, with the viewer left in suspense while knowing what would become of Dom's red light hack and Vera's minions stalking Krista.
Esmail saw this ability to make a stylistic format choice as one of the perks of working in television over feature film, the originally intended format of the show, as the stylistic choice can last for an individual episodic chapter.
The silent treatment conceit, Esmail added, additionally expressed isolation as a result of technology, a core theme of the show, with the characters texting rather than talking.
Robot did not appear either for dialogue or to present Elliot with a way out, but Elliot's jumping from the cliff to meet Darlene did mirror how he thought Mr.

The Jacques-Cartier North-West River is a watercourse tributary of Jacques-Cartier River, located in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, Canada.
The surface of the Jacques-Cartier Nord-Ouest river (except the rapids) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, but the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from the end of December to the beginning of March.
The Jacques-Cartier Nord-Ouest river draws its source at Brassoit Lake (length: ; altitude: , located in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality.
From the confluence of the Jacques-Cartier North-West river, the current flows for towards the south by the course of the Jacques-Cartier River to the north shore.
This toponym appears on a regional map of 1943, evoking the memory of Jacques Cartier (1491-1557), navigator and explorer born in Saint-Malo in France.
Verrazzano's probable companion in South America, in 1524 and 1528, Cartier ventured to the New World in 1534, commissioned by François I to find gold and a passage to Asia.
He settled on the left bank, at the mouth of the Cap Rouge river, where he built two forts communicating with each other, one at the bottom of the promontory, the other above.
Jacques Cartier left the colony in early June 1542, while Roberval had been on his way to Canada since the middle of April.
Invited by Roberval to follow him to Cap-Rouge, Cartier abandoned him and left Newfoundland during the night of June 18 to 19.

His mother died when he was five years old and his father was subsequently married a second time to Ernestine Wilhelmine Wegner in 1852.
He was in spite of his lack of formal education at the Art Academy responsible for the design of an extensive number of residential buildings, particularly in Vesterbro but also in other emerging district.
Møller's work as an architect brought him into contact with land owners and though them the Østifternes Kreditforening (Islands' Credit Union) with whom he soon started a more formalized collaboration.

Clarissa Rile Hayward is an American political scientist and political philosopher, currently a professor in political science at Washington University in St. Louis with affiliations in American culture studies, urban studies, and philosophy.
Hayward studies the theory of political power, how political phenomena relate to theories of identity, and urban politics in the United States.
Hayward obtained a BA in politics from Princeton University in 1988, both an MA and an MPhil from Yale University in 1994, and a PhD from Yale University in 1998.
In 1999, she became a professor at the Ohio State University, before moving to Washington University in St. Louis in 2007.
Instead, Hayward builds on the post-structuralist work of Michel Foucault to argue that social power should be understood as a set or network of boundaries -- consisting of patterns like laws, norms, and institutions -- which can either constrain or enable action.
The book is partly motivated by a paradox in American racial inequality: how to reconcile the empirical reality of racial inequality with the pervasive norms against racism, and more broadly how to explain the tangible material consequences of identities if we understand identities only as cultural narratives that people associate themselves with.
Hayward uses the case of residential real estate to illustrate how apparently non-political motivations for this ubiquitous behavior, such as a desire for comfort and security, have origins in stories about racial identity that American culture has historically relied on to ensure that racial categories have material consequences, through tools like neighborhood segregation and the development of exclusive suburbs.
These ideas, which have shaped peoples' relationships to physical space, were explicitly rationalized by politicians and developers as those spaces were being developed, and these rationalizations were based on racial identities.
Hayward is a member of the 2020-2024 editorial leadership of the American Political Science Review, which is the most selective political science journal.
Hayward has written several news articles about contemporary American politics in venues like the Washington Post, Jacobin, and The St. Louis American, and has been quoted as an expert in venues like Time.

The Laird B-4, aka Laird 1915 biplane, was the fourth aircraft built by Matty Laird in the United States of America.
It was an excellent aerobatic aircraft and was used very effectively in performances by Laird, as well as by Katherine Stinson during her tour of Japan and China.
During the period when Matty Laird was performing as a barnstorming pilot, he designed this as an aerobatic aircraft for his own use.
The aircraft’s power and structural strength made it excellent for aerobatics, and Laird’s flying skill enabled him to take advantage of the aircraft’s characteristics and to perform several challenging maneuvers.
For instance, he performed the loop-the-loop, which only a few American pilots could perform prior to World War I. Laird’s performances in the aircraft generated significant public awareness of him and the aircraft.
The Apostolic Delegation to the Arabian Peninsula, originally the Apostolic Delegation to the Red Sea Region, represents the interests of the Holy See to officials of the Catholic Church, civil society, and government offices to several nations in the region.
The Holy See and the governments of those countries have not established diplomatic relations and the position of Apostolic Delegate is not a diplomatic one, though the Delegate is a member of the diplomatic service of the Holy See.
Pope Paul VI established the Delegation to the Red Sea Region seated in Khartoum, Sudan, on 3 July 1969, with responsibility for Sudan, Somalia, the French Territory of the Afars and the Issas (present-day Djibouti), and the Arabian peninsula.
With the creation of the Nunciature to Sudan in 1972, the same prelate held both titles until the Secretariat of State made more general changes in 1992.
Pope John Paul II created two separate Apostolic Delegations to Djibouti and to Somalia and renamed the Delegation to the Red Sea Region the Delegation to the Arabian Peninsula, now based in Kuwait City, on 26 March 1992, detailing its responsibilities as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen.
With the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Holy See and Yemen (1998), Bahrain (2000), Qatar (2002), and United Arab Emirates (2007), the Delegation to the Arabian Sea remains responsible for Oman and Saudi Arabia.
Johann Heinrich von Anethan (1618–1693) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Auxiliary Bishop of Cologne (1680–1693), Auxiliary Bishop of Trier (1676–1680), and Auxiliary Bishop of Hildesheim (1665–1676).
The Administrator's House is a heritage-listed former official residence and now museum located 1.5km south-west of Flying Fish Cove in the Australian territory of Christmas Island.
The Administrator's House is a substantial, two storey residence, with a semi-detached service and servants wing, surrounded by a well developed garden.
The residence is sited in a prominent location looking across Flying Fish Cove and can be seen from various vantage points on the higher terraces.
In 1965 the ground floor exterior doorways which had timber arches and lattice work infill were altered, the arches were bricked and the lattice work replaced by glass with etched patterns resembling the earlier lattice work.
Immediately to the north of the Administrator's House stand a number of ammunition bunkers and a gun emplacement which still contains a 6inch naval gun.
The gun emplacement was built before World War Two for the installation of the 6inch naval gun and a detachment of troops was stationed there.
In March 1942 the detachment mutinied on the eve of the Japanese occupation of the island and several officers were killed.
The wider house precinct, including the former ammunition bunkers, gun emplacement and observation post and ranging station just to the north of the house, are also included in the heritage listing.
The gun emplacement complex is intact despite the post war conversion of the ammunition bunkers to provide servants' quarters and other support functions for the Administrator's House.
The Administrator's House is a historic reminder and symbol of colonial rule of Christmas Island, when it was incorporated into the Straits Settlement of Singapore and has been the focus for official duties and functions.
The imposing scale of the residence and its location in a prominent position looking across Flying Fish Cove emphasises the previous social importance of the Administrator and provides an important visual focal point from several other parts of the settlement.
The gun emplacement and ammunition bunkers have historical significance as a reminder of earlier military threats to the Island and through their direct association with the 1942 mutiny and the subsequent Japanese invasion of the Island.
The Crusade of 1267 was a military expedition from the Upper Rhenish regions of the Holy Roman Empire for the defence of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
It was one of several minor crusades of the 1260s that resulted from a period of Papally-sponsored crusade preaching of unprecedented intensity.
Several hundred crusaders and pilgrims did reach the Kingdom of Jerusalem under the leadership of two ministerials, but they probably waited in vain for the arrival of the Eighth Crusade without undertaking major military actions.
Although a late source with a confused chronology, Wurstisen is generally reliable and his chronology can be corrected by other sources.
The preaching of the new crusade was entrusted to the German bishops and to the Dominican and Franciscan friars in January 1266.
In the year of our Lord 1266, Pope Clement sent out letters throughout the kingdom of Germany commanding the Dominicans and Franciscans to preach the cross faithfully and urgently against the Sultan of Babylon, who is the Pharaoh of Egypt, and against the Saracens overseas, so that the suffering of the Christians [there] might be alleviated and for the support of the Holy Land.
Out of the same kingdom-wide preaching campaign and Papal bull, several leading noblemen of the Empire opted to crusade against Prussia instead of in the Holy Land.
These included King Ottokar II of Bohemia, Duke Albert I of Brunswick, Margrave Henry III of Meissen and Margrave Otto III of Brandenburg.
The crusaders that gathered at Basel were placed under the leadership of two knights, Sigfrid Mönch and Hemman (Johannes) Schaler, who were ministerials of the bishopric of Basel.
The Rhenish crusaders were probably only permitted to go to the Holy Land because of the death of King Manfred of Sicily, Charles of Anjou's rival, the previous year.
They left Basel during Lent (2 March–10 April) and travelled overland to Genoa, where they would have arrived in late April or early May.
This was probably not the same embassy that returned to Mongolia with a Papal ambassador, Jayme Alaric, since that group must only have departed after 20 August, too late for the crusading army that arrived in the spring.
A Genoese war fleet of 25 ships under Luchetto Grimaldi is known to have left Genoa in late June and arrived in Acre, the capital of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, on 16 August.
Several crusaders managed to complete their pilgrimage to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Muslim territory, where some of them were knighted.
It is likely that the army avoided any military confrontations with the Baibars' forces in anticipation of the arrival of the armies of the Eighth Crusade.
The army of King Louis IX of France (who took the cross in March 1267) did not go to the Holy Land in any case, instead attacking Tunis in 1270.
Although the novella is completely fictional, the prototype for the title character is the historical Peter von Staufenberg, who is documented in 1274 and 1287.
It is probable that the novella's story of the knighting of Peter at the Holy Sepulchre was based on the real Peter's participation in the Crusade of 1267.
The majority of Route 73 is known as New Harbour Road, except within the town limits of Spaniard's Bay, where it is known as Back Track Road.

Bungalow 702 is a rendered brick masonry and timber building on rendered masonry piles with prominent concrete caps, set approximately 1.5m above ground level, accessed by concrete steps.
Servants quarters are located at the rear of the building, connected by a covered way and roofing is corrugated asbestos cement, with newer sections in corrugated fibre-cement.
There is a strong oral tradition on Christmas Island that this bungalow was used by the Japanese as a radio station during the Island's occupation in World War Two.
The bungalow has become a symbol of this phase of the Island's history and is of considerable social significance to the Christmas Island community.
The building was damaged by a storm in March 1988 during which sections of the roof were blown off and less serious damage sustained in other parts of the building.
The Supreme Ruler of Russia (, ), also referred to as the Supreme Leader of Russia, was the Head of State and Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Russian State, an anti-Bolshevik government established by the White Movement during the Russian Civil War.
For nearly two years from November 1918 until April 1920, the armies of the White Movement were nominally united under the administration of the Russian State, during which the Russian State claimed to be the sole legal government of Russia.
All commanders of the White armies in the south and west of Russia, as well as in Siberia and the Far East recognized the Supreme Ruler; at the turn of May — June 1919, the generals Anton Denikin, Yevgeny Miller, and Nikolai Yudenich voluntarily submitted to Alexander Kolchak and officially recognized his Supreme Command over all armies in Russia.
For nearly two years, Alexander Kolchak served as Russia's internationally recognized Head of State, and was supported both diplomatically and militarily by the former Allies of World War I.
Denikin served as the final acting Supreme Ruler of the Russian State, though he accepted neither the titles or functions of the office, which was finally declared extinct on 4 April 1920.
The Directory ceased to function as a result of the events of the night of November 17-18, 1918, when a group of Cossack troops deployed in Omsk arrested the Director of the Directory, N. D. Avksentiev, a member of the Directory, V. M. Zenzinov, and a deputy member of Directory A.
A. Argunov, as well as a friend of the Minister of the Interior, head of the secret service, E. F. Rogovsky.
On the morning of November 18, the Council of Ministers convened at an emergency meeting with the participation of two members of the Directory - P.V.
The Council of Ministers was charged with conducting preliminary discussions of all laws, and not a single law could enter into force without its approval.
On April 4, 1920, Denikin, under pressure from the generals, was forced to transfer the post of Commander-in-Chief to Lieutenant General Baron P.N.
Soon after the evacuation of the Whites from the Crimea, on April 5, 1921, the Russian Council was created in Constantinople under the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army, chaired by P.N.

The Drumsite Industrial Area comprises the remnants of the former incline railway between Drumsite and the power house in Flying Fish Cove, the Spray Painting Shop at the top of the railway and the Sample Shed, now located near the Laboratory.
The area has played an important role in the history of phosphate mining on Christmas Island; however, most of the site is now a modern industrial site.
The main area of heritage interest is the remains of the incline railway, constructed in 1914 and the 1930s ore chute system, although other elements have value to segments of the current island community.
The railway was the main means of transport between the cove settlement and the upper terrace until construction of the modern road to Poon Saan from 1958.
At Drumsite, loaded rail wagons were attached to a cable while empty wagons at the bottom of the incline were similarly attached.
The empty wagons provided some counterbalance to the full wagons, but the essential power and control was supplied by winding gear which wound the cables over drums at Drumsite.
The incline railway system was fundamental to the success and expansion of the mining operation permitting large volumes of ore to be moved from the mining site to the lower terrace for export.
The industrial area also includes the sample shed and paint shed which both apparently housed part of the incline winding gear.
The roof of the sample shed includes an unusual arrangement of curving steel struts and is of architectural and technical interest.
One half of the incline track is currently used to channel storm water down to the lower terrace, which keeps this half of the track clear.
In 1998, it was being used to house phosphate samples, and at that time was reported to be in fair and structurally sound condition.
The incline railway, 1930s chute and winding gear sheds are historically and scientifically significant as evidence of previous phases of the mining industry on Christmas Island and earlier industrial technology.
The incline railway is of particular significance as it was fundamental to the success and expansion of the phosphate mining operation on Christmas Island and therefore the development of the Island community, as well as being an outstanding technical and engineering achievement.
The foot of the mountain is located 1km west of Millstreet, the mountain overlooks the town with its cross near the summit.
It was the first book to document the history of the vegetarian movement in England and covered vegetarians such as William Lambe, G. Nicholson, John Frank Newton, John Oswald, Richard Phillips, Joseph Ritson and Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Forward speaking at the National Vegetarian Congress in 1899 argued that although the vegetarian movement was increasing, vegetarian restaurants in London had decreased in number.
He noted that affordable tinned meat had become widely available and how some of the purported vegetarian restaurants were not strictly vegetarian as they were serving meat dishes.
Peerless was born in Brighton, England on 18 March 1858 the eldest son of fourteen children born to David John Fitzgerald and his wife Emily (nee Pockney).

Malay Kampong Group is a heritage-listed Malay precinct at Jalan Panyai, Flying Fish Cove in the Australian territory of Christmas Island.
The Malay Kampong Group comprises the Malay Club, Mosque, Malay Quarters and the adjacent Malay School, the sheep pens to the north of the Malay Club, and the original Malay Cemetery located 300m south-west of the Mosque.
Chinese labourers provided most of the manual labour during the early phase of mining on Christmas Island, although later Singapore and Malaya became increasingly important sources of indentured labourers.
The buildings in the Malay Kampong area collectively represent the cultural diversity of this group and their endeavours to keep their religious laws and traditions living in a remote, alien setting.
The sites of special significance to the Malay community include the former Malay quarters (Buildings 404, 405, 406 and 407), the Islamic School behind this group of buildings, the Mosque and Malay Club and the sheep pens and slaughter house and an early and possibly the first, Malay cemetery on the Island whose exact location is uncertain.
The Mosque was reported as generally sound, but showing cracks and rotting timber, the Malay School is good condition and having been painted recently, the former Malay quarters in good condition, and other buildings in poor to average condition.
The Malay Club was reported to be in fair condition, but showing some seaside corrosion affects, rotting timbers and holes in walling.
The places that make up the Malay Kampong area are of special significance to the Malay community of Christmas Island and reflect the ways of life of a cultural minority in Australia.
The Kampong Area represents one of the main cultural groups on Christmas Island and their endeavours to maintain their religious laws and traditions in a remote setting.

It was later that they had the realization that they wanted to transition to a male-presenting body with the help of testosterone hormone therapy.
They were then able to complete their transition by way of various surgeries in their late 30s, after quitting their Google job to start their shoe business.
They majored in art and advertising at Pepperdine University, and it was in those years that they first came out as queer, incidentally during a truth or dare game with friends.
Prior to entering the fashion world, Kacy worked as a producer and project manager at Google, creating online branded engagement programs, such as livestreams, and conceptualizing novel ways for consumers to engage with Google platforms.
Kacy traveled through 12 European cities to learn the contours of the shoe-making industry, accumulating knowledge from traditional workshops in Italy and elsewhere before creating his own methodology in a slight departure from traditional craftsmanship.

James Harvey Insole (30 April 1821 – 20 January 1901) was an English businessman who consolidated and developed the extensive South Wales coal mining and shipping business begun by his father George Insole.
They leased and revived the Cymmer (lower Rhondda Valley) bituminous coal pits in 1844 and developed their coastal and international markets together until his father's death in 1851, at which time Insole took sole control of the company.
His company continued to develop the rich steam coal seams of the Rhondda and by the end of that century was one of the main exporters of South Wales steam coal.
Insole also played a significant role in the development of Cardiff, Wales, as a coal shipping port, especially in connection with improving the means of loading coal ships and the construction of the new dock at Penarth which opened in 1865.
Insole's modern legacy survives in his Victorian mansion Ely Court in Llandaff, Wales, now a community resource known as Insole Court which is used for a wide range of activities and events.
Insole was born on 30 April 1821 in Worcester, Worcestershire, and was baptised at St Helen's Church, Worcester, on 2 May 1821.
During Insole's early childhood his father was a carpenter in Worcester and the family was associated with the Angel Street Independent (Congregational) Meeting House.
When Insole came of age in 1842 he acquired independent resources in the form of a bequest from his father's uncle, a wealthy saddler's ironmonger in Birmingham, Warwickshire.
At that time they were working the steam coal seam at the Maesmawr pit (Llantwit Fardre), however the seam was reaching exhaustion.
They then leased and revived bituminous coal pits at Cymmer (Lower Rhondda Valley) in 1844 and in 1848 opened 36 coking ovens to supply the Taff Vale Railway Company.
Insole had also suggested that the Taff Vale Railway Company negotiate with Lord Bute to erect coal on the Cardiff Bute Dock (West).
Up to 1847 the Insoles mainly supplied the coastal markets of the Bristol Channel (Bristol, Gloucester), the Cornish ports (St. Ives, Penzance, Fowey), and the Irish markets (Limerick, Dublin, Youghal, Waterford, Cork) with steam coal.
In 1849 they sent coal shipments to the Mediterranean, the Near East (Alexandria, Constantinople, Beirut, Smyrna), to South America (Montevideo, Rio Grande, Rio de Janeiro) and as far as Chile and Singapore.
In the early morning of 15 July 1856 an underground explosion of gas resulted in the deaths of 114 men and boys (thirty-four under the age of sixteen and fifteen under the age of twelve).
The local communities were also devastated by the disaster as thirty-five widows and ninety-two children, as well as other dependent relatives, were suddenly left without any immediate means of support.
Insole was dismissed from the enquiry and, after further legal proceedings, he and his mine officials were exonerated from all blame.
To ensure his supply of steam coal, in 1862 Insole purchased the Abergorki Level at the top of the Rhondda Valley.
In 1865 the Penarth Harbour, Dock and Railway Company, of which Insole was one of the original directors, opened the new dock at Penarth in competition with the congested Bute Docks.
Following the death of his father in 1851, Insole moved his family two miles out of Cardiff to the healthier and increasingly fashionable city village of Llandaff.
In 1855 building started on Ely Court, a three-storey twin-gabled villa set in a large garden and approached by an imposing carriage drive.
In the 1870s the house was extended and embellished in the neo-Gothic style that had been employed by William Burges to transform Cardiff Castle for Lord Bute.
Insole already owned several estates in Glamorganshire as well as land in Cardiff when he set out to build a land-owning dynasty.
Insole regularly entered plants he and his gardeners had cultivated in horticultural shows, competing successfully against other local gentlemen and their gardeners.
In 1882 he announced a subscription of £1,000 for the proposed University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire in Cardiff and provided a £25 per annum scholarship for a Cardiff student to pursue further studies.
In 1890 Insole's company announced a £250 contribution over five years towards the funding and maintenance of the new University College engineering department and from 1892 the J. H. Insole scholarship provided £25 per annum for three years to support a University College student of mining.
Although he was associated with the Congregational Church as a boy and in later life financed Nonconformist building projects, as an adult Insole was a noted churchman and his tenants knew him as a generous patron of the parish church at Withiel Florey, of which he held the advowson.
In 1890 he married Marian Louisa Carey (née Eagle), the widowed daughter of his former Dublin agent and sister-in-law of his eldest son who lived nearby in his Pencisely House mansion.
Civic and other roles: Cardiff street commissioner (1848); justice of the peace and magistrate for Cardiff (1856); land tax commissioner for Glamorgan (1856/1857); vice consul to Spain at Cardiff (1858); inaugural president of the Cardiff Chamber of Commerce (1866); magistrate for Glamorgan (1867); member of the Pall Mall Club.
Company directorships: Penarth Harbour, Dock and Railway Company; Ely Valley Railway Company; Patent Fuel Works; Cardiff Hotel Company; Cardiff Baths Company.
Insole died on 20 January 1901, aged 79, at his residence Ely Court, Llandaff, and was buried at the Llandaff Cathedral burial grounds on 24 January 1901.
However, the harsh and dangerous working conditions imposed on miners which underpinned Insole's profits and the devastating effects of the 1856 Cymmer disaster cannot be ignored.
However, after significant restoration, in 2017 the mansion was reopened to visitors for a wide range of community activities and events, and the gardens that Insole so loved are now a municipal park for public use.
The following accounts include Insole's role in the development of the South Wales coal industry, although each is unreliable in various details, especially regarding his father's origins and early years as a merchant in Cardiff.

California State Route 1 in Big Sur is widely considered to be one of the most scenic driving routes in the United States, if not the world.
It has been compared to the Amalfi Coast of Italy, the rugged scenic north coast of Taiwan, and roadways in the Andes.
The Big Sur portion of Highway 1 is generally considered to include the segment adjoining the unincorporated region of Big Sur between Malpaso Creek near Carmel Highlands in the north and San Carpóforo Creek near San Simeon in the south.
Prior to its completion, the California coast south of Carmel and north of San Simeon was one of the most remote regions in the state, rivaling at the time nearly any other region in the United States for its difficult access.
At the turn of the 19th century, the trip from Monterey to the Pfeiffer Ranch in the Big Sur valley could take three days by wagon.
Construction began in 1921, ceased for two years in 1926 when funding ran out, and after 18 years of construction, the Carmel–San Simeon Highway was completed in 1937.
Along with the ocean views, this winding, narrow road, often cut into the face of towering seaside cliffs, dominates the visitor's experience of Big Sur.
The stunning views, redwood forests, hiking, beaches, and other recreational opportunities have made Big Sur a popular destination for about 7 million people who live within a day's drive and visitors from across the world.
The highway has been closed more than 55 times by landslides, and in May 2017, a slide blocked the highway at Mud Creek, north of Salmon Creek near the San Luis Obispo County line, to just south of Gorda.
Rancho San Jose y Sur Chiquito, including the land from Carmel to near Palo Colorado Canyon, was granted to José Castro in about 1848.
Castro built the first trail from Monterey to Palo Colorado Canyon as early as 1853, when he filed a map of his purchase.
After California gained statehood, a rough trail from Carmel to Mill Creek (present-day Bixby Canyon) was in use by about 1855 when it was declared a public road by the county.
But the California coast south of Carmel and north of San Simeon remained one of the most remote regions in the state, rivaling at the time nearly any other region in the United States for its difficult access.
Yankee businessman Charles Henry Bixby obtained a patent on April 10, 1889 for south of Bixby Creek, Bixby harvested lumber, tanbark, and lime.
Without a road, he resorted to using a landing chute and hoist to transfer the goods to ships anchored slightly offshore.
In 1870, Bixby and his father hired men to improve the track and constructed the first wagon road including 23 bridges from the Carmel Mission to Bixby Creek.
Further south, the Rancho El Sur grant extended from the mouth of Little Sur River inland about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) over the coastal mountains and south along the coast past the mouth of the Big Sur River to Cooper's Point.
There was a brief industrial boom in the late 19th Century, but the early decades of the twentieth century passed with few changes, and Big Sur remained a nearly inaccessible wilderness.
As late as the 1920s, only two homes in the entire region had electricity, locally generated by water wheels and windmills.
Post and they improved and realigned what became known as the Old Coast Road south to Post's ranch near Sycamore Canyon.
By around 1900, residents extended the road another south near Castro Canyon, near the present-day location of Deetjen's Big Sur Inn.
They finally began charging guests in 1910, naming it Pfeiffer's Ranch Resort, and it became one of the earliest places to stay.
Due to the limited access, settlement was primarily concentrated near the Big Sur River and present-day Lucia, and individual settlements along a stretch of coast between the two.
The southern homesteaders were more closely tied to the people in the interior San Antonio Valley including the Jolon and Lockwood areas than to coastal communities to the north.
A horse trail connected Jolon through present-day Fort Hunter Liggett to the Santa Lucia divide, from which several trails split to the coast or to the several mining camps.
In 1897, he walked the entire stretch of rocky coast from Monterey to San Luis Obispo in five days and mapped out a course of the future road.
He became convinced of the need for a road along the coast to San Simeon, which he believed could be built for $50,000 ().
State Senator Elmer S. Rigdon from Cambria, at the southern end of the Big Sur region, embraced the necessity of building the road.
He was a member of the California Senate Committee on Roads and Highways and promoted the military necessity of defending California's coast which persuaded the legislature to approve the project.
In 1919, the legislature approved building Route 56, or the Carmel – San Simeon Highway, to connect Big Sur to the rest of California.
The California state legislature passed a law in 1915 that allowed the state to use convict labor under the control of the State Board of Prison Directors and prison guards.
In 1918, state highway engineer Lester Gibson led a mule pack train along the Big Sur coast to complete an initial survey to locate the future Coast Highway.
When the convict labor law was revised in 1921, it gave control of the convicts and camps to the Division of Highways, although control and discipline remained with the State Board of Prison Directors and guards.
The contractor Blake and Heaney built a prison labor camp for 120 prisoners and 20 paid laborers at Piedras Blancas Light Station.
Contractor George Pollock Company of Sacramento started construction next on one of the most remote segments, a stretch between Anderson Canyon and Big Sur in September, 1922.
The region was so remote and access so poor that the company brought most of its supplies and equipment in by barge at a sheltered cove near the middle of the project.
Overcoming all the difficulties, the crews completed two portions of the highway in October, 1924, the southern section from San Simeon to Salmon Creek and a second segment from the Big Sur Village south to Anderson Creek.
California Governor Friend William Richardson felt the state could not afford to complete the remaining, including the most difficult section remaining between Salmon Creek and Anderson Canyon.
Convicts were paid $2.10 per day but the cost of clothing, food, medical attention, toilet articles, transportation to the camp, construction tools, and even their guards was deducted from their pay.
In July, 1928, a second camp was built near the mouth of the Little Sur River on the El Sur Ranch about south of Carmel.
When this task was finished, the workers almost completely reconstructed and realigned he portion of the road from Anderson Creek to Big Sur that had been completed in 1924.
The laborers used tons of dynamite and blasted large amounts of earth and rock debris over the edge of the road and often into the ocean.
Walt Trotter, a long-time resident of the coast who had many years of experience in construction, observed in 1978 that the road could have been better built.
Road construction necessitated construction of 29 bridges, the most difficult of which was the bridge over Bixby Creek, about south of Carmel.
Upon completion, the Bixby Creek Bridge was long, wide, above the creek bed below, and had a main span of .
When it was completed on October 15, 1932, Bixby Creek Bridge was the largest arched highway structure in the Western states.
The contractor built a large bridge of Redwood with a span of at Dolan Creek because of the considerable distance required to haul concrete.
The timber and steel bridges, with the exception of Castro Canyon and Mill Creek, were all replaced with concrete bridges later on.
To provide water to thirsty travelers, the Civilian Conservation Corps built between 1933 and 1937 six hand-crafted stone drinking fountains at Soda Springs, Big Redwood, Willow Creek/Seven Stairs, Lucia, and Rigdon.
After 18 years of construction, aided by New Deal funds during the Great Depression, the paved two-lane road was completed and opened on June 17, 1937.
On June 27, 1937, Governor Frank Merriam led a caravan from the Cambria Pines Lodge to San Simeon, where dedication ceremonies began.
The wife of the late Senator Elmer Rigdon, who had promoted the bridge and obtained funding, dedicated a silver fir to her husband's memory.
A water fountain in a turnout between Vicente Creek Bridge and Big Creek Bridge, four miles north of Lucia, was dedicated as the Elmer Rigdon Memorial Drinking Fountain.
The road was initially called the Carmel-San Simeon Highway, but was better known as the Roosevelt Highway, honoring then-current President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Slides were so common that gates were used to close the road to visitors at the northern and southern ends during the winter.
Before the highway was completed, a developer who wanted to build a subdivision offered to buy the Pfeiffer Ranch from John and Florence Pfeiffer for $210,000 ($ in ).
The region's economy and population growth was driven by a change to a tourist-oriented economy and the construction of permanent and summer homes.
The primary transportation objective of the Big Sur Coastal Land Use plan is to maintain Highway 1 as a scenic two-lane road and to reserve most remaining capacity for the priority uses of the act.
The steep topography, active faults, diverse geology, and seasonal storms combine to make the rugged Big Sur area one of the most landslide-prone stretches of the California coast.
Aside from Highway 1, the only access to Big Sur is via the winding, narrow, long Nacimiento-Fergusson Road, which from Highway 1 south of Lucia passes east through Fort Hunter Liggett to Mission Road in Jolon.
Torrential rains caused flood conditions throughout Monterey County and Highway 1 in Big Sur was closed in numerous locations due to slides.
A series of storms in the winter of 1983 caused four major road-closing slides between January and April, including a large high landslide slide near Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park and McWay Falls that buried Highway 1 with of rocks and dirt.
The repair crews pushed the slide into the ocean which ended up creating a beach inside McWay Cove that didn't exist before.
CalTrans routinely pushed slide debris into the ocean shore until the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary was created in 1992, which made dumping material into the ocean illegal.
In 1998, about 40 different locations on the road were damaged by El Niño storms, including a major slide south of Gorda that closed the road for almost three months.
In March 2011, a section of Highway 1 just south of the Rocky Creek Bridge collapsed, closing the road for several months until a single lane bypass could be built.
On January 16, 2016, the road was closed for portions of a day due to a mudslide near Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park.
In January 2014, CalTrans completed construction of a new bridge and rock shelter at Pitkins Curve in Big Sur, one of the ongoing trouble spots on Highway 1 near Limekiln State Park.
In 1983, Skinner Pierce died while clearing the slide near Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park when the bulldozer he was operating fell down the slide into the ocean.
During the following winter, Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park received more than of rain, while other locations received up to , the most rain recorded since 1915.
The closure of Highway 1 in two locations isolated 60 families and 350 residents for weeks, forced Esalen Institute to evacuate guests by helicopter, and residents to ferry supplies in the same way.
Just south of Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, shifting earth damaged a pier supporting a bridge over the deep Pfeiffer Canyon.
CalTrans immediately closed the highway and announced the next day that the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge was damaged beyond repair and would have to be replaced.
CalTrans immediately began planning to replace the bridge and contracted with XKT Engineering on Mare Island to construct a replacement single-span steel girder bridge.
To the south, a slide totalling about million closed Highway 1 in February at a perennial problem point known as Paul's Slide, north of the Nacimiento-Ferguson Road.
On May 20, the largest slide in the highway's history at Mud Creek blocked the road southeast of Gorda or about south of Monterey.
The slide began up the side of the mountain and dumped an estimated , or about 1.5 million tons of dirt, on to the road and more than into the ocean.
Larger than the slide that blocked the highway in 1983 at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State park, it covered one-quarter-mile (.40 km) of the highway and buried it up to deep in some places.
To stabilize the toe of the slide and prevent the surf from further eroding the slide, CalTrans contractors brought in about of rock to build the revetment.
Crews worked seven days a week, at least 12 hours per day, from January 2017 until mid-July 2018 to get the road repaired.
Most of the nearly 7 million tourists who currently visit Big Sur each year never leave Highway 1, because the adjacent Santa Lucia Range is one of the largest roadless coastal areas in the entire United States; Highway 1 and the Nacimiento-Fergusson Road offer the only paved access into and out of the region.
The beauty of the scenery along the narrow, two-lane road attracts enormous crowds during summer vacation periods and holiday weekends, and traffic is frequently slow.
Visitors have reported to the California Highway Patrol hours-long stop-and-go traffic from Rocky Creek Bridge to Rio Road in Carmel during the Memorial Day weekend.
The highway winds along the western flank of the mountains mostly within sight of the Pacific Ocean, varying from near sea level up to a sheer drop to the water.
Since the introduction of smart phones and social media, the popularity of certain Big Sur attractions like Bixby Creek Bridge, Pfeiffer Beach, McWay Falls, and the Pine Ridge Trail have dramatically increased.
Some locations have limited parking, and visitors park on the shoulder of Highway 1, sometimes leaving inadequate space for passing vehicles.
At Bixby Creek Bridge, visitors sometimes park on the nearby Old Coast Road, blocking the road and residents' access to their homes.
There are a large number of unpaved pull outs along the highway, but there are only three paved road-side vista points allowing motorists to stop and admire the landscape.
In 2016, the average daily vehicle counts at the Big Sur River Bridge (milepost 46.595) were 6,500, a 13% increase from 5,700 in 2011.
The rationing program and a ban on pleasure driving extremely limited the number of visitors who made the trip to Big Sur.
Visitors continued to increase during the 1960s, due in part to the opening of several major attractions in the area, especially the Esalen Institute.
About 600 vehicles a day use the road, but there are only 65 parking spaces at the beach itself, so some tourists park on the highway and walk the road to the beach, which is illegal because the road is so narrow.
Parks Management Company, which manages the day-use parking lot at Pfeiffer Beach, turned away more than 1,000 cars from the entrance to Sycamore Canyon Road.
Visitors were redirected to the parking lot the Big Sur Station, a nearby multi-agency facility, where for $15 they could park and take a newly introduced shuttle service to the beach.
Due to the large number of visitors, congestion and slow traffic between Carmel and the Bixby Creek Bridge is frequently the norm during popular holiday and vacation periods.
There is a pull out to the north and west side of Highway 1, but when it is full, visitors sometimes fail to completely pull off the highway, leaving inadequate space for passing vehicles.
The section of Highway 1 running through Big Sur is widely considered one of the most scenic driving routes in the United States, if not the world.
The views are one reason that Big Sur was ranked second among all United States destinations in TripAdvisor's 2008 Travelers' Choice Destination Awards.
The unblemished natural scenery owes much of its preservation to the highly restrictive development plans enforced in Big Sur; no billboards or advertisements are permitted along the highway and signage for businesses must be modestly scaled and of a rural nature conforming to the Big Sur region.
The state of California designated the section of the highway from Cambria to Carmel Highlands as the first California Scenic Highway in 1965.
The 2019–20 UC Riverside Highlanders men's basketball team represent the University of California, Riverside in the 2019–20 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.
The Highlanders, led by 2nd-year head coach David Patrick, play their home games at SRC Arena in Riverside, California as members of the Big West Conference.
The term was first used to describe a school of whales, and whalemen may have taken its meaning from that source.
Omar Lorméndez Pitalúa (born 18 January 1972) is a Mexican suspected drug lord and high-ranking member of Los Zetas, a criminal group based in Tamaulipas, Mexico.
He then joined the Gulf Cartel under kingpin Osiel Cárdenas Guillén, becoming one of the first members of its newly-formed paramilitary wing, Los Zetas.
In 2001, Lorméndez Pitalúa worked on assignments for Los Zetas, and was responsible for ensuring that smugglers paid taxes to the Gulf Cartel and operated under their supervision in Matamoros.
In 2003, he was sent to Michoacán and formed an alliance with La Familia Michoacana to gain control of the turfs controlled by the Milenio Cartel.
According to a protected witness, he served as a member of the elite Grupo Aeromóvil de Fuerzas Especiales (GAFE), the special forces unit of the Army.
Lorméndez Pitalúa is often cited as one of the founding members of Los Zetas who was reportedly part of the Grupo de los 14 (English: Group of 14), a named used to describe the first fourteen Zetas members.
When Lorméndez Pitalúa joined Los Zetas, the group's purpose was to provide security services to Cárdenas Guillén and carry out executions on the cartel's behalf.
Over the years, Los Zetas underwent organizational changes and became increasingly involved in other criminal activities alongside the Gulf Cartel, including drug trafficking.
Lorméndez Pitalúa and other members of Los Zetas were placed in-charge of collecting fees for the Gulf Cartel from people who worked in contraband merchandise, human smuggling, and drug trafficking in Matamoros.
The two first met on 16 August 2001, when Lorméndez Pitalúa and other Zetas members abducted Lagunas Jaramillo and her daughter Ana Bertha González Lagunas for running a contraband business in Matamoros without the cartel's authorization.
Lagunas Jaramillo cried for help saying she was being robbed, but Zetas gunmen told her it was because she had failed to pay the cartel's taxation.
In the meeting, she was forced to hand over the drugs in her possession, give the cartel the money she had in her bank accounts to pay for the outstanding fees, and work for them.
Cárdenas Guillén told her he would pay her US$100 for each transaction, and that she was exempted from any taxation for her drug operations.
After leaving the meeting, Lagunas Jaramillo gave Los Zetas the exact location of a vehicle and driver who were holding of her cocaine.
Her restaurant became a popular eatery for Zetas members, and she became involved in drug trafficking activities with drugs provided by Los Zetas.
Both Lagunas Jaramillo and her daughter received uniforms and other accessories from the cartel when they were to participate in an operation.
While working in Los Zetas, Lorméndez Pitalúa and Lagunas Jaramillo became romantically involved; Lorméndez Pitalúa asked Cárdenas Guillén for 15 days off to organize his wedding.
On 21 November 2002, Guzmán Decena was killed in a shootout with the Mexican Army in Matamoros, close to Lagunas Jaramillo's restaurant.
Cárdenas Guillén ordered that González Laguna be paid part of Guzmán Decena's salary every fifteen days (the salary was divided between the three of Guzmán Decena's lovers, including González Laguna).
According to eye-witnesses, Lorméndez Pitalúa and his associates stormed the police installations wearing black uniforms and sporting AK-47s and AR-15s, and used a tear-gas grenade launcher to rescue their comrade.
In retaliation for the losses suffered by security forces and the increased police activity in their turf, Los Zetas reportedly responded less than three weeks later by murdering state police chief Jaime Yañez Cantú and his driver Gerardo Gascón Soltero in a drive-by shooting on 9 July 2001 in Matamoros.
During that time, Lorméndez Pitalúa was based out of Nuevo Laredo and reportedly operated on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.
He was in charge of taking control of the turf from other gangs that operated in the area: Los Cachos, Los Texas and Flores Soto.
Lorméndez Pitalúa's campaign against the Sinaloa Cartel also extended to other parts of Tamaulipas, Guerrero, Michoacán, Nuevo León and Mexico City.
The rival Beltrán Leyva Cartel also operated in the area and Los Zetas was in-charge of eliminating their influence in Zihuatanejo and Acapulco.
Lorméndez Pitalúa was appointed as the head of Los Zetas in Michoacán by Lazcano Lazcano during a meeting held in Valle Hermoso, Tamaulipas.
Aside from working against the Milenio Cartel, Lorméndez Pitalúa was also responsible for establishing connections with authorities to help Los Zetas gain information from officials working against them.
In addition to building ties with officials, he was also responsible for renting safehouses to house Zetas members in the area.
According to reports from the Subprocuraduría de Investigación Especializada en Delincuencia Organizada (SIEDO), Mexico's organized crime investigation agency, Lorméndez Pitalúa worked closely with Julio César Godoy Toscano, former Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) deputy in Michoacán.
Godoy reportedly joined La Familia Michoacana in 2004 during a meeting with Lorméndez Pitalúa and Lázaro Cárdenas mayor aspirant Gustavo Torres Camacho.
Federal authorities suspect that Godoy reportedly received US$350,000 to support Torres Camacho's political election and to provide the cartel with information from the police about law enforcement operations against them.
On 18 June 2003, Mexico's Attorney General's Office (PGR) placed an unspecified bounty on 31 members of Los Zetas, including Lorméndez Pitalúa.
This announcement was made after the Specialized Unit Against Organized Crime (UEDO) identified him as a high-ranking member of Los Zetas following the 14 March arrest of Cárdenas Guillén.
Unlike other Zetas members who voluntarily requested their release from the military, Lorméndez Pitalúa had deserted and joined organized crime, which is considered high treason in a military court.
He was wanted by the PGR, the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA) and the Secretariat of Public Security (SSP) for his outstanding charges.
He underwent plastic surgery multiple times to hide his identity and used the aliases Francisco Chaire Huerta and Jorge Lagunas Jaramillo to purchase assets on Lorméndez Pitalúa's behalf.
Los Zetas preferred to launder money by purchasing gas stations because they viewed it as a discreet way of investing their money in the economy.
Some Pemex officials and third-party contractors worked in complicity with Los Zetas; others who opposed their initiatives were extorted, had family members kidnapped, or were killed by the cartel.
In his first year of working for Lorméndez Pitalúa, Sotelo bought a Pemex franchise and paid MXN$200,000 to be granted a license to operate.
In 2007, he purchased another gas station in Morelos, Servicios Gasolineros Anacele, S.A. de C.V., after agreeing to pay MXN$312,000 to be granted a license to operate.
Sotelo was arrested in 2009 with his business partner Jaime Macedo Salgado after a judge issued an arrest warrant for their captures.
The PGR charged Sotelo with laundering at least MXN$491,812,000 in drug proceeds for Lorméndez Pitalúa and raided Sotelo's gas stations, houses and vehicles in Cuernavaca, Mexico City and Acapulco.
The PGR was able to get approval from the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) to expropriate the properties owned by Sotelo because they were believed to be owned by an organized crime group.
When Sotelo was arrested, the government confirmed that Lorméndez Pitalúa was on trial in a federal court in the State of Mexico.
On 24 March 2010, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), a branch of the United States Department of the Treasury, sanctioned 54 high-ranking members of the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas, including Lorméndez Pitalúa, under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act).
This sanction was made after U.S. and Mexican officials met in Mexico City the day before as part of the Mérida Initiative.
It also included the support of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and their special operations team, which assisted the OFAC in identifying the designated suspects.
Several of them controlled drug trafficking operations in Tamaulipas, Nuevo León, and other parts of Mexico, and had previous drug charges in the U.S.
Though Lorméndez Pitalúa was already imprisoned in Mexico at the time of the sanction, he faced charges in the U.S. and was considered a fugitive.
As part of the sanction, the U.S. government prohibited U.S. citizens from engaging in business activities with Lorméndez Pitalúa and froze all of his U.S.-based assets; this was done to reduce his financial support to the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas and prevent him from having access to the international financial sector.
Corporate officers could face up to US$5 million in fines and up to 30 years in prison for violations of these provisions.
On 21 September 2005, Mexican authorities received an anonymous tip on Lorméndez Pitalúa's whereabouts and proceeded to apprehend him in Lázaro Cárdenas.
He was in possession of a fake identification card from the Federal Investigative Agency (AFI), as well as multiple firearms, grenades and communication equipment.
He was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicle and had just kidnapped a man who was suspected of being part of the Beltrán Leyva Cartel.
They stumbled across him by coincidence; Lorméndez Pitalúa had recently relocated to Lázaro Cárdenas and was driving around the city looking to purchase an air condition unit for his new residence.
When the police closed in on him, his outlooks tried to notify other of his henchmen that he needed reinforcements, but he was unable to escape and was apprehended.
Lorméndez Pitalúa was then transported by the Mexican Air Force to Mexico City for his legal proceedings at the PGR offices.
On 16 October, a federal judge confirmed his organized crime involvement charge and ordered his transfer to the Federal Social Readaptation Center No.
There are numerous criminals cells under Lorméndez Pitalúa command, including: Sangre Zeta, Grupo Operativo Zeta, Comando Zetas, El Círculo, El Extranjero, Unidad Zeta, Néctar Lima, Grupo Delta Zeta and Fuerzas Especiales Zeta.
On 26 February 2016, members of Lorméndez Pitalúa's faction dismembered the body of a suspected rival gangster and dumped it near a gas station in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas.
On 20 March 2016, Mexico's PGR, SEDENA and Secretariat of the Navy (SEMAR), with the help of U.S. authorities, identified Lorméndez Pitalúa as a leading player in the Zetas Vieja Escuela faction.

After the Civil War, she was determined to educate formerly enslaved people and their children, and relocated to Athens, Alabama initially to care for wounded Union soldiers as a Baptist missionary.
The school was sponsored by the Western Freedmen’s Aid Commission and the American Missionary Association, located in a Baptist church in 1865.
It was the only high school for black students in the county and the first school in the northern half of the state offering kindergarten for black children.

He was the director of several academic libraries over his career and was respected for developing collections that promoted the history of African Americans; he was also instrumental in creating reference services and building library collections for multiple libraries in Africa.
In 1947 he accepted an invitation to work for the United States Information Agency as a public affairs officer in Monrovia, Liberia.
He brought the TSU library to national prominence with his work in creating a graduate school for African Americans and raising funds for library acquisitions as well as a new library building.
He worked as a consultant for the Alabama State College from 1952 to 1954, directing their book acquisition project and drawing up architectural plans for the library building.
He became the library director at Virginia State College in 1954, devoting most of his energy to the design of the Johnston Memorial Library.
In 1974 the Black Caucus of the American Library Association and the African-American Scholars Council sponsored his work as assistant to the librarian on the Swaziland campus of the University of Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland; he initiated the library's reference service and created a plan for future development.
While librarian at Mary Holmes College he taught courses in black history; he also taught the African American studies course at Hampton Institute throughout the 1970s.
Throughout his career, he was an energetic member and supporter of library organizations; his service to the American Library Association included memberships on the Committee on Intellectual Freedom from 1952-1954, the ALA Council from 1956-1960, and the Committee on Economic Opportunity Programs from 1965-1967.
At the 1936 conference of the American Library Association, held in Richmond, its black members were seated in segregated sections of meeting rooms and were forbidden to attend meal functions or register for conference hotel rooms.
As Secretary of the Citizen's Committee on Democratic Primaries, Van Jackson sued the registrar of Atlanta in July 1944 for refusing to send the names of black Americans to the polls, preventing them from voting.
Some say that the University of Tokyo faction was more of a mass movement than an organized movement in which concrete ideas and policies were set forth.
They led a delegation of seven undergraduates to pressure University authorities to accept their demands during the period of conflict at University of Tokyo.
With the moving of the Ministry of Education after entrance examinations were cancelled, riot police were introduced to suppress a mass Zenkyoto protest.
Other protests happened at Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology (November 1965), Waseda University (December 1965 - January 1966), Meiji University (November 1966), Chuo University (December 1966), and Keio University (1968).
It was with these student movements that Zenkyoto appeared in the 1960s, with each university developing movements independent of each other.
In disputes, particularly concerning tuition fees, university management corruption, and their use of violent guards (sometimes recruited from criminal organizations or far-right circles), students would gather in action committees (Kyôto Kaigi).
In response to student demands, University authorities held a conference at the Ryogoku Auditorium on September 30th to negotiate between students and authorities.
After 12 hours of negotiations, the authorities accepted the demands of the students, leading to the resignation of all University directors involved.
After the situation calmed down, Nihon University resumed classes in a temporary school complex in Shiraitodai, Fuchū, with 10 buildings surrounded by vacant fields and barbed wire.
In January 1968, a dispute over the status of graduate students in the University of Tokyo Faculty of Medicine over the new Medical Doctors' Law which restricted employment opportunities and a judgement on a militant student made by the board led to mass protests in University of Tokyo.
A Zenkyoto sprung up at the conflict in University of Tokyo, and Zenkyoto students occupied and fought in Yasuda Auditorium, which they had occupied in July, against riot police.
Students began to use wooden staves against both the riot police and each other, with students taking their nihilism and anger not only onto university power structures, but themselves.
Zenkyoto began to lose its momentum and the support of the students as university struggles were stuck in stalemates, with seemingly impossible demands, all the while universities were really in danger of being dissolved.
In August 1969, the Act on Temporary Measures concerning University Management was passed, coming into effect in late 1970, which allowed universities to call on riot police independently.
On 5 January 2020, more than 50 masked people armed with rods, sticks and acid attacked the campus of Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi, and injured more than 39 students and teachers.
After attacking residents of the university campus for three hours, the mob escaped; none of its members were arrested or detained.
All 36 students who were injured and admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi (AIIMS) were discharged within 24 hours.
Eyewitnesses, including students injured in the attack, as well as opposition parties and left-wing organizations, accused the members of the BJP's student wing, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) of orchestrating the attacks.
On 6 January, ABVP's joint secretary for Delhi, Anima Sonkar, admitted on television that two armed men seen in videos of the incident were members of ABVP.
Police have said that three of the masked attackers have been identified but no arrests have been made, and complaints have been filed as a single FIR (First Information Report) on unknown people.
On 15 January, police confirmed the identification of the masked woman, seen in the video recording of the attack, as a member of ABVP.
After protests, the university partially rolled back the fees increase by reducing the fee only for students from families with extreme poverty (BPL category) who do not have a scholarship.
The move did not convince the students, as there was no rollback in the fee hike for non-BPL category students or for BPL students with a scholarship.
JNU administration filed two FIRs (First Information Report) on 5 January at 8:39 and 8:43 p.m. against JNUSU chief Aishe Ghosh and 19 others.
The First FIR was for allegedly attacking JNU security guards and vandalising a server room on 4 January 2020 at 1:00 p.m., a day before the attack on campus.
According to a professor, around 50 teachers and 200 students were holding a meeting on the campus to discuss their opposition to the increase in hostel fees when the attack started.
The attack has been associated by some as a way to prevent students from raising their voice against the fee hike and CAA.
On 5 January, at around 7:00 p.m., a masked mob consisting of dozens of people and at least one woman armed with iron rods, sledgehammers, sticks, and bricks attacked the campus of Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi, and injured the students and teachers, as well as vandalising its hostels.
The leaders of student bodies with liberal views and those who spoke against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist policies were attacked.
Two students residing in the hostel jumped from their rooms on the first floor in an attempt to escape the attackers, fracturing their legs in the process.
When an ambulance arrived at 9:00 p.m., carrying two doctors and two volunteers to attend to the victims, the mob surrounded the ambulance with rods and sticks, and prevented the doctors from assisting the injured.
The mob assaulted journalists and social activist Yogendra Yadav, who attempted to enter the campus on receiving news of the incident.
Police said they received 50 SOS calls between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m., however, they were only given written permission to enter the campus at 7:45 p.m.
The 36 students who were injured and admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi (AIIMS) were discharged within 24 hours.
32 people had suffered injuries such as fractures, lacerations, abrasions and soft tissue injuries, while four had suffered minor head injuries.
Left-wing organisations and several students accused the members of the BJP's student wing, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) of orchestrating the attacks.
On 6 December, Swati Maliwal, the chief of Delhi Commission for Women, issued summonses to the police over the assault on female students in the attack.
Sonkar said that the armed men seen with rods on the JNU campus on viral videos displayed during the discussion are ABVP activists, including a former student named Vikas Patel and a first-year student named Shiv Poojan Mondal.
She said that they were asked through WhatsApp to move in groups and carry rods, pepper spray or acid for self defense.
Two first-year students, named Akshat Awasthi and Rohit Shah, seemed to have confessed to leading the attack on the Periyar hostel.
Awasthi confessed to carrying a rod in his hand, wearing a helmet, and channeling and mobilising the attack with the help of students who were members of ABVP, as well as members from outside the campus.
A video of a masked woman student who could be seen vandalising hostels went viral on social media after the 5 January attack.
The website revealed through their investigation that Sharma herself had confessed her involvement in the attack through a WhatsApp conversation with one of her seniors.
Hindu Raksha Dal, or the Hindu Defense League, a right-wing group, claimed responsibility for the attack on Jawaharlal Nehru University students.
On 10 January 2020, three JNU professors filed a petition in the High Court seeking a direction to Delhi Police and the government to preserve data, CCTV footage, and all evidence associated with the attack.
The data, such as messages, pictures, videos, and phone numbers of the members of the WhatsApp groups 'Unity Against Left' and 'Friends of RSS' were sought to be preserved.
Petitioners claimed that as far as they knew from news reports, the police have not yet retrieved CCTV footage, which is crucial evidence.
On 13 January, The Delhi High Court directed Delhi police to summon and seize the phones of all members of the two WhatsApp groups—'Friends of RSS' and 'Unity Against Left'—who allegedly planned and executed attacks on the campus.
The court directed JNU administration to provide all the CCTV footage and also directed Google, Whatsapp and Apple to provide any information requested by the Police.
The report noted that despite SOS calls from the students, Kumar did not allow police to enter the campus till 7:45 p.m.
The report also demanded the investigation of other faculty members (who planned the attacks) and the security company hired to ensure safety on the campus.
A committee member called the attack a planned criminal conspiracy and stated that there was sufficient evidence that proved that the attackers were affiliated with right-wing groups.

Héctor Angulo (Santa Clara, Cuba, 1932 - 2018) was a Cuban composer who combined in his works the result of deep studies about Afro-Cuban folklore and the most modern techniques of musical composition.
Héctor Angulo began his musical studies in Santa Clara and concluded in Havana, where he was instructed by professors Zenaida Romeu, Serafín Pró and Julián Orbón.
In 1959 he attended a summer course in Tanglewood, United States, and at a later time, during that same year, he received a grant to study at the Manhattan School of Music in New York, where he stayed for the next three years.
While studying in the United States, Hector Angulo informed the famous American folk-singer Pete Seeger about a famous Cuban song called Guajira Guantanamera; referring to a version composed by his previous profesor Julián Orbón, which utilized the poem of José Martí as its lyrics.
Héctor Angulo began to compose during the mid-forties decade of the 20th Century, and his first pieces were premiered during the fifties decade.

JERA is 50-50 joint venture between TEPCO Fuel & Power, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tokyo Electric Power Company, and Chubu Electric Power, founded in April 2019.
The company assumed ownership and operation of all of Tokyo Electric and Chubu Electric thermal power stations, giving it a total output of approximately 67 million kW (including capacity under construction), which made it Japan's largest power generation company.
The electricity generated is wholesaled to retail electric utilities such as TEPCO Energy Partner and Chubu Electric Power, and is not supplied directly to consumers.
The concept of JERA was floated immediately after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster by a group of young managers within Tokyo Electric, who sought to separate the thermal power generation portion of the company from the nuclear sector (together with the legal and fiscal responsibility for the accident) to ensure Tokyo Electric’s survival.
The idea was vehemently opposed by Tokyo Electric’s chairman; however, by 2012 Tokyo Electric was facing imminent bankruptcy over damage compensation claim and the costs of decommissioning the Fukushima nuclear plants, as well as high costs for fossil fuel to make up the power generation shortfall from its 17 idled nuclear reactors.
In addition, many of its thermal power plants were obsolete, and with Tokyo Electric’s plummeting credit rating, it was deemed unlikely and the necessary funding could be secured for revamping or construction.
Meanwhile, Nagoya-based Chubu Electric was eager to expand into the Kanto region and had been receiving many enquiries from Kanto-based users unhappy with Tokyo Electric’s increasing rates.
However, efforts to enter the Kanto region and to compete against Tokyo Electric were hampered by the Japanese government’s unwritten regulations creating regional electric generation monopolies.
Chubu Electric initially attempted to circumvent these regulations by building a new 650,000 kW coal-fired power generation facility on the premises of TEPCO's Hitachi Naka Thermal Power Station, with power generated by this plant to be sold by Tokyo Electric on its behalf.
This led to further discussions in September 2014 for a comprehensive alliance on thermal power generation, and JERA was launched in April 2015.

The 15th Field Regiment (RCA) Band is one of four Reserve Force bands in the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery, located at Bessborough Armoury in the British Columbian capital of Vancouver.
The band maintains a full marching and concert band as well as other musical ensembles that include jazz combos and rock bands.
The band was formed in 1934, 20 years aftee the establishment of the regiment and just after it moved into its current base.
In 2000, the band outgrew its facilities in the Bessborough Armoury and relocated to the Garrison Headquarters building near Jericho Beach on English Bay.
Although still under command and control of the home regiment, the band functions largely independently as a self contained subunit and performs more than one hundred engagements annually.
The band is a directly reporting unit of the 39 Canadian Brigade Group, and therefore supports all activities on a ceremonial level.
In 2003 and 2012, the band took part in the Fortissimo Sunset Ceremony on Parliament Hill at the invitation of the Ottawa-based Ceremonial Guard.
It involves the participation of the band, accompanied from Canada by the Naden Band of Maritime Forces Pacific, as well as bands from the United States Armed Forces, which have included in years past: the I Corps Band, the 133rd Army National Guard Band, United States Navy Band Northwest, and United States Air Force Band of the Golden West.
At that time I had an idea to end the band because it just felt right to end the band at that point.
Still even though we achieved a lot I started to feel like it's becoming more and more of a job for me and felt that I was drifting away from the most important thing in my life which is for the love of making music.
I felt like a winner and decided to put it aside because I could with a large smile remember all that great things we experienced with this band.
I lost the passion to make music my own way and the main reason why I had a lot of side projects like Black Sun Aeon, Routasielu, Dawn of Solace and The Final Harvest at the first place.

This time, he had noticeably put on weight and fought at a heavier 80 kg (176 lbs), as opposed to his previous fighting weights of 70-75 kg (154-165 lbs).
His first opponent of the year was Russia's Mike Vetrila, whom he knocked out in the 3rd round, keeping his streak of KO wins alive at 12.
Tengnueng seemed to return to his previous form, despite his weight gain, when he delivered a 1st-round KO of Simon Maait of Australia at THAI FIGHT Samui 2019 on April 27, 2019.
However, this was not to last as his performance was called into question when he faced Mohammad Hossein Doroudian of Iran at THAI FIGHT Betong 2019 on June 29, 2019.
After uncharacteristically getting knocked down early in the 1st round, Tengnueng seemed hesitant to engage but was able to inflict his own damage in much of the 2nd round.
However, the judges deemed the fight to be even after 3 rounds and declared the match a draw, requiring a 4th round to be fought.
This time around, Tengnueng captured the 1st-round KO victory with a series of high kicks that gradually wore down Doroudian's arms.
While he dominated the entire 3 rounds of the fight, Tengnueng was unable to finish off Delavar and ended up getting the win by decision.
On December 21, 2019, at THAI FIGHT: Thai Fest in Patong, Tengnueng faced perhaps one of his most decorated and experienced opponents in the USA's Cyrus Washington.
While Washington was older and slower, he was able to avoid getting knocked out by Tengnueng and the fight eventually went the full 3 rounds.
With Tengnueng landing more clear shots, he took the decision victory and was crowned the 2019 THAI FIGHT Light Cruiserweight (81kg) Champion.
The 2019 CEBL Entry Draft was the inaugural CEBL Entry Draft, held on March 23, 2019 at the Art Gallery of Hamilton in Hamilton, Ontario.

It was renamed Game Changer Wrestling in 2015, and has transformed itself into a small regional promotion into a nationally popular company that has toured all over the United States, as well as internationally in places like Japan.
The company predominantly features hardcore wrestling, and incorporates a shoot style hybrid of mixed-martial arts and professional wrestling in some events.
Jersey Championship Wrestling (JCW) was founded by independent wrestler Ricky Otazu, also known by his ring name of Ricky O, in January 1999 in New Jersey.
In June 2015, Jersey Championship Wrestling rebranded itself to Game Changer Wrestling after being purchased by Brett Lauderdale and Danny Demanto.
After the buyout, GCW began to predominantly feature hardcore wrestling and continued to enjoy success in the New Jersey Wrestling scene, producing several tournaments that boasted high-level independent wrestlers, including the Nick Gage Invitational Ultraviolent Tournament, the Tournament of Survival and the Acid Cup.
GCW would continue to expand throughout the United States and hosted its first show in Los Angeles in November 2018, titled To Live and Die in LA.
In April 2018, GCW partnered with Matt Riddle to produce Matt Riddle's Bloodsport, a show that fused professional wrestling and mixed-martial arts rules.
The Wu Chung Library (), named after , is located in the United College of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK).
As one of the seven libraries in CUHK, the United College Library houses the Philosophy collection, major Chinese monograph series collection and General Education collection, and provides facilities including a 24x7 collaborative learning space, Group Study Rooms and Outdoor Reading Area.
In 1972, with a donation by Wu Chung, the Library was named as the Wu Chung Library and moved into its present campus in Shatin.
On 1 July 2018, after distributing the multimedia collection to other CUHK Libraries according to the subject designation of the materials, the Library reverted to its original name as the Wu Chung Library.
After transforming from a multimedia library to a humanities-based library, the Wu Chung Library now houses the collections on Philosophy, Classical Chinese Reference (AC Class) and General Education.
The redesigned library applies the frameless transparent window walls, which located on the lower ground floor and the ground floor, to merge the indoor and outdoor for users to enjoy the waterfall and greenery.
The ground floor houses a cluster of computing facilities together with collaborative study space and five Group Study Rooms, as well as the Tien Chi Microcomputer Laboratory.
Like his father and uncle before him, he was an avid traveller and made regular overseas trips which included extended visits to Canada and Ireland.

In turn, the pass was named for Albert Grey, 4th Earl Grey (1851-1917), the Governor General of Canada from 1904 through 1911, who visited this pass during horseback camping trips in 1907 and 1908.
The first ascent of Mount Earl Grey was made July 16, 1928, by E. Cromwell, J. G. Hillhouse, J. Monroe Thorington, and Conrad Kain.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Earl Grey is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.
Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of Toby Creek, which in turn is a tributary of the Columbia River.
Wilhelm Thöny (10 February 1888, Graz - 1 May 1949, New York City) was an Austrian painter, illustrator, graphic artist and etcher.
He first attended the Landeskunstschule (State Art School) in Graz then, from 1908 to 1912, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich with Angelo Jank and Gabriel von Hackl.
In 1916, he was allowed to visit the prisoner-of-war camps in Broumov, Kleinmünchen (near Linz) and Mauthausen, where he made portrait studies of the prisoners; mostly Italian, Albanian, Romanian and Greek.
In 1917, he became a Lieutenant in the Reserve and was stationed on the Italian Front, where he created large-scale depictions of the battles fought there.
In this regard, he is often confused with Eduard Thöny (no relation), who was an official artist with the press corps.
After the war, he returned to Graz, where he became the founder and first President of the (1923); a modern artists' association.
In 1925, he married Thea Herrmann-Trautner; daughter of the American expatriate painter, Frank Herrmann (1866–1942), and sister of the caricaturist .
This led to a fascination with large cities so, in 1931, he left Graz and lived in Paris until 1938; precipitating a major change in his style.
During these years, he exhibited widely, receiving a gold medal at the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne in 1937.
On March 4, 1948, a warehouse fire destroyed over a thousand of his graphics and paintings which were being stored for an exhibition.
His surviving works may be seen at the (which held a major retrospective in 2013), Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, and the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum in Vienna.

Twickenham War Memorial, in Radnor Gardens, Twickenham, London, commemorates the men of the district of Twickenham who died in the First World War.
Henry VII replaced that building with Richmond Palace, which was further developed by his son Henry VIII until the latter gained possession of the even grander Hampton Court Palace in 1525.
In the 18th century the area saw the development of more modest riverside retreats for the aristocracy and the upper classes.
These villas were firstly constructed in a Palladian style, echoing the villas of the Veneto, but by the mid-century early examples of the Gothic Revival began to appear, most notably Horace Walpole's Strawberry Hill House.
The park in which the memorial stands was formed from the grounds of Radnor House and Cross Deep House by Twickenham Urban District Council in 1903.
At the end of the First World War, in common with many local authorities, the council decided to erect a war memorial to commemorate the dead of the district.
Brown had trained at the Hanley School of Art and the National Art Training School, followed by study at the Royal Academy Schools.
The figure is depicted walking in service dress and greatcoat, holding a rifle in one hand, with the other hand lifting up a cap to wave above his head.
The Cambridge War Memorial has a similar composition of a soldier marching home cheerfully holding a helmet, and the Lancashire Fusiliers Boer War Memorial in Bury, Greater Manchester, is an earlier example of a memorial sculpture of a soldier holding aloft his headgear in celebration.
The main statue stands on a tall square plinth of Portland stone, which has bronze plaques set in four sides and a dedicatory inscription on the south side which was amended after the Second World War to recognise the dead of Twickenham in that conflict.
Three of the bronze plaques are figurative relief sculptures showing: three airmen (to the west); two women, one a nurse and the other a Voluntary Aid Detachment volunteer (north); and two naval officers and a rating (east).
The borough's coat of arms appears on small bronze plaque on the south side of the plinth, above the inscription: / / / / / / / / .
The memorial was sited to form a vista towards the Star and Garter Home for disabled servicemen, previously located on Richmond Hill to the northeast.
It was unveiled by Field Marshal Sir William Robertson, 1st Baronet, on 2 November 1921, at a ceremony attended by a band from the Royal Military School of Music at Kneller Hall nearby and a large crowd sheltering under umbrellas against the continuous rain.
The Passage of the Grande Honnelle was a battle between troops of the British First and Third Armies and German Empire forces during the Hundred Days Offensive of the First World War.
General Horne’s objective was to cross the French border into Belgium and forge a passage through the parallel rivers of the Grand Honnelle and Petite Honnelle, moving the battlefront towards the line between Mons on the left and Aulnios on the right.
In October 1918, the First and Third British Armies had broken through the Hindenburg Line, at the Second Battle of Cambrai.
Together with the failing German morale, this convinced many Allied commanders and political leaders that the war could be brought to an end in 1918; previously, all efforts had been concentrated on building up forces to mount a decisive attack in 1919.
In the aftermath of the Battle of Valenciennes on 1 November, the German Army was in retreat, to such an extent that Field Marshall Haig ordered a general advance, telling divisions to act vigorously on their own initiative so as to keep the Germans from establishing a firm line.
On 4 November the 3rd and 4th Canadian divisions arrived on both sides of the Valenciennes–Mons road; their front extended from Condé in the north to Marchipont in the south.
The 56th (London) Infantry Division and 11th (Northern) Division were further south; their front extended from Rombies to Jenlain, with Third Army on the right.
Patrols from the 87th Battalion (Canadian Grenadier Guards), a unit of the 4th Canadian Division, crossed the Aunelle River, marking the liberation by the Canadians of the first part of occupied Belgium.
The 13th and 14th London Regiments failed to clear the area, however, the 1/5th London Regiment successfully secured Angreau in a tough battle along the Grande Honnelle.
Four battalions advanced through Roisin: the 9th (Yorkshire Hussars) West Yorkshire Regiment, 6th Lincolnshire Regiment, 7th South Staffordshire Regiment and 9th Sherwood Foresters (Nottingham and Derbyshire Regiment).
However, there was to be no let up and both XXII Corps and Canadian Corps were to continue the advance the following day, their objective being the railway line between Mons and Aulnois to the south.
When the 11th (Northern) Infantry Division finally reached the left bank of the Grande Honnelle river they were unable to cross due to heavy enemy fire from the wooded slopes on the opposite bank, the Bois Caillouquibique d'Angre.
When troops of the 56th (London) Infantry Division crossed the river to the east of Angreau they were immediately driven back to the left bank by a counterattack from Bois de Beaufort.
Further north, men of the 56th Division crossed the Grande Honelle twice at Angre, reaching the high ground between Onnezies and Baisieux; again they were driven back by the enemy but managed to establish a bridgehead on the right bank of the river.
During the night the 63rd (Royal Naval) Division came forward from a welcome rest at St. Pol, in relief of the 168th Brigade, 56th Division, west of Bois d'Audregnies.
The 56th Division was then on a single brigade front, with the 11th Division on the right and the 63rd on the left.
The 4th Canadian Division advanced through more favourable terrain, allowing the deployment of artillery that helped in the capture of Quievrechain on the French side of the river.
Pushing east, the Canadians crossed the border, forced a passage across the Grand Honelle between Angre and Quivrain, and went on to take part of the village of Baisieux, which lies on the sister river of La Petite Honnelle, about 1.5 miles north of Angre, where the 56th Division had made their bridgehead.
Baisieux would be a strategic loss for the Germans, posing a threat to their line of retreat from the attack of XXII Corps in the south.
This battle would be the last feat of arms of the 4th Canadian division in the war: during the night of 6-7 November the division was replaced by the 2nd Canadian Division.
Further north, beyond the Mons-Valenciennes railway line, the 3rd Canadian Division continued their advance between the River Escaut and the Mons-Conde canal, reaching the outskirts of the French village of Crespin.
Major Dudley Ward describes the action from the perspective of the 56th Division:The German rearguards were only able, on especially favourable positions, to check the advance of a few divisions; on the whole the rearguards were being thrown back on the main retreating force.
The roads were packed with enemy troops and transport, and the real modern cavalry, the low-flying aeroplanes, swooped down on them, with bomb and machine gun spreading panic and causing the utmost confusion.
During the night of 6-7 November the 63rd Division was put into line on the front of the 168th Brigade, and the 169th was relieved by the 167th Brigade.
The 56th Division was then on a single brigade front, with the 11th Division on the right and the 63rd on the left.
At dawn on the 7th patrols found that the enemy was still in front of them, and at 9 a.m. the brigade attacked with the 8th Middlesex on the right and the 7th Middlesex on the left.
They swept on through the northern part of the wood, and by 10.30 a.m. the 7th Middlesex entered the village of Onnezies.
The 3rd Canadian Division continued its progression and liberated La Croix et Hensies, while just before midnight the 2nd Division took the villages of Bois-de-Boussu, Petit Hornu, Bois-de-Epinois and a portion of Bois-de-Leveque.
Major Dudley Ward continues his description:Explosions and fires, which were continually observed at night behind the enemy lines, were more numerous on the night of 7th/8th, and when the advance was continued at 8 a.m., the two Middlesex battalions occupied the villages of Athis and Fayt-le-Franc with practically no opposition.
Railhead was at Aubigny-au-Bac, and supply lorries were unable to proceed any farther than the Honnelle River owing to the destruction of the bridges.
All traffic was thrown on the main roads, which, to the west of the river, were now in such a state that all supplies were late.
The 56th Division marched forward through the villages of Coron, Rieu-de-Bury, Quevy-le-Grand, and Quevy-le-Petit, and by the evening were on the line of the Mons-Maubeuge road behind a line of outposts held by the 1st London Regt.
Although the main attack on the 6th had not been a total success for the allied forces, General Horne's First Army had established bridgeheads across the Grande Honnelle and threatened the retreat of the German army via Baisieux.
As day became night, the evening patrols soon discovered that the enemy had indeed begun a retreat, meeting little opposition along the length of the First Army's front.
During the night, the 56th Division crossed the Grande Honnelle, occupying the high ground northeast of Angre - unlike the actions during the previous day when they were twice forced to retreat from the same region, this advance went unopposed, setting the tone for the next few days.
The advance was now continuous and almost unopposed by enemy infantry; however, isolated machine-gun detachments and sporadic artillery fire continued to cause casualties as what had been a battle became a pursuit.
As Horne had predicted, the progress of the advance was mainly governed by the state of the roads, and the ability to get rations to the forward troops.
The Canadian troops reached Mons late on the night of 10 November and on the morning of 11 November, having fought seven major battles, Horne's First Army entered Mons, where the first battle of the war had taken place in 1914.
The order of battle for this phase of the final advance included units of General Horne's First Army and General Byng's Third Army.
It was one of the largest ships of its time and could be, as recorded by a subordinate of sir Henry Middleton, easily identified from miles away.
It mainly acted as a Hajj ship and could carry 1000–1500 pilgrims at a time, though it also carried various Indian commodities for trading.
The ship was captured by the Portuguese in the year 1613, despite having the necessary pass issued by the Portuguese themselves that guaranteed protection to it.
According to 2011 Census of India, the total population of the village is 1,749, out of 955 are males and 794 are females.
The government established the Pilgrim Route of John Paul II (16 sites) in 2007 though there are many more sites that attract local pilgrims.
There are many sites visited by residents of the same parish or deanery, or sites that saw their devotion diminish through the years.
Priest Robertas Gedvydas Skrinskas in his 1999 guide to pilgrimage sites counted more than 100 Marian images that are considered miraculous and 25 sites of Marian apparitions.
Such delayed development was caused by the late Christianization of Lithuania in 1387 and the slow adoption of Christianity among the population that still worshiped pagan gods.
The first known pilgrimage took place in 1604 when Bishop organized a Jesuit pilgrimage from Vilnius to the Mother of God of Trakai.
Vilnius attracted pilgrims not only with the Calvary, but also with the relics of Saint Casimir in Vilnius Cathedral (dedicated Chapel of Saint Casimir was completed in 1636) and Our Lady of the Gate of Dawn (dedicated chapel was completed in 1671).
During the Soviet anti-religious campaign in 1958–1964, the authorities of the Lithuanian SSR took active measures to hinder the pilgrims and destroy several pilgrimage sites – chapels of Verkiai and were demolished while crosses were removed from the Hill of Crosses.
In 1993, during his visit to Lithuania, Pope John Paul II visited several key pilgrimage sites, including the Gate of Dawn, Hill of Crosses, and Šiluva.
In 2007, for the 15th anniversary of his visit, Lithuanian bishops and Lithuanian government established a pilgrim route of Pope John Paul II with 14 sites; two more sites were added in 2009.
In 2013, several Municipalities of Lithuania established several routes inspired by Camino de Santiago (St. James Way) that connect different churches of St. James in different regions of Lithuania.

The men's decathlon event at the 1989 Summer Universiade was held at the Wedaustadion in Duisburg on 26 and 27 August 1989.
The Austro-Hungarian compromise and its supporting parliamentary parties remained bitterly unpopular among the ethnic Hungarian voters, and the continuous successes of the pro-compromise Liberal Party in the Hungarian parliamentary elections caused long lasting frustration among Hungarian voters.
The ethnic minorities had the key-role in the political maintenance of the compromise in Hungary, because they were able to vote the pro-compromise liberal parties into the position of the majority/ruling parties of the Hungarian parliament.
The pro-compromise liberal parties were the most popular among ethnic minority voters, however the Slovak-Serb-Romanian minority parties have remained unpopular among the ethnic minorities.
The nationalist Hungarian parties - which were supported by the overwhelming majority of ethnic Hungarian voters - have always remained in the opposition.
The Liberal Party had been ruling Hungary for almost 30 years with an iron hand and at the service of the Hungarian elite.
The Széll Government managed to temporarily break through this obstruction in 1902 by concluding an agreement with the opposition parties, but from 1903 the opposition re-applied the obstruction.
He also insisted on a change in the house rules of the House of Representatives, the lower house of the Diet, in order to deal with the obstruction.
After a speech by István Tisza on 18 November 1904, a representative of the Liberal Party, Gábor Daniel, submitted a motion to change the house rules of the House of Representatives.
During the following commotion, the President of the House of Representatives, Dezső Perczel, suddenly declared that the proposal had been adopted and that the session was suspended.
When the parliamentary session was resumed on 13 December 1904, the opposition persisted in its obstruction and the mood rose to such an extent that the furniture of the House of Representatives was even destroyed and order services were attacked with the furniture.
The 1905 elections meant a big loss for the Liberal Party and a big win for the united opposition, but nevertheless King Franz Joseph left the Tisza Government in office for a few months.
Eventually the king appointed a new government under the leadership of the officer Géza Fejérváry, who did not have a parliamentary majority.
After about a third of the Liberal Party deputies left the party during the Hungarian crisis, the Liberal Party was finally dissolved in 1906.

12 Characters in Search of an Apocalypse: On the Road is a travelling interactive performance of the collection of essays entitled 12 Characters in Search of an Apocalypse by USA author Andrew Boyd published in 2017.
A UK group working with Wales-based Community Interest Company Giraffe Social Enterprises began a travelling roadshow that used the Characters as a focus for encouraging communities to discuss how they are being affected by the Climate Emergency and called the roadshow 12 Characters in Search of an Apocalypse: On the Road.
Boyd performed some of the Characters at the launch party for Dark Mountain Issue 11 held at Wild Goose Space in Bristol on 12 May 2017.
In August 2017, a group from Giraffe Social Enterprises, a community interest company in Wales, began a travelling performance of the monologues to encourage community-wide conversations about the challenge of climate change.
Others have taken place at festivals, cafes, empty warehouses, and the largest yet took place on 4 December 2018 at the Woodbrooke Quaker Centre in Birmingham had 45 participants from 12 different countries and ranging from 4 to 70 years of age.
They are half performances (we read the monologues and people listen for 45 minutes) and half conversations (in between every 3rd monologue there are interludes for neighbors to share with one another and after the readings are finished there is 90 minutes for an open hosted conversation).
The first trial performance happened in Norfolk in August 2017 and the first public performance happened on 13 October 2017, in Portsmouth.
There have been 20+ gatherings in Wales, England, and Scotland to date with most events taking place in private homes, some in cafes and at schools Ysgol Dewi Sant, in Wales.
Since the translation of the Characters was added to the Open Source Transifex translation site, the event began to spread internationally.
The original 12 characters published in Dark Mountain issue 11 are all extremely USA-centric and they all believe climate change is real and that it is a critical problem.

The Arches is a heritage-listed ruin at Rocky Point Road in the former settlement of Longridge in the Australian territory of Norfolk Island.
A substantial agricultural station was developed at Longridge during the Second Settlement of Norfolk Island (1825-1855), during which time it was used as a penitentiary for doubly-convicted British felons.
During the 1830s and 40s large gaols and barracks were built at Kingston and Longridge together with the buildings necessary for the storage of crops and other goods.
The lands here were used for corn and wheat growing and pig-raising, and had been used for some farming during the First Settlement period.
The surviving sections of the building consist of stone walling, the main wall having ten arches, with another series of openings above the arches.
Although the building is said by some to have been a prisoners' barrack, this is not confirmed, and may be a confusion with the Prisoners' Barracks No 2.
There is a possibility that the building was used to store or load carts with farm produce, was used as stables, or that grain may have been stored in the building.
The scale and design of the building are intriguing as they reflect a level of extravagance not often seen in penal settlements (Port Arthur being the primary exception).
The ruined building, on account of its large size and dramatic appearance and its ability to evoke the past, is of notable aesthetic value in the Longridge landscape.
It is close to a number of surviving buildings outside of the heritage boundary, including a former cookhouse and a ration store and bakehouse, and Branka House, as well as plants introduced during the First and Second Settlement periods, including red cedar, citrus trees, banana trees and a Moreton Bay Fig.
Longridge was a major agricultural station on the Island at the time, and the building, constructed toward the end of the Second Settlement, was evidently an important part of the station's agricultural infrastructure.
The ruined building, on account of its large size and dramatic appearance and its ability to evoke a sense of the past in onlookers, is of notable aesthetic value in the Longridge landscape.

Karl Heinrich von Seibt was born in Mariental (Oberlausitz), a long-established settlement on the banks of the Neisse river at the northern frontier of Bohemia, which at that time (and by many criteria till 1945) was culturally and linguistically German.
It was probably in 1751 that he entered Prague University where between 1751 and 1753 the focus of his studies was on Philosophy.
According to one source it was because he was troubled by the extent to which Prague University was dominated by Jesuits that in 1756 he switched to Leipzig University, now studying (again) Philosophy and Philology (German, French and English).
He was powerfully influenced by two leading representatives of the German enlightenment; the poet-rhetorician Christian Fürchtegott Gellert (1715-1769) and the (at the time) widely revered writer Johann Christoph Gottsched (1700-1766).
He represented a new generation, influenced by enlightenment thinking which many still found unnerving, but which in the Holy Roman Empire enjoyed strong support from the empress and from her equally formidable Prussian rival.
Seibt was one of the first at Prague University to deliver his lectures in German (rather than simply in Latin), and he also saw to it that students became familiar with (at the time) revolutionary ideas coming out of France England and Scotland.
He introduced them to the works and ideas of Pope, Gottsched, Gellert, Shakespeare and Charles Rollin, along with contemporaries such as David Hume and Charles Batteux.
One of Seibt's first known published works, which appeared in 1765, was a funeral oration celebrating Francis I, who died in August of that year.
The 1773 suppression of the Jesuits by the pope took effect relatively promptly in the Habsburg lands and removed a hitherto important source of conservative resistance to enlightenment secularism in the world of catholic education.
In 1785 he took over a full professorship in Theology and Philosophy, while surrendering his professorship embracing Ethics and Classical Literature which was taken on by August Gottlieb Meißner, the first Protestant to take a teaching post at the university for nearly 150 years.
He retired from his professorship and other appointments in 1801, the importance of his contribution to the development of teaching at the university widely acknowledged by colleagues.
By the end of the nineteenth century the abandonment of Latin as a universal language for the multi-ethnic Habsburg lands was leading not to its replacement with German but to the increased application of a series of regional languages such as (in Bohemia) Czech, and across the border to the north various Sorbian dialects.

The children Gerda and Kay listen to the Grandmother telling them about the Snow Queen, whereupon Kay imagines bringing the Snow Queen into the warm room and watching her melt.
Gerda tells him how the devil created a magic mirror which makes everything beautiful look ugly and that it has broken into a million tiny pieces.
She explains that anyone getting one of these splinters in their eye or heart would only see the imperfections in things; the coldness causing their hearts to become numb.
While Gerda and Kay look at the blooming roses Kay is suddenly being pierced by something into his heart and then into his eye.
From this moment on, he too only sees the imperfection of the flowers whereupon he mocks Gerda and picks the roses to pieces.

Cartel seats as monuments were the headquarters or other premises of historical, no longer existing cartels in the sense of a group of cooperating, but rivaling enterprises.
Often, these associations had been syndicate cartels being an advanced form of entrepreneurial combination because of their tight organization with a common sales agency.
Mostly, however, they have become simpler in their appearance, because later owners did not restore the original ornaments (easily recognizable at the headquarters of the Potash Syndicate (Stassfurt and Berlin, Germany) and of the Comptoir de Longwy, France).
To the monument category of large cartel seats, one could add the buildings also of historic economic planning associations, which are considered to be similar to a cartel.
However, this has not been put into practice: A number of buildings around the world have been designated and protected as historical corporate headquarters, but not a single former cartel seat has been signposted as such.
The cartel specialist Holm Arno Leonhardt pointed out in 2013 how important certain cartels had been for economic development in the 19th century, such as the sales organizations for coal and steel in the Rhine-Ruhr-area of Germany: The Rhenish-Westphalian Coal Syndicate and the German Stahlwerksverband.
The reasons for the conspicuous reluctance of the historic preservation authorities and the established historians in relation to historical cartel buildings can be found in the taboo, which after the Second World War was installed by the general cartel ban.
The Austrian cartel system was definitely dominated by the city of Vienna as the political and administrative center of Austria-Hungary or of the republican Austria.
The responsibility of these associations ranged from the wider town area (in most cases craft cartels) via Lower Austria, crownland/republic Austria, the Austrian part of the Habsburg monarchy, the whole Austria-Hungary up to an international or global reach.
In terms of architecture, the Viennese cartel residences don’t stand out: They feature the same pomp style as the neighboring buildings and are not marked with specific trade symbols.

Kul-chur inscription or Küli Čor inscription was an inscription erected in honor of a military leader called Kul Chur of the Xueyantuo.
Thus, it is possible to argue that the name of Küli Çor before he received his hero name (er at) was Tonyukuk.
The author considered that the personal name of Küli Çor was Tonyukuk, however this person was not in fact the known Tonyukuk, since his known title was Boyla Baγa Tarqan and especially based on the name Qapaghan Qaghan to be mentioned in the third line, it was not possible for Küli Çor to die after 716.
It is worth noting that the name or title unity in the first line of the Küli Çor inscription should be considered with the name Tonyukuk mentioned both in Tonyukuk and Küli Çor inscriptions, although both are not related to the famous Tonyukuk.
Reynhard Tambos Maruli Tua Sinaga (born 19 February 1983) is an Indonesian serial rapist who was convicted of 159 sex offences, including 136 rapes of young men committed in Manchester, England, between 2015 and 2017, where he was living as a mature student.
He was found guilty of drugging and sexually assaulting 48 men during this period, 44 of whom he raped, although the police believe he was offending for years beforehand.
Sinaga was prosecuted in four trials between 2018 and 2020 and was given 88 concurrent life sentences with a minimum term of 30 years.
Sinaga is believed by police to have raped or assaulted at least 195 men in Manchester, having waited for them outside at nightclubs, pubs, and similar venues in the early hours.
After completing a degree in Architecture at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Indonesia in Depok in 2006, he moved to the UK on a student visa and began to study in August 2007 at Manchester University, where he completed a MSc degree in Planning in 2009 and an MA in Sociology in 2011.
While in England Sinaga attended St Chrysostom's Church, a liberal congregation of the Church of England, and the church provided Sinaga with a character reference for his trial.
Remaining in Manchester, he began to study for a Leeds University PhD in August 2012 on human geography, which he did not complete.
While in Manchester, Sinaga lived openly as a gay man, living not far from Manchester's gay village, and reportedly had many boyfriends.
He would wait for men leaving nightclubs and bars before leading them to his flat, often offering them somewhere to have a drink or call a taxi.
Giving them a drugged drink, believed to have been spiked with GHB, Sinaga would then assault the victims while they were unconscious and video the attack with a mobile phone.
He rarely used condoms when penetrating his victims; despite this, he was found negative for sexually transmitted infections upon his arrest.
At the time his sentence was announced in January 2020, almost all of Sinaga's victims were known to have been heterosexual young men, with three exceptions.
In June 2017, his last victim, an 18-year old, regained consciousness during the rape, fought off his attacker, and reported the incident to the police.
Sinaga was badly beaten and was taken to hospital, while police initially arrested his victim on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.
Subsequent examination of Sinaga's two iPhones by the police led to the discovery of 3.29TB of digital video evidence of the assaults and rapes.
Although the earliest case to be tried in courts stems from 2015, police believe Sinaga began the attacks in 2005, two years before he arrived in the UK.
The man, a heterosexual like the majority of Sinaga's victims, could remember nothing when he awoke the next day in his abuser's flat covered in vomit.
Because of the false concern from Sinaga, like others, he expressed concern for imposing on his host before leaving; he had been raped twice.
Sinaga pleaded 'not guilty' to all charges made against him with the result that his victims had to endure relating evidence in court and the videos being shown to the jurors and others present at the trials.
In his own defence, he claimed to have been playing sex games with the other man playing dead in order to fulfil his fantasies.
He claimed that the encounters were consensual, a claim found to be false as victims were heard snoring in the videos.
The four trials took place between 1 June and 10 July 2018 covering 13 victims, 1 April to 7 May 2019 with 12 victims, 16 September to 4 October 2019 covering 10 victims, and December 2019 with 13 victims, a total of 48 named victims out of at least 195 Sinaga is believed to have raped while they were unconscious.
Sinaga was convicted of 136 counts of rape, 14 counts of sexual assault, eight counts of attempted rape and one count of assault by penetration.
Reporting restrictions were in place until the conclusion of his last trial, after which his crimes were made public for the first time.
The charity Safeline reported a record increase in calls to its hotline for male sexual abuse survivors in the aftermath of the case, with Safeline founder Duncan Craig stating that it had started a national conversation regarding men opening up about sexual abuse.
After Sinaga's conviction, the mayor of Depok in Indonesia, Mohammad Idris, announced that he planned to order raids on the local LGBT community.
The announcement was swiftly condemned by human rights activists saying that conservatives in Indonesia were using Sinaga as an excuse to target the gay community in the country.
On 16 January, after Sinaga's case was referred by the Crown Prosecution Service to the Attorney General, it was referred by him to the Court of Appeal for being too lenient.

After his doctorate, he worked as a researcher at the Japan Society for the Protection of Science and then from 1991 was senior researcher at the then Communications Research Laboratory of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.
Educated at Punahou School, he was in the right place at the right time to make a lot of money in the sugar plantation market.
California entrepreneur Claus Spreckels offered him a separate partnership in 1881, a union that would come to include the Spreckels interests in sugar plantations, and have subsidiaries in banking activities and ship building.
Two decades later, after amassing a fortune in his association with Spreckels, Irwin moved away from the plantation activities and relocated to San Francisco, where he continued his affiliations with financial institutions.
His only child Helene married the first time into the wealthy Crocker family of California, and through her second marriage to Paul I. Fagan, became an owner of the San Francisco Seals baseball team.
The school was established for children of missionaries, but later included children of Hawaii's royalty, and one future United States President, Barack Obama.
After working for other businessmen for several years, and shortly after the passage of the Reciprocity Treaty of 1875, Irwin partnered with John Smith Walker and Zephaniah Swift Spalding to form William G. Irwin & Co. That partnership was terminated in 1880.
Irwin was president of the Paauhau and the Kilauea Sugar companies, held stock in other sugar companies, and was one of the March 1882 founders of the Planters Labor and Supply Company.
He represented Hawaii at the 1900 Exposition Universelle (world's fair) in Paris, and was subsequently awarded the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor by the nation of France.
He partnered with California entrepreneur Claus Spreckels in 1881 to form W. G. Irwin & Co. to handle the Spreckels family interests in Hawaii.
Incorporated by Irwin, former California governor Frederick Low and Spreckels, on January 1, 1884, it's purpose was to circulate the Kalākaua coinage in Hawaii, and to float loans to the monarchy and government officials.
The only other bank in Hawaii was Bishop & Company, and proliferation of sugar money necessitated that other banks be allowed incorporation.
Towards that end, the legislature passed what became known as the Banking Act of 1884, signed into law by Kalākaua on August 11.
After the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Spreckels found himself at odds over the issue with other planters, and supported Liliʻuokalani's return to the throne.
If Hawaii were annexed, the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act would likely apply to the islands and cut deeply into the plantation labor supply.
He eventually abandoned his Hawaii involvement, and left the Hawaii business for Irwin and his sons John D., Claus August and Adolph to manage.
By 1904, he was becoming less active with his Hawaiian sugar interests, and built a home in San Francisco with a scenic view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
That was followed by his association with Savings Union Bank and Trust Company in 1909, and with the Mercantile National Bank in 1910.
Her first marriage in 1911 was to Charles Templeton Crocker, a banker, playwright, and part of the extended wealthy Crocker family in California.
On her wedding day, Irwin gave her a gift of $1,000,000 in investments, and the news media estimated the couple's combined wealth and potential inheritances at $20,000,000.

Annabel Kanabus was born Annabel Sainsbury and is the fourth child born to the late Sir Robert Sainsbury and the late Lisa Sainsbury.
School holidays were spent at the family home in Bucklebury, Berkshire, where because of her father's art collection there were Giacometti and Picasso drawings on the walls and a Henry Moore sculpture in the garden.
In 1978 Annabel & Peter Kanabus gave to charity most of Annabel's inherited fortune of £3 million.The money was initially put into a charitable trust, the Bucklebury Trust.
Around 1985 Annabel started learning about HIV/AIDS and along with her husband Peter decided to set up a charity which they called AVERT.
WHO sent a copy to the government of every country as an example of good practice in educating young people about HIV & AIDS.
In 1989 Annabel & Peter gave AVERT an endowment of £3 million, all the remaining money from the Bucklebury Trust, to fund those projects which it would other wise be difficult to raise money for.
In 1995 the World Wide Web came to the South of England and the first information was put up on www.avert.org for World AIDS Day 1995.
As well as her work on HIV/AIDS, Annabel also spoke out about the need for more funding for medical research generally, as well as the need for better health education.
Jason left a large legacy to the Princes Trust and Annabel and her husband were initially unclear as to whether this donation was going to be used correctly.
In 2007 Annabel was once more visiting South Africa on behalf of AVERT, and specifically a doctor Colin Pfaff, who wanted to give additional anti HIV drugs to women to prevent their children being born infected with HIV.
Annabel arranged for AVERT to buy the drugs and was supported by the South African HIV Clinicians' Society when Colin Pfaff was charged with misconduct.
But during her time at AVERT she had not only developed an expert knowledge of HIV/AIDS but she had also learnt about and started to speak out about the deadly effects of TB & HIV co-infection and about TB prevention & care in England.
Annabel is also a co-investigator on a research project concerning head & neck cancer which has received an award of £260,302 from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).
In January 2019 Annabel spoke about the research and the effect of cancer on her life, at the NIHR UCLH Biomedical Research Centre annual meeting.

The Spanish Democratic Union (; UDE) was a Spanish political party founded in 1975 as a political association, then as a party from August 1976.
Among the party's most notable members were government ministers in Adolfo Suárez's first cabinet Alfonso Osorio, Eduardo Carriles, Andrés Reguera Guajardo and Enrique de la Mata.
The party was led by former public works minister Federico Silva Muñoz until October 1976, when he stepped down over discrepancies with his party on the issue of forming an alliance of centre-right and conservative parties; such an alliance would materialize into the formation of the People's Alliance (AP), which Muñoz would join after splitting from the UDE.
In 4 April 1977, UDE would merge together with the Christian Democratic People's Party (PPDC) into the newly-formed Christian Democratic Party (PDC), which would in turn eventually merge into the Union of the Democratic Centre in December 1977, and dissolved in February 1978.
Days later, US Army soldier and Atomwaffen Division member Jarrett Smith was arrested in Fort Riley, Kansas, alleging he discussed bomb-making, sending bombs to CNN and Beto O'Rourke, and setting fire to Harper's house.
In late October, a video was posted on Nehlen's Telegram channel, showing his Bowl Patrol patch and the incorrect Harper house.
In late November, the incorrect Daniel Harper sent a Twitter direct message to the podcast host Daniel Harper, explaining that the incorrect house was previously owned by the incorrect Harper but they had sold the house to the Shea family.
Harper was finally able to get a response from the FBI and the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office, and two local newspapers wrote about the Shea house confusion in late December.

Jayaram Narainsamy Reddy (24 October 1925 – 5 July 2019) popularly known as JN Reddy, was a South African politician who was the leader of the Solidarity party which was represented in the House of Delegates, the body within the Apartheid Tricameral Parliament reserved for Indian South Africans.
He was the leader of the opposition from 1984 to 1989, and the leader of the majority party in the House from 1989 to 1993.
His father was born in Puthoor, a village in the South Arcot District of the Madras Presidency of India, now in the Tiruvannamalai district.
JN Reddy's father came to South Africa at the age of 5, where his father was working for the South African Railways after serving out a term of Indentured servitude in a sugar plantation.
Narainsamy Reddy was active in the workers' rights movement and a member of the Natal Indian Congress, a party started by Mahatma Gandhi.
In 1965, Reddy started the company Sealandair Shipping and Forwarding, the first such company in South Africa not owned by whites.
In 1970 with support from the state, he started the New Republic Bank, which he described as the first black bank in South Africa, at a time when the major South African banks only employed white tellers.
He served on the councils of the University of Durban-Westville and ML Sultan Technikon, and was able to influence large industrial companies to take on apprentices and technicians from these institutions, increasing Indian economic participation.
He also used his influence to convince the authorities to accept people of colour for training as chartered accountants and telecommunications technicians.
He served on the boards of a number of companies, including the Rembrandt Group, the Permanent Building Society and Standard Bank, and also served on the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council.
Reddy was an active supporter of the rights of Indians under Apartheid, lobbying to get parts of Cato Manor declared an Indian area under the Group Areas Act and for Indians to be allowed to work north of the Tugela river, for example in Richards Bay.
He was present for the adoption of the Freedom Charter in Kliptown in 1955, due to his involvement with the Natal Indian Congress.
In 1984, in the lead-up to the 1984 South African general election, which determined the makeup of the first House of Delegates, Reddy co-founded the political party Solidarity, becoming its first leader.
Solidarity appealed more to South Africans with Southern Indian roots, while Amichand Rajbansi's National People's Party appealed more to those with a North Indian heritage.
The election of 1984 was marked by boycotts, as many Coloured and Indian South Africans saw the tricameral system as a means to entrench Apartheid.
Despite having been formed less than a year before the election, Solidarity contested all 40 constituencies in the House of Delegates.
There were suggestions at the time that Solidarity was somehow initiated by the government, as Prime Minister P. W. Botha preferred Dr. Reddy to the leadership of the National People's Party, a claim which was made more credible by the fact that some of the party leaders, including Reddy, had been members of government institutions, for example the President's Council.
Another reason was that Solidarity was able to afford to spend more than its opponents on propaganda, although Solidarity claimed that this was all funded by personal contributions.
Despite winning most of the seats in the Natal province in the 1984 election, Solidarity was not able to win enough seats in the other provinces, and formed the opposition to the National People's Party.
Instead, the parties agreed on a coalition, with two Solidarity members (JN Reddy and Ismail Kathrada) appointed to the Minister's Council.
The coalition only lasted a few months, however, and dissolved, partly due to differences between the parties, but also because the Speaker of the House ruled that Solidarity could not be the official opposition while its leader served on the Council.
In 1988, Rajbansi was removed from his position as chairman of the Minister's Council due to corruption, based on the preliminary findings of the James Commission of inquiry, and Reddy assumed this position in March 1989.
In the 1989 South African general election in September, Solidarity was able to win 19 of the 45 seats (40 elected and 5 appointed).
This result established it as the governing party in the House, motivating independents and members of smaller parties to join Solidarity and giving it a majority position.
In 1991, Rajbansi briefly regained a majority in the House after a successful vote of no confidence in Reddy, but this was soon overturned, allowing Reddy to retain leadership of the House.
In 1991, it was expected that conservative parties such as Solidarity would align themselves with the National Party, but Reddy denied rumours that the Solidarity leadership was discussing plans to join the National Party.
The NIC, however, protested their inclusion on the grounds that it would be hypocritical to support candidates who had taken part in the Tricameral system that the liberation movements had protested against, hence they were dropped from the list.

Vira Kerala, also spelled Veera Kerala or Keralan, was a name given to male members of several medieval ruling families of Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
The game, played from a first-person perspective, incorporates gameplay elements around optical illusions and forced perspective; notably, certain objects when picked up can be moved towards or away from the player, but when placed back down, scale to the size as the player had viewed them, enabling the player to solve puzzles to complete the game.
The player-character is a participant in a dream therapy program, but during the study, the character becomes trapped in a recurring dream cycle, and is guided by the voice of the study's overseer, Dr. Glenn Pierce, on how to escape from the dream.
The exit door may be closed and require a button to be held down to open, or atop a higher platform out of reach, or may not be immediately visible.
The bulk of such interactions are based on the use of forced perspective: the player can pick up a waist-high cube, which is then kept at its apparent current size from the player's perspective.
The player can then look elsewhere around the room, with the cube maintained at the same viewpoint, and drop that cube at that location, where the cube will scale up or downwards in size based on the new perspective.
Taking the waist-high cube and looking downwards towards the floor when dropping it will make the cube shrink in size, while looking upwards towards the ceiling and dropping will make it grow large.
This process can be repeated indefinitely, allowing the player to manipulate these scalable objects as to create platforms to reach the exit or clear obstacles blocking them.
He improved upon the concept during his graduate work, establishing Pillow Castle in January 2014 and obtaining assistance from four other ETC students to build out the game.
Then, as the player looks around, the game figures the new distance to the farthest point directly in front of the player, and scales the object's size proportional to the change from the original distance.
The more difficult factor Shih had found was accounting for the complex shapes of some objects and where the player expected the center viewpoint to be at.
Other puzzles in the game involving the projecting and de-projecting of 3D objects onto 2D planes used Unity's camera and projector objects with the only challenge being related to the camera depth, something that Shih said was not well-supported in Unity, but credits programmer Phil Fortier for solving.
The scaling puzzles proved to have some trouble in playtesting since players could come up with possible solutions that ultimately were not working and the game unable to provide feedback for why.
Instead of having players being able to jump, which the scaling made inconsistent, they instead let player mantle up ledges making it easier to guide players to a solution.
By 2015, most of the ETC students Shih had had graduated and left Pillow Castle, and he spend part-time on the game while working at other jobs.
Shih spent much of the time since 2014 to evaluate the direction to take the game, eventually working full time on the game and hiring additional staff to complete the title.
The game's core mechanic was praised, but generally reviewers felt the game was short and lacked some of the potential that could be used with that mechanic, as well as having a lackluster story atop it.

Cuba recovered from the devastation of war to become a well-off country, with the third largest middle class in the hemisphere.
Apartment buildings to accommodate the new middle class, and mansions for the well to do, were built at a fast pace.
Numerous luxury hotels, casinos and nightclubs were constructed during the 1930s to serve Havana's burgeoning tourist industry, which greatly benefited by the U.S. prohibition on alcohol from 1920 to 1933.
In the 1930s, organized crime characters were not unaware of Havana's nightclub and casino life, and they made their inroads in the city.
Santo Trafficante Jr. took the roulette wheel at the Sans Souci Casino, Meyer Lansky directed the Hotel Habana Riviera, with Lucky Luciano at the Hotel Nacional Casino.
At the time, Havana became an exotic capital of appeal and numerous activities ranging from marinas, grand prix car racing, musical shows, and parks.
Jules R. Benjamin suggests that Cuba's corrupt politics were a product of the colonial heritage of Cuban politics and the financial aid provided by the United States that favoured international sugar prices in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Following the Second World War, the level of corruption in Cuba, among many other Latin American and Caribbean countries, was said to have risen significantly.
Some scholars, such as Eduardo Sáenz Rovner, attribute this to North America's increased involvement in Cuba after the First World War as it isolated Cuban workers.
Cubans were excluded from a large sector of the economy and unable to participate in managerial roles that were taken over by United States employers.
Transparency International's 2017 Corruption Perception Index (CPI) gave Cuba a score of 47/100, where 0 indicates that a country is very corrupt and 100 indicates that it is very clean.
Cuba ranks 62nd out of 180 countries in terms of corruption perception, which is an increase of 2 places since last years' CPI score in 2016.
Havana achieved the title of being the Latin American city with the biggest middle class population per capita, simultaneously accompanied by gambling and corruption where gangsters and stars were known to mix socially.
During this era, Havana was generally producing more revenue than Las Vegas, Nevada, whose boom as a tourist destination began only after Havana's casinos closed in 1959.
To welcome Luciano back from exile and acknowledge his continued authority within the mob, all the conference invitees brought Luciano cash envelopes.
The official cover story for the Havana Conference was that the mobsters were attending a gala party with Frank Sinatra as the entertainment.
Charlie and Rocco Fischetti delivered a suitcase containing $2 million to Luciano, his share of the U.S. rackets he still controlled.
Boss Vito Genovese had returned to New York from exile in Italy and was not content with assuming a minor role in the organization.
Delegates were present representing New York City, New Jersey, Buffalo, Chicago, New Orleans and Florida, with the largest delegation of bosses from the New York-New Jersey area.
According to conference rules, the Jewish delegates could not vote on Cosa Nostra rules or policies; however, the Jewish crime bosses were allowed input on any joint business ventures, such as the Flamingo Hotel.
Now Luciano could easily have declared himself as Maranzano's heir in 1932; instead, Luciano decided to exercise control behind the scenes.
Officially, Genovese was now just a caporegime; however, he had made it clear that he intended to take control of the Luciano crime family.
Luciano also realized that Genovese threatened his overall authority and influence within the American mafia, probably with support from other crime bosses.
To further embarrass Genovese, Luciano encouraged Anastasia and Genovese to settle their differences and shake hands in front of the other bosses.
With Luciano solidifying his personal position and squashing Genovese's ambition for now, Luciano brought up discussion of the mob's narcotics operations in the United States.
One of the key topics at the Havana Conference, was the global narcotics trade and the mob's operations in the United States.
The anti-drug faction believed that the Cosa Nostra did not need narcotics profits, that narcotics brought unwanted law enforcement and media attention, and that the general public considered it to be a very harmful activity (unlike gambling).
Furthermore, if the Cosa Nostra ignored the drug trade, other criminal organizations would jump in and eventually diminish the Cosa Nostra's power and influence.
After arriving in Cuba from North Africa, the mob would ship the narcotics to US ports that it controlled, primarily New York City, New Orleans, and Tampa.
The narcotics shipped to the New York docks would be overseen by the Luciano crime family (later the Genovese) and the Mangano crime family (later the Gambino).
The Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne, was not only engaged in formalizing the architectural principles of the Modern Movement, but also saw architecture as an economic and political tool that could be used to improve and shape the world through the design of buildings and through urban planning as in the Plan Piloto.
The rejection of Le Corbusier's competition entry for the Palace of the Soviets, a watershed moment and an indication that the Soviets had abandoned CIAM's principles, changed those plans, and instead it was held onboard the ship the , which sailed from Marseille to Athens.
Based on an analysis of thirty-three cities, CIAM proposed that the social problems faced by the inhabitants of cities could be resolved by strict, functional segregation, and the distribution of the population into tall apartment blocks at widely spaced intervals.
The city planning ideas were adopted in the rebuilding of Europe following World War II, although by then some CIAM members had their doubts.
When implemented in the postwar period, many of these ideas were compromised by tight financial constraints, poor understanding of the concepts, or popular resistance.
The Charter got its name from location of the fourth CIAM conference in 1933, which, due to the deteriorating political situation in Russia, took place on the S.S. Patris bound for Athens from Marseilles.
CIAM demanded that housing districts should occupy the best sites, and a minimum amount of solar exposure should be required in all dwellings.
For hygienic reasons, buildings should not be built along transportation routes, and modern techniques should be used to construct high apartment building spaces widely apart, to free the soil for large green parks.
Additionally they said it was important to reduce commuting times by locating industrial zones close to residential ones and buffering them with wide parks and sports areas.
Finally, with regards to conservation, historic monuments should be kept only when they were of true value and their conservation did not reduce their inhabitants to unhealthy living conditions.
Despite its title, the Athens Charter cannot be considered as the mutual outcome of the CIAM conference, which took place ten years earlier, but largely as an expression of Le Courbusier's individual concerns.
Although Le Corbusier had exhibited his ideas for the ideal city, the Ville Contemporaine in the 1920s, during the early 1930s, after contact with international planners he began work on the Ville Radieuse (Radiant City).
In 1930 he had become an active member of the syndicalist movement and proposed the Ville Radieuse as a blueprint of social reform.
Unlike the radial design of the Ville Contemporaine, the Ville Radieuse was a linear city based upon the abstract shape of the human body with head, spine, arms and legs.
Le Corbusier exhibited the first representations of his ideas at the third CIAM meeting in Brussels in 1930 and published a book of the same title as the city in 1935.
At a meeting in Zürich in 1931, CIAM members Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, Siegfried Giedion, Rudolf Steiger and Werner M. Moser discussed with Cornelis van Eesteren the importance of solar orientation in governing the directional positioning of low-cost housing on a given site.
Van Eesteren had been chief architect of Amsterdam's Urban Development Section since 1929 and the group asked him to prepare a number of analytical studies of cities for the next main CIAM meeting planned to be in Moscow in 1933.
The theme for these studies would be the Functional City, that is, one where land planning would be based upon function-based zones.
Van Eesteren employed the city planner Theodor Karel van Lohuizen to use methods developed for the Amsterdam Expansion Plan, to prepare zoning plans that would predict overall future development in the city.
He relied upon the more rational methods being promoted by CIAM at that time which sought to use statistical information for designing zone uses rather than designing them in any detail.
In the late 1920s Le Corbusier lost confidence in big business to realise his dreams of utopia represented in the Ville Contemporaine and Plan Voisin (1925).
He exhibited the first representations of his ideas at the third CIAM meeting in Brussels in 1930 (although he withdrew the Moscow proposals).
Discussions at the fourth CIAM meeting on board the SS Patris bound for Athens were incorporated into Corbusier's book, The Radiant City (published in 1933).
Although he was not officially invited to submit proposals for the city, he knew the mayor was interested so he tried his luck.
It comprised four main elements: an administration area by the water in two slab blocks, convex and concave apartment blocks for the middle classes up on the slopes above the city, an elevated roadway on a north-south axis above the casbah and a meandering viaduct with a road on top meandering down the coast.
On his 1935 trip to the United States, Corbusier criticised the skyscrapers of Manhattan for being too small and too close together.
Even as late as the 1940s he was trying to court both Mussolini and the Vichy government to adopt his ideal city plans.
When designing the layout for Brasilia, architects Lúcio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer were influenced by the plans for the Ville Radieuse.
The first at a scale of 1:10000 showed land use and density, the second showed transportation networks and the third, at 1:50000 showed the regional setting of the city.
Based upon his presentation it was decided that the separate national groups within CIAM would prepare similar presentation boards for the Moscow meeting.
In 1932 Le Corbusier's Palace of the Soviets competition entry failed to gain acceptance from the jury and, due to the political conditions in Russia, CIAM's agenda became increasingly ignored.
Josep Lluís Sert, co-founder of GATEPAC and GATCPAC (in Saragoza and Barcelona, respectively) in 1930, as well as ADLAN (Friends of New Art) in Barcelona in 1932, participated in the congresses as of 1929, and served as CIAM president from 1947 to 1956.
GATEPAC (Grupo de Artistas y Técnicos Españoles Para la Arquitectura Contemporánea) was a group of architects assembled during the Second Spanish Republic.
Its most important members were: Josep Lluís Sert, Antoni Bonet Castellana, Josep Torres Clavé, José Manuel Aizpurúa, Fernando García Mercadal and Sixte Illescas.
The Eastern (Catalan) and founding section of the group, called GATCPAC (Grup d'Arquitectes i Tècnics Catalans per al Progrés de l'Arquitectura Contemporània) was much more successful than the Central or Northern sections, and carried out government contracts during the Second Republic.
With the Plan Piloto José Luis Sert focused on two elements: (a) the division of the city into various sectors, and (b) the intallation of a classified road system.
This determination of sectors and roads was based on two prerequisites: on the fixing of limits of the greater metropolitan area and the analysis of land use within these limits.
Concurrently, with the definition of the city limits, the Oficina del Plan Regulador de la Habana (OPRH) compiled an existing land-use map of the metropolitan area.
Also, collaborating on this project were Nicolás Arroyo, Minister of Public Works of the Batista government, and the architects Gabriela Menéndez and Mario Romañach, among others.
The Junta Nacional de Planificacion de Cuba (JNP) and its consultants were agents of Batista’s administration; the plan for the proposed East Havana or the policy for the Malecón ensured continued economic pressure for urban development and speculation with which the JNP would regulate.
The economic atmosphere of the Batista government was permissive as was the social atmosphere; real-estate speculation was promoted and encouraged with investors adding new hotels, casinos, condominiums, and department stores to the city’s fabric.
It was in this context that the provision of land for construction were a pressing financial motive for Batista’s administration; Batista's government depended on an increasing flow of extraneous capital into the country.
The architects of the JNP were cognizant this overwhelming sway of economic growth, Wiener apparently spent some spare hours in Havana evaluating prospective building sites for the New York developer Paul Tishman.
The work of the JNP framed its sights within a political environment, directing technicians to mediate between state and city rather than local or foreign investors, businessmen, or the public who were their beneficiaries.
The Plan Piloto was both an instrument of complicity, insofar as it would have accommodated and even assisted the unmitigated financial speculations in that it would have defined and guided much of the physical outcome of that speculation in advance.
The aim of the Plan was to contain the different efforts of the various historical periods within the city through a planning conceptual order.
A further dual carriageway was to cut through the center on an east-west axis along Calle Muralla, and alternate streets on the city grid in both directions were to be widened.
The remaining blocks were to be hollowed out in order to improve automobile access and parking, demolition would have been required to accommodate the widening of other streets.
The Pilot Plan would have resulted in the division of the old city into four quarters separated by major traffic lanes, widespread demolition of historic buildings and with the character of remaining city blocks being fundamentally altered.
They were aware that their proposal required considerable renovation of existing legal structures because the area they defined as metropolitan Havana was in fact composed of different independent municipalities.
These, Sert suggested, could establish a joint authority that would enact measures to limit the location and design of repartos according to the principles proposed by the JNP and Town Planning Associates.

The color codes marked the residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational uses throughout the city thus producing a tapestry that highlighted how certain functions, clustered in large blocks, or urban corridors, or isolated within other functions, legislation and design could be oriented toward segregating certain functions, such as the industrial uses; and juxtaposing others, such as the residential and the recreational uses.
Mario Romañachcollaborated on the Plan Piloto under the auspices of the Minister of Public Works, and the National Planning Board of Cuba between 1955 and 1958, in the development of the Plan Piloto for Havana.
The Town Planning Associates, a consulting firm from New York City, led by the Catalan architect [[Josep Lluís Sert]], and its partners [[Paul Lester Wiener]] and Paul Schulz, was hired by the Minister of Public Works with the intention of guiding the development of the continuous growth of the city of Havana during the next decade.
The Cuban government owned the site the future presidential palace was going to be, it was a large piece of land between two fortresses, El Castillo del Morro and La Cabaña; thus, the proposed site had a prominent topography, did not require expropriation, and had historic relevance.
Competitors included Wells Coates, Franco Albini, and the firm of Welton Beckett and Associates, [[Le Corbusier]] and [[Oscar Niemeyer]] would also be invited.
[[Mario Romañach]] indicated to Wiener his desire to work on the project and, along with Town Planning Associates, was added to the list.
Soon after the initial announcement, the idea of a competition was abandoned, Town Planning Associates was given the commission outright as well as to Mario Romañach and Gabriela Menéndez.
Several people have noted that the future location of the palace on the undeveloped east side of the bay in conjunction with the construction of new tunnel would encourage development of Havana toward the east, maintaining Habana Vieja as a vital center and discourage westward expansion.
With the commission for the presidential palace secured, Sert and Romañach become the primary designers of the project, [[Félix Candela]]was to be the structural engineer and [[Hideo Sasaki]] the landscape architect.
Sert and Romañach commenced their design the following year developing the project between the fall of 1956 and the summer of 1957 after initial plans and a model were exhibited for Batista and his cabinet in the Salón de los Espejos of the [[Museum of the Revolution (Cuba)|existing presidential palace]].
The Plan Piloto then included the project by Romañach, Gabriela Menéndez, Mercedes Diaz and [[Josep Lluís Sert]] for the new [[Museum of the Revolution (Cuba)|Presidential Palace]] which would have been located near the Castle of San Carlos de [[La Cabaña]] and the [[Morro Castle (Havana)|Castle of the Three Kings of El Morro]].
The designers of the Pilot Plan contemplated the construction of a monumental Presidential Palace, conceived as a large civic complex with a yacht dock with private access to the bay.
The presidential palace was the center of this ambitious project with several ministries, two large civic plazas, a Marti park, an oceanography museum and an aquarium.
The Palacio de las Palmas (Palace of the Palms) accommodated in its program the executive branch of the Batista government, including the offices of the ministry, facilities for the press, reception halls, and the private residence for Batista and his family.
The patio of the Palacio de las Palmas was recognized by Sert as a feature of several historical structures in Havana including the [[Palacio de Aldama]], the [[Palacio de los Capitanes Generales]], and the existing [[Museum of the Revolution (Cuba)|presidential palace]].
Jean Labatut of [[Princeton University]] provided a sketch from East Havana of an early proposal for the [[Havana Tunnel|tunnel]] entrance under Havana harbor showing the skyline including the dome of the [[El Capitolio|Capitolio Nacional]].
The idea of building an artificial island in front of the [[Malecón, Havana|Malecon]] in Havana first appeared in the Plan Piloto of 1956, it's aim was to make Havana the most modern city in the Americas particularly in giving it greater character of a capital city and tourist center, and increase tourist attraction and thus sources of income.
The Plan sought to strengthen future tourist development planned not only for Havana, but for Varadero, Cojímar and the [[Isla de la Juventud|Isle of Pines]].
[[Meyer Lansky]] and [[Santo Trafficante Jr.|Santo Trafficante]] came to invest in Cuba with the [[Hotel Habana Riviera|Havana Riviera]] and Capri hotels, respectively, as part of a strategy to turn Havana into a [[Las Vegas]] in the Caribbean.

Aluminium-based nanogalvanic alloys refer to a class of nanostructured metal powders that spontaneously and rapidly produce hydrogen gas upon contact with water or any liquid containing water as a result of their galvanic metal microstructure.
It serves as a method of hydrogen production that can take place at a rapid pace at room temperature without the assistance of chemicals, catalysts, or externally supplied power.
Aluminium-based nanogalvanic alloys are characterized by their galvanic microstructure, which comprises of an anodic matrix consisting of aluminum, an aluminum alloy, and a cathodic dispersed phase of another metal composition.
These alloys produce hydrogen gas when the cathodic disperse phase forms galvanic couples with the anodic matrix and the resulting galvanic metal microstructure comes in contact with water or any liquid containing water.
The nanostructured galvanic couple, with aluminium as the anode and the other metal element as the cathode, rapidly disturbs the formation of the native oxide layer and continually exposes fresh aluminium surfaces to hydrolysis.
The size of the particles that make up the cathodic disperse phase can range from less than 50 nanometers in length to less than 1000 nanometers in length.
of hydrogen gas per gram of aluminium in less than 1 minute and 1340 ml—100% of the theoretical yield at 295 K and 1 atm.—in 3 minutes without the need for hazardous or costly materials, or additional processes.
Aluminium-based nanogalvanic alloys can be manufactured by means of high energy ball milling at room temperature or at lower temperatures and remain stable at standard temperature, pressure, and humidity levels.
In 2017, ARL researchers discovered that the hydrogen generation rate increases by almost two-fold when the aluminium-based nanogalvanic alloy powder comes in contact with urine, when compared with pure water.
Aluminium-based nanogalvanic alloys were discovered by researchers of the Metals Branch of ARL’s Weapons and Materials Research Directorate (WMRD) of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) in the early 2010s during testing of a new nanostructured aluminium alloy intended for structural materials applications.
During metallographic polishing for microhardness experiments, they noticed that the aluminium was disappearing upon contact with water and soon realized that it was creating hydrogen gas in the process.
In 2019, the hydrogen fuel company H2 Power, LLC was the first to receive an exclusive license to use the aluminium-based nanogalvanic alloys to investigate automotive and transportation power generation applications for cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other vehicles.
As of 2019, ARL researchers are looking for ways to improve the production and manufacturing process of the aluminium-based nanogalvanic alloys.

West was a member of the classics faculty at the University of Dallas from 1975 to 2011, including a stint as department chair from 1997 to 2006.
Ocean Medical Center (OMC) is a 318-bed non-profit, short-term acute care teaching hospital located in Brick Township, Ocean County, New Jersey, providing tertiary and healthcare needs for the northern Jersey Shore and Central Jersey.
OMC is a hospital of the Hackensack Meridian Health Health System and is affiliated with the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School of Rutgers University.
Pediatric patients are under care of doctors from K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital, and high risk pediatric cases are transferred to the hospital.
Ocean Medical Center began as Point Pleasant Hospital in 1918 as a four room facility in the Point Pleasant Beach home of Dr. Frank Denniston, and by the late 1920s had expanded to 16-bed building.
In 1987, the Northern Ocean Hospital System changed its name to Medical Center of Ocean County, comprising Point Pleasant Hospital and Brick Hospital.
The Brick Township and Point Pleasant facilities merged with the Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune and Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank on January 1, 1997 into Meridian Health.
In 2013, it began an $82 million expansion project to substantially increase the capacity of its emergency room facilities and add additional basement and third floor space, funded in part by the family of Jirair Hovnanian, and completed in March, 2014.
In 2019, the institution started new construction on a new heart and vascular center and will combine heart and vascular services on one floor.
The hospital provides many services to patients including Bariatric Surgery, Cancer Care, Critical Care, a CyberKnife Center, The da Vinci Surgical System, a Dialysis Center, Emergency Department, Incontinence Center, Laboratory Services, Laparoscopic Gastric Banding (LAP-Band), Maternity, Orthopedics, Palliative Care, Pediatrics, Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation Services, Same Day Surgery, Sleep Medicine, Surgical Services, Thoracic Surgery, Urologic Surgery, and Vascular Surgery.

Melodi Grand Prix 2020 is the 58th edition of the Norwegian music competition Melodi Grand Prix (MGP), the national final for the international Eurovision Song Contest.
The competition is organized by NRK in January and February 2020, and a total of 25 songs will participate - the highest number in the history of the competition.
As 60 years have passed since Norway debuted in Eurovision Song Contest, the contest will be expanded with five semi-finals, which will be held from 11 January and the following four Saturdays.
One winner from each semi-finals gets send to the final February 15, 2020, where they meet five pre-qualified finalists selected by the broadcaster.
This is the first time Trondheim is hosting a Melodi Grand Prix final, and it is the first time since Melodi Grand Prix 1989 that the final is not arranged in Oslo.
Registration for Melodi Grand Prix 2020 opened on 2 March 2019, with a deadline of 31 July of the same year.
There must be at least one Norwegian songwriter on each contribution submitted, and each songwriter could submit a maximum of three contributions.
A total of 25 songs participate in the competition - 20 songs scattered in the five semi-finals and five selected songs that are directly qualified for the final.
Each region will have its own semi-final where artists and songwriters from that region will compete for a place in the final on 15 February.
This is the third time a Melodi Grand Prix finale has been held outside Oslo, and for the first time since 1989.
Kåre Magnus Bergh will be hosting for the sixth time, while Ingrid Gjessing Linhave and Ronny Brede Aase will host the show for the first time.
The television viewers will vote for one finalist from each semi-final, while a jury led by the Norwegian ESC head of delegation and supervisor , selected the last five finalists.
In total, there will be ten participants in the final on 15 February, and the Norwegian television viewers will announce the winner.

These seats are used in vehicles that operate in high exposure environments, such as high-speed watercraft, military platforms, construction, forestry and agricultural vehicles, and industrial trucks (such as fork lifts).
A vehicle’s collisions with waves or rough terrain are a source of whole body vibration that may cause discomfort, acute injuries, and chronic pain among operators.
Shock-mitigating suspension seats are related to the blast seats used to protect personnel from IEDs in armored vehicles and the crash seats used in military helicopters.
Unlike these other seats, however, shock-mitigating suspension seats must be designed to survive and retain their functionality for many thousands of impacts.
The prevalence of their use in the marine industry, where the seats are exposed to the elements including extreme temperature ranges and the presence of sea-water, is another distinguishing feature that guides the design of shock-mitigating suspension seats.
In its simplest form, a shock-mitigating suspension seat consists of a seating surface attached to a vertically mounted suspension unit supported by an accompanying structural frame.
The primary function of the cushion is to provide comfort, and this is achieved by spreading the pressure distribution across the occupant's body, reducing concentrations of pressure.
Motion is attenuated and impact energy is dissipated as heat in a damping chamber that is coupled with the spring mechanism.
Though it is the most common configuration, the axis of travel of the shock-absorber need not be parallel to the axis of travel of the seat surface, and it need not be fixed over the course of its stroke.
In such cases the transfer of forces from the deck to the seat is achieved through one or more linkage members.
The suspension module may be of custom design or adapted from the shock-absorbing isolators used in off-road vehicles, trucks, or mountain bikes.
Pioneering work on seat assessment was conducted by the ejection seating industry (see the article on ejector seats and the references therein).
The general approach of these standards is that vehicles are classed by relevant characteristics such as general type, size/mass, and drive system (tracked, wheeled), and an example motion representative of each class is specified.
Seats may be tested against one or more classes and are required to demonstrate that they can usefully reduce the vibration exposure with different weights of seat occupant.
There are significant challenges to measuring marine seats at sea, including variable weather conditions, boat availability, operating costs, and personnel safety.
Standards for assessing marine seats in representative laboratory conditions, similar to the approach used for the agricultural, industrial truck and heavy plan sectors, are starting to emerge, driven by requirements from major fleet operators.
The UK’s Ministry of Defense has engaged in comprehensive seat performance measurement, and the first performance standardized test method for marine seating was published by the US Navy following collaborative work from fleet operators in the US, UK, and Canada.
Assessing seat performance in terms of simple peak accelerations is not viable without accounting for the likely effects of the frequency content, amplitude, duration, and other aspects of the motion on the human body.
Most suspension seat performance assessment methods use either the human response to vibration assessment methods set out in ISO 2631-1, although the US Navy marine seat standard effectively uses the DRI (with only a slight modification to the natural frequency of the single-degree-of-freedom model) developed for assessment of blast or ejection seats.
Mechanical shock (whole-body vibration) exposure has been recognized as a health hazard, and in its 2002 vibration directive 2002/44/EC the European Union set strict exposure limits in an effort to protect its workforce.
The directive applies to all member nations and defines daily weighted exposure limits (normalized to 8 hours) using the methods defined in ISO 2631-1.
The UK transposed the vibration directive into its own national legislation with the Control of Vibrations at Work Regulations and the Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessel Control of Vibrations at Work regulations.
Both of these regulations define the same exposure limits and have since been applied in major procurements for shock-mitigation in the Royal Navy's fleet.
The goals is to mature and demontraste the technologies which are necessary to build and operate a reusable launch vehicle, but also to better assess the operational cost of such a vehicle.
It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador.
Before the Holy See and United Arab Emirates established diplomatic relations, the Holy See represented its interests in United Arab Emirates through delegations with regional responsibilities, first the Apostolic Delegation to the Red Sea Region established by Pope Paul VI on 3 July 1969 and then the Apostolic Delegation to the Arabian Peninsula established by Pope John Paul II on 26 March 1992.

Since December 2013, Franceschi has been living in exile in the United States after the Maduro government threatened to arrest him.
When winning the expulsion processes of the communists of power Franceschi finally left his political activity at the end of the 1980s when he abandoned all political activity and his Trotskyist ideology with which he entered into open contradiction, and is dedicated to the private family business in transportation heavy and simultaneously to agriculture and breeding.
In 1996, he temporarily separated from his private activity to return to political activity, but this time under a markedly different ideological sign, rather from the center-right, since he dedicated himself to building the political organization Project Venezuela throughout the country.
2 years later in 1998, he was appointed campaign manager of the presidential candidate of the former governor of the Carabobo state, Henrique Salas Römer, belonging to the Project Venezuela party.
Because of his extreme political positions against the government in office, Franceschi has been required and prosecuted, which led him to exile from December 2013 in the United States.
He is currently a columnist in several digital newspapers and develops a great activity in social networks since his exile in the United States, particularly on Twitter, Facebook, Periscope, radios, Zello and YouTube.
Franceschi has declared himself a supporter of Vox, a Spanish conservative party with which he has maintained contacts with some of its leaders.
The first design produced was the Y flyer, which Hinterhoeller built in his spare time while building power boats at Shepherd Boats in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
The company went on to build designs such as the Redwing 30, Invader 36, Douglas 31/32 and the Frigate 36 during the late 1960s.
Two years later, in 1977, he reformed his old company in a purpose-built facility in St Catharines, Ontario, on Lake Ontario.
The reformed company engaged yacht designers Mark Ellis for cruising boats like the Niagara 35 and the Nonsuch line and Germán Frers for racing boats like the Niagara 31.
For the smaller boat, George sat on his C&C 30 and made a list of the 10 items which would take an already great boat and make it better.
The Hinterhoeller trademarks expired in 1998 and George Hinterhoeller died from the complications from a stroke in the spring of 1999.

Aluminum based nanogalvanic alloys refer to a class of nanostructured metal powders that spontaneously and rapidly produce hydrogen gas upon contact with water or any liquid containing water.
This method of hydrogen generation is notable in the field of energy research due to its fast-acting capacity to efficiently create hydrogen at room temperature without the need for any chemicals, catalysts, or externally supplied power.
However, at the same time, water oxidizes the aluminum and causes a thin protective layer of aluminum oxide to rapidly form on the surface of the metal, preventing further hydrolysis.
In order for the aluminum to continuously produce hydrogen gas, scientists had to forcefully remove or at least fracture the aluminum oxide layer, typically dissolving it in water with the help of hazardous compounds such as hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, or expensive elements such as gallium/indium.
Other methods apply external energy in the form of an electric current or superheated steam to slowly force the reaction at elevated temperatures.
The aluminum based nanogalvanic alloy, a particulate material invented by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), is able to generate hydrogen by hydrolysis at room temperature with any liquid that contains water (e.g.
as the cathode, rapidly disturbs the formation of the native oxide layer and thus continually exposes fresh aluminum surfaces to hydrolysis.

As of 2019, ARL researchers are looking for ways to improve the production and manufacturing process of the aluminum based nanogalvanic alloys.
Aluminum based nanogalvanic alloys are characterized by the size of their galvanic microstructure and consist of particles with a mesh size of -325, which is equivalent to a diameter of around 50 microns.
Since the grain size of the powders is in the nanometer scale and the particle size is tens of microns similar to conventional powders, no additional health hazards are associated with the handling of the nanogalvanic powders.
of hydrogen gas per gram of aluminum in less than 1 minute and 1340 ml—100% of the theoretical yield at 295 K and 1 atm.—in 3 minutes without the need for hazardous or costly materials, or additional processes.
These nanogalvanic structured powders can be manufactured by means of high energy ball milling at room temperature or at lower temperatures.
The powders may be compacted in the form of tablets for ease of transportation, which would reduce reliance on high-pressure or liquid hydrogen cylinders traditionally used for shipment.
Due to their high energy efficiency, non-toxic nature, and transportation ease, the alloy powders have also been considered as an alternative energy source for batteries (when coupled with fuel cells) during reconnaissance for soldiers on the battlefield.
Additionally, the alloy powder may also be 3D-printed into self-cannibalizing drone components that could recharge the drone’s hydrogen supply by making contact with water whenever it runs low on power.
ARL researchers also discovered that the hydrogen generation rate increases by almost two-fold when the aluminum based nanogalvanic alloy powder comes in contact with urine, when compared with pure water.
Because of this unique property, scientists have considered applying the aluminum powder in austere environments where power and water are scarce, such as deserts or space, where urine could be repurposed as a fuel source.

De Courcy Ireland had paramedical training from the St John Ambulance and the Red Cross, and in 1936 she volunteered as part of a medical team to go to Barcelona with the republican international brigades in the Spanish Civil War.
She was already known for her public speaking throughout the north of England, so upon her return her addressed a number of public meetings about the Spanish Civil War.
The couple moved to Ireland in 1938, when John was commissioned to write a book about the Northern Irish border (a commission that was cancelled after the outbreak of World War II).
Due to John's activities with trade union opposition to British and American naval construction on Lough Foyle as a member of the Irish Local Security Force, he was dismissed and the couple moved to Dublin when he took up a position as a history teacher at the St Patrick's Cathedral Grammar School.
The couple joined the Unitarian Church, St Stephen's Green, Dublin in 1953, and continued to be active supporters of the Red Cross.
She took part in the first two marches of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) at Aldermaston, Berkshire in 1958 to 1959, and founded the Irish branch of CND, serving as its secretary.
The Irish CND erected a plaque to her in People's Park, Dún Laoghaire in 2002 in honour of her and John.
The 2020 World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series is the inaugural season of the second-tier global circuit for rugby sevens that has promotion and relegation with the World Rugby Sevens Series first-tier circuit.
The first two events are played in South America before the third and final event is hosted as part of the Hong Kong Sevens tournament, featuring only the top 8 teams in the standings.
The final leg in Hong Kong has a playoff format, with the winner gaining promotion to the World Rugby Sevens Series for the 2020–21 season.
The divider between positions 8 and 9 represents the threshold at which teams need to be above to qualify for the Hong Kong Sevens event.
The World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series is an international rugby sevens tournament created in late 2019 and run by World Rugby.
It acts as a second-tier competition below the World Rugby Sevens Series, with the winner of each season being promoted to the Sevens Series, and the lowest-placed team in the Sevens Series being relegated to the Challenger Series.
The Challenger Series was launched in late 2019, and will take place in February 2020, ending at the Hong Kong Sevens in April.
Two events in South America (Chile, Uruguay) and a final play-off style event alongside the Hong Kong Sevens, which will consist of only the eight highest placed-teams from the previous two events.

On January 5, 2020, former governor of Rhode Island Lincoln Chafee filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission in order to compete in the 2020 United States presidential election as a Libertarian.
In 2002, he was the only Republican Senator to vote against the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002.
Opting against a potentially troubled run for re-election as governor, Chafee instead unsuccessfully campaigned for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2015.
During his candidacy, Chafee criticized Hillary Clinton for her public support of the 2003 invasion of Iraq and her use of a private email server, but he became better known for his outwardly positive demeanor as well his unique support for converting the country to the metric system.
With troublingly low polling and fundraising numbers, as well as a poor performance at the first Democratic primary debate, Chafee withdrew from the race in October 2015.
In 2019, following his move to the state of Wyoming, Lincoln Chafee registered as a member of the Libertarian Party, which he announced through an op-ed.
His announcement prompted speculation from several Libertarian Party insiders and activists that the former governor was considering a run for the party's presidential nomination in 2020.
While individuals such as former New York gubernatorial candidate Larry Sharpe and national party chair Nicholas Sarwark were supportive of this prospect, others including the Rhode Island state chair Pat Ford were more skeptical due to Chafee's historical positions on gun control issues, among other things.
On January 5, 2020, Chafee filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to form a candidate committee for the 2020 United States presidential election.

Contrail's dam Rhodochrosite was bred in Kentucky but exported to Japan after being sold for $385,000 at the Keeneland Associaton Yearling Sale in September 2011.
Her dam Folklore was a top-class performer in the United States, winning the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies in 2005 and was a female-line descendant of the broodmare Stolen Base (foaled 1967), making her a distant relative of Smarty Jones.
Contrail made his racecourse debut in a contest for previously unraced juveniles over 1800 metres at Hanshin Racecourse on 15 September and won from the filly Frevo and seven others.
On 16 November the colt was stepped up in class for the Grade 3 Tokyo Sports Hai Nisai Stakes over 1800 metres at Tokyo Racecourse in which he was ridden by Ryan Moore and started the 1.5/1 favourite in an eight-runner field.
After racing in fifth place he moved forward on the outside approaching the final turn, took the lead 400 metres from the finish and drew away to win by five lengths from Al Jannah.
Contrail was moved up to the highest class and started favourite for the Hopeful Stakes over 2000 metres at Nakayama Racecourse on 28 December when he was ridden by Yuichi Fukunaga.
His twelve opponents included Wakea (winner of the Ivy Stakes), Weltreisende (Hagi Stakes), Authority (Fuyo Stakes) and Black Hole (Sapporo Nisai Stakes).
He does tend to be a little keen but the training staff had conditioned him to be in a good motivated mood so it worked well in the race.
In January 2020, at the JRA Awards for 2019, Contrail was named Best Two-Year-Old Colt, beating Salios by 197 votes to 77.

The edge of the thallus is two cells thick, and in the growth zone, the cells divide several times to form a thickened area with an upper cortex with about five rows of cells, a central parenchyma composed of long, thick-walled cells, and a lower cortex, with one or two rows of cells from which the rhizoids emerge.
Emily Hale (October 27, 1891 – October 12, 1969), was an American speech and drama teacher, who was the longtime muse and confidante of the poet T. S. Eliot.
Exactly 1,131 letters from Eliot to Hale were deposited in Princeton University Library in 1956 and were among the best-known sealed archives in the world for many years.
The couple lived in Boston but spent their summers from 1930 to 1939 in Chipping Campden, England, with Hale also attending.
She graduated from Miss Porter's School, and she was a speech and drama teacher at various women's colleges from 1916 onwards, including Simmons University (then College) (1916–1921), Milwaukee-Downer College (1921–1928) (now part of Lawrence University), Scripps College (1932–1934), and Smith College (1936–1942), as well as the all-girls Concord Academy and Abbot Academy preparatory schools at the end of her teaching career.
Hale was an active member of the Unitarian Church and also the League of Women Voters, and she was a volunteer on the Sophia Smith Collection.
According to a note by Eliot on their relationship, written in 1960, he met and fell in love with Hale in 1912 as a graduate student studying philosophy at Harvard, and declared his love for her shortly before leaving for Europe in 1914; biographers have recorded that Eliot left that meeting with the impression that Hale did have similar feelings.
Eliot visited Hale in California over the New Year's holidays in 1932-33, then decided to seek a formal separation from his wife when he returned to England in 1933.
Hale and Eliot spent the summers from 1935 to 1939 together in Campden, Gloucestershire, as the guests of her aunt and uncle, the Perkinses.
While Hale never openly regarded herself as Eliot's muse, it is known she identified herself in various other Eliot poems, when teaching her students at various colleges.
The war intervened, and Hale and Eliot would not meet again until 1946, by which time Eliot was 58 and Hale was 55; however, after the death of Vivienne in 1947, Eliot arranged a meeting with Hale at which he told her he no longer could marry her.
Hale had anticipated that they would live together when Vivienne died and was shocked and sad when she learned Eliot had decided not to marry her.
Eliot's relationship with Hale was said by some biographers to provide Eliot with a model of a silent, ethereal woman and chaste love that could be indefinitely sustained.
Hale's own feelings for Eliot are largely unknown, partly because Eliot burned all of her letters after he married his much younger secretary Esmé Valerie Fletcher, in 1957.
From 1942 she explored with Thorp the idea of keeping Eliot's letters in the Princeton University Library for safekeeping, finally deciding to do this in July 1956.
Hale specified that the letters should be kept closed for fifty full years after the latter of her or Eliot's death.
Hale died after Eliot, on 12 October 1969 in Concord, and therefore, the archive was only opened to scholars in January 2020, revealing 1,131 letters from Eliot to Hale dating from the period 1930 to 1956.
The letters include much information about the evolving relationship between Hale and Eliot, and, in some cases, contradicts some other published sources.
The letters can only be read in person at the library; a compilation of the letters is now being prepared, and its editor, John Haffenden, has said he anticipates it will be published in 2021.
In a surprise to scholars, Eliot's estate simultaneously issued a written statement by him to be opened on the release of Hale's letters.

The Canadian federal budget for fiscal year 1990–1991 was presented to the House of Commons of Canada by finance minister Michael Wilson on 20 February 1990.
The 1990 budget did not introduce major tax change as income taxes were reformed in prior years and the Goods and Service tax was scheduled for implementation on January 1, 1991.
The 1990 budget sets out a control plan for expenditures and was predicted to yield $2.8 billion in savings in fiscal year 1990-91 and $3.3 billion in fiscal year 1991-92.
Herb Gray, interim leader of the Official Opposition, rejected many features of the budget, notably the cuts to transfers to provinces and capping of research and science budget.
Paul Martin, Liberal MP and candidate to the leadership of the Liberal Party, also rejected the budget as a symbol of the Conservatives' mismanagement of the economy.
Audrey McLaughlin, leader of the New Democratic Party held that the budget would not help students or homeless people and decried the lack of environmental measures, despite prior ambitious declarations made by the Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and the Minister of Environment Lucien Bouchard.
The minister warns that the federal budget will likely lead tax increases for Quebec taxpayers to offset the downfall in revenues.

Beneath the Waves is a non-governmental, nonprofit organization set up to advance the conservation of sharks, their habitats, and broader ocean health.
Through its partnerships with other NGOs, universities, the private sector and the general public, the organization has researched sharks and their ecosystems.
As apex predators, sharks play an essential role in the functioning of the marine ecosystem by removing sick or weak animals and leaving food scraps, which consumed by scavengers.
The organization’s CEO, Dr. Austin Gallagher, believes that scientific data can provide a clearer picture of shark conservation needs, which can inform and improve the creation of marine protected areas.
Humans harvest and kill between 63 million to 273M sharks per year, mainly for their fins which are a delicacy and retain high socioeconomic values in the shark fin trade.
The crew operates in both Bahamian and U.S. waters, and their research covers Tiger Sharks, Hammerhead Sharks, Nurse Sharks, and Caribbean Reef Sharks.
It does this by catching sharks and tagging the creatures with acoustic transmitters which are fitted externally on the dorsal fin or implanted directly into the shark’s body cavity and sutured closed.
The scientists analyze the data using Statistical modeling to discern which ecosystem the shark’s prey originated from which in turn reveals which ecosystems are most important in supporting the shark biomass.
In 2017 Beneath the Waves partnered with the ocean conservation non-profit Oceana, the organization that developed the Global Fishing Watch online platform.
Oceana then imported into the information into their database; the results showed that sharks were frequently crossing paths with active fishing boats in the Nantucket Shoals.
Ocean conservationists hope that the results of the findings could be used by fishery managers to impose restrictions in areas where sensitive species are known to gather.

The haruwa–charuwa system is a forced-labour system based on debt bondage, prevalent in the agricultural sector of the eastern Terai region in Nepal.
Due to a lack of bargaining power, they are forced to accept outrageous interest rates, often compounded, which means that the debt can never be repaid via labour.
Such a debt-bonded haruwa–charuwa relationship lasts a life time and is usually inherited by the children of the indebted families as well.
A less egregious form of haruwa–charuwa practice involves families in extreme poverty working on a temporary or seasonal basis under unfair contracts.
While many charuwas are women and children of a haruwa's family, others are exclusively cattle herding labourers working under similar conditions as haruwas.
However, most haruwas are still found to exhaust their whole life in service of a single landlord once they enter such a relationship.
As they can not make any savings during their working age, most haruwa–charuwas find themselves in a precarious position when they grow old.
The only recourse for haruwa–charuwas who want to leave their masters is to seek loan from another landlord to repay the loan to their current master and enter into servitude of the new landlord.
In some communities, haruwa–charuwas enter the service of a landlord under an annual contract on a designated auspicious day, such as Shree Panchami.
They also receive a daily wage of a few kilos of grain on days they work for the landlords, however they are not allowed to seek employment elsewhere when the landlord doesn't need them.
There is a very high incidence of forced child labour, often unpaid, including children under the age of ten, among the haruwa–charuwa families, who are often also subjected to emotional and physical as well as sexual abuse.
Those children who do not have to work for the landlords are instead sent to work in industries or the service sectors in urban areas, chiefly brick kilns and restaurants.
A Freedom Fund survey estimated the number of bonded labourers under the haruwa–charuwa system nationwide at around 97,000 adults and 13,000 children.
A 2013 ILO report estimated a total of 69,738 haruwa–charuwa families in these seven districts, about 9% of the total households in these districts.
Among the seven districts, Dhanusha, Siraha and Saptari, which have a greater density of Dalit populations, have a greater prevalence rate.
According to James A. R. Nafziger, the haruwa–charuwa system falls under the category of forced/compulsory labour practices prohibited by the ILO's Forced Labour Convention of 1930.
Nepal has previously categorically abolished the kamaiya and haliya systems and freed thousands of bonded labourers, many of whom have begun to return to their former masters due to severe poverty and lack of alternative opportunities for livelihood.
By contrast, haruwa–charuwa labourers have never been specifically declared freed, although Nepali constitution and laws prohibit forced and bonded labour in general, with the Kamaiya Labour (Prohibitions) Act 2002 specifically having declared a ban on forced labour, including as haruwa–charuwas.
The interim constitution of 2007 stipulated a policy for upliftment of marginalised communities including haruwa–charuwas; however, it has not resulted in any concrete programmes.
In the annual budget for economic year 2011–12, the government had included provisions for education and employment of haruwa–charuwa communities and for providing loans at affordable rates for self-employment.
However, no programmes were launched to officially document and identify haruwa–charuwas and therefore, they could not benefit from any such programmes.
Haruwa–charuwas have not been able to benefit from similar such programmes of subsequent years that target the economically marginalised communities and freed forced labourers, for the same reason.
According to an ILO survey, a third of haruwa–charuwa families reside in places which are not their own homes, 37% are landless and an additional 40% near-landless.
Starting in 2008, the International Labour Organisation in partnership with the Government of Nepal, ran programmes to increase education and deter child labour among haruwa–charuwa communities, among others.
Thirty-six million dollars were allocated for the programme which included withdrawal of haruwa–charuwa children from child labour and enrollment into formal education or out-of-school Programmes (OSP), non-formal education (NFE) and pre-vocational training for older children as well as literacy training, vocational training and group-dynamics training for haruwa–charuwa adults.
The programme aimed at sustainable elimination of child labour and reintegration of families under forced-labour systems as free and economically independent members of the society.

During the 2010s, inmates linked with various cartels, including Los Zetas, the Gulf Cartel, and the Sinaloa Cartel, were added to the prison.
The prison became dangerous and failed several assessments due to the introduction of the cartel inmates, with the last assessment before the riots deeming it to have a lack of governance and an undermined security.
In 2009, the prison was the location of a high-profile escape that freed 53 inmates; a state official, speaking in 2019, said that steps had been taken to improve security after that event.
There was also a plan to cause a riot on New Year's Eve in 2018, to allow another escape, but this was uncovered and prevented.
Inmates used weapons including knives and guns; when the situation was calmed, these were found, including one gun on the person of an inmate.
It is reportedly not known how weapons entered the prison, but speculation from a state official suggested they could have been smuggled during visitation earlier the same day.
It is believed that the riot broke out due to fighting between different cartels, while local media reported that it was a dispute over a football game where old rivalries became inflamed again.
Some of the visitors told the press that they had been able to see dead and injured inmates from the riot.
After the first riot, the prison security announced that they were on alert for any reaction between the prisoners that may occur.
This riot was stopped more quickly; the prison's panic button had been immediately set off, with the state police and ambulance service alerted to the scene.
A state official said on 1 January that the deaths were variously caused by gunshot wounds, stab wounds, and being beaten.
On 1 January, state officials said they increased the security inside and around the prison, and 120 inmates were relocated to prevent more rioting.
After the second riot, the road from the town of Cieneguillas to the prison was closed, and access to the town from outside was also blocked.
The director of the prison, Antonio Solís, was fired on 3 January, with former brigadier general Ignacio López Flores being made director on 8 January.

Thanks to help from the businessman Anton Carry (1797–1860), who had been in charge of the art gallery in Hechingen since 1845, he then went to Augsburg between 1847 and 1854 to study under the painter and art-restorer Anton Deschler (1816–1881) and to attend the city's Kunstschule im Polytechnikum, which was based in the former Katharinenkloster, as was the new Staatsgalerie, founded in 1835.
Probably again through Carry's influence, Hauser met Constantine, who had been living in Silesian Löwenberg since ceding Hohenzollern-Hechingen to the Kingdom of Prussia after the German revolutions of 1848–49.
Hauser took over from Carry as curator of Constantine's collection of paintings, which moved from Hechingen to Löwenberg in the early 1850s, and was officially made curator and court-painter in 1855.
Hauser also continued to work as a painter on the open market via an art-dealer in Bamberg in Upper Franconia, who obtained much more lucrative commissions for him.
This persuaded him to move to Bamberg in 1861, where in a few years he gained a good reputation as a restorer and work on public collections such as the German National Museum in Nuremburg, founded in 1852.
He also carried out restoration for Bamberg's own Kunstinstitut from 1865 onwards as well as being appointed conservator of the city's paintings in 1869.
His growing reputation in the field led him to move again in 1875, this time to Munich, where he took over the Alte Pinakothek's conservation department.
Trainees in his conservation studio in Munich went on to work at other major European museums, including his own son Alois Hauser the Younger (1857–1919), who became head restorer at the Gemäldegalerie (Berlin) in 1887, and Otto Vermehren, later Head of Conservation at the Uffizi in Florence.

Tablescaping, or table-setting, is an activity involving the setting of themed dining tables in artful, decorative ways for social events, and in a variety of categories for competitions.
In the United States, competitions take place at county fairs, and events across the country; competitive tablescaping traces back to at least the 1930s.
Other criteria considered can include aesthetics, functionality, balance, and the corresponding fictional menu that would accompany the table’s meal; an entry can use a formal table setting, or be quite casual depending on the theme.
The practice has become better known since the rise in social media posts centered on meals people share including the setting; on photo-sharing Instagram, as of November 2019, #tabledecor has 1.9 million posts, and #tablesetting has 2.3 million posts.
A counterintuitive trend is for a rustic or farm theme, with a sustainability aesthetic emphasizing materials and components that are recycled, and upcycled.

The US military's 2020 Baghdad International Airport airstrike, which killed the high-level Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, brought strong reactions from around the world.
While being broadcast on Iran's Channel One, the eulogist at Soleimani's funeral procession addressed a crowd during processions at Mashhad and called for a bounty of US$ 80 million (roughly US$1 for every Iranian citizen) to be placed on Donald Trump.
On 7 January, Iran's parliament approved a €200 million increase in the Quds Force's budget, to be used in two months.
Outgoing Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi condemned the attack, calling it an assassination and stating that the strike was an act of aggression and a breach of Iraqi sovereignty which would lead to war in Iraq.
He said the strike violated the agreement on the presence of U.S. forces in Iraq and that safeguards for Iraq's security and sovereignty should be met with legislation.
The media office of the Iraqi military's joint operations forces posted a photo of a destroyed vehicle on fire after the attack.
On January 5 in reaction to the airstrikes the Iraqi parliament passed a bill calling for the expulsion of US troops from the country.
After the Iranian missile attack on U.S. forces in Iraq, Iran-backed Iraqi militia commander Qais Khazali said that Iran had made its initial response for the United States killing its top general, and it was now time for Iraq to give its initial response to the assassination of Popular Mobilization Forces's deputy commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.
President Trump tweeted pictures of the American flag shortly before the United States confirmed its responsibility for the attacks, at 3:00a.m.
Trump insisted he would not hesitate to destroy such targets even after some said it could be considered a war crime.
After the strike, Pompeo tweeted a video he said showed Iraqis celebrating Soleimani's death on the streets of Baghdad, although the video showed no more than 40 individuals among a crowd of thousands and the minor demonstration ended within two minutes.
When asked about the possible responses that Iran could take to this action, former Deputy Secretary of Defense Michael Mulroy said that the IRGC Quds Force has a worldwide reach and that targets would include American civilians, and that Iraq might decide to expel U.S. forces in their country.
Former Defense Secretary and CIA Director Leon Panetta warned that the U.S. is closer to war with Iran than at any time in the last 40 years.
In an article in the Middle East Institute, former Deputy Defense Secretary for the Middle East Michael Mulroy and retired Navy SEAL Eric Oehlerich state that the targeted killing of Qassem Soleimani was justified and long overdue because he was an enemy combatant who orchestrated a lethal campaign against U.S. military, diplomats and intelligence officers in Iraq.
However, they also made the point that the U.S. should of targeted Soleimani's subordinates to disrupt their operations and that covert authorities should've been considered for deniability and to potentially avoid an all-out regional war.
Senator Elizabeth Warren described the attack as wag the dog, an attempt by Trump to distract from the impeachment process through an act of war.
South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg said the Trump administration must plan for possible consequences before taking action, must ensure its action is supported by its allies, and must take only actions that will benefit U.S. national interests and stability in the region.
Representative Tulsi Gabbard called the airstrike an act of war by President Trump and a violation of the U.S. Constitution because the president does not have Congressional authorization for this act.
Sanders, along with Representative Ro Khanna, announced that they would be introducing legislation to prevent the use of Pentagon funding for military action in Iran without Congressional approval.
In June 2019, Kaine had introduced a resolution to require Congressional authorization before going to war with Iran, and on 3 January 2020 he introduced a similar resolution.
Kaine's counterpart, Mark Warner (D-VA) said it is not clear that the Trump administration has a clear plan to prevent another endless war in the Middle East.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio expressed strong concerns about potential retaliatory strikes, putting the police department on high alert, including the potential of bag checks at subway stations and vehicle checks at tunnels and bridges.
Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington, D.C. said she did not see any immediate threats, but she reminded citizens to report any suspicious activities.
Some members of the United States Congress, which generally was not consulted or briefed before the Soleimani strike, sought to restrict the president's ability to conduct future military operations against Iran without congressional consent.
On 6January 2020, House Speaker Pelosi announced plans to hold a vote within the week on limiting President Trump's war powers concerning Iran.
On 8January 2020, Pelosi announced that a vote will be held by the entire U.S. House of Representatives on 9January to limit President Trump's war powers concerning any future escalation of conflict with Iran.
The House Rules Committee cleared the way for a full House vote by approving parameters which set up a two-hour debate on 9January.
The House vote is considered significant, as the U.S. Constitution provides that while the president may use the military to defend the country, any declaration of war must be approved by Congress.
Anti-war rallies in more than 30 U.S. cities were set by Code Pink and the ANSWER Coalition for Saturday night, 4 January, asking the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
The hashtags #WorldWarIII and #WWIII had been trending on social media, along with concerns that the military draft might be reinstated.
Global oil prices rose moderately in reaction to Soleimani's death to heights not seen for a whole three months, before falling back Arms company stocks (Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon) also rose in the wake of the event.

On April 18, 1971, after the Estevan Bruins had been eliminated from the WHL playoffs, McLean boarded a single-engine airplane heading for Yorkton, Saskatchewan.
However, the transition to New Westminster was met with apprehension from the WCHL board who were against expansion to the West.
A few years after the relocation, the newly named New Westminster Bruins won four consecutive President's Cup titles from 1975 to 1978 and two Memorial Cup titles in 1977 and 1978.
After winning the 1977 Memorial Cup and another WHL Championship title, McLean was tapped to coach the Canada men's national junior ice hockey team at the 1978 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.
While McLean did not invite Gretzky to the initial junior tryout camp in 1977, he was eventually added to Canada's roster and led the tournament with eight goals and nine assists.
He was awarded the WHL's Governors Award in 2005, and was inducted into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame in 2006.
In August 2009, McLean went missing for four days and five nights without food or supplies after getting lost while prospecting for gold.

Unlike most other aluminium-copper alloys, 2218 is a high work-ability alloy, with relatively low for 2xxx series alloy yield strength of 255 MPa.
Despite being highly alloyed, it have a good corrosion and oxidation resistance due sacrificial anode formed by magnesium inclusions, similar to marine-grade 5xxx series alloys.
Although 2218 is wrought alloy, owing to granular structure it can be used in casting and been precisely machined after casting.
Good workability, thermal conductivity and dimensional stability make 2218 alloy a material of choice whenever high-precision parts subject to thermal shocks (especially piston engine cylinders and cylinder heads) are needed.
2218 alloy can be heat treated to increase tensile strength in expense of workability, with most common grades been F, T61, T71 and T72.

TOI 700 is a red dwarf 101.4 light-years away from Earth located in the Dorado constellation that hosts TOI 700 d, the first Earth-sized exoplanet in the habitable zone discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).
TOI 700 is a red dwarf of spectral class M that is 40% the mass, 40% the radius and 50% of the temperature of the Sun.
Three papers describe the validation of the planetary system, the follow-up observations of TOI 700 d with the Spitzer Space Telescope and the characterization of TOI 700 d.
The composition of planets b and d is more likely rocky and the composition of planet c is more likely similar to that of Neptune.
The two inner planets might have grown faster and accreted significant gaseous envelopes, but the outer planet formed more slowly and accreted less gas.
Planet c might have migrated inwards, but this scenario is more plausible if future studies show that planet c is significantly more massive than planet b or d.
It receives 35 times more EUV photons than Earth, but also 50 times less than TRAPPIST-1 e. The host star has low stellar activity.
The simulated spectral feature depths from transmission spectra and the peak flux and variations from synthesized phase curves do not exceed 10 ppm.
The race was typically scheduled for the end of February to the beginning of March (later June) for 4 or 5 days, with the drivers covering a total distance of between , depending on the year.
The rally consisted of special performance tests, pure navigation sections, and driving tests, with end-points in the cities of Paris and Saint-Raphaël.
The only other deaths during the event's history were Cathy Pitt, who was killed in 1969 in a head-on collision on a road section, and Marguerite Accarie who died during the 1970 event during the final special stage.
Two years earlier, as the only female competitor, she won the 1936 Olympic Rally in a Singer Le Mans 1500 in the only road-going motorized Olympic demonstration event (powerboating appearing in 1908) never accepted by the IOC.
In 1974 Belgian Christine Beckers won the last Paris - Saint-Raphaël of its 45 year history at the wheel of a Lancia Stratos.
A spiritual successor to the Rallye Paris - Saint-Raphaël Féminin appeared 26 years later with the first running of the Rallye des Princesses in the year 2000.

Naseem Hamed vs. Augie Sanchez was a professional boxing match contested between reigning WBO featherweight champion Naseem Hamed and Augie Sanchez.
WBO featherweight champion Naseem Hamed and 22-year old prospect Augie Sanchez agreed to meet one another in June 2000 for an August title fight.
After knocking out the reigning super bantamweight champion Vuyani Bungu in the fourth round earlier in the year, Hamed and his team began negotiations for Hamed's next title fight to be against a highly-rated fighter, with Érik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera being in the forefront.
Other names such as Johnny Tapia, Danny Romero and Freddie Norwood were also mentioned, but none were able to agree to a deal.
Sanchez had been a promising prospect, engaging in a rivalry in the amateurs with Floyd Mayweather Jr., having defeated him once in the 1996 pre-olympic trials before losing twice to Mayweather which cost him a shot to make 1996 US olympic boxing team.
After a uneventful first round, the action picked up in round 2 with Sanchez dropping Hamed with a right hand, though the referee bizarrely and controversially declared it a slip.
At the end of the round, Sanchez landed 2-punch combination that almost sent Hamed down again, but Hamed was able to regain his footing and the two ended the round trading punches until the bell rang.
The action continued early in the round 3 with Sanchez landing 2 right hands that bloodied Hamed's nose, though Hamed held onto the ropes to prevent regain his balance.
Later in the round Hamed landed a left hook that sent Sanchez to his knees, though the referee again incorrectly called that a slip as well.
As the round ended Hamed began to score numerous power punches on an exhausted Sanchez and opened up a gash over Sanchez's eye.
A minute into round 4, Hamed landed a left hand that again sent Sanchez stumbling into Hamed, as Sanchez hit the canvas, Hamed connected with a body shot, causing the referee to take away the potential knockdown and instead dock Hamed a point for the foul.
With around 40 seconds left in the round, Hamed landed a brutal 4-punch combination that floored Sanchez, the referee immediately called the fight and awarded Hamed the victory by technical knockout.
Initially the WBO had mandated that Hamed meet it's #1 contender in István Kovács, however HBO, which had exclusive rights to air Hamed's fights in the United States, was not satisfied with Hamed taking on a virtual unknown in Kovács and only guaranteed Hamed a third of his usual purse of $6 million.
It was the third time that Hamed had to relinquish one his titles outside the ring as earlier in 2000, the WBC stripped him after he declined to vacate his WBO version, and in 1997 the IBF stripped him as well.
Immediately after giving up his title, Hamed challenged reigning WBO super bantamweight champion Marco Antonio Barrera to match the following year.

Isleño Spanish (Spanish: ) is a dialect of the Spanish language spoken by the descendants of Canary Islanders who settled in Louisiana during the late 18th century.
This, coupled with the already present francophone and Creole-speaking populations, had a profound effect on the vocabulary and structure of Isleño Spanish.
The Isleños of St. Bernard Parish have faced many hardships including numerous natural disasters and education policies that have disrupted the transmission of Spanish.
The exact number of Canary Islanders that were settled in the territory is unknown but it estimated to be about 2,000 individuals.
These recruits were settled into four separate locations with only two seeing any form of success: San Bernardo along Bayou Terre-aux-Boeufs and Valenzuela along Bayou Lafourche.
Early in the establishment of this community, a minority of Acadians were present as well as Filipinos from the nearby community of San Malo which intermarried with the Canarian colonists.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, the community was reinforced by immigration from rural, peninsular Spanish regions such as Andalusia, Santander, Galicia, and Catalonia, but also from the Canary Islands and other Spanish-speaking countries.
A survey conducted in 1850 found at least 63 natives of Spain, 7 Canary Islanders, 7 Cubans, and 7 Mexicans in the community.
Individuals from other countries including Italy, Germany, and Ireland also emigrated and intermarried with the local population in certain areas during this period.
After World War II, returning Isleño servicemen looked for work in the suburban areas of New Orleans, and many left their communities in search of employment.
Their children were raised in predominantly English-speaking areas and consequently did not learn to speak Spanish and were not exposed to the native culture of the community.
Today, the transmission of the Spanish language has halted completely along with the preservation of many traditions; this has been supplanted by English and mainstream American culture.
That being said, many of the older generation remember the customs of their ancestors, and those born during the mid-20th century often speak Spanish as their native language.
Those who returned to the parish have retreated to behind the St. Bernard Flood Wall with only a fraction returning to traditionally Isleño communities.
In many respects Isleño Spanish shares an array of similarities with the other Spanish dialects generally of the Caribbean, the Canary Islands, and rural Spain.
This is to be expected as many Caribbean nations were heavily populated by Canary Islanders as well as migration and contact between these groups and the Isleños of Louisiana was not uncommon, particularly with the nearby port city of New Orleans.
Similar to much of Latin America, the Canary Islands, and southern Spain, Isleño Spanish merges /θ/ and /s/ into /s/, the phenomenon being known as seseo.
Additionally, due in large measure to the isolation of the Isleños, several archaic terms deriving from Old Spanish have been preserved.

Aldine Square was a residential neighborhood of Oakland, Chicago, that existed from 1874 until it was demolished in 1938 to make way for the Ida B.
The neighborhood was bounded by Vincennes Avenue on the east, Eden Avenue on the west, and 37th and 38th Streets on the north and south.
It consisted of 42 houses built of brick and limestone that surrounded a park with a pond in it, and was originally paved with cedar blocks.
Former residents of the neighborhood held a reunion at the La Salle Hotel in 1929, by which time the neighborhood had become primarily inhabited by African-Americans and the buildings dilapidated.
On October 25, 1934, it was announced that a new housing project would be constructed in the vicinity, which was the second such project in Chicago and would entail the condemnation of the properties of the area, including Aldine Square.
A replica of Aldine Square was exhibited at a March 1939 flower show at Navy Pier; at that time the pylons at the entrance of the neighborhood and the park itself were still standing, but only the foundations of the houses remained.
It connects the towns of Heart's Content and Victoria, with no other major intersections or communities along the highway besides at its two termini, Route 80 (Trinity Road) in Heart’s Content, and Route 70 (Conception Bay Highway) in Victoria.

The engine is powered by cryogenic liquid methane and liquid oxygen (LOX), rather than the RP-1 kerosene and LOX used in SpaceX's prior Merlin and Kestrel rocket engines.
The Raptor engine has about two times the thrust of the Merlin 1D engine that powers the current Falcon 9 launch vehicle.
The Raptor engine is a highly reusable methalox staged-combustion engine that will power the next generation of SpaceX launch vehicles designed to replace all existing SpaceX vehicles, including the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicles and the Dragon 2.
The Raptor engine is powered by subcooled liquid methane and subcooled liquid oxygen using a more efficient staged combustion cycle, a departure from the simpler 'open cycle' gas generator system and lox/kerosene propellants that current Merlin engines use.
The RS-25, with hydrolox propellant also used a staged combustion process, as do several Russian rocket engines including the RD-180 and the chamber pressure RD-191.
The stated design size for the Raptor engine varied widely during 2012–2017 as detailed design continued, from a high target of of vacuum thrust to a more recent, much lower target of .
In its 2017 iteration, the operational engine is expected to have a vacuum I of and a sea-level I of .
The Raptor engine is designed for the use of deep cryogenic propellants—fluids cooled to near their freezing points, rather than nearer their boiling points which is more typical for cryogenic rocket engines.
The use of subcooled propellants increases propellant density to allow more propellant mass in tanks; the engine performance is also improved with sub cooled propellants.
Specific impulse is increased, and the risk of cavitation at inputs to the turbopumps is reduced due to the higher mass flow rate per unit power generated.
Engine ignition for all Raptor engines, both on the pad and in the air, will be by spark ignition, which will eliminate the pyrophoric mixture of triethylaluminum-triethylborane (TEA-TEB) used for engine ignition on the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy.
Specifically, Raptor utilizes a full-flow staged combustion cycle, where 100 percent of the oxidizer—with a low-fuel ratio—will power the oxygen turbine pump, and 100 percent of the fuel—with a low-oxygen ratio—will power the methane turbine pump.
Prior to 2014, only two full-flow staged combustion rocket engines had ever progressed sufficiently to be tested on test stands: the Soviet RD-270 project in the 1960s and the Aerojet Rocketdyne Integrated Powerhead Demonstrator in the mid-2000s.
The turbopump and many of the critical parts of the injectors for the initial engine development testing were, as of 2015, manufactured by using 3D printing, which increases the speed of development and iterative testing.
The Raptor engine uses a large number of coaxial swirl injectors to admit propellants to the combustion chamber, rather than pintle injectors used on the previous Merlin rocket engines that SpaceX mass-produced for its Falcon family of launch vehicles.
The engine development from 2009 to 2015 was funded exclusively through private investment by SpaceX, and not as a result of any funding from the US government.
In March 2012, news accounts asserted that the Raptor upper-stage engine development program was underway, but that details were not being publicly released.
He further indicated that the engine concept, codenamed Raptor, would now become a methane-based design, and that methane would be the fuel of choice for SpaceX's plans for Mars colonization.
Because of the presence of water underground and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Mars, methane, a simple hydrocarbon, can easily be synthesized on Mars using the Sabatier reaction.
In-situ resource production on Mars has been examined by NASA and found to be viable for oxygen, water, and methane production.
According to a study published by researchers from the Colorado School of Mines, in-situ resource utilization such as methane from Mars makes space missions more feasible technically and economically and enables reusability.
Public information released in November 2012 indicated that SpaceX might have a family of Raptor-designated rocket engines in mind; this was confirmed by SpaceX in October 2013.
However, in March 2014 SpaceX COO Gwynne Shotwell clarified that the focus of the new engine development program is exclusively on the full-size Raptor engine; smaller subscale methalox engines were not planned on the development path to the very large Raptor engine.
In October 2013, SpaceX announced that they would be performing methane engine tests of Raptor engine components at the John C. Stennis Space Center in Hancock County, Mississippi, and that SpaceX would add equipment to the existing test stand infrastructure in order to support liquid methane and hot gaseous methane engine component testing.
In April 2014, SpaceX completed the requisite upgrades and maintenance to the Stennis test stand to prepare for testing of Raptor components, and the engine component testing program began in earnest, focusing on the development of robust startup and shutdown procedures, something that is typically quite difficult to do for full-flow staged combustion cycle engines.
Component testing at Stennis also allowed hardware characterization and verification of proprietary analytical software models that SpaceX developed to push the technology on this engine cycle that had little prior development work in the West.
October 2013 was the first time SpaceX disclosed a nominal design thrust of the Raptor engine——although early in 2014 they announced a Raptor engine with greater thrust, and in 2015, one with lower thrust that might better optimize thrust-to-weight.
A June 2014 talk by Mueller provided more specific engine performance target specifications indicating of sea-level thrust, of vacuum thrust, and a specific impulse (I) of for a vacuum version.
SpaceX successfully began development testing of injectors in 2014 and completed a full-power test of a full-scale oxygen preburner in 2015.
In January 2015, Elon Musk stated that the thrust they were currently targeting was around , much lower than older statements mentioned.
By August 2015, an Elon Musk statement surfaced that indicated the oxidizer to fuel ratio of the Mars-bound engine would be approximately 3.8 to 1.
In January 2016, the US Air Force awarded a development contract to SpaceX to develop a prototype version of its methane-fueled reusable Raptor engine for use on the upper stage of the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicles, which required double-matching funding by SpaceX of at least .
Work under the contract is expected to be completed in 2018, with engine performance testing to be done at NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center in Mississippi and Los Angeles Air Force Base, California.
Initial development testing of Raptor methane engine components was done at the Stennis Space Center in Hancock County, Mississippi, where SpaceX added equipment to the existing infrastructure in order to support liquid methane engine testing.
Initial testing was limited to components of the Raptor engine, since the test stands at the E-2 complex at Stennis were not large enough to test the full Raptor engine.
The development Raptor engine discussed in the October 2013 time frame relative to Stennis testing was designed to generate more than vacuum thrust.
A revised, higher-thrust, specification was discussed by the company in February 2014, but it was unclear whether that higher thrust was something that would be achieved with the initial development engines.
Raptor engine component testing began in May 2014 at the E-2 test complex which SpaceX modified to support methane engine tests.
The modifications to the test stands made by SpaceX are now a part of the Stennis test infrastructure and are available to other users of the test facility after the SpaceX facility lease was completed.
By 2016, SpaceX had constructed a new engine test stand at their site of McGregor in central Texas that can handle the larger thrust of the full Raptor engine.
By August 2016, SpaceX confirmed that a Raptor engine had been shipped to the testing site in McGregor for development tests, and the development Raptor did an initial 9-second firing test on 26 September 2016, the day before Musk's talk at the International Aeronautical Congress.
By August 2016, the first integrated Raptor rocket engine, manufactured at the SpaceX Hawthorne facility in California, shipped to the McGregor rocket engine test facility in Texas for development testing.
The engine had thrust, which makes it approximately one-third the size of the full-scale Raptor engine planned for flight tests in 2019/2020 timeframe.
On 26 September 2016, Elon Musk tweeted two images of the first test firing of an integrated Raptor in SpaceX's McGregor test complex.
On the same day Musk revealed that their target performance for Raptor was a vacuum specific impulse of , with a thrust of , a chamber pressure of , and an expansion ratio of 150 for an altitude optimized version.
When asked if the nozzle diameter for such version was , he stated that it was pretty close to that dimension.
On the 27th he clarified that 150 expansion ratio was for the development version, that the production vacuum version would have an expansion ratio of 200.
Substantial additional technical details of the ITS propulsion were summarized in a technical article on the Raptor engine published the next week.
By September 2017, the development Raptor engine—with chamber pressure—had undergone 1200 seconds of test fire testing in ground-test stands across 42 main engine tests, with the longest test being 100 seconds (which is limited by the capacity of the ground-test propellant tanks).
, the first version of the flight engine is intended to operate at a chamber pressure of , with the intent to raise it to at a later time.
While plans for Raptor flight testing have consistently been on the new-generation fiber-composite-material construction flight vehicles since 2016, the specific vehicle was not clarified until October 2017, when it was indicated that initial suborbital test flights would occur with a Big Falcon Ship.
In November 2016, the first flight tests of the Raptor engine were projected to be on the Interplanetary Transport System, no earlier than the early 2020s.
A key driver of the 2017 architecture was to make the new system useful for substantial Earth-orbit and Cislunar launches so that the new system might pay for itself, in part, through economic spaceflight activities in the near-Earth space zone.
Elon Musk announced in September 2017 that the initial flight platform for any Raptor engine would be some part of the Big Falcon Rocket.
SpaceX intends this approach to bring significant cost savings which will help the company justify the development expense of designing and building the new launch vehicle design.
In addition to orbital spaceflight missions, BFR is being considered for the point-to-point Earth transportation market, with ~30–60-minute flights to nearly anywhere on the planet.
The test lasted two seconds with the engine operating at 60 percent of rated thrust at a chamber pressure of .
The test was conducted using warm propellant, with expectations of a 10% to 20% increase in performance when switching to deep cryogenic temperatures for the propellant.
On 10 February 2019, Musk announced on Twitter that the flight version engine had attained the chamber combustion pressure of on a test stand.
Serial numbers 3, 4, 5 and 6 had all made it to the test stand by early July, but the first three had issues of various sorts and SpaceX did not try any flight tests of the Starhopper test vehicle.
SpaceX is developing their next-generation rocket to be reusable from the beginning, just like an aircraft, and thus needs to start with narrow flight test objectives, while still aiming to land the rocket successfully to be used subsequently in further tests to expand the flight envelope.
The Raptor methalox engine for SpaceX next-generation launch vehicles have gone through a number of design concepts for engine thrust, specific impulse, and sea-level-nozzle/vacuum-nozzle sizings, depending on the vehicle design concept SpaceX was working on at the time, and subscale versions of Raptor engines were also built for early testing on ground test stands.
In addition, in 2016–2018, a custom prototype upper-stage methalox FFSC Raptor engine was designed and tested for the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicles, strictly for the US Air Force to meet US military space readiness objectives.
In September 2016 at the IAC meetings, Musk mentioned several Raptor engine designs that could be used on the Interplanetary Transport System by late in the decade.
In addition, a much smaller subscale engine had already been built for test and validation of the new full-flow staged-combustion cycle engine.
At that time, this first subscale Raptor development engine had recently been tested on a ground test stand, but for only one brief firing.
In order to eliminate flow separation problems while being tested in Earth's atmosphere, the test nozzle expansion ratio had been limited to only 150.
In reporting during the two weeks following the Musk ITS launch vehicle reveal on 27 September, NASASpaceFlight.com indicated that the development engine was only one-third the size of any of the several larger engine designs that were discussed for the later flight vehicles.
For the flight vehicles, Elon Musk discussed two engines: both a low-expansion ratio (ER40) for the first stage, or ITS booster and a higher-expansion ratio (200) to obtain higher performance with the second stage.
42 of these ER40 engines were envisioned in the high-level design of the first stage, with of thrust at sea-level, and in vacuum.
In addition, three gimbaled short-nozzle ER40 engines were to be used for maneuvering the 2016-design ITS second-stage; and these engines were also expected to be used for retropropulsive landings on Mars (with mean atmospheric pressure on the Martian surface of ,).
The higher-efficiency engine for in-space flight in vacuum conditions was envisioned then to target a specific impulse of 382s, using a much larger nozzle giving an expansion ratio of 200.
Six of these non-gimbaled engines were planned to provide primary propulsion for the 2016 designs of the Interplanetary Spaceship and the Earth-orbit ITS tanker.
As designed, both of those vehicles were to play a short-term role as second stages on launches to Earth orbit, as well as provide high-I efficiency on transfer from geocentric to heliocentric orbit for transport to beyond-Earth-orbit celestial bodies.
A year later, at the IAC meetings in September 2017, and following a year of testing and iterative development by the propulsion team, Musk said that a smaller Raptor engine—with slightly over half as much thrust as the previous concept designs for the ITS—would be used on the next-generation rocket, now a -diameter launch vehicle and publicly referred to as Big Falcon Rocket (BFR).
By mid-2018, SpaceX was publicly stating that the sea-level flight version Raptor engine design, with a nozzle exit diameter of , was expected to have thrust at sea-level with an I of increasing to an I of in vacuum.
The vacuum flight version, with a nozzle exit diameter of , was expected to exert force with an I of .
The earliest versions of the flight engine is designed to operate at chamber pressure; but SpaceX expects to increase this to in later iterations.
The flight engine is designed for extreme reliability, aiming to support the airline-level of safety required by the point-to-point Earth transportation market.
In January 2016, the US Air Force (USAF) awarded a development contract to SpaceX to develop a prototype version of its methane-fueled reusable Raptor engine for use on the upper stage of the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicles.
Work under the contract was expected to be completed no later than December 2018, and engine performance testing was planned to be completed at NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center in Mississippi under US Air Force supervision.
The USAF contract called only for the development and build of a prototype engine with a series of ground tests, with no upper stage launch vehicle design funded by the contract.
In October 2017 the US Air Force (USAF) awarded a modification for the development of the Raptor rocket propulsion system prototype for the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle program, with work under that contract expected to be completed by April 2018.
The USAF contract called only for the development and build of a prototype, to be demonstrated in a USAF-supervised set of tests.
As of September 2016, the Raptor engine was slated to be used in three spaceflight vehicles making up the two launch stages of an ITS stack.
The first stage would always be ITS booster while the second stage may be either an Interplanetary Spaceship (for beyond-Earth-orbit missions) or an ITS tanker (for on-orbit propellant transfer operations nearer to Earth).
The SpaceX 2016-design of the Interplanetary booster was announced with 42 sea-level optimized Raptors in the first stage of the ITS with a total of of thrust.
The SpaceX Interplanetary Spaceship—which made up the second stage of the ITS on Earth launches was also an interplanetary spacecraft carrying cargo and passengers to beyond-Earth-orbit destinations after on-orbit refueling—was slated in the 2016 design to use six vacuum-optimized Raptors for primary propulsion plus three Raptors with sea-level nozzles for maneuvering.
The SpaceX design after late 2017 is for a much smaller launch vehicle, 9 meters in diameter rather than 12 meters for the ITS, and is now known as Starship.
The Starship first stage (now known as Super Heavy) was slated to have 31 sea-level optimized Raptors in the initial design concept, with a total of of thrust.

Crosby graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 1922, and subsequently became involved in archaeology and ancient history, especially epigraphy and metrology, earning her PhD at Yale University.
During World War II, Crosby joined the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and worked as a cryptographer for the OSS' Greek Desk, deciphering reports and materials for the Allied Forces.
Crosby supervised fieldwork at the Athenian Agora with the American School of Classical Studies at Athens from 1935 to 1939, and was present at every digging season in those years, although digging seasons often lasted as long as five months.
The Greek Desk of the OSS had been created by Rodney Young and was staffed by a large number of archaeologists.
She was a reports officer for the OSS in Cairo from June to November 1944, and accompanied Gerard Else when he led the move from Cairo to Caserta, where they could be better overseen by the Allied Forces Headquarters.
After leaving the OSS at the end of the war, Crosby returned to supervise fieldwork at the Athenian Agora from 1946 to 1945.
On January 26, 2020, a Sikorsky S-76B helicopter crashed in Calabasas, California, around northwest of Los Angeles, en route from John Wayne Airport to Camarillo Airport.
It was carrying retired basketball player Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna; her 13-year-old teammates Alyssa Altobelli and Payton Chester; their parents Keri and John Altobelli, and Sarah Chester; basketball assistant coach Christina Mauser; and pilot Ara Zobayan.
On January 29, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner declared the official cause of death for all nine people on the helicopter as blunt force trauma.
According to FAA and California Secretary of State records, the helicopter was registered to the Island Express Holding Corporation, based in Fillmore, California.
It was not generally known in the aftermath of the crash whether Bryant had chartered the aircraft or leased it full-time.
The helicopter was also not equipped with a terrain awareness and warning system (TAWS); although the NTSB recommended that all helicopters equipped with six or more passenger seats be equipped with a TAWS after a 2004 S-76A crash, the FAA did not implement the recommendation.
They were heading to a basketball game at Bryant's Mamba Sports Academy in Newbury Park, where Bryant was scheduled to coach Gianna's team.
Flight records showed that the helicopter had flown the same journey the day before without incident to Camarillo Airport (CMA), a small airport about 15 minutes by car from Mamba Sports Academy.
The previous day's flight had taken only 30 minutes; in contrast, driving from Bryant's home in Newport Beach to the academy would have taken at least two hours.
The Los Angeles Police Air Support Division had grounded its police helicopters on the morning of January 26 because of the poor weather conditions; Air Support Division rules require at least of visibility and an cloud ceiling.
At the time that N72EX took off from SNA, visibility was with a cloud ceiling of , and it was operating under visual flight rules (VFR).
Flying through clouds is possible if a pilot elects to operate under instrument flight rules (IFR), but according to a former pilot for Island Express and FAA records, the company's pilots were not allowed to fly under IFR.
Even if the company's rules had permitted so, flying under IFR would have led to lengthy delays and detours (thereby using up any anticipated time savings) because of severe congestion in Los Angeles controlled airspace.
Because visual flight rules prohibit a pilot from flying into or near clouds, the helicopter ascended to an altitude of while flying northwest from SNA.
On most of its previous flights to Camarillo, the helicopter had turned west at Downtown Los Angeles and flown over the Santa Monica Mountains until it picked up the Ventura Freeway (US 101).
But on January 26, that was not an option for VFR flights because of a deep marine layer which had pushed fog from the Pacific Ocean into the Santa Monica Mountains.
Instead, the helicopter continued northwest, passed over Boyle Heights near Dodger Stadium and began following the route of the Golden State Freeway (I-5); as the flight approached Glendale, air traffic controllers had the helicopter circle in a holding pattern for 11 minutes starting at 9:21 a.m. (17:21 UTC) before granting it permission to proceed into the controlled airspace around Burbank Airport.
After proceeding through the Burbank controlled airspace, the flight turned west, following the Ronald Reagan Freeway (SR 118) as it passed into the Van Nuys Airport controlled airspace; the Van Nuys controllers shortly afterward approved a turn southwest towards the Ventura Freeway (US 101) at 9:39 a.m. (17:39 UTC).
In a press conference, NTSB Member Jennifer Homendy stated the pilot then advised air traffic control he was putting the aircraft into a climb to avoid a cloud layer; this was the last transmission made by the pilot.
By 9:42 a.m. (17:42 UTC), the helicopter had arrived at and started following the Ventura Freeway west, entering more hilly terrain at the western edge of the San Fernando Valley; as the ground started to rise, the helicopter went into a climb, gaining of altitude in 36 seconds.
At 9:44 a.m. (17:44 UTC), in response to a request from the pilot, Southern California air traffic control advised the helicopter it was too close to terrain for flight following, a tracking service that would have provided the VFR flight with continuous verbal updates on air traffic.
According to transponder data, the helicopter first entered a climbing turn to the left, taking a southern heading and peaking at an altitude of ; the helicopter then made a descending turn further to the left, taking a southeast heading.
The helicopter entered a dive at 9:45:15 a.m. (17:45 UTC), descending at a rate of with a speed of before it struck the hill at 9:45:39 a.m. at an elevation of approximately .
The helicopter crashed and caught fire in Calabasas, California, near the intersection of Las Virgenes Road and Willow Glen Street, as reported by a 9-1-1 emergency call at 9:47 a.m. (17:47 UTC).
Firefighters hiked to the site and paramedics rappelled from a helicopter to the scene but could not locate any survivors; all nine occupants of the helicopter were killed in the crash.
TMZ was later criticized at a local law enforcement press conference for reporting the story before the local law enforcement had the opportunity for the coroner's office to confirm the identity of occupants and officially inform families.
At 2:30 p.m., the Los Angeles County Sheriff and Los Angeles County Fire Department held a joint press conference detailing initial aspects of the crash.
Los Angeles County fire chief Daryl Osby confirmed the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) were on the scene investigating.
At 8:00 p.m., the Los Angeles County sheriff, L.A. County Fire Department, and L.A. County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner held another joint press conference.
The Sheriff urged people to stay away, because people had flooded into residential neighborhoods around the crash site and the traffic was getting in the way of first responders.
In response to attempts at unauthorized access during the first evening after the crash, the Sheriff assigned deputies to patrol the rugged terrain on horseback and all-terrain vehicles in order to enforce a secure perimeter and prevent access by souvenir hunters.
This means that the helicopter was too low to be tracked by air traffic control, but does not necessarily mean that it was too low to fly safely.
A spokesperson for the National Transportation Safety Board said on January 31 that Island Express Helicopters, which owned the helicopter that crashed, was not certified to fly in foggy conditions.
Around 200 people gathered at the foot of the hill close to the crash, with many wearing Bryant's jersey and holding basketballs.
People also formed an impromptu memorial at the Staples Center, where the Los Angeles Lakers, the team with whom Bryant had spent his entire professional career, play, just hours before the arena was scheduled to host the Grammy Awards.
Fans created a memorial for Bryant outside of the Kobe Bryant Gymnasium at Lower Merion High School in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, which Bryant attended from 1992 to 1996.
Landmarks across the United States, including Los Angeles International Airport, Madison Square Garden and the Empire State Building, and around the world, were lit purple and gold in Bryant's memory.
Downer coached Bryant at Lower Merion High School in suburban Philadelphia from 1992 to 1996 and won the state championship with Bryant in 1996.
I loved Kobe he was like a little brother to me... We used to talk often, and I will miss those conversations very much.
Several NBA teams paid tribute to Bryant during their games that night with intentional on-court violations referring to his uniform numbers: violations of the 24-second shot clock and the rule requiring teams to advance the ball past midcourt within eight seconds.
Gianna Bryant was a fan of the UConn Huskies women's basketball team and had attended multiple games, and she had hoped to attend and play for the university.
A.C. Milan, Bryant's favorite soccer team growing up, wore black armbands in memory of him in their Coppa Italia match against Torino on January 28; a minute of silence was also held before the match.
The NBA postponed the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Los Angeles Clippers that had been scheduled for January 28, two days after the tragedy.
Many Major League Baseball, National Football League and National Hockey League players, teams and other organizations memorialized Bryant in the immediate aftermath of the crash.
Many players took time in the 2020 Pro Bowl to pay their respect to Bryant in the form of prayers and celebration tributes.
U.S. president Donald Trump, former U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, California governor Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti and other American politicians all expressed their condolences.
McCoy has also reportedly given a verbal commitment to play beach volleyball with the USC Class of 2025 for head coach, Dain Blanton.

Adolphus Andrews (October 7, 1879 - June 19, 1948) was a decorated officer in the United States Navy with the rank of Vice Admiral.
A Naval Academy graduate and veteran of three wars, he is most noted for his service as Commander, Eastern Sea Frontier during the World War II.
He later served on the Pearl Harbor Court of Inquiry in 1944 and following the War, Andrews served as American Red Cross Commissioner for Pacific area.
Adolphus Andrews was born on October 7, 1879 in Galveston, Texas, the son of merchant Adolphus Rutherford Andrews and his wife former Lala Caroline Davis.
He graduated from the Oak Cliff High School in Dallas in summer 1895 and entered the University of Texas at Austin.
Andrews spent one year at the University, before took a competitive exam for appointment to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland.
He graduated on June 7, 1901 with Bachelor of Science degree on the top of his class and among his classmates were several future Admirals including World War II Chief of Naval Operations, Ernest J.
King; and Burrell C. Allen, Ivan E. Bass, John Downes, Arthur P. Fairfield, Charles W. Fisher Jr., Julius A. Furer, George F. Neal, Walter N. Vernou, Manley H. Simmons, Rufus F. Zogbaum Jr. and William S. Pye.
He also held additional duty as Aide at the White House and was promoted consecutively to Lieutenant (junior grade) and Lieutenant on June 7, 1906.
In February 1908, Andrews returned to the United States and assumed duty at New York Navy Yard, where he remained for eight months and then was transferred to the Navy Recruiting Stations in Dallas, Texas.
Andrews subsequently returned to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland and served as Aide to the Superintendent and Secretary of the Academic Board, Captain John H. Gibbons until April 1914.
He served originaly as Ship's Navigator under Captain Roger Welles during the rearmament at Philadelphia Navy Yard and following the promotion and detachment of Captain Welles in January 1917, Andrews was appointed acting commanding officer.
He then participated in the training off the coast of Cuba and also served as Naval Aide to Prince Axel of Denmark during the latter's stay in the United States.
Andrews was promoted to the rank of Commander on July 1, 1918 and to the temporary rank of Captain on September 21 that year.
In December 1918, Andrews was ordered to New York City and attached to the headquarters of Third Naval District under Rear admiral Nathaniel R. Usher.
He remained in that capacity until November 1919, when he was sent to the Naval War College at Newport, Rhode Island.
He accompanied President Harding to Alaska and after his death in August 1923, continued as senior Naval Aide to President Calvin Coolidge.
He remained in that assignment until April 1926, when he was succeeded by Captain Wilson Brown and assumed duty as a member of the American Representation at the Geneva Preparatory Commission on Limitation of Armaments.
In mid-1927 he was again sent to Geneva as a member of the American Representation for the Conference on Limitation of Armaments.
He was subsequently ordered to the Naval War College at Newport, Rhode Island and appointed Chief of Staff to President of the College, Rear admiral Harris Laning.
Following the departure of admiral Laning in May 1933, Andrews served as acting President of the College for three weeks, when he was relieved by new President, Rear admiral Luke McNamee.
He was subsequently appointed Chief of Staff of the Battle Force, operating in the Atlantic under Admiral Joseph M. Reeves and remained in that capacity until February 1934, when admiral Reeves was promoted to the command of the United States Fleet and took Andrews with him as Chief of Staff.
In June 1935, Andrews was appointed Chief of the Bureau of Navigation in Washington, D.C. and was responsible mostly for Navy personnel administration until June 1938.
He was subsequently appointed Commander, Scouting Force, operating with the United States Fleet and was promoted to the temporary rank of Vice Admiral on July 1, 1938.
During his service with the Scouting Force, United States Fleet, Andrews visited Panama and received Order of Vasco Núñez de Balboa.
He was also member of the American delegation to Brazil on the occasion of the anniversary of Brazilian independence and received Order of Naval Merit.
Following the completion of his tour with Scouting Force in February 1941, Andrews reverted to his permanent rank of Rear admiral and assumed duty as Commandant of the Third Naval District with headquarters at New York Navy Yard.
During the end of his tenure in February 1942, seized ocean liner SS Normandie, which was stationed at New York Navy Yard caught fire and capsized.
Due to the Investigation Andrew's nomination to Vice admiral was held up by the senate naval affairs committee after Senators Charles L. McNary and Owen Brewster raised the question of placing responsibility for the fire.
Meanwhile, Naval Coastal Frontiers were grouped in to Sea Frontiers and the area of the Naval Coastal Frontier formerly under Andrew's command was merged into the Eastern Sea Frontier and he became its commander.
Andrews had to face the task of sweeping the stretch of the Atlantic between Nova Scotia and Florida free of enemy submarines.
He was transferred to the Retired list of the Navy on November 1, 1943, but remained on active as Chairman of the Navy Manpower Survey Board in the Office of the Secretary of the Navy under Frank Knox.
Andrew's Board of five (among them Andrew's Naval Academy Classmate Charles W. Fisher Jr., Rear admiral Paul F. Foster and Civil Service Commissioner Arthur S. Flemming) was appointed to determine whether shore establishments were over-manned or under-manned and whether Navy's manpower was being utilized to the best possible advantage.
Following the death of Secretary Knox in April 1944, his successor James V. Forrestal ordered that a Naval Court of Inquiry be convened to investigate the facts surrounding the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and to assess any culpability borne by members of the Navy.
The Court consisted of Andrews; Admiral Orin G. Murfin, who served as President of the Court, and Admiral Edward C. Kalbfus.
Its report to the Navy Department largely exonerated Rear Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet at the time of the attack.
The court found that Kimmel's decisions had been correct given the limited information available to him, but criticized then-Chief of Naval Operations Harold R. Stark for failing to warn Kimmel that war was imminent.
Because the court's findings implicitly revealed that American cryptographers had broken the Japanese codes, a critical wartime secret, the court's report was not made public until after the end of the war.
The court had found that the Army and Navy had adequately cooperated in the defense of Pearl Harbor; that there had been no information indicating that Japanese carriers were on their way to attack Pearl Harbor; and that the attack had succeeded principally because of the aerial torpedo, a secret weapon whose use could not have been predicted.
Forrestal disapproved all of these findings, judging that Kimmel could have done more with the information he had had to prevent or mitigate the attack.
Andrews was relieved of all active duty in December 1944 and assumed position as Commissioner of the American Red Cross for South Pacific areas in June 1945.
He subsequently served as a director of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railway, the Texas Bank & Trust Company, the Kansas City Wholesale Grocery Company of Kansas City, Mo., and the Bird Shankle Corporation of San Antonio.
He was also a member of the New York City University Club, the Dallas Downtown Club, the Fort Worth Club, the Alibi Club, and the Metropolitan Club and Cevy Chase Country Clubs of Washington, D.C.
Vice admiral Adolphus Andrews died following a long illness on June 19, 1948, aged 68, at Naval Hospital in Houston, Texas.
They had two children a son, Adolphus Andrews Jr., who served as Marine Corps officer during World War II and a daughter Frances W. Andrews.
Crystal Simone Dangerfield (born May 11, 1998) is an American women's basketball player with the University of Connecticut Huskies of the American Athletic Conference.
Vuk Kalaitović (1913—1948) was a Yugoslav military officer holding the rank of captain who was commander of the Chetnik Mileševa Corps during World War II.

At the same time another group of protesters near the central tent blocked the traffic and brought out gas bottles on Savska street which they apparently threatened to blow if the police doesn't back off from the church.
After both Josipović and Milanović lost the elections in 2014. and 2015. the protests gradually calmed down and in April 2016., with the new minister taking over the veterans office, the tent was dismantled, formally ending the protest.
On second day of the protest, a window was broken on the building of the Ministry by throwing a potato in the glass.
On the third day of the protest a female veteran invalid got sick during the rally and she died shortly after.
Two days later, on October 24 2014., prime minister Milanović gave a statement in which he stood by his ministers and accused the protesters of protesting with support of the rival party Croatian Democratic Union.
On following days, minister Matić had to be escorted by the police while he was going to work in the ministry.

As they were passing through the city, the people who disagreed with them, shouted insults to the counter-protesters.At the same time, between 300-400 Tent veterans started marching towards prime minister Mianović's appartement because the tent leaders accused Milanović of being behind the counter-protest.
On May 29, prime minister Milanović declared his offer to negotiate with the tenters in Lisinski Concert Hall, which they rejected.

Eventually, Toliver invites McDowal to his home to reveal his conclusion—that he, himself, is the intended victim, and that McDowal is the killer.
McDowal shoots him, but Toliver, wearing a bulletproof vest, remarks that he solved the case two days prior, and activates a blade that impales McDowal.

Abbey Well (also sometimes branded as Schweppes Abbey Well) is a brand of bottled water produced by Coca-Cola European Partners in the United Kingdom.
The name comes from a location near to the source of the water, a 12th century Cistercian Abbey, Newminster Abbey, one of the favourite places of the founder of the company, Thomas Robson.
As of 2008 the company had 91 employees, produced 30 million litres of water annually and had a turnover of £11 million.
The acquisition of Abbey Well marked Coca-Cola's third foray into the UK water market after its previous attempts using the Dasani and Malvern brands.
Coca-Cola was the official drink sponsor of 2012 Summer Olympics and they decided not to reintroduce its previous Dasani water brand which was still used in other countries to the UK market and used Abbey Well, branded under the Schweppes brand name (which Coca-Cola holds the UK rights to), to provide a locally sourced water brand for the event.
Waters & Robson's Morpeth site is still used by Coca-Cola European Partners today for Abbey Well as well as for their Glaceau Smartwater product and Schweppes Soda Water.
Nina Chaubal (born 1992) is the co-founder and Director of Operations at Trans Lifeline, the first transgender suicide hotline to exist in the United States and Canada.
In 2009, Chaubal immigrated alone to the United States on a student visa to attend college at the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana.
Chaubal earned her H1B, a visa for foreign workers employed in the U.S. in order to work at Google as a software engineer, a position she accepted in January 2013.
The cause was close to the pair, as Chaubal had struggled with suicidal thoughts and Martela had been hospitalized for being suicidal.
In June of the same year, Chaubal was the subject of one of Miley Cyrus's Happy Hippie Presents #InstaPride Portraits Campaign.
On August 30, 2015, Chaubal was among the Happy Hippie Foundation representatives to speak onstage and introduce Miley Cyrus at the MTV Video Music Awards.
In 2018, Chaubal took a post at Hustle as a software engineer, then transitioned to work at Even.com in the same capacity, all the while heading up Trans Lifeline's operations.
On Dec. 28, 2016, while driving from California to her home in Chicago through a checkpoint in Wellton, Arizona, Chaubal was stopped and detained by ICE agents, who asked for her passport.
She produced a photo of it, which is when they saw that she was designated as male on it, contrasting with her gender expression in-person.
They also noted that she was in the country on an expired work visa, although she was legally married to a U.S. citizen, Martela.
She was then transported to a holding facility in Arizona, eventuating in her admission to Eloy Detention Center, which has a reputation for violence against LGBTQ+ detainees.
She was released Jan. 2, 2017 after posting $4,500 bond, which she was able to do with the help of an online crowdfunding campaign.

Located in the village of Bécordel-Bécourt, a short distance due east of Albert, Norfolk Cemetery was started by the 1st Battalion of the Royal Norfolk Regiment in August 1915.
When the battalion left, other units that were stationed there continued to inter casualties in the cemetery up until August 1916.
Designed by Herbert Baker, the cemetery is sited on the C1 road to Becourt and is laid out substantially as a rectangle surrounded by a low brick wall.
Many of the soldiers buried in the cemetery were those of the 21st Division who were killed or died of wounds during the opening days of the Battle of the Somme.
A notable interment is Stewart Loudoun-Shand, a soldier in the British Army who was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross (VC) for his actions on the opening day of the Battle of the Somme.
The ashes of another VC recipient, Brett Cloutman who died in 1971, are interred at the cemetery, in the grave of his brother, an officer of No.
The Algeria–Morocco border is 1,427 km (887 m) in length and runs from Mediterranean Sea in the north, to the tripoint with Western Sahara in the south.
The boundary starts in the north on the Mediterranean Sea just west of Marsa Ben M'Hidi; it then proceeds overland toward the south via a series of irregular lines, veering slightly to the southeast.
Near the Moroccan town of Figuig it veers sharply to the west, proceeding then in a broadly south-westerly direction via a series of straight and irregular lines.
Upon reaching the Draa River the border then follows this for some distance, before veering sharply to the south, whereupon a straight north-south line proceeds for 116 km (72 m) down to the Western Sahara tripoint.
France occupied much of the northern coastal areas of Algeria in the period 1830-47, which had hitherto been subject to the nominal control of the Ottoman Empire.
Morocco initially managed to maintain its independence throughout the 'Scramble for Africa' in the late 19th century, whereby European colonial control was established in the rest of Africa.
The border between it and the Ottoman domains to the east had been vague, and Morocco maintained a traditional, though often weekly enforced, claim to large areas of north-west Africa.
France sought to rectify this, and as a result a border which delimited from the Mediterranean south to Teniet el-Sassi via the Treaty of Lalla Marnia of 18 March 1845.
Protocols confirming this treaty were signed on 20 July 1901 and 20 April 1902, which also extended the frontier south to Figuig, though not in any great detail.
The thinly scarcely inhabited areas south of Figuig the border remained undemarcated, subject to vague and ill-defined administrative practices on the ground of uncertain legal standing.
In 1912, via the Treaty of Fez, France and Spain partitioned Morocco between them, with the northern littoral becoming Spanish Morocco (excluding Tangier, which later became an international zone) and the rest French Morocco (minus Ifni, which formed a Spanish exclave).
The uncertainty over much of the border alignment, and Morocco’s claims for a so-called 'Greater Morocco' encompassing much of north-west Africa, led to the Sand War of 1962-3.
Various agreements were signed in 1969-70 aiming to provide a peaceful resolution of the dispute, which resulted in the treaty of 15 June 1972 which demarcated for the first time the entire boundary.
However relations worsened when Spain announced its intention to pull out of Spanish Sahara (modern Western Sahara) in 1975, with Morocco then annexing the northern two-thirds, and later the whole, of the territory.
Relations thawed slightly with the advent of peace in Algeria in the early 2000s, though at present the border remains closed.

The Sainte-Anne Ouest River is a tributary of the Bras du Nord flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Blanc and Lac-Croche, as well as in the town of Saint-Raymond, in the MRC Portneuf Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, in Canada.
The Sainte-Anne Ouest river is mainly served by the forest road R0320 and the rang Saguenay road which passes on the east bank of the Neilson river and the Bras du Nord.
The surface of the Sainte-Anne Ouest river (except the rapids) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally from late December to early March.
From the mouth of Lake Annette, the Sainte-Anne Ouest river flows over generally southward entirely in the forest zone, with a drop of .
The Sainte-Anne Ouest river flows at the confluence of the Neilson River; this confluence becomes the source of the Bras du Nord.
From there, the current generally descends south following the course of the latter to the northwest bank of the Sainte-Anne River.

The major parties both gained votes, with the Social Democratic Party gaining 8% more of the vote compared to 2015 and the Austrian People's Party coming second with 30.5% of the votes, 1.5% more than the last election.
Third-parties such as the Freedom Party and the regional LBL lost voters, with the List Burgenland losing its representation in the landtag.
The Social Democrats gained a majority of the seats, which reverses the trend of losses after the national election the prior year.
Under the leadership of Hans-Peter Doskozil, the party has shifted rightwards on issues such as immigration and security, likely in order to stave off the ÖVP, which rose nationally in the years prior.
The election continues the SPÖ streak of having held the governorship of Burgenland - the least populous state - since 1964.
The SPÖ was able to gain four seats, at the expense of the FPÖ and List Burgenland, and reached the threshold of having a legislative majority without the need for a coalition.

Bernard IV (died after 1162) was the lord of Anduze from 1128 and the husband of Ermengard, viscountess of Narbonne, from 1142 or 1143.
Bernard, a widower with children, was probably about forty years of age when he married Ermengard in late 1142 or early 1143.
It was a marriage of convenience arranged by a Narbonnese faction and an alliance of the regional nobility acting against the dominance of Duke Alfonso Jordan and his faction in the city.
On 21 October 1142, Ermengard had signed a marriage contract with Alfonso, who was the overlord of the viscounty of Narbonne and in control of the town during Ermengard's youth.
The text of just one such oath has survived, that of Bernard of Porta Regia, but it refers to several others, now lost.
He does not appear in Narbonnese affairs again, and it is probable that the marriage was arranged solely to render Ermengard ineligible for future marriage.

The Morocco–Western Sahara border is 444 km (276 m) in length and runs from Atlantic Ocean in the west, to the tripoint with Algeria in the east.
The border starts in the west at the Atlantic coast and consists of a single horizontal line, terminating in the east at the Algerian tripoint.
The border emerged during the 'Scramble for Africa', a period of intense competition between European powers in the later 19th century for territory and influence in Africa.
The process culminated in the Berlin Conference of 1884, in which the European nations concerned agreed upon their respective territorial claims and the rules of engagements going forward.
As a result of this process, Spain announced its intention to declare a protectorate over the north-west African coast between Cape Bojador and Ras Nouadhibou (Cape Blanco/Cap Blanc), which was formally created as the Rio de Oro colony the following year.
On 27 June 1900 France and Spain signed a treaty which created a border between Rio de Oro and French West Africa starting at Ras Nouadhibou and terminating at the junction of the 12th meridian west and the 26th parallel north (i.e.
This boundary was then extended by a treaty of 3 October 1904 north up to what is now the tripoint with Algeria and then west along the parallel of 27°40'N, this latter line forming the modern Morocco-Western Sahara boundary; the new Spanish territory thus formed was named Saguia el-Hamra.
Another Franco-Spanish treaty was signed on 27 November 1912 which created a French protectorate over most of Morocco, whilst ceding parts of the country to Spain viz.
the Mediterranean littoral (the 'Northern Zone', or more commonly Spanish Morocco), the exclave of Ifni and the Cape Juby/Tarfaya Strip (aka the 'Southern Zone'), the latter forming what is now the far south of Morocco proper, between the Draa River and the Saguia el-Hamra border at 27°40'N agreed upon in 1904.
From 1946-58 Spanish Morocco, the Tarfaya Strip, Ifni, Rio de Oro and Saguia el Hamra were united as Spanish West Africa.
Morocco gained independence from France in 1956, including Spanish Morocco (minus the plazas de soberanía which remain part of Spain today).
The newly independent state, inspired by the idea of creating a 'Greater Morocco', claimed all of Spanish West Africa as Moroccan land.
In 1958 Spain merged Rio de Oro and Saguia el-Hamara in 1958 as Spanish Sahara; that same year Spain ceded the Tarfaya Strip to Morocco (via the Treaty of Angra de Cintra), thereby re-instating the 1904 border.
Morocco then turned its sights to Spanish Sahara, however Mauritania (independent since 1960) also contested the territory, claiming the former colony of Rio de Oro as part of 'Greater Mauritania'.
Saharawi nationalists had meanwhile formed the Polisario, seeking independence for the whole of Spanish Sahara as Western Sahara, and began a low-level guerrilla campaign.
An International Court of Justice ruling on the matter in October 1975 stated that neither the Moroccan nor Mauritanian claims to Western Sahara were strong enough to justify annexation, and that the Saharawi people should be allowed to determine their own future.
Morocco thereafter sought to settle the matter military, and in November 1975 conducted the 'Green March', in which thousands of soldiers and Moroccan nationalists forcibly crossed the Morocco-Spanish Sahara border.
Spain’s dictator Francisco Franco was at this time near-death, and the country was unwilling to respond militarily at such a delicate time, keen to avoid the kind of drawn-out colonial war that had bedevilled Portugal in its African colonies.
Polisario forces declared a Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic based on the boundaries of Spanish Sahara, thus starting a long war against Morocco and Mauritania.
In the 1980s, in an effort to control the territory and stymie the Polisario, Morocco began building a number of elaborate walls (or 'berms'), eventually completing the Moroccan Western Sahara Wall in 1987.
Morocco and Polisario signed a ceasefire agreement in 1991 ending the war; Morocco retained control of areas west of the wall (roughly 80% of Western Sahara), with Polisario controlling those east.

The group is named after the Uprisings of March 23, 1965, which broke out the day after a violently repressed peaceful student protest.
Many young people could not forgive the state for the killings, particularly with the absence of any investigation or questioning, as well as with the permanence of those responsible in their respective positions.
Among these was General Mohamed Oufkir, the second most powerful figure in the country behind King Hassan II, who on March 23, 1965 allegedly fired on the crowds from a helicopter.
In this context, there was serious thought given to starting an organization that adopted violence and radical change as means to achieve political goals, distant from political parties that were restricted by the law.
This was influenced by the Arab defeat against Israel in the war of 1967, as well as the spread of communist thought among Moroccan youth.
This gave way to the establishment of groups of politically-engaged youth, such as the National Union of Moroccan Students, the Moroccan Communist Party, and the Moroccan Workers' Union.
Additionally, from within the National Union of Popular Forces, a nucleus that would have a major role in forming the March 23 Movement was formed, including Ahmed Herzni, al-Barduzi, Buabid Hamama, Sion Assidon, and Mohamed Lahbib Taleb.
It believed that a revolution—led by a party representing the interests of the proletariat, in order to shift power into the hands of the people—was necessary, particularly as conditions were prime for a revolution.
The organization sought to implement its vision through a 3-step process: first, spreading revolutionary ideas among the general public; second, establishing a popular revolutionary party; third, mobilizing the Moroccan people to seize power.
Although violence was an essential element of the group's creed, it remained limited to speeches as security forces clamped down on the group.
The revolutionary group decided to move toward work within a legal framework, creating the Organization of Popular Democratic Action in 1983.

Just south of Guerguerat the border turns south, bisecting the Ras Nouadhibou peninsula and terminating at its tip on the Atlantic Coast.
The border emerged during the 'Scramble for Africa', a period of intense competition between European powers in the later 19th century for territory and influence in Africa.
The process culminated in the Berlin Conference of 1884, in which the European nations concerned agreed upon their respective territorial claims and the rules of engagements going forward.
As a result of this process, Spain announced its intention to declare a protectorate over the north-west African coast between Cape Bojador and Ras Nouadhibou (Cape Blanco/Cap Blanc), which was formally created as the Rio de Oro colony the following year.
France had been granted control over much of West Africa, including what is now Mauritania, with their territories later federalised as French West Africa.
On 27 June 1900 France and Spain signed a treaty which created a border between Rio de Oro and French West Africa starting at Ras Nouadhibou and terminating at the junction of the 12th meridian west and the 26th parallel north (i.e.
This boundary was then extended by a treaty of 3 October 1904 north up to what is now the tripoint with Algeria and then west along the parallel of 27°40'N, this latter line forming the modern Morocco–Western Sahara border; the new Spanish territory thus formed was named Saguia el-Hamra.
Another Franco-Spanish treaty was signed on 27 November 1912 which created a French protectorate over most of Morocco, whilst ceding parts of the country to Spain viz.
the Mediterranean littoral (the 'Northern Zone', or more commonly Spanish Morocco), the exclave of Ifni and the Cape Juby/Tarfaya Strip (aka the 'Southern Zone'), the latter forming what is now the far south of Morocco proper, between the Draa River and the Saguia el-Hamra border at 27°40'N agreed upon in 1904.
The entire French West Africa-Saguia el Hamara/Rio de Oro boundary was confirmed by treaty on 19 December 1956, with France and Spain then demarcating it on the ground in 1957 with several pillars.
From 1946-58 Spanish Morocco, the Tarfaya Strip, Ifni, Rio de Oro and Saguia el Hamra were united as Spanish West Africa.
Morocco gained independence from France in 1956, including Spanish Morocco (minus the plazas de soberanía which remain part of Spain today).
The newly independent state, inspired by the idea of creating a 'Greater Morocco', claimed all of Spanish West Africa as Moroccan land.
In 1958 Spain merged Rio de Oro and Saguia el-Hamara in 1958 as Spanish Sahara; that same year Spain ceded the Tarfaya Strip to Morocco (via the Treaty of Angra de Cintra).
Morocco then turned its sights to Spanish Sahara, however Mauritania (independent since 1960) also contested the territory, claiming the former colony of Rio de Oro as part of 'Greater Mauritania'.
A railway was built in 1960-63 which paralleled the southern half of the boundary, including an expensive tunnel through an escapement north-west of Choum constructed so as to order to avoid the right-angle of the south-eastern Spanish Sahara.
Saharawi nationalists had meanwhile formed the Polisario, seeking independence for the whole of Spanish Sahara as Western Sahara, and began a low-level guerrilla campaign.
An International Court of Justice ruling on the matter in October 1975 stated that neither the Moroccan nor Mauritanian claims to Western Sahara were strong enough to justify annexation, and that the Saharawi people should be allowed to determine their own future.
Morocco thereafter sought to settle the matter military, and in November 1975 conducted the 'Green March', in which thousands of soldiers and Moroccan nationalists forcibly crossed the Morocco-Spanish Sahara border.
Spain’s dictator Francisco Franco was at this time near-death, and the country was unwilling to respond militarily at such a delicate time, keen to avoid the kind of drawn-out colonial war that had bedevilled Portugal in its African colonies.
Polisario forces declared a Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic based on the boundaries of Spanish Sahara, thus starting a long war against Morocco and Mauritania.
Unwilling to continue the conflict, Mauritania pulled out of their zone in 1979, which was then annexed by Morocco, thereby reinstating the former Mauritania-Western Sahara frontier.
In the 1980s, in an effort to control the territory and stymie the Polisario, Morocco began building a number of elaborate walls (or 'berms'), eventually completing the Moroccan Western Sahara Wall in 1987.
In the south the wall parallels the southern straight line section of the border out to the sea, effectively abandoning the Western Saharan half of the Ras Nouadhibou peninsula; at present Mauritania retains a military presence in the area.
Morocco and Polisario signed a ceasefire agreement in 1991 ending the war; Morocco retained control of areas west of the wall (roughly 80% of Western Sahara), with Polisario controlling those east, which includes the entirety of the Mauritania-Western Sahara boundary.

The Algeria–Western Sahara border is 41 km (26 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Morocco in the north to the tripoint with Mauritania in the south.
France occupied much of the northern coastal areas of Algeria in the period 1830-47, which had hitherto been subject to the nominal control of the Ottoman Empire.

Evander Holyfield vs. Rickey Parkey was a professional boxing match contested on February 14, 1987 for the WBA and IBF cruiserweight title.
After defeating his friend and former Olympic teammate Henry Tillman in his first successful title defense of his WBA cruiserweight title, Evander Holyfield next agreed to a unification bout with IBF cruiserweight champion Rickey Parkey.
The Nevada Athletic Commission had withdrew it's membership from the WBA due to a dispute over two judges the WBA had chosen to score the Holyfield–Tillman fight and also because the WBA continued to recognize fighters from South Africa, a country the commission did not recognize.
As a result, the WBA not only threatened to withdraw it's sanctioning of both the Holyfield–Parkey cruiserweight title fight and the Mike Tyson–Pinklon Thomas heavyweight title fight, but to strip any of it's champions should they chose to fight in Nevada.
On the day of the fight, the WBA announced it would not sanction the fight, but would not strip Holyfield of the title though the title would be declared vacant should Parkey win.
The following day the WBA and Nevada Athletic Commission would end their dispute after the WBA agreed to correct the issues that the commission had, this led the WBA to retroactively sanction the Holyfield–Parkey bout.
After sweeping all three of the judge's scorecards in rounds one and two, Holyfield would bring an end to the fight in the third.
Midway through the round, Holyfield stunned Parkey with consecutive right hands and then swarmed in with a combination that dropped Parkey to the canvas.

As of 2019, almost 15,000 classrooms and over 7,000 scientists from a total of 43 countries have participated in video conferencing sessions.
Sarah McAnulty came up with the idea for Skype a Scientist in 2016 while she was a graduate student in molecular and cell biology at the University of Connecticut in Storrs.
In 2017, McAnulty matched volunteer scientists with teachers and classrooms by hand using a Google spreadsheet, which she shared repeatedly on Twitter and Tumblr.
She collected information from scientists and teachers and matched them based on their timezones and type of scientist requested if available.
As the program grew, McAnulty recruited her childhood friend, David Jenkins, a graduate student in bioinformatics at Boston University, to write an algorithm that could match scientists with classrooms automatically.
Instead of a lecture, the video calls are informal question and answer sessions that last between 30 minutes and 1 hour.

Figuerism or Figuerismo is a political and ideological movement in Costa Rica of democratic socialism initiated by the controversial figure of José Figueres Ferrer, who exercised the presidency of Costa Rica on three occasions; as de facto ruler after the Costa Rican revolution between 1948 and 1949 and then as democratically elected president twice: 1953-1958 and 1970-1974.
Several Costa Rican political parties proclaim themselves as continuators of figuerism and as their most faithful representatives, among them the National Liberation Party, Citizens' Action Party and the Patriotic Alliance, all of whom pay homage to the figure of José Figueres and have personalities in their ranks close to the former president Figueres and of figuerist extraction.
The centenary of his birth on September 25, 2006 was celebrated both by the government chaired by Oscar Arias of the National Liberation Party and in the Legislative Assembly by then main opposition force of the Citizen Action Party.
José Figueres Ferrer proclaimed himself adherent of utopian socialism and developed a particularly Creole and native form of Costa Rican socialism difficult to define in international standards.
In 1953, the Center for the Study of National Problems and Democratic Action merged, giving birth to the National Liberation Party with Figueres as its first candidate and also its first democratically elected president.
The figuerismo is not synonymous with liberationism, that is, the ideology that revolves around the National Liberation Party which has a varied archipelago of internal tendencies.
Other figures such as former deputy and former first lady Karen Olsen Beck and Figueres Ferrer's daughter, Muni Figueres, are still PLN members.
PLN's main rival, the Citizens' Action Party was founded by different personalities largely from the PLN, PAC has/had among its members personalities close to the figure, as one of its founders was writer Alberto Cañas Escalante who was close to Figueres Ferrer and former first lady Josette Altmann Borbón who was his daughter-in-law and wife of Figueres Olsen.
Another figuerista is President Luis Guillermo Solís Rivera who left the PLN for the PAC following the disagreement with the support of the party to CAFTA.
Solís Rivera used to belong to the figuerista trend along with Mariano Figueres Olsen (also Figueres Ferrer's son and president of the Patriotic Alliance party) and both left the ranks of the PLN at the same time, adhering to different but allied parties.
The Marshal of the Soviet Union K. K. Rokossovsky Far Eastern Higher Combined Arms Command School (), also known by its abbreviation DVOKU (), is a military academy of the Russian Armed Forces.
Established on 11 February 1940 as the Vladivostok Infantry School, the Far Eastern Higher Combined Arms Command School is one of the oldest military educational establishments in Russia.
Opening shortly before the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union, it went on to train infantry company and platoon commanders during the war.
Graduates saw action in many of the military theatres during the war, many of them receiving awards and honours for their service.
The school continued to train officers after the war, relocating from Vladivostok to Blagoveshchensk in 1949, and undergoing several changes of name in the following years.
It received several awards from the Soviet and later Russian governments, and has trained some 26,000 graduates who have served in many warzones across the world, have received honours including the titles Hero of the Soviet Union and Hero of the Russian Federation, and attained high military ranks.
In 2013 the school introduced an Arctic warfare specialisation, and since 2010 it has provided secondary vocational education for warrant officers.
Cadets and staff of the naval infantry training units have taken part in long-distance voyages aboard Russian warships in European, South Korean and Middle Eastern waters.
Those training with Arctic specialisations have deployed with the 200th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade and the 61st Naval Infantry Brigade, part of the Northern Fleet Joint Strategic Command.
Mountain warfare officers undertake training at facilities in Russia's mountain regions, and also carry out visits to similar regions in India, Germany and Switzerland.

The first class of 790 students graduated on 16 June 1941, a month before the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union.
To meet the demands of the war, on 16 December 1941 the school initiated its two-month advanced training courses for infantry company and platoon commanders.
The school's students and graduates went on to take part in a number of the battles during the war, with around 2,000 graduates serving at the defence of Moscow and the subsequent counterattacks.
In 1942 two cadet rifle brigades (the 248th and 250th) were formed from officers, cadets and soldiers of the school, and were deployed to the Steppe and Leningrad Fronts.
23 officer graduates of the school received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union during the war, with several thousand receiving some form of order or decoration.
On 11 February 1944 the school was awarded the Order of the Red Banner and the diploma of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet.
The school continued in existence after the war, and in September 1949 was relocated from Vladivostok to Blagoveshchensk, becoming the Blagoveshchensk Infantry School.
As part of the 1967 celebrations of the October Revolution, the school was awarded the Memorial Banner of the Central Committee of the Communist Party.

On 24 December 2008 it became part of the All-Russian Research Centre for the Military Aviation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, though it was again separated on 28 April 2015 and placed under the direct control of the Ministry of Defence.
The school originated as a centre for training command personnel in a short period of time, achieved by reducing the number of subjects taught, and lengthening the teaching day from ten hours to twelve.
With the demands of the Second World War, from 16 December 1941 the school offered advanced two-month training courses for company commanders and platoon commanders.
Since the Second World War graduates of the school have served during the Sino-Soviet border conflict and Soviet–Afghan War and in Vietnam, Egypt, Syria, Laos, Cuba, the North Caucasus region, and South Ossetia.
Notable graduates include Major General Yuri Viktorovich Kuznetsov, awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union for his service in Afghanistan, who returned to become head of the school from March 1993 to November 2002.
Over a hundred graduates have gone on to hold senior military ranks, including Army Generals Viktor Samsonov, and , and Colonel Generals and Valery Belyaev.
In 2013 the school was recognized as the best military educational institution of the Russian Ground Forces, and was awarded the challenge cup of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Ground Forces.

The Teacup galaxy, also known as the Teacup AGN or SDSS J1430+1339 is a low redshift type 2 quasar, showing extended loop of ionized gas resembling a handle of a teacup, which was discovered by volunteers of the Galaxy Zoo project and labeled as a Voorwerpje.
The Teacup galaxy is dominated by a bulge and has a asymmetric structure with a shell-like structure and a tidal tail.
Observations with the Gran Telescopio Canarias showed that the Teacup Galaxy has a giant reservoir of ionized gas extending up to 111 kpc.
The loop is dominated by emission lines, such as hydrogen alpha and doubly ionized oxygen, which gives the loop seen in SDSS images a purple color.
The emission of [O II] is extremely strong in the Teacup AGN and the quasar 3C 48 shows a similar [O II]/Hβ ratio.
The study also found a bright emission towards the north-east of the AGN, which is consistent with high-velocity ionized gas (-740 km/s).
The Chandra data also show evidence for hotter gas within the bubble, which may imply that a wind of material is blowing away from the black hole.

Francis James McGarry (11 July 1897 – 21 November 1955) was a Catholic lay missionary and Protector of Aborigines who was instrumental in the establishment and day-to-day management of the Little Flower Mission in Central Australia.
McGarry was born on 11 July 1897 in Wagga Wagga in New South Wales, the younger of twins and sixth child, born to John McGarry, a butcher, and his wife Catherine Elizabeth, née Jones.
When his father dies the family moved to Sydney where they settled in Manly and McGarry attended Marist Brothers' High School in Darlinghurst.
Following this, on 28 July 1917, he enlisted in the First Australian Imperial Force in through which he served in the 45th Battalion in France, from August 1918, where his main role was as a truck driver.
Following his return, in 1922, McGarry joined the St Vincent De Paul Society where, from 1926, he was a weekly visitor at the Leprosarium at Little Bay, New South Wales; an act that he hid from many people due to concerns about his contact with the infectious disease.
On these visits McGarry offered to give pastoral care as well as delivering requested items, such as books and newspapers, to inmates.
McGarry moved to the Northern Territory in 1935 to assist Father P. J. Moloney in establishing the Little Flower Mission, which began in Alice Springs.
In the very early days, the mission was on Bath Street, in the centre of Alice Springs, although it soon moved to the banks of Charles Creek, nearby the Alice Springs Telegraph Station, then operating as The Bungalow.
McGarry worked alongside local Arrernte men to build the mission here; this included erecting combined church and school and Wurlies, a form of humpies, for accommodating families.
During this period McGarry fed, clothed and taught Aboriginal children at the mission and he is remembered for not allowing the children to speak their Arrernte language and his belief that he was working quietly towards the elimination of adherence to Arrernte cultural practices, believing that they conflicted with his Christianity.
Examples of this is that McGarry expelled men and women found to be in polygamous relationships from the mission camp and believed that boys initiation rites, men's business, were excessively brutal and that the process made it more difficult for them to accept Christianity.
This resistance and rejection of cultural practices was in direct contradiction to the advice of Charles Duguid, who inspired the mission after sharing his condemnation of the way that Aboriginal people were treated in Alice Springs following a visit there in 1934: Duguid encouraged missionaries to respect local language and culture.
In these early years McGarry also obtained most of the mission's food by seeking donations and bargaining for goods in Alice Springs as well as from family and the St Vincent de Paul Society.
In April 1938 teaching duties were taken from McGarry, who had been teaching for three hours every day, when the Sisters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart took over the running of the school.
McGarry found this transition very difficult and tried to maintain influence over the school; causing considerable tension with the sisters and the missionary community.
In 1942, following the bombing of Darwin, Alice Springs became a major army staging base and the mission was ordered to relocate to Arltunga, 110 km (68 miles) east of Alice Springs, which was, at this time, a former mining town.
To complete this move, which took two years, McGarry was responsible for looking for water, building roads and escorting people to the new location.
However, when the move was completed in March 1944 McGarry was told that his services were no longer required; the reason for this is not clear but it is suggested that it was due to McGarry's poor relationship with the sisters.
In September 1944 McGarry accepted a position with the Northern Territory's Native Affairs Branch, initially as a patrol officer; a position that he had been offered earlier.
In 1946, after a number of more short-term roles, McGarry was posted as superintendent of the newly established Yuendumu settlement, delivering rations and welfare services to Warlpiri and Anmatyerre people who had been displaced from their homelands and traditional food sources.
This position was, however, short-lived with McGarry being asked to step down from the role in 1948 (although he was told that he could apply for the role of the assistant).
This may have been due to enforcement of the policy that only married men could be employed as superintendent or that McGarry's attitude to the arrival of Baptist missionaries was problematic.
Following his resignation McGarry returned to Sydney where he worked as a salesman at an auctioneers in Manly before becoming a night-watchman in order to keep his days free for charity work at the St Vincent de Paul opportunity shop.

A Fujian gang () is a crime syndicate, such as a triad gang, composed of Fujianese people; the term primarily refers to Fujianese immigrant gangs in Hong Kong.
Prior to the 1960s, there had already been a large exodus of Fujianese people from the Chinese Mainland into North Point; the Fujianese later supported left-wing labour associations and students during the 1967 riots, in which the Hua Feng Chinese Goods store served as the command centre for the leftist faction.
Between the Qing Dynasty and the reform and opening-up of the People's Republic of China, many residents of the Chinese mainland, including residents of the city of Fuqing, Fujian, smuggled themselves out of China.
The associations later evolved into the Fuqing Gang (), also called the Fulong Gang, a crime syndicate that became active internationally and monopolized underground casinos in Tokyo as its main source of income.
Hong Kong media reports indicate that the Fuqing Gang has links to the Japanese Yakuza, the American Mafia, and Triads operating in Mainland China and collaborates with them in the operation of underground casinos and the trafficking of illegal drugs in East Asia.
In the same year, a similar assault on protestors occurred on 11 August in North Point, in which some assailants identified themselves as Chinese or Fujianese.
Following the violent assaults on protestors, several unknown individuals attacked Chinese state-run enterprises and businesses run by Fujianese individuals in Hong Kong.
Among the businesses targeted was Best Mart 360, whose founder's links to Fujianese community associations led to vandalism, arson attacks, and looting targeting the company's approximately 360 stores.
At the time of the violent incidents, the executive leader of the Hong Kong Liaison Office was Wang Zhimin from Xianyou, Fujian.
A former member of the People's Liberation Army, Wang is suggested by media reports to have deep ties with Fujian gangs.
In January 2020, Wang was recalled by the State Council of the People's Republic of China and replaced with Luo Huining.

Iranian Land Reform was a major land reform in Iran and one of the main concerns of the White Revolution of 1963.
It was a significant part of the reform program of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and occurred when the existing feudal system was abolished and the arable land redistributed from large landowners to smaller agricultural workers.
A main element of this was the implementation of a land reform programs designed to change the ownership structure of agricultural land.
Before the land reform, 70% of the arable land was owned by a small elite of large landowners or religious foundations.
There was no official land register yet rather the land ownership was documented by means of title deeds whereby the document did not represent a specific measured area of ​​land but a village and the land belonging to the village.
Before the land reform 50% of Iranian agricultural land was in the hands of large landowners, 20% belonged to charitable or religious foundations, 10% was owned by the state or owned by the crown and only 20% belonged to free farmers.
Before the land reform began 18,000 villages had been recorded of which the land would be divided among the farmers living in the village<ref>.

But I. J. Sanders states that Hugh's lands were divided after his death and does not mention any forfeiture of the lands.
It is possible that the Hugh fitz Baldric that was a witness on a charter of Robert Curthose's in 1089 is the same person as the former sheriff.

Shout Out UK have gained media attention for running the 2015 Youth Leaders' Debate, in partnership with Channel 4 and their collaboration with UK Drill artist Drillminister to encourage young people to vote in the 2019 General Election.
The New Statesman have named Shout Out UK's Political Literacy course as one methods of reviving political education in the UK.
Shout Out UK gathered all of the youth leaders of the seven major British political parties in one place to debate politics and youth issues in front of a studio audience and Live-streamed through All4, an online platform owned by Channel 4 News on the 28th April 2015.
The Youth Leaders Debate, hosted by Fatima Manji from Channel 4 News, differed from the main 2015 leaders' Debate by introducing buzzers.
Seven themes were presented to the panellists, each had one chance to 'buzz in' and have one minute protected time for one question only.
Shout Out UK's Political literacy course covers an Introduction to the Politics of the United Kingdom, International Relations (including brief overviews of the European Union, NATO and United Nations), Media Literacy, debating and public speaking.
The course ends with a Speech Night, during which students deliver speeches on issues they are passionate about in front of their parents/carers and local/regional/national politicians hosted at the school.
The organisation aims to enhance students’ ability to influence local policymaking, to engage in activism and to build their overall Emotional Resilience and Confidence.

Werner Decker (* 16 July 193*; † 12 June 2017) was a Swiss footballer who played for FC Concordia Basel, FC Zürich and FC Basel and the Swiss amateur national team.
Decker started his youth career by Concordia and at the age of 20 he advanced to their first team who at that time played in the Nationalliga B, the second highest tier of Swiss football.
On the 16 October 1960 Concordia played as underdogs in the first round of the Swiss Cup against FC Basel and Decker scored the winning goal as Concordia won 2–1.
The two of them then played just two games together for their new Club, the 10–1 test game on 4 August 1962 win against FC Breite and the 1–9 championship defeat on 26 August against Lausanne-Sport (Hugi one championship game more) and then they both left the Club, Hügi to FC Porrentruy and Decker to returned to Concordia.
Between the years 1964 and 1968 Decker played a total of 42 games for Basel first team scoring a total of three goals.
Nine of these games were in the Nationalliga A, two in the Swiss Cup, eight in the Cup of the Alps, four in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup and 19 were friendly games.
During the following years he was also trainer of some local teams, amongst others FC Pratteln, before again returning for a second spell at Concordia.
Even during his terms of management of all the other the local teams, Decker remained as youth trainer or simply as coach for many and various Concordia youth teams.
In the early 1980s, he brought Ertan Irizik to Concordia first team and offered him an apprenticeship in his metal construction company Decker & Co. At some point he brought Irizik's half brother Murat Yakin into first team training, later Hakan.
He was long time owner, together with his first wife Johanna, of his own firm the metal construction company Decker & Co. in Münchenstein until his retirement in 2011.

Aamer Khan (born 19 September 1962) is a British cosmetic surgeon, author, television personality, radio host, and keynote speaker, and is best known for being the medical director, lead physician, and co-owner of The Harley Street Skin Clinic.
He was raised in a Muslim household, and his father was a university lecturer who lectured in both English and Politics.
He first attended the Holy Family Catholic School, and then went to John Smeaton Middle School and Ralph Thoresby School Sixth Form.
Outside of his studies, Khan was involved in athletics from a young age, and was elected for his middle school’s rugby team at age 12.
In sixth form he continued to play rugby but took a specific interest in long-distance running, sprinting, long jump and the triple jump.
In September 1981, Khan began his studies at the University of Birmingham, graduating with MB ChB (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) in July 1986.
His post-graduate training took place across multiple subjects: his house jobs in surgery and medicine took place at University Hospitals Birmingham, the General Hospital and at Selly Oak Hospital.
The previous medical career positions he held include Registrar in General Practice (from 1990 to 1991), clinical tutor at the University of Birmingham (from 1991 to 1995), and Physician in Charge at the BUPA Wellness programme (from 1998 to 2005).
His current medical career includes a PCT contract (from 1996), a position as a director of the South Doc Services (from 1996 to 2009), a position as an associate specialist (from 1996 to 2008), a position as a medical director (from 2004-2008), and a position as the principal in General Practice in Bournville, Birmingham (from 1996).
Aside from working in the UK, Khan has also worked in China (on a non-permanent basis) in medicine, and Khan and Reynolds have worked with American pharmaceutical companies to form a distributorship for DCL (Data Conversion Laboratory) and DDF (Drug Delivery & Formulation) to bring products to the UK.
He has authored a book on the latter subject, and discusses these topics in his regular appearances on the television and radio, and in his key-note speeches and newspaper columns.
In 2004, Khan set up The Harley Street Skin Clinic with wife, Lesley Reynolds, becoming its medical director, managing director, and lead physician.
The alleged offer would place a practitioner’s own financial interests above the medical needs of the patients, potentially leaving them open to poor clinical care.
Khan also faced a hearing at the General Medical Council after one of the patients claimed that he failed to obtain the proper consent from them prior to sedation and carrying out the surgery.
It was claimed that he prescribed a dose of Midazolam that was outside of the recommended amount for the patient, and failed to provide adequate care after the operation.
He has spoken at the annual FACE Conference (2005, 2008 and 2009), Aesthetic Medicine Live, Aesthetic Medicine North, ACE, CCR, IMCAS Paris, IAAFA (2009), and CODE (2008 and 2009).
In 2012, Khan and Reynolds were approached by a soldier injured in war for assistance with the physical effects of his injuries.
They focused on not just the physical scarring, but also the psychological effects of military service: as injured soldiers are discharged on a basic pension, emotional and mental suffering are common for those affected by service.
Khan and Reynolds thus sought to encourage the soldier in his passion for driving and karting, and focused on an integrative approach to health and rehabilitation into society.
The charity aims to provide the help not available at Headley Court or on the NHS, and the cosmetic surgery and laser treatment they provide is free of charge for those with shrapnel wounds, blast injuries and burns.
He also spends his spare time reading about genomic medicine and how to improve the general health of the nation, both of which are areas of medicine he specialises in.
On 20 April 2018, Khan received the Health and Rehabilitation award from the British Armed Forces thanks to his charity work for injured veterans.
The Harley Street Skin Clinic was named the Best London Skin Clinic of 2019, the Skin Clinic Of The Year London 2018 (at the Lux: Health, Beauty and Wellness Awards), and Editor’s Choice 2017 for the clinic’s Restorative Miracle Serum (at the Best London Skin Clinic of 2019).
The season was produced by Gristmill Productions with Screen Australia in association with Film Victoria and Australian Children's Television Foundation (ACTF).

Season 1 is written by Robyn Butler, Wayne Hope, Molly Daniels, Lisa Marie Corso, Maddy Butler, Jayden Masciulli, Bob Franklin, and directed by Wayne Hope, Robyn Butler, Ian Reiser and Nina Buxton.
His mother wanted him to be influenced from a special project, and Mr. Mcgilick says he is taking care of the school's new student, Maudie Miller, and he, Ava and Kyle are impressed with her intelligence that was able to solve a case without question.
This brings the four together and merges an investigative agency called The Inbestigators to solve crimes at school and in the neighbourhood.
At first, they were underestimated by adults for being children, so they always impress them with their cleverness and advanced investigative skills.
In the middle of the season, Maudie loses her special notebook, which she uses for writing the clues for all cases and more things, and gets possessive desperate.
She reveals some photos along with her mom, who died when Maudie was only a child and was one of her last moments before the tragedy.
In the season finale, Maudie is 11 years old and Ava is shocked to realize that Maudie has never had a birthday party.
Meanwhile, the Inbestigators set out to solve a case at the behest of Mauide's father Brian Miller, who missed a letter from a conference in Hong Kong.
Maudie discovers that it was a case invented by Ezra, Ava and Kyle like a form to celebrate her birthday and at the same time, Ava reveals having a surprise party at Maudie's house and she considers it the best day of her life.
In June 2018, was announced the cast for the series, starring Abby Bergman as Ava Andrikides, Aston Droomer as Ezra Banks, Anna Cooke as Maudie Miller and Jamil Smyth-Secka as Kyle Klimson in the main cast.

The renovations were the first phase in a project that would have added a casino and hotel tower, although these plans also did not materialize.
Alexis Park opened on July 2, 1984, with 500 rooms, all of them suites and located in a series of white-colored motel buildings.
The 19-acre Alexis Park featured a Mediterranean theme with a country club setting, including greenery and palm trees, waterfalls and streams, and fake boulders.
Alexis Park was built just east of the Las Vegas Strip, and the resort offered free bus shuttle service to the Strip.
Alexis Park also became particularly popular with local residents who would make advanced reservations to stay at the hotel on weekends.
In 1998, Alexis Park made an offer to purchase the adjacent 208-unit Americana Inn apartment complex, located west of the resort, with plans to convert it into a hotel building that would connect to Alexis Park.
No other major resorts were interested in hosting the event, and Alexis Park subsequently hosted other gay events, developing a reputation as a gay friendly property.
As of 2004, Alexis Park had of meeting space, and the hotel had been used as a venue by the Consumer Electronics Show to demonstrate music systems.
In 1999, the resort sued Clark County, Nevada, alleging that a new north-south runway at McCarran International Airport had resulted in noise disturbances for its guests.
The lawsuit also stated that the resort's air space easement had been reduced from 90 feet to 39 feet, preventing any possible construction of additional floors.
In 2003, Alexis Park agreed to put its case on hold until an appeal could be heard on a related case involving a nearby property owner.
In the early 2000s, Richard Alter, of the Los Angeles-based Financial Capital Investment Company, was interested in buying a Las Vegas resort.
Alter said that Habash had many plans for the property but never proceeded with them due to a lack of financing.
The project would also include the demolition of the apartments, to be replaced with a casino, timeshare, and 15-story condo hotel.
During 2004, Alter made various improvements at the resort, including a new $500,000 glass wall entrance, a new lobby, and new hotel furniture.
At the end of 2004, Alter acquired a former mobile home park on 4.7 acres located behind the Americana, at a cost of $10 million.
The project was designed by Joel Bergman, and would also include a 1,500-space parking garage, to be built on the site of the former mobile home park.
Sachiko Eto (born August 21, 1947 - September 27, 2012), known as The Drumstick Killer, was a Japanese cult leader and serial killer, responsible for six murders in Sukugawa between 1994 and 1995.
According to several scholars, the portico would have been located roughly in the center of today's via della Conciliazione; according to others, however, it would have had the same layout as the future Borgo Vecchio.
An indication in favor of the last hypothesis is Borgo Vecchio's width, which was almost everywhere constant with a value of 6.90 m. However, despite the many accounts, during the demolition works for the erection of via della Conciliazione nothing was found hinting to the existence of a covered passage.
The popes always took great care of this path; pope Adrian I (r. 772-95) had more than 12,000 blocks of tufa extracted from the Tiber, widening and repairing the road; Paschal I (r. 817-24) and Leo IV (r. 847-855) carried out restorations after the two terrible fires that devastated Borgo; pope Innocent II (r. 1130-43) renewed the tile roofing of the road.
Assuming that the Portica existed, it should have collapsed during this period, and was never restored, since the popes understood well that any covered passage could have been a precious shelter for enemies trying to assault the castle and to reach the bridge.
Until the begin of the Renaissance Borgo Vecchio and Borgo S. Spirito were the only roads which allowed pilgrims coming from the left bank to reach Saint Peter.
The construction of these two roads solved the traffic problems between the city and Saint Peter, causing in turn the neglection of Borgo Vecchio, which was relegated to the role of a local road.
Due to its diminished importance, the road was less touched than the nearby Borgo Nuovo by the building flurry during the high renaissance: however, some new buildings were erected in that period also there.
In front of the church of Santa Maria in Traspontina, Antonio da Sangallo the younger erected between Borgo Vecchio and Borgo Nuovo the Palazzo delle Prigioni di Borgo, originally designed as home of Protonotary apostolic Giovanni dal Pozzo, and later converted into jail.
The palace was demolished in 1937, but its portal was reused in a new building erected by Marcello Piacentini at Via della Conciliazione n 15.
121-22, which until its demolition showed the coat of arms of the cardinal above its gate, and the oratory of San Sebastiano at Scossacavalli, a dependency of the nearby church of San Giacomo, whose construction began in 1600 and whose façade remained unfinished.
Behind San Sebastiano the road led to Piazza Scossacavalli, whose southern side hosted the palazzo erected by Baccio Pontelli on behalf of Cardinal Domenico della Rovere, nephew of Sixtus IV, now part of the south side of Via della Conciliazione.
The house between Borgo Vecchio and the southwest corner of the piazza hosted in the 15th century two deposed queens: Catherine of Bosnia, which lived there in 1477-78, and Charlotte of Cyprus.
Further west, on the north side, the Cybo, a noble family which reached the papal seat with Pope Innocent VIII (r. 1484-92), erected their houses at the end of the 15th century.
In front of them Francesco Armellini Medici, cardinal of San Callisto, let build its palace, which was later bought by the Cesi family.
In 1788, at the behest of pope Pius VI (r. 1775-99), the hospital of San Carlo, a branch of the hospital of Santo Spirito in Sassia, was built on the south side of the eastern part of Borgo Vecchio.
The large building (it was more than 100 m long), later used as a military hospital both under the Pope and after 20 September 1870, was demolished in 1939.
Anyway, at the fall of Napoleon only the first house at the east end of the road had been demolished, and after the come back of the Pope the previous situation was restored.
At the east end of the spina between Borgo Vecchio and Borgo Nuovo, in 1850 a new building, palazzo Sauve, was erected; this replaced a house which had been pulled down during the roman Republic of 1849.
The attentators, Giuseppe Monti and Gaetano Tognetti, two Romans seeking the unification of their city with the Kingdom of Italy, were hanged.
During the 19th century, several buildings of the eastern part of the street until Piazza Scossacavalli underwent restructuring, while the western part could keep its character.At the eve of its disappearance, Borgo Vecchio was a quiet and secluded quarter road, lacking the artistic buildings and the shops of the nearby Borgo nuovo.
This resolution, taken because of reasons of perspective and to avoid the demolition of the Palazzo dei Penitenzieri, facing the south side of Piazza Scossacavalli and parallel to the south side of Borgo Vecchio, allowed the survival of some among the road's main buildings, such as the Palazzi Cesi Armellini and Serristori.
The Brazilian municipal elections of 2020 will take place on 4 October 2020 and on 25 October 2020 (for cities with more than 200,000 voters, where the second round is available).
According to the calendar, the first round will take place on October 4, and the second round, on October 25, from 8 am to 5 pm in both cases.
The 2020 municipal elections will be the first since the general elections of 2018, since they will be the rise of bolsonarism, a movement in support of President Jair Bolsonaro, also, so a new political-electoral dynamic is emerging on the political scene and, in a way, will be an assessment of the President's electoral strength.
The 2018 general elections, in addition to choosing the President of the Republic, the Governors of State and the Federal District, Senators and Federal, State and District Deputies, granted new Mayors to many cities in the country.
14, §6, of the Constitution, establish that:To run for other positions, the President of the Republic, the State and Federal District Governors and the Mayors must resign their respective mandates up to six months before the election.
- Article 14, §6, of the Constitution of the Federative Republic of BrasilThus, many Mayors, wishing to run for other positions, had to resign their mandate until April 5, 2018, starting a new management in such Municipalities.
Of the Mayors mentioned above, only one was successful, João Dória, the others, in addition to not winning the elections they disputed, lost their positions as Mayor.
II - election of the Mayor and the Vice-Mayor held on the first Sunday of October of the year preceding the end of the mandate of those who must succeed, applying the rules of art.
- Article 29 of the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil.The election of the President and Vice-President of the Republic will take place, simultaneously, on the first Sunday of October, in the first round, and on the last Sunday of October, in the second round, if any, of the previous year.
The candidate who, registered by a political party, obtains an absolute majority of votes will be considered elected, not counting the blank and null votes.
If no candidate reaches an absolute majority in the first vote, a new election will be held within twenty days after the result is proclaimed, with the two most voted candidates running and the one with the most valid votes being considered elected.
If, before the second round takes place, death, withdrawal or legal impediment of a candidate occurs, the one with the most votes will be called, among the remainder.
If, in the hypothesis of the previous paragraphs, more than one candidate with the same vote remains in second place, the oldest will be qualified.
The election for City Councils uses the system of proportional representation by open list, however, unlike previous elections, there will be no formation of coalitions for Municipal Legislative Powers, so each party will form a separate list.
In 2016, following the EU Regulation 1143/2014 on Invasive Alien Species, the European Commission published a first list of 37 IAS of Union concern.

The battle took place in three different locations between French troops under the command of general Jean-Charles Pichegru and Coalition forces.
The latter, the Allies, consisted of troops from Great Britain and a French Armée des émigrés force under the Prince of Rohan.
The Allies had fortified themselves in outposts behind the Oude Wetering canal and the dykes of the Maas and Waal rivers.
On 19 October, they attacked the Coalition outposts in three locations: near Appeltern (Blauwe Sluis), Altforst and the Waal dyke near Druten (Puiflijk).
They were brought before a French military court in Ravenstein 21 October 1794, where they were condemned to death and executed for 'treason'.
The English forces were driven back in great disorder; in the action on the Waal dyke, the standard of the 37th English infantry regiment was captured by the Sans-culottes.
On 10 August 2017, the Battle of Puiflijk was re-enacted on a small scale by a team of actors with the help of the citizens of Puiflijk.

Peter Sospenzo (born December 23, 1956) is an American professional stock car racing crew chief, currently working with Spire Motorsports in the NASCAR Cup Series.
A former NASCAR Busch Series and ARCA Permatex SuperCar Series driver, Sospenzo began working as a crew chief in 1994 with Rich Bickle.
From 1994 to 1997, he worked with Phil Parsons, Joe Ruttman, Lake Speed, Loy Allen Jr., Mike Wallace, and Gary Bradberry.
He later joined Penske-Kranefuss Racing, taking over as Jeremy Mayfield's crew chief during the 1999 season after Paul Andrews was fired.
In 2000, Sospenzo and Mayfield won two races, though the former was also subject to penalties during the year for various infractions.
In May, he was fined following Mayfield's win at California Speedway for a roof height violation, followed by a four-race suspension for using illegal fuel additives during the Talladega Superspeedway race in April.
The following year, the two won at Richmond International Speedway; Nemechek rebounded from a pit miscommunication that dropped him to 25th by taking the lead late in the race and was declared the winner when the event was shortened by rain.
He reunited with Nemechek at Ginn Racing in 2007, but was released when the team merged with Dale Earnhardt, Inc. in July.
A stint at Team Xtreme Racing in 2015 saw his final race as a Cup crew chief—the 2015 Daytona 500 with Reed Sorenson—until 2018.
In addition to being Haley and Spire's first Cup victories, it was Sospenzo's first since the coincidentally also-rain-shortened 2003 Richmond victory with Nemechek.

She has served as the chief legal council to the National Assembly, helped draft the 1987 Consitution of Nicaragua, and founded the Carlos Núñez Téllez Center for Constitutional Rights.
She was one of the founders of the Asociación de Mujeres ante la Problemática Nacional (Association of Women Concerned about National Crisis, AMPRONAC), which later became the Asociación de Mujeres Nicaragüenes Luisa Amanda Espinoza (Luisa Amanda Espinoza Association of Nicaraguan Women, AMNLAE) and remained on its board for many years.
A radical feminist, who believed that equal rights should prevail for men and women, she was outspoken against the antisodomy law passed by the legislature in 1992.
María de Lourdes Fatima Vargas Escobar, known as Milú Vargas, was born in 1950 in Managua, Nicaragua to Otilia Escobar and Gustavo Adolfo Vargas López.
She had three older brothers and two much younger siblings from her father's remarriage after her mother's death when Vargas was seven.
After completing her law degree, she married and then in 1973 did her graduate studies, obtaining a constitutional law degree from the University of Pittsburgh in the United States.
In 1977, when the FSLN decided to establish a women's organization, Vargas was recruited by Lea Guido and became a founding member of the Asociación de Mujeres ante la Problemática Nacional (Association of Women Concerned about National Crisis, AMPRONAC).
About the same time, she began a relationship with Carlos Núñez Téllez, who was a high-ranking member and though still married, had been separated from his first wife.
By 1982, she was working for the state, as the chief legal council for the National Assembly but was still denied party membership, as the examiners believed that she was using her relationship with Nuñez to acquire her own power.
Vargas, who had continued to serve on the executive board of AMRPONAC, which had become the Asociación de Mujeres Nicaragüenes Luisa Amanda Espinoza (Luisa Amanda Espinoza Association of Nicaraguan Women, AMNLAE) began to feel that the organization was not sufficiently addressing the real issues faced by women, such as family planning, motherhood, violence, unequal pay, and discrimination against women.
Their platform wanted to empower not only women but all marginalized people and aimed at political reform to combat the sexism that had become ingrained in Daniel Ortega's campaign.
Near the end of the election in 1987, PIE members put their support behind the FSLN, but had gained enough influence to press for modifications to the Constitution.
Vargas led the drive to draft the new constitution and was successful in expanding women's rights and gender equality in the newly framed document.
By 1990, she began advocating for a separation between the FSLN and AMNLAE to enable and empower the women in the movement to make their own decisions and implement their own plans of action.
Because the organization received no funding from the FSLN, the organization was able to coordinate actions with a broader network of women's organizations, who might not have the same political goals.
Whereas AMNLAE focused on policies formed in conjunction with FSLN protocols, CONAPRO H-M, under Vargas' direction focused on existing law and interpretations of the constitution, organizing international conferences to study women and law.
The organization published a newspaper and operated a radio program to disseminate new ideas about what roles women had in society.
Using the language of the Sandinista revolutionaries, Vargas argued that women's involvement in politics was a fight against oppression and subordination which could redefine personhood, benefitting both men and women.
In the 1990 elections, Vargas was elected to the National Assembly as an alternate and was appointed as the Ministry of Health's legal advisor.
That year, her husband died and she founded the Carlos Núñez Téllez Center for Constitutional Rights in 1991, serving as its president.
In 1992, she and others from the Center for Constitutional Rights began working on the reform of the statues dealing with rape and sodomy in Nicaragua, as part of the Commission on Women, Youth, Children and the Family established across party lines by the administration of President Violeta Chamorro.
The goals of Vargas and the other women were to broaden the definition of rape, increase the penalties for the crime, legalize abortion for rape victims and delete the penalties for consensual sodomy from the legal code.
In her proposed reforms to the sexual statutes, Vargas insisted that there be recognition that both men and women could be perpetrators or victims of sexual crimes.
Heated debate followed, and though many of the reforms were adopted as Vargas had proposed them, decriminalization of abortion for rape victims and consensual sodomy did not become part of the revised penal code.
Instead, the changes to the portion of the code that dealt with sodomy were amended to provide vague language and penalties that could apply to activists working on behalf of LGBT communities.
The Center for Constitutional Rights immediately filed a brief, challenging the constitutionality of Article 204, but the law was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1994.
She earned her doctorate in Constitutional Law at the Charles III University of Madrid and obtained a master's degree in sexuality and human relations from the Universidad de Alcalá de Henares, studying with Fina Sanz.

From 1957, he was lecturer in Archaeological Technology at the University of London Institute of Archaeology, working alongside Ione Gedye, who had started the teaching of conservation there.
Gedye and Hodges combined the study of chemistry, archaeology, and ancient materials and technology with methods of conservation treatment, alongside practical work on excavated and museum objects.
Having established an international reputation, Hodges was invited to become Professor of Artifacts Conservation at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada; there, he succeeded in linking archaeological conservation with an existing programme dedicated to preservation of paper and paintings.

The union's origins lie in four unions active before World War II: the National Union of Rail, Post, Telegraph, Telephone, Maritime and Aviation, the Belgian Union of Public Service Employees, the Union of Socialist Teaching Staff and the National Union of Civilian National Defense Staff.
These unions ceased to operate during the war, but various branches survived and in 1942 they formed the General Association of Public Services (ASOD).
At a conference on 28 and 29 April, it merged ASOD with several recently-created unions of government workers, to form ACOD.

The Mali–Mauritania border is 2,236 km (1,389 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Algeria in the north to the tripoint with Senegal in the south-west.
The border starts in the north at the tripoint with Algeria, and then proceeds westwards in a straight line along the 25th parallel north for 172 km (107 m).
It then turns south-east in a long straight segment of some 955 km (593 m), followed by a much shorter straight line further to the south-east for 34 km (21 m), and a straight line to south-west for 94 km (59 m), before veering sharply to the west along a horizontal line for some 409 km (254 m).
The border then briefly shifts northwards, creating a small protrusion of Malian territory encompassing the towns of Labidi and Debai Amati.
Following this, the border then continues westwards via series of irregular lines, as well as following some streams such as the Oumm el Bohoro and the Ouadou.
It eventually reaches the Kolinbiné River, which it follows down to confluence with the Senegal River; the boundary then follows the latter west to the tripoint with Senegal.

Ripon Parks is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, or SSSI, situated north of Ripon, to the west of the River Ure and to the east of the village of North Stainley, in North Yorkshire, England.
It was once part of the land held since the Middle Ages as a deer park by the archbishops of York and bishops of Ripon.
The site was designated as an SSSI in 1983, because its varied habitats are valued for their breeding birds, amphibians and varied flora.
The site incorporates High Batts Nature Reserve, which is privately run for training, recording and educational purposes, and accessible to members only, except for its annual open day.
Ripon Parks forms part of a tranche of land owned by the Church since the 7th century, when the King of Northumbria - possibly Aldfrith - gave it the Liberty of St Wilfred.
Archbishop John Kemp of York claimed the fishing rights and the warren on this land in 1439; there had already been complaints of poaching there.
From the Reformation, the Church maintained its hold on the land via the Bishop of York, and subsequently the Canons of Ripon.
When hunting, the archbishops originally used Horseman's Lodge, then later they used a summer palace (which still exists as a school) at Ripon, in a deer park called New Park.
Much of the land is still in the possession of the Church Commissioners, who inherited it from the Canons of Ripon.
The Lord Mayor of London owned Ripon Parks between 1649 and 1660, then it reverted to the Church, which retained it until 1926.
The southern section of Ripon Parks passed through several ownerships, and part of South Parks still belongs to Ripon City Golf Club.
It follows a line along the River Ure, from just north of Ripon, North Yorkshire, to a point just east of North Stainley.
Its habitats are all river-related, and include calcareous grassland, pasture, ponds, marsh, scrub woodland, riverbanks and streams, besides the river itself.
It is sited at the north end of Ripon Parks, between the River Ure on the east side, and Hanson's sand and gravel quarry on the west side.
In December 2017, members of Harrogate and District Naturalists' Society (HDNS) recorded yellowhammer, bullfinch, tree sparrow, goldfinch, redpoll, siskin, curlew, buzzard, peregrine falcon, mallard, pintail, goldeneye, goosander, wigeon, teal, tufted duck and a large murmuration of starling.
All the habitats on this site should be protected from potential pollution by pesticide and fertiliser, including that used on adjacent land.
The general principle of management of the river is to protect the wildlife habitat, which consists of the water channel, the riverbank and the vegetation upon it.
The channel's form, including natural obstructions such as waterfalls, should be maintained, and artificial modifications should be restored to the natural form where appropriate, to allow fish breeding and movement of wildlife.
There should be prevention of water pollution where possible, for example, chemicals including phosphorus, and organic pollution, from local and upstream housing, agriculture and industry.
A variety of vegetation such as grass, fen, scrub and trees should be maintained to promote a variety of flora and fauna.
When a pond becomes silted up, or choked with vegetation, it should be cleared or deepened in small sections to allow recovery at all times.
Ponds should be protected from spillages, pollution and entry of nutrients and silt, which would limit diversity of species, or even cause loss of most pondlife.
Marshy grassland should be mowed annually, to prevent a prevalence of tall rushes and grasses with dead vegetation below, because this would limit growth of more delicate plants.
Annual light grazing by cattle, ponies or hill sheep, between late spring and early autumn, is recommended - although this should not be allowed to disturb marsh fritillary butterflies or nesting birds.
It should be maintained such that it comprises various heights and densities of growth, with some areas cut to produce patches of grassland.
The protected habitat sets within this lowland SSSI consist of broadleaved, mixed and yew woodland, neutral and calcareous grasslands, bogs, standing open water and canals, and rivers and streams.
Six of the units were deemed to be in favourable condition: all the river and stream units (15, 16 and 17); one woodland unit (4, Fox Covert); one standing open water and canal unit (7, Black Heath ponds); one neutral grassland unit (10, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust field).
Units 5 (Fox Covert marsh and bogs), 6 (Fox Covert neutral grassland) and 8 (Round Hill calcareous grassland), needed more scrub control and grazing than they had yet received.
In 1982, Ripon Parks had SSSI status but the designation was not yet enshrined in law due to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 which allowed a three-month waiting period between designation and legal protection.
The damage happened because, in spite of a request by the Nature Conservancy Council (NCC), the Property Services Agency (PSA) did not inform prospective tenants of the pending SSSI designation.
On 8 May 1982, the NCC informed one new tenant of his obligations of care two days after he had taken over the property, and on 10 May that tenant responded by rotovating the field.
In 2009 Hanson Quarry Products, who ran Ripon Quarry adjacent to North Staining, the River Ure, High Batts and Ripon Parks, made an application to North Yorkshire County Council to extend their works by .

Gwen C. Clare (1945–) is the former American Ambassador to Ecuador (1999-2001) and El Salvador (1992-1993) and was Consul General in Guayaquil, Ecuador (1991-1993) and Sao Paulo, Brazil (1997-1999) and was a diplomat-in-residence at the Carter Center.
He returned to Vietnam about a year before the fall of Saigon to North Vietnam where he taught at the military academy before his arrest of imprisonment for nearly six years.
Minh Pham had been accepted to attend Vietnamese National Military Academy in Da Lat but instead joined two South Korean and a Thai student in a congressionally mandated all-expense-paid program to earn a degree from the prestigious military academy.
He served as a Tactical Officer at the Vietnamese National Military Academy from 1974 to 1975 when he and the cadets he led stopped invading North Vietnamese tanks before they fled the academy.
He was summoned by the North Vietnamese for re-education but was instead imprisoned for five years and eight months, along with other soldiers who had been trained in the United States.
Minh Pham and Kim Chi returned to the United States in May of 1991 where he served as a teachers aide at Cardozo High School in Washington DC.
Minh Pham was honored at a dinner where we was presented with a USMA class ring to replace the one taken upon is capture in 1975.
Tam Minh Pham was struck by a vehicle while crossing a Gaithersburg, Maryland street in February 2019 and died from his injuries two weeks later.
The Black Diamond Apple is a rare breed from the family of Hua Nia apples that is cultivated in the Tibetan region of Nyingchi.
The temperature fluctuates vehemently between day and night, with the apples being exposed to a lot of ultraviolet light, which is conducive to the dark skin.
Due to the political unrest in Warri he had to move in with his aunt when he was 10 years old to continue his education.
Edafe's had a difficult childhood and was subject to bullying and death threats due to his sexual orientation and had to move to the United States in 2016 to escape persecution for being gay.
Okporo landed in the United States in 2016 at the JFK International Airport where he was arrested by the ICE and taken to Elizabeth Detention Center in New Jersey where he was held in detention.
After six months his pro bono attorneys at Immigration Equality and Debevoise and Plimpton had him released and got him asylum in the US.
Before moving to the US, Edafe attempted to migrate to the UAE but his sexuality was a problem in the Emirates too.
Okporo formally started his fight against discrimination in 2014 in Nigeria when he was working as an advocate for the LGBTQ community in the country to gain access to health care.
He now works as the Director of RDJ Refugee Shelter in Harlem, New York City where he works to secure asylum for refugees and to protect the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.
He published his memoir Bed 26 – A Memoir of an African Man Seeking Asylum in the United States in 2018 which was also converted into a play in 2019.
Alongside his criticism of the anti-gay law in Nigeria, Okporo is also openly critical of the detention centers in the US and the system that governs them.
B-cells are lymphocytes that normally function in the humoral immunity component of the adaptive immune system by secreting antibodies that, for example, bind to and neutralize invasive pathogens.
THRLBCL is distinguished from the other DLBCL subtypes by the predominance of non-malignant T-cell lymphocytes and histiocytes over malignant B-cells in its tumors and tissue infiltrates.
However, most cases are at an advanced stage at diagnoses: further examinations frequently reveal that the disease has spread to multiple internal organs and tissues.
The course of the disease is usually characterized as being poorly responsive to treatment: the disease's survival rates in past studies have been only ~46%.
That is, some cases of variant NLPHL, which is a relatively indolent malignancy, share with THRLBCL similar disease presentations, histologies (i.e.
Comapared to THRLBCK, however, these variant NLPHL cases are less aggressive, are more responsive to treatment, and have a better prognosis.
These studies allow the possibility that THRLBC, similar to the other subtypes of DLBDL as well as a wide array of other cancers results at least in part from the step-wise development of gene changes such as mutations, altered expressions, amplifications (i.e.
increases in the number of copies of specific genes), and chromosomal translocations that alter the expression of key genes in B-cells to result in the increasingly malignant behavior of these cells.
However, the underlying causes for these gene changes as well as the identity of the genes whose changes contribute to the malignant behavior of the neoplastic B-cells in THRLBC have yet to be defined.
Studies suggest that the latter cells help to create a microenvironment that is tolerant or promotes tumor growth and spread to other sites.
Patients typically present with enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, arm pit, and groin areas but on further examination are found to have involvement of their spleen (31% of cases), liver (52% of cases), bone marrow (27% of cases) and lung/or (13%) as determined by finding enlarged spleens and/or livers on physical examination or medical imaging; abnormal results on liver function tests, and/or THRLBCL infiltrates in bone marrow biopsies.
Rare cases of the disease have presented with involvement of the skin (termed primary cutaneous THRLBCL), thyroid gland, thymus, gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, jaw bone, nasopharynx, brain, tongue, uterus, stomach, and soft tissues.
The diagnosis of THRLBCL, particularly as it pertains to differentiating it from DLBCL and other lymphomas, depends on examining involved tissues obtained by biopsy or operation for their histology, i.e.
The tissues involved in THRLBCL commonly show an effacement of their normal architecture by a diffusely growing infiltrate of non-malignant T-cell lymphocytes, histiocytes, and neoplastic (i.e.
The malignant B-cells represent <10% of the cells in these lesions and bear resemblances to centroblast, immunoblasts, and/or the Reed–Sternberg cells found in Hodgkin disease, including in particular Hodgkin disease's nodular variant.
The non-malignant T-cells generally have a reactive morphology as indicated by their larger than normal size and irregularly shaped cell nuclei.
The T-cells in these lesions are predominantly cytotoxic T cells as indicated by their expression of T-cell receptor, CD8 T-cell co-receptor, and CD5 cell surface proteins.
Before making a diagnosis of THRLBCL in a pediatric population, congenital and acquired immunodeficiency diseases, which can cause aberrant immune responses with a histology similar to THRLBCL, must be ruled-out.
While the histological features of THRLBCL are distinctly different that those found in other DLBCL subtypes, they can closely resemble, and be mistaken for, those found in the variant form of nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma.
the CHOP regimen consisting of three chemotherapy drugs (cyclophosphamide, hydroxydoxorubicin, and oncovin) plus a glucocorticoid, either prednisone or prednisolone) achieve complete response rates of 48% to 85%, 3-year overall survival rates of 50% to 64%, and 5 year overall survival rates of 46% to 58%.
The addition of immunotherapy drug, rituximab, to the CHOP regimen appears to have improved these results: in one study, patients receiving the R-CHOP regimen had a three year overall survival rate of 75%.
Since treatment of the variant form of nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma using different and less aggressive drug regimens achieves better results than the regimens used to treat THRLBCL, it is clinically important to distinguish the two diseases.

The Mauritania–Senegal border is 742 km (461 m) in length and runs from the Atlantic Ocean in the west along the Senegal River to the tripoint with Mali in the east.
The border starts in the west at the Atlantic coast and then goes east, crossing the Langue de Barbarie spit, and then veers north, utilising the Marigot de Mambatio, before reaching the Senegal river.
France had begun settling on the coasts of modern Mauritania and Senegal in the 17th-18th centuries, gradually extended their rule further inland as far as modern Mali during the 1850s-80s.
As a result of the ‘Scramble for Africa’ in the 1880s, France gained control the upper valley of the Niger River (roughly equivalent to the areas of modern Mali and Niger).
The following year on 25 February 1905 France created a border between Senegal and Mauritania along the Senegal river, which was then described in more detail in a decree of 8 December 1933.
As the movement for decolonisation grew in the post-Second World War era, France gradually granted more political rights and representation for their sub-Saharan African colonies, culminating in the granting of broad internal autonomy to French West Africa in 1958 within the framework of the French Community.
Relations between the two states, initially fairly good, deteriorated in the 1980s due to various disputes along the Senegal river, exacerbated by droughts and long-standing ethnic tension.
The Association of Employees, Technicians and Managers (, BBTK; , SETCa) is a trade union representing white collar staff in Belgium.
The union was founded in 1920, as the General Union of Employees, Warehousemen, Technicians and Travelling Salesmen of Belgium, with about 12,000 members.
It ceased to operate during World War II, but was re-established in 1945, under its current name, as an affiliate of the new General Federation of Belgian Labour (ABVV).
The union grew during the 1950s and 1960s, establishing joint industrial committees across the sectors it covered, and the union led campaigns for early retirement.
The 1970s and 1980s saw more industrial action in protest at cuts to jobs and government spending, culminating in the 1993 general strike.
By 1995, the union had more than 200,000 members, with 25% working in commerce and catering, 25% in production, 20% in banking and finance, and the remainder spread across a wide variety of industries.
The stations have staircases, elevators and escalators from the street level to the platform level which provide easy and comfortable access.
Also, operation panels inside the elevators are installed at a level that can be conveniently operated by all passengers, including differently-abled and elderly citizens.

Her other public service positions included Director of the Office of Policy Planning and Coordination in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, the Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in San Jose, Costa Rica and as Director of the Office of Western Hemisphere Affairs of United States Information Agency.
Jewell was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, attended Hall High School and was a member of the third four-year class of women at Yale College (Literature Major, Class of 1975).
The Paper and Publishing Industry Union (, CBP; , CLP) was a trade union representing workers in the graphical industries in Belgium.
The union was founded on 1 January 1945, when former members of the Union of Bookworkers of Belgium and the Belgian Typographical Federation came together and established a new organisation.
While always a relatively small union, with a peak membership of 18,017 in 1975, for its first three decades, it was considered strong and highly successful.
However, increased mechanisation and computerisation of the industry led to widespread job losses, and many remaining workers were placed on precarious freelance contracts.
By 1995, union membership was down to only 11,878, and while there was a consensus that it should merge into a larger union, there was disagreement over which one it should choose.
The union's secretariat decided to merge it into the Association of Employees, Technicians and Managers, the amalgamation taking place on 1 January 1996, but the Flemish region instead joined the General Union.

The Algeria–Tunisia border is 1,034 km (642 m) in length and runs from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the tripoint with Libya in the south.
The border starts in the north at the Mediterranean coast, proceeding overland in a broadly southwards directions via a series of overland lines.
In the southern sections of the border straight lines predominate, which eventually veer to the south-east down to the tripoint with Libya.
France occupied much of the northern coastal areas of Algeria in the period 1830-47 and Tunisia in 1881, both of which had hitherto been subject to the nominal control of the Ottoman Empire.
The border from the coast south to Bir Ramane was established by various French decrees, notably those of 1888-89 and 1901-01.
The sections south of this down to the Libyan tripoint was somewhat vaguer, and appear to have been delimited during the period 1911-23.
The two states then confirmed the existing boundary between them by an agreement of 6 January 1960, with relations generally being positive.

In contrast to the Ising model, the spherical model's spin variable on the lattice can assume continuous values (with the restriction that the sum of the squares of the spins is equal to the number of lattice positions).
The spherical model can be solved exactly in the presence of an external field and shares that property of exact solvability with very few models of ferromagnetism.
Upon his death he was survived by his widow and their sons, Geoffrey N., Dennis A., Michael K., and Alexander L. A daughter died in infancy.
The Libya–Tunisia border is 461 km (286 m) in length and runs from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the tripoint with Algeria in the south.
The border starts in the north on the Mediterranean coast at Ras Agedir/Adjir, proceeding overland southwards and then south-westwards via a series of irregular lines down to the tripoint with Algeria.
For most of the 19th century both Tunisia and the coastal regions of modern Libya (organised as the Vilayet of Tripolitania were part of the Ottoman Empire, though with a large degree of de facto autonomy.
France and the Ottomans established a border on the coast between Tunisia and Tripolitania in 1886, which was then extended southwards down to the vicinity of Ghadames in 1892.
A treaty of 19 May 1910 then delimited the border in greater detail and was then demarcated on the ground with pillars in 1910-11.
In September 1911 Italy invaded Tripolitania, and the Treaty of Ouchy was signed the following year by which the Ottomans formally ceded sovereignty of the area over to Italy.
Italy organised the newly conquered regions into the colonies of Italian Cyrenaica and Italian Tripolitania and gradually began pushing further south; in 1934 they united the two territories as Italian Libya.
During the North African Campaign of the Second World War Italy was defeated and its African colonies were occupied by the Allied powers, with Libya split into British and French zones of occupation.
In 2011 Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown in a short civil war, which occasionally spilled over into Tunisian territory, as well resulting in thousands of refugees crossing the border.
Buchanan's Wife is a 1918 American silent drama film directed by Charles Brabin and starring Virginia Pearson, Marc McDermott, Victor Sutherland, and Ned Finley.
The Battle of Leuwiliang was a battle during the Dutch East Indies campaign of the Pacific War that took place between 3 and 5 March 1942.
Australian forces, supported by American artillery batteries and British tanks, launched a holding action starting at Leuwiliang, West Java in order to cover the retreat of allied Dutch forces in face of the Japanese invasion of Java.
Following a Japanese landing and a general collapse of Dutch KNIL resistance, Australian forces in Java led by Brigadier Arthur Blackburn prepared a defensive line ahead of a destroyed bridge in the village of Leuwiliang.
Despite inflicting heavy Japanese casualties and delaying the Japanese advance for three days, Australian forces were eventually forced to withdraw towards Buitenzorg, and later further abandoned the city before capitulating after a general surrender of the Dutch forces on 8 March.
After a victory in the Battle of the Java Sea, Japanese land forces landed in the island of Java in three main locations, with the primary force of the invading Sixteenth Army landing near Merak in the early hours of 1 March 1942.
One of the units in this landing, also known as the Nasu Detachment, was led by Major General Yumio Nasu and was part of the 2nd Division.
This particular detachment was assigned the task of advancing rapidly to secure river crossings and capture the city of Buitenzorg (today Bogor) to cut off potential Dutch retreat from Batavia to Bandung.
The total number of Japanese soldiers landing in Java was roughly 25,000, opposing a similar number of Dutch soldiers, and they did not face significant resistance in their landing operations.
By 7 AM on the same day, they had captured Serang, and despite some delays due to the Dutch demolition of bridges, they had reached the town of Rangkasbitung by morning the following day.
However, the Dutch had understimated the speed of the Japanese advance, and before Dutch forces could establish a defensive line on the Tjiudjung River at Rangkasbitung, Japanese units had bypassed the river and forced the Dutch to retreat further, towards Leuwiliang on the Tjianten River.
During their retreat, the Dutch forces demolished a bridge crossing the Tjianten River, but did not demolish another crossing further to its west, to Blackburn's chagrin as this restricted the ability for his unit to maneuver against the Japanese advance and forced him into a defensive battle.
Leuwiliang had been previously designated as a base for offensive and defensive warfare in West Java in Dutch strategy, and the Japanese invaders were aware of this.
Blackforce consisted of roughly 3,000 men - a brigade-sized unit - but roughly half of them were non-combat soldiers such as cooks, medics and drivers.
Blackburn organized his men into three battalions - 1st battalion mainly consisting of a preexisting 2/3rd Machine Gun Battalion, 2nd mainly made up of the 2/2nd Pioneer Battalion, and a 3rd battalion made up of engineers, soldiers who escaped the defeat in Singapore, and some additional reinforcements.
They were also supported by three batteries of the American 2nd Battalion/131st Field Artillery Regiment, the only American ground unit in the Dutch East Indies campaign and was commanded by Lt. Col. Blucher S. Tharp.
The Pioneer Battalion, the best unit in the Blackforce, was placed in the front line of Leuwiliang's defenses (east bank of the Tjianten River) with two companies defending the road and two in reserves, while the Machine Gun Battalion were stationed in the flanks and in supporting positions.
The Nasu Detachment contained two Regiments - the 16th Infantry and the 2nd Reconnaissance - with supporting units including an artillery battalion and a tank squadron.
In the afternoon of 3 March, the advance armored car units of the 2nd Reconnaissance Regiment arrived in the vicinity of Leuwiliang, and found the demolished bridge shortly before the Australian defenders on the opposite bank opened fire with machine guns and antitank rifles, destroying the leading vehicles.
The Regimental Commander, Noguchi Kin'ichi, deployed his units - two infantry companies forming the front line and two as reserves, and planned to cross the river south of the demolished bridge before launching a surprise night attack on the Australian positions.
Blackburn anticipated this flanking maneuver, and stationed the C company from his Machine Gun battalion south of his positions, supported by one of the American artillery batteries.
In an unfortunate turn of events for the Australians, the company commander and two of its four platoon commanders disappeared after leaving on an armored car patrol.
Before the execution of Kin'ichi's plan, other elements of the Nasu Detachment (mainly the 16th Infantry Regiment) began arriving in Leuwiliang and reinforcing the Japanese position.
As the night came, Nasu overrode Kin'ichi's plan to employ his regiment for the night raid, substituting the 16th regiment instead - as he judged that Kin'ichi's regiment had taken a significant amount of fighting after their landing.
The 16th regiment's commander then ordered its 3rd battalion to make a crossing of the Tjianten three kilometers south of the bridge, supported by an artillery company and with the 2nd battalion as a reserve.
The 3rd battalion's advance units crossed the river first, and the rest of the battalion arrived at the crossing point sometime after midnight.
The Australians had managed to spot the southerly movement of the Japanese units during the night due to lights from their trucks.
As the Japanese were advancing to make their flanking maneuver after crossing the river, Australians from the C company opened fire on the unit, causing significant casualties including one of their company commanders and injuring the regimental commander.
In response, the Japanese sent in their reserves and deployed two additional companies in the fighting, but could not initially break through or flank the Australian lines.
The B company of the Australian Machine Gun Battalion and the A company of the Pioneers were also deployed to support the C company.
After some more fighting in the surrounding paddy fields and an artillery barrage from Japanese guns, Japanese units managed to outflank the Australians and by 4 PM Blackburn ordered the C company to withdraw.
By night, Blackburn ordered for the reduction in the rate of fire, to reduce the likelihood of his retreat being detected by the Japanese (reminiscent of Gallipoli), and as they received news of the successful Dutch retreat from Batavia, he ordered a full withdrawal which was completed by 2:15 AM on the 5th.
During the battle, the Blackforce had sustained under 100 casualties, but reported that they had killed 500 Japanese soldiers - 300 by the Pioneer Battalion and 200 by the Machine Gun Battalion.
After withdrawing to Buitenzorg, the Blackforce withdraw further to Sukabumi, where they attempted to set up an organized defense but eventually broke and its component units dispersed into hills south of Bandung between 6 and 7 March, where within days the survivors were rounded up by Japanese soldiers.
By 7 March, the Japanese had penetrated the Dutch defensive line in the north of the plateau following the Battle of Tjiater Pass, prompting the Dutch to capitulate.

Wrestle Like a Girl is a non-profit founded by Olympic wrestler Sally Roberts, focused on empowering girls and women through increasing opportunities in female wrestling.
Wrestle Like a Girl was originally founded in Colorado by Sally Roberts to provide resources for women seeking to wrestle in college.
The organization argues that being an NCAA sport would allow female wrestlers to receive scholarships, health insurance, and other benefits currently only available to male wrestlers.
In 2018, WLAG partnered with UFC fighters Jessica-Rose Clark and Gina Mazany to host a wrestling clinic in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Since 17 January 2020, heavy rainstorms in the Southeast Region of Brazil have caused widespread flooding and landslides in the states of Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro.
As of 30 January 2020, at least 68 people have died with 18 still missing, and an estimated 30,000 to 46,500 people have been displaced from their homes.
Heavy rainfall began on 17 January 2020 and led to flash flooding and landslides in the south-east of Brazil, flooding to many houses and neighbourhoods.
In the state of Minas Gerais, more than 15,000 people were evacuated as a result of the heavy rain and subsequent flooding.
The Brazilian federal government allocated $20 million for relief efforts in the affected regions while the state government of Minas Gerais allocated up to $80 million.
The southern Brazilian regions of Paraná, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul are expected to see the highest risks of flooding.

Anna von Szent-Ivanyi (19 January 1797 - 28 January 1889) was a German-Hungarian noblewoman who became the owner of a successful winery in Deidesheim.
She never married, and in her later years became an important benefactress of the town's and of the Latin school with which it shared its site.
, her father, was an aristocratic army officer of Hungarian provenance, serving in the Imperial Army: his presence in the Rhineland was a result of the French revolutionary wars.
His wife, born Maria Anna Tillmann, who was Anna's mother, had been a widow when she had married Johann von Szent-Iványi.
The relationship was an important one because after she grew up Josephine Stengel married , the town's mayor, who later became a member of the of the after the region was handed over to Bavaria in 1816.
All this meant, put simply, that Anna von Szent-Ivanyi was well connected from the moment of her birth, and the value of her family connections increased further through the on-going success of her step half brother-in-law, the businessman-politician .
Anna von Szent-Ivanyi moved in 1824 to be near her relatives in Deidesheim, then as now regarded an exceptional location for winegrowing due to the favourable effect on the climate of shelter from nearby hills to the west and the moderating impact on temperature extremes from the River Rhine to the west.
He (step half-) brother in law now bought for her twenty morgens of the town's best vineyards, which made her one of the most important wine producers in the district, and a wealthy member of the local business community.
Her disposable wealth was significantly increased by a major auction she arranged which took place on 22 April 1858 of wine that had been produced, accumulated stored at her winery.
On 17 March 1879 she created a large endowment in favour of the which was evolving and expanding to serve the community not simply as a basic hospital, but also as an asylum, a retirement home, overnight hostel and, in time of war, military hospital and convalescence institution.
Both on account of the growth of the wine business in western Europe through the middle decades of the nineteenth century and because of the fecundity of her relatives, by the time of her death, aged 92, in 1889 Nanette von Szent-Ivanyi was a well-networked member of a leading family in the Deidesheim region.
Among her more noteworthy kinsfolk were the statesman Heinrich von Gagern(1799–1880), the high-profile Catholic convert and priest, and the economist-politician in nearby Edesheim.

Dorothy Hannah Cox (1892-1977) was an American archaeologist and spy known for her work in excavation architecture and numismatics, and for engaging in espionage during World War II.
Born in 1892, Cox was the daughter of Lewis J. Cox, and was the sister of American inventor and businessman Frank Cox.
Cox was involved in Hetty Goldman's excavation of the ancient Greek cities of Eutresis and Colophon from 1924 - 1927 as architect and trench supervisor.
Cox also assisted J.P. Harland in processing the archaeological finds and making detailed drawings of the architecture at Tsoungiza, a Late Bronze Age site in Greece.
Cox was selected by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) to join the Greek Desk led by American archaeologist turned spy-ringleader Rodney Young.
Cox had been recommended by Young, who found her to be reliable and cooperative, and whose work compared favorably with those of the men selected to join the operation.
To prepare for this mission, Cox was briefed in skills related to field espionage, including covert communications, cryptography, identifying German and US military equipment, interpreting and creating intelligence reports, and firearms training.
The British Chief of Middle East Relief and Rehabilitation advised Cox to remain in Cairo, saying that she could only be of use if she worked under him in Egypt.
While in Izmir, she reported to her superiors and colleagues in Cairo, Washington, D.C. and the Office of Naval Intelligence on the activities of enemy deserters, Greek refugees, and special agents who ended up in Turkey.
Cox operated Turkey under the pretense of being a civilian relief worker with the Greek War Relief Association, and interviewed refugees in Sinai Peninsula, Aleppo, and Beirut.
Despite her effectiveness as a spy, Cox was only paid secretarial wages and was repeatedly denied supplies and support by her superiors Washington, D.C.
After the conclusion of the war in 1945, Cox returned to the US where she became the curator of coins for Yale University.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Cox reunited with some of her colleagues from the OSS on excavations in Gordium, Turkey and Balkh, Afghanistan.
Computer programs called bots have often been used to perform simple and repetitive tasks, such as correcting common misspellings and stylistic issues, or to start articles such as geography entries in a standard format from statistical data.
One controversial contributor creating articles with his bot was reported to create up to 10,000 articles on the Swedish Wikipedia on certain days.
Additionally, there are bots designed to automatically notify editors when they make common editing errors (such as unmatched quotes or unmatched parentheses).
Bots are able to indicate edits from particular accounts or IP address ranges, as occurred at the time of the shooting down of the MH17 jet incident in July 2014 when it was reported edits were made via IPs controlled by the Russian government.
According to Andrew Lih, the current expansion of Wikipedia to millions of articles would be difficult to envision without the use of such bots.
Lawrence R. Jacobs (born March 6, 1959) is an American political scientist and founder and director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance (CSPG) at the University of Minnesota.
He was appointed the Walter F. and Joan Mondale Chair for Political Studies at the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs in 2005 and holds the McKnight Presidential Chair.
Jacobs has written or edited, alone or collaboratively, 16 books and over 100 scholarly articles in addition to numerous reports and media essays on American democracy, political communications, health care reform, and economic inequality.
His father, Henry Jacobs, served in the U.S. Army and worked in New York City as a stenographer, opening his own firm.
He used American and British archival evidence to demonstrate that the preferences of citizens along with the organization of interest groups and the administrative capacity of government institutions were critical factors in accounting for the cross-national differences.
The book stated that the motivations of politicians during the 1980s and 1990s shifted from responding to majority opinion to crafting the words, arguments, and symbols to change public opinion to support the policies political elites and their allies and donors favored.
Citing polls and other evidence from presidential archives, they reported that presidents starting with Lyndon Johnson used their private research on public opinion to design arguments and personal images to build personal popularity and win elections in order to defy the policy preferences of most Americans.
Jacobs’s investigation of the sources of U.S. international economic and foreign policy confirmed the pattern of weak government unresponsiveness to the policy preferences of most Americans.
Jacobs has published books on the passage of Medicare in 1965, the enactment of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, and the failure of Bill Clinton’s effort at health reform in 1993-94.
Professor Jacobs’s research has received a number of awards as well as grants from, among others, the National Science Foundation, Ford Foundation, Pew Charitable Trusts, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the McKnight Foundation.
In 2005, Jacobs founded the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance (CSPG) at the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs.
Under his direction, it has become a regional hub for research and initiatives to strengthen democratic institutions and civic engagement, with a mission to foster conversations and collaborations across the partisan divides in Minnesota and America.
It also runs an iconic leadership development program called the Policy Fellows, which has supported Minnesota’s civic culture for three decades.
The Center also works closely with legislators in Minnesota by convening an annual one-day retreat of the entire legislature known as One Minnesota.

Squadron Leader Hugh Kennard DFC left the RAF in 1946, and became a director of Silver City Airways, as well as setting up his own company, officially named Air Kruise (Kent) Ltd.
Air Kruise’s first aircraft was a Miles Messenger 2A, the first civil example of the model to be produced after World War II, which was delivered to Kennard’s base at Lympne Airport, Kent, in August 1946.
Over the next few years the fleet slowly expanded first with an Airspeed Consul, further light aircraft, and from 1950, De Havilland Dragon Rapides.
The airport was reopened on 27 June 1953, and it became Air Kruise's main base, while some operations remained at Lympne.
Air Kruise was granted a licence to operate a summer season route from either Lympne or Ramsgate to Birmingham, and they chose Ramsgate.
Silver City, who were by far the major users of the airport with their Bristol Freighter car ferry service, therefore decided to build their own airfield at Lydd.
Just seven months after that decision, and named Ferryfield, the new airport opened on 13 July 1954, with some of the airline’s operations moving from Lympne immediately.
On 1 May 1954 Air Kruise had been taken over by British Aviation Services (BAS), trading as Britavia, who owned Silver City Airlines.
It was now starting to operate Douglas Dakota aircraft, and in the summer of 1955, as Trans Channel Airways, operated two daily routes - Lydd – Le Touquet (six return flights per day) and Lydd – Ostend, Belgium (three returns per day).
A notable charter operation by Air Kruise during this period was the first ever licensed Inclusive Tour (IT) flight from Manchester Airport.
On 29 May 1955 it operated Dakota G-AMYV to Ostend, the first of what has developed into Manchester Airport’s main source of business.
In September 1955 Air Kruise placed a provisional order for six Handley Page HPR3 Heralds (powered by four Alvis Leonides Major piston engines).
In 1957 Air Kruise was operating a route called Blue Arrow between Lydd and Lyon Bron Airport as part of a coach – air – rail package between London and the south of France.
Wing Commander Kennard (he had been promoted when he joined the Royal Auxiliary Air Force in 1949) became Silver City’s deputy managing director.
In the line of what the manufacturer calls LMW - Leaning Multi Wheel - the Tricity with 125cc already appeared in 2014.
The basic concept are the two front wheels moving in conjunction with each other when the vehicle body is tilted, while the body can be moved like a normal motorcycle.
<br>The application of the Road Traffic Act and the Road Act is equivalent to that of motorcycles, and the legal maximum speed is 60 km / h on general roads and 100 km / h on national highways.
The bike is equipped with a water-cooled in-line three-cylinder engine, mechanically identical to the sports naked Yamaha MT-09 and Tracer 900, while the gear ratio and the ECU setup were changed.
<br>The bike is also equipped with cruise control, assist sleeper clutch, quick shift system, traction control system (TCS), and driving mode switching function.
The Niken arranges the front fork outside, in order to allow a bank angle of 45 degrees, and thus higher corner speeds compared to the Tricity - the first LMW bike - which has the front fork inside.
It is mounted outside the wheels to allow maximum lean and comprises two upside-down fork legs per side – a 43mm rear leg with adjustable preload and damping, and a 41mm front leg that just holds the assembly in alignment.
They realize the Ackermann steering geometry, similar to most cars, whereby the inside wheel turns progressively more than the outside, as it traces a smaller radius in each corner.
The additional mechanics lead to 263 kg weight, around 70 kg more than the classical MT-09 motorcycle with the same basic engine.

The Roman pharaohs, rarely referred to as Ancient Egypt's Thirty-fourth Dynasty, is the term sometimes used for the Roman emperors in their capacity as rulers of Egypt, especially in Egyptology.
Most emperors probably cared little of the status accorded to them by the Egyptians, with emperors rarely visiting the province more than once in their lifetime.
However, Egypt was governed differently from other Roman provinces, with emperors hand-picking governors for the region and often treating it more like a personal possession than a province.
Though not all Roman emperors were recognized as pharaohs, Egyptian religion demanded the presence of a pharaoh to act as the intermediate between humanity and the gods.
The Romans being seen as pharaohs proved to be the most simple solution, and was similar to how the Persians had been regarded as pharaohs centuries prior (constituting the Twenty-seventh and Thirty-first dynasties).
Though Egypt continued to be a part of the Roman Empire until it was conquered by the Rashidun Caliphate in 641 AD, the last Roman emperor to be conferred the title of pharaoh was Maximinus Daia (reigned 311–313 AD).
By his time, the view of Romans as pharaohs had already been declining for some time due to Egypt being on the periphery of the Roman Empire (in contrast to the traditional pharaonic view of Egypt as the center of the world).
The spread of Christianity throughout the empire in the 4th century, and the transformation of Egypt's capital Alexandria into a major Christian center, decisively ended the tradition, due to the new religion being incompatible with the traditional implications of being pharaoh.
Cleopatra VII had affairs with Roman dictator Julius Caesar and Roman general Mark Antony, but it was not until after her 30 BC suicide (after Mark Antony was defeated by Octavian, who would later be Emperor Augustus Caesar) that Egypt became a province of the Roman Republic.
Depictions of Octavian, now called Augustus, in traditional pharaonic garbs (wearing different crowns and the traditional kilt) and sacrificing goods to various Egyptian gods were made as early as around 15 BC and they are present in the Temple of Dendur, built by Gaius Petronius, the Roman governor of Egypt.
Even earlier than that, Augustus had been accorded royal titles in the Egyptian version of a 29 BC stele made by Cornelius Gallus, despite royal titles not being present in the Latin or Greek-language versions of the same text.
Unlike the preceding Ptolemaic pharaohs and pharaohs of other previous foreign dynasties, the Roman emperors were rarely physically present in Egypt.
As such, the traditional role of the pharaoh, a living embodiment of the gods and cosmic order, was somewhat harder to justify; an emperor rarely visited the province more than once in their lifetime, a sharp contrast to previous pharaohs who had spent a majority of their lives in Egypt.
Even then, Egypt was hugely important to the empire as it was highly fertile and the richest region of the Mediterranean.
Egypt was governed differently from other provinces, emperors treating it more like a personal possession than a province; hand-picking governors and administering it without the Roman Senate's interference - no senator was ever named governor of Egypt and they were even barred from visiting the province without explicit permission.
To the Egyptians, their religion demanded that there was a pharaoh to act as the intermediate between the gods and humanity.
As such, the emperors continued to be regarded as pharaohs since this proved the most simple solution, disregarding the actual political situation, similar to how Egypt had regarded the Persians or Greeks before the Romans.
As Christianity became more and more accepted within the empire, eventually becoming the state religion, emperors no longer found it possible to accept the traditional implications of being pharaoh (a position firmly rooted in the Egyptian religion) and by the early 4th century, Alexandria itself, the capital of Egypt since the time of Alexander the Great, had become a major center of Christianity.
By this point, the view of the Romans as pharaohs had already declined somewhat; Egypt being on the periphery of the Roman Empire was much different from the traditional pharaonic view of Egypt as the center of the world.
This was evident in the imperial pharaonic titulatures; though early emperors had been given elaborate titulatures similar to those of the Ptolemies and native pharaohs before them, emperors from Commodus (reigned 180–192 AD) onwards were usually given just a nomen, though still written within a cartouche (as all pharaonic names were).
Although there continued to be Roman emperors for centuries, until the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 AD, and Egypt continued to be a part of the empire until 641 AD, the last Roman emperor to be conferred the title of pharaoh was Maximinus Daia (reigned 311–313 AD).
The titulature (most of them incomplete) of all emperors, which keeps in line with pharaonic titles of previous periods, derives from Beckerath (1999).

The 2020 ITTF Pan-America Cup is a table tennis competition scheduled to take place from 7–9 February in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, organised under the authority of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).
The Algeria–Libya border is 989 km (615 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Tunisia in the north to the tripoint with Niger in the south.
The border starts in the north at the tripoint with Tunisia just north of Ghadames, then proceeds broadly south-south-westwards via a series of straight and irregular lines, turning to the south-east in its southern sections, down to the tripoint with Niger.
France occupied much of the northern coastal areas of Algeria in the period 1830-47, which had hitherto been subject to the nominal control of the Ottoman Empire.
For most of the 19th century the coastal region of modern Libya (organised as the Vilayet of Tripolitania) was part of the Ottoman Empire, though with a large degree of de facto autonomy.
In September 1911 Italy invaded Tripolitania, and the Treaty of Ouchy was signed the following year by which the Ottomans formally ceded sovereignty of the area over to Italy.
The Italians organised the newly conquered regions into the colonies of Italian Cyrenaica and Italian Tripolitania and gradually began pushing further south; in 1934 they united the two territories as Italian Libya.
During the North African Campaign of the Second World War Italy was defeated and its African colonies were occupied by the Allied powers, with Libya split into British and French zones of occupation.
France, which had long been dissatisfied with aspects of the border, signed a treaty with Libya in 1955-6 which altered part of the border between Ghadames and Ghat, thereby enabling more effective administration.
Relations since independence have largely been cordial, though the border remains generally insecure due to the impact of terrorism and spill-over from the Libyan Civil War.

The 1932 New Hampshire Wildcats football team was an American football team that represented the University of New Hampshire as a member of the New England Conference during the 1932 college football season.
Boston University was coached by Myles Lane, who had played ice hockey with the Stanley Cup-winning 1928–29 Boston Bruins, and was inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1970.
Wildcat captain Arthur Learmonth, who had been born in Orkney, Scotland, would go on to earn a masters degree in education; he served in the United States Navy, and worked for the United States Department of Labor for 35 years—he died in February 2004 at age 93.
At the University of Toronto, he also directed First Nations House and Aboriginal Student Services (1994–97), paving the way for expanded First Nations student support in education.
He was instrumental in launching a Canadian Human Rights Commission case against the far-right organisation Heritage Front, which contributed significantly to its eventual demise.
Internationally, he frequently represented and mediated on behalf of various Indigenous and anti-racist communities, at forums including the United Nations and the World Trade Organisation.
In the late 1990s, he directed the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto as well as the Forum for Global Exchange and the Biocultural Security Directorate at the Centre for World Indigenous Studies.
A. Rodney Bobiwash was born in 1959 to the Anishinaabe Bear Clan of the Mississauga First Nation on the north shore of Lake Huron, in Blind River, Ontario.
He wrote a thesis on the economic and social history of Pinehouse, Saskatchewan, and graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Native Studies.
He then read history at Wolfson College, Oxford, becoming the first Indigenous student sponsored by the Canadian government for graduate studies at the University of Oxford.
From 1988 to 1990 he taught at Trent University, encouraging his students to actively engage in issues facing the Native community.
In 1989, he joined the efforts of the Anishinaabe in Temagami to stop the construction of a logging road through ancestral hunting grounds while their land claim was still before the Supreme Court.
He moved to Toronto, worked at the Ontario Indian Commission, and began to volunteer at the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto (NCCT).
From 1991 to 1998 he also ran Mukwa Ode, a First Nations consulting group that worked with Indigenous and non-Indigenous clients in a number of different areas.
Its projects included the publication of the Toronto Urban Native Self-Government Handbook and a review of the perception of policing in Toronto's Indigenous community.
In the mid-1990s, he was one of the only two non-lawyers appointed by the Ontario government as Adjudicator with the Ontario Human Rights Commission.
In 1992, he played a pivotal role in launching a Canadian Human Rights Commission complaint against the far-right organisation Heritage Front, contributing significantly to its eventual demise.
Elisa Hategan, a past member of the Heritage Front and now defector, has been quoted as saying:Rodney did more to shut down hate than any other anti-racism activist back then...
He gave me money, let me stay in his apartment and took me out to dinner.Bobiwash founded a group called Klan Busters at the NCCT, which sought to combat the influence of Ku Klux Klan and affiliated white supremacist organisations in Ontario, Quebec, and the Prairie provinces.
As a result, Bobiwash was frequently the target of death threats and harassment campaigns which at one point required him to be placed under 24-hour police protection.
He was nonetheless known to meet harassment with humour, in one instance agreeing to coffee with the leader of Heritage Front in the courthouse's basement cafeteria before the court date.
From 1994 to 1997, Bobiwash took on a dual role at the University of Toronto as the Director of First Nations House and as coordinator for the Office of Aboriginal Student Services and Programs.
Throughout his professional career, Bobiwash organised, addressed, and participated in numerous conferences, seminars, and workshops around the world to represent various First Nations and Anti-Racist organisations.
In 1998, Bobiwash became Director of the NCCT and, shortly after, Director of the Forum for Global Exchange and the Biocultural Security Directorate at the Centre for World Indigenous Studies.
Pernía was an Embera Katío activist who was disappeared soon after returning home from the Quebec People's Summit of April 2001.
He had visited Canada on a number of occasions to testify on the devastation caused by the project, which was partially financed by Export Development Canada using Canadian tax revenue.
In February 2002, Toronto City Council recognised the passing of Bobiwash through a condolence motion moved by Councillor Jane Pitfield and seconded by Councillor Kyle Rae.
In 1995, the Toronto Native Community History Project was established at the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto (NCCT) by a group of Indigenous community members and non-Indigenous allies, through the leadership of Rodney Bobiwash and Heather Howard.
To preserve and promote the history of Aboriginal people in the Toronto area from time immemorial to the present, and for the future.
To teach and share in the spirit of friendship, and with the goal of eliminating racism and prejudice.Foundational to this collection were materials donated by Anglican Church Women to Indigenous woman and housing advocate Mildred (Millie) Redmond in 1976.
Redmond received the materials in her capacity as director at Anduhyaun, a women's shelter she helped found in 1968 and the first of its kind in Canada.
Thereafter, the collection was passed to the NCCT and enriched with many more contemporary Indigenous art, artefacts, archival material, and oral history recordings.
With the development of the Toronto Native Community History Project through the 1990s and 2000s, various initiatives began to elaborate the Indigenous histories of Toronto.
The bus stopped at familiar sites, like Casa Loma and High Park, but the stories Bobiwash told about the historical significance of these sites is not visible, not even noted on a plaque.
In the east end of the city, the bus stopped in what appeared to be a typical Scarborough suburb: single-family ranch-style homes spread far and wide.
In the midst of this otherwise flat landscape was what appeared to be a small park composed of an unusually high grass-covered hill.
Before leaving the bus, Bobiwash would give each tour participant a small packet of loose tobacco to scatter to the four directions to honour the dead as they climbed up the long, steep sides of the collective grave.
Whose history we preserve, and how, is critical to our collective understanding of who we are and what makes a good city.
Ongoing collaboration at First Story Toronto has expanded Bobiwash's original tour to offer a series of bus and walking tours across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
She graduated in 2001 and moved to the Interdisciplinary Center for Neural Computation for her postgraduate research, where she was supported by a scholarship for excellence.
She moved to the University of California, Berkeley for her postdoctoral research, where she worked alongside Marla Feller as a Human Frontier Science Program Fellow.
During her postdoctoral research she demonstrated that the modality encoded into retinal ganglion cells (RCGs) can be altered by certain stimuli.
This can include directional sensitive RCGs, which reorient themselves after a short stimulation, and light sensitive RCGs which change their preferred polarity when light intensity changes.
She studies how the neurons interpret the dynamic signals sent by the retina, and how they make use of changing information to build a coherent visual image.
In an effort to use this as a characterisation tool, Rivlin studies the responses of the retina to different levels of dopamine.
Rivlin believes that through measurements of the retinal neurons, in particular the starburst amacrine cells, it will be possible to determine the cholinergic levels, with which it will be possible to diagnose Alzheimer's disease early.
Stephen H. Rogers (1930-) was a Career Foreign Service Officer who served as the American Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Swaziland (now officially known as Eswatini) from 1990 until 1993.
When he was nine, Rogers and his family moved to Port Washington, New York and he graduated in 1948 from the Port Washington High School.
He graduated from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, attending on a Naval ROTC scholarship.
He arrived for part of his training in Pensacola, Florida just days before the Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950.
Serving as an intermediary between the Northern Arapaho and the United States, he helped lead the transition from free-roaming life and armed resistance to American expansion, to alliance and eventual settlement alongside the Eastern Shoshone at today's Wind River Indian Reservation.
He rose to prominence due to his war deeds in the 1860s in the Powder River Country, in which the Arapaho allied with war parties of the Lakota and Cheyenne.
Black Coal fought in engagements like the July 1865 Battle of Platte Bridge in which Caspar Collins was killed, and the attack on Fort Phil Kearney in December 1866.
In 1865 at the Battle of the Tongue River soldiers attacked Northern Arapaho leader Black Bear's camp of 500 people and killed 35 warriors.
Black Coal would come came to serve a major intermediary role in carrying out the conciliatory strategy, keeping Arapahos out of conflict with the United States and the Shoshones as much as he was able.
According to historian Loretta Fowler, leaders in the Northern Arapaho during the 1860s and 1870s did not rule by fiat or make decisions on an individual level.
Instead, leaders were chosen by consensus of the tribe and with the blessing of the Water Pouring Old Men, ceremonial leaders who held the highest authority within the tribe.
In this position, intermediary chiefs were expected to serve as go-betweens that could faithfully and powerfully argue for Arapaho interests and communicate Arapaho consensus to outsiders like U.S. Army generals, agency officials, and diplomats of the United States.
This strategy helped to maintain Arapaho sovereignty and leadership structures, and also insulated ceremonial leaders from interactions with the United States.
Fowler argues that this structure has persisted today in modified form, even as elected tribal council members act as the official political leadership of the Northern Arapaho, they are influenced by leadership of ceremonial elders.
In this case, from 1871 Black Coal was considered the head Northern Arapaho chief by government officials, when in fact he had only the authority to speak the consensus of the tribe.
Black Coal, along with Sharp Nose and Sorrel Horse, were Northern Arapaho signatories on the Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868), granting them rights to hunt north of the Platte River so long as game persisted.
For the next few years, Black Coal alternately stayed near Red Cloud Agency, Fort Fetterman, and other posts to receive rations, and led his band on hunting expeditions.
The U.S. Army was poised to strike the Shoshone's enemies, and through two Shoshone scouts located and attacked Black Coal's camp of up to 112 lodges and 600-700 people on Bates Creek, a tributary of Nowood Creek in the Bridger Mountains (Wyoming).
Chief Black Coal had his horse shot out from under him, and two fingers of his right hand were shot off.
This wound is in evidence in the 1877 photo of the Arapaho delegation to Washington D.C. After initially suffering heavy losses, the Arapaho climbed a bluff to the east of the creek and laid down heavy fire from behind the cover of limestone boulders, forcing the soldiers and Shoshones to withdraw.
Captain Bates wrote that the battle would have been more successful had the Shoshones not commenced yelling their war whoops before the attack and spoiling the element of surprise.
In this way, some of the Arapaho survivors may have survived because of the early warning they got from Shoshone war traditions.
When the U.S. Army went into the field in 1876 to attack the Cheyenne at the beginning of the Great Sioux War, Black Coal's band was headed south to Fort Fetterman on March 1, signaling their peaceful intent.
Black Coal enlisted as a U.S. Army scout during this period, to secure higher status within the tribe, rations, Army pay, and hopefully the favor of U.S. Army officials that could bolster their case for securing a permanent reservation for the Northern Arapaho.
Sharp Nose, leader of another band of Northern Arapaho, was chief of the Arapaho Scouts and served with Colonel Ranald S. Mackenzie at the November 25, 1876 Dull Knife Fight on the Red Fork of Powder River that broke the resistance of the Northern Cheyenne.
Seeking a permanent home for the Arapaho, Black Coal traveled to visit the Southern Arapaho Reservation on the Canadian River in Oklahoma in 1876, but found the location unsuitable.
In 1877, Black Coal, along with Sharp Nose and interpreter Friday, went to Washington D.C. as part of a delegation that met President Rutherford B. Hayes.
Within months, the United States was seeking permission of the Shoshones to locate the Arapahoes on the Sweetwater River, south of the Shoshone agency.
The Northern Arapaho were later resettled on the Shoshone reservation, to be closer to the agency where they could receive rations.
For the rest of his life, Black Coal worked to solidify this informal arrangement and codify Arapaho rights to live on Wind River.
In December 2019, retired professor Temple Smith or Marblehead, Massachusetts contacted the Northern Arapaho Tribal Historic Preservation Office to inquire about returning Black Coal's headdress to the Northern Arapaho.
Smith's great-grandfather was a dentist who had traveled to the Wind River country in the 1870s or 1880s, where he had done dental work on Black Coal's teeth.
The Smith family held onto the headdress for more than a century, storing it in their attic, until a delegation of from the Northern Arapaho arrived to repatriate the headdress in January 2020.
After driving the headdress back to Wyoming, the item was treated at the University of Wyoming Archaeological Repository with a freezing process to kill any insects or microbes.
A cedaring ceremony was held at the Native American Center on the University of Wyoming Campus on January 27, 2020, in which Northern Arapaho Council Member Sam Dresser prayed over the headdress and it was cedared in the four directions, in preparation for the final return of the headdress to the Wind River Indian Reservation.
Benedict (; died between January and July 1320) was a Hungarian Dominican friar and prelate at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, who served as Bishop of Transylvania from 1309 until his death.
In this capacity, he was an adviser and confidant of the influential prelate, Peter Monoszló, who served as Bishop of Transylvania from the 1270s.
Thereafter, he was transferred to the Dominican monastery of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Buda Island, where he functioned as prior too.

Art was first institutionalized in Taiwan during the Japanese Colonial period and the establishment of public schools dedicated to the fine arts.
As was typical of colonel rulers Japanese did not establish tertiary institutions for art education in Taiwan, all students wishing to pursue an advanced degree in the arts had to travel to Japan to do so.
When the Nationalists fled to Taiwan in 1949 they brought many of China’s most prestigious artists and a large portion of the former Qing Imperial art collection with them.
Along with Chinese influences the Nationalists also allowed the United States to establish a series of military bases in Taiwan, American pop culture and artistic ideas such as abstract expressionism were introduced to Taiwan by the Americans.
Schools such as the May Art Association, a revolutionary art group, and Eastern Art Association, an avant-garde group flourished during this time.
The next major influence came when the ROC left the United Nations in 1971, this unmooring from the international community caused artists to search for an identity and a sense of self, a search which continues up to the present.
Artists of this era such as Lee Shi-chi and Shiy De-jinn adopted Taiwanese folk motifs and other elements from Taiwan’s traditional culture however the Taiwanese art scene still chafed under the KMT’s military dictatorship.
Democratization in the late 1980s and the lifting of martial law granted Taiwanese artists freedom of expression for the first time in history.
As Taiwan’s art scene matured there began to be a greater specialization in exhibit spaces with dedicated museums for things like photography and ceramics opening.
Art collecting has a long tradition in Taiwan, however most important and deep-pocketed Taiwanese collectors prefer to fly under the radar.
Both Sotheby’s and Christie’s routinely tour the highlights of their spring and autumn Impressionist and Modern and postwar sales in Taipei.
Taiwanese collectors have significant presence both at home and abroad, Taiwanese billionaire collector Pierre Chen is auction house Sotheby’s go-to-guarantor for big-ticket items.
In 2019 more than three hundred million dollars worth of artwork that she had loaned for exhibition in China went missing.
In the 21st century while no longer the largest art market in Asia (having been surpassed by China) the tastes of Taiwan’s collectors have matured and Taiwan remains the most cutting edge art market in Asia.

The Egypt–Libya border is 1,115 km (693 m) in length and runs from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the tripoint with Sudan in the south.
It then proceeds overland roughly southwards via series of irregular lines that frequently veer south-west or south-east, before reaching the 25th meridian east.
Only the northern littoral section of the boundary contains any significant population centres, with the vast majority of the frontier running through remote areas of the Sahara desert, including the Great Sand Sea and Libyan desert.
Egypt, though nominally part of the Ottoman Empire, had acquired a large degree of autonomy under Muhammad Ali following the Second Egyptian-Ottoman War of 1839-41.
The Ottoman Empire had also nominally ruled the coastal areas of what is today Libya since the 16th century, organised into the Vilayet of Tripolitania, with a vaguely defined border between the Vilayet and Egypt based on an 1841 Ottoman firman, which placed the border further to the east than its current position.
In September 1911 Italy invaded Tripolitania, and the Treaty of Ouchy was signed the following year by which the Ottomans formally ceded sovereignty of the area over to Italy.
Italy organised the newly conquered regions into the colonies of Italian Cyrenaica and Italian Tripolitania and gradually began pushing further south; in 1934 they united the two territories into Italian Libya.
The border became a point of contention - for example, Egypt rejected a secret Anglo-Italian treaty of 1915 which had ceded the Al Jaghbub Oasis to Italian Libya.
Egypt and Italy signed a treaty on 6 December 1925 which finalised the border at its current position (though Egypt did not formally ratify the treaty until 1932-3).
The northern section of the border was delimited in more detail in 1926-7, with the boundary then being demarcated on the ground by a series of pillars.
Meanwhile Italy, in attempt to control the Senussi rebels, had constructed a fence along much of the frontier in the 1920s-30s.
During the North African Campaign of the Second World War Italy was defeated and its African colonies were occupied by the Allied powers, with Libya split into British and French zones of occupation.
During this period Egypt occasionally pressed for a modification of the border, stating that it should shift westwards to the 24th meridian east, with Al Jaghbub and Bardiyah to be included within Egypt.
Relations between the two states since then have largely been cordial, however tensions rose in the 1970s, due largely the more assertive pan-Arab and anti-Israel foreign policy of the Gadaffi government in Libya, which resulted in a brief war between the two countries along their northern border in 1977.
The border region has again become an area of concern as Egypt seeks to insulate itself from the effects of the ongoing civil war in Libya.

The Libya–Sudan border is 382 km (237 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Egypt in the north to the tripoint with Chad in the south.
The border starts in the north at the tripoint with Egypt on Gabal El Uweinat, proceeding south along the 25th meridian east for 223 km (138 m) down to the 20th parallel north.
It then turns west along this parallel for 105 km (65 m), before turning south at the 24th meridian east, where it turns south, running for 56 km (35 m) down to the tripoint with Chad.
Britain invaded Egypt in 1882, establishing a protectorate over an area that had hitherto being nominally subject to the Ottoman Empire.
In September 1911 Italy invaded the nominally-Ottoman Vilayet of Tripolitania, and the Treaty of Ouchy was signed the following year by which the Ottomans formally ceded sovereignty of the area over to Italy.
Italy organised the newly conquered regions into the colonies of Italian Cyrenaica and Italian Tripolitania and gradually began pushing further south; in 1934 they united the two territories as Italian Libya.
In 1925 Britain and Italy signed a boundary treaty, whereby the 22nd parallel north was utilised starting at the tripoint with Egypt and proceeding westward, terminating at the border between Italian Libyan and French Equatorial Africa (i.e.
The north-west corner of Anglo-Sudan Egyptian thus created was referred to as the Sarra Triangle; this latter area was ceded to Italy on 20 July 1934, and the boundary re-drawn at its current position.
On 7 January 1935 France and Italy signed a treaty which shifted the French Equatorial Africa-Libya boundary southwards (creating the Aouzou Strip, thereby also shifting the Libya-Sudan southwards slightly, however this agreement was never formally ratified by both parties and was thus never implemented.
During the North African Campaign of the Second World War Italy was defeated and its African colonies were occupied by the Allied powers, with Libya split into British and French zones of occupation.

The Egypt–Sudan border is 1,276 km (793 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Libya in the west to the Red Sea in the east.
The border starts in the west at the tripoint with Libya on Gabal El Uweinat and then proceeds eastwards along the 22nd parallel north to Lake Nasser.
The border then briefly veers northwards, creating an area known as the 'Wadi Halfa Salient', before resuming its course along the 22nd parallel out to the Red Sea just south of Cape Elba (Ras Hadarba).
Sudan maintains that the border diverges about 183 km (114 m) east of the salient, shifting south so as to leave Bir Tawil in Egypt, and then north-east so as to include the Halayib Triangle within Sudan.
The boundary traverses a thinly populated region of the Sahara desert and Libyan desert known traditionally as Nubia, with the main population centres being around the river Nile in the vicinity of Wadi Halfa.
Egypt, though nominally part of the Ottoman Empire, had acquired a large degree of autonomy under Muhammad Ali following the Second Egyptian-Ottoman War of 1839–41.
Egypt's traditional claim to Sudan was maintained, and following a war against Mahdist forces in 1890s, the British conquered Sudan and created Anglo-Egyptian Sudan in January 1899 as condominium state, divided from Egypt proper along the 22nd parallel.
The Wadi Halfa salient was added to Sudan on 26 March 1899 in order place a rail terminus from Khartoum under Sudanese control.
A further agreement of 1902 created an 'administrative boundary' in the east in order to facilitate the administration of various nomadic peoples, thereby creating the Bir Tawil region (to Egypt) an the Halayib triangle (to Anglo-Egyptian Sudan).
At that point the 1902 agreement remained in force,however in 1958 Egypt re-asserted the 1899 boundary, a move protested by Sudan.
In 1959 Egypt and Sudan signed a treaty which paved the way for Egypt to create the Aswan Dam, which had the knock-on effect of flooding much of the Wadi Halfa salient under Lake Nasser.

The horse breeding was suddenly interrupted in the late 1960s by the local authorities and it was only in the early 1980s that it began to recover.
More than 100 horses, most of them Lipizzans, were taken by the Serbian Army forces to the occupied territory and Serbia, or slaughtered.
There are five male breeding lines in the Lipik Stud today: Conversano (from 1767), Favory (1779), Neapolitano (1770), Siglavy (1810) and Pluto (1765).
The mare lines bred in Lipik are: Batosta, Capriola, Allegra, Trompeta, Gaeta, Gaetana, Bonadea, Monteaura, Wera, Krabbe, Drava, Kitty, Cica and Liza.
The Stud includes four stables, dressage grounds, a fiacres collection and auxiliary buildings (containing barn warehouse, equipment and accessories for employees, souvenir shop etc.).
One of the stables is used for keeping the breeding stallions, the other for mares with new-born foals, the third for yearlings, colts and fillies, and the last one for the equipment for sports competition.
Their objective is to initiate advances in selection and to preserve the genetic potential of the horses, especially of the Lipizzan breed in Croatia.

Erin Marie Gilbert (May 4, 1971 – July 1, 1995) is an American woman who vanished while attending the Girdwood Forest Fair in Girdwood, Alaska.
Gilbert, who had previous resided in California, had moved to Anchorage, Alaska, where she lived with her sister and worked as a nanny.
At the time she disappeared, Gilbert was on a first date with a man, David Combs, whom she had met at a bar in Anchorage several days prior.
In 1994, Gilbert relocated to Alaska, where she resided with her elder sister, Stephanie, and her husband at the Elmendorf Air Force Base.
On July 1, 1995, Gilbert accompanied David Combs—a man whom she had met several days prior at a bar called Chilkwood Charlie's in Anchorage—to the Girdwood Forest Fair in Girdwood, Alaska, a village south of Anchorage.
The two left Anchorage at approximately 4:00 p.m. Gilbert was last seen at the fair's beer garden with Combs before they left at approximately 6:00 p.m. At the time, she was wearing a black leather jacket, a black and white shirt, mountain boots, and black jeans.
By Combs' account, he and Gilbert returned to his car, but found the battery dead as he had left the headlights on.
He claimed he told Gilbert he was going to a nearby friends' home to get help, and walked for around two hours, but was unable to locate his friend's residence.
According to Combs, he assumed Gilbert had returned to the fair, and found that he was able to start the car engine.
Stephanie and her family searched the Girdwood Forest Fairgrounds the following morning, July 2, as well as the surrounding woods, after receiving a phone call from Combs inquiring about whether or not Gilbert had made it home the night before.
Alaska State Troopers organized a large search utilizing helicopters and search dogs, but were unsuccessful in recovering any sign of Gilbert in the vicinity of the fair.

James Pearce was appointed by Erastus Snow, a Mormon Apostle, to begin the colonization process of the Silver Creek Valley in Arizona.
Stinson was developing his land and according to Pearce, he asked for too much money and therefore Pearce moved three miles further down and set up a camp.
In 1877, the LDS Church President Brigham Young asked William Jordan Flake, to start a settlement in the northern area of what was then the Arizona Territory.
Snow gave Flake his advice and suggested that Flake divide the Stinson Ranch into city lots and first- and second-class farm plots.
Ralph Ramsay carved a horse's head and a large horseshoe in the middle of the third-story gable Of the three story house to adorn the home which he built for James Madison Flake.
In 1884, the officials of the territorial government used a federal law against polygamy to bring charges against some of the Mormon leaders.
Wilford Woodruff, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and President of the Board of Education for the Church, believed that Snowflake should establish an Academy for higher education.
Though the Stinson/Flake Ranch House is the oldest house of the original Snowflake townsite, it is not the oldest structure there.
The circa 1858, primitive cabin where William Jordan Flake once lived was relocated from Beaver, Utah, by the Flake families and is now located within the property of the house of James Madison Flake and family.

To straddle or straddling a gate in skiing means a certain fault where the inside ski passes the wrong side of the gate pole and as a result the pole slides between inside and outside ski.
Gate faults like that are especially common in alpine ski racing, but can also occur in other sports like ski cross or snowboarding.
According to rule 661.4 of the International Ski Federation's international ski competion rules (ICR) a gate is passed correctly if both ski tips and both feet cross an imaginery line between two gate poles.
Most frequently straddles happen in slalom skiing where the athletes are able to run the narrowest line due to the flex-pole technique.
In some cases straddles lead to falls, especially when the pressure enduced by the pole loosens the binding of the inside ski.
Continuing the race after a straddle (ICR rule 628.8) – no matter whether it happens unnoticed or not – demands a disqualificaton and eventually a fine of 999 Swiss francs.
After actually straddling a gate in the Wengen and Kitzbühel slaloms without noticing, rumours spread that he might have also straddled the first gates during his victory runs in Zagreb and Adelboden.
After hours of video analysis Hirscher and his mate Felix Neureuther who also was accused of straddling in the Zagreb race could be acquitted from the allegations.
Possibly race-deciding straddles during important races occurred to Bode Miller and Benjamin Raich whilst competing for the Olympic gold medal at the alpine combined in Torino 2006 or Marcel Hirscher in the world championship slalom in Beaver Creek 2015.
Stefan Luitz straddled the final gate of the first run during the Olympic giant slalom in Sochi 2014 just before crossing the finish line and setting the second best intermediate time.
His father was a clerk at the Ministry of Works who died in 1932 and his mother was a freelance journalist with fascist sympathies and little affection for her son whose care she primarily left to a nanny.
When his mother returned home to continue her career and later drifted away from her fiancee, Briscoe was left with his parents in Miltenberg, Bavaria .
Later in life, he would write that the ideology of the Nazi party and antisemitism was taught in his lessons and how at the age of eight years old he was taken by his teachers to a local synagogue and sent in to loot it during kristallnacht.
Seeing the war as an opportunity to prove his loyalty to his adoptive family and nation, Briscoe became an enthusiastic member of the Hitler youth and in 1944 joined the auxiliary fire service where he was injured in an air raid.
The following year he was an eyewitness to the surrender of Miltenberg by its Mayor and the town's occupation by American troops.
Over the following years, Briscoe moved away from the worldview he had been taught as a child and began to look back on his participation in kristallnacht with shame.
In 1949, Briscoe returned to Germany on national service where he was sent to spy on neo-nazi groups in civilian clothing.
In 1960 he, too, qualified as a teacher and he went on to teach woodwork and German at schools in Essex and Suffolk.
In 1975 he became joint manager of his wife's family farm at Framlingham, where he played an active part in the community as a church warden, conservationist and supporter of local charities.

1 Northern is a large public art work in the form of a steel abstract sculpture by John Cullen Nugent, currently standing where it was originally installed in the fore court of the Canadian Grain Commission building in Winnipeg, in 1976.
In 1979, Meriké Wiler called it the most controversial piece of Canadian public art ever commissioned during the fourteen years of Canada's public art funding scheme.
It was hauled away and cut into pieces on two different occasions, before and after being installed in front of another federal government building, and finally reinstalled at its intended location once more in 1997, nearly twenty years after its removal.
During the 1960s and 1970s, the Canadian government acted regularly as a patron of the arts, and the Department of Public Works had a fine art program in which 1% of the construction costs for federal buildings open to the public would be spent on commissioning art.
Architectual firm Smith Carter had recently designed and built the new Canadian Grain Commission building, and recommended that it be bestowed with a large scale exterior sculpture, but no art allowance had been designated in the construction budget, and in June 1972 the firm notified the Department of Public Works.
In June 1974, with no funds forthcoming, Smith suggested the Commission might rent a work of art from the Art Bank, but its advisory committee members disagreed: after ten years, the rental fees would exceed the value of the art.
The following July, a competition was proposed between ten invited artists, with each to receive $500 for their maquette (scale model) and travel expenses.
In January of 1975, Nugent and four other artists, Henry Saxe, Ulysse Comtois, Ricardo Gomez, and Hugh Leroy, were chosen by Smith (with Kenneth Lochhead's advice).
Earl Baxter, chairman of the Board of Grain Commissioners, attended the meeting at which Nugent's proposal was selected and expressed reservations about its design.
Drury, but finding himself ignored, canvassed employees, and shortly after the work's 1976 unveiling, obtained 300 signatures signed in protest (a dozen employees liked it).
Catherine Anderson-Dolcini believes that many people were either unaware of what the work represented, or else resented representation of the wheat in abstract form, and that much anger, stemmed from a lack of public involvement during the selection process.
Canadian Artists Representation filed an action to stop the removal of Nugent's work; the sculptor was given one month to choose between two sites, though he felt that neither one was suitable.
Late in the night of 31 August, against the protestations of Nugent's lawyer, officials dismantled the work (possibly while legal proceedings were ongoing) when it was cut up and taken to a federal warehouse in Lockport.
In Spring 1997, Nugent discovered what had become of his work and complained, along with many other artists, about the way Public Works stored pieces of art it owned.
The department made a commitment to restoring the sculpture and finding a prominent, public setting for it following public reaction to news of its deterioration.

The diet advocates the consumption of foods heavy in RNA (ribonucleic acid) such as sardines four times a week, other seafood three times a week, calf's liver, lentils and soybeans.
He believed that sardines and other foods high in nucleic-acid content can erase wrinkles could make people look fifteen years younger.
The diet is extremely unbalanced and is a health danger to those with hypertension because of the high salt content of the sardines.
There is no scientific evidence that the human body can benefit from extra dietary nucleic acids because during digestion they are destroyed and broken down to simpler compounds.
Written by Sir David Cannadine, Dodge Professor of History at Princeton University, the book describes how Mellon built his personal wealth by investing and running businesses in major industries, eventually becoming the Secretary of the Treasury under Presidents Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover.
He was also noted for founding the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Cannadine acknowledges the controversy that surrounds Mellon and the other industrialists of his era.
Like John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Henry Clay Frick, Andrew Carnegie, John Pierpont Morgan Sr., and William Randolph Hearst, the businessmen were part of a fundamental transformation of the American economy in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.
Thus, Mellon was an ardent supporter of the Republican party, and subsequently became the Secretary of the Treasury under President Harding.
During his time as Secretary of the Treasury, from 1921 to 1931, Mellon reduces the federal tax rate, reduced the national debt by a third, and restored the gold standard.
He then traces the events that led to Mellon's downfall: the Wall Street crash of 1929, the lost in confidence fro President Hoover, and his resignation from the Treasury in 1932.
Over the course of his life, Mellon gave away nearly $10 million, much of which went to charities in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the National Gallery of Art.
Robert Whaples, professor of economics at Wake Forest University, compliments the degree to which Cannadine remained sympathetic and fair to Mellon despite him being, as Cannadine describes, 'an unsympathetic person with unappealing politics'.
Christoph DeMuth, then President of the American Enterprise Institute, claimed the book was the best biography of Mellon thus far, and the only one.

The bras de Jacob (English: Jacob's arm) is a tributary of the rivière du Moulin, flowing successively in the Saguenay, then in the territory not organized from Lac-Ministuk, in the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The upper part of this small valley is served by the Lac-du-Bois-Joli road which passes on the north shore of Lac Jacob.
The surface of Jacob's arm is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March.

Green's Exchange, also known as Green's Auction Mart, was a business on King William Street, Adelaide, in the early colonial days of South Australia.
It was not the first, and by no means the only stock exchange in Adelaide, but was notable in its alternative use as a venue for large public meetings and performances.
He had studied civil engineering in Britain, but finding little demand for the profession, turned to land surveying, with offices at 65 King William Street adjacent the Bank of Australasia from 1850.
Green entered into partnership with J. H. Parr as auctioneers and commission agents sometime before September 1857 and W. G. Luxmoore joined before November that year.
He had a separate partnership with William Wadham (1824–1895) from around 1857; Wadham moved to partnership with George Dutton Green (1 May 1850 – 27 April 1911) as Green & Co.
He retired around 1880, though his involvement with the Exchange ceased around 1875, and returned to England, where he died, leaving a widow, two sons and two daughters.
In 1854 Green remodeled the interior, to make a large open room suitable for meetings, concerts and receptions, though the pillars supporting the roof structure made it unsuitable for use as a ballroom.
The southern side was then a vacant block, with a garden behind the railing fence; later an extension of the Bank of Australasia.
The northern side was a wine and spirits store used by R. H. Wigg, later the Bank of South Australia, and the Union Bank.
This building occupied the northernmost site of what became Bowman's Arcade, which occupied most of the eastern half of Town Acre 109.
Green's lease elapsed shortly after his son George Dutton Green and others erected the Pirie Street Exchange, and the site reverted to T. G. Waterhouse, for whom Broken Hill Chambers (opened 1890), was built on the site by William McLean of the Melbourne firm of McLean Brothers, Rigg & Co. to the design of English & Soward.
The freehold was sold to William Kither acting for Keith Bowman, and renamed Bowman's Arcade, which served Adelaide for a hundred years, and home of John Mack's camera shop.
The Pierce-Arrow had a front mounted engine protected by folding armoured panels, behind the engine was an enclosed driver's compartment with two armoured shutters, whilst the open-topped fighting compartment was at the rear.
The first 32 Pierce-Arrow armoured AA lorries were fitted with armoured plate, whilst the last 16 were fitted with armoured plate, the armour was bolted to a frame fitted to the chassis.
The 4x2 rear wheel driven chassis had a wheelbase of , it had leaf spring suspension and a 4-cylinder petrol engine that delivered .
On 30 December 1914 the Admiralty placed an order with Wolseley Motors Ltd for 48 Pierce-Arrow truck chassis to be converted to self-propelled anti-aircraft gun carriers for use by the Royal Marine Artillery Anti-Aircraft Brigade, all 48 were dilivered between April and June 1915.
Due to shortages of 2-pounders only two batteries received the vehicles by the end of April 1915, they were immediately dispatched to France.
Arriving at the front on 28 April, their first victory was claimed two days later on 30 April when the first enemy aircraft was shot down.
As more 2-pounders became available a third battery was added in August 1915 with the forth and final battery becoming operational in September.
During their period of employment with the Royal Marine Artillery Anti-Aircraft Brigade from April 2015 to the time they were replaced in service by QF 13-pounder 9 cwt guns in 1917, the Pierce-Arrows claimed over twenty German aircraft shot down.
The vehicle's contribution was to force enemy reconnaissance aircraft to fly at much greater altitude of up to where they were much less effective.
The No 1 Squadron, Royal Naval Armoured Car Division under Commander Oliver Locker-Lampson had one Pierce-Arrow during their expedition to Russia and the Causasus.
In January and February 1915 the War Office ordered a further 16 armoured AA lorries from Wolseley Ltd for use by the Imperial Russian Army, although these were built on the chassis of a Peerless Motor Company 5-ton truck.
In particular, the house where Nikolai Rubinstein and Pyotr Tchaikovsky lived in their youth was destroyed, as well as the hotel where Sergei Rachmaninoff lived.

The architectural style as a whole is characteristic of the Soviet administrative buildings of the 1960s–1970s, but at the same time, there are certain features postmodernism in the design of the portals and in the drawing of the crowning part of the structure.
It has rough ironbark on the trunk and branches, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and barrel-shaped or conical fruit.
Young plants and coppice regrowth have stems that are more or less square in cross-section and dull greyish green leaves that are egg-shaped, long and wide.
Adult leaves are the same shade of dull green on both sides, lance-shaped to broadly lance-shaped, long and wide, tapering to a petiole long.
The flower buds are arranged on the ends of branchlets in groups of seven on an branched peduncle long, the individual buds on pedicels long.
This eucalypt grows in rocky crevices on steep cliffs and is only known in a few places on the Gibraltar Range.

Copper Peak is an mountain summit located in the Entiat Mountains, a sub-range of the North Cascades, in Chelan County of Washington State.
Copper Peak is situated 80 miles northeast of Seattle in the Glacier Peak Wilderness, on land managed by the Wenatchee National Forest.
Precipitation runoff from the mountain and meltwater from the glacier on the southeast slope drains into nearby Lake Chelan via Railroad Creek.
As fronts approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades (Orographic lift).
With its impressive height, Copper Peak can have snow on it in late-spring and early-fall, and can be very cold in the winter.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks, ridges, and deep glacial valleys.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to the various climate differences.
In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.

As fronts approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades (Orographic lift).
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks, ridges, and deep glacial valleys.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to the various climate differences.
In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.

The threestripe gourami normally shows one or two, almost never three, dark stripes running the length of its body but there it lacks any strip along the base of the anal fin.
The elongated reare anal fin rays do not reach beyond the middle of the caudal fin which is lanceolate in shape.
The threestripe gourami is found throughout the Mekong basin from Laos, through Thailand and Cambodia, including the Tonle Sap to the Mekong Delta in Vietnam.
It can be found in a variety of habitats among which are swamp forest, peat swamps, floodplains, river tributaries, irrigation canals, paddy fields, and roadside ditches.
It appears to prefer very slow flowing or still waters where there is a dense growth of aquatic vegetation or thick plant cover along the shores.
When the female is ready to mate she will move to directly beneath the bubblenestand the male will wrap his body around hers.
The female normally produces about ten eggs per mating and after fertilisation these float up into the bubblenest with any stray eggs being collected by the male and placed in the nest.
The structure is made up of modified tendons of the pectoral fin with muscles which are stretched and plucked by the bottom of the front fin rays of the pectoral fin in like the strings of a guitar.
Each pectoral fin can be beaten in turn, and can produce short or long bursts of sound which are produced by both sexes.
These fishes may be able to settle antagonistic interactions as they can use the sounds produced to assess the condition and fitness of nearby fishes.
The species was first discovered and imported to Europe by the German aquarist Dietrich Schaller, who is honoured in its specific name.

Westfield Chodov is the largest shopping center in the Czech Republic with 300 shops, and the retail floor area is 100.000 m, the second largest in the country behind shopping centre Letňany.
It houses fashion shops, a Cinema City multiplex cinema, perfume and makeup boutiques, fast-food restaurants, cafes, restaurants, flower shops, bookstores, jewellery boutiques, electronic shops, sporting goods, dry cleaners, and shoe repair services.
On 12 July 1971 the D1 motorway was completed and on 7 November 1980 the Budovatelů metro station (today Chodov) was opened, and a new bus terminal was built there.
Around the same time, the Devětsil cultural house on Roztylská Street began to be built, but due to changes to the original socialist concept and a lack of finance, the construction was soon stopped, with only a part of the foundation built.
The construction ran according to schedule, but aggravated the surrounding environment with increased noise, dirt, and dust, with work often continuing overnight.
Another problem was the re-routing of pedestrian walkways in the vicinity, which extended the journeys of residents to the metro and for shopping.
The project also included a total reconstruction of parts of U Kunratického lesa, Roztylská, Pod Chodov and Brněnská (D1 motorway), which mostly meant repair of road surfaces and preparation of branches for planned parking space.
The old shelters and backgrounds from the 1980s were gradually dismantled and replaced with new exits, which were integrated with the main pavements being redesigned as part of the construction of the shopping center.
The primary investor for the project was the French company Unibail-Rodamco, the developer of AM Development; about four billion crowns were invested in the construction.
The opening ceremony took place on 9 November 2005, attended by Pavel Bém, the Mayor of Prague, and Marta Šorfová, the Mayor of Prague 11.
Large numbers of shoppers went to the center from early in the morning to buy goods in the various promotional offers.
First, at the beginning of 2015, the old shopping center Růže and the temporary parking lot of the Chodov Center were demolished, to make way for expansion.
The developer Unibail-Rodamco invested 4.4 billion crowns into the project, making it one of the largest retail project investments in the Czech Republic.
The shopping center was officially known as Centrum Chodov (sometimes referred to as OC Chodov) until September 26, 2019 when the center has been rebranded as Westfield Chodov to match the global brand of flagship shopping centers of Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, joining numerous centers in France, UK, Poland, Sweden and the USA.
The reconstructed center completed in 2017 resembled two large concrete blocks without windows, with a large gate for cars (underpass Roztylská street).
Floors -4, -3, -2 and -1 serve as an underground car park and 2 floors are reserved for the car park of the park and ride system connecting to metro C at Chodov, one of the largest in Prague with a capacity of over 600 cars.
In the second part of the center there is a monumental circular area, whose walls are plastered with a brick decoration.
There are 272 classical shops and 42 restaurants (2019), including fashion shops, perfume and makeup boutiques, flower shops, bookstores, jewellery boutiques, electronic shops, sporting goods, dry cleaners, and shoe repair services, as well as banks, travel agencies, mobile phone operators, hairdressers, and cafes.
The biggest sales area is Albert hypermarket in the center of the building (floor -2) with a sales area of 13,000 m. Retailers with branches in the shopping center include AJ Armani Jeans, Tommy Hilfiger, H&M, Zara, Promod, Swarovski, Sephora, MAC, Crabtree & Evelyn, Nike, and Foot Locker.
Cafes and restaurants are situated throughout the center, with a dedicated fast food area in the first and second floor of the south-western part of the center.
Before the reconstruction of 2017, this zone was located on the first floor of the northern part of the building overlooking the D1 and old Chodov.
There is a large bus stop on Roztylská Street served by bus lines 115, 135, 154, 177 and 197, as of January 2017.

Interfacial rheology is a branch of rheology that studies the flow of matter at the interface between a gas and a liquid or at the interface between two immiscible liquids.
Unlike in bulk rheology, the deformation of the bulk phase is not of interest in interfacial rheology and its effect is aimed to be minimized.
In this case, two barriers that limit the interfacial area are being oscillated sinusoidally and the change in surface tension measured.
The equations are similar to dilatational interacial rheology but shear modulus is often marked with G instead of E like in dilational methods.
This method is often used in combination with a Langmuir trough in order to be able to conduct the experiment as a function of the packing density of the molecules or particles.
The response depends on the layer composition, and thus interfacial rheology is relevant in many applications in which adsorbed layer play a crucial role, for example in development surfactants, foams and emulsions.
Interfacial rheology enables the study of surfactant kinetics, and the viscoelastic properties of the adsorbed interfacial layer correlate well with emulsion and foam stability.
Polymers, such as proteins, are surface active and tend to adsorb at the interface, where they can change conformation and influence the interfacial properties.
Natural surfactants like asphaltenes and resins stabilize water-oil emulsions in crude oil applications, and by understanding their behavior the crude oil separation process can be enhanced.

Maisie Renault (13 December 1907 – 7 April 2003) was a French Resistance fighter, a member of the Confrérie Notre-Dame network, she was arrested in 1942 and deported to the Ravensbrück concentration camp in 1944.
Her father was Léon Renault, professor of philosophy and English and inspector general of an insurance company and her mother Marie Decker was daughter of composer Théodore Decker.
Her other siblings included Isabelle, born on 26 August 1923 and Philippe, born 29 March 1915, killed in Lübeck-Neustadt Bay, 3 May 1945, both members of the Confrérie Notre Dame-Castille network and both also deported.
She spent a short time with her brother Gilbert in Gabon before returning home as the accountant for an agricultural cooperative.
Renault joined in December 1940 and by the same time the following year she joined their Paris headquarters on rue Madame.
Renault was responsible for sorting the information to go to London, prioritising it and transcribing the coded language and ensuring the radio operators had the details needed.
Initially Renault was isolated and kept incommunicado in La Santé prison, then in Fresnes Prison until March 1943 before she was moved to Romainville and Compiègne.
As soon as Renault's health was stable and she had received all the necessary medical care, she began to write down her memories of the deportation.
She asked her brother to edit it and rearrange it into chapters but he decided to leave it as she had written it.
She was sunk on 3 December 1944 after being torpedoed by the German submarine on its way to St John with a loss of 43 crew.
On 11 September 1942 while moored at the harbour of Bridgetown, Barbados she was fired upon by with multiple G7e torpedoes at a distance of .
She was raised and then towed to the port at Trinidad and then towed again to Mobile on 24 January 1943.
The ship's captain, Emerson Robinson, was instructed to sail unescorted through the Cape Cod Canal and then up the coast of New England before finally arriving at their destination Saint John.
The crew attempted to lower the amidships lifeboat on the starboard side but the lifeboat was caught on the davits rendering it unusable.
Of the 48 crew members, only 6 would escape the sinking vessel and make their way to a lifeboat which had floated free when the vessel sunk.
Yves Pomeau, born in 1942, is a French mathematician and physicist, emeritus research director at the CNRS and corresponding member of the French Academy of sciences.
He was a researcher at the CNRS from 1965 to 2006, ending his career as DR0 in the Physics Department of the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) (Statistical Physics Laboratory) in 2006.
He was a lecturer in physics at the École Polytechnique for two years (1982–1984), then a scientific expert with the Direction générale de l'armement until January 2007.
He was a Visiting Professor at MIT in Applied Mathematics in 1986 and in Physics at UC San Diego in 1993.
His work has had a profound influence in several areas of physics, and in particular on the mechanics of continuous media.
In his thesis he showed that in a dense fluid the interactions are different from what they are at equilibrium and propagate through hydrodynamic modes, which leads to the divergence of transport coefficients in 2 spatial dimensions.
Together with Paul Manneville they discovered a new mode of transition to turbulence, the transition by temporal intermittency, which was confirmed by numerous experimental observations.
In papers published in 1973 and 1976, Hardy, Pomeau and de Pazzis introduced the first Lattice Boltzmann model, which is called the HPP model after the authors.
Generalizing ideas from his thesis, together with Uriel Frisch and Brosl Hasslacher, they found a very simplified microscopic fluid model (FHP model) which allows to simulate very efficiently the complex movements of a real fluid .
Reflecting on the situation of the transition to turbulence in parallel flows, he showed that turbulence is caused by a contagion mechanism, and not by local instability.
The consequence is that this transition belongs to the class of directed percolation phenomena in statistical physics, which has also been amply confirmed by experimental and numerical studies.
From his more recent work we must distinguish those concerning a phenomenon typically out of equilibrium, that of the emission of photons by an atom maintained in an excited state by an intense field that creates Rabi oscillations.
The theory of this phenomenon requires a precise consideration of the statistical concepts of quantum mechanics in a theory satisfying the fundamental constraints of such a theory.
With Martine Le Berre and Jean Ginibre they showed that the good theory was that of a Kolmogorov equation based on the existence of a small parameter, the ratio of the photon emission rate to the atomic frequency itself.
The theory of superconductivity is based on the idea of the formation of pairs of electrons that become more or less bosons undergoing Bose-Einstein condensation.
Together with Len Pismen and Sergio Rica they have shown that, going back to Onsager's idea explaining the quantification of the circulation in fundamental quantum states, it is not necessary to use the notion of electron pairs to understand this halving of the circulation quantum.
He showed that the discrepancies appearing in the hydrodynamics of the moving contact line on a solid surface could only be eliminated by taking into account the evaporation/condensation near this line.
Nevertheless with Serge Mora and collaborators they have shown theoretically and experimentally that soft gel filaments are subject to Rayleigh-Plateau instability, an instability never observed before for a solid.

In the 1870s the navy in the Dutch East Indies consisted of an auxiliary squadron of four ships from the Netherlands, and the colonial navy of 22 ships.
In May 1873 a budget law was proposed to increase the 1873 budget for the Dutch East Indies budget by 5.5 million guilders.
Of this increase 1,400,000 guilders were meant for four steamships 4th class; 720,000 for two iron paddle steamers and 200,000 for ten steam launches.
In a longer comment on the budget change, the government noted that the ships of the Indische Militaire Marine were made out of oak, and therefore not suitable for long service in the tropics.
The four composite built ships of the Riouw type and the Sumatara steam paddle vessel would leave for the Indies in 1873.
Therefore four more ships of the Riouw type (the Pontianak class) and one extra steam paddle vessel type Sumatra were required.
The government also said that: Naval officers and ship building engineers agreed that the improved screw steam ships fourth class were an excellent type of ship for the tasks of the Indische Militaire Marine.
As regards spaciousness and ventilation they did not suffer from the defects of the old steam ships fourth class, and offered the officers and men lodgings suitable to the Indian climate.
They were especially recommended for 'station duty' (stationsdienst, many outposts had a ship posted in place for a long time) because of their moderate coal consumption.
For the service these ships were just as useful as the screw steam ships third class, but they required less men.
(18 December 1873 – 16 May 1874), four more steam ships fourth class, meant for the East Indies, were laid down and more paddle ships were started.
It can be asserted below that the four screw steam ships arriving in the Indies about September 1874 indeed were four ships of the Pontianak class.
She had the same dimensions, displacement and nominal power as the rest of the class , but she was build for the Dutch navy.
The ships of the Pontiak class were to join in executing the five tasks of the navy during the Aceh war.
These were: blockading the coast of Aceh; supporting landing operations; transporting men and equipment of the expedition force; executing all kinds of communication services; executing punitive expeditions on the coast.
The Vesuvius class had length * beam * draught 45.5 * 9.2 * 4.3 m, the Pontianaks 42.0 * 8.8 * 3.6 m. In other words, the Vesuvius class was much longer, wider and deeper than the Pontianaks, and yet displacement was almost the same.
It reflects Tideman's note that the requirement that the ships should draw more than 3.5 m of water made the lines of the ships 'somewhat fuller than would otherwise have been desirable'.
The Pontianak and Bandjermasin arrived at Aceh, East Indies on 11 September 1874 On their way to Aceh the Palembang and Sambas reached Galle on Sri Lanka on 30 September 1874.
The 2019 Revline Toruń FIM Speedway Grand Prix of Poland was the tenth and final race of the 2019 Speedway Grand Prix season.
The Speedway Grand Prix Commission nominated Adrian Miedziński as the wild card, and Jakub Miśkowiak and Karol Żupiński both as Track Reserves.
It was the third win Grand Prix win of Madsen's career, and his second in a row after winning the 2019 Speedway Grand Prix of Great Britain.
Despite scoring a maximum 21 points, Madsen could not overhaul Zmarzlik in the race for the world title - losing out by just two points.
Sayfutdinov and Madsen both closed in on overall leader Zmarzlik by claiming 17 points, however the Pole's third place meant he took a nine-point lead into the final round of the year in Toruń (see intermediate classification table below).

Since 1974 he has been working as the editor of the Hindemith Complete Edition at the in Frankfurt, which he directed from 1991 to 2011.
He is co-editor of the Kurt Weill complete edition and member of the editorial board of the Bohuslav Martinů Complete Edition.
He has also taught in other higher education establishments (Pierre-et-Marie-Curie University, École des mines de Paris, École nationale des ponts et chaussées, École nationale supérieure de techniques avancées, École centrale Paris).
They are focused on the transition from microscopic to macroscopic material mechanics, at the crossroads between the mechanics of continuous media and materials science.
His research work has been devoted to investigating the relationships between the microstructure of mesoscale materials (scale of polycrystal grains, inclusions or fibres in composites, phase domains in multiphase materials...) and their macroscopic mechanical behaviour, both in deformation and damage.
In this framework, his contributions focus on the design, development and use of theoretical, methodological and experimental tools to link the microscopic and macroscopic scales in materials mechanics.
He then (1972-90) developed a mechanistic approach to crystal plasticity: characterization and representation of latent strain-hardening for different classes of single crystals, prediction of its role in the strain-hardening of polycrystals, the formation of crystallographic textures and the initiation of plastic instabilities in large deformations (shear bands...); analysis of the mechanical influence of grain boundaries , triple junctions and intergranular sliding on the plasticity of multicrystals and polycrystals.

It became a home for Royal Engineers training regiments after the war and, as consolidation of those regiments took place in 1959, it served as the home of 1 Training Regiment Royal Engineers in the 1960s and early 1970s.
Although the military training area still exists, the site is now largely occupied by a modern housing estate which was built in the 1980s.
Herman Christopher Paus (4 May 1897 – 11 March 1983) was a Norwegian competitive skiier, who was among the pioneers of Nordic combined and ski jumping in the 1910s and 1920s.
A relative of playwright Henrik Ibsen, Herman Paus was married to Leo Tolstoy's granddaughter Tatiana Tolstoy-Paus; as such he was the son-in-law of Count Lev Lvovich Tolstoy.
He grew up at Bygdøy near Oslo; his father Karl L. Paus was an engineer and steel industrialist, and a first cousin of playwright Henrik Ibsen.
Since the late 1910s Herman Paus was active in competitive skiing in Norway as a member of SFK Lyn; he participated in numerous national and international competitions.
Herman Paus was educated as an agronomist at Vinterlandbruksskolen in Christiania, then at Pederstrup in Denmark and Valinge manor in Sweden.
In 1923 he became manager of the Herresta estate, owned by his relative, papal chamberlain and count Christopher Tostrup Paus, who spent most of his time in Rome.
They were paternal second cousins, but Christopher Tostrup Paus was also his mother's first cousin; both were descended from wealthy timber merchant Christopher Tostrup.
In early 1940 the engagement between Herman Paus and Countess Tatiana Tolstoy was announced; a member of the Tolstoy family, Tatiana was the last surviving grandchild of Leo Tolstoy.
Herman and Tatiana Paus had four children, and their descendants own the Herresta and Näsbyholm estates in Södermanland; their daughter Tatiana Paus is known as one of the personal friends of the King and Queen of Sweden.
The Pierce-Arrow armoured lorry was a heavy armoured car mounting a QF 3-pounder Vickers gun, it was used by the Royal Naval Air Service during the First World War.
The Pierce-Arrow armoured lorry was a turreted armoured lorry based on an imported American Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company 5-ton truck chassis with added armoured bodywork, it was armed with a turreted QF 3-pounder Vickers gun.
The Pierce-Arrow had a front mounted engine protected by folding armoured panels, behind the engine was an enclosed driver's compartment a single two armoured shutter, the turret was behind the driver's compartment.
The Pierce-Arrow armoured lorry used the same chassis as the Pierce-Arrow armoured AA lorry, it used identical bonnet armour as the latter whilst the driver's compartment was reduced to half width to allow the main gun to fire forwards.
Construction of the two Pierce-Arrow armoured lorries was carried out by W. G. Allen & Sons in Tipton, who used armoured plate for the fighting compartment, the turret turntables were manufactured by John Shearman & Co at Newport, Wales, where the RNAS had a depot to service armoured cars.
The two vehicles were dispatched to Russia in 1916 with No 1 Squadron, Royal Naval Armoured Car Division under Commander Oliver Locker-Lampson for the expedition to Russia and the Causasus.
Throughout the campaign the Pierce-Arrows provided heavy fire support to the lighter Lanchester armoured cars that made up the bulk of the force.
In Russia the weight proved to be too heavy for the chassis so the turrets were removed, and the guns were mounted on a pedestal with a shield, and the hull sides were filled in with flat plates.
Nagendra Saklani was a communist leader who sacrificed his life while trying to defend the liberated Kirt Nagar division of the princely state of Tehri Garhwal from the retake bid by the royal forces of Tehri State on 11 January 1948.
Nagendra Saklani was born on 16 November 1920 in the village of Pujar Gaon in Saklana Patti of the princely state of Tehri Garhwal.
During his school days he came in contact with the Praja Mandal activities in the erstwhile princely state of Tehri and joined the organization to actively participate in the freedom movement.
Saklani was actively involved in organizing the activities of Praja Mandal, an offshoot of the Congress that worked exclusively in the princely states of India during the British occupation.
He was amongst the first batch of students of Anand Swaroop Bhardwaj, a young Marxist from Allahabad, sent to Dehradun to formally establish the communist party in the Garhwal region.
His activities infuriated a faction of Praja Mandal leaders who were interested in following a liberal approach in dealing with the King of the princely state of Tehri.
However few young activists like Bhudev Lakhera, Trepan Singh Negi and Inder Singh Rana continued to collaborate with Nagendra Saklani in assisting the peasants' movement.
On 15 August 1947, India became an independent country, however, rule of the king in the princely state of Tehri still continued.
The villagers of the Saklana revolted against the new taxes imposed by the Jageerdar of Saklana, a small state within the princely state of Tehri.
On 13 September 1947, the King sent an army contingent to Saklana to enforce new taxes and collect penalties from the villages.
A few days later the Muaafidar (landlord) of Sakalana Patti cancelled all its treaties with the princely state and announced the merger of Saklana with the union of India.
However next day, that is on 11 January 1948, a contingent of royal army under the command of Jagdish Dobhal arrived from Narendra Nagar with orders to forcibly retake the Kirti Nagar court and other buildings.
Trepan Singh Negi a Praja Mandal activist, Devi Dutt Tiwari a communist leader, Dada Daulat Ram, a peasant leader and Triloki Nath Purvar a congress volunteer played an important role in controlling the crowd.
The state was now in the hands of revolutionaries who ran the administration till 1 August 1949, when the princely state of Tehri was legally merged within the union of India.

FCA Heritage is the FCA Group’s department established to protect and promote the historic legacy - both automotive and archival - of the Italian brands Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia and Abarth.
It was founded in Torino in 2015 to coordinate all the activities which, up to that moment, had been conducted individually by the brands to promote their historical and cultural heritage.
In the 1960s and 1970s, several Italian automotive manufacturers (that later merged into the FCA Group) launched programmes to protect and promote their historical heritage, which led to the opening of the Centro Storico Fiat (Fiat Historical Center) in Turin in 1963 and, later, of the Lancia Museum in 1971.
Both the Alfa Romeo Museum and the Centro Storico Fiat are still in operation and house the automotive collections and historical production records of their respective brands, in addition to archival collections which include technical drawings and designs, advertising materials, financial and industrial documentation, films and images.
In the same years, Fiat acquired Autobianchi in 1968, Ferrari and Lancia in 1969, Abarth in 1971, Alfa Romeo in 1986 and finally Innocenti and Maserati in 1990.
The Lancia Museum, located in Borgo San Paolo in Turin closed in 1993 and the cars of its collection were transferred to an industrial building belonging to the Fiat Group in Beinasco.
The collection of the brands's record-breaking and rally racing cars was put on display in the new Abarth headquarters, located in the industrial hub of Mirafiori.
Fiat S.p.A. and Chrysler Group in 2014 merged to become FCA and FCA Heritage was founded the following year to expand the Abarth experience to the Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Lancia brands.
The automotive designer had led the Centro Stile Fiat (FCA EMEA Design Center) and is the creator of Fiat Multipla and Fiat 500.
In addition to the over 300 cars at the Hub, the FCA Heritage collection includes some 30 vintage Fiat cars on display in the Centro Storico Fiat and more than 250 Alfa Romeo cars kept in the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese.
FCA Heritage works to protect the historical heritage of the brands of the Group by periodically restoring and maintaining the cars in the company's collection.
FCA Heritage has listed and mapped all the official Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia and Abarth clubs and takes part in international exhibitions dedicated to vintage cars in official capacity, including Concours d'Elegance, rallies, classic car gatherings and specialised motor shows, such as Goodwood Festival of Speed, Rétromobile, the Geneva Motor Show, Mille Miglia, the Cesana-Sestriere rally and Targa Florio.
FCA Heritage donated a Fiat 500 F to the MOMA in New York and has established relationships with the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Triennale Design Museum in Milan, the Musée National de la Voiture in Compiègne and the Technik Museum in Sinsheim which in 2019 dedicated the opening exhibition of its new display area to the history of Alfa Romeo.
In June 2007, a man was arrested on suspicion of being the perpetrator, and was charged with five counts of rape and two counts of sexual assault.
The suspected perpetrator was linked to at least one of the crime scenes via DNA evidence, with authorities also discovering that he had been convicted of rape in neighboring Norway.
In November 2008, the suspect was convicted by the Gothenburg District Court for four cases of serious rape and one sexual assault, and sent off to a closed psychiatric care clinic.
The rapist had the habit of lounging over his victims, who were asleep in their bed, and then held up a knife to the victim's neck, so they couldn't resist.
He spent eight years as a branch officer before, in 1886, he was elected as assistant general secretary of the union, then in 1894 he became general secretary.
He also supported the Labour Representation Committee, and backed his old friend Arthur Henderson as the union's first sponsored Parliamentary candidate.
The tour was sponsored by A. Mosely, who later proposed a Civic Federation Scheme of compulsory negotiations, which Maddison backed, but the union as a whole rejected.
A stomacher - sometimes called a devant de corsage - is a piece of jewellery worn on the centre panel of the bodice of a dress, which is itself also called a stomacher.
In the 18th and 19th century, stomachers became large, eye-catching pieces of jewellery to be worn with formal court gowns or ball gowns.
If it consists of one element, this is best described as a large and elaborate brooch to be worn at the top of the bodice, in the centre of the neckline.
A stomacher that consists of more than one element often has the overall shape of an inverted triangle: the element to be worn at the neckline is widest, with the lower elements tapering downwards towards the waist and covering the entire centre panel of the bodice.
Ever since the Renaissance, the centre panels of bodices were adorned with precious stones and pearls that were sewn to the fabric.
The stomacher as a separate piece of jewellery became popular in the second half of the 18th century and was worn until the beginning of the 20th century.
It provides an insurance backed guarantee underwritten by Great Lakes Insurance SE and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which allows tenants to pay less upfront when renting.
Co-founded by Jon Notley, a former Commercial director at Zoopla, Gavin Wiseman and Ben Austin, Zero Deposit is the trading name of Global Property Ventures Limited and is partnered with insurance industry leader Munich Re.
The Zero Deposit Guarantee is an option instead of the traditional rental cash deposit, in the form of an insurance backed guarantee paid for by the tenant.
Instead of paying a cash deposit, tenants pay a premium equal to one week’s rent to move into their new home.
Zero Deposit is partnered with thousands of letting agents across England and Wales as well as the national landlord association and the residential landlord association.
A number of letting agencies, including Countrywide, Connells, Douglas and Gordon, Foxtons, Barnard Marcus, Knight Frank, John D Wood, Acorn Group, and KFH have signed up to Zero Deposit to provide their customers with deposit replacement scheme.

John Thure Charles Walentin Svahlstedt (born May 2, 1947), dubbed Södermannen, Hagamannen and Fönstermannen by the police and media alike, is a Swedish serial rapist active in the areas of Södermalm, Stockholm and Haga, Gothenburg from the 1970s to 1980s.
Armed with a knife and wearing a mask, Svahlstedt first started raping women in Gothenburg's Haga district from 1971 to 1973.
When he was arrested, he admitted a total of 13 rapes, and was sentenced to four years of imprisonment for 26 assaults.
He never admitted his guilt, but was still convicted of six counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault, deprivation of liberty, unlawful infringement and fraud.
In 2013, Svahlstedt was convicted of raping a minor and purchasing child pornography, after raping a young girl for two years.

The surface of the Dry arm is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March.
Le Bras Sec rises at the mouth of Lake Catellier (length: ; altitude: ) in a forest area in the zec Mars-Moulin.
The Sec arm flows into a bend in the west bank of the rivière du Moulin, near (west side) of Coupau lake.
From the mouth of the Sec arm, the current successively follows the course of the rivière du Moulin on generally north, then the course from the Saguenay River on eastwards to Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence Estuary.

The proposal was revived in 1891, when the FSIF established links with the Iron Moulders' Society of Victoria, Iron Molders' Union of North America, Machinery Moulders' Union of America, shortly followed by the Hungarian Trade Union of Ironfounders.
The group also corresponded with the Iron and Metal Founders and Their Labourers of Lower Austria, a Swiss union and three other Australian unions, but by the end of 1892, it had ceased to operate.
In 1949, a mixture of opposition to the federation's withdrawal from the World Federation of Trade Unions, and the IMF's refusal to create a sectoral organisation for foundry workers, led six unions to form the International Federation of Foundry Workers (IFF).
This consisted of the National Union of Foundry Workers, International Molders and Foundry Workers Union of North America, and four Scandinavian unions.
The unions retained their IMF membership, and in 1951, the IMF organised a foundry workers' sectoral meeting, which agreed to establish a foundry workers' section.
The IMF committee vetoed the proposal, arguing that foundry work cut across many areas of the federation's work, and it offered only a consultation among foundry workers about the best way to represent them.

Albert Bijaoui (born in Monastir in 1943) is a French astronomer, former student of the Ecole Polytechnique (X 1962), renowned in image processing in astrophysics and its application in cosmology, he then prepared his PhD thesis at the Paris Observatory, under the supervision of André Lallemand.
Trainee then Research Associate at the CNRS at the Paris Observatory, then at the Nice Observatory, he became an Astronomer at the Nice Observatory in 1972.
He was Director of the Centre de Dépouillement des Clichés Astronomiques at the Institut National d'Astronomie et de Géophysique between 1973 and 1981.
During the preparation of his thesis, he contributed to the development of electronography with the study and interpretation of the properties of André Lallemand's electronic camera.
With the creation in 1973 of the Centre de Dépouillement des Clichés Astronomiques at Nice Observatory, he was involved in the development of new methods for the analysis of astrophysical data and in the creation of software to exploit them for the French astronomical community.
With the commissioning of INAG's Schmidt telescope on the Calern plateau near Caussols in the Alpes-Maritimes, INAG has become involved in the analysis of large images of the sky obtained with this type of instrument.
The resulting exploitation of galaxy counts led him to introduce the use of wavelet transforme and multi-scale methods in the processing of astronomical data.
At the same time, it has explored the application in astronomy of many data analysis methods, such as Bayesian analysis, mathematical morphology or blind source separation methods, multi-band image analysis.
In particular, he has developed specific tools for the determination of the atmospheric parameters of stars from their spectra, with model grid learning.

The Apponyi Library or (in Latin) Bibliotheca Apponiana refers to the book and print collection initially assembled in Vienna by Count Anton Georg (or Antal György) Apponyi and maintained with alterations by his descendants in the Apponyi family until 1935.
Following his death in 1817, his son Anton (Antal) bought out his siblings' share, for the financing of which he had to sell several thousands of books.
In 1825, Anton Apponyi decided to move it all to a dedicated building open to the public in Pressburg (Pozsony, today's Bratislava), making it the first public library in the territory of today's Slovakia.
The move was celebrated at the time as a Hungarian patriotic gesture, since Pressburg was then part of the Kingdom of Hungary.
In 1846, following disagreements with the municipality on the library's management and cost-sharing, Anton Apponyi closed the Pressburg facility and moved its content to the Apponyi family's ancestral home in Appony (now Oponice, Slovakia), where a dedicated neoclassical wing was built for that purpose.
The library stayed there until World War II, despite some of its contents being dispersed in sales because of the Apponyi family's recurrent financial needs.
More of the contents was dispersed in the late 1930s following the end of Apponyi family ownership of the Oponice domain in 1935, and lost to negligence during Communism.
Some of remaining books were transferred by the Matica slovenská to its facility in Bratislava in 1965, then all of them (including those in Bratislava) to Martin in 1972, while the wooden interior of the library wing in Oponice was destroyed.
The damaged books were restored in Martin, then the library was again transferred to storage in in 1992, and eventually reinstalled in Oponice in 2011 following the Apponyi castle's renovation.
The creation of the library owes much to Agostino Michelazzi (1732-1820), a former Jesuit who built it up on behalf of Count Anton Georg Apponyi.
Gruber appears to have been instrumental in persuading Count Anton Apponyi to move the library from Vienna to Pressburg in the early 1820s, and remained Librarian of the Apponyi Public Library until 1833.
Franciscan friar and historian Vševlad J. Gajdoš (1907-1978) studied and preserved the Apponyi Library while working at the Matica slovenská between 1956 and 1958.
The remaining portion of the original collection has been kept since 2011 in the renovated Apponyi Castle in Oponice, Slovakia as a branch of the Slovak National Library, together with parts of the collection assembled by the Zay (or Zai) family from Uhrovec (Ugrócz), formerly stored in Bojnice Castle and also studied by Vševlad J. Gajdoš.
This is ironic but not surprising, given the comparatively late emergence of Slovak as a written language, and the Apponyi family's association with Magyarization policies.

Itapevi–São Paulo (Butantã) Metropolitan Corridor, with of extension, starts in Itapevi Bus Terminal, connected with CPTM Line 8-Diamond, in Itapevi, and goes to ViaQuatro Butantã station of Line 4-Yellow, in São Paulo.
In its first phase, the corridor with approximately connects Itapevi and Jandira, along with stations Itapevi, Engenheiro Cardoso, Sagrado Coração and Jandira.
Throughout the 20th century, roads were built, as the old road towards Itu was replaced by a highway (current SP-312) on 1 May 1922.
This road became (beside Sorocabana railway and future Castelo Branco and Raposo Tavares highways) one of the transport corridors that boosted the region growth, being one of the points of population densification that went there.
In 1934, the first regular bus lines began operating between Carapicuíba, Largo da Batata and Lapa, which became the main regional centres of West Side São Paulo.
In the next 30 years, the cities of São Paulo, Santana de Paraíba and Cotia break up, creating new cities: Itapevi (1949), Barueri (1949), Osasco (1962), Carapicuíba (1964) and Jandira (1964).
Besides the construction was never initiated, EMTU keeps planning the corridor (now called West Road Corridor) through the 1980s and 1990s.

He opposed the takeover of the province by al-Hasan ibn Ubayd Allah ibn Tughj and joined the Qarmatians, fighting with them against the Fatimids until 974.
After the defeat of the second Qarmatian invasion of Egypt in that year, Akhu Muslim fled to Arabia, pursued by Fatimid agents.
Akhu Muslim was a descendant of Husayn ibn Ali through Ali Zayn al-Abidin, who had settled in Medina after Husayn's death in the Battle of Karbala.
There the Husaynids had become the most prominent local family, and in the early 10th century, some of them had migrated to Egypt.
Akhu Muslim had two older brothers: Abu Ja'far Muslim, the elder brother, who was considered the leading Alid of his time and after whom Akhu Muslim himself was nicknamed, and Abu'l-Husayn Isa.
Contemporary accounts and later historians portray Akhu Muslim as a proud and haughty man; Kafur's court fool, Sibawaih, is known to have frequently ridiculed him for this.
Nevertheless, Akhu Muslim apparently possessed some military ability, as he was entrusted by the Ikhshidid ruler Abu'l-Misk Kafur with command of an army sent to protect the Hajj pilgrimage of 965 from attacks by the Bedouin tribe of the Banu Sulaym in Syria.
Although not entirely successful in his mission—the constant Bedouin and Qarmatian raids on the overland Hajj caravans and the inability of the Ikhshidid regime to stop them led to their temporary cessation after 965—a few months before his death in April 968, Kafur appointed Akhu Muslim as governor of Palestine.
Allying himself with a local Bedouin leader, Timal al-Khafaji of the Banu Uqayl, Akhu Muslim attacked al-Hasan near Ramla, but was defeated.
Akhu Muslim did not give up his ambitions, however: claiming for himself the heritage of the Alids, he is reported to have proclaimed himself caliph and to have claimed the title of Mahdi.
The Ikhshidid prince was defeated and obliged to pay tribute to the Qarmatians, while Akhu Muslim, who distinguished himself in the battle, was given a command in the Qarmatian army.
According to the 15th-century historian Idris Imad al-Din, Akhu Muslim led the Fatimid expedition against Byzantine-held Antioch in 970, which was abandoned after the defeat at the Battle of Alexandretta.
This is obviously an error, however, as Akhu Muslim was staunchly opposed to the Fatimids and at the time was allied with the Qarmatians against them.
In August/September 971, the Qarmatians under al-Hasan al-As'am defeated the Fatimid general Ja'far ibn Fallah and captured Damascus, before once again taking Ramla.
A Fatimid army sent to reinforce Ibn Fallah under Sa'adat ibn Hayyan withdrew to Jaffa, and Akhu Muslim was placed in charge of besieging it, along with the Qarmatian Abu'l-Munaja Abdallah ibn Ali and the Uqayli leader Zalim ibn Mawhub, while al-As'am led the bulk of his forces into Egypt.
Akhu Muslim was the nominal leader of the allied Qarmatian–Bedouin army against the Fatimids, but the alliance disintegrated in 973 due to infighting between the Qarmatians and the Bedouin, allowing the Fatimids to seize again control of Palestine and southern Syria.
This new ascendancy did not last long, as the Qarmatians regrouped and drove the Fatimids out of the area in 973.
In spring 974, the Qarmatians even launched a second invasion of Egypt, where the local populace, exhausted by the Fatimids' heavy taxation, supported them.
While the main Qarmatian army under al-As'am occupied the Nile Delta, Akhu Muslim led a smaller force south, bypassed the Fatimid capital Cairo, and encamped between Asyut and Akhmim.
Alarmed, both Caliph al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah and the Fatimid chief missionary, Abu Ja'far Nasr, who had befriended Akhu Muslim before the Fatimid conquest, wrote to him to persuade him to abandon the Qarmatian cause, but in vain.
At the end of the month, however, the Fatimids under al-Mu'izz's son Abdallah managed to destroy the main Qarmatian army near Ayn Shams.
The latter, having been warned by carrier pigeon, of their approach, could not hope to stand against them with his small army.
While watering his horse at the Nile, Akhu Muslim narrowly escaped capture by a Fatimid patrol; his Bedouin companion allowed himself to be caught and claimed to be Akhu Muslim, giving the latter the opportunity to escape.
After an arduous journey, narrated in detail by al-Maqrizi, Akhu Muslim managed to cross Egypt and made for the Hejaz, where evidently hoped to find shelter with his brother-in-law.
When he landed at the port of Aynuna, he was again nearly captured by a Fatimid patrol: the soldiers seized his coat, but he cut it with his sword and managed to escape the pursuit thanks to the speed of his horse.
He settled in the great mosque of Medina for a while, until notices for his arrest were put up across the city; he then moved on, making for al-Ahsa, the capital of the Qarmatian state of Bahrayn.
The Qarmatians gave him scant welcome and support, and Akhu Muslim once again departed, now determined to seek the aid of the Buyids in Baghdad.
He was betrayed by his erstwhile allies, however: threatened by the Buyids, the Qarmatians had opened negotiations with the Fatimids, and as a token of good faith, moved to eliminate the troublesome Akhu Muslim.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 for its local significance in the themes of architecture, exploration/settlement, and transportation.
It was nominated for being one of Minnesota's few surviving stagecoach inns, for its stone architecture, and for its association with the pioneer era of Harmony Township.
Recent immigrant Daniel Dayton, seeing a business opportunity in the trail's arrival, built a single-story log building in 1855 in the village of Big Spring, northwest of Harmony.
The first and second floors contained framed beds, slide-out trundles, and floor mattresses for overnight guests; extra sleeping space was available in the small attic.
In addition to providing rooms to travelers, Ravine House also functioned as a livery, a store, a post office, and a private farm residence.
Dayton and his sons, Aaron and Zara, operated Ravine House as an overnight stop for stagecoach travelers until 1866, when use of the Dubuque–St.
Although a railroad line (the Milwaukee Road) wouldn't arrive in Harmony until 1879, other lines opened across the region in the 1860s and 1870s, drawing away traffic from the once-busy stage route.
Ravine House was then used as a private residence for several decades until 1952, when it was abandoned and used as feed and hay storage for livestock.
Every effort was made to return the historic structure to its original condition, and in 1977, Ravine House was added to the National Register.

Smith comes from a line of dentists and educators, including her grandfather, B. Holly Smith, Sr., MD, DDS (1958-1920) and her uncle, B. Holly Smith, Jr. DDS (1885-1956).
All were named after Smith’s great-grandfather, Bennett Holloway Smith (1824-1902), who served as a circuit rider for the ME Church in Virginia and Maryland during the Civil War.
Smith was awarded a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1983 for her dissertation, Dental Attrition in Hunter-Gatherers and Agriculturalists.
From 1978-1983, she worked as a research assistant and research investigator in the Center for Human Growth and Development at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
After receiving her Ph.D., Smith was a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology at Arizona State University from 1984-1985.
Starting in March 2018, Smith started as a research professor in the Center for Advanced Study of Human Paleobiology at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
Since 1986, she has been invited to lecture at several institutions and conferences, including State University of New York at Stony Brook, University College London, University of Washington, Duke University, University of Tennessee, Computense University Madrid, Max Planck Institute of Evolutionary Anthropology, and International Society of Dental Morphology in Griefswald, Germany.
She evaluated the dental development of an accused immigrant to determine whether that individual was a juvenile or an adult at the time of the crime, which was a death penalty offense.
The majority of Smith's work has either been in expeditions to sites or research in museums in countries in Northern Europe and Eastern Africa.
Her research into dental development made major contributions to the scientific understanding of the maturation of early hominids and the evolution of human life history.
In the article, she suggests that the life history of australopiths was much closer to that of apes than modern humans, but at some point, the life cycle of hominids slowed to the rate and structure seen in Homo sapiens.
Though a lot about this transition remains unknown, Smith emphasizes that new comparative methods of study will hopefully reveal further insights.
Her work has been influenced by her detailed research on three juvenile skeletons: the type specimen of Darwinius masillae, the Nariokotome Homo erectus skeleton, and the type specimen of Maiacetus inuus.
She is currently researching the differences in life history between primates and other mammals, with a particular focus on birth, infancy, weaning, tooth eruption, and the transition to independent feeding.

The Battle of Pedum was fought in 358 BC, near Pedum between the Roman Republic and a group of Gauls who had entered Latium.
The Romans, led by dictator Gaius Sulpicius Peticus and his magister equitum, Marcus Valerius Poplicola, defeated the Gauls at their encampment near Pedum after a prolonged standoff.
Upon hearing news of a force of Gauls entering Latium and encamping near Pedum, the Romans resolved to appoint Gaius Sulpicius Peticus as dictator, who, along with his magister equitum, Marcus Valerius Poplicola, quickly set off for Pedum in anticipation of an easy victory.
Upon reaching Pedum, Peticus, to the displeasure of his men, ordered that no soldier be permitted to attack without his command.
The opposition culminated when Sextus Tullius, one of Peticus's senior centurions, delivered a speech to his men, denouncing Peticus's choice and effectively convincing Peticius to engage with the Gauls.
Peticus decided to send a mix of muleteers and cavalry atop a nearby mountain, and lined up the rest of his forces along the plains near base of the mountain.
The Gauls were quick to attack after they spotted the Romans descending the mountain, but the move ultimately resulted in disorder, and the Romans were able to rout both the right and left flanks of the Gaulish forces, driving them to retreat.

The surface of the Rivière aux Rats is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March.
The Rats river flows more or less in parallel between the Chicoutimi River (west side) and the rivière du Moulin (east side).
The Rivière aux Rats begins, in the south, near boulevard du Royaume (route 170), passes near Rosaire-Gauthier Park, under Jean-Béliveau Park and empties into Saguenay River at the height of the rue de l'Hotel-de-Ville.
A tributary of the Saguenay River, which it meets in the city of Saguenay, it is the main outlet of Kenogami Lake, which rises from a watershed of in the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve.
Used by the Montagnais of the Saguenay River before the arrival of Europeans, it was at that time the first portage from the main access road to Lac Saint-Jean.
In addition to being the source of drinking water for the Chicoutimi and Jonquière boroughs, this river has six dams (including 2 hydroelectric power plants in operation).
The Chicoutimi River rises at Portage-des-Roches, in the Laterrière sector of the Chicoutimi borough at altitude and flows northeast towards Laterrière-Bassin where it is spanned by the Père-Honorat bridge.
Leaving the rocky base and the steep relief of Portage-de-Roches, it then enters an alluvial and semi-alluvial plain up to dam de la Chute-Garneau where the landscapes on both banks alternate between residences and agricultural land for a little over ten kilometers.
Half a kilometer further on, route 170 crosses the river which then enters a more urbanized sector of the Chicoutimi borough.
The river then crosses the Pont-Arnaud dam and begins its increasingly rapid descent towards the Saguenay as the relief becomes increasingly steep.
This retaining structure dries up the original rock bed of the river to divert it towards an underground water intake which supplies the S.P.C.
The river then re-emerges in the historic site of the Pulperie de Chicoutimi and continues to descend to the Chicoutimi dam basin.
The Chicoutimi River flows mainly in the Saguenay graben, a vast elevated valley that overlooks the lowlands surrounding the Saguenay River.
The soils of this large depression are composed of Quaternary marine sediments, such as silt and clay, deposited at the end of the Pleistocene and during the beginning of the Holocene by the Laflamme Sea.
During the last three kilometers when approaching the Saguenay river, opposite the landscape of the alluvial plain of Laterière, the river is encased in a series of gullies in which it sinks to .
The composition of the soils and the strong acceleration of the runoff caused by unevenness in this sector are the main causes causing the river to cut, through marine clay, an incision from 10 to until to the parent rock giving it the appearance of a torrent.
The watershed of the Chicoutimi River occupies an area of , distributed mainly in the Laurentian Wildlife Reserve and shared between two administrative regions: Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean and Capitale-Nationale.
Flowing from south to north, the Chicoutimi River rises east of Kenogami Lake via the Portage-des-Roches dam in the old town from Laterrière (today Chicoutimi borough to Saguenay (city)).
The first section, delimited by the dams of Portage-des-Roches and Pont-Arnaud, would represent a part in upstream of the river almost in length.
Located in the plain of Laterrière, south of Chicoutimi, this section would have a drop of barely and would form a meander and a reservoir retained by the dams of Pont-Arnaud and Chute-Garneau.
The Chute-Blanchette (Elkem Métal) and Chicoutimi (Abitibi-Consolidated) dams were built respectively on falls of and and largely explain this steep descent to the Saguenay.
The erosion of the river, barely visible upstream, becomes very apparent downstream because it has been dug, over time, in the granite of fjord, a small valley up to Saguenay River.
First, it is important to specify that the Chicoutimi river watershed includes that of Kenogami Lake since the Letellier judgment in 1911.
This judgment designated the Chicoutimi River as the main outlet for the lake to the detriment of the Rivière aux Sables.
The daily contributions of spills from Kenogami Lake into these rivers follow the following proportions: 2/3 go to the Chicoutimi river and 1/3 to the Sables river.
The watershed of the Chicoutimi River, with an area of , holds, with those neighboring it, the Quebec record of precipitation on its territory (approximately of water per year).
The latter would also include three sub-basins (rivers Pikauba, Cyriac and aux-Écorces), two reservoirs (Kenogami and Pikauba) and part of the territory of each of the 5 former cities of Chicoutimi, Laterrière, Lac-Kénogami, Arvida and Jonquière which are now part of city of Saguenay.
The Chicoutimi river basin is also a sub-basin of the Saguenay River, which in turn flows into the St. Lawrence River and ends up in the Atlantic Ocean which drains most of the eastern Quebec rivers.
The Chicoutimi River, during the XXth century, saw its level rise significantly following the construction of numerous dams which made it pass from the stage of river to that of a succession of basins between Kénogami Lake and the Saguenay.
Since the beginning of the XXth century, several works on the Kenogami Lake made it possible to regulate the flow of the Chicoutimi river and the Sables river which shared this same source.
In order to ensure a constant supply to industries downstream from the rivers, water shares were supplied according to the demand, which differed between the cities of Chicoutimi and Jonquière.
This approach triggered conflicts because the capacity to supply water to Kenogami Lake varied according to the seasons and the levels of the various structures did not allow an equitable sharing of flows.
This situation was brought to court in 1911 resulting in the Letellier judgment which shared the contributions of the two main outlets from Kenogami Lake at 2/3 at the Chicoutimi river and 1/3 at the rivière-aux-Sables.
This mandate was given to the Commission des eaux running du Québec which plans to build the Portage-des-Roches dam which will be built with the Pibrac East and Pibrac West dams between 1923 and 1924.
Built in 1676 on the remains of a prehistoric Amerindian encampment, the Chicoutimi trading post, which included a commercial warehouse and a chapel, reached its peak at the end of the XVIIth century.
In 1847, Peter McLoed (son), founder of the town of Chicoutimi, built his second mill in the Bassin district, near the Chicoutimi River.
On the latter's death, William Price, his only partner, took possession of all the mills in the region on behalf of the William Price and Company and bequeathed all to his sons who founded the Price Brothers and Company which became Abitibi-Price (now Abitibi-Consolidated, then AbitibiBowater).
The immense forest wealth upstream of the river greatly facilitates the growth of the company which becomes, in a short time, an internationally renowned pulp exporter.
The river becomes a means of transport of wood and a sufficient source of energy so that Chicoutimi becomes the world capital of the pulp which will supply England during the First World War.
By its jerky drop, its large current and its immense source of water, the Chicoutimi river became, with the arrival of industries, a place of choice for establishing electrical installations.
Between 19 and July 20, 1996, the watershed of Kenogami Lake receives of rain (equivalent about one and a half times the lake at full capacity).
The quantity of water retained by the Portage-des-Roches dam (which usually retains of water), in Laterrière, becomes dangerously high and forces Hydro-Québec to fully open the dam gates (more than /s are discharged for a maximum capacity of /s) to prevent it from yielding.
The huge spill of water alters the river bed and several dwellings (notably in Rang Saint-Pierre) are completely surrounded by this immense flood which sweeps away several dwellings completely uprooting them from their foundations.
Most of the debris from these houses hit the bridge on Portage-Des-Roches road in Laterrière which could give way under the pressure of debris carried by the current.
Further downstream on the river, on July 20 around noon, the huge body of water crosses the Chute-Garneau dam (max capacity of /s) and bypasses it by digging a trench deep.
The drinking water intake of the city of Chicoutimi is uprooted and the municipality will install a pump nearby to provide service.
The Chute-Blanchette dam manages to resist the flood by opening its valves to the maximum (/s) which let water pass through the spillway near Pulperie de Chicoutimi.
The body of water borrows the spillway and the central Elkem metal and is found, at its exit, around the regional museum.
The flood exceeds the water capacity of the spillway and makes its way through two of the old mills of the Pulperie.
The installations of the summer theater are completely submerged by the current that comes out of the windows of the old mill, which has been completely destroyed.
Arriving in the city center, in the Bassin district, the flood violently bypasses the last dam (Chicoutimi dam, /s) and rages on the Bassin district.
Completely flooded in a part of the district and uprooted around the dam, the residences suffered heavy losses in this sector.
However, despite the significant material losses during the overflow of the Chicoutimi River, there were no human losses in this sector.
It dates to 1746 and was constructed by , viceroy of Brazil, to supply water to a prison, soldiers, and residents.
The fountain is located to the southeast of the settlement of Morro de São Paulo, and was the most advanced water supply system in colonial Brazil.
André de Melo e Castro (1668-1753), viceroy of Brazil, built the three-spouted fountain to serve a local prison, soldiers on the Island of Tinharé, and resident.
Illegal excavations were made at the fountain in 1933 and 1946 in search of buried treasures; both excavations caused damage to the structure.
The quality of water in the fountain has deteriorated due to the strain of large-scale tourism on the water and sanitation system of Morro de Sao Paulo.
It consists of a feed stream; a vaulted adduction gallery; a circular cistern covered by a brick, tiled dome in the shape of a half-orange; a wastewater catchment; an iron chute; stairs, and a drainage system.
The Fonte Grande of Morro de São Paulo was listed as a historic structure by the National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage in 1943.

Though less common than transatlantic flights, transpacific flights have been commercially available since the mid-1930s and have been used for transport of cargo and passengers across the Pacific Ocean.
The time and distance of transpacific flights are longer than transatlantic flights due to the larger area of the Pacific Ocean.
In 1927, Ernie Smith and Emory Bronte attempted the first civilian transpacific flight bound for Maui, Hawaii starting from Oakland, California.
At 8:54 a.m. on 31 May 1928, Kingsford Smith and his crew left Oakland, California, to attempt the first trans-Pacific flight to Australia.
The third leg was the shortest, in 20 hours (84.15 mph), and crossed the Australian coastline near Ballina before turning north to fly to Brisbane, where they landed at 10.50 a.m. on 9 June.
The 41-hour flight from Sabishiro Beach, Misawa, Aomori Prefecture, Japan, won them the 1931 Harmon Trophy, which symbolized the greatest achievement in flight for that year.
In July 1929, Harold Bromley attempted to fly from Tacoma, Washington to Tokyo, Japan in an orange Lockheed-Vega monoplane purchased by lumberman, John Buffelen, who raised $25,000 to acquire the plane.
For the next year, Pan American planned for passenger flights, the China Clipper and its sister ships, the Philippine Clipper and Hawaii Clipper, focused on cargo transport including mail across the Pacific during this time.
The plane was piloted by two Swiss pilots Bertrand Piccard, a Swiss psychiatrist, and André Borschberg, a Swiss engineer and entrepreneur.

Farhād Khān (, ), also known as Nizam-e-Zamanah () or Nizam-e-Zaman (), was a Mughal military strategist who had many positions throughout his life.
He was the most well-known Faujdar of Sylhet Sarkar, governing in the late 17th century during the reign of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.
Farhad led an expedition to Bhulua ruled by Raja Lakshmana Manikya of the Bishwambhar Sur dynasty, and the expedition resulted in a swift Mughal victory.
In the 1665 Conquest of Chittagong, Firingis, led by Captain Moor, set fire to Arakanese fleets and fled to Bhulua where Farhad gave them refuge.
Farhad later sent them off to the Subahdar of Bengal Shaista Khan in Jahangirnagar, who would launch a December expedition led by his son Buzurg Umed Khan.
On 2 January, the fleet split ways with Farhad and Murtaza going through land with the other leaders going through the river.
Farhad was also responsible for the construction of a three-domed mosque and Shah Jalal dargah complex, in 1678, south of the Bara Gambuz.
Farhad appointed a descendant of Shams ad-Din Kamali as the imam of the mosque, who would later become a mufti and found the Mufti Family of Sylhet.
The ruins of another mosque established by Khan can also be seen south-west of Dargah Mahalla (west of the former Sylhet Police lines during the British rule).
He served as the 5th faujdar of Chittagong (then known as Islamabad) with Husayn Quli Khan as his Dewan and Mir Jafar as his Bakshi.

A melanocytoma is a rare pigmented tumor that has been described as a variant of the melanocytic nevus and is a derivative of the neural crest.
Histologically, the tumor is described by large, uniformly shaped polyhedral nevus cells that are pigmented and closely packed Typically, it lacks signs of malignancy such as high mitotic rate, necroses or infiltrative growth.
Location and size could lead to clinical symptoms.While the melanocytoma is generally considered to be a benign tumor, it has a potential for growth, recurrence, and transformation to a malignant melanoma.
The meningeal melanocytoma is found on the leptomeninges of the brain, typically in the area of the base of the brain and brain stem, or the spine.
In a 2003 review of 95 cases by Rahimi-Movaghar et al, 45 were intracranial (mostly supratentorial) and 50 spinal or along spinal roots.

The II (or 2nd) Wessex Brigade was a howitzer unit of the Royal Field Artillery in Britain's Territorial Force (TF) that was formed on the Isle of Wight in 1908.
It served in India and the Middle East during World War I, one of its batteries being captured at the Siege of Kut in Mesopotamia in 1916, and another seeing active service in the Third Afghan War of 1919.
On 29 July 1914 the Wessex Division was on Salisbury Plain carrying out its annual training camp when 'precautionary orders' were received, and next day the division took up emergency war stations in Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.
On 24 September, at the special request of the Secretary of State for War, Earl Kitchener of Khartoum the Wessex Division accepted liability for service in British India to relieve the Regular Army units there for service on the Western Front.
The division's infantry battalions and artillery brigades (without their brigade ammunition columns) embarked at Southampton on 8 October and were convoyed to Bombay, disembarking on 9 November.
The battalions and batteries were immediately distributed to garrisons across India, and the Wessex Division never saw service as a whole, though it was formally numbered the 43rd (1st Wessex) Division in 1915.
Meanwhile, those men who had been left behind, together with the recruits who were flooding in, formed reserve or 2nd Line units, the titles of which were the same as the original, but distinguished by a '2/' prefix.
Recruitment and training for the 2nd Wessex Division proceeded so quickly that on 25 November it was decided to send that to India as well, and most units embarked on 12 December 1914, becoming the 45th (2nd Wessex) Division in 1915.
By early 1915 the need was growing for troops to be sent to various theatres of war, and the first units of the 1st Wessex Division to go on active service were 1/5th Hampshire (H) Battery and 1/4th Battalion Hampshire Regiment, which were sent to Mesopotamia in March.
Soon afterwards it transferred to 6th (Poona) Division, which had been in action against Turkish forces in Mesopotamia since the previous November.
At the Battle of Amara on 31 May, 6th (Poona) Division captured a series of hills, powerfully supported by heavy guns firing from river barges and the howitzers of 1/5th Hampshire Bty firing from Fort Snipe, though the battery was out of range when the infantry took the last hill.
When it ran into serious opposition in 14 July, reinforcements were sent across from the Tigris, including a section of 1/5th Hampshire Bty.
As the infantry advanced the guns lifted in front of them; by 13.00 the enemy were in full retreat, driven out once more by the guns.
On the night of 27/28 September Townshend switched the bulk of 6th (Poona) Division from the south to the north side, to make the main attack against the northern redoubt at 08.45.
The attacking infantry were given covering fire by 1/5th Hampshire and other batteries as they advanced over open ground to take the redoubt.
They halted to prepare new defences at Ctesiphon, from Kut and only in front of Baghdad, while Townshend followed up as far as Aziziya.
After a logistical build-up, Townshend was authorised to resume his march on Baghdad on 14 November, his force including 1/5th Hampshire Bty, which consisted of 3 officers, 108 British other ranks and 41 Indian other ranks.
He attacked on the morning of 22 November with four columns, 1/5th Hampshire Bty accompanying Column A, which was to make the decisive attack on the redoubt known as 'Vital Point' or VP after the other columns had made preparatory and flanking attacks.
Column A launched its assault at 09.00; 1/5th Hampshires' howitzers and a battery of field guns had been bombarding VP for some time, and now brought down such fire on the objective that the Turks could not withstand it, and the infantry advanced right up to the bursting shells to take the objective by 10.00.
At 13.00 Turkish guns attacked the column with concentrated fire, causing heavy casualties, but by 13.30 they had lost their entire front line and Column A was pressing on to the second line.
A Turkish counter-attack was seen coming in, but the guns swung onto this new target and stopped it at a range of .
Next morning it became clear how costly the victory had been in terms of infantry casualties, and Townshend had to adopt a defensive posture: 1/5th Hampshire Bty was posted around 'Water Redoubt'.
Townshend's force threw back Turkish attacks all day and by the morning of 24 November both sides were too exhausted to continue the fight (1/5th Hampshire Bty had lost 1 man killed, 1 officer, 2 British and 1 Indian other ranks wounded).
He fell back to Lajj and then Aziziya, and by 29 November he was at Umm-at-Tubal, where he formed a camp with his rear to the river.
On 1 December he put in a sharp attack on the gathering Turks, with rapid artillery fire that completely disorganised them while he resumed his retreat.
1/5th Hampshire Bty was stationed with the bulk of the artillery at the Brick Kiln, near the fort where the artillery observation posts (OPs) were positioned.
The main Turkish attack was made on 24 December following a pre-dawn bombardment that switched onto the Fort at 07.00, putting some guns out of action and cutting the telephone from the OPs.
The bombardment suddenly stopped at 11.00 and a massive Turkish infantry attack was made against the breaches blown in the walls of the fort.
A second attempt by moonlight at 20.00 was also halted, the heavy guns and howitzers firing Lyddite shells into the Turkish trenches whose position was precisely known.
From now on the town was blockaded and shelled while Turkish attention was concentrated on preventing the British relieving force getting through from Basra.
The artillery horses had been killed for food before the end of March, though many of the Indian troops refused to eat them.
The Turks demanded unconditional surrender so 1/5th Hampshire Bty blew up their guns and remaining ammunition on 28 April before marching into captivity the following day under their battery commander, Maj H.G.
The 1/5th Hampshire Bty and a company of the 1/4th Hampshire Regiment had been the only TF units in the besieged garrison.
There are no exact figures, but is believed that about one-third of the prisoners died in captivity before the end of the war.
In September 1915 1/4th Hampshire (H) Battery was sent from India to Aden, where it landed and joined the Aden Expeditionary Force on 13 September.
The port of Aden had been threatened by a Turkish force but after some action in June and July 1915 it simply watched the British garrison.
It left its 5-inch howitzers behind for 2/1st Devonshire Battery from 2/IV Wessex Brigade that relieved it, and on arrival in India it was rearmed with modern 18-pounder field guns and ceased to be a howitzer battery.
In 1917 it was redesignated 1089 Battery RFA, and was brought up to an establishment of six guns when it was joined by a section from 2/2nd Devonshire Battery.
1/II Wessex Brigade was renumbered as CCXVI (216) Brigade during 1916, although it consisted only of the returned 1089 (1/4th Hampshire) Bty.
However, by April 1917 it was joined by 1097 Bty from CCXXV Bde (the former 2/1st Hampshire Bty from 2/I Wessex Bde) and 1104 Bty from CCXXVII Bde (the former 2/1 Wiltshire Bty from 2/III Wessex Bde).
After the end of World War I 1089 Battery was still serving in India when the Third Afghan War broke out.
After the rest of the division sailed for India 2/II Wessex Brigade was sent to the Isle of Wight in early 1915.
However, in 1927 the brigade was broken up: the Hampshire elements transferred to form two batteries in the 95th (Hampshire Yeomanry) Field Brigade while the Wiltshire elements joined the West Somerset Yeomanry batteries from 94th (Somerset and Dorset Yeomanry) Field Brigade to form a new 55th (Wessex) Field Brigade with headquarters at Taunton.

Frank Weaver was born in Pedro Juan Caballero, Paraguay, the son of Sonia Weaver (née Vasconcelos) a nurse, and Joseph Weaver, a writer and entrepreneur.
Raised in the midst of the Stroessner military dictatorship, he credits his experiences with totalitarian rule with educating him in the power of images.
As a youth, Weaver often visited the reservations of the Panambi'y Indians with his father, then a member of the Association for the Protection of the Environment (APMA), in order to participate in reforestation and environmental education projects.
Weaver, being only 10 years old at the time, was selected to be the unofficial videographer for the organization's efforts, as his youth afforded him the time and acuity to learn the equipment.
Throughout his visits to the reservations, Weaver undertook audiovisual documentation of the Guarani culture, and highlighted a variety of social issues faced by the community.
When he was just 16 years old, Weaver's father – an American citizen by birth – was offered a job in the United States and moved the entire family to Orlando, Florida.
In 2009 Weaver traveled to Paraguay with Good Karma for All, a community organization dedicated to providing fun opportunities to volunteer and help people in need, in order to install the first latrines and solar lighting in a local indigenous community.

In 2017, Weaver wrote and directed a short film dealing with his own issues with PTSD, which is available to view for free on his YouTube channel.
Outside of his interests in film-making, Weaver has also explored the use of digital tools such as coding and computer generated imagery (CGI) to further his activism efforts.
In December 2018, Weaver launched the Shower Thoughts Bot, a Twitter bot designed to ask questions pertaining to societal, technological, and environmental problems.
Living just a few blocks from Pulse nightclub during the time of the 2016 mass shooting, Weaver was inspired to create a short film based on his experiences in the neighborhood following the attack, as well as the unexpected triggering effects the event had on his PTSD.
The goal of the film is to tell an informative, entertaining, and compelling story that explores the culture of a remote community of people and examine the potential threats facing the rock art they protect.
The documentary is currently in post-production, and upon completion it will be made freely available online under a Creative Commons license.

Wretman is perhaps best known for introducing cooking to men in Sweden, and his work as a restaurateur founding several of Stockholm's most popular restaurants.
Wretman did not succeed in school, and at the age of sixteen he began apprenticing in the kitchen at the Hotel Continental in Stockholm.
At Maxim's he learned the basics in the kitchen and was an apprentice under chef Louis Barth and restaurant owner Albert Baser.
In 1937, Wretman worked as head of the bar at the restaurant Soleil de Minuit in the Swedish pavilion at the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne.
There he became acquainted with Sara Reuterskiöld, who was about to open the restaurant Regnbågen; she hired Wretman as head chef.
He obtained a job as a receptionist at a London hotel, where he stayed until 1943 when he finally had the chance to return to Sweden.
The pillar sections were halved, and its entrance was built on Nybrogatan, where Wretman opened his second restaurant Teatergrillen, which soon became one of Stockholm's most popular restaurants.
Five years later, Wretman took over the Stallmästaregården restaurant, which became one of the most renowned restaurants in the country after only a short time.
The duo also presented segments on television meant to educate men about cooking and cuisine, a task that had previously been considered a woman's duty.

Believed to be from her upcoming album, the clips were both directed by Del Rey's sister Chuck Grant and filmed solely on an iPhone in a vintage style, achieved through post-production filters.
Going without a proper release for several months, Del Rey announced in October that she would be releasing a triple-feature for three songs from her album.
Intercut with shots of Del Rey shining on a hammock and singing in front of roses, the song ends with Del Rey singing in front of a pool of CGI jellyfish.
Del Rey's sister, Chuck, makes a brief cameo in a scene in which Del Rey and two of her other friends are meditating in a national park with Disney wildlife wandering around them.
The only section in the film to feature non-music audio, the group laugh as they throw slurpees and donuts at the cops as they chase them around, all while fighter jets fly overhead and explosions are set off in the background.
The usage of the war imagery is believed be indicative of the political tensions occurring internationally, with the clueless cops being representative of governments and their officials turning a blind eye to what's going on in the world.
The video also features Jack Nicholson's son, Duke, who also appears with Del Rey on the cover of the album artwork.
Several of Del Rey's friends make cameo appearances, including Emma Tillman, Duke Nicholson, Craig Stark, and her sister and the film's director, Chuck Grant.
After the war she was sent to San Francisco where she provided freight and passenger services between that city and other ports on the Pacific coast.
Cornelius and Richard Poillon operated a shipyard in Brooklyn, New York at the foot of Bridge Street on the East River.
In any case, shortly after her launch on October 6, 1864 she was chartered for use by the Quartermaster Corps of the Union Army to provide logistical support along the Atlantic coast for Civil War operations.
She was rigged as a brigantine, and could sail, but her primary propulsion was provided by a steam engine driving a single propeller.
An indication that her designers considered her possible service in war, all her machinery was placed below her waterline, and thus less likely to be damaged by a cannon ball.
In 1866, when she was purchased by the California Steam Navigation Company, she had over 60 first class cabins each with two berths.
The galley was on the open top deck of the ship so that cooking odors would not enter the main cabin.
She was one of the first vessels to reach the city after the Savannah River was cleared of obstacles left by the retreating Confederates.
These were mostly armorers from the Fayetteville, North Carolina arsenal, who had relocated from Harpers Ferry, Virginia when the Confederate States moved the equipment they had captured.
She was commanded by Captain Cornelius Godfrey in her late war service, her repositioning to the Pacific, and in her early commercial voyages from San Francisco.
The fare for the inaugural trip from San Francisco to Honolulu trip was $75 for a cabin or $40 for steerage.
She left San Francisco on January 13, 1866 with 68 passengers, including Samuel Clemens, who reported on the trip using his pen name, Mark Twain.
He reported that the trip to Hawaii was rough, and claimed that he saw 22 of the 68 passengers vomiting over the bulwarks from seasickness at one point.
She carried 34 passengers on this return voyage and a wide variety of agricultural imports including 2,579 kegs of sugar, 807 packages of molasses, 242 sacks of coffee, and 3,621 coconuts.
She cleared San Francisco with 1,786 sacks of flour, 87 sacks of barley, 57 sacks of oats, 498 sacks of potatoes, paint, guns, kegs of nails, a piano, 6 dozen shovels, and other merchandise valued at $28,192.75.
She arrived back in San Francisco on April 15, 1866 with 617 tons of freight, a record for the time for a single ship from Hawaii.
Shortly after her return to San Francisco, the California Steam Navigation Company withdrew he from her Hawaii route, ending scheduled steamship service to the islands.
After several months of idleness, the ship was reassigned to the San Francisco - Portland route and made her first trip on February 12, 1867, arriving in Portland on February 16.
She made several additional roundtrips between San Francisco and Portland in 1867, but with competition from the Ben Holladay's California, Oregon & Mexico Steamship Company and the newly launched Anchor Line, the route had too many ships on it and a full scale fare war broke out.
In March 1869 the California, Oregon, and Mexico Steamship Company was reincorporated under the laws of California as the North Pacific Transportation Company.
The company suspended this transpacific service during the stormy winter months, reassigning the ship to the San Francisco - Portland route.
She resumed her trips to Honolulu on March 18, 1871, carrying 33 passengers, more than half of whom were transferring there to a steamer that would take them to Australia or New Zealand.
She was reassigned to her Portland route again for the winter of 1871 and remained on this route for the remainder of her career.
This new company served only the San Francisco to Portland route and thus buttressed Holladay's riverboat and railroad business in Oregon.
The difficulties of the San Francisco - Portland route combined with the Ajax's advancing age brought a cascade of mechanical problems.
She had difficulty with her propeller shaft in January 1876 and lost a blade on her massive propeller in November 1876.
In November 1880 she was purchased by Charles Goodall, a partner in the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, one of the significant shipping firms based in San Francisco.

The Legend of the Christmas Witch () is a 2018 Italian-language Christmas fantasy comedy film based on the Italian legend of the Befana.
During the day Miss Paola works as a schoolteacher in an Italian town, but at night she transforms into the over 500-year-old Befana, a witch who delivers presents to well-behaved children and unusual surprises to bad ones each year at midnight when it turns January 6.
One year a dog chews on her Rolodex and she fails to deliver a gift in time to Giovanni Rovasio, who then blames her for all of his subsequent misfortunes, including his parents' divorce.
25 years later, Giovanni has transformed himself into Mr. Johnny, a villain who kidnaps Paola in order to take over delivery of the toys.
The children are found by Mr. Johnny's men and put into a trash compactor but Riccardo drops a Swiss Army knife in the gears and stops the machine, allowing the children to escape.
Knowing that fire is the only way to harm the Befana, Mr. Johnny ties Paola to a Christmas tree and sets it on fire, using Christmas presents as kindling.
Just then the clock strikes midnight and she transforms into the Befana, giving her the power to break free from her bonds and fly away on her broom.
Mr. Johnny chases after her on a jet-propelled hoverboard and causes her to crash before trapping her in a bubble in his toy factory.
Paola agrees to give Mr. Johnny the letters she has received from children containing their gift wishes and they leave for the mountain where the letters are hidden.
Meanwhile, Paola's boyfriend Giacomo arrives at her home to find her missing and discovers her secret identity in her storage cellar.
Giacomo and the children reach the mountain where the letters are hidden and fight Mr. Johnny but ultimately Mr. Johnny and Paola both topple from a cliff during a struggle.
The next year on January 6, Riccardo finds a Swiss Army knife in his stocking, then notices Paola walking through the town with Giacomo.

Memmott's studies a wide range of areas in ecology including pollination ecology, invasion ecology, agro-ecology, biological control, urban ecology, and restoration ecology.
They found that private residential gardens, allotments, and community gardens had a higher abundance of insect pollinators than public amenity gardens, such as parks and road verges.
In particular she advocates for growing areas of wildflowers, which have plants with more nectar and pollen than many cultivated plant varieties.
She has also studied the way in which resources available to insect pollinators have changed over the past century as well as the changes that occur over a one year period.
In her research of long-term vegetation surveys she found that nectar resources in the UK declined up to the 1970s, during agricultural intensification, but since then resources have increased.
On a smaller timescale, Memmott found a potential for mismatch in the timing between flowering plants and the flight times of pollinators that visit them through the year.
Her research has shown that there are significant gaps seasonally in resources for pollinators from plants, such as pollen and nectar, in early spring and late summer; this knowledge could be used to alter the species mix of wildflower strips as part of agri-environment schemes.
Memmott was made President Elect of the British Ecological Society in 2019, she will become President of the society in 2020.

The island is protected as part of the Hanford Reach National Monument, which was created out of lands surrounding the Hanford Site.
Before the arrival of European settlers, Native Americans used the island and areas around it for fishing and other river-based activities.
Use of the island largely ceased as Americans moved into the region and began to farm on both sides of the Columbia River, establishing the town of White Bluffs on the Benton County side of the river.
This town, which was only a few miles south of Locke Island, was abandoned when the Hanford Site was constructed under the Manhattan Project.
Locke Island is located near the former sites of several Native American fishing sites that were primarily used by the Yakama, Nez Perce, and ancestors of the Wanapum.
Many of the people who fished in the area would camp on the island itself, with others traveling to the area from as far as Idaho to trade.
According to a Native American who spoke with researchers in the early-20th century, most families who came to the area to fish would catch an average of 300 fish during their time there.
Erosion during the wet season of 1996–1997 unearthed material that had previously lain below the island's surface, indicating the presence of people as early as 2,000 years ago.
The lands were ceded to the United States in the treaty signed by the Umatilla and Yakama Tribes at the Walla Walla Council in 1855.
As white settlers moved into the Columbia Basin, Native Americans found less use for Locke Island and the surrounding fish encampments.
This was especially true on the Benton County side of the river, with the town of White Bluffs only being a few miles to the south.
The island became part of an involuntary park when the Hanford Site was created under the Manhattan Project in the 1940s.
Residents were forced from the area so the federal government could construct the site, which was used to make nuclear weapons.
Much of the security buffer, including Locke Island, was placed in Hanford Reach National Monument in 2000 and continues to be closed to the public.
The island consists of alluvium that has been deposited by the Columbia River since the Pleistocene and overlies the Columbia River Basalt Group.
Much of this is eroded remains of the Ringold Formation, which was placed by the Columbia River between 9 and 3 million years ago.
The White Bluffs became destabilized by water from the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project entering the groundwater system and flowing toward the Columbia River.
This slump has narrowed the eastern passage of the Columbia as it flows around the island, increasing erosion of the middle section of the island.
In some locations, up to of the island's material on its eastern side has been removed by the river since 1996.
This erosion threatens the cultural artifacts left by millennia of human habitation before European settlement as well as salmon spawning sites downstream.
While this was once an important salmon habitat, no salmon were observed to be spawning around the island as recently as 1999.
Coyotes have limited the goose population in recent years so that numbers of successful nests have been kept to less than ten per year for several decades.
The coyote population on Locke Island is unique among other islands in the Hanford Reach in that coyotes reside on the island rather than just being visitors.
Flora on the island are similar to other regions of Eastern Washington and consist primarily of native grasses and short shrubs like sagebrush.

The Rivière Simoncouche is a tributary of Kenogami Lake, flowing the unorganized territory of Lac-Ministuk (MRC Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality) and in the territory of the city of Saguenay (sector Kénogami), in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province from Quebec, to Canada.
The upper part of this river begins in the northwest part of the zec Mars-Moulin and the intermediate part (Lac aux Rats Musqués area, Lac des Îlets and Simoncouche Lake) crosses the northeast part of the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve.
This small valley is served by the route 175 (boulevard Talbot) and some secondary roads for the needs of forestry, recreational tourism and residents of this area.
The surface of the Simoncouche River is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from mid-December to mid-March.
The Simoncouche River flows into the bottom of Moncouche Bay (length: ) on the south shore of Kenogami Lake, at the entrance to Villa Marie Bay, in the sector of Kénogami, in the city of Saguenay.
The name Moncouche is often used to designate the neighboring bay, Villa Marie bay, at the bottom of which rises the Moncouche dike, a regulating structure for the waters of the lake.
From the confluence of the Simoncouche river with the Kenogami Lake, the current crosses this lake for towards the northeast until the barrage de Portage-des-Roches, then follows the course of the Chicoutimi River on to the east, then the northeast and the course of the Saguenay River on eastwards to Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence estuary.
20 minutes from downtown Chicoutimi, at kilometer 217 of the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve, the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi (UQAC) operates the Simoncouche Teaching and Research Forest (FERS) over an area of 27 square kilometers.
This mission was entrusted to the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi which already used in 1981 the facilities of the Ministry of Recreation, Hunting and Fishing.
The FERS has several trails connecting the eight lakes in its territory, the most important of which are Lac des Îlets (170 ha), Simoncouche (87 ha) and du Dépôt (21 ha).
The FERS administers various forest management works and research activities take place throughout the territory: development of degraded forests, monitoring of the biodiversity of the territory, evaluation of the degradation of natural camping sites, impact of climate change on tree growth.
The main buildings on the site include: the main chalet (six bedrooms upstairs, two meeting rooms and kitchen on the ground floor); research pavilion, boathouse, chalet at Lac du Dépôt, Simoncouche beach, tent platforms in Simoncouche, Lac du Dépôt and Lac des Îlets, as well as several wilderness areas.

The Simoncouche Lake is a fresh body of water crossed by the Simoncouche River on the watershed of the Saguenay River.
The Simoncouche Lake straddles the unorganized territory of Lac-Ministuk, and that of the city of Saguenay, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
Lac Simoncouche is located in the northwestern part of the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve, as well as in the Simoncouche teaching and research forest (FERS) of the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi.
This small valley is served by the route 170 (boulevard Talbot) and some secondary roads for the needs of forestry, recreational tourism activities.
The surface of Lake Simoncouche is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from mid-December to mid-March.
This lake is made in length by a widening of the Simoncouche River which crosses it towards the north; this lake has three parts formed by two narrowing.
This lake is mainly fed by the Simoncouche River (coming from the south) and by the outlet (coming from the east) from Lac du Dépôt and Lac Hautbois.
From the mouth of Lake Simoncouche, the current follows the course of the Simoncouche River consecutively over north to the confluence with Kenogami Lake; it crosses this lake for north-east to Portage-des-Roches dam; it follows the course of the Chicoutimi River on to the east, then the northeast and the course of the Saguenay River on east to Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence estuary.
These two toponymic names seem popular, as much for the river as the bay; the most commonly used designations have been formalized.

The Cyriac river valley is directly served by the route 175; other secondary forest roads have been developed in the sector for forestry and recreational tourism activities.
The surface of the Cyriac River is usually frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March.
Enclosed between the mountains, this lake has two outlets: the Cyriac river (north side) and the Pikauba river (southeast side where a dam has been built).
The Cyriac river flows on the south shore of Lake Kénogami, facing Île Verte and facing Baie Voisine de l'Île à Jean-Guy.

Braden began racing when he was eight years old, competing in mini-wedges, quarter-midgets and Legends car racing, winning a Young Lions national points championship.
Braden made his ARCA Menards Series debut in 2015, and won his first start in the series, passing William Byron near the end of the race at Lucas Oil Raceway.
After running part-time for RFMS Racing in the 2017 ARCA Racing Series, the team and Braden agreed to a full-time slate in 2018.

Lam Siu-Por (; born 28 March 1954) is a Hong Kong politician and the husband of Carrie Lam, the fourth Chief Executive of Hong Kong since 2017.
He earned his doctorate in algebraic topology from the University of Cambridge in 1983, after writing his thesis under the direction of Frank Adams.

Some editorials have compared Lam's behavior to August Landmesser's refusal to perform the Nazi salute with fellow workers during the reign of Nazi Germany.
The armistice of March 30, 1798 allowed Toussaint Louverture to settle the details of the retreat of the British army from Saint Domingue, before the triumphal entry of the black general and his army of ex-slaves into Port-au-Prince on May 16, 1792.
The aim of the armistice was the negotiations by which it was decided that the English would leave their last stronghold in the north of the country, Môle-Saint-Nicolas, on August 31, 1798.
Five months later, to the day, as planned, on August 31, 1798, the British abandoned Saint-Domingue to the victory of Toussaint Louverture, who must however turn to another front, to the south, where the former French general André Rigaud gathered an army of mulattoes with the help of French planters to fight it.
The armistice put an end to a war of liberation which left more than 10,000 dead and lasted four years: since the February 19, 1793, and the Treaty of Whitehall, the English took advantage of the lucrative taxation on the sugar plantations of Santo Domingo, while since the May 5, 1794 Toussaint Louverture had launched an offensive.
The armistice of March 30, 1798 was signed shortly after the arrival in early March 1798 of young general Thomas Maitland at the head of the British army, who was instructed to limit English losses, especially as the month of March 1798 saw a wave of desertions among black enlisted by the British troops, who lose more strong.
On June 13, 1799, Dr. Andrew Stevens, officially appointed consul general of the United States in April 1799, signed the tripartite commercial convention of 1799, establishing commercial relations between English, Americans and Haitians.
The arrival in Cuba of refugees from Saint Domingue after the armistice of March 30, 1798 saw many become privateers during the quasi-war, which gives a first boost to commercial traffic in Cuba as shown by the values produced by the port of Santiago de Cuba between 1797 and 1801, a part coming from the catches of the French corsairs attacking the American ships trading with Saint Domingue.
However, the armistice did not end the conflict within Saint Domingue, as André Rigaud would split with Louverture and initiate the War of Knives against him for control of the colony in June 1799 to July 1800, after which Rigaud fled to France and Louverture took command of the colony.
Louverture would further consolidate control of the entire island by conquering the Spanish-ruled Captaincy General of Santo Domingo in December 1800 and abolishing chattel slavery throughout the island.

The mountain has a steep north face, but the south slope is covered in scree which allows a nontechnical climbing ascent.
Precipitation runoff from Osceola Peak drains north into tributaries of the Similkameen River, or south into Eureka Creek, which is part of the Methow River drainage basin.
As fronts approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades (Orographic lift).
As a result, the west side of the North Cascades experiences high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall.
During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but, due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer.
The North Cascades feature some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks, spires, ridges, and deep glacial valleys.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences.
In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.

Baron Alexander von Tschugguel zu Tramin (), known in Austria as Alexander Tschugguel, (born 1993) is an Austrian far-right conservative and Traditionalist Catholic activist.
He has been active in the anti-abortion movement, critical of the international community's focus on climate change, and has campaigned against same-sex marriage in Austria.
Tschugguel is a founding member of The Reform Conservatives, a now-inactive Austrian conservative political party focused on abolishing the European Parliament.
In November 2019 Tschugguel received international attention for stealing statues, reportedly of Pachamama, that were on display inside the Church of Santa Maria in Traspontina as part of the Amazon Synod, and throwing them off of the Ponte Sant'Angelo into the river Tiber.
Tschugguel was born in 1993 in Vienna and is a member of the von Tschugguel family, an old Tyrolean family that are part of the Austrian nobility.
Tschugguel was married in 2019 in a wedding celebrated by Athanasius Schneider, the auxiliary bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mary Most Holy in Astana.
He has worked with conservative politicians Ewald Stadler and Beatrix von Storch, as well as political activist Hedwig von Beverfoerde, to protest and campaign against abortion rights, same-sex marriage, and the inclusion of gender studies and sex education in schools in Germany and Austria.
In 2013 he helped Ewald Stadler found The Reform Conservatives, an Austrian conservative political party focused on reversing the Maastricht Treaty and abolishing the European Parliament.
On 21 October 2019 Tschugguel and an accomplice stole five statues, reportedly of the Inca fertility goddess Pachamama, from the Church of Santa Maria in Traspontina and threw them from the Ponte Sant'Angelo into the Tiber.
Tschugguel, who had removed the statues believing them to be a violation of the First Commandment, received support from various high ranking Church officials after the incident, including Bishop Anthanasius Schneider, Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, and Cardinal Walter Brandmüller.
The institute is named for Saint Boniface who, according to tradition, cut down Donar's Oak and used the wood to build a church.

Empire Racing Group (often just called Empire Racing) is an American professional stock car racing team that currently competes in the ARCA Menards Series, fielding the No.
Sean Corr made his first Truck starts at Daytona (which was a DNQ) and Talladega in 2013 as well as Pocono for the second straight year.
The team had other drivers in addition to Corr in 2014, with Jake Crum racing at Charlotte and dirt driver Cody Erickson attempting to qualify for Eldora.
After he failed to qualify to the race after just coming short in the last-chance qualifier, the team invited him back for a pavement start at Martinsville that October, which he did qualify for.
35, where the team leased owner points from Win-Tron Racing instead of fielding a separate truck of their own so Erickson could have a better chance of qualifying (which he successfully did).
With the team forming an alliance with Richard Petty Motorsports starting in 2016, they switched to run the famous Petty No.
Austin Hill returned to Empire at Daytona, where he did not qualify for the race, which had a large entry list of 43 trucks for just 32 spots.
The team entered a second truck for that race again this year, with the team bringing back their old number, the No.
The team has not attempted any more Truck Series races since then, as they have focused on expanding their ARCA team back up to three cars.
82 again for the rest of their attempts, which were at Texas, Talladega, Michigan, and both Pocono races again with Corr and New Jersey Motorsports Park with road course ringer Robert Mitten.
Corr started the 2012 season with a bang by winning the pole for the season opener at Daytona after Bobby Gerhart's time was disqualified.
Due to sponsorship, the team announced they had to cut back to part-time after four races, and they only ran the first race at Pocono for the remainder of that year.
The only other ARCA race Empire ran in 2014 was at Salem in September with Cody Erickson, who drove for the team at the Truck race at Eldora earlier in the year.
82, for Dylan Lupton, who was without a ride at the start of the season after driving in the Xfinity Series part-time the year before.
For the rest of the year, the team teamed with James Hylton Motorsports for additional races at Nashville, IRP, and Chicago with Dylan Martin as well as Sean Corr running Talladega and the first Pocono race for the first time in three years.
John Ferrier, who is from Middletown, New York (not far from Goshen, where the Corr family is from), joined the team and merged it with his own.
They had been trying to switch over their fleet of cars to Chevrolets since Richard Petty Motorsports had already switched from Ford to Chevrolet for their Cup team.
In some races, such as Pocono in June, the team had to run their Fords unbadged (in other words, with the Ford logo covered up) due to RPM's manufacturer change.
The team expanded back to three cars for Daytona for the first time since 2015, with the team entering the No.
ThePitLane.com reported in November 2019 that there were rumors Empire may be leaving ARCA for the NASCAR Xfinity Series starting in 2020.
44 car from the Nashville race in 2019 is for sale on RacingJunk.com, which ThePitLane claims has been on there for months.
Also, as per the Daytona entry list, John Ferrier appears to have restarted his own team this season instead of driving with Empire.
Spectacle Buttes are a pair of mountain summits located in the Entiat Mountains, a sub-range of the North Cascades, in Chelan County of Washington State.
Spectacle Buttes are situated 77 miles northeast of Seattle in the Glacier Peak Wilderness, on land managed by the Wenatchee National Forest.
As fronts approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades (Orographic lift).
With its impressive height, Spectacle Buttes can have snow in late-spring and early-fall, and can be very cold in the winter.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks, ridges, and deep glacial valleys.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to the various climate differences.
In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.

In Plain Sight: The Kaufman County Prosecutor Murders is a true crime account by American journalist and author Kathryn Casey of the 2013 murders of two prosecutors and a wife by a disgruntled justice of the peace.
The deadly crime spree the book covers began in January 2013 when attorney and Justice of the Peace Eric Williams shot and killed Kaufman County, Texas Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse as he exited his car in the courthouse parking lot while his Kim Williams waited in the car for him.
Then, two months later, Williams, with his wife again in the car with him, drove to the home of District Attorney Mike McLelland, 63, and his wife Cynthia, 65, and shot them inside their house.
The motive for Williams, as testified to in court by his wife Kim, was his anger over a burglary, in which Williams had been arrested and convicted after being caught taking $600 worth of computer monitors from the county’s IT storage room, causing him to lose both his position as justice of the peace and his license to practice law.
The book describes Kaufman, a small, quiet Texas town where everyone knows each other, as being thrown into chaos when a county assistant district attorney is killed in broad daylight, then shortly after the district attorney and his wife are murdered as well.
The prosecution did not comment about Alvarez taking the book to court or whether they believed it was meant as a threat.
News accounts described the suspect, a purported gang member, as holding the copy of the book behind his back and appearing as if he were flashing the title toward prosecutors.

Its foundations have been discovered under the first north block of via della Conciliazione, which now includes the Auditorium Conciliazione and the Palazzo Pio.

The Metropolitan Opera Centennial Gala was a televised concert, lasting more than eight hours, that New York City's Metropolitan Opera staged on 22 October 1983 to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of its first performance.
A 230-minute selection of excerpts from the concert was first released in 1985 on a pair of Pioneer Artists Laserdiscs, subsequently appearing on a pair of Bel Canto Paramount Home Video VHS videocassettes in 1989 and on a Pioneer Classics DVD in 1998.
With the one hundredth anniversary of that occasion chancing to fall on a Saturday, the Met chose to commemorate its centenary with a two-part gala comprising a matinée at 2 p.m. and an evening session at 8 p.m..
Performing on a series of sets created by the most distinguished designers in the Met's history, they sang arias, duets and ensembles from an eclectic range of operas as well as a few items drawn from other genres.
The US television broadcast was supported by a grant from the Texaco Philanthropic Foundation, Inc., with supplementary help from the Charles E. Culpeper Foundation, Inc., and the National Endowment For the Arts.
Financial considerations, he wrote, had led the Metropolitan Opera to stage a concert which, including intermissions, ran for some eleven hours.
Every opera company needed singers who, although well schooled and competent, were more or less anonymous, but it was questionable whether such artists should figure prominently in what was a once-in-a-lifetime jamboree.
The Met's brisk stage management had not helped matters by hustling singers through their contributions without allowing the customary encores or floral tributes, or even more than a few ovations.
It was disappointing to spend a long time at an event such as this without finding oneself shedding a nostalgic tear.
The curtain rose to reveal twenty-five of the Met's most distinguished former luminaries seated at the back of the stage like jurors in a vocal competition.
Among them were Helen Jepson, Dorothy Kirsten, Zinka Milanov, Jarmila Novotná, Bidu Sayão, Eleanor Steber, Risë Stevens, Ferruccio Tagliavini, Cesare Valletti and Ramón Vinay.
It was worth the price of one's ticket just to watch the expressions on their faces as they listened to their successors singing in front of them.
Birgit Nilsson, in a voice that betrayed her sixty-five years yet was still something to marvel at, performed Isolde's Narrative and Curse.
One of her admirers was so overcome that an usher had to restrain him from invading the stage with a bouquet.
But neither of them was likely to linger in the memory as vividly as Horne putting her arms around Stevens, or Nilsson's simple melody from her homeland.
Collectors who enjoyed concerts of operatic excerpts sung by first class artists were sure to find Pioneer's release the most important issue of the year, and maybe even of the decade.

Both the afternoon and evening segments of the gala were broadcast in their entirety live on PBS television on 22 October 1983.
All home media releases of the gala provide the same 230-minute selection of excerpts from it, with a 4:3 aspect ratio and NTSC colour.
In 1985, Pioneer Artists released this edition on a pair of CLV (constant linear velocity) Laserdiscs (catalogue number PA-84-095) with CD-quality digital stereo audio and an accompanying booklet.
In 1989, Bel Canto Paramount Home Video issued it on a pair of VHS videocassettes (catalogue number 2364) with stereo audio and with liner notes by Martin Mayer.
Pioneer's disc was accompanied by an eight page leaflet including four photographs and essays on the Met's history by Frank E. Taplin and Anthony A. Bliss, as well as notes on each item in the concert by Charles Rizzuto.

Gool Mahomet (1865 – 21 May 1950), also known as Gul Muhammed, was an Afghan Cameleer from immigrated from Kabul, Afghanistan to Australia in 1887 (or possibly 1897) who worked in and around Central Australia.
Mahomet was born in a small village Smilekenerra near Kabul and he worked in Colombo, in Sri Lanka, to help pay for his passage to Australia.
The date that Mahomet immigrated to Australia is unsure, being recorded as both 1887 and 1897 and he initially arrived in Fremantle, Western Australia before moving, almost immediately, to Port Augusta and then Parachilna in South Australia.
Following this Mahomet worked in a number of jobs where dates are unsure, including time at Hergott Springs, Mt Morgan, (1905-1906), Wilgena Station and then, in 1907, to the Kalgoorlie Goldfields where he carted wood.
They were married in the Kalgoorlie Mosque by Secundah Khan on 18 March 1907 and his wife converted to Islam and changed her name to Miriam Bebe): this wedding was followed with a civil ceremony in Port Augusta on 17 August 1907.
This marriage attracted a lot of interest and onlookers were apparently confounded and dumbfounded by the match with many surmising that it was a 'business flirtation'.
It is unsure where the couple lived in the years immediately following their marriage but their son, Sallay Mahomet, was born in Coolgardie, Western Australia on 16 September 1911 and the couple would go on the have 5 more children, two more sons and three daughters.
In 1913 the family settled at Bummers Creek where they established a market garden at the Afghan settlement where they grew melons, vegetables and dates as well as providing water and wood to the gold miners.
The family continued to move around the country, travelling across the country by camel on a regular basis, including one trip from Perth to Broken Hill, a distance of almost 3000 kms, to visit a sick friend or relative.
From 1919 to 1934 Mahomet worked for Thomas Elder carrying supplies for his numerous properties until he leased Mulgaria Station, a 363 square mile property, in 1935 where, with motor vehicles taking over, he let his camels free to roam.
Miriam Bebe, Mahomet's wife, never lived at Mulgaria, preferring to stay in Farina and she died of a heart attack on 16 January 1939; she was only 58 years old.
In 1950 Mahomet decided to return to home and make a visit to Mecca a had booked his passage when he died, aged 85, on 21 May 1950.

Hill has been Athena Swan champion in the School of Biology at York, her department was one of the first in the UK to receive the Athena Swan Gold Award in regconition of commitment to advancing the careers of women in higher education and research.
Hill carried out one of the first insect relocations, moving populations of Marbled white and Small skipper butterflies further north and east in the UK in 2000.
Her studies on insect migration, finding that butterflies and moths can fly hundred of meters in the air to take advantage of wind to speed them up, they can also make adjustments to their direction to travel more quickly to their destination.
Hill has done fieldwork in tropical ecosystems and found that oil palm plantations can act as a barrier to the movement of butterfies into and between rainforest areas, in particular the larger butterflies, shows the importance of having a network of connected habitat patches.

Pairman was born the youngest of four in Broomieknowe, Lasswade in Scotland to Helen and John Pairman who was solicitor of the Supreme Courts of Scotland.
She graduated with an MA in 1917 with first class honors in mathematics and natural philosophy, after which she was awarded a three-year Vans Dunlop scholarship, which permitted her to continue her studies at any university.
She became a graduate student at the University of Edinburgh before moving to Karl Pearson's lab at University College London in 1918.
Pairman arrived in New York on 12 October 1919 and went on to Cambridge, Massachusetts to study at Radcliffe College, a all-women's college closely associated with the all-male Harvard College.
When she received her doctorate she was only the third woman to be awarded a PhD in mathematics from Radcliffe College.
The couple moved to Hanover, N.H. in 1922 so Bancroft could assume a teaching position at Dartmouth College, which, at the time, was a men’s school with an all-male faculty but occasionally admitting women as graduate students.
About 1950, Pairman started focusing on teaching mathematics to blind students, learning Braille and learning how to make diagrams using her sewing machine and other household items.
So she rounded up all kinds of household implements like pinking shears and pastry wheels and such and created diagrams that could be felt with the fingers, like the Braille symbols.
She put a piece of Braille paper under the foot and proceeded to reproduce the symbols by guiding the paper under the needle.
In about 1959, the Hanover Gazette published an article about her saying that Pairman was in the process of transcribing two mathematical texts, one was for a freshman student at Boston College, and another, a reference book on group theory, destined for a post-graduate course at Columbia University in New York.
The article went on to say that she was in regular discussions with Dartmouth math freshmen three hours each week and that apparently, by the end of the spring term, she had taken over the course instruction.
On 10 August 1922, Pairman married Bancroft Huntington Brown (1894-1974) at Roselea, the Pairman home in Broomieknowe, Scotland and afterwards assumed the name Eleanor P. Brown, becoming widely known as Nora Brown.
Pairman passed away after a long battle with breast cancer on 14 September 1973, at the age of 77, in White River Junction, Vermont.

Abu'l-Fath al-Fadl ibn Ja'far ibn al-Furat (died 938), also called with the matronymic Ibn Hinzaba, was a member of the bureaucratic Banu'l-Furat dynasty from Iraq, who served twice as vizier of the Abbasid Caliphate.
Abu'l-Fath al-Fadl ibn Ja'far ibn al-Furat was the scion of a bureaucratic dynasty, the Banu'l-Furat, that had occupied senior posts in the fiscal bureaucracy of the Abbasid Caliphate at Baghdad since the reign of Caliph al-Mu'tadid () and had gone on to become one of the two major factions within the Abbasid administrative elite in the first decades of the 10th century.
Fadl's father, Abu'l-Khattab Ja'far, was head of the land department for the East and West from 908 until his death in 909/10, while his uncle was the famous Abu'l-Hasan Ali, who served three times as vizier to Caliph al-Muqtadir.
He was appointed as deputy head of the same department during the first vizierate of Ali ibn Isa ibn al-Jarrah, who would emerge as his uncle's greatest opponent and the leader of the rival Banu'l-Jarrah faction.
Abu'l-Hasan Ali ibn al-Furat and his son al-Muhassin were executed in 924 as a result of the unrestrained persecution of their political rivals, after which Fadl became the most senior member of his family.
It was Ibn al-Jarrah who brought Fadl back into government as head of the land department for the East in 927.
When Ibn al-Jarrah was disgraced following the Qarmatian invasion of 927, Fadl was one of the chief candidates to succeed him, along with Ibn Muqla and al-Nayramani.
In 931, the support of the commander-in-chief Mu'nis al-Muzaffar—another formerly staunch opponent of his uncle—secured for him the land department of the Sawad, before returning to the land department of the East in 931–932 under the vizier al-Husayn ibn al-Qasim, who employed several ministers from the faction of Abu'l-Khattab Ja'far.
Eventually Fadl himself was appointed vizier in May 932, after the previous incumbent al-Husayn ibn al-Qasim, had been deposed due to his inability to manage the dismal finances.
Fadl himself had been instrumental in disclosing that Ibn al-Qasim had only managed to balance the budget with revenue that was no longer available, thus precipitating his downfall.
The refugees fleeing both often rioted in Baghdad, and even attacked the vizier in his own residence; Fadl only escaped death by leaping into his barge and rowing away.
At the same time, Upper Mesopotamia was in the hands of Mu'nis al-Muzaffar, now hostile to the Caliph, while much of southern Iraq was being controlled or raided by the Qarmatians.
Harun ibn Gharib and Fadl encouraged al-Muqtadir to reconcile with Mu'nis al-Muzaffar, and invite the latter back to Baghdad, against the counsel of Muhammad ibn Yaqut and the sons of Ra'iq, who remained utterly opposed to Mu'nis.
It was not until the caliphate of al-Radi () that Fadl again occupied high office, being appointed inspector of Egypt and Syria.
His son Ja'far became vizier of the Ikhshidid dynasty of Egypt, remaining in office from 946 until the Fatimid conquest of Egypt in 969.

The Pikauba River and Pikauba Lake have enjoyed a considerable reputation among hunters and fishermen since the end of the 19th century.
The surface of the Pikauba River is usually frozen from late November to early April, however safe circulation on the ice is generally from mid-December to late March.
Bordered by steep mountains, its narrow course is dotted with rapids and has several falls; it widens downstream, rich in the waters of its drainage basin which includes the Apica, Écorces, Pika and Petite Pikauba rivers.
The Pikauba River originates at the dike at the southeast mouth of Pikauba Lake which has another outlet, the Cyriac River; this other mouth is located at the bottom of a bay on the north shore.
This lake has a narrowing generating a strait of a hundred meters in width demarcating the northern part of the lake.
The Pikauba River flows into a bay on the south shore of Kenogami Lake, west of Pointe Finnigan which is attached to the south shore of the lake.
From the confluence of the Pikauba river with the Kenogami Lake, the current crosses this lake for towards the northeast until the dam of Portage-des-Roches, then follows the course of the Chicoutimi River on to the east, then the northeast and the course of the Saguenay River on eastwards to Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence estuary.
The WCT Uiseong International Curling Cup is an annual bonspiel, or curling tournament, held at the Uiseong Curling Club in Uiseong, South Korea.
It was originally constructed to commemorate the men of the town killed during the First World War, particularly those serving with the local regiments, the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons and the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers.
Photographs of the war memorial in the aftermath became emblematic of this stage of The Troubles and the site was visited shortly afterwards by British prime minister Margaret Thatcher for a rescheduled remembrance ceremony.
The memorial was built by Gaffin & Co., whose showroom, the Carrara Marble and Granite Works, was at 63 Regent Street in London.
The main figure is of a British First World War soldier, in peaked cap with a rifle, resting on arms reversed.
The artist could not find a suitable photograph to work from so based the soldier on a painting by William Gibbes Mackenzie displayed at Belfast City Hall, which shows Thomas McNeilly of the Royal Irish Rifles standing at the temporary cenotaph erected in Belfast for the city's Peace Day commemoration on 9 August 1919.
The plinth also showed the names, ranks, decorations and regiments of 612 local men killed in the war and a coat of arms featuring Enniskillen Castle, which is associated with the local 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons and Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers regiments.
The stepped base has a bronze depiction of a crossed sword and rifle, reflecting the roles of the two regiments (cavalry and infantry).
The monument was unveiled by the last Lord Lieutenant of Ireland Edmund FitzAlan-Howard, 1st Viscount FitzAlan of Derwent on 24 October 1922.
At the unveiling wreaths were laid by Catholic and Protestant war orphans and an honour guard was provided by the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, the Lincolnshire Regiment and the Royal Horse Artillery.
British war memorials in Ireland had been targeted by Republicans during The Troubles, being seen as symbols of the British Army.
The Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) carried out a bombing at the County Fermanagh War Memorial during a Remembrance Sunday ceremony on 8 November 1987.
This killed 11 civilians attending the ceremony and injured 63 others, one of those injured never regained consciousness and died of his injuries on December 2000.
The death toll from this bombing, and news of a second, larger bomb planned to explode the same day at a ceremony in Tullyhommon, shocked many people and led to a loss of support for the IRA in the Republic of Ireland.
In response to the bombing the British prime minister Margaret Thatcher attended a rescheduled remembrance ceremony at the war memorial on 22 November.
The bombing had the effect of increasing attendance at remembrance ceremonies across Ireland and led to the Royal British Legion resuming sales of remembrance poppies in the Republic of Ireland.
The additional section contains depictions of 11 doves (each a unique sculpt) to commemorate those killed in the 1987 bombing and their names were also added to the memorial.
The central section of the plinth was also painted dark red around this time (photographs from 1987 show it as natural stone).
In 2012 the Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny visited the memorial on Remembrance Sunday to lay a green laurel wreath on behalf of the Irish government.
A separate memorial to the 12 people whose deaths were caused by the 1987 bombing was unveiled on 8 November 2017 (the 30th anniversary of the event).
it was initially sited on land owned by the Catholic Church's St Michael's Diocesan Trust but was removed within hours as the church had not granted its permission.
In 2019 it was announced that the memorial would be installed at The Clinton Centre, which stands on the site of a building destroyed by the bombing.

In early 1531, Richard Roose (also Richard Rouse, Richard Cooke) was accused of poisoning members of the household of John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester for which he was subsequently boiled alive.
Although nothing is known of Roose or his life outside of the case, he is believed to have been Fisher's household cook—or, less likely, a friend of the cook—at Lambeth Palace.
He was accused of adding a white powder to some porridge (or similar foodstuff) which was eaten by Fisher's dining guests and those begging food at his kitchen door; two people died.
Roose claimed that he had been given the powder to add to the food by a stranger, and claimed it was intended to be a joke—he thought he was incapacitating his fellow servants rather than killing anyone, he said.
King Henry VIII—who already had a morbid fear of poisoning—personally addressed the House of Lords on the case and was probably responsible for an act of parliament which attainted Roose and retroactively made murder by poison a treasonous offence mandating execution by boiling.
Fisher was already unpopular with the King, as Henry wished to divorce his wife, Katherine of Aragon, and marry Anne Boleyn, which the Church would not allow.
Fisher was vociferous in his defence of Katherine, and contemporaries rumoured that the poisoning at Lambeth was the responsibility of the Boleyn family, with or without the knowledge of the King.
There appears to have been at least one other attempt on Fisher's life when a cannon was fired towards the episcopal palace from the direction of Anne's father's house in London; on this occasion, no-one was hurt, but much damage was done to the roof and slates.
Fisher himself was executed by the King for his opposition to the Royal Supremacy, and Henry eventually married Anne and broke with the Catholic Church.
Henry died in 1547 and his poisoning act did not long outlive him, being repealed almost immediately by his son Edward VI.
It is considered by many historians to be a watershed in the history of attainder, which traditionally acted as a corollary to common law rather than replacing it, and was a direct precursor to the great treason attainders that were to underpin the Tudors'—and particularly Henry's—destruction of their political and religious enemies.
Parliament had been sitting since 3 November 1529 was still ongoing and had already passed a number of small, but significant acts, both against perceived social ills—such as vagabondage and the church—for example, restricting the right of sanctuary.
The ambassador from the Holy Roman Empire, Eustace Chapuys wrote to his master, the Emperor Charles V, that Fisher was unpopular with the King prior to the deaths, and reported that parties unnamed but close to the king had threatened to throw Fisher and his followers into the River Thames if he continued his opposition.
Attempts had been made to persuade Fisher by force of argument—the most recent had been the previous June in a disputation between Fisher and John Stokesley, Bishop of London—but, in so far as dispute resolution went, nothing had come of it.
It is possible that Roose was a friend of Fisher's cook although modern scholarship has settled for his being the cook himself.
Cases of deliberate, fatal poisoning were relatively rare in England—known more by reputation than experience—particularly when compared with traditionally high-profile felonies such as rape and burglary.
In the early afternoon of 18 February 1531 Bishop Fisher and a number of guests were dining together at his house—the episcopal palace—in Lambeth Marsh.
Fisher, who had not partaken of the dish, survived, but about 17 people were violently ill, including members of his dining party that night and the poor who regularly came to beg charity.
Hall relates the story of the buttery, suggesting that this acquaintance had despatched Roose to fetch him more drink and while he was out of the room, poisoned the pottage.
Chapuys believed Roose to have been Fisher's own cook, while the act of parliament noted only that he was a cook by occupation and from Rochester.
Dowling notes that he failed to provide any information as to the instigators of the crime, despite being severely tortured, which she argues is an indication that he was persuaded to act on another's behalf.
Bernard posits that Roose may have been persuaded, by some means, to poison the food; or conversely, that a stranger did so while Roose was absent from the kitchen (for example, on a trip to the buttery).
Chapuys himself expressed doubts as to Roose's supposed motivation, and the extant records do not indicate the process by which the authorities settled on Roose as the culprit in the first place.
Chapuys suggests the culprit to have been less likely the King and more likely to be the family of Anne Boleyn, headed by Wiltshire.
Bernard notes that Fisher had, for some time before the deaths, been something of a thorn in the King's side over his Great Matter, and it is not impossible that Henry—possibly acting through the Earl of Wiltshire, or with the latter working independently, perhaps through his own agents—intended to frighten or perhaps kill the bishop.
Chapuys at least suspected Henry of over-dramatising Roose's crime in a machiavellian effort to distract attention from his and the Boleyns' own poor relations with the bishop.
Such a rumour seems to have gained traction in parts of the country already ill-disposed to the Queen, and had probably been propagated by parties in favour remaining in the Roman church.
It is also likely that although Henry was determined to bring England's clergy directly under his control, the situation had not yet worsened to the extent that he wanted to be seen as an open enemy of the church or its leaders.
This highly individual response to a felony—based purely on the King's opinion of it—was presented as an expression of the King's own virtues: care for his subjects and god's peace.
Roose was, therefore, effectively condemned on the strength of Henry's personal interpretation of the events of 18 February rather than evidence, witnesses or confessions.
Kesselring suggests the shift in emphasis from felony to treason stemmed from Henry's political desire to restrict the privilege of benefit of clergy.
An attainder was presented against Roose, which meant that he was effectively found guilty with no common law proceedings being necessary even though, as a prisoner of the crown, there was no impediment to placing him on trial.
As a result of the deaths at Fisher's house, parliament—probably at the King's insistence— passed an act determining that murder by poison would henceforth be treason, to be punished by boiling alive.
The act was thus retroactive, in that the law which condemned Roose did not exist—poisoning not being classed as treason— when the crime was committed.
Through the act, Justices of the Peace and local assizes were given jurisdiction over treason, although this was effectively limited to coining and poisoning until later in the decade.
Although Roose was not the first to suffer such a fate, it was with him that boiling as a form of execution was placed on the statute book.
Rather, Stacy suggests, the method of execution was carefully chosen to re-enact the crime itself, in which Roose boiled poison into broth.
Shortly after the poisonings, reports Hall, describes a curious event when volleys of gunfire—probably from a cannon—were shot through the roof of Fisher's house, damaging rafters and slates.
Fisher's study, which he was occupying at the time, was close by; Hall alleges that the shooting came from the Earl of Wiltshire's house across the Thames from the bishop.
Had it succeeded, argues Stacy, through the usual course of law, Roose could at most have been convicted of petty treason.
Death by boiling, however, was used only once more as a method of execution, in March 1542—another case of poisoning, this time by a maidservant, Margaret Davy, who poisoned those she dwelt with.
Penry Williams suggests that the Roose case, and particularly the elevation of poisoning to a crime of high treason, is an example of a broader, more endemic, extension of capital offences under the Tudors and Henry VIII in particular.
Kesselring also questions why—although it may be understandable why the King pressed to attaint Roose—parliament so easily agreed to his demand, or broadened the definition of treason as they did.
This, Bellamy suggests, may have been Henry's way of persuading the Lords to support the measure, as in most cases they could expect to receive the goods and chattels of the convicted.
The historian William R. Stacy has argued that the Roose case is the first example of an attainder intended to avoid resorting to the common law, and that although it has been overshadowed by subsequent cases of greater political import it was the precedent upon which they were prosecuted.
Although attainder was a common parliamentary weapon for late-medieval English kings, it was effectively a form of outlawry, usually to supplement a common or martial law verdict with the confiscation of land and wealth as its intended result.
The scholar Suzannah Lipscomb has argued that not only were attainders increasingly used from the 1530s but that the decade shows the heaviest use of the mechanism in the whole of English history, while Stacy suggests that Henrician ministers resorted to the parliamentary attainder as a matter of routine.
The 2020 Major League Soccer All-Star Game is the 25th edition of the annual Major League Soccer All-Star Game, an exhibition soccer match in the United States.
It will be held on July 29, 2020, at Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles, California, and played against an all-star team from Liga MX, Mexico's top-flight league.
The game will be televised domestically on ESPN and UniMás in the United States, and on TSN and TVA Sports in Canada.
The Major League Soccer All-Star Game originally fielded two all-star teams from the Western and Eastern conferences, but was later contested against European clubs during their pre-season tours.
An exhibition between the MLS All-Stars and an all-star team from Liga MX, the top flight of Mexican soccer, was proposed in the mid-2010s as part of a closer relationship between the leagues.
Officials from MLS and Liga MX announced a new partnership in March 2018, including new club competitions like the Campeones Cup and Leagues Cup, and a commitment for a shared all-star game.
Liga MX president Enrique Bonilla attended the 2018 MLS All-Star Game in Atlanta with MLS commissioner Don Garber, where they continued discussions for the match, including a potential venue in the Los Angeles area.
On November 20, 2019, MLS officially announced that the 2020 All-Star Game would be played against the Liga MX All-Stars at Banc of California Stadium, the home of Los Angeles FC.
It is the first MLS All-Star Game to be played in the Los Angeles area since 2003, which was hosted by the LA Galaxy at the Home Depot Center, now known as Dignity Health Sports Park.

Kobi Y. Arad or Koby Y. Arad (Hebrew: קובי ארד; born Kobi Yakob Arad in Haifa, Israel, on October 2, 1981) is an Israeli-American pianist and composer.
Since 2009, he has performed at local cultural events in New York, such as at the Chabad House in New York during Hanukkah.
Arad's music has also been played on the Israel National Radio, as well as at the Tel Aviv Museum, the Knesset, and the Jerusalem Theatre.
The song, composed and produced by Dr. Kobi Arad and Craig Pruess, featured a mixed choir and soloists, consisting of 21 Grammy winners and nominees.
This group has joined the African national band Ganda Boys on February 12, 2016, to record the song for the cause of helping refugees around the world find home.
As the title suggests, the idea behind this system involves taking melodic segments (which are often compositional aphorisms or microcosms) and through improvisation, unfold them into full-blown compositional entities.
The project was a successor of several successful shows which were performed at the Jewish Community Center, New York and Governors Island, New York in collaboration with the Art Kibbutz.
Arad makes a stylistic reference to archaic instruments, such as lutes and ancient harps, by playing the piano in several octaves simultaneously, thus creating an atmospheric and stylistic effect of the Levites' orchestras.
The Mattel World Scrabble Championship 2019 was a Scrabble tournament organised by Mattel and Mindsports Academy (MSA) to determine the world champion in English Scrabble held from 19 to 24 November 2019.
The event was split into two divisions according to players' World English-Language Scrabble Players' Association (WESPA) ratings; the top division comprised some 46 players.
35 games were played on the first four days, after which the top eight proceeded to a 3-game quarterfinals, with the winners advancing to a 5-game semifinals on the same day; the top two players, defending champion Nigel Richards and 2017 champion David Eldar, played a best-of-five final the day after for the top prize of $8,000.
The main event was preceded by a Junior World Scrabble Championship (JWSC) from 16 to 18 November that was won by 13-year-old Pakistani Syed Imaad Ali.
The World Scrabble Championship 2019 took place at the Riveria International Centre in Torquay, Devon, England from 19 to 24 November.
Three former world champions participated in the main event, including four-time world champion and three-time defending champion Nigel Richards (2007, 2011, 2013, 2018), Brett Smitheram (one title: 2016), and David Eldar (one title: 2017).
Former world championship finalists Chris Lipe (2014) and Harshan Lamabadusuriya (2017), alongside former North American Scrabble Championship winners Dave Wiegand (2005, 2009) and Peter Armstrong (2015), also took part in the tournament.
Nigel Richards, David Eldar, Harshan Lamabadusuriya, Peter Armstrong, and Dave Wiegand qualified, alongside JWSC winner Syed Imaad Ali, Paul Gallen, and Jason Keller; Brett Smitheram and Chris Lipe were knocked out of contention, finishing eleventh and fourteenth respectively.
Both were former world champions; Richards won the world championship in 2007, 2011, and 2013, and was also the defending champion, while Eldar clinched the title in 2017.
Richards triumphed 3-1, winning three games in a row after conceding the opening game to Eldar, and became world champion for an unprecedented fifth time.

Soft climate change denial (also called implicit or implicatory climate change denial) is a state of mind acknowledging the existence of global warming in the abstract while remaining, to some extent, in partial psychological or intellectual denialism about its reality or impact.
A person in soft denial about global warming may neglect its urgency, miscalculate its risks, overestimate the extent of scientific uncertainty, and underestimate the extent of social change required to effectively mitigate climate change.
Additionally, one may prefer inaction, postponement of climate action, or maintaining the status quo to an unreasonable degree, or may simply fail to act on the issue whatsoever due to apathy or disengagement.
Michael Hoexter is credited with formalizing the definition of soft climate denial in September 2016, though the term was in use earlier.
While soft climate denial generally connotes a state of mind or set of beliefs, neoskepticism describes a deliberate set of rhetorical strategies adopted by opponents of climate mitigation policy.
Although neoskeptics do not deny the existence of global warming outright, they err toward the most optimistic, least disruptive projections and oppose mitigation policy as ineffective, costly, or both.
Both soft climate denial and neoskepticism are relevant to the politics of global warming, the political (not scientific) global warming controversy, and the study of environmental communication.
In May 2015, environmentalist Bill McKibben penned an op-ed criticizing Barack Obama's policies of approving petroleum exploration in the Arctic, expanding coal mining, and remaining indecisive on the Keystone XL pipeline.
Neoskeptics err toward the least-disruptive projections and least-active policies and, as such, neglect or misapprehend the full spectrum of risks associated with global warming.
According to Anne Pasek, the difficulty of comprehending the sheer scale of global warming and its effects can result in sincere (albeit ill-founded) belief that individual changes in behavior will suffice to address the problem without requiring more fundamental structural changes.
In political terms, soft climate denial can stem from concerns about the economics and economic impacts of climate change, particularly the concern that strong measures to combat global warming or mitigate its impacts will seriously inhibit economic growth.

The 2019 Islands District Council election was held on 24 November 2019 to elect all 10 elected members to the 18-member Islands District Council.
A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of Tamworth on 10 August 1940 because of the death of United Australia Party member Frank Chaffey.
The UAP held a five-way preselection which was won by Chaffey's son, Bill Chaffey, a farmer who had returned to the district about twelve months previously.
He won preselection over Tamworth station agent P. Marsh, grazier and Peel River Shire councillor J. Scott, Tamworth grain expert W. H. Lye and former federal MP Roland Green.
The Country Party did not contest the seat after forming an agreement with the UAP, mindful of the UAP having not contested an earlier by-election in the Country Party-held seat of Upper Hunter.
Two Labor parties contested the seat as a result of the second Lang Labor split: insurance agent and future MP Thomas Ryan (for the Australian Labor Party (Non-Communist)) and solicitor John Lyons (for the official Australian Labor Party).
Licentiate of the Medical Council of Hong Kong (LMCHK) is a medical license issued by the Medical Council of Hong Kong to doctors that have graduated from medical schools outside of Hong Kong and have met the requirements for such licensure in Hong Kong.
The Medical Council of Hong Kong requires that these non-locally graduated doctors display the LMCHK qualification as a post-nominal title first, before listing any other quotable qualifications, such as MD or MBBS.
Prior to the 1997 handover, graduates of non-Commonwealth jurisdictions had to obtain the LMCHK medical license before being eligible to practice medicine in Hong Kong.
During this Colonial era, doctors of Commonwealth countries were automatically granted registration by the MCHK without taking an examination or undergoing a internship or other period of assessment.
Consequently, the countries of origin of the LMCHK doctors have changed dramatically in the last 20 years; the group is now much more diverse.
According to the Medical Registration Ordinance, the purpose of passing the HKMLE shows the achievement of a standard acceptable for registration as a medical practitioner in Hong Kong.
The process involves assessment of the doctors’ medical education and professional knowledge, and have been found to be consistent with the high standards established and demanded by the Medical Council of Hong Kong.
To start the process of attaining LMCHK from the Medical Council of Hong Kong, doctors must apply after having fulfilled at least 5 years of non-local medical training, including having graduated from an accredited medical school outside of Hong Kong and completed an internship in a hospital.
In contrast, graduates of HKU and CUHK are eligible to directly register as medical practitioners in Hong Kong after internship by virtue of their local medical school degree without having to first seek a medical license.
In 2019, the LMCHK doctors founded a non-profit, professional association called The Medical Licentiate Society of Hong Kong (Licentiate Society) to represent them and to meet their group's professional needs.
The Caton Oak (also known as the Druid's Oak) was an ancient oak tree that stood in Caton, Lancashire, reputedly dating from the time of the druids.
The tree declined during the 20th century and was reinforced with a metal support; an acorn from the tree was planted in 2007 to grow a replacement.
The Caton is reputed to have been the focus of the village since the era of the druids, for whom the oak was a sacred tree which often formed the centre of religious rites.
In Medieval times monks from Cockersand Abbey used the steps to display for sale salmon that had been caught in the river.
By the 1940s the tree was the site for a portable blacksmith's forge where a smith from nearby Hornby regularly set up to shoe horses for Caton's agricultural community.
The tree became a local landmark and a symbol of the village, featuring in the logos of the village school and its sports club.
A sign affixed to railings around the tree states that it has been listed as a historic site by the Department of National Heritage.
Specialists were consulted who recommended that the tree be felled but it was saved by the villagers and the parish council who erected metal props to the branch in question.
The improvements were carried out in 1998 under the Parish and Community Environment Scheme funded by Lancashire County Council, Caton-with-Littledale Parish Council, Rural Action and public contributions.
On 27 April 2007 an acorn from the tree was planted within the hollow by the High Sheriff of Lancashire (Ruthe Winterbottom) so that a replacement tree could grow.

In the mathematics of graph coloring, Cereceda’s conjecture is an unsolved problem on the distance between pairs of colorings of sparse graphs.
It states that, for two different colorings of a graph of degeneracy , both using at most colors, it should be possible to reconfigure one coloring into the other by changing the color of one vertex at a time, using a number of steps that is quadratic in the size of the graph.
The degeneracy of an undirected graph is the smallest number such that every non-empty subgraph of has at least one vertex of degree at most .
If one repeatedly removes a minimum-degree vertex from until no vertices are left, then the largest of the degrees of the vertices at the time of their removal will be exactly , and this method of repeated removal can be used to compute the degeneracy of any graph in linear time.
Greedy coloring the vertices in the reverse of this removal ordering will automatically produce a coloring with at most colors, and for some graphs (such as complete graphs and odd-length cycle graphs) this number of colors is optimal.
For colorings with colors, it may not be possible to move from one coloring to another by changing the color of one vertex at a time.
In particular, it is never possible to move between 2-colorings of a forest (the graphs of degeneracy 1) or between -colorings of a complete graph in this way; their colorings are said to be frozen.
However, with one additional color, using colorings with colors, all pairs of colorings can be connected to each other by sequences of moves of this type.
It follows from this that an appropriately designed random walk on the space of -colorings, using moves of this type, is mixing.
This means that the random walk will eventually converge to the discrete uniform distribution on these colorings as its steady state, in which all colorings have equal probability of being chosen.
More precisely, the random walk proceeds by repeatedly choosing a uniformly random vertex and choosing uniformly at random among all the available colors for that vertex, including the color it already had; this process is called the Glauber dynamics.
The fact that the Glauber dynamics converges to the uniform distribution on -colorings naturally raises the question of how quickly it converges.
A lower bound on the mixing time is the diameter of the space of colorings, the maximum (over pairs of colorings) of the number of steps needed to change one coloring of the pair into the other.
If the diameter is exponentially large in the number of vertices in the graph, then the Glauber dynamics on colorings is certainly not rapidly mixing.
On the other hand, when the diameter is bounded by a polynomial function of , this suggests that the mixing time might also be polynomial.
In his 2007 doctoral dissertation, Cereceda investigated this problem, and found that (even for connected components of the space of colors) the diameter can be exponential for -colorings of -degenerate graphs.
On the other hand, he proved that the diameter of the color space is at most quadratic (or, in big O notation, ) for colorings that use at least colors.
Although Cereceda asked this question for a range of colors and did not phrase it as a conjecture, by 2018 a form of this question became known as Cereceda's conjecture.
This unproven hypothesis is the most optimistic possibility among the questions posed by Cereceda: that for graphs with degeneracy at most , and for -colorings of these graphs, the diameter of the space of colorings is .
Although Cereceda's conjecture itself remains open even for degeneracy , it is known that for any fixed value of the diameter of the space of -colorings is polynomial (with a different polynomial for different values of ).
A related question concerns the possibility that, for numbers of colors greater than , the diameter of the space of colorings might decrease from quadratic to linear.
Both of these kinds of moves include the Glauber one-vertex moves as a special case, as changing the color of one vertex is the same as swapping the colors on a Kempe chain that only includes that one vertex.
For instance, both the Kempe dynamics and the heat bath dynamics mix rapidly on 3-colorings of cycle graphs, whereas the Glauber dynamics is not even connected when the length of the cycle is not four.

Gallus Jakob Alt (* 10 September 1610 in Oberriet; † 4 March 1687 in St. Gallen) was prince-abbot of Saint Gall from 1654 until 1687.
Born and raised in Oberriet in the St. Gallen Rhine valley, he received his education in the Latin school in Appenzell.
On 8 September 1628, Jakob Alt took his vows in the benedictine Abbey of Saint Gall and was given the monastic name Gallus.
In 1645 he was made governor of monastic properties in Ebingen, he became subprior of Saint Gall in 1647, and prior and governor of Neu St. Johann in 1650.

The Chalet was built between 1864 and 1869 for King Fernando II (1816-85), King-Consort to Queen Maria II until her death in 1853, and his future second wife, Elise, Countess of Edla (1836-1929), who was a Swiss-born, American-naturalized opera singer.
It caused considerable scandal because they wanted to marry, although she was a commoner who had, moreover, a young daughter with an unknown father.
The couple finally managed to marry in 1869 when Fernando persuaded his cousin, Ernest II, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, to create a title for Elise, enabling her to become Countess of Edla.
The couple planned the chalet to be in the style of a typical Swiss Chalet, that was much in vogue throughout Europe at the time.
However, the Portuguese State bought the property from her, believing it to be too important to be in the hands of a foreigner and the second wife of the deceased king.
With some of the proceeds the Countess continued to give scholarships to the pianist and composer José Vianna da Motta and to Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro an artist and cartoonist.
Following a fire in 1999 that partially destroyed it, reconstruction, supported by EEA and Norway Grants, was undertaken from 2007 in order to return the building to its original state.

Ulmus 'Wingham' is a complex hybrid elm cultivar featuring two Asiatic and two European species, bestowing it with an exceptionally high resistance to Dutch elm disease (DED).
It was raised by the Istituto per la Protezione delle Piante (IPP) in Florence, but never patented owing to its limited aesthetic appeal.
It was introduced to the UK in 2011 by Dr David Herling, Resistant Elms, who trialled it successfully at Wingham in Kent.
Tested by inoculation with the pathogen, 'Wingham' displayed an extraordinary resistance ('5 out of 5') to Dutch Elm Disease, exhibiting defoliation of just 1.44%, with 0% dieback, one of the highest of all the 1000+ clones raised by IPP, Italy.
At the Castellaccio trials site in Italy, specimens increased in height by up to 1.94 m per annum, with a commensurate increase in girth of 2.84 cm.

Henri Décamps, born on 18 December 1935 in Paris, is a French biologist specialising in the ecology of rivers and river landscapes.
He has been a member of the French Academy of sciences since 2008 (correspondant in 1993), of the Académie d'agriculture de France since 2004 (correspondant in 1998) and a member of Academia Europaea since 2009.
Student at the Lycée Lapérouse in Albi, he obtained a degree in natural sciences and a diploma of advanced studies in hydrobiology at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Toulouse.
Henri Décamps first worked on the ecology of aquatic insects of the order Trichoptera, highlighting the influence of the vegetation cover of drainage basins on the diversity of aquatic fauna in mountain streams in the Pyrenees.
He then participated in the study of planktonic algal blooms in the Lot River, and identified the causes and consequences of this phenomenon.
In 1980, he was appointed Director of the CNRS Vegetation Map Service, with the mission of developing this service laboratory into an ecological research laboratory.
It demonstrates the importance of riparian areas as an interface for exchanges between running water ecosystems and neighbouring terrestrial ecosystems, leading to a better understanding of the dynamics of riparian vegetation cover, the decomposition of their litter and their role in recycling carbon and nitrogen into floodplains.
These results have played an important role in the development of two key concepts in landscape ecology: the concepts of corridor and connectivity, which are particularly used in conservation biology.
Elected to the French Academy of sciences, Henri Décamps directed a report on extreme weather events, which led him to participate in the drafting of the IPCC special report on this issue.
He has chaired various research committees within the framework of the environmental programmes of the CNRS, the Ministry of the Environment and UNESCO.
It is a journal operated by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), with the Geosciences Institute at the Complutense University of Madrid.

In 1578, the family became known for maintaining the relations between Venice and Istanbul having the first of the family member Zuanne Giovanni Bolizza.
The family received three ships used for the transfer of letters which is mentioned in the report of Marino Bolizza in 1614, who according to studies, was one of Zuanne's sons.
The mailmen arrived from Venice in Kotor who then proceeded to travel the dangerous path to Plav and from there, the travel was safe.
There was also a Giovanni The family maintained good relations with the Montenegrin and Albanian tribes, Ottoman pashas and beys as well as Venice and Rome.
In 1632, Giorgio Bianchi (Gjergj Bardhi), the bishop of Sapë, met Bonaventura Palazzolo, a reformed Franciscan missionary in Rome, who helped convince the Congregation to create the Franciscan mission in Albania.
This work is considered to be thanks to Bolizza who thanks to his good relations with the Ottomans, managed to obtain a letter from the Pashalik of Bosnia to guarantee the inviolability of the missionaries.
He maintained good contact with the Congregation in order to supply the missionaries with food, clothing and supplies, sometimes paying for it himself.
In 1644, two highwaymen killed two friars, mostly thanks to the hostile tendencies increasing as a result of the Cretan War.
The Ottmans felt threatened by the Anti-Turkish machinations of the Franciscans, and in February 1648, two missionaries and their assistant Giorgio Jubani (Alb: Gjergj Jubani) were impaled.
Bolizza managed to gain the protection of the Ottoman military leader of Alessio (Lezhë), Sinan Bey, which made it possible to renovate their settlement in Pedena and Pulati.
Francesco Bolizza strove for personal interests such as in 1647 when he requested exemption from the prohibition of marriage among relatives for the children of patricians of Kotor, including his own daughter.
He also fought to have his illegitimate child at the school of Collegio Urbano and the congregation paid the costs as an expression of gratitude.
The Bolizza brothers were in constant contact with Çengizade (Čengić) Ali, sanjak-bey of Hercegovina in 1653 and Jusuf Begović, sanjak-bey of Scutari, two prominent Ottoman leaders who maintained good relations with Venice and who preferred trading relations over military conquest.
In May 1662, Čengić wrote a letter to Vincenzo Bolizza informing him that he had orders to attack the Venetian strongholds in Dalmatia, and due to the affection held for Venice, he would do all he could to divert his forces towards Transylvania.
Eventually, more serious problems came from marauding pirates of Hajduks and Uskosks and Vincenco and Nicolo Boliza tried to mitigate their impact on the people of Kotor.
In 1635, Francesco Bolizza died in Kotor and was replaced by his brother Vincent Bolizza who continued in his brothers foot steps working for the Congregation.
Francesco Bolizza helped create the mandate for the family's hire in Rome and he also contributed in securing the Franciscan mission in Albania.
In 1639, Mardarije, the vladika of Cetinje, was convinced by Francesco Bolizza to convert to Catholicism, and thus, departed for Rome, but due to Ottoman suspicion, Bolizza persuaded him to abandon his travels.
Eventually Mardarije professed his faith in the Mahine monastery (in Venetian territory) to which he retreated after having endured several months in Turkish captivity.
Giovanni Bolizza (d. 1708) also helped the vladika of Cetinje and Arzenije Crnojevic, the patriarch of Peja, to develop closer ties to Venice.
Most missionaries actives in the areas around Grbalj, Luštica, Paštrovići, Budva and Antivari turned to Bolizza for help and they also helped the correspondence between the Orthodox monks of Montenegro and Catholic missionaries.
In 1659, Vincenco Bolizza sent the Congregation a report of payments which had been made to the Albanian Franciscans between 1650 and 1658.
These payments included supplies and wages for captains who accompanied the missionaries, but also ransoms paid for people who had been taken captive.
Bolizza mentioned that he desired to spread the Catholic faith in the southern Balkans, and he was sad that the mission in Northern Albania had temporarily been shut down.
Whether or not a missionary was successful in southern Balkans depended on the relationships with the Bolizza family who exercised great influence in Rome.
Thanks to a close friend Francesco Leonardi, in 1644, the Congregation transferred Giorgio Bianchi (Gjergj Bardhi), the archbishop of Antivar, to the bishopric of Sapë.
Leonardi was appointed in his place and after his death, Francesco Bolizza recommended friar Gregorio Romano, who was working in Albania.
However Bolizza's advice was ignored and the Pope instead appointed Giuseppe Maria Buonaldi, a Dalmatian Dominican, which resulted in a total failure.
Buonaldi spoke neither Albanian nor was he accustomed to the culture of the Albanians and Bolizza frequently reported the failures of Buonaldi to the Congregation.
Albanians always preferred their own bishops who spoke the same language and was of the same ethnicity, as the elderly of Priskë e Madhe wrote on August 10, 1578.
In 1630s, Bolizza established contact with the leaders of the Montenegrin and Albanian tribes who had risen against the Ottomans as a result of high taxes.
Following the outbreak of the Cretan War, Francesco Bolizza was the main mediator between Venice and the Balkan tribal leaders who came in accordance of an assault.
In 1649, 300 Venetian troops marched against the city of Podgorica under the Ochrida archbishop, the bishop of Sapë and Vincenco Boliza, who were joined by a small group of tribal men from the Kuçi tribe.

The Budapest Puppet Theater () has been open since 1949, with its primary venue currently situated at 69 Andrássy út, Budapest.
The Budapest Puppet Theater is the biggest institution of its kind in Central-Europe and the oldest professional puppet theater in Hungary.
Since the theatre has been established, they performed with hand and rod puppets hiding behind the screen, dressed up in black velvet to create the perfect illusion with the puppets held out in the light.
They have manipulated marionette figures from above, shadow figures from behind, bunraku puppets on the table and giant puppets from inside masks.
Fashion changes, traditions are being born and forgotten, but one thing has never changed, the spell of magic of revival of a lifeless animated object for children and adults.
The State Puppet Theater opened on the 8th of October in 1949, and it was renamed in 1992 as Budapest Puppet Theater.
It has proven the legitimacy and equality of puppetry with other genres of performing arts with the help of sovereign puppet versions of classic dramas and classical pieces.
The biggest successes of the company are linked to the unique definitions of classical music adaptations on all the five continents.
The theater's company has three stages to play: the main stage, which has around 400 seats, the Ország Lili Studio, which can be rearranged in several styles.
The carefully timed and thermalized exhibitions put an emphasis on the representation of the past and present of puppetry as an art form showing the designs and works of emblematic puppet designers and theatre companies.
The Budapest Puppet Theater initiated the celebration of World Puppet Day on March 21 in 2014 and since then Hungarian puppet artists in the country and abroad organize feasts and flash mobs.
With these series of events the organizers are keen to put an emphasis on the colorfulness of the Hungarian Puppet art, on its own institutions and independent companies and also on the actors who are valuable parts of the productions.
On this day the professional and amateur companies, educational institutions and one man shows get the chance to introduce themselves and entertain their audience outside of the buildings of puppet theaters.
The State Puppet Theater was established on September 1, 1949, and its predecessor was the Fairy Tale Cave, nationalized for the second time, which operated for only one and a half years on the second floor of the Art Theater which is the former Parisien Grill.
The only official puppet theater in Hungary immediately moved to 69 Andrássy Avenue, in place of the former National Chamber Theater.
In accordance with the cultural policy of that time, at first only pieces for children were shown, even though the new leadership wanted to take a different direction.
Until 1958, there was an uncertain period, several directors and chief directors exchanged, and the composition of the company changed constantly too.
However, some highly successful performances have shown that Budapest audiences are interested in puppeteer productions: for example, the Star Parade has had snaking lines in front of the cash register for years.
In the early years, the Győr State Puppet Theater's program provided the major part of the show, but from 1964, using a completely new language for their repertoire they introduced musical theater performances.
This is where Petruska (1965), The Prince of Wood (1965), The Wonderful Mandarin (1969), and János Háry (1972), often still mentioned, were born.
More and more people questioned the legitimacy of the former illusion theater, many open forms appeared and the animators themselves became more prominent, and it was no longer unusual to see them in a show.
In Hungary, puppetry did not develop at this pace, thus the State Puppet Theater program lost its spirit of experimenting, so it was not at all surprising that a group of young artists working here left the institution and established their own workshop in Kecskemét.
Szilágyi retired in 1992, and he was replaced by Iván Koós and László Villányi, the former was responsible for the artistic level, the latter took care of the smooth running of the business, but by the end of the first joint season it became apparent that this line was inoperable.
In the same year the name of the institution changed, and the theater continues to function as the Budapest Puppet Theater.
In 1994 the Arany János Theater, the only children's theater in the country, was abolished, giving the two puppet theaters in Budapest an even greater responsibility to serve the needs of the youngest.
In the same year, János Meczner, former director of the Arany János Theater, won the management of the Andrássy Avenue institution.
He took over the theater in a time of crisis and it was him who had to make some changes in order to keep up with the constant development of the genre, while preserving its enduring values.
The main aim of the Budapest Puppet Theater is to raise attention of children towards theater, make them love the genre and to form their theatrical taste.
The Budapest Puppet Theater has been performing for over seven decades and it has a special place in the capital city's cultural life.
Their job is notable because 80% of their viewers are kindergarten kids or elementary school students, who usually receive their first theater experience in the Puppet Theater.
Besides composing the repertory with a literary and artistic concern, both pedagogical and psychological aspects are also considered in the material.
A clear description is given to every performance for the audience to be able to decide, which age they are recommended, but those are the best children plays which can be enjoyed by the parents and teachers too.
The Budapest Puppet Theater is strongly committed to the idea that the genre of the puppet is for every age-group this is why they constantly expand their repertory to draw the attention of the adult audience as well.
Artists working in the Budapest Puppet Theater do not see puppetry as a form, but as an endless source of possibilities.
A change of paradigms has taken place in the past 25 years both in the European and in the Hungarian art of puppetry.
Puppetry integrates the fellow art forms, and it is more and more common, that classical theatre and dance productions add extra puppet elements in their shows.
The puppet genre is capable of methods of expression that the live theater cannot manage to do due to its limitations.
It is done paradoxically based on a more than hundred year of traditional techniques, focusing on preservation and renaissance at the same time.
It has well-trained and devoted actors whose work is guarantee for the high quality of the performances and the possibility of improvement.

PRP(C) was formed in late 1947 by a dissident group of erstwhile United Venezuelan Communist Party (PCVU) leaders, including by Salvador de la Plaza, Luis Miquilena, Horacio Scott Power and Rodolfo Quintero, who had opposed the reconciliation of PCVU with the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) at the November 1946 Unity Congress.
In contrast to the PCV, the PRP(C) rejected the notion of building alliances with the 'progressive bourgeoisie' for a 'national bourgeois revolution'.
Instead PRP(C) maintained its own trade union organizations, the most prominent being the bus drivers' union in Caracas and the petrol workers of Puerto de la Cruz and San Joaquín.
Political parties were assigned coloured ballots ahead of the 1947 Venezuelan general election and the PRP(C) was assigned the colour black.
Subsequently the PRP(C) became nick-named 'the Black Communists' in contrast to the 'Red Communists' of the PCV (whose ballot papers were red).
The party obtained 3,697 votes (0.53%) in the May 1948 municipal elections, but only managed to win a few seats in Anzoátegui state.
At the time of the 1948 Venezuelan coup d'état the PRP(C) argued that the ousted government of Rómulo Gallegos had been a puppet of U.S. imperialism, and declined to the defend it.
However, after its legalization the Federal District trade union federation was split in two groups, one led by Rodolfo Quinteros and one led by Cruz Villegas.
By this point the party had shrunk and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union had called for unity among the Venezuelan communists.
The park is located at Ramu and Cox's Bazar Sadar Upazila, Cox's Bazar District, in the southeast region of the country.
The loss of tree diversity and population is due to encrochments for cultivation, invasion of weed species, grazing of cattles, collection of minor forest produces and fuel wood, fire hazard, expansion of network of roads and other infrastructure projects.

Declan Moore (born on 15 September 1996 in Australia) is an Australian rugby union player who plays for the in Super Rugby.
The team was first described in a 1977 book, and supposedly consists of prominent Greek people who possess secret knowledge of extraterrestrial origin.
Beginning in the 1980s, literature about the society became infused with anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, placing the Epsilon Team in a cosmic battle against the Jews.
The body of beliefs related to the Epsilon Team has been labeled epsilonism, and those who subscribe to it have been labeled epsilonists.
Epsilon is the fifth letter of the Greek alphabet, and has a modern history as a symbol for freedom and Greece.
A precursor to the epsilonists was Spyridon Nagos, a Freemason and socialist who in the early 20th century envisioned a secret society of high-ranking Greeks, working in secret for the benefit of their country.
Lefkofrydis described the existence of a secret society of influential Greeks, who had extraterrestrial knowledge stemming from Aristotle, and who worked to protect the interests of the Greek people.
The most prominent writers on epsilonism in the 1980s and 1990s were Ioannis Fourakis, Anestis S. Keramydas, Dimosthenis Liakopoulos and Georgios Gkiolvas.
Fourakis is generally considered to have coined the name Epsilon Team, and was also prominent in fusing epsilonism with anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
In Fourakis' works, the Greeks are presented as being of extraterrestrial origin, associated with the Olympian gods, and part of an ancient cosmic war against the Jews.
He claimed to be a member of the secret society and emphasised the racial, anti-Semitic and pro-Orthodox angle, and added that the Jews also were of extraterrestrial origin.
The phenomenon, although fringe, is relatively well known in Greece, and has had an impact on the conspiracy theory milieu and popular culture.
People who have been named in epsilonist literature as members include Aristotle Onassis, Alexander Onassis, Spyridon Marinatos, the publisher Ioannis Passas, the mathematician Kostas Karatheodoris, the general C. Nikolaidis, the physicist Kosta Tsipis, the mayor of Athens Antonis Tritsis, the Greek-American George Tsantes who was murdered by the 17 November Group, Alexandros Bodosakis, Dimitris Liantinis and the astronomer Konstantínos Chasapis.
The most publicised event occurred in October 2015, when five men were detained for the bombings of the Bank of Greece in Kalamata and the statue of Constantine XI Palaiologos in Mystras.
The men belonged to a terrorist group called Team Epsilon, which also possessed a large number of explosives and firearms, and had plans for further attacks.
It is open to people of all races and religions, and does not subscribe to anti-Semitism or the eschatological beliefs of epsilonism.

Some protested against various proposed economic and political reforms proposed by the government of Iván Duque Márquez, others against the few violent protestors and in favor of the Colombian peace process, etc.
While mostly peaceful in nature, a few violent incidents took place throughout the protests, leading to overnight curfews in Cali and Bogotá.
According to 2018 Corruption Perception Index data released by Transparency International to measure public sector corruption in 180 countries and territories, giving each a score from zero (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean), Colombia scores 36 points.
Duque was also accused of not putting effort into the Colombian peace process with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) as violence occurring in rural areas of Colombia resulted with the deaths of indigenous leaders.
As a means of demonstrating, labor unions organized a twelve-hour nationwide strike that was to be held on 21 November 2019, with other groups such as Indigenous leaders, students, and anti-corruption activists.
These protests follow smaller student protests earlier in the year that failed to attract many supporters or attention, and have been inspired by the other protests across Latin America.
On 21 November, many Colombians, estimated between 200,000 and over 1 million, protested throughout the country, with the government responding by deploying 170,000 troops.
Demonstrations turned violent, with clashes between police and protesters occurring later in the day and some groups attempting to storm Capitolio Nacional, the building that houses the Congress of Colombia.
Fights broke out near the country's international airport, and tear gas was also fired at people at the National University of Bogotá.
The mayor of Cali imposed a curfew from 19:00 local time until 6:00 the next morning () as a response to violence.
On the first day of protests, three people were killed, with 98 arrested and 273 combined protesters and security forces injured.
The following day, thousands of protesters gathered at Plaza Bolívar in the capital Bogotá, where they were later dispersed with tear gas.
Many protests were peaceful, while some instances of looting and the theft of a public bus occurred in the capital city, where a curfew was enforced in the evening.
In Santander de Quilichao in the southwest of the country, three police officers were killed, and ten more injured, by a car bomb.
After the initial anti-austerity and anti-corruption protests had begun, other groups joined in demonstrations, including environmental action groups, animal rights groups, and women's rights groups.
The lootings happening in poorer areas have contributed to an increase in anti-Venezuelan sentiment, with some suspecting Venezuelan migrants to part of the perpetrators.
Going into the morning of 23 November, Duque said that he would not recall troops that had been patrolling in the streets, and that the measure was to maintain order.
After the previous night's curfew, protesters returned to the streets, with hundreds in the capital's National Park being dispersed with tear gas, and to Plaza Bolívar and the Capitol building.
One protester was critically wounded on Saturday after being hit in the head by a tear gas canister, prompting other protesters to hold a vigil.
Michel Delseny (born June 17, 1945) is Director of Research Emeritus at the CNRS and a member of the French Academy of sciences.
Delseny initially focused on the study of gene expression in higher plants, mainly during seed development and germination, as well as in response to stress.
After a Baccalaureate C in Paris in 1963, he obtained a master's degree in natural sciences: Plant Biology and Physiology in Paris in 1968, then a diploma of advanced studies: plant cytology and morphogenesis in Paris in 1969.
He passed the agrégation and CAPES in Natural Sciences (1st in both competitions) in 1970, then obtained a doctorate in biochemistry in Montpellier in 1972 and a doctorate in molecular biology in Montpellier in 1977.
He is a member of the Environmental Sciences Committee, the Science and Biosafety Committee of the French Academy ofsSciences, the Working Group on Artificial Intelligence and a member of the Management Board of the Foundation of the University of Perpignan Via Domitia (UPVD) since 2014.
Michel Delseny was also associate editor of Plant Molecular Biology (1996-2006), Plant Cell Physiology (4 years, from 2009 to 2013, then the Advisory Editorial Board until 2017), and Botanical Studies since 2014, co-editor in chief of Plant Science from 2003 to 2015, co-editor in chief of Advance in Botanical Research, from 2006 to 2014, co-editor of CR Biologies (2018-).
He is Deputy Director of Génopole Montpellier Languedoc-Roussillon (1999-2006), President of CSD 7 (Ecological Agronomy) of the ANR's White Programme (2005-2007), Vice-President of COPED (Developing Countries Committee) of the French Academy of sciences (2017-2021).
Finally, he has been the referent of the pilot centre of La Main à la pâte of Perpignan since 2014 and of the Maison pour la Science de Toulouse since 2017 and a member of the scientific council of La Main à la pâte.
Throughout his career, Michel Delseny has been involved in teaching activities, most often on a voluntary basis at the University of Perpignan.
Following Yves Guitton's death in July 1977, he taught biochemistry and plant physiology with his colleague Françoise Grellet in DEUG and Master's degree from September 1978 to June 1979, pending the appointment of his replacement, Paul Penon.
Michel Delseny has participated or organized advanced practical or theoretical courses abroad or in France: Valdivia (Chile), Mar del Plata (Argentina), Bordeaux, Perpignan, Pau, Montpellier, Barcelona, Cabrils (Spain), Hsinchu, Taipei and Tainan (Taiwan).
He has directed, or co-directed, the work of 30 thesis students, as many post-doctoral fellows and foreign visitors and participated in 9 thèses d'État juries, 135 university theses and 25 research authorizations.
About 200 publications in peer-reviewed journals (Plant Physiology, Plant Journal, Plant Cell, Nature, Planta, European Journal of Biochemistry, FEBS Letters, EMBO J, PNAS, Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, Plant Science...) and numerous popular articles and book chapters (H index 46).
He has participated in 3 patents and has been a guest speaker at hundreds of national and international conferences and has given about 200 seminars, in France and abroad.
He was among the first to show (during his post-doctoral fellowship in 1979-1980) that the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus (CaMV) DNA, after cloning and amplification in Escherichia coli, was infectious and identical to the original DNA when inoculated to a host plant.
He was the first to report the sequence of the spacer of genes encoding ribosomal RNAs of a dicotyledon in 1988 and to show the bases of ribosomal gene heterogeneity in plants.
These observations had a strong impact, as it was the beginning of collaborations with the plant breeding sector at INRA, IRD, CIRAD and with private partners.
The 1990s were marked by their participation in major sequencing programs for Arabidopsis genomes and rice and thus discovered many genes whose function they elucidated.
They also discovered in 2000 that plant genomes had undergone global duplication cycles during the evolution of cycles and thus contributed to the current conception of genome evolution.
Following the discovery by his collaborators of genes encoding small regulatory RNAs (miRNA and siRNA) and for new RNA polymerases, his laboratory is now involved in epigenetics and the control of gene expression by small RNAs.

After jurisprudential studies, in 1791 Bentzel-Sternau became government counsellor of the Electorate of Mainz under Karl Theodor von Dalberg in Erfurt.
In 1806 he entered the Baden services, became ministerial director in 1808 and president of the upper court in 1810 in Mannheim.
After the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt had been occupied by the German powers allied against Napoleon in the autumn of 1813 - it was not dissolved until the summer of 1814 - Bentzel-Sternau withdrew into private life.
He again proved his liberal and committed attitude as a delegate of the Bavarian Chamber of Estates in the years 1825 to 1828.
In this satire, Bentzel takes up the arguments and demands of the literary Jew hunt, which had found fertile ground after the Congress of Vienna, and takes them to absurdity by exaggerating them.
Visionary, the author predicts a development that was soon caught up in the horrors of the anti-Jewish Hep-Hep riots in Germany.
Bentzel was apparently aware of the pronounced anti-Jewish dynamics and the great potential for violence that had accumulated against the Jews in the period after the Congress of Vienna - spurred on by inflammatory writings and pamphlets published in many places.

Rockingham Lakes Regional Park is a conservation park approximately 40 kilometers south of Perth, Western Australia, located within the City of Rockingham.
The park, established in 1997, covers a non-continuous area of 4,270 hectares and occupies approximately 16 percent of the area of the City of Rockingham.
The concept of regional spaces in Western Australia open to the public was first proposed in 1955, when the Stephenson-Hepburn Report recommended preserving private land for future public use in what would become the Perth Metropolitan Region in 1963.
In 1989, the Western Australian State Government allocated the responsibility of managing regional parks with the Department of Conservation and Land Management.
A Regional Parks Taskforce was established in 1990 but the EPA reported in 1993 that the establishment of these parks encountered difficulties.
The park covers an area of 4,270 hectares and occupies approximately 16 percent of the area of the City of Rockingham.
The park is non-continuous, with Cape Peron and Lake Richmond forming an isolated north-western block and Anstey and Paganoni Swamp a separate southern part.
The Port Kennedy Scientific Park and Lark Hill block is separated from Lake Cooloongup, Lake Walyungup and Tamworth Hill by a major road- and rail corridor, while smaller roads still separate the other areas.
The Lake Cooloongup, Lake Walyungup, Port Kennedy Scientific Park and Lark Hill areass are potentially contaminated with Unexploded Ordnance, having been used as artillery range by the Department of Defence in the era around World War II.
Oakleigh is a settlement south of Whangarei in the Whangarei District of the Northland Region of New Zealand, on the main highway and the North Auckland Line.

The 1987 League of Ireland Cup Final was the final match of the 1986–87 League of Ireland Cup (called the Opel League Cup for sponsorship purposes), a knock-out association football competition contested annually by clubs affiliated with the League of Ireland.
Its first round, in which four teams played each other in a double round-robin system, took place before the start of the league schedule.
The two sides had met twice already that season, with Shamrock Rovers winning both the President's Cup final and the league fixture in Milltown.
They reached the final by topping their group over Cork City, Drogheda United and EMFA, and then defeating St Patrick's Athletic (in a penalty shoot-out after a 0–0 draw) and Athlone Town (1–0).
Shamrock Rovers had won the League Cup once previously, in 1976–77, and had lost on their two previous appearances in the final.
In the 1986–87 season they would go on to win a League and FAI Cup Double, with Dundalk finishing as runners-up in both competitions.
Dundalk had three players making debuts, including local-league player Paul Matthews who was signed as cover on New Year's Eve; while manager Turlough O'Connor, was obliged to be listed as '13th player' on the team-sheets.
Dundalk's Dessie Gorman missed two early chances before they were awarded a controversial penalty in the 39th minute, when Noel Larkin was adjudged to have fouled Tom McNulty near the goal-line in a tussle for possession.

Kerala beef fry is a dish made of beef, slow-roasted in a mixture of spices, onions, curry leaves, and coconut slivers, fried in coconut oil.
The dishes origins can be traced back to AD 52, after which Syrian Christians have been known to have settled in Kerala, however the first Jewish settlers arrived in Kerala as early as AD 7, and brought with them humane cattle slaughter techniques, which could have also led to the development of the recipe.
The dish is prepared by cooking chunks of meat in a mixture of spices which include Turmeric, Coriander, Garam Masala, Black Pepper, Red Chilli, cooked along with Onions, Shallots, Ginger and Garlic.
The meat is usually cooked in a pressure cooker to soften it before it is slow roasted in the mixture of spices, till it reaches a dry consistency.
Kerala beef fry is most commonly eaten with Kerla Porotta, whereas in other parts such as Thrippunithara, the dish has been combined with pazhampori or banana fritters and has become a very popular combo in the state.
Kerala beef fry, has found itself in the middle of many a controversy in India, with the central Government banning the slaughter and of cattle.
However, electoral candidates from the same ruling party went to great lengths to assure their voters that beef would be supplied in the most hygienic conditions.
National award-winning actress Surabhi Lakshmi was also in the center of a controversy, where news was published that she at beef fry during the Onam festival.

Sensis is an Australian platforms and marketing services company that owns the Yellow Pages, White Pages as well as a variety of other websites and publications in Australia.
Prior to the sale of 70% of the Sensis business to American private equity firm Platinum Equity in March 2014, Sensis was Telstra's wholly owned advertising and directories arm.
Sensis was originally known as National Directory Services (NDS), but subsequently renamed Pacific Access in 1991, before changing its name to Sensis in August 2002.
The original cost of development and implementation was estimated at A$300 million which was funded by Telstra, but a twelve-month delay in deployment and lack of user acceptance testing almost doubled the original cost.
In November 2009, the entire White Pages directory product reverted to the legacy system, GENESIS, after realisation by Sensis management that iGen was incapable of delivering expected performance.
In 2010, the CEO of Sensis at the time Bruce Akhurst announced that the Yellow Pages had been switched over to iGen.
The building was originally used as a facility for dispensing justice but, following the implementation of the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, which established county councils in every county, it also became the first meeting place for Waterford County Council.
Following an extensive refurbishment and expansion, the Waterford Courthouse was officially re-opened by Charles Flanagan, Minister for Justice and Equality, in April 2018.
Arda-Mulissu had served as Sennacherib's crown prince and heir for several years, since the death of Sennacherib's first crown prince Ashur-nadin-shumi in 694 BC, but was for unknown reasons replaced as heir by Esarhaddon in 684 BC.
Disappointed by this, Arda-Mulissu was the chief orchestrator of a 681 BC conspiracy in which he and one of his younger brothers, Sharezer, murdered Sennacherib in the hopes of seizing the throne.
After their failure, Arda-Mulissu and Sharezer fled to the Kingdom of Urartu in the north after which their fate is uncertain.
Shortly after this appointment, Sennacherib campaigned against Elam (modern day southern Iran) to chase after Chaldean rebels which had fled there.
In response to this incursion into their territory, the Elamites invaded the southern parts of the Neo-Assyrian Empire and in 694 BC successfully captured Ashur-nadin-shumi at the city of Sippar.
Needing to appoint a new heir from among his sons, Sennacherib then elevated his second eldest surviving son, Arda-Mulissu, as crown prince.
Although Arda-Mulissu held the position of heir apparent for several years, he was replaced as heir by his younger brother Esarhaddon in 684 BC.
Sennacherib noted the increasing popularity of Arda-Mulissu and came to fear for his designated successor, so sent Esarhaddon away to the western provinces.
This exile of Esarhaddon put Arda-Mulissu in a difficult position as he had reached the height of his popularity but was powerless to act with Esarhaddon away.
The army raised by Arda-Mulissu and Sharezer met Esarhaddon's forces at Hanigalbat, a city in the western parts of the empire.
Arda-Mulissu and Sharezer fled to the Kingdom of Urartu in the north, an old rival of Assyria, and Esarhaddon successfully took the throne six weeks after Sennacherib's death.
The eventual fate of Arda-Mulissu and Sharezer is unknown, but they continued to live as exiles in Urartu for several years.
The murder of Sennacherib, ruler of the mightiest empire on the planet at his time, was shocking to his contemporaries and was received with strong emotion and mixed feelings throughout Mesopotamia and the rest of the Ancient Near East.
In the Levant and in Babylonia the news were celebrated and proclaimed as divine punishment due to Sennacherib's brutal campaigns against these regions while in Assyria, the reaction was probably resentment and horror.
The event was recorded in numerous sources and is even mentioned in the Bible (; ), wherein Arda-Mulissu is called Adrammelech.
Zaabalawi () is a symbolic story written by the Egyptian writer Naguib Mahfouz, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988.
Some of Mahfouz's writing were influenced by philosophical literature which allowed him to raise some questions about the social and traditional restrictions and sometimes it rebel on the regulations, and that causes many troubles to the authors and to the philosophers generally.
In this period, my view of religion was characterized by some emancipation, but I emphasize that it was a liberal view and not an infidel.
Although I do not believe in the ideas and beliefs of Sufism as the Sufis believe, I found in reading their books and contemplated great mental and psychological comfort.
The search for Zaabalawi has been on a downward path from the highest forms of knowledge to the lowest, and most recently to the oldest: from science to art to Sufi intuition, and no one can say that complete disappointment was the fruit of this reverse journey.
All that there is that the presence of Zaabalawi has become at the conclusion of the trip by virtue of certain but not confirmed only to make sure with him cannot meet and access.
The narrator then mentioned the reason for his search for Sheikh Zaabalawi, and the reason is that he is suffering from a disease that has no medicine.
Asking People and shops in the neighborhoods about Zaabalawi, and it turns out that the majority of people have never heard of him.
And some started to talk about the good days that they have spent with Zaabalawi, and others made fun of him and they told him to go to see a doctor but the narrator responded that he already did, but that was useless.There was no result, and the narrator returned to his house with no hope.
And perhaps spend days and months looking for him to no avail, Sheikh painted a map of the place in the smallest details and Present it to the narrator to make it easier for him to search for Zaabalawi.
The narrator continues his search from a shop to a neighborhood to a mosque until he was told to go to a calligrapher named Hassanein residing in Umm Ghulam.
Indeed, the narrator went to the calligrapher shop and found Hassanein surrounded by paintings engraved the name of God in the middle of a painting.
The narrator asked him about Zaabalawi and Hassanein replied that it was difficult to meet, because he appears without a date and cuts off suddenly.
And ended his speech by leading the narrator to a person called Wannis Al-Damanhouri who spends his time in a bar inside a hotel and he may know where Zaabalawi is.The narrator went to the bar to find Al Haj Wannis sitting at a table alone drinking wine.
The narrator drank the first and second cup and he forgot why he came, by finishing the fourth cup he fell in a deep sleep.
Here the story ends and the narrator is still looking for Zaabalawi and whenever he feels disappointed he remembers his sickness and he thinks of Zaabalawi to continue his search for him.
One of the most important themes that the story provides is the theme of quest, as we see from the beginning of the story, the narrator has no direct clear destination that has a meaning, or the thing that he is searching for really exists.
But instead he is in a searching loop that will never end and that was causing him more sickness that the only thing that could cure it is meeting Sheikh Zaabalawi and then the searching journey will end.
Because the sickness that the narrator suffers from is a psychological and even spiritual sickness not a physical one, we saw that the narrator was searching alone, with no company to ease his pressure and that might refer to the Islamic religion because the believer of Allah does not have a priest to confess to.
Our narrator's search throughout Cairo, besides moving from West to East, as evidenced in the dress of those whom he meets, is also a movement towards timelessness, evanescence, the eternal now.
While he is moving closer to the lived religious experience, the decay of the surroundings, and the fact that this mere prologue to a man is engaged in commerce surrounding what should be a non-commercial activity, tells us that we are still far removed from the mystical experience.
The other shopkeepers in the area only reinforce this reading, as they have either not heard of Zaabalawi or they openly make fun of him.
That is, the Sharia, Hadith, and other interpretations of the Qur'an and the Prophet's life have been around since the inception of Islam.
The local magistrate of the district is the narrator's next stop, and he is presented with a well drawn-out plan for canvassing the entire area.
However, we know that we are getting closer to the truth, because this man, at least, knows that Zaabalawi is still alive.
The prayer of supplication which the Sheikh offers is the first time any one of our narrator's erstwhile helpers has mentioned God.
In mentioning the dervishes, the Sheikh has introduced one of the great strands of Sufism, and alluded to Hadhra, one of the five major Sufi practices.
But again, the Sheikh is a political leader, a field hardly concerned with the momentary, but rather interested in creating institutions which will last.
A calligrapher is the next stop for the narrator, and here we move closer to the capture of the present moment.
The narrator interrupts him at his easel, only to find that Zaabalawi has not been to see him in a long time.
We could take Schopenhauer's approach, where music is the most pure expression of the Universal Will, and it analogously reflects, within its harmony, melodies, rhythm and meter, the structure of the physical world.
This will serve to illustrate the great power of music, but it does not address why Mahfouz places it here, near the core of our narrator's experience.
Ernst Roth, the great music publisher, offers an explanation as to why this is so: The musical score, or whatever the graphic representation of music may be called, does not constitute the work in the same simple sense as a canvas or a printed page constitutes a visual or literary work.
Neither can the real meaning be laid down once and for all, as in the other arts; it must be guessed at or sensed.
(Preface) This recognition of the presentness of music, of the existence of music only in the now, is Mahfouz's first use of the mystical state.
When you think on it, you are not thinking on music, but only on your experience of it, your memory of it.
We have moved from law to commerce to politics to calligraphy to music, and at every step we have come closer to the evanescent, and the ineffable.
Most Muslims who devoted their major efforts to developing the spiritual dimensions of the human person came to be known as Sufis.
A Sufi is someone who is striving to or has mastered his or her ego and attained a higher state of consciousness and union with the Godhead.
The goal of the Sufi Path is for the drop of water (the individual self) to merge with the Ocean of Being from whence it came.
This summarizes the Sufi quest of not just seeking a union with the Divine Being, but the realization of the truth that the mystic is one with the Divine.
According to Hujwiri, the first Sufi in India, he who is purified by love is pure, and he who is absorbed in the Beloved and has abandoned all else is a Sufi.
Attack on fossilized religious institutions; only certain figures such as artists (musicians, the calligrapher) and the drunk seem to be in contact with the truth symbolized by Zaabalawi.
An allegory hinting at the possible human significance of religion and its supposedly transcendental symbols; an attempt to redefine God in human, social, and earthly terms.
In Mahfouz's vision those who only seek personal gain and profit are distanced from the truth and genuine fulfillment; the happiness of the individual can only come through social engagement and contact with others, the merging of the self into a harmonious human collectivity.
Likewise, the unnamed protagonist's desperate quest for Sheikh Zaabalawi is an allegory of modern man's futile search for God within a corrupt world where humanity has surrendered to materialism long ago.
Indeed, the scene depicting the protagonist's inquiry of the bookseller in front of the Birgawi Residence where Zaabalawi once lived confirmed El-Enany's idea in that the deserted building now looks like a wasteland, occupied only by heaps of rubbish.
Orhan Pamuk A Strangeness In My Mind; It is an urban novel chronicling the life and love story of an Istanbul street vendor named Mevlut Karataş.
The underlying theme in the novel, that is the process of Istanbul’s transformation from a stagnated city into a booming metropolis, unfolds parallel to the changes taking place in the protagonist’s life.
Within this period the protagonist, his relatives, and acquaintances witness and narrate the socio-political, cultural, economic, and environmental changes Istanbul undergoes from multiple perspectives.
Mevlut comes to Istanbul at the age of twelve to accompany his father who has already migrated to the metropolis from a Central Anatolian village.
Turkish people’s general motive for internal migration at those times was to attain various job opportunities available in the city and earn money that would provide the rest of the family with a decent living either in a rural town or in a poor quarter of the city.
The objectives initially include obtaining a well-paid job or investing in a promisingly profitable city commerce that would lead to property ownership, and quick access to all the social facilities like education for the children.
Thus, following the same path of his fellow immigrant workers, Mevlut’s father settles in a desolate slum which is located quite far from the city centre.
Until Mevlut drops out of high school education, his daily routine consists of going to the school during day time and helping his father selling boza-a.
After the dream of climbing the social ladder through getting a proper education ends, Mevlut falls in love with a girl with stunning dark eyes at a wedding, and spends three years writing love letters to the girl who is living in a neighbouring village close to his.
Mevlut's naive, shy, and compassionate nature prevents him from rejecting his wife and thus he accepts the fate imposed on him.

One such inscription details Sennacherib giving him a house in the city of Assur, which at this point was no longer the capital of Assyria but still remained an important ceremonial center.
The fact that Ashur-ili-muballissu is not mentioned when Esarhaddon is designated as crown prince in 684 BC and Sennacherib's third son Arda-Mulissu is angered at being passed over suggests that Ashur-ili-muballissu was either dead by then or ineligible for the kingship.

Sócrates García (Cantinflas) is a primary school teacher who is assigned by the principal of the school he works in to administer another school located in the town of El Romeral, as he is the only teacher from that school who is single.
There is also Doña Hortensia (Marga López), who asks Sócrates to address the people a few words, but while he gave his speech the floor of the platform he was in collapses.
First, Sócrates asks Hortensia for some photos; she, without knowing his intentions, brings them, and then Sócrates tells her that the photos are for his wallet.
Then, Sócrates takes his students to a field trip and, despite the apparent inexperience of Sócrates to camp (despite wearing a boy scout uniform), manages to make his students more loyal to him, to the point that they to dismantle the canteen that was put in place of the school, unleashing a fight in which Sócrates finally rescues his students.
A frustrated Sócrates at first decides to leave the town, but the love of Hortensia and the loyalty of his students make him change his mind.
The announcement that the Governor of the state (Arturo de Córdova) will make a visit to the town represents a salvation for Sócrates and the townspeople themselves.
Although Don Margarito and his henchmen kidnap Sócrates to force the people to remain silent, his students manage to rescue him after convincing Felipe to reveal his whereabouts (as Felipe's father is one of Don Margarito's henchmen), in a small hut, and Sócrates gives the Governor documents that reveal the dirty maneuvers that Don Margarito made with the municipal president to illegally take land from peasants.
After discovering the fraud that was being done to the peasants, Sócrates asks the Governor to build a decent school; the Governor grants the request.
The film ends in front of the new school, with Sócrates and Hortensia walking together as the students sing to them.

Unlike her brothers Arda-Mulissu and Sharezer (who were killed by Esarhaddon after they had murdered their father), Shadittu retained an important position at the royal court (being mentioned at the capital of Nineveh as late as 672 BC, several years into Esarhaddon's reign) even after the death of Sennacherib and protective rituals were carried out by the priests on her behalf.
It is possible that this continued prominence was due to Shadittu possibly being the daughter of Naqi'a (Esarhaddon's mother), which many of Sennacherib's other children weren't.
Kemmers undertook her undergraduate degree in archaeology in 1996 at the University of Amsterdam, and following her MA moved to Radboud University Nijmegen in 2000 to work on her PhD.

While pursuing her graduate degree at MIT, Shanechi became interested in decoding the brain, the idea of reading out the original meaning from brain signals.
She developed an algorithm to determine where a monkey wanted to point the cursor on a screen based on the animal's brain activity.
She later improved upon her work by including high-rate decoding, meaning the decoding happened over a few milliseconds, rather than every 100 milliseconds, which is the standard for traditional methods.
In 2013 she developed a brain decoding method that could help automatically control the amount of anesthesia that is to be administered to a patient.
Her team, which included colleagues from Massachusetts General Hospital and Massachusetts Institute of Technology was able to control the depth of the medically-induced coma in rodents automatically based on their brain activity.
Using the data about the mood and the brain activity, Shanechi's lab was able to match the two together and decipher which brain activity was related to which mood.
In the future, Shanechi wants to develop this technique in order to stimulate the brain automatically when a change in mood is detected.

Heinrich von Ramstein (* before 1230; † 22 July 1318) was abbot of the benedictine Abbey of Saint Gall from 1301 until 1318.
It is not recorded whether Heinrich von Ramstein was related to his predecessor Rumo von Ramstein or the abbot of Reichenau Abbey, Albrecht von Ramstein.
He was probably one of four contemporary Heinrichs who lived among the members of the convent who were eligible to vote in 1270.
The election is regarded as ambivalent, since he was at odds with his opponent Ulrich von Trauchburg and had to settle the dispute with compensational income.
The protests and wishes of Conventuals were so great that he had to name his brother Diethelm as guardian of the abbey for three years.
The death of the king did not solve the issue, as King Henry VII did not cater to Abbot Heinrich's wishes.
A settlement of the pledge sum of 1300 Mark, which was agreed upon with Adolf of Nassau was reached on 22 April 1311.
The city and the abbey fell victim to a devastating fire on 13 October 1314, prompting Heinrich to task Provost Heinrich von Lupfen and the citizen Konrad Kuchimeister with the reconstruction of the abbey.
Under the Armed Career Criminal Act, defendants with three or more violent felonies can face higher sentences when subsequently convicted of a federal firearms-related offense.
This case was notable because it was the first Supreme Court case heard by Brett Kavanaugh following his appointment to the Supreme Court, and because of the 'unusual' distribution of votes, with Stephen Breyer siding with the more conservative wing of the Court to uphold the 11th circuit's ruling.
The Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA), a federal law passed in 1984, requires a mandatory 15-year sentence to firearms defendants convicted of three or more violent felonies.
In 2015, Florida man Denard Stokeling, who had 3 previous convictions for home invasion, kidnapping, and robbery, was arrested during the investigation of a robbery at a Miami Beach restaurant.
After Stokeling pled guilty to the firearms charge, prosecutors argued that he should be sentenced under the provisions of the Armed Career Criminal Act, which imposed a mandatory 15-year sentence due to his previous 3 convictions.
Stokeling appealed his sentencing under the ACCA, arguing that his previous robbery conviction -- an incident in which Stokeling snatched a necklace from a victim -- did not qualify as a 'violent' felony.
Specifically, his argument was that the Florida robbery statute did not meet the elements of a violent felony under the ACCA since he could have been convicted even without evidence that he used violent force to overcome his victim's resistance, under the terms of the law.
Stokeling appealed his sentence to the Southern District of Florida Court, which evaluated whether the specific facts and circumstances of Stokeling's prior necklace-snatching conviction was sufficient to meet the requirements of the ACCA.
The District Court held that Stokeling's prior robbery conviction did not meet the requirements and reduced his mandatory minimum sentence by half.
Stokeling appealed his case to the Supreme Court in August 2017 and the Supreme Court granted his writ of certiorari in April 2018.
Stokeling was represented by Brenda Bryn of the Office of the Federal Public Defender of the Southern District Court of Florida.
The Supreme Court upheld the Eleventh Circuit's ruling In a 5-4 decision, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that the Florida statute fit within the guideline set by past Supreme Court precedent and the current interpretation of the Armed Career Criminal Act.
Thomas's opinion was heavily grounded in common law jurisprudence and legislative history, and noted that between 31 and 46 states had statutes that mirrored Florida's and that Congress had intended to accommodate rather than invalidate these statutes.
In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted that Congress did not explicitly adopt the common law definition for robbery, and that the interpretation adopted by the majority would encompass too broad a range of crimes.
Anna Isabel Fox (1890 – 1974), later Anna F. Smith, was an American educator and a Christian missionary in the Philippines.
Fox served in the Philippines for eight years, from 1918 to 1927, as founder and first principal of a women's Bible school and dormitory in Cagayan province.
Her sisters Florence Lesley Fox, a nurse, and Grace Evelyn Fox, an educator, followed her into mission work in the Philippines, in 1920 and 1923 respectively.
Today the Fox sisters are remembered as noted figures in the history of the United Church of Christ of the Philippines in Cagayan de Oro.

The Monastery of Panagia Molyvdoskepastos () is a male Greek Orthodox monastery at Molyvdoskepastos, near Konitsa, Epirus, in North Western Greece.
It is located just a few hundred meters from the Greek–Albanian border and 400 meters from the confluence of the Aoos and the Sarantaporos rivers, at the foot of mount Meropi-Nemertsika.
Its unique setting together with its long history makes this monasterial complex one of the most prestigious monuments in the wider region of Epirus and a point of reference for Greek history.
According to an inscription of 1561, the monastery was founded in the 7th century by Emperor Constantine Pogonatos (), to whom the establishment of the Archbishopric of Pogoniani is also attributed.
Furthermore, the earliest remains in the area date to no earlier than the 11th century (ruined church of St. Demetrios), and the catholicon of the monastery dates to the 13th/14th century.
Indicatively, in the 14th century a school for scribes was set up in which priest-teachers taught the art of transcription of manuscripts to monks and lay people.
Outside its walls, to the northwest, there was a large commercial center the so called, even today, Pazari area, which assisted the monastery’s finances.
In 1988 the monastery was manned once more by the present day brotherhood with the encouragement and guidance of the recently canonized Saint Paisios the Athonite and the blessings of the late Metropolitan Sebastianos.
The catholicon of the monastery features a unique architectural style which evolved with the gradual increase of the Monastery’s needs, both liturgical and practical.
The existing frescoes of the catholicon are in some places in three successive layers: one Byzantine and two post – Byzantine.
Nowadays both layers, although overlapping, can be discerned in the lower parts of the western wing of the cross- vaulted section.
There are historical references to a number of thefts of the icon as well as its subsequent return to the monastery.

On July 30, 2019, California governor Gavin Newsom signed a law, effective immediately, requiring that all presidential candidates release five years of tax returns in order to be eligible for the state primary.
In August 2019, Trump sued the State of California, seeking to block implementation of the law (SB 27), asserting that the law is unconstitutional.
After Governor Newsom signed the bill, the Republican state committee met in emergency session to set up an alternative convention in order to give him all their delegates should the secretary of state bar him because of his refusal to submit his taxes.
To qualify for ballot access, a candidate must be determined by the Secretary of State to be a generally-recognized candidate, or by circulating nomination papers.
Among the challengers to President Trump who have submitted their applications with enough qualifications are New York advertising executive Robert Ardini and Manhattan Beach attorney Matthew Matern.

Mamadou Traoré (born May 11, 1973), known as The Bare-Handed Killer, is a Senegalese-born French serial rapist and murderer, responsible for assaulting at least six women, killing two of them, between April and October 1996.
Traoré was born on May 11, 1973 in Joal-Fadiouth, Senegal, the son of Sidiki Traoré, a Bambara man who moved to Paris to work as a railway worker, and Anna Faye, a Serer woman who had practised voodoo rituals on Mamadou since his birth.
When he was three years old, he joined his father in France, followed by his mother and brother, Ousseynou, a year later.
Mamadou spent his childhood in Paris, where his two sisters were born in 1978 and 1980.His schooling was rather disturbed: at the kindergarten in Choisy, he was sometimes violent and aggressive (biting his teacher), and at others very kind.
In 1986, his parents separated, and Mamadou blamed the divorce on his father, whom he accused of spending all the money on the home.
His father then got acquianted with a Mr. Yobo, whom Mamadou considered a usurper.Soon after, Traoré got involved in street crime.
He sold clothes with a cousin, and even had plans of marrying an Ivorian woman, from whom he contracted HIV.In 1994, he returned to France to do his military service, during which he learned that he had HIV, and then tried to reform himself.
On March 12, 1996, his mother, who had had two children from her new companion (a boy and a girl), kicked him out the house for smoking hashish.
He was rampant in area of Paris, particularly in the 12th and 13th arrondissements, striking his victims so violently that they no longer remembered their aggressor, remaining temporarily amnesiac and, moreover, disfigured.
He hit her twice to steal her bag, and then dragged her to the entrance hall of a building, close to where she lived.
He wanted to rob a house in the middle of the night, and managed to find one window which was open.
On the morning of August 25, around 5 PM, 45-year-old Nelly Bertrand was walking her dog before going to work at the Austerlitz station.
Suddenly, she was attacked by Traoré, whom struck her many times, dragging her into a nearby building's elevator and then down the stairs until he reached the front door of the top floor.
On the morning of October 22, around 4 PM, 20-year-old Marie-Astrid Clair, a modern literature student at the Sorbonne, was attacked by Traoré, whom had been stalking her, while she was dialing the doorway code to her home.
He dragged Laurence 125 meters away to the isolated exit area of the service staircase, where he continued hitting Eymieux, as well as molesting her.
Around 8 PM on the day of the crime, Annie, a neighbor who had just parked her car, had called out Mamadou, driving him out of the car park.
This extreme violence made the investigators think that he had used a bat, while in reality, he had used only his bare hands.
Philippe Bilger was the General Counsel, Philippe Lemaire was the lawyer of the fourth victim, Marie-Astrid Clair, and François Honnorat acted as Traoré's defense lawyer.
It is supposed that he is currently incarcerated at a psychiatric hospital rather in prison, because of his violent behavior towards fellow inmates and prison guards.
Susan Mailer (born August 28, 1949) is an American psychoanalyst, writer, and academic who has lived in Chile since the 1980s.
In 1951, her parents Norman Mailer and Beatrice Silverman divorced, and her mother moved to Mexico with her future husband Salvador.
Part of her decision to become a psychoanalyst stems from her early interest in narrative and the complexities of character exemplified by literary works introduced to her by her father.
She ultimately finds a kinship with her father through a shared search for human understanding: she as a psychoanalyst and he as a novelist.
Inspired by a vignette she wrote in 2013, Mailer decided to write the memoir from a daughter's perspective of her father — a view that no other book about Norman Mailer has taken.
Norman Mailer died in 2007, an event that Susan Mailer says was necessary for her to begin putting her relationship with him in perspective and to pick up the writer's pen.
In the same interview, Mailer discusses that while her father was still alive, the act of writing was too intimidating, but after his passing, she discovered she enjoyed uncovering the inner tapestry of her life in writing.
Mailer recounts the more intense and painful moments with her father and his public life, but also depicts the more private and personal details of their relationship .
She ultimately had to work through a largely negative view of her father who had come to sympathize with many of her father's opponents, particularly women.
Mailer credits her own 10-year clinical analysis for a deeper understanding about her relationship with her parents that led to the compassionate approach of her memoir.
She is a member of various professional associations, like the International Psychoanalytic Association and the International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy.

As an editor and translator, she always chose works by deeply engaged authors such as Kenji Miyazawa, Natsume Sōseki, Osamu Dazai and Toson Shimazaki.
Montse Watkins Pedra was born in the neighborhood of La Salut (Gràcia district, Barcelona) on August 27, 1955, to Esteban Watkins Lafuente and María Teresa Pedra Gil.
There, Watkins went to a nun’s school (Dominican Sisters of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin), where she showed herself to be quite bright and to have a gift for languages.
For three years, she studied Japanese in the prestigious Saint Joseph’s Institute of Japanese Studies in Roppongi (Tokyo), run by Franciscan friars, while living in an apartment in Tokyo’s Itabashi municipality.
Along with her interest in Japanese language and culture, she now developed a concern for the conditions of the Latin American workers (mostly of Japanese ancestry) established in Japan from 1989 on, as a result of changes in this country’s migration policies.
Watkins wrote two key monographs about the arrival and presence of Latin Americans in Japan, a research field in which she is considered a pioneer as well.
In 1994 she founded Luna Books publishing house, where she published her own translations and those of other experts, journalistic essays and fiction works.
She wrote two journalistic essays about Latin Americans in that country, two collections of stories and a compilation of traditional legends; she translated eleven literary works, and published a collection of stories by Latino authors living in Japan.

Metal swarf, also known as chips or by other process-specific names (such as turnings, filings, or shavings), are pieces of metal that are the debris or waste resulting from machining or similar subtractive (material-removing) manufacturing processes.
Metal swarf can be small particles (such as the gritty swarf from grinding metal) or long, stringy tendrils (such as the springy chips from turning tough metals).
Chips can be extremely sharp, and this creates a safety problem, as they can cause serious injuries if not handled correctly.
those of brass or bronze), allows them to disperse widely by piggy-backing on soft materials and also to penetrate the skin as deep splinters.
Similarly, it is also standard training for machinists, and usually a standing workplace rule, to minimize or entirely avoid handling swarf by blowing chips away with compressed air, but this practice is considered burdensome or impractical by some machinists - the rule of thumb is to reduce the potential hazard by trying to eliminate the problem as far as reasonably practicable.
Alternatives to blowing chips away include vacuuming them away with an industrial vacuum (shop vacuum); gently washing them away with a coolant hose discharging at typical garden-hose pressures; or preventing their generation in the first place (for example, forming threads instead of cutting them).
It is not uncommon for chips flying off the cutter to be ejected with great force and to fly several metres.
These flying chips present a hazard that is deflected with safety glasses, face shields, and other personal protective equipment, as well as the sheet-metal enclosures (and polycarbonate windows) that surround most commercial computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools.
Caution should be exercised to avoid ignition sources when handling or storing swarf in loose form, especially swarf of pure magnesium, magnesium alloy, pure titanium, titanium alloy, iron, and non-stainless steel.
Some common engineering materials such as beryllium are hazardous when finely divided and appropriate measures should be taken to prevent exposure.
Metal swarf can usually be recycled, and this is the preferred method of disposal due to the environmental concerns regarding potential contamination with cutting fluid or tramp oil.
The ideal way to remove these liquids is by the use of a centrifuge which will separate the fluids from the metal, allowing both to be reclaimed and prepared for further treatment.

The 1981 League of Ireland Cup Final was the final match of the 1980–81 League of Ireland Cup, a knock-out association football competition played annually by clubs affiliated with the League of Ireland.
It was contested by Dundalk and Galway Rovers, and took place across two legs – with the first leg being played on 1 January 1981 at Terryland Park in Galway, and the second leg being played on 8 January 1981 at Oriel Park in Dundalk.
Galway elected to continue with the injured player in goals, and Dundalk subsequently failed to seriously challenge him, particularly as they then lost forward Mick Fairclough to injury a minute later.
But, despite the injury to Lally, they appeared happy to settle for the draw, which made them favourites going into the second leg.
His opposite number, Richie Blackmore, meanwhile, had little to do – as Galway's players were forced into defending on the edge of their own penalty area.
In the subsequent penalty shoot-out Dundalk missed two of their five penalties, while Galway missed two of their first four, leaving Lally to take their final kick to send the shoot-out to sudden-death.

The ICFTU European Regional Organisation (ERO) was a regional trade union confederation, bringing together national federations of trade unions in Europe.
The confederation was established in April 1950 at a conference in Brussels, held on the initiative of the recently-formed International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU).
It was the first regional organisation established by the ICFTU, and was a new initiative, as the World Federation of Trade Unions and International Federation of Trade Unions had never set up regional bodies.
The organisation aimed to represent European trade unions in all regional matters, but in particular in relation to the expected establishment of a European Community.
The Committee of the Twenty-One was established in 1952, to liaise with the European Coal and Steel Community, and this was succeeded by the European Trade Union Secretariat (ETUS), representing trade union federations in the European Economic Community nations.
The ERO became marginalised, and after its general secretary, Walter Schevenels, died in 1966, its affiliates discussed a reorganisation, whereby the ETUS and the EFTA-TUC would affiliate to the ERO, and the ETUS general secretary would become the secretary of the ERO.
The proposal was rejected, and instead a plan was drawn up for the ERO to act as a liaison group between the ETUS and EFTA-TUC.

Natural rubber, which is harvested from a rubber tree, hevea brasiliensis is the base for many rubber compounds made using a two roll rubber mill.
In the 1830s, Edwin Chaffee developed a technology similar to the two roll rubber mills that are used in rubber production.
Chaffee then created the two roll rubber mill which shears and mixes the rubber by having two rolls rotate in opposite directions, at different speeds.
To produce the rubber used in tires, hoses, shoes and many other applications, the rubber first has to be created using a two roll rubber mill.
The opposing rotation directions and different speeds produces a combined shear and compression force on the material being mixed on the mill.
With open roll rubber mills, the operator may also be in charge of adding ingredients to the rubber while it is being mixed on the mill.
To help keep the rubber compound cool, often one of the rolls is hollow and can be hooked up to a cooling water line which then allows cool water to flow through the roll, cooling the metal roll and therefore the rubber.
While the process of operating a rubber mill sounds simple enough, it is very dangerous and many precautions are added to ensure the safety of the operator.
Because the two rolls of the mill are rolling inwards, it is easy for an individual’s hand to get sucked into the mill.
Safety features include emergency stop bars located 40” vertically above the rolls, which can be pulled at any time to stop the rolling of the mill.
Pressure sensitive body bars are also located at knee height so that the machine can be stopped by the operator tapping the bar with their knee.
There is also normally a safety operator, in addition to the main operator that is also trained to use the rubber mill and is trained on what to do in the case of an emergency situation.
Rubber compounding means incorporating rubber ingredients into a rubber mixture so it is evenly dispersed, then the rubber mixture is called a rubber compound.
This allows for better incorporation of materials, which leads to the mixing component, when the other materials for a compound are added.
The polymer can be a number of things, including natural rubber, such as of SMR CV, SMR 20, SMR L or a variety of synthetic rubbers such as nitrile(NBR) , ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), butyl, polycholorprene (CR), Polyisoprene (IR) and others.
The raw rubber after being masticated, in which normally for natural rubber, other ingredients needed to be compounded into the raw polymer either on a mixing Banbury Kneader or other rubber mixing machine then pass to two roll mill for dispersion and sheeting out for rubber compound that is suitable for molding dimension.
Rubbing compounding also can be mixed on two roll mill by sequentially adding the ingredient and fold, cut and roll the rubber to mix.
Ingredients added to make a rubber compound include oils, fillers and accelerator, which usually includes sulfur or peroxide, and may also include a metal oxide either as activator such as zinc oxide, in some cases as filler and also as activator.

These bibles signalled a significant change in the organization and structure of medieval bibles and were the template upon which the structure of the modern bible is based.
Up to the beginning of the 13th century there was no single structure for the order of the biblical books, and it was often presented in 4 volumes.
The Paris Bible was unique for its time, it was a pandect (complete single volume) with a uniform order, which is similar to the order of the modern Bible used today.
Between 1230 and 1280 AD this bible was copied more than frequently and spread more widely across Europe than any other copy of the Bible.
Paris Bible is the name given to bibles produced by scribes mainly in Paris and areas of Northern France although examples are believed to have originated in England and Italy.
However, scholars caution that the term is used too broadly as it is often confused with the ‘pocket bible’ which is applied to bibles produced from the 12th century onwards.
whilst the Paris Bible often shared this characteristic, the pocket bibles did not conform to the other features commonly present in the Paris Bible which was also produced in larger sizes, which marks it as not interchangeable with the term pocket bible.
However, this bible was different to its counterparts as it was often smaller than bibles used previously, making it easier to hold and carry, this led to it also being known as the portable bible.
Each pandect contained the apocryphal books, 64 prologues mostly based on the commentaries of Jerome and an index of the interpretations of Hebrew names (IHN).
This set them apart from the traditional breviary’s and psalters which were usually commissioned by the owner, with a distinct design, including illustrations which reflected their family history and status.
Whilst the bibles were still carefully copied and complete with decorated or historiated initials and pen flourishes in coloured ink, they were more aesthetically uniform.
However, their portability made them popular with students of theology and monks from the orders of the Dominican and Franciscan monasteries.
Examples of known Paris Bibles have been measured in the range of 50cm x 30 cm to 23cm x 16cm, although the latter is a very rare example.
This was achieved by using calf skin produced north of the Alps which was able to be processed on both sides, whilst retaining its white colouring and quality, which is a signature of most Paris Bibles.
It was impossible to detect the hair side from the flesh side on this vellum, making it an ideal parchment for the fine writing required on these smaller bibles.
The reduction in thickness of the vellum also required bookbinders to introduce senions (no link need an explanation) rather than quarternions so that leaves did not come loose from the bound spine due to them being so thin.
Due to vast number of leaves in these larger codices tracking systems had to be introduced to allow the bookbinder and illustrators to keep track of the leaves in a quire.
The length of the text was reduced through the use of common abbreviations, and the font size was reduced, often to 1 millimeter.
A further difference introduced in the Paris Bible is the use of common running headers, using alternating red and blue ink to aid readers and chapter numbers.
Scholars have disputed the fact that all Paris Bibles were single volume manuscripts as several two volume bibles are still in existence.
Several leading Book Historians have suggested that where there is evidence of highly decorated pages mid-way through a one volume bible it is evidence of a two-volume manuscript being rebound at a later date as one volume.
Bibles produced before 1230 were designed for medieval monks, priests and those members of the laity who were capable of reading Latin.
However, they did not engage with its content as a written text, they mainly heard it being proclaimed to them during the Mass.
The cycle of the Church and Orders of the differing monasteries had the order of reading designated to them annually, according to the liturgical canon.
The founding of a flurry of universities in the thirteenth century can be regarded as one of the major changes which determined how the Bible would change.
It was these changes which led to the desire to rearrange the format of the Bible in order that students, masters and preachers could retrieve information effectively.
Adding reading aids like running headers and chapter numbers allowed readers to find the Books of the Bible and essential text.

À peu près () is the debut studio album by French singer Pomme, released on October 6, 2017 through Polydor Records.
Marie-Geneviève Navarre (1737 – 1795) was a French portrait artist and miniaturist who created artwork in pastels and oils, though she is best known for her pastels.
Pastel portraiture became popular in France with the arrival of Rosalba Carriera from Venice, an artist of the Italian Rococo who was in great demand in Paris for her portraits in 1720 and 1721.
In the mid-18th century, it was problematic for female artists to exhibit their work; the prestigious Académie Royale seldom admitted work created by women.
Therefore, many women sought exhibition opportunities at the Académie de Saint-Luc, which was more welcoming, counting 130 women among its 4,500 artist-members.
Navarre was able to exhibit her paintings and drawings on three occasions at the Académie, and twice more at the Hotel d’Aligre in the Rue St. Honoré in Paris.
Navarre to make as good a Copy from it as She possibly could—with a view to do her Service here—& I wd remit her 5 Louis.

Los Pynandi World Cup Stadium (Spanish: Estadio Mundialista Los Pynandi), or simply Los Pynandi Stadium, is a beach soccer stadium in Luque, Gran Asunción, Paraguay.
It is located on the grounds of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee and was purpose-built to be the host venue of the 2019 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.
Paraguay's bid to host the 2019 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup was all but confirmed as successful on 1 October 2018.
The Paraguayan Football Association (APF) put the stadium's construction contract out to tender on 15 October which ultimately went to the consortium of Cima-Ritter.
The constructors subsequently broke ground on the designated greenfield host site, on land belonging to the Paraguayan Olympic Committee, in early January 2019, with the full works scheduled to last for seven months.
By mid-April, all foundations had been laid, structural columns were in place and the main stand was partially complete, with other stands beginning to be raised; work was described as being on schedule.
On 16 July, the site was visited by APF president, Robert Harrison and a selection of FIFA delegates who viewed the progress of works firsthand.
Its construction created around 200 jobs; the workforce and materials used were all nationally sourced, with the sand comprising the playing field sourced from the banks of the Paraguay River.
The arena, now completed, first hosted the Paraguayan national team for training on 6 September and then hosted the 2019 Copa Libertadores de Beach Soccer tournament from 14–21 September.
Alongside him was the president of Paraguay, Mario Abdo Benítez, CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez and APF president Robert Harrison, among others, who all made positive statements regarding the design and execution of the construction.
The stadium satisfies FIFA requirements for beach soccer venues: the main stand, the only roofed section, includes four changing rooms for players, two changing rooms for referees, a medical area, a press room, offices, a multipurpose space, an anti-doping room and VIP area.
Regarding access, the main stand houses an elevator designed for wheelchairs, meanwhile another stand features a special access ramp and an area adapted to accommodate the disabled; consideration has also been given to ambulance and fire access.
At the time of its construction, Ricardo Torres, president of the APF Beach Soccer Division claimed the stadium was the first and only beach soccer stadium of its kind in the world, being of concrete.
The arena is slated to host the 2019 South American Under-20 Championship as well as the beach soccer and beach volleyball events at the 2022 South American Beach Games in Asunción.

Qaleh Kharabeh (, also Romanized as Qal‘eh Kharābeh), is a fort, an archaeological site in the Gorgan Plain, in Golestan Province in northeastern Iran.
It lies one mile to the south of the Great Wall of Gorgan, which was a fortification built between the Caspian Sea and the Kopet Dag Mountains between 420 AD and 530s AD by the Sasanian Empire, on the northern edge of their empire.
The fort may have served as a barracks for soldiers defending the wall or may have been used by civilians, but its neat layout suggest it had a military origin.
A central crossroads was found with evidence of buildings on either sides of the roads, these being more easily discernable near the crossroads.
On the eastern side of the fort were rows of what appeared to be small enclosures; perhaps these were where gullies had been dug surrounding tents or other temporary buildings.
Other parts of the site had no discernible structures, apart from the remnants of the field divisions that pre-dated the fort.
Pottery found during excavations indicates that the fort was occupied for a relatively short period, during the earlier part of the wall's history.
This hinterland south of the wall probably receives sufficient natural precipitation for rain-fed agriculture to take place, and the canals which are a feature of the area were built, not for irrigation purposes, but to supply the needs of the military garrison and for the brick kilns that were used to manufacture the bricks of which the walls and the forts were built.
The pottery fragments found at the fort and other sites associated with the wall are giving researchers a clearer picture of the sequence of events associated with the wall and the settlements in the area.

The parliament of Aragon has passed 2 laws concerning the regulation of languages in the Spanish autonomous community of Aragón: the Language Act of Aragon of 2009, approved with a leftist majority in the parliament, and the Language Act of Aragon of 2013, approved with a rightist majority.
The law was repealed with the introduction of the new Law of the Languages of Aragon on the 24th of June, 2013.
Paradoxically, the development of the law caused extraordinary controversy both inside and outside of Aragon, even though the majority of the articles of the new legal text contain content substantially identical to that of the 2009 law, in some cases the articles being the exact same text.
The law only introduced light modifications to minor relative aspects of the regulation of place names (toponyms) and the use by citizens of their own historical languages to address Aragonese institutions.
In this way, the legal text of 2009 foresaw the possibility that the official denomination of the place names (toponyms) for predominant linguistic zones of Aragonese and Catalan could be in those languages, meanwhile the 2013 text covers this same possibility that the places are named in their proper historical languages, but in a bilingual system (in the proper historical language and Castellano).
With regards to the rights of speakers to address Aragonese institutions in their own historical languages, the law replaces the obligation of these speakers to answer to citizens in Aragonese with the option to instead use their own historical languages.
The new law modifies the official naming of Aragonese languages, changing with them the standardized section and institutional relevance of said languages stated in the 2009 law.
Furthermore, the title of the law indicates that these languages are formed by linguistic modalities with their proper identities, similarly to how the law substantially changed the linguistic zoning established by the previous law.
The chosen denominations for the proper and historical languages of Aragon in the 2013 law was the most controversial theme during the process of creating the law as well as after its passing.
Thus, the law eliminated the naming of Aragonese and Catalan, which the 2009 text contained in order to refer to these languages, and substituted them for circumlocutions: Aragonese language typical of the Pyrenean and pre-Pyrenean areas to refer to Aragonese, and Aragonese language typical of the Oriental area to refer to Catalan.
The new law suppresses the Superior Advisor of Aragonese Languages, the Aragonese Academy of the Catalan Language, and the Academy of the Aragonese Language, with them being replaced by the Aragonese Academy of the Language which with be accredited with the responsibility of normalization and consultation.
In relation to the names adopted by the law to refer to the proper languages and in a simultaneous manner to the parliamentary debate, it was rapidly popularized at a social and newspaper level the acronyms LAPAPYP or lapapyp, and LAPAO or lapao.
The Aragonese government signaled that these acronyms are not official and do not appear in the text of the law and the belief is held that they are invented by the opposition and by Catalan sectionists.
The new rule will continue to use the legal concept of linguistic zoning, or linguistic predominance, as an instrument to guarantee diversity and linguistic pluralism in the autonomous community.
This new law, similar to that of 2009, does not delineate zones, however it leaves the regulatory development and determination of each one of these two zones to the individual municipalities; this follows the precedent of the draft bill of the Languages Act of Aragon (2001), which outlines a concrete relationship between the municipalities of predominantly Aragonese and Catalan linguistics.
Additionally, they point out that the implementation of the previous law would have resulted in an outlay of up to 39 million euros that would be inadequate in a moment of economic crisis.
In addition to the parliamentary opposition in Aragon Courts, outside of the autonomous community, other political parties oppose this law, including the CDC, the Catalonian Majority, C's, the PP, ICV-EUiA, CUP, and the PSC, which registered a resolution in the Catalonian Parliament to urge the Aragonese government to step back on this issue.
The defenders of the law maintained that the term ‘lapao’ had been invented by its critics, and that the inhabitants of these areas give their dialects names.
The lack of reference to Castilian Spanish in the law has also been the target of criticism, as the previous version of the law referenced it.
In June 2013 the six associations tasked with the preservation, teaching, and spread of Aragonese signed a manifesto in favor of the Aragonese language and against the new language law.
Six other organizations (the Council for Spoken Aragonese, The Nogara Association, the Society of the Aragonese Language, the School of Aragonese Philosophy, and the League of Aragonese Speakers) participated in writing the manifesto but ultimately decided not to sign it.
For their part, the government of Spain declared that they respected the approval of the law and reaffirmed the ability of the autonomous communities to regulate their co-official languages.
Days before the law was scheduled to be approved, the government of Alcampell rejected the law and gave sole official status to Catalan.
The Provincial Government of Huesca also approved a resolution favoring the repeal of the Law of Languages for failing to recognize the trilingual nature of the community.
The Academy aimed to determine official troponins and names for the community, so as to standardize their use of the languages and dialects.

She attended the University of Texas at Austin, earning a bachelor's degree in 1948 and a master's in education in 1951.
In 1999, Long and her husband founded the Long Foundation, using proceeds from the sale of First State Bank, where Mr. Long had been the Chairman, to Norwest.
They pledged an endowment gift of $10 million to support the Institute of Latin American Studies at the University of Texas, which was renamed the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies.
They also pledged $20 million for the renovation of Austin’s Lester E. Palmer Auditorium, which was renamed the Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long Center for the Performing Arts.
The Longs also donated extensively to the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and the medical school was renamed the Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine after a $25 million gift in 2017.
Long was appointed to the National Council advising the National Endowment for the Arts in 2002, and she was awarded the National Humanities Medal in 2019.
The Snowman is a wordless children's picture book by English author Raymond Briggs, first published in 1978 by Hamish Hamilton in the United Kingdom, and published by Random House in the United States in November of the same year.
The book won a number of awards and was adapted into a animated television film in 1982 which is an annual fixture at Christmas.
He and the boy play with appliances, toys and other bric-a-brac in the house, all while keeping quiet enough not to wake his parents.
The snowman takes the boy outside and they begin to fly over the South Downs and watch the sun coming up from Brighton pier before returning home.
He refutes the idea that the book is a Christmas book, noting that it was only the animated adaptation that introduces this element.
In the United Kingdom, it was the runner-up for the Kate Greenaway Medal from the Library Association, recognising the year's best children's book illustration by a British writer.
The book was adapted into a half-hour animated television film in 1982, which debuted on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom on 26 December.
Such compounds can be categorized into three different types, depending on the structure (or equivalently the orbital in which the unpaired electron resides) and the energetic barrier to inversion.
The structure of such molecules has been determined by probing the nature of the orbital that the unpaired electron resides in using spectroscopy, as well as directly with X-ray methods.
While the trivalent triphenylmethyl radical, which was the first organic radical described, has been known for over 100 years, characterization of transient, persistent, or stable radicals of heavier tetrel compounds have been only accessible in recent years (from the 1960s to the present).
Such developments have only been made in recent years because these compounds tend to be highly reactive (with respect to reactions such as dimerization and radical chain reactions).
This class of molecules tends to be slightly more stable than the acyclic analogues as there is a stabilization through the delocalization of the unpaired electrons within the π-system.
Information about the structure of these trivalent tetrels has been determined by mainly EPR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, however the geometry of transient small molecules has been determined via resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization, transient UV absorption spectroscopy, and microwave spectroscopy by determining vibrational and rotational resonance frequencies.
Electron paramagnetic resonance has been paramount for the study of trivalent tetrels as the hyperfine coupling to the tetrel reveals the orbital in which the unpaired electron resides, and the orbital composition directly correlates to the structure of the molecule.
The isotropic component of the hyperfine coupling to the central tetrel scales proportionally with the spin density in the valence s orbital on that atom (see the Figure on the right).
By comparing this isotropic hyperfine coupling constant to the theoretical hyperfine splitting of an electron in a pure valence s orbital, one can calculate the percent of the unpaired spin density in the valence s orbital.
Similarly, the ratio of the anisotropic hyperfine coupling constant to the anisotropic hyperfine coupling of a single electron in a pure atomic p orbital reveals the percent of spin occupation in a valence p orbital.
The percent of spin occupation in the valence s orbital can be used to directly probe the structure of these molecules.
However, if there is 25% s orbital and 75% p orbital occupation, then the molecule will have a pyramidal Type A structure.
Values of greater than 25% s orbital contribution can also be found upon coordination of a tetrel to electronegative ligands (-OR, -F, -NR, -Cl).
There is also a correlation between the g-shift (∆g = g - g) and the geometry for series of compounds with ligands of similar electronegativities.
It has also been demonstrated using tris(trialkylsilyl)silyl radicals that the more bulky the ligands are, the more a planar structure will be favored, and the lower the hyperfine coupling constant will be.
It has been shown that there are two main factors that dictate whether a complex will be a Type A, B, or C structure.
This has been ascribed due to the pseudo Jahn–Teller effect, as the E-R anti-bonding orbitals (of RE•) can more significantly mix with the non-bonding SOMO (singly occupied molecular orbital) due to a more electropositive and diffuse central atom.
The barrier for inversion has been calculated at the NL-SCF/TZ2P level to be increasing for EH• C, Si, Ge, Sn at 0.0, 3.7, 3.8, 7.0 kcal/mol (the barrier for inversion of methyl radical is zero as it is most stable in a planar Type C structure).

The monument consists of a large stone brought from the Solovetsky Islands, the location of Solovki prison camp, part of the Soviet Gulag system.
The monument was founded in 1990 to honor victims of political reppression in the Soviet Union, as well as people who fought with this.
The monument is a 10,400 kg granite boulder taken 50 meters from the place of mass executions of the prisoners of the Solovki prison camp in the Solovetsky Islands in the White Sea.
The Saint Petersburg city administration would not help finance the memorial despite significant budget allocated to celebrate the tercentenary of the city.
The Columbia 34 Mark II is an American sailboat that was designed by William H. Tripp Jr. as a coastal cruising sailboat and first built in 1970.
The Columbia 34 Mark II's hull molds were later used to develop the Coronado 35 and also the Hughes 36 and the Hughes-Columbia 36.
The Columbia 34 Mark II was a new design built by Columbia Yachts in the United States as a follow-on to the unrelated Columbia 34.
It has a masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller or optional wheel and a fixed fin keel, or optional shoal draft keel or stub keel with a centerboard.
With the high freeboard, it isn’t as good up wind as some other designs, and it likes to be reefed early when going to windward.
Saint George and the Princess is a late 15th century tempera on panel painting, attributed to Antonio Cicognara and now in the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo in Brescia.

When the Mandalorian returns to the secret Mandalorian enclave, where he gets his damaged armor replaced by the Armorer, who will forge him a full cuirass from some of the Beskar reward.
Returning to the guild, the Mandalorian learns from Greef Karga that everyone in the guild had a tracking fob for the child.
He asks Greef if he has any idea what The Client has planned for the child, but Greef says he did not ask as it would be against the guild code, telling him he should forget about it.
Despite accepting a new assignment and starting to prepare his ship to depart, the Mandalorian has a change of heart at the last moment and instead turns back to infiltrate The Client's base of operations.
On the way back to his ship, the Mandalorian is ambushed by the other bounty hunters and Greef Carga, who demand he hand the Child over.
After he refuses, a firefight breaks out, leaving the Mandalorian heavily outnumbered and cornered, but warriors from the Mandalorian enclave unexpectedly arrive, attacking the bounty hunters and giving the Mandalorian cover to escape.
Ambushing the Mandalorian on his ship, Greef gives him one last chance to surrender, but Mando outsmarts him and shoots him, ejecting him from the spacecraft.
The Child's hand appears, reaching up to the console from below; the Mandalorian unscrews a control knob that he had berated the Child for playing with at the beginning of the episode, and drops it into its hand.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the episode holds an approval rating of 93% with an average rating of 8.37/10, based on 28 reviews.

The La Manada sex abuse case of Pozoblanco is the legal process being pursued against a group of men from Seville for their alleged sexual aggression of a 21-year-old girl in Pozoblanco, southern Spain, on 1 May 2016.
The case arose following the discovery of footage in a phone belonging to one of the alleged aggressors showing an unresponsive girl lying in a van being subjected to groping and mockery.
The case received media attention due to the fact that the defendants were the same aggressors of the La Manada gang rape which took place in Pamplona, Navarre, against a 18-year-old girl from Madrid two months later in July 2016, for which they were convicted and imprisoned.
The prosecutor petitioned a three-year prison term each for sex abuse, and four years more for offence to privacy, for recording and posting the footage.
Alfonso Jesús Cabezuelo, a military officer at the time of the events, was requested an additional 12 euros fine per day over two months for injuring the girl with a smack.
He allegedly asked the girl to give oral sex, which she refused, for which he slapped her and hit her on the arm, let her out in the street on her own, insulting her, as she reported.

The 2019 Furman Paladins men's soccer team represented Furman University during the 2019 NCAA Division I men's soccer season and the 2019 Southern Conference men's soccer season.
There, he pursued his interests in ecology by performing research under the supervision of Prof. Ted Brown on the environmental adaptation of cyanobacteria.
Upon completion of his degree, Carthew worked for two years as a research technician under the supervision of Prof. Jack Greenblatt at the Banting and Best Department of Medical Research in Toronto.
In this time, Carthew studied the biochemistry of eukaryotic gene transcription and decided to forgo a career in music for one in the biomedical sciences.
In 1982, Carthew began his PhD studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he performed his thesis research in the lab of Prof. Phillip A.
During his doctoral career, Carthew transformed the Electrophoresis Mobility Shift Assay or EMSA into an assay that could detect sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins from crude cell extracts.
Carthew and fellow graduate student Lewis Chodosh decided to adopt this mechanism for their joint publication in Cell, inspired by its use by Andrew Fire and Mark Samuels.
He showed that the RING finger domain protein Seven in Absentia is essential for multipotent eye cells to adopt an R7 photoreceptor cell fate.
In subsequent work, he showed that Seven in Absentia is activated by the Ras signal transduction pathway and acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase to rapidly degrade a transcriptional repressor of R7 cell differentiation.
In 2001, Carthew moved to Northwestern University and became a full professor in the Department of Molecular Biosciences, which is located on the Evanston campus.
Carthew served as leader of the Chromatin and Nuclear Dynamics Program in Northwestern’s Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center from 2012 to 2018.
The Carthew lab has continued pursuing the mechanisms and functions of the small non-coding RNA world that was first glimpsed through the lens of RNAi.
This pioneering work emerged at the same time as other groups around the world also began addressing physical aspects of morphogenesis.
Recent work in the Carthew lab has turned to dynamical features of gene expression as cells undergo lineage restriction during development.
This work has focused on the importance of time as a dimension in animal development and how gene regulatory networks are designed to provide temporal flexibility to development.
The Carthew group found that when developmental tempo is slowed down by limiting cell metabolism, gene repressors become redundant during lineage restiction, and the entire microRNA family is rendered non-essential for development in general.
Co-funded by a public-private partnership between the National Science Foundation and Simons Foundation, the Center for Quantitative Biology contains 12 Northwestern faculty members who are experts in developmental biology, applied mathematics, and pure mathematics.
This is done by supporting interdisciplinary research within the Center and stimulating interdisciplinary research and training activities across the United States.

Mary Magdalene is a c.1535-1540 oil on canvas painting by Giovanni Gerolamo Savoldo, now in the National Gallery, London, which acquired it in 1978.
It is generally considered to be the first of a series of four paintings of the subject, which was popular among private Venetian commissioners.
Cairnduff, Cairn Duff or Carn Duff is a roughly circular Bronze Age burial cairn, located on the lands of High Peacockbank Farm near the town of Stewarton in East Ayrshire, Scotland.
Cairnduff is situated on the summit of Cairnduff Hill at 114m and Smith points out its prominence and that it is visible from the possible moot hill or watchtower site near High Castleton in the vicinity of Lainshaw House.
Cairnduff is a type of tumulus, barrow or burial mound dating within the time period approximately 1300–700 BC, the Bronze Age.
The term cairn is typically given to such structures in Scotland and refers to a stone pile, built and not of natural origin.
The centre of this once circular cairn has been entirely removed due to the robbing of stones and only a low, roughly circular stoney bank around a 1.0m wide and a maximum of 0.7m high remains.
A significant quantity of rounded stones are still present and some are exposed to view in situ or spread around the site.
A few larger boulders, possibly perimeter stones are present and the indications are that the diameter of the cairn may originally have been over 20m.
One urn was around a foot in diameter and the other two were 5½ inches in diameter and six inches in height.
The cairn with its contents of three cinerary urns was exposed when trees were being removed by uprooting them from this small plantation in around 1810 to 1826.
The Black Hill Cairn is a Bronze Age burial site near Kirkfieldbank in the Clyde Valley and is set in a similar location to Cairnduff at the highest point in the area.
The Lainshaw Estate map of 1779 shows a Cairnduff Park and below it a Bonfire Park running down to the Annick Water.
The cairn itself is not named or indicated and only a small clump of trees is shown in its location, lying just outside the Lainshaw Estate on the lands of High Peacockbank.
Circa 1810 or 1826 Mr John Deans of Peacock Bank (sic) decided to extract some small trees from his plantation on Carnduff Brae when he exposed three urns or beakers that contained bones.
The stones would have had to be collected and carried to the site, probably from the river as many are rounded and river worn.
No detailed description of the urns survives other than some details of the size and their present location is not recorded.
The urns contained bones and relics and these vessels were found enclosed in small excavations that were close to the original ground level.
The field name 'Bonfire Park' suggests that the cairn, located at the highest point of ground overlooking Stewarton, may have been the site of traditional bonfires, such as those related to Halloween.
The typical burial ritual of the time involved the corpse being laid under a funeral pyre and burnt, together with any artefacts.
Once cremated the surviving bones were carefully separated from the ashes and placed inside an urn that was inverted and buried in a pit.
A naval aviator and communications engineer, he was at the forefront of the Marine Corps' use of radar for early warning and fighter direction.
He was one of the driving forces behind the Marine Corps' establishment of an air warning program and served as the first commanding officer of the 1st Marine Air Warning Group (1st MAWG).
After the war, Colonel Bayler served as the Commander of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing and Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, California.
Born 8 April 1905, in Lebanon, Pennsylvania Walter Bayler graduated from Lebanon High School in June 1923 and was selected to attend the United States Naval Academy.
Upon graduation from the Naval Academy he was commissioned a second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps on 21 June 1927.
Upon his return he attended pre-flight training at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia and entered flight training at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida in May 1929.
At that time he was selected to attend Naval Postgraduate School at Annapolis, Maryland and in August 1932 he attended further post-graduate school at Harvard University.
In July 1933 he became the communications and navigation officer with VS-15M onboard the USS Lexington (CV-2) and served in a similar capacity with Aircraft Two while stationed at Naval Air Station San Diego from June 1937 until August 1939.
From August 1939 until May 1940, then Captain Bayler attended Amphibious Warfare School at MCB Quantico, VA. After graduation he returned to the west coast to serve as the communications and radio officer for Marine Aircraft Group 21 (MAG-21).
On 20 November 1941, Maj Bayler and 48 Marines from MAG-21 departed Pearl Harbor onboard the USS Wright (AV-1) bound for Wake Island.
Within three days of their arrival they had completed their radio station in a tent in a large parking area just off the main runway.
During this time he worked very closely with Captain Winfield S. Cunningham, overall garrison commander, Major James P. Devereux commanding the island's 1st Defense Battalion detachment and Major Paul A. Putnam, in command of VMF-211.
Bayler had follow on orders to report to Midway by first available air transport to carry out the same mission there.
At the time it was imperative for the Marine Corps to get Maj Bayler off of Wake Island because he was one of the few Marine Corps officers that had experience establishing air-ground communications networks and he was knowledgeable of the still top secret radar program within the United States.
After departing Wake Island, Maj Bayler arrived at Midway Atoll and quickly joined the growing Marine Aviation Detachment there under the command of LtCol William J. Wallace.
His task was to again establish air-ground radio communications however he also assisted the 6th Defense Battalion with the installation and operation of their newly acquired early warning radars.
This radar and the early warning that it provided were critical to the success of the Cactus Air Force and the battle for Guadalcanal during the early stages of the campaign.
The radar picked up incoming aircraft over New Georgia giving Marine fliers enough advanced warning that they did not need to maintain a constant combat air patrol.
This allowed the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing to husband its resources at a time when aircraft and parts were difficult to attain.
Radar operators would pass distance and bearing information to Bayler at his communications facility via telephone and he then relayed this information to Marine fighter pilots overhead in their F4F Wildcats.
Bayler and his team assisted interdiction efforts against the Tokyo Express by relaying critical real time information on Japanese shipping to US aircraft.
They also coordinated aviation assets during the rescue mission to save personnel in Ironbottom Sound after the USS Little (DD-79) and USS Gregory (DD-82) were sunk in September/October 1942.
Upon his return from Guadalcanal, LtCol Bayler served as the Commanding Officer of the newly formed Marine Aircraft Group 34 at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina from February to April 1943.
During this time he also sat as the senior a member of a Radar Policy Board convened by the Commandant of the Marine Corps beginning on 11 February 1943.
The board was tasked to make recommendations regarding the establishment of an adequate radar warning program, radar fire control and radar fighter direction for Marine Corps units during amphibious operations.
Board recommendations included the organization of Air Warning Squadrons, placing organic fighter direction with night fighter squadrons and the creation of an Air Defense Section within the Division of Aviation at Headquarters Marine Corps.
On 1 July 1943, Col Bayler took command of the newly formed 1st Marine Air Warning Group (1st MAWG) at MCAS Cherry Point, NC.
1st MAWG's mission was to organize, train, and equip Air Warning Squadrons capable of setting up and maintaining expedient air defense systems to furnish early warning and fighter direction against enemy aircraft.
He remained the commanding officer until 4 April 1944 at which time he was transferred to Headquarters Marine Corps, Division of Aviation to continue to develop requirements for the ever burgeoning air warning program.
Colonel Bayler returned to the Pacific in December 1944 as the Chief of Staff for the rear echelon of the 4th Marine Aircraft Wing.
From May 1945 through March 1946 he served as the Assistant Chief of Staff, G-1, for Aircraft, Fleet Marine Force Pacific.
He returned to Washington, D.C. in March 1946 to serve as the Director of the Electronics Division, Bureau of Aeronautics, Navy Department until August 1948.
His next assignment was as the Officer in charge of the Aviation Section, Marine Corps Schools at MCB Quantico, VA. During this time he was also a member of board chaired by Major General Oliver P. Smith which recommended an expansion of the Marine Corps' newly developed helicopter program in order to advance emerging concepts in landing force techniques.
In December 1951, Col Bayler served as Commanding General and later Assistant Wing Commander for the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (3d MAW) at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina.
In August 1954, Colonel Bayler was assigned as the Assistant Chief of Staff, G-2 and Station Inspector for Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, California.
For his first five years out of uniform, he worked in production control management for the Hughes Aircraft Company in Fullerton and later Newport Beach.
After his time with Hughes he earned his teaching certificate at Chapman College and taught physics at Sunny Hills High School in Fullerton for another 10 years.
He was survived by his wife, Virginia Katheine Bayler daughter Virginia Marie who was married to Marine Corps MajGen Hal W. Vincent and three grandchildren.
The headquarters for Marine Air Control Squadron 1 (MACS-1) at the 32 Area on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California was named in honor of BGen Bayler on 9 July 1990.

She is known for her work related to pesticides, nuclear radiation, birth defects, breast cancer, and illnesses caused by toxins in homes and is considered a pioneer in the field of occupational and environmental health.
In the 1970s, during her practice of internal medicine in Detroit, she recognized common profiles in patients that became the basis of a campaign against, lawsuits regarding, and clinical research that established the occupational source of illnesses among her patients in the automobile industry and led to the development of regulations for greater protection of the workers and the banning of certain chemicals from the workplace.
Among the largest collections of medical-legal files in the United States, her records are preserved at the National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
She married her first husband, John Bigelow, that same year and moved with him to the San Francisco area while he served there in the navy.
She was one of only six women in her graduating class at medical school, which she attended on the advice of a boss at the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory at Hunters Point.
Dr. Sherman was married three times, to John Bigelow in 1952, to Howard Sherman in 1965, and in 1987, to her high school sweetheart, Donald Nevinger, who died in 2005.
In 1986, she took up the cello and eventually played with an all-volunteer symphony orchestra in McLean, Virginia for several years.

The San Domenico di Pesaro Altarpiece is a 1524-1526 oil on panel painting by Giovanni Gerolamo Savoldo, now in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan.
It shows the Madonna and Child seated between two angel musicians, while in the lower register it shows (from left to right) Saint Peter, Saint Dominic, Saint Paul and Saint Jerome.
In 1524 the Dominicans of the San Domenico Monastery in Pesaro commissioned a large altarpiece for the high altar from Savoldo, who had settled in Venice a few years earlier.
The work was broken up and dispersed in the 17th century, probably around 1646 when it was taken down for the Baroque remodelling of the church's interior.
Due to its size (5.05 by 2.12 m) it has remained in the same room ever since except for during the world wars.
It remained in place during a recent restoration, carried out within a transparent polycarbonate display case on a mobile platform and completed in 2005.
Ebenator (popularly known as Ebenator Ozulogu) is a town in Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State, south-eastern Nigeria, predominantly occupied by Igbo speaking people.
Ebenator people are hardworking, and can be found in different parts of the country and overseas where they seek their fortunes.
According to oral history, the town, not withstanding her smallness, was very mighty, and fought with virtually all her neighbouring communities who attempted to annex, plunder, raid, incur, pillage or even annihilate her because of her smallness in those olden days.
The town was indomitable and able to wage war with all those neighbouring communities, and emerge victorious because of the powerful god —Akwai, and goddess — Ofala which the people worshipped then.
The name Ebenator was coined in 1918 by an Anglican church Teacher posted to the community, by name, Mr. Peter Onwuemerie.
Then, these three autonomous villages hitherto had no one general name, by which they were addressed as a community, until Onwuemerie suggested Ebonator (meaning three villages/regions), a name which the community leaders and members swiftly subscribed to, and which later became pronounced as Ebenator, the name the community bears till today.
It was Ebenator town that produced the first trained teacher, the first university graduate, the first medical doctor, and first professor in the entire Mbanese, which is a general name for a conglomerate of five (out of ten) communities that make up the local government.
The community has an erosion gully site popularly known as Ibo Ebenator which is one of the deepest erosion gully sites in the entire south-eastern Nigeria.
The dangerous erosion gully, which is over deep from the normal topographical terrain, and which has a length span of about , has been one of the greatest environmental challenges confronting and marring Ebenator community since the last two decades, and still counting.
It has claimed lives of many innocent citizens, pulled and caved down many houses, destroyed crops and farmlands and damaged properties worth millions of Naira.
Buzzard is an American jurist who, as of 2019, is a judge of the District Court of Lewis County, a rural county in the state of Washington.
(pronounced /ɑɹ ˈdʌb.jə/ in colloquial American English) Buzzard is the child of Steve Buzzard, a former judge of the municipal court of Chehalis, Washington, and Missy Buzzard, the town's former mayor.
In 2003, he was appointed to the municipal court of Centralia, Washington and, the following year, was selected to the bench of the Lewis County District Court.
Buzzard was the subject of criticism in 2018 after it was revealed he would occasionally drink liquor in his chambers and had long kept a loaded firearm in an unlocked drawer of his desk.
According to Buzzard, he kept the firearm for personal protection as one of his judicial duties was to ride circuit to the remote town of Morton, Washington.
Critics noted that county ordinances prohibited carrying firearms into the Lewis County Courthouse by anyone except security personnel; however, Buzzard explained that he was among the court's security personnel, since he had ultimate responsibility for the order of his courtroom.
Buzzard has criticized the lack of security in the judicial facilities of Washington which have a high rate of courtroom violence; the state has the eighth greatest number of annual courtroom security incidents in the United States, eclipsing even that of New York despite the latter state having three times Washington's population.
The following year, Buzzard again descended from the bench to give chase after two criminal suspects attempted to escape his courtroom.
When the two men fled, Buzzard ripped off his judicial robes and pursued the suspects through the courthouse, ultimately grappling and restraining one of the two.

As a board member of the Committee for the Status of Women in the Economics Profession (CSWEP), she works to address the low representation of women in the Economics Profession and promotes the awareness of Women's issues in the field such as participation on editorial boards of Academic Journals.
Following her field of research, Amuedo-Dorantes also took on a research position at the Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration (CReAM) mainly focused on new methodological advances to assess policy issues.
Catalina Amuedo-Dorantes, Esther Arenas-Arroyo, and Almudena Sevilla addressed the role of greater interior immigration enforcement in changing the likelihood of U.S. born children with a likely unauthorized parent to live a life in poverty through the change of economic sources.
used household data from 2005-2011 American Community Survey (ACS) and found that with a one standard deviation increase in the intensity of the enforcement raised the overall likelihood of that U.S. born child with a likely unauthorized parent by a total of 4% and decreased income.
One type of immigration law, police-based measures, particularly enhanced negative impacts of immigration enforcement on the economic resources, and increases overall poverty risk.
Catalina Amuedo-Dorantes, Susan L. Averett, and Cynthia A. Bansak obtained data from the Current Population Survey collected in 1994, 1995, 1998, and 2000 to examine whether immigrant women adjusted their childbearing as a response to how generous the Government was with its welfare benefits, following the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act (PRWORA) which reduced immigrant eligibility and welfare participation.
Catalina Amuedo-Dorantes and Susan Pozo examined the relationship between remittances and family migration and its impact on children's school attendance in a study conducted in the Dominican Republic.
Amuedo-Dorantes and Pozo chose the Dominican Republic for two reasons, various emigration and remittance-receiving patterns which allow for isolation between the remittance and migration effects.
By obtaining from two samples, non-migrant and migrant households, they found that a 10% increase in remittances receipt increased children's school attendance by 3%.
However, the overall effect of the remittance effect may disappears due to the overpowering negative impact of the migration effect in play.
It is believed that policies aimed to increase remittance flows would further improve the countries impacted by migration out of the country.
Through the data of the 2001 Population Census and the 2002 Earnings Structure Survey for Spain, Catalina Amuedo-Dorantes and Sara de la Rica examined the immigrant's employment assimilation and assimilation occupation-wise of immigrants working in Spain.
Due to increasing levels of immigration in Spain allowed Amuedo-Dorantes and Rica to successfully distinguish variations by gender, origin, and educational achievement of immigrant employment and occupational assimilation.
Multiple findings were obtained: (1) immigrant men and women were far less likely than local men and women to be employed, (2) EU15 immigrants seemed to attain similar occupational patterns as natives while non-EU15 and their native counterparts were separated by an occupational attainment gap, and (3) low-educated male immigrants and only males, reached a slower occupational assimilation than their counterparts.
The mountain was named for the gamuza, the Spanish name for the Pyrenean chamois, as part of the ungulate theme for several other nearby peaks that were submitted by Philip Kubik of the first ascent party.
In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Gamuza Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Range where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.

The Basque-Cantabrian Basin is a large sedimentary basin on thinned continental crust that lies onshore and offshore along the southern margin of the Bay of Biscay on the north coast of Spain.
When the basin first formed, it was partly separated from the neighboring Pyrenean basin by the Landes high-ground, although this feature later got underthrusted and buried by Cretaceous sediments offshore.
The faulted offshore Biscay synclinorium is believed to be an extension of the onshore Pyrenean fault zone, by way of the Leiza fault.

The collection grew out of earlier libraries of the various departments and colleges, the oldest collection of which dates back to 1845.
Central Library is the largest of the 7 libraries at Imperial with its collection covering all of the college's research departments, forming the main reference library for the college.
The collection was open not only to students, but also benefactors of the college, as a way of attracting funding and backing.
The college went on to form part of the Royal School of Mines and then the Normal School of Science, with each having their own libraries, often part of larger museum collections.
A central library at Imperial College dates back to the construction of the Royal College of Science's building after the formation of Imperial in 1907, part of which became home to the Science Museum library.
Although this was not part of the college, it was used extensively by members of the college, acting as a reference library for items departmental collections did not cover.
The City and Guild's College building was home to a technical collection, with the Royal College of Science building containing a chemical reference library.
Books left by students in Beit Hall were collected into a circulation library of around 400 items for personal non-academic recreational reading in the Union Building; this became known as the Haldane Library, named after Richard Haldane, who had been involved in the formation of the college.
It was named after Lord Playfair of St Andrews, who had been a professor of chemistry at the Royal School of Mines.
The initial collection was focused on engineering, as it was formed out of the Unwin Library, created through the amalgamation of many of the engineering department libraries.
Although for the time being most science departments retained their own collections, the library expanded swiftly to cover the rest of the college's activities.
In the 1960s Imperial College quickly expanded in both facilities and population as part of an expansive programme of government investment.
This resulted in the construction of new purpose built facility for the central library, which was completed in 1969 along with the adjoining College Block, today the Sherfield Building, with the Science Museum Library moving to the new building the same year.
It was originally proposed for the Science Museum Library to be fully subsumed by the college's, however this plan was dropped by 1971.
Following a consultation with Foster and Partners in 1994, the library was renovated and a Waterstones bookstore opened as part of an expansion of the ground floor in 1997.
Two additional modern glass-clad floors were added to the top of the building, with the extension designed by John McAslan + Partners.
By the same year the Haldane collection, formed earlier from the amalgamation of the Haldane library in the Central Library, had over a collection of over 40 000 items.
The Science Museum Library finally closed in 2014, with resources being moved to the Dana Centre on Queen's Gate and off-site archives.
From 2017 through to end of summer 2018 the library underwent significant renovations, including the introduction of air conditioning, at a cost of £11 million.
The Central Library building was opened in 1969 with the rest of what is today known as the Sherfield Building, and extensively uses exposed concrete surface as was common with British architecture at the time.
Central Library primarily serves students and researchers at Imperial, with the library open 24 hours a day all week, excluding Friday night.

Obrad Vučurović (Serbian: Обрад Вучуровић (July 1, 1921 - September 18, 2013) was a Serbian rocket engineer and general of the Yugoslav People's Army.
He was leading figure in the development of rocket technology at the Military Technical Institute (VTI-Vojnotehnički Institut) in Belgrade for the Yugoslav land forces.
After the war he enrolled mechanical engineering faculty in Zagreb, among other things he studied with Werner von Braun's students, who taught as visiting professors in Zagreb.
Upon his return, he served in military as officer in the garrisons of Cetinje, Kotor, Zagreb and Belgrade, until he got permanently position as head of rocket department at the Military Technical Institute (VTI) in Belgrade and became director in the sector of the Joint Development of the Land Forces at VTI (1981-1987).
The Yugoslav army had allegedly bought 6pcs of the Japanese research rocket Kappa (rocket) together with launch pad and radar that was used as basis of research for domestic anti aircraft rockets.
Modeled on the Kappa (rocket), Obrad Vučurović had the Volcano booster engine built at the Pretis (Vogosča) military plant in Sarajevo.
Later SPS Vitez plant produced finished blocks of smokeless solid fuel from the chemical raw materials supplied from ZORKA (Šabac) and Vitkovići (Goražde), which contributed to the further development of the engine of the R-262.
Obrad Vučurović enjoyed a particularly prestigious position within the hierarchy of generals of the Yugoslav People's Army due to his engineering knowledge about completely new technology's in rocket construction.
He was responsible not only for the development of weapon systems, but also for the series production of the military-industrial complex.
Due to Obrad Vučurović, some of the large arms factories constructed in Yugoslavia had reached high technological and quality standards for military products, which some factories could no longer maintain after the collapse of the country.
As a pioneer of Yugoslav rocket development, his greatest achievements was the development of the R-262 rocket and the Yugoslav M-87 Orkan multiple rocket launcher system.
M-63 Plamen was developed in 1963 as multiple rocket launcher in 128mm caliber with Obrad Vučurović as project manager and chief engineer of development.
M-77 Oganj self-propelled multiple rocket launcher development started in 1968. with Prof. Obrad Vucurević, who leaded developing and managed construction and production of the M-77 Oganj.
Professor had practically all components designed by his engineers according to his plans, without paying to much attention to the costs as goal was to get best multiple rocket system at given time.
From Germany, new equipment was bought from company Leifield for processes of cylinder press rolling for the formation of rocket engine chambers at the Pretis plant.
The SPS Vitez imported new equipment for the extrusion of 160 kg of mew two-base smokeless solid fuel (NGR 375) for the chamber of the rocket engine.
In total, in Yugoslavia, over 100 factories in the metal, chemical and automotive industries, telecommunications and electronics in Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia worked on the individual components of the weapon system KOL-15 and Orkan.
Special new alloys were required when choosing the steel and aluminum alloys in order to withstand pressures by new rocket engine.
For them, high-performance steels were produced in the Ravna steel mill in Slovenia, and the finished pipes were further processed in Pretis-Unis Bosnia nad Herzegovina.
In addition to the Prevlaka and Luštica military test sites, it was Krivolak in the then Republic of Macedonia where the weapon system was also tested.
It was not possible to use them at Prevlaka and Luštica over the Adriatic sea in order to see their deployment and explosion solid ground was needed.
In Krivolak, several villages and all livestock had to be evacuated beforehand, as the sub-munitions often in test covered more area than planned.

Emilia Dauway MD, FACS, FRACS (born 11 August 1965) is an American trained surgeon who is practicing general, breast and oncologic surgery in Australia.
Dauway was co-inventor of the use of radioactive seeds in the breast to localise non-palpable breast cancers and the first in Australia to use magnetic seeds instead of radioactive seeds.
Dauway is also a Yoga Instructor, a Keynote speaker and is founder/director of Restore More, a non-profit initiative which provides education and funding to women in regional and geographically disadvantaged areas for breast cancer treatment and reconstruction.
She then studied for a Bachelor Degree, Natural Science from Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore MD, graduating in May 1987, and obtained a Doctorate of Medicine from the University of Illinois College of Medicine, Rockford IL in 1992.
Dauway then completed an Internship/Residency in General Surgery at Ochsner Medical Foundation Hospital, New Orleans LA, from June 1992 to May 1997.
She was employed as an Assistant Professor of Surgery from June 1999 to April 2001, at the West Virginia University Robert C Byrd School of Medicine, Dept.
In 1999, Dr Dauway and Dr Charles Cox presented the results of a pilot study to the Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons.
Results from that study indicated that the surgeons had discovered a safe new method of taking biopsies from lesions in the breast.
From April 2001 to December 2005 Dauway worked as a General Surgeon/Surgical Oncologist at the Virginia Mason Medical Center, Seattle, Washington, USA, in the Dept.
Then she took the position of Chief of Surgery/Surgical Oncologist at Wilcox Memorial Hospital, Kauai, Hawaii, USA, from December 2005 to July 2012.
From June 2007 to June 2012 she was Assistant Professor of Surgery at Texas A & M Health Sciences Division of Surgical Oncology, Temple, Texas, USA and Clinical Instructor of Surgery at John Burns Medical School, Hawaii, USA, from June 2012 to Dec 2014.

In 2014, IntraMedical Imaging LLC, licensed a key patent from the University of South Florida for the new breast cancer treatment co-invented by Dauway and Dr. Charles Cox, McCann Foundation Endowed Professor of Breast Surgery.
The seed localization technique had been further refined and allowed surgeons to be guided by mammography, to place small radioactive seeds inside the patient’s breast lump.
The seeds are tracked to guide the surgeon to the lump, which minimizes the volume of breast tissue removed, resulting in a less invasive surgical option for patients, and better outcomes.
In January 2015, Dauway moved to Australia and was employed as a Specialist General Surgeon/Surgical Oncologist/Consultant at the Gladstone Mater Hospital and the Gladstone District Hospital, in Gladstone, Queensland, with her time divided equally between the two hospitals.
From October 2015 to 2018 Dauway was also employed in the academic position of Senior Lecturer at the University of Queensland School of Medicine, in the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Brisbane, Qld, Australia.
She was the first surgeon in Australia to offer Magseed localization for breast cancer surgery, using small magnetic seeds, the size of a grain of rice, instead of radioactive seeds or the more traditional use of hook-wires.
With the increased risk of infection with hook-wire technique, women from rural areas often had to travel to have this implanted and it needed to be done on the same day as the breast surgery.
Dauway left Gladstone in January 2020, to take up a position as Specialist General Surgeon/Surgical Oncologist/Consultant at the Hervey Bay Hospital & St. Stephens Private Hospital, Queensland.
Dauway founded Restore More, a non-profit organisation, to provide education and funding to women in regional and geographically disadvantaged areas, to allow better access to breast cancer treatment and reconstruction.
After working in Central Queensland, Dauway noticed that rural and remote patients had barriers preventing them from accessing the full range of reconstruction options open to those living in cities.
Reconstruction is not just cosmetic as those who have had one breast removed can suffer from muscular-skeletal problems and issues with balance.
Only one in ten Australian women will be offered reconstructive surgery and Dauway aims to increase awareness of options and improve access.
In her practice, as well as removing the cancer, she aims for the person to be restored mentally and physically in order to live a quality life after treatment.
In 2019, at the Regional Women's Network, CQ Inc (RWN), Dauway won the Inspirational Woman of the Year 2019 award and was the first to receive the Ann Augusteyn Trophy.
Dauway was the co-inventor of the use of radioactive seeds in the breast to localise non-palpable breast cancers and the first in Australia to use magnetic seeds instead of radioactive seeds.

He was one of several men taken prisoner by the English in 1170, when Waterford was captured by Richard de Clare.
Ragnall is noted by a fourteenth-century legal enquiry which sought to determine whether a slain man was an Ostman—and thus entitled to English law—or an Irishman.
Probably in May of that year, an English advance party under Raymond le Gros and Hervey de Montemercy overcame the Waterfordians and their allies outside the town at Baginbun.
The following August, Richard de Clare arrived on the scene, linked up with the English at Baginbun, stormed Waterford, and seized it.
Although two of these men—both named Sitric—are stated to have been executed, Ragnall and Máel Sechnaill Ua Fáeláin are said to have been spared on account of the intervention of Diarmait Mac Murchada.
On 17 October 1171, Henry II, King of England made landfall in Ireland, probably at Crook, about five miles east of Waterford.
The case revolved around the murder of Eóin, son of Ímar Mac Gilla Muire, and sought to determine whether Eóin was an Ostman or Irishman.
Although the defendant, one Robert le Waleys, admitted to killing Eóin, he pleaded that the act was not a felony because Eóin was an Irishman and not of free blood.
The Crown, represented by John, son of John, son of Robert le Poer, argued that Eóin was instead an Ostman as a member of the Mac Gilla Muire family.
As such, John argued that Eóin was entitled to protection under English law in Ireland on account of a charter issued by Henry—and later confirmed by Edward I, King of England—in which such protection was specifically granted to members of the family and other Ostmen.
After the king landed, the juror's stated that Ragnall and some of his followers were captured, taken to Waterford, and hanged by the English.
Although Roger's account is the only source to record Ragnall's submission, it is unknown why such an act would have been recorded if it were not an historical fact.
It is possible that Ragnall, or one of several earlier like-named men who ruled Waterford, is the eponym of Reginald's Tower, a fifty-four foot high stone tower in Waterford.
The present structure of Reginald's Tower may date to the thirteenth century, and it may occupy the site of an earlier fortress.
If this account is based upon an historical fact, it could refer an attempt by the Waterfordians to block the English fleet further down river at Passage across from Dunbrody.

The history of video gaming in Spain dates back to the 1970s, and by 2014 the country was the 10th-highest-grossing market for video games worldwide.
Topo Soft followed with ' in 1988, whose high sales of 100,000 units likewise inspired the company to pursue licensed sports titles.
According to Garin and Martínez, international games were less popular and less respected in Spain than domestic products during the golden age, among both video game players and video game magazines.
Researchers have cited multiple reasons for the crash, including poor marketing and distribution chains, the rising popularity of game consoles over microcomputers and the inability of Spanish teams to adapt to the changing nature of game development itself.

The 2nd Tank Regiment () was a tank regiment of the Italian Army based in San Vito al Tagliamento in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Originally the regiment, like all Italian tank units, was part of the infantry, but on 1 June 1999 it became part of the cavalry.
The regiment was formed on 15 September 1936 in Montorio Veronese as 2nd Tank Infantry Regiment with four battalions: IV, V, and XI assault tanks battalions and the III Breach Tanks Battalion.
With the regiment the battalion operated in Dalmatia and Venezia Giulia in 1940, before being sent to North Africa for the Western Desert Campaign.
As the war flag of the 2nd Tank Infantry Regiment had passed to the 32nd Tank Regiment, the 22nd Piccinini was granted a new war flag and a coat of arms on 12 November 1976 by decree 846 of the President of the Italian Republic Giovanni Leone.
Tank and armored battalions created during the 1975 army reform were all named for officers, soldiers and partisans, who were posthumously awarded Italy's highest military honor the Gold Medal of Military Valour during World War II.
For its conduct and work after the 1976 Friuli earthquake the battalion was awarded a Bronze Medal of Army Valour, which was affixed to the battalion's war flag and added to the battalion's coat of arms.
In 1992 the battalion was elevated to regiment without changing size or organization, but already in 1995 the regiment was disbanded and its war flag transferred to the Shrine of the Flags in the Vittoriano in Rome.

The Hellenic orogeny was a mountain building event that affected what is now Greece, the Aegean Sea and western Turkey, beginning in the Jurassic as a series of small continents and remnant oceanic crust collided with Eurasia.
The oceanic crust of the Neotethys ocean subducted between the newly compounded Cimmerian-Eurasia continent, but obducted some more ophiolites onto the edge of the Cimmerian crust.
Tectonic activity resumed in the early Cenozoic when the small Apulia plate collided with the Cimmerian-Eurasian rocks causing intense imbrication and the deposition of the Pindos flysch.
The final phase of the process came in the Miocene and Pliocene, during the Mesogean orogeny, when the combined Mesogean-African plate subducted beneath what is now Greece, the Aegean and parts of western Turkey.
The Cimmerian orogenic belt in Greece comprises the Serbomacedonian, Circum Rhodope, Axios, Pelagonian and Rhodope zones, while the Bayburt, Sinop, Kirklareli and Sakarya zones are situated in Turkey.
Apatite and zircon analysis in the southern Aegean suggests that metamorphism in the Cenozoic phase of the orogeny never exceeded 300 degrees Celsius.
The Tritiya Prastuti Committee(TPC) was formed in 2002 when several cadres broke away from Maoist Communist Centre (MCC) due to its perceived domination of Yadav caste in decision making and discrimination of so-called Dalits led to the formation of the TPC by non-Yadavs chiefly the Mahtos, Ganjhus, Bhokta, Oraon and Kharwars among others.
A report in The Hindu claimed that later TPC cadres handed over the bodies of Maoists to troopers of Commando Battalion for Resolute Action(CoBRA), an elite counter-insurgency wing of the Central Reserve Police Force.
Because of the high variation of this process, fertility is not recommended to be a method of contraception by medical providers.
The physiological importance of this inhibition is so that women who are breastfeeding have a decreased likelihood of a subsequent pregnancy while they are still wanting to breastfeed.
Breastfeeding is not a sole method of postpartum contraception that is recommended by medical providers, because it is so highly variable.
Each woman’s body is different and therefore there are no set percentages or data on how much time would increase fertility and by how much.
Medical providers will often recommend that sexually active postpartum woman be on some form contraceptive to avoid a subsequent pregnancy if desired, due to the low reliability of breastfeeding as a contraceptive.
Prolactin regulates the production of milk and delivery of that milk into the alveoli of breast tissue where it waits to be excreted.
Oxytocin regulates the excretion of milk by targeting the layer of smooth muscle cells that surround the alveoli, causing them to contract.
As this muscle contracts, milk is forced out of the alveoli, through ducts, and out of the breast via the nipple.
If breastfeeding did not have any effect on fertility, then newly postpartum women would have an increased likelihood of getting pregnant.
If they were to become pregnant again within the period of time in which they are breastfeeding their newborn, their next pregnancy would inhibit the production of milk as explained above.

The Colts–Texans rivalry is a professional American football rivalry in the National Football League (NFL) between the Indianapolis Colts and the Houston Texans.
While being one of the newest rivalries in the NFL due to the Texans' formation in 2002 and the Colts' reallocation to the AFC South division that year, this rivalry has increased in intensity over the 2010s despite being lopsided in favor of Indianapolis during the 2000s.
Though Colts fans generally view the Texans simply as a divisional opponent, many Texans fans see the Colts as their top rival due to their long period of dominance in the series.
Indianapolis won the first nine games in the series as they were a perennial Super Bowl contender under quarterback Peyton Manning while the Texans struggled in their first years in the NFL, finally attaining their first winning season in 2009 and becoming a playoff contender through much of the 2010s.
Houston's first NFL Team was the Houston Oilers, who had moved to Memphis, Tennessee and later Nashville, Tennessee to become the Tennessee Titans.
Bob McNair then spearheaded an effort to get the NFL to create an expansion team in Houston to replace the Oilers and even out the league's teams at 32.
The AFC South was created with the Texans joining as an expansion team, the Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars joining from the former AFC Central, and the Colts joining from the AFC East.
The Titans and Jaguars were already rivals coming into the division, but the Colts and Texans would have to develop new divisional rivalries, as Indianapolis would leave behind its old rivalries from the AFC East, including a developing rivalry with the New England Patriots.
Efforts for Houston to develop any heated rivalries in the 2000s were for naught, as the Texans were one of the NFL's bottom tier teams for much of their first nine years of playing.
Indianapolis, on the other hand, was one of the NFL's powerhouses, featuring a stellar offense with quarterback Peyton Manning and receivers Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne.
The Colts won the division 7 out of 9 years during this period and managed to make the playoffs each time.
The Colts and Texans first met on September 22, 2002 at Reliant Stadium in Houston, with Manning passing for 272 yards and two touchdowns while Texans rookie quarterback David Carr struggled, only amassing 99 yards, an interception, and a 47.3 passer rating as the Colts routed the Texans 23–3.
The Colts wound up winning each of the first nine meetings between the teams, including a 49–14 victory at the RCA Dome in 2004, before Houston finally beat Indianapolis in week 16 of the 2006 season.
Peyton Manning wound up having a 16–2 record against the Texans while with the Colts before being released and signing with the Denver Broncos after sitting out the 2011 season due to injury.
The Texans routed the Manning-less Colts 34–7 in Houston in during opening day of the 2011 season, but were upset during the rematch in Indianapolis after Colts backup quarterback Dan Orlovsky completed a last-minute pass to Reggie Wayne for a touchdown, allowing Indianapolis to win 19–16.
By the second game, both starting quarterbacks had been placed on injured reserve for the teams; in addition to Manning missing the whole season, Texans starter Matt Schaub had been sidelined with a Lisfranc injury, forcing rookie T. J. Yates to play in his stead.
Nonetheless, the Colts suffered a 2–14 season without Manning, while the Texans still made the playoffs despite Schaub missing the last six games of the season, winning the AFC South for their first division title and playoff berth in franchise history.
The Colts then obtained the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft, which they then used to select Stanford quarterback and Houston native Andrew Luck to fill in the void left by Manning.
The Texans dominated the Colts during Luck's first game in the rivalry, clinching a second consecutive divisional title with the 29–17 win in week 15 of 2012.
However, this would be Indianapolis' last divisional loss until 2015, as the Colts would win the next six in a row against Houston.
Houston broke the streak with a 16–10 win at Lucas Oil Stadium on October 8, 2015, which was the first time the Texans beat the Colts on the road.
The following year, quarterback Brock Osweiler led the Texans to their first ever season sweep of the Colts in his only season with Houston.
Despite the growing animosity between the two teams, many players and executives from the Colts organization helped the Texans with donations and fundraising in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey at the start of the 2017 season.
Houston had won the division thanks to strong play from quarterback Deshaun Watson and the defense, while Indianapolis had overcome a 1–5 start to clinch a wild-card berth at 10–6.
The Colts won the game thanks to effective play from Luck, running back Marlon Mack, and their defense, keeping Houston scoreless until the fourth quarter with a 21–7 win.
In 2019, the Texans and Colts were both in position to contend for the AFC South title, despite Indianapolis losing Andrew Luck to a sudden retirement prior to the season.
The Colts won the first meeting 30–23 thanks to four touchdown passes from new quarterback Jacoby Brissett, but the Texans won 20–17 in week 12 thanks to two touchdown passes from Watson to receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
Located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, U.S., the Hall was created to celebrate the contributions of cowboys and cowgirls from around the world.
The hall of fame has the largest rodeo collection in the nation and claims to be the first rodeo hall of fame.

Together with the Anabar Shield further to the northwest, the Aldan Shield is one of the main features of the craton.
The Aldan Shield geological region coincides geographically with the Aldan Highlands, located at the southern end of the Sakha Republic, between the Aldan River and the Uchur River.
The exposed crust parts of the shield date back to the Archean and reflect the first phases of accretion of the crust.
They only emerge in a few areas, the eastern and northern sectors of the shield being largely covered by sediments accumulated between the end of the Precambrian and the Cambrian, while in the western and southern regions they have undergone processes of tectonic rejuvenation that have brought about the formation of new structures above and below.

Their only son Donald James Roy Mackintosh was born in 1902, but died of measles in Menton, France, in December 1907.
As a young boy, Mackintosh learnt to shoot with an old muzzleloader, using it to hunt crows and rabbits with lead and black powder.
He joined the Melbourne Gun Club in 1889, and within six months had attained the maximum handicap of , which he held for the rest of his career.
Mackintosh participated in live bird shoots at least three days per week, and much of the rest of his time was spent hunting game, especially quail.
Mackintosh left Australia in 1896 to travel on the more lucrative European shooting circuit, participating in tournaments in England, Belgium, France, Monaco, Spain and Italy.
He won the London Gun Club Challenge Cup three times, the Grand Prix at Monte Carlo twice, the Belgian championships, and the grands prix of Italy, Aix-les-Bains, Milan, and Madrid.
He was said to have won 30 gold medals and over £20,000 in prize money, equivalent to approximately A$4 million in 2014.
Mackintosh has been cited by the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) as one of three Australians who competed in the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, along with swimmer Frederick Lane and runner Stan Rowley.
Mackintosh shot 22 birds in a row, one more than the Spanish runner-up; each shooter was eliminated after missing one bird.
When all but the last four shooters had been eliminated, the remaining competitors agreed to split the prize money equally between them.
In 1956, Hungarian historian Ferenc Mező was commissioned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to compile a comprehensive list of Olympic champions.
This error was not brought to the attention of the IOC until 1987, when Australian historians Reet and Max Howell conducted further research.
However, the IOC did not formally confirm Mackintosh as an Olympic gold medallist in shooting until 1992, following a visit from the AOC's official historian Harry Gordon to IOC headquarters.
This reclassification means that Patricia Dench is now officially regarded as Australia's first Olympic shooting medallist, for a bronze medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics.
In 1922, Mackintosh participated in an exhibition of clay pigeon shooting in order to raise money for a library in Rockbank, his birthplace.
He later became one of the founders of the Australian Clay Pigeon and Trap Shooting Association (ACPTSA), the predecessor of the current Australian Clay Target Association (ACTA).
In 1939, Mackintosh donated a trophy worth 100 guineas for an international trap tournament, to be contested between teams from Australia and the Home Nations.
Mackintosh was posthumously inducted into the ACTA Hall of Fame in 2010, and into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 2012.
The Italian missionary film was first introduced in a 1922 work produced in the country by Capuchin monks collaborating with the colonial government.

The geology of the Norwegian Sea began to form 60 million years ago in the early Cenozoic, as rifting led to the eruption of mafic oceanic crust, separating Scandinavia and Greenland.
Together with the North Sea the Norwegian Sea has become highly researched since the 1960s with the discovery of oil and natural gas in thick offshore sediments on top of the Norwegian continental shelf.
The metamorphic crystalline basement rock underlying the continental shelf in the Norwegian Sea is related to the ancient continent Baltica, which now forms the stable East European Craton.
Early rifts began in the late Paleozoic between what is now Norway and Greenland during the time of the Caledonian orogeny.
Rifting seemingly continued through the Carboniferous, Permian and into the Mesozoic, but subsequent tectonic activity and thick overlying sediment complicates the record.
The Harstad, Tromsø, Bjørnøya and Sørvestsnaget basins all developed during the late Jurassic and into the Cretaceous as the rifting which formed the Atlantic ocean propagated northward and began to open the Norwegian Sea.
Fine-grained clastic rock filled in the Vøring and Møre basins by the mid-Cretaceous while coarser material continued to fill in the Vøring basin during the Cenomanian and Campanian.
The rifting which finally completed the opening of the sea from 60 to 55 million years ago created the Utgard High and Fles Fault Complex, uplifted southwestern Norway and led to the eruption of large volumes of lava for almost six million years.
Reverse faults and the formation of domes and anticlines at some point in the mid-Cenozoic and the Molo Formation indicate some mild tectonic activity and a slight uplift of western Scandinavia.
Initially, there were concerns that when thick layers of lava deposited they may have superheated the rocks, perhaps generating natural gas.
The Ormen Lange natural gas field started producing from Cretaceous and Paleocene sandstones sometimes over a kilometer beneath the water and beneath Storegga slide debris in the Møre basin.
Throughout the 1990s the Norwegian Deepwater Program conducted research on the debris field of this massive underwater landslide, 8000 years ago, to determine if oil and gas development would be safe in the field.
The Hong Kong Medical Licensing Examination (HKMLE) is a required assessment for doctors that graduated from medical schools outside of Hong Kong and forms part of the pathway to medical licensure in Hong Kong.
According to the Medical Registration Ordinance, the purpose of passing the HKMLE shows the achievement of a standard acceptable for registration as a medical practitioner in Hong Kong.
In order to qualify to take the HKMLE non-local medical graduates must first apply and undergo vetting of their medical education and training by the Medical Council of Hong Kong.
The exam consists of three parts: Part I) Examination in Professional Knowledge, Part II) Proficiency Test in Medical English, and Part III) Clinical Examination.
The Medical Council has responded that the examination is set at the same level as the final MB examination of the HKU MBBS/ CUHK MBChB, with questions taken from the same question bank.
In order to facilitate preparation for the exam, the Medical Council launched an exam portal on 11 October 2018 with suggested readings and topics, instructive videos, and other information about the exam.

In computer science, the two-way string-matching algorithm is an efficient string-searching algorithm that can be viewed as a combination of the forward-going Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm and the backward-running Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm.
Breslauer has two improvements with fewer comparisons: one with constant space and n+floor(1+eps/2 * (n-m)) comparisons, the other with log(m) space and n + floor((n-m)/2) comparisons.
However, it does so via partitioning (critical factorization) of the needle into two halves, so that only one value needs to be remembered from preprocessing.
It is selected as the glibc (and the derived newlib; str-two-way.h) and musl algorithm for the memmem and strstr family of substring functions.
However, as with most advanced string-search algorithms, there tends to be a break-even point in the size of both the haystack and the needle, before which a naive quadratic (memchr-memcmp) implementation is more efficient.
Maud Hester von Ossietzky (née Lichfield-Woods; December 12, 1888, Hyderabad – May 12, 1974, Berlin) was a suffragette and the wife of German journalist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Carl von Ossietzky.

Chitraguptavanshi Kayastha (IAST: ) denotes a subgroup of Hindus of the Kayastha caste that are mainly concentrated in the Hindi Belt of North India.
They were largely employed as scribes, clerks and administrators from early Hindu kingdoms up to the Muslim conquests of North India.
According to the earliest known writings from the ancient Hindu texts, the Bhavishya Puranas, Chitraguptavanshi Kayasthas descended from the Hindu god, Chitragupta, who was conceived from the body of the Hindu god, Brahma, who gave Chitragupta and his descendants the duties to separate good from evil.
As per Puranic literature, Chitragupta gave birth to 12 sons, each of whom represent the 12 patrilineal Chitraguptavanshi subcastes commonly recognized today.
Various sources suggest that the Kayasthas were created by the gradual intermixing of different castes who were formerly employed by early Mughal kings to serve as scribal elites, becoming known as a separate caste of writers during the British Raj.
Chitragupta Puja is an annual festival celebrated by Chitraguptavanshi Kayasthas in which ceremonial rituals involving the use of books and pens are performed for Chitragupta in order to gain blessings and good fortune for the year.

Uretiti Beach () is a stretch of beach between Ruakākā and Waipu on Bream Bay to the south of Whangarei in Northland, New Zealand.
It comprises the coastal side of the Uretiti Recreation Reserve and Uretiti Scenic Reserve, and is served by a Department of Conservation (DOC) campground within the Recreation Reserve.
Its northern and southern extremities are defined by DOC boundaries rather than topographical features; it shades into Ruakākā Beach adjacent to Ruakākā township at the northern end, and into the Waipu Wildlife Refuge near Waipu town at the southern end.
DOC warns visitors to clean their shoes upon leaving to avoid spreading kauri dieback disease, and notes that wasp nests are a hazard in the area.
Uretiti is a popular site for New Year's Eve revelry; visitors wishing to camp during the peak of the season are advised to book in advance.
New Year revellers and other visitors frequently light fireworks or bonfires on the beach despite total fire bans in the area; fireworks are believed to be responsible for a fire which claimed of scrub in 2016.

Hong Kong Reincarnated – New Lo Ting Archaeological Find was an exhibition held at the Hong Kong Art Centre from 20 June – 14 July 1998.
Oscar Ho, the curator, considered the Lo Ting (a fictional tribe of half-man, half-fish creatures) as a purported ancestor of the Tanka tribes from whom the indigenous Hong Kongers descended.
The story tells of a man who brought a female Lo Ting onto the land, offering her food and clothes and teaching her to talk.
First, it addressed participating artists as members from Team 20, a department of excavation affiliated with the Research Centre of Ancient History in Nanhai.
They were assigned to be involved in the curatorial process at different organisations, such as the fictional Hong Kong Lo Ting Research Association and Friends of Lo Ting.
Exhibits were shown in glass cases with wooden frames and miniature models, and maps were used to illustrate the geographical environment of the Lo Ting settlements.
Thus, it created a condition for audiences to examine, verify, and interpret the historical narratives based on their thoughts and beliefs.
The artists include AU Kawai, CHAN Chihang, CHAN Kachun, HO Yuenleung, LAU Ying, LEUNG Wanyee Janice, LIU Chiwai, Luke CHING, NG Chiwai, NG Tszkwan, NG Waiming, SHEK Mingfai Phil, SIT Likhoi, WAN Laikuen Annie, YAN Patto, YAU Puiwah, YEUNG Waikeung, and YU Chiushan.

Sir George Wharton (1583 – 8 November 1609), of Wharton Hall, Westmorland, was a Member of Parliament for Westmorland in 1601.
Johann Georg August Wirth (20 November 1798 – 6 July 1848) was a German lawyer, writer and politician during the Vormärz period that preceded the German revolutions of 1848–1849.
Wirth first attended his hometown's grammar school as a classmate of Karl Ludwig Sand and in 1811 moved to the in Bayreuth.
Wirth left the fraternity at the beginning of January 1818, became senior of the Corps Franconia and remained a student of the Corps throughout his life.
In the same year he moved to Munich and took over the editorial office of the government-loyal magazine ' by Johann Friedrich Cotta.
He was increasingly harassed by persecutions, but took advantage of the gaps in censorship and always voted for the strengthening of civil rights.
In June 1833 he was tried by a jury in the spectacular trial in Landau and was acquitted - Wirth had defended himself in an eight-hour speech and declared the princes high traitors.
But in November 1833, the Zuchtpolizeigericht Zweibrücken sentenced him to the maximum sentence of two years in prison for insulting domestic and foreign authorities.
In the Prussian principalities he was elected to the Frankfurt Parliament, but died shortly thereafter in Frankfurt on 26 July 1848 at age 49 and was buried in the Frankfurt Main Cemetery.
The city of Hof erected a monument to the 150th anniversary of Wirth's death in 1998, which honours the person of Wirth by making his work as a fighter for freedom of the press its content.
It was created by the sculptor Andreas Theurer and has the shape of a wave-shaped newspaper page lying on the ground.
In 2012, the monument was removed from its original location in the city centre and a second, smaller version was erected near the Freiheitshalle.

Originally the regiment, like all Italian tank units, was part of the infantry, but on 1 June 1999 it became part of the cavalry.
The regiment traces its history back to the Armed Tanks Regiment () formed on 1 October 1927 in Rome, which moved in 1931 to Bologna.
The regiment was the central training center for all officers and ranks destined for tank units and fielded three separate training battalions.
Additionally the regiment was administratively and logistically responsible for all tank units deployed in the Italian colonies of: Libya, Eritrea, and Somaliland.
During the war the regiment trained all personnel destined for tank units and managed the training grounds at Bologna, Porretta, Riolo, Vergato, Asiago, and Futa.
After Italy changed sides with the Armistice of Cassibile on 8 September 1943 the 3rd Tank Infantry Regiment was disbanded by the Germans.
Therefore the regiment, unlike the other three armored infantry regiments of the army, fielded its own reconnaissance squadron and was assigned a self-propelled artillery battery.
Tank and armored battalions created during the 1975 army reform were all named for officers, soldiers and partisans, who were posthumously awarded Italy's highest military honor the Gold Medal of Military Valour during World War II.
The 9th Armored Battalion's name commemorated 4th Tank Infantry Regiment Soldier Gaetano Butera, who had joined a partisan unit in Rome and was murdered on 24 March 1944 in the Ardeatine massacre.
With the end of the Cold War the Italian Army drew down its forces and on 29 September 1995 the battalion was disbanded and the war flag of the 3rd Armored Infantry Regiment transferred to the Shrine of the Flags in the Vittoriano in Rome.

Whilst this move did not proceed as intended, 1 ACC moved to RAF Scampton in 2012 and the technical site at RAF Kirton in Lindsey was sold off, although the domestic site was retained for RAF personnel.
In 2018, the RAF announced that RAF Scampton would close by 2022, which would involve moving all units out of the station to other locations.
Staffing of the unit fluctuates with demand and role, but in 2015, the number of personnel at the unit was around 220.
The main role of 1 ACC is to provide deployed air control operations, both in the United Kingdom and on deployed operations worldwide.
Whilst working in the United Kingdom, 1 ACC feeds into the CRC at RAF Boulmer and helps to protect UK airspace from hostile aircraft.
Blanche had a consistent modus operandi - when he spotted the victim, he would break into their house at night, bound her hands and got her to his car, driving to the outskirts of the city, under the threat of a knife.
His impulses now appeased, he started behaving as a friend or even a considerate companion, bringing his victim back to their home.
He was rearrested, and his second trial made it to the national headlines, because the French police could not proceed with his arrest, since Blanche acted in several departments that did not share their judicial information.
Like many of his brothers and sisters, he was placed in another family at a young age, after suffering abuse at the hands of his parents.
On September 7, on Des Jardins Street in Caen, Blanche broke into the house of a woman named Nathalie at night, threatening her with tear gas and a knife.
He drove her to a forest, where he raped her, before driving her home, but like his ex-wife, she jumped out and managed to flee.
On September 14, again on Des Jardins Street, Blanche broke into another woman's house, named Clara, at night, threatening her with a knife, tying her up and raping her.
After the fact, he conversed with her a long while, before stealing the money in her purse and left the house, leaving her tied up.
On June 21, in Reims, two students of a local school (12/13-year-old Aurore and an unnamed 17-year-old) ran away from class to attend a music festival.
She went to the gendarmerie of Vouziers and lodged a complaint against him for the sexual abuse of her daughter, Nadia.
After an interrogation, he was indicted in Charlville-Mézières, where Justice Paul-André Breton decided to place Blanche under judicial control, with no contact with his ex-wife, her daughter or the witnesses.
The warnings of the psychiatric experts, however, were not present on Blanche's profile, and despite the criminal record and the unfavorable opinion of the prosecutor, the judge decided that there was insufficient evidence, and Jean-Luc was released.
On July 27, at Fontaine-la-Soret in Eure, around 11 PM, in a rest area near the RN13, Blanche tried to strangle a woman named Charlotte.
Charlotte didn't manage to remember his license plate because of the shock, but still filed a complaint to the gendarmerie in Bernay.
He took a knife from the kitchen, raped Laurence/Brigitte, then struck and knocked her down, also destroying some of the property around the house.
A neighbor, alerted by the cries of coming from within the household, called the gendarmerie, but in the meantime, Blanche had run away.
When they learned that it was Jean-Luc, gendarmerie realized several things, among them: he disrespected his judicial control; he hadn't shown up to work since July 13; he never went to his mother's house in Reims, nor did the weekly visit to the police station.
On the night between August 25 and 26, between 4 and 5 PM, on Des Jardins Street, Jean-Luc Blanche entered the studio of 19-year-old student Céline, which was on the first floor.
He claimed to be a part of a network of human traffickers and must deliver her to his Russian or Turkish accomplices, so she could be prostituted in Eastern Europe.
Then he tried to talk to her, attempting to make Céline pity him by saying that his wife had left him.
They left by car, with Blanche stopping on several occasions, submitting his victim to psychological blackmail by pretending to hesitate, telling her that if he released her, he would lose his contract and certainly the confidence of his accomplices.
He stopped the car on a farm road near a cornfield, where he raped her again for much longer, and in a more brutal manner.
Blanche stopped the car and threatened her with a knife, then told her he would take her with him to southern France.
While he was outside getting back the key, Céline searched through his bag and discreetly took her abductor's driving license and put it in her wallet.
The police went with her to the places mentioned, and at the site of the second rape near the cornfield, they found condoms used by Blanche.
On the night of September 1, in Orsay, Blanche entered the home of 38-year-old executive assistant Martine, through an open window.
Jean-Luc threatened Martine that he would place her in a brothel, taking her to Dijon in Côte-d'Or, where he raped her several times before taking her home, warning her that he would return if she told anybody.
On September 4, at around 4 PM, in Saint-Loup-Géanges in Saône-et-Loire, Blanche entered the home of a 36-year-old real estate negotiator named Solange, whose husband had just gone to work.
While driving, he told Solange of incredible stories about gambling debts allegedly incurred by her husband, then of gangs who took her husband's vehicle to commit a robbery, and were then ordered to kidnap her so they could ensure his silence.
While driving down a forest path, he took the woman out the car, then he simulated a strangling gesture with some string.
The man chained Solange's arms in front of the fireplace, forced her to drink strong alcohol, undressed her and passed the blade of a knife along her body.
When she was dead drunk, Blanche released her, lay her on the bed and raped her, before acting tenderly towards her.
Blanche borrowed Solange's mobile phone to call her mother, so he could inform her that her daughter would be attending his birthday at his home in Reims.
At this time, Solange managed to break free and phoned her husband, explaining where she was and telling him to come pick her up as soon as possible.
In his car, authorities found the string with which he tied the hands of his victims, along with audio cassettes and a CD player with Céline's voice recorded on them.
The first day by slashing the veins of his left arm, the second by slashing his carotid artery, the third by banging his head against a wall and the fourth by trying to hang himself with the toilet chain in the bathroom, which broke.
Bruno attempt to make the court pity him, because he was in mourning: his concubine, Stéphanie Baudin, had been found dead at home on June 9.
His defense tried to mitigate the circumstances through the child abuse, during which Blanche received no love or care, with his ultra-violent farm worker father punished his children harshly.
In June 2006, Jean-Luc Blanche was sentenced to life imprisonment with a 22-year mandatory prison sentence by the Charleville-Mézièrs cour d'assises.
It was organised by the Xiamen Dada group, one of the more radical avant-garde groups that emerged in China in the 1980s.
The exhibition took place in the then Xiamen People's Art Museum (now The Cultural Centre of Xiamen) in Xiamen, Fujian Province, from September 28 to October 5, 1986.
The exhibition marked the art group Xiamen Dada's entrance into contemporary Chinese art history and was later transformed into an initiating exhibition in a three-stage event organized by Xiamen Dada in 1986.
Critiques also explicitly link the exhibition with political movements like the Cultural Revolution and the May Fourth Movement when commenting on the exhibition as a spiritual extension of reflections and critiques on Chinese culture.
Both concepts make their names as the utmost candid and profound — not in terms of the aesthetics, but in terms of the impossibility of the real, and extreme doubt and distrust.” The anti-art sentiment would be echoed in the exhibition, and the exhibition would later be characterized as a radical anti-art action in media coverages and critiques.
These include: Huang Yongping, Lin Chun (林春), Ji Tairan (纪泰然), Jiao Yaoming (焦耀明), Lin Jiahua (林嘉华), Cai Lixiong (蔡立雄), Yu Xiaogang (余晓刚), Chen Chengzong (陈承宗), Li Xiang (李翔), Li Yaonian (李跃年), Huang Ping (黄平), Wu Yanping (吴燕萍), Liu Yiling (刘一菱).
Silent Energy: New Art from China was an exhibition of contemporary Chinese art at The Museum of Modern Art in Oxford, England, from 27 June to 24 October 1993.
The exhibition showcased specially commissioned artworks by eight Chinese artists, seven of whom were living outside of the People's Republic in 1993.
The artists shown were considered to have made important contributions to the development of the Chinese avant-garde and the ‘redefinition of the identity of Chinese contemporary art’ in the context of increasing globalism.
Hou Hanru identified ‘Subversion’, ‘Transcendence of the body’ and ‘The deconstruction of the self and the Other’ as three main themes that unified the artworks in the show.

The distinction between soul and spirit in Quran and the traditions has rarely been considered by commentators, so that these two words are used interchangeably and synonymously.
However, some theologians and scholars of religious scripture insist on the difference between the soul and the spirit and their order of existence.
This difference in philosophical discussions is of little concern because of its specific applications, but in Quranic culture the distinction is debatable.
There are many reasons that have made this topic less controversial but the most important ones are the lack of scientific evidences, and the dispersion of ideas.
The discussions on the epistemology of soul have given rise to many fields of study from ethics, psychology, education, and philosophy to commentary of Qur'anic verses and relevant hadiths among which philosophical speculations have a special place.
The majority of Muslim philosophers, including Mulla Sadra (1571–1640), never believed that the soul is divided as it is distinct from the spirit.
Sadra's ontological views about the creation of soul were sharply in contrast with the assumptions of Greek philosophers who considered the spirit as a primordial-immaterial and heavenly existent.
In Sadraic philosophy the soul is defined bodily in its origination such that it is created along with the creation of the body.
Sadra denied the existence of the soul before the body and tried to hold this view in spite of the counter-evidences from the Hadith.
In his more recent studies the psychologist Ahmad Zumurrudian has recognized that there is a distinction between the soul and the spirit, although more philosophical justifications still should be made to support the theory.
God created two connected worlds, the world of upper and lower, then combined the two worlds into the son of Adam...Adam testified that there is no god but God and created him with the soul and body and the spirit.
The spirit that does not leave him unless he leaves this world and the soul that he can see dreams and stations by it and body which will be corroded and returns to soil after death.
God created Adam as He wills...He created his flesh and blood, his bones, hair, and his body from soil and water; this is the beginning of the creation of Adam.
Then by the soul man can stand and sit, listen and see, learn and know what animals can know and beware of dangers.
By the spirit Adam knows right from wrong and guidance from error and he camouflages and learns and manages all of his affairs.
In Shi'a literature there are also a number of hadiths which exemplify prophets and imams as the most perfect models of creation, purporting that they have five independent spirits to guide them to the straight path.
The believers with four spirits are the second in position and disbelievers and animals are last in the chain with three spirits.
However, the former belongs only to the prophets who used it to judge when they lacked information for normal judgement, while the latter was breathed into all human beings.

The banded rudderfish is a species of the western Atlantic Ocean where it is found from Nova Scotia to Santos, São Paulo.
It is found over hard substrates in both inshore and offshore waters but it normally inhabits shallower water than its congeners.
The juveniles are found in association with floating mats of weed or debris, and have been known to follow sharks and other large fishes.
The Thomson Orogeny was a mountain building event from 510 to 495 million years in Gondwana, now situated mainly in the Australian state of Queensland.
The rocks deformed during the Thomson Orogeny, referred to as the Thomson Orogen, underlie most of western and central Queensland in Australia.
The rocks are mostly rich in quartz and metasedimentary, overlain by younger Mesozoic rocks and the Devonian backarc basin sediments of the Adavale Basin.
Detrital zircon dating of Thomson Orogen rocks indicates ages between 510 and 495 million years ago, spanning the Cambrian to the Devonian.
In the northern part of the Thomson Orogen, rifting in the late Neoproterozoic is recorded in the lower metamorphic rocks of the Anakie Province.
In the south, the Thomson Orogen borders the Lachlan Orogen, separated by the Olepoloko Fault in the west and the Louth-Eumarra Shear Zone in the east.
The Thomson Orogen extends east under the Bowen Basin and based on seismic reflection data, seems to the underlie the western edge of the New England Orogen.

Droughdool Mote (also spelled Droughduil) () is a Neolithic round mound in the parish of Old Luce, Wigtownshire, Dumfries and Galloway.
It has been suggested that the mound may have been used as a viewing platform for activities at Dunragit complex of monuments.
The most well known parallel the site has is Silbury Hill in Wiltshire, but is closer in size to the less well known sites at Conquer Barrow, Willy Howe and Wold Newton.
The mound was assumed to be a medieval mote for a castle, but is different in structure and location to the motes in the surrounding area.
In 2002, excavation and optically stimulated luminescence dating showed that the site was prehistoric, and probably placed within a date bracket associated with the Dunragit complex of monuments to the north.
The complex of Neolithic monuments at Dunragit was identified in 1992 by Marilyn Brown of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland from aerial photographs.
When these cropmarks were examined within the wider landscape, it was found that the Droughdool Mote was aligned on the entrance to the middle of three concentric rings at the Dunragit site.
While this alignment may be coincidental, other Neolithic flat topped mounds, such as Silbury Hill, Hatfield Barrow and Knowlton in Dorset, are also associated with nearby large enclosures.
A feature of these other sites, missing from Droughdool, is a ditch surrounding the mounds which was often filled with water.
However, during the Neolithic, the sea level was considerably higher than it is today and at high tide, an area between the mound and the Dunragit enclosure (the Whitecrook Basin) would have been inundated by sea.
In September 2005 he became research associate at the Institute of Mathematics and Systems Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and was promoted to researcher in 2011.

Roggero Musmeci Ferrari Bravo (2 March 1868 – 6 May 1937), known under the pen name ignis, was an Italian poet and playwright.
He soon chose to not pursue a career related to his degrees, but to devote his time to becoming a writer.
His literary output can be understood in the context of the anti-clerical tendencies during the Risorgimento and the fall of the Papal States.
During this period, a part of the Italian intelligentsia entertained the idea of returning to paganism as a viable way forward.
It tells the mythological story of the founding of Rome, from the origin of Romulus and Remus, to Romulus' ascencion to the heavens.
On 21 April 1914, Musmeci recited the play in his home to a small audience of invited bohemians and literary critics.
It received positive newspaper reviews and there were discussions about staging the play outdoors on the Palatine Hill, but Italy's entry in World War I ended those plans.
The play was published in print in 1929, the same year as Mussolini signed the Lateran Treaty, which ended the hopes of those who like Musmeci had wished to see a pagan re-emergence under fascism.

Dubrovinsky was born in the village of Pokrovskoye-Lipovets, in the Maloangelsk district of Orel, the second of four sons of a mechanic, who died in 1882, soon after the birth of the fourth son.
As a schoolboy in Kursk, Dubrovinsky joined a populist circle modelled on Narodnaya Volya, the group that assassinated the Tsar Alexander II, but later became a Marxist.
He was arrested in December 1897, as an organiser of a workers' circle in Moscow, and the following year was sentenced to four years exile in Siberia.
In 1902 he was moved to Astrakhan, where he made contact with the illegal newspaper Iskra, of which Lenin was the main organiser, and acted as its local distributor.
The Bolsheviks sent him to the naval base in Kronstadt, where, on 23 October, he addressed a crowd of thousands, who agreed resolution calling for better conditions for servicemen, and political demands for the overthrow of the monarchy and the creation of a democratic republic.
The following day, thousands demonstrated, and for a couple of days Kronstadt was under rebel control, but martial law was imposed and thousands arrested, though Dubrovinsky slipped past the police by pretending to be blind drunk.</ref> He moved to Moscow, where he took part in the armed rising in December.
He was a delegate to the Fifth Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party in London, in May 1907 - the last major gathering before the revolution at which both Bolsheviks and Mensheviks were present, and afterwards was elected to the 15 member Bolshevik Centre.
He was almost the only member of that Centre to back Lenin over the issue of armed robberies carried in Georgia by revolutionaries secretly directed by 'Koba' (later known as Stalin) to raise funds for the party, but he opposed Lenin over the question of whether to have a final break with the Mensheviks.
After the Congress, he returned to Russia to try to rebuild the party organisation, shattered by the defeat of the 1905 revolution.
He returned to Russian jurisdiction, hoping to unite the various illegal Marxist groups, but was arrested in Warsaw in November 1908, and was deported to Solvychegodsk, in north Russia, in iron fetters that left deep wounds in his legs.
Dubrovinsky returned to Russia, where he was arrested for the final time in June 1910, and exiled to Turukhansk in Siberia.
June, he drowned in the Yenisei River - ironically around the time when he stood a chance of being released under an amnesty to mark the Romanov Tercentenary.
There is no doubt that if Dubrovinsky had lived a few years longer, he would have played a major role in the early years of Bolshevik rule in Russia.

Langya Commandery () was a commandery in historical China from Qin dynasty to Tang dynasty, located in present-day southeast Shandong and northeast Jiangsu.
From 181 BC to 180 BC, Langya briefly served as the fief of Liu Ze (劉澤), who became the king of Yan after the Lü Clan Disturbance.
In 41 AD, the territory was converted to a kingdom/principality and granted to Liu Jing (劉京), son of the Emperor Guangwu.
Jing's descendants held the kingdom until 217 AD, when the last prince of the lineage was killed by Cao Cao and Langya was converted back to a commandery.
In 140, Langya administered 13 counties, namely Kaiyang (開陽), Dongwu (東武), Langya (琅邪), Dongguan (東莞), Xihai (西海), Zhu (諸), Ju (莒), Dong'an (東安), Yangdu (陽都), Linyi (臨沂), Jiqiu (即丘), Zeng (繒), and Gumu (姑幕).
After the death of Zhou, Langya passed to his son Jin (覲), and then to Jin's son Rui, the future Emperor Yuan of Jin.
Francois Arago ordered this telescope from the telescope making firm Lebreours in 1839, and after a protracted development was completed by 1855.
It has gone by a variety of names having to do with various aspects of the telescope, such as its aperture, or location on the East tower of the Paris observatory, or its equatorial mount made by Brunner.
The telescope is known to have been used for observing double stars, minor planets (asteroids), and also some photographic astronomy in the late 19th century.
When it made its debut in the late 1850s, it was noted for its 38 cm (15 inch) Lerebours objective, Brunner mount, and there was some discussion over its use for astro photography.
On June 23, 1878 the East Equatorial of Paris Observatory (the Arago) was first used for photometric detection of an eclipse of Jupiter's moons.
The Paris Observatory building was significantly modified to support the weight of the new telescope and dome, and modifications included a new cement support structure and a steel lattice to hold the new telescope.
In December 2005, he was appointed chair of the Commission on Filipinos Overseas, staying in the post until 30 June 2010.
In April 2019, he published an article which claimed there were plans to oust Duterte, accusing several media and legal groups of destabilization attempts.
It is one of the important neighborhood in Visakhapatnam city.It is under the administration of Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation and have so many commercial shops including District Court of Visakhapatnam.
The British National Individual Sprint Championships are held annually as part of the British National Track Championships organised by British Cycling.
It provides MR imaging to the patient in-time and on-site, for example, in Intensive care unit (ICU) where there is danger associated with moving the patient, in an ambulance, after a disaster rescue, or in a field hospital/medical tent.
The superconducting magnet is one of the main sources to supply a homogeneous main static magnetic field (B0) for MR imaging.
Normally it ranges from 1 T to 7 T. To obtain mobility for a conventional MRI scanner that uses a superconducting magnet to supply B0, it is placed in a trailer..
The magnetic field strength of such a mobile MRI scanner is within the range of 1.5 T to 3 T. The weight of the scanner is the same as one sited in a hospital and the price is higher than a traditional one in the hospital, which is due to the mobility added to the scanner.
To supply a homogeneous B0 within an FoV of 40-50 cm for a body scan, a PMA, usually in a C-shape or an H-shape, goes up to a room size and is heavy.
The field strength is usually below 0.5 T. Siemens has a product, MAGNETOM C, which has a magnetic field of 0.35 T for a body scan.
When the concept of body dedication is applied to a PMA-based system where the magnet and other apparatus are built around a targeted body-part under imaging (e.g.
Using a PMA to supply a homogeneous B0 and relying on linear gradient fields supplied by gradient coils cannot give us a PMA with portability and a relatively large imaging volume simultaneously.
Allowing magnetic field that has non-linear gradients to encode the signal for imaging leads to the possibility of having a relatively light PMA (tens to hundreds of kgs) and a relatively large FoV (15-25 DSV) at the same time .
An Inward-outward (IO) ring pair array supplies a magnetic field that points in the longitudinal direction which allows the application of the advancement of RF coils to the system.
In July 1921, San Fernando Borough Council called a public meeting at Carnegie Library, the result of which was a unanimous request for elected representation.
Within a few years, the British authorities agreed to a partly elected legislative council, although with voting limited to a restricted franchise.
The reorganised Legislative Council had 12 official members (civil servants), six nominated members, seven elected members and the Governor, who served as the legislature's speaker.
The franchise was limited to people who owned property in their constituency with a rateable value of $60 (or owned property elsewhere with a rateable value of $48) and tenants or lodgers who paid the same sums in rent.
The restrictions on candidates were more severe, with candidature limited to men that lived in their constituency, were literate in English, and owned property worth at least $12,000 or from which they received at least $960 in rent a year.
Three of the seven elected members – Arthur Andrew Cipriani, Charles Henry Pierre and Albert Victory Stollmeyer – were supported by the Trinidad Workingmens' Association, as was the losing candidate in Tobago, Isaac Hope.
Luc Tangorre (born 1959), known as the Marseille Southern Districts Rapist, is a French serial rapist whose crimes were highly publicized in France.
He has been sentenced twice, the first time in 1983, to 15 years imprisonment for nine sexual assaults and rapes committed in Marseille.
She closed her car, took a few steps towards her home and then noticed a strange man, who immediately threatened her with a weapon and forced her to go back into the vehicle with him.
Under the threat of what turns out to be a fake revolver, Sylviane entered the car and drove around the streets of Marseille with her kidnapper, stopping on a path upon request of the latter.
There, the man raped her and then forced her to bring him back to the residence where, it seemed, his moped was.
She made a facial composite of her rapist (20–25 years old, wore white sneakers and a dark jacket), learning that she, in fact, had not been the only one to do so: between late 1979 and April 1981, nine other young women had reported being sexually assaulted in the 8th and 9th arrondissements.
On April 12, a patrol of Marseille peacekeepers intercepted a man matching the composite sketch drawn by Sylviane, coupled with the fact that he behaved suspiciously.
They called him for an identity check: his name was Luc Tangorre, he was 22 years old, a sports student, had a Citroën 2CV, and claimed that he was waiting for a friend to come.
Sylviane came down to the police station so she could identify him, she believed to have recognized a man on the photo montage.
The other assaulted women also come the station, and some of them formally recognized Tangorre, while others either hesitated or weren't sure.
Tangorre denied everything, pointing out that he was the only aged 20 to 25, wore white tennis shoes and shorter than 1,70 cm.
The police searched his home the next day, and found a dummy revolver containing some dried mud, a moped and a khaki raincoat, crowned with suspicious spots.
Authorities then went to the edge monument of the Morgiou parking lot, where the rapist had assaulted victims Béatrice and Dominique in December 1980 and February 1981, to take samples from the ground to compare with those found on the dummy found at Tangorre's home.
Moreover, one of the victims said that the attacker had brandished a revolver before raping her, and others testified that he had a small box of petroleum jelly in his pockets.
A controversy over the choice of barium arose, as the plastic revolver itself was made of that material, with the samples the rape scene of victim Aline.
Following identification from some of the assaulted women and the evidence against him, Luc Tangorre was referred before an examining magistrate and locked up.
When friends and family learned what had happened to Luc, nobody believed the accusations: everyone described him as a simple, kind and considerate man, who could never do such things.
The case became so well-publicized, that even intellectuals began to defend Luc Tangorre, including historian Pierre Vidal-Naquet, writers Marguerite Duras and Françoise Sagan, and the politicians Robert Badinter, Albin Chalandon, Jean-Claude Gaudin and Dominique Baudis.
His family and friends firmly believed in his acquittal, with his defense being provided by Anne and Jean Dissler, François Chevallier and Paul Lombard.
Of the seventeen alleged victims of Luc Tangorre, who were assaulted between December 6, 1979 and April 10, 1981, five victims testified before the cour d'assises.
Their testimonies weighed heavily, while Tangorre defended himself by presenting alibis that could be hardly be proven or emanated from his entourage: among others, on the evening that he supposedly raped Sylviane, he was hospitalized.
The verdict of Luc Tangorre's trial was handed on May 24, when he was sentenced, including extenuating circumstances, to 15 years imprisonment.
Between December 1984 and February 1988, Tangorre was incarcerated at the Muret detention center, where, with the help of his parents, he attempted to get a retrial.
The request for review was based on counter-expertise from across the country, which called into question the conclusions of the first examiners.
On July 21, 1987, after the rejection of an appeal in cassation, Tangorre obtained a presidential pardon from François Mitterrand, but only a partial one, which reduced his sentence to four years.
A cohort of journalists were present during his exit, during which he made a statement signifying the continuation of his fight.
Coming from Paris so they could hitchhike on the Côte d'Azur for the weekend of May 21 and 22, 1988, 20-year-old Jennifer Mac Luney and 21-year-old Carol Ackermann, American students in Paris, went to Marseille at first, before moving to a beach in Les Sablettes in La Seyne-sur-Mer.
On May 23, they hitchhiked again to return to the capital, where they were taking advanced French courses in an American college.
They were standing at the outskirts of Marseille when a man driving Renault 4, aged 30, with brown hair and a friendly demeanor, offered to bring them to Lyon.
Shortly before Nîmes, the man claimed that he wanted to go pick cherries, so he deviated from the main route and stopped his apple-green 4L in an isolated cherry plantation, located about three kilometers from Nîmes.
There, under the threat of a weapon, he raped them for a long time, sodomizing them with engine oil to make things easier.
After walking through the fields for 35 minutes, they found a highway terminal, where they called the police, reporting that they had been raped.
When the police questioned the American students, they revealed that they had an excellent memory: they accurately described the green 4L (license plate, a missing handle, the gas gauge not working) in which they were violated, the physique of the individual (in his 30s, wearing a yellow Lacoste polo shirt, a signet ring, white jeans and gray/black sneakers).
In addition, they said that there was a pile of books in the trunk of the 4L, on which there were the words 'guilt' or 'guilty' and the face of a mustachioed man on the cover page; also, when the perpetrator saw the girls looking at the books, he quickly covered the pile with a blanket before raping them.
The gendarmes again became interested in Luc Tangorre, learning that he lived in Lyon, where he ran a tobacco shop on the Place Carnot, on Marigny, bought after his release with the help of his parents.
On letters of rogatory, Christian Lernould, investigating judge at the court of Nîmes, ordered the gendarmes to bring in Tangorre for questioning on October 24.
When arrested by the gendarmerie at Lyon, he shouted out his innocence when the police informed him that he was accused of two rapes.
Luc claimed on the day of the day of the rapes it was Pentecost, and that he was at his parents' house for a family dinner after a baptism; he apparently remembered it very well, because it was the first family party since his release.
He then said that he slept at his parents' house and noted his activities in his notebook, an alibi backed by his family and friends.
To prove his innocence, Tangorre's parents even gave the police photos of the baptism: to their stupefication, in the photos, Luc was wearing jeans, the yellow Lacoste polo shirt and the gray/black sneakers, as described by the two girls.
The police made the trip to Marseille-Nîmes to find out if Luc Tangorre could have the necessary time to violate the two students.
Modeled on the fluctuating declarations of the Americans, no less than four thirty-month retrospective trajectory trials were necessary to be conducted, taking into account the claims by the girls.
Tangorre's five lawyers challenged the honesty of the fourth trial, and gave reasons in writing as to why they refused to participate.
As soon as he was arrested, Tangorre asked the gendarmes and the judge for a genetic comparison based on the samples, as quickly as possible.
Nevertheless, the evidence taken from both Mac Luney and Ackermann, which should logically exonerate Tangorre if tampered with or simply fixed, was rare and altered, which destroys all possibility of exploitation.
Luc Tangorre was brought before the examining magistrate, while the two girls made the express trip from the United States to identify him.
However, the claims about the rear seats of the green 4L on which the girls were raped were unusable, along with the claim that the gas tank had run 40 km as described by the accusers (it was not conclusively proven after the investigation), which weakened the credibility of the accusations.
Tangorre argued that it was impossible to remain a virgin after the type of rape Ackermann had suffered, and that Mac Luney could not reasonably explain by what miracle she could, eight weeks after the fact, reproduce from memory the design of the jacket after her traumatic condition, with precision comparable to that of tracing.
However, he was incarcerated and imprisoned at the Nîmes prison, and when his supporters, most of whom had been with him since his first trial, learned about his possible involvement in the Nîmes rapes, a part of them began wondering who was responsible for raping the nine young women in Marseille.
In addition, Pierre Vidal-Naquet, who believed in his innocence in the first instance, said that if it turns out that Tangorre is guilty, he would publicly apologize.
As for Luc, he denounced in vain a fictitious accusation, intended to artificially ruin the efforts which previously lead to the review of the first trial.
The second trial of Luc Tangorre began on February 3, 1992, before the cour d'assises of Gard and Nîmes, under presiding Justice Maurice Malleval.
Like in the first trial, Tangorre defended himself viciously, but Ackermann and Mac Luney's testimony weighed heavily on the balance, after they claimed and confirmed that it was indeed Luc Tangorre who had raped them.
The verdict of the second trial was announced on February 8, and Luc Tangorre was sentenced, with extenuating circumstances, to 18 years imprisonment.
Domiciled in the Lyon area, since his release from prison in 2000, Luc Tangorre became the talk of the town again on August 12, 2014, when he was indicted in Grau-du-Roi, on suspicion of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old child.
The case experienced ramifications, as two other minors joined in the indictment, bringing the total number to three assaults in Gard.
Luc Tangorre was left free, with a travel ban on Gard, although the Nîmes Procurate required that he be placed in provisional custody.
On September 12, 2019, the Nîmes Correctional Tribunal sentenced Luc Tangorre to three and a half years for sexually assaulting three minors between July 1, 2012 and July 19, 2019.
His civil and civic rights were withdrawn for a period of five years, and after he was convicted of rape six times, he continues to proclaim himself a victim of a miscarriage of justice.
It is a tree that can reach up to 15 meters high, has a crooked trunk that is a characteristic of the vegetation of the high Andean forests.
Its leaves are lemon green and pale green on the underside and its texture is similar to that of cardboard paper.
It is distributed in the Andean forest areas at a height of between 2400-3400 meters above sea level; in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
This species is of great importance in ecological restoration due to its high rate of foliar exchange, its association with fungi (mycorrhizae) and nitrogen fixing bacteria.
Its wood is used in construction and as fuel for wood furnaces, the tree has tannins in its bark, used in tanneries; from its fruits a violet dye is obtained that can be used in handicraft work.

It was most likely created for King Henry IV of France with other bronzes as a diplomatic gift from Ferdinando I de’ Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, to embellish the gardens of the Royal castle in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
To enhance the erotic attraction of the female nude, the artist has contrived that the goddess hides her face behind her raised arm holding up a vessel, with which she is bathing.
The beholder can approach her without entering her line of sight and when he is in front of her there is a moment of reciprocal discovery.
The seated statue is a second remodelled and rethought version of a marble Venus by the same artist, today in the J. Paul Getty Museum.
The bronze Venus was rediscovered in the late 1980s in the possessions of a scrap-metal dealer near Paris, who seems to have obtained it from the demolition of the Château of Chantemesle (Corbeil-Essonnes) in the early 1960s.
It was at first dismissed as a later copy after the Getty Venus, but recent research has argued its autograph authorship by Giambologna.
The bronze Venus shows stylistic features that cannot be found on the Getty marble but do appear on many other large bronzes in Giambologna’s oeuvre.
The garment of the bronze Bathing Venus was left unfinished in parts on purpose, in order to create variety and contrasts of texture.
Use of ‘unfinished’ (non-finito) passages is a stylistic device that Giambologna adopted from Donatello and which he used for his bronze sculptures throughout his career.
Its appearance on a figure made by the Florentine court sculptor is explained by its destination as a diplomatic gift to the king of France.
TL-dating of the core material has shown with a probability of 99.7% that the casting of the bronze took place before 1648.
Tests were carried out by the Rathgen Research Laboratory of the Berlin State Museums, commissioned by the J. Paul Getty Museum, later confirmed by Oxford Authentication, Wantage, and re-checked by Professor Ernst Pernicka at the Curt-Engelhorn-Center for Archaeometry in Mannheim.
Gerhardt Meyer was a member of a well-known dynasty of founders, working around the Baltic Sea in Riga, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Helsingör between the late 16th and the late 18th century.
Several generations of the family bore the Christian name Gerhardt and they all signed with the same traditional formula: ME FECIT GERHARDT MEYER.
The Latin wording of the founder’s signature on the bronze Venus contains an obvious mistake by apparently stating that the statue was created in Stockholm.
In 1597 the statue cannot have been made in Stockholm (Latin: Holmia), as its casting model could only have been in Florence.
The formula of the signature must be considered like a present-day marque, as confirmed by A. Zaijc (Austrian Academy of Science) and Charles Avery, which the craftsman punched routinely with a pre-existing set of punches.
Craftsmen and artists were usually ignorant of Latin, and in this case this is demonstrated by Meyer giving the casting date in his mother tongue German instead of in Latin.
The same error occurs in the signatures of Giambologna and of one of his foremost pupils, Pietro Francavilla, when they want to state their Flemish origin (Latin: BELGĀ), but erroneously indicate that the figures in question have been made ‘in Belgium’ (Latin: BELGIAE) instead of their real place of manufacture, Florence.
The reason for this is a casting fault underneath, a so-called Lunker, which made the material so thin in this spot that punching in a letter would have created a hole.
This Lunker one can see with the naked eye and has been further proved by a computer-tomography made by the Fraunhofer Institut (Fürth).
Up to the 18th century there existed two equivalent forms of the number 5: one with and one without stroke on the top.
The first publication of the bronze Venus, in the Catalogue of Italian Sculpture in the J. Paul Getty Museum, was based on her opinion, even though it had already at the time been contradicted by the technical data made available by the Getty Research Institute.
The marble Venus today in the J. Paul Getty Museum was a Medici gift to the Bavarian court made before 1584.
Around 1700 a number of simplified aftercasts of the marble were made in metal and plaster, of which six are known today.
Around 1700 a later member of the Meyer family of founders, known through a number of documents, was active in Stockholm.
He had been sent by the King of Sweden to Paris as an apprentice to the most famous founder of the time, Jean-Balthazar Keller, in order to learn the technique of figure casting.
The technical explanation she has given of the way this might have happened has been disproved by A. Rudigier in a reply to her article in the The Burlington Magazine.
The quality of the bronze makes it impossible to put it into the same group as the known Swedish aftercasts of around 1700.
The bronze Venus has markedly varied surface textures, clearly differentiating hair, body and cloth in a naturalistic way – typical features of late Renaissance bronze art in Florence, but by 1700 completely out of fashion in Baroque bronze sculpture.
Diemer has no explanation why the artist who modelled the bronze Venus, if he were active in Stockholm around 1700, would produce a very expensive bronze work with features entirely out of fashion at the time.
In particular she has no explanation how such a hypothetical artist should have been able to match Giambologna’s bronze style, as it could not be deduced from the marble, down to the smallest detail.
It is also documented that Keller, the master of Gerhardt Meyer IV stated that his training had been so incomplete that he had not learnt how to cast monumental figures.
In the catalogue entry the director of the Uffizi and curator of the exhibition, Eike D. Schmidt calls the bronze Bathing Venus a masterpiece of 16 c. Italian art.
In his entry in the catalogue regarding the argument over the attribution between Diemer and Rudigier in the Burlington Magazine he considers Diemer’s hypothesis as entirely disproved.
In the article Diemer accused Eike D. Schmidt to have significantly increased the market value of the piece by exhibiting it in the Pitti show.
In 1989, he helped found the CPNT political party in France, acting as the chairman for nine years before being charged in 1998 for embezzlement.
This list comprises all players who have played for Los Angeles FC which dates from the team's inaugural Major League Soccer season in 2018 to present.
Overseas players are exempt from counting towards this total if they have permanent residency rights in the U.S. (green card holder), other special dispensation such as refugee or asylum status, or qualify under the Homegrown International Rule.
The killings occurred between January 1981 and October 1983 in Los Angeles' West Side, which earned Tholmer the nickname of The West Side Rapist.
He is known to have been born in 1949 into an African-American family in New Orleans, Louisiana, and showed signs of an intellectual disability early in life.
As a result, he left his home in the late 1950s and began to live a vagrant lifestyle in the company of other street children.
Since 1960, Tholmer has been repeatedly arrested for various offences over the next few years, and spent several years in institutions for juvenile delinquents, where he was subjected to physical and sexual abuse by the other teenagers, because of which he developed a mental disorder and began to show signs of paraphilia.
In the early 1970s, Brandon moved to Los Angeles, where for several years he was forced to engage in low-skilled labor.
On the basis of a forensic medical examination, he was declared insane and was sent off for compulsory treatment in the Patton State Hospital.
Tholmer came under suspicion at the end of October 1983, for the murders of 82-year-old Lucille Pyle and 72-year-old Mary Pauquette, and as a result, police began surveiling him on November 2nd.
He was arrested five days later, after he was caught trying to break into the house of 85-year-old Irene Rogers, who was paralyzed.
After the arrest Tholmer's apartment was searched, from which more than 200 pieces of jewelry, watches, photographs and other small items were found, whom were later identified by the relatives of 34 elderly women who had died between the period of January 1981 and October 1983.
Most of the victims lived alone in the Hollywood area, not far from Downtown Los Angeles, about one half of a kilometer from where Brandon Tholmer resided.
On the basis of this evidence, in January 1984, Brandon was charged with the murder of Mary Pauquette (killed on September 12, 1983); 80-year-old Rose Lederman (killed in August 1981); 69-year-old Wollomooloo Woodcock (strangled in August 1982); 76-year-old Lorraine Wells and 70-year-old Dorothy Fain in May and August 1983, respectively.
He was also charged with sodomy, arson, the rape of a 38-year-old woman in August 1981 and the attempted attack on Rogers.
Despite the fact that the investigators found evidence of Tholmer's involvement in at least seven other murders, he was not charged with any of them.
In addition to physical evidence, fingerprints belonging to Tholmer were found at the crime scenes, with the prosecution presenting more than 100 witnesses.
A number of Brandon's friends and acquaintances stated that he had repeatedly shown signs of gerontophilia, trying to get to know older women in two supermarkers where his girlfriend worked, and where he spent a lot of his free time.
Some of them also told the court that he periodically would find temporary work in the evening or at night, setting off to an unknown location to do it.
Tholmer himself could not give an explanation for this, and was also unable to provide an alibi on the dates of the murders.
The defense lawyers emphasized on the bullying their client was subjected to in his childhood, which ultimately led to mental, emotional and behavioral problems.
Tholmer was spared the death penalty, and in November, he was instead given several consecutive life sentences, without the chance of parole.
As of December 2019, the 69-year-old Brandon Tholmer is still alive, and continues to serve his sentence at the California Medical Facility, due to multiple health-related problems.
The song was composed in time and is performed in the key of G major in common time with a tempo of 140 beats per minute.
It was filmed in the semi-desserts of Bardenas Reales, Spain and directed by Richard Paris Wilson from We Are Cowboys whereby he additionally acted as the director of photography.
Barbara Cooper (born 1949) is an American artist whose practice encompasses abstract sculpture, public and installation art, drawing and set design.
She is most known for her sculpture, which emphasizes process, handcraft, and its basis in natural forms and processes of transformation, such as growth, protection and regeneration.
Cooper has exhibited at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (MCA), Hafnarfjördur Centre of Culture and Fine Art (Iceland), and Bellevue Arts Museum, and been commissioned for public art works in cities including Chicago, Toledo, and Providence.
She studied fiber art at the Cleveland Institute of Art (BFA, 1974) and Cranbrook Academy of Art (MFA, 1977), before turning to sculpture influenced by artists such as Eva Hesse Jackie Winsor, and Giuseppe Penone and the Arte Povera movement.
After graduating, she headed Syracuse University's fiber department, before moving to Bozeman, Montana in 1979 for a position teaching sculpture and drawing at Montana State University.
In 1986, she relocated to Chicago, where she has taught at the Art Institute of Chicago (1987–2009) and Harper College (1988–2001).
During her first decade of professional exhibition, Cooper was featured in solo shows at the Yellowstone Art Museum (1985), Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland (1985) and Artemisia Gallery (Chicago, 1987, 1988), and group shows at the Evanston Art Center, Hyde Park Art Center and Randolph Street Gallery, among others.
Critics often relate Cooper's work to postminimalist sculptors such as Magdalena Abakanowicz, Eva Hesse, Lenore Tawney and Jackie Winsor, who merged feminist concerns with process, the organic and craft with minimalist codes of repetition, geometric purity, and restraint.
Writers also place her among a second generation of organic sculptors (including Joan Livingstone and Sheri Simons) who brought a new conceptual orientation and reductive elegance to fiber-related work, or liken her art to that of Martin Puryear.
Cooper's work across media is united by several common themes: its basis in and abstraction of natural forms, temporal systems and patterns; a sense of movement that includes gesture, line and the activation of space; and its exploration of process and diverse materials.
In her mature, post-1987 work, Cooper employs working methods derived from both her early fiber training—plaiting and the organic, linear build of spinning and weaving—and studies of accretive natural phenomena, such as animal architecture, the growth of trees, or geological forces.
After moving to Chicago in 1987, Cooper began working with veneer scraps recycled from woodworking factories; the material connected her art to the greater ecological whole through a life cycle of extraction from nature, industrial processing and discard, and transformation into organic aesthetic forms.
Her process involved methodically bending and layering the fragile veneer in loose, interlaced weaves that created undulating, penetrable skins or shell-like armor around hollow, biomorphic cores: cocoon, spiral, bulb, limb, vessel and nest forms.
In the late 1990s, critics identified a new intensity and frankness in Cooper's sculpture, which often features commanding, larger-than-human scaled tree-, column- or torso-like forms that express themes of vulnerability, healing, and ecological threat.
Still influenced by natural building processes—the outward, ringed growth of trees, layering of cells in an embryo, bundling of fibers into muscle, or accretive forming of shells—this work incorporated new methods (dappled, fish-scale-like surfaces, visible drips of sap-like glue) and materials (junked automotive parts and cast steel) that conflate the organic and fabricated.
Residencies in Iceland in 2000 and 2003 took Cooper's work in a new direction, as she explored the fluid dynamics of geological forces such as lava flows and earthquakes.
That work led to a series of multi-sectioned sculptures cast in iron from clay slabs, in which she varied organic, terrain-like surfaces with smooth cut edges to suggest landscape tensions between nature and human development.
Throughout her career, Cooper has created and exhibited drawings that function as parallel works rather than studies, and reveal her sculpture's dependence on line, gesture and fluidity.
In later drawings, Cooper has sought to remove evidence of her hand in collage works that incorporate scanned and Photoshopped material or collected pressed leaves.
In 2013, she collaborated with choreographer Jan Bartoszek to create ASCENDance, a fifty-minute multimedia dance work that features dancers manipulating large, origami-based sculptural elements, an entirely new form for Cooper.
Cooper's work is in many public and private art collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Long Beach Museum of Art, Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest, Columbus Museum of Art, Contemporary Museum Honolulu, Cranbrook Art Museum, Illinois State Museum, Racine Art Museum, and Yellowstone Art Museum, among others.
Cooper has been recognized with grants from the National Endowment for the Arts (1994), Illinois Arts Council (three, 1988–2009) and City of Chicago (1991), and awarded artist residencies from the Wilderness Workshop, Bloedel Reserve, Museum of Copenhagen, Kohler Arts Center, Hafnarfjördur Centre, Camargo Foundation, MacDowell Colony, Ragdale, Montalvo Arts Center, and Yaddo, among others.
The Hugh Lake is a freshwater body crossed by the Métabetchouane River, in the unorganized territory of Lac-Croche, in the La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The surface of Lake Hugh is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March.
This lake is mainly fed by the outlet of Lake Lavoie, Métabetchouane River, the outlet of Lakes Rocand, Apollon and Esculape, the outlet of the second lake Demuth and Demuth, the outlet of Lake Douve.
This lake has a narrowing in its middle because of a peninsula attached to the south shore which stretches to the northwest on one from the other.
Lansing Colton Holden Sr. (March 2, 1858 – May 15, 1930) was an American architect of the late 19th & early 20th centuries with several works in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
He served on many committees and was lar­gely re­s­pon­si­ble for the its code of ethics in its pre­sent form, and served as.pre­si­dent of the New York Chap­ter.
He was a mem­ber of the Board of Ex­ami­ners of the City of New York in 1916, a mem­ber of the Board of Stan­dards and Ap­peals in 1916 – 18, and a di­rec­tor of the En­gi­neers Club.
It is believed that he also designed several textile mill buildings in New England but no record of these has been found.
Étienne Troy, born Toulouse 21 July 1844, died Paris 3 June 1909 was a French baritone opera singer who took numerous small roles in Paris for over 40 years and was later a stage manager at the Opéra-Comique.
The son of a hatter, Troy studied singing at the Paris Conservatoire where in 1864 he won the first prize in the opéra-comique competition.
Troy became a member of the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire in 1893, retiring in 1904 and thus becoming an honorary member.
He was the younger brother of Eugène Troy (1836-71), a bass who followed a short but successful career at the same theatres.
In 1892, while participating in a tennis tournament at Niagara Falls, Ontario, Malcolm Greene Chace was introduce to the Canadian pastime of ice hockey.
While he was attending Yale University, Chace put together a team of fellow collegians from his alma mater as well as Brown, Columbia and Harvard that embarked on a 10-game tour in Canadian cities around southern Quebec and Ontario during the winter of 1894–95.
The following year, Chace was able to put together a team of Yale students and organize four games for them to play during the spring semester.
The second and third games played by Yale were played against Johns Hopkins University and are credited with being the first two intercollegiate ice hockey games played by American universities.
College ice hockey in the United States predates the existence of any formal governing body but when the precursor to the NCAA was created in 1906 ice hockey was far too regional new for it to receive much attention.
For most of the first half of the 20th century the colleges themselves were allowed to set the terms for which teams they could participate against and who would be declared champion at the end of the season.
Prior to the conclusion of World War I virtually all ice hockey programs were located at universities in the Northeastern United States making the task of determining the champion a fairly easy task.
The third seeds Jack Crawford and Gar Moon defeated fourth-seeded Harry Hopman and Gerald Patterson 4–6, 6–4, 12–10, 6–3 in the final, to win the Men's Doubles tennis title at the 1932 Australian Championships.
With the final shot of the match he put away, Crawford completed his Triple Crown, having won Men's Singles and Mixed Doubles titles earlier that day.
The list is organized by the region and country of the organization that gives the award, but some awards are open to international competitors.
Born in Bochum, Budde studied piano and school music at the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg where he passed his state examination in 1961.
After subsequent studies in musicology and Germanistic at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, he received his doctorate in 1967 with a thesis on the early Anton Webern.
In 1972 he was appointed Professor of musicology at the State University of Music and Performing Arts in Berlin (today: Berlin University of the Arts).
His areas of research include the history of musical composition from the Middle Ages to the present; the music of the 19th and 20th centuries, the history of performance practice and interpretation and questions and problems of the interdisciplinary (music - painting - architecture) and finally the music of Franz Schubert.
Reviewers praised the game for its innovative combat mechanics, complex character skill system, and large modding community, but also criticized it for its repetitive quests, dialogues, and locations, as well as low graphics quality.
The player is able to join one of the factions, fight as a mercenary, assume the role of an outlaw, or take a neutral side.
He attended McQuaid Jesuit High School in Rochester, New York, where he was named Mr. New York Basketball after his senior year.

Maire Quinn (9 June 1872 – 21 August 1947) was an Irish actress and republican activist, and one of the founding members of the Irish National Theatre Society.
Maire Quinn was born Mary Quinn to Michael Quinn and Margaret Roden in County Fermanagh, but sometimes referred to as Maire T. Quinn or Mary Teresa Quinn.
She was one of the founding members of Inghinidhe na hÉireann, being appointed its executive secretary by Maud Gonne, the society's president.
The members demanded that he answer the rumors that he would give the welcome address at the impending visit of King Edward VII.
Quinn defended Maud Gonne's house in Rathgar after Gonne hung a black flag after the death of Pope Leo XIII during the royal visit.
Members of the Inghinidhe broadly tried to avoid altercations with the police, but on one flag-burning incident, Gonne and Quinn almost were imprisoned for a night.
Kelly to perform at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, but she objected to the stage-Irish of some of the earlier acts on the bill by striking.
After this point, Quinn's acting career declined, while her husband continued to act and direct with the New York Theatre Guild and in film.
Quinn was travelling by boat their summer home on Fire Island when she took ill, dying 21 August 1947 in a hospital on Long Island.
At the same time worked freelance for the Royal Opera House (ROH), before formerly joining as Head of Digital Media in 2008.
She led the ROH in being one of the first cultural institutions on YouTube, as well as developing content to make opera more accessible.
In 2009 Coldicutt and the ROH stage an opera through Twitter, encouraging people to submit 140 character tweets to form a new libretto.
In 2011 Coldicutt and Katy Beale founded Caper, a creative agency that made content for the Southbank Centre and Royal Shakespeare Company.
Having identified that UK tech workers frequently leave their jobs due to ethical concerns, Coldicutt argued that there is a business case for making developing more ethical tech products.
There are almost one hundred organisations in the United Kingdom that look to regulate technology and data, but they are not well connected to other sectors, and scandals such as Cambridge Analytica's interference with political campaigns increase public distrust.
Coldicutt was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 2020 New Year Honours for her services to technology.
Set in the west of Scotland during the 1950s, the novel follows fifteen-year-old Duncan Logan as he leaves school to work on a farm.

Columbia University and Pennsylvania University fielded teams for the first time but with only four programs in existence most games were played against non-college opponents.
As part of the 1960 Irish local elections, all 21 seats on Cork City Council were contested on 29 June, with counting of votes beginning on 30 June and concluded in the early hours of 3 July.
This was the last time the entire county borough of Cork formed a single local electoral area (LEA), with 63 single transferable vote counts necessary to process the 72 candidates.
Electoral law empowered the Minister for Local Government to split county boroughs into multiple LEAs only if the council requested, which Cork City Council had not done.
The Electoral Act 1963 allowed the minister to act unilaterally and, after its 1965 boundary extension, the borough was divided into 6 LEAs in time for the 1967 local elections, with the larger parties increasing their proportion of seats.
Seán McCarthy, John Bermingham and Gus Healy were also elected to Cork County Council from the Cork Rural LEA which bordered the city.
He had one innings of note, when he scored 228 against the Gentlemen of England in 1907, which included thirty fours and a single six and contributed toward an opening stand of 338 with Hugh Teesdale.
With his slow bowling, Bowring took 20 wickets at a bowling average of 26.75 and best figures of 3 for 10.
A cricketer of great promise, he would have undoubtedly featured for Oxford in the 1909 season, had it not been for his death from blood poisoning in August 1908.
Prior to the advent of the NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament in 1948, the champion of college ice hockey in the United States was not officially decided, at least not according to the NCAA.
Inn the early years, naming a champion was a fairly easy task as there were few active teams and many played one another during the season.
Some upper-echelon schools formed an intercollegiate hockey league around the turn of the century and began playing one another on a consistent basis.
Due to this informal schedule the schools were able to declare a champion between the members and have that team serve as the de facto collegiate champion.
Several of the smaller schools, like Williams College or Union College were not considered for the championship for a few reasons, chief among which was that their level of competition usually did not raise to the standards of Harvard or Yale.
After World War I ice hockey teams began sprouting up across New England and the rust belt making the naming of an individual champion more difficult.
The race will be scheduled for 500 laps of the circuit, for a total of , with a time-certain finish of 23 hours from the green flag of the race.
With the addition of Brown University and Harvard University to the ice hockey ranks, the first ice hockey conference was formed and named the first unofficial collegiate champion.
After the school year ended, Johns Hopkins University became the first college to dissolve its ice hockey program, citing travel costs, disagreements between the rink managers, and lack of support from the student body.
Ratepayers' Association is a name used by a political party or electoral alliance contesting a local election to represent the interests of those who pay rates to the municipal government.
Rates are a property tax which provides a main source of funding for some local governments; the amount paid is usually proportional to the value of the property, and commercial premises may have higher rates than residences.
Therefore a Ratepayers' Association is typically supported by property owners rather than tenants, and by business owners in particular, and has a platform of value-for-money and avoiding wasteful municipal spending.
In the United Kingdom, local elections were on a ratepayer franchise until the 1910s, and Ratepayers' Associations remained prominent until the 1930s, when they lost ground to the three national parties; since the 1960s they have retained a role in scattered urban and suburban areas.
Hine worked there with the architect John Grovsner as his assistant from 1865 until 1877, and subsequently started his own practice.
Hine moved to Cape Town, South Africa in 1881, then to Bathurst, New South Wales in 1883, before settling in Perth, Western Australia, in 1895, where he remained until his death in January 1928.

Many ships would crowd in the banks of Inatganj Bazar, and go to many corners of the world, and evidence of this remains at the present high school.
it was first performed with a setting to music by Francesco Feo on 13 May 1723 at the Teatro San Bartolomeo, Naples.
The following plot summary is based on the German translation of the libretto by , performed in 1727 in Hamburg with arias by Nicola Antonio Porpora and recitative by Georg Philipp Telemann.
Siface then admits to Erminio that he has now fallen in love with Ismene, who is waiting for him right now.
Since Orcano already sees her as his queen, he hands over the sword and asks her to kill him as a punishment for his daughter's dishonor.
After he leaves, Viriate tries to talk to Ismene, telling her that Siface was only enjoying her love, but would never marry her.
After Viriate is kidnapped by Libanio, Ismene affirms to Erminio that she really loves him, but that the crown was more important to her.
Large courtroom: Libanio reports to Siface that he tried unsuccessfully to get Viriate's servant to testify against her and has therefore killed him.
Siface now asks Erminio to confess, but he only admits to loving Ismene and assures Siface that Ismene only wants to marry him because of the crown.
Magnificent gallery: Unable to free Viriate, Erminio and Orcano decide to snatch Ismene from the tyrant and go in search of her.
in 1353 Peter was compelled to make a diplomatic marriage with Blanche of Bourbon although he loved María de Padilla and had Blanche arrested immediately after their wedding.
As well as relocating the story in classical North Africa, Metastasio reduced the number of characters and tightened the plot, also reducing some of the emotional impact of the work.
Making Syphax the main character connected the drama with works about Sophonisba, which were then very popular, and also dealt with love outside marriage and included poison in their story.
It was praised of by several members of the Accademia dell’Arcadia and subsequently used by other composers including Giacomo Antonio Perti in Bologna in 1694.
In 1725 Metastasio adapted the text for a setting by Nicola Antonio Porpora, that was performed simultaneously in Venice and Milan on 26 December.
While Porpora attended the performance in Milan, Metastasio attended the premiere in Venice, accompanied by Nicolò Grimaldi and Marianna Bulgarelli, the stars of Francesco Feo’s 1723 version.
Despite losing Johns Hopkins, college ice hockey continued to expand with the addition of two Pennsylvania teams; the University of Pennsylvania (after taking a year off) and the Western University of Pennsylvania (the future University of Pittsburgh).
The resulting poems were published as a booklet by the Wai-te-ata Press in 2006, accompanied by photographs taken in the Neonatal Unit by Alan Knowles.
The Soap Girls are a UK-based punk band consisting of French-born, South African-raised sisters Noemie Debray (guitar, vocals) and Camille Debray (guitar, vocals).
Previously, the Debray sisters formed an earlier dance-pop incarnation of the band in South Africa which was signed to Universal Records.
The Debrays began their music career as child street performers in South Africa, singing while selling soap, from where they acquired their band name.
The band received attention after an incident at a 2016 gig in Hastings in which venue staff attacked the band with a bucketful of stage blood.
Both our stage shows and music addresses and encourages people to get out of their shells and forgo labels that society has imposed on them.

The primary exhibit is the display of the tusks and skulls of the Magnificent Seven, a set of enormous tuskers (elephant bulls with very large tusks).
The hall was renovated in 2017 with financial assistance from donors worldwide and design assistance from professor Kevin Todd and his students at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia.
Each elephant had at least one tusk that weighed at least 50 kg, and all of their tusks were at least 2 m long.
Dr. U de V Pienaar, the chief warden of Kruger National Park in the 1970s, decided to publicise these elephants as an example of Kruger's successful conservation work.
As each elephant died, their skull and ivory were recovered and brought to the Elephant Hall, with the exception of João, whose tusks broke off in 1984 and were never found.
The list of current tuskers is available on the South African National Parks website, alongside the list of deceased tuskers and female tuskers.
With the help of over R1.5 million in donations from Australia's University of the Sunshine Coast and the South African National Parks Honorary Rangers, it was reopened on after nine weeks of renovation.

She began training racehorses in the 1990s, promoting the use of gentle methods without the use of any type of medication.
Ruffu's training style was unorthodox and she was once suspended for nine months from California tracks in part for her activism, though the suspension was later reversed.
In 2004, Ruffu became a 20% owner of a horse named Urgent Envoy, whom she trained, and after being fired as his trainer, became the subject of controversy when she took the horse from his other owners.
Ruffu was in Denton, Texas in the early 1960s, where she attended religious school for grade school students at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church.
She began working at the track, starting as a hot walker and by the late 1990s was an exercise rider, noted for her gentle handling of horses.
Racing stewards would not comment on the reasons for her suspension, but Ruffu stated that is was, in part, because of her training style, her activism against use of drugs on racehorses, and her opposition to racing two-year old horses.
The suspension was reversed by an administrative tribunal in 1998, but she asked the courts to award her compensation for lost income.
Ruffu was also concerned about the number of horses injured and killed in the racing industry, believing that overuse of medication allowed horse to race while injured.
Haney was impressed with Ruffu's skills with horses and expressed an interest in owning a horse with her in the future.
She limited workouts and didn't use analgesic drugs to mask pain in the horse, nor use the common anti-bleeding medication Lasix, and instead allowed Urgent Envoy to rest in order to recover naturally from injuries.
The horse was scheduled to race again on July 7, but the day before the race, a veterinarian recommended that Urgent Envoy rest, due to a sore shin, so the horse was scratched.
Ruffu later filed a police report, claiming there was a physical altercation between her and the handlers who moving the horse.
Shortly thereafter, Urgent Envoy was diagnosed with a stress fracture and was sent to a ranch in San Diego County to recover.
She visited the horse there and talked to veterinarians who stated to her that Urgent Envoy should have six months for recovery.
Although Baltas had him on a 30-day walking regimen, She was concerned that the horse's injury was not healed and if he raced again, he could suffer a fatal breakdown.
Haney hired a private investigator to find the horse and in 2006, Ruffu went to trial, but was acquitted by jury.
Ruffu still believes her actions were not theft, but rescue, and as of 2019 has not disclosed the location of Urgent Envoy.
It is the modern successor of one of the provincial temples established by Emperor Shōmu during the Nara period (710 – 794) for the purpose of promoting Buddhism as the national religion of Japan and standardising control of Yamato rule over the provinces.
It was long assumed that the temple was constructed in 741 as the provincial temple of Mikawa Province; however, recent excavations indicate that the pagoda was erected before the other structures in the temple.
Subsequent changes to the temple are unclear, and the temple appears to have been abandoned around the end of the 10th century.
The Mikawa Kokubun-ji was restored during the Eishō era (1504-1521) of the Sengoku period under the sponsorship of the Imagawa clan, and the temple was renamed the Hachiman Kokubun-ji, indicating a connection with a nearby Hachiman shrine.
The bronze bell at the Mikawa Kokubun-ji dates from the early Heian period and was designated a Important Cultural Property of Japan in 1922.
The bell is unsigned, and has a height of 118 cm, circumference of 256 cm, opening of 82.4 cm and a wight of 687 kilograms.

Ormenio railway station () is a railway station and former junction where the railway to Svilengrad crosses into Bulgaria, that serves the village of Ormenio, Evros in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Greece.
Located around 900m north of the center of Ormenio, it is the most Northernmost railway station in Greece, and the final stop before crossing the border into Bulgaria.
The station opened in 1896 when the line, built by the Chemins de fer Orientaux (CO), managed by Maurice de Hirsch, as part of the CO's contract to build a line from Istanbul to Vienna.

The package of measures aims to build or improve transport connections and connectivity across Europe, with a focus on sustainable transport.
The project for the Pythian-Ormenio section envisions upgrading the existing line infrastructure and trackbed, dubbling of the track as well as the installation of electrification signalling (ETCS Level 1) along the entire stretch, with the aim of improving freight transport with Bulgaria and Turkey.
The station buildings have recently been repaired and upgraded, however the waiting rooms are barely more than brick shelters and the station remains little more than an unstaffed halt.

Since opening in 1980, the BRC has provided a tranquil space amid 300 acres of rolling hills and supported the development of the Buddhist community throughout the country.
The BRC hosts regular retreats and welcomes independent visitors who want to visits its facilities, without promoting one form of Buddhism over others.
The BRC was founded by Louis van Loon, a Dutch-born architect and civil engineer who immigrated to South Africa in 1956.
After establishing himself professionally in Durban, van Loon explored his interest in philosophy, starting with theosophy, a religion established in the late 19th century that draws on Hindu and Buddhist principles.
He became a spokesperson for the fledgling Buddhist community in Durban and lectured on the religion at the University of Durban-Westville.
After a nearly fatal illness while traveling Sri Lanka, Van Loon made a commitment to establish a resort similar to the ones he had visited in Asia.
The foundation stone for the property was placed on what became a stupa, at a location indicated by Lama Anagarika Govinda.
Antony Osler became the BRC's first resident teacher who Van Loon selected for his wide knowledge of the different schools of Buddhism Early retreat activities were very zen-focused though throughout the 1980s the range of topics explored at the BRC expanded to include workshops ranging from Classical Indian Dance, Taoism, and T'ai Chi.
The of the BRC includes a small teaching studio which also functions as a library, a meditation hall, or gompa, and a kitchen dining room area.
Outside, a centerpiece is a 5-meter-tall Buddha statue on the main lawn, designed by Van Loon and hailed as the largest Buddhist statue outside of a Buddhist country.
On the grounds are also a stupa, buddha boma, or outdoor pavilion for meditation, a labyrinth, zen gardens, and a Buddhist shrine.
It was designated a National Heritage Site by Nelson Mandela, due to its conservation of the highly endangered blue swallow through indigenous plants.
The BRC is maintained by a full-time staff of seven people, many of whom come for their positions from outside South Africa.
Van Loon retains ownership of the land, which will be transferred to the Buddhist Trust of South Africa after his death.
Van Loon emphasized the importance of good food at the BRC, as many of the retreats he had visited had such lousy food that it made visitors want to abandon vegetarianism and eat meat.
Van Loon contributes reflections on his travels and studies to the books along with recipes from the visiting chef and pictures of meal preparation from the kitchen.

The 2020 Venezuelan National Assembly Delegated Committee election was the process to be carried out in the ordinary session of January 5, in which 160 deputies elect the period 2020-21 parliament's Board of Directors: the president, the first and second vice president, the secretary and the deputy secretary.
The election was disrupted and resulted in two competing claims for the Presidency of the National Assembly: one by Luis Parra, an independent legislator, and one by Juan Guaidó, a legislator from the Popular Will party, and a claimant to the country's disputed presidency.
Parra was formerly a member of Justice First, but was expelled from the party on 20 December 2019 based on corruption allegations, which he denies.
In 2019, nearly 60 countries recognized Guaidó as the Acting President of Venezuela, and these countries potentially face the question of recognizing his successor and their government over Maduro.
As of 8 January, Russia is the only foreign government to have officially recognized Luis Parra investiture, while the European Union, the United States, Canada and most Latin American countries recognized Guaido's re-election.
On 17 December 2019, the National Assembly approved the modification of the Interior and Debate Regulations, specifically section 4, article 13 and articles 43 and 56, so that deputies who are exiled can vote from their country of residence.
The proposal, presented by Democratic Action deputy Dennis Fernández and approved by 93 deputies, includes the admission of information and communication technologies (ICT) to guarantee the quorum and the discussions.
The incumbent president of the National Assembly, Juan Guaidó, announced he would run for re-election at the parliament headquarters, amid doubts about whether he would get the necessary votes (84).
Guaidó received support in his re-election as president from 27 political parties, including those with parliamentary representation: Encuentro Ciudadano, Voluntad Popular, Acción Democrática, Un Nuevo Tiempo, Primero Justicia, La Causa R and a faction of Copei.
Guaidó said that he had enough votes for his reelection, even without a distance vote from the thirty deputies abroad or in hiding, citing as evidence the fact that the modification of the internal and debate rules had been approved with 93 votes, more than the 84 needed.
They said they would respect the February 2016 governance agreement, which says that the presidency of the National Assembly would correspond to minority parties.
On 1 December, the website Armando.info published an investigation reporting that nine parliamentaries mediated in favor of two businessmen linked with the government.
Venezuelan lawmakers and the United States State Department said that opposition deputies, in parties led or allied with Guaidó, were being offered up to US$1 million to not vote for him.
National Assembly deputies Ismael León and Luis Stefanelli directly accused Parra in December 2019 of attempting to bribe deputies to vote against Guaidó.
According to her, the government resorted to this method after failing to incarcerate or suspend the parliamentary inmunity of the deputies, denouncing a considerable increase of political persecution as 5 January was approaching, explaining that security forces have gone to the houses of many deputies without alternates, and the only one with one, according to Solórzano, did accept the bribe.
On 3 January 2020, Nicmer Evans, a Caracas-based analyst, alleged that Maduro had managed to cause 14 deputies to not cast a vote for Guaidó through these tactics.
Additionally, the deputy Juan Requesens, who has been detained as a political prisoner since August 2018, had visitation rights removed for the day of the election, according to his sister Rafaela.
In the early morning of 5 January, members of the police and intelligence service entered Paseo Las Mercedes, a hotel in which many opposition deputies were staying.
Opposition deputies denounced that the officials were deliberately slowing down the entry, and many lawmakers spoke with the minority leader, , to intercede, who went out several times.
About 35 of the national and international media outlets accredited by the National Assembly to cover the legislative sessions were not allowed entry.
Some diplomatic representatives, including from Germany, the Netherlands and Spain, were denied entry as well, and the delegates from Chile and Mexico were the only ones allowed access.
Figuera pronounced a speech and joked that the appointed group would be transitional, since a new leadership would be appointed in short.
Deputy Nirma Guarulla was blocked from entering and had her parliamentary credential snatched away, and deputies Delsa Solórzano and were assaulted after attempting to enter.
A rumor spread that Gilberto Sojo, alternate deputy of that had precautionary measures, could be arrested, causing Guaidó to decide to stay next to him.
These events led to Guaidó to refuse when the National Guard asked him to enter if the remaining deputies, around twenty, did not enter.
However, the officials never opened the entry access to him or asked for his credential, and on the contrary, reinforced the security in the perimeter.
Briefly before the session started, outside the Legislative Palace, José Brito postulated Luis Parra as an alternative candidate to Guaidó, as well as and José Gregorio Noriega as first and second vicepresidents, respectively.
Francisco Torrealba assured that when Guaidó did not arrive at the scheduled time to open the session, the deputies inside the legislativee chamber applied the Internal and Debate Rules, establishing that the oldest deputy would assume the Assembly Chair to moderate the election of a new leadership.
Luis Parra, who was granted access to the legislative palace before, announced by surprise that he would be appointed as president of the National Assembly.
Pro-government and opposition deputies started stepping up to the tribune and arguing, and deputies José Brito and Marcos Bozo had a scuffle.
A group of men accompanied by pro-government deputies Nosliw Rodríguez and Ileana Medina tried to open the sound control room of the session chamber forcefully, kicking the door, while deputy María Beatriz Martínez tried to prevent it.
United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) deputies gave instructions to Parra, Franklyn Duarte and José Gregorio Noriega, assuring that there was quorum for the appointment and asking him to take the offices of the Assembly's Chair.
Other PSUV deputies handed a megaphone to Parra to let him speaker, and when they managed to enter into the sound control room they let him know that the chamber had sound he could use the microphones.
The quorum was not confirmed, and contrary to Article 8 of the Internal and Debate Rules, the vote for each position did not take place.
Speaking to reporters, Parra said that 140 lawmakers were present at his session, and that he had been elected with 81 votes.
Pedro Carreño, a ruling party deputy, told AFP that there were 150 deputies present and that Parra received 84 votes, the exact majority needed to win.
Stalin González, appointed as incidental secretary, explained that there were two attendance lists: the first one being that of those who could not start the session in the Legislative Federal Palace, 127 deputies, meaning that there was quorum but they were not allowed to enter.
At the session, Guaidó was re-elected president of the National Assembly; there were 111 total votes from deputies, with 100 approving of Guaidó being reappointed president.
State communications service CANTV reportedly blocked access to social media sites Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube on the day of the election.
The 16 July group, which previously said that they would vote based on the February 2016 governance agreement, voted to appoint Guaidó as president of the National Assembly after Parra's proclamation.
The tweet was deleted and Morales later tweeted that the statement was false, but the tweet was archived in Wayback Machine before being deleted along with several responses about an hour after being published.
The COPEI party announced that deputies Franklyn Duarte and Manuel González would be sent to the party's disciplinary council for their involvement in Parra's proclamation.
Parra's session was stopped as opposition lawmakers forced their way in, and Parra was seen running away from the Legislative Palace as the opposition deputies entered.
After electricity was cut in the parliament, Guaidó initiated a new parliamentary session and was sworn in to continue his role as president of the National Assembly.
When leaving the parliament, police forces fired gas canisters.Some journalists and opposition lawmakers denounced being injured and robbed by armed civilian militias.

The list includes the members of Parra's appointed board of directors and his supporters: Franklyn Duarte, José Gregorio Noriega, Negal Morales, José Brito, Conrado Pérez, Adolfo Superlano and Luis Parra himself.
A report on the tally of votes–usually released the same the day of an election–was not available after Parra's took oath.
On 13 January 2020, Venezuela's Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ) ordered Parra's Board of Directors to submit the tally of votes and proof of quorum.
The TSJ gave it five days to provide the report and ruled that provisionally, both Parra and Guaidó, as well as the vice-speaker designates declared by both sides, would enjoy legal immunity The TSJ did not ask for Guaidó's tally.
When asked, Parra's has given several versions on why the report is unavailable, including that the report might have been stolen.
On 16 January, José Brito and Conrado Pérez filed a complaint in the Supreme Tribunal of Justice against the leadership of Justice First, the party they were expelled from.
The deputies asked to be restituted in the party, saying that there was no justification to be expelled from Justice First and their due process, right of defense and presumption of innocence.
The deputies were received by the president of the Constitutional Chamber and the meeting lasted a little more than an hour.
In some cases, they affirmed having been taken by bus, could not say for long they were part of Justice First, did not know that Luis Parra was not present or declared being paid for assisting.
Colectivos, pro-Maduro civilian paramilitary groups, appeared on the scene and attacked the caravan of the lawmakers that tried to reach parliament.
Gunshots were heard and a car carrying lawmakers, transporting Guaido's vicepresident Berrizbeitia, got its windows shattered, but no injuries were reported.
The same day, an opposition deputy, Ismael León, was arrested by Venezuelan special police forces FAES, according to members of Popular Will.
FAES operations usually focus on poor neighborhoods and the squad has been accused by the United Nations of carrying thousands of extrajudicial killings on behalf of Maduro's administration.

Place Bou Jeloud (also spelled Boujloud or Bu Jeloud), also known as Place Pacha el-Baghdadi, is a large public square in Fes, Morocco, located west of Bab Bou Jeloud gate.
Today the square is also named after Pasha Si Mohammed Ben Bouchta El Baghdadi, the officer who was placed in charge of Fes during the first 20 years of the French Protectorate between 1912 and his death in 1932.
The square is bordered by Bab Mahrouk and the city walls of Fes el Bali to the west, by the Kasbah en-Nouar to the north (including the Bab Chorfa gate), and by the former Kasbah Bou Jeloud to the south.
The Kasbah Bou Jeloud was a formerly walled compound that was occupied by the authorities and by the governor of Fes even into the 20th century, but which today is a common neighbourhood.
The square likely dates from the Almohad period (early 13th century) when most of the surrounding fortifications were construct by Muhammad al-Nasir.
It was originally used as military parade ground and staging area but was also used as a camping ground for caravans and as a promenade and entertainment ground in the evenings.
The city walls on the western side of the square, adjoining the city's main western gate, Bab Mahrouk, were also lined with small chambers or shelters for the soldiers who kept watch at night, while the northern and eastern parts of the square were also occupied by miscellaneous structures such as warehouses and a marabout's tomb.
Today the square is still used for various events, such as one of the venues for the World Sacred Music Festival.
The northern part of the square, in front of Bab Chorfa gate, is the site of a long-running open-air market selling low-cost goods to local residents.
The exact date that the Mikawa Kokubun-niji was founded is not known, and it is assumed that to have been constructed in 741 together with the neighboring Mikawa Kokubun-ji.
from the style of the roof tiles uncovered, it can be estimated that the temple dates from the Keiun era (767-770 AD).
Currently, the site is maintained as part of the Mikawa Kokubunji Ruins Historic Site Park, and the red-painted middle gate and part of the corridor have been restored as full-scale buildings.
The Speedway Terrace Historic District, in Memphis, Tennessee, is a residential historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.

Robert Sidney Cocks, commonly known as Sidney, was born in Bathurst on 24 January 1866, the third of eight children born to William Cocks and his wife Margaretta (nee Hare).
Typically, Cocks painted scenes of the NSW south coast and Blue Mountains and regularly exhibited with art societies in Australia and New Zealand.
Four of his works were chosen for inclusion in the 1898 Exhibition of Australian Art in London and in 1916 he held his most successful solo exhibition at the Anthony Hordern and Sons Fine Art Gallery in Sydney.
Towards the end of the school year, Cornell sent an ice hockey team, under the guidance of G. A. Smith, to Philadelphia for a set of three games over four days.
Cornell won each contest to finish the season undefeated, but with the small number of games they were ineligible for the collegiate championship.
Bab Mahrouk (also spelled Bab Mahruq) is historically the main western city gate of Fes el Bali, the old walled city of Fes, Morocco.
The gate dates from 1204 and is located on the northwestern corner of Place Bou Jeloud, near the edge of Kasbah an-Nouar.
The current gate was built in 1204 by the Almohad ruler Muhammad al-Nasir (ruled 1199-1213), who rebuilt the city walls and fortifications of Fes generally.
The heads of executed rebels were hung here on display, a practice that continued on occasion even up to the beginning of the 20th century.
On some occasions the condemned were hung by the wrists just above the ground for a full day before their execution.
Today the gate is still standing but several other openings in the wall have been created nearby to allow for the passage of vehicles and regular traffic.
Like many medieval fortified gates, the gate has a bent entrance, entered from the west but turning 90 degrees to the south.
It opens through a large horseshoe or Moorish arch, surrounded by a shallow rectangular frame (similar to Bab Mahrouk on the other side of the city).
West of the gate, outside the city walls, stretches the historic Bab Mahrouk Cemetery, which includes the mausoleum of 12th-century Islamic scholar Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi.

The Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture (also known as the McGill University School of Architecture), is among the oldest and most prestigious architecture schools in North America offering accredited professional and post-professional programs from undergraduate through to Ph.D. levels.
Since its founding in 1896, the School has established an international reputation and a record of producing leading professionals and researchers who have helped shape the field of architecture, including Moshe Safdie, Arthur Erickson, Raymond Moriyama and Blanche van Ginkel, among others.
The School of Architecture is a constituent of the Faculty of Engineering at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec and is housed in the Macdonald-Harrington Building, designed by Sir Andrew Taylor on the McGill University downtown campus.
The School also operates many important auxiliary facilities, including workshops, laser cutting and 3D-printing facilities, research labs as well as various libraries and collections on McGill's campus.
On September 26, 2017, the School was renamed the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture following a $12 million gift from architect and McGill graduate Peter Fu.
McGill's School of Architecture, founded in 1896, is one of the oldest architecture schools in North America and the second to be established in Canada.
In 1890, the Province of Quebec Association of Architects adopted a constitution requiring compulsory examination for people in Quebec who wished to become professional architects.
This created a need for more systematic architectural education and the absence of such opportunities caused many aspiring architects in Canada to study architecture at universities in the United States, where ten architecture schools had already been established.
Canada did not yet have any formal architectural education, and the only forms of architectural education in Montreal were periodical lectures by local practising architects at McGill’s affiliated religious colleges.
This new need for architectural education is an important factor that led to the founding of the School of Architecture at McGill.
In 1896, Sir William C. Macdonald created a Chair in Architecture at McGill University to be led by Stewart Henbest Capper.
Professor Capper gave all lectures in architecture, and Henry F. Armstrong, the only other full-time professor, taught art classes and modelling.
The second director of the School, Percy Nobbs, arrived at McGill in 1903 to only two students, Gordon H. Blackader and H.E.
Three new staff were hired in 1906, and three years later, Philip J. Turner joined the faculty and would eventually become the director.
At this time, the principal of McGill, Lewis Williams Douglas, considered phasing out architectural education at the university due to low enrollment, however he faced a great deal of backlash from Turner and several famous architects from Montreal, and eventually abandoned the idea.
Under Turner’s tenure, the door to co-ed education was opened, and in 1943 Catherine Mary Wisnicki became the School's first female graduate.
After the War, the School of Architecture increased its staff and doubled its physical accommodation due to the surge in university enrollment.
This required the School to briefly use McGill’s Dawson College, a satellite campus in St. Jean, Quebec to accommodate its students.
By 1947, the School had become so cramped that a former Victorian residential building on University Street was vacated to make room for the School’s students.
Around this time, Professor Frederic Lasserre of McGill’s School of Architecture left the university to establish a new School of Architecture at the University of British Columbia and invited McGill Architecture graduates Catherine Mary Wisnicki, Peter Oberlander and Arthur Erickson to teach at his new school.
In 1946, Harold Spence-Sales was appointed Associate Professor of Design and with John Bland established the first post-graduate architecture and planning program in Canada.
When John Bland joined the School in 1941, there were only 23 students enrolled, but by the 1949/1950 academic year there were 133 full-time students.
Beginning in this academic year, the professional program was extended to six years, with first year students taking the same courses as Engineering students.
During the early 1950s, three new teachers were added to the faculty, including Hazen Sise and Guy Desbarats who would later go on to found Arcop together alongside Fred Lebensold, Ray Affleck, and Dimitri Dimakopoulos, all graduates and/or teachers at the School of Architecture at some point.
Growth was limited by lack of physical space, but during the following decade with the addition of four stories to the McConnell Building, the School saw growth in enrollment again.
In 1961, McGill Professor Douglas Shadbolt left the School to found the first architecture program at the Novia Scotia Technical College (later known as Technical University of Nova Scotia (TUNS)) in Halifax and 8 years later went on to found the School of Architecture at Carleton University in Ottawa, today the Azrieli School of Architecture & Urbanism.
In the late 1960s, the six year architecture program became a four year program with the introduction of CEGEPs in Quebec.
In 1941, Professor John Bland became the director and replaced the curriculum, which was based on the Arts & Crafts movement with a Modernist one.
In 1943, Catherine Chard Wisnicki became the School’s first female graduate and later the fourth female member of the Ontario Association of Architects.
The society represents all undergraduate students in the School of Architecture and organizes student activities and affairs and acts as a voice for students in issues at McGill.
The ASA is chaired by the President and run by an Executive Council composed of six Vice-President portfolios: Academic, Internal, External, Administration, Finance and Student Life.
As of 2019, the School of Architecture has established a chapter of the American Institute of Architecture Students, an international, non-profit, student-run organization dedicated to providing progressive programs, information and resources on critical issues to architecture students.
The Macdonald-Harrington building is the home of the Peter Guo-hua School of Architecture, and also contains the School of Urban Planning on the fourth level.
As Architecture students progress through the years, they do so through the design studios as well, with each year's respective studio located on a different level of the Macdonald-Harrington building and the top level being the Masters' studios.
All of the model-making resources students need are located within the architecture building, and apart from materials and printing, which are expected to be purchased, all resources can be used free-of-charge and are exclusive to architecture students.
The workshop is located in the basement and ground floor of the Macdonald-Harrington building, and provides students with all of their model-making needs.
The workshop contains various equipment and power tools for working with wood, plaster, glass, acrylics and metal, and also contains facilities, including a fumehood for sandblasting, spray painting, casting and mould-making.
Workshop facilities include a Laser Cutting Room with three Universal Laser Cutter machines that students can use free-of-charge to cut and engrave acrylic, MDF, wood, styrene and other sheet materials.
Its 3D-printing fleet comprises of Mark One, Zortrax M200, Makerbot Z18, Ultimaker 2+, Form 2 and Ultimaker S5 machines, which allow students to print with 5 types of resin, PLA, carbon fiber, fiberglass, kevlar and nilon.
The Media Centre is located in the Macdonald-Harrington building and is available exclusively to architecture students, faculty and staff at McGill.
The Centre includes a traditional dark room for developing film photographs, a photography studio/light room for students to photograph their work as well as a printing room with multiple large format printers and scanners.
The John Bland Canadian Architecture Collection is one of the McGill Libraries' Special Collections, and is a very important resource for architecture and urban planning students.
Students and professors at these schools are required to document their work and then give them to the Canadian Architecture Collection for safe-keeping.
As such, the Collection currently consists of over 157,240 drawings, 25,000 photographs and 11,780 slides, 190 models, 300 maps and 400 metres of papers of 19th- and 20th-century architects in Canada.
The Architecture Slide Library contains more than 40,000 images, of which nineteenth- and twentieth-century images are the most heavily used in the collection and are stored in Room 310 of the Macdonald-Harrington building.
The models were created between 1940 and 1990 by Orson Wheeler, a sculptor and former professor at McGill's School of Architecture.
The Blackader-Lauterman Library of Architecture and Art is the University's parent library for the Schools of Architecture and Urban Planning, and is located on the upper floor of the Humanities & Social Sciences Library, one of thirteen branches of the McGill Library.
The library was established through a donation from the family of the late Gordon H. Blackader, one of the first students to study at the School of Architecture whose life was cut short during World War I.
The library was renamed the Blackader-Lauterman Library of Architecture and Art during the 1940s after the family of sculptor Dinah Lauterman donated in her memory.
The library contains over 79,000 monographs and journal subscriptions, and has a substantial collection of over 3000 rare books from 1511 to 2009 housed in the Rare Books and Special Collections Library at McGill.
Students are also always welcome to visit the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), which houses the largest architecture library in North America, just a 20-minute walk away from the downtown campus.
The School of Architecture has one of the most selective and competitive sets of program offerings in Canada with one of the lowest overall application/acceptance ratios.
Offers of acceptance into the program are based on a unique review process including an evaluation of a portfolio of works and extracurricular involvement, on top of grades.
For Quebec CEGEP students, admissions to the School of Architecture represent the highest average R score of students accepted into the Faculty of Engineering however in contrast to the high average R score, the lowest score admitted can sometimes be closer to the engineering average due to the importance of the portfolio in the admissions process.
The Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture has close ties to several architecture schools across the world and has formal bilateral exchange agreements on a departmental level with seven schools in particular, including The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Politecnico di Milano in Milan, Tongji University in Shanghai, École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Belleville, , Université catholique de Louvain in Brussels and TU Wien in Vienna.
Students also have the opportunity to spend an exchange semester abroad at any of McGill University's 160+ partner institutions as long as they offer architecture exchanges, however these are more difficult to coordinate due to the competitive nature of University-wide exchanges.
In addition to the seven schools with whom the School of Architecture has bilateral agreements, architecture students have spent exchange semesters at some of the top architecture schools in the world, including The Bartlett at University College London (UCL), National University of Singapore, University of Leeds, University of Liverpool, University of Sheffield and Australian National University.
Each year, the School of Architecture presents public lectures, exhibitions and symposia showcasing leading architects and important figures in the field.

The Royal Canadian Air Force Pipes and Drums (RCAFPD) is a military pipe band unit composed of current members of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
The unit was formally established in October 1949 and is the longest continuous serving Air Force Pipe Band in the Canadian Forces.
The band usually performs for RCAF change of command ceremonies, military funerals, and other major occasions in the National Capital Region.
It has participated in all RCAF Presentation of Colours ceremonies, whether it be official such as the ceremony in 2017 in Toronto, as well as a symbolic presentation of the old RCAF colours at Air Canada Centre to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
During the latter, the two pipers from the band took part in the ceremony while the band was in full composition during the former.
The band took part in a 75th anniversary ceremony on Parliament Hill in recognition of the Battle of Britain in September 2015.
The Pipe Band wear a modified highland dress that features Scottish uniforms augmented with a kilt patterned in the RCAF Tartan.
It was approved by the Air Council and was subsequently sent to the Lord Lyon King of Arms on 13 July 1942 to request it become the official RCAF tartan.

Andy Hooper, Jon Schwalb, and chef Jamie Tran opened the Black Sheep after DB Brassiere, where Tran served as executive chef, closed at the Venetian, freeing up Tran.
They decided to open up a restaurant in a strip mall on the southwest side of Las Vegas, in an area where few casual fine dining restaurants existed and where Schwalb and Hoover live.
The walls are painted different levels of gray and a large panoramic photograph of a sheep farm is placed on one wall.
The idea to make Black Sheep a Vietnamese-American restaurant was inspired by the family meals Chan would prepare when working at DB Brasserie, which were often Vietnamese-inspired.
Appetizers at Black Sheep include an imperial roll stuffed with pork, shrimp, pickled heirloom carrots, daikon radish, and frisee and a bao with pork sausage, fried quail egg, fried shallots, herbs and aioli made of jalapeño.
In the past, cocktails have included The Pink Sheep, in which proceeds benefitted the American Cancer Society and a martini made with Thai basil.

He first rose to prominence while playing for Immortals in 2017, qualifying for the World Championship in his debut year in the LCS.
On December 9, 2016 he joined Immortals and in the following year debuted in the LCS as the team's bot laner.
Following a seventh-place finish in the spring split, Immortals finished second in the summer regular season and advanced all the way to the summer finals, where they were defeated by TSM.
Nonetheless, Immortals qualified for the 2017 World Championship by having the most championship points at the end of the summer split.
At the 2017 World Championship, Immortals were placed in Group B of the main event group stage, along with Europe's Fnatic, South Korea's Longzhu Gaming and Vietnam's GIGABYTE Marines.
A crucial misplay by Cody Sun in a game versus Fnatic led to his team's loss and the start of Fnatic's comeback in the group stage, as in the following match Fnatic defeated the GIGABYTE Marines to force a three-way tie in Group B.
After failing to secure a spot in the newly franchised LCS, Immortals disbanded on November 20, 2017, and Cody Sun's contract was briefly held by Team Liquid before he joined 100 Thieves for the 2018 spring split.
100 Thieves finished the 2018 spring regular season in first place after five straight wins and a tiebreaker victory over Echo Fox, giving them a bye into the semifinals, where they defeated Clutch Gaming in a close series.
100 Thieves finished third in the summer regular season and won their quarterfinal series against FlyQuest playing exclusively with Cody Sun as their bot laner, but in the semifinals he was suddenly swapped out for Rikara, despite Rikara having never played in the LCS.
Nonetheless, Cody Sun's team once again qualified for the World Championship by having the most championship points; however he did not play a single game at the World Championship, as 100 Thieves opted to use only Rikara.
Prior to the start of the 2019 summer split, Clutch Gaming announced that it was signing Cody Sun, replacing Piglet as the team's starting bot laner.
Cody Sun's prowess in the bot lane was integral to Clutch Gaming's improved performance, which secured them a fifth place finish in the regular season and a spot in playoffs.
Clutch Gaming was then reverse swept by CLG in the third-place decider match, forcing them to begin in the first round of the regional qualifier for the 2019 World Championship.
After defeating FlyQuest, CLG and TSM in the first, second and third rounds respectively, Clutch Gaming secured a spot in the 2019 World Championship as the LCS' third seed.
Clutch Gaming began in the play-in stage of the 2019 World Championship, where they were placed in Group A with the CIS' Unicorns of Love and Australia's Mammoth.
After losing to the Unicorns of Love and defeating Mammoth in both round robins, Group A was locked in a three-way tie, but Clutch Gaming avoided the first tiebreaker match due to them having the shortest total game time (63:37) among their victories.
In the second round of play-in stage, Clutch Gaming was pitted against Turkey's Royal Youth, who they promptly swept to secure a spot in the main event.
Clutch Gaming finished last in their group and were eliminated without picking up a single win in the double round robin.

Minye Kyawhtin (, ; also known as Min-nge Kyawhtin (မင်းငယ် ကျော်ထင်), ; 1408–1459) was a pretender to the Ava throne from 1426 to 1459.
The eldest son of Crown Prince Minye Kyawswa, Minye Kyawhtin raised a long-running rebellion against King Mohnyin Thado (r. 1426–1439) and his successors, kings Minye Kyawswa I (r. 1439–1442) and Narapati I of Ava (r. 1442–1468).
He did hold on to Pinle, a well-fortified outpost at the edge of the Ava (Inwa) capital region, until the mid-1440s.
He was finally driven out in 1445, a year after Onbaung sided with Ava during the Chinese invasions of present-day northern Myanmar.
Born early 1408, Minye Kyawhtin was the eldest child of Princess Saw Min Hla and Crown Prince Minye Kyawswa of Ava.
He and his three younger siblings—Min Hla Htut, Minye Aung Naing and Saw Min Phyu—grew up in the royal capital of Ava (Inwa).
The young prince witnessed his father's bones being exhumed, and dropped in a solemn ceremony at the river mouth near Twante.
That year, Ava was rocked by twin assassinations of kings Thihathu (r. 1421–1425) and his successor Min Hla (r. 1425), three months apart.
The assassinations were engineered by Queen Shin Bo-Me and Prince Min Nyo of Kale (r. 1425–1426), who seized the throne in November 1425.
Kyawhtin and his uncle Prince Tarabya Minye Kyawhtin of Pakhan submitted to Nyo, who was the only son of King Tarabya of Ava (r. 1400) and a senior general in the military.
King Thado (r. 1426–1439), who began his career as a page for Prince Min Swe (later King Minkhaung), had a soft side for the only living son and the eldest grandson of his deceased lord.
Instead of executing the royals with the strongest claim to the throne, the new king sent Tarabya to live in an estate near the Shwezigon Pagoda in Pagan (Bagan), and Kyawhtin to Thissein (modern Shwebo District).
Thado had not diverted his troops to the Toungoo front, and a 15,000-strong Ava army promptly drove Kyawhtin back to Onbaung.
More ominously for Thado, the rebel governors of Toungoo and Taungdwin made a pact with King Binnya Ran I of Hanthawaddy Pegu to take over Prome (Pyay).
Kyawhtin decided to strike again in late 1427, but this time only after the main Ava forces had left for the southern front.
Backed by nine battalions from Onbaung, he found little initial resistance, and quickly advanced as far as Tabetswe, just 25km southeast of Ava.
The force, led by Gen. Baya Gamani, eventually pushed Kyawhtin back to Pinle (modern Myittha Township), about 70km southeast of Ava.
Still, with Onbaung's assistance, he was strong just enough to hold on to Pinle at the edge of the capital region until 1445.
Ava had been preoccupied by Pegu's designs on Prome since 1427, and fought a losing war against the southern kingdom in 1430–1431.
Ava turned its attention to the rebel states only in 1433, sending an army (5000 troops, 300 cavalry, 12 elephants) Pinle, Yamethin and Taungdwin.
Frustrated by the failures, the king, a former general, became increasingly withdrawn, and turned to building/renovating pagodas and resetting the Burmese calendar's epochal year to 1436.
After a successful campaign in 1439–1440 that recaptured Kale (Kalay) and Mohnyin, Ava forces (7000 troops, 400 cavalry, 20 elephants) attacked the southern rebel regions in 1440–1441.
The reinvigorated Ava forces captured Taungdwin and Toungoo in succession; Pinle and Yamethin survived only because they were not the main targets of the campaign.
The northernmost Shan state fell in April 1442 as a new king, Narapati I (r. 1442–1468), came to power in Ava.
Buoyed by the success, the new king sent an 8000-strong army to Yamethin and Pinle, the only holdouts in the southeast, in November 1442.
Kyawhtin had planned to make his stand at Yamethin but when he heard about an overwhelming force coming his way, he fled.
Out of a village, apparently in or close to modern Taungoo District, Kyawhtin plotted to take over the region, which was ruled by his second cousin Gov.
In early 1452, with the help of an inside man—Minkhaung's head of the elephant stables— who was loyal to him, Kyawhtin and his hundred followers slipped inside the city, and stormed the governor's residence, killing Minkhaung.
Thilawa of Yamethin, and the couple had a daughter, who was married to Mingyi Swa of Prome, and a son named Minye Teittha, who died in Ava.

Subordinate to the Serbian Land Forces since 2006, the River Flotilla is tasked with range of missions within the Republic of Serbia that include environmental policing, counter-terrorism, and border security along 406 kilometers of Serbia's international borders and 1565.9 kilometers of Serbia's waterways.
The modern Serbian River Flotilla pulls it origins from Serbian Šajkaši river troops that guarded the Danube and Sava rivers, and especially, the Port of Belgrade, against Ottoman Empire river fleets from the 16th to the 19th century.
The early Serbian Šajkaš fleet achieved its most notable success on 14 July 1456 when an entire Turkish fleet of 200 ships was destroyed under the walls of Belgrade.
Later, under Austrian sponsorship Serbian Šajkaši at the Battle of Petrovaradin in 1526 the Šajkaši, commanded by Serbian despot Pavle Bakić, successfully defeated the Ottoman flotilla in the service of Ferdinand I, Archduke of Austria and King of Hungary and Croatia.
The Serbian Šajkaši became an integral component of the Austrian Danube fleet and so much so that following the Austrian conquest of Hungary and present-day Vojvodina, the Šajkaška province in modern-day Serbia was founded.
During the Serbian Revolution against Ottoman Turkish rule, the national movement of the Serbian population on the Lower Danube and Sava included the Šajkaški Battalion.
From 1862, the Principality of Serbia possessed a river fleet of 12 steamboats, 52 cargo ships and 14 pontoon bridges all built at the Royal Serbian Shipyard at Čukarica (Serbian: Радионица лађа Краљевине Србиjе / Radionica lađa Kraljevine Srbije).
As political conflicts between Serbians and Hungarians culminated in a sudden attack on Sremski Karlovci on June 12, 1848, the Šajkaški Battalion played a decisive role in helping Serbia become an independent constitutional monarchy and lay the ground for the creation of modern Serbia.
After the declaration of the war against Turkey in 1876, the Principality of Serbia River Flotilla deployed naval mines on the Danube River.
At the beginning of the First World War, the flotilla fell under the Velika Ada Ciganlija Command, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Milan J. Radojević - the first commander of the Serbian River Flotilla.
The flotilla maintained the connection between the right bank of the Sava River and Velika Ada Ciganlija island occupied by Serbian troops, protected lines of communication between Belgrade and Obrenovac, assisted in the transport of Serbian troops in Srem, mined waterways and performed reconnaissance.
As an allied victor in 1918, Serbia began the reconstruction and reconstitution of its armed forces, in a new Southern Slav state known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (KSCS) and later as the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
In April 1919 the armed forces of the new South Slav Kingdom were commanded by the new Minister of the Army and Navy.
Within the Naval Department, the Danube Flotilla was headquartered at Novi Sad and commanded over the headquarters, River Flotilla bases, naval detachments on lakes.
As the victors over the now dissolved and defeated Austro-Hungarian empire, the Kingdom expected to receive a significant number of vessels from the former Austro-Hungarian navy and its Danube Flotilla, now under control by the Allies.
In April 1919, the Kingdom requested that six monitors, one river gunboat and a floating workshop to be handed over to the new South Slav navy.
On April 1920, the Royal Yugoslav Navy took the final transfer of the four monitors, one river gunboat and three tugs.
The Yugoslav River Fleet command gave the Royal Yugoslav River Flotilla the task of resisting an enemy invasion into Yugoslavia via its internal waterways.
Vessels and crews trained in laying river mines and creating obstacles and the new monitors were assigned mine clearing tasks as well as providing support to Yugoslav land units on land.
The River Flotilla had at its disposal 202 Austro-Hungarian M-15 floating mines and 202 Austro-Hungarian P-35 river mines stored at Sremska Kamenica.
In the 1920s, technical re-equipment of the Yugoslav shipyards was carried out and the needs of the Royal Yugoslav river fleet were provided by a new shipyards in Novi Sad and Smederevo, where the Yugoslav monitors were modernized.
The fleet included the monitors' group, a number of auxiliary vessels, a proper naval base and a detachment of ships on Lake Ohrid in Macedonia.
With the German invasion of Yugoslavia in 6 April 1941 the Royal Yugoslav River Flotilla was prepositioned on the Danube and Tisa rivers tasked to close off internal waterways to enemy infiltration and provide support to Royal Yugoslav Army land units .
During the opening days of the invasion, the River Flotilla successfully carried out offensive operations against Axis forces shelling the German airfield at Mohács, Hungary on the 6 April 1941 and again two days later.
Although several bombs that were unable to penetrate the vessel´s 300mm thick deck armour, one bomb hit the monitor's funnel killing the ships captain Commander Aleksandar Berić and killing 53 of the 67 man crew.
The remaining three Yugoslav monitors were scuttled by their crews on 12 April 1941 as German and Hungarian forces occupied their bases and the Yugoslav river systems.
Soon thereafter, the Yugoslav River Flotilla ceased to exist with the occupation of Yugoslavia by Nazi Germany, Hungary, Italy and Bulgaria.
On 11 September 1944, by Order of General staff of Communist-led Yugoslav National Liberation Army (Partisan) in Vojvodina, a Naval Company was formed a part of the Yugoslav 11th Vojvodina NOV brigade in the village of Neštin, Serbia.
It came under Partisan control after the Partisan crew captured it and stripped the vessel of its light arms and 20mm anti-aircraft cannon.
The Naval Company's first commander was Kara Dimitrijević from Ledinci, deputy commander was Dragutin Iskra, political commissary Svetozar Milovanović, and deputy of political commissary Rada Prodanović.
After little more than two months, the company reported to have severely damaged five enemy vessels and to have lightly damaged forty-three other boats.
During the same period, the Partisan Naval Company transported approximately 220,000 Yugoslav Partisans, 2,000 cannons, 3,000 trucks and also other military material across the Danube.
In March 1945, the Naval Company was in the possession of seven patrol boats, nine motor boats and seven assault boats.
On 20 March 1945, the Sava Flotilla was formed with ships and boats based in Sremska Mitrovica and on 14 April 1945, the Danube Flotilla was formed from ships and boats based at Novi Sad.
Between 1944 and 1965, the Yugoslav River Flotilla was organized in detachments of armored river boats, river assault ships, river auxiliary ships and minesweepers within the Yugoslav Navy (JRM).
During the 1960s, for a short period, the flotilla was subordinated to the Yugoslav National Army's 1st Army, but during later reorganization again became part of the Yugoslav Navy.
Upon arriving in the vicinity of the mouth of the Drava River on the Danube, the minesweeper was ambushed by separatist Croatian forces using shoulder launched anti-tank rockets and small arms.
Yugoslav Navy 1st class Warrant Officers, Kristijan Lampret and Stevan Marković were killed, while RML-308 captain Zoran Marković was wounded by a sniper during the engagement.
With breakup of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the Yugoslav People's Army became the Armed Forces of Serbia and Montenegro in 1992.
The mine was opened in 1939 by the Central Deborah Gold Mining Company during a 1930s revival of the gold industry, extending an existing 108ft shaft from many years earlier with new machinery.
It was one of the last mines to open on the Bendigo goldfields and one of the few to stay open during World War II.
It closed in November 1954, having produced 29,865 ounces of gold in its lifetime; the closure of the North Deborah Mine two weeks later marked the last mine in Bendigo to close.
It was reopened in 1986 as a tourist attraction for underground tours, with its shaft being widened to allow for larger lifts.
The Violet Street tram stop of the Bendigo Tramways route connects the mine to Lake Weeroona, the Bendigo Joss House Temple and other local tourist attractions, with the route's western end terminating at the mine.
The exquisite composition of formal garden elements and English-style country park is considered a masterpiece of garden design and the spacious complex of palace and park has always been a popular attraction for local residents and tourists alike.
The Park is divided into the vast country and landscape park sector in the west and the formal garden sector adjacent to the palace.
The western landscape park features the smaller Pagodenburg Lake with the Pagodenburg in the northern part and the larger Badenburg Lake with the Apollo Temple and the Badenburg in the south.
On the garden side of the palace (west) follows the large Garden parterre, which constitutes the central part of the large rectangle surrounded by canals.
The 1662 birth of Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria of the Wittelsbach family was the occasion to consider the construction of a palatial residence and garden for the young mother, Electoress Henriette Adelaide of Savoy, in between the villages of Neuhausen and Obermenzing.
The elaborate Baroque palace complex, which would serve as a summer residence and alternative to the seat of government, the Munich Residenz, was only realized a generation later under the adult Maximilian II Emanuel.
Work began in 1664 with the construction of a cube-shaped palace building and the creation of an Italian-style Garden parterre to the west.
In the manner of French models roads were laid out in straight lines and rows of trees and arcades were planted, in order to strictly divide the park.
From 1715 on, Maximilian II Emanuel had the forest outside the palace park transformed into a deer hunting range and enlarged to nearly reach Lake Starnberg.
In 1792 he accomplished the masterful and harmonious combination of the French and English garden style as he had previously at Schwetzingen Palace garden in Baden-Württemberg.
The work on the spacious landscape park based on the English model began in 1804 with the southern part, which was completed in 1807.
He preserved the parterres on the garden side of the palace as well as the Central axis canal and the Great cascade.
He decided to subdivide the park into two distinct landscape areas of varying size, each with its own character and atmoshpere, to which two very differently shaped and designed lakes contributed significantly.
The orderly French Baroque garden, which maintains the idea to enhance nature through the means of art and order flanked by the English landscape park, that highlights the free play of nature.
After the violent appropriation of the monastery church in the Orangery wing, a hunting museum was opened in this part of the palace in October 1938.
The sports ground in the southernmost corner of the park, built before World War II, still represents an ongoing violation of the parks design.
During the 1972 Summer Olympics, equestrian events took place in the palace park: the dressage competitions were held on the Garden parterre.
The park's statues were removed, the equestrian arena and grandstands were erected as temporary facilities while adjacent buildings of the palace were used as stables.
On the one hand the court society could move from one venue to the next with gondolas, and on the other - this provided a convenient transport route for agricultural products and building materials.
The idea was to impress aristocratic guests: A visitor, who was approaching the palace from the east in a horse-drawn carriage, noticed the growing building backdrop.
When driving through the Grand circle his vehicle described a semicircle, so that the extra-wide palace front presented all its grandeur.
These canals break the string of main palace elements and annex buildings and continue under the galleries (built from 1739 to 1747) on the garden side.
The Garden parterre, closely linked to the garden side of the palace, still remains a visible feature of the French garden.
In the course of the redesign of the entire palace park by Sckell, it was simplified, but retained its original size: in 1815, the six-part broderie parterre became a four-part lawn with a flower bordure.
The view of the observer standing on the palace stairways is being lead across the parterre with the fountain to the central water axis.
Today, the parterre is divided into four fields, of which the eastern ones facing the palace are significantly longer than the western ones.
He created this moderate garden, which already had some characteristics of the English garden style for the young Ludwig I in 1799.
These flower gardens were designed between 1810 and 1820 by Friedrich Ludwig Sckell as formal, regular structures which were supposed to contrast with the landscape park.
One of its elements was a parterre of flowers, an arbor, that lead to a garden pavilion to the north, in front of which is a round, now dryed out water basin, to which leads a staircase.
Its current form probably dates back to a 1764 design by François Cuvilliés and might have been built in 1724 when this section of the garden was created.
An Aedicula was added behind the upper basin - most likely in the early 19th century - that featured a copy of Antonio Canova's Venus Italica in the niche.
The barely perceptible height difference of about between the northern and southern plots of the park, allowed the creation of three levels by skillful water management.
The Pagodenburg, which lies on an island formed by a ring-like canal, dominates the design and largely occupies the northern part of the lake and can be reached via two pedestrian bridges.
Two canals branch off from this water basin and flow around the Garden parterre with the flower gardens and the greenhouses in the north and a strip of the Amalienburg sector of the park in the south and then flow to the east towards the palace.
Apart from the small amount of water that drains via the small stream near the Pan sculptures, the canal extension diverts the waters of the lake towards the east.
The small watercraft used a sluice to overcome the difference in height between Lake Badenburg and the central basin on the Garden parterre.
Water appears in the form of the calm surfaces of the two lakes, flows in canals and streams, falls and rushes in the two cascades and rises in the geysers of the two large fountains.
The fountains are still operated by pumping stations that are driven by water wheels and have been in operation since the beginning of the 19th century.
On elector Maximilian I Josephs order in 1802 Joseph Baader redesigned and in 1807 eventually replaced the pump that had been built by Franz Ferdinand Albert Graf von Wahl in 1716.
The fountain was demolished at the beginning of the 19th century due to the simplification of the Garden parterre by Ludwig von Sckell, its remains have since disappeared.
The structure dominates parts of the lake, as it smoothly sits into a visual axis where it can also be seen from the north.
For centuries it was the first large building in Europe that was used solely for the purpose of enjoying a comfortable bath.
Further rooms on the ground floor are: the bathroom to the south-west, the bedroom with adjoining writing cabinet and warderobe to the south-east and a central gambling room with access to the hall.
While two of them show scenes from far-eastern everyday life, the third shows plants, birds and butterflies in pink and green colors.
In the large hall there are two fountains with statuettes of Tritons children riding on water-spouting dolphins, the gold-plated, hollow lead castings are works of Guillielmus de Grof (1722).
It is almost completely occupied by the swimming pool, which has been called luxurious with a lavish area of and a depth of .
The Pagodenburg (pagoda castle) was built as a maison de plaisance under the direction of Joseph Effner from 1716 to 1719, by allegedly using a floor plan of Max Emanuel.
The term Pagodenburg (pagoda castle) has already been used in contemporary reports and refers to the interior fashion of the Chinoiserie.
The niches and the flanks of the side cabinets, as well as the door to the staircase are covered with murals by Johann Anton Gumpp, that show numerous Asian gods.
Around 1770 the original furnishing of the Salettl was replaced by Rococo-style furniture, which with its blue and white framing picks up on the colors of the wall design and can still be seen in the Pagodenburg.
While one wing is reserved for the staircase, the other three house the relaxation room, the Chinese salon and the smaller Chinese cabinet.
The relaxation room is the only room in the Pagodenburg without any elements of Chinese fashion, but is entirely committed to the style of French Régence.
The walls of the Chinese salon are clad in black lacquered wood paneling, which serves as a frame for Chinese scroll paintings with plant and bird motifs.
There are European lacquer panels in the window and door reveals, which are also painted with floral motifs based on the scroll paintings.
Above is a golden figure frieze, which leads the viewer to the ceiling painting which also shows Chinoise motifs in a grotesque style.
The total of 33 scroll paintings that were used for the wall paneling on the upper floor are New Year pictures imported from China, only three of which are European imitations.
The fronts and the cover plates show Urushi paintwork with golden and silver scatter patterns and paintings on a black background.
Margravine Franziska Sibylla Augusta of Baden was so impressed during a visit to Elector Maximilian II Emanuel that she had the plans sent to Rastatt.
It was designed by François Cuvilliés (the Older) and built from 1734 to 1739 as a hunting lodge for pheasant hunting.
Although the Rocaille is the leading form in the ornamentation of early Rococo, floral ornament motifs still predominate in the building.
Originally there was a garden parterre related to the building, which due to the later redesign of the landscape style is no longer recognizable.
In the north are the hunting room and the pheasant room, in the south the rest room and the blue cabinet; the retirade and the dog chamber are accessible from there.
As the rooms were particularly rarely used in the princely environment, the kitchen and hunting room underwent a final comprehensive renovation only at the 800th anniversary of the city of Munich in 1958.
The attic carried decorative vases from 1737, also made according to a design by Zimmermann, which disappeared at an unknown time.
They were recreated in 1992 according to a design by Hans Geiger, four adorn the entrance facade since and twelve are placed in the garden side of the Amalienburg.
A platform with an artistic lattice, which is placed on the building in the middle of the roof, served as a high stand for the pheasant hunt.
Since the castle could be supplied by the kitchen of the palace, the Amalienburg, unlike the other two park castles, did not require a service building.
Although it is considered one of the park castles, the Magdalenenklause, which is somewhat hidden in the northern part of the park, differs significantly from the other castles.
The rectangle is expanded to the northwest and southwest by two apses and two small, round extensions are attached to the corners of the building at the front.
The entrance facade alludes to Italian ruins, the plastering on the outside reveals seemingly bricked-up window openings, which reinforces the impression of the deteriorated condition.
The location, separated from the neighboring castle, was to serve the Elector Max Emanuel as a place of contemplation - a memento mori, the completion of which the Elector not lived long enough to see.
A contrast to these rooms, which are plainly furnished with simple paneling, exhibits the two-part chapel, the walls of which are grottoed with fantastic stucco work, shells and originally colored pebbles.
The design was executed by Johann Bernhard Joch, the stucco figure of the Penitent Magdalene is the work of Giuseppe Volpini, the ceiling frescoes in the chapel room and in the apse were created by Nikolaus Gottfried Stuber.
The temple is one of the landmarks of the lake's surroundings, invites to rest and allows the visitor a panoramic view over the water surface.
As it had become derelict, Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell proposed the construction of a circular stone temple with a cella based on the Vesta temple in Tivoli.
They embodied the idealized idea of country life in early modern times and the longing for the supposed idyll of the world of farmers and shepherds.
Models for the design can be found in the decorative village of the Chantilly park (1774) and in the Hameau de la Reine in the Versailles Palace park (1783).
As the doors and windows are open during the day, the visitor can observe how the height difference of the site is utilized for energy generation.
The machines were designed by Joseph Baader in 1803 and have been supplying the fountain on the Garden parterre ever since.
The greenhouses of the Nymphenburg Park, not to be confused with those of the nearby botanical garden, are adjacent to the three flower gardens in the north.
They are arranged in one line, parallel to the floor plan of the Garden parterre on the inside and the canal rectangle on the outside.
The eastern greenhouse was built in 1807 and rebuilt after a fire by Carl Mühlthaler in 1867 as an iron and glass structure.
The rooms under the roof served as living space for the gardeners, who were ordered to maintain constant temperatures around the clock.
King Maximilian I Joseph has acquired a large number of exotic animals, including a llama, kangaroos, a monkey and various types of birds.
Statues and decorative vases, made of gilded lead and twelve vases, made by Guillielmus de Grof from 1717 to 1722 once dotted the parterre.
They were considered unfashionable by the end of the 18th century and removed, when weathered from exposure, cracked, parts broken off, their iron supports rusted away or fallen from their bases.
The first designs for the modern marble statues were provided by Franz Ignaz Günther, Johann Baptist Hagenauer and Johann Baptist Straub.
There are two types of sculptural decoration on the Garden parterre, twelve large statues on plinths and twelve pedestal decorative vases with figural reliefs, all in the form of a series of Cherubs, matching the mythological theme of the statues.
While the vases are set up on the narrow sides of the four compartments forming the Garden parterre, the statues are placed on their long sides.
Between the upper and lower cascade basins are two reclining figures with urns on both sides of the falling water, that symbolize the Isar and Danube rivers, made by Giuseppe Volpini (1715–1717).
On the way from the Badenburg to the north stands the sculpture of the resting Pan, playing his flute, accompanied by a billy goat.
The seated sculpture was made in 1815 by Peter Simon Lamine, who repeats his own motif from 1774 at the Schwetzingen Palace Park.
The background of the ancient mythical figure is formed by yew trees, which merge into the remaining vegetation of barberries, forest vines, blackberries and ferns.
In the southern garden section of the Amalienburg and the entire landscape park are only paths that in a variety of curves form a greater network with an irregular floor plan.
It conveys a feeling of informal movement in a landscape that represents a separate, self-contained cosmos in order to detach the visitor from the everyday world.
A significant proportion of the paths leads through forest, the edge of which is designed in many places in such a way that it does not always reach the path, which was a typical design principle of Friedrich Ludwig Sckell.
The forested area of the Baroque garden used to be part of an extensive forest that reached into the Starnberg area and of which only remnants are preserved.
This path offers an interesting alternative far from the hustle and bustle of tourism, since this path shows the palace park from its unkept side.
The term ha-ha was introduced to gardening in the early 18th century and its construction method was described by Antoine-Joseph Dézallier d’Argenville.
Inside the Nymphenburg Park are four ha-has, three large and a smaller one, as three are in the southern part of the park.
A special attraction are the long visual aisles, which can be seen from the garden-side palace stairs and invite to calm views and light experiences, shadows and color nuances depending on the time of day and season.
The west-facing central axis leads the eye along the canal to the distant cascade, over which the sunset can be observed on summer evenings, which Friedrich Ludwig Sckell left when he transformed it into a landscape park.
To the right and left of the central axis, two symmetrical visual aisles lead into the park landscape and convey an illusion of infinity.
These three lines of sight, already present in the French garden, were integrated into the landscape park by Sckell, yet also extended beyond the park boundaries via the ha-has.
The South Vista consists of a lawn path towards the west-south-west as it also begins at the basin of the Central canal, but continues to open and leads over the northern tip of the larger Badenburg Lake.
On the west bank of the lake, the visual aisle is led as a narrow lawn band to the park boundary, where it is also extended by a ha-ha.
The original landscape design concept of Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell centered around domestic tree species and the woods of the local oak-hornbeam forest with among oak and hornbeam include ash, sycamore - and Norway maple, winter and summer lindens, as well as occasional pines and spruces.
To create atmosphere or add nuances to particular places, von Sckell planted large, small, slender or wide, fast- or slow-growing tree and shrub species in groups, rows or clusters.
In the northern park sector he planted: linden trees (at the Pagodenburg), that transitioned into a thicket of dense mixed forest to the north.
In the southern sector he planted: also linden trees (near the Badenburg), alder trees (on the Badenburg Lake islands), silver poplars and towering Italian poplars (along the north shore of the Badenburg Lake), robinia trees (at the Temple of Apollo).
Oak trees once stood at the Magdalenenklause and Sckell had the Amalienburg enclaved in a spruce grove, occasional trees of life and Virginian juniper.
The shrub and hedge layer is not very pronounced and largely limited to a few rows alongside some paths and widely scattered individual shrubs.
Adaptive tree species have established riparian forest habitats in ravines, depressions, trenches and canals, where in addition to oak and hornbeam, ash and alder do occur.
Apart from the lawns on the Garden parterre, all of the park meadows are unfertilized and mown only once a year.
The meadow sage, the brown knapweed, burclover, oxlip, daisy, eyebright and germander speedwell are among the flowering plants of the park meadows.
It consists of erect brome and heath false brome with bulbous buttercup, large-flowered selfheal, clustered bellflower and sunflower as character types.
The park's lakes are emptied once a year, which prevents vegetation from forming in the water, and are almost entirely enclosed by artificial banks.
Numerous water birds such as the mute swan, geese and ducks as well as the carp in the lakes benefit from intensive feeding by park visitors.
The Nymphenburg Park with its diverse landscape elements offers, in addition to its cultural inheritance and recreational function, a habitat for many plant and animal species.
Noctule bats and common pipistrelle live in the park, the Daubenton's bat was sporadically detected and the Nathusius's pipistrelle is suspected as a guest.
Among the breeding birds, the Eurasian hobby, the Eurasian sparrowhawk, the common kingfisher, the European pied flycatcher and the wood warbler are particularly noteworthy.
Numerous butterfly species can be found on calcareous grasslands, such as meadow brown, silver-washed fritillary, common brimstone, orange tip and purple emperor.
The Nymphenburg Canal to the east and the line of sight to Blutenburg Castle in the west offer only narrow connections that are highly disturbed in their ecological function.
There are several natural monuments in the park: two groups of six and nine old yew trees near the Amalienburg, as well as outstanding individual trees.
Human intervention such as care of the lawns, artificial plantings and the removal of dead wood in the context of traffic safety obligations are classified under low intensity.
The gardens of the Nymphenburg Palace experienced their greatest changes with the creation of the landscape park by Ludwig von Sckell.
These include Stourhead in England (by Henry Hoare the Younger), Ermenonville in France (by René Louis de Girardin), Wörlitz in Anhalt (by Franz von Anhalt-Dessau), Alameda de Osuna (by Maria Josefa Pimentel) in Spain and Arkadia in Poland (by Helene Radziwiłł).
What they have in common is a new understanding of the relationship between man and nature and social reform approaches based on the equality of all people, as Jean-Jacques Rousseau had propagated in his writings.
The renovation of the existing gardens consumed immense sums of money, which quite likely matched the costs of the creation of actual Baroque gardens.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the construction of a landscape garden was in no way an expression of a utopia or revolutionary idea.
The desire of the monarchy for peace was perhaps nowhere as recognizable as in the harmonious design of the new Nymphenburg landscape.
The Nymphenburger Park reveals this in its iconological program: the large number of antique statues of the gods are dedicated to the monarchy and allude to the divine hierarchical order as the basis of all moral values.
This was the only way to disconnect from Rousseau's ideas and to link the new garden style to traditional elements, as symbolized by the water axis, the Pagodenburg and the Badenburg.
The maintenance of the park requires the integration of the preservation of historical garden art monuments, nature protection, recreational use by the visitors and traffic safety obligations.
It compares the historical documents with the current state and develops cautious measures to bring the park's appearance closer to its origin.
Due to the sensitivity of visitors to tree felling, interventions are carried out step by step and with a long planning horizon of around 30 years.

Most of the composition's movements are either choral movements, in which all singers and instruments participate, or duets for two singers and a more limited instrumental accompaniment.
Pietro Torri likely wrote his Magnificat in the 1690s, when he was in the service of Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria.
In that period Torri followed his employer to the Spanish Netherlands (1692) and was later deputized to Hanover (1696), only returning to Bavaria in 1701.
Torri's Magnificat disseminated via manuscript copies: one of such manuscripts, from the Bokemeyer collection, is conserved in the Berlin State Library, another is in the British Library.
The 15 voices can also be defined as singers (8), trumpets (2), strings (4) and basso continuo (1), meaning that the bassoon can be seen as part of the continuo group, together with the organ.
After an orchestral introduction, dominated by tutti chords, the sopranos of both choirs sing the first verse of the canticle in unison, on the tune of sixth Psalm tone setting of the Magnificat, while the trumpets play , with an orchestral accompaniment.
The second movement, setting the third verse of the Magnificat, is a duet for the alto and tenor of the first choir, accompanied by both trumpets and the continuo.
The third movement, setting the next verse of the Magnificat, is another duet: soprano and bass of the first choir sing, accompanied by the continuo.
The fourth movement, taking a central place in the composition, is a stile antico setting of the fifth verse of the canticle, for all four voices of the first choir, and continuo.
The fifth movement, setting the next verse of the Magnificat, is a duet for the alto and tenor of the second choir, accompanied by two violin voices, and continuo.
The seventh movement, setting the ninth verse of the Magnificat, is the last duet, for soprano and bass of the second choir, and continuo.
The eighth movement is again for all forces (), setting the next verse of the Magnificat, and the first half of the Doxology.
Antonio Caldara's , which Bach copied and arranged around the same time (BNB I/C/1 and BWV 1082), carries the name of the original composer in the header of Bach's manuscript.
By 1841 Bach's manuscript was owned by the Royal Library at Berlin (later converted to the Berlin State Library), where it was classified as Mus.ms.
Bach P 195: before that it was owned by, among others, Bach's son Carl Philipp Emanuel, Bach's student Johann Christian Kittel, and, from 1809, , a collector of music by Bach and other Baroque composers.
Kittel had a copy made of Bach's manuscript, and Poelchau added a flyleaf to it, on which he indicated Bach as its composer.
In 1732, some two decades after he had published Bach's Magnificat (BWV 243.1), however, Poelchau had doubts about Bach's authorship of the Magnificat for double choir and orchestra, writing that it was likely composed by Caldara or Lotti.
The did not retain the Magnificat for eight voices and orchestra in the collected edition it published of Bach's works in the second half of the 19th century.
Before the end of the 20th century also the editors of the New Bach Edition had decided not to include the work in their complete edition of Bach's work.
The next year a facsimile of a manuscript copy of Torri's Magnificat became available on-line at the website of the Berlin State Library, in 2016 followed by a facsimile of Bach's manuscript of the BWV Anh.

Between September and October 2005, using his salesman job as a ruse, he killed 14 pensioners in Pskov, Chuvashia and most notably the Rostov Oblast, stealing their belongings afterwards.
He committed his first murder in his hometown of Pskov, on September 20th, killing a 93-year-old woman, before moving to Rostov-on-Don.
Denis got a job as a salesman to commit his crimes, chosing lonely elderly people as victims, as their children and grandchildren often lived far away.
He managed to sell a wide variety of electrical household appliances to the pensioners, which, for the most part, were unnecessary.
To the first victim, he sold an electric kettle for 1,500 rubles, and to another man, who was almost 100 years old, he gave an electric massager.
Moreover, it was rather important for him to communicate with them, as they willingly gave the young man money for the unnecessary house appliaces.
They especially agreed to the purchase when they were told by Denis that he would drop by again, in case they needed assistance with the product or couldn't understand the instructions properly.
To confuse law enforcement, he operated in different cities: starting in Pskov, he committed additional murders in Cheboksary, Rostov-on-Don, Morozovsk, Tsimlyansk, Aksay, Bataysk and finally Zimovniki.
After killing an elderly man in Morozovsk, where everyone knew each other, it became clear that a killer was operating in the area, penetrating through the houses of the elderly.
At the end of 2012, it turned out that there were enough fingerprints left, and that they could be used to track down the killer.
They had money, they saved for a rainy day.An employee of the company which Kalinin worked at also recalled one interesting conversation with him:He appeared to be an ordinary person, inconspicuous.

Mikhail Ustinovich was born on March 12, 1958, inside a prison colony in Komsomolskoye village, Tyumen Oblast, where his mother was serving a sentence.
In a fight with other juvenile delinquents, he was seriously injured on the head, as a result of which Ustinovich's sight deteriorated significantly.
In total, at the time of his final arrest at 35 years of age, Mikhail had spent a total of 22 years of his life behind bars.
He was released into a completely different country, where the fate of the cities was decided by criminal groups, and he couldn't resist it.
While robbing with his accomplices, Ustinovich did not hide his face; moreover, he and the others did everything possible to be remembered.
The truth was that Ustinovich, while serving his sentence in 1989, had met Volovik and was struck by how similar he looked.
In 1993, Moscow was frightened by the exploits of a man dressed as an officer, who robbed apartments and sometimes killed the owners.
The hat lost by Ustinovich in the Lubyansky shopping center was brought up again, which served as some of the strongest evidence to his guilt.
On August 23, 1996, the Moscow City Court sentenced Ustinovich to an exceptional measure of punishment - the death penalty, which was subsequently replaced with life imprisonment.
When journalists came to interview and ask him a question, that being would he like to be in prison forever, he replied that he preferred the death penalty, because such a life is worse than any death.

The Industrial and Administrative Group is a heritage-listed historic precinct on Murray Road overlooking Flying Fish Cove in the Australian territory of Christmas Island.
1 Tank Farm displaying strafe marks, the Hardware Store, the Down Hill Conveyer from Drumsite to the Dry Storage Bins, and the phosphate loading cantilevers at the wharf.
This area has been the focus of industrial and administrative activity on the Island since its earliest occupation and includes evidence of each phase of settlement on the island.
The site of Clunies-Ross' original plantation settlement has been the subject of intensive redevelopment and no above-ground evidence of it is apparent today.
The one remaining indication of this phase of occupation is an inscription on the rockface, near the Asian Clerk's Quarters, which commemorates the completion of the first road on the island in 1894.
Despite the efficiency of the incline it appears that a second attempt to construct a chute system was undertaken in the 1930s.
A lower level rail loading facilities were constructed for movement of the ore to the shore was constructed in conjunction with the chute, however, it appears this system was not successful and the incline remained the main system for moving the ore from the plateau to the lower terrace.
More recent structures of interest include the storage tanks and Hardware Store with their evidence of Japanese strafing, and the down hill conveyer and phosphate loading cantilevers which form a strong visual focus for the area and are a constant reminder of the long term importance of phosphate mining to Christmas Island.

The war memorial at British Medical Association House, Tavistock Square, Bloomsbury, London, commemorates men and women of the medical professions from the British Empire and Commonwealth who died in the Second World War.
Unveiled in 1954 by Sir John McNee, then President of the BMA, and dedicated by Geoffrey Fisher, the Archbishop of Canterbury, it became a Grade II* listed structure in 1998.
Tavistock Square was first developed in 1806 by James Burton for Francis Russell, 5th Duke of Bedford, as part of the latter's development of his Bedford Estate.
Thomas Cubitt continued the construction of the western half of the square in 1825–26, following – though improving on – Burton's general design for the eastern frontages.
The site of the present BMA House was originally the location of Tavistock House, whose residents had included Charles Dickens and, later, the singer Georgina Weldon.
Tavistock House was demolished in the early 20th century and from 1911, was replaced by the current building designed by Edwin Lutyens as the British headquarters of the Theosophical Society.
The building was commandeered by the War Office during the First World War and by the 1920s, when it was returned to the Theosophists, the Society lacked the funds necessary for completion.
The unfinished building was sold to the BMA in 1923, which at first re-engaged Lutyens, and subsequently employed Cyril Wontner-Smith, to complete it.
The British and Commonwealth medical dead of World War I are commemorated by a wide wrought iron memorial screen with a central pair of gates and two side gates, installed between the east and west courtyards at BMA House.
Over the central gate is the BMA badge, a gilded serpent of Asclepius, and a shield with bearing the words on the west side and on the east side, with a dedication to 574 medical officers killed in the war on a separate plaque nearby.
The World War I memorial was dedicated by Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury, on 13 July 1925, the day when the BMA's new building was officially opened by King George V and Queen Mary.

Valery Nikolaevich Skoptsov (born August 1, 1951 - April 12, 2004), known as the Villain of all Trades, was a Russian criminal and serial killer, who was known for committing a variety of crimes around the USSR and then after Russia, ranging from thefts to murders.
He was a talented and gifted child, graduating from a music school in three years, while most of his peers did in seven.
In addition, Valery graduated from his high school with a gold medal, and at the same, while also attending an art school, he participated in numerous poetry competitions, often winning them.
On the other hand, his stepbrother, Sergei Turaev, was the exact opposite: he did not want to study or work, often stole and drank too much.
At one point, the two brothers ransacked a neighboring cottage, for which they were reprimanded, but weren't hindered at all by this.
Skoptsov took the blame, and after a mental examination by the Serbsky Institute, he was declared insane, with a diagnosis of schizophrenia.
He soon left the medical university, as it was forbidden for somebody to study as a doctor if they were schizophrenic, and so, he enrolled into a cultural enlightenment school.
He stole some from the library's closed fund, only chosing the most valuable: the altar gospel and a number of books on hymns, ancient Russian paintings and icons.
Skoptsov became heavily sought after in the criminal world, due to his impressive printmaking skills - the making of seals and stamps, and, by extension, falsification of documents.
After working hard as a printmaker, he peaked in quality: the documents created by him were visually impossible to distinguish from real ones.
Soon after their release, the two brothers went to work in the Byelorussian SSR, where they made fences for village cemeteries.
On the night of February 24, 1989, in the town of Obol, Vitebsk Region, Skoptsov and Turaev broke into the state farm cash desk: they cracked open the safe with the help of a thermal lance, in which they found 168 rubles and 32 kopecks.
In October 1990, he carjacked a car from a garage cooperative in Veliky Novgorod and, after changing the license plates and forging the documents, sold it.
His places of residence, along with the areas he committed crimes, constantly changed, moving mainly between the Northwestern and Central parts of Russia.
Namely, he had stayed in St. Petersburg and Veliky Novgorod, as well as the Ryazan, Tula, Kaluga, Bryansk, Oryol and Smolensk oblasts.
At the end of 1993, Skoptsov was driving a stolen car through the Smolensk Oblast, when he was stopped by traffic police.
He offered them a bribe, and he was not arrested for hijacking: he handed the officers expensive products that were in the car, as well as the car itself.
By the time the authorities discovered a warehouse worth of fake documents and an unique musical instrument/firearm hybrid made from an ordinary squeezebox, Valery was very far ahead of them.
In February 1995, he raped an 11-year-old girl in the village of Zhuchki, in Smolensk Oblast, who barely escaped with her life.
After that, Valery moved to the Oryol Oblast, and at the Lesnaya Polyana recreation center, he got himself acquainted with Mikhail Karpukhin, an alcoholic watchman who also had a part time job as an entertainer.
On the night of August 3, 1995, Skoptsov and Karpukhin committed a double murder along the 24th kilometer of the Oryol-Bryansk highway, taking with them a VAZ-2105 Zhigula and dumping the corpses in a nearby pond afterwards.
There, he also set up his car, which functioned as his workshop: in it, he had many machines, pesticides, artisanal devices for making seals, and much more.
At the last moment, they provided some first aid to Valery, telling him that he would now work free of charge, and that his trailer would be converted into a warehouse.
Wanting to exact revenge, Skoptsov lured Manuilov, Pogasyan and their associate Irina Streltsova into the trailer, where he shot them all with a converted sawed-off shotgun, which fired live flare gun ammunition, before he set off to Bryansk, where he believed that Manuilov's wife had a significant amount in dollars.
On June 20, 1996, after having a bottle of vodka with Svetlana Manuilova and her friend, Lyudmila Sinichenko, he killed both, but found no money.
After this, Skoptsov began feeling very ill, barely reaching the swamps on the outskirts of Bryansk before losing consciousness: likely a result from poor quality vodka.
Subsequently, the duo committed another double murder, reminiscent of the one done with Karpukhin, one of the victims being a police officer.
Despite this, while browsing through the files of the MOI, Skoptsov was recognized by the officers via a snapshot, as a wanted criminal who has been on the run for 7 years.
He got a job as a singing and drawing teacher at a local school, gaining high authority among staff and students alike.
Mikhail Karpukhin got 8 years at a corrective labor colony, while Sergei Sharipov died of tuberculosis at the Oryol detention center.
West Ham won the first leg 2–1 away, but were beaten 1–0 at Upton Park, with Geoff Hurst having a late penalty saved by his England international team-mate Gordon Banks three minutes from the end.
The teams then drew 0–0 after extra time in a replay at Hillsborough, and the tie was eventually decided when Stoke won a dramatic second replay 3–2 at Old Trafford, seven weeks after the sides had first met.
The game was memorable for Bobby Moore having a stint in goal after West Ham's goalkeeper Bobby Ferguson went off injured, and saving a penalty from Stoke's Mike Bernard, only for Bernard to score from the rebound.
West Ham's form suffered after the League Cup defeat, and they won just four more League matches before the end of the season.
In the FA Cup, they struggled past non-League Hereford United in a replay, but were then eliminated by relegation-threatened Huddersfield Town in the fifth round.

Gennady Grigorievich Serebrennikov (born April 3, 1958) is a Russian serial killer and former major of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who killed 5 witnesses related to his son's 2003 trial.
In 1981, Serebrennikov entered the Yelabuga Special Secondary Police School of the MVD, from which he graduated with honors in 1983.
Gennady worked for twenty years at the District Department of Internal Affairs in the city of Omsk, after which he retired with the rank of major.
According to the recollections of people who knew him, he was ready to do anything in order to maintain the authority entrusted to him.
Even though his father served with the police, Grigori was allegedly involved in brigandage, but when the search warrant disappeared from the prosecutor's office, he was released.
Once, Gennady and Grigori caught the two drug dealers who sold heroin to Viktor and dragged them to the bathhouse, where they brutally beat and even raped them, filming everything on a camera.
On October 26, 2000, Grigori Serebrennikov, along with three accomplices - the Chikirevs and Sergei Okoneshnikov - burst into the apartment of entrepreneur Marina Matantseva and tied up her underage son, who was at home.
Some time later, at the Khimik gardening partnership, Serebrennikov fought with his drinking buddies, as a result of which one of them died.
His first victim was Sergei Okoneshnikov, whom, after fleeing from Matantseva's apartment, he was deceived into a cottage and killed with a sawed-off shotgun.
During a walk, Grigori shot her, then, together with his father, chopped off her head with a shovel and buried the body in the ground.
As it later turned out, Gennady initialy wanted to entrust the murder of Nikiforova to a certain Denis Latyshev, but he refused, as a result of which the former police major shot him, before finishing him off with a shiv.
In the summer of 2003, Alexander Chikirev was released on parole earlier than supposed to, because he agreed to assist the investigation and testify against the still-wanted Okoneshnikov.
At the time, Grigori Serebrennikov had already been arrested, and Gennady tried to persuade Chikirev not to testify, but to no avail.
As a result, on the night of July 13-14, 2003, Gennady Serebrennikov snuck into the private house where Chikirev and his pregnant fiancée Anna Kiseleva were sleeping in.
He then gave Burim vodka, got him drunk, dragged him on the street and then stabbed him to death with a knife, simulating a robbery-oriented murder.
Two circumstances led to the discovery and capture of Gennady Serebrennikov - the fact that he talked about his crimes to his son Viktor, and that he forced Grigori to kill Nikiforova.
The Omsk Oblast Court sentenced Gennady Serebrennikov to life imprisonment in a corrective labor colony, while his son Grigori received 15 years.
The Supreme Court of Russia upheld the verdict, and currently, Serebrennikov is serving his sentence in the White Swan prison, in Perm Krai.

Prior to turning to MMA, he was trained in both freestyle wrestling and Greco-Roman wrestling, competing in over 200 combined matches, in addition to participating in the Southeast Asian Games and Asian Games as a Greco-Roman wrestler.
He started out with only freestyle wrestling but later picked up Greco-Roman wrestling as well, where he would compete under both styles.

Sergey Alexandrovich Maduev (born Ali Arbievich Maduev on June 17, 1956 - December 10, 2000) was one of the famous Soviet brigands, as well as a serial killer.
Despite beginning his criminal activity in the 1970s, his most high-profile crimes occurred at the very end of the 1980s, which is why Maduev today is regarded as one of the last criminals of the Soviet era.
Maduev achieved notoriety after an unsuccessful attempt to escape from Kresty Prison in March 1991, with the help of a female investigator whom he had seduced.
Ali Arbievich Maduev was born in a Karaganda prison, in the Kazakh SSR, the fourth child of a Chechen man convicted of resisting deportation and a Korean woman convicted of speculation.
Sergey began to steal at the age of six, and in August 1974, he received his first prison term by the Karasay District Court in Almaty Region, whom gave him 6 years for complicity of theft.
After leaving prison in 1980, Maduev engaged in various thefts and robberies, for which he was given another 15 years imprisonment in February 1981.
During his second term, Maduev withstood an attack by 12 criminals, who intended to kill him because he had appropriated an obtshak of some thieves in law from Tbilisi and Tashkent.
In 1988, Maduev was transferred to an open prison, from which he immediately fled and was put on a wanted list.
At first, a wave of impudent thefts and robberies swept across the USSR - Maduev's tracks covered the areas of Siberia, the Moscow Oblast and Grozny.
In another instance, one of Maduev's victims suddenly felt ill, after which Sergey went to a pharmacy in a neighboring house and called an ambulance for the person he had just robbed.
In order to cover their tracks, the two criminals set fire to the house, burning alive the couple's 1-year-old son in the process.
A white Volga was also seen at the crime scene, and when the car was found later on, another bullet, fired from the same pistol, was also located.
After this, Maduev travelled around the country: in the Uzbek SSR, he stole 200,000 rubles from some thieves in law's obtshak, flying under the criminals' radar.
In the same year, Sergey committed a number of robberies in Leningrad, one of which ended with a severe wound to the victim.
After much persuasion, he agreed to be sent to the police station, where, on his orders, the officer burned Maduev's notebook.
Having no doubts that he would be executed, he willingly testified, handed over his accomplices, indicated the crime scenes and signed the protocols without even reading them.
On May 3, 1991, the convoy was supposed to take Maduev to Moscow, where two of his accomplices were already serving sentences - the Murzabekov brothers.
Unexpectedly for the guards, Sergey pulled out a revolver from his bosom, shot at the wall and ordered to be released.
It turned out that it was a revolver stolen from a safe in the prosecutor's office, with which Maduev had committed his murders in Leningrad and Tashkent.
One of the colonels, Vladimir Georgiev, figured out who had provided the weapon: it was Natalya Vorontsova, an investigator from the team assigned to the Maduev case.
Maduev tried to escape on two other occasions: on the first try, he tried to escape using a pistol, which was hidden in some bread.
On July 10, 1995, the St. Petersburg City Court sentenced Sergey Maduev to death for two of the murders, and many of his other crimes.
Initially, Maduev was housed in Kresty Prison and then in Novocherkassk, and in November 2000, he was transferred to the Black Dolphin Prison.

Benjamin Webb (28 November 1819 – 27 November 1885) was an English clergyman and co-founder of the Cambridge Camden Society; he was known as a leading authority on questions of ecclesiastical art.
Webb was born in London at Addle Hill, Doctor's Commons, on 28 November 1819, eldest son of Benjamin Webb, of the firm of Webb & Sons, wheelwrights.
In 1828 he was admitted to St Paul's School under Dr , and proceeded with an exhibition to Trinity College, Cambridge, in October 1838.
While still an undergraduate he, together with his somewhat older friend, John Mason Neale, founded the Cambridge Camden Society, which played an important part in the ecclesiological revival consequent upon the Tractarian movement, and of which Webb continued to be secretary, both at Cambridge and afterwards in London (where it continued from 1848 under the name of the Ecclesiological Society), from its beginning to its extinction in 1863.
The society restored the Round Church at Cambridge, and Webb had the honour of showing the restored edifice to the poet Wordsworth.
He was ordained deacon in 1842 and priest in 1843, and served as curate first under his college tutor, Thomas Thorp (who had been the first president of the Cambridge Camden Society), at Kemerton in Gloucestershire, and afterwards at Brasted in Kent, under William Hodge Mill, who, as Regius Professor of Hebrew, had countenanced and encouraged his ecclesiological work at Cambridge, and whose daughter he married in 1847.
Beresford Hope was heir to an estate in Sheen in Staffordshire, and he rebuilt St Luke's Church at Sheen; in 1851 he presented Webb to the perpetual curacy of the village.
In that year Lord Palmerston, on the recommendation of Mr Gladstone, gave him the crown living of St Andrew's, Wells Street, London, which he retained till his death.
Under him this church obtained a wide celebrity for the musical excellence of its services, and became the centre of an elaborate and efficient system of confraternities, schools, and parochial institutions, in establishing which his powers of practical organisation found a congenial field of exercise.
He died at his house in Chandos Street, Cavendish Square, on 27 November 1885, and was buried in the churchyard of Aldenham in Hertfordshire.

The next two seasons would see her align with Lamborghini, contesting the 2017 Super Trofeo Europe Championship – finishing 14th in the Pro-Am class – and various endurance races in 2018, finishing second in class at the 2018 24 Hours of Spa.
Despite not contesting all of the rounds in either season she competed in, she finished third and second overall in consecutive seasons.
She retired from the first race having out-braked herself and crashed into Emma Kimiläinen, and found herself on the sidelines for the fourth round having finished 14th and 17th in the intervening races.
A win in a non-championship experimental race at TT Circuit Assen would boost her reputation, but the 14th place from the second round at Zolder proved her best result – finishing the season last in the standings with no points and was dropped from the program for 2020.

Phosphate Hill Historic Area is a heritage-listed historic precinct located 1km east of Poon Saan in the Australian territory of Christmas Island.
The Phospate Hill Historic Area is an approximately 18ha precinct on the eastern slopes of Phosphate Hill, located 1km east of the settlement of Poon Saan.
Oral tradition on the Island has it that labourers (originally Chinese) scraped and brushed the ore into baskets, which were then tipped into wheelbarrows or directly into skip railway hoppers.
There are remnants of this skip railway system on the hill in the form of embankments and a light gauge railway line along which the hoppers were moved.
The ore was taken to the edge of the upper terrace to be transported to the bottom terrace at the Cove.
Oral tradition suggests the phosphate was packed in drums at the upper level and rolled down the hill to the lower terrace.
Remains of an early chute system suggests that this method was soon replaced with a more efficient system in which the loose ore was tipped into a chute at the top and then allowed to run down to the bottom terrace.
Shovelling may have been necessary to maintain the flow at places and it seems the sides of the chute had provision for cable operated scoops that dragged the ore downwards.
Manual mining techniques resulted in a moonscape of limestone pinnacles as all phosphate was removed from around the limestone pinnacles and there was little soil left to support regrowth.
This contrasts with more recently mined areas where machines have left a much more level surface and enough phosphate and soil to allow limited regrowth.
One physical remnant of this early period is the Phosphate Hill cemetery and the marker for the cemetery which is located on the main road.
The Phosphate Hill area is historically significant as the location of the first commercial mining of phosphate on the Island and the first phase of an industry that was to determine the history of the Island and the development of the Christmas Island community.
The current landscape of exposed limestone pinnacles and industrial remains is an uncommon and evocative reminder of the extent and efficiency and methodology of manual mining techniques.
The historic burial ground, which contains many of the early labourers who died of beri beri or dietary deficiencies, is a significant reminder of the hardships endured by the early indentured Asian labourers and a reflection of the multi-racial basis for the current community.

Ján Spišiak (12 January 1901 – 14 November 1981) was a Slovak lawyer who specialized in business law, who worked for much of his career as the legal representative of Tatra banka.
From 1 January 1940 to 1 October 1944, he was the Slovak ambassador to Hungary, for which he received no remuneration.
In November 1939 at a meeting in Budapest, he told the United States ambassador that Slovakia enjoyed considerable independence under German protection.
Spišiak believed that a German victory would be disastrous for its allies in southeastern Europe, but he did not think that it was a likely outcome.
In early 1941 in a meeting with Soviet diplomat Nikolai Sharonov, he predicted the German invasion of the Soviet Union before it occurred, but said that Slovakia preferred friendly relations between Moscow and Budapest.
Following the German invasion of Hungary in March 1944, he issued letters of protection to 3,000 Slovak Jews who had fled to Hungary in 1942, allowing them to legally cross the border and return home.
After the Siege of Budapest ended in a Soviet victory, he was arrested by SMERSH on 8 February 1945 and deported to Moscow.
A criminal case was opened against him in 1947 but dropped later that year, as a result of his testimony against the Slovak State government and a recommendation by the Slovak resistance movement.
Following his retirement in 1961 (even though he would have preferred to keep working), Spišiak lived on a pension until his death in Bratislava on 14 November 1981.

The Moriwaki MD211VF was a racing motorcycle made by Moriwaki Engineering, which was used in the MotoGP class of Grand Prix motorcycle racing from 2003 until 2005 in various wildcard entries.
After minor participations in the 500 and 250cc classes in the past, with riders like Shunji Yatsushiro and Osamu Hiwatashi entering back in the 1980s on Moriwaki coloured Honda NSR250, the company's owner Mamoru Moriwaki wanted to return to grand prix motorcycle racing in the early 2000s, aiming to officially return in 2004.
Plans to enter the class with a newly designed bike using Honda RC211V V5 engine were as early as 2001 as a result of the 500cc class coming to an end in 2002, being rebranded as the MotoGP class, but did not come to fruition until 2003 when it entered the class as a wildcard rider.
Before the start of the 2003 season, Moriwaki tested their motorbike during the tests for wildcard riders at the Motegi circuit in November 2002 with Masao Okuno.
Moriwaki entered their MD211VF in 2003 as a wildcard entry in two rounds, the Japanese and Pacific rounds, the driver line-up consisting of Tamaki Serizawa on both occasions.
Initially, Moriwaki had not planned to enter the sport so quickly, but an entry slot came free when the WCM team offered one of their seats because they weren't able to prepare one of their bikes in time for the race.
Development in 2004 was unsure at first, the team not knowing whether to compete a full season or continue to enter in wildcard appearances only.
During the off-season however, Dunlop chose to favour Moriwaki over the factory Kawasaki team and signed the team to become a development team for their tyres.
The driver line-up had changed this year, Serizawa was let go and the team brought on board Australian Andrew Pitt and later on experienced Frenchman Olivier Jacque to ride a total of five races - all as wildcard appearances still.
Moriwaki participated for the first time in Europe, at the Italian grand prix, where Pitt finished seventeenth and last after insufficient fuel supply caused him to lose fourteenth place.
At the next round in Catalunya however, he took the team's first ever points by finishing fourteenth, granting him two points.
For the first time in 30 years, the company had decided to not enter the Suzuka 8 Hours race this year, instead opting to focus its efforts on MotoGP racing instead.
At round 10 of the season in the Czech Republic, Pitt finished in sixteenth place, narrowly missing out on one point.
In Japan, he immediatly scored a good result for the team by finishing eleventh, moving up from 21st to twelfth before he inherited the position after Troy Bayliss slid out of contention with five laps to go, scoring five points for the team - the highest position and most points the team had scored.
The new driver line-up consisted of veteran Tohru Ukawa and rookie Naoki Matsudo, the team only competing in two rounds of the season - the Chinese and Japanese rounds.
Major-General Sir James Syme Drew (1883 – 1955) was a decorated British Army officer who saw service during both the world wars.
He served as Aide-de-camp to the King, commanded the 52nd (Lowland) Infantry Division, was Colonel to the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, and became Director-General of the Home Guard and Territorial Army.
James Syme Drew was born on 1 September 1883 in Manchester, England, the youngest son of Thomas Auchterlonie Drew of Fallowfield, a master calico printer, and Elizabeth Beatrice Jane (née Syme), daughter of James Syme Esquire – manager of the British Linen Banking Company, Scotland.
Although the Drew family was of Scottish ancestry (at least 6 generations on both sides) in the early 1870's, Drew's grandfather, Alexander of Dalmonach and Blairmore (1815 – 1899), relocated his printing business to Lowerhouse Printworks in Burnley, establishing offices in Glasgow and Manchester.
Drew's father Tom, who was a director of the family printing business in Burnley, settled in the suburbs of Manchester, at Oak House, Fallowfield.
Drew entered Harrow School in 1897, joining his elder brother, Alexander Southerland (1879 – 1970), at Mortons; House Master, Charles Colbeck of Lemmington (1847 – 1903).
In October 1899, Drew was promoted to Lance-Corporal in the school's Rifle Company, perhaps providing the inspiration for a military career.
In January 1901, at the age of 17 years and 4 months, Drew was admitted to Sandhurst Royal Military College as an infantry officer cadet.
In 1902, Drew joined the 2nd Cameron Highlanders in Gibraltar, and was subsequently stationed in Crete in 1903, and Malta in 1904.
Drew was promoted to full Lieutenant on 26 April 1905, as the 2nd Battalion relocated to Pretoria, South Africa, serving under Colonel H H L Malcolm.
In 1910 the Battalion relocated to Bangalore, India where it remained until 1914, when it moved to Poona, shortly before returning to England as war broke out across Europe in August 1914.
Drew was on leave when the British armies were being mobilised but was soon selected by Colonel D W Cameron of Lochiel to serve as the Adjutant to his newly formed 5th (Service) Battalion, the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders, and was duly promoted to the rank of Captain in September 1914.
The 5th (Service) Battalion, Cameron Highlanders, was formed in August 1914, at Inverness, as part of the First New Army and then moved to Aldershot as part of the 26th (Highland) Infantry Brigade of the 9th (Scottish) Division.
In February 1915, the Battalion moved to Guadaloupe Barracks, Bordon and on 10 May 1915 was mobilised for war and landed at Boulogne.
The 5th Cameron Highlanders spent their first two months of the war in reserve but by the end of June were in the trenches in the vicinity of Festubert.
Drew fought with the 5th Cameron Highlanders in the Battle of Loos, notable for being the first battle in which the British used poison gas and the first mass engagement of New Army units.
6.40 am: The Battalion advanced in three lines as follows: A & B in two lines of half companies, third line C company, fourth line D company in Battalion Reserve, with HQ lines and Machine Gunners in the rear.
At 8 pm, orders were received that they would be relieved by a battalion of the Northamptons and by 1.30 am the following morning the 26th Brigade had indeed been relieved by the 73rd Brigade.
Reserve soldiers, including machine gunners and 4 officers of the Battalion, were called up, making the strength of the Battalion in the front line about 150 rank and file.
In the morning of 27 September, the 26th Brigade sent some 100 men up to the Hohenzollern Redoubt to strengthen the 73rd Brigade.
The cost of the operation in casualties for the 5th Cameron Highlanders was great: 18 officers (9 killed, 9 wounded); 644 other ranks (72 killed, 416 wounded, 156 missing).
However, this was dwarfed by the total number of British casualties – almost 60,000 during the course of the main and subsidiary attacks.
In January 1916, Drew was mentioned in the Despatches of Field Marshall John French, gained the Military Cross for his actions in the battle, and was appointed to be the Brigade Major of the 26th (Highland) Infantry Brigade.
In June, Drew was mentioned in the Despatches of Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig and was awarded the rank of Brevet Major.
Drew left the 9th (Scottish) Division in February to take up a Staff appointment with the 15th (Scottish) Division, who would take part in the Battle of Arras and the Battle of Passchendaele.
In December, Drew was again mentioned in Haig's Despatches, for distinguished and gallant services and devotion to duty during the February to September 1917 period, for which he gained the Distinguished Service Award.
On 3 November 1918, Drew was back in France, serving with the 63rd (Royal Naval) Division who had recently taken part in the final Battle of Cambrai.
On 5 November, the Royal Naval Division, as part of XXII Corps, First Army began a three-day advance into Belgium, known as the Passage of the Grande Honnelle, a final phase in the Hundred Days Offensive that virtually ended the First World War.
On 27 February, with the imminent formation of the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR), Drew's Staff appointment with the 29th Division came to an end.
In March 1938, with the outbreak of war with Germany on the horizon, Drew was appointed as a Divisional Commander in Scottish Command and was given command of the 52nd (Lowland) Infantry Division.
The Second World War began on 3 September 1939, after both Britain and France declared war on Germany following the latter's invasion of Poland.
The division was briefly deployed to France, following the Dunkirk evacuation, as part of the Second British Expeditionary Force (2BEF) to cover the withdrawal of Allied forces near Cherbourg during Operation Ariel.
Drew's time with the 52nd Division came to an end in March 1941 and Major-General Sir John Laurie took over command of the Division.

A variant of Proletarian Revolution Theory that came to light shortly after the revision of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security Between the United States and Japan, focusing on the Ainu.
In the early 1970s, a certain tendency of Zenkyoto groups and the Zengakuren began to emerge among other New Left activists in reaction to the stalemate of the All-Campus Joint Struggle League Movement (Zenkyoto).
They believed that the lumpenproletariat could be the main body of the revolution, and that the Ainu people of Japan were also included inside this group.
Ainu political activists Shoji Yuki and Kazuaki Yamamoto, along with others, formed the Ainu Liberation Alliance in 1972, challenging Japanese policy on the Ainu and public perception of the Ainu people.
Yuki became acquainted with Ota around 1972, accompanying him when he read out a public questionnaire at the Japanese Anthropological and Ethnic Association Congress at Sapporo Medical University.
After both were arrested in 1974 for inciting riots (Nolle prosequi), Ota and Yuki mutually criticized each other, with Ota being insulted and isolated.
Eventually, Ota's decline, conversion to becoming an ecologist, and subscription to conspiracy theories led to a rapid decline in the popularity of Ainu Revolution Theory.

Philip Martin Shannon (September 2, 1846 – November 22, 1915) was an American politician, businessman, millionaire, and soldier who discovered oil in Wyoming.
Philip Martin Shannon was born in 1843 in Bradford, Pennsylvania and during his childhood he worked on the oil fields during the early Pennsylvania oil rush.
He discovered the Shannon Oil fields, which were named in his honor, in the early 1880s and gained controlling oil interestes in Texas and Alabama oil fields.
In 1861 he enlisted into the 62nd Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment, but was later honorably discharged in 1862 due to wounds he received from the Battle of Gaines's Mill.
In 1874 he was elected as the Burgess of Millerstown and in 1876 ran for a seat in the Pennsylvania legislature, but did not receive the Republican nomination at the state convention.
In 1884 he visited Wyoming and in 1889 he discovered oil in Wyoming at the Salt Creek Oil Field and later built an oil refinery in 1894.
In 1900 Harry Oscar Lordon, a veteran of the Spanish-American War, attempted to rob Shannon and was found underneath his bed in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel.
Louis Pierre Louvel (born 7 October 1783 at Versailles; died 7 June 1820 in Paris) was the assassin of Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry.
Louvel was the son of a haberdasher, learned the profession of a saddler, and entered in 1806 in the service of the artillery.
After the return of Napoleon from Elba in 1815 he worked as a saddler in the royal stables and also remained later in this position.
The political events of the Bourbon Restauration aroused in him the hatred against this dynasty, and he finally decided to start the extermination of the royal house with the assassination of the youngest member, the Duke of Berry.
When in the night of 13 February 1820 the prince was leaving the Paris opera with his wife to lead her to the carriage Louvel stabbed him with a knife in the right side of the body.

From 1886 to 1907 she was headmistress of the Froebelian Lady Barn House School, which her father had founded in 1873.
She was a founding member of the Manchester University branch of the British Federation of University Women, and a member of Manchester City Council until defeated by a Conservative candidate in 1923.
The church was built in 1990 on the site of an earlier tin tabernacle which had been in use since 1898.
Owing to the expanding population of the town, efforts towards a new church, including fundraising, began during the incumbency of Rev.
H. L. Somers-Cocks, formulated his own scheme for a new church and rectory, and he established a Church Extension Committee to raise the estimated sum of £6,000.
In 1897, construction commenced on the rectory, the foundation stone of which was laid on 7 August by the Bishop of Adelaide, the Right Rev.
Despite the rectory's completion, funds remained too low for construction of the church to commence, prompting the rector to appeal to the Diocesan Church Building Society for a temporary iron church to be loaned to the parish until funds were sufficient.
The purchase of an iron church for a maximum £300 was approved at a meeting of the Bath and Wells Diocesan Societies in 1897.
The iron church was erected on the site of the proposed permanent church and dedicated by the Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Right Rev.
By the time of its opening, the Church Extension Fund had reached approximately £1,800, £1,100 of which had been raised in the parish.
An additional £700 was need to clear the debt of purchasing the land, building the rectory and erecting the iron church.
As funds did not allow the proposed permanent church to be built, the iron building served the parish through most of the 20th century.
During the 1980s, the church began suffering structural issues and was in need of major repair work, prompting an appeal to be launched to raise funds for its replacement with a permanent building.
By this time, most of the required funds had been raised, made up of £105,000 from the sale of the mission rooms (formerly a school) and land on the western side of the site, £80,000 in legacies, £60,000 in donations and £25,000 from the diocese.
It was built using Blue Lias stone and incorporates the bellcote from the iron church, along with a number of furnishings and the organ.

Abattoir Hill, pronounced in Hebrew as Giv'at Bet Hamitbahayim (), is an archaeological site in Tel Aviv, Israel, located near the southern bank of the Yarkon River.
In 1930 ancient burials and tools were discovered upon the construction of an abattoir on top of the hill, hence its name.
Between 1950 and 1953, Israeli archaeologist Jacob Kaplan studied the site, ahead of the construction of new residential units and streets on it.
He discovered the remains of burials and small settlements spanning from the Chalcolithic period to the Persian period (4500 – 332 BCE).
In 1965 and 1970 Kaplan conducted two more excavations next to the slaughterhouse and discovered settlement remains from the Bronze Age and the Persian period.
In June 1998 another salvage excavation was conducted by Kamil Sari after ancient remains were damaged by work of the Electric Corporation.
The boundaries of the site were determined by Jacob Kaplan who first studied the site in the 1950s like so: west: Agripas, Hurkanos, and Yehoshua Bin-Nun streets; south: Nordau Boulevard; east Alexander Yanai street; north: Shimon HaTarsi street.
The earliest evidence of human settlement in Abattoir Hill is found in two caves dated to the Chalcolithic period in the Yanai Street site.
The entrence of the cave faces the Yarkon River in the north, and in front of it lies an eliptical courtyard where installations used for various crafts such as pottery making were discovered.
Several rooms branch out of the cave's hall including one where a mixed layer of ash, potsherds and animal bone was found.
Unlike the previous inhabitants of the Chalcolithic period who buried their dead inside ossuaries, the inhabitants of this settlement cremated the dead and buried only the ashes and scorched bones.
It was dated by Kaplan to the Middle Bronze Age II period, the time of the Hyksos, a Mesopotamian people who ruled over Ancient Egypt at around 1650 – 1550 BCE.
Kaplan believes that this settlement was a small village or an estate owned by a Hyksos nobleman from the nearby Jaffa or Tel Gerisa.
These kilns, as well as many other kilns of the period found in Tel Aviv, indicate a high demand for pottery and high population density, common in this period.
Few remains of the Late Bronze Age (1550 – 1200 BCE) were discovered, leading Kaplan to assume that the human settlement in the site was insignificant back then.
Noteworthy, in the late centuries of this period, especially the 13th century BCE, the excavation determined that the site was completely deserted.
A settlement from the 10th century BCE, the time of the United Kingdom of Israel, was discovered in the Hill Square.
It was also suggested that the assemblage of potsherds from the 8th century BCE are an evidence to local military preparations ahead of the Assyrian attack.
Remains of structures and pottery from the Persian period were found on top of the Nordau 93 Early Bronze Age burial cave.
One of the caves which was successfully excavated had features of a burial cave and on the floor, an abundance of human bones was discovered.
Potsherds were also found and are dated to the Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Early Muslim periods, as well as a worn coin of the 1st century CE.
Archaeologist Yossi Levy who excavated the caves suggested that they were part of Jewish or Samaritan burial, based on their similarity to a Jewish cemetery found in Abu Kabir (4th – 5th century CE) and a Samaritan cemetery in Tel Baruch (5th – 6th century CE).
The problem of two emperors or two-emperors-problem (deriving from the German term Zweikaiserproblem) is the historiographical term for the historical contradiction between the idea of the universal empire, that there was only ever one true emperor at any one given time, and the truth that there were often two (or sometimes more) individuals who claimed the position simultaneously.
The term is mostly used in regards to medieval Europe, in particular, the long-lasting dispute between the Byzantine emperors in Constantinople and the Holy Roman emperors in modern-day Germany and Austria as to which emperor represented the legitimate Roman emperor.
In the view of medieval Christians, the Roman Empire was indivisible and its emperor held a somewhat hegemonic position even over Christians who did not live within the formal borders of the empire.
Since the collapse of the classical Roman Empire during Late antiquity, the Byzantine Empire (which represented its surviving provinces in the East) had been recognized by itself, the Pope and the various new Christian kingdoms throughout Europe as the legitimate Roman Empire.
This changed in 797 when Emperor Constantine VI was deposed and replaced as ruler by his mother, Empress Irene, who was not accepted in the West on account of being a woman.
Over the course of the centuries after Charlemagne's coronation, the dispute in regards to the imperial title would be one of the most contested issues in Holy Roman–Byzantine politics and though military action rarely resulted because of it, the dispute significantly soured diplomacy between the two empires.
On occasion, the imperial title would be claimed by neighbors of the Byzantine Empire, such as Bulgaria and Serbia, which often led to military confrontations.
After the Byzantine Empire was momentarily overthrown by the Catholic crusaders of the Fourth Crusade in 1204 and supplanted by the Latin Empire, the dispute continued even though both emperors now followed the same religious head for the first time since the dispute began.
Though the Latin emperors recognized the Holy Roman emperors as the legitimate Roman emperors, they also claimed the title for themselves, which was not recognized by the Holy Roman Empire in return.
Although the Latin Empire would be destroyed by the resurgent Byzantine Empire under the Palaiologos dynasty in 1261, the Palaiologoi never reached the power of the pre-1204 Byzantine Empire and its emperors would ignore the problem of two emperors in favor of closer diplomatic ties with the west due to a need for aid against the many enemies of their empire.
Their claim to the imperial title would be rejected by the Holy Roman emperors until 1726, when Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI recognized it as part of brokering an alliance, though he refused to admit that the two monarchs held equal status.
The idea was that the world contained one empire (the Roman Empire) and one church and this idea survived despite the collapse of the empire's western provinces.
Although the last extensive attempt at putting the theory back into practice had been Justinian I's wars of reconquest in the 6th century, which saw the return of Italy and Africa into imperial control, the idea of a great western reconquest remained a dream for Byzantine emperors for centuries.
Because the empire was constantly threatened at critical frontiers to its north and east, the Byzantines were unable to focus much attention to the west and Roman control would slowly disappear in the west once more.
Nevertheless, their claim to the universal empire was acknowledged by temporal and religious authorities in the west, even if this empire couldn't be physically restored.
Gothic and Frankish kings in the fifth and sixth centuries acknowledged the emperor's suzerainty, as a symbolic acknowledgement of membership in the Roman Empire also enhanced their own status and granted them a position in the perceived world order of the time.
A decisive geopolitical turning point in the relations between East and West was during the long reign of emperor Constantine V (741–775).
Though Constantine V conducted several successful military campaigns against the enemies of his empire, his efforts were centered on the Muslims and the Bulgars, who represented immediate threats.
The main Byzantine administrative unit in Italy, the Exarchate of Ravenna, fell to the Lombards in 751, ending the Byzantine presence in northern Italy.
The popes, ostensibly Byzantine vassals, realized that Byzantine support was no longer a guarantee and increasingly began relying on the major kingdom in the West, the Frankish Kingdom, for support against the Lombards.
Imperial authority ceased to be exercised in Corsica and Sardinia and religious authority in southern Italy was formally transferred by the emperors from the popes to the patriarchs of Constantinople.
In 797 the young emperor Constantine VI was arrested, deposed and blinded by his mother and former regent, Irene of Athens.
The Frankish Kingdom had been reorganized and revitalized under king Charlemagne and Pope Leo III had refused to recognize Irene as empress, viewing the idea of a woman emperor as an abomination and seeing the position of Roman emperor as vacant.
When Charlemagne visited Rome for Christmas in 800 he was treated not as one territorial ruler among others, but as the sole legitimate monarch in Europe and on Christmas Day he was proclaimed and crowned by the Pope Leo III as the Emperor of the Romans.
In essence, Byzantine imperial ideology was simply a christianization of the old Roman imperial ideology, which had also been universal and absolutist.
To contemporaries in Western Europe, Charlemagne's key legitimizing factor as emperor (other than papal approval) was the territories which he controlled.
As he controlled formerly Roman lands in Gaul, Germany and Italy (including Rome itself), and acted as a true emperor in these lands, which the eastern emperor was seen as having had abandoned, he thus deserved to be called an emperor.
Although crowned as an explicit refusal of the eastern emperor's claim to universal rule, Charlemagne himself does not appear to have been interested in confrontation with the Byzantine Empire or its rulers.
As such, his imperial title could be seen as stemming from the fact that he was the king of more than one kingdom (equating the title of emperor with that of king of kings), rather than as an usurpation of Byzantine power.
The exact terms discussed are unknown and negotiations were slow but it seems that Charlemagne proposed in 802 that the two rulers would marry and unite their empires.
This plan failed however, as the message only arrived in Constantinople after Irene had been deposed and exiled by a new emperor, Nikephoros I.
One of the primary resources in regards to the problem of two emperors in the Carolingian period is a letter by Emperor Louis II.
Louis II was the fourth emperor of the Carolingian Empire, though his domain was confined to northern Italy as the rest of the empire had fractured into several different kingdoms, though these still acknowledged Louis as the emperor.
Though Basil's letter is lost, its contents can be ascertained from the known geopolitical situation at the time and Louis's reply and probably related to the ongoing co-operation between the two empires against the Muslims.
As illustrated by Louis's letter, the western idea of ethnicity was different from the Byzantine idea; everyone belonged to some form of ethnicity.
The views expressed by the two emperors in regards to ethnicity are somewhat paradoxical; Basil defined the Roman Empire in ethnic terms (defining it as explicitly against ethnicity) despite not considering the Romans as an ethnicity and Louis did not define the Roman Empire in ethnic terms (defining it as an empire of God, the creator of all ethnicities) despite considering the Romans as an ethnic people.
He argued that as the Pope of Rome, who actually controlled the city, had rejected the religious leanings of the Byzantines as heretical and instead favored the Franks and because the Pope had also crowned him emperor, Louis was the legitimate Roman emperor.
The idea was that it was God himself, acting through his vicar the Pope, who had granted the church, people and city of Rome to him to govern and protect.
Louis's letter details that if he wasn't the Emperor of the Romans then he could not be the Emperor of the Franks either, as it was the Roman people themselves who had accorded his ancestors with the imperial title.
In contrast to the Papal affirmation of his imperial lineage, Louis chastized the eastern empire for its emperors mostly only being affirmed by their senate and sometimes lacking even that, with some emperors having been proclaimed by the army, or worse, women (probably a reference to Irene).
Though it would have been possible for either side of the dispute to concede to the obvious truth, that there were now two empires and two emperors, this would have denied the understood nature of what the empire was and meant (its unity).
These references are more likely to mean that Louis still considered there to be a single empire, but with two imperial claimants (an emperor and an anti-emperor so to speak).
His titling of the Byzantine emperor as an emperor in the letter may simply be a courtesy, rather than an implication that he truly accepted his imperial rule.
Louis's letter mentions that the Byzantines abandoned Rome, the seat of empire, and lost the Roman way of life and the Latin language.
In his view, that the empire was ruled from Constantinople did not represent it surviving, but rather that it had fled from its responsibilities.
Although he would have had to approve its contents, Louis probably did not write his letter himself and it was probably instead written by the prominent cleric Anastasius the Librarian.
As such, prominent figures in Rome itself would have shared Louis's views, illustrating that by his time, the Byzantine Empire and the city of Rome had drifted very far apart.
Following the death of Louis in 875, emperors continued to be crowned in the West for a few decades, but their reigns were often brief and problematic and they only held limited power and as such the problem of two emperors ceased being a major issue to the Byzantines, for a time.
The problem of two emperors returned when Pope John XII crowned the King of Germany, Otto I, as Emperor of the Romans in 962, almost 40 years after the death of the previous papally crowned emperor, Berengar.
Otto's repeated territorial claims to all of Italy and Sicily (as he had also been proclaimed as the King of Italy) brought him into conflict with the Byzantine Empire.
The Byzantine emperor at the time, Romanos II, appears to have more or less ignored Otto's imperial aspirations, but the succeeding Byzantine emperor, Nikephoros II, was strongly opposed to them.
Otto, who hoped to secure imperial recognition and the provinces in southern Italy diplomatically through a marriage alliance, dispatched diplomatic envoys to Nikephoros in 967.
Leading Otto's diplomatic mission was Liutprand of Cremona, who chastized the Byzantines for their perceived weakness; losing control of the West and thus also causing the Pope to lose control of the lands which belonged to him.
To Liutprand, the fact that Otto I had acted as a restorer and protector of the church by restoring the lands of the Papacy (which Liutprand believed had been granted to the Pope by Emperor Constantine I), made him the true emperor while the loss of these lands under preceding Byzantine rule illustrated that the Byzantines were weak and unfit to be emperors.
Nikephoros pointed out to Liutprand personally that Otto was a mere barbarian king who had no right to call himself an emperor, nor to call himself a Roman.
Otto's attempted cordial relations with the Byzantine Empire would be hindered by the problem of the two emperors, and the eastern emperors were less than eager to reciprocate his feelings.
In 972, in the reign of Byzantine emperor John I Tzimiskes, a marriage was secured between Otto's son and co-emperor Otto II and John's niece Theophanu.
Otto leaving out any mention of Romans in his imperial title may be because he wanted to achieve the recognition of the Byzantine emperor.
To Liutprand of Cremona and later scholars in the west, the perceived weak and degenerate eastern emperors were not true emperors; there was a single empire under the true emperors (Otto I and his successors), who demonstrated their right to the empire through their restoration of the Church.
In the 1150s, the Byzantine emperor Manuel I Komnenos became involved in a three-way struggle between himself, the Holy Roman emperor Frederick I Barbarossa and the Italo-Norman King of Sicily, Roger II.
Manuel aspired to lessen the influence of his two rivals and at the same time win the recognition of the Pope (and thus by extension Western Europe) as the sole legitimate emperor, which would unite Christendom under his sway.
Manuel reached for this ambitious goal by financing a league of Lombard towns to rebel against Frederick and encouraging dissident Norman barons to do the same against the Sicilian king.
Despite his efforts, Manuel's campaign ended in failure and he won little except the hatred of both Barbarossa and Roger, who by the time the campaign concluded had allied with each other.
Soon after the conclusion of the Byzantine–Norman wars in 1185, the Byzantine emperor Isaac II Angelos received word that a Third Crusade had been called due to Sultan Saladin's 1187 conquest of Jerusalem.
Isaac learnt that Barbarossa, a known foe of his empire, was to lead a large contingent in the footprints of the First and Second crusades through the Byzantine Empire.
Isaac II interpreted Barbarossa's march through his empire as a threat and considered it inconceivable that Barbarossa did not also intend to overthrow the Byzantine Empire.
In his treaties and negotiations with Barbarossa (which exist preserved as written documents), Isaac II was insincere as he had secretly allied with Saladin to gain concessions in the Holy Land and had agreed to delay and destroy the German army.
Barbarossa, who did not in fact intend to take Constantinople, was unaware of Isaac's alliance with Saladin but still wary of the rival emperor.
Isaac was absent at the time, putting down a revolt in Philadelphia, and returned to Constantinople a week after the German embassy arrived, after which he immediately had the Germans imprisoned.
This imprisonment was partly motivated by Isaac wanting to possess German hostages, but more importantly, an embassy from Saladin, probably noticed by the German ambassadors, was also in the capital at this time.
On 28 June 1189, Barbarossa's crusade reached the Byzantine borders, the first time a Holy Roman emperor personally set foot within the borders of the Byzantine Empire.
Although Barbarossa's army was received by the closest major governor, the governor of Branitchevo, the governor had received orders to stall or, if possible, destroy the German army.
On his way to the city of Niš, Barbarossa was repeatedly assaulted by locals under the orders of the governor of Branitchevo and Isaac II also engaged in a campaign of closing roads and destroying foragers.
The lack of markets was excused by Isaac as due to not having received advance notice of Barbarossa's arrival, a claim rejected by Barbarossa, who saw the embassy he had sent earlier as notice enough.
Despite these issues, Barbarossa still apparently believed that Isaac was not hostile against him and refused invitations from the enemies of the Byzantines to join an alliance against them.
While at Niš he was assured by Byzantine ambassadors that though there was a significant Byzantine army assembled near Sofia, it had been assembled to fight the Serbs and not the Germans.
This was a lie, and when the Germans reached the position of this army, they were treated with hostility, though the Byzantines fled at the first charge of the German cavalry.
Isaac II panicked and issued contradictory orders to the governor of the city of Philippopolis, one of the strongest fortresses in Thrace.
Fearing that the Germans were to use the city as a base of operations, its governor, Niketas Choniates (later a major historian of these events), was first ordered to strengthen the city's walls and hold the fortress at all costs, but later to abandon the city and destroy its fortifications.
Furthermore, Isaac II demanded half of any territory to be conquered from the Muslims during the crusade and justified his actions by claiming that he had heard from the governor of Branitchevo that Barbarossa had plans to conquer the Byzantine Empire and place his son Frederick of Swabia on its throne.
In the letters exchanged between Isaac II and Barbarossa, neither side titled the other in the way they considered to be appropriate.
The wine left behind in the abandoned city of Philippopolis had been poisoned, and a second embassy sent from the city to Constantinople by Barbarossa was also imprisoned, though shortly thereafter Isaac II relented and released both embassies.
When the embassies reunited with Barbarossa at Philippopolis they told the Holy Roman emperor of Isaac II's alliance with Saladin, and claimed that the Byzantine emperor intended to destroy the German army while it was crossing the Bosporus.
In retaliation for spotting anti-Crusader propaganda in the surrounding region, the crusaders devastated the immediate area around Philippopolis, slaughtering the locals.
By this point, Barbarossa had become convinced that Constantinople needed to be conquered in order for the crusade to be successful.
On 18 November he sent a letter to his son, Henry, in which he explained to difficulties he had encountered and ordered his son to prepare for an attack against Constantinople, ordering the assembling of a large fleet to meet him in the Bosporus once spring came.
Furthermore, Henry was instructed to ensure Papal support for such a campaign, organizing a great Western crusade against the Byzantines as enemies of God.
As Barbarossa's army, reinforced with Serbian and Vlach allies, approached Constantinople, Isaac II's resolve faded and he began to favor peace instead.
Barbarossa had continued to send offers of peace and reconciliation since he had seized Philippopolis, and once Barbarossa officially sent a declaration of war in late 1189, Isaac II at last relented, realizing he wouldn't be able to destroy the German army and was at risk of losing Constantinople itself.
The peace saw the Germans being allowed to pass freely through the empire, transportation across the Bosporus and the opening of markets as well as compensation for the damage done to Barbarossa's expedition by the Byzantines.
Frederick then continued on towards the Holy Land without any further major incidents with the Byzantines, with the exception of the German army almost sacking the city of Philadelphia after its governor refused to open up the markets to the Crusaders.
To the Byzantines, the devastation of Thrace and efficiency of the German soldiers had illustrated the threat they represented, while in the West, the mistreatment of the emperor and the imprisonment of the embassies would be long remembered.
Frederick Barbarossa died before reaching the Holy Land and his son and successor, Henry VI, pursued a foreign policy in which he aimed to force the Byzantine court to accept him as the superior (and sole legitimate) emperor.
By 1194, Henry had successfully consolidated Italy under his own rule after being crowned as King of Sicily, in addition to already being the Holy Roman emperor and the King of Italy, and he turned his gaze east.
Furthermore, Leo II, the ruler of Cilician Armenia, offered to swear fealty to Henry VI in exchange for being accorded a royal crown.
Henry bolstered his efforts against the eastern empire by marrying a captive daughter of Isaac II, Irene Angelina, to his brother Philip of Swabia in 1195, giving his brother a dynastic claim that could prove useful in the future.
In 1195 Henry VI also dispatched an embassy to the Byzantine Empire, demanding from Isaac II that he transfer a stretch of land stretching from Durazzo to Thessalonica, previously conquered by the Sicilian king William II, and also wished the Byzantine emperor to promise naval support in preparation for a new crusade.
Henry VI intended to force the Byzantines to pay him to ensure peace, essentially extracting tribute, and his envoys put forward the grievances that the Byzantines had caused throughout Barbarossa's reign.
Shortly after agreeing to these terms, Isaac II was overthrown and replaced as emperor by his older brother, Alexios III Angelos.
Henry VI successfully compelled Alexios III as well to pay tribute to him under the threat of otherwise conquering Constantinople on his way to the Holy Land.
Although he would only directly rule his traditional domains, Germany and Italy, his plans were that no other empire would claim ecumenical power and that all Europe was to recognize his suzerainty.
His attempt to subordinate the Byzantine Empire to himself was just one step in his partially successful plan of extending his feudal overlordship from his own domains to France, England, Aragon, Cilician Armenia, Cyprus and the Holy Land.
Based on the establishment of bases in the Levant and the submission of Cilician Armenia and Cyprus, it is possible that Henry VI really considered invading and conqueing the Byzantine Empire, thus uniting the rivalling empires under his rule.
This plan, just as Henry's plan of making the position of emperor hereditary rather than elective, ultimately never transpired as he was kept busy by internal affairs in Sicily and Germany.
A series of unfortunate events and the intervention of Venice led to the Fourth Crusade (1202–1204) sacking Constantinople instead of attacking its intended target, Egypt.
This suggests that, although they had placed a new Catholic emperor, Baldwin I, on the throne of Constantinople and changed the administrative structure of the empire into a feudal network of counties, duchies and kingdoms, the crusaders viewed themselves as taking over the Byzantine Empire rather than replacing it with a new entity.
This is despite the fact that the crusaders, as Western Christians, would have recognized the Holy Roman Empire as the true Roman Empire and its ruler as the sole true emperor and that founding treaties of the Latin Empire explicitly designate the empire as in the service of the Roman Catholic Church.
The idea, which became accepted by Pope Innocent III, saw the formal recognition of Constantinople as an imperial seat of power and its rulers as legitimate emperors, which could rule in tandem with the already recognized emperors in the West.
With the Byzantine reconquest of Constantinople in 1261 under Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos, the Papacy suffered a loss of prestige and endured severe damage to its spiritual authority.
Once more, the easterners had asserted their right not only to the position of Roman emperor but also to a church independent of the one centered in Rome.
The popes who were active during Michael's reign all pursued a policy of attempting to assert their religious authority over the Byzantine Empire.
As Michael was aware that the popes held considerable sway in the west (and wishing to avoid a repeat of the events of 1204), he dispatched an embassy to Pope Urban IV immediately after taking possession of the city.
The two envoys were immediately imprisoned once they sat foot in Italy: one was flayed alive and the other managed to escape back to Constantinople.
From 1266 to his death in 1282, Michael would repeatedly be threatened by the King of Sicily, Charles of Anjou, who aspired to restore the Latin Empire and periodically enjoyed Papal support.
Michael VIII and his successors, the Palaiologan dynasty, aspired to reunite the Eastern Orthodox Church with the Church of Rome, chiefly because Michael recognized that only the Pope could constrain Charles of Anjou.
To this end, Byzantine envoys were present at the Second Council of Lyons in 1274, where the Church of Constantinople was formally reunified with Rome, restoring communion after more than two centuries.
The Union of the Churches aroused passionate opposition from the Byzantine people, the Orthodox clergy, and even within the imperial family itself.
Michael's sister Eulogia, and her daughter Anna, wife of the ruler of Epirus Nikephoros I Komnenos Doukas, were among the chief leaders of the anti-Unionists.
Nikephoros, his half-brother John I Doukas of Thessaly, and even the Emperor of Trebizond, John II Megas Komnenos, soon joined the anti-Unionist cause and gave support to the anti-Unionists fleeing Constantinople.
Nevertheless, the Union achieved Michael's main aim: it legitimized Michael and his successors as rulers of Constantinople in the eyes of the west.
Furthermore, Michael's idea of a crusade to recover the lost portions of Anatolia received positive reception at the council, though such a campaign would never materialize.
The union was disrupted in 1281 when Michael was excommunicated, possibly due to Pope Martin IV having been pressured by Charles of Anjou.
Following Michael's death, and with the threat of an Angevin invasion having subsided following the Sicilian Vespers, his successor, Andronikos II Palaiologos, was quick to repudiate the hated Union of the Churches.
Although popes after Michael's death would periodically consider a new crusade against Constantinople to once more impose Catholic rule, no such plans materialized.
Faced with the Ottoman danger, Michael's successors, prominently John V and Manuel II, periodically attempted to restore the Union, much to the dismay of their subjects.
At the Council of Florence in 1439, Emperor John VIII reaffirmed the Union in the light of imminent Turkish attacks on what little remained of his empire.
To the Byzantine citizens themselves, the Union of the Churches, which had assured the promise of a great western crusade against the Ottomans, was a death warrant for their empire.
The promised crusade, the fruit of John VIII's labor, ended only in disaster as it was defeated by the Turks at the Battle of Varna in 1444.
The dispute between the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire was mostly confined to the realm of diplomacy, never fully exploding into open war.
This was probably mainly due to the great geographical distance separating the two empires; a large-scale campaign would have been infeasible to undertake for either emperor.
Events in Germany, France and the west in general was of little compelling interest to the Byzantines as they firmly believed that the western provinces would eventually be reconquered.
Simeon I's demands were not only that Bulgaria would be recognized as independent from the Byzantine Empire, but that it was to be designated as a new universal empire, absorbing and replacing the universal empire of Constantinople.
Kaloyan attempted to receive recognition by Pope Innocent III as emperor, but Innocent refused, instead offering to provide a cardinal to crown him simply as king.
With the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 and the rise of the Ottoman Empire in the Byzantine Empire's stead, the problem of two emperors returned.
Mehmed deliberately linked himself to the Byzantine imperial tradition, making few changes in Constantinople itself and working on restoring the city through repairs and (sometimes forced) immigration, which soon led to an economic upswing.
Mehmed also appointed a new Greek Orthodox Patriarch, Gennadios, and began minting his own coins (a practice which the Byzantine emperors had engaged in, but the Ottomans never had previously).
As with the Byzantine emperors before them, the imperial status of the Ottoman sultans was primarily expressed through the refusal to recognize the Holy Roman emperors as equal rulers.
This practice had been cemented and reinforced by the Treaty of Constantinople in 1533, signed by the Ottoman Empire (under Suleiman I) and the Archduchy of Austria (as represented by Ferdinand I on behalf of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor), wherein it was agreed that Ferdinand I was to be considered as the King of Germany and Charles V as the King of Spain.
These titles were considered to be equal in rank to the Ottoman Empire's Grand Vizier, subordinate to the imperial title held by the sultan.
The problem of two emperors and the dispute between the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire would be finally resolved after the two empires signed a peace treaty following a string of Ottoman defeats.
In the Ottoman Empire itself, the idea that the sultan was an universal ruler lingered on despite his recognition of the Holy Roman emperor as an equal.
The Holy Roman idea that the empire located primarily in Germany constituted the only legitimate empire eventually gave rise to the association with Germany and the imperial title, rather than associating it with the ancient Romans.
The Holy Roman emperors themselves maintained that they were the successors of the ancient Roman emperors up until the abdication of Francis II, the final Holy Roman emperor, in 1806.
In 1480, he stopped paying tribute to the Golden Horde and adopted the imperial double-headed eagle as one of his symbols.
In this doctrine, the first Rome fell to heresy (Catholicism) and the second Rome (Constantinople) to the infidel, but the third Rome (Moscow) would endure until the end of the world.
In 1488, Ivan III demanded recognition of his title as the equivalent of emperor, but this was refused by the Holy Roman emperor Frederick III and other western European rulers.
He claimed to be a descendant of the first Roman emperor, Augustus, and at his coronation as Tsar in 1561 he used a Slavic translation of the Byzantine coronation service and what he claimed was Byzantine regalia.
Poe argues that Philotheus' doctrine of Third Rome may have been mostly forgotten in Russia, relegated to the Old Believers, until shortly before the development of Pan-Slavism.
Hence the idea could not have directly influenced the foreign policies of Peter and Catherine, though those Tsars did compare themselves to the Romans.
An expansionist version of Third Rome reappeared primarily after the coronation of Alexander II in 1855, a lens through which later Russian writers would re-interpret Early Modern Russia, arguably anachronistically.
Prior to the embassy of Peter the Great in 1697–1698, the tsarist government had a poor understanding of the Holy Roman Empire and its constitution.
Under Peter, use of the double-headed eagle increased and other less Byzantine symbols of the Roman past were adopted, as when the tsar was portrayed as an ancient emperor on coins minted after the Battle of Poltava in 1709.
Thereafter, Russia claimed to be a guarantor of the imperial constitution as per the Peace of Westphalia (1648) with the same standing as France and Sweden.
In 1780, Catherine II called for the invasion of the Ottoman Empire and the creation of a new Greek Empire or restored Eastern Roman Empire, for which purposes an alliance was made between Joseph II's Holy Roman Empire and Catherine II's Russian Empire.
Following his directoral post at the Minister of Foreign Affairs Secretariat (2003–2005), in 2005 he was nominated Poland ambassador to Azerbaijan.

Matilda Powell Williams, (January 27, 1914 – November 15, 1978) known in her professional career as Mississippi Matilda, was an American Delta blues singer and songwriter.
She and Bass separated and she relocated to Hollandale, Mississippi, where she met Eugene Powell, who was six years her elder.
The couple, in the company of Willie Harris, Robert Hill, and members of the Mississippi Sheiks, traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana, to record for Bluebird Records.
The tracks were created, as part of a larger recording session at St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, on October 15, 1936.
In 1942, the Powells relocated to Greenville, Mississippi, where her husband had found employment at the John Deere plant, to help support their by now large family.
From 1850, first the basin of Hudson Dock was built, extended southwards as Hudson Dock South from 1853, then Hendon Dock beyond, built from 1864.
This was a small wrought-iron Howe truss swing bridge, built by Hawks, Crawshay and Sons of Gateshead, and is still in use.
Hendon Dock was connected to the south of Hudson Dock South by a small channel with a pair of opposed dock gates, these could hold back a difference of water level in either direction.
After WWII, the dock opening was to be widened from 60 to 90 ft and so a new bridge was needed.
The original bridge had been a steel plate girder swing bridge, swinging open in a quarter circle from a vertical axis on the East, seaward, side of the dock.
There were now several large producers of the raw metal within the UK, and rolling plants to produce it in rolled or extruded engineering sections.
For a moving bridge such as a bascule, the lighter weight of the spans would reduce the power needed for the lifting motors and the time take to open a bridge.
The design and construction of the bridge structure were carried out by Head Wrightson Light Alloy Structures Ltd., a new subsidiary which had ben set up to specialise in an anticipated market for lightweight structures like this in aluminium.
The metal itself, as extrusions and as rolled plate, was supplied by British Aluminium and Northern Aluminium (later Alcan) of Banbury.
Work began in December 1947 with the removal of the original bridge and the beginnings of earthworks for the new bridge foundations.
Previously the East abutment of the bridge had housed the pivot mechanism for the swing bridge, and sheet piling was used as a temporary coffer dam on both sides whilst the bridge pits and foundations were constructed.
Unusually for an aluminium structure, all joints were assembled with rivets, of a style and size more commonly seen in pre-war steelwork construction.
A road trailer with 75 ton load was used for one test, and rail tests with both 65 tons of iron scrap and a 41 ton locomotive, and a full train of loaded coal wagons were used.
The new bridge was painted in a waterolour by the artist Leslie Carr (1891–1961) and the painting kept by Head Wrightson.
Its use was gradually less important too, with the decrease in railway coal traffic across the bridge to the loading staithes.
The Launière River is a tributary of the Jacques-Cartier River, flowing in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of the Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The surface of the Launière River (except the rapids zones) is usually frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March.
This lake is mainly fed by the outlet (coming from the northeast) of lakes Bert and Mongeau, as well as an unidentified stream (coming from the southeast).
The current of the Launière river flows on the north bank of the Jacques-Cartier River, in a bend of the river.
The origin of this acronym is probably attributed in memory of a family of gamekeepers who lived in the lake at Christmas, south of L'Étape.

The Temple of Cybele located on the largest of two islands in Lake Durankulak dates from the end of the 4th century BC, and functioned until the 1st century BC.
It is a cave temple situated in the interior of a karst cave on the south coast of the island and dates back to the Hellenistic era or Hellenism.
During the excavations, a goddess vault and other finds from this period were discovered: two ancient Greek black-cantaris, amphora tara and handles with seals from the islands of Rhodes and Thassos, Kos, Herakles and other classical Aegean centers.
This Cybele temple is part of the Archaeological Complex Durankulak Lake, which features eight individual incarnations from different cultures and sites, including Hamangia culture.
During his lifetime, he became the first black man in the state of Illinois to serve on a grand jury in 1870, a notary public in 1871, and the first to be elected to public office in 1871.
Arriving in Chicago with three dollars in assets in 1845, Jones rose to become Chicago's primary black leader of the 19th Century with his personal campaign to end the Black Codes of Illinois and as the first African-American to win public office in the state.
During his early years he would be befriended by abolitionists Lemuel Covell Paine (L.C.P) Freer and Dr. Charles V. Dyer, is are credited by Jones in teaching him to read and write as well as the fundamentals of business and real estate.
This was the major communications hub for African-Americans, both free and escaped slaves, from 1854 until the end of the Civil War.
Although Jones lost part of his fortune to the great 1871 Chicago Fire, he remained one of the city's most prominent citizens until his death.
It took place on January 6, 2020, one day after Wrestle Kingdom 14, which is generally considered to be NJPW's biggest show of the year.
The event featured blow-off matches for the previous night's Wrestle Kingdom 14 and as is tradition, all matches were revealed the night of the event.

Chung Woon-chun (Korean: 정운천, born 10 April 1954) is a South Korean farmer, businessman and politician who has been serving as one of co-Presidents of the Party of New Conservatives since 2020.
Prior to his MP career, he briefly served as the Minister of Agriculture, Fishery, and Food under the President Lee Myung-bak.
After he earned a bachelor's degree in agricultural economics from Korea University, he built polytunnels in Haenam to cultivate New Zealand kiwis.
Though his success was later even mentioned in several textbooks, a former Democratic Labour MP Kang Ki-kap criticised that Chung's business was operated with government grants.
Shortly after Lee Myung-bak was elected as the new President, Chung was appointed as the Minister of Agriculture, Fishery, and Food.
3 opposition parties — United Democratic Party, Democratic Labour Party, and Party for Freedom and Advancement, suggested a motion of no-confidence against him.
He barely survived, but shortly after a nationwide protest was sparked, in which led him to be sacked from the position.
He unsuccessfully ran as the Governor of North Jeolla Province, but gained 18.2%, which became a sensation in South Korean society.
He led in several opinion polls in which focused by some media, but in the end he received 35.8% and lost to DUP's Lee Sang-jik.
He narrowly beat Lee with a majority of 111 votes, made him to be the 2nd conservative MP of Jeonju after Kang Hyun-wook who was elected under New Korea Party (predecessor of the Saenuri Party) banner in 1996.
On 26 December 2016, shortly after the political scandal, Chung resigned from the Saenuri Party (Liberty Korea Party since February 2017), along with the party's dissidents, citing that he is no more able to represent people under the Saenuri banner.
He then became a founding member of the Bareun Party, however, on 2 May 2017, sources reported that he was considering about either returning to the Liberty Korea Party or being as an independent.
On 26 June, he received 17.6% and came behind to Lee Hye-hoon and Ha Tae-keung (only Kim Young-woo was behind of Chung), in which elected Lee as the President while the others as Vice Presidents.
Following the resignation of Lee, he launched his another bid for the snap leadership election, but also came to 3rd and lost to Yoo Seong-min, and therefore remained as a Vice President.
Two days later, he was elected as the co-Presidents of the newly-formed Party of New Conservatives, along with Ha Tae-keung, Oh Shin-hwan, Yoo Ui-dong, and Ji Sang-wook.

A new coronavirus, designated 2019-nCoV, was identified in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei, after people developed pneumonia without a clear cause and for which existing treatments were not effective.
The virus has shown evidence of human-to-human transmission, with its transmission rate escalating in mid-January 2020 and several countries across Europe, North America and especially the Asia-Pacific reporting cases.
Its incubation period is between 2 to 14 days, but there is evidence that it may still be contagious during this period and possibly for several days after recovery.
The first local transmission of the virus outside China occurred in Vietnam from a father to his son, whereas the first local transmission not involving family occurred in Germany, on 22 January, when a German man contracted the disease from a Chinese business visitor at a meeting near Munich.
In response, cities with a combined population over 57 million people, comprised Wuhan and 15 other cities in the surrounding Hubei, were placed on full or partial lockdown, involving the termination of all urban public transport and outward transport by train, air and long-distance buses.
Many New Year events and tourist attractions have been closed to prevent mass gatherings, including the Forbidden City in Beijing and traditional temple fairs.
Hong Kong also raised its infectious disease response level to the highest level and declared an emergency, closing its schools until March and cancelling its New Year celebrations.
Travelers who have visited Mainland China have been asked to monitor their health for at least two weeks and contact their healthcare provider to report any symptoms of the virus.
Anyone who suspects that they are carrying the virus are advised to wear a protective mask and seek medical advice by ringing a doctor rather than directly visiting a clinic in person.
Airports and train stations have implemented temperature checks, health declarations and information signage in an attempt to identify carriers of the virus.
The outbreak has been declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) by the World Health Organization (WHO), explaining that its decision was based on the possible effects that the pathogen could have if it spreads to countries with weaker healthcare infrastructures.
Wuhan is the capital of Hubei and is the seventh-largest city in China, with a population of more than 11 million people.
Coronaviruses mainly circulate among other animals but have been known to evolve and infect humans as in the cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) together with four further coronaviruses that cause mild respiratory symptoms similar to the common cold.
Chinese scientists were able to quickly isolate a strain of the coronavirus and publish the genetic sequence so that laboratories across the world could independently develop PCR tests to detect infection by the virus.
Of the first 41 confirmed cases, two-thirds were found to have a link with the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, which also sold live animals.
Of the first 41 confirmed 2019-nCoV cases, the earliest reported symptoms occurred 1 December 2019, in a person who did not have any exposure to the market or to the remaining 40 affected people.
On 17 January, an Imperial College group in the United Kingdom published a report that there had been 1,723 cases (95% confidence interval, 427–4,471) with onset of symptoms by 12 January.
A Hong Kong University group has reached a similar conclusion as the earlier study, with additional detail on transport within China.
On 20 January, China reported a sharp rise in cases with nearly 140 new patients, including two people in Beijing and one in Shenzhen.
On 25 January, the number of laboratory-confirmed cases stood at 2,062, including 2,016 in Mainland China, seven in Thailand, six in Hong Kong, five in Macau, five in Australia, four in Malaysia, four in Singapore, three in France, three in Japan, three in South Korea, three in Taiwan, three in the United States, two in Vietnam, one in Nepal, and one in Sweden.
305 deaths have been attributed to the virus, with the first death outside of China occurring in the Philippines on 1 February.
Local human-to-human contamination has been confirmed in Vietnam, Japan, Germany, and the United States (specifically Chicago), but no active centers of propagation have been confirmed outside China so far.
Since around 23 January, an important effort, within China and abroad, is being led by the WHO and local governments to alert the population and set up measures preventing additional propagations of the virus.
On 30 January, citing 7,711 cases essentially in China and 83 cases abroad across 18 countries on 29 January, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus outbreak to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
Based on cases reported and assuming a 10-day delay between infection and detection, researchers at Northeastern University and Imperial College London estimated that the number of actual infections may be 10 times higher than those confirmed at the time of reporting.
Imperial College estimated 4,000 cases with 440 confirmed by 21 January 2020, Northeastern University estimated 21,300 infections by 26 January, increasing to 26,200 infections by 27 January (with a confidence of 95% within the interval 19,200–34,800).
Many of those experiencing symptoms were told to self-quarantine at home instead of going to a hospital to avoid close contact with other patients with different levels of symptoms.
After 2 repatriation flights were conducted from Wuhan to Japan in late January, 5 out of approximately 400 persons repatriated were diagnosed with the virus, of whom 1 was symptomatic and 4 were not.
The time from exposure to onset of symptoms is estimated at 2 to 10 days by the World Health Organization and 2 to 14 days by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Among the first 41 confirmed cases admitted to hospitals in Wuhan, 13 (32%) individuals had another chronic condition, like diabetes or hypertension.
Many of those who died had other conditions such as advanced age, hypertension, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease that impaired their immune systems.
Coronaviruses are primarily spread through air droplets expelled when an infected individual coughs or sneezes within a range of about to .
The spread of the virus between people has been variable, with some affected people not transmitting the virus to others while others have been able to spread the infection to several people.
An updated preprint paper published 23 January 2020 on bioRxiv from members of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Hubei Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention suggest that the 2019 novel coronavirus has possible bat origins, as their analysis shows that nCoV-2019 is 96% identical at the whole genome level to a bat coronavirus identified in 2013.
This claim has been widely disputed: some argued that the reservoir must be bats and the intermediate host, bird or mammal, not snakes (as snakes, unlike humans, are poikilotherms), while others used data on recombination and SARS/MERS codon usage bias refute the reasoning.
The seventh member of the family of coronaviruses that can infect humans, 2019-nCoV has been reported to have a genome sequence 75% to 80% identical to the SARS-CoV and to have more similarities to several bat coronaviruses.
describes a phylogenetic tree built from 15 available whole genome sequence of 2019-nCoV and 12 whole genome sequences of 2019-nCoV and 12 highly similar whole genome sequences available in gene bank.
The phylogenetic tree showed that 2019.nCoV significantly clustered with a Bat SARS-like Coronavirus sequence, whereas structural analysis revealed mutations in Spike Glycoprotein and nucleocapsid protein.
The authors concluded 2019-nCoV is a coronavirus distinct from SARS virus that probably was transmitted from bats or another host that provided the ability to infect humans.
The protocols to prevent infection vary depending on the likelihood of susceptible individuals making effective contact and general differences in medical philosophy between culture.
A significant number of countries have issued advisories warning against travel to either Mainland China, the province of Hubei, or just Wuhan.
Japanese people have been reported to wear surgical masks and spray themselves with air disinfectants in areas where foreigners are more likely to be found.
On 23 January 2020, a quarantine on travel in and out of Wuhan was imposed in an effort to stop the spread of the virus out of Wuhan.
Flights and trains in and out of Wuhan, public buses, the metro system and long-distances coaches were suspended until further notice.
Some posts on Weibo showed that as early as 12 January, hospitals in Wuhan were already overwhelmed with patients suffering from fever, many of them having to sleep on the floor.
Some were also highly critical of the reliability of the figures from the Chinese government as well as the government response, with some calling for quarantine, and post also showed sick people and three dead bodies covered in white sheets on the floor of a hospital on 24 January, although many such posts in Weibo about the epidemic have been deleted.
On 26 January, the city of Shantou in Guangdong declared a partial lockdown, though this was quickly reversed only two hours later.
This created chaos, as residents rushed to supermarkets to stock food as soon as the lockdown was declared, and the surge of stockpiling didn't come to an end until the authorities reversed their decision.
Shantou's Department for Outbreak Control later clarified, that they will not restrict travelling, and all they would do, is to sterilise vehicles used for transportation.
Local authorities of the capital Beijing and several other major cities, including Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenzhen announced on 26 January, that these cities will not impose a lockdown similar to those in Hubei province.
A spokesperson of Beijing's Municipal Transportation Commission claimed, that the expressways and highways, as well as subways and buses are operating normally.
To ease the residents' panic, the Hangzhou city government stressed that the city will not be locked down from the outside world, and both cities said that they will introduce precautions against potential risks.
Due to the effective lockdown of public transport in Wuhan and Hubei, several countries have planned to evacuate their citizens and/or diplomatic staff from the area, primarily through chartered flights of the home nation that have been provided clearance by Chinese authorities.
Japan, the United States, France, Australia, Sri Lanka, Germany and Thailand were among the first to plan the evacuation of their citizens.
As of 1 February, United States, Japan, South Korea, Jordan, Britain, Singapore and Germany evacuated their citizens (including citizens from other EU countries).Bangladesh & Sri Lanka has safely reached back to Dhaka and Colombia respectively with the evacuees of the countries on the same day.Brazil, Czechia, India, Italy and Russia are considering similar measures.
Myanmar began repatriating 60 of their students from the vicinity of Wuhan.Vietnam permitted four exceptional flights to carry Wuhan passengers home in the period 24–27 January, and organised a flight to evacuate citizens and diplomats.
The New Zealand Government has also chartered a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft from the national carrier Air New Zealand to assist in evacuation efforts, subject to approval from Chinese officials.
On 29 January, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced plans to quarantine Australian citizens evacuated from Wuhan, including children and the elderly, for a period of 14 days on Christmas Island.
The decision to repatriate those citizens using controversial detention facilities formerly used to detain asylum seekers before they were shut down in 2018 has received criticism.
Controversially, the government plan also necessitates those evacuees to pay a fee of AU$1,000 and would drop them off in Perth after the quarantine period, where they would need to arrange their own transportation back to their home cities.
On 29 January, South Korea made last-minute preparations to airlift about 700 South Korean nationals out of Wuhan, including finalising logistical details with the Chinese Government.
South Korea officials prepared two planes with two sets of medical teams comprising about 20 doctors, nurses, and foreign ministry and quarantine officials for each team.
On 29 January, the Indonesian Air Force (TNI-AU) prepared three aircraft including two Boeing 737 and one C-130 Hercules stationed in Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base, with a battalion of health experts to help evacuate Indonesian nationals and citizens from the city.
As of 29 January, the TNI-AU was waiting for instruction from the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and on standby for 24 hours in case the order was given.
On 1 February the evacuation for as many as 243 Indonesians will commence, and they will be quarantined in Natuna Regency for 14 days, the evacuation process is planned to take around 9 hours, the 42-man team will evacuate about 245 Indonesians.
The Indonesian government chartered Lion Air Group's Batik Air aircraft to evacuate around 200 Indonesian citizens from Hubei, China, including Wuhan City.
Of the original 245 Indonesians in Wuhan, 4 refused to leave Wuhan, and 3 failed to pass the screening test by the Chinese in China.
Then they went to Natuna using TNI-AU aircraft consist of one Boeing 737-200 Advanced (AL-7304) from Skadron Udara 5, one Boeing 737-400 (A-7306) from Skadron Udara 17, and one Lockheed C-130 (A-1315) from Skadron Udara 33.
On 30 January 92 Singaporeans were evacuated from Wuhan via a special Scoot flight, crewed by volunteers from the airline after co-ordination between Singapore and Chinese authorities facilitated the flights.
However, there are still some Singaporeans left behind as they display symptoms, and it made no sense to have them evacuated with the rest who may not be infected.
On 31 January, a British plane carrying 110 EU nationals (83 Britons and 27 others, not including military medics from the UK on board) left Wuhan, arriving at RAF Brize Norton in England.
The British passengers are quarantined at a segregated block of Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral; all passengers were tested before and during the flight, with none having the virus.
More Britons (up to 150) were supposed to be on the flight, which was planned to leave a day earlier; China initially declined permission, and then anyone who had a Chinese passport (including infants and a newborn to British parents) were told they could not leave.
Shortly before the flight left, this decision was reversed, but too late for people to get to the airport even though the plane was also delayed for several hours.
On 1 February morning, a chartered aeroplane departed from Thailand to Wuhan to evacuate 64 Thai nationals from the city led by Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China and the China State Railway Group, which regulates China's civil aviation and operates rail services, announced on 24 January that passengers could have full refunds for their plane and train tickets without any additional surcharges, regardless of whether their flight or train will go through Wuhan or not.
Prosecuting actions against patients who deliberately spread the infection or refuse examination or compulsory isolation along with threats of violence against medical personnel were also urged.
Notably, Chinese citizens have reportedly used innovative methods to avoid censorship and express anger about how government officials have handled the outbreak, such as using the word 'Trump' to refer to Xi Jinping, or 'Chernobyl' to refer to the outbreak as a whole.
Guidances and risk assessments were shortly posted by others including the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and Public Health England.
Based on information from the International Air Transport Association (2018), Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Taipei had the largest volume of travellers from Wuhan.
Using the validated tool, the Infectious Disease Vulnerability Index (IDVI), to assess the ability to manage a disease threat, Bali was reported as least able in preparedness, while cities in Australia were considered most able.
As a result of the outbreak many countries including most the Schengen Area, Armenia, Australia, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and the United States have imposed temporary entry bans on Chinese citizens or recent visitors to China, or have ceased issuing visas and reimposed visa requirements on Chinese citizens.

On 1 February 2020, Qatar Airways took the decision to suspend flights to mainland China from 3 February until further notice, due to significant operational challenges caused by entry restrictions imposed by several countries.
Qatar Airways is the first carrier in the Middle East to do so, and an ongoing review of operations will be conducted weekly with the intention to reinstate the flights as soon as the restrictions are lifted.
Though some of the airlines cancelled flights to Hong Kong as well, British Airways, Finnair and Lufthansa have not, and American Airlines continues operating a limited service to the area.

On 31 January 2020, Malaysia said it would donate 18 million medical gloves to China as announced by the Minister of Primary Industries Teresa Kok.
A speciality hospital named Huoshenshan Hospital has been under construction as a countermeasure against the outbreak and to better quarantine the patients.
On 24 January, Wuhan authorities specified its planning, saying they planned to have Huoshenshan Hospital built within six days of the announcement and it will be ready to use on 3 February.
The hospital is modelled after the , which was fabricated for the SARS outbreak of 2003, itself built in only seven days.
State media reported that there were 1,500 workers and nearly 300 units of construction machinery on the site at peak, and another backup team of 2,000 workers had already gathered.
Authorities announced plans for a second speciality hospital on 25 January which will be named Leishenshan Hospital, with a capacity of 1,600 beds; operations are scheduled to start by 6 February.
Some people voiced their concerns through social media services, saying the authorities' decision to build yet another hospital in such little time showed the severity of the outbreak could be a lot worse than expected.
On 24 January 2020, the authority announced that they would convert an empty building in Huangzhou District, Huanggang to a 1,000-bed hospital named Dabie Mountain Regional Medical Centre.
Works began the next day by 500 personnel and the building began accepting patients on 28 January 2020 at 10:30 pm.
The British Government and National Health Service have set up a Coronavirus isolation facility at Arrowe Park Hospital in The Wirral for British people coming back on a special flight from Wuhan.
On 30 January 2020, following confirmation of human-to-human transmission outside of China and the increase in number of cases in other countries, the WHO declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), the sixth PHEIC since the measure was first invoked during the 2009 Swine flu pandemic.
Local officials in Wuhan and the province of Hubei have faced criticism, both domestically and internationally, for mishandling the initial outbreak.
Allegations included insufficient medical supplies, lack of transparency to the press and censorship of social media during the initial weeks of the outbreak.
Criticism was directed at Hubei Governor Wang Xiaodong after he twice claimed at a press conference that 10.8 billion face masks were produced each year in the province.
Wuhan Police detained several Hong Kong media correspondents for over an hour when they were conducting interviews at Wuhan's Jinyintan Hospital on 14 January.
Reports said the police brought the correspondents to a police station, where the police checked their travel documents and belongings, then asked them to delete video footage taken in the hospital before releasing them.
Authorities in Wuhan and Hubei provinces have been criticised for downplaying the severity of the outbreak and responding slower than they could have.
The paper also argued that the time when their journalists visited the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market where the coronavirus likely originated, most residents and merchants there weren't even donning face masks.
He asserted that the decision of allowing such a banquet was made based on the fact that the scientists used to falsely believe that the ability of the virus to spread human-to-human was limited.
Meanwhile, on 20 January, Wuhan's municipal department for culture and tourism was giving out 200,000 tickets good for visiting all tourist attractions in Wuhan to its citizens for free, which was then criticised for disregarding the outbreak.
Notable in relation to the widespread criticism of the local response, the central government's response has been contrasted with praise for their reporting of the crisis by international experts, but also especially by state media.
This has led to suggestions that the tendency of provincial governments to minimise reporting local incidents have been because of the central governments directing the large proportion of the blame onto them.
The mayor of Wuhan, in particular, as response to those criticisms defended himself, referring to those suggestions by blaming regulatory requirements where local governments must first seek Beijing's approval which delayed disclosure of the epidemic.
Tang Zhihong, the chief of the health department in Huanggang, the city with the second most cases in Hubei after Wuhan, was fired hours after she was unable to answer questions on how many people in her city were being treated.
Misinformation included the spreading of conspiracy theories that the virus was a bio-weapon, a Population control scheme, or the result of a spy operation.
The Far-right news site Zero Hedge claimed that a scientist at the Wuhan Institute of Virology created the Wuhan coronavirus as a biological weapon.
A video circulated on the Internet featuring an alleged whistleblower, a woman named Jin Hui, who claims to be a nurse in Hubei province and describes the desperate situation in Wuhan.
The video attracted millions of views on various social media platforms but the BBC noted that unlike the English subtitles, the woman does not claim to be either a nurse or a doctor in the video and her uniform and mask does not match the type worn by medical staff in Hubei region.
Some media, including Daily Mail and RT, spread misinformation that the cause of the virus was people eating bats in Wuhan.
Wang said she has received death threats, and she states the video was not filmed in Wuhan but in Palau where fruit bats are part of the local cuisine.
Some conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers and alternative news media have alleged that the coronavirus was stolen from a Canadian virus research lab by Chinese scientists, citing a news article by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in July 2019.
Supporters of the QAnon conspiracy theorists movement and the anti-vax community also claimed the outbreak was a population control scheme created by Pirbright Institute in England, by comedian Sam Hyde, and by former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates.
Some have falsely claimed that the virus can be cured through treatment with chlorine dioxide;Facebook,Twitter and Google have announced that they will crack down on possible misinformation.
In China, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC) has started developing vaccines against the novel coronavirus and is testing existing drug effectiveness for pneumonia.
Also, Hong Kong researcher Yuen Kwok-yung and his team in the University of Hong Kong announced that a new vaccine is developed, but needs to be tested on animals before conducting clinical tests on humans.
In Western countries, The United States' National Institutes of Health (NIH) is hoping for human trials of a vaccine by April 2020, and the Cambridge, Massachusetts–based Moderna is developing a mRNA vaccine with funding from CEPI.
The Norwegian Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) is funding three vaccine projects and hopes to have a vaccine in trials by June 2020 and approved and ready in a year.
The epidemic coincided with the New Year, which marks a major festival season for the region and the busiest travel period in China.
A number of events involving large crowds were cancelled by national and regional governments, including the annual New Year festival in Hong Kong, with private companies also independently closing their shops and tourist attractions such as IKEA and Hong Kong Disneyland.
As Mainland China is a major economy and a manufacturing hub, the viral outbreak has been seen to pose a major destabilising threat to the global economy.
Agathe Demarais of the Economist Intelligence Unit has forecast that markets will remain volatile until a clearer image emerges on potential outcomes.
Some analysts have estimated that the economic fallout of the epidemic on global growth could surpass that of the SARS outbreak.
The travel sector has been hit hard by travel restrictions and fears of contagion, including a ban on both domestic and international tour groups.
Many airlines have either cancelled or greatly reduced flights to China and several travel advisories now warn against travel to China.
Overseas students enrolled at Chinese universities have been returning home over fears of being infected—the first cases to be reported by Nepal and Kerala, a southern state of India, were both of students who had returned home.
The viral epidemic has however placed doubt on the ability of the travel sector to withstand a prolonged period of downturn.
There has also been a renewed increase in protest activity as hostile sentiment against Mainland Chinese strengthens over fears of viral transmission from Mainland China, with many calling for the border ports to be closed and for all Mainland Chinese travellers to be refused entry.

The crochet bikini or crocheted bikini is a knitted swimwear or bikini that has been worn since at least the 1970s.
A crochet bikini created by Brazilian street artist Maria Solange Ferrarini has been the center of several lawsuits that received international attention.
Turkish American entrepreneur Ipek Irgit took the idea of Ferrarini's crochet bikini during a visit to Brazil and claimed copyright on the design.
Actress Robin Byrd became known for wearing a crochet bikini during the 1970s, and the look became closely associated with her image.
She was taught to crochet at an early age and sewed out of economic necessity, which she sold on the beach in Trancoso, Brazil.

Following the lawsuit, Jason Forge, the husband of one of PilyQ's owners, sought out Brazilian street artist Maria Solange Ferrarini, to negotiate a licensing deal for her crochet bikini designs.
Under the terms of the deal, Ferrarini was paid about $5,100 in 2018, and will earn an annual licensing fee of $7,700 in 2019.
, Neiman Marcus, Target and other retailers continue to sell their own versions of crochet bikinis, while Irgit's lawsuits against them, and Ferrarini's lawsuit against Irgit, continue to work their way through the courts.

It is currently one of two bus terminals in the Araneta City business district that link Metro Manila with the provinces in the north and south of the country, including cities in the Visayas and Mindanao via the Philippine Nautical Highway System.
It was built in 2017 as the modern alternative to, and eventual replacement for, the adjacent Araneta City Bus Terminal, the oldest integrated bus terminal in Metro Manila, in operation since 1993.
The Araneta City Bus Port is located along General Romulo Avenue on the eastern side of Araneta City within the barangay of Socorro, Quezon City.
It occupies the ground level of Manhattan Heights, a four-tower residential condominium complex that is part of the , 18-tower highrise community developed by Megaworld Corporation called Manhattan Garden City.
The bus station is situated in the district of Cubao, a densely populated area north of Ortigas Center in east-central Metro Manila that has the highest density of bus terminals in the entire Manila metropolitan area.
In 2004, to make way for the construction of the Manhattan Heights condominium complex, the Araneta Center bus station was relocated to the old Rustan's building on Times Square Avenue built in 1974, after the department store transferred to its new home at the then newly opened Gateway Mall.
The old terminal is expected to be torn down in the future to make way for the construction of the Manhattan Plaza, the final highrise development of the Manhattan Garden City project.
The modern busport at Manhattan Heights was inaugurated as the Araneta Center Bus Port in March 2017 with Vice President Leni Robredo in attendance.
Following the issuance of the Metro Manila Council regulation prohibiting the operation of all provincial bus terminals along EDSA in order to ease traffic congestion in Manila's main artery, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority announced that the Araneta bus terminal shall be exempt from the ban.

Solidarity was a political party created in the lead-up to the 1984 South African general election, which determined the makeup of the first House of Delegates, the body within the Apartheid Tricameral Parliament reserved for Indian South Africans.
Solidarity appealed more to South Africans with Southern Indian roots, while Amichand Rajbansi's National People's Party appealed more to those with a North Indian heritage.
The election of 1984 was marked by boycotts, as many Coloured and Indian South Africans saw the tricameral system as a means to entrench Apartheid.
Despite having been formed less than a year before the election, Solidarity contested all 40 constituencies in the House of Delegates.
There were suggestions at the time that Solidarity was somehow initiated by the government, as Prime Minister P. W. Botha preferred Dr. Reddy to the leadership of the National People's Party, a claim which was made more credible by the fact that some of the party leaders, including Reddy, had been members of government institutions, for example the President's Council.
Another reason was that Solidarity was able to afford to spend more than its opponents on propaganda, although Solidarity claimed that this was all funded by personal contributions.
Despite winning most of the seats in the Natal province in the 1984 election, Solidarity was not able to win enough seats in the other provinces, and formed the opposition to the National People's Party.
Instead, the parties agreed on a coalition, with two Solidarity members (JN Reddy and Ismail Kathrada) appointed to the Minister's Council.
The coalition only lasted a few months, however, and dissolved, partly due to differences between the parties, but also because the Speaker of the House ruled that Solidarity could not be the official opposition while its leader served on the Council.
In 1988, Rajbansi was removed from his position as chairman of the Minister's Council due to corruption, based on the preliminary findings of the James Commission of inquiry, and Reddy assumed this position in March 1989.
In the 1989 South African general election in September, Solidarity was able to win 19 of the 45 seats (40 elected and 5 appointed).
This result established it as the governing party in the House, motivating independents and members of smaller parties to join Solidarity and giving it a majority position.
In 1991, Rajbansi briefly regained a majority in the House after a successful vote of no confidence in Reddy, but this was soon overturned, allowing Reddy to retain leadership of the House.
In 1991, it was expected that conservative parties such as Solidarity would align themselves with the National Party, but Reddy denied rumours that the Solidarity leadership was discussing plans to join the National Party.
On 8 August 1999 a tribute to Les Ballets Nègres was staged at the Royal Festival Hall in London's Southbank Centre.
The Temple of Cybele is a Hellenistic temple in Balchik, Bulgaria, which was discovered in 2007, during construction work on a new hotel when an excavator fell on a rectangular antique building.
The Balchik temple is the best preserved Hellenistic temple in Bulgaria, with findings being compared in significance to those of the ancient Pompeii complex, because Cybele is the only known Phrygian deity, the patron saint of Ancient Rome, under whose care his centuries-old battle with Carthage was won.
Alexander the Great was trying to build a monotheistic cult around Cybele, and theologians believe that it is this pagan goddess who belongs to the image of the Mary, mother of Jesus.
It is considered to be one of the most significant anthropological archaeological finds in Bulgaria, comparable to the nearby Varna necropolis where the oldest gold artifact was discovered.
The majority of the statues and other artifacts from the temple form part of the collection at the Balchik Museum of History.

Resek agvaniyot, or resek, , also known as grated tomato, or grated tomatoes, is an Israeli condiment made with tomatoes that is traditionally served with malawach, jachnun, bourekas, kubaneh, and other dishes.
Resek agvaniyot originated in the Yemenite Jewish community several hundred years ago, following the introduction of tomatoes to their cuisine, and as part of their traditional Shabbat morning meals.
It is somewhat similar to a salsa or a tomato puree, except it is never cooked and it always has a very fine, smooth consistency.
Resek is a common condiment in Israel, and has been prepared by the Yemenite Jews for centuries, who traditionally pair it with zhoug and haminados (slow cooked eggs) and serve it with kubaneh, malawach, and jachnun as part of their Shabbat morning breakfast.
With the arrival of Yemenite Jews to Israel seeking refuge after a series of pogroms, and their later expulsion from Yemen; it has since become a popular dish across Israeli society.
Resek is commonly paired with a number of other dishes in both Yemenite Jewish, and non-Yemenite dining establishments across the nation such as bourekas, challah, falafel and pita.
The origins of the song's title comes from a note Markwick wrote in her diary about a year before the song was recorded.
Esther 6 is the sixth chapter of the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, The author of the book is unknown and modern scholars have established that the final stage of the Hebrew text would have been formed by the second century BCE.
This chapter relates how a sleepless Ahasuerus had his court annals read aloud and discovered that he had failed to reward Mordecai for passing on the information about the assassination plot.
The episode leads to 'a marvellously ironic scene' (), as the narrative 'moves inexorably to its ultimate reversal', starting with Haman leading a king's horse carrying Mordecai, clothed in royal garb through the streets of Susa, and proclaiming the king's favor for Mordecai.
Haman went home exhibiting mourning behavior and his wife predicted that Haman's intent to destroy Mordecai would end up with the opposite result.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes Codex Leningradensis (1008).
Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; formula_1; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: formula_1; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; formula_1; 5th century).
), so he asked the Royal Chronicles to be read aloud (by chance containing Mordecai's benefaction to the king) and found out that, by chance, Mordecai had not been rewarded.
Any courtier of the king could have given advice, but ironically it is Haman who gave it and also who had to perform the bestowing of the honor he actually desired for himself to Mordecai.
The king unintentionally destroys Haman by hiding the name of the person he wants to honor, in an irony to the fact that Haman intentionally hid from the king the name of the people he wants to destroy ().
Haman's desire to wear the king's clothes and ride on the king horse shows the psychology of an outsider who longed, but never really believed he was able, to be an insider of Persian royalty.
This is also shown by how thrilled Haman was to be invited to a private banquet with the king and queen (, ).
This section articulates the significant turning point of the story with the prediction concerning the downfall of Haman, the hereditary enemy of the Jews, and the deliverance of the Jews.
Zeresh's response is based on the fact that Mordecai is Jewish, conveying a powerful notion underlying the whole book—that the Jews will ultimately survive.
The Launière Lake is a freshwater body crossed by the Launière River in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The area around the lake is indirectly served by the route 175 which passes at on the east side and runs along the west shore of Jacques-Cartier Lake.
The surface of Lac Launière is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from mid-December to mid-March.
This lake sunk between the mountains is made in length by more or less marrying the shape of the letter L.
Lac Launière receives the discharge from Lac La Giroflée on the east side and the discharge from Lac Frazie on the west side.
Then the current follows the course of the Jacques-Cartier River for generally south to the northeast bank of the St. Lawrence river.
According to Isaïe Nantais, this toponym recalls a family of gamekeepers who lived for many years at the lake at Christmas, that is, southeast of the mouth of Lac Launière.
The 5th Bosnian Corps () was a Yugoslav Partisan corps that fought against the Germans, Independent State of Croatia (NDH) and Chetniks in occupied Democratic Federal Yugoslavia during World War II.
It was first created on 11 May 1943 as the 2nd Bosnian Corps from the 1st Bosnian Corps, together with the 5th Division.
Virtually all units of the 1st Bosnian Corps were transferred to the 2nd Bosnian Corps including the 4th, 10th and 11th Krajina divisions for a total of around 7,500 soldiers.
Its adversary, the German 369th, 373rd, 114th and 7th SS divisions, together with NDH forces and local Chetniks had over 160,000 soldiers.

Tottenham is a historic estate in Wiltshire, England, centred on Tottenham House, a large Grade I listed country house in the parish of Great Bedwyn, about 5 miles southeast of the town of Marlborough.
The site of the house was part of the much larger Savernake Forest, and was under the control of the Esturmy family.
The original house was probably built by Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford in about 1575, when it was known as Totnam Lodge.
In 1675 the estate passed to Lady Elizabeth Seymour, who married Thomas Bruce, 2nd Earl of Ailesbury, passing the house to the Bruce family.
In 1721 Elizabeth Seymour's son and heir, Charles Bruce, 3rd Earl of Ailesbury, rebuilt Totnam Lodge to the design of his brother-in-law the pioneering Palladian architect Lord Burlington, and parts of the grounds, including the kitchen garden, were laid out by Capability Brown from 1764 to c 1770.
The house underwent a number of further rebuilds, and the current house, containing more than one hundred rooms, mostly dates from the 1820s, having then been remodelled by Charles Brudenell-Bruce, 1st Marquess of Ailesbury.
It incorporates parts of the earlier houses on the site which were built by the Seymour family formerly of nearby Wulfhall, about one mile to the south.
It was then leased for 150 years to a Florida based consortium with the intention of creating a luxury hotel and golfing centre, but the consortium went bankrupt in 2008.
In 2014, the house was sold for £11.25m to an undisclosed buyer who plans to turn it back into a private home.
Sir William Esturmy (c. 1356 – 1427)) was a Speaker of the House of Commons, a Knight of the Shire and an hereditary Warden of the royal forest of Savernake Forest.
He held the post of hereditary warden of Savernake Forest from 1381 to 1417 and from 1420 until his death in 1427.
He served as knight of the shire for Hampshire in 1384 and again in 1390, and also eight times for Wiltshire and twice for Devon between then and 1422.
He married Joan Crawthorne, the widow of Sir John Beaumont of Shirwell and Saunton in North Devon, by whom he had no male progeny, only two daughters and co-heiresses including Maud Esturmy, wife of Roger II Seymour (c.1367/70-1420), feudal barony of Hatch Beauchamp in Somerset, by whom she had a son John Seymour (died 1464).
One of the heirs of the St Maur/Zouche family was the Bampfield family of Poltimore in Devon (later Baron Poltimore) which inherited the Devon manor of North Molton from the Zouche family.
), a daughter and co-heiress of Sir William Esturmy (died 1427), of Wolfhall in Wiltshire, Speaker of the House of Commons and hereditary Warden of Savernake Forest in Wiltshire.
He served as Member of Parliament for Ludgershall in 1422 and Knight of the Shire for Wiltshire in 1435, 1439, and 1445 He was also High Sheriff of Wiltshire in 1431–1432, having previously served as High Sheriff of Hampshire.
His first wife was Elizabeth Darrell (born c. 1451), daughter of Sir George Darrell (died c. 1474) of Littlecote, Wiltshire, by his wife Margaret Stourton (born c. 1433), a daughter of John Stourton, 1st Baron Stourton, and of Margery or Marjory Wadham, daughter of the Justice of the Common Pleas, Sir John Wadham of Merryfield and Edge.
Sir John Seymour (1474–1536), eldest son from 1st marriage, knighted in 1497 after the Battle of Deptford Bridge, the father of Queen Jane Seymour (1508–1537), 3rd wife of King Henry VIII.
Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, KG, (c. 1500 – 1552), eldest son and heir, uncle of King Edward VI (1547–1553) and Lord Protector of England (1547–9).
in 1536 on his sister's marriage to King Henry VIII, he was created Viscount Beauchamp of Hache and in 1537 was created by the same king Earl of Hertford.
He received his dukedom together with the subsidiary title Baron Seymour on the accession of his nephew to the throne in 1547.
The Duke was executed in 1552 for felony on the order of his nephew King Edward VI, and was attainted by Parliament shortly thereafter when all his titles were forfeited.
It was probably Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford (1539–1621), son and heir of the 1st Duke, of nearby Wulfhall, who in about 1575 built the first house, known as Totnam Lodge, and enclosed its surrounding land to form a deer park.
The Seymours were hereditary Wardens of Savernake Forest, which office together with most of their Wiltshire estates had been inherited by marriage to the daughter and heiress of Sir William Esturmy (died 1427), of Wulfhall, Speaker of the House of Commons and hereditary Warden of the royal forest of Savernake.
William Seymour, 2nd Duke of Somerset (1587–1660), grandson, inherited the estates on the death of his grandfather the 1st Earl, his father having predeceased the latter.
He inherited at the age of 8 and died aged 19 when his heir became his uncle John Seymour, 4th Duke of Somerset (1629–1675).
However, the heir to his estates in Hampshire, namely Netley Abbey (where the 1st Earl had died) and Hound, was his sister Elizabeth Seymour, wife of Thomas Bruce, 2nd earl of Ailesbury, which were soon sold in 1676 to the Marquess of Worcester.
He did not live long to enjoy his new house and died in 1675, aged 46, only three years after having started the rebuilding.
The 4th Duke of Somerset was childless, and faced with the Dukedom passing by law to his first cousin once removed and heir male the 5th Duke, who was seated at Marlborough Castle in Wiltshire, he bequeathed the unentailed Seymour estates to his niece Elizabeth Seymour, the wife of Thomas Bruce, 2nd Earl of Ailesbury (1656–1741), and thus the Seymour estates passed to the Bruce family.
Elizabeth Seymour's son and heir was Charles Bruce, 3rd Earl of Ailesbury (died 1747), of Houghton House in the parish of Maulden, in Bedfordshire, who in 1721 rebuilt Totnam Lodge to the design of his brother-in-law the pioneering Palladian architect Lord Burlington.
The 3rd Earl added wings to Burlington's block in the 1730s, and also built in 1743 a Banqueting House in the park to the design of Burlington (demolished in 1824).
In 1746, one year before the death of the 3rd Earl, who had no son, it was apparent that on his death the Earldom of Ailesbury would become extinct and his other Earldom of Elgin would pass to a distant cousin and heir male.
Thomas Brudenell (1739–1814), 4th son of George Brudenell, 3rd Earl of Cardigan (1685–1732) by his wife Elizabeth Bruce, to whom he also bequeathed his estates with the proviso that he should adopt the additional surname of Bruce, thus having created a new noble family bearing doubly the Bruce name, to continue the custodianship of the Seymour lands.
On the 3rd Earl's death in 1747 his 8 year old nephew Thomas Brudenell duly became Thomas Brudenell-Bruce, 2nd Baron Bruce of Tottenham, having inheited the barony, the estates and the Wardenship of Savernake Forest.
The site of Tottenham House was known by 1200 as Tottenham Wood, a part of the much larger Savernake Forest, and was under the control of the Esturmy family.
It was probably Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford (1539–1621), son and heir of the 1st Duke, of nearby Wulfhall, who in about 1575 built the first house, known as Totnam Lodge, and enclosed its surrounding land to form a deer park.
The 4th Duke of Somerset bequeathed the unentailed Seymour estates to his niece Elizabeth Seymour, the wife of Thomas Bruce, 2nd Earl of Ailesbury (1656–1741), passing the Seymour estates to the Bruce family.
In 1721 Elizabeth Seymour's son and heir, Charles Bruce, 3rd Earl of Ailesbury, rebuilt Totnam Lodge to the design of his brother-in-law the pioneering Palladian architect Lord Burlington.
The 3rd Earl added wings to Burlington's block in the 1730s, and also built in 1743 a Banqueting House in the park to the design of Burlington (demolished in 1824).
It was then leased for ten years to the Amber Foundation, a charity which helps unemployed troubled young people to rebuild their lives, but its work there ended due to cuts in government support.
In 1966, the house was designated as Grade I listed, while the small octagonal folly building (c. 1720) in the deer park, and the stable block (1819) were designated Grade II*.
In 2006 the house, with its 50-horse stable block, outbuildings and some farmland, was leased for 150 years to a consortium of Golf Club Investment Holdings, Conduit Investments, and (as Operator) the Buena Vista Hospitality Group of Orlando, Florida, with the intention of creating a luxury hotel, conference, spa, and golfing centre.
Full Planning Permission was obtained, with the co-operation of the local Planning Authority and English Heritage, and an investment in the project of £50 million was announced.
In 2014, the trustees sold the house and 800 acres for £11.25m to an undisclosed buyer (believed to be Conservative Party donor and multi-millionaire property developer Jamie Ritblat) after overcoming a legal challenge from the Earl of Cardigan.
He is due to benefit from the sale proceeds and will still own jointly with the trustees 3,700 acres, mainly woodland, in Savernake Forest.

Thomas King (probably before 166017 July 1725) was an English (after the Acts of Union 1707, British) professional soldier, lieutenant governor of Sheerness, Kent, and Member of Parliament for Queenborough, in Kent.
In 1678, he was commissioned as ensign in the 3rd Regiment of Foot, and was in 1687 promoted to second lieutenant.
In 1688, he transferred to the 13th Foot with the rank of captain, and in the same year to the 2nd Foot Guards with the rank of captain and later lieutenant-colonel.
He was elected MP for Queenborough nine times: at a by-election in 1696, and at general elections in 1698, January and November 1701, 1702 and 1705; he did not stand in 1708; but was elected in 1710, 1713 and 1715.
However, Henry Sydney, 1st Earl of Romney (1641-1704), colonel of the 1st Foot Guards, wanted to secure the seat for King, who was lieutenant-colonel in his own regiment.
Rooke was accompanied by four members of the Navy Board, Edmund Dummer, Sir Richard Haddock, Dennis Lyddell and Charles Sergison, and by the Commissioner of Chatham, Sir Edmund Gregory, who was responsible for Sheerness Dockyard; but neither their presence nor the expenditure by Rooke of £200 could persuade King to withdraw.
Rooke thought of standing against King, and then petitioning the House of Commons for redress should King be elected; a scheme flawed by the fact that Rooke too had, by his own admission, been illegally 'treating' the voters.
In another line of attack, James Vernon (1646–1727) was sure that King's superiors could be persuaded to order him to stand down.
In 1697, nine of the electors (including Sir John Banks (1627-1699; MP for Queenborough 1690-1695), James Herbert (1660-1704; MP for Queenborough 1689-1690) and Gerard Gore) were disfranchised for non-residence and for failure to attend to corporation business.
Crawford's support in Parliament in 1705 of the Tackers left him vulnerable, and he was defeated in that year's general election by Sir John Jennings (1664-1743), a Navy officer, in a vicious campaign marked by the beating to death of a Scotsman who had campaigned against Crawford.
Herbert raised a similar complaint after the 1713 election, in which he had been defeated by Charles Fotherby, another Navy officer; but he too got nowhere.

Marcel Lychau Hansen (born October 2, 1965), better known as the Amager Man, is a Danish serial rapist and twice-convicted murderer who was sentenced to life imprisonment for one robbery and one murder by a jury in the Copenhagen City Court on December 22, 2011.
Hansen has also been convicted of six rapes, one of them being a quadruple rape, committed from February 16, 1987 to September 25, 2010.
In the 1980s, Marcel Hansen worked in the furniture moving business for the company 3x34, and until his arrest, for approximately 12 years he worked as a janitor for the Scandinavian Airlines at Copenhagen Airport.
In addition, he was an active football player in the Sundy Ball Club, and was an active football coach for FC Amager and lastly AB Tårnby, from where he resigned a day prior to his arrest.
After the murder, he stole her jewelry and money, leaving behind a lit candle as well as four open gas taps in the kitchen, in an attempt to blow up the apartment.
At the Copenhagen City Court on December 22, 2011, he was convicted of the murder, and also of attempted arson that could endanger other people's lives.
On August 29, 1990, the 40-year-old schoolteacher Lene Buchardt Rasmussen was riding home to her apartment in Peter Sabroesgade, in Copenhagen's southwest quarter.
On September 3rd, the police helicopter found her bicycle, left by a tree in Fasanskoven, and later that day, Rasmussen's body was found.
The case had stalled for a long time, as DNA evidence from semen found on the victim couldn't be matched to a perpetrator.
On November 1, 2010, police reported that the man who had murdered Lene Rasmussen is the same person who committed two rapes in 2005 and 2010, as the DNA from the three crime scenes matched.
On October 19, 1995, he broke into a villa in Amager, where he raped two 14-year-old girls, another 15-year-old and a 23-year-old woman.
Some of the jewelry was later found to be in possession of Hansen's elder son, during a December 2011 search and seizure.
On May 3, 2005, he broke into a dorm room at the Amager College near Ørestad, where he raped a 24-year-old woman for two hours, forcing the victim to wear a blindfold under the threat of a knife.
Lychau Hansen was indicted for the rape after DNA traces were found on the milk carton, as well as handprints on the right doorlock of the victim's bathroom door.
On July 22, 2007, a 47-year-old woman was pulled into a green area at the Vangede Church, near Gentofte, during which Hansen took off her belt and wrapped it around her neck, while forcing her into oral sex.
Lychau Hansen was charged with the rape, but due to a lack of DNA evidence and material, he was acquitted of this charge by the Copenhagen City Court.
On September 25, 2010, a 17-year-old was threatened with a knife, assaulted and raped orally at an allotment garden in Amager.
Police later found that the DNA was identical to the one found on the milk carton in the 2005 rape, as well as that on the Lene Rasmussen's body in 1990.
Marcel Hansen was arrested on November 12, 2010 at 3:23 PM at his Valby residence, charged with the two rapes and the Rasmussen murder.
The next day, he was given a constitutional hearing in the Copenhagen City Court, where he remanded in custody until December 8th.
Marcel Hansen remained in Vestre Prison for some time, before being transferred to Herstedvester Prison in June 2012, but on July 23rd of that year, he was forcefully moved to the State Prison of East Jutland.
The reason for this was the belief that he would escape, and his refusal of some of the prison's offers, such as therapy, psychologists and psychiatric assistance.
On December 15, 2011, it became known to police that Hansen had smuggled letters with his own semen from Vestre Prison, where he was being held in custody.
His son's girlfriend delivered four letters, as well as a clipped tip from a rubber glove with the son's own semen, to the North Jutland Police in Frederikssund.
Marcel had sent a total of eight letters to his son with semen, salive and hair wrapped in rubber nappies, instructing the son to assault a random woman and put the delivered material on the body.
According to him, this would apparently prove that there was another person with the corrensponding DNA to his own, making his sentence invalid.
He was not given an additional sentence, as he is already serving the highest possible sentence in Danish law, but the ruling may become relevant if he is ever to be put on parole.

The women's 200 metres event at the 1989 Summer Universiade was held at the Wedaustadion in Duisburg with the final on 27 and 28 August 1989.
He participated in the coup of Kutayfat, which in 1130–1131 briefly overthrew the Fatimid dynasty, serving as gaoler of the future caliph al-Hafiz.
Under al-Hafiz he rose to the powerful position of chamberlain, and emerged as the leader of the Muslim opposition during the vizierate of the Christian Bahram al-Armani in 1135–1137, when he served as governor of Ascalon and the western Nile Delta.
His tenure lasted two years and five months, and was marked by a reorganization of the government and by a persecution of Christian officials, who were replaced by Muslims, as well as by the introduction of restrictions on Christians and Jews.
Ridwan also planned to depose al-Hafiz and the Fatimid dynasty in favour of a Sunni regime headed by himself, but the Caliph raised the army and the people of Cairo against him, forcing him to flee his post in June 1139.
Ridwan once again raised his followers into revolt, and managed to enter Cairo, but was assassinated shortly after by soldiers of the Caliph's bodyguard.
By the time of Kutayfat's anti-Fatimid coup in October 1130, he was considered as one of the most prominent of military commanders.
When the Armenian Bahram became vizier in 1135, Ridwan emerged as the leader of the Muslim reaction to Bahram's pro-Christian policies.
Bahram tried to dispose of him by sending him to govern Ascalon in May 1135, but there Ridwan busied himself with blocking the Armenian immigration, earning plaudits from the Muslim street of Cairo.
As a result, Bahram recalled him in November 1136 and sent him to govern his own former province at Gharbiyya (the western Nile Delta).
On 3 February, the Armenian vizier fled Cairo with 2,000 Armenian soldiers, making for Qus, where his brother Vasak was governor.
After plundering the city, Bahram made for Aswan on the southern border of the Fatimid realm, but the local governor barred his gates to him, and Bahram was forced to retreat to Akhmim.
Ridwan's appointment thus marks the culmination of a process that made the Fatimid viziers into sultans, just as the Seljuk rulers had been vis-à-vis the Abbasid caliphs since the time of Tughril.
Restrictive and discriminatory sumptuary laws and regulations were introduced for Christians and Jews, requiring them to wear specific clothes, prohibiting them from riding horses, dismount when passing by a mosque, etc.
Ridwan also continued correspondence with the Burids, particularly Shams al-Dawla Muhammad of Baalbek, for a common front against the Crusaders, but also possibly with the aim of using the Sunni Syrians to unseat the Fatimid dynasty.
Ridwan intended to emulate Kutayfat, who had used the vizierate as a means to depose the dynasty and ruled Egypt himself before his assassination by Fatimid loyalists, in order to depose the Fatimid dynasty outright and install a Sunni regime in Egypt under his leadership.
Their answers were fairly predictable: Ibn Abi Kamil argued that the claim to the imamate by al-Hafiz and his ancestors was false, Ibn Salama supported the Caliph, and Ibn Awf took a more cautious stance and advised that the deposition should be handled in accordance with religious law.
Ridwan began arresting and executing members of the Caliph's entourage, while al-Hafiz demonstratively recalled Bahram from exile and allowed him to settle in the palace.
Ridwan in turn appeared in public on the Eid al-Fitr on 31 May wearing a robe in a style normally reserved for monarchs.
Matters came to a head on 8 June, as al-Hafiz, enthroned atop the Golden Gate of the palace, engaged in a heated exchange with Ridwan below.
The vizier then ordered the palaces surrounded by troops, and brought forth one of the Caliph's sons, aiming to place him on the throne.
He crossed the Nile to Giza and quickly rallied followers, including Bedouin, regular soldiers, and Luwata Berbers from the Western Desert.
With this army he marched once more on Cairo, defeated the Caliph's troops at the Mosque of Ibn Tulun, and pursued them into the city itself.
Al-Hafiz barred the gates of the palace, but pretended to be cooperative, and even sent some money when Ridwan asked for it to pay his men.
When Ridwan rose to his saddle to see what the commotion was about, they attacked and killed him and his brother.
This was a deliberate attempt to reverse the progressive transformation of the vizierate into a sultanate: unlike the viziers, these secretaries were civilian bureaucrats, often non-Muslim, and utterly dependent on the Caliph.
The Pago Aylés branch uses the Vino de Pago wine appellation, a classification for Spanish wine applied to individual vineyards or wine estates, unlike the Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) or Denominación de Origen Calificada (DOCa) which is applied to an entire wine region.

According to his own claims, during his criminal career he committed at least 140 rapes, of which more than 40 were proven in court.
A native Muscovite, in his own words, from the age of 7 to 12, Kosarev was subjected to depraved actions by another man who dressed him in women's clothing and used him for sexual games.
The first rape he committed was at age 18, for which he was sent for involuntary commitment to the psychiatric hospital No.
He usually stalked his victims—teenage girls—on the street, followed them into the building, where, in the elevator, he threatened them with a knife before subsequently raping and robbing them.
Kosarev's criminal activity peaked in the fall of 1995, when up to three similar attacks on children occurred each day in the capital.
In one case, the rapist found five children—two boys and three girls—in an elevator, where he raped all three girls, threatening them with a knife and forcing the boys to have with them.
In another instance, he raped a young mother in front of a small child, forcing it to observe the entire process.
His wife at the time did not suspect him of any such crimes, and considered him to be a romantic, gallant man.
On October 31, 1995, Kosarev was detained on Arbat Street while trying to sell stolen goods, including a camera taken from one of the victims 4 hours before his arrest.
Although he admitted to around 137 rapes, the court could only prove around 40 instances, as many of his victims refused to cooperate with the investigators.
In March 1997, the court sentenced him to 15 years imprisonment, of which 10 he served in a standard prison, and the other 5 in a maximum security prison.
Pretending to be blind, he followed the girl into an elevator, where, with the threat of a knife, he forced the girl to go to the last floor, where he raped her.
After that, Kosarev forced the girl to drink the contents of a syringe that he had brought with him - a mixture of phenazepam and diphenhydramine - and drink it with vodka.
In the area of house number 160, on Tsentralnaya Street, he noticed two girls (17 and 18, respectively), both 11th-grade students of the local high school.
Kosarev inflicted at least three blows with the handle and blade of the knife on the head and hand of one girl, and the other - nine on the head, hand and body.
After that, the offender took gold jewelry from his victims - a chain, rings with precious stones, a pendant and earrings, as well as two mobile phones, raping one the girls again before finally fleeing the scene.
When the search for the rapist in Serpukhov began, an investigator from the city's prosecutor's office appealed to the investigative department to inquire about a similar offender, active in Moscow in the mid-1990s.
On October 18, 2012, the Moscow Oblast Court sentenced Oleg Kosarev to 20 years imprisonment, with the first 12 years to be spent in a standard, and the final 8 in a corrective labor colony.
After Kosarev's capture in 1995, attacks with similar modus operandi continued to take place in Moscow, by a criminal who dressed the same way and physically resembled Kosarev.
Even before Kosarev's capture, it was known that there were two differet criminals, due to the fact that the rapes occurred in different parts of the city simultaneously.
The police even suggested that the rapists could be twin brothers, and therefore sent inquiries to psychiatric hospitals to monitor any twin brothers with paraphilias, but no results came from it.
He named about 50 addresses where he claimed to have committed rapes and robberies, but in court he only managed to prove 23 of them.
He invited teenager boys to his house, plowed them with alcohol, and when they fell into unconsciousness, committed depraved acts on them.

During the 1940s discontent with commercial media, especially radio, was widespread in the United States with the chief complaints centering on media monopolies, advertising and lack of local accountability.
Advanced by the contemporary civil rights and antiwar movements, broadcasting reform efforts of the 1960s were undertaken by various organizations at the local and national level including the American Council for Better Broadcasts (ACBB), Action for Children's Television (ACT), Citizens Communication Center (CCC), National Citizens Committee for Broadcasting (NCBB) and the Office of Communications of the United Church of Christ (UCC).
American media has developed through policy confrontations between commercial industry representatives, grassroots activists and regulators in Washington D.C. about both the design and purpose of media institutions.
The Communications Act of 1934 combined earlier regulatory provisions governing broadcasting and telecommunications; many of its terms closely approximated the Calvin Coolidge era Radio Act of 1927 that had emerged from a period of industry pressure during the four National Radio Conferences between 1922 and 1925.
The Radio Act had fallen into a state of obsolescence due to its perceived failure to address contemporary concerns about network dominance and commercial advertising.
The 1934 Act did not change these earlier provisions, which were not seen as a threat to industry interests, but it broadened their scope to encompass telephone and telegraph.
Against the backdrop of a post New Deal rightward political shift in the 1940s, public criticism of radio broadcasting in the United States was intense.
Broadcasting was still in its infancy during those years and the outcome of early policy disputes helped shaped the media landscape.
Listener councils were founded in Cleveland, Columbus, central Wisconsin, northern California and New York City with the goal of representing members at public hearings before the FCC or during license renewal proceedings.
The radio spectrum was viewed by some as a public resource rather than a primarily commercial one and there were various efforts to insert political messages into commercial broadcasts.
Prior to 1966 the FCC did not allow members of the public to be represented at administrative licensing proceedings, until the DC circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the FCC was required to allow citizen participation in these proceedings.
The reform movement has directed significant efforts to the meaning of the public interest standard seeking to include within that standard the rights of audiences, and public access and participation, but reformer attempts to redefine the fundamental purpose of broadcasting has been hampered by the public policy commitment to maintain a private, commercial and network oriented broadcasting industry.

The son of Archibald Douglas, 10th of Timpendean and of Bonjedward, and his wife Helen Bennett, William Douglas is descended from the daughter of William, 1st Earl of Douglas and thereafter through 12 generations of father to son.
He entered the army in 1786, as ensign in the 1st Battalion of the 1st of Foot; and was appointed Lieutenant in 1789.
He served in Ireland during the whole of the rebellion, and was afterwards appointed to the Staff there in the capacity of Assistant-Quartermaster-General.
In 1805, in command of the 98th Regiment, which he had helped form,  he served with the regiment in Nova Scotia, Canada, Bermuda, and on the coast of America.
General Sir John Coape Sherbrooke,  commander of the British forces in the Atlantic provinces, led an expedition into the long-disputed borderland between Passamaquoddy Bay and the Penobscot River, which he renamed the colony of New Ireland.
Sherbrooke led an expeditionary force that August which successfully landed at Castine and proceeded to subdue the entire region between the Penobscot and the St Croix.
It was Lieut.-Colonel Douglas, with part of the army which first landed, which took possession of the fort and town of Castine.
In 1810, he married Marianne Tattersall, with whom he had several children (7 or 9, depending on sources), including a son born in Cork in 1817.
He was succeeded by his son, Major George Douglas, 12th of Timpendean who was later to sell the estate in 1843.

Timothy Glover concludes that while it was created at a monastery, the two secular drinking songs at the end of the manuscript suggests it was unlikely to have been used in a liturgical setting.
The 'burdens', a type of refrain performed at the beginning of the song and between verses, are the earliest example of a carol manuscript explicitly directing what it now known as a 'chorus'.
The incorporation of Latin phrases from the liturgy of the Catholic Church feature in many of the burdens – as all church services were conducted in Latin, even non-speakers would have been familiar with their meaning.

The U Sports women's volleyball championship is an annual tournament that features the top eight women's volleyball teams from among competing Canadian universities in U Sports.
The championship trophy, first awarded in 1977, features a two-wheeled oxcart, symbolizing the pioneer era on the Red River in Manitoba.
The 2019 champions are the UBC Thunderbirds, who have also won the most championships with a total of 12, including six in a row from 2008 to 2013.
In 1969, the Canadian Women’s Interuniversity Athletic Union (CWIAU) was formed (a pre-cursor to today's U Sports organization) to provide a regulatory body for national competition.
While full historical championship results are not readily available, the championship was initially a round-robin tournament where the teams with the best records would then play for the championship.
The championship currently consists of an eight-team tournament, with champions from each of the four conferences, one host, an additional OUA team, and two additional Canada West teams.
While the berths for the conference champions and host remain consistent year-to-year, the other three invitees can change based on the host's conference and the competitive landscape in U Sports.
Teams are ranked by a committee as well as by the ELO ranking used to determine weekly Top 10 rankings nationally.
The team ranked 1st plays the 8th ranked team, 2nd plays 7th, 3rd plays 6th, and 4th plays 5th in the quarter-finals.
To ensure common rest times, teams are not re-seeded after the first round, so the winner of 1v8 plays the winner of 4v5 and the winner of 2v7 plays the winner of 3v6.
Prior to 1983, there were no third place finishes, and the second place finish was the loser of the championship game.

Luis Eduardo Parra Rivero (born 7 July 1978) is a Venezuelan politician who is in a dispute with Juan Guaidó over who is the President of the National Assembly of Venezuela based on a vote on 5 January 2020, which has international implications: Juan Guaidó's claim as acting President of Venezuela is based on being President of the National Assembly of Venezuela.
On 1 December, the website Armando.info published an investigation reporting that nine parliamentaries mediated in favor of two businessmen linked with the government.
Parra was accused of being involved in corruption with the Local Committees for Supply and Production (CLAP) program of the Nicolás Maduro government.
After the investigation was published, the deputies Parra, José Brito, Conrado Pérez and José Gregorio Noriega were suspended and expelled from their parties Justice First and Popular Will.
Parra, Brito and Pérez objected to their expulsion and filed a case before Venezuela's Supreme Tribunal of Justice, in which they petitioned the court to have their party membership reinstated.
On January 5, 2020, the 2020 Venezuelan National Assembly Delegated Committee election took place to determine who would be the President of the National Assembly.
On the morning of the election, Parra announced his candidacy to the presidency of the National Assembly by surprise, against the incumbent president Juan Guaidó.
Parra–who was previously barred from access to the legislative chambers–was granted access to the legislative palace while others of the opposition (to Maduro) were blocked at the entrance.
A separate session was carried out outside parliament where 100 of the 167 deputies re-elected Juan Guaidó as president of the parliament.
Ruling party deputy Pedro Carreño told AFP that the vote took place with 150 deputies present and that Parra received the simple majority of 84 needed to win.
In 2019, nearly 60 countries recognized Guaidó as the Acting President of Venezuela, and these countries potentially face the question of recognizing his successor and their government over Maduro.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the election contributes to the return of the intra-Venezuelan political struggle to the constitutional field that will find a peaceful exit to the ongoing crisis.
Opposition deputies denounced that Russia looked after supporting Parra to improve its businesses in Venezuela, including to increase the Russian shareholder participation in oil contracts and other mining consessions that need the approval of the National Assembly and that it would not have with Guaidó.
The sanctioned have their assets in the US frozen and are not allowed to do business with US financial markets nor with US citizens.
The list also includes the other members of Parra's appointed board of directors: Franklyn Duarte, José Goyo Noriega and Negal Morales.

Oru Rathri Oru Pakal (A night, a day) is a 2019 Indian Malayalam film written and directed by award-winning cinematographer Prathap Joseph,whose previous films as cinematographer include , Sexy Durga, and Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani?.
Oru Rathri Oru Pakal, his fourth film as a cinematographer-director, is set and filmed in Shoranur and stars Yamuna Chungappalli and Mari in the lead roles.
Prathap Joseph's film is not to be confused with another Malayalam film with precisely the same title, directed by Thomas Benjamin and starring Joju George, Lena, Nadhiya Moidu, Shanthi Krishna, Renji Panicker and Anarkali Marikar.By a strange coincidence, both films started shooting at approximately the same time.
This indie film was produced by Minimal Cinema in association with House of Illusions, lead by Prathap Joseph and Dalton, respectively.
The film had its Indian premiere in Dec 2019 at the 3rd edition of the Kazhcha-Niv Independent Film Festival (KNIFF), the rebel festival that runs parallel to the International Film Festival of Kerala.
Prior to the screenings, the filmmaker and seven others had moved the High Court against the latter festival for irregularities in the official selection process.
The film has also been selected in the Panchajanyam International Film festival, the International Film Festival of Trichur, the Yashwant International Film festival, and the Orange City International Film Festival.

Contrary to narratives provided by early histories, evidence indicates that Maha Manikya was the founder of the kingdom, having established dominance over neighbouring tribes in the early 15th century.
Here, he is described as the son of Mukut Manikya, himself the son of the dynasty's supposed founder, Ratna Manikya I, a descendant of the mythological Lunar dynasty.
Upon ascending the throne, Maha is said to have proved himself a virtuous ruler and distinguished scholar, with no mention of any military engagements during his reign.
Numismatic evidence proves that Maha could not have been the son of Mukut, given that the latter had only begun his rule in 1489.
It is believed that Chhengthung Fa (later Maha Manikya) was a Tripuri chief who had established the Tripura kingdom in the early 15th century by subjugating neighbouring tribes, namely the Kukis, Jamatias and Reangs among others.
This was possible due to the Tripuri having the largest tribal population as well as its inhabitancy of the productive and fertile valleys bordering Bengal, lying between Sylhet and Chittagong.
These events are believed to have occurred around the time that Raja Ganesha had established temporary sovereignty over Bengal, when the influence of its Sultan was weak.
When he learned that a large army was dispatched against him, Chhengthung Fa was prepared to sue for peace but was prevented from doing so by his queen, Tripura Sundari.
She declared submission to be an act of cowardice and convinced her husband to fight, taking command of the soldiers herself and leading them to victory over Bengal.
However, due to the similarity between the coins of Sultan Jalaluddin Muhammad Shah and that of a later Tripura ruler, it has been suggested that some part (or perhaps temporarily, the entirety) of the kingdom had submitted to Bengal during Maha's reign, though this is disputed among historians.
Maha died in 1431 and following a brief struggle among his children and generals, he was succeeded by his eldest son Dharma Manikya I.

Fatoot samneh () is an Israeli dish of Yemenite Jewish origin, consisting of pieces of pita that have been fried in clarified butter and combined with beaten egg, that is commonly served as a breakfast or dinner dish, and is traditionally topped with honey.
It is somewhat similar to the Jewish matzah brei or the Mexican-American migas, which are made with matzo, and corn tortillas, respectively; whereas fatoot samneh is made with pita bread.
Fatoot samneh originated as a way for the Yemenite Jewish community to use and repurpose stale pita bread that would have otherwise been discarded.
Over time fatoot samneh became a popular, and traditional dish among the Yemenite Jews as both a way to use up stale pita bread that was past its prime, as well as a popular breakfast or dinner dish.
Fatoot samneh consists of pita bread or some other flatbread such as saluf, laffa, or malawach, that was often leftover from another use or stale, and has been torn or cut into pieces and fried until crisp in a large amount of samneh (clarified butter), although butter or chicken schmaltz are also sometimes used.
Once the dish is finished is traditionally topped with honey as a sweet dish, although savory versions also exist and some top it with labneh, tehina, chili oil, shkug, resek avganiyot (grated tomatoes), among other toppings.
Stale flatbread is torn into small pieces and fried in a large amount of hot clarified butter, butter (for milchig/dairy variations), or schmaltz (for fleishig/meat variations, until the pita pieces are toasted and become crispy.
Several eggs are heated with kosher salt, and added to the fried pita mixture, which is stirred continuously similar to scrambled eggs, until the eggs are set and have been somewhat absorbed by the pita.
Once the fatoot samneh is cooked through it is then topped with honey, silan, or a range of other toppings, condiments, and seasonings.

Several federal referendums will be held in Switzerland in 2020, with voting on 9 February, 17 May, 27 September and 29 November.
Two referendums will be held on 9 February, with voters asked whether they approve of a popular initiative to increase affordable housing by promoting housing cooperatives, and whether legislation preventing discrimination based on sexual orientation should be overturned.
The affordable housing initiative – to require 10% of new flats to be owned by housing cooperatives and abolish government subsidies for renovating luxury flats – was put forward by the national alliance of tenants' association and supported by left-wing parties, and was approved after 106,000 signatures were submitted.
The vote on the anti-homophobia legislation was forced by the Federal Democratic Union and the youth wing of the Swiss People's Party after the legislation was approved in December 2018.
A December 2019 opinion poll showed support for the affordable housing at 66% with 30% against, while overturning the anti-discrimination legislation had the support of only 28% of voters, with 69% against.

It has been brought to Israel by Yemenite Jews, where it is very popular and commonly made at home, and is also available in restaurants as well as in frozen form at supermarkets across Israel.
Malawach is made from the same dough as jachnun, a Yemenite Jewish Shabbat bread, and both originated as a variation of hojaldre, a Sephardic Jewish puff pastry, brought to Yemen by Jews expelled from Spain.
Malawach resembles a thick pancake, but it consists of thin layers of puff pastry brushed with oil or fat and cooked flat in a frying pan.
Malawach was traditionally prepared at home by the women in the Yemenite Jewish community, and is made out of a laminated dough similar to puff pastry that has been enriched with either butter, Clarified butter, or margarine if pareve; creating a very flaky consistency with many layers, similar to a croissant.
The dough is divided into balls, and is rolled out and then commonly placed between wax paper and placed in the freezer.
It is then fried in a small amount of oil from a frozen state, as it is fried fresh the butter or other fat will seep out of the dough, making it harder to work with and not flaky.
Freezing the dough helps the butter or other fat remain in solid form once the malawach comes into contact with the hot oil, causing the creation of it's signature flaky layers, and causing the bread to rise somewhat.
It is served hot, traditionally with zhoug, resek, and beitzah (hardboiled egg), although a variety of other pairings and dips are now popular as well such as honey, jam, labneh, shakshouka, baba ghanoush, matbucha, and muhammara, among others.
Through expulsion of Yemenite Jews from Yemen in the mid-20th century, and their subsequent refuge in Israel, it has become a very popular dish in Israel, and a favorite comfort food for Israelis of all backgrounds and origins.
Malawach is traditionally made at home by members of the Yemenite Jewish community, but with the newfound, widespread popularity of malawach in Israel in recent decades it is now commonly served at restaurants in Israel, many of which are dedicated to serving malawach, and related dishes such as jachnun.
It is commonly used as a sandwich wrap similar to a laffa, and is commonly served with shakshouka, hummus, sabich, and many other dishes.
Frozen malawah is commonly available in grocery stores across the nation, by brands such as Ta'amti, and Osem, and is exported abroad to kosher supermarkets in the United States, UK, Canada, France, and other nations.

The first soil resistance measuring instrument was invented in the 1950s by Evershed & Vignoles Meggers who made the first insulation and earth resistance testers.
By a standard of the National Electrical Code the resistance of the soil should be less than 25 Ohms to reliably and efficiently ground the installation.
The deflection of the pointer of the analog screen depends on the ratio of the voltage of pressure coil to the current of the current coil.
When measuring earth resistance with an instrument, it is important to know some of its basic characteristics in order to accurately measure the soil resistance and to properly size the grounding installation.
If the instrument cannot operate at a certain humidity, then the measurement may differ significantly from the real value of soil resistance.

Now in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, it was in Emmanuel Chabrier's collection until 1896, when it was bought by the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel.
Two years later Durand-Ruel sold it on to the Moscow businessman Pyotr Shchukin for 15,000 francs, though its new owner dared not exhibit it in his gallery and so kept it in his bedroom for fourteen years before selling it to his brother Sergei in June 1912.
The Soviet state seized the work in 1918 and exhibited it in the 1st Museum of New Western Painting, then the State Museum of New Western Art and finally in its present gallery from 1948 onwards.

Henry or Henrie Anthonie Jetto (1569/70 — 30 August 1627) was a black English yeoman, the earliest-known black person with an extant will in England and the earliest to have resided in Worcestershire.
Jetto first appears in records on 3 March 1596, when, at age twenty-six, he was baptised at St Martin's Church, Holt.
Sir Henry Bromley had attended the Masque at the baptism of Prince Henry at Stirling Castle in August 1594 which featured a black actor.
Such a position would have afforded Jetto the privilege of voting in local elections - making Jetto the first African to vote in England - as well as much sway in local court cases.
It also points towards Jetto's status as an independent and affluent black Briton, having risen from Bromley's employment to a senior position in the county's hierarchy, which required Jetto to hold no less than 40s worth of land.
The will contains legacies bequeathed to Jetto's children, and grandchildren, totaling to £17 15s 8d, and was executed on 13 September 1638.
Both Henry and Persida's wills mention their five children: Sarah, Margaret, John, Helena and Richard, all of whom were baptised in Holt between 1598 and 1608.
Jetto was rediscovered in 2007 by a distant descendant, Martin Bluck, researching his family history in the Worcestershire History Centre when he discovered the records of Jetto's baptism and burial.

It was listed as a Historic Monument in 1916, whereas the belfry of the original church across the street was listed in 1840.
The re-construction of the church started in 1559 under the supervision of prime contractor Jean de Renneville and ended in 1567.
The old tower remained isolated from the new church by the ruins of the original church and served as a bell tower, municipal belfry and daymark.
The space between the new church and the belfry was transformed into a public pathway in 1591, then into a street in 1731.
In 1782, extension works were made by architect Victor Louis on the behalf of intendant de Calonne to cope with the population growth.
Victor Louis offered to move the outer walls beyond the abutments of the side aisles and to merge the two side chapels to build two additional naves.
The first stone was laid on April 11, 1887, and the new façade was ended in 1889 by the city architect .
The long church is made of bricks, except for the window frames, the pillars of the interior and the façade that are made of white stone.
Produced by Prateek Chakravorty and Shruti Nallappa of Pramod Films, the film stars R. Madhavan and Shraddha Srinath in the lead roles.
The producers were initially keen to retain Parvathy Thiruvothu from the original version, and considered either Vijay Sethupathi, Sivakarthikeyan or Siddharth to play the titular role.
In April 2016, R. Madhavan was signed on to play the lead role, while Prakkat agreed to also direct the Tamil version.
In January 2017, actress Sai Pallavi signed on to play the leading female role, with the makers announcing that production would soon begin in Ooty and Pondicherry.
Ghibran was signed as the film's music composer, Deepak Bhagwan was selected to be the cinematographer and Malayali art director Ajayan Challisery was also picked to join the crew.
The 16th Guards Rifle Division was reformed as an elite infantry division of the Red Army in February, 1942, based on the 1st formation of the 249th Rifle Division, and served in that role until well after the end of the Great Patriotic War.
It was in Kalinin Front when it was redesignated and remained in the northern half of the front throughout the war.
In the summer it was assigned to Western Front's 30th Army to the north of the Rzhev salient and took part in the stubborn and costly struggle for the village of Polunino just east of that town in August.
It returned to the fighting in March, 1943 in the followup to the German evacuation of the salient, then was reassigned to the new 11th Guards Army, where it would remain for the duration of the war.
During the summer offensive against the German-held salient around Oryol it assisted in the liberation of Karachev and received its name as an honorific.
By December, after fighting through western Russia north of Smolensk the division was in 1st Baltic Front, attacking south towards Gorodok and winning the Order of the Red Banner in an ultimately unsuccessful effort to seize Vitebsk.
By the start of the offensive against Army Group Center in the summer of 1944 the 16th Guards had been redeployed with its Army to the south of Vitebsk as part of 3rd Belorussian Front, where it would remain for the duration.
Driving westward during Operation Bagration the division helped to liberate the key city of Orsha and then drove on towards Minsk.
With its Army it advanced through Lithuania to the border with East Prussia, being further decorated with the Order of Suvorov for its crossing of the Neman River.
As part of the East Prussian Offensive the 16th Guards entered that heavily-fortified region and helped gradually break the German resistance there, particularly at Insterburg and Königsberg, ending the fighting at Pillau.
The division, which had been recruited on the basis of a cadre from the NKVD internal troops, was officially raised to Guards status on February 16, 1942 in recognition of its role in the Toropets-Kholm Offensive, the annihilation of the German 189th Infantry Regiment at Okhvat in January and the subsequent liberation of Toropets.
Maj. Gen. German Fedorovich Tarasov, who had led the 249th Rifle Division since it had been formed in July, 1941, remained in command.
At the time it was redesignated the division was in 4th Shock Army of Kalinin Front where it remained until May when it was moved to the Front reserves for much-needed rebuilding and replenishment.
On March 16 the division received the Order of Lenin, which it had been recommended for while it was still the 249th.
Tarasov was reassigned as acting commanding officer of 24th Army on April 12; he went on to a rather spotty career over the next two-and-a-half years, including as the first commander of 70th Army, ultimately being demoted to deputy commander of 53rd Army before being killed in action in Hungary in October 1944.
At the beginning of July the division was in the reserve 58th Army and by the end of the month it had been assigned to 30th Army, both in Kalinin Front.
For the First Rzhev–Sychyovka Offensive Operation the 30th Army was committed along with the 29th Army of its Front and two armies of Western Front to break through the defenses of German 9th Army north and east of Rzhev.
The commander of the Front's artillery, Maj. Gen. N. M. Khlebnikov, recalled:By the end of the first day units of 30th Army had broken through on a front of 9 km and to a depth of 6 to 7 km.
Under these conditions the Army's units became bogged down in bitter fighting in the area of Polunino northeast of Rzhev and its offensive ground to a halt.
On the following day Army Gen. G. K. Zhukov was appointed to overall command of the two Fronts and proposed to liberate Rzhev with 30th and 31st Armies as soon as August 9.
However it was not until August 21 that Polunino finally fell to the combined efforts of 16th Guards, 2nd Guards Motorized and 52nd Rifle Divisions, after which these severely depleted units advanced to the outskirts of Rzhev.
Over the next two days it reached the Volga River 5–6 km west of the city and forced a crossing on August 29, but was unable to go farther.
During September 30 Army continued to attack, gradually gaining several blocks in the northeast sector of the city before finally going over to the defense on October 1.
In the course of the fighting through August and September it suffered total personnel losses of 99,820 to gain 10 km on its right flank and 20 km on its left.
Col. Pyotr Grigorevich Shafranov was reassigned from command of the 44th Guards Artillery Regiment to command of the division the following day; he would be promoted to the rank of major general on November 27.
In January, 1943 the division was moved to the reserves of Western Front for further rebuilding and in February it was assigned to 50th Army in the same Front but considerably farther to the south.
Its history recounted:Prior to this date the 16th Guards had been again transferred, now to 33rd Army, still in Western Front.
In April the division was shuffled once again, now to the 16th Guards Rifle Corps of 16th Army, remaining in Western Front.
Before the German offensive at Kursk had ended the Bryansk and Western Fronts began an offensive against the northeastern flank of the German-held salient around Oryol on July 12.
More than half of its tanks and panzergrenadiers attacked over a commanding height and ran into the 16th Guards Corps, which was itself preparing for an attack with strong tank support.
The German armor, driving eastward, was blinded by the rising sun and did not see the Soviet tanks and guns until they were at very close range.
On August 15 both the 16th Guards Corps and the 16th Guards Division were among the units recognized by the Supreme High Command for their roles in the liberation of Karachev, and the division was one of four that were awarded its name as an honorific.
Ideally the right flank of Army Group Center would be destabilized and in retreat after evacuating the Oryol salient, but in the event it consolidated along the Hagen line at its base.
On July 30 the 11th Guards Army was transferred to Bryansk Front and advanced towards the Front's namesake city through August and September.
When the Front was disbanded on October 10 the Army accompanied its headquarters northwest to the area east of Velikiye Luki.
The headquarters was used to establish Baltic Front (2nd Baltic Front as of October 20) and the Army remained under its command.
Given the complex situation in the Nevel region, where the 3rd and 4th Shock Armies had carved out a large salient behind the lines of German 16th Army (Army Group North) and 3rd Panzer Army (Army Group Center), Col. Gen. Bagramyan, who now commanded the Front, planned an attack along the Gorodok - Vitebsk axis with 11th Guards Army.
The Corps was on the east side of the apex of the salient held by 3rd Panzer Army, due south of Lake Ezerishche, with all three divisions (16th, 84th Guards and 360th Rifle) in first echelon.
Of the Corps' three divisions only the 84th Guards was able to penetrate the German's first defensive positions on the first day of the assault; by contrast the 16th Guards managed an advance of only 400-600m before being halted by heavy German fire.
Following this success the 16th Guards Division expanded the penetration toward Laptevka and Surmino in the rear of the German 87th Infantry Division, which was also being pressed eastward by elements of 4th Shock Army.
By early on the 15th that division, along with part of the 129th, had been completely encircled by the advance forces of the two Soviet armies.
The remnants of the pocketed units struggled to escape to the southwest over the next 24 hours; some did, but many did not.
While much of 11 Guards Army spent December 17 and 18 reducing the German pocket the 36th Guards Corps advanced 6 - 8km south towards hastily-erected defenses held by the remaining forces of 20th Panzer, 252nd and 129th Infantry and 6th Luftwaffe Field Divisions.
This line was soon overcome and Gorodok was finally liberated on December 24; three days earlier the 16th Guards Division had been recognized for its successes in the earlier stages of the offensive with the award of the Order of the Red Banner.
On January 6, 1944 the 1st Baltic Front began a new offensive with 11th Guards and 4th Shock Armies from the northwest in the direction of that city.
Lt. Gen. K. N. Galitskiy, the 11th Guards commander, designated the 16th and 36th Guards Corps as the Army's shock groups, which were to penetrate the defenses of the German LIII Army Corps in the Mashkina and Lake Zaronovskoe sector before advancing on Vitebsk north of the Sorotino-Vitebsk road.
General Galitskiy later described the struggle of 16th Guards for the German strongpoint at the village of Kukhori as an example of the frustrating fighting during this offensive:A full rifle regiment of the division assaulted the strongpoint twice between January 9-11 but even with support of a sapper company and heavy artillery fire failed to dislodge the defenders.
This was formed from a battalion of the 43rd Guards Regiment supported by a reinforced reconnaissance company and sappers, subdivided into several assault groups each with a specific objective.
Galitskiy formed his shock group from the 8th and 36th Guards Corps backed by the 1st Tank Corps and facing the 87th Infantry Division plus battlegroups from 20th Panzer and the 201st Security Divisions from Mashkina southward past Lake Zaronovskoe to Gorbachi.
After an extensive artillery preparation the shock group quickly overcame the forward defenses of the 87th Infantry and in two days of fighting advanced up to 3.5km.
The 16th and 84th Guards Divisions reached the western outskirts of Kisliaki and captured the German strongpoint at Gorodishche on the north shore of Lake Zaronovskoe.
By the end of February 3 the shock group had made enough progress that General Bagramyan released the 26th Guards Rifle Division from 36th Guards Corps' second echelon, while 1st Tank Corps went into action the next morning.
The tanks attacked along the Kozly and Mikhali axis at dawn and in two days of heavy fighting with the help of their supporting riflemen managed to advance another 4km, taking Kozly and Novoselki before being halted by 20th Panzer.
By the end of February 5, although LIII Corps had lost considerable territory north of the Vitebsk-Sirotino road its defenses were firming up.
After a brief regrouping the attack began again on February 7 but 36th Corps made no notable progress before the offensive was halted on February 16.
By now 1st Tank Corps had fewer than 10 tanks serviceable, the rifle divisions of 11th Guards Army numbered fewer than 3,000 personnel each due to nearly constant combat since mid-fall, and they had used up most of their ammunition.
The next day Bagramyan was ordered to withdraw the Army for rest and refitting with the intention to commit it against Army Group North which was falling back from Leningrad.
In the event, after a period in the Reserve of the Supreme High Command it was reassigned to 3rd Belorussian Front in May.
On April 27 General Ryzhikov was briefly replaced in command by Lt. Col. Vasilii Vasilevich Kilkhanidze but returned to his post on May 22.
In the buildup to the summer offensive against Army Group Center the 11th Guards Army trained intensively in the forests in the Nevel region and received over 20,000 replacements, bringing the 16th Guards and the rest of its rifle divisions to an average of 7,200 personnel each.
Beginning on May 25 the Army moved up well behind the front of 3rd Belorussian, followed by a secret move of 300km on June 12-13 to a sector north of the Dniepr River 30km northeast of Orsha, replacing elements of 31st Army.
General Galitskiy screened most of his sector with the 16th Guards Corps while the 8th and 36th Corps concentrated on a narrow sector adjacent to 31st Army.
On June 22 the 36th Corps was crammed into less than 10km with 8th Corps and had two heavy tank regiments and two assault gun regiments attached.
General Galitskiy decided to launch his main attack along the highway to Minsk on a sector from Ostrov Yurev to Kirieva.
The immediate objective was to break through the German defense and pave the way for the 2nd Guards Tank Corps to seize the line of the Orshitsa River by the end of the first day.
36th Guards Corps, on the Army's left flank, would attack the sector from Slepin to Kirieva towards Shalashino to reach just outside Makarovo.
Along with the other first-echelon divisions of its Front, the 16th Guards prepared a forward battalion to take part in a reconnaissance in force which was conducted through the afternoon and evening of June 22, supported by a 25-minute artillery preparation.
While the main purpose of this reconnaissance was to uncover the German fire system, seizing their forward defenses was a secondary goal.
While the battalions of 5th Army to the north had considerable success in this regard in 11th Guards Army only the battalions of the division and the 31st Guards Rifle Division were able to consolidate the first German trench line.
The 8th and 36th Guards Corps encountered fierce resistance from the 78th Assault Division and other German units and through the day only advanced 2km.
While 8th and 16th Guards Corps advanced as much as 14km during the day, 36th Corps had still not cleared a path for the commitment of 2nd Guards Tanks.
The next day the Army focused its efforts on the sector of 16th Corps which threw the German forces back another 7-12km and was by now deeply outflanking Orsha from the north.
On June 26 as the leading Corps of 11th Guards attacked towards Borisov to prevent 4th Army from withdrawing across the Berezina River, the 36th Corps prepared to capture Orsha in conjunction with 31st Army.
The Corps began fighting in the northern and western outskirts in the late evening and after stubborn fighting the city was completely cleared by 0700 hours on June 27.
By now the 36th Corps was 35-40km in the rear of the rest of 11th Guards Army and it spent the next few days catching up.
On June 29 the main body of 11th Guards advanced 30km, closing to within 22-28km of the Berezina while 36th Corps covered up to 40km pursuing rapidly retreating German forces.
By the end of the next day the entire 11th Guards had consolidated along a line from Lishitsy to Logoisk to Sarnatsk to Smolevichi.
This line was cracked by a deliberate attack beginning at midday on July 7 despite German tank ambushes and heavy counterattacks.
On July 8 the leading units of the Army advanced another 25-30km and by now were approaching Vilnius, which held a garrison of about 15,000 men.
While the battle for this city went on until the 13th forward detachments of 5th Guards Tank reached the Neman River, followed by the left flank and center forces of the Front.
By the end of July 15 the Army, in cooperation with 5th Army, had seized a bridgehead 28km long and 2-6km deep, while it also was maintaining a second bridgehead up to 6km deep.
These continued to expand in fighting through to the 20th while repelling German counterattacks, at which point the Front went over to a temporary defense.
By now the 16th Guards had only two companies in each rifle battalion, and each company averaged 25-30 men; in addition the 44th Guards Artillery was lagging behind.
On August 12 the division was awarded the Order of Suvorov, 2nd Degree, for its part in the forcing of the Neman.
On the 20th General Ryzhikov handed his command to Maj. Gen. Georgii Andrianovich Vasilev, but returned to his post on September 4.
On October 16 Ryzhikov left the division again, now to become acting commander, and later deputy commander, of 36th Guards Corps.
On the same day the division, along with the rest of 11th Guards, began attacking into East Prussia as part of the Front's abortive Goldap-Gumbinnen Operation, which ended in early November.
In the planning for the Vistula-Oder Offensive the 11th Guards Army began in the second echelon of 3rd Belorussian Front, on a sector from Kybartai to Kaukern on the right and Millunen to Georgenburg on the left.
I. D. Chernyakhovsky, decided to use his 11th Guards, 5th and 28th Armies to encircle and eliminate the German Insterburg - Gumbinnen group of forces, with the objective of pursuing and advancing directly on Königsberg.
General Galitskiy chose to attack the town at night with the 36th Guards Corps, to break into the town from the north and destroy the German garrison (remnants of the 1st, 56th and 349th Infantry Divisions with tanks from the 5th Panzer Division) in cooperation with 5th Army's 72nd Rifle Corps from the northeast and east.
The 36th Guards Corps carried out a regrouping and attacked at 2300 hours on January 21 following a 20-minute artillery preparation; it was met by powerful machine gun and mortar fire and frenzied counterattacks.
In response the Corps commander, Lt. Gen. P. K. Koshevoi, committed the 84th Guards Division from second echelon and at 0100 hours on January 22 its regiments broke through the defense.
Facing encirclement, most of the German forces began falling back to the south with the 16th and 18th Guards in pursuit to the Inster River.
After failing to blow the bridges the German troops fell back in disorder into the town, closely followed by the two Guards divisions.
Despite this the supporting 75th Tank Regiment, mounted with sub-machine gunners, broke into Insterburg at 0230 hours, and its gains were soon consolidated by the attacking guardsmen.
Suffering heavy losses from direct artillery and automatic weapons fire the garrison fell back to the town's center as 72nd Corps entered the fray.
On February 19 the 46th and 49th Guards Rifle Regiments would be decorated with the Order of the Red Banner for their roles in the taking of this town, while the 44th Guards Artillery Regiment would receive the Order of Kutuzov, 3rd Degree.
Also on January 22 the remainder of 11th Guards Army reached the Kurisches Haff along with elements of 43rd and 39th Armies, before developing its attack to the southwest and forcing the Pregel River.
On January 30 the 16th Guards Corps reached the Frisches Haff, cutting off the German Königsberg grouping from the south while the 8th and 36th Guards Corps attacked some of the city's fortifications from the march and captured several permanent concrete structures.
On February 9 these three Soviet armies operating close to Königsberg were transferred to 1st Baltic Front while 3rd Belorussian focused on eliminating the large group of German forces in the western regions of East Prussia.
As of February 24 the 1st Baltic was redesignated as the Zemland Group of Forces with the three armies and 3rd Air Army under command, now back as part of 3rd Belorussian Front.
Its left flank was able to advance 2-3km and the attack continued into the night and the following day through dense fog.
On March 15 the 36th Guards Corps captured Wangitt on the Frisches Haff, again cutting communications with the city, and three days later helped to take the strongpoint of Ludwigsort.
When the assault on Königsberg began on April 6 the 11th Guards was responsible for the attack from the south, with 36th Guards Corps on the left flank, closest to the Frisches Haff.
For the attack the Army was reinforced with the 23rd Tank Brigade, three self-propelled artillery regiments, a Guards heavy tank regiment, the 10th Artillery Division and many other artillery units.
36th and 16th Guards Corps made the most progress, penetrating 4km into the German defenses, blockading two forts, clearing 43 city blocks and beginning fighting for the railway station.
On the afternoon of April 8 it forced the Pregel to the northwest of Ponart and linked up with 43rd Army, cutting off the fortress from the forces of the German Samland Group and also capturing the port area.
During the assault on Königsberg the 16th Guards Division was credited with 8,000 German officers and men killed or captured, plus 86 guns and 10 tanks as trophies.
In the Samland offensive that followed beginning on April 13 the 11th Guards Army was initially in the Zemland Group's second echelon.
It was committed into the first line overnight on April 17/18, relieving 2nd Guards Army on the Vistula Spit, facing the heavily fortified town of Pillau.
After reconnaissance over the next two days the 16th and 36th Guards Corps attacked at 1100 hours on April 20 but made little progress, which did not change the following day.
On May 17, in recognition of their services in the battle for Königsberg, the 43rd Guards Rifle Regiment was awarded the Order of Suvorov, 3rd Degree, the 46th and 49th Guards Rifle Regiments each received the Order of Kutuzov, 3rd Degree, and the 44th Guards Artillery Regiment was decorated with the Order of Aleksandr Nevsky.
The 16th Guards Division returned to the 16th Guards Rifle Corps in late 1946 after the 8th Guards Rifle Corps headquarters was transferred to become an airborne corps; it remained with the 16th Guards Rifle Corps until the disbandment of the latter headquarters in 1957.
It became the 16th Guards Motor Rifle Division on June 25, 1957, directly controlled by the 11th Guards Army headquarters, before being disbanded on September 1, 1960.
Created by the restaurant's founder and manager Eugene Krabs, it is what the main character SpongeBob cooks throughout his job as a fry cook, and the restaurant's trademark food and most famous burger in Bikini Bottom.
The Krabby Patty formula is a closely guarded trade secret, and rival restaurateur Plankton's futile attempts at acquiring the secret formula is a major recurring theme throughout the series.
The Krusty Krab usually attracts customers from Bikini Bottom because of the Krabby Patty's renowned taste and the fact that Plankton's restaurant, the Chum Bucket, has a menu consisting of mostly inedible chum.
Due to the lack of viable competition, Mr. Krabs is generally free to engage in price gouging, a practice he has been known to do throughout the show.
The Krabby Patty is made out of a frozen hamburger with buns, the patty, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, ketchup, mustard, and onions and with a Krabby Patty secret formula, though said secret formula has never been revealed in the series.
The sandwich comprises two buns, with the patty, lettuce, cheese, onions, tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, and pickles between them, (in that order).
A running gag is Plankton's obsession with obtaining it as a way to produce the sandwiches and attract customers to his across-the-street restaurant, the Chum Bucket.
Mr. Lawrence, a show writer and Plankton's voice actor, explained that the show's writers are not allowed to depict fish as food; he stated that there is no meat served in Bikini Bottom except at the Chum Bucket.
In 2008, a doctor with Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine warned parents to be aware of where the candy their child consumes is produced due to contamination then found in Chinese milk; Spongebob Gummy Krabby Patties were among those candies produced in China.
In 2019, a reporter with the student newspaper of Capital University gave the gummy candies a rating of a 2 out of 10 in their review of Halloween candy.
The Krabby Patty has been used by Katy Perry as a second costume on the red carpet at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
His work has appeared in Asimov's Science Fiction, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Black Gate, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Flashing Swords!, The Mythic Circle, and Strange Horizons.
It hosts a collection of valuable antique instruments dating back centuries, as well as rare musical recordings, manuscripts, and publications relating to Andalusi music and its legacy.

These sculptures and paintings comprise a complex, self-referential artistic program in which one of the most celebrated artists of his generation explored reception of Classical antiquity, creative inspiration, doppelgängers, and female beauty.
In December 1870, at a site called Tanagra in Greece, archaeologists unearthed a group of Hellenistic terra cotta figurines bearing traces of original polychrome.
The Tanagra figurines, which depicted not gods or heroes but ordinary people, were exhibited at the Exposition Universelle of 1878 in Paris, where they charmed and fascinated the public.
His famous images of gladiator combats, chariot races, slave markets, the assassination of Julius Caesar, and other subjects from ancient Greece and Rome were widely influential.
Although Gérôme opposed the admission of female art students to the École des Beaux-Arts, both of these paintings depict a female artist who is painting copies of Gérôme's Hoop Dancer figurine (a modern anachronism retrojected back in time).
These Hoop Dancers are offered for sale, along with other figurines, to browsing art-lovers (all female) who themselves resemble Tanagra figurines.
Behind the model on its own stand is a large polychrome Hoop Dancer statuette of the sort Gérôme made for sale to the public.
The self-portraits depict a real sculptor (Gérôme) bringing life to a statue by copying a living woman; the Pygmalion paintings depict a mythical sculptor whose statue is becoming a living woman.
But Gérôme painted at least one variant (now in a private collection), in which Pygmalion and Galatea are seen kissing from the front.
Viji Penkoottu (born 1968) created the women's union, Asanghaditha Mekhala Thozhilali Union (Union for workers of unorganised sectors) as a part of women's group Penkoottu, in Kerala, India and won basic rights for women working as saleswomen, including the right to sit during working hours.
As a child, Viji worked as a volunteer at the National Women's Conference held in 1992 in Kozhikode, where she found her political inspiration and direction in feminism.
At the time, as part of the motivation towards her future movements, whilst most of the family members in the home worked for money for the family, her father worked and spent money for parties and social events.
In the early 2000s, she organized meetings where women would compare salaries and working conditions at the biggest commercial area in Kozhikode, Mittayitheru.
At the time some were not allowed to drink water during summers, and others not able to go to the bathroom.
Even if there were no customers in the store, women would be paid less if they were caught sitting down on the security cameras.
It was after seeing this injustice, Viji created Penkoottu, a women's group named after the local word for 'a crowd of/ a friendship between women' that spread through several districts in Kerala.
After a law was passed winning several rights for working women on July 4, 2018, Viji still fights for many rights that have yet to be won.
She currently is the leader for the women-centric labour organization Asanghaditha Mekhala Thozhilali Union (AMTU), formed in 2014, translating to ‘Union of Workers in the Unorganized Sector’.
There have been disagreements from other union organizations however that state there is a space, and more women need to come forward.
Viji also pushes for the use of the word 'worker' over 'staff, due to the higher associated strength in the word.

Eugenia Pragierowa née Berke (14 July 1888 – 5 May 1964) was a lawyer, Polish socialist activist, feminist, and a politician representing the Polish Socialist Party and the Polish United Workers' Party.
In the years 1910–1914 she was a member of the PPS-Left, from 1919 a member of PPS, from 1919 to 1925, head of the Labor Protection Department of the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare, and from 1925 to 1939 lecturer at the Free Polish University.
From 1945, he was the director of the department of the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare, and then the Undersecretary of State in this ministry.
In 1948 she became a member of the Central Audit Commission of the Polish United Workers' Party, and in 1948-1954 a member of the Central Committee of the party.
She was vice-president of the Main Board of the League of Polish Women until 1964 and a delegate to the Women’s International Democratic Federation (WIDF), a socialist-feminist organization that was created in 1945 in Paris at the International Congress of Women.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is Canada's national police force established in 1920 after the Cabinet moved to have the Royal North-West Mounted Police absorb the Dominion Police.
In recent years there has been growing criticism of the level of harassment occurring within the RCMP and how harassment complaints are handled internally.
Using data from the 2016 General Social Survey (GSS) on Canadians at Work and Home, Statistics Canada finds that 19% of women and 13% of men experienced harassment in the workplace in the past year of at least one type (verbal abuse, humiliating behaviour, threats, physical violence, and unwanted sexual attention or sexual harassment), with verbal abuse being most commonly experienced.
Workplace Bullying Survey found that 61% of people who are bullied at work lose their job, and 74% lose their particular job (i.e.
If employees leave their job, this increases recruitment and training costs for companies and may place harassed individuals in an economically unstable position.
It has been found that harassment increases employee's use of their benefits programs and sick leaves, and reduces their productivity, significantly impacting employers.
Created in 1988, the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission (originally known as the Commission for Public Complaints against the RCMP) is an independent, impartial body that receives complaints from the public and reviews the handling of complaints when the complainant is dissatisfied with the RCMP's review process.
In a statement by Odette Lalumière, Senior Counsel for the Canadian Judicial Counsel, spoke specifically to the RCMP’s handling of internal harassment policy complaints, stating that their policy must comply with Treasury Board policy.
In November 2011, Ian McPhail, the former Interim Chair of the Commission for Public Complaints against the RCMP (now known as Civilian Review and Complaints Commission) made an official complaint and declared the initiation of a public interest investigation regarding the process in which allegations of harassment within RCMP workplaces are handled.
(b) If a written complaint is made, it is referred to a Human Resources Officer who decides if there is sufficient evidence to warrant a final decision or if there needs to be a further investigation.
The Human Resources Officer makes recommendations to the Responsible Officer (the Responsible Officer is typically a police officer from the same Division as the complainants) who makes the ultimate final decision regarding the complaint.
(c) If the Human Resources Officer recommends a criminal investigation, they will inform the Responsible Officer who will initiate a Code of Conduct investigation pursuant to Part IV of the RCMP Act.
In 2015, four RCMP officers (Alice Fox, Catherine Galliford, Susan Gastaldo and Atoya Montague) who were in the midst of civil lawsuits against the RCMP for alleged harassment wrote to the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, and the Liberal Members of Parliament and Senators.
The letter asked these figures for support in ensuring the women were not discharged from the RCMP before their civil legal proceedings were concluded.
), found that the process of civil litigation regarding alleged workplace harassment in the RCMP places unfair burden on the complainant, particularly in financial and emotional costs.
These four cases resulted in a significant win for current and former female RCMP employees who had experienced harassment within the workplace.
On October 6, 2016, the then RCMP Commissioner, Bob Paulson, officially apologized and offer $100 million in compensation for harassment and sexual abuse against female officers and employees in the RCMP, affecting more than 3,100 officers who claimed these offences occurred on the job.
In 2019, a class action lawsuit was formed on the grounds of alleged gender and sexual orientation-based discrimination and harassment within the RCMP.
While the RCMP has not admitted liability, they have settled with compensation of $10,000 - $220,000 for public-identified females who experienced harassment (including sexual harassment, physical assault, bullying based on gender or sexual orientation, sexual assault, and intimidation or abuse based on gender or sexual orientation) from September 16,1974 (the first year women were welcomed into the RCMP) to July 5, 2019 by RCMP personnel.
She was a member of the Løgting, the parliament of the Faroe Islands, representing Suðuroy for the Workers' Union party, 1994-1998.
The duathlon competition at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games in the Philippines was held at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone from 2 to 5 December 2019.
The mixed relay event was originally scheduled to take place on 4 December 2019 but was rescheduled to take place earlier on 2 December 2019 due to the anticipated weather caused by Typhoon Kanmuri (Tisoy).

Gabuco won a record fifth SEA Games gold medal while Petecio finally tasted success after being denied the top prize in 2013 and 2015.
The only Filipino fighter who failed to bring home a medal was defending light heavyweight champion John Marvin, who lost to Vietnam’s Truong Dinh Hoang in the quarterfinals.
Vietnam was the only other nation to win a gold medal in boxing, courtesy of Nguyen Thi Tam in the women’s flyweight division.
The Wairere Power Station is a hydroelectric power facility in the Waikato region in New Zealand which makes use of water from the Mokau River.
Water is drawn from behind a dam above the Wairere Falls, which diverts the water through two penstocks to the Wairere Power Station, before being discharged back into the Mokau River.
Three more generating units were added between 1938 and 1981 before a major refurbishment resulted in three of the units being replaced by a single generating unit in 2013-2014.
After being hired in 1903 by the Public Works Minister William Hall-Jones to investigate the hydro-electric potential of New Zealand, American electrical engineer L. M. Hancock identified 41 locations in 1904.
Lawrence Birks had become the chief electrical engineer of the Public Works Department (PWD) in 1919 was familiar with the falls and was able to convince a number of residents of Aria and Piopio that the Mokau River and Wairere Falls should be developed.
As a result, in November 1919 a group of citizens in Aria and Piopio formed a committee to undertake the work.
Clime & Son to undertake an investigation which he reported on at two meetings that were held recently at Piopio and Aria respectively.
Climie estimated that a turbine capacity of 125 hp would be ample to supply present requirements within a radius of the proposed power station and that double this amount would meet the demand for many years, provided no large industry such as a freezing or lime works required a supply.
As work progressed the committee were invited by an offer in August 1922 to amalgamate their efforts with the new created Te Kuiti provisional power board.
Wishing to maintain their independence and aware that they were remote from Te Kuiti they decided to continue on their own.
Despite the withdraw of some of the potential customers who had initially expressed their support the Wairere Electric Power Board was established in January 1923.
Following acceptance, the board began the process of obtaining the required water, power and distribution licences, as well as polling the ratepayers in their area to raise a loan to pay for the works.
Climie had estimated that the construction of the power station and associated distribution network would cost ₤38,500 plus an additional amount to pay for the first three years of operation until sufficient customers could be connected.
With the assistance of their local MP the board was able to obtain enough funds to commence construction of the power station.
The power station commenced commercial generation in December 1925, with 80 customers receiving a supply in Aria and Piopio and surrounding districts by January 1926.
The new power station was officially opened on 27 May 1926 by Prime Minister Gordon Coates with a single generating unit (G1) which had a Boving & Co horizontal Francis turbine driving a ASEA generator which gave an original installed capacity of 480 kW, which was generated at 6.6 kV.
The generating unit was supplied with water via a concrete and steel {convert|1.15|m|ft|abbr=on}} diameter, {convert|43|m|ft|abbr=on}} long penstock with a capacity of up to 3.1 cumecs.
By 1936 the Wairere Power Board had an annual revenue of £5,000, with the power station supplying about 350 consumers via approximately 120 miles of transmission line.
On 9 January 1936 while in the process of assisting in installing a new and more efficient stator on the generating unit Francis Rosengrave Harvey, an engineer employed by the Wairere Power Board was electrocuted and killed at the power station when a ruler with which he was taking measurements, came into contact with live equipment.
In 1938 the powerhouse was extended which allowed an additional 240 kW machine (G2) with a Boving & Co horizontal Francis turbine driving a ASEA generator to be installed which increased the total installed capacity to 624 kW.
This generating unit was supplied via a dual end concrete {convert|2.6|m|ft|abbr=on}} diameter, {convert|35|m|ft|abbr=on}} long penstock with a capacity of up to 7.1 cumecs to G2.
Eels were initially a problem at the power station, which was solved in 1939 by suspending an electrified rod in the surge chamber.
Following a period of dry weather which reduced the station's output and faced with increasing demand the board installed a second hand 200 kW diesel generator at the power station to supplement the station's output.
The commissioning of the second generating unit (G2) allowed essential loads to be supplied while G1 to be taken out of service and overhauled after having been in practically continuous operation since its installation.
While this repair was being carried out opportunity was taken install a new and more efficient stainless-steel runner, a rubber-lined submerged bearing was installed in place of the old oil circulation bearing, and improvements made to the lubrication system.
To impound more water a weir was built across the head of the falls and flashboards installed to raise the river level.
The tailrace was deepened in order to utilise all of the available head, while the riverbed downstream from the power station was blasted to remove the rock bars which have impeded the flow of the stream below the station.
Associated with the expansion of the power station the capacity of the transmission line which conveyed power from the power station to Piopio was doubled to cope with the heavy increase in consumption in this part of the Board's district.
Following the death of the power station's operator in October 1942 the offer of his widow Isobel Gibbs to undertake his duties as a contribution to the war effort was accepted at a salary of ₤4 10 shillings, which was 25% less than her late husbands.
Following the end of the Second World War the board hired Lloyd Mandeno to about improving the power station and its connection to the system.
He recommended that the board build a tie-line to connect the power station's output to the State Hydro-Electric Department's (SHD) system which would allow the board to supply its customers when the station was unable to supply all of its load as well as allowing them during periods of low load to sell any surplus generation from Wairere to the SHD.
A condition of the connection to the SHD system was that the power station had to be manned 24 hours a day, which led to a second operator joining Mrs Gibbs at the power station.
In August 1952 a major upgrade of the power station was completed which included the installation of an additional generating unit (G3) which had a horizontal Francis turbine driving a 825 kW Lancashire Dynamo & Crypto generator.
Following discussions that had been going on intermittently since the early 1930s the Wairere Electric Power Board merged with the Waitomo Electric Power Board in 1978 and took its name.
Between 1978 and 1981 the Wairere Power Station was upgraded at a cost of NZ$2 million and a new machine (G4) was added in 1981 which improved efficiency and maximized the use of the river flow.
In response to the introduction of the Energy Companies Act in 1992, the Waitomo Electric Power Board changed its financial structure to become Waitomo Energy Services Ltd.
In 1998 the New Zealand Government passed the Electricity Industry Reform Act which was intended to change the structure of the electricity industry to encourage competition.
This Act required the operational separation of lines and generation business activities by 1 July 1999 and separation of the ownership by 1 January 2004.
During the summer period of 2009 it was estimated that 1000 eels migrated downstream through the fish passage while approximately {convert|160|kg|lb|abbr=on}} of juvenile eels (elvers) had moved upstream.
In 2010 the company reviewed the operation of Wairere and identified the option of either overhauling the three old units or install a single new one.
The company opted for the latter and in December 2013 decommissioned units 1, 2 and 3 and replaced them with a single new generating unit, G5.
The commissioning of the new generating unit in June 2014, lead to a five per cent improvement in efficiency compared to what the older three units produced altogether.
As well as the installation of a new penstock, draft tube, main inlet valve, turbine, and generator, two of the existing turbines and associated draft tubes were removed.
In 2015 Trustpower became a majority shareholder of King Country Energy, which lead in 2017 to Trustpower taking over operation of all of KCE’s power stations following the signing of an operation and maintenance contract with KCE.
Water is impounded by a {convert|3.5|m|ft|abbr=on}} high concrete dam with a spillway flap gate, that can discharge up to 110 cumecs in normal conditions and up to 320 cumecs in a flood.
From each intake a single penstock transports the water to respectively the powerhouse, which was built in the late 1980s to house machine G4 and to a second powerhouse containing machine G5 which was commissioned in 2014.
The penstock that supplies G4 has a capacity of 17.55 cumecs, is of concrete construction, has a diameter of {convert|2.6|m|ft|abbr=on}} and is {convert|50.3|m|ft|abbr=on}} in length.
Generating unit G5 which was installed in 2014 consists of a Turab 1.12 m dia horizontal Francis turbine driving a 1.2 MW generator.
The power station is embedded within The Lines Company network behind Transpower's Hangitaki Substation, but can also be switched within The Lines Company network to support Transpower's Whakamaru substation on a limited supply basis.

Nehemiah 8 is the eighth chapter of the Book of Nehemiah in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, or the 18th chapter of the book of Ezra-Nehemiah in the Hebrew Bible, which treats the book of Ezra and book of Nehemiah as one book.
The part comprising the two chapters (this and the next) focus mainly on Ezra; with this chapter recording Ezra’s reading and instructing God's law to the people, then together they celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles with great joy.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes Codex Leningradensis (1008).
Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; formula_1; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: formula_1; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; formula_1; 5th century).
An ancient Greek book called 1 Esdras (Greek: ) containing some parts of 2 Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah is included in most editions of the Septuagint and is placed before the single book of Ezra–Nehemiah (which is titled in Greek: ).
The requirements of God's laws were founded on God's grace and the intention behind the Feast of Tabernacles was to commemorate God's miraculous deliverance of Israel.

In front of a packed Oriel Park, Dundalk took a 2–0 lead, and Eddie van Boxtel saved an Eric Cantona penalty, before United ran out 4–2 winners.
Manager Dermot Keely, a Jim McLaughlin protege who had won the Double in 1978–79 as a player at Oriel, had to rebuild the squad due to its age profile, despite a worsening financial position.
Early in the new season, however, the financial issues came to a head, and a number of local businessmen formed a new Interim Company to take the club over, saving it from bankruptcy.
They reached finals in both the League Cup, (losing 2–1 on aggregate), and the Leinster Senior Cup (losing 2–1), and in the FAI Cup they were defeated in the quarter-final.
With seven games to go in the League as many as eight clubs were in contention, but Dundalk were the most consistent, and Keely steered his team to a ninth league title on a final day of drama.
They defeated Galway United at home, then, with players and supporters waiting on the pitch to hear the results of Shelbourne's and Derry City's matches, news filtered through that both had failed to win, confirming Dundalk as Champions - their third title in eight seasons.
The trophy presented was that won in 1991, as the new trophy lay unopened in Athlone, where Derry City had been favourites to win out on the day.

The inauguration of the jubilee celebrations took place at the plenary session of the National Committee of the Unity Front on 16 February 1960 in Kalisz.
It was decided to use the anniversary by both the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and the Polish United Workers' Party) for the propaganda in Poland.
The church planned the celebration of the millennium of the baptism of Poland while the state authorities strictly commemorated the jubilee of the beginnings of the Polish nation.
While most of the diaspora and the religious Catholic community celebrated the introduction of Christianity in Poland, the Communist-led government of the Polish United Workers' Party (PZWP), which pursued a state policy of atheism, sought to undermine the international celebrations be re-conveying the anniversary as an anniversary of the birth of the Polish nation.
This specifically caused friction between the PRL and the Vatican, which resulted in the twice denyal of Pope Paul VI to visit Poland in 1966.
As a result of the decision, it was decided the following year that the 10 złotych note designed by Józef Gosławski with the image of Mieszko I and Princess Doubravka as a 100-złotych silver commemorative coin.
By decree of the President of the Polish Government in Exile August Zaleski of 1 July 1966, it was decided to mint a commemorative Medal of the Millennium of Christian Poland.
On 30 July 1966, the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing issued over 100,000,000 commemorative stamps in honor of the millennium anniversary.
In 1966, Cardinal Primate Stefan Wyszynski traveled all over the country, visiting every region, during which he was welcomed by tens and hundreds of thousands of people.
On 15 May 1966, in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, Bishop Vladislav Rubin, a delegate from Cardinal Primate, sent papal mass in honor of the Polish Church Province.
Like most military parades during that era, it was held in front of a grandstand near the Palace of Culture and Science on Parade Square.
It was attended by Władysław Gomułka, the then First Secretary of the Polish United Workers' Party, as well as members of the PZWP and the Polish Council of State and the Sejm.
The parade commander who gave its commands and directions was Major General Czesław Waryszak (1919-1979), the commander of the Warsaw Military District.
It parade featured units such as the Representative Honor Guard of the LWP and the Band of the LWP (led by Colonel Lisztok), both of which provided ceremonial honors speicifacally.
It uniquely featured cadets of military academies and other ceremonial units dressed in Polish historical military uniforms dating back to the Piast dynasty.
Some of the eras and events represented were the Knights of Bolesław I the Brave, the Battle of Grunwald and the Polish Armed Forces in the East.
The Polish Aie Force also performed a flyover in the shape of a Piast Eagle The parade is today regarded as the largest military parade in the history of Poland.
The closing ceremony of the Millennium celebrations was held at the Congress of Polish Culture on 7-9 October 1966 in Warsaw, which was attended by writers, scientists and activists from all over the country.
The film stars Michel Côté as Simon, a man in the throes of a midlife crisis who quits his job and undertakes a road trip to the United States after inheriting a beach house from his late mother, only to find Laurence (Claire Nebout), a young woman from France, squatting on the property.
The film received three Genie Award nominations at the 12th Genie Awards in 1991, for Best Cinematography (Guy Dufaux), Best Overall Sound (Michel Descombes, Luc Boudrias, Jo Caron, Richard Besse) and Best Sound Editing (Jérôme Décarie, Marcel Pothier, Antoine Morin, Diane Boucher).
Virgil Macey Williams (October 29, 1830 - December 18, 1886) was an American painter, and the director of the San Francisco School of Design.
Myra Carroll Winkler (1880 – August 21, 1963) was an American educator and was the first woman to hold elected office in El Paso County.
Winkler was born in Corsicana, Texas and her father, Clinton M. Winkler, was one of the first judges on the Texas State Court of Appeals.
Winkler was elected superintendent of El Paso County schools in 1912, becoming the first woman elected to public office in El Paso County.
In 1923, Winkler became an adjunct professor of history and economics at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), becoming the second woman to work as faculty at the school.
A school, Myra Winkler County School, was named after her, though the name was changed to Travis Elementary School in the 1950s.
Typhoon Kammuri, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Tisoy, was a powerful typhoon which impacted the Philippines in early December 2019.
The twenty-eighth named storm and sixteenth typhoon of the 2019 Pacific typhoon season, Kammuri developed from a tropical wave situated a couple hundred miles south of the Mariana Islands.
From November 25 up until November 27, the system tracked westward at a steady pace and rate of intensification, first making minor impacts in Guam.
From November 29 up until late December 1, Kammuri was unable to strengthen to previous estimates due to its near stationary movement as a result of weak steering currents, upwelling itself consequently.
On December 2, the system tracked westward at a much faster speed of 12 mph (19 km/h) and rapidly intensified over warm Philippine Sea waters, before making landfall in the Bicol Region of the Philippines at peak intensity as a category 4-equivalent typhoon.
Upon leaving the Philippines, Kammuri significantly weakened as wind shear increased and interaction with the Philippine islands caused the structure of the system to degrade rapidly, and throughout December 3, it stayed as a category 1-equivalent typhoon, with its outer rainbands barely on land.
Through December 5 and December 6, Kammuri weakened significantly and its low-level circulation center became exposed; as a result, it dissipated on December 6.
Kammuri then passed south of Guam, and further intensified into a severe tropical storm on November 27, and then into a typhoon the next day.
As the weak typhoon continued west, upwelling of itself due to its quasi-stationary movement combined with moderate wind shear hindered significant intensification of Kammuri over the next three days.
After entering the PAGASA's area of responsibility, Kammuri began to show signs of intensification again, and PAGASA noted the possibility of Kammuri making landfall in the Philippines as a somewhat powerful typhoon.
After very slowly moving west and on approach to the Philippines, the system began to accelerate towards the Philippines and then began to rapidly intensify by the time it came within 200 miles of the coast of Catanduanes, due to the lowering of wind shear and increasing ocean heat content; all of which combined to counteract the upwelling.
Kammuri reached its peak intensity as a low-end category 4-equivalent typhoon on 07:00 UTC on December 2, and PAGASA reported that Kammuri had made its first landfall over Gubat, Sorsogon at 11:00 pm, 2 December, very shortly after reaching its peak intensity.
Moving in a generally westward direction, Kammuri weakened into a Category 3 after land interaction and developed a new eye, moving very close to the Bondoc Peninsula before making its third and fourth landfalls at 8:30 am PST over Torrijos, Marinduque and at 12:30 pm PST over Naujan, Oriental Mindoro, respectively.
Kammuri's structure then began to suffer, with wind shear tearing apart convection on the western portion of the storm as it weakened back into a tropical storm while drifting over the South China Sea.
Kammuri lost its inner rainbands and its low-level circulation center became exposed to high wind shear, causing the system to dissipate on December 6 with the JMA issuing its final advisory on the system.
At their 119th Climate Forum, PAGASA discussed the possible threat of Kammuri to the Philippines and the potential landfall of Kammuri in the Bicol Region during the 2019 Southeast Asian Games as a powerful typhoon.
On November 28, PAGASA stated in a press conference that appropriate measures and linkaging with the 2019 SEA Games organizers have been in place in preparation for the typhoon, such as storm chasers and mobile radars dispatched to competition venues in Metro Manila and Central Luzon.
Tropical Cyclone Warning Signals (TCWS) #1, 2 and 3 warnings were issued as the storm began to come close to Luzon on December 2.
Provinces such as Northern Samar, Samar, Eastern Samar and Biliran were raised to a TCWS #2 while Leyte and Southern Leyte only had a TCWS #2.
In the 12th severe weather bulletin issued by PAGASA on December 2, 2019, reported that prior to its first landfall, the southern eyewall of Typhoon Kammuri brought violent winds and intense rainfall over the neighboring province of Northern Samar.
Photos and video footage from the towns of Mapanas and Gamay, both located on Northern Samar's Pacific side, show severe flooding and high winds from the typhoon.
In Northern Samar, winds were reported to reach as up to 135 km/h (84 mph) with a total accumulated rainfall of 605.5 mm (23.8 inches) within the course of 24 hours on December 2.

On December 4, Northern Samar's Province Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC) recommended a state of calamity, and shortly after, it was raised in two towns: Catarman and Gamay.
Massive destruction along with widespread flooding, damaged houses, landslides and even weak communication signal prompted their local government to issue the state of calamity in the two towns.
224,171 individuals were affected by Kammuri (Tisoy) in Northern Samar, and based on post-disaster assessment, about 28,577 houses were damages while an additional 3,774 were washed out by extreme flooding.
Power outages were seen in many villages, and the Northern Samar Electric Cooperative stated that power supply would be restored in Catarman and nearby towns by Christmas Day, but other towns could still suffer from no power until after Christmas.
Moreover, Kammuri's rain bands extended to as far north as Cagayan Valley, where, with the inclusion of the northeastern monsoon, saw one of the worst flooding in decades for the northern region.
There has been an estimated damages of ₱5.9 billion (US$116 million) to crops and agriculture and about ₱6.1 million (US$120 thousand) to relief efforts and assistance.
104 road sections and 3 bridges were damaged due to Kammuri, of which 19 road sections and 2 bridges were still considered impassable a week after landfall.

CDK13-related disorder, also known as congenital heart defects, dysmorphic facial features and intellectual developmental disorder (CHDFIDD), is a very rare autosomal dominant genetic condition characterised by congenital heart defects, intellectual disability and characteristic facial features.
CDK13 promotes expression of genes involved in various developmental processes, and these processes are disrupted or not completed when the gene is mutated.
The prognosis is not certain as of yet, due to the lack of known patients, however a few patients in mid-adulthood have been identified.
Patients typically have a characteristic facial appearance which includes a wide nasal bridge, widely-spaced eyes, upslanted eyelids, epicanthic folds, high-arched eyebrows, prominent, low-set ears, a flat nose tip and a small mouth with a small upper lip.
A few patients have had ear problems such as sensorineural hearing loss or recurrent ear infections, and a few individuals have had congenital spinal abnormalities including fused vertebrae or spina bifida, as well as scoliosis.
Specifically, this is through protein phosphorylation, which functions to turn off or on certain proteins, allowing cell differentiation and the progression of the normal developmental processes.
A mutation in one of the two copies of these genes results in some proteins not being formed correctly and therefore some developmental processes being disrupted or not completed.
The most commonly identified mutations are those that change the 842nd amino acid of the protein, an asparagine (Asn), to a serine (Ser) or an aspartic acid (Asp), but many others have been identified.
Different mutations, depending on how much they reduce the kinase functionality of the gene, have resulted in different severities of the syndrome.
Methods to detect the mutation include whole exome sequencing and panel testing, in which a selection of potential genes involved are sequenced.
The prognosis is not certain as of yet, as most of the individuals discovered and studied have been children, however a few patients in mid-adulthood have been identified.

Yamada Torajirō (, Hiragana: やまだ とらじろう; August 23, 1866 – February 13, 1957) was a Japanese businessman attributed to significantly improving Japan-Turkey relations along with Nakamura Kenjirō and Noda Shotarō.
He was one of the first Japanese people to convert to Islam and make the Hajj to Mecca, and he changed his name to Abd al-Khalil (), later changing it to Yamada Sōyū () after 1923.
He arrived in Istanbul in 1892, where he donated to the families of the victims of the sinking of the Ottoman frigate Ertuğrul.
Although he was not able to ensure Japanese political or economic interests in Istanbul, his activity was the beginning of a period of intensification of contact between the two countries.
Born in Edo in the residence of the Numata Domain (now Gunma Prefecture)'s daimyō, Yamada was the son of Nakamura Yūzaemon.
He studied the Japanese tea ceremony in schools in Edo and Yokohama as well as the Chinese, English, German and French languages.
Yamada participated in the campaign to help the victims' families, organized by the newspapers Osaka Asahi Shimbun, Tokyo Nichi Nichi Shimbun, Kobe Yushin Nippo, and Jiji Shimpo.
During this period, Yamada teamed up with Nakamura Kenjirō, a former naval officer from an Osaka family that traded clothing and fabrics.
On April 16th, at the suggestion of Foreign Minister Enomoto Takeaki, Yamada gave a lecture at the seminary of the Japanese Colonial Association (Shokuminkyōkai) on the Ottoman Empire and Egypt, reflecting Japan's new interest in expanding its trade network in the region.
Despite the fact that Japanese subjects had no legal status in the city due to the lack of official diplomatic relations between the Ottoman Empire and Japan, they received permission from the Ottoman government to run their business.
He also became a friend of Spirakis Alexandritis, the General Secretary of the Chamber and publisher of the Bulletin of the Oriental Directory, with whom Yamada continued to communicate even after his return to Japan decades later.
The Sultan and members of the Ottoman dynasty particularly valued Japanese-manufactured goods as well as Japanese household and decorative items, becoming important customers of the store.
Japanese products became a trend in Istanbul, partly because of the arrival of Japanophilia in Europe but also because of the growing admiration of Japan by the Turks.
He also translated Turkish plays that occurred during the month of Ramadan as Dağlı Kız (The Daughter of the Mountain), a story about the beautiful daughter of a mountain bandit who saves people from kidnapping, and Kıskançlık (Jealousy), a romantic comedy.
At the time, the Turks began to take a great interest in Japan, a country that had modernized quickly to compete with major European powers.
Yamada returned to Japan in 1914 due to the outbreak of the First World War, making his pilgrimage to Mecca on his return trip.
After witnessing the murder of his parents at age 8, Bruce travels the world in order to train to fight crime, returning to claim inheritance of his father's company.
Subsequently, he begins fighting crime in Gotham City as Batman, utilizing advanced technology in doing so and basing his persona on conquering his fear of bats.
Batman first appeared in DC Comics stories in 1939 as the writers were adding more costumed superhero characters for the company's lineup.
In 1966, following the success of the television series on ABC, 20th Century Fox released a film for the series, with Adam West reprising his role from the show as Batman.
After years of waning popularity and development hell for the character, Warner Bros. decided to develop a new Batman film in the mid 1980s, having recently adopted fellow DC Comics character Superman for film with a successful movie in 1978 and subsequent series.
Tim Burton was hired as director of the film, which was released in 1989 with Michael Keaton taking on the role of Batman.
Goyer said that the goal of the film was to get the audience to care for both Batman and Bruce Wayne.
Nolan did not have a problem with the studio's requirement that the film not be R-rated because he wanted to make the film that he wanted to see when 11 years old.
Nolan explained that by ignoring that idea – which he stated is not found in Batman's first appearances – it emphasized the importance of bats to Bruce and that becoming a superhero is a wholly original idea on his part.
It is for this reason Nolan believes other DC characters do not exist in the universe of his film; otherwise, Wayne's reasons for taking up costumed vigilantism would have been very different.
Before he was confirmed on September 11, 2003, having expressed interest in the role since Darren Aronofsky was planning his own film adaptation, Eion Bailey, Henry Cavill, Billy Crudup, Hugh Dancy, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joshua Jackson, Heath Ledger, David Boreanaz and Cillian Murphy took interest in it as well.
Amy Adams served as the casting reader for the casting of Bruce Wayne / Batman in a favor to the casting director.
Goyer stated that while some actors could play a great Bruce Wayne or a great Batman, Bale could portray both radically different personalities.
Bale described the part as playing four characters: the raging Batman persona; the shallow playboy façade Bruce uses to ward off suspicion; the vengeful young man; and the older, angrier Bruce who is discovering his purpose in life.
So it’s about feeling and a voice, and I think Christian’s voice was a big part of the impression he made in the test.
Despite his dark past and serious work, Bruce has displayed a sense of humor around his butler Alfred and a romantic side around his love-interest Rachel and later Miranda Tate and Selina Kyle.
Although possessing great hate and anger towards criminals, he has proven himself a very caring and selfless person, constantly putting his life on the line to save innocent lives and bringing the most dangerous criminals to justice for society's protection.
To the public, Bruce Wayne takes on the facade of an irresponsible, fun-seeking playboy in order to avoid suspicion of his alter-ego, while as Batman he reveals his dark, intimidating personality in the form of a bat to frighten the criminals he stands against, believing theatricality to help him seem more than a man, but a symbol.
Bruce Wayne's ultimate goal is to bring order and justice to Gotham City, as opposed to his foes, whose ultimate goal is to bring chaos and anarchy.
Batman is a highly skilled martial artist having been trained by the League of Shadows and Ra's al Ghul personally in ninjutsu and other martial arts, Batman has achieved such feats as single-handedly subduing a swat team and taking out a group of the league of shadows ninjas with minimal injury; even before his training with Ra's al Ghul.
He has proven himself exceptionally good at stealth being able to disappear in the middle of people's sentences and sneaking up on others unexpectedly.
With his vast wealth and company, Batman has access to some of the world's greatest equipment and technology to improve his performance.
Relying on intellect, detective skills, science and technology, wealth, physical prowess, and intimidation in his war on crime, Batman is a force greatly feared by Gotham's underworld.
As a child, he falls into a well on his parents' estate and is rescued by his father Thomas, but develops a crippling fear of bats after being swarmed by them during the incident.
Bruce tours a new monorail funded by his father, who explains that he nearly bankrupted his company Wayne Enterprises to build it in order to help out the city of Gotham, which was experiencing an economic downturn.
As his parents take him home, they are confronted by a mugger named Joe Chill who shoots them both dead, leaving a traumatized Bruce alone with his parents' bodies.
Bruce is comforted by police detective James Gordon as Chill is arrested, then raised at home by his parents' butler Alfred Pennyworth.
After growing up and attending Princeton University, Bruce is dissatisfied with his inheritance as it reminds him of his deceased parents and plans to kill the recently-paroled Joe Chill, but Chill is assassinated by mobster Carmine Falcone, denying Bruce his chance for revenge.
When he confides in his childhood friend Rachel Dawes about this, she expresses disgust and lectures him about the difference between justice and revenge, which motivates him to confront Falcone himself.
The mobster and his cronies laugh Bruce off, stating that he does not understand the criminal world, so Bruce leaves Gotham, exploring the world and working for criminal organizations to try and understand them.
After being arrested in China for a heist and engaging in a prison fight, Bruce is approached by a man named Henri Ducard, who invites Bruce to join the League of Shadows, an elite vigilante group.
Bruce trains with Ducard and the League at their secret headquarters in Bhutan and purges his fears, but later learns that the League intends to destroy Gotham, believing it to be beyond saving.
Bruce rejects the League's ideology and escapes, burning down the temple and killing their leader Ra's al Ghul in the process, but saving an unconscious Ducard.
Returning to Gotham with an intent to fight crime and finally overcoming his fear of bats, Bruce takes an interest in Wayne Enterprises, which is being taken public by the unscrupulous William Earle.
Company archivist Lucius Fox, a friend of Bruce's father, allows Bruce access to prototype defense technologies, including a protective bodysuit and a heavily armored vehicle, the Tumbler.
He reaches out to Rachel, now the city's assistant district attorney, and Gordon, one of the city's few honest cops, to aid him in his fight against crime.
Batman evades the police to get Rachel to safety, administering her the antidote and giving her a vial of it for Gordon and another for mass production.
At Bruce's birthday party, Ducard reappears and reveals himself to be the true Ra's al Ghul, with the other one being a decoy.
Having stolen a powerful microwave emitter from Wayne Enterprises, he plans to vaporize Gotham's water supply, rendering Crane's drug airborne and causing mass hysteria that will destroy the city.
Confronting Ra's on the monorail, as Gordon uses the Tumbler's cannons to destroy a section of the track, Batman refuses to kill Ra's but chooses not to save him, gliding from the train as it crashes, killing Ra's.
Bruce gains Rachel's respect and love, but she decides she cannot be with him now, telling him if Gotham should no longer need Batman, they can be together.
Batman becomes a public hero and Bruce reveals he has purchased a controlling stake in Wayne Enterprises, firing Earle and replacing him with Fox.
After the Joker and his thugs rob a mob-owned bank, multiple Batman impersonators interrupt a meeting between mobsters and the Scarecrow.
The real Batman shows up and subdues everyone, but injuries suffered during the confrontation leads him to design a new, more versatile suit of armor.
Batman and Lieutenant Gordon contemplate bringing new district attorney Harvey Dent in on their plan to eradicate the mob, and the possibility that Dent will become the hero to the people that Batman could not be.
The next day, Bruce Wayne, presumably due to his late night, ends up sleeping during a business proposal from a Chinese mobster account named Lau.
He later reveals that he deliberately allowed for Lau to come so he could get a closer look at his numbers, having already suspected that his business methods were dirty.
At the same time, Bruce and Harvey are both competing for the love of Rachel, despite the fact that she is dating Harvey.
Lau informs gang leaders that he had taken their money to Hong Kong to prevent the police and the district attorney from seizing it in an imminent bank raid.
In order to ensure there is nothing suspicious about his absence from Gotham when trying to retrieve Lau, Bruce proceeds to have the entire Gotham Ballet group accompany him to a yacht vacation near Hong Kong.
He then fakes not being able to arrive while Lucius Fox scouts Lau's office under the pretense of a business meeting with Lau, with Fox also proceeding to supply him with a blueprint of the layout of the building.
Later that night, Batman then proceeds to infiltrate the building and, despite the arrival of several cops under Lau's payroll, succeeds in nabbing the corrupt businessman, and also ensuring his escape with a Fulton surface-to-air recovery system and a cargo plane.
After Batman successfully abducts Lau in Hong Kong and delivers him to the Gotham City police, the mobsters agree to pay the Joker half of their money in return for killing Batman.
When the Joker began killing off public officials, including Commissioner Loeb and apparently Gordon, despite the best efforts of the police and Batman to stop him, Wayne decides to turn himself in to the police.
Before he could do so, Dent publicly admits to being the Batman to draw the Joker out of hiding for the real Batman to capture.
The Joker attempts to kill Dent during transport, but Gordon (who faked his death) and Batman intervene in time to stop and arrest him and deliver him to the Major Crimes Unit as Gordon is promoted to Commissioner by Mayor Anthony Garcia.
With the Joker in custody, Batman and Gordon at first believe that his madness is over, but become alarmed when informed that Dent has gone missing.
Desperate to find him, Batman interrogates the Joker until he reveals that Rachel and Dent have been taken to opposite sides of the city, far enough apart that Batman would not have time to save both of them.
Batman arrived and rescued Dent just as both buildings explode, although the left side of Dent's face is burned during the explosion.
In the hospital, Dent is driven to madness over the loss of Rachel, which he blames on Batman, Gordon and the Joker.
The Joker plants explosives on two ferries of evacuees and gave the passengers on board the chance to destroy the opposing vessel, one full of prison convicts and another with civilians, in order to save their own lives.
Batman tracks the Joker to an uncompleted skyscraper, preventing him from blowing up the ferries when both vessels' occupants decide they would rather not sacrifice the lives of the passengers in the other vessel for their own.
Following a brief hand-to-hand fight which ends when the Joker pinned Batman in a scaffold, Batman throws the Joker off of the scaffold but saves him by grappling him.
The Joker acknowledges that Batman really was incorruptible, but that Dent was not, and that he has unleashed Harvey's madness upon the city.
Two-Face proceeds to judge Batman, himself, and Gordon's son through the chance of a coin flip, which he saw as the only fairness left in the world.
Two-Face shoots Batman in the stomach and judges himself innocent, but before he can determine the boy's fate, Batman tackles him over the side of the building, saving Gordon's son, but injuring his leg in the process.
Batman convinces Gordon to let him take all the blame for Dent's murders in order to preserve the former district attorney's image as Gotham's hero and give the city hope.
8 years later, Dent is publicly hailed as a hero with his crimes covered up, and crime is down after the Dent Act was passed, leading to the arrests of 1,000 individuals connected to organized crime.
Bruce has not been in action as Batman since; he has become a social recluse after completing the rebuild of Wayne Manor, has developed medical issues since retiring as Batman, and continues to mourn Rachel, who he believes would have chosen him over Harvey.
In addition, Wayne Enterprises is losing money after Bruce discontinued his fusion reactor project when he learned that it could be weaponized.
During the anniversary of the Dent Act, the celebrations are held at Wayne Manor but Bruce only watches from a distance.
As this is happening a maid, later revealed as cat burglar Selina Kyle, is stealing Bruce's mother's pearl necklace from his private quarters.
Shortly afterward, Wayne is visited by police officer John Blake who tells him about an attack on James Gordon and the police force by Bane and his followers.
Blake also tells Bruce that he has deduced his secret identity as Batman and can also relate to him; Blake had also lost his parents at a young age, and has learned to hide his anger, similar to putting on a mask, and asks Bruce to return as Batman.
Bruce then meets with Lucius Fox regarding the future of Wayne Enterprises, and the two examine his equipment while fighting as Batman.
Simultaneously, Bane uses Bruce's stolen fingerprints to attack the Gotham Stock Exchange in a series of transactions that leaves Wayne bankrupt.
As a result, Batman resurfaces for the first time in eight years while intercepting Bane and his subordinates, but the police opt to pursue him rather than the criminals as Batman was still the accused murderer of Harvey Dent.
He finds Selina Kyle holding John Daggett, Wayne's business rival, hostage and sees a group of Bane's thugs making their way towards her to kill her.
Alfred is convinced that Wayne is not strong enough to fight Bane, and in a final attempt to dissuade him from returning to action as Batman, resigns as Bruce's butler and reveals Rachel's intent to marry Dent instead of him, to which Bruce dismisses him.
The next morning, Fox meets Bruce at Wayne Manor to tell him that not only is Bruce bankrupt, but Wayne Enterprises is losing money fast due to Bane's use of Wayne's fingerprints and that he needs to rely on Wayne Enterprises CEO Miranda Tate to prevent Daggett from gaining control of the company.
After examining the fusion reactor project, Tate agrees to accept guardianship of the Reactor and Wayne Enterprises as Bruce is forced to step down from the Board.
He then gets a lift by John Blake who he tells that anyone could be a hero, and the two discuss Bane's whereabouts.
The inmates tell Wayne the story of Ra's al Ghul's child, who was born and raised in the prison before escaping — the only prisoner to have done so.
Months later, Wayne escapes from the prison and returns to Gotham after Bane has taken over the city and caused chaos, turning Bruce's Reactor into a bomb.
With no way to stop the detonation, Batman uses his aerial craft, the Bat, to haul the bomb far over the bay, where it safely explodes.
Blake resigns from the GCPD and receives a parcel from Wayne leaving him the Batcave, his legal name is also revealed to be Robin.
In the film, Batman is portrayed fighting against the mobs of Gotham City in addition to other villains such as Deadshot and Scarecrow.
Despite claiming he could have portrayed the character better, Christian Bale's performance as Batman has received acclaim, and is generally ranked the finest among Batman actors.

Roughly speaking, the conjecture states that for any bipartite graph formula_1 and graph formula_2 on formula_3 vertices with average degree formula_4, there are at least formula_5 labeled copies of formula_1 in formula_2, up to a small error term.
The conjectured inequality can be interpreted as a statement that the density of copies of formula_1 in a graph is asymptotically minimized by a random graph, as one would expect a formula_9 fraction of possible subgraphs to be a copy of formula_1 if each edge exists with probability formula_11.
If formula_14 is a graph formula_2, this means that the probability of a uniform random mapping from formula_21 to formula_22 being a homomorphism is at least the product over each edge in formula_1 of the probability of that edge being mapped to an edge in formula_2.
This roughly means that a randomly chosen graph with fixed number of vertices and average degree has the minimum number of labeled copies of formula_1.
This is not a surprising conjecture because the right hand side of the inequality is the probability of the mapping being a homomorphism if each edge map is independent.
The natural extension to graphons would follow from the fact that every graphon is the limit point of some sequence of graphs.
The requirement that formula_1 is bipartite to have Sidorenko's property is necessary — if formula_14 is a bipartite graph, then formula_28 since formula_14 is triangle-free.
Since a graph is bipartite if and only if it has no odd cycles, this implies that the only possible graphs that can have Sidorenko's property are bipartite graphs.
This is equivalent because the number of homomorphisms from formula_38 to formula_2 is twice the number of edges in formula_2, and the inequality only needs to be checked when formula_14 is a graph as previously mentioned.
If the edge density formula_46 is fixed at formula_47, then the condition implies that the sequence of graphs is near the equality case in Sidorenko's property for every graph formula_1.
From Chung, Graham, and Wilson's 1989 paper about quasi-random graphs, it suffices for the formula_49 count to match what would be expected of a random graph (i.e.

The 1948 New Hampshire Wildcats football team was an American football team that represented the University of New Hampshire as a member of the Yankee Conference during the 1948 college football season.
In its third year under head coach Bill Glassford, the team compiled a 5–3 record (3–1 against conference opponents), outscoring opponents 155–103.
It consists of 26 teams that are divided geographically in two groups and play each other twice (home and away) during the season.
At the end of the season, the top two teams in the division are promoted to the Second Football League of Kosovo.
From the season 2019–20 the best seven clubs from each group of the previous season of the Liga e Dytë play in new formed and unique Second League while the other clubs have relegated into the new formed Third League.
Lyrically, frontman Jacoby Shaddix states that the song is about sticking with friends and loved ones during hard times in their lives.
The song was written around mental health awareness, with Shaddix elaborating that it was also about the power of music to connect with people to overcome adversity.
The song's music video plays into the themes as well, focusing on a fan that was affected by the band's music.
The video focuses around the band's long-time fan Mark Moreno, who had followed the band since their breakout in 2000, and had attended over 60 lives shows since then.
The band invite Moreno to a concert, thank him for his support, give him a plaque to honor his sister who had died in 2016, and awarded him two tickets for Papa Roach live shows for life.
In spectral graph theory, the Alon–Boppana bound provides a lower bound on the second-largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a formula_1-regular graph, meaning a graph in which every vertex has degree formula_1.
The reason for the interest in the second-largest eigenvalue is that the largest eigenvalue is guaranteed to be formula_1 due to formula_1-regularity, with the all-ones vector being the associated eigenvalue.
A theorem by Friedman shows that, for every formula_1 and formula_18 and for sufficiently large formula_7, a random formula_1-regular graph formula_5 on formula_7 vertices satisfies formula_23 as follows.
However, it is also true that the number of closed walks of length formula_86 starting at a fixed vertex formula_27 in a formula_1-regular graph is at least the number of such walks in an infinite formula_1-regular tree, because an infinite formula_1-regular tree can be used to cover the graph.
The musical output of that tour encouraged Kinney and the other members of Drivin N Cryin to move from a hard rock/Southern rock sound to a more folk rock style.
Denise Sullivan of AllMusic Guide gave the album a positive review for Kinney's songwriting and the editorial staff awarded the album 4.5 out of five stars.
7 October 1818, London – d. 24 March 1869, London) was a British watchmaker, shipbuilder and shipping magnate of Scottish origins, most famous for his business empire and his role in the founding of many of Hong Kong's early conglomerates such as HSBC.
Douglas Lapraik was born in London, England on 7 October 1818 to George Rankine Lapraik and his wife, Susan Lapraik (Black).
Though born in England, Lapraik's family was of Scottish origin, likely descended from the Lickprivick noble house of East Kilbride in the Shire of Lanark whose main holdings were Lickprivick Castle and, from the reign of Robert III in 1397, Lords of Killbride and owners of the relevant emoluments associated with the lordship.
George Rankine Lapraik was originally from Muirkirk, Ayrshire in western Scotland and worked as an expat in London for Scottish trading firm William Mathieson & Company.
Lapraik arrived in Macao in 1839 and became apprentice to a Scottish watch and clockmaker named Leonard Just at his company, Just & Son.
In 1942, Just sent Lapraik to Hong Kong in order to open a new branch of that company in the newly founded colony.
Lapraik arrived in the crown colony of Hong Kong in 1842 from Macao, following the cession of Hong Kong to the British Crown in perpetuity after the First Opium War the previous year.
Soon after arriving in the colony, Lapraik established himself with his own business as a watchmaker by 1846, apparently concurrently while executing similar duties for Just & Son.
Due to his trade in chronometers and watchmaking and given the need in the colony for shipping companies to register a local address, Lapraik soon found himself drafted as a shipping agent.
Lapraik became established as a wealthy Hong Kong Taipan during the 1850's and 60's, taking part in the founding of many of the colony's business ventures and expanding his business interests to many sectors of the colony's economy.
Starting in 1855 with its founding, Lapraik served on the committee of the colony's first English language public school, the St. Andrew's School which closed in 1861.
The tower, which stood at the corner of Pedder Street and Queen's Road Central, could be seen from Victoria Harbour and debuted on New Year's Eve 1862, standing until 1913.
In 1863, after acquiring a shipyard off Queen's Road and building two more at Aberdeen and Whampoa, Lapraik co-founded the Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock Company together with Jardine Matheson & Company and Thomas Sutherland, the Hong Kong agent of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company.
The resulting company also became the first limited company to be registered in Hong Kong, prompting the government to begin work on the Companies Ordinance of 1865.
In 1864, Lapraik went on to be appointed as a member of the provisional founders committee of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation which would be founded in 1865.
Later in 1864, Lapraik also oversaw the completion of his Gothic style mansion at Pok Fu Lam, dubbed as Douglas Castle and today known as Nazareth House, a university house of the University of Hong Kong.
plot, then known as Rural Building Lot 32 from the government for a period of 75 years in 1861 and had been building his home and base of operations at the castle since that time, though he would not long enjoy its use.
Lapraik was also a founding director of the Hongkong, Canton & Macao Steamboat Company which was incorporated as company number 0000002 in the Hong Kong Companies Registry in 1865 when the registry was also first formed.
1865 was also the year that Lapraik began his involvement as a founding Director in the Hongkong Hotel Company together with Englishman Charles Henri Maurice Bosman (father of Ho Fook and Robert Hotung), a Director of the Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock Company and a German, Baron Gustav von Overbeck, the Prussian and Austrian Consul in Hong Kong.
The company opened the Hongkong Hotel in 1868 on Pedder Street and Queen's Road, then the first luxury hotel in the city.
In 1855, Lapraik transferred all interest in his watchmaking company, Douglas Lapraik China to his colleague, George Falconer, with whom he had previously apprenticed in his youth at Just & Son.
After Lapraik's death, his nephew, John Steward Lapraik founded the Douglas Steamship Company in 1883 which continued to run Lapraik's steamer business and which also took up management of other assets owned by Douglas Lapraik & Company.
In 1867, Jane Lapraik, Lapraik's niece and sister of John Steward Lapraik was married in Hong Kong to Robert Ellis Baker.
John Steward Lapraik continued his uncle's business activities in Hong Kong until his death in 1893, having two children named John Douglas Lapraik (1866) and Thomas Steward Lapraik (1867) who also continued in the business.
Costs of the repairs in question exceeded the actual value of the ship, exacerbated by the debts accrued for wages and expenses owed.
Permission for the master to sell the ship would have taken up to four months to obtain from its American owners and there was no available financial options for the ship's master.
In 2019 Copa Perú, the club was promoted to the Peruvian Primera División after drawing with Carlos Stein in the Final group stage.
The peak was named to honor Canadian Army Private Douglas B. Eaton (1911-1944), from nearby Chilliwack, who was killed in action in World War II.
Nearby Eaton Creek and Eaton Lake were named in memory of his younger brother, William, also killed in action a year earlier.
Eaton Peak is related to the Chilliwack batholith, which intruded the region 26 to 29 million years ago after the major orogenic episodes in the region.
This is part of the Pemberton Volcanic Belt, an eroded volcanic belt that formed as a result of subduction of the Farallon Plate starting 29 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Range where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.
In the 1840s in California and 1850s in Australia, methods for extracting alluvial gold were developed which involved washing soil and gravel through sluice boxes using diverted streams and other water sources.
The cyanide process also involved releasing sediment contaminated with cyanide, while other sludge deposits have a variety of contaminants used in the mining process.
Large areas of land were affected by sludge, particularly in Victoria, where a Royal Commission was established in 1858-9 to investigate and manage the problem.
This resulted in a number of regulations and the construction of large stone-lined sludge channels to concentrate and divert the sludge away from settled areas and buildings.
Ultimately hydraulic sluicing was banned in 1904 as a result of the continuing environmental damage caused to waterways in places such as Omeo, and a Sludge Abatement Board was established to regulate and repair the problem..
He served as the head football coach at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (1978), Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio (1979–1980), Texas Southern University (1981–1983), Knoxville College in Knoxville, Tennessee (1991–1994), and Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia (1995).
In 1973, he became the first African American football coach to be named offensive coordinator at an NCAA Division I school.
The Apostolic Nunciature to São Tomé and Príncipe is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in São Tomé and Príncipe.
It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador.
The Holy See and São Tomé and Príncipe established diplomatic relations on 12 December 1984, and the Holy See established its Nunciature to São Tomé and Príncipe on 21 December 1984.
Ribbius became president of the Utrecht Female Student Association (1915) and board member of the Dutch Association of Women with Academic Training (1918).
After graduating, Ribbius moved to an Amsterdam guesthouse and started working as a volunteer at the Central Bureau for Social Advice.
After a study trip through Great Britain, where she came in contact with the Labor Party, she felt more for social democracy.
In 1932, thanks to her father's legacy, she was able to buy land in Bennekom, where she founded the De Born training center for working class women the following year.
Ribbius was elected a member of the Provincial States of Noord-Holland (1931-1941, 1946-1958) and appointed as a member of the Senate of the States General (1937-1947).
Ribbius kept in touch with the women's clubs at the time, and De Born was able to continue to operate as a private property.
In addition to re-joining the Provincial States, she became a member of the Provincial Executive of Noord-Holland (1946-1958) and was charged with, among other things, healthcare and spatial planning.
In 1956 she was a UN women's representative and went to the General Assembly of the United Nations to give a speech.
In April 1958 she was appointed as the first female member, alongside the Queen, of the Council of State (1958-1966), after which she settled in Scheveningen.
Cypress Creek Middle High School was established in 2017 in Wesley Chapel, Florida and was built to accommodate increasing enrollment and relieve overcrowding in the fast-growing area.
In building the facility, the district sought to alleviate potential concerns from parents by segregating the high school and middle school locker rooms.
A screen was also installed in the gymnasium to allow it to be divided for high school and middle school physical education classes.
However, high school and middle school students do share bus routes, as was already occurring in other schools in the district.
Students from four other high schools were rezoned to attend the new Cypress Creek, and adjustments were made to other boundaries.
As a result, middle school-age children in grades 6–8 share the facilities with high school students, pending the opening of the separate Cypress Creek Middle School in the fall of 2020 on an adjacent campus.
Once Cypress Creek Middle School opens, it will have a projected 1,554 students and the high school's enrollment is expected to be 2,080, almost its design capacity of 2,090.
When the school opened in 2017, its high school had grades 9-11 only, with no seniors on the football team in the first season.
It now has a full varsity sports program, including football, soccer, basketball for both boys and girls, track and field, swimming, and baseball.

Theodore A. Wright (September 20, 1901 – February 15, 1974) was an American football, basketball, and track coach and college athletics administrator.
The following year, he was the director of physical education at Lincoln High School in Kansas City, leading both his football and basketball teams to championships.
The Shandrinsky mammoth was discovered in 1974 at the feet of a steep slope in the eastern side of the Kondakov Plateau by geologist B. S. Rusanov of the Yakutsk Institute of Geology.
The Kondakov Plateau is located in eastern Yakutia, rising above the right banks of the lower course of the Indigirka and gradually decreasing in elevation to the east.
There are slightly higher ridges cutting across the plateau area, the Bonga-Taga ridge in the north and the Mokholukan in the south.
It is crossed by rivers Shandrin to the east and the Sundrun with some of its upper course tributaries, as well as by the Bolshaya Ercha River, a tributary of the Indigirka.
The Maly Ercha —tributary of the Bolshaya Ercha, the Keremesit, as well as the Okhotnya and Barn-Yuryakh —tributaries of the Sakhartymay, have their sources in the plateau.
Andesites and basalts are present in some exposed crust parts of the plateau, where the local type of agate with a parallel-layered pattern can also be found.
The surface of the uplands is markedly dissected by river valleys in which there are forests of larch and forest tundra, especially in the southern part.
The Kondakov Plateau area is part of the migration corridor of the Sundrun reindeer population, which includes the adjoining Suor Uyata to the southeast, and the forest tundra of the Rossokha River basin to the east.
She was a member of the Amsterdam City Council and was on the national board of the Association of Social Democratic Women's Clubs.
She was the daughter of Johanna Victoire Liotard (1831-1906) and Jan Willem Reinier Tilanus (1823-1914), professor of surgery at the University of Amsterdam.
Together with Mathilde Wibaut, Carry Pothuis-Smit and Henriëtte van der Mey, among others, she founded the Amsterdam Women's Club in 1905, later the Association of Social Democratic Women's Clubs (BSDVC).
Tilanus became secretary of the union and pleaded for a women's section in Het Volk in 1913, but that proved in vain.
She was on the council committee for public health assistance and worked for more practical homes, Montessori education, the introduction of consultations for infants and female inspectors in the vice police.
She died in Zeist on March 31, 1953, after which Het Vrije Volk praised her work for the socialist education of Dutch working class women.
Saleh has previously taught undergraduate and graduate courses on International Relations, Security Studies and Middle East Politics at Durham, Leeds, and Bradford Universities.
Saleh has also been engaged with policy practitioners and external professional bodies such as UK Ministry of Defence, NGOs and Think Tanks.
At its most fundamental level his research concentrates on exploring the evolution of the concept of security from its traditional ‘realist’ base through to more ‘broadened’ approaches which enable us to study societal security issues in the Middle East with a key focus being upon understanding Iran’s position in the region.
Currently he is working on a wider research programme with two other researchers examining the changing nature of politics within Egypt, and within this he is also focusing on his own project.
In summer 2013 he conducted fieldwork in Egypt, interviewing Egyptian politicians and party leaders, as well as a range of other key actors.
The project not only aims to contextualise this process within Egypt but also to examine how it fits into broader political dynamics in the region and therefore how it will impact upon Iran.
Another book chapter titled: ‘The Struggle for Power and the 'Secular-Islamist' Binary in Post-Mubarak Egypt’ is published by Edinburgh University Press.
This central theme has also led to an interest in processes of state-building and the construction of nationalism and national identity (in the Middle East) during the 20th Century.
This work focuses on the tensions and interactions present between nationalist discourses around identity and Islamic discourses around identity, which have been ideologically entwined with the state-building process in Iran since 1925.
Further research on Iran examines Iranian discourses on human rights since the revolution of 1979 and this has resulted in his recent submission of a book chapter entitled: ‘Iranian Conservatives and the Diffusion of the International Norm of Human Rights in the Post-2009 Era’ to the Edinburgh University Press.
His work thus explores how these state-level security issues transfer up to the sub-regional and international levels as state-state relations in the region are increasingly affected by these ostensibly domestic issues.
1981–82 was Jim McLaughlin's eighth season as manager, and was Dundalk's 56th consecutive season in the top tier of Irish football.
The new season opened with the President's Cup, and Dundalk defeated Athlone 4–3 on aggregate to win it for the third season in a row.
The League schedule commenced on 10 September 1981, using a trial point system of 4 for an away win, 3 for a home win, 2 for an away draw, and 1 for a home draw.
Dundalk started with five victories but, after they drew Tottenham Hotspur in the Second round of the Cup Winners' Cup, there was a wobble in League form with all eyes at Oriel Park on the upcoming glamour tie.
They fell 10-points behind Bohemians, but subsequently charged to the title, sealing it on the final day away to defending champions Athlone.
But it was Bohemians that came out of a four match, seven and a half hour FAI Cup semi-final marathon, depriving McLaughlin of a shot at a second League and Cup Double.
In the first round they drew Fram, and won through 5–2 on aggregate, with what remains their record victory in Europe – a 4–0 win in Oriel Park.
In the second round, McLaughlin's unbeaten record in Europe at Oriel reached eight matches, when Tottenham Hotspur were held to a 1–1 draw.
The 2019 Yau Tsim Mong District Council election was held on 24 November 2019 to elect all 20 members to the Yau Tsim Mong District Council.
The pro-Beijing parties suffered major setbacks in the election amid the massive pro-democracy protests, while a pro-democracy local political group Community March emerged as the largest party in the council with the pro-democrats controlling the council for the first time.
Pavle Kengelac studied at the Evangelical Lyceum in Bratislava and Kežmarok where his professors were philosophers and scholars Ján Juraj Strečko,mathematician and physicist Stefan Sabeland historian Stefan Fabri.
That Protestant school nurtured religious tolerance and offered a broad cameralist education as well the study of Latin, German, Hungarian and Slaveno-Serbian (Russian Slavonic) languages, grammar, rhetorics, mathematics, physics, natural science, geography, history, and philosophy.
One of the few intellectuals of his day, the Serbian Archimandrite of the Sveti Đurađ monastery, then part of the Habsburg Empire, Pavle Kengelac, adhered to the ideology of enlightenment and deism as the prevailing philosophy of the 18th century.
This movement resulted from the intensive study of nature and its phenomena, so it included a broad circle of scientists of that time and acquired a very broad range of followers.
One of the many reasons for that was insidiousness and personal animosity of the mentioned Metropolitan towards the man who wanted 'to be recognized'; even more important reasons were the activities of the conservative top circles of the Austrian state administration and of the Vienna Court itself, as well as the Metropolitan Stratimirović's fear to arouse anger in these circles and fall into disgrace himself.
TPC Group, previously known as Texas Petrochemicals, is a petrochemicals manufacturing company based in Houston, Texas, and is a large producer of butadiene, MTBE, and polyisobutylene.
In 2011, TPC led the market in butadiene (35% market share), butene-1 (35% market share), polyisobutylene (PIB) (60% market share), and was near the top of the market in both isobutylenes and propylene derivatives.
The Houston plant was authorized in 1942 as part of the United States Rubber Reserve Program , and opened in 1944 operated by Sinclair Rubber.
It was subsequently purchased by a joint venture of Tenneco and FMC Corporation in 1955 and later by the chemical brokerage Texas Olefins in 1984 .
In 2003, a collapse of the MTBE market forced Texas Petrochemicals (now employee owned via a LBO) into bankruptcy .The company emerged from bankruptcy under new ownership in 2004 .
The Port Neches, Texas plant - also authorized by Rubber Reserve - opened in 1943 operated by Neches Butane Products Company.
It was purchased by Texaco in 1980, and later it was purchased by Huntsman Corporation in 1994, then purchased by Texas Petrochemicals in 2006.
TPC Group was taken private in 2012 by First Reserve Corporation and SK Capital Partners, in a deal worth approximately $850 million, after a bidding war with Innospec.
A processing unit at TPC's Port Neches butadiene manufacturing plant exploded on Wednesday, November 27, 2019, the eve of Thanksgiving Day.
Hetzer was born as the daughter of the entrepreneur Siegfried Hetzer, who had founded a Victoria vehicle trade in Berlin in 1919 and had been operating as Opel car dealership since 1933.
At the age of 31, Hetzer took over the company based in Berlin-Charlottenburg in 1969 after the death of her three-year-older sister and her father, which made her one of the largest car dealerships in Berlin and managed until 2012.
As one of the few successful female entrepreneurs in her industry and as a racing driver, but also through her social commitment, Hetzer was one of the best known personalities in Berlin's economy.
The high media presence through newspaper reports, interviews and talk show appearances also made Berlin beyond the point that she was widely in the spotlight.
On 27 July 2014, she embarked on a voyage around the world in Berlin, following in the footsteps of Clärenore Stinnes with a Hudson Greater Eight from 1930.
The Berliner Patrik Heinrichs replaced him as a passenger from Istanbul, but in turn rose from the project on 18 September 2014 in Tashkent.
After transferring to the Americas she drove through Canada and reached the border with the United States at Emerson at the end of August 2015.
She drove on through the US and South America and reached after the Atlantic transfer in August 2016 in South Africa.
After a tour of several countries in southern Africa, she returned to Europe with a cargo ship from South Africa, about 2 ½ years after the start.
On March 12, 2017, she finished her trip to Berlin and was greeted in front of the Brandenburg Gate by friends, fans and the Berlin State Secretary Sawsan Chebli.
For her social engagement, for example for Ein Herz für Kinder, she was honored in 2007 by the Technical University Berlin with the name of an orchid from the genus Phalaenopsis.
In the summer of 2004, Hetzer was in Berlin and was a bearer of the Olympic torch on its way to the games in Athens.
Her statement refers to a surveillance video in which four dark-skinned South Africans stole their navigation system from the locked vintage car.
Furthermore, in Cape Town the golden Berlin bear had been ripped off her neck by a black man and her car was completely vacated in St. Lucia.
The presenter of the morning magazine, Jana Pareigis, also commented on Facebook on the incident and condemned the statements as false, racially stereotyped and hurtful.
Ethnic Identity and the State in Iran is a 2013 book by Alam Saleh in which the author examines inter-ethnic tension and the politicization of ethnic identity in Iran.
The book uses an innovative framework combining insights from the Copenhagen School of Security Studies and the literature on ethnic conflict to provide insights into the identity and sense of discrimination and deprivation felt by the major ethnic groups of Iran, namely: the Azeris, Kurds, Arabs, Baluchis, and Turkmen.
In so doing, the book uses political science methodologies to explore the roots of Iran’s current political and societal issues, not just those which affect the minorities but those which directly impact on wider political decision-making and public life at every level of society.

For the onset of intestinal bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn's disease (CD) or Ulcerative colitis (UC), commensal enteric bacteria are generally required as a pathogenic factor.
The OmpW protein contains features similar to a bacterial TonB-linked outer membrane protein which allows the bacteria to increase its ability of iron or vitamin uptake in an environment where it lacks these variables.
OmpW may play a role in facilitating the organism's ability to uptake substrates that are important for commensal bacterial survival in the intestine.
The immunological finding of OmpW is an elevation of anti-OmpW IgA levels in some patients with Crohn's disease in comparison to these IgA levels in patients with ulcerative colitis or healthy subjects.
Marie Louise [Mascha] Oettli (11 June 1908 – 27 April 1997) was a Swiss socialist and trade unionist, engaged in feminist struggles.
Her mother, Natalie (Tata) Oettli-Kirpitschnikowa (1875-1966), the daughter of a well-known Russian teacher, had first been a teacher in Russia before coming to Switzerland to study medicine; she was a school doctor at the Glarisegg.
From high school, she became interested in politics and became a member of a school-aged youth movement where she became acquainted with the future Social Democrats Eugen Steinemann and Ruedi Schümperli.
Her struggle against Nazism with her German comrades from 1933 to 1934 was followed on her return to Switzerland from her membership of the Socialist Party of Switzerland.
She is secretary of the Union of Swiss Peasants from 1942 to 1947 and central secretary of the Socialist Party and Swiss Socialist Women from 1952 to 1970.
The creation of this center was due to two former students of the Walkmühle school (founded in 1922) and Mascha Oettli had chosen to be a student for his training: the couple René and Hanna Bertholet from Geneva had organized to give courses of political and educational formation.
Martin G. Cohn (sometimes credited as Marty Cohn) was an American film editor and film producer who worked on B-movie genre pictures in Hollywood from the 1910s through the 1940s.
He began working as a film editor in the early 1910s, although like most editors of that era, he was not credited onscreen for his efforts.
He was a founding member of the Society of Motion Picture Film Editors (a precursor to the Motion Picture Editors Guild) in 1937; early on, he served as treasurer.
In the 1930s, he began working as a producer on projects, although editing seems to have continued to be his primary focus.

Chile joined the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the founding branch of the World Bank Group, in December 31, 1945.
Chile was part of the original 44 member countries at the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference who signed its Articles of Agreement which pegged the world currencies to the dollar and established the IMF and the IBRD for short-term and long-term capital projects, respectively.
Chile joined other branches of the World Bank Group relatively soon after their creation, they joined the International Development Association (IDA) on December 30, 1960, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) on April 15, 1957, and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) the day it was established (April 12, 1988).
The exception is the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) which Chile joined on October 24, 1991, 25 years after its establishment.
As of their June 2019 report, the World Bank considers Chile an emerging market and developing economy, defined by an economy that is 30% or more dependent on a single-export commodity.
Almost immediately after a CIA-sponsored coup d'etat that deposed Salvador Allende and propped up the Military Dictatorship of Chile 1973-1990, a group of Chilean economists known as the Chicago Boys, as they were alumnus of the University of Chicago and Milton Friedman, published a study called El ladrillo.
2019 Chilean protests, where a 4 cent increase in metro fare expanded into an expression of general discontent towards growing economic inequality, such as high costs of living, stagnant wages and meager pensions.

Aging is often caused by the improvement of the average living level and living environment due to the development of science and medicine, increasing the life expectancy of the average, but it is also greatly affected by the decrease in the birth rate.
Entering an aged society in 2017, South Korea will see its aging population reach the fastest pace in the world, with the proportion of people aged 65 or older soaring to an unprecedented 47 percent in 2067.
On the other hand, the production age population is expected to plummet to below the elderly population, and Korea's total health and welfare spending will soar to 120.2 in 2067 and 102.4 in old age.
According to the World and Korea Population Forecast released by the National Statistical Office, Korea's population aged 65 or older will reach 37.0 percent in 2045, surpassing Japan's 36.7 percent.
The report is based on a comparative analysis of the U.N.'s World Population Outlook for 201 countries and the National Statistical Office's special estimate of the future population between 1967 and 2017.
South Korea's portion of the elderly population is projected to grow at the fastest pace in the world from 14.9 percent in 2019 to 46.5 percent in 2067.
As a result of the decrease in the marriage rate and the avoidance of multiple children, the existing research mainly suggests economic factors such as income, labor market conditions, socio-cultural factors including the changes in the values of education and gender roles, and policy factors of family and health policy.
Unlike in countries in Europe where fertility rates naturally fell below the level of population replacement due to industrialization and socio-cultural factors, Korea's birthrates fell sharply due to birth control policies.
In the early stages of industrialization, the decline in potential fertility was involved in raising the per capita income level by suppressing rapid population growth and achieving rapid economic growth.
As a result, the decline in population is likely to be greater than in other developed economies during the period of natural decline after industrialization.
Korea's birth control policy began in the 1960s and ended in the mid-1990s when birth rates fell significantly below the level of population replacement.
As a result, Korea's fertility rate has declined to about half from the end of the 1970s to about 1.5 at the end of the 1980s.
In the 2000s, when low birth rates began to become a problem, the government turned to the population policy, but the birth rate has declined at a more rapid rate than any other country, as the birth rate of advanced countries has declined as well as the exogenous birth rate.
On the other hand, Korea has a tendency to increase the proportion of adult males compared to other countries except for the Korean War during the 1950s, according to the traditional preferences of South Korea.
In developed countries, high-income countries, or Japan, where sex ratios are not much greater than in Korea, the rate of birthrates slowed more slowly.
This suggests that if the hysteresis effect of South Korean preference is gradually weakened and the gender ratio of male and female generations in the future is restored to balance, the negative effect on the falling birth rate may be offset.
As mentioned above, the housing price increase rate is an indicator used in the analysis of marriage or parenting costs in Korea.
In addition to the cost of marriage, analysis of the points that unmarried men and women pointed out as necessary for marriage policy revealed that the factors that make marriage difficult are youth unemployment, the disadvantages of marriage, workplace weddings, and long hours of work practices.
The biggest problem that happens when South Korea becomes older is that the satisfaction level of the lives of the elderly has become lower.
South Korea's poverty rate for senior citizens is serious among advanced countries, but the country has so far failed to properly prepare for the aging population.
It can be said that the problem of the exclusion of the elderly from the labor market is difficult to solve only through social respect and support for the elderly that has been carried out in the past.
While the number of elderly people is increasing, the total cost of raising the number of young children and the elderly to support every 100 people in Korea's production age is expected to soar from 37.6 in 2019 to 120.2 in 2067, the figure is expected to rise to the highest level in the world.
In particular, the number of people aged 65 or older who will be supported for every 100 people in the productive age group will surge five-fold from 20.4 in 2019 to 102.4 in 2067.
South Korea's best growth is expected to pick up around the world outlook also exceeded 100 costs and keep old age.
In the same period, the world's total maintenance is only to 2019, up from 53.2 million to 62.0, 2067 Old age support ratio is 2019 from 14.0 2067, rose to 30.2.
By median age is age to list in the order of the total population means a person's age in the center.
1.2 years old from Europe (42.5 years), a high level until next year, but it is by median age of our country, 14.6 years old will be higher than Europe (Also, 47.5 years old) in 2065.
By the median age of the world's population was 30.9 years old in 2020 from 38.2 years old will rise by 2065.
In general, people do not have income activities in their childhood, but they do not have access to learning activities under the care of their parents.
Focus on production and generate income until you retire from youth saving money for the future, living based on assets accumulated in the youth and the old age.
South Korea's aging society measures include strengthening the income security system for stable retirement, expanding the conditions for improving the quality of life of the elderly, seeking ways to utilize the manpower against the reduction of the available population, and taking the leap to an aging-friendly economy.
To relieve blind spots in public pensions, the government will expand women's pension entitlements and increase their participation in national pensions such as one-time and part-time special employment.
We will improve the financial system in preparation for long-term risks due to the safety assets of the elderly and expand the retirement preparation services so that they can prepare for their own retirement.
To improve the quality of life of the elderly, we will expand the conditions to improve the quality of life for the elderly.
Specifically, the process includes vitalizing the health mileage system, strengthening chronic disease management, expanding comprehensive nursing care and nursing services, strengthening long-term care insurance system quality management, and reinforcing hospice palliative care services.
The company plans to support active retirement by expanding social participation opportunities such as developing leisure culture tailored to the elderly and expanding participation in volunteer support.
We will create a safe living environment by expanding rental housing for the elderly, mandatory safety training for senior drivers, and reducing traffic accidents for elderly pedestrians through the establishment of elderly protection zones.
As the decrease in the number of people available for production began in earnest in 2016, we are devising measures to utilize women, middle-aged and foreign workers.
Women's employment will be activated by diversifying the form of work such as part-time work and strengthening the reemployment support system for career-breaking women.
We will strengthen the working base of middle-aged and older workers by spreading the wage peak system to establish the 60-year-old retirement age system and mandatory life support service.
In order to expand the recruitment of overseas talented individuals, especially in areas where there is a shortage of domestic specialists, we will provide opportunities for long-term employment and settlement, and establish a mid- to long-term immigration policy to utilize foreign workers.
Therefore, the 3rd basic plan aims to foster the industrial sectors such as medical care, tourism, and food related to the elderly, and to support the development of universal design and user-oriented elderly-friendly products.
Meanwhile, in order to cope with the reduction of school age population due to low birth rate, we will promote university structural reform, teacher training, and reschedule supply and demand plan.
In order to cope with the declining population in rural areas due to aging and urbanization, the government also proposes measures to revitalize return-to-home villages.
Finally, it plans to reform the national pension system and stabilize the income base of health insurance to manage the financial risk of social insurance.
For the efficient use of national finance, the government proposes measures to reorganize quasi-duplicate financial projects, expand revenue bases, and manage mid- to long-term financial risks.

In the early 1980s, the Chinese government relaxed bureaucratic control over resource allocation by allowing State-owned Enterprises (SOE) to produce and sell above-plan output at the market.
Rather than dismantling the plan immediately, reformers guaranteed a long-run dynamic process that would gradually increase the share of non-plan, market transactions in the economy and made the dual-track system into an unabashed transitional device.
Nonetheless, the uneasy coexistence of disparate elements of old (centrally planned) and new (market oriented) economic institutions and policies induce contradictions and weaknesses, all of which generated a skewing of opportunities for daoye to capture windfall profits by engaging such activities as speculation, profiteering, bribery and corruption.
Some are entirely innocent and even conducive, for they alleviated the shortage of some products and increased the market transactions in the dual-track system.
Much behavior represents a kind of mild corruption, with private traders’ buying goods at the fixed state price, usually through their connection to official employees, and reselling at a market price.
In China, however, under the criminal law in 1979, daoye would be put in prison as long as they increase prices when there is a supply shortage.
For example, a daoye would be considered guilty if he transported clothes from Guangdong Province to northern cities and resold at high prices.
Daoye phenomenon has been the subject of much controversy, reflecting a call to account for success and failure of China’s first decade reform.
Using techniques of questionable legality, these men and women, many of whom had been political prisoners during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and 70s, wrote an important chapter in China’s economic and political history following Beijing's decision in 1978 to loosen its reins on the economy.
But regardless of their machinations, it is the labor and hustle—and sometimes sleaze—of these businessmen, that accelerated the country’s economic transformation in the 1980s and 1990s.
China’s pre-reform economy, particularly with regard to heavy industrial development, rather closely followed the model of Soviet Union style command planning.
After the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was established in October 1949, the CCP gave overwhelming priority to channeling the maximum feasible investment into heavy industry.
Planners controlled a large volume of resources in the economy, particularly the scarcest and most vital inputs, and controlled the flow of those resources from producer to consumer through the process of price settings.
On the whole, therefore, the signals upon which economic actors based in this type of economy came from bureaucratic commands rather than market-responsive prices.
The command economy was an effective way to subordinate individual economic decision-making to the overall national development strategy of building China into industrial power.
But the substantial distortion in the price system and in resource allocation made the economy unable to realize the scale of economy and general equilibrium.
On the eve of economic reform, there is substantial evidence suggesting that China’s command economy was performing relatively poorly, which made China continuously sought a workable set of principles for decentralization.
Rather than dismantling the plan immediately, reformers guaranteed a long-run dynamic process that would gradually increase the share of non-plan, market transactions in the economy and made the dual-track system into an unabashed transitional device.
Nonetheless, the uneasy coexistence of disparate elements of old (centrally planned) and new (market oriented) economic institutions and policies induce contradictions and weaknesses, that is, price differences between plan and market, supply scarcity, institutional and administrative disorder, all of which generated a skewing of opportunities for daoye to capture windfall profits.
Short after the third Plenary Session of the Eleventh CCP Central Committee held in December 1978, the Chinese government relaxed bureaucratic control over resource allocation.
The July 1979 State Council allowed SOEs to sell above-plan products, giving birth to the second track – that is, the market – for the circulation and pricing of enterprise output.
At first, the market for goods that were subject to negotiated pricing was small and it did not have much influence.
In January and February 1985, official recognition caught up with concrete reality, and enterprises were formally given the right to transact outside plan goods at market determined prices.
In so doing, the government gave explicit definition to two separate spheres of economic activity, each marked by its own characteristic means of regulation.
The planned sector, with compulsory deliveries at state fixed prices, was to persist but its scope was clearly delineated and fixed in absolute terms.
The market sector, with freely determined prices, was to cover the remainder of the economy, and was to grow steadily as the economy grew.
Because nearly every good has more than one price, illicit income can be made merely by transforming the status of a good.
Anyone who can purchase a good at the low, state-set price and then sell at the higher market price derives substantial profit.
For example, during the mid-1980s, a standard medium-weight truck sold for a plan price of 20,000 RMB, and a market price around 35,000 RMB.
Illicit sale of a single truck in high demand by emerging peasant entrepreneurs would yield a profit of 15,000 RMB, about fifteen times the average annual urban wage.
In the early 1980s, private operators still depended mainly on state supply organs for the bulk of producer goods and consumer goods.
This was attributed in press report to the state units’ inadequate grasp of the importance of the private economy or lingering leftist attitudes (i.e., conservatives’ opposition to the policy of encouraging private business) and to feelings of solidarity with state retailers threatened by private competition.
The methods used against private business also indicate that in some cases state wholesalers discouraged individual buyers because their small orders were less convenient to handle than those of the larger state and collective buyers.
Even if a series of reforms in marketing worked to reduce the importance of state distribution agencies and to widen the supply avenues open to private business, private operators continued to be disadvantaged, though in another way, when obtaining supplies.
For example, in Hubei in 1983, over 95% of the goods sold by private retailers were bought from state commercial outlets and supply and marketing cooperatives.
In later years such complaint continued to appear, but they began to be far outnumbered by complaints that wholesalers took advantage of a seller’s market by charging high prices or demanding bribes and favors.
Such was the nature of this supply system, however, with its uneasy mesh of planned and market distribution, inadequate distribution arrangements and pressing demand, that the opportunities for profiteering, were immense.
Since 1984, China’s economic development had been overheated with the scale of investment increasing year by year and the excessive growth in consumption funds.
The high-speed economic growth, with GNP accelerated to a remarkable 11.5% annual rate between 1983 and 1988 , developed into a situation of double inflation of both vestment demand and consumption demand.
For four consecutive years, social demand had exceeded social supply, with the supply-demand difference ratio being expanding from 4.7% in 1983 to 13.6% in 1987.
Without the various institutional arrangements and supervisions under the dual-track system, a number of problems, including speculation, operating without a license, earning exorbitant profit, and manufacturing and selling counterfeit and fake commodities, had arisen that both demanded and defied solution.
As early as 1983 the central government had frequently issuance of bulletins bemoaning its inability to carry through with national construction projects.
In addition, a pattern of policy oscillation marked through the implementation of dual-track system, these policies shifted in ways that were unpredicted and disruptive to the economy.
excessive social demand, excessive industrial development speed, excessive issue of credit and currency, excessive price increase and disorder in the economy.
Most daoye started up their businesses by buying up goods in short supply, such as famous-brand wines and cigarettes, grain, fertilizer, televisions, even special-issue postage stamps, for resale at high price.
Many of these goods were transported from southern and coastal cities, where free market was more developed and commodities were in relatively ample supply, to the northern provinces and hinterland.
In Chengdu, for example, there was a regular cigarette market on the banks of the Jin River, where private vendors could buy top-brand cigarette at about twice as the state retail price.
In August 1987, this market was reported as handling two thousand cartons each day; one year later it was still going strong, and several private vendors said they always got their top-brand cigarettes there.
Private business in trades where supplies might be a problem, such as a tinsmith, a signmaker using plastics, and a chicken farmer requiring large amounts of feed, were run by former state employees or their relatives, and obtain their materials from former work units or from connections made when working there.
High demand for some goods provided amply opportunity for cadres in the state units who had power over those goods to profit from their positions.
The state unit or staff member could profit by selling not the commodities themselves but the stage-unit status that facilitated buying.
Many of the cases of illegal trading reported in the media involved individual businessmen using checks, identification, or letters of introduction from state or collective units.
Statistics showed that nearly 41 million people, accounting for 43% of the total labor force in the tertiary sector, participated in business activities related to the dual-track price structure by 1988.
The overall annual amount of the price differentials for commodities, bank loans, and foreign currencies between the planned and market sectors totaled 200 to 350 billion RMB, accounting for 20% to 30% state revenue that year.
As profiteer grew rampant, the issue was canvassed extensively in the national press as a campaign against speculation and profiteering was launched.
In fact, because of them the distribution for commodities are more blocked up, the time required for commodity distribution is longer, and prices are higher.
Enterprises and consumers have to bear heavier burdens, the order of the socialist market economy is destroyed, and the development of productivity is obstructed.
Beginning in the early 1990s, the government decided to eliminate the dual-track system, but managed to suggest that the way to do so was by a gradual shift to a market price system.
In sharp contrast to the tumultuous, and sometimes extremely unstable relationship during the Cold War, China and Russia normalized their relationship in the beginning of 1990s, largely based on tactical accommodation of each other’s interests.
After the dissolution of USSR in 1991, both Russia and China desired to find a path towards free-marketing and new ways of economic development.
Millions of Chinese people came to Russia, seeking business opportunities and wealth: the total value of trade increased from $3.9 billion dollars in 1991 to $5.86 billion dollars in 1992.
Besides official support and agreements, there were also several critical reasons and motivations for this sharp increase: due to the unbalanced economic development patterns in the Soviet era, the shortage of agricultural and light industrial products was a big problem at that time; on the other hand, Chinese individual business also was eager to find a new market.
To do transnational profiteer, daoye usually bought cheap light industrial products (like clothes and shoes) and food (such as candies) in China and take the train from Beijing to Moscow.
When the train entered Russia, they would sell their products to Russians in one station after another at a very high price.
They also would buy Russian products (typically, they were military products or fur) on the way back and sell them in China.
Firstly, the economic and political environment of Russia was chaotic and unfriendly to foreigners, which, together with the activity of gangs, violated the legal rights and security of Chinese people and companies: local Russian officials and police usually asked for bribes from Chinese businessmen and they did little to prevent business people from being robbed.
Secondly, many products sold to Russia, like down jackets and shoes, were pinchbeck and low-quality, which made Russians hostile to Chinese and Chinese products.
In 1975, Mou was sentenced to death for writing the essay, but the political shift following the end of the Cultural Revolution led to his being spared.
Mou went into business, just as hundreds of thousands of political prisoners and educated youth returned to cities took the same path in the early 1980s.
Since then, Mou built his reputation by barter deals that traded China’s low-cost goods and agricultural products for foreign capital, technology and high-priced foreign products.
His Beijing-based Land Economic Group, which is involved in barter trade, telecommunications, real estate and a host of manufacturing ventures, was once the sixth-largest (in asset size) private company in China.
That year, Mou hatched a plan to launch a series of satellites aboard Russian rockets, but his brainstorm came just as the Chinese government put the brakes on the country's overheating economy.
Mou arranged for a $75 million letter of credit from the Bank of China to import computers and then used it to finance the satellite launches.
Two satellites eventually were launched, but Land Group officials say Mou may actually have done little more than pay millions to put the company's name on them; the launches generated no significant revenue and Mou’s company fell more than $40 million in debt.
Daoye phenomenon has been the subject of much controversy, reflecting a call to account for success and failure of China’s first decade reform.
Using techniques of questionable legality, these men and women, many of whom had been political prisoners during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and 70s, wrote an important chapter in China’s economic and political history following Beijing's decision in 1978 to loosen its reins on the economy.
But regardless of their machinations, it is the labor and hustle—and sometimes sleaze—of these businessmen, that accelerated the country’s economic transformation in the 1980s and 1990s.
And some are the large-scale profiteering of high-level officials and their relatives, demanding from bribes and extortion in exchange for massive deals.
In China, however, under the criminal law in 1979, daoye would be put in prison as long as they increase prices when there is a supply shortage.
For example, a daoye would be considered guilty if he transported clothes from Guangdong Province to northern cities and made a profit.
The populace perspective about daoye is also ambivalent, paralleling a society changing so fast that various currents of hybridization and ambivalence overlapped.
In general, daoye were not respected since majority of them were seen to have made money through illegal or more accurately improper connections to official rather than through sound business decisions and investment.
More important, daoye nurtured a dramatic rise in levels of income inequality and a skewing of opportunities for upward social mobility.
They made profit from the dual-track price system, exploiting state assets which should have been the shared more widely with the public.
In this sense, daoye were seen to be involved in a zero-sum game with the rest of society since their gains were balanced by others’ losses.
While official profiteer guaodao was universally resented, profiteer had indeed become a common part-time money-raiser for virtually everyone in Chinese society who happened to know the right people at the right time.
During the process of extolling the virtue of getting rich, it was frequently unclear just which activities were legal and which were illegal.
Dayouth is an Arabic-derived term for a person who is apathetic or permissive with regards to unchaste behaviour by relatives or a spouse.
The term dayouth has historically held religious, legal and familial implications, depending on time and region, especially if a liaison results in pregnancy.
The term has also permeated into populations that have religious denominations with such explications (such as Islamic jurisprudence) or geographically adjacent populations where the term is in usage.
This ranges from criticism of its usage as an pejorative being suggestive of acceptance of vain paternalistic gender roles, stigmatization of sexuality or overprotective intrusive sexual gatekeeping within a household and thereby an approval of patronization, to acceptance of its usage in instances where there is an affront to modesty or the archetype of religiously inspired abstinence.
North West Hebephile Hunters are a paedophile hunting team based in the north of England who attempt to prevent child grooming or child sexual abuse.
The group places child decoys onto online platforms and wait for the offender to first of all make contact and then communicate sexually.
The team will then confront the offender, perform a citizen's arrest and discuss the evidence at hand, usually chat logs and explicit pictures sent to the decoy.
As performing a citizens arrest without good reason carries a charge of false imprisonment, care is always taken to ensure the guilty party is confronted.
The group hands the offender to the police along with documented evidence, which is then used to charge the suspect and in any subsequent court case.

His research in the fields of cell biology and biochemistry has significantly contributed to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the intracellular traffic within eukaryotic cells, more especially in the endolysosomal pathway.
Using innovative approaches such as phospholipid-specific antibodies and reconstituted cell-free systems, Jean Gruenberg and his colleagues were able to unravel several important mechanisms regulating the biogenesis and membrane dynamics of early and late endosomal compartments.
Jean Gruenberg and his family resides in Switzerland and he works at the University of Geneva as an emeritus professor in the Department of Biochemistry.
When he became an independent investigator, first at the EMBL and then at the University of Geneva, he continued this line of research and worked on the characterization of early and late endosomes, and identified a transport intermediate between these organelles known as the ECVs/MVBs (Early Carrier Vesicles / MultiVesicular Bodies).
A milestone discovery in the career of Jean Gruenberg was the identification and the characterization of an atypical inverted cone-shaped phospholipid, originally named lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA) and also known as bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP).
Using specific monoclonal antibodies, LBPA/BMP was shown to be enriched in intralumenal vesicles of late endosomes and to regulate the intracellular transport and homeostasis of cholesterol.

During the Mao period, most foreign companies halted their operations in China, though China remained connected to world economy through a limited scale of international trade.
Since 1978, China was again open to foreign investment and within two decades it became the largest recipient of foreign direct investment among developing countries.
While China’s acceptance of foreign investment is commonly associated with Deng Xiaoping’s policies, Chinese leaders including Mao Zedong and Hua Guofeng already acknowledged the need to import foreign capital and technology in the early 1970s.
However, female migrant workers who contributed to the growth through participation in the foreign-owned manufacturing sector had to work in poor conditions, with insufficient labor protection, and under restricted migration opportunities due to the hukou system.
Foreign direct investment basically did not exist, except for a very small number of foreign-owned companies which continued operation in China, like the Royal Dutch Shell.
During the Cultural Revolution, the concept of self-reliance was added with revolutionary values, with Learning from Dazhai in Agriculture and Learning from Daqing in Industry as two notable examples.
After assuming power in 1978, Deng Xiaoping prioritized the policy of attracting foreign investment, giving the term self-reliance a new meaning.
To justify this shift from the self-reliance principle in the Mao period, Deng directed the drafting of a party resolution that interpreted the history of the Chinese Communist Party after coming into power in 1949 and evaluated the role and achievements of Mao Zedong.
In regard to foreign economic relations, the resolution asserts that by adhering to the principle of self-reliance, the party overcame the wartime blockade from the Nationalist Party and Japanese army.
While the 1981 resolution was widely considered as Deng’s signifying the coming of the reform and opening up, political historians Frederick C. Teiwes and Warren Sun argue that Hua Guofeng, generally seen as a loyal follower of Mao Zedong, had already advocated some of the policies that Deng was to implement in the 1980s.
Even earlier in 1972, Mao himself approved the imports of goods that allowed further involvement in international trade in late 1970s.
Soon after Mao’s death, central leaders were generally committed to production-oriented policies and open to importing foreign technology for that purpose.
Before Deng assumed power, the reinterpretation of self-reliance and the policy to attract foreign investment and technology were already in place.
To accelerate the process of opening to foreign capital and technology, the Chinese government provided presential treatments to foreign direct investment.
What he found instead was the effects of state initiatives from central level in the penetration of foreign direct investment into rural China.
He identifies two reasons for the phenomenon: 1) the farmers and managers of township and village enterprises either had to pay too high a cost to lobby for their interests or had no formal channel to influence policy-making; and 2) they lack the incentives to engage in foreign trade because of state monopoly over external interactions and the use of foreign exchange.
Only after the state loosened the control over the use of the foreign currency earned through export did the rural elite make use of the low labor cost in the countryside, increase the amount of export, and import technology to improve the quality of production.
As seen from the above table, the initial increase in foreign direct investment was slow after Chinese government passed several laws in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Political scientist David Zweig argues that significant increases did not come until the changes in national policies in 1984 when the central leaders mobilized state organs to incentivize economic opening-up.
There was a steady rise in foreign direct investment in China in the second half of the 1980s until the Tiananmen Square protests, which briefly disrupted the growing trend.
Economist Barry Naughton identifies two other reasons for the surge after 1992: 1) the institutional foundations and preferential foreign direct investment policies that the party had been building and providing in the previous decade; and 2) a further opening of the sectors that foreign companies could participate, from mainly export manufacturing before 1992, to domestic marketplace like real estate afterwards.
In terms of location, Chinese leaders set up special economic zones to attract foreign investment since 1980, with the first four in Shenzhen, Zhuhai, and Shantou in Guangdong province and Xiamen in Fujian province.
In 1992, Chinese leaders furthered the process by setting up special economic zones in Pudong area in Shanghai and two dozen more in inner cities.
If successful , they could either set up more such zone or implement those policies in other parts of China; and if not, they could also contain the failure within the zone and keep control over the Chinese economy.
While the conservative fiction within the party drew comparison between special economic zones and foreign concessions in late Qing and Republic period, reformers considered the zones a sign of commitment to economic change.
While the economic development and urban landscape in the special economic zones symbolize the achievements of China’s economic policies since the late 1970s, the negative effects that the reform brought to Chinese society could also be found in the special economic zones..
Naughton notes that as investment from Korea and Japan focused on northeastern part of China, it may have had a stimulating effect on the otherwise declining economy in the region.
As the local production costs began to rise in the 1980s, manufactures started to relocate their production to the recently available special economic zones in China.
Naughton highlights the low transaction costs within the China circle as the key factor that facilitated the relocation of production to China and hence the inflow of capital.
As the Hong Kong and Taiwan owners brought capital, management methods, and technology to industrialize southern China, their factories also absorbed the labor force from rural countryside, leading the labor force in Guangdong and Fujian to nearly double from 1985 to 2001.
Historian Peter E. Hamilton argues that the role of Hong Kong was more than facilitating investment since 1978, but even before that, the local and American business interests in Hong Kong already attempted to engage with China economically through trade ventures and the distribution of international publications.
Their efforts paved the way for further challenging investment into China and convincing Chinese officials to adopt export-oriented policies in the 1980s.
While inequality had been a feature of the Mao period despite the Communist egalitarian rhetoric, the coming of foreign capital exacerbated and altered the form of inequality in the immediate post-Mao period.
As noted above, in attracting foreign investment the central and local governments often offered preferential treatments to foreign companies including the loosening of regulations.
One consequence of this rush for foreign investment is the abuse of labor protections in the special economic zones in China.
From the 1990s onwards there were notable fatal accidents in foreign-owned factories that were the result of poor working conditions and long working hours.
The most devastating incident was the Zhili Handicraft Factory fire in 1993 that killed 87 workers and injured 47, out of some 400 workers.
Since the 1980s, a large number of migrants from rural China has come to south China in search for factory jobs, often through the introduction of their relatives.
Most Hong Kong- or Taiwan-owned factories sub-contracted to make shoes, clothes, electronic appliances, or toys for American, European, or Japanese companies, and provided work opportunities to those migrants, mostly young women.
For the case of Zhili, the representatives of the Italian toy company initially agreed to compensate the victims, but eventually claimed that they had invested the money in school and the production of artificial limbs.
They were originally scheduled to take place in Azerbaijan in November 2020, but were brought forward after parliament was dissolved in December 2019.

AeroTal (Colombian Territorial Airlines, formerly as the Airlines El Llanero) was an Colombian airline based in the La Vanguardia Airport of Villavicencio.
Then, with the closure of the Avianca base in the town of Villavicencio, it was decided by the AeroTal board to expand their route chart and retake destinations abandoned by the rival company Avianca.
A year later, LAN Airlines Sud Aviation Caravelle aircraft were acquired by AeroTal to operate the busiest routes of the company in Arauca and Leticia.
When there was specific transport of cargo, international charter flights were made, which in turn made the possibility of replacing the DC-4 with larger planes to cover for the mass international routes it had at that current time.
It was also decided by the AeroTal company board to suspend operations in Leticia to use the new jets on trunk air routes.
Three years later, a fourth Sud Aviation Caravelle was incorporated to AeroTal's fleet to accommodate for the enormous demand for the trunk air routes.
Then in 1979 the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) authorized cargo flights to Miami, for which a Boeing 707 was acquired through Leasing.
The latter had been warned in a statement by Boeing, which mentioned problems with the ailerons and the rudder, leaks in the hydraulic and fuel system.
Then in 1983, there was a financial crisis in some banks and that caused AeroTal to suspend a lot of its operations to cease.
Also during that period there was a restructuring of AeroTal executives, and Avianca was requested to cover the airline's routes temporarily.
After the bankruptcy of AeroTal, irregularities were discovered in the operation of the company, as well as invalid procedures to take the aircraft to other countries.
In the year 1984, the president of the company, Hugo Salguero, presented a plan to the AeroTal company board to save the company.
The way to cover the old debts and supply the public needs was sought, since at that time Avianca had suspended its cargo flights to United States.
So by the end of the eighties all efforts to revive the company ended and the company was put to rest.

Muriel drew on his own life for material and completed four volumes of autobiography that relied heavily on his youth in Suffolk and Essex.
His biographies were reviewed as more readable than authoritative and his three works of London topography were an entertaining wander through London's history and lore.
His fiction encompassed the thriller as well as novels with more serious themes, at least two of which were banned in the Republic of Ireland.
His father and grandfather were both physicians in East Anglia, where the family had a long history that included a mayor of King's Lynn, an archdeacon of Norfolk, and a mayor of Cambridge.
Gertrude Woodthorpe enjoyed the story but noted the lack of a bibliography, the neglect of Eliot's novels, and the lack of quotation from her letters or journals.
In her review of Muriel's biography of Mary Delany (1940), from whose sister Anne, Muriel claimed descent, Woodthorpe found an account that did not paint Delany in as warm a light as her contemporary reputation suggested.
In the account of Temple Bar, for instance, Muriel used the device of a narrator talking to a U.S. Army sergeant as they walked from Temple Bar to St. Paul's Cathedral along the bomb-damaged streets.

If the rotation axis of the planet is not perpendicular to the orbit plane, the incidence of the Sun on each point of planet surface will change during the year, which is the main reason of existence of seasons.
Given the different Sun incidence in different positions in the orbit, it is necessary to define a standard point of the orbit of the planet, to define the planet position in the orbit at each moment of the year w.r.t such point; this point is called with several names: vernal equinox, spring equinox, March equinox, all equivalent, and named considering northern hemisphere seasons.
Orbit eccentricity causes the planet/Sun distance to change during the year: The higher is the eccentricity, the higher is the change; Sun rays intensity in various moments of they year changes as the planet/Sun distance changes.
Earth eccentricity is very low (0.0167 in a scale from 0 to 1.0000) , hence it does not affect so much temperature changes during the year.
Conventionally one year is divided in 4 seasons, hence their duration is different if the year duration in Earth days is different.

After years of internal and external strife, the Cambodian government is currently focusing its attention to rebuilding and renovating the national economy through grants and loans from multilateral sources like the International Monetary Fund.
In March 1994, the International Committee for the Reconstruction of Cambodia (ICORC) developed a comprehensive plan in effort to support Washington Consensus policy prescriptions.
In 1997 domestic political uncertainty following an alleged coup d’état halted IMF disbursements but resumed again in 1998 after the formation of a new government.
Since the 1990's there have been no active IMF loans, but Cambodian and IMF relations continue through Technical Assistant strategies and yearly Article IV reports.
In order to gain global economic recognition from the International Monetary Fund, Cambodia was required to make fiscal structural reforms that mimic the mechanisms of a liberal-market economy.
By December 1978, Cambodia was invaded by Vietnam who implemented Hun Sen, as the new leader of the People's Republic of Kampuchea, a former Khmer Rouge commander.
Currently, Cambodia once again is a constitutional monarchy in name but is ruled exclusively by the Coalition government controlled by Hun Sen.
The IMF approved the new policies and estimated a economic growth of 6 percent if the Cambodian government is committed to the policies.
IMF technical Assistance is help from world-class IMF economists who provide expertise and advice on macroeconomic policy issues, central banking, monetary and exchange rate policies, public financing, budgeting, tax policy and administration and statistics.
Cambodia's Ministry of Economy and Finance implementations of RMS has successfully completed 71 out of 86 RMS tax administration measures, and 15 remaining are in active progress.

It is named for the state stud farm of in Bilovodsk Raion of Luhansk Oblast in the easternmost part of Ukraine, where it was bred.
It shares its early history with the Russian Heavy Draught bred in Imperial Russia in the second half of the nineteenth century, and until after the Russian Revolution known as the Russian Ardennes; later development took place in Ukraine, where it received official recognition in 1999.
It was bred for draught work, but it is also reared for meat and particularly for mare's milk, of which it is a high-yielding producer.
The Novoolexandrian Draught initially developed as a sub-type of the Russian Ardennes (later named Russian Heavy Draught), and so shares its early history.
Selective breeding of what would become the Russian Ardennes began in the 1860s at the Petrovsky Agricultural and Forestry Academy in Moscow and at various stud farms including the historic at , in Bilovodsk Raion of Luhansk Oblast in the easternmost part of Ukraine.
From about this time, stallions of the Franco-Belgian Ardennais heavy horse were imported to the Russian Empire from Sweden in increasing numbers; between 1875 and 1915, their number grew from nine to almost six hundred.
As with other Russian horse breeds, the events of the First World War and the Russian Revolution caused a severe decline in numbers; in 1924, fewer than a hundred Russian Ardennes stallions remained.
Several breed lines had developed within the Russian Ardennes, of which the smallest was the Dibrivsky, from the stud farm of the same name at in Myrhorod Raion of Poltava Oblast.
In 1923 breeding stock of this line was moved to the stud farm of , which like the Derkulski Stud was in Bilovodsk Raion of Luhansk Oblast in eastern Ukraine.
Other horses of the same type were moved there from a collective at Mariupol, in Donetsk Oblast, in 1929, and selective breeding for a compact but powerful draught horse began.
Following the break-up of the Soviet Union and the independence of Ukraine, the Novoolexandrian Draught received official recognition from the Ministry of Agrarian Policy in November 1999.

In Russia, the Law for the Purpose of Protecting Children from Information Advocating for a Denial of Traditional Family Values was unanimously approved by the State Duma on 11 June 2013 (with just one MP abstaining—Ilya Ponomarev), and was signed into law by President Vladimir Putin on 30 June 2013.
The Russian government's stated purpose for the law is to protect children from being exposed to homosexuality—content presenting homosexuality as being a norm in society—under the argument that it contradicts traditional family values.
Businesses and organisations can also be forced to temporarily cease operations if convicted under the law, and foreigners may be arrested and detained for up to 15 days then deported, or fined up to 5,000 rubles and deported.
The Kremlin's backing of the law appealed to the Russian nationalist far-right, but gained broad support among the Russian people and the Russian Orthodox Church, as 50% of Russians are Russian-Orthodox.
The law was condemned by the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe (of which Russia is a member), by the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child and by human rights groups, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
The law was also condemned for leading to an increase in, and justification of, homophobic violence, while the implications of the law in relation to the then-upcoming Winter Olympics being hosted by Sochi were also cause for concern, as the Olympic Charter contains language explicitly barring various forms of discrimination.
In theory, these laws mainly apply to sex education courses, but they can also be applied to other parts of the school curriculum as well as to extracurricular activities and groups such as gay-straight alliances.
These explicit anti-LGBT curriculum laws can be found in 6 US states namely Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas.

His father, however, believed that he could only finance an education at a teacher's seminar, but Bergmann was able to take an entrance examination at the Kreuzschule with the intercession of the local priest, with whom he had had Latin lessons.
In September 1816 he got an engagement at the Royal Saxon Court Theatre in Dresden thanks to his beautiful tenor voice; the singer Miksch and the actor trained him further in their subjects.

Charles Gardiner (7 April 1915–1973) was a Scottish professional footballer who played in the Football League for Mansfield Town and Nottingham Forest.
When Max was five years old the Itzig family altered its surname to Samuel, as on 2 June 1888 the Royal Bromberg Regional Government granted the family's request.
He left primary education on Easter 1897 at the age of 14 and went to live and work with his elder brother James Samuel (1871–1933) in Güstrow (Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin) where the latter had opened a shoe business (Schuhwaarenhaus J. Samuel).
In Güstrow Max Samuel was educated in the trades of shoemaking and business and then also worked as a travelling salesman.
For example, in 1907 he invented a brush for maintaining suede shoes which was patented in Germany in 1926 and in the United States in 1931, as Max Samuel's business was export-oriented.
Max Samuel called in specialists to contribute their medical or orthopedic expertise for new inventions, such as Willi Sawitz (1893–1957), Joseph May or Paul Lengemann.
Later that year Max Samuel and Berta Geßner (1878–1937) married, and their children, Herbert Gerson (, transliterated ; 1907–1992) and Käte Gitel (; 1910–1987; later Kate), were born in Güstrow.
In 1916 he therefore rented a plot on Rostock's Friedrichstraße 28 in Rostock's neighbourhood and had his factory moved there, where, at the company's zenith, about 150 people were employed.
On 17 October 1918 Max Samuel attended as groomsman his cousin Gustav Schrubski's (1879–1971) wedding with Toska Gunkel (1884–1967) in Stettin.
At first the Samuels lived in a rented flat on Schröderstraße 20, as of 1919 they rented a flat in the house on Stephanstraße 8a on the corner of Schillerplatz.
Max Samuel and Richard Siegmann became friends, and when in October 1919 Samuel had a dangerous car accident Siegmann replaced him as managing director till his reconvalescence in November 1920.
On 11 April 1921 Samuel acquired from Gustav Adolf Reinbeck, lord of the manor of Röstenberg, as his home a which was erected in 1912 and designed by (1875–1945, suicide) for the professor of physiology (1879–1963).
Max Samuel did not really observe the sabbath rest and did not maintain a kosher diet, but diligently avoided snubbing feelings of those who did, such as his father-in-law Jakob Geßner (1848–1937).
However, he was very and authentically Jewish in appreciating and valuing human life, aiming to support, maintain, rescue, or protect it, he wanted to take away problems from humans so that they could truly live, thus he sanctified life, the highest Jewish value.
In religious matters he wanted to support the troubled Jewish congregation, which – having lost all its savings in the inflation between 1914 and 1924 as so many private people and charities – was brought back into solvency with his financial acumen.
In February 1923 Max Samuel succeeded Siegmund Bernhard (1846–1934) as chair of Rostock's Jewish congregation which was the largest in the contemporary two Mecklenburgs.
He wanted his children to be extensively educated, as he had left school at the age of 14 and did not want his children to experience that.
As his granddaughter Ruth Kaiser Nelson recalled – when he had time for himself, he enjoyed being engrossed in reading newspapers.
In 1930 he was elected a member of Mecklenburg-Schwerin's five-person state executive committee of the German State Party (DStP) which was the DDP's successor.
Occasionally joining them was Herbert Samuel's classmate and Greve's son (1908–1968), who was then member of the German central board of the Young Democrats (DDP's youth wing) and speaker of Rostock's General Students Committee.
He later, as a lawyer and Lower Saxon delegate to the Parliamentary Council co-authored the West German constitution, the Grundgesetz, and was elected into the Bundestag for the SPD, strongly advocating the West German Wiedergutmachung legislation.
As the chair of Mecklenburg-Schwerin's biggest Jewish congregation (counting about 350 souls), directly elected for the first time in 1923 and re-elected for the last time on 17 February 1937, he managed to combine the German members of more liberal western mainstream Jewish observance, among which were many of Mecklenburg's long-established families, with the newcomers from Poland and Russia who were of more traditional Jewish leaning.
Also the Mecklenburg-Schwerin , the 1764-founded Israelitische Landesgemeinde Mecklenburg-Schwerin, ILM (literally: Mecklenburg-Schwerin State[wide] Israelite Community), lost its status as an estate of the realm with semi-governmental authority thus needing constitutional reforms which started in 1924.
As part of the reforms, inspired by those of the , the members were directly, instead of indirectly, represented in the umbrella body by its new 14-person general assembly (), established in 1926.
Inspired by Erichson, Max Samuel helped finance the 1930 reprint of the Esther Scroll which was originally printed in the 1700s and acquired for the Rostock university library through then chief librarian Oluf Gerhard Tychsen (1734–1815).
Another circle of friends consisted of city councillor Fritz Dahse (1876–1931), Richard Siegmann, director of Rostock's trams (1898 to 1919, and again 1920 to 1935) and coalyard accountant Otto Wiechmann, who met at the Samuels' house to listen to sports programmes with Max on his radio.
On 7 March 1926 Max Samuel won eight votes over five in the general assembly in Schwerin to decide the transferral of ILM's chief rabbinate (; from 1910 to 1934 held by Silberstein, 1866-1935) and upper council from Schwerin in Mecklenburg to Rostock.
In 1926 the general assembly elected him a deputy of the upper council, which again elected him its president in 1930, succeeding Silberstein, and once more for a second term until 1938.
He was societally engaged via membership in the association of Rostock's University (, a booster club, from 1927 to 1933) and the fraternity of businesspeople (, from 1918 to 1933).
As head of the Rostock congregation Max Samuel called upon his fellow members to vote for Siegmann (Reich Party of the German Middle Class) in the elections for the Rostock city parliament on 13 November 1927.
Just before the Great Depression, the EMSA-Werke exported items from a catalogue of hundreds of shoes, shoe accessories, and orthopedic devices to stores in, among other countries, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Palestine, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
On 23 June 1930 Max Samuel changed his private business into a stock company, but all the shares remained his private possession.
When in Rome both incapable of Italian, Geßner with his education in classical languages was unable to make himself understood whereas the practical Max Samuel succeeded communicating with shop assistants by gestures and mimics.
Instead of firing staff, Max Samuel maintained the previous levels of employment and production, accumulating stocks and causing shrinking profits in 1931 and a net loss in 1932, the first ever recorded for EMSA, which Max Samuel compensated with reserve capital formed in earlier profitable years.
She was the daughter of the teacher and hazzan Jakob Geßner, who, as a widower, had lived with his daughter and her husband since 1906.
Thus she was still not considered worthy by old-established Mecklenburg Jews of manor-owning background, like the Samuels' neighbour Margarete Siegmann, née Salomon (1881–1943, Theresienstadt), wife of Richard Siegmann.
In 1932 Max Samuel employed as an unskilled office worker Richard's son Hans [John Bernard] Siegmann (1905–1992), who since 1923 had been unproductive and something like a perpetual student.
The Samuels' relations with Lutheran neighbours, such as the Senator Gustav Adolf Fuhrmann (1881–1960) and his family in Schillerplatz 9, who had moved there in the 1920s, were friendly.
Rubensohn (1893–1978), an SPD-member, was also a colleague in the board of directors of Rostock's Jewish congregation and in the Israelite Upper Council.
After the Nazis' seizure of power in 1933, during the first weeks after issuing the Reichstag Fire Decree on 28 February, they intimidated their actual and alleged opponents with temporary arrests.
Max Samuel's neighbour Rubensohn, who was warned by detective constable Meyer a few weeks after the Nazis came to power that he was in imminent danger because he was a social democrat (that is, a member of the SPD), fled with his son Eli Rubensohn and wife Alice, née Guggenheim, to her family in Basel and wrote a letter to Max Samuel on 18 March 1933.
In this letter he explained his flight and made clear his opinion that he had needed to flee due to being a social democrat, not due to being a Jew.
The government-imposed segregation of Jews, even where not provided by new anti-Semitic laws, was often performed with preëmptive obedience, and this excluded Max Samuel from the university booster club and the fraternity of businesspeople.
In April 1933 the Rostock tax office presented its demand for back taxes for the years 1927 and 1932, however, accelerating them for immediate execution and thus indicating how fast the treatment of Jewish taxpayers had changed.
At the same time his son-in-law Hermann Kaiser (1904–1992) was deprived of his attorney's certificate at the Berlin Kammergericht due to new anti-Semitic laws and joined the EMSA-Werke as Max Samuel's proxy agent and member of the company's supervisory board.
As president of the upper council he was concerned with the maintenance and protection of Jewish graveyards in Mecklenburg, where congregations – mostly due to the general rural exodus of Mecklenburgers since the 1870s – had ceased to exist.
The EMSA-Werke's audit report for 1934 reported that Max Samuel had given reichsmarks (ℛℳ) 19,000 in 'loans' which were to be written off, as they were meant to support fleeing Jewish Germans who would likely not be able to repay him.
Like other foreign-currency earning companies, the EMSA-Werke were obliged to provide the Nazi government with the convertible foreign exchange in return for inconvertible paper reichsmarks (ℛℳ).
In early 1934, Herbert, who was a graduate with a doctorate in law but – as a Jew – denied a career as a lawyer, had left Germany and was granted immigration to the United Kingdom on the grounds of investing and creating jobs in a poor area.
Max Samuel advised hundreds of people seeking consultation (sometimes ten per day) and helped them acquire foreign currencies or immigration papers to refuge countries.
Max Samuel reacted by running the EMSA-Werke on deteriorating machinery which he saw no point in replacing in view of the difficulties imposed by the Nazi government, and the factory building was also decaying.
On 30 and 31 August 1935, Max Samuel and ILM's syndic Richard Josephy visited many of Mecklenburg's Jewish congregations, especially all those recently dissolved or on the verge of dissolution, in order to collect all religious objects from defunct synagogues.
Max Samuel concluded from these visits to the congregations that their financial situations, like that of the ILM, were terrible and continuously deteriorating.
The congregations and their umbrella ILM were running out of money because dues had dropped to a third of their pre-1933 level.
So in 1935 the Upper Council had to increase ILM's religious tax, a surplus on the regular state income tax progressing with rising income, by 10 to 20 percent (also progressing).
In 1935 Max Samuel's engagement in the ILM, including its paperwork and correspondence by his staff in the EMSA-Werke, aroused criticism in the upper council from the deputy Max Marcus (1876–1945), a lawyer from Güstrow, reproaching Max Samuel for acting without authorisation and in contradiction to the principle of collegiality in the upper council, thus entering disputes about his leadership.
Marcus ended the disputes after Max Samuel, Richard Siegmann, and Richard Josephy presented their plan for how to continue the ILM's activity under financial and personal stress under the ongoing Nazi discrimination and combined their suggestions with their joint offer to resign if the general assembly would not agree.
Max Samuel further pleaded to the general assembly to vote for the ILM to apply for accession to the Prussian State(wide) Association of Jewish Congregations (), hoping for monetary support from the bigger and financially stronger Prussian umbrella body.
In November 1935, the upper council under Max Samuel fulfilled a request from Rubensohn by sending Torah scrolls from the dissolved Teterow congregation to Pardes Hanna for a new congregation there.
Later [1945 to 1950] Rubensohn (, transliterated ) became mayor of that town and a candidate for the 2nd Knesset running for the Progressives.
Also in November 1935 Käte travelled to Herbert and gave birth to her daughter Ruth in London, meaning she was born a British subject, the first Briton in the Samuel family.
On 7 December 1935 the Rostock tax office sent Käte an order to provide collateral funds amounting to ℛℳ 29,500, presuming that she and her husband's emigration was pending, in order to secure for the tax office the flight tax on capital.
On 12 January 1936 at ILM's general assembly in Güstrow, Max Samuel, as head of the upper council, gave a farewell address to his friend and neighbour Richard Siegmann, who was resigning from membership and presidency of ILM's general assembly after, with effect of 31 December 1935, the Rostock tram company had dismissed him as its chief executive.
On 6 April 1936 the ILM and the Prussian Landesverband agreed that the latter would contribute 20% to the ℛℳ 5,000 retirement grant of the chief rabbi's widow Helene Silberstein, née Weißbrem (1879–1952).
Since by corporate law (Handelsgesetzbuch § 248 in its version of 1936) employees could not simultaneously be in the supervisory board of their employer company, on 30 September 1936 Kaiser left the board and was succeeded by the Rostock lawyer Paul Bernhard (1883–1974).
The other members were Berta Samuel and the chairing Samson Kogel, Amsterdam, EMSA's central distributor abroad and a major creditor of the EMSA-Werke.
This is why these objects and archival matters are mostly preserved while so many Jews were murdered and their institutions destroyed by German anti-Semites and their helpers.
Seven months after her father had deceased, Berta died on 18 August 1937 from breast cancer, from which she had suffered since 1930 and which had been unsuccessfully treated among others in Marienbad.
Herbert returned to Rostock for the last time to attend her funeral in , during which he was under Gestapo surveillance.
On 30 April 1937 Max Samuel sold his villa on Schillerplatz to his EMSA-Werke for ℛℳ 80,000 (double the then usual price for premises of this size in this location), thus effectively tapping money from his company for his free disposal without losing his home.
However, he concealed this sale from the authorities by not registering it with the land registry, probably for good reasons, as the city of Rostock had had a right of preëmption on every piece of land in the area around the train station since the time of its urban development.
Also, Hermann Kaiser occasionally travelled abroad for the EMSA-Werke until at one point the German authorities tried to blackmail him by saying that they would deny the prolongation of his passport unless he would report about activities of other Germans travelling abroad and German exiles.
He said he would think it over and left Germany immediately, staying in various countries as long as visitor's visas would allow him until Herbert obtained a British entry permit for him.
In early summer 1937 Max Samuel travelled to Amsterdam, where he also met his son Herbert who persuaded him not to return to Germany.
Max Samuel then left Germany through Italy embarking in Genoa the Marnix van St. Aldegonde, debarking her in Southampton on 27 November 1937.
Käte concealed her father's and husband's emigration in order to prevent a pending flight tax on capital from becoming due by claiming that he would only visit, and that she and her daughter were still in Rostock.
Käte didn't want to leave Rostock, as she was worried about the future of the many Jewish employees of the EMSA-Werke.
She also helped the Lutheran Otto Heinrich Greve, hiring him on 1 September 1938 for the EMSA-Werke as a clerk after his dismissal as assessor from the public prosecution department (he had rejected to join the Nazi party) on 31 July, however, he had to leave by the end of September 1939, when the 'Arianisers' fired confidants of the actual Jewish owner and the Jewish employees.
On 5 September 1938 Käte took in her uncle Hermann Geßner, the medical doctor, and his wife Julie Stern (1875–1940), who had been given notice to vacate their flat in Nuremberg after Geßner had to shut down his medical practice following the Nazi government's revocation of approbations of Jewish physicians as of 5 August that year.
Also in August 1938 the Nazi government banned Jews from working as manufacturers' representatives, till then a loophole in the anti-Semitic vocational bans much used by Jews barred from other earlier jobs, and within three months the EMSA-Werke effectively lost their distribution networks in Germany and abroad, dramatically reducing sales.
In mid September a Berlin notary informed the Rostock police that Käte's imminent emigration was likely, and simultaneously asked them not to issue a passport for her unless she would pay his bill for a service provided in June.
Thus the police were made aware of this and began processing a file on not issuing her passport before she even applied for it.
According to Herbert, the family members in Wembley telegraphed her, explaining that her father was very ill and that they wanted her to see him.
But Kate worried about the family, Jewish friends, and employees to be left behind, and so Max Samuel sent EMSA's Danish and Norwegian representatives to his daughter to help her understand the gravity of the situation.
A few days later the notary sent a letter explaining that the bill had been paid so he would no longer object issuing her passport.
So soon after when Käte applied for her passport she received it and left with her daughter Ruth, arriving in Britain on 30 September 1938.
On 18 September 1938, after his previous plenipotentiary and son-in-law Hermann Kaiser had left for Britain by May, Max Samuel commissioned his proxy agent Dr. Paul Hoffmann (1896–1969), one of the clerks employed in the EMSA-Werke after they had been fired as Jews in the mid-1930s, to liquidate the EMSA-Werke.
Thus Hoffmann directed the EMSA-Werke and fulfilled the obligations of an executive, however, it remains unclear if he ever took action to liquidate since the anti-Semitic atrocities performed by the Nazi regime on 9 November 1938 (November Pogrom, aka Kristallnacht) accelerated the government-imposed dispossession of Jewish enterprises.
They had to live through the atrocities of Kristallnacht, when Hermann Geßner was arrested like tens of thousands of other Jewish German men in that night and on 11 November at 1 o'clock in the night he was committed with others to the in Neustrelitz.
Rostock's renowned author Walter Kempowski (1929–2007), then attending the conservatory on Schillerplatz, recalled that music records (Herbert was a passionate collector of Jazz records) lay in the front garden and curtains flew in the wind through the broken windows of the villa.
The Geßners returned to Nuremberg, where they found refuge in the Jewish home for the elderly led by his future second wife Selma Stern (1893–1975) from , a locality of today's Suhl.
On 11 February 1939 the Samuels in Britain obtained British residence permits for Hermann and Julie Geßner, but these were restricted to six months only.
According to the purchase contract of 3 May 1939 for the sequestered villa on Schillerplatz 10 it was then still uninhabited and had not yet been cleared of the Samuels' furniture and household items.
Among the Samuel family the three Kaisers were the first to find a new home in Britain, a house near Corporation Park, Blackburn, taking in Ilse Samuel and in the course of 1939 Hermann Kaiser's parents Simon Kaiser (1876–1950) and Fanny Wertheim (1875–1948) from , their other son Hugo, daughter-in-law Dinah and the latters' twin sons, while Herbert first stayed in London preparing the move of the company office.
Max Samuel first lived in a hotel in Blackburn until in 1939 he found a house on 2, Azalea Road to move in with Julie and Hermann Geßner, having arrived in Britain after a two day journey on 30 June 1939, first staying with the Kaisers.
Kate, her husband, and their daughter left in January 1940 for Tulsa, Oklahoma, receiving Affidavits of Support and Sponsorship by the Kaisers' relatives there.
Soon after, the German and Soviet invasion of Poland had been followed by the German occupation of much of western and central Europe and the Soviet occupation of much of eastern Europe.
Hugo Kaiser was interned and only released shortly before emigrating with his wife to Tulsa in May 1940, while Herbert Samuel was spared from internment on the grounds of his task as business manager and Max Samuel due to his bad heart condition.
On 16 May 1940 a fire broke out in the rooms of Lancashire Manufacturers Ltd. on the floor above the EMSA-works in the Paterson Street Mill premises, with Herbert and Max Samuel racing to help, fighting damages by leaking quench water with machinery and stocks of the EMSA-Works, while Hermann Geßner attended his dying wife at the Herbert's and Ilse's, then on Barker Lane.
Denaturalised, like about 250,000 other Jewish Germans, by a German decree issued on 25 November 1941, Max Samuel remained stateless until his death.
Max Samuel had five brothers and one sister, and their surname at birth was Itzig, but the family changed their name to Samuel when he was five years old.
After giving control of the shoe business to Max Samuel in 1906, Isidor 'James' Samuel (1871–1933) kept his 1905-founded rubber factory in Güstrow, which supplied rubber parts for the EMSA-Werke, and operated it until his death from diabetes.
James Samuel was active as the treasurer in Güstrow's Jewish congregation () and worked with his partner Paul Eggert, who took control of the factory after James' death.
In 1938 Max Samuel's sister Frieda (1886–1965) emigrated to Chile with her Dutch husband John Joseph Meibergen (1875–1958) and his sister Karoline (1877–1953), who was James Samuel's widow.
The brother Wilhelm 'William' Samuel (1876–1948), who had lived with his first wife Paula Dreyfus, their three sons, and his widowed mother Rosalie (1849–1934) in Cologne, later escaped with his sons to New York, where he remarried in 1946.
Before his marriage Max Samuel lived with his elder brother James and his wife Karoline Meibergen in their flat right above the shoe shop on Pferdemarkt 57 in Güstrow.
On 14 August 1906 Max Samuel and Berta Geßner (1878–1937) married in Halberstadt, whose Jewish community () formed a centre of Modern Orthodoxy, where at times her father Jakob Geßner (1848–1937) had served as the hazzan.
Jakob Geßner was a Bavarian teacher, long serving in Hammelburg, where Max Samuel, travelling as a salesman, got to know Berta.
Between Christmas 1936 and New Year 1937 they then visited family in Rostock and Berlin, where their families bought them real furniture with paper reichsmarks and exported it to furnish their recently found two-room flat in 139, Empire Court, Wembley.
From their first Blackburn home on Barker Lane they moved in 1943 with the Geßners to their last home on 73, Higher Croft Road in Lower Darwen.
They were naturalised as British subjects only in 1946, thus between 1941 and the end of the war they were stateless.
During the war Herbert and Ilse housed many refugees, three to seven at a time, and gave them funds and employment.
Although they suffered many difficulties, including Security Service (MI5) surveillance (1932 to 1951) due to Ilse's acquaintance to Germans who, once in British refuge, sided with the Soviet Union, Hitler's war ally in subjecting eastern Europe, they were glad to have escaped the Nazis.
Between 1959 and 1963 Ilse studied at Manchester's university Germanistics, philosophy and Russian, receiving a BA in 1962, adding comparative literature without MA in the end, then working as a teacher at Darwen Grammar School (1963 to 1973).
After the emigration of the Samuel family became obvious to the authorities, the tax office issued a flight tax demand amounting to ℛℳ 200,000, based on the ℛℳ 900,000 company value of the EMSA-Werke as estimated by the tax office in 1932.
On 3 January 1939 the Mecklenburg State Administration took the EMSA-Werke under custody, appointing auditor Karl Deutler as custodian commissioned to sell them in order to recover the tax demand.
On 21 January Deutler 'Aryanised' the EMSA-Werke stock company () by selling it to the EMSA-Werke limited partnership () the foundation of which had officially only been concluded on 17 April 1939.
Its new owners were two Rostock investors, department store owner Erich Voß and bank director Harry Helmers, who paid only ℛℳ 146,000 for the EMSA-Werke.
Voß and Helmers appointed Otto Schröder and manager Wilhelm Eder, a foreman of Max Samuel who was to meet Herbert in London in 1939, but never appeared, as executives with procuration.
On 10 July 1939 Voß and Helmers gave Eder a 10% share in the EMSA-Werke, only effective as of 9 January 1940, as confidants of Jewish businessmen were excluded from 'Aryanisations' probably due to suspicion that they would conceal a continued proprietorship of the previous Jewish owner.
Deutler also found an 'Aryaniser' for the villa, and on 3 May 1939 he signed a contract with the newly-founded (institute of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft for research in animal breeding), represented by its administrator Julius Ost, paying ℛℳ 70,000.
The contract would only become effective once the city waived its right of preëmption and once various Nazi authorities would confirm it, such as the authority rationing convertible foreign exchange () and the price control office (), established in 1935, dictating prices in order to repress the surging inflation caused by the Nazis' steady money printing.
The Rostock tax office was to be paid its tax demand against the EMSA-Werke, which since June 1933 partially secured by a mortgage of ℛℳ 50,000 on Max Samuel's private premises on Schillerplatz 10.
However, Deutler did not know that the villa was legally not under his custodianship, since its sale to the EMSA-Werke had not been registered in the land registry, so it still documented Max Samuel personally as the proprietor.
Once aware of this Deutler achieved his official appointment as custodian of the villa with effect of 24 July in order to fulfill the requirements of the purchase contract of 3 May.
After the tax office had confirmed its demand was fulfilled, its mortgage on the villa was cancelled on 22 April 1940 and the land registrar registered the Reich's Ministry for Nutrition and Agriculture, the legal representative of the institute for animal breeding, as proprietor of Schillerplatz 10.
The Soviet-appointed new pro-communist administration expropriated the absent Voß, who had fled Rostock before the Soviet invasion on 1 May 1945, and Helmers, who then followed Voß to the British zone.
In July 1945 the institute for animal breeding was ordered to evacuate the villa and the Rostock local branch of the Cultural Federation for Germany's democratic renewal moved in with the cultural office of the city and tenants in the attic flat.
In 1982, after lengthily searching, the West German August-Wilhelm Bründel, son of Paul Bründel, found Herbert Samuel in Lower Darwen in order to learn about the fate of the Samuels after they had left Rostock.
As a collector of information of historical interest on Rostock, then behind the Iron Curtain, Bründel shared copies of articles about the Samuels authored by Frank Schröder (1958–2014) with his fellow ex-Rostocker Herbert Samuel in December 1986.
Also, Ilse[marie] Sawitz (1912–2006), niece of Willi Sawitz, in Manchester, shared the articles of Schröder, then city archivist of Rostock, with the Samuels.
So Herbert Samuel came into contact with a group of activists in Rostock trying to reconstruct the events of the Nazi period beyond the doctrines of the communists, who unilaterally valorised their comrades as antifascist fighters.
The villa at Schillerplatz in Rostock was reacquired by Herbert Samuel via a restitution request, which was only possible after the end of the communist dictatorship in East Germany in 1989, as this allowed Schröder and his fellow activists to found an association for the research and presentation of Jewish history and culture in Rostock and then formalise their effort in June 1990.
Herbert Samuel and Schröder developed the idea of the Schillerplatz 10 villa becoming a home for this association after February 1991.
Then the Samuels envoyed Greve's eldest daughter Julia Asher-Greve to research on the Samuels' former homes and enterprises in Güstrow and Rostock.
Herbert Samuel decided to donate the villa in an effort towards reconciliation between Jews and others, as he explained to the attending Schröder and Prof. Dieter Neßelmann, Senator of finances of Rostock city between 1990 and 1997.
The daycare moved out and on 2 October 1991 the villa, named since, was dedicated to its new purpose as the Rostock Jewish Heritage Centre, a meeting place, cultural venue and research institute, run by the foundation.
On 7 July 1991 Herbert Samuel was compensated for the loss of the former EMSA-Werke at Friedrichstraße 28 with DM 200,000.
The book collection of Herbert and his wife Ilse, née Steinfeld (1911–1992), including books of his parents from Rostock (and of hers), was donated to the Max-Samuel-Haus after her death through Elsie Peel.
The first Samuel family members visiting the villa since its reopening as Max-Samuel-Haus were Ruth Kaiser Nelson and her niece Emily Kaiser in mid-August 1993.

He was a member of the German and Prussian parliament and the Weimar National Assembly representing the Social Democratic Party of Germany and the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany.
Cohn was born in Guttentag, Silesia, Kingdom of Prussia (Dobrodzień, Poland), the eleventh child of Bernhard Cohn (1827–1903) and Charlotte née Dresdner (1831–1908).
After two semesters he switched his studies to law and continued at the University of Greifswald, in Munich, and again in Berlin.
In 1897 he started to practise as a lawyer in Berlin and joined the law-office of Karl and Theodor Liebknecht in 1899; as a lawyer working in Berlin, Cohn also co-operated with Wolfgang Heine.
In 1909 he became a member of Berlin's city council for the Tiergarten district for the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD).
In World War I Cohn served as a guard in prisoner of war camps in Alsace, Guben, Lithuania, and Courland from April 1915 to June 1917; during this time he had his first significant contact with Eastern European Jewry.
When news about the Tel Aviv and Jaffa deportation reached Berlin, Cohn brought up the issue in the Reichstag on 7 May 1917.
Cohn joined the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD) in 1917 and was a member of the USPD delegation at the Stockholm Peace Conference of June 1917.
Along with Hugo Haase, Karl Kautsky, and Luise Zietz, he met Angelica Balabanoff and the Russian delegation on 3 July 1917.
On the night of 5 to 6 November, Adolph Joffe, the Russian ambassador in Berlin, rendered him about 1 million Mark and a 10.5 million Russian ruble mandate for a bank account at Mendelssohn & Co. After the delegation returned to Russia, Joffe claimed to have paid this money to the USPD to support the revolutionary activities and to purchase weapons.
While the leading USPD politicians Hugo Haase and Emil Barth denied the payment, Cohn admitted the receipt and regretted that he was not able yet to spend the complete sum to spread the idea of the revolution.
He explicitly denied receiving the money to acquire weapons; instead he had used most of the cash money to support employees of the embassy and Russian nationals in Germany.
Because he could not use the bank account for formal reasons (the Mendelssohn bank refused the mandate), only 50,000 Mark were used to support a socialist uprising in Germany.
Cohn also justified the receipt because the SPD had provided money to Russian socialists in the 1905 Russian Revolution in a similar way.
He was however criticised, also by socialist newspapers like Die Freiheit and Vorwärts, because his actions stood in contrast to a USPD party resolution, which ruled out the acceptance of foreign money for revolutionary purposes.
These payments led to the demission of Wilhelm Solf as German minister of foreign affairs, who refused further cooperation with the USPD.
Later on they were regularly used to discredit Cohn publicly—for instance the nationalist politician Karl Helfferich refused to answer any question asked by Cohn in a Reichstag investigatory committee.
From 1920 on, he represented Poale Zion in the Jewish community of Berlin, especially advocating the equal status of eastern european Jewish immigrants.
All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bibinagar (AIIMS Bibinagar) is a public medical school and hospital based in Bibinagar, Telangana, India, and one of the All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMSs).
While the act does not mention an AIIMS in Telangana, the central government has assured the government of Telangana in 2014 that it will consider such an institute in Telangana as well.
As early as July 2014, the government of Telangana has toyed with the idea of offering the yet-to-be-operational Bibinagar campus of Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) for establishing said AIIMS, a decision which was announced in January 2015.
In September 2016 a contradictory announcement was made, stating that the AIIMS was to be established at Bhongir instead, due to higher availability of land.
In February 2017, in the budget presentation for 2017–2018, the Minister of Finance Arun Jaitley announced two AIIMSs, in Jharkhand and Gujarat, but an institute in Telangana was not mentioned.
A week later, Jaitley rectified this and officially announced at the parliament that an AIIMS will be set in Telangana as well.
In April 2018, the central government has given an in-principle approval for the institute and the state government was asked to identify three of four possible locations for the AIIMS.
The state government offered the Bibinagar campus, and following an inspection visit the location was approved in July, under conditions that an additional 49-acre of land will be acquired and that some infrastructure improvements are made.
The land for the AIIMS was officially handed over to the central government in February 2019 and in May it was announced that classes will start in August, from the Bibinagar campus.
The institute became operational with the first batch of 50 MBBS students, which started in August 2019, one of the six AIIMSs to become operational in 2019.

The 1924 United States presidential election in Colorado took place on November 4, 1924, as part of the 1928 United States Presidential Election which was held throughout all contemporary forty-eight states.
Between 1896 and 1916, Colorado had been strongly Democratic-leaning due to that party’s adoption of free silver in this silver-mining state; however, in 1920 Warren G. Harding carried every county in the state.
In the following few years the Ku Klux Klan grew extremely rapidly in Colorado and by the time of the next election it was close to taking control of the state government.
The Klan was aided by structural problems in Colorado’s agriculture and fear of Catholicism embedded in Mexican immigration and the traditional Catholicism of the Hispanic south-central counties.
As it turned out, the strong economy ensured that incumbent President Coolidge would have little trouble carrying the state, despite the strong third-party candidacy of Wisconsin Senator Robert M. La Follette, who was opposed to the powerful Klan and struggled in the anti-Catholic High Plains.

Galina Plesner Werschenska (21 December 1906 – 2 December 1994) was a Russian-born Danish pianist who settled in Denmark in 1929.
In addition to performances throughout Denmark, she appeared in Norway, Sweden, Germany and Poland, frequently playing piano concertos under Danish and foreign conductors.
Born on 21 December 1906 in Saint Petersburg, Galina Werschenska was the daughter of the Polish physician Joseph Werschenski (died 1934) and his Russian wife.
When she was 12, on her own initiative she studied piano under Nadezhda Golubovskaya (1891–1975), first at Alexander Siloti's school, later at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory where she graduated with distinction in 1924.
Despite giving birth to her first child, thanks to her husband's support Werschenska managed to perform her first concert within a year.
She became acquainted with two of the country's leading pianists, Agnes Adler and Johanne Stockmarr, who treated her as an equal.
In the 1930s, she concentrated above all on chamber music, playing in various trios together with the cellist Louis Jensen and in a quintet with four strings from the Royal Orchestra.

NTS works in high-precision manufacturing of metal components for prototyping and low-volume production in the aerospace, medical, motorsport, and marine industries.
Beginning in 2014, NTS had a few sporadic wildcard entries in various rounds in the FIM Moto2 World Championship, primarily at the Japanese Grand Prix.
In 2016, NTS received approval from the FIM for their Manufacturer's License and entered full season entries in the Spanish CEV Moto2 European Championship.
The manufacturer achieved near immediate success in 2016, with their sole rider Alan Techer finishing 3rd in the championship with an identical results record to 2nd place finisher Tetsuta Nagashima, but losing out on countback through pole positions won.
After two years of relative success, NTS decided to abandon their CEV Moto2 programme in favour of a full-season effort in the Moto2 World Championship starting in 2018, partnering with Dutch racing team RW Racing GP.
The increased competition of the world championship proved more difficult, with the team only achieving 4 points finishes during the season, ultimately finishing 16th out of 18 entries and with NTS in last place of the manufacturer's standings.
The 2019 season also proved difficult, with the team only managing to better their record to 7 points finishes on the season, 15th out of 18 teams and again last place in the manufacturer's standings.
The Lengkong incident was an incident that occurred on 25 January 1946, where cadets from the newly formed Indonesian Military Academy and Japanese soldiers unexpectedly engaged in combat.
In the afternoon of 25 January 1946, a group of newly enrolled Indonesian Military Academy cadets in Tangerang led by Major Daan Mogot went to a Japanese base in Lengkong, in what is today South Tangerang, in order to discuss disarmament of the Japanese troops and acquire their weapons.
The negotiations, which began with the transfer of some Gurkha prisoners of war, initially went well and the cadets began collecting the weapons, when a shot was fired – the culprit was unknown, with an account describing one of the Gurkhas having accidentally fired the weapon and another describing one of the cadets' weapons firing on accident.
The dead cadets and officers were buried in a nearby forest, though they were later reburied on a plot of land near Tangerang's regimental headquarters, and the burial site is today known as the Cadet Heroes' Cemetery ().
A monument was erected at the site of the incident in 1993, and in 2005 Army Chief of Staff Ryamizard Ryacudu set 25 January, the date of the incident, as a commemoration day for the Military Academy.

In the story, Scott's efforts to court a new classmate hinge upon his ability to acquire access to streaming media, which his father, a lazy cable company technician, detests.
Fourth grader Scott Malkinson asks his father Clark, a technician for Park County Cable, if they can subscribe to the streaming service Disney+.
Clark rebukes him for again making this request, telling him that the cable television they have is sufficient, and that he is tired of the growing popularity of streaming media.
As Clark storms off to work, Scott, who has type 1 diabetes, realizes that the stress of his father's rant has caused his blood sugar to rise, and self-administers a shot of insulin.
At South Park Elementary, the fourth grade class learns that the newest student, a girl named Sophie Gray, also has diabetes.
As Scott's friends are always ridiculing him for having diabetes, Scott believes she is perfect for him, and declares that he is in love with her.
When the other boys also express an interest in her, Scott angrily resolves that he will not allow them to ruin this opportunity for him.
Despite the fact that business has been suffering in part because of customer complaints of slow service, Clark spends his day leisurely eating his lunch at the park, and going bowling.
When he arrives at the residence of Stephen and Linda Stotch 15 minutes after the end of a five-hour estimated service window, an irritated Stephen Stotch complains and threatens to quit cable in favor of streaming.
When Scott again asks his father for a Disney+ subscription for his date with Sophie, Clark again refuses, and contacts his coworkers to conspire to sabotage the streaming services in South Park, though he arranges to meet with them at some point during a four-hour window.
He also points out that the streaming services use the cable that they laid throughout the town, and says they should disrupt that infrastructure in order to show the townsfolk how much they still need them.
When Clark's coworkers agree, he delegates assignments to each of them, but says they should meet at a designated point sometime during a three-hour window.
This angers Clark, who repeatedly tells them that they should not make a practice of keeping appointments at the very end of windows several hours long, but Clark nonetheless continues this habit himself.
Scott buys a black market Disney+ login for his date with Sophie, but as Clark and his colleagues vandalize the cable lines running throughout town, Scott's account stops working.
Sophie suggests going to Jimmy Valmer's house, where their other classmates are gathered to watch the show, though Scott fears this may threaten his attempts to woo Sophie.
Sophie, however, informs Scott that having diabetes does not make her his girlfriend, as she is more than just that condition.

Helene Herzbrun (1921–1984) was an American artist who lived and worked within the art community in Washington, D.C. A student and friend of Jack Tworkov, she was a second-generation abstract expressionist who developed a personal style that set her apart from the Color School movement of her time.
After graduating from Hirsch High School in Chicago, she briefly attended Beloit College and subsequently the University of Chicago where she studied art and from which she obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in English.
In the early 1950s, now living in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, she studied at American University under Jack Tworkov, Robert Gates, and Joe Summerford, all of whom became colleagues and friends during her subsequent career.
Gates and Summerford were year-round instructors at the school while Tworkov taught there during the summer months between 1948 and 1951.
In 1952, during the last year of her studies at American University, Herzbrun participated in a group a group exhibition at the Whyte Gallery in Washington.
In 1954 she showed a small group of paintings in a suburban movie theater, an exhibition that was notable only in the review it drew from a local critic who called Herzbrun an outstanding artist.
She and a fellow student at American University originally came up with the idea for what became the first gallery in Washington to be collectively owned and run by local artists.
Between 1953 and 1958 Herzbrun managed American University's Watkins Gallery Thereafter she joined the art faculty at the university, beginning a career that lasted until her death in 1984.
The following year her paintings appeared in a three-person exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery in which almost all her paintings were either sold or reserved by collectors.
A year later the Poindexter Gallery gave her a solo show that resulted in the sale of a big painting to Lila Wallace for the Reader's Digest art collection.
In 1969, roughly at the midpoint of her career, Herzbrun expressed her dislike for the commercial requirements of a career in art.
The following year one of Herzbrun's paintings was included in a Baltimore Museum of Art exhibition that was intended to give a comprehensive overview of the Washington scene over the previous two decades.
Although she made collages for a time, the disease did not leave her and eventually brought about her death in 1984.
When a painting of hers was selected for the 23rd Biennial held at the Corcoran Gallery in 1953 critics commented on the circumstances—as noted above, she was the only local artist selected—but not on her style.
Regarding a three-person show at the Corcoran in 1959 this critic commented on Herzbrun's ability to establish the illusion of depth without employing graphical perspective.
During the following decade Herzbrun turned from painting on canvas to a printing technique called monotyping in which each sheet pulled was unique.
Beginning in 1981, after cancer and subsequent surgery prevented her from painting or making monotypes, she created collages for a time.
In 1958, after completing her studies and ending her service as head of the Watkins Gallery, Herzbrun joined faculty of American University as an art instructor.
After her death her husband, Philip, established the Helene M. Herzbrun Art Scholarship to provide financial support to art students selected by the art faculty.
Her father was Edward Eichenbaum (1894–1982), an architect known for designing 1920s movie palaces and for his skill at dramatic readings.
Her mother was Lillian Smith Eichenbaum (born about 1891, died 1969), a housewife and officer of the South Shore Women's Club.
In 1941 Herzbrun, then known as Helene Eichenbaum, was an artist and member of the Ida Noyes Council at the University of Chicago, an organization that staged the university's annual student art show.
Herzbrun wrote her friend Tworkov that when she provoked the divorce, McKinsey was nice about it and there were few recriminations.
The ceremony, which took place in Moorefield, West Virginia, drew attention as the first civil ceremony ever performed in that state.
As noted above, Herzbrun was afflicted with cancer in 1981, underwent surgery, and, on March 14, 1984, succumbed to the disease.
If she had a middle name, it was either Ruth, as shown on the transcribed birth certificate, or Marie, as given in a legal notice from her estate in 1983 and on the West Virginia wedding registry.

Totila is an opera by Giovanni Legrenzi, written in 1677 to a libretto by Matteo Noris and first performed at the Teatro Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Venice.
The action is set in the Gothic Wars and is based on the conflict between king Totila of the Ostrogoths and the Byzantine general Belisarius.
In reality Totila sacked Rome twice, in 546 and again in 550 but the libretto is not specific about whether the action is meant to take place in either of these two events or in an amalgam of them.
In the first act, set in Rome under siege, Clelia, wife of the consul Publicola, plans to resist Vitige and shows that she is willing to kill her in order not to fall into the hands of the Goths, she is willing to kill her sleeping child to prevent him falling into the hands of the invaders.
Marzia throws herself from a window and falls into the arms of Totila, who falls in love with her and has her father senator Servius arrested.
A comic interlude follows in which the servant Desbo mistakenly informs Publicola that Clelia is dead; he then loses his mind and rails against poor Desbo, who tries to defend herself.
Clelia, meanwhile, has decided to offer herself to Vitige in return for her freedom, but he is moved to spare her.
The first act ends with spectacular stage effects as a trumpet sounds, a giant elephant opens, and Belisario, Lepido and Cinna come out.
When she rejects his advances her had her bound to the mast.The woman makes fun of Totila but, when he tries to kiss her, she rejects him.
Clelia, disguised as a soldier, challenges Vitige to a duel but he recognizes her and declares his love; again she rejects him.
Publicola and Desbo appear in another comic interlude: in his delusion Publicola mistakes Desbo for Narciso and tries to seduce him.
Clelia and Publicola reunite, while Belisario and Lepido declare themselves willing to renounce their love for Marzia, if Totila will become a vassal of Giustiniano.
Legrenzi’s writing for the opera has several noteworthy points, including the expression of jealousy through the juxtaposition of a constant bass overlapping with a slower-moving vocal line, and the use of trumpet arias as well as vocal imitations of them to reflect the military setting of the action.
Clelia’s conduct is unwaveringly moral; in contrast Marzia makes fun of Totila and mocks her own destiny, but eventually surrenders to both.

The Beacon Academy was founded in 2009 by architect Leandro Locsin Jr., son of the late National Artist of the Philippines for Architecture Leandro Locsin, and his wife Mailin Paterno-Locsin.
The school was established to serve as the high school extension of its sister school, the Beacon School, located along Chino Roces Avenue in Taguig.
According to Leandro Locsin Jr., the Beacon Academy aimed to continue the Beacon School's success of providing an internationally-recognized curriculum that would provide Filipino parents an option for their children to maximize their potential as national and global citizens.
Locsin added that its establishment was also a response to the rise of international schools in the country aiming to do the same.
Then Education Secretary Armin Luistro and then Biñan Mayor Marlyn Alonte-Naguiat were among the guests of honor during the school's opening rites.
Heavily surrounded by greenery, it is situated on land donated by the Locsin family, the same land where the De La Salle University Science and Technology Complex is situated on.
It is also near the Ayala Westgrove Heights subdivision in Silang, Cavite and the Nuvali mixed-use residential development in Calamba, Laguna.
The Beacon Academy has two two-storey buildings; the main building containing 11 state-of-the-art classrooms, including four laboratories, and the secondary building containing seven classrooms, including a music room and a visual arts studio, as well as an auditorium and a gallery.
The Beacon Academy's facilities also include an eight-lane Olympic-size swimming pool, a basketball court, a football pitch, a fitness room, and a climbing wall.
An average class size is between 12 to 15 but not more than 20, as the school emphasizes its desire to cater more effectively to its students in an environment of personalized learning.
Its faculty are secondary school teachers who have prior experience teaching in other secondary schools in the Philippines or abroad, some of whom also have experience teaching in colleges or universities.
The Beacon Academy's curriculum utilizes discussion-based learning as a form of independent study in order to foster critical thinking and collaborative skills amongst its students.
Its partnership with the Beacon School is the only educational institution in the Philippines accredited by the IB to offer their three main educational programs (IB Primary Years Programme, IB Middle Years Programme, and IB Diploma Programme).
The Beacon School offers the IB Primary Years Programme and the first three years of the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), while the Beacon Academy offers the last two years of MYP and the IB Diploma Programme (DP).
The school also participates in local and regional Model United Nations conferences and actively competes in the World Scholar's Cup internationally.

The Supreme Court held that someone who disseminates false statements to potential investors with the intent to defraud those investors can be held liable under subsection b of Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, even if they personally were not the ones who drafted the false statements.
Francis V. Lorenzo was the former director of investment banking at Charles Vista LLC, a broker-dealer in Staten Island, New York.
Lorenzo's only client at the time was a company called Waste2Energy Holdings Inc., a firm which claimed to be developing technology to transform solid waste into clean energy.
In early 2009, Lorenzo was tasked with attempting to sell $15 million worth of convertible debentures (debt securities) issued by Waste2Energy.
By October 2009, however, Waste2Energy had disclosed to the public and to Lorenzo that its intellectual property was worthless and that it had written off all of its intangible assets.
Despite this, Lorenzo continued attempting to sell the debentures on the market, sending emails to prospective investors which stated that the company had $10 million in 'confirmed assets', which would protect investors against losses.
According to Lorenzo, his boss at Charles Vista LLC had supplied the content of the emails and approved their dissemination to investors.
When Waste2Energy Holdings eventually collapsed and filed for bankruptcy in 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed an administrative case against Charles Vista, Lorenzo, and his former boss for violating section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b), and Rule 10b-5.
Charles Vista was also charged with violating the Exchange Act's Section 15(c) and rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Lorenzo's boss and Charles Vista agreed to settle the case, but Lorenzo himself went to trial before an administrative law judge at the SEC.
In the hearing, Lorenzo insisted that he simply cut-and-pasted language given to him by his boss and that, under existing Supreme Court precedent, he should not be held liable for merely passing on someone else's false statements.
The SEC administrative law judge who heard the case accepted Lorenzo's claim that he had sent the fraudulent emails without really reading them or thinking about the contents.
However, the administrative law judge still found that Lorenzo had willfully violated securities laws by making fraudulent misstatements and by participating in a scheme to defraud potential investors.
The full SEC affirmed the ALJ's decision but formally rejected his claim that he had sent the emails without reading them.
As allowed by the Securities Exchange Act, Lorenzo was permitted to appeal the Commission's ruling before either the DC Circuit Court of Appeals or the Circuit Court of Appeals in which he principally did business.
Lorenzo's appeal was first heard by a three-judge panel United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which comprised circuit judges Sri Srinivasan, Brett Kavanaugh, and Thomas Griffith.
Lorenzo's argument before the DC Circuit was that he could not be held liable for passing on false statements made by another person.
They affirmed Lorenzo's contention that his boss was the true 'maker' of the false statements since he was the one who asked Lorenzo to send the emails and was the one who supplied the content.
Because the court ruled against the SEC on the Rule 10b-5 subsection b ruling, it vacated the penalties levied against Lorenzo by the SEC and sent the case back to the Commission to reconsider Lorenzo's punishment in light of the ruling.
He stated the conduct described in Lorenzo's case may have been considered 'aiding and abetting' but that Lorenzo should not be considered a primary violator for passing along misstatements from his boss.
had limited the ability of private plaintiffs to file suit against secondary actors (accused aiders and abettors) in a fraud case.
Because he was on the DC Circuit panel which heard the original case, Justice Brett Kavanaugh recused himself from participating in this case.
Writing for a 6-2 majority, Justice Stephen Breyer found that the language in subsections a and c of Rule 10b-5 were sufficiently broad to encompass Lorenzo's dissemination of false information with the intent to defraud.
This decision is noteworthy because it expanded the scope of primary liability for securities fraud, which is controversial in the securities industry.

Jacques Bizet (10 July 1872 - 3 November 1922) was a French physician and businessman best known for his childhood friendship with the novelist Marcel Proust, whom he predeceased by fifteen days when he committed suicide.
His father's sudden and early death seems to have encouraged his particularly close attachment to his mother, who in 1886 remarried.
Geneviève Straus ran a lively literary salon, which helped to stave off the depression towards which she tended, and which her son seems to have inherited.
Running the salon meant that the boy came to know many of the Parisian artistic and literary celebrities of the day.
Georges Bizet was virtually unknown at the time of his death, but the posthumous success of his work, and in particular the huge success of his opera Carmen, meant that by the time he enrolled at an exclusive primary school that followed the curriculum created by Marie Pape-Carpantier, Jacques Bizet had become the son of a famous composer.
His cousin and contemporary Daniel Halévy started at the same school at the same time: he was a large child and soon established himself as the school bully.
In some ways all three boys had similar backgrounds: at a time when racial identity was rising up the socio-political agenda, they would all have been regarded as half-Jewish, but the parents of all three had nevertheless had them baptised into Christian churches.
The result in the immediate term seems to have been that, more than ever, Proust became a target of mocking, mistreatment and bullying by Bizet, Halévy and the gang that formed around them.
At one point Geneviève Straus became so exasperated by Proust's homoerotic fixation on her son and his cousin, that she refused to allow the gifted young writer admission to the that doubled as her family home.
Daniel's father, Ludovic Halévy, was a versatile author and dramatist whose fame among Parisian intellectuals at the time would have been quite as great as that of the composer Georges Bizet.
It is also more than possible that as a teenager Proust was already becoming aware of the extent to which he would be able to copy, adapt and incorporate physical, psychological and behavioural traits in his school contemporaries and their family members in future novels.
All the boys were destined to inhabit the same haute-bourgeois milieu of Parisian intellectuals: friendship between Marcel Proust and Jacques Bizet would endure.
Leading members of the twentieth century literary establishment were among the contributors, including Gaston Arman de Caillavet, Robert de Flers Daniel Halévy and Marcel Proust.
By the end of 1893, however, while still rebutting the unwanted advances of his friend Marcel Proust, Jacques Bizet had to some extent distanced himself from the literary scene and enrolled at the University of Paris as a medical student.
During his second and, as matters turned out, final student year he joined with Jacques-Émile Blanche to set up a Théâtre d'ombres review.
In the increasingly politicised atmosphere of the times the salon was naturally ardently pro-Dreyfus, perhaps taking a lead from the half-Jewish hostess and her Jewish husband, who was frequently rumoured to be an illegitimate half-brother to the Rothschild brothers.
The political and social polarisation provoked by the Dreyfus affair was nevertheless followed by a decline in popularity for the salon of Mme.
In 1903 France remained the world's leading automaker, producing 30,124 cars (nearly 49% of the world total) as against 11,235 cars produced in the USA.
Marcel Proust became one of the company's most devoted customers, taking long taxi trips into the Normandy countryside which provided the backdrop for some of his best known novels.
It was indeed as a result of this arrangement that Proust came to know , who in 1913 exchanged the life of a (by this point unemployed) taxi driver for a job as Proust's secretary-stenographer, although some sources indicate that in making the appointment Proust was driven primarily by romantic considerations.
In 1909 Salomon left to set up business independently of Richard: Bizet joined up with him to establish the automobile manufacturer known to posterity as Le Zèbre.
In 1912, three days after a disagreement in a theatre foyer which ended with Bizet slapping Count Hubert de Pierredon across the face, he and de Pierredon, albeit without either causing the other lasting damage.
She died on 15 October 1900 while undergoing an operation under the surgeon-gynechologist Samuel Jean de Pozzi, a former lover of Bizet's mother.
In the end he committed suicide, shooting himself in the head, over matters involving his mistress, a couple of weeks before the death of his life-long friend Marcel Proust.

The Columbia 40 is an American sailboat that was designed by Charles Morgan as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1964.
Features include a raked stem , a raised counter transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel with a hydraulically raised, retractable centerboard.
The steel tube frame was designed to take the standing rigging loads and pass them through the steel structure to the hull bulkheads and the deck structure.
This allowed very high tensions on the cabling, for example on the forestay and allowed a very precise sail shape, providing better performance in light and heavier winds.
Being hydraulically actuated, the centerboard was intended to be raised when sailing downwind to reduce whetted area and drag, as in dinghy sailing.
Additional sleeping accommodation is provided in the main cabin, including a dinette table that can be dropped to form a double berth, and a single berth.
The Columbia 34 was created in 1966 with the addition of a deck adapted from the Columbia 40 mated to the hull of the Columbia 33 Caribbean design.
The design was used to win the 1966 SORC Miami-Nassau race and also took second, third and fifth places in SORC Class C.
Mary Wright Gill (May 19, 1867 – October 30, 1929) was a scientific illustrator who worked for the Bureau of American Ethnology (BAE) and other government agencies in the late-19th and early-20th centuries.
Mary Wright Gill was born on May 19, 1867 in Washington, D.C. She was the daughter of Minna Wright (d. 1908) and had a brother, John Newton Wright.
As a girl, due to health issues, she was taken out of school and enrolled in the School of Design at the University of Cincinnati, and became the youngest student ever to enroll in that program.
Some of her early work was featured as part of the Smithsonian's contributions to the Centennial Exposition of the Ohio Valley and Central States.
In 1891, her work was featured in an exhibition for the Society of Washington Artists in the Woodward & Lothrop gallery.
Some of her illustrations, like the photographs taken by Stevenson, were not made with the same ethical protocols observed by ethnographers and documentarians today, and are considered culturally sensitive by contemporary Pueblo communities.
During her career, she had formative friendships with prominent women illustrators such as Mary Agnes Chase; the two were among a group of women who had created a niche in the government for this professional line of work.
R. E. Irish (born Robert Irish) was an American cinematographer who worked in Hollywood during the earlier part of the silent era.

Hanna U. Kroeger (1913-1998) was a pioneer in the health food and alternative medicine movements in the U.S. She operated a variety of businesses including a health food store, restaurant, and wholesale herb business in Boulder, Colorado between 1957 and her death.
Approximately a year after her arrival in Boulder Kroeger took over a tea and coffee company from the owner who was retiring.
She added healing teas, baked goods, seeds, nuts, raisins, oils and other items to the store’s offerings and renamed it Imperial Tea and Health Foods.
Kroeger also started the Kroeger Herb Wholesale Product Company (still operating as Kroeger Herb Products Co., Inc.) that sold hundreds of lines of herbs and homeopathic treatments carried in stores all over the world.
She was the author of over 20 books, mostly dealing with herbal therapies that she largely obtained from traditional European and Native American teachings.
Undercover Pinkerton agents hired by the State Board of Medical Examiners testified that Kroeger had provided advice to them about various fabricated ailments.
She was found guilty of 5 charges but granted a new trial because her defense attorneys were denied access to grand jury testimony.
In February 1989 the State Board of Medical Examiners filed a complaint asking the Boulder District Court to prohibit Kroeger from practicing medicine.
Following her death her daughter Gisela left a career as a mathematics professor and database designer to take over Kroeger’s business.
She is a graduate of Columbia College where she studied fashion design with a focus on pattern making and technical design.
She began working on the site full-time after realizing there was a modern design gap in the offerings of the commercial pattern making industry.

Arsenal won the match 11–1, setting a new FA WSL record scoreline, surpassing the 9–0 win set by Liverpool Ladies over Doncaster Rovers Belles in 2013.
Dutch striker Vivianne Miedema was involved in all 10 of the goals scored while she was on the pitch, scoring six times and registering four assists, which broke her own FA WSL record for single-game goal involvements originally set at five in September 2018 against Liverpool (three goals, two assists).
The goal tally also took Miedema's all-time FA WSL goals total to 36 goals, overtaking Ji So-yun as the highest-scoring non-British player in league history.
Arsenal's lineup contained four changes from the League Cup clash while Bristol City only made two with both teams having also been in league action during the intermediate weekend.
Lisa Evans opened the scoring in the 7th minute before Leah Williamson doubled Arsenal's advantage three minutes later, both assisted by Vivianne Miedema.
The assists turned into goals as Miedema scored a hat-trick in the space of 21 minutes to send Arsenal into the half-time break with a 5–0 lead.
Miedema resumed scoring six minutes into the second half, betting her fourth of the day and Arsenal's sixth before Jordan Nobbs became the fourth goalscorer of the game to make it 7–0 in the 54th minute.

Oran K. Henderson (August 25, 1920 – June 2, 1998) was a United States Army colonel who commanded the 11th Infantry Brigade, 23rd Infantry Division during the Vietnam War and later served as head of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency in the late 1970s.
He is most famous for his role in the My Lai massacre where he served as brigade commander for the units involved in the killings, ultimately being charged and acquitted of dereliction of duty for failing to carry out an adequate investigation and lying to Army investigators.
He entered the Army in 1941 and served in World War II, and the Korean War as an infantry officer, being wounded in both conflicts.
During the operation, soldiers under his command massacred hundreds of unarmed South Vietnamese civilians near the village of Sơn Mỹ in what would later be known as the My Lai massacre.
Henderson was the first to interview Warrant Officer (WO1) Hugh Thompson, Jr., a helicopter pilot who had intervened in the massacre and issued an official report describing what he saw.
Despite the report, Henderson issued a commendation for Captain Ernest Medina, the commander of one of the companies involved in the killings and even after interviewing several soldiers involved in the operation, issued a report stating only twenty civilians had been inadvertently killed by artillery fire.
In 1970, three charges were brought against Henderson to include failing to carry out a thorough investigation of the killings, failing to report possible war crimes to his division commander Brigadier General Samuel W. Koster, and lying to a Pentagon inquiry.
In the case, Henderson's defense counsel argued that he had conducted an honest investigation but was misled by his subordinates including Captain Medina while prosecutors contended he hid evidence in order to preserve his rank and command.
On 18 December 1971, after a 62-day trial in Fort George G. Meade which heard 106 witnesses, Henderson was acquitted by a jury of two generals and five colonels.
After leaving the Army, Henderson became head of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, where he oversaw responses to devastating floods in 1977 and the Three Mile Island accident.

Australian membership in the World Bank Group (WBG) is motivated by both 1) efforts to aid and assist the developing nations of the world and 2) to promote Australian regional interests throughout the East Asian, Southeast Asian, and greater Oceania regions.
Australian membership has led to countless successful foreign aid and development projects totaling hundreds of millions; in 2012-13 alone, Australia provided close to $552.6 million to the World Bank Group.
According to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), Australian foreign aid and World Bank Group contributions has led to achievements in three major areas concerning Growth, Inclusiveness, and Sustainability & Resilience.
Australian and World Bank Group efforts have resulted in both economic development and urban development in the Growth sector, education, sustainable development, and welfare program development in the Inclusiveness sector, and other successful projects in the Sustainability & Resilience sector that include environmental protection.
Australia is a continental-nation located in the heart of the Indo-Pacific region, which includes East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania (including Micronesia, Australasia, Melanesia, and Polynesia), and is among that of the wealthiest, and potentially most influential, nations in the region.
Being so, Australia has the potential to assert great influence over the region, and thus has many interests and priorities regarding the region.
Australian contributions to the World Bank Group, as close as the partnership is between the two, is primarily motivated by Australian interests and priorities in the Indo-Pacific region.
Through Australian World Bank Group membership and contributions, Australia is able to promote and influence World Bank Group development, aid, and project policies and priorities to focus more on that of the Indo-Pacific region, allowing for more economic development and growth throughout the region.
IDA18 replenishments is a $774.45 million Australian dollar global, but primarily Pacific regional, effort aimed at increasing the value of currency in the region, increasing regional economic development and aid to benefit growth and infrastructure, increasing sustainable development, and other mutual projects that support both Australian regional interests and the World Bank Group agenda over the course of 9 nine years.
Between 1994 to 2013, Australia contributed 134 donations towards The World Bank Group and their funds, of which include thirteen funds across six different sectors and themes.
Below is a table of Australian contributions towards World Bank funds and their corresponding World Bank sectors between 1994 through 2013, according to the World Bank date provided in their Contributions to FIF (Financial Intermediary Funds) - Australia as of 2013.
While there have been previous, private blockchain bond projects, Bond-i is the first global, public, bond sales processing system to be developed wholly and completely from blockchain and cryptocurrency technology.
As well as the first to be created, managed, and in which bond trade activities and actions are recorded using distributed ledger technology.
This is all in efforts to relieve the extremely outdated documented process of bond trading and issuance, allowing for a more effective, efficient, and economic trade process that will, in turn, increase the speed of trades while simultaneously decreasing the costs spent in processing these trades and bonds.
Although Bond-i utilizes blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, the currencies of these bond exchanges is neither in cryptocurrency nor in bitcoin, but instead in the Australia dollar., partly because the Australian dollar is among the most highly traded currencies in the world.
Numerous islands in the Pacific either have been engulfed, or are soon to be engulfed, by the Pacific Ocean due to the rising seas from climate change and global warming.
The World Bank Group argued that allowing mass and open migration would not only be a humanitarian effort that would prevent a forced migration of Pacific Islanders in the future as a result of climate change, but the open access would also significantly boost both Australian and New Zealand economies.
First, Berkelmans and Pryke proposed two avenues of mass, open and free migration: 1) the uncapped model and 2) the capped model.
The uncapped model would call for Australia to establish a new special visa category in which there would not be a limit as to the number of civilians migrating to Australia.
Through this model, it is projected that Australia would annually admit 900,000 immigrants, which would total to about 6.04 million by the year 2040.
It should not be either assumed or misunderstood that the uncapped model either suggests or calls for unregulated and uncontrolled migration, the Pacific island civilians would still be subject to immigration tests, such as that of health and character tests.
This model projects that Australia would annually admit 215,000 immigrants each year, which would total to about 5.16 million by the 2040.
Per Berkelmans and Pryke, one of the more significant and notable of the anticipated benefits for Australian open mass and free migration would be that of increased annual incomes for individuals and households, as Australian regional aid to the Indo-Pacific and Oceania regions was $600 million (2005 PPP adjusted US$).
They further noted that should these Pacific island civilians be allowed to immigrate and work in Australia, the combined annual income increases is projected to be $25 billion (2005 PPP adjusted US$), 40 times that of the Australian regional aid program budget.
Not only has it been suggested that opening free and mass migration be beneficial for the Pacific island civilians, but it has been suggested that these civilians, a majority of which are low-skilled, low and uneducated individuals, would be able to fill the voids in the Australia labor force shortages, especially in low-skilled professions.
However, one of the detriments to this mass, open and free migration is that it would significantly undermine the Australian immigration initiative of attracting and admitting skilled workers to boost the Australian economy and improve the society and nation in general.
Also, it is suggested that if so many Pacific island civilians emigrated from their homelands, their nations would be left worse off due to labor force shortages and declining economies, consequently.

Reverse mission is a Christian missiological concept focusing on the late-20th-century reversal of early missionizing efforts, whereby Christians from Africa, Asia, and Latin America send missionaries to Europe and North America.
The second half of the 20th century has seen the shift of world Christianity, from Europe and North America to Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
Reverse missionaries from African have sought to reintroduce Christianity to the United Kingdom, as have Koreans bringing Christianity to the United States.
In 1989, the Third World Missions Association was established in Portland, Oregon, as a forum to train sending agencies of reverse missionaries from Africa, Asia, and Latin American.
Some have criticized the terminology as a rhetoric more than reality, given that the success in mission is less in converting Europeans and North Americans, but in leading immigrant church populations in these lands.
Others have noted that the language arose alongside the decolonization of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, and has been used to emphasize the shift of power from the West to the majority world.

The Red Republic of Caulonia () was a short lived revolutionary communist Italian state formed on 6 March 1945 by mayor of Caulonia Pasquale Cavallaro, an elementary teacher and former seminarian who joined the Italian Communist Party in 1943.
The revolt which had led to the proclamation of the republic was provoked by protests and turmoil of peasants, still under the control of powerful landowners who wanted to preservers their privileges obtained with fascism and after the Italian unification.
At the time, Pasquale Cavallaro was a 31 years old elementary school teacher from a rural family and he had been an antifascist since the march on Rome in 1922.
In January 1944, the Reggio Calabria prefetto Antonio Priolo appointed Pasquale Cavallaro as mayor of Caulonia, with the support of the Communist Party.
He had applied new reforms which led to the seize of weapons and grain stockpiled by landowners, moreover, he had requested a research on usurpations of state lands and the report relieved that the 75% of state lands was illegally owned by local rich families.
Pressures of the father to free his son provoked the revolt in the town: on the following day, Cavallaro himself occupied the offices of telegraphs ad posts and the Carabinieri Reali barracks together with a group of loyalists.
A internment camp for class enemies was established along with a people's court, and former fascist (identified as landowners) were prosecuted and punished.
Cavallaro realized the seriousness of the event and persuaded his men to turn themselves to police on the next morning, but nonetheless the situation got worse and the news of the homicide was spread quickly in all Italy.
For a few days, the alliance of anti-fascist forces was menaced by liberals who would leave the majority if communist leader Palmiro Togliatti did not condemned the facts of Caulonia, however the national PCI promptly disapproved the acts of Caulonists.
PCI Secretary for Reggio Calabria province, Eugenio Musolino and Prefetto Piolo convinced Cavallaro to interrupt the insurrection and give weapons in exchange for the clemency for rioters.
On 23 June 1947, the 365 rioters were accused before the Court of Locri for: creating armed bands, extortions, violences on private citizens, usurpation of public employment and homicide.

Charles Jackson, Jr. (born February 12, 1937 - February 2002), known as The East Bay Slayer, was an American serial killer, responsible for the murders of at least 7 women and one man between 1975 and 1982.
Jackson is suspected of committing several more murders during the 1970s and 1980s around the Contra Costa area, in which at least 5 other serial killers also operated in that time frame.
He lived in a socially disadvantageous environment, as his father was an alcoholic who was aggressive towards him and other family members.
Due to material difficulties, Jackson dropped out of high school in the early 1950s and started spending a lot of time on the street.
Subsequently, over the next 28 years, he was repeatedly arrested on charges of committing crimes such as burglary, rape, assault and molestation of minors (dates include March 2, 1962; January 11, 1965; May 15, 1967; October 1969; June 9, 1970; August 21, 1975 and May 22, 1978).
The last time he was released was on September 12, 1981, after which he started work as a day laborer for some time, as well as doing other odd jobs.
During the investigation, several eyewitnesses to the crime were found who wrote down the license plate on Jackson's car, on the basis of which he was arrested on three days later, and charged with Stewart's murder.
Charles Jackson spent the rest of his life in the Folsom State Prison, where he died in February 2002 from a heart attack.
A month after his death, DNA testing of biological samples from him were carried out on samples found on the bodies of various women and girls, killed throughout Contra Costa County during the 1970s and 1980s.
Jackson's true victim count is currently unknown, since there were at least five other serial killers in the Contra Costa area during his murder spree.
Dongmyeong ilgi (동명일기, Travelogue of Dongmyeong) is a travelogue written by Lady Uiyudang (意幽堂) of the Nam clan of Uiryeong (宜寧南氏, 1727–1823) in 1772 (the 48 year of King Yeongjo’s reign), at the age of 46.
Written while she was staying in the Hamheung region as the wife of an assistant magistrate of the same region, it depicts her trip to a beach near Hamheung known as Dongmyeong (東溟) and her experience of watching a moonrise and a sunrise there.
Moreover, The sister of Uiyudang’s husband married Hong In-han (洪麟漢), the uncle of Lady Hyegyeonggung Hong (later Queen Heongyeong), and her elder sister’s husband was Kim Si-muk (金時默), the father of Queen Hyoui, the wife of King Jeongju.
It seems that when she was younger, she followed her husband to northern and southern regions of Korea, but led a lonely life after her husband and most of her children had passed away.
While she was spending her later years in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, her niece Queen Hyoui took care of her, regularly sending her food and clothing.
However, when she climbs up to the Gwigyeongdae Cliff (龜景臺), she is unable to see a sunrise due to a cloudy weather.
Uiyudang begs her husband again, and in 1772, accompanied by her husband, woman entertainers, and servants, she takes a trip to Dongmyeong once again to see a moonrise and a sunrise.
After arriving at her destination, she first enjoys boating, and then when the dusk is falling, she climbs up to the Gwigyeongdae Cliff.
After staying up all night to see a sunrise, Uiyudang climbs up to the Gwigyeongdae Cliff once again and waits for it.
However, women entertainers feel sorry for her, thinking that she won’t be able to see a sunrise due to a cloudy weather.
Uiyudang is also worried about it, but the sun looms above the horizon, and she describes the scene in great detail.

Garth Coleridge Reeves, Sr. (February 12, 1919 – November 25, 2019) was the Publisher of the Miami Times from 1970–1994, when he was then named Publisher Emeritus.
Inducted in 2017 to the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Hall of Fame he was for the latter half of the 20th century an African American voice in Miami, Florida, having taken over his fathers duties as publisher after WWII.
The family immigrated to the United States and he grew up in Miami’s Overtown and Liberty City from when he was just 4 months old.
His memories of the overt racism he and others faced helped to shape the activist he became during the Civil Rights Era.
The only job he ever had other than his stint in the segregated ARMY during WWII was at the one sheet tabloid for the black community started by his father in 1923.
Recalling his time in the Boy Scouts in Jim Crow 1935, he articulated not being able to advance in the Scouts, due to the lack of facilities for blacks to take swimming lessons or take the practical tests for the required badges.
After returning from Europe at the end of World War II and encountering racism at home he became dispirited, giving his mother a list of places other than Miami he felt were more accommodating to African-Americans .
Reeves had returned to Miami in 1946, his father Henry E. Sigismund Reeves was running The Miami Times which was a 'race' tabloid, catering to the black community.
His son was on the opposing spectrum, having fought for freedom in Europe and not being as patient with the Jim Crow policies of the south.
Garth held every job at one time or the other at the paper and the energy he devoted drove the Times to grow during the 50s and 60s.
In 1949, blacks were not allowed to play at the public golf courses during the week, but were allowed on Monday, the one day the sprinklers were on.
He and his friends filed suit for access to the fairways, basing their claim on taxes paid in upkeep and maintenance of the courses.
While not subscribing to the non-violence philosophy of Martin Luther King during the run up to the March on Washington; he reported on the movement in the periodical faithfully.
‘CONSCIENCE OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY’ is how his editorials were described, he consistently used very different wording than other papers to describe the riots that swept into Florida after police shootings, calling them 'protests' instead, as Reeves later described The Miami Times’ editorial policy in a 1999 interview.
He was dedicated to uplifting the race and he was not afraid to throw rocks and hide his hands to get the power structure’s attention to the difficulties and the inequalities of the black community.
In 1957, Reeves and other black leaders took their tax bills to a meeting with white officials in an effort to integrate Dade County beaches.
Reeves developed his writing voice in the middle of the civil rights era when he ascended to managing editor of The Times.
He also came to understandings with the white business establishment in the downtown Miami, joining the mostly white Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce in 1968.
He also courted various charities like the United Way, the Boy Scouts and other philanthropic endeavors that the downtown clique perceived as the litmus test of civic involvement.
He invested the profits in bank stock and real estate, owning a 5 percent share of Miami’s Bayside Marketplace, located in the thriving downtown.
It was he who secured the family ownership of the Times as it evolved into the current digital edition helmed by his grandson, Garth Basil, whom succeeded his daughter, Rachel, who also passed in 2019.
She had been the latest publisher of The Miami Times, assuming the mantle of leadership from her father and grandfather in 1994.
He retired from the day to day operation and assumed the mantle of elder statesman, active in civic affairs into his 98th year.
Black journalists and the black press are up against formidable foes and we have to keep fighting and not give up.
It makes you feel good when you are recognized by your peers and, being in the business, at 98, I feel good,” he told The Miami Times.
After Rachel passed in September at age 69 Reeves health declined, he died due to complications from Pneumonia at his home in Aventura, Fla. at age 100.
Ahead of the 1980 season he joined Moss FK, and already in 1981 he went on to a second-choice spot in Vålerenga IF.

The decade of riots were the result of policing controversies and ethnic tensions fueled by the perceived threat of recent immigrants to African Americans on the Miami job market.
In the United States through the 1960s, desegregation was empowering once disadvantaged African American communities to reach new political and economic gains.
In Miami the Cuban exile seemed to undercut new African American gains as Cubans began to compete for jobs, residence, and political power.
Many Cuban refugees lacked English language skills and ended up living in lower income neighborhoods and taking up blue collar jobs that many African Americans also held.
Cuban and later Latin American refugees were also given assistance by the US government and Catholic church that local African Americans were not given.
By 1968, Miami witnessed a riot in its Liberty City neighborhood during the 1968 Republican National Convention, caused by the frustration African Americans faced in the country.
By the 1970s, the Hispanic population of Miami outnumbered the African American population and more Hispanic owned businesses had been opened than African American owned businesses.
The 1980 riots were race riots that occurred in Miami, starting in earnest on May 18, 1980, following the acquittal of police officers who had beaten black motorcyclist Arthur McDuffie.
The 1989 Miami riot came after police officer William Lozano shot Clement Lloyd, who was fleeing another officer on a motorcycle.
After the arrest of Haitian demonstrators picketing a Cuban owned business, believed to have harassed Haitian customers, and the condemnation of Nelson Mandela's visit to Miami by many Cuban city officials, many black business organizations boycotted Miami entirely throughout the summer of 1990.
In the end $50,000,000 dollars was lost due to cancelled conventions in the city and ended with various business deals in the city to help expand black owned businesses and attract black professionals.
After police shot a shooting suspect in Overtown, rioting broke out in majority black neighborhoods of Liberty City, Overtown, and to a lighter degree in Coconut Grove.
Twenty people were arrested after rocks were thrown at a police station, a city bus, and a dumpster was set on fire.

Patricia A. Thiel is an American chemist and materials scientist who is a Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at Iowa State University.
Thiel herself attended a private elementary school nearby her farm in Lismore, MN for grades 1-8 and public high school in Adrian, MN for grades 9-12.
Support from the National Merit Scholarship Program enabled her to attend Macalester College in St. Paul, MN, where she was inspired by her freshman chemistry course and its instructor, Prof. Emil Smirkowski to major in chemistry.
After working for a year at Control Data Corporation as an analytic chemist, she enrolled in the Chemistry Department at the California Institute of Technology, with financial support from a National Science Foundation Predoctoral Fellowship.
Thiel's first appointment after graduation was as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, where she worked in the research group of Gerhard Ertl, who later went on to receive the 2007 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Throughout this time period she received outstanding teaching awards, and held several administrative posts, including Program Director for Materials Chemistry (Ames Laboratory; 1988-2004), Chief Research officer (Ames Laboratory; 2008-2009) and Chair of the Iowa State Chemistry Department (1999-2002).
Thiel is an associate editor of The Journal of Chemical Physics.. She attended the Nobel Prize ceremony on December 10, 2011, where Dan Shechtman received the 2011 Nobel Prize in chemistry for the discovery of quasicrystals.
Thiel's research has elucidated atomic-scale structures and processes on solid surfaces, in areas relevant to microelectronics, tribology, heterogeneous catalysis, and nanoscience.
Thiel's research group pioneered studies of nucleation and growth of metal films on quasicrystal surfaces, demonstrating that local pseudomorphic growth, including starfish-shaped formations, can occur at very specific nucleation sites.
Focusing on metallic, aluminum-rich quasicrystals, Thiel and her collaborators extensively explored how quasicrystal atomic-scale surface structures were related to their unusual surface properties, including low friction, low adhesion, and good oxidation resistance.
She continued her research on water as a faculty member at Iowa State University, and discovered that desorption kinetics of water can exhibit a measurable isotope effect.
She is credited with being the first to propose that bilayers of water near solid surfaces could possess a structure similar to the basal plane of Ice Ih.
She is the co-author, along with Theodore E. Madey, of a highly cited and comprehensive review article describing the interactions and properties of water near solid surfaces.
Thiel's group is credited with discovering that large two-dimensional metal clusters actually diffuse on metal substrates, and that this can be the dominant mechanism leading to coarsening (an evolution to larger sizes and fewer numbers) of these clusters.
She and James W. Evans are responsible for first describing an atomic-scale mechanism for metal film growth, which they dubbed ‘downward funneling’.
Because of this mechanism, they predicted an unusual variation in film roughness with temperature from theory, and eventually confirmed it experimentally using STM.
More recently, her group discovered a series of naturally-occurring metal-sulfur complexes with distinct stoichiometries, which may influence stability of larger metallic features by assisting surface metal transport and hence coarsening.
She and her collaborators also discovered that metallic nanoparticles can be grown as encapsulated clusters near the surface of a layered material, graphite, if specific growth conditions are met.
Applying a continuum elasticity model, they developed insight into the reasons for the low, flattened shapes (high aspect ratios) of these embedded particles, and a prediction that the shape of encapsulated metal islands should be universal (size-independent).

The team currently competes in the Moto2 World Championship under the name NTS RW Racing GP, in a technical partnership running the factory team for Japanese motorcycle chassis builder NTS.
Roelof Waninge, owner of a Dutch network of commercial vehicle dealerships and workshops headquartered in Assen, originally became invested in motorcycle racing in 1993 as a personal sponsor of Dutch rider Jarno Janssen, who would go on to become RW's team principal after his riding career.
In 2011, the long-standing Dutch 125cc and 250cc team owned by Arie Molenaar came into financial trouble, prompting Waninge to purchase the remaining assets of the team and rename it RW Racing GP.
The team began competing in 2011, taking over the existing 125cc programme from Molenaar, using Aprilia machinery and retaining upcoming Spanish rider Luis Salom.
In 2012 with the replacement of the 125cc class by the new four-stroke Moto3 regulations, the team switched to Kalex-KTM machines, retaining Salom and adding South African rider Brad Binder.
In 2013, former Molenaar team rider Jarno Janssen, who had continued with the team and subsequently with RW in various technical roles after retirement as a racer, was named general team manager.
2014 would prove to be the team's worst season to date, with both riders Scott Deroue and Ana Carrasco failing to score a single point.
2015 saw a major change for the team, with a switch to Honda machinery and a reduction to a single rider, Livio Loi.
Loi managed a win at Indianapolis that season, but managed only one other top 10 finish with a 5th place at Silverstone.
2017 saw another major step for the RW Racing GP team, as they moved up to Moto2 with Spanish rider Axel Pons on Kalex machinery.
For the 2018 season, RW joined forces with new chassis manufacturer NTS to operate their factory programme as the sole users of the NTS chassis.
Despite NTS's relatively quick success in the previous two seasons of the CEV Moto2 European Championship, the challenge of the Moto2 World Championship proved more daunting with RW finishing 16th and 15th from 18 teams in 2018 and 2019 respectively.

It would have served as a minor church, though, since it was neither a Decuman church nor the place of litanies.
Landolfo in the same work reported that on May 7, 1105, during the demolition of the pre-existing church, precious relics were discovered, among which were a part of Jesus’ burial clothes and his Holy Shroud, a piece of the stone on which the angel who announced the resurrection was seated, a splinter of the Holy Cross, and a fragment of Mary's dress.
Little would be known about the appearance of the church before Richini's reconstruction if it were not for its description, including the building plan, which can be found in documents of Federico Borromeo's pastoral visit in 1605.
The facade was finally restored in 1856, after the completion of the restoration of the building, the floors with the burial sites underneath, and the surrounding spaces that parish priest, Alberto De Capitani d'Arzago had started in 1854.
The first on the list is Marco Azzoni, active around 1450, but actually, Maffeo Monza, active priest from 1536 to 1574, was the first priest with confirmed dates of activity.
Barely visible from the street is a small dome that covers the church, perhaps made by Girolamo Quadrio and that hosts, in the carved-out niches, four statues of angels by Giuseppe Vismara and Simonetta, sculpted in 1662.
The single nave is not very wide and has four side chapels adorned with white marble statues; the altar of Magdalene is decorated by Stefano Sampietro; in the sacristy is the work by Camillo Procaccini (rarely visible because of the infrequent openings of the church).
Even now, holes and chips caused from shrapnel are visible on the exterior and the red granite columns, leaving the high-relief of the Simonetta extensively damaged and mutilated in some of its protruding parts.
Only some scattered ruins to the right of the church remain of the shrine today, which were restored as part of a three-year project, which was completed in November 2015.
During the renovation of the street Via Santa Maria alla Porta, the original marble floor was also found, but it was covered again for the lack of necessary funds.
The two 19th-century central statues of angels set atop the tympanum and the statues set in the two niches of the second order that are visible in some photographs at the beginning of the 20th century are also missing.
Santa Maria alla Porta is chantry for the Polish-speaking parishioners as shown on a plaque located at the side of the entrance.

The Epiphany proclamation is a summary of liturgical dates announced (sometimes sung) annually by a priest, deacon, or other Christian minister on the Feast of Epiphany, the celebration of the manifestation of Jesus Christ to the nations.
The announcement of the date of Easter is an ancient practice, with a fuller list of dates prescribed in the modern Roman Missal.
The practice is found principally in the Roman Catholic Church, but is also observed in some parishes of other western rite denominations, including the Anglican Communion and Lutheran churches.
This tradition dated from a time when calendars were not readily available, and the church needed to publicize the date of Easter, since many celebrations of the liturgical year depend on it.
According to the Roman Missal, the proclamation may be sung or proclaimed at the ambo by a priest, deacon, cantor, or reader, either after the reading of the Gospel or after the postcommunion prayer.
The Missal provides a formula with appropriate chant (in the same tone as the Exsultet) for proclaiming on Epiphany, wherever it is customary to do so, the dates in the calendar for the celebration of Ash Wednesday, Easter Sunday, Ascension Day, Pentecost, Corpus Christi, and the Advent Sunday, that will mark the following liturgical year.
In many parts of the world the Epiphany proclamation fell into disuse during the latter twentieth century, but some sources suggest a notable revival of its use in the early years of the twenty-first century.

The vessel unsuited to heavy traffic, because it loaded from the sides, increasing the risk of damage to vehicles, was replaced in 1926–27.
When tendered in 1932, three bids required no subsidy to operate the ferry, while Mr. Robson, the private operator for the prior six years, offered to pay $1,800 per annum.
The Ladner landing, on a side channel, experienced ongoing silting that required periodical dredging, and at times grounded the ferry in mid-summer.

Sailors, particularly French sailors, often refer to a 100% jib as a Solent, because its smaller size is preferable when sailing in the strong winds found in the Solent between the Isle of Wight and Britain.
The common use of roller-furling headsails, or genoas, on modern cruising yachts allows the jib to be reduced in size, but partially-furled sails lack the efficiency of a sail that is actually cut to a smaller size.
On a sloop, there is a single forestay that runs from the top of the mast forward to the prow, and in addition to bracing the mast it provides a firm support to which a jib can be attached.
When this forestay is covered with a roller-furling jib, which cannot be quickly removed, it becomes impossible to attach a different sail to the same stay.
When needed to hold the solent sail, the stay is attached to a point just behind the forestay, where it is tensioned with a tackle or a Highfield lever.
When not in use, it must be moved out of the way to allow the genoa to be deployed and tacked from side to side.
It may be detached and secured just in front of the mast, or led to one side and fastened next to the shrouds.
A solent rig is different from a cutter rig, although a solent may serve the same purpose as the staysail on a cutter.
A solent stay serves essentially as an alternative forestay when a roller-fuller prevents raising a different sail on the same line.
On a cutter, the staysail stay is parallel to the forestay, but a significant distance behind and below it, allowing sails to be flown from both the forestay and the staysail stay at the same time.
Since a staysail on a cutter does not run all the way to the mast-top, it may cause bend in the mast unless the pull is balanced by a running backstay.
Besides setting a solent sail as a 100% jib, it is possible to reef such a jib, or to set a storm sail on the solent stay.

The MacDonald River is a tributary of the east bank of the Métabetchouane River, flowing in the municipalities of Métabetchouan–Lac-à-la-Croix and Desbiens, in the Lac-Saint-Jean-Est Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province, in Quebec, Canada.
The surface of the MacDonald River (except the rapids) is usually frozen from late November to early April, however safe circulation on the ice is generally from mid-December to late March.
The MacDonald River originates at the confluence of two agricultural and forestry streams, located west of Chemin du 4e rang de Métabetchouan–Lac-à-la-Croix.
From the confluence of the MacDonald River, the current crosses northwest to Métabetchouane harbor, to the south shore of lac Saint-Jean; from there, the current crosses the latter on towards the northeast, then borrows the course of the Saguenay River via la Petite Décharge on until Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence estuary.

Flash floods occurred throughout the Indonesian capital of Jakarta and its metropolitan area on the early hours of 1 January 2020, due to the overnight rain which dumped nearly of rainwater, causing the Ciliwung and Cisadane rivers to overflow.
Floods have hit Jakarta several times in the past, including in 1621, 1654, 1918, 1942, 1976, 1996, 2002, 2007 and 2013.
A significant contributing factor is that a substantial part of Jakarta is low-lying; some 24,000 ha (240 km) of the main part of Jakarta are below sea level.
When this happens, the high tides push water into low-lying areas coinciding with the runoff from rains in upland areas (such as Bogor) flowing down into the Jakarta area.
Uncontrolled population growth in urban areas, poor land-use planning, and the lack of understanding among city residents and government about floods and its disaster risk exacerbate the impact.
From 18:30 WIB (11:00 UTC, WIB is UTC+07:00) on 1 January until 12:00 WIB (05:00 UTC) on 2 January, the government temporarily waived all toll road fees in Jakarta.
According to Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG), more rain with thunderstorm and heavy winds is expected in the next three to seven days, which is likely to exacerbate the current flooding situation.
Halim Perdanakusuma Airport was closed early in the morning due to the submerged runways, and air traffic was temporarily redirected to Soekarno-Hatta Airport.
Many parts of the city had been left without power, as the power was switched off for safety reasons by the state-owned electricity firm, PLN.
It was the area's worst flooding since 2007 when the rainfall intensity was per day and 80 people were killed in 10 days.
Baswedan has also told reporters that he would push new large-scale infrastructure projects, including a dam and a sluice, to prevent flooding again.
Turkey's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that it's in full solidarity with the people of Indonesia and ready to provide any assistance that may be needed.

La Saline Natural Area in the boreal forest of northeastern Alberta, Canada, preserves Saline Lake, a saline oxbow lake adjacent to the Athabasca River north of Fort McMurray.
Saline Lake is the region's most productive lake for waterfowl, and birdwatching is the main recreational activity at La Saline Natural Area.
Thousands of ducks, geese and other birds migrate along the Athabasca River to nesting sites on the Peace-Athabasca Delta, and Saline Lake is an important resting and feeding spot for them.
Rare hypersaline vegetation types are found on the tufa mound, and rare brackish and saline plant communities grow in the salt marshes along the lake shore.
The spring water at La Saline originates primarily from the Devonian strata that underlie the region, including the carbonate rocks of the Keg River and Waterways Formations, and the halite (rock salt) deposits of the Prairie Evaporite Formation.
The spring water at La Saline has a reported total dissolved solids content of and it comes to the surface because it has reached an aquitard formed by the bitumen-saturated sands at the base of the overlying Early Cretaceous McMurray Formation.
As carbon dioxide and small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas are released to the atmosphere, some of the dissolved minerals precipitate, forming the tufa.
Outcrops of the Devonian limestones of the Waterways Formation (Moberly Member) are present along the Athabasca River on the western edge of the Natural Area.

The L'Abbé river is a tributary of the east bank of the Métabetchouane River, flowing in the municipalities of Saint-André-du-Lac-Saint-Jean and Chambord, in the Le Domaine-du-Roy Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The surface of the L'Abbé River (except the rapids zones) is usually frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March.
Then, it flows over a length of towards the northwest, to its mouth, located on the east bank of the Métabetchouane River in the middle of a rapid zone, facing an island and upstream of the mouth of the Grande Désir river.
From the confluence of the L'Abbé river, the current descends the Métabetchouane River to the north on crossing Martine Falls, to the south shore of Lac Saint-Jean; from there, the current crosses the latter on towards the northeast, then borrows the course of the Saguenay River via la Petite Décharge on until Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence estuary.
The toponym Rivière L'Abbé was formalized on December 5, 1968 at the Place Names Bank of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.

Routine flaring, also known as Production flaring, is a method and current practice of disposing of large unwanted amounts of associated petroleum gas (APG) during crude oil extraction.
The gas is first separated from the liquids and solids downstream of the wellhead, then released into a flare stack and combusted into earth's atmosphere; usually in an open diffusion flame.
Routine flaring is not to be confused with safety flaring, maintenance flaring, or other flaring practices characterized by shorter durations or smaller volumes of gas disposal.
145 billion cubic meters (over 5 trillion cubic feet) of natural gas is estimated to have been flared worldwide during 2018.
The majority of this was routinely flared APG at thousands of well sites, and is a waste amount equal to the natural gas usage of South and Central America.
The wasting of a primary resource provides no present economic or future wealth benefits, while creating liabilities through the build up of greenhouse gases and other harmful pollutants in the biosphere.
With most forecasts showing oil and gas use increasing into the foreseeable future, the World Bank in 2002 launched the international Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership (GGFRP); a public-private partnership with the aim of retiring the wasteful practice.
In 2015, it further launched the Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 Initiative; endorsed by 32 countries, 37 companies, and 15 banking institutions by the end of 2019.
The routine flaring and venting of APG has been practiced since the first oil wells were commercialized in the late 1850's.
Flare Gas Recovery Systems (FGRS) for processing APG into liquid or compressed fuels at the wellpad have also become increasingly mobile and varied in their capabilities.
Similar to crude oil, APG is a primary energy source of both gaseous fuel and liquid fuel commodities that have high intrinsic value in the modern world economy.
The velocity and pressure drop of the gas as it exits the tip of the flare stack must be maintained within optimal ranges to ensure adequate turbulent diffusion.
When a flare is operating effectively, the combustion by-products include primarily water and carbon dioxide, and perhaps small amounts of carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides (NoX).
As a practical matter, gas streams with higher sulfur contamination levels are more likely to be flared - where allowed - than utilized due to their lower economic value.
Reported flaring and venting in the U.S. declined in the decades following World War 2, based on data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Near the end of the 20th century, it reached lows close to 1.5% of APG extracted, and 0.5% of all gas extracted from both oil and gas wells.
The largest volume changes since about 1990 have been in the Permian Basin of west Texas and New Mexico, the Bakken Formation of North Dakota, and the Eagle Ford Group of southeast Texas.
Reports of negative producer prices for natural gas, and of a further doubling of activity in the Permian, indicate the growth trend continued in 2019.
In 2018-2019, the amount of gas wasted daily in the Permian alone was capable of supplying the residential needs of the entire state of Texas.
Five new long-distance gas pipelines from the region are under construction, with the first entering service in Q3 2019, and the others scheduled to come online during 2020-2022.
A loosening in U.S. federal regulatory policy starting 2017 enabled further increases to the waste of APG from both public and private lands.

It was published in the United Kingdom in hardcover by Bloomsbury Circus, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing, on January 7, 2020.
Throughout the novel, the white characters assume they know what is best for the protagonist, without ever seeing anything from her perspective, and speak about her with a sense of ownership.
Over the course of the book, the main concern of Emira remains finding a secure job, as she will be removed from her parents' healthcare insurance cover upon turning 26.
The Idaho Falls Public Library, at Elm and Eastern Streets in Idaho Falls, Idaho, was built in 1916 as a Carnegie library and was expanded later.
The historic building is a one-story red brick building upon a raised basement story, with original portion built in 1916 in Renaissance Revival style.
The central projecting entrance pavilion, in Art Deco style, and other changes were implemented in 1938-40 as part of a Public Works Administration project.
The library was originally housed in the basement of the Baptist church, but the VIS soon set out to obtain a grant from the Carnegie Library Foundation for the construction of a library building.
In 1905, Andrew Carnegie pledged the sum of $10,000 for the city of Idaho Falls to commission a building for the public library.

Its covalent structure is , that is, a six-membered ring of alternating carbon and sulfur atoms, with two methyl groups attached to each carbon.
It can be viewed as a derivative of 1,3,5-trithiane, with methyl-group substituents for all of the hydrogen atoms in that parent structure.
In contrast, the analogous trioxane compound, 2,2,4,4,6,6-hexamethyl-1,3,5-trioxane, with oxygen atoms in place of the sulfur atoms, seems to be unstable, while its corresponding monomer acetone (2-propanone) is stable.
In the presence of an acidified catalyst at 25 °C, one obtains a product that is 60-70% trithioacetone, 30–40% of 2,2-propanedithiol, and small amounts of two isomeric impurities, 3,3,5,5,6,6-hexamethyl 1,2,4-trithiane and 4-mercapto-2,2,4,6,6-pentamethyl-1,3-dithiane.
Pyrolysis of the trithioacetone at 500-650 °C and 5-20 mm of Hg gives thioacetone, that can be collected by a cold trap at −78 °C.

The Lumbini pillar inscription, all called the Paderia inscription, is an inscription in the ancient Brahmi script, discovered in December 1896 on a pillar of Ashoka in Lumbini, modern Nepal by Alois Anton Führer.
The Lumbini inscription is generally categorized among the Minor Pillar Edicts of Ashoka, although it is in the past tense and in the ordinary third person (not the royal third person), suggesting that it is not a pronouncement of Ashoka himself, but a rather later commemoration of his visit in the area.
Ancient historical records of the Buddhist monuments of the region, made by the ancient Chinese monk-pilgrim Xuanzang in the 7th century CE and by another ancient Chinese monk-pilgrim Faxian in the early 5th century CE, had been used in an effort to search for the place of birth of the Buddha, said to be in Lumbini, and his ancient city of Kapilavastu.
The Lumbini pillar itself, set up where the Buddha was born, was mentioned by Xuanzang, who said that it was surmounted by the sculpture of a horse and that it had been broken in half, but he never mentioned the presence of an inscription, which, according to Vincent A. Smith, may already have been hidden by the time he visited in the 7th century.
The description by Xuanzang adds that the pillar was split in two and fallen on the ground at the time he saw it.
The pillar was supported underground by a brick base, which according to Vincent A. Smith had to be of a comparatively more recent date.
He suggested that the fallen pillar had been re-erected at the time of the Buddhist Pala dynasty, in the 11th or 12th century.
The existence of the stone pillar itself was already known before the discovery: it had already been reported to Vincent A. Smith by a local landowner named Duncan Ricketts, around twelve years before (circa 1884).
Rubbings of the Medieval inscriptions on top of the pillar had been sent by Ricketts, but they were thought of no great consequence.
In December 1896, Alois Anton Führer was making a follow-up survey of the nearby Nigali-Sagar pillar, discovered and investigated by him the previous year, in March 1895.
According to some accounts, Fuhrer found the Lumbini pillar on December 1st, and then asked the help of local commander, General Khadga Samsher Rana, to excavate it.
The Nepalese authorities dug around the pillar, to find the ancient Brahmi inscription, which therefore had remained underground, hidden from view.
The Brahmi inscription on the pillar gives evidence that Ashoka, emperor of the Maurya Empire, visited the place in 3rd-century BCE and identified it as the birth-place of the Buddha.
Following the discovery of the pillar, Führer relied on the accounts of ancient Chinese pilgrims to search for Kapilavastu, which he thought had to be in Tilaurakot.
Unable to find anything significant, he started excavating some structures at Sagarwa, which he said were stupas of the Shakyas, and was in the process of faking pre-Mauryan inscriptions on bricks, when he was caught in the act by Vincent Arthur Smith.
On these grounds, Christopher I. Beckwith considers the Lumbini inscription as a later work, posterior to the 1st century CE at least, and there is also a possibility that Führer himself is the actual author of the inscription.
The Nigali Sagar inscription, in many ways similar and located a few kilometers from Lumbini, also falls under the same kind of suspicion.

The big change arrived at the first quarter of the 19th century when it was decided on a massive industrialization program and transformation of the town to a large industrial center.
Łódź itself, called Łódka, existed already in the 12th century, but the first records of this agricultural settlement date back to 1332.
The market square was probably marked out in 1414 during the founding of the city on the initiative of the Włocławek bishops.
As majority of the then small commercial and agricultural towns, it was a market and an inn for a dozen or so neighboring villages.
In 1561, the residents of Łódź obtained a construction permit for the town hall, but it was not until 1585 that a contract was concluded with the townsman Michał Doczkałowicz for its construction.
He fulfilled his promise and erected a wooden building, for which he obtained the right to use one of the rooms as an inn.
The settlement of Łódź was at the Piotrków route towards Piotrków Trybunalski and served the customs chamber on the Ostroga River.
However, he allowed all customs duties to be collected by the bishop of Włocławek and he was supposed to pay the lease to the king.
It is near this settlement that the oldest parish of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was created in Łódź.
It is believed that it was erected between 1364 and 1371 by the Archbishop of Gniezno Jarosław Bogoria Skotnicki and until 1885 it was the only parish in Łódź.
It was on the right side of the Ostroga River, which was later called the Łódka and was opposite to the settlement of Lodz.
Then they began to be called Nadrzeczna, later Podrzeczna, and finally Drewnowska, apparently, the latter name was given to the influential Drewnowicz family from Łódź.
The 17th and 18th centuries were a turbulent period in the history of Poland, and also the time of the fall of Łódź.
end of the 18th century the town had only 190 inhabitants and only 44 houses, all buildings were wooden, no road was paved.
In the second decade of the 19th century, the area of it's urban development, later the Old Town, was small and amounted to 20 ha.
It was characterized by a network of narrow streets, leaving slightly obliquely from the Market Square and enclosing buildings in small, irregular blocks.
The central part of the layout was marked by a market square, separated by an inter-market block from the square where the church stood.
The whole town development was limited to housing these squares and the initial sections of eight streets, some of which crossed the road to nearby cities and took their names from them.
Dense building development occurred only at the Market Square and along the market streets: Drewnowska, Podrzeczna, Nadstawna and Kościelna (known until the end of the first half of the 19th century as Piotrkowska).
In the 1815 treaty, it was planned to renew the dilapidated town and with the 1816 decree by the Czar a number of German immigrants received territory deeds for them to clear the land and to build factories and housing.
At that time, abolition of customs border between Congress Poland and the Russian Empire had a very important economic and political stimulus for the development of the textile industry in the Poland and the huge opportunities associated with it.
It was not created through its evolution functional or by gradual reconstruction of the medieval layout design for new industrial needs.
Rajmund Rembieliński in 1820 personally designated a place on the market for the new settlement and defined the direction of future streets.
He chose the culmination of the local hill through which he went along the Piotrków route ran along which several local roads converged.
The new settlement had assumed to be separate, though officially still a part of an existing city, therefore it was necessary to keep as far as possible integration, which was best provided by the new one Piotrków route, connecting the areas on both sides of the river in the shortest line.
Polish Air Force and anti-aircraft artillery, which were insufficient in quantity and strength, were not able to effectively counteract the brutal attacks of the enemy.
On September 5, German troops smashed both wings of the Łódź Army during the Battle of Łódź and opened their way to the city.
Military and state authorities - headed by voivode Henryk Józefski and the town staroste Henryk Mostowski, self-government with president Jan Kwapiński and the police left the city as well, and on the night of 4-5 September the evacuation of offices and institutions began a process which lasted until noon on September 6.
On September 6, an organizational meeting of the Citizens' Committee of the City of Łódź took place in the City Hall at Wolności Square 14.
Matters of security and public order passed into the hands of the Citizens' Militia, which had been operating as an organization to fight usury and sabotage since 27 August and was now subordinated to the committee.
On September 14, the Committee moved its headquarters from the City Hall building to the premises of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry at 3 Kościuszki Avenue.
This was dictated by the desire to separate from the Germans, who located the Commandant's Office and the police in the building of the City Hall.
State offices were subordinated to the head of the Civil Administration at the command of the 8th Army, Dr. Harry von Craushaar.
The position of the Citizens' Committee prof. Zygmunt Lorentz, member of the Presidium and first secretary of the Committee, and has been acting as the temporary government that was set up to handle city affairs following the collapse of the government was getting more and more difficult.
The Nazi authorities, which gave Łódź the status of a separate city, divided the city into four administrative districts, and seven more were created in suburban areas.
Streets in the city were given new, german names: One of the main streets in the city, Piotrkowska Street was renamed Adolf-Hitler-Straße.
The previous coat of arms of Łódź - the golden boat in the red background, has been changed to a golden swastika on a navy blue background, and the city colors from gold-red to navy blue, the colors of the Litzmann family.
Pursuant to October decrees of Hitler on the incorporation of western Polish territories to the Reich and the creation of the General Government from other Polish territories, on October 25 the military administration of the Supreme German Command in the East was liquidated.
Initially, Łódź was not only to remain within the General Government, to which it was incorporated on October 26, but it was also selected as the capital of this occupation formation.
In the new conditions, there was no question of the existence, even of a purely formal one, of any Polish organizations or institutions.
On October 8th, a propaganda demonstration of the German population to celebrate the occupation of the city and Łódź Germans from national captivity took place at the City Theater on Cegielniana Street (today Jaracza Street).
September 14, 1939, when the provisions of the head of the civil management came into force, issued by Harry von Craushaar, SS-Brigadeführer at the 8th Army on the closure of bank accounts, deposits and safes belonging to Jews, and about banning them from storing cash of over a thousand marks, which initiated the elimination of Jews from economic life in the city.
Craushaar's ordinance of October 13, 1939 was to normalize and legalize the forced employment of the Jewish people, setting a daily limit of men supplied by the Jewish community for labor work.
Further regulations, including the order issued on November 11, 1939 by the city commissioner marking Jewish shops with inscriptions in German and Polish, facilitated the confiscation of Jewish private property.
This was done by soldiers, members of Selbstschutz recruited from locals volksdeutsch as well as police officers who robbed shops and premises Polish and Jewish organizations.
On December 11 Governor of Warta Country Arthur Greiser changed this ordinance to the obligation to wear a Star of David on the right side of the chest and on the back.
The post-war change of political and economic system meant introduction centrally planned socialist economy and political and economic integration to the USSR.
For Łódź, this meant the re-opening of the eastern market and further development of the textile industry, mainly cotton and wool.
New housing estates where built in large scale to accommodate the large growth of the new residents who moved to the city.
Two days after Łódź was captured by the Red Army an operational group came to town with Ignacy Loga-Sowiński as the representative of the Provisional Government.
At the beginning of its existence, councilors were delegated to it on a parity basis (PPR and PPS were represented by 20 councilors each, SD by 10, SL by 5, 12 for the trade unions, 9 for the socio-cultural organizations and 2 for the youth organizations).
The chairman of the Council was the president of Łódź Kazimierz Mijal, his deputy Jan Stefan Haneman (PPS), and the members of the presidium: Lucjan Głowacki, Artur Kopacz (SD) and Eugeniusz Stawiński.
City Hall () was moved to the now expanded Juliusz Heinzel Palace in 104 Piotrkowska Street while the Izrael Poznanski Palace was the seat of the Presidium of the Voivodeship National Council of Lodz (.
Most central offices were temporarily relocated to Łódź, mainly due to the lack of damage in the city, unlike massive destruction of Warsaw.
In the 1940s and 1950s, Łódź was changing rapidly - the area of the city was increased four times, the lack of damage attracted new residents (in 1951 already 646,000), the industry was nationalized and its industry structure changed.
Already in 1945, the University of Lodz, the Lodz University of Technology, the State Music Conversatorium, the School of Fine Arts, the University of Rural Economy and the only Textile Institute in Poland were created, and in 1948 the famous State Film School (today's State Film School, TV and Theater).
It caused an increase in the importance of the services sector, including services of metropolitan (regional) significance, forced the restructuring of industry and the creation of special economic zones, which over time attracted new investors.
In 2010, the reconstruction of the downtown near the Łódź Fabryczna station began, along with the construction of the so-called 90 ha area.
As always shown in its end credits, the show is conceptualized by Daniel Razon in response to the Department of Education's challenge to upgrade Filipino children's literacy through a high standard educational TV program.
Each participating school per week is also visited by one of the two hosts to have a closer look at what their schools have to offer.
During the season-ender episodes, both hosts together with the production crew visit the schools and homes of the season champions to provide the viewers a glimpse and closer look on why they are deserving to win the show's respective season.
Every participating school sends two representatives to the show, preferably students who are within the last two years of elementary and high school stay.
In short, they send a Grade 5 and 6 tandem in the Elementary Division while a Junior and Senior tandem (3rd Year and 4th Year, respectively) is being sent in the High School Division.
In the event that any of the two original representatives cannot compete, the school is advised to prepare an alternate consisting of two students of each respective year or grade level.
If the alternate wins with his/her teammate and the original contestant are fit enough to compete again, the alternate shall remain as the contestant competing for his/her school.
These are the second-highest scoring teams per stage, which in the weekly rounds are likewise considered regardless of the ranking they have placed in their episode.
In the event of a tie after the conclusion of every episode, Knockout Questions are asked by the quizmasters themselves which do not require the teams looking at the game board.
There were cases wherein a Wildcard entry spot has to fill, thus a best-of-5 series format was installed where the highest-scoring team secured such spot.
The show features a game board consisting of 12 different categories, 7 academic and 5 non-academic/practical/beyond curricular, each with 2 questions for a total of 24 questions.
Beginning the second season, 6 of the 12 categories are marked with a red and yellow border indicating that the second question is worth 20 points.
This was done in light of the success of the first season and to level up the gaming field with tougher questions.
The team who guesses this correctly earns additional points which will help them in securing a spot in the next round.
The quizmasters read a total of 3 clues involving the personality, but are only read once every 4th and 8th tile is open.
There were some occasions when this rule was not followed, hence, the quizmasters were given the freedom to choose when to read them.
60 points are awarded to the team who guesses the personality correctly with 1-4 tiles of the game board open, 40 if 5-8, or 20 if 9-12.
All of their buzzers are automatically locked, meaning that whoever buzzes first will be acknowledged by the quizmasters despite numerous attempts of the other schools to try pressing the buzzer.
The other teams will be acknowledged if the first team who buzzes says a wrong answer or runs out of time answering the question.
Teams will only be given one chance to answer the question, which goes by the rule: the first answer is the final answer.
For every category, 20 seconds is allotted for answering the question while 10 seconds is given when a team buzzes in and still doesn't have an answer.
There is also a technical committee, headed by the quiz show writer, where the quizmasters or even members of the audience can refer to when there are clarifications or protests concerning the overall gameplay of the episode.
The show has always reiterated that coaching from the audience or even looking at other teams while the game is ongoing isn't allowed which puts the school and team at risk for disqualification.
This is given to recognize the elementary and high school team's academic and beyond-curricular achievement in successfully winning all 3 stages of the show.
The 2020 Qatar Women's T20I Triangular Series was a women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) cricket tournament that took place at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha, Qatar from 17 to 21 January 2020.
Matches in the series had official WT20I games as per ICC's announcement that full WT20I status would apply to all the matches played between women's teams of associate members after 1 July 2018.
The participants were originally announced to be the women's national sides of Qatar, China, Kuwait and Oman, playing in a quadrangular round-robin event followed by semi-finals and a final.
However, on the first day of the event, the tournament was changed to a triangular series with China withdrawn at short notice and a new schedule was announced.
Kuwait recovered from losing to Oman in the last round-robin match by defeating the same opponents in the final by a comfortable margin of 7 wickets.

Holt of the British Admiralty and built by British boatbuilder Fairmile Marine, during the Second World War 80 Fairmile B motor launches were built in Canada for service with the Coastal Forces of the RCN.
Built of double mahogany (diagonally) with an eight-inch oak keel and based on a line of destroyer hulls, the Fairmiles arrived in prefabricated kits to be assembled for the RCN by 13 different boatyards.
In contrast to the British built boats, the Canadian Fairmiles were narrower, had a greater draught, and were slightly more powerful giving the Canadian boats a two knot speed advantage over the British boats.
With a fuel capacity of 2,320 gallons of 87 octane gasoline, the early Fairmiles (Q050 to Q111) were powered by two 650 hp engines, could reach a top speed of 20 knots (max), 16.5 knots sea speed and a range of 1925 miles at 7.5 knots.
Later versions (Q112 to Q129) were fitted with larger 700 hp engines able to achieve a top speed to 22 knots (max), with a range of 1925 miles at 7.5 knots.
Another unique design feature of the Fairmile B was that with 48 hours notice each boat could be reconfigured to serve in a different role.
Fitted with steel strips and tapped holes to ease equipment swaps, weapons and specialist gear such as torpedo tubes, mines, depth charges, and guns could be quickly stripped and attached to the boat.
In two days, a Fairmile could have it's weapons and equipment reconfigured to serve as an escort, minesweeper, minelayer, navigation leader, coastal raider, patrol boat, ambulance or rescue launch.

In mathematics, and especially differential and algebraic geometry, K-stability is an algebro-geometric stability condition, in the sense of geometric invariant theory, for complex manifolds and complex algebraic varieties.
More generally, on any compact complex manifold, K-stability is conjectured to be equivalent to the existence of constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics (cscK metrics).
In 1954 Eugenio Calabi formulated a conjecture about the existence of Kähler metrics on compact Kähler manifolds, now known as the Calabi conjecture.
One formulation of the conjecture is that a compact Kähler manifold formula_1 admits a unique Kähler-Einstein metric in the class formula_2.
The Calabi conjecture was resolved in the case where formula_4 by Thierry Aubin and Shing-Tung Yau, and when formula_3 by Yau.
Namely, it was known by work of Yozo Matsushima and André Lichnerowicz that a Kähler manifold with formula_6 can only admit a Kähler-Einstein metric if the Lie algebra formula_9 is reductive.
As proved by Donaldson, the theorem states that a holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Riemann surface is stable if and only if it corresponds to an irreducible unitary Yang-Mills connection.
On a Riemann surface such a connection is projectively flat, and its holonomy gives rise to a projective unitary representation of the fundamental group of the Riemann surface, thus recovering the original statement of the theorem by Narasimhan and Seshadri.
During the 1980s this theorem was generalised through the work of Donaldson, Uhlenbeck-Yau, and Li-Yau to the Kobayashi–Hitchin correspondence, which relates stable holomorphic vector bundles to Hermitian-Einstein connections over arbitrary compact complex manifolds.
A key observation in the setting of holomorphic vector bundles is that once a holomorphic structure is fixed, any choice of Hermitian metric gives rise to a unitary connection, the Chern connection.
Prompted by this, in 1993 Yau was motivated to conjecture the existence of a Kähler-Einstein metric on a Fano manifold should be equivalent to some form of algebro-geometric stability condition on the variety itself, just as the existence of a Hermitian-Einstein metric on a holomorphic vector bundle is equivalent to its stability.
Several years later Donaldson introduced an algebraic condition described in this article called K-stability, which makes sense on any polarised variety, and is equivalent to Tian's analytic definition in the case of the polarised variety formula_11 where formula_1 is Fano.
In this section we work over the complex numbers formula_13, but the essential points of the definition apply over any field.
A polarised variety is a pair formula_14 where formula_1 is a complex algebraic variety and formula_16 is an ample line bundle on formula_1.
In geometric invariant theory, the Hilbert–Mumford criterion shows that to test the stability of a point formula_21 in an projective algebraic variety formula_22 under the action of a reductive algebraic group formula_23, it is enough to consider the one parameter subgroups (1-PS) of formula_24.
This is a fixed point of the action of the 1-PS formula_28, and so the line over formula_21 in the affine space formula_30 is preserved by the action of formula_28.
If one wishes to define a notion of stability for varieties, the Hilbert-Mumford criterion therefore suggests it is enough to consider one parameter deformations of the variety.
We say that a test configuration formula_47 is a product configuration if formula_67, and a trivial configuration if the formula_32 action on formula_67 is trivial on the first factor.
To define a notion of stability analogous to the Hilbert-Mumford criterion, one needs a concept of weight on the fibre over formula_70 of a test configuration formula_71 for a polarised variety formula_14.
By definition this family comes equipped with an action of formula_32 covering the action on the base, and so the fibre of the test configuration over formula_63 is fixed.
By definition an action of formula_32 on a polarised scheme comes with an action of formula_32 on the ample line bundle formula_79, and therefore induces an action on the vector spaces formula_80 for all integers formula_81.
This is the same as the weight of the induced action of formula_32 on the one dimensional vector space formula_92 where formula_93.
Define the weight function of the test configuration formula_58 to be the function formula_95 where formula_95 is the total weight of the formula_32 action on the vector space formula_98 for each non-negative integer formula_99.
Whilst the function formula_95 is not a polynomial in general, it becomes a polynomial of degree formula_101 for all formula_102 for some fixed integer formula_103, where formula_104.
Recall that the Hilbert polynomial formula_54 satisfies the equality formula_106 for all formula_107 for some fixed integer formula_108, and is a polynomial of degree formula_109.
The Donaldson-Futaki invariant does not change if formula_16 is replaced by a positive power formula_118, and so in the literature K-stability is often discussed using formula_119-line bundles.
Initially it was presumed one should just ignore trivial test configurations as defined above, whose Donaldson-Futaki invariant always vanishes, but it was observed by Li and Xu that more care is needed in the definition.
One elegant way of defining K-stability is given by Székelyhidi using the norm of a test configuration, which we first describe.
Similarly to the polynomials formula_95 and formula_54, the function formula_127 is a polynomial for large enough integers formula_19, in this case of degree formula_129.
According to the analogy with the Hilbert-Mumford criterion, once one has a notion of deformation (test configuration) and weight on the central fibre (Donaldson-Futaki invariant), one can define a stability condition, called K-stability.
K-stability was originally introduced as an algebro-geometric condition which should characterise the existence of a Kähler-Einstein metric on a Fano manifold.
In the more general setting of a polarised variety formula_14, K-stability is conjectured to capture the existence of a cscK metric.
For arbitrary polarised varieties it was proven by Stoppa, also using work of Arrezo and Pacard, that the existence of a cscK metric implies K-polystability.
This is in some sense the easy direction of the conjecture, as it assumes the existence of a solution to a difficult partial differential equation, and arrives at the comparatively easy algebraic result.
The significant challenge is to prove the reverse direction, that a purely algebraic condition implies the existence of a solution to a PDE.
It has been known since the original work of Deligne and Mumford that smooth algebraic curves are asymptotically stable in the sense of geometric invariant theory, and in particular that they are K-stable.
Namely, every smooth curve admits a Kähler-Einstein metric of constant scalar curvature either formula_152 in the case of the projective line formula_153, formula_70 in the case of elliptic curves, or formula_155 in the case of compact Riemann surfaces of genus formula_156.
In the toric setting many of the complicated definitions of K-stability simplify to be given by data on the moment polytope formula_157 of the polarised toric variety formula_158.
Any such toric test configuration can be elegantly described by a convex function on the moment polytope, and Donaldson originally defined K-stability for such convex functions.
where formula_164 is the Lebesgue measure on formula_157, formula_166 is the canonical measure on the boundary of formula_157 arising from its description as a moment polytope (if an edge of formula_157 is given by a linear inequality formula_169 for some affine linear functional h on formula_170 with integer coefficients, then formula_171), and formula_172.
We say a convex function on formula_157 is piecewise-linear if it can be written as a maximum formula_179 for some affine linear functionals formula_180.
Notice that by the definition of the constant formula_181, the Donaldson-Futaki invariant formula_182 is invariant under the addition of an affine linear functional, so we may always take one of the formula_183 to be the constant function formula_70.
We say a convex function is simple piecewise-linear if it is a maximum of two functions, and so is given by formula_185 for some affine linear function formula_186, and simple rational piecewise-linear if formula_186 has rational cofficients.
Such a result is powerful in so far as it is possible to readily compute the Donaldson-Futaki invariants of such simple test configurations, and therefore computationally determine when a given toric surface is K-stable.
An example of a K-unstable manifold is given by the toric surface formula_188, the first Hirzebruch surface, which is the blow up of the complex projective plane at a point, with respect to the polarisation given by formula_189, where formula_190 is the blow up and formula_191 the exceptional divisor.
It is possible to use geometric invariant theory directly to obtain other notions of stability for varieties that are closely related to K-stability.
Take a polarised variety formula_14 with Hilbert polynomial formula_203, and fix an formula_204 such that formula_118 is very ample with vanishing higher cohomology.
The pair formula_206 can then be identified with a point in the Hilbert scheme of subschemes of formula_207 with Hilbert polynomial formula_208.
This Hilbert scheme can be embedded into projective space as a subscheme of a Grassmannian (which is projective via the Plücker embedding).
The general linear group formula_209 acts on this Hilbert scheme, and two points in the Hilbert scheme are equivalent if and only if the corresponding polarised varieties are isomorphic.
This construction depends on a choice of formula_204, so one says a polarised variety is asymptotically Hilbert stable if it is stable with respect to this embedding for all formula_211 sufficiently large, for some fixed formula_212.
There is another projective embedding of the Hilbert scheme called the Chow embedding, which provides a different linearisation of the Hilbert scheme and therefore a different stability condition.
and so K-stability is in some sense the limit of Chow stability as the dimension of the projective space formula_1 is embedded in approaches infinity.
It was originally predicted by Yau that the correct notion of stability for varieties should be analogous to slope stability for vector bundles.
It was shown by Ross and Thomas that any test configuration is essentially obtained by blowing up the variety formula_225 along a sequence of formula_32 invariant ideals, supported on the central fibre.
In the special case where this flag of subschemes is of length one, the Donaldson-Futaki invariant can be easily computed and one arrives at slope K-stability.
The pair formula_14 is slope K-semistable if for all proper subschemes formula_236, formula_263 for all formula_256 (one can also define slope K-stability and slope K-polystability by requiring this inequality to be strict, with some extra technical conditions).
In the case of vector bundles it is enough to consider only single subsheaves, but for varieties it is necessary to consider flags of length greater than one also.
Despite this, slope K-stability can still be used to identify K-unstable varieties, and therefore by the results of Stoppa, give obstructions to the existence of cscK metrics.
For example, Ross and Thomas use slope K-stability to show that the projectivisation of an unstable vector bundle over a K-stable base is K-unstable, and so does not admit a cscK metric.
This is a converse to results of Hong, which show that the projectivisation of a stable bundle over a base admitting a cscK metric, also admits a cscK metric, and is therefore K-stable.
Work of Apostolov-Calderbank-Gauduchon-Tønnesen-Friedman shows the existence of a manifold which does not admit any extremal metric, but does not appear to be destabilised by any test configuration.
This suggests that the definition of K-stability as given here may not be precise enough to imply the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture in general.
It was proven by David Witt Nyström that a filtration is finitely generated if and only if it arises from a test configuration, and by Székelyhidi that any filtration is a limit of finitely generated filtrations.
Combining these results Székelyhidi observed that the example of Apostolov-Calderbank-Gauduchon-Tønnesen-Friedman would not violate the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture if K-stability was replaced by filtration K-stability.

Santiago Andrés Cafiero (born 30 August 1979) is an Argentine political scientist and politician, currently serving as Chief of the Cabinet of Ministers under President Alberto Fernández, since 10 December 2019.
Santiago Andrés Cafiero was born on 30 August 1979 in San Isidro, in Buenos Aires Province, son of Juan Pablo Cafiero, who was Minister of Social Development during the presidency of Fernando de la Rúa in 2001, and María Luisa Bianchi.
Cafiero's grandfather Antonio Cafiero held many important political posts, including the governorship of Buenos Aires, and also briefly served as Chief of the Cabinet of Ministers under Eduardo Camaño.
Cafiero studied Political Science at the University of Buenos Aires and then went on to receive a Master's Degree on public policy from Torcuato di Tella University.
Cafiero was elected president of the local Justicialist Party in his native San Isidro in 2008, and was the party's mayoral candidate in 2011 and 2015.
During the governorship of Daniel Scioli in Buenos Aires, Cafiero worked as a consultant in the Subsecretariat of Municipal Affairs (2007–2008), and then went on to serve as the Province's Director of Industry from 2008 to 2010, Subsecretary of Industry, Commerce and Mining from 2010 to 2011, Vice-minister of Social Development and Subsecretary of Social Policies from 2011 to 2014, and Subsecretary of Modernization from 2014 to 2015.
On 6 December 2019, in the official announcement of his incoming cabinet's composition, President-elect Fernández named Cafiero as his chief of cabinet, a post he assumed on 10 December 2019.

Antonia Navarro Huezo (San Salvador, 10 August 1870 - 22 December 1891) was a topographic engineer and teacher from El Salvador.
She was the first woman in Central America to graduate from university, earning a PhD from the University of El Salvador in 1889.
The family was intellectual and despite the death of her father in 1878, her desire for educated continued to be supported by an uncle.
In 1887, she presented herself at the Faculty of Engineering at the University of El Salvador to study for her degree.
Huezo progressed quickly and excelled in all the classes - just two years later she was awarded a PhD in Engineering in 1889.
Huezo's thesis defence and the award of a degree was national news and the president of El Salvador General Francisco Menéndez congratulated her in person and organised a celebratory concert.
However, despite being the first woman to graduate from university in El Salvador, she was not allowed to teach there and instead was posted to teach younger women in San Sa'vador's high school.
St. James' Episcopal Church, or St. James’ in-the-City, as it is commonly called, to distinguish it from the St. James' Episcopal Church in South Pasadena, is a historic Episcopal church, located in the Wilshire Center area of Los Angeles, California, between Koreatown and Hancock Park.
in 1914, Los Angeles Boy Scout Troop 10, the oldest continuously-sponsored Boy Scout troop in the United States, was founded under the parish’s auspices and remains under its sponsorship today.
The early parish boundaries stretched from Western Avenue to the Pacific Ocean but moved inland later when new episcopal parishes were founded in Beverly Hills, Westwood and the Pacific Palisades.
The current church building was designed by Benjamin McDougall, a renowned San Francisco Bay area architect, in Gothic Revival style, and built in 1925-26 on a lot on Wilshire Boulevard, bought originally by Rev.
The floor is paved with ceramic tiles that bear the same Celtic cross motif as the floors of the nearby Immanuel Presbyterian Church.
Besides traditional religious scenes of saints and biblical figures, the windows depict motives symbolic of the times when the windows were installed: a movie camera, the Apollo moonwalk, freeway lanes, downtown Los Angeles skyline, the Korean flag, Latino immigrants.
In 1965, the funeral of Nat King Cole who was a parishioner of St. James’, took place at the church, and was attended by Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, Robert F. Kennedy, Pat Brown (the governor of California), and other prominent people.
In 1994, a new parish hall and office complex, designed by architect Johannes Van Tilburg, was added to the church, and a columbarium was built in the chapel.
The Murray Harris organ was acquired from St. Paul's Cathedral in downtown Los Angeles where it had been kept in storage after the church's demolition in 1980 due to earthquake damage.
St. James' church has also been featured in music videos for Tyrese and Ariana Grande, in television pilots and TV shows, such as Germany's Top Model, Mad Men and West Wing, and in the films Death Becomes Her and End of Days.
General ranks above the Three Star rank of Lieutenant General and below the Five Star rank of Field Marshal, which is largely a war-time or ceremonial rank.
A General may be referred to as a Full General or Four Star General to distinguish them from lower General Officer ranks like Lieutenant General and Major General.
After the creation of the post of Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), and the appointment of General Bipin Rawat as the first CDS on 1st January 2020, there are two serving Full Generals for the first time in Independent India.
The current Generals in the Indian Armed Forces are the CDS General Bipin Rawat and the COAS General Manoj Mukund Naravane.
Appointments to the office of CDS and COAS are made by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC), which is chaired by the Prime Minister of India.
The term length of the Chief of Defence Staff is three years or until the age of 65 of the holder, whichever is earlier.
12 on the Indian order of precedence, along with the Chiefs of Staff of the Indian Navy and Indian Air Force.
All official twenty over matches between Associate members of the ICC were eligible to have full Twenty20 International (T20I) or Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status, as the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted T20I status to matches between all of its members from 1 July 2018 (women's teams) and 1 January 2019 (men's teams).
The season included all T20I/WT20I cricket series involving ICC Associate members, that were of lesser notability than series covered in International cricket in 2020.

The 2020 AFF Championship will be the 13th edition of the AFF Championship, the football championship of nations affiliated to the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF), and the 7th under the name AFF Suzuki Cup.
The tournament was scheduled in a way to avoid scheduling conflict with the joint 2022 FIFA World Cup-2023 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers with some Southeast Asian national teams expected to still taking part in.
In the group stage of the competition proper, ten teams will be drawn in two groups of five with each team playing home-and-away matches against each other.
The Leaders of the Russian Civil War listed below comprise the important political and military figures of the Russian Civil War.
In addition to the two primary factions, the war also involved a number of third parties, including the anarchists of the Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of Ukraine, and the non-ideological Green Armies.
Unlike the Bolsheviks and the White Movement, the various third party factions which took part in the conflict did not form a united front, and often fought against each other as much as they fought against the larger belligerents, occasionally forming alliances when convenient, and breaking them almost as often.
For instance, the Black Army fought alongside the Bolsheviks against the forces of Anton Denikin in South Russia, while the members of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party frequently cooperated with the White Army.
A number of foreign nations also intervened against the Bolsheviks for various reasons, including the principal Allied Powers of World War I, and their German and Austro-Hungarian opponents.
In addition, a number of independence movements took the opportunity to break free from Russian control in the aftermath of the collapse of the Russian Empire, primarily fighting against the Bolsheviks, as well as against the White Army on occasion.

This was followed by positions at the Wrocław Opera (1923/24), the Staatsoper Unter den Linden (1924/25), at the Prague State Opera (1925-27), at the Staatstheater Stuttgart (1927-29) and the Staatstheater Nürnberg (1929-33).
The day of the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses, two months after the seizure of power by the National Socialists in 1933, the singer was informed that he was no longer allowed to perform with immediate effect.
He first went back to Rzeszów and then to Czechoslovakia, where he was engaged for two years (1933-35) at the municipal theatre of Aussig.
The couple had at least three children, all born in Stuttgart: Mario (born 1925 or 1926), Eva (also Ewa, born 1930) and Ludwig (also Ludvik, born in 1931 or 1932).
According to Danny Newman, an in-laws relative, Horner was shot along with his younger son while trying to protect his son from the Nazis who murdered the other family members in a gas truck.
His name can be found on a commemorative plaque for Nazi victims in the Staatstheater Stuttgart, which was unveiled on April 7, 2016 by Minister together with the director of the Staatstheater.

A New York native, Soli was introduced to the art world at a very young age by growing up in a household made up of collectors, as well as visiting weekly history classes at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Her early career began at the age of fifteen, garnering experience with a number of auction houses, museums and galleries including Phillips, Sotheby’s, Marlborough Gallery and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia.
At age twenty five, Soli became a Director of the New York flagship of Galleries Bartoux, an international gallery with over 15 locations worldwide.
Two years later, She left to work as a private advisor for distinguished collectors across the globe before launching her new venture, LUSH Art Agency.
Following that, she went on to tour for 3 months across Japan, and went on to play for important audiences including The Clintons, The Royal Family of Spain and The United Nations.
That year, they promoted the album at Lincoln Center where Soli & Alen received a standing ovation and sold out the show.
Since then, Soli played at important venues such as Madison Square Garden, The Library of Congress, Carnegie Hall and the Royal Palace in London.

Chancellor Kurz himself is the youngest member of his own government, and--for the second time--the youngest chief executive of any of the EU's member states.
The new political alliance is closely watched in Europe (especially in Germany) because it could become the prototype for a new type of politics in which ascendant conservatives make common cause with green parties to tackle climate change, which has become a salient concern of voters in Europe and elsewhere, and is no longer an issue only for green party supporters, who are disproportionately young and urban.
Kurz himself hopes to propel Austria to the forefront in the fight against climate change and professes the belief that the protection of the environment and protection of the country's borders (the ÖVP's signature issue) are both possible, and can be pursued while at the same time reducing taxes and keeping the budget balanced.
June 2019 to run Austria following the collapse of the first Austrian government led by Sebastian Kurz in the wake of the Ibiza scandal involving his coalition partner, the far-right Freedom Party.
The termination of the coalition of Sebastian Kurz's ÖVP with the FPÖ was followed by a vote of no confidence in parliament and a snap election in September 2019, in which voter support for the FPÖ dropped sharply and support for the Green Party surged to nearly 14%, its highest level ever.
Although the OeVP won the election, it did not achieve a parliamentary majority in the National Council, and therefore had to look for a junior coalition partner.
With two coalition variants with other parties (first the SPÖ, then the FPÖ) already having failed, Kurz turned to the Greens.
The youthfulness of the government also mirrors a younger electorate, Austria having lowered the voting age to 16, the lowest in Europe.
Not only was it a government of nonpartisan experts, it was also the first government headed by a woman, with a membership of six men and six women.
Sebastian Kurz, leader of the centre-right ÖVP, reached an agreement on a coalition with the centre-left Greens at the end of 2019, putting him on track to become Chancellor of Austria for the second time, and Werner Kogler, leader of the Greens, Vice Chancellor.
This marked a breakthrough for the Green Party as it would be represented in the executive branch of the Austrian government at the national level for the first time.
The Greens had previously participated unsuccessfully in coalition talks at the national level, and had served as coalition partners in several state governments.
The novel form of a political partnership paved the way for the ÖVP to maintain its hard line on immigration, but also put Austria on the forefront of the fight against climate change, with a Green minister in charge of that portfolio, and an action plan towards carbon neutrality on a pace faster than the rest of the EU.
Unlike Kurz, Kogler had to obtain the approval of his rank and file to enter the coalition government on the terms spelled out in the formal coalition agreement that the two party leaders had finalized and announced on New Year's Day.
This was required by the charter of the Green Party, which reflects its founders' commitment to grassroots democracy, while the ÖVP is more hierarchical and dominated by its constituent organizations in the corporatist tradition.
On 4 January 2020, more than 93 percent of the delegates at a special Green Party Congress convened in Salzburg backed the deal hammered out by the negotiating teams of the two parties and their leaders in more than two months of bargaining that covered the full spectrum of public policies, rather than just environmental issues.
In the floor debate, misgivings were expressed about too many concessions having been made in reaching a deal on a joint government program that both parties, and their respective supporters in the electorate, can live with.
They deplored the Greens' yielding on core humanitarian principles, and legitimizing the degradation of human dignity by the political right, and the differential treatment of different religions.
Assuming responsibility for governing the country with the ÖVP offered the Greens an opportunity to participate directly in the shaping of the future course of public policy for the very first time.
Kogler expressed hope to set an example for the rest of Europe with Green and Conservative parties working together in the fight against climate change, as opposed to remaining merely on the sidelines as an opposition party in parliament, which he allowed would have been easier.
In a separate floor vote, the Green rank and file approved the slate of Green ministers already designated unanimously by the party's expanded executive committee, with only one vote against and one abstention.

Velma Linford (May 30, 1907 – May 25, 2002) was an American educator, author, and politician who served as the 12th Wyoming Superintendent of Public Instruction as a Democrat.
She attended Star Valley High School where she graduated in 1926 and then attended the University of Wyoming where she earned a bachelor's degree in 1930 and then a master's degree in 1934.
In 1949 she was elected as National Education Association director for Wyoming at its convention in Boston, Massachusetts and on July 8, 1953 she was named to the eleven member executive committee of the organization.
On June 12, 1946 she filed to run for the Democratic nomination for Superintendent of Public Instruction and after winning the nomination was narrowly defeated by Edna B. Stolt.
On June 10, 1954 she announced that she would seek the Democratic nomination for Superintendent of Public Instruction and after winning the nomination without opposition narrowly defeated Ray E. Robertson in the general election.
In 1959 she was one of sixty people in the Atlantic Congress representing 15 NATO countries that met in London and drafted the Atlantic charter for free people.
On June 18, 1962 she announced that she would seek a third term, but was narrowly defeated in the general election by Cecil Shaw by 737 votes.
On May 31, 1960 she announced that she would seek the Democratic nomination for Senator, but was narrowly defeated in the primary by Raymond B. Whitaker who went on to lose to Representative Edwin Keith Thomson.
In 1968 she announced that she would seek the Democratic nomination for Wyoming's at-large congressional district, but was defeated in a landslide by John S. Wold.
In 1966 she accepted a position in VISTA and oversaw the VISTA program in the Wind River Indian Reservation and recruited volunteers.
She died on May 25, 2002 in Salt Lake City, Utah and was then interred in Afton Cemetery in Afton, Wyoming.
Magnús Þórhallsson was an Icelandic priest who was one of two scribes (the other being Jón Þórðarson) who wrote the manuscript Flateyjarbók for Jón Hákonarson.
Magnús was responsible for the second part of the manuscript after Jón Þórðarson left Iceland for Norway in the spring of 1388.
A priest named Magnús Þórhallsson, assumed to be the same person, is the first witness named in two letters written on 2 April 1387 concerning land purchased by Þorsteinn Snorrason, abbot of Helgafell.
In addition to his work on manuscripts from Helgafell, Magnús is associated with the Munkaþverá scriptorium and possibly also the secular scriptorium at Víðidalstunga, naer Þingeyrar.
In light of his early work, Drechsler has suggested that he may have begun his career as a Benedictine monk at Munkaþverá.
Stefán Karlsson has suggested that Magnús wrote, at least in part, the lost manuscript Vatnshyrna, also commissioned by Jón Hákonarson, based on the similarities in scribal habits between Flateyjarbók and the copy of Vatnshyrna made by Árni Magnússon.
Willie Kizart (January 4, 1932 – September 2, 1998) was an American electric blues guitarist best known for being a member of Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm in the 1950s.
Since childhood, Kizart was exposed to various Delta Blues musicians who performed at his father's cafe in Glendora, which became well-known for its blues music.
During the drive to the studio, Kizart's amplifier was damaged on Highway 61 after being dropped from the car's trunk when the band got a flat tire.
Turner and the band were only paid $20 each for the record with the exception of Brenston who sold the rights to Phillips for $910.
Following the success of the record, Brenston left the band to pursue a solo career and Turner disbanded the Kings of Rhythm for a few years.
Faith L. Babb OBE was a member of the House of Representatives of Belize representing Collet from 1993 to 1998, for the United Democratic Party.
She was Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and Minister of State of Youth Development and Human Resources during this period.
She was an executive member of the National Women's Commission which brought about the creation of a women's department in the government, replacing the previous women's bureau.
When she was elected in Collet in 1993 it was with a majority of just one vote: 951 to 950, with 10 votes for an independent candidate and 3 rejected ballots.
Since January 2020 he has been the president and CEO of Under Armour, when he succeeded the company's founder, Kevin Plank.
Frisk has worked for 30 years in retail and has had senior positions at The North Face and Timberland, before joining the Aldo Group in 2014 as CEO.
He subsequently held senior positions at the Swedish outdoor-apparel maker Peak Performance and at W. L. Gore and Associates, the maker of Gore-Tex fabrics.
In April 2014, Frisk was promoted to coalition president for Outdoor Americas, with responsibility for The North Face, Timberland, JanSport, Lucy Activewear, and Smartwool brands.
Frisk restructured the company, including streamlining its North American operations while expanding overseas, reassessing styles and brands, increasing sales to other chains, establishing new systems and products, increasing research on customers, digitizing the company, and implementing Salesforce.com products to understand and communicate with customers.
In 2017, Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank asked him to become president and chief operating officer of Under Armour; in doing so Plank relinquished his own status as president and also re-filled the COO position, which had not existed at Under Armour since 2015.
The company reorganized so that the heads of revenue, product, marketing, supply chain, and strategy reported to Frisk, who in turn reported to Plank.
Frisk was brought in after Under Armour's two decades of North American growth dipped in 2017, particularly from competition via Nike and Adidas and from changing consumer buying patterns.
In October 2019, Plank announced that Frisk would become Under Armour's CEO in January 2020, while Plank would become executive chairman and brand chief.
Arnold Gohr (12 October 1896 - 23 January 1983) was a German clerical worker who became a trades unionist and activist.
Arnold Gohr was born in Wottnogge (as Otnoga was known before) 1945), a small village at one end of the and alongside the little Lupow river, a short distance inland to the west of Danzig.
Gohr attended the village school in nearby Saviat and then went on to secondary schools, first in Lauenburg and subsequently in Schlawe.
Between 1920 and 1933 Gohr was a member of the , a clerical workers' trades union that was at the liberal end of the political spectrum.
For some years, till 1945, he worked as a and head of department for the Berlin-based , an internationally powerful (at least during its early decades) cartel association dominated by IG Farben and other (for the most part German) multi-national businesses operating in the chemicals and pharmaceuticals sectors.
The new party was intended to represent a broad range of centre-right political opinion and to reduce the risk of another take-over by anti-democtratic forces being facilitated by political divisions among political moderates.
1949 was also the year during which the area administered since May 1945 as the Soviet occupation zone, formally in October of that year, as the Soviet sponsored German Democratic Republic (East Germany).
He then took over from Helmut Brandt as regional CDU party leader for the eastern half of the city, serving in this post till August 1952.
In 1952 the East German government, keen to centralise political power more effectively, abolished a regional tier of government: changes were naturally made to party administrative structures that reflected this.
With the 1948 , which expressly excluded the Soviet zone and the ensuing drama of the eleven month Berlin Blockade, it became clear that perpetuating occupied Germany's postwar status quo was no longer an option.
These arrangements had been imposed in the face of oppopsition from several prominent CDU founding leaders in the east such as Jakob Kaiser , Walther Schreiber and Andreas Hermes.
It turned out that such men had no political future in East Germany, and most soon moved across to the west.
Under the highly centralised power Leninist constitutional structure applied in Soviet dominated central Europe after 1945, political power was concentrated in the ruling party, and within the ruling party on the party central committee.
The position was complicated, by the fact that Volkskammer membership was frequently combined with other more time consuming appointments and memberships which carried greater political weight and influence.

After last season's defeat at the hands of Edinburgh District, the East of Scotland District decided to play its own trial match to better determine its players for the upcoming match against Edinburgh.
The East of Scotland, at the time, picked its players from four leading teams in the area: Aberdeenshire RFC; Abertay RFC; Red Cross Dundee RFC; and St Andrew's University RFC.
The original intention was for the trial match was to be played at Guthrie Junction between an Aberdeenshire/Red Cross side and an Abertay/St Andrew's University side.
St Andrew's University were unwilling to go further north than Dundee for the game; and as a result the Aberdeenshire side did not travel south.

Farnham Mires is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, or SSSI, to the east of the village of Farnham, North Yorkshire, England.
It consists of a spring-fed marshy fen or mire with reeds and sedge, and drier calcareous grassland containing a diverse range of flora.
It has a history of poaching and fox hunting, but since the late 19th century, the attention of botanists has been drawn to its large variety of flowering plants.
In 1856, James Frankland, Thomas Jackson and James Kendrew were sentenced to three, six and four months imprisonment with hard labour, respectively, for poaching at Farnham Mires and for beating those who tried to apprehend them.
It drew the attention of the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union (YNU), who included it in their botanical and zoological excursions of 1885 and 1894.
Some original biodiversity, especially of flora, remains in the southern section of the site, but agricultural improvement has compromised natural flora in the northern section.
That is, it features calcareous grassland with underlying Magnesian Limestone, allowing some rare species of flora to grow in the topsoil, along with some local species.
Note: unless otherwise stated, the photographs in this section are for illustrative purposes only, and were not taken at the Farnham Mires site.
This SSSI was not designated as such for its fauna, the only mention on Natural England's assessment documents being possible rabbit nuisance in 2015.
Therefore the underground aquifers should not be compromised by commercial water extraction, nor should they be contaminated by heavy use of agricultural fertilisers or by industrial pollution.
The calcareous grassland potentially supports a large diversity of plants, but only if maintained to prevent it being overgrown with rank grasses and scrub.
Light winter grazing is recommended, to promote vegetation of varying height, and that in turn will support invertebrates and other wildlife.
Pesticides are discouraged to protect the diverse plant life here, but fertilisers are also discouraged because the protected plants require the naturally poor soil conditions of the calcareous grassland.
When the site was assessed in 2015, the of lowland calcareous grassland was judged to be in favourable condition, but under medium threat risk.
In the same year, the of lowland fen, marsh and swamp (the mire) was judged to be in unfavourable condition and recovering, but to be under a high threat risk.
The cattle grazing in the mire area had maintained it as recommended, opening up the vegetation for growth of a variety of species.
Regarding the proximity of Farnham Mires to nearby sites being considered in 2016 for sand and gravel extraction, the local councils' Minerals and Waste Joint Plan of that year recommended that checks should be made, of potential dust and air impact on this and other local SSSIs.
In 2018 an application to the Environment Agency regarding the development of a poultry or pig unit was accepted for a site within 5,000 metres of Farnham Mires.
There is also a concern that a balance has to be kept between national plans for water management for flora and fauna conservation, plans for commercial use of water and for flood management, and plans for available funds.
Other nearby SSSIs are: Bishop Monkton Ings, Cow Myers, Hack Fall Wood, Hay-a-Park, Mar Field Fen, Quarry Moor and Ripon Parks.

It is an assymetrical, sinuous line, often in an ornamental S curve, usually inspired by natural forms such as plants and flowers, which suggests dynamism and movement.
Curling whiplash lines were usually adapted from natural and vegetal forms, particularly the cyclamen, iris, orchid, thistle, mistletoe, holly, water lily and from the stylized lines of the swan, peacock, dragonfly and butterfly.
In the Art Nouveau period, the whiplash line appeared frequently in furniture design, railings and other ornamental iron work, floor tiles, posters and jewelry.
They are similar to the Arabesque design, used particularly in Islamic art, such as the ceramic tiles of the mosque of Samarkand in Central Asia, They featured prominently in the lavish decoration of the rocaille or rococo style in the early 18th century.
The Belgian architect Victor Horta was among the first to introduce the whiplash curve into Art Nouveau architecture, particularly in the wrought iron stairways and complementary ceramic floors and painted walls of the Hôtel Tassel in Brussels (1892–93).
The French architect Hector Guimard also adapted the curving lines, particularly in the gateway, stairway and interior decoration of the Castel Béranger in Paris (1894–98), and in the edicules over the entrances of the Paris Métro that he designed for the Paris Universal Exposition of 1900.
Guimard also used the curving whiplash line on a large scale on the facade of the house he built for he ceramics manufacturer Coilliot in Lille (1898–1900).
Another major figure using the whiplash form was the furniture designer Louis Majorelle, who incorporated the twisting whiplash line not only into his furniture, but also into cast iron staircase railings, stained glass windows.
The whiplash line in ceramics was also sometimes used for exterior decoration, for example under the peristyle in the courtyard of the Petit Palais in Paris, built for the 1900 Paris Universal Exposition.
The architect Jules Lavirotte covered the facade of several of houses in Paris, particularly the Lavirotte Building on Avenue Rapp, with curling ceramic whiplash designs made by the ceramics firm of Alexandre Bigot.
The use of wrought iron or cast iron in scrolling whiplash forms on doorways, balonies and gratings became one of the prominent features of the Art Nouveau style.
The architect Victor Horta, who had worked on the construction of iron and glass royal greenhouses in Laeken in Belgium, was one of the first to create Art Nouveau ironwork, followed quickly by Hector Guimard, whose iron edibles for the entrances of the Paris Métro became an emblem of the style.
In the posters of Alphonse Mucha and Koloman Moser, it was frequently used to depict women's hair, which became a central motif of the posters.
The line also appeared in decorative paintings, such as the series of wall paintings made by Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh of the Glasgow School.
Her paintings, particularly the White Rose and Red Rose decorative panels (1903), were exhibited at gallery Vienna Secession, where they may have influenced the decorative paintings of Gustav Klimt at the Palais Stoclet made the following year.
Art Nouveau was a comprehensive form of decoration, in which all the elements; furniture, lamps, ironwork, carpets, murals, and glassware, had to be in the same style, or the harmony was broken.
Victor Horta, Hector Guimard, Henry van de Velde and other Art Nouveau architects designed chairs, tables, lamps, carpets, tapestries ceramics and other furnishings with similar curling whiplash lines.
The whiplash line was intended to show the clear break from the eclectic historical styles that had dominated furniture and decoration for most of the 19th century.
Henry Van de Velde and Horta in particular integrated the whiplash lines into their furniture, both in the shapes of desks and tables, the legs, in the brassware handles, and in railings and lamps, as well as in the chairs.
In Belgium the most notable designer using the motif was Gustave Serrurier-Bovy After 1900, the whiplash lines became simpler and more stylised.
In the Glasgow School in Scotland, the motif was used in furniture by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and in highly-stylised glass and paintings by his wife, Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh.
His work often crossed the frontiers between sculpture and decorative art, inspired by the lines of forms ranging from dragonflies to bats to Grecian masks.
He made not only jewelry, but also bronzes, lamps, vases, glassware and other decorative objects, produced mostly for the Belgian firm Val Saint Lambert.

The popularity of Iori Yagami's berserker form first seen in his ending from the same game inspired the idea of Leona entering into her own alter ego.

The WHO/Health Action International Project on Medicine Prices and Availability was a partnership between the World Health Organization and Health Action International.
It also created guidance for low-and-middle-income countries to help their governments and associated health organisations to implement policies on drug prices.
There are 14 global core medicines that enable international comparisons, 16 regional core medicines that enable regional comparisons, and 20 supplementary medicines that are locally important.
This guide contains, for each drug, a set of prices from suppliers to developing countries and also a set of prices agreed by buyers such as government departments of health.
The World Health Organization and Health Action International (WHO/HAI) made a conjoint effort to systematize the methodology of medicine price surveys and ERP usage, first publishing the WHO/HAI methodology in manual in 2003, which is frequently used in price studies in unregulated prices context often found in low and moderate income countries (LMICs), but it was also used in high-income countries.
This methodology was devised to improve price transparency and ultimately medicines availability and affordability, and is the basis of most medicine price studies in the LMICs.
The WHO/HAI mention the possibility of using different reference price providers in the same study, but this is challenging and no methodology is provided.
The comparison of the prices of individual medicines, instead of an arbitrary clusters of medicines (eg, using ATC levels), is considered the most robust method, although avoiding clustering then restricts the comparison to a subset of medicines available in all the surveyed countries since imputing may produce more bias.
It is advised to select countries with similar income status as the target one, as including countries with higher income can lead to higher reference prices.
Increasing the number of reference countries in the basket has an important effect for decreasing prices when using ERP for drug price regulation.
The final price of medicines is impacted by several price components at various stages of the supply chain, with later stages likely increasing the medicine's price.
Although the two taxonomies have strong similarities, the MWPP taxonomy relates to high-income countries with price regulation, whereas the WHO/HAI taxonomy includes more stages for non-price regulated settings, the major difference being the specification of landed price as a separate price component for the different intermediaries.
The WHO recommends the use of the median supplier price for the reference countries of the target medication in the International Medical Products Price Guide for all studies.
Although the manufacturer's price is advised for prices analyses, it is advisable, or even key, for the design of pharmaceutical pricing policies to calculate ERPs at different stages of the medicine prices according to the WHO/HAI, to examine the contribution of each stage in the supply chain to the final price and isolate them from the manufacturer's selling price.
The choice of the database(s) to use is also crucial and should not be solely made on considerations of availability, although this is an important factor.
The HAI maintains a regularly updated database of worldwide drug price surveys following the WHO/HAI methodology, which is a method that offers data collection tools to obtain medicine price and availability information in countries or settings where access to price information is not accessible in a centralized manner, such as in low-or-moderate-income countries.

Critics praised the novel for the difficult themes that Blake tackles such as gender identity and the liveliness of both primary and secondary characters.

In 2019, Blake's novel was included on the Amelia Bloomer book list, an annual list compiled by the American Library Association to recognize books aimed at teenagers that contain strong female characters and feminist messages.
In the same year, Girl made of Stars was nominated in the LGBTQ Children's/Young Adult category at the 31st Lambda Literary Awards.

Her relationship becomes strained with Owen as she does not lend credence to his retelling of the sexual assault; however, by the end of the novel, she attempts to repair their relationship.
Once he pulls her aside, he exposes himself to her and threatens to fail her if she does not perform a sexual act on him.
Mary Cosola of Common Sense Media gave the novel a rating of four stars out of five, praising Mara's character as one with whom the audience can relate well in regard to the hurdles that she has to overcome.
Although Cosola admires the breadth of issues that Blake attempts to address in the novel, she argues that the multitude of themes ultimately winds up overwhelming the reader.

Guernsey Airways had been formed in 1934 as a subsidiary of Jersey Airways to operate services between St Peter Port, Guernsey and St Brelade's Bay in Jersey.
On 31 July 1936 the Cloud of Iona failed to arrive in Jersey, it had departed around 19:00 and the journey should have taken 20 minutes.
At 22:00 the St Helier lifeboat was launched to search for the flying boat, it searched all night without finding anything.

On 2 August three motorboats from Jersey returned with wreckage including wood, cushions and fabric which was identified as coming from the Isle of Iona.
The two passengers crossed to the other side of the boat as they realised the aircraft woulde pass across the bows, they didn't see the aircraft on the other side and assumed it had taken off in the mist.
Officials checked the bow of the ship to see if it had hit the flying boat but no marks were found.

228th (Edinburgh) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery, Royal Artillery was a Scottish air defence unit of Britain's Territorial Army (TA) formed in the City of Edinburgh during the period of international tension leading up to the outbreak of World War II.
In January 1938 Scottish newspapers reported measures to increase the anti-aircraft (AA) defences of Scotland's East Coast by the creation of new units of the part-time Territorial Army.
These included 228th (Edinburgh) AA Battery, Royal Artillery (RA), which was raised on 1 February 1938 under the command of Major Sir Eric Hutchison, 2nd Baronet of Hardiston, who had served in World War I and was a TA officer in the 62nd (Scottish) Medium Brigade, RA.
On 1 November the battery was brigaded with two other independent AA batteries at Dunfermline on the opposite side of the Firth of Forth to form 71st (Forth) AA Brigade (redesignated an AA Regiment from 1 January 1939).
The regiment was part of 36th (Scottish) Anti-Aircraft Brigade, which was responsible for the AA defence of the city of Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth.
On 1 April 1939, 228 Battery was transferred to provide the cadre for another new regiment in 36 AA Bde, 94th AA Regiment, with regimental HQ at Turnhouse near Edinburgh.
In June 1939, as the international situation worsened, a partial mobilisation of Anti-Aircraft Command's TA units was begun in a process known as 'couverture', whereby each unit did a month's tour of duty in rotation to man selected AA gun and searchlight positions.
There was little action for AA Command during the period of the Phoney War, which allowed it to continue building up its strength and equipment, for which 3rd AA Division was given a high priority.
The gunners calculated the height of the intruder as , climbing to , which was beyond the Fuze range of their guns, but they passed the information to the RAF, which 'scrambled' some Spitfires.
The fighters flew out over the guns while the gunners continued to track the target, calculating that the gun time-of-flight to the Heinkel was 28 seconds.
While the fighters flew out to sea to gain height, the battery fired three salvoes of rounds at fuze settings of 22, 28 and 30 seconds to direct them to the target.
On 1 June 1940, all RA units equipped with the older 3-inch or newer 3.7-inch and 4.5-inch guns were designated as Heavy AA (HAA) regiments to distinguish them from the new Light AA (LAA) regiments appearing in the order of battle.
Although there were some night raids on Scottish cities, the main action in the Battle of Britain and the subsequent Blitz was over Southern England and there were few chances of action for the Scottish AA defences in 1940.
In January 1941 94th HAA Rgt left AA Command and became part of the War Office Reserve to mobilise for overseas service.
In May, 228 HAA Bty embarked for Gibraltar where it joined a newly-formed 13th HAA Rgt and absorbed the personnel of 19 HAA Bty.
On the outbreak of war in September 1939 the AA defences of Gibraltar had been weak, but the Royal Navy Dockyard and airfield became strategically vital in 1940 after the entry of Italy into the war and the Fall of France.
13th HAA Regiment HQ was formed in Gibraltar to command 228 (Edinburgh) AA Bty, a troop of Z projectors (AA rockets) and the radar battery.
The gun and searchlight (S/L) sites and Gun-laying radar (GL) positions were carefully selected so that the fire of 20 HAA guns could be brought to bear on a target approaching at a speed of 240 mph from any direction at a typical height of 12,000 feet.
During 1941 there were five air raids that were positively identified as Vichy French, another six were attributed to Italian aircraft.
A total of nine 'kills' were claimed with one 'probable', though the Vichy and Italian HQs announced higher losses than these, so some aircraft probably crashed in Spain or elsewhere.
On 29 June the Royal Air Force early warning radar detected one such raid at a range of 60 miles, which was duly picked up by GL radar as the aircraft turned towards the Rock.
One aircraft was illuminated by S/L and shot down, the others were engaged with barrage fire by the HAA guns and Z battery rockets.
Although bombs fell on the airfield causing some casualties, two more of the hostile raiders were shot down and crashed in Spain.
During 1942 there were six bombing raids on Gibraltar, two of which were unidentified, and 18 reconnaissance overflights, all but two of them German.
Some of the Italian raids missed their targets and dropped their bombs in Spanish territory, and Spanish AA guns sometimes opened fire as a raid passed towards them.
By the end of 1942, the AA defences of Gibraltar reached a peak of scale and efficiency, but the threat had dwindled: there were only two or three more reconnaissance overflights in the whole of 1943.
Then when that regiment embarked on 30 May 1941 to return to the UK, the battery passed to the newly-arrived 175th HAA Rgt.
After more than two years in Gibraltar, 228 (Edinburgh) HAA Bty was relieved in August 1943 and returned to the UK, where it rejoined 82nd (Essex) HAA Rgt in October.
At that time the regiment formed part of 35 AA Bde in 2 AA Group covering South East England, but early in 1944 35 AA Bde came under command of 6 AA Group.
This was a headquarters that had been moved from Scotland to the South Coast to command the AA defences in the Solent–Portsmouth area covering embarkation ports for the Allied invasion of Normandy (Operation Overlord).
In March 1944, 44 AA Bde HQ moved down from Manchester to join 6 AA Group and take over the AA defences on the Isle of Wight covering the Solent, including 82nd HAA Rgt.
Shipping at Portsmouth was bombed on four successive nights (25–28 April) during the 'Baby Blitz' of early 1944, and there were sporadic attacks in May, but these failed to disrupt the 'Overlord' preparations.
82nd HAA Regiment moved in early May to join 60 AA Bde in 3 AA Group, covering the invasion ports on the South West Coast.
AA Command had prepared Operation Diver to counter these weapons, and AA guns were moved from all over the UK to strengthen the 'Diver Belt' in Southern England.
New HAA sites had to be quickly established, with static guns mounted on ingenious 'Pile Platforms' (named after the commander of AA Command, Sir Frederick Pile) and thousands of huts moved and re-erected to shelter the crews as winter approached.
AA Command formed a new 9 AA Group to take over the 'Diver' defences in East Anglia and in early December 1944 82nd HAA Rgt joined 37 AA Bde in this group.
By 1 January 1947 all the remaining TA personnel had been demobilised and 143rd HAA Rgt and 228 HAA Bty were considered as new war-formed units of the Regular Army.
On 1 April that year 143rd HAA Rgt was redesignated 75 HAA Regiment and 228 HAA Bty was formally disbanded at Laindon, Essex, to resuscitate 13 Coast Battery of the Regular RA as 37 HAA Bty in the new regiment.
Meanwhile, 94th (Edinburgh) HAA Rgt had been reformed in the postwar TA on 1 January 1947 as 494 (Mixed) (City of Edinburgh) HAA Regiment ('Mixed' indicating that members of the Women's Royal Army Corps were integrated into the unit).
On 1 January 1954, 494 HAA Rgt was merged into 471 (Mixed) (Forth) HAA Rgt (descended from 71st (Forth) AA Rgt that 228 (Edinburgh) Bty had joined in 1938), in which it formed R (City of Edinburgh) Battery.
However, this arrangement was shortlived; AA Command was disbanded on 10 March 1955 and there were wholescale mergers among its units.
471 (Forth) HAA Regiment amalgamated with 531 LAA/SL Rgt to form 433 LAA Rgt on the North bank of the Forth, but R Bty left to join three Edinburgh LAA regiments, 514 (West Lothian, Royal Scots), 519 (Dunedin) and 587 (Queen's Edinburgh Royal Scots) to form a new 432 LAA Rgt, in which it continued as R (City of Edinburgh) Bty.
In a further reorganisation of the TA on 1 May 1961, 432 LAA Rgt (except the West Lothian elements) was transferred to the Royal Engineers, forming Regimental HQ and 586 Field Squadron of 432 (City of Edinburgh) Corps Engineer Regiment.
In the reduction of the TA in 1967, 432 Regiment became 104 (City of Edinburgh) Field Sqn in 71 (Scottish) Engineer Regiment.

The 2019–20 Kazakh protests are a series of civil protests that took place in cities across Kazakhstan, commencing in February 2019 after a fire in Nur-Sultan (formerly named Astana) killed five children.
Some commentators attribute President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev's decision to dismiss the government of Prime Minister Bakhytzhan Sagintayev later that month in part to the protests.
Nazarbayev later himself resigned on 19 March 2019 and was replaced as President by Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the speaker of the upper house of parliament.
Protests continued to be reported in the rest of the year, including protests marking Independence Day in Nur-Sultan and Almaty on 16 December.
Public rallies that have not been permitted by the government are illegal in Kazakhstan, although Tokayev has stated he intends to liberalize the laws governing public protests.
A public poll released in October suggested that a plurality of Kazakhs, 43%, viewed public demonstrations positively, with 16% expressing a negative view and another 41% not expressing an opinion.
Protest movements in Kazakhstan include the December 1986 Jeltoqsan protests while Kazakhstan was part of the Soviet Union and the December 2011 Zhanaozen massacre in which 14 protestors were killed.

Nazarbayev retained his status in several powerful positions, such as being Chairman of the Security Council and Chairman of the ruling party Nur Otan and in October 2019 gained the right to veto appointments of most ministers, of provincial governors and of some other senior officials.
Tokayev called a snap presidential election held on 9 June 2019, which saw him elected with a majority of over 70% of the vote.

It was set to music around ninety times firstly by Leonardo Vinci, whose version premiered in Rome on 2 January 1730.
The libretto was the fourth of five that Metastasio wrote for the Teatro delle Dame in Rome between 1727 and 1730.
The libretto tells the story of the Indian campaign of Alexander the Great and his defeat of king Porus in 326 BCE at the Battle of the Hydaspes.
The action takes place on the banks of the Hydaspes, where Alexander’s camp stands on one side of the river and the residence of Cleofide on the other.
To protect his king, Gandarte offers to exchange clothes, and from then on Poro appears as Asbite and Gandarte as Poro.
After Asbite / Poro is introduced Alessandro as a friend of Poro, Alessandro releases him and asks him to tell Poro that all he had to do was submit in order to secure to peace.
However, Asbite assures her that he knows Poro's intentions very well and warns Alessandro about Cleofide, who once loved Poro and has now become unfaithful to him.
Cleofide begs the fleeing Poro not to leave her, but only when she threatens to plunge into the river and finally promises him marriage does he give in.
With the enemy approaching, Poro pulls out his dagger to kill both Cleofide and himself, but Alessandro snatches it from him.
Alessandro tells Cleofide that he has failed to calm his soldiers' anger, and Cleofide is ready to die as a martyr.
Since Cleofide does not want this, Gandarte, who is still dressed as Poro, comes out of hiding and offers himself as a sacrifice to save Cleofide.
Erissena meets Poro, who is believed to be dead, but the report of his death was only spread by Timagene for his own protection after he released him.
When Timagene replies that mercy would be out if the question in such a case, Alessandro shows him the incriminating letter.
Asbite/Poro comes to talk to Timagene about the planned ambush but Timagene no longer wants to have anything to do with it.
In return, Poro rewards Gandarte's steadfastness with the hand of his sister Erissena, and Alessandro gives him the land beyond the Ganges as a gift.
The magnanimous Alessandro opposes the treacherous Timagene, and the couples also complement each other with their contrasting main features: the jealous Poro combines with the faithful Cleofide, the reliable Gandarte with the coquettish Erissena.
To suit the tastes of a London audience he cut back the recitative; the first four scenes of Act 2 were also cut to move the action along.
Furthermore as the baritone who was to play Timagene, Giovanni Commano, was not a strong singer, so Handel cut much of the material his role was to have sung.

Knut Casimir Petre (24 April 1831 in Ovansjö, Gävleborg County– 9 September 1889), was a Swedish ironmaster and member of the Riksdag.
He was an Ottawa City Councillor from 1975 to 1985, serving on the city's Board of Control from 1978 to 1980 before it was abolished.
He ran on a platform of replacing the property tax system with an income tax, changes in zoning by-laws, and the closing of establishments which profit from the exploitation of sex, the cancellation of the Central Canada Exhibition's lease at Lansdowne Park and a fully subsidized rapid transit system.
Bourns ran again in the 1974 municipal election for Wellington Ward alderman, a seat which was opened up by Joe Cassey who was running for a seat on the Board of Control.
He ran on a reform platform, advocating for the creation of non-profit housing, adequate day-care, recreation facilities and more greenspace in Downtown Ottawa.
At just 23 years old, Bourns won the seat in a surprise victory, winning the seat with 45% of the vote, defeating Matthew McGrath, who finished in second place with 32% of the vote.
In 1976, he resigned from five organizations (including the Centretown Citizens' Corp.) he was a member of to avoid being caught in a conflict of interest.
He called for a freeze on the development of new office complexes until the federal government can agree on the direction in growth in the ward.
Bourns easily defeated his conservative challengers, winning 70% of the vote in an election which saw city council shift to the left.
When he was first elected to council, Bourns was seen as a thorn in the side of developers and the city's downtown business committee.
After the election, Bourns' wife was appointed as the executive assistant to mayor Marion Dewar, which some aldermen complained was a conflict of interest.
Bourns, whose spot on council also made him a regional councillor supported Rideau Township's Bill Tupper for Regional Chair of Ottawa-Carleton, whose bid lost to Andrew S. Haydon.
During his first term on the Board of Control, while he continued to develop contacts in the business community, Bourns continued to fight for the same principles as earlier in his career, such as for social services and better public transit, and kept a keen interest in his former ward, supporting revitalizing the downtown core.
City council voted to abolish the board of control in 1979 (whose abolition Bourns supported), so Bourns ran for a spot on city council instead, opting to run in the new suburban Billings Ward.
Bourns lived in Dalhousie Ward at the time, but did not want to run against incumbent Rolf Hasenack, who he believed was doing a good job.
Bourns won the seat with 41% of the vote, defeating conservative motel owner Bill Zlepnig who won 34% and Ottawa Board of Education trustee Geraldine Trudel who won 25%.
During his first term as the alderman for Billings, he worked with South Keys residents to persuade developers to reduce the number of townhouses proposed in the neighbourhood.
Bourns was once again opposed by Zlepnig, who this time received the endorsement of Geraldine Trudel, who finished third in 1980.
The endorsement did not help Zlepnig however, as Bourns went on to defeat Zlepnig with 55% of the vote to Zlepnig's 45%.
After his re-election, Bourns ran for re-election as chair of the planning board, but there was an 8-8 tie in the council vote with Graham Bird.
He was also considered likely to run for mayor in the 1985 municipal election, but decided against it, citing a desire to spend time with his family, his side-career as a business consultant and getting a master's degree in business administration from the University of Ottawa.
In August 1985, he announced he would not be running for re-election as alderman either and endorsed fellow progressive alderman Marlene Catterall in the mayoral race.
Bourns was seceded on council by his executive assistant Joan O'Neill who defeated Zlepnig who ran for the seat once again.
In 1987, he was again rumoured to run for the NDP in Ottawa South for the Ontario general election, 1987, but opted against it.
At this time, he was urged to run for Regional Chair in the 1991 municipal elections (the first direct election for the job), but ultimately did not do so.
In 1993, while working as an accountant for KPMG, he was appointed by the provincial government to study the possible amalgamation of the region's five school boards.
It was the last time that this distance was contested at the Universiade before being replaced with 10 kilometres in 1991.

The history of photography in Albania begins with the Marubi Dynasty and its founder Pietro Marubi (1834–1903), who settled in the northwestern city of Shkodër from Piacenza, Italy during the second half of the nineteenth century and opened the first photography studio there in 1858.
Having no children of his own, Pietro Marubi’s first assistants and faithful successors were Mati and Kel Kodheli, the sons of his gardener Rrok Kodheli.
When Mati died prematurely at age nineteen, in 1881, Pietro adopted Kel, whom he also sent to Italy to study and who would later assume the surname Marubi.
He, in turn, was followed into business by his own son, Gegë Marubi, who studied photography and cinematography in France at the Lumière brothers’ studio.
With the onset of Communist rule in the 1940s, when every private enterprise was prohibited by law, Gegë Marubi was forced to turn over his family’s archive to the state.
Other photo studios that had opened in Albania over the course of the same decades, including Dritëshkroja e Kolës (1886), Fotografija Pici (1924), Foto Jakova (1932), and Foto Rraboshta (1943), also had to relinquish their images.
The Marubi museum preserves and promotes a collection of more than 500,000 negatives dating from the second half of the nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth century.
The Marubi family archive, along with archives of many other photographers in the museum’s holdings document pivotal moments in Albanian social, cultural, and political life over the course of a century and a half.
Other well-known photograpers of this time include Dhimitër Vangjeli, Vani Burda, Kristo Sulidhi, Pero Kaçauni, Kolë Maca, Kristaq Sotiri, Foti Papajani, Dedë Jakova, Ali Bakiu, Petro Dhimitri, Manaqi Brothers, Lilo Xhimitiku, Ymer Bali, Shan Pici, Pjetër Rraboshta, etc.
The central institution responsible for producing and archiving images was the Albanian Telegraphic Agency which had a photographic laboratory as early as 1947.

In his sophomore year, Powers led the team to an 8–0 record with victories in the Sunkist Tournament, Buckhalter Tournament, and the LSU Invitational Tournament.
In 1976, he achieved tour status for the second time but found little success, missing the cut in nearly half the events and earning only $4,000 for the entire season.
He played in the final group with Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf for the 36-hole Sunday finale, two off the lead.
Despite this disappointing finish, Powers would go on to his best season up to that point, recording his first top-10 finishes and keeping his card for the first time.
Like his experience at Doral, however, he had a disappointing third round, shooting a 75 (+3) to fall out of the lead.
He would shoot a solid 70 in the final round, however, birdieing 5 of his final 7 holes, to finish in a tie for second place.
Powers was well inside of Bob Charles, his competitor, on the first playoff hole but Charles made a 45-foot birdie and Powers missed his 20-foot putt.
The following month he was −9 after the first 13 holes of the Chattanooga Classic, another satellite event, threatening to shoot in the 50s for the first time in his career.
Powers maintained full-time status for the next two seasons but had few highlights, only recording a handful of top-25 finishes and missing the majority of cuts.

The kasbah (citadel) of Tangier was built right after the city was evacuated by the English in 1684 and reclaimed by Morocco.
The sultan of Morocco, Moulay Ismail, supported the city's resettlement and commissioned its reconstruction, overseen by its new governor, Ali ibn Abdallah Errifi.
One part of this reconstruction involved establishing the Moroccan government's seat of power in the city within a self-contained fortified district, the kasbah (much as in other traditional Moroccan cities).
The mosque of the kasbah of Tangier was thus built by Ali Errifi, under Moulay Ismail's reign in the late 17th century.
In 1921, the official in charge of religious foundations (habous) in the region restored the mosque but covered up much of its original decoration in the process, using new colors.
The entrance is on Ibn Abbou Street (an alley near the entrance to the museum/palace), sheltered under a small arched passageway covering the street at this point.
The minaret, rising above the entrance, is notable for having an octagonal shaft (instead of a square shaft like most Moroccan minarets) and for its decoration.

Pabst was born in Oberammergau the son of the pedagogue and head teacher of the same name, Eugen Papst (1855-1923), after whom the Eugen-Papst-Förderschule in Germering was later named.
He then attended the teacher training seminar in Freising and studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich from 1907.
In 1910 he worked at the theater in Olsztyn and from 1911 in Bern as musical director of the city theater.
In 1922 he was called to Hamburg, where he conducted the Hamburg Philharmonic together with Karl Muck until it was disbanded by the Nazis in 1934.
Pabst first went to Münster as General Music Director in the fall of 1934, but by 1935 he had already become director of the Cologne Men's Choral Society and shortly afterwards, with the support of his friend Richard Strauss, also became municipal General Music Director of the Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne as successor to Hermann Abendroth.
After the end of the war, there were disputes over his position as General Music Director because the City of Cologne appointed Günter Wand in 1946 despite an ongoing contract with Pabst.
For the 1950 Oberammergau Passion Play, he created an arrangement of the Passion music by Rochus Dedler (1779-1822), which was played unchanged until 1990 and is still in use today with revisions and additions by the present musical director Markus Zwink.

On 3 January 2020, a United States drone strike near the Baghdad International Airport targeted and killed Iranian major general Qasem Soleimani of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Soleimani was commander of the Quds Force, which has been deemed a terrorist organization by the U.S., Canada, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, and was considered the second most powerful person of Iran.
Nine others were killed alongside Soleimani, including the deputy chairman of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and commander of Kata'ib Hezbollah, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, who was listed as a terrorist in the United Arab Emirates and in the U.S.
The strike occurred during the 2019–20 Persian Gulf crisis, which began after the U.S. withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran in 2018, reimposed sanctions, and accused Iranian elements of fomenting a campaign to harass U.S. forces in the region.
On 27 December 2019, the K-1 Air Base in Iraq, which hosts Iraqi and U.S. personnel, was attacked, killing an American contractor.
Iraq said the attack undermined its national sovereignty, was a breach of its agreement with the U.S. and an act of aggression against its officials.
The legality of the attack was subsequently brought into question in respect to international law, as well as the domestic laws of the U.S. and its bilateral security agreements with Iraq.
Iranian leaders vowed revenge, while U.S. officials said they would preemptively attack any Iran-backed paramilitary groups in Iraq that they perceived as a threat.
Five days after the airstrike, Iran launched a series of missile attacks on U.S. forces based in Iraq, the first direct engagement between Iran and the U.S. since Operation Praying Mantis in 1988.
The modern Middle East has seen a number of occasions in which the assassination of high-level government and military figures was attempted, or at least considered.
Such instances include attempts by the United States to target during air raids Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 1986 and Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein in 1991, 1998, and 2003, and in addition to successful missions to kill non-state terrorist leaders such as Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Over the past centuries there has largely been a norm against governments conducting assassinations of foreign leaders, but that norm has been weakening over time, especially since World War II.
Both the consideration against further eroding norms and the questions regarding effectiveness would be raised in the wake of the strike against Soleimani.
The costs and benefits of foreign policy assassinations are difficult to compute, and decisions to go ahead with such actions often reflect the vague, and not always realized, hope that any successor to the targeted person will be less capable against, or will embody policies more favorable toward, the country taking the action.
In 2014, the U.S. intervened in Iraq, as a part of Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR), an American-led mission to degrade and fight the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) terror organization, and have been training and operating alongside Iraqi forces as a part of the anti-ISIL coalition.
In 2017, ISIL was largely defeated back from Iraq during the three-year battle, with the help of primarily Iran-backed Shia militias—Popular Mobilization Forces, reporting to the Iraqi prime minister since 2016—and the U.S.-backed Iraqi Armed Forces.
Concerning the provisional nuclear deal with Iran, some critics of the treaty condemned that Iran could make a nuclear bomb after expiry of the limited-term nuclear deal.
President Trump also criticized the 15-year nuclear deal with Iran by the previous U.S. administration's paying $1.7 billion cash to Tehran.
The Quds Force which Soleimani led has been designated a terrorist organization by Canada, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the U.S. Soleimani himself was sanctioned by the United Nations and sanctioned by the European Union and was on U.S. terror watchlists.
The 25,000-strong militia he commanded, Kata'ib Hezbollah, is considered a terrorist organization by Japan, the United Arab Emirates, and the U.S.
General Qasem Soleimani was considered the second most powerful person in Iran, behind Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and in his later years enjoyed a near unassailable heroic status, especially with supporters of Tehran's hard-line politics.
That made his killing by the U.S. on 3 January 2020 a significant aggravation of the existing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, distrusted and disliked by U.S. leaders as recently testified by the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act of 2017 and further policy of President Trump.
Former U.S. presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama both considered and rejected targeting Qasem Soleimani, reasoning that it would escalate to a full-scale war.
In October 2019, Hossein Taeb, chief of the Intelligence Organization of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, told the press that his agency had arrested an unspecified number of people, allegedly foiling a plot by Israeli and Arab agencies to assassinate Soleimani.
Response to Iranian major general Qasem Soleimani's perceived destructive influence in Iraq and abroad have been a topic of debate amongst U.S. officials for many years.
Back in 2006, as the U.S. War in Iraq began to see increasingly sophisticated and lethal roadside bombs, such as explosively formed penetrators (EFPs)—thought to be exclusively due to Iranian influence—the U.S. military was seeking ways to mitigate the damage.
According to a report by NBC News, Eric Edelman, a career foreign services officer with senior diplomatic posts at the time, U.S. commander Army Gen. George Casey considered designating Soleimani and Quds Force officers enemy combatants, thus making them subject to military action.
In October 2007, the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush was the first to designate Soleimani a terrorist on the basis of his involvement with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and Quds Force, and the increasing recognition of the role they played in the Iraq conflict.
According to an interview with a PolitiFact journalist, retired Army Col. Frank Sobchak, said that around the same time U.S. special forces had planned for his capture, but the mission was not approved by senior officials.
The first such designation was made in May, 2011, in response to Soleimani's assistance to the Syrian General Intelligence Directorate in the violent suppression of Syrian protestors.
The second, and more serious designation by the Obama administration came in October, 2011, after a plot was revealed in which four senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force (IRGC-QF) officers were planning to assassinate the Saudi Arabian Ambassador while in the United States, under the supervision of Soleimani.
In early October 2019, according to two Iraqi militia commanders and two security sources who spoke with Reuters staff, Iranian Major-General Qasem Soleimani met in Baghdad to discuss a change in strategy with Iraqi Shiite militia allies.
The new focus of strategy was to be an increase in targeted rocket attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq, with the intended effect of provoking an antagonistic U.S. military response that would divert political pressure from Iran.
Leading up to the meeting, there had been increasing anti-Iran sentiment amongst the local Iraqi population, culminating in prolonged and vocal anti-Iran protests, even featuring such specific displays of anti-Iran sentiment as demonstrators banging their shoes on raised portraits of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
These means, under direct guidance of Soleimani, resulted in the deaths of at least 400 protestors, with an estimated 20,000 wounded, but without significant success.The next step in the strategy chosen by Soleimani was to step up attacks on U.S. forces.
On 27 December 2019, the K-1 Air Base in Kirkuk province, Iraq—one of many Iraqi military bases that host Operation Inherent Resolve coalition personnel—was attacked by more than 30 rockets, killing an Iraqi-American and Muslim U.S. defense contractor, and injuring multiple U.S. and Iraqi service members.
Furthermore, a senior U.S. official, who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity, said there had been a campaign of 11 attacks on Iraqi bases hosting OIR personnel in the two months before the 27 December incident, many of which the U.S. also attributed to Kata'ib Hezbollah.
On 29 December 2019, retaliatory U.S. airstrikes targeted five Kata'ib Hezbollah weapon storage facilities and command and control locations in Iraq and Syria.
On 31 December 2019, after a funeral was held for the Kata'ib Hezbollah militiamen, dozens of Iraqi Shia militiamen and their supporters marched into the Green Zone and surrounded the U.S. embassy compound.
Dozens of the demonstrators then smashed through a main door of the checkpoint, set fire to the reception area, raised Popular Mobilization Units militia flags, left anti-American posters, and sprayed anti-American graffiti.
The Pentagon evaluated Soleimani was the leader of Tehran's attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq, including the 2019 K-1 Air Base attack and killing of a U.S. civilian, and the shooting down of a U.S. aerial vehicle.
According to an unnamed senior U.S. official, after the bombing of Kata'ib Hezbollah in late December 2019, a security briefing was convened at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate where he and his advisors, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Defense Secretary Mark Esper, and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff General Mark Milley discussed how to respond to Iran's alleged role in sponsoring anti-U.S. attacks in Iraq.
The president's order prompted the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies that have tracked Soleimani's whereabouts for years to locate him on a flight from Damascus to Baghdad, reportedly to hold meetings with Iraqi militiamen.
The air strike would have been called off if Soleimani had been on his way to meet with Iraqi government officials aligned with the U.S.
Senator Lindsey Graham indicated Trump had discussed the matter with him in advance of the strike, as he was visiting the president at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Vice President Mike Pence were reportedly the most hawkish voices arguing to retaliate against Iran.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had discussed killing Soleimani with Trump months before the strike, but did not garner support from the president or the defense team then in place.
Afterwards several members of Congress, including Mike Lee and Chris Murphy, claimed that the Trump administration had not informed them of this in the intelligence briefing on the strike.
Adil Abdul-Mahdi, Prime Minister of Iraq, said he was scheduled to meet Soleimani on the day the attack happened, with the purpose of Soleimani's trip being that Soleimani was delivering Iran's response to a previous message from Saudi Arabia which Iraq had relayed.
According to Abdul-Mahdi, Trump had called him to request that Abdul-Mahdi mediate the conflict between the U.S. and Iran before the drone strike.
local time, General Soleimani's Airbus A320 Cham Wings plane arrived at Baghdad International Airport from Damascus International Airport after being delayed for two hours for unknown reasons.
An MQ-9 Reaper drone of the U.S. Air Force and other military aircraft loitered above the area as Soleimani and other pro-Iranian paramilitary figures, including Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, a U.S.-designated terrorist, entered two vehicles and departed the airport towards downtown Baghdad.
At 12:47a.m., the Reaper drone launched several missiles, striking the convoy on an access road as it departed the airport, engulfing the two cars in flames and killing 10 people.
Trump asserted that Soleimani had been planning further attacks on American diplomats and military personnel and had approved the attack on the American embassy in Baghdad.
A statement by the Air Force of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) stated that Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait participated, among other bases in the region, in the operation that was executed near Baghdad airport recently.
Along with Soleimani, four other IRGC officers were also killed: Brigadier General Hossein Pourjafari, Colonel Shahroud Mozafarinia, Major Hadi Taremi and Captain Vahid Zamanian.
The remaining five casualties were Iraqi members of the PMF: deputy chairman Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, chief of protocol and public relations Muhammed Reza al-Jaberi, Mohammad al-Shibani, Hassan Abdul Hadi and Heydar Ali.
On the same day of the Baghdad airport attack, an IRGC financier and key commander, Abdul Reza Shahlai, was unsuccessfully targeted by U.S. drones in Yemen, which killed Mohammad Mirza, a Quds Force operative, instead.
According to a Washington Post investigation, the unsuccessful operation might indicate a broader operation than previously explained, raising questions about whether the mission was designed to cripple the leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or solely to prevent an imminent attack on Americans as originally stated.
Hossein Dehghan, the main military adviser of Iran, and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif asserted that attacks on Iranian cultural sites would be grave breaches of international law.
U.S. secretary of state Mike Pompeo avoided a direct answer when asked about cultural targets, saying that Washington will do the things that are right and the things that are consistent with U.S. law.
That day, Iran announced that it would suspend all its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal except that it would continue to cooperate with the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The following day, the U.S. Department of Defense announced the deployment of 3,500 members of the 82nd Airborne Division to the region, one of the largest rapid deployments in decades.
U.S. spy agencies reportedly detected that Iran's ballistic missile regiments were at a heightened readiness but it was unclear if they were defensive, cautionary measures or an indication of a future attack on U.S. forces.
The next day, Britain warned its nationals to avoid all travel to Iraq outside the Kurdistan region, and to avoid all but essential travel to Iran.
Global oil prices rose moderately in reaction to Soleimani's death to heights not seen for a whole three months, before falling back.
The day after the Baghdad airport attack, Iraqi state news reported that there had been another airstrike against a convoy of medical units of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces near Camp Taji in Taji, north of Baghdad.
The PMF later said there was no senior commander in the convoy, and the Imam Ali Brigades denied reports of the death of its leader.
Spokesman for Operation Inherent Resolve Colonel Myles B. Caggins III said the coalition did not do it, while Iraq's Joint Operations Command denied reports of any such attack, saying it was simply a false rumor that spread quickly due to the prior airport strike.
The cortege began around Al-Kadhimiya Mosque, a Shiite holy site in Baghdad, before heading to the Green Zone government and diplomatic compound where a state funeral was held.
From Baghdad, the procession moved to the Shia holy city of Karbala and on to Najaf, where al-Muhandis and the other Iraqis were buried, while the coffins of Soleimani and the Iranian nationals were sent to Iran.
Following the mourning procession in Baghdad, unknown people fired short-range rockets towards the U.S. embassy and at the U.S. Balad Air Base.
The U.S. Central Command, which oversees operations in the Middle East, said no Americans were harmed by the sporadic rocket attacks on 4January.
The remains of Soleimani and the Iranian figures killed in the strike arrived in Iran on 5January, where they became part of mourning processions in several cities, first in Ahvaz and later in Mashhad, where one million people attended the mourning.
It was initially reported that Iran canceled the mourning procession planned in Tehran because the city would not be able to handle the number of attendees expected after the turnout in Mashhad; however, the Tehran service was held, at which Ayatollah Ali Khamenei publicly wept while leading prayers for the funeral.
Iranian authorities plan to take Soleimani's body to Qom on 6January for public mourning processions, then onto his hometown of Kerman for final burial on 7January.
Before the national procession was completed, multiple infrastructure works, such as the international airport at Ahvaz and an expressway in Tehran, had already been renamed after him.
On 7 January 2020, at least 56 people were killed and 213 injured in a stampede during Soleimani's burial at Kerman.
A couple of days later, United States Department of State warned Iraq to lose access to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York accounts, in a phone call if U.S. troops were asked to leave, according to Iraqi officials.
On 8 January 2020, Iranian forces launched ballistic missiles at the Al Asad Airbase and an airbase near Erbil, both in Iraq, where American personnel were located.
The Pentagon said these bases were on high alert after signs of the Iranian government were planning attacks on U.S. forces.
Although the Pentagon disputes the number launched, it has confirmed that both the Ayn al-Asad and the Erbil airbases were hit by Iranian missiles.
Other sources confimed that two ballistic missiles targeted Erbil: one hit Erbil International Airport and did not explode, the other landed about west of Erbil.
The sustained massive street protests in Iraq that led to Abdul-Mahdi's resignation as prime minister (and temporary caretaker role) restarted in the days after the assassination of Soleimani and al-Muhandis, with a shift in the focus of protests from mostly anti-Iran to criticism of both the U.S. and Iran.
On 11 January 2020, after Iranian authorities acknowledged that Iranian military forces had shot down Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752, thousands of people protested in Iran, continuing the Iranian protests ongoing since December 2017.
The Charter of the United Nations generally prohibits the use of force against other states, if a country does not consent to it on its territory.
The Government of Iraq did not grant permission to the U.S. to target a military commander from another country on its soil.
Iran said it will pursue a war-crimes case against US president Donald Trump at the International Criminal Court in the Hague.
PMF is legally incorporated into the Iraqi security forces by a series of laws enacted by the parliament and Prime Ministerial orders, therefore, technically, the U.S. killed a senior Iraqi official (Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis) and other military personnel of Iraq.
He and Speaker of the Council of Representatives Mohamed al-Halbousi released separate written statements, both calling the attack a breach of Iraq's sovereignty.
According to the office of the Iraqi caretaker prime minister, the U.S. secretary of state has subsequently been requested to send a delegation to Iraq tasked with formulating the mechanism for the withdrawal of U.S troops from Iraq.
The case was compared by AP reporter John Daniszewski to the drone killing of U.S. citizen Anwar al-Awlaki during the Obama administration.
Some analysts maintained that Trump had the authority to order the strike under Article Two of the United States Constitution, while the ambiguity of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists (AUMF) law may help Trump justify it.
Some members of Congress, which generally was not consulted or briefed before the Soleimani strike, sought to restrict the president's ability to conduct future military operations against Iran without congressional consent.
On 6January 2020, House Speaker Pelosi announced plans to hold a vote within the week on limiting President Trump's war powers concerning Iran.
On 8January 2020, Pelosi announced that a vote will be held by the entire House on 9January to limit President Trump's war powers concerning any future escalation of conflict with Iran.
The House Rules Committee cleared the way for a full House vote by approving parameters which set up a two-hour debate on 9January.
The House vote is considered significant, as the U.S. Constitution provides that while the president may use the military to defend the country, any declaration of war must be approved by Congress (note that Congress has never declared war on anyone since World War II).
Reuters reported that some Iranians including Soleimani supporters fear that a war could break out at a time of economic hardship and widespread corruption.
In Iraq, outgoing Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi condemned the attack, calling it an assassination and stating that the strike was an act of aggression and a breach of Iraqi sovereignty which would lead to war in Iraq.
He said the strike violated the agreement on the presence of U.S. forces in Iraq and that safeguards for Iraq's security and sovereignty should be met with legislation.

The 3 March affair () was an attempted coup against the Indonesian republican administration in West Sumatra during the Indonesian National Revolution by Islamic militias.
In the early phases of the Indonesian National Revolution, the residents of West Sumatra had felt that the authorities of the Republic of Indonesia had not been radical enough in taking actions against the Dutch.
A local election in mid-1946 saw significant success for candidates who had refused to work with the Dutch and Japanese authorities in the pre-independence era, and members of the Islamist Masyumi Party largely took control of local village administration from traditional leaders.
In November 1946, the Linggadjati Agreement was signed, which in West Sumatra meant that Indonesian army units were required to withdraw from the city of Padang, an unpopular decision for the locals.
This resentment was furthered by grievances by soldiers on the frontlines against civilian administrators and their officers, in addition to a lack of Masyumi representation in the residency government and the fact that military supplies were allocated almost exclusively for regular army units with militia groups receiving effectively nothing.
The primary objective of the uprising was to seize power from the Republican government, and to kidnap the heads of government there - civilian resident Rasyid and army commander .
Due to the prior knowledge, Republican military leaders had formed operational plans which dictated a policy of minimal violence to prevent losses.
The Hizbullah men were intercepted and surrounded, and after just several hours of light combat the militias surrendered before reaching the center of Bukittinggi.
Outside of Bukittinggi, the rebels managed to capture some civilian officials, but by morning the following day principal coup leaders had been arrested.
The captured rebels were imprisoned, but after several days they were released and sent home by the government with money and clothes.
The coup leaders were trialled, with the two chief leaders being sentenced to one year in prison and a parole sentence respectively.
Masyumi leader Mohammad Natsir (who originated from West Sumatra) travelled to Bukittinggi leading a Masyumi delegation to investigate the incident, concluding that the Masyumi party itself was uninvolved in the incident, though it involved a number of its members.
The local government decided that the Islamic militias had to be included in the military command structure, and they were later integrated in a process which completed later that year.

This is a list of ancient Indo-Aryan peoples and tribes that are mentioned in old sources of Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions (see sources).
In these old sources, there are also Non-Indo-Aryan peoples that are mentioned but are not included in this list because of that.
After roughly 1500 BCE Indo-Aryan peoples and tribes were swiftly expanding through ancient northern India, therefore the number of peoples, tribes and clans was increasing (as well as the number of Indo-Aryan language speakers) and Āryāvarta was becoming a very large area (see the map on the right side).
From roughly 1100 to 500 BCE Indo-Aryan peoples and tribes expanded even further throughout ancient northern India (see the map on the right side).

Esmail Qaani (also spelled as Esmail Ghaani ; born 8 August 1957) is an Iranian Brigadier General in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and commander of its Quds Force — a division primarily responsible for extraterritorial military and clandestine operations.
Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei appointed Qaani as Commander of the Quds Force on 3 January 2020 after General Qasem Soleimani was killed by a targeted U.S. drone strike near Baghdad International Airport.
Qaani was appointed Deputy Commander of the Quds Force in 1997 by IRGC Chief Commander Rahim Safavi, along with Qasem Soleimani as Commander.
As Deputy, Ghaani oversaw financial disbursements to paramilitary groups including Hezbollah and an arms shipment intended for The Gambia intercepted in Nigeria in October 2010.
On 27 March 2012, Qaani was added to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) list by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), freezing his assets and prohibiting transactions with U.S. entities.
Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei appointed Qaani as Commander of the Quds Force on 3 January 2020 after General Qasem Soleimani was killed by a targeted U.S. drone strike near Baghdad International Airport.
Iranian expatriate and political expert, Dr. Karim Abdian Bani Saeed, expressed the view that the appointment of the subject was hasty and that Ghaani‘s expertise falls short of that of the assassinated commander.
However, noted that despite his relatively unknown figure, Qaani is a veteran with decades of overseas military experience, and signaled that his appointment is unlikely either to reduce the Quds Force influence in the iranian foreign policy, nor to change the iranian influence in the region.
On 25 May 2012, two villages in the Houla region of Syria were attacked, resulting in the deaths of 108 people, including 49 children.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland asserted on 29 May that Qaani alleged in an interview two days earlier that the Quds force helped train Shabiha responsible for the Houla attack.
Prior to his appointment as Quds Force commander, Qaani was most famous for recruiting the Liwa Fatemiyoun and Liwa Zainebiyoun Shia fighters operating in Syria.
Qaani has sharply criticized U.S. involvement in the region, at times expressing bellicose rhetoric towards President Donald Trump and American nationals.
At a ceremony commemorating martyrs on 5 July 2017, he contended that the U.S. had futilely spent $6 trillion on Iraq and Afghanistan in attempts to attack Iran.

The lac Métascouac is a fresh body of water crossed by the Métascouac River, in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The area around the lake is served indirectly by the route 169 (connecting Quebec (city) to Alma) and by the route 155 (connecting La Tuque and Chambord).
The surface of Lac Métascouac is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from mid-December to mid-March.
This lake is mainly fed by the discharge of a set of lakes including Durocher, des Mûres, Taillefer and Themers, discharge from Isabelle and Flynn lakes, discharge from Lake Tomochiche and Lake Sérigny, discharge from Lake Lescarbeau.
Surveyor Frederic William Blaiklock explored in 1847 the territory between Stoneham, near Quebec (city), and Métabetchouan–Lac-à-la-Croix, at Lac-Saint-Jean, with a view to the possible construction of a road connecting these two points.

Leitmeritz was the largest subcamp of Flossenbürg concentration camp, established in Leitmeritz, Reichsgau Sudetenland (now Litoměřice, Czechia), on 24 March 1944.
As part of an effort to disperse and increase war production, its prisoners were forced to work in the caverns Richard I and II, producing Maybach HL230 tank engines for Auto Union and preparing the second site for intended production by Osram.
Of the 18,000 prisoners who passed through the camp, about 4,500 died due to disease, malnutrition, and accidents caused by the complete disregard for safety by the SS.
The SS deployed hundreds of thousands of prisoners on war-related forced labor projects, including some of the most important to the war effort.
In 1943, the Auto Union factory in was ordered to be turned over to the production of Maybach HL230 tank engines, much in demand to attrition on the Eastern Front.
By late 1943, Hermann Göring was planning to disperse the Mayback production from the Chemnitz plant to a subterranean factory under Radobýl Mountain just west of the town of Leitmeritz (now Litoměřice in the Czech Republic).
Although there was an existing quarry, the facility had to be expanded in order to accommodate planned spaces for production and assembly several kilometers long.
The site was located in Reichsgau Sudetenland, a territory of Czechoslovakia that had been annexed to Germany in 1938 following the Munich Agreement.
The largest subcamp of Flossenbürg concentration camp, Leitmeritz was one of the largest of the subcamps located in the Sudetenland, whose remote location was favored for armaments production because it deterred Allied bombers.
The camp was located west of downtown Leitmeritz, distant from Theresienstadt Ghetto in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, a transit ghetto for Jews.
The camp was established by a transport of 500 men from Dachau, who arrived at nearby Theresienstadt Small Fortress on 24 or 25 March 1944.
Due to the lack of accommodation at the work site, they stayed at the Small Fortress until June, temporarily the site of a Flossenbürg subcamp, away.
In May 1944, the authority (SS Leadership Staff) B 5, under the authority of SS magnate Hans Kammler, was created to oversee the forced labor projects at Leitmeritz.
The companies involved, Auto Union and Osram, worked closely with both the B 5 and the Reich Ministry of Armaments and War Production.
The SS shell company, Mineral-Öl – Baugesellschaft m.b.H., set up to subcontract construction tasks, hired many enterprises from Germany, the Sudetenland and the Protectorate for various roles involving the camp.
There was continual conflict between the SS and the companies because the goal of terrorizing and killing prisoners by extermination through labor was incompatible with the aim of securing the highest production possible.
Whether they were working on the camp or underground, prisoners were not given appropriate equipment and even the most basic safety precautions.
The estimated cost of establishing Maybach production at Leitmeritz was 10 to 20 million Reichsmarks, equivalent to $2.5 million to $5 million at the time or $36 to $72 million today.
In early April 1944, the SS' goal was to begin production of the engines by July, which would have required 3,500 prisoners.
On 30 April, Hitler ordered that the dispersal to Leitmeritz be expedited because the Maybach plant in Friedrichshafen had been bombed by the Royal Air Force on the night of 27–28 April.
Between 25 September and 30 October, the two most important production lines of components—cylinder heads and crankcases—were transferred to the underground factory at Leitmeritz, 180 machines in total.
The lack of air circulation in the underground factory exacerbated the illness and exhaustion of many inmates and rusted the production machines, causing many of the completed products to fail quality control.
The prisoners were housed separately in a warehouse with washrooms and given increased rations of food, while they did not have to participate in as many roll calls.
On 15 May 1944, the Reich Ministry of Armaments and War Production decided to use Leitmeritz to expand the production of tungsten and molybdenum wire and sheet metal produced by Osram's Berlin factory.
The cover name of Osram operating in Leitmeritz was Kalkspat K.G., responsible for machinery, power, access roads, and accommodation for civilian workers.
Production was scheduled to begin by the end of 1944, but none ever took place because Osram executives recognized the hopelessness of the war situation.
The third commandant, Völkner, tried to improve conditions for prisoners but was replaced in November by Heiling, who had the most brutal reputation of the SS leaders.
All three of them— Willi Czibulka in 1944, Kurt Panicke through March 1945 and Karl Opitz—had a reputation for arbitrary cruelty.
Supervising prisoners in their barracks was the responsibility of the block leaders, while the Labor Operations Department (commanded by Tilling and later Piasek) oversaw labor deployment.
The first commander of the guard was Emanuel Fritz, a former prosecutor from Vienna, who was replaced by Captain Jelinek in mid-1944 and Edmund Johann in November.
As the camp expanded, the number of Luftwaffe guards increased to as many as 300, who had been seconded from Vienna, Leipzig and Buchenwald.
The plurality of prisoners came from Flossenbürg (3,649); large numbers also came from Gross-Rosen (3,253), Auschwitz II-Birkenau (1,995), and Dachau (1,441).
In March and April, 2,000 people were deported to Leitmeritz from various Flossenbürg subcamps and 800 from subcamps of Buchenwald due te the advance of Allied armies.
Leitmeritz began as a male camp, but from February to April 1945, 770 women also were imprisoned at the site, to work for Osram.
An unusually high number of the prisoners, about 3,600 or 4,000, were Jews, most of whom were from Poland and the first of whom arrived on 9 August.
By country of origin, the largest groups were Poles (almost 9,000), Soviet citizens (3,500), Germans (950), Hungarians (850), French (800), Yugoslavs (more than 600) and Czechs (more than 500).
The SS guards and administrators as well as civilian laborers lived in the original soldiers' quarters, while prisoners were warehoused in the former stables, indoor riding arena, and storage depot, which surrounded by a double barbed-wire fence and seven watchtowers.
Despite the continual increase in the number of prisoners, not enough accommodation was built, resulting in serious overcrowding and major problems with hygiene.
The rate of infectious disease, especially tuberculosis, was very high; at the end of 1944 many prisoners were x-rayed, showing that nearly half had the disease.
Initially the prisoners were grouped in quarters based on the transport they arrived in; later they were organized by work group but not nationality as was typical elsewhere.
According to records, 150 people died through November 1944 and after that the mortality rate climbed, with 706 deaths in December, 934 in January, and 862 in February.
The remains of 66 others, who had been buried in seven mass graves, were exhumed in 1946; another 723 bodies were found in a long anti-tank ditch.
Before the evacuation of the camp, 3,869 prisoners, primarily those unable to work, were sent to other camps, including 1,657 to Flossenbürg and its subcamps and 1,200 (suffering from typhus and dysentery) to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
About 1,222 prisoners, mostly Jewish men—some from Leitmeritz itself, others who had arrived after death marches from elsewhere—ended up in Theresienstadt Ghetto.
After Flossenbürg main camp was liberated by the United States Army on 23 April 1945, Leitmeritz continued to operate, administering nearby concentration camps such as Lobositz.
On the afternoon of 5 May, SS commander Panicke summoned the prisoners to announce that the war was over and they would be released.
On 9–10 May, 5th Guards Army of the Red Army arrived at the site, finding 1,200 sick prisoners who had been left behind.
The production lines at Elsabe were dismantled and shipped to the Soviet Union as war reparations, while the barracks were returned to use by the Czechoslovak Army but were abandoned in 2003.
In 2014, Audi (the successor to Auto Union) released a report by Audi historian Martin Kukowski and Chemnitz University of Technology academic that it had commissioned into its activity during the Nazi era.

Kim San (Korean: 김산, Hanja: 金山, April 14, 1905 – October 19, 1938) was a socialist revolutionary and Korean independence fighter.
His real name was known as Jang Jihak (Korean: 장지학, Hanja: 張志鶴) according to Nym Wales, or Jang Jirak (Korean: 장지락, Hanja: 張志樂) according to Japanese authorities' documents.
Born in Korea in the early 20th century, witnessing and experiencing the oppressions and miseries made by Japanese colonial authorities, he participated in the Korean Independence Movement and the Chinese Revolution moving throughout such areas as Korea, Japan, Machuria, Shanghai, Beijing and Guangdong.
He was born in Youngcheon, Pyongan Bukdo located in the northern part of Korea to a poor farming family in 1905 just before Korea's colonial annexation by Japanese imperialism in 1910.
But after witnessing and experiencing the tragic and cruel suppression by Japanese colonial authorities of Korean people's March Independent Movement in 1919 which he participated to and was imprisoned for three days, he decided to learn revolutionary theories to help expel the imperialists from his home country and to achieve national independence.
As a student at Tokyo he met many people of different types and levels, and was an avid reader of diverse subjects.
He concluded that the new theory to save Korea can be found in the Soviet Russia, and returned back to Korea shortly en route to Russia.
He walked a 300 meters long way to be enrolled in the Shin Heung Military Academy which had been founded by Korean immigrants for the purpose of educating the Korean Independent Army leaders.
Since then, like many of his Korean contemporaries, he became a Socialist revolutionary not only with this experience of colonial agony, but also under the radicalizing influence of the Russian Revolution in 1917.
Believing that the first step for the Korean liberation from Japan's rule would be the success of the communist revolution in Mainland China and determined to actively participate in its progress, he left Korea and went to Beijing, China in 1921.

While working at the Northern Area Committee of the Communist Party of China, he was married to a Chinese woman and worked as a railway worker for a short time.
He founded the Alliance for the Liberation of the Korean People in Shanghai in July 1936, and became a representative of Korean revolutionaries in the organization in August 1936.
He also lectured Chinese Red Army members physics, chemistry, mathematics, Korean and Japanese courses at the Military and Political Academy for Fighting against Japan in Yan'an, China in 1937.
He was reinstated by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in January 1983 after his son had requested the recovery of his father's honor in 1978.

It provides a measure to President of Pakistan acting on advice of Prime Minister of Pakistan to extend the tenure of Chief of Army Staff (COAS) by three years.
On 19 August 2019, Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan announced that he has extended the tenure of Chief of Army Staff, Qamar Javed Bajwa for another three years.
The original tenure was supposed to end on 29 November 2019, on which date Bajwa would have been retired sans this extension.
Soon after the announcement of extension, a petition was filed into Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) requesting the court to look into the matter as the petitioner believed that the Government of Pakistan did not follow proper procedures outlined in law and the Constitution of Pakistan.
On 28 November 2019, Just one day before Bajwa's potential retirement, a three member bench of SCP headed by then Chief Justice of Pakistan, Asif Saeed Khosa and composed of justices Syed Mansoor Ali Shah and Mazhar Alam Miankhel issued a short order nullifying the government's extension notification while temporarily extending Bajwa's tenure for six months.
SCP ordered the government to put the matter of extension into the law in under six months sans which Bajwa will stand retired as of 29 November 2019.
On 26 December 2019, the Government of Pakistan filed a review petition in SCP against the 16 December judgement and requested composition of a larger bench to hear the review petition.
This gave an indication that the government might not be looking into complying with the original order until the review petition is decided.

Like standard Japanese particles, they act as suffixes, adpositions or words immediately following the noun, verb, adjective or phrase that they modify, and are used to indicate the relationship between the various elements of a sentence.
Unlike central Japanese dialects, particles in the Kagoshima dialects are bound clitics, as they have the effect of resyllabifying the last word they attach to.
When a particle starting with a vowel is attached to a word, the final syllable of that word will be fused with the particle and be subject to Kagoshima's vowel coalescence rules as well as other sound changes occurring in this dialect.
If a word's underlying form ends in a moraic nasal, an epenthetic /n/ is inserted between the word and the particle.
Satsugū, like other Western Kyūshū and Ryukyuan dialects, is notable in that this original distinction is, to a certain extent, kept.
The second is that it can be used to indicate assertion or volition when following a verb in its plain form.

The Fort of São Filipe de Setúbal, also referred to as the São Filipe Castle or the São Filipe Fortress, is in the city of Setúbal in the Setúbal District, of Portugal.
The fort was built on the orders of Philip II of Spain (Philip I of Portugal), who personally witnessed the laying of the cornerstone of the new fortification in 1582.
It stands in a dominant position on the right bank of the mouth of the Sado River, overlooking the centre of Setúbal to its east.
The fortification of the stretch of coastline around Setúbal dates back to the 14th century, with the construction at sea level of the Fort of Santiago do Outão, which was intended to control the Sado river access to the medieval village.
During the reign of King John III in the first half of the 16th century there were plans to expand Setubal’s defences with the construction of a castle, but the financial difficulties faced at that time by the Crown made this impossible.
At the time of the Philippine Dynasty (1580-1640), Philip II of Spain ordered the construction of a new fortification on a hill adjacent to the city, to reinforce the defence of Setúbal.
Recent scholars, however, have argued that the intention of the fort was also to protect a garrison loyal to the Philippine Dynasty and provide a clear indication of the Spanish king’s power, as the people of Setúbal had shown considerable opposition to Spanish rule.
The fort was damaged during the 1755 earthquake and the Command House, then the residence of the Governor of Setúbal, was destroyed by fire in the mid-19th century.
It was classified as a National Monument in 1933 and was included in the Nature Park of Arrábida when that was established in 1976.
Conservation work was undertaken in the 1940s and in 1962 parts were converted to a hotel, which opened in 1965 as part of the Pousadas de Portugal chain.

The fort was reopened to the public on 31 March 2017, under the management of the city council, with an information centre and restaurant.
The fortress buildings are on an upper platform, and there is also a small baroque chapel with azulejo tiles showing scenes from the life of Saint Philip.

The Kata'ib Hezbollah militiamen and their Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) supporters and sympathizers attacked the U.S. embassy in the Green Zone in response to U.S. airstrikes on 29 December 2019 that targeted weapons depots and command and control installations of Kata'ib Hezbollah across Iraq and Syria.
The attack occurred amidst the backdrop of the 2019–20 Persian Gulf crisis, leading the United States to blame Iran and its non-state allies in Iraq for orchestrating the attack, which Iran denied.
The U.S. responded by sending hundreds of additional troops to the Persian Gulf region, including approximately 100 U.S. Marines to reinforce security at the Baghdad embassy.
On 27 December 2019, an Iraqi airbase in Kirkuk province was attacked by more than 30 rockets, killing an American civilian contractor and injuring four U.S. service members and two Iraqi security forces personnel.
On 29 December 2019, retaliatory U.S. airstrikes targeted five Kata'ib Hezbollah —and therefore PMF— weapon storage facilities and command and control locations in Iraq and Syria.
While Iraq's Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi condemned the US air strike, U.S. special envoy Brian Hook said the strikes were a message directed at Iran.
On 31 December 2019, after a funeral was held for the Kata'ib Hezbollah militiamen that were killed by the prior U.S. airstrikes, an angry mob of dozens of Iraqi Shiite militiamen and their supporters marched through the perimeters of Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, marched down Baghdad's Kindi Street, and surrounded an entrance to the U.S. embassy compound.
According to the Associated Press, the Iraqi Security Forces did not attempt to stop the mob and permitted them to pass a security checkpoint.
Dozens of the demonstrators then smashed through a main door of the checkpoint, set fire to the reception area, raised PMF militia flags and anti-American posters and sprayed anti-American graffiti.
Security staff withdrew to the embassy; there was no immediate comment from the Pentagon and the U.S. State Department on the situation.
There were also reports of tear gas being deployed to disperse the intruders as at least three protesters appeared to have difficulties breathing.
By early evening, the mob, which at one point numbered in several hundreds, had largely retreated and protesters had set up tents outside the embassy in an attempted sit-in.
On 31 December 2019, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo identified Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Qais Khazali, Falih Alfayyadh, and Hadi al-Amiri as leaders of the attack on the embassy.
About five hours after the violence first erupted, 30 Iraqi soldiers in seven armored vehicles arrived and deployed near the embassy walls but not near the burning, breached checkpoint.
Reportedly, four vehicles carrying riot police later approached the embassy but were forced back by the protesters who blocked their path.
A detachment of approximately 100 U.S. Marines assigned to a crisis response unit in Kuwait, Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force – Crisis Response – Central Command (SPMAGTF-CR-CC), along with two U.S. Army AH-64 Apache attack helicopters from Taji, Iraq were deployed to secure the embassy.
Mark Esper subsequently announced the immediate deployment of an infantry battalion of about 750 U.S. soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East.
He did not specify their destination, but a U.S. official familiar with the decision said they were to deploy to Kuwait.
Esper said additional soldiers from the 82nd Airborne's quick-deployment brigade, known officially as its Immediate Response Force, were prepared to deploy over the next several days.
The 750 soldiers deploying immediately were in addition to 14,000 U.S. troops sent to the Persian Gulf region since May 2019 in response to concerns about Iranian aggression.
On 1 January 2020, the protests flared up again as demonstrators started a fire on the roof of the reception area, reportedly prompting U.S. Marines to fire tear gas at the crowd, without any significant injuries to the protesters or guards.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo named then-Popular Mobilization Forces deputy chief Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq leader Qais Khazali and PMF commander Hadi al-Amiri (both of which were present at the embassy attack), and PMF chairman Falih Alfayyadh as responsible for the attack; al-Amiri and Alfayyadh were reportedly guests to the White House during the Obama administration.
Hours after Esper's announcement, in the early morning hours of 3 January 2020, the commander of Iran′s Quds Force, Major General Qasem Soleimani, and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis were assassinated in a U.S. drone strike while traveling in a convoy near Baghdad International Airport.
On 26 January 2020, three rockets were fired on the US embassy wounding at least one staff member present in the cafeteria at dinner time, with the nationality of the wounded still undisclosed, other sources reported 3 wounded.

Prior to its construction, inhabitants were between two and three and a half miles from the parish church of St Andrew at Curry Rivel.
The plans for the church were drawn up by Benjamin Ferrey of London and Mr. Maurice Davis of Langport was hired as the builder.
The foundation stone was laid on 20 June 1842, and the church and its cemetery were consecrated by the Bishop of Salisbury, the Right Rev.
The church underwent a £1,500 restoration scheme in 1957–58, after a survey of the building identified essential repairs to be made.
A stained glass window was added to the church in 1866 in memory of the fur dyer and engineer John Appold.

A son of Mirza Munim Beg and a kinsman of Mirza Najaf Khan, he along with his family fled Persia at the rise of Nadir Shah.
Initially a stalwart of the Maratha's he would defect in 1790, in order to check the rising power of Mahadji Scinde.
He would be defeated by the Maratha's at the Battle of Patan whereafter he would flee to Jaipur and thereafter to Jodhpur.
Ismail Beg fled to Madhogarh and when the Maratha's received this intel, Khande Rao would march against Madhogarh where Ismail Beg would be captured in 1792 and imprisoned thereafter in agra fort, only to be put to death in March 1794.
His rights were traded to the Philadelphia 76ers during training camp that year and he was one of the team's last preseason cuts.
The Infinite Recharge game involves two alliances of three teams each, with each team controlling a robot and performing specific tasks on a field to score points.
The game centers around a futuristic city theme involving two alliances consisting of three teams each competing to perform various tasks, including shooting foam balls known as Power Cells into high and low goals to activate a Shield Generator, manipulating a Control Panel to activate this shield, and returning to the Shield Generator to park or climb at the end of the match.
This will be the first season without an enforced six-week build period, with teams able to work on their robot at any time after kickoff.
However, teams are in general not permitted to work on their robot outside of pit hours during an event the team in question is competing at.
The season's kickoff event took place on January 4, 2020 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time and was centered around an impending asteroid impact threatening the FIRST City.
Infinite Recharge is played on a 26 ft 11 1/4 in (~821 cm) by 52 ft 5 1/4 in(~1598 cm) field covered in grey low-pile carpet.
The field is bounded by short transparent polycarbonate guardrails on the longer sides and the taller Alliance Station walls on the shorter side.
The Alliance Station is where drivers control their robots, human players deliver game pieces to robots, and opposing alliance robots shoot game pieces.
The center player station is flanked on one side by the loading bay, and on the other side by the opposing alliance's power port.
There are five places that game pieces can be put into the Loading Bay, with two upper ports, and three ground ports.
The Trench Run is an approximately 4 ft by 18 ft rectangular area on each side of the field bounded by alliance-colored tape that contains the alliance's Control Panel.
An alliance's Power Port is located at the opposing alliance's Alliance Station, requiring robots that intake from the Loading Bays to drive across the field in order to score Power Cells.
The hexagonal Outer Port is located above the Bottom Port, and is worth four points during the autonomous period, and two points in teleop.
The Inner Port is located inside of the Outer Port, and is a much smaller circular hole set in the back of the Outer Port.
Upon scoring a Power Cell into any port, one point is credited towards reaching Capacity, regardless of where it is scored.
Lights around the Power Cell indicate progression towards reaching a stage's Capacity, lighting up in a chase pattern when Capacity is reached but the extra condition is yet to be fulfilled.
They are large discs, with eight colored wedges (red, yellow, blue, and green, repeated once) printed on both the top and bottom.
After activating Stage 1 and reaching Stage 2’s capacity, an alliance may may score 10 points by performing Rotation Control on the Control Panel.
This entails rotating the Control Panel to a certain color specified by the Field Management System through a message sent to each team's driver's station.
An alliance's Rendezvous Point is located underneath the Shield generator, and is marked with each alliance's color on three sides, with the fourth side being a black line separating the two Rendezvous Points.
Alliances gain 5 points for each robot parked there when the game ends or 25 for each robot hanging, which will be explained below.
During the final 30 seconds of a match, robots may extend up and attach to the bar on the bottom of the switch.
Each robot attached to the switch and off the ground at the end of the match is worth 25 extra points.
The switch is able to swing back and forth when robots attach to it, and there is an additional 15 point bonus for balancing the switch within ~8 degrees of level.
An additional ranking point will also be given to an alliance if their endgame score (ie., that of climbing and parking) exceeds 65 points, which makes the Shield Generator operational.
To ensure high placement, it is not only important to win matches, but to complete the secondary objectives as well, to amass as many Ranking Points as possible.
Starting in the 2020 season, the FIRST Championship will not move to a stadium for FTC and FRC final matches as well as closing ceremonies.
On January 30, 2020, FIRST announced that the two Beijing Cultural Exchange regional events that were scheduled for Weeks 3 and 4 would be postponed until after the FIRST Championship due to the 2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak.
As teams will not have an opportunity to qualify for the 2020 Championship through these events, teams that win Championship-qualifying awards at these two events will qualify for the 2021 Championship instead.
However the movement began to disappoint Albanians as it didn't bear the fruit which they hoped for, and so, it was abandoned.
Rugova was critical of the Albanian resistance movement as he believed it was dangerous for civilians to venture out on the streets without the danger of being abused.
In 1997, Rugovas gandhism was criticised by the LDK-party and others, and the government in Tirana began holding meetings with Rugovas opposition parties.
The movements aim was to change the previous Albanian culture to act in a way favourable to the international community on a local and international level.

The basic structural unit of chromatin is the nucleosome: this consists of the core octamer of histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) as well as a linker histone and about 180 base pairs of DNA.
The post-translational modification of histone tails by either histone modifying complexes or chromatin remodelling complexes are interpreted by the cell and lead to complex, combinatorial transcriptional output.
It is thought that a Histone code dictates the expression of genes by a complex interaction between the histones in a particular region.

The Paris of the Second Empire in Baudelaire (1938) is one of a diptych of completed essays that was composed during the preparatory outlining and drafting phase of Walter Benjamin's uncompleted composition of The Arcades Project.
Benjamin began translating Baudelaire's poetry in 1914 or 1915 when he was twenty-two years of age, and his work on these translations became intensive in the early 1920s.
In the late twenties, he began to collect material and ideas for a history of the emergence of urban commodity capitalism in Paris around 1850 (this study eventually evolved into The Arcades Project).
In 1937, at the urging of Max Horkheimer, Benjamin reconceptualized the Arcades Project as a study of Baudelaire that would draw on the central concerns of the project as a whole.
Each section is devoted to a large scale historical phenomenon of which Baudelaire plays the part of the exemplar or specimen.

The Dhaka Subway, as distinct from the Dhaka Metro Rail (Bengali: ঢাকা মেট্রো), is an underground urban rail network being planned in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, by the Bangladesh Bridge Authority(BBA); an autonomous body responsible for the building and maintenance of bridges, tunnels, flyovers, and overpasses in Bangladesh, and a division of the Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges.
This is being done at the behest of the Honourable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who pledged to launch the Dhaka Subway at an election rally in Gulshan prior to the 2018 elections.
The Dhaka Subway was conceived as a separate transport system to the proposed Dhaka MRT (mass rapid transit) network, or Dhaka Metro Rail.
The Dhaka Metro Rail, under development by the Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL), will provide five MRT lines and two BRT (bus rapid transit) lines.
The other three MRT lines, along with BRT Line 7, are in various planning stages; with the MRT lines being mostly underground.
In spite of the fact that the Dhaka Subway and the Dhaka Metro Rail are separate systems being planned by different authorities, it is expected that they will be incorporated into a single mass transit system at some point in the future.
The Consultancy Services originally envisaged a Dhaka Subway network of 90km, consisting of four lines, with stations spaced at an average distance of approximately one kilometre.
A number of geotechnical and geophysical surveys and investigations are to be carried out at a total of 250 locations, with boreholes being drilled at 180 of these.
Boreholes are to be drilled at proposed station locations, with seismic CPTU tests to be carried out at intermediate locations between stations.
Traffic and transportation surveys, including household interviews, traffic counts, roadside origin/destination surveys, travel time and delay studies, and public transport surveys are also being carried out.
The RSTP was prepared by the Dhaka Transport Coordination Authority (DTCA) under the auspices of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Potential Dhaka Subway lines, or corridors, were drawn; between MRT and BRT lines, to pass through areas of dense development, to connect key transport connection points and points of interest, and to connect MRT lines.
The routes for the Dhaka Subway network have been planned to enhance and compliment the MRT and BRT networks, in terms of both coverage and connectivity, and in order to create a single, integrated mass transit system for Dhaka in the future.
Stations were located in densely developed areas, as far as possible, so as to maximize commuter capture, but in such a way as to minimize or reduce land acquisition, building demolition, resettlement, and impact to traffic during construction.
This network, which would be expected to provide close to full coverage to most of central Dhaka City and would potentially consist of 9 subway lines covering a total of approximately 240km, and include over 200 stations, is now being investigated.

The Lancaster oilfield is an offshore oil field in United Kingdom territorial waters west of Shetland and north of mainland Scotland in water depths of around .
It comprises licence blocks 205/21a, 205/22a, 205/26b and 205/22b in Licence P1368 (Central), all of which are fully owned by Hurricane Energy.
Production costs for 2020 are forecast to be $20 per barrel and are expected to fall to $17/bbl and perhaps as low as $15/bbl in 2021 as production ramps up.
In 2009, Hurricane Energy drilled well 205/21a-4 much deeper into the naturally fractured basement and discovered a substantial column of light crude oil with 38° API and a flow rate of of oil per day.
Both figures were constrained by surface equipment capabilities and it was reported that the well could deliver per day with a modest 120psi drawdown under production conditions.
This will be used to generate revenue and evaluate the reservoir properties over an initial testing period expected to take 6 to 12 months followed by a production period for the remainder of the duration.
Revenue generated from oil sales will help to fund further activities in the Lancaster Field and the adjacent Halifax, Warwick and Lincoln fields.
Following a 72-hour production test during which the planned production rate of of oil per day was achieved, a press release announcing first oil was issued on 4 June 2019.
When announcing first oil, Hurricane Energy forecast that production for the first three months would be of oil per day and per day for the following three months giving a combined average of of oil per day for the first six months with production being constrained by testing activities.
Each of the two production wells has flowed at more than of oil per day without the need for ESP assistance.
The natural flow rates are 211% higher than previous tests for the 205/21a-6 well and 153% higher than previous tests for 205/21a-7Z.
Well 205/21a-6 has demonstrated a PI of 205 stb/psi/d (29.3% above previous tests) and well 205/21a-7Z has demonstrated a PI of 190 stb/psi/d (28.1% above previous tests).
Hurricane Energy is continuing to test and analyse the reservoir properties and expects to update its assessment of the Lancaster Field during 2020.
Production from first oil until the end of 2019 averaged of oil per day which is 20.9% higher than was forecast when first oil was announced.
Production in 2020 is expected to be of oil per day, planned as per day at 85% uptime, which includes allowances for operational downtime and shut-ins for potential tie-ins and/or de-bottlenecking.
The Oil and Gas Authority has required that Hurricane Energy spuds at least one additional sub vertical well before 22 December 2021 in order to further establish the size of the Lancaster Field.
This will enable surplus natural gas to be transported to Sullom Voe Terminal in the Shetland Isles of Scotland for processing rather than being flared.
It is hoped that the link between the Aoka Mizu and WOSP will be operational by the end of March 2021.
The production capacity of the Aoka Mizu is forecast to increase to of oil per day in 2022, planned as per day at 87.5% uptime.
Some of this capacity is currently intended to be used for the adjacent Lincoln oilfield, in which Hurricane Energy has a 50% stake, pending full field development of that asset.
A full field development final investment decision for the Lancaster Field is currently forecast to be made in mid 2022 with first oil expected around three years later.

It has a masthead sloop rig with aluminium spars, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel.
There are also four fixed ports in the main cabin, plus fixed, flush-mounted deadlights over the galley and the forward berths.
The mainsail boom has a topping lift and two internal reefs, an internal outhaul and a boom vang with a 4:1 mechanical advantage.
It was built between 1916 and 1918 as the residence of the family of a factory owner, and it was designed by Johan Wilhelm Hanrath.
It was built on the north side of the Bredaseweg, where ribbon development of large detached houses with gardens started to take a hold in the 1930s.
The government organization Staatsbosbeheer inherited the property from Charles Janssen, Jos' son, in 1986 with the request to conserve the mansion for at least 25 years.
It subsequently served as a regional headquarters for that organization, and it was renovated in the late 1980s, adding among other things a fire escape.
According to the Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed, the building has cultural-historical importance as it serves as an example of the construction of estates along the arteries entering industrial towns.
Furthermore, it has important value within the oeuvre of architects Hanrath and Springer, and its interior and exterior are in a good condition.
Staatsbosbeheer tried to sell the mansion in 2015 for an asking price of around €950,000, preferably for residential usage and not to a developer.
This last condition was later dropped, and the asking price was raised to €1.85 million before it was lowered again to €1.6 million in 2019.
Because the estate agent did not manage to sell the property, Staatsbosbeheer dropped the preference for residential usage and a private seller later that year, although the zoning plans still required an alteration to allow for extensions or other uses.
The central hall on the ground floor connects to most rooms including the living room and a drawing room with teak panelling.
Another passage has a backdoor and the entrance to the kitchen, that is fitted with an intercom to deliver messages to the other rooms.
The central hall also contains the three-part staircase, that is made out of Scots pine wood and leads to the first floor.
The forested garden with a size of was designed by landscape architect Leonard Springer, who was also responsible for the Leijpark in Tilburg.
In the original design, the entrance of the teahouse, consisting of sliding doors, with windows in the doors and on either side, was located behind the veranda.
Connor Tupai (born 8 December 1999) is a New Zealand born rugby union player currently playing for Northampton Saints in Premiership Rugby.
Connor is the son of Paul Tupai who played over one thousand rugby union games for club and country across a 28-year playing career.
Following a tour to England with Samoa rugby, he was spotted by Budge Pountney, director of rugby at Northampton Saints at the time.
Tupai joined the Northampton Saints junior academy at a young age and was awarded his first professional contract with the club’s senior academy in 2018.
The young scrum half appeared in his first Northampton senior game in the annual Mobbs Memorial Match against the Army Rugby Football Club in 2018.
Hosted at Franklin’s Gardens, the Saints team failed to win a game and did not progress in the competition, ultimately won by Saracens.
Following a steady string of off the bench appearances for Northampton, Tupai started his first European Rugby Champions Cup game against Leinster at the age of 20.
The Celtic currency of Britain were the various items and coins used as currency between approximately 200 BC and AD 60.
Coin production was largely ended by the Roman conquest of Britain, first by the Claudian invasion of AD 43 and later by the Defeat of Boudica in AD 60 or 61.
Coin use is usually divided into a core area which covers the home counties as well as parts of Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire.
This was surrounded by a periphery of coin using groups some of which, the Corieltauvi, Durotriges, Dobunni and Iceni, appear to have minted their own coinage.
The coins in the core area are generally attributed to the Atrebates and Cantii in the areas south of the Thames and the Trinovantes and Catuvellauni to the north.
Historically this falsification may have been driven by farm-workers wanting to hide that they had taken the coins from their employer's land.
More recently, false provenances have been produced to hide the source of coins looted by metal detectorists such as the mass looting of the Wanborough Temple site.
There are variances in the surviving texts, meaning that it is possible the original text was referring to iron ring money.
John Lesley, writing in the 16th century, claimed that leather money had been issued in Scotland in the second century BC.
First, a fairly exact amount (accuracies of a few milligrams or better have been recorded) of metal would be weighed out in the form of powder or nugget.
The lower die would be concave in order to hold the blank in place while the upper die would be convex.
The dies were frequently larger than the blanks being struck, resulting in only part of the design appearing on the coin.
Experimental archeology suggests that a lower die could be expected to last for up to 10,000 strikes depending on the level of wear deemed acceptable.
Upper dies seem to have a far greater range of lives, with usable lives ranging from just over 100 strikes to nearly 8,000 being reported.
Combining archaeological evidence with historic records suggests ancient coin producers could get as many as 47,000 strikes out of an individual die.
It is possible that in some cases, instead of moulds being used, the metal would be melted and poured onto a flat surface.
A number of coins from the period consisting of a base metal core and a precious metal coating have been found.
These would have been made by coating the base metal with a thin layer of precious metal, then striking the blank.
While these coins for the most part appear to have been straightforward forgeries, some appear to have been struck using the same dies as non forgeries, making their status less clear.
The patterns on the coins were produced by pressing a pattern into the clay or, in simpler cases, scratching lines in it.
The earliest coins to appear in the British archaeological record are third or fourth century BC Carthaginian bronzes, although it seems unlikely that they were used as currency.
Other coins from the end of the third century and start of the second century BC have been found but there is no evidence for their use as currency and the situation is complicated by contamination by modern losses.
Post antiquity a direct trade route for Greek coins into Britain has existed since the creation of the Levant Company in the late 16th century.
On the reverse they carried an image of a Biga chariot being pulled by two horses and carrying a figure wielding a whip.
Six series of Gallo-Belgic staters issues are known as A through to F with subtypes such as AA and AB (in this case defined by the direction in which the bust faces).
A die for striking Gallo Belgic A coins has been found in Bredgar, Kent but it isn't clear if it was used for official strikes or forgeries.
Ambiani coins have been found along the south coast of the West Country, possibly arriving there as the result of trade across the English channel.
Kentish cast bronzes (historically referred to as Thurrock potins) appear to have been the first coins made in Britain dating from the end of the second century BC.
They appear to have circulated mainly in Kent and were based on coins issued by Massalia (now Marseille in modern France).
Although potins were around at the same time as the first British gold coins they aren't found together which suggests they served a different role in society.
Potins continued to circulate for some time after the Roman conquest of Britain and they have been found in burials dating to the late Roman period.
The first known British stater was based on the Gallo-Belgic C stater and appears to have been made by melting down said staters and re-striking them.
It is referred to as the British A stater or the Westerham and Ingoldisthorpe stater, and was probably made shortly after 100BC.
At much the same time or shortly afterwards, a range of uninscribed British starters was produced by various groups, with inscribed coins not appearing until after 50BC.
As with the Gallo-Belgic staters, these coins have been divided into a number of series which have in turn been divided into various subtypes.
The coins consisted of gold staters based on the British L stater, gold quarter staters, and silver and bronze coins of lower value.
His bronze and silver coins developed over time from Celtic-influenced designs to those influenced by a very wide range of Mediterranean coinage.
These coins were inscribed COMMIOS and appear to have been issued by the son of the Commius mentioned by Julius Caesar in his writings, although it is possible that the first of these coins was issued by the original Commius.
The only coins with the COMMIOS inscription are gold staters, but quarter starters and silver coins have been linked to the series.
Tincommius initially issued coins that followed much the same pattern as Commius but at the end of the first century BC switched to heavily Roman-inspired designs with what has been called the proto-classical series.
In all Tincommius's coins have been divided into 4 series; first the Celtic then the Proto-classical, followed by the Crude and Classical which appear to have been struck around the same time.
Tincommius issued silver coins as well as gold and his Roman-derived silver coins have a metal content that suggests they were made from melted down Denarii.
However find-spot data suggests that they may both (if there were indeed two mints) have operated in the vicinity of modern Chichester or alternatively it possible that one of the mints was located at Calleva Atrebatum.Tincommius's gold staters weighed around 5.3g while his gold quarter staters weighed around 1.03g.
In particular the gold coins Eppillus had circulated in the area around Calleva Atrebatum were thicker than those circulated in Eppillus's holdings in northern Kent and the silver coins heavier.
The style of the coins suggests a different die cutter in each region with a few cases of each cutter producing a die for the other region.
The coins issued around Calleva Atrebatum represent something of a break from previous styles although some of them appear to have derived design elements from the coins of Tincommius as well as various Roman denari.
A small number of coins have been found in kent that appear to have been jointly minted by Eppillus, Tincommius and a third leader named Verica.
The style of these coins is similar to those circulated in Eppillus's holdings in northern Kent with elements similar enough to suggest a common die cutter.
Eppillus and Tincommius appear to have had their holdings taken over by Verica who from around AD 10 issued gold staters and quarter staters based on those of Tincommius and Eppillus.
Differences in style between coins suggests that Verica was operating two mints one using an engraver formerly employed by Eppillus and the other derived from Tincommius.
Verica's stater series weighed between 5.27g and 5.29g while the gold content varied between 42% and 44.5% The gold content appears to have remained stable over time with no sign of debasement.
The first inscribed coinage in this area appear to have been struck by the Corieltauvi around AD 1 and were closely based on the proceeding British K stater.
The coins were inscribed with the letters VEP and it has been suggested that this and other inscriptions refer to the names of leaders.
The standard denominations appear to have been staters, silver units and silver half units although some of the rarer inscriptions haven't been found in all denominations.
Its not clear who or what most of the inscriptions on the coins refer to although it has been suggested that ECEN is a version of Iceni.
The defeat of the Iceni and the end of Boudicca's revolt in AD 60 or 61 brought an end to Iceni coin production.
Of the four (Bodvoc, Corio, Comux and Catti) only Bodvoc appears to have issued inscribed silver coins with the others possibly being to connected to various uniscribed silver coins that appear to have been issued in the area.
Unlike their predecessors they did issue inscribed silver units.A branched emblem appears on the obverse of a number of the Dobunni's gold staters.
The symbol's significance and origins are unclear although corn, ferns and a derivative of the wreath on the British Q stater have all been suggested.
The Durotriges issued a series of rapidly debased coins through this period probably starting around 50BC with a largely silver (80%) stater (British B) with a fairly small percentage of gold.
Due to a lack of coins being found in a secure archological context there is some uncertainty over assigning some of the earlier coins to the Durotriges so it is possible true Durotrigian coinage didn't start until a few years later.
Regadless of the starting point the level of silver used in Durotrigian coins rapidly declined until by 30BC their coins were being struck in bronze.
These have been found alongside Roman coins and it certainly seems possible that they were minted after the Roman conquest although the reason for this minting and why it would be allowed is unclear.
The other is a hoard, found near Netherurd, that contained forty-plus Globules à la Croix (bullet coins) along with a number of gold torcs.
The coins were struck in Gaul, possibly in an area to the north-east of Paris although the exact area is far from clear.
With the defeat of the Iceni and the occupation of their territory the minting of Celtic coinage came to an end; the cast coins of Hengistbury Head may have continued a few years longer.
After the first wave of Roman occupation in AD 43 low quality copies of asses appear to have been produced, possibly to make up for a lack of low denomination coins being imported from mints in Rome.
Further production of unclear and possibly varying officialdom took place with the production of cast copies of silver denarii around the year 200.
For example, a single silver unit was found along with 4 sceattas in a deposit near Birchington-on-Sea that has been dated to around 600.

The soundtrack is a mix of South American folk music, jazz, swing and big band sounds, for the game story filled with adventure and intrigue set in a unique combination of film noir and Mexican folklore's Day of the Dead.
The soundtrack garnered critical acclaim and remained subject of positive reviews and inclusion in critics' rankings for the two decades after its first release.
Set in the Mexican folklore's Land of the Dead and with a strong film noir twist, the story follows Department of Death's travel agent Manny Calavera who acts as a guide for recently departed souls as they travel through the Land of the Dead on their way to their final destinations.
This land, meant to be only a place of passage to the final heavenly destination, has been settled by undeserving souls turning it into a land full of film noir-inspired crime and corruption, and making the travel of many departed souls more difficult and treacherous.
The game is one of the most acclaimed adventure games of all time, considered the last great adventure game to be released during the golden age of the adventure game genre.
While composer Peter McConnell himself credits the outstanding directorial work of Tim Schafer, critics emphasized that one of the key components in the excellence of the game was McConnell's outstanding soundtrack.
Tim Schafer, Peter McConnell and other members of the development team had had long and overlapping careers from previous projects at LucasArts.
All this led to McConnell eventually incorporating the charango as one of the unique sounds of the score, along with the Andean flutes quena and tarka.
When later interviewed, McConnell noted his satisfaction of being given ample lead time to compose and produce the score; he first began to work on the project in early 1997, about a year and a half before the game's release.
In order to create a soundtrack that would follow the story of the game and mesh with the different settings within it, McConnell and his team created a digital interface system of little buttons that represented places in the game as a way to visually represent the score.
They then recorded Schafer talking about the game and turned it into little snippets that were assigned to those plot points.
This was done using LucasArts iMUSE proprietary adaptive music system that McConnell himself had co-created with Michael Land a few years earlier.
McConnell would then come up with a theme by humming a tune, record it in a cassette, play it back to Schafer, and eventually replace the plot points narration with those tunes.
Rather than fully develop each piece one at a time, his approach was to create a short sketch for each situation in the game of about 15 seconds long and then move on as soon as he felt he had hit the target and gotten the gist of the mood.
This allowed him to be more productive, as it was easier and less stressful to later on in the process develop full pieces based on already existing sketches, instead of rushing to develop completely novel compositions from scratch as the completion deadline neared.
McConnell used the limited MIDI composition palette of the time, a couple of EMU E4 samplers (with 128MB RAM each), a Roland GMIDI Sound Canvas, and one or two other sound modules.
In the original production, the orchestral elements of the score were digitally synthesized, due to the common budgetary and technological limitations on gaming audio of the time.
McConnell understood that the atmosphere of the game was bringing together a noir story that was familiar to the Anglo-American audience, with a Latin culture that may have been less familiar.
The Mission district was a source of inspiration with its rich and eclectic music scene, also turned out to be key in the recording of the score, with all the live musicians being connected to it.
A 43-minute version with 32 tracks was concurrently released in 1998 as a CD album, sold at the LucasArts online company store.
The soundtrack was very well received at its original release, and it continued to receive praise years after, often considered one of the best game soundtracks of all time.
McConnell had made the most of the resources he had for the score's original production, which meant devoting more of them where they could make the greatest impact while cutting corners in other areas.
Even though, for example, he wished he had been able to find a better-sounding piano sample, he did not regret not recording the piano live as it would have meant compromising the quality of more important parts given the time and budget constraints.
However, he had long wished to revisit the score if the opportunity arose, to fix and enhance the various aspects that had not been viable during the original production.
In 2013, Disney made the strategic decision to turn LucasArts into a publisher-only of video games, and licensing out its intellectual property.
Tim Schafer, who had also long been eager to revisit and re-release the game and make it available to new platforms and to new generations, seized the opportunity and was able to acquire the rights to the game, in partnership with Sony.
He believed that while the original jazz music came out well, the orchestral part, done with 1997-era digital samples and a limited budget, did not fully match his vision.
Rob Cowles, a marketer at LucasArts was credited for saving the assets while LucasArts was being acquired by Disney in 2012.
McConnell remarked how their retrieval was a technical feat requiring specialized hardware and expertise Jory Prum (who then did the sound mixing for the orchestral pieces) spent two months recovering the data, with the use of DLT drive, an old Mac with a SCSI drive, and an old piece of software called Retrospect Remote.
The fact that McConnell was able to open a Pro Tools session from 1997 on a new version of Pro Tools also proved key in being able to use the files.
Except for the anecdotal disappearance of two cymbal hits, this process succeeded in recovering all the data of the three-hour score.
Given the unique opportunity to re-visit a project first developed 17 years earlier in his career, McConnell was asked how different would the soundtrack be if he had developed it from scratch at the time of remastering.
To stay within the budget, McConnell felt he had to choose carefully which pieces would get the most attention and how.
After the original Pro Tools sound files were recovered, he found that some of the digital samples he had used originally did not sound good, and the team opted to re-mix, re-sample, add additional tracks, and re-orchestrate different parts of the score.
The involvement of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) in the orchestration of the Grim Fandango soundtrack grew out of several prior collaborations that McConnell had had with the orchestra.
McConnell praised MSO, for their outstanding level of musicianship and focus and care; how they worked well together and reinforced yet again his notion from his early days in LucasArts that having a great team was of the highest value.
During the original production of the score, McConnell had never imaged that it would one day be re-recorded with a live orchestra.
That meant that his composition was unconstrained by considerations of flow and changes of tempo that a real orchestra would have to contend with.
Rather, in order to make it sound more lively during the original digital production, McConnell had intentionally incorporated many tempo changes.
While it would have been possible to do live recordings of full songs with big tempo changes, it would have required an intensive rehearsal, meaning more time and costs.
So when the opportunity came to re-record with the MSO, McConnell tried to save time by planning the recording by breaking cues into smaller segments, recording those one at a time, and then put them back together like a puzzle.
Pyramind studios composers Clint Bajakian and Jeremy Garren imported McConnell's original audio mixes into Cubase 7 along with MIDI tracks that were assigned to modern sample libraries residing on two slave PCs running Vienna Ensemble Pro loaded with leading sample libraries.
Bajakian also added live classical guitar parts that were not covered in 1998 using the same instrument he played back then.
The team faced the challenge to adjust MIDI parameters to maximize realism and sonic quality while preserving McConnell's original artistic intent.
McConnell estimated that he put in himself about 800 hours into the remastering project, in arranging, sample replacement, preparing for orchestration, mixing, and reviewing the music, resulting in over 2 hours of music that was completely overhauled, in addition to the 45 minutes of music the team had already recorded live in the original version.
It had a standard release of 37 tracks, as well as a Director's Cut with 14 extra tracks (the latter sold exclusively through Sumthing Else).
It included the original score from the LucasArts archives, new compositions by Peter McConnell and new orchestral arrangements, as well as new extended versions of jazz pieces re-mixed at Sony Computer Entertainment America.
In 2019, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the original release of the game, the soundtrack was released for the first time in vinyl format.
Later the same year, an evening gala was organized in tribute of the soundtrack during the inaugural edition of the Game Music Festival in the National Forum of Music of Poland.
Parts of the score was performed live, with a 100 pages of musical arrangements prepared by Bartosz Pernal in cooperation with McConnell, who attended and performed in the event.
The project cemented a close working relationship between Schafer and McConnell that continued for decades after their work together at LucasArts.
This was accomplished with the use of the pioneering iMUSE software, previously created by McConnell and Michael Land, and it heralded the age of dynamic and cinematic music experiences in video games.

For more than half a century after the Second World War, he worked on the grounds, restorations and with the Ottoman archives in Sofia, Istanbul and Ankara.
After graduating from technical college in 1929, he worked in the designer's office and at the Odessa Industrial Institute/Odessa Polytechnic Institute, then at the Moscow design office.
He constructed, among others MP-6 cannon, and during the war with Nazi Germany a NS-37 cannon (together with A. Suranov), which was later installed on board LaGG-3, Yak-7B and Yak-9T military aircraft.
In 1943 he became the head and main constructor of the Experimental Design Bureau-16 (OKB-16), which he remained until 1987; in 1944, again with A. Suranov, he constructed a NS-23 cannon.
He completed his Oriental studies at Cambridge University, where he defended his doctorate on „The Ottoman Fleet in the Age of Sultan Suleiman I (1520-1566)”.
His research interest is focused on the history of the Ottoman Empire until the 17th century and on Islamic law, in particular on the system of Ottoman law, until the 17th century.

While it is the third-largest mayonnaise brand in the United States (behind Hellmann's and Kraft), its popularity was at first largely limited to the South.
In August 1917, she and her daughter Martha began selling sandwiches at YMCA-run Army canteens to help make money for her family.
Due to requests from soldiers at nearby Camp Sevier (a National Guard Training Camp) and other customers (she had quickly expanded the places where she sold her sandwiches), she started bottling her mayonnaise around 1923.
She was active in working towards passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution granting women the right to vote.
Kling was born on June 15, 1833 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the third of nine children born to Micheal and Elizabeth Kling.
Kling took a job as a clerk in Bain's Hardware store and soon saved up enough money to buy the store.
At the dawn of the U.S. Civil War, Kling was a solid Republican, not because of opposition to slavery but rather because it was better for business.
He was on the boards of the Marion Telephone Company, the Marion National Bank, and the Columbus and Toledo Railroad, as well as owning a share in the Marion Hotel.
He had Florence learn business skills by having her do accounting at the hardware store at a young age and ensured she received a good education.
His commitments to civic endeavors were calculated to bring him in more money, and he did not provide money for local efforts without having a controlling voice.
He expanded his influence by joining the local agricultural society and becoming its president, becoming a member of the school board, and overseeing the construction of the new courthouse and opera house.
After the divorce, Kling and his wife raised the boy while Florence was free to make a living as a piano teacher.
When Kling found out that his daughter was dating a young newspaper publisher named Warren Harding in 1886, he was furious.
Harding had previously been critical of Kling's dealings with the government, but what most infuriated Kling was a rumour that Harding had partial black ancestry.
Despite threatening to shoot the young man at the courthouse and ruin his newspaper, Kling could not stop his daughter from marrying Harding on July 8, 1891.
When Harding ran for state senate in 1899, Kling unsurprisingly opposed him, spreading the black ancestry myth and attempting to get his friend Mark Hanna involved, ultimately to no avail as Harding won the election.
Kling gradually warmed somewhat to his son-in-law, writing him a letter apologizing for past malice and inviting the Harding couple on European vacations.
Florence was having her own kidney troubles at the time so Harding visited the old man, who was optimistic about recovery.
Despite their strained relationship, his daughter received $35,000 and valuable real estate in the will, as well as managing a trust fund for Vetallis.
He additionally granted $25,000 to his three grandchildren apiece, $5,000 to brothers George and Donald, and donated $10,000 to the Ladies' Home Association.
Since he still counseled Warren against engaging in politics, Kling's death ultimately paved the way for Harding's political rise, first to U.S.
In the late twenties, Walter Benjamin began to collect material and ideas for a history of the emergence of urban commodity capitalism in Paris around 1850 (this study eventually evolved into The Arcades Project).
The construction of the Arcades in the earlier half of the 19th century is described as well as attendant innovations (eg.
The new methods requisite for the construction of the arcades grow out of the innovation of pre-fabricated iron-rails for the new rail transportation system which is beginning to be built around the world at this time.
Daguerre begins as a panorama painter, a genre of painting whose climax coincides with the appearance of the arcades (which would often be decorated with panoramic paintings).
Here Benjamin examines the way in which the World Exhibitions (preceded by National Industrial Exhibitions) give birth to the entertainment industry and for the first time begin to cultivate workers as consumers, providing a foundation for the transformation of the world and its contents into commodities.
Originally an eighteenth-century illusionistic optical device by which shadows of moving figures were projected onto a way or screen, phantasmagoria, as Benjamin uses the term to evoke the network of commodities when they function within extensive networks, suppressing human rational capacities and appealing instead to the emotions, much as a religious fetish appeals to and organizes a religious belief structure.

When the elder Nickerson died as one of the richest men in Boston, Albert Nickerson inherited several million dollars and was made a director of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and the Mexican Central Railway.
He was married twice, and his second wife, a Miss Lindsay, survived him, as did five children, a brother and a sister.
After he inherited his father's stock in 1880, he joined the boards of both the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and the Mexican Central Railway and held them until his death.
Nickerson lived in Jamaica Plain until 1878 when he purchased the home of a failed Dedham lawyer, Edward S. Rand, near Connecticut Corner in Dedham.
Four years after moving to Dedham, he wanted to build a new house on the highest point of land along Common Street.
Partially as a result of these two setbacks, Nickerson sold the house to his brother George and he moved to an estate on Buzzards Bay in Marion, Massachusetts.
In 1886, he commission the architectural firm of Henry Hobson Richardson to build him a castle on the estate and hired Frederick Law Olmsted's firm to do the landscaping.
Olmsted determined the exact spot upon a hill for the home, laid out the roads on the property and changed the direction of the road rather than cut down a favored tree.
He was a member of Dedham's St. Paul's Episcopal Church, but donated $10,000 towards the construction costs of St. Mary's Church, a Catholic church in Dedham.

Die Kathedrale (English: The Cathedral) is a 1991 German text adventure game developed by and published by Software 2000 for the Amiga and DOS.
The trilogy lacks an overarching plot, and in each entry the setting, role of the protagonist, and goal differ between each game.
The protagonist takes a tour through St. Pauls Kathedrale in the fictional town of Schönau, which is celebrating its 850th anniversary, and in addendum it is the 666th anniversary of the cathedral.
They explore the cathedral and discover letters written by Bernardo da Molina, Victor Paz's assistant, dating back to the 15th century.
The letters suggest that Victor Paz, the architect of the cathedral, hid fifteen deadly traps in the cathedral to enact revenge on the Catholic Church as a whole, but also specifically against the Bishop Sebastian of Altenburg who murdered one of Paz’s relatives under the Inquisition.
It is also later revealed that Paz is the half brother of Jan Hus, a historical figure who was burned at the stake for heresy.
The protagonist must visit three different years in time, and disarm five of the traps in each era; the three years being 1992, 1881 and 1437.
If the protagonist fails to disarm all fifteen traps before the 56 hour time limit, a demon is summoned and kills them, as part of Paz's revenge on the Catholic Church.
Key phrases/topics in dialogue can be clicked to ask characters for further information, or interact with objects, i.e an object can be inspected or the player may ask Dani for her input on a particular subject.
Harald expressed to Elfi that 'he could imagine secrets that the cathedral might hold' and Elfi encouraged him to write about it.

Ratna Manikya I (d. 1487), also known as Ratna Fa, was the Maharaja of Tripura from 1462 to the late 1480s.
Though he had gained the throne by overthrowing his predecessor, Ratna's reign was notable for the peace and prosperity it had entailed in the region.
He extensively reformed and modernised the government and closely allied it with neighbouring Bengal, resulting in a lasting cultural influence in Tripura.
Traditional accounts state that Ratna was the youngest of the eighteen sons of his father, who is named as Dangar Fa (presumably Dharma Manikya).
According to legend, Ratna (then known as Ratna Fa) had proven himself to be the worthiest for the throne out of his brothers by passing a test set by their father.
The King supposedly had a table set for dinner for the princes, but just as they were about to start eating, thirty hungry dogs were released into the room, despoiling their food.
These actions may have been done to preempt a potential fratricidal war among his sons over the succession, as well as out of a potential fear that Ratna would dominate his brothers in such a conflict.
Through his charisma and intelligence, he is said to have gained the affection of the Sultan of Bengal (who chronological evidence identifies as being Rukunuddin Barbak Shah).
Upon his ascension to the throne, Ratna began an extensive administrative reform of his new kingdom, modelling the changes on his observations of the government of Bengal.
The previously unproductive feudal system was reorganised and the government became more complex, with greater numbers of civil servants being employed to maintain it.
The Bengali and Persian languages were introduced into the administration in light of the closer ties to Bengal and resources were delegated to the improvement of agriculture.
Particularly influential were Ratna's experiences with Bengali Hindus, which resulted in him requesting Barbak Shah to send some to live in Tripura.
These were professionals, cultivators and artisans employed to bring the administrative and economic state of Tripura in-line with that of Bengal.
Two members of the latter group, Khandava Ghosha and Pandita Raja, rose to become respected members of Ratna's council of ministers on account of their merit.
This Bengali influence was further felt in the currency, with Ratna being the first monarch to mint coins, mimicking the weight and fabric of those struck by the Sultans of Bengal, whilst also providing evidence of the religious conditions at the time.
All of this indicates that Ratna patronised all sects equally and, alongside records of his charitable deeds (Dāna), show his attempt to adhere to the ideal of a Hindu ruler as advised in the Puranas and Smriti.
Though his rule had laid a stable foundation for his dynasty, his death precipitated a period of confusion and anarchy, with army leaders gaining considerable influence.
It has been argued that by enlisting the aid of Bengal in his bid for the throne, he had opened the floodgates for future incursions by the neighbouring state.
His costly gifts to Barbak Shah had revealed the wealth of Tripura to the foreign court, possibly tempting them towards invasion.
This may be shown by the multiple raids of Alauddin Husain Shah in the following decades, as well as subsequent assults in the 17th century.
The Mortier de 75 modèle 1915 Schneider was a French trench mortar designed and built by Schneider that saw action with the French and Belgian Army during the First World War.
The majority of military planners before the First World War were wedded to the concept of fighting an offensive war of rapid maneuver which in a time before mechanization meant a focus on cavalry and light horse artillery firing shrapnel shells at formations of troops in the open.
However, the theorists hadn't foreseen that trenches, barbed wire, and machine guns would rob them of the mobility and as the Western Front stagnated into trench warfare the light field guns that the combatants went to war with began to show their limitations when facing an enemy who was now dug into prepared positions.
The problem facing the combatants was that their light field guns were designed for direct fire and only had limited angles of elevation and weren't capable of providing indirect fire or the interdiction fire needed to deal with enemy troops in dug-in positions.
The simple expedient was to elevate the guns by having them fire from pits but the weight and size of the guns were excessive for the task at hand since pack animals couldn't move the guns in the trenches or across the quagmire of no man's land.
The Mortier de 75 modèle 1915 was a short-barrelled, breech loaded, rifled mortar with a horizontal sliding-block that fired separate loading cased charges and projectiles.
The barrel was of autofretted monoblock construction which was trunnioned while the sliding-block breech bore no relation to the Nordenfelt eccentric screw breech used by the mle 1897.
The projectiles came from the ubiquitous Canon de 75 modèle 1897 while the casing was a shortened mle 1897 casing which could hold three propellant charges and be reused up to 50 times.
Due to its low velocity and soft recoil the mle 1915 could use large stocks of defective shells with unstable explosives that were produced during the war.
The barrel pivoted at the front of the base and could be traversed by a wooden handle at the rear while levers near the trunnion controlled elevation.
For transport, the mortar could be placed on a two-wheeled wooden cart with two wooden handles and pulled by a team of 5 men or it would be broken down into 14 pieces and carried by soldiers to the front line trenches.
Beginning in September of 1915 regiments of the French and Belgian army was equipped with the mle 1915 and it can be considered a rough equivalent of the 7.58 cm Minenwerfer of the German Army.
However, it was found that despite being able to provide high-angle fire its light shell was little more effective than if it was fired by the Canon de 75 modèle 1897.
The shells lacked the explosive power needed to get at troops in reinforced bunkers and they did not have enough explosive power to destroy trenches.
While the British Stokes mortar could deliver a projectile it had a better rate of fire and only weighed versus the for the mle 1915.

Ruth van Heyningen ( – ) was a British biochemist, recognized for her research on the biochemistry of the lens and of cataracts.
Her father died when she was aged six, and her maternal grandfather, Sir Abraham Garrod Thomas, a doctor involved in local politics, became a major influence in her life.
However, due to the classified nature of her work (it was on the effect of poison gases on metabolically important enzymes, and this was during World War II), she was unable to publish her research and complete her degree.
In 1951, she joined the Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology at the University of Oxford, and conducted research in collaboration with laboratory director Antoinette Pirie.
In the laboratory, her research focused on the biochemistry of the lens, in particular the biochemical pathways involved in the formation of cataracts.
Van Heyningen is credited with discovering novel pathways (such as the sorbitol pathway) involved in cataract formation, as well as pioneering novel techniques to identify relevant compounds and their interactions.
For example, by examining the lenses of diabetic and non-diabetic patients (collected post-surgery or post-portem), she demonstrated that monosaccharide sugars accumulate in the lenses of diabetic patients, generating sugar alcohols that are harmful to the lens.
She remained active in her field of research even after her official retirement in the late 1960s, publishing 20 further articles until 1998.
By the 14th century the village was owned by the von Blankenburg family from Bern The village church was first mentioned in 1228.
This brought Kirchenthurnen under Bernese rule and it became the center of the bailiwick of Thurnen, though in the 18th century it moved to Mühlethurnen.
One of the landowners was Anna Seiler, who established a hospital in Bern and in 1354 willed her landholdings to support the hospital.
In 1528 Bern accepted the new faith of the Protestant Reformation and forcibly secularized the Abbey and its lands, including Lohnstorf.
Today, agriculture is the major industry in the municipality, though about two-thirds of the work force commute to jobs in surrounding towns and cities.
The first mention of the village is in the 14th century when the von Blankenburg family owned land in it and in neighboring Kirchenthurnen.
In 1901 the Gürbetal railroad built a station in the municipality and connected it to the rest of the Swiss rail network.
Northwestern Improvement Company Store, also known as the NWI Building, is a historic building in Roslyn, Washington, the sole structure remaining from the days of the Roslyn Coal Field.
The Roslyn Miners' Memorial, a statue and plaque engraved with the names of miners who died in the Roslyn coal mines, stands in front of Northwestern Improvement Company Store.
The store was built for the Northwestern Improvement Company, a subsidiary of the Northern Pacific Railroad, which operated coal mines on its holdings on the Roslyn–Cle Elum Ridge.
The Roslyn Downtown Association purchased the building from a developer in 2011 with some funds contributed by the state, and has used the building for its offices, a visitors' center, public events, as well as commercial businesses.
In 2017, Heritage Distilling Company, a majority women-owned, family-operated craft distillery in Gig Harbor, opened a tasting room in the old company store building.

The Bostran era (also called the era of Bostra, the Arabian era or provincial era) was a calendar era (year numbering) with an epoch (start date) corresponding to 22March 106AD.
It was the official era of the Roman province of Arabia Petraea, introduced to replace dating by regnal years after the Roman annexation of the Nabataean Kingdom.
The Bostran calendar was used in texts of the Nabataean and Palestinian Jewish varietes of Aramaic, in Greek and in Arabic.
Inscriptions from Arabia Petraea which do not specify the era but simply provide a year number are usually in the era of Bostra.
The dating formula and the use of the Bostran era have no special connection to the city beyond the fact that as the seat of the main Roman military base, it was symbolic of the incorporation of Nabataea as a province.
There are only three inscriptions that use the name of the city of Bostra to clarify the year and they are dated to AD265/6, 397/8 and 538/9.
There are also two inscriptions from AD576/7 and 581/2 in the same calendar that specify the year as being that of Elusa.
Zbigniew Fiema suggests that the Crisis of the Third Century, which ultimately resulted in the division of the province of Arabia, caused locals to see their calendar with its base date corresponding to 106 as distinctly associated with different major cities.
The Bostran era may itself be a spontaneous local response to the political changes which rendered the old Nabataean regnal year numbering impossible.
There was no such office and the Roman legate did not sit at Bostra, rather the inscription awkwardly combines the new dating method with the old one of dating by the Nabataean king's regnal year.
There is some uncertainty whether the era of Arabia was ever used outside the province of Arabia (roughly the Transjordan, the Sinai and the Negev) while the Roman administration was still intact.
Some inscriptions have been tentatively identified as dated by the Bostran era in the neighbouring provinces of Syria to the north or Judea to the west.
A Jewish Aramaic document of AD111 from Masada in Judaea written in Hebrew letters may use the era, but David Goodblatt doubts it.
The inscriptions of 397/8 and 538/9 are from Ḥarrān and ʿAmra, respectively, places not incorporated into the empire until the Severan dynasty (193–235).
There are several Christian inscriptions of the late fifth and early sixth centuries in the Arabic script that bear dates in the Arabian era.

The ship had been the mass grave of hundreds of migrants when it sank in the Mediterranean Sea during the European migrant crisis.
It had a polarizing effect on viewers and commentators, who saw the work as a despicable stunt or poignant tribute that either trivialized or commemorated the hundreds who died onboard.
Without immediate context, the large boat became a prominent photo op for unsuspecting tourists, who later expressed horror on social media upon learning the ship's history.
Another said, regardless of the artist's intention, the ship's display became a form of cynical commentary on the art world's callousness.

It is also known as the I-35 Rivalry since San Antonio and Dallas lie on Interstate 35, it is one of the three National Basketball Association rivalries between teams from Texas, the others featuring Dallas and San Antonio versus the Houston Rockets.
It features two teams with Dallas roots—the Spurs began their life in the ABA as the Dallas Chaparrals and did not move to San Antonio until 1973.
The teams have met numerous times in the playoffs, with the Spurs defeating the Mavericks in 2001, 2003, 2010, and 2014, while the Mavericks defeated the Spurs in 2006 and 2009.
The Spurs have won five championships and six conference titles, while the Mavericks have won one championship and two conference titles.
The Mavericks, run by a trio of Steve Nash, Michael Finley, and Dirk Nowitzki, had just defeated the Utah Jazz despite not having home court advantage and were only starting to meld into a title contender.
Both the Spurs and the Mavericks had 60-win seasons and reached the Western Conference Finals after defeating the Los Angeles Lakers and the Sacramento Kings, respectively.
The rivalry took on a new meaning in 2005 when, near the end of the regular season, Don Nelson would resign as head coach of the Mavericks, apparently satisfied with the state of the team, and hand the coaching reins to former Spur Avery Johnson, the point guard of the 1999 NBA champion Spurs team who hit the game-winning shot against the New York Knicks.
Since Johnson was coached under Spurs' Head Coach Gregg Popovich, he would be familiar with most, if not all, of Popovich's coaching style and philosophy.
During the 2005 offseason, Michael Finley, waived by the Mavericks under the amnesty clause, joined the Spurs in search for the elusive title.
Though Manu Ginóbili could have made a game-winning basket with five seconds on the clock, he committed an error, allowing the ball to bounce away from him with one second remaining.
In the final seconds of the game, Jason Terry was seen punching former teammate Michael Finley under the belt, leading to his suspension for Game 6.
The Mavericks went on to the Conference Finals where they defeated the Suns in six games, but succumbed to the champion Heat in the NBA Finals.
Despite much anticipation of a renewed meeting in the 2007 Western Conference finals, the Mavericks lost to the Golden State Warriors in one of the greatest upsets in NBA history.
The eighth seed Warriors, who made the playoffs on the last game of the NBA season, defeated the 67-win, first-seed Mavericks in six games.
Many Spurs teammates claimed that the drive to win this season was partially to give Finley his first championship, especially since Finley had lost a bitter-fought series to his longtime team the year previous.
Worth noting in a regular season meeting between the two rivals in April 2007, a game that the Spurs won 91–86, Tim Duncan suffered his first career ejection for supposedly laughing while sitting on the bench.
Joey Crawford, the referee who ejected Duncan, allegedly asked Duncan to a fight which led to the longtime ref's season-ending suspension.
The Spurs and Mavericks split the first two games in San Antonio, but Dallas defeated the Spurs in games 3 and 4, both in Dallas.
The Mavericks then went on to close out the series and eliminated the Spurs at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.
In 2010, the Dallas Mavericks matched up against the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs.
During the 2011 playoffs, a role reversal of sorts occurred between the two rivals, when the top seeded Spurs were defeated by the eighth seeded Memphis Grizzlies, the first time an eight seed defeated a one seed since the infamous Mavs-Warriors series of 2007.
In addition, the Mavericks defeated the LeBron James-led Miami Heat in the NBA Finals, similar again to how the 2007 Spurs defeated a LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers team in the Finals.
The Mavericks were swept in the 2012–13 season by the Spurs for the first time since the 1998 season, Tim Duncan's rookie season.
In their last match up of the season, San Antonio escaped with a 92–91 victory over Dallas when a Vince Carter 3-point attempt bounced off the rim at the buzzer.
With the win the Spurs clinched a playoff spot for the 16th straight season, currently the longest streak in the NBA.
In addition, an overtime loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on April 16, 2014 ensured that the Mavericks would face the Spurs once again in the 2014 NBA Playoffs, where the Mavs would be the eighth seed and San Antonio the first.
Dallas managed to reach an 81–71 lead in the fourth quarter, but the Spurs rallied back and took Game 1 at home, 85–90.
However, the Mavs managed to force 22 turnovers in Game 2 to rout the Spurs 113–92, splitting the first two games before the series went to Dallas.
In Game 3, Manu Ginóbili managed to hit a shot that put the Spurs up 108–106 with 1.7 left, but a buzzer beater by Vince Carter gave the Mavs the victory, putting them up 2–1 in the series.

Just outside a tent at the circus, a moustachioed man with a pipe strokes a contented Felix; within the same, an elephant chained sleeps.
From a bucket emerges a mouse; curious on seeing the elephant, the creature climbs the great beast's trunk to the top of his head and performs a few pirouettes.
He then slides down the back into the crook of the elephant's tail which springs up, propelling him back to his previous position atop the elephant's head, whereupon the beast awakens, and, turning up a fearful and confused eye, he sees his little tormentor and stiffens in dread such that his trunk and head become a straight slide down to the floor for the mouse.
His back to the beast as he lands, the mouse leaps to an about-face and puts up his fists in readiness for battle.
The gentle giant quivers terribly, sweating bullets and putting up his forepaws in sign of surrender; he struggles to flee, his tremendous weight & strength hindered but a moment by his chain; he hops and flails about, the pest ever in his way.
We cut as he dives forward: a great mass of tent and elephant sends Felix's caretaker flying off his stool and Felix his paws.
within, and the elephant emerges, tearing the tent as he does and running faster than could be imagined past trees and over hills.
Felix brushes aside a flap of the torn tent to find the mouse within, who picks up the bucket and hurls it at the prying feline's face opening first, ejecting and enveloping him.
Quite, quite stuck, Felix whirls about the air several times in his tiny prison, dropping defeated here but regrouping swiftly and sending the bucket flying off.
The question marks of a moment past give way to an exclamation point of indignation, and in rushes Felix again to confront the cretin.
The mouse gives chase about the floor and up the tent pole, thence to the roof and down the pole again; the vermin slips out from under the wall of the tent and spies a garden hose, wherein he hides just as Felix, spotting his prey, emerges.
The cat leaps on a bulge in the hose, thinking for a moment that he has won; but the clever devil slips away, knocking Felix over.
Felix looks over at the spigot, shakes his fist at the lump, and moves to turn on the water when the mouse emerges from the hose and turns the nozzle on Felix, blasting him through the air and into a tree stump, thence onto his behind where he sits wincing at the smart.
He gets up, sees the haughty rodent still atop his perch, then spies a pile of rocks; he hurls one at the mouse, who deftly evades it.
Spying nearby a plank of wood and what seems to be a piece of pipe, Felix shakes his fist again at the mouse and runs off, reemerging a moment later with a pelican, who stands a little way off.
He stops at a hole in a tree to gaze this way and that; a question mark forms over his head, and he leaps atop that in order to look over the horizon.
Ever resourceful, our feline friend gathers the fanciful emission and makes a lasso, hurling it into the hole in the trunk and catching the pachyderm by his; he pulls the beast out and with him marches off.

Karnak Mountain is a 3,411 meter (11,191 ft) elevation mountain summit located west-southwest of Invermere in the Purcell Mountains of southeast British Columbia, Canada.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Karnak Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.
Jumbo Mountain, sometimes called Mount Jumbo, is a 3,437 meter (11,276 ft) elevation mountain summit located west-southwest of Invermere in the Purcell Mountains of southeast British Columbia, Canada.
Jumbo and Karnak form a double summit massif which is the second-highest mountain in the Purcells, and fourth-highest in the Columbia Mountains.
The peak was named by Edward Warren Harnden after the 1892 Jumbo Mineral Claim on nearby Toby Creek, which in turn was named for Jumbo the elephant.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Jumbo Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.
Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into south into Jumbo Creek which is a tributary of Toby Creek, and meltwater from the Jumbo Glacier on its north slope drains into Horsethief Creek which, like Toby Creek, is also a tributary of the Columbia River.
The hymn was written to reference to the Massacre of the Holy Innocents following the visit of the Biblical Magi to the baby Jesus.
The hymn came about after a United Reformed Church minister approached her and stated that they could not find an appropriate hymn for Epiphany that covered the massacre of the Holy Innocents by King Herod at the end of the Epiphany timeline.
The second verse references -18 where Mary, Joseph and Jesus leave Bethlehem to flee to Egypt and Herod orders the slaughter of the Holy Innocents after realising the Magi have not returned to him.
The verses conclude, saying though a Christian can go through dark times, there will always be the brightness of God at the end.

Frederick Douglass, Jr., (March 3, 1842 - July 26, 1892) was the second son of Frederick Douglass and his wife Anna Murray Douglass.
Born in Bedford, Massachusetts, he was an abolitionist, Essayist, newspaper Editor, and an official recruiter of colored soldiers for the United States Union Army during the American Civil War.
As a youngster while still under his parent’s roof he joined them as active members and conductors of the Underground railroad, receiving fugitives at their Rochester, New York home; feeding and clothing them, and providing safe, warm shelter as they made their way from bondage to freedom, which for many of these meant escape to Canada.
During the War Between the States, Frederick Jr., joined his father as a recruiter of United States Colored Troops for the Union Army and was commissioned a Recruiting Sergeant, attached to the U.S. 25th Colored Infantry.
Although he himself was never a combat soldier during the intrastate conflict, as were his two brothers, he was proud to have been a recruiter in behalf of the Union cause, especially regarding the famous 55th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment.
Both his older brother Lewis Henry Douglass and younger brother Charles Remond Douglass were among the first enlistees in that famed regiment.
He was both a printer and editor, having learned these skills while working as an apprentice on his father's newspaper The North Star, later known as Frederick Douglass’ Paper.
Together with his father and his brother Lewis, he became co-editor of the New Era or New National Era, a journal published specifically for Freedmen, post-civil War freed slaves between the years 1870 to 1874.
This post-abolitionist journal shared much in common purpose with an earlier journal The National Era, also published at Washington, D.C. between the years 1847 to 1860.
When his father, Frederick Douglass, Sr., was appointed United States Marshal by President Rutherford B. Hayes in the year 1877, Frederick, Jr., was made a Bailiff and later attained a clerkship in the office of the Recorder of Deeds during his father's tenure in that role for the District of Columbia.
The senior Douglass had been nominated to this office by President James Garfield in 1881, serving in that office until his resignation following the inauguration of President Grover Cleveland in 1885.
Frederick Douglass Jr., died on July 26, 1892, and was initially interred at Graceland Cemetery beside his beloved wife Virginia Hewlett who had preceded him in death on December 14, 1889.
This later changed with the closing of Graceland Cemetery in 1894; remains were exhumed and removed to Woodlawn Cemetery in the Benning Ridge section of Washington, D.C.

The is an archaeological site containing the remnants of a number of Anagama kilns, from which the roof tiles for the Kamakura period reconstruction of the temple of Tōdai-ji in Nara were made.
The site is located in what is now part of the city of Tahara, Aichi Prefecture in the Tōkai region of Japan.
In 1180 AD, during the Genpei War of the late Heian period, the great temple of Tōdai-ji was burned down by Heike forces.
During the construction of an irrigation dam at the tip of Atsumi Peninsula in 1966, the remnants of a kiln were discovered.
This lent evidence to local legend that the tiles for the temple of Tōdai-ji had been produced from clay in this area.
Further investigation of shards found at the site, as well as earlier finds from the Edo period in this neighborhood, revealed a number of ink markings and inscriptions which were identical to markings on existing tiles preserved at Tōdai-ji.

Since quantum computers are inherently noisy, quantum error correcting codes are used to correct errors that affect information due to decoherence.
Transversal gates can be used to perform fault tolerant but not universal quantum computation by guaranteeing that errors don't spread uncontrollably through the computation.
This is because transversal gates ensure that each qubit in a code block is acted on by at most a single physical gate and each code block is corrected independently when an error occurs.
Due to the Eastin–Knill theorem, a universal set like } gates can't be implemented fault tolerantly because the T gate can't be implemented transversely in the Steane code.
In addition to investigating fault tolerant quantum computation, the Eastin–Knill theorem is also useful for studying quantum gravity via the AdS/CFT correspondence and in condensed matter physics via many-body theory.
The approximate version of the Eastin–Knill theorem is more robust than the original because it explains why it's impossible to have continuous symmetries for transversal gates on the microscopic scale while also explaining how it's possible to have continuous symmetries for transversal gates on the macroscopic scale.

The 2019 K-1 Air Base attack was a rocket attack on the K-1 Air Base in Kirkuk province in Iraq on 27 December 2019.
The air base was one of many Iraqi military bases that host Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR) personnel and was attacked by more than 30 rockets.
The attack occurred during the 2019–20 Persian Gulf crisis and preceded a series of events that eventually brought Iran and the United States to the brink of open conflict.
Not much of the details of the attack was made available and the names of other American military service members wounded in the attack were undisclosed, according to The New York Times.

The four schools involved can trace the beginning of their ice hockey teams to at least 1905 with Yale's inaugural season in 1895–96 serving as the unofficial dawn of college ice hockey.
All four teams ere able to lay claim to a championship since their inception but no formal structure existed to dictate whether one team was superior to another.
At the height of the depression, while many programs were in danger of ending, the ice hockey teams at four of the wealthiest institutions in the United States were able to stabilize their schedules by founding the Quadrangular League.

Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Schencke (January 9, 1869 – June 29, 1946) was a Norwegian specialist in Semitic languages and the history of religion.
In 1896, Schencke applied for a professorship in Old Testament theology, but he felt obliged to withdraw his application because another applicant was already determined to obtain the position.
Most of his lectures had a small number of students, but lectures on more popular topics could have as many as 250 listeners.
One of the reasons for this was that Schencke had many opponents at the Faculty of Theology because of his pronounced agnosticism.
The translation was only available as a handwritten manuscript, and it disappeared from the University of Oslo Library in the fall of 1946.
The only fellowship recipient that studied under him was Albert Brock-Utne, who lectured on religious studies after Schencke's departure in 1939.

However, he is generally not remembered as the last king instead his predecessor Riro Kāinga is generally regarded as the last king, although neither held much power.
Hereveri was born, of Rapa Nui descent, in 1873, at Haapape, in the French Protectorate of the Kingdom of Tahiti, now near present-day Point Venus, Mahina, French Polynesia.
His father was Here Veri, baptized Agustín (Akutino), also known as Akutino Hereveri (1851–1894), and his mother was Vai a Tare, baptized Margarita, also known as Maria Te Vai a Tare (1840–?).
On 6 June 1871, half of the Rapa Nui population, around 277 islanders, followed the Father Hippolyte Roussel and Brother Théodule Escolan, French Catholic missionaries of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary to Tahiti and Mangareva after disputes between the missionaries and rancher Jean-Baptiste Dutrou-Bornier.
His parents would have been one of the 108 Rapa Nui who followed Brother Escolan and were employed in British businessman John Brander's plantation on Tahiti, or the 67 islanders sent by Dutrou-Bornier to join the workers on October 1871.
Back on Easter Island, the penultimate King Atamu Tekena ceded the island to Chile (represented by Captain Policarpo Toro) on 9 September 1888.
The Chilean government abandoned the settlement in 1892 due to political troubles on the mainland, which was embroiled in civil war, and this prompted the Rapa Nui to reassert their independence.
The Miru clan representative, Siméon Riro Kāinga, was elected the position of ‘Ariki or King of Rapa Nui left vacant by the death of Atamu Tekena in August 1892.
They restricted the islanders' access to most of their land except a walled-off settlement at Hanga Roa, which they were not allowed to leave without permission.
Hereveri was elected with the permission of Sánchez's successor Horacio Cooper White, who was considered much more a despotic administrator than his predecessor.
Cooper wanted to the discredit a rebellion led by Chilean shepherd Manuel A. Vega who had married Véronique Mahute, Riro's widow.
The conflict was spurred when the Chilean guards began kidnapping married Rapa Nui women and keeping them at the company's headquarters in Mataveri while their husbands worked in the field.
Hereveri married Uka o Tu’a a Vaka (born in 1872), baptized Balbina (Parapina), also known as Parapina Avaka, who was the daughter of Tomenika a Vakatukuonge, another indigenous Catholic catechist who lived at the islands leprosery and was allegedly one of the last Rapa Nui to understand the rongorongo script.
According to the published sources of Bienvenido de Estella and J. I. Vives Solar, Hereveri was exiled by the Chilean authority from the island after his unsuccessful revolt in 1902 for a decade.
It was alleged that that he served a career as a midshipman in the Chilean Navy and journeyed around the world in 1908.
Rapa Nui historian Cristián Moreno Pakarati places doubt on the account of Hereveri's deportation because there is no document to indicate it.
He also called the account of his naval career erroneous and possibly convoluted by the experience of his son Mateo Hereveri Vaka as a cabin boy on a Chilean naval ship.
Chin Kaw, also known as Ah Kaw or Ah Caw, (17 July 186511 April 1922) was a prominent Chinese Australian storekeeper, philanthropist, and mining entrepreneur in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia, who recruited workers from China for the Tasmanian tin-mining industry and thereby helped Chinese immigrants settle in Australia.
Around 1879 he arrived at the Chinese tin-mining community of Thomas's Plains, near Weldborough in north-eastern Tasmania, where his uncle Chin Ah Heang owned a general grocery and herb store.
As well as being a founder (and eventually sole proprietor) of Sun Hung Ack & Co. in Launceston, which served as a meeting point for the local Chinese community, Ah Kaw was a participant in many mining ventures in Tasmania as an investor, and was a founding shareholder of the National Bank of Tasmania.
Along with future Senator Thomas Bakhap and several other prominent Launceston Chinese merchants, Chin Kaw was in the welcome committee which welcomed the Imperial Chinese Commissioner to Launceston in 1906.
While many of these cases were due to him launching civil actions to recover bad debts, he was himself prosecuted several times.
Despite the policeman's seizure of the liquor being thwarted by a group of angry Chinese, Chin Kaw was convicted and fined £20 in lieu of three months imprisonment.
Another attempt to prosecute him in 1889 for selling sly grog came to naught when Ah Gouie, the Crown's main witness, proved so unconvincing that he was arrested for perjury at the end of the trial.
In 1894, Chin Kaw, along with his employee Chin Kit, was prosecuted for passing counterfeit shilling coins, and possessing the same in the till of his Launceston store, but both were acquitted as there was no proof Chin Kaw or Chin Kit knowingly sought to pass counterfeit coins.
In 1902, Chin Kaw's store was raided by police, who found a group of 25 Chinese sitting at tables with dominoes and money on them, and observed Chin Kaw attempting to sweep the money onto the ground.
Despite one of his co-accused suggesting to the court that their activities were more desirable than English larrikinism, Chin Kaw was subsequently convicted and fined £10 for allowing his premises to be used for unlawful gambling.
In 1907, the police raided Chin Kaw's store again and arrested 16 Chinese including Chin Kaw, again charging him with allowing his premises to be used for unlawful gambling.
The defence argued that the nature of the gathering was no different to the private bridge parties held by white residents of Launceston.
The prosecution case relied on three Chinese witnesses, who by the time of the trial were, respectively, dead, missing, or confined to a mental asylum, and so the case was withdrawn.
Chin Kaw subsequently sued fellow Launceston tobacco merchant Charles Ah Ying for the sum of £300 for malicious prosecution connected with the case, although the case was withdrawn by mutual consent.
Ah Kaw's son Alexander took over the family store in Launceston and took an interest in commerce between Australia and China, founded the Chinese Club in Sydney, and served as Commercial and Political Advisor to the Chinese Consul-General in Australia in the 1930s.
Ah Kaw's son Victor founded his own retail business in Devonport, and distinguished himself as a badminton player, as well as by serving as Chinese Consul in Tasmania.
The contents of the long-closed Kaw family shop in Launceston were eventually donated by Ah Kaw's descendants to the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Launceston.
William Maxwell Jack (March 5, 1892 – April 14, 1970) was an American politician who served as auditor and secretary of state of Wyoming as a Democrat.
In 1894 his family moved back to Scotland and he was raised in Edinburgh where he had to drop out of school at age 12 to help run his family's store.
In October 1910 he returned to the United States, his family would remain in Britain with his brother losing his arm during The Blitz, and became a rancher in Lusk, Wyoming and later married Huldah Teresa on June 1, 1920.
During World War I he was drafted, but was discharged after training and after returning to Wyoming became active in the oil industry.
In 1924 he successful ran for one of Niobrara County's two seats in the state house and was reelected in 1926.
In 1928 he moved to Casper after being transferred by an oil company and was elected to the state house again in 1930 and reelected in 1932.
On March 30, 1934 he announced that he would run for the Democratic nomination for state auditor and defeated incumbent Auditor Roscoe Alcorn in the general election in the Democratic landslide of the year when they took control of all five statewide offices and the state legislature.
In early 1934 Governor Leslie A. Miller had to temporarily leave Wyoming resulting in Secretary of State Lester C. Hunt becoming acting governor and further responsibility out of state lead to Senate President Nels H. Smith becoming acting governor and on March 5, 1934 Jack became acting governor for a few hours.
When the gas chamber in the Wyoming State Penitentiary was under construction Jack stated that he was against it and supported efforts to prevent its completetion along with members of the state legislature, but it was eventually completed.
On April 2, 1938 he announced that he would seek reelection and after facing no opposition in the primary defeated C. J. Rogers in the general election.
In the 1938 elections the Democrats lost three statewide elections and control of the state legislature, but Jack was the best performing statewide candidate.
In 1940 he served as the chairman of the Natrona county delegation to the Wyoming Democratic party's state convention and was later named as temporary chairman.
On May 12, 1942 he announced that he would seek reelection to a third term and easily won the primary against Carl A. Johnson and later won in the general election against Everett T. Copenhaver.
In 1944 Secretary of State Mart T. Christensen died and after Governor Lester C. Hunt rejected Deputy Secretary of State Everett T. Copenhaver for the position he chose to appoint Jack.
On January 10,1946 he announced that he would not seek a term in his own right or seek any other political office.
After leaving office he returned to the oil industry and became a public relations officer for the Rocky Mountain and Gas Association throughout the 1950s and was appointed as executive vice president in 1950 which he served as until April 1, 1954.
On March 3, 1954 he announced that he would seek the Democratic nomination for governor and won the primary, but was defeated in the general election by Milward Simpson.
In March 1962 Jack announced that he would mount a primary challenge against Governor Jack R. Gage, but Gage narrowly defeated him by 4,176 votes and went on to be defeated in the general election by Teton county commissioner Clifford Hansen.
In 1964 Senator Gale W. McGee appointed him as regional director of the Small Business Administration in Casper and served until November 1969.
Abraham Horace Albertson (April 14, 1872 – April 18, 1964) was an American architect who was one of Seattle, Washington's most prominent architects of the first half of the 20th century.
Early in his career, he moved to Seattle in the employ of a well-known New York architectural firm with that was developing a large area in downtown.
Albertson was born April 14, 1872 in Hope Township, New Jersey, to New Jersey natives Edward H. Albertson, a grocer, and Victoria [nee Newman] Albertson.
In 1880, he was living in Hackettstown and subsequently lived in New York City for more than a decade, including time attending Columbia University, were he graduated, with scholarship assistance, from the Columbia School of Architecture with a Ph.B in 1895.
He served in Cuba during the Spanish-American War as a corporal in the U.S. Army and New York State National Guard.
Albertson moved to Duluth, Minnesota, in 1905, and then to Seattle in 1907 as the local representative of the New York City architectural firm Howells and Stokes.
Albertson remained in Seattle after Howells and Stokes dissolved in 1917, and was the principal in several firms—Howells and Albertson (1920–28) (which succeeded the local office of Howells and Stokes after that firm closed); Albertson and Associates (1920–1933); and Albertson, Wilson, and Richardson (1935–1937) which reflected his associates becoming full partners.
His final position was with the federal government, as chief architect of the Washington State office of the Federal Housing Authority from 1939 until his retirement in 1949.
Alberston was the local representative of Howells and Stokes planning the redevelopment of the original downtown Seattle site of the University of Washington.
After the demise of Howells and Stokes, Albertson (with Wilson and Richardson) continued on to complete most of the remaining buildings in the Metropolitan Tract.
Albertson designed a significant modification to the waterfront for a new Seattle Railroad and Marine Terminal, but the project was abandoned due to the more pressing needs of World War I.
Some of his best known designs include the Northern Life Tower built in (1927–29), the downtown YMCA (1929–31), St. Joseph’s Church and Cornish School (1920-21), the Mrs. Grant Smith residence at 619 W. Comstock Street (a designated Seattle landmark, now the Stuart/Balcom House), St. Anne’s Convent (1930), and an addition to the former Children’s Orthopedic Hospital.
He was a chairman Seattle's building code committee, wrote the Seattle Tenement House Law, and was a director of the Seattle Social Welfare League, chairman of the Bi-state Federal Historical Monuments Survey, vice-chairman of the Washington State Emergency Public Works Board among other public positions.
Seattle's University Street station, built in 1990, contains a staircase with quotations inscribed on the risers from Albertson describing the Cobb Building, served by the station and located just across University Street.

The City Hotel (1794–1849) stood at 113–119 Broadway, occupying the whole block bounded by Cedar, Temple, and Thames Streets, in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City.
Designed by John McComb Jr., it offered not only luxurious accommodations, but also such amenities as shops, a barroom, and a coffeehouse, as well as public dining and dancing.
An 1828 expanded edition states:City Hotel, [operated] by Chester Jennings, is the chief place of resort, and … the loftiest edifice of that kind in the city, containing more than one hundred large and small parlours and lodging-rooms, besides the City Assembly Room, chiefly used for Concerts and Balls.
In 1849–50 she replaced it with a block of stores called the Boreel Building, and in 1878–79 replaced that with an office building, also called the Boreel Building.

Mechanics' Institutes were a particularly Victorian Institution which spread to the corners of the English speaking world, including Australian colonies where they were set up in virtually every colony.
In Australia, the first Mechanics' Institute was established in Hobart in 1827, followed by the Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts in 1833, Newcastle School of Arts in 1835, then the Melbourne Mechanics' Institute established in 1839 (renamed the Melbourne Athenaeum in 1873).
Over 1200 Mechanics' Institutes were built in Victoria but just over 500 remain today, and only six still operate their lending library services.
Only a few mechanics' institutes still operate as libraries: list derived from the Mechanics' Institute of Victoria, Inc.'s Library Directory 2018.

However, he is generally not remembered as the last king instead his predecessor Riro Kāinga is generally regarded as the last king, although neither held much power.
Ika married on 9 March 1879 with Renga Hopuhopu to Tetono (c. 1857–1942), baptized Anastasia, a woman from the Tupahotu clan.
Their daughter was named María ‘Aifiti Engepito Ika Tetono, and she married Juan Tepano Rano, a Tupahotu clansman who accompanied King Siméon Riro Kāinga to Chile in 1898 and later became a cultural informant on Rapa Nui culture.
The penultimate King Atamu Tekena of Easter Island ceded the island to Chile (represented by Captain Policarpo Toro) on 9 September 1888.
The Chilean government abandoned the settlement in 1892 due to political troubles on the mainland, which was embroiled in civil war, and this prompted the Rapa Nui to reassert their independence.
However, Kāinga's cousin Maria Angata Veri Tahi 'a Pengo Hare Kohou, a Catholic catechist and prophet, organized many of the island's women in his support.
They restricted the islanders' access to most of their land except a walled-off settlement at Hanga Roa, which they were not allowed to leave without permission.
The captain intended to deport any disruptors, but Sánchez felt confident enough to tell the captain that it was not necessary to deport anyone.
The Rapa Nui complained about the mistreatment and low salaries with Captain Wilson through an interpreter (one of the Rapa Nui returning from the continent) although to no satisfactory results.

She has been a board member for the San Francisco Opera for many years, and she and her husband have sponsored San Francisco Opera performances since 1995.
It was built in 1861–62 (on the site of an earlier chapel of 1822) and has been a Grade II listed building since 1974.
An Independent congregation was formed in Weymouth in 1817 when a dwelling at Hope Street was rented and transformed into a place of worship capable of accommodating 100 people.
The building was later enlarged in 1833 for a cost of £154 and an organ built by Mr. White was installed soon after.
Fundraising began in 1860 and plans were made to demolish the original chapel and build a new one on the same site.
The grandfather of Mr. Williams had built the original chapel and his father had also been involved in alterations and improvements to it over the following years.
As construction neared completion, the chapel was first used for worship on 1 January 1862, although the public dedication was not held until 5 March when Rev.
This was cleared by the end of 1862, following an offer of £50 from Mr. W. Sommerville of Bristol if the remaining debt was cleared by the end of the year.
The Johnstone Estate gifted the freehold of the chapel site in 1871 and the deeds were drawn up by R. N. Howard free of charge.
When the chapel's schoolroom became too small to serve the local children, land behind the chapel was acquired for a new £1,000 schoolroom.
The memorial stone was laid by the mayor of the borough, R. N. Howard, on 11 November 1885 and the school opened on 21 April 1886.
Brigadier Robert Amos Row, (30 July 1888 –7 January 1959) was a senior officer in the New Zealand Military Forces and a two-time recipient of the Distinguished Service Order.
On the outbreak of the First World War, Row volunteered for service in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (NZEF) and was appointed commander of the 1st Canterbury Company of the Canterbury Infantry Battalion.
Evacuated to Malta for treatment, he did not return to the frontlines until early 1917, by which time the New Zealanders were serving on the Western Front.
Promoted to lieutenant colonel, he commanded the 3rd Battalion of the Canterbury Regiment during the Battle of Messines and was later awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) in recognition of his services in Flanders, the citation noting his leadership during fighting around Ploegsteert Wood.
Early the following year, the 3rd Battalion was converted to a pioneer unit and he was temporarily placed in command of the 1st Battalion of the Canterbury Regiment.
During the Spring Offensive of 1918, Row was attached to brigade headquarters in a liaison role, resuming his battalion command towards the end of the year during the battles of the Hundred Days Offensive.
Rather than entering the work force on his discharge, Row decided to take on professional soldiering and joined the New Zealand Staff Corps, a branch of the New Zealand Military Forces which assisted in the administration of the New Zealand Territorial Force.
For the next several years, he held a series of staff positions, beginning with an attachment to the General Headquarters School at Trentham Military Camp.
As a professional soldier with staff experience, in the Second World War Row was posted to the headquarters of the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force (2NZEF) and served in the Middle East from January 1941.
He returned to Army Headquarters in New Zealand in June 1941 as tensions with the Japanese Empire escalated in the Pacific region.
At the time, 8th Brigade was stationed in Fiji having been sent there in late 1940 to guard against a possible attack in the event Japan entered the war and attacked the island nation.
Shortly after taking command, Row implemented a test of his unit by holding an exercise under the guise of a Japanese invasion.
The brigade remained in Fiji in a defensive role until August 1942, when they returned to New Zealand and undertook home defence duties as part of the newly formed 3rd Division, under the command of Major General Harold Barrowclough.
In August 1943, the 3rd New Zealand Division was assigned a role in the ongoing Solomon Islands campaign, which was being directed by Vice Admiral William Halsey, the overall commander of Allied forces in the South Pacific area.
The Treasuries, which consisted of two main islands, Mono and Stirling, were to the south of the larger island of Bougainville and were seen by the Allies as a stepping-stone towards landing forces there.
The operation would be the first amphibious landing mounted under fire by New Zealand forces since the Gallipoli landing in 1915.
For the battle, Row's brigade was detached from the 3rd Division and placed under the operational command of the US 1st Marine Amphibious Corps.
In addition to the three battalions of his brigade, Row had under his command US combat support and service support units including a naval construction battalion (the 87th), a signals unit, a naval base unit, and a coastal artillery battalion (the 198th) to provide anti-aircraft fire support.
Having US personnel under foreign command was unusual for the Second World War and was a reflection of Halsey's confidence in Row's leadership.
The troops landing in the south of Mono experienced defensive fire but by midday had destroyed the artillery present there and were penetrating inland.
Those landing at Stirling were unopposed and Row subsequently established his headquarters there; the Japanese garrison on the island had moved across to Mono.
Over the next few days, the Japanese retreating from the south began attacking the defensive perimeter that had been established around the northern landing site.
A heavy attack was fended off on the night of 1 November and after this, organised resistance by the Japanese faded away and Mono Island was considered secure by 12 November.
Despite the success of the Treasuries landings, Row was returned to New Zealand in December 1943, as part of Barrowclough's organisational strategy of replacing the older commanders within the 3rd Division with younger officers.
Row's removal as commander of 8th Brigade came as a surprise to Halsey, who had established a good working relationship with him.
No longer required for active service in the New Zealand Military Forces, Row was placed on the retired list in 1944.
The first section is a section of dual carriageway linking Scarborough Beach Road to Pearson Street/Jon Sanders Drive in Osborne Park.
The second, longer section is a two-lane road in Mount Claremont used to link central Perth to the West Coast Highway via Hay Street, Underwood Avenue and Rochdale Road.
The two sections of road are to date the only evidence of the originally proposed Stephenson Highway, a controversial highway that was proposed to connect Swanbourne to Innaloo.
The two roads are named after Gordon Stephenson, an influential person in the development and expansion of Perth through the Metropolitan Region Scheme during the 20th Century.
Eucalyptus strzeleckii, commonly known as Strzelecki gum or wax-tip, is a species of small to medium-sized tree that is endemic to a small area of Victoria, Australia.
It has smooth bark, sometimes with a few slabs of fibrous bark near the base, lance-shaped to egg-shaped or curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and conical fruit.
It has smooth, mottled cream-coloured, and pale brown bark, sometimes with a few slabs of rough, fibrous bark near the base.
Adult leaves are the same shade of glossy green on both sides, lance-shaped to egg-shaped or curved, long and wide, tapering to a petiole long.
The main threats to the species include grazing and trampling, weed invasion and habitat loss due to road works, firewood collection and agricultural activities.
Efim Naumovich Gorodetsky (or Gorodetskii; ; 29 January 1907 – 20 June 1993) was a Soviet historian and a leading authority on the historiography of the October Revolution and the formation of the Soviet state.
He was awarded the State Prize of the USSR in 1943 for his part in a history of the Russian Civil War and produced and edited a number of collections of primary sources relating to Russian and Soviet history.
He married Polina Veniaminovna Gurovich, also an historian, and they had sons, the physicist Evgenii Gorodetskii (1941-2015) and his brother Alexander, and a daughter Inna.
Gorodetsky worked as a historian for the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and at the Moscow Institute of Philosophy, Literature and History (MIFLI/МИФЛИ) in 1932 and 1933 after the Humanities faculty of MSU was abolished.
MIFLI, which aimed to produce teachers with an explicitly Marxist-Leninist approach, was subsequently merged back into MSU when the Humanities were reintroduced to the university.
In 1940 he was appointed associate professor of the Department of History of the USSR of the Soviet Period, in the Faculty of History of Moscow State University and in 1943 he was awarded the State Prize of the USSR for his contributions to Volume 2 (1942) of the history of the Russian Civil War.
During the Second World War, he and his family were evacuated to Krasnoufimsk in the Ural region to escape the approaching Germans, returning in 1944.
In 1960 Gorodetsky won the N. V. Lomonosov Prize of Moscow State University for his part in producing the history of the revolutionary and state activities of V. I. Lenin.
Reviewer Rudolf Schlesinger felt that, notwithstanding the central and approving place that the author gave to Lenin, in the book Gorodetsky had taken an undogmatic and fresh approach different from his contemporaries in either the West or the Soviet Union.

James Clark (1 May 1825 – 5 June 1890), was an English market gardener and horticulturist in Christchurch, Dorset who specialised in raising new varieties of potato.
Clark had only a poor education and at the age of nine was sent to work on a farm in the neighbouring hamlet of Iford.
When he was aged twelve his family moved closer to Christchurch and his father became an under-gardener at nearby Sandhills, the seaside estate of Sir George Henry Rose, the Member of Parliament for Christchurch.
It was during this period that a fungus unwittingly transported to Europe from America devastated the potato crop in Ireland, causing the Irish Potato Famine of 1845-1850.
In the wake of this tragedy potato breeders sought to find a reliable alternative to the disgraced Lumpers and Cups that had been the mainstay of the Irish planting.
It was there that he first developed an interest in growing potatoes and became fascinated by the varieties produced by a single root.
However, the onset of a life-long heart complaint compelled him to quit this job and take on less arduous gardening work.
In 1869 Clark moved his family to Cranemoor, a hamlet a few miles east of Christchurch, where his wife became the caretaker at the small Congregational chapel.
After lifting the first crop he discovered a few seed balls and from these, he raised forty-two roots of the seedling.
The male pollen-parent was uncertain, but Clark suspected that it was Paterson’s Victoria because a quantity of that variety had been growing in nearby allotments.
In the following two seasons Clark saw that one of his new seedlings had survived when other local potato plants had been devastated by blight.
He realised that this new variety held great promise, so he nurtured them and in the spring of 1874 he sent some of his seedlings to the noted horticulturist Shirley Hibberd for him to test at his trial-ground in Hornsey.
Hibberd’s tests confirmed the robust good qualities of the new variety and he recommended it to seed merchants Messrs Sutton & Son of Reading, who purchased Clark’s entire stock and released it to the public as Sutton’s Magnum Bonum in 1876.
Hibberd promoted the Magnum Bonum by stating 'I believe that it will prove the most generally useful variety ever put into commerce'.
It was a white, kidney-shaped late maincrop with a floury texture and a blandly sweet flavour that grew vigorously, withstood disease, and gave good yields.
There is a very considerable consensus of opinion that in a great number of soils Messrs. Sutton's 'Magnum Bonum' has survived in bad years, and yielded abundantly in good.
It is a recent introduction, and the breeder who first raised it in 1871, Mr. Clark, of Christchurch, was present yesterday at the show.
These included Maincrop/Langworthy (1876), Reading Hero (1881), Sutton’s Seedling (1886), Abundance (1886), Best of All (1887), Satisfaction (1887), Masterpiece (1887), White Kidney (1888), Early Market (1888), Matchless (1889), Nonesuch (1889), Perfection (1892), Triumph (1892), Supreme (1893), Epicure (1897), No Plus Ultra (1897), Reliance (1897), Ninetyfold (1897), Ideal (1898), Inevitable (1898), Centenary (1900), and Favourite (1902).
Of these, Ninetyfold was a successful variety that was grown commercially until the 1960s and Epicure proved an outstanding variety that is still grown today.
It became the traditional Ayrshire early potato and although there has been a recent tendency to replace it, it remains a popular garden variety in Scotland.

Aung Shwe Prue Chowdhury (1 August 1914 – 8 August 2012) was a Bangladeshi from Bandarban belonging to Bangladesh Nationalist Party.
The brother of Jacques Saurin, he was appointed Dean of Ardagh and Precentor of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin on 22 March 1727. holding both posts until his death in 1749.
His son was Archdeacon of Dromore; his grandson, Bishop of Dromore; his great nephew, Attorney General for Ireland; and his great nephew, an Austalian impresario.
She was also elected as a member of the Jatiya Sangsad from Reserved Women's Seat-30 in the Sixth General Election of Bangladesh.
Kent was involved in politics as a student at Carleton University, where he was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada Student Federation.
He ran on a platform on providing services to the Eastway Gardens neighbourhood and turning the CN railway into a rapid transit route.
During the campaign, Kent cited traffic problems, a buffer around Sheffield Glen, improved day care services and making the NCC green space into an all-age recreation area, and for the NCC to clean up a swampy area behind Eastway Gardens.
In his first term on council (which also gave him a seat on the Ottawa-Carleton Regional Council), Kent supported the re-election of Andrew S. Haydon for regional chair.
On February 26, 1982, Kent announced that he would be challenging Dewar for mayor of the city in the 1982 mayoral election.
The main issue of the campaign would be over Dewar's support of an $8.4 million arts centre at the Ottawa Teacher's College, which Kent opposed.
Kent also got involved in federal politics, and was elected as a Joe Clark delegate for the riding of Ottawa—Vanier for the 1983 Progressive Conservative leadership election.
He also ran for the nomination for the Tories in Ottawa—Carleton to run in the 1984 Canadian federal election , but lost to Barry Turner on June 26, 1984, 630 votes to 441 on a second ballot.
In 1985, he entered the race to run for alderman for the ward, which was an open seat, as incumbent Greg MacDougall was retiring.
On election day, Kent defeated Dylan McGuinty (brother of future Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty) in a close race, winning with 37% of the vote to McGuinty's 34%.
Overall, the 1985 election saw a comparatively right-ward shift for the city council, with the election of Jim Durrell as mayor, a past supporter of Kent's.
While there was some speculation that Kent would run against Durrell for mayor in the 1988 mayoral election, he opted against it, choosing to run for re-election as alderman.
While serving on council, Kent ran in the 1990 Ontario general election in Ottawa South for the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario.
While it was seen as a winnable riding for the Tories, it was suggested that many would-be Tories voted Liberal to stop the NDP.
Instead of running for mayor, Kent opted to run for Regional Chair in the 1991 Regional elections, the first time there would be a direct election for chair.
On election day, Kent would finish in third in a close three-way race, with 28% of the vote, losing to Peter D. Clark.
St Martin's was built as a chapel of ease to Holy Trinity as a result of the growing population in the parish, particularly around Chickerell Road.
An earlier, temporary mission room of St Martin had been established facing the nearby recreation ground, but was soon inadequate to serve the parish.
The plans for the church were drawn up by Charles Edwin Ponting of Marlborough and Messrs Jesty and Baker of Portland were hired as the builders, with Mr. D. Grant acting as clerk of the works.
Owing to the limited funds available, only the nave, porch and part of the crypt was built as part of the original construction work.
It was intended to add a chancel and side aisles at a later date, but this did not come to fruition.
The construction of the main body of the church provided accommodation for 198 persons, while the complete scheme for St Martin's intended to accommodate 523.
St Martin's closed in 1949, although the building saw continued use by the Weymouth and District Deaf and Dumb Club and the executive committee of Toc H Weymouth.
The roof, which was tiled with dark red sand-faced tiles, had a bell turret added, which was surmounted by a wrought-iron cross.
Part of the intended crypt was completed in the work of 1907–08, which was to form a larger parish room but was instead used as a vestry.
The church's pulpit was moved from Holy Trinity to the new church, while many of the fittings of the temporary St Martin's were also transferred there.

The government of Bangladesh has announced the commemoration of 2020-2021 as the Mujib Year () on the occasion of the centennial birth anniversary of the founding leader of the country, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman .
The UN General Assembly, UNESCO, has decided to jointly celebrate the Mujib Year with Bangladesh at the UNESCO 40th General Assembly.
The decision was made in the presence of all UNESCO members on November 12–27 in Paris this year, held on November 25.
In addition to promoting the role of Bangabandhu at the grassroots level in Bangladesh's independence struggle, the return anniversary of Bangabandhu, the founding anniversary of the Awami League , National Mourning Day and Jail Killing Day will be celebrated every year as well.
Suluca also known as Komer is a village of Muş in the central district of Muş Province , Eastern Anatolia Turkey.
Known as Komer to the Armenians, Church records state that in 1890,there were 70 Armenian households in the town, and a second survey indicated there were 38 Kurdish households.
By 1902 records show only 58 Armenian households and then in In 1910, church records recorded 60 Armenian households and a similar record in 1914.
The carriage eventually received connections to the electricity, gas and water mains and, being unable to move, had kerbs erected around it when the road was resurfaced.
Using money from his First World War soldier's disability pension he commissioned a carriage from a coachbuilder on Hackney Road, Shoreditch.
The completed vehicle, in mahogany with etched-glass windows and brass fittings, was set up as a coffee stall on Calvert Avenue, near to the corner with Shoreditch High Street.
The stall is said to have been the first of its kind to receive mains electricity when Syd tapped into a nearby lamp post in 1922.
The lamp post has since been replaced but the mains feed to the stall remained, under licence from the local council.
During the Second World War Syd's coffee stall received a special licence to remain open during the hours of the blackout to provide refreshment to Air Raid Precaution wardens and emergency service personnel.
During The Blitz a bomb fell on Calvert Avenue; the stall was protected from the blast by two London buses which had parked nearby but Syd Tothill's wife, May, was wounded by shrapnel.
Owing to May's injuries Syd had a nervous breakdown and the running of the stall fell to their young daughter, Peggy.
The Mayor of Shoreditch wrote to the War Office to appeal for the release of Syd's son, Syd Junior, to take over the stall.
After the war, Syd Junior continued to operate the stall which he expanded into an external catering business named Hillary Caterers after Sir Edmund Hillary who scaled Mount Everest in 1953.
Syd Junior became the youngest ever president of the Hotel and Caterer's Federation and a freeman of the City of London.
Owing to the stall's utility connections it could not be moved and so the council erected kerbs around it and surfaced up to these.
Syd Tothill's granddaughter Jane Tothill was the third and final member of the family to run the stall, doing so for the last 30 years of its operation.
During its final years the stall was open five days a week between 5:30 am and 5:00 pm and its most popular snacks were ham or bacon sandwiches.
The coffee stall was established in a working-class part of the city but struggled with the gentrification of the area which brought new coffee bars.
After the stall celebrated its 100th anniversary Jane Tothill announced that falling trade had forced its closure and it closed for the final time on 20 December 2019.
Hackney London Borough Council will assist with the relocation of the stall which will have conservation work carried out on it before going on display at the Museum of London's new premises in the former Smithfield Market from 2024.
Chakma was elected as a member of the Jatiya Sangsad from Chittagong Hill Tracts-1 in 1979 as a Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal-JSD candidate.
The Diglake Colliery Disaster (also known as the Audley Colliery Disaster), was a coal-mining disaster at what was Audley Colliery in Bignall End, North Staffordshire, on 14 January 1895.
Various mining workings took place from 1733 onwards to 1854 when the mine was abandoned as it was not connected to a canal or railway, which made it uneconomical for the outward transportation of coal.
Audley Colliery was located just to the east of what was railway station on the North Staffordshire Railway line between and .
Because the railway had opened up in 1870, the outward movement of coal was now more profitable than those of the earlier ventures.
Accurate records were not maintained of the previous workings (known as Old Roookery Pit), and so the actual amount of earth separating the two mines was unknown.
Although the intent had been to make sure that the two workings were separated by , some records later indicated that the tow plans were scaled at different measurements and so the actual difference between to the two workings was extremely thin.
Between 11:30 and 11:40 am on 14 January 1895, whilst there was 240–260 miners underground, a huge wall of water forced its way into the mine.
It is believed that fireman William Sproston had fired a shot into the new 10-Foot seam in Shaft No.1, which weakened the barrier between the new workings and the old tunnels which were flooded with water.
One of the fireman's sons, who was on an errand for his father, was carried away on one of the resultant waves to the bottom of the No.
1 Shaft, where he and other miners managed to escape through a shaft that cut into the disused Boyles Hall Colliery.
Pumps installed in the mine were working to evacuate the water from the mine and were shifting a minute, but the water level had only fallen by on the following day.
On hearing the inrush of water and feeling the rising levels, William Dodd, the under-manager who had an office at the bottom of No.
2 shaft, ran to warn other miners of the danger and they also played a part in the rescue of 35-40 miners.
A roll-call was held on the next day (15 January 1895) which determined that some ninety-odd men were possibly still in the mine.
A rescue party went as far as they safely could into the mine, and they reported back that no tapping or other signs of life were evident, although, neither had any bodies been discovered.
Eleven days after the disaster, the water was said to have dropped by in the old Rookery workings where the initial water was flowing in from.
The water in the shafts of Diglake was filling up, which meant that the depth of all the old workings was not as much as had been hoped and draining away the floodwater.
Six months later, the resultant inquiry decided that no blame was to be apportioned to the mine owners, but made mention of the fact that no accurate records existed of previous mineworkings and it called for better planning for mines.
It is believed that the accurate number is 77, and the number 78 arose after someone's name was applied to memorial twice by accident.
Renowned international concert pianist, Ignacy Jan Paderewski, donated the proceeds from his concert in Hanley in 1895, to the Diglake Colliery Disaster Fund.
In 1932 and 1933, coaling operations being carried out at an adjacent mine discovered one body in 1932 and two further bodies in 1933.
In 1979, a law was passed, The Mines (Precautions Against Inrushes) Regulations 1979, which dictated that any new coal or mine workings should have a distance of at least between shafts to prevent collapse or flooding.
This prompted fears that the workings would uncover the miners' bodies, which the company stated was not true as they would not be digging to the depth of where the remains would be.
In January 2020, on the 125th anniversary of the disaster, a sculpture of two kneeling miners were unveiled in the cemetery of Audley Methodist Church.
Qian Qi (710–782) was a mid-Tang dynasty Chinese court poet known by contemporaries for elegant verses which are rich in meaning and loose in syntax.

He was recognized by Professor Eugene W. Hilgard at the State University at Berkeley and he was later employed at the University of California as gardener in Charge of Agricultural Grounds and was for some time, around 1886 to 1888, Inspector of Fruit Pests in the California State Board of Horticulture.
Parts of the church date to the 13th century and it survived the raids of the border reivers which burnt down many structures in the village.
The Church of St Cuthbert is located at the western end of Bellingham High Street, behind the Black Bull Hotel and somewhat out of sight of passing traffic.
Parts of the church date to the 13th century and it survived the border reiver period, unlike many of the other mediaeval buildings in the village which were burnt down in raids.
During building works in 1861 three cannonballs were recovered from within the roof, probably dating from 1597 when Bellingham was attacked by Walter Scott, 5th of Buccleuch.
St Cuthbert's Well is located adjacent to the church and is said to have been discovered by the 7th-century Saint Cuthbert.
A shallow arch doorway, with 17th-century door, is set into the third bay on the north side with a 19th-century copper lamp above the entrance.
The western end of the nave had two large stone buttresses added in the 19th-century and a lancet window installed between them.
This roof has been described as being particularly remarkable for being made of alternating strips of single and double thickness slabs of Lakeland slate.
The chancel is 13th century and has an original window on the south wall, with three later lancet windows on the easter end.
The north wall holds monuments to Archibald Reed (1729) and Theresa and Harriet Charlton (1829), with a monument to Charlton of Redesmouth (1628) standing outside the south wall.
The chapel contains a 13th-century window and a 17th-century square window and has a barrel vault roof formed of stone slabs.
The graveyard contains a remarkable tomb monument known as the Lang Pack, located a few steps away from the church entrance.
It is said that the hall's owner, Colonel Ridley, closed up the hall for the winter of 1723 and relocated to London for the season, leaving the hall under the watch of a skeleton staff of three servants with strict instructions to admit nobody.
Late in the night the pack was observed to move and was shot by one of the servants with a pistol.
As he had a whistle around his neck the servants deduced that he was planning to burgle the hall and would have blown the whistle to alert his gang once the door was open.
The Hawking Index (HI) is a mock mathematical measure on how far people will, on average, read through a book before giving up.
A wide spread of highlights throughout the book mean that most readers will have read the entire book, scoring high on the Index.
If the spread of highlights occurs only at the beginning of the book, then it means that fewer people will have read the book completely and will thus score low on the Index.

Church of Atheism of Central Canada v Canada (National Revenue) 2019 FCA 296 (CanLII) is a 2019 Federal Court of Appeal case in Canada.
It was brought by the Church of Atheism of Central Canada against the Canada Revenue Agency after the Minister of National Revenue rejected their application for religious charitable status.
The Minister of National Revenue rejected their application on the grounds that they did not meet the statutory definition of a charity under the act.
The Church of Atheism appealed the decision on the grounds of religious discrimination and alleged violations of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Constitution Act, 1982.
The case was heard to decide if there was a violation of the rights and freedoms of the Church and if the Minister's decision was reasonable.
The court ruled that as the Church was a non-profit, they were not individuals so were not entitled to equality protection.
They further found that the rights of atheists were protected and that the Minister declining to grant the Church charitable status did not interfere with their practices.
However, the court found that atheism was not a religion as it failed to meet the common law criteria to be religion and stated worshipping energy did not count as belief in a Supreme Being or Deity.
However the court did not rule on if a religion needed to have an authoritative text such as The Bible in Christianity nor that there had to be a belief in God after The Church cited Buddhism as a recognised religion that didn't believe in a higher power.
As a result, the court ruled that the Minister's rejection was justified as the Church of Atheism lacked a charitable purpose and did not carry out charitable activities.

Sikhism in Panama took roots when Panama Canal was started in 1890 by an American company.Panama got separated from Spain in 1821 and joined with Columbia , with which it remained till 1903.Construction of rail-road link between Atlantic and Pacific Oceans was started in 1850.
During 1864, among the population of New Granda, for which Panama City was part there of then, out of 27.47 lac, 1.65 lacs were Indians including large no.
Then when work on Panama Canal was started in 1890, they worked for digging canal as manual labourers, as very few machinery was available by that time.
That was period when steam engine was just started.Punjabi and specially among them Sikh labourers worked under odd conditions meeting challenges of yellow fever etc.
British and American officials preferred Sikh labourers over others because of their hard work and characteristic to withstand harsh conditions of work.
Punjabi early settlers who came to Panama started working in jobs like watchmen or sold daily use articles as petty businessmen, till they were absorbed in Panama Canal construction work by American company.
With completion of canal Many of them had earned enough money by dint of hard work working in elongated hours to set up their own business or became land owners and did farming in fields.

After closure of Panama Canal Project and further formation of independent Republic of Panama, many Sikhs returned back to their homeland in India , others migrated to Canada , England and other Europian countries.
After establishment of Panama Canal and American military bases in Panama, many new immigrants including Sikhs came and got settled there as permanent residents.

Cristóbal Talcapillán, also known as Don Cristóbal, was a young Chono man who became known for his role in ushering the expeditions of Bartolomé Gallardo (1674–1675) and Antonio de Vea (1675–1676) into the archipelagoes of Patagonia.
Jerónimo Díaz de Mendoza led an expedition in 1674 that having failed to find any Europeans in Patagonia went back to Chiloé with Cristóbal Talcapillán and other indigenous Chono they encountered.
In Chacao Cristóbal Talcapillán rapidly learned Veliche which was the main language of Chiloé –including the Spanish settlements– at the time.
Cristóbal Talcapillán was sent back to Chiloé and it was then decided that a major expedition should be sent to the verify the presence of Englishmen or other Europeans.
Don Cristobal retracted indications about where to find iron anchors and said he had been coerced to lie by Bartolomé Gallardo and his father Francisco Gallardo.
It is possible that the fabications of Cristóbal Talcapillán were done to applease the Spanish as he learned about Spanish culture and what kind things were of their interest.
According to the Viceroy of Peru Baltasar de la Cueva Talcapillán was condemned to two hundred lashes in addition to a lifetime sentence of penal labour.

From 1895 to 1896, he was assigned to the Expeditionary Engineer Corps with whom he managed hydrogen balloons and bridging equipment in Madagascar.
In 1907 he moved to the Research Laboratory for Military Ballooning which became the Laboratory for Military Aeronautics, where he chaired the Engineering Study Commission in 1908.
In that year he patented the design of an undercarriage shock absorber, which appears to be present on his powered kite or Dirigible Biplane, possibly named the Laboratoire, of 1909. which completely failed to fly.
Both of these ideas were probably incorporated into his powered kite projects, where a steerable tractor engine and propeller were attached to a fuselage (nacelle) suspended from a large biplane or triplane kite.
On 28 February 1916 the by now Lieutenant-Colonel Dorand was appointed as the first director of the Service Technique de l'Aéronautique (STAé).
During 1916 he designed, in conjunction with Captain Georges Lepère, the AR.1 and subsequently the AR.2, which had reduced wing span and different engines.
In the same year Dorand collaborated with Émil Letord in the design of the Letord Let.1 three-seat twin-engined reconnaissance biplane, which featured Dorand’s negative stagger biplane wings.
This led to a successful series of aircraft, built in the government factories at Chalais-Meudon and in the factories of Farman and Letord, ending with the Let.7.
Over 250 examples were built by the end of the First World War, including 142 used as trainers by the American Expeditionary Force.
Dorand left the STAé on 11 January 1918, and was appointed the Inspector General of Tests and Technical Studies at the French Ministry of War.
Less than a year later he was promoted to Colonel and became the head of the French delegation of the Interallied Commission for Aeronautical Control in Germany.
In this role he was responsible for searching the defeated country for anything of aeronautical interest that could be brought to France.
He was also responsible for inspecting facilities to ensure that the Treaty of Versailles restrictions on German aeronautical activities were being observed.
During these activities he courted controversy by suggesting that Hugo Junkers be brought to France to assist in the development of metal aircraft construction techniques.
The press called into question Dorand's reputation, considering his plans a wasteful expansion of the air fleet for a country that now considered itself to be at peace.

H. L. Vosz was an Adelaide, South Australia business, for a time Australia's largest supplier of paints and glass, the earliest progenitor of Dulux paints, and became the prosperous glass merchants A. E. Clarkson Ltd.
The company was founded in a modest way by a painter, plumber and glazier of more than usual business acumen, who unwittingly became the name behind many of the stained glass windows in South Australian churches.
Heinrich Ludwig Vosz (3 May 1812 – 9 March 1886), was born in Hanover in humble circumstances, and when quite young moved with his parents to Hamburg, where he had to work for a living from age 12.
At 15 he was apprenticed to a carpenter and eventually was able to set up in business on his own account.
He started work as a joiner in Ackland Street (now that part of Frome Street between Grenfell and Wakefield streets) and was naturalized in August 1849.
He returned with enough money to set up in business as painter, glazier and paperhanger, and in 1853 opened a retail store at 82 (renumbered c. 1890 as 88) Rundle Street, selling window glass, paints, and wallpaper.
Vosz maintained an active interest in current events but apart from a few years (1860–1862) as City Councillor, played no active part in public affairs.
He died after several years of intense suffering from neuralgia, which no medical treatment could alleviate, and was buried at the West Terrace Cemetery without ostentation, by Rev.
His business had become the largest of its kind in Australia; his wife and sons had predeceased him and much of his considerable fortune was left to local charities, including £2,000 for the Home for Incurables.
Lodge of Freemasons of South Australia, the Benevolent Fund of the Irish Constitution of Freemasons of South Australia, the Adelaide Children's Hospital, and the Cottage Homes.
Schmidt became insolvent in 1894 as a result of his purchase of a large share of the company and inability to realise on property which had lost value.
In 1904, when the business was registered as a Company, he stepped down as manager to take a position on the board of directors.
Adelaide's churches were the high-profile end of the market, but much of their business would have been in advertising windows and mirrors for hotels, and decorative windows and panels for more affluent home-owners.
By 1900 the business owned the area bounded by Rundle Street, Charles Street and Fisher Place, as well as stables and yards on Gilles Street, and also occupied several warehouse on Maclaren Wharf, Port Adelaide.
Paints and calcimines, were manufactured at Rundle Street, mirrors were silvered and bevelled, stained glass painted (by J. F. Williams and his staff) and fired, leadlight windows built up, and plate glass cut and curved.

Galata is a historic district of Istanbul, Turkey, and until the 15th century, home to one of the most important Genoese communities in the Mediterranean.
Therefore, in the late 19th century, when the Municipality of Genoa built a district of commercial docks, the oldest of these was given the name of the ancient colony.
In the late 1990s, the municipality decided to establish the seat of the future maritime museum of Genoa in the Galata district.
In addition to a natural-scale reproduction of a Genoese galley, the museum houses several interactive rooms which help visitors understand what it meant to go to sea in different eras.
It shows both the lot of exploited immigrants in Genoa in the 19th century and that of Italian emigrants who traveled to the United States, Argentina, and Brazil on overcrowded ships, and founded an Italian diaspora in the New World.
In 2005, the Galata museum merged with the Commenda Museum-Theater and the Naval Museum of Pegli, together forming the Mu.MA - Istituzione Musei del Mare e delle Migrazioni (Institute of Museums of the Sea and Migration) to better combine the topics of the sea and migration.
Other rooms hold portraits of Christopher Columbus and Andrea Doria as well as precious world maps and ancient portolans which can be consulted using virtual navigation.

The Sulfur Crisis of 1840 (also known as the Sulfur War of 1840 or Anglo-Neapolitan Sulfur Crisis) was a conflict between the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the United Kingdom.
The increasing British control and exploitation of the mining, refining, and transportation of the sulfur, coupled with the failure of this lucrative export to transform Sicily's backward and impoverished economy, led to the 'Sulfur Crisis' of 1840, when King Ferdinand II gave a monopoly of the sulfur industry to a French firm, violating an earlier 1816 trade agreement with Britain.
It has a wide range of end applications including in domestic acidic drain cleaners, as an electrolyte in lead-acid batteries, and in dehydrating a compound.
Until the invention of the Frasch process in 1891, the Sicilian method and deposits of sulfur in Sicily made up the vast majority of the world's sulfur production.
In 1816, a treaty between The Two Sicilies and Great Britain was signed that gave British merchants large concessions, such as a 10% bounty of customs on British goods, and gave British merchants a large advantage trading in Southern Italy.
In 1836, then King of the Two Sicilies, Ferdinand II, began negotiating with French merchants an agreement granting French merchants essential control over the sulfur trade.
The agreement immediately crippled sulfur imports to the United Kingdom which fell from 44,653 tons in 1838 to 22,160 tons in 1839.
Ferdinand II resisted Palmerston's efforts, arguing that both agreements were comparable, and recognizing that the new agreement could be highly profitable for his kingdom.
It was further impractical for Ferdinand II to cancel the contract because Taix and Aycard intended to claim £666,000 in compensation, a price that the kingdom would be hard pressed to pay.
In mid-March, the British warned that if their wishes were not met, they would establish a blockade and begin seizing merchant ships of the Sicilies.
In contrast to Metternich's efforts to negotiate, which were rejected, a similar French offer by Adolphe Thiers was accepted by the British on 10 April and the Sicilians on 26 April.

The Da-Qing Jinbi (Traditional Chinese: 大清金幣) was the name of a unissued series of gold coins produced under the reign of the Guangxu Emperor.
These coins were produced in the scenario that the government of the Manchu Qing dynasty would adopt the gold standard, as was common in most of the world at the time.
During this the Qing dynasty era, the Chinese coinage system was based on a bimetallic system of copper and silver and these proposed coins would have also introduced gold coinage to China.
However, only a small number of trial coins were produced in the years 1906 and 1907, despite the production these pattern coins the Da-Qing Jinbi did not ever see any circulation.
The Qing dynasty used a bimetallic currency system based on silver sycees and cast copper-alloy cash coins and during the 19th century modern machine-struck coinage from the Western world inspired the local production of milled coinages by provincial governments.
The first of these being provincial issues of the Guangxu Yuanbao (光緒元寶) which would later inspire the government of the Qing dynasty to standardise its currency nationwide due to the different weights and standards being used across China.
During the later years of the Manchu Qing dynasty, the coinage system was scattered with central government-made coins, local coins and some foreign currencies circulating together in the private sector of China, resulting in a great deal of currency confusion, this has made both fiscal and financial management in China quite difficult.

The reformer Liang Qichao campaigned for the government of the Qing dynasty to emulate the Western world and Japan by embracing the gold standard, unify refractory the currencies of China, and issue government-backed banknotes with a ⅓ metallic reserve.
Only a small number of trial coins with this inscription were ever cast that were not meant for general circulation as the gold reserves of the Qing dynasty proved insufficient.
These coins weighed 1 Kuping Tael and were cast in the years Guangxu 32 (1906) and Guangxu 33 (1907) and featured a design of a Chinese dragon on one side and the inscription on the other with the year of casting shown in Chinese cyclical years.
Because of the scarce production of these coins, Da-Qing Jinbi coins have been sold at auctions at high prices, during the 2010s a 1907 Da-Qing Jinbi was estimated to be worth between $80,000 and $100,000.

Stanislas Bonn (1833-1888) was a furniture merchant who quickly adapted to the industrialized methods of production during the mid-nineteenth century, and opened a furniture store in Luxembourg in 1855.
Originally, his business was located in the suburbs, but he soon relocated to larger, more centrally located premises on the Philippsgasse (also called the Rue Philippe II).
The Nazis seized the building during World War II, but the Lazard family reclaimed possession of the business and building afterwards.
In the latter renovation the original structure was integrated with the houses neighboring it to both the left and right; a section called Carré Bonn housing offices was created on the upper floors, while the lower 3 levels are reserved for the furniture and decor business showroom.
It was originally built by the Commissioners for Lighting the West Division of Southwark at the southern end of London Bridge in 1854.
It was intended as a memorial to the recently deceased Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, though funds proved insufficient to provide a statue of the man at the top of the tower, as had been originally intended.
Within 10 years the structure was overshadowed by the construction of nearby railway structures and became an obstruction to traffic using the bridge.
Later owners removed the spire in 1904, though the structure remains a prominent landmark in the town and was granted grade II protection as a listed building in 1952.
The Wellington clock tower was constructed as a memorial to the Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, the former British Army general and politician who died in 1852.
It was funded by a public subscription and contributions from railway companies organised by the Commissioners for Lighting the West Division of Southwark.
A design was drawn up by the Arthur Ashpitel in the Perpendicular Gothic style (the Gothic Revival was popular in English architecture of this period).
The lower two levels were enclosed by walls and the uppermost level, within which a statue of Wellington was to stand, left open.
One face of the lowest (ground) level contained a door with an ogee canopy, the other three faces contained a single arch window in the centre.
The second level (first floor) had an arched window on each face, above which were circular apertures for the clock faces, surmounted by crocketted gables.
The uppermost level comprised four piers (one at each corner of the structure) atop which are trefoil cusped arches which supported a spire.
The structure is buttressed in the double angled style in which a buttress support stands on either side of the external corners (making eight in total).
The tower was to be sited at the end southern end of London Bridge and the foundation stone was laid on 17 June 1854 by T. B. Simpson, treasurer to the Commissioners.
The clock in the tower had been made by Bennett of Blackheath for the 1851 Great Exhibition and Bennett promised to maintain the clock for the remainder of his life.
The tower was overshadowed by the construction of the Charing Cross to London Bridge railway and the 1863 Waterloo East viaduct, which detracted from its aesthetic.
It was later condemned by the Metropolitan Police as an obstruction to traffic using the bridge and it was demolished in 1867.
The barges required ballast to stabilise them for the return journey and Burt used material salvaged from buildings demolished in the capital, re-erecting many of them in his hometown.
Even today, many of the Swanage's traffic bollards and lamp posts were originally used in London and the façade of its town hall was originally Christopher Wren's 17th-century Mercers' Hall.
He commemorated the completion of the work by having his initials and the year engraved on the base of the tower, which are still visible today.
The spire was removed in 1904 for unknown reasons, possibly due to storm damage and possibly because the then owners - who were fervent Christians - found it sacrilegious.
A photographic survey and condition report of the structure was carried out in September 2015 to serve as a baseline and to assist in identifying any structural problems.

Once development of the second season started, Shiotani said the new episodes are more difficult to make than those in the first season.
Shiotani wanted to create the film in collaboration with the staff who had worked on season one of the series, and with character designer Naoyuki Onda and art director Shuichi Kusamori, who also worked on the series.
Urobuchi believed the ideal sequel would be a film rather than a television series but wanted to stay true to the roots of the original series.
Robert Othello Hickman (Monticello, Utah September 27, 1926–May 10, 2019) was a Seattle-area pediatric nephrologist and inventor of the Hickman catheter.
He served in the U.S. Air Force in the mid-1940s and married Lucy Jean Whitesides before going on to receive his medical degree from the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
He was part of a team that put the first patient in the world on kidney dialysis and broke ground developing catheters and shunts.
The Hickman catheter is currently used to deliver medication sub-cutaneously, particularly to cancer patients, as well as for the withdrawal of blood for analysis.
Seven years later, he took a second sabbatical as the doctor for the Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center, administering to about 800 students.

Shipbrook Castle near Davenham in Cheshire was a Norman castle situated beside the River Dane, the exact site of which is now unknown.
The site of the Norman Shipbrook Castle by the River Dane is indicated by the name of Castle Hill, between Shipbrook Bridge and Shipbrook Hill Farm, but no traces now remain.
William de Vernon arrived in England at the time of the Norman conquest and was granted lands in the County Palatine of Chester under the patronage of Hugh d'Avranches, 1st Earl of Chester.
Warine Vernon, elder son of the 4th Baron, had no male heir and his extensive estate was divided between his daughters and his brother Ralph, Rector of Hanwell.
The Barony expired when his grandson Sir Richard, was captured after the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403 and executed for treason.
Branches of the family flourished and its influence spread beyond Cheshire over the following centuries, partly as a result of judicious intermarriage.
In 1777 Francis Vernon, 1st Earl of Shipbrook (1715 – 15 October 1783), was created Earl of Shipbrook, in the Peerage of Ireland.
Samnapur was a railway station of the Satpura narrow gauge () railway, today part of Nagpur railway division of South East Central Railway zone.
In October 2015 all narrow gauge network in Nagpur division (622 km), was closed for gauge conversion, except Nagpur – Naghbir line.
The approval of the gauge conversion works have been envolved in controversy, since the Union's environment ministry authorized the construction works in Balaghat-Nainpur section (77 km), which passes through Kanha - Pench tiger corridor.
As of January 2020, a small stretch of 25 km remains closed for conversion, from Samnapur to Lamta station (25 km).

Rosalind Gersten Jacobs (June 9, 1925 – December 21, 2019) was an American fashion buyer, retail executive, merchandise and marketing consultant, art collector, and patron of the arts.
Along with her husband Melvin Jacobs, she built relationships with key artists from the Dada and Surrealist movements during the 1950s and 1960s and assembled a rare and notable collection of their works.
Born in Manhattan, New York City, to Ida (née Goldstein) and Mark Gersten, Rosalind Gersten was the second of three children.
She had a distinguished twenty-four year career as a pioneering retail buyer for Macy's, during which she built lasting relationships with artists whose work would form the core of a celebrated art collection.
Gersten Jacobs was widowed in 1993, when her husband died months after his retirement as chairman and chief executive of Saks Fifth Avenue.
After being accepted into the Macy’s training program in 1949, Gersten quickly became the head buyer for Macy’s Little Shop boutique at the New York City flagship store and was later promoted to vice president and fashion director for Macy's nationwide.
Among her accomplishments in that capacity was the 1968 orchestration at the New York City store of the first comprehensive exhibition in the city of the 1960's generation of British artists.
Over her twenty-four years with Macy's, she travelled to Europe numerous times and acquired items both commercially for Macy's Little Shop boutique and personally for her art collection.
When the family relocated to Miami in 1972, Gersten Jacobs commuted to New York for work until retiring from Macy's in 1975.
Shortly before embarking on her first overseas buying trip for Macy's, in 1954, she met American artists and art patrons Noma and William Copley who were visiting New York from their French home.
As a result of that encounter, the Copleys would become lifelong friends, introducing her to the avant-garde circle of artists whose works she would go on to collect and whose friendships would greatly impact her life.
She made frequent visits to their villa in Longpont, which had become a central gathering place in postwar France for a community of Surrealists to reunite after their dispersal during the war.
On her 1954 buying trip to Paris, the Copleys introduced Gersten Jacobs to the American artist Man Ray and his wife Juliet.
She developed a lifelong friendship with the couple, who—along with the Copleys—would provide entrée to a circle of artists who had been instrumental in the Dada and Surrealist movements during the interwar period.
On a subsequent trip to Paris in 1955, Gersten Jacobs met and befriended the American photographer Lee Miller and British Surrealist Roland Penrose.
The hospitality the couple extended during her frequent visits to their Farley Farm House in Chiddingly, East Sussex, which had became a sort of artists' Mecca, were reciprocated in their visits to the Jacobs's home in New York City.
The print of Miller's 1930 portrait of Charlie Chaplin in the Jacobs's collection was acquired as a result of that friendship.
Although Magritte would remain an artist of great interest—six additional works in various mediums would be added to the burgeoning assembly over the next several years—the artist whose work would ultimately define the collection was Man Ray.
One of twenty paintings in the Shakespearean Equations series the artist produced while living in Hollywood, the work had been among those featured in the Man Ray exhibition at Copley’s gallery in 1948.
Over their years of friendship with the artist, the Jacobses acquired more than fifty works to include photographs, paintings, assemblages, prints, objects, and jewelry representing a trajectory of the artist’s career, as well as a selection of memorabilia.
Interest in supporting artists such as Man Ray during financially precarious periods in the artists’ lives was an impetus behind many of the Jacobs’s acquisitions.
Over a number of years they acquired eleven of his rayographs and additional photographic prints dating from the 1920s to the 1960s.
Immediately after encountering the work at the artist’s exhibition at the Bibliothéque Nationale in Paris in 1962 and recognizing its witty layering of meaning, Gersten Jacobs set out to acquire it.
Embraced as members of an extended family centered around Man Ray and Juliet and the Copleys, the Jacobses would also build lasting friendships with artists Magritte, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Dorothea Tanning, and dealers Julien Levy, Alexander Iolas, acquiring works directly from them.
Other artists from the Dada and Surrealist movements represented in their collection include Hans Bellmer, Salvador Dali, Roberto Matta, Francis Picabia, Joseph Cornell, Mina Loy, Leon Kelly, Yves Tanguy, Wols (Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schultze), and Paul Delvaux.
Additionally, Roz was drawn to the jewelry artists were making, acquiring striking pieces at the intersection of her interests in fashion and art.
Her jewelry collection grew to include brooches, bracelets, rings, earrings and other accessories not only by Man Ray but also Pablo Picasso, Matta, Ernst, Claude Lalanne, Roy Lichtenstein, Niki de Saint Phalle, and, especially, Noma Copley.
The Jacobses were able to assemble their unique collection due to their privileged position within the international art community, and it was a unique chapter in the collection of modern art.
Rosalind and Melvin Jacobs continued to collect into the 1970s and ‘80s, adding works by younger artists they felt resonated with the Surrealists.
After the family moved to Miami in 1972, Gersten Jacobs served on the Board of Governors during the formative period in the development of what subsequently became the Perez Art Museum.
The couple's visit to Duchamp at his Manhattan apartment was followed in 1957 by a house call by the artist to consult about one his pieces in their collection they feared had been damaged.
In addition to continued visits with Man Ray and Juliet and Miller and Penrose on both sides of the ocean, Gersten Jacobs organized a surprise birthday party for Juliet Man Ray in 1971 at La Méditerranée Restaurant in Paris, inviting Ernst and Tanning to join them.
In her later life Gersten Jacobs remained active in support of the arts and served on the board of several organizations including The Merce Cunningham Dance Foundation, Learning Through Art (Guggenheim Museum's Children's Program), and the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami.
Exhibitions featuring their art collection were mounted at Miami’s Museum of Contemporary Art in 2000 and at the Pace/MacGill Gallery in New York City in 2009.
He was a son of the builder and architect Frederick Darley Senior, his father Alderman Darley served as Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1808-09.
The project has lasted for over six years, and Pedersen had, as of January 2020, visited 194 of the planned 203 nations.
The family moved to Vancouver, Canada, then to Toronto, Canada, and after that to New Jersey, USA over a period of six years, before returning to Denmark in 1984 where he spent his childhood growing up in Kerteminde and Bryrup before entering business school at Silkeborg Handelsskole, Silkeborg.
Pedersen graduated as a merchant student in 1998 and was drafted to the military later the same year, serving as a royal life guard at the royal palaces throughout Denmark.
Follwoing an education in shipping and logistic the Dane worked several years abroad in Libya, Bangladesh, Kazahkstan, Azerbaijan, the United States and other countries.
In 2013, Pedersen began planning a project which aimed at visiting every country in the world in a single unbroken journey explicitly without the use of air transport.. Graham Hughes holds the world record of fastest visiting all countries by public surface transport, according to Guinness World Records.
Hughes was however permitted to fly home to Britain twice during his journey, as long as he returned to the same airport in order to continue his journey.
To visit every country in the world, in one single journey, without catching a single flight is something that has never been done before.
Through the project Pedersen intends to reach every country without flying, while promoting every country and the world in a positive way.
Soon after Pedersen crossed into Germany by train and had, in January 2020, reached 193 of the intended 203 countries on all six inhabited continents without returning home.
He is expected to complete the project and return to Denmark again in 2020 after visiting his last country, the Maldives, in October 2020.

A shower will produce rain if the temperature is above the freezing point in the cloud, or snow/ice pellets/snow pellets if the temperature is below it at some point.
Convection occurs when the Earth's surface, especially within a conditionally unstable or moist atmosphere, becomes heated more than its surroundings and in turn leading to significant evaporation.
The raised air parcel in a colder environment at altitude will cool but according to the adiabatic thermal gradient forming clouds, and later precipitation above the lifted condensation level (LCL).
Depending of the Convective available potential energy (CAPE) available, the clouds will be cumulus humilis, cumulus mediocris and then cumulus congestus, the latter giving short-lived precipitation of rain, snow or ice pellets changing in intensity, i.e.
The life cycle of these clouds is fast because the updraft which forms them is most often cut-of by the descent of precipitation.
If the convection is more intense, it leads to the formation of cumulonimbus clouds which have a very large vertical extension.
However they can be in-bedded into a continuous rain episode when there is presence of band of conditional symmetric instability in an otherwise stable air mass.
Rosemary Ferguson Dybwad (May 12, 1910 — November 3, 1992) was an American developmental disability advocate between the 1950s to 1990s.
Dybwad had previously worked as a case worker and at correctional facilities before she joined the National Association for Retarded Children in 1957.

Apart from the work with her husband, Dybwad joined the board of directors for the International League of Societies for Persons with Mental Handicaps in 1966 and remained with the International League in 1978.
For her post-secondary education, Dybwad began her studies at the Western College for Women before completing a two-year fellowship at the University of Leipzig in 1933.
After attending the University of Indiana School of Social Work for a year, Dybwad received a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Hamburg in 1936.
While completing her education in the 1930s, Dybwad was a caseworker at a school before working at correctional facilities in Northeastern United States.
Upon her husband's appointment as director of the National Association for Retarded Children in 1957, Dybwad became the association's secretary of international correspondence that year and held the position until 1963.
Between 1964 to 1967, Dybwad worked at the International Union of Child Welfare and co-directed a project on intellectual disabilities with her husband.
During this time period, Dybwad joined the board of directors for the International League of Societies for Persons with Mental Handicaps in 1966.

The Ross J. Beatty House, also known as Halcyon Hall, is a historic house at 344 Ravine Drive in Highland Park, Illinois.
Built circa 1909, the house was the second of two homes built in Highland Park for steel magnate Ross J. Beatty.
Originally situated on a large lot, the house is a Tudor Revival-style mansion with a carriage house, greenhouse, and gazebo on its grounds.

Bernard Zinman is a Canadian clinical and research endocrinologist, whose research at the University of Toronto focuses on type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
In 2019, he was appointed as an Officer to the Order of Canada in recognition of his scientific contributions, including the development of preventative therapies for diabetes.
He completed his medical degree at McGill University, with further training in internal medicine and endocrinology at McGill University and the University of Toronto.
During this time Zinman worked with Robert Hegele and Stewart Harris to identify the first diabetes-risk gene in an aboriginal population.
Zinman was one of three Canadian principal investigators leading the U.S.-Canada Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), which was launched in 1982 across 29 hospitals and universities; this large type 1 diabetes complications study set out to determine whether intensive or conventional treatment was more effective in tackling diabetic complications.
The DCCT provided evidence showing that maintaining blood glucose levels close to normal slows the onset and progression of diabetic complications, such as those found in the eye, kidneys, and nervous system.
Later on, in a long-term clinical trial consisting of over 7,000 adults in 42 countries with type 2 diabetes, Zinman demonstrated that empagliflozin treatment reduced the risk of death caused by cardiovascular disease by 38 percent.
Zinman is a Judy Pencer Family Chair in Diabetes Research, and was appointed as an Officer to the Order of Canada in 2019.
While studying at Oxford, Boswell played first-class cricket for Oxford University, making his debut against the Free Foresters at Oxford in 1912.

Coronariae (literally a crown or garland) is a term used historically to refer to a group of flowering plants, generally including the lilies (Liliaceae), and later replaced by the order Liliales.
Subsequent authors such as Lindley (1853) preferred the term Liliales for a higher order (which Lindley called Alliances) with four similar families including Liliaceae.
Lotsy (1911) restored Liliales for the higher rank, an approach that has been adopted by every major classification system since, including Hutchinson (1973), Cronquist (1981), Takhtajan (1997), Thorne and Reveal (2007).

Spark Alliance (also known as Spark Alliance HK) is an organization or individual which finances bail payments for persons arrested in connection with the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests.
The account had been used to raise funds for Spark Alliance, which HSBC said was in violation of its terms of service.
The decision led to HSBC subsequently becoming a target of protesters, with several of its branches being vandalized and an online petition organized calling for the United States to block the bank from doing business in the U.S.
On December 19, 2019, the Hong Kong Police Force announced the seizure of HK$70 million in bank deposits linked to Spark Alliance and the arrest of several persons alleged connected to Spark Alliance on charges of money laundering.
Battling Buttler is a musical in three acts with music by Philip Braham and a book and lyrics by Stanley Brightman, Austin Melford and Douglas Furber, which opened in London in 1922.
It was then greatly revised by Walter L. Rosemont (music) and Ballard MacDonald (book and lyrics) and produced on Broadway in 1923 after tryouts in Detroit and Chicago.
The farcical story concerns a man who pretends to be a championship boxer whom he resembles, until the two men are confused with one another, with humorous results.
The musical was staged in America by Guy F. Bragdon, with dances arranged by Dave Bennett, and featured songs by Joseph Meyer, Adorjan Dorian Otvos and Louis Breau.
After Broadway, the show went on the road, including performances in Philadelphia at the Chestnut Street Opera House starting November 10, 1924, and in Wilmington, Delaware, starting December 22, 1924.
Alfred Buttler, who leads a quiet life in a small town in New Hampshire, somewhat resembles a welterweight boxing champion by the same name.
In the second act, his wife (and the chorus) follow him, and the real Battling Buttler, who likes the joke, insists that the fake Buttler take his place in the boxing ring.
When Alfred's wife runs into the boxer's wife, the two women assume that they are married to the same man, and farcical complications ensue.
During her career she exhibited paintings at the Royal Academy in London, with the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and with the Women's International Art Club.
several public Her works are held in collections including Brighton and Hove Museums and Art Galleries, Bushey Museum and Art Gallery and The Box, Plymouth.

The importance of the Shenandoah Valley for the emergence of a distinctive Southern shape-note singing tradition has been noted by many musicologists.
The curatorial focus is on the Kentucky Harmony (1816) and subsequent publications by Ananias Davisson, who lived in the Shenandoah Valley but cultivated a network of singing-school teachers and composers in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia.
Reflecting the vitality of the tradition as practiced today are dozens of new compositions by singers living at time of publication (2013).
In 2010, the del Re family of Boyce, Virginia, who had been singing from publications of Ananias Davisson for 25 years, were joined by other singers who reviewed thousands of nineteenth-century shape-note songs from over seventy sources, as well as new compositions.

R. Mark Henkelman is a Canadian biophysics researcher in the field of medical imaging, now retired, who was appointed as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (2005) and the Order of Canada (2019) in recognition of his pioneering contributions to the field of magnetic resonance imaging.
Henkelman obtained a Master of Science degree in theoretical physics at McMaster University, followed by a PhD exploring the use of electron microscopy, under the supervision of Peter Ottensmeyer, at the University of Toronto.
The Ontario provincial government granted the Princess Margaret Hospital (now known as the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre) funding to purchase the first magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner in Canada in 1982, making Henkelman one of the first to use and engage in MRI research in Canada, where he studied MRI image artifacts and developed image-guided surgery techniques, and used MRI in disease settings, such as cancer and neurosurgery.
Henkelman then served as the vice-president of research at the Sunnybrook Health Science Centre before returning to the laboratory, and later in 2001, left to found a mouse imaging centre.
Today, Henkelman is the director of the Toronto Centre for Phenogenomics' (TCP) Mouse Imaging Centre (MICe), where MICe uses digital imaging technologies to characterize mouse models of different human diseases.
For example, Henkelman supervised then postdoctoral fellow, Jacob Ellegood (now a research associate at MICe), who partnered with Jason P. Lerch (an associate professor at the University of Toronto, and a MICe principal investigator), to scan mice with magnetic resonance imaging, specifically those with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
He is a professor emeritus at the University of Toronto's Department of Medical Biophysics, and a senior scientist emeritus at The Hospital for Sick Children.
He has received the Robert L. Noble Prize in 2008, the Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Prize in 2010, the Gold Medal of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine in 2005, and was appointed a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2005, and an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2019.

The Western Community Hospital is a health facility in William Macleod Way in the Shirley / Millbrook area of Southampton, Hampshire, England.
The facility has its origins in two houses on West Quay in Southampton which were acquired to create an isolation hospital in 1874.
At a meeting of the Local Board of Health later that year, concern was expressed about the ship being anchored off the point where children played on the beach.
These make-shift premises were replaced by a purpose-built facility on Mousehole Lane (now Oakley Road) in Shirley which opened as the Shirley Isolation Hospital in 1900.
This facility joined the National Health Service as the Southampton Chest Hospital and, after the need to treat patients with respiratory problems receded, the facility evolved during the 1960s to become the Southampton Western Hospital.
After the Southampton Western Hospital closed in 1985, a new facility for elderly people was created on the site in January 1996.
Additionally, a primary health centre was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract: this building, which was built by Geoffrey Osborne Ltd at a cost £16 million immediately to the south west of the community hospital, opened as the Adelaide Health Centre (named after the old isolation ship) in January 2010.

The Military Sexual Trauma Movement (MSTM) is a nonprofit organization founded by Janelle Marina Mendez in 2018 with the aim of protecting members of the United States Armed Forces from military sexual trauma (MST) and advocating for survivors of trauma.
The Military Sexual Trauma Movement seeks legislative and institutional reforms that would prevent sexual violence and harassment in the military, and create greater accountability for harassment within the military.
The Military Sexual Trauma Movement was founded in 2018 by Janelle Marina Mendez, a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, as a grassroots platform to combat the issue of sexual violence assault in the United States military.
Mendez currently serves as the CEO and chairwoman of the board of directors for MSTM, which is headquartered in Hudson Valley, New York.
The Facebook group was attacked by users from the closed Facebook group Marines United, which had been at the center of the United States Armed Forces nude photo scandal after it was revealed that Marines United was engaging in widespread revenge porn and sexual harassment.
The Military Sexual Trauma Movement has worked nationally to raise awareness and advocate for new legal reforms which would offer greater protections to members of the Armed Forces, including testifying before Congress.
Among the reforms sought by the MSTM are the extension of state benefits to veterans who experienced MST and were dishonorably discharged, and the legalization of medical cannabis use for veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The Military Sexual Trauma Movement gathers evidence of sexual abuse and harassment, and reports incidents to the press and to military authorities.
On July 6, 2019, the Military Sexual Trauma Movement alerted the United States Marine Corps to a Facebook post in which Chief Warrant Officer 2 Kevin Ennett urged people to kill themselves if they objected to the presence of tanks at Donald Trump's controversial Salute to America event in Washington, D.C. Ennett was subsequently disciplined for the post by his chain of command, and made an apology on Twitter.
The Military Sexual Trauma Movement advocated for the No Bad Paper bill which would extend state benefits to veterans in New York State who were denied an honorable discharge because of discriminatory discharge policies.
The bill, authored by New York State Assemblywoman Didi Barrett, was signed into law as the Restoration of Honor Act by Governor Andrew Cuomo in 2019, and restored benefits eligibility to veterans who were dishonorably discharged due to their LGBTQ identity, or their having experienced military sexual trauma, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or PTSD.
During the event, MSTM did a sit-in with Lisa Nolasco, MSTM's leader for Arizona, at Arizona Senator Martha McSally's office in Washington.

Several volunteers who had accompanied MSTM to the event later sued the organization, claiming that photos of the event used on MSTM's website were their copyright.

Muhammad Bakhit al-Muti'i (1854 or 1856 — 1935) was the Grand Mufti of Egypt, judge in the Shari'a Courts, rector of al-Azhar, and one of the leading Hanafi-Maturidi scholars of his time.
He was also known as a devout scholar who chose to lose his position as mufti rather than bow to government pressure to issue a particular fatwa.
Bakhit studied at al-Azhar and taught there from 1875 to 1880, when he was appointed qadi (Muslim judge) of Qalyubiyya, after which he served as a judge in various provincial centers, Alexandria, and Cairo.
He opposed Muhammad 'Abduh's reforms at al-Azhar, issued a fatwa (Muslim legal opinion) to warn Muslims against bolshevism (presumably meaning politically inspired violence) in the midst of the 1919 Revolution, and took conservative stands on such issues as the translation of the Quran, women's rights, and the abolition of family awqaf.
After he ceased to be the chief mufti, he attacked severely 'Ali 'Abd al-Raziq's al-Islam wa Usul al-Hukm (Islam and the Principles of Rule).
He studied Hanafi fiqh at al-Azhar from 1865 to 1875 and was among those who heard al-Afghani lecturing privately in the Muski district in Cairo.
The following year he became president of the al-Mahkama al-Shar'iyya (the Shari'a Court) in Alexandria, whereupon he was transferred to the Cairo court and became president of its technical council.
He was finally appointed President of the Cairo al-Mahkama al-Shar'iyya al-'Ulya, in succession to the 'Abd Allah Jamal al-Din, who went with Hassunah al-Nawawi to the Khedive in Alexandria.

The Orange Line is a light rail line in Santa Clara County, California, and part of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) light rail system.
It serves 26 stations in the cities of Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, San Jose, and Milpitas, traveling between Mountain View and Alum Rock stations.
The Orange Line starts from the Downtown Mountain View station in Mountain View, California, travels toward the east, passing under U.S. Route 101 at Ellis Avenue, following Mathilda Avenue to Java Drive, crossing State Route 237 and turning east on Tasman Drive, which eventually becomes Capitol Avenue.
For the rest of the trip the line follows Capitol Avenue until it reaches its eastern terminus, the Alum Rock Transit Center.
The route that the Orange Line now runs on is constructed in three different expansion projects: the original Guadalupe line, the Tasman West extension, and the Vasona extension.
The trackway between Old Ironsides station and First Street is part of the Guadalupe line, the first light rail line constructed in Santa Clara county.
The Guadalupe line opened for revenue service on December 10, 1987 originally running from Old Ironsides station to Civic Center station in San Jose.
Champion station was not part of the original line; it was added as intermediate stop as part of the Tasman West project.
Champion station was the first to open as an infill stop along the existing Guadalupe line trackway, opening March 24, 1997.
On December 17, 1999, of trackway and 12 new light rail stations added between the existing Old Ironsides station and the new Downtown Mountain View station.
This extension runs from the I-880/Milpitas station east along the Great Mall Parkway in Milpitas, then into East San Jose on Capitol Avenue to Alum Rock Transit Center on Alum Rock Avenue.
In 2014, a new storage track and crossover was constructed between Old Ironsides and Reamwood as part of improvements to support events at Levi's Stadium and the future Silicon Valley BART extension.
Ahead of the opening of the Silicon Valley BART extension to Berryessa / North San Jose, the Orange Line was created.
VTA have proposed a future extension to this line running along the median of Capitol Expressway to connect with the Blue Line's Capitol Station at Route 87.
Phase 1 of the Capitol Expressway extension would include new light rail stations at Story Road and VTA's Eastridge Transit Center, extending the line south from Alum Rock.
An earlier version of the project also included a station at Ocala as part of Phase 1, but the Ocala station was eliminated in 2014.
As originally proposed in the 2005 FEIR, the original proposed extension included several new stations along the extension to State Route 87.

Sugarcoma (commonly stylised in camel case as SugarComa) were a British alternative metal band from London, who were active between 1999 and 2004.
In March 1999 the band formed when vocalist Jess Mayers joined forces with guitarist Claire Simson, who had previously played in a band called Little Green Pants.
The four members were all teenage pupils at St Edward's Church of England School and they recorded a demo tape using the school's facilities.
The band started sending their demo out and, as they did so in alphabetical order, the first record label to show interest was the first to receive the tape, Abuse Records.
He later established a business relationship with Tony Defries' management company MainMan and changed the name of his label to Velocity Recordings.
Their parents called in lawyers who advised against signing the Velocity Recordings/MainMan contract, aspects of which fell below the industry standard.
They impressed My Ruin's volatile singer Tairrie B and moved up the billing when original main support act Snake River Conspiracy pulled out.
They then played a few dates with Guano Apes before returning to the studio to work on writing their debut album.
In April 2002 the band headlined a UK tour for the first time, supported by Music For Nations label mates InMe.
Although the band enjoyed supporting the established metal bands they admired, they sometimes faced hostility from audiences whose fierce loyalty was to the headline acts.
The Britney Spears cover version was conceived as a joke during early rehearsal sessions and had been successfully deployed as an encore when the band lacked enough material of their own.
The album had been completed by January 2002 but was not released until 5 August 2002 in Europe and 27 August 2002 in the United States.
In September 2002 the band was announced as the support act for SOiL and The Wildhearts on their respective UK tours.
In May 2003 it was reported that the band had recorded a batch of demos for their second album, which was three quarters complete and provisionally scheduled for release on Music For Nations in early 2004.
By March 2004 they had recorded some more demos but had been released from Music For Nations (which folded that year due to changes at its parent company Sony Music) and were looking for another record deal.
Although the band had declined to sign with Velocity Recordings in 2000, they were bemused when the label continued to release their early material without their knowledge or consent.
In April 2015 Mayers was running a human resources department, Simson was a digital project manager working in mobile app development and Fisk was a train driver on the London Underground.

For his portrayal of Sid, Rice was longlisted for Best Actor at the British Soap Awards in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
It was copyrighted on August 16, 1918, and published by Oliver Ditson in Boston in two forms: for four-part ensemble of mixed voices and for four-part ensemble of male voices, with baritone soloist.
For its 1918 Fourth of July concert, the Boston Pops Orchestra asked Stephen Townsend to lead three sets of songs to be sung by a male chorus, and evidently Townsend evidently requested or commissioned Manney to produce a commemorative work.
The work is in a cultivated style, with words and rhythm evoking a heroic slow march and textures suitable for upper-class church anthems.
Ditson made only a modest effort to promote it, but nevertheless, over the next decade it received several performances by amateur ensembles ranging from church groups to civic organizations to high school ensembles.
In the mid-1920s it receded from view, but it was retained in Ditson’s catalogue, and Manney renewed the copyright in 1946.
Its greatest impact, however, came three years later, when it was sung, in part, at the start and finish of the celebrated television documentary Crusade in Europe.

The uprising in Epirus of 1611 also known as uprising of Dionisios Skylosophos was organized by the Greek Orthodox bishop Dionysios Skylosophos against Ottoman rule.
He later received promises of support from the Spaniards of the Kingdom of Naples and begun preparations for another uprising in the region of Epirus.
At the beginning of September 1611 a total of 1,000 men from 70 villages were gathered in the coastal region of Thesprotia and were ready to revolt.
However the vast majority of them had only access to peasant tools with 40 of them bearing arquebuses and additional 100 yatagans.
Dionysios also managed to gain the support of various Greek nobles of the area, such as the personal secretary of the Pasha of Ioannina and the metropolitan bishop of Dryinopolis, Mattheos.
Approximately 1,000 peasants and shepherds took active part while most of them poorly armed with bows, cudgels, javelins and peasant tools.
They violently attacked their nearest oppressors; the Islamized inhabitants of the villages Tourkogranitsa and Zaravousa, in Thesprotia and then marched towards Ioannina, the administrative center of the region.
There they arrived at the night of September 10-11 and burnt down the house of the local Ottoman lord, Osman Pasha.
However, Osman Pasha managed to escape and the following day the Ottoman garrison of the city reinforced with a small cavalry unit and with the support of local Greek notables defeated and dispersed the rebellious elements.

Josef Svoboda is a Canadian Arctic tundra scientist and botanist, who was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Canada (2019) for his pioneering scientific contributions regarding the Artic tundra ecosystems, and his lifelong mentorship of scientists.
While in university, Svoboda's involvement in student underground politics prompted his arrest at the age of 20, where he spent almost nine years in various prisons and labour campus, including being forced to work in a uranium mine for four years.
While incarcerated, Svoboda continued to learn from fellow prisoners, and even received seminary training from bishops and prelates in a Leopoldov prison, though he was never ordained.
Upon release in 1958, Svoboda attempted to continue his university studies with little success before taking on a research role at the Academy of Science in Brno.
In the Prague Spring of 1968, at the age of 37, Svoboda left for Canada to complete a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Western Ontario, a doctorate at the University of Alberta, and then began a 22-year-long teaching and research career at the University of Toronto.
From 1992 and onwards, Svoboda's research lab has participated in the International Tundra Experiment to understand the timing and abundance of various Arctic flowers across different sites in relation to global warming.
In 1993, Svoboda received a Northern Science Award from the Polar Knowledge Canada in recognition of his contributions to the global understanding of plant communities following glacial retreat, and his pioneering approaches in arctic botany.

Freud Corner is the name used for the place within Golders Green Crematorium in North London, where the funerary urns of Sigmund Freud and many other members of the Freud family are deposited.
When writing his will in 1919, Sigmund Freud stated that he wanted to be cremated as it was a cheaper and easier process than conventional burial.
After the funeral, Freud's ashes were deposited in an ancient Greek bell krater from the 4th century BC which came from his large collection of over 2000 antiquities (see below).
Their ashes are today kept on three-tiered white stone shelves erected on either side of the plinth with Sigmund and Martha's urn.
On New Year's Day 2014, Golders Green Crematorium staff discovered that burglars had apparently broken into the Ernest George Columbarium overnight and smashed the ancient bell krater containing Sigmund and Martha Freud's ashes in the attempt to steal the vessel.
Visits to Freud Corner can only be made in the company of a member of Golders Green Crematorium's staff and after reporting to reception.
In the centre of this niche stands a black marble plinth, with the funerary urn of Sigmund and Martha Freud on top.
It is not known why, when, and by whom the decision was made to place Freud’s ashes in this vessel; there is no mention of such an intention in any of Freud's correspondence, in his last will, or in any subsequent family correspondence.
He used to keep the bell krater on display in his study at Berggasse 19, Vienna, until his move to the United Kingdom in June 1938.
The white stone shelf to the left of the black marble plinth with the ancient Greek bell krater currently holds nine urns.
While most of these are brick-sized brownish metal containers inscribed with the name, date of birth and date of death of the deceased, both the cremated remains of Colin Peter Freud and of Margaret Freud are kept in wooden caskets.
The ashes of Anton Walter Freud and his wife share a large wooden casket, while the cremated remains of Henny Freud are kept in a stone urn made of granite.

Jewish men who have had a yeshiva education are challenged by many negative influences in the workplace, such as Internet usage and lack of modesty.
According to Dirshu founder Rabbi Dovid Hofstedter, by enabling these men to continue immersing themselves in Torah study, many of these challenges are rendered moot.
As it gained popularity, the Dirshu program of daily study, review, and testing also appealed to Jewish men who were still enrolled in yeshiva and kollel.
By fostering discipline and accountability for personal study, Dirshu enables participants to master their learning, and has produced serious Torah scholars.
In 1997, Rabbi Dovid Hofstedter, a Canadian Jewish businessman working in real estate and property management, opened a small beis medrash (study hall) in his Toronto office.
As an extra incentive, Hofstedter offered a small stipend, and introduced a system of regular tests by which participants could assess their progress.
Each program stresses continual review of the material, and includes regularly scheduled tests by which students can assess their mastery of the material.
In September 2012, the organization announced that 10,000 men in Israel had signed up to take the first test on the first 30 pages of the new Daf Yomi cycle.
Kinyan Torah testing sites were also opened that month in more than 300 communities around the globe, including South Africa, Gibraltar, France, Russia, and cities across the United States.
The program's popularity in Israel also indicates the importance of the stipend awarded for outstanding test scores, as many members of the Israeli Torah community struggle to make ends meet.
Every six months, they take an additional test on all the material they have studied to date, from the beginning of the Daf Yomi cycle.
The cumulative tests are new each time, prompting the student to diligently review and retain huge amounts of material over the seven-and-a-half-year Daf Yomi cycle.
At the final test, the student is tested on his knowledge of the entire Talmud—a total of 2,711 pages of text and commentary.
In addition, one who successfully completes the entire Talmud with Rashi in the first cycle will advance to a higher level of study in the second cycle, where he will be expected to learn the Talmud together with the commentary of Tosafot.
In the second cycle, the course of study expands to include additional topics in Yoreh De'ah, Even Ha'ezer, and Choshen Mishpat.
The program is open to all participants, including those already enrolled into other Dirshu programs, and stipends are awarded for outstanding test scores.
The idea of supplementing the traditional kollel or yeshiva learning program was a controversial one, but Dirshu was supported by Rabbi Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz and other Torah leaders.
Between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m., participants are requested to say Psalm 20 and Psalm 130, which beseech God for His protection and salvation.

Robin Hood's Larder (also known as the Butcher's Oak, the Slaughter Tree and the Shambles Oak) was a veteran tree in Sherwood Forest that measured in circumference.
The tree had long been hollow and is reputed to have been used by the legendary outlaw Robin Hood and others as a larder for poached meat.
The oak tree was located in Birklands, part of Sherwood Forest that was first mentioned in 1251 and in continual ownership by the crown for 600 years.
The site is currently in the ownership of the Forestry Commission and the Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre, run by Nottinghamshire County Council, is nearby.
It is reputed that Robin Hood used the hollow trunk of the tree as a temporary store for venison poached from the royal forest.
The use of such trees for storing game was common in the times before refrigeration and regardless of the veracity of the Robin Hood legend it is likely that at some point the tree was used for this purpose by poachers.
It is said that in earlier times hooks used for the hanging of meat could still be seen affixed to the inside of the tree; these had vanished by 1913.
Because of this legend the tree has also been known as the Butcher's Oak, the Slaughter Tree and the Shambles Oak, the latter because it was the traditional name for an area of town where butchers and abattoirs were located.
An 1874 guidebook to the region mentions the tree and states that it was used formerly by a thief named Hooton to hang the carcasses of stolen sheep.
Towards the end of the 19th century the tree was badly burned in a fire originating from a group of schoolgirls boiling a kettle within the hollow.

The course of the river was developed in Edo period (1603-1868), when Edo (old name of Tokyo) became the shogunal capital of Japan.

The National Register of Citizens (NRC) is a register of all Indian citizens whose creation is mandated by the 2003 amendment of the Citizenship Act, 1955.
Its purpose is to document all the legal citizens of India so that the illegal migrants can be identified and deported.
Assam, being a border state with unique problems of illegal immigration, had a register of citizens created for it in 1951 based on the 1951 census data.
The Illegal Migrants (Determination by Tribunal) Act, 1983 was then passed by the Parliament, creating a separate tribunal process for identifying illegal migrants in Assam.
The Supreme Court of India struck it down as unconstitutional in 2005, after which the Government of India agreed to update the Assam NRC.
Following unsatisfactory progress on the process of updating the Assam NRC for over a decade, the Supreme Court started directing and monitoring the process in 2013.
The final updated NRC for Assam, published on 31 August 2019, contained 31 million (3.1 crore) names out of its population of 33 million (3.3 crore), leaving out 1.9 million (19 lakh) applicants.
Many of those affected were Bengali Hindus, who constitute a major voter base for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the majority party at the centre.
The Amendment of the 1955 Citizenship Act, in part, helps protect non-Muslims who are not in the register and face arrest or deportation.
The ruling government of BJP has promised to implement the NRC for all of India in its election manifesto and campaign speeches the 2019 Indian general election.
On 19 November 2019, Home Minister Amit Shah, declared in the Rajya Sabha of the Indian parliament that the NRC will be implemented throughout the country.
According to the Citizenship Rules, 2003, the central government can issue an order to prepare the National Population Register (NPR) and create the NRC based on the data gathered in it.
The 2003 amendment further states that the local officials would then decide if the person's name will be added to the NRC or not, thereby deciding his citizenship status.
The Citizenship Rules of 2003, framed under the Citizenship Act of 1955, prescribe the manner of preparation of the National Register of Citizens.
The National Population Register (NPR) is a list of all the people residing in India and includes both the citizens and the non-citizens.
This definition was stated by the then Minister of State for Home Affairs, Kiren Rijiju, as a response in the Rajya Sabha, that was released on 26 November 2014 by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India.
Residents of a locality living there for at least six months with plans to continue their residence for another six months or more are included into the list of NPR.
It is prepared as per the provisions of the Citizenship Act, 1955, and the Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and Issue of National Identity Cards) Rules, 2003 (passed by the BJP government under Vajpayee).
According to the Citizenship Rules, 2003, the centre can issue an order to prepare the NPR and create the NRC based on the data gathered in the NPR.
As per the 2003 Citizenship rules, the local officials would then decide if the person's name will be added to the NRC or not, thereby deciding his citizenship status.
Since 2014, the government has stated in the Parliament several times that the National Register of Indian Citizens (NRIC) or NRC is based on the data collected under the NPR, after the verification of the citizenship status of every individual.
The NPR planned for 2020 will also include more details such as the place of birth of the parents, last place of residence and the serial number for official documents.
Critics believe the Indian government will use the list to mark people as doubtful citizens after which they would be asked to prove their citizenship.
On 24 December 2019, the Union Cabinet approved for updating the NPR, marking one of the first steps in implementing the NRC.
According to the Section 3(2)(c) of The Foreigners Act, 1946, the central government can deport people of foreign countries who are staying illegally in India.
In anticipation of the possible requirement to house a large number of illegal foreigners, who may be declared as such by the final NRC of India and the Foreigners' Tribunals, the government is in the process of building several detention camps throughout India.
In 2014, the Centre had told all the states to set up at least one detention centre for illegal immigrants so as not to mix them up with jail inmates.
In 2018, activists filed a petition in the Supreme Court of India and brought to its notice the condition of the families separated from each other and locked separately in the six existing detention centres of Assam.
On 9 January 2019, the Union government released a '2019 Model Detention Manual', which stated that every city or district, having a major immigration check post, must have a detention centre.
In December 2019, it was reported that the detention centres planned in West Bengal and Kerala had been put on hold.
The first detention centre in Assam came up in 2008, when the Congress was in power in the state, under orders of the court.
The first such new exclusive detention camp is under construction in the district of Goalpara in lower Assam at the cost of around and a capacity to hold 3000 people.
The detention center covers approximately square feet (about the size of seven football grounds) and was planned to have fifteen storeys.
CAA and NRC protests are a series of protests in India against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, which was enacted into law on December 12, 2019, and against the nationwide implementation of the NRC.
Protesters in all regions are concerned that the upcoming compilation of the National Register of Citizens might be used to deprive Muslims of Indian citizenship.
As of 12 January 2020, activists have continued to protest the act on the streets, with a lot of individuals carrying placards criticizing the act as well as the government.

The Bleary Darts Club shooting was a mass shooting that took place on 27 April 1975 in the village of Bleary, Northern Ireland.
Members of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) burst into a darts club frequented by Catholics and opened fire on the crowd, killing three civilians and wounding a fourth.
At about 10:40pm, three masked loyalist gunmen kicked the door open and opened fire on the crowd with a Sterling submachine gun, a Webley Revolver and a shotgun.
Three men were killed, all Catholic civilians: father-of eight John Feeney (45), father-of-six Joseph Toman (48), and father-of-four Brendan O'Hara (38).
Six days before the attack at Bleary, the group had claimed responsibility for killing three Catholic civilians—two brothers and their pregnant sister—in a booby-trap bomb attack at a house near Granville, County Tyrone.
Loyalists Stuart Ashtown and Derek McFarland admitted to the attack in 1980 along with a string of other offenses, including the shooting of Catholic civilians Marian Rafferty and Thomas Mitchell.
The shooting is one of many in the area that has been linked to the Glenanne gang; a group of loyalists that included police officers from the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) and soldiers from the Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR).
The sub-machine gun was used in the Miami Showband massacre, which was carried out by members of the group three months later.
Among other evidence, a witness saw him in a car near the club the Sunday before the attack, and saw the same car near the club again, about half an hour before the attack.

Johnny Hornby is the chairman of Prince Harry’s Sentebale charity and the founder of the marketing and PR holdings company The&Partnership.
Hornby was born in Lemington Spa, but due to his father’s work, he attended a state school in the south of France before moving to Connecticut.
Upon graduation, Hornby worked at the Ogilvy & Mather agency before moving to CDP in 1995, where he gained his first senior position.
Following a search co-ordinated by Labour backbencher Peter Mandelson TBWA won New Labour’s account and worked on Tony Blair’s 2001 general election campaign.
Following the campaign, which saw Blair re-elected with 413 seats, Hornby set about founding an agency with TBWA’s former chief executive Simon Clemmow under the provisional title, Clemmow Hornby.
Upon leaving TBWA, Hornby struck an agreement, allowing him to take one of TBWA’s most valuable accounts, Sir Charles Dunstone, the former chairman of the mobile phone retailer, Carphone Warehouse.
Dunstone allowed Hornby to run CHI from a loft above Carphone Warehouse’s Marlybone Road shop in Northwest London, effectively enabling Hornby to create an agency with little or no start-up costs and one major client.
Following a string of successful pitches, the agency developed a client base ranging from drinks companies to financial services to radio stations.
When Hornby came to sell a 49.9% stake in the company to Sir Martin Sorrell, he did so for £30 million.
Following his Sorrell deal and subsequent acquisition spree, Hornby added nine agencies to his portfolio and founded The&Partnership as a holdings company for his newly acquired agencies.
He adopted a similar model to many law firms, whereby the partners are owners in the business and work together for a single profit and loss statement.
By 2013, the company employed 1,400 people internationally, partly aided by Hornby’s access to GroupM, the media buying arm of WPP plc, who at the time purchased approximately one-third of all British television advertising.
After the disgraced former Carillion chairman, Philip Nevill Green stood down from Prince Harry’s Sentebale charity in 2018, the anti-HIV non-profit announced Hornby as its new chairman.

100 years later, humanity is yet to reclaim their lost lands, and remnants of human civilizations are splintered into seven countries but are united against the fiends.
A massive magical barrier was erected by Babel in the center of the seven nations, thwarting the fiends' invasion and saving humanity from extinction.
Alus Reigin — protagonist and Magicmaster from the nation of Alpha — has been battling the fiends since the age of six.
With that, he ends up as a student at Second Magical Institute, forced to hide his identity, but some of the select few knew who this boy truly is.
On top of his growing list of responsibilities and frequent messes in dealing with these beauties, he resumes his research and continues to defeat the Fiends in secret.
He is yet to fully comprehend the mysteries surrounding his nature, which is why he devoted himself to magical research on top of his Magicmaster duties.
He is a good researcher, performing self-research on magic at an early age to gain a better understanding of his abilities.
However, being raised as an effective killing machine from an early age, Alus lacks of tact and understanding when it came to the subtleties of the heart.
Despite his icy cold exterior, his personality is subtly changing, such as being able to read the mood of an event as he spends more time with the girls at the institute.
He works on his magic researches in his free time and sometimes responds to mission requests that comes directly from Governer-General Berwick Sarebian.
Like Alus, she was an orphan after losing her parents to the Fiends, and her hatred towards the fiend spurred her decision to join the military at a very young age.
Eventually, she would reencounter Alus when he saved her life on her first mission, which went awry back when she was a child.
When she learned of Alus's enrollment at the Institute, she immediately followed suit and eventually became his partner after undergoing a trial imposed by Alus.
She is exceptionally loyal to Alus and tends to get jealous of the other girls when they get too close to him.
She is adept at housework such as cleaning up the laboratory, indexing research paper works and even prepares meals for Alus.
She eventually warmed up and became more accepting of the two girls, when she realized Tesfia and Alice are working hard not just for their own sake, but for others as well.
After she lost to Alus in a mock battle and discovered Alus's true identity, her opinion of him took a turn for better.
Her affinity is light magic, and due to defects in her mana information as an unintended result of the experiment, she is also capable of wielding attribute-less magic to a certain degree, albeit inferior to Alus.
A Triple-Digit Magicmaster, Felinella is a talented Second-year student in the Institute as well as the girls' dormitory supervisor, meaning she is senior to Tesfia and Alice.
She is the daughter of Lord Vizaist Socalent, one of the prominent noble families in Alpha, and she is very popular throughout the noble society of the seven nations.
After the subjugation mission against Godma, she realized winning Alus' heart through her father's influence would only lead to a one-sided love.
At her peak, she was ranked 9th but eventually retired from active duty due to certain circumstances — an unspoken rule among the seven nations — each nation should only have one Single-digit Magicmaster to maintain political balance.
Since Alpha had two single-digit Magicmaster in the form of Sisty and Alus, Sisty opted for retirement since she was older than Alus.
Head of one of the most distinguished Noble families in Alpha, he holds the title of 'Lord' with the rank of captain.
A mad scientist with no regard to ethics and human life, he is the source of all the dreadful things in Alice and Melissa's life.
While on the run, he secretly receives fundings, research equipment, and materials from a powerful yet unknown individual — with an alias 'Enouve' — to continue his illegal research.

Emme had to address the challenges of obtaining solid support within NASA for historical research while developing scholars who would establish the basis for documenting and interpreting aerospace history, a new discipline that would largely rely on material from NASA programs.
In 1962 Emme arranged for the annual Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) meeting to have a special session on the history of rocketry.
However, the book added little information that was not already publicly available, and avoided discussion of controversies such as the decision by President John F. Kennedy to ignore his advisers and send a manned flight to the moon.

By an initiative of Captain Luís Carlos Donado Velilla, who wanted to withdraw from Aerocosta and set up a new airline only from his family, he was born on February 28, 1974.
LAC started as a limited company and Luis´s first partners were, his wife María Fajardo de Donado and his two brothers Orlando and Raúl Donado Velilla.
Captain Lucho Donado already had experience in the creation and development of airlines, as he had co-founded LATCO, Aerocóndor and Aerocosta.
The time to start a company alone was very hard to do however given the conditions of focusing almost all your time on the business.
In 1972, and despite being Aerocosta at its best, Captain Luis Carlos Donado (one of the majority shareholders) was tired of non-family members and decided to sell this airline to Floramerica.
The new managers of this company did not like the C-46 much and that is how Lucho Donado made a proposal to buy them for a price slightly higher than what they had acquired ,but with the condition that they let them operate under the banner of Aerocosta until LAC had the approval of the Aerocivil.
This was the case and the Donado Velilla brothers flew their two Curtiss planes through the Eastern Plains with the Aerocosta flag ,but billing the flights as Donado Velilla Brothers (DOVEL) until February 28, 1974, when they already start operating with the Colombian Aerocivil as Caribbean Airlines Ltd.
In mid-September of the same year 74, the company became closed anonymous and the wives and children of the Donado Velilla brothers were included as partners.
Raúl Donado Velilla moved to Bogotá with his family and Carlos Alberto Donado Fajardo (finishing his university studies) is linked to the company in Barranquilla.
In August 1974, the company acquired a Douglas DC-6 (HK-1706) aircraft in Damascus (Syria) and began international operations to Panama, Margarita Island (Venezuela) and some Caribbean Islands.

LAC signed an important contract with El Tiempo and El Espectador to transport the press every night from Bogotá to Barranquilla, Cali and Medellín.
In August of 1977, LAC sold the Curtiss and renewed its fleet by acquiring four DC-6s in auction in Tucson (Arizona) of which two were operated (HK-1702 and HK-1703) and the rest were scrapped for spare parts.
With these two new Douglas DC-6B, the newly approved route to Miami began operating in October with three new weekly frequencies, weekly flights to Panama are increased to three, and the new route to Caracas is opened.

It has a decorated appearance, with its mainly yellow brick front facade topped by a false front parapet with a cornice of contrasting red brick corbelling, and with simulated quoins around door and windows also done in red brick.
The primary significance of the building is its association with the newspaper, which was established in 1889 in the mining town of Salubria, Idaho, three miles west of Cambridge.
It was moved to Cambridge after the P & IN Railroad was built across the Weiser River instead of through Salubria, and buildings were either moved or torn down and rebuilt in the new townsite of Cambridge.
It was the area's only source for world, national, and local news, and was published each Thursday; the Thursday publication history continued to the date of National Register listing.

After shining in his early years, his high amount of playing time and early exposure to alcohol abuse took its toll on Pękala's development.
During his time with Śląsk he was involved in a night of drinking when he and three other players partied in a T-34 tank outside of a Soviet cemetery.
In the winter of 1984 Pękala was involved in a hit and run driving accident, eventually surrendering himself to the authorities.
Eventually Śląsk had had enough of the player and his antics and he was transferred to Lechia Gdańsk in early 1985.

She had no formal training prior to being appointed therefore Gordon visited prisons in Europe in order to learn best practice.
She organised the prison labour so that menial tasks such as cleaning were assigned to short-term inmates while more productive roles were given to long-term inmates such as training for jobs when released.
Gordon is also credited with physical improvements in conditions in British prisons such as better lighting in jail cells with the use of clear glass in windows, and introducing notebooks to HM Prison Holloway.
She was a supporter of the British suffragette movement, and secretly communicated with Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence and the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) about the state of prisons, and incarcerated leaders such as Emmeline Pankhurst.
When the WSPU headquarters were raided by the police on 23 May 1914, this correspondence was discovered and she was asked by the Home Office to renounce her association with the movement which she refused to do so.
During World War I, she served from July to December 1916 with the Scottish Women's Hospitals for Foreign Service in Macedonia.
Gordon provided her with men's clothing and a train fare to South Wales, where she obtained work as a coal miner.
Initially this was thought likely as prison commissioners had recognised the need for it but after the 1922 general election, the new Home Secretary William Bridgeman, 1st Viscount Bridgeman decided against it.
Gordon was highly critical of Virginia Woolf's of artist Roger Fry particularly in its portrayal of his wife, the artist Helen Coombe, who she was close friends with.

It was owned by the United Broadcasting Company and served as a semi-satellite of its WOOK-TV/WFAN-TV in Washington, D.C., with some locally originated programs.
Even though the station did not come on the air until March 1967, WMET-TV's construction permit was issued more than 13 years prior in December 1953, as WTLF on channel 18.
The channel specified on the permit was changed from 18 to 24 in 1961, as part of a four-way shuffle that primarily served to cluster the operating TV channels in the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, area, by changing channels 55 and 71 there to 21 and 33.
In 1962, United turned its efforts to constructing WOOK-TV, channel 14 in Washington, D.C., and noted that it hoped to put WTLF on the air within six to twelve months of signing on WOOK-TV.
However, channel 24 still was not on the air by 1965, when the Federal Communications Commission put pressure on the owners of dark UHF construction permits—including WTLF—to explain why they should not be withdrawn; also at that time, the FCC denied an application by United to allow WTLF to begin operations on channel 18 before moving to 24.
In August 1965, the FCC approved changes to the construction permit reflecting the facilities it would build; the next month, WTLF changed its call letters to WMET-TV.
The station's first live program from its Baltimore studios was a three-hour special on April 17, presenting films on both sides of the Vietnam War argument.
Pauline Wells Lewis, then a disc jockey at WSID and in the middle of a 50-year career in gospel music and local radio, hosted a Saturday night half-hour.
In 1971, the station's news director was 19-year-old John Domenick, a college sophomore who delivered a half-hour newscast at 4:30 p.m. each weekday compiled from wire service material.
Channel 24's studios were a converted movie theater, the former Avalon Theater on Park Heights Avenue, which also housed the United Baltimore radio stations; the radio studios occupied the former manager's office and production room, and the auditorium was converted into a studio.
In 1971, United found a proposed buyer for its Baltimore station: the Christian Broadcasting Network, which agreed to pay $750,000 to buy channel 24.
Later in the year, United announced it would exit television altogether; by this time, CBN had cut its purchase price to $125,000, a sum negotiated after CBN threatened to pull out of the agreement altogether.
As United continued to lose money—$7,000 a month—running channel 24, and with many of its stations in legal limbo, the company took WMET-TV dark on January 14, 1972, and sought permission to remain silent from the FCC until the transfer to CBN is finalized.
The FCC Broadcast Bureau granted it 60 days of silence, worried that, if channel 24 were to wait for the CBN sale to return to air, it might be off air for months or years.
In 1973, while the hearing examiner's initial decision found against WOOK radio and preferred its competing application to the renewal of that station, it found United qualified to be a licensee and recommended renewal of WFAN-TV's (unchallenged) license.
United asked the FCC to keep the WFAN-TV and WMET-TV licenses active pending a sale, but the FCC said that because of the multiple and interrelated proceedings against Eaton that were likely to take years, and since the sales were conditioned on hearing actions, that would simply take too long.
On April 26, 1974, the FCC ruled that both licenses should be revoked so that new applications could be accepted for Washington's channel 14 and Baltimore's channel 24.
In February 1977, Jesus Lives, Inc., whose president hosted a syndicated talk show of the same name, applied to build a new station on channel 24.
After years of trying to obtain funding to obtain the facility and the sale of the construction permit, channel 24 returned to Baltimore nearly 14 years after it had left, as WKJL-TV on December 24, 1985.

She notes that where the third strong beat should come (after the fourth syllable), some performers traditionally leave a pause equivalent to one short syllable; the third strong beat is then silent, and the fourth strong beat then falls on the fourth short syllable.
Deo argues that this rhythm is also (a variation of) trochaic, with a strong beat on the 1st, 4th, and 7th syllables.
The final section of 7 syllables is also found at the end of other metres such as , , , , and .
It has been argued that both and are later expansions of the earlier , which occurs occasionally even in the Vedas mixed with other varieties of .
The traditional Indian method of analysing metre is to use three-syllable patterns known as , which are algebraically represented by letters of the alphabet.

This name is most commonly used in connection with the search for extrasolar planets, where they are useful because these evolved stars are cooler and have more spectral lines than their main sequence counterparts, making planet detection easier.
A planet with a mass roughly 2.2 times that of Jupiter orbiting at a distance of 2.09 astronomical units (AU) once every 883 days was discovered in 2011.
HD 131496 and its planet, HD 131496b, were chosen as part of the 2019 NameExoWorlds campaign organised by the International Astronomical Union, which assigned each country a star and planet to be named.
The winning proposal for the name of the star was Arcalís, after a mountain peak in northern Andorra where the Sun shines through a gap twice a year at fixed dates, leading to its use as a primitive Solar calendar.
The planet was named Madriu, after a glacial valley and river in southeastern Andorra that forms the major part of the Madriu-Perafita-Claror UNESCO world heritage site.

In the early 1930s Boisseau began performing at the Cotton Club, a night club in New York that featured numerous well-known African American jazz musicians and entertainers from 1923 to 1940, through the Prohibition era.
She left for Paris briefly around 1935 along with other African American entertainers of the time as they were treated better and more appreciated among Europeans.
She was one of sixteen female dancers who made up the Apollo chorus line and were considered to be the best female dancers in New York.
Among other notable dancers who worked in the chorus line during the 1930s were Ristina Banks, Carol Carter, Marion Evelyn Edwards, Elaine Ellis, Myrtle Hawkings, Temy Fletcher, Cleo Hayes and others.
She, like the majority of the Cotton Clubs Girls, criticized the film as it didn’t accurately capture the history of the club and the famous chorus line, focusing more on violence and gangsters.
The film draws the portrait of her personality showing her current life and memories from the 1930s when she danced in the Cotton Club working with Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong.

The game features a mix between a post-apocalyptic and a fantasy setting, and is heavily inspired by the pen-and-paper role-playing game Gamma World and Dungeons & Dragons.
While some rate the game as being more accessible compared to other roguelikes, other reviews find the game's interface confusing and are deterred by the lack of an in-depth tutorial.
Contrary to other traditional roguelikes, the game has a quest system as a core mechanic, with some of these quests being scripted while others are procedurally generated.
Players can choose to follow the main questline but can also choose to ignore it and play the game without following the pre-written plot.
The default starting location is the pre-made town of Joppa, but it is also possible to choose to spawn in one of the many procedurally generated towns.
It generates a set of historical events and group relationships mostly centered around a set of five randomly-generated ancient rulers, dubbed Sultans.
Instead of having historical events being generated without bias, its procedural history system is based around historical accounts, like word of mouth and ancient texts.

Whilst there is a considerable recruitment demand for artificial intelligence intelligence researchers, Thomas has argued that even though these careers have traditionally required a PhD, access to supercomputers and large data sets, these are not essential prerequisites.
Thomas has studied unconscious bias in machine learning, and emphasised that even when race and gender are nor explicit input variables in a particular data set, algorithms can become racist and sexist when that information becomes latently encoded on other variables.
She believes that there should be more people from historically underrepresented groups working in tech to mitigate some of the harms that certain technologies may cause as well as to ensure that the systems created benefit all of society.
The 2019 World Taekwondo Grand Slam is the 3rd edition of the World Taekwondo Grand Slam series taking place from 18-20 December in Wuxi, China.
This was, in effect, the same event as the Euro-Asia Masters Challenge which ran a season earlier but under a different name.
This time, the field consisted of four world champions, Stephen Hendry, John Higgins, Ken Doherty and Mark Williams plus James Wattana, Ding Junhui, Marco Fu and up and coming Thai player, Atthasit Mahitthi.
The format was the same with the players split into two round robin groups with the top two from each progressing to the semi finals.
Jidbali road is a road which runs from Tifafleh near Las Anod airport in the south, to Xudun towards the north.
Its namesake refers to a locality a few miles westwards midway through the road, which is notable for being the deadliest confrontation between the Darwiishes and the British army.
Several of the most senior Darwiish figures died at the site, including Xayd Aaden Gallaydh, three of the sons of Beynax Aaden-Gallaydh, Xirsiwaal Maxamuud Cashuur, and four of the sons of Muuse Taagane.
Xudin (or Hudin) was itself briefly the headquarters of the haroun (Darawiish government) in the aftermath of Jidbali, whereupon they later fled to Halin, whilst the nearby hills of Bur Anod had previously been an outpost with small blockhouse fortifications.
During the Illig Agreement, the road between Tifafleh and Xudun (Hudin) was regarded as the western border for the grazing of Darawiish livestock.
Randall was born in Birmingham on April 3rd, 1945, to the novelist Inez Pearn (who published under her pen name, Elizabeth Lake) and the poet and sociologist Charles Madge, co-founder of Mass Observation and later Professor of Sociology at the University of Birmingham.
She studied at King Edward’s School in Birmingham and won a scholarship to Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, to study English, but decided to go to Cambridge instead to study history at Newnham College.
She completed her Masters degree in Russian and Soviet Politics at the London School of Economics in 1968, staying on to complete a Ph.D. on decision-making in local government.
While researching her Ph.D. she taught at the Polytechnic of Central London (later to become the University of Westminster) and subsequently at the University of Essex, where she became Professor of Politics.
Following her formal retirement in 2010, she became the Emeritus Professor in the Department of Government at the University of Essex.

Once one of the town's most prestigious exports, and nationally famous, the production of the cheese went into decline by the 18th century, and was eventually forgotten.
Banbury cheeses first appear in the historical record in 1430, when fourteen were sent to John of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Bedford, among supplies for France.
It was given as a gift to several significant figures, including Thomas Cromwell (1533 and 1538), Sir Joseph Williamson (1677), and Horace Walpole (1768).
Banbury ale enjoyed a high of popularity in the middle ages, but was virtually unknown outside the town into the 16th century; Banbury cakes maintain popularity today.
The centre of the cheese-making industry in the area was in the Northamptonshire hamlets, Grimsbury and Nethercote, though some producers were found in the town and nearby Oxfordshire hamlets.
The production of Banbury cheese declined into the 18th century; Edward Chamberlayne in 1700, Daniel Defoe in 1727, and Richard Pococke in 1756 were among the last to comment on it.
By 1840, the number of producers of this cheese was diminishing, and in 1848, for the first time, none was offered for sale at the Banbury fair.
Local historian Martin Thomas has speculated that the late-18th-century Inclosure Acts were responsible for the decline in the production of the cheese.
As land was taken from commoners and appropriated by new landlords, the new owners may have preferred the more profitable sheep over cattle, and so the town would begin to lack the products necessary for the cheese's production.
The Historical Society of Banbury attempted to find a cheese-maker to produce the cheese for the November 1969 annual dinner of the Society, but no capable cheese-makers were found, so the enterprise failed.
It was white and one-inch thick—otherwise unremarkable as compared to other soft cheeses—but commanded high prices and was much more delicious.
Defoe reports it cost 1s 6d per pound, new, and about 1s 9d, ripe (£8.90 and £10.40 in modern GBP, according to Thomas).
This insult alludes to the thin proportions of the cheese, especially after its rind was removed, mocking Slender's name and figure.

Mstyslav Chernov (; born 1985) is a Ukrainian photographer, photojournalist, filmmaker, and war correspondent known for his coverage of Ukrainian revolution, War in Donbass, including the downing of flight MH17, Syrian Civil War, Battle of Mosul in Iraq as well as for his diverse photography exhibitions.
Chernov’s materials have been published and aired by multiple news outlets worldwide, including CNN, BBC, The New York Times, Washington Post, and others.
He has both won and been a finalist for prestigious awards, including the Livingston Award, Rory Peck Award and various Royal Television Society awards.
The images of night violence impressed Chernov and triggered a shift from fine-art photography and documentary photography to conflict and war reporting.
In early December 2013, pro-Yanukovich police targeted and attacked members of the press, injuring Chernov's hand with a baton, tearing up his press credentials, and destroying his photography equipment.
In January 2014, ignoring Chernov's insignia that identified him as a member of the press, a pro-Yanukovich policeman deliberately threw a stun grenade into Chernov, injuring his legs and eye with shrapnel.
Many international reporters flocked to cover the Ukrainian Revolution which later transitioned into the annexation of Crimea and War in Donbass.
Chernov's background in photography and his partnership with other reporters allowed him to polish his video filming skills and become a regular freelancer for Associated Press in May 2014.
Russian military intervention to Donbass had created another conflict zone in Ukraine, and Chernov covered War in Donbass in 2014, becoming one of very few journalists who reported the conflict from both sides.
On his third day working as an independent AP journalist, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down in the area, and Chernov provided first images of the incident.
In subsequent years as an AP journalist and war correspondent, Chernov covered the war in Syria and the Battle of Mosul in Iraq as well as the European migrant crisis in Greece, Macedonia, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Austria, and Germany.
Chernov's Iraqi videos were finalist entries for Rory Peck Award in 2017 and for Royal Television Society awards in 2017 and 2018.
Chernov's reports were published worldwide, including being picked up by The Independent, The Seattle Times, Military Times, Navy Times, Washington Examiner, The Epoch Times.
Chernov's photographs were also published in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Guardian, Daily Telegraph, Dailymail, Le Monde, Deutsche Welle, Die Zeit, and others, and his videos were aired on BBC, EuroNews, CNN, Fox News, Sky News, Al Jazeera, and others.
Commenting on his own work, Chernov noted that he doesn't necessarily enjoys war journalism, but feels that he's at the right place, albeit his work might transition at some point to a different kind of photography, for example, to working for National Geographic.

The impeachment trial of Donald Trump, the 45th and incumbent president of the United States, began in the United States Senate on January 16, 2020, and is currently ongoing.
It is a result of the impeachment of President Trump by the U.S. House of Representatives on December 18, 2019, following an inquiry stage that lasted from September to November 2019.
The prosecution team from the House of Representatives, called impeachment managers, requested subpoena authority to introduce testimony from current/former White House officials, and Trump administration documents which were not provided to House investigators, but the request was voted down by Republican senators on January 21.
The prosecution then made its opening arguments between January 22–24, and the defense, a team of attorneys selected by Trump, made its arguments between January 25–28.
On January 31, a Senate majority of 51 Republican senators voted against allowing subpoenas to call witnesses or documents for the trial.
The Senate plans to conclude the trial with a vote on whether to convict the president on February 5, 2020, which requires a two-thirds majority.
The penalty for conviction is the removal from office; a separate vote would be required for disqualification from holding office in the future.
Under the U.S. Constitution, the House has the sole power of impeachment (), and after that action has been taken, the Senate has the sole power to hold the trial for all impeachments ().
After the emergence of Trump's phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, House leadership came to the conclusion that impeachment might be necessary, and began an inquiry.
On October 8, 2019, he led a meeting on the subject, advising the Republican Senators to craft their responses according to their own political needs.
On December 15, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, in a letter to McConnell, called for Mick Mulvaney, Robert Blair, John Bolton and Michael Duffey to testify in the expected Senate trial, and suggested that pre-trial proceedings take place on January 6, 2020.
Two days later, McConnell rejected the call for witnesses to testify, saying that the Senate's job is only to judge, not to investigate.
Schumer quickly replied, citing bipartisan public support for the testimony of witnesses who could fill in gaps caused by Trump preventing his staff from testifying in the House investigation.
On January 7, McConnell announced that he had the caucus backing to pass a blueprint for the trial, which discusses witnesses and evidence after the opening arguments.
Pelosi called for the resolution to be published before she could proceed with the next steps, but McConnell asserted that the House had no leverage and that there would be no negotiating over the trial.
Previously during the impeachment inquiry, the House invited Bolton to testify, but he refused; Bolton's lawyer also stated that Bolton would file a lawsuit if subpoenaed.
Parnas also had information on Vice President Mike Pence, former Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Attorney General William Barr, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican Representative Devin Nunes, Nunes' aide Derek Harvey, journalist John Solomon, pro-Trump lawyers Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing, and the pro-Trump super PAC, America First.
The Chief Justice is cited in Article I, Section 3, Clause 6 of the United States Constitution as the presiding officer in an impeachment trial of the President.
As such, Chief Justice John Roberts assumed that role and was sworn in by Senate President pro tempore Chuck Grassley on January 16, 2020.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm, as the case may be) that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of Donald John Trump, President of the United States, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws; [So help me God].
As in all parliamentary proceedings in the Senate, Justice Roberts is advised on procedural matters by Elizabeth MacDonough, Parliamentarian of the United States Senate.
The White House has formally announced its Senate trial counsel as being led by White House Counsel Pat Cipollone and Jay Sekulow, alongside Ken Starr, Alan Dershowitz, Pam Bondi, Jane Raskin, Eric Herschmann, and Robert Ray.
On January 20, the White House named eight House Republicans to serve on Trump's defense team: Doug Collins, Mike Johnson, Jim Jordan, Debbie Lesko, Mark Meadows, John Ratcliffe, Elise Stefanik, and Lee Zeldin.
Speaker Pelosi signed the articles of impeachment on January 15 and gave them to the sergeant-at-arms, who along with House Clerk Cheryl Johnson, and the managers, delivered them to the Senate where Johnson entered the chamber and announced to Grassley and the Senate leadership that President Trump had indeed been impeached and must stand trial.
Some Republicans criticized Pelosi for giving congressmen the pens used to sign the articles of impeachment, which have her name printed on them.
For this trial, the Senate President pro tempore swears in the chamber's presiding officer, the Chief Justice of the United States, who then swore in all senators who will act as jurors.
I solemnly swear (or affirm, as the case may be) that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of Donald John Trump, President of the United States, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws: So help me God.
On January 18, 2020, the House trial managers released a 111-page trial memorandum, which included new evidence from after Trump was impeached, such as the Government Accountability Office's conclusion that it was illegal for the Trump administration to have withheld military aid to Ukraine without informing Congress – a violation of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
The memorandum asserted the impeachment was illegitimate and the president should be immediately acquitted because he was not accused of violating any specific law and that abuse of power is not in itself an impeachable offense.
This reasoning has been roundly rejected by legal scholars, and contradicts a 2018 statement by Trump's attorney general Bill Barr, who before taking office wrote a memo to Trump's Justice Department and legal team advising that abuse of power is an impeachable offense.
The resolution provided the White House counsel and House impeachment managers 24 hours each over two days to make opening statements, beginning at 1:00 p.m. each day.
Opening statements will be followed by 16 hours of questions and answers, followed by four hours of debate and a vote on whether to consider witnesses or new information.
The next day, McConnell amended his resolution to automatically include the House inquiry evidence unless a simple majority vote prohibited it.
The White House and its Senate allies were confident they could garner the simple majority needed to prevent calling witnesses, though they worked on a fallback plan if Bolton was compelled to testify by asserting national security concerns to move his testimony to a closed-door session.
On January 21, Schumer and the House managers introduced 11 amendments to McConnell's resolution, which sought to subpoena testimony from current and former White House officials (Mick Mulvaney, John Bolton, Robert Blair, and Michael Duffey) and also subpoena White House, State Department, and Office of Management and Budget documents.
With the exception of a single amendment to extend the amount of time permitted to file motions, which was supported by Republican senator Susan Collins, the amendments were defeated along party lines with a vote of 53 to 47.
Also on January 21, Sekulow drew a parallel between Trump withholding aid to Ukraine and President Obama withholding aid to Egypt in 2013.
In the latter case, Egypt had just experienced a military coup d'etat, which under US law required aid to be withheld.
The White House denied Trump was referring to documents that had been withheld from House impeachment investigators and sought by the Democratic trial managers.
During statements in the Senate chamber regarding trial procedures, Trump attorneys Cipollone and Sekulow made significant false statements that had previously been asserted by Trump supporters but debunked.
Cipollone asserted that Republican House members were not allowed to participate in closed-door hearings, when in fact all Republicans who were members of the three investigating committees were entitled to attend the hearings, and many did and questioned witnesses.
Cipollone also misrepresented the genesis of the president's impeachment, falsely asserting that Schiff proceeded with his investigation despite knowing his allegations were false.
Sekulow asserted that Trump was denied the right to cross-examine witnesses, examine the evidence, or have an attorney present during Judiciary Committee proceedings, though the White House was invited to exercise those rights, but declined, as the president had refused to cooperate in any way with the inquiry.
On January 22, the first day of opening arguments, Democrats presented evidence from House impeachment inquiry testimony, the Trump–Zelensky phone call and Trump's statements.
Schiff started by asserting that Trump needs to be removed from office because he has shown he is ready and willing to cheat in the 2020 elections.
Jason Crow and Hakeem Jeffries discussed the significance of the Trump–Zelensky phone call, and Schiff and Zoe Lofgren detailed how the scheme was exposed to the public.
Lofgren mentioned that Pentagon officials wrote to the Office of Management and Budget warning that freezing aid to Ukraine might be illegal.
Schiff concluded by pointing to the courage of administration officials who risked their careers in testifying and called upon senators to show equal courage.
After the session, Justice Roberts allowed a page of supplementary testimony from an aide of Vice President Mike Pence to be admitted into the record.
He played videos from the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton showing statements by Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and lawyer Alan Dershowitz arguing that impeachment does not necessitate the breaking of a law; Graham absented himself during the showing of the video.
They also played videos of Fiona Hill and FBI director Chris Wray to debunk the notion that Ukraine, rather than Russia, interfered in the 2016 United States presidential election.
Sylvia Garcia and Adam Schiff argued several points to highlight why Trump's activities were inappropriate, including that he was not looking for an actual investigation but only an announcement of one, that the investigations were not official foreign policy and were carried out through unofficial channels, and that the White House first tried to bury the call.
They also pointed out that Vice President Biden pushed out Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin because he was not fighting corruption in Ukraine, and his ouster was backed by international organizations.
Schiff concluded by arguing that Trump cannot be counted on to stand up to the Russians if they interfere in the 2020 presidential election.
Despite strict rules of silence during the trial, Senator Graham chuckled through the presentation about Biden and he whispered to Senators John Barrasso (R-WY) and John Cornyn (R-TX).
At the end of the day, Susan Collins sent a note to Chief Justice Roberts complaining about Nadler's remarks that senators would be complicit in a coverup if they did not allow testimony from additional witness.
Senators Richard Burr (R-NC), Tom Cotton (R-AR), and Pat Toomey (R-PA) played with toys while Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) read a book during the session.
On their final day, Democrats discussed how they expected the Trump defense might respond and asked the Senate to call witnesses.
He contrasted Trump's complete stonewalling of any witness or documents with the cooperation other presidents have offered during investigations, including Ronald Reagan during the Iran–Contra affair.
Schiff rebuffed Republican arguments that House Democrats should have subpoenaed witness by pointing out that the process would probably have dragged out in the courts for months.
Some Republicans remarked that the Democrats' presentations were repetitive, though Democratic senator Tim Kaine indicated this was intentional as many senators and the public had not closely followed the impeachment inquiry.
Lindsey Graham stated his opposition to subpoenaing either Biden even if other witnesses are called, because he does not want the trial to interfere with the 2020 presidential election; but stated his support of a separate investigation.
The primary arguments were a lack of direct evidence of wrongdoing, and that Democrats were attempting to use the impeachment to steal the 2020 election.
Sekulow cited the conspiracy theory that Ukraine had interfered in the 2016 election, suggesting that this gave Trump a basis to investigate corruption in Ukraine.
Deputy White House counsel Michael Purpura presented video from the impeachment inquiry of three envoys to Ukraine testifying that the first time they had become aware Ukraine had expressed concern about the aid being withheld was in August 2019, suggesting that Ukraine was unaware of the hold at the time of the Trump–Zelensky phone call.
Purpura did not present the testimony of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Laura Cooper, who testified that her office received emails about the hold from Ukrainian officials on July 25, the day of the call.
Cipollone previously stated he never attended Ukraine-related meetings, and Mulvaney said he avoided Trump-Giuliani meetings so as to not jeopardize their attorney-client privilege.
She repeated allegations that Joe Biden had sought the removal of Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Shokin, who was ostensibly investigating the firm that employed Hunter Biden, though this action was in agreement with the foreign policy of the United States and other Western governments towards Ukraine at the time.
Trump counsel Eric Herschmann asked why Hunter Biden was hired and paid so much by Burisma despite having no experience in the energy sector or Ukraine, then played a video of him explaining that he was employed to head the corporate governance and transparency committee on the Burisma board.
He also played a video from a 2012 presidential debate in which Obama mocked his opponent Mitt Romney for stating that Russia was America's top geopolitical opponent.
Senators James Lankford (R-OK) and Lindsay Graham proposed that Bolton's book should be reviewed in a classified setting; some argue that this would be illegal.
Senators had to write questions on a sheet of paper addressing the defense, prosecution team or both, which Justice Roberts read out loud for the relevant team to answer.
The first day contained questions of both procedural and evidentiary topics, as well as questions Roberts declined to allow, such as one speculating about the identity of the whistleblower.
The first question was from Senators Susan Collins (R-ME), Mitt Romney (R-UT), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) who asked whether Trump's conduct toward Ukraine would be impeachable if he was acting out of both public and personal motives.
Schiff said that Bolton could clear up doubts about Trump's motives, while Philbin threatened that any attempt to get Bolton to testify would tie up the proceedings for months.
Democratic House manager Jason Crow said that information was unknown but could be easily obtained with subpoenas for documents and witnesses, including Bolton.
Murkowski later joined Lamar Alexander in asking defense lawyers if withholding aid to Ukraine was impeachable; the lawyers said it is not.
Senator John Thune (R-SD) conceded that Trump did what he was charged with, but said that witnesses were not necessary and the actions were not impeachable.
Schiff pointed out that during a January 30 federal court hearing about the White House's refusal to honor congressional subpoenas, Judge Randolph Moss asked Justice Department attorney James Burnham what remedies Congress might have in such a case, since Burnham was arguing that the dispute could not be settled by the courts.
Burnham cited impeachment as a possibilitycontradicting the arguments made by Trump's attorneys that obstruction of Congress is not an impeachable offense.
51 Republican senators voted against calling witnesses, while 45 Democratic senators, two independents who typically vote Democratic, and two Republicans (Mitt Romney and Susan Collins) voted for witnesses.
The night after the vote, the Justice Department and a lawyer for the Office of Management and Budget acknowledged that two dozen emails which remain undisclosed due to executive privilege contain details about why military aid to Ukraine was frozen.
On February 5, the Senate plans to vote on whether or not to convict the president on the charges and evidence as they have been presented and debated upon.
Under Article I, Section 3, Clause 6 of the U.S. Constitution, a two-thirds majority of the Senate (in this case, 67 if all members are present) is required to convict the president.
The penalty for conviction is the removal from office; a separate vote, by simple majority, would be required for disqualification from holding office in the future.
At least 20 Republican senators would need to vote with all Democratic (and two independent) senators to convict Trump for either outcome to take place.
Americans remain sharply divided on whether Trump should be removed from office, with Democrats largely supporting removal, Republicans largely opposing, and independents divided.
A CNN poll conducted on January 16–19, 2020, the first major one after the impeachment trial began, found that 51% of people – 89% of Democrats and 8% of Republicans – supported Trump's removal from office, compared to 45% who opposed the idea.
A Quinnipiac University poll released on January 28 shows that 75% of those polled support calling witnesses; 49% of Republicans, 95% of Democrats, and 75% of independents.
A Pew Research Center poll shows that 51% of Americans believe Trump should be removed from office and 70% believe he has done unethical things.
During the trial on January 24, Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) tweeted her disdain for National Security Advisor Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, questioning his patriotism.
On January 27, former vice president Joe Biden pushed for witnesses but said he would not testify because he had nothing to defend.
The following day, Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) said that she believed the trial would hurt Biden in the Iowa caucuses on February 3.
Benen notes that Kelly attributes Bolton with honesty, integrity, and character, but fails to apply the same terms to the president.
House Speaker Pelosi said on January 30 that Trump's lawyers had trampled on the Constitution with their arguments that the president could not be impeached for using his office for political gain, and she suggested they should be disbarred.
As built, she had measured 192,679 gross tons and 406,640 deadweight tons, with a length of and a beam of .
She was moored about off of the coast of Yemen in 1988 under the ownership of the Yemeni government via the national oil company, which used her to store and export oil from inland oil fields around Ma'rib.
In the following years, her structural condition deteriorated significantly, leading to the risk of a catastrophic hull breach or explosion of oil vapors that would typically be suppressed by inert gas generated onboard.
The ship is estimated to contain about 1.14 million barrels of oil valued at up US$80 million, which became a point of contention in negotiations between the Houthi rebels and Yemeni government, both of which asserted claims to the cargo and vessel.
Forestry is the main economic activity in the sector; recreational tourism activities are incidental considering the geographic remoteness and lack of access roads.
The surface of the Péribonka East River is usually frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March.
The Péribonka Est river takes its source at the mouth of the Agoseris lake (length: ; altitude: ) in the municipality of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James.
From the mouth of the Péribonka East river, the current descends the course of the Péribonka river on to the South, crosses Lac Saint-Jean on towards the East, then follows on the course of the Saguenay River towards the East up to the height of Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence River.

March of the Preobrazhensky was often used in modern Russia, particularly in the annual Victory Day Parade for the trooping of the colours (Flag of Russia and Banner of Victory), notably at the 2005 Victory Day Parade.
It is not believed to have been officially used in the Soviet Union much, but it was played by Soviet military bands in concerts and, infrequently, during the inspection segment of parades.
Before World War I, the work was used as the presentation march (Prasentiermarsch) in several military formations in Prussia Since 1964 is used as the slow march of the Royal Marines in the arrangement of Francis Vivian Dunn.

This will be the eighth consecutive season (a record ninth overall) to be filmed in Fiji, the thirteenth season to feature returning players, and the fifth season to feature only returning players.
Probst stated that having a season of returning winners and a larger prize came from CBS president Kelly Kahl who had been a proponent for the show at the network from near its start.
The returning survivors were not told of the larger prize until Probst met them on the beach at the start of filming.
In a 2018 interview, Probst had explained that such an all-winners season was unlikely, as not all the winners were compelling people to bring back to the show, while some others, including did want to spend another month-long period of survival for the prize money.
Probst estimated that he had about ten winners that were appropriate to invite back and who were willing, but not enough for a full number of players.
Probst first contacted the winners he felt were key standouts in terms of memorable winners on returning, Parvati Shallow, Rob Mariano, Amber Mariano, and Yul Kwon, and was encouraged they were all willing to come back for this type of season.
The show's typical payouts were higher for this season: each returning winner was assured a minimum payment for participating in the season, as well as the standard for participation in the finale.
All but two of the challenges during the season were based on previous challenges that at least one of the winners had participated in.
This was added as to assure all returning players a possible second chance to get back into the game, a concern that had been raised by some when Probst spoke to them about returning.
Probst said that in trying to make this season memorable, they had come up with the idea of fire tokens to emphasize that the game is about creating a society, and these tokens could help in establishing that society.
Each player starts the game with one token, and when eliminated by tribal vote and sent to the Edge of Extinction, they must give their tokens up to any player remaining in the game.
Tribes (prior to the merge) and players (after the merge) can collectively use their tokens to buy reward items, which can include an advantage in the next elimination challenge.
Players on the Edge of Extinction are able to secretly make deals with players still in the game to sell them advantages located only at the Edge of Extinction for their tokens; those players can then use the tokens at the Edge of Extinction to gain advantages for the challenge that brings one player back into the game.

The Cummins Westport L9N is a natural gas engine able to be set up to use either a CNG or LPG.
A set forward axle, with the tires immediately behind a straight bumper, is used when overall length is limited or when wheelbase has to be as long as possible for bridge-formula laws.
Set back axles, where the hood extends in front of the axle, are used when maneuverability is more important than length or weight distribution.
Mack powered axles have the drive carrier on top of the housing instead of the front of it like other manufacturers.
This lets the driveshafts be in line from the transmission to and between the axles at a higher level above the ground.
With the higher level above the ground the driveshafts and u-joints are less prone to dirt and damage, important in on/off road construction.
The Twin Y air suspension has trailing arms that fork to the rear and attach to both the top and bottom of the axle.

Andrew Murray, Jr. became the minister of Bloemfontein in 1848 and started visiting Potchefstroom regularly as a consulent that year, preaching at the site on his third visit.
Andrew Murray was to ordain him, but this was postponed and avoided when the church council decided in November of that year to separate from the Cape Church and found separate Transvaal denomination, the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa (NHK).
The first official pastor of the Potchefstroom NGK, however, was proponent J.P. Jooste, appointed in 1868 and serving until 1881, during which time a new church was built to replace the old NHK one.

Gates of Tears: the Holocaust in the Lublin District is the first comprehensive study of the Holocaust in the Lublin District of Poland.
Only the gates of tears have not been locked before us, and we are able and entitled to bemoan the destruction of our nation, to eulogize the rupture in our destroyed people, and to lead the river of our tears with us to the grave.
Although some 250-300,000 Jews lived in the Lublin District prior to the war, there was a lack of scholarship on the region.
Unlike other historians who had written on the subject, such as Bogdan Musiał, , and Christopher Browning, Silberklang makes extensive use of Jewish sources in Yiddish and Hebrew.
Nine chapters, thematically organized, discuss such issues as the Nisko Plan, German administration, forced labor, and deportations to the extermination camps.
The book only touches on interactions between Jews and non-Jewish Poles, but with the implication that little help was to be expected from the latter.
Although knowledge of the purpose of Bełżec extermination camp was widespread, Jews were not able to use this knowledge to save their lives.
Even when Jewish partisans stormed the labor camp at Janiszów and urged the 600 Jewish prisoners to escape, most of the Jews (both partisans and former prisoners) soon perished following roundups, in which local Poles participated.
Silberklang argues (contrary to Raul Hilberg) that Ostindustrie was turning a profit off of Jewish slave labor, and that labor camps had the best chance to survive (especially after Operation Harvest Festival in November 1943) if they were profitable for local German administrators and did not attract the attention of higher authorities.
Extermination was sudden and brutal—of 300,000 Jews alive in the area at the beginning of 1942, only 20,000 were alive a year later—while survival was random, unlikely, and determined by factors that were outside of the control of Jewish victims.
He also criticizes the tendency to generalize from the well-studied example of the Warsaw Ghetto (also the Łódź Ghetto) to the Holocaust in Poland as a whole.
A review by Andrea Löw in , stated that the book is the first comprehensive study of the Holocaust in the Lublin District.
The book was a finalist in both the Jewish Book Council awards and the Yad Vashem International Book Prize for Holocaust Research.

It underwent significant restoration and expansion under the Almohad caliph Muhammad al-Nasir (ruled 1199-1213), who, among other things, diverted a new source of water to it from a source 9 kilometres south of the city.
From the Almohad period the mosque also preserves a large and ornate copper chandelier similar in style to the great Almohad chandelier in the al-Qarawiyyin Mosque in Fes.
Abu el-Hassan also added a library to the mosque and arranged for a number of Islamic scholars to teach at the mosque.
It is made up of a vast interior prayer hall whose main area (south of the courtyard) is divided into nine aisles by rows of arches running parallel to the southern/southeastern wall (i.e.
From the courtyard the prayer hall can be entered through any of the surrounding arches, but the middle arch on the southern side of the courtyard, opposite the mosque entrance and corresponding to the archway of the central nave leading towards the mihrab, is surrounded by rich carved and painted stucco decoration.
The exterior of the mosque is largely obscured by the surrounding buildings and the dense urban fabric of the old city.
The mosque has 11 gates, and one of the main entrances to the west is framed by rich stucco decoration and a canopy of sculpted and painted wood.
From above, the mosque is distinguished by its rows of sloped green-tiled roofs, as well as by its large and prominent minaret.
Like other Moroccan minarets it has a long square shaft which is crowned by stylized merlons and topped by a much smaller and shorter tower, which in turn is topped by an iron finial holding up four golden copper balls.
The four facades of the minaret are covered in a surface of gleaming green faience tiles, which are a distinctive trait of minarets in Meknes.
It is believed to have been painted in 1879–80, several years after Cézanne's residence in Auvers-sur-Oise, a small village northwest of Paris.
It was inherited by Cassirer's daughter Sophie, and after her death in 1979 it was accepted in lieu of inheritance tax and allocated to the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford University.
Shortly after midnight on New Year's Day 2000, guards at the Ashmolean, responding to a fire alarm, discovered the painting was missing.
Police believe the thief or thieves used a smoke bomb and that night's millennium celebrations as a cover for the theft of the museum's only Cézanne and the only painting taken.
The oil on canvas painting depicts a rolling landscape below a blue sky filled with clouds, represented as smears of paint.
Down a green slope from the viewer are a group of houses, white with roofs either blue or orange, again not depicted in detail.
Camille Pissaro, whom Cézanne came to see as both friend and mentor, moved to Pontoise, a small country town northwest of Paris, in 1872 after his previous country residence in Louveciennes, west of Paris, was stripped of all its contents while he was in Paris during the Franco-Prussian War two years earlier.
Cézanne's style, especially in his landscapes, reflected the influence of his fellow artist, even as the two preferred different techniques—Pissaro dabbing while Cézanne daubed or smeared, according to a local resident who watched them both paint.
By this time, Cézanne was preparing to leave Paris and return to his native Aix-en-Provence, where he continued painting in this style, including similar landscapes, moving toward Post-Impressionism.
Ashmolean Museum director Christopher Brown describes the painting as important to understanding the artist's career, showing him transitioning from his early work to the mature style he brought to well-known later works.
Bruno's daughter Sophie inherited it after his death in 1941, by which time the family had moved to Oxford following Nazi persecution.
Upon the deaths of her husband Richard Rudolf Walzer in 1975, followed by her own four years later, the estate incurred a large inheritance tax bill.
Police believe that at that time, someone used the distraction and noise to prevent anyone from noticing that they were climbing scaffolding around an extension to the museum's library that was under construction.
Once they reached the roof, they broke a skylight over the museum's Hindley Smith Gallery and dropped a small smoke bomb in.
Once there they used the fan to blow the smoke around so neither the museum's security guards, should they come into the gallery, nor its CCTV cameras would be able to get a good view of their faces.
Alarms had been set off during the burglary, but security at the museum assumed from the smoke that there had been a fire.
When police and firefighters reached the museum at 1:43am, they went into the Smith Gallery and found the smoke had dissipated, with no signs of a fire.
Instead what was left of the smoke bomb was on the floor, and a flashing light on the wall alerted them to the absence of the Cézanne painting next to it.
This led them to theorise that the burglary had specifically targeted the painting, the only work by Cézanne in the Ashmolean.
There had been other thefts and attempted thefts of art from the museum and other Oxford facilities in the late 1990s.
A pair of 17th-century French bottles were taken in 1996, and the following year three thieves were caught after they broke open a glass display case to take a jewel made for Alfred the Great.
In January 2014, the Ashmolean made up for the painting's absence by becoming the first European museum to host an exhibit of Impressionist works from the Henry and Rose Pearlman Collection at the Princeton University Art Museum.
Museum staff recalled the theft as a low point in the museum's recent history that made them more elated to host the Pearlman exhibit.
Accordingly they had called in specialists in art theft; customs officers at airports and harbours had been alerted in case anyone tried to take the painting out of Britain, although police believed that it was more likely in the possession of some domestic collector.
Later in January they believed they were on the verge of recovering it after receiving a tip that it had been seen in a West Midlands pub.
When they went there to investigate, it turned out to be a copy, its paint still wet, being painted by the landlord.
Historically it is believed that Gaji Shah was saintly general of Kalhora Dynasty and he was appointed here by Mian Naseer Muhammad Kalhoro to defend and face the attacks at leading passes to Sindh in Kirthar Mountains area.
The most ancient archaeological site of Ghazi Shah Mound explored by N. G. Majumdar was named after Syed Gaji Shah which is closest to his shrine.

Mary-Elizabeth Hamstrom (May 24, 1927 – December 2, 2009) was an American mathematician known for her contributions to topology, and particularly to point-set topology and the theory of homeomorphism groups of manifolds.
She did her undergraduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania, where Moore had taught many years previously, and completed her bachelor's degree there in mathematics in 1948, after having worked there as an assistant to John Robert Kline, who had been another of Moore's students at the University of Pennsylvania before becoming a faculty member there himself.
A letter from Moore to Hamstrom, while she was still a senior at the University of Pennsylvania, describes the Moore method of teaching mathematics and expresses Moore's regret that she had already begun study in her intended specialty; Moore preferred to begin with a clean slate.
On completing her doctorate, Hamstrom became a faculty member at Goucher College, then a women's college, and she earned tenure there in 1957 after a year at the Institute for Advanced Study.
While visiting the Institute, she was encouraged to move to the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign by Paul T. Bateman, who was a professor there and was also visiting the Institute at the same time.
Five years later, when the university promoted her to full professor, she became only one of four women with that rank in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
She was born in Ann Arbor on 26 May 1894, the daughter of Jed F. Wooley and his wife Agnes Forsyth: she had eight brothers.
from the University of Utah, and in 1922 she married Cyril Ray Burt, with whom she had a son and two daughters.
She did extensive research on murder ballads and their associated narratives, with fieldwork collecting of unpublished material and a letter to each state historical society.
The exact dating of Akhethetep is uncertain, but he might belong to the end of the 5th or to the beginning of the 6th Dynasty.

Henri Leridon, born on July 15, 1942 in Algiers, where his father was an officer, is a French demographer and director of research emeritus at the Institut national d'études démographiques (Ined).
He joined Ined as a project manager in 1965, obtained a diploma as a demographer from the Institute of Demography of the University of Paris (in 1966) and a diploma of higher education in economics (University of Caen, 1967).
In 1974-75 he was a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), and from 2001 to 2006 he headed a unit of Epidemiology, Demography and Social Sciences (U569) at Inserm, a mixed unit with Ined and Paris XII University.
In 1994 he was elected Correspondent of the French Academy of sciences (Institut de France) and in 2014 Foreign Member of the British Academy.
He has also devoted himself to the analysis of the fertility of human populations: his research is in line with that of the French demographer and historian Louis Henry, and has focused on the various components of fertility: fertility, intrauterine mortality, postpartum sterility and definitive sterility.
This model has also made it possible to determine the real effectiveness of assisted human reproduction practices, both individually and collectively.
In 2002, it launched the idea of a large national cohort of children, aimed at monitoring a representative national sample of children from birth to adulthood, to study all aspects of their development in a multidisciplinary approach combining social sciences, health and environmental determinants.
The Elfe cohort was formed in 2011, with 18,500 children born throughout the metropolitan area, and is still followed by a team based at Ined and involving some 40 research teams.
The first holder of the chair was Laurence Dreyfus, who had been Professor of Performance Studies in Music at King's College since 1992; his chair was titled the Thurston Dart Professorship in Performance Studies in Music.
The National Government-Bangsamoro Government Intergovernmental Relations Body, or simply known as the Intergovernmental Relations Body (IGRB) is a intergovernmental body which deals with the relations of Bangsamoro regional government and the Philippines national government.
The Bangsamoro Organic Law, the basis legislation of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM or Bangsamoro) mandates the creation of Intergovernmental Relation (IGR) bodies that would manage the autonomous region's relations with the central Philippine government.
The concept of the National Government-Bangsamoro Government Intergovernmental Relations Body (IGRB) was made during the negotiations for the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and Philippine national government.
The body was envisioned as a platform for discussion and dispute resolution for intergovernmental issues between the then-proposed Bangsamoro autonomous region and the national government.
The BARMM was established in early 2019 after the BOL was ratified in a two-part plebiscite replacing the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
On July 2019, Bangsamoro Chief Minister Murad Ebrahim met with President Rodrigo Duterte with the two agreeing to form an intergovernmental body for cooperation of the Bangsamoro regional government and the national government.
The few months prior to the IGRB's creation caused confusion regarding the relation of the national government's executive departments and the Bangsamoro region's government.
The Bangsamoro Parliament also raised concern over the memorandum issued by Eduardo Año of the national government's Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) regarding the usage of mobile phones by local executives.
The document was interpreted to have lumped the Bangsamoro Chief Minister with the same level as the Bangsamoro Local Government Minister and provincial governors and mayors.
It was unclear whether a secretary of an national executive body could issue a memorandum addressed to the Chief Minister of Bangsamoro.
The National Government-Bangsamoro Government IGRB is an intergovernmental body which provides an institutional mechanism for sustained cooperation and coordination between the agencies established by the BARMM and those of the Philippine National Government.
The competition is ranked as the fourth tier of the Romanian football league system and it is competed between 16 teams, the winner may or may not be promoted to Liga III, depending of the result of a promotion play-off that is disputed against a winner of the neighboring counties series.
In 1968, along with the territorial reorganization of the country, but also due to the large number of requests, the Romanian Football Federation proposes a competitive system in which each county has its own football championship, which will activate the former teams in the regional championship as well as the racing and town championship teams from the previous edition.
They made a poor start to the season, failing to win any of their first eleven League matches, and were bottom of the table at Christmas after losing at home to Stoke City.
However, they rallied in the second half of the season and a draw with Liverpool in their last fixture left them in 18th place, just one point ahead of relegated Southampton.
West Ham had been within two minutes of defeat at home, before a solo goal by Pat Holland took the tie to a replay at Edgar Street, where Hereford came from behind to win 2–1.
West Ham's captain Bobby Moore, who had been dropped the previous autumn, played his last match for the first team in the first FA Cup match against Hereford before moving to Fulham.

The Gao clan ruled Yao'an for more than 700 years, surviving several dynastic changes in China, until its last ruler Gao Houde was arrested by Qing Chinese in 1725.
He is a lecturer in social research methodology at the and a senior fellow in China studies at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.
In 2019, Zenz studied the mass detention of Uyghurs in re-education camps in Xinjiang based on Chinese government documents and spreadsheets pointing toward factories with interned workers from the concentration camps.
In July 2019, Zenz published a study giving a speculative upper limit to the number of people detained in Xinjiang re-education camps at 1.5 million.
In December 2019, The Grayzone claimed that Zenz's July 2019 study on the number of detainees was based on a single report from a pro-Xinjiang separatist television channel.

Alain Werner (born 19 November 1972) is a Swiss human rights lawyer, specialized in the defence of victims of armed conflicts, founder and director of Civitas Maxima (CM), an international network of lawyers and investigators based in Geneva that since 2012 represents victims of mass crimes in their attempts to obtain justice.
Werner worked in Freetown and in the Hague for five years (2003–2008) for the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) of the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) prosecuting the rebels of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) and former Liberian President Charles Taylor.
Since 1998 he also worked for Chadian victims of the former Chadian President Hissène Habré  and was the one of civil parties lawyers representing them in Habré’s trial in Dakar (2015–2017) at the Extraordinary African Chambers.
Werner began studying law in Geneva under Professor Robert Roth (later Presiding Judge of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon) from 1993 to 1996 just as the discipline of international criminal law was emerging.
He went on to complete his masters at Columbia University, after which he was accepted on a Swiss government program to work on international projects.
The program took him to the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) in Freetown, Sierra Leone, where he became a Trial Attorney for the OTP of the SCSL in the team prosecuting three RUF commanders following the end of the conflict in 2002.
In 2006, former Liberian president Charles Taylor was arrested while in exile in Nigeria and handed over to the SCSL, which had previously indicted him.
Werner joined the SCSL prosecution team led by Brenda Hollis and Nicholas Koumjian, gathering witness statements and other evidence, and appearing in Court.
Between 2008 and 2017, alongside other projects, Werner worked for Reed Brody of Human Rights Watch on the case of the former President of Chad, Hissène Habré, and represented some of the victims for the two-year trial before the Extraordinary African Chambers in Dakar from 2015 to 2017.
At Aegis he worked with Hassan Bility, a prominent Liberian journalist who had been arrested and tortured under the Taylor regime.
At that point, Werner decided to set out on his own network and, in September 2012, he founded Civitas Maxima, an organisation that focuses on the meticulous documentation of mass crimes, and pursue of justice on behalf of the victims.
Since its establishment in 2012, Civitas Maxima, working with its partners ( Global Justice and Research Project in Liberia and Center for Accountability and the Rule of Law in Sierra Leone) has built cases and contributed to the arrest of several individuals suspected of involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity, collaborating with several different war crimes units, agents and/or prosecutors in Europe and the United States.
Martina Johnson, a former commander of the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NFPL, group headed by Charles Taylor), was arrested and indicted in 2014 for her implication in mutilations and mass killing committed in Liberia during the First Liberian Civil War.
In 2014, Alieu Kosiah was arrested for suspected involvement in war crimes committed by the United Liberation Movement of Liberia for Democracy (ULIMO) while fighting the NPFL between 1993 and 1995.
In November 2019, the Swiss Federal Criminal Court listed the criminal case against Alieu Kosiah for trial in Bellinzona for April 2020 (14 to 30).
In 2015, Michel Desaedeleer, an American and Belgian citizen, was arrested indicted for enslavement, and pillage of blood diamonds in Sierra Leone.
In 2016, Mohammed Jabbateh (aka Jungle Jabbah) was arrested, indicted and charged by the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania with two counts of fraud in immigration documents in violation of the 18 U.S.C.
In 2017, Agnes Reeves Taylor, ex-wife of Charles Taylor, was arrested by the Metropolitan Police and charged with torture on grounds of her suspected involvement with the NFPL during the First Liberian Civil War.
On December 6 2019, the Central Criminal Court in London decided that Agnes Taylor will not face trial in the UK.
In 2018, Kunti K was arrested for his alleged involvement in crimes against humanity committed during the First Liberian Civil War (1989-1996) while acting as a commander for the United Liberation Movement of Liberia for Democracy (ULIMO).
In 2018, the trial of Jucontee Thomas Woewiyu took place at the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania at the James A. Byrne United States Courthouse.
Woewiyu— co-founder, and for several years defense minister of Charles Taylor’s infamous National Patriotic Front of Liberia—became one of the few Liberian leaders to be arrested in the United States and charged with multiple counts of immigration fraud and perjury.
After a trial in June 2018, featuring testimony from Liberian victims about the NPFL’s crimes, he was convicted and found guilty on eleven counts of immigration-related perjury and fraud related to lying about his violent past.

Henri Rochefort is a French biochemical doctor, born on November 20, 1935 in Paris, who studied the influence of various hormones and their antagonists on breast and ovarian cancers.
After secondary studies in Paris (lycée Carnot) where he became a laureate of the Concours Général des lycées en Sciences Naturelles, he followed a university education with a doctorate in medicine in 1968, a licence ès sciences in 1965, a doctorat ès sciences 3e cycle endocrinologie- in 1966, then a doctorat ès sciences in 1972.
He was a medical intern in the Paris hospitals in the 1961 competition in clinical endocrinology departments and trained in research as an associate and then as a research fellow in Étienne-Émile Baulieu's Inserm Unit from 1964 to 1970.
He was recruited at the Faculty of Medicine of Montpellier as Associate Professor, Hospital Biologist in 1970, then Professor of Biochemistry in 1981, then as Professor of Cell Biology from 1984 to 2004, and finally Professor Emeritus since 2005.
At the hospital as a Hospital Biologist, (1970-2001) he developed assays for steroid hormones, hormone receptors and prognostic and predictive tissue markers for response to targeted therapies in breast cancer.
Henri Rochefort's scientific work has focused on the influence of sex steroid hormones and their antagonists in breast and ovarian cancer.
As early as 1972, Henri Rochefort showed that antiestrogens inhibit tumor growth via ERs, which then facilitated their routine use in the treatment of positive ER breast cancers.
Discovery of a metabolite with a high affinity for RE, 4-hydroxytamoxifen, which is produced in vivo and accumulated in RE positive cancers.
A mutation of the enzyme activating tamoxifen by hydroxylation is responsible for some innate tamoxifen resistance in patients treated for breast cancer.
RU 486, a progesterone antagonist, inhibits the growth of breast cancer via the progesterone receptor, suggesting the value of anti-progestins for the treatment of antiestrogen-resistant breast cancers expressing this receptor.
By specifying the mechanism of estrogen mitogenic action in breast cancer lines, Henri Rochefort and his team discovered cathepsin D (cathe D) as an actor in tumor progression.
(17-33) As early as 1980, H. Rochefort with F Vignon introduced the notion of autocrine regulation by mitogenic factors secreted and induced by estrogens .
He focused the activity of his research unit on a 52 kilo-dalton glycoprotein, induced by estrogens and growth factors; secreted in excess by breast cancer cells and endowed with autocrine mitogenic activity .
With monoclonal antibodies, developed with Sanofi, an assay of 52 K protein in breast cancer extracts in several retrospective double-blind studies showed in a totally unexpected way that high concentrations of this protein in the primary tumor predicted the subsequent development of clinical metastases (an example of serendipity) .
The 52k protein was then identified as the precursor of cathepsin D (cathept D) a lysosomal protease diverted into the extracellular matrix .
Henri Rochefort has clarified the mechanism of its transcriptional regulation by estrogens and its deregulation in breast cancers leading to its secretion .
Pro cath D acts, depending on the pH of the extracellular tumor medium, as a protease or as the ligand of a membrane receptor to facilitate the survival and growth of micro-metastases that have escaped from the tumor before its removal.
After confirmation in many Centres around the world, Cathedral D has become the first example of a protease, the measurement of which in the primary tumor has a prognostic value .
Conversely, the inhibition of its production by transfection of anti-sense RNA into breast cancer cells inhibits their growth and metastatic power in these mice.
(29-32) Thus, cath D is a potential therapeutic target for breast cancers, mainly triple-negative cancers as well as other solid tumors that overexpress it, such as colorectal cancer and melanoma .
Other novel pathways have been opened, such as transcriptional interference between RE and transcriptional factors (AP1), and variations in tissue expression by immunohistochemistry of ovarian hormone receptors (including estrogen beta receptor) in pre-cancerous breast lesions.
In total, starting from fundamental research on human breast cancer lines and after having prepared original specific molecular probes, H. Rochefort has transferred some of his results to the clinic and contributed internationally to the understanding of the mechanisms of hormonal carcinogenesis and to the therapeutic management of breast and ovarian cancers.
As research was no longer funded in France after retirement, Henri Rochefort reoriented himself towards general topics more directly useful in Public Health by leading several working groups.
Henri Rochefort, also participated in the creation of the Institut de Cancérologie de Montpellier (IRCM) by transferring the Inserm Hormones and Cancer Unit, and is currently a volunteer consultant in this Institute to facilitate transfer research, close to clinical oncologists.
Trevor Briggs (birth registered third ¼ 1948 – death date unknown) was an English professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1960s and 1970s.
number 6, in Bramley's 15-7 victory over Widnes in the 1973 BBC2 Floodlit Trophy Final during the 1973–74 season at Naughton Park, Widnes on Tuesday 18 December 1973.
The Stone Fleet was the colloquial name for the small coastal ships that carried cushed stone construction aggregate ('blue metal') from the port of Kiama and nearby ocean jetties in the Illawarra to Sydney.
Another colloquial name for this trade, the 'Blue Diamond Trade' probably stems from the term 'Black Diamond' used to describe coal, with a similar analogy being applied to 'blue metal', as the quarried and crushed basalt was known colloquially.
There are some intrusions of igneous rocks in the Sydney area, particularly at Prospect Hill and Hornsby, but these isolated outcrops, although later quarried, were insufficient to meet demand.
In the southern part of the Illawarra region, south from Sydney, there are extensive igneous rock formations—mainly basalt—stretching from north of Shellharbour to south of Kiama at Gerringong, and extending right to the coastline.
Around Kiama, the formations—known as the Gerringong Volcanics—are the result of lava flows from the extinct collapsed volcanic vent known as Saddleback Mountain.
It is by far the largest formation of igneous rocks relatively close to Sydney and was well situated to allow transport by sea.
The South Coast railway line did not reach Shellharbour (Dunmore) and Bombo until 1887 and it took until 1893 to reach Kiama; by that time, shipping of 'blue metal' by sea was already well established.
After the railway reached the district, significant amounts of the quarried and crushed stone were sent by rail, and some quarries had their own sidings.
Coastal shipping remained cost-competitive as a means of transport for many years and the coastal shipping trade in 'blue metal' continued until 2011.
Kiama was a port of the 'Stone Trade' from around 1881, when the Pike's Hill quarry opened on the outskirts of the town.
The connection from Blowhole Point to the mainland—previously submerged at high-tide—was raised by adding rock excavated from the basin in 1871.
It was also in 1871 that the first commercial shipment of crushed basalt—waste from the excavation of the basin—was made to Sydney.
It was difficult for sailing ships to enter Kiama, with a following wind, and not collide with the basin walls or other vessels; this problem was partially solved by placing a heavy chain on the seafloor at the harbour entrance, which ships could use to decelerate by dragging an anchor over it.
A narrow gauge (2-foot / 610mm) railway line ran from the quarries to the port, via Terralong Street, from 1914 until 1942, when the quarries at Kiama closed.
The arrival of the railway in 1887 and the aquisition of the quarry by the NSW Government Railways in 1889 made the jetty redundant.
A wooden jetty constructed around 1880 survived until 1957, when it was damaged in bad weather; its remains were demolished in 1958.
In the early 20th Century, 'blue metal' was unloaded at Pyrmont, by gangs of men in a similar way to 'coal lumping'.
Given the density of their cargo, 'Stone Fleet' ships were smaller and had relatively smaller holds than the typical 'sixty-miler' designed to carry coal.
Over the years of the 'Stone Trade', many ships of the Stone Fleet were wrecked, involved in collisions with other ships, or foundered.
Although the rescue of her ten crewmen was difficult, no lives were lost She had escaped serious damage, in 1923, when she ran aground at Doughboy Point five miles north of Cronulla.
Twelve of the fourteen crew lost their lives; the two survivors and the ship's dog making it to shore, but a considerable distance north of the location at which the ship sank.
Remnants of the narrow-gauge railway can be found in Terralong Street, Kiama, outside the Presbyterian Church and the locations of the loading bins at the basin can still be identified.
A Hanson concrete batching plant remains at Blackwattle Bay at the site of the former unloading facility, but is no longer used by ships.
The southern Illawarra has continued to be the main source of construction aggregate and ballast—for Sydney and much of New South Wales—for over 140 years.
Despite Jones's extensive career working with prominent engineers (such as John Rennie, William Jessop and Josiah Clowes) on many waterways, he gained a reputation of unreliability and inability, and was dismissed from a number of projects.
In 1773 he was living at Preston on the Hill, from where he undertook a number of contracts on the Bridgwater Canal.
Despite this, in 1783 he was contracted by the Thames and Severn Canal Company to dig the Sapperton Tunnel at 7 guineas per yard, with a completion date of 1788.
Jones's budget allowed for him to use an early type of railway in the construction, although his financial management led him to fail to pay his workers and he spent various periods in debtors' prison at Bisley, Minchinhampton, and Gloucester.
One spell in jail almost caused Jones to break his contract, which stated that he was not to be absent from the tunnel works for more than 28 days at a time.
He was released on the 27th day, to find that the canal company had enacted a lien on his personal belongings as a means of security.
In retaliation, Jones's son George made a drunken death threat to Samuel Smith, the canal company's owner; this resulted in the son being prohibited from coming within of the canal for five years.
In 1785, after a spell in gaol, Jones wrote to a Samuel Smith stating that of his own volition he would not set foot in the inns near the tunnel's ends at Hailey Wood or Sapperton.
The same year, after Jones disappeared on a three-day drinking binge, the canal proprietors gave him a three-month ultimatum to finish the tunnel or resign.
It is probable that Jones was dismissed during the summer of 1785, after digging just —less than half of the total tunnel length.
They outlined that they had made payments on Jones's behalf totaling £14,355, and that he was indebted to them by almost £2,000.
In August 1791, Jones was engaged on the Rother Navigation near Midhurst; it appears that a number of employees from the Basingstoke Canal—including Jessop and Pinkerton—were also involved in the project.
In 1804–1805 George was employed by John Rennie on the Royal Military Canal; slow progress meant that Rennie lost the contract and he blamed the poor works on his contractors.
By the mid-1830s it appears that the family of engineers firm had ceased to trade; one of the last Jones projects was that of the Devonport Waterworks.
During 2017 he was the Kluge Chair in Countries and Cultures of the North at the U.S. Library of Congress' John W. Kluge Center.
In 2012, Casanova was awarded the Theology Prize from the Salzburger Hochschulwochen in recognition of his life-long achievement in the field of theology.
However, he said that the song is not a slight on his ex-wife, as his co-write Pahanish came up with the title of the song and he used the line for the song.
Hoot performed the song in the finale of The Voice, and his performance was well-received by the coaches on the show.
The Pedregal rock art site is located in the most northwest corner of Costa Rica and lies only 20 km away from the Nicaraguan border.
The whole Pedregal archaeological zone forms part of the Guanacaste Conservation Area (GCA) and has been declared an UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 1999.
The first scientific report on its rock art monuments dates from 1989 (Chavez Jiménez) and is listed in the archaeological database of the Costa Rican National Museum under the sites key G-540-Pd.
At the El Pedregal site there are at least 465 rocks and boulders decorated with petroglyphs (Künne and Strecker 2008: 17).
1) lies between 400m and 800m above sea level and is probably the result of extensive deforestation during late 19th century.
The entire grass land forms a peculiar contrast to the nearby tropical forests (Nuhn 1978: 31) covering the remaining volcanic slopes.
2), their majority does not measure more than 2.00 m × 1.00 m × 1.00 m (length × width × height).
Due to the large size, the high number and the iconographic complexity of decorated stones, the Pedregal site is one of the most impressive archaeological monuments of Costa Rica and one of the most important rock art sites in Central America.
The iconographic inventory of the volcano Orosí seems to originate from a local convention of stone processing which is embedded into the traditions of the Greater Nicoya region.
They witness a broad variety of transcultural interrelationships maintained by the indigenous societies of Costa Rica before the arrival of European conquerors.
Their classification indicates a considerable number of motifs dating back to the early Tempisque-Bagaces period (500 BCE – 800 AD) whereas a minor iconographical corpus may be associated to the later Sapoá-Ometepe (800–1530 AD) era (Stone and Künne 2003: 205; Künne and Baker 216: 273).
Cooperating with the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica (MNCR) the long-term study documented a total of 324 decorated boulders until 2008.

Catapulted to nationwide notoriety, in the early 1900s he was a point of reference for heated debates on religion and politics; today he is considered a representative of intransigent religious fundamentalism.
Roca served as lecturing canon by the cathedrals of Las Palmas (1876-1892) and Seville (1892-1917), animated some diocesan periodicals and published numerous booklets.
He was one of very few nationally recognizable personalities of the Spanish Church who openly and systematically supported the Carlist cause, though he remained sympathetic also towards the Integrist breed of Traditionalism.
The ancient Catalan family of Roca got very branched throughout the centuries, with its representatives scattered across all of the region.
It is not clear what particular line the ancestors of Roca y Ponsa followed; none of the sources consulted provides any information on his distant forefathers.
It is established that his father, Cayetano Roca Subirachs (1828-1918), was a native of Vich; he formed part of the local bourgeoisie and in the mid-19th century either owned or otherwise operated a corset factory, manufacture or workshop.
It is not clear how many children they had; among José’s siblings there was at least one brother Cayetano and two sisters, Dolores and Margarita.
His education in Seminario de Vich was terminated in unclear circumstances, related to the fall of Isabelline monarchy and the Glorious Revolution.
Either in late 1872 or in early 1873 Roca y Ponsa and 3 other Vich seminarians were transferred to the seminary in Las Palmas; it is there he completed bachillerato in teología in 1873.
He became a deacon in 1874 and as a presbyter was ordained a priest in 1875; he held his first mass on March 27, 1875.
Between June and September Roca y Ponsa served as ecónomo in the Canarian village of Artenara, where in 1876 he ascended to párroco castrense.
The same year and following a brief spell on the peninsula he obtained bachillerato, licenciatura and doctorado of canon law in Granada.
Back on the Canary Islands he assumed teaching at the Las Palmas seminary, first as catedrático of Hermenéutica y Oratoria Sagrada but over the years having classes also in Latin, philosophy, Hebrew and dogmatics.
In Las Palmas Roca y Ponsa kept serving as lecturing canon by the cathedral and as catedrático by the local seminary.
He was gradually gaining recognition; in 1877 the Canary bishop, José María Urquinaona, nominated him head of the diocesan pilgrimage to Rome; Roca was also assuming prestigious roles during local ceremonies.
His position in the Las Palmas hierarchy was enhanced with the 1879 arrival of the new bishop, ; in 1881 Pozuelo nominated him to sort out politically sensitive question of the local cemetery.
At the turn of the decades Roca launched a short-lived diocesan daily and then a bi-weekly, which he managed until 1888.
His militant articles aimed against the liberal regime cost him trial; in 1885 he was sentenced to living 3,5 years 25 km away from Las Palmas, but it is not sure whether the sentence was enforced.
However, for reasons which remain unclear he decided to leave the islands and applied for position of a canon by the Seville cathedral.
Things changed in 1899, when Roca gained nationwide recognition following publication of his pamphlet, directed against teachings of the primate, cardinal Sancha.
Because it was wrongly assumed that the criticism was authorised by the Seville archbishop Spínola it caused a scandal and widespread debate.
Though he gained recognition bordering notoriety, Roca did not progress in terms of his ecclesiastical career, especially that in 1911 his new booklets triggered negative response from the Vatican.
Apart from his role of lecturing canon he assumed only some new teaching jobs in the local seminary, at Hispalense, and at various private establishments.
In the mid-1910s Roca started to withdraw from active religious service, especially that in 1914 he suffered a grave accident, which resulted in continuous health problems.
Upon reaching the regular retirement age he resigned his canon position and in 1917 entered Congregación de Sacerdotes de San Felipe Neri, an order grouping retired chaplains.
A member of numerous religious congregations in the late 1920s he rose to executive roles in some, his activity limited by growing problems with eyesight.
His last sermons in Seville are dated for mid-1931; around that time he moved back to Las Palmas, where he was taken care of by the family of his sister.
Roca gained his name first as orator and already in 1879 he was assigned to deliver important sermons during prestigious religious events.
In the early 1890s he was locally well known in Las Palmas for his homilies, the image then reinforced during the 25-year-service in Seville.
Especially after 1910 Roca used to speak also at secular venues, usually marked by right-wing militancy; they could have been half-scientific sessions commemorating personalities like Jaime Balmes and Marcelino Menendez Pelayo or Traditionalism-flavored openly political conferences.
For some 15 years Roca was the moving spirit behind a number of Catholic Canarias periodicals, either issued directly by the bishopry or by related institutions.
In the 1900s he vigorously took part in conferences known as Asamblea Nacional de Buena Prensa and until the early 1910s remained active in their Sevillan outpost, inspecting Catholic papers in terms of their orthodoxy.
Between 1873 and 1935 Roca published some 15 booklets, formatted either as collections of essays, often based on his earlier sermons, or as pamphlets.
They usually dwelled on religion and politics; the author used to offer his – routinely highly critical – diagnosis of Spanish public life and advanced own suggestions for the future.
They were underpinned by confidence that a community without an officially accepted and enforced orthodoxy, a community where various concepts of public life constantly compete for domination, can not form an orderly, peaceful, operational society.
In his view the only appropriate orthodoxy was Catholicism, which for centuries shaped the Spanish self and contributed to greatness of the nation; Catholic principles should serve as guidelines organizing both state and society.
Their antithesis was liberalism, not only useless as a political doctrine, but also unacceptable as a moral concept; it remained responsible for decline of Spain and led towards further calamities in the future.
Roca’s view was fairly typical for some sections of the Spanish society, yet it was expressed in most absolute and intransigent form; politics was viewed as battleground between God and Satan.
He classified all political groupings into just two categories: liberal and anti-liberal ones; basically, only the Carlists and the Integrists were considered part of the latter; all other parties formed the ungodly, sinister liberal camp.
Roca reserved particular criticism for the Conservatives, who accepted the Restoration political framework; though theoretically catering to Christian sections of the society, in fact with their hypocrisy they undermined Christian values.
In the early 1900s Roca tried to format the emerging popular Catholic political movement, which at the time was taking shape of numerous Catholic congresses, as a vehicle of militant intransigent policy.
He tried to orient them towards rejection of malmenorismo, which in practical terms would have stood for adopting an anti-regime posture; having failed, he then denounced them as doomed and based on false principles.
Though at the time classical Spanish liberalism was in decline, giving way to new socialist and republican movements, Roca did not re-focus his approach; for him, new radical revolutionary ideas were merely extreme embodiments of liberalism.
While absolutism – also considered brainchild of liberal fallacy - was usurpation of an individual, republicanism, nationalism or socialism were also usurpations against godly order, but attempted in name of specific groups.
He kept opposing also social-Catholic and Christian-democratic movements, tailored to operate in liberalism-ridden democratic regime and guilty of abandoning unity between religious and political objectives.
However, when in 1888 the latter broke away from orthodox Carlism himself to set up the branch known as Integrism, Roca did not take sides and remained equidistant.
As a key attendant Roca took part in a grand Carlist meeting known as Magna Junta de Biarritz of 1919 and delivered one of key lectures; his embrace with the claimant Don Jaime was among iconic scenes from the rally.
In 1930 and along other Carlists Roca intervened with cardenal Segura, perplexed about his statements which appeared to endorse Alfonsism; the same year he assisted in a grand rally of Andalusian Integrists.
Until the late 1890s Roca y Ponsa was known locally, appreciated in Catholic circles of Las Palmas and Sevilla for his unyielding, well-delivered sermons.
It was the 1899 Sancha – Spínola controversy which catapulted him to nationwide notoriety; Traditionalist dailies saluted him as righteous Christian, ridiculed him as reactionary relic.
The issue was formally brought before Vatican; the pronouncement of Extraordinary Congregation for Ecclesiastic Affairs, which somewhat ambiguously sided with Sancha, was welcome with relief in governmental circles; also the regent Maria Christina spoke out.
The debate demonstrated that Roca was not isolated among the Spanish clergy, and at one point it seemed that the episcopate was uncertain about the way forward.
However, in the following decades the Church opted for a moderate political strategy; Roca’s defeat was sealed by another official Vatican’s pronouncement of 1911; it stated that though doctrinally correct, his writings were not official political recommendations for the Catholics.
It seems that in the 1970s in Seville there was an organisation named Fundación Roca y Ponsa, yet there is nothing closer known about its activity.
In the 1990s the Canarian Carlists attempted to revive his memory; they set up Círculo Tradicionalista Roca y Ponsa in Las Palmas, launched a project on Catholic counter-revolutionary thought on the islands and operated a dedicated web page.
The initiative died out; there is only one minor biographic article on Roca and another one on his early writings from the 1870s.
He is typically presented as representative of reactionary, sectarian currents, who advanced intolerant fanaticism and provoked a grave crisis between the archbishops of Toledo and Seville.
He might also be noted as author of primitive run-of-the-mill anti-Darwinian tirades, failed contender in early discussions on Spanish political Catholicism, or a sample of ultramontanism.
More favorably disposed scholars list him among theorists like , and Sardá y Salvany or position him as a classical example of Integrism.
In wide public discourse Roca is almost absent; if noted, he is mentioned as the one who triggered a conflict between two hierarchs.

Adelheid von Schugel, now a priest, explains to a churchgoer of his belief that the Empire was at war with the whole world because all the other nations feared it.
Initially, the Imperial forces appear to have lost the battle, but the 203rd helps the Imperial side gain a decisive tactical advantage by completely destroying the Free Republic's headquarters.
As the battle draws to a close, Tanya announces triumphantly that the 203rd would return to the Empire for R&R, much to the pleasure of the 203rd's soldiers.
However, upon their arrival in Empire, Rerugen orders the 203rd to an immediate reconnaissance mission on the Empire's eastern border with the Russy Federation.
At the border, the 203rd covertly observe the movements of Federation forces, including the preparation of a long-range railway gun and the stockpiling of war materiel.
However, just as the 203rd prepare to retreat, the railway cannon fires, and the 203rd receives radio messages from Strategic Headquarters warning that the Federation has declared war on the Empire.
After some consideration, Tanya proposes a direct attack on the Moscow, the capital city of the Federation, to which Weiss responds with shock.
However, Tanya dismisses his worries and assures Weiss that Moscow's AA defence is so poor that a Cessna could be landed in the Red Square unmolested.
Meanwhile, Warrant Officer Mary Sioux, who has enlisted in the US Army as an aerial mage, is on a train towards Moscow with other multinational military volunteers of the 42nd Flying Division.
She writes a letter to her mother, sharing her experiences in recruit training, expressing that she is well, but misses her mother.
Having arrived at Moscow, Mary's commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel William Drake, meets his uncle, who discloses to Drake of the various events within the Federation.
She refuses orders from Drake and takes off to engage the 203rd, forcing the remaining members of the 42nd to also engage in battle.
Mary becomes enraged after discovering that Tanya is carrying her father's rifle and engages Tanya in a duel, but is defeated.
Late at night at Imperial East Border Temporary Camp 21, the 203rd and other Imperial soldiers celebrate their successes and become drunk.
Some time after, the 203rd receives emergency orders to assist the 3rd and 22nd Divisions, who haven been encircled at Tiegenhoff.
Tanya gleefully notes that retaking control of Tiegenhoff would allow the Empire access to a major railway hub connecting all railway lines into the Federation.
Back in Moscow, Loria finds out about Tanya's presence at Tiegenhoff and advocates the use of massed manpower to capture the city, which is approved.
Drake shares with his uncle his frustration at being sent into battle; the 42nd's mages have only just left basic training.
Mary sees Tanya and disobeys Drake's orders; she breaks off and duels Tanya in a rage, all while exhibiting her abnormally massive magical power.
While duelling Mary, Tanya comes to the conclusion that Mary has been influenced by Being X, who granted Mary her power to pressure Tanya into worshipping it.
Later, while staring at the countless dead of the battle, Tanya monologues that her envisioned 'peaceful life' is unlikely to materialise due to Being X's meddling.
Ten days later, Tanya successfully convinces Strategic Headquarters to let her transfer to the rear for two months to do research on combined arms battle tactics.
Two months later, Tanya is informed by Zettour that she has now been given control of the 8th Kampfgruppe 'Salamander': a combined arms unit comprising artillery, infantry, tanks and her own 203rd in order to investigate the efficacy of her own research.

André Jean Martin (born 20 September 1929 in Paris) is a particle physicist who made his career at CNRS and CERN.
After studying at the École normale supérieure (class of 1949), he began his career as a CNRS researcher under the direction of Maurice Lévy at the physics laboratory of the École Normale.
He has made numerous visits to the United States, including two one-year visits to the Institute for Advanced Study at the invitation of J.R. Oppenheimer and to New York University, Stony Brook, at the invitation of C.N.
The most interesting results of Maurice Lévy's thesis are the reconstruction of a separable interaction from a phase shift and an original demonstration of Levinson's theorem.
At CERN he first worked on the analytical properties of the amplitude of scattering by a potential: on the one hand a demonstration of the Mandelstam representation for a Yukawa potential, on the other hand a new method for studying partial waves using the Laplace transform.
After the proof, due to Froissart, that the total effective cross section cannot grow faster than the logarithm squared of the energy, using the Mandelstam representation, he is interested in the amplitude of high-energy scattering.
Finally, in 1966 he succeeded in demonstrating the validity of the Froissart bound using local field theory, without postulating the Mandelstam representation.
In the meantime, in 1964, he obtains an absolute bound on the pion-pion scattering amplitude, this bound was considerably improved later.
In 1977, stimulated by experimental results on quarkonium, formed from a heavy quark and antiquark, he began to study the order of energy levels in potentials, but it was not until 1984 that the best criterion, the Laplacian sign of potential, was found.
At the same time, in 1981, he proposed a naïve model of potential to reproduce the levels of quarkonium, whose predictive power is extraordinary.
An overview of these results can be found in the book written with H.Grosse and a more recent unpublished review can be found in ArXives.
André Martin has also studied low-energy scattering in the case of two dimensions of space as well as the counting of related states.
Recent work (after 2008) includes a lower bound on the inelastic rms cross-section, the sign of the real part of the forward scattering amplitud and a lower bound on the wide-angle scattering amplitude.

Zaitzevia thermae, also called the warm springs zaitzevian riffle beetle, is a flightless, wingless small beetle found in aquatic habitats in Montana.
The species is distinguished from other elmids by its 8–segmented antennae, its side–lying and silk like elytra, pimply abdominal sternum, and other minor genetic differences.
They are known from only a handful of occurrences around a small warm spring along Bridger Creek, near Bozeman, Montana, on land owned by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
The primary threat to the species was the massive reduction of its habitat by human intervention, namely water collection infrastructure at the spring.
The species is classified as N1, or critically imperiled, by NatureServe, but threats to its longevity have largely been eliminated, and drastic change in the size of its population in the next ten years is unlikely.
The species attaches itself to the underside of rocks or clings to watercress and feeds on algae on the gravel bottom of the spring using their mandibles.
They are non–migratory, and their lack of wings makes their dispersal opportunities limited, but are most likely long–lived, with lifespans of greater than a year.

It describes a place in the spirit world, which varies greatly according to the religious current, but which could generally be equated with a kind of spiritual colony.
For this reason, the term Aruanda may have several meanings, depending on the terreiro, or spiritualist center in which it is mentioned.
For the traditional Umbanda, founded in 1908 by the Caboclo das Sete Encruzilhadas, the inhabitants of Aruanda are working spirits of goodness and charity, newly disembodied in learning, and light spirits who have not been returning to the physical realm for a long time.
These spiritual guides, despite their spiritual evolution, remain in the vibrating dimension of Aruanda to continue assisting the incarnate and discarnate, manifesting on Earth under the fluidic clothing (in spiritual typology) of old blacks, caboclos and children.
Its true forms, however, transcend race, creed, or ethnicity, and their manifestation is possible in any congregation that practices the love-charity binomial and admits spiritual communication.

The commandery constituted part of the Lu Kingdom during the reigns of Emperor Guangwu and Emperor Ming, until Liu Qiang (劉彊), the prince of Donghai, offered the territory back to the imperial government.
In 140, there were 13 counties, namely Tan, Lanling, Qi, Qu, Xiangben, Changlü, Cheng, Yinping, Licheng, Hexiang, Zhuqi, Houqiu, and Ganyu (赣榆).
During Cao Wei dynasty, Donghai served as the fief of Cao Lin, a son of the Emperor Wen, and his son Cao Qi (曹啟).

So opened the company's first location in a 40-square-foot space in the Apple Mall section of the Dragon Centre shopping mall in Sham Shui Po, which she leased for per month, soon after she separated from her ex-husband.
The store initially sold low-cost jewellery and a small amount of stationery purchased online from mainland China, with teenage schoolgirls being its main target audience.
As the company was able to attract a wider range of customers owing to the shop's location on a busy street, the company expanded the types of products it sold to include more types of stationery, household items and smartphone accessories.
So met Law Ka-cheung, her current husband, in 2016; Law's parents founded stationery wholesaler Tung Fong Stationery Co. and operated the company for 30 years.
Law joined Cheap Lab as a shareholder, injecting capital and introducing new sources for procuring products, such as by bypassing wholesalers and directly importing products from a Korean manufacturer.
Sit also noted that the company allowed retail staff to manage and interact with customers on the company's Facebook fan page based on their own creativity, including by taking videos of themselves promoting new products, with few restrictions.
This stands in contrast with similar stationery retailers in Hong Kong which rarely use social media and instead focus on low pricing and quick inventory turnover.
Sit pointed to several examples, including a Cheap Lab employee showcasing a low-cost fidget spinner by demonstrating in a video several ways with which it can be played; and another employee using a pair of 3M titanium scissors, instead of a knife, to cut a roast suckling pig.
The company trialed the sale of higher-priced products in 2019, though So noted that customers were generally unwilling to purchase products priced above HK$50.
To reduce costs, the company usually selects shops with both a ground floor and an upper or basement floor, with a combined area larger than 1500 square feet to accommodate multiple types of products.
In addition to founding Cheap Lab, So also founded online baby products retailer Little Monster in 2019, with an initial investment of HK$100,000.
In explaining why she decided to start a new brand instead of selling baby products in Cheap Lab locations, she explained that as a mother herself, she felt that the environment inside Cheap Lab stores was not suitable for the sales of baby products.

Keith Anthony Savin (5 June 1929–1992) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Derby County and Mansfield Town.
It began as the Burgersdorp Theological School, founded in 1869 and moved to Potchefstroom, South Africa, at the end of 1904, opening the following year.
The School’s first offices, including the dormitories, teachers’ quarters, and classrooms of the Preparatory School, were sold to the Transvaal provincial government in 1926 for £7,500.
To make more room for students in the Department of Literature (forerunner of the Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Educaton (PU for CHE), the aforementioned buildings and library were moved to a side wing of the Preparatory School.
The GKSA Jubilee Fund, at the 1920 Synod, approved £3,000 to build a new school, after 3 morgans of land had already been purchased for a nominal £25 in 1917.
The TSP buildings were repurposed in the 1950’s as part of the GKSA Administrative Offices and Archives, as well as the house of worship for the Potchefstroom-Die Bult Reformed Church.
From its dedication on October 18, 1952 to 2015, the main church building housed the Potchefstroom North Reformed Church (GKSA), until it merged with the Noordbrug Reformed Church.
At the 1949 GKSA Synod, the TSP Curator proposed a construction plan to provide space for the library, reading room, archives, and administrative offices, as well as the classrooms and meeting hall of the TSP.
The Synod did not see the need to buy new land, since the Potchefstroom City Council had already donated land opposite the old TSP site.
The sticking point remained the Synod’s demands for either a long, flat building or a tall, narrow one, neither of which seemed practical.
The Curatorium of the GKSA agreed with the new congregation’s council that it could build a church alongside the TSP buildings as long as the GKSA Synod meetings could be held therein.
On the south side, the library and archives were to be housed in a section numbering three 8-ft-high (2.5-m-high) stories, including a top floor for the GKSA Archive with ample expansion room.
The building evokes the Reformation Wall in Geneva and takes on the aspect of a fortress symbolizing the simplicity and power of Calvinism.
In addition to the aforementioned uses, the GKSA also planned to use the buildings for Synod meetings and parts of the TSP as halls for committee meetings underneath the Synod’s aegis.
Once fencing was factored in, the 1952 Synod estimated a cost of £30,000 to the denomination to be paid over 20 years.
Bolton’s accepted bid for the church building was seen as beyond the congregation’s means, so several cuts were made to bring the cost to £23,521, including £5,500 for the parsonage and £3,000 for the organ.
Roode commissioned the specifications for import and construction by South African Organ Builders, and stipulated that conservatory students could practice and give recitals there.

Flora Curzon, Lady Howe (born Florence Hamilton Davis) (January 27, 1870 – April 15, 1925) was an American heiress and singer who twice married into the British aristocracy.
Flora, as she was known, was the daughter of Bellevue, Ohio born Florence (née Chapman) Davis and John Hagy Davis, a Wall Street banker with John H. Davis & Co., located at 10 Wall Street.
On October 16, 1893, Flora was married to Lord Terence John Temple Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood at the English Church of the Holy Trinity in the Avenue de l'Alma in Paris.
He was the second son of Frederick Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, 1st Marquess of Dufferin and Ava and Hariot Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava.
His father was Governor General of Canada of in the 1870s and Viceroy and Governor-General of India in the 1880s and his mother was known for leading an initiative to improve medical care for women in British India.
They spent their honeymoon at Walmer Castle, which is one of Lord Dufferin's residences by virtue of his position as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.
During the Devonshire House Ball of 1897, then Lady Terence Blackwood, attended as Flora, Goddess of Flowers and was photographed by Walker & Boutall.
Upon the death of Terence's older brother Archibald, Earl of Ava at the Siege of Ladysmith in the Second Boer War in 1900, he became the heir and assumed the courtesy title Earl of Ava himself before succeeding his father in 1902.

Reviving (and extending) his 1980 thesis, he argues that the strategic interests and ideological outlooks of the two sides differed significantly.
Dedicated to Saint Joseph, it is one of the two major Catholic churches in the city together with the Heikese kerk.
The first part of the Heuvelse kerk was built in the period 1871–73, while the second phase took place between 1887 and 1889 and included the current front facade with its two towers.
The only major adjustment to the original building, designed by Hendrik van Tulder, was an extension of both transepts in the 1950s.
Three portals in the front facade contain entrances, the central one being decorated with a relief showing the flight into Egypt.
The interior is covered by a four-part rib vault and includes two organs and a winged altarpiece by Hendrik van der Geld, created between 1878 and 1881.
In December of that same year, the parish exchanged lands surrounding the Heikese kerk for the barracks and its garden with the municipal government after the municipal council and the provincial-executive had approved the deal.
In order for the new church to be accessible from the Heuvel, two houses along that square were purchased for fl.
The barracks itself was left standing to be used as a clergy house, while the church itself would be erected entirely within the barracks' gardens.
Construction of the church was divided into two phases, because the parish did not have enough money to build it at once.
The first phase started in 1871 and included about half of the church as it stands today, encompassing the choir, the transepts, and two bays of the nave, at a cost of fl.
The Heuvelse kerk was inaugurated by Van der Lee on October 15, 1873, and the first public service was held on the first day of the next month.
Van der Lee was supposed to become the parish priest of St. Jozef, but instead ended up in that same position at the parish 't Heike because of another priest's death.
In the years after the completion of the first part of the Heuvelse kerk, statues, ornaments, and the winged altarpiece were added to the interior.
The second construction phase, that included the front facade with the two towers, and restoration of the existing part began in November 1887.
The Heuvelse kerk was finished in 1889 and consecrated on July 1 by Bishop Adrianus Godschalk of the Diocese of 's-Hertogenbosch.
The church was decorated, and six temporary triumphal arches were erected spanning streets close to it, one of which was a scale model of the church.
Parish Priest Smits died in 1908 after having been in that position for 33 years, earning the position of Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau.
A carillon consisting of 35 bells, founded by the British Gillett & Johnston, was installed in the south tower in 1925.
It was first played on by Belgian carillon player Jef Denyn on the day of the Sacred Heart parade in June.
Initially, the carillon sounded every 15 minutes during the entire day, but starting in 1931 the carillon was turned off during night-time after complaints.
In January and February 1943, during the German occupation in World War II, the Germans removed the bronze bells of the carillon.
Although a few new bells were put into place in 1947 after a collection was taken, the carillon was never restored.
The Heuvelse kerk underwent a renovation in the years 1955–56 by the architectural firm of Jos Donders to extend the two transepts.
During September of the first year of construction, most of the old south transept collapsed creating a hole in the church and damaging the extension, that was still under construction.
During one of them, an iron fence was placed at the west end of the nave to make it possible to halt visitors.
The parish announced in 2019 that either the Heuvelse kerk or the Heikese kerk would close due to a drop in attendance and the financial burden of both churches.
The church is situated along Heuvelring in close proximity to the Heuvel, a square in the city center from which it derives its name.
The Heuvelse kerk is designed by Hendrik van Tulder, who designed numerous other buildings in Tilburg including the old town hall two decades earlier and also several churches.
The central portal is slightly larger and contains a relief depicting the flight into Egypt created by sculptor Piet van Tielraden in 1890.
A copper-gilded statue of Saint Joseph, to whom the church is dedicated, can be seen on the top of the gable.
The visible heart of the statue used to be made out of actual gold, but it was replaced by a replica of gilded copper in 1982 after an attempted theft.
The interior or the Heuvelse kerk is covered by a stone four-part rib vault except for the joint of the cross, where the rib vault has a starlike shape.
The bays of the nave from the first construction phase (1871–73) have, in contrast to the newer part, a painted leaf pattern along the sides of the rib vault.
The plastered side walls of the nave feature frescos of the Stations of the Cross, painted by the Belgian painter Georges de Geetere in 1909–10.
They used to be shallow, but were extended by parts with a lower ceiling in the Early Christian style between 1955 and 1956.
This chapel is opened 24/7 since 1991 and is supposed to be always occupied by worshippers, making it one of a few places in the Netherlands where this tradition is continued.
The left wing contains images of each of the five Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary, while the middle part depicts the five Sorrowful Mysteries with the relief of the crucifixion of Jesus being larger than the other four.
The central part is topped by tracery with statues of the Mother of God, Jesus, two angels, Anthony the Great, and Denis.
The predella is located below the main part and has reliefs of the Last Supper, the Passover meal, the sacrifice by Melchizedek, and a meal with twelve people, all concerning the eucharistic celebration.
Below that, the base depicts the binding of Isaac, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and the rain of manna.
It was made by organ builder F. C. Smits II and has a neo-Gothic casing, that is shaped as to avoid blocking a rose window behind it.
Before the current main organ was installed, the Heuvelse kerk used to have another organ with mechanical traction constructed by Wander Beekes in 1828.
After the second construction phase of the Heuvelse kerk was completed, the organ was moved to a different location within the church.

The film presents the biblical stories of Adam and Eve, David and Bathsheba, and Samson and Delilah in the form of pornographic vignettes, and stars Bo White, Caprice Couselle, Georgina Spelvin, Nicholas Flammel, Brahm van Zetten, and Gloria Grant.
Writer-director Wakefield Poole avidly studied the Bible as a child, and wanted to tell three stories from the Old Testament from a female perspective, as he felt that biblical narratives often cast women in a negative light.
Poole initially wanted to cast Charles Ludlam and Lola Pashalinski respectively as David and Bathsheba, but after encountering creative differences with Ludlam, Poole instead cast Georgina Spelvin as Bathsheba and his neighbor John Horn as David.
Candy Darling wanted the role of Mary in the film, but Poole cast Bonnie Mathais, a soloist with the American Ballet Theatre, as Mary instead.
Scenes which take place in the Garden of Eden were shot on the island of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands.
The David and Bathsheba segment was filmed in a large garage on Mulberry Street in Little Italy, Manhattan, and the final scenes featuring Mary were shot in Yuma, Arizona.
Press screenings were held, and the film was exhibited at the Lincoln Art Theatre in 35 mm, blown up from its original 16 mm format.
Heinz Rauch (23 November 1914 - 19 December 1962) was a German activist and politician (KPD, SED) who fought against the fascists in the Spanish Civil War.
In February 1957 he took over as head of the East German statistical service, retaining the post till his death in an air crash not quite six years later.
1933 was also the year in which the Hitler government took power and lost little time in transforming Germany into a one-party dictatorship: one effect of that was that at around the same time that Rauch joined the party, his membership of it became illegal.
His stay in Norway was cut short, however, following intervention by the Communist Party of Norway which at this point was desperately keen to avoid becoming involved in any confrontation with the German occupation forces.
On 5 July 1941, accompanied by Franz Stephany, he was sent back to Norway in order to make contact with the (by this time illegal) Central Committee of the Communist Party in Oslo.
Back in Berlin Heinz Rauch's continuing political involvement during his Swedish exile had not gone unnoticed, and on 2 March 1942 he was of his German citizenship.
Although Rauch managed to remain below the radar during most of his time in Sweden, there is little doubt that he remained politically active till the war ended.
Heinz Rauch returned to the region administered as the Soviet occupation zone in Germany via Danzig with other activist comrades who had spent the war in Sweden, including Georg Henke, , Wolfgang Steinitz and Paul Verner.
The stated purpose of the party merger, which in the event took effect only in Germany's Soviet occupation zone, was to avoid a return to power of a nationalist-populist government (as had happened in 1933), facilitated by divisions on the political left.
Heinz Rauch was one of hundreds of thousands of Communist Party members in the Soviet zone who lost no time in signing their Communist Party membership over to the new party.
A further practical indication that Rauch had found favour with the military authorities and party establishment came in 1947/48, during which time he served as head of the Soviet News and Information Service for East Saxony.
It was also during 1948 that his wife and the couple's (at this stage two) children relocated from Sweden to join him, reuniting the young family in the Soviet occupation zone.
It was during this period, in October 1949, that the Soviet occupation zone was formally relaunched as the Soviet sponsored German Democratic Republic (East Germany).
Clearly marked out for further party-political advancement, between September 1956 and September 1957 Rauch was in Moscow, attending the of the Soviet Communist Party Central Committee.
On 19 December 1962 Rauch and his wife Märta, along with two of their sons, were passengers on second leg of the LOT flight from Brussels to Warsaw, which had touched down in Berlin for a mid-way stop.
On the final approach to Warsaw the Vickers Viscount 804 crashed slightly more than a kilometer short of the runway and burst into flames.

Dosso v. Federation of Pakistan was the first constitutional case after the promulgation of Constitution of Pakistan of 1956 and an important case in Pakistan's political history.
Dosso was the tribal person from district Loralai in Baluchistan then under Provincially Administered Tribal Areas who committed a murder and got arrested by tribal authorities and handed over to Loya jirga which convicted him under Frontier Crimes Regulation.
Relatives of Dosso challenged the decision in Lahore High Court the then West Pakistan High Court which ruled in favour of Dosso.
Federal Government went on to the Supreme Court of Pakistan which reversed the High Court's decision by referring to the Hans Kelsen theory of Legal positivism famously the Doctrine of necessity.
Dosso a resident of tribal district Loralai committed a murder and got arrested by the Levis Forces which handed him over to the tribal authorities where he was trialed by Loya Jirga.
He was charged for murder under the section 11 of the FCR 1901 and was convicted for it by Loya Jirga.
The High Court declared that FCR is against the constitution and Dosso is entitled to equality before law under article 5 & 7 of the constitution.
The Supreme Court decided the case in the favour of the Federal Government on the basis of Hans Kelsen theory of Legal positivism.
Relatives of Dosso filed a petition against his conviction by Loya Jirga in West Pakistan High Court(Lahore High Court) that he is the citizen of Pakistan and being a citizen of Pakistan he must be tried according to the Pakstani laws, not the FCR.
Articles 5 of the Constitution of Pakistan 1956 states that all citizens are equal before law and under article 7 enjoy equal protection of the constitution.
The Constitution of Pakistan ensures the equality and protection of citizens and declared the proceedings of Loya Jirga as null and void.
The effect of Lahore High Court's decision was that after declaring FCR against the constitution and proceedings of Loya Jirga as null and void, the cases which were decided since the promulgation of new constitution of 1956 were in question.
It was said that if conviction of Loya Jirga in Dosso case is declared null and void then what about the previous convictions of Loya Jirga after promulgation of Constitution in 1956.
Federal Government of Pakistan appealed against the decision of Lahore High Court in the Supreme Court of Pakistan and Supreme Court set the hearing date for the case on 13 October 1958.
President Iskander Mirza imposed first martial law of the country and made Commander-in-Chief of Pakistan Army General Ayub Khan as Chief Martial Law Administrator(CMLA).
After three days of martial law, an order named Laws (Continuance in Force) Order 1958 was issued by CMLA Ayub Khan.
Martial law impacted the case significantly and raised some technical points that if Supreme Court maintains the decision of Lahore High Court, it meant that constitution was still in force because the Lahore High Court decided the case under article 5 and 7 of the Constitution of Pakistan 1956.
Also if the constitution was still in force then what will be the status of martial law regulations and Laws (Continuance in Force) Order 1958 as it also challenged the martial law administration.
The judgment legitimized the martial law of 1958 as a bloodless coup and a kind of peaceful revolution which was not resisted or opposed by the public implied that public is satisfied with this change or revolution, so therefore this martial law is legit.
According to the Supreme Court, Laws (Continuance in Force) Order 1958 is the new legal order instead of Constitution of Pakistan 1956 which got abrogated and the validity of a law is determined by this new legal order.
Furthermore it was held that the constitution is abrogated, therefore FCR 1901 is in force according to the Laws (Continuance in Force) Order 1958 which validated the decision of Loya jirga.
The recognition of martial law and with the reborn of Kelsen’s outdated theory which afterwards was applied in many other cases in Pakistan as well as in the outer world.
Supreme Court's judgement in Dosso case greatly impacted the politics in Pakistan and opened the doors for the future martial laws in the country.
Legitimization of martial law given power to CMLA Ayub Khan who used it to rule the country for next 10-11 years.
Democratic process in the country was crippled which had recently been on the road after the promulgation of 1 constitution in 1956 and made the country to run on the track of dictatorship.
The decision also deprived country of its first constitution just after two years of its promulgation after the struggle of 9 long years.
Abrogation of the 1956 Constitution also disturbed the ties between East and West Pakistan which were recently settled by establishing parity between both wings and incorporating both Urdu and Bengali as national language.
The decision of the Supreme Court re-validated the British implied legacy of Frontier Crimes Regulation, which was known as the Black Law continued to be enforced in the tribal region till 2018.
The decision of the Supreme Court of Pakistan was a serious blow to the independence of judiciary and judiciary was bound to render its service under new legal order.
The judiciary once again bowed down in front of executive in this case and concept of separation of powers further diminished.

In a 6-3 ruling, the Court held that the 3-year statute of limitations for a fabrication of evidence civil lawsuit under section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act begins to run when the criminal case ends in the plaintiff's favor.
This case was notable as a victory for criminal defendants; the precedent it set would make it easier to sue prosecutors and police for fabricating evidence against defendants.
The Court's ruling also resolves a circuit split between United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and other federal appeals courts.
In September 2009, its Rensselaer County affiliate held a party primary to select its nominees for the upcoming Troy city council elections.
During the primary, at least 50 absentee ballots were fraudulently obtained and cast by local political operatives attempting to gain control of the WFP's ballot line for the New York State Democratic Party.
These ballots were submitted to Ed McDonough, who - as a commissioner of the Rensselaer County Board of Elections - was responsible for processing the applications.
The scandal was exposed after a local Republican Party official, Robert Mirch, funded an initial investigation into reports that some absentee ballots that were cast in the WFP primary were fraudulent.
Several residents swore affidavits claiming to have never filled out an absentee ballot application or to have never received or cast votes that were recorded in their name.
The resulting investigation led to eight indictments; of these, four individuals (two Democratic Party operatives, a city clerk, and a city councilman) pled guilty; the charges against two other former city councilmen were dropped).
The two remaining defendants, former councilman Michael LoPorto and former Board of Elections Commissioner Ed McDonough, were tried twice; in their first trial, they were tried together and the jury deadlocked, necessitating a mistrial.
In his lawsuit, which was first filed in 2015 (just under 3 years since he was acquitted), McDonough claimed that Smith had intentionally framed him, fabricating evidence to link him to the ballot fraud case.
According to McDonough, Smith falsified affidavits, coached witnesses to lie, and orchestrated a faulty DNA analysis to connect McDonough to the fraudulent ballot envelopes.
For example, McDonough points to one witness who did not implicate McDonough before the grand jury but changed his testimony after allegedly receiving a phone call from Smith directing him to do so.
McDonough's case was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York under 42 USC 1983.
He asserted two separate constitutional violations: denial of due process because of fabrication of evidence and malicious prosecution, which are violations of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution..
McDonough appealed his case to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which heard the case in late 2017.
The Second Circuit found that the statute of limitations on a fabricated-evidence claim runs when the plaintiff becomes aware of the fabricated evidence and has been deprived of liberty in some way.
Under this framework, the statute of limitations began to run during McDonough's first trial, which took place more than three years before he filed his lawsuit.
This approach created a circuit split since it contradicted the approaches taken by the Third, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits, each of which had held that the statute of limitations begins when the criminal proceedings ended.
In oral arguments before the Court, which took place in April 2019, McDonough was represented by Neal Katyal, former acting United States Solicitor General under President Barack Obama.
In a 6-3 opinion written by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the Supreme Court held that the three-year statute of limitations for fabricated-evidence claims under section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act did not begin until the case had been favorably adjudicated in favor of the plaintiff.
Under common law, a statute of limitations usually begins to run once the plaintiff has a complete and present cause of action (e.g.
However, under certain circumstances, a claim can't be realistically filed while the violation is ongoing; under those circumstances, the statute of limitations may be delayed until a later time.
In determining what common law principles to apply, the Supreme Court drew an analogy between McDonough's Constitutional fabricated-evidence claim and the common law tort known as malicious prosecution, which the Court found to be the tort most similar to McDonough's allegation.
For malicious prosecution cases, the statute of limitations does not begin to run until the case is resolved in favor of the plaintiff.
The Supreme Court opinion noted that the common law rule for malicious prosecution had a pragmatic purpose as well, to ensure that criminal and civil cases over the same subject matter would not overlap or result in conflicting determinations.
The dissent, authored by Justice Clarence Thomas and joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Neil Gorsuch, argued that the Supreme Court should not have granted McDonough's petition for a writ of certiorari.
the specific Constitutional rights he claims were violated) were not clearly defined, making it difficult to determine which common law principles should be applied.
Following the ruling, the Second Circuit issued an order returning the case to the Northern District in New York for further litigation.

It contained the shrine of Ghiyath ad-Din Awliya, an Iraqi prince and preacher commonly credited for introducing Islam to the region.
Shirazi was a disciple of Shah Syed Niamatullah of Karnal and he was visited by the Shah in this mosque according to inscriptions.
As Mir Jumla's invasion of Assam commenced, Shirazi fled from Guwahati to Dhaka in 1658 after the Ahoms and the Koch Biharis rebelled, being led by their rulers Supangmung and Pran Narayan respectively.
In 1660, he established a strong enclosure in Shah Jalal's dargah in Sylhet town and also built a small mosque next to it.
In 1888, seven Canadian missionaries from the Presbyterian Church of Canada (later merged to form the United Church of Canada) established the North China Mission in the Province of Honan, located in current day Henan, China.
Extensive stays in missionary hospitals, gave medical missionaries plenty of time to preach to and teach patients about the word of God.
In 1888, Hudson Taylor, the founder of the China Inland Mission, warned Jonathan Goforth of the anti-foreigner sentiments prevalent in the North Honan region.
He said: Brother, if you would enter that Province [Honan], you must go forward on your knees.Taylor's warning proved to be true.
The anti-foreign sentiments held by the people in the province of Honan China proved to be an obstacle to missionary work.
In the north Honan province of China during the late 1800s and into the 20th century, due to cultural reasons, male medical missionaries were not allowed to treat female patients.
As a result, female medical missionaries became essential to the North China Mission as they were the only ones able to spread religion to female patients and residents of the region.
From 1888 to around 1950, the Woman's Missionary Society sent twenty-one unmarried nurses to the work in the North China Mission.
The original intent of the project is focused on providing firewall and networking services to a network, but the appliance can be customized in almost limitless ways to build bootable ISOs that can do many different things.
When burned to a CD-ROM, it will allow a perhaps otherwise unused, old computer to boot it and act as a network security device.
The virtual appliance can be updated just like a normal Gentoo system, allowing new Live CD images to be generated with the latest security fixes, bug corrections, additional features, and updated configurations.
The Live CD should be re-generated as often as important changes are released by the authors of the various software packages it contains.
Funtoo Linux( ) is a Linux distribution based on Gentoo Linux, created by Daniel Robbins (the founder and former project leader of Gentoo Linux) in 2008.
It's developed by a core team of developers, and built around a basic vision of improving the core technologies previously used by Gentoo Linux.
Funtoo has its own core networking solution to allow users to simplify the creation of complex network interfaces based on pre-created profiles.
Since May 2015 Funtoo offers a pre-build generic kernel with stage3 Although Funtoo is a source-based distribution, it should be possible to use a prebuilt Linux kernel.
Funtoo no longer encourages the use of the Sabayon kernel; however, with many improvements to Funtoo's design and init process, one should be able to load a binary kernel plus initrd from a preferred distribution hosting a precompiled/preconfigured kernel.
The most marked difference between the two would be no systemd support in Funtoo, but still delivering for example a working Gnome desktop without the systemd need.
Gentoox Loader has advanced features such as the ability to flash the Xbox's BIOS via HTTP POST and even the ability to boot a Linux kernel via HTTP POST or GET.
While this may increase the performance of the compilation output, it means that installing new software can take large amounts of time (e.g.
The installation can be done two ways: via an installation disc or over ftp, provided that the user can get an FTP daemon running on their Xbox.
The first involves creating a loopback installation on the E:\ partition on the Xbox's hard drive, the second is similar to the first except it utilizes the F:\ partition.
Gentoox can then either be run from a Dashboard, such as XBMC, or boot off a modified version of the legal Cromwell BIOS known as Gentoox Loader.
Knopperdisk is a fairly minimal, text system that can be used as a rescue disk, although the USB pen drive version has a few more software packages installed which are used for different purposes.
Tin Hat boots from CD, or optionally from USB flash drive, but it does not mount any file system directly from the boot device.
The central design consideration in Tin Hat is to construct an operating system that can hide data from an attacker even if he has physical access to the computer.
Physical access to a computer with unencrypted filesystems does not secure the data and an attacker could easily retrieve the data.
Encrypting the filesystem provides protection from such an attack, but many implementations of encryption do not hide the fact that data is encrypted on the filesystem.
This information does not help the attacker decrypt the filesystem, but it does reveal that it contains encrypted data and not random data.
If the user stores any data via a more permanent means than RAM, the encrypted data is indiscernible from random data.
Beyond these considerations, Tin Hat has to also protect against more common exploits based on networking or security holes in software.
While the downloaded version technically has all the same software packages as the purchased version, the difference is that the purchased version (which can be bought for 25 USD) contains many binaries of often used programs, while the downloaded version forces the user to download ebuilds of these packages and build the binaries themselves, which requires more time.
The cartoon depicts a cow standing upright in front of a trestle table, on which are placed four oddly-shaped objects, one resembling a crude hand saw.
Reflecting on the cartoon's reception, Larson suggested he had erred in making one of the tools resemble a saw, which misled many readers into believing that to understand the cartoon's message, they needed to decipher the identities of the other three tools.
While I have never met a cow who could make tools, I felt sure that if I did, they (the tools) would lack something in sophistication and resemble the sorry specimens shown in this cartoon.
Larson further explained that he was inspired by the idea that tool use was the characteristic that separated mankind from the rest of the animal kingdom.

The historiographic term also describes a frontier, often controversial territory in medieval Balkan in the territory of Asia Minor, and later at the dawn of the Ottoman Empire - on the Balkan Peninsula.
The Ottoman military leader distributes landed property (or fief) located on the border of the established state to his followers and wars, in return for their obligation to protect the border from external enemies, as a rule, believers (but not mandatory).
Udch or Uch was led by ouj Uch bey (Udch bey) and could be seen as a strategic corridor for the offensive used by the Seljuks in Asia Minor and later by the Ottomans in the Balkans in the second half of the 14th century.
Gilberto Barragán Balderas (born 19 May 1970) is a Mexican suspected drug lord and high-ranking member of the Gulf Cartel, a criminal group based in Tamaulipas, Mexico.
Barragán Balderas was the regional boss of Miguel Alemán and helped coordinate international drug trafficking shipments from South and Central America to Mexico and the U.S. His role in the cartel also included providing them with information on the movement and location of Mexican security forces to ensure safe passage of their cocaine and marijuana shipments.
In 2008, an indictment issued by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia detailing his criminal activities was unsealed in court.
In 2009, the U.S. Department of State and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) issued a US$5 million bounty for information leading to his arrest and/or conviction.
In 2010, the U.S. Department of the Treasury sanctioned Barragán Balderas under the Kingpin Act and froze all of his U.S-based assets.
Barragán Balderas was arrested by the Mexican Federal Police at a ranch in Reynosa in 2011 while he celebrated his birthday.
According to information from the Secretariat of Public Security (SSP), Barragán Balderas joined the Gulf Cartel, a criminal group based in Tamaulipas, Mexico, in the late 1990s when former kingpin Osiel Cárdenas Guillén became its leader.
In the cartel he was the regional boss of Miguel Alemán, which is across the U.S.-Mexico border from Roma, Texas, located in an area known as La Frontera Chica.
In conjunction with the DOS, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) listed him among the top ten most-wanted Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas members in 2009.
on 15 November 2007, on or around June 2006, Barragán Balderas and other members of the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas conspired with intent to distribute at least of cocaine and of marijuana from Mexico, Colombia and elsewhere into the U.S.
For these two counts, Barragán Balderas was ordered to forfeit all money and properties derived from the sale of these drugs, as well as any properties used to facilitate his operations.
If such properties could not be located, were sold or transferred to a third-party, and/or largely diminished in value, Barragán Balderas was ordered to forfeit other assets to make up for the total amount of said property.
Concerning the cocaine trafficking charges against him in the previous indictment, the prosecution specified that the cocaine shipments came from Colombia, Guatemala, Panama, Mexico and elsewhere before they reached the U.S.
They also stated that he was responsible for coordinating cash smuggling activities from the U.S. to Mexico, and referred to his criminal organization as La Compañía (English: The Company), a name that collectively referred to the co-organization of the Gulf Cartel and its former paramilitary group, Los Zetas.
The information included the movement and checkpoints erected by the Mexican Armed Forces, the Federal Police (PF) and the Tamaulipas State Police to prevent disruption of their marijuana and cocaine shipments.
The indictment also detailed that on or around 30 November 2007 in Colón, Panama, Barragán Balderas along with Costilla Sánchez, Mario Ramírez Treviño, Samuel Flores Borrego and other members of La Compañía shipped approximately of cocaine with the intent of distributing it in the U.S.
In a phone conversation on or around 8 December 2007, Barragán Balderas and Flores Borrego discussed the seizure of the shipment in Panama.
About a month later, on 4 March 2008, Barragán Balderas and Flores Borrego discussed a marijuana handover of intended for four suspects.
The U.S. government again ordered Barragán Balderas to forfeit his earnings from these drug transactions or forfeit other assets to make up the total value.
superseding indictment sworn in by a grand jury in 7 May 2012 and unsealed in court on 9 May 2013, U.S. authorities detailed more information on his drug trafficking activities.
They stated that in or around 2000 and up to February 2010, Barragán Balderas and other of his colleagues manufactured and intended to distribute or more of cocaine from Colombia, Guatemala, Panama, Mexico and elsewhere into the U.S.
The U.S. government again ordered Barragán Balderas to forfeit his drug proceeds or other assets equivalent to the total value he made from these drug deals.
According to the former PF chief Ramón Eduardo Pequeño García, Barragán Balderas was responsible for commanding Gulf Cartel cells in Tamaulipas to fight off rival cells from Los Zetas (though previously together, both groups broke ties in 2010).
On 6 February 2011, Barragán Balderas's henchmen reportedly mutilated five alleged Zetas' members bodies and dumped them beside a highway in Los Ramones.
On 24 March 2010, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), a branch of the United States Department of the Treasury, sanctioned 54 high-ranking members of the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas, including Barragán Balderas, under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act).
This sanction was made after U.S. and Mexican officials met in Mexico City the day before as part of the Mérida Initiative.
It also included the support of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and their special operations team, which assisted the OFAC in identifying the designated suspects.
Several of them controlled drug trafficking operations in Tamaulipas, Nuevo León, and other parts of Mexico, and had previous drug charges in the U.S.
As part of the sanction, the U.S. government prohibited U.S. citizens from engaging in business activities with Barragán Balderas and froze all of his U.S.-based assets; this was done to reduce his financial support to the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas and prevent him from having access to the international financial sector.
Corporate officers could face up to US$5 million in fines and up to 30 years in prison for violations of these provisions.
On 20 May 2011, the PF arrested Barragán Balderas while he celebrated his birthday at a ranch on the outskirts of Reynosa, alongside a highway that led to Miguel Alemán.
At the scene, security forces seized a Chevrolet vehicle with U.S. license plates, an AR-15 rifle with two embedded chargers, and a .357 Glock pistol and two .9 mm handguns with embedded chargers.
The PF presented Barragán Balderas to the media at their offices in Mexico City, and explained the charges and investigations he faced to national press.
The PF confirmed that the detainees were handed over to the Subprocuraduría de Investigación Especializada en Delincuencia Organizada (SIEDO), Mexico's organized crime investigation agency.
Authorities confirmed that the SIEDO had 48 hours to determine his legal status, though they could request more time to gather more evidence against him.
This was granted after the SIEDO presented evidence to the judge that Barragán Balderas was wanted for his suspected participation in drug trafficking (including drug possession), organized crime involvement and illegal possession of military-exclusive firearms.
He was kept at the Federal Investigation Center (CIF) of the Attorney General's Office (PGR) in Colonia Doctores during this 40-day period.
On 13 January 2020, Barragán Balderas was extradited from Mexico to the U.S. along with seven other suspected drug traffickers from the Gulf Cartel, Los Zetas and the Juárez Cartel to face his outstanding drug trafficking charges.
At the time of his extradition, per Article 12 of the National Code of Criminal Procedures (CNPP), he was considered innocent until proven guilty through due process.

Robert Anthony Woodard II (born September 22, 1999) is an American college basketball player for the Mississippi State Bulldogs of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).
Woodard grew up playing basketball and baseball but narrowed his focus to basketball by the time he started high school, in part due to his exceptional height.
As a sophomore, Woodard led Columbus to its first Mississippi Class 6A state title after averaging 20.2 points, 7.1 rebounds and four assists per game.
In his junior season, he averaged 25.2 points, 13.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists and three blocks per game and was named Mississippi Gatorade Player of the Year.
A four-star recruit and the highest-rated prospect in his state, he committed to play college basketball for Mississippi State over offers from Alabama, Memphis and Ole Miss, among others.
On November 17, 2019, Woodard set career highs with 21 points and 16 rebounds in a 82-59 win over New Orleans.
Woodard's father, also named Robert Woodard, left high school as the Mississippi all-time leading scorer in boys basketball, with 4,274 points, before playing for Mississippi State at the collegiate level.
Precipitation runoff on the west side of the mountain drains into nearby Lake Chelan via Fish Creek, whereas the north side of the mountain drains into Oval Creek, and the east side drains into Buttermilk Creek, both of which are tributaries of the Twisp River.
The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1985 to remember James (Ray) Courtney (1920-1982), a commercial packer and lifelong resident of Stehekin.
Ray Courtney died in an accident while leading such a pack trip with 29 hikers when the horse he was riding lost its footing and fell down a gully.
As fronts approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades (Orographic lift).
With its impressive height, Courtney Peak can have snow on it in late-spring and early-fall, and can be very cold in the winter.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks, ridges, and deep glacial valleys.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to the various climate differences.
In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.

As early as 1933, Alksandr Moskalyev was designing a rocket-powered, tailless aircraft with an ogival or gothic delta wing, wingtip fins and rudders, which would be able to fly faster than sound.
Because no sufficiently powerful engines were available at the time, the Moskalyev SAM-4 Sigma never left the drawing board but it did lead to two interim types, the SAM-7 Sigma and SAM-9 Strela.
The all-metal Sigma was intended to investigate the manoeuvreabilty and field of fire of a two seat, tailless, wingtip finned fighter aircraft, using a less radical low aspect ratio, trapezoidal plan wing.
The Sigma was powered by a V-12 Mikulin AM-34 engine mounted ahead of the wing leading edge and driving a four blade, wooden propeller.
It was judged dangerous to fly as it was hard to keep straight during take-offs and had a high landing speed of .
Potentilla argentea, known as hoary cinquefoil, silver cinquefoil, silvery cinquefoil, or silver-leaf cinquefoil, is a perennial herb (or forb) in the family Rosaceae.

Elizabeth's mother Anna Park first met Burns when she was only 21 and following an adulterous affair with the poet whilst Jean was away visiting relatives at Mauchline, gave birth to Elizabeth on 31 March 1791 just a few days before his wife Jean Armour gave birth to his legitimate son, William Nicol Burns.
Anna Park is said to have given up Elizabeth to Robert Burns in 1793 when was seeking a position as a domestic servant.
The birth is said to have taken place in Leith where she was sent so that the birth would not lead to Burns being the subject of scandal.
She received, at the age of 21, the sum of £200 from the fund raised by her father's admirers as organised by Sir James Shaw.
They married on 2 June 1808 in Dumfries at Robert Burns's house and the very next day he was ordered with his regiment to Berwick-on-Tweed where he was based for a year and his son William was born there.
John was moved again and sent Betty and William to stay with his parents in Pollokshaws, Glasgow, until he left the militia in 1814, taking up the trade of handloom weaving, and remaining in Pollockshaws until their deaths.
The £200 she received from the fund set up by Sir James Shaw enabled her to rent and furnish their first house and she worked at needle-flowering for a local warehouses.
16 December 1817, d. 14 April 1887; Agnes Thomson b. c 1821, d. 6 May 1865; Sarah Burns Thomson b. c 1825, d. 15 December 1885; James Glencairn Thomson b.
He married Elizabeth McNaught, had nine children and worked as a handloom and power-loom weaving becoming a manager at Scott's textile factory and later setting up his own brush manufacturing business in Stockwell Street.
Janet Elsie-May Coom, the great, great, great granddaughter of Robert Burns, through Anna Park, was made an honorary member of the Irvine Burns Club in January 2009.
They are both buried in the Thomson family lair at the Old Burgher churchyard at the Vennel, known today as the Kirk Lane Burial Ground in Pollokshaws and Robert Burns Thomson, their second son, composed stanzas that are carved on their gravestone.
James Glencairn Thomson died aged eighty-four in 1911, the last survivor of the family, and the two brothers lie beside their parents.
Betty kept in contact with the family and in November 1819 Isobel Begg, Burns' youngest sister, relates in a letter that Betty's husband had been out of work for some time and was now working as a labourer earning nine shillings a week except for when the weather was bad.
In 1843 she wrote to Isobel Begg nee Burns recalling that she had named her children James and Sarah at the behest of Jean Armour and that in 1833 Jean had sent her £2 to purchase a frock for her youngest child.
The letter to Isobel dated from after Jean's death and in it she was highly complimentary about Jean, the lady who had raised her.
She felt that the Burns family did not accept her, most notably through her exclusion from the Burns Festival in Ayr of 1844.
Brown records that two of Anna's grandsons were however feted at the 1859 Glasgow Anniversary Celebrations held at the King's Arms Hall in the Trongate, being the sons therefore of her daughter Betty and John Thomson.
MerchantBridge & Co. Ltd. was a London-based boutique private equity firm that specialized in investments in the Middle East and especially Iraq, where it was one of the largest such firms.
The firm was founded by Basil Al Rahim – who came from a wealthy Iraqi family and was a former executive for The Carlyle Group – in 2001, with a number of wealthy figures from Arab and Gulf countries as partners.
A number of prominent Britons became advisors to MerchantBridge, including Norman Lamont, Peter Palumbo, Baron Palumbo, Elizabeth Symons, Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean, and Andrew Buxton.
If the economic experiment goes right, we will see gross domestic product in Iraq grow 15-fold in the next seven or eight years.
According to the organization Corporate Watch, MerchantBridge ranked 44th out of 66 UK companies in terms of making money in post-invasion Iraq.
MerchantBridge engaged in a number of investments elsewhere in the Middle East, such as a 2008 one with UBS that enabled the Swiss bank to set up operations in Saudi Arabia.
Given the difficulties of the Iraqi post-war insurgency and sectarian violence in that country, the business environment was a challenge, but by 2009 about a third of MerchantBridge's revenues came from investments in Iraq.
The firm did sometimes branch into other areas, such as the 2011 creation of the company UnXis, in partnership with Stephen Norris Capital Partners, to purchase the assets of troubled US software company The SCO Group.
On 4 February 2011, founder and CEO Basil Al Rahim was one of seven people who died in a plane crash aboard a company private jet flying from Sulaimaniyah International Airport in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, which crashed shortly after takeoff following an engine fire.
Another MerchantBridge founding partner, Abdullah Lahoud, as well as two bankers from JP Morgan and three aircraft personnel, also died in the crash.
There was a legal dispute between Al Rahim's estate and shareholders of the firm regarding an investment the firm had made in Iraqi telecommunications company Asiacell.
By 2014, Al Rahim's estate, and some of the companies that MerchantBridge had invested in, were caught up before the High Court of Justice in London in another legal dispute, involving claims by a founding partner of the firm that Al Rahim had short-changed him regarding the investment in Asiacell.

A parody of conventional dating sims, the primary objective of the player is to develop a romantic relationship with a fictionalized version of KFC's founder Colonel Sanders, portrayed as an attractive classmate at a cooking school.
The game takes place over a three-day semester at the fictional University of Cooking School: Academy for Learning, where the player character is studying to become a chef.
The player is presented with dialog choices that present opportunities to win Sanders' favor, as well as interact with the other characters in the story, including the player's best friend Miriam, rivals Aeshleigh and Van Van the Man Man, Sprinkles/Professor Dog, and other students Bob, Clank the robot, and the nameless Student.
Some of the few negative user reviews complained that the game prevented the player from fully consummating the relationship with Colonel Sanders.
Deer day is an unofficial holiday held on the first day of the hunting season in many rural areas of the United States in which school districts are often closed.

SS would periodically conduct selections of prisoners; those deemed incapable of work were deported to Auschwitz II-Birkenau, where many of them were killed.
Prisoners had to work on construction tasks, such as excavation, building structures, and pulling wagons in place of horses or tractors.
The camp was evacuated on the morning of 21 January 1945 due to the approach of the Red Army; prisoners from camps farther east, including Jaworzno and Gleiwitz, were marched through Blechhammer.
About 4,000 prisoners were given half a loaf of bread with a bit of margarine and honey and a half sausage, and no more food until they arrived at Gross-Rosen concentration camp on 2 February.
Around 100 sick prisoners were left behind in the infirmary, although some healthier prisoners, fearing another death march, managed to hide because the SS did not conduct a thorough search.
They ordered some of the healthier prisoners to dig a pit in order to bury the dead and shot some prisoners who had been scavenging for food from what the SS had left behind.
Witnesses disagree on whether they were Wehrmacht soldiers or SS; Daniel Blatman suggests that they may have been newly recruited camp guards still wearing their Wehrmacht uniforms.
The soldiers first vandalized the abandoned SS office at the camp; then they went inside and began to shoot incapacitated prisoners in the infirmary.
Those still able to walk were ordered to carry the corpses to the trenches dug the previous week, where they too were shot.
The massacre may have occurred because of an order given by Ernst-Heinrich Schmauser on 24 January not to leave a single live prisoner behind, but there is no proof that the murderers knew of the order.
It was not the only incident in which SS returned to an abandoned camp in order to kill the remaining prisoners; a similar massacre occurred at Tschechowitz-Vacuum, another subcamp of Auschwitz.

The Tikka M55 (originally Tikka M76 and also Tikka LSA55) is a Finnish rifle designed by a Finnish firearms company Tikkakoski in 1967–1968.
Tikkakoski company, which had been under German ownership, was expropriated in 1944 and handed over to the Soviet Union in 1947 as ruled by the Moscow Armistice.
After a group of Finnish businessmen bought Tikkakoski company from the Soviet Union in 1957, the company started focusing again in firearms in 1963, and first prototypes of a repeating centerfire rifle were manufactured in 1967, and the final product, the production of which began in 1968, was named the M76.
The M76 was the first repeating centerfire rifle developed and produced completely by Tikkakoski, as the interwar military rifles were built on recycled foreign receivers.
The new rifle got its name from the year 1967 with its numbers in reverse as M76, but the name was changed to LSA55 after export to the United States began in 1969.
The rifle was based on a Tikkakoski prototype from 1981, though Tikkakoski and SAKO also developed a newer prototype called Tikka M555, but it was never put to production.
After a review ordered by SAKO from a Finnish gunsmith Jali Timari turned out to criticise the rifle in a rather negative tone, the project was shelved.
In 1987 the Tikkakoski factory was run down, all its machinery was destroyed, and production of Tikka rifles was transferred to SAKO factory at Riihimäki.

The Vyborg Treaty was a package of 7 documents signed in Vyborg during 1609 between Sweden and Russia on the provision by Sweden of military assistance to the government of Vasily Shuisky.
Under the terms of the agreement and the secret protocol thereto, Sweden provided a mercenary corps, paid for by Russia, in exchange for the Korela Fortress with a county.
In 1609–1610, the Swedish auxiliary corps under the command of Jacob Delagardi participated in battles against the supporters of False Dmitry II and the Polish interventionists.
After the overthrow of Shuisky, Delagardi, under the pretext of non-fulfillment by the Russians of the terms of the treaty, in 1610–1613 captured Novgorod and a number of other northern Russian cities, further drawing Sweden into the Russian Troubles.
The government of Mikhail Romanov during the years 1614–1617 held negotiations to end the occupation, but the Swedes insisted on territorial concessions.
The negotiations were held in the midst of repeatedly renewed hostilities and culminated in the signing of the Treaty of Stolbovo.
With the advent of the first news of the pretender to the Moscow throne announced in Poland and his support by the Poles, Charles IX began to pay more attention to the situation in the east.
On the one hand, Sweden fought with Poland and it was impossible to allow its strengthening due to Russian lands or its rapprochement with Russia.
On the other hand, a peace treaty was recently signed with Russia, according to which Sweden had to return most of Ingermanland.
Having decided to use the difficult situation of the Moscow government and at the same time to tie the forces of the Commonwealth, the king at the beginning of 1604 offered a large army to help Boris Godunov.
The price of military support was supposed to be the transfer of Sweden to the cities of Ivangorod, Yam, Koporye and Korela.
Due to the sudden death of Boris Godunov, negotiations did not take place, and False Dmitry I soon ascended the throne.
At the end of 1606, when the south of the country was gripped by a peasant uprising, and later, in May 1608, when the units of False Dmitry II approached Moscow, Karl was thinking about an open attack on the bordering Russian lands.
In the summer of 1608, the situation of Vasily Shuisky became critical – Moscow was besieged by the Tushins, and on August 10 the tsar himself sent a letter to the Swedish king asking for military assistance.
On the Swedish side, Mons Mortensson, an officer of the Commander-in-Chief in the Baltic, Friedrich Mansfeld, went to Novgorod for preliminary negotiations.
By the end of November, they agreed to send a Swedish auxiliary corps to Russia of 5 thousand people and to pay large salaries to the mercenaries by the Moscow government.
The news of the upcoming arrival of the traditional enemy, the Swedes, caused discontent among the inhabitants of the border cities, one by one they went over to the side of False Dmitry II: first Pskov, then Korela and Oreshek.
In early February 1609, in Vyborg, in the Round Tower of the Vyborg Fortress, negotiations began on the terms of the contract.
The king of Sweden in the negotiations was represented by, among others, a member of the State Council (Riksrod) Joran Boye and the regional judge of Karelia, the commandant of Vyborg Arvid Tönnesson Wildman.
On the Russian side there were two ambassadors – the stolnik Semyon Vasilyevich Golovin, brother-in-law of Mikhail Skopin-Shuisky, and the clerk Sydavny Vasilyevich Zinoviev.
After that, the ambassadors proposed to all members of the Russian embassy to leave the premises, and they swore an oath from the Swedish representatives to keep further negotiations secret.
As a result, a secret protocol to the treaty was signed, according to which the Korela Fortress with the county was ceded to perpetual possession.
Nevertheless, the secrecy of the additional negotiations was caused by the fear that the voluntary cession of the state's territory would further increase the king's discontent in the country.
A separate line was the obligation of both parties not to conclude separate treaties with the Poles, and the Treaty of Teusina, concluded 13 years earlier, was also ratified.
The secret protocol stipulated that after 3 weeks after the Swedish troops crossed the border, the commander of the Swedish corps Delagardi will be awarded with confirmation letters signed by Skopin-Shuisky, and after another 2 months – letters signed by the tsar.
Upon the arrival of the Delagardi corps in Novgorod, Skopin-Shuisky really gave him letters of confirmation to the contract and the secret protocol.
After the battle near Tver, a revolt occurred in the Delagardi corps, mainly due to the irregular payment of salaries, most of the mercenaries deserted.
The significantly thinned corps went to Valdai, where by autumn Delagardi still received some confirmation from the tsar of the terms of the agreement and two more letters of confirmation from Kalyazin from Skopin-Shuisky addressed to him and the Swedish king.

Vertigo is an album by Australian improvised music trio The Necks first released on the Fish of Milk label in 2015 in Australia, on ReR Megacorp in Europe, and on the Northern Spy label in the US.

These are the parts that should, in theory, coalesce into shapes and patterns that feel familiar, but the Necks are true trance soul rebels, dizzy abstractionists bent on meditative delirium — the sort of frazzled centered headspace you settle into after sitting and thinking for far too long.

The most extreme flooding occurred during Superstorm Sandy, with a high water mark in the Woodbridge River of 12 feet; low-lying areas along the lower river have only a six-seven foot elevation above sea level.
Prolonged coastal storms (nor'easters), which combine tidal and fluvial flooding, along with flow constrictions, cause an increase in the duration of flooding of the Woodbridge River and its tributaries, which may last for days before water levels subside.
In the most affected area from Hurricane Sandy, Watson-Cramptom, prior to 2009 the area adjacent to the Woodbridge River was zoned for high density residential housing, including the area consisting of wetlands and meadows.
After Sandy, using money from the New Jersey Buyout Program, Woodbridge bought out and demolished many residential properties in the flood hazard areas.
In Woodbridge not everybody wants to sell; 2050, when the properties have a high probability of severe damage from rising sea levels, seems too far in the future for some.

The Fourth Transformation refers to Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s (AMLO) 2018 campaign promise to do away with privileged abuses that have plagued Mexico in recent years.
AMLO wants to lower salaries for not only the president but also Cabinet members and high-level bureaucrats, justices of the Supreme Court (SCJN), legislators, and members of independent agencies such as the electoral commission (INE) and the census office (INEGI).
In addition to salaries, AMLO mentions luxury vehicles including airplanes and helicopters; expensive private health insurance in addition to the program for government officials (ISSSTE); expense accounts for bodyguards, gasoline, cell phones, and food; and a lack of transparency.
In a speech given at the end of his campaign for president, Lopez Obrador spelled out what he means by the Fourth Transformation.
He said the security services would be reformed so that no one was spied upon and religion, ideas, and the right to descent would be respected.
He called for an end of corruption and said the law should apply not only to government officials but also to their families.
He insisted that luxuries, such as high salaries for government officials, the presidential airplane and official residence, bodyguards, and presidential pensions should be cut or eliminated.
AMLO also called for increased attention to the needs of rural communities, revitalization of the construction industry, improvements in the energy sector, pensions for elderly Mexicans, free medicine, and improved education with access for all.

Iturbide, Guerrero, and Victoria marched on Mexico City; on September 27, 1821, they defeated the Spanish and Mexico consolidated its independence.
Iturbide became emperor of the new nation, but three years later he was deposed and a republic was established with Guadalupe Victoria as its first president.
The liberals won the war, but the war left the country weak, and it was soon followed by the French intervention, and the establishment of the Second Mexican Empire with Maximilian I of Austria as emperor (1864-1867).
After an unsuccessful electoral campaign against President and dictator Porfirio Díaz, on November 20, 1910, Francisco I. Madero called the Mexican people to arms.
In 30 years of rule, Diaz had modernized the country and established a growing economy, but he had done so by granting numerous concessions to British and American investors while denying basic liberties to peasant farmers, miners, and workers.
Madero’s moderate reforms were not satisfactory to peasant leaders such as Poncho Villa in the north and Emiliano Zapata in the south.
Madero was overthrown by the army and assassinated in early 1913 by Victoriano Huerta, who after thirteen months of harsh rule and fierce fighting was overthrown and executed.
There were numerous small bands led by local warlords; eventually, many of them gave up while others united under Venustiano Carranza.

A year after the election and seven months since he took office, President López Obrador stated that he had fulfilled 78 of the 100 promises he had made, including ending the Drug War.

MXN $219 is destined for the port of Topolobampo, Sinaloa and the port in Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán is scheduled to receive MXN $41 million.
Thirty-three projects may begin in 2020 with an investment of MXN $78 billion—other airport investments, railroads, highways, a new hospital for Torreón, Coahuila, and other energy projects.
Fourteen projects worth MXN $21.356 billion (US $14 million), including the expansion of the Cuautitlán-Huehuehuetoca train in the State of Mexico, are planned for 2021.
During the 2018 campaign for president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador opposed the construction of the Mexico City Texcoco Airport (NAIM), the principal infrastructure project of President Enrique Peña Nieto.
He said it would be better to convert the military base of Santa Lucia in Zumpango, State of Mexico, to civilian use.
Ending the Texcoco project was highly controversial so after winning the election Lopez Obrador decided to submit the proposal to the people of Mexico.
The option to convert the Santa Lucia airport to civilian use and to improve the existing Benito Juárez International Airport and Toluca International Airports won with 69.95% of the votes: 748,335 for Santa Lucia and 311,132 in favor of Texcoco.
It will have two runways for civilian use and one for military use and is scheduled to open on March 21, 2022.
The Maya Train project, first proposed in September 2018, is a 1,525-kilometer (948-mile) railroad that will traverse the Yucatán Peninsula in the hopes of boosting tourism and boost the economy in one of the most marginalized areas of the country.
Critics worry about environmental effects, threats to local indigenous cultures, and economic benefits that will include communities that do not have one of the 18 stops along the route.
Another concern is that construction seems to be rushed in the hope of finishing before the end of AMLO's term in 2024.
The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) promises to resist construction of the train, and the Mexico office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (ONU-DH) has criticized the consultation process, saying it fell short of international standards.
Giovanna Gasparello of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) points out that there no studies linking the project and development have been published.
93% of the 100,940 people who voted in the referendum supported the project, but they represent only 2.86% of the 3,526,000 registered voters.
Fuel theft from pipelines owned by Pemex, has been a long-term problem in Mexico, with a loss to the government of between MXN $15 and $20 billion (US $80 to $106 million) every year.
The plan began on December 21, 2018, and involved closing and monitoring pipelines, particularly in the states of Puebla, Guanajuato, Jalisco, and the State of México.
It soon led to fuel shortages in the west and center of the country, despite the dispatch of numerous fuel trucks to supply local gas stations.
A memorial for the victims was built in 2020, and each family effected was granted MXN $15,000 (US $800) in compensation.

Fang Zengxian (; 1931 – 3 December 2019) was a Chinese painter and art educator, considered a founder of the Zhe(jiang) style of figure painting.
In July 1949, Fang entered the National Academy of Art (now China Academy of Art) in Hangzhou to study oil painting.
Fang became a faculty member of the guohua department in 1955, and spent three months painting at the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang.
He and Zhou Changgu, also a 1953 graduate of the academy, became its most influential guohua instructors despite their lack of long apprenticeship considered a crucial part of traditional guohua training.
Their style was further developed by their students such as Liu Wenxi, who disseminated it to other parts of the country.
In 1978, Fang was elected a delegate to the 5th National People's Congress, and proposed the rebuilding of the Huang Binhong Museum and the establishment of the Pan Tianshou Museum.
Fang transferred to the Shanghai Chinese Painting Academy in 1983 and became its vice president the following year, serving until 1991.

It defines civil and administrative penalties, as well as the possibility of reductions in penalties for cooperation with law enforcement under a written leniency agreement signed and agreed to between the business and the government.
The law is directed only at juridical persons which includes corporations and other institutions, but not individuals, who are covered by other laws.
The Act has been invoked numerous times, resulting in leniency agreements returning billions of reals to the Brazilian Treasury, notably the agreement with Odebrecht S.A., which by itself was responsible for twelve billion reals.
Criminal liability in Brazil due to acts of corruption applies only to individuals, so there is no possibility of criminal liability for a corporation.
To avoid more serious penalties resulting from corruption investigations, companies may decide to cooperate with the investigation voluntarily, and enter into a as prescribed by the law.
Other advantages to self-disclosure and signing a leniency agreement include exemption from other provisions of the Clean Company Act which otherwise requires publication of the legal decision imposing the fines, a prohibition from receiving grants from public institutions, and restrictions on taking part in bids on public projects.
Provisional Measure 703/2015 made it easier for companies to apply for the benefits of a leniency agreement, and also changed the nature of the benefits.
Under the law, companies are responsible for corruption and can face heavy penalties, a restriction on participation in future bids, confiscation of their assets, suspension of business activity, or dissolution.
Brazilian companies have been involved in corruption investigations in countries outside Brazil, some in collaboration with Brazilian justice, and have paid fines in agreements reached in such procedures.
The most notable such case was the investigation of Brazilian construction corporation Odebrecht carried out by the United States and Switzerland with the cooperation of the Brazilian government.
As a result of the investigation into kickbacks paid to hundreds of politicians, including presidential candidates, as well as to judges on the Supreme Federal Court, Odebrecht agreed to pay a record fine of R$ 6 billion (R$ billion) in a leniency agreement.
Clean Company leniency agreements in Brazil apply exclusively to juridical persons, i.e., corporations or other business entities, but not individuals, and are not the same as plea bargain agreements () which apply only to natural persons, i.e., people.
Individuals accused of involvement in corruption schemes may enter into plea bargains with the Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF) on their own.

In 1869, when John Heaton published 'Heaton's Process for the Treatment of Cast Iron and the Manufacture of Steel', cast iron was a readily available material, but converting it to steel was a slow, expensive, laborious process.
John Heaton formalized a process (specifying sodium nitrate instead of potassium) and designed equipment which made the comingling of the nitrate and the liquid cast iron reliable and repeatable, something that had until then been impractical.
Another English metallurgist, Henry Bessemer had just created the Bessemer process of blowing air or pure oxygen through liquid cast iron to burn off the carbon.
Heaton conducted a long and protracted legal battle with Henry Bessemer who believed that the Heaton Process was included in the Bessemer process through some early patent applications.

A veteran of the Peninsular War in the Royal Engineers, in later life he took on a wide range of engineering work, including mining in Mexico.
The third son of Robert Vetch of Caponflat, Haddington, East Lothian, and his wife Agnes Sharp, he was born at Haddington on 13 May 1789.
Educated at Haddington and Edinburgh, he entered the Royal Military College, Great Marlow, and in 1805 was transferred to the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich.
He was employed on the trigonometrical survey at Oakingham, Berkshire (1806), until he received a commission as second lieutenant in the Royal Engineers on 1 July 1807.
After serving for three years, partly at Chatham and partly at Plymouth, he was sent in 1810 to Spain, and joined the division of Sir Thomas Graham at the blockade of Cadiz.

Republic of Philippines v. Pimentel, , is a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States which clarified the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as regards money damages sought by a foreign government, the Republic of the Philippines, via its Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG).
The case stemmed out of disputes surrounding one of the overseas investments and bank accounts of Ferdinand Marcos, Arelma S.A.. Marcos was President of the Philippines until being overthrown in the People Power Revolution.
As early as 1986, the account of Arelma S.A. was targeted by the PCGG as being ill-gotten money of the Marcos regime.
Arelma S.A. owned assets both in Switzerland and in the US in the custody of Merrill Lynch & Co.; these assets were frozen in 1990.
The Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland ruled in 1997 that the funds owned by Arelma S.A. were the property of the Republic of the Philippines, and remitted them to the Republic, with certain conditions, in 1998.
The Pimentel class sought to compel Merrill Lynch & Co. to release the assets they held on behalf of Arelma S.A. to them.
Various creditors, including the Republic, also sought the same assets, arguing that as the crimes occurred in the Philippines and all victims were Filipino, Philippine courts (in this case, the Sandiganbayan) ought to disburse the funds according to Philippine law, which in the case of graft, provides that the funds rightly belong to the state.
Merill Lynch, unsure who to release the assets to, filed an interpleader action asking that all of the lawsuits which make claims against the Arelma assets be consolidated into one action.
The Republic, however, felt that it should not have to argue its case in court; that is to say, the Republic, being a foreign sovereign, did not feel that it could submit to a US court in this instance for a ruling.
Swift, on the other hand, argued that the Republic had no right to appeal; when they invoked their right to sovereign immunity, they were not a party to the lower court's judgment, and only parties may appeal.
Instead, Justice Souter argued that the Court should have ruled that the District Court's judgment be vacated and a stay placed until the Sandiganbayan rules with finality on whether or not the Republic owns the assets in question.
The practical effect of the decision was a prioritizing of the Republic's claims to assets over those of human rights victims.
As a result of the ruling, all assets ruled by the Sandiganbayan to be ill-gotten gains of Ferdinand Marcos became the property of the sovereign Republic of the Philippines, even those held by US companies.
In 2009, the Sandiganbayan finally ruled that the Arelma assets were, indeed, the Republic's property—this ruling was upheld twice by the Supreme Court of the Philippines; first in 2012, and then without possibility of further appeal in 2014.
Despite the ruling of the US Supreme Court, the Pimentel class has continued to try to get the Arelma assets in state court, where the Republic has continued to claim sovereign immunity.
As noted by Richard J. Leon, Senior United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, after the 2012 ruling, the money was finally turned over by Merill Lynch to New York City's Commissioner of Finance, who held the money between 2012 and 2017, as the Pimentel class continued to fight the forfeiture in favor of the Republic.
Judge Leon ordered the case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, where the Republic has continued to fight for the funds.

Despite the United States never becoming an official member of the League of Nations, American individuals and organizations interacted with the League throughout its existence.
The American President, Woodrow Wilson, was involved in the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 at the conclusion of World War I.
At this conference, Wilson played a key role along with other powers in fashioning the terms of the Treaty of Versailles.
His ideas surrounding a postwar world order were earlier expressed in his Fourteen Points, and these were discussed in the series of discussions held.
One of the key features of the agreement that Wilson campaigned for was the establishment of a international body which would work to maintain the political freedom and independence of nations all around the world.
Despite Woodrow Wilson chairing the committee which drafted the Treaty of Versailles Covenant, America voted against becoming official members of the League of Nations in 1919.
Historians have explored a variety of reasons as to why exactly the Senate refused to approve the Treaty of Versailles, naming the hostility between President Wilson and Republican senator, Henry Cabot Lodge, and Wilson's declining health as key explanations.
Furthermore, the United States would never become a member of the League of Nations, as a two-thirds majority was never granted in the Senate.
A notable American organisation involved with the League of Nations was the Rockefeller Foundation, as many of its goals and aspirations were similar to those of the League.
Debates surrounding the United States' policy of isolationism in international affairs during the 1920s and 1930s have been held since contemporary politicians were making these decisions.
However, according to Thompson, it was the Manchurian Crisis of 1931-1932 that made Secretary of State, Henry L. Stimson support the position that isolationism was no longer an option for the United States.
Despite the American emphasize on their individuality from the League of Nations, a commission of inquiry sent to Japan in February 1932 was representative of the great powers, including the United States.
The American absence in the League of Nations did not prevent the nation from becoming an official member of the United Nations, formed at the conclusion of the Second World War.
The United States was one of five permanent members of the Supreme Council, with the other four countries the USSR, France, Nationalist China, and Britain.
The membership of the United States and the USSR in the United Nations is a key difference between the post-World War II international organization and the League of Nations.
The Days () is a novelized autobiography in three volumes by the Egyptian professor Taha Hussein, published between 1926 and 1967.
It covers the author's childhood, with themes of the ignorance prevalent in rural Egypt and the customs practiced at that time, and provides a detailed description of traditional Islamic education.
There are many references to the art of listening and descriptive details about the way things smell or feel, as Hussein subtly reveals that he has gone blind.
It covers the time from his entrance into Al-Azhar to his entrance into Cairo University, focusing on his rebellion against his teachers and the traditions of Al-Azhar.
It is about the author's time at Cairo University, then his studies in France, where he obtained a doctorate degree, and finally his return to Egypt, where he became a professor.
The stylistic techniques employed by Hussein, especially the ironic dialogue between the narrator and the Hussein's childhood self, had a significant impact on the development of the Arabic novel.
The Montagne de l'Épaule (English: Mountain of the Shoulder) peaks at in Jacques-Cartier National Park, in the municipality of Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury , in La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, Canada.
The Montagne de l'Épaule is wedged between the Jacques-Cartier River which flows on the west side and the Rivière à l'Épaule which is on the east side.
A hiking trail designated L'Éperon stretching over bypasses the Mountain de l'Épaule to reach its summit which culminates at of altitude.

He was educated in Montpelier and farmed until 1841, when he moved to Burlington, Vermont to become a clerk in the J.
In September 1855, Dodge moved to San Francisco, California, where he was a partner with his brother Henry L. Dodge and others in a wholesale mercantile business.
In addition to his banking career, Dodge was involved with several Burlington civic causes, including serving as an officer of the Young Men's Association, a captain in a volunteer fire company, and a member of the city's Board of Trade.
Among the highlights of Dodge's term was presiding over the dedication of a statue of Ethan Allen, which was placed at Burlington's Greenmount Cemetery in July 1873.
In April 1877, Dodge returned to San Francisco, where he was a partner with E. W. Forsaith in the Forsaith & Dodge wholesale mercantile business.
Dodge sold his share of the business in 1882 and moved to Idaho, where he was a partner with his brothers Omri and Nathan in a lumber business that manufactured sashes, doors, and other building materials.
In 1883 the lumber mill, factory, and a large stock of raw lumber, glass, and finished wood products were destroyed by fire.
Between 1884 and 1890, he was employed by several businesses, including superintendent of the Coos Bay Stave and Lumber Company and superintendent of Pacific Woodenware and Cooperage.
In March 1890, Dodge was appointed cashier in the office of the U.S. Internal Revenue Collector for San Francisco, a position he held until the late 1890s.

The Glenriddell Manuscripts is an extensive collection written in holograph by Robert Burns and an amanuensis of his letters, poems and a few songs in two volumes produced for his then friend Captain Robert Riddell, Laird of what is now Friars Carse in the Nith Valley, Dumfries and Galloway.
The first volume of poems and songs was completed by April 1791 and was presented to Robert Riddell, however their friendship ceased due to the unfortunate 'The Rape of the Sabine Women' incident and Robert Riddell died shortly after before any reconciliation could take place.
The first volume is partly in Burns's hand with an amanuensis contributing much of the text in a far neater hand than the author himself.
Burns went to considerable efforts to get the first volume returned after Robert Riddell's death on 20 April 1794 and added extra material once it was back in his hands.
After Burns's death the manuscripts were put into the hands of James Currie at Liverpool, his biographer, however they were not automaticaly returned to the Burns family after his biography of Burns was published and he died before he could publish an improved biography.
In 1853 when William died his widow, without permission, offered them to a private gentlemen's club known as the Liverpool Athenaeum where they resided, forgotten in a box for circa twenty years, until in 1873 Mr. Henry A.
The club eventually decided to sell the manuscripts in what is likely to have been an illegal transaction, despite vociferous objections and the establishment of a 'Scots Committee' under the chairmanship of Lord Rosebery who intended to take action in the courts.
The Liverpool Athenaeum added 'insult to injury' by revealing that they would use the proceeds of the sale to establish a 'Currie Memorial Fund'.
Miss Annie Burns Burns of Cheltenham, the poet's only surviving grandchild, was appointed the Executrix Dative of Robert Burns with a strong legal case for the manuscripts return to the family, however the Liverpool Athenaeum refused.
J. W. Hornstein, a London bookdealer, purchased the manuscripts for £5000 by private treaty from Sotheby's and sold them to an American client, who was not however as is sometimes stated, J. Pierpoint Morgan.
In late 1913 the businessman and antiquarian collector John Gribbel was approached with a view to a sale to him of the Glenriddell Manuscripts.
On 21 November 1913 John Gribbel purchased the Glenriddell Manuscripts and on the same day notified Lord Rosebery, Chairman of the Scots Committee, that he intended them to be a gift to the Scottish people in perpetuity and they were one of the first significant donations to the newly created National Library of Scotland.
His donation of the Glenriddell Manuscripts to the National Library of Scotland on behalf of the people of Scotland was his best known act of philanthropy.
The first volume held an introduction signed by John Gribbel in holograph; the letter from the Scots Committee; a letter from the printer confirming the destruction of the plates; a copy of the Deed of Trust and at the end of the first volume a facsimile of the letter from the widow of William Wallace Currie offering the manuscripts to the Liverpool Athenaeum.
After the cessation of hostilities John Gribbel and his family visited Scotland in the summer of 1920 and they were the honoured guests at several celebratory meals as well as being given an accompanied tour of many of the Burns related sites in Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway.
An addition to the story is that he visited the Kilmaurs teacher, Dr Duncan McNaught, who had been on the 'Scots Committee', was instrumental in the founding of what became the Robert Burns World Federation and was for over thirty years the editor of the 'Burns Chronicle'.
Duncan was acknowledged as one of the world's greatest experts on Robert Burns and had put together what John Gribbel regarded as being the greatest collection of Burnsiana, artifacts with over 600 publications, owning no less that two copies of the Kilmarnock Edition, an uncut example of his having alone been valued at £1000 in circa 1920.
One copy of his Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect's is now held by Cornell University and the second is at the University of Delaware.
Egerer however records fifty-seven and twenty-seven possibly as a result of Burns's having also added extra stanzas or updates that have sometimes been counted as free standing poems.
The autobiographical letter to Dr Moore was also included in the first volume, written almost entirely in the hand of the unnamed amanuensis.
Burns added various footnotes throughout the work, such as the detailed notes where he disowns the spelling, punctuation, incorrect titles, etc.
in the Dr Moore letter.Burns mentions that the amanuensis was a clergyman whilst chiding him for the errors he had made.
The pages have been numbered with the number placed in the centre of the top of the page and bracketed on the amanuenis's work and unbracketed on the top right or left of the page on those with Burns's writing, but not always on the fore-edge side.
On page 164, in a new hand, is a contents page that lists the categories of the works, their length in pages used and the identity of the writer as 'Burns' or 'Amanuensis'.
In Volume 2 the first six pages are blank although numbered an throughout all 103 pages Burns placed the bracketed page number at the top centre.
The page opposite Mrs Currie's letter is covered with mainly crossed out numbers that may relate to the 'calculations' for the aforementioned 'Contents' page.
John Beugo's portrait of Burns is included in both volumes of the work, known as such because he engraved the copper plate required for the printing process.
Alexander Nasmyth was a landscape painter and was a reluctant portrait painter, however he met with Burns and they became friends, resulting in Nasmyth producing a portrait which he never fully completed due to his concern over spoiling what he had already achieved.

Shi'ism was properly introduced by Mir Shams-ud Din Iraqi whose grandfather Syed Muhammad Noor Bakhsh belonged to the Sufi order of Mir Syed Ali Hamdani and had huge following base in Iran, Qandhar, Kabul and Kashmir.
In 1505 CE, the King of the Shah Mir Dynasty converted to Shi'ism and so did the Chak clan of Kashmir.
Mir Shams-ud Din Iraqi traveled in the valleys of Himalayas and spread Shi'ism from Skardu to Tibet, converting thousands of Hindus and Buddhists to Shi'ism.
In 1753 CE Kashmir got conquered by Ahmad Shah Abdali, whose descendants ruled over Kashmir untill they lost it to Sikhs in 1819 CE.
The Kashmir valley came under the Dogra rule with the treaty of Amritsar signed between the British and Maharajah Gulab Singh of Jammu in 1846.
found chiefly at Zadibal, about two koss to the north of Srinagar, at Nandapor and Hassanabad, near to the city lake.
Though so few in number, the men of this sect form the most active, industrious, and well-to-do portion of the Mohamedan community.
In 1532 CE, Sultan Said Khan dispatched an army under the command of Mirza Haider Dughlat that attacked Kashmir from Kashgar.
He returned in 1540 CE, accompanied by Mughal troops, at the invitation of one of the two rival factions that continually fought for power in Kashmir.
In 1550 CE, on the recommendation of fanatic Sunni elites Edi Reinah and Haji Banday and clerics Qazi Ibrahim and Qazi Abdul Ghafoor, he destroyed the Shia neighborhoods, dug the grave of Mir Shams-ud Din Iraqi and burnt his corpse, and killed hundreds of Shias including Mir Danial, the son of Mir Shams-ud Din Iraqi.
This sparked an all-out Shia uprising and Dughlat was assassinated by the end of the same year and the Chak rule was restored.
When the Chak troops went outside to face the Mughal army, Sunni rebels set the Shia neighborhood of Zadibal on fire, looted their belongings and raped the Shia women.
In 1636 CE, while people were picking fruits, an argument started between a Shia and a Sunni and it escalated to an all-out attack on the Shia neighborhoods.
The Shia neighborhood of Zadibal was destroyed, inhabitants slaughtered, and the tomb of Mir Shams-ud Din Iraqi was burnt to the ground.
In 1686 CE, the fourth Taraaj started with a financial matter between a Shia businessman Abdul Shakoor and a Sunni fanatic.
The governor Ibrahim Khan offered him security and tried to control the situation, but the Sunni clerics managed to bring in millitias of Sunni Pashtun tribesmen from as far as Kabul, led by Alaf Khan, Farid Khan and Mirza Muqim, etc.
This affair led to riots, the fanatics among the Sunnis started to attack Hindu properties, and police had to use force to protect them.
The supporters of Mulla, led by his son Sharaf-ud Din, attacked the Shia neighborhood of Zadibal, and set it on fire.
Some women and children tried to hide in the tomb of Mir Shams-ud Din Iraqi, but when the Sunni mob reached there, the tomb was set on fire and those hiding inside were burnt alive.
Since the reign of Emperor Aurangzeb, the Shias were supposed to provide the new carpets every year for Jamia Masjid, Srinagar.
In 1872 CE, during the yearly gathering (Urs) at the Shrine of a Sunni sufi saint Syed Muhammad Madani, the Sunnis demolished parts of the Shia mosque nearby.
The Shias fled in every direction, some seeking safety on the adjacent mountains, while others remained in the city in secret lurking places.
Many of the women and children of the Shias found an asylum from the hands of their infuriated co-religionists in the houses of the Hindu portion of the community.
The Mont Andante culminates at in the western part of Jacques-Cartier National Park, in the unorganized territory of Lac-Croche, in the La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, Canada.
To reach it from the entrance to the park, it is necessary to take the Chemin du Parc-National until km 30 where a parking lot is provided.
From there, hikers cross the bridge on the other side of the road and follow the directions for Le Scotora trail.
This stony path is under forest cover and runs along a stream in the valley where the beavers have built dikes.
Formerly, this segment of the historic path was taken by the Amerindians and the Jesuit missionaries to walk from Quebec to their mission of Métabetchouane at lac Saint-Jean, where a fur trading post, established in 1676, was closed in 1703.
In 1989, the Commission de toponymie du Québec designated three mountains in the Jacques-Cartier National Park by the names Adagio, Allegro and Andante.
Of Italian origin, these three words correspond to three types of movements (adagio, slow; allegro, lively; andante, moderate) that one meets in classical music (symphony, concerto, sonata, etc.).
Félix Leclerc's collection of stories Adagio was published in 1943, as well as the fables and poems contained in Allegro and Andante, published in 1944.
These literary works reveal the poet's great love for nature and his deep respect for peasant morality , always steeped in the rhythm of the seasons and the needs of the land.
Félix Leclerc sang for the first time on the radio in 1939, did theater, notably with the Compagnons de Saint-Laurent, between 1943 and 1945, and founded, with others, the VLM theater troupe in 1948.
It's source has been disputed in the past although it is now accepted that the river originates in the West Rand of Gauteng in between Krugersdorp and Randfontein, at Tudor Dam, which was initially used as a storage dam for Luiperdsvlei Gold Plant.
In the past the river received a majority of it's water from karst springs along its course, the river flows through one of the richest gold producing areas in the world, which lead to the dolomitic compartments which fed the river being dewatered to make way for mining activities, this led to the drying up of the karst springs that fed the river.
The river owes its name to the number of karst springs observed along its course by the early settlers in the area.
Emile Holub wrote about the pristine beauty of the area along the river and its magnificent karst features including the river disappearing into the ground and reappearing kilometers down stream and isolated deep crystal clear pools up to 150ft deep with no apparent inlet or outlet within the vicinity of the river.
The rivers natural source is unknown, its current source is at Tudor dam which gets its water from underground pumping and urban runoff, it's heavily criticised for heavy metals and pollution in the water, from there it flows into Lancaster Dam, which has been drained as a result of the toxic water, it was once a popular recreational destination before draining.
The river currently has 6 impoundments along it's course, they include Donaldson dam Top and Bottom lakes, Abe Bailey dam and 3 small farm dams west of Welverdiend.
Abe Bailey is rich in biodiversity and is a very popular amongst bird watching enthusiast, it runs through Abe Bailey Nature Reserve which results in the nature reserve being well known for ot's world class bird watching.

Her artworks, spanning painting, mixed media works, sculpture and installations, have been widely exhibited internationally, and were featured in the press and print publications worldwide.
Sehnaoui, who was born in Beirut and received received her academic training in history, sociology, film, and the fine arts, is a pioneer of large-scale ephemeral public art installations in Lebanon and the Middle East.
Active since the early nineteen-nineties, she has been a part of shaping the postwar Lebanese artistic scene through artworks that seek to provoke a discussion around issues surrounding the memory of wars, in particular the 1975-1990 Lebanese Civil War.
She has denounced the personal and collective amnesia surrounding this conflict, as well as Lebanon's physical and political fragmentation that followed it.
Her works not only underscore the imperative of reflecting on the multiple memories of that war but also on the processes and necessity of national reconciliation.
She questions the writing of History and the construction of identity, in the Arab world and beyond, and continuously asks for reflection and rebellion against the status quo.
Sehnaoui's paintings, sculptures, and installations are characteristically time- and labor-intensive, drawing a parallel between her artistic process and the time necessary to process memory.
She is known for her recurrent use of repetition as a stylistic and meaning-breeding effect, intersecting the work's experiential time, creative time, and archival time, especially in her large-scale installations, staged in urban spaces and in institutions, and which make use of everyday life objects.
Sehnaoui's works have been exhibited internationally in Europe, the United States, and the Middle East and North Africa, including in Boston, London, Paris, Liège, Houston, Munich, Beirut, Dubai, and Doha.
An activist in the fields of human rights and political reform, Sehnaoui is a member of Beirut Madinati, an urban public policy organization under whose umbrella she ran for a seat on Beirut’s municipal council in 2016.
She is also a founding member of the Civil Center for National Initiative, whose works include a legal campaign to remove reference to sect from state records, and an initiative to legally administer civil marriages in the country.
She witnessed up close the physical and mental division of the Lebanese capital city into East and West Beirut, and the eminent danger of crossing the demarcation line separating her house in East Beirut from her school in West Beirut.
She subsequently travelled abroad to pursue higher education, studying at Paris Nanterre University and the University of Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris III, from which she graduated in 1981 with, respectively, a Masters' Degree in Sociology and a Diploma in Theoretical Film Studies.
In 1989 she returned to the United States with her family and enrolled at Boston's School of the Museum of Fine Arts, from which she graduated in 1995 with a diploma and a fifth year.
Shaped by her experience of wartime Beirut, Sehnaoui was interested early on in exploring issues of separation and fragmentation, delving not only into the Lebanese capital's history but also tackling those of other cities wounded by war.
She notably actively engaged with the visual and textual archives of different wars around the globe and started incorporating them in her paintings and mixed media artworks.
The paintings, in which she sometimes inserted archival images, press clippings, or text, referenced the divided urban landscapes of Beirut and Jerusalem.
From the mid-nineties on, Sehnaoui further developed her focus on the memory of the Civil War, and in particular the collective amnesia of the conflict condoned by Lebanon's Amnesty Law of 1991.
The series of mixed media works, using paint, text, and bandages, memorialized the conflict's victims, in the aim of healing the country.
The series of works pointed to time's cyclicality and human vanity, drawing on the poet's meditation on existential concerns, and, further, making a parallel between post-World War I disillusionment and post-Civil-War Lebanon.
She reorganized the news, masking certain articles while bringing others forward to the front page, to comment on information and disinformation, journalistic truth and the use of archives.
A pioneer of ephemeral art installations in Lebanon, Sehnaoui has also exhibited such works in Tunis (Tunisia), Marseilles (France), London (United Kingdom), Liège (Belgium) and Doha (Qatar).
These works generally repurpose dozens of mundane everyday objects, and their underlying message conveys the urgency of national reconciliation and social change.
Sehnaoui has used objects as varied as rolling pins, brooms, and toilet seats to convey the importance of acknowledging the legacy and memory of war and to promote national healing.
Sehnaoui then filled one hundred white plastic buckets with 3,000 pieces of crumbled papers on which was written a text questioning the meaning of a 6000-year-old history while having no memory of the recent past.
At the time, more than 3,000 individuals were thought to still be missing in the aftermath of the Civil War, and the 1991 Amnesty law prevented inquiries into their whereabouts or deaths.
Sehnaoui called attention to this situation with an installation exhibiting 3,000 names and 400 photographs glued on white and black balloons, which was exhibited in the ruins of an unfinished cinema nicknamed the Dome (or the Egg) in downtown Beirut.
The work was based on Sehnaoui's memories of the Civil War, a time when many Lebanese citizens used to hide in bathrooms to take refuge from bombs and sniper fire.
For this work, Sehnaoui interrogated one hundred school children about their family stories of migration, an urgent topic on both sides of the Mediterranean.
This work had its roots in the aftermath of the 2006 Lebanon war, when Sehnaoui had taken more than four hundred photographs of the aftermath of Israeli bombings of Beirut.
The display, beyond the specific origin of the photographs, proposed a reflection on humankind's universal capacity to turn fellow human beings' lives into rubble.
The artwork, first shown in Beirut at the Beirut Exhibition Center and then in London at the Royal College of Art, embodied a general gesture of civil contestation as well as a metaphor for starting again, one particularly important to the Arab world at the time, in the context of the Arab Spring.
To Sehnaoui, sweeping represents not only an everyday mundane action but also a powerful collective project following a war or a revolution.
Consisting of 360 interlocking red wooden parallelepipeds, it invited passers-by to reflect on the politics embedded in a simple city walk, and acted as the manifestation of a collective will for a brighter future.
According to Sehnaoui, the shift stemmed from a deep need to paint, as she considers herself a painter who broadened her practice to the public space.
The works, although smaller in scale than her public installations, are likewise labour-intensive, as Sehnaoui insists on the importance of the meditative time of creation.
Their themes are in the continuation of her overarching project to work on collective memory and build a hopeful future, and crystallize her concerns with reckoning with the memory of wars and fostering national reconciliation.
Deepening her philosophical reflection, Sehnaoui also proposes a meditation on time, repetition, resilience, and hope at the personal and societal level.
These dozens of paintings of flowers, alone or arranged in vivid grids, constitute peace offerings to Lebanon, full of hopeful and celebratory symbolism, and envision the possibility of a non-violent world.
The series started as a reaction to the ongoing wars in the Arab world, notably in Syria, and led to a personal reflection on the finiteness of human life, as well as a plea for peace.
These works are simultaneously abstract paintings, collages, and landscapes that underscore the way memory is at once fragmentary, personal, and collective, as the repetition of stripes is meant to echo one counting the days of life.
In 2018 and 2019, Sehnaoui also conceived several sculptures addressing the socio-political stagnation in Lebanon and the need for a national reconciliation.
Sehnaoui's artworks are part of several prominent institutional and private collections, including the Commissariat Général aux Relations Internationales de la Communauté Wallonie Bruxelles (Brussels), the Collection of the Ministry of Culture of the United Arab Emirates, the Saradar Collection (Beirut), the Sursock Museum (Beirut), and the MACAM museum (Alita, Lebanon).
Sehnaoui has been featured in several international newspapers and magazines, among them Le Monde, the Los Angeles Times, El Mundo, The Washington Post, L’Express International, Courrier International, and Le Figaro.
She advocates for the enactment of civil laws to both transcend the Lebanese sectarian system and advance individual freedoms, progressive policies to safeguard the environment and public health, and measures to empower women and give effect to human rights.
Sehnaoui is a founding member of the Civil Center for National Initiative, whose works include a legal campaign to remove reference to sect from state records and an initiative to administer civil marriages in the country.
She has run for municipal office twice in Beirut, the second time under the umbrella of Beirut Madinati in 2016, against candidates from traditional sectarian parties.
In addition, since the late 1990s, she has published several articles on human rights and politics in the Lebanese Francophone and Arabic-language press, notably the daily An-Nahar newspaper, where she has been making the case for social justice, human rights and political reform.
She has called for reform of the sectarian political system and the laws governing parliamentary elections, and pondered the continuous social and political weight of the aftermath of the Civil War in Lebanon.

Heugel was a French music publishing company, founded in 1839, that became one of the most prolific and ubiquitous businesses of its kind in the nineteenth and early twentieth century.
The French music publishing house of Heugel was founded on 1 January 1839 in Paris by Jacques-Léopold Heugel (1 March 1815 – 12 November 1883) and Jean-Antoine Meissonnier (1783–1857).
After four years, Meissonnier sold his share to Heugel to concentrate on his own business, which was brought to success by his son, Jean-Racine Meissonnier.
This was followed by new works, mainly operas, by composers such as Jacques Offenbach, Ambroise Thomas, and Léo Delibes, which proved very successful.
Heugel prudently continued the business, and also became a strong advocate for copyright issues as one of the first administrators of SACEM.
He was able to publish works by Gustave Charpentier, Gioachino Rossini and Giuseppe Verdi, as well as some of the great French composers of his time including Gabriel Fauré, Édouard Lalo, and Jules Massenet.
He became known as a specialised publisher of opera scores, besides continuing to publish a large number of works for piano and songs for which there was a great demand.
His success enabled him to acquire the catalogues of Georges Hartmann and Tellier (in 1891) and parts of the catalogues of Léon Escudier (1882), E. Gérard (1882–90), Louis Gregh (1884), Egrot (1884), Bruneau et Cie. (1891), and Pérégally & Parvy (1904).
Jacques-Paul Heugel, known as Jacques Heugel (25 January 1890 – 21 October 1979) successfully continued in the family's footsteps, transforming it to a publicly listed company in March 1944.
He attracted some of the most gifted French composers of the beginning of the twentieth century, including Georges Auric, Reynaldo Hahn, Jacques Ibert, André Jolivet, Darius Milhaud, Francis Poulenc, and Florent Schmitt.
François Heugel (22 August 1922 – 2010) as commercial director and Philippe Heugel (8 July 1924 – 13 July 1991) as artistic director continued the business, taking on works by Gilbert Amy, Pierre Boulez, Henri Dutilleux, Betsy Jolas, and others.

Robinson was a powerful senator, staunch Democrat, and strong supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and was instrumental in passing many New Deal programs through the Senate.
Arkansas was essentially a one-party state during the Solid South period; the Democratic Party controlled all aspects of state and local office.
Recently elected Democratic Governor of Arkansas Carl E. Bailey initially considered appointing himself to finish Robinson's term, but later acceded to a nomination process by the Democratic Central Committee, avoiding a public primary but breaking a campaign process.
Avoiding the primary so angered the public and establishment Democrats to coalesce behind longtime Democrat John E. Miller as an independent, forcing a general election.
Future governor Homer Adkins led the efforts to oppose Bailey, harboring a personal grudge since their time in the Pulaski County Courthouse.
Miller would serve in the term until 1941, retiring to become a judge in the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas.

The Tilly family, who originally owned the land, gave it to the New York City government for park operation in 1908.
Originally known as Highland Park, and later as Upland Park, the park gained its current name in 1935 from Jamaica resident George H. Tilly, a member of the Tilly family who was killed in action during the Spanish–American War.
The park is located within most of the block bounded by 165th Street to the west, 85th Avenue to the north, Chapin Parkway and Gothic Drive to the northeast, and Highland Avenue to the south.
Goose Pond is located at the north edge of the Harbor Hill Moraine, a terminal moraine across Long Island that was formed during the Wisconsin glaciation.
A natural spring under the pond was discovered to still be flowing in 1980, but during a renovation in the 1990s, Goose Pond was turned into an aerated lagoon with seven artificial jets.
Initially the park land was worth $3,000, but by 1908 the park was thought to be worth ten times that amount.
That year, Highland Park was transferred to city operation, with the Tilly family giving the land to the city for $1 on the condition that it would permanently remain as a park.
However, community members objected to the excessive amounts that would be disbursed to affected landowners, since residents near the park would have to pay extra taxes.
In conjunction with this renaming, the park was renovated with new benches and lamps, improved landscaping, and deepening of Goose Pond.
The city planned to restore the park in the mid-1970s, and had allocated $400,000 when the 1975 New York City fiscal crisis occurred.
A federal grant toward restoration of Tilly Park was allocated in February 1978, increasing the renovation project's total allocation to approximately $573,000.
By that December, community members alleged that NYC Parks had failed to take further steps to renovate Tilly Park, such as creating designs for the renovation.
At the time, the pond had so little water that it could not be used for ice-skating for the first time in 75 years, and it posed a public health hazard.
Furthermore, state assemblyman Arthur J. Cooperman had been advocating for Tilly Park's cleanup for the previous decade, and Queens Community Board 8's vice chairman of planning also said that the park's cleanup was a top priority.
The park was finally renovated starting in 1980; the cleanup consisted of planting new trees, installing benches and lighting, cleaning the ponds, repaving the paths, and replacing the playground.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Community Board 8 advocated for Goose Pond's restoration, which the board dubbed a top-priority project.
About six weeks later, 120 fish were found dead, all but one of which were goldfish, which had not been introduced into the pond by NYC Parks.

Insula dulcamara is an oil painting on newsprint pasted to burlap by the Swiss-based abstract artist Paul Klee, completed in 1938 when he was suffering from the wasting disease, scleroderma.
Like much of Klee's output the image conveys a coded message to the viewer, asking that he or she should reflect on the artist's thought processes during its creation.
However a newer analysis by academic Chris Pike suggests that the symbols represent Klee's own identity and mortality, spelling out his name and referencing aspects of his life and interests.
The letters of the word Klee are not as obvious but can be determined with imagination, especially in comparison with his written signature.

The Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market (), also known as the Huanan Seafood Market, is a live animal and seafood market in Jianghan District, Wuhan, Hubei province, China.
The market gained media attention after the World Health Organization was notified on 31 December 2019 of an outbreak of pneumonia in Wuhan.
Of the initial 41 people hospitalised with pneumonia who were identified as having laboratory-confirmed 2019-nCoV infection by 2 January 2020, two-thirds had been exposed to the market.
It is the largest seafood wholesale market in Wuhan and Central China, with its western zone known for its wild animals.
A sales notice posted by one vendor on the popular Chinese review site 'Dazhong Dianping' listed prices for 112 items including a number of wild animals.
By 2 January 2020, a new strain of coronavirus, designated (2019-nCoV) was confirmed in an initial 41 people hospitalised with the pneumonia, two-thirds of who had direct exposure to the market.
The earliest date for first symptoms was reported as 1 December 2019, in a person who did not have any exposure to the market or to the remaining affected 40 people.
In total, 13 of the 41 people had no link with the market, a significant figure according to infectious diseases specialist Daniel Lucey.
As coronaviruses (like SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV) mainly circulate among animals and with a link between the pneumonia outbreak and the market being established, it was suspected that the virus may have been passed from an animal to humans (zoonosis).
Snakes or bats have been suggested to be the source of the virus, especially considering the variety of wild animals sold at the market.
It was later announced that the virus is contagious between humans, and has been detected in other cities and regions in China and countries outside of China.
In a pursuit to discover the origin of the 2019-nCoV, samples from the market's animals were taken between 1 January and 12 January 2020.
In late January 2020, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that the virus was found in 33 out of 585 of those animal specimens, 31 of which came from the area of the market where wildlife was particularly found.
On 1 January 2020, in response to the initial outbreak of the pneumonia cluster, health authorities closed the market to perform investigations, clean, and disinfect the place.

A Tedder certificate was awarded to citizens of foreign countries who assisted British service personnel to escape from German captivity in Western Europe during the Second World War.
It was issued in the name of Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur Tedder with individual awards vetted and sanctioned by MI9.
During the First World War the British armed forces awarded the Allied Subjects' Medal to allied or neutral citizens who had rendered assistance to British personnel - often those who had escaped within enemy lines.
During the Second World War the King's Medal for Courage in the Cause of Freedom and the King's Medal for Service in the Cause of Freedom were awarded for similar actions, including to many who had provided aid to British personnel evading Axis forces or escaping from captivity.
A committee of the MI9 escape organisation was responsible for drawing up an initial list of potential recipients, vetting applicants and authorising the awards to deserving foreign citizens.
This organisation worked from 1944 to 1952 to determine the fate of missing RAF personnel and to locate their graves across Europe.
MI9 processed more than 35,000 claims from Western Europe in two years alone and also awarded compensation and expenses where applicable.

However, as the majority of those who had been helped were airmen the RAF wanted the certificates issued in the name of one of their officers.
Similar certificates were produced for the other theatres of war: the Mediterranean version was signed by Field Marshal Harold Alexander and the Far East version by Admiral of the Fleet Lord Mountbatten.

The Battle of Tjiater Pass was a battle which occurred between 5 and 7 March 1942 during the Dutch East Indies campaign between invading Japanese forces and the Dutch colonial forces, supported by warplanes from the Royal Air Force.
Following Dutch withdrawal from most urban centers in Java in the aftermath of Japanese landings and the loss of the Kalijati airfield, remaining KNIL units established a defensive perimeter in the mountain passes around Bandung in the hopes of regrouping with retreating KNIL and Australian units abandoning Batavia and Buitenzorg.
Despite the Japanese forces, led by Colonel Toshinari Shōji, being numerically inferior, they opted to launch an attack on the spread-out Dutch forces in order to prevent a possible counterattack.
Benefiting from air superiority and better training than their KNIL counterparts, Japanese soldiers successfully stormed and captured the undermanned defensive positions guarding the pass after three days of fighting, securing their path to Bandung after capturing the town of Lembang.
Before any combat could happen in Bandung, Dutch forces who wished to avoid destruction of the city had surrendered, leading to the eventual capitulation of the entirety of the Dutch East Indies to Japan.
After a victory in the Battle of the Java Sea, Japanese land forces landed in the island of Java in three main locations, including one detachment led by Colonel Toshinari Shōji landing at Eretan Wetan, in what is today Indramayu, on dawn of 1 March 1942.
The detachment quickly secured the Kalijati airfield and surrounding territories, allowing for the forward deployment of the Japanese air support (from the 3rd Air Division under Major General Endō Saburō).
From Japanese-controlled territories in Subang, there were two paths leading to the Bandung plateau - through Purwakarta, or through the less-developed roads of the Tjiater Pass on the foothills of the Tangkuban Perahu.
Dutch forces attempted to launch counterattacks via the Tjiater Pass on 2 and 3 March to recapture the Kalijati airfield, but the attempts failed.
Pesman had at his disposal around 9,000 men, including 5,900 from his original force within the KNIL and augmented by the attachment of KNIL's 2nd infantry regiment and a batallion, but the units were split as they had to defend multiple locations at once.
In terms of air forces, there were 27 operational combat airplanes available to the KNIL forces - comprising 12 bombers, 11 fighters, and 4 reconnaissance aircraft.
Both passes which allowed motor access into Bandung were fortified by the Dutch, and the men guarding the fortifications were commanded by Colonel W.J.
Shōji's forces had been expected by the command of the Sixteenth Army to simply hold onto captured positions in Kalijati and onto crossings for the Citarum River, and to wait for further reinforcements in form of the 2nd Division, approaching from the west.
However, due to constant air raids from allied aircraft sapping the potency of his air support and the threat of further counterattacks, Shōji opted to launch an attack on Bandung instead, concentrating his forces in order to launch an attack through Tjiater.
His detachment comprised around 3,000 men who were better trained and more experienced than their KNIL counterparts, and out of these somewhere around 2,000 to 2,400 men were deployed in the battle.
The Japanese were estimated to have 39 aircraft available for operations - including 14 bombers, 14 assault airplanes, 10 fighters, and a single reconnaissance aircraft.
Tjiater's fortifications on the northern end of the mountain pass had been designed to be held by an infantry regiment, and consisted of trenches, two lines of casemates, and barbed wire obstacle, with the first defensive line measuring about two kilometers in length and located right in front of a ravine.
At the start of the battle, it was manned by one infantry batallion, reinforced by two additional platoons and several support units.
There was also a secondary defensive line at the southern end of the mountain pass, though it was not fully constructed.
The northern fortifications were undermanned, with only one infantry company holding the first line and the fortification itself having only limited operationality due to a lack of laborers following the Japanese invasion.
On the morning of 4 March, both sides launched air raids on one another, the Dutch and the Royal Air Force aircraft targeting potential new Japanese troop landings and the Kalijati airfield while the Japanese targeted the Dutch airbase at Andir and forward Dutch defenses.
Air raids continued on both Andir and Kalijati in the early morning of the following day, accompanied by aerial reconnaissance missions.
The land battle for the pass began around noon of 5 March, when Japanese vanguard light tanks encountered Dutch fortifications in form of pillboxes and a 5-cm gun.
Dutch defenders were supported by just a single battery of four guns, which did not have a significant effect on the fighting.
After around three hours of combat, Japanese infantrymen had approached the forward defenses and around 50 men were withdrawn, with the 5-cm gun being destroyed and a bridge crossing the ravine ahead of the fortifications blown up.
As the Dutch soldiers retreated, the main first line of defenses began firing at the Japanese soldiers with mortars and machine guns, initially doing some damage before the Japanese responded with their own mortars.
Within half an hour, Japanese infantrymen had infiltrated unmanned sections of the defensive line and attempted to encircle the defending company, forcing a retreat to the second line, around 500 meters away.
The second line had poor visibility for artillery observers and some equipment such as searchlights and radio had been abandoned in the retreat.
By 4 PM, Japanese soldiers were firmly entrenched in the first line and exchanged fire with Dutch troops in the second line, but did not manage to dislodge the defenders.
As dusk approached, the reinforcements arrived in the vicinity, but were prevented from entering the second line due to some Japanese soldiers who managed to infiltrate the lines.
On 6 March, the Japanese initially assessed that the defensive line was held by some 3,000 soldiers with a number of guns, but after the interrogation of a captured prisoner of war they found out that the defenders were considerably less than their assessment.
There were also a large number of Japanese air raids, with hundreds of bombs being dropped, destroying vehicles and eroding Dutch morale.
The initial infantry attacks on 6 March were launched against the western section of the defensive line at around 5:30 AM, which was initially repelled, and so was a second assault which was launched following an air raid.
Japanese commanders, however, followed with a third wave supported by mortar fire and three tanks, which was successful in breaking the two infantry companies holding the section under attack.
Between 30 to 50 were killed in combat from the two companies, and a further 75 were captured and massacred by the Japanese, leaving just six survivors.
In the afternoon, the Japanese had managed to outflank the defenses, launching an attack against the defenders which was pushed back by a Dutch counterattack.
However, de Veer was killed in the counterattack and the fortifications were evacuated after the assault was repelled, and the remaining defenders were ordered to withdraw to Lembang.
Once the positions were captured, the Japanese were in control of the ridgeline of the mountain pass, and the Dutch forces were left in poor reserve defenses.
At night on 7 March, the Japanese forces moved in and occupied Lembang, and there at around 7:30 PM they received a Dutch messenger carrying a flag of truce.
While the Dutch initially intended to discuss the capitulation of KNIL soldiers exclusively in the Bandung area, Japanese 16th Army Commander Hitoshi Imamura decided to demand the total capitulation of allied forces in the Dutch East Indies, during negotiations held the following day in Kalijati Airfield.
Due to the threat of continued fighting in Bandung, which was filled with a large number of refugees, the Dutch authorities broadcast their general surrender on noon on 9 March.

The North Carolina Press Association (NCPA) is an American, nonprofit organization devoted to protecting and promoting newspapers and freedom of the press in the state of North Carolina.
It was established in 1872 in Charlotte, North Carolina and met for its first convention on May 14, 1873 in Goldsboro, North Carolina.
At the suggestion of Jospeh Adolphus Engelhard, the North Carolina newspaper journalist met in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1872 to organize an association that would become the NCPA.
On May 14, 1873, the first convention of the NCPA was held in the court house on Walnut Street in Goldsboro, North Carolina.
The original motives for the formation of the North Carolina Press Association in 1873 was the concern about quack advertising and the need to form a fraternity for newspaper persons.
The association held annual meetings and often provided recommendations to the North Carolina General Assembly on issues such as improving education, post offices and roads; the need for accurate information about state resources such as minerals; poor reading habits in the state; and improving the profession of journalism in the stte.
In 1949, the NCPA organized a School of Journalism Foundation, Inc. that aided in the development of the school of journalism at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
In the later part of the 1900s, the NCPA became an advocate for First Amendment freedom, especially concerning full access to government and judicial information.
Membership in the North Carolina Press Association includes almost all North Carolina state, county, and community newspapers; collegiate members; and corporate/associate members.

The union was founded on 6 June 1913, with the merger of numerous local port, sailors' and transport workers' unions, giving it an initial membership of 8,000.
During World War I, the union was largely inactive, but it was revived in 1919, and created a new section for ships' stewards.
The union was successful in the early 1920s, and in 1925 was able to fund the construction of a sanatorium, De Mick.
It took part in a major strike at the port in Antwerp in 1928, and then in the Belgian general strike of 1936.
During World War II, the union was forced to stop activity in the Netherlands, but a few leaders including Omer Becu escaped to the United Kingdom and were able to keep the union running from there.
In 1947, the Belgian Union of Tramway and Municipal Transport Workers merged into the union, and immediately became its largest sector, just ahead of its port membership, but it split away again in the early 1950s.

Muslim ibn Sa'id ibn Aslam ibn Zur'ah ibn Amr ibn Khuwaylid al-Sa'iq al-Kilabi was governor of Khurasan for the Umayyad Caliphate in 723–724.
Muslim had a distinguished ancestry: his grandfather Aslam served as governor of Khurasan in 671–675, and his father Sa'id was a partisan of the powerful governor of Iraq, al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf, who rewarded his loyalty by appointing him as governor of Makran.
His first official post was as a provincial sub-governor under the governor of Basra, Adi ibn Artat, and he reportedly acquitted himself well.
Muslim became a companion to the governor of Iraq, Umar ibn Hubayra, who in 722/723 appointed him as governor of Khurasan, replacing Sa'id ibn Amr al-Harashi.
He took office at a sensitive time, as widespread unrest among the native Iranian and Turkic populations of newly conquered Transoxiana had been brutally suppressed by al-Harashi.
In the next year, he resolved to launch an expedition with the goal of seizing the Ferghana Valley, which had been lost during the unrest of the previous years.
The campaign faced difficulties already in its early stages, when the news arrived of the accession of a new Caliph, Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik, and the appointment of a new governor of Iraq, Khalid al-Qasri.
This brought the long-simmering tribal rivalries of the Arabs of Khurasan came to the fore: anticipating the immediate recall of al-Kilabi, the Yemeni (southern Arab) troops in Balkh refused to join the campaign, and had to be coerced by a force of Mudaris (northern Arabs) under Nasr ibn Sayyar, who clashed with them at Baruqan.
The campaign eventually went ahead as Khalid al-Qasri wrote to al-Kilabi, urging him to proceed with it until his replacement, Khalid's brother Asad, arrived in Khurasan.
Al-Kilabi moved his army up the Jaxartes valley to Ferghana and laid siege to its main settlement, but news of the approach of the Türgesh forced him to hastily retreat south.
After several days, with the Türgesh in close pursuit, the Umayyad army found its path blocked by the native princes who had allied with the Türgesh.
Al-Kilabi surrendered the leadership of the army to Abd al-Rahman ibn Na'im al-Ghamidi, who led the remnants of the army back to Samarkand.
Some of the Khurasani Arabs are said to have lashed Muslim after his dismissal, for his role in causing the battle at Baruqan, but al-Ghamidi interceded to make them stop.

He was also a poet who played a major role in the rebellion of the Free Burghers against the government of Governor Willem Adriaan van der Stel, while also write poems about this uprising and life at the Cape.
In 1701 he was already undertaking his third voyage to the East in his post as chief physician, where he made his way to the Cape in July 1702.
On his return to Holland he re-entered the Cape in 1706 and took the famous petition of Adam Tas, against the government of Willem Adriaan van der Stel, on April 4, 1706 to Holland.
Later he also wrote in favor of the farmers in the two parts of Historical Travels through the eastern parts of Asia and in his De Gedichten.
This drama is remarkable in that at the end of the drama, seven main characters have died, either through murder, accident or suicide.
These deaths can be seen as comments on the selfishness and immorality of each of these characters and their death is then a way of restoring the moral order.

A walled enclosure surrounded most of the knoll and, on the western side, the eight-foot thick walls extended the steep escarpment of the knoll to form a significant obstacle.
There were about a dozen stone huts built into the walls of the enclosure so that the central space was open.
The substantial wall, elevation and surrounding stone pavement made the settlement well-fortified and better protected than other comparable settlements, which only aimed to deter light raids and thefts of stock.
The outside slabs at the base of the wall have all been ripped out which indicates that the wall was destroyed by hostile action.
The later medieval shieling was a rectangle of about 24 x 10 yards (22 x 9 metres) next to the south wall.
It was inaugurated in 2014, with 150 sand sculptures on display, on a one-acre land at the base of Chamundi Hills.
Each of the sculptures was created by sand artist MN Gowri and based on a theme such as Mysore's cultural heritage, wildlife and religion.
After dropping out during the second year of her mechanical engineering course, MN Gowri received training in computer animation during which she created three-dimensional models using 3ds Max software.
Upon receiving appreciation for her work, she decided to start a sand sculpture museum on a one-acre leased land at the base of Chamundi Hills, by taking a loan of 20 lakh.
The sculptures covered up to 16 different themes, largely dealing with Mysore's cultural heritage, wildlife and religion (mainly Hinduism, Islam and Christianity).
Among the subjects of the sculptures displayed at the museum were Ganesha, Mysore Dasara, Santa Claus, Christmas tree, zodiac wheel, Islamic culture, Disneyland, marine life, Laughing Buddha, Chamundeshwari, Gitopadesha and Cauvery River.
Egon Hartmann (24 August 1919 – 6 December 2009) was a German architect and city planner who won prizes for his city planning concepts for both East and West Berlin.
However, he was drafted into the army in January 1939 and was among the troops that entered Prague during the invasion of Czechoslovakia in March 1939.
In late 1944, he was severely wounded in the Courland Pocket, and lost his lower jaw, which made him undergo 48 surgeries and caused him problems for the rest of his life.
In 1962, he obtained a doctoral degree from TH Darmstadt with a thesis about the city development of Mainz, supervised by Max Guther and Karl Gruber.
From 1950 to 1954, Hartmann worked for the city and town planning office of Thuringia, becoming its chief architect in 1951.
In 1954, he did not return from a vacation in Austria, but went to West Germany and took up a position as city planner in Mainz, where he worked among other things on a concept for the post-war reconstruction of the city.
In 1958, he won a second prize in a West German competition to plan the reconstruction of Berlin, the same prize level as Hans Scharoun and beating Le Corbusier, whose entry was not ranked.
Having been sidelined and with his urban planning initiatives not supported in Mainz, Hartmann moved to Munich in 1959, where he became city director of constructions in 1964 and worked until his retirement in 1976.
At the time of its inauguration in 2017, the museum exhibited 130 works of Radha Mallappa, including the world's tallest seashell sculpture of Ganesha (11 feet).
Among other prominent works on display at the museum are a 10-foot tall Taj Mahal replica, a 12-foot tall idol of Shiva and a 13-foot tall model of St. Philomena's Church.
Between 1803 and 1807, he obtained private lessons in mathematics, physics, astronomy and navigation from a teacher at the Emden Navigation School.
He was an assistant professor at the University of Rome for two years, until 1928 when he moved to his alma mater Scuola Normale Superiore, where he was a professor for 8 years and produced research works in the fields of number theory, differential geometry, mathematical analysis, and theory of series, with highly significant results being obtained on the Goldbach conjecture and Hilbert's seventh problem.
Ricci moved to the University of Milano towards the end of 1936, where he remained as a professor for 36 years until his death on 9 September 1973.
Giovanni Prodi (28 July 1925 – 29 January 2010) was an Italian mathematician, also known for many activities concerning the teaching of mathematics.
He was the eldest among 9 siblings, which included former Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi, member of the European Parliament Vittorio Prodi, and the medical scientist Giorgio Prodi.
In 1944, he deserted the Army along with several comrades and returned to Parma, where he was taken prisoner by the advancing Allies.
He held the chair of mathematical analysis at the University of Trieste from 1956 to 1963, and then at the University of Pisa.
He was also interested in improving mathematics education, proposing radical new ideas on mathematical teaching, emphasising on probability theory, constructive mathematics and promoting algorithmic thinking and problem solving.
After several years of deteriorating health due to Parkinson's disease, he died as a result of a cardiac arrest caused due to it in 2010.
The A. Nico Habermann Award is offered by the Computing Research Association to individuals in recognition of contributions aimed at increasing the involvement of underrepresented communities in computing research.
He served as chair of the computer science and engineering department from 2001 to 2006, during which he helped to open the Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering.
He is also one of the two people after whom the Harrold and Notkin Research and Graduate Mentoring Award, given by the National Center for Women & Information Technology, is named.
In February 2013, the University of Washington announced the creation of the David Notkin Endowed Graduate Fellowship in Computer Science & Engineering, in an event attended by over 300 computer science students at the university to recognise Notkin's contributions.
In the 16th–17th centuries, the village was one of the core properties of the Giedroyć family who funded the monastery for the and the Church of St. Lawrence.
The monastery honored Michał Giedroyć (died in 1485) who was possibly born in the village and was officially beatified in 2018.
According to the Palemonid legends, the village takes the name from its founder Duke Vidas (Hurda) Ginvilaitis, grandson of Duke Giedrius and ancestor of the Giedroyć family.
The village was first mentioned in written sources in 1367 in a peace treaty of Grand Duke Algirdas and Duke Kęstutis with the Livonian Order.
The village was mentioned in the chronicle of Hermann von Wartberge in 1373 and 1375 when it was attacked during the Lithuanian Crusade.
The coat of arms depict a four-leaf rose which alludes to the Poraj coat of arms used by the Giedroyć family.
The village had 239 residents in 1863, 255 in 1879, 284 in 1923, 282 in 1959, 268 in 1970, 316 in 1979, 403 in 1989, and 415 in 2001.
According to a story recorded by Maciej Stryjkowski, Duke Daumantas (later confused with historical Daumantas of Pskov), son of Vidas from the legendary Palemonid dynasty, built a castle near Videniškiai.
It is likely built by , Court Marshall of Lithuania, or his son , Voivode of Mstsislaw, in the mid-16th century.
The church was named after the Holy Trinity and was attended by priests from the Dominican Church of the Holy Spirit in Vilnius.
Michał Giedroyć (died 1485) was a member of the Canons Regular of Penance and was venerated for his piousness (he was officially beatified only in 2018).
A chapel with a crypt was added in 1631 to the monastery church to act as a mausoleum for the Giedroyć family.
The first monastery was a small wooden structure that could house twelve monks, but it became a center of the Canons Regular of Penance in Lithuania.
The monastery also maintained a parish school (it possibly dates to 1600 when Merkelis Giedraitis left some sums for a school in his last will) and a rudimentary hospital/shelter for the sick and elderly ().
In 1783, Józef Kossakowski, Bishop of Livonia, received a papal bull from Pope Pius VI and seized the monastery and its land.
Bishop of Vilnius Ignacy Jakub Massalski and the Canons Regular of Penance sued and recovered the monastery and received cash compensation, but lost the land.
After the Uprising of 1831, Tsarist authorities closed all monasteries (except one in Vilnius) of the Canons Regular of Penance in 1832.
After the prolonged restoration, a museum was opened in the former monastery on 4 May 2015 (the 530th death anniversary of Michał Giedroyć).
The figures are usually identified with the monastery founder and the first monastery superior Hippolit Rzepnicki, but it is possible that the second epitaph depicts Merkelis Giedraitis.
It was reworked by Wacław Biernacki in the early 20th century but has retained the original casing which is one of the older surviving casings in Lithuania.

Maria Elise Turner Lauder (pen name Toofie Lauder, also known as Maria Elise Turner de Touffe Lauder; 20 February 1833 – 1 June 1922) was a Canadian teacher, linguist, and author who travelled extensively in Europe.
Lauder was of Norman and Huguenot descent, her ancestors having escaped from France to Germany at the time of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes.
Her father was Whitcomb Powers Toof (or Whitcombe de Touffe) (d. 1836), and her mother was Phoebe Harriet Perry (1807–1875), who descended from United Empire Loyalists family of Vermont.
Lauder was a fair linguist, joining a knowledge of Latin and Greek to that of several modern languages, the latter of which she spoke fluently.
He became a prominent barrister in that city, where he affiliated with the Conservative Party, serving for several years as a member of the Ontario Legislature.
The Lauders had one child, the pianist, William Waugh Lauder, for whom she was the sole teacher until he was eleven years old.
For this, she travelled extensively, residing in Great Britain, Germany, France and Italy, and visiting many parts of Europe, accompanied by her husband and son.
During her residence abroad, she formed the friendship of several musical celebrities and authors, and, armed with an introductory letter from the widely known author and musical critic, Oscar Paul, of the Royal Conservatorium der Musik in Leipzig, she took William to Sachse-Weimar, where he studied with Franz Liszt.
There, she was presented at the royal court to Umberto I and Queen Margherita, and was honoured with private audiences with the queen, and invitations, both in the Quirinal Palace and the Palace of Capodimonte in Naples.
She wrote a tribute poem upon the death of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, as well as poems honoring Queen Victoria, King Edward, and King George.
He then studied at the Academy of Economic Studies of Moldova, followed by a German university (where he followed a Philosophy degree), and finally a university in Romania – without graduating any.
He started his career in entertainment by briefly working at a radio station, then entered the television business when he joined Jurnal TV in 2010.

In 1992, a skull fragment found in a wooded area of Baldwin, Pennsylvania, United States, was determined to be that of Michael Rosenblum, who had last been seen alive driving away from a nearby gas station on February 14, 1980.
This left unsettled allegations his father had made in the years since his son's disappearance that the local police had not only caused his death but had actively covered up their role in it.
One allegation, that the police department's clerk had forged another officer's signature on a backdated letter, was proven when he confessed during an official inquiry.
No other employee was ever disciplined; after the borough council fired the chief over his purported role in the alleged misconduct he was later reinstated by the borough's civil service commission, a majority of whom were close friends of the chief.
Michael's father, Maurice Rosenblum, spent a lot of his own money, and made use of his political connections, to keep the case alive; he also received some anonymous tips pointing to police misconduct, one of which led to the Baldwin council's inquiry.
Michael Rosenblum was born in 1954, the only son of Barbara and Maurice Rosenblum of Pittsburgh's Shadyside neighborhood, where he grew up.
By his late teens he began using drugs and alcohol heavily, which led to trouble with the law and a reciprocal fear of the police on his part;he often fled, at one point leading police on a car cash, and sometimes violently resisted arrest.
Between 1974 and 1980 Pittsburgh Police had arrested him three times on traffic violations, including driving while intoxicated, and drug possession; Maurice confiscated his son's Datsun 240Z as a result.
Maurice determined that his son's problems had begun in earnest after Michael had made the acquaintance of a doctor near the family's Jersey Shore summer home in Beach Haven who wrote the boy hundreds of prescriptions for drugs he abused such as Percodan, Valium and Tussionex whenever he called.
Michael, whose friends recalled that he had always easily attracted women due to his charm and intelligence, became romantically involved with Sharer, then estranged from her second husband, by the time both were released.
He told Michael that if he really wanted to live well and drive a 240Z, he would have to work for it.
Upon his retirement in 2014, outgoing Baldwin mayor Alexander Bennett, a lifelong resident of the borough who had served as a police officer for 22 years before retiring from that position in 1992 and entering politics shortly thereafter, reflected on how friendly and safe the community had been at the middle of the 20th century.
At the beginning of 1980 Aldo Gaburri had been chief of the Baldwin police for the last six of his 37 years on the force.
He owned four properties in the borough and a lot in rural Gilmore Township, south of the Pittsburgh area near the West Virginia state line.
He had a close relationship with the borough's mayor, Samuel McPherson, that reportedly extended to him dismissing traffic tickets at McPherson's request, and even covering up a traffic accident involving McPherson's son.
Later in the month, he got a speeding ticket in Pittsburgh, which he decided to retain a lawyer to deal with.
On February 13, suspecting her son was using again since he appeared to be under the influence, Barbara Rosenblum searched his room and found a container of pills.
Michael left and went to see Sharer; taking her out to a local nightclub so she could apply for a waitressing job, then returning with her to her adoptive mother's house in Whitehall, southeast of the city.
He woke up with some residual effects from the drugs he had taken the night before, and Sharer took him to a local hospital at 10 a.m., frantically urging him to check himself in as his eyes appeared to her be regularly rolling back in his head.
Michael steadfastly refused to; staff at the hospital recalled that he did not seem impaired at this time although they did strongly suggest he check in.
The couple, along with Sharer's three-year-old daughter, left together in Sharer's Pontiac Sunbird, headed north on Pennsylvania Route 885, intending to take the Homestead High Level Bridge towards the Rosenblum home, where Michael had decided to return.
He had also scheduled a 12:30 p.m. meeting in downtown Pittsburgh with the lawyer he had hired to represent him in the speeding-ticket case.
After Sharer drove over a curb when she turned to enter Homestead, she pulled into a gas station on Main Street in West Homestead to get out and see if she had gotten a flat tire in the process.
The two argued loudly, enough to prompt the gas station owner to call the police, but then Michael decided he would drive, and got into the driver's seat.
Michael told them to meet him at his mother's house; they instead hitchhiked back to Oakland in the city, where Sharer checked herself back in to Western.
There were no confirmed sightings of him alive by anyone who is known to have discussed it publicly or with investigators afterwards.
Within an hour it was reported as abandoned in the westbound lane of East Carson Street, also known as River Road, a stretch of Pennsylvania Route 837 between two sets of railroad tracks along the south bank of the Monongahela River below a wooded bluff in a discontiguous, uninhabited section of Baldwin.
At 12:24 p.m. two borough police officers, Chester Lombardi and Robert Weber, arrived on the scene, a quarter-mile (400 m) west of the Glenwood Bridge.
Both left side tires were shredded beyond repair; the vehicle had apparently been operated on its rims after the tires were damaged since the rims were also severely damaged to the point that they, too, would have to be replaced if the vehicle were to operable again.
The interior was filled with assorted items, including hundreds of photographs, to the point that Weber gave up searching its contents shortly after he started.
The following day she called Barbara Rosenblum and told her that Michael had not returned; as far she knew, he still had the Sunbird.
While Maurice believed he would return within a day or two or call within that time, Barbara immediately feared that harm had befallen Michael and he was dead, noting that it was not characteristic of him to do something like this without letting them know of his plans beforehand.
Theresa Rocco, head of the department's missing person unit, immediately began a search, focusing on finding the Sunbird first; eventually she would reach out to police in every state and major city.
Maurice began his own search after two weeks of police effort came up empty, calling old friends of his son's as far away as California to see if he had gone there.
He put up money for a reward for information that would close the case, and took time off from his business to distribute flyers.
The search for the vehicle ended in late May, when the owner of the shop where it had been parked sought a salvage permit from the state.
A week later they pulled from their files a letter to Sharer dated February 15; she maintained she had never received it.
Noreen Heckmann, the reporter who wrote the story, said later she had received most of the information in the story, including the photograph, from Gaburri.
Both he and the chief later testified that they had had no knowledge that Sharer's Sunbird was in the police impound lot, much less visited it, during the three months it was there.
The following day, Gaburri ordered a search of the area around where the vehicle had been found on River Road in February.
Searchers, largely drawn from the borough's volunteer fire department and the county police, spent three hours looking over a very small area in the immediate vicinity, between the road and the river.
They were assisted by scuba divers Maurice Rosenblum had hired looking in the river and a helicopter a client had loaned him looking from the air.
One of Baldwin's police officers, Skippy Dobson, was also a firefighter and on the team that day; he had been working the dispatch console the day Michael Rosenblum disappeared.
He and other searchers asked more than once, he recalled several years later, if they could search either further downstream or on the south side of the road, a wooded area with several ravines known as the Forty Acres.
A week later Gaburri called Rocco with news that at first convinced her the end of the search for Michael might be coming to end.
The image closely resembled the one of Michael Rosenblum on the many flyers his father had passed out and posted all over the Pittsburgh area.
Rocco and Maurice Rosenblum went to the drugstore themselves and showed the witnesses photos of Michael; they did not recognize him.
After he found out that Rocco and Rosenblum had done that, Cooley went to talk to both of the witnesses again with a full book of mug shots, but only showed one of them a picture of Michael.
In mid-July Heckmann called Barbara Rosenblum one morning to let her know that the Baldwin police were issuing an arrest warrant for Michael in the robbery; she would be writing a story about that aspect of the case.
Rocco was able to find a suspect who more accurately fit the description and had a similar car in the Butler jail north of Pittsburgh; he eventually confessed to the robbery.
Developments to that point had convinced Maurice Rosenblum that the Baldwin police knew more than they were saying about what had happened between February and May.
For the next two years he largely neglected his business to focus on the search, later saying that if he had not owned it, he probably would have been fired.
Sometimes he flew to other parts of the country on short notice to follow up leads as far away as California.
He followed up with classified ads in the newspapers urging them to take their information to the proper authorities and claim the reward money, but that never happened.
In the seven years following the disappearance and the Baldwin police's investigation, three of the officers involved died of heart attacks.
They included Lombardi, who had responded to the abandoned car; Patrick Gallagher, the dispatcher who had been recorded as notifying Sharer's nonexistent aunt the day afterwards that the car had been towed; and Morse.
Maurice Rosenblum lobbied for other law enforcement agencies at higher levels of government to look into both his son's disappearance (and, he had come to believe, death) and the Baldwin police's handling of it.
In December 1986, the Rosenblums received another anonymous tip that yielded information which confirmed Maurice's view that the Baldwin police had been actively obstructing the investigation of his son's disappearance.
Haslett told him that on the day the Sunbird had been found to have been in Baldwin's impound lot, Gaburri had been in a rage.
She had not told either of the other investigations because she was afraid that she and Cappelli would get fired, and because they had never asked about the letter.
As soon as he returned to Pittsburgh, Maurice contacted a longtime friend, state Rep. K. Leroy Irvis, Speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, and told him what he had learned.
He and Irvis brought it to state Attorney General LeRoy Zimmerman, who referred it to the state police's Bureau of Criminal Investigation, an agency seen as beyond the reach of political influence.
They talked to Cappelli, who not only confirmed Haslett's account but added that Gaburri had told him to forge Lombardi's signature on the letter after Lombardi refused to.
An investigator told him early on that it seemed to him that Gaburri had lied; later it seemed that there were other criminal activities related to the Baldwin police and that a grand jury would be hearing testimony.
But then things changed; the investigator told Maurice that it might be better if they allowed Gaburri to retire rather than face any charges.
In July 1987, before the state investigation had been dropped, Maurice Rosenblum wrote to Baldwin's borough council, outlining what he knew and what he suspected about Gaburri's role in his son's disappearance and likely death.
Councilman Ken Guerra, chairman of the council's Public Safety Committee and the borough's volunteer fire chief, in which capacity he had participated in the 1980 search, read the letter and persuaded council to open the investigation.
Guerra doubted that Cappelli would have been falsely implicating Gaburri, since he was easily pressured and not the type to initiate such actions.
He asked the village solicitor, John Luke, a law partner of Mayor McPherson, a close Gaburri ally, to open an independent investigation.
Council, in turn, retained the law firm of Robert J. Cindrich, a previous U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
Luke took depositions from Cappelli, who admitted everything he had been accused of but denied Gaburri's role under the lawyer's badgering questioning, and George Galovich, another Baldwin officer who had been suspected of writing the letter to the Rosenblums.
Private investigator Stephen Tercsak, a retired veteran of the Pittsburgh police who had worked for Rocco during the 1980 investigation, worked for council at Cindrich's recommendation.
Tercsak came to believe that Michael Rosenblum had, as he had done on other occasions, fled when police attempted to pull him over, to the point that they might have responded by running the Sunbird off the road.
Michael in turn might have attempted to fight the officers, and they beat him to death in retaliation and then disposed of the body.
At a hearing before council at the end of September, Cindrich presented council's witnesses, testifying under oath, while Luke cross-examined them.
The proceeding was limited to the charge that Gaburri had ordered Cappelli to not only type the backdated letter but forge Lombardi's signature on it.
Haslett repeated her account; Cappelli's testimony departed from his deposition by returning to what he had originally told Guerra, that he had only done what he admitted doing because the chief had ordered him to.
Galovich identified several officers whom he said were actively involved in an ilegal gambling operation, and gave details of that operation.
He also said Cooley had been actively involved in taking payoffs to fix traffic tickets, as well as extorting those payments.
A majority of the council believed the charge against Gaburri had been proven and voted 5–2 to fire him in early October, telling him by letter that they believed his actions had impeded the search for Michael Rosenblum.
In its review of the case against the chief, it found Haslett's testimony to be hearsay at best and cited the differences between Cappelli's deposition and hearing testimony.
The only officer to face any departmental discipline for the events of 1980 was Robert Weber, Lombardi's partner when the two came across Sharer's abandoned car that day.
He was out, so she left a message on the answering machine belonging to his roommate, another Baldwin officer who was loyal to Gaburri.
The producer said her call was returned 15 minutes later by a man claiming to be Galovich who attempted to talk her and the program out of doing the segment (Galovich was later ruled out as having made the call; he suspected his roommate).
Almost immediately afterwards, Galovich was suspended on the grounds that he had lied to Luke during his deposition when he said he had no knowledge of Haslett's role in the case.
Specifically, he had initially said he had no idea how Haslett got to the Pittsburgh area, but shortly thereafter admitted he had picked her up at the airport for the hearing.
A concurrent 60-day suspension addressed an issue unrelated to the Rosenblum case, Galovich's alleged failure to follow up on a report of stolen checks that had been assigned to him.
In April the borough council formally fired him; after the civil service commission sustained the firing Galovich sued and was reinstated in 1992, in addition to receiving a substantial settlement.
Both would increase the amount of information publicly known about the case, and met with adverse reaction from the Baldwin police.
Dobson, who had been working dispatch on February 14, 1980, said that in addition to Morse, Lombardi and Weber, all known to have been on River Road at midday, his radio logs showed that Cooley and Miscenik probably were as well.
At 11:53 a.m., they called in to say they were leaving a magistrate's office on Pittsburgh's South Side, an area 5 miles (8 km) northwest along the river from where the Sunbird was found, to serve a warrant in McKeesport, to the southeast along the Monongahela.
when told his fellow officers suspected he shared responsibility for Michael Rosenblum's death, told the magazine he was not responsible for Dobson's remarks, and no more.
They alleged the story contained false statements and recklessly implicated them in Rosenblum's disappearance, and that Harger personally had defamed them in a radio interview about it.
In 1990 Cooley and Miscenik settled on the day the case was to go to trial for an amount agreed to be between $50,000 and $75,000.
A year after his September 1988 retirement, Gaburri sued the magazine and Harger as well; he dropped Rosenblum as a defendant shortly after filing the suit although he expected to consider calling him as a witness.
The NBC television network went ahead with filming its segment, which included interviews with both Rosenblums, Tercsak, Haslett Cappelli and Thomas McFall of the borough's civil service commission, and re-enactments of events such as the discovery of the Sunbird on the stretch of River Road where it had happened.
The Pittsburgh police were able to provide some limited assistance since the Pittsburgh Marathon was the next day, and the sheriff's office did traffic control on River Road, but the Baldwin police refused to cooperate.
Gaburri not only did not provide any officers for traffic control or security, he ordered them not to do any interviews or talk with the crew.
After the program ended, a man who did not identify himself called the program's hotline from somewhere in the state of Washington and said that he had been held in the Baldwin police lock-up on the night of Michael Rosenblum's disappearance after himself being arrested that day for driving while intoxicated.
He recalled that Michael had a gunshot wound to his leg and other injuries suggesting a beating; later officers came and took him to what the caller presumed would be a hospital.
Maurice Rosenblum, who by then had raised the reward to $25,000 and come to believe that Michael was dead, told the media he would attempt to find the caller.
The Baldwin police said that there were no detainees in the lock-up that day, and reiterated that they had no knowledge of Michael's whereabouts.
In April 1988 a bone fragment and some scraps of clothing were found in the woods along the Monongahela near where the Sunbird was recovered eight years earlier.
The corduroy and shoe sole with them were consistent with the clothing Michael Rosenblum was wearing when Sharer saw him drive off.
As a result of this discovery, in late 1989 Maurice Rosenblum filed a petition to have his son declared legally dead.
Two years later, in April 1992, a hiker in the woods further down the Monongahela, in the Forty Acres that Gaburri had kept the searchers from looking in, found a fragment of a human skull.
In June the county coroner's office confirmed it was Michael Rosenblum's, after finding it matched the unique of head X-rays taken during his lifetime.
Maurice noted that it was found on the same day he received the headstone he had ordered for what was to be an empty grave; a psychic he had once consulted, who had never been to Pittsburgh, drew a map that located Michael's body near where the skull was found, he added.

It was active during the Pleistocene until 17,500 years BP, when a large eruption formed the wide Devil Mountain Maar and deposited tephra over , burying vegetation and forming the largest maar on Earth.
Other maars in the field are the North and South Killeak Maars and Whitefish Maar, and Devil Mountain is a shield volcano.
The large size of these maars has been attributed to the interaction between permafrost and ascending magma, which favoured intense explosive eruptions.
Soils buried underneath the Devil Mountain Maar tephra have been used to reconstruct the regional climate during the last glacial maximum.
Espenberg is located on a peninsula between the Chuckchi Sea to the north and west and Goodhope Bay to the east.
From east to west lie North and South Killeak Maar, Devil Mountain Maar and Whitefish Maar; additionally there are cinder cones, lava flows and five small shield-like volcanoes such as Devil Mountain.
Devil Mountain Maar is wide and deep, while North Killeak Maar, South Killeak Maar and Whitefish Maar are , and wide and the Killeak Maars reach depths of over ; Whitefish Maar is much shallower with a depth of .
Such dimensions make the Espenberg maars the largest on Earth and the Espenberg maars comparable in size with calderas; other maars at lower latitudes are much smaller.
The maars are mostly circular with the exception of Devil Mountain Maar, which is partly separated by a small sand spit into a northern wide North Devil Mountain Maar and a wide South Devil Mountain Maar; formerly they were considered to be two separate maars.
Eight wide and deep crater-like depressions lie underwater in Devil Mountain Maar and similar but partly filled depressions are also found at the Killeak Maars.
The Singeakpuk River, the Kalik River, the Kitluk River, the Espenberg River and the Kongachuk Creek flow through the volcanic field; the Kitluk River drains Devil Mountain Maar.
Green alder thickets and willow grow on the maar benches, at Tempest Lake north of Devil Mountain Maar the vegetation is characterized by a tundra featuring forbs, mosses, sedges and shrubs and is quite dense.
Native Americans used the maars as a source of fish and as hunting grounds, and remains of human activity have been identified at their shores.
In recent times, sediment cores were obtained from North Killeak Maar and Whitefish Maar; the former has been used to reconstruct the past climate of the region during the Holocene, including the occurrence of cold periods.
The non-maar vents at Espenberg appear to be over 500,000 years old, given that they are covered with vegetation and the lavas shattered by frost, and are probably older than the maars.
The Espenberg maars were originally considered to be of Holocene age, but research has shown that the latest eruptions occurred during the Pleistocene.
All maars formed in one complex eruption sequence which in the case of Devil Mountain Maar probably lasted only a few weeks to months.
During the eruption, numerous individual explosions and surges took place and emplaced base surges and Strombolian deposits, while frozen blocks of sediment were ejected from the vents.
Plant remains found buried underneath the tephra are well preserved and have been used to infer climatic and biotic conditions during the last glacial maximum in the region; vegetation at that time was apparently different from today and there was no widespread ice cover.
The eruption of the Killeak Maars also produced tephra deposits, which are also found in lakes and have similar compositions to the tephra of the Devil Mountain Maar.
The Espenberg maars are the first known maars to have formed within permafrost; other large maars in permafrost have been found in the Pali-Aike volcanic field of Argentina.
Interactions between magma and ice are different than these between lava and ice, as ice conducts heat only slowly and a large amount of energy is consumed during its sublimation; thus its melting and explosive evaporation occurs only slowly.
The abundant ice would have produced a limited amount of water, creating an ideal environment for highly explosive eruptions which may have been further intensified by the release of methane during the thawing of the permafrost.
Landslides at the margins of the volcanic vents expanded the forming craters and supplied additional ice to the evaporation processes, ultimately yielding the large size of the Espenberg maars.
The eruptions that formed the Espenberg maars occurred during fully glacial climate, while interglacial (including Holocene) eruptions on the Seward Peninsula have yielded lava flows; this implies that the glacial climate influenced the types of eruption that took place.
The volcano was active during the Pliocene and into the Holocene; a major eruption occurred in 1254 CE and deposited tephra over much of Antarctica.
Such an occurrence of mosses on fumarolically active volcanoes of Antarctica is limited to Mount Rittmann, Mount Melbourne and Mount Erebus and has led to efforts to establish a protected area on the volcano.
A or wide caldera is located underneath the Aviator Glacier; it is outlined by a ring of volcanic hills and outcrops that emerge from an almost flat surrounding terrain.
The base of the volcano crops out from the Pilot Glacier, which together with the caldera is one of the few parts of the otherwise snow- and ice-covered volcano that crop out from the ice.
An Italian expedition in 1990–1991 discovered heated ground and fumaroles at the caldera, implying that molten magma exists underneath the volcano.
The fumarolic activity occurs at a wide and high face with sandy-gravelly soil; another warm area is reported from the lower slopes.
The fumaroles keep an area of the caldera at elevation ice-free; at elevation mean temperatures are , but fumarolic activity heats the surrounding rocks up to .
A steady supply of water, the fumarolic warmth and shelter allow the growth of this vegetation; such volcanic vegetation is also found at volcanoes Mount Erebus and Mount Melbourne.
Together with Deception Island, Mount Erebus and Mount Melbourne, Mount Rittmann is one of the four volcanoes in Antarctica with known geothermal habitats and the least studied of these.
There are efforts by Antarctica New Zealand to establish an Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) on Mount Rittmann, and in 2014 Mount Rittmann was reportedly part of ASPA 175.
It has been subdivided into four subprovinces; Mount Rittmann is considered part of the Melbourne subprovince or of the Mount Overlord volcanic field.
The volcanic rocks define a basanitic, hawaiitic, mugearitic, phonolithic and trachytic suite that is alkaline and sodic and features olivine and plagioclase phenocrysts.
The volcano is of Pliocene age and was active between 4 million years ago and 70,000 years ago; radiometric dating has yielded ages of 3.97 million years for rocks at the base of Mount Rittmann and 240,000 ± 200,000, 170,000 ± 20,000 and 70,000 ± 20,000 years ago for lava flows.
Eemian-age tephras at Talos Dome in East Antarctica and dust bands found in blue-ice areas of Frontier Mountain and Lichen Hill in Victoria Land may originate from Mount Rittmann.
It probably was one of the largest Holocene eruptions of Antarctica; before its source at Mount Rittmann was discovered it was attributed to The Pleiades volcanoes.
A repeat of the 1254 eruption could form a long-lasting ash cloud, ashfall on nearby research stations and disruption of air traffic to and from McMurdo Station.
Volcanic rocks appear to be 1,000s or 10,000s of years old and there is no evidence of Holocene activity but the volcanic field was active in recent times and seismic swarms have been recorded.
It was discovered to be hydrothermally active by NOAA in 2003 and first mapped by the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) ROPOS in 2004.
Hydrophones were placed at the summit and vent during several dives, and the volcano has repeatedly been targeted by dives of ROVs.
The intensity of the eruptions is dampened by the fact that they occur underwater, allowing more direct observations than would be possible at subaerial volcanoes.
The summit and slopes of the volcano are covered by volcanic debris (including ash and sand), sulfur globules and talus, with rock and lava outcrops and cemented breccia.
One such landslide took place on the 14 August 2009 and removed debris that had accumulated around Brimstone Pit as well as the southern parts of the summit.
This landslide had a volume of about or but despite this large volume it did not result in a detectable tsunami.
It left rocky outcrops exposed that had previously been buried under looser material and which probably form the core of the volcano.
Such plumes are an unique trait of volcanism at NW Rota-1 and are also found at Kavachi, Monowai and West Mata submarine volcanoes.
Cycles of volcano growth and collapse have been found at other seamounts like Monowai and West Mata, and much larger and less frequent collapses are recorded from large intraplate volcanoes such as Hawaii.
Sulfur has been found encased in ejecta, which are often covered in volcanic glass from the interaction between seawater and lava.
The formation of NW Rota-1 magmas appears to involve the melting of subducted, water-bearing sediments and the interaction of the resulting melts with the mantle wedge.
The interaction products rise as diapirs in two distinct populations, one with a large sediment component and one with a small one.
The particle-rich plumes and most exhalations originate from Brimstone Pit crater, but hydrothermal plumes have been attributed to diffuse degassing at the summit.
Because the water in the plumes is warmer than surrounding seawater, it rises under its own buoyancy about above the vents.
The water in the plumes is acid and enriched in aluminum, the helium isotope helium-3, iron, manganese, phosphorus, silicon and sulfur are enriched in the plumes.
Some vents continuously emit carbon dioxide bubbles, others only cyclically.Sulfur is generated by the mixture of sulfur-containing gases with water and forms droplets of liquid sulfur.
Sulfur globules form from such droplets; they cover the ground like a powdery dusting and have been recovered from the surfaces of ROVs.
These compounds appear to originate both through direct venting from the volcano, interactions with seawater and the interaction of the exhalations with the volcanic rocks.
Vents above Brimstone Pit and on the eastern ridge are covered with microbial mats and these in turn are frequented by animals such as copepods, crabs, limpets, polychaetes and shrimp.
A larger animal community has been found at the northwesterly summit; it includes amphipods, anemones, copepods, crabs, fish, isopods, jellyfish, ostracods and polychaetes.
Eruptions took place in 2004, 2005, 2006 - each of the eruptions occurring in a different physical context and with different characteristics - 2009 and 2010.
This is followed by the abrupt condensation of the steam and the collapse of bubbles, which are recorded by hydrophones as pulsating sounds.
The eruptions appear to be part of a long-term eruption during which cones form and collapse at Brimstone Pit and water in the magma drives explosive bursts.
Between 2009 and 2010 hydrophones recorded numerous acoustic signals, reflecting the steady eruptions, and tremors which may originate in the magmatic conduit.
An intense acoustic signal recorded between August 12 and August 16 2009 exhibited high amplitudes and low frequencies, with two distinct pulses on 14 August 2009.
A seismic swarm took place northwest of NW Rota-1 in April 2009 and was presumably caused by magma intrusion, which may relate to the subsequent eruption.
Capricorn Seamount is located on the eastern flank of the Tonga Trench and is in the process of breaking up; in turn the trench has been altered by the interaction with the downgoing seamount.
First examined by the during the Capricorn Expedition of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, it was successfully dredged in 1958 by the during the Pacific Cruise of the New Zealand Oceanographic Institute.
A north-northeast trending scarp separates the flat top from another, shallower flat-topped knoll on the eastern side of the flat top which also tilts westwards; the shallowest point of the seamount lies on this knoll.
Dredging has yielded pelagic ooze containing abyssal clay, basaltic breccia, dark pumice, dead corals, faecal pellets, fossils of foraminifera, gastropods and pteropods, limestones with brown manganese dioxide encrustations, otoliths and sand.
Capricorn Seamount likely formed in the Miocene (23-5 million years ago) as a volcano, perhaps part of a hotspot track which also includes Niue.
It is unclear whether it ever featured coral reefs as no evidence of such growth has been found although foraminifera data point to their past existence.
Capricorn Seamount is not the first seamount there to be subducted into the Tonga Trench, and previous subduction events may have deformed the trench.
A earthquake occurred in 1919 at the trench next to Capricorn Seamount and caused a tsunami; it might also have induced a submarine landslide on the seamount.
A lower fallout unit consisting of lapilli and volcanic ash extends several kilometres from the volcano, and remnants occur as far as from it.
For the past five millennia, the volcano has been used as a source of obsidian, which occurs at in the form of blocks and nodules of various colours, and is of high quality.

Construction started in June 1935, with five apartments on each floor, plus a single rooftop apartment, making 21 apartments in total.
It is an important timber tree in Russia, China and Korea, and is occasionally planted as a street tree in cities with colder climates.
It is native to the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea where it occurs in the intertidal and shallow sub-tidal zones on soft sediment.
Like other members of the genus, the prostomium bears two pairs of antennae, a pair of eyes and a pair of large, retractile, nuchal organs.
The proximal part of the proboscis bears about 25 longitudinal rows of tiny papillae, and the distal part bears 6 longitudinal rows of larger, knob-like protuberances, and a ring of papillae at the tip.
The eyes are red and there is some dark pigmentation in front of them and along the sides of the body.

Phallon Tullis-Joyce (born October 19, 1996) is an American soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for French Division 1 Féminine club Stade de Reims.
During the 1920s, The Australian hotelier Jim Cavill (born James Freeman Cavill) purchased 10 acres of land in Elston (now Surfers Paradise).
The land has previously been developed by previous owners but 1925 marked the openings of the Jubilee Bridge and the South Coast Road, opening up the area to a new flow of driving tourists.
That year (or in 1928), Jim Cavill opened the Surfers Paradise Hotel, a 16-bedroom hotel located on the intersection of the South Coast Road and the old coach track.
In July1936, the timber-built hotel burned down and was entirely rebuilt in bricks the following year, reopening in September 1937 with telephones in every room.
Evangeline Florence (12 December 1867 – 1 November 1928) was an American-born soprano who built a successful concert career in Great Britain.
In November 1890 Houghton took part in the 12th annual festival of the South Eastern Massachusetts Musical Association, directed by Carl Zerrahn.
In November 1890 ‘Miss Evangeline Houghton, Assisted by Her Three Brothers, Vocalists, and Orchestra of Six Pieces’ sang at Piedmont Church.
On arriving in Great Britain she dropped her surname to prevent confusion with another singer of the same name in London at that time.
In the reviews the critics were appreciative of her high notes, recording: ‘the reports concerning the phenomenal compass of her voice proved to be in no way exaggerated.
In 1894 Florence sang at the Hereford Festival, while in 1895 she made a 30-concert tour through Australia and toured Europe during late 1898 and early 1899.
In 1896 and 1898 she sang in the Promenade Concert under the baton of Henry Wood while in 1897 and 1900 she was at the Birmingham Festival and appeared frequently with the Royal Philharmonic Society and Royal Choral Society.
In February 1898 she put on her own concert at St James's Hall in which she sang Mozart and Brahms, among others.
While in London she gained a solid reputation as a concert soprano, a genre she cultivated almost exclusively until her retirement.

Chief Luqman Ilaka was the senatorial candidate of the People's Democratic Party, PDP in the 2019 National Assembly election which was won by Senator Teslim Folarin of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In 2019, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, Engineer Seyi Makinde made his first appointment in office by appointing Chief Oyebisi Ilaka as his Chief of Staff.
He was preceded by Dr Gbade Ojo who resigned as the Chief of Staff to former Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.The formal Chief of Staff resigned because of his expiration of leave of absence obtained from the University of Ilorin, where he was a lecturer.
Between 1994 and 1997, he worked for Guardian Royal Exchange Assurance, a large British insurance company where he served as a Tax/Financial Consultant dealing with life assurance, investments, inheritance tax and mortgage cases.
He worked on diverse area of law at Salfiti and Co Solicitors based in London particularly, land, trust and commercial cases.
He was conferred with the prestigious title of ‘Ladilu of Oyo Kingdom’ by His Royal Highness, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, Alaafin of Oyo in 2006.
He made important contributions to the areas of differential calculus over commutative algebras, the algebraic theory of differential operators, homological algebra, differential geometry and algebraic topology, mechanics and mathematical physics, the geometrical theory of nonlinear partial differential equations and secondary calculus.
Among his more distant ancestors, his great-grandfather Anton Smagin, a self-taught peasant and a deputy of the State Duma of the second convocation stand out.
In 1955 A.M. Vinogradov entered the Mechanics and Mathematics Department of Moscow State University (Mech-mat), began his Ph.D. in 1960 and completed it in 1964.
In 1965, he received a position at the Department of Higher Geometry and Topology of Moscow State University, where he worked until he left the Soviet Union for Italy in 1990.
He obtained the next degree (doktorskaya dissertatsiya) in 1984 at the Institute of Mathematics of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Science in Novosibirsk in Russia.
By the end of his undergraduate years, he was contributing to the A.S. Schwartz seminar, and started working on algebraic topology.
Vinogradov continued working in algebraic and differential topology – in particular, on the Adams spectral sequence – until the early seventies, and he started his own research seminar in 1967.
Between the sixties and the seventes, inspired by the ideas of Sophus Lie, he began to investigate the foundations of the geometric theory of partial differential equations.
Having become familiar with the work of Spencer, Goldschmidt and Quillen on formal integrability, he turned his attention to the algebraic (in particular, cohomological) component of that theory.
Vinogradov’s approach to nonlinear differential equations as geometric objects, with their general theory and applications, is developed in detail in the monographs [2], [3] and [4], as well as in some articles [5], [6], [22].
He united infinitely prolonged differential equations into a category [7] whose objects, called diffieties (= differential varieties), are studied in the framework of what he called secondary calculus (by analogy with secondary quantization) [8], [9].
One of the central parts of this theory is based on the C-spectral sequence (now known as the Vinogradov spectral sequence) [10], [11].
The first term of this spectral sequence gives a unified cohomological approach to various notions and statements, including the Lagrangian formalism with constraints, conservation laws, cosymmetries, the Noether theorem, and the Helmholtz criterion in the inverse problem of the calculus of variations (for arbitrary nonlinear differential operators).
Furthermore, Vinogradov introduced the construction of a new bracket on the graded algebra of linear transformations of a cochain complex [12].
Vinogradov’s construction precursed the general concept of a derived bracket on a differential Loday (or Leibniz) algebra introduced by Y. Kosmann-Schwarzbach in 1996 [13].
Furthermore, together with coauthors, Vinogradov was concerned with the analysis and comparison of various generalizations of Lie (super) algebras, including formula_1 algebras and Filippov algebras [16].
The research interests of Alexandre M. Vinogradov were also motivated by problems of contemporary physics – for example the structure of Hamiltonian mechanics [23], [24], the dynamics of acoustic beams [17], the equations of magnetohydrodynamics (the so-called Kadomtsev-Pogutse equations appearing in the stability theory of high-temperature plasma in tokamaks) [18] and mathematical questions in general relativity [19], [20], [21].
Considerable attention to the mathematical understanding of the fundamental physical notion of observable is given in the book [4], written by Vinogradov jointly with several participants of his seminar under the pen name of Jet Nestruev.
From 1998 to 2019, Vinogradov organized and directed the so-called Diffiety Schools in Italy, Russia, and Poland in which were taught the ideas about differential calculus over commutative algebras, the algebraic theory of differential operators, the geometrical theory of nonlinear partial differential equations, the concept of a diffiety, the Vinogradov (C-spectral) sequence and secondary calculus.
Vinogradov was one of the initial organizers of the Schrödinger International Institute in Mathematical Physics in Vienna, as well as of the mathematical journal Differential Geometry and its Applications, remaining one of the editors to his last days.
In 1985, he created a laboratory that studied various aspects of the geometry of differential equations at the Institute of Programming Systems in Pereslavl-Zalessky and headed it until he left for Italy.
In the U23 class he competed at the 2016 and 2018 World Junior Championships, claiming the sprint bronze medal in 2018.
Competing in nothing but sprint, he collected his first World Cup points a year later in Drammen with an eighth place.

Breakers is a science fiction text adventure released in 1986 by Synapse Software, a division of Broderbund, for the Apple II, Atari ST, Commodore 64, and MS-DOS.
The planet Borg is threatened by a telepathic collision with a mysterious twin planet, a collision that cannot be proven using scientific methods.
The Breakers kill six of the seven Lau, but are then surprised by a squad of Gaks, the security forces of the United Mining Combine.
In the course of the fighting, the surviving seventh Lau — the character controlled by the player — loses consciousness and wakes up in orbit on the space station.
The player must first become familiar with the social network of the residents of the space station, take sides in a dispute between enemy smugglers and uncover cases of drug and human trafficking.
The player also has to deal with the question of why United Mining Combine operates the space station in orbit at Borg, sometimes in high secrecy, even though all raw material deposits from the planet have already been depleted.
It also provided the copy protection for the game — at various points during the game, the player would be asked for a specific word from the novella.
He noted that while other companies had made giant advances in their game parsers, the BTZ parser showed no improvement from previous games; Adams was critical of this, saying that two years after its development, the BTZ parser still required precise inputs instead of analyzing intuitive player behavior.

Established in 1999, it spreads over 354 hectares and protects a group of sites recognised for their rich geology, flora and fauna.
At the northern end of the Ardennes department, the nature reserve territory consists of 11 entities localized on the communes of Charnois, Chooz, Foisches, Fromelennes, Givet, and Rancennes for a total area of 354 hectares.
The nature reserve offers a landscape with multiple aspects, composed of forests, moors, dry lawns as well as spectacular rocky escarpments.
But rocks diversity is broad; in addition to a limestone known as , there are shales, sandstones, an old fluorite quarry and many fossils, notably trilobites.
The geographical location of Givet Pointe, spectacular relief of certain sites, existence of hot and dry micro-climates have allowed the development of a southern flora exceptional at this latitude.
The richness in insects and existence of caves explain the presence of 12 species of bats, some of which fall under the Habitats Directive (92/43 / EEC): lesser horseshoe bat, greater horseshoe bat, greater mouse-eared bat, Geoffroy's bat...
Over 70 species of birds have been identified to date, a third of which are registered on the Regional Red List, such as Eurasian eagle-owl, European nightjar and woodlark.
As of 2020, 171 insect species have thus far been identified, including 78 Lepidoptera Papilionoidea such as Erebia medusa, silver-studded blue, large copper or marsh fritillary.
It is linked to natural habitats, landscapes (steep gradients) and biodiversity they shelter, but also to geological riches of the site and its cultural aspects.
The nature reserve was classified in application of the law of July 10, 1976 by a decree of March 4, 1999.

Haaf net fishing is an ancient type of salmon and sea trout net fishing practised in Britain, and is particularly associated with the estuary forming part of the border between England and Scotland, known as the Solway Firth.
The technique involves fishermen standing chest-deep in the sea and using large submerged framed nets to scoop up fish that swim towards them.
It is a form of fishing that is believed to have been brought to Britain by the Vikings more than a thousand years ago and to have been practised in the Solway Firth since then.
The number of haaf net fishermen has dwindled over the last 50 years and the activity has been restricted by salmon conservation measures.
Haaf net fishing is a type of salmon and sea trout fishing which is practised in South West Scotland and North West England.
In the 1870s, Spencer Walpole reported that haaf net fishing was taking place in the estuaries of the Lune and Ribble in Lancashire, and in the Severn Estuary in South West England.
In the 1970s, there were over a 100 haaf net fishermen based in towns such as Annan or Gretna making a good living.
From the 1980s, the economics of fishing with haaf nets meant that numbers have significantly reduced with only 30 individuals currently practising the technique.
On the Scottish side of the Firth, since 2016, the Scottish Government has introduced salmon conservation measures resulting in haaf net fishermen being required to release alive any salmon they catch.
The English side of the Firth is regulated by the Environment Agency which, after a consultation process, introduced similar restrictions in 2018.
As a consequence, the Solway’s haaf net community believe the survival of their traditions is threatened and is seeking exemptions from these requirements and official recognition that haaf netting should be protected as a culturally important and historic activity.
In response, Marine Scotland, the Scottish Government agency responsible for fish conservation, has said that the issue is that the salmon stocks of the Firth of Solway feed into rivers with differing levels of salmon sustainability and some of the rivers have low levels.
It is set in a rectangular wooden frame usually about four or five metres long and two metres wide supported by three legs.
The technique involves the haaf net being submerged in the water, while the fisherman holds it upright with the central pole.
When a salmon swims into the net the fisherman tilts the pole backwards to scoop the net upwards, thereby trapping the fish.

Mount Bertha is a 10,204-foot (3,110 meter) glaciated mountain summit located in the Fairweather Range of the Saint Elias Mountains, in southeast Alaska, United States.
The peak is situated in Glacier Bay National Park, east-northeast of Mount Crillon which is the nearest higher peak, and southeast of Mount Fairweather, which is the highest peak in the Fairweather Range.
The USGS claims it was named after S.S. Bertha, an Alaska Commercial Company steamer in service from 1888 until it wrecked at Uyak Bay on July 18, 1915.
However, according to Bradford Washburn of the Boston Museum of Science and American Mountaineering Museum, this feature was named for a prostitute in Skagway known by members of the International Boundary Commission who surveyed the area.
The first ascent of the peak was made July 30, 1940, by Bradford Washburn, his wife Barbara Washburn, Maynard Miller, Michl Feuersinger, and Thomas Winship.

The Cymmer Colliery explosion occurred in the early morning of 15 July 1856 at the Old Pit mine of the Cymmer Colliery near Porth (lower Rhondda Valley), Wales, operated by George Insole & Son.
The local communities were outraged that the ensuing legal proceedings resulted in the complete exoneration of the mine owner and his officials from all blame for the disaster.
The Crimean War created increased demand for coal and in 1855 Insole intensified his mining operations at the Old Pit, doubling the number of colliers and increasing the mine area by over a third.
It was the success of [the Cymmer Old Pit mine] when developed with such inordinate speed and recklessness by [George Insole's] son, James Harvey Insole, that led directly to the terrible mining disaster of 1856.
On Tuesday, 15 July 1856, 160 men and boys descended the Old Pit mine shaft to commence their 6 a.m. shift.
As they made their way to their workplaces underground there was an explosion of gas near the mine entrance which trapped the colliers already deeper in the mine.
By that evening, 112 bodies had been recovered, another was brought up the next day and a severely burnt collier died the following day.
The coroner's inquest began on 16 July 1856 in Porth before the North Glamorgan coroner George Overton and a jury of eighteen.
The evidence indicated that the explosion was due to defective mine ventilation and the use of naked flames underground, despite warnings having been sent to the mine owner by HM Inspector of Mines, Herbert Francis Mackworth.
Among the 114 victims, thirty-four were boys under the age of sixteen and another fifteen were under the age of twelve.
However, the mine manager, Jabez Thomas, and mine officials Rowland Rowlands (), Morgan Rowlands (fireman), David Jones (fireman), and William Thomas (fireman), were charged with manslaughter for their negligence causing the deaths of 114 men.
... in as much as Mr. Jabez Thomas was the above ground manager and did not go underground, he could not be held responsible ... [and] as regards the other men no direct case of omission was brought against them and he could not see how they could be guilty of manslaughter.
He did not care to conceal that he was a zealous advocate of the prisoners at the bar, and that he was trying a cause which, in his opinion, ought never to have come into Court.
To the deep distress and anger of the local mining communities, the final result of the legal proceedings was that the mine owner and his officials were exonerated from all blame.
Possibly the legal processes of the time were insufficient to punish those who were culpable, but of the moral responsibility of owner and officials, even when judged against the background of their own time and place, there can be no question.
Thirty graves were opened at the Cymmer Independent Chapel's graveyard and the bodies of 48 victims were interred there on 17 July 1856 in the presence of huge crowds (one report estimated 15,000 people).
Mackworth reported that:however gross may have been the neglect which caused the husband's death, all interests are arrayed against the survivors.
The colliers, the jury, the means of legal redress are subject to the influence ... of the proprietor of the collieries; the cost of an administration before an action can be commenced, and the difficulty of obtaining a solicitor who will undertake the odium and the risk, unite in forming an insuperable bar to the claim of the widow.
However, local coal owners also combined to deny work to those colliers who had given evidence against the mine officials at the inquest and trial.
Laments were published and, marking the first anniversary of the disaster, a song was patronised by Mrs Insole of Ely Court (Insole's wife) in aid of the relief fund.

Dabney began working with James Reese Europe at the Clef Club in the 1910s, and together collaborated with Florenz Ziegfeld on his shows in New York City (including at the New Amsterdam Theater from 1913 to 1921).

After Europe's death, Dabney continued on with his own ensembles, including Dabney's Band and Ford Dabney's Syncopated Orchestra, the latter of which recorded for Belvedere Records and Puritan Records.
As a side note, when Wright was released on March 30, 1927, he, with his wife Lillie, lived in Roxbury, Boston, at 23 Haskins Street, working as an elevator operator, a dance band drummer, and a private drum teacher.
Ford Dabney's stepmother, Gertrude, in 1929, held the distinction of serving on the first all-women jury in Washington, D.C. She was the only non-white.
Dabney married on March 14, 1912, in Washington to Martha D. Gans, widow of boxer Joe Gans who owned the Goldfield Hotel in Baltimore at the corner of East Lexington and Colvin Streets.

Ashley Lin or Lin Shan (; born March 12, 2003) is a Chinese-American figure skater, who represents China in ladies' singles.
Lin became a naturalized Chinese citizen in early 2019, and thus relinquished her U.S. citizenship, as China does not allow dual nationality.
Lin was 21st after the short program at the 2018 U.S. Championships, and later withdrew from the free skating for unspecified reasons.
She made her senior international debut at 2018 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, where she earned personal bests in all segments to place fifth overall.
Lin then competed at 2018 CS Inge Solar Memorial – Alpen Trophy, where she narrowly missed the podium, finishing in fourth 0.06 points behind Australia's Brooklee Han after a free skating comeback.
Lin officially switched to representing her parents' native country of China in 2019, as part of the country's initiative to recruit top athletes leading up to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
According to International Skating Union rules for switching nationalities, she was required to sit out international competition for a year dating from her last international appearance, making her ineligible for Challenger Series and Junior Grand Prix/Grand Prix events.
Her coach, Chen Lu, told media that they were aiming to refine details and increase Lin's difficulty in the lead-up to the Olympics.
The Chinese Skating Association arranged for Lin to train with coaches Eteri Tutberidze, Sergei Dudakov, and Daniil Gleikhengauz in Moscow, Russia for two weeks in October.
She continues to do research in astrophysics, working with Dr. Brooke Simmons at the University of California, San Diego and Dr. Chris Lintott of Zooniverse.

Gender sensitivity is the process by which people are made aware of how gender plays a role in life through their treatment of others.
Gender relations are present in all institutions and gender sensitivity especially manifests in recognizing privilege and discrimination around gender; women are generally seen as disadvantaged in society.
Gender sensitivity trainings are used to educate people, usually employees, to become more aware of and sensitive to gender in their lives or workplaces.
They are becoming more popular in the United States, particularly in areas of the service industry, such as healthcare and education.
Gender sensitivity in reproductive health is reliant on treating all clients with equal respect, regardless of sex, gender identity, marital status, sexual orientation, or age.
Indicators of gender-sensitive service include: refraining from discriminating against or stereotyping clients on the basis of sex or gender, treating all clients with equal respect, offering gender sensitivity training to all employees, and providing adequate representation of female care providers.
Gender sensitization promotes equality for men and women by allowing men and women to view what is stereotypical of and reasonable for their gender.
Therefore, teachers are in a position to teach children about gender sensitization through how they conduct their classroom and interact with their students.
Teachers who are successful at sensitizing their students to gender at a young age can influence a change in children's thought processes, which positions them to break societal stigmas in childhood and throughout life.
Educating children about gender identities that do not conform to the gender binary helps to break the stigma associated with these identities.
Indicators of masculinity in boys include cars, the color blue, and superheroes; indicators of femininity in girls include dolls, the color pink, and princesses.

The film stars Neil Breen, Sara Meritt, Siohbun Ebrahimi, Denise Bellini, Marty Dasis, Brad Stein, John Smith Burns, Art MacHenster, Greg Smith Burns, Ada Masters, and Jason Moriglio.
The film centers around identical twin brothers, Cade and Cale Altair, who become hybrid Artificial Intelligence entities, who are torn in different directions to achieve justice for humanity.
During their youth, Cade and his identical twin brother Cale (both portrayed by Neil Breen) were abducted by an unknown power and modified to become Humanoids, secret agents who are out to stop evil.
Cale meets with a lawyer, an executive and the President of The Bank and interrogates them for a while before he shoots one of them in the leg and leaves to do pills with his girlfriend Donna (portrayed by Siohbon Ebrahimi).
Cade's boss tells him about programmable virtual reality and how a man named Cuzzx (portrayed by Greg Smith Burns) is going to use it to conduct the biggest cyber and terror attack ever.
Cade finds four guys wearing VR goggles who are in some kind of trance, and in the next room, a very old person dressed like Cuzzx meeting with people.
Meanwhile, Cale tracks down and murders a rich executive, but the police find no evidence because Cale picked up the shell casings.
Cade pretends to be a rich investor who wants to give money to the Cuzzx Empire, which gets him a tour of Cuzzx' house.
Donna, Cale's pillhead girlfriend, breaks up with him and then runs into Cade, demanding to know where she can get more drugs and why he shaved his beard.
In the virtual reality forest, Cade and Alana reunite, they embrace and Alana tells him she loves him, and then disappears.
The film ends with Cade addressing the audience, accepting the loss of Alana, and stating that humanity will eventually live in a virtual universe.
Watching this trailer, you start to think that maybe this is a very elaborate joke, and Breen is just messing with us.
What it does have are some elements of science fiction, a murder mystery, espionage, romance, and even a touch of domestic drama, but none of it is cohesive, and none of it goes anywhere.
American culture has always championed the idea of a lone warrior setting out to right the wrongs of society, if not the world.
The All-American hero is a noticeably aged Neil Breen who either makes his enemies think about their actions or makes them pay for it.
While the CGI looks cheap and fake, that only adds to the fun during scenes where explosions awkwardly fill a classroom.
Watching him trying his best to emote sadness as he tries to persuade his brother (which is Breen with a cheap beard and a hoodie) to turn himself in to the cops is something to be witnessed—preferably with a few friends and some drinks.

Charles Ferdinand Venneman (7 January 1802, Ghent - 22 August 1875, Saint-Josse-ten-Noode) was a Belgian painter who specialized in anecdotal genre scenes, Flemish fairs, and landscapes with animals.
While there, he came under the influence of the works of David Teniers and Adriaen van Ostade; particularly those that depicted villagers and peasants having fun.
As with many prolific 19th century painters, he used a pitch-based paint that does not preserve color very well; leaving his works less colorful and nuanced than they were originally.

Motukaraka Island (Island of Karaka) is a uninhabited island off the coast of Beachlands in Auckland, New Zealand with historical significance and a rich history of Māori occupation.
The island is flat and approximately 15m above sea level with access from the mainland via a raised shellbank for approximately two hours either side of low tide.
The rocks surrounding the island are a popular day trip and fishing destination, although access to the top of the island is difficult due to the steep cliffs around it.
Historian Percy Smith records that in the late 18th Century Mutokaraka Island was a heavily fortified pā of about 100 members of the tribe Ngāti Pāoa.
In the 1920s the island was used for various farming purposes, including growing Karaka, breeding rabbits and farming potatoes, with a chute built to drop the bags of potatoes down unto waiting carts.
At various times stairs have been present to allow easy access to the island but drainage issues and the harsh environment have required their removal.
The Intermountain Collegiate Athletic Conference (ICAC) is a defunct U.S. junior college athletic conference for schools in the states of Colorado, Idaho, and Utah that existed from 1936 to 1984.
In 1939, the league saw its largest membership when Carbon Junior College (later College of Eastern Utah) and Snow College joined.
In the early 1940s, the league saw disruption due to the outbreak of World War II – Ricks and Albion were forced to leave prior to the 1941 season, while Weber and Westminster were forced to leave prior to the 1942 season.
Prior to 1948, Mesa left the league, while Westminster and Ricks rejoined, and a new member also joined – Boise Junior College (later Boise College).
In 1985, the NJCAA realigned its regions in response to a large number of Oregon and Washington schools leaving the organization to form the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges.
NJCAA Region 18 was expanded to include schools in Utah, which resulted in all ICAC members being merged into the Scenic West Athletic Conference (Ricks had already been a member of the SWAC in non-football sports since 1968).

In discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science, the rotation distance between two binary trees with the same number of nodes is the minimum number of tree rotations needed to reconfigure one tree into another.
Because of a combinatorial equivalence between binary trees and triangulations of convex polygons, rotation distance is equivalent to the flip distance for triangulations of convex polygons.
Each binary tree has a left-to-right ordering of its nodes, its inorder traversal, obtained by recursively traversing the left subtree (the subtree at the left child of the root, if such a child exists), then listing the root itself, and then recursively traversing the right subtree.
In a binary search tree, each node is associated with a search key, and the left-to-right ordering is required to be consistent with the order of the keys.
A rotation operates on two nodes and , where is the parent of , and restructures the tree by making be the parent of and taking the place of in the tree.
To free up one of the child links of and make room to link as a child of , this operation may also need to move one of the children of to become a child of .
Any two trees that have the same left-to-right sequence of nodes may be transformed into each other by a sequence of rotations.
The rotation distance between the two trees is the number of rotations in the shortest possible sequence of rotations that performs this transformation.
Flips and flip distances can be defined in this way for several different kinds of triangulations, including triangulations of sets of points in the Euclidean plane, triangulations of polygons, and triangulations of abstract manifolds.
There is a one-to-one correspondence between triangulations of a given convex polygon, with a designated root edge, and binary trees, taking triangulations of -sided polygons into binary trees with nodes.
The root node is the triangle having the designated root edge as one of its sides, and two nodes are linked as parent and child in the tree when the corresponding triangles share a diagonal in the triangulation.
If a tree has the property that not all nodes belong to the right spine, there always exists a right rotation that increases the length of the right spine.
For, in this case, there exists at least one node on the right spine that has a left child that is not on the right spine.
By repeatedly increasing the length of the right spine, any -node tree can be transformed into the unique tree with the same node order in which all nodes belong to the right spine, in at most steps.
Given any two trees with the same node order, one can transform one into the other by transforming the first tree into a tree with all nodes on the right spine, and then reversing the same transformation of the second tree, in a total of at most steps.
By considering the problem in terms of flips of convex polygons instead of rotations of trees, were able to show that the rotation distance is at most .
In terms of triangulations of convex polygons, the right spine is the sequence of triangles incident to the right endpoint of the root edge, and the tree in which all vertices lie on the spine corresponds to a fan triangulation for this vertex.
The main idea of their improvement is to try flipping both given triangulations to a fan triangulation for any vertex, rather than only the one for the right endpoint of the root edge.
It is not possible for all of these choices to simultaneously give the worst-case distance from each starting triangulation, giving the improvement.
The existence of short rotation sequences between any two trees implies that testing whether the rotation distance is at most belongs to the complexity class NP, but it is not known to be NP-complete, nor is it known to be solvable in polynomial time.
The rotation distance between any two trees can be lower bounded, in the equivalent view of polygon triangulations, by the number of diagonals that need to be removed from one triangulation and replaced by other diagonals to produce the other triangulation.
by partitioning the problem into subproblems along any diagonals shared between both triangulations and then applying the method of to each subproblem.
A similar approach of partitioning into subproblems along shared diagonals leads to a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm for computing the rotation distance exactly.
Determining the complexity of computing the rotation distance exactly without parameterization remains unsolved, and the best algorithms currently known for the problem run in exponential time.
As it was performed in Istanbul, Turkey on December 8, 2019, the police interfered and detained several of the dancing protestors.
Edward Stanley Gotch Robinson (1887-1976) was a numismatist, specializing in Greek and Roman coins, and Keeper of the Department of Coins and Medals at the British Museum.
He joined the British School in Athens, 1910-11, and then the Department of Coins and Medals at the British Museum in 1912.
He enlisted in the army in 1914, but was wounded in combat in France, and, after a stint at the Home Office, returned to the British Museum, eventually becoming Deptuty Keeper in 1936, and Keeper (Head) of the Department, 1949-52.
He was then appointed Reader in Numismatics, at the University of Oxford, and advised art collector Calouste Gulbenkian on his numismatic collection.
He retired in 1955, but continued to advise in the Heberden Coin Room at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, to which he endowed his own collection in 1964.
The Douglas Steamship Company was a British merchant shipping and maritime trading company founded in 1883 in the Crown colony of Hong Kong by John Steward Lapraik and dissolved in 1987.
After arriving in Hong Kong in 1858 to join his uncle, Douglas Lapraik's shipping empire at Douglas Lapraik & Company, John Steward Lapraik quickly became one of main figures in the business.
With the death of Douglas Lapraik in 1869, John Steward Lapraik became one of the main beneficiaries of his uncle's estate together with Robert Ellis Baker, William Lane and Robert Manger.
Due likely to reasons related to desired control over operations underway at Douglas Lapraik & Company and future expansion opportunities, in 1883, John Steward Lapraik founded the Douglas Steamship Company 28 July 1883 with two partners.
By 1892, the Douglas Steamship Company sucessfully acquired the operations of Francis Cass of Amoy to form a new subsidiary called Lapraik, Cass & Company which would continue operations out of Amoy.
In the same year, Douglas Steamship Company also acquired Dodd & Company of Tamsui on Formosa which would go on to be a bastion of the company's activities.
The same year, the Douglas Steamship Company issued around $1,000,000 HKD in new share capital following the publication of a prospectus.
In 1893, John Steward Lapraik died of heart disease in Hong Kong at the age of 54 and a large portion of his estate was passed to his son, John Douglas Lapraik.
T. E. Davies succeeded in taking control of the company following the death of Steward Lapraik with Davis being succeeded in turn in 1900 by JH Lewis who ran the company together with John Douglas Lapraik and Henry Percy White.
In Hong Kong, the company moved its headquarters from the Praya, or Connaught Road following the Praya Reclamation Scheme, to Douglas Street, Central.
Indeed, the company's success was apparently seen as a threat to the island's Japanese government and in March of 1899, Governor Kodama Gentarō issued secret orders subsidising Japanese companies to compete with Douglas Steamship Company.
After the loss of the Formosa trade, the company retained its operations in the China and river trade, however it met with financial difficulties by the late 1920s.
With the outbreak of WWII, the company had most of its ships seized by the Ministry of War Transport and with the capture of Hong Kong by the Imperial Japanese Army in December 1941, most of the staff of the DSCo were interred in prison camps in Hong Kong, including Stewart Taylor Williamson.
Stewart Taylor Williamson died suddenly on 5 September 1950, ceding control of the company to James Robertson Mullion who became the new chairman with Robert Ho Tung and John David Alexander serving as directors.
Considering the exposed financial state of the company, Mullion divested of the remaining two ships and focused the business activities of the company in investments.
By the mid 1950s, the company had secured its finances enough to resume its investments in shipping and it acquired three further ships.
By 1969, James Robertson Mullion became the controlling stakeholder of DSCo and he attempted to introduce several structural changes to the business, however, by 1972, the company was running large losses and Mullion was forced to inject $1.3 Million HKD of his own money into the company to keep it solvent.
This move was eventually unsuccessful and by 21 July 1976, the company's board voted to enter liquidation and wind up the company.

Bernard Malissen's work focused mainly on describing the genetic recombination mechanisms that allow the synthesis of T-cell receptors (TCR) - the surface receptor that triggers cell differentiation of the T-cell that carries it and contributes to the body's defences against infectious agents or tumours - and on studying their three-dimensional structure.
In the 1980s, he also developed gene transfer approaches to reconstruct the TCR multi-molecular complex from scratch to study how it induces T lymphocyte activation, and then his team developed transgenic mouse models to study T cell development and function in their physiological context.
Using functional genomics tools, Bernard Malissen was able to describe the different types of dendritic cells - which are responsible for capturing and presenting T cell antigens particularly effectively - present in tissues such as skin and how they perform sentinel functions.

Since 28 November 1893, it has connected in La Chaux-de-Fonds at a common station with the also metre-gauge Saignelégier–La Chaux-de-Fonds railway (SC), which since 1 January 1944 has been part of the Chemins de fer du Jura (CJ).
The line leaves La Chaux-de-Fonds station (at 994 metres above sea level) on a steep gradient of 4.0 percent and reaches its high point of 1120 metres after passing through a tunnel in Reymond.
At the foot of a spur that it has just crossed, the line runs in an almost straight line to La Sagne and from there with a descent of only 1.6 percent to Les Ponts-de-Martel, including a short climb of 1.0 percent.
The continuation to Convers was opened by the same company on 27 November 1859 and provided a connection to Neuchâtel until mid-1860, while the line to Biel/Bienne was opened by the Jura bernois (JB) in mid-1874.
On 17 December 1888, the Jura–Bern–Luzern (JBL) company opened the direct line from Biel to La Chaux-de-Fonds through the Crosettes tunnel and the Renan–Le Convers connection was closed in 1895.

Armando Molina, was a Mexican concert promoter, musician and rock music impresario best remembered for being the music coordinator of the Avandaro Festival in 1971.
A piano child prodigy, he debuted at 8 years old playing Albéniz and others at the prestigious Sala Chopin and at 14 he switched his attention from piano to rock music after listening to the early rock and roll bands from Latin America such as Jopis and Teen Tops.
It was at this point that he had to choose between becoming a professional soccer player or continue as a full-time professional musician/impresario.
As both acts refused to be involved in the show, Promotora Go requested Molina to book his own bands from ArTe.
Molina was formally appointed as Music Coordinator and in compensation, he was entitled to keep all royalties from the projected Soundtrack that was going to be produced by Polydor Records as they were appointed to capture all audio from the festival.
In the aftermath of the Festival, conservative sectors of society, the mainstream media -with few exceptions- as well as the Government severely attacked it.
Rock music enthusiasts, specialized press around the world and La Onda intellectuals such as Parménides García, father Enrique Marroquin and TV personality Jacobo Zabludovsky vehemently defended it.
Although Molina felt satisfied with the festival, its organization was not well received by the press and writers like his friend Jose Agustin.
Molina believed that the Avandaro audio tapes were lost for decades, although the filmmaker Alfredo Gurrola kept a copy of the audio tapes as he used them in his 1972 film.
The audio tapes were given to Gurrola by Cablevision executive Luis Gutierrez y Prieto after Polydor Records dropped the Soundtrack project in 1972 due to the Government backlash against the festival.
In 2014 Molina sold all his assets in Mexico City to settle again in Hermosillo, to be close to his family, resuming his radio and columnist activities.
After many years of successfully battling cancer, on November 22, 2019 at 4am he passed away of respiratory arrest due to complications of a thrombosis in one of his legs.
Right after his death, the president of the Mexican Senate Marti Batres gave his sympathies to Molina's family members via Twitter and made the announcement about the official recognition that the Senate would give to the Avandaro Festival and Molina.
On November 25, 2019 the Mexican Senate honored the memory of Molina and issued an official recognition to different bands and musicians who took part on the festival, effectively putting an end to 48 years of Government censorship to Avandaro.
In the first half of the 20th century Harold Meyer Phillips was one of the leading organizers of American chess life.

Adele Kern real name Adele Kern-Klein (25 November 1901 – 6 May 1980) was a German operatic and operetta coloratura soprano.
From 1927 to 1935 she sang at the Salzburg Festival as well as at the state operas of Vienna, Berlin and Munich.
The pupil followed the path and roles of her teacher - both at the opera houses of Munich and Vienna and as Ännchen and Zerbinetta.
She was the first coloratura soprano to move to the Städtische Opernhaus in Frankfurt, where she had a contract until 1928.
The two created a new, production-oriented musical theatre in Frankfurt and took care of the musical and dramatic development of the young singer.
Kern was to be regarded as a Clemens Krauss singer for many years (and she later worked at the state operas of Vienna, Berlin and Munich during his time as director).
This performance was conducted by Clemens Krauss, who had taken over the direction of the Staatsoper in 1929, and staged by Lothar Wallerstein, who had accompanied Krauss from Frankfurt to Vienna.
However, Wallerstein had to emigrate in 1938 due to Nazi racial laws and finally continued his career at the New York Metropolitan Opera.
In 1929 she returned to Salzburg - as Zerlina and Sophie - and was then engaged by the Salzburg Festival until 1935.
She gave guest performances at the Milan Scala and at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, in Paris, Venice and Rio de Janeiro.
Like Julius Patzak and Viorica Ursuleac, Kern followed the conductor and director Clemens Krauss first to the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in Berlin in 1935 and then to the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich in 1937.
There, in her hometown, the artist achieved extraordinary popularity due to her razor-sharp coloratura, the silvery tone of her voice and the unusual brilliance of her performance.

A few private individuals in Amsterdam founded the Vereniging before the auction was completed and managed to help keep a large number of major drawings from the collection in the Netherlands.
Its initial aims were to fund the conservation of Dutch artworks already in the Netherlands and buying back ones from abroad, though it is no longer limited to works by Rembrandt, and other 17th century Dutch Golden Age painters.
Its current aims include helping to acquire works for public collections in the Netherlands and/or supporting acquisitions by Dutch galleries and museums.
Initially the Vereniging only loaned the funds, to be repaid later by the state or by the museum or gallery itself, but later donations were given to purchase works both in the Netherlands and overseas, both Dutch and non-Dutch works.
It began with 250 members, rising to 300 by 1907, 900 by 1983, over 12,650 by the end of 2015 and around 15,700 members by the end of 2018.
Its other income streams include donations, bequests, returns on its investments and since 1960 an annual contribution from the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds.

First, by generating haploid individuals, either by in vitro culture of immature pollen, in tobacco and asparagus, or by selecting fertilization anomalies that eliminate one of the parental genomes.
This work has led to the clarification of sex determinism in asparagus, a dioecious species, and has provided the method for obtaining fully male F1 hybrid varieties, which have since been widely developed.
He developed a genetics of cytoplasmic organelles in higher plants by protoplast fusion, revealing the existence of almost systematic recombinations between mitochondrial genomes and the exchange of chloroplasts between the parents of these fusions.
The discovery of the gene responsible for male sterility, its transfer to Brassica by fusion of protoplasts, and the selection of mitochondrial recombinants with improved agronomic characteristics have enabled this male sterility to be widely distributed and exploited in Europe and North America for the production of hybrid varieties in rapeseed and various cabbage.
On a global scale, the method has been widely used as one of the major tools for functional analysis of the genome of A. thaliana, a plant model of plant genomics.

William Morris (1834-1898), a founder of the British Arts and Crafts movement, sought to restore the prestige and methods of hand-made crafts, including textiles, in opposition to the 19th century tendency toward factory-produced textiles.
With this goal in mind, he created his own workshop and designed dozens of patterns for hand-produced woven and printed cloth, upholstery, and other textiles.
and were for embroideries, expressing his interest in medieval arts and crafts, particularly the medieeval wall hangings that he admired as a child.
His first embroidery designs were primitive, but later, working with his wife Jane, he created a set of wall hangings for his residence in the London suburbs, Red House.
One of his designs in this historical style, stitched by Jane Morris, won the Morris company an award in an international competition in 1862.
Morris and his workshop began making embroideries for the households of his friends as well as larger panels for some of the many new churches being constructed in England.
In these designs, Morris created the decorative elements, while his friend Edward Burne-Jones drew the figures, and a team of embroiderers manufactured the work by hand.
Other wall hangings were designed to be sold off the shelf of the new Morris and Company shop on Oxford Street which owned in 1877.
IN 1877, he brought a skilled French silk weaver, Jacques Bazin, from Lyon to London, rented a studio at Great Esmond Yard, and established Bazin and his mechanical Jacquard loom there to make woven wooden fabrics.
The workshops were next to the Wardle River, providing a source of abundant clean water, and also had a grassy meadow where dyed clothes could be dried in the open air.
Morris made his first experiments with printed textiles for his company Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Co. beginning in 1868, at about the same time he was starting to make printed wallpaper (see William Morris wallpaper designs).
These first textiles were recreations of earlier designs he had made from the 1830s, and were printed for Morris by the workshop of Thomas Clarkson of Bannister Hall, in Lancaster.
He blamed the problem on the artificial dyes, and began doing research into the natural dyes which had been used in the 16th century.
Morris moved with his family to Turham Green in 1872, which created greater space in his house at Queen Square in London where Morris had his workshop.
Morris and his assistant John Smith made a series of experiments with indigo and other natural dyes, but were unable to attain colours that satisfied Morris.
In 1875, Morris tried working with a commercia printer, Wardle and Company, using wood blocks with a reduced number of colours and modern chemical dyes, This time he was dissatisfied with the lack of quality control by the workers, and the uneven results.
For printed textiles, the design was traced onto a block of pear wood, and then the wood was sculpted so only the desired surface would touch the fabric.
One block was used for each colour of the final fabric, The block was inked by placing into a vat of colorant, and then carefully placed onto the fabric on the table in front of the craftsman.
He pounded it with a mallet to impress the colour, then he lifted the block carefully, moved the fabric, re-inked the block, and printed the next section with the same colour.
If more than one colour was used, once the fabric was dry, a block with the next colour would be inked and carefully impressed over the image left by the first.
Since fifteen or more colours might be used, It was an extremely laborious and long process, sometimes lasting several weeks, and the cost was higher than that of mechanical printing methods.
Morris wrote that making tapestries was 'the noblest of all the weaving arts', and most suitable for his interest in reviving medieval arts and crafts.
He set up his first tapestry loom in 1877, and made completed his first tapestry, was 'Acanthus and Vine' in (1879).
He wove the tapestry himself, often getting up at dawn to work on a loom in his bedroom at Kelmscott House.
Once he had mastered the technique, he created a full-time tapestry workshop at the Morris and Company house on Queen Square.
For most of his tapestries, Morris worked with other artists, particularly Edward Burne-Jones, who designed the figures, Philip Webb, who designed birds and animals, and with his primary assistant and successor as chief designer, John Henry Dearle.
A photographic image was made of he design with figures, to which Morris or Dearle added a floral background, and a border equally filled with designs of trees and flowers.
The full scale image was transferred onto cloth by rubbing with a piece of ivory, and then woven on a loom.
Large-scale tapestries were made in this way at Merton, mostly by the employment of boys ages thirteen and fourteen, who received shelter, board and a daily wage.
The most famous tapestries made by Burns-Jones and Morris were Holy Grail tapestries made for William Knox D'Arcy in 1890 for his dining room at Stanmore Hall Additional versions of the tapestries with minor variations were woven on commission by Morris & Co. over the next decade.
In March, 1875, Morris became the sole owner of what became William Morris Company, buying out the shares of his partners.
He decided to diverify the products by adding carpets, a market that was almost totally dominated by original or imitation oriental carpets.
Within three months, he had registered his first design for the Cataline floor cloth, a decorative covering for linoleum floors, a material which had been invented in 1855.
His aim, he declared, was to make England independent of the Orient for the provision of hand-make carpets which aspire to the status of art.
He hired a labor force of young women to work on looms he set up in the former stables and garage of his London residence.
In the 1880s, in addition to the Hammersmith carpets, Morris created series of designs for machine-made Axminster and Kidderminister carpets, made at he Wilton factory or at Heckmondwike Manufacturing company in Yorkshire.
Many of the carpets he designed used the patterns he had invented for printed fabrics, but others, particularly the Hammersmith carpets, resembled the designs he made for his woven textiles.
The designs he made for Axminister and Wilton carpets were less lavish in their ornament and more geometrical, to make them more affordable.
In 1881 he moved the workshop to Merton Abbey, where there was space to weave much larger carpets commissioned by his clients.
His designs for these large Hammersmith carpets moved farther away from the Oriental influence, and took on a more specifically English style.
One particularly notable design was the Bullerswood carpet, was made in 1889 for the wool trader John Sanderson, who had a country residence called Bullerswood in Chislehurst, Kent.
Morris explained his ideas about textile designs in a group of essays by members of the Arts and Crafts movement published in 1893.
Depth of tone, richness of colour, and exquisite gradation of tints are easily to be obtained in Tapestry; and it also demands that crispness and abundance of beautiful detail which was the especial characteristic of fully developed Medieval Art.
William Morris died on October 3,1896, but the Morris & Co. continued to design and produce textiles he had designed or planned, under the supervision of his chief assistant and Art Director John Henry Dearle.
The firm was finally dissolved in 1940, but his designs continue to be produced and marketed by other textile firms, including Sanderson and Sons, part of the Walker Greenbank wallpaper and fabrics business, which now owns the.

After a science thesis obtained in 1976 in the field of genetic translation, he turned towards neurobiology by working with Jacques Glowinski and became a research fellow (1978-1981) and then research director (1982-2007) at the CNRS.
He has also been a member of the French Academy of sciences since 18 November 2003 and Chairman of the Research Committee of the Foundation for Medical Research (FRM).
Alain Prochiantz is also the author of numerous scientific articles and books on the brain; he participates in scientific theatre productions with his friend Jean-François Peyret.
Together, they are collaborating on the writing of the play Ex vivo / In vitro, premiered at the Théâtre de la Colline in November 2011.
Alain Prochiantz has been working since the early 1980s in the field of molecular neurobiology, particularly on the processes of morphogenesis and nerve cell differentiation.
He did his first major work at the Collège de France with Jacques Glowinski on the development and in vitro maturation of dopaminergic neurons in the mesencephalon.
His laboratory having moved to the École normale supérieure, he then became interested in the molecular signals responsible for certain neuronal morphogenesis processes and, in 1991, highlighted in particular the role of homeoboxes of certain transcription factors (but also of different extracellular matrix proteins such as tenascin, glycoaminoglycans...) in these phenomena.
As was then fully accepted in the scientific community, he proposes that cascades of regulation of homeotic genes (of the Hox family) are potentially involved in many stages of neuronal differentiation, neurite growth, neuronal polarity...
However, going against a certain number of knowledge, or even dogmas in the field of molecular biology, he reports that domains of transcription factors, or even whole proteins such as Hox5, can be internalized in a cell and therefore suggests the possible secretion of a given transcription factor by a nerve cell A that can be internalized by a neighbouring cell B and have a biological effect on it.
To clearly demonstrate this, he and his team are interested in the homeoprotein Engrailed of the Hox gene family involved in the morphogenesis of brain structures and demonstrate that it also has an intracellular location in secretion vesicles.
The first key publication supporting this theory was in 1998 with the in vitro demonstration that a large proportion of the nuclear transcription factor Engrailed is effectively secreted in the extracellular medium by Cos cells and recaptured by cocultured neurons acting as a potential intercellular peptide messenger.
These articles were published in good biology journals but not in the forefront because the data were relatively contested by the scientific community.
His team then demonstrated the involvement of Engrailed-1/2 proteins in the development and survival of dopaminergic neurons by using heterozygous mouse models (En1+/-) for them and by proposing a mechanism of action on the transcriptional activation of the Ndufs1 and Ndufs3 subunits of complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.
Alain Prochiantz continues his work in evolutionary developmental genetics and directs his research towards the physiological aspects of his fundamental molecular discoveries, particularly for the understanding of neuronal plasticity and axonal guidance processes.

Kupe was aired on BBC Radio 1Xtra, on The Smoothie Shy Show in November 2018 and was nominated for Viewer's Choice at the 3rd edition of TheMVPs Award.
The dance challenge was created by the Ghanaian dance instructor Zigi and it was made public via Instagram after some group of French guys; Teddy Ovo, Habitu Etoi, Jim Seuh and Yoyo went viral with the challenge and are well known as Kupe Boys.
According to BBC, the madness #KupeChallenge has seized netizens of the continent from Dakar to Johannesburg, via Douala to Lagos, the challenge makes the African dance.
In October 2018, it was reported that the Ghanaian actress Juliet Ibrahim and her sisters also joined the ongoing Kupe Dance challenge.
After the song went viral in September 2018, the video gained over 600,000 views on YouTube, between September and October 2018.
Currently the YouTube views has grown to 15 million, after Beyoncé joined the kupe dance challenge on stage at 2018 Global Citizen Festival in South Africa.
He was with Aluminium Manufacturing Company of Nigeria (ALUMCO) PLC as Purchasing Manager and in early 2000 he moved his services to Crown Agents Ltd as Commercial Manager.
Faleke joined active politics in 2003 after Ahmed Bola Tinibu, then governor of Lagos state appointment him first Executive Secretary of newly created Ojodu Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of Lagos state.
In 2011, Faleke won a vote to represent Ikeja Federal Constituency of Lagos state in the Nigeria’s Federal House of Representatives.
In 2015 he ran on a joint ticket as deputy governorship candidate to Abubakar Audu in his home state of Kogi.
They won majority votes cast in the keenly contested election displacing People’s Democratic Party, PDP for the first time in more than a decade with comfortable winning margin.
Their party, the All Progressives Congress, APC then transferred the votes to Yahaya Bello who was first runner up in the party’s primary election.
In 1986, he finished from Kaduna Polytechnic with a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Purchasing and Supply Management with an award of the best student of his class with Upper Credit.
He holds Masters Degree (MBA) in Business Administration with management as the major focus from Imo State university, Owerri in 2003.
He was Material Manager at Kayo Foods Limited, Ilupeju, Lagos before moving to Tate Industries PLC as Purchasing, Clearing, Distribution and Commercial Manager.
Faleke also served as Purchasing manager at Air Liquid PLC, and Aluminium Manufacturing Company of Nigeria (ALUMCO) PLC ending his logistics and management career with Crown Agents Ltd as Commercial Manager in 2003.
Faleke political career started in 2003 with his appointment as pioneer Executive Secretary of Ojudu Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of Lagos State.
He was in this position in interim capacity between November 2003 and April 2004 when he was elected substantive chairman of the local government.
In 2006 he won a vote to become Chairman of Conference 57, the body of Local Government Chairmen in Lagos State until 2011 when his tenure as Ojodu LCDA Chairman ended.
Faleke during this period held assignments on the Lagos State Electoral Reform Committee and the Governor’s Advisory Committee of Lagos State.
He was chairman of the House Committee on Anti-Corruption, National Ethics and Values, and member of house committees on Public Procurement, MDGs, Interior, Public Accounts, Science and Technology, and the House Committee on the Petroleum Subsidy Probe.
He also proposed a number of bills, including the NYSC Act Amendment Bill, which proposed life insurance coverage for NYSC members, a bill prohibiting the sale and use of military uniforms due to the attendant security risks and, still focusing on the nation’s security challenges, he sponsored another motion on the need to shut over 1,400 illegal border routes to curb insurgency.
Audu and Faleke campaigned for votes across the 21 local government areas of the state with populist agenda and promise to improve living standard of the people.
According to  results declared by the Returning Officer, Emmanuel Kucha (Vice-Chancellor of the University of Agriculture, Makurdi), Abubakar Audu/James Abiodum Faleke of the All Progressives Congress scored 240,867 while Idris Wada who was the incumbent governor running for a second term on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP garnered 199,514 votes.
And that the election was inconclusive because the total number of registered voters in 91 polling units, in 18 local government areas, where election was cancelled is 49,953.
After the death of Audu and the declaration of the election inclusive, APC nominated Yahaya Bello who was the first runner up in the APC primary  to inherit the votes received by Audu/Faleke in the general elections asking Faleke to continue in his deputy governor position.
But faleke rejected the move by the APC arguing that collation of results of the election had been concluded and was awaiting official declaration of winner before the sudden death of Audu and that as the only surviving candidate on the joint ticket he should be declared governor elect.
According to the supplementary election results declared by Mr. Kucha, Vice Chancellor, University of Agriculture, Makurdi, the APC garnered 6,885 votes, bringing the total votes it received to 247,752, having polled 240,857 in the November 21 election.
The second runner up, the People’s Democratic Party and its candidate, Idris Wada, who was the incumbent governor, scored 5,363 in the supplementary election.
Faleke went to election petition tribunal challenging the legality of the decision of the APC to make him a deputy to Yahaya Bello who  was not on the ballot on 21 November when major votes in the election were cast.
I, James Abiodun Faleke, will not be there for the swearing-in if we don’t finish the case before the Jan. 27, 2016”.
I am not ready to betray and disappoint Prince Abubakar Audu.” In keeping to this vow, Faleke did not present himself for inauguration as deputy to Yahaya Bello.

Rudolf Friedrichs (9 March 1892 - 13 June 1947) was a German politician who served as the Minister-President of Saxony in the German Democratic Republic from 1945 to his death.
He then began studying law and economics at Leipzig University until 1919, when his studies were interrupted by World War I.
He joined the SPD in 1922 and worked from 1923 as a government assessor and from 1926 as a government councillor in the Saxon Interior Ministry.
There was tension between Friedrichs and the Communist Politician Kurt Fischer, which escalated in 1947 in the form of an open confrontation.
A study conducted in 1999 by the government of Saxony couldn't confirm nor deny the involvement of Fischer in his death.

Standish Hartstonge (1656–31 May 1704) was an Anglo-Irish lawyer and politician from Kilkenny city, who was MP for Kilkenny City in the Irish House of Commons from 1695 until his death.
He was born in Norfolk, a younger son of the eminent judge Sir Standish Hartstonge, 1st Baronet and his first wife Elizabeth Jermyn.
Through the bishop's influence, Standish was made Recorder of Kilkenny from 1694, and also served as Custos Rotulorum of County Tipperary under his father's patron the Duke of Ormond.
Although his 1704 will and testament states that he was then living in Dublin and requested burial there in St. Audoen's Church, he was in fact interred by his brother in St Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny.
He bequeathed his land at Talbot's Inch to his brother John, disinheriting their nephew Sir Standish Hartstonge, 2nd Baronet, whose impulsive teenage marriage to Anne Presteigne had caused a bitter family feud.

The Charlotte whale is the skeleton of a beluga whale that was found buried in sediment near Charlotte, Vermont in 1849.
Found at the time when knowledge of Earth's natural history was nascent, it proved key evidence for developing a glacial theory of New England.
Some time after, Vermont state geologist Albert David Hager bought the skeleton from Thompson's widow, to reconstruct and present it in Vermont's state natural history collection in 1861.
In 1849, the discovery provoked a controversy, because initially, scientists were unable to account for how a skeleton of a marine mammal ended up buried in sediment 150 or 200 miles () from the nearest ocean shore.
Swiss geologist and biologist Louis Agassiz, who had produced the theory of glaciation and ice ages a decade earlier, based on his investigation of Alpine glaciers, was in Boston at the time and theorized that the same process happened in New England.
According to Howe, the Charlotte whale and the Mount Holly mammoth that had been found the previous year on the same railroad dig, were crucial evidence and motivation to research glaciation in New England.
The whale skeleton was found in the sediments of the Champlain Sea, a prehistoric sea that existed from approximately 12,500 to 10,000 years earlier in the modern-day Champlain Valley that had been formed by the melting glaciers at the close of the last glacial period.
At that time, the area in which the sea was located had been depressed below the sea level by the enormous weight of the Laurentide Ice Sheet.
Based on the sediment in which it was found, its age has been estimated at 11,000 or 11,500 years, but due to the way the skeleton was first preserved in 1849, it is impossible to use radiocarbon dating to determine the age of the skeleton.
In 2014, the Mount Holly mammoth was designated as the new state fossil, while the designation of the Charlotte whale was changed to being the state marine fossil.

Hans Raj (born ) was an Indian youth, in Amritsar, British India, who in June 1919 became an approver for the British government when he gave evidence for the Crown at the Amritsar Conspiracy Case Trial in which he identified his fellow Indian revolutionaries, buying his own freedom in return.
In early 1919, Hans Raj became active in the non-violent disobedience or Satyagraha movement and began to participate in protests against British rule in India.
He was appointed the joint secretary of the Satyagraha organisation in Amritsar and worked to help local Indian leaders Saifuddin Kitchlew and Satyapal, whose arrests and deportation on 10 April 1919 triggered riots.
Having survived that day, he was soon arrested but became an approver for the British, providing evidence which led to the sentencing of Kitchlew and Satyapal to two years imprisonment.
Historians have debated whether he was an agent for the police all along or simply took the opportunity to save his own skin by testifying for the British.
His first job was with the North Western State Railway as a ticket inspector, after which he unsuccessfully tried to join the police force and the Indian Defence Force.
He subsequently took a job as a correspondence clerk for a Municipal Commissioner at Amritsar, became a banker and then a medical and stationary agent, but was frequently found to be unable to hold down employment due to his dishonesty.
In 1917, Hans Raj joined the Home Rule League and was relatively quiet and unknown until early 1919, at the age of 23, when he began to participate in the protests against the Rowlatt Acts, British repressive legislation set to continue specific wartime powers for use against conspiracies and terrorist activities by revolutionaries.
He became the joint secretary of the non-violent disobedience or Satygraha organisation, frequently attended their events and was aware of who had signed its pledge.
On 10 April 1919, the Indian political leaders Saifuddin Kitchlew and Satyapal were summoned to deputy commissioner Miles Irving's home on the orders of Michael O’Dwyer, the Lieutenant Governor of Punjab.
Satypal and Kitchlew were secretly arrested under the Defence of India Act 1915 and deported to Dharamasala, at the foot of the Himalayas, where they were kept under house arrest.
The incident triggered a petition for their release and subsequent local riots, where a number of both Europeans, including the school teacher Marcella Sherwood, and Indians were injured and killed, and official buildings defaced.
On the evening of 12 April 1919, as a result of the deportations of Kitchlew and Satypal, in addition to the protests over the Rowlatt Acts and the exclusion of Mahatma Gandhi from entering Punjab, Hans Raj arranged a meeting to be held the next day on 13 April at Jallianwala Bagh grounds.
Subsequently, 1 650 rounds of ammunition were fired over ten minutes, in what came to be known as the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
Having survived the massacre, the following day Hans Raj, now in hiding, warned Mahammed that they were both under the threat of arrest should they be found.
Mahammed later recalled that a week later, while he had been arrested and tortured, Hans Raj was being treated favourably at the police station.
Subsequently, trials of Amritsar conspiracy cases began on 9 June 1919 with the aim of proving that the Amritsar troubles were a pre-meditated plan by local Satyagraha leaders, later found to be untrue.
Hans Raj's final statement had included an amended version of the account of the summoning of Satyapal and Kitchlew to Irving's house on 10 April, claiming that the two had told him to seek revenge should the summoning lead to an arrest.
A system long established in British India, an approver such as Hans Raj was a suspect who provided a testimony which identified their associates in return for his own freedom.
Various extents of Hans Raj's involvement with police were also noted by Charles Freer Andrews, M. R. Jayakar, Madan Mohan Malaviya, and historian V. N. Datta who wrote that Hans Raj assisted General Dyer in planning the massacre and expected the shootings on 13 April, going as far as to build a wooden platform designed to provide himself with a hiding place during the shooting.

Sir Henry Ernest Marking (11 March 1920 - 16 May 2002) CVO CBE was a British businessman and a former chairman and chief executive of British European Airways (BEA), which became British Airways.
He was an army officer in the Second World War, being awarded the Military Cross (MC) in 1944 for conduct in the Battle of Anzio in February 1944.
In September 1944 he studied for a year at the Middle East Centre for Arab Studies (MECAS), where he learnt Arabic.
He became involved with the Institute of Transport (now the CILT) as a consultant on aviation law and the Royal Aeronautical Society, where he planned its first air transport course in 1956.
Under his leadership, British Airtours began in 1969 as BEA Airtours, taking its first commercial flight on 6 March 1970 from Gatwick Airport.
Later in 1971 he was involved with the new Airbus A300, as a possible replacement for BEA's main Hawker Siddeley Trident fleet.
On 2 May 1969, the Edwards Committee (led by Sir Ronald Edwards) had been published, which recommended that BEA merged with BOAC, which the government made a decision to proceed with in May 1972; the British Airways Group was formed on 1 September 1972, becoming the fully-fledged British Airways in April 1974.
He left British Airways at the end of August 1977, at the age of 57, having spent 28 years in the airline industry.

The Jonathon Keyes Sr. House, also known incorrectly in town histories as the Solomon Keyes House, is a historic house at 16 Frances Hill Road in Westford, Massachusetts.
The Jonathon Keyes Sr. House is located in a residential setting in eastern Westford, on the east side of Frances Hill Road just north of Hunt Road.
The building's interior follows a typical central-chimney plan, with the entry vestibule that has a narrow winding stair in front of the chimney.
Most of the building's styling is Federal, but construction features such as gunstock posts indicate an earlier (17th or early 18th century) construction date.
For many years, local historians believed this house to be the work of Solomon Keyes (d. 1702), one of Westford's early settlers.
However, its accessible construction elements show no evidence of First Period construction, suggesting it was built by one of his descendants.
It was originally built as a saltbox colonial, but its rear leanto section was raised to a full two stories, most likely in the late 18th century.
Bill 59 is similar to the Accessibility for Manitobans Act (AMA), and further supports the rights of People with Disabilities (PwD) under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The goals of the Act is to prevent and remove barriers for the delivery and receipt of goods and services, information and communication, public transportation and transportation infrastructure, employment, the built environment, education, and a prescribed activity or undertaking.
This Act commits the government of Nova Scotia to develop accessibility standards for goods and services, information and communication, transportation, employment, the built environment and education.
The Wizdish ROVR is a omnidirectional treadmill that simulates walking and running in virtual reality when used alongside a head-mounted display.
This is due to the ROVR providing omnidirectional movement in virtual reality in a manner akin to walking in the real world.
The difference can be described as navigating a website with a mouse instead of cycling through links sequentially using the tab key.
The user slides their feet back and forward on the platform, in a reciprocating motion, to simulate locomotion whilst wearing shoe covers that are designed to reduce friction.
The soles of the shoe covers are coated in ceramic discs that reduce friction between the user's feet and the ROVR.
A contact microphone in the ROVR's platform translates the sound of the user's feet moving into forward movement within virtual reality.
A low level of noise, made by slow or small movements on the platform, becomes slow movement in virtual reality, whilst louder noises increase the speed of movement.
The user moves in whichever direction the head is facing, as the acoustic sensor system can not detect the movement direction of the feet or the orientation of the body.
The concave platform combined with reciprocating movement of the feet minimises vertical movement of a person’s centre of mass and so mimics the best low energy movement of real walking.
It also encourages the user's feet to slip back into the centre of the ROVR, stopping the user from moving off the platform.
This is for user support during orientation and to provide a boundary to stop the user from moving off the platform.
Users quickly become used to the platform's surface, and are able to balance without the help of the bar, their hands being free to use independent controllers such as Oculus Touch, Vive wands, Knuckles and the Xbox One Controller.
By enabling naturally intuitive full physicality of movement in virtual reality the ROVR seeks to solve the problem of virtual reality sickness.
Virtual reality sickness is a type of motion sickness that occurs when movement is seen but not felt when immersed in virtual reality thereby disrupting visual-vestibular matching and proprioception of the body.
The ROVR aims to satisfy the body's need to feel the movement it is experiencing visually by having the user perform a variation of walking in place.
Studies indicate that walking in place increases the sense of presence when using virtual reality as the proprioceptive information in the body resembles the visual stimulus being provided by the head-mounted display.
People do not carry memories of how they move their legs when they walk because locomotion is largely autonomous, being controlled by a Central pattern generator.
The ROVR, therefore, doesn't rely on the exact recreation of how the legs move during ambulation, rather, it aims to provide enough activity in the legs that approximates the sensation of ambulation to 'trick' the users mind into thinking they are walking normally.
Williams, a engineer for the BBC, had been experimenting with the idea of a 'VR treadmill' since 2001 and had applied for a US patent in 2003 which was granted in 2008.
King had links with several UK universities including University College London, Kings College London, and Oxford Brookes University, the latter through a partnership that began when he was a consultant for Siemens.
King and Williams built a prototype version of the ROVR and began selling it in 2012 on the Wizdish website under the name ROVR1.
The ROVR1's containment frame consists of a waist high polymer ring supported by five polymer legs that adjoin a larger ring at the base of the ROVR1.
Between its release in 2012 and 2016 the ROVR1, weighing in at 15kgs, had been actively tested by over 30,000 people.
The containment frame consists of a waist high, stainless steel metal ring supported by two legs that connect to the ROVR2's base.
The gamer's feeling of 'being there' is increased by this freedom of movement as they are able to identify more closely with their in-game avatar.
The act of sliding the feet to navigate virtual spaces provides a novel gaming experience in a similar vein to arcade dance pads.
The ROVR requires the user to be on their feet and mobile and therefore can be used as fitness equipment in a manner similar to regular treadmill and the Wii Balance Board.
The user assumed the role of an 'iron man' figure running through a virtual city, keeping pace with a Juke driving alongside.
In 2015 Wells Fargo started on a 3 year campaign using ROVRs at public events in the USA to promote the Wells Fargo brand.
Mosaic, an event marketing think tank, found that after attending a Wells Fargo event 74% of the participants said they have a more positive opinion about the company, brand, product, or service being promoted.
The study also found 96% of consumers who tell a friend or family member about their experience mention the company or brand running the event.
Wizdish is developing a bluetooth version of the ROVR which aims to provide a wireless virtual reality experience when used in tandem with a wireless head-mounted display.
His death sentence was carried out using the guillotine that had been installed at the , soon after the incorporation of Austria into an expanding German state.
He attended the on the north side of the city, but left early in order to progress to the , a prestigious vocational college which had been estabished during the early years of the twentieth century to train students for graduate-level careers in the important chemicals indistry.
In March 1938 the country was invaded and became part of Nazi Germany, which had been a one-party dictatorship since 1933.
Bizarrely, Nazi Germany was now unexpectedly on the same side as the Soviet Union which invaded Poland from the east sixteen days after the German invasion from the west (which according to mainstream anglophone historiography triggered the war).
For many of those, such as Kämpf, who retained an active commitment to the illegal Communist Party, it was hardly possible to oppose unhesitatingly the alliances entered into by Stalin and the comrades in Moscow.
Kämpf's attitude to the Stalin-Hitler alliance is unclear, but any unease would have been resolved when the Germans changed sides and, in June 1941, invaded the Soviet Union.
A month later, in July 1941, Walter Kämpf switched to work as a paramedic, assigned to a military hospital for Luftwaffe casualities.
It is evident that conscription in 1939 did not mark an end to Walter Kämpf's secret double-life as a resistance activist.
One of the girls had become the girl friend of Glaser or Gläser, and between them they betrayed many members of the resistance group to the authorities, along with various friends and contacts.
In the main trial he had taken the opportunity to declare that he had seen it as his duty to help put an end to the war against the Soviet Union as soon as possible.
He relocated to Chicago, Illinois, in the late 1940s, and commenced performing in the blues clubs across that city from the early 1950s.
McMahon first started playing in Howlin' Wolf's backing band in 1960, and his recording career with Wolf ran between 1964 and 1973.

Glenda Jackson, who left acting in 1992 to begin a 23-year career as a Labour Party MP, returned to the stage in 2015.
Jackson grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and attended North Canyon High School, where he played defensive and offensive line on the school's football team and also was a member of the basketball and track and field teams.
Jackson was rated a five-star recruit and the best collegiate prospect in Arizona as a senior and committed to play college football at the University of Southern California over offers from Washington and Arizona State.
Jackson played in all 14 of the Trojans games as a true freshman, appearing as a reserve offensive lineman and playing special teams on the field goal unit.
Jackson missed part of the summer practices going into his junior season due having surgery to donate bone marrow to his sister, who suffers from Diamond–Blackfan anemia.
He returned to practice in early August and worked his way back to playing shape in time to begin the season as the Trojans starting left tackle.
Jackson was named the Pac-12 Conference Offensive Lineman of the Week for Week 2 after his performance in a 45-20 win over #23 Stanford on September 7, 2019.
These juntas aimed to defend against the French invasion and fill the power vacuum, refusing to recognize José I Bonaparte as their legitimate king.
In September 1808 the local and provincial juntas ceded their power to the Supreme Central Government Junta of the Kingdom, which led the war against the French and was recnigzed as the legitimate government of Spain by the United Kingdom and other anti-napoleonic countries.
The Supreme Junta summoned an extraordinary meeting of the Cortes, a revolutionary act, since the right to call for a meeting of the Cortes was exclusive to the crown.
After an intense debate in the Supreme Junta it was decided that the Cortes would be unicameral, elected by census suffrage (only those with a certain level of income could vote) and indirect.

Originally the battalion, like all Italian tank units, was part of the infantry, but since 1 June 1999 it is part of the cavalry.
The 11th Calzecchi was granted a new war flag on 12 November 1976 by decree 846 of the President of the Italian Republic Giovanni Leone.
The battalion joined 133rd Tank Infantry Regiment and was sent to Italian Libya on 14 January 1942 to fight in the Western Desert Campaign.
The battalion entered the front during the Battle of Bir Hakeim and continued to serve in the North African theater until it was annihilated on 2 November 1942 during the Second Battle of El Alamein.
Tank and armored battalions created during the 1975 army reform were all named for officers, soldiers and partisans, who were posthumously awarded Italy's highest military honor the Gold Medal of Military Valour for heroism during World War II.
In 2001 the 33rd tank regiment was disbanded and the flags of the 33rd regiment and 11th battalion were transferred to the Shrine of the Flags in the Vittoriano in Rome.

Hutchison and Vogel (1933, 1994) state that the Dadwal clan takes its name from a place called Dada which was within Siba State.
The clan came into existence after Hari Chand seceded from the kingdom of Kangra and established his own kingdom in Guler (1415).
His descendant, Sibarn Chand then seceded from Guler and established the kingdom of Siba and in turn one of his descendants, Khammi Chand, had three sons one of whom was Lakhuda Chand who lived at Dada and adopted the clan name Dadwal.
Barstow (1928) reported that in the 1911 census of the Punjab, 515 people were returned as Dadwal Jat in Amritsar district.
In modern times, the Oxford Dictionary of Family Names in Britain and Ireland (2016) also lists Dhadwal as a Jat clan.

At the beginning of the decade the UK was governed by the Labour Party, which had been in power since its victory in the 1997 UK general election.
On 6 April 2010, Brown visited Buckingham Palace to seek the Queen's permission to dissolve Parliament on 12 April, initiating a general election on 6 May.
In these debates the prime minister was widely considered to have been outperformed by his opponents David Cameron of the Conservative Party and Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrats.
At the election, Labour lost 91 seats in the House of Commons, but the Conservatives failed to achieve an overall majority, resulting in the first hung parliament since 1974.
Brown remained temporarily as Prime Minister, while the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives entered into talks aimed at forming a coalition government.
On 10 May, Brown announced his intention to resign as leader of the Labour Party and instructed the party to initiate the election of a new leader.
In a telephone conversation with his predecessor Tony Blair, Blair suggested to Brown that the election had shown that British voters had lost faith in both him and the Labour Party and that the United Kingdom would not accept him continuing as Prime Minister.
Brown was succeeded as Prime Minister by David Cameron, whose party had formed a coalition with the Liberal Democrats, while Harriet Harman became acting leader of the Labour Party.
The premiership of David Cameron began on 11 May 2010 when Cameron accepted the Queen's invitation to form a government, after the resignation of Cameron's predecessor as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Gordon Brown.
While serving as Prime Minister, Cameron also served as First Lord of the Treasury, Minister for the Civil Service and Leader of the Conservative Party.
Between them, the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats controlled 363 seats in the House of Commons, with a majority of 76 seats.
The 2015 United Kingdom general election was held on Thursday, 7 May 2015 to elect 650 members to the House of Commons.
After the 2015 general election, Cameron was re-elected as Prime Minister, but this time at the head of a Conservative majority government with a parliamentary majority of 12 seats.
Forming the first Conservative majority government since 1992, David Cameron became the first Prime Minister since 1900 to continue in office immediately after a term of at least four years with a larger popular vote share, and the only Prime Minister other than Margaret Thatcher to continue in office immediately after a term of at least four years with a greater number of seats.
The Labour Party, led by Ed Miliband, saw a small increase in its share of the vote to 30.4%, but incurred a net loss of seats to return 232 MPs.
The Scottish National Party, enjoying a surge in support since the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, recorded a number of huge swings of over 30% (including a record-breaking swing of 39.3% achieved in Glasgow North East) from Labour, as it won 56 of the 59 Scottish seats to become the third-largest party in the Commons.
The Liberal Democrats, led by outgoing Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, had their worst result since their formation in 1988, holding just eight out of their previous 57 seats, with Cabinet ministers Vince Cable, Ed Davey and Danny Alexander losing their seats.
UKIP came third in terms of votes with 12.6%, but only won one seat, with party leader Nigel Farage failing to win the seat of South Thanet.
The Green Party won its highest-ever share of the vote with 3.8%, and retained the Brighton Pavilion seat with an increased majority, though did not win any additional seats.
Immediately after the vote by the British electorate to leave the European Union on 23 June 2016, Cameron announced in a televised speech outside 10 Downing Street that he intended to step down as Prime Minister following the Conservative Party conference in the autumn of that year.
Cameron, who had campaigned in favour of the UK remaining in a reformed EU, said that he had informed the Queen of his decision before going to the public.
He officially resigned as Prime Minister on 13 July 2016, following the unopposed victory of Theresa May in the Conservative Party leadership election on 11 July.
In a referendum held on 23 June 2016, the UK voted to withdraw from the European Union, with a result of 52% for withdrawal and 48% for remaining within the union.
David Cameron, who as Prime Minister had campaigned to remain within the European Union, announced on 24 June 2016, immediately following the announcement of the referendum results, that he would resign from his post.
Following the first stages of a Conservative Party leadership election, Home Secretary Theresa May's only remaining competitor, Andrea Leadsom, withdrew from the race on 11 July 2016.
Under the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011 an election had not been due until May 2020, but a call by Prime Minister Theresa May for a snap election was ratified by the necessary two-thirds vote in a 522–13 vote in the House of Commons on 19 April 2017.
In a surprising result, the Conservative Party made a net loss of 13 seats despite winning 42.4% of the vote (its highest share of the vote since 1983), whereas Labour made a net gain of 30 seats with 40.0% (its highest vote share since 2001 and the first time the party had gained seats since 1997).
This was the closest result between the two major parties since February 1974 and their highest combined vote share since 1970.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) and the Liberal Democrats, the third- and fourth-largest parties, both lost vote share; media coverage characterised the result as a return to two-party politics.
UKIP, the third-largest party in 2015 by number of votes, saw its share of the vote reduced from 12.6% to 1.8% and lost its only seat.
In Northern Ireland, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) won 10 seats, Sinn Féin won seven, and Independent Unionist Sylvia Hermon retained her seat.
The Conservatives were narrowly victorious and remained in power as a minority government, having secured a confidence and supply deal with the DUP.
However, under her leadership, the government was unable to reach an EU withdrawal agreement approved by the Conservative Party as a whole.
On 4 December 2018, the May government was found in contempt of Parliament; the first government to be found in contempt in history on a motion passed by MPs by 311 to 293 votes.
The vote was triggered by the government failing to lay before Parliament any legal advice on the proposed withdrawal agreement on the terms of the UK's departure from the European Union, after a humble address for a return was unanimously agreed to by the House of Commons on 13 November 2018.
The government then agreed to publish the full legal advice for Brexit that was given to the Prime Minister by the Attorney General during negotiations with the European Union.
Theresa May, after failing to pass her Brexit withdrawal agreement through parliament three times, announced her resignation as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on 24 May 2019 amidst calls for her to be ousted.
Boris Johnson had already confirmed at a business event in Manchester days earlier that he would run for Conservative Party leader if May were to resign.
Johnson won all five rounds of voting by MPs, and entered the final vote by Conservative Party members as the clear favourite to be elected PM.
On 23 July, he emerged victorious over his rival Jeremy Hunt with 92,153 votes, 66.4% of the total ballot, while Hunt received 46,656 votes.
On 28 August 2019, Boris Johnson announced that he had asked The Queen to prorogue parliament from a date between 9–12 September until the opening of a new session on 14 October.
Parliament was in any case due to have a three-week recess for the party conference season, and Johnson's prorogation would add around four days to the parliamentary break.
The 2017–19 parliamentary session was the longest since the English Civil War, while the prorogation in 2019 at Johnson's request would have been the longest prorogation since 1930.
Others questioned this justification, and said that the prorogation was an improper attempt to evade parliamentary scrutiny of Johnson's Brexit plans in advance of the UK's planned departure from the European Union on 31 October 2019; opponents of prorogation included opposition MPs, UK constitutional law scholars, and Sir John Major, the former Conservative Prime Minister.
On 24 September, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the prorogation was both justiciable and unlawful, and therefore null and of no effect.
Bercow said he would ensure that the attempted prorogation would be expunged from the House of Commons Journal, the corrected formal record of parliamentary business, and replaced with a statement that Parliament was adjourned for the period of the absence.
On 3 September 2019, Boris Johnson threatened to call a general election after opposition and rebel Conservative MPs successfully voted against the government to take control of the order of business with a view to preventing a no-deal exit.
Despite government opposition, the bill to block a no-deal exit passed the Commons on 4 September 2019, causing Johnson to call for a general election on 15 October.
However, this motion was unsuccessful as it failed to command the support of two-thirds of the House as required by the Fixed-term Parliaments Act (FTPA).
The proposal also declared that Northern Ireland, along with the rest of the UK, would leave the Customs Union, meaning that customs controls would be needed for cross-border goods trade.
On 4 October the Government assured the highest civil court in Scotland that Johnson would send a letter to the EU seeking an extension to Article 50 as required by the European Union (Withdrawal) (No.
On 17 October 2019, a revised withdrawal agreement, with a changed backstop, was agreed by the EU leaders and Boris Johnson.
MPs passed an amendment by 322 votes to 306 that withheld Parliament's approval until legislation implementing the deal had been passed, and forced the Government to request a delay to Brexit until 31 January 2020.
Later that evening, 10 Downing Street confirmed that Boris Johnson would send a letter to the EU requesting an extension, but would not sign it.
MPs voted on the Bill itself, which was passed by 329 votes to 299, and on the timetable for debating the Bill, which was defeated by 322 votes to 308.
Prior to the votes, Johnson had stated that if his timetable failed to generate the support needed to pass in parliament he would abandon attempts to get the deal approved and would seek a general election.
Labour's losses in the general election led its leader Jeremy Corbyn to announce his intention to resign as the party's leader.
The Liberal Democrats increased their vote share to 11.6% of the votes, though leader Jo Swinson was obliged under her party's rules to announce her resignation after losing her seat in East Dunbartonshire, leaving her party with 11 seats.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) made a net gain of 13 seats across Scotland, winning 45% of the Scottish vote and 48 of the 59 Scottish seats, while in Wales, Plaid Cymru retained its four seats with no significant change in vote share.
In Northern Ireland, for the first time more Irish Nationalist MPs were elected than British Unionists, although unionist parties still won more votes; Sinn Féin retained the same number of seats, and the DUP lost two seats, while the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) regained two seats, and the Alliance Party regained a seat, giving the latter two parties a restored presence in the House of Commons.
The election results had a variety of different effects and set the dynamics of UK politics going into the new decade.
For the first time since the 2016 referendum it became almost certain that Brexit would take place with the process of passing the withdrawal agreement through parliament beginning before Christmas.
For the Conservative Party, the election meant a shift from a fairly weak administration in the hung parliament of 2017 to 2019 to governing with a majority on a scale they had not known since the early 1990s, potentially, setting them up to remain in power for many years to come.
For the Labour Party, the defeat meant an end to the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn with preparations beginning for a new leadership contest in early 2020 whilst rekindling debates within the party and beyond about it's tactical and ideological future.
Melinda Fábián (born June, 25 1987) is a Hungarian mixed martial artist, she was the first Hungarian to compete in the UFC.
Born in 1987, Melinda Fábián first started fighting martial arts at the age of 12, starting to shotokan karate at Vértesszőlős, where she reached the brown belt.
He returned home in 2006 and started his favorite martial art, which he liked as a kenpo karate the kurayfat campsite.
A year later, he had already won a silver medal at the World Championships in Home Affairs as a blue belt.
And in 2013, at the World Championships, also home to the podium, he was the winner of the full contact and knockdown rules, with a black belt at his waist.
After finding great success at the campsite, Melinda set out on mixed martial arts, which was less well known in Hungary at the time.
In this style, ground combat plays the same role as standing, so wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu are at the forefront, as evidenced in Melinda's victories.
The blonde lady first entered the cage at HFC 09 in 2015 as the only Hungarian female warrior in a quad tournament in front of a domestic audience.
In the opening match, he had a straight-up victory in the first round, but he got exactly the same technique from his more experienced American opponent in the final.
In the next 3 games he ended with one draw, one win (Ezekiel choke) and one with a split scoring defeat.
He has been invited to The Ultimate Fighter UFC reality show, which has not become a former champion, and often gets a UFC contract at the end of the show.
And the stake in the 26th TUF season was nothing but the winner becoming the champion of the newly introduced women's weight (57kg) division.
In the show, every warrior has a homemade video in which Melinda introduces Budapest, her apartment and talks about her team the Budapest Top Team.
At the start of the game, the Hungarian girl worked well in stand-up combat but was unable to defend Rachael's grounding and gave up her back with an unfortunate move and the American took the opportunity and pulled in the back throttle after some submission attempts and some ground-and-pound and victory.
With that defeat, Melinda's chances went to further the show, but the UFC gave her one more chance to prove she was in the Ultimate Fighter 26 Finale.
The Ringgold Depot, on what is now U.S. Route 41 in Ringgold, Georgia, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
It was the first edition of the Invitation Limited Over Tournament, replacing the Premier Limited Overs Tournament, after Sri Lanka Cricket failed to approve the latter due to delays in their domestic cricket structure.
On 19 December 2019, Sandun Weerakkody scored the fastest List A century by a Sri Lankan batsman, scoring 101 not out from 39 balls for Sinhalese Sports Club against Burgher Recreation Club.

Originally the battalion, like all Italian tank units, was part of the infantry, but since 1 June 1999 it is part of the cavalry.
In 1942 the IV Tank Battalion was ceded to the 133rd Tank Infantry Regiment, with which it served in the Western Desert Campaign until regiment and battalion were destroyed in the Second Battle of El Alamein.
After World War II the IV Tank Battalion was reformed in 1951 as unit of the 31st Tank Regiment, which transferred the battalion on 1 July 1963 to the 3rd Bersaglieri Regiment.
Tank and armored battalions created during the 1975 army reform were all named for officers, soldiers and partisans, who were posthumously awarded Italy's highest military honor the Gold Medal of Military Valour for heroism during World War II.
The election was held in the historically Democratic district after the resignation of Democrat Bill Richardson, who became the United States Ambassador to the United Nations.
As no candidate received an outright majority during the first round on March 15, 1997 a special runoff was held on April 12, 1997, which was won by State Representative Ciro Rodriguez.
M. Maryan was the pseudonym used by Marie Rosalie Virginie Cadiou (1847-1927), a French novelist born in Brest who worked in Paris.
The name was created early in her career by a random printing error of the first name of her maternal grandmother, Mary-Ann Kirkland, which was the pen name the young author had intended to use.
Cadiou (born 21 December 1847) was the daughter of a captain and mayor of Guipavas, niece of Admiral Thomas Louis, and sister of the writer Paul Cadiou.
From her marriage to Charles-Albert Deschard (1836-1919) who was Commissioner General of the Navy, she had six children: Albert (Chief Commissioner of the Navy), Marthe, Marie (wife of Rear Admiral René Nielly), Paul (a battalion commander), André and Pierre.
As of 2019, some of her writings are available in print, and can be found under M. Maryan, Maryan-M, or Marie Deschard.
Madeira Abyssal Plain, also called Madeira Plain, is an abyssal plain situated at the center and deepest part of the Canary Basin.
Its western boundary is marked by a chain of seamounts known as the either Seewarte Seamounts or Atlantis-Great Meteor Seamount Chain.
They are a southern sub-basin, which lies at a water depth of about , a central sub-basin which lies at a deeper water depth of about , and the northern sub-basin which lies at an intermediate water depth of about .
The central sub-basin, which is also known as Great Meteor East after a seamount situated to the west, occupies a broad area of and is bounded by about the -contour.
The central sub-basin of the Madeira Abyssal Plain is relatively flat plain that is occasionally interrupted by small abyssal hills of a few hundred meters in height and draped by pelagic and hemipelagic sediments.
These abyssal hills become more numerous to the north, south and west where they form the boundaries of the central sub-basin.
In 1980, the Nuclear Energy Agency's Seabed Working Group selected the Madeira Abyssal Plain as a site for the possible disposal of heat-emitting radioactive waste.
Even though this concept was later abandoned, it resulted in this region being the location for intensive studies of its bathymetry, geology, oceanography, and biota.
Since the 1980s, the Madeira Abyssal Plain has been studied in detail by the Ocean Drilling Program and research concerning the Moroccan Turbidite System.
Seismic reflection profiles across the Canary Basin and Madeira Abyssal Plain reveal north-northeast – south-southwest ridge and trough terrain typical of oceanic crust and west-northwest – east-southeast striking fracture zone valleys that are spaced about part.
Because most of the Madeira Abyssal Plain lies within the Cretaceous Superchron, the oceanic crust underlying it cannot be precisely dated by magnetic striping.
However, interpolation between recognised magnetic stripes estimated an age range of about 75 to 105 Ma for the oceanic crust underlying the central sub-basin.
These sediments initially in filled irregularities on the uneven surface of the heimipelagic sediments to produce a flat plain that later turbidites accumulated.
In seismic reflection, the sequnce of turbidites varies from being strongly acoustically laminated near the top to poorly stratified to transparent near the base.
These turbidites represent organic-rich sediments that turbidity currents transported from two sources, one north and one south of the Canary Islands.
Their base is usually olive green where the organic material remains below surface oxidation and their upper part is pale green where the organic material has been oxidized.
These turbidites represent the distal sediments of turbidity currents generated by massive submarine landslides resulting from the collapse of the flanks of volcanic seamounts or islands within either the Canary islands or Madeira Archipelago.
Finally, there are calcareous turbidites derived from submarine landslides effecting one of the Seewarte Seamounts to the west of the Madeira Abyssal Plain.
As determined by microfossils, each individual layer often represents represents several tens of thousands of years of pelagic sedimentation in a deep sea, abyssal environment.
Depending on the carbonate compensation depth at the time of deposition, these layers consist either of calcareous ooze, marls, or clay.
During the last 2.6 million years within the region of the Madeira Abyssal Plain, carbonate compensation depth has been closely controlled by the general circulation of ocean currents and has oscillated in phase with climatic shifts.
This lead either to poor preservation of calcareous microfossils and frequently no preservation of them at all and, respectively, the accumulation of either marl or clay to form pelagic layers.
He was a prosecutor against members of the October 22 Group, and was captured by members of the Red Brigades on 18 April 1974 in Genoa.
The International Federation of Trade Unions of Transport Workers (, FIOST) was an International Trade Federation affiliated to the World Confederation of Labour (WCL).
The federation was established in 1921 at a conference in Lucerne, as the International Federation of Christian Trade Unions of Railway, Tramway and Other Transport Workers.
In 2006, the WCL merged into the new International Trade Union Confederation, and FIOST dissolved, its former affiliates mostly joining the International Transport Workers' Federation.
Jordan Ford (born May 26, 1998) is an American college basketball player for the Saint Mary's Gaels of the West Coast Conference.
Ford was a chess prodigy, learning the game at the age of four with his father, Cuzear, serving as his teacher.
He began beating adults before winning two California state titles and ranked seventh in the nation but quit playing competitively at the age of eight to focus on basketball.
He committed to play for Saint Mary's because he liked the structured offense, spurning offers from Gonzaga, California, Oregon and Oregon State.
As a freshman, Ford considered redshirting, but ultimately came off the bench as a backup to Joe Rahon, who encouraged him to focus on his defense.
In he summer of 2017, Ford was diagnosed with epiglottitis and ended up in the hospital, losing the 12 pounds he gained lifting weights.
Ford had 19 points against Southeastern Louisiana in the first round of the NIT and made a SportsCenter top 10 play when he took a pass from Emmett Naar and did a double-spin move to complete a layup off the glass.
As a sophomore, Ford averaged 11.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game, shooting 50.8 percent from the field and 44.3 percent from behind the arc.
As a junior, Ford was second in the WCC in scoring with 21.1 points per game to go with 2.5 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game.
He helped lead the Gaels to an upset on Gonzaga in the conference championship and NCAA Tournament appearance, where they fell to Villanova.
In his senior season opener, he scored 26 points and hit 4-of-8 three-pointers as Saint Mary's defeated Wisconsin 65-63 in overtime.

The World Federation of Building and Woodworkers' Unions (, FMCB) was an International Trade Federation affiliated to the World Confederation of Labour (WCL).
The federation was established on 9 September 1937, at a meeting in Paris, when the International Federation of Christian Woodworkers merged with the International Federation of Christian Workers in the Building Trades.
Initially known as the International Federation of Christian Trade Unions of Building and Woodworkers, it adopted its final name in 1973.
In December 2005, the federation merged with the International Federation of Building and Wood Workers, to form the Building and Wood Workers' International.
A short section of the street, between Prinsesse Charlottes Gade and Stevnsgade, has been closed to traffic and is now also known as Guldberg Byplads.
The oldest section of the street, between Nørrebrogade and Prinsesse Charlottes Gade, was initially called Thranesvej after merchant L. E. Thrane who owned a property at the site.
It opened in 1917 as one of several new public bath houses in the city but closed when private bathrooms had become common later in the century.

Jorge López Pérez, also known as El Chuta, is a Mexican suspected drug lord and high-ranking member of Los Zetas, a criminal group based in Tamaulipas, Mexico.
In 1981, he deserted from the military and joined a cell of the Juárez Cartel, where he coordinated drug trafficking operations in Cancún.
When the group was formed in the late 1990s, it was originally responsible for proving security services to Cárdenas Guillén and carrying out executions on the cartel's behalf.
However, it underwent organizational changes over the years and began to involve itself in other criminal activities, like drug trafficking alongside the Gulf Cartel.
Due to his previous experience in the Juárez Cartel and his knowledge of drug operations in the area, López Pérez was assigned to coordinate drug trafficking activities for Los Zetas in Cancún.
According to security forces, López Pérez and other members of Los Zetas based in the Mexican states of Quintana Roo, Yucatán, Chiapas and Campeche receive protection from corrupt municipal authorities and former members of the Juárez Cartel.
In 2004, he was responsible for coordinating international drug trafficking shipments in the Riviera Maya, an area that extended from Cancun to Tulum.
This turf was a strategic reception area for Los Zetas because it allowed them to receive South American narcotics arriving by boat.
On 18 June 2003, Mexico's Attorney General's Office (PGR) placed an unspecified bounty on 31 members of Los Zetas, including López Pérez.
This announcement was made after the Specialized Unit Against Organized Crime (UEDO) identified him as a high-ranking member of Los Zetas following 14 March arrest of Cárdenas Guillén.
Unlike other Zetas members who voluntarily requested their release from the military, López Pérez had deserted and joined organized crime, which is considered high treason in a military court; López Pérez was wanted by the PGR, the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA) and the Secretariat of Public Security (SSP) for his outstanding charges.
Few details of his criminal activities are known; unlike the rest of the early members of Los Zetas, who were arrested and/or killed over the years, López Pérez reportedly disappeared from public view.
Mexican authorities believe that he is trying to live a low-profile existence to avoid detection since there is an outstanding arrest warrant for him.

Enforcement with consequences is the policy implemented within the US to help deter the rising tide of immigration that has grown in the US.
It is the expansion of policy and consequences for people who choose to enter illegally and subjects them to legal, political and educational debates concerning legality status.
In 1965 Congress passed amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act that placed numerical limits on immigration from the western hemisphere.
Beginning in the 1990s, regular crossing points in Texas and California were targeted for extra guarding, such as in 1994 Operation Gatekeeper, as a way to stop crossings in heavy traffic areas.
This had little effect on the flow of people across the border and instead pushed people to attempt to cross in more dangerous and secluded areas such as the Sonoran Desert which claims the lives of hundreds of immigrants per year.
They reduced access to safety net programs, toughened border enforcement, made it harder to claim asylum, stripped many due process rights of those in custody and expanded grounds for deportation.
The Bush Administration originally had the plan to make a long lasting relationship with Mexico in order to streamline the process of bringing in cheap manual labor to be used in the country.
During 2005 this stance had radically changed however and the beginning of using the US law as consequence for illegal entry had begum.
The house bill written and proposed by James Sensenbrenner began to crack down harder and gave more offenses to aiding illegal immigrants, this included helping or and illegal, knowingly hiring an illegal and being in the country illegally.
During this time Congressman Tom Tancredo (Republican-Colorado) began to voice his opinion that immigration had begun to change the way that American culture was valued.
In the end the Bush administration failed in its original plan to build a relationship with Mexico and was the start of hard consequences for illegal immigration in the country.
The Obama administration had campaigned with a promise to address and reform the immigration System but after entering into office this idea fell to the wayside in favor of other issues plaguing American Society.
In June 2012 he created the important program to help those who had entered illegally called The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or the DACA program for short, it focused on children who entered illegally against their wills and faced many hardships as a result.
It has proven to be overall successful and helped hundreds of thousands to thrive in the US, it is unfortunately constantly under threat however because of bi-partisan legislation and as a result remains under attack.
The Administration is also known to have the highest deportation records of any administration and is responsible for the incarceration of millions of illegal migrants.
Large scale work-site raids used by the Bush Administration was done away with and a focus on investigations and penalization of employers was used instead.
As a result of this stance The Fugitive Operations Act had also undergone changes so that the limited resources that were allocated to this process focused on the most dangerous fugitives and not the easiest ones.
Also during this time there was a huge influx of Central American refugees who arrived at the border seeking asylum and protection and as a result the Obama Administration treated it more as an enforcement problem rather than a humanitarian problem faced by the refugees, As a result poorly constructed detention centers were created to house and deter anymore refugees from coming to the border.
Most were not given fair trails or access to attorneys and the entire system was rushed creating a large number of deported individuals sent back to some of the most unstable areas in the world.
The Trump Administration has followed the idea of economic nationalism and as such has created an idea of America First with an emphasis on protection American workers and Industries.
Bans on many areas have been into place in order to restrict the amount of refugees and asylum seekers, increasing screening of refugees while cutting staff and resources to do so and work to end the DACA program were enacted in order to get a hold on refugee and migrant movement.
Many of the same policies and actions used by the Obama Administration are still used such as detention centers and little to no support in the legal arena for these migrants.
The focus on building the wall has also created a spotlight on the Mexican border making it even harder for illegal migrants to enter the country.
Trump as also closed the border in 2018 hoping to deter people from trying to enter, but the number of asylum seeking refugees has only increased.
To reduce recidivism, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) introduced the Consequence Delivery System (CDS) a joint initiative in December 2005.
The concern for the public is the cost of enforcing and applying consequences to prevent the further movement across the U.S. border.
An analysis of the rate of recidivism during the period in which CDS was implemented in the southwest border sectors show the lack of consistent consequences.
Such factors contribute to the notion that CDS does not impact recidivism, but rather supports a much larger strategy to prevent and deter illegal immigration.
The collaborative approach to apply consequences is effective in using the state’s available resources, but inefficiently increases costs compared to other border security measures.
Most notably the Secured Border Initiative (SBI) uses prevention through deterrence by largely relying on the rugged and desolate terrain of the U.S. southwest border to impede the flow of people from the south.
So, in using the natural environment of the U.S. southern border to enhance tactical advantage, SBI compared to CDS is a success in terms of cost.
Rather than enhancing available strategies, CDS introduces new coordination in assessing apprehended aliens and strategically applying the Most Effective and Efficient consequences likely to reduce recidivism.
As noted in Table 1, CDS proposes code OA, or Operation Against Smugglers Initiative on Safety and Security (OASISS), as the Most Effective and Efficient consequence applicable for suspected smugglers.
In contrast, family unit apprehension constitutes a less serious threat to national security, and CDS concurs by issuing a Warrant or Notice to Appear (WN) as the Most Effective and Efficient consequence.
Variations of Most Effective and Efficient consequences for alien type and border sector during the period of FY 13 through FY 15 are formatted in the table below.
Although all 9 U.S. southwest border sectors enforce CDS, Border Patrol Agents are given discretion in deciding the actual consequence aliens receive.
CDS, for example, in FY 13 established the Most Effective and Efficient consequences as Expedited Removal to a family unit apprehended in the Big Bend sector.
In deciding the consequence to apply, Border Patrol agents are allowed to circumvent actual applied consequence that either increase or decrease in severity.
Data reflecting the resources available for each border sector are not published by DHS, so the overall performance of CBP is used to infer the effectiveness of a consequence.
In 2015, the Office of Inspector General reported that Laredo and Del Rio were not given additional resources to execute SP operations.
In FY 2014, CBP annual Performance and Accountability Reports reported a 12.5% decrease in recidivism from FY 2013 and remained stagnant through FY 2015 CDS reflects the constraints in resource by avoiding the enforcement of SP as the Most Effective and Efficient in both sectors from FY2014 through FY2015.
The Most Effective and Efficient consequences are not applied consistently but CDS continues to contribute enforcement with consequence as the main agent reducing recidivism.
This network of law enforcement apprehends and removes illegal and criminal aliens to prevent and deter illegal immigration across the U.S. borders.
The change in the policy has jeopardized basic human rights; undocumented citizens are getting mistreated, discriminated, criminalized, arrested, deported, and separated.
ICE is targeting Latin communities, and mental health has worsened for the these communities.The United States is profiting and benefiting from mobilizing the use of private prisons and detention centers are overflowing.
Trump admin calls for local police and law enforcement to join with federal immigration enforcement to create a large crackdown on removing undocumented immigrants.
The intended goal is to create a relationship between law enforcement and communities so that citizens are willing to help immigration authorities and come forward with suspected undocumented status of those in the community.
The US Immigration and Customs enforcement describes this program to be a way to remove threats to safety and security by working with the FBI and Department of Homeland security to utilize arrest records and fingerprint records and checking them against immigration fingerprint records.
This is intended to find those illegal immigrants with a criminal record or outstanding arrest warrant, but also those who are in the United States illegally.
Attrition through enforcement is an idea that allows the identification and removal of illegal immigrants without the intervention of immigration enforcement.
This program requires compliance from local agencies to be strict about making sure social security numbers are attained and used appropriately, visas are in status, and that it is difficult for illegal immigrants to hide their illegal status.

A detailed timeline of the BattleTech fictional setting stretching from the late 20th century to the mid-32nd describes humanity's technological, social and political development and spread through space both in broad historical terms and through accounts of the lives of individuals who experienced and shaped that history, with an emphasis on (initially) the year 3025 and creating an ongoing storyline from there.
Individual lifestyles remain largely unchanged from those of modern times, due in part to stretches of protracted interplanetary warfare during which technological progress slowed or even reversed.
Cultural, political and social conventions vary considerably between worlds, but feudalism is widespread, with many states ruled by hereditary lords and other nobility, below which are numerous social classes.

The universe is largely based in hard science fiction concepts — much of the technology used is either similar in advancement to that of the present day, or based on technology considered plausible in the near-future, such as the railgun.
Incessant warfare is generally blamed for the uneven advancement, the destruction of industry and institutes of learning over the centuries of warfare having resulted in the loss of much technology and knowledge.
Scientists first successfully tested an FTL engine in 2107, and late in the following year mounted the first long-range manned voyage, a 12-light year jump to the Tau Ceti star system.
This advancement reached its zenith during the latter years of the Star League with computing, communications, sensors, power and motor systems, medical sciences, and other technologies reaching high levels of refinement.
Following the collapse of the Star League in 2781, its constituent states fell into a protracted struggle for supremacy known as The Succession Wars.
The conflict saw the common use of weapons of mass destruction and the widespread destruction of factories, shipyards, and research facilities, resulting in a slow but steady degradation of scientific and technological expertise.
A mercenary unit, the Gray Death Legion, discovered one such cache, including a Star League memory core, on the planet Helm in 3026, a discovery that sparked a major technological renaissance.
The exodus of much of the Star League Defense Force after the League's collapse was also a significant blow to technological development in the Inner Sphere since it included many of the most advanced vessels and pieces of hardware.
Later to become known as the Clans, these forces, unlike those in the Inner Sphere, retained their technology and made refinements and enhancements that set them ahead of their Successor States counterparts.
In August 3132, a mysterious calamity collapsed the Hyperpulse Generator network, inhibiting interstellar communication and heralding a slow-down of technological development.
In a K-F jump, an initiator produces a hyperspace field which is then magnified and focused by a large, superconductive mass of titanium/germanium.
Depending on the distance to be traversed, the ship spends up to 15 seconds in hyperspace before reemerging into normal space through another jump point at the destination.
The opening and closing of jump points destroys large numbers of subatomic particles and produces a pulse of electromagnetic energy that can be detected at considerable range.
Jumping requires copious amounts of energy, usually gathered from the nearby star over the course of approximately a week by large solar collectors similar to solar sails and stored in giant capacitors.
A quicker but less common technique is to draw the energy from a fusion reactor, or to take advantage of recharge stations in the vicinity of major jump points.
Vessels equipped with K-F drives are known as jumpships and range in mass up to 500,000 tons, though warships, a subclass of jumpship hardened against attack and fitted with naval weapons, may mass up to 2.5 million tons.
The size and delicacy of a jumpship's K-F drive and the danger of jumping while in a gravitational well limits such vessels to deep space and precludes planetary landings.
Jumpships often use sail-like collectors to gather solar energy and fusion engines for sub-light maneuvers, and normally travel with a small retinue of dropships.
Dropships lack faster-than-light engines and instead use fusion motors for covering short interplanetary distances, for orbital and atmospheric maneuvers, and for takeoffs and landings.
HyperPulse Generator (HPG) arrays serve as the primary means of interstellar communication in the BattleTech universe and operate on worlds throughout inhabited space.
HPGs operate on a similar principle as the Kearny-Fuchida jump drive, sending a directional radio transmission instantaneously from one station to another over a distance of up to 50 light years.
A message can reach any station in the Inner Sphere in approximately six months, with transit times of as little as a few days possible at great expense.
Over the next 150 years, the Star League constructed a network of generators that extended hyperpulse communications to numerous worlds throughout the Inner Sphere.
Following the fracturing of ComStar after the battle of Tukayyid in 3052, hyperpulse technology slowly began to disseminate to the states of the Inner Sphere.
A mysterious calamity collapsed the Hyperpulse Generator network in August 3132, effectively ending practical interstellar communication over much of inhabited space.
It also acts as a security device, limiting access to authorized users via alpha brain wave pattern recognition (many BattleMechs mentioned in the novels also incorporate more conventional security measures such as voice-recognition and personalised codes).
Colonies dependent on this ice trade prospered while it continued, but little true terraforming was accomplished in this way and the colonies tended to wither when the trade was interrupted by wars.
Terraforming, the process of adapting an inhospitable planetary environment into one suitable for human occupation, occurs with varying degrees of success through history.
Terran engineers mounted repeated attempts over the course of centuries to moderate the dense and acidic atmosphere of Venus, succeeding enough to allow limited surface colonization under protective domes.
Terra is the homeworld of mankind (no longer commonly called Earth, although this name is sometimes used) and former capital of the Star League.
Several groups have held Terra, including the Terran Alliance, Terran Hegemony, ComStar, Word of Blake, and the Republic of the Sphere; most of these nations fought bitter struggles upon Terra, scarring the world.
The leader of each Great House claims to be the rightful successor to the rule of the Star League, and so the nations the Houses rules over are known as the Successor States.
The largest of these nations (the Outworlds Alliance, Taurian Concordat, Magistracy of Canopus, and Rim Worlds Republic) predate the Star League and rival the Successor States themselves in size, but are vastly inferior economically and militarily.
The Periphery contains countless other independent nations, many consisting of a single star system each and rarely playing a significant role in Inner Sphere politics.
The mostly uncharted space beyond the nearby Periphery states is known as the Deep Periphery and contains numerous pirate havens and lost Star League colonies.
During the fall of the aforementioned Star League, the Star League Defense Force exiled itself and eventually settled in the Deep Periphery.
The four strongest of these Clans returned to the Inner Sphere as would-be conquerors in 3049, were reinforced by three more Clans a year later, and were joined in the late 3060s by another two.
Of the original twenty Clans, by 3067 three were absorbed, two were annihilated, two fragmented, two defected, and one was abjured.
Among the most famous mercenary groups are the Wolf's Dragoons, Eridani Light Horse, Kell Hounds, Northwind Highlanders, Gray Death Legion, and McCarron's Armored Cavalry.
In later years, FASA abandoned these images as a result of a lawsuit brought against them by Playmates Toys and Harmony Gold over the use of said images.
In 2007, Classic BattleTech line developer Randall N. Bills explained that FASA had sued Playmates over the use of images owned by FASA.
FASA realized that the use of licensed images made them vulnerable to lawsuits and worried that such a suit would bankrupt the company.
Anantakrishna Shahapur popularly known as Satyakama was a Kannada writer, Indian freedom fighter and a journalist who was born on 2 March 1920 in Galagali village of Bagalkot district, Karnataka.
The 2019-20 Army Black Knights men's ice hockey season was the 117th season of play for the program, the 110th at the Division I level, and the 17th season in the Atlantic Hockey conference.
The wildlife of Christmas Island is composed of the flora and fauna of this isolated island in the tropical Indian Ocean.
The island is the flat summit of an underwater volcano more than high, with about being submerged and only about above the surface.
Two thirds of the island is included in the Christmas Island National Park which includes rainforests, wetlands, cliffs, shore and coral reefs.
The rainforest on the upper slopes and central plateau consists of large evergreen trees with a canopy at and a scattering of emergent trees some high.
There are few shrubs, but the trunks and branches of the trees are swathed in a tangle of vines, orchids and ferns.
There are at least 50 species on the island, some of them endemic, 30 of them terrestrial species whose only link with the ocean is the necessity to travel to the sea to breed.
Several are small and inconspicuous, but others such as the coconut crab and Christmas Island red crab are large and present in enormous numbers.
In the late twentieth century there were estimated to be about 120 million red crabs on the island, and the mass migration made by the mature individuals to the coast was spectacular.
The red crabs are a keystone species, feeding on the forest floor on leaves, fallen fruits, flowers, seedlings and carrion and maintaining a lawn-like turf.
In the twenty-first century the number of red crabs has reduced considerably because of the accidental introduction of the yellow crazy ant to the island; this invasive species has formed supercolonies, killed crabs and had a profound impact on the biodiversity of the island.
The island is fringed by coral reefs and nearly seven hundred species of marine fish have been recorded in the surrounding waters as well as three species of marine turtle and about a dozen species of whales and dolphins.
Christmas Island is recognised by BirdLife International as being an Important Bird Area, mostly because of the breeding populations of seabirds.
These include the red-footed booby, which nests in colonies in bushes and trees, the brown booby, which nests on cliffs, and the endemic Abbott's booby which nests on tall, emergent trees.
Land birds include four endemic species, the Christmas thrush, the Christmas imperial pigeon, the Christmas white-eye and the Christmas Island hawk-owl, and several endemic sub-species.
The film centres on Sarah (Clémence Dufresne-Deslières), a young con artist who regularly fakes a crisis on the side of the road so that she can rob men who stop to help her; however, after one of her cons results in a man's accidental death, she befriends the man's grieving widow Françoise (Sophie Lorain) while simultaneously trying to maintain her relationship with her crime boss Ji-Guy (Sébastien Ricard).
The film received two Prix Jutra nominations at the 15th Jutra Awards in 2013, for Best Supporting Actor (Ricard) and Best Supporting Actress (Lorain).

Resilience in the Built Environment is the Built environment's capability to keep adapting to existing and emerging threats such as severe wind storms or earthquakes and creating robustness and redundancy in building design.
New implications of changing conditions on the efficiency of different approaches to design and planning can be addressed in the following term.
The root of the term resilience is found in the Latin term 'resilio' which means to go back to a state or to spring back.
The term was used to describe a property in the strength of timber, as beams were bent and deformed to support heavy load.
These definitions can be used in engineering resilience due to the application of a single material that has a stable equilibrium regime rather than the complex adaptive stability of larger systems.
In his paper Resilience and Stability of Ecological systems (1973), Holling first explored the topic of resilience through its application to the field of ecology.
The application to ecosystems was later used to draw into other manners of human, cultural and social applications.The random events described by Holling are not only climatic, but instability to neutral systems can occur through the impact of fires, the changes in forest community or the process of fishing.
Stability, on the other hand, is the ability of a system to return to an equilibrium state after a temporary disturbance.
Multiple state systems and conditions rather than objects should be studied as the world is a heterogeneous space with various biological, physical and chemical characteristics.
Unlike material and engineering resilience, Ecological and social resilience focus on the redundancy and persistence of multi-equilibrium states to maintain existence of function.
Within this framework, resilience is calculated based on the time it takes a system to return to a single state equilibrium.
also known as adaptive resilience, social-ecological resilience is a new concept that shifts the focus to combining the social, ecological and technical domains of resilience.
In adaptive buildings, both short term and long term resilience are addressed to ensure that the system can withstand disturbances with social and physical capacities.
Laboy and Fannon recognize that the resilience model is shifting, and have applied the MCEER four properties of resilience to the planning, designing and operating phases of architecture.
Rather than using four properties to describe resilience, Laboy and Fannon suggest a 6R model that adds Recovery for the operation phase of a building and Risk Avoidance for the planning phase of the building.
In the operation phase of the building, a disturbance does not mark the end of resilience, but should propose a recovery plan for future adaptations.
The most recent International Building Code (IBC)was released in 2018 by the International Code Council (ICC), focusing on standards that protect public health, safety and welfare, without restricting use of certain building methods.
Shocks are natural forms of hazards (floods, earthquakes), while stresses are more chronic events that can develop over a longer period of time (affordability, drought).
It is important to understand the application of resilient design on both shocks and stresses as buildings can play a part in contributing to their resolution.
Even though the IBC is a model code, it is adopted by various state and governments to regulate specific building areas.
In addition, the safety of a structure is determined by material usage, frames, and structure requirements can provide a high level of protection for occupants.
The U.S Resiliency Council (USRC), a non-profit organization, created the USRC Rating system which describes the expected impacts of a natural disaster on new and existing buildings.
The USRC building rating system rates buildings with stars ranging from one to five stars based on the dimensions used in their systems.
In addition to the technical review provided by the USRC, A CRP seismic analysis applies for a USRC rating with the required documentation.
The USRC building rating system does not take into consideration any changes to the design of the building that might occur after the rating is awarded.
In addition, changes in the uses of the building after certification might include the use of hazardous materials would not affect the rating certification of the building.
In 2013, The 100 Resilient Cities Program was initiated by the Rockefeller foundation, with the goal to help cities become more resilient to physical, social and economic shocks and stresses.
The program helps facilitate the resilience plans in cities around the world through access to tools, funding and global network partners such as ARUP and the AIA.
Of 1,000 cities that applied to join the program, only 100 cities were selected with challenges ranging from aging populations, cyber attacks, severe storms and drug abuse.
The authors found that the program broadens the scope and improved the Resilience plan of Rotterdam by including access to water, data, clean air, cyber robustness, and safe water.
The findings of the article can support the understanding of resiliency at a larger urban scale that requires an integrated approach with coordination across multiple government scales, time scales and fields.
In addition to integrating resiliency into building code and building certification programs, the 100 resilience Cities program provides other support opportunities that can help increase awareness through non-profit organizations.
RELi is a design criteria used to develop resilience in multiple scales of the built environment such as buildings, neighborhoods and infrastructure.
The first version of RELi was released in 2014, it is currently still in the pilot phase, with no points allocated for specific credits.
The RELi Catalog considers multiple scales of intervention with requirements for a panoramic approach, risk adaptation & mitigation for acute events and a comprehensive adaptation & mitigation for the present and future.
References to other rating systems that have been used can help increase awareness on RELi and its credibility of its use.
The pilot credits are found in the Integrative Process category and are applicable to all Building Design and Construction rating systems.
LEED credits overlap with RELi rating system credits, the USGBC has been refining RELi to better synthesize with the LEED resilient design pilot credits.
For example, earthquakes that took place in the Wenchuan County in 2008, lead to major landslides which relocated entire city district such as Old Beichuan.
It is difficult to discuss the concepts of resilience and sustainability in comparison due to the various scholarly definitions that have been used in the field over the years.
Many policies and academic publications on both topics either provide their own definitions of both concepts or lack a clear definition of the type of resilience they seek.
Sanchez et al proposed a new characterization of the term ‘sustainable resilience’ which expands the social-ecological resilience to include more sustained and long-term approaches.
Both concepts share essential assumptions and goals such as passive survivability and persistence of a system operation over time and in response to disturbances.
There is also a shared focus on climate change mitigation as they both appear in larger frameworks such as Building Code and building certification programs.
For example, in RELi and in LEED and other building certifications, providing access to safe water and an energy source is crucial before, during and after a disturbance.
Some forms of resilience such as adaptive resilience focus on designs that can adapt and change based on a shock event, on the other hand, sustainable design focuses on systems that are efficient and optimized.
The 2020 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the provincial women's curling championship for Southern Ontario, was held from January 27 to February 1 at the Ed Lumley Arena in Cornwall, Ontario.
Rachel Homan's rink from the Ottawa Curling Club completed their perfect undefeated run when they defeated Hollie Duncan's rink from the Royal Canadian Curling Club 7–6.
Nine teams will qualify from two cash spiels (two each), an open qualifier (two teams), plus the top three southern Ontario teams in the CTRS standings (as of December 1, 2019).
Originally the event was to have just eight teams, but CurlON decided on December 9, 2019 to expand the field to nine teams with the addition of one team qualifying through their CTRS ranking.
The Annick Water flows between the village of Perceton and the hamlet of Lawthorn, however, the OS map shows that the hamlet was subsumed into the village of Perceton by 1895 and lost much of its identity.
A toll house once stood near Lawthorn Cottage facing the bridge over the Annick Water; it became the property of the Earl of Eglinton after toll roads were abolished in the 1880s and local councils took over responsibility.
The Barony of Stane, St Bride's Kirk and Bourtreehill passed by marriage in 1508 of Elizabeth Francis, the sole heiress, to William Montgomery of Greenfield, third son of the 1st Earl of Eglinton.
The tower has been much altered with Gothic windows added when the building was altered to become a folly on the Eglinton Estate.
The coat of arms of the Montgomery's of Stane and Greenfield were placed on the tower, being the same as those of Eglinton, but with 'proper distinction'.
The 1858 OS map marks the site of a nearby cemetery and an intriguing subterranean passage or vault four feet below the surface; nothing is visible at the site today.
A small village once existed here and Stanecastle may have been the site of a nunnery before it became the home of the Francis family.
Regarded as a large and prehistoric cairn or barrow, a type of tumulus, a burial mound dating within the time period approximately 1300–700 BC, the Bronze Age.
It is the highest point in the locality and its prominence is in keeping with barrows, cairns and other such burial sites.
The name 'Lawthorn' is suggestive of a secondary use as court hill or justice hill, which is the strong local oral tradition.
The many 'Law Hills' in Scotland are considered to be ancient seats of justice where feudal justice was dispensed, investitures confirmed and other courts held before tolbooths were built.
Stanecastle was the caput of the Barony of Stane and Lawthorn Mount may have been the location where the baronial court convened.
No 'gallows' place-names are recorded for the vicinity however the Annick Water is nearby regarding judicial drownings of females as per the power of 'pit and gallows' then held by the laird or baron.
It measures 21 paces in diameter at the base, in diameter at the top and high; is largely composed of boulders and one particularly large boulder of graywacke stone, long, is partially buried on the top edge facing south, above any possible kerb stones.
The significance of this distinctive stone is unknown, however, the name 'stone' for the barony, the nearby place-names 'Stonemuir' and 'Lawthorn Mickle Stone' are suggestive a fallen or deliberately levelled standing stone.
Given that the name 'William Frawnces de le Stane' is recorded from 1407 the place-name 'Stane' is unlikely to refer to the castle itself being built of stone to replace an earlier wooden one.
Lawthorn Mount has also have been as the possible site of an early castle constructed from wood although no physical evidence has been found as yet to corroborate this.
This much disturbed mound is clearly artificial and its size has been confused by a surrounding protective bank suggestive of a roundel created as part of landscaping works.
A Cairnmount Plantation is located nearby to the north and a modern Cairnmount has been built on an artificial mound at Sourlie in Eglinton Country Park.
The elm trees that were once common have died through Dutch elm disease however they have been left and their trunks encourage fungus growth and also provide nesting sites for bats and birds, including great spotted woodpecker.
Standing water in a hollow adds to the species diversity of the site, including a locally uncommon plant, the water figwort.
Parts of this wood survive with a number of old trees, running as far as the main road and bordering Lawthorn Primary School.
In 1855-57 it was described as a good farm steading with outer buildings used as offices and the tenant under the Earl of Eglinton was a James Dunlop.
Littlestone or Littlestane Farm stood on a lane off the western side of the nearby road and is shown as such in 1856.
A Stone Farm once stood opposite Lawthorn Wood and is recalled by inference in the names 'Littlestane' and the old Littlestane Loch.
William Roy's map published in 1752-55 shows Stone Farm lying in between Lawthorn Farm and Littlestone Farm with several buildings and hedged enclosures approached by a lane branching off the road to Stanecastle.
Stone Farm is still shown in 1826 but is not indicated on the 1856 OS map The site of the old Stane Farm is today marked by rubble, a building platform, field boundaries and the line of an entrance lane.
One may be 'Lawthorn' and the other 'Stane' The use of the name 'mickle' in farming usually refers to the larger of the two farms made up of unequal portions of an older area of land following the agricultural reconstruction of the 18th century as was the case on the Eglinton Estates as introduced by Alexander Montgomerie, 10th Earl of Eglinton.
He is a longtime producer and head writer for the program, who was sometimes heard on the air as a fill-in announcer when prior co-host Jeff Douglas was absent.
The 2020 Ontario Tankard, the provincial men's curling championship for Southern Ontario, is currently being held January 28 to February 2 at the Ed Lumley Arena in Cornwall, Ontario.
Nine teams will qualify from two cash spiels (two each), an open qualifier (two teams), plus the top two southern Ontario teams in the CTRS standings (as of December 1, 2019).
Originally the event was to have just eight teams, but CurlON decided on December 9, 2019 to expand the field to nine teams with the addition of one team qualifying through their CTRS ranking.
This is a reduction from the ten teams which played in the 2019 Tankard, making the number of entries equal to the provincial Scotties.
Fabio Fabbi was an Italian painter born in Bologna 18 July 1861 and died in Casalecchio di Reno 24 September 1946, student from Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, his paintings belong to the Orientalism.
Jones Construction, Panama City, Florida; sponsored by Mrs. Evelyn Marshall, wife of regional MARCOM auditor, and launched on 10 October 1944.
She continues the work started by her son, Rohith Vemula (leader of Ambedkar Students' Association), who committed suicide in the University of Hyderabad in 2016.
Queering the Map is a community-based online collaborative and counter-mapping platform on which users submit their personal queer experiences to specific locations on a single collective map.
LaRochelle has cited the lasting impact of personal memories on their perceptions towards places and Sara Ahmed's ideas on queerness as an orientation towards space as influences behind the project.
LaRochelle has stated that their main intent for initiating the project was to archive these spaces, which transcend the traditional notion of queer spaces as fixed places (like businesses or neighborhoods) that are reclaimed by clearly defined communities.
The same month, a cyberattack generating pins with comments in support of U.S. president Donald Trump forced LaRochelle to take down the site and ask for help on its URL.
Over the next two months, 8 volunteers developed a more secure version of the site on GitHub, and the project qualified for Cloudflare's free Project Galileo cybersecurity service.
Lucas LaRochelle has been invited to give lectures and workshops on and around the project in Canada, the Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Switzerland and the U.S., including at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York, the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus's School of Architecture in San Juan and the OTHERWISE festival in Zurich.
It was announced ahead of the 2018 Geneva Motor Show by TCR promoter WSC Ltd. As of December 2019, three manufacturers are lined up as entrancts SEAT performance brand CUPRA, Hyundai and Alfa Romeo.
Richard Vernon Moore Sr. (November 20, 1906 – January 2, 1994) was an American educator, who served as the third president of Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach, Florida (1947–75).
Moore commenced his career as an instructor of Social Studies and Coach of Athletics at Pinellas High School in Clearwater, Florida (1932-34), after which he was appointed the principal of Union Academy in Tarpon Springs, Florida (1934-37), then principal of Booker T. Washington High School in Pensacola, Florida (1944-45) and Florida's first African-American Supervisor of Secondary Schools for Negros.
Moore was awarded honorary doctoral degrees from fourteen different universities, including Edward Waters College (1948), Knoxville College (1950), Morris Brown College (1969), Syracuse University (1969), Claflin College (1969), Jacksonville University (1970), Ohio Northern University (1971), Florida Institute of Technology (1972), Florida International University (1972), Bethune-Cookman College (1973), Rust College (1974), Florida Southern College (1975), Florida Atlantic University (1975) and University of Florida (1983).
In 2000 he was honored with the designation as a Great Floridian, and his memorial plaque is located in the front of the Richard V. Moore Community Center, Daytona Beach, Florida.
In the men's 2019–20 Biathlon World Cup total score, for each participating athlete the points earned in all Individual, Sprint, Pursuit and Mass start competitions held during the season are added up with the two lowest scores subtracted at the end of the season to give that athlete's final score.
This includes the results from the Biathlon World Championships 2020 (held between the World Cup stages in Pokljuka and Nové Město).
In each event places 1 to 40 (1 to 30 in a Mass start) are awarded points, a victory being worth 60 points.
In a Mass start event only 30 athletes are allowed to participate and the points awarded for ranks 22 to 30 differ from the system used in other events.
An athlete's total World Cup Score is the sum of all World Cup points earned in the season, minus the points from 2 events in which the athlete got their worst scores.
If this number is the same for the athletes in question, the number of second places is compared, and so on.
Sébastien Ricard (born May 25, 1972) is a Canadian musician and actor from Quebec most noted as a member of the hip hop band Loco Locass.
She was named after Samuel G. Howe, a nineteenth century American physician, abolitionist, and an advocate of education for the blind.
Charles Kenneth Heiden (born July 7, 1925) was a major general in the United States Army, who served as the Commanding General of Fort Dix from 1980 to 1981.
Fatima Talib (, born 1 January 1928) is a Sudanese educator and women's rights activist who organised the first women-only organisation in Sudan.
In order to function, the society needed the support of the British authorities, so was advertised solely as a social concern, however it had political undertones.
She was educated at Unity High School in Khartoum and from there was the first woman from Sudan to obtain a degree London University.
From a young age she wanted to be a singer, but her family were opposed to this and married her to a cousin, who she later divorced so she follow a career in music.
She moved to Khartoum when she was fourteen-years old to do this and soon after her arrival, her singing voice was in demand for wedding parties.
Her work developed into the wider role of the ghanaya - a woman who is responsible for getting a bride ready for marriage, including teaching the bride to dance, bathing and massaging them and passing on information about sexual relations.
There are two rumours about why her name changed: one that she was given the nickname by British authorities as she was demonstrating in every major town; the other that her voice was likened to a specific type of palm tree.
She was arrested by the British government on several occasions, as well as being shot when Al-Azari raised the new Sudanese flag.
Along with Hasan Khalifa al-Atbarawi, she was arrested on the eve of the revolution in 1956 for singing nationalist songs at the Labour Theatre in Atbara and jailed for three months.
She had her front teeth knocked out by British troops whilst participating in a demonstration with the wife of Sudanese revolutionist Ali Abdel Latif.
She sang for a variety of famous people including Yasser Arafat, and sang at the wedding of King Farouk of Egypt and Narriman Sadek.
She was an exponent of the important role television and radio could play in people's lives, particularly in bridging gaps between generations.
As one of the last survivors of the revolution, she became a spokesperson for it, presenting television shows and receiving honours from Omar al-Bashir.
The flag was used from 1956 to 1970, but had a recent surge in popularity on social media in the 2019 revolution, with popular feeling wanting a new and more representative flag for the country.
Al-Tagtaga's mixture of political song and protest has inspired new generations of women in Sudan, recently the civil rights campaigner Alaa Salah recited poetry in the front of a crowd of protesters in Sudan.
This is a new chapter in a long tradition of Sudanese women singing poems of praise and lament in order to boost moral, honour the dead or to defy rulers.
NXT TakeOver: Tampa Bay is an upcoming professional wrestling show and WWE Network event produced by WWE for their NXT brand.
TakeOver is a series of professional wrestling shows that began on May 29, 2014, as the WWE developmental territory NXT held their second WWE Network exclusive live broadcast billed as TakeOver.
The men's 800 metres event at the 1975 Pan American Games was held in Mexico City on 13, 14 and 15 October.
The Baptistère de Saint Louis is an object of Islamic art, made of hammered brass, and inlaid with silver, gold, and niello.
Despite its common name, it has no connection with the King of France Louis IX, known as Saint Louis (1226 - 1270).It was used as a baptismal font for future French Kings, making it an important Islamic and French historical object.
The origins and original purpose of the basin are not fully known, since the first record of the object was in a French church inventory.
It was possibly used as a ritual washing bowl at the Mamluk court or it could have been commissioned by a Christian patron.
The Baptistère de Saint Louis has a complicated visual program on the interior and exterior, depicting a number of different groups of people, a wide variety of animals, fish, plants, and Arabic inscriptions.
Due to the ambiguous history of the basin, the meaning of the iconography, the exact date and location of its creation, and sponsorship is still being debated by scholars.
The conditions of commissioning and production of the object are still unknown, as is the date and context of its arrival in France.
It does not appear on the inventory of goods Charles V erected before 1380, but it is mentioned around 1440 in an unpublished inventory of the treasure of the Sainte-Chapelle de Vincennes.
He then goes on to describe the Persian or Chinese figures throughout the basin as well as the variety of animals represented throughout the inner frieze.
The same author recognizes many Western characters; he believes that the four horsemen present in the medallions outside indicate the years of conflict between the sultans and the Franks.
Milin also raises the possibility of an earlier arrival in France, linked to the Embassy of Harun al-Rashid to Charlemagne at the beginning of the 10th century.
The work also presents rather imprecise engravings, but which show that the object has not undergone major modification since that time, with the exception of the addition of two plates to the arms of France in 1821, a date in which the object is used to baptise the Duke of Bordeaux.
It left the museum temporarily in 1856 to serve in Notre Dame at the baptismal ceremony of Prince Napoleon Eugene; this is the last time this basin was used as a baptismal object.
Barbet de Jouy calls into question the dating proposed before and puts forward the hypothesis of a work reported in France around 1150.
He discovered the origin of the false date of Piganiol, refutes the idea that the work served at the baptism of St. Louis, and sees a work of the first half of the 13th century, because of fleur-de-lys which seem to have been added in the 13th or 14th century in Europe.
In 1930, a stylistic analysis by Mehmet Aga Oglu is the first to recognize the baptistry as a work of Syrian workshop, and the date of the first quarter of the 14th century.
Nine years later, at the time of the German invasion, the basin was made safe in the Chambord castle by conservationists John David-Weill and David Storm Rice, who was then in Paris to study.
It has decoration depicting human figures both internally and externally, which is characterized by a great diversity of characters, in their clothing, their physical appearance and their postures.
Rice, this decoration would be oriented along an axis passing through the silver under the rim of the basin and a characteristic armor.
Outside, the decoration occupies the lower part of the basin; it consists of a main register with friezes of characters interrupted by four medallions, bordered by two friezes of running animals, interrupted by four medallions bearing a fleur-de-lys heraldry.
Inside, the decor unfolds in the upper part in the form of a large register decorated with horsemen, interrupted by four medallions: two with a throne scene, two with arms.
The bottom of the basin is also decorated, on the periphery, with a frieze of lancets, and inside a multitude of aquatic animals.
On the other hand, their horses are all harnessed in the same way: a net, a saddle with stirrups, a cover more or less long on the rump, a martingale and ornate buttocks.
The characters on foot, in the same way, are distinguished by the diversity of their postures, their clothing, and their accessories.
Medallions I and III each have in their center a shield left blank until 1821, and then covered with a coat of arms and surrounded by plant motifs where five five-petalled flowers inlaid with gold can be seen.
These standing figures are dressed in a long mantle, and probably received a headdress in the form of a band, disappeared; on their boots are symbols: two dots and a drop.
One of them (medallion II, on the left, bears a mustache, a goatee and dots on the face); the others are hairless.
The face of one of the sovereigns (Medallion II) has disappeared; the other (medallion IV) also has a mustache and goatee, as well as a monobrow.
Between the medallions, four sets of three riders take place: two hunting scenes (I1, I4) and two war scenes (I2, I3).
Subsequently, he creates the next layer of decorative metal by dividing the surface of the basin into divisions, then drawing the figures and foliage.
The final step is coating the bowl with bituminous black material, which enhances the engravings, highlights the contours, and creates contrasts.
This technique appears in Islamic lands in the 12th century, probably in eastern Iran, before spreading quickly to the Syrian world.
The Mamluks, who came to power in 1250, adopted this tradition amd produced works of great luxury in the Bahrite period (1250-1382).
This phenomenon of theft and loss took place mainly at the end of the 14 century, when the precious metals were scarce.
Although coppersmiths appear to sign their work more so than other artisans, they were still considered to be artisans of secondary status, unlikely to attract the attention of their contemporary scholars.
Basins with flared edges had existed since the Ayyubid period: for example, the Arenberg Basin, dated around 1247-1249 and preserved at the Freer Gallery of Art, or the basin in the name of Salih Najm ad-Din Ayyub preserved in the Museum of Islamic Art in Cairo.
With its strongly streamlined profile, angularity, as well as its remarkable dimensions, the Baptistery of Saint Louis moves away from this type.
It belongs to a group of basins of similar shape and size, 50 of which two bear the name of Sultan An-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qala'un, one is dedicated to a Sultan of Yemen and another was made to Hugh IV of Lusignan.
There is another basin also very close in form and decoration, but is unfinished probably because of a technical accident (a crack in the background) and is kept at the LA Mayer Memorial in Jerusalem, and was attributed to Muhammad ibn al-Zayn by Jonathan M. Bloom.
All the frieze animals are traditional species in the arts of middle east: all are found, for example, in the copies of Ibn Bakhtishu's Manafi al-Hayawan.
In particular, the unicorn chasing the elephant is a recurrent theme of Islamic art, which echoes legends reported by al-Jahiz and al-Qazwini in particular; it is found on lustrous tiles in the thirteenth century in Iran and on bas-reliefs in Konya during the same period.
In the same way, the association between the griffin and the sphinx is well established at the time of the creation of the Baptistery.
Only the serpentine dragon could have been a novelty tbat arrived in Egypt with the Mongol invasion; however, they are found in the Syrian zone from the Seljuk period.
Rounds of fish including other animals become a motif according to E. Baer at the beginning of the fourteenth century, as shown by an Iranian brass inlaid metal bowl, dated around 1305.
Several elements would indicate a certain sense of humor on the part of the artist, such as the absurd inscription on the flat, or the presence of a small rabbit represented from the front, for short, which seems to look directly at the viewer.
In Ayyubid metals, as on the Basin of Sultan al-'Adil II signed by al-Dhaki, the foliage - as well as the calligraphy of the signature - are very similar to those on the Baptistery.
The tall-stemmed flowers bearing rows of leaves fare parallel to Baghdad's painting of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, such as the Pseudo-Galian's Book of Antidotes, which dates to 1199.
Brought by the Mongol invasions, the group of metalworks (except those of LA Mayer) have a large number of peony flowers in particular.
The only peonies of the Baptistery are present on a napkin worn by a character, which could demonstrate his Mongol origin.
The five-petalled florets surrounding the blazons in the internal medallions find immediate parallels in the medallions of the other basins in the group.
But the most unusual missing element on the Baptistery is the absence of a large inscription in Thuluth, characteristic of the art of this period.
The other basins of the group, with the exception of that of the L. A. Mayer collection, that are unfinished and undated still have large Thuluth inscriptions.
J. M. Bloom as R. Ward and S. Makariou both note this incongruity; R. Ward and S. Makariou argue it could be due to Christian ownership of the Baptistery.
Most researchers, including DS Rice, agree that some of the scenes depicted specific events, while some elements, such as genuflection, have no equivalent in other Islamic art and might be purely decorative.
However, Rachel Ward argues against this interpretation by pointing out that Mamluks do not have a tradition of portraiture or 'history painting' in their metal art, and that such representation would be inconceivable without an inscription that identifies the scene.
She also believes that looking to date the basin based on the costumes represented is absurd, as Mamluk artists worked more abstractly rather than direct representation.
D. Rice argues, based on the difference in clothing and physical characters of the external friezes, contrasts with the traditional Mamluk costume, that two the basin depicts two distinct groups: panels E1 and E3 depict Turkish emirs and panels E2 and E4 depict Arab servants.
Among the emirs, one could be Salar because of his coat of arms, but because of some of the figures around him, like the huntsman (fahhad), the cheetah, and the falconer (bâzyâr) all associated with emirship.
The medallions with the scenes of throne might have no particular meaning; on the other hand, there would be narrative continuity between the battle scenes, the severed head being that of the character struck in the previous banner.
E. Knauer supports his point by looking at the unusual character of the double coat of arms; he identifies the lion-shaped one at Baybars, and evokes the idea that the tamga-shaped one would be that of the young circumcised, Berke.
For her, each rider in the medallions represents an aspect of the furusiyya, an equestrian art highly valued in the Mamluk period; the entire Baptistery would be an evocation of tournaments (maydân) taking place during ceremonies at the time of Sultan Baybars.
By his identification of Salar as an emissary represented and sponsor of the work, D. S. Rice proposes a date between 1290-1310 .
A stylistic comparison with a bowl kept in the Berlin museum and made for Emir Sumul, companion of Salar, allows him to support his hypothesis.
E. Knauer and D. Behrens-Abouseif, identify the scenes as related to the life of Baybars I, argue for an older dating in the third quarter of the thirteenth century.
On the contrary, R. Ward believes that the Baptistery is an early example of Venetian-Saracenic metal, made in Syria for a European sponsor in the mid-fourteenth century.
According to her; on the contrary, the absence of monumental inscriptions to the titles of a major character shows that this is a work done for a foreign sponsor because it would be labelled if it was meant for local nobility.
In the same way, the signatures and the annexed inscriptions would be only a decorative tool, because they would not have been appreciated by a sponsor unable to read Arabic.
The shield shape that was kept free of metal and the use of the rampant lion flag (the Lusignans symbol) indicates a European sponsor since there were no comparable Islamic symbols.
The dating proposed between 1325 and 1360 is based essentially on the gradual approximation of the age of Baptistery within the group of basins already mentioned, and with a corresponding group of manuscripts made in Damascus between 1334 and 1360.
This hypothesis could be reinforced by the existence, in Damascus, of an iron gate dated 1340–59, which contains the name Muhammad ibn al-Zayn; however, the identification of the author of the Baptistery with that of the grates of Damascus remains questionable, because it would then be a unique example of an unusual artist who worked both iron and brass metal inlay works.

This group contributes to the continuity and development of the Egyptian and regional feminist movement in the Middle East and North Africa.

Through these characters, Speller creates a metaphor for mobility and freedom in the Jim Crow South, which white women, and even some black women, can attain, but are inaccessible to him.
Stripes and grids function as movement from one plane to another, such as from clothes to skin or from inside to outside of a building.
Art historians have drawn a connection between Speller's patterns and African American quilt-making traditions, with their improvised rectangular and square grids.

Franklin v. Gwinnett County Public Schools, 503 U.S. 60 (1992), is a United States Supreme Court Case in which the Court decided, in a unanimous vote, that monetary relief is available under Title IX of the Federal Education Amendments of 1972.
The case arose when Christine Franklin, a sophomore at a high school in Georgia’s Gwinnett County Public School District claimed to be sexually abused by Andrew Hill, her teacher and a coach at the school.
The school district administrators became aware of the situation but decided not to take action and even encouraged Franklin to not proceed in pressing charges.
In result, Franklin decided to sue the Gwinnett School Board for violating the sexual harassment clause of Title IX for the goal of obtaining monetary relief and legal remedy.
While Title IX is most commonly associated with requiring equality among male and female sports, a major component of it describes how schools must deal with sexual harassment complaints.
Franklin believed the school board did not follow these guidelines so she decided to sue in the attempt of getting money in return.
Because the school board was on Hill’s side, they appealed and argued that one can not get monetary relief from Title IX.
In a unanimous, 9-0 decision, the court ruled Franklin could get money because any and all types of relief, in appropriation, are available, in order to fix a violation of a federal right.
After the ruling of the Supreme Court, the money was settled in an out-of-court settlement, of which the results were never disclosed.
Franklin’s argument and the reason she pressed charges was that she believed the Gwinnett school board violated the rights established in Title IX, and she should thus be compensated for damages.
Their reasoning was that Title IX did not authorize monetary awards for damages which the district court and United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit confirmed.
79 days later, on February 26, 1992, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of Franklin where she was rewarded monetary benefits.
A previous case Cannon v. University of Chicago (1979), established that Title IX was enforceable through an implied right of action, so the question became whether or not monetary awards were available for damages in a private action brought to enforce Title IX.
The court’s decision, written by Justice Byron R. White, stated that monetary relief was available under Title IX because it is presumed that violating a federal right calls for the use of appropriate relief as a remedy.
Since the court judged that because the sexual harassment against Franklin was a clear violation of Title IX, had the court not provided remedies for Franklin, Title IX would then be a law that would not award any remedies.
The justices held this opinion under the belief that the application of remedies to expand private rights could lead to problems.
While this case confirmed that someone could receive monetary relief from Title IX, the reasoning behind the decision has a much wider application.

The magazine is launch as National Safety News() in 1919, the publication has always had a special relationship with the National Safety Council Library.
It was opened in 1926, based on a design by architect Frank L. Bodine, and served students up to 8th grade.
The construction of the new school, which commenced in 1925, was funded by the Rosenwald Foundation, local caucasian resident, Reverend Duncan C. Milner, a civil war veteran, who fought at the Battle of Chickamauga and public school funds.
In 1955 a new Milner-Rosenwald school building was built nearby, at 1250 Grant Avenue, which catered for the lower grades, whilst the original school building catered for the upper grades (up to 8th grade).
In 1972, following the end of racial segregation in the Florida education system, the new school was renamed Mount Dora Middle School.
The original school building was used to house the community's first kindergarten, followed by a branch library, local youth center and is currently used by the Head Start program.
In 2009 the building failed to get recognized on the National Register of Historic Places due to early structural alterations to the original large windows.

The Colored Women's League (CWL) of Washington D.C was a woman’s club, organized by a group of African-American women in June 1892, with Mrs. Helen A. Cook as President.
In 1896, the Colored Women's League and the Federation of Afro-American Women merged to form the National Association of Colored Women (NACW), with Mary Church Terrell as the first president.
In June 1892, a group of several prominent black women in Washington D.C. met together to discuss creating a club devoted to improving the conditions of black children, women and the urban poor.
Some of these women were Anna Julia Cooper, Helen A. Cook, Mary Church Terrell, Ida B. Bailey, Charlotte Forten Grimké, Mary Jane Peterson, and Evelyn Shaw.
The Colored Women's League was a coalition of 113 organizations, and the goal of national unity was at the forefront of the club's objectives.
In a letter written in 1894 to The Women's Era, the first national newspaper published by and for African American women, Cook reported a few accomplishments of the league.
These included: hosting a series of public lectures for girls at local high schools and Howard University, raising $1,935 towards a home for the league, creating classes for German, English Literature, and hygiene, and establishing a sewing school and mending bureau with 88 students and ten teachers.
According to historian Fannie Barrier Williams, this organization had the largest membership of any African American women's club in the country.
Although the primary goal of the CWL was national unity for colored women, this goal was not reached until July 21, 1896 when the National Association of Colored Women was formed as a result of the merging of the Colored Women's League and the Federation of Afro-American Women.
The Colored Women's League initially declined to join the National Federation of Afro-American Women because President Cook did not have the authority to commit the league.
Ruffin's appeal was composed in response to an editorial published by a Southern white journalist, in which the author ridiculed the moral character of black women.
To combat the widespread influence of negative stereotypes of black women, Margaret Murray Washington, the president of the National Federation of Afro-American Women and Helen A. Cook began making plans to discuss consolidating their two organizations.
After the merger of the Colored Women's League and the National Federation of Afro-American Women, Mary Church Terrell was named the first president of the newly formed National Association of Colored Women.
Both organizations, the Colored Women's League and the Federation of Afro-American Women, had similar objectives in mind: advancing the conditions for black women, children, and underprivileged.
The biggest factor contributing to this rivalry was the debate about which organization was the first to be officially recognized as a national organization.
Eventually, at the age of thirty-three and pregnant, Mary Church Terrell of the Colored Women's League was named the first president of the NACW.
Nevertheless, the success of the CWL inspired other black women became aware of the possibility of creating a united front for themselves and created their own clubs.
On July 21, 1896, the Colored Women’s League merged with the National Federation of Afro-American Women to form the National League of Colored Women.

The Old Ones (sometimes referred to in Palladium Books publications as the Great Old Ones or the Unnameable Beings) are a fictional race of Alien Intelligences within the megaversal setting of Palladium Books' game module PFRPG.
The Old Ones are the most powerful forces ever to have existed in the various Palladium game settings, and their power dwarfs that of 'ordinary' Alien Intelligences, beings which are in general far more powerful than the gods themselves.
The Old Ones' creator, Kevin Siembieda, named them so as an homage to the fictional characters of the same name by H. P. Lovecraft.
Despite their origins in Palladium Fantasy—the first and oldest of Palladium Books' Game Settings—they are hated and feared throughout the different dimensions of the Palladium Megaverse by those beings who remember them, even those beings who have great power and are evil themselves.
The Old Ones' physical and mental natures were such that to pass the time (and to feed themselves), they each seized upon a specific aspect of pain and suffering to study, psychically feeding on the emotions and suffering that would follow.
For example, Ya-blik was the symbol of pestilence, betrayal, and pain, and would spread pestilence and foment those dark emotions where they did not already exist.
And Xy, greatest amongst their number, was the Great Old One of Power Incarnate, and fed upon the chaos and suffering brought by the other Old Ones as they conquered planets, galaxies, and entire dimensions in his name.
Instead, they were put into an eternal mystic slumber and hidden away between dimensions beyond the reach of all but the most powerful gods and (good) Alien Intelligences.
Constant vigilance and effort is required to keep these beings asleep, and various members of the Great Powers of the Palladium Megaverse cooperate with one another to ensure that they never again awaken.
The leader of the Old Ones is/was a Great Old One once called Xy who, through a series of circumstances and betrayal, forgot his own past and now believes himself to be Thoth, the ancient Egyptian god of Wisdom.
It was he, as Thoth, who helped to fashion the super-spell that would finally force the Old Ones into mystic slumber.
These beings are each said to have millions of points of Mega Damage Capacity Rifts (role-playing game)#Damage and firepower, powerful enough to inflict many thousands of Mega Damage points per attack, and are believed to be capable of destroying entire dimensions unaided.
The Old Ones are mystically confined and kept asleep in an intradimensional void inaccessible to all in the Megaverse except a very tiny handful of ultra-powerful beings, and are effectively indestructible).
Nxla's status is questionable, however, as some believe him to be an Old One who tricked his way out of punishment, and others believe this to be lies spread by Nxla to create fear.
The Old Ones were sufficiently powerful enough to keep legions of lesser Alien Intelligences, Gods, and even dragons -usually solitary, vastly powerful creatures in their own right that call no one master -as servants and slaves.
Xy has been given stats twice (Rifts World Book 4: Africa and Palladium Fantasy: Dragons and Gods) however this is only at a fraction of his former power as Thoth.
The other 7 Greatest Old Ones originally had their stats printed on the final (210th) page of Old Ones 1st Edition.
These stats were removed in the 2nd Edition version of the book, and the GOOs were not included in Dragons and Gods, so their abilities (much like the beings in the Ultimax Deathstone) have not been increased to 2nd Edition levels like the rest of the first edition Gods, Dragon Gods, Demon Lords and Devil Lords.

Shamash-eriba rebelled against the Persian king Xerxes I in the summer of 482 BC, proclaiming himself King of Babylon and King of the Lands.
A previous Babylonian revolt against Xerxes by the rebel leader Bel-shimanni had been defeated relatively quickly, but the Persian response to Shamash-eriba's insurrection was slow.
Although no concrete evidence exists of retribution against the city after it was successfully retaken, classical sources suggest that Babylon was punished severely for the revolt.
It is possible that the statue of Marduk, which represented the physical manifestation of Babylon's patron deity Marduk, was removed by Xerxes from Babylon's main temple, the Esagila, at this time.

According to the World Bank, Brazil is labeled as an upper middle income country with a current GDP of $1.869 Trillion as of the year of 2018.
Brazil experienced a period of economic and social progress between 2003 and 2014, when more than 29 million people left poverty and inequality declined significantly.
The income level of the poorest 40% of the population increased by an average of 7.1% (in real terms) between 2003 and 2014, compared to a 4.4% increase in income for the population as a whole.
Brazil is the largest country in the LAC region (8.52 million square kilometers), with a GNI per capita of US$14,810 and with a population of 207 million (2016).
A favorable external environment, credit-fueled consumption, an expanding labor force and an expansion of social programs contributed to fast economic and social progress between 2001 and 2015.
During 2012-2015, Brazil was one of the largest borrowers of the World Bank Group, with a total of US$17.5 billion invested during these four years.
After 2015, with the onset of the economic crisis and given limited fiscal space for new investments, IBRD lending has declined to around US$500 million per year and the program has shifted instead on building the knowledge foundations for supporting an adjustment in Brazil's growth model and in the World Bank's engagement to support it.
There was a significant contraction in economic activity in 2015 and 2016, with the GDP dropping by 3.6% and 3.4% (respectively).
The economic crisis was a result of falling commodity prices and the country's limited ability to carry out necessary fiscal reforms at all levels of government, thus undermining consumer and investor confidence.
Brazil has had a slow growth in the last two years with a small 1.1% growth in GDP in 2017 and 1.3% growth in 2018.
Brazil became a member of the World Bank on January 14, 1946, with its first project starting in the late 1940s.
The Power and Telephone Project has the joint objectives of developing hydroelectric power generation and telephone services, including long-distance services, in the highly industrialized and populated areas of Brazil.
Throughout the rest of the 20th century, the majority of projects have been over sustainability of infrastructure in poor and rural areas.
As climate change, deforestation and other more recent alarming world events have taken place over the past 50 years, more and more projects are oriented towards conservation and renewable energy efforts.
To address the dynamics of unsustainable debt, the government has enacted Constitutional Amendment 95/2016, which limits the rise of public spending.
In order to support the strengthening of the fiscal management at all levels of government, it is important to sustain the structure of the institutional and legal systems that control the public finance sector.
And it will work with federal and sub national governments to increase effectiveness of services delivery in education and in health.
Underlying all the World Bank's objectives is the aim to ensure that the ongoing fiscal adjustment is of high quality and does not fall disproportionately on the poor and bottom 40%, whilst laying the necessary foundation for a sustainable recovery.
The Bank will work with the federal government to achieve implementation of the expenditure rule as a means to achieve fiscal adjustment and restore fiscal sustainability at the federal level, through a reduction in federal government primary expenditures in real terms.
To achieve this indicator the Bank will support the federal government to rationalize public expenditures and to strengthen fiscal management, including through the programmatic Brazil Expenditure Review and Strengthening Governance in Infrastructure, and will also support the government to restore the financial sustainability of the social security system.
The social safety net programs existent in Brazil lack much governmental funding and support thus increasing the vulnerability of those that depend on it for care packages and housing.
Many of the people on the list to receive these program benefits are large family households who don't have enough jobs to support the whole family, and a large portion of them are single mother households.
The bank aims to support funding for these programs such as the Bolsa Familia that helps provide care package food and housing for people in need.
That allocation of resources to these programs help them become more agile and efficient in effectively covering the most people in need and provide them the basic resources to live well and safe conditioned lives for them and their families.
To lower the high rate of drop outs in the public education in secondary school, the World Bank wants to provide support in the development of the educational department in Brazil's ministry of education to facilitate the growth in opportunities for children in low income areas.
Their investment will continue to support selected sub national governments in the introduction of new methods of public sector management to improve education outcomes which are expected to improve average learning scores for math and Portuguese.
The Bank will work to improve the effectiveness of health services delivery through ongoing interventions at the sub national level which will contribute to reduce premature mortality rate from the main Non-Transmissible Chronic Diseases in selected states and will contribute to improve system efficiency by reducing the percentage of hospitalization for ambulatory care sensitive conditions in selected states.
The World Bank will provide financial investment and technical assistance to the federal government to support the implementation of a wide-ranging program of reforms to improve the business environment and to sub national governments as part of ongoing operations.
The World Bank has an integrated approach to building resilience of communities, ecosystems and production systems, which recognizes issues of sustainability and social inclusion as closely related.
The World Bank works to support the government in fostering more equitable economic growth, social inclusion, and efficient use of resources, focusing on interventions related to land tenure and territorial development (at national, regional and city level), management of natural resources and biodiversity, climate change mitigation and adaptation, deforestation, land degradation, and water scarcity issues.
The World Bank also supports management of natural resources in a sustainable way, combining conservation with the promotion of local and regional economic development, as well as to work with the federal and state governments to sustain the low carbon emissions trajectory in agriculture and land use to which Brazil has committed to by supporting farm holdings in the adoption of landscape management and/or sustainable agricultural practices.
The most pressing issue in our current decade is the emerging problem of climate change, deforestation and preservation of the natural ambient and fauna.
In Brazil, the World Bank works effectively with the preservation of the Amazon Rain forest and the sustainable cohabitation of those that use its vegetation and land.
The land already used for farming and agricultural practice is also an area invested on for development, sustainability, and expansion prevention into already protected areas.
To improve access, management and efficiency of water and sanitation services in cities, the World Bank invest in the physical and institutional infrastructure to attain greater resilience to the increased variability of water supply while also focusing on pricing policies to ensure that water charges reflect provision costs.
The support from the World Bank will be embedded in the broader context of water resource management and protection of scarce water resources.The Bank's engagement in the water sector will continue, including at the water basin level, focused on improved water resource management, inter-stakeholder coordination, utility governance, regulation and critical investments.
There are several sanitary problems with the water supply in poor areas in Brazil, especially with the conditions to which still water sources that sit above buildings are primary places where mosquito that carry the Dengue Fever or other deadly diseases reproduce.
The investment from the world bank also focuses on maintaining sanitary conditions of water supply for urban and suburban areas with emphasis on reducing the liability of still water and mosquito infestation.
With current events of diseases carried by mosquitoes such as the Zika Virus caused much panic over Latin America and contagion prevention.
The vast majority of the active projects are water resource sustainability projects and land management and development projects in urban, suburban and rural areas.
Rural development is a sector that the World Bank deeply invests upon, with intentions to sustain economic growth and competitiveness for small farm owners and promote sustainability of land use and up to date irrigation systems.
Because of Brazil's abundant amount of fertile land and unquantifiable amount of natural resources, Brazil is one of the biggest world exporters of products such as meat.
Although Brazil is a country that runs off the agricultural industry, that does not impede from the monopolization of the market and concentration of profit from a few privatized companies.
This causes a hardship for many small family farmers that do not have the resources to produce exorbitant amounts of produce with as much exporting power as the bigger and more dominant companies.
The state of Santa Catarina received a $90 million loan from the World Bank to invest in increasing the competitiveness of family farming.
Through the project, households will have access to capital, technical assistance and incentives for technological innovation, increased productivity and quality, diversification and access.
To this end, some infrastructure investments are also made, such as the rehabilitation of 800 miles of roads in rural areas.
This project with the state of Santa Catarina is an example of the type of work the World Bank does in rural areas with sustainable land use, rural farm production and competitiveness and development.
Reusable energy and technological infrastructural work for the agricultural department is something that benefits job opportunities and facilitates a boost in the industry, inevitably creating economic growth and regional development.
It is the single most naturally diverse part of the planet and at the expense of agriculture and deforestation, thousands of acres are chopped down every year.
Despite many NGOs pushing for policy change, conservation and federal funding for the preservation of the rain forest, the agriculture and mining industry constantly chops down the rain forest for resources such as wood or for land used for agriculture.
The largest industries in agriculture that mostly contribute to the resistance to conservation are the cattle industry and products such as soy.
The world bank has assisted Brazil in the funding of many projects lead by governmental and non governmental agencies to help spread the conservation efforts.
The purpose of this project is to facilitate the funding for preservation efforts of the rain forest, and to cultivate a sustainable infrastructure to cohabitate with the native vegetation and allow for its restoration and cultivation.This project wants to expand and protect over 60 million Hectares of preserved forest area, especially those bordering agricultural areas and cities.
The third part most invested on is on financing resources for the forestry and public landscape sectors to maintain the stability and efforts of the project.
The World Bank has also investment millions of dollars in preserving the environment and contributing towards the funding for the infrastructural development for efficient and safe use of land without harming people and their access to food and resources.
Brazil being one of the largest users of the World Bank, there is a strong economic reliance on the institution and its aid in providing Brazil, with its dense population and infrastructural obstacles, the necessary help to maintain its development as economic disparity, poverty, and lack of opportunity continue to grow.
The lack in growth of productivity, government funding for public services and programs, and the structural development in the departments of social services leads to a big difficulty in achieving and optimizing the effectiveness of the programs lead by the World Bank.
Although these challenges are prominent and the lack of regulations and enforcement occur, the World Bank works hand in hand with the government to try to reduce the ripple of corruption and the offset challenges of deterioration of the societal infrastructure and services.
Fiscal imbalance is the biggest issue in Brazil and causes a disproportionate amount of disparity of opportunity for the population especially the bottom 40%.
With that, the World Bank tries to enforce its influence on policy, private investment, and reduction of corporate monopoly and gains.

Leo Nickerson Elementary School is a dual-track school in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, and is a part of St. Albert Public Schools.
It was named after Leo Nickerson, a St. Albert cub scout leader who lost his life in an attempt to rescue several scouts who had been caught in the water during a sudden storm.
As of the 2019-2020 school year, Leo Nickerson offers two tracks for students to participate in: The English Program, and the French Immersion Program.
Previously, the school offered a third track, the Logos Christian program, but provision of the track was centralized at Joseph M. Demko School when it opened in 2019.
The school offers both half and full days in the Kindergarten program, a program designed to introduce children of at least age five to the basic skills required for Grade 1.
Leo Nickerson Elementary School held its first classes for around 225 students on September 1, 1964 following an opening ceremony on June 24 of that same year.
The ceremony featured the laying of the cornerstone by Sylvia Nickerson, the widow of Leo Nickerson, who the school was named after.
Leo Nickerson was a cub scout leader who had died during a scout outing at Wabamun Lake on July 14, 1961.
Leo Nickerson was the first and for some time only school in St. Albert to have a PTA, or Parent Teacher Association.
The group was formed in 1967, and replaced the Home and School Association, an organization of parents from various schools in St. Albert that was formed in 1964.
The new PTA held meet the teacher nights, science fairs, various demonstrations and campaigns, and purchased supplies for use in the school.
Joseph Garber, the school's first principal, and his wife Thelma, a teacher at the school, resigned from their positions amid controversy in 1969.
In late March, a group of parents met at a board meeting to express their concerns over the excessive use and types of corporal punishment used in the school.
It was also said that there had been reports of swearing and derogatory comments made by the teachers toward the students.
The parents suggested that Garber's replacement come from outside of the staff at Leo Nickerson, and that the new administrator be instated immediately so that he could become familiar with the school and adequately prepare for the next school year.
The letter followed by saying the board had been concerned about the climate at the school for some time, and that it would accept Garber's resignation.
The production of a remedial report was assigned to Muriel Martin, supervisor of elementary education, and future namesake of Muriel Martin Elementary School.
Citing privacy concerns, the board decided that the report would not be made public, as it contained comments about some staff members.
Some of the suggestions in the report were that activities periods be discontinued in favour of Language Arts, that there be a minor reshuffling of teacher roles, and that a school philosophy be developed.
The house system allowed for both assistance among students within the same house, as well as friendly competition between the houses.
A statue of Leo Nickerson was unveiled at the ribbon cutting ceremony; the ribbon was cut by his widow Sylvia, who had attended the school's opening in 1964.
Multiple schools in the district hosted the program until it was consolidated under one school at Joseph M. Demko school when it opened in the fall of 2019.
The school celebrated its 50th anniversary on June 14th, 2014 and the event was marked by the painting of a mural and the laying of a memorial plaque, which was placed with the cornerstone that was laid by Sylvia Nickerson when the school first opened.
She is the Edward J. and Louise W. Kahn Term Professor of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania, and is also affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania Population Studies Center, the Human Capital and Equal Opportunity Global Working Group (HCEO), the IZA Institute of Labor Economics and the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Todd is a fellow of the Econometric Society (2009), the Society of Labor Economists (2010), and the International Association for Applied Econometrics.
Petra Todd is an empirical economist with research contributions in the area of labor economics, economics of education, development, econometrics, criminology and demography.
She is best known for her work on program evaluation methods, which develops methods for evaluating the effects of interventions in education and training using both experimental and nonexperimental data.
These statistics/econometric techniques are often used to evaluate the impact of Active Labor Market programs, which are government programs that provide education, training and incentives for unemployed or out of labor force workers to gain employment.
In developing country settings, the methods are often used to evaluate the effectiveness of anti-poverty programs, such as conditional cash transfer programs.
RD is a quasi-experimental design where there is a variable and a cut-off value that wholly or partly determines treatment assignment.
One of the earliest papers on the use of RD methods in economics is , which develops new nonparametric estimators and shows that RD has an interpretation of a local average treatment effect in a heterogeneous treatment effects setting.
Other topics in her work concerns reducing structural inequality in education, particularly in developing countries, through an educational policy that aims at improving the education of the least-well-served students.
In particular she has studied the effects of programs like that provide cash incentives for poor families to send their children to school.
She was an expert consultant in designing the Mexican Progresa experiment (later called Oportunidades) that randomized 506 rural villages in or out of a conditional transfer program.
Experimental evidence on the effectiveness of Progresa in increasing schooling and improving health was important to the adoption of similar anti-poverty programs in more than 60 countries around the world .
Petra Todd also played a key role in the design of the ALI experiment in Mexico that randomized 88 high schools to a student and teacher incentive program that paid for improvement on mathematics curriculum tests.
The program impacts are analyzed in and the data are used to study the determinants of educational performance in Todd and Wolpin (2018).
observed that African-American motorists were more than three times as likely as other motorists to be stopped and searched by Maryland police, but had drugs found in the search with the same likelihood as other motorists.
Todd and her coauthors argued from this data that African-Americans had a higher propensity than others to carry drugs, that the greater number of stops were causing them to carry drugs less often, and that the equal rate of drugs found (rather than an even lower rate for African-Americans than others) was evidence that the police were not being racist in their more frequent stops.
In recent research, Petra Todd uses dynamic discrete choice structural modeling methods for predicting the impacts of programs that do not yet exist, which is very useful at the stage of designing a new social program or in considering changes to an existing program.
Todd also some recent published papers that analyze the role of personality traits in educational and working decisions and in time allocation of husbands and wives.

The Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) is the Australian state of Queensland's government body responsible for the management of geoscience knowledge.
GSQ collects geoscience data either from industry - mining companies compels by legislation to report certain activities - or directly through its own surveys and then shares that information, sometimes after embargo periods, to enable potential investors a better understanding of the resource potential of Queensland.
The GSQ works closely with Australia's equivalent national government agency, Geoscience Australia, to ensure that data collected/generated by either agency is interoperable since resource potential may cross state borders.
GSQ is also involved with international efforts to standardise the reporting and representation of geoscience information, particularly through Semantic Web-based initiatives such as the ESIP Federation's Semantic Web for Earth and Environmental Terminology (SWEET) Ontologies project which operates an integrated ontology used to model a wide range of geological (and many other) scientific concepts.
Through its current Geoscience Data Mondernisation Program (GDMP), GSQ intends to greatly increase the proportion of its data holdings that it makes publicly available from the current 10% to 90%, by 2021.
This program is thought, by GSQ staff, to position GSQ at the cutting edge of government public data delivery both amongst Australia government organisations and its geological survey agency peers internationally.

The Chief of Space Operations is typically the highest-ranking officer on active duty in the Space Force unless the Chairman or the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are Space Force officers.
The Chief of Space Operations is an administrative position based in the Pentagon, and while they do not have operational command authority over Space Force forces, the Chief of Space Operations does exercise supervision of Space Force units and organizations as the designee of the Secretary of the Air Force.
The post of Chief of Space Operations was created along with the United States Space Force with the National Defense Authorization Act signed by President Donald Trump on 20 December 2019.
General John W. Raymond, the commander of US Space Command and Air Force Space Command, was announced as the first chief of space operations on that same day.
Under the authority, direction and control of the Secretary of the Air Force, the Chief of Space Operations presides over the Office of the Chief of Space Operations, acts as the Secretary's executive agent in carrying out approved plans, and exercises supervision over organizations and members of the Space Force as determined by the Secretary.
The Chief of Space Operations may also perform other duties as assigned by either the President, the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of the Air Force.
Like the other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the CSO is an administrative position, with no operational command authority over Space Force forces.
Oscar Seborer (June 4, 1921 – April 23, 2015), codenamed Godsend, was an atomic spy for the Soviet Union who worked at the Clinton Engineer Works in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico.
Oscar Seborer was born in New York City on June 4, 1921, youngest child of Jewish Polish immigrants Abraham Seborer, a clerk, and Jennie (Scheine) Chanover.
Max's first wife Rita Beigel was the sister of Rose Beigel Arenal, the second wife of Leopoldo Arenal, the brother of artist Luis Arenal Bastar.
After Rose's death, Max married Celia Posen, who had served as a nurse with the Abraham Lincoln Battalion during the Spanish Civil War, and was friends with Harry Magdoff, Irving Kaplan and Stanley Graze.
Noah was close to Frederick Vanderbilt Field, Maurice Halperin and Albert Maltz, a screenwriter who later became one of the blacklisted Hollywood Ten.
Oscar was drafted into the Army in 1942, but due to his special training he was assigned to the Special Engineer Detachment (SED), a program that identified enlisted personnel with special technical or scientific skills, and put them to work on the Manhattan Project, the effort to build an atomic bomb.
He was assigned to the Clinton Engineer Works in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and then to the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico.
He was present at the Trinity nuclear test on July 16, 1945, with a group measuring the seismological effect of the explosion.
Stuart was discharged from the Army in 1946, but continued to work for it in a civilian capacity with the Civil Affairs Division in Europe.
He wrote a report on economic progress in Bizone, Germany in 1949, and one on the Army's education program the following year.
Stuart's wife Miriam graduated from George Washington University Medical School that year, but when he applied for a job at the State Department, he was told that he would not be granted the necessary security clearance.
After he graduated in August 1948, he took a job at the US Navy's Underwater Sound Laboratory in New London, Connecticut, where research on sonar for submarines was conducted.
In August 1949, the commanding officer recommended his termination as a security risk, but on August 29 a review board overturned this decision.
He was transferred to the Electronic Shore Division of the Bureau of Ships, where he was involved in the installation of electronic equipment in American and European harbors.
They then flew to Israel, where they visited Abraham and Jennie, who had re-emigrated in August 1950 and were living in Gan Yavne.
Since Klaus Fuchs was also known to be a Soviet spy, there were at least four Soviet agents at Los Alamos.
From 1946 to 1954, it was published by the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic (LSSR) Soviet Writers' Union and the Board of Artistic Affairs.

Isabel Bueso (born Maria Isabel Bueso Barrera) is a Guatemalan woman with Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome living in the United States under deferred action.
In 2003, when she was seven years old, she and her family moved to the Bay Area so that Bueso could participate in a clinical research trial for a treatment for Morquio A syndrome at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital.
In 2018, she graduated from California State University East Bay, where she had majored in sociology and had been involved in disability advocacy.
Because of deferred action, Bueso and her family were allowed to stay in the United States so that she could continue getting lifesaving treatment at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital.
When the Trump administration rescinded that program in August 2019, Bueso and her family were told they had 33 days to leave the country and return to Guatemala, even though the treatment Bueso requires is not available there.
UCSF Benioff staff held a rally in support of Bueso, and Congressman Mark DeSaulnier introduced a private bill that would give Bueso and her family immigrant visas.
Citizenship and Immigration Services reversed the decision and said they would continue to review deferred action requests on a case-by-case basis.

Claude Douglas Cairns (June 1, 1914 – July 6, 1985) was an American politician who served as the 31st Mayor of Burlington, Vermont.
His mayoral victory in 1957 ended eighteen years of Democratic control of Burlington's mayoralty since Republican Louis Fenner Dow left office in 1939.
In 1932 he graduated from the Chauncey Hall Preparatory School and received a degree in chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1936.
From 1941 to his honorary discharge in 1945 he served in the United States Navy on board the USS Block Island in the Atlantic.
On February 18, 1957 he was given the mayoral nomination and on March 5 defeated incumbent Democratic Mayor John Edward Moran with 4,053 votes to 3,830 votes.
On January 28, 1958 he stated that he would not run for congress, but on April 30 he changed his decision and announced that he would run in the Republican primary for the House of Representatives and went on to lose the primary to former Governor Harold J. Arthur.
During his tenure as mayor he attempted to have a nuclear reactor built in Burlington and went to the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, but nothing came of it and attempted to add support for a national sales tax to the 1958 Republican national platform.
On February 2, 1959 he announced that he would not to seek reelection and would instead run for alderman again and easily defeated Arthur J. Lambert with 1,434 votes to 856 votes.
In 1964 he ran for one of Chittenden County's five state senate seats, but came in seventh place out ten candidates.
During the 1964 campaign he was an early supporter of Barry Goldwater and served as chairman and member of the Vermont delegation to the national convention in support of Goldwater although the delegates were officially uncommitted.
He also ran Barry Goldwater's campaign in Vermont in 1964 and served as both his vice chairman of his campaign in Vermont and national campaign's chairman in 1964.
Late into the campaign he led an effort to block the Citizens Party from giving its nomination and extra ballot access line to Lyndon B. Johnson.

The Republic of Zimbabwe (formerly South Rhodesia {1911-1964}, Rhodesia {1964-1979}, and Zimbabwe Rhodesia {1979-1980}), is a landlocked country locked in the southern region of Africa.
Upon gaining independence in 1980, the new regime (under Robert Mugabe), sought to replace many of the institutions established by the previous white rule.
Many of the new regime's actions, like land reform and involvement in The Democratic Republic of the Congo's civil war, have been the source of the state's economic failure.
The World Bank group, currently, estimates that extreme poverty has risen from 29% to 34% from 2018-2019 (4.7 million to 5.7 million).
The production of food was weakened by an El Niño induced drought, as well as Cyclone Idai affecting 3 sectors that accounted for 30% of Zimbabwe's agricultural production.
As a result, the World Bank estimates that one out of every ten rural households are going without food for an entire day.
Current World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund involvement is done in hope that the government can adjust their fiscal practices in order to alleviate the cost its citizens are paying.
Due to non-payment of arrears, lending was suspended after 2000, but the World Bank has remained involved using non-lending instruments and trust funds.
The World Bank has created several trust funds for Zimbabwe including: The Zimbabwe Reconstruction Fund (ZIMREF), the Zimbabwe Analytical Multi-Donor Trust Fund, the Multi-Donor Health Results Innovation Trust Fund-Global Financing Facility (HIRTF-GFF), the State and Peace-Building Fund, the Global Environmental Facility Trust Fund, and Cooperation in International Water.
The Global Financing Facility also supports results-based financing, in rural and urban areas, to improve the health sector as well as maternal and child health in Zimbabwe.
The international lending picture, since 2015, updated by the World Bank Group in 2019, shows that Zimbabwe had received $0 in 2015, $53 million in 2016, $2 million in 2017, $5 million in 2018, and has received $3 million in 2019.
As of June 2019, 800,000 women have received professional health care, and 817,000 and a total of 911,677 children have completed their immunizations due to the projects in the health sector.
Regular quality and care assessments take place, and they are averaging a score of 85% when they were previously seeing results in the 75% range.
The World Banks effort in implementing fiscal practice workshops for government ministries, has extended from 3 ministries to 22 ministries and all local authorities necessary.
Other areas of improvement would include: The education component (awaiting the finalization of the Teaching Professions Bill), the corporate sector (enhancing corporate transparency and accountability), poverty monitoring (updated and refined the Poverty Income Consumption and Expenditure Survey; creating data systems that can process micro-data), and the Procurement Project (Modernization of procurement laws and the development of government procurement strategies).
The Procurement Project was set in motion on June 3rd, 2019, and reporting has been enhanced, as well as improved coverage of internal audit in Central Government with 87% of the audit work plan completed.
This page covers birth defects and injuries related to the craniofacial region, the mechanisms behind the regeneration, the medical application of these processes, and the scientific research conducted on this specific regeneration.
This can occur during surgery, where doctors fracture the face of a patient in order to correct craniofacial abnormalities such as cleft lip, Apert syndrome, Treacher Collins syndrome, Oligodontia, Cherubism, Crouzon syndrome, Pfeiffer Syndrome, Craniosynostosis, or Goldenhar Syndrome.
Craniofacial defects are most common congenitally (present at birth), with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 700 live births (270,000 children per year).
Common corrective procedures include intracranial surgeries (making room for brain growth through skull expansion), Cleft palate surgeries (repairing a gap in the roof of the mouth), and Cleft lip surgeries (closing a gap in the lips).
Most patients who suffer from craniofacial abnormalities have a normal life expectancy, but symptoms are often present throughout the patient’s life.
Common symptoms and features of a craniofacial defect include abnormal cranial morphology, difficulty in cranio-related functions such as breathing, hearing, swallowing, or speech, or facial paralysis.
Mesenchymal stem cell research has yielded the most promising results for craniofacial regeneration, as MSCs can be found in many types of postnatal tissues, including orofacial tissues.
While there is a lack of craniofacial-specific clinical trials regarding stem cell therapies, there has been great effort in identifying craniofacial-specific stem cell populations, precursor cells that can give rise to many specific structures of the skull.
Such stem cells include bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSC), adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMCs), muscle satellite cells (MuSCs), periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous (SHED teeth).
In 1994, it was demonstrated that when BMMSCs were grown in culture with dexamethasone, ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, and inorganic phosphate, they differentiated into functional osteoblast-like cells.
Developments in BMMSCs application to bone repair have nonetheless been proven successful in many animal models including canines, mice, and sheep.
In 2014, George K. Sándor performed a small size clinical trial (n = 13) on patients with craniomaxillofacial defects where AMCs were transplanted with scaffolds of either bioactive glass or β-tricalcium phosphate in an attempt to reconstruct the defect.
β-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds are characterized by their porous three-dimensional synthetic scaffold structures that stimulate growth, migration, and differentiation in human cells leading to bone reparation.
This study saw 10 out of the 13 patients successfully integrate the AMCs and scaffolds.In 2017, the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded $24 million to two centers focused on craniofacial disease and injury research.
The process of regeneration is initiated by an inflammatory response to injury, followed by angiogenesis, leading to mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation.
The exact reasoning behind the limit on inflammation needed for bone regeneration is not completely understood in the context of immune responses.
It has been shown that angiogenesis is highly dependent upon extracellular and inflammatory signals such as cytokines, proteases, and growth factors.
It has been shown that osteoblasts that originate from vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling play a crucial role for the development of new bone during regeneration.
In addition, VEGF is necessary for a specific bone regeneration pathway called intramembranous ossification, where mesenchymal tissue is directed towards bone formation.
Many primary literature papers have demonstrated that a loss-of-function experiment against VEGF in the osteoblast precursors significantly reduces ossification in craniofacial bone structures, highlighting the essential role of VEGF in craniofacial regeneration.
Bone regeneration in adults appears to mimic bone development during embryogenesis, except for the requirement of inflammation to initiate the regenerative process.
Some of these cells differentiate, creating membranous ossification (bone tissue formation) while some committed osteoprogenitor cells from the periosteum (type of osteogenic tissue) and undifferentiated multipotent MSC from the bone marrow lead to callus formation, which aids in fracture healing.
This is known as Wolff’s law, which essentially states that bone remodeling occurs to counter and adapt to loads placed upon it.
Human MSCs have been shown to differentiate with a cocktail of dexamethasone, isobutyl methyl xanthine, insulin and rosiglitazone (a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ2 (PPAR-γ2) agonist) in vitro.
Fibroblasts proliferate in this area, arising from marrow cells with fibroblastic potential.From the 1st to the 3rd week following injury, regenerated bone begins to fill in the gap between the two bony fragments.
While there is not currently much modern medicine can do for these patients, the cutting edge of care is now nerve grafting.
To avoid denervation caused by lack of stimulus, surgery should be done as soon as possible; however, it is often difficult to determine if a patient will recover naturally or whether nerve grafting is required.
This works through providing nerve signaling distal to the site of injury, helping the regenerating nerve to find the correct path.
More than half of patients (57%) of patients who receive nerve grafts showed signs of nerve function within 6 months of receiving a graft.
Current approaches to craniofacial research are spearheaded by a branch of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, named the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR).
Developmental biologists have been reported to use laser capture microdissection and fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) to create an array of genes involved in craniofacial development.
For example, using Cre-recombinase, an enzyme which makes specific cuts in the genome, researchers were able to knockout the expression of Sp8, a gene hypothesized to be essential for face development.
In the resulting mouse model, it was observed that facial development was significantly impaired, yet a tongue and a mandible were present (see image).
These injuries happen predominantly in young males, often as a result of traffic accidents which result in 22% of all craniofacial trauma.
Following serious injury resulting in airway blockage, the standard of care is to intubate, which involves inserting a flexible tube into the trachea to maintain airflow, followed by immediate surgical intervention (41% of injuries).
Head injuries often coincide with craniofacial trauma, extradural hematoma (bleeding in between the skull and the dura mater), and subdural hematomas (bleeding between the dura mater and the brain).
Injury to the skull included fractures of frontal bone (20.15% of injuries), sphenoid bone (11.63% of injuries), orbital roof (13.18% of injuries), and fracture of cribriform and ethmoid bone complex (13.18%) with associated cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea.
Patients can also suffer from hypoplasia of the mandible, cleft palate, lower eyelid coloboma, microtia, atresia of the ear canal, and hearing loss.
Aesthetic surgery is also common following tumor resections, where plastic surgeons correct soft tissue or bone misalignments that occurred due to the removal of a tumor.
These procedures can involve bone grafts from the pelvis or ribs to replace removed bone and implantation of titanium plates and screws to hold pieces of bone together.
The 2021 NHL Winter Classic is an upcoming outdoor regular season National Hockey League (NHL) game, part of the Winter Classic series that is scheduled for January 1, 2021.
The league had previously contemplated Target Field as a host for a Winter Classic game, touring the stadium both in 2018 and 2019, and observing how the area hosted the 2019 NCAA Final Four.
This will be the Wild's second outdoor game after hosting the 2016 NHL Stadium Series against the Chicago Blackhawks at TCF Bank Stadium.
The game will be broadcast by NBC; it is the last Winter Classic in the network's broadcast contract, which expires at the end of the 2020–21 season.

A lecturer for 8 years at the UCM, Gil Pecharromán was appointed as senior lecturer of Contemporary History at the National University of Distance Education (UNED) in 1987.
Gilbert Rodman (July 21, 1748 - August 21, 1830) was a prominent resident of Bucks County, Pennsylvania who served in the American Revolutionary War.
Gilbert Rodman was born to Quakers William Rodman (May 5, 1720 - January 30, 1794) and Mary Reeve in Bensalem, Pennsylvania on July 21, 1748.
Fellow Quakers attempted to talk him out of violating the Quaker beliefs against war, but he was reported to be unwilling to condemn the war in repeated visits by various church members.
In January 1778, Rodman allowed an encampment of American troops on his land based on a letter to General George Washington from Brigadier General John Lacey, Jr.
He made his home on the 360-acre Warwick farm until 1808 when he sold it to the Bucks County government as a space to build an almshouse for the poor.
At that time, Rodman relocated to the Bensalem area, closer to his in-laws and other family until the end of his life.
Rodman was the father to 11 children with wife Sarah Gibbs whom he married on June 3, 1784 at Christ Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
After his death in 1830, Rodman was buried with his wife and daughter in the Gibbs Burial Ground in Eddington, Pennsylvania.
He appears to have started his career as a cinematographer around 1918, although he left Los Angeles for a time while serving in World War I, working as an army photographer in Siberia.
He married Joyce Burns, a Busby Berkeley dancing girl, and the pair had a son, Lew, together, who became a sound editor in the film industry.
The season saw 138 Australian rules footballers make their senior VFL debut and six players transferring to new clubs having previously played in the 1897 VFL season.

The park is a triangular piece or gore for which provides the name of park bounded by James Street South, two separate sections of King Street East and John Street.
The park emerged in 1850 on what was once part of the Crown land grant to John Askin to create a public place in downtown Hamilton.
Edward Roche (April 10, 1754 - April 6, 1821) was an American merchant who served in both houses of the Delaware General Assembly, as a delegate to the Delaware state constitutional convention, and in the American Revolutionary War.
He left Ireland at age 14 and arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he reportedly became an apprentice with a local merchant.
On April 1, 1782, he married Eliza Brinckle in Red Lion Hundred, Delaware; the couple would go on to have nine children.
The Delaware men were reported to have fought at the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, and Monmouth, as well as served during the encampment at Valley Forge.
However, Roche makes no mention of these battles or encampment in his pension application, nor does he appear on the digitized muster roll from Valley Forge.
Roche remained in his roles with the regiment as they began their march to join the Southern Campaign on April 16, 1780.
During the Battle of Camden on August 16, 1780, he became one of 47 prisoners of war from his regiment taken by the British forces.
Upon his return to Delaware after the War, Roche started over in business, met and married his wife, and started a family.
In February 1800, Roche was selected by the society to deliver an oration on the death of George Washington at Second Presbyterian Church in Wilmington.
His membership certificate signed by George Washington is currently in the collection of the Tennessee Historical Society, a donation likely made by his descendants who relocated to Nashville in the 1800s.
He was then elected to serve in the first legislative session under the new state constitution in 1792 as a member of the state House of Representatives after a failed bid for the United States Congress.
Following his short state political career, Roche was appointed as a Notary on April 18, 1800, a position he held for approximately 20 years.
Around this time, he was also commissioned as a Justice of Peace, another position he held for many years until around the time of his death.
In 1818, Eliza Roche died, and Edward went to live with two of his adult daughters who would help him raise the daughters of his deceased son.
Roche applied for his pension for time served as an officer in the Revolutionary War at this time, and he was awarded $20 per month.
He appealed the decision based on small overall value of items owned and lack of assurance in future income from appointments as a Notary and Justice of the Peace.
The California Department of Financial Information System for California (FI$Cal) is a state government agency in the California Government Operations Agency of the executive branch of the government of California.
In July 2016, the California Department of Financial Information System for California (FI$Cal) was formally recognized as a new state of California department.
Dundalk entered the 1932–33 season on the back of a fourth place finish in the League and a fifth place finish in the Shield the previous season.
1932–33 was manager Steve Wright's third season at the club, and was Dundalk's 7th consecutive season in the top tier of Irish football.
After Dundalk had finished as runners-up in both league and FAI Cup in 1930–31, the club's management committee had invested heavily in the side the following season.
They won their first trophy as a senior club - the LFA President's Cup, and had looked like landing the league title, until an end of season slump saw them slip to fourth place.
That, and a first round FAI Cup exit, had contributed to a poor financial position by the end of the season, and the team had been broken up.
As the number of teams in the League had been reduced to ten, both the League and the Shield were played on an 18-match double round-robin basis.
They opened up a three point lead after the fifth match, in large part due to a solid defence that had conceded only two goals to date.
They continued to lead from the front and, despite dropping three points with the title in sight, they won it with a game to spare by defeating Bohemians in Dalymount Park.
Their final match at home to St James's Gate was delayed while the Gate players lined up to congratulate Dundalk captain, Gerry McCourt, in front of a huge cheering crowd.
In becoming Champions, they were the first team from outside Dublin or Belfast to win a league title in Ireland since the inception of the Irish League in 1890.
Christmas and New Year had a sobering effect on the celebrations, with defeat in the opening Shield match and an exit in the first round of the FAI Cup to Dolphin after a replay.
They got back in their stride, however, to reel off seven straight wins, and were still top of the Shield table after 12 matches.
They won their final three matches, but it wasn't enough, and they finished two points behind Shamrock Rovers – points dropped to the bottom two sides Bray Unknowns and Cork Bohemians ultimately costing them.
Having just missed out on a League and Shield Double, they wouldn't win the League again until 1962–63, while they wouldn't win the Shield until 1966–67.
The pathogen was initially discovered to be coincidentally associated with symptoms of pecan fungal leaf scorch in 1998 and has subsequently been found to be endemic in the southeastern United States, as well as Arizona, California, and New Mexico.
These symptoms can be confined to the leaves on one side of a shoot and may be present on all or some of the leaflets.
There are other causes of similar symptoms, such as pecan scorch mites and drought stress, thus a laboratory analysis is recommended when diagnosing the disease.
Thus far, three leafhoppers and two spittlebugs have been shown capable of transmitting the bacteria to pecan, with glassy-winged sharpshooters and adult pecan spittlebugs believed to be the primary vectors responsible for its spread.
The primary management strategy for disease mitigation is to ensure that new orchards are planted with non-infected plants, in order to reduce the initial inoculum that can be spread by insect vectors.
This can be facilitated by closely examining nursery trees the summer before transplanting, to confirm that they are asymptomatic for the disease.
Additionally, a hot water treatment of the scion material just prior to grafting, has been demonstrated to eliminate the pathogen with a 97% success rate.
Given the delayed nature of symptom development, this practice is recommended to reduce the odds of inadvertent graft transmission of the bacteria.
In the event of symptom development in an orchard, infected trees can have limbs and branches pruned to eliminate the disease.
Known insect vectors can be monitored through yellow sticky cards or traps, and when populations are sufficiently high, insecticide sprays can be commenced to reduce the chance of disease spread.
Lim Yi Wei (Chinese: 林怡威; pinyin: Lín yí wēi; born 27 November 1989) is a Malaysian politician from the Democratic Action Party (DAP), one of the four component parties of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition.
She is currently the assembly woman of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly for Kampung Tunku constituency in the state of Selangor.
Lim is the eldest of 3 children born to Lim Chin Chye, a retired lecturer at Institut Perguruan (IPG) Sultan Abdul Halim, Sungai Petani, and Wong Wai Ping, a retired teacher SK La Salle, Ipoh.
Lim completed her primary education at SK Marian Convent, Ipoh and her secondary education at SMK (P) Methodist Ipoh before taking the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) at SMK Methodist (ACS) Ipoh.
She graduated from the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (HKUST) with a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Finance on a scholarship sponsored by Kerry Holdings Ltd. As an international student representative in the HKUST Business School Undergraduate Representatives’ Committee, she helped establish the Business Cohort Community (BCC) to help integrate freshmen into the varsity community.
Her portfolio included two brands: Waterstechnology, covering financial technology and data for capital markets; and Risk.net, covering risk management, derivatives and regulation.

Lim also pioneered the first Asia Pacific blockchain training course for capital markets players, Blockchain Bootcamp, held in Singapore in May 2016.
Despite having left Incisive for Malaysian politics by then, the bootcamp has been replicated in Hong Kong and Sydney, with a subsequent Blockchain Applications workshop held in Singapore in March 2017.
She began her political career as the political secretary of Tony Pua, then MP of Petaling Jaya Utara (now renamed Damansara) and DAP National Publicity Secretary.
She actively campaigned in the 2016 Sarawak State Elections for the Bukit Goram state seat, as well as the 2016 Sungai Besar by-elections.
She won the seat with a majority of 30,444 votes, beating MCA’s Tan Gim Tuan as well as becoming Kampung Tunku’s first female representative.
Despite being an ethnic Chinese politician, she was posted to the Malay-majority Jelai state constituency and stationed in FELDA Sungai Koyan 3.
Issues brought by Lim through speeches, writing and programmes as well in the State Assembly include: mental health, youth and women empowerment, civic education, national unity, and culture.
Lim is a strong supporter of local cultural efforts such as the awardwinning SK Kampung Tunku Pawana Tari traditional dance team and the Khuan Loke Dragon & Lion Dance Association, which originates from Sungai Way New Village.
Lim is currently supporting the Selangor Rugby Union (Malay: Kesatuan Ragbi Selangor; KRS) women’s team and the national women’s rugby team through contributing funds and raising awareness about women’s rugby.

Borracho beans can be served wrapped in tortillas with some form of grilled beef such as carne asada, eaten from a bowl much like chili, or used as a bean dip and eaten with tortilla chips.
The beans are soaked overnight, drained, then dark beer is added along with bacon, bacon drippings, and other spices (cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, powdered or whole chili peppers) and enough water to cover the beans by a few inches, then cooked in a covered pot for 2-3 hours until the beans are tender.
Southern Texas borracho bean recipes may include diced tomatoes added to the broth, and Mexican recipes often include the spice epazote.
Walnuts are not a native species to California, where Franciscan Fathers first introduced the English walnut around the 1770s from South America to California.
, walnuts from California account for 99% of all walnuts grown in the United States, and for 38% of the world's production of walnuts.
The first walnut orchard to be planted in California was in 1856, by Ozro W. Childs, in what is now the center of Los Angeles.
William Wolfskill, who is considered the founder of the first commercial orange orchards in California, also planted hard-shell English walnuts in the Los Angeles Area.
Other early walnut growers of both hard- and soft-shell varieties include Russell Heath, Frank E. Kellogg and William Huston Nash, and W. E. Stuart.
In the winter of 1869, Joseph Sexton planted the first known commercial walnut orchard in Goleta, California, after purchasing a bag of English walnuts in San Francisco that he was told were from Chile or China, no one knows for certain.
Around the same time in 1870, Felix Gillet, a nurseryman in Nevada City, California, was importing scion wood and nursery stock from France.
He grafted and budded the French cultivars for commercial use and used a selection program for his seed to cultivate new varieties of walnuts suited for California.
Many of the varieties of the walnuts grown in California were introduced by Gillet and Sexton; out of 35 varieties, the 7 varieties they introduced from seedlings and selections make up 82 percent of total walnut acreage.
From 1879 to 1885, Luther Burbank conducted the first walnut breeding experiments, observing that walnut species easily fertilized with each other.
Growers eventually accepted that the Paradox hybrids had superior attributes being more vigorous and disease resistant to crown and root rot.
A modern-day variety of walnuts grown California is the Serr walnut, developed by UC Davis professors Eugene F. Serr and Harold I. Forde.
From 1945-1968, their extensive walnut-breeding program created seedlings which exhibited desirable traits such early production, moderate tree vigor, pest and disease tolerance, and high nut quality.
The rapid increase in acres planted to walnut and lack of organization resulted in prices fluctuations and buyers unfairly competing with one another for commissions.
In 1933, the Walnut Marketing Board was formed under the Agricultural Adjustment Act, to oversee quality control and marketing of the walnut in California.
To emphasize its role in managing the walnut market, the Walnut Control Board changed its name in 1962 to the Walnut Marketing Board.
The commission differs from the Walnut Marketing Board, which by a federal order is responsible for standards, statistics, crop estimates, research, and domestic marketing.
As a result of the trade war between the United States and China, farmers in California received about $76.3 million in federal subsidy payments from USDA, where some of the subsidies were received by walnut farmers.
Over the past ten years, as production has increased, total acreage used in the production of walnuts has increased along with it; in a USDA report, walnut-bearing acreage in California grew 53 percent from 218,000 acres in 2007, to 335,000 acres.
Yield per acre also increased, from 1.50 tons per acre in 2007 to 1.87 tons per acre in 2017, an increase of about 25 percent.
The largest importers of California walnuts were the European Union, Japan, Turkey, and South Korea; the European Union imported the most walnut, with 36% of all walnuts exported.
In 2018, exports to India, the 8th largest importer of California walnuts, declined after as a result of weakness in the Indian rupee, and after a 100% import tariff was levied on the crop, up from 30.9%.
In September 2019, a trade deal was reached between the United States and Japan, reducing and eliminating tariffs on key agricultural goods.
The deal announced a reduction of tariffs on U.S. wine, tomato paste and beef, while completely eliminating tariffs on almonds and walnuts.
Walnuts have been significantly affected by trade disputes, facing high tariffs in China and Turkey, losing an estimated $700 million as a result.
In order to produce walnuts in California, multiple factors must be taken into account in order for orchards to be success.
One study by the University of California, Davis, sets out specific guidelines on and the costs associated with establishing an orchard and producing walnuts.
For instance, as a result of new legislature passed by the State of California, companies with more than 25 employees are to pay their laborers $11 per hour starting in 2018, and increase hourly wages each year buy $1 until the minimum wage is $15 per hour.
Machine operating costs also determine the cost of production, where diesel gasoline is subject to a 13 percent state sales tax, as well as regular gasoline, which is subject to a 10.17 percent tax.
The cost of property insurance is calculated as 0.846 percent of the average value of the orchard's assets over their useful life.
Liability insurance, which ensures that an orchard is able to pay a legal obligation for liability damages, is estimated to be $810 for the entire orchard.
Crop insurance is necessary, as well; available to walnut growers, this insures against unavoidable loss of production, damage or poor quality resulting from adverse weather condition.
Polynésie La Première (), also known as Polynésie la 1ère, is a French public television channel based in Faa'a which broadcasts in French Polynesia.
In return for the installation of nuclear testing center in Mururoa in French Polynesia, the General de Gaulle promised to provide free Polynesian television.
In 1963, the implementation of television transmitters was launched and RTF headquarters on Dumont D'Urville Street in Papeete was enlarged in 1964 to accommodate the new ORTF television studios.
Since October 3, 1965, the first TV Tahiti images have been broadcast from the small studio of 45 m2 of the station and can be received from around Papeete to the part of Moorea in front of Tahiti.
The channel then broadcasts three hours a day programs from metropolitan France six months late and national newsletters from the previous week.
A few years later, with the introduction of new relay transmitters, a local newscast is broadcast every day of the week.
Following the break-up of the ORTF in 1974, the French overseas television stations were integrated into the new French national program company France Regions 3 (FR3), the new French channel of the regions, within France of the FR3 DOM-TOM delegation.
The channel became FR3-Tahiti on January 6, 1975 and, like each regional metropolitan station, produced and broadcast a regional newscast, but was also responsible for ensuring territorial continuity in the audiovisual field by broadcasting programs from metropolitan television channels.
The transition to color took place in the course of the year 1977, at the same time as the first satellite link with Paris.
The December 31, 1982, the channel took the name of RFO Tahiti following the creation of the national company of programs RFO (French Overseas Radio-Television) by transfer of the activities of FR3 for Overseas.
Its missions remain unchanged, but the new structure has its own budget that should allow it to move from the role of broadcaster to that of program producer.
During the following sixteen years, RFO Tahiti gradually acquired quality technical equipment to produce and broadcast more and more regional programs.
In March 1988, the channel was broadcast by satellite to reach all French Polynesia, and in May, a second radio channel called RFO 2, was launched while the first television channel was renamed RFO 1.
On December 26, 1994, RFO 1 saw its monopoly crumble and faced competition from Canal+ Polynesia, which was setting up in French Polynesia, followed on February 14, 1995 by the bouquet of private and pay programs Téléfenua, and then by the French Polynesia government chain Tahiti Nui TV on June 29, 2000.
At the end of 2000, by decision of the trusteeship, RFO lost the broadcasting rights of TF1 sports broadcasters, in favor of Tahiti Nui TV.
While it was possible for all Polynesians to receive TV channels New Caledonia, TV Wallis and Futuna, Tempo Caledonia and France O thanks to the satellite Intelsat 701 and RFO since 2003, Télé Polynesia and France Télévisions decided to encrypt Télé Nouvelle Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna TV on the territory of French Polynesia from June 1, 2010.
2004-669 of July 9, 2004 integrated the program company Réseau France Outre-mer into the public broadcaster France Télévisions, which depends on Télé Polynesia.
Its president, Rémy Pflimlin , announced on October 12, 2010 the change of name of the Network France Overseas in Network Overseas 1 rd to adapt to the launch of DTT in Overseas.
All television channels on the network changed their name on November 30, 2010 at the start of TNT and Tele Polynesia became Polynésie La Première.
The name change refers to the leading position of this channel on its broadcasting territory and its first place on the remote control and its numbering in coherence with the other antennas of the group France Televisions.
Télé Polynesia thus broadcast a program consisting of three hours per day of own productions in French and Tahitian giving priority to proximity, programs from other RFO stations (information, magazines RFO Paris), but reruns or recovery live from the programs of the France Télévisions group (news, magazines, sports, fiction, games, movies, entertainment and youth programs), Arte and independent producers.
Since 30 November 2010 and the arrival of metropolitan public channels, Polynésie 1ère had to increase its own productions, with 25% of local programs and more, giving priority to proximity and addressing economic and social problems of the territory (emissions special events, political debates, recording of shows, football matches, midnight mass, Telethon).
The channel is now free to choose its own programs and, thanks to the increased budget it enjoys, it has the necessary means to produce, co-produce and buy.
The possibility of taking back certain programs from France Télévisions channels is still possible and the major sports events, in particular football, rugby, tennis, cycling are now all broadcast live from Paris.

Miss Universe Philippines is a beauty pageant competition and organization in the Philippines that selects the country's representative to the Miss Universe pageant, one of the Big Four international beauty pageants.
The current Miss Universe Philippines is Gazini Ganados who was crowned on June 9, 2019 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City.
In 2019, the Miss Universe franchise in the Philippines, previously held by Binibining Pilipinas, was granted to a new organizing body headed by national director Shamcey Supsup-Lee, which paved the way for the creation of the new Miss Universe Philippines Organization.
The new organization is tasked to hold a separate standalone pageant in the selection of the future Miss Universe Philippines titleholders from 2020 onwards.
Prior to Miss Universe Philippines, the title was awarded through Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. through the Binibining Pilipinas pageant from 1964 to 2019.
In 1969, Gloria Diaz was the first ever Filipina to wear the Miss Universe crown, followed by Margarita Moran in 1973.
Since 2010, the Philippines currently holds the longest ongoing streak of placements at the Miss Universe competition, with 10 consecutive years.
Control over Mosul as a city central to trade between China, the Mediterranean, Anatolia, and Mesopotamia was contested between the Zengids and the Ayyubid sultan, Saladin, throughout the early acquisitions of the Ayyubid Sultanate in Syria and Iraq after the decline of Fatimid rule.
The second is because it would be too difficult to move all of the heavy equipment necessary for casting from one rural location to the next.
There were three main inlay innovations that are believed to have originated in Mosul in the thirteenth century- gold inlays, black inlay, and background scrolls inlaid with silver.
Mosul was a great textile industry during the same period that they were producing these inlaid objects and they happened to specialize in reproductions of Chinese silks.
It is speculated that many of the traditional metalwork designs were heavily influenced or even direct copies of these silk reproductions.
Historically, many scholars have argued that the Mongol sack of Mosul led to the demise of the luxury metalworking industry, however modern scholarship and an abundance of evidence disproves this.
For example, it is known that Mosul metalworkers received an imperial commission by Il-Khan Abu Sa'id in the last years of the Ilkanate.
Not only did Mosul continue to produce elaborate inlaid objects after the Mongol sack, they also altered their traditional stylistic choices to coalesce with Mongol taste.
There was a new emphasis on minuscule style, the figures represented reflect the Ilkanhid fashion of the period, and they started to put more emphasis on pattern over figuration.
Within the section of metalwork with signatures twenty-seven out of the thirty-five state themselves as 'al- Mawsili', and out of those eight state their provenance, through the name of the people for which they were created along with statements declaring their engenderment within Mosul.
Some notable scholars that have helped shape the basis of this study include: Joseph Toussaint Reinaud, Henri Lavoix, Gaston Migeon, Max Van Berchem, Mehmed Aga-Oglu, David Storm Rice.
In the early years of Mosul Metalwork, around 1828, Joseph Toussaint Reinaud, published a collection that included the first item to clearly state it's creation in Mosul, the 'Blacas ewer', an artifact consistently scrutinized by scholars when exploring Mosul style.
Then in 1860's the credibility of Mosul was being questioned by scholars, it was during that century that Henry Lavoix declared that Damascus, Aleppo, Mosul, and Egypt all created inlaid metalwork, but specifically singled out Mosul as a source for a unique style unseen throughout the medium.
A critical point in the scholarship came in the beginning of the 20th, through Gaston Migeon, whose claims over the precedency of Mosul caused objection and an urgency for reliability.
Present day, Mosul Metalwork is still elusive, and lacks a sustaining amount of scholarship, but scholars continue to construct a field that utilizes substantiated evidence through designs, inscription, and other items engendered specifically in Mosul around the 13th century.
An example of this is represented in an article written by Ruba Kana' An who utilizes its iconography and description to construct the argument stating the Freer Ewer as one of many metalworks constructed in Mosul.
As a member of Team Canada, Durepos competed in five Paralympic Games where he won 3 gold medals along with one silver.
After suffering from a spinal cord injury due to a motorcycle crash in 1988, he lost the use of his legs.
In the following years, he joined the National Wheelchair Basketball Association where he led the Milwaukee Bucks to a Final Four Championship title in 2002 and became the first Canadian to be named MVP in Division I of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association.
While still a member of the Canada National Team, Durepos was named MVP back-to-back at the Canadian National Championships in 2006 and 2007.
It began on 22 November 2019 at the Dubai Autodrome, United Arab Emirates, and is scheduled to finish on February 16 2020 at the Madras Motor Race Track in Chennai, India.

Ricquier has been a member of the French Academy of Sciences since 2002, and a professor of biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Paris Descartes since 2003.
Ricquier is a university professor and hospital practitioner at faculté́ of medicine at the University of Paris-Descartes, and at the Necker-Enfants malades Hospital, since 2003.
His work has contribué́ to identify a family of proteins involved in mitochondrial respiration, ATP yield, heat production and mitochondrial control of the level of cellular oxygenated free radicals.
Ricquier described in 1976 a mitochondrial membrane protein specific for brown adipocytes, later named UCP (uncoupling protein) and identified by David Nicholls as the protein responsible for heat energy dissipation.
Having isolated antibodies specific to this protein, he demonstrated brown adipocytes in neonates and adult patients and demonstrated that the sympathetic nervous system controls the development of brown adipose tissue and the synthesis of DCS in animals and humans.
With Fréderic Bouillaud, in 1984 and in collaboration with Jean Weissenbach at the Pasteur Institute, he isolated and sequenced the complementary DNA of the UCP and the UCP gene from rodents and humans.
He also identified a new cerebral mitochondrial transporter, BMCP, an avian UCP and a renal mitochondrial transporter KMCP and contributed to the identification of the first plant UCP protein.
He was able to obtain mice without the UCP2 gene, demonstrating the essential role of this gene in innate immunity and the limitation of free radical levels, particularly in macrophages in collaboration with Denis Richard at Laval University.
Applications of the work include metabolic diseases (obesity, diabetes), nutrition, degenerative diseases and autoimmune diseases involving oxygenated free radicals in atherosclerosis and neurodegeneration.
Pierre-Joseph Witdoeck, also known as Petrus Josephus Witdoeck (4 January 1803, Antwerp - 16 October 1889, Tournai) was a Belgian painter and architect.
He was the son of Franciscus Donatus Witdoeck (1766-1834), a painter and professor of architecture at the Royal Academy, who gave him his first lessons.
This was followed by an appointment as the City Architect of Turnhout, where he also founded and directed a design academy.
Rebekka Elisabeth Ziska Dahl (born 20 August 1996) is a danish martial artist who represents her native country Denmark in sport jujitsu (JJIF).
Pieter Koenraad (6 June 1890 - 22 February 1968) was a Dutch Naval Officer, the Rear-Admiral of naval forces in the Dutch East Indies between 1943 and 1946, during World War II.
Before the Japanese invasion of the Dutch East Indies, he was the flag officer in command of the important naval base at Soerabaja.
He served first in the Dutch West Indies and then alternately between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies, both on shore and on board ships.
In the East, he became successively commander of a torpedo boat hunter, then commander of the Oedjong Naval Barracks near Soerabaja, and finally commander of a division of torpedo boat hunters.
He realised the invasion of Java was just a matter of time, and started to prepare the evacuation of naval personnel to Ceylon or Australia.
Koenraad and his staff embarked on the submarine K-XII, which made it to Australia safely in March 1942, and from there he left for England.
with headquarters in Melbourne, from 1 May 1943 to 1 October 1945; until November 1943 he was also Deputy Commander of Dutch East Indies Armed Forces.
From 6 October 1945 to 21 January 1946, Koenraad continued his task as the Acting Commander of the Navy in the Dutch East Indies, with its headquarters in Batavia.
Although Koenraad was not a particularly powerful military figure, in March 1942, during the evacuation of the navy from the Dutch East Indies, he acted independently and responsively, so that he and his naval staff were able to evade capture by the Japanese.
In Australia his task was mostly administrative; the operational command over the Dutch naval units present being overseen by the Americans.
The lack of communication with the Commander of the Dutch East Indies Armed Forces, Vice-admiral Helfrich in Colombo (Ceylon) did not facilitate his task.
However Koenraad did not lack personal courage; more than once he participated in flights from Australia to the occupied Dutch East Indies.
The camp is operated by the Republic of Singapore Air Force and located on Lim Chu Kang Road opposite Choa Chu Kang Cemetery.

The cabinet consists of a coalition formed by the Social Democratic Party, the Centre Party, the Green League, the Left Alliance, and the Swedish People's Party.
At the start of its tenure, there will be a total of 19 ministers in Marin Cabinet: seven ministers from the Social Democratic Party, five ministers from the Centre Party, three from the Green League, and two each from the Left Alliance and Swedish People's Party.
The new leader of the Centre Party, Katri Kulmuni, was promoted from Minister of Economic Affairs to Minister of Finance, a position which carries significant veto power over government finances, switching places with Mika Lintilä.
Sirpa Paatero, previously responsible for local government and ownership steering, was readmitted into the government despite her resignation from the Rinne Cabinet just days before.
Tuula Haatainen took over as Minister of Employment from Timo Harakka, while Harakka was given Sanna Marin's former portfolio of Minister of Transport and Communications.
On 11 December 2019, all opposition parties filed a motion leading to a vote of no-confidence over repatriation of Finnish women and children from the Syrian Al-Hawl refugee camp.
The motion follows criticism over the evasive statements on the issue by the government and the accusations that the Minister of Foreign Affairs Pekka Haavisto had supplied inaccurate information to the Parliament.
Haavisto had rejected assertions that detailed plans existed to bring Finnish citizens home, while Finnish national broadcasting company Yle broke news about official documents stating otherwise.
Haavisto was also accused of pushing through a plan to bring the children back to Finland without their mothers' consent by sidelining a top ministry official in the process.
On the following day, 10 MPs filed a notion to the Constitutional Law Committee to request an inspection into the actions of Haavisto.
The cyclone of 1929 (also known as the Great Leith flood of 1929) was an unnamed tropical cyclone that struck New Zealand in mid-March 1929 causing widespread flooding and destruction.
The cyclone brought high winds to the northeast of the country, causing extensive damage in the Bay of Plenty on 18 March, before bringing heavy rain to coastal Canterbury and Otago, causing Dunedin's worst-ever flood.
Crops were inundated in several parts of the region, and the South Island Main Trunk Railway was washed out south of Glenavy.
Minor flooding occurred around the Kawarau Gorge and Cromwell, and several small creeks in the area became torrents, washing out roads, and severe damage was also caused to roads around Milton.
Rail and other communication links were badly affected, with a railway worker killed as a result of the weather at Salisbury in the Taieri Gorge.
The Water of Leith changed course, scouring out a new channel (part of which had been an earlier course of the river).
In the southern part of the urban area, 100 houses were flooded from Cargill's Corner to Caversham, with the most badly affected area being around Kensington.
The engine of a goods train from Ranfurly did not stop in time to avoid a washout in the Taieri Gorge.
As a result of the storm, the lower reaches of the Water of Leith have now been contained within concrete channels, and the flow is controlled by several small weirs, notably just to the north of Woodhaugh Gardens and at the George Street bridge.
There has been extensive ongoing flood protection going on since 2013, which is still ongoing, most recently resulting in the extensive closure of the Dundas St bridge.
In 2013 he finally left Vålerenga for a spell in Lyn, which became the start of a journeyman career, spending between a half and two seasons in Ull/Kisa, Oppsal, Follo, Ullern and Ørn-Horten.

The Rural Representative elections are the quadrennial elections to elect the rural representatives which consist of the village representatives and kaifong representatives in the New Territories.
The rural representatives are responsible for electing the executive committees of their respective rural committees in which to elect the members of the Heung Yee Kuk.
The previous electoral systems for a village or a group of villages came up around the end of World War II, in which they were conducted privately on a clan basis.
All the candidates and electors were the indigenous inhabitants, ie person who could establish their patrilineal descent from a resident of a village that was in existence before the 1898 Convention for the Extension of Hong Kong Territory.
Chan was denied the right to vote even though he married an indigenous inhabitants while Tse was denied the right to stand.
The cases were eventually heard by the Court of Final Appeal in December 2000, which ruled that the electoral arrangements were inconsistent with the Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance while those in Po Toi O were also inconsistent with the Sex Discrimination Ordinance.
In the proposal, the election would be held in a electoral system of two types of village representatives which represent both the indigenous and non-indigenous inhabitants.
576) was later renamed as Rural Representative Election Ordinance in 2014, which created a new type of kaifong representative which only were introduced in Cheung Chau and Peng Chau Rural Committee of the Islands District, for the electing non-village representatives to reflect views on local affairs on behalf of Cheung Chau and Peng Chau residents.
Indigenous inhabitants are returned by the elector of indigenous inhabitants which have the exclusive power to deal with all affairs relating to traditional rights and interests of the indigenous villages, while resident representatives are to reflect view on behalf of the non-indigenous residents.
Kaifong representatives only exist in Cheung Chau and Peng Chau which are elected by the market towns of the respective areas.

Hailing from Dublin, California, Damonte is one of the few domestic mid laners to have recently competed in North America's LCS, alongside other players like Pobelter.
From July 2016 to June 2017, he played as the mid laner for Delta Fox, Echo Fox's academy team competing in the Challenger Series.
Damonte made his LCS debut in May 2017, after he was promoted to a starting position in Echo Fox's main roster.
However, he was moved back to the academy roster in December 2017, before once again being promoted to the main roster in July 2018 following a brief suspension for poor behaviour in online ranked matches.
In November 2018 it was announced that Clutch Gaming had signed Damonte to a two-year contract to complete its starting roster for the 2019 spring split.
Initially seeing disappointing results with a ninth place finish in the 2019 LCS Spring regular season, Damonte and his teammates made a comeback in the summer split after replacing Piglet with Cody Sun in the bot lane.
The team first secured a spot in the summer playoffs after defeating the Golden Guardians in a determining match, then they defeated TSM in the quarterfinals, before losing to Team Liquid in the semifinals.
Due to being reverse swept by CLG in the third-place decider match, Clutch Gaming was forced to begin in the first round of the regional qualifier for the 2019 World Championship.
After defeating FlyQuest, CLG and TSM in the first, second and third rounds respectively, Damonte qualified for his first World Championship, alongside his teammates.
At the 2019 World Championship, Clutch Gaming began in the play-in stage as North America's third seed, only qualifying for the main event after defeating Turkish team Royal Youth in the second round of the play-in stage.
However, in November 2019 Damonte announced that Dignitas had decided not to exercise the second year option stipulated under his original contract with Clutch Gaming (which Dignitas had acquired), and that he had been released from the team.

State Road 998 (SR 998) is an east–west road in Homestead, Florida, connecting the southern terminus of SR 997 with U.S. Route 1 (US 1).
The road, known locally as Campbell Drive, North 8th Street and Southwest 312th Street runs just over and serves as a truck bypass around downtown Homestead.
SR 998 starts at the intersection of Campbell Road and Krome Avenue (SR 997 north/CR 997 south) and heads east, crossing the South Miami-Dade Busway, and ending at South Dixie Highway (US 1).
SR 998 was created in 2019 as part of a road swap between the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the county of Miami-Dade as part of FDOT's Krome Avenue widening project.
Since the portion of former SR 997 on Krome Avenue passes through a portion of downtown Homestead that could not accommodate a road widening, the state relinquished the highway to the county in exchange for Campbell Road entering the state highway system.
A total of 80 teams will compete in the first stage to decide forty places in the second stage of the 2020 Copa do Brasil.

The White AM armoured car (officially the Automitrailleuse White or abbreviated as the White AM) was a French First World War armoured car that was built on a commercial American White Motor Company truck chassis with armoured bodies supplied by the French firm Ségur & Lorfeuvre, it was used by the French military from its introduction in 1915.
Between the wars the French military completely rebuilt the vehicles as the White-Laffly AMD 50 and the White-Laffly AMD 80, in these guises it served until at least 1943.
The White AM consisted of a turreted armoured car built upon imported American White truck chassis, with the armoured bodywork built and fitted in France, later vehicles were built upon locally manufactured White truck chassis.
The layout was similar to other armoured cars of the period with a front mounted engine, driver and co-driver in the centre behind the engine with the turret immediately behind the drivers, a set of duplicated rear facing driver's controls were at the rear of the hull to allow the vehicle to safely be driven backwards at speed.
The White AM's armoured hull had a maximum armour thickness of , it comprised approximately 30 armoured panels bolted onto a rigid steel frame and provided full over head protection for the crew.
The fully enclosed turret housed a 37mm Puteaux SA 18 gun and an 8mm Hotchkiss M1914 machine gun, unusually the two weapons were at opposite sides of turret, in service this arrangement proved difficult for the gunner compared to a coaxial arrangement.
The chassis was 4x2 rear wheel driven with leaf springs and doubled wheels at the rear, its 4-cylinder petrol engine delivered for a maximum speed of , it had a maximum range of .
The new chassis had a more powerful Laffly 4-cylinder engine delivering which gave an increased maximum speed of and increased range of , the vehicle retained the original turret with the 37 mm main armament, whilst the machine gun was substituted for a 7.5 mm FM 24/29 still in the rear facing position.
Again the original White chassis was replaced with a new Laffly LC2 chassis, this chassis featured a more powerful again Laffly 4-cylinder engine delivering which gave an further increased maximum speed of and range of .
The White-Laffly AMD 80 also had a new turret which mounted a 13.2 mm Hotchkiss M1929 heavy machine gun, a coaxial 7.5 mm FM 24/29 machine gun and a second FM 24/29 mounted at the rear of the turret.
In 1915 the French imported bare White Motor Company trucks chassis from the United States for which the French firm Ségur & Lorfeuvre designed, manufactured and fitted armoured hulls locally, the designers were able to draw upon lesson learnt from the earlier Renault and Peugeot armoured cars, the White combining the two weapons from the two variants of the Peugeot into the one turret.
In 1915 the Western Front had bogged down in trench warfare and there was little use in French service for armoured cars, so production was suspended.
In the late 1920s the original White chassis were deemed to be completely worn out, but the armoured bodywork was seen to be in good condition so in 1927 and 1928 designs were drawn up to replace the chassis.
The first prototype White-Laffly AMD 50 (AMD standing for Auto-Mitrailleuse de Découverte) was delivered in 1931 and 98 examples were upgraded, despite retaining none of the original White chassis the name White was retained to indicate the vehicle's origins.
It was soon determined that a further upgrade was required and so in 1933 the first White-Laffly AMD 80 was delivered, in total 28 examples were produced before the French Army switched procurement to the completely new Panhard 178.
By 1918 the French Army considered the White AM to be their best and most useful armoured car design and they were used extensively on the Western Front.
From 1937 both the White-Laffly AMD 50 and White-Laffly AMD 80 had been replaced in continental French service by the Panhard 178 and they were predominantly relegated to France's overseas territories, by May 1940 AMD 50s could be found in Algeria, Tunisia, Indochina and Lebanon although 13 remained in Metropolitan France, whilst all remaining AMD 80s were in French North Africa.
The Metropolitan French examples were captured by the invading German forces and were briefly used by the Wehrmacht to train personnel.
The vehicles in North Africa continued in service until at least 1943 when the remaining vehicles belonging to the Free French Forces were replaced by American M8 Greyhounds.
Andrea Morello (born 26 June 1972, in Pinerolo, Italy), is the Scientia Professor of quantum engineering in the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications at the University of New South Wales, and a Program Manager in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (CQC2T).
His research career began at the Grenoble High Magnetic Field Laboratory where he investigated the magnetic phase diagram of high formula_1 superconductors.
He obtained his PhD in experimental physics from the Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory in Leiden in 2004, during which he explored the quantum dynamics of molecular nanomagnets at low temperatures.
Morello's research is primarily focused on designing and building the basic components of a quantum computer using the spins of single atoms in silicon.
His team were the first in the world to demonstrate the coherent control and readout of the electron and nuclear spin of an individual phosphorus atom in silicon, and for many years they held the record for the longest quantum memory time for a single qubit in the solid state (35.6 seconds) .
He has produced a series of YouTube videos 'The Quantum Around You' and 'Quantum Computing Concepts' to bring the fundamental concepts of quantum physics to a wider audience.
Morello also starred in a series of videos produced by YouTuber Derek Muller on his channel Veritasium, explaining the fundamental concepts of quantum computing, with the highest viewed video in this series being watched over 3.4 million times.
Antoine Triller, born on 23 May 1952, is research director at the Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale (Inserm).
In Jean Scherrer's laboratory, he turned to neurophysiology and initiated research work on inhibitory synapses with Henri Korn, a specialist in the field.
Since 2011, he has also been Director of the MemoLife Laboratory of Excellence, whose biology, physics and mathematics teams address memory processes, from genes to neural networks and the mechanisms of evolution.
It was by working on the Mauthner cell (en), a model used in the 1980s to study the quantum release mechanisms of neurotransmitters in the central nervous system, that Antoine Triller began to focus on the intimate mechanisms of synapses and the molecules that compose them.
As early as 1985, he was able to visualize the glycine receptor in the synapses of the central nervous system by electron microscopy and show that neurotransmitter receptors are concentrated in front of the synaptic vesicle release zones.
By creating his laboratory at the École normale supérieure de la rue d'Ulm in 1995, he reoriented his activities towards the study of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that control the recruitment and trafficking of receptors in the synapse.
In addition, using electron microscopy, he was able to demonstrate the presence of messenger RNAs encoding the glycine receptor in dendrites.
It is the subject of a founding article in Science that highlights multiple molecular mechanisms responsible for regulating these movements and ultimately the intensity of information transmission between neurons.

The current church was designed by the architect S.S.Teulon, who enlarged and redecorated the earlier Georgian church, between 1865-1873, giving it the appearance of a Greek Byzantine basilica.
A vestry was added in 1887, the organ enlarged in 1927, further redecoration in the 1950s and 'The Polygon' created in 1978.
The church contains a good collection of Victorian stained glass windows that were commissioned by Thomas Boddington, who lived at Gunnersbury Lodge, in 1864-74.

The illegally armed perpetrator left the scene before arrival of police and committed suicide as police closed in on him later during the day.
The perpetrator had three previous criminal convictions, including one for a violent crime, and a previous hospitalization in a psychiatric ward.
This was the third deadliest attack in modern Czech history alongside a 2013 explosion in Frenštát pod Radhoštěm, and after the 2015 Uherský Brod shooting and 1973 Prague vehicular rampage.
He briefly stopped at the cardiology waiting room and then at the gastroenterology waiting room, both of which were almost empty.
There were about thirty people in the room, all of them either partially immobile (on a wheelchair or with a limb in splint) or accompanying a partially immobile family member.
Two of the victims were off-duty prison guards, one with a leg in a splint and the other accompanying his minor daughter.
Police received the first emergency call at 7:19 a.m. and the first police unit reached the location of the incident five minutes later.
All Czech policemen are armed with pistols and a typical patrol car includes two policemen who usually have at least one long select-fire firearm (HK MP5, MP7 or G36) in the trunk, as well as bullet proof vests.
The first order patrol cars are positioned so as to reach any similar incident within ten minutes anywhere in the country and thus overcome the delay needed for arrival of a complete SWAT team.
The perpetrator drove away from the hospital in a grey Renault Laguna, at some point taking down its registration plates, possibly to avoid detection by automatic traffic cameras.
His mother called the police and informed them about her son being the perpetrator, his whereabouts and a description of his car.
By this time the police had arrested eight men in the hospital, its vicinity and elsewhere in Ostrava who fit the initial general description of the perpetrator, which later turned out to be completely wrong.
Although he was initially conscious and communicated with first responders, he then succumbed to his injury after 30 minutes of resuscitation attempts.
The perpetrator had spent some time in a psychiatric ward two years before the attack following hospitalisation for tetany, which is often accompanied by depression.
The perpetrator used CZ 75 pistol that was made about 30 years before as non-functional cut-away replica for purposes of education and training.
Police experts had not encountered similar conversion of a cut-away before and noted that it was done in a very sophisticated way.
Skandinavskii sbornik (Scandinavian compilation), also Скандинавский сборник, Skandinaavia kogumik, and Skrifter om Skandinavien, was an annual serial publication of the history and wider humanities in Scandinavia and the Baltic.
It was published by the University of Tartu in Estonia between 1956 and 1990 and has been described as the principal forum for scholars of Nordic studies in the Soviet region.
It emphasised long-term trends over short-term events and had a philosophy that peaceful coexistence between nations and peoples was the most natural order of things.
Its founder and first editor, with Lidiia K. Roots, was the historian and food-writer William Pokhlyobkin (1923–2000) who served until 1961.
It was part of an expansion in Nordic studies in Russia and the Soviet republics that saw departments of Nordic studies established in many universities and institutions in the Soviet region after the Second World War.
Its philosophy was to emphasise long-term historical processes and periods of peace over warfare, arguing that peaceful coexistence among nations and peoples was the most natural order of things.
The emphasis on peaceful periods was needed as Soviet scholarship had formerly focused mainly on Russian wars with the Swedes, thus neglecting the internal economic and social development of the Scandinavian countries.
In Shaskol'skii's opinion, the Marxist-Leninist approach enabled breakthroughs in solving problems that had defeated bourgeois historians, such as the ownership of peasant lands in Norway.
He also noted the extensive use made by authors of archival material, in Russia and outside, that had not previously been examined by Soviet scholars, and the frequency with which contributors addressed questions of historiography and interpretation.
Like Shaskol'skii, Kuujo noted authors referencing archives throughout the Soviet Union, for instance in Tartu and Riga, not just in Moscow.
Apart from history, the journal also covered economics, law, philosophy and the wider humanities, such as linguistics and the runic alphabets and inscriptions of Scandinavia such as the runic wand from Staraja Ladoga in north-west Russian, and a likely phonemic structure for the runic alphabet.
They have stems with pseudomonopodial branching in which unequal binary branching produces the appearance of a main stem with secondary side branches.
Sporangia are borne at the bases or in the axils of special spore-bearing leaves (sporophylls), which are notably different from the normal leaves, and are usually grouped into compact terminal structures (strobili).
Several different ways of representing this situation taxonomically have been used, and are still in use , including three subfamilies with multiple genera, and three genera with multiple subgeneric divisions.
The composer Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (1710–1784), eldest son of Johann Sebastian Bach, lived here during part of his career; the building now has an exhibition about W. F. Bach and other composers who lived in Halle.

Attracted by both biology and physics, Michel Thellier has developed a dual culture by passing, at the Faculty of Sciences of Paris, a degree in biology-geology (1954-1955) later supplemented by in-depth plant physiology, nuclear physics and radioactivity, physical theories.
Assistant (1956), Head of Works (1958) and Assistant Professor (1962) at the Faculty of Sciences of Paris, Doctor of Science (1963) after his return from military service, Professor in Tunis [scientific and technical cooperation] (1963-1966) then in Rouen (1966-1994) where he directed the Laboratory associated with the CNRS Cell Physiology, Signals and Regulations (1978-1990).
Trace Microprobe Techniques[Marcel Dekker Inc., New York] (1994-2000), Elected to the French Academy of sciences (1991) and the Académie d'Agriculture de France (2000), Professor emeritus (1994).
Performed in the Navy as an Instructor in Nuclear Physics and Aggressive Radioactive Physics (1960-1962) with the rank of Ship Ensign [Lieutenant equivalent in other weapons].
Michel Thellier, who entered the research through the study of boron plant nutrition (an essential element, but at an extremely low dose), due to the lack of a radioisotope of sufficient duration, used the stable isotope 10B as a tracer by detecting it thanks to its large cross-section effective for the reaction (n, α).
First using the neutrons from the ZOE nuclear cell, he was the first to measure flux and perform boron imaging in plant samples.
He generalized the Li, N and O method for animal and plant samples, obtaining in particular the first image of the distribution of lithium in the brain of mice subjected to lithium treatment similar to that used at the time for manic-depressive psychosis in humans.
Then he used secondary ion emission microscopy tools to do with stable isotopes almost everything that is traditionally done with radioactive isotopes, and eventually obtained SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) equipment for his laboratory.
Active transport has been produced by artificial, relatively simple and symmetrical systems, which may have had a role in prebiotic stages.
Some experiments suggesting information storage, he proposed that a form of memory exists in plants: memory of the storage/recall type, calcium-dependent and probably involving ionic condensation effects.
As university professor, Michel Thellier was an active teacher, not hesitating to carry out the Directed Works corresponding to his courses himself.

Pick of the Litter is an American documentary web television series by Dana Nachman and Don Hardy for Disney+ based on 2018 film of the same name, also written and directed by the duo, that began streaming on December 20, 2019.
The series follows six potential guide dogs named Paco, Pacino, Raffi, Amara, Tulane, and Tartan and how they are nurtured, trained, loved, and shepherded along the way forward potentially changing a blind human companion’s life and working as their guide dog.
Shortly after the trailer for the film released, Disney put out an idea to adapt the film into a series and the negotiations began for making the series.
When the idea about this series is pitched to Chris Beginner, CEO of Guide dogs for Blind he accepted as it would make more people aware about their organisation.
Instead of doing again the same thing what they did with the feature, the directing duo decided focus on the period of the transition from getting the puppies from puppy raiser homes to twelve weeks of training they undergo for becoming a guide dog by focusing on specific litter.
As the production doesn't want to disturb the training process, they used smaller camera on a gimbal that then goes into a monopod that can be flipped upside down.
The first episode is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on December 20, 2019 with the following episodes debuting weekly on Fridays.

Cross was selected in the 1987 NBA draft by the Philadelphia 76ers but never played in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Cross emerged as a promising prospect while playing at South Plantation High School in Plantation, Florida, and received multiple scholarship offers from NCAA Division I colleges.
However, he was not initially academically eligible and instead played his first two seasons of college basketball with the Miami Dade Sharks.
In 1986, Cross was offered a scholarship by the University of Hawaii at Manoa, who had first attempted to recruit him during his high school career.
He was required to spend the 1986–87 season at Leeward Community College while not playing basketball to become academically eligible for Hawaii.
During his senior season in 1988–89, Cross led Hawaii to its first postseason bid since 1974 while averaging 18.6 points per game.
Cross was subsequently selected to the All-WAC First Team, while he was named as Hawaii's most outstanding player during both of his seasons with the team.
He gained further attention from NBA teams following a promising showing at an All-Star Game in Japan and earned invites to multiple NBA tryout camps.
Cross spent the 1990 season in the Continental Basketball Association, splitting his season between the Grand Rapids Hoops and the Yakima Sun Kings.
At the end of the 1990 CBA season, Cross joined the Orlando Magic for training camp but did not make the team's final roster.

The Somers Mutiny was a planned mutiny on board the American brig while on a training mission in 1842 under Captain Alexander Slidell Mackenzie (1803-1848).
He learned that young Midshipman Philip Spencer (1823-1842) was plotting a mutiny that would kill all the officers and most of the trainees and become a very fast, well-armed pirate ship.
He had Spencer arrested and all the officers agreed that to save the ship they had to immediately execute Spencer and his two co-conspirators.
On 25 November 1842, during the passage to the West Africa and back Midshipman Philip Spencer, the son of Secretary of War John C. Spencer, tried to enlist purser's steward J.W.
On 26 November, Wales notified Captain Mackenzie of the plan through his chain of command via purser H.M. Heiskill and first lieutenant Guert Gansevoort.
Captain Mackenzie was not inclined to take the matter seriously, but instructed Lt. Gansevoort to watch Spencer and the crew for evidence of confirmation.
Lt. Gansevoort learned from other members of the crew that Spencer had been observed in secret nightly conferences with seaman Small and Boatswain's Mate Samuel Cromwell.
Papers written in English using Greek letters were discovered in a search of Spencer's locker and translated by Midshipman Henry Rodgers.
Philip Spencer had been a founding member of the Chi Psi fraternity at Union College, Schenectady, New York, in May, 1841.
The timing and circumstances were regarded as suspicious; and Cromwell, the largest man on the crew, was questioned about his alleged meetings with Spencer.
On 28 November wardroom steward Henry Waltham was flogged for having stolen brandy for Spencer; and, after the flogging, Captain Mackenzie informed the crew of a plot by Spencer to have them murdered.
Sailmaker's mate Charles A. Wilson was detected attempting to obtain a weapon on that afternoon, and Landsman McKinley and Apprentice Green missed muster when their watch was called at midnight.
Four more men were put in irons on the morning of 30 November: Wilson, McKinley, Green, and Cromwell's friend, Alexander McKie.
Perry) and three oldest midshipmen (Henry Rodgers, Egbert Thompson, and Charles W. Hayes), asking their opinion as to the best course of action.
In response, the captain noted the fatigue of his officers, the smallness of the vessel and the inadequacies of the confinement.
Similar to statues of deities in other cities in Mesopotamia, the Babylonians conflated this statue with their actual god, believing that Marduk himself resided in their city through the statue.
Because of the enormous significance of the statue, it was sometimes used as a means of psychological warfare by Babylon's enemies.
Enemy powers such as the Hittites, the Assyrians and the Elamites stole the statue during sacks of the city, which caused religious and political turmoil as Babylon's traditional rituals could then not be completed.
Returns of the statue, either through the enemies giving it back or through a Babylonian king campaigning and successfully retrieving it, were occasions for great celebrations.
The final mentions of the statue are from the period of Achemenid Persian rule over Babylon and its final fate is uncertain.
The statue might have been removed and possibly destroyed by the Achaemenid king Xerxes I after a revolt in 482–481 BC, but historical sources used for this assumption might be referring to a completely different statue.
Marduk was the patron deity of the city Babylon, having held this position since the reign of Hammurabi (18th century BC) in Babylon's first dynasty.
Although Babylonian worship of Marduk never meant the denial of the existence of the other gods in the Mesopotamian pantheon, it has sometimes been compared to monotheism.
The history of worship of Marduk is intimately tied to the history of Babylon itself and as Babylon's power increased, so did the position of Marduk relative to that of other Mesopotamian gods.
The myth tells how the universe originated as a chaotic realm of water, in which there originally were two primordial deities; Tiamat (salt water, female) and Abzu (sweet water, male).
These deities (including gods such as Enki) had little to do in these early stages of existence and as such occupied themselves with various activities.
Although Tiamat had revealed the plot to Enki to warn him, the death of Abzu horrified her and she too attempted to kill her children, rising an army together with her new consort Kingu.
Every battle in the war was a victory for Tiamat until Marduk convinced the other gods to proclaim him as their leader and king.
The gods agreed, and Marduk was victorious, capturing and executing Kingu and firing a great arrow at Tiamat, killing her and splitting her in two.
Marduk is also described as the creator of human beings, which were meant to help the gods in defeating and holding off the forces of chaos and thus maintain order on Earth.
The Babylonians themselves conflated the statue with the actual god Marduk – the god was understood as living in the temple, among the people of his city, and not in the heavens.
This was no different from other Mesopotamian cities, who similarly conflated their gods with the representations used for them in their temples.
During the religiously important New Year's festival at Babylon, the statue was removed from the temple and paraded through Babylon before being placed in a smaller building outside the city walls, where the statue received fresh air and could enjoy a different view from the one it had from inside the temple.
Because the significance the statue held to the city, enemies of Babylon often used the statue as a means of psychological warfare.
When foreign powers conquered or plundered Babylon, the statue was often stolen from the city (a common way of weakening the power of defeated cities in ancient Mesopotamia).
Such events caused great distress for the Babylonians as the removal of the statue signified the actual departure of the real deity, their friend and protector.
If the statue was absent, the New Year's festival could not be celebrated and made other religious activities and rituals difficult to perform.
Statues of deities were sometimes destroyed by enemy powers, as was once the case for the statue Shamash in the deity's patron city, Sippar.
Although Babylon rebuilt its kingdom under the Kassite dynasty, the statue would spend centuries in the kingdom of the Hittites, possibly being returned 1344 BC by King Šuppiluliuma I as a gesture of goodwill.
The statue then remained in Babylon until the Assyrian king Tukulti-Ninurta I captured Babylon in 1225 BC, when he plundered the city and carried the statue away to the Assyrian capital, Assur.
What exactly happened thereafter is unclear, but the statue returned to Babylon at some point and was later, for unknown reasons, moved to the nearby city Sippar.
Sippar was sacked 1150 BC by the Elamites under their king, Shutruk-Nakhunte, who stole the statue, carrying it to his homeland Elam.
The statue was successfully seized and returned to Babylon after the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar I ( 1125–1104 BC) campaigned against the Elamites.
Sennacherib had been seen as somewhat heretical by the Babylonians as he hadn't gone through with the traditional coronation ritual (with the statue) when he had proclaimed himself as Babylon's king.
When Sennacherib was murdered by his sons Arda-Mulissu and Sharezer in 681 BC, the Babylonians saw it as Marduk's divine retribution.
Some scholars have suggested that Sennacherib actually destroyed the original statue and the statue returned to Babylon in 668 BC was a replica.
Nabopolassar's son and heir, Nebuchadnezzar II (605–562 BC) widened the streets of Babylon so that the parade of the statue through the city at the New Year's festival would be made easier.
The Neo-Babylonian Empire was ended with the conquest of Babylon by Cyrus the Great of the Achaemenid Empire in 539 BC.
Cyrus showed respect for the city and the statue and his own inscriptions surrounding his conquest of the city explicitly state that Marduk was on his side in the war.
The first revolt broke out in June or July of 484 BC and was led by a rebel of the name Bel-shimanni.
Beginning in the summer of 482 BC, Shamash-eriba seized Babylon itself and other nearby cities, such as Borsippa and Dilbat, and was only defeated in March 481 BC after a lengthy siege of Babylon.
Using texts written by classical authors, it is assumed that Xerxes enacted a brutal vengeance on Babylon following the two revolts.
The Esagila was exposed to great damage and Xerxes allegedly carried the statue of Marduk away from the city, possibly bringing it to Iran and melting it down.
The story of Xerxes melting the statue comes chiefly from the ancient Greek writer Herodotus, who isn't otherwise considered entirely reliable and has been noted as being very anti-Persian.
Furthermore, some scholars doubt the statue was removed from Babylon at all and some have even suggested that Xerxes did remove a statue from the city, but that this was the golden statue of a man rather than the stone statue of the god Marduk.
Although contemporary evidence for Xerxes's retribution against Babylon is missing, mentions of the damage done by him to temples in the city is mentioned by later authors as well.
For instance, both the Roman historian Arrian and the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus describe how Alexander the Great restored some temples in the city which had been destroyed or damaged by Xerxes.
No mention of the statue is made by these authors, possibly indicating that it was no longer in the Esagila by Alexander's time.
There are later mentions of rulers giving gifts to Marduk in the Esagila, such as the Seleucid satrap Hyspaosines in 127 BC, but it is unclear if these mentions refer to the statue.

The freight technology sector, also known as FreightTech, refers to software companies and technologies which assist in supply chain management and the movement of freight.
The shipping and logistics industry has long been viewed as conservative and slow-to-change, in part due to complex relationships within global shipping and transportation networks, difficult documentation and customs requirements, lack of transparency among involved parties, and obstacles to adapting quickly to sudden economic changes.
These include increased operational flexibility and efficiency due to better planning and schedule adherence, better utilization of people and equipment, reduction of non-productive waiting times, shorter processing times, and increased shipper confidence.
Transactional application programming interfaces (API) and distributed ledger technology are expanding in the shipping and logistics sector to reduce extensive paperwork, monitor conditions and location of freight and goods in transport and make this information available to involved parties, and increase transparency across the supply chain.
Greater efficiency in trucking is being achieved through intelligent freight technology such as automated interfaces that can help truckers and regulatory bodies reduce stops at weigh stations and time spent at border checkpoints.
Mobile tracking programs can also reduce theft and loss of cargo by recording instances where trailer doors are opened outside of approved areas (geo-fences) and alerting authorities.
Growing automation of quoting and booking of truckload shipments and increased automation of matching trucks with appropriate loads in a timely manner is also working to maximize efficiency for shippers and consumers.
Due to the relatively short life cycle of three to four years for commercial trucks, implementation of new interfaces and freight technologies has progressed more quickly in trucking than in other sectors.
Compared with other modes of transport such as aviation and rail, however, driverless technologies for road transport have lagged behind due to road environments being more complex than separated spaces for rail and air transport.
Freight technology in air cargo is already critically important in cold chain management for sensitive goods such as agricultural products, vaccines, and medications.
Monitoring in the form of data loggers can record temperature, light, humidity, and GPS location to show whether goods have been improperly cooled, handled, or tampered with.
It is estimated that billions of dollars in revenue are lost by cargo companies annually due to dispute resolution for shipment delays and lost and damaged goods.
The world’s first blockchain-based system for streamlining air cargo costing, billing, and reconciliation was announced at the 2019 IATA World Cargo Symposium.
The Freight Technology Group, responsible for identifying relevant technologies for the freight sector in the UK, has identified three key technical innovations already in use in rail freight.
These include timetable advisory systems which allow drivers to track train progress against timetables via software hosted on tablets, freight collaborative decision-making systems which offer real-time information on arrivals of freight services, and mobile consisting applications which reduce the amount of information sent manually to relevant parties and authorities by collecting information and transmitting it directly.
However, advancements in rail freight technology have progressed more slowly than in other sectors due to the decades-long life cycles of locomotives and railcars and the lack of power supply in freight cars.
A $10 billion upgrade to the North American rail system was mandated by Congress to include automated safety overrides after a 2008 commuter train accident, laying the groundwork for autonomous rails in the United States.
In 2019, mining group Rio Tinto launched the world’s first autonomous heavy-haul freight railway trains in Western Australia to deliver ore from mines to ports.
The growing number of smart ports around the world are increasing capacity and efficiency for shippers, ports, and freight forwarding partners, such as trucking carriers.
Reductions in labour and machinery costs can be seen at ports thanks to improvements in automated and semi-automated cranes, which reduce the need for yard transfer vehicles.
In 2018, shipping conglomerate Maersk partnered with IBM to create TradeLens, a platform for sharing and streamlining shipping information across shipping partners, businesses, and different authorities.
Freight technology plays a pivotal role in intermodal freight transport by streamlining communication, documentation, and dispute resolution across various industry players as cargo changes hands.
Smart contracts, for example, can use information collected by data loggers, such as temperature data on cold chain shipments, to resolve or dispute a contract depending on whether the agreed upon terms of shipping have been followed.

The Cabanage River (French: Rivière du Cabanage) is a tributary of the south shore of the Petit Saguenay River flowing in the municipality of Petit-Saguenay in the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality, Quebec, Canada.
The valley of the Cabanage River is served mainly by Quai Street for the lower part, by route 170 for the intermediate part and by the Lavoie Road for the upper part.
The surface of the Cabanage River is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however; safe ice circulation is generally from mid-December to mid-March.
According to the analysis of artifacts found along the Petit Saguenay River, the Aboriginal presence in this area dates back to at least 1000 BC.

Freedom Village (Halkomelem: Chi'ckem) was a historic village founded by the former slaves (Halkomelem: skw'iyeth) of the , Chawathil First Nation who lived near present-day Hope, British Columbia.
As they dealt with this and other diseases Europeans started to settle in the area starting with the Hudson's Bay Company establishing trading posts at Fort Langley (in 1827) and Fort Yale (1848).
Greenwood Island (Halkomelem: Welqdmex), near the town of Hope in British Columbia, was a slave village to the Chawathil First Nation peoples who lived near what is now Hope.
There were so many slaves that the slaveholders, worried of an insurrection, forced them all out of their longhouses and onto the island where they created their own community.
This in turn slowly slipped out of the slaveholder's control until a decision by the Chawathil elders was made to abandon the village.
Over time the former slaves that made up the Chi'ckem village intermarried into the communities that surrounded them and were overtime were absorbed into the local First Nations.

Humanium Metal is used for the creation of some small ornamental objects, such as wristwatches, buttons, and spinning tops, with proceeds returning to charitable causes in the areas from which the firearms were seized.
Humanium Metal was first produced in November 2016 in El Salvador, where firearms seized by the Salvadoran government were converted into one ton of metal.
The program has received endorsements from the Dalai Lama, former director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency Hans Blix, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Desmond Tutu.
As of mid-2018, the program had used about 5,000 weapons to make three tons of Humanium Metal, with the organization saying that total orders for the metal amounted to US$3 million.
Proceeds from the sale of Humanium Metal is sent back to local charitable organizations in the conflict zones that supplied the firearms.
The most common method for producing Humanium Metal is when governments seize illegal firearms and melt down their metal, turning it into ingots, wire, or pellets.
The metal is 95% iron, and ingots are then sent to Sweden, where they are reduced to powder that can be used in the production of metal objects.

Ashton was an active social reformer, being a committee member of the Womens Literary Society in Sydney and a founding member of the Womanhood Suffrage League of New South Wales.
At a league meeting on 11 November 1891, she presented a paper calling for radical changes to the laws of marriage.
One of the reported proposals was to require both parties to renew their marriage vows each year; if either party refused they would have an automatic divorce.
Lady Jersey banned Eliza from visiting Government House, the Governor's official residence (a significant handicap for her role as a journalist) and called on the league to distance themselves from Ashton.
The league, represented by their secretary Rose Scott, quickly disassociated themselves from Ashton's views on marriage, however, Ashton remained as a member of the league.
Ashton's views were defended by her husband in a letter of 16 November, in which he expressed regret and astonishment of society's inability to debate the subject.
At the same time she published the full text of her paper and challenged readers to identify the position she was claimed as advocating.
On 26 April, writing under the name L. A. Ashton, she gave an account of a subsequent debate on the subject with Scott and Frank Cotton, a Labour politician.
In 1899 Lady Jersey wrote to the wife of the new Governer, Lady Beauchamp, advising her to allow Ashton to again visit Government House.
Lady Jersey explained that she had felt forced to counter such publicly expressed views but had never heard anything negative about Eliza's personal character.
Despite the criticism at the start of the decade, Ashton remained an active journalist until a week before her death in 1900.
On Wednesday 11 July 1900, Ashton became ill with what was described as nervous prostration, before falling into unconsciousness the following day.
Holt of the British Admiralty and built by British boatbuilder Fairmile Marine, during the Second World War eighty Fairmile B motor launches were built in Canada for service with the Coastal Forces of the RCN.
Built of double mahogany (diagonally) with an eight-inch oak keel and based on a line of destroyer hulls, the Fairmiles arrived in prefabricated kits to be assembled for the RCN by thirteen different boatyards.
In contrast to the British built boats, the Canadian Fairmiles were narrower, had a greater draught, and were slightly more powerful giving the Canadian boats a two knot speed advantage over the British boats.
Another unique design feature of the Fairmile B was that with forty-eight hours notice each boat could be reconfigured to serve in a different role.
Fitted with steel strips and tapped holes to ease equipment swaps, weapons and specialist gear such as torpedo tubes, mines, depth charges, and guns could be quickly stripped and attached to the boat.
In two days, a Fairmile could have it's weapons and equipment reconfigured to serve as an escort, minesweeper, minelayer, navigation leader, coastal raider, patrol boat, ambulance or rescue launch.

WETV's existence was cut short when an act of Congress ordered the channel's reservation for TV Martí, the new United States government television service for Cuba, and the government paid the owner to surrender the license.
On February 3, 1986, the Federal Communications Commission granted a 1985 application from Florida Educational Television of Monroe County to construct a new noncommercial educational television station on channel 13 at Key West.
The new construction permit took the WETV call letters; in 1987, the permittee name changed to Palmetto Broadcasters Associated for Communications and it was consolidated with other educational TV permittees associated with Palm Beach Atlantic College.
In 1988, a task force, consisting of the United States Information Agency, Voice of America, National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the Department of Defense and the FCC, was convened to select a VHF channel for transmission of television programming to Cuba, as there were virtually no UHF receivers in place in the country at the time.
The task force concluded that only channel 13 was available for this purpose, as the other eleven VHF channels would cause excessive interference.
On February 16, 1990, President George H. W. Bush signed the Television Broadcasting to Cuba Act, a component of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act for fiscal years 1990 and 1991, into law.
This act of Congress barred any reassignment of TV channels that would affect domestic service when those stations had been air on January 1, 1989—not the case for WETV, which had signed on (at the earliest) July 1 and could have its channel, the only one identified by the 1988 task force as suitable for the purpose, reassigned for government use.
In late March 1990, test broadcasts began for TV Martí from government facilities on the Keys: a balloon tethered above Cudjoe Key.

Ivan Lavrentevich Ustinov (; 1 January 1920 – 15 January 2020) was a Soviet intelligence officer who held a number of posts in Soviet military counterintelligence, reaching the rank of general-lieutenant.
He had begun his operational studies two weeks before the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union, and was soon in service in the front lines.
He saw action at the Battle of Smolensk and the fighting around Vyazma, having to escape encirclement before he could rejoin the Soviet forces.
He served on several of the fronts during the Second World War, as part of the detachments of NKVD and SMERSH operatives assigned to army groupings.
By the end of the war he was head of a SMERSH detachment with a regiment, and during the 1950s was part of military counterintelligence assigned to the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany, as part of the Ministry of State Security (MGB), and its successors the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD), and finally the Committee for State Security (KGB).

In retirement Ustinov published on the subject of the history of military counterintelligence, took part in anniversary events and was a consultant on documentary films.
He had received a number of honours and awards over his career, and died in 2020, shortly after his 100th birthday.

Statistician David Neft, who had recently been hired by computer data processing company Information Concepts, Inc. (ICI), first proposed a new baseball encyclopedia in 1965.
It was eventually determined that, to provide the greatest amount of accuracy possible, daily statistics for all players would have to be recreated.
Biographical details for approximately 5,000 players had already been compiled by Lee Allen, a historian at the Baseball Hall of Fame, and his research provided an early foundation.
His records included a full collection of box scores dating back to 1876, and a mostly complete daily statistics log that covered the period between 1876 and 1890.
The data, however, was not sufficient to calculate stats that had not been tracked contemporaneously, such as earned run average, runs batted in, and saves.
To permit these categories to be deduced for each season, Neft's research team consulted newspaper accounts of old games, focusing on the 1876–1919 period.
Every player's data were individually compiled on sheets of paper, with the information coded into punch cards by a firm in Israel.
Once the cards came back from overseas, ICI placed them in magnetic tape and data was sorted by an IBM 360 computer.
The system allowed for teams' season statistics to be totaled, combined, and compared with the numbers kept by the leagues; inconsistencies were flagged by the computer and logged by Neft for investigation.
Among the issues resolved was the existence of a small number of phantom ballplayers who had been recorded in box scores as appearing in a game despite not existing.
One example was a Cleveland Blues player named Woodruff, who was credited with playing as a right fielder in a 1901 game.
This group had multiple meetings and discussed proposed corrections to players' stats, in addition to deciding how old rules would be interpreted.
In the former year they had been officially recorded as outs, and they had been ruled as base hits in 1887.
The group opted against the original interpretations, electing to use modern rules, under which walks did not count as hits or outs.
Ty Cobb, who held MLB's career record for base hits at the time, had his total adjusted upward from 4,191 hits to 4,192.
Among pitchers whose records were changed, Christy Mathewson, who had been tied for the most career wins by an NL pitcher, had a reduction of six wins; Walter Johnson also had his win total lowered.
Attracting more attention than those changes was a rule interpretation that would have altered a well-known record: Babe Ruth's total of 714 career home runs.
In a 1918 game, Ruth had a game-ending hit which would have been scored as a home run under modern rules, as the ball went over the outfield wall.
The record committee initially voted to credit the batters with home runs, which would have increased Ruth's career tally to 715.
Another critic was MLB public relations director Joe Reichler, a member of the committee who had been absent from the meeting where the home run ruling was voted upon.
This was accomplished by excluding statistical summaries for all retired batters with fewer than 25 at bats, and all retired pitchers with under 25 innings pitched and no wins or losses.
Schwarz noted a pattern in which adjustments that would result in additions to the stats of big-name players were made, but not those that required subtractions.
Aiding the publisher was an agreement it had made with the researchers before the original book was released, which allowed Macmillan to avoid making any royalty payments.
Along with updates that brought the number of MLB players covered to more than 13,000, six fielding statistics were newly added to players' summaries, which necessitated the use of larger pages.
A directory with information for over 130 Negro league players active from 1920 to 1950 was also included, as was information on teams' home and away records and streaks.
For this version, Wolff elected to rely heavily on the database from the first edition, rejecting adjustments made under Reichler that were not backed by firm proof.
Numerous changes were made to historical statistics; among them was reducing Honus Wagner's career hit total by 12, which was enough to cost him two percentage points from his career batting average and drop him one place on the all-time hit list.
Neft cited the encyclopedia as having an effect in publicizing the statistical achievements of players like Addie Joss and Sam Thompson to Hall of Fame voters.
The top six teams from the regular season advanced to the playoff stage, with the top two teams receiving a bye to the semifinals.
The spring split began on January 16 and concluded on April 20 with the spring finals, which Cloud9 won with the same roster from the previous split: Balls, Meteos, Hai, Sneaky and LemonNation.

The first edition was dated 1849, though it was available for purchase in December 1848, perhaps to capitalize on the Christmas market.
The original letters on which Mary Howitt's work was based are held in Manuscripts and Special Collections at the University of Nottingham in United Kingdom.
The original home was torn down in the 1850s, and the site is now occupied by Seton High School (Cincinnati, Ohio).
Instead of following a single unifying plot, the narrative is organized as a calendar year, with a separate chapter for each month, beginning and ending with classic scenes of emigrant Christmas.

Iola M. Williams (February 2, 1936 – April 4, 2019) was an American politician, public official, civil rights activist and museum executive.
In 1979, Williams became the first African-American to join the San Jose City Council, an office she held from her appointment in 1979 until her retirement from council in 1991.
Williams was instrumental in the creation of the African American Military History Museum in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, as the institution's former executive director.
She saved the museum's original, existing structure, which had opened in 1942 as a USO Club for African American soldiers stationed at nearby Camp Shelby during World War II.
Under Williams, the former USO Club building was preserved, renovated and re-opened as the African American Military History Museum in 2009.
Williams was born Iola Craft on February 2, 1936, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi to parents who were a teacher and warehouse worker.
She attended the Eureka School in Hattiesburg, the first brick black school building constructed in the state of Mississippi during segregation.
The couple had seven children within the first ten years of their marriage - four daughters, Jenifer, Audrey, Beverly, and Ila, and three sons, Vincent, George Jr., and Kevin.
The family were stationed in bases in South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Illinois, and California, as well as three years in Europe, including a base in West Germany.
In 1966, while Iola Williams was living overseas, the Klu Klux Klan attacked and fire bombed the home of her cousin, Vernon Dahmer, who had been using his grocery store to help black residents of Hattiesburg register to vote.
In 1969, Iola Williams and her family moved to San Jose, California, where her husband had been hired as a mechanic for United Airlines.
At this point, Williams had studied to become a licensed vocational nurse and began work at O'Connor Hospital in San Jose.
Iola Williams played the piano, sang in the church choir and volunteered in the church's school, which would lead to her interest in running for the local school board.
In 1970, Iola Williams became the first African-American to be elected to the Franklin-McKinley School District school board, which covers a portion of the city of San Jose.
Williams' election to the school board marked the beginning of a wave of female candidates who were elected to public office throughout Santa Clara County during the 1970s.
Notable women who entered elected politics the decade included Williams and Janet Gray Hayes, who became the first female Mayor of San Jose in 1975.
Women also gained majorities on the San Jose City Council and the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, a rarity in the United States at this time.
Williams credited the rise of other female politicians in Santa Clara County with helping her enter politics and navigate the political landscape during the 1970s.
Williams began her public career by serving on the Franklin-McKinley School District school board, which covers a portion of the city of San Jose, California, for 12 years, until her appointment to the San Jose City Council in 1979.
However, soon after the 1978 election, incumbent San Jose Council member Susanne Wilson vacated her seat following her election to the country-wide Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors.
Iola Williams was appointed fill Wilson's newly vacant seat on the San Jose City Council in 1979, becoming the first African-American to serve on the council in its history.

Iola Williams had grown up in segretated Mississippi and her cousin, activist Vernon Dahmer, had been murdered in a KKK attack in Hattiesburg in 1966.
However, Iola Williams surprised observers and colleagues by voting to allow the march in San Jose, citing her commitment to civil rights.
For example, she supported San Jose's shift to district elections for the city council, which gave neighborhoods more of a voice in choosing their council members.
She also cast a deciding vote to keep the city's 10th and 11th as one-way streets due to traffic concerns and the safety of pedestrians.
The program, which she described as her greatest achievenement, was later renamed the Iola Williams Seniors Program by city council in her honor.
She also served on the League's human resource committee, as well as the organization's board of directors, which represents California cities in both the Governor's Office of Planning and Research Council and state Task Force on Civil Rights.
During her years in California, Williams had visited Hattiesburg frequently to take care of her mother and kept a small mobile home in the area for this reason.
Once back in her hometown, Williams would become deeply involved with a number of local, government, economic development, and community organizations.
Soon after returning to Mississippi, Hattiesburg Mayor J. Ed Morgan invited Williams to join the city administration and appointed her as the Director of Recreation and Community Relations in 1992.
At the time of her hiring, Mayor Morgan noted that the city government could not pay Williams a salary comparable to those available back in California.
However, Morgan promised Williams that the city would help redevelop a neglected former USO Club (and, later, a former library and community center), which the city acquired in 1993.
The club, which had opened in 1942 as a venue for African-American servicemen from Camp Shelby during World War II, stood in the historic black neighborhood of Mobile.
Williams, as head of the community relations office, asked local military veterans to donate and locate artifacts which would be displayed at a new proposed museum at the USO club site.
During the same time period, the Hattiesburg Convention Commission was created by the Mississippi State Legislature during the 1990s to grow and fund Hattiesburg's tourism, convention and economic developmemt sectors, including the construction of new facilities and infrastructure.
A 2 percent sales tax on food and beverages at local restaurants was enacted to provide funding to improve new and exiting city buildings, including renovations to the Saenger Theater and the new Lake Terrace Convention Center.
The renovation of the existing USO Club, which was preserved during its transition into the museum, cost an estimated $1.1 million, according to an annual report issued by the Hattiesburg Convention Commission.
It is the only existing USO Club that served African American servicemen during World War II that remains in use in the United States.
In an interview, Williams described her favorite exhibit as the one featuring Ruth Bailey Earl, a United States Army nurse who served during World War II.
Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny DuPree reappointed her to her final term on the commission from August 18, 2012, until her retirement on August 17, 2014.

Heiqia Pass, Heika Pass or Heiqiazi Daban(), also known by Western sources as Kirgizjangal Pass, is a mountain pass along the China National Highway 219 with numerous hairpin turns.
Located at from the northern terminus of the G219 highway, it is between the village of Mazar in Kargilik County and the town of Xaidulla in Hotan County near the boundary of the two counties.

When the Qing dynasty first took control of the region in the late 1700s, they expelled the Kirghiz from the area.
This along with the economic impacts of those rebellions led to reduction in trade along the caravan route between the Indian subcontinent and Tarim Basin.
In recent years, a few mining operations started to west of the mountain pass producing siderite iron ore and potentially copper.

Jimmy O'Brien, better known by his nickname Jomboy, is a sports media personality who creates social media videos digging in to sports stories.
Jomboy rose to prominence on the internet in 2019 when he created a viral video showing with subtitles what New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone appeared to be saying during an argument with an umpire in a game.
O'Brien lived in Hazlet, New Jersey until he was eight years old, later moving to Lindfield, New South Wales, Lake Zurich, Illinois, Southbury, Connecticut, Livermore, California, Newtown, Connecticut, back to the San Francisco Bay Area and then Lavallette, New Jersey before moving to New York City.
While watching a July 2019 Yankees game, O'Brien discovered that Aaron Boone's argument with umpire Brennan Miller had been picked up by microphones on an MLB.TV feed, and he published the video of the argument with subtitles showing what was being said.
Yankees and MLB officials expressed mixed reactions to the viral video, with some questioning whether fans should be able to hear conversations on the field and in the dugout and others appreciating O'Brien for making creative content that could market baseball to younger fans.

Thomas Humphrey (1858 – 1922) was a Scottish-born Australian artist and photographer who was associated with the Heidelberg School art movement, also known as Australian impressionism.
Although a minor figure compared to Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton and other members of the Heidelberg School, Humphrey won praise for his work from his contemporaries, and today he is represented in the permanent collections of several of Australia's major art galleries.
Born in 1858 in Aberdeen, Scotland, Humphrey migrated as a young boy with his family to Australia, settling in the Melbourne suburb of Richmond.
As a teenager, he studied part-time at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School and entered the photographic trade, where he worked with George Pitt Morison and eventually established his own photographic studio with his wife, Alice Mills.
Since then, Humphrey's works have entered the permanent collections of both state and regional Australian galleries, including the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Art Gallery of Ballarat.
Throughout much of his life, Humphrey was plagued by health problems which, together with the demands of running a photographic studio, limited his ability to paint.

It focuses on specific incidents of conflict with senior advisors, including former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis.
When Tillerson told him it would need action by Congress, Trump reportedly instructed an aide to draft an executive action to repeal the law.
The book suggests that this consistent pattern of reliance on personal loyalty, combined with a disregard for consequences, has placed Trump in opposition to conventional democratic power structures in Washingon, D.C., with apparently chaotic results.
The book also highlights apparent gaps in the president's geopolitical knowledge, relating a story about a meeting with Indian prime minister Narendra Modi in which the American president reportedly claimed, incorrectly, that India and China do not share a border.
Another account describes him visiting Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial while apparently having no understanding of what actually happened there.
North American rights to the book were purchased by Penguin Press, while UK and Commonwealth rights were purchased by Bloomsbury Publishing.

The history of Christianity in Hungary started in the Roman province of Pannonia, centuries before the arrival of the Magyars, or Hungarians.
The Romans forced the tribes of Transdanubia (the region to the west of the Middle Danube) into submission between 35BC and 9AD.
The province was divided into four in the 290s, with two new provinces, Pannonia Prima and Pannonia Valeria, icorporating lands in present-day Hungary.
Although bishop Quirinus of Sescia was publicly executed in Savaria in 303, no local martyrs are known from the two provinces.
The Huns crossed the river Volga from the east and forced large groups of Alans and Goths to abandon their homelands in the Pontic steppes in the late 370s.
The Romans allowed the Marcomanni, who had dwelled north of the Middle Danube, to settle in Pannonia Prima after their queen, Fritigil, converted to Christianity around 396.
Heruli, Suebi and other small Germanic peoples seized parts of Pannonia until the Lombards united the territory under their rule in the 500s.
Anthony the Hermit was born in Pannonia Valeria; he left the province to be educated by Severinus of Noricum only after the death of his parents.
Coming from the region of the Ural Mountains, the Magyars appeared in the lands to the west of the Volga River at an unknown time.
The Magyars were among the subject peoples of the Khazar Khaganate for an uncertain period, but from the mid-9th-century they acted as an independent power.
Ahmad ibn Rustah, Abu Sa'id Gardezi and other medieval Muslim geographers who preserved earlier scholars' records of the 9th-century Magyars described them as star- and fire-worshipers.
Prohibitions in Christian legislation indicate that sacrifices made at sacred groves and springs were important elements of the pagan Magyars' cult.
The Magyars came into contact with Muslims, Jews and Christians, but all theories on their influence on the Magyars' religious life are speculative.
The Byzantine Emperor Leo the Wise incited them to invade Bulgaria in 894, but the Bulgarians made an alliance with the Pechenegs.
Both local Christians and Christian prisoners may have influenced the Magyars' attitude towards Christianity, because part of the local population survived the Magyar conquest and the Magyars captured Christians during their raids in Europe, but their role in the Magyars' conversion is undocumented.
A sabretache decorated by a Greek cross, mythical animals and palmettes, found in a grave at Tiszabezdéd, may reflect Christian influence or religious syncretism, but the dead warrior was put in the grave in accordance with pagan practices, together with his horse.
The late-11th-century Byzantine historian John Skylitzes claimed that Hierotheos had converted many Hungarians, but archaeological finds does not support the idea of a mass conversion to Orthodox Christianity in the second half of the 10thcentury.
Pope John XI had already sent a missionary bishop, Zacheus, to Hungary in the early 960s, but the Pope's opponent, the Holy Roman Emperor Otto I captured Zacheus at Capua.
A Benedictine monk, Wolfgang, left the Einsiedeln Abbey to proselytize among the Hungarians in 972, but Piligrim, Bishop of Passau, forbade him to leave his diocese.
Thietmar of Merseburg recorded that Géza offered sacrifices to pagan gods even after his baptism; Bruno of Querfurt accused Sarolt of mixing Christian and heathen practices.
Stephen requested a royal crown from Emperor Otto III or Pope Sylvester II, because he wanted to demonstrate his country's full sovereignty and his right to rule by the grace of God.
His request was granted and he was crowned the first king of Hungary on 25 December 1000 or 1 January 1001.
Historians debate whether Kalocsa was established as an archbishopric without suffragan bishops, or as a bishopric, but it was mentioned as an archbishopric already in 1050.
Stephen completed the establishment of Pannonhalma Abbey and founded Benedictine monasteries at Pécsvárad, Zalavár, Bakonybél, Somlóvásárhely and Zobor (now in Slovakia).
The bishoprics and the monasteries received magnanimous grants and Stephen ordered the collection of the tithes, a church tax, for the clergy.
His first laws put Church property and the clergy under royal protection, ordered the observation of feast days and fasts and the punishment of those who disturbed the mass by murmuring.
Bonipert, the first bishop of Pécs, came from France or Lombardy; one of his priests, Hilduin, was a Frenchman; the hermits Zoerard and Benedict were born in Poland or Istria.
His second law book prescribed that every ten villages were to build a church, but a fully developed parish system cannot be documented.
One of his opponents, Ajtony, who ruled the Banat, converted to Orthodoxy and established a monastery for Byzantine monks at his seat.
After Stephen's troops conquered Ajtony's domains, the monks were transferred to a new monastery, built for them at Oroszlámos (now Banatsko Aranđelovo in Serbia).
Byzantine documents made sporadic references to metropolitan bishops of Tourkia in this period, proving the existence of a titular Hungarian Orthodox metropolitanate.
Gerard described them as heretics who denied the resurrection of the dead and threatened the Church's position with the assistance of Methodius's followers.
In 1046, they offered the throne to Vazul's exiled sons, but a popular uprising began against the King before the three dukes returned to Hungary.
The Teatro Re was a theatre in Milan, located near the Piazza del Duomo and named for its proprietor, Carlo Re.
It functioned as both a prose theatre and an opera house and saw the world premieres of numerous operas, including four by Giovanni Pacini.
The Teatro Re was named for its proprietor, Carlo Re, a Milanese businessman and impresario who in his early days had been a shoemaker.
Designed by Luigi Canonica, the theatre was built on the site of the demolished church of San Salvatore in Xenodochio which had been established in the late 8th century as the chapel for Milan's first orphanage.
Less than half the size of La Scala (Milan's main opera house), the Teatro Re had an overall seating capacity of 1000 arranged over an upper balcony, three tiers of boxes, and eight rows of seats on the floor of the auditorium.
The curtain, which depicted the Judgement of Paris, was painted by Pasquale Canna, who like Sanquirico, also worked as a set painter and designer for La Scala.
The Teatro Re hosted over 20 world premieres of operas and ballets between 1814 and 1848 and saw performances by some of Italy's most prominent theatre companies, including those of , Gaetana Goldoni, , and Vestri & Venier.
The Teatro Re's popularity began a slow decline in the second half of the 19th century, and it supplemented its theatrical and operatic productions with acrobatic and science shows.
For a while some of its repertoire moved to the Nuovo Teatro Re (New Teatro Re) which had been opened in the Porta Ticinese district by Carlo Re's son Giovanni in 1864.
The building of the original Teatro Re was acquired by the city of Milan and demolished in 1879 during the restructuring of the area around the newly-built Galleria Vittorio Emanuele.

Legislative elections were held in the Comoros on 19 January 2020; in constituencies where no candidate received a majority, a second round will be held alongside local elections on 23 February.
An opposition union including the two largest parties in the outgoing Assembly (the Union for the Development of the Comoros and the Juwa Party) boycotted the elections due to ongoing disputes over constitutional reforms and political repression spearheaded by President Azali Assoumani.
Following decades when the politics of the Comoros was shaped by dictatorship, frequent coups, and civil war, the adoption of the December 2001 Constitution inaugurated the only sustained democratic order in the country since its independence from France in 1975.
Azali Assoumani, the leader of the last successful military coup in 1999, remained as president after winning multi-party elections in March 2002.
Constitutionally barred from serving consecutive terms, Assoumani stepped down from the presidency for a decade in 2006, before being reelected in 2016.
Two weeks later, Assoumani announced that a series of consultations held with representatives of the nation during the preceding months had determined that to realize his vision of development a referendum should be held to revise the constitution.
Claiming that he was now eligible to serve for another ten years, Assoumani called a new presidential election in 2019, two years early.

The 1928 United States presidential election in Tennessee took place on November 6, 1928, as part of the 1928 United States presidential election.
Contrariwise, the rest of Middle and West Tennessee who had supported and driven the state’s secession was equally fiercely Democratic as it associated the Republicans with Reconstruction.
After the disfranchisement of the state’s African-American population by a poll tax was largely complete in the 1890s, the Democratic Party was certain of winning statewide elections if united, although unlike the Deep South Republicans would almost always gain thirty to forty percent of the statewide vote from mountain and Highland Rim support.
When the Democratic Party was bitterly divided, the Republicans did win the governorship in 1910 and 1912, but did not gain at other levels.
The 1920 election saw a significant but not radical change, whereby by moving into a small number of traditionally Democratic areas in Middle Tennessee and expanding turnout due to the Nineteenth Amendment and powerful isolationist sentiment, the Republican Party was able to capture Tennessee’s presidential electoral votes and win the governorship and take three congressional seats in addition to the rock-ribbed GOP First and Second Districts.
In 1922 and 1924, with the ebbing of isolationist sympathy and a consequent decline in turnout, the Democratic Party regained Tennessee’s governorship and presidential electoral votes.
However, with most other Democrats sitting the 1928 election out due to the prevailing prosperity, the nomination of Catholic New York Governor Al Smith was always a foregone conclusion from the beginning of the election campaign.
Southern fundamentalist Protestants believed that Smith would allow papal and priestly leadership in the United States, which Protestantism was a reaction against.
By the beginning of November it was thought by pollsters that Smith would carry the state, but as it turned out the state’s votes went quite clearly to Hoover, despite the powerful Democratic loyalty of whites in West Tennessee.
This would be the best Republican performance in Tennessee between Grant’s 36.85% 1868 landslide and Richard Nixon’s carrying the state by 37.95% in 1972.

He married Elizabeth Martin, daughter of the Reverend Hartstonge Martin of Cashel, County Tipperary and Susan Wemyss in 1758, and had a son, also Christopher, who became a clergyman.
He had strong and sometimes controversial political opinions: in particular he was opposed to the cause of independence for the Parliament of Ireland, a central demand of Henry Grattan and his Irish Patriot Party.
On account of his political opinions he was savagely attacked by pamphleteers, notably Robert Johnson (1745–1833), himself a future judge, who eventually destroyed his career by anonymous attacks on his colleagues.
On the other hand, Ball argues that his charges to Dublin grand juries show him to have been both intelligent and humane.
He amassed a large collection of legal texts; after his death his son, Christopher having as a non-lawyer no need of them, put them up for sale.
The Benchers of the King's Inns agreed to buy most of the collection, and this formed the basis of the King's Inns Library.

Liga IV Constanța is the regional Liga IV football division for clubs in Constanța County, România, the fourth tier of the Romanian football league system.
It is organized by the County Football Association (Asociația Județeană de Fotbal) and is competed amongst 18 teams, the winner is promoted to Liga III after a promotion play-off.
The number of relegated team from the Liga IV – Constanța is variable and depends on the number of teams relegated from the Liga III.
In 1968, along with the territorial reorganization of the country, but also due to the large number of requests, FRF proposes a competitive system in which each county has its own football championship, which will activate the former teams in the regional championship as well as the racing and town championship teams from the previous edition.
Richard Hood, (4 July 1769 - 20 November 1836) was an Anglican priest in Ireland during the first decades of the 19th century.
Pan African Universities Debating Championship (PAUDC) is the biggest intercollegiate debate championship on the African continent established in 2008 by the University of Botswana Debate Masters Association.
The OSI African Regional Office and the Youth Initiative partnered with the Pan-African Universities Debating Championship (PAUDC) organizing committee and the University of Botswana to organize the first-ever Pan African Universities Debating Championship in 2008 to provide students from various African universities the opportunity to interrogate issues of African and Global importance.
The PAUDC structure is the British Parliamentary (BP), made up of four teams of two, with two teams supporting a motion, and two teams opposing.
Opening Government (OG), consisting of the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister; Opening Opposition (OO), consisting of the Opposition Leader and Deputy Opposition Leader; Closing Government (CG), consisting of the Government Member and Government Whip; and Closing Opposition (CO), consisting of the Opposition Member and the Opposition Whip.
The sculptural group of The Holy Trinity is a work by an anonymous sculptor called the Master of the Žebrák Lamentation of Christ dating from the period after 1512.
Christian Salm considers this work and others by the Master of the Žebrák Lamentation of Christ to be some of the finest Gothic sculptures of their time.
The sculpture of the Holy Trinity is on display in the permanent collection of the Aleš South Bohemian Gallery in Hluboká nad Vltavou.
The work was most probably part of the altarpiece of the Holy Trinity at the parish church of St Nicholas (first documented in 1381) or from the hospital church of the Holy Trinity (founded in 1515) in České Budějovice.
It could have been modelled on a wood-engraving by Albrecht Dürer (1511); the movement and expressive representation of Christ’s figure are worked independently and with an originality that does not have a direct model.
The composition of the figures refers more to older models such as the tondo of the Pietà with the Holy Trinity (1400) by Jean Malouel and the altar wing by Bernt Notke in Lübeck (1483).
He holds Christ by the chest with his left hand and his fingers reach almost as far as the wound in Christ’s side.
God the Father, with long hair and a long beard, has on his head a crown adorned with two strips of dentils.
He is dressed in a long cloak with remnants of red pigment and a robe that is hitched up at the waist.
His head doesn’t rest on his father’s shoulder but is turned away in order to place greater emphasis on the idea of humility.
The figure of God the Father has a monumental and static pyramidal form, while Christ is slender and his feet hardly touch the ground.
Christ’s father lifts him up and presents him as a contrast between the fragility of the divine incarnation and the inviolable deity.
The sculptor thus possibly points to the notion that, in the work of salvation, the chief initiative belongs to God the Father, and that redemption, achieved through the sacrifice of Christ, is exclusively the gift of God.
According to Homolka, who finds analogies with the seated figures of the altar in Altmünster, the sculptor was acquainted with Viennese sculpture (M. Tichter).
P. Kováč mentions clear analogies with Bavarian sculpture, in particular with the works of Hans Leinberger who was active during the same period.
It is possible to relate the dating of the sculpture to the founding of the hospital church of the Holy Trinity in 1515.
The founding of the church followed a waves of plague epidemics of which the first, in 1495, killed almost half the town’s inhabitants.
On 18 January 2020, a drone and missile attack on a military camp near Ma'rib killed at least 111 Yemeni soldiers.
The target was a mosque present on the grounds of a military training camp, targeted during evening prayers when dozens of people were inside praying.
The Cutters played their first Queensland Cup game local rivals, the Northern Pride, who were also playing their first game, losing 16–44.
Two more losses followed before the club recorded their first win, a 24–22 victory over the Redcliffe Dolphins at Dolphin Oval.
Their first home win came three weeks later when they defeated the Souths Logan Magpies 22–12 at the Mackay Junior Rugby League grounds.

José Carlos Romero Herrera (born 1941) is a Spanish politician who served as Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food from December 1982 to March 1991.
It was commissioned by the Japanese authorities to director Toyojirō Takamatsu (1872–1952) in 1907, twelve years after Japan occupied Taiwan, as a propaganda movie showing the progress of Taiwan under Japanese rule.
After two months of shooting in more than a hundred locations in the island, the film was sent to Tokyo for final copy-editing.
On the one hand, the local Japanese authorities in Taiwan planned to show it to the budget subcommittee of the Imperial Diet in Tokyo to confirm that money was well spent in the island.
On the other hand, since the starting of the project, a main aim was to screen the film at the 1907 Tokyo Industrial Exhibition.
Due to unusual length of the film (220 minutes), the premiere was divided in two evenings, May 8 and 9, 1907.
In the same year 1907, Takamatsu toured Japan to show the film accompanied by five representatives of the Taiwanese indigenous peoples.
Together with the director, they were granted a personal audience by Emperor Meiji in his palace in Aoyama and, upon their return to Taiwan, by Governor-General Sakuma Samata.
The success of the film induced the Governor-General to support more propaganda films and newsreels which effectively started a cinema of Taiwan.
The film is lost, but it is known from reviews in local newspapers that it featured a long staged scene of Japanese military repressing a revolt by Taiwanese indigenous people.
The film was criticized for presenting a romantic, exotic, and colonial view of Taiwan, ignoring its more modern industrial products and social problems.
The panel painting of The Madonna between St Catherine and St Margaret dating from the period before 1360 most probably formed the central part of a lost altarpiece in the Cistercian Abbey of Zlatá Koruna.
The painting was in private possession in Český Krumlov until it was purchased in 1880 by the Town Museum in České Budějovice, from where it was transferred to the Aleš South Bohemian Gallery in Hluboká nad Vltavou.
The spruce-wood panel covered with canvas, measuring 102 x 98.5 cm, was at a later time clearly cut down to a smaller size, since the remaining fragment of another figure’s clothing can be seen in the left-hand margin.
The crowned Virgin Mary sits on a throne with a canopy, and on her right knee she holds the half-naked body of the Baby Jesus who turns his face to the faithful.
This type of enthroned Madonna, representing the Throne of Wisdom, originates in Byzantium and was also common in Italian Gothic painting.
St Catherine standing on the left with her wheel and St Margaret on the right with the dragon, a symbol of hellish forces, both hold in their hands a palm frond as the sign of martyrdom.
They differ from the precise execution of the Loving Madonnas by the circle of the Master of the Vyšší Brod Altarpiece and, with their proportions and the long stems of their trefoils, they are similar, for example, to the crowns in the Votive Panel of Jan Očko of Vlašim (1371).
Characteristic of this transitional period of style are certain traditional elements such as the halos, the overall composition of the Madonna and Child, and the complex, subtle and Italianate composition of the throne.
In contrast to this, the features of the Virgin Mary’s face and the childish charm and playfulness of the Baby Jesus represent a shift in this theme towards a more natural character.
In addition, the modelling of the bodies and the radiant colours link the work to book and panel painting of the 1360s and 1370s.
It inclines beyond the linear style, aiming towards greater abstraction and a softening of form; towards a spiritualisation, a new conception of the function of light; and towards a richly-toned colour scheme that anticipated the style of the 1360s and the work of the Master of the Třeboň Altarpiece.
It differs in the underpainting of the flesh tones from the Vyšší Brod (Hohenfurth) cycle and thus represents a new kind of painting technique.

The war was in the interest of the Turanians, and on the last night of the war, Qaren came near Nuwzer and wanted to go to Pars and save the royal family from captivity.
Nowzar did not allow, saying: Sardari is not like you to lead the war tomorrow, but the nighting Qaren went to Pars with his army.
On his return from Pars Qaren, he encountered Viseh and a fierce battle with the forces of Viseh led the Turkan to flee.
Virgilio Zapatero Gómez (born 26 June 1946) is a Spanish politician who served as Minister of Relations with the Cortes and Government Secretariat from July 1986 to July 1993.
After being director at Rough Trade Records and Zomba Records for Germany, Austria and Switzerland for more than 20 years, he founded Zebralution, the first digital distributor for independent labels in Europe that is today one of the world's largest digital distributors of music as well as audiobooks, together with music journalist and lawyer Sascha Lazimbat.
Thielen started his career in 1979 in a record store and worked from 1982 till 1983 at the Bochum club venue Zeche.
When the British mother firm went bankrupt in 1991, the German Rough Trade Distribution GmbH saved itself, with Thielen becoming a ten per cent partner.
However, the majority of RTD went to the British distributor Pinnacle, which in turn was bought up by Zomba in 1996.
Thielen then became a consultant for Vodaphone before he founded Zebralution, the first European digital distributor for independent labels with a global focus in 2004 together with Sascha Lazimbat.
In April 2017, Thielen bought the company back from Warner together with Lazimbat and two other music managers, Christoph Ellinghaus from City Slang, and Konrad von Löhneysen from Embassy of Music.
The German collecting society for music represents the copyrights of around 74,000 members (composers, lyricists, music publishers) and over two million rights holders worldwide.
Thielen became a partner in the label Stereo Deluxe in 2005 and has been the manager of songwriter Michael Kersting and the artist Cosmo Klein.
In addition, Thielen founded the audio book publisher Finch & Zebra together with Sabine Buß in 2016 and entered the podcast business with zebra-audio.net.
From 1998 to 2003 and from 2005 to 2007, Thielen was a board member of the German International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).
In October 2018, Thielen was recognized by the IG Hörbuch of the Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels as the ″Audiobook Person of the Year 2018″.
African Jesuit AIDS Network (AJAN) is a network of organizations that fight against HIV/AIDS created on June 21, 2002, by Jesuits from Africa and Madagascar.
It is one of the entities in the Catholic Church that handles about 25% of AIDS patients worldwide and can reach 100% of Africa in remote areas, according to the Vatican studies.
These entities can be groups of people infected with the virus and affected by the virus, who fight against stigmatization and discrimination, who promote responsibility and prevention, and who are sensitive to the culture, faith, and spirituality of the people.
At the end of the 2010s, Paterne Mombe, an AIDS expert in Africa trained in Biology at Burkina Faso, headed the entity, who decided to take up the fight against AIDS after helping AIDS patients from Uganda.
It is published by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), an organisation that collects music data for the weekly ARIA Charts.

By 1913 the school was listed as being at West 18th and South Ringo streets; that building was still standing in 1939.
The Legislative Council consisted of six official members appointed by the High Commissioner and twelve elected members, three of which were Muslims and nine of which were non-Muslims.
Due to the high levels of illiteracy, voting was not secret, with voters required to tell the polling officers their candidates of choice, often in front of agents of the candidates.
The Larnaca–Famagusta constituency only had three candidates for the three non-Muslim seats; Sotiris Amfietzis (Mayor of Famagusta and losing candidate in 1883), Ioannis Karemfylakis (a lawyer) and Nikolaos Rossos (another lawyer).
In Nicosia–Kyrenia, there were five non-Muslim candidates; incumbent MLCs Efstathios Constantinides and Paschalis Constantinides, Achillea Liasides (a lawyer who worked with Paschalis Constantinides), Kyrillos Papadopoulos (a priest) and Nikolaos Rossos (who had also run in Larnaca–Famagusta).
Rossos attempted to withdraw his candidacy after being elected in Larnaca–Famagusta, but it was too late for him to be removed from the ballot.
Following the elections, defeated Nicosia–Kyrenia candidate Liasides protested that Kyrillos Papadopoulos (who had been elected in third place) was not registered to vote in the constituency, and his election should be annulled.
In the by-election for the vacant seat on 3 January 1887, Dimitrios Nikolaidis (an MLC between 1883 and 1886) defeated the trader Michail Michailidis by 284 to 195 votes.
Richardos Matei, an unsuccessful candidate in the 1883 elections, was the only nominee, and was returned unopposed on 5 September 1887.
Pericles Vontitsianos was elected unopposed to replace Matei on 15 February, whilst Aristotle Paleologos was returned unopposed as Malikides' replacement on 25 February.
A by-election was eventually held for the vacant seat in Larnaca–Famagusta on 16 October 1890, with Richardos Matei defeating Loukas Paisiou by 183 votes to 144.
Its origins are older but the present building was built for the 10th Viscount Falkland and his wife by the architect Anthony Salvin.
In the same year, Falkland married Lady Amelia FitzClarence, an illegitimate daughter of William IV and his long-time mistress Dorothea Jordan.
On the King's death in 1837, Amelia, with her brothers and sisters, was among the main beneficiaries of her father's will.
It was used subsequently as a family home, a billet during World War II, and the headquarters of a chemicals company.
Since the early 20th century it has reverted to use as a home and an events venue, and has seen a further change of name to Rudby Hall.
Various subsidiary structures on the estate have their own Grade II listings; the pump house, the gate lodge, and walls, gate piers and a balustrade in the gardens.
While in Paris during the German occupation, she was active in Jewish Communist organizations and wrote about art in local journals.
Born in Włocławek on 4 November 1899, Chana Kowalska was the daughter of Judah Leib Kowalski (1862–1925), a Zionist rabbi and politician.
Her artwork is appreciated as representative of a female artist living in Paris as a Jewish communist during the German occupation.
After being arrested by the Gestapo for her involvement in communist activities, Kowalaska was first interned at the Caserne des Tourelles transit camp.

Ernest Dawson (1 December 1882, San Antonio, Texas – 15 November 1947, Los Angeles) was an American antiquarian bookseller, small press publisher, mountain climber, and Sierra Club president.
He was a Sierra Club director from 1922 to 1925 and from 1926 to 1937 (and also president from 1935 to 1937).
It is a rare surviving early Gothic sculpture that is directly related to French or Rhineland cathedral sculpture of the 13th century.
The compositional type of the Madonna with an open cloak is derived from French cathedral sculpture (the cathedral portal in Rheims, 1230-1233), from where it spread through the Rhineland and Germany to central Europe.
This connection with cathedral sculpture is the basis for the Strakonice Madonna’s clearly arranged and perfectly balanced composition, for the purity and sophistication of its forms as well as for the refinement and cultivated character of its physical gestures.
With the compactness of its mass, simplicity and abstract plasticity, the Strakonice Madonna anticipates a new conception of sculpture in the 14th century.
Mary’s head reacts only imperceptibly to the movement of her body and her face wears the expression of an immobile mask.
The austere nature of the sculpture is lightened by the gesture of the child and his tunic that is looser and pleated with greater movement.
The loving gesture of the Infant Jesus, who touches his mother’s chin with a finger of his right hand, is interpreted as a reference to medieval mysticism in the ‘Song of Songs’.
An interesting example of the use of Marian veneration can be seen in the uncovered left leg of the Infant Jesus that might have been fixed to a movable pivot.
According to Homolka, this sculpture has much in common with the decoration of the vestibule of Freiburg Minster as well as with the west façade of Strasbourg Cathedral.
The Strakonice Madonna dates from the period of post-classical Gothic, which was oriented towards linear stylisation and vertically composed, block-based form.
In Germany, this line is represented by the Naumburg Master (second quarter of the 13th century) and by the Erminold Master (1380s).
The Madonna of St Goëry in Épinal or the building workshop in Bamberg could have been the starting point for Rhineland sculpture.
The sculpture might have been commissioned by Bavor III (died 1318), owner of the Strakonice manor, supporter of Elizabeth of Bohemia and burgrave at the construction of the royal Zvíkov Castle, from where he summoned builders and stonemasons to the construction of Strakonice Castle.

Between Shanghai and St. Pauli (German: Zwischen Schanghai und St. Pauli, Italian: I rinnegati di Capitan Kidd) is a 1962 West German-Italian crime adventure film directed by Roberto Bianchi Montero and Wolfgang Schleif and starring Karin Baal, Joachim Hansen and Horst Frank.
This species is present in Central and Souther Europe (Andorra, Austria, Czech Republic, France, Italy, Slovakia, Spain and Switzerland) and in Eastern Palaearctic ecozone (southern Siberia: NE Kazakhstan, southern Altai, Mounts Ulbinski).
The antennae show a sexual dimorphism in their structure, as in males they are deeply serrated, while they are shallowly serrated in females.
It is made up of nine panel paintings depicting scenes from the Christological cycle: The Childhood of Christ, The Suffering of Christ and The Resurrection.
These paintings were made between 1345 and 1350 in the workshop of the Master of Vyšší Brod that was most probably based in Prague.
The pictures were either meant for a square altar retable or else they decorated the choir partition of the church of the Cistercian Abbey in Vyšší Brod.
This series of paintings is a rare example of a complete Gothic altar retable (although there is not complete agreement on the fact that it was a retable, in other words a structure standing on the altar – there have also been theories that it could have been hung on the choir pews or letner).
Having been returned to its former owner, the Cistercian Abbey in Vyšší Brod, it is being exhibited as a long-term loan in the permanent exhibition of the Collection of Medieval Art of the National Gallery in Prague.
Each of them is composed of three sycamore boards 2 cm thick that are joined with pegs and covered with linen canvas.
Especially in layering up the flesh tones, the Master of the Vyšší Brod Altarpiece used a complex system of layers and underpainting that was based in the Byzantine painting tradition and does not, therefore, have any parallels in Central European painting of that time.
The series features trios of connected scenes from the Christological cycle that are arranged so that the central one is that of the Crucifixion.
A series of motifs that the Master of the Vyšší Brod Altarpiece used for the first time in Bohemian painting conceals symbols relating to the Gospels, as well as to the Apocrypha and medieval theological texts (The Song of Songs and texts by St Bernard of Clairvaux).
The bottom row of paintings represents scenes from the childhood of Christ and relates to Advent (specifically the Annunciation of the spring festival on 25 March) and Christmas festivals.
The scene is accompanied by the customary symbols – a lily and Mary holding a veil (virginity), an open book (conception) and peacocks (immortality and eternity).
A series of other symbols provides various interpretations (God sending dew from heaven or manna in the desert; a coffer of money).
Mary on her throne thus represents the Virgin of the Temple of God protecting the Ark of the Covenant or else the Queen of Heaven, the throne also being her bed chamber.
A less evident symbol is the motif of a tree with a small double trunk in the left-hand part which refers to the trees of life and knowledge in paradise as well as to the double incarnation of Christ as God and man.
A notable secular feature of scene is that of the rich garment worn by the angel who comes across more like a courtier bringing the ruler’s insignia (an imperial orb).
The motif of the lily on a blue background that appears on the angel’s cloak originate in France and refers to the heraldry of the French rulers of the House of Valois.
Mary is portrayed not as a simple maiden but as a monarch on the throne with a crown on her head.
The scene as a whole could be connected with the coronation of Charles IV and Blanche of Valois as King and Queen of Bohemia at Prague Castle on 2 September 1347.
In the foreground, Joseph is preparing a bath with the midwife (called Salome in the Apocrypha) and in the background the archangel Gabriel is announcing the good tidings to the shepherds (the Annunciation to the Shepherds scene).
The active involvement of Joseph as a foster father in the events of the scene, specifically in the active care for the new-born baby, is relatively unusual in the first half of the 14th century although it does appear as early as the 13th century.
However it appears more often from the turn of the 14th century (for example with Joseph cooking porridge, preparing a bath, sewing and drying nappies, preparing food for Mary and feeding the donkey and ox).
It is not based in any literary sources and, in all likelihood, originated in the secular context of burgher society; we can also trace how it was received and reflected on in period ‘carols’ that, however, represent the foster father of Our Lord as a rather grotesque figure.
In all the scenes there is a multitude of small motifs that have their origin in Byzantine art mediated, or rather interpreted, by Italian masters.
Mary is reclining on a bed and kisses the infant on his lips in a manner that is connected with her mystic role as Christ’s bride in the Song of Songs in which Mary is the personification of the Christian Church.
The child’s nudity refers to his humanity and relates to efforts to humanise a religious theme that was propagated by the Franciscan Order.
In the bottom right-hand corner there kneels a donor whom the crest with its five-petalled rose identifies as member of the House of Rosenberg.
In his hand he is holding the model of a church – in all likelihood it is the abbey church at Vyšší Brod.
This scene repeats the analogous composition of the throne as it appears in the painting of the Annunciation and the customary model that was maintained during the 14th century, one in which kings or wise men represented three ages of man and the second king, of a virile age, sometimes takes the form of the ruling monarch.
It was only from the 1360s (or, more likely, from the early 15th century, because the black king in the Emmaus monastery painting was evidently a piece of Baroque overpainting) that the kings were more frequently portrayed as representatives of the three continents known at that time.
The motif of an old man kissing the hand of a small child, one that was rare outside France until then, is the expression of a spiritual bond with Christ and originates in the work Meditationes Vitae Christi that appeared in Bohemia during the reign of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor.
The Virgin Mary, obscuring one of the supporting pillars of the canopy, is symbolically presented as a pillar of the Christian Church.
The main element of the composition is formed by the diagonal of the mount’s slope with jagged rock faces and blossoming spring vegetation.
The picture represents a traditional iconographic arrangement with the praying Christ and three sleeping apostles: St Peter, St John and St James.
The goldfinch is often associated with the martyrdom of Christ, because it feeds on the seeds of thistles and metaphorically represents Christ’s crown of thorns.
In medieval legend, the bullfinch is associated with the Crucifixion and its red breast with drops of Christ’s blood refers to the moment the bullfinch pulled out a nail from the cross with its beak.
Several motifs, such as the fainting Mary, Mary Magdalene embracing the cross and flying angels with incense burners, originate in the Italian context.
The figures beneath the cross include St Longinus with a spear, Joseph of Arimathea, possibly also Nicodemus and the ‘good’ centurion leaning on his shield decorated with a human face (the ‘gorgoneion’).
It originally had an apotropaic function and could symbolically represent the opposites of Christ and the devil, the sun and the moon; and Christianity and paganism.
The symbolism could be directly influenced by the courtly environment of Charles IV, who kept part of Mary’s bloodied robe and the tip of St Longinus’s spear as holy relics.
Until the 14th century, the Lamentation was part of the scene of the Entombment and only appears separately in the Meditationes Vitae Christi and in Giotto’s fresco in the Scrovegni Chapel.
In the picture that, with the locating of the cross in the centre of the composition, refers back to the preceding Crucifixion, the strikingly independent Mary with Christ in her lap is an innovation made by the Master of the Vyšší Brod.
Mary is just about to kiss Jesus and here, as Our Lady of Sorrows, is once again a mother cradling her child in her lap.
The other figures originate in older, tradition depictions: St John, St Mary Magdalene, the two Marys – relatives of the Virgin Mary (half-sisters of the Virgin Mary, Mary Cleophas and Mary Salome), Nicodemus and a pair of angels holding incense burners.
This picture combines two events – the Resurrection of Jesus and the Three Marys by the tomb – which follow on from each other and whose joint presentation was rare in earlier painting.
The main scene was originally the Visitation – a depiction of three Marys by the empty tomb, where an angel appeared and told them of Christ’s resurrection (the Gospels of St Mark and St Matthew).
The resurrection of Christ is the most important Christian holiday, despite the fact that the Gospels don’t mention the scene itself.
It was only from the 12th and 13th centuries onwards that Christ was portrayed emerging from the sarcophagus and, later, standing on the sealed sarcophagus along with surprised soldiers who are guarding it.
The Resurrection is conceived as the triumph over death and its symbol is the banner of Christ, whose pole recalls the wood of the cross while the banner bearing the image of a lamb recalls Christ’s sacrifice.
The final two pictures relate to stories of the Ascension of Christ and the sending down of the Holy Spirit, which Christians celebrate as Pentecost.
The Ascension of the Lord is one of the central dogmas of Christianity (The Deeds of the Apostles) and is celebrated ten days before Pentecost.
It followed forty days after his Resurrection, when he appeared to Mary Magdalene and finally also to the apostles before God took him up to heaven.
Here, the painter deals with them in a conventional way and only depicts Christ’s lower legs as he ascends into the clouds.
At the centre of the depicted scene, which in Byzantine painting usually featured St Peter and St Paul, there sits the Virgin Mary with an open book.
The twelve apostles, upon whom the Holy Spirit descended in the form of tongues as of fire, were endowed with the gift of mastering the languages of all nations so they could spread the gospel.
The motif of the apostle who is placing his finger to his mouth as a symbol of silence was adopted from Italian art, in which it represents an allegory of obedience or patience.
The entire series is chiefly the work of the Master of the Vyšší Brod Altarpiece, who has a distinctive painting style.
His figures are substantial; they stand firmly on the ground and their movement and poses are depicted in a believable way.
Apart from the master in charge, it is probable that three other painters worked on the series as a whole – the first two were a young and able collaborator and a capable but stylistically inconsistent collaborator who painted the panel depicting the Sending Down of the Holy Spirit.
In terms of painting technique, the weakest work of the series is the Ascension which, however, also displays several highly developed features such as a greater individualisation of the faces.
The pictures of the Vyšší Brod Master are a synthesis of the Italianate style, whose strikingly Byzantine features reached Bohemia from the region of Venice in particular, and of the Western European Gothic drawing-based style that originated in France.
Earlier works that could have inspired its painters include book illustrations (Jean Pucelle, Bolognese illuminators active in St Florian), murals (the choir of the cathedral in Cologne), panel painting (Meister der Rückseite des Verduner Altars) and sculpture (the Master of the Michle Madonna).
Several works created by other artists (Antependium of Königsfelden, Kaufmann Crucifixion) have motifs that are so similar that it can be speculated that they used the same models.
The iconographic conception that, in groups of works, depicts the most important moments in the life of Christ, is based in cycles by the leading painters of the Italian Trecento – Giotto and Duccio.
Italian influences manifest themselves especially in the painting technique, the retreat of the drawing-based approach and a greater plasticity of the figures, decorative patterns, the typology of the heads and the more highly developed depiction of the landscape and architecture.
The affinity between the painting of the Vyšší Brod Master and the artistic and spiritual climate of Venice, represented by his contemporary Paolo Veneziano, is especially striking.
Several motifs of the Vyšší Brod series were subsequently adopted by Bohemian book painting, in particular Velislai biblia picta (before 1349) and the Legend of St Hedwig, Liber viaticus by John of Neumarkt (1350-1364) and the Missal of John of Neumarkt.
In panel painting, it was followed on from by the painter of Morgan panels and, in a broader circle, the altar at Tirol Castle, the Westphalian Master Bertram (Grabow Altarpiece), the painter who created the Toruń Altarpiece and the altarpiece of Erfurt by Meister des Erfurter Einhornaltars.
The motif of Mary’s bloodied robe is connected almost exclusively with the Bohemian context and appears in the work of the Master of the Třeboň Altarpiece, the Master of the Rajhrad Altarpiece and persisted until the mid-15th century.
Its donor was in all likelihood Petr I of Rosenberg, the Supreme Royal Chamberlain, Supreme Judge and executor of John of Luxemburg’s will.
The donor’s personal reason could have been to intercede for the salvation of the soul of his son, who died alongside John of Luxemburg at the Battle of Crécy.
In 1938, before the outbreak of the Second World War, the altarpiece was transferred to the Picture Gallery (the Collection of Old Art of what would later become the National Gallery in Prague).
During the war, however, it was stolen by the Nazis and stored in the Vyšší Brod Abbey along with other works.
At the end of the war, the altarpiece was discovered by the American army in a salt mine in Bad-Aussee, Austria, along with other artworks.
In 2014 it was returned as part of restitution to the Cistercian Abbey in Vyšší Brod and is now on long-term loan to the Prague National Gallery.

The Litoměřice Altarpiece (1505-1507) was a large altar retable, in all likelihood with two pairs of movable wings and two pairs of fixed ones.
The altar wing depicting Christ on the Mount of Olives belongs to the Diocese of Litoměřice, while the other panels are owned by the Regional Museum in Litoměřice.
It is the largest surviving set of panel paintings by an anonymous late Gothic and early Renaissance painter called the Master of the Litoměřice Altarpiece.
The first proposal as to how the altarpiece might have been arranged, one that didn’t include the panel depicting Christ on the Mount of Olives, was made by Vincenc (Vinzenz) Luksch, the then director of the Diocese Museum, in 1900.
He placed the Crucifixion in the middle of the altar; on both sides he placed two single-sided panels as fixed wings, the Flagellation of Christ on the left and the Crowning with Thorns on the right.
When the altarpiece was opened, it would show the Passion of Christ and, when closed, it would show scenes from the life of Mary: the Visitation of the Virgin Mary and the Birth of Christ.
The overall width of the open altarpiece would be about 5.5 metres which is why Luksch considered that the panels might not have created an altarpiece but could, alternatively, have been individual Stations of the Cross.
The art historian Jaroslav Pešina attempted a different reconstruction of the altarpiece on the basis of a comparison with the altar retable from the castle chapel at Křivoklát.
Pešina assumed that a receptacle with sculptural decoration formed the centre of the altarpiece that was most probably consecrated to the Virgin Mary.
Placed in pairs above each other on both sides, the movable wings depicted not just the surviving scenes of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary and the Birth of Christ (right-hand side), but hypothetically also scenes showing the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary and the Sacrifice of Christ (left-hand side).
The closed altarpiece showed eight scenes from the Passion of Christ in two rows, one above the other; of these, the surviving panels (from the left) are: Christ on the Mount of Olives and the Crowning of Christ with Thorns, Christ before Annas and Christ Carrying the Cross, the Flagellation of Christ and the Crucifixion.
Ladislav Kesner assumed that the altarpiece had a predella with the theme of Christ in the Winepress or else the Lamentation of Christ.
In the centre he assumed there to be a scene showing the Last Supper and, on the missing left-hand movable wings, the Annunciation and Flight to Egypt on the inner side and Ecce Homo instead of Christ before Pilate on the outer side.
The altarpiece panels painted on one side that make up the fixed wings have dimensions of 177 x 121 cm (172 x 130 cm respectively).
The altarpiece as a whole, including the lost middle part, the predella and the altarpiece attachment, could have thus measured (including the frames) about 6 metres in height and about 5 metres in width.
The most recent restoration, which repaired defects such as inappropriate restoration made in 1931 and 1945-46, took place between the 1950s and 1970s.
Older art-historical publications detected in the panels of the Litoměřice Altarpiece the influence of Saxon painting and a relationship to the painting of Hanus Elfeldar, Bartholomäus Zeitblom, Hans Holbein the Elder and Bernhard Strigel.
The painting style of the Master of the Litoměřice Altarpiece is based in the early Gothic, however it also employs certain elements of the early Renaissance.
Its compositions are loosely modelled on the prints of the Master E.S., Israhel van Meckenem, Albrecht Dürer, Hans Schäufelein and Martin Schongauer which it creatively remodels.
In order to create a deeper sense of space, it uses simple, diagonally constructed architectural backdrops with alternately illuminated and shaded areas depicted in empirical perspective.
The contrast of the austere architecture with naturalist details points to the lesson of Italian Renaissance painting, either directly (Bellini) or indirectly (Michael Pacher).
On the basis of differences in execution of how the figures are painted, and, assuming that the landscapes were painted by a specialist, Vladěna Haragová concludes that the altarpiece was created in a painting workshop where, as well as the Master of the Litoměřice Altarpiece, there worked at least two other painters.
Pešina also states that several figures of the Passion series are characterised by a more common form of execution as well as by defects in the drawing, which points to the involvement of journeymen painters.
The balanced composition of the individual paintings is reduced to several key protagonists and the accompanying action is presented on a diminished scale in the background.
They don’t demonstrate their feelings in too ostentatious a way and reinforce the action with economical gestures of their arms and hands.
The faces of the figures have sharp-chiselled features with pronounced cheekbones, high foreheads, full lips, expressive noses and eyes with swollen eyelids.
Both the bared body of Christ and the figures portrayed in close-fitting clothes show how well the painter was acquainted with human anatomy and how he understood the function of the muscles and joints.
The colour scale of the paintings is characterised by a wealth of shades, contrasts of cool and warm tones and a colourist inventiveness.
The clothes of the figures in the foreground use the contrast of rich colour tones ranging from vermillion red, sulphur yellow and an entire spectrum of greens to black and purple.
Its direction is represented by the lit areas of the architecture, the shading of draperies and faces, as well as by the striking triangular shadows on the floor.
The drapery of several of the figures still retains late Gothic decorative articulation with its deep or doubly-bent folds without direct connection to the volume of the body.
Another Gothic element can be seen in the full halos, the gilded background and a certain disproportion in the depiction of part of the body.
The deepening of the pictorial space with landscape sceneries is a significant innovation that the painter most probably brought back with him from a study trip to the Danube region, where he would have been able to acquaint himself with the works of Jörg Breu and Rueland Frueauf the Elder and Younger.
[14] The painter’s attention to detail, such as wrinkles, sprouting whiskers, knots in wood and coils of rope, are characteristic of the early Renaissance style of painting.
The praying Christ before the cliff with a Eucharist chalice and an angel create the uppermost tip of a triangular composition in whose foreground there lie and sit sleeping apostles.
Despite the fact that the entire altarpiece is a stylistically unified whole, the composition of this picture, its unifying of space and the masterly execution of the heads and hands, stands out with its quality from the other panels.
The light coming from the right-hand side is represented by the small triangular shadows of their legs that, along with fragments of the cane, articulate the area of the floor.
The fourth person in the spot where the painting is heavily damaged has his back turned to us and is giving Christ a bulrush as a sceptre.
On the left-hand side, Mary Magdalene in white turban and another woman in a green maphorion are looking up at the cross.
In the foreground of the composition, St John is supporting the Virgin Mary, who has fainted and whose arms hang limply.
On the right-hand side stands Joseph of Arimathea in a rich fur-lined robe; St Longinus, whose spear is being held by Joseph; and a Roman centurion.
The decorative rendering of Christ’s robe with its billowing tips appears in late Gothic, for example in the work of Martin Schongauer and Lucas Cranach the Elder (1503).
In contrast to earlier interpretations stating that the picture portrayed Christ before Caiaphas, according to Jan Royt it is in fact the theme of Christ before Annas (according to St John’s Gospel), because Caiaphas is usually shown in a robe torn at the chest or with a mitre (Giotto, Dürer).
A group of armed men with torches has brought Christ, his hands tied, and turn to the enthroned high priest with gestures of their arms and hands.
The panel is damaged, having been cut down to a smaller size; it is consequently missing most of the figure holding the rope.
Christ looks back at a man holding a lamp with a burning candle – this man with a lamp is modelled on an engraving by Martin Schongauer.
A view through to the street beyond shows a group of armed men in front of whom an old man, probably St Peter, is crossing.
In the scene of the Visitation, the colour contrast of the richly folded drapery of both figures and the white head-veil of St Elizabeth provide the dominant artistic element.
Beyond a low wall, a landscape enlivened with cliffs covered with trees and vegetation unfolds into distant space; beyond, we can see a church and a half-built tower under scaffolding.
The slender and subtly modelled fingers of the Virgin Mary cast a shadow corresponding to light coming from the right-hand side.
In the foreground, a soldier with a spear is lifting up the flagging Christ while another man is about to hit Christ with a cudgel.
Christ is accompanied by a praying Virgin Mary and a weeping St John the Evangelist who has a resigned expression on his face.
Its composition has much in common with a later painting by an unknown master of the Danube School (c. 1520) that is in the collection of the Slovak National Gallery.
The Adoration of Christ takes place against the background of simple architecture beyond which there unfolds a landscape with a church, cliffs and a lake.
The naked Baby Jesus lies on a white swaddling cloth and, behind him, two kneeling angels hold a blank inscription band.
Portrayed in profile, his head is disproportionately small compared with Mary as well as with the size of his own body.
The lovely face of the Virgin Mary, similar to loving Madonnas, is different to the portrayal of Mary in other panels of the altarpiece.
The depiction of Baby Jesus on the bare ground is a motif stemming from the Franciscan mysticism and refers to ‘the Vision of Saint Bridget of Sweden’.
It could have been commissioned for the capitular Cathedral of St Stephen in Litoměřice by Jan of Vartenberk, provost of the Chapter of St Vitus for whom the painter also made a votive picture (1508, known only from a later copy).
Like the Master of the Křivoklát Altarpiece in whose workshop he trained, the Master of the Litoměřice Altarpiece also worked for the royal court.
He made the wall paintings in the St Wenceslas Chapel of St Vitus Cathedral, which means that the altarpiece could have come from a Prague church.
Among those worth considering are St Vitus Cathedral and the Premonstratensian Canonry at Strahov that commissioned an altar triptych from the artist.
According to documents quoted by Lippert in 1871, Jiří Vilém Herold of Stod, a citizen of Litoměřice and a royal magistrate, donated the panels to the diocese Church of All Saints in Litoměřice in 1633.
In 1920 Luksch recognised that the painting of Christ on the Mount of Olives that had, until then, hung in the Church of All Saints, also belonged to the altarpiece.
It is a one-and-a-half-story Queen Anne-style house, one of three Queen Annes at the intersection of Colorado Ave. and Willow St. in Trinidad.

Lake Walsh is a fresh water body crossed to the west on by the discharge current from Fragrasso Lake in Jacques-Cartier National Park.
This lake is located entirely in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in province of Quebec, in Canada.
The Walsh Lake watershed is mainly served on the east side by the route 175 which links the towns of Quebec and Saguenay.
A few secondary roads serve this area for forestry and recreational tourism activities, notably forest road 12 which runs north of the lake and in the area between Fragrasso Lake and lac Walsh.
The surface of lake Walsh is generally frozen from early December to late March; safe circulation on the ice is generally done from the end of December to the beginning of March.
This lake between the mountains looks like a large inverted V. Lake Walsh crossed west on by the current from the outlet of Fragrasso Lake, to the dam at its mouth.
The Sautauriski Lake is located on the northeast side of Walsh Lake; Fragrasso Lake is located on the northeast side of the lake; and the course of the Jacques-Cartier River goes to on the west side of the lake.
A water regulation dam was built in 2005 at the mouth of Walsh Lake allowing a water retention height of for a reservoir capacity of .
From the mouth of Walsh Lake, the current first descends on to the west, then branches off to the north, where the water discharges at the bottom of the west bay of lac des Alliés.
From there, the current goes up on towards the north, to join the current coming from the discharge of the Rocheuse River (coming from the north).
From there, the current successively follows the course of the Rocheuse River on ; on towards the southwest by following the course of the rivière du Malin; then on generally towards the south along the current of the Jacques-Cartier River to the northeast bank of the Saint-Laurent river.

The 29th Motor Torpedo Boat Flotilla was a motor torpedo boat (MTB) flotilla manned and crewed by Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) reservists in service with the Coastal Forces of the Royal Navy during the Second World War.
The 29th MTB Flotilla had a short & distinguished history in the English Channel, including action during the landings at Normandy in 1944.
Tasked with escorting a clandestine mine gathering expedition to the German controlled Normandy coast, on 16 May 1944 the Canadian MTBs proceeded to the French Coast along with two British MTBs, protecting them as volunteers were landed ashore by outboards to lift sample mines from the German beach defence.
Between 20–22 May 1944, the 29th MTB Flotilla joined RCN Tribal-class destroyers and the 65th MTB Flotilla in intercepting enemy coastal convoys in the English Channel.
During the Normandy invasion on June 6, 1944, the 29th Flotilla was tasked with guarding the east flank of the invasion fleets, while the 65th Flotilla was assigned to protect the western flank.
Following the invasion, the MTBs of the 29th Flotilla patrolled the 15 km distance between the eastern edge of the assault area and the German naval base at Le Havre.
Each night three or four Canadian MTBs waited until larger Allied ships tracked the German surface ships attempting either to attack the allied assault area or transport supplies into Le Havre.
The 29th Flotilla was disbanded shortly after five Canadian boats were sunk & twenty-six sailors were killed by an explosion while alongside at Ostend, on 14 February 1945.

A chapel dedicated to the Holy Trinity has existed at Godney since the 12th century, when one was in possession of Glastonbury Abbey.
The chapel was abandoned by 1675 and a new place of worship was established at a new site by Peter Davis in 1737.
By 1838, Godney had a population of 270, but the chapel was in a poor state of repair and could only accommodate 80.
The church was rebuilt in 1839–41 to the designs of George Phillips Manners of Bath and was consecrated by the Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Right Rev.
The church was in need of restoration by the beginning of the 20th century, with the flooring, seating and gallery being in poor condition.
The work, which included the construction of a chancel, was carried out in 1903 by Messrs J. Merrick and Son of Glastonbury with supervision by Mr. Buckle.
The work cost £700 to £800 and included the removal of the gallery and installation of new pews of pitch pine.
The Bishop of Bath and Wells, who had attended the chancel's foundation stone ceremony, had agreed to perform the reopening service, but was unable to attend due to illness.
It was built by the Positive Organ Company for £150 and funded by public subscription and a £60 donation from the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.
On 22 October 1911, an oak screen, erected to form a vestry at the west end of the nave, was dedicated by the Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Right Rev.
Repairs were carried out in 1980 for a cost of £2,700, which included the replacement of plasterwork and repair of the roof.
It was originally made up of a three-bay nave, east vestry and south porch, with a gallery at the west end of nave and a bellcote on the west gable.
The apsidal chancel was added in 1903, replacing the original east vestry, and a new vestry was formed at the west end of the nave.
With the rebuilding of the church in 1839, heraldic glass of late 16th century origin was installed from a house recently demolished at Lillington.

The Sautauriski Lake is located on the northeast side of Lake Fragasso; the lac Walsh is located on the southwest side of the lake; and the course of the Jacques-Cartier River goes to on the west side of the lake.
From the mouth of lake Fragasso, the current first descends on to reach Walsh Lake, then successively on westwards crossing Walsh Lake, on to the west, then branches off to the north, where the water discharges at the bottom of the west bay of lac des Alliés.
From there, the current goes up on towards the north, to join the current coming from the discharge of the Rocheuse River (coming from the north).
From there, the current successively follows the course of the Rocheuse River on ; on towards the southwest by following the course of the rivière du Malin; then on generally towards the south along the current of the Jacques-Cartier river to the northeast bank of the Saint-Laurent river.
In addition to having participated in the construction of the Quebec bridge around 1913, this engineer erected several dams, notably those at Jacques-Cartier lakes in the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve, and Sautauriski, located in Jacques-Cartier National Park.

It used to believed that treatments for migraine would work in menstrual migraine but that has not proven to be the case because menstrual migraines are harder to treat.
In 2008, menstrual migraines were given ICD-9 codes (346.4-346.43) of their own which separate menstrual migraine from other types of migraine.
About 40% of women and 20% of men will get a migraine at sometime in their life; most of them will get their first migraine before they are 35-years-old.
Menstrual-related migraines happen in more than 50 percent of women who have migraine headaches.Menstrual migraine attacks usually last longer than other migraine attacks, and short-term treatments do not work as well with menstrual migraine as they do in other kinds of migraine.
They are usually migraines without aura, but in 2012 a case of menstrual migraine with aura was reported, so it is possible.
Auras are a kind of condition which affect certain parts of the brain, usually the parts that control vision but they can also affect the parts of the brain which control the other senses like touch, motor control (moving parts of the body) and the parts of the brain that control speech.
Often, having one medical condition makes it more likely a person will also have one or more other medical or psychiatric disorders.
The estrogen level may fall after bleeding occurs during the menstrual cycle or when external sources of estrogen are no longer taken, like when a woman stops taking birth control pills or hormone pills in hormone replacement therapy.
The diagnosis of a menstrual migraine is made by keeping track of when the migraines occur for a period of at least three months.
Menstrually related migraine attacks occur usually between 2 days before and 3 days after the start of menstruation in at least 2 out of 3 menstrual cycles (periods) in a row.
Pure menstrual migraine and menstrually related migraine are both migraines without auras with one exceptionnally rare case with aura reported in 2012.
The answer to the first question has to be yes and there has to be at least one yes answer to either question 2 or question 3.

The lac à l'Épaule (English: shoulder lake) is a freshwater body crossed from north to south by the Rivière à l'Épaule, in Jacques-Cartier National Park.
This lake is located entirely in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in province of Quebec, in Canada.
The Lac à l'Épaule watershed is mainly served on the east side by the route 175 which links the cities of Quebec and Saguenay; this road goes to east of the lake.
The surface of Lac à l'Épaule is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; safe circulation on the ice is generally done from the end of December to the beginning of March.
The Lac à l'Épaule is located on the west side of the Morency River course and on the east side of the course of the Jacques-Cartier River.
From the mouth of Lac à l'Épaule, the current of the rivière à l'Épaule goes down on towards the southwest to Jacques-Cartier River where it flows at the foot of the Épaule mountain.
Then the current descends on generally towards the south by borrowing the current from the Jacques-Cartier River to the northeast bank of the Saint-Laurent river.
Its meaning remains uncertain, however the main hypothesis considered describes that the shoulder (shoulder) could here designate a flat with a fairly gentle slope used to connect two valleys whose level differs.
This area was frequented in the 17th century by Jesuits who went, by a path traced by the Innu, to lac Saint-Jean.
This sector, on the outskirts of the settlers' settlements, has undergone some attempts to clear it, because abattis were spotted there in 1867.
Lac à l'Épaule hosted, in the summer of 1943, Sir Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, gathered in Quebec for an Allied conference.
A landmark event in contemporary history took place there in September 1962 and made the expression make, hold a shoulder-to-shoulder famous.

Charles Philips (c.1703–1747) was an English artist known for painting a number of portraits and conversation pieces for noble and Royal patrons in the mid-eighteenth century.
George Vertue notes that 'in painting small figure portraits & conversations [which] has met with great encouragement amongst People of Fashion—even some of ye Royal Family'.
Throughout the 1730s these conversation pieces increased in complexity with the subjects becoming more numerous and engaging in more varied activities.
Following the example set by fellow painters of small scale conversation pieces such as Philippe Mercier and William Hogarth, Philips moved into the more lucrative field of portrait painting in the latter part of the decade.
In 1737 he reached the height of his career when he painted the Prince and Princess of Wales in a pair of full-length portraits.
The first, dated 1732, shows Frederick, Prince of Wales with members of 'La Table Ronde', and once hung at Carlton House.
The known body of his work can be dated entirely to the 1730s, with little known of his later life or any later work.
Shizuki apprenticed under Ryoei Motoki (who had translated and interpreted Copernicus's works) in Nagasaki, which at that time was a rare hub for Japanese intellectuals to obtain and discuss Western ideas.
Motoki and Shizuki collaborated on translations of Dutch scientific treatises, and helped introduce and popularize Newtonian mechanics to Japanese scholars, as well as ideas about planetary motion and calendrics ultimately derived from Copernicus and Johannes Kepler.
Shizuki's commentaries draw heavily from John Keill's, though Shizuki also generated his own ideas in his commentaries, and sought to reconcile Western philosophies of science with traditional Confucian metaphysical ideas.
Several of the Japanese terms that Shizuki used in translating Newtonian mechanical ideas, including those for gravity and centripetal force, were adopted into the Japanese scientific lexicon and remain in common use.
Rhona Valerie Rapoport (29 January 1927 - 24 November 2011) was an South African social scientist known for her research into work-life balance Rapoport 60 years of research and writing focused on work, life, gender, equity and diversity.

Rhona's approach brought together the worlds of psychology and sociology in order to explore the connection between home and work life.
Rapoport's research appeared at a time when business and governments were trying to address inequalities in the workplace, and helped to develop policies and legislation.
Her work at the Ford Foundation moved to address the 'worklife' balance issue raising this issue and developing understanding and leading to greater flexibility in many different counties.

Zerah C. Whipple (1 September 1849–12 September 1879) was a Rogerene American Christian pacifist, war tax resister, and developer of educational methods for the deaf.
In the Summer of 1874, Whipple was jailed by the Ledyard, Connecticut tax collector, Christopher Gallup, for his refusal to pay a military tax (in this case, a fine assessed on men who did not participate in the state militia).
After several days, a stranger who had heard about the case paid the tax and costs in order to have Whipple released.
Whipple's grandfather Jonathan Whipple had also been threatened with arrest many years before, for the same reason (refusal either to serve in or pay a fine to the militia for reasons of conscientious objection to war), but in his case the threat was not carried through.

The Pamir alpine desert and tundra ecoregion (WWF ID:PA1014) covers the high plateau of the Pamir Mountains, at the central meeting of the great mountain ranges of Central Asia: Himalaya, Karakoram, Hindu Kush, Kunlun, and Tian Shan.
It is a region of relatively high biodiversity due to its central location and high elevation differentials, but it also acts as a barrier between the climate and habitats of north and south Asia.
The ecoregion is mostly located in the eastern region of Tajikistan, on a high plateau with broad valleys and steeply-sloping mountains.
Major mountain ranges radiate outwards: the Tian Shan to the northeast, Hindu Kush to the west, Karakoram to the south and Himalyas to the south and east.
The Pamir also sit in the middle of different climates and habitats: the Alai woodlands to the west and north, and the dry Tarim Basin to the east.
Several notable species of mammals inhabit the area, including the vulnerable Snow leopard, the endangered Himalayan brown bear subspecies, the near-endangered Marco Polo sheep, and various other types of sheep and goats.

Carolina has spent the last eight years in a coma after being in a car accident in which her husband was driving.
The doctors don't believe she would ever wake up and wanted to disconnect her from the machines that kees her alive, but neither her husband or her sister allowed it.
Artur and Carolina feel completely lost in the world they wake up, having many questions to answer and struggling to leave the past behind.
Both companies found it very difficult to adapt to the post war economic situation and by 1923 Clayton and Shuttleworth's Eastern European trade had shrunk to 6% of its pre-War level.
After the war, Philip Warwick Robson, the chairman of Clayton and Shuttleworth, oversaw the reorganisation of the firm, and the new company Clayton Wagons Ltd was created.
A prospectus for the new company was issued in April 1920 and one million pounds in shares, split between preference shares and ordinary shares, were issued.
Shareholders were promised that the turnover would be £1.5 million a year and the buildings and equipment, which had been largely purchased with Government funding during the war, was valued at £696,000, and was of the most modern type.
It was noted that the sale of steam motor vehicles was likely to be very successful and that over 1,000 had been manufactured since 1912 and that Abbey Works was already equipped for railway carriage and rolling stock production, for which there was a worldwide demand.
The second year was not so successful, but there were further orders for Pullman Cars, The report and balance-sheet showed a trading profit for the year of 48,909, but £39,725 had been written off stocks, and a loss of £417,831 had to be carried forward, no dividends being declared on either Preference or Ordinary share capital.
Mr. P. W. Robson, the Chairman of the Company, in moving the adoption of the report, said that in spite of the unsatisfactory effect of the year's workings, he had no reason to alter the view he expressed last year that, under anything approaching normal conditions, the results justified the fullest confidence in the Company.
It had to be recognised that the industrial crisis had gone from bad to worse in most branches of engineering, and especially in the heavy trades.
In October 1925 the capitalisation of Clayton Wagons had been written down to half a million pounds and no dividends had been paid on the shares.The production of Dewandre Servo brakes had commenced in the Titanic works and were being used in Daimler and other motor cars.
The fact that profit of over £20,700 was made, compared with £728 in 1925, is clear proof that with normal conditions existing in the industrial field, further progress is assured.
However, the Company’s trade did not pick up and a group of petitioners applied for the voluntary liquidation at the Companies Winding-up Court, but this was dismissed.
Clayton wagons were also building oil tank wagons for Shell-Mex and tank wgons were also exported for use by the Egyptian State Railway and South African Railways.
Three of the Pullman coaches which were manufactured for the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway in 1922 still survive and two of these are under restoration at the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway.
The company took over the motor engineering business of Clayton Wagons in the Titanic Works, together with certain plant of Clayton & Shuttleworth.
The first Company report was issued in December 1929 and showed a profit of £16,694.The success and profitability of the business rose rapidly and by the 8th company report in 1937 an 8% dividend was being paid on the shares.
Richard Duckering Ltd. of the Waterside Works, Lincoln then undertook to supply spares for railcars and shunting locomotives, but this was to pass to Stanley Reid Devlin, who had been Chief Draughtsman at Clayton Wagons, who in 1931 founded the Clayton Equipment Company, who still operate from the Centrum Business Park in Burton upon Trent https://claytonequipment.co.uk/].

Hilary Joan Arnold Godwin (born December 1, 1967) is a Professor in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences at the University of Washington and the Dean of the School of Public Health.
She was inspired to become a scientist by her family and Jane Goodall, a primatologist who studied chimpanzee behaviour in the 1960s.
She earned an undergraduate degree in chemistry at the University of Chicago in 1989, where she was part of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society.
She was the first woman to be hired into a tenure-track position, and in 2004 was the first woman to be made Chair of the Chemistry Department.
In the collar counties of Chicago, houses were built before the federal government of the United States passed a law banning lead paint.
Godwin became concerned about the levels of lead in her family home, and particularly the risk that her son would suffer from lead poisoning.
She showed that the mechanism by which lead modifies the function of proteins occurs through the displacement of zinc and calcium.
This observation is of particular relevance for understanding how lead poisoning impacts children, as zinc binding proteins are of important in child development.
Godwin acted as Associate Dean in the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health from 2008 to 2011 and again from 2014 to 2018.
In 2018 Godwin was elected Dean of the University of Washington School of Public Health, and started the position in July 15.
In this capacity she has led open public health forums, including discussions about the relationship between public health and homelessness, and connected various stakeholders to the University of Washington Population Health Initiative.
Whilst at Northwestern University Godwin was awarded $1 million from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute program to support students move between high school and college.
She was particularly involved with initiatives that assessed lead poisoning in Chicago's soils, which inspired her focus her research in public health.
The men's 200 metres event at the 1987 Summer Universiade was held at the Stadion Maksimir in Zagreb on 16 and 17 July 1987.
She worked as a cook for President Thomas Jefferson at the White House and was chief cook at Jefferson's estate, Monticello.
Although her husband, Joseph Fossett, was freed in Thomas Jefferson's will, she and their ten children were put up for auction in 1827.
Edith had a brother, Thursten, who was also trained by Mr. Julien at the White House and was then owned by Thomas Jefferson Randolph, Jefferson's grandson.
Jefferson, who was Minister to France from 1784 to 1789, enjoyed French cuisine, but employing a French chef was financially out of reach for him.
Jefferson therefore had French chefs train a few enslaved people to cook for him, starting with James Hemings who became his head chef at Hôtel de Langeac, his residence in Paris.
When Thomas Jefferson was President, he brought Edith and Fanny to Washington, D.C. in 1802 where they learned to cook at the President's House.
She worked in Washington for nearly seven years and gave birth to three children while at the President's House: James, Maria, and a child who did not survive to adulthood.
Fossett returned to Monticello in 1809 at the end of Jefferson's presidential term and became the chief cook, where she cooked for 12 to 25 people each day and up to 57 people during special occasions.
Edith and Fanny regularly cooked for Martha Jefferson Randolph and her children, Anna Scott Marks and her three children, and Jefferson.
Coffee beans were roasted, hot chocolate made from blocks of hard chocolate, dinners were made with three or four meats and fish, and every meal had four desserts.
To plan their menus, the women met with the enslaved head gardner, Wormley Hughes, to determine what was fresh or soon to come in from the berry patches, vegetable gardens, and the orchards.
In the summer of 1806, while Jefferson was visiting Monticello and Edith was in Washington, Joseph received word that there was disturbing news at the White House.
On July 29, 1806, Joseph escaped from Monticello and Jefferson thought that he may have been headed towards Washington, D.C. to be with Edith.
Slaves did not generally receive pay at Monticello, but as a manager of the blacksmith shop, Joseph received a percentage of the shop's profits.
He made tools for local farmers, shod horses, and made all the metal parts for a carriage designed in 1814 by Thomas Jefferson.
The Fossett, Bell, and Scott families were only able to come up with enough money for Edith and two children at that time.
Joseph, with the help of his mother, Mary Hemings Bell, freed Edith, five of their children, and four grandchildren in 1837.
The Tifft Nature Preserve is a 264 acre nature preserve in Buffalo, New York, and one of the largest municipal nature preserves in New York.

Building Back Better (BBB) is an approach to post-disaster recovery aimed at increasing the resilience of nations and communities to future disasters and shocks.
The Build Back Better approach integrates disaster risk reduction measures into the restoration of physical infrastructure, social systems, and shelter and into the revitalization of livelihoods, economies, and the environment.
As a guiding principle uniting post-disaster recovery with sustainable development, it was adopted by the UN Member States as one of four priorities for disaster risk reduction in the Sendai Framework.
The concept of building back better has its roots in the improvement of land use, spatial planning, and construction standards through the recovery process.
The concept has broadened to represent a broader opportunity, to not just restore what was damaged or lost to the impact of disasters, but to build greater resilience in recovery by systematically addressing the root causes of vulnerability.
Recently reports such as the Triple Dividend of Resilience, and the World Bank report Building Back Better: Achieving resilience through stronger, faster, and more inclusive post-disaster reconstruction have estimated the benefits quantitatively in terms of losses avoided - as much as USD $173 billion per year, or 31 percent of well-being losses can be avoided.
During recovery, the state government established the Odisha State Disaster Mitigation Authority (OSDMA) to help facilitate building back better though programs such as adding over 1,500 km of new evacuation roads, 30 bridges to better connect vulnerable communities, and 200 km of improvements to existing coastal embankments.
When Odisha was hit by another powerful cyclone (Phailin) in 2013, 50 people lost their lives, but it was less than 1 % of the prior event's toll.
In Madagascar, farmers benefited as much as 4.5 times of income after the risk of flooding was reduced through watershed protection in Mantadia National Park.

cost of rock walls/km) by maintaining the mangrove swamps intact for storm protection and flood control, it has also lowered temperature in the area.
In support of countries and communities in implementing Priority Four, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction has issued a volume of its Words into Action guidelines for building back better.
While there can be no standardized blueprint for building back better, the guidelines instead offer step-by-step guidance on developing disaster recovery frameworks, pre-disaster recovery planning, and post-disaster needs assessment - steps viewed as critical enablers to faster, more efficient, and more effective recovery.

Neglected tropical diseases in India (NTDs) are a group of bacterial, parasitic, viral, and fungal infections that are common in low income countries but receive little funding to address them.
The neglected tropical diseases which especially affect India include ascariasis, hookworm infection, trichuriasis, dengue fever, lymphatic filariasis, trachoma, cysticercosis, leprosy, echinococcosis, visceral leishmaniasis, and rabies.
Diseases on the WHO list which are not a problem for India are Chagas disease, human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), foodborne trematodiases, onchocerciasis (river blindness), schistosomiasis, Chikungunya, Buruli ulcer, and yaws (endemic treponematoses).
The steps to eliminating the disease include passive and active case detection, early diagnosis and treatment, and vector control integrated into medical treatment.
Around year 2000 there were reports that parasites which cause kala-azar had developed drug resistance to pentavalent antimonial, which was the popular drug for treating this disease for the last 50 years.
In 2017 the Indian government had contained kala-azar in certain regions with the goal of providing easy access to medical treatment to completely eliminate it from the country.
Physicians use a drug to treat kala-azar both before and after the patient seems cured, but take care to use a safe amount.
The work that health agencies in India have done to reduce kala-azar are learning models for India or any other country to apply to other public health programs to eliminate infectious disease.
The World Health Organization estimated that in 2015, 75% of the children in India who had Soil-transmitted helminthiasis also got treatment.
For the patient, one of the major costs of treating the disease is having to take a lot of time off work.
Men and women can get this disease equally, but in the past, there have been barriers to women accessing treatment in the normal way.
Following some missed deadlines in 2015 and before a 2020 target date for eliminating LF, various media outlets discussed how India might meet the goal or what it should happen next if more time is required.
A 1952 paper described the disease present in an Indian village and how WHO investigators treated the disease and tried to identify its source.
To determine whether someone requires treatment for rabies or only treatment for the bite, the physician should have information about the incidence of rabies in animals in the area.
A 2012 paper argued that there was now enough information about rabies in India to plan to contain and prevent the disease nationally.
While these programs reduced the number of people in India with leprosy from 58 in 10,000 to 1 in 10,000, they did not eliminate leprosy entirely.
A 2018 study reported that India does well at detecting leprosy in poor areas, but more often misses cases in places with more money.
This success in India led to excite for other countries to also try to eliminate yaws by year 2020 using techniques which India developed.
In 2019 physicians identified a case of Buruli ulcer in India, but the patient was from Nigeria where the disease is present.
The four snakes in India which account for most bites are the Indian cobra, common krait, Russell’s viper, and saw-scaled viper.
Designing antivenom is a challenge because different snakes require different antivenom to treat, and there are many types of snakes in India.
Because of this, many people who receive a snakebite treat their illness with less medical urgency than they would some other disease.
A 2010 review of snake bite in India found that there is underreporting of the problem and also insufficient health care treatment available.
Treatment which should be available but which are sometimes hard to get includes a whole blood clotting test and a venom detection kit.
The region also has about a third of rabies deaths and a quarter of the South Asia, in addition to one-third of the rabies deaths, one-quarter of the intestinal helminth infections.
As of 2014 there was not good information about dengue and Japanese encephalitis, but these diseases are a major burden in India also.
The Global Burden of Disease Study is a regularly updated report which attempts to describe the extent to which each major disease in the world affects individuals with those diseases.

The government of India collaborates with the World Health Organization in making financial investments in health care for the purpose of reducing and eliminating NTDs in India.
In 2005, the Indian Health Ministry, Bangladeshi Health Ministry, and the Nepali Health Ministry shared a memorandum of understanding to eliminate kala-azar in their shared region by 2015.
A 2015 study reported that India's public health programs were reducing leprosy rates but not quickly enough to eliminate the disease from the region.
The government of India sometimes has organized health campaigns to teach about diseases so that people feel comfortable coming for medical help when they need it.

The battle was waged between besieging forces of the Chetniks and Yugoslav Partisans against German forces garrisoned in Kraljevo in the German-occupied territory of Serbia (modern-day Serbia).
Several days after the battle began in a reprisal for the attack on a German garrison, the German forces committed a massacre of approximately 2,000 civilians in period between 15 and 20 October, in an event known as the Kraljevo massacre.
On 23 October most of the Partisan forces left the siege of Kraljevo and regrouped their forces to attack Chetniks in Čačak, Užice and Požega.
The rebels organized their last larger attack on Kraljevo on 31 October, using two tanks previously captured from German forces, but failed after suffering heavy casualties.
In early November most of the Chetnik forces besieging Kraljevo retreated to reinforce their positions in other towns in Western Serbia attacked by communist forces.
On 20 November 1941 both rebel formations signed truce only to be soon again defeated by German offensive in December 1941 that forced Partisans to leave Serbia and Mihailović and his Chetniks to flee constant German chases.
Eventually, Soviet Red Army and Partisan forces captured Kraljevo in autumn 1944, killed at least 240 people in communist purges and established communist regime which lasted for about fifty years.
For the half of the century the official historiography considered Chetniks as most responsible for the failure and lifting the siege of Kraljevo, presenting them as deceitful and untrustworthy with minimal combat value.
On the other hand the Partisans were depicted as heroically brave with almost perfect characteristics who had a role of Promethean heroes.
The attack on Kraljevo was one of the battles waged during the anti-Axis uprising in German occupied Western Serbia, then part of the Axis occupied Yugoslavia.
The representatives of the Yugoslav Army in this HQ were Major Radoslav Đurić and Captain Jovan Deroko, while communist representatives were Ratko Mitrović and Momčilo Mole Radosavljević.
Deroko was commander of all rebel forces at the left bank of Western Morava and right bank of Ibar, while Jovan Bojović was commander of all rebel forces on the right bank of Morava and left bank of Ibar.
The first skirmishes within the battle for Kraljevo began in the early afternoon on 9 October near Monastery of Žiča when the Chetnik unit commanded by Milutin Janković attacked German unit which retreated to Kraljevo after a whole day battle in which Germans used canons to shell the monastery.
The battle near monastery lasted until early morning of 11 October when Germans broke the rebel lines and put the monastery to fire.
On 12 october the 717th Jäger Division left Kragujevac to help besieged garrison in Kraljevo and reached Trstenik on the same day.
Between 15 and 20 October 1941 German forces killed approximately 2,000 civilians in reprisal for a joint Partisan–Chetnik attack on a German garrison in an event known as the Kraljevo massacre.
On 28 October 1941 the commander of the Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland Draža Mihailović received an order from Prime Minister of the Yugoslav Government in exile Dušan Simović who adjured Mihailović to eschew premature actions and avoid reprisals.
The last larger attack on Kraljevo happened on 31 October 1941 when attacking Partisan and Chetnik forces tried to penetrate German positions and enter into city using two tanks.
For some time the historiography attributed this action solely to Partisans, but later this was corrected and participation of Chetniks was recognized.
Chetnik Leutenant Sima Uzelac and about a dozen of his soldiers were killed by machine gun while trying to cross barbed wires during their charge on an Axis bunker.
The Partisans cancelled their attacks on Kraljevo based on the order of the communist supreme command and their headquarters in Serbia.
The first units retreating from the siege were communist units, the Dragačevo Battallion which retreated on 23 October and three out of five companies of the Ljubić Battallion retreated before the end of October and sent to Čačak to fight against the Chetnik forces.
In the night between 2 and 3 November 1941 the communist commanders forged a plan to attack Požega, after they managed to resist Chetnik attack on their positions in Užice.
The information that about 200 Partisans attacked Chetnik security forces of the Preljina airport was quickly reported to Major Đurić who held positions at the Kraljevo siege on the same night.
Draža Mihailović ordered on 5 November to Captain Bogdan Marjanović to intensify his actions and quickly capture Čačak, while Deroko was ordered to contact Marjanović and to take 2/3 his troops, artillery and vehicles to capture Čačak, while rest of his troops were ordered to secure area toward Raška and road between Kraljevo and Čačak.
Deroko and Chetnik detachment under his command headed toward Čačak trough village Mrčajevci and easily took over Preljina from Partisans, crossed river Čemernica and positioned his forces that also included artillery on Ljubić hill, near the monument to Tanasko Rajić.
On 20 November 1941 the communist forces and Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland signed truce while German offensive in December 1941 defeated both parties.
The Communists retreated to Montenegro and Bosnia while Mihailović and small number of his soldiers was forced to flee constant German chases.
The Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland and Partisans held each other as morally responsible for Kragujevac and Kraljevo massacres while Mihailović decided to resolve the communist question once for all.
At the beginning of 1942 some Chetniks legalized with Nedić administration buried Deroko besides the grave of Tanasko Rajić in Ljubić, but communists dig out his body in 1945 and disposed it on unknown location.
Eventually, Soviet Red Army and Yugoslav communist forces captured Kraljevo in Autumn 1944 and established communist regime which lasted for about fifty years.
After the regime of communists in Serbia ended the Government of Serbia and its Ministry of Justice established the commission to research atrocities that were committed by members of the Yugoslav Partisan Movement after they gained control over Serbia in Autumn 1944.
According to the report of this commission, out of 55,554 registered victims of communist purges in Serbia the new communist regime in Kraljevo killed 240 people while 28 people are missing.
Although both communists and Chetniks bravely fought in this battle, the post-war historiography published by Communist party denied Chetnik contribution labeling them with different defamatory expressions.
The propaganda of local historiography created by the winning partisans was service of their communist ideology and presented selected parts of the Siege of Kraljevo to create historical consciousness almost completely opposed to real events.
For the half of the century the official historiography considered Chetniks as most responsible for failure and lifting the siege of Kraljevo.
The Chetniks were presented as deceitful and untrustworthy whose combat value was minimal, while notable examples of brave individuals which were impossible to ignore were neutralized by exerting the Chetniks' betrayal as their persistent behaviour.
The Partisans were depicted as heroicly brave with almost perfect characteristics who had a role of Promethean heroes whose enemies, before all Chetniks, were forces whose role was menace.
It is important to consider that communists detachment from Čačak left the siege of Požega in period 22-24 October to reinforce communist forces in Užice.
Taking in consideration the contemporary situation and conflicts between two rebel groups in Čačak, Požega and Užice, it can be concluded that this broader conflict between two rebel groups caused lifting the siege of Kraljevo.

The Zawiya en-Noussak (or Zaouia en-Noussak) is a zawiya (a religious complex and residence usually centered around the tomb of a Muslim saint) located just outside the old city walls of Salé, Morocco.
Like other zawiyas, this building was probably occupied by Sufi students, led by a sheikh, who prayed and studied the Qur'an together.
The corbels at the top corners may have once Only vestiges remain of the rest of the original building, which was made of pisé.
The main courtyard was centered by a large rectangular water basin and surrounded by galleries that led to other rooms, possibly used for teaching and meetings.
The building's layout bears many resemblances to the earlier zawiya that Abu Inan built at Chellah, not far from here, suggesting that it the latter may have served as a model for this one.
They are propelled by paddle, and they could sustain 6 mi/h (9.7 km/h) for 18 hours, covering 100 miles (160,9 km) in a day, or 12 mi/h (19.3 km/h) if closing on a prize.
One of their favorite tactics is to conceal some of their larger boats, and then to send some small and badly manned canoes forward to attack the enemy to lure them.
The canoes then retreat, followed by the enemy, and as soon as they passes the spot where the larger boats are hidden, they are attacked by them in the rear, while the smaller canoes, which have acted as decoys, turn and join in the fight.
The rivers arc are chosen for this kind of attack, the overhanging branches of trees and the dense foliage of the bank affording excellent hiding places for the boats.
In the 19th century there was a great deal of piracy, and it was secretly encouraged by the native rulers, who obtained a share of the spoil, and also by the Malays who knew well how to handle a boat.
These boats skulked about in the sheltered coves waiting for their prey, and attacked merchant vessels making the passage between China and Singapore.
The Malay pirates and their Dayak allies would wreck and destroy every trading vessel they came across, murder most of the crew who offered any resistance, and the rest were made as slaves.
The Dayak would cut off the heads of those who were slain, smoke them over the fire to dry them, and then take them home to treasure as valued possessions.
L'opium et le bâton is a 1965 novel by Berber writer Mouloud Mammeri, who was born in Algeria and lived in Algeria, Morocco, and France.
Della Duck is a cartoon character and core member of the Disney Duck family, both as the twin sister of Donald Duck and the mother of Donald's famous nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
Della is famous for her temperamental personality and adventurous spirit, and as a female adventurer and an amputee, for being a positive role model to young girls and to children with disabilities.
In this comic, Donald finally tells the nephews the story of their mother, depicting her in flashbacks; Della is depicted as a successful test pilot, the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, and stranded in space after test-flying a rocket ship that accidentally propelled her to near light speed.
As the mother of main characters Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck, Della is revealed during the first season to be a skilled pilot and fearless adventuring partner of her uncle Scrooge McDuck and twin brother Donald.
Della is first depicted in the series at the end of the pilot episode, in a painting discovered by the triplets.
This discovery triggers a search, first by Dewey and Webby Vanderquack and eventually involving all three triplets, for information about their mother and her disappearance, forming the central mystery of the show's first season.
Della was presumed lost to the cosmic abyss after Scrooge launched a massive and expensive, but ultimately failed, rescue attempt to find her.
The episode promised to fully reveal what happened to the character for the first time since she was lost in space.
She first declared wanting to be a pilot at the same time her brother Donald declared he wanted to be a sailor.
Della's accomplishments as a pilot included being the first female pilot to fly across the Atlantic, flying as a test pilot (and successfully landing a plane that has caught fire), and piloting an experimental rocket ship.
Due to the effects of time dilation from Della's near-lightspeed rocket travel, while Huey, Dewey, and Louie have lived with Donald for several years, Della believes she's been gone less than an hour.
Through radio transmissions, Della reveals she is eager to finish her test flight and get home to her boys, unaware that several more years will pass on Earth by the time she finishes.
Like her twin brother Donald, Della can be temperamental; after seeing a taunting illustration by Gyro Gearloose in a rocket instruction manual, Della flies into a rage, not only tearing the manual apart but stomping up and down on the remains.
Della also shares personality traits with her sons, including their fearlessness and mischief; these common traits are what allow them to accept and bond with her once she returns home.
Della carried her Junior Woodchuck Guidebook with her to the moon, and is later shown quoting Junior Woodchuck rules by heart, which helps her bond with Huey.
After looking at a photo of her family and assessing the situation, she kicks the wreckage one more time and mutters to herself.
The next shot depicts her with a robotic replacement leg, as she stares up at the Earth and declares her intent to return home.
While Della is tenacious and determined, after finally making it back home, she struggles with returning to civilization and her family.
While Della has ample experience as an adventurer, she has little experience being a mom, and she needs time to adjust to the responsibilities of being a parent.
Like Donald, she uses the phrase to indicate that she's given up on something she was trying to do (such as when she realizes she cannot free her leg from rocket wreckage), or after realizing things have gone horribly wrong (such as after accidentally awakening an ancient robotic foe).
Central Platoon School was a platoon school, where students were divided into groups (platoons) thst switched between classroom studies and vocational as well as hands-on and recreational activities, in Brush, Colorado.
A platoon school plan, also known as the Gary Plan, was devised by William Albert Wirt in 1907 in Gary, Indiana.

The territorial extents of the cities of Makati and Taguig, and the municipality of Pateros is disputed by their local governments particularly the Fort Bonifacio area which includes the financial district of Bonifacio Global City.
The city governments of Makati and Taguig have recently fought over the jurisdiction of Fort Bonifacio because of the area's growth potential.
A portion of the base, including the Libingan ng mga Bayani and the American Cemetery, lies within Taguig, while the northern portion where the Global City development is centered was considered part of Makati.
A 2003 ruling by a judge in the Pasig Regional Trial Court upheld the jurisdiction of Taguig over the entirety of Fort Bonifacio, including the Bonifacio Global City and Pinagsama.
The Supreme Court on June 27, 2008 per Leonardo Quisumbing, dismissed the suit of the Makati, seeking to nullify Special Patents 3595 and 3596 signed by Fidel Ramos conveying to the Bases Conversion and Development Authority public land in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.
Due to a pending civil case filed by the Taguig City government asking the court to define its territorial boundaries, Makati cannot halt Taguig from collecting taxes on land located in Fort Bonifacio because it does not have any other sufficient source of sufficient income.
Because of that, a boundary dispute arose which moved Pateros to request a dialogue about that with then Municipal Council of Makati in 1990.
Pateros also filed a complaint against Taguig at the Makati RTC in 1996 but the trial court dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court, on June 16, 2009, per Antonio Eduardo B. Nachura denied Pateros’ petition against Taguig but ruled out that the boundary dispute should be settled amicably by their respective legislative bodies based on Section 118(d) of the Local Government Code.
Four meetings were held and at the fourth dialogue on November 23, 2009, a joint resolution was made stating that Taguig is requesting a tripartite conference between Pateros, Taguig and Makati.
On August 5, 2013, after just a year and a half, the 20-year-long battle was decided in a 37-page decision that was written by Justice Marlene Gonzales-Sison of the Court of Appeals.
The Court upheld the constitutionality of Presidential Proclamations 2475 and 518, both of which confirmed that portions of the aforementioned military camps are under the jurisdiction of Makati.
The decision also cited the fact that voters from the barangays that are subject of the dispute between Makati and Taguig have long been registered as voters of Makati, thus bolstering the former's jurisdiction over Fort Bonifacio.
However, Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano maintained that this decision was not yet final and executory, and asked Justice Gonzales-Sison to recuse from the case as it was discovered that her family has close ties with the Binays of Makati.
On August 22, 2013, the Taguig city government filed a Motion for Reconsideration before the Court of Appeals's Sixth Division affirming its claim on Fort Bonifacio.
According to Taguig's legal department, jurisprudence and the rules of procedure in the country's justice system all say that the filing of a motion for reconsideration suspends the execution of a decision and puts it in limbo.
On August 1, 2016, in a 27-page decision by the Second Division of the Supreme Court, the decision sought Makati government found guilty of direct contempt for abusing the legal processes over the jurisdiction of BGC.
On October 3, 2017, the Court of Appeals upheld its final decision in favor of the city government of Taguig and not Makati.
The SC also sought Makati guilty of forum shopping after simultaneously appealing the Pasig RTC ruling and filing a petition before the CA, both seeking the same relief.

It is situated within the old Perth Boys School building, part of the Perth Central School complex in the early 1900s, adjacent to the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA) for which the bar is named.
The bar features an outdoor courtyard with access from the Cultural Centre, near the steps and plaza, as well as outdoor tables along the edge of the cultural centre.
The bar owners subleased the space from PICA with a six-month lease, and an option for a longer, ten-year term subject to PICA's lease from the state government being renewed.
Picabar's owners later stated that they were given assurances there would eventually be a long-term arrangement, a claim denied by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries' director general Duncan Ord.
In October 2018, ownership of the precinct was transferred from the government to the Perth Theatre Trust (PTT), which terminated PICA's lease, and hence Picabar's sub-lease, with three weeks notice.
PICA was to be given a new sublease from the PTT, excluding the bar area, which was to be opened up to an expression of interest process.
By early November, the government gave Picabar a temporary reprieve until March 2019, and Culture and Arts minister David Templeman intervened to ensure Picabar's owners would be given the first preference in negotiations.
He has been awarded the insignia of Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Palmes Académiques by the Ministry of National Education of France in recognition of his academic outstanding services in 2019.

Naseem Hamed vs. Manuel Calvo was a professional boxing match contested between Naseem Hamed and Manuel Calvo for the vacant IBO featherweight title.
Naseem Hamed had lost his previous fight to Marco Antonio Barrera, giving him first defeat in his professional career and ending his over five year reign as featherweight champion.
As per the contract that was signed, Hamed had the option of facing Barrera in an immediate rematch and though he had expressed interest in his post-fight interview, he ultimately decided against it.
Hamed eventually announced his intentions to face European featherweight champion Manuel Calvo, who was coming off arguably his biggest victory over former WBO featherweight champion Steve Robinson.
However as Calvo was an unknown fighter in the United States, HBO, with whom Hamed had an exclusive contract allowing them to air his fights in the US, objected to Hamed's choice of opponent.
Rather than relent as he had the previous year when HBO objected to a proposed Hamed–István Kovács bout, Hamed opted to sever ties with HBO.
Prior to their separation, HBO offered Hamed a fight to take place on September 8, 2001, but Hamed declined, opting to face Calvo on November 10, 2001 instead.
The fight was next rescheduled for March 23, 2002, but a back injury suffered by Hamed during training caused the fight to be postponed again.
Coming off a 13-month hiatus, Hamed looked sluggish and disinterested throughout the fight, abandoning his usual aggressiveness for a slow, tactical approach.
Though Hamed clearly outboxed Calvo, many of 10,000 fans who attended the fight were unhappy with Hameds performance and booed throughout.
The fight wound up going the full 12 rounds, with Hamed winning by lopsided scores on all three of the judges scorecards.
Two judges had Hamed winning 119–109, each giving Calvo only a single round, while the third had Hamed winning with a score of 120–110.

The 2018 SingHealth data breach was a data breach incident that was initiated by unidentified state actors, which happened between 27 June and 4 July 2018.
During that period, personal particulars of 1.5 million SingHealth patients and records of outpatient dispensed medicines belonging to 160,000 patients were stolen.
Names, National Registration Identity Card (NRIC) numbers, addresses, dates of birth, race, and gender of patients who visited specialist outpatient clinics and polyclinics between 1 May 2015 and 4 July 2018 were maliciously accessed and copied.
The database administrators for the Integrated Health Information Systems (IHIS), the public healthcare IT provider, detected unusual activity on one of SingHealth's IT databases on 4 July, and implemented precautions against further intrusions.
Network traffic monitoring was enhanced; additional malicious activity was detected after 4 July, but did not result in the theft of any data.
Having ascertained that a cyberattack occurred, administrators notified the ministries and brought in the Cyber Security Agency (CSA) on 10 July to carry out forensic investigations.
The agency determined that perpetrators gained privileged access to the IT network by compromising a front-end workstation, and obtained login credentials to assess the database, while hiding their digital footprints.
The attack was made public in a statement released by the Ministry of Communications and Information and Ministry of Health on 20 July.
The ten-day delay between the discovery of the attack and the public announcement was attributed to time needed to fortify the IT systems, conduct preliminary investigations, identify affected patients and prepare the logistics of the announcement.
In Parliament, S. Iswaran, Minister for Communications and Information, attributed the attack to sophisticated state-linked actors who wrote customized malware to circumvent SingHealth's antivirus and security tools.
A Committee of Inquiry was convened on 24 July 2018 to investigate the causes of the attack and identify measures to help prevent similar attacks.
The four-member committee is chaired by former chief district judge Richard Magnus, and comprise leaders of a cyber-security firm, a healthcare technology firm and the National Trades Union Congress respectively.
The committee called on the Attorney-General's Chambers to lead evidence, and the Attorney-General's Chambers appointed the Cyber Security Agency to lead the investigations with the support of the Criminal Investigation Department.
The committee held closed-door and public hearings from 28 August, with another tranche of hearings from 21 September to 5 October.
In addition, the Personal Data Protection Commission investigated into possible breaches of the Personal Data Protection Act in protecting data and hence determine possible action.
To make things worse, vulnerabilities in the network and systems are not patched quickly, coupled with the fact that the attackers are well-skilled.
The report did point that if the staff had been adequately trained and vulnerabilities fixed quickly, this attack could have been averted.
On 15 January 2019, S. Iswaran, Minister for Communications and Information announced in Parliament that the Government accepted the recommendations of the report and will fully adopt them.
Separately, Gan Kim Yong, Minister for Health announced that changes to enhance governance and operations in Singapore's healthcare institutions and IHiS will be made.
The dual role of Ministry of Health's chief information security officer (MOH CISO) and the director of cybersecurity governance at IHiS will be separated, where the MOH CISO has a dedicated office and reports to the Permanent Secretary of MOH, while IHiS will have a separate director in charge of cybersecurity governance, with changes at the cluster level.
All public healthcare staff will remain on Internet Surfing Separation, which was implemented immediately after the cyberattack, and the mandatory contribution of patient medical data to the National Electronic Health Record (NEHR) system will continue to be deferred.
Following the cyberattack, Internet access was temporarily removed from all public healthcare IT terminals with access to the healthcare network, and additional system monitoring and controls were implemented.
The attack led to a two-week pause in Singapore's Smart Nation initiatives and a review of the public sector's cyber-security policies during that time.
The review resulted in implementation of additional security measures, and urged public sector administrators to remove Internet access where possible and to use secure information exchange gateways otherwise.
Plans to pass laws in late 2018 making it compulsory for healthcare providers to submit data regarding patient visits and diagnoses to the National Electronic Health Record system were postponed.
In addition, the Ministry of Health announced on 6 August 2018 that the National Electrical Health Record (NEHR) will be reviewed by an independent group made up of Cyber Security Agency and PricewaterhouseCoopers before asking doctors to submit all records to the NEHR, even though it was not affected by the cyberattack.
After the report was released, on 14 January 2019, Integrated Health Information Systems (IHiS) dismissed two employees and demoted one for being negligent in handling and misunderstanding the attack respectively, with financial penalties imposed on two middle management supervisors, and five members of the senior management including CEO Bruce Liang.
The next day, the Personal Data Protection Commission fined IHiS $750,000 and SingHealth $250,000 for not doing enough to safeguard personal data under the Personal Data Protection Act, making it the largest fine imposed for data breaches.

The Anguojun, also known as the National Pacification Army (NPA), was a coalition of warlords and later a government under Zhang Zuolin, Generalissimo of the Republic of China under the Fengtian clique.
Formed in November 1926 after the Fengtian victory in the Second Zhili–Fengtian War, the Anguojun served as a way for Zhang Zuolin and his government to resist the National Revolutionary Army (NRA), who had launched the Northern Expedition and the Anti-Fengtian War in June 1926.
On the southern front, they were pushed back from Jiangsu and Henan after fierce fighting against the Guominjun and the NRA.
Despite achieving a few victories in mid-1927 in Jiangsu and extensive victories in Shanxi, the Anguojun could not defeat the Kuomintang-aligned forces and soon retreated past Tianjin.
Following the National Protection War against Chinese Emperor (formerly President) Yuan Shikai, China fully fractured, the feud between different factions intensified, and warlordism was born.
Along with local elites and other military figures in Manchuria, Zhang formed a mutually-beneficial alliance, forming the backbone of his warlord faction.
With growing dominance of China from the Anhui clique, an opposing warlord group, the Fengtian and Zhili cliques (a rival warlord faction under Wu Peifu) banded together in a warlord coalition.
This coalition expelled the Anhui clique from Beijing, pushing them southwards and allowing the Fengtian and Zhili cliques to jointly control the capital.
However, with Jiangsu governor Qi Xieyuan declaring war on Fengtian-allied Zhejiang governor Lu Yongxiang, the Fengtian clique went to war with the Zhili clique.
This led to an overwhelming Fengtian victory, with Zhili warlord Feng Yuxiang launching a coup in Beijing towards the end in 1924, splitting off with his Guominjun.
Fengtian thus took control of northern China, with the Zhili clique routed southwards, while to the south, Zhili warlord Sun Chuanfang took control of the provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian, and Jiangxi.
This posed a serious threat to the northern cliques, and countering Kuomintang activities was one of the main functions of the Anguojun coalition.
In November 1926, following the disintegration of Zhili power in Beijing, Zhang Zuolin brought together his commanders and other, non-affiliated warlords such as Sun Chuanfang and Yan Xishan to discuss the situation.
Although Zhang Zongchang's army was powerful and separate from the Fengtian army itself, Zhang Zongchang still saw himself as subordinate to Zhang Zuolin.
Sun's army, after joining the Anguojun, coordinated his movements with Zhang Zuolin, and after Sun was driven out of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in early 1927, he was supplied by the Fengtian clique.
Even though Sun was totally financially dependent on the Fengtian clique, he was still able to make his own decisions when they would benefit him.
Zhili clique general Wu Peifu was considered as part of the Anguojun, but his power had been destroyed when the KMT conquered Hubei in September 1926.
Decisions were made by the Anguojun leaders in conferences at the Anguojun Headquarters in Beijing, with Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Xueliang, Yang Yuting, Yu Guohan, Zhang Zuoxiang, Wu Junsheng, Wang Yongjiang, Sun Chuanfang, and Zhang Zongchang frequently attending.
The leadership of the Anguojun was, in essence, a military council under the leadership of Zhang Zuolin, who had to plan his military activities based off those of his allies and the opinions of subordinates such as Yang Yuting (When Zhang was strongly convicted about something, he was able to ignore the opinions of his generals).
Its leader, Feng Yuxiang, had joined the Kuomintang in November 1926, and was contesting Anguojun forces in Henan by December as the commander of the Center Route of the Northern Expedition, with 100,000 men fighting in western Henan.
The Fengtian clique declared that Zhang Zuolin would be elected President once the provinces north of the Yangtze River were secured.
This brought Zhang to launch a new offensive in Henan in spring 1927, mirroring the new NRA offensive led by Tang Shengzhi.
As Yan and Feng turned to the KMT and the Anguojun was forced to abandon the two provinces of Henan and Jiangsu, the Anguojun strategy was abandoned too.
With Anguojun forces expelling the NRA from Xuzhou in August 1927, the NRA and the Guominjun cooperated to defend against Anguojun offensives led by Sun Chuanfang in a last-ditch attempt to retake his original territories.
By August, the front line had moved to southern Jiangsu, with the NRA being pushed to Nanjing, leading Yan Xishan to revert to neutrality.
Previously, Yan had been straddling the fence, taking a neutral stance militarily, although favoring the KMT (Shanxi formally joined the KMT in April).
This tipped the balance, and Yan began an offensive along the Beijing-Suiyuan Railroad in October, opening up a new front of fighting between the KMT and the Anguojun.
The Anguojun had almost attained international recognition - British minister to China Sir Miles Lampson was sympathetic to the Anguojun as their military situation seemed to improve in mid-1927; the fighting on the Jiangsu front seemed to be favoring them.
Gaining international recognition was crucial to the Anguojun, as it would add another layer of legitimacy and help reverse the unequal treaties.
Sun Chuanfang's defeat in Jiangsu and the subsequent defeat of Zhang Zongchang on the Shandong front in November turned the tides of the war, although the Anguojun had secured victories in Shanxi in September.
Sun Chuanfang tried to retake Pengpu by cutting the NRA forces in the city off from its connection with the other KMT forces, but he was forced to retreat to the Huai river valley.
Ignoring his differences and disagreements with Zhang Zongchang and his 150,000 men in Shandong, Sun joined him in attempting to push the NRA back.
Xuzhou came under siege, but Zhang and Sun responded by sending 60,000 and 10,000 soldiers (respectively) onto the railroad from Xuzhou and launching an offensive on the rail line on 12 December.
Although the Anguojun had air support from White Russian, Japanese, and European pilots, they could not succeed, and were pushed back within two days.
The coalition between Chiang, Feng, Yan, and Li Zongren surrounded it to the south, with troops in Shanxi, Henan, and southern Shandong.
In order to immobilize the railways and artillery on trains, Yan and Feng launched a joint siege of Shijiazhuang, a major railway hub, which fell on 9 May.
However, Feng defeated the Anguojun on the eastern front and immediately attempted to sever Anguojun communications through cutting them off from rail lines.
Seeing the situation the Anguojun was in at the siege of Beijing, feeling alarmed at the potential fate of Japanese interests in China, and believing that Zhang was too uncooperative, the Japanese brought the Kwantung Army into action, who threatened that they would block Zhang Zuolin from returning to Manchuria if he made an agreement with the KMT.
Yang Yuting became fully responsible for the military strategy of the Anguojun, which had now been severely reduced, assuming the role of Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Three Provinces Defense Headquarters in July 1928.
He advised Zhang Xueliang to hold the line east of Shanhaiguan and Rehe Province, as well as asking for him to take control of the remnants of Sun Chuanfang's and Zhang Zongchang's armies, each consisting of over 50,000 men, who were now situated between Tangshan and Shanhaiguan.
Zhang therefore ordered the executions of Yang and his associate, Heilongjiang governor Chang Yinhuai, thereby ending the leadership of the internal clique of Fengtian officers that had attended the Imperial Japanese Army Academy and allowing Zhang to take full control over the affairs of the Fengtian clique and the Anguojun.
Zhang Xueliang decided to cut down the Fengtian Army and funding to the Mukden Arsenal to fix the financial situation of Manchuria.
It was here that he completely disbanded the Anguojun, with only Yu Xuezhong's army turning to Fengtian, while the rest of the former Anguojun armies were absorbed by NRA or Shanxi forces.
However, in its place, local warlords began to dominate the North; the people of Northern China suffered from more and more societal disorder, and Chinese authority collapsed in the region, paving the way for the Japanese invasion started by the Mukden Incident.
At the top were graduates of Baoding Military Academy, who also served as instructors at the Military Academy of the Eastern Three Provinces.
US intelligence reported that they also had 7 77mm field gun regiments with 420 guns (36 per regiment, 12 per battalion) as well as a regiment of 24 150mm guns.
The Zhili-Shandong Army (consisting of men from the provinces of Zhili and Shandong) had 150,000 men and 165 pieces of artillery by 1927.
There were also 4,000 White Russians serving in the army, and 2,000 boys (ages averaging around 10) led by one of Zhang Zongchang's sons.
Zhang Zuolin, as he saw himself as lacking the political power, styled himself as Generalissimo rather than President (as did Sun Yat-Sen).
The Anguojun made themselves look like the bringers of peace and order to China, against the forces of the Kuomintang, the Soviet Union, and Communism, who were, according to Anguojun propaganda, all linked (the Soviet Union supported the Kuomintang).
They tried to reconcile the ideals of Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang with those of Sun Yat-sen by saying that the Zhangs endorsed the Three Principles of the People.
As for the Anguojun generals, propaganda portrayed them as honorable and legitimate men; their honor and legitimacy stemming from their association with important figures, their diverse backgrounds, their skills, and their willingness to expel foreign influence.
However, the Anguojun was never really able to establish its legitimacy well, as Zhang Zuolin lacked the political power to make reforms.
The Anguojun attempted to make other warlords, and, to some extent, ordinary people, perceive it as a peaceful unifying force, in contrast to the violent, revolutionary unification offered by the Kuomintang.
The militarists in the Anguojun tried to reach a compromise with moderates in the KMT, believing that they could unify the country without bloodshed.
However, the leaders of the KMT were determined to pursue the destruction of the Beijing Government, and they had already allied with northern Chinese warlords such as Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan, which pushed them further away from an actual agreement with the Anguojun.
Immediately following the defeat of Wu Peifu, the Fengtian clique and the KMT had to decide what to do with the political situation in North China.
In August 1926, Jiang Zuobin, a KMT general in Hubei, was sent from Guangzhou to Mukden to discuss a possible alliance.
On 14 January, Reuters reported that Yang Yuting was working with Liang Shiyi to draw up a compromise between the two governments.
According to the KMT, Zhang Zuolin would be made the Chair of the Central Executive Committee of the government according to the KMT, while Zhang himself wanted either himself or another Fengtian representative to be made President, with KMT representatives in the positions of Vice President and Premier.
Zhang asked the KMT to stay to the provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi, as well as ridding themselves of any foreign influence.
They agreed on a reformation of the national government and suggested for Zhang a choice to either return to Manchuria and distance himself from politics or to establish his position as an important politician in the government.
Two of the clauses agreed upon were the total destruction of Feng Yuxiang and joint decision-making in diplomacy between both the Beijing and Nanjing governments.

The 2020 Presidential Address to the Federal Assembly was given by the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, on Wednesday, January 15, 2020 in the Moscow Manege.
One of the key points of the message to the Federal Assembly was the proposal to introduce a number of amendments to the Constitution that significantly change the balance of power.
At the moment, the government is formed as follows: the President appoints the Prime Minister after receiving the consent of the State Duma, and then, at the suggestion of the Prime Minister, he appoints his Deputies and Federal Ministers.
If the amendments are adopted, the state Duma will appoint the Prime Minister, the State Duma will also give consent to the appointment of Deputy Prime Ministers and Federal Ministers, and the President will not be able to refuse to appoint them.
After the adoption of the amendment, only persons who have never previously had citizenship or a residence permit of another state, as well as have been permanent residents of Russia for at least 25 years, will be able to become President, instead of the current 10.
Another amendment will oblige the President to consult with the Federation Council when appointing heads of security services and regional prosecutors.
On the same day, Vladimir Putin nominated Mikhail Mishustin, the head of the Federal Tax Service, for the next Prime Minister.
On 15 January 2020, Vladimir Putin signed an order to create a working group to prepare proposals for amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
The group included about 70 people, including the heads of the legal committees of both houses of Parliament Andrey Klishas and Pavel Krasheninnikov, a number of State Duma deputies and senators, as well as a number of public, cultural and sports figures.

After the coup, Eulogio Oyó held numerous public positions, including Governor of the Insular Region, Vice President of the Supreme Military Council and Ambassador to the Organisation of African Unity.
Medvedev resigned after President Vladimir Putin, during his Address to the Federal Assembly, proposed amendments to the Constitution that change the balance of power.
Since United Russia has more than half of the seats in the State Duma, this means that Mishustin would become Prime Minister, even if all other parties voted against it.
However, since President Putin fulfilled the requirements of the Communist party, namely, dismissed the Medvedev government and proposed to expand the powers of the Parliament, the Communist party will not vote against the appointment of Mishustin.

Søren Anton van der Aa Kühle (27 October 1849 - 12 April 1906) was a Danish brewer and chief business executive.
He was chief operational officer of Gamle Carlsberg from 1881 and succeeded J.C. Jacobsen as managing director of the brewery in 1887.
Kühle was born on 27 October 1849 in Aalborg, the son of first lieutenant and later colonel Nicolai Seyer K. (1815–83) and Margrethe Emilie Kofoed (1828–1900).
He attended Sorø Academy from 1761 but left the school after seventh grade in 1867 to enroll at the Army Officer Academy in Copenhagen.
He was made a second lieutenant at the age of 19 but left the army in 1876 and was in 1877 granted rank oif captain.
On 1 April 1879 he started working for Gamle Carlsberg where J.C. Jacobsen was soon struck by his technical and administrative qualifications.
In a contract dated 18 May 1880 Jacobsen appointed him as chief operational officer with effect from 1 October 1881 as well as his future successor as managing director of the brewery following his own death.
Upon Jacobsen's death in 1887, Gamle Carlsberg was therefore headed by Kühle in close collaboration with its new owner Carlsberg Foundation.He played a key role in the proces that culminated with the merger of Gamle Carlsberg with Carl Jacobsen's Nye Carlsberg in 1902.
Kühle married Johanne Emilie Wibroe (27 March 1851 - 2 October 1933), a daughter of Carl Wibroe (1812–88) and Christine Wilhelmine Magdalene Klentz, on 4 December 1875 in Helsingør.
All of the individuals executed were convicted of murder and have been executed by lethal injection at the Huntsville Unit in Huntsville, Texas.
As an example, John Steven Gardner (the first person executed in Texas during the 2020 decade) was the 568th person executed since resumption of the death penalty.
At the time, the parish of Chard was considered by the Bath and Wells Diocesan Church Building Association as in great need of additional church accommodation.
Tatworth and its neighbouring hamlets were situated up to three and a half miles from the parish church of St Mary the Virgin.
After a delay of some months, a meeting of the building committee in June 1841 selected a site gifted by Earl Poulett, the lord of the manor, who also donated £50 and building stone from his quarries.
Although the Church Commissioners approved the plans drawn up by Mr. Charles Pinch of Bath, construction did not begin and the scheme was postponed.
It was revived by the end of the decade and the foundation stone was laid by Mrs. Whitehead, the wife of the vicar, Rev.
The Bishop performed the consecration on behalf of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, who was unable to attend due to illness.
Grants were received from the Parent Church Building Association (£140), the Bath and Wells Diocesan Building Society (£145) and the Church Building Commission (£300).
In order to accommodate the instrument, funds were raised by public subscription for the construction of a gallery at the west end of the nave.
The churchyard was extended by approximately a quarter of an acre in 1874 and consecrated by the Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Right Rev.
A new organ built by Henry Speechly and Sons of Dalston was installed in 1897 and formally opened on 6 May 1897.
Stained glass was added to the east end of the church in 1905 and the stained glass of the south chancel window was installed in 1962.
The 2020 South American Futsal World Cup qualifiers will be a men's futsal tournament that is used as the South American qualifying tournament to determine the four CONMEBOL teams in the 2020 FIFA Futsal World Cup final tournament in Lithuania.
Prior to 2012, the Copa América de Futsal was used as the CONMEBOL qualifying tournament for the FIFA Futsal World Cup.
The draw of the tournament was held on 15 January 2020, 12:30 PYST (), at the CONMEBOL headquarters at Luque, Paraguay.
The hosts and holders, Brazil, and the previous tournament's runners-up, Argentina, were seeded in Groups A and B respectively, while the other eight teams were divided into four pots based on their results in the 2016 qualifiers, and were drawn to the remaining group positions.
The top two teams of each group advance to the knockout stage and qualify for the 2020 FIFA Futsal World Cup.
The six-hour day is a schedule by which the employees or other members of an institution (which may also be, for example, a school) spend six hours contributing.
In Gothenburg, an experiment with 70 nurses over 18 months found decreases in sick leave, better self-reported health, as well as an increase in productivity, though with a cost of 1,3 million USD.
The discography of Four Year Strong, an American rock band, consists of seven studio albums, one compilation album, five extended plays and eight singles.
Texas crackers were American pioneer settlers and their descendants who migrated from the Southeastern United States to what is now the U.S. state of Texas.
The word was later associated with the cowboys of Georgia and Florida and Texas, many of them descendants of those early frontiersmen.
In the 18th century, the residents of Spanish Texas began to herd cattle on horseback to sell in Louisiana, both legally and illegally.
Following the American Civil War, vaquero culture combined with the cattle herding and drover traditions of the southeastern United States that evolved as settlers moved west.
Additional influences developed out of Texas as cattle trails were created to meet up with the railroad lines of Kansas and Nebraska, in addition to expanding ranching opportunities in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain Front, east of the Continental Divide.
Thus, the Texas cowboy tradition arose from a combination of cultural influences, in addition to the need for adaptation to the geography and climate of west Texas and the need to conduct long cattle drives to get animals to market.
Historian Terry Jordan proposed in 1982 that some Texan traditions that developed—particularly after the Civil War—may trace to colonial South Carolina, as most settlers to Texas were from the southeastern United States.
In a subsequent work, Jordan also noted that the influence of post-War Texas upon the whole of the frontier Western cowboy tradition was likely much less than previously thought.
It depicts a scene from the Western Front near Ypres in Belgium, and was developed from an eye-witness sketch which Nash drew whilst at the scene in 1917.
Born in Kensington, London, England, in 1889, Paul Nash served in the Artists Rifles following the outbreak of World War I.
He was sent to Flanders in February 1917, but was invalided back to London in May 1917, a few days before his unit was nearly obliterated at the Battle of Messines.
Nash became an official war artist and returned to the Ypres Salient, where he was shocked by the devastation caused by war.
Nash drew it as a sketch at the location of the battle in 1917 and then developed it into a full watercolour in 1918, following his return to England.
Art historians are divided as to whether the picture represents hope of a better future or is fundamentally pessimistic in nature.
But other sources opine that despite the title and the image of the rising sun, Nash does not intend us to view this positively.
On 4 February 1952 Shorbodolio Kendrio Rashtrobhasha Kormi Porishod called for an all out protest as a part of Language Movement on 21 February.
However, the acknowledgement of the continent's geodiversity is still lagging behind the recognition of its biodiversity, many areas of global importance are not represented under international agreements, and national legislative acts on the protection of geoheritage are limited.
The African Geoparks Network (AGN) was founded in 2009 in Abidjan by the African Association of Women in Geosciences (AAWG) during the 5th Conference of Women and Geosciences for Peace.
The scope of the organization is not limited to Africa sensum stricto, but the Middle East is also associated with it.
Besides the ICGAME , AGN is organizing in collaboration with local, national and international stakeholders other workshops and scientific sessions, such as the Day for Earth Sciences in Africa and the Middle East in 2013.
In 2019 November, it was announced that the African UNESCO Global Geopark Network is founded, as the 4th regional geopark network of Global Geoparks Network (GGN).
Its primary aim is to function as a platform to support the promotion of the UNESCO Global Geopark concept and the capacity building of the numerous geopark initiatives and projects on the continent.
The official launch of the organization is expected with the 1st African UNESCO Global Geoparks International Conference in Arusha, Tanzania in May 2020.
Khaleque Nawaz Khan (26 March 1926 – 2 October 1971) was a Bangladeshi language activist, politician and lawyer belonging to Awami League.
Alam applied for a job at Dhaka Medical College after passing MBBS but he did not get as there was no vacancy.
He was among those people who raised objection against the remark of Muhammad Ali Jinnah on state language on the convocation of the University of Dhaka on 24 March 1948.
The Prosperity Party () is a political party in Ethiopia established on December 1, 2019 as a successor to the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) by incumbent Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
The merger into a country wide party is part of Ahmed's general policy of distancing the country's politics from ethnic federalism, and will thus run for the first time in the May 2020 general election.
The Prosperity Party was formed through the merging of three former EPRDF member parties, the Amhara Democratic Party (ADP), the Oromo Democratic Party (ODP) and the Southern Ethiopian People's Democratic Movement (SEPDM).
The Afar National Democratic Party (ANDP), the Benishangul-Gumuz People's Democratic Unity Front (BGPDUF), the Ethiopian Somali People's Democratic Party (ESPDP), the Gambela People's Democratic Movement (GPDM) and the Hareri National League (HNL) were also included in the merger.
Defence Minister Lemma Megersa have been very critical of the new party, as well as the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), the dominant party in the former EPRDF for 27 years and the only one not to join the new party.
The party's logo consists of two black hands holding three human figures, one blue, one yellow, and one pink, with sun rays shooting outwards from the human figures.
Of these, six are at Grade II*, the middle of the three grades, and the others are at Grade II, the lowest grade.
In the parish is Biddulph Grange, a country house, which is listed together with a number of decorative features in its garden and grounds.

Şevkati Hulusi Bey (Kadıköy, Istanbul – Istanbul) was a Turkish football player and one of the founders of Fenerbahçe Sports Club.
He is a founding director at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems where he leads the Perceiving Systems Department in research focused on computer vision, machine learning, and computer graphics.
The main observation was that spatial discontinuities in image motion and violations of the standard brightness constancy assumption could be treated as outliers.
The method was used to compute optical flow for the painterly effects in What Dreams May Come and for registering 3D face scans in The Matrix Reloaded.
They learned the potential functions of an MRF with large spatial cliques by modeling the field potentials as a product of experts.
In the 2000s, Black worked with John Donoghue and others at Brown University to create the technology behind the BrainGate neural prosthetics technology.
With these Bayesian decoding methods, the team demonstrated the successful point-and-click control of a computer cursor by a human with paralysis and the decoding of full arm and hand movement in non-human primates.
His team was the first to fit a learned 3D human body model to multi-camera image data at CVPR 2007, under clothing at ECCV 2008, from a single image at ICCV 2009, and from RGB-D data at ICCV 2011.
His group produced the popular SMPL 3D body model (and various extensions) and popularized methods for estimating 3D body shape from images.
SMPL is widely used in both academia and industry and was one of the core technologies licensed by Body Labs Inc.
This provided a framework for posing a forward synthesis problem and automatically obtaining an optimization method to solve the inverse problem.
The MPI-Sintel Flow dataset demonstrated that synthetic data was sufficiently rich and similar to real data to provide a rigorous benchmark and to be useful for learning optical flow.
The HumanEva dataset was the first dataset with ground truth 3D human poses in correspondence with RGB video of people in motion.
Related to human pose, shape, and activity, Black has contributed to the SURREAL dataset of human motions, the JHMDB dataset of human actions, and the FAUST dataset of 3D body shapes.
1985–1989: After his bachelor's degree, Black moved to the Bay Area and worked as a software engineer at GTE Government Systems and Advanced Decision Systems (ADS) developing expert systems on the Xerox and Symbolics Lisp machines.
During this time, he completed his Master's of Computer Science in Symbolic and Heuristic Computation through the Honors Co-Op Program at Stanford.
He completed his PhD at the NASA Ames Research Center in the Human Factors Research Division led by Andrew (Beau) Watson.
1992–1993: Black did post-doctoral work at the University of Toronto as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science (Contractually Limited Term Appointment).
2011–present: In 2011, Black became a Scientific Member of the Max Planck Society and one of the founding directors of the new MPI for Intelligent Systems.
2017–present: In 2017, with the acquisition of Body Labs by Amazon, Black joined Amazon as a Distinguished Amazon Scholar on a part-time basis.
In addition to co-founding the MPI for Intelligent Systems, Black led the founding of the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Intelligent Systems.
In 2015, he proposed an initiative that has since become Cyber Valley, which aims to make the Stuttgart-Tübingen region of Germany a world leader in AI research and applications.
In 2013, a team from Black's group spun out Body Labs which commercialized 3D body model technology for the clothing and games industry.
It was founded under its original name, Steps International by Nick Fraser and Mette Hoffmann Meyer in 2004 and renamed in 2014.
The foundation expresses commitment to free access to information, providing free online screening on their website and on YouTube, as well as partnering with TV stations across the world for Public-access television.
From 2004 the foundation was headed by CEO Don Edkins, he was succeeded by danish documentary filmmaker Christoffer Guldbrandsen in 2014.
In 2018 the foundation released its fourth documentary series called Why Slavery?, documenting various forms of modern slavery in six films.
The 1980 New Year Honours in New Zealand were appointments by Elizabeth II on the advice of the New Zealand government to various orders and honours to reward and highlight good works by New Zealanders.
He had a succession of jobs before becoming involved in pro-Nazi organizations in Chicago in the early 1930s and becoming a full time Nazi propagandist there.
He returned to Germany in 1938 to work in propaganda for the Deutscher Fichte-Bund with responsibility for Ireland, the United States and Canada, attempting to cultivate ties in the U.S. through correspondence with Irish-Americans and anyone there who might be sympathetic to German interests.
His letters were extensively quoted from in the proceedings of the Dies committee of the U.S. Congress's House Un-American Activities Committee in 1939.
In his letters, Pfaus said he had served in the United States Army, in the Sixth Corps at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, and at Camp Custer, Michigan.
According to author Ladislas Farago, he had also been a hobo and had worked as a forester, a prospector, a cowboy, and a policeman in Chicago where he learned about undercover work in the fight with organized crime.
He had filed papers for naturalization as an American citizen and according to evidence later given in Congress, obtained it due to his military service.
Pfaus became active in pro-Nazi activities in the early 1930s and at least initially was not an official agent of the German government which at that time was not interested in developing spies in the United States.
In Chicago he was a member of the Germania Club of Chicago along with ardent Nazis Walter Kappe and Heinz Spanknöbel and was the Chicago leader of the Friends of New Germany that was founded by Spanknöbel in 1933.
In New York, he joined Ignatz Griebl's not very secret cell of fledgling spies there in 1934 with Axel Wheeler-Hill and another man.
The cell was created on the inititaive of Grieb who had written to Joseph Goebbels in Germany offering his services as a spy.
Records of the NSDAP (Nazi Party) show that in 1936 he was an informant for the Reichspressestelle (Reich Press Office) on German matters in the United States.
Pfaus returned to Germany in 1938 at the suggestion of Tegeliss Tannhaeuser, the German consul in Chicago, to head the American-Canadian-Irish section of the Deutscher Fichte-Bund, the Nazi propaganda agency in Hamburg.
On 12 January 1939, the IRA set out to raise its profile with Germany and to establish a working relationship with the Nazis by sending an ultimatum to Lord Halifax, the British foreign secretary, that if British troops were not withdrawn from Ireland within days, further action would be taken.
The IRA subsequently declared war on Britain and began a series of bomb attacks in England on 16 January under the S-Plan or Sabotage Campaign.
The British authorities warned the Irish that he was coming but Irish intelligence did not keep him under close surveillance as they thought he was travelling only to spread propaganda.
O'Duffy refused to help but Pfaus was able to contact the IRA through O'Duffy's secretary, the fascist sympathiser Liam D. Walsh who knew Maurice Twomey, a former IRA Chief of Staff.
Twomey took Pfaus to a Dublin safe house while his status was established and that having been done, Pfaus met IRA leaders Seán Russell and Jim O'Donovan as well as other IRA members.
It was agreed that an IRA man would visit Germany for further discussions and a £1 note was torn in half for identification purposes with the visitor to take one half and Pfaus to keep the other half.
As well as the IRA, Pfaus was also able to meet individuals from the wider Irish nationalist and republican movements which contained strands of pro-fascism, anti-Semitism, and anti-communism.
Another of Pfaus's contacts was Maurice O'Connor, an Irish railway clerk who had visited Germany and was pro-Nazi and later took a significant role in the CCOG as it became more radical.
As a result of Pfaus's visit, the IRA established better connections with the Germans, but they never acquired the munitions and wireless equipment that they hoped for, while the Germans never persuaded the IRA to launch a full assault on Northern Ireland to divert British troops away from the mainland, meaning that there were few concrete results of the collaboration.
The German agents that followed Pfaus into Ireland during the war proved ineffectual at best and incompetent at worst, such as Walter Simon who was briefed by Pfaus and arrived in Ireland with a list of 2,400 people whom the Abwehr thought might be good contacts but who got drunk and was quickly arrested with the list that the Irish used to round-up potential subversives.
Back in Germany, as part of his propaganda activities for the Deutscher Fichte-Bund (DFB), Pfaus wrote ingratiating letters to contacts in the United States whom he thought might be sympathetic to Germany, adapting his approach according to their background and interests, such as being Irish-American and therefore perhaps not supportive of the British Empire, or anti-Semitic or anti-communist.
In 1941, Pfaus was in Paris and visited the British fascist sympathiser and broadcaster, Susan Sweney (Mrs Susan Hilton), at her hotel with the head of the DFB Theodore Kessemeir to ask her to undertake undercover work in Ireland, the United States or Portuguese East Africa.
In November 1943, Pfaus attempted to meet Irish citizens in Paris who might know about the preparations for the Allied invasion of France, possibly an Irish girl who would spy for the Germans in return for transit to Ireland.
He achieved little however, because his main source, the Irish priest father Kenneth Monaghan of the Chapelle Saint-Joseph, had been an officer in the British Army during the First World War and was a chaplain to the British Expeditionary Force in 1940 with connections to MI6.
When Susan Sweney was interviewed by MI5 in 1945, she claimed to have worked with Monaghan to smuggle British merchant seamen out of Paris.

African Australian identity is the objective or subjective state of perceiving oneself as African Australian and as relating to being African Australian.
As a group identity, African Australian can denote pan-African ethnic identity, as well as a diasporic identity in relation to the perception of Africa as a homeland.
In 2011, chaired by Maria Vamvakinou, the Joint Standing Committee on Migration discussed the topic in relation to multiculturalism in Australia.
In 2017, two female students of South Sudanese heritage attending Bentleigh Secondary College were reported to have been discriminated against for being asked to remove their hair braids.
The following year, another ABC piece detailed a former SBS World News employee's experience of work-place discrimination when asked to remove her braided hairstyle.
Specializing in intercultural parenting, Southern Cross University lecturer Dr Dharam Bhugun has demonstrated Australian parents of African heritage ascribing and encouraging an African Australian identity onto their children.
Research from Victoria University, Melbourne in 2015 demonstrated how African Australian identity was perceived as being closely linked to racial profiling and unjust lack of employment opportunity in Australia.
A further 2018 study at Victoria University also examined the distinct national linguistic and cultural aspects to various African nationalities, diaspora and their descendents in Australia, in relaton to a broader African Australian sense of self.
In research conducted at La Trobe University in 2018, participants demonstrated an internal self-identification conflict between relating to being African Australian versus nationally focused identites, such as Ethiopian Australian.
Australian National University academic, and Dickson College associate, Dr Kirk Zwangobani has been noted for his exploration of the emergence of African Australian identity in multiple research studies.
Charles-Michel Marle (born 26 November 1934 in Guelma, Algeria) is a French engineer and mathematician, corresponding member of the French Academy of sciences since 1983.
Charles-Michel Marle completed his primary and secondary education in Constantine (Algeria) where he obtained the first part of the baccalaureate in 1950, and the second part (elementary mathematics series) in 1951.
He was a pupil of the preparatory classes for the grandes écoles at the Lycée Bugeaud in Algiers: higher mathematics in 1951-1952, then special mathematics in 1952-1953.
He did his military service as a second lieutenant at the Engineering School in Angers from October 1955 to February 1956, then in Algeria during the war until 30 December 1956.
Having been kept in the army for a few more months, he began attending the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines in Paris in January 1957, three months late.
From October 1957 to September 1958 he attended the École nationale supérieure du pétrole et des moteurs and completed various internships in the oil industry in France and Algeria.
Returning to the Paris School of Mines in October 1958, his last year of study was interrupted in January or February 1959 by the decision, taken at that time by the Minister of Industry, to send all junior civil servants of category A to Algeria to participate in the Constantine Plan.
He was then attached to the short-lived Common Organisation of the Saharan Regions and worked in Algiers, the Sahara and Paris on various industrial projects.
In October 1959 he was seconded by the Corps des Mines to the French Petroleum Institute (IFP), where he was a research engineer, then head of department, then director of division, until September 1969.
While working at this Institute, with a view to a change of direction, he obtained a degree in mathematics and prepared a doctoral thesis under the supervision of Professor André Lichnerowicz.
He works on this thesis outside of working hours at IFP, as his subject has nothing to do with the research done at this Institute.
First he was a lecturer at the University of Besançon from October 1969 to September 1975, then at the Pierre-et-Marie-Curie University in Paris, and was appointed professor at this university in 1977.
Charles-Michel Marle is the great-great-grandson of the grammarian L. C. Marle (1799-1860), author of an attempt at spelling reform around 1840.
He published a book on the subject, developing a course that he taught at the École nationale du pétrole et des moteurs.
The problem he studied in his thesis was the establishment of equations of viscous, heat-conducting, non-uniform composition relativistic fluid dynamics from the Boltzmann relativistic equation.
Since the early 1970s, and until today, he has worked mainly on symplectic geometry, Poisson geometry and their applications in mechanics and physics.
He has recently published another book, taking up part of the previous one, exposing recent results obtained in this field since 1987.
Switzer's Asylum also known as Saint James Asylum was founded by James Switzer of Kilkenny in the 1800s for the housing of twenty poor widows.
The asylum was founded with the aim of housing twelve protestant and eight roman catholic widows in the units with an additional sum of twenty pounds per year.
Today Switzer's Asylum is nineteen units managed by the Church of Ireland in St Patrick’s Parish, Kilkenny.The foundation was established by Act of Parliament which identified who would be entitled to be resident in the units.
There is a monument at the front of the building which is a statue by Benjamin Schrowder of Dublin of the founder.
Enrico Crivelli (20 July 1820 – c.1870) was an Italian opera singer who sang leading baritone and bass-baritone roles in the major opera houses of Italy as well as in Spain, Russia, Germany, France, and England.
He was born in Brescia, the youngest son of the celebrated tenor Gaetano Crivelli and died in Milan after a career spanning almost 30 years.
Crivelli was born in Brescia to a musical family, the most famous of which was his father, the tenor Gaetano Crivelli.
However, following his father's death in 1836 and with the encouragement of Simon Mayr, he began singing studies with Eliodoro Bianchi.
He went on to sing leading baritone roles in the major opera houses of Northern Italy, appearing at La Fenice, La Scala, and the Teatro Regio di Torino amongst others, as well as in Spain, Russia, Germany, France, and England.
He was member of the music academies of Rome, Florence, Bologna, Turin, and Brescia and an honorary member of the academies of Zaragoza and Cordoba in Spain.
The Jewish cemetery Anklam is a Jewish burial place in the Western Pomeranian Anklam in the administrative district Western Pomerania-Greifswald in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
It is separated from south and east adjoining private properties by a 0.50 m high field stone wall capped by a red clinker brick-on-end course and a newly planted hedge in front of it.
On the cemetery there are 31 very well preserved gravestones dating from the end of the 19th / beginning of the 20th century.
Only the containers for recyclable materials set up in the north in front of the cemetery wall disturb the overall impression of the complex.
The Jewish community in Anklam, which was founded at the beginning of the 19th century, was able to build its first cemetery in 1817, which seems to have been used only for a short time.
Around 1850 a new cemetery was built on the outskirts of the town, which was used until the Nazi era (1936 last funeral) but was later destroyed.
In 1940, in the name of the Reich Association of Jews in Germany and the dissolving synagogue congregation, the cemetery land was sold for 250 Marks to the Mecklenburg-Pommersche Schmalspurbahn AG, which had undertaken not to interfere with it.
Following the bomb attacks on the town in August 1944, however, it was used as a dumping ground for rubble and the cemetery was largely destroyed.
The last Jewish residents of Anklam were deported on 11-12 February 1940 via Szczecin to the district of Lublin in occupied Poland; no-one returned.
Since 1962 it has existed in its present form as a memorial having been declared a memorial in the presence of a rabbi.

As world record holder with the narrowest documented waist size she entered the Guinness Book of Records in 1939 with a waist circumference of only 13 inches.
As a young woman she met the astronomer William Arnold Granger (* July 1, 1904; † March 4, 1974), whom she married in 1928.
The marriage produced a daughter, Wilhelmina Granger 1930-2001, and her husband demanded that Ethel Granger wear corsets to give her a narrow waist.
She wore these day and night - later also a specially made steel ring - and finally laced her waist to a circumference of 13 inches.
At first she did not feel comfortable wearing her jewellery and displaying her figure in public, but after the war, with the change in fashion, Ethel and William began to break down barriers.

The Bands of the Household Division (commonly known as the Bands of the Guards Division) refer to the amalgamated five military bands of the Foot Guards regiments that perform in a massed bands configuration during public duties events in London, the national capital of the United Kingdom.
The massed bands numbers around 250 musicians who are members of the Corps of Army Music rather than the named regiments.
In addition to the occasional pipers that join the bands, the presence of the Bands of the Household Division totals to approximately 400 musicians.
Upon hearing the command, three strikes on a bass drum and a playing of one note by the bands give the signal for the Massed Bands to begin.
Under the command of the Senior Drum Major, the Massed Bands march and countermarch on Horse Guards Parade in slow and quick time.
During the quick march, a lone drummer from the Corps of Drums breaks away to post himself just to the right of No.
It is based on a 16th-century military ceremony in England that was first used to recall nearby patrolling units to their castle.
It is held each year, on the Wednesday and Thursday evenings preceding Trooping the Colour, with the Massed Bands, Pipes and Drums and Corps of Drums of the Household Division, supported by The King's Troop and visiting military bands from around the world.
The first bandmaster to be commissioned was Daniel Godfrey of the Grenadier Guards, this being a personal award coming with a Jubilee Medal as part of Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee Honours in 1887.
Talmar became known especially for her numerous operetta cross sections, which were created in the 1950s and 1960s and published exclusively on Polydor records.
In these recordings Talmar always sang the soprano part under the musical direction of the operetta conductor Franz Marszalek, with changing tenor partners such as Sándor Kónya, Fritz Wunderlich, Franz Fehringer and Reinhold Bartel; further performers were often Peter Alexander, Willy Hofmann, and Renate Holm.
Talmar made numerous complete recordings of operettas and musical comedies on radio in the 1950s and 1960s, mostly on Westdeutscher Rundfunk with Franz Marszalek.
Because of her pleasant speaking voice and her acting talent Talmar always took over the speaking role of the respective part; often in comparable productions for singers and actors separate interpreters were engaged.
Talmar's radio recordings at the Westdeutscher Rundfunk, as far as they have survived, have been released extensively in recent years on CDs, in some cases on several labels (Line Music, Membran, Hamburger Archiv für Gesangskunst).
After ending her singing career in the mid-1960s, Talmar appeared as an actress, among others at the Münchner Volkstheater in 1968.
Lynden B. Miller (born December 8, 1938) is a renowned public garden designer, parks advocate and author best known for her restoration of Central Park's Conservatory Garden in 1982–1983.
She attended Chapin School (Class of 1956) and graduated from Smith College, Class of 1960 where she studied art and spent her junior year abroad at the University of Florence.
Combining her aesthetic talents and training, knowledge gained from horticultural classes in Chelsea-Westminster College in England and instruction at the New York Botanical Garden, Miller first designed her own garden at her home in Sharon, Connecticut in 1979.
Her selection of plants was influenced by her desire to fill the space like a canvas with texture and color in every season.
She experimented with a broad palette of colors and range of native flora, shrubs, annuals and perennials to create her signature painterly plantings.
In 1982, Elizabeth Barlow Rogers invited her friend and colleague to help devise a vision for the restoration of a 6-acre portion of Central Park on 104th Street.
The result was a lush, safe refuge that reopened in June 1987 and was accessible to all, a fact about public spaces that is important to Miller.
Miller's very visible success with Central Park led to subsequent commissions and collaborations among them a project with landscape architect Laurie Olin.
Bryant Park closed in 1988 and when it reopened in 1992, Miller's effective intervention resulted in an oasis that drew people to the park in the spring, summer, fall and winter.
Miller designed the Jane Watson Irwin Perennial Garden at New York Botanical Garden, Madison Square Park, the Heather Garden at Fort Tryon Park, the Chelsea Cove Entry Garden at Hudson River Park (Pier 62), the British Garden at Hanover Square, Trinity Churchyard, two gardens at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum, and the Pier 44 Waterfront Garden in Red Hook.
In 1996, Miller was asked to update the gardens at Columbia in time for the Centennial observation of their move to the Morningside campus.
At Princeton, Miller was invited in 2005 to work with Michael Van Valkenburgh as the university's consulting gardening architect, focusing on the 17 gardens that are distributed throughout the campus.
Together they sought ways to make planting choices that respected the history of the property but also took climate change into account such as installing fewer annuals and substituting perennials.
A good example of this is her collaboration with Dutch bulb grower Hans van Waardenburg in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks; Miller launched and co-founded the Daffodil Project and together with NYC Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, she led the planting of thousands of daffodils throughout the park system to honor the victims of the attack.
As of 2019, over 7.5 million daffodils have been planted in parks, school yards, community gardens and tree beds on sidewalks throughout the five boroughs.
The book details not only her approach to designing attractive gardens for public use but also how to secure funding and volunteers for these maintenance heavy endeavors.
Most recently she narrated and hosted a documentary about one of America's most notable landscape architects, Beatrix Jones Farrand called Beatrix Farrand, American Landscapes.

In 2015 a coup d'état was allegedly attempted in Sri Lanka by former president Mahinda Rajapaksa in order to remain in power after he had been voted out in the 2015 Sri Lankan presidential election.
Rajapaksa, who was expected to easily win a third term in office lost to Maithripala Sirisena, a former ally and member of the Rajapaksa admiinistration.
Though ultimately there was a peaceful transition between governments, some government officials claim Rajapaksa made an attempt to deploy the army and police to stop the counting of votes when initial results showed he was heading for defeat.
The presidency of Mahinda Rajapaksa, from 2005 to 2015 was an increasingly authoritarian regime characterised by the diminishing human rights in the country, nepotism, weakening of government institutions, slow progress of national reconciliation in the aftermath of the Sri Lankan Civil War, and controversial ties to China.
In September 2010 Parliament, which was controlled by Rajapaksa's UPFA, passed the eighteenth amendment to the constitution, removing the two term limit on presidents, allowing Rajapaksa to run for a third term.
There was speculation in mid-2014 that Rajapaksa would call another early presidential election: on 20 October 2014 Minister of Mass Media and Information Keheliya Rambukwella confirmed that the election would be held in January 2015.
The following day election commissioner Mahinda Deshapriya announced that nominations would be taken on 8 December 2014 and that the election would be held on 8 January 2015.
In response to the degrading democracy in the country, the United National Party (UNP), along with several other parties and civil organisations, signed a Memorandum of Understanding and decided to field the then Secretary General of Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), Maithripala Sirisena, as the Common Candidate for the 2015 Presidential Election.
Sirisena, a former health minister under Rajapaksa, pledged to appoint UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe as the Prime Minister if he were to win the election.
Athuraliye Rathana Thero and senior figures in the Sirisena campaign, MPs Rajitha Senaratne and Mangala Samaraweera, allege Mahinda Rajapaksa attempted to stage a coup in order to stay in power when it became clear he was going to lose the election.
They allege that Rajapaksa and his brother Gotabaya Rajapaksa, the Defence Secretary, summoned Commander of the Army Daya Ratnayake, Inspector General of Police Nugagaha Kapalle Illangakoon and Attorney General Yuwanjana Wijayatilake to Temple Trees at around 1am on 9 January 2015.
Rajapaksa allegedly pressured the three officials to deploy troops, annul the election results and declare a state of emergency but they refused.
Unable to convince them, it was only then Rajapaksa decided to concede defeat and summoned Ranil Wickremesinghe, who was slated to be Prime Minister, to assure him of a smooth transition of power.
The Attorney General refused to act on behalf of Rajapaksa and many believe the story of an attempt is accurate after Attorney General orders an investigation into this coup.
Former army chief Sarath Fonseka also claims that the Rajapaksa had moved nearly 2,000 troops into Colombo from Northern Province three days before the election results were announced.
However the cabinet spokesperson of the new government stated, during a press conference held on 24 March 2015, that there was no evidence to prove that such a coup was attempted during the night of the election.

Grace's Old Castle is a historic castle building in the centre of Kilkenny which has been extended to create the city’s modern courthouse structure.
The current site of the courthouse in Kilkenny is on the older site of the castle known as Grace's Old Castle.
This castle was originally built by William le Gras some time before 1210. le Gras was appointed constable and Seneschal of Leinster for life and Governor of Kilkenny.
Much of that original building was replaced over time though the family continued to use it as a private town residence until the building was leased to state the by the Constable of Kilkenny and owner James Grace.
The building first became a courthouse in 1792 when it was also used to hold sessions and assizes for the county.
The Parliament Street Courthouse dates from 1786 so that from the 1790s the building housed the County Courthouse, County Gaol and City Gaol though the building was also used intermittently for theatre performances and public meetings like elections.
While it's believed that much of earlier remodeling work to transform the building was done by Sir Jerome Fitzpatrick, the current facade was constructed by architect William Robertson in 1824.

Dvořák in Prague: A Celebration was an 89-minute televised concert presented in Prague's Smetana Hall on 16 December 1993, in which thirteen pieces of music by Antonin Dvořák were performed by the pianist Rudolf Firkušný, the cellist Yo-Yo Ma, the violinist Itzhak Perlman, the mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade, the Prague Philharmonic Chorus and the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Seiji Ozawa.
It was produced by Sony Classical Film and Video, Czech Television and Germany's Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen in association with Pragokoncert, the Netherlands' Algemene Vereniging Radio Omroep and the United States' Public Service Broadcasting and MJI Broadcasting, and was released on Laserdisc, VHS video cassette, CD and audio cassette by Sony Classical Records and on DVD by Kultur Video.
Exactly one hundred years later, that event was commemorated in a concert mounted in Prague's Smetana Hall, an art nouveau building erected between 1906 and 1911 and named in honour of Bedřich Smetana, the Czech composer popularly regarded in the Czech Republic as the father of the nation's music.
It included Itzhak Perlman's first performance in Prague, and was the first occasion on which the Boston Symphony Orchestra was heard there since 1956.
It was adapted by Dvořák from a string quartet that he had composed four years previously, but which remained unpublished until after his death..
After a version of the fifth part that Dvořák arranged for cello and piano in 1891 was received enthusiastically, he composed an orchestral version of it in 1893.
The seventh humoresque's transcription for violin, cello and orchestra that was heard during the gala was commissioned from the Czech-Canadian composer Oskar Morawetz at Yo-Yo Ma's suggestion.
Both of those performed in the gala were presented in transcriptions, one for violin, cello and orchestra by Oskar Morawetz and one for orchestra by Dvořák himself.
The producers of the concert did not seem to trust their public to enjoy Dvořák's music, easy to appreciate it though it was, without adapting at least some of it.
For example, a Humoresque for solo piano was changed into a piece for violin, cello and orchestra, presumably in order to create an opportunity for Itzhak Perlman and Yo-Yo Ma to play a duet together.
The audience in Smetana Hall (including the President of the Czech Republic, Václav Havel) were allowed to hear at least some of Dvořák's music precisely as he had written it.
Also in 1994, Sony released the gala as a CLV (constant linear velocity) Laserdisc (catalogue number SLV-53488) and a VHS video cassette (catalogue number SHV-53488), with 4:3 NTSC colour video and stereo audio.
In the same year, Sony released the concert as a CD (catalogue number SK-46687) and audio cassette (catalogue number ST-46687) which include all the gala's music except for the excerpt from Dvořák's Symphony No.
The CD provides stereo audio derived from a 20-bit master recording, and includes a 12-page booklet with two production photographs and notes by Ileene Smith.
In 2007, Kultur Video issued the gala on a DVD (catalogue number D4211) with 4:3 NTSC colour video and compressed Dolby Digital stereo audio.

Radio Corporation of America v China was a 1935 arbitral proceeding to determine whether a concession granted by the government of China (specifically the Chinese National Council of Reconstruction) for operation of radio communications between the United States and China was exclusive and could be considered to prohibit a similar concession to another company.
At the time all radio or telegraphic traffic between China and the US, including official communications, was run through either German radio or British cables.
Therefore, US Navy wanted a reluctant RCA to seek a concession in China (even though RCA's other Asian concessions were operating at a loss).
When the Mackay Radio & Telegraph Company, also an American interest, signed a similar agreement with China in 1932, RCA claimed it was a breach of contract.
The Chinese Government can certainly sign away a part of its liberty of action, and this also in the field of international radio-telegraphic communications, and of its cooperation therein.
It can do so as well in an implicit manner, if a reasonable construction of its undertakings leads up to that conclusion.
But as a sovereign government, on principle free in its restriction of its freedom of action, unless the acceptance can be ascertained distinctly and beyond a reasonable doubt.

In 1945, he was one of the first to organise trade unions in the textile trade, working full-time as an organiser from 1947.
The union became part of the Textile and Clothing Union (GTB), and in 1951, he was elected to its executive committee.
Buschmann was elected as president of the union in 1963, and became known for his focus on the likely effects of globalisation on social and working conditions worldwide.
This led him to prominence in the International Textile, Garment and Leather Workers' Federation, and in 1972, he was elected as its president.
From 1968 onwards, the textile industry in West Germany was in sharp decline, with more than 1,000 factories closing and 300,000 jobs lost over the following ten years.

The Regent's Park skating disaster occurred on 15 January 1867 when 40 people died after the ice broke on the lake in London's Regent's Park pitching about 200 people into icy water up to deep.
One of the consequences of the incident was that Regent's Park lake was raised and reduced to a maximum depth of .
Ice skating was a popular pastime in Britain at the time and many Londoners took advantage of the frozen waters with many hundreds of people skating in Regent's Park.
On 14 January 1867 the ice in the lake cracked and 21 people dropped into the water but fortunately all were pulled out alive.
Overnight the ice on the lake refroze and the next day, 15 January, about 500 people took to the ice with an estimated 2,000 more watching from the shore.
At 3:30 pm the ice was heard to crack and almost half the skaters on the lake fell into the water.
Those watching from the edges immediately took action to rescue those who had fallen in by launching boats and pulling branches from nearby trees to use as lifelines to reach people.
Recovery of all the bodies took several days as the lake kept freezing over and several bodies had to be removed from the bottom of the lake by divers.
An inquest was opened at the Marylebone workhouse on 16 January presided over by Edwin Lankester, the coroner for Central Middlesex, at which time 29 of the 34 bodies recovered had been identified.
The inquest resumed on 19 January to identify the remaining bodies and on 21 January the formal taking of evidence began.
Several witnesses were called to relate the vents of the day and it was revealed that on the morning of the tragedy some workmen had been employed in breaking the ice around the islands on the lake; this was to give the wildfowl on the lake some open water.
Other evidence given concurred with this but it was also pointed out that there had been no breaking of the ice at the shoreline.
The jury returned their verdict in the afternoon of 21 January and despite the evidence regarding intentional breaking of the ice, the verdicts were of accidental death in all 40 cases; 39 due to drowning and one due to hypothermia.

Robert Lehmann‑Nitsche (Radomierz, November 9, 1872 – Berlin, April 9, 1938) was a German anthropologist who spent thirty years in Argentina as director of the Anthropological Section of the La Plata Museum and professor at the University of Buenos Aires.
He became an authority on indigenous people in Argentina and concluded his academic career at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin.
He studied at the University of Freiburg and at Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin, and earned his doctorate in Philosophy in 1894 at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.
In the same year 1897, he moved to Buenos Aires, having accepted an offer to direct the Anthropological Section of the La Plata Museum.
His predecessor, Dutch anthropologist Herman Frederik Carel ten Kate, had recommended him for the position because of Lehmann-Nitsche's discussion of Osteology in his two doctoral dissertations.
Ten Kate recommended to the young German scholar to carry out an extensive osteological study of the native Argentinians, comparing them to other native populations of the Americas, Africa, and Oceania, based on the large collection of skulls owned by the La Plata Museum.
He started in 1898-1900 by examining individuals from the Selk'nam people who had been abducted in Patagonia and were exhibited by circuses or in events such as Buenos Aires' National Industrial Exposition of 1898.
However, he soon realized that observations of native Argentinians living free in their villages was more valuable, and between 1902 and 1925 organized six expeditions to remote areas of Argentina, putting together a rich collection of photographs, artifacts, and songs recorded on phonograph cylinders.
He also used German immigrants in Argentina as informants and correspondents, and they continued to send new materials to the museum.
In 1905, Lehmann-Nitsche recorded extensively music from the Tehuelche people, but he went on in the following years recording several dozens of Argentinian folk singers specialized in Tango.
In 1906, he signed an agreement with the British industrialists Walter (1858-1944) and William Leach (1851-1932), who owned a sugar factory in La Esperanza, Jujuy.
Lehmann-Nitsche recorded their songs in 30 phonograph cylinders that, like the better part of his recordings, he sent to the Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv.
Between 1911 and 1925, Lehmann-Nitsche embarked in an ambitious project aimed at creating a global map of the languages and religious beliefs of native Argentinians, comparing the latter with mythologies of Native Americans in the United States and native populations in Peru.
In 1902, he started teaching a course of Anthropology at the University of Buenos Aires, which in 1905 created for him what was the first chair of Anthropology in South America.
In Argentina, in the 1920s, Lehmann-Nitsche was an active member and a leader of the local foreign chapter of the conservative German National People's Party.
He returned to Germany in 1930 and continued teaching Anthropology as an invited professor at his old alma mater, the Friedrich Wilhelm University.
The subsequent scandal led the La Plata Museum to the decision of giving back the bones of several native Argentinians to their tribes so that they could be properly buried.

Mar Field Fen is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, or SSSI, north of Masham, North Yorkshire, England, in a rural area known as Marfield.
It is situated on land containing woodland carr, fen, spring-fed marshy grassland and drier calcareous grassland, between the River Ure to the east and Marfield Wetland nature reserve to the west.
Mar Field Fen is a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), consisting of woodland carr, fen and calcareous meadow whose flush and spring fed soils support certain specialised vegetation.
Mar Field Fen SSSI is not to be confused with Marfield Wetlands nature reserve which contains lakes, and lies to the west of the SSSI.
On the fen meadow are many species of herbaceous plants, including spotted orchid, common bistort, greater bird's foot trefoil, common valerian, marsh hawksbeard, wild angelica, ragged robin and meadowsweet.
Where the fen meadow and woodland carr meet, there is giant bellflower, marsh horsetail, hemp agrimony, yellow iris or flag, marsh marigold and meadowsweet.
The woodland carr itself has been partially planted with pine and poplar, but the remaining natural or original canopy is ash and alder.
In the woodland carr, minimum interference with natural growth and die-back is recommended, because fallen trees and regrowth will encourage the natural development of diverse habitats, such as glades, areas of young trees, and a mixture of light and shade, and shelter or exposure to wind.
It may sometimes be necessary to cut back scrub if the woodland encroaches onto meadow, or to coppice trees to open up the area to light or to prevent trees from falling.
The flush and spring fen area should be protected from potential risk of commercial water abstraction which would deplete the aquifer, and from agricultural fertiliser or landfill pollution.
All of these would disrupt the chemical balance in the aquifer and consequently in the soil, and that in turn would encourage rank grasses, and cause depletion of specialised fen plants.
Light autumn grazing and trampling by cattle is beneficial, so long as the land is not enriched by cattle dung or feed.
Moderate trampling may break down leaf litter and create scattered areas of bare soil which would encourage bryophytes and some invertebrates.
At this particular site there is necessary incoming water from an adjacent quarry, and that should not be withheld, diverted or obstructed.
Regarding future mining of limestone between 2025 and 2030, Gebdykes Quarry applied for a 25.8 hectare extension of the quarry across agricultural land.
North Yorkshire County Council confirmed that Mar Field Fen SSSI would be considered in any future local request for planning permission that might affect the site.
North Yorkshire County Council's Minerals and Waste Joint Plan 2016–2030 took Mar Field Fen SSSI into consideration regarding possible effects of all potential local requirements for agricultural and commercial exploitation of land in the area.
Yorkshire Water's drought plan for 2019 considered the potential permanent effect of water extraction on Mar Field Fen SSSI in the case of future drought and found it to be moderate and adverse.

The main mechanism of action for guanitoxin is by irreversibly inhibiting the active site of acetylcholinesterase leading to excess acetylcholine in the parasympathetic and peripheral nervous systems; inducing poisoning via nicotinic and muscarinic cholinergic receptor stimulation.
Treatment of afflicted case by atropine has attested to suppress the muscarinic mediated toxicity; which prevents the namesake salivation that similarly reacts to prevent the toxin's other poisoning symptoms which include lacrimation, urinary incontinence and defecation.
Atropine will not, however, counter another mechanism of the compounds toxicity as it also mediates a nicotinic adverse toxicity affecting muscle tremors, fasciculation, convulsions and respiratory failure.

Cowrie is a medium interaction SSH and Telnet honeypot designed to log brute force attacks and shell interaction performed by an attacker.
Putting up a simple honeypot isn’t difficult, and there are many open source products besides Cowrie, including the original Honeyd to MongoDB and NoSQL honeypots, to ones that emulate web servers.
Splunk, a security tool that can receive information from honeypots, outlines how to set up a honeypot using the open source Cowrie package.
A new malware was found attacking many internet of things (IoT) devices, with capabilities beyond previously known threats like Mirai and Qbot.
Anti-virus investigator Vesselin Bontchev discovered the malware when it was caught by his Cowrie secure shell and telnet remote access honeypot.
Researchers said administrators should consider running the latest version of Cowrie on a honeypot to monitor password attempts and pattern shifts, and to inform others, to make sure connected devices are secure.
In an analysis, SANS asked people to consider running the latest version of Cowrie, to help keep watch on passwords used, to look for shifts in patterns.
According to Ullrich, they started with an attacker running commands to ensure they weren’t connected to a router or a common honeypot like Cowrie.
He urged security researchers to run the latest version of Cowrie on a honeypot in order to monitor shifts in the type of passwords being scanned for or pattern of attacks on IoT devices.

This was because I had made one of the Negro boxer's managers a Jew, and had drawn him as a thoroughly obnoxious and unscrupulous character.
I was appalled by this accusation, and it rankled - the more so since I had always regarded anti-Semitism as a prejudice espoused by morons and illiterates; a viewpoint so unreasonable that no educated or right-thinking person could entertain it.
The truth is, my own attitudes have changed with the times, just as everyone else's have, and today I find the Jewish character I created forty years ago distasteful too.
So when a new edition of The Set-Up seemed probable, I decided to re-write portions of the narrative and eliminate this undesirable character [...] and while I as at it, I went through the book and carefully denationalised all the characters.
What is interesting is that the portrayal of one the villains of the story as Jewish is considered far more problematic than the more significant racial characterisation of the main character who is black.

1st Lt. Jamal Razul (Fernando Poe Jr.) is a Muslim undercover Philippine Constabulary officer, who is sent to Manila to help curb the runaway crime rate.
Convinced of his abilities as an undercover agent, he is summoned by Lt. Col. Castro to assist in unmasking the head of a big and vicious syndicate.
In Manila, he is able to track down the warehouse where the syndicate drops off their illicit goods, but a firefight ensues.
Fortunately for Razul, two young boys (Christopher Paloma and Michael Roberts) found him and along with their grandfather (Max Alvarado) and Razul's landlady (Vivian Foz) nurse him back to health.
After ascertaining the identity of one of the syndicate's high ranking official, Frankie (Paquito Diaz), he applies for work as a hired hand in the syndicate.
However, before Razul could begin work, he was exposed as an undercover agent and the roles are suddenly reversed - Razul now becoming the hunted instead of the hunter.
Lt. Col. Castro advices him to return to Mindanao, but the syndicate would rather have him dead as he has already caused considerable damage to be let go scot free.
The killing strikes a sensitive chord in Razul, the Muslim in him surfaces and vows revenge on all remaining members of the gang.
Rios (Eddie Garcia), who has up to that point assumed the leadership of the syndicate after eliminating the syndicate's former head (Jimmy Fabregas).
The remake was an official entry into the 2014 Metro Manila Film Festival and was dedicated to the memory of Fernando Poe Jr. which coincides with Poe's 10th death anniversary.

The poems in the collection are heavily influenced by Advaita (non-dual) philosophy, which was at the core of Manilal's philosophical thinking.
In 1959, Gujarati writer Dhirubhai Thaker published the third edition of the book, which included another 10 previously unpublished poems taken from Manilal's handwritten diary.
Manilal's poetic ideal was influenced by his association with Gujarati writer and poet Narmad, and also by his own philosophical outlook and study of English poetry.
For this purpose, he appended a lengthy commentary to each poem, in which he attempted to interpret worldly experiences in terms of Advaita philosophy.
Thaker describes the commentaries interpreting these ghazals in terms of Vedanta as far-fetched, and having the unintended consequence of compromising the ghazals' emotional and aesthetic appeal.
Thakar notes that the same kind of experiment is found in Balwantray Thakore's poetry, saying that, although Thakore did not blindly imitate Manilal, in this regard Manilal is a predecessor of Thakore.

The Quintet in D minor, B74, for piano, 2 violins, viola and cello, is a chamber work by Portuguese composer João Domingos Bomtempo.
The manuscript is damaged and incomplete, missing the piano part in many places (as it happens in Bomtempo's manuscripts: he presumably improvised some passages instead of playing them from the score), especially in the middle section.
It was reconstructed into integrity by Portuguese composer Filipe Pires (1934–2015) and received its first contemporary performance in 1992, during the celebrations of 150 years of Bomtempo's death.
Like his other quintets, Bomtempo arranged this one for piano sextet (with double bass), of which version only one sheet survived (the first movement of the double bass part; P-Ln C.I.C.
The development section (begins in F major) is the longest part of the quintet and is built of several episodes of different character and in different keys.
Both being much shortened (this may sound more like reminiscenses of the opening movement than a proper reprise), composer proceeds to the D major coda, which closes the work.

18-882, is a pending case of the United States Supreme Court in which the justices will consider the scope of protections for federal employees Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967.
Specifically, the Court will rule whether plaintiffs need to prove that the challenged employment action would not have occurred but for age, or whether the plaintiffs simply need to prove that age was a motivating factor.
This case is notable due to the potentially large impact the ruling would have on age discrimination complaints made by federal workers in the United States.
The case also received some coverage due to a reference to the popular meme OK boomer by Chief Justice John Roberts during the oral arguments.
Others, such as the Ninth Circuit, have held that a motivating factor test should be used during the summary judgment phase but not for a trial.
In 1968, Congress enacted the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), which prohibits employment discrimination against workers who are 40 years of age or older.
The private-sector provision forbids employers from discriminating against any individual because of age; the public-sector provision provision requires that employment decisions be made free from any discrimination based on age.
This opinion was one of the first times the Supreme Court described in detail how the burden of proof works in discrimination cases.
If the defendant/employer does so, the burden shifts back to the plaintiff who then must try to prove that the defendant's non-discriminatory reasons are pretextual or otherwise insufficient under the law.
This framework, known as the McDonnell Douglas burden-shifting analysis, is now used by federal courts to interpret employment discrimination claims where no direct evidence of discriminatory intent can be found.
Noris Babb is a clinical pharmacist who started working for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) at the CW Young Medical Center in Bay Pines, Florida in 2004.
In 2009, Babb obtained an advanced designation which allowed her to practice disease state management (DSM) - an advanced scope of practice which allowed her to prescribe medications for certain conditions without consulting a physician.
In 2010, the VA created the Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) system; among other effects, this initiative allowed pharmacists who practiced DSM (including Babb) to receive a promotion.
In 2011, two other pharmacists filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC); Babb testified in support of these complaints.
Additionally, Babb filed a complaint of her own in 2013 after management sought to remove Babb's advanced designations and denied her request for additional training or practice opportunities.
In 2014, she filed a federal lawsuit against the VA, alleging that management at the medical center discriminated against her bsaed on gender and age and also retaliated against her for protected EEOC-related activity.
Babb's lawsuit against Robert Wilkie, the United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs, was filed in July 2014 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
The court found, under the McDonnell Douglas burden-shifting framework, that Babb had succeeded in establishing her prima facie case for discrimination; that the Secretary had offered legitimate, nondiscriminatory, and nonretaliatory reasons for the VA's actions; and that Babb could not prove that the reasons provided were pretextual.
The district court also dismissed Babb's hostile work environment claim, ruling the remarks that Babb noted in her complaint were not sufficiently severe and pervasive enough to constitute a hostile work environment.
In July 2018, the 11th circuit affirmed the district court's summary judgment on the ADEA, retaliation, and hostile work environment claims.
They opted to limit their review to the issue of whether the federal-sector provision of the ADEA requires that the plaintiff prove that age was the 'but for' cause of the challenged action.
During the oral arguments, Babb's attorney Martinez emphasized the language of the ADEA and distinguished the wording used for public-sector employees from the wording used for private-sector employees.
He argued that Congress's intent was to bar discrimination at any point in the employment process, even if the age-related discrimination was the final determinative factor in the decision.
Arguing for the government, Francisco countered that the VA's interpretation of the statute would harmonize the rules for both public- and private-sector employees (imposing the 'but for' standard uniformly on all categories).
In addition, he argued that other statutes such as the Civil Service Reform Act would offer the remedies that Babb was seeking under the ADEA.
On January 17, 2020, the Supreme Court directed both parties to file supplemental briefs on what other judicial or administrative remedies would be available (other than the ADEA) to plaintiffs like Babb.

Robert L. Leahy (born 6 March 1946) is a psychologist and author and editor of 28 books dedicated to cognitive behaviour therapy.
He is Director of the American Institute for Cognitive Therapy in New York and Clinical Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College.
He is Past President of The Association of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies, The Academy of Cognitive Therapy, and The International Association of Cognitive Therapy.
His parents separated when he was 18 months old and his mother moved Robert and his older brother Jim to New Haven, Connecticut.
He was educated at Yale University (B.A, M.S, MPhil., PhD) and later completed a Post-doctoral Fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School under the direction of Aaron T. Beck, M.D., the Founder of Cognitive Therapy.
Leahy became interested in Beck's Cognitive Therapy model after becoming disillusioned with the psychodynamic model which he felt lacked sufficient empirical support.
Many of his clinical books have been instrumental in disseminating the cognitive therapy model in its application to the treatment of depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, jealousy, and emotion regulation.
In addition, he has published widely on the application of the cognitive model to the therapeutic relationship, transference and counter-transference, resistance to change, and beliefs about emotion regulation that may underpin problematic strategies for coping with or responding to emotions in the therapeutic context.
Leahy has expanded the cognitive model with his social cognitive model of emotion which he refers to as Emotional Schema Therapy.
According to this model individuals differ in their beliefs about the legitimacy of certain emotions, their duration, the ability to express emotions, the need to control emotions, how similar their emotions are to those of others and the ability to tolerate ambivalent feelings.
The Emotional Schema Model draws on Beck's cognitive model, the metacognitive model advanced by AdrIan Wells, the Acceptance and Commitment Model advanced by Steven C. Hayes, and on social cognitive research on attribution processes and implicit theories of emotion.
Leahy has described how his model can help in understanding and treating jealousy, envy, ambivalence and other emotions and how these emotional schemas can impact intimate relationships and affect the therapeutic relationship.
In addition to his work on emotional schemas, Leahy has written about problematic styles of judgment and decision making that are relevant in depression and anxiety disorders.
These include biased evaluations in over-estimating or under-estimating risk, sunk-cost effects, regret anticipation, rumination over regret, and inaccurate predictions of emotions following anticipated outcomes.

Joseph Edward Simmons (September 9, 1841 – August 5, 1910) was an American lawyer and banker who served as president of the New York Stock Exchange, the New York Clearing House and of the New York Chamber of Commerce.
He was the eldest son of Mary Sophia (née Gleason) Simmons (1819–1872), a native of New Hampshire, and Joseph Ferris Simmons (1818–1879), a prosperous merchant.
His siblings were Dr. Charles Ezra Simmons and Emma Kate Simmons (the wife of Charles Ranlett Flint, the founder of the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company which later became IBM).
His maternal grandfather, Captain Samuel Gleason, was a veteran of the War of 1812 and his great-grandfather, also named Samuel Gleason, was a veteran of the Revolutionary War.
He graduated from Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts (where he later served as a trustee) in 1862 and from Albany Law School, the oldest law school in New York, in 1863.
Simmons practiced law in Troy until 1867, when he moved to New York City and became involved in the banking and brokerage business.
In 1884, he was elected President of the New York Stock Exchange, assuming the presidency of the Exchange from Alfrederick Smith Hatch, whose firm Fisk & Hatch, had failed, along with other prominent firms such as the Marine Bank and Grant & Ward, a Ponzi scheme run by Ward which bankrupt the former President Grant.
Simmons served as president of the Exchange for two terms until 1886 when he retired from the presidency and was succeeded by stockbroker James D. Smith.

Simmons was one of the closest personal friends of Samuel J. Tilden, who served as the governor of New York from January 1875 to December 1876.
This is a triumph, not of party, but of principle, and every good citizen should congratulate himself upon a victory which can only be most beneficial to all.
I believe that the triumph of sound money, the repudiation of a financial heresy, and of Anarchistic doctrines will be of lasting benefit to the country, and will put the stamp of popular disapproval upon the disreputable attempt of the Bryan faction to stir up class and sectional feeling.
In 1905, he was the first president of the New York City Board of Water Supply (which launched the Catskill Aqueduct project and built the Hillview Reservoir in Yonkers).
Simmons was a member of Metropolitan Club, the University Club, the St. Nicholas Society, and the Masons (of which he served as grand master of the Grand Lodge of New York in 1883).

It utilised new technologies found in the slightly earlier EOS-650, in a professional level body, of which, many of it's unique, distinctive charcteristics are still found today in more recent versions of its series.
After 6 years had passed, Canon brought out another update, called the EOS-1V, which took upon a new design and enhanced the already revolutionary features of previous EOS-1 series cameras.
It had an incredible 45 point autofocus, but new to the camera was AF-assist points, these could detect movement of subjects throughout the frame, and automatically change between AF points.
Despite the success of the series so far, times were soon starting to change, after a few years, a good number of canon's competitors were releasing digital cameras, and so was Canon, but still years canon had not made a professional digital camera.
So, just 1 year after the 1V, Canon made a completely new camera called the EOS-1D, it had the same body, and nearly all the same features as the 1V, but what was new was a 4.1 million pixel APS-H sized CMOS sensor, rather than a roll of film.
But, it wasn't perfect for all professionals, as it was a sports & wildlife focused camera, so the sensor was low in resolution & not 35 mm equivalent, meaning that studio, wedding & portrait photographers were mostly still using film cameras.
While the 1Ds, was a well selling camera, the 1D just didn't really have a market, as it lacked a number of key features, for sports & wildlife photographers, But the EOS-1D Mark II, on the other hand, brought some new features targeted exclusively at professional sports & wildlife photographers.
It had many more megapixels, for high levels of detail, wireless capability (with an external transmitter) & also a second card slot.
While all these features were added to the second 1Ds (the EOS-1Ds Mark II), they were simply not needed in a camera of that nature.
It also offered a marginally faster burst rate & a new metering system, known as E-TTL (or Evaluative through the lens).
Both the EOS-1D Mark III & EOS-1Ds Mark III offered a new, much larger & higher resolution LCD monitor, ethernet compatibility, amazing new autofocus & a new form, very similar to that of recent cameras of this series.
Besides all the improvents in these cameras, there was one new revolution Canon added, that really made these cameras unique – Live view.
With this feature, users could see a live preview of the composition, exposure, focus and the image itself from the 3 inch LCD.
Contrary to its branding, this was more of a slight improved model of the 1D Mark III, it had the same body, similar autofocus, and the same drive.
In 2012, Canon took the action capturing capabilities of the 1D series, & the full frame sensor of the 1Ds series into one incredible camera: the EOS-1DX.
It was a cinema orientated camera that offered 4K video with a 10bit 4:2:2 colour space and Canon Log capabilities internally, but it never sold well due to its high price point & form factor that was simply not suited for video use.
Canon decided to release an update to the 1DX that had slight improvements in many areas – the EOS-1DX Mark II.
It was even better than the previous generation 1DX in low light, and had slightly better autofocus, but one of the more significant photography features was the new buffer.
It meant you could tale up to 170 RAW images in a row (when using CFast 2.0 cards) & shoot fine JPEGs infinitely.
It also had many consumer-orientated video features, such as Dual-pixel CMOS AF, and 4K60 DCI recording, but lacked cinema-based features, such as C-LOG, or 10bit 4:2:2 colour space.
A little time after the release of the 1DX Mark II, One of Canon's more unlikely competitors had released a camera with capabilities unseen in Canon's professional cameras.
Canon combated this by releasing a totally new, much faster camera, which is currently rumored to possibly be the Finale of the EOS-1 line, as Canon are no longer developing lenses for its mount.
This camera offered a totally new autofocus, HEIF image recording, 5.5K RAW video, incredible burst rate capabilities & a nearly unlimited buffer.

Its origins date back to the 15th century, perhaps by crossbreeding between the Comtois and Ardennais races of the time, although it is claimed, like many other French races, a distant Arab origin.
The numerous conflicts which agitated its breeding cradle at the time of Louis XIV lead the peasants to keep and raise small ugly and puny horses, which they are not afraid of seeing captured or requisitioned by armies.
Designed for pulling wagons and doing small-scale agricultural work, the Lorraine horse is known to be tough on the job, despite its small size.
It disappears after the second half of the 19th century with the needs of industrialization, in the face of competition from more powerful draft horses and in particular from the Ardennes, which replaces it in its breeding cradle.
The member of the General Council of stud farms and the National Society of Agriculture Eugène Gayot writes about this breed in 1859.

In 1866, however, the bank moved to a six-story white-marble building located at the northeast corner of Nassau and Pine Streets.
In 1893, the capital stock of the bank was $3,200,000; a surplus of $1,350,000; it had net profits of $378,030; and average net deposits of $20,000,000.
In August 1911, interests identified with the Fourth National Bank, took over the Fourteenth Street Bank, which then changed its name to the Security Bank.
The Mechanics and Metals National Bank was the result of a 1910 merger between Mechanics National Bank (which was founded in 1810) and the National Copper Bank (which was established in 1907).
The Mechanics and Metals Bank offered $200 a share for the stock and the resultant bank had net deposits of approximately $90,000,000.
In March 1914 immediately before the merger, the Mechanics and Metals had net deposits of $58,433,000 and Fourth National had net deposits of $33,408,000.
After a number of mergers and acquisitions (including with the Produce Exchange Union in 1920), the Mechanics and Metals National Bank consolidated with the Chase National Bank in 1926.
The first president of the bank was George Opdyke, who had served as mayor of New York City from 1862 to 1863 and whose term in office had just expired before assuming the presidency.
The third president was Philo C. Calhoun, a former mayor of Bridgeport, who served over a period of roughly fifteen years.
He resigned in January 1888 and was succeeded by J. Edward Simmons, a former president of the New York Stock Exchange.

The brook has a watershed of about 135 acres, flowing east through Woodbridge for 1.8 miles, draining into the Woodbridge River which flows south.
The culvert size at the Route 35 crossing is 12x6 feet; reconstruction of this culvert was the most expensive and leading priority of the Woodbridge post-Sandy recovery planning report.
Prolonged coastal storms (nor'easters), which combine tidal and fluvial flooding, along with flow constrictions, cause an increase in the duration of flooding of Heards Brook, which may last for days before water levels subside.
After Sandy, Woodbridge removed multiple residential properties in the flood hazard areas adjoining Heards Brook near its terminal portion, before flowing into the Woodbridge River.
This area, near the confluence of the two streams, has became a part of the restoration plan for the riparian environment.
The Rutgers floodplain plan is to integrate smaller park areas of the eastern Heards Brook into the larger areas with a bioswale.
Large scale excavation was started in the town for clay; Woodbridge clay was used for making fire bricks, able to withstand heat of greater than 2000°.

From September 1, 1939 to December 31, 1945, Astrid Lindgren wrote a diary in which she told her view of the war, but also collected newspaper articles and letters about what was happening.
When Lindgren started writing the diary, Lindgren was 32 years old and lived in Stockholm along with her husband Sture Lindgren and their two children.
During that time Lindgren's marriage was in a crisis, her husband was hardly at home, fell in love with another woman and became increasingly addicted to alcohol.
Her husband Sture and her two children Lasse and Karin Lindgren contributed information or listened to Lindgren when she read entries from the diary.
Lindgren's grandson Nils Nyman later said that when he read the diaries, he felt that Lindgren wanted a publication of the books.
In Sweden, the war diaries started a debate about what was known in the country about the crimes of the Nazis during that time.
According to Stefanie Panzenböck from Falter Lindgren created a valuable piece of contemporary history that shows a perspective of the Second World War that is unusual for Central Europe.

The Guinea–Sierra Leone border is 794 km (493 m) in length and runs from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the tripoint with Liberia in the east.
The border starts in the west at the Atlantic coast, and then proceeds overland in a north-easterly direction via various irregular and some straight lines, as well as the Great Scarcies River, before reaching the 10th parallel north.
The boundary then follows this parallel eastwards for circa 75 km (47 m), before proceeding in a south-westerly direction, cutting across the Loma and Tingi Mountains, down to the Meli river.
The border follows the Meli down to the confluence with the Moa/Makona, and then follows the Makona eastwards to the Liberian tripoint.
Sierra Leone was founded by the British in the 1780s as haven for rescued and freed slaves; the area around Freetown was made a crown colony in 1808 and British rule gradually extended over the interior over the following decades.
France had also taken an interest in the West African coast, settling in the region of modern Senegal in the 17th century and later annexing the coast of what is now Guinea in the late 19th century as the Rivières du Sud colony.
The 1880s saw an intense competition between the European powers for territories in Africa, a process known as the Scramble for Africa.
The process culminated in the Berlin Conference of 1884, in which the European nations concerned agreed upon their respective territorial claims and the rules of engagements going forward.
As a result, France and Britain signed a treaty on 28 June 1882 delimiting a boundary between Sierra Leone and Guinea, terminating inland at an undetermined point; another treaty of 10 August 1889 extended the boundary further to the east.
This boundary was extended again by a treaty of 21 January 1895 down to the vicinity of Timbekundu, and was then demarcated on the ground from December 1895-May 1896; this demarcation was approved by an exchange of notes in June 1898.
Meanwhile the French Guinea–Liberia border was modified in September 1907-11, as was the Liberia–Sierra Leone border in January 1911, thereby extending the French Guinea-Sierra Leone boundary further south.
Britain and France confirmed the new French-Guinea-Sierra Leone boundary line in June 1911 and signed a treaty to this effect on 4 September 1913.
French Guinea gained independence in 1958, followed by Sierra Leone in 1961, and the boundary then became one between two sovereign states.
During the Sierra Leone Civil War (1991-2001) some trouble occurred at the border town of Yenga, prompting Guinea to cross the border and occupy the town.

The American Relief Expedition was a private and public effort to return Europe-bound American citizens to the United States at the start of the First World War.
Herbert Hoover, then a mining financier, along with several wealth Americans, established The American Committee In London to offer safe passage home to the United States.
The committee set up in the Savoy Hotel ballroom and faced a constant stream of distressed Americans sent from the embassy.
The main purpose of the committee was to exchange dollars for pounds at the pre-declaration of war rate, offer 10 shillings to those that had no money on hand, and to find temporarily housing.
sailed from New York for duty in Europe through the first half of 1915 supporting the American Relief Expedition by carrying 2.5 million USD in gold bullion and other resources to assist in the extraction of American refugees from war-ravaged Europe.
Ultimately, these actions were successful as over 100,000 Americans returned to the United States and The American Committee lost only 300 dollars of the some 1,500,000 it lent.
Following this success Hoover, and through his new found ties to Walter Hines Page, would establish the Commission for Relief in Belgium.

The Liberia–Sierra Leone border is 299 km (185 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Guinea in the north-east to the Atlantic Ocean in the south-west.
The border starts in the north at the tripoint with Guinea in the Makona river, and then proceeds overland in a south-westerly direction, before following the Magowi river for some distance; this section of the border encompasses the so-called ‘Parrot’s Beak’ of Sierra Leone’s Kailahun District.
The boundary then proceeds via a straight line south to the Morro river, and then follows this river and the Mano south-west out to the Atlantic.
Sierra Leone was founded by the British in the 1780s as haven for rescued and freed slaves; the area around Freetown was made a crown colony in 1808 and British rule was gradually extended over the interior over the following decades.
Liberia was founded as a colony for freed American slaves in 1822; various settlements were founded along the coast in the following years, with the bulk of them uniting to create the Republic of Liberia in 1847 (the Republic of Maryland joined later in 1857).
As the African interior began to be carved up due to the Scramble for Africa in the 1880s, an Anglo-Liberian boundary treaty was signed on 11 November 1885, which utilised the Mano river as the boundary; this was then extended further northwards by mutual agreement in June 1903.
A treaty between France and Liberia delimiting the French Guinea–Liberia border resulted in Liberia ceding a sizeable strip of territory to France, and thereby shortened the Liberia-Sierra Leone boundary to roughly its current length.
Britain and Liberia further modified the boundary in January 1911, with Liberia ceding the ‘Parrot’s Beak’ area to Sierra Leone in exchange for territories east the Mano river.
Some further small adjustments were approved by treaty in January 1930, with the land sections of the border being marked on the ground with pillars.
During the 1999s-early 2000s both states were engulfed in civil war and the border region became very unstable, with armed rebels and refugees frequently crossing the border.
She studied at the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art, the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin, and the Barnes Foundation.

While studying at Oxford, Johnston played first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1914, making two appearances against G. J. V. Weigall's XI at Oxford and L. G. Robinson's XI at Attleborough.
Johnston served in the British Army during the First World War, being commissioned as a temporary second lieutenant in the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) in October 1914.
Johnston was seriously wounded during an assault on Hill 158 on 30 July 1918 as part of the Second Battle of the Marne.
The Guinea–Liberia border is 590 km (367 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Sierra Leone in the west to the tripoint with the Ivory Coast in the east.
The boundary starts in the west at the tripoint with Sierra Leone on the Makona river, following this river eastwards before running overland to the southeast via a series of very irregular lines.
It then proceeds in this direction via a series of overland and riverine (such as the Djoule and Mani) sections, turning to the northeast and then finally southeast to the Ivorian tripoint on Mount Nuon in the Nimba Range.
Liberia was founded as a colony for freed American slaves in 1822; various settlements were founded along the coast in the following years, with the bulk of them uniting to create the Republic of Liberia in 1847 (the Republic of Maryland joined later in 1857).
France had also taken an interest in the West African coast, settling in the region of modern Senegal in the 17th century and later annexing the coast of what is now Guinea in the late 19th century as the Rivières du Sud colony.
As the African interior began to be carved up during to the Scramble for Africa in the 1880s, France and Liberia signed a boundary treaty on 8 December 1892 outlining their respective territorial limits (for France, this treaty covered what would later become the Ivory Coast as well as Guinea).
The difficulties with demarcating this boundary on the ground led France and Liberia to conclude another treaty on 18 September 1907, confirmed in January 1911, which moved it south to its current position.
Meanwhile, an Anglo-Liberian treaty concluded at the same time shifted Sierra Leone's territory eastward slightly, thereby also shifting the Guinea tripoint.

The research conducted by Otto and his research group is focused on various fields, varying from the origin of life (self-replicating systems and the Darwinian evolution thereof), to materials chemistry (self-synthesizing fibres, hydrogels and nanoparticle surfaces).
Specific interests include self-replicating molecules, foldamers, catalysis, molecular recognition of biomolecules and self-synthesizing materials (materials of which their self-assembly drives the synthesis of the molecules that assemble).
The complex chemical mixtures that are designed, made and researched often display new properties that are relevant to understanding how new traits are able to arise in nature.
The final goal of all of this research is the de novo synthesis of new forms of life via the integration of self-replicating systems with metabolism and compartmentalization.

Built in 1987 by Heery Architects and Engineers, the building is situated on the Midtown Mile, at the intersection of Peachtree Street and Tenth Street.

The Ivory Coast–Liberia border is 778 km (483 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Guinea in the north down to the Atlantic Ocean in the south.
The border starts in the north on Mount Nuon in the Nimba Range, and after a very short overland sections reaches the Nuon river, which it follows southwards.
It then briefly follows the Dain, Nimoi and Boan rivers, before reaching the Cavalla, which it follows in a broad right angled course out to the Atlantic.
Liberia was founded as a colony for freed American slaves in 1822; various settlements were founded along the coast in the following years, with the bulk of them uniting to create the Republic of Liberia in 1847 (the Republic of Maryland joined later in 1857).
France had also taken an interest in the West African coast, establishing a protectorates along the modern Ivorian coast in the 1840s, which later becoming the colony of Ivory Coast in 1893.
In order to establish ownership over the interior, France and Liberia signed a treaty on 8 December 1892 outlining a boundary between Liberian and French territory (both Ivory Coast and French Guinea).
This utilised the Cavalla river and series of straight lines, however the difficulties with demarcating this boundary on the ground led France and Liberia to conclude another treaty on 18 September 1907 (confirmed in January 1911) which moved it southwards to its current position.
Landscape with a Windmill is an early painting in oils on canvas by Jacob van Ruisdael, painted in 1646 and now in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio.
It had initially been loaned to them by the Mr and Mrs William H. Marlatt fund, who had bought it in 1967 from Kunsthandlung F. Kleinberger & Co, a New York art dealer, who had in turn bought it at the auction of the Cook collection at Christie's in London on 25 November 1966.
It shows a windmill and fields in the foreground, with the North Sea sand dunes near the painter's birthplace of Haarlem in the background.
The work shows that at this date Jacob was still strongly influenced by the style of his uncle and teacher Salomon van Ruysdael.
200 Peachtree is a mixed-use retail center in downtown Atlanta, Georgia designed by Philip T. Shutze and Starrett & van Vleck.
The idea for a large Davison's department store in downtown Atlanta was first put forth by Macy's soon after their acquisition of the Davison's brand in 1925.
On April 25 of that year, Macy's signed a contract with Asa G. Candler, Inc. for them to build the large brick building on Peachtree Street, between Ellis Street and the Henry Grady Hotel.
Atlanta-based architect Philip T. Shutze designed the building along with Starrett & van Vleck, a New York-based architecture firm that specialized in department stores.
In 1948, a five-story addition was added to the rear of the store, which also provided an additional entrance on Carnegie Way.
In 1963, the building underwent a multimillion dollar renovation, including the construction of a 700-car parking garage adjacent to the building.
In 2010, the Atlanta Development Authority authorized a $12 million mezzanine loan from the New Markets Tax Credit Program to convert the building to a mixed-use retail and event venue.
In 2018, several tenants filed a lawsuit against the building's owners, citing unsafe conditions and intimidation tactics used by the owners.

John Henry Lienhard V (born 1961) is the Abdul Latif Jameel Professor of Water and Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Lienhard was born in 1961 in Pullman, Washington, where his father, John H. Lienhard IV, was a professor at Washington State University.
He then transferred to the University of California, San Diego, where he wrote his doctoral dissertation on wind-tunnel measurements of strongly stratified turbulent flow, finishing in 1988.
Lienhard's doctoral experiments encompassed Brunt-Väisälä frequencies up to 2.4 s and required the development of hot-wire anemometry usable in the presence of large temperature fluctuations.
In 1998, they used a jet array at 46 m/s to remove 1.7 kW/cm by convection alone over areas of several cm.

In addition, Lienhard's research group has received many best paper, poster, and presentation awards for their work in desalination and heat transfer.
The ecoregion stretches in patches on the main Tian Shan mountain ridge, across approximately 2,000 km from western Kyrgyzstan to eastern Xinjiang Province in China.
The conifer forest belt is found on north-facing slopes, at altitudes from a minimum of 1,500 meters (below which it is too dry to support conifers) to a maximum of 2,700 meters (above which it is too cold).
The disconnected components of the ecoregion tend to be elongated along ridges that average 4,000 meters in height, with one of the larger sections wrapping around Lake Issyk-Kul.
The domminant conifer in these forests is the Asian spruce (Picea schrenkiana), which usually grows in stands of the same species.
The work was exhibited at a retrospective on the artist in Paris in 1866, at which time it was owned by the Duke of Persigny.
After passing through other hands, it was sold at auction at Christie's in London in 1965 for 170,000 guineas, passing to its present owner later the same year.
Although the Cleveland work instead holds a small toy windmill in his left hand, López-Rey argues that that was the result of transcription error by the copyist.
Julián Gállego argues that what the subject is holding in his left hand is not a windmill but a small arrow or a 'banderilla'.
However, on his visit to the palace Antonio Ponz referred to it as a windmill despite some doubts as to its attribution to Velázquez.
Leo Steinberg instead attributes the work to Alonzo Cano and the painting's subject and attribution are also doubted by Elizabeth du Gué Trapier and Jonathan Brown.
They note the difference between the work's dimensions and those of the works in the inventories (two and a half aunes high, just over 2 metres) and the decolletage of the woman in the miniature portrait, closer to the style of the reign of Charles II of Spain, though the latter discrepancy is explained by the museum as a later addition.
It is also argued that 'Calabacillas' only entered Philip IV of Spain's service in 1632 and that - combined with the construction dates of the Buen Retiro Palace and the work's homogenous brushstrokes - the work cannot have been painted in 1628-1629 as López-Rey argues.
However, the paint surface has been badly affected by a later re-stretching of the canvas and it is possible its subject may be Velasquillo as in the 1789 inventory.
Tyquan Terrell (born in 16 April 1998), is a professional football player from St. Kitts and Nevis who plays for the St. Kitts and Nevis national team.

The Cleveland Apollo is a 4th-century BC life-size bronze statue, now in the Cleveland Museum of Art as catalogue number 2004.30 - it acquired it in 2004 using the Severance and Greta Millikin Purchase Fund.
It is also known as Apollo the Python-Slayer, since it is a copy of the Apollo Sauroctonos, the original of which is attributed to Praxiteles.
Its seller stated it came from a private residence in the former German Democratic Republic, where it had been thought to be an 18th or 19th century copy.
Its present owner purchased it the following year, but it soon became a subject of controversy, with rumours that it had in fact originated in looting of a site in Italy or Greece.
This led Greece's Central Archaeological Council to make an official request that the Louvre ban the work from its Praxiteles exhibition in spring 2007.
Italy also demanded that the work be returned, but the Cleveland Museum of Art backed the seller's account of the work and initiated scientific examination of the work.
Chemical analysis also showed that the statue was ancient but the base was in a different mainly lead alloy and dated to the Renaissance at the earliest - the lead taken from the base at the point where it joined to the right foot was just under 100 years old, arguing against the object being recently looted.

The Bell Tower sits at tall in the center of the Main Campus between what was the Samuel Paley Library and Beury Hall.
The area is a meeting place and hangout location for students and their protests, promotions, speeches, political campaigning, and charity drives.
Students can live in several on-campus housing units: Morgan Hall, Johnson and Hardwick Residence Halls, James S. White Residence Hall, 1940 Residence Hall, 1300 Residence Hall, and Temple Towers Residence Hall.
The Johnson and Hardwick Residence Halls are 11-floor high-rise facilities that are used as the traditional residence halls on the Main Campus.
The Louis J. Esposito Dining Center is on the ground level of the Johnson and Hardwick Halls near the north end of Main Campus.
Johnson & Hardwick is home to three Living Learning Communities including Performing and Cinematic Arts, Major Exploration, and School of Media and Communication.

David Conner Bane Jr. (born 1940) is an American prelate who served as the eighth Bishop of Southern Virginia, serving from 1991 to 1998.
After ordination he became rector of the Church of St John in Wheeling, West Virginia, while in 1987 he became St James' Church in Keene, New Hampshire.
Bane was elected Coadjutor Bishop of Southern Virginia on April 9, 1997 during a diocesan special session on the seventh ballot.
On June 12, 2009, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori announced her acceptance of Bane's intention to renounce his ministry as a bishop of the Episcopal Church and resign from the church.

He was formally restored as a member of the Episcopal Church and of the House of Bishops on April 8, 2015.
It is a more powerful paradigm than Key-Value Store because OKVS allow to build higher level abstractions without the need to do a full scan.
Ordered Key-Value Store found their way into many modern database systems including NewSQL database systems like Google Spanner, CockroachDB and TiDB.
In 2014, WiredTiger, successor of Berkeley DB was acquired by MongoDB and is as of 2019 the primary backend of MongoDB database.
All those abstraction can co-exist with the same OKVS database and when ACID is supported, the operations happens with the guarantees offered by the transaction system.
It is located in a farm on what is now 444th Ave., about north of 300th St., in Walshtown Township, Yankton County, South Dakota.
Berkeley, Hall was a research assistant from 1926 to 1927, curator of the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology from 1927 to 1944, an assistant professor of vertebrate zoology from 1930 to 1937, and an associate professor from 1937 to 1944.

Sacrifice of Isaac refers to a work by Andrea del Sarto, existing in three versions at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden (213x159 cm; 1527-1529), the Cleveland Museum of Art (178x138 cm) and the Museo del Prado (98x69 cm; c.1527-1530).
The Dresden version was commissioned in 1527 by Giovanni Battista Della Palla as a gift for Francis I of France, who around ten years earlier had hosted the artist at the Palace of Fontainebleau.
The work now in Cleveland was probably a test-piece left incomplete, whilst the Dresden version (the largest and most finished) was possibly intended for Francis but was instead seized by Alfonso d'Avalos, marchese del Vasto, who had his monogram added on the rock in the foreground.
Some argue that the version owned by the marchese was in fact the smallest of the three, the one now in Madrid, which is identical to the Dresden version and thus probably slightly later than it.
The Madrid version is known to have been acquired by Charles IV of Spain and appears in the written record for the first time in a 1779 inventory of the Casita del Príncipe at the Escorial Monastery.
The Dresden work was in the Estense collection in Modena, from which it was sold in 1746 in the Dresden Sale.
In October 1938, the Hengyang-Guilin North section of the Xianggui Railway was opened to traffic, and Guilin North station began service.
In 1944, the Japanese army attacked the region, and in response the administration demolished part of the station, along with other facilities.
After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, in January 1950 Hengyang Railway Bureau repaired the northern section of the Xianggui railway, and both passenger and cargo service resumed.
In January 1953 Liuzhou Railway Bureau (now Nanning Railway Bureau) took over the station, and in 1957 a warehouse with construction area 532.26 sq.
In 2014, the rebuilt Guilin North Station was put into use, and had 9 platforms and 18 tracks, with an elevated waiting hall and a west station hall reserved for the long run.
In 2016, the Guilin North Comprehensive Passenger Transport Hub project was announced, and planned for Guilin North station West Square to cover an area of ​​64,403 square meters, and the total construction area of ​​the West Station Building is 391,890 square meters.
After the completion of Guilin North Comprehensive Passenger Transport Hub, it will be the largest comprehensive railway transportation hub in the western region, a highly modern railway passenger special station, and a super large-scale structure integrating high-speed rail, conventional trains, rail transit, bus, rental, and coaches.
The D2P system could be used to translate a gene of interest into the protein with milligram-to-gram yield directly from nanograms of DNA template.
The D2P system is an innovative pulse in the protein expression technology, and could bring a significant change for protein production in the fields of R&D and world-wide industrial manufacture.
The insect cells or mammalian cells based cell-free synthesis is high cost due to their long, complicated process of cell culture and preparation of cell extraction.
In addition, tedious mRNA preparation steps or large scale of DNA templates are required to be translated into the target protein, which make the production of protein takes even longer time.
With all those limitation, cell-free protein synthesis had been only used in few laboratories in the past half century since its first evention.
With better understandings human system, signal pathways and diseases by systems biology, the development and manufacture of protein drugs have become a recognized trending for the global pharmaceutical industry.
Both are time consuming (a producing cycle could take weeks to months, or even years) and labour-intensive with heavily manual machining of biologics materials.
The high cost of traditional cell-based protein synthesis, in certain extent, limits the large-scale production of protein drugs, their medical applications, deprives patients need, and continuously burdens the healthcare budget.

St Anthony Abbot and Michael the Archangel are two tempera on panel works by Filippo Lippi, originally side-panels to a now lost central panel of the Madonna and Child.
Produced between around 1445 and 1450, they are both now in the Cleveland Museum of Art, which also houses a later copy of the central panel by Lippi's workshop.
The original triptych was commissioned by Cosimo de' Medici in 1456 as a gift for Alfonso V of Aragon; Anthony and Michael were his patron saints.
It is mentioned in a letter from Lippi to Giovanni di Cosimo de' Medici dated 20 July 1457, which also contains a small sketch of the work.
Though the work increased the artist's popularity with the Medici, it slowed progress on the Cappella Maggiore frescoes at Prato Cathedral, begun in 1452 and only completed in 1462.
The central panel had disappeared by 1871, when the other two appeared on the art market in Rome, where they were acquired by Francis Cook.
Henry Edser (1862 – 9 December 1938) was a New Zealand cricketer who played two matches of first-class cricket for Canterbury in the 1883-84 season.

Trans World Airlines Flight 5787 was an unscheduled training flight of a Boeing 707 from Atlantic City Airport in Pomona, New Jersey.
The flight was planned as a proficiency check, testing crew response to a simulated single engine failure during takeoff and landing.
Because of a fatigue failure of a hydraulic pipe, hydraulic power was lost while flying at low speed on three engines, resulting in loss of control and a crash killing all on board.
The crew, and sole occupants, were instructor pilot Harry D. Caines (56), two captains, first officer Donald Sklarin (38), and flight engineer Frank J. Jonke (29).
The aircraft was then released for non-revenue training use as Flight 5787, providing recurrent training and proficiency checks for three TWA line captains.
Flight 5787 originated at JFK, and was planned to proceed to the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center (NAFEC) at Atlantic City Airport to perform the required training and proficiency check maneuvers.
On arrival, the aircraft landed on runway 13 with the first check-ride Captain Cains at the controls, in the left-hand seat.
The proficiency checker briefed the take-off as a simulated engine failure after V. The take-off was carried out and the No.
The tower granted Flight 5787 permission to either land, make a touch-and-go landing, or make a low approach of the runway at its discretion.
The proficiency checker briefed the check pilot to carry out a three-engine ILS approach and expect a three engine go-around at the decision height.
The proficiency checker called for the go-around at the decision height, and the check captain complied, applying full power on engine nos.
Approximately 16 to 18 seconds after the call for go-around, one of the observing crew commented that all hydraulic power had been lost.
The cause of the accident was found to be poor procedures for simulating engine failures and failure to apply the correct procedure for hydraulic failure, as well as loss of hydraulic power to the rudder in a critical flight condition.
The loss of hydraulic power was found to be due to a fatigue failure in the left outboard spoiler actuator downline, dumping hydraulic fluid from the aircraft's utility hydraulic system overboard.
With no power to the rudder actuator, at low speed, undercarriage down, full flaps and only three engines, the aircraft was not capable of recovery and the crash was inevitable.
The existing tram line 5 shared the same tracks with metro line 51 between De Boelelaan/VU and Oranjebaan stations, and continues to run with some bus replacement planned as the renovation progresses.
The tracks ran mainly along a reserved right-of-way in the middle of the street Beneluxbaan with street intersections controlled by traffic lights.
Heading south, a light-rail train would raise its pantograph, retract its third-rail shoes and switch voltage from 750V (metro) to 600V (light rail).
The cost of renovating the Amstelveen line is €300 million with the municipality of Amsterdam paying €225 million and the Dutch government paying the remaining €75 million.
The following is a summary of the work needed to renovate the Amstelveenlijn, and convert it from light-rail to tram operation.
However, as part of the separate Zuidasdok project (related to the renovation at the railway station), the terminus would be later relocated to a new tram station on Arnold Schönberglaan on the south side of the railway station.
The nose at each end of the tram is shaped so that in the event of a collision, the tram pushes aside the other vehicle rather than trapping it under the tram.
A new tram depot is being constructed south of the Westwijk terminus in Legmeerpolder on the south side of J.C. van Hattumweg.

The Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 protests were anti-government protests that swept Iran in January 2020 after it was revealed that Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 was shot down by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran while the Iranian government covered it up.
On 8January 2020, the Boeing 737-800 operating the route was shot down shortly after takeoff from Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport; all 176 passengers and crew were killed.
Initially, Iranian aviation authorities said that the plane crashed due to a technical error, while Ukrainian authorities, after initially deferring to Iran's explanation, said a shoot-down of the flight was one of their main working theories.
Investigation by western intelligence agencies later revealed the aircraft had been shot down by a Tor-M1 surface-to-air missile launched by Iran.
Three days later, on 11 January, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said they had shot down the aircraft after mistaking it for a cruise missile.
Soon after, vigils in Iran, planned to pay respect to the victims, turned into protests, first at universities in Tehran and then across other Iran cities.
Originally against government corruption and economic deficiency, the protests quickly grew as fuel prices increased by 200% in Iran and the aim of the protests broadened into calling for the overthrow of the current Iranian government.
The International crisis group claims the Islamic Republic’s shoot down of the Ukrainian flight carrying Iranians enraged the nation’s nationalist population resulting in the widespread protest.
Iran has experienced many protests including the 2016 Cyrus the Great Revolt, 2017–18 Iranian protests, 2018–2019 Iranian general strikes and protests, and 2019–20 Iranian protests.
In online social media videos posted in the evening of a location near Azadi Square in Tehran, there were sounds of gunshots, pools of blood on the ground, wounded people being carried and security personnel with rifles.
In the video surfacing on the internet, many Tehran university students openly refused to walk over the American and Israeli flags which was the symbol of the country’s foreign policy of anti-Americanism and anti-Zionism since the inception of the Islamic Republic.
On 15 January, students in Isfahan and other Iranian cities held their fifth day of protests, after the government of Ayatollah Khamenei admitted downing the Ukrainian passenger plane.
On 16 January, protesters planned to head to the IRIB headquarters, however, due to a high persistence of the anti-riot police in the entire Valiasr Street which protesters planned to use as their main way to the headquarters, the demonstrations didn't take place.
There was also a high persistence of police in several key points of the capital city of Tehran, to prevent any gatherings to form due to the funerals that took place for those dead in the UA752 flight, nevertheless, lots of people showed up at their funerals mourning for their dead.

The Tian Shan montane steppe and meadows ecoregion (WWF ID:PA1019) covers a 2,000 km long stretch of grasslands of the isolated Tian Sham mountains of Central Asia.
The ecoregion stretches around the lower altitudes of the Tian Shan mountain ridge, running for approximately 2,000 km from western Kyrgyzstan to eastern Xinjiang Province in China.
It separates the arid Tarim Basin and Taklimakan Desert to the south from the Junggar Basin and Kazakh Shield to the north.
Running up the middle of the ecoregion is the main ridge of the Tian Shan, with some middle altitudes supporting conifer forests in the Tian Shan montane conifer forests ecoregion.
Biodiversity in the ecoregion is relatively high due to the extreme altitude range, supporting different species at different elevation levels, and due to the relatively large size of the ecoregion and its relatively central location between different floristic zones.
Riegel was a graduate of the first class of Bryn Mawr College and would remain associated with the college the rest of her life.
In 1919, Riegel met with James P. Goodrich, Governor of Indiana, to urge him to call a special legislative session to ratify the woman's suffrage amendment.
She later helped organize the Prison Special to raise awareness about the imprisonment of activists and the inhumane treatment they received in jail.
After women won suffrage rights, Riegel continued to fight for expanding rights in Pennsylvania, where she served as the chair of the state NWP.
It is bordered by 29th Avenue on the north, 32nd Avenue on the south, 155th Street on the west, and 159th Street on the east.
Bowne Park was named for New York City mayor Walter Bowne, whose summer residence was located at the site until a fire destroyed it in March 1925.
Its borders are 29th Avenue on the north, 32nd Avenue on the south, 155th Street on the west, and 159th Street on the east.
The park is located in a subsection of Flushing and is variously considered to be in Broadway–Flushing; Murray Hill; North Flushing; or even Bayside, located to the east.
The area immediately surrounding the park is primarily low-density residential: most homes in the region were built in the 20th century to one of several styles, including the Tudor, American colonial, or ranch styles.
The Bowne Park Civic Association, a neighborhood group founded in 1979, is active in advocacy for the park and nearby neighborhoods.
The pond is fed by water from the New York City water supply system, though it was previously fed from a natural spring.
The central section of the park is mostly composed of old-growth forest, mainly oak trees dating to at least the late 19th or early 20th centuries.
On the western side of the play area, NYC Parks maintains a Tudor-style park building that contains restrooms and storage closets.
Walter Bowne, mayor of New York City from 1829 to 1833, built his summer house on the site of the modern-day park in the early 19th century.
However, the Bowne house and the adjacent Bowne Pond remained undeveloped, and the latter was a popular skating area during winters.
The McKnight Realty Company announced the construction of 25 houses in the Bowne Park neighborhood in 1910, and George C. Meyer's Bowne Park Realty Company bought the remaining developed land around the house three years later.
That region remained underdeveloped because the William and Robert Bowne house was still occupied by the Bedells (or Beadles), who moved in 1923.
The National Park Service, in its report for the Broadway-Flushing Historic District, says that the land was bought by the city in 1927, though in real estate advertisements as early as 1923, the land was erroneously described as having been already purchased by the city.
The Works Progress Administration installed a paved path and a concrete shoreline on the pond during the Great Depression in the 1930s.
Free plays were also hosted in the park during 1934 as part of the Actors Project, and the park building was built in 1935.
One such race in 1937 drew 1,500 observers, such as parks commissioner Robert Moses as well as torpedo experts from the U.S. government.
Funds for park renovations were proposed in the New York City governmental budget in the early 1960s but were then dropped.
The first modular playground in New York City was opened within Bowne Park in June 1969 and included large fiberglass cubes.
After a hurricane in 1968 felled over fifty trees in the park, several neighborhood groups approved a $500,000 renovation for Bowne Park in 1970.
However, a restoration was not announced until 1973, when NYC Parks announced $430,000 in repairs, which included replacing the drainage system.
At that time, the park was rundown: the pond was being used as a dump for various objects, including abandoned cars, while vandalism was rampant and much of the northern section was often flooded.
During this restoration, some of Bowne Pond's fish were relocated to Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, while others ended up in the refrigerators of nearby homes.
The project started in April 1994 and included renovating paths, draining and cleaning the pond, and adding, restoring, or replacing landscape features.
In the following years, large accumulations of algal blooms accumulated in Bowne Pond, so in 2002, the state gave a $250,000 grant toward cleaning the pond.
Some of the more notable issues included a bloom of red algae in the pond in August 2012, a flood in the park pavilion in February 2014, and another flood in May 2014 after the pond's drainage stopped working.
Borough officials announced in mid-2014 that they had allotted $2.45 million for renovation of the park's playground and cleanup of the pond.
Work on the playground and basketball court was started in October 2016 as part of a $1.5 million project, and was completed the following August.
The Carnaval de Vejigantes, officially Carnaval de Vejigantes de La Playa de Ponce, is an annual celebration held at Barrio Playa in Ponce, Puerto Rico.
The parade, one of the highlights of the carnival, usually takes off from Cancha Salvador Dijols on Avenida Hostos (PR-123) and ends at Parque Lucy Grillasca (PR-585).
It is attended by people from all over Puerto Rico, and some attendees are from as far as the United States.
This carnival is different from many other carnivals in that attendees are not mere spectators, but people who are encouraged to take part in the carnival.
The Carnival brings together some 1,200 artists, including some 10 music bands, groups of vejigantes with over 40 people each, over 100 masked vejigantes, choreographed dancers, plus the thousands of locals who join in.
Besides music, dance and food, the carnivals also features amusement rides, artisans, cheerleades, jugglers, and arts and crafts, among other attractions.
The first parade started off from the Alfredo Agyayo High School on Avenida Hostos and marched down the street where the Candita y Matías Store was located (Calle Colón, now named Calle José Antonio Salamán).
Some people believe that the origins of the Carnaval Ponceño and the first masked vejigante dance in Ponce took place in Barrio Playa sometime before the 1858 date usually attributed to the start of the Ponce Carnival.
These include a press conference, an informal vejigante run through the streets of Barrio Playa to promote the motto of that year's carnival, and a mini carnival at the casino of the Ponce Hilton Hotel, oriented to the elderly.
Both pre-carnival and carnival events are well staffed by security and law enforcement personnel and, by its 28th edition (2018), no security incidents had occurred.
The traditional vejigante masks of the Ponce Playa Carnival are made of paper mache and are characterized by the presence of multiple horns.
Sophisticated Ponce carnival masks are sought after by mask collectors and masks from Ponce have become a symbol of Puerto Rico at large.
The Grand Marshal of the 2018 edition was the actress and singer Carmen Nydia Velázquez, who was herself born in Barrio Playa.
Nikolai Nikolaevich Figurovsky () (7 December 1923 — 14 June 2003) was a Soviet film director, screenwriter, writer and professor at VGIK.
Nikolai Figurovsky was born in Chukhloma (modern-day Kostroma Oblast of Russia) into a family of a village schoolteacher Nikolai Mikhailovich Figurovsky who came from a long generation of Russian Orthodox priests.
His brother Yuri Figurovsky (1925—2005), a constructor of radiolocation equipment, served as the head of the Tikhomirov Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Design between 1962 and 1969, while his cousin-uncle (1901—1986) was a prominent Soviet chemist and a professor at the MSU Faculty of Chemistry; he also had family ties with the Russian space scientist Anatoli Blagonravov.
During the 1930s his family moved to the Ternovka village of the Central Black Earth Oblast where he finished the secondary school in 1941.
After the war he entered the director's faculty at VGIK, the course led by Igor Savchenko which he finished in 1951.
Between 1953 and 1984 he worked at Mosfilm, Belarusfilm, Uzbekfilm, Gorky and Dovzhenko Film Studios, directing six films and writing 30 screenplays.
For the latter Figurovsky also proposed an idea of an extended six- or seven-part TV version to be released simultaneously, but this was too ahead of its time.
In 1970 Figurovsky also headed the screenwriting workshop at VGIK; among his students were the screenwriter Yuri Arabov and the Russian producer, founder of the CTB FIlm Company Sergey Selyanov.

Holt of the British Admiralty and built by British boatbuilder Fairmile Marine, during the Second World War eighty Fairmile B motor launches were built in Canada for service with the Coastal Forces of the RCN.
Built of double mahogany (diagonally) with an eight-inch oak keel and based on a line of destroyer hulls, the Fairmiles arrived in prefabricated kits to be assembled for the RCN by thirteen different boatyards.
In contrast to the British built boats, the Canadian Fairmiles were narrower, had a greater draught, and were slightly more powerful giving the Canadian boats a two knot speed advantage over the British boats.
Another unique design feature of the Fairmile B was that with forty-eight hours notice each boat could be reconfigured to serve in a different role.
Fitted with steel strips and tapped holes to ease equipment swaps, weapons and specialist gear such as torpedo tubes, mines, depth charges, and guns could be quickly stripped and attached to the boat.
In two days, a Fairmile could have it's weapons and equipment reconfigured to serve as an escort, minesweeper, minelayer, navigation leader, coastal raider, patrol boat, ambulance or rescue launch.
After the Second World War she sold as surplus for C$7,900 to War Assets Corporation (WAC) who then resold her to W. Eric Phillips of Oshawa, ON.
The Nauruan government has a very complex relationship with the United States; the government of Bernard Dowiyogo agreed to stop passport sales and offshore banking in return for an extensive aid package.
However, that aid has not been delivered and Nauru's formal and traditional leaders are now looking to Japan and China for assistance.
[30] Subsequently, the US Department of State, referring to events investigated in 2007, reported criticism of Adeang in its Human Rights Report, issued for 2008.
This criticism was included in the State Department's report, despite the fact that police, having undertaken an investigation of allegations of wrongdoing, made no attempt to prosecute Adeang.
Shortly after Adeang's public pronouncements, a crisis, with himself at the centre, led to the collapse of President of Nauru Ludwig Scotty's government.
He represented Denmark at the 2012 Summer Paralympics and at the 2016 Summer Paralympics and he won the bronze medal in the men's 150 metre individual medley SM4 event in 2016.

The centre des loisirs Michel-Veillette (English: Michel-Veillette recreational center) is a complex fitted out for sports and other types of leisure activities, which is located at chemin Sainte-Marguerite, in the heart of the borough Pointe-du-Lac, in the city of Trois-Rivières, in Quebec, in Canada.
The construction of this recreation center was announced at a press conference on April 23, 2012 by the authorities of the city of Trois-Rivières.
A colorful work of art by artist Daniel Dutil, personifying three moving characters, was affixed to the facade of the recreation center.
This could have been done by the artist using the chronophotography technique which consists of taking several photos, in order to faithfully represent the movements of the athletes.
As Chair of the Pointe-du-Lac Recreation Committee, Michel Veillette was involved in the construction of the Pavillon des Seigneurs sports complex, located at 10 555 chemin Sainte-Marguerite, with the collaboration of Yvon Picotte, MPP for that time, as well as the development of the sports grounds surrounding this pavilion.
In addition, Michel Veillette was a municipal councilor from 2001 to 2013, representing the district of Pointe-du-Lac in the new city of Trois-Rivières, after the effective municipal amalgamation on January 1, 2002.
He has notably served on the working group on regional development and planning, the urban planning advisory committee, the regional recreation and sports unit, the working group on recreation, sport and community services.
, to the committee on sport and leisure tourism, to the working group on public works, to that of technical services, to the traffic committee as well as to the committee of the Grand Prix of Trois-Rivières.
Michel Veillette received the National Assembly (Quebec) medal on May 30, 2018 by the deputy Marc Plante in the presence of the Premier of Quebec, Philippe Couillard.
Michel Veillette really retired at the end of 2013, that is to say at the end of his third mandate as municipal councilor.

Though the name of the festival is specific to Tamil Nadu, it is also celebrated in other southern Indian states such as Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka as the festival is significantly popular in South India.
The day of Kaanum Pongal is often acknowledged as the Thiruvalluvar Day in remembrance of the great historic Tamil writer, poet and philosopher Thiruvalluvar who was known for writing the world famous Thirukural.
Kaanum Pongal is the day of relaxation and enjoyment and it implies that people spend their time by arranging family trips, picnics, visiting neighbours and relatives houses.
In the state of Andhra Pradesh, the festival is earmarked and celebrated as Mukkanuma and the auspicious festival is observed in Andhra by worshipping the cattle.
In the state of Tamil Nadu, the day of Kanum Pongal is also referred to as Virgin Pongal or Kanni Pongal, the word Kanni implies virgin/maiden/unmarried girl.
Kaanum Pongal is treated similar to the Raksha Bandhan as women offer special prayers towards the Sun god for the wellbeing of their brothers and as per the customs and traditions, women visit the brothers places.
As it is a sulpha drug, care must be taken during administration, and certain individuals must avoid azabon altogether to prevent an allergic reaction.
Despite being a sulfonamide, azabon has poor antibacterial potency, although this decreased activity is common among other benzenesulfonamides with two substituents on N. Azabon is synthesized from 3-azabicyclo-[2.2.2]nonane, which is itself prepared by pyrolysis of aliphatic diamine.

Faster freight services had been a goal as far back as the end of the Great War, with fast, overnight services between major marshalling yards.
If a wagon load was in the marshalling yard that day, it could have a guaranteed next-day arrival at a similar yard, even travelling the length of the country.
Part of the goal was to reduce marshalling for the railway company, who wished to concentrate freight marshalling at fewer, larger and better equipped marshalling yards.
By the 1950s, there were additional target goals: still a faster freight service to be more attractive than the growing competition from road haulage, but mostly a reduction in operating costs by reducing the manual effort needed in handling freight.
A key part of this was to be containerisation, replacing the network of railway goods sheds and manual loading in and out of vans, by pre-loaded containers from the customer factories loaded onto railway wagons by mechanical cranes.
There would also be a centralisation of freight services: as well as the increasing development of and investment in marshalling yards, as much freight as possible would become block trains, where a single rake of freight wagons shuttled continuously between two large depots, without needing to stop for shunting operations.
Containers were key to this: road haulage would provide local flexibility to move the loads to and from the customer warehouses and the rail operation would concentrate on rapid transfers between a handful of large depots.
The 'container' to be used for this traffic was not the modern familiar stackable or TEU, but a much earlier version, the railway Conflat.
Each Condor train was of 27 four-wheeled Conflats, of a new design with roller bearing axles to allow the fastest running and without the risk of stopping for a 'hot box'.
The Conflats for Condor were heavier at 35.5 tons than earlier examples and were later given their own TOPS code of FC.
The cost of hiring a container in 1962 was £16 or £18, depending on size, and this included road pickup and delivery by British Road Services lorries, inside Greater London or within 10 miles of Glasgow.
The 10 hour long service required a very brief, two minute, stop at , at the change of a crew shift, rather than any limitation of the train.
Pairs were needed as the dieselisation process was still new to Britain and the more powerful Type 4 locomotives were in short supply and in demand for passenger services.
The Type 28 had a relatively high tractive effort for a Type 2 loco, of 50,000 lbf compared to 42,000 lbf for the Sulzer Type 2.
Their 'Red Circle' connection system of multiple working was not widely used on BR, compared to the contemporary 'Blue Star', and few other classes used it; hence the Metro-Vicks were used throughout.
The Condor service was well-suited to the Metro-Vicks, as the night working allowed a relatively constant power output, with little other traffic to cause signals checks.
These wrapped around the corners of the cab, to give a better view to the sides, but the engine's vibration could be enough to make the glass panes fall out of their frames.
When cracking problems with their crankcases became evident after a few years, the locomotives were withdrawn from service and the engines rebuilt by Crossley.
If a locomotive failed, it was replaced by another, and often this would be a Sulzer Type 2 as the Metro-Vicks were only stabled at the ends of the service, not inbetween.
In 1961, the unreliable Metro-Vicks were all withdrawn temporarily for their engines to be refurbished by the makers, , in the hope of avoiding their problems.
When the Class 28s returned, they had also had their distinctive wrap-around windshields replaced with flat glass, which no longer tended to fall out.
The class was redeployed to the , where they worked out the rest of their short careers mostly on passenger services until they were all withdrawn by 1968.
Class 24s were the usual motive power from its introduction on 17 January 1963, when D5082 hauled the Down train and D5083 the up train, until replaced by the first service in 1965.
However these containers would be the newly popular stackable rectangular containers, rather than the older railway standard containers, as used by Condor.
Beeching's plan was for a national network of 55 container depots and by 1968, 17 of these were in operation, including Gushetfauld.
An important one was , who used this to integrate car production across Europe, shipping bodyshells for final assembly across the Channel, by the Dover - Dunkerque train ferry.
The introduction of the new TOPS computer system also allowed all operations to be tracked as registered freight, between all depots.
It was unique in two aspects: the backplate colour was in two colours, and the text was in a 'stencil' typeface, with vertical breaks in each letter.
Though being published with major publishers, Andre was constantly displeased with subjects such as the cover design and overall lack of reader-experience.
As part of the publicity for the novel, Andre wrote personal emails to every single reader who had ever contacted her during the previous five years, amounting to hundreds of personal emails.
Andre went on to complete the entire eight-book series that she initially intended to write, and then branched off to the larger, extended Sullivan family.
Due to her previous experience with traditional publishers, Andre was adamant on retaining the rights for the digital distribution of her novels, as well as the rights for foreign translations.

The castle therefore dominates the town but also an ancient glacial tarn, called Saint-Michel, closed on its downstream side by the glacial remnant of Pas-du-Roc that separates it from Saint-Martin-de-la-Porte, and also closes from the south the access to the valley of Valloirette and the town of Valloire.
Finally, it oversees the route leading to the Tarentaise Valley, through the mountain pass of the Encombres and the mountain towns of Beaune and Thyl.
The local historian, abbot Félix Bernard, advanced the hypothesis that the Pierre called (), cited around 1190, was the aforementioned Pierre, the elder brother of Ismidon II.
The town was the capital of the (an administrative unit made up of multiple parishes) in the Savoyard organisation of Maurienne, whose seat was probably in the fortified house that vaults the lower entrance to the town.
In fact, in November 1309, the young nobleman Jacques Mareschal, son of Jean Mareschal, gave homage to the Count of Savoy for the .
François de Bavoz de Saint-Julien was commander of the castle in 1580, having his brother Jean de Bavoz as a deputy.
In the following year, that sale was canceled by a legal decision, and the duke was granted in compensation the purely honorary title of baron of Saint-Michel.
The family pursued a legal action to recover the jurisdiction up until 1620, in the course of which Pierre Mareschal Duyn de la Val d'Isère gave the castle to his brother, Jean-Balthazard.
Philibert's son was made marquis of Marclaz, but he was usually called, as were his descendants, marquis of Saint-Michel, in reference to his ancestors.

Mount Henderson is a 6,003 ft (1,830 meter) mountain summit located in the Olympic Mountains, in Mason County of Washington state.
The mountain's name honors Louis Forniquet Henderson (1853-1942), a pioneering botanist and mountaineer who accompanied Lieutenant O'Neil on his 1890 expedition into the Olympic Mountains.
As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Olympic Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall (Orographic lift).
During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but, due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer.
The Olympic Mountains are composed of obducted clastic wedge material and oceanic crust, primarily Eocene sandstone, turbidite, and basaltic oceanic crust.
The Albatross, also known as the Chung Shyang II, is a medium unmanned aerial vehicle made by National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology.
The Chung Shyang II UAV can perform surveillance, reconnaissance, target acquisition, artillery spotting and battle damage assessment sorties for the military and perform other duties such as border patrol, and aerial reconnaissance for various government agencies.
In addition to its military capabilities the Albatross can also be used for civilian applications such as agriculture, fisheries, animal husbandry, disaster monitoring, environmental protection, traffic control, target searching, position recognition, coastal patrol, communications relay, and hazardous terrain survey.
CSIST began researching UAVs in 2002, which resulted in the first Chung Shyang I UAV, then later the Chung Shyang II.

In the early 1800s, David Thompson, a Canadian explorer and employee of the Northwest Company, travelled into the Kootenay River area and used the Kootenay River as a navigational guide through the area following Native Americans and game trails.
The Kootenai Falls Swinging Bridge, known to locals as just the Swinging Bridge, is a simple suspension footbridge that crosses the Kootenay River just downstream of Kootenai Falls.
The bridge was constructed by the US Forest Service in order to facilitate firefighter access to the forested mountains just north of the river.
Shortly thereafter, a new footbridge was built atop a pair of concrete piers in order to overtake the historic flood stage of the river.
Le Tourneau suggested it was most likely built at the end of the 13th century or at the beginning of the 14th century.
Marçais suggested, on the basis of its strong similarity to the Sidi Boumediene Mosque in Tlemcen, that it was built by the same architect and under the same ruler as the latter, thus placing its foundation in the reign of Sultan Abu al-Hasan, between 1331 and 1348.
In any case, the exact origin of the mosque has not been established, but its similarities to other Marinid mosques of the era is clear.

The New York City school boycott, known as Freedom Day, was a mass boycott and demonstration on February 3, 1964 to protest segregation in the New York City public school system.
Freedom Day was part of a larger effort by New York activists to target the Board of Education through acts of civil disobedience for their failure to implement a reasonable integration plan.
At the time of the boycott, schools that enrolled mostly black and Latino students tended to have inferior facilities, less experienced teachers and severe overcrowding, with some schools operating on split shifts of as little as four hours a day of class time for some students.
Opponents of integration, including a coalition of predominantly white neighborhood groups called Parents and Taxpayers, emphasized the importance of children attending schools closest to their homes and expressed concerns over busing.
Just prior to the boycott, Board of Education released a plan for integrating the schools over three years, including limited rezoning, improving educational quality in schools serving black and Latino students and reducing overcrowding.
The boycott was led by the Reverend Milton Galamison, who organized and chaired the Citywide Committee for Integrated Schools, supported by the NAACP, the Congress of Racial Equality, the National Urban League, the Harlem Parents' Committee, and the Parent's Workshop for Equality.
The committee recruited Bayard Rustin, a prominent activist who directed the successful March on Washington six months earlier, to organize the event.
On Monday, February 3, 1964, about 45 percent of all New York City students at the time stayed out of school in the boycott.
An estimated 464,361 students and teachers participated overall making the event the largest U.S. civil rights demonstration of the 1960s, nearly twice as big as the March on Washington.
An estimated 90,000 to 100,000 boycotting students attended alternative classes in makeshift Freedom Schools in which community educators taught lessons in religious institutions, recreational spaces, and private homes.
Of the city's 43,865 teachers, 3,357 were absent on the day, triple the usual number, despite threats from School Superintendent Bernard Donovan.
New York's newspapers expressed astonishment at the number of predominantly black and Puerto Rican students who participated and by the complete absence of violence or disorder from the demonstrators.
Despite being a significant event in the history of the civil rights movement, the New York City school boycott does not appear prominently in U.S. history textbooks, because it goes against the common narrative that important historical events aimed to combat racism in the United States occurred predominantly in the South.
The 1964 Civil Rights Act, enacted five months after the New York City school boycott, included a loophole that allowed school segregation to continue in major northern cities including New York City, Boston, Chicago and Detroit.

Igor Zygmunt Tuleya (Łódź, 24 August 1970) is a Polish lawyer, judge at the district court of Warsaw and former spokesperson for this court.
He's known for his criticism on government prosecutorial practices and his protests against judicial reforms, which he sees as a threat to the independence of the Polish judiciary.
In 2010 he was, after a judicial career of 14 years, appointed to the bench of the district court in Warsaw.
In 2012 he was also spokesperson of the court, a position that would be taken away as a result of his justification on the verdict in the Mirosław Garlicki case.
On January 4, 2013, he convicted the physician Mirosław Garlicki to a year inprisonment, two years suspension and a fine because he accepted a bribe of 17,500 zloty.
According to Tuleya, Garlicki was depicted as the personification of immoral behavior by physicians, and the post communist elite in general.
The judge compared the behavior of the services with that of the Stalinist regime with threats, nocturnal interrogations and unjustified detention.
Tuleya asked, like some other judges, the European Court of Justice to answer a prejudicial question on whether the new laws that were supposed to reform the Polish judicial system, were in accordance with European norms around judicial independence.
In September 2018, the disciplinary ombudsman asked him and two other judges to clarify their participation in television programs and the criticism that they stated.

This work is a two volume book about his grandparents, Lutheran missionaries Carl and Frieda Strehlow who served for many years at Hermannsburg Mission in the Northern Territory of Australia.
Strehlow received his early education from Adelaide Boys' High School from 1958 - 1963 and while at school he studied piano, clarinet and, later, the organ.
Strehlow studied Classics at the University of Adelaide from 1964 - 1966 before changing to Modern European and Asian History in 1967 from which he graduated with honours in 1969; his thesis analysed Mahatma Gandhi’s use of tradition to further the Indian independence movement.
In these university years Strehlow also reviewed theatre and film and, from 1968 until graduation, ran the student film society there.
Following graduation Strehlow spent 6 months in India, staying mostly in Calcutta and spent short periods in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran.
From 1970 - 1972 Strehlow taught drama in South Australia and during this period he met and established relationships with many Pitjantjatjara people and groups from the Flinders Ranges.
It is because of this that Strehlow decided to learn the Pitjantjatjara dialect and undertook a course at the University of Adelaide, under the Reverend Bill Edwards.
In 1975 Strehlow left Alice Springs after receiving a grant from the Australian Schools Commission to tour theatre and run workshops in all NT towns, as well as 12 Aboriginal settlements, performing to all age groups under a wide range of conditions for 6 months.
A big part of Strehlow doing this was to try and understand the predicament of Central Australia and the plight of the Aboriginal peoples living in the communities round Alice Springs; which so many of his family had devoted their lives to doing.
In 1976, inspired, Strehlow returned to Adelaide where he established a theatre company which would travel the world and perform to more than 300 theatres in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy.
In addition to writing play Strehlow has also written for newspapers and magazines, given interviews for radio and television and acted as an adviser for numerous cultural institutions holding materials relating to Aboriginal Australians.In 2000 he contributed to Mr Strehlow's Films (directed by Hart Cohen) based around the work of his father Ted Strehlow.
In the 1990s Strehlow became increasingly curious about the lives of his grandparents, Carl and Frieda Strehlow after discovering the existence of Frieda's diaries, written in old script German, in Berlin and the realisation that this personal record of her life in Hermannsburg, from 1897 and 1908 which revealed previously unknown details of their lives their and happenings in the community and more generally around Central Australia.
Strehlow began work on what would become a two volume set in 1994 and the final volume was published, in two parts, in 2019; the launch was held at The Residency in Alice Springs on 17 December 2019.
Research for this work took Strehlow to more than 50 archives in the UK, Germany and Australia and rests not only on Freida's diaries but other untapped sources only published in German (which Strehlow learnt for this purpose).
The ultimate result includes a detailed record of day-to-day life at Hermannsburg, the forming of stations in the area, the survival of the Arrernte and Luritja people in the area and the pressure the missionaries faced.

Manuel Candelaria Bautista (July 25, 1946 - September 2, 1976) was a Filipino student leader, campus journalist, and activist best known for his contributions as a student leader at the University of the Philippines Los Baños during the Martial Law dicatorship of Ferdinand Marcos.
He finished his elementary school studies at Pura V. Kalaw Elementary School in Project 4, Quezon City, and went to high school at the University of the Philippines High School, in Diliman, Quezon City.
He enrolled in a bachelor's degree course in Economics at the University of the Philippines College of Agriculture (UPCA), which would eventually become the University of the Philippines Los Baños.
Active in campus politics, he was first elected to the student council of the UPCA, and later as a representative to the University of the Philippines student council.
As student councilor at the UPCA, he helped spearhead the establishment of the Textbook Exchange and Rental Center (TERC), an institution which continues to serve the UPLB student body to this day.
As representative to the UP student council, he was one of several student whistleblowers who published an exposé in the Philippine Collegian, forcing the UP College of Forestry to back out of a 1969 project with a foreign chemical company involving the testing Agent Orange, a defoliant used by US Forces in the Vietnam War.
Bautista was in his senior year when Marcos first suspended the writ of habeas corpus in 1971 - a landmark event which led to the radicalization of many students against Marcos, and a precursor to the declaration of Martial Law a year later.
In protest, Bautista became one of many students who left the university in protest, and joined the underground movement against the Marcos regime.
This task became increasingly difficult after Marcos imposed martial law in 1972, with Bautista having to hide their editorial office and sources of materials, as well as ensuring safe and effective distribution of the newspapers.
In September 1976, Bautista was killed at age 30 after he and a number of associates from the underground had an encounter with Marcos forces in Tagkawayan, Quezon.
In 2001, Bautista was honored by having his name engraved on the wall of remembrance at the Bantayog ng mga Bayani, which honors martyrs and heroes from all political leanings and walks of life, as long as they fought against the Marcos dictatorship.
It debuted at number one in Finland and on both the UK Singles Chart and the Irish Singles Chart, becoming Eminem's tenth and eighth number-one single in the UK and Ireland, respectively, as well as the first for Juice Wrld posthumously and in total in both countries.

In the spring of 1940 Canada's Naval Staff realized that the RCN needed more vessels equipped with ASDIC sets for anti-submarine patrols in the St. Lawrence River and Pacific Coast.
By the end of 1940 with the first British Fairmile B motor launches completed, performance figures and a complete set of drawings and specifications were sent to Canada.
Although unimpressed with the trial results that showed that the Fairmile B was not quite maneuverable at slow speeds required for the ASDIC to work correctly, the need for more anti-submarine vessels was so great that the Naval Staff proceeded with the program.
As such, only thirteen Fairmiles built in the Great Lakes region were delivered in 1941, with only nine successfully arriving in Halifax and four laid up at Sarnia and Toronto due to winter storms.
Once in Halifax, only four of the Fairmiles could be kept operational due to a general shortage of naval personnel and all other available crews being prioritized to corvettes and minesweepers.
In July 1941 the Naval Staff let out another contract for twelve MLs in order to help provide for the defence of Newfoundland and adjacent waters.
Intended for anti-submarine patrols at St. John's, Botwood, and at Red Bay on the Strait of Belle Isle, continuing material shortages delayed the commissioning of these vessels to May and June 1942.
Originally designated and painted up as CML (coastal motor launch) 01-36, the Canadian Fairmile B was built of double mahogany wood with an eight-inch oak keel.
Based on a line of destroyer hulls, they arrived in prefabricated kits, ready to be assembled for the RCN by a number of different boatyards.
In contrast to the British built boats, the Canadian Fairmile was narrower, had a greater draught, and were slightly more powerful giving the Canadian boats a two knot speed advantage over the British boats.
A unique design feature of the Fairmile B was that with forty-eight hours notice each boat could be reconfigured to serve in a different role.
Fitted with steel strips and tapped holes to ease equipment swaps, weapons and specialist gear such as torpedo tubes, mines, depth charges, and guns could be quickly stripped and attached to the boat.
In two days, a Fairmile could have it's weapons and equipment reconfigured to serve as an escort, minesweeper, minelayer, navigation leader, coastal raider, patrol boat, ambulance or rescue launch.
During the Second World War the Canadian Fairmile B of the RCN played a vital role escorting shipping along the St. Lawrence River, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and between Newfoundland and the mainland of Canada.

This also remains the most acceptad identification, and is repeated in many works about Old Norse religion and the Viking Age.
The archeologist Neil Price notes that no clear attributes from Freyr's myths are present in the image, such as the god's sword, ship or boar.
If the identification is based solely on a symbol for a sexually active man, Price argues, there are many other possible candidates from Norse myth, legend and history.
The historian of religions Olof Sundqvist has suggested that the statuette could depict Freyr in his capacity as a model for kings.
Although he supports an identification with Freyr, the Norse studies scholar Richard Perkins has also suggested that the statuette could depict the god Thor, who blows in his beard to create wind.
Perkins also suggests that the sitting figure has adopted features from the Buddha, inspired by depictions such as the 6th-century Buddha statuette found on the Swedish island of Helgö.

He served as an assistant bishop in the Anglican Diocese of North Queensland from 2002 to 2015, and as National Bishop to the Torres Strait Islander people during that time.
He was educated at Nungalinya College and then spent his ministry supporting indigenous people in Far North Queensland and across Australia.
In 2002, Mabo was chosen as an Assistant Bishop in the Anglican Diocese of North Queensland following the death of his predecessor serving the Torres Strait Islands, Ted Mosby.
Mosby's appointment had coincided with a split in Torres Strait churches arising out of the merger of the former Anglican Diocese of Carpentaria, with some church choosing to secede and join the Traditional Anglican Communion as an independent church, the Church of Torres Strait, and then Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane Peter Hollingworth refusing the new church to use Anglican church buildings for its services.
Mabo was consecrated on 24 February 2002 in the All Souls and St Bartholomew's Cathedral Church on Thursday Island by Anglican Archbishop Phillip Aspinall.
Following Murray Island custom, Mabo was escorted from his home, 200 metres from the church, to the steps of the church by island elders.
Mabo spent his first year as bishop visiting the congregations who had broken away from the Diocese in 1997 and 1998 in protest at the appointment of Mosby.
As Bishop, Mabo spent time representing the Anglican Church of Australia on the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ecumenical Council.
Together with local Member of Parliament Warren Entsch, Mabo led a successful restoration project of the of the Quetta Church Hall on Thursday Island as a community initiative, with Entsch serving as Patron and Mabo as chair of the project.
Mabo also was instrumental in supporting the Torres Strait community following the murder of eight children in the Cairns suburb of Manoora in December 2014.
Mabo served as bishop until mid-2015 when he retired from the role, following which he became the local parish priest at All Souls and St Bartholomew's Cathedral Church.
Mabo died two days before his 70th birthday on 12 May 2017 after a short illness, his funeral service being held on 16 June 2017 at St Bartholemew's, the same place where he was consecrated as a Bishop in February 2002.

In 2015, Piasek and other survivors were reunited with one of the U.S. soldiers who helped liberate them 70 years earlier.
While at the museum, Piasek went to the cattle car on the third floor and narrated his liberation for his great-grandchildren and the other students on the trip.
While in the hospital, he took the opportunity to share his story with doctors, nurses, and patients at Wake Med Hospital (despite being in a neck brace and a wheelchair at the time).
Irish syllabic poetry, also known in its later form as Dán díreach (1200-1600), is the name given to complex syllabic poetry in the Irish language as written by monastic poets from the eighth century on, and later by professional poets in Ireland and Gaelic Scotland.
The monastic poets borrowed from both native and Latin traditions to create elaborate syllabic verse forms, and used them for religious and nature poetry.
They regarded themselves and were regarded by others as an integral part of the social and intellectual elite of medieval Ireland, a fact expressed through a subtle and cultivated poetic diction.
The Irish combination of end-rhyme, internal rhyme and alliteration, however, derives ultimately from the example of late Latin hymns, as elaborated by Irish monks.
Its use was taught by the late Classical writer Virgilius Marus Grammaticus, whose writings were well known in Ireland, and rhyme is found in some of the earliest Irish Latin hymns.
Such monastic lyrics appear from around the eighth century on, inspired by love of Nature, love of solitude and love of the Divine.
The professional poets continued to praise famous men, but in doing so adopted the new and sophisticated verse forms invented in the monastic environment.
It has been observed that the praise poem possibly represented a survival of paganism, insofar as it was thought to enhance the good fortune of the lord (the poet’s patron) to whom it was addressed.
It has also been noted that the trained professional poet was a court official employed for a specific purpose and was esteemed accordingly.
Poets belonged to particular families and each poet had a particular aristocratic patron, though it was acceptable to visit patrons other than one’s own.
There are also examples of praise poems written for aristocratic women, usually referring to their descent, their beauty, their generosity and their other admirable qualities.
In them it was expected that pupils would master the complex forms of their art and acquire knowledge of Irish history and literature.
A pupil would need to attend such a school for six or seven years before being eligible to reach the summit of his profession.
The poets used a standard literary dialect, which was taught, it is likely, in the schools from the early 13th century on and which lasted unchanged until the 17th century, regardless of the changes which were occurring in popular speech.
There were manuals for the purpose, composed perhaps in the fifteenth century and containing samples of the work of acknowledged masters.
Seventeenth century Ireland, which experienced periods of great political turmoil, saw the gradual replacement of aristocratic native patrons by incomers of mostly English origin who had little interest in indigenous traditions.
An example of the transition is the oeuvre of Dáibhí Ó Bruadair (c.1625-1698), whose life covered almost the entire century and whose work contains examples of both kinds of verse.

Michel Imbert (born on 29 June 1935 in Béziers, France) is a neuropsychologist teacher-researcher in cognitive neurosciences, professor emeritus at Pierre-et-Marie-Curie University (since 2003) and honorary director of studies at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS).
After studies at the Sorbonne, in philosophy (licentiate in 1957) and psychology (licentiate in 1958), and at the Faculty of Sciences in Paris (licentiate in natural sciences, 1961, doctorate in natural sciences, 1967), Michel Imbert was a lecturer (2nd class professor) at the Faculty of Sciences in Toulouse (1967).
Returning to Paris in 1972 as Assistant Director at the Collège de France in the Chair of Neurophysiology headed by Professor Yves Laporte, Michel Imbert was appointed Professor of Neurophysiology at the Paris-Sud University at Orsay (1981), then at the University Pierre-et-Marie-Curie (1983).
In 1987, he was appointed director of studies at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS); he created the Master (DEA) in Cognitive Sciences, which has since become a master's degree (Cogmaster).
In 1993, he created the Brain and Cognition Research Centre (CERCO) at the Paul-Sabatier University in Toulouse, a joint University-CNRS-EHESS unit, of which he was director until 2000.
Elected senior member at the Institut universitaire de France (IUF), he has been an honorary member of the Perceptive Systems Laboratory (LSP) at the Institut d'Étude de la Cognition at the École normale supérieure since 2003.
He is also a member of the Academia Europaea (since 1989) and a corresponding member of the French Academy of sciences (since 1993).
At the end of the 1950s, Michel Imbert demonstrated, with Pierre Buser, the existence of a convergence of visual, auditory and somesthesic signals at the level of the pre-central cortex in cats.
He carried out his first work on the post-natal development of the visual system at the Collège de France in the Chair of Neurophysiology of which he is the deputy director.
He established that neurons selective to the orientation of a visual stimulus are present in the primary visual cortex prior to any visual experience.
He demonstrates that extra-ocular proprioceptive afferents play a determining role in the development of properties previously considered exclusively visual, and, in the primate, he establishes that the coding of three-dimensional vision is dependent on oculomotor vergence signals.
Contrary to what was then generally accepted, retinal afferents are not distributed in the kneeling body and the lateral superior colliculus in distinct layers according to competitive mechanisms assigning their place to the axons of the ganglion cells originating from each eye.
Thus, despite the absence of competition, the related fibres occupy the areas intended to receive them without completely re-inverting the previously deafferented areas.
Before opening the gallery, the Puckers had been earning a living by setting up temporary art exhibitions and sales of Israeli art at synagogues in the area, while Bernard studied for a PhD in Modern Jewish History at Brandeis University.

Ruby Alline Bullock was born on December 1, 1936, the second child of Zelma Priscilla (née Currie) and first to Floyd Richard Bullock.
She had a half-sister, Evelyn Juanita Currie, who was a year older and a younger sister, Anna Mae Bullock, three years her junior.
Her family lived in Nutbush, Tennessee where her father worked as an overseer of the sharecroppers at Poindexter Farm on Highway 180.
During World War II, her parents moved up north for work and she was kept at her maternal grandparents home while her younger sister was kept at her paternal grandparents.

Rogers was born in Newport, Rhode Island to a prominent family, the son of Cornelia (Arnold) and Reverend Arthur Rogers, an Episcopal priest.
His paternal grandfather, prominent jurist Horatio Rogers Jr., was elected state attorney general twice and served at the time on the Rhode Island Supreme Court.
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Private Horatio R. Rogers (ASN: 291666), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company C, 344th Tank Battalion, Tank Corps, A.E.F., near Exermont, France, 4 October 1918.
Acting as a runner, Private Rogers, upon learning that there was a scarcity of tank drivers, begged permission to drive a tank.
Permission being granted, he drove his tank well in advance of the Infantry until the officer in command of his tank became wounded by enemy fire.
Private Rogers left the shelter of his tank and crawled to other tanks of his company, carrying messages from his wounded officer.
This duty was performed in the face of heavy artillery, machine-gun, and rifle fire, and was carried on until Private Rogers was severely wounded.
After his Army service, Rogers attended the University of Chicago and Harvard Law School; he practiced law for a short time before joining the faculty of the University of South Dakota College of Law.
Following American entry into World War II, Rogers rejoined the Army and was commissioned as a captain in the office of the Provost Marshal General.

Cole Bartiromo, also officially called by himself after his prison time as The Dollar Scholar, is an American blogger and former scammer, convicted felon, and public speaker from Mission Viejo, California.
When Bartiromo was very young, he had a desire for fast-and-easy moneymaking not only out of avarice but also his family’s poor financial situation, where the Bartiromos faced bankruptcy twice and a home foreclosure in the 1990s.
His first online financial frauds were done with his father in 2000, when he went around eBay taking money from would-be sports card collectors.
The next year, while still in high school, he ran two online securities fraud operations that got him in trouble with the SEC.
The SEC filed an enforcement charge against IB2001 on December 13, 2001, and, with the help of research by two sports card collectors previously scammed by Bartiromo, identified the 17-year-old as the person behind IB2001 on January 7, 2002.
On that day, he garnered national news attention for being the second youngest person, at the time, to commit an online fraud, behind a 15-year-old New Jersey resident named Jonathan Lebed.
Due to the SEC’s IB2001 charge and another one filed on April 7, 2002 against Bartiromo for his pump-and-dump scheme, he not only had to give the victims their money back but also face a $1.2 million civil penalty that ballooned to $2.7 million in 2010 due to interest.
In 2004, as a result of charges by the SEC for mail and wire fraud and bank fraud for Ebay scams and bank account wiring schemes he committed in 2003, he faced a 33-month federal prison sentence and was prohibited from using the internet as part of his probation until 2010.
One of them was for his involvement in running the crime investigation blog NewsBall, particularly its posts relating to the murder of Skylar Neese; started in 2013, the blog revealed private details about crimes and incidents not normally covered by mainstream news outlets for ethical reasons.
During the 2016 presidential election, he was being covered in the national news for his activities as a supporter of Donald Trump, posting anti-Muslim messages on his Facebook page and facing a cut on his forehead while fighting with protestors at Costa Mesa.
His parents were John Bartiromo (born circa 1958), who had sixteen years of working as a material handler at Southern California Edison as of 2002, and Jeanise (also born circa 1958), a junior college instructor where she taught to interpreters and also ran a daycare.
While at Trabuco Hills High School, Bartiromo played on the Mustangs team and had aspirations of becoming a professional baseball player.
This was first evident when he sold candy bars to his neighbors as part of fundraising events for his little league baseball team and set the prices a few dollars higher than what he was allowed to sell them at.
By April 1993, their $2,800 monthly income was around $200 below what they were required to pay, including a time-share at the Las Vegas-based Jockey Club Resort which they owed $4,000.
In April 1997, they filed bankruptcy again, this time from John failing to pay over $23,000 of his mortgage, further worsened by a lender increasing the amount to $237,419.
The court chose to dismiss it in May 1997 and prohibited another petition for six months, resulting in the family’s three-bedroom and two-bath home to be foreclosed by a bank in the summer of that year.
Cole’s peers were aware of his obsession with sports cards and were annoyed by his boasts of profiting off them; one of his classmates recalled in 2002 that the space of Bartiromos’ living room was taken up by sports memorabilia such as signs, pictures, and posters.
He bought large amounts of penny stocks, for some days close to half of the volume, and spread more than 6,000 messages on message boards falsely hyping up the stocks.
Fifteen publicly traded companies bought into the messages, and Bartiromo traded millions of shares with them; as a result, their stock prices went down.
In one night, his stock account went up from $5,000 to $50,000 from the scheme, and the net profit he made totaled more than $91,000.
While operating the scheme, he was shocked how easy it was to dupe trading companies into fraudulent stock offers on the web.
From November 1 to December 15, 2001, when Bartiromo was a senior in high school, he operated a securities fraud service named Invest Better 2001 (IB2001), which consisted of a website and a MSN Networks Communities bulletin board that shut down on December 15.
To make the operation uncatchable to law enforcement, Bartiromo kept transferring the funds to different e-commerce sites to avoid them, although he told his investors it was simply to prevent the funds from being hacked.
In the end of that month, the SEC called Danny Matson, whose name was used as a credit for being an administrator and billing contact for IB2001.
The commission learned Matson actually knew nothing about the securities fraud and that he really was a sports card collector who was owed $25,000 for a card a man named Tim Marino offered him online.
Matson then phoned San Jose sports card collector Ramon Sanchez, another one of Marino’s victims who bought a Michael Jordan rookie card from him in October 2001 but never actually got it.
Both Matson and Sanchez decided to search for the operator of IB2001 by contacting its clients, one of them sending the investor forum of the service’s message boards.
It featured a comment from an account named mariners116, who the two suspected was run by Bartiromo given that he was a big fan of the Seattle Mariners according to his friends.
On April 29, 2002, the SEC filed another complaint against Bartiromo for the pump-and-dump scheme, citing violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5.
A partial final settlement was ordered by the court on May 29 requiring him to disgorge all of the money made from the scheme.
On May 4, 2005, a final order was made for the two complaints, a civil penalty of $1,273,371 imposed on Bartiromo by judge Barbara S. Jones.
The same day the news articles were being published, Bartiromo became a celebrity at the school, so much so that a teacher asked him for his autograph.
There were debates in civics classes about whether Bartiromo was to be blamed or the lack of thinking on the victims.
Bartiromo’s neighbors and other acquatances were also shocked, given that, while he operated IB2001, they only noticed him acting ordinary for a teenager, like watching other people’s dogs, working at a pizzeria, shooting hoops, and successfully attending all of his baseball practices.
During a winter game he played, his father apologized to the attending parents for the media coverage of his son’s scam.
In 2003, Bartiromo scammed successful North American Ebay bidders out of money they used for buying telephones, tire rims, and other items that he never shipped.
Then, on August 24 of that year, Bartiromo tried to wire $450,000 out of an account from a Wells Fargo bank in Mission Viejo in order to have money for gambling with a London sportsbook.
He asked, under false identification given by 20-year-old Theo Liu, to wire the account as well as cash the checks made from the Ebay scam.
The employee, who was recruited by Oscar Godinez, also 20 years old, for Bartiromo, told the bank’s supervisor about the possible fraud.
The supervisor contacted the United States Secret Service, which set up a dummy account for Bartiromo to transfer the money to.
In an newspaper interview published that same day, Bartiromo claimed he was only going to use $40,000 of the money in the account, the other money going to Godinez and Liu.
He also argued that the government set him up for the fraud, but this was denied by a Los Angeles attorney spokesman named Them Mrozek.
On March 1, 2004, Bartiromo plead guilty to not only the bank fraud charge but also mail and wire fraud for his Ebay scam, which he admitted to doing during his plead.
He was still under probation, meaning he was not allowed to use the internet, after his sentence was finished until 2010.
By December 2010, Bartiromo was living with his family unemployed and poor, his 2005 $1.2 million penalty rose to $2.7 million due to interest, and he was also taxed $1.1 million by the IRS for IB2001.
From the 2000s decade to 2010, Bartiromo spoke in various interviews and criminal testimonies about turning his life around, aspiring to write a movie, a book, and rap songs about his life, own the Seattle Mariners, and work as an entrepreneur.
Bartiromo had a brief stint in 2010 performing public speaking events about the consequences of the schemes he committed at schools such as UC Berkeley in the summer and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona in December.
In 2013, Bartiromo began Newsball, a blog that was initially meant to present his social media pranks; on Facebook, he created fake profiles of notorious people being covered by popular news sources, including Jared Lee Loughner and James DiMaggio.
He would continue pulling off these type of pranks in 2016, when on July 17 of that year, the day Gavin Eugene Long murdered six policemen in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Bartiromo set up a hoax account on Facebook that was under Long’s name.
Later in 2013, however, Newsball transitioned into a blog exposing information most mainstream news outlets would otherwise not share publicly for ethical reasons, including the names of those only somewhat related to incidents, victims, and underage people that have committed crimes.
His actions on the blog when related to notable news stories included uploading pictures of Paul Walker’s dead body in a car crash, and criticizing the jurors of George Zimmerman’s murder trial for rolling against the defendant.
Before Neese’s two underaged killers were charged, Bartiromo looked for the names of them by scouring social media profiles; in addition to posting the names publicly on Newsball, he used their accounts of the killers and their friends to post several videos and photos of them as well as posting the names of the friends that refused to ask his questions.
According to Daleen Berry, who wrote a book about Neese’s death, she received emails from the teenagers Bartiromo contacted that claimed he threatened them and their families for information; these claims were denied by Bartiromo in 2014.
On April 28, 2016, during the 2016 presidential election, Bartiromo went to a rally for the candidate he supported, Donald Trump, held at Costa Mesa's Pacific Amphitheatre.
When trying to retrieve it, he was punch and slurred at by the rioters before his head got bashed opened on an asphalt ground.
Coverage about the incident brought up his history of notorious quick-money scams and blogging activities, as well as anti-Muslim posts that were posted on his Facebook account.
After completing four years of military service, the father of the deceased, who had arrived in the village, never returned to his camp.
Krishnan, who was known for his ability to applaud the talented and give away everything at hand, was the famous editor RS.
Adrián Horst Gilberto Goransch García (born 25 January 1999) is a German-Mexican professional footballer who plays as a defender for Liga MX side Club América.
Born in Puebla, Mexico to a German father and a Mexican mother, his family moved to Wolfsburg when Adrián was 3 years old.
On 23 January 2020, Club América coach Miguel Herrera announced that even though Goransch was included in the first team roster, he will be loaned to an Ascenso MX team due to his status as a non-Mexican under Liga MX statutes.
On 30 January 2020, Goransch joined Zacatepec on loan from Club América for the remainder of the Ascenso MX Clausura 2020 season.
Socialist candidate Norman Thomas also ran, as did Socialist Labor candidate Olive M. Johnson and former Police Commissioner Richard Edward Enright for the Square Deal Party.
Walker won with a plurality of 497,165 votes, which had been the largest ever recorded for a mayoral candidate up to that time, and won the absolute majority of votes in all five boroughs.
The results were part of a larger Democratic landslide in which Democrats won the position of President of the Board of Aldermen, Comptroller, all positions in Brooklyn, and all Borough Presidencies except Queens, and gained 2 seats in the Assembly and 3 in the Board of Aldermen from Republicans.
The Port of Melilla is a cargo, fishing, and passenger port and marina located in Melilla, a Spanish autonomous city off the coast of North Africa.
During the Middle Ages the port presumably played a part in the interchange of gold, ivory, slaves and cereals imported by the Caliphate of Córdoba in exchange for perfume, leather, silk and fabric.
During the time of the Spanish protectorate in Morocco, the iron ore mined from the hinterland was loaded in the port of Melilla by the (CEMR).
In the late 1970s many of the obsolescent Tait carriages were taken from Melbourne to Kingston and disposed of by being set on fire.

Concerning the 2017 data in the charts below (in this section and the following sections) deaths from the various drugs add up to more than 70,200 because multiple drugs are involved in many of the deaths.
In 2017, the five states with the highest rates of death due to drug overdose were West Virginia (57.8 per 100,000), Ohio (46.3 per 100,000), Pennsylvania (44.3 per 100,000), Kentucky (37.2 per 100,000), and New Hampshire (37.0 per 100,000).
Robbs Jetty Abattoir was an operation that was part of the Western Australia government meat export industry between 1921 and 1994.
The abattoir grew out of a complex of private meatworks established in the late 19th century, including Forrest, Emanuel & Company and Connor, Doherty & Durack.
In 1921 the Fremantle Freezing Works began operation as one of the three State Government regulated abattoirs under the 1909 Abattoir Act.
The trains route was from Badjaling to Robbs Jetty and it usually required changes in the locomotive being used over the route.
The Midland Junction abattoir was operating at approximately the same time as the Robbs Jetty operation, as well as the Wyndham Meatworks 1919 to 1985.
All of these operations were linked to the Western Australia's meat industry efforts to have adequate facility to be involved in meat export.
The chimney is the only remaining part of the large complex of buildings which included offices, holding yards, freezer and chiller facilities.
In 1634, Russian Cossacks, headed by Voin Shakhov, established a winter settlement at the confluence of the Vilyuy and Tyukyan rivers.
This settlement served as the seat of administration of the surrounding area for several decades, after which it was moved to the Yolyonnyokh area down by the Vilyuy River.
The Tyukyan River has its source in the eastern part of the Central Siberian Plateau in a swampy area of the Tyung River basin, just south of the Arctic Circle, at an elevation of about .
When it reaches the Central Yakutian Lowland it begins to meander strongly among swamps and small lakes, flowing roughly southwards, until it meets the left bank of the Vilyuy near Verkhnevilyuysk.
Peder Harboe Hertzberg (July 4, 1728 – January 1, 1802) was a Norwegian priest best known for his efforts in educating the public during the introduction of potato cultivation in Norway.
He was the father of the priest and politician Niels Hertzberg and the grandfather of the theologian, educator, and politician Nils Christian Egede Hertzberg.
Sessão do Conselho de Estado (Session of the State Council) is an artwork of the genre historical painting made by Georgina de Albuquerque in 1922.
The artwork is part of the collection in exposition of the National Historical Museum of Brazil, in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
It's a work of Brazilian academic art done by a Brazilian woman, when at the time that type of painting was mainly made by men.
It also shows a gender perspective of Brazilian independence, insofar as it highlights the participation of the then princess Maria Leopoldina in the political process of colonial rupture of 1822.
Albuquerque won the prize of the Exposition of Contemporary Art and Retrospective Art of the Independence Centenary, a competition held on the centenary of Brazilian independence.
The prize was the buying of a painting by the federal government, to become part of the collection of the (National School of Fine Arts).
In addition to the table, there are chairs and a console table, over which there is a candelabrum and a clock showing 11 o'clock.
The focus of the painting is Maria Leopoldina, in a meeting with the Council of the Attorneys-general of the Provinces of Brazil, in the Paco Imperial, in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
Are present in the meeting José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva, the Patriarch of the Independence, with whom Maria Leopoldina interacts, and Martim Francisco Ribeiro de Andrada, sitting.
Albuquerque's intention was to portray the moment when the princess, under the advice of José Bonifácio, prepares a letter to Dom Pedro, encouraging him to end Brasil's colonial status.
In 1922, Bertha Lutz and other suffragists organised the First Feminist Congress of Brazil and founded the Brazilian Federation for Women's Progress.
In 1920, she participated in an academical jury for an artistic competition, being the first woman to participate in a jury of this type in Brazil.
The portrayal of the scene from 1822 was done based on research in the (National School of Fine Arts) and the Brazilian Historic and Geographic Institute.
Therefore, the transition is also present in the painting, insofar as it combines modernism, an artistic movement on the rise at the time, and academicism, which was already in decline.
Also identified were impressionist influences, like the dilution of reality, in which, despite it being possible to recognise the figures, they aren't portrayed precisely.
In that painting, the proclamation of Independence is portrayed based on the heroization of Dom Pedro, with raised sword, in a triumphal scene.
Albuquerque counters the depiction by Pedro Américo by: choosing a woman as central character, inverting the expected position between the characters, with the secondary characters above the protagonist, choosing a impressionist style, and working in the field of historical painting, normally exclusively male.
That contributes to a historiographic current that doesn't presents the end of colonial status as a rupture, but as a gradual national process, during which the State Council guaranteed cohesion and stability.
Albuquerque's painting counters the artwork (1921) (Portrait of Dona Leopoldina of Habsburg and her children), by Domenico Failutti, also made for the celebrations of the Brazilian Independence centenary.
On one hand, in her artwork, Albuquerque seemed to have echoed the feminist struggle by putting the princess in the role of historical subject, contradicting the dominant ideology that only domestic roles are fit for women.
That was actually a declared choice by the then director of the (Paulista Museum) Afonso d'Escragnolle Taunay, when he commissioned the painting to Failutti.
The portrayal of the princess as protagonist of the Independence also contradicts the academicist convention of depicting women as allegories of the nation, violated by colonisation.
Maria Leopoldina, in Albuquerque's perspective, is not a victim or passive character, but an agent in the process of rupture with colonial status.
The painting was selected in 1923, together with artworks by Augusto Bracet, Helios Seelinger and Pedro Paulo Bruno, to be bought by the public art collection, the main prize of this fine arts event with a goal of acquiring works that alluded to the national formation of Brazil.
The selection was made by Flexa Ribeiro, Archimedes Memória and Rodolfo Chambelland, with their task being searching for new iconographic portrayals of historical interpretations of independence.
The artwork, particularly due to its size, lead Albuquerque to consolidate herself as a exponent in the academicist movement in Brazil, specially of the (National School of Fine Arts), of which she became director in 1952.
Furthermore, she is considered exemplar for having consolidated herself as professional painter in a field that until then was fundamentally dominated by men.

On 13 August 1919 she departed Brest, France with 30 US Army officers and 846 enlisted men arriving at Hoboken, New Jersey on 4 September 1919.
She returned to Brest, France arriving on 13 September 1919 to bring home 67 officers, 1,699 doughboys soldiers, taking them to New York City quarantine place off Staten Island, arriving on 25 September.
On 17 March 1943 400 miles off of Cape Farewell, Greenland she was hit by torpedoes from German submarine () U-91.
The Barbados Defence Force Band (also known as the Zouave Band), is a musical element of the reserve units that make up the Headquarters Company, Barbados Regiment and the Barbados Defence Force.
The musicians mainly range in ages between 18 and 50 years old and perform several types of music from light classics to Barbadian native music.
It has also participated military events of the Jamaican Defence Force, parading alongside the JDF Band, The Jamaica Regiment Band and Corps of Drums at the request of the JDF.
A full band was raised in 1973 as the Band and Drums of the Barbados Regiment and was fully resuscitated in 1987 for the occasion of the Trooping the Colour parade in Barbados.
It remained active until the early 1990s, and after a brief hiatus, the band was again revived as the Barbados Defence Force Band.
In 1999, an improvement and substantial growth of the band facilitated their first major performance at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo that year.
The BDF Band traces its history back to the West India Regiment Band, which is considered to be the precursor to most Caribbean military bands under the control of the British Army.
In 1856, a type of uniform was adopted for the regiments, modeled on that of the French Zouaves (see illustration above).
The uniform was first paraded in Barbados in 1858 and subsequently adopted by the Band and Drums of the Barbados Regiment and the Barbados Defence Force Band as a symbolic tribute to the old Band of the West India Regiment.
It comprises a red fez wound by a white turban, scarlet sleeveless jacket with elaborate yellow braiding worn over a long-sleeved white waistcoat, and a dark blue voluminous breeches piped in yellow.
She was immediately struck with the style of the uniform and the British Army to adopt the uniform for one of its regiments, with the honour being conferred onto the West India Regiment.
As a four-year old child, he was pushed by his parents into learning the piano, which he disliked to practice with.
After his voice changed, he left the choir and learnt how to play the guitar, which eventually led him to joining a hardcore punk metal band.
Lange's later interest in Aphex Twin and Nine Inch Nails spiked his interest in recording demos and learning how to produce music.
Lange initially experimented with programming basic beats on Fruity Loops and Acid Pro, later mixing them with his recorded guitar audio.
He is a graduate from the Berklee College of Music, where he studied music synthesis involving composition-based music production and sound design.
While Lange was writing his senior thesis in Berklee at the age of 21, he was introduced to American musician BT by his professor Dr. Boulanger who was BT's mentor.
Prior to that, Lange self-released an IDM and glitch album in 2007 under his alias Altered Tensions, which was influenced by artists Richard Devine and Telefon Tel Aviv.
In 2011, Lange founded his own label, IsoRhythm, in response to his inclinations to release his music without dealing with the schedules and bureaucracies of other labels.
In 2015, Deadmau5's label Mau5trap reached out to Lange upon hearing a techno track he had produced, and Lange responded by sending the label a number of his unreleased techno tracks.
Lange, together with other Mau5trap artists Attlas, Rezz, and Steve Duda, were announced for a collaborative Mau5trap Bus Tour on February 2016.
Piacentile, a right-handed player, competed on the professional tour in the 1980s, reaching a best singles ranking of 195 in the world.
As a doubles player he made three appearance in the main draw of the French Open and won a Challenger title in Salou in 1988.
The station began experiencing financial and personnel turmoil in the late 1970s; when the early 1980s recession hit the region hard, public support fell, and the school board closed the station in 1983.
The St. John School Township filed for a construction permit for a new noncommercial educational TV station licensed to St. John on April 23, 1965.
Originally seeking channel 66, allocated to nearby Gary, the application was amended that summer to reflect an overhauled table of UHF allocations which set aside channel 50 in place of 66.
Lake Central applied for the station after learning it would be cheaper than installing a closed-circuit system and could be paid for with matching federal grants.
Lake Central became the first secondary school in the United States to operate a television station when WCAE began broadcasting on September 26, making it the first educational TV station in Indiana.
Channel 50 immediately demonstrated its interest in serving the northwest Indiana area—which received stations from Chicago—with a newscast and Friday night sports programming, as well as coverage of the Indiana state high school basketball tournament and Indiana University athletics, a news program focusing on events from area high schools, and other informational programming.
In a prank, three teenagers, all students at Lake Central, climbed the tower one day in March and flew a white flag—believed to be a bed sheet—from atop the mast.
Signs were on the horizon of facility and programming improvements, particularly as Indiana began to develop an educational television network and the school worked with Indiana University and Purdue University to be connected to potential educational programming to be produced by the schools.
The Gary National Bank donated $15,000 in equipment—a translator on channel 72—to be installed atop its building in downtown Gary and provide a better signal there.
Channel 50 also slated its first-ever telecast of a Lake Central basketball game in January 1969, and the station also began its annual televised auction, which in later years would become one of WCAE's largest fundraising events.
August brought a microwave installation to link the station with the new Indiana Educational Television Network, originating from Indianapolis; that fall, a television vocational class was added to the Lake Central High School curriculum, and the station joined National Educational Television.
WCAE, which shut down over school breaks, was able to broadcast through the summer for the first time in 1971 thanks to increased funding.
Channel 50 was also one of two PBS stations that received post office approval to change its address to 123 Sesame Street.
The promise of technical improvements for WCAE grew in 1970 when channel 50 was donated five acres of land owned by the American Oil Company in Hammond for a new transmitter site, with plans to convert WCAE to broadcast network shows in color and expand the station's coverage.
However, it would be several years before the facility was constructed, with one delay occurring because WCAE did not apply to local authorities for the necessary permits, halting work for months.
On October 21, 1974, WCAE activated the new tower and color transmitter, including a power increase to 2,372 kilowatts from 14.
The new color transmitter, however, did not come with color cameras and studio equipment, so all of WCAE's local programming remained in black and white.
1978 would prove to be a pivotal year in the history of WCAE, and ultimately, of public broadcasting in northwest Indiana.
In February, station manager John Nelson announced that WCAE would cut all local programming, including its evening newscast and sports programs, because the station's production equipment was in need of replacement and repair and the transmitter was behind on maintenance due to lack of funds; Nelson sought to convert WCAE to full-color operation and immediately began a capital development campaign.
The station's financial problems, detailed in a report by Nelson, spurred probes by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, concerned about the state of the WCAE physical plant, which prompted the station to be off the air at times.
At the same time, a critical development took place: a schism between the Lake Central school board and the station advisory board.
The latter began to advocate for the transfer of the WCAE license to a nonprofit community group, but compromise was forestalled when the school board fired WCAE's development director.
Station board members felt that the operating structure of WCAE did not lend itself to a viable public television station for northwest Indiana; the school board president proposed replacing the entire advisory board and shutting down channel 50 for 30 to 60 days as an alternative.
With a new, more school-board friendly advisory board installed, several former members of the advisory committee formed their own group—Northwest Indiana Public Broadcasting—and applied for vacant channel 56.
They soon amended their application to specify channel 62 at Hammond after GWWX-TV, Inc., applied for channel 56 as well, proposing northwest Indiana's first commercial station and part-time subscription television operation.
WCAE remained a pass-through for network programming for more than a year while more than $200,000 in new color equipment was ordered; the only local production in early 1979, a series of high school basketball tournaments, was done with leased equipment.
A new color film chain was inaugurated in June, while money was also spent to add climate and air control at the transmitter site, where air pollution had posed problems for the equipment.
Inland Steel and other donors shied away from supporting the station because it was off the air frequently; a month-long outage in the winter of 1978–79 occurred due to a failure in a heat exchanger, while a short in several feed lines caused another 17-day shutdown in June.
However, support eventually increased, and additional local shows that had been cut in 1978 returned to the schedule in late 1979.
1980 saw another high-profile dispute when all but one of the station's full-time staffers sent a memo to general manager Lou Iaconetti asking for the dismissal of station manager John Jage, 12 days before he resigned.
In May, the station cut its broadcast day due to financial hardships, crimped by reduced federal contributions and a drop in donations, exacerbated by high unemployment in the Calumet Region.
Manager Iaconetti warned that participation in the annual auction had dipped significantly after Lake Central school board member Michael Klausman criticized the station, publicly pleading for it to be transferred from the school corporation.
In September, the school board voted 4–1 to allow WCAE to operate in a deficit, with the station not having enough money to make payroll.
In December, a new contract was signed with teachers, assuming that the money in the 1983 budget set aside for WCAE would not be spent for the station.
Additionally, the cutbacks in broadcasting hours did not save much money, and cutting further would have endangered the station's eligibility for federal grants.
On February 21, 1983, the Lake Central school board unanimously approved a plan from superintendent Thomas Roman to shutter WCAE by April 1, agreeing that their subsidy for channel 50 could be better used toward teachers and supplies.
Station personnel noted that despite being based in northwest Indiana, channel 50 had gotten better support from its viewers in Illinois.
A 1982 report had considered almost 30 of the nearly 300 PBS member stations as in danger of shutting down, but WCAE was the only one that actually folded.
One was Northwest Indiana Public Broadcasting, the group formed by ex-WCAE advisory board members, which planned to move the facility from St. John to a more accessible site near a highway.
As the school board canceled its management contract with Iaconetti, the school board selected NIPB's offer over the church and a theater troupe from Park Forest, Illinois and approved the transfer of the license to the community group.
In 1984, Amoco offered to purchase the former WCAE tower, which it used for its own communication needs, from Lake Central.
Fred Eychaner, owner of Chicago's WPWR-TV on channel 60, acquired the construction permit for Gary's channel 56, bearing the call letters WDAI, from Great Lakes Broadcasting—the former GWWX-TV.
He then proposed to Northwest Indiana Public Broadcasting that the two parties seek to switch the commercial and noncommercial allocations, so that the unbuilt WDAI construction permit could be relocated to channel 50 from the Sears Tower, while NIPB would operate on channel 56—neither needing nor desiring to operate from the Sears Tower.
NIPB received money in the deal and also was happy to shed itself of any association with the prior channel 50 operation of WCAE.
In November 1984, Eychaner's Metrowest Corporation, the owner of WPWR, alongside Great Lakes, holder of the WDAI construction permit, and Northwest Indiana Public Broadcasting petitioned the commission to allow such swaps.
The FCC approved such swaps among channels in the same band, as was the case with the two UHF stations, in March 1986, and in August, the commission issued final orders switching the commercial and noncommercial allocations for Gary.
This allowed Metrowest to proceed with its plan of moving the WPWR-TV intellectual unit from channel 60 to channel 50 while selling the channel 60 license.
Using the WCAE license on channel 56, Northwest Indiana Public Broadcasting launched its new station as WYIN on November 15, 1987.
Iaconnetti later returned to the Lake Central school system, teaching physical education in several elementary schools; he died in 1998 after a battle with cancer.
Folger Estate Stable Historic District also known as Jones Ranch, Mountain Home Ranch, is located at 4040 Woodside Road in Woodside, California at Wunderlich Park, with the majority of the historic buildings built between 1905 and 1906.
The historic district is a three acre site with ten buildings, including the main horse stable building, carriage house, stone walls lining the roads, blacksmith barn, and the cold house.
The site of the Folger Estate was a Redwood forest occupied by the Ohlone Native Americans, prior to the arrival of Europeans.
After Brown heavily logged the land (specifically near Folgers Estate) he abandoned the property and it changed ownership more than nine times.
The Jones family had the stone structures (the dairy house and many of the stone walls) built between 1874 and 1902, as well as a wooden house, barn and related buildings which was torn down in the 1970s and 1980s.
A. Folger and Folgers Coffee Company, built the estate and stables between 1905 and 1906, this is considered the historically significant period of architecture (per the National Park Service).
The house and stable were designed by the architectural firm of Schultze and Brown and the design was influenced by French Baroque architecture and the Arts and Crafts movement.
A recent graduate of the Ecole des Beaux Arts, this architectural site was Arthur Brown Jr.'s first California design project and he went on to design San Francisco City Hall, the War Memorial Opera House, and Hoover Tower at Stanford University.
The horse stable consisted of stalls, tack and harness rooms, a carriage room, feed rooms, living quarters for staff, workshop and boiler room, with hay storage on the lofted second floor.
In 1955, the house which is located a half-mile away from the stables was sold as a separate property and is a private residence.
In 1956, the stable and adjoining 940+ acres of land were sold to Martin Wunderlich, who later donated it to the county for a public park.
In 1974, the property became part of Wunderlich Park, with the Folger Estate Stable Historic District occupying 3-acres, within the 945-acre county park.
He was the son of the late Eloise Nelson Livingston, a school teacher from Greensboro, NC and Walter R Livingston, Sr., a lawyer and mechanical engineer from Marianna, FL.
On being honorably discharged he attended the University of Pennsylvania and received a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1949 and a Master of City Planning degree in 1955.
Their love endured for 60 years and together, they had six children, three boys and three girls followed by twelve grandchildren and are also survived by eight great grands and three great-great grandchildren.
In 1960 Mr. Livingston opened his first architecture firm in partnership and continued practicing for nearly fifty years as the senior partner with several firms.
During that time he was responsible for the design of more than three quarters of a billion dollars of construction projects including residential, commercial, institutional and industrial type buildings.
In 1976 his peers honored him when he was invested into the Fellow of the American Institute of Architects for his outstanding contribution to the field of Architecture, the first and only black Philadelphian to receive this honor.
Notable buildings designed by his firms, include the Justice Juanita Kidd Stout Center for Criminal Justice, Zion Baptist Church, the Triumph Baptist Church, the Edison/Fareira High School, the Martin Luther King Recreation Center, the West Branch YMCA, the Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts, the Ada B. George Dining Hall at Cheyney University, a number of mini-rise apartment buildings, and many other buildings.
He was licensed to practice architecture in the states of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Indiana, and certified by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards.
He was a Past President of the Philadelphia Urban League, who in 1994 awarded him the Whitney Young Heritage Award for his contribution to the community.
The Boy Scouts of America awarded him with the Silver Beaver and the Silver Antelope Awards for his dedication and service to youth.
In recognition of extraordinary contributions in public service he was awarded the Jefferson Award by the Evening and Sunday Bulletin in 1978.
In 1980 he was awarded the Leslie Pinckney Hill Centennial Recognition Citation by Cheyney University for his contributions in the field of Architecture and City Planning.

Ničić was born in Negotin, in what was then the People's Republic of Serbia in the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia.
He was first elected to the Serbian parliament in the 1989 general election, the last to be held while Serbia was a one-party socialist state.
One of the youngest delegates, Ničić was also one of only six representatives to vote against Slobodan Milošević's 1989 constitution, which, among other things, significantly reduced the autonomy of Vojvodina and Kosovo.
Ničić ran under this party's banner for Bor's first constituency in the 1990 general elections and was defeated by Bratislav Dunjić of Milošević's Socialist Party of Serbia.
A prominent local opponent of Milošević, Ničić was subsequently held in a pre-trial detention centre for two months in 1994, on suspicion of seeking to induce certain elected officials to abuse their positions.
New Democracy provided support for the Socialist Party in the Serbian assembly beginning in 1993, citing Milošević's professed commitment to securing a peace plan to end the Bosnian War.
The alliance between the Socialist Party and New Democracy later broke down amidst the backdrop of the Kosovo War, and Ničić returned to the political opposition.
New Democracy participated in the 2000 Yugoslavian election as a member of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS), a broad coalition of several opposition parties.

He supported Serbian Radical Party candidate Tomislav Nikolić's candidacy in the 2008 Serbian presidential election and later complained that Nikolić never acknowledged his support.
He appeared in the fourth position on the URS's electoral list in the 2012 Serbian election and was elected when the list won sixteen mandates.
His return to the legislature was brief, as he could not by this time hold a dual mandate as a mayor and a member of the assembly; he resigned the latter position on 5 September 2012.
Democratic Party and its allies won sixteen mandates, and Ničić, who received the twenty-third position on their list, was not elected.
In 2010, he was criticized by the South East Europe Media Organisation (SEEMO) for mandating that directors of companies and public institutions in the city could not talk to the media without his prior concent.

His death on 14 November 2019 was the result of fatal injuries to the head sustained from a brick thrown by the protester during a violent confrontation between two groups in Sheung Shui on 13 November 2019.

On 15 November 2019, people of the public held a memorial in Sheung Shui on the site where the incident occurred to mourn for Luo.
They did not appear publicly namely out of fear for being doxxed and threatened by protesters, but decided to go in public when associations such as the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions (HKFTU) committed to escorting them.
On 9 December, Luo's body was transferred from the Hung Hom Universal Funeral Parlor in Hong Kong to the Chinese mainland.
Over hundred thousand people from mainland China, including the Chinese actor Huang Xiaoming, donated to funds set up in support of the families of Luo and a 57-year-old man named Lee Chi-cheung who was set on fire during an argument with protesters.
Meanwhile, Kennedy Wong (Wong Ying-ho), one of the founders of a fund in support of citizens and small and medium-sized enterprises affected by the unrest, said they got in touch with Luo's family and would see how the fund could assist them.
The police collected footage from nearby CCTV cameras to assist with their investigation, but they found that some cameras had been damaged by protesters.
On 13 December 2019, five suspects—three men and two women, aged 15 to 18—were arrested in Sheung Shui and Tai Po in connection with murder as well as wounding and participation in a riot.
The police stated that some of the five suspects threw bricks and wounded people, but that no footage had shown that they threw bricks directly at the now-deceased man.
They remarked that the five could have acted as accomplices in a joint enterprise when it comes to the murder case, but that further legal advice would be sought.
They also said that one of them, a 16-year-old boy, had hurled bricks at a 61-year-old man whose left eye retina was damaged.
The Hong Kong Government said in a statement that they were saddened by the incident and that the police will work to bring the offenders to justice.
The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department expressed profound sadness at the passing of its service worker and said it was providing the necessary assistance to his family.
They reiterated their support for the Hong Kong government and police force, urging them to punish the culprits sternly in accordance to the law.

Evander Holyfield had defeated Dwight Muhammad Qawi via split decision in July 1986 to capture the WBA cruiserweight title, the first world title of his career.
The first defense of Holyfield's title was announced to be against his 1984 Olympic teammate and gold medalist Henry Tillman, who like Holyfield, had turned pro in late 1984 and become a top prospect in the cruiserweight division, having already won NABF cruiserweight title and sporting a 14–1 record with the only blemish on his professional record being a close decision loss to Bert Cooper.
Before facing Tillman, Holyfield first took a non-title tuneup fight in December 1986 against Mike Brothers (after his previously announced opponent Marcos Geraldo withdrew), easily defeating him by third-round knockout.
The fight would prove to be a mismatch as Holyfield would have little trouble beating Tillman, knocking him down four times during the course of the bout.
After a relatively close first round (which one judge had winning, which would prove to be the only round Tillman would win on any of the three scorecards), Holyfield dropped Tillman early in the second with a left hook.
After Tillman arose and took the mandatory standing eight count, he charged at Holyfield, attempting to trade punches with him though Holyfield continued to pepper Tillman with powerful body shots throughout the round, though Tillman survived the round.
Holyfield would continue to dominate Tillman and in round 7, Holyfield would land an uppercut followed by a left–right uppercut that dropped Tillman to the canvas.
Tillman would again arise and continued though Holyfield continued his attack and soon sent Tillman down again with another left–right combination, though Tillman would answer the 10-count at nine.
Holyfield quickly attacked Tillman with two left hooks that dropped Tillman for the third time in the round, with the three-knockdown rule in effect, the fight was immediately stopped and Holyfield was named the winner by technical knockout at 1:43 of round 7.

The duty was formally applied to U.S. military personnel as article III of the 1955 Code of the United States Fighting Force, which remains in effect.
A duty to escape is a requirement for service personnel, particularly officers, to attempt to escape back to their own lines if taken prisoner of war by enemy forces.
Parole was an arrangement whereby the officers would be granted their additional privileges or freedoms in exchange for promising not to attempt to escape to take up arms against their captors.
In this instance the prohibition of parole was not intended to maintain the officer's duty to escape but to ensure that they remained with and cared for, their captured men.
There was never an official duty for service personnel to try to escape captivity, though there might have been an unofficial expectation that officers would consider attempting escape if possible.
In fact, it has been estimated that some two-thirds of British prisoners of war were generally content with their situation and made no attempt to escape during their time in captivity.
Despite this, the German military courts who tried escaping Allied officers generally accepted the excuse that it was each man's duty to attempt to escape.
With the exception of those that were executed extrajudicially by the Gestapo, recaptured prisoners of war were likely to face only a period in solitary confinement or transfer to a punishment camp.
He later stated that he considered his duty as senior officer to the men under his command supplanted any personal duty to escape.
This has since been referred to as Colonel Devereux's doctrine and likened to the captain's duty to go down with the ship.
On 17 August 1955 U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued executive order 10631 with implemented the Code of the United States Fighting Force, a code of conduct for U.S. military personnel.
This code includes, for the first time, a requirement for U.S. prisoners of war to attempt to escape and to assist the escapes of others, covered by article III of the code.
Article IV governs the conduct of senior officers of troops held in captivity and the duties of sub-ordinates to follow their orders.
There has been discussion as to how to resolve conflicts between the two duties; for example, if a senior officer orders his men not to escape.
U.S. officers have been prosecuted for issuing such orders, which have been interpreted as unlawful for prohibiting subordinates from carrying out their duty under article III.
However, such an order may be lawful if the escape exposes other prisoners to an unreasonable risk or jeopardizes the planned escape of a larger group of men.
The U.S. code of conduct has since been supplemented with two additional versions applicable in peacetime for personnel captured by foreign governments or terrorists.
Lisa Barbier Cristiani (December 24, 1827 – October 24, 1853), also known as Lise Cristiani or Elise Cristiani, was a French cellist and performer known for being one of the earliest recorded instances of a woman becoming a professional in the field.
Born in Paris, it is believed that Cristiani was of Italian descent, though little more is known of her early years.
She did eventually become a cello apprentice to Edouard Benazet and had her concert debut on February 14, 1845 at the Salle des Concerts Herz.
Because of how the cello is played, with the large frame between one's legs, the women's fashion of the era of dresses made playing the instrument directly impossible.
So it was not until the development of the endpin to lift the frame off the floor that play by women became more common.
It has been claimed in various publications that Cristiani may have been a primary early popularizer of the endpin and led to its increased use in Europe and the rise of a new wave of female cellists in the decades after her death.
Cristiani was also well known for the uniqueness of her cello, a 1700 Stradivarius with her name carved into the side.
Cristiani was one of the earliest professional female musical performers of this era and began playing numerous concerts in her late teenage years.
Her level of play caught the attention of and the support of composer Felix Mendelssohn in 1845 during a concert in Leipzig.
After this time period, Cristiani began a musical tour of Europe that resulted in further fame and her eventual travel to Russia where she played for a number of concerts.
Several years later, in 1852, while visiting the home of historian Nikolai Markevitch in Kiev, she met fellow cellist Adrien-François Servais.
The three of them spent some time in the city practicing their music with each other and Cristiani's association with Servais only heightened her fame in the region.
Not long after, in the fall of 1853, she began a new trek across the Siberian wilderness to the Kamchatka Peninsula for another tour in the region, being the first European to give public concerts in the remote cities of the North Asian continent.
Before that, she performed in the small town of Tobolsk, but resulted soon after with a case of cholera and had to stop in Novocherkassk where she died on October 24, 1853.
To do this, in 1968–1969 she returned to Ecuador and excavated a number of graves in Carchi Province, recovering and reassembling the pottery, analyzing the pottery styles, and using radiocarbon dating to establish their age.
In 1976 she married Larry McLerran, then a physicist postdoc at MIT, whose subsequent career took them to at a number of physics research labs and departments: SLAC, University of Washington, Fermilab, University of Minnesota, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and University of Washington again.
It tells the true story of a hill in Yuma, Arizona, where McLerran's mother and her friends created a play town in 1915.
As a result of the book, the area was made into a city park in 2000, and an annual Roxaboxen Festival was celebrated.

A founder’s memorial need not be a grand structure, but it must stand for our ideals, our values, our hopes and aspirations.
It should be a place where we and future generations can remember a key period in our history, reflect on the ideals of our founding fathers, and pledge to continue their work of nation building.

Chris A. Jansen (born October 27, 1966) is a Dutch politician, who currently is a member of the House of Representatives.
Besides, he became a member of the States of Flevoland the year after, rising to the position of party leader of the province in 2013.
He remained loyal to Geert Wilders, founder of the PVV, after he held a speech in which he asked a crowd whether they would want more or fewer Moroccans, being the only member of the party in Almere to not distance himself from the speech.
After his education, he worked for about 20 years in the telecommunications and IT industries according to his profile as a states-provincial member.
Jansen has noted that he decided to become involved in politics in 2009 as a result of the trial of Geert Wilders, which Jansen regarded as a trial against the freedom of speech.
He first ran for political office during the 2010 municipal elections in the city Almere, where he was on place seven of the PVV's party-list.
The Party of Freedom participated in the elections in two municipalities in the Netherlands, marking the first time the party took part in any municipal election.
Jansen received 179 preferential votes and became a member of the council in March, as his party won a plurality of 9 out of 39 seats.
During the next municipal election in 2014, Jansen was re-elected as the second person on the PVV's party-list, while the party remained the largest party with again nine seats.
All PVV councilmen in Almere except for Jansen distanced themselves from Wilders' statements a few days later, causing Jansen to declare in an interview on Radio 1 Journaal that he was the only PVV councilman left in Almere and that the other eight would have to continue under a different party.
He was subsequently expelled from the municipal PVV caucus because of those statements and because the caucus leader said Jansen was following his own course.
Usually a term as chair lasts two years, but Jansen remained in the position until 2017, as an investigation was still ongoing.
Jansen was again a candidate during the 2018 municipal election and was re-elected for a third term as the fourth person on the party-list.
However, his party slid down to become the third biggest party in Almere, receiving 6 out of an increased 45 seats.
Because of his position as party leader in Flevoland, Jansen was also involved in finding candidates for his party for other municipalities in his province.
However, a local party dropped out of the formation at the last moment, and a coalition without the PVV was made.
He vacated his seat in the Almere municipal council during his third term in January 2019 after being appointed member to the House of Representatives.
Besides serving in the Almere council, Jansen has served for a number of years on the seven member executive board of the Flevoland branch of the Association of Dutch Municipalities.
Jansen became the PVV's party leader in the States in June 2013, after his predecessor Joram van Klaveren resigned because he could no longer combine the position with his membership of the House of Representatives.
The coalition that was formed fell in February 2018, because three of its four members resigned after they lost confidence in their fourth member, Ad Meijer.
Before that, the former three had tried to remove Meijer through a motion of no confidence in the States of Flevoland.
When the Van Geel Commission came out with its advice about the surplus of large herbivores in the nature reserve Oostvaardersplassen later in 2018, Jansen opposed the proposed shooting of animals and instead advocated using birth control to decrease the population.
His party won twenty seats and he personally received 382 preferential votes, the majority of which came from his home province of Flevoland.
Jansen was also on place nine on the party-list for the 2019 Dutch Senate election, but the PVV received only five seats.
In October 2019, MP Sietse Fritsma stepped down to start a business, resulting in Jansen becoming a member of the House of Representatives.
Jansen was sworn in on November 27, 2019, and he indicated that he planned to resign from his other political positions.
Two people were in front of Jansen in the line of succession, Karen Gerbrands and Robert Housmans, but both turned down the position; Gerbrands had resigned from the position of MP the year before and had criticized the party, and Housmans refused because he had recently become a member of the provincial-executive of Limburg.
During his political career, he has also opposed Islamization and the construction of new mosques in Almere, and he has said he would like the government to revoke passports of criminal immigrants with multiple citizenship.
Jansen has also objected to some forms of or increases in government spending; he has opposed proposals to increase cultural subsidies in Flevoland, was against spending €470 million on the development of Nieuw Land National Park, and has criticized environmental subsidies leading to the construction of many windmills in the province.
He has acknowledged the existence of climate change, but called it a natural process that has been going on throughout history and has denied human activity as a major cause.
Furthermore, he has asked for more transparency in the public financing of the exposition Floriade 2022, planned to be held in Almere.
He has also accused the municipality of including part of the event's costs in other proposals to make the total costs seem smaller.

This outcrop of Middle Devonian shale (Eifelian: ± 397 million years) is notable for the quantity and good state of preservation of its fossils.
The deposit was frequently visited by paleontologists due to the profusion of fossils, the diversity of species, plus the quality of their preservation.
The nature reserve was created in 1991 to regulate uncontrolled exploitation of the site and to allow conservation and study of fossils.
Part of the collections are kept at the Bogny-sur-meuse Museum of fossils and minerals (Musée des fossiles et minéraux de Bogny-Sur-Meuse) with the help of the Mineralogical and Paleontological Association of Bogny-sur-Meuse (Association Minéralogique et Paléontologique de Bogny-Sur-Meuse) who have assembled the collections allowing researchers to study these fossils today.
The reserve is located in Vireux-Molhain in the Ardennes (Pointe de Givet), on the northern slope of the Viroin valley, a few kilometers from its junction with the Meuse, in the Calestienne narrow limestone strip.
Customs Wall (Mur des Douaniers) is an outcrop of rocks, formation of which began in Lower Eifelian, a period of Middle Devonian (Primary or Paleozoic era).
The sedimentary layers were subsequently folded and subjected to temperature and pressure constraints during the orogeny of the Ardennes massif (Hercynian cycle).
In more modern times, the Meuse and its tributaries have dug deep valleys in the plateau, revealing this outcrop of shales.
Until the beginning of the century, the layers of Customs Wall were considered to belong to Assise de Bure and date from Lower Couvinian (Emsian).
The revision of the geological map of Givet and recent studies have shown that they belong to the Jemelle formation (Member of the Vieux Moulin) of Lower Eifelian.

Based on allegations that the six officials, namely former Fisheries minister Bernhardt Esau, Justice Minister Sacky Shanghala, James Hatuikulipi, Tomson Hatuikulipi, Ricardo Gustavo and Pius Mwatelulo had corruply acquired $15 Million in bribes from Icelandic fishing company Samherji, their involvement in Namibia's biggest corruption scandal become dubbed as the Fishrot Six, an investigation by The Namibian, Aljazeera and the Iceland State Television.
The scandal came to light following revelations by a former Samheji Executive who blew the whistle by leaking thousands of documents to WikiLeaks and cable news network Al Jazeera, who later instituted their own investigation, naming it 'Anatomy of Bribery'.
Many allies of the SWAPO Party however viewed the release of the documents as a means to distabilize the liberation movement among voters as it was an election period.
The ruling SWAPO went on to have its lowest achievement in any election since 1990, losing its parliamentary two-third majority and a series of local authority elections.
In a documentary on Aljazeera, former fisheries minister Bernhardt Esau is seen requesting for a double sim Chinese iPhone from an undercover journalist claiming it is difficult for authorities to hatch such a phone.

Cramer, the son of a governmental master builder, was born in Hamburg and spent his school time in Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland).
After his Abitur in 1920 he studied three semesters of philosophy directed by Richard Hönigswald and Siegfried Marck at the University of Breslau.
After the dismissal of Rademacher in the process of the Gleichschaltung, Cramer became an assistant of Werner Schmeidler at the mathematical institute.
Moritz Löwi, a Jewish teacher and friend of Cramer, persuaded him to stay, that he would be able to act as someone unsuspected.
The reasons for this unusual long duration of the procedure cannot be reconstructed in detail, but it seems that Cramer did not appear to be an ideal member of the Party.
Cramer did not yield to the pressure by Faust to cease the contact with Richard Hönigswald and his circle of students or to support the removal of his Catholic colleague Bernhard Rosenmöller.
In fact, neither did Cramer appear politically in public during the Nazi Regime, nor did he contribute anything to a National Socialist philosophy.
Students of Cramer, who later became professors themselves, were, among others, the Hegel scholar Hans-Friedrich Fulda and Reiner Wiehl, an expert on Whitehead.
Due to Cramer's low academic position they usually did not write their theses under his supervision, but rather under that of Hans-Georg Gadamer in Heidelberg.
Thus his systematic starting point was always the critical engagement with Transcendental idealism and Kant, together with some inspiration from the Monadology of Leibniz.
His key thought was here, that transcendental philosophy as an analysis of subjectivity cannot fulfill its task, if it does not investigate the subject in its Being, especially its temporality.
However, one should be aware that, although Cramer started to work on the topic of old metaphysics, he did not present a full-sized, complete ontology like the systems before Kant.
His engagement with the question of the Absolute particularly involves a critical examination of Spinoza, Kant's rejection of the proofs for the existence of God and philosophers of German Idealism.
It was Cramer's goal to show how the Absolute can be thought as determining everything, but leaving at the same time freedom for contingent otherness.
In particular this should happen without any reference to contingent being, because otherwise the Absolute would stand under the conditions of the contingent.
It will be the 33rd edition of the event, and part of the ATP World Tour 250 Series of the 2020 ATP Tour.

Dopamine fasting is the practice of temporarily abstaining from addictive technologies such as social media, listening to music on technological platforms, and Internet gaming, and can be extended to temporary deprivation of social interaction and eating.
It is based on a misunderstanding of how the neurotransmitter dopamine, which operates within the brain to reward behavior, actually works and can be altered by conscious behavior.
The idea behind it is to take a break from the repetitive patterns of excitement and stimulation that can be triggered by interaction with digital technology, and that the practice of avoiding pleasurable activities can work to undo bad habits, allow time for self-reflection, and bolster personal happiness.
According to Cameron Sepah, a proponent of the practice, the purpose is not to avoid dopamine but rather to reduce impulsive behaviors that are rewarded by dopamine.
One account suggest that the practice is about avoiding cues, such as hearing the ring of a smartphone, that can trigger impulsive behaviors, such as remaining on the smartphone after the call to play a game.
The practice of dopamine fasting is not clearly defined in what it entails, on what technologies, with what frequency it should be done, or how it is supposed to work.
Detractors suggest that the overall concept of dopamine fasting is nonsensical since the chemical plays a vital role in everyday life; they argue that trying to reduce it is not good for a person, and that periodic breaks from technology will be ineffective overall.
Dopamine fasting resembles the fasting tradition of many religions, except that instead of being applied to activities such as eating and sex, it is applied to the use of technologies such as smartphones and computer screens.

Defence Industries Limited (DIL) was a subsidiary of Canadian Industries Limited (C-I-L), founded in 1939 to manufacture munitions for use in World War II.
The company operated in number of locations in Canada, and built a large factory in the Township of Pickering, Ontario, Canada, along with nearby housing which grew into the town of Ajax.
C-I-L set up DIL in September, 1939, and arranged a contract with the Canadian government to operate two small plants which manufactured TNT and cordite.
In 1940 the Canadian government's Department of Munitions and Supply contracted DIL to refurbish the defunct British Munitions factory in Verdun, Quebec for the manufacture munitions.
In 1941 DIL also set up a facility in Windsor, Ontario to manufacture carbamite, a component of cordite; other explosive components were manufactured in Beloeil, Shawinigan, Quebec, Nobel, Ontario and Winnipeg Manitoba.
By the end of the war the workers had filled more than 40 million percussion caps, detonators, bombs, anti-tank mines, armour-piercing and anti-aircraft shells.
Although the houses built for the DIL employees were intended to be temporary, after the war the occupants petitioned to buy them, and, after permanent foundations were built, the homes became part of a new town, which was named Ajax after HMS Ajax (22), a light cruiser of the Royal Navy during World War II.
DIL was contracted by the federal government to co-ordinate the construction and operation of Chalk River Laboratories, a pilot plant for the production of plutonium using heavy water as a moderator, which was being built in northern Ontario as part of the Manhattan Project.
Temporary houses from DIL's plant in the town of Nobel were moved to the area, creating a new town, Deep River, to house the workers.
In 1947, operation of the partially completed facility was taken over by the National Research Council; a number of DIL employees were hired by the NRC to provide continuity in the process.
Kinghorn Lifeboat station was established in 1965 by the RNLI to help provide more cover in the Firth of Forth as more leisure craft became deployed in the area at that time.
Initially a small shed structure made from Hardun wood was built which housed a D-class lifeboat which operated in summer months only.
The first launch of the boat in 1965 saw the crew deliver letters to residents of Inchkeith and Inchcolm to inform them of the station being built.
In 1987 the station was altered in order to fit the launching trolley equipment inside the boathouse to aid fast launch times.
In 1995 the station was upgraded significantly with a new two-storey building erected which had lifeboat crew quarters as well as an operation centre and visitor shop.
In 2019 a balloon in the shape of the fictional superhero character Iron Man was mistaken for a person in the water off Kirkcaldy.
A local Subaru car dealership later admitted to accidentally allowing the blown to blow away and made a donation to the station.
The station holds an annual sponsored Loony Dook in January and an open day during the summer to raise funds for the running of the facility.
It heads northwest through neighborhoods before passing along the western side of downtown, where it temporarily widens to a four-lane divided highway.

The Princess Mary's Hospital, RAF Akrotiri, (often abbreviated to TPMH), was a military hospital located on the Royal Air Force base at Akrotiri on the island of Cyprus.
The hospital was the last British military hospital to remain in operation after all other hospitals had closed down in the 1990s and 2000s.
It treated its last case, and stopped affording treatment, in October 2012, but formal closure of the building came in 2013.
Medical care for military personnel on the island is now the remit of a health care centre at RAF Akrotiri and more serious cases are dealt with by Cypriot healthcare in the nearby city of Limassol.
Initially, this was a set of prefabricated bungalows cobbled together until a more permanent structure was created, and was located as part of the base complex itself.
The hospital was named after Princess Mary, who had agreed in 1923 to be the patron of the Princess Mary's Royal Air Force Nursing Service.
The hospital was opened in stages between May and June 1963, which allowed for the old hospital to be rundown without loss of patient service.
This had been announced in the 1975 Defence Review, where the number of beds across all military hospitals was to drop by 20% and the hospitals at Wroughton and Tidworth were slated for closure.
Service personnel and their dependents were the primary users of the hospital, though any nationalities were treated when they needed emergency care.
During the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, the hospital was the only facility that could deliver impartial care to both sides.
Treatment of Cypriots for non-emergency cases was undertaken on the availability of bed-spaces and a repayment for the medical care offered.
Whilst it was located on an RAF base and named as such, the hospital was there to cater for all military personnel and was therefore staffed with Air Force staff (PMRAFNS) and also with British Army personnel drawn from the QARANC in a 60/40 split respectively.
In October 1983, American and French service personnel were evacuated to TPMH after simultaneous bomb attacks on their barracks in the Lebanese city of Beirut.
A Department of Defence inquiry afterwards found that many more would have died had the RAF not offered its helicopters and its healthcare.
In late 1990, with Operation Granby building up in the Middle East, TPMH extended its capability from 60 permanent beds to its design capacity of 200 beds.
In the event, casualty numbers were lower than anticipated, and so the facility was returned to normal operations as soon as hostilities ceased.
During this time, the hospital treated the RAF aircrew Flight Lieutenants John Nicol and John Peters after they had been released from captivity.
In 1991, Jackie Mann, Terry Waite and John McCarthy were all given a medical examination upon their release from captivity before being taken by aircraft to RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire.
In March 1996, the RAF military hospitals at Wroughton and Halton closed, as did the last one in Germany, Wegberg, along with two army hospitals too.
The last military hospitals were transferred to the newly formed Defence Secondary Care Agency, and so the TPMH was renamed as The Princess Mary's Hospital, Akrotiri.
In the same year, the number of staff was listed as being 124; 80 drawn from military personnel and 44 from a civilian workforce.
After the closure of the Royal Naval hospitals at Haslar and Gibraltar in 2007 and 2008 respectively, TPMH remained the only peacetime military hospital in existence.
After closure, the medical needs for service personnel were catered for by a new health centre on RAF Akrotiri, as primary medical care, with more intricate medical needs provided by a Cypriot independent provider.
TPMH was awarded the Wilkinson Sword of Peace three times during its history; for the Cyprus Emergency in 1974, in 2002 for its benefit to the wider community and in 2006, for its support to Operation Highbrow.

The union was founded on 12 and 13 September 1886, when fourteen local trade unions met in Brussels and formed the National Federation of Metalworkers.
It operated as a loose federation, and various affiliates joined and left over the first few years, but with a general upward trend.
It was largely inactive during World War I, and after the war, its campaigns for an eight-hour day, minimum wage and union recognition led to widespread strikes.
These were resolved in 1919, when a joint consultative committee for the metal industry was established, the first such committee in Belgium.
This led to a rapid increase in union membership, which reached 139,413 in 1920, and the union played a major role in the general strikes of 1925 and 1936.
The union was divided during World War II, with some leaders joining Nazi front unions, while others opposed these, and some broke away to work with the communist resistance.
The communist unions rejoined in 1945, and that year, the union became a founding constituent of the General Federation of Belgian Labour.
After the war, the union engaged in frequent industrial action, but became divided between Flemish and Walloon leaders, who were also split over how closely to engage with Parliamentary action.
This was largely resolved by the late 1960s, and membership reached a record high of 216,490 in 1976, but the union then struggled against job losses in the industry.
By 1995, it was down to 164,267 members, and the following year, it renamed itself as the Union of the Belgian Metal Industry.
In 2006, the union gave its Flemish and Walloon regions high levels of autonomy, with only a small federal structure uniting the two.
The post of president was abolished, and the union was instead jointly run by two general secretaries, one from each region.

Prior to the establishment of a station the RNLI has made a number of medal awards to coastguards operating in the local area.
The first station was established in the town in 1865 at the request of local fishermen on land that was gifted to the by the Anstruther harbour board.
In 1892 the RNLI local inspector found there was no need to employ a paid bowman for the lifeboat as the station at that time had six volunteer coxswains and a full crew to staff it, by 1899 the number of coxswains had reduced to four.
Up until 1897 the station had used a mortar to alert the volunteer crew, however this was deemed too dangerous to vessels in the harbour so a handbell was used from that point on.
Around this time a new Coxswain Superintendent was appointed to replace the numerous coxswains that has operated the station before on a rotating basis.
In 2013 the volunteer lifeboat helmsman Barry Gourlay, a mechincal engineer, received the RNLI Bronze Medal and volunteer crew members fisherman Euan Hoggan and PhD student Rebecca Jewell received thanks on vellum for a rescue of two people in difficult sea conditions.

Bunbury's first hotel licences were granted in the 1840s, and by 1865 two hotels were operating, and a licence had been granted for a third.
A petition in support of the proposed hotel, signed by the town's residents, was presented to the Governor John Hampton; he directed the licencing bench to reconsider the application, and a licence was then issued that year.
Initially a single-story Rose Hotel was built on Victoria Street; Rose soon built a two-storey structure near the corner with Wellington Street, with a bar and dining room downstairs and four bedrooms upstairs.
Following the Delaportes, until the 1890s, were several licencees – Thomas Spencer, P McArthur, Alex Forbes, A E Bonney, Booney's wife (widowed on the day Booney took over), and J H Darley.
The upgrade cost £7,000, and by 1901 the hotel was considered a landmark, with a standard as high as the top city hotels.
Salesmen travelling by whichever means – train, foot, ship, or horse and buggy – would use the hotel as accommodation, and could use the sample room to exhibit and sell their goods.
The Rose Hotel was used for official functions, including Armistice Day celebrations on 11 November 1918 featuring the Bunbury Municipal Band playing to a crowd of approximately 1000 people.
The hotel changed hands a few more times over the next few decades – Mrs Illingworth's sister, Mrs Nenke, became the licencee around 1920, and later John Hithersay, followed by E J Saunders in 1932.
J J Monaghan, a lawyer and owner of the Prince of Wales Hotel, bought the Rose Hotel in 1939, and spent £5,000 on renovations.
The Drinkwaters remained the owners until 2018, when they sold to the owners to the owners of Kalgoorlie's Exchange Hotel, Dave Allan and Lawson Douglas.
The hotel and former sample room were given a entries on the Register of the National Estate on 1 November 1983, and the City of Bunbury's Municipal Inventory on 31 July 1996.
They were listed on the State Register of Heritage Places on 23 May 1997, and on the city's heritage list on 15 April 2003.
The original timber was uncovered in door frames and floorboards, and a archways and historic brickwork discovered during the work was incorporated into the new design.
Substantial improvements were completed to the ballroom, dining room, bars and kitchen in 2019, with the new owners Allan and Douglas planning further renovations for the outdoor spaces: a new alfresco area, and an upgraded beer garden.

The film centres on the anti-gay purges in Chechnya of the late 2010s, interviewing various LGBT Chechnyan refugees about their experiences.
The film's production was complicated by the need to protect the interviewees' safety by not showing their appearances on screen; however, France wanted to place a real human face on the story, and thus did not want to use conventional techniques of disguising the appearance of an interview guest, such as blurring their faces, filming them in darkness or hiring actors to perform a staged re-enactment.
Accordingly, he opted to use advanced facial replacement techniques from visual effects technology, so that the viewer could clearly see real faces displaying real emotions while still protecting the identities of the speakers.
The film premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, and is slated to be screened at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival.
The Wednesday Strangler is an unidentified Japanese serial killer, responsible for the murders of seven women in Saga Prefecture from 1975 and 1989.
The nickname comes from the fact that six of the victims disappeared on a Wednesday, and the killings are also referred to as the Saga Women Murders.
Between 1975 and 1989, seven murders occurred in a 20-kilometer radius of the Saga Prefecture, in the towns of Kitagata, Shiroishi, Kitashigeyasu and Takeo.
Around 5 PM on January 27, 1989, a couple driving near a mountain forest in Kishima District found three female bodies dropped beneath a cliff, and reported it to the police.
It is believed that they were killed on July 8, 1987; December 7, 1988 and the last on January 25th, two days before the bodies were found.
In November of the same year, a 26-year-old man, who had been detained for an unconnected crime, admitted to three of the murders during a cognitive interview, but later recanted the confession.
On June 11, 2002, the Saga Prefecture police charged the prisoner with the murder of Y., while he was incarcerated in Kagoshima Prison, later charging him with the other ones.
On April 10, 2005, the Saga District Court cited lack of conclusive evidence and coercion by the interrogating officers for their reasoning for finding the defendant innocent of all charges.
The prosecution appealed the decision, but the Fukuoka High Court acquitted him on March 19, 2007, as was the case with the Saga District Court in the first instance.
In the second trial, the prosecution tried to use newly obtained mitochondrial DNA for any possible connections to the victims, but again, the defendant was cleared.
On March 29th, the Fukuoka department of the Supreme Public Prosecutors' Office found numerous case violations relating to the prosecutors' appeal, which was overtuned, also taking into account the scarce evidence.
The accused criticized the Saga Prefectural Police and the prosecutor's poor investigation and prosecution, as pointed out in the ruling of the second trial.

The Netflix Originals television series follows the lives of young Singaporeans as they defy expectations and traverse the tricky terrain of career, romance and family in Singapore and briefly, Los Angeles.
Whilst it is broadly considered a subgenre of reality television, when it comes to representation internationally, especially in America, the show does add diversity to the reality TV genre, which still lacks Asian representation.
Some online critics felt that the show did an inaccurate job of representing life in Singapore, especially since Singapore is largely middle-class yet, others have pointed out that this backlash is a double standard considering there are many Western shows from this genre and therefore Singapore should be allowed to produce a similar format for a global audience.
Following the initial backlash, local reviews now seem to be mixed, with many agreeing that whilst it may not portray all Singaporeans, unlike the film Crazy Rich Asians, Singapore Social does succeed in representing a more diverse cast of Asians, particularly those of South-Asian origin.

The Zamindars of Kanihati (), also known as the Chaudhury family of Kanihati (), are a notable zamindar family of the Sylhet region.
The family was started with the marriage of a Tripuri princess with Abd al-Malik, the son of Shah Halim ad-Din Narnauli - an Arab Sufi saint and companion of Shah Jalal.
Following the Conquest of Sylhet in 1303, Shah Halim ad-Din, a Sufi saint who previously lived in Narnaul, and his son, Dawlat Shah Abd al-Malik, migrated to Kanihati which was ruled by Aslam Roy of Kailashahar.
After becoming a Muslim, Roy felt that Halim was more deserving of his kingdom and so he migrated elsewhere to seek further knowledge, leaving behind his wife, Kani, also known as the Kanak Rani.
Helimuddin built her a house and pond, and this remains in existence, known as Kanir Bari and Kanir Pukur to the locals.
Kani's daughter, Rajrani, grew a love for the religion of Islam as well, eventually becoming a Muslima and changing her name to Bibi Hasiba.
Abd al-Malik and Hasiba had a daughter, Bibi Hamira, who married Shah Mustafa, of Chandrapur, and they had a son called Shah Hasan.
Abd al-Malik and Hamira moved to the village of Kaula and gave birth to another son by the name of Sultan Khan.
During the reign of Sultan Alauddin Husain Shah, the Zamindars of Kanihati were suppressed in supporting Bazid of Pratapgarh by the Sultan's minister Minister Sarwar.
His eldest son founded Sirajpur, which he also named after his wife, Siraj Bibi and his second son Ismail Khan settled in Ismailpur.
Afzal was the father of Mian ad-Din who had two sons by the name of Nasir ad-Din and Eshab ad-Din Yusuf.
Nasir ad-Din was loyal to the Mughal Empire and assisted Islam Khan I and Lodi Khan, the Qanungoh of Sylhet, in defeating the Afghan chieftain Khwaja Usman in 1612.
As a reward, Nasir was granted the villages of Paboi and Mahtabpur and given the title of Chowdhury on the 21st Safar.
Their sons were Akmal Ali, Maqbulur Rahman, Arzad Ali, Mahmud Ali Haydar and Ajmal Ali, and their daughters were Qamar un-Nisa, Najm un-Nisa and Asmat un-Nisa.
In the 1940s, he was a general organiser for tea garden labourers, civil teachers and clerks and also helped in employment opportunities for young Muslims, who were hugely underrepresented.
Travelling alongside the likes of Aftab Ali, Abdul Motaleb Malik and Faiz Ahmad Faiz, he took part in many conferences of the International Labour Organization, visiting Havana, Miami, Iraq, Geneva and Iceland.
His work was instrumental for Sylheti seamen and lascars that settled in the United Kingdom, lobbying their problems to senior politicians, even back in Karachi and Dhaka.
This led to Todd's interest in the woman's suffrage movement.In 1910, she took part in an automobile tour to support women's suffrage where she and others spoke to factory workers.
Women in San Francisco asked her to stay on to help organize and support the effort to encourage women to vote in California.
Todd asked women in California to use their right to vote in order to help make life better for workers, especially women workers.
Todd went on to help in other states to win women's suffrage, but eventually came to feel that an amendment for national women's suffrage was critical.
In 1916 she was an envoy for the state of New York on the Suffrage Special, which toured the United States encouraging support for national women's suffrage.
She helped create low-cost housing called Twin Oaks in Greenwich Village for artists, working with Otto H. Kahn and Samuel Untermyer.
He first started in the native Fukuno-ryū style, but later branched off to the more popular Kitō-ryū and Tenjin Shinyō-ryū, training under master Takeshi Sawada.
Legend has that Okuda formed part of the Shinsengumi, and it was even rumored that he was one of the killers of Ryoma Sakamoto in 1867, but none of this was ever proven.
In 1868, he young Okuda became part of the Shōgitai and participated in the Boshin War, managing to survive the loss of his unit at the Battle of Ueno.
He eventually landed in Tokyo, where he fought in 1879 a challenge match against an American wrestler at the Shibusawa Library.
Although Okuda was outweighed to the point of looking like a child next to his opponent, he won the match, throwing the American down with seoi nage and tomoe nage.
The same year, Okuda opened a Kitō-ryū dojo, and became a hand-to-hand instructor for several police services, among them the prestigious Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
In 1884, while still a police teacher, Okuda created a personal jujutsu style, , which integrated all the knowledge from the multiple styles he knew and researched.
He did train with other stylists, mainly the eminent Yoshin-ryū school led by Hikosuke Totsuka, where he became friends with its exponent Morikichi Otake and fellow Tenjin Shinyō-ryū practitioner Daihachi Ichikawa.
This alignement to the Totsuka school ironically pitted Okuda against another integrator of jujutsu, Jigoro Kano, whose Kodokan dojo was becoming infamous in the jujutsu community for its heterodoxy.
In 1885, Ichikawa, Otake and Okuda performed a dojoyaburi on the Kodokan, leading Okuda to fight a bout against Saigō Shirō.
Though Okuda was taller and heavier, he was defeated, being thrown repeatedly by koshi nage and deashi barai before Saigō finished him by yama arashi.
Okuda didn't participate further in the Kodokan-Totsuka rivalry, and in 1893 he moved his field of activity to the Iwate Prefecture by invitation of governor Ichizo Hattori.
As a consequence, he was not among the jujutsu masters gathered by Kano at the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai to inaugurate its jujutsu division in 1895 either.
In 1901, he opened a judo dojo in the city of Morioka, and he became an usual attender of tournaments and events while keeping his police teacher job.
His high knowledge and personal approach to throws were popularly nicknamed his , possibly in reference to his purported participation in the killings of the Shinsengumi.
Okuda had a last highlight in 1903 when he faced a young Kyuzo Mifune in a tournament, throwing him four times before predicting he would become a judo legend.
He has also competed at the 1998 Asian Games in the men's 105 kg event, although he didn't registered a mark.
Solis is also the head coach for the Philippine weightlifting team multiple times with his latest tenure as coach starting in August 2019.
He has coached the national weightlifting team at the Southeast Asian Games in four occasions with the first being the 2005 edition and the 2019 edition being the last.
He is also among the coaches involved in the selection of weightlifters that represented that Philippines at the 2017 Summer Universiade in Taipei.
In 2020, the Union, through its acting Secretary General Junias Shilunga gave a memorandum to start a student union aimed at representing the plights of nursing students across Namibia.
Samuel Ladyman (3 March 1643 - 23 February 1684)was an Anglican priest in Ireland in the second half of the 18th Century.
The listed buildings consist of a church with memorials in the churchyard, a former chapel, a farmhouse, and a former shepherd's hut.
Huoshenshan Hospital () is an emergency specialty field hospital constructed from 23 January 2020 to 2 February 2020 in response to the 2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak.
The facility is located near the Zhiyin Lake () in Caidian District, Wuhan, Hubei, China, next to Wuhan Worker Sanatorium (), and is designed to treat people with the 2019 novel coronavirus.
Construction of the hospital began in the evening of 23 January 2020 and operations are scheduled to start by 3 February.
In the beginning, the construction team was understaffed with many workers had to work for two shifts, 12 hours per day.
On 2 February 2020, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force began airlifting medical personnel and supplies to Wuhan for the hospital opening.
State broadcaster CCTV has hosted the streams from the construction of Huoshenshan and Leishenshan Hospital, which together had an average of around 18 million concurrent views on 28 January.
The hospital is modeled after the Xiaotangshan Hospital, which was built in the suburbs of Beijing in six days for the 2003 SARS pandemic.

Montivilliers Abbey (; ) is a former Benedictine nunnery, founded between 682 and 684 by Saint Philibert in the town of Montivilliers in Normandy, in the present department of Seine-Maritime, France.
The abbey was rebuilt in 1025 by Richard II, Duke of Normandy, for a community of monks dependent on Fécamp Abbey.
On 13 January 1035, at a meeting held in Fécamp, Robert I, Duke of Normandy, granted it autonomy as a nunnery once again, for the benefit of his aunt Beatrice.
The re-founded abbey was endowed with numerous estates in the region, and these made it possible, during the time in office of the Abbess Elisabeth in the second half of the 11th century, to undertake the construction of the great abbey church, an excellent example of Norman architecture at the time of William the Conqueror.
In the 15th century, the parish of Saint-Sauveur, which had been granted the first seven bays of the nave of the abbey church, had the north side knocked down so as to double its size with a large Gothic extension.
From the 16th to the 18th century, the abbey continued to have great influence, especially under the direction of the Abbess Louise de L'Hospital (1596-1643), during whose time in office the abbey was reformed, in 1602.
They were sold off in 1811, and used for industrial purposes: as a cotton spinning mill, then as a sugar refinery and finally as a brewery from 1857.
In 1975, the municipality of Montivilliers initiated a review of the future of the abbey site, which was favourably concluded in 1977.
It was originally supposed to have two towers, like the churches of Jumièges and Boscherville, but only the northern one has survived.
The arms of the transept are covered with rib vaults of archaic style, without keys, separated by a band decorated with chevrons ().
The choir, three bays deep and much modified in the 17th century, still reveals its primitive Romanesque structure, especially in the high columns that marked the start of the semicircle of the apse.
It is bordered to the west by the former residence of the abbesses, a stone construction dating from the 18th century.
To the south lies a 15th- or early 16th-century building of cut stone and flint included the refectory on the ground floor and a dormitory with cells on the first floor, which has preserved 16th-century carpentry work of chestnut wood.
On the east side, in the extension of the south transept of the abbey church, the old chapter room is a vaulted room dating back to the 11th century.
The ribbed vaults rest along the walls on applied columns with hooked capitals and, in the centre, on a row of round columns.
As she became established in the role, she led a fusion of various activist women's organisations in Mannheim into a single body.
War broke out (from a German perspective) on 1 August 1914, with Germany's declaration of war against Russia, following a Russian general military mobilisation the previous day.
Despite having celebrated his sixtieth birthday less than a week earlier, immediately volunteered for military service: Julie Bassermann, on 3 August 1914, organised a Mannheim local group of the , a national organisation set up three days earlier, which saw itself as providing the female equivalent of the frontline service given by men.
A year later she got together with , her friend Alice Bensheimer and Elisabeth Altmann-Gottheiner to create a , in Mannheim.
The emperor was gone, and even as a succession of predominantly localised revolutions broke out, mainly in the ports and cities, it was possible to view a republican future with a certain measure of cautious hope or even, some said, optimism.
The voting age had been reduced since 1912 from 25 to 20, and the old constituency based voting sytem which had disproportionately favoured conservative rural areas was replaced with a more democratic proportional representation voting process.
On 8 February 1982, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps raided the safe house of Rabiei in northern Tehran and after three hours of gunshots, she was killed along with other MEK members including Mousa Khiabani and his wife Azar Rezaei, among others.
He worked his way up to executive positions not just with Florsheim but I. Miller & Sons in Chicago, Thalheimers Department Store in Richmond, Virginia, Pizitz Department Store in Birmingham, Alabama and, from 1950 to 1962, with the Hecht Company in Baltimore.
When the May Company took over Hecht’s, Swaebe moved to Los Angeles in 1962 to president and chairman of its regional operations.
For a short time, he moved to New York to be chief executive of Abercrombie & Fitch during the store's bankruptcy proceedings.
The editorial line was strongly influenced by Charles Maurras and came to represent more intransigently right-wing Catholic opinion in contrast to the constitutionalism and pragmatism of the Catholic Party.
The editor, who regarded parliamentary democracy as a façade for the business interests that controlled affairs behind the scenes, expressed sympathy for Italian fascism in the 1920s and for Spanish nationalism in the 1930s, and called for authoritarian political reform in Belgium.
Marko Konatar (; born 25 March 2000) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a full-back for Serbian club Red Star Belgrade.
As a searchlight unit in World War II it defended the West Country against air raids before moving to the East Coast late in the war.
It continued in the postwar Territorial Army (TA) as a heavy anti-aircraft artillery regiment until amalgamated with other Gloucestershire units in 1955.
The City of Bristol was one of several English localities that organised an 'armed association' of volunteers for home defence during the Jacobite Rising of 1745, supplementing the professionals of the Regular Army and the embodied Militia.
The French Revolutionary War saw the passing of the Volunteer Act, 1794, which encouraged the enlistment of part-time local Volunteer corps under the authority of the county Lords-lieutenant.
A large number of these were formed in Gloucestershire, including the Bristol Volunteer Infantry, officially formed on 23 March 1797 and commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Evan Baillie, a Bristol merchant who had served as a junior officer in the West Indies during the Seven Years' War.
The unit had begun to form on 17 February 1797, but even before being officially accepted its first duty was to guard the French prisoners of war confined at Stapleton Prison after the Militia regiments stationed in the city were sent to deal with the French landing in Pembrokeshire on 22 February 1797 (the Battle of Fishguard).
By January 1798 the unit was of battalion strength, with 1000 men enrolled, and an adjutant and permanent staff of Sergeants and drummers.
Volunteer units could be called out 'in aid of the civil power': the Bristol Volunteers were on duty during the Bristol food riots of April 1801.
Volunteers also received pay while on service: a national shortage of bronze coinage meant that the Bristol Volunteers, like some other units, minted their own tokens.
The Volunteers were disbanded at the Peace of Amiens in 1802, but when the peace broke down the following year and there was a renewed threat of invasion, units were rapidly formed or reformed.
The Bristol unit reformed on 25 October 1803 as the Royal Bristol Volunteers (though no authorisation can be found for the assumption of the 'Royal' title, which it shared with the Royal Bristol Artillery Volunteers).
It was once again commanded by Lt-Col Baillie (now MP for Bristol), and had the Mayor of Bristol as its Honorary Colonel.
With muskets in short supply, Lt-Col Baillie improvised by buying up all the mop-sticks in the city and having iron spikes mounted on them.
The affluent Bristol suburb of Clifton had its own corps, the Clifton Volunteer Infantry, which merged with that at Westbury-on-Trym in March 1804 to form the Loyal United Westbury and Clifton Volunteer Infantry under the command of Lt-Col T. Coke, formerly of the Honourable East India Company's 15th Madras Native Infantry.
Clifton was also the headquarters (HQ) of the Somerset Riflemen, raised and maintained at his own expense by Captain Sir John Jervis White Jervis, 1st Baronet, who lived in the area.
The old Volunteers were disbanded at the end of the Napoleonic Wars, but popular enthusiasm for the Volunteer movement following a new invasion scare in 1859 saw the creation of many new Rifle Volunteer Corps (RVCs).
One such unit was the City of Bristol Rifles formed under the command of Lt-Col Robert Bush, formerly a Major in the 96th Regiment of Foot, who was commissioned on 13 September 1859.
It was permitted to include 'City of Bristol' as part of its official title, with the Mayor of Bristol as its Honorary Colonel, and it adopted the motto of the old Royal Bristol Volunteers, 'In Danger, Ready'.
Bush was succeeded as commanding officer (CO) on 23 January 1866 by Brevet Colonel Philpotts Wright Taylor, formerly of the Royal Canadian Rifle Regiment, who held the position until the 1880s.
Under the 'Localisation of the Forces' scheme introduced by the Cardwell Reforms of 1872, Volunteers were grouped into county brigades with their local Regular and Militia battalions – Brigade No 37 (Gloucestershire) in Western District for the Bristol Battalion.
The Childers Reforms of 1881 took Cardwell's reforms further, and the Volunteers were formally affiliated to their local Regular regiment, in Bristol's case the Gloucestershire Regiment ('Glosters'), and on 1 May 1883 the battalion changed its title to 1st (City of Bristol) Volunteer Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment.
When a comprehensive mobilisation scheme for the Volunteers was established after the Stanhope Memorandum of December 1888, the 1st VB of the Gloucesters was assigned to the Severn Brigade, charged with defending the ports of the Severn Estuary.
The Volunteer Infantry Brigades were reorganised in 1906–07, when all the Gloucester Regiment VBs were assigned for training to the Portland Brigade, defending the Royal Navy's base at Portland Harbour.
A detachment of volunteers from the battalion served in the Second Boer War, winning the unit its first Battle honour: South Africa 1900–1902.The Bristol Grammar School Cadet Corps was affiliated to the battalion in 1900 and an eleventh company was authorised in 1902.
When the Volunteers were subsumed into the Territorial Force under the Haldane Reforms of 1908, the battalion became the 4th (City of Bristol) Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment.
Battalion HQ was at Queen's Road, Clifton, next to Bristol Museum, together with all the companies except F Company, which had a drill station in the parish of St George's Bristol.
On the outbreak of war in August 1914 the units of the South Midland Division had just set out for annual training when orders recalled them to their home depots for mobilisation.
The battalion went to Swindon, Wiltshire, shortly afterwards moving to Maldon, Essex, where the division was concentrating as part of Central Force.
On 15 August 1914, the War Office issued instructions to separate those men who had signed up for Home Service only, and form them into reserve units.
On 31 August, the formation of a reserve or 2nd Line unit was authorised for each 1st Line unit where 60 per cent or more of the men had volunteered for Overseas Service.
The South Midland Division underwent progressive training in Essex, and on 13 March 1915 received orders to embark to join the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) in France.
The Gloucester and Worcester Brigade crossed from Folkestone to Boulogne, and by 3 April the whole division had concentrated near Cassel.
On 12 May 1915 the division was designated 48th (South Midland) Division and the brigade became 144th (Gloucester and Worcester) Brigade.
The battalion served in the trenches for 16 months before it participated in its first major battle, during the Somme offensive.
On the First day on the Somme (1 July) the battalion was in reserve and did not participate in the division's actions.
On the night of 15 July it went into the line in front of Ovillers-la-Boisselle and at 16.00 on 16 July attacked the German lines as part of the Battle of Bazentin Ridge.
The three attacking companies had each lost about 80 men, but after fighting off violent counter-attacks the battalion went 'over the top' again at 17.00 on 18 July and successfully captured the northern end of Ovillers.
The 1/4th tried to help by bombing its way down the trench from the left, but when the 1/6th was overwhelmed the 1/4th was ordered to halt.
The battalion spent the winter on the Ancre Heights, and then participated in following the German retreat to the Hindenburg Line (Operation Alberich) in the spring of 1917.
During the Third Ypres Offensive the 1/4th Battalion fought in the costly battles of Langemarck (16–18 August), Polygon Wood (28 September–3 October), Broodseinde (4 October) and finally Poelcappelle (9 October), when 144th Bde was 'raked by machine-gun fire at the outset'.
On 1 March 1918 the division relieved 7th Division in the front line of the Montello sector on the Piave Front, and held the line until 16 March.
On 15 June the Austro-Hungarian Army made what proved to be its last attack, known to the British participants as the Battle of Asiago.
The 48th (SM) Division had been particularly hard-hit by the Spanish flu epidemic, and the average strength of the 1/4th Gloucesters' four companies was only 70 men instead of the establishment of 250.
The battalion was at the foot of the mountain in reserve, and although it was brought up to the line by lorry it took no part in the counter-attack that regained 48th (SM) Division's positions.
The 1/4th Gloucesters carried out a raid on the night of 23/24 October as a diversion from the Allied offensive to be launched next morning (the Battle of Vittorio Veneto).
The battalion attacked the village of Ave and took prisoner six officers and 223 other ranks for the loss of four men wounded.
Defeated on the Piave, the Austrians abandoned their positions on the Asiago Plateau on 29/30 October, and the 48th (SM) Division began a pursuit.
A flank attack the following morning shifted the Austrian defenders, and the pursuit continued down the gorge of the Val d'Assa.
On 3 November 1918, at Osteria del Termine, the division surrounded and captured a large force of Austrian troops including the corps commander and three divisional commanders.
By 15.00 on 4 November, when the Armistice with Austria came into force, the division had pushed forward into the Trentino.
The 2nd Line battalion was raised on 6 September 1914 and took its place in 2/1st Gloucester and Worcester Brigade in 2nd South Midland Division.
It was not until the division concentrated at Northampton in January 1915 that the men were issued with .256-in Japanese Ariska rifles with which to train.
Here they formed part of First Army of Central Force, but when the 1st South Midland Division went to France, the 2nd took its place at Chelmsford and became part of Third Army of Central Force, with a definite role in Home Defence.
The battalions formed their machine gun sections while at Chelmsford, but the strength of the battalions fluctuated widely as they were drawn upon for drafts for their 1st Line battalions.
In August 1915 the division was numbered as the 61st (2nd South Midland) Division and the brigade became the 183rd (2nd Gloucester and Worcester) Brigade.
In February and March 1916 the units of 61st (2nd SM) Division moved to Salisbury Plain to begin final training for overseas service.
Here they were issued with .303 SMLE rifles in place of the Japanese weapons, and four Lewis guns per battalion in place of dummy guns and antique Maxim guns.
Unlike the 48th (SM) Division, which had over a year of trench service before undertaking its first attack, the 61st had only a matter of weeks.
After a short tour of duty for each battalion in the front line near Neuve Chapelle they were thrown into the Attack at Fromelles on 19 July 1916.
In a diversionary attack to relieve pressure on the Somme front, the attacking troops were committed to a short advance over flat, waterlogged country against strong defences including concrete machine gun emplacements.
2/4th Gloucesters were among the attacking battalions, and suffered from German shellfire while they waited all day in their jumping-off positions.
When the signal was given to advance the men were hit by Shrapnel shells as they tried to exit the Sally ports, and these had to be abandoned and the men went 'over the top' of the parapet.
61st (2nd SM) Division moved to Ypres in July, and was put in as a fresh formation at the end of the Battle of Langemarck on 22 August.
After the Ypres offensive ended, 61st (2nd SM) Division moved south to relieve British formations exhausted by German counter-attacks after the Battle of Cambrai.
On 3 December a heavy attack forced the Gloucestershire battalions out of their positions at La Vacquerie and back to the slopes of Welsh Ridge.
Due to the manpower shortage being suffered by the BEF, 183rd Bde was broken up on 20 February 1918, the men of 2/4th and 2/6th Gloucesters being distributed to the 2/5th Gloucesters and to No 55 Infantry Base Depot, with the remainder joining the rest of the brigade in the 24th Entrenching Battalion.
The 3rd Line battalions of the Gloucesters formed at their depots during 1915 (the 3/4th on 1 May) and moved to Weston-super-Mare.
On 8 April 1916 they were redesignated Reserve Battalions, and on 1 September at Ludgershall, Wiltshire, the 4th (City of Bristol) Reserve Bn absorbed the former 3/5th and 3/6th.
The 4th Reserve Bn then moved to Cheltenham in the winter of 1916–17, to Catterick Garrison in March 1917, to Horton in July 1917, and finally to Seaton Delaval in October 1917 for duty with the Tyne Garrison.
The remaining Home Service men were separated from the 3rd Line battalions in May 1915 and formed into Provisional Battalions for home defence.
The men of 4th Gloucesters joined with those from the rest of the Gloucester and Worcester Brigade (6th Gloucesters and 7th and 8th Worcestershire Regiment) to form 82nd Provisional Battalion in 7th Provisional Brigade.
The Military Service Act 1916 swept away the Home/Foreign service distinction, and all TF soldiers became liable for overseas service, if medically fit.
The Provisional Battalions thus became anomalous, and at the end of 1916 became numbered battalions of their parent unit, the 82nd becoming 17th Battalion Gloucestershire Regiment.
Part of the unit's role was physical conditioning to render men fit for drafting oversea, and 17th Gloucesters remained in the East Coast defences at Clacton-on-Sea and later at St Osyth for the rest of the war.
The battalion's drill hall had been bought by Bristol Museum and Bristol University just before the war, and a new drill hall was built in Old Market Street.
In the 1930s the increasing need for anti-aircraft (AA) defence for Britain's cities was addressed by converting a number of TA infantry battalions into searchlight (S/L) units.
The 4th Gloucesters was one unit selected for this role, becoming 4th (City of Bristol) Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment (66th Searchlight Regiment) on 1 November 1938, with HQ, 447, 448 and 449 S/L Companies at Bristol.
The brigade commanded the 'Bristol Defended Area', including potential targets such as Avonmouth Docks and the Bristol Aeroplane Company factory at Filton Aerodrome.
In February 1939 the existing AA defences came under the control of a new Anti-Aircraft Command and In June a partial mobilisation of TA units was begun in a process known as 'couverture', whereby each AA unit did a month's tour of duty in rotation to man selected AA and searchlight positions.
In the near-total absence of light AA (LAA) guns, detachments from other units were deployed with Lewis guns (LGs) during October and November 1939 to cover various Royal Air Force (RAF) airfields and aircraft factories designated as Vulnerable Points (VPs).
As part of the rapid expansion of AA Command, the battalion provided a cadre of trained officers and men to form the basis of a new AA company in mid-January.
Once the Phoney War ended with the German invasion of the Low Countries on 10 May, 5th AA Division's units were ordered to form picquets and flying columns equipped with rifles and LGs to combat the threat from enemy paratroop landings.
Most actions during the Battle of Britain were over south and south-east England, where RAF airfields were the main targets for day bombers.
In October 448 and 449 S/L Btys experimented with new positions to improve the belts of illumination for RAF night fighters.
The S/L layouts had initially been based on a spacing of , but due to equipment shortages this had been extended to by September 1940.
In November AA Command changed this to clusters of three lights to improve illumination, but this meant that the clusters had to be spaced apart.
The cluster system was an attempt to improve the chances of picking up enemy bombers and keeping them illuminated for engagement by AA guns or night fighters.
Eventually, one light in each cluster was to be equipped with Searchlight Control (SLC) radar and act as 'master light', but the radar equipment was still in short supply.
The expansion of AA defences meant that 5th AA Division was split up on 1 November 1940, with 46 AA Bde and 66 S/L Rgt coming under a new 8th Anti-Aircraft Division, which took responsibility for the City of Bristol and the counties of Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.
In November 1940 the regiment sent cadre No 54, consisting of seven officers and 45 other ranks, to form a new battery at 232nd S/L Training Rgt, Devizes.
The city was bombed heavily on 24/25 November, 2/3 and 6/7 December, and 3/4 January 1941, while Avonmouth was hit on 4/5 and 16/17 January.
After a lull in February, Bristol and Avonmouth were hit again on 16/17 March, 3/4, 4/5 and 11/12 April (the Bristol Blitz).
A new 559 S/L Bty formed on 13 February 1941 at 236th S/L Training Rgt, Oswestry, from a cadre supplied by 74th (Essex Fortress) S/L Rgt.
Then a new 69 AA Bde was formed, and on 1 September it took over command of 46 AA Bde's S/L units, including 66th S/L Rgt, which was redeployed to new sites.
By October the availability of SLC radar was sufficient to allow AA Command's S/L sites to be 'declustered' into single-light sites spaced at intervals in 'Indicator Belts' along the coast and approaches to the GDAs, and 'Killer Belts' at spacing to cooperate with the RAF's night-fighters.
These concentrated on lightly defended targets and avoided the known GDAs like Bristol, but nearby Bath was hit on two successive nights in April and Weston-super-Mare in June, with some misdirected bombs hitting Bristol as well.
By mid-1943, AA Command was being forced to release manpower for overseas service, particularly Operation Overlord (the planned Allied invasion of Normandy) and most S/L regiments lost one of their four batteries.
The rest of the regiment remained in 69 AA Bde, now part of 3 AA Group, until early April 1944, when it came under 64 AA Bde.
Bristol was attacked on the nights of 27/28 March, 23 April and 14 May, but the defences were stronger than in 1941, with plentiful SLC radar to point the S/Ls.
For example, the March attack directed at Bristol consisted of 80 raiders, but as they approached over Dorset they were broken up by the well-directed AA guns and night-fighters: two were shot down, the others scattered their bombs in open country, and one reached the city.
AA Command had plenty of warning that the Germans were developing V-1 flying bombs to use against the UK, and had detailed plans in place (Operation Diver).
This included defences for Bristol comprising successive defence belts across the anticipated flight paths, consisting of S/Ls and LAA guns, then HAA and LAA guns, followed by Barrage balloons and Z Battery rockets before the missiles reached the Bristol GDA.
The V-1s began arriving on 13 June 1944, a week after the Allies had launched their invasion of Normandy on D Day.
Operation Diver was put into effect, but the offensive against Bristol never got under way, because US forces quickly captured the launch sites on the Cherbourg peninsula.
The first V-1 offensive was concentrated against London, and continued until the launching sites in Northern France were overrun by 21st Army Group.
On 23 September the regiment was reinforced by E Trp of the disbanding 461 S/L Bty of 70th (Sussex) S/L Rgt, which joined as E/448 Trp.
So many units were crowded into Eastern England that a new HQ, 9 AA Gp, was created to control the defences of East Anglia, including 56 AA Bde.
AA Command's success rate in this phase was impressive: out of a total of 492 V-1 targets, 320 were shot down, and only 13 reached London.
A last gasp of V-1 attacks was launched from sites in the Netherlands in early March, 1945, but by now AA Command's success rate against these missiles was 80–100 per cent.
RHQ of 66th S/L Rgt and 447, 448 and 449 S/L Btys began entering suspended animation at Shouldham, near King's Lynn, on 16 May 1945, and the process was completed by 17 October 1945.
When the TA was reconstituted on 1 January 1947, 66th S/L Rgt was reformed as 601 (City of Bristol) (Mixed) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery ('Mixed' indicating that members of the Women's Royal Army Corps were integrated into the unit).
Now equipped with HAA guns rather than S/Ls it formed part of Bristol-based 72 AA Bde (the wartime 46 AA Bde).
When AA Command was disbanded on 10 March 1955 there were wholescale mergers among its subordinate units: 601 (City of Bristol) HAA Rgt amalgamated with 312 (Gloucestershire) and 266 (Gloucestershire Volunteer Artillery) HAA Rgts to form 311 (City of Bristol) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery, to which it contributed R (City of Bristol) Bty.
On 1 May 1961 there was a further reorganisation: part of the regiment merged with 883 (Bristol) Locating Bty to form 883 (Gloucestershire Volunteer Artillery) Locating Bty, while R Bty reverted to infantry and merged with two companies of 5th Gloucesters, retaining the City of Bristol title.
Despite several further mergers, B Company of 2nd Bn Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment kept its 'City of Bristol' subtitle until the battalion was disbanded in 1999.
When the unit was re-raised in 1803 as the Royal Bristol Volunteers, the facing colour was changed to the blue appropriate to a 'Royal' regiment; the breeches were white and the officers' lace was silver.
Jervis's Somerset Riflemen followed the fashion of the Rifle Brigade by wearing Rifle green jackets and breeches with black facings and lace.
On the formation of the TF in 1908 the 4th Bn gave up its green uniform and adopted the full dress uniform of the 'Glosters': scarlet with white facings.
In 1918 the contribution of the TF battalions during World War I was recognised when they were permitted to adopt the famous 'Back Badge' of the Glosters (worn on the back of the headgear to commemorate the back-to-back fight of the 28th Foot at the Battle of Alexandria, 1801).
In 1953 a supplementary arm title was officially approved for wear by 601 HAA Rgt, consisting of 'CITY OF BRISTOL' embroidered in black on a rifle green backing; it was worn on the sleeve of the battledress just beneath the embroidered Royal Artillery title.
The Honorary Colonel of the battalion, from the days of the Royal Bristol Volunteers to the amalgamation of 601 (City of Bristol) HAA Regiment, was always the serving Mayor (from 1899 Lord Mayor) of Bristol.
Bicks Ndoni (1958 – 20 January 2020) was a South African politician who served as chief whip of the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality from August 2018 until his death in January 2020.
Ndoni became the deputy mayor of Nelson Mandela Bay in May 2015, as the ANC announced a leadership reshuffle in the municipality.
In 1699 he became Chancellor of Killaloe and in 1705 Archdeacon of Limerick holding both positions until his death until his death.

It was through the union that she met James Connolly, who was impressed by her manner, and offered her a full time position as a union organiser at the offices of the Irish Textile Workers' Union (ITWU) in York Street.
Initially she received no wage, but soon developed a reputation for addressing large public meetings as an animated speaker, who proved very popular with factory girls.
Her husband was a postman who was active in the Socialist Party of Ireland, and then the Belfast labour party from 1918.
After the birth of their first child in the summer of 1916, Grimley had less time for the union movement, and while she was a member of Cumann na mBan, she did not take an active role in the War of Independence.

The next big leap into high-rise construction was the Kharkiv skyscrapers: 13-storey Derzhprom (1928) with 68 meters and 14-story Project House (1932) with 68.5 meters.
In addition, several other skyscrapers began to be built in Soviet times: the KyivTV-center and the House of the USSR Ministry of Melioration in Kyiv, and the «Parus» Hotel in the Dnipro.
The TV-center was completed in 1992, the House of USSR Ministry of Melioration was completed in 2006 in the form of an appellate court, and the construction of the «Parus» Hotel in Dnipro was finally halted in 1995, leaving 80% ready.
The jump to high-rise construction began in the late 1990s when the law on high-rise construction was declared invalid and the state's economy made it possible to construct large-scale buildings; since then, more than 30 homes over 100 meters have been built in the country.
In the long-term plans is the construction of the skyscrapers of Kyiv, Dnipro, Donetsk, Kharkiv and other major cities of Ukraine.
In 2007–2015, the 214-meter multifunctional complex «Sky Towers» was constructing in Kyiv, which is to become the first building in Ukraine to cross the 200-meter mark.
Plans include 53-story «Victory Towers» (now a 36-story residential complex «Manhattan City» is under construction), a 45-story complex in Protasiv Yar, a 60-story «Cadetsky Gai» Center in Kyiv, a 54-story multifunctional complex «Brama» in the Dnipro.
The project of a large-scale business center «Kyiv-City» on the Rybalsky Island, where skyscrapers could stand 200-300 meters in height, is still unrealized.
The project was moved to the territory of the 11th residential district of the Poznyaki-Western and is frozen at the design stage.
Since 2007, when Parus Business Center was become very popular, the skyscraper has appeared in many commercials, music videos, TV shows and the Ukrainian film Oleksandr Kiriyenko «Illusion of Fear», as well as in promotional videos of Ukraine for Euro 2012.
The history of skyscrapers of Ukraine began 110 years ago, but high-rise construction in Ukraine was mastered in the fourteenth century.
The first tall bell tower in the territory of modern Ukraine appeared in Lviv, it was the Kornyakt tower, part of the architectural ensemble of the Assumption Church.
After the completion of the 4th tier in 1695 with a total height of 65.8 m, it became the tallest structure of Ukraine.
Also, an altitude bell tower was built in 1833 in Kharkiv in honor of the Russian Empire's victory over the Napoleonic Army, it was the Assumption Belltower 90 meters high.
In 1899, a grand project was launched in Kiyv – to build the highest bell tower in the Russian Empire at the Trinity Monastery on Zvirynets.
The planned height of the building was 110 meters, but for many different reasons (mainly because of the protests of the Kiev-Pechersk monks and the World War I), this bell tower was not completed.
The skyscraper struck with its novelty, it had 94 apartments, about 500 rooms, a mall on the ground floor and modern forged elevators at that time.
The building was so amazing and tall that pilgrims from other cities prayed before the building, thinking it was some kind of temple.
Until now, the house has not survived, it was blown up on 24 September 1941, by the Red Army, and completely dismantled in the early 1950s, during the construction of Hotel Ukraine.
Another multi-story building was built in Kiyv before World War II, it was the famous Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, which has 10 floors and a height of 58 meters (67 meters with a spire).
The building of the Cooperative House was completed in 1954, which was partly due to the partial destruction in times of World War II.
It was originally planned that the building of the Government House of Ukraine Soviet Republic would be located in the building.
During World War II, 1941, when German troops occupied Kyiv, Soviet troops completely demolished Khreshchatyk and other streets during the retreat.
The complex already had 15 floors, a tower and a spire about 73 meters high with a tower, and 85 with a spire.
The building became a symbol of the modern capital of the USSR, the skyscraper photos were printed in Kiyv tourist guides and postcards.
In Soviet times, the construction of skyscrapers in the USSR was forbidden, but the buildings of 20–32 floors in some cases appeared in the largest cities of the country.
The first residential 16-storey building in the Ukrainian Soviet Republic was built in 1965 at the corner of Zhilyanska and Velyka Vasylkivska streets in Kyiv (48 meters high, 60).
In 1975, they completed the construction of the Kiev House of DATU – a 19-storey skyscraper, which at one time was one of the highest in the USSR.
The first Kharkiv residential skyscraper was built in 1979 – it was a residential complex on Poznańska Street, 2 (24 floors; 69.5 meters).
In 1974, the construction of a 120-meter skyscraper – the Aeroflot Computing Center (today the House of Ministry of Transport of Ukraine) began in Kiev.
Also, in 1981, a 20-story office center was built in Kyiv – today this is the House of Ministry of Labor and Social Relations (70 meters).
The same year, an impressive building was opened in Kyiv – the 27-story Vernadsky Library, one of the 10 largest libraries in the world.
In total, more than 730 16-storey buildings were built in the USSR in the 1970s, and 22,800 16-storey buildings and 450 skyscrapers over 16 floors in the 1980s.
The first skyscraper that appeared in the days of independent Ukraine was the 97-meter House of the National Television Company of Ukraine in Kiev, which was built from 1983 to 1992.
Also, in the 1990s, 14–24 floors were massively built in the country, the highest of them being the 24-storeyed Kiev floors on Heroes of Stalingrad, 16-B, nearly 90 meters high (built in 1994).
Kyiv is the capital of Ukrainian skyscrapers: over two hundred 20–49 story buildings have been built in the last 10 years.
For example, the construction of the most famous long-standing building – the Kiyv Court of Appeal – ended in 2006, construction lasted 28 years, unfinished skyscraper during this time was taken on the balance sheet of 9 different organizations.
By a large margin, Kyiv is ahead of other Ukrainian cities in the number of houses that have 20 or more floors, their number exceeds 400, and this figure is increasing.
The complex includes: the Brama Skyscraper, the 18-storey «Perehrestya» shopping and business center, the «Platforma» Shopping Center, the five-storey «Zigzag» and the three-storey «Klyn», which is a huge food complex.
The main part of the complex, the 54-storey Brama Skyscraper was planned to start construction after the construction of «Perehrestya», but in 2014 the construction was frozen.
The first skyscraper to cross the 100-meter mark was built in 2008, a 103.4-meter residential building on Illicha Avenue, 19a – this building remains one of the tallest in the city and adorns the famous avenue.
The most recent of these are: Congress Hall and Green Plaza, 23-storey Victoria Hotel, 26-storey Panoramic, and 110-meter North Business Center.
In the future, more and more skyscrapers appeared in the city, and in 2004–2009 it was built: a 25-storey «Mir», a 22-storey «Triumph», a 25-storey «Pioneer», a 25-storey «Parus» and a 27-storey «Svitlyy Dim» – the tallest skyscraper in the city which is 97 meters high.
In 2009, a complex of two buildings was opened at once: the 25-storey «Ultra» Tower, one of the most prestigious residential complexes in Ukraine.
The history of Odesa skyscrapers began in the 2000s, when residential and office high-rise buildings began to be built en masse in the city.
Currently, the buildings of the upper 20 floors are also being built in Brovary, Chornomorsk, Mariupol, Vyshgorod, Kropyvnytskyi, Mykolaiv, Cherkasy and Truskavets.
Many 14-19-story high-rises have been built and continue to be actively erected in many other regional centers and large cities of Ukraine.
Kurt Frank Reinhardt (November 6, 1896 – June 13, 1989) was a German-born American Germanist, philosopher and educator who was Professor at the Department of Modern European Languages and of the German Studies Department at Stanford University from 1930 to 1962.
He attended the classical gymanisum in Mannheim, and subsequently studied literature, philosophy, and art history at the University of Munich, Heidelberg University and University of Freiburg.
From 1930 to 1962, he was Professor at the Department of Modern European Languages and of the German Studies Department at Stanford University.
Police told reporters that Haynie allegedly shot and killed his mother and 12 year old sister first, around 1 pm and waited to attack the others when they arrived home.
His 15 year old sister was killed sometime after she arrived home between 2 and 5 pm, and was shot multiple times as well.
The father reportedly wrestled away the weapon, and was told by Haynie that his intention was to kill everyone in the house except himself, per charging documents.
Haynie shot and killed his mother Consuelo Alejandra Haynie (52 years old) and his three younger siblings aged 12, 14 and 15 before wounding his father in the leg when he returned home.
He was charged as an adult in the 3rd District Court with four counts of aggravated murder, one count of attempted aggravated murder and five counts of discharge of a firearm.
During his initial appearance in court, Haynie was ordered to stay in juvenile detention facility with a bail set at $4 million.
In memory of the victims, yellow ribbons and signs were posted on trees and other objects around the neighborhood and town.
Shortly after the shooting Utah Governor Gary Herbert tweeted his condolences and urged adults with guns in their homes to make sure they were properly secured.
The 1986 NCAA Skiing Championships were contested at the Stowe Mountain Resort in Stowe, Vermont as part of the 33rd annual NCAA-sanctioned ski tournament to determine the individual and team national champions of men's and women's collegiate slalom skiing and cross country skiing in the United States.
Utah, coached by Pat Miller, claimed their fourth team national championship, ten points ahead of Vermont in the cumulative team standings.
The regiment had an excellent fighting reputation, and had important roles in the Battle of Hanover and the Battle of the Wilderness.
Among the prisons where captured members of the regiment were kept were Libby Prison in Richmond and Andersonville Prison in Georgia.
Between September 20, 1860, and February 1, 1861, seven southern states seceded from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America.
The two sides were the blue-clad federal soldiers that were mostly from northern states against gray-clad rebels from the south who sought to form a separate country called the Confederate States of America.
De Forest was the original colonel and regimental commander, and his October 1861 command included 50 officers and 1,064 enlisted men.
Major Philip G. Vought commanded the First Battalion, while Major James Davidson and Major George H. Gardner commanded the Second and Third Battalions, respectively.
On March 31, 1862, the regiment was ordered to join the V Corps under the command of General Nathaniel P. Banks.
On May 23, Banks became concerned about security, and sent CompanyB and CompanyD from the 5th New York Cavalry to Front Royal.
After about two hours of fighting and the approach of enemy cavalry, Kenly and Vought began a retreat north, with Vought's cavalry as the rear guard.
The result of the fighting at Front Royal and Cedarville was lopsided: Kenly's force had an estimated 904 casualties, while the Confederates had 56.
After receiving dispatches from Vought, Banks realized that Jackson was trying to position his army between Banks and Winchester, which would isolate Banks and cut his supply line.
Colonel De Forest and 6 companies were assigned rear guard duty plus the additional task of destroying any supplies that could not be salvaged.
After De Forest began moving north, he discovered that his command and additional soldiers had their route on the Shenandoah Pike blocked by rebels, which caused them to be separated from Bank's main force.
De Forest used mountain roads west of the pike to evade the rebels, and eventually reunited a battery and 32 wagons of supplies with Banks at Williamsport—an 84-mile retreat ending in the relative safety of Maryland.
While De Forest moved north on the mountain roads, Banks was attacked several times on the Valley Pike while hurrying to Winchester.
His outnumbered army was soundly defeated at Winchester on May 25, and he escaped across the Potomac River mostly because Jackson's men and horses were exhausted from the chase.
During the three days from May23 through May25, the 5th New York Cavalry suffered 38 casualties at Front Royal, 6 at Middletown, 7 at Newtown-Crossroads, and 10 at Winchester.
Eventually it was discovered that Belle Boyd, the notorious rebel spy, played an important role in Banks' defeat by providing information to the rebels from inside Union lines.
By the end of May, the regiment was back in Virginia, and during June it became part of the II Corps, Army of Virginia.
The regiment's most prominent actions of July and August in terms of casualties were at Barnett's Ford and Orange Court House.
On July 18, CompanyA had 1 officer and 22 enlisted men captured, plus 1 wounded, while on picket at Barnett's Ford.
At Orange Court House, brigade commander General Samuel W. Crawford sent the regiment at a slow pace into a seemingly empty town—only to have it ambushed by rebels under cover.
Colonel De Forest was surrounded by rebels, but saved by bugler Conrad Bohrer of CompanyI who died from a saber wound after his horse was shot.
A flanking party of three companies commanded by Captain Hammond charged into town from the opposite end and drove the rebels away.
Casualties for the regiment were 1 officer wounded, 2 enlisted men killed, 9 enlisted men wounded, and 11 enlisted men captured.
Private John Tribe of CompanyG was later awarded the Medal of Honor for extraordinary heroism in this battle at Waterloo Bridge where he helped destroy the bridge while under enemy fire.
On August 27, three companies were detached as the escort of General Samuel P. Heintzelman, while the remaining portion of the regiment became the escort of General John Pope, commander of the Army of Virginia.
As Pope's escort, 7 companies of the regiment were present at the Second Battle of Bull Run (also known as the Battle of Second Manassas).
Much of the regiment's time in the autumn of 1862 was spent scouting or on picket duty between Washington, DC and the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Although Johnstone led an October 8 expedition that did not meet any rebels, the regiment was often led in the field by Major Hammond or Captain Abram Krom.
One of the more successful endeavors happened on November 29 at Snicker's Ferry when Krom led the regiment as it drove away rebel snipers harassing the regiment as it attempted to cross the Shenandoah River.
With the assistance of reinforcements, the rebels were defeated and numerous men and supplies were captured—including 3 officers, 32 enlisted men, 60 horses, 50 head of cattle, wagons, and ambulances.
By 1863, much of the regiment's fighting was against guerrilla warriors known as Mosby's Rangers, who were under the command of John S. Mosby.
Late at night on March 9, Mosby conducted a raid at Fairfax Courthouse that was intended to capture Colonel Percy Wyndham and horses.
The sleeping Stoughton was captured—as was Captain Elmer J. Barker of the 5th New York Cavalry, who had been temporarily assigned to Wyndham's brigade staff.
Johnstone, awakened by the noise of the horses, yelled out the window—wanting to know why so much cavalry was moving around late at night.
About 40 men from the regiment, led by Major Hammond, surprised Mosby's men after they had surprised a detachment of about 100 men from the 1st (West) Virginia Cavalry.
In early June, Stahal's cavalry division was detached from defending Washington so that it could join General George Meade's Army of the Potomac and defend the northern states from an invasion by Lee's Army of Northern Virginia.
The entire Union army force was reorganized on June 28, and the regiment became part of the 3rd Division of the Cavalry Corps, Army of the Potomac.
Brigadier General Elon J. Farnsworth commanded the brigade as a replacement for De Forest, who was ill. Brigadier General George Armstrong Custer commanded the Second Brigade, which consisted of regiments from Michigan.
At the time of the attack, the 18th Pennsylvania was in the rear of Kilpatrick's division and close to entering the small town of Hanover, Pennsylvania.
Major Hammond was commanding the 5th New York, which was ahead of the 18th Pennsylvania and in the streets of the town.
The attack began with an artillery shot, and soon union soldiers faced first the 13th Virginia Cavalry, then a battalion from North Carolina's 2nd Cavalry, and finally the 9th Virginia Cavalry.
The 5th New York's Private Thomas Burke of CompanyA captured the flag of the 13th Virginia Cavalry while capturing and disarming two rebels, and he was awarded the Medal of Honor for his action.
This June 30 battle became known as the Battle of Hanover, and casualties for all participants on both sides totaled to about 330.
On July 2, the division moved closer to Gettysburg, and was on the extreme right side of the entire Union army—close to New Oxford and Hunterstown.
On July 3, the First Brigade moved to the left wing of the army, about from Gettysburg near a hill known as Little Round Top.
The 5th New York was assigned to protect an artillery battery, while the remaining portion of the brigade made two charges against infantry.
Farnsworth was killed in the second charge, and at least one cavalry leader was critical of Kilpatrick's decision to have a mounted charge in terrain that was not ideal for cavalry.
This three-day battle became known as the Battle of Gettysburg, and over 83,000 Union soldiers fought against over 75,000 Confederate soldiers.
The 5th New York Cavalry suffered significant casualties on July 6 in the Battle of Williamsport (also known as Battle of Hagerstown) in Hagerstown, Maryland, (near the road to Williamsport) as part of Meade's attempt to prevent the escape of Lee's army.
Regimental historian Boudrye later wrote that the regiment had 2 officers wounded and 3 officers captured, plus enlisted men casualties of 3 killed, 8 wounded, and 54 captured.
The Army of the Potomac eventually crossed back to Virginia, and the headquarters of the 3rd Division was established near Warrenton.
The brigade was commanded by Brigadier General Henry E. Davies Jr. After some early successes, portions of Kilpatrick's brigade were partially surrounded on October 19 in the Battle of Buckland Mills.
In this campaign, the regiment was still part of the First Brigade of the 3rd Division, but General George A. Custer was the division commander.
Private of CompanyG was awarded the Medal of Honor for rescuing a soldier from 3 Confederates at Raccoon Ford on November 27.
In Davies' December 3 report, he praised the 5th New York's Captain Krom, who's battalion held off the enemy at Raccoon Ford for six days.
While Hammond and Krom were gone, cavalry detachments from the 2nd New York, 5th New York, 1st Vermont, 1st Maine, and 5th Michigan departed Stevensburg, Virginia, on February 28, 1864, for a special mission.
The detachment from the 5th New York was 40 men from companiesI andK, and they were commanded by Lieutenant Henry A. D. Merritt.
The plan was for Kilpatrick's main Union force to attack Richmond from the north as a diversion, while Dahlgren's command approached from the south.
Dahlgren's goal was to liberate prisoners in several prisons (including Libby Prison), destroy mills and warehouses, destroy railroad communications, and capture artillery at Frederick Hall Station on the Virginia Central Railroad.
Of the 40 men from the 5th New York, 14 were captured—and 5 of those captured eventually died at the infamous Andersonville prison in Georgia.
Although Grant decided not to replace Meade as commander of the Army of the Potomac, he kept his headquarters with Meade's and provided direction.
Kilpatrick was assigned to a larger command out west, and he was replaced as commander of Sheridan's 3rd Division by General James H. Wilson.
Colonel John B. McIntosh replaced Davies as commander of the cavalry division's First Brigade—which consisted of the 18th Pennsylvania, 1st Connecticut, 2nd New York, and 5th New York cavalries.
The regiment, commanded by Hammond, was detached from Wilson's division with orders to proceed down the Orange Plank Road to Parker's Store and establish a picket line to guard the approach from Mine Run (west).
The danger for Meade's army was that if Hill could take control of the intersection of Orange Plank and Brock roads, Warren's VCorps would have large enemy forces on two sides, and General Winfield S. Hancock's IICorps could get isolated from the rest of Meade's army.
Hammond was eventually pushed back to the point where Orange Plank Road intersects with Brock Road, but was relieved by infantry from the VI Corps under the command of General George W. Getty.
Casualties for both armies combined are estimated to be 28,800, including the deaths of Union generals Alexander Hays and James S. Wadsworth—and 3 Confederate generals.
Hammond was ordered by General John Sedgwick to take command of all cavalry on that road, which included the 5th New York, 22nd New York, and 2nd Ohio.
On June 1, Wilson's 3rd Division (5th New York was in McIntosh's First Brigade) was at Ashland Station on the Virginia Central Railroad.
Casualties for the 5th New York at Ashland Station were: 2 officers wounded, 3 captured, and 13 enlisted men wounded and 17 captured.
On June 22, Wilson's cavalry division (including the 5th New York Cavalry), reinforced by portions of a division commanded by General August Kautz, began the raid using lesser-traveled roads to move south and west.
By June 26, the Union force advanced as far south and west as a bridge on the Staunton River near Roanoke Station, but was unsuccessful in capturing the bridge and could not continue southward along the rail line.
In the return trip, Wilson's force lost two battles and found his path back to Union lines blocked by rebel troops.
In a desperate attempt to return to safety, artillery was spiked, supply wagons burned, and ambulances were abandoned with wounded that would become prisoners.
A rebel infantry attack caused half of Wilson's First Brigade (5th New York and 2nd Ohio) and Kautz to become separated from Wilson.
He estimated that losses were 1,000 men, 2,000 horses, 14 artillery pieces, 27 wagons, 14 ambulances, and about 250 wounded that could not be moved and became prisoners.
Better records later indicated that the failed 350-mile raid destroyed some railroad track but cost 1,445 casualties out of a force of 5,500 men.
The dismounted men were sent to a camp in the District of Columbia and eventually fought at Maryland Heights, Rockville, Toll Gate, Poolesville, Snicker's Ferry, and Kernstown.
On August 12, Wilson's division (including the 5th New York Cavalry) was ordered to report to Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley.
They proceeded on the next day through Leesburg and Snicker's Gap and reached Sheridan's Army of the Shenandoah near Opequon Creek about 2 miles from Winchester.
During his tenure, he had a bone in his right hand broken from a bullet and his right leg cracked above the ankle from a shot that hit his saber scabbard.
Bacon commanded the regiment for only a short time, resigning effective September 12 (White was released from a Confederate prison on that day).
Although Major White was exchanged from Libby Prison on September 12 and promoted to lieutenant colonel on September 15, but he did not take command of the regiment until he rejoined it in Winchester on December 19.
In September and continuing until April 1865, CompanyK became the escort of General William H. Emory, commander of the XIX Corps.
The Battle of Opequon, also known as the Third Battle of Winchester, is considered the most important American Civil War battle in the Shenandoah Valley.
Over 54,000 men (both sides together) participated in this Union victory on September 19, and casualties for both sides totaled to over 8,600.
The commander of the entire Union Army in this battle was Major General Philip Sheridan, and his cavalry was led by Major General Alfred T. A. Torbert.
Brigadier General John B. McIntosh led Wilson's First Brigade until he was seriously wounded, and then it was led by Lieutenant Colonel George A. Purington.
General McIntosh led one of the charges (a dismounted charge) and was wounded—causing his left leg to be amputated below the knee.
Torbert used Merrit's 1st Division to attack cavalry led by Lunsford L. Lomax and Custer's 3rd Division to attack Thomas L. Rosser.
Crook's Union VIII Corps were surprised around 4:00 AM, and many of Crook's men were killed or captured while in their tents.
The First Brigade of Custer's 3rd Division was commanded by Colonel Alexander C. M. Pennington, and the 5th New York Cavalry (part of the First Brigade) was commanded by Major Krom.
The 5th New York performed well in this battle, capturing 22 artillery pieces, 14 caissons, 24 wagons and ambulances, 83 sets of artillery harnesses, 75 sets of wagon harnesses, 98 horses, and 67 mules.
Sergeant David H. Scofield (the regiment's quartermaster) captured the flag of the 13th Virginia Infantry and was awarded the Medal of Honor.
Corporal John Walsh of CompanyD recaptured the flag of the 15th New Jersey Infantry that the rebels had captured earlier in the day and was awarded the Medal of Honor.
A few men from the regiment (orderlies and messengers) remained with Sheridan, while the 5th New York was joined by several of the depleted regiments and dismounted men.
The surrender look place at the home of Wilmer and Virginia McLean in the small community of Appomattox Court House, Virginia.
The majority of the regiment was in Winchester at the time of Lee's surrender, although a small number of men were escorts for Sheridan and Custer at Appomattox.
Private John McEwan of CompanyL was one of the escorts, and he accompanied General Lee to the house where the first interview with General Grant was conducted before the surrender.
On July 18, Colonel White, commanding the regiment, notified the regiment that it would leave on the next day to New York City to muster out.
On July 25, the first two battalions of the regiment (plus CompanyI of the Third Battalion) received their pay and departed for home.

The palace is also sometimes referred to as the Palazzo Gonzaga-Spolverini, but the palace belonging to those families was either razed or subsumed into the present neoclassical structure and garden.
By the 1550s, the site had a palace with a large courtyard and garden, belonging to Giovanni Ludovico Gonzaga of the de’ Nobili family, of the Schivenoglia line, who died in 1546.
Her heirs sold the palace to the Cavriani family, who rebuilt the palazzo in 1756, based on designs by the architect Alfonso Torreggiani.
The fence surrounding the garden has outward facing bust of famous Mantuans, with a statue of Virgil (1835) and Giuseppe Fontana in the center.
The garden utilized the sculptor Stefano Gerola; Chiozzini and Silva for the wrought iron and the Mantuan painter Alessandro Ferraresi for the creation of the perspectives painted on the far walls.
In September 1838, on the occasion of a visit to Mantua by Emperor Ferdinand I, the Marquis organised an extravagant system of lights for his garden, and the property was connected by an underground passageway designed by the Venetian Giuseppe Jappelli to link it to the gardens at the Palazzo di Schivenoja or dell’Abate.

In the past both orders were formerly classified with various other orders of ant-eating mammals, most notably Xenarthra, which includes the true anteaters, sloths, and the armadillos which pangolins superficially resemble.
Some palaeontologists, placing Ernanodonta in a separate suborder of Cimolesta near Pholidota, have classified the pangolins in the order Cimolesta, together with several extinct groups indicated (†) below, though this idea has fallen out of favor since it was determined that cimolestids were not placental mammals.

The surface of the Blanche River (except the rapids areas) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, but the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from the end of December to the beginning of March.
From the mouth of Lac Blanc, the Blanche river turns southeast for 1.1 km to the mouth of Boisvert stream (note: approximately 215 m after the mouth, the current crosses the Morissette Falls).
Then the river makes a 2.1 km foray into Saint-Alban by crossing the Chute at Bélanger and passing by a saw, to return to flow in Saint-Thuribe.
Then, the river flows 8.2 km south in Saint-Thuribe to its confluence where it flows on the west bank of the Black River.
From there, this last 1.8 km route to the south to empty into the Sainte-Anne River, near Grandbois Island, at the eastern edge of the village from Saint-Casimir.
This confluence is located 4.2 km (measured by the current) upstream from the limit of the MRC of Portneuf Regional County Municipality or 8.1 km upstream from the bridges of Autoroute 40 or 11.5 km upstream from the mouth of the Sainte-Anne River.
The Blanche River watershed is located mainly in a forest environment, with the exception of the downstream section of the river, ie in a highly agricultural environment.

In April 1839 he made an ascent from the Standard Tavern, City Road in one of Mr H Green's hydrogen filled balloons.
A poster (printed by John Leach, Wisbech) of his ascent from near the Gas Works, Wisbech on Monday, July 1841 is in the Science Museum collection.
An ascent in July 1843 nearly ended fatally when his balloon came down in the sea and he had to be rescued off Bray-Head.
During his 100th ascent the butterfly valve froze when they were at high altitude and Gypson was forced to use a knife to cut a hole in the balloon to release gas and bring the balloon back to ground safely, 59 miles from their take off in Bedford, landing in Oxfordshire.
In 1853 Gypson aged 42 before the Middlesex Sessions was convicted of stealing pewter tankers, he was sentenced to one hours custody and released into the care of his friends.

The Vancouver 36 is an American sailboat that was designed by Robert B. Harris as a bluewater ocean cruiser and first built in 1977.
This boat design is often confused with the later and unrelated Tony Taylore-designed Vancouver 36 sailboat, which was built in the United Kingdom by Northshore Yachts, starting in 1989.
The design was built by Durbeck's Inc in Sarasota, Florida, United States, starting in 1977, until they went out of business in 1983.
Hidden Harbor Boatworks, also in Sarasota, then produced the design until they too went out of business a few years later, in the late 1980s, ending production.

Milica Rakić () was a three-year-old Serbian girl who was killed by a cluster munition during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.
Her home was located from the Batajnica Air Base, which was repeatedly targeted by NATO during its air campaign against Yugoslavia.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) investigators visited the site of her death on 7 August 1999, inspected the damage and interviewed eyewitnesses.
The incident marked the first NATO use of cluster munitions in Serbia-proper; all prior instances of their use by NATO had been recorded in Kosovo.
Following her death, some sectors of the Serbian public called for Rakić to be canonized as a saint by the Serbian Orthodox Church.
In 2000, a monument dedicated to the children killed in the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia was unveiled in Belgrade's Tašmajdan Park.
In 2004, the Tvrdoš Monastery near the town of Trebinje, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, unveiled a fresco of Rakić which contained an inscription describing her as a neomartyr.
At the time, the Serbian Orthodox Church announced that it would only consider canonizing Rakić if her cult gained a widespread following.
The following year, a new sculpture of Rakić was unveiled in Tašmajdan Park to replace the one that had previously been stolen.
In 1970, the boot was on the other foot as Gigi Riva led Unione Sportiva Cagliari with 21 goals in 30 games helped the Sardinian side win their only Serie A title.
­Having spent most of the 1950s mired in Serie B, Riva’s arrival in 1964 galvanised the team and was a magnet for other players to leave more fashionable clubs to head to Sardinia such as goalkeeper Enrico Albertosi (Fiorentina) and midfielder Angelo Domenghini (Inter).
After the team clinched the title, Italian national team managerFerruccio Valcareggi called six players from this Cagliari squad — Albertosi, Domenghini, Gori, Riva, Comunardo Niccolai and Pierluigi Cera — to the 1970 FIFA World Cup in Mexico, where they reached a decent 2nd place.

Treating, in the social context of dating, is the practice of exchanging companionship and sexual activity (up to and including intercourse) for entertainment outings, gifts, and other items of monetary value, such as tickets and clothes.
Treating was prevalent in the large urban areas of the United States from the 1890s to 1940s, reaching its peak in the 1920s and 30s, and was usually engaged in by young working-class women.
It began as a political term with the practice of providing understood as a means to influence people and gain benefits.
The word's use as a verb in a social context is believed to have originated in the male sphere of saloons when individuals would treat each other to another round of drinks.
Around the turn of the nineteenth century, young working-class women who were seeking language for their interactions and bartering with young men, borrowed the word.
In cities and elsewhere, an array of cheap amusements had emerged and flourished, including public dances, amusement parks, and nickelodeon movie theatres.
Changing societal mores allowed young women who previously needed to escorted more freedom to go out on their own or in groups.
The cheap amusements were a major draw, but going out regularly for young working-class women proved difficult as their wages were very low.
Some refrained from going out or limited going out to special occasions, while others depended on their male counterparts to finance their entertainment pleasures.
Due to the necessity of depending on males for their entertainment and fun, the practice of treating by young working-class women emerged.
These women did not see themselves as prostitutes but often walked a fine line between being treated and being paid for their sexual services.
As the practice of treating by young women became more widely known, it attracted the attention of reformers and vice squads who were alarmed by the activity.
It was considered nothing less than outright prostitution by some, even though the young women engaged in the behavior drew sharp distinctions between the two.
The taxi-dance halls where young women hostesses could be danced with for a modest sum per dance, usually ten cents, drew the particular ire of reformers, and some venues were shut down.
One of the distinguishing physical properties helpful for identifying euchlorine in hand sample is its streak, which is a pistachio-green color.
If trying to find euchlorine in the field, wear protective clothing as the volcanic fumaroles around which it occurs can be very hot (approximately 300 to 650°C, 580 to 1200°F) and can cause severe steam burns if not adequately protected.
It occurred as a sublimate in fumaroles (hot vents of steam and other volcanic gases) that formed during the 1868 volcanic eruption, it has also been found in fumaroles during eruptions at the same location in 1892 and 1893.
In 1987 euchlorine was one of the minerals found in association with Mcbirneyite when it was first discovered in fumaroles at the summit of Izalco Volcano.
At fumarole deposits in the North Breach from the Tolbachik Volcano eruption of the Great Fissure on the Kamchatka Peninsula euchlorine (as euchlorite) was found associated with newly discovered mineral avdoninite and reported around 2005-2007.
In 2012 the discovery of a new fumarolic mineral cupromolybdite found in the New Tolbachik Scoria Cones in association with euchlorine at Tolbachik Volcano was published.
Not long after, in early 2013, yaroshevskite was reported newly discovered from scoria cones of the Great Fissure Eruption at Tolbachik Volcano in association with euchlorine.
The first mineral was wulffite and the second was parawulffite, both from the area of the Northern Breakthrough during the Great Fissure Eruption.
Work conducted on fumarole deposits from the same eruption found euchlorine being associated with a newly discovered mineral called itelmenite and was reported in 2015 and published in mid to late 2018.

Olweus was a fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University from 1986 to 1987.
The success of the program led to a government-led initiative to implement the intervention (which would became known as the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program [OBPP]) throughout all Norwegian elementary and junior high schools.
The OBPP has been systematically evaluated in a number of large-scale studies in Norway that have included more than 30,000 students.
Studies have indicated a reduction in reports of being bullied and bullying others of about 35 to 45%, among students involved in the program.
One study, conducted by Olweus and Sue Limber of Clemson University in South Carolina, evaluated the effectiveness of the program in U.S. schools, including nearly 70,000 students, over the course of three years.
The study found reductions in students' reports of being bullied and bullying others, as well as increases in students' expressions of empathy.
In addition to the Norway and the U.S., the OBPP has been implemented in Iceland, Sweden, and Lithuania, and is being piloted in Mexico, Brazil, and Germany.
In 2003, Olweus was given the Award for Distinguished Contributions to Public Policy for Children by the Society for Research in Child Development.
Vasić was born in 1971 in Pirot, in what was then the Socialist Republic of Serbia in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
He graduated from the University of Niš Faculty of Electronic Engineering in 1996, worked as a systems engineer for six years, and received his master's degree from the University of Niš in 2003.
Vasić elected to the Pirot municipal assembly in 2000 as a member of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia, a broad coalition of parties opposed to Slobodan Milošević's administration.
He was first elected as mayor of Pirot in late 2003, defeating Socialist Party of Serbia candidate Dragan Todorović in the second round of a direct election.
The following year, he rejected the far-right Serbian Radical Party's argument that Pirot should reject the donation of a city bus from the Dutch city of The Hague while Serbian military and political figures were detained by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in the same city; Vasić noted that the municipal government and the tribunal were different entities.
In 2009–2010, Vasić took part in negotiations with G17 Plus and other regional party leaders that led to the creation of the United Regions of Serbia (URS) alliance.
This caused a serious split at the local level; some Coalition for Pirot members who opposed joining the URS sought to overturn Vasić's leadership and expel him from the movement.
Vasić responded that the Coalition for Pirot was not a formal political organization and that the expulsion effort was therefore meaningless.
At around the same time, Vasić brought the local committee of the Radical Party into his municipal governing alliance, following the departure of the Democratic Party.
This was a controversial decision; after the announcement, Serbian deputy prime minister Božidar Đelić refused to visit Pirot during a tour of south Serbia.
Vasić became involved in a controversy with a local newspaper in 2011, after he accused a journalist of interfering with the business of the municipal assembly by making an unauthorized recording on a handheld device.
In 2012, Vasić signed a memorandum of understanding for the company Michelin to expand its Tigar Tyres plant in the municipality.
Vasić received the fifth position on the URS electoral list in the 2012 Serbian parliamentary election as a G17 Plus candidate and was duly elected to the National Assembly when the list won sixteen mandates.
He could not hold a dual mandate as mayor and a member of the assembly, and he resigned his parliamentary seat on 30 August 2012, saying that he did not agree with the law in this instance and did not believe he was in a conflict of interest situation.
Vasić received the eighth position on its list for the 2014 parliamentary election, but the list did not cross the electoral threshold to representation in the assembly and subsequently dissolved.
Vasić led the Coalition for Pirot to another victory in the 2016 Serbian local elections, narrowly defeating the list of the Serbian Progressive Party.
He was born in Antwerp in 1624 and entered the Society of Jesus there, becoming a teacher of literature and mathematics in the order.
Second-seeded Daphne Akhurst and Jean Borotra won the final on a walkover against the first seeds Esna Boyd and Jack Hawkes, to win the Mixed Doubles tennis title at the 1928 Australian Championships.
Originally this final (as well as men's singles and men's doubles finals) was scheduled to be played on Saturday, February 4.
This was not agreed to by the committee and his semi-final and subsequent final mixed doubles matches were postponed until Monday, February 6.
Unfortunately, Miss Boyd, who had been in Sydney for a fortnight (as the women's events have begun on 21st of January), could not arrange to remain longer and had to scratch.
He started his training under Ryōi Shintō-ryū master Saizo Shimosaka, and eventually known as a fearsome fighter not only due to his skill, but also to his large size for a Japanese man of his time, being 1,76m tall.
Through the years Nakamura, his training partner Shogo Uehara and the Sekiguchi-ryū artists Tetsutaro Hisatomi and Danzo Naka were known as the four strongest jujutsu fighters in Kurume, reaching fame throughout the entire nation.
When the Meiji Restoration caused the Nakamura clan to be dissolved in 1868, Hansuke became a fisherman and a sake brewer in order to make a living, yet he didn't stop practicing his art.
Nakamura won the match, breaking Toshieguchi's arm with an armbar, but the scuffle was so brutal that Toshieguchi tried to escape the hold by gruesomely biting Nakamura's leg.
The bout was witnessed by Masaaki Samura from Takeuchi Santo-ryū, another rival school, and this ensured a bout between Nakamura and him the next year.
Nakamura started by kneeling down to goad Samurai to go to newaza, where he was skilled, but Samura refused to engage.
However, Samura rolled off with ukemi, and after entangling again he surprisingly captured Nakamura's back, locking a hadaka jime for the victory.
In 1877, by mediation of his master Shimosaka, Nakamura became a hand-to-hand instructor for several police services, among them the prestigious Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
He shared duties with Uehara, Hisatomi, Samura and Matsugoro Okuda, creating along them a special program to select aspiring policemen by their physical skills.
Nakamura come to be known as one of the toughest men in Japan due to his strength and history of challenges.
While working in the police, Nakamura participated in another challenge between the Ryōi Shintō-ryū and Takeuchi Santo-ryū, facing this time Koji Yano in 1881.
Unlike the previous, Nakamura dominated easily the match, pinning Yano under kami shiho gatame, but Yano fouled by biting Nakamura in the chest from underneath.
The match was stopped against Nakamura's wishes by Samura, who saw his teammate's act as dishonorable, and it took Samura breaking Yano's teeth with his wooden chopsticks to make him release his bite.
In 1886, with the rise of Jigoro Kano and his Kodokan institute, Nakamura sided against them in behalf of the Totsuka Yōshin-ryū, the country's main jujutsu school.
However, as soon as the match started, Tomita immediately scored a tomoe nage, and he repeated the technique two more times before his shocked opponent managed to block it.
The judoka followed with an ouchi gari, which Nakamura blocked, and a hiza guruma, which seemed successful, but the jujutsuka pulled Tomita to the ground and tried to pin him with kami-shiho-gatame.
Acknowledging he had completely underestimated the Kodokan technique, Nakamura subjected himself to harsh training in order to get revenge on a future rematch.
In one of his preferred methods, he lied on a tatami with a balance pole placed over his throat while six people stood on it and struck it with shinai swords.
Nakamura faced off with Sakujiro Yokoyama, an opponent who was only slightly lighter than him and who had just defeated Nakamura's old rival Samura, in a match that became legendary.
Although Sakujiro was able to escape with great effort and score a harai goshi, he did not follow him to the ground, as he now knew Hansuke was dangerous at newaza.
From this point, the fighters continued trying to escape their opponent's field of strength while attempting to bring him to their own, until the draw was called at 55 minutes.
In total, they fought half an hour standing and 25 minutes on the ground, and they were rendered so tired that the referee had to forcefully pry their numb fingers apart to separate them when the match ended.

This journey lasted longer than the usual route, and disembarkation at St. Paul's Bay was also slower, so the next scheduled crossing from Marfa of 16.30 was cancelled.
A policeman who was among the stranded passengers phoned his superiors in Gozo, who then informed Sergeant S. Galea, a policeman on duty at Mġarr, to make arrangements to pick up the passengers.
The number of people on the boat was higher than expected, and despite Refalo and Grima's proposal to make two trips, the passengers had insisted on making only one crossing.
At this point, the seas became rougher due to the wind direction, and the coxswain told the passengers that it would be better to head to the bay of Ħondoq ir-Rummien than the harbour of Mġarr.
One of the passengers, Karmnu Attard, managed to swim to shore and went to the village of Qala to call the police at Mġarr, informing the authorities about the accident.

The Ponte dei Mulini is the name attached to the mainly man-made separations made across the Mincio River at Mantua, region of Lombardy, Italy.
Circa the year 1188, the architect Alberto Pitentino designed a series of dams to flood the swampy area North and West of the medieval city of Mantua.
Use of the kinetic energy of the water flow was directed through at least 12 dozen mills, each named after a separate apostle, built along the dam.

The brook arises near Woodbridge High School, flows east, and crosses Wedgewood Avenue, Amboy Avenue and Barron Avenue before entering Woodbridge River in the Woodbridge River Park.
The twin culvert size at the railroad crossing just downstream from Barron Avenue is 4x4 feet; this leads to severe upstream flooding.
It is estimated that a 100 year flood will put the area under nine feet of water and affect 42 homes.
Farther downstream the Wedgewood Avenue neighborhood along the brook is susceptible to tidal flooding, and many of its homes have been offered buyouts by the city.
After Sandy, using money from the New Jersey Buyout Program, Woodbridge bought out and demolished many residential properties in the flood hazard areas.
In Woodbridge not everybody wants to sell; 2050, when the properties may be under water, seems too far in the future for some.

There, the organization was born, which has expanded throughout the entity and even in adjacent parts of the state with Querétaro and Michoacán , where its main activity is the theft of fuel, registering 1,696 milking points during 2017.

Soon, Aurelia falls ill. Dr. Berenguer is alarmed and enters Aurelia in the hospital, where he seems to experience some improvement.
When his wife exhibits the same symptoms, consult other specialists and perform a diagnostic test to confirm the presence of poison.
Although the evidence is considered circumstantial, since Prades confessed after 36 hours without eating or sleeping, a flask of an arsenic-based killer was found among her belongings that was suspected of being the weapon of the crime.
The executioner designated to carry out the execution was Antonio López Sierra who, after knowing that a woman was going to be executed, refused to do so.

Though Valentine's Day in Pakistan is officially banned, and the Islamist orthodoxy has taken steps to obstruct celebrations, many Pakistanis celebrate the day's festivities.
In recent years, youth and commercial establishments in Pakistan have supported Valentine's Day festivities and celebrating romantic friendship and love, as noted by journalists Asif Shahzad and Andrew Roche and Safia Bano, a philosophy lecturer.
They note that youth in the country, where 60 percent of the population is below age 30 and half are under 18, are influenced more by global trends than traditions.
Diaa Hadid says that it is a cause célèbre for religious hard-liners, affording conservatives a chance assert themselves as the caretakers of Islamic identity.
On the other hand, with or without the moral policing, couples are finding ways to defy the ban and celebrate the event, supported by merchants who can increase their prices during the week preceding February 14th.
The Socio-religio-political Islamist antagonism and judicial overreach in Pakistan towards love and Valentine's Day in Pakistan is difficult for outsiders to comprehend.
In the conservative view, women are not allowed to show their faces, not allowed to talk to unrelated men unless the communication is essential, and are unable to choose their own life partner, as that is a decision made by the head of the family.
The focus is not simply to restrict women's free expression on a particular day, but rather to subjugate women to strengthen male dominance through their seclusion from public life.
Lacking an understanding of their civil, legal, and political rights, women's opportunities for participation in society are limited and they are left vulnerable to exploitation, oppression, and abusive control by others without adequate recourse.
In theory, under Islamic law in Pakistan, the marriage parties must consent to marriage, women must be sixteen years old, and a contract must be drawn, but few women are aware of these rights unless a male relative has informed them.
Theoretically out of wedlock love affairs are unsurprising to Muslims, as the Prophet Mohamed engaged in relations prior to marrying Khadija and Muhammad Ali Jinnah, founder of Pakistan, and his wife Ruttie Petit's love story has been widely chronicled.
In practice, however, even a minor hint of a pre-marital or extra-marital relationship might result in an acid attack or honor killing upon a Muslim women.
For years, Valentine's Day has drawn protests from number of religious organizations claiming celebrations of the day violate Islamic sensibilities and traditions.
As with many public spaces which are morally policed by officials and conservative Muslim youth groups, university couples are asked to produce proof of being married and administration officials have suggested that women be gifted hijabs for modesty.
Elsewhere in the same paper, they note that Saint Valentine was sentenced to death by the Roman authorities because he had been performing marriages, despite a government ban that required soldiers to remain unmarried.
One such group, Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba (IJT) uses literature to socialize its members and ingrain specific religious and socio-political values in them.
The organization views itself as a gatekeeper of Islamic values, acting to shut down unethical or un-Islamic activities and prevent universities from becoming secular and westernized.
This includes preventing couples from commingling or sitting together on Valentine's Day and in 2014 erupted into rioting in Peshawar when rival student groups protested celebrating Valentine's Day.
In a well-publicized case from 2015, activist Sabeen Mahmud, known for staging protests in Karachi in favor of Valentine's Day, was murdered by a student who had been radicalized while attending the Institute of Business Administration.
The court ruling, delivered by Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui, who had previously been an activist in Jamaat-e-Islami as well as a political candidate, barred the media from airing promotions of the celebration on television.
The following year, the court banned any promotion of Valentine's Day in public spaces and extended the media ban to include electronic and print media as well.
The rulings led to moral policing of public and commercial spaces with police targeting balloon and flower vendors, cancelling planned entertainment events, and admonishments from Salafi youth groups urging women to adhere to modest behaviors.
Among activist groups with political intent are the Deoband Madrassah Movement, DMM and Tableegh-e-Jamaat, which were themselves born out of reaction to western colonialism.
Tableegh-e-Jamaat was founded in 1927, as a grassroots movement and offshoot of DMM, aimed at empowering any Muslim to disseminate teaching of the faith, as opposed to learning it in a madrasa.
In Punjab, the DMM gained traction among urban workers and middle class through its literalist interpretation of Islamic scriptures, as taught in its educational curricula which was then widely exported throughout the country.
In present Pakistan, these organisations attempt to control the narrative of what Pakistani culture is and is not and are resistant to change, seeing culture as static, rather than dynamically changing.
Despite claims that the holiday is imposing western values by activists from puritanical groups like Tableegh-e-Jamaat and DMM, the public has found ways to defy the bans by adopting novel alternative ways to celebrate Valentine's Day, by exchanging flowers or celebrating during the week, rather on February 14th.
Urban centers, which initially spurred the growth of such organisations, have also led to the downfall of traditionalism, in large part because of socioeconomic developments and the adoption of more modern lifestyles.
An honour killing is the homicide of a member of a family or social group by other members, due to the belief the victim has brought dishonour upon the family or community.
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan lists 460 cases of reported honour killings in 2017, with 194 males and 376 females as victims.
Although these are most likely only a sample of the actual honour killings that were completed during 2017, it still gives a glimpse into characteristics of honour killings in Pakistan.
Sources disagree as to the exact number by year, but according to Human Rights Watch, NGOs/INGOs in the area estimate that around 1000 honour killings are carried out each year in Pakistan.
The video, along with other behaviors like appearing on news programmes and talk shows to highlight hypocrisy, posting revealing selfies with a religious cleric, and offering to strip for the national cricket team, eventually led her brother to murder.
He claimed he had killed her to save the family honour because her videos had put the family in the media spotlight.
Her murder was highly publicized leading to new Pakistani legislation in October 2016 to close a legal loophole which had allowed perpetrators of such murders to be freed, if their actions were forgiven by the victim's family.
Conservative clerics, like Hafiz Hussain Ahmed, who claimed in 2013 that celebrants of the day were likely to become parents within 9 months, decry the undercutting of traditional values.
Ahmed Qassem al-Ghamdi, a cleric and one-time chief of the religious police of Mecca proclaimed that Valentine's Day was not forbidden, as it was a positive celebration of a natural aspect of humans that had nothing to do with religion.
Othman Battikh, Grand Mufti of Tunisia, also attached little significant harm to the day, instead noting that celebrations which bring people together are positive unless morals are violated.
In spite of overarching official antagonism and overreach against celebration of Valentine's Day, people have found ways to still celebrate love and the holiday has steadily gained popularity.
To avoid pressure from moral policing, balloon sellers have avoided heart-shaped and red balloons, opting to sell star, bird, or animal shapes.
Other celebrants find alternate ways to partake of festivities, such as virtual dates, skyping with partners, or browsing on-line advertisements in search of privately available gifts or events.
Some shopkeepers have taken steps to appear compliant with restrictions on selling red roses, while acknowledging that they had hidden stashes to supply regular, known customers.
Other commercial establishments have shifted their promotions around the holiday to on-line and social media outlets, recommending delivery services to avoid scrutiny.
Friends' Day, Modesty Day (Haya Day), Sister's Day, and Family Day, have been promoted as alternative solutions for countering observations of love on February 14th.

Wang Qi (; born February 1943) is a Chinese andrologist who is a professor and doctoral supervisor at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.
His administration (1940-1944) has been traditionally controversial, during his tenure the University of Costa Rica was created, the border problem with Panama was solved through the Echandi-Fernández treaty and in alliance with the Catholic Church and the Costa Rican Communist Party, the Labor Code and the Social Guarantees were promulgated.
However accusations of authoritarianism, voters' fraud, corruption and persecution of political opponets and ethnic minotories (particularly Germans, Italians and Japanese after the Pearl Harbor attacks with Costa Rican joning World War II as part of the Allies) stained Calderon's rule.
Calderón directly from 1940 to 1944, his chosen candidate, Teodoro Picado Michalski won the 1944 Costa Rican general election as part of a Republican-Communist coalition named Victory Bloc and in the middle of increasing political tensions.
The National Electoral Court provisionally declared the opposition candidate Otilio Ulate Blanco provisionally elected, but Calderón Guardia filed a fraud and presented to Congress a nullity of the presidential elections, although not of the legislative ones, in which his supporters had obtained a majority.
This caused a civil war, in which the government forces were defeated militarily by those of rebel caudillo José Figueres Ferrer.
Calderón went into exile in Nicaragua, and in December 1948 he invaded Costa Rica with support from the government of Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza García, but the expedition - known as the counterrevolution - failed.
Calderón moved with his family to Mexico, and in 1955 he undertook a second invasion of Costa Rica, with the support of Somoza García, Rafael Leónidas Trujillo and Marcos Pérez Jiménez, but his forces were defeated.
With the Republicans and Communist outlawed the Constituent Assembly of Costa Rica was convened in 1949 enabling the current Costa Rican Constitution.
Figueres (who rule de facto for 18 months before giving power to Ulate in 1949) was a formal candidate by the newly formed National Liberation Party winning the 1953 Costa Rican general election.
In 1958 opposition leader Mario Echandi promise to bring back Calderón and family from exile and sign a general amnesty if elected and received the vote in bloc of the Calderonistas.
He was a presidential candidate again in 1962, and despite his defeat, until his death he continued to be a very influential political figure.
In the 1978 election, Rodrigo Carazo Odio was elected president with the support of Calderonism under the banner of a coalition of parties called Unity Coalition, formed by the Calderonist Republican Party, the Christian Democratic Party, the Democratic Renewal Party and the Popular Union Party.
But by 1981 when the struggles for the election of the candidate for the 1982 elections begin, problems arise between the candidate Rafael Ángel Calderón Fournier of the Calderonista Republican Party and Rodolfo Méndez Mata, mostly represented by the Democratic Renewal Party.
In these circumstances of struggle of tendencies the Calderonista Republican, Popular Union and Christian Democratic parties decided to go alone to the election and changed the flag of the coalition for another with the colors red and blue (the modern colors of PUSC).
The results support is 34% of the votes but remains as secong most voted force, considered a success given the circumstances.
In April 1983 the Political Directory of the coalition adopted a calendar and it was immediately agreed that the Popular Union Party would serve as the receiver of the other three, changing its name to that of Social Christian Unity Party.
The National Assemblies of each party participating in said coalition had to agree, in advance, its dissolution to immediately give way to the merger.
On December 17, 1983, at the last session of the National Assemblies of the parties that formed the Unity Coalition, they agreed to dissolve and merge into one.
Rafael Ángel Calderón Fournier and Óscar Aguilar Bulgarelli register as pre-candidates, however, at the beginning of the campaign, Bulgarelli drops the race.
With only one pre-candidate left, the convention is suspended and on December 2, 1984, Rafael Ángel Calderón Fournier was elected as presidential candidate.
On February 2, 1986 the electoral result favored the rival National Liberation Party's nominee, Oscar Arias Sánchez by a difference of 6.5%, however PUSC managed to elect 25 deputies while its presidential candidate had received 45.8% of the valid votes makign clear the existence of a two-party system.
Due to the defeats suffered in the previous elections, in 1982 and 1986, Calderón Fournier had retired from an eventual candidacy, and supported Rodriguez.
Meanwhile, there had been clashes between Rodriguez and Calderón for the list of candidates for deputies, which causes many leaders to begin to support Calderón's candidacy.
Shortly after a movement is generated, which starts mainly from the PUSC deputies, to formally request Rafael Ángel Calderón Fournier to be a candidate for the presidency again.
After two consecutive periods of the PLN in power, and demonstrated the strength of the PUSC in the 1986 elections, the prospects for winning the elections in 1990 were very favorable.
In the elections of February 4, 1990, Calderón was elected president with 46.2% of the votes over his liberationist opponent Carlos Manuel Castillo.
Not only the presidency was reached but also the majority in the Legislative Assembly and a victory in the seven provinces of the country.
Thus, the party consolidated in the 90s, for the 1994 election Miguel Ángel Rodríguez is launched as a presidential candidate unopposed, which he loses to PLN's candidate by a small margin of 1.8%.
Despite this the figure of Dr. Abel Pacheco de la Espriella emerges, who with the charisma he had won for several years working on television, and due to his position as deputy of the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica, is named presidential candidate for the 2002 election winning the election and making PUSC won for the first time twice in a road.
Shaken by corruption scandals, The scandals even caused Calderón and Rodríguez to be arrested, prosecuted and in Calderón's case condemned, the unpopularity of the Pacheco administration and the surgence of the new Citizens' Action Party the party suffered a terrible debacle and its candidate in 2006, Ricardo Toledo Carranza, obtained only 3% of the votes.
After Calderón's conviction for corruption on October 5, 2009, he withdrew his presidential candidacy being replaced by the then deputy of the party Luis Fishman Zonzinski, who obtained a low electoral support, again, of 3%.
The candidate endorsed by the Calderonism for the primary elections of the 2013 Social Christian Unity Party, Dr. Rodolfo Hernández Gómez, won the national convention with 77% of the votes over the liberal rival Rodolfo Piza.
However, Hernández would resign his candidacy despite strong support in the polls following major disagreements with the party leadership, and the candidacy would be assumed by Piza.
In 2015 Calderón and his followers left the party and founded a new one called Social Christian Republican Party (an allusion to Calderón's father historical party).
Nevertheless, PUSC saw a victory in the 2016 municipal election gaining second place in municipal votes surpassing ruling PAC and receiving much more votes than Calderón's new party.
PUSC obtained 15 mayors (second in number after PLN) and saw an increase in its electoral support, unlike PLN that although the more voted party did saw a decrease in support.
In 2018 Piza both Piza and Hernández were nominees but from different parties; Piza from PUSC and Hernández from PRSC attaining fourth and sixth place respectively and supporting opposite candidates in the second round.
Piza would support PAC's candidate Carlos Alvarado Quesada who won the election on second round and would take the office of Prime Minister during Alvarado's first year of tenure.

Anterior teeth are one of the most scrutinized teeth, the size and shape and color of the anterior upper teeth plays an important role in dental aesthetics and smile aesthetics.
Clinical studies have found that 60 to 80% of all Class III and V composite resin restorations remain acceptable after 5 years of  clinical service.
It is generally accepted that Class IV restorations do not last as long as Class III and Class V. One study compared four different anterior composite restoration types over 5 years.
Operators should have detailed anatomical knowledge and artistic skill , for example, optimal properties of natural teeth, tooth proportions and their relationships to each other and to the surrounding soft tissues.
Veneers with direct resins are one of the common treatment options for clinical applications following the developments in adhesive and restorative dentistry in recent years.
These restorations are applied on prepared tooth surfaces or even without any preparation, with an adhesive agent and a composite resin material directly in a single visit in the dental clinic.
If done properly, the aesthetic outcomes of direct composite veneers are very satisfactory in addition to superior optical and physical properties.
In recent history these restorations were thought to be temporary alternatives to indirect ceramic veneers; however, they are no longer named 'day savior fillings' today.
These restorations are called minimally invasive, functional and long-lasting 'direct aesthetic restorations' that perfectly emulate natural dental tissues even in anterior area.
3,4 Discolorations of teeth or restorations, dental malformations or mal-positions, diastemas, crown fractures and abrasive or erosive defects are some examples of up-to-date indications of direct composite veneers.
5 Direct composite veneer restorations where the whole labial surface is covered with resin, are good treatment options in such cases.,6 The conventional workflow sequence of a direct composite veneer is 1) Determine if composite veneers is the best option for the patient.
Advantage of composite veneers is it takes much less time compared to a lab-fabricated veneer, it only takes one treatment for the preparation and veneer buildup.
Composite button samples of different shades are placed on teeth and a dental photography taken 3)impression and cast taken, wax up done on teeth, a silicone index guidance is fabricated 4)rubber dam as isolation 5)preparation is done by drilling of a thin layer of tooth structure.
An arbitrary number for the spacing between the teeth to consider as midline diastema is a width of 0.5 from a proximal surface of a teeth to the proximal surface of adjacent teeth.
The cause of this spacing includes but not limited to microdontia, labial frenulum, peg-shaped lateral incisors, mesiodens, cysts in midlene region, tongue trusting, finger sucking, dental malformations, maxillary incisor proclination, genetics, imperfect joining of interdental septum, dental skeletal discrepancies.
The technical factors affecting the course of treatment of the closing of midline diastema includes the size of the existing central incisors, the amount of reduction necessary, the morphology of existing tooth, and the subsequent possibility of a veneer or crown treatment needs to be taken into account, the patient factors affecting the course of treatment includes economic, psychological and time factors of the patient.
With a successful diastema closure, the normal arrangement of teeth can be established Continuous improvement in material science and methodology enables the aesthetics of composite restoration to be of a high standard and realistic in terms of aesthetic, physical and mechanical properties.
The conventional workflow sequence for a diastema closure is 1)Shade selection was done for dentin shade and enamel shade.Composite button samples of different shades are placed on teeth and a dental photography taken to verify 2)Rubber dam isolation 3)Placing a retraction cord.
Light polymerize the bonding agent 5)Layer dentin layer, followed by enamel shade 6)finishing with white stone bur, taking care to follow the natural anatomy 7)polishing with interdental strip and polishing disk with grains of increasing fineness, finally with a composite polishing paste.

The Siege of Breda took place from 21 to 27 February 1793 in the course of the Flanders Campaign during the War of the First Coalition .
After the French Revolutionary Armée du Nord commanded by general Charles-François Dumouriez unexpectedly inflicted a devastating defeat on the Austrians at the Battle of Jemappes (6 November 1792), it was able to occupy the Austrian Netherlands almost without any further resistance and attempt an invasion of the weakened Dutch Republic.
Breda was an important fortress in Staats-Brabant; moreover, the Barony of Breda was a centuries-old personal possession of the House of Orange-Nassau, and thus had a symbolic significance for the radical republicans in Paris.
The Armée du Nord crossed the border on 16 February, and already began planting liberty trees in villages near Breda two days later.
A first skirmish took place on 21 February, after which the French, with 3,800 men under the command of François Joseph Westermann, closed all access roads to the city and started constructing the siege works.
On 23 February, the artillery batteries were in place and the beleaguers began to bombard Breda with four mortars and four howitzers.
During a ceasefire, Colonel Philippe Devaux de Vautray ordered the city to surrender, but this demand was rejected, leading the attackers to resume the bombardment.
The next morning, between 3 and 6 o'clock, the French fired the last of their ammunition, although the defenders did not know this.
90 bombs and 100 grenades had been launched over the walls, destroying approximately 60 houses and three times causing fires that were soon extinguished.
However, when colonel Devaux again demanded the city to surrender in the early morning of 24 February, using threatening words, it was accepted under the condition that the Dutch States Army garrison would be granted a withdrawal with full military honours.
However, when Dumouriez suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Neerwinden (18 March 1793), commander Flers prepared the city's defences.
On 29 March, a States officer ordered the fortress to capitulate in the name of the Prince of Orange, while Dumouriez sent Flers a letter ordering him to evacuate Breda.
In September 1794, the French returned and there were several skirmishes in the environs of Breda, leading people to fear a new siege.
This would not happen, however: the French besieged 's-Hertogenbosch, Grave and Nijmegen, crossed the frozen rivers, advanced through the Bommelerwaard and occupied Utrecht and Amsterdam in January 1795.
While the stadtholder and his family and entourage fled to England, the Batavian Revolution in Amsterdam occurred and the Batavian Republic was proclaimed on 18 January.

The website is operated by Tencent (Thailand) Co., Ltd., previously known as Mweb (Thailand) from 1998 to 2007, and Sanook Online until 2016, when it was renamed to reflect its acquisition by China-based parent Tencent.
Back then, the Thai world wide web was still in its infancy, and Sanook, which started as a web directory, developed into the country's first major web portal and quickly became one of its top visited sites.
Poramate experimented and added features according to social trends; one example was its collection of suggestions for cute and funny pager messages.
In May 1999, Sanook was acquired by South Africa–based Naspers—which was creating a portfolio of global web properties as was the trend during the dot-com boom—through its subsidiary MIH, for an undisclosed sum, speculated to be in the range of multiple tens of millions of baht.
Mweb also launched another web portal, Mweb.co.th, with the aim of developing it as an international brand serving the region—at the expense of Sanook, a move contested by Poramate.
Shortly after, however, the bursting of the dot-com bubble forced MIH to scale down its operations, leaving Mweb (Thailand) in the hand of Thai executives.
Poramate left after the term of his contract ended, and later went on to establish Kapook.com, which would become one of Sanook's main competitors.
In 2006, MIH offloaded its holdings in the cable television operator UBC and the internet service provider KSC to True Corporation, leaving the web properties as Mweb's only remaining operations in Thailand.
By then, Mweb.co.th had failed to establish itself and was discontinued, in favour of consolidating the company's web properties under the Sanook.com domain.
In October 2010, China-based internet giant Tencent (which is also partly owned by Sanook's parent Naspers) acquired a 49.92 percent stake in Sanook Online for 81.7 million Hong Kong dollars (US$10.52M).
Thai analysts noted that this was a low figure for the country's most popular website, probably due partly to its amount of accumulated deficit, at 1,325 million baht (US$41M).
Sanook.com has been ranked by web traffic analyzer Truehits as the top visited Thai website for every consecutive year since 2003 (when rankings were first announced), except in 2013 when it was overtaken by Kapook.com.

Renton moved to Kenya after holidaying there in 2000 and is credited with playing a major role in the transformation of the country’s television.
Disillusioned by the poor quality of television journalism available and the restrictions on it, Renton obtained funding from the Ford Foundation to set up a non-governmental organisation, Media Development in Africa (MEDEVA), in Nairobi.
On one occasion an unrelated power cut led to student demonstrations in the streets in the belief that the government had taken the programme off air.
In 2009 she produced a series of films for the Department for International Development with her brother, journalist Alex Renton, dealing with issues affecting East Africa.
At the time of her death in 2010 she was slated to work with the BBC's Comic Relief on a series of films about poverty in the slums of Kibera.
The couple had a daughter, Rosita, and a son, Tristan, and settled at Ulu, where they helped set up a conservation area, a ranger service and a health clinic.
On 28 May 2010 she and her four-year-old daughter, Rosita (‘Sita’) Fenwick-Wilson, were killed in a road accident as she drove to interview nurses at a remote medical clinic in Kenya.
The Rosita Trust was set up in 2011 in memory of Renton and her daughter, Rosita, principally to carry on the running of MEDEVA, which continued to train journalists in Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda as well as Kenya for several years.

In addition to the and the , the ancient Cantabrian people and the rest of the people who reached the northern coast by boat knew another way of communicating with the fertile Castilian Plateau.
This route starts at the seaport of San Vicente de la Barquera and crosses the Piedrasluengas pass, entering the Valdavia valley parallel to its Valdavia River until it joins the Besaya route at the alto de la Esperina near Carrión de los Condes.
This is due to the fact that the aforementioned valley is the shortest and most accessible route from Carrión to the sea through the Piedrasluengas pass, which has allowed the movement of people and goods from Castile to the Cantabrian Sea since secular times.
Thus, in a 1230 landing of the Monastery of San Zoilo in Carrión de los Condes about their possessions in Villasarracino, the race to Villaeles is already being talked about.
Among these he details the one that goes from Toledo to San Vicente de la Barquera, of 80 leagues, where we see that after passing through lands abulenses and vallisoletanas, it arrives to Palencia, It continues through Becerril de Campos and Torre de los Molinos to Carrión and from there it goes to Bahillo, Villabasta, Polvorosa, La Puebla and Cervera, and from here it reached San Vicente through Tudanca.
In 1746, this royal road is represented in detail as it passes through the town of Bárcena de Campos as a result of a lawsuit between the Council of Castrillo de Villavega and the Council of Bárcena over the jurisdiction of the territory in which the chapel of Nuestra Señora de Esperina was located.
Here we can see how the Camino Real de la Valdavia passes at the foot of the aforementioned chapel, projecting towards two uninhabited areas of the current Villanuño de Valdavia called Villán de Suso and Villán de Yuso.
Still in the map of the Army of 1929, there was the reference of the Camino Real de la Valdavia leaving from Villasarracino towards North.
Even today at the exit of Villaeles, towards Congosto, there is a road called Camino Real, which becomes Calle Real as it passes through both La Puebla and Congosto.
However, if we talk about the Jacobean route that makes use of it and links San Vicente de la Barquera with Carrión, we can trace the following route.
From north to south the route would start from the seaport of San Vicente in the direction of either Potes by the Hermida Gorge, which is known as the Liébana route, or by the route of the old Roman road, known as Via II2, which going up by the Nansa would reach Tudanca.
Both routes would converge in the ascent on its north side to the Piedraslenguas pass, from where it would go into La Pernía Palencia, passing through San Cebrián de Mudá and arriving at Cervera de Pisuerga.
At this point it would go along the left bank of the river Valdavia for what is still known as the royal road (to the point that the main streets of Congosto and La Puebla receive the significant name of Calle Real).
This route takes advantage of the route of the old Via III which went up the left bank of the Valdavia and which linked Clunia, Castrojeriz, Potes, reaching the sea.
Arriving at Buenavista, it would continue through Polvorosa de Valdavia where the Church of Santiago is located, Renedo de Valdavia, Arenillas de San Pelayo with its magnificent Monastery Premostratense and Villaeles with its church of San Martín de Tours, a French saint of marked Jacobean tradition.
In Villaeles he would cross the river to Villabasta where the Chapel of the Virgin of the Way was located, now disappeared, but whose image is still venerated in its parish to continue towards Villamelendro.
There it would join the route of the Besaya, which would explain the said foundation being a strategic communications knot, in the direction of Itero Seco, Bahillo and finally Carrión de los Condes where it would connect in turn with the French route.
Like the two other routes mentioned, this route offers a remarkable variety of landscapes and culture as it is the link between the ports of the Cantabrian Sea and the Castilian Plateau.
This route is the shortest way for those pilgrims who will pass to worship the Lignum Crucis to continue towards Santiago de Compostela by the French Way.

Usilampatti railway station was inaugurated together with the Madurai–Bodinayakkanur 90 km branch line in as metre gauge railway by the Madras Provincial revenue member Norman Marjoribanks.
As part of the Project Unigauge, Madurai–Bodinayakkanur line was sanctioned for gauge conversion, from metre gauge () to broad gauge ().
It was closed on 1 of January 2011, expecting to reopen it by 2012, but due to lack of funds, the project advanced at very slow pace.
Finally, on 23 of January 2020, the first stretch between and Usilampatti (37 km) was inaugurated, after passing the inspection of the Commission of Railway Safety.
According to the Madurai Member of the Parliament, S. Venkatesan, the train will run to Usilampatti by the end of February 2020, and by April, up to the terminus at , when is expected to complete the gauge conversion works on the branch line.
Its origins are older but the present building was constructed for Robert William Newman, an Exeter merchant, in 1827-1833 by Anthony Salvin.
It was subsequently owned by the Carew and Balle families, and then the Earls of Lisburne until it was bought by Robert Newman in 1823.
Newman was the senior partner in Newman & Co., a trading company based in Exeter that had established a small shipping fleet to support its trade with Portugal and Newfoundland.
The original mansion house of the Balle's had been demolished in the late 18th century and shortly after purchasing the estate, Newman commissioned Charles Fowler to design a new house.
Fowler's Italianate plans did not find favour and Fowler had got not further than constructing the footings before he was replaced by Anthony Salvin.
His designs for the house were in the Tudor Revival style, then a relatively new architectural approach, and incorporated the initials of Newman and his new wife, together with the Newman family motto in the decorative skyline above the main entrance.
The Newman family retained ownership of the estate until the 1950s when Sir Ralph Newman, Robert Newman's great-grandson, sold it to an evangelical society.
It subsequently housed a school, Dawlish College, in the 1980s, and was the regional headquarters of the Forestry Commission in the 1990s.
In the early 21st century the house, again privately owned, operated as an events and wedding venue, hosting the marriage of Peter Andre in 2015.
As of 2020 the house, with an estate of approximately 150 acres, is for sale, at a guide price of £10,000,000.
This gallery housed a collection of statues depicting English monarchs and worthies of the Tudor era, an unusual feature for the decoration of an English country house.
Pevsner suggests they were influenced by the decorative schemes for the Houses of Parliament being planned at the same time, of which Sir Robert would have been aware, having been elected M.P.
The triple oriel window on the (east) garden front was copied from one on the entrance front of the genuinely-Tudor Hengrave Hall in Suffolk.
Simon Jenkins notes that the staircase in the gallery is recorded as being based on the external stair designed by James Wyatt for Canterbury Quadrangle at Christ Church, Oxford.
The interior of the house contains stained glass by Thomas Willement and was decorated with an exceptionally high standard of craftsmanship.
The mock castle to the north of the house, containing the stable block, the brewery and the laundry, is listed Grade II*.
Pevsner suggests that the castle is modelled on Belsay Castle in Northumberland, a building Salvin knew, having grown up in the North East.
The writer Christopher Hussey suggests that the orangery was modelled on the water house at Chatsworth and may originally have had a similar cascade.

Alphons Louis Eugene Timmerman (1904 – 7 July 1942) (assigned the codename Scruffy by the British) was a Belgian ship's steward who became a spy for the German intelligence agency, the Abwehr, during the Second World War.
MI5 officers posed as Timmerman in correspondence with the Abwehr in an attempt to deceive them as to the competence of the British security services.
This attempt was unsuccessful as German intelligence officers failed to spot deliberate mistakes in the letters, but did help to disprove the Abwehr's previously good reputation for intelligence work.
He became a ship's steward and in that role visited many British ports in the inter-war years and developed a good knowledge of the English language.
He made his way to Scotland, arriving at Rothesay Dock in Glasgow on 1 September 1941 where he claimed asylum as a refugee.
The British security services had been warned via an Ultra decryption of a coded German message that a Belgian seaman was en route to the UK as a spy to make detailed reports on allied shipping.
He was also found to be carrying a recipe for the manufacture of invisible ink and an envelope containing crystals which, upon being added to water, would make the substance.
MI5 took advantage of Timmerman's arrest to attempt to deceive the German intelligence service Abwehr as to the abilities of MI5.
The messages contained deliberate errors which MI5 hoped would be easily detected by the Abwehr and project an image of MI5 as an amateur and incompetent organisation.
The British deduced from this that the Abwehr did not deserve its reputation as a sophisticated and ruthless service and ended the communications.
MI5 had no further use for Timmerman and to prove to the Abwehr that he had never been at liberty to communicate with them he was sent for trial at the Old Bailey.
He was found guilty of treason (Belgium being a British ally) and executed at Wandsworth Prison on 7 July 1942 by hanging.
The execution was carried out the same day as that of José Estelle Key, a British citizen and Gibraltar resident convicted of spying for Germany and the pair were two of 16 spies executed by Britain during the war.
The executions of Key and Timmerman were carried out by Albert Pierrepoint, assisted by Harry Kirk, Henry William Critchell and Stephen Wade.
Timmerman, a slight man, required a drop of , longer than usual, to ensure his neck was broken by the fall.
Omar Nuño (born 27 June 1994) is a Mexican footballer who plays as a forward for California United Strikers in the NISA.
He served briefly in the last session of the pre-Union Irish Parliament as member for Philipstown, and was made a judge of the Common Pleas in 1801, shortly after the Union took effect.

He was a member of the popular drinking club, The Monks of the Screw (or Order of Saint Patrick), founded by John Philpot Curran.
These attacked the Irish executive with great venom, and were extremely well-informed about the Irish judiciary, suggesting that the author was himself a judge.
However in a personal interview with William Downes, 1st Baron Downes, the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, Fox was able to convince Downes of his innocence.
Further inquiries revealed Johnson to be the author; he may have fallen under suspicion because many years earlier he had published a similar attack on a long-serving High Court judge, Christopher Robinson, under another pseudonym.
He pleaded for leniency, but the authorities took a severe view of the matter, and a warrant was issued for his arrest to stand trial in England for seditious libel.
Downes, a very stern man, told Johnson that his attempt to evade justice was as serious a matter as the libel itself.
In 1893, at the age of 18, he immigrated to Minnesota, and a few years later he moved to the area that would become Troy, where several friends from Sweden had settled.

When the two men had been banned from seeing each other by Curio's father, Curio had smuggled Mark Anthony in through his father's roof.
Cicero refused to believe in the existence of the plot and dismissed the whole episode as an attempt by Caesar to cast suspicion on young Curio and several other senatores.
Curio built Rome's first permanent amphitheatre, in his father's memory and celebrated funeral games there with seating built on a pivot that could move the entire audience.
He began in politics as a supporter of Clodius, but shortly after came out as a Conservative in fierce opposition to Caesar.
Known universally as unpredictable, by standing for the Tribuneship in 51 he placed himself (as Cicero told him) in a pivotal position at the Republic's crisis point, when at the end of 51 BC Curio got himself elected as a tribune of the Plebs for 50 BC.
On 1 January of 49 BC Mark Antony entered office as one of the tribunes of the Plebs, he took over from Curio, he summoned a meeting of the Senate and read out Caesar's letter.
On the tenth of January the Civil War between Caesar and his opponents started when Caesar crossed the Rubicon and invaded Italy proper.
The cities and communities of northern Italy quickly fell or surrendered to Caesar and he ordered the recruitment of additional soldiers.
Caesar made Curio a praetor and sent him with four legions and a 1,000 Gallic cavalry to Sicily and Africa to take possession of both provinces and secure the grain supply.
After receiving word that Caesar had defeated the Pompeians in Spain he embarked with two of his legions and half the cavalry and sailed to Africa.
Although he won the Battle of Utica (49 BC), he was eventually defeated by Juba at the Second Battle of the Bagradas River and fought to his death, along with his army, rather than attempting to flee to his camp.
After Osthoff had taken part in the First World War from 1915 to 1918, he studied musicology, history of art and philosophy from 1919, first at Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in Münster and from 1920 at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
After further musical training in composition with Wilhelm Klatte, piano with James Kwast and conducting with Gustav Brecher, which he completed both privately and at the Berlin Stern Conservatory, he was initially répétiteur at the Leipzig Opera from 1923 to 1926 under General Music Director Gustav Brecher.
In 1926 Osthoff was appointed assistant to Arnold Schering at the Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg and followed him in 1928 as his senior assistant at the Department of Music History of the Berlin University.
At the end of 1937 he was appointed to the Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main, first as a substitute, from 1938 as a civil servant extraordinary professor, director of the musicological institute and university music director.
He was also a member of the National Socialist People's Welfare Organization, the Reichsluftschutzbund and the National Socialist German Lecturers League and was deputy head of the foreign office of the Nationalsozialistischer Deutscher Studentenbund.
Osthoff had close contacts with Herbert Gerigk, the head of the main music department at the Beauftragter des Führers für die Überwachung der gesamten geistigen und weltanschaulichen Schulung und Erziehung der NSDAP, Alfred Rosenberg.
As late as mid-1939, Gerigk envisaged him, along with Friedrich Blume, Wolfgang Boetticher, Werner Danckert, Rudolf Gerber, Erich Schenk, Erich Schumann and Rudolf Sonner, as co-author of an extensive music encyclopaedia as part of the planned Advanced School of the NSDAP.
However, this project broke down with the beginning of World War II, in which Osthoff participated in the Battle of France as a lieutenant (reserve officer) of the Wehrmacht until 1940.
After the occupation of Belgium, Osthoff was stationed in Brussels and received a letter from Gerigk on 13 July 1940 in which he inquired about the state of the Brussels music collections and whether the manuscript departments had remained intact.
In the winter semester of 1940/41 Osthoff resumed his teaching activities at Frankfurt University, but remained a staff member in the main music department of the Fuehrer's commissioner for the supervision of the entire intellectual and ideological training and education of the NSDAP.
After the end of the war and the conclusion of the denazification proceedings, Osthoff was able to resume teaching at the musicological seminar in Frankfurt am Main in 1948.
Osthoff's research on Franco-Flemish music of the 15th and 16th centuries resulted in numerous individual studies and the two-volume monograph on Josquin des Prez, which according to his biographer Wolfgang Osthoff is still considered a standard work and is only outdated in details.
The ship was the first to be constructed for Morocco by Chantiers de l'Atlantique at Saint-Nazaire, France from 1999 to 2001.
The s were designed in response to a demand for a cheap warship capable of operating in low threat areas and able to perform general patrol functions.
The frigate is powered by a combined diesel and diesel (CODAD) system comprising four SEMT Pielstick 6 PA6 L280 BPC diesel engines driving two shafts each turning a LIPS controllable pitch propeller.
Both diesel fuel and TR5 aviation fuel is brought aboard at a single location at the stern compared to naval-constructed vessels which sport two.
The ship is equipped with two Decca Bridgemaster radars, one for use as navigational radar, the other for helicopter control, Thomsen-CSF ARBR 17 radar intercept electronic surveillance systems and two Dagaie decoy systems.
The vessel's keel was laid down in June 1999 and was built using modular construction methods which reduced the vessel's construction time.
In March 2019, the ship participated in the international joint naval exercise Obangame Express 2019 that took place in the maritime area between Ivory Coast and Nigeria.

The Office of the National Water Resources (Abrv: ONWR; , ) is Thailand's command centre for management of the nation's water resources.
On 25 October 2017, NCPO leader Prayut Chan-o-cha used the extraordinary powers granted him by Section 44 of the interim constitution to issue Order Number 46/2017 to establish the Office of the National Water Resources under the Office of the Prime Minister, reporting directly to the prime minister.
Initially, nearly 200 employees were seconded to the ONWR from the Royal Irrigation Department (RID), Agriculture Ministry, and the Department of Water Resources (DWR) from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment in order to begin work immediately.
After the 2011 Thailand floods, the Yingluck administration made an effort to consolidate water management in the hands of one body.
Japanese consultant Tsuruyo Funatsu had found that seven ministries and 15 agencies had a hand in water management prior to the 2011 floods, all protecting their turf and often working at cross purposes.
ONWR's task is to get them all playing together as a team like the coordinated football team depicted in an ONWR-produced video that stars the ONWR Director-General as the coach of the newly transformed team.

The ship was the first to be constructed for Morocco by Chantiers de l'Atlantique at Saint-Nazaire, France from 1999 to 2002.
The s were designed in response to a demand for a cheap warship capable of operating in low threat areas and able to perform general patrol functions.
The frigate is powered by a combined diesel and diesel (CODAD) system comprising four SEMT Pielstick 6 PA6 L280 BPC diesel engines driving two shafts each turning a LIPS controllable pitch propeller.
Both diesel fuel and TR5 aviation fuel is brought aboard at a single location at the stern compared to naval-constructed vessels which sport two.
The ship is equipped with two Decca Bridgemaster radars, one for use as navigational radar, the other for helicopter control, Thomsen-CSF ARBR 17 radar intercept electronic surveillance systems and two Dagaie decoy systems.
The vessel's keel was laid down in December 1999 and was built using modular construction methods which reduced the ship's construction time.
In 2018, the ship took part in the international joint naval exercise Neptune Trident, operating alongside the Royal Canadian Navy in the Gulf of Guinea.
Trenitalia Tper (TTX) is a company operating train services in the Emilia-Romagna region, in Italy, on railway lines overseen by both Rete Ferroviaria Italiana and Ferrovie Emilia Romagna (FER).
The current company was born on 1 January 2020 from the merger of the railway transport division of TPER, which at that time operated railway transportation services on the network operated by FER, and the division of Trenitalia operating local railway transportation services in Emilia-Romagna, on the network operated by RFI.
PenAir Flight 3296 was a domestic scheduled flight from Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, in Anchorage, Alaska, to Unalaska Airport, on Amaknak Island off the coast of Alaska.
On the day of the accident the aircraft had departed from Anchorage at 15:15 AST and was due to land at Unalaska 2 hours and 15 minutes later.
While the flight was descending towards Unalaska they were cleared for the RNAV approach into runway 13, a meter long runway.
But as the aircraft became closer to the airport, the wind changed from 210 degrees at 8 knots to 180 degrees at 7 knots.
Due to the aircraft being unstabilised during the approach, a go-around was executed, leading to the flight returning for another, this time, visual approach into runway 13.
As an overrun was imminent, the pilots steered the aircraft right to avoid going into the water past the runway end.
Attempts to stop on the paved runway surface failed and the aircraft crossed a section of grass, broke through a chain perimeter fence, crossed a ditch, hit a large rock and crossed a public roadway.
On the day of the accident, the NTSB (National Transport Safety Board), launched an investigation which as of January 2020 is still ongoing.
On 3 January 2020 in Villejuif, a man killed one person and wounded two other people with a knife before being shot dead by police.
In Villejuif two terror attacks occurred in 2015, including the beginning of the Amedy Coulibaly killing spree and the murder of a civilian and attempted bombing of a church by Sid Ahmed Ghlam.
They shot him once; as he got up while putting his hand in his pocket he was shot again with an assault rifle because it was suspected that he was wearing an explosive belt.
The attacker, who converted to Islam in mid 2017, was identified as Nathan Chiasson, a white male born in 1997 in Les Lilas, who suffered from psychiatric disorders.
Chiasson's partner, Marie M., also a convert to Islam, was arrested at her home in Palaiseau on 7 January for links to militants groups.
At the time of the arrest she had a knife on her hand and expressed her desire to commit suicide by cop.
An investigation is attempting find other Islamists allied with Chiasson and his wife, and to establish if they formed a terrorist cell.

While early voting began in Minnesota on January 17, the first results from the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries will become known with the Iowa caucuses on February 3, 2020.
Delegates may either be (1) elected at local or state conventions, (2) from slates submitted by the candidates, (3) selected by the state chairman or (4) at committee meetings or (5) elected directly at the caucuses and primaries.
The table below shows those current candidates that have either: (a) served as vice president, a member of the cabinet, a U.S. senator, a U.S. representative, or a governor, (b) been included in a minimum of five independent national polls, or (c) received substantial media coverage.
The class was 20 m long, had a draught of less than 2 m, two masts and mounted four 30-pounder cannon and a mortar.
Meanwhile a lot schooners, schoonerbrigs and small paddle steamers in the Dutch East Indies were expected to become unfit in a few years.
When the United Kingdom sent some gunvessels to China, the Dutch got an idea to solve the high demand for steam gunvessels.
For service in home waters they would not have to be loaded so heavily, and would therefore have a shallower draught required for coastal and river defense.
Shortly after the approval of 27 February 1858 the navy decided to lengthen the ship by resolution of 26 April 1858.
The designers therefore thought it feasible to build ships with the same battery as the Vesuvius-class sloops, but with less draught, and much smaller.

Maggie Bird (13 July 1949 – 17 July 2009) was an archivist and lecturer for the Metropolitan Police and curator of the Metropolitan Police Historic Collection.
As curator of the Metropolitan Police Historic Collection, Maggie transformed what had become a disorganised hoard into a well structured and well ordered collection.
Maggie worked hard to secure greater public access to the Metropolitan Police archives and her efforts culminated in the first public exhibition being opened by the Commissioner at the Police's Empress State Building in Brompton in 2009.
Maggie was notable for her extensive knowledge of the Metropolitan Police archives and was frequently a source of information to those researching the Jack the Ripper murders.
Margaret Edwards Bird was born on the 13th July 1949 in Barry in The Vale of Glamorgan, the only child of Peggy and Emrys.
Emrys' job as a mental health nurse kept the family moving about and as a child Maggie lived in Malvern in Worcestershire, Fareham in Hampshire and Stockport in Cheshire.
On 24 January 1966 she became a member of the Stockport Borough Police Force and began a life-long association with policing.
Maggie had married a fellow police officer, Roger Barker, they later divorced and Maggie moved from Stockport to London where she worked in the office of St. Bartholomew's Hospital Nurses Home.
Whilst waiting outside a pub to escort home an inebriated room-mate, Maggie met John Bird, who was due to go to Australia to get married, but as a result of meeting Maggie he went to tell his fiancé that his plans had changed, promising Maggie that he would return to marry her.
She moved in 1993 to the archives branch forging connections right across the organisation and beginning her interest in, and notable appetite for, police history.
Maggie's approach to her work combined a passion for police history and heritage, with friendliness and a sense of humour, especially for the absurd: colleagues who consulted her could find themselves conducting further telephone discussions in the style of characters from the radio series Round The Horne.
Maggie's vast knowledge of the subject, her dedication to the work and the high regard with which she was held within and outside the Metropolitan Police, led to her appointment in 2005 as the curator of the Metropolitan Police Historic Collection, a post she called ‘The best job in the world’.
The job also could be something of an ordeal, on one occasion sorting through the stores Maggie discovered 100 old crates containing 1,500 redundant police truncheons, which Maggie had to contextualise.
Maggie became the public face of the Police archives, not only for the on-going interest in the case of Jack The Ripper, she also appeared on television in the series Who Do You Think You Are in which she had to explain to actor Jeremy Irons that his policeman ancestor was a bit of a black sheep.
She was also vice chairman of the Metropolitan Police History Society, assisting the chairman in efforts to broaden the Society and increase the membership.
Maggie's charm and character were apparent even if she just turned up at training sessions to make the tea, John found that the trainees rarely remembered what he had taught them, but they all remembered Maggie.
Maggie was also a long-term member of the Cliff Richard Fan Club, and through her lectures, she playfully promoted an interesting theory that Jack the Ripper was a woman.
She represented England in the road race and the points and sprint races on the track, at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The van de Velde maps of Palestine and Jerusalem was an important scientific mapping of the region of Palestine and mapping of Jerusalem, published in 1858 by Dutch cartographer Charles William Meredith van de Velde.
The surveys were carried out by Van de Velde during his 1851 visit to Palestine, where he carried out various surveys, drawings, paintings and around one hundred watercolours for postcards.
Van de Velde met Titus Tobler in Switzerland in 1855, where they agreed to make a new map of Jerusalem based on combining Tobler's own measurements with the flawed Royal Engineers map of 1840–41.
Van de Velde carried out the work alone with a 7-inch surveyor’s compass, without theodolites (which required multiple people to operate) and without making astronomical observations (which required significant time).
When he returned from his trip to Palestine, he was able to obtain the 1840 Royal Engineers’ survey data, and used this in the production of this maps.
Given the known flaws in the work, Van de Velde used the Royal Engineers’ raw data to construct his map, cross-comparing the data with his work as well as all known previous geographical and cartographical knowledge.

After the execution of the 3rd Duke in 1521, and his posthumous attainder, the castle and manor of Stafford escheated to the crown, and all the peerage titles were forfeited.
However the castle and manor of Stafford were recovered ten years later in 1531 by his eldest son Henry Stafford, 1st Baron Stafford (1501-1563), who was created a baron in 1547.
His descendants, much reduced in wealth and prestige, retained possession of Stafford Castle and the widow of the 4th Baron was still seated there during the Civil War when shortly after 1643 it was destroyed by Parliamentarian forces.
However a vestige of the feudal barony may be deemed to have continued in the families of later owners of the manor of Stafford and site of the Castle, after the abolition of feudal tenure in 1661.
The first feudal baron held 131 manors as listed in the Domesday Book of 1086, a high proportion lying in Staffordshire.
The PEF Survey of Palestine was a series of surveys carried out by the Palestine Exploration Fund (PEF) between 1872-77 for the Survey of Western Palestine and in 1880 for the Survey of Eastern Palestine.
The survey was carried out after the success of the Ordnance Survey of Jerusalem by the newly-founded PEF, with support from the War Office.
Besides being a geographic survey the group collected thousands of place names with the objective of identifying Biblical, Talmudic, early Christian and Crusading locations.
The survey resulted in the publication of a map of Palestine consisting of 26 sheets, at a scale of 1:63,360, the most detailed and accurate map of Palestine published in the 19th century.
Although the holiness of Palestine was a significant motivator for many members of the PEF, the allocation of British Army Royal Engineers to carry out the survey was a result of British strategic interests, particularly the proximity of the Suez Canal.
As a result of the French survey work in Galilee in 1870, Charles Wilson joined the Topographical Department of the Intelligence Department of the War Office in London.
In addition, the outbreak of the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878) provided another strategic imperative for the British Government to ensure the completion of the survey work.
John James Moscrop illustrated the nature of the involvement of the War Office in the survey work, in a detailed monograph.
The success of the survey resulted from the War Office providing support to the PEF, and the PEF providing cover to the War Office.
Moscrop takes considerable pains to show how the different governmental bodies, particularly the War Office, were involved in all stages of the Survey of Western Palestine.
He shows how Wilson was in practice serving as liaison between the government and the Palestine Exploration Fund's Executive Committee, of which he was a member...
He also describes how general publication of the maps and memoirs was held back until the War Office had finished with them for its own purposes.
Revealingly, he finds that for most of the relevant period there is no mention of any payments for the salaries of the Royal Engineers.
It has to be supposed that the money came from a quite different source-that from which the men's salaries had always come, namely the War Office in London.
The PEF surveyors, led by Charles Warren, carried out survey and excavation work in Jerusalem between spring 1867 and April 1870, building on the 1864-65 Ordnance Survey of Jerusalem.
During his three periods of residence in the region (1865–72, 1873–74 and 1881–82), Charles Simon Clermont-Ganneau led a few discrete pieces of survey work that were carried out for and published by the PEF.
The initial survey group arrived in Jaffa in early November 1871 led by Captain Richard Warren Stewart; Charles Francis Tyrwhitt-Drake joined the group on 17 December, around which time Captain Stewart fell ill and returned to Britain.
23 year-old Lieutenant Claude Reignier Conder joined to lead the group on 17 July 1872, prior to which 560 sqm had been surveyed.
An aggregate total of 1,250 sqm had been surveyed by the end of December 1872, 1,800 by 8 June 1873, 2,300 sqm by 22 January 1874, and 3,000 by 23 April 1874.
Tyrwhitt-Drake died from fever (thought to be malaria) on 23 June 1874, and on 19 Nov 1874, 24 year-old Lieutenant Herbert Kitchener joined to replace him.
The survey was suspended for 15 months following an incident in July 1875 when its members were attacked near Safad by a group of Algerians.
Kitchener returned to the region, completing the remainder of the survey between 27 February 1877 and 27 September, with a total surveyed area of 6,040 sqm.
They surveyed 510 sqm of barely populated land, covering an area which included Amman, then an almost uninhabited set of Roman ruins, and the recently repopulated Madaba.
The Moncouche Lake is a freshwater body of the watershed of the rivière aux Sables, flowing in the unorganized territory of Mont-Valin, in the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The majority of the area of Lake Moncouche is included in the northwestern part of the territory of zec Martin-Valin, in the township of Garreau.
The forest road R0208 (North-South direction) serves the eastern side of Lac Le Marié and the upper part of Rivière aux Sables.
A few other secondary forest roads serve the vicinity of Lake Moncouche for the purposes of forestry and recreational tourism activities.
The surface of lake Moncouche is usually frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from mid-December to the end of March.
Lac Moncouche adjoins in particular lakes Doumic, Maingard and Le Marié; this group of lakes feeds the head area of the rivière aux Sables.
From the mouth of Lake Moncouche, the current flows over , successively crossing Maingard Lake, le lac Le Marié, Lac des Trois Chutes and Lac Marc before spilling onto the west bank of the rivière aux Sables.
From there, the current flows first towards the North to join the current of the Betsiamites River which generally flows towards the South-East to flow on the North-West bank of the Saint Lawrence estuary.
In the Innu language and in Cree, muak designates the loon or loon, and Moncouche would be the transcription of the plural form of the term, -É mw¯akouch in Cree.

Pain petri is a sweet, anise-scented, braided bread of Moroccan Jewish origin, that is traditionally baked for Shabbat, the Jewish sabbath, as well as Rosh Hashanah, and is popular among the Moroccan Jewish community of Morocco, France, and Israel.
Traditionally the women of the Moroccan Jewish community would knead the dough for a long period of time for the pain petri to obtain a lighter consistency.
It is braided into a shape similar to a narrower challah, or it is braided into an oblong ring shape similar to a Jerusalem bagel.
It is traditionally served for Shabbat as the bread used for HaMotzi, as well as the bread served with Shabbat meals, it is also served on some other Jewish holidays and special occasions.
Pain Petri has been traditionally prepared by members of the Moroccan Jewish community for thousands of years, since before the Spanish Inquisition.
It is somewhat similar to other Shabbat breads such as the Algerian Jewish mouna, the Ethiopian Jewish dabo, the Yemenite Jewish kubaneh, and challah.
For most of it’s history, pain petri was baked in communal ovens, as the members of the Moroccan Jewish community did not have their own ovens at home and had to share a communal, outdoor oven amongst the community.
It has only been since the expulsion of Jews from Morocco, and their subsequent return to Israel, or emigration to France in the mid-20th century, that this bread has been baked in home ovens.
With the exodus of their community from Morocco, pain petri has been brought by the Moroccan Jewish diaspora to France, Israel, the United States, and Canada, though it is still baked by the remaining Jewish community in Morocco.
Pain petri differs from challah, and indeed many other bread in general, in that it is typically made relatively quickly, with the process from start to finish taking an hour.
A dough is made with flour, water, eggs, yeast, oil, sugar, and anise seeds, and a hole is poked through the middle of the dough which is allowed to rest for 15 minutes.

The Wrestling Summit was a major professional wrestling supercard show that was produced and scripted collaboratively between the US-based World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and the Japanese All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) promotions.
The joint venture show took place on April 30, 1990 in the Tokyo Dome, in Tokyo, Japan and reportedly drew 53,742 spectators.
The event was the only time the three promotions produced a joint show, although NJPW and WWF worked together under the name Super World of Sports subsequently.
Highlights from the show aired on Japanese television, but due to various ownership issues the full event has never been shown in its entirety.
On the undercard The Ultimate Warrior successfully defended the WWF World Heavyweight Championship against Ted DiBiase and the NJWP team of Masa Saito and Shinya Hashimoto defeated Masahiro Chono and Riki Choshu to regain the IWGP Tag Team Championship.
The World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) had been working together since the 1970s, with WWF wrestlers travelling to Japan for NJPWs and NJPW wrestlers being brought to the US for WWF shows.
As part of the collaboration the WWF even named NJPW booker Hisashi Shinma their figure head president in the late 1970s.
In 1979 NJPW founder Antonio Inoki supposedly won the WWF World Heavyweight Championship from Bob Backlund on a show in Japan, only for the results to be reversed six days later.
As part of their partnership, NJWP was given control of the WWF World Martial Arts Heavyweight Championship upon its creation as Inoki was awarded the championship when he arrived in the United States.
The WWF also briefly gave NJPW control of the WWF International Tag Team Championship in 1985 as part of their partnership.
On January 27, 1990, WWF owner Vince McMahon appeared at an All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) show in Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.
During the show he shook hands with AJPW owner Giant Baba, followed by an announcement that for the first time WWF, AJPW and NJPW would collaborate on a show held at the Tokyo Dome on April 13, 1990.
The main event of the show was originally announced as WWF representative Hulk Hogan taking on one of AJPW's top wrestlers in Terry Gordy, but before the event, the match was changed for undocumented reasons with Stan Hansen taking part instead of Gordy.
At WrestleMania VI, the Ultimate Warrior defeated Hulk Hogan to win the WWF World Heavyweight Championship just two weeks prior to the Wrestling Summit Show.
In the same vein, Demolition (Ax and Smash) had won the WWF World Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania VII, but their championship was not on the line in the semi-main event.
NJPW had officially booked Yoshiaki Yatsu to team with Jumbo Tsuruta for the show, but due to an injury King Haku instead teamed with Tsuruta against Mr.
The officially announced attendance for the show was 53,742, while it was later confirmed that 43,000 tickets were sold, the rest were given away for free.
Highlights from the show were later shown as part of AJPW's weekly television show on Nippon TV on May 15, May 22, and May 29, 1990.
The highlights excluded the first match as well as the two matches featuring only NJPW (the second and the seventh match).
In the second match of the night Jushin Thunder Liger pinned Akira Nogami for the victory at 8 minutes, 37 seconds.
Shane McMahon, using the name Shane Stevens, son of WWF owner Vince McMahon, served as the referee for the third match of the night, making the pinfall count as Jimmy Snuka pinned Masa Fuchi to take the victory for himself and Tito Santana over Fuchi and Kenta Kobashi.
In the fourth match, WWF representative Bret Hart and AJPW light heavyweight mainstay Tiger Mask wrestled to a 20-minute draw, with the time limit expiring as Tiger Mask had Hart covered for a pinfall attempt.
While The Big Boss Man had turned face (become one of the good guys) in early 1990 he still played the role of the bad guy in the match by being the aggressor in the match, breaking the rules.
After Jake Roberts pinned the Big Bossman, he put his snake, Damien, on top of the Big Bossman before leaving the ring.
In the second NJPW-exclusive match, Masa Saito and Shinya Hashimoto successfully defended the IWGP Tag Team Championship against Masahiro Chono and Riki Choshu, when Saito pinned Chono for the victory.
For his match against Genichiro Tenryu, Randy Savage was accompanied by his manager Sensational Sherri, who would interfere in the match at one point.
The Ultimate Warrior's WWF World Championship defense against Ted DiBiase was the shortest match of the night, as Warrior only needed 6 minutes, 11 seconds to defeat DiBiase.
In the semi-main event Demolition's (Ax and Smash) newly won WWF World Tag Team Championship was not on the line as they took on AJPW representative Giant Baba and WWF representative André the Giant.
The main event match between Hansen and Hogan, saw the two fight both inside and outside of the ring, ending when Hogan kicked Hansen in the face as Hansen was entering the ring.
The April 30, 1990 show was the only time that the WWF, NJPW, and AJPA collaborated on a show, with neither AJPW nor NJPW working directly with the WWF after this, and AJPW/NJPW were rivals in Japan for years afterwards, not working together again until 2000.
Shortly after the Wrestling Summit, Super World of Sports (SWS) was formed, featuring wrestlers who previously worked for NJPW or AJPW.
In October 1990 SWS and the WWF began collaborating, sending WWF wrestlers to Japan for SWS shows and SWS wrestlers working select WWF shows, such as Genichiro Tenryu and Kōji Kitao working the WWF's WrestleMania VII show.
Instead of working with the WWF, NJPW opted to partner with US-based World Championship Wrestling (WCW) for a talent exchange as well as joint shows including WCW/New Japan Supershow I, II and III as well as Collision in Korea.
The storyline feud between Warrior and Dibiase extended to the fourth The Main Event prime time special, where Warrior once again successfully defended the championship against Ted DiBiase.
Genichiro Tenryu's feud with Randy Savage carried through the SWS shows in 1991, with Tenryu defeating Savage at the 1991 WrestleDream in Kobe Japan.
The WWE Network only has highlights from two of the matches, the semi-main event with Demonlition vs the Giants, and the main event between Hogan and Hansen.
With the show taking place in the pre-internet era, there are very few reviews of the show from contemporary fans outside of the fan votes for the Wrestling Observer Neweletter awards.

It was host to the world’s first aviation meeting, home to Bréguet Aviation, and an important airfield in the First World War (WW1).
There were several other airfields in the area of Douai, especially during WW1, so the term 'Douai Airfield' may or may not refer to La Brayelle.
The first product was the Bréguet-Richet Gyroplane No.1, a machine with four sets of four biplane rotors driven by a engine.
On 29 September 1907 it rose vertically to a height of two feet (0.6m), steadied by four assistants – the first ever manned helicopter flight, but it was completely uncontrollable.
This was badly damaged in a hard landing, and was used as the basis for the model 2bis, which was nearly ready for flight when it was destroyed in its hangar by a severe storm in early 1909.
On 17 December 1907, local businessman Pierre Arbel, director of the Forges de Douai, donated land as France’s first airfield, and created a field and a fenced area for the hangars and workshops.
Blériot won the speed prize and Paulhan won a distance contest and separately set a new world altitude record of , comfortably clearing a reference balloon set at the target to beat the record set by Wilbur Wright the previous year.
In 1911 Louis Bréguet started his own company, Bréguet Aviation, and by 1913, he had established a flying school, both based here.
In 1914, at the start of the war, the French military arrived, and the Royal Naval Air Service stationed some armoured cars here.
In June 1916 Bavarian aerial reconnaissance unit Feldflieger Abteilung (Field Aviation Battalion) 5b arrived at La Brayelle, but left in October after hangars were destroyed during heavy bombardment.
The airfield was bombed by RFC night bombers on the nights of the 5/6 and 7/8 April 1917, and Jasta 11 moved to Roucourt, 26 miles to the north-east on the 13 April 1917.
Jasta 4 was at La Brayelle between 24 February to 31 May 1917, and Jasta 12 arrived here 18 August 1917.
The Germans continued to occupy the airfield, and on 2 May 1918 Roderic Dallas, commander of RAF 40 Squadron, in an S.E.5, created an unusual incident when he dropped a package with a note taunting the Germans, then bombed and shot up the base, apparently to the amusement of Field Marshal Haig and Sir Hugh Trenchard.
25 Squadron RAF moved into the airfield with DH.4s and DH.9As, and was still operating here at the date of the Armistice of 11 November 1918.
During the Second World War the Germans again occupied the airfield, but it was unsuitable for operations, so they moved instead to Vitry-en-Artois airfield, three miles to the southwest, which they considered more convenient and which had runways which could be concreted.
Almost all traces of the old airfield have disappeared, and the site is now occupied largely by agricultural land and industrial areas including a large Renault car plant.
There remains a memorial to Capitaine Louis Gabriel Madiot, Capitaine Dubois and Lieutenant Peignian, who all died in the crash of a Bréguet aircraft on 23 October 1910.
It was erected on 7 October 1923, and is located by the roadside in the area of the original Breguet workshops.

During WW I in the U.S. Army Signal Corps, Craft was a captain from March 1917 to December 1917 and a major from March 1917 to May 1918.
From June 1918 to October 1918 he was a technical advisor on radio communication to the U.S. Navy in London, UK.

The product has been described as the most produced of any of Volkswagen's parts, some 6.81 million sausages being manufactured in 2018.
The pork cuts are trimmed to remove excess fat, which provides a fat content to the sausage of approximately 20%, significantly lower than the 35% usual for a bratwurst sausage.
The sausage is given an official part number of 199 398 500 A. Volkswagen state that their currywurst contains no protein powder, monosodium glutamate or phosphates.
The currywurst is sold in the 17 canteens and restaurants in the Wulfsburg factory, usually with ketchup and chips (French fries).
Volkswagen has produced food for its workers at the Wolfsburg plant since it opened in 1938 due to the remote location of the factory.
Initially, the plant received whole animals from a Volkswagen-owned farm that were butchered on site - this has since ceased and pre-butchered animals are sourced locally.
The meat was originally a blend of pork and beef but the beef was removed in the 1990s owing to the United Kingdom BSE outbreak of the 1990s.
Around 40% of Volkswagen currywurst production is consumed within restaurants at its six German factories, the remainder is sold at external shops, supermarkets and football stadiums.
A portion is also sent to Volkswagen dealerships across Europe which use the currywurst as a present for customers who purchase new cars.
The product is sold in 11 countries but is not available in the United States due to its rules on the import of uncooked meat.
In the past Volkswagen has sent a team of chefs to the United States to replicate the product with locally-sourced ingredients.
Production increased by 264% between 2009 and 2018 when 6.81 million were made, making the currywurst the most produced of any part in the Volkswagen range.

At the time of writing, the medieval Turku Castle, the site of events, was badly damaged, and the story had a major influence on the desire to restore this important landmark in the City of Turku.
Beneath Turku Castle, in the deepest and darkest cellar vault, lived a 700-year-old elf Tomten with a white beard so long that he could spin it two turns around his waist.
The lonely Tomten was good and honest, but disciplined and tidy, and also had a slightly peculiar taste for his living comforts.
He had only three friends: the elf of Turku Cathedral, his magical black cat Murri in the cellar vault and his only human friend, Matti, the old janitor of Turku Castle.
Matti was 12 years old when he first met Tomten; at that time, the boy was looking for old muskets bullets in the vaults of the castle, where he found an underground passage.
Matti was trapped in the tunnel as the rocks collapsed, but the Tomten who emerged helped him out of the tunnel and transported him safely out of the tunnel through Turku Cathedral.
Matti didn't expect to see Tomten anymore, but the old elf wished Matti a great future and secretly helped Matti in his studies and work, until he was a janitor at Turku Castle at the age of 30.
Matti worked for 50 years until she retired at the age of 80 and left her job for her granddaughter's husband.
After that, old Matti spent a lot of time in the decaying castle, repairing the places, not knowing that the Tomten also repaired the castle every now and then.
There were plenty of things to repair in the castle due to the weather and the natural forces, but Tomten was tenacious and had for centuries secured the castle by repairing it so that the castle would not leave only ruins over time.
When Tomten saw how old Matti loved the castle like him, his heart was tender and he reappeared to Matti after all these years.
In his spare time, Tomten told Matti about the history of the castle and the people who inhabited it, including the dukes and kings.
He also told Matti about the battles and other conflicts around the castle; when a Great Fire of Turku came at the time when Tomten visited Raseborg and Loviisa to meet his cousins, he had decided that he would never leave Turku at all.
He also shows another door that leads to a dungeons where many thieves, who have attempted to steal treasure, are now in chains and turned into wolves.
According to Tomten, there is a tunnel under the door beneath the castle's foundations, where the old Väinämöinen, the ageless wise man, sitting and waiting.
Soon there is a wedding at the castle: Rose, the great-granddaughter of Matti is getting married with sergeant major and invisible Tomten has given her a beautiful crown as a gift.
The guests, who did not see Tomten, are sure that Matti has found it in the castle, but only Matti knew the truth.
Matti drinks too much wine and starts to tell about Tomten and treasure to Saara, whose need to gossip is trumped by her greed.

Joseph Henry Loveless (December 3, 1870 – c. 1916), also known as Charles Smith, Walter Currans, and Walter Cairns, was an American bootlegger and accused murderer.
In 1916, he allegedly escaped from jail with a sawblade he had hidden in his shoe, a feat he would repeat several months after being accused of murdering his common-law wife.
The body was not positively identified until 2019 with the help of the DNA Doe Project, which noted that the identification was the oldest one they had ever made.
On May 18, 1916, Loveless broke out of the St. Anthony jail, using a sawblade he had hidden in his shoe.
The details of Loveless's death are unknown, and it is an open case with the Clark County Sheriff's Office as of January 2020.
However, the clothes described in his final wanted poster after his jailbreak describe him as wearing the same clothes found with his remains: a light colored hat, brown coat, red sweater, and blue overalls over black trousers.
Samantha Blatt, bioarchaeologist at Idaho State University, speculated that Loveless may have been killed by his deceased wife's family as revenge for her murder.
In 1979, a family searching for arrowheads in Buffalo Cave near Dubois, Idaho, discovered human remains in a burlap sack, consisting of a headless torso.
In 2019, Idaho State University researchers and Clark County authorities solicited help from the DNA Doe Project, a nonprofit that seeks to identify previously unidentified deceased persons via forensic genealogy.
Loveless was considered a plausible candidate, though, as his gravestone was found to be a cenotaph (not accompanied by his remains).
Loveless's 87-year-old grandson was identified as living in California, and he agreed to take a DNA test, which confirmed that the remains were those of his grandfather Joseph Henry Loveless.

The band was established by ministerial decree of the then Kingdom of Italy on 1 July 1937 with maestro Alberto Di Miniello as its first director.
At the inauguration ceremony of the Band, a sort of mystical baptism, the distinguished composer Pietro Mascagni intervened as an exceptional godfather, who directed it in the first concert.

Among the issues being investigated are the management of the building by Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council and Kensington and Chelsea TMO (Tenant Management Organisation, which was responsible for the borough's council housing) and the responses of London Fire Brigade, the council and other government agencies.
In the aftermath of the fire, the council's leader, deputy leader and chief executive resigned, and the council took direct control of council housing from the TMO.

Resources available to them include: central government, the British Red Cross, the Metropolitan Police, the London Fire Brigade and local government in London.
The government also announced that they would send in a task force to take over some of Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council's functions when the GRT is gradually wound down.

The civil alphabet began to be used after 1840, first introducing Latin letters between Cyrillic letters and then replacing some Cyrillic letters with Latin letters so that Wallachian and Moldovan subjects could become accustomed to them.
The final turning point was completed under French influence and is the result of the Wallachian Revolution of 1848 and the Crimean War with the Treaty of Paris (1856).
The complete replacement of the Cyrillic alphabet with the Latin in the United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia was formalized in 1862 by Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza.

In 1827 she played a role in the settlement of Tasmania and thereafter sailed in the region and between England and Tasmania.
She brought out to Van Diemen's Land much of the initial cargo, stock, and farm labourers for the newly-formed Van Diemen's Land Company.
In particular, she carried 50 Cotswold sheep – 10 rams and 40 ewes – which apparently were the first sheep in Tasmania.
While she was working for the Company she also at some point carried the colourful adventurer Jørgen Jørgensen from Launceston to George Town.
There she took on the crew of the whaler , which had wrecked on 6 March, and carried them to Sydney.
The five-storey building was completed in 1902 to designs by the architect Emil Jørgensen and provided free accommodation for families and individuals in difficult circumstances.

Vitaliĭ Semenovich Lelʹchuk () (born 1929) is a Russian historian who is a specialist in the Soviet model of industrialisation, scientific and technological revolution, and the history of the USSR.
He graduated from Moscow State University where he also taught before moving to the Institute of History of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
He later joined the State Academic University for Humanities (GAUGN) in Moscow where he was deputy dean of the Faculty of History.
From 1952 to 1959, Lelʹchuk taught history at MSU and from 1959 at the Institute of History of the USSR Academy of Sciences, later becoming deputy dean of the Faculty of History of the State Academic University for the Humanities (GAUGN) in Moscow.
With respect to Lenin's New Economic Policy, Lelʹchuk argued that its mixed results were a consequence of a failure to set clear objectives due to idealogical differences and a power struggle in the Communist Party, rather than structural problems within the Soviet economy.
He wrote a short history of Soviet society with Yriĭ Polyakov and Anatoliĭ Protopopov that was published by Progress Publishers in 1971 and translated into French (1972) and English (1977).
He also published three edited works on the Soviet Union during the Cold War (1995, 1998, 2000), part of new scholarship assisted by the opening of Soviet archives.
608 Fifth Avenue, also known as the Goelet Building or Swiss Center Building, is an Art Deco style office building at Fifth Avenue and West 49th Street in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City, adjacent to Rockefeller Center.
608 Fifth Avenue was built in 1930–1932 for Robert Walton Goelet, a member of the wealthy Goelet family, on the site of Ogden Goelet's old mansion.
The structure was built while the construction of Rockefeller Center was ongoing, and its design was meant to complement that of the other buildings in Rockefeller Center.
The structure, built in the Art Deco style, consists of a two-story base and an eight-story upper section, with a facade of green and white marble.
Among these were two country mansions that Edward H. Kendall designed for brothers Robert and Ogden Goelet, within one block of each other.
While Robert's estate was located at 589 Fifth Avenue, near present-day 48th Street, Ogden's estate was located at 608 Fifth Avenue one block north.
In 1920, Robert Walton commissioned the construction of an art gallery at 606 Fifth Avenue, directly south of Ogden's estate; the gallery was then occupied by Henry Reinhardt & Son.
Ogden's widow continued to live in the 608 Fifth Avenue mansion until 1926, and retained ownership of the structure through her death in February 1929.
However, Goelet could not yet develop the western part of his site due to an easement that a neighbor held on the land.
Though both options included office space above a two-story retail area, one of the options provided space for a showroom, and the other did not.
The building was completed by 1932, but due to a lack of interest from large tenants, the space was subdivided into smaller units.
Within the area bounded by Sixth and Fifth Avenues between 48th and 51st Streets, the Goelet Building was among the few plots that was not owned outright by Rockefeller Center's developers by the end of 1932.
According to contemporary photographs of 608 Fifth Avenue, the ground floor was first occupied by several small stores, and by the 1960s, was taken up by the men's store John David.
Lester Tichy was hired to redesign both the interior and exterior of the first and second floors, and the Swiss Center opened in 1966.
The building's then-owner Sarah Korein objected, as she wanted to expand the building by several stories once the Swiss Center's lease expired in 1996.
However, the planning application to the city's Department of Buildings was submitted by Roy Clinton Morris on behalf of Edward F. Faile, leading to occasional disputes over who was the building's architect.
Directly to the south is the Childs Restaurants building at 604 Fifth Avenue, built in 1925 as the United States' first building with no columns at its corners.
From the outset, 608 Fifth Avenue was designed as a commercial structure that would maximize the rapidly rising land value of the area, with retail on the lower floors and office stories above.
At the time, retail space was more profitable per square foot than office space was, but the retail space also required large display windows facing the street, which nonetheless were extremely profitable.
To maximize the surface area of these show windows, Faile designed the third and higher stories on a cantilevered structure located on two-story-tall outer columns recessed from the boundary of the property.
The construction of Rockefeller Center made it difficult to forecast whether numerous small stores or a large retailer would be more suitable for the site.
To ensure that the retail space could more easily be converted into a department store if needed, 608 Fifth Avenue included features such as wide staircases and fire sprinklers, as well as a ceiling in the rear of the first floor.
When the second-floor mezzanine was built, it was suspended from this cantilever, instead of being supported by columns above the first floor, thus maximizing the first-floor retail space.
The crest and monogram hung above the original main entrance arch on Fifth Avenue, demolished in 1965, as well as the arched entryway on 49th Street.
The building's lobby was designed in a full Art Deco style, as Victor Hafner was not constrained by a need to conform the building's interior with those of nearby buildings.
The elevator lobby contains three openings for elevators, as well as a staircase to the floors above; the elevator doors also contain intricate carvings.

And once the castaways had moved to the Island of the Idols for the final few days of the game, Sheehan returned the favor, by sharing a clue to another hidden idol with Kowalski.
In response, Sheehan convinced her that he was no good at making fire, stating that if they wanted to eliminate Beck, the biggest threat left in the game, Salman would have to pit Beck and Kowalski against each other in the Final Four fire-making competition which would determine the third finalist.
At the Final Tribal Council, Sheehan stated that he made strong social bonds with many people in his tribe, enabling him to control the ebb and flow of the game.
On December 18, 2019, it was revealed that Sheehan’s social game had prevailed, as he won the title of Sole Survivor, by an 8–2–0 vote.
He had received votes from everyone on the jury except Aaron Meredith and Elizabeth Beisel, each of whom had voted for Kowalski.
After the results were announced, Sheehan stated that, in spite of winning the $1 million, he would keep his day job as a teacher.

She is a co-founder of the Ferguson Response Network, the co-creator of the Safety Pin Box monthly subscription service, and has created multiple digital campaigns such as #PayBlackWomen and #SlaveryWithASmile.
She also worked as a trainer helping open the international locations of corporate restaurants chains, and later became an event planner.
In 2014, she began grassroots organizing with the help of Feminista Jones, with whom she organized a National Moment of Silence (#NMOS14) vigil in the wake of Michael Brown's shooting death in Ferguson, MO.
Mac then founded the Ferguson Response Network in 2014 to help train people in peaceful protest, and transitioned into full-time organizing.
Mac was an activist in the Black Lives Matter of Unitarian Universalism, and helped organize a protest that interrupted a Bernie Sanders rally in Seattle during his campaign to become the Democratic candidate in the 2016 presidential election.
The idea was influenced by the popular safety pin concept developed by a woman in the UK who suggested wearing pins as a sign of solidarity to racial minorities after the Brexit vote.
In December 2016 Mac posted on Facebook about racism, and shortly after actor Matt McGorry shared her post on his account in support, Mac's account was banned.
Mac created the Twitter hashtag #PayBlackWomen in July 2018 to highlight the racial disparity in pay between Black women and white men.
In 1637, King Charles of England, Scotland and Ireland tried to impose a new Prayer Book, based on that of the Church of England, on the Church of Scotland (the Kirk).
Another grievance was that General Assemblies of the Kirk had voted to abolish the office of bishop, and Charles seemed determined to reinstate it.
On 26 October, Charles and the Covenanters signed the Treaty of Ripon as a preliminary to a more detailed and permanent treaty.
Meanwhile, the Scottish army was to be allowed to occupy Northumberland and County Durham, and was to be paid £850 per day for its upkeep.
Charles was desperately short of money, and summoned the Parliament of England in the hope that they would pass financial supply bills to solve his problem.
That Parliament (which sat until 1660 and became known as the Long Parliament) first met on 3 November, and turned out be not at all subservient to his wishes.
A week later, Scottish commissioners (John Smith of Grothill and Hugh Kennedy of Ayr) arrived in London to finalise a treaty.
Charles denounced the Scottish army as rebel invaders, but the commissioners were welcomed by the Puritans of London, and he withdrew his remarks.
The King was in a weak position: there was civil unrest in London, and Parliament had impeached his two chief ministers, the Earl of Strafford and Archbishop Laud (they were later to be executed).
They had denounced episcopacy (bishoprics) in the Church of England, and had spoken and written against Strafford and Laud; and, their hosts had told them that that was none of their business.
However, the underlying tensions within his kingdoms still remained, and the Bishops' Wars turned out to be only the initial conflicts in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, which ended only with his trial and execution in 1649.

Valentin Ivanovich Bliznyuk (; 12 April 1928 – 30 December 2019) was a Soviet and later Russian aircraft designer who worked chiefly with the Tupolev design bureau over a career spanning almost seventy years.
Born in 1928, Bliznyuk entered the S. Ordzhonikidze Moscow Aviation Institute and was recruited to work at the Tupolev design bureau as a design engineer during his studies.
His early work included several military designs, including the Tu-91 turboprop tactical strike aircraft, the Tu-95 and Tu-98 strategic bombers, the Tu-105 prototype for the Tu-22 supersonic long-range bomber, and the Tu-107.
From the late 1950s Bliznyuk worked on designs for unmanned aerial vehicles for different purposes, and had a hand in the development of the Tu-121, Tu-123, Tu-141 and Tu-143 unmanned vehicles, as well as some more unconventional designs, the Tu-130 boost-glider and the proposed Tu-136 orbital manned spacecraft.
By the 1960s he was working under the bureau's chief, Alexei Tupolev, on the design for the Tu-144 supersonic passenger aircraft, and had the title of Deputy Chief Designer.
Using the expertise developed on the production of the Tu-144, Bliznyuk worked to develop the Tu-160, a supersonic bomber which incorporated a number of features developed and perfected on the Tu-144.
Bliznyuk was appointed Chief Designer and head of the Tu-160 project in 1975, and shepherded the design through to its first test flight in 1981, and its acceptance into service with the Soviet Air Force in 1987.
Born on 12 April 1928 in the village of Malorossiyskoe, in what was then the Kazakh Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic, in the Soviet Union, Bliznyuk entered the S. Ordzhonikidze Moscow Aviation Institute after graduating from high school.
While studying, he joined the Tupolev design bureau as a design engineer in 1952, before graduating from the Moscow Aviation Institute in 1953.
Under the direction of , Bliznyuk worked on several of the designs drawn up by the bureau during the 1950s; including the Tu-91 turboprop tactical strike aircraft, the Tu-95 and Tu-98 strategic bombers, the Tu-105 prototype for the Tu-22 supersonic long-range bomber, and the Tu-107, a prototype military transport aircraft.
In the late 1950s the Tupolev bureau formed a new unit under Alexei Tupolev to direct research into unmanned aerial vehicles.
From 1957 until 1972 Bliznyuk directly supervised the development of several new unmanned aerial systems; including the Tu-121 supersonic strategic strike aircraft, and the Tu-123, Tu-141 and Tu-143 reconnaissance drones.
The technical breakthroughs involved in this work allowed Tupolev to design and build the Tu-144, an early supersonic passenger aircraft, which first flew in 1968.
Bliznyuk started as head of the brigade, and then became head of the General Views department, with the title of Deputy Chief Designer.
He eventually rose to head of the design department, incorporating many of the design features and lessons learnt from the Tu-144 into the development of the long-range supersonic Tu-22M bomber and its many variants.
Bliznyuk took part in the preliminary designwork for the Tu-160 during the late 1960s and early 1970s, which resulted in the variable-sweep wing design as used on the Tu-144.
Bliznyuk oversaw the coordination of the different companies and elements involved in the design and construction work, as well as the construction of prototypes and their testing and refinement.
Hubert Kaufhold (born March 19, 1943 in Braunschweig, Germany) is a German legal scholar and judge, with special research interests in the languages and legal history of the Christian Orient.
Kaufhold studied law (1962-1966) at the University of Münster, the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, and the University of Göttingen from 1962-1966.

From 1969 to 1970 he was a research assistant at the Leopold Wenger Institute for Ancient Legal History and Papyrus Research at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.
After completing the Dr. iuris degree in 1973 (with a dissertation on the legal collection of Gabriel, the 9th century Nestorian Metropolitan of Baṣra), and passing his second state examination as a lawyer in that year also, Kaufhold served as a public prosecutor and judge in Munich from 1973 to 2008.
Since 1977, he has regularly taught Syriac and the legal history of the Christian Orient at the Leopold Wenger Institute for Ancient Legal History and Papyrus Research, where he held the title of Honorary Professor since 1986.

The 2020 South Korean Figure Skating Championships were held from January 3–5, 2020 at the Uijeongbu Indoor Ice Rink in Uijeongbu.
He brought together and helped preserve one of the most important collections of ancient Syriac manuscripts, which is still of critical importance to scholars today.
He acquired for the monastery a 6th-century copy of the Peshitta, the Syriac Bible, from a family of Tikrit in 906 or 907.
The screens separating the sanctuary and the choir from the nave in the main church were put up during his abbacy.
In 925, the new governor to Egypt, Takin al-Khazari, imposed the poll tax on Christians who had until then been exempt (bishops, monks and the infirm).
To protest this change of policy, the monasteries of Egypt elected Moses of Dayr al-Suryan to be their envoy to the Caliph al-Muqtadir in Baghdad.
He went east with a delegation around 926 or 927 and remained there for five years, navigating the caliphal bureaucracy and acquiring books for his monastic library.
Most of these were distributed to western libraries in the 18th and 19th centuries, and only a small portion of the collection remains in Dayr al-Suryan today.
The latest mention of Moses as abbot is found in a note to another Syriac biblical manuscript in the British Library, Add MS 14525, which dates to 943 or 944.

Esther 5 is the fifth chapter of the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, The author of the book is unknown and modern scholars have established that the final stage of the Hebrew text would have been formed by the second century BCE.
This chapter records that Esther's risky behavior to appear uninvited before the king Ahasuerus is richly rewarded, because the king generously offers to give her whatever she wants, 'even to the half of my kingdom' (5:3), but Esther cleverly asks for nothing more than an opportunity to entertain her husband and his chief officer, Haman.
Both men were pleased at her hospitality, but when the king again offers her half the empire, this time she requests only a second banquet.
While Haman was happy to have been entertained by the queen, he became intensely distressed when Mordecai once more refused to bow down before him.
Haman's wife, Zeresh, advised him to erect a monumental gallows intended for Mordecai, and only then Haman felt happy again to look forward to Esther's second banquet.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes Codex Leningradensis (1008).
Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; formula_1; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: formula_1; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; formula_1; 5th century).
Esther was immediately successful in her approach: the king extended his scepter as a sign of clemency and promised to grant her wish up to half of his kingdom.
However, she didn't use this opportunity to avert the decree of genocide and instead invited the king and Haman to a dinner party.
This pericope shows that Haman is a dangerous foe who was constantly full of wrath for being worsted by his inferior, Mordecai, so he planned to butcher the whole population of Jews to appease his own sense of inferiority.
Haman would not enjoy all his honors as long as there was one Jew who did not give him the customary respect he wanted.
His friends understood that Haman wanted not only Mordecai dead, but also be humiliated publicly, so they suggested the setting up of high gallows for Mordecai to appease Haman.
Nonetheless, Modercai's continued defiance against Haman is 'enigmatic', as he still held it while knowing that his action has placed the Jews in great mortal danger.
The Petit lac Métascouac is a freshwater body crossed by the Métascouac River, in the unorganized territory of Lac-Croche, in the La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.

Holt of the British Admiralty and built by British boatbuilder Fairmile Marine, during the Second World War eighty Fairmile B motor launches were built in Canada for service with the Coastal Forces of the RCN.
Built of double mahogany (diagonally) with an eight-inch oak keel and based on a line of destroyer hulls, the Fairmiles arrived in prefabricated kits to be assembled for the RCN by thirteen different boatyards.
In contrast to the British built boats, the Canadian Fairmiles were narrower, had a greater draught, and were slightly more powerful giving the Canadian boats a two knot speed advantage over the British boats.
Another unique design feature of the Fairmile B was that with forty-eight hours notice each boat could be reconfigured to serve in a different role.
Fitted with steel strips and tapped holes to ease equipment swaps, weapons and specialist gear such as torpedo tubes, mines, depth charges, and guns could be quickly stripped and attached to the boat.
In two days, a Fairmile could have it's weapons and equipment reconfigured to serve as an escort, minesweeper, minelayer, navigation leader, coastal raider, patrol boat, ambulance or rescue launch.

The Small Arms Magazine at Enoggera is one of the two oldest buildings at the Gallipoli Barracks, formerly known as Enoggera Army Camp.
Built in 1910, it served as a secure storage facility for rifle and pistol ammunition, in association with the rifle range and the nearby School of Musketry.
It was responsible for the training of thousands of Queenslanders for service in World War I and World War II, and subsequent conflicts.
It is believed that British Imperial troops, based at Bulimba on the southern bank of the river, used the area for training exercises from as early as 1855.
Rifle and training ranges, including the old Toowong Rifle Range, were established there and subsequently used by civilian groups such as the Queensland Rifle Association and the Queensland defence forces, including volunteer militia.
After Federation in 1901 the Australian Government became responsible for defence matters, although a fully coordinated national defence force did not arise for a number of years.
Once Commonwealth military units began to be established in earnest, the government began to acquire property on a large-scale to facilitate training and accommodation of its forces.
The first major improvement made by the Commonwealth was the development of a new rifle range, with mounds targets and shelter sheds.
The initial rifle range development at the site was followed by a prolonged period of initial development of the site, dating into the 1920s.
The School of Musketry, Small Arms Magazine Store and to Cordite Magazines were erected in 1910 as part of a functional complex associated with the rifle range.
In the years since this period the site has been constantly developed and expanded in line with the Army's changing requirements, although many of the earliest buildings have survived with their authenticity and integrity largely intact.
The site was used by the Association in the 1850s and 1860s, but another site at Toowong was favoured by the club by the time the Commonwealth acquired the Enoggera properties.
As soon as 1908 the rifle association had returned to Enoggera, seemingly sharing the facilities with the military for a number of years.
Both buildings, as well as numerous other early buildings at the complex, were designed by Thomas Pye, Deputy Government Architect of the Queensland Public Works Department, under the supervision of Government Architect A.
From the early 1890s until the end of World War I the Queensland Government Architect's office was prolific in its output of new public buildings for both the Queensland and Commonwealth Governments.
In the early post-Federation years the Queensland Public Works Department often constructed new buildings on behalf of the Commonwealth, which had insufficient resources to undertake many new projects.
A talented team of architects was on hand at various times during this time, including Brady, Pye and John Smith Murdoch.
During his tenure as Chief Architect, Southern Division and then Deputy Government Architect, Pye designed or supervised plans for a number of Queensland's more prominent public buildings of the Federation period, including the Rockhampton Customs House, the Stanthorpe and Woolloongabba Post Offices and Naval Offices in Brisbane.
Trainees receiving instruction at the School of Musketry would have been allocated ammunition at the Small Arms Magazine prior to heading out to the range for firing practice.
The importance of the rifle range and other live firing facilities at Enoggera is illustrated in the Army base's contribution to Australia's preparations for multiple military conflicts, including two World Wars.
It has a simple, gable hipped, galvanized iron roof, with a conical ventilator fleche, connected to the internal spaces via ventilation grilles.
The front access doors are metal, leading to a central passageway from which two main rooms, for the storage of ammunition are served.
As late as the early 1980s a timber counter was in place, from behind which ammunition would be distributed, but this has since been removed.
Some internal fittings, such as ammunition cupboards, have been removed, but a strong interpretation of the building's original function is possible.
Along with numerous other early buildings at Enoggera, the Small Arms Magazine also highlights early relationships between the Commonwealth and State, having been designed and built by the Queensland Government on the behest of the Commonwealth.
The Small Arms Magazine is an important and intact example of a small arms ammunition storage building and although it is no longer used for its original purpose, its current appearance strongly illustrates its former use.
The design of the building, by Thomas Pye, Queensland's Deputy Government Architect, demonstrate the quality and variety of government buildings designed by Pye and his colleagues, for both State and Commonwealth, in the Federation period.
He adapted the main building in around 1850 and sold most of the land off in lots prior to his death in 1852.
One of the first buildings in the street was a house built for xylographer Axel Kittendorff to designs by Johan Daniel Herholdt in 1852 (now demolished).
During the occupation of Denmark in World War II, on 19 September 1943, the company was subject to sabotage by members of the BOPA resistance movement.

The Forty-Nine Martyrs of Scetis were Christian monks of the monasteries of Scetis in Egypt who were massacred by Berbers during a raid in 444.
Arsenius the Great fled to Canopus at about this time owing to raids by the Berber Mazices, while Nestorius was released from his imprisonment during a Blemmyan attack on the Kharga Oasis.
The raid on Scetis also took place amidst a dispute between the monks and the Emperor Theodosios II over the emperor's desire for a male heir.
Over three years earlier, the emperor wrote to the monks asking for their prayers, but the monk Isidhurus wrote back that God would deny him a son because of his heresy (dyophysitism).
According to the accounts of the Forty-Nine Martyrs, he was pressed by some advisers and by his sister Pulcheria to divorce her and remarry.
The monks then composed a response to the emperor and Artemios and Dios had begun their return journey when the raiders arrived.
Artemios and Dios were also killed after Dios reportedly saw the monks receiving the heavenly crowns of martyrdom and convinced his father to turn back and share their fate.
It allowed life at Scetis to return to normal immediately after the raiders had retired because their was no general dispersal of monks as in prior attacks.
According to a late Arabic biography of Saint Pishoy, the raiders stopped at a spring near the monastery of Saint Pishoy to wash their swords and the spring was a source of miraculous healing thereafter.
Numerous miracles were reported at their grave and the Emperor Theodosios was so impressed that he built a martyrium for them in Constantinople.
It was reports of their holiness that supposedly motivated Hilaria, daughter of the Emperor Zeno, to become a nun at Scetis.
In 538, Patriarch Theodosios I of Alexandria had their relics moved to a different cave and a chapel built over them.
Following the Arab conquest of Egypt in 642, Patriarch Benjamin I visited their shrine and established the 5th of the month of Meshir in the Coptic calendar as their feast day.
The relics were moved again when the chapel fell into ruin and a final time in 1773 when a wealthy patron, Ibrahim al-Jawhari, built a new church for them at Dayr Anba Maqar.
The first consultation by Theodosios of the monks of Scetis is also mentioned in John of Nikiu's history (7th century), although he does not mention the second or the raid.
It is probable that Theodosios' consultation of the monks and the massacre were distinct events separated in time that became conflated in the hagiographical tradition.
SR-319 begins at US-40/US-189 at the Mayflower interchange (exit 8 on that highway) and proceeds to the east as a two-lane roadway with a center turn lane.
After entering the boundaries of Jordanelle State Park, it turns to the south and terminates at the state park fee booth.
In conjunction with the construction of the Jordanelle Reservoir in the late 1980s, a new state park was proposed on its western shore, with an access road connecting it to the new alignment of US-40/189.
Since the purpose of the new route would be to serve a state park, it was given a number in the 281-320 range.
On November 3, 1989, the Utah Transportation Commission approved the designation, which initially extended from US-40/189 east to the proposed boat ramp, a distance of ; however, the eastern had not been constructed at the time.
The King's Own Calgary Regiment Band is the regimental band of The King's Own Calgary Regiment based at Mewata Armoury in Calgary, Alberta.
The regimental band is an composed of volunteer members, all of whom have completed the Basic Military Qualification (BMQ) and many of whom have studied and trained at the Canadian Forces School of Music at CFB Borden.
It was established in 1910, it served as the official band of the 103rd Regiment (Calgary Rifles), which was part of the Non-Permanent Active Militia.
Following the outbreak of the First World War, many musicians of the band volunteered for service with 50th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, where they continued to serves as musicians, as well as medical personnel, stretcher bearers and stick orderlies.
Unlike its service in the first war, the band did not deploy with the KOCR to Europe during the Second World War.
The band gained new members in 1963 with the official disbandment of the Band of the Calgary unit of the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps that year.
In 1966, the band, then under the direction of Victor Wright, was dissolved by order of the Department of National Defense.
In June 1991, the band took part in the funeral of the John Michael Pierce, a British oil developer who died at a ranch in Turner Valley.
In May 2005, the band performed martial music at the Scotiabank Saddledome for Queen Elizabeth II during her visit to Calgary.
The 35-member band primarily performs as a concert and parade band and performs at military and provincial functions in the community.
Being based in Calgary, it has performed in the city's many activities, including the Calgary Stampede and the St. George’s Day parade.
It also performs during events that are held on the national scale, such as Remembrance Day services and Canada Day parades.
He served two stints as the head football coach at Albany State University in Albany, Georgia, from 1971 to 1976 and again from 1982 to 1999, and compiling a record of 157–90–4.
Hain was able to pass messages through methods such as by hiding notes inside onion layers or by restitching a shirt.
Their house was raided, sometimes during the night with the family in residence and they were followed by police vehicles when they drove.
During Nelson Mandela's trial in 1963, she was there, and the two would greet one another in the courtroom with a clenched fist.
Despite being banned, Hain continued to fight apartheid, helping to deliver messages to political prisoners and helping one person flee South Africa.
When her son, Peter Hain, was elected as a member of parliament in 1991, Hain began to work part-time for him at the House of Commons.
In college football, the term Group of Five is an informal term which refers to five athletic conferences whose members are part of NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).
The five conferences are American Athletic Conference (AAC), Conference USA (C-USA), Mid-American Conference (MAC), Mountain West Conference (MW), and Sun Belt Conference (Sun Belt).
The terms Group of Five and Power Five are not formally defined by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and the precise origins of the terms are unknown.
A notable difference between the Group of Five and Power Five are designated areas of institutional autonomy granted to member institutions of the Power Five conferences.
The Group of Five is often considered inferior to the Power Five, as its constituent members do not have similar access to New Year's Six or College Football Playoff bowls.
Since 2014, a team from one of the Group of Five conferences is guaranteed a spot in one of the New Year's Six bowls.
Dolgoch slate quarry (also known as Dol-goch slate quarry) was a slate quarry in Mid Wales, approximately half way between Bryn-crug and Abergynolwyn ( away from each of them).
Although the quarry had favourable transportation arrangements compared to many quarries in the area, it was never worked on a significant scale, and was short-lived – opening in 1877 and closing in 1884.
Jones was a local prospector who opened many mines in the area; most of them were unsuccessful, with the exception of the Tonfanau stone quarry, near Tywyn.
Around the same time, the Cwm-Pandy quarry also opened, south-west of Dolgoch; many sources speculate that the openings of these quarries were related, although no evidence has been found to support these claims.
The Dolgoch quarry appears to have been successful, and in June 1880 was significant enough that the government's Chief Factory Inspector for North Wales added the quarry to the surrounding district.
Quarrying in the ravine was prohibited from 1902 onwards, under the terms of the sale of the ravine from Robert Jones Roberts to the Tywyn Urban District Council.
The final attempt was made to revive the quarry for a brief period in 1921, when there was a dispute between Sir Henry Haydn Jones, the manager & owner of Bryn-Eglwys quarry, and a group of quarry workers.
Covering an area of high ground within to the south and east of the county town Falkirk and south of Grangemouth, its core comprises a number of small villages including mining and quarrying communities, which have each expanded to form a near-contiguous acentric suburban environment.
Historically within Stirlingshire, most of the Braes villages fell under Grangemouth parish, while Laurieston was part of Falkirk parish and the south-east including Maddiston was in Muiravonside parish.
The largest village, with the majority of amenities such as health centre and library, is Polmont, but this is not at the geographical centre of the agglomeration and is itself spread over a wide territory, having grown in several places in different eras.
The centre could be argued to be west of Polmont at the site of the Meadowbank Colliery and Brickworks, nominally in Redding; due to its industrial history, it is one of the undeveloped parcels of land in the area.
In the 21st century speculative housebuilding, including on brownfield sites such as the Nobel explosives works, has continued to fill most of the gaps between the settlements, owing to the location falling roughly midway between Glasgow and Edinburgh with links to both cities via the railway network (at ) and motorways (M9) as well as employment locally at Falkirk and Grangemouth, which has been highlighted in marketing by developers.
In wider political contexts, as of 2019 the Braes falls wholly within the Falkirk East constituency at Holyrood, but at Westminster is divided between Linlithgow and East Falkirk and Falkirk.
The local secondary school, with approximately 1,000 pupils and six feeder primaries across the Upper Braes, is Braes High School, located in Reddingmuirhead (adjacent to HMYOI Polmont).
However, in the Lower Braes the eponymous primary schools in Laurieston, Westquarter and Whitecross, plus St Margaret's Primary in Polmont, are affiliated to Graeme High School in east Falkirk.
The team played the 2018 and 2019 seasons as the Hannibal Hoots, but only one of those seasons saw them use Hannibal, Missouri as their home; flooding of their stadium led the Hoots to play their 2019 home schedule in nearby Quincy, Illinois at the home stadium of the Quincy Gems.
The Hoots and other collegiate summer leagues and teams exist to give top college players professional-like experience without affecting NCAA eligibility.
The Hoots are a member of the West Division of the Prospect League along with the Cape Catfish, DuPage Pistol Shrimp, Normal CornBelters, Quincy Gems and Springfield Sliders.
On September 26, 2019, The Prospect League announced that the franchise would relocate from Hannibal to O'Fallon beginning with the 2020 season, playing their home games at CarShield Field.
Hannibal's previous team in the Prospect League, the Hannibal Cavemen, suspended operations after the 2016 season, leaving the city without a team for the 2017 season.
The league awarded a new franchise to Rick DeStefane, with the goal of returning to the field for the 2018 season.
The former School of Musketry is one of the two oldest buildings at the Gallipoli Barracks, formerly known as Enoggera Army Camp.
Built in 1910, it served as a small arms training facility, a military tactics school, a supply depot, officers residence and as married quarters.
It was responsible for the training of thousands of Queenslanders for service in World War I and World War II, and subsequent conflicts.
It is believed that British Imperial troops, based at Bulimba on the southern bank of the river, used the area for training exercises from as early as 1855.
Rifle and training ranges, including the old Toowong Rifle Range, were established there and subsequently used by civilian groups such as the Queensland Rifle Association and the Queensland defence forces, including volunteer militia.
After Federation in 1901 the Australian Government became responsible for defence matters, although a fully coordinated national defence force did not arise for a number of years.
Once Commonwealth military units began to be established in earnest, the government began to acquire property on a large-scale to facilitate training and accommodation of its forces.
The first major improvement made by the Commonwealth was the development of a new rifle range, with mounds targets and shelter sheds.
The initial rifle range development at the site was followed by a prolonged period of initial development of the site, dating into the 1920s.
In the years since this period the site has been constantly developed and expanded in line with the Army's changing requirements, although many of the earliest buildings have survived with their authenticity and integrity largely intact.
The site was used by the Association in the 1850s and 1860s, but another site at Toowong was favoured by the club by the time the Commonwealth acquired the Enoggera properties.
As soon as 1908 the rifle association had returned to Enoggera, seemingly sharing the facilities with the military for a number of years.
Both buildings, as well as numerous other early buildings at the complex, were designed by Thomas Pye, Deputy Government Architect of the Queensland Public Works Department, under the supervision of Government Architect A.
From the early 1890s until the end of World War I the Queensland Government Architect's office was prolific in its output of new public buildings for both the Queensland and Commonwealth Governments.
In the early post-Federation years the Queensland Public Works Department often constructed new buildings on behalf of the Commonwealth, which had insufficient resources to undertake many new projects.
A talented team of architects was on hand at various times during this time, including Brady, Pye and John Smith Murdoch.
During his tenure as Chief Architect, Southern Division and then Deputy Government Architect, Pye designed or supervised plans for a number of Queensland's more prominent public buildings of the Federation period, including the Rockhampton Customs House, the Stanthorpe Post Office, the Woolloongabba Post Office and the Naval Offices in Brisbane.
It was used for this purpose until 1939, with the onset of World War II, when it became the Northern Command Training School, which ran specialist courses in military tactics for personnel from all Army ranks.
After 1959 the building was adapted and converted into a residence for the senior RAEME Officer and by the late 1960s it had been adapted again as married quarters.
It is a single story red brick structure with a galvanised iron hipped gable roof with a pedimented entry and ventilated gable.
The roof extends to cover a concrete paved verandah which surrounds two thirds of the front wing of the building, the former lecture room.
The most striking external feature is a decorative ventilator fleche with a conical cap, placed at the apex of the roof, which is connected to ventilation grilles in each of the main rooms of the building.
The building is laid out in a symmetrical plan, with a main central lecture hall, and two wings to the left and right, leaving a small built-in courtyard to the rear.
The left hand wing was designed for offices, including a pay office, whilst the right wing was for the armoury and rifle racks.
Each of the main rooms was designed with a door that would open to the outside, while the roof and verandah provides shade to most rooms.
The building's function has changed several times during its life to date, necessitating some changes, but most of the permanent changes have been minor, while significant changes have been substantially reversed since the conversion from married quarters to chapel in 1982.
Externally there have been some modifications to fenestration, and internally alterations were carried out in 1960s to convert to married quarters including new bathroom, kitchen, and toilet.
The former School of Musketry, Gallipoli Barracks, Enoggera, is significant as one of the two oldest substantial buildings at the former Enoggera Army Base.
The former School of Musketry, Gallipoli Barracks, Enoggera, was built in 1910 and the building, along with the Small Arms Magazine and the Enoggera Magazine Complex, form a suite of buildings designed by Queensland Government Architect's office on behalf of the recently formed Commonwealth Government.
It is significant for its service to the Commonwealth as a training facility for the use of armaments in World War I, and for the education of troops in military tactics during World War II.
The building is one of the two oldest substantial buildings at the former Enoggera Army Base and may be one of the oldest buildings in Queensland built specifically for the Australian Army.
The building has strong integrity and authenticity, allowing for interpretation of its use as a military educational facility, whilst being well adapted to its present use as an Army chapel.
The symmetrical design and ornamental features, particularly the ventilation fleche are strongly linked with the original function of the structure, as well its climatic context.
The building is a good example of the many accomplished government structures designed by Queensland's Deputy Government Architect at the time, Thomas Pye, and other members of this office, during the Federation period.
Tannenbaum completed medical school (1994), additional training in geriatrics (2000), and a Master of Science degree in epidemiology and biostatistics (2002) at McGill University.
She is now a professor of medicine and pharmacy at the Université de Montréal, where she conducts research at the Centre de recherche de l’Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal, and also is the director of the Canadian Deprescribing Network (CaDeN).
Tannenbaum was initially involved in the EMPOWER (Eliminating Medications Through Patient Ownership of End Results) trial, which is an educational intervention (using a theory-based patient handout) to engage older adults with their pharmacist or physician in discontinuing inappropriate medication.
The EMPOWER trial resulted in 27% of participants in the intervention group discontinuing their benzodiazepine use (compared with 5% of the control group) at six months.
Through this trial, Tannenbaum and her colleagues found that two-thirds of individuals who received EMPOWER handouts had taken it to their doctor or pharmacist, but in about half of these instances, the health care professionals discouraged deprescribing.
This prompted Tannenbaum to launch and oversee the D-PRESCRIBE clinical trial, which tested whether a pharmacist-led educational intervention could decrease the number of prescriptions issued for inappropriate medication among 489 older adults in Quebec.
The trial found that a pharmacist intervention resulted in greater medication discontinuation (43%) at six months than those receiving regular care.
Continence Across Continents To Upend Stigma and Dependency), which was a randomised controlled trial to test the effect of a continence promotion intervention on the urinary symptoms and quality of life in 910 women, aged 65 or older, in the United Kingdom, France and Canada (Alberta, Quebec).
So far, results from the women recruited from the UK indicate that participants in the combined intervention group had the highest rate of urinary symptom improvement, and that the recruitment rate for local community organizations was as high as 44%.
She has been awarded the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada's May-Cohen Gender Equity Award, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research's Betty Haven's Knowledge Transfer Prize in Aging, and is the Michel-Saucier Endowed Chair in Geriatric Pharmacology, Health and Aging.
After deciding to leave the industry, she enrolled at the California Institute of Integral Studies where she completed her bachelor's degree.

The 34th American Society of Cinematographers Awards will be held on January 25, 2020 at the Hollywood & Highland Ray Dolby Ballroom, honoring the best cinematographers of film and television in 2019.
The Spotlight Award recognizes outstanding cinematography in features and documentaries that are typically screened at film festivals, in limited theatrical release, or outside the United States.
The Enoggera Magazine Complex is important for its long-term and continuous association with the Enoggera Army Camp (since 1911), presently known as Gallipoli Barracks.
The magazine complex displays a strong ingenuity of design and construction adapted to the Queensland climate and safety requirements related to the storage of explosive materials.
It was responsible for the training of thousands of Queenslanders for service in both World War I and World War II, and subsequent conflicts.
It is believed that British Imperial troops, based at Bulimba on the southern bank of the river, used the area for training exercises from as early as 1855.
Rifle and training ranges, including the old Toowong Rifle Range, were established there and subsequently used by civilian groups such as the Queensland Rifle Association and the Queensland defence forces, including volunteer militia.
After Federation in 1901 the Australian Government became responsible for defence matters, although a fully coordinated national defence force did not arise for a number of years.
Once Commonwealth military units began to be established in earnest, the government began to acquire property on a large-scale to facilitate training and accommodation of its forces.
The acquisition amalgamated four separate properties: Thompson's Paddock, Rifle Paddock, Fraser's Paddock and Bell Paddock, comprising a total of 1235 acres.
The first major improvement made by the Commonwealth was the development of a new rifle range, with mounds targets and shelter sheds.
The initial rifle range development at the site was followed by a prolonged period of initial development of the site, dating into the 1920s.
In the years since this period the site has been constantly developed and expanded in line with the Army's changing requirements, although many of the earliest buildings have survived with their authenticity and integrity largely intact.
The site was used by the Association in the 1850s and 1860s, but another site at Toowong was favoured by the club by the time the Commonwealth acquired the Enoggera properties.
As soon as 1908 the rifle association had returned to Enoggera, seemingly sharing the facilities with the military for a number of years.
The Magazine Complex is a group of eight buildings which form a discrete complex on the eastern fringe of the army camp.
After the use of these shells was discontinued part way through World War II, the buildings were subsequently used as general-purpose ammunition and ordnance storehouses.
These magazines were designed primarily to house 18-pounder and 15-pounder artillery ammunition, hence their proximity to the cordite stores and the laboratory.
As with K16 and K18, their original purpose was superseded in World War II, and as a result they were used for storage of small arms ammunition and other ordnance.
While it appears of similar age and design to the magazine buildings it is considerably smaller and there is little available information as to its history or function.
The Enoggera Magazine Complex has been relatively unhindered or compromised in terms of its historical integrity by the forces of change and development.
Because of their original and ongoing function of storing explosive material, the complex has been left in a relatively isolated part of the military area due to safety requirements.
All of these buildings are believed to have been designed by Thomas Pye, then Deputy Government Architect of the Queensland Public Works Department, under the supervision of A.
From the early 1890s until the end of World War I the Queensland Government Architect's office was prolific in its output of new public buildings for both the Queensland and Commonwealth Governments.
In the early post-Federation years the Queensland Public Works Department often constructed new buildings on behalf of the Commonwealth, which had insufficient resources to undertake many new projects.

During his tenure as Chief Architect, Southern Division and then Deputy Government Architect, Pye designed or supervised plans for a number of Queensland's more prominent public buildings of the Federation period, including the Rockhampton Customs House, the Stanthorpe Post Office, the Woolloongabba Post Office, and the Naval Offices in Brisbane.
Explosives storage magazines and buildings are not uncommon as heritage buildings in Australia in general terms, but this particular complex is rare in a number of ways.
A large number of surviving powder magazines to be found in the Register of the National Estate or state/territory heritage lists date from the pre-1900 period, but the majority of these are non-military, predominantly associated with the mining industry.
There are several exceptions to this, however, one of the more notable of which is the 1878 Jack's Magazine in Footscray, Victoria.
It is possible that the Enoggera magazine complex was the first, and remains the only surviving, explosives magazine complex constructed by the Commonwealth (or by the State under Commonwealth direction) in the period between Federation and World War Two.
In addition, buildings K16 and K18 are probably the oldest surviving military buildings in Australia purpose built for the storage of cordite.
Cordite was not extensively adopted for military use in Australia until just before Federation, black gunpowder being used in the preceding period.
The magazine buildings at Irwin Barracks in Karakatta, Western Australia, were constructed by the Western Australian Government in 1898 with the purpose of handing them over to the Commonwealth at Federation, but were purpose built for storage of antiquated black powder and fuses, not cordite.
The two cordite magazines at Enoggera were in fact constructed prior to the Commonwealth's first cordite-processing explosives factory, at Maribyrnong in Melbourne.
It could be inferred from this that the Enoggera magazines were part of a complex strategy by the Commonwealth to develop an extensive explosives manufacturing and storage capacity.
A majority of the heritage buildings surviving in Australia associated with either the manufacture of explosives, particularly cordite, and the military storage of such, relate strongly to World War II.
These include the Frances Bay and Snake Creek magazines in the Northern Territory, and the Smithfield Magazine Area in South Australia.
Explosives manufacturing sites included the explosives factories at Salisbury, South Australia, and Leightonfield (now Villawood Immigration Depot), New South Wales and Albion in Victoria.
It is likely that the Enoggera Magazine Complex is the oldest Commonwealth explosives storage facility in Australia remaining in Commonwealth hands, having serviced Australian military needs for both World Wars and major conflicts since.
Its continuous use as a munitions storage facility since 1911 is made more significant by its status as one of the oldest sets of buildings in the Enoggera military area, which was one of the Commonwealth's first major purpose built Army bases, established in 1908.
The Enoggera magazine complex is set in an isolated part of the Gallipoli Barracks area, reflecting safety requirements in the event of accidental ignition of explosive materials.
The complex is designed and ideally suited for its immediate environment, making strong use of natural slopes and ridges to minimize explosion risks.
A single road, Inwood Road, runs directly through the centre of the group and a high-security fence guards the perimeter of the area.
There is also some landscape evidence of a trolley system running between magazine buildings and the laboratory, from the earlier periods of the site.
The views from the site, especially the sense of isolation, are significant in interpreting the past function of the site, although these are slightly impacted now by the recent construction of a military medical facility to the west of the site, although this is minimised by tree growth.
Although designed and built over a number of consecutive years, the buildings in the complex display a strong similarity in appearance and design, probably due to their shared purpose.
Nonetheless, three distinct group types can be discerned within the complex, which also reflect the batches in which they were built.
They face southwest, are set into the slope of the ridge and are situated at distance of 44 metres apart, to prevent an explosion in one magazine igniting the other.
The two cordite magazines are structurally almost identical, constructed using cavity brick walls and provided with a double roof to facilitate natural ventilation and insulation.
Each building is surrounded by an insulation corridor and verandah surrounded on three sides by a concrete berm set into the side of the slope.
Internally, the floors are float-finished concrete slabs coated with a gritless asphalt surface, which was apparently designed to reduce the chance of sparks emanating from hobnail boots.
The double ceilings feature an internal insulator of tongue and groove boards lined with asbestos sheeting supported by a frame of timber trusses.
Above this, each building has its corrugated iron roof frame, also lined with tongue and groove timber, supported by the building's walls.
The double roof and ventilation system provides an essential response to Brisbane's sub-tropical climate, providing a well-designed natural cooling and ventilation system.
It is set approximately 60 metres from the closest cordite store, building K16, and about 35 metres from the closest ammunition store, K35.
The building is slightly cut into gently sloping ground and although it is considerably smaller, it strongly reflects the style, composition and design of the earlier and later magazine buildings.
The interior is subdivided into three compartments by cavity red brick walls; a series of low arches at intervals along the walls denote receiving hatches for each room.
One of the key features of this building is the cartridge filling room, provided with weighing and work benches along one the walls.
The ammunition magazines (K33-37), constructed in 1913 and 1914, are spaced at intervals of 14.6m apart, sited and stepping up along a ridge to the south of the laboratory.
The design utilises the natural slope, with the magazines set into its side, in much the same way as K16 and K 18.
The front of each building is exposed fully at natural ground level, while the sides are built into the earthen bank.
Additional fill has been added to increase the natural ground level so that it is horizontally aligned with the tops of the magazine walls.
The Enoggera Magazine Complex, constructed between 1911 and 1915, is significant for its service as an explosives and munitions storage area for the Commonwealth defence forces, through two World Wars and numerous other conflicts until the present.
The Enoggera Magazine Complex, constructed between 1911 and 1915, is significant for its service as an explosives and munitions storage area for the Commonwealth defence forces, through two World Wars and numerous other conflicts until the present.
It is an integral component of the history of the Gallipoli Barracks, formerly Enoggera Army Base, which was Queensland's major military training base for much of the twentieth century.
The magazine complex, including the landscape, the cordite stores, the munitions stores (K33-37) and the explosives laboratory (K12), forms a complete and highly intact example of explosives storage methods from 1911.
The magazine complex is a good example of Pye's work and an important historic example of military construction undertaken by the State at the behest of the Commonwealth in the early post-Federation period.
The complex is possibly the oldest continuously used explosives storage area to have been constructed for the unified Commonwealth defence forces after Federation, reflecting the development of a Commonwealth munitions production capability in the years before World War One.
The integrity and authenticity of these designs is enhanced by the continuity of function and lack of active development of the buildings or their setting since 1911.
The location of the complex in an isolated pocket of the army base, the building of the magazines into the side of existing ridges and rises, and the safety distances between structures are a key feature of the landscape design.
The buildings themselves illustrate specific solutions to the functional and safety requirements of the site, including surrounding reinforced concrete berms, cavity brick construction, gritless asphalt floors, as well as a astute ventilation design, featuring wrap-around verandas, double roofing and ventilators along the length of the roofs.
Along with AB Brady and JS Murdoch, Pye was part of a prolific period of public works in Queensland between 1890 and 1920, to designs by the Queensland Government Architect's office on behalf of the State and the new Commonwealth.

Nathaniel William Werry (1847 – 26 May 1907) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Wellington between 1874 and 1884.
In 1871 his big hitting virtually won the match against Nelson on his own, scoring 15 not out and 22 not out, the two top scores in a match in which 35 wickets fell for 169 runs in one day.
His best innings came when the touring English team played three matches on the way home from Australia in 1888, including a match against a Wellington XXII.
There was insufficient time left after his innings for the English team to make the runs required to win, and the match was drawn.
He later served as a vice-president of the Wellington Cricket Association, and was also connected with several other sporting organisations in Wellington.
In 1878 he left his position as Record Clerk in the Public Works Department to take up the position of Chief Clerk in the Railway Department.
Spawning takes place during the winter, beginning in late August and ending in May, and appears to occur throughout the distribution of the species rather than a central location.
General Secretary Xi Jinping's kindness we never forget (), is a song praising Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, which is composed by Li Changping.
He most recently competed part-time in the ARCA Menards Series and the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series for Mason Mitchell Motorsports, Cunningham Motorsports, and Athenian Motorsports in 2016.
After making his ARCA debut at Nashville, Mason Mitchell Motorsports announced that Boswell would run an additional six races with the team in the No.
When John Wes Townley got a concussion before the Truck Series race at Eldora, Boswell was selected to fill in for him that weekend in his Athenian Motorsports team's No.
Boswell ran one more race for the team at Homestead that year, when Townley was injured again, this time to his ankle.
He qualified in the top-10 (starting ninth) and finished 19th and on the lead lap at the end of the race.
That race ended up being Athenian Motorsports' last race because they ended up shutting down over the offseason when Townley announced his retirement from racing.
He is from Watkinsville, Georgia, which is the same town where John Wes Townley is from, which is the reason Townley picked him to fill in for him at the truck race at Eldora in 2016 when he was injured with a concussion.
In 2017, he joined the Shade Foundation as an ambassador for their foundation, which raises awareness to children about skin cancer and sun safety.
The reserve supports a diverse range of plant communities from estuarine, strand (including coastal marshes and pockets of rainforest), wetlands, heath, tall shrublands and woodlands, to the open forests of the sub-coastal hills and ranges.
The Wide Bay area is a military training area and has been used intensively by artillery regiments and infantry battalions employing armoured vehicles.
The Wide Bay area is the northernmost extension of the Cooloola sand dune mass, deposited intermittently with changing sea levels, over the last 150,000 years.
The oldest dunes, in the central portion of the Wide Bay area, have been weathered and partially inundated to form a low lying undulating landscape.
These wetter areas are known as wallum, and are dominated by open sedgeland and Banksia heathland, which grade into patchy forests and woodland on the upper dune slopes and crests.
The old dunes are underlain by coarse grained Triassic (200 million year old) sandstones which outcrop in the western section of the Wide Bay area in the form of dissected ridges of moderate relief.
The eastern section of the Wide Bay area consists of recent dunes less than 10,000 years old and tidal channels and flats.
The seaward side of the Wide Bay Area is continuous with the Great Sandy Strait region, which is heritage-listed in its own right.
As at 1988, the area was in good to excellent condition; however some areas have been disturbed by military exercises within the training areas, and at the settlement at Camp Kerr.
Some exotic cover crops are used by the army to minimise soil erosion following exercises but these have not as yet become invasive.
The Wide Bay Military Reserve supports a diverse range of plant communities from estuarine, strand (including coastal marshes and pockets of rainforest), wetlands, heath, tall shrublands and woodlands, to the open forests of the sub-coastal hills and ranges.
The intertidal areas are an integral part of the Great Sandy Strait, which is one of the most important wader habitats in Queensland.
Wide Bay Military Reserve was listed on the Australian Commonwealth Heritage List on 22 June 2004 having satisfied the following criteria.
Patches of coastal rainforest in the far north-east of the area are a valuable remnant of a once widespread coastal vegetation complex.
Vegetation communities within the area are of high integrity and diversity, and include closed to open forests, woodlands, heath species with shrubs and low trees with Wallum indicator species such as Banksia aemula, and B.robur, and littoral vegetation.
Communities of particular interest include: the estuarine/littoral vegetation sequence, representative of much of the coastal region of south-east Queensland, with mangrove forests, exposed salt pans, coastal marshes, and tea-tree swamps; and the coastal dune rainforest complex which has remained in unusually good condition due to its relative inaccessibility; the rainforest represents a complex that was once widespread along the Queensland coast.

Mimmo (Domenico) Cozzolino is an Australian graphic designer and photo media artist best known for his gently satirical design and research on Australian historic trademarks.
With his father Michele, a printer, and mother Chiara, his family lived on the top floor of a 19th century palazzo.
The Cozzolino family disembarked in Melbourne and were transferred to the Bonegilla Migrant Reception and Training Centre and after his father found work in Melbourne as a letterpress machinist, quickly moved to rented rooms in Kensington and Fairfield then a house in Alphington.
In 1965 they commenced purchase of a Housing Commission house in West Heidelberg where Cozzolino attended the Technical School from which he graduated as dux of the school.
He studied for a civil engineering diploma at Preston College and there met art student Con Aslanis who was later to become his work partner.
Having passed the first year of civil engineering and being awarded a scholarship he instead enrolled in 1968 in the design diploma at Prahran College, taking photography as an elective.
In his final year in 1970 Cozzolino was awarded $1000 as the winner of the international Sugarmark competition, after coming second in a competition for a milk carton design earlier in the year.
He returned to Melbourne for a position as assistant to Eric Maguire, NAS Advertising, before starting his own business in partnership with Con Aslanis.
From late 1972 they traded as All Australian Graphics, for which Aslanis created their mascot and brand, the fictitious Greek man/Australian kangaroo hybrid ‘Kevin Pappas’.
The pair taught design at Phillip Institute of Technology, Bundoora, under Max Ripper and saved to spend 1974 backpacking, mostly together, in Southeast Asia and Europe.
On return to Australia in 1975, the Prahran College friends Izi Marmur and Geoff Cook joined the partners’ freelance studio renaming it All Australian Graffiti (AAG), joined a few months later at 20/562 St Kilda Road, Melbourne by Neil Curtis and Tony Ward (a former lecturer of theirs at Prahran).
In 1976 a further addition to the advertising design and illustration cooperative was Meg Williams, who had been taught by Cozzolino and Aslanis at Phillip institute.
Their number made the group the largest illustration design studio in Australia at the time, inviting comparison with the US Push Pin Studios.
For the promotion of their distinctively Greek-Australian profile, the group designed giveaways in the form of postcards, gingerbread biscuits in the shape of ‘Kevin Pappas’, a poster on an Anzac theme, and one to celebrate the Centenary of The Ashes being played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in March 1977.
Cozzolino was photographed in a half-suit of kangaroo legs by Rennie Ellis and after a promotional tour of major cities, the costume made a reappearance on top-rating television.
The publicity effected a dramatic increase in business to a point where the pressure caused the group to break up, after which each resumed individual freelancing.
With savings and the financial and moral support of his wife Sue, Cozzolino devoted himself to a book project he had conceived as a student; to assemble a visual encyclopaedic survey of Australian historic trademarks.
He trawled state and national library collections and trademark registers to index the symbols of a majority of Australian brands, and with the help of volunteer assistants and a partner in advertising copywriter Fysh Rutherford they produced a design which they planned to self-publish.
After both hardback (1,000 copies) and paperback (14-15,000) were sold out within the first four years, the book was re-released in a revised colour edition in 1987.
After publishing a book that continued to generate interest well after 1980, Cozzolino joined David Hughes, with whom he lectured part time at RMIT to register Cozzolino Hughes Design (CHD) at a studio in South Melbourne, and received corporate design work from Shell.
There, he concentrated on negotiating with clients and management of projects rather than design; ‘I don’t relish the negotiating skills and organisational approach that you must take to any educational task, and major corporate projects are totally education tasks.
Through media appearances and in interviews and texts, Cozzolino continues to be consulted for perspectives and commentary on Australian symbols, design, language, and the migrant experience.
In 1987 Cozzolino joined with Wayne Rankin, Stephen Huxley and others in launching a national professional association for graphic designers Australian Graphic Design Association (AGDA).
Benjamin Gallagher (August 6, 1840 – March 23, 1900) was an American politician who served as the 1st Auditor of the Wyoming Territory as a Democrat.
In 1862 he moved to the Nebraska Territory where he was appointed as post trader at Fort McPherson and later to Cheyenne in the Wyoming Territory.
On May 25, 1869 he served as one of the Grand Jurors on the first court of Cheyenne and later ran as a member of the People's Party for city council before joining the Democratic Party.
He was appointed as Auditior of the Territory by Territorial Governor John Allen Campbell and took the oath of office on December 11, 1869 and served until June 4, 1870.
The mosque's street facade is marked by a doorway in the shape of a horseshoe arch, which is overshadowed by an ornately-carved wooden canopy.
The interior layout of the mosque features a small square courtyard flanked by galleries on two sides and by the main prayer hall to the south.
On 23 March 1918 he was elected as a member of the Western Australia Legislative Council, representing the Metropolitan Province until his death on 16 September 1941.
The council covers the following five territories in Kota Tinggi District: Pengerang, Tanjung Surat, Johor Lama, Pantai Timur and Sedili Kecil.
Previously known as Pengerang Local Authority (Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan Pengerang) where it was upgraded to municipality status as Pengerang Municipal Council (Majlis Perbandaran Pengerang, MPP) on 1 January 2020.
Kolateral () is a studio rap album by Sandata, a group headed by Filipino rap artists and activists BLKD and Calix.
The album uses themes of art, activism, and protest and is a product of two-years worth of research from the stories of the victims, data gathered, and other information.
The Philippine Drug War, which is the ongoing drug policy of the Philippine government under President Duterte, has been pointed out by critics on its effects on the human rights situation of the Philippines.
The next three tracks and the sixth track offer narratives regarding the effects of the drug war on the lives of affected sectors.
Her nineteen year-old son, named Raymart, was abducted and killed on March 29, 2017 because their neighbor accused him of peddling marijuana.
Under the internet label NOFACE Records, the entirety of the album was released digitally and can be streamed on Spotify, Apple Music, and Youtube.
The album cover was a photograph by Kimberly dela Cruz of a mural of Archie Oclos in Sitio San Roque, an urban poor community in Quezon City that is said to have also experienced cases of killings relating to the drug war.
BLKD encouraged his followers on twitter to integrate with the community as it also faces threats of demolitions to give way to a mixed-use central business district by Ayala Land, called Vertis North.
Sandata has been going around schools, music bars, and other venues to spread the message of the album and to obtain assistance for the victims of the drug war.
The 1st Army of the Yugoslav Partisans was a Partisan army that operated in Yugoslavia during the last months of the Second World War.
The Army was first formed from the 1st Proletarian Corps (1st, 5th, 6th, 11th, and 21st Divisions), and on 3 April the 15th Corps (42th and 48th Divisions) and several independent divisions and brigades (22nd, 2nd, 17th Divisions and 2nd Tank Brigade) were added.
It first fought on the Syrmian Front, and after its breakthrough in mid-April, liberated the western part of Yugoslavia with other units of the Yugoslav army.
Then, with four divisions, it liberated northern Slovenia, encircled and captured the enemy Army and reached the Austrian border on 13 May.
There, along with units of the 2nd and 3rd Armies and 4th Operational Zone, it participated in the last battles of World War II on European soil, more than a week after the German surrender on 8 May.
It was first released on the duo's own label Smokin Beats in 1996, then released as an official single on the AM:PM label in 1997, containing remixes by Erick Morillo, Ian Pooley and Kings of Tomorrow.
In 2015, a set of remixes was released on Hot Source Records containing mixes by artists such as Tough Love, DJ Q, Oxide & Neutrino, Low Steppa, and drum & bass producers Upgrade and Klax.

Savarkar: Echoes from a Forgotten Past, 1883–1924 is the first volume of a two-part biography about Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, written by biographer Vikram Sampath and published by Penguin Viking.
The book tells how Savarkar was an atheist, rationalist, who strongly opposed orthodox Hindu beliefs and to whom Hinduism was a genetic and political force inbuilt into Hindus.
Bal Gangadhar Tilak's recommendation helped get him a scholarship to London where he spent five years; in London he built a network of revolutionaries across Europe and helped provide the intellectual basis for the movement.
Sampath says that a motivation to write the book was that no comprehensive biography of Savarkar had been written since the 1960s, yet Savarkar was used in political discourse often, where the demand to give Savarkar a Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award, had even been brought up recently.
During the launch of the book, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, said that every school and college in the state should have the book, and that every MP and MLA should read the book too.
Narendra Modi, the incumbent Prime Minister of India (and leader of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, which largely subscribes to Savarkar's ideology) praised the work.
TCA Srinivasa Raghavan, former Indian diplomat and current Director General of the Indian Council of World Affairs noted it to be a must read no-nonsense book over a review at Calcutta Telegraph.
In a review of the book at the Open Magazine, historian Manu S. Pillai praised Sampath's meticulous research and gathering of source materials to have aided in a definitive charting of his early years.
and noted of him to have persuasively laid out the case of Savarkar as a martyr who sacrificed his youth for the cause of the nation.
However, Pillai sharply criticized the methodologies of his scholarship especially the uncritical acceptance of Savarkar's self-laudatory memoirs, some written years after the incidents.
He rejected Sampath's acceptance of Savarkar's mercy petitions as a shrewd strategy that ran parallel to the plot by Shivaji, in that Savarkar stuck to his promises of absolute cooperation until his death and refused to be associated with acts of rebellion, anymore.
Pillai also notes Sampath to have not achieved the necessary distance of separation, required for penning an objective non-eulogizing biography; he remained in Savarkar's awe for much of the spans.
She praised Sampath's meticulously through research but noted the work to be a wholly uncritical biography, with him doing very little to distance from the subject and accepting every primary source at face-value.
His interpretation of concurrent historical events were also faulted as non-objective and lacking of the recent radical developments in relevant scholarship.
Madhav Khosla, professor of Political Science at Ashoka University noted the work to be detailed over a review at The Hindustan Times.
Krzysztof Iwanek, Asia editor for The Diplomat and chair of the Asia Research Centre at the National Defence University of Warsaw noted the work to be extraordinarily detailed and containing hitherto unpublished information; however he found the work to be largely evasive on Savarkar's views about Muslims and sympathetic to his overall cause.
The fear of a Japanese invasion of Australia after 1942 brought about a frantically redoubled building effort around Australia to accommodate the increased requirements of Allied troops, equipment and support networks.
This was a period when conventional design and construction methods were abandoned in favour of those that were more resource and cost efficient.
With the start of conflict in Europe in 1939 Australia began to expand its military infrastructure in preparation for its role in the war.
After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, with a Japanese invasion of Australia looming, a massive increase of Australian and other Allied troops (mostly American) and equipment occurred, prompting the need for further infrastructure.
Building needs during this period were met by a merger of the Allied Works Council (AWC) and the Works and Services Branch of the Department of the Interior which, by 1943, employed over 4,500 staff.
These works initially used contract labour but, after 1943 relied on the labour of the Civil Construction Corps, which had enrolled over 50,000 men.
The AWC subsequently experimented with design form and construction technology to come up with a series of new designs for hangars and large warehouses.
Initially, a number of 130 ft clear span timber framed hangars were constructed at Tocumwal, New South Wales, and other locations shortly after.
While the glue laminating process proved too involved and intensive for the AWC's needs, the timber frames with shear connectors were adapted for several other styles of large buildings, including the W3 type seen at Macrossan.
By 1944 the threat of invasion had subsided, and construction efforts were maintained primarily in the north of the country, to support Australian and US forces pressing on with the war in the Pacific.
The AWC placed great emphasis on the prefabrication of buildings in southern states to be used by troops in the north, as well as in the Pacific Islands and south-east Asia.
Macrossan Stores Depot (RAAF No 8 Stores Depot) was established in 1942, on land resumed from the Costello family's Fanning Downs Pastoral lease, originally selected by John Melton Black in 1861.
It was initially established as an air base, in response to fears of Japanese invasion, and realisation that Japanese air capabilities placed Australia within range of air attack.
Early in 1942 a number of airfields were established at strategic points near the Great Northern Railway, running west from Townsville.
Two airstrips were cleared at Macrossan in April 1942, intended to take American fighter aircraft, although only the northern strip was fully developed.
When the war effort began to turn in favour of the allied forces, airfield construction moved further north, and the air base facilities at Macrossan were never completed, although two fighter squadrons, the 84 and 86 RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force), were stationed there for short periods.
Macrossan's emphasis subsequently shifted to that of a major stores depot, being proclaimed RAAF No 8 Stores Depot in April 1943.
The RAAF operated 10 stores depots during World War II: No 1 Sandridge (Victoria), No 2 Waterloo (New South Wales), No 3 Brisbane (Queensland), No 4 Merredin (Western Australia), No 6 Dubbo (New South Wales), No 7 Drayton (Queensland), No 8 Macrossan (Queensland), No 9 Daly Waters (Northern Territory) and No 10 Maylands (Western Australia).
Most of these were ultimately only temporary and were disbanded within a decade of the end of the war, with the exception of Dubbo, Sandridge, Waterloo and Drayton.
To facilitate the shift to a stores depot two very large general-purpose storage buildings were built side by side to the north of the airstrips for the RAAF.
In 1944 the base featured the Bellman hangars, four 200 ft by 100 ft igloo warehouses, the two 300 ft by 230ft RAAF ordnance igloo stores (buildings 50 and 51) and three smaller store buildings.
A commitment to the site for post-war military use resulted in formal acquisition of the land by the Australian Government in 1949.
It consists of a large irregular area, including the still-serviceable northern wartime airstrip, the railway spur line, Warehouse 11, four smaller store buildings (including three Bellman hangars) and several houses.
Several examples of this design type, known as W3, were constructed in Australia in 1942 and 1943, all sharing the same characteristics; these included a parabolic arch shape, engineered timber framing, unlined internal walls, external envelope in galvanised iron sheeting and a timber or concrete floor.
Warehouse 11 was erected as a standard RAAF ordnance store with a large segmented truss roof structure with five longitudinal rows of solid hardwood columns supporting transverse segmented Pratt trusses.
Other RAAF ordnance stores of this type were located at RAAF stores depots at Dubbo (New South Wales), Drayton (Queensland) and Merredin (Western Australia).
Apart from Warehouse 11 at Macrossan, only the five W3 structures that were constructed at the former Dubbo RAAF No 5 Stores Depot have survived.
The Dubbo buildings have maintained a strong context in relation to each other and the other surviving buildings at this site.
Warehouse 11 measures , with the longer sides forming the springing point for the igloo style vaulted timber truss structure, which is clad in corrugated galvanised iron.
Exterior asphalt aprons cater for the latter function with railway lines still in place internally at the rear of the building.
The outside rows of posts are single-posted, the two inner rows are double-posted while the centre row is composed of three posts bracketed together.
With the need to use timber instead of steel, a prefabricated timber framed version was developed by the Division of Forest Products at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
The Bellman Hangars at Macrossan are of this same type, comparable to the example at Jezzine Barracks in Townsville, and probably those at the former RAAF No 6 Stores Depot at Dubbo, which are .
While Bellman hangars were once common at RAAF facilities around Australia, they are now increasingly rare, having been removed, destroyed, or sold out of Commonwealth hands.
There are perhaps no more than 25 examples remaining around Australia in Commonwealth hands, including those at Macrossan, Dubbo, Jezzine, RAAF Base Townsville, RAAF Base Amberley, RAAF Base Laverton, RAAF Base Point Cook and RAAF Base Tindal.
Timber shutters in the two administrative areas have been replaced with glass louvres, some corrugated iron has been replaced with green fibreglassed corrugated material to allow for more light to enter the building, and fixed timber louvres have been replaced with aluminium louvres below the windows along the short sides.
Macrossan Stores Depot Group was listed on the Australian Commonwealth Heritage List on 22 June 2004 having satisfied the following criteria.
The Macrossan Stores Depot (former RAAF No 8 Stores Depot) is significant for its role in the development of defensive infrastructure across Australia following Japan's entry into World War 2 in 1942.
It also comprises archaeological evidence of the World War 2 air base, with a still-serviceable landing strip, and remnants of the taxiways, embankments and building foundations.
The site was established as a base for fighter squadrons in 1942, during initial fears of Japanese invasion and air attack over northern Queensland.
After the initial danger had subsided the site was established as RAAF No 8 Stores Depot, continuing to make a contribution to the RAAF's operations, as well as acting as the occasional base for the 84 and 86 RAAF fighter squadrons.
After 1956 the depot was transferred to the Army and has operated as its main supplies depot in northern Queensland ever since.
Warehouse 11 and the three Bellman hangars at the Macrossan Stores Depot, are important for their association with the development of defensive infrastructure across Australia following Japan's entry into the Second World War and the arrival of American forces in Australia in 1942.
Although these prefabricated hangars were common buildings during World War Two there are now believed to be no more than two dozen of these surviving in Defence ownership in Australia today.
Warehouse 11, in particular, is significant for its ability to demonstrate the innovative experimental technology explored by Allied Works Council and the Department of the Interior in an effort to produce large buildings using unseasoned hardwood instead of steel framing.
Steris is operationally headquartered in Mentor, Ohio, but has been legally registered since 2018 in Dublin, Ireland for tax purposes; it was previously registered in the United Kingdom from 2014–2018.
On April 1, 2014, Steris announced its acquisition of Integrated Medical Systems International Inc. for ~$175 million, although it would only cost the company ~$140 million after tax benefits.
In October 2014, Steris executed a tax inversion from the United States to the United Kingdom, via an offer made to acquire UK-based Synergy Health for $1.9 billion.
On June 24, 2015, Steris announced the acquisitions of General Econopak for $175 million and Black Diamond Video for $51 million.
In November 2018, Steris announced that it would further re-domicile its legal headquarters from the United Kingdom to Ireland; Steris had reduced its corporate tax rate from 31.3 percent to 20 percent as a result of its 2014 tax inversion to the United Kingdom, however, it believed a further reduction could be achieved by moving to Ireland.
Steris' 2018 filed accounts showed global revenues of over USD 2.6 billion, of which USD 1.8 billion (or 70 percent), came from the US healthcare system; and employed ~12,000 people.

Operation Otto was a joint operation of the Wehrmacht and NDH forces against partisans in the Grmeč area in Bosnia, Yugoslavia during the Second World War.
Operation Otto was a concentric attack from Bosanski Novi, Bosanska Krupa, Bosanski Petrovac, Ključ and Sanski Most, which began on April 20, 1943.
Parts of the 114th Jäger Division (Wehrmacht), reinforced with Croat Regiments tried to destroy the 4th Partisan Infantry Division.<br> However, by skillfully maneuvering and infiltrating into the back of the invading forces, this division avoided destruction, and after five days the operation was stopped.
Following Operation Otto, a NOVJ force of some 900 men withdrew to the Bihać area and threatened the Bihać - Bosanska Krupa road.
It is located east of Wellston at the intersection of Hollingshead Road (County Route 40) and Mulga Road (County Route 39), just off Ohio State Route 32, at .

The fort is important in Australian military history as a strategic coastal defence installation in the period of transition from British to Australian responsibility for defence.
The Green Hill Fort complex on Thursday Island was constructed between 1891-93 as part of the Imperial and colonial whole-of-Australia defence in the lead up to Federation.
New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia contributed to the cost of construction, Britain supplied the armament, and Queensland funded and supplied the garrison.
The office of the Queensland Colonial Architect appears to have prepared the plans for the 1890s underground magazines and store rooms, and certainly did so for the barracks and several early 20th century additions.
The importance of Torres Strait to British and Australian colonial trade and defence had been identified from at least the late 1830s.
The strategic significance of the Strait was recognised officially from 1860, when both the British government and the newly established Queensland government agreed in principle to establish a port on Cape York, and that there should be a military presence in the far north of Queensland.
Somerset, on the eastern tip of Cape York, was established in 1864 by the Queensland government as a haven of refuge and coal and supply depot.
In August 1872 Queensland annexed the islands of the Torres Strait and the Queensland government decided to remove its official settlement at Somerset to a more central location along the main shipping route through the Strait, which was the principal trade route to Asia and England.
In 1877 the Queensland government removed its official port of refuge from Somerset to Thursday Island (Port Kennedy), and it became a busy port servicing passenger and trade vessels passing through Torres Strait.
In 1877 the colonial governments of New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia, anxious to secure the land defence of their coastlines, jointly invited British Royal Engineer Colonel Sir William Jervois, assisted by Lieutenant-Colonel Peter H Scratchley, to inspect existing defence installations and recommend how they might be improved.
Accompanied by Scratchley Jervois completed his investigation of New South Wales defences by the end of May and planned to go to the other colonies.
At Melbourne in June he was notified of his promotion to Governor of the Colony of South Australia (he had been Governor of the Straits Settlements in Malaya).
After Jervois was appointed governor of South Australia, Scratchley became commissioner of defences in 1878, covering in time all six colonies and New Zealand.
Scrtachley believed that land defence works should be near key ports, advocated torpedoes for offence and submarine mines for defence, supported the obstruction of shipping channels and argued for a limited number of paid volunteers, sufficient to repel minor invasions.
The clearest statements of his views appear in the evidence he gave to the 1881 Commission on New South Wales Defences, of which he was vice-president and chairman of the military sub-committee.
Scratchley retired from active military service on 1 October 1882 as honorary major-general, but was still employed by the Colonial Office as defence adviser for Australia.
Jervois had identified the principal threat to Queensland security as an attack from the sea on the major ports (Brisbane, Rockhampton and Maryborough), to secure supplies and coal, not permanent occupation.
Recognising the strategic position of Thursday Island at the northern entrance to Australian waters, he suggested a telegraph station be established there.
Britain's failure to support Queensland's annexation of New Guinea in 1883, and the subsequent claiming of New Guinean territory by Germany and Britain, was followed by the 1885 confrontation between Britain and Russia, which almost resulted in open conflict.
Colonial security again became an issue and galvanised both Britain and the Australian colonies into recognising that securing the coaling stations at King George's Sound in Western Australia and at Thursday Island was fundamental to the defence of Australia.
Defence became caught up in the federation debate, and only after New South Wales Premier Sir Henry Parkes announced his support for federation in October 1889, was it possible to properly address the question of national defence.
At the Federation Conference of February 1890 a Colonial Defence Committee was formed and the colonies agreed to jointly fund construction of fortifications at King George's Sound and Thursday Island and to accept Britain's offer to arm these forts.
The 1891 recommendations of the Colonial Defence Committee were approved by Britain and accepted by the colonial governments almost immediately, with Queensland agreeing to advance the money for construction and to recoup contributions from the other participating colonies.
Major Edward Druitt RE of the Queensland Permanent Artillery, who oversaw construction of the Kissing Point fortifications in Townsville and made an important contribution to Queensland defence in the late 19th century, was in charge of the works.
Victoria Barracks, a canteen, sergeants' mess, gun shed, guard house, and two concrete-lined underground water tanks were completed in January 1893 and the guns had been received from England by May 1893.
In June 1893 a detachment of two officers and 30 men from the A Battery of the Queensland Permanent Artillery arrived at Thursday Island to take up duties.
From its completion it was clear that Green Hill Fort was designed to protect the coaling station at Port Kennedy, not to defend Torres Strait.
Late 19th century changes in military and naval technology, including longer range weapons, and ironclad cruisers made Green Hill Fort, from its inception, obsolete for anything other than protecting the coaling station.
To upgrade the defence of the strait, a 4.7” gun was installed on Milman Hill in 1897, the garrison was increased from 30 to 45 and 30 local volunteers formed the Thursday Island Detachment of the North Queensland Garrison Battery.
Improvements were made to the Green Hill battery in 1912, including a new underground powder magazine, an air-conditioning system for the cordite store, and a laboratory outside the fort gate.
Thursday Island was placed on full alert at the outbreak of the World War I, but as the German threat in the Indian and Pacific Oceans subsided after 1915 the Thursday Island garrison was removed to active service.
The civilian population was evacuated and Green Hill Fort was used as a signals and wireless station and ammunition store for Australian and American forces.
Green Hill Fort has served no military purpose since World War II, but in 1954 the Bureau of Meteorology established a weather station inside the fort which operated until 1993 as part of a national weather reporting system.
The Commonwealth provided a Centenary of Federation grant of $572,000, and additional funding of $124,000 was raised to conserve and restore the fort.
Green Hill Fort is now owned by the Torres Strait Regional Authority, an independent agency within the portfolio for Indigenous Affairs, which reports directly to the Commonwealth Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.
Green Hill Fort is at about 16ha, 1.5km west-south-west of Thursday Island town, comprising all of Lot 9 SP133779, including all structures and formations associated with the fortifications at the summit of Green Hill.
Green Hill Fort complex is situated on the western end of the high ridge that forms the east-west spine of Thursday Island.
It comprises three principal areas: the fortifications at the western end of the ridge and the surrounding landscape; a small, densely forested saddle between two small knolls in the ridge to the east of the fortifications; and further east still the former barracks site and surrounding landscape.
The battery, located on the top of Green Hill, offers a panoramic view of 270º over Thursday Island harbour and Horn Island to the south, the boat channel and Prince of Wales Island to the southwest, Friday and Goode Islands and the passages to the west, and north over the Aplin Pass boat channel and Hammond Island.
The principal elements of the fortifications include the embankments and terreplein on which the battery is constructed, three external gun emplacements, with working platforms sunk behind protective abutment walls, and associated structures including the sunken observation pit and access walkway.
A partly sealed road leads to the battery and the ridge drops steeply on three sides from the top of the hill.
This site is on a separate lot and is not included in the listing boundary for the Green Hill Fort complex.
The forest area comprises a distinct mix of indigenous wet tropical forest trees and exotic species, planted or self-sown, evidence of the complex layers of human occupation of the island.
A small cleared area at the western extent of the forest may be associated with the Kaurareg people or with late 19th century Chinese market gardening.
A conservation and restoration project completed in 2002, funded by a Centenary of Federation grant, undertook work on the three 6-inch BL guns and broke out the artillery room door, which had been concreted in, and fitted a suitable timber door.
The south-eastern ramparts had been affected by erosion and the erection of the timber and fibro Bureau of Meteorology office in the 1950s.
The office was considered to have a severe impact on the view of the fort and had been removed in 1999 after being severely vandalised.
Reinstatement of the ramparts was considered a major task and difficult to maintain, and a low heritage and visual impact public viewing area was constructed on the site of the weather station.
Power lines which had a serious impact on the heritage values of the site were relocated to the saddle north of the fort; internal power was upgraded, mains water provided, and telephone lines to the fort re-sited, all via a trench.
Architectural upgrades to doors and sash windows, and installation of ventilation fans and a toilet were undertaken to meet the requirements for visitor facilities.
Green Hill Fort is important in Australian military history as a strategic coastal defence installation in the period of transition from British to Australian responsibility for defence.
The three 6-inch BL gun emplacements on their sunken working platforms behind protective abutment walls, and associated structures are an intact example of 19th century military fortifications developed when the Australian colonies were assuming responsibility for national defence.
There has been little subsequent alteration to the fabric of the fort, and this facilitates an appreciation of the work of Jervois, Scratchley and Druit, and its importance in Australian military history.
A number of coastal forts were built in Australia during the second half of the 19th century and early 20th century.
A number of coastal forts were built in the second half of the 19th century and early 20th century and these forts share the characteristics of typical late 19th century British fortifications established at colonial outposts.
The design and layout at Green Hill Fort followed the general design, but unlike other coastal fortification no major adaptations have occurred to the fortifications or other structures in response to changing military technology.
As a result the place has a predominantly intact array of representative 19th century features, including embankments and a terreplein on which the gun batteries were mounted.
There were also external gun emplacements, with working platforms sunk behind protective abutment walls, together with associated structures including sunken observation bunkers, tunnels and tracks for the munitions trolleys that serviced the gun emplacements.
Green Hill Fort has significant heritage value for its associations with Colonel Sir W F D Jervois and Lieutenant-Colonel Peter H Scratchley, whose reports to colonial governments formed the basis of defence planning in Australia from the late 19th century, and with Major Druitt RE of the Queensland Permanent Artillery who was in charge of the works at Green Hill Fort.

2010) is a 2010 Supreme Court of South Dakota civil forfeiture case brought by the American state of South Dakota against fifteen cats that they had seized on the grounds of interfering with a driver's visibility.
The seizure was challenged by the owner and the court found on a 3–2 majority that the seizure was lawful because of the risk to pedestrians as well as to the cats.
On August 13, 2009, a police officer stopped Patricia Edwards who was driving to Texas as she was reversing out of a parking spot and nearly hit the officer's patrol car.
After being told of the plan of the state to put the cats up for adoption and denying her the opportunity to take them back, Edwards challenged the seizure in court.
Edwards then appealed to the South Dakota Supreme Court on the grounds that the seizure violated her constitutional rights, specifically her right to due process and the seizure was done with insufficient evidence.
The State responded by stating that under SDCL 40-1-5, warrentless seizures were lawful if the animals were injured, diseased, suffering or if there were any other exigent circumstances where a delay would cause suffering.
The court ruled that due to the cats being allowed to roam freely in the car while Edwards was driving, they could obstruct driver's windows.
Accordingly, they ruled there was an exigent circumstance as it might have been a child that was almost hit rather than the officer's car.
Edwards had also argued that the evidence was insufficient to support the Circuit Court's ruling as she argued she had kept the cats in humane conditions.
Justices Konekamp and Zinter concurred, with Konekamp writing a concurring opinion but arguing that it was due to the risk to the cats themselves that he agreed the seizure was lawful.
Severson also stated that Edwards was not charged with any traffic offense and that she should have been, had the State intended to rely on her being unable to operate the vehicle as that was their focus in the seizure hearings.
The 4th Corps () was a Yugoslav Partisan corps that fought against the Germans, Independent State of Croatia (NDH) and Chetniks in occupied Democratic Federal Yugoslavia during World War II.

Blackwall Rock was located a short distance upriver of Blackwall Stairs, the southern end of a causeway from Poplar High Street which crossed extensive marshland, between the entrances of the West and East India Docks.
The rock was always a hazard to river traffic, as it sometimes lay less than below the surface at low tide.
The entrance to the West India Docks, just to the south-west of the rock, was substantially obstructed by the reef upon the docks' opening in 1802.
Rees asserted that newspaper reports of one of Thomas Boddington's West Indiaman vessels being wrecked on the rock were incorrect, and that the relatively recent installation of piling and booms prevented ships from coming near the reef.
He surmised that the cost of the rock's removal—even with the use of prison labour—would be £50,000, and was surprised by some contract tenders who proposed fees of little more than £1,000.
He stated that he had been told the rock was first discovered in the early 18th century when an Indiaman was wrecked upon it—possibly retelling the story refuted by Rees in 1802.
Most sources give the rock's dimensions as , and an 1846 report by the Tidal Harbours Commission described it as an outcrop of plum-pudding stone.
The opening of the West and East India Docks in 1802 and 1803 respectively necessitated the removal of the rock, which obstructed safe navigation to their entrances.
He then recommended the use of ordnance; his proposal employed an iron caisson to create a dry working area, with explosives being driven into a hole.
The system would ensure that the explosion would drive the force through the rock, breaking it, rather than forcing the explosive charge back through the drilled hole.
William Jessop was engaged by Trinity House to undertake the rock's removal; he subcontracted Ralph Walker as a consultant and James Spedding as engineer.
This method successfully reduced the height of the rock by , after which a cylindrical coffer dam (also described as being like a diving bell) was employed to allow workers' access to remove rubble.
It has been claimed that he met Shah Jalal at the khanqah of Nizamuddin Auliya in Delhi and then took part alongside him in the 1303 Conquest of Sylhet.

Daughter of actor and director Carlo Simoneschi, she began her acting career when she was very young in Camillo Pilotto's stage company; in the early 1930s she made her film debut, but her inconspicuous physical appearance did not help her in front of the camera.
From the early 1940s until the first half of the 1960s, Simoneschi became one of the most prominent Italian voice actresses, lending her voice to almost all the greatest Hollywood and European divas.
One of Simoneschi's main skills was that of being able to adapt very well to the different acting styles of the numerous actresses to whom she lent her voice.
From 1964 she has also been a dubbing director and kept working in this environment until her retirement in 1976: in forty years of career as a voice actress, Simoneschi is estimated to have given her voice to over five thousand films.

The Rivière de la Place is a tributary of the east bank of the Métabetchouane River, flowing in the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve, in the administrative region of the Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The mouth of Lac des Buttes is located: north-east of the confluence of the Place river and the Métabetchouane River, at north of lac aux Rognons and west of Jacques-Cartier Lake.
From the confluence of the Place river, the current descends the Métabetchouane river north on to the south shore of lac Saint-Jean; from there, the current crosses the latter on towards the northeast, then borrows the course of the Saguenay River via la Petite Landfill on to Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence estuary.
Although primarily known for his sculpture, his first commission, in 1978, was a series of three murals on the gable ends of terraced houses at the eastern end of Heathfield Road, Handsworth, Birmingham, in conjunction with Paula Woof and Steve Field.
Renn, Woof, Field, David Patten and Derek Jones worked jointly as the West Midlands Public Art Collective, which was active circa 1987.
The duo also oversaw artworks added during the 1997 restoration of Jubilee House, High Street, Madeley, as well as contributing a weather vane and a sculpture.
Plans for a Renn-Thacker collaborative sculpture at the junction of the A41 road and the M53 motorway in The Wirral had to be abandoned after the Highways Agency determined that it could cause distraction to drivers and attract pedestrians onto the roadway.
Renn worked from a studio in Lee Bank, Birmingham and after that was closed following local government funding cuts, from a studio at his home in Cookley, Worcestershire.

Later the railroad was acquired by the Missouri Pacific Railroad and part of old right-of-way is operated as part of the Union Pacific Railroad.
Named for its main destinations, Galveston, Houston, and Henderson|Henderson, Texas]], construction of the road began in 1857 and service between Virginia Point, Texas and Houston was available about two years later.
The railway was assisted by Galveston County funding, which financed the construction of a causeway of the broad channel between Virginia Point and Galveston Island.
More recently, most of original Galveston, Houston and Henderson right-of-way running between the Island and Bayou cities has been a property of the Union Pacific Railroad known as the Galveston Subdivision.
The Galveston Subdivision has principal connections to the Houston regional freight network at its junction with the West Belt Subdivision and at its junction with the Union Pacific Railroad Galveston at Virginia Point.
Even though it is mostly single-track with occasional sidings, the Union Pacific reported an average of fifteen to twenty-five trains per day in 2005.
DRDO Young Scientist Laboratories (DYSLs) are five specialised research laboratories located in five different cities of India, inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India on 2 January 2020.
Each laboratory deals with a focused area of science - artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, cognitive technologies, asymmetric technologies and smart materials.
Two of the directors chosen are scientists Parvathaneni Shiva Prasad of the Research Centre Imarat (RCI) and Ramakrishnan Raghavan of the Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL).
The push for the labs came in August 2014 when Narendra Modi suggested DRDO give young talent in India opportunities and leadership abilities in challenging areas of science.
Boyd is a multiple British national champion on the track in the tandem (ten times), seven times with Gary Hibbert, once with Neil Campbell and twice with Dave Heald.
The domestic league, Swiss Serie A 1920–21, was divided into three regional groups, East, Central and West, each group with eight teams.
The other teams playing in this group were the two teams from the capital, Young Boys Bern and FC Bern as well as Aarau, Luzern and Biel-Bienne.
Eight of the first ten games ended in a defeat, in fact the first victory was the eleventh round match against FC Bern.
The Sánchez II Government was formed on 13 January 2020 following Pedro Sánchez's election as Prime Minister of Spain by the Congress of Deputies on 7 January and his swearing-in on 8 January, as a result of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) emerging as the largest parliamentary force at the November 2019 general election.
It succeeded the first Sánchez government and is the incumbent Government of Spain since 13 January 2020, a total of days.
The cabinet comprised members of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) and Unidas Podemos as well as independents proposed by both parties, to become the first nationwide coalition government to be formed in Spain since the Second Spanish Republic.
At 22 ministries, it is the second largest cabinet in Spain since the country's transition to democracy, only behind the Suárez III Government; the first time that a government includes four deputy prime ministers; and the third oldest government to be formed, with a median age of 54.2 upon its formation.
The Council of Ministers is structured into the offices for the prime minister, the four deputy prime ministers, 22 ministries and the post of the spokesperson of the Government.
Pedro Sánchez's second government is organised into several superior and governing units, whose number, powers and hierarchical structure may vary depending on the ministerial department.
Histologically these lesions are characterised by (1) an inflammatory background (2) a prominent myxoid component (3) enlarged atypical cells with prominent nucleoli and (4) often a bizarrely shaped nucleus.
The meat, often accompanied by vegetables, is cooked with heated stones in a sealed milk can (khorkhog) or the deboned body of the animals.
Its goals are to enhance the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and to assist persons with disabilities through awareness raising and impact litigation.
Together with a group of disabled persons, In 2016, Drupis initiated another procedure claiming that the new legislation was still not in line with the Convention.
In months preceding the European Parliament elections of 2019, the Association argued in favor of voting rights of persons with intellectual disabilities..
Drupis is active in a Council of Europe procedure of execution of the judgment Produkcija Plus v. Slovenia, in which the European Court of Human Rights found that lack of public hearings in some Slovenian courts violates rights of the petitioners.
Drupis sent its proposals co-signed by six university professors of the University of Primorska, University of Maribor, Alma Mater Europaea, and Nova University.
Drupis also submitted a third party intervention in the European Court of Human Rights cases Toplak against Slovenia and Mrak against Slovenia.
John W. Donnellan (June 8, 1841 – July 26, 1917) was an American politician who served as the 1st Treasurer of the Wyoming Territory as a Democrat.
John W. Donnellan was born on June 8, 1841 in County Clare, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and his family immigrated to the United States and settled in Cincinnati, Ohio.
In 1861 he joined the 83rd Ohio Infantry and later was made a lieutenant colonel in the 27th Colored Infantry Regiment.
On December 21, 1869 President Ulysses S. Grant appointed him as Treasurer of the Wyoming Territory and served until October 26, 1872.
In 1870 he married Marion J. Donnellan and moved back to Laramie in 1876 where he served as a probate judge.
Afterwards he moved to Salt Lake City and worked for a banking company and then to Sacramento in 1903 due to his wife's poor health.
Sean Lane is an English former professional footballer who played mostly as a striker/midfielder for Hereford United FC and Derby County FC.
Lane moved to play in the National Soccer League in Australia, playing well over 100 games for Preston Macedonia and Brunswick Juventus.
Lane's playing career that showed great promise from very early on, when Lane won selection at 15 in the England Schoolboys side before earning his first professional contract at the age of 16 with Fourth Division club Hereford United FC.
After two seasons with Hereford the young midfielder earned a transfer to Second Division outfit Derby County FC, then coached by the legendary Peter Taylor.
After being released by Derby County Lane's next move was to Australia, acting on an invitation from ex Hereford United colleague Ian Dobson, who was playing football in Melbourne.
His second stint with Preston led to that first experience in coaching when Ollerton fell victim to the team's poor start to the season.
But despite his team losing only five of his thirteen games in charge Lane, at 31, felt he was not ready for coaching and he instead handed over to Norrie Pate before season's end.
In 2016, Brisbane Strikers promoted Youth Men's coach Sean Lane to the club's Head Coach role for the PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues 2017 season.
In 2017, Gold Coast United FC scored a major coup leading into their inaugural NPLQ season in 2018, signing Sean Lane as senior men's coach.
Lane took Brisbane Strikers to the league title in the just-completed NPLQ season, but has opted to join the new Gold Coast franchise.
In 2018, Sean Lane resigned from the position of Head Coach of the Gold Coast United Men's squad at the end of the regular season.
On 6 April 2019, Lane was named as the new Head Coach of Bangladesh Premier League side Dhaka Mohammedan.Mohammedan lost Lane's first league match 4–1 to Bashundhara Kings.
In his first Dhaka Derby in charge, Lane guided Dhaka Mohammedan to their first win in four years with a 4–0 victory over Dhaka Abahani in 2018–19 Bangladesh Premier League.This win also equal their biggest ever Dhaka Derby victory.
On 30 December 2019, Dhaka Mohammedan reached the semifinal of the TVS 31st Federation Cup eliminating Chittagong Abahani by 2-0 goals in the second quarterfinal.
During World War I he opposed war with Germany, making it clear that if war was to be fought he preferred to fight the Entente.
He was also famous in the speedboating world as an amateur speedboat racer, and was profiled in the Nov. 1932 edition of MotorBoating magazine.
Doris May Gentile (; 30 October 1894 – 16 May 1972) was an Australian novelist and short story writer, who travelled and wrote in Africa, Europe and Canada from 1925 until the Second World War.
She was born Doris May Dinham in the Sydney suburb of Woolwich—her parents were English engraver Harry Charles Dinham and his Tasmanian-born wife Ida Margaret Pybus.
Schmidt was a research assistant at the Arnold Schönberg-Institute of the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, the German Academic Exchange Service, Thyssen and the scholarships in Austria, Italy and several times in the USA.
Schmidt has spent many years of teaching (as lecturer, substitute and visiting professor) at universities in Austria, Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands in addition to his academic duties as music journalist, exhibition curator and concert dramaturg.
He is a board member of several foundations and forums, 2010-2017 he was a member of the board of directors of the NCCR Eikones (Basel).
Schmidt's work focuses on the history and aesthetics of music of the 18th to 20th centuries (books on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johannes Brahms, Arnold Schönberg and Ernst Krenek, among others).
Schmidt is also particularly interested in persons and phenomena that lie beyond canonized historiography: for example, he has worked together with students on exhibitions and publications on the composers Felix Weingartner and Yevgeny Gunst as well as on the Swiss origins of the national anthem of Lesotho.
But where Schmidt relied on himself, there were numerous mistakes in his explanations, each of which testified to insufficient knowledge of the music texts.
The Young Country Doctor is a series of books by former general practitioner Vernon Coleman describing the work, life and adventures of a traditional country doctor in the 1970s.
The first book in the series was released as an unabridged digital audio book by Tantor Media in the United States in late 2019 with the following two titles to come in early 2020.
The first book follows the young doctor as he starts work as a GP, develops a romance with Patsy and makes friends in the village.
Several of the Bilbury books were serialised in a number of publications, notably The People's Friend magazine and the Dundee Courier in the UK.
The Métascouac River is a tributary of the east bank of the Métabetchouane River (via the Petit lac Métascouac), flowing in the central west part of the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The surface of the Métascouac River (except the rapids zones) is usually frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March.
The Métascouac river has its source at the mouth of Lac Goulet (length: in the shape of a Y whose mouth (south side) is at the base of the letter; altitude: ).
This landlocked lake is fed by: the outlet (coming from the southwest) from the Ocre and Linaigrettes lakes; the outlet (coming from the west) of Lac Chaillot; the outlet (coming from the northwest) from Lac de la Marge; the outlet (coming from the north-east) from Affatt Lake.
Lee Da-hee and Sung Si-kyung served as hosts on the first day, with Lee Seung-gi and Park So-dam on the second.
Badminton at the 2006 South Asian Games was held in Sugathadasa Indoor Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka between 16 and 22 August 2006.
The badminton programme in 2006 included men's and women's singles competitions; men's, women's and mixed doubles competitions alongside with men's and women's team events.
The former Remount Complex is an important group of early twentieth century Australian Government defence buildings at the former Enoggera Army Camp, now known as Gallipoli Barracks.
A group of five buildings, the Remount Section is a significant link to a famous, almost legendary, tradition of the Australian military: mounted units such as the Light Horse.It was added to the Australian Commonwealth Heritage List on 22 June 2004.
It was responsible for the training of thousands of Queenslanders for service in both World War I and World War II, and subsequent conflicts.
It is believed that British Imperial troops, based at Bulimba on the southern bank of the river, used the area for training exercises from as early as 1855.
Rifle and training ranges, including the old Toowong Rifle Range, were established there and subsequently used by civilian groups such as the Queensland Rifle Association and the Queensland defence forces, including volunteer militia.
After Federation in 1901 the Australian Government became responsible for defence matters, although a fully coordinated national defence force did not arise for a number of years.
Once Commonwealth military units began to be established in earnest, the government began to acquire property on a large-scale to facilitate training and accommodation of its forces.
The acquisition amalgamated four separate properties: Thompson's Paddock, Rifle Paddock, Fraser's Paddock and Bell Paddock, comprising a total of 1235 acres.
The first major improvement made by the Commonwealth was the development of a new rifle range, with mounds targets and shelter sheds.
The initial rifle range development at the site was followed by a prolonged period of initial development of the site, dating into the 1920s.
The School of Musketry, Small Arms Magazine Store and two Cordite Magazines were erected in 1910 as part of a functional complex associated with the rifle range.
Nearly all of these 1910-1913 buildings are believed to have been designed by Thomas Pye, then Deputy Government Architect of the Queensland Public Works Department, under the supervision of A.
From the early 1890s until the end of World War I the Queensland Government Architect's office was prolific in its output of new public buildings for both the Queensland and Commonwealth Governments.
In the early post-Federation years the Queensland Public Works Department often constructed new buildings on behalf of the Commonwealth, which had insufficient resources to undertake many new projects.
A talented team of architects was on hand at various stages during this time, including Brady, Pye and John Smith Murdoch.
During his tenure as Chief Architect, Southern Division, and then Deputy Government Architect, Pye designed or supervised plans for a number of Queensland's more prominent public buildings of the Federation period, including the Rockhampton Customs House, the Stanthorpe Post Office, the Woolloongabba Post Office and the Naval Offices in Brisbane.
Since World War I, the Enoggera site has been constantly developed and expanded in line with the Army's changing requirements, although many of the earliest buildings have survived with their authenticity and integrity largely intact.
The site was used by the Association in the 1850s and 1860s, but another site at Toowong was favoured by the club by the time the Commonwealth acquired the Enoggera properties.
As soon as 1908 the rifle association had returned to Enoggera, seemingly sharing the facilities with the military for a number of years.
By natural extension, and because of the skill many Australians developed in horsemanship, mounted military units figured prominently in the colonies' plans to defend themselves and the Empire.
Defended primarily by Imperial troops and ships in the first seventy years or so of European settlement, by the 1860s most Australian colonies had begun to develop fledgling navies and volunteer militia, in the context of perceived vulnerability to an invasion or annexation from Russia or other antagonistic world powers.
By the 1880s, increased coordination and cooperation between the colonies led to a more focused effort in Australia to prepare for the continent's defence.
One effect of this was the development, in each colony, of professional militia, to be supplemented by volunteers in times of emergency.
From these earliest periods of home-grown defence, the horse has been a significant figure in Australia's military identity, borne on the reputation of the Australian bushman.
Queensland's first colonial militia were raised in 1859, the year of its separation from New South Wales as an independent colony.
At the outbreak of the Boer War, Queensland was the first of the Australian colonies to offer troops, the first contingent of which left for South Africa in November 1899.
By 1913 the Commonwealth had established a remount complex at Enoggera to service the Queensland contingent of the Light Horse, similar to remount areas built simultaneously in other states, such as Maribyrnong (Victoria), Glenthorne (South Australia) and Holsworthy, New South Wales.
Two of the units based at Enoggera, the 3rd Infantry Battalion AIF and the 2nd Light Horse, were among the first Australian troops called up for overseas service late in 1914.
Many of those who enlisted in the Light Horse brought their own horses, which were purchased by the Commonwealth, while others were issued with Commonwealth mounts, Walers, generally trained and broken at the remount depot.
On 16 September 1914 the Light Horse recruits and regulars were formally inspected by the Governor General, Sir Ronald Ferguson and, four days later, over 2000 troops of the first expeditionary force marched through Brisbane.
During the course of the war, Australian mounted units impressed allies and foes alike, and it became apparent that the Waler horses, so named for their New South Wales breeding, had developed a reputation as the world's finest cavalry horse.
The 2nd Light Horse arrived in Cairo, Egypt, in January 1915 and took part in the ill-fated invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey in late April of that year.
The Light Horse served at Gallipoli in a dismounted role, the terrain at Anzac/Ari Burnu being poorly suited to cavalry manoeuvres.
At Gallipoli, the 2nd Light Horse were charged with the defence of Quinn's Post in Monash Valley, vulnerable to Turkish positions which looked directly over it.
They were amongst the units required to hold the post under the brunt of a major Turkish counteroffensive on 19 May.
A significant Allied victory was achieved in Gaza, Palestine, on 27 October 1917, when the 4th Australian Light Horse charged the Turkish trenches at Beersheba, causing a rout.
Beersheba has been claimed as the last great cavalry charge in history (although this honour probably belongs to an Italian cavalry unit in Abyssinia during World War II), while some British commanders hailed it as the greatest cavalry operation in the history of the British Empire.
While such exploits did much to build the mystique and honour of the Light Horse, technological change ultimately limited its future.
After World War I the AIF was disbanded and replaced with the Citizens Military forces, presumably in anticipation of long-term world peace.
At the outbreak of World War II, Enoggera was once again used as a training camp for soldiers bound for overseas service.
Horses were used in battle for the last time in Syria in 1941, but, by this time, the Light Horse had largely been given over to armoured units.
The Enoggera Remount Depot, built in 1913, was just one of a number of remount complexes established by the Commonwealth around Australia, from 1913 until just after World War I.
Other depots were also established, with the major ones at Victoria Barracks (New South Wales), Mowbray (Tasmania), Guildford (Western Australia), Holsworthy (New South Wales), Keswick (South Australia), and Glenthorne (South Australia).
The Holsworthy depot probably survives as subsurface archaeological remains only, while only part of the 1917 stables building at Victoria Barracks (Sydney) has survived.
At Glenthorne, in South Australia, the remount depot was converted from an old homestead, and few purpose-built remnants of the depot have survived.
This depot, established in 1913, incorporated the former racing stables of trainers CB and H Fisher, which is the only surviving element of this complex today.
Bridges, an officer who died at Gallipoli in May 1915, reputedly the only military horse to return home to Australia after World War I.
There is good evidence to suggest, therefore, that the former Enoggera Remount Complex is not only the most intact surviving Commonwealth remount depot, but that it is the only fully intact example of such a complex.
Although there have been modifications to its buildings, the complex, which is no longer used for its original purpose, all of the buildings remain in situ and intact, with substantial original fabric.
Furthermore, they also still fully demonstrate the appearance and function of a Commonwealth remount depot, and its related military function that was once essential to what a crucial element of Australia's military forces, the Mounted Infantry and the Light Horse.
The complex consists of five main buildings: the Barracks Block (E67), Fodder Store (E68), Carpenter's Store and Saddlery (E69), Farriery (E70) and Infirmary Building (E71).
The Barracks Block (E67) was built as accommodation for men in two dormitories, each 36 feet by 22 feet (10.97 x 6.7 metres).
During World War II the Barracks Block was converted to the quarters of the Officer in Charge and headquarters of the Remount Depot.
The dormitories and Sergeant's room were divided down the centre and transformed into two married quarters, while the mess area was converted to an office and headquarters.
In 1952 the old dormitory wing was converted again, into an officers' lounge and billiards room, with other minor internal modifications.
The front section consists of the former barracks block, a highset timber building with entry via a timber staircase and an enclosed central timber verandah.
The building is clad in a cream timber weatherboard, with a white corrugated iron roof, which is gabled to the front entry verandah (with a white horizontal timber-strip infill) and half-gabled to the side elevations, with red gutters and trims.
Internally, spaces have been extensively remodelled over time to accommodate changing purposes, although some original wall, door, ceiling and floor fabric survives in situ.
The other two sections of the building, the mess room and the kitchen, are similar in composition, but considerably smaller than the front building.
Opposite the front entrance, bounded by the junction of Lavarack Parade and Wynter Road, is a large landscaped garden zone, part of the recreational spaces of the original Remount Depot Barracks Block.
Some minor alterations and additions have been made more recently, including the enclosing of the verandahs and a 1950s timber extension to the rear.
The foundations are a combination of original timber and later concrete stumps, the former having been affected by termite activity in places.
While a great deal of original building fabric remains, including floors, cladding, roofing and some windows and doors, it is in relatively poor condition.
The Carpenter's Store and Saddlery (E69) was constructed after the other buildings in the complex, being added during World War I, primarily for the purpose of storing and repairing saddles.
The Farriery (E70) originally consisted of a shoeing shed and blacksmith's area and lean-to, featuring an open forge with ash floor and a red brick chimney.
The Farriery has undergone several minor modifications since 1913, including the addition of some doors and windows, while the forge and brick chimney have been removed.
The timber cladding and the majority of the roofing are original, as are a large proportion of the windows and internal lining and trims.
It originally contained stable accommodation for ten horses, with each horse contained in 13 by 13 foot (3.96 by 3.96 metre) stalls.
The floor was constructed of wood block pavers, which sloped to the middle of the building, connecting to a drainage system and absorbing pits.
The original feed boxes were removed in 1961 when the building was converted for use as a RAEME depot attached to the 3RAR.
Most of the external cladding and roofing is original, although significant modifications have been made to the internal make-up of the building, to accommodate changing functions, which has had some impact on the internal and external fabric.
The original plans show the Infirmary building designed in a vee shape, with each length of the building branching off at a ninety-degree angle, one east-west and the other north-south.
Each length contained five individual stable cubicles, each with its own door, serviced by fodder stores at the end of each row of stalls.
The plans also show a planned extension, which was a mirror image of the existing building, built to the southern end of the site, although this was never built.
The original stable doors have been filled in, with windows inserted, and most of the partitions between the former stable cubicles have been removed, except for three converted single rooms at the southern end.
New doorways, windows and internal partitions have been added in various places, although much of the internal tongue and groove lining, windows and doors still remain.
In addition to the large number of roof ventilators, there is also a system of wall ventilation, which provides overlapping gaps between the first four weatherboards below the roofline to allow circulation of air.
The former Remount Complex at Enoggera features two distinct precincts, separated by Wynter Road, which runs through the complex on a north-south axis.
Two more recent unrelated buildings (E80 and E82) built on the site of the proposed extension to E71, intrude on this area somewhat.
Gallipoli Barracks, in general, has been planned and constructed as a series of open areas, with minimal fencing only around secure compounds.
In the early periods of its existence the remount section was situated along the eastern boundary of the military range site.
Immediately west of and with a direct relationship to this complex, were the horse paddocks, where training and instruction in horsemanship and cavalry tactics was conducted.
During and following World War II, however, as the value of military horsemanship declined and other needs gained precedence, the area was subsumed, with a series of new buildings occupying these spaces.
While the building has undergone several internal modifications, original fabric is still present and the original layout can be discerned from this.
The complex is probably the most intact former Commonwealth remount depot in Australia, featuring infirmary and stables, saddlery, farriery, fodder store, and barracks, and as such may be the only site where a full appreciation of the role and function of remount depots in Australian defence history can be achieved.
The buildings of the former remount depot at Enoggera are pragmatic, stylish but modest in detail, with custom-designed adaptations to Brisbane's subtropical climate, such as the ventilated weatherboards on the stable cubicles of the Infirmary Building.
The former Remount Complex at Gallipoli Barracks, Enoggera, built in 1913 by the Queensland Public Works Department on behalf of the Commonwealth, is of considerable historical significance.
It comprises five buildings and landscape elements particular to the function of a military remount depot, designed for the training and treatment of horses, used so effectively by Australian forces in World War I.
The former Remount Complex buildings are an integral component of a suite of pre-World War I Commonwealth buildings at Enoggera, including the Small Arms Magazine, former School of Musketry and former Small Arms Magazine.
Each of these buildings reflects a significant phase in the construction of government infrastructure in Australia, where Commonwealth buildings were often designed and built by state public works departments on behalf of the Commonwealth.
While some modifications have been made, the buildings remain in their original locations with their original interrelationships intact; these early twentieth century functions and design can still be seen clearly in their form, fabric and appearance.
The buildings form a discrete complex, which was once enhanced by an adjacent horse paddock, now subsumed by more recent buildings.
The former Remount Complex is associated with Australia's legendary mounted soldiers, especially the Light Horse, whose exploits at Gallipoli, Beersheba and Jerusalem ensured for them a place as one of Australia's most revered battle units, and a reputation as one of the most successful cavalry forces in history.
The complex at Enoggera is closely associated with Queensland's cavalry units, particularly the 2nd Light Horse, descended from the Queensland colonial militia, and the Queensland Mounted Infantry and Mounted Rifles, over 2000 of whom were trained at Enoggera for battle as the first colonial Australian force to be committed to the South African War of 1899-1902.
B. Brady, and his colleagues at the Queensland Government Architects Office, contributed a considerable number of buildings for the Commonwealth government in the post-federation period.
The Mediterranean Wall, also known as the Southern Wall ( in German), was an extensive system of coastal fortifications built by Nazi Germany during the Second World War, between 1943 and 1945.
The project foresaw that the fortifications would extend along all the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea of southern France, from Cerbère to Menton, so as to prevent Allied landings in the South of France.
The 19th Army of the Wehrmacht (Armeeoberkommando 19 (AOK 19)) defended 7 coastal defense sectors (; KVA) covering the 864 km of the French Mediterranean coast from the Spanish border to the Italian border.
At the time of Allies landing in Provence, the defensive line consisted of about 500 defensive blocks, while about 200 were still under construction.
It also served the Musical Club, the Women's Club, the Baseball Club, and the Commercial Club, and was available for use by other local groups.
In 1940, the Kendrick Grange #413, a chapter of the Order of the Patrons of Husbandry, was established and also used the building.
He made his FIS Ski Jumping Continental Cup debut in September 2016, made his first podium in September 2018 in Midtstubakken, and won his first race in January 2019 in Klingenthal.
He collected his first World Cup points with a 29th place in January 2019 in Sapporo, and broke the top 20 for the first time when finishing 19th in Nizhny Tagil in December 2019.
Julien Bayou, born June 11, 1980 in Paris, is a French activist and politician, regional councilor of Île-de-France and national secretary of the Europe Écologie Les Verts party.
His grandmother Marguerite is the former mayor of Saint-Chinian and his grandfather is Raoul Bayou, a former socialist deputy mayor of Cessenon-sur-Orb.
Bayou studied at the Turgot high school, before entering the Institute of Political Studies in Strasbourg and then the Institute of Political Studies in Paris.
He obtained a degree in international economics, carried out in part during an internship in the writing of Alternatives Economiques, drawing up an inventory of internships in companies in France.
In 2013, he was in charge of campaigns for Avaaz, an NGO which mobilizes on various international issues, such as climate change, human rights, corruption and poverty.
It is in this context that he takes part in the campaign to liberate the young Sevil Sevimli, a Franco-Turkish student imprisoned in Turkey for having participated in a concert.
Plunket Street Meeting House, was the site of two churches, first a Presbyterian Church, then an independent reformed faith evangelical church on Plunket Street (now Dillon Street), Dublin.
It was acquired by Lady Huntingdon who funded its refurbishment and reopening in 1773, the church used the Church of Ireland liturgy.
Although not a consecrated chapel in the established church, a number of evangelical Church of Ireland clergy preached at the Meeting house, such as the Hymn writer Rev.
The English Independent minister Timothy Priestley preached at the church on the invitation of Lady Huntington, he was followed as minister by Rev.
William Cooper (secretary of the Irish Evangelical Society), who was presented with a Silver Cup for use as a Tabernacle in the Chapel, by Town Major Henry Charles Sirr.
Simpson G. Morrison (ordained an Independent Minister, he was also from the Irish Evangelical Society), became minister and began reviving the fortunes of the Chapel, Morrison became Presbyterian minister of Union Chapel, Lower Abbey Street, and the Plunket Street Congregation joined up with the Union Chapel.
Starting 1991, he did a parallel study of Geography at the University of Liège; he obtained the degree of Licentiate in Geography in 1995, with a dissertation on soil erosion in Ethiopia.
Between 1998 and 2001 he carried out PhD research at KU Leuven University (Belgium), in which he investigated the role of human and natural processes in land degradation in the Ethiopian highlands.
Promoters of this research were professors Jean Poesen, Seppe Deckers (both at KU Leuven), Jan Moeyersons (Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren) and Mitiku Haile (Mekelle University in Ethiopia).
Since 2007 he is professor at the Department of Geography of Ghent University; in 2014 he was appointed as Full Professor.
Nyssen’s research showed that high levels of soil loss in the Ethiopian highlands are caused by a combination of erosive rainfall, steep slopes (as a consequence of rapid tectonic uplift during Pliocene and Pleistocene), and impacts of deforestation, overgrazing, an agricultural system where the open-field system dominates, and the aftermath of povery induced by the feudalism.
He further studied in the Ethiopian highlands how the high density of soil and water conservation structures led to land resilience.
In all this, he strongly values indigenous knowledge, as he observed that Ethiopian farmers plough the same lands and hills since thousands of years with their oxen plough.
Through the years, he lived the many changes that occurred; since his first stay in 1994, he observed that the amount of food available to rural households, as well as the overall living standard has strongly improved.
The research confirmed that such dams have a buffering effect on discharges: downstream the peak discharges are much lower that what was observed before beaver reintroduction.
He promoted dozens of Master and PhD theses, particularly at Ugent (Belgium), KU Leuven (Belgium), Mekelle University (Ethiopia) and Bahir Dar University (Ethiopia).
For instance, in Ethiopia he monitored how large tracts of land could be restored thanks to the conservation activities of millions of farmers.
Starting point are the consequences of climate change for the inhabitants of developing countries, such as Ethiopia: increases in rainfall are linked to climate change.
Yet, as rain is highly seasonal (most of the rains fall within two months time), additional rain in the rainy season also leads to floodings and catastrophes.
Nyssen also stresses the social context of global warming, inasmuch as authorities stimulate unnecessary energy consumption such as tax-free company cars or non-taxation of kerosene; they also make airport expansion plans.
Also in Ethiopia, he continues to support the population of the villages where he stays several weeks a year, among others through projects for water and ecological sanitation as well as carbon sequestration in soils.

Judith Walden Scarafile (born January 31, 1949) is the former president of the Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL), serving from 1991 to 2015.
A graduate of the University of Connecticut and MCPHS University, Scarafile joined the Cape Cod League as an official scorer while a student at Connecticut, and became publicity assistant to league executive Dick Bresciani.
She soon rose to other positions in the league, including publicist, secretary, deputy commissioner, and vice president, prior to being appointed president in 1991.
Under her leadership the league experienced a period of sustained development, procured dozens of major corporate sponsors, and saw hundreds of its collegiate players go on to careers in Major League Baseball.

Like other chitons, it bears a protective shell formed from eight articulating valves on its dorsal surface, these being embedded in a tough muscular girdle.
The girdle bears 18 tufts of short bristles, four tufts at the front, and one on either side of the junctions between the plates.
The colour is very variable, being some shade of grey, fawn, brown, pink, pale green or pale blue, often marbled or streaked.
It uses its radula, which is armed with several rows of teeth, to graze on the coralline algae growing on the rock, also feeding on any unicellular algae forming a film there.
The larvae have a short planktonic trochophore larval phase before settling to the seabed, undergoing metamorphosis and developing into juvenile chitons with six valve plates, which soon hide under stones.
Support for East European Democracy (SEED) Act of 1989 are a series of legislative acts of the US Congress from 1989 to 1995.
Adopted by the Chambers of the 101st US Congress (3 January 1989 - 3 January 1991), 102nd US Congress (3 January 1991 - 3 January 1993), 103rd US Congress (3 January 1993 - 3 January) 1995) and the 104th US Congress (January 3, 1995 - January 3, 1997).
The laws were passed under continuous dominance in both chambers of the US Congress of Democrats and the presidency of 2 presidents - George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
The legislation is an expression of US policy towards Central and Eastern European countries, which were previously members of the Warsaw Pact and the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance.
Initially targeted at Poland and Hungary, they subsequently encompassed Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania and the countries of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
The legislative focus is on the establishment of democratic institutions in these countries through aid for agriculture, private sector development, trade and investment, educational, cultural and scientific activities, as well as specific programs.
A prerequisite for so-called financial assistance is the removal of trade restrictions, the liberalization of investment and capital, including through foreign investment, and the exportation of profits from these countries by foreign (US) investors.
The other focus is on the development of the capital financial markets in these countries, and in particular on the privatization and concession of public assets.
30 years after the changes in Central and Eastern Europe, there is no alignment of the standard of living in these countries as a whole with those of Western Europe.
There is also a demographic collapse, coupled with the export of labor from these countries to the countries of the so-called Old Europe.
Often part of the podestà’s or capitano del popolo’s entourage, the road master worked in small teams of builders and administrators to maintain a city's network of roads and waterways, including nodal points such as gates, bridges, sluices and markets.
In many towns and cities across the peninsula, roads officials not only built and maintained such amenities, but they also monitored human and animal behavior that impacted their traversability, and fined pertinent offenders.
Road masters also fought against domestic practices that were seen as causing harm to the population at large, including unlawful refuse disposal and neglecting to restrain pigs.
Beyond the upkeep of roads and canals allowing produce to reach and leave markets, these officials often examined the accuracy of weights and measures used by retailers.
They also pursued people who tried to sell produce outside the allowed time and place or wares of inferior quality, such as rotten meat or fish.
Lastly, roads officials also policed inns and taverns, places where food and drink were sold, to ensure these were of good quality and served at the correct amounts and for the right price.
The presence in taverns of alcohol and abundance of foreigners, including sex workers, sometimes meant that roads masters also operated as a moral police force, fighting gambling, rowdiness and sexual promiscuity.
In doing all this, road masters participated in earlier cities’ preventative and harm-reductive programs, designed to promote health and fight disease at the population level.

The Lac aux Rognons is crossed to the northwest by the Métabetchouane River, in the unorganized territory of Lac-Croche, in the La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
This small valley is served by a few secondary roads serving this area for the needs of forestry, recreational tourism activities.
This lake takes the shape of a large U because of a peninsula attached to the West shore, which stretches in the lake to the southeast.
Lac aux Rognons is part of the upper course of the Métabetchouane river, at the northern limit of the MRC of La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality.
In the prehistory of this region, this lake proved to be an inescapable milestone of the waterways used by the Amerindians between the St. Lawrence Valley and Lac Saint-Jean.
The legendary 17th century Jesuit trail turned out to be the Innu winter road; the missionaries passed by the Lac aux Rognons to go to Lac Saint-Jean and Hudson Bay.
The Huron Wendats who settled in the region of Quebec (city) in the middle of the 17th century, had to break into the natural hunting and fishing territories of other Aboriginal nations.
In addition, the Innu lost interest in the region north of Quebec (city), where game was declining due to the presence of French settlers.
In the 19th century, the Gros-Louis Wendate family, to whom the clan had allocated this territory, still maintained a camp on the banks of Lac aux Rognons; however, this family gradually had to abandon it after the creation in 1895 of the Parc des Laurentides, which later became the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve.
The Quebec toponymy includes several geographic entities designated by the specific element Rognon, in particular a lake and an important river which feed the Batiscan river.

The Lac F.X.-Lemieux is located in the unorganized territory of Lac-Croche, in the La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
This small valley is served by a few secondary roads serving this area for the needs of forestry, recreational tourism activities.
The surface of Lac F.X.-Lemieux is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March.
From the mouth of Lake F.-X.-Lemieux, located on the south shore in the middle of the lake, the current descends on first towards the south following the course of the discharge from the lake crossing the Cluse, Verneuil, Oblong and Minime lakes.
Then the current veers westwards zigzagging to go to flow on the east bank of the lac aux Rognons which is crossed by the Métabetchouane River.
From the mouth of the Métabetchouane river on the south shore of Lac Saint-Jean, the current crosses the latter on towards the northeast, then follows the course of the Saguenay river via La Petite Décharge on until Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence estuary.

The Niagara 35 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by Mark Ellis as a cruiser and first built in 1978.
The design was built by Hinterhoeller Yachts in St Catharines, Ontario, Canada and first shown at the Toronto International Boat Show in 1978.
It has a masthead sloop rig with aluminum spars and a bowsprit, a spooned raked stem, a raised counter transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel.
The boat was factory-fitted with a Universal M24D , or a Volvo, or a four-cylinder Westerbeke diesel engine for docking and maneuvering.
Initially it had an unconventional arrangement, with two small cabins, a single to starboard and a double to port, on each side of the companionway steps, the galley, with a three-burned propane stove, icebox and sink amidships to port and the head amidships to starboard, along with a chart table.
The main saloon is forward and the forepeak is used for storage space and includes a work bench and access to the foredeck via a large overhead hatch.
Sail handling includes genoa tracks, a dedicated halyard winch mounted on the mast, two cabin-top winches and two mounted on the cockpit coaming.
Under way, the boat is stable and stiff, and we've had the rail of our Niagara 35, Phantasia II, in the water only once, when beating down Lake Huron in 20 knots of wind.
On that same trip we hooted and hollered downwind at over 8 knots on a day on which virtually no one else was out.
Elk Island, located in Goochland County, Virginia near Cartersville, is an island on the James River and across from the former Elk Hill plantation at the mouth of Byrd Creek.
Two archaeological sites on the island, the Wright and Little River sites, provided evidence of Late Archaic and Early Woodland period settlement through the presence of ceramic shards, including decorated Potomac Creek pottery, and other artifacts.
In 1836, the James River and Kanawha Company evaluated the creation of a canal, an arm of which would end at the lower end of Elk Island, within the James River for transportation.
During the Revolutionary War, Elk Island and Elkhill were occupied by Lord Cornwallis and his men for ten days, during which time they destroyed many of the crops on the plantation and slaughtered livestock for provisions.
Jefferson visited the site not long after Cornwallis left, and later recorded what he had seen in a letter to William Gordon in Paris.
She had been mothballed, following her brief World War 2 service, and, when the Korean War required more vessels on the Great Lakes, she was purchased by Cleveland Cliffs, who planned to adapt her for service on the Lakes.
But her engines were left midships, and the second superstructure, that other lake freighters had above their engines, in the stern was built above her engines in their midship locations.
She was towed from the yard where she was converted, in Baltimore, Maryland to Chicago, and special provisions had to be made so she could travel under the bridges she encountered.
The lockmaster agreed for her bow to be tied in place, right up against the upstream doors to the lock, with her stern sticking out of the open lower doors.
He then opened the upstream doors, and the vessel was hauled upstream far enough for the downstream doors to be closed.
When she was lengthened a second time, in 1957, by a further , she became Queen of the Lakes - the longest ship on the Lakes.
It is located southeast of Jackson along U.S. Route 35, next to Rocky Hill, at the intersection of Dixon Run Road (County Road 41) and Winchester-Vega Road, at .

The upper part of the vase is in the shape of a lion's head, which appears to have been modelled rather than cast from a mould.
The vase is painted with a floral chain at the shoulder, three bands of figurative decorations, and rays at the base.
Unlike on the Chigi vase, another work by the same artist, where two phalanxes are depicted, the Macmillan aryballos shows hoplites engaged in single combat.

The third band is 4 mm high and is decorated with a hunting scene, in which a hunter and hounds chase a hare and a fox or jackal.
The eparchy claims its heritage to the original eparchy of Kiev that dates back to the establishment of the Old Russian (Ruthenian) Church under the jurisdiction of Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.
Old Russian (Ruthenian) Kiev diocese (or archdiocese) is first mentioned in 891, as the 60th by ranks of honor in the list of departments subordinate to the Patriarch of Constantinople, and 61st in the charter of Emperor Leo (886-911).
From its beginnings, eparchy of Kiev was central or primatial diocese of the Metropolitanate, which also included a number of other dioceses, created after the baptism of Kievan Rus during the rule of Great Prince Vladimir in 988.
This lasted until the middle of the century, when the decree of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, they were again granted the dignity of the Metropolitan.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, Kiev diocese consisted of two parts on the right and left banks of the Dnieper River, within subsequently ceded to Chernihiv and Poltava provinces.

The Kujarke people (also spelled Kujargé) are a little-known ethnic group of the Ouaddaï Region in eastern Chad and South Darfur, Sudan.
Due to the war in Darfur, most Kujarke may now be living in refugee camps in the Goz Beïda and Dar Sila regions of eastern Chad.
The first time the Kujarke had been mentioned in over 25 years was when French anthropologist Jerome Tubiana had interviewed a Daju village chief in Tiero.
The chief of Tiero mentioned that a Kujarke village had been burned to the ground by the Janjaweed in 2007 during an ethnic cleansing campaign against the Daju people.
According to Paul Doornbos, the Kujarke had lived mainly by hunting and gathering due to the climate, terrain, and unstable seasonal water supply of the Dar Fongoro area being inhospitable for intensive agriculture and animal husbandry.
They are surround by the Daju-Galfigé to the west, the Sinyar to the north, and the Fur-Dalinga, Fongoro, Formono, and Runga to the east and south.
The Kijaar clan was located closer to the core Kujarke area of Jebel Mirra than all of the other Sinyar clans.
The Kujarke are not Muslims and practice a secret religion that is yet unrecorded, as the Kujarke would lead visitors to a perimeter outside their village whenever they needed to perform their prayers.
In 1981, Dutch anthropologist Paul Doornbos had spent 4-5 hours eliciting a basic vocabulary list of Kujarke from a father and son (Arbab Yahia Basi, born Ndundra, who was 35 years old in 1981) in Ro Fatá, near Foro Boranga, Darfur.
The first 100 words were elicited from the informant's father, who was nearly deaf and had limited knowledge of Arabic, while the second 100 words were provided by the main informant, who may have mixed Kujarke with Daju and Fur.
Doornbos also speculates that in 1981, Kujarke may have already been a dying language with few speakers left, although their population may have exceeded 1,000 people in 1981.
According to the son, the Kujarke had originally lived in the mountain ranges to east of the Wadi Azum, namely the Jebel Kulli, Jebel Toya, Jebel Kunjaro, Jebel Turabu, Jebel Oromba, and Jebel Kire.
The street runs roughly east to west, starting near the Bab Bou Jeloud gate in the west and ending at the al-Attarine Madrasa in the east, near the Qarawiyyin Mosque.
Another street, Tala'a Seghira, serves a similar role and runs more or less parallel to Tala'a Kebira: from Bab Bou Jeloud in the west until rejoining Tala'a Kebira in the east between the Chrabliyine Mosque and the Nejjarine Funduq.
As in many medieval Islamic cities, the main souk streets of Fes typically run from the city's main gates to the area of the city's main mosque (in this case the Qarawiyyin and, to a lesser extent, the Zawiya of Moulay Idris II, historically known as the Shurafa Mosque), which, in turn, lies at the center of the city's main commercial and economic zones.

The 1987 Defence White Paper, titled The Defence of Australia, was a white paper published by the Australian Department of Defence during the Hawke Government introduced by Minister for Defence Kim Beazley.
The 1987 Defence White Paper expanded the emphasis on self-reliance that was established in the 1976 Defence White Paper, no longer focussing defence policy primarily on attracting the attention of powerful allies.
The 1987 White Paper was released following the Dibb Review of Australia's Defence Capabilities and the Cooksey Review of Australia's Defence Exports and Defence Industry.
It asserted that no country had the capacity or motivation, to sustain high level military operations against Australia, though Australia would still be vulnerable to harassment across its coastline and sea approaches.
The paper re-affirmed self-reliance and adopted the strategy of defence in depth, as opposed to the publicly unpopular forward defence strategy which saw Australia intervene in the Vietnam War.
The paper restated the importance of Australia's alliance with the United States and declared Australia's area of military interest to include much of Oceania and South East Asia.
Penis extenders usually have a plastic ring that sits at the base of a flaccid penis, and another ring before the glans, with a traction device that runs along the sides of the organ, The wearer adjusts springs, which pull the penile shaft with the intention of literally stretching the flaccid penis to become longer.
Studies, as of 2019, however have been small in size, many had difficulty carrying out the treatment during the study period, and people were not blinded to the treatment that they were receiving.
They are usually mild and self-limiting; however, it may partly account for lack of patient compliance with penile traction therapy (PTT).

The Climate Clock is an instrument which shows how quickly we are approaching 1.5℃ of global warming, given current emissions trends.
The Climate Clock has been launched in 2015 to provide a measuring stick against which we can track climate change mitigation progress.
Special about the clock is that it date indicated when we reach 1.5℃ will move closer as emissions rise, and moves further away as emissions decrease.
The clock has been updated the clock every year to reflect the latest global CO2 emissions trend and rate of climate warming.
As of 2020, the clock shows that the time left to reach 1,5°C currently sits at 12 years and 9 months (=2032 A.D.).
The 1.5℃ is an important threshold for many climate impacts, as shown by the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C.
Consequent sea level rise also increases sharply between 1.5℃ and 2℃, and virtually all corals could be wiped out at 2℃ warming.

A special deck was built for the fighting men, and along the whole length of the galley were placed shields to protect the rowers and the soldiers.
Acehnese in 1568 siege of Portuguese Malacca used 4 large galley 40–50 meter long each with 190 rowers in 24 banks.
They were armed with 12 large camelos (3 at each bow side, 4 at stern), 1 basilisk (bow-mounted), 12 falcons, and 40 swivel guns.
By then cannons, firearms, and other war material had come annually from Jeddah, and the Turks also sent military experts, masters of galleys, and technicians.
The average Acehnese galley in the second half of the 16th century would have been approximately 50 metres long, have had two masts, with square sails and top sails, not lateen sails like those of Portuguese galleys.
It would have been propelled by 24 oars on each side, carrying about 200 men aboard, and armed with 20 cannons (two or three large ones at the bow, the rest smaller swivel guns).
In 1575 siege, Aceh used 40 two-masted galleys with Turkish captains carrying 200–300 soldier of Turk, Arab, Deccanis, and Aceh origins.
Western and native sources mention that Aceh had 100–120 galleys at any time (not counting the smaller fusta and galiot), spread from Daya (west coast) to Pedir (east coast).
One galley captured by Portuguese in 1629 during Iskandar Muda's reign is very large, and it was reported there were total 47 of them.
She reached 100 m in length and 17 m in breadth, had 3 masts with square sails and topsails, propelled by 35 oars on each side and able to carry 700 men.
It is armed with 98 guns: 18 large cannon (five 55-pounders at the bow, one 25-pounder at the stern, the rest were 17- and 18-pounders), 80 falcons, and many swivel guns.

The mouth of Petit lac Wayagamac is located (in a direct line) southeast of downtown La Tuque and east of Lake Wayagamac.
This Haute-Mauricie lake includes Bouleau Bay (which receives Bouleau Creek from the north) and Mystérieur Bay located at the mouth of the Mysterious River (coming from the south).
From the outlet of Petit lac Wayagamac, the Petite Rivière Bostonnais (English: Little Bostonnais River) runs 4.4 km (measured by water) before emptying into Lake Wayagamac (southeast side).
Lake Wayagamac in turn empties from the west into the Little Bostonnais River which is approximately 10.6 km long (measured by water), between the Wayagamac lake dam and the mouth of the river which flows into the Saint-Maurice River at the southern limit of the town of La Tuque (just south of the airport).
From the outlet of Petit lac Wayagamac, the water from the Petite rivière Bostonnais flows over 23.6 km, 8.6 km of which cross Lake Wayagamac from East to West.
This name, in the form of Wayagamack was mentioned in 1876 in one of the reports of the surveyor Télésphore Chavigny De La Chevrotière.

In 2017 Ramsey entered his own Nissan Leaf in the Mongol Rally, becoming the first driver of an electric vehicle to compete in the 10,000-mile competition.
That year’s rally began at Goodwood Circuit in England and ended in the Siberian city of Ulan-Ude, miles north of the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar.
The 30kWh Nissan Leaf had a 155-mile range on a single charge and featured light modifications to cope with the terrain on the rally.
These modifications included Speedline SL2 Marmora wheels and Maxsport RB3 tyres, as well as welded plates beneath the wishbones, an aluminium sump guard and a roof-mounted light bar.
When you think about how much fuel one of the Mongol rally teams would have put in, it would have been $1,500 -- £1,800 worth of petrol.
On 26 August 2018, Ramsey broke the Guinness World Record for the furthest distance travelled on an e-bike in a 12-hour period.
He also provides educational lecturers to businesses and schools to help them understand the ecological and climate benefits of electric car adoption.

Its objective is to serve as professional representation of the ethnic Hungarian ethnographers from Romania, and to provide an institutional framework for research and professional work.
Since its inception has been operating continuously, and as ethnographic research and ethnographic education began to develop, its activities expanded and diversified.
From 1994 the Society has its own headquarters, where a library, an archive, a publisher and a lecture hall is housed.
After World War II, the communist regime terminated the ethnographic education at Bolyai University in 1948, leaving Hungarian ethnographic research in Romania without any background institution.
Nevertheless, ethnography was included in the subjects of other faculties (history, humanities), and research and publications were published by various institutions until 1989.
After the Romanian Revolution the Hungarian ethnographers felt the need to set up a research organization, which represents and advocates their interests.
The founder president was Ferenc Pozsony, the first secretary was Erzsébet Zakariás, and its first honorary president was Iván Balassa (1991-2002).
The Society was named after the Unitarian bishop János Kriza, who was a well known Transylvaninan collector of folklore in the 19th century.
The goal of the founding founding Transylvanian intellectuals, teachers and museologists was to study folk culture, to process and preserve the material and intellectual heritage and to examine these professionally.
In addition to regular field research, folklore collecting competitions, thematic professional conferences, seminars, exhibitions, publishing results, establishing a documentation center, the Society also intended to play a role in protecting the ethnographers interests and liaising with Hungarian ethnographic researchers and institutions in the Carpathian Basin.
At the same time, as an educational and cultural background institution, they considered it important to contribute to the Hungarian-language ethnographic training at the University of Cluj.
Since there were few opportunities for continuous professional relations between 1945 and 1989, the Kriza János Ethnographic Society organized 2-3 thematic conferences a year in various settlements in Transylvania.
Researchers from Hungary also took an active part in this by transferring their knowledge, the latest research and interpretation methods of European ethnography.
In the autumn of 1990, Professor János Péntek at the Babeș-Bolyai University restarted ethnographic education, and since 1995 more and more young people with an ethnographic qualification have been admitted to educational, cultural, scientific and museal institutions in Romania.
As Romanian scientific environment did not integrate the results of Hungarian researchers in the 1990s, the management of the Society sought to establish an independent center for science, documentation, culture and education.
As a result of the work of József Kötő and Erzsébet Zakariás, with the support of the Illyés Foundation, the Kriza János Ethnographic Society moved into its real estate in 1994 in the center of Cluj.
Mária Szikszai, Dóra Czégényi, Éva Borbély, Judit Keszeg and Erzsébet Tímea Tatár played a decisive role in the continuous processing and operation of the repository and the library.
With the support of the Hungarian Ministry of National Cultural Heritage, the first permanent exhibition of the Csángó Ethnographic Museum was opened on September 14, 2003 in Zăbala.
In 2004, with the support of the Apáczai Foundation, the mansard of the headquarters was converted to a space suitable for lectures and exhibitions.
In the same year, the Society was also a founding member of the Hungarian University Federation of Cluj, which serves as the background institution of Hungarian higher education in Cluj.
The library moved to its current location in 1994, where in addition to more than 10,000 books, the latest scientifical periodicals are available.
The volumes contain mainly the basic works of Hungarian and universal ethnography, but they also include works of social science (anthropology, sociology, history, linguistics, local history, literature).
The accessible stock is constantly expanding through contacts with institutions and publishers in the Carpathian Basin, and the results of scientific literature and researches are constantly enriching the library.
Since 2007 the library catalog is available on the Society's website, where the most important information about the items (author, editor, title, publisher, place of publication) can be searched.
The manuscripts include the material of renowned researchers such as Károly Kós Jr., József Faragó, Jenő Nagy, László Székely, Judit Szentimrei and Géza Vámszer.
Within the framework of a multiannual project, the digitization of the material of the most important inheritances as well as ethnographic collections is ongoing and will be made available in the form of a digital archive.
The Csángó Archive exists as a separate division and is constantly expanding, containing more than two thousand items, manuscripts, rare publications, maps, other documents in Hungarian, Romanian, English and German.
Each of these items contains the most important bibliographic information, and the material can be listed by year, title, or topic.
The database archives the values accepted by the Transylvanian Hungarian Values Committee, and the main topics are: agro- and food industry, industrial and technical solutions, natural environment, health and lifestyle, cultural heritage, tourism and hospitality, built environment, sport.
The database contains photographs of ethnographic subjects dating from the 1910s, from well known researchers and photographs such as Béla Gunda, László Seiwarth, Károly Kós, Géza Vámszer, Jenő Nagy, Tamás Szabó, László Péterfy, and other researchers and students of the Society and the Department of Hungarian Ethnography and Anthropology of the Babeș-Bolyai University.
These books ensure the presentation of the latest results of the Hungarian ethnographic research in Romania and the work of the Society's members.
The yearbook series contains mostly materials of conferences, the Kriza Books series displays the ethnographic fieldwork, study and interpretation, the Kriza Library series provides the publication of sources and folklore texts.
These volumes can also be found in national and regional public libraries, libraries of NGOs, smaller ethnographic and social science units.
This can be searched by title, author, subject, year of publication, or location, and all texts are available in PDF format.
The most important professional partner of the Society is the Department of Hungarian Ethnography and Anthropology of the Babeș-Bolyai University, of which the Kriza János Ethnographic Society is a background institution.

Born in 1976 in Vilnius, in Soviet Lithuania, Beskin emigrated to Israel with her family in 1990, settling in the kibbutz Ein Carmel.
Of her childhood in Vilnius Beskin said in an interview: Vilnius is a multi-cultural city: there are Lituanian, Russian, Polish, and Jewish elements there.
I went to a Russian-language school, but I was born into a world in which, necessarily, you hear several languages spoken around you.
You develop curiosity and a tolerance for the unknown.Regarding her non-literary day job, she said in a different interview:I think every intellectual should have a degree in economics.
[...] I am first and foremost a woman of letters, and I consider translation no less important than my original writing.
[...] On the other hand, I am very glad I do not make my living in literature, or I'd have been miserable.
In 2006, Beskin published her first volume of poetry, יצירה ווקאלית ליהודי, דג ומקהלה (Hebrew: A Vocal Work for Jew, Fish, and Choir).
Unusually, the poems are organized in the book under headings not of poetic genres such as sonnets, but of musical genres such as blues and rock 'n' roll.
Of her deliberate mixing of language registers and cultural references, she remarked: I consider the entire language material to work with.
For example, in her poem 'The Fissure': it's a heartbreaking love poem, [expressing a desire to keep the lover being lost as though in an ice fissure] and she writes: 'You and I are bound like Etna and Empedocles'.
Empedocles the ancient Greek philosopher studied volcanoes, and went to live on mount Etna, until it erupted and buried him and the surrounding villages.
I would start with 'In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth', and work my way through world poetry.
In 2006, Beskin's first book received both positive (Ziva Shamir, Menachem Ben, Daniel Oz) and negative reviews (Daphna Schori, Shimon Bouzaglo).
Almost paradoxically, Beskin is a very local poet, whose longings are anchored to the here and now, and do not reject [the present], but perceive and integrate with [its] frequencies.

The Iwaidō Cave is located on the right bank of the Ogatsu River, which joins the uppermost stream of the Omono River, in swamps deep into the mountains near the border between Akita Prefecture and Yamagata Prefecture, at an altitude of 190 meters.
The ruins are composed of four large and small caves in a tuff outcrop with a total length of about 80 meters, and a height of two to eight meters The caves were used as dwellings in the Jōmon period, and a relic inclusion layer was found in each cave.
The caves were explored by local archaeologists around the year 1900, and a number of earthenware and stone artifacts were recovered from Cave 2.
However, it was not until 1962 to 1970, and in 1976 that a series of comprehensive excavations were undertaken by the Akita Prefecture Board of Education.
The lowest layer contained a group of pointed earthenware from the early Jōmon period, and each of the subsequent layers had artifacts of late middle and late Jōmon pottery, final-Jōmon pottery, and finally Haji ware and Yayoi period earthenware in a stratified manner.
Cave 3 was shallow, but had a thick deposit level in its vestibule, and excavations were conducted to a depth of about three meters.
The depth of the cave is shallow, but the front is about four meters long, and the vestibule had a flat surface with a length of around 20 metes.
The first layer contained earthenware, Yayoi pottery, late Jōmon period pottery, the third layer contained late Jōmon period pottery, the fifth layer contained early Jōmon period artifacts, and the seventh and lower layers belong to the early Jōmon period.
The style of earthenware excavated from the 11th and 13th layers was almost unknown in the Tōhoku region at the time of the survey, and was an extremely important archaeological discovery.
From the above, it was determined that the site has been used as a residence for several thousand years, except for and unexplained gap in the middle of the Jōmon period.
The caves are not open to the public, but there is a small museum housing some of the discovered items and a diorama.

Her early studies focused on the neural and hormonal mechanisms of behavior in male ring doves, in particular, as well as the sharing of parental responsibility and coordination between the male and female.
She documented a number of changes in both members of the pair across the reproductive cycle, including in steroid hormones, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).
Her interest in changes which occurred in the brains of ring doves during reproduction and parental behaviors, such as the timing of egg incubation bouts, led her to pursue questions related to circadian rhythms (daily cycles of activity and sleep).
Her and members of her lab then performed a number of fundamental experiments demonstrating on the mechanisms underlying circadian rhythms in both birds and mammals, including a series of experiments demonstrating that a hormonal signal from the SCN sustains circadian activity rhythms in golden hamsters.
She has also conducted research on the role of mast cells, part of the immune system, on brain vasculature, hormone production, neuronal transmission, and behavior.

Elizabeth Rose, Lady of Kilravock (8 March 1747 – 1 November 1815), 19th Laird, Baroness of Kilravock, was an eighteenth-century Scottish literary critic and author.
Her uncle, John Clephane, advised her ‘‘Reading and writing and playing on the spinet is all very well …The two first deserve great application.
After the death of her brother, the 18th Baron of Kilravock, and a five-year long contest over succession rights, she was granted title to most of the estates, including Kilravock.
Reading was intended to influence her own moral improvement and to prepare her for the world into which she had suddenly been thrust due the premature deaths of her father, her brothers and her husband.
As she had requested, she was buried in the old [St. Mary's] chapel of Geddes with her coffin resting on birch trees cut from the Kilravock estate.
She shared her reading with others as she actively sought to cultivate a specific philosophy of reading in the next generation of female readers.
By the end of the century, she was well enough known for Anne Grant, who had never met her, to take Helen Dunbar’s report of Rose’s praise of her manuscript verse as significant encouragement in Grant’s decision to publish her work.
Grant described Rose’s ‘elegant critisms’ as ‘an excellent cork jacket’ to keep her afloat as she ventured into the swampy world of publication.
Her own style of writing…was not natural, and she has scarcely written anything worthy of being preserved for its intrinsic qualities - Hew RoseShe became an author by providence rather than design.
Within these journals she recorded every book she read and collected passages from those books in a series of voluminous commonplace books.
In her commonplace book, Poems, Rose excerpted poetry written by Samuel Johnson, Horace, Henry Mackenzie, and others, editing and revising their poetry to suit her own sense of poetics.
Amongst other things, the letters show that Mackenzie shared excerpts from his books and asked her for her opinion on the novel as he was writing it.

Gómez managed and served as spokesperson of the El Rosario Monarch Butterfly Preserve, a component of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.
His brother stated he was last seen on 13 January at a fair with Ocampo mayor, Roberto Arriaga Colín and other municipal officials.
They received phone calls from individuals claiming to have kidnapped him, asking for ransom payments, which human rights activist Mayte Cardona said the family paid.
Gloria Tavera, an official with the National Commission of Protected Natural Areas stated they believe Gómez's death was not related to his activism.
Michoacán state prosecutors initially found no sign of trauma and suspected drowning; a detailed autopsy revealed evidence of an asphyxiation and head injury.
State prosecutor, Adrián López Solís reported that robbery does not appear to be a motive as nearly $500 in cash was found on Gómez's body.

This was ostensibly the fourth in a series that developed designs and deployment techniques later applied to the NOSS/Whitecloud reconnaissance satellites.
It is alleged that the real name of GGSE-4 was POPPY 5B or POPPY 5b and that it was a U.S. National Reconnaissance Office satellite designed to collect signals intelligence; POPPY 5B was part of a 7-satellite mission.
Other sources say that GGSE-4 weighed only 10 pounds but that it was attached to the much larger Poppy 5, which would have weighed 85 kg and featured an 18-meter boom.
Further complications arose from the fact that GGSE-4 was outfitted with an 18 meter long stabilization boom that was in an unknown orientation and may have struck the satellite even if the spacecraft's main body did not.
Initial observations from amateur astronomers seemed to indicate that both satellites had survived the pass, with the California-based debris tracking organization LeoLabs later confirming that they had detected no new tracked debris following the incident.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo–South Sudan border is 714 km (444 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with the Central African Republic in the west to the tripoint with the Uganda in the east.
The border starts in the west at the CAR tripoint, proceeding overland in a broadly south-eastwards and then eastwards directions via series of irregular lines, terminating at the tripoint with Uganda.
The border first emerged during the Scramble for Africa, a period of intense competition between European powers in the later 19th century for territory and influence in Africa.
The process culminated in the Berlin Conference of 1884, in which the European nations concerned agreed upon their respective territorial claims and the rules of engagements going forward.
At this time the area of the modern DRC was controlled by the Congo Free State, a state held under the personal rule of Belgian King Leopold II, who had sponsored various explorations in the region under the guise of humanitarianism.
Sudan (including South Sudan) was conquered by Britain in the 1890s, who then created a condominium with Egypt called Anglo-Egyptian Sudan in January 1899.
Britain has already signed a treaty with King Leopold on 12 May 1894 outlining their respective spheres of influence in Central Africa, roughly divided along the Nile-Congo drainage divide.
However the treaty also leased large areas of land in Central Africa to the Congo Free State, including the Lado Enclave.
Administration of the Congo Free State was taken over by the Belgian government in 1908 following controversies engendered by the atrocities committed by Leopold's forces there.
The Belgian lease over Lado was terminated by an Anglo-Belgian treaty of 14 May 1910, and the area was thereafter annexed to Sudan.
Sudan gained independence in 1956, followed by the Belgian Congo (as the Republic of the Congo, later renamed Democratic Republic of the Congo) on 30 June 1960.
The porous boundary today is extremely insecure owing to the after-effects of civil wars in South Sudan, DRC and CAR, as well as the Lord's Resistance Army insurgency which has spilled over from Uganda.
It was dissolved on 4 July 1977 by the Royal Decree 1558/77, being merged with the Ministry of Defence as part of the transition.
The Ministry of the Army originated in the , which existed from the 19th century to the Second Spanish Republic, coinciding with the beginning of the Spanish Civil War and the reorganization of the governmental structure.
It was disestablished on 8 August 1939, after the end of the Civil War, when the ministries of Army, Navy and Air Force were created.
The administrative inefficiency reached the point that sometimes the departments of the Ministry encountered problems in coordinating the of Spain with each other.
Thus, the Ministry became the exponent of a bureaucratic office where it was possible to obtain a position or administrative charges depending on the services provided to the regime, or to the rampant nepotism that prevailed within the Army.
The Ministry was abolished by the Royal Decree 1558/77 of 4 July 1977, when Prime Minister Adolfo Suárez created the Ministry of Defence as part of his second government, which integrated the ministries of the Army, Navy and Air Force during the transition, following the 1977 general election.

Mônica Spada e Sousa (Bauru, September 28, 1960) is an entrepreneur, executive director of Mauricio de Sousa Produções (MSP) and inspiration of her father, Mauricio de Sousa, for the creation of the character Monica, of the Monica and Friends.
She is the second daughter of the couple, who were also parents of Mariângela, Magali and Mauricio Spada, who died in 2016.
In 1963, when she was two and a half years old, her father created the character for Folha de S. Paulo, inspired by some traits of personality and the daughter's appearance: slightly toothy, short, fat and quarrelsome, besides carrying a stuffed rabbit, but of yellow color.
The idea of creating a female character came after a journalist colleague of Mauricio said that the creator was misogynist, because he created only male characters.
Monica would discover herself to be the inspiration of the character at the age of 7 or 8, after a schoolmate told her that she was the character of the comic strips of Folha, which made her curious, and had her doubt confirmed by her father, but her acceptance was quick.
At the age of 18, she started working at the Monica and Friends park store, became interested in sales, and moved to the commercial department some time later, being currently the sales executive director of Mauricio de Sousa Produções.
The Ravens–Titans rivalry (formerly the Ravens–Oilers rivalry) is a professional American football rivalry between the Baltimore Ravens and the Tennessee Titans in the National Football League’s American Football Conference.
The Ravens was an expansion team that was placed in the AFC Central division, which included the Oilers, along with their existing rival teams in Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh.
The Ravens were a replacement franchise for the Baltimore area about thirteen years after the area’s original franchise, the Colts, relocated to Indianapolis prior to the 1984 season.
When the rivalry with the Ravens started, the Oilers were in their final year based in Houston; they would move to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1997 after a 26-year stint as a Houston-based franchise (although in their first season based in Tennessee, they played in Memphis), and to eventually become the Tennessee Titans in 1999.
As divisional rivals in the AFC Central division, the two teams had twelve regular-season meetings (plus one postseason meeting) in the years between the Ravens’ 1996 debut and the conference realignments of 2002.
When the Houston Texans were established in 2002 for the NFL to become a 32-team league, the Central divisions of both the AFC and NFC were split into two northern and southern divisions.
In the process, the Ravens, along with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals, and the Cleveland Browns were placed in the AFC North, while the Titans were placed in the AFC South along with the Texans, Jaguars, and, former AFC East member Colts.
After the formation of the northern and southern divisions, the Ravens-Titans rivalry is only renewed every four years; the last year where consecutive meetings occurred was in the 2002 season.
1520) was a European jurist who criticized the relatively new change in Christian doctrine that had become popular in the 15th century especially among Dominican inquisitors and that espoused a belief in the real supernatural power of witchcraft.
Other critics of Ponzinibio soon followed including Bartolomeo de Spina, who devoted three tracts to refuting Ponzinibio's arguments and calling upon the Inquisition to prosecute Ponzinibio under suspicions of heresy and for the defending of heretics.
According to the archivist Joseph Hansen, a foremost historian of the European witchcraft trials, no information has been found about Ponzinibio's life outside of what can be gathered from his tract.
He was the director the Faculty of Physical education at the Université de Montréal, researched the development ice hockey players, and wrote books and manual for coaches in English and French.
During the 1980s he was an assistant coach for the Canada men's national junior ice hockey team, and coached the Granby Bisons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
He was also a committee member of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, served as the technical director of the Italian Ice Sports Federation, lectured at sports-related conferences, and acted as a consultant for amateur sports organizations.
He has taught at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, the Université Laval, and the Université de Montréal where he was director the Faculty of Physical education.
His research included the detection and development of talent, growth and biological maturity and evaluation of the state of physical training.
Larivière was appointed to the Hockey Canada board of directors in July 1976, as one of the two government representatives in his role as head of physical education at the Université de Montréal.
While with Hockey Canada, he undertook missions to France and African French countries to instruct members of the youth and sports ministries.
The Canada men's national ice hockey team did not participate in the Ice Hockey World Championships or in ice hockey at the Olympic Games from 1970 to 1976.
When Canada returned to international play in 1977, Larivière collaborated with Derek Holmes to recruit players for the World Championships and for ice hockey at the 1980 Winter Olympics.
We want to enroll those players who will not make the National Hockey League until hey are 24 or 25 years of age, if ever.
With our alternative these players will compete for Canada in a top level brand of prestigious hockey, all the while getting their education at the college or university level.
He envisioned the program continuing beyond 1980, and cited the need for an elite ice hockey training program staying together for three to four years.
In February 1978, he announced funding plans to create a permanent national team similar to previous efforts by Father Bauer in the 1960s.
The multi-year plan would receive C$200,000 of the needed $900,000 from the Government of Canada to train and school 50 athletes.
In August 1980, Larivière and his Université de Montréal colleague Claude Chapleau proposed to train a group of boys aged 12 to 13 years old, in a multiple-year program.
The aim was to train more complete hockey players using the same scientific research put into effect by the Soviet Union national ice hockey team and the Czechoslovakia men's national ice hockey team during the 1960s.
Chapleau stated that the original research applied by the Europeans was developed by Canadians, but never put into effect here in Canada, and that this endeavour would be the first of its kind in North America.
Larivière was an assistant coach to Dave King on the Canada men's national junior ice hockey team which won the gold medal at the 1982 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, and was an assistant coach to Brian Kilrea on the Canadian team which placed fourth at the 1984 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.
In 1984, Larivière conducted a research project with a transceiver inserted into a hockey helmet to communicate directly with players during games.
He also created the sport school program which began training players at age 12, including on-ice and academic components similar to a university environment.
Larivière was named head coach of the Granby Bisons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) for the 1985–86 QMJHL season.
He coached the first 48 games of the season and earned 14 wins, before handing over the team to his assistants.
Future National Hockey League players he coached on the team included, Pierre Turgeon, Marc Bureau, Stéphane Quintal, Alain Côté, Martin Simard and Stéphane Roy.
Larivière later served as an assistant coach with the Saint-Jean Lynx, and as the technical director of the Italian Ice Sports Federation.
Larivière authored books and papers of his research and theories dealing with identifying and developing talent, growth and maturity, and evaluating physical fitness.
Since then, he has served as president of Tennis Québec, lectured at sports-related conferences, and acted as a consultant for sports organizations.
He noted that minor ice hockey coaches in Quebec volunteered for three years on average, which led to a high turnover rate and lack of a consistent coaching philosophy for the players.
Other problems he noted were participation in hockey as decreasing as players grew older, and the lack of year-round training for elite players compared to Europe.
Larivière co-authored a 2002 study which looked at the physical development of female athletes aged 13 to 15, with respect to the sports of tennis, swimming, figure skating and volleyball.
He noted that increasing competition for participants meant that recreational organizations should undertake quality assessments to ensure the best value and growth.
His report was the basis for a strategic development plan implemented from 2013 to 2017, which led to Judo Québec becoming the first provincial organization to earn a sport quality accreditation from Sport Québec.
On January 23, 2013, Larivière was named president of the QMJHL Technical Commission to advise on current league programs, find the best development results for its players, recommend improvements.
Larivière received of the Gordon Juckes Award from the CAHA in 1986, for outstanding contributions to national amateur hockey in Canada.

Due to the 2014 Brazilian economic crisis, the service order was suspended between 2015 and 2019, and only demolition service of the expropriated areas were made, which began in September 2017.
The long stoppage period caused the areas to cause urban degradation in the surroundings of the future stations, increasing the number of complaint from local residents and raising expectation in the construction.
Some time later, Marchetti projected the implantation of a second unit in the recent-founded borough of Vila Prudente to split up boys and girls.
The construction began in 1896 and, after a long time of stoppage and lack of resources, it was concluded in 1904.
The location of Sister Assunta Marchetti House (old Vila Prudente Orphanage), less than from the proposed station, contributed decisively for the naming.

The Royal and Venerable Brotherhood of the Most Blessed Sacrament of Mafra (), is a public association of faithful of the Catholic Church, canonically established in the Basilica of Our Lady and St. Anthony of Mafra, Portugal.
The brotherhood’s responsibilities include ceremonies, religious functions and playing liturgical pieces in the basilica's six historical pipe organs and the monumental two Mafra carillons.
The first record of the Brotherhood appears in a will dated 14 March 1597, and the oldest document outlines the Statutes agreement of 5 June 1725.
In 1835, after the extinction of religious orders in Portugal and her colonies, the Brotherhood moved to the Basilica of Our Lady and St. Anthony in Mafra, at the invitation of Queen Maria II of Portugal.
This is one of the oldest expressions of piety in Mafra, and originated from the old collegiate church of St. Andrew’s in the 17th century.
It takes place on the second Sunday of Lent, which is also known as Procession of the Encounter, and is composed of two procession routes which join together eventually.
The first procession occurred on the 27th of March 1740, as a religious festivity directly related to the work of the Third Order of Saint Francis of Mafra patron, King John V.
Most of these pieces still have the original vestments acquired by João Pedro Ludovice, son of Johann Friedrich Ludwig, the architect in charge of the Royal Building of Mafra.
The crucifix used in the litter of the stigmatisation of St. Francis in Mount La Verna is attributed to Anton Maria Maragliano, a genoese sculptor of the Baroque period.
It was offered to the Third Order of Mafra by Domenico Massa, the chief carpenter in the installation of the carillons in the towers of the Basilica.
The Brotherhood of Our Lady of Sorrows, created in 1779, in the old collegiate church of St. Andrew’s in Mafra, organized the first procession in 1793.
It takes place on Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Friday of Sorrows celebrating the Feast of the Seven Sorrows of Our Lady.
The procession is composed of seven religious litters corresponding to the seven sorrows of the Mother of Jesus, and an eighth, with the image of Our Lady of Sorrows.
It comprises more than fifty images attributed to the sculptor Joaquim José de Barros Laborão, one of the last masters from the School of Sculpture of Mafra, according to Armindo Ayres de Carvalho.
In 1773, the Third Order of St. Francis commissioned a new image of Our Lady of Solitude, this same image still used on the procession.
This ancient Catholic tradition, and unique to Mafra, is accompanied by the Centurion, a typical figure in the town’s folk art, dressed in original garments dating back to the 18th century.

Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, including the Thyreoporan Emausaurus and others not have yet been referred to a specific genus.
The layers assigned to the formation expose a group of sediments that differ from the ones present of the Posidonia Shale and other Toarcian formations of Europe.
Erratic boulders of so-called Grätensandstein (fishbone sandstone) can be dated by their ammonite content as Lower Toarcian Sandstones with concentrations of fish remains and missing ammonites known from gravel pits south of the Grimmen Anticline in Western Pomerania.
The first described deposit consist on several Grey, Plastic Clay from a 300 m railway cutting near the village of Schönenwalde, at 4 km at the north of Grimmen.
Using the Ammonites as a reference, it was established in 1909 that the Grimmen Pits where the regional equivalent of the mostly southern Germany Posidonia Shale.
During the 1950-60 there was recorded a wider distribution of the Grimmen Clay sediments on the surrounding areas, what ned to opening a Klay Pit near Klein Lehmhagen in between 1959–1961.
The liassic strata shows a clear Glacial Deformation, with several layers being deposited as a result of last Glacial period erratics.
Reptile fossils include Ichthyosauria indet., indeterminate Plesiosauria, rhomaleosaurid plesiosaurs, indeterminate Mesoeucrocodylia (probably Goniopholididae), indeterminate Thalattosuchia at least two gravisaurian sauropods and probably a Averostran theropod.

Mary Ann Aldham (28 September 1858 – 1940) was an English militant suffragette and member of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) who was imprisoned at least seven times.
She was born in Deptford in Kent in 1858 as Mary Ann Mitchell Wood, the daughter of Mary Ann and Alfred Robert Wood, a Captain; her mother died less than two months after her birth.
On 10 October 1883 Mary Ann Wood married Arthur Robert Aldham (1853-1905), a commercial clerk with the P&O Shipping Line and with him had two daughters: Mary Aldham (1885-1955) and Gertrude Aldham (1887-1909).
After joining the Women's Social and Political Union in about 1908 Aldham was arrested at least seven times: on 14 October 1908 and 19 November 1908 (as Mary Ann Mitchell Oldham); 22 November 1911; 7 March 1912; 19 March 1912; 17 November 1913 and 4 May 1914.
Aldham often used her maiden name of Wood or the assumed name Oldham (presumably because of its similarity to her real surname 'Aldham') when she was arrested.
She was among 223 women arrested in November 1911 for window breaking and was the first defendant to appear at the subsequent trial which was attended by Christabel and Sylvia Pankhurst.
Following her two arrests in March 1912 she was sentenced to six months in Holloway Prison during which she went on hunger strike but was not force-fed; she was released early from prison at the end of June 1912.
During her time in Holloway she and her fellow inmates signed The Suffragette Handkerchief which was subsequently embroidered by Janie Terrero.
In November 1913 the 55 year-old Aldham was among a group of four suffragettes who protested at the Old Bailey during the trial of Jane Short (aka Rachel Peace) who had been force-fed while on remand awaiting trial.
Aldham was to be released under the Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill Health) Act 1913, also known as the 'Cat and Mouse Act'; this released dangerously ill hunger striking prisoners until they had regained their health and could be imprisoned again to serve out the rest of their sentence.
When the Summer Exhibition opened at the Royal Academy on 4 May 1914 Aldham attended among the great crowds and attacked the portrait of Henry James by John Singer Sargent by breaking the glass and slashing the canvas three times with a meat cleaver while crying 'Votes for Women'.
On again being imprisoned in Holloway Prison awaiting trial Aldham was again released under the 'Cat and Mouse Act' and sent for treatment in a nursing home.
Her three-bar Hunger Strike Medal and other items from her time as a suffragette were sold by her family at auction in 2015 realising £23,450.
120 hills, 70 fields and 50 water bodies (lakes, rivers, and wetlands) with such word in their name have been registered.
Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine is a c.1616-1620 oil on canvas painting by Giulio Cesare Procaccini, now in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan.

The Cameroon–Nigeria border is 1,975 km (1,227 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Chad in the north to the Atlantic Ocean in the south.
The border starts in the north at the tripoint with Chad in Lake Chad, proceeding through the lake via a NW-SE straight line down to the estuary of the Ebedi river.
The border follows this river as it flows to the south-east, before turning south, proceeding overland in this direction via a series of irregular lines and some small rivers (such as the Kalia).
In the vicinity of the parallel 11°30 the border turns to the south-west, turning north-west at the town of Banki, and then south-west through the Mandara Mountains and Atlantika Mountains, occasionally utilising rivers such as the Mayo Tiel and Benue.
At about the parallel of 6°30 the border shifts to the west, using irregular lines and rivers such as the Donga, before continuing in a south-west direction via various overland lines and rivers (such as the Cross and Akwayafe), before entering the Bight of Benin just west of the Bakassi peninsula.
Britain had (via the Royal Niger Company) administered the area around Lagos since 1861 and the Oil River Protectorate (Calabar are the surrounding area) since 1884.
In 1900 the administration of these areas was transferred to the British government, with the Northern and Southern (including Lagos and Calabar) protectorates united as the colony of Nigeria in 1914.
The Scramble culminated in the Berlin Conference of 1884, in which the European nations concerned agreed upon their respective territorial claims and the rules of engagements going forward.
In April–June 1885 Britain and Germany signed a treaty outlining a border in the southern areas of Nigeria and Cameroon utilising the Rio del Rey and the Cross River.
Disagreements as to the location of the rivers mentioned in these treaties led to another treaty on 1 July 1890 modifying the southern section of the boundary, clarified by mutual agreement on 14 April 1893.
A treaty of 15 November 1893 then extended the boundary north into Lake Chad; this section was clarified in further detail on 19 March 1906.
When the First World War broke out in 1914, Britain and France invaded Cameroon and eventually defeated the Germans in 1916. on 22 June 1922 Cameroon became a League of Nations mandate, with the vast majority of the colony going to France, and smaller areas along the Nigerian border (Northern Cameroons and Southern Cameroons, the former split into two sections) in the west to Britain.
A British Order in Council of 26 June 1923 stated that thenceforth the British mandated areas would be considered administratively to form part of Nigeria.
On 2 August that same year Britain finalised the border between Northern and Southern Cameroon, which today forms much of the Taraba State section of the border.
As the movement for decolonisation grew in the post-Second World War era, Britain and France gradually granted more political rights and representation for their African colonies.
In February 1961 a plebiscite was held on the future of Britain's Cameroon mandate, as a result of which Northern Cameroons voted to join Nigeria and Southern Cameroon voted to join Cameroon, thereby fixing the border at its current position.
In 1994 a long-simmering dispute over the ownership of the Bakassi peninsula was forwarded to the International Court of Justice, ruling that the territory belonged to Cameroon in 2002.
Opposition within Bakassi to Cameroonian annexation has led to the Bakassi conflict, which has merged to some degree with the wider Anglophone Crisis crisis in the country, with vocal demands for the separation of the former Southern Cameroons as Ambazonia.
On April 8, 1954 Trans-Canada Air Lines Flight 9, a Canadair C-4 North Star four engine commercial propliner on a domestic regular scheduled flight, collided in mid air with a Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Harvard Mark II single engine military trainer on a cross-country navigation exercise over Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
Both aircraft crashed, a large section of the C-4 North Star fell on a home in the suburbs of Moose Jaw and the Harvard came down on a golf course.
All 35 people in the airliner were killed as was the lone occupant of the trainer and one person on the ground.
Investigators later stated the most likely cause of the accident was the failure of both pilots to see and avoid each other.
While flying westbound at an airspeed of 189 knots and tracking the Green One airway the C-4 North Star crew reported their position over Regina, Saskatchewan at 09:52.
Thomas Thorrat had taken off at 09:57 in a RCAF single engine trainer on a cross country flight, his ninth solo.
After departing RCAF Station Moose Jaw 4.5 miles south of the town, Thorrat set his heading to 022 degrees and began climbing to his target altitude of 9,000 feet at 108 knots.
At 10:02 as the Harvard reached 6,00 feet, it collided with the North Star at a combined speed of 261 knots over the northeastern section of Moose Jaw.
Approximately eight seconds after the collision, the C-4 North Star's forward fuselage fell on a home demolishing it and creating an inferno, killing its single occupant.
One of the Rolls-Royce Merlin engines was found in the back yard of the home set on fire, another came to rest on the towns Main Street.
The Canadian built C-4 North Star, a V-12 engine derivative of the Douglas DC-4, carried manufactures serial number 150 and had its preliminary test flight on June 16, 1949.
It was piloted by Acting Pilot Officer Thomas Andrew Thorrat, 22 years old from Kirkaldy Fife, Scotland, a student pilot with 170 total flying hours logged.
After examining all available evidence, they determined the most likely accident sequence: The Harvard struck the North Star with its propeller and starboard wing near the airliners No.1 engine, rupturing the outboard fuel tank and causing an explosion.
The inboard fuel tank in the airliners left wing then expoloded causing the No.1 engine to detach from its mount while the wing was torn from the aircraft near the root.
The Harvard's engine separated from its airframe and entered the passenger seating area, while the remaining bulk of the trainer sliced off the airliners empennage.
The severely damaged airliner continued westbound briefly, then pitched nose down and entered an almost vertical spiraling descent, as passengers and luggage were expelled from the large opening in the rear of the fuselage.
While ascending the Harvard passed through an airway regularly used by commercial aircraft and the possibility that the bright yellow Harvard was not seen by the Northstar's crew due to a window post in their line of site.
The Green One airway was diverted to the north of the town to keep airliners at a safe distance from the RCAF base.
A new regulation was implemented required aircraft flying in opposite directions maintain separate altitudes and RCAF Station Moose Jaw changed its flight rules concerning flight over Moose Jaw, mandating that operation take place south of the town.

Bridal Veil Falls is a natural waterfall, part of Collins Creek, and located in Cleburne County, Arkansas, outside of Heber Springs.
It is actually two falls in close proximity leading some to refer to one as Bridal Veil Falls, and the other as Cornelius Falls for the first owner of the property, John H. Cornelius, which was the original name for both.
It was acquired by the Young Business Men's club of Heber Springs in the 1980s, and officially made available for public use.
The Heber Springs City Parks and Recreation Department negotiated an agreement in 2012 with the YBMV to improve and maintain the falls and surrounding area for the public.

The first written mention of the village dates back to 1558 when the village named Loužná is listed in the property of Adam of Sternberg.
No information is known about the establishment of the village, but it is likely to be related to the operation of the Cistercian monastery under Zelena Hora.
On the map of the first military survey from the 1860s the village is captured without the later part of Stankovy.
At that time, the individual houses were situated practically only around a relatively large village square, on which a large cross was drawn, which preceded the local chapel, and a small pond.
It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary Queen and the pilgrimage is celebrated here on the first Sunday after 24 August.
The earliest was probably Anna Smolikova, who immigrated with her new husband Frantisek Duspiva in 1870 to St. Louis, Missouri, finally settling in Fayette County, Illinois.
Behind the village in the direction of Strážovice is a former pasture with a number of protected and endangered plant species: arnica, gentian gentian, early gentian, marsh orchid, two-leaved saxifrage and forkling.

Eleanor Whitton (1879 - 28 March 1956) was an Irish animal rights campaigner, being a founding member of the South County Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Irish branch of the International League for the Protection of Horses.
As a skilled horse rider, Whitton was one of the founding members of the South County Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) in 1905, serving as the honorary secretary until 1954.
She lead a campaign against the export of horse for slaughter in 1928 by being an establishing member of the International League for the Protection of Horses (ILPH) in Ireland, and being the honorary director for the rest of her life.
At the end of World War II, Ireland began exporting large numbers of horses for France and Belgium for horse meat, with Whitton sending a large portion of time watching the loading of live animals.
The work of Whitton and these groups came to public attention in 1952 when SPCA, ILPH, Our Dumb Friends' League and the Dublin Animals' Protection Association organised a protest march through central Dublin of 1000 people on 28 March 1952.
Whitton did not live to see the ban on live horse exports from Ireland, but the campaigns resulted in legislation being passed to that effect in 1961, 1963 and 1964.
Her work also secured the support of a number of TDs including Patrick O'Donnell, Alfred Patrick Byrne, William Norton, Patrick Cogan, Henry Morgan Dockrell, Michael Ffrench-O'Carroll, William Davin and taoiseach John A. Costello.

Ezequiel Ataucusi Gamonal (10 April 1918 – 21 June 2000), also known as Brother Ezequiel, was a Peruvian politician and prophet.
He was the founder of an Evangelical Association of the Israelite Mission of the New Universal Covenant (AEMINPU) and their theocratic party known as Agricultural People's Front of Peru (FREPAP).
In the 1950s while in his forties, Ataucusi experienced many issues with his life converted from Roman Catholicism to the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
The Evangelical Association of the Israelite Mission of the New Universal Covenant ( - AEMINPU) was created by Ataucusi in 1968 and the religion was officially recognized in Peru in 1969.
Ataucusi preached that he was chosen by god to create a new Israel in the Amazon Rainforest as a punishment of the Israeli people for their losing faith.
His followers were required to wear robes modeled from the Old Testament, though Ataucusi never wore them saying that he would only do so when the apocalypse occurred.
In 1995, investigations were opened against Ataucusi surrounding allegations of killing disagreeing followers and supposed links to Shining Path, though none of the accusations were ever confirmed.
He was the party's candidate for president of Peru two times, for 1995 election and 2000 election, though he was never elected for any political office.
He died in Miraflores, Lima due a kidney failure and his followers held a three-day funeral, waiting for his resurrection beside his body decorated with gold jewelry.
As his followers waited for his resurrection and his body began to decompose, Ataucusi's body was placed in a glass coffin.
Ataucusi's son Jonas was chosen as his successor and his party eventually grew within the Peruvian Congress following the 2020 Peruvian parliamentary election.
The Children (Abolition of Defence of Reasonable Punishment) (Wales) Bill () is a piece of legislation introduced to the National Assembly for Wales in March 2019 by Julie Morgan AM and passed on the 28 January 2020.
The bill followed the Scottish Parliament's passage in 2019 of the Children (Equal Protection from Assault) (Scotland) Act, and means people in Wales (as in Scotland) will be banned from smacking their children.
The Bill does not introduce a new offence of assault against a child, instead relying on continued prosecution using existing common law offences against the person.
The deputy social services minister Julie Morgan proposed the new law after years of breaking the Labour whip on the issue.
Under former First Minister Carwyn Jones, Labour had previously opposed a ban on smacking, however his successor Mark Drakeford (a former social worker) has been an advocate of reform.
The Labour Party whipped in favour of the Bill when brought to a final vote, while the Conservative Party allowed a free vote on the legislation.
Supporters of a ban across the UK include the Children's Commissioners for Wales, Scotland, England and Northern Ireland, while opponents have included the Be Reasonable campaign and evangelical Christian groups.
After researching similar reforms in New Zealand, the Welsh Government expects 38 prosecutions over five years, however the CPS has indicated the real number of prosecutions will be lower.
Police figures commented that despite the reform, not all smacking offences reported will be prosecuted, due to the likely use of community resolution orders, cautions, or other warnings by police may be preferred to criminal charges.

Eleno Salazar Flores (born ), also known as Pantera 6 (English: Panther 6), is a Mexican convicted drug lord and former high-ranking member of the Gulf Cartel, a criminal group based in Tamaulipas, Mexico.
He helped coordinate cocaine and marijuana shipments heading to Reynosa and Río Bravo before they were smuggled into the U.S. for further distribution.
In 2014, he was arrested by federal forces in Reynosa and imprisoned in a maximum-security facility in the State of Mexico.
In this role, he was responsible for coordinating drug trafficking shipments heading to Reynosa and Río Bravo before they were smuggled into the U.S. for further distribution.
In addition, he was also responsible for supervising human trafficking rings, arms smuggling operations and the flow of drug proceeds back into Mexico.
By working closely with Ramírez Treviño, Salazar Flores was identified as a high-ranking member of the Gulf Cartel and began having relevancy.
In the cartel, Salazar Flores was known by his alias Pantera 6 (English: Panther 6), a code name that derived from his association to the cartel faction known Los Pantera (English: The Panthers) or Grupo Pantera (English: Panther Group).
In June 2013, a federal judge in the State of Mexico issued an arrest warrant against him for his organized crime involvement and drug trafficking charges.
On 24 July 2014, Salazar Flores was arrested in Reynosa during a joint operation carried out by the Attorney General's Office (PGR), the Federal Police, the Mexican Navy and Army.
According to the National Security Commission (CNS) () chief Monte Alejandro Rubido García, his arrest was a result of law enforcement intelligence.
Security forces received a tip from an anonymous citizen who told the police of a meeting being held by organized crime members.
On 25 July 2014, several shootouts between the Federal Police and suspected gunmen of the Gulf Cartel broke out in different parts of Reynosa.
The suspects disobeyed the request and fled the scene, which triggered a vehicle persecution; a shootout then broke out between both parties.
This incident also originated from a vehicle persecution, but in this occasion one police officer was killed and two others were wounded.
Though government officials did not give an official statement on these shootouts, there were reports of more shootouts, roadblocks, and presence of armed men around Reynosa on social media.
On 25 April 2017, the Assistant Attorney General's Office for Special Investigations on Organized Crime (SEIDO), Mexico's organized crime investigation agency, confirmed that a judge in Toluca, State of Mexico, sentenced Salazar Flores to 20 years in prison and 500 days of minimum-wage fines, totaling MXN$33,645 (roughly US$1,787 in 2017).
In addition, he was found guilty of participating in cocaine and marijuana trafficking activities from Mexico to the U.S., as well as collecting taxes from independent traffickers who operated in his turf.
General elections were held in the New Hebrides in July and August 1969 to elect fourteen members of the thirty members of the Advisory Council.

On one hand where the anthem shows the spirit by lyrics and music, it was largely criticized on the other hand through social media users due to they were disappointed by it.
Completed in 2015, the 2.2-acre plaza is capable of holding over 3,000 people and has hosted numerous political demonstrations in Atlanta.
The idea of a public greenspace near the Georgia State Capitol dates back to 1910, when a tree-lined boulevard approaching the capitol was proposed.
This proposal, an example of the City Beautiful movement, was made by Atlanta-based architect Haralson Bleckley and would have seen the Gulch capped by a broad civic plaza extending from the Capitol to Terminal Station.
Other proposals made in 1927, 1932, and 1944 called for a square plaza to be built between the Capitol and Atlanta City Hall, but like the previous proposals, these never came to fruition.
Because of the lack of a plaza near the Capitol, most political demonstrations and inaugurations on the Capitol grounds were held near the western entrance of the Capitol on Washington Street, which often caused the road to be closed.
The plaza was approved in the Fall of 2013 by the Georgia Building Authority, with a cost of $4.4 million that was raised through the selling of unneeded government buildings.
With designs by architectural firm Stevens & Wilkinson, work on the plaza began on June 5, 2014 with the demolition of a 60-year-old parking garage just east of the Capitol.
The first major event held at the plaza occurred on January 12, 2015, when Governor Nathan Deal held his inauguration at the newly constructed plaza.
Notable demonstrations that have occurred at the plaza include the March for Our Lives in 2018, a climate strike in September 2019, and the 2020 Georgia March for Life.
In 2018, a Federal lawsuit was filed by organizers of the March for Our Lives in 2018 alleging that the requests process for holding a protest on the grounds was unconstitutional.
The process required any event held after normal business hours on the grounds to be sponsored by a Constitutional officer of the state, which the organizers stated was a violation of their First Amendment rights.
While the organizers were initially unable to receive a sponsorship from any of the Constitutional officers (who at the time, they pointed out, were all Republicans), Governor Nathan Deal officially sponsored the protest.
In 2018, the ACLU of Georgia sent a latter to the Georgia Building Authority (which operates the plaza) urging them to amend their policies regarding permits for holding political rallies and protests at the location.
The plaza houses model reproductions of the Liberty Bell and the Statue of Liberty that were previously held elsewhere on the Capitol grounds.
Surrounding the Liberty Bell is a ring of 13 state flags from the original Thirteen Colonies, as well as the U.S. flag and Liberty Plaza flag.
Boaz Walton Long (1876 Warsaw, Indiana–1962) was a non-career appointee who served as the American Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to El Salvador (1914-1917), Cuba (1919-1921), Nicaragua (1936-1938) and Ecuador (appointed 1938).

Get Brexit Done was a political slogan frequently used by the UK conservative party in the run up to the 2019 general election.
It reflected the party's pledge to if re-elected facilitate the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union by the end of January the following year.
All this meant that by the time of the election campaign in late 2019 Brexit had dominated British politics for more than three years, remaining a divisive issue and creating a great deal of frustration amongst the general public.
Research conducted by the guardian a week before the election found that the slogan resonated with voters in marginal constituencies Whilst, another poll by opinium from a day or two before the election found the plurality of responders wanted the EU withdrawal agreement to be passed.
Bielefeld began the season with a 1–1 draw at St. Pauli, thanks to a 90th minute Manuel Prietl header rescuing a point for Bielefeld.
They also drew their second game, a 3–3 draw at home to VfL Bochum, before recording their first win of the season with a 3–1 victory at home to Erzgebirge Aue.
Bielefeld picked up 10 points from their next 4 league games before, their unbeaten run was broken with a 1–0 defeat at home to VfB Stuttgart, with a 91st minute Hamadi Al Ghaddioui strike consigning Arminia Bielefeld to their first league defeat of the season.
Following a draw at home to Hamburger SV, They won their next three league games against Dynamo Dresden, Holstein Kiel and 1.
Though a 1–1 draw at home to SV Sandhausen meant Hamburger SV returned to the top of the table, Bielefeld returned to the top of the league with two goals from Fabian Klos and one from Andreas Voglsammer securng a 3–1 win at SV Darmstadt 98.
It had an estimated magnitude in the range 7.8–8.1 and the maximum felt intensity was IX on the Modified Mercalli intensity scale.
It caused widespread damage from at least Bolu in the west to Erzincan in the east and resulted in about 8,000 deaths.
Relative to the Eurasian Plate the Anatolian Plate is being forced westwards by the continuing northward movement of the Arabian Plate.
This 1,500 km long structure extends from the Karlıova Triple Junction in the east to the Sea of Marmara in the west.
The most recent sequence began with the 1939 Erzincan earthquake, continuing with major earthquakes in 1942, 1943, 1944, 1949, 1951, 1957, 1966, 1967, 1992 and two in 1999.
Analysis of historical records suggests that the 17 August earthquake was preceded by a number of foreshocks at the western end of the rupture zone.
The mainshock was very large, with an estimated magnitude ranging from 7.8 (based on the size of the area affected by shaking of intensity VI) to 8.0 (based on the interpreted rupture length).
Evidence of a major earthquake at about this time affecting the full 600 km has been found by trenching across the fault at many localities.
The 600 km length is based on the assumption that there was a single large event rather than several smaller events, but that would require a propagating rupture to jump across a major extensional stepover (lateral offset) of 10 km in the fault at Niksar.
Despite evidence from past events, backed up by dynamic rupture modelling, that most earthquakes are unable to jump more than about 5 km, the 2001 Kunlun earthquake shows clear evidence of propagating across a much wider stepover and this has been backed by further numerical modelling that suggests that ruptures can jump 8 km or more in the case of mature fault systems.
The 1668 earthquake is regarded as probably the first in a mainly westward propagating sequence that continued into the 19th century, including events in 1719, 1754, 1766, 1859 and 1893.

It is located about 135 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 3656 is approximately 70,000 light years across.
Other characteristics of the galaxy include the presence of a condensation at the south part of the galaxy connected with the rest of the galaxy with a ring-like feature and is associated with a bright shell.
A prominent feature of the galaxy is a dark lane running across the minor axis of the galaxy, similar to that observed in Centaurus A.
At the centre of the galaxy a warped molecular gas disk extending for about 7 kiloparsecs has been observed in H I imaging, with an estimated mass of .
The nucleus of NGC 3656 has been found to rotate around an axis that is almost perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rest of the galaxy, which is another indication of a galaxy merger.
Two supernovae have been observed in the galaxy, SN 1963K, with a peak apparent magnitude of 15, and SN 1973C, with a peak apparent magnitude of 17.
Five dwarf galaxies with estimated masses between and have been detected in HI imaging around the galaxy and are probably in the process of being accreted by NGC 3656.
Kihawahine's home is Mokuhinia (island in this fresh-water, spring-fed pond whose elevation was only about one meter above sea level) considered as capital of the Hawaiian kingdom, a pond in Lahaina.
While touring the island, in search of a suitable place for surf, Puna is dined by following Kihawahine far from the island.
The goddess cares for her beloved, but nevertheless, he is a prisoner there and knows that if he tries to escape, he will be destroyed by Kihawahine.

It has been owned and maintained by the Southend-on-Sea-based registered charity the Vulcan Restoration Trust since 1993 and carries out occasional taxi runs at London Southend Airport.
XL426 was part of the first batch of 24 Avro Vulcans ordered by the Royal Air Force on 25 February 1956.
It was built at Avro's Chadderton and Woodford plants, like other Vulcans, and was the 44th of 88 Vulcan B2s built.
On 10 September 1963, Slessor flew XL426 from CFB Goose Bay in Labrador, Canada to RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, England in 4 hours and 5 minutes, an unofficial pre-Concorde Atlantic crossing speed record.
XL426 was equipped with the nuclear missile Blue Steel until 1969, when the nuclear deterrent role was passed on to the Royal Navy.
From 1971 to 1981, XL426 mostly served with 617 Squadron but also served briefly with 27 Squadron and 230 Operational Conversion Unit.
XL426 took part in the Falklands Victory Flypast over London on 12 October 1982 (though it hadn't taken part in the war).
XL426 gave dozens of display flights from 1984 to 1986 as part of the Vulcan Historical Flight (later Vulcan Display Flight).
However, as its flying hours were running out before needing a major service, its role as a display flight aircraft was transferred to XH558, which had been retrieved from a fire dump at RAF Marham.
XL426 was put up for sale in the summer of 1986, and after a failed deal with a French consortium, it was eventually sold to businessman Roy Jacobsen of Croydon, who had purchased another Vulcan, XM655, two years prior.
The aircraft was delivered to London Southend Airport on 19 December 1986 (which would be its final flight) and became registered as a civilian aircraft on 7 July 1987 as G-VJET.
It was flown to Southend as a result of a tentative agreement with local maintenance company HeavyLift Aircraft Engineering to maintain the aircraft.
Jacobsen had plans to continue operating both aircraft for display flights and had formed an organisation called the Vulcan Memorial Flight.
However, the funds could not be found, and the aircraft sat dormant at London Southend Airport, while XM655 sat dormant at Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield in Warwickshire.
During this time, XL426 was parked on the main apron and later the grass beside the apron, in full view of the Southend terminal.
In March 1990, local enthusiasts formed the Vulcan Memorial Flight Supporters Club (VMFSC) to support Jacobsen's plans and help maintain the aircraft.
Jacobsen eventually transferred ownership of the aircraft to the VMFSC in July 1993, which reformed as the Vulcan Restoration Trust (VRT) and gained registered charity status in 1996.
The VRT adopted the secondary goal of having XL426 operate as a taxi-only aircraft for display, should the main goal of airworthiness fail.
In 1995, it was moved to its present location, a purpose-built pan by the railway line on the airport's eastern perimeter, where it was more visible.
In August 2005, the VRT suspended the aircraft's taxi runs to carry out more major servicing works, which were termed the 'Return to Power' programme.
The aircraft was repainted in 2013–2014, with the insignia of Squadrons 617 and 50 painted on opposite sides of the tail fin.
The VRT continues to run 'Visit the Vulcan' days , in which visitors can get an up-close look at the aircraft.

Sheets left Benetar's band in 1982 to focus on his own musical projects and was involved with several bands over the following decades, primarily ones associated with the glam and arena rock genres.
In the late 1980s, Sheets joined John Ondrasik (who was later known as Five for Fighting) in a glam metal band called John Scott.
According to Ondrasik, John Scott was signed to a major management deal, but the rising popularity of grunge essentially ended the band's chances of success.
The album featured Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot, Whitesnake) on bass, Jimmy Crespo (Aerosmith) on guitar, and also included three songs that Ondrasik had co-written.

The Battle of Tver took place in two stages on July 21–23, 1609 during the Russo–Polish War between the Russian army and the Polish–Lithuanian army.
After the battle of Torzhok on June 27, pan Aleksander Zborowski retreated to Tver, and large reinforcements were sent to his aid.
Therefore, Skopin-Shuisky began to operate in small horse detachments in order to lure the enemy, but the battles of the advanced detachments did not lead to anything.
Then he led the entire army, constructed as follows: in the center stood the Swedish and German infantry, on the left flank – the French and German cavalry, and on the right – the Russian.
It was planned by blows from the left flank to distract the enemy army, after which a powerful blow from the right flank to cut it off from the city and push it to the Volga.
The French and German cavalry could not stand the Polish attack and soon turned into a stampede, having suffered heavy losses.
However, the infantry in the center withstood the onslaught and was able to repel it, despite the fact that it was raining heavily (which prevented it from using firearms).
And by the Divine Grace, and by the wise providence, and by the courage of the boyar and the voivode Prince Mikhail Vasilievich Skopin, we have beaten the Polish and Lithuanian people, and have taken their camps, and have besieged Tver.
At the time when Dimitri was having so much fun, feasting and rejoicing in the camp near Moscow, the Swedish commander, Count Jacob De la Gardie, with the Russian leader, Mikhail Skopin, approached the city of Tver; they had a great battle with the Poles, and the Swedes again won, who defeated and put the Poles to flight.
At the end of the battle, the Russian commander Skopin threw himself on the neck to Count De la Gardie with tears in his eyes and thanked him that his uncle, the Grand Duke, and the entire Russian state would never be able to adequately thank him and the royal army, let alone pay for this important service.
Skopin-Shuisky took into account the experience of the battle, so he began to form the army from the peasants, which was trained by Christian Zomme.

He was also elected into the Fellowship of the Australian Academy of Science in 1962 for his contributions in the field of physics.
Giovanelli served as Chief of the Physics Division of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) from 1958–1976, during which he also became Chairman of the Australian National Committee from 1962–1965, President of the Astronomical Society of Australia from 1968–1971, and President of Commission 12 (Solar Radiation) of the International Astronomical Union from 1973–1976.
George Henry would go on to marry Lucy Ellen Arkey and have eight children, with Irwin Wilfred, Ronald's father, being born on 7 August 1887.
Irwin Wilfred earned respect and recognition as a teacher, and started serving as a headmaster at various schools in the country.
With his father becoming a headmaster, Ronald attended a variety of schools in the towns of Milton, Trundle, and Forbes in New South Wales during his early years.
Upon turning 12 years old, he moved from the country to Sydney to board privately while attending Fort Street Boys' High School.
After finishing his studies in Fort Street Boys' High School, he decided to attend The University of Sydney, where he studied a Bachelor of Science, and subsequently graduated with First Class Honours in Mathematics and Physics in 1937.
While he was completing his master's degree, Giovanelli was also appointed as a research fellow at the Commonwealth Solar Observatory (now known as Mount Stromlo Observatory) at Mount Stromlo, Canberra from 1937–1939.
Giovanelli and eight other scientists were recruited by the CSIR as research scholars to develop the NSL, primarily tasked with being able to establish national standards of measurement.
The nine scientists were to work at the British National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, South West London under the supervision of George Henry Briggs, who was Officer-in-Charge of the Physics division of the NSL during that time.
During his time in the British National Physical Laboratory, he attended scientific symposiums in The Royal Institution in London, as well as visiting The University of Cambridge, where he was able to meet Sir Arthur Eddington OM FRS due to the earlier work he conducted during his time in the Commonwealth Solar Observatory.
Giovanelli returned to Sydney in 1941 via Canada and the United States, where he visited the National Research Council of Canada in Ottawa, and the National Bureau of Standards (now known as the National Institute of Standards and Technology) in Washington, D.C.
The occurrence of World War II meant that the NSL's tasks were diverted from creating measurement standards towards more urgent war-time national defence projects.
The National Standards Laboratory was then declared as a full division in the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in 1945.
As Senior Principal Research Scientist and Leader of the Light division of the CSIRO, Giovanelli contributed greatly to Australian Standards in the fields of optics, photometry, and colorimetry.
One of Giovanelli's projects during World War II was the creation and development of special goggles for anti-aircraft spotters, with the purpose of preventing eye damage of spotters who had to observe aircraft coming from the direction of the sun in tropic environments.
He was one of many Australian scientists responsible for the production of high-grade optical glass during this time, as well as the measurement of their refractive indices and homogeneity which resulted in Australia's war requirements being met, and enabling the establishment of optical industries during the post-war period.
He worked as a finance and economy reporter for various mainstream newspapers until 2016, when he was jailed following the coup attempt in Turkey as part of Turkish government's media purge.
In 2016, he wrote for Al-Monitor, where his latest column focused on Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's increasing influence on Turkish media.
In the wake of the attempted coup on 15 July 2016, Şanlı was detained and on 29 July 2016, he was jailed pending trial on charges of being a member of an armed terrorist organization.
On 9 March 2018, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe urged Turkey to release 25 media workers, of which Şanlı was part of.
Magnesium compounds such as MgX, where X can be one of the elements Si, Ge, Sn, or Pb, are said to have an antifluorite structure because the locations of the anions and cations arereversed relative to fluorite; the anions occupy the FCC regular sites whereas the cations occupy the tetrahedral interstitial sites.
Magnesium silicide, MgSi, has a lattice parameter of 6.338 Å with magnesium cations occupying the tetrahedral interstitial sites, in which each silicone anion is surrounded by eight magnesium cations and each magnesium cation is surrounded by four silicide anions in a tetrahedral fashion.

The Lac Archambault is a freshwater body crossed from north to south by the Sautauriski River, flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the regional county municipality (MRC) La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in province of Quebec, in Canada.
The watershed of Lake Archambault is mainly served on the east side by the route 175 which connects the cities of Quebec and Saguenay.
The surface of Lake Archambault is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally from late December to early March.
It is mainly fed by the outlet (coming from the northwest) of Lac Nouvel and an unidentified stream (coming from the north).
From the mouth of Lake Archambault, the current descends on generally southward following the course of the Sautauriski River; then on generally towards the south along the current of the Jacques-Cartier River to the northeast bank of the Saint Lawrence river.
The toponymic designation of this lake was assigned in 1931 by the Commission de géographie du Québec as part of the systematic allocation of several bodies of water in Parc des Laurentides, which was partly replaced by the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve.
This systematic allocation process was intended to recall the memories of soldiers from the Royal 22e Régiment who participated in the First World War.
Enlisted in his hometown, in March 1917, in the 245th Battalion, he was transferred to the 22nd Battalion, which became the Royal 22e Régiment.
The facility has its origins in the Carlisle Union Workhouse which was designed by Henry Lockwood and William Mawson and was completed in 1863.
It became a military hospital at Easter 1917 during both the First World War and then served as a military hospital again during the Second World War.
It was subsequently converted to become St Martin's College and evolved to become the Carlisle campus of the University of Cumbria.
Renyer Luan de Oliveira Damasceno (born 12 July 2003), simply known as Renyer, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Santos as a forward.

Giovanni Nerbini (born 2 June 1954) is an Italian prelate of the Catholic Church who became Bishop of Prato in 2019.
He then entered the seminary of the Diocese of Fiesole and studied philosophy and theology at the Theological Faculty of Central Italy.
He was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Fiesole by Bishop Luciano Giovannetti on 22 April 1995 and in that diocese filled a variety of pastoral and administrative assignments.
He received his episcopal consecration from Cardinal Giuseppe Betori, Archbishop of Florence, on 30 June and was installed in Prato on 7 September.
In December 2019, Nerbini notified civil authorities of charges of sexual abuse of two brothers—one less than 14 years old—on the part nine priests and brothers of the Disciples of the Annunciation, an order founded in Prato in 2010 and suppressed by the Vatican's Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life on 24 December 2019.
His predecessor, Bishop Franco Agostinelli, had only notified Vatican authorities of the allegations and Italian law does not require bishops to notify the police.

Neil McNeil (30 December 1855 – 8 May 1927) was a prominent Australian businessman who was significant in the development of railways across Australia along with Western Australia's timber industry.
McNeil was born in the Scottish town of Dingwall as the second son of Neil MacNeil (1827–1915), a railway contractor, and Elizabeth (née Urquhart).
He then joined his father's business, soon becoming superintendent, before becoming a contractor in his own right and constructing railways in South Australia, Victoria, and Tasmania, along with the metropolitan water supply scheme in Hobart.
The Jarrahdale–Bunbury railway was proposed in 1888, and in 1893 Neil McNeil & Co constructed the Jarrahdale Junction to Pinjarra, then Pinjarra to Picton Junction lines.
Other business interests included mines, orchards in Mount Barker and the Blackwood River area which exported fruit, and horse breeding for carriages.
Théo Klein (25 June 1920 – 28 January 2020) was a French lawyer who notably presided over the Conseil Représentatif des Institutions juives de France from 1983 to 1989.
Klein joined the Eclaireuses et Eclaireurs israélites de France shortly before the Second World War, and then continued practicing with them in Vichy after the war.
From 1942 to 1944, he was one of the leaders of the Jewish resistance in German-occupied Europe, helping produce false documents for Jewish people, and rescuing Jewish children and sending them to Switzerland.
Théo Klein became a lawyer with the Court of Appeal of Paris in 1945 and was admitted to the Israel Bar Association in 1970 as a member of the International Court of Arbitration.
From 1945 to 1950, he served as President of the Union des étudiants juifs de France, of which he was a co-founder.
From 1970 to 1973, Klein was Vice-President of the Conseil représentatif des institutions juives de France (CRIF), and was president from 1983 to 1989.
In 2012, Klein broke his ties with CRIF in a letter to then-President Richard Prasquier, criticizing his response to the Muhammad al-Durrah incident.
In the 1980s, along with Jacques Chirac, Jack Lang, and Claude-Gérard Marcus, Klein was a key figure in the opening of the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire du Judaïsme.

In the early part of the twentieth century, the main express passenger services of the NER were mostly being hauled by 4-4-0 locomotives.
The newest of these were Class R, thirty of which were built between 1899 and 1901; they were supplemented by the five 4-6-0 locomotives of Class S1 built in 1900–01.
The southern partner of the NER in the East Coast route was the Great Northern Railway, which since 1898 had built a number of 4-4-2 locomotives (GNR Class C1) which proved capable of hauling the heaviest expresses of the period; and so Worsdell decided upon the same wheel arrangement for a new class for the NER.
The first ten, built at Gateshead in 1903–04, were assigned Class V; the second ten, built at Darlington in 1910 had some detail differences and were assigned Class V/09 (or V1 according to some sources), the /09 suffix referring to the year that the design was prepared.
All twenty passed to the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at the 1923 Grouping, becoming LNER Class C6, and they retained their numbers on the LNER.
The locomotives were built to haul express passenger trains on the East Coast Main Line between and , with a change of locomotives at .
By the end of 1920, most of the class were allocated to the two main Newcastle-area depots, ten at Gateshead and eight at Heaton; but the remaining two were at York.
By Grouping, three had been reallocated to Tweedmouth, and York had gained a further two, leaving seven at Gateshead and six at Heaton.
The York engines were mainly used between York and Newcastle; those at Tweedmouth worked between Berwick and Newcastle; but the Gateshead and Heaton engines could be used between Newcastle and York, Newcastle and Leeds, or between Newcastle and Edinburgh.
532 in January 1943; later that year, the nineteen surviving locomotives were allotted new numbers 2930–48, but by the time the scheme was published, no.
The actual renumbering did not commence until 1946, by which time several more had been withdrawn, and only seven were ultimately renumbered.
2933 and 2937, remained in service at nationalisation, but both were withdrawn in March 1948 before the British Railways renumbering was prepared.
Nicole Aish (maiden name Jefferson, born March 8, 1976) is a long distance runner who is a U.S. National Championship Marathon winner and a bronze medalist at the 2003 Pan American Games in the 5,000 metres.
Aish set multiple school records on her way to becoming the national champion at the 1998 and 1999 NCAA Division II Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the 3,000 metres.
She finished her college career also as the one mile national champion in the 1999 NCAA Division II Women's Indoor Track and Field Championships.
She finished with a time of 2:40.21, which happened to be the slowest winning time, likely due to the heat—the temperature at the starting line was more than 70 degrees F. Although her hamstrings cramped and she walked briefly, Aish won with a comfortable lead.
She still competes in shorter distance races, such as the FireKraker 5k for the 4th of July in her hometown in Colorado.
Aish is married to Michael Aish, a long distance runner who competed for the 2000 and 2004 New Zealand Olympic Team.

The 33rd Guards Rifle Division was formed as an elite infantry division of the Red Army in May, 1942, based on the 2nd formation of the 3rd Airborne Corps, and served in that role until after the end of the Great Patriotic War.
It was the second of a series of ten Guards rifle divisions formed from airborne corps during the spring and summer of 1942.
It was briefly assigned to the 47th Army in the North Caucasus Front but was soon moved to the Volga Military District and saw its first action as part of 62nd Army in the fighting on the approaches to Stalingrad.
It was withdrawn east of the Volga in September, but returned to the front with the 2nd Guards Army in December, and it remained in this Army until early 1945.
After helping to defeat Army Group Don's attempt to relieve the trapped 6th Army at Stalingrad the 33rd Guards joined in the pursuit across the southern Caucasus steppe until reaching the Mius River in early 1943.
Through the rest of that year it fought through the southern sector of eastern Ukraine as part of Southern Front (from October 20, 4th Ukrainian Front) and in the spring of 1944 assisted in the liberation of the Crimea, earning a battle honor in the process.
The Crimea was a strategic dead-end, so 2nd Guards Army was moved north to take part in the summer offensive through the Baltic states and to the border with Germany as part of 1st Baltic Front.
During the offensive into East Prussia the division and its 13th Guards Rifle Corps was reassigned to 39th and the 43rd Armies before returning to 2nd Guards Army in April.
The 3rd Airborne Corps had been formed for the second time in October, 1941 in the North Caucasus Military District and had stayed there in reserve until it was converted to the 33rd Guards on May 30, 1942.
Along with the 32nd Guards Rifle Division it was immediately assigned to 47th Army in North Caucasus Front, but by July 1 the 33rd had been moved to the 7th Reserve Army in the Reserve of the Supreme High Command.
By July 12 the situation facing the Soviet armies in the Caucasus region was becoming increasingly grim under the impact of the German Case Blue.
German 6th Army was ordered to continue its eastward advance as soon as possible after July 17, but this was delayed by heavy rains; it was not until the 20th that LI Army Corps' lead divisions were able to engage and defeat the forward elements of 62nd Army on the Tsutskan River.
By late on the next day five of the Army's divisions were deployed uniformly south to north across the Great Bend of the Don from Surovikino on the Chir River to Kletskaya on the Don.
On July 22 the XIV Panzer Corps and VIII Army Corps caught up and by the evening Kolpakchi reported that his divisions were engaging German tanks and infantry all along the line.
The 3rd and 60th Motorized and 16th Panzer Divisions advanced rapidly the next day, tearing through 62nd Army's forward security belt and advancing 24-40km, about halfway to the crossing points over the Don at Trekhostrovskaya and Kalach.
By this time the 6th Army commander, Army Gen. F. Paulus, was planning to encircle 62nd Army west of the Don with his XIV Panzer and VIII Corps as a preliminary to an advance on Stalingrad.
His two motorized divisions sliced through the 192nd Rifle Division on the Army's left wing and moved more than 50km southeast to within 10km of Kalach.
16th Panzer and the 113rd Infantry Division penetrated the center of the line and forced Kolpakchi's forces back another 15km towards the Don; 33rd Guards reported it was in battle with a group of 150 tanks.
By the end of the day the division was loosely encircled on the high ground in the Maiorovskii region along with portions of the 192nd and 184th Rifle Divisions plus the 40th Tank Brigade and 644th Tank Battalion.
At this critical moment XIV Panzer Corps had to slow its advance due to acute fuel shortages and stiff resistance north of Kalach.
Kolpakchi began organizing counterattacks by most of the 13th Tank Corps to break through 16th Panzer while Zhuravlyov, who was out of communication with the rear, ordered his group to break out northward toward Kletskaya.
VIII Corps' 113rd and 100th Jäger Divisions, supported by most of 16th Panzer's tanks, had to simultaneously contain two Soviet bridgeheads south of the Don, defeat and destroy Group Zhuravlyov, and fend off attempts to relieve the pocket.
Zhuravlyov's force remained hard pressed and late on July 27 Kolpakchi reported:By nightfall the tanks of 13th Tank Corps had driven a deep wedge through the forward defenses of 16th Panzer, despite being reduced to a strength of about 40 vehicles.
At 1500 hours on July 28 the 13th Tanks linked up with 40th Tank Brigade and units of the 192nd and 184th Divisions.
In desperation, Paulus ordered elements of VIII Corps to move southward both to block any attempt by Group Zhuravlyov to withdraw to the east and to relieve elements of 16th Panzer which were now encircled.
On July 29 Zhuravlyov ordered a breakout to the northeast to link up with 22nd Tank Corps which was reported to be advancing to the rescue.
Burdened with 500 wounded and running out of fuel and ammunition, the Group followed the remnants of 13th Tanks in a two-day running battle, finally reaching 4th Tank Army's lines near Oskinskii and Verkhne-Golubaya late on July 31.
As of July 30 the 62nd Army reported that 33rd Guards had 5,613 men on its strength, which would suggest that only part of it had been in the pocket.
Attacking southward on August 7 from the Maiorovskii region, 30km northwest of Kalach, multiple battlegroups of 16th Panzer smashed through the defenses of 33rd Guards and 131st Rifle Divisions and reached the northern outskirts of the town by nightfall.
The remaining units in the bridgehead fared no better from the tank and infantry onslaught and shortly after dark the 24th Panzer Division linked up with the 16th to complete its encirclement.
33rd Guards took over a defensive sector from units of the 181st Division along a line from Hill 189.9 to Hill 191.2 to Berezovyi.
The next day the two panzer divisions began pressing the eastern face of the pocket back towards the west while divisions of the LI, XI Army and XXIV Panzer Corps drove in other sectors of the perimeter.
On August 9 the 33rd Guards and 181st were located in the Plesistovskii-Dobrinka region and had been ordered to fight their way to Kalach.
By 0400 hours the next morning they had reached to within 22-25km northwest of this objective, but on August 11 the Army stated it had lost communications with four encircled divisions including 33rd Guards.
6th Army announced the completion of the battle the following day, along with the elimination of eight rifle divisions; Soviet documents indicate that roughly half of the encircled troops managed to escape east across the Don but as of August 20 this included just 48 men of the 91st Guards Regiment.
On August 15 Colonel Afanasyev was appointed to command of the 2nd formation of the 5th Airborne Corps and was replaced by Col. Aleksandr Ivanovich Utvenko.
When 6th Army began its dash for the Volga on August 21 the division was thrown in to help man defenses north of the corridor east of the Rossoshka River.
Novikov had been made a Hero of the Soviet Union in October, 1943 for his leadership of the 1031st Rifle Regiment of the 280th Rifle Division in the crossing of the Dniepr River in September of that year.
On May 17 the 33rd Guards was decorated with the Order of Suvorov, 2nd Degree, for its part in battle for Königsberg.

The Bras du Nord is a tributary of the Valin River, flowing in the unorganized territory of Mont-Valin and in the municipality of Saint-David-de-Falardeau, in the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in Quebec, in Canada.
A secondary forest road serves the southwest bank of the Bras du Nord valley and the lakes upstream; other secondary forest roads have been developed in the sector for the needs of forestry and recreational tourism activities.
The surface of the North Arm is usually frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March.
This source is located east of the Baie de la Brûlée du Lac La Mothe, southeast of the dam at the mouth of Onatchiway Lake, to the North-East of the dam at the mouth of lac La Mothe, in the North-East of the mouth of Bras du Nord, West of Moncouche Lake (Mont-Valin) and North of Saguenay River.
The mouth of the Bras du Nord spills onto the west bank of the Valin River at the foot of the Chute à Banc d'oeuvre.
From the mouth of the Bras du Nord, the current follows the course of the Valin River, then the course of the Saguenay river up to Tadoussac where it merges with the St. Lawrence river.
The name of this old toponym evokes the career of the painter Antoine-Sébastien Falardeau (Cap-Santé, August 13, 1822 - Florence, Italy, July 14, 1889); Falardeau had a career mainly in Italy, his second homeland.
His training as a painter is little known; he took painting lessons and was apprenticed as a sign painter with Robert Clow Todd in 1841 in Quebec.
It is possible that the Italian painter G. Fassio, who had been staying in this city since 1835, oriented him towards Italy and taught him the basics of Italian.
After difficult years, his reputation was established: Charles III, Duke of Parma, appointed him knight of the order of Saint Louis, January 17, 1852.
He married Caterina Manucci-Benincasa, daughter of the Marquis Francesco Mannucci-Benincasa Capponi, in 1861, with whom he had at least three children.
The Canadian government commissioned him in 1882 to paint a portrait of Joseph-Adolphe Chapleau, a former premier of the province of Quebec.

Raised in Yonkers, Sayegh was an educator with Yonkers Public Schools from 1973 until 2008, and worked as a school superintendent in 2010 and 2011.
In 2018, Sayegh announced he would run for the Assembly seat vacated by Shelley Mayer, who had been elected to the State Senate in a special election.
In June 2019, following the 2019 outbreak of measles in New York, a bill to eliminate religious and philosophical exemptions for vaccinations became deadlocked in the Assembly Health Committee, 13–13.
That October, Sayegh introduced a bill to establish a special driver's license for people with autism, in order to prevent potentially dangerous misunderstandings during traffic stops or other interactions with law enforcement.
Some advocates voiced concerns over the bill, given that some individuals on the autism spectrum may not want to reveal their status to employers.

Based out of the that originated from , the Shinkengers use the kanji-based power called , which is passed down from one generation to the next (currently on the 18th Generation).
Once becoming a Shinkenger, they must renounce their past lives in order to keep their friends and family safe in case a member of the Gedoushu targets them.
He was raised since childhood by Hikoma Kusakabe to act the role of the 18th head of the Shiba House after his father gave him the Sisi Origami.
His upbringing made him create a facade to look very arrogant and proud to others, claiming none can match his strength and greatness, while keeping his cool in any situation.
Though he was reluctant to have the vassals fight by his side, as he wanted no one else to bear the burden, he allowed their involvement after giving them the choice to turn back or become Shinkengers out of want rather than need, as long as they are willing to finish their mission to the last detail.
By the time Genta arrives, Takeru's facade is revealed as he now questions himself of how it makes him strong along with learning he shares similar attributes with Juzo before defeating him.
While at times it may not appear so, Takeru does cares greatly for his vassals and when Genta arrives, he becomes more open with them.
However, in a fight against Juzo, it is revealed that Takeru started to value his life more which, in Juzo's opinion, makes him weaker and makes Takeru doubt himself.
In reality, Takeru has been acting as a for the true 18th head of the Shiba Clan, Kaoru, who was not yet born at the time of her father's death, having been chosen for his proficiency with Modikara and his swordsmanship.
When Kaoru is injured while attempting to use the Sealing Character on Doukoku, she formally adopts Takeru, making him the 19th head of the Shiba House.
After defeating Doukoku in the final battle, Takeru says goodbye to Kaoru and his vassals and stays in the Shiba House with Hikoma, resuming his days now as a true samurai, though it is implied that he remains in contact with his friends.
As Hikoma insists that Takeru should start learning new things instead of just working as a samurai (such as playing the guitar or learning conversational English), he stands by the front door of the Shiba House, recalling his moments as Shinken Red.
Should he make a mistake in front of his lord, Ryunosuke will discipline himself severely; he once stood under a public fountain begging for forgiveness.
Ryunosuke is also the engineer behind many of the Samurai Combinations, having figured out how to combine the Origami into Tenku-Shinkenoh and later into Samuraihaoh.
When Kaoru reveals herself, Ryunosuke becomes confused about whom to follow, because he had pledged his life to the head of the Shiba family.
After he receives some advice that clears his mind, he goes to Takeru, saying that he has pledged his life to Takeru Shiba, and only Takeru Shiba, and he will fight under him until the end.
When she was a little girl, her childhood was pushed aside when her parents moved to Hawaii without a word and left her in the care of her grandmother, who schooled her in the ways of bushidō.
Though she is a horrible cook (none of the boys can stomach her cooking), Mako tries her best in order to achieve her dream of becoming a good wife and mother.
Eventually, Mako is reunited with her parents and learns that her mother had become paralyzed from the waist down as a result of her tenure as the previous Shinken Pink.
Because of her gentle nature, she can read other people well, especially Takeru, and readily gives her opinion regarding the situation in question.
The only reason he even worked with Takeru was because he thought it would be fun and he wanted to protect people.
He is a great strategist despite his delinquency, and comes to respect Takeru as a rival when he realizes the limits of his own abilities, pledging to pass Takeru in skill someday.
Chiaki was without his mother from an early age and was raised solely by his father, who planted in him the seed of his interest in martial arts.
Despite not being formally trained, he is an excellent strategist and adept with surprise attacks, thanks to his imagination and free-spiritedness.
Even though he often butts heads with Ryunosuke, Chiaki respects him immensely for his skill; in fact, they work together so well that they become able to perform tasks in sync with one another.
He prefers American surf wear and skate wear brands like Vans and especially Gotcha, whose vintage shirts he wears in most episodes.
Very much a crybaby as a child, she is close to her older sister, Mitsuba, who had been training to be Shinken Yellow.
She has rather low self-esteem; she genuinely believes that she is stupid (she claims that the only things that she is proficient at are her swordsmanship and her flute playing) and, despite her teammates' affection for her, often feels that she is a bother to them.
However, her spirits are raised after she receives a letter from Mitsuba, in which Mitsuba says that Kotoha is the true Shinken Yellow.
is the son of a sushi chef who mysteriously disappeared prior to the beginning of the series, and a childhood friend of Takeru's.
Years later, he is shown to have inherited the sushi cart and to have developed his own , using the Sushi Changer to type the kanji needed.
Genta considers himself Takeru's best friend, despite their personalities being complete opposites; Genta is as hyperactive and expressive as much as Takeru is reserved and stoic.
When Kaoru reveals herself, Genta immediately disapproves of her because of his relationship with Takeru, but later accepts her when he sees that she is very kind.
As , he is the and uses sushi-themed accouterments to transform and battle, like exploding chopsticks that he uses as a projectile weapon.
He is considered a genius in using Modikara and is also one of the few who can use Modikara to create Origami, as well as being the only one in the group able to complete the Inromaru.
After the Shinkengers defeat an Ayakashi in battle, Shinken Gold encourages everyone to do a victory clap before Shinken Red's ending catch phrase.
As the head of the Shiba House, Kaoru is the one who possesses the knowledge of the also known as the , a Modikara passed along the Shiba bloodline (the kanji is fictional, but is composed of the kanji for , , , and ).
When she grows tired of living in hiding, she masters the Sealing Character to defeat the Gedoushu and assumes her birthright.
Even though she is kind and easy to work with, she underestimates the vassals' dedication to Takeru, and when she is injured in attempting to use the Sealing Character, she adopts Takeru and gives up her birthright to allow Takeru to lead the Shinkengers in defeating Doukoku.
Every year, he gets one day off, which he uses to visit his wife's grave and visit his daughter and granddaughter.
His relationship with Takeru and his vassals runs deep; he takes great care to ensure that they are safe and that they are ready to fight, and he supplies them with information and weaponry.
Though Genta frequently annoys him, Hikoma acknowledges the younger man's skill with Modikara and eventually does accept and connect with him.
When Kaoru makes her appearance, Hikoma remains loyal to Takeru, but bears no ill will towards Kaoru; he respects her for both her title and for the kind and diligent young woman that she is.
After the final battle, he stays with Takeru even when he insists that he go visit his family and encourages Takeru to join him to experience other lifestyles other than just the samurai life.
As they do not possess Modikara proficiency, they are not able to fight against the Gedoushu physically and as such, they are not directly involved in combat, although they do help evacuate civilians away from danger.
They are skilled in many comparatively mundane things and are tasked with doing household chores, and help citizens in the nearby town to the best of their ability, when the Shinkengers are not in battle.
But with Modikara of and the command , the Origami can be enlarged into giants with the Shinkengers using their Shinkenmaru as control sticks.
The three support Origami, two of which were reclaimed after being lost in the last great battle with the Gedoushu, are summoned using each Secret Disk and require twice the amount of Modikara than the regular Origami.
is a giant robot formed by the five main Origami when the Shinkengers write the kanji for to make their Origami combine and they undergo .
The Sisi Origami head on its body can breathe fire in the attack, takes to the air with the , separate from the Kame Origami to execute the , and separate from the Saru Origami to execute the .
is formed from Shinkenoh and DaiTenku when the kanji for is written, giving it the ability to fly and perform the finisher.
is a giant robot that is formed from the Ebi Origami having undergone the , initiated by Shinken Gold entering the kanji for on the Sushi Changer.
The Ebi Origami becomes golden samurai armor for Shinkenoh and replaces the Kame and Saru Origami as arms, which attach to the back of Daikai-Shinkenoh.
It can perform the finisher with the Lobster Swords and during this attack sequence, the Japanese flag can be seen briefly.
is the combination of the Kabuto, Kajiki, Tora, and Ika Origami which acts as a cannon and platform for another Samurai Giant to use as a weapon to perform its finisher.
is a support robot created by Genta during his temporary fear of sushi, infusing his Electronic Modikara with a lantern in his sushi cart to be able to fight for him when needed, referring to his creator as .
He is normally in the splintered form of the Secret Disk shooting , which forms the majority of his robot mode, and the , which Shinken Gold uses as a weapon to execute the attack; this part forms DaiGoyou's arms.
He forms into his giant robot mode, a transformation called initiated by Shinken Gold entering the kanji for on the Sushi Changer or the others writing it down with their Shodo Phone.
His techniques include the and the , and he can retract his head and compress his torso to dodge enemy attacks.
Ryunosuke points out that these were mere guardsmen and not samurai, so the kanji for Samurai on DaiGoyou's lantern is actually a misrepresentation, much to Genta and DaiGoyou's chagrin.
Mougyudaioh's finisher is the where its uses the Modikara for to fire its gatling cannon while unleasing a burst of Modikara from the disk loaded on its head.
The transformation finishes when the Lobster Swords attach to the Samurai Giant's helmet and Mougyudaioh's cannon attaches above the helmet, prompting the Shinkengers to say .
Unfortunately, not knowing that it required Takeru's command through the use of Modikara, the Origami Giants merely stacked one on top of the other, Chiaki's being the bottom, followed by Ryunosuke, Mako above, Kotoha on the top, and Takeru floating around.
The Gedoushu are malevolent spirits who arise as the result of sin-tainted souls that enter into the within the land of the dead.
The Gedoshu maintain their wretched existence with the water of the Sanzu, and in order to maintain the river's levels, they constantly enter into the human world with the intent of running amok in order to feed the river with negative emotions of humans.
If a Gedoshu spends too long in the human world, it eventually dries out, and petrifies if it can not return to the Sanzu.
Cursed to be in a state between life and death, a Gedoushu can only be free of its existence if it is slain upon taking its Second Life, or if it is able to let go of the upādāna that damned it in the first place.
Using their ability to enter the living world through cracks and narrow gaps, Doukoku's minions set up a plan to terrorize humans in any way possible so that the river overflows to point of flooding into the mortal realm in order for them to invade in full fury.
(1-40 & 47-49) is the leader of the Gedoushu and is armed with the , the , and possessing the power to seal his fellow Gedoushu.
He is in a constant state of rage, originally endless until he heard the sound of Usuyuki's shamisen, becoming obsessed with her as he later takes her upon her rebirth into Dayu to soothe his rage along with sake.
He targeted the Shiba House's previous Shinkengers, making it his goal to completely eliminate the Shiba House so no one would be able to stop him.
To reach his goal again, Doukoku sends out Ayakashi to terrorize humans so the Sanzu River can overflow its banks into the mortal realm and enable him to unleash his full fury.
This method of attack was later revealed to how he loses the rejuvenating qualities of its waters much faster than any other member of the Gedoushu and takes longer to soak the river's waters back into his body.
Learning of the seal placed on him, Doukoku briefly changes his plans to target Takeru as the death of the Shiba House would ensure that he would never be sealed again.
But when that plan failed, Doukoku has his force carry on the original plan without giving wind of this knowledge to any Ayakashi with his own agenda.
During the summer while in a comatose state that leaves him open to his enemies, Doukoku manages to suppress his magnified power.
Later, after learning of Akamaro's true colors, Doukoku risks his life to enter the mortal realm to repair Dayu's shamisen after driving off Akumaro and defeating Shinken Red.
But after the Shiba Clan true's eighteenth head is revealed, Doukoku's followers attempt to speed up his awakening by increasing the amount of suffering until Dayu uses Shinza's anguish to bring Doukoku back to the mortal realm.
After absorbing Dayu's energy to heal his body, Doukoku gains immunity to the Sealing Character and can now endure being in the mortal realm without drying up.
As a result, Doukoku overpowers the Shinkengers before bringing the Rokumon Junk into the mortal realm when the Sanzu River floods the city.
Thinking he had broken the Shinkengers' spirits when they attempt to defeat him, Doukoku is immobilized before Shinken Blue delivers the final blow.
Assuming his second life, Doukoku overpowers Samuraihaoh, blasting it and throwing off its components until only Shinkenoh remains, then impales it on his sword.
(1-48) is Doukoku's right hand and the only one he is kind to, provided she knows her place as his obedient, unquestioning servant.
Doukoku takes her in after her rebirth as a Gedoushu, giving her the name she now goes by and telling her that she has nowhere else to go but to him.
Scorned that he loved another woman instead of her, Usuyuki set fire to the building holding his wedding ceremony, killing him, his bride, and the entirety of their wedding party, in a suicidal crime of passion.
Seeing that her love would remain unrequited to the bitter end, Usuyuki's emotions corrupt her soul and caused her rebirth into Tayu.
The transformation also forcefully bonded Shinza's soul into the shamisen that Tayu carries with her, creating the eerie and unsettling songs that serve to soothe Doukoku's rage.
Of all the Gedoushu, Tayu has the most trouble getting along with the Ayakashi because of her previous life as a human, which she makes attempts to reclaim.
One failed attempt results with her being saved by Juzo, developing feelings for the Gedounin as she begins to defy Doukoku's orders with her shamisen damaged as a result.
Though her feelings for Shinza had long died, Tayu refuses to give him up as it would end her existence and desires to know the purpose behind it.
Leaving Doukoku, Tayu wanders aimlessly until she is found by Akumaro who recruits her to his group in return for her instrument's restoration.
Upon learning that Akamaro never intended to repair her instrument, she attempts to reclaim her shamisen until Dokouku comes to her aid, using a piece of his body to restore the shamisen and reminding her of her place by his side.
To that end, after finally having the answers to her questions, Tayu deliberately has Shinken Pink destroy her shamisen to not only discard her past life, but to also use Shinza's anguished soul to revive Doukoku.
She later uses the last of her powers to restore Doukoku's body, giving him immunity to the Sealing Character and independence from the Sanzu River.
Because of the nature of rendaku in Japanese, her name is only Usukawa Dayu when it is said in full; otherwise, it is Tayu.
Though he warns Doukoku not to trouble himself with the Shiba House's sealing character so not to attract attention from certain Ayakashi, Shitari recruits Isagitsune in an attempt to slake his curiosity on what the sealing character is.
He later recruits Oinogare in an attempt to re-open a well the Gedoushu used in the past as their base of operations by sacrificing nine maidens, formally introducing himself to the Shinkengers as a result.
While Doukoku is in a vulnerable state struggling with his surging power, the rogue Ayakashi Gozunagumo bullies Shitari into extorting the sealing character from Shinken Red.
Despite poisoning Takeru, Shitari fails to get him to reveal the sealing character due to the combined interference of Shinken Gold and Juzo.
When Doukoku revives and punishes Gozunagumo, Shitari freely confesses that the one thing he values above Doukoku is his own life and gains forgiveness from his leader out of amusement with his honesty.
When Akumaro arrives, Shitari expresses a great deal of distrust over the mysterious Gedoushu and not as much shocked when his impression of him was accurate yet was powerless to do anything against him as he realized Akumaro's intentions.
After Dayu returns, Shitari decides to kill off Takeru, only to learn the truth behind him and the Shiba House's true leader and giving up one half of his life, in an attempt to speed up Doukoku's reawakening at the cost of having no second life should he be killed.
He remains on the Rokumon Junk during Doukoku's final battle with the Shinkengers, going down with the ship as it sinks in response to its master's death while proclaiming that he will survive regardless of what happens.
But during the climatic battle, gathering an army of followers to kill Buredoran and reclaim the Sanzu River, Shitari ends up facing the Gokaigers when they traveled from the near future and they mistakenly believe him to be a hindrance in their own affairs.
(7-47) is a mysterious Gedoushu, regarded by the others as a lone wolf, yet he seems to know more than Doukoku about the Sanzu River's true potential.
200 years ago, Fuwa was a samurai in life who made a living as an assassin, disenchanted with the ways of bushidō and thriving more on the pleasure of killing his opponents in battle until he can no longer be physically able to wield a sword.
He meets Akumaro who provides him with the katana , seemingly unaware that the blade was forged from the souls of his family who tried to free him from his blood lust.
When he contracts a fatal illness, Fuwa enters the Sanzu River to cheat death, completely discarding the goodness in his heart to become a , a half-Gedoushu that can freely exist in both realms and assume a human form.
However, unlike other Gedounin who die out in a few years, Fuwa endured over the centuries and thus is condemned with an insatiable urge to find an ideal opponent, a fellow samurai who strays from the teachings of bushidō, to clash blades with.
As a result, Fuwa mistakes the blade's cries of sadness for an equal lust for battle, believing that the souls of his family have lost their desire to stop him after he entered the Sanzu River.
This obsession with fighting Shinken Red leads Doukoku to seal Fuwa's Gedoushu powers, leaving him for dead in the Sanzu River.
Although he barely survives with Dayu's aid, he continues to defy Doukoku by making sure that Takeru is at his strongest for their next fight, even curing him of Shitari's poisoning.
After a long battle in which he manages to severely wound Shinken Red, Fuwa is defeated and falls off the cliff into the ocean below.
He remains in the mountainside until Dayu finds him and relays Akumaro's offer to work for him in return for restoring his blade.
Later fed up waiting for the Uramasa to be repaired, Fuwa confronts Akumaro and learns his weapon's origins and that he is a pawn in Akumaro's plan.
However, tricking Akumaro into giving him back his weapon and cutting him down, Fuwa reveals he knew the truth behind Uramasa from the first time he held it, thus preventing Akumaro from fulfilling his plan.
Later, after the real Shiba House head is revealed, Fuwa gets Takeru to duel him once again before finally falling to him in battle with a delayed hit after Uramasa finally stops its master and denies him his only desire.
Uramasa remains in the physical world after Fuwa fades away until the souls that formed it are finally able to depart into the afterlife.
is a Gedoushu general with six slitted eyes and rictus grin, whose ambition is to see Hell and savor the immense suffering that it holds.
A master of the black arts, Akumaro can create monsters called Kirigami and teleport short distances to catch his opponents off guard.
Akumaro's modus operandi is to set up far-reaching plots with dangerous consequences that would ultimately result in the completion of the , a spell that opens up the gates of Hell.
To that end he needed a Gedonin, killing off Juzo's family to create Uramasa and setting up his descent into Gedou.
While pretending to aid Dokoku's group in raising the levels of the Sanzu River, taking any abuse from Doukoku to keep up his act, Akumaro starts setting up markers and recruits Juzo and Dayu into his service to make use of them.
However, with Doukoku resting, Akumaro takes the Rokumon Junk as his own while making the finishing touches on his master plan by completing the final marker to open up Hell and finishing Uramasa's repairs.
Although he comes close to his goal, Akumaro is left with nothing when he realizes Juzo can not complete the Urami Gandōgaeshi and goes into an enraged fury before the Shinkengers use the Rekka Daizantou and Super Mougyu Bazooka to slay him.
After becoming a giant, Akumaro battles the Samurai Giants and DaiGoyou with his Kirigami before Samuraihaoh uses the Kyoryu Origami to form Super SamuraiHaOh and destroy him, with Akumaro laughing as his desire to see Hell is finally granted with his death.
However, he is revived by Doukoku along with his followers during the summer-time and offers to kill off the Shinkengers for him with no intent on ruling the mortal realm.
With his massive army, Manpuku overwhelmed the Shinkengers until Shinken Red breaks the seal on the Kusare Gedoushu's body to restore the Kyoryu Disk to its full power.
After being slain by the five Shinkengers, revived as a giant as he opens up into his true form with a serpentine creature sticking out of his stomach, Manpuku is destroyed by Kyoryu-Shinkenoh.
Aided joined by the Ayakashi Madakodama, Buredoran brainwashes Shinken Red so he can use their talents in a scheme to open a portal to the Gosei World and transfer the entire Sanzu River there, not caring on the survival of the Gedoushu without the water.
After the latter is freed from his control, Buredoran battles GoseiRed and ShinkenRed with phantoms in his Warstar and Yuumaju forms before being defeated.
Though mortally wounded by Ground Hyper Gosei Great's Mojikara Headder Strike, Buredoran's near lifeless body is later revealed to be discovered by Matrintis Empire's Metal-Alice.
The are the Gedoushu's foot soldiers, armed with bajō-zutsu, monk's spades, yumi, and daos, they can freely enter the mortal realm at whim.
There are another group of Nanashi known as the , who are naturally born giant with a flying variation called the .
In the film, the Kusare Nanashi and Kusare Ōnanashi Companies, part of the Kusare Gedoushu, resemble normal Nanashi and Ōnanashi but in purple garbed attire.
In the Special DVD, a rogue member of the Nanashi Company serves as the main antagonist after stealing the Inromaru and using it to become a before being destroyed by Hyper Shinken Gold and Shinken Red.
In the film, the Kusare Nosakamata and the Kusare Ōnosakamata, part of the Kusare Gedoushu, resemble blue skinned Nosakamata and Ōnosakamata.
The are a furred ball-like soot settling in roof of the Rokumon Junk's interior, appearing whenever Doukoku's infuriated enough for them to descend, annoyingly repeating people's words while giggling.
One accompanies Dayu in her wandering after it is tossed out of the Rokumon Junk and into the mortal realm, singing in imitation of her shamisen.
are monsters created by Akumaro from real kirigami he makes by using his claws to cut paper in the shape of a monster, which then transforms into a giant monster.
The are ancient spirits with nightmarish forms that serve the Gedoushu, dwelling within the depths of the Sanzu River until being summoned to go through the gap.
However, they can only remain in the mortal world until they begin to dry up, returning to the Sanzu River to regain their moisture.
These Ayakashi are used in Akumaro's plans to open the pathway between the mortal realm and Hell, each given an arena to cause enough anguish to create a marker.

Its employs the series' protagonists the in their fight to keep the fictional energy source known as the safe from the evil Vaglass group.
Their base of operations is 70 meters underground, modeled after an ant hill, with passages to any part of the city.
Thirteen years prior to the events of the series, a freak accident caused a computer virus to evolve into the entity known as Messiah who went on to create Vaglass before being trapped in subspace.
To prevent Messiah's return as well as looking for a way to uproot the threat, three children who so happened to be around when the freak accident happened were installed with an Anti-Metavirus program that gives them each both a unique and enabled them to be safely teleported away when the Transport Research Center is sent into subspace.
These children were then trained to become spies for the Energy Management Center's Special Operations Unit, and now fight Vaglass as the primary members of the Go-Busters.
Though their Anti-Metavirus program also gives them a crippling weakness called a , Hiromu theorized it to be a necessary for them to work together as a team.
During the final battle with Enter, the Go-Busters perform a finisher known as the which is an enhanced version of Red Buster's Volcanick Attack.
is 20 years old and is the most well-rounded warrior on the team despite joining the team the latest as .
He is a serious, dedicated and level-headed warrior who rarely smiles, as well as being very blunt with words and not much of a social person.
Hiromu's Super Power manifests in his legs as super speed, enabling him to move so fast it appears as if he is teleporting.
As , wearing the Protector armor created from Nick's data, Hiromu's speed increases which allows him to perform the finisher to destroy an opponent.
Both sacrificed themselves to trap Messiah in subspace with Hiromu entrusted to take care of his sister Rika, who refused to allow her only family to be taken from her by the Energy Management Center.
However, with his Buddy Roid Cheeda Nick training him and the promised he made to Yoko to get their families back, Hiromu resolved to become a Go-Buster to ensure nobody would again lose loved ones to the Vaglass like him and his sister.
At first, putting the mission as top priority, Hiromu refuses to go see Rika despite Nick's efforts in mending their relationship.
When Nick brings Rika to a battle scene to allow Rika herself to see what her brother fights for, Hiromu berates Nick for bringing a civilian to such a dangerous place despite Nick's good intentions, showing how much he cares in getting the job done.
His relationship is eventually mended with Rika fully accepting Hiromu's decision to fight as a Go-Buster, though it is all thanks to Nick's efforts and Hiromu having next to no part in the events.
Later, learning of his parents' fate as absorbed extensions of Messiah, a saddened Hiromu sees that stopping the monster is the only way he could save them.
The encounter escalated their on-going feud as Enter developed an obsession with the human spirit, using Hiromu as the subject of his twisted research.
But this too was a means to study the human resolve, as it was revealed that Enter installed the previously, unrecovered Messiah Card 13 inside his body; effectively becoming Enter's back-up.
As a side effect, the card also protects Hiromu from fatal hazards, including the ones he intends to inflict on himself.
After the Go-Busters send their own bodies with Enter into the unstable subspace, Masato intends to put Hiromu in his own stasis chamber to remove Messiah Card 13, saving Hiromu but at the cost of Masato's life.
Once overheated, his strength increases exponentially and gains a murderous personality along with it, being thoroughly incapable of telling friend from foe.
As a side effect, Ryuji is also far more susceptible to heat than normal people and can overheat if his surroundings are too warm, although he would merely be very aggressive and irritable instead of murderous.
Though ice and large amounts of water can be used, a special cooling cream is more effective to cool him down.
Compared to his teammates, his Weakpoint is the least likely to happen, so long as he uses his Super Power sparingly and with caution, but it is also the most devastating when it does happen.
Ironically, his Weakpoint can be considered a mixed blessing as he can use the increased strength and destructive personality to deal with Metaloids far easier than it would usually be.
His overheating happenings are so rare that Yoko, despite growing up together with him over a decade, had never seen him overheat even once until recently.
As , wearing the Protector armor created from Gorisaki's data, Ryuji's superhuman strength is amplified with the added ability to analyze any substance to create a digital copy of it for use.
As the oldest of the Go-Busters, he feels that it is his duty to watch over Hiromu and Yoko, mediating whenever they start bickering.
Unlike his teammates who started training at a very young age, he was already a teenager when his training started and as such, he trains extra hard to catch up to them.
He is a rather passive in his approach to things and unlike Hiromu and Yoko, lacks a personal reason to fight.
As such, he is very much a background character supporting his juniors in battle until Masato prompts him to find a personal reason, which he finds to be resuming his dream once Vaglass is defeated.
is a moody, sharp-tongued, impatient and easy-to-anger but earnest 16-year-old and is the youngest and the most energetic on the team.
As such, she must keep her calorie count in check by consuming sweets, in order to keep herself awake and active.
While her Weakpoint is easier to manage, her over-eagerness with missions often makes her forget to carry sweets on her or consume them at times while on a mission, coupled with her tendency to overuse her Super Power, she is often left in a state to scramble for whatever she can find.
She can also use data to manifest objects in the air to either run around on them or jump to even greater heights in order to perform the finisher.
Initially before their eventual reunion as a team, she sees Hiromu to be useless, thinking that he is a good-for-nothing who cowers behind his sister.
She only starts warming up to him when he reveals that he does indeed remember his promise to her that they will fight Vaglass together, a promise Ryuji did not think that she would remember due to her young age and that she was crying when Hiromu said it all those years ago.
Her impulsive and hyperactive nature results in her hating to study, a fact that gets her berated by Usada over and over again.
This in turns hampers her information-processing ability and she is shown to be the slowest to catch clues in their missions, as well the only one on the team incapable of comprehending English at all.
She however, has a thoughtful side to her, shown when she plans a holiday outing where the team takes the Buddy Roids to places they want to visit prior to her actions revealed to give their partners a birthday.
Though working in another block during the incident 13 years ago, Masato ended up in subspace regardless when his fellow researchers sacrificed themselves to trap Messiah.
Trapped in subspace, created Beet J. Stag to aid him by placing his body in stasis and creating an avatar of himself to move about.
When he learned of the others' fate as Messiah's engineers upon being contacted by Sakurada, given the plans to the BC-04 he developed, Masato resolved to send Jay to reality so he can hone the Go-Busters' skills to prepare them for the final battle with Messiah.
For that reason, Masato created his and Jay's unique Buster Gears, enabling him to transform and fight as the gold-colored .
Masato is known for his utter disregard for rules and authority (one of his first actions as Beet Buster being to steal massive amounts of Enetron) often addressing Commander Kuroki by an embarrassing nickname and acting on his own.
Though technically the oldest of the Go-Busters at 40 years of age, he insists that because his avatar is himself when he was 27, Ryuji (who is 28) is the oldest and therefore has the responsibility of taking care of the team.
Despite his seemingly immature disposition, he is actually quite wise, seen when he tells Ryuji that he would not be able to do much if he only watched over and fought for others, thus prompting him to search for a personal reason to fight so that he could do so effectively.
Masato often flashes the sign of the horns with the back of his hand out, resembling the horn of a Japanese rhinoceros beetle.
As an avatar whose existence in the real world is entirely dependent on Jay, he cannot transform on his own and requires Jay's Marker System to activate their Buster Machines.
While his body in the real world is an avatar and thus incapable of being destroyed, having this avatar body recreated puts serious strain on Masato's true body.
Though succeeding in ending Messiah, Masato is left with the issue of getting his actual body back into reality, something that should only be possible by retrieving his missing data from the Messiah Card 07 which Enter absorbed to use as a trump card to play the group's intent to save him.
However, while thinking of a way of removing Messiah Card 13 from Hiromu's body, Masato realizes that Messiah Card 07's data is inside it and he can use his hangar's equipment to transfer the card out of Hiromu and into his failing body.
Though knowing it would destroy him, Masato resolved to protect the world at any cost with his avatar lasting long enough to ensure Enter's permanent death while telling his friends to escape back to their way through his hangar.
The are sentient robots created by the Energy Management Center prior to Messiah's creation who in the aftermath that are assigned to assist the Go-Busters on their missions.
Other than having built-in teleportation abilities and Anti-Metavirus programming so they will not be corrupted, the Buddy Roids can interface with the Buster Machines, forming the control mechanisms with their heads.
Despite being robots, they have very good understanding of human behavior and behave very much like humans, especially in the case of Nick, where he often advises Hiromu in how to get along with people around him.
While Beet J. Stag fights with the Go-Busters as Stag Buster, the three primary Buddy Roids gain the ability to digitize themselves into the Custom Visors, reformatting themselves into the protector armor for their partners' Powered Custom forms.
Until the appearance of J, Nick is the only Buddy Roid who usually goes out in the field, both as a mode of transportation for Hiromu through his and more importantly, pick Hiromu up whenever his partner's Weakpoint takes effect.
Though Nick is equipped with a powerful supercomputer that allows him to make calculations at super speed and an on-board navigational computer, he has no sense of direction and is shown to be constantly getting lost, yet his pride always prevents him from calling Hiromu or anyone else for help.
These traits suit him well as he plays the role of an older brother figure to Hiromu, while being his trainer and providing battle support.
Nick and Hiromu often do not see eye-to-eye as the former always tries to make the latter more sociable and mindful of others' feelings.
Though she originally hated him for being both a machine and driving a wedge between her and Hiromu, Nick manages to win Rika's respect to the point of her accepting him as family.
He is also the most mild-mannered among all the Buddy Roids, never once bicker with anyone over anything and always just tries to do what he can to help around.
As Ryuji is quite mature for his age and carries himself in a rather proper manner all the time, Gorisaki feels that he is not as close to Ryuji as the other two Buddy Roids are with their partners, seeing their dysfunctional moments to be a good thing.
As a result, Gorisaki always holds back when he talks to Ryuji and resorts to more discreet methods like eavesdropping to know his partner better.
However, when he sustains damage to protect his partner from Fanloid, Gorisaki is happy that Ryuji finally scolds him for his recklessness, feeling that for they finally made progress as partners.
Having a sharp-tongue and habit to make snide comments to anyone around him, Usada is often overbearing towards Yoko as he has been her sole tutor and sees the girl unable to anything without him to guide her.
Though the two fight often, they care about each other and would always eventually reconcile, seen when he gets kidnapped by Enter where he tells Yoko to flee when a bomb strapped on him is about to explode.
Though behaving rather condescending towards others, he enjoys their company and when Yoko insists that he goes on theme park rides, something he had always wanted to do, on his own, he gets upset instead of happy as he wanted to do it with everyone else instead of doing it alone.
Like Masato, Jay is an egotist who likes appearing cool, but he is more extreme in a sense that he shows little to no interest in anything that does not concern him, resulting in him often getting onto Masato's nerves.
Despite this, he has a very high sense of awareness around where he can sense immediate danger and is very observant, but he does not tell this to the others due to his attitude.
He however has a softer side, as he's fascinated by nature, especially beetles (since they are his motive) to the point of becoming melancholic.
He also genuinely cares for his creator, as he went to extremes to protect a Metaloid from the Go-Busters in the hopes of using its Messiah Card to help Masato.
After the Go-Busters and Enter are transported to subspace, Jay is conflicted as to whether or not to go through with Masato's plan to extract the Messiah Card from Hiromu.
After Masato forces Jay to make a promise to protect the world, Jay decides to go through with the plan and assists the Go-Busters in distracting Enter.
When Card 13 is destroyed and Masato's physical body is gone, Jay was shocked that Masato's avatar was still active for some time.
After they destroy Megazord Omega, the Go-Busters fight and destroy Enter once and for all, with Jay helping to transfer energy for the Volcanick All Busters Attack.
Unlike other Buddy Roids, he is fully battle-ready and is outfitted with a that allows him to recreate Masato's avatar if destroyed and activate the duo's personal Buster Machines.
He is also Masato's partner both in and out of combat, with the ability to transform into the silver-colored to actively fight alongside him as Beet Buster.
This process sheds off much of Jay's outer armor, which either becomes parts of Beet Buster's suit when transforming together or is simply cast off and converted into data when transforming on his own.
Because he is not equipped with a vaccine program, he is susceptible to Metavirus infection, as evident from when he fueled himself with Metavirus-infected Enetron.
While not of a humanoid design like Usada, Ene-tan's ego and mentality are akin to that of her creator Masato, and has an aversion to being touched carelessly.
is 40 years old and is the commanding officer of the Special Operations Unit, leading the Go-Busters and several hundred other staff members.
He was originally the lab assistant of Hiromu's father and a teammate of Masato Jin (who gave him the nickname ).
is an operator for the Special Operations Unit, a recent hire in the Energy Management Center and does not know much about the Go-Busters.
The maintenance crew includes large numbers of technicians for maintaining the Buster Machines between missions, given that the machines needed to be at top shape during battles and repairs needed to be done quickly to ensure that the machines are always ready for deployment.
Dissatisfied and disillusioned over his job, he betrays the Energy Management Center and sells a copy of the blueprints of the BC-04 to Enter.
She was 14 during the Messiah event and due to her disliking machines in general, she seldom visited the Transport Research Center and as such, she was not present at the Transport Research Center back then.
Learning of her parents presumed deaths, Rika refused to allow Hiromu to become a Go-Buster as she did not want to lose another family member again, but she reluctantly accepted Nick to live with her and her brother.
Though she originally does not approve of Hiromu becoming one of the Go-Busters, thinking that he should not be shouldering such a heavy burden just because he survived the tragedy.
She eventually let him be upon learning of his motivation of becoming a Go-Buster, which is to never see someone else suffer what he suffered ever again, while accepting Nick as a member of their family as well.
is Hiromu and Rika's father who was the chief of the , the only known scientist to have devised a way to install programs into humans.
Along with Michiko, after sacrificing themselves with the scientists to trap Messiah in subspace 13 years ago, Yosuke's digitized essence was absorbed into the entity to serve as one of its engineers.
However, Yosuke manages to retain some of his free will and makes contact with Masato to aid his son and his friends by giving him the blue prints to the BC-04 in secret.
By the time Yosuke's actions are revealed, Hiromu manages to honor the final request of his father and the other scientists to end Messiah at the cost of their own existence.
is Hiromu and Rika's mother who was a staff member of the Transport Research Center before she sacrificed herself to trap Messiah in subspace 13 years ago.
She had two favorite dog statues she named , the significance of it revealing her fate as one of Messiah's engineers and being among the scientists whose aspects are used to create Escape.
is Yoko's mother who was a Megazord pilot and engineer within the Transport Research Center before the incident 13 years ago.
Hiromu manages to give her peace by destroying Messiah at her behest, appearing to Yoko in spirit before she returned to their reality.
is an eccentric and passionate scientist who was a member of the Energy Management Center years ago prior to Messiah's creation, creating the framework for the Go-Busters' Buster Machines.
When he left out of a conflict of interest, Professor Hazuki devised Tategami Lioh and continued working on it up until his death.
She was initially against the Go-Busters, believing that the Energy Management Center sacrificed her father for their own means, but after learning the truth from Ryuuji and Jin, she decides to give them her full support.
She gives the Go-Busters the Lio Attache with the full belief that they would be able to carry on her father's legacy.
is a member of the Galactic Union Police who succeeded its veteran member Retsu Ichijouji as the current Gavan, referred as , shouting whenever he needs the he is based on to encase him in Granium particles that form into his Gavan Type-G combat suit within a twentieth of a second.
As the new Gavan, Geki battled the revived Space Mafia Makuu and defeated its masked leader Brighton who originally his best friend Toya Okuma.
Soon after, Geki is redeployed to Earth to pursue Rhino Doubler, getting the Go-Busters' aid in defeating one of Makuu's remaining agents.
is a member of the Galactic Union Police who succeeded its veteran member Den Iga as the current , shouting whenever he needs the spaceship he is based on to encase him in Solar Metal particles that form into his combat suit within milliseconds.
is a member of the Galactic Union Police who succeeded its veteran member Dai Sawamura as the current , shouting whenever he needs the spaceship he is based on to bathe with Plasma Blue Energy emitted from the Vavilos to form his armor within milliseconds.
, a small robotic sphere, was originally a fragment of Demon King Psycho of the Space Crime Syndicate Madou that the original Sharivan defeated decades ago.
Having lost his memory while befriending Yoko as they are chased down by Space Shocker, Psycholon is eventually integrated back in Psycho once his revival is complete.
However, with Yoko reaching him, Psycholon is able to fully separate himself from Psycho's consciousness and sacrifices himself to save her.
The , made from the rare metal called Deltarium 39, are used by the Go-Busters to counter the appearance of a Vaglass Megazord.
A barrier is erected during formation sequence to deflect enemy attacks, though the barrier is rather weak and would not hold long.
Its finisher is the where Go-Buster Oh creates a tear into pseudo-subspace to trap an enemy Megazord before using the Boost Buster Sword on it.
However, if the enemy is immune to the trap of the Dimension Crash, it has an alternative attack, , where it concentrates its Enetron onto one of its feet to perform a destructive kicking attack at the enemy.
Go-Buster Beet's right arm can extend to unleash long ranged punching attacks or convert into a launcher for the SJ-05 Stag Beetle to dock in order to perform the finisher, which launches the SJ-05 through at its target.
Go-Buster Beet can also use Go-Buster Lioh to attach onto his right hand to boost Go-Buster Lioh's attacks, such as the finisher.
After Tategami Lioh appears, Go-Buster Beet also gets an update, where Go-Buster Beet can ride Tategami Lioh in Buddy Vehicle mode.
Its armaments include the Beet Cannon and the in its chest, the on its right arm, and the , which can also be used as a giant pair of scissors, on the left arm.
is the combination of the CB-01 Cheetah, GT-02 Gorilla, RH-03 Rabbit, BC-04 Beetle, and SJ-05 Stag Beetle specially designed by Masato to allow the Go-Busters to fight Megazords in subspace.
Because of the complex and time-consuming nature of the machine's assembly, Great Go-Buster Oh is assembled in the base's hangar and launched after it is completed.
Though his daughter thought it was built to defeat the Go-Busters, Tategami Lioh was designed by Professor Hazuki to be compatible with Go-Buster Ace as it fought the robot in order to deem it as its partner.
As a Buddyzord, combining the designs of a Megazord and a Buddy Roid, Tategami Lioh has a level of autonomy that the Buster Machines do not, and it switches between three modes.
In its mode, it takes the form of a lion that can holds its own in combat even against enemy Megazords.
Armed not only with powerful teeth and claws, it can fire an energy beam from its mouth when its mane rotates at high speed.
With Go-Buster Ace or Go-Buster Beet riding it, it is armed with the in a twin energy cannon mode that either Go-Buster Ace or Go-Buster Beet can use in attacks against enemy Megazords, such as the .
It wields the Lioncer Gun in a spear mode, while its Buddy Animal mode head becomes the that it uses to block attacks and fire a beam from the mouth.
But unlike Great Go-Buster, it does not need to combine in the hangar, since Tategami Lioh can do it by itself.
It is armed with both of Great Go-Buster's weapons and equipped with twin swords on both of its arms to execute the attack.
Led by the entity known as Messiah, Vaglass seeks to make the Earth more suitable to machines and seeks to wipe out the human race by tapping into the Energy Management Center's Enetron.
However, sent into subspace, an alternate dimension where gravity is greater to the point that breathing can be painful and humans become living data, Messiah resolves to use its Avatars Enter and Escape to gather the vast amount of Enetron needed so Messiah can re-enter reality to assimilate the Earth to ensure its dominion.
The Vaglass base of operations is the ruins of the Transport Research Center that ended up in subspace thirteen years prior and serves as Messiah's inactive body before it is destroyed with it.
originated as a computer virus that infected the Transport Research Center's computers on Christmas, 1999 NC, and underwent an evolution from the Enetron in the system.
Messiah used his assimilation powers to seize control of the facility's systems and machinery before the research staff managed to contain him by transporting the entire compound and themselves into Hyper Space; preventing him from spreading to the world's communication, energy, and defense networks.
He would renew his campaign for global domination thirteen years later in Neo AD 2012, by sending his agents across dimensions to gather Enetron to return him to reality and assimilate the entire planet.
After Enter supplies the resources from the Living Body Program Research Institute, Messiah evolves and creates a personal vessel called , capable of recreating defeated Metaloids and self-regeneration.
Though this form is eventually destroyed by efforts of the Go-Busters, Enter makes back-ups of Messiah's data in the thirteen Messiah Cards with intentions of making himself an entirely different Messiah.
Though he appears human, Enter's body is pure data, able to be easily be recreated when destroyed and uses cable-like tentacles to fight.
Using his disguise ability, Enter conducts espionage tactics to obtain Enetron, using some of it to bring Metaloids to life through his laptop and a series of Metavirus cards.
After the debut of Go-Buster Oh, Enter resolves to focus his goal on increasing the number of created Metaloids in order to transport more Megazords into the city to speed up his agenda.
After his scheme with reverse engineering the BC-04 Beetle's blueprints failed, Enter's replication of the Filmzord's ability to install projectors of subspace in the other Megazords to placate Messiah's rapidly waning patience resulted with Escape's creation as Enter is relegated to Megazord transporting and Enetron theft.
By that time, discarding his coat and taking up a sword, Enter becomes serious as he fights the Go-Busters to keep them from entering subspace and then pilot the Megazord Type Epsilon to stop Go-Buster Ace from destroying Messiah's core.
Unfortunately after the battle, now acting on his own whim, Enter reveals that he was actually creating back-ups of Messiah's data while leading Vaglass in his place.
His fight with Red Buster also convinced Enter that humans can not be underestimated as he intends to take Hiromu's data to fully grasp the human spirit as part of his ultimate plan: evolving into a new Messiah.
To that end, scattering the other Messiah cards to the wind and placing Messiah Card 13 into Hiromu's body, Enter advanced himself with Messiah Card 04 and gained the ability to transform into , able to overpower the Go-Busters' Powered Custom forms and took Messiah Card 07 to absorbed for both leverage and speeding up his evolution.
Though seemingly killed by Escape when she learned his intentions, Enter is recreated with his power magnified to the point of infecting non-human organic life forms with Metaviruses.
By them, Enter reveals that his immortality is the result of final Messiah Card in Hiromu serving as his back up as he can be recreated from the moment of destruction.
Because the card is in Hiromu's body, Enter begins to copy the human's data to not only know everything about him, but also transform himself into a dark version of Red Buster called .
Once able to assimilate humans, Enter reaches the final stages of his evolution as the Go-Busters pull off a risky gambit to take him into the unstable Subspace to stop him once and far all.
After Messiah Card 13 removed from Hiromu's body, Enter no longer has any back-up or a trump card with Messiah Card 07.
Following the destruction of Megazord Omega, Enter faces the Go-Busters for the final time but finds himself overpowered as Red Buster tells him that failed to truly understand humans' greatest strength is their friendship and imperfections.
After being fatally wounded by the Volcanick All Busters Attack and no means to escape his permanent death, Enter explodes into bits of data with his human victims restored.
Escape was created to take over Enter's duty to cause human suffering after Messiah was unsatisfied with results, telling him that he should just stick to transporting Megazords and siphoning Enetron.
Her weapons of choice are her twin machine pistols with dog-headed charms , reflecting Hiromu's mother being one of the scientists that Escape was designed after.
Unlike Enter, who is more reserved and cautious in his endeavors, Escape is a strong female type who delights in fighting strong opponents and actively fights the Go-Busters simply for pleasure rather than for any objective, finding an ideal opponent in Blue Buster while under the influence of his Weakpoint.
After Red Buster destroys Messiah while the others destroy Messiah Cell, an angry Escape flees and resurfaces after learning of Enter's plans for Messiah.
Later on, when the Go-Busters unlock their Powered Custom, she becomes really eager to fight them, getting her wish when she faces Ryuji in his powered up form.
This results in Gog and Magog being destroyed (though she repairs them later on) and Escape's data critically damaged while being satisfied with the fight.
However, wanting to keep the remaining Messiah Metaloids alive so Messiah can be reborn, Escape risks her very being when upgrading herself with the ability to transform into .
Though she follows him because he possesses a Messiah Card, Escape betrays Enter once she obtains Megazord Zeta and learns that he has no intent to recreate Messiah as he originally was.
Using Megazord Zeta to crush Enter, Escape resolves to recreate Messiah as she remembers, only to be absorbed by her creator once she had outlived her use to him.
Once Enter has integrated Messiah Card 07 into himself, he is able to create Organic Metaroids, and uses that ability to recreate Escape and assimilated organic life into her data composition.
But the first three versions of Escape, each able to become , are only incomplete copies of the original with limited intelligence and comprehension as they are created from back-up data of Escape predating her time of creation.
This resulted in the creation of an Escape from a snake who is extremely mentally unstable due to her composition being corrupted beyond Enter's ability to repair.
Reverted to her original form, Escape dissolves with Blue Buster giving her peace of mind that she made her papa proud.
The are Vaglass's robotic warriors, created when an item is infected with a , a fragment of Messiah's data that mimics its inorganic assimilation and morphs an infected object into an artificial life form.
The purpose of a Metaloid is to function as a beacon, allowing a Megazord to appear within a radius of 3 kilometers due to a margin of error caused by the teleportation process.
However, this is not limited to the ground as Megazords can transport underground and in the sky and more often than not, the Vaglass can take advantage of the area around the beacon.
In battle, the sole purpose of a Metaloid was to originally deal with the Go-Busters for as long as possible so the Megazord can appear and siphon Enetron.
However, when Messiah creates Escape, the Metaloids are given the new objective to cause as much human suffering as they can.
The twelve are Metaloids created from the , the backup data of Messiah, which activate on their terms after Enter scattered them to the four winds to select their vessels and siphon a nearby Enetron source.
The Messiah Metaloids' ultimate goal is to absorb enough data to become powerful enough that the Go-Busters could not destroy them while Messiah would be fully reborn through one of them.
However, the true nature of the Messiah Metaloids is to transmit copies of the data they have amassed into Messiah Card 13 as part of Enter's masterplan.
Through upgrading himself with two Messiah Cards, Enter can create Metaloids from organic beings, though they have to be in contact with an inanimate object infected with a Metavirus for it to happen.
Placed in storage, a Megazord can be retrieved and modified after a Metaloid's Metavirus is downloaded into it, reformatting it to possess the same attributes as its source.
Once the download is complete, a Megazord is then teleported from subspace into the city to go after the Enetron tanks, siphoning the energy and transferring it to Messiah.
There are different base bodies of the Megazords, of which there is the fast-moving that uses Bugzords in a fight, the brutish and the multi-purpose .
Many of the Megazords are deployed to fight Great Go-Buster when it entered subspace, all of them destroyed in the process.
Like normal Vaglass Megazords, the Messiah Megazords use different base bodies of the Megazords, with the destructive Type Delta model added to the list.
It was released in August 2003, it peaked at number 15 on the ARIA Charts; becoming the band's highest charting album.
The album was promoted with a national tour, appearances on multiple TV and radio shows, as well as playing supports or acts including The Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Swervedriver, The Beasts of Bourbon, Powderfinger and Jet.
It all sounds great in the end but there was so much trial by fire and so much discipline which we'd never really encountered before; never put ourselves through before.
O'Connell Street is the main north–south route through North Adelaide, South Australia and is heavily-trafficked by north-suburban commuters to Adelaide city centre.
It is considered to be one of two major shopping and dining strips within North Adelaide, the other being Melbourne Street.
The street was named on 23 May1837 at a meeting between the Governor John Hindmarsh, the Colonial Secretary Robert Gouger and several advisers including judge John Jeffcott.
It has been suggested that it was not named, as might have been presumed, for Irish political leader and Catholic emancipist Daniel O'Connell who was then at the peak of his career, but his son parliamentarian Maurice O'Connell, a fellow student of Jeffcott's at Trinity College and fellow expatriate of Tralee, Kerry.
Originally, Jeffcott Street was intended to be the main north–south thoroughfare through North Adelaide, but drainage problems in the vicinity led to the opening up of the link through Brougham Gardens from King William Street and the resultant access to enter Adelaide city most directly from the north via O'Connell Street.

The Jean Monnet 2 building (also known as JMO2) is a future office complex for the European Commission under construction on Boulevard Konrad Adenauer in the European district of the Luxembourg City quarter of Kirchberg, Luxembourg.
The complex is to be composed of a welcome pavilion and two office buildings to be completed in two phases respectively; an 8 storey 180 metre (m) long block and a 24 storey tower, connected at the basement and second storey levels.
The first Jean Monnet building, opened in 1975, was demolished between 2016 and 2019, after exceeding its lifespan, and following the discovery of airborne traces of asbestos.
Upon completion, the Jean Monnet 2 building will enable the European Commission to consolidate the majority of its Luxembourg-based staff on one site.
The European Commission's presence in Luxembourg City goes back to 1952, when the city was chosen as the provisional work place of the Commission's forerunner, the High Authority of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC).
In 1961, the Luxembourg government began promoting the Luxembourg City quarter of Kirchberg as a basis for European institutions, with the founding of the Kirchberg Plateau Development Fund (or Kirchberg Fund) — an urban development body of the government.
In the early 1970's, construction began on the first Jean Monnet building (JMO1), commissioned by the Luxembourg government on land owned by the Fund, with its aim being to consolidate all the European Commission's existing Luxembourg based staff onto one site.
However, the building was constructed with an intended lifespan of just 25 years, and additionally, was planned to accommodate the staffing requirements of a European Communities of just 9 states and a Commission of more limited responsibilities.
The European Council's decision, taken in Edinburgh in 1992, to codify the Commission's workplaces as Brussels and Luxembourg City, led to discussions, starting in 1994 on renovating the Jean Monnet building, and finding more suitable premises across the city to accommodate staffing needs.
The Commission's need for more office accommodation intensified following the 2004 EU enlargement from 15 to 25 states, and the subsequent increase in staff numbers.
A 2007 policy communication from the Commission's Office of Infrastructure and Logistics, stated that, at the time of publication, the Commission occupied 5 office premises in Luxembourg City; 2 in Kirchberg, and 3 in Gasperich.
It said that the institution was making inefficient use of office space across the city, with the occupation of too many smaller office premises; it was spending too much money on the rental of properties; its staff was spread out too far from other supporting services such as crèches and schooling; and the current Jean Monnet building was ill-equipped to handle the hosting the Commission's IT and data services.
To that end, the communication stated that Commission policy would be to push for a total rebuild of the then existing Jean Monnet building, with the Commission taking ownership of the future property.
In 2010 the Luxembourg government launched an international architectural competition for the design of the new building, with architectural firm JSWD Architekten's design unanimously awarded first prize by jurors.
However, due to a dispute between the Luxembourg Ministry of Sustainable Development and JSWD Architekten over contractual fees, the runner-up design by KSP Jurgen Engel Architekten was later selected.
The main block and tower will be linked at the basement level and via an enclosed footbridge connecting their second storeys.
The ground floor and first 2 floors of the basement level of the main block will contain all facilities open to resident Commission employees, inter-institutional employees and visitors.
Logistical services associated with running the building, including, amongst others, the postal sorting room and changing rooms for service staff will be mainly located on the first basement floor of the main block, whilst the basement levels of the tower will hold the office complexes' archiving facilities.
The design includes, amongst other energy efficiency features, triple-glazed windows, radiant ceiling panels, offices designed to optimise the use of natural light, an all LED artificial lighting installation, and roof mounted photovoltaic panels.
The building will occupy a plot of land along Boulevard Konrad Adenauer, which forms its northern edge, and is bordered by rue Erasme to the east, and rue Antoine de Saint-Exupéry to the south, which will be extended to border the complex to west and meet with Boulevard Konrad Adenauer.
The site combines some of the plot of the previous Jean Monnet building, on which the tower will sit, with an adjacent former open air car park to the east, where the main block will sit.
Rue Albert Wehrer, which currently intersects the site, will be converted for pedestrian use only and made a part of the complexes' forecourt.
To the building's southwest, along Boulevard Konrad Adenauer is the seat of the Court of Justice of the European Union, and to its south, across rue Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is the IAK building, currently occupied by the European Investment Bank.
Further to the south are located the seat of the European Court of Auditors, and the Konrad Adenauer building, housing the European Parliament's secretariat.
A 2015 memorandum of understanding between the Luxembourg government and the European Commission aimed for October 2020 as the target date for the completion of phase 1 of the new building.
However, revisions to the security concept for the building and changes related to data centre space, introduced in December 2016, set the target date for completion of phase 1 of the building back to February 2023, though phase 2 is expected to be completed in February 2024, ahead of schedule.
Around 400 tonnes of aluminium, 150 tonnes of glass and 45 tonnes of wood were recycled from the structure in the process.
Preparatory work began in March 2018, and a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of new building was held on 4 June 2018 in the presence of Mayor of Luxembourg City, Lydie Polfer, European Commissioner, Günther Oettinger, Prime Minister of Luxembourg, Xavier Bettel and Luxembourg Minister for Infrastructure, François Bausch.
The JMO2's design team conists of KSP Jürgen Engel Architekten as the lead architectural firm, civil engineering by Bollinger+Grohmann Ing and services engineering by EDEIS.
This will initially be borne by the Luxembourg government, and reimbursed from the EU budget upon the handing over of the completed phases.
The land on which the building stands , which has an estimated market value of 300 million euros, was sold by the Luxembourg government to the Commission for the symbolic price of 1 euro.
At the end of phase 1 of the construction process all those staff currently in the Bech, Ariane, Drosbach, and Hitec buildings, located elsewhere in Luxembourg City, will be relocated to the JMO2, followed by those in the Laccolith, and T2 buildings at the end of phase 2.
Like the original complex, the new building will bear the name of EU founding father, and first President of the High Authority of the European Coal and Steel Community, Jean Monnet.
Bicycle parking facilities for approximately 160 bicycles will be installed in the tower building, with the Luxembourg City authorities aiming to improve the network of bike paths to the site.

While recognizing his great talents as a commander, they point out several problems: such as Rommel's involvement with a criminal regime, his political naivete, and that he can not teach the society modern values such as democracy, pacifism, feminism, or critical thinking.
Cornelia Hecht opines that whatever judgement history will pass on Rommel – who was the idol of World War II as well as the integration figure of the post-war Republic – it is now the time in which the Bundeswehr should rely on its own history and tradition, and not any Wehrmacht commander.
, a retired Bundeswehr officer, writes that the maintenance of the Rommel barracks' names and the definition of Rommel as a German resistance fighter are capitulation before neo-Nazi tendencies.
Heiducoff agrees with Bundeswehr generals that Rommel was one of the greatest strategists and tacticians, both in theory and practice, and a victim of contemporary jealous colleagues, but argues that such a talent for aggressive, destructive warfare is not a suitable model for the Bundeswehr, a primarily defensive army.
Heiducoff criticizes Bundeswehr generals for pressuring the Federal Ministry of Defence into making decisions in favour of the man who they openly admire.
The Green Party's position is that Rommel was not a war criminal but still had entanglements with war crimes, and that he could not be the Bundeswehr's role model.
Historian Michael Wolffsohn supports the Ministry of Defense's decision to continue recognition of Rommel, although he thinks the focus should be put on the later stage of Rommel's life, when he began thinking more seriously about war and politics, and broke with the regime.
According to authors like Ulrich vom Hagen and Sandra Mass though, the Bundeswehr (as well as NATO) deliberately endorses the ideas of chivalrous warfare and apolitical soldiering associated with Rommel.
He also considers Rommel's other virtues and military capability to be important, since membership of the resistance does not help modern soldiers in Mali.
Historian Hannes Heer argues that Rommel was not a resistance fighter yet, and that membership of the resistance, instead of secondary virtues and military capability, should be the only touchstone of commemoration.
Historian opines that instead of being the symbol for an alternative Germany, Rommel should be the symbol for the willingness of the military elites to become instrumentalised by the Nazi authorities.
As for whether he can be treated as a military role model, Hürter writes that each soldier can decide on that matter for themselves.
Historian argues that it is totally conceivable that the Resistance saw Rommel as someone with whom they could build a new Germany.
According to Piper though, Rommel was a loyal national socialist without crime rather than a democrat, thus unsuitable to hold a central place among role models, although he can be integrated as a major military leader.
The Field Marshal Rommel Barracks, Augustdorf stresses his leadership and performance as worthy of tradition and identity, establishing, among other things, no proven war crime as a reason to keep the name.
The Sanitary Regiment 3, stationed at the Rommel Barracks in Dornstadt, also desires (almost unanimously, as revealed by an interdepartmental opinion poll) to keep the name.
The Parliamentary Commissioner for the Armed Forces Hans-Peter Bartels (SPD) supports the keeping of the name and the tradition associated with Rommel, but notes that the reasons should not be his initial successes in the North African campaign (1940-1943), or that the former adversary armies have continued to worship him until this day.
Bartels adds that Rommel, who probably supported the Resistance, is a borderline case, regarding which historians find it hard to ascertain, and German history is full of such ambiguities.
In early 2017, the German Federal Ministry of Defence, in response to a petition championed by historian Wolfgang Proske and backed by politicians from the Left Party, defended the naming of barracks after Rommel, with the justification that the current state of research does not support their allegations.
The political scientist and politician criticises the Ministry's undeterred attitude to the fact Rommel was at least near-Nazi and did serve the unjust regime, and comments that the association of Rommel with the spirit of the Bundeswehr is not new, but they did not expect that the Federal Ministry of Defence, without providing at least a bibliography, would declare him a victim of the regime as well.

In the common law tradition, a heartbalm tort or heartbalm action is a civil action that a person may bring to seek monetary compensation for the end or disruption of a romantic or marital relationship.
Of these, criminal conversation and alienation of affection are marital torts, originally restricted to husbands but in many states later made available to spouses regardless of gender.
In England and other common law jurisdictions, additional heartbalm actions were traditionally recognized, such as enticement and wrongful harbouring (tortious refusal to allow a husband to visit a wife who has left him).
In the United States, heartbalm actions were widespread until high-profile stories in the early 20th century about heartbalm claims being abused for blackmail and extortion led to calls for repeal.
Many states that abolished other heartbalm torts retained the tort of seduction, however; of the ten states that had abolished heartbalm actions by 1938, four allowed minors to sue for seduction and three more kept the tort of seduction intact.
Following a report by the Law Reform Committee in 1963, England abolished all of the traditional heartbalm torts (excluding loss of consortium) by statute in 1970.
In the United States, as of 2016, eight states still allow heartbalm actions: Hawaii, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Utah.

The Ministry of Fuel and Power granted consent for 60 MW of electricity generating plant at Goldington about 3 km east of Bedford in June 1950.
The site at Goldington was chosen because it was remote from built-up areas; was adjacent to a railway for the delivery of coal and the disposal of ash; and was close to an ample water source for cooling the plant.
The site was liable to flooding from the River Great Ouse therefore the area was raised in level prior to construction of the power station.
The 132 kV connection to the national grid was at a switching compound on the north side of the power station.
The six Clarke Chapman boilers burned pulverised coal – up to 250 tonnes an hour –  to produce steam at a total rate of 1,800,000 lb/hr (228 kg/s) at a pressure of 600 psi (41.4 bar) and 454°C.
}</graph>The railway line from Bedford to Goldington power station was retained when the remainder of the line to Cambridge was closed in January 1968.
Up to 6 million gallons an hour (7.58 m/s) of water was abstracted from the River Great Ouse via a 720 ft (220 m) channel off the river near the railway bridge.
Goldington used a mixed cooling system: some river water was used in the cooling process and returned to the river 225 m downstream of the intake and some warmed water was pumped to the cooling towers and used again for cooling.
A survey in August and September 1968 found that the river was 10.4°C warmer downstream of Goldington power station than upstream due to the heat input from the station.

The works, 44 novels and two short stories, are organised by year of first publication, and are grouped into decades beginning in 1879.
No other titles were found in searches of the British Library Catalogue, in title pages of the books, the Library of Congress catalogue, WorldCat, full text searches on Archive.org, book advertisements of the period, publishers catalogues, or in the used book trade generally.
This does not mean that there are 26 different print editions held by libraries as data entry errors can read to duplicated entries for the same text.
WorldCat libraries hold editions issued by Blackie of London in 1885, 1893, 1902, 1905, 1923, and 1934 (in which year there were two editions with different illustrators, presumably a cheaper black and white edition and a more expensive colour one).
WorldCat aggregates the holdings of libraries, so it is perfectly possible that there were other editions that are not currently held in libraries, either not having being purchased by them, or having being lost or disposed of in the last hundred and thirty years.

The Del-Mar-Va Express was a named passenger train of the Pennsylvania Railroad that at its peak went from New York City to the southernmost point of the Delmarva Peninsula, Cape Charles, Virginia.
Initiated in 1926, the train's north–south passage through Delaware stood in contrast with the main passenger traffic through Delaware being a brief passage through cities in the upper reach of Delaware, mainly Wilmington.
Most importantly, the train served as a more direct path from New York City and Philadelphia to Norfolk, Virginia, by way of a ferry from Cape Charles across the Chesapeake Bay to Norfolk, a path that bypassed Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
This saved time in comparison to travel over PRR, Atlantic Coast Line and Norfolk & Western trains through Washington to Norfolk.

Y. P. & N RR Ferry Company would take passengers to Norfolk.
Beginning in the 1940s the PRR began to rely only on the Virginia Ferry Corporation for ferriage of passengers from Cape Charles to Norfolk.
The stations for Clayton, Harrington, Greenwood, Salisbury and Princess Anne in pre-World War II years of the train were points from which passengers could transfer to trains to the Eastern Shore of Maryland or to ocean-side resort towns of Lewes, Delaware and Ocean City, Maryland.

Divided to five continental confederations, the teams of the member nations of FIVB, volleyball's world governing body, are ranked based on their game results with the most successful teams being ranked highest.
Specific procedures for seeding and pooling are established by the FIVB in each competition's formula, but the method usually employed is the serpentine system.
The previous calculation method have a problem of circularity in the international volleyball calendar: only countries who participate in the major volleyball events can earn ranking points, whilst the number of ranking points of countries also determines seeding and access of teams for major events.
On 1 February 2020, the new ranking system will be implemented and will take into account all results from 1 January 2019.

The Treaty of Troyes was an agreement of 22 February 1814 by Austria, Russia and Prussia following a council of war with senior generals, Tsar Alexander I of Russia and King Frederick William III of Prussia.
The treaty determined the movements of the Austrian and Prussian-Russian armies following a series of defeats during the invasion of north-east France (part of the War of the Sixth Coalition).
Despite dissent from the Russian and Prussian leaders Austrian General Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg secured support for a withdrawal ahead of the French forces of Emperor Napoleon I who was seeking to bring the allies to battle.
Napoleon failed to defeat him at the 9 March Battle of Laon and Blucher captured Paris on 30–31 March; shortly afterwards Napoleon abdicated the French throne and the war ended.
The War of the Sixth Coalition was part of the Napoleonic Wars in which allied forces sought to defeat France and unseat Emperor Napoleon I.
In January 1814 the allied nations of Austria, Prussia and Russia - who had decisively defeated a French force at the Battle of Leipzig in October 1813 - launched an invasion of the French Empire.
This was carried out by three armies: the Army of Bohemia composed of Austrians under Field Marshal Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg; the Army of Silesia, a Prussian-Russian force under Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher and the Army of the North, a Prussian-Russian-Dutch-Scandinavian force under Generals Ferdinand von Wintzingerode, Friedrich Wilhelm Freiherr von Bülow and Prince Bernadotte.
The Army of the North remained fairly static whilst Blücher advanced into France on the northern flank and Schwarzenberg on the southern.
Napoleon defeated Blücher's advance in the Six Days' Campaign of 10–15 February, forcing the Prussians to withdraw, before he was compelled to deal with the Austrian forces.
No sooner had Schwarzenberg's 50,000-strong army entered Troyes than it was threatened by Napoleon, who reached Chartres on the 22 February.
A set-piece battle looked set to decide matters between the French and the Prussian-Russian force but Napoleon declined to enter into one, content to resume his march on Troyes.
It is believed that Napoleon sought to inflict a decisive defeat on the Austrians, hoping to persuade them to leave the coalition.
A council of war met at Troyes on 22 February 1814 attended by Tsar Alexander I of Russia and King Frederick William III of Prussia as well as the senior allied generals to determine their next actions.
This course of action was opposed by Blücher and General Diebitsch as well as Alexander and Frederick William who wished to engage the French in the field.
Napoleon hoped to engage the Austrian army near to Troyes on 23 February, but the withdrawal deprived him of the decisive battle that he sought.
Some commentators suggested that the decision to withdraw was made because the allied generals could not agree on a suitable battlefield near to Troyes on which to engage the French.
However, it is considered likely that they instead feared losing a decisive engagement upon which hinged the future of Europe: either in the final defeat of Napoleon or the collapse of the Sixth Coalition.
Napoleon occupied Troyes on 24 February and, leaving a force under Macdonald and Oudinot to observe the Austrians, moved north again against Blücher.
Napoleon's attack on Blücher at the 9 March Battle of Laon was unsuccessful and he withdrew to Reims, where he defeated a Russian force on 12–13 March.
Napoleon engaged him in the indecisive Battle of Arcis-sur-Aube of 20 March and was forced to withdraw ahead of a renewed advance.
Janice Suber McNair (born 1936) is the current owner and co-founder of the Houston Texans, having assumed the position after the death of her husband and team founder Bob McNair in 2018.
Janice McNair has been the right-hand to her husband in much of his career when he founded Cogen Technologies, which Bob McNair sold in 1999 to Enron and CalPERS.
The others are Virginia Halas McCaskey (Chicago Bears), Kim Pegula (Buffalo Bills), Carol Davis (Las Vegas Raiders), Dee Haslam (Cleveland Browns), Amy Adams Strunk (Tennessee Titans), Gayle Benson (New Orleans Saints), Martha Firestone Ford (Detroit Lions), Denise DeBartolo York (San Francisco 49ers) and Jody Allen (Seattle Seahawks).
The goal of the foundation was to remove some of the financial barriers that were preventing Rutherford County High school graduates from attending college.
In August 2019, McNair donated $5 million to Pro Vision Inc, a community building project in the Sunnyside neighborhood of Houston.
Aerocosta was founded in the city of Barranquilla on July 12, 1965 and began operating itinerary services in June 1967, serving the national territory with Curtiss C-46 aircraft.The company's headquarters were opened at the International Airport in Miami, from where flights with a Curtiss C-46 were opened in the direction of Panama City and Barranquilla.
The founders of the new company were Captain Rafael Ángel Visbal Rosales, Captain Luis Carlos Donado Velilla, Enrique Oswaldo Fajardo, Antonio and Alfonso Ballestas, Herman Olarte and Joaquín del Gordo.
The first plane was registered as HK-792 and also operated charter flights to Miami and then established regular services via San Andres.
At the start of 1969, a foreign carrier permit was issued to Aercosta authorizing them to engage in foreign air transportation of cargo between Colombia and Miami, and to operate off-route charter trips of property persuant to part 212 of the American Board of Air Economic Regulations.
In July 1970, the company acquired the three aircraft from the Aerocóndor airline, which were converted to freighters at the Barranquilla airport.
With the acquisition of the HK-752, HK-754 and HK-756 services were expanded and by then, regular services were offered from Barranquilla to Bogotá, Cali, Cartagena, Medellin, San Andres, Miami, Panama, Martinique, Guadaloupe and other points of the Caribbean.
In the early 1970s, the first of a total of five Douglas DC-6 freighters arrived at Aerocosta, which meant that there was nothing to stand in the way of expansion.
Aerocosta then failed and Floramerica had to scramble for a new carrier because not even Avianca wanted to ship cut flowers.
Occasionally, Lockheed Electra aircraft were chartered in order to offer more capacity on flights to Miami, among them, the one identified with registration N and eventually an own Electra was acquired.
By then, the Donado Velilla brothers decided to become independent and create a new company by themselves and distanced away from the company.
They decided to negotiate with the rest of the shareholders the acquisition of the two Curtiss C-46 of the company, the HK-1282 and the HK-1383.
With them they started the operation, but always protected by the Aerocosta company, until the foundation of the company Lineas Aéreas del Caribe.
On March 18 1975, a document was leaked that showed the Colombian government was giving out illegal subsidies on oil to Airlines.
On July 10, 1975, the airline suffered another loss when an Electra cargo plane from Aerocóndor took off from El Dorado Airport, went into emergency and fell on an Aerocosta DC-6 that was in front of its hangar, where it was in the process of receiving a wide door to improve cargo access.
The HK-756, which was owned by Captain Visbal and affiliated with the company, was consumed by the flames in the wake of the accident.
On October 1975, a Lockheed Electra freighter aircraft with registration HK-1809 was acquired to compete on equal terms with Aerocondor aircraft.
However, the loss of the DC-6, together with a series of financial problems forced the company to suspend operations definitively in 1976.
In Ernesto Cortissoz airport due the increment of the drug traffic from La Guajira and the augment of the contraband from clandestine runways.
The Air Force command, across the Rotatory Found, negotiated and bought it on a cost of 2 million pesos, the administrative installations and the parking platform of the Aerocosta company had to cancel its operation there in Ernesto Cortissoz airport and the section of air installations plan were executed to the renewal of these installations to lodge an Air Group in Ernesto Cortissoz airport.
A few months later, another Curtiss, this time the HK-792 suffered an accident at the Point-a-Pitre airport in Guadalupe on October 28.
The plane's crew had reported an emergency when the number one engine ran out and requested authorization to land in Cartagena in an emergency; however he had to moor twenty miles off the coast.
Before performing this maneuver there was a need to dump the cargo in flight that consisted of chickens in crates and furniture.
As a cause of the accident, a fire in one of the engines and the inability to turn it off, led to critical flight conditions over the sea.
Among other factors the overload on the plane was discovered in being more than 1200 kilos and the lack of knowledge of this situation led to the crashing of that plane.

He was one of the first modern politicians to emerge in the Protectorate and later became one of the first initiators and pioneer leaders of the political struggle between Somali people and colonial forces.
He is credited for the formation of the first Somali association, the Somali Islamic Association, created in 1925 for publicising Somalis' claim to independence.
Omar was exiled to Aden by the British administration for his protests against excesses of colonial administration, and campaigning for the improvement of economic facilities and expansion of education in the Protectorate.
Omar visited India in 1930, where he met Mahatma Gandhi and was influenced by Gandhi's non-violent philosophy which he adopted in his campaign in British Somaliland Protectorate.
Elijah Wayne Hughes (born March 10, 1998) is an American college basketball player for the Syracuse Orange of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
He started playing basketball through the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and began playing on the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) circuit for local coach, Kenney Dawson.
Following his eighth-grade basketball season, Hughes was called up to the varsity team at Beacon High School in Beacon, New York.
After two years at the school, Hughes transferred to John F. Kennedy Catholic High School in Somers, New York with hopes of receiving more exposure.
As a junior, he led his team to a 26–2 record and runners-up finish at the Catholic High School Athletic Association (CHSAA) championship.
To help improve his grades and meet National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) requirements, Hughes transferred to South Kent School, a boarding school in South Kent, Connecticut, and later attended summer school.
After redshirting a year due to NCAA transfer rules, during which he improved his strength and diet, Hughes was named a starter for the Orange going into his redshirt sophomore season.
He was the team's second leading scorer with 13.7 points per game while also averaging 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game.
Entering his junior season, Hughes was named to the watch list for the Julius Erving Award, which honors the top collegiate small forward.

Catharine Sargent Huntington (1887-1987) was an American actress, producer, director, activist, and founder and manager of theater companies in the Boston, Massachusetts area.
Her work in theater lasted until she was 86 years old and spanned 6 decades, and she received the Rodgers and Hammerstein Award in 1965 for her work.
Huntington was born in Ashfield, Massachusetts on December 29, 1887, as the sole daughter of Lilly St. Agnam Barrett Huntington and clergyman George Putnam Huntington to survive infancy.
She proceeded to Radcliffe College, where she graduated in 1911 cum laude with an A.B.. After graduation, Huntington spent her summer in Europe and began teaching at the Westover School in Middlebury, Connecticut, where she worked until 1917.
At the beginning of World War I, Huntington left her job at Westover School to serve as the Radcliffe College representative to the troops in France with the Wellesley unit of the YMCA.
She served as an aide, working on war reconstruction with the Réconstruction Aisne Devastée and the Union des Femmes de France until her return to the United States in 1920.
She was one of 156 people arrested for the protests, although her fine of $10 was double the amount of the fine for the majority of the other members of the watch.
She appealed the fine and went to trial in December of the same year with seven others, including Edna St. Vincent Millay, Powers Hapgood, and John Dos Passos.
Huntington founded the Boston Stage Society in 1922, and was associated with the Brattle Theatre, Peabody Playhouse, the Tributary Theater, and the Poet's Theater throughout her lifetime.
Additionally, she founded the New England Repertory Theater on Joy Street in Boston in 1938, and later founded the Provincetown Playhouse on the wharf in Cape Cod in 1940 with Edwin Pettit and Virginia Thoms.
During her time there, a Eugene O'Neill drama was produced each summer season, and the theater hosted the O'Neill Festival in 1966, where 10 of his plays were produced.

The regiment was heavily engaged in Operation Diver, defending England against V-1 flying bombs, and later was deployed to Antwerp to carry out anti-Diver duties there in the closing stages of the war.
By 1941, after two years of war Anti-Aircraft Command, tasked with defending the UK against air attack, was suffering a manpower shortage.
In April its commander-in-chief, Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick 'Tim' Pile, proposed to overcome this by utilising the women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS).
The ATS was by law a non-combatant service, but it was decided that Defence Regulations permitted the employment of women in anti-aircraft (AA) roles other than actually firing the guns.
They worked the radar and plotting instruments, range-finders and predictors, ran command posts and communications, and carried out many other duties.
With the increasing automation of heavy AA (HAA) guns, including gun-laying, fuze-setting and ammunition loading under remote control from the predictor, the question of who actually fired the gun became blurred as the war progressed.
The ATS rank and file, if not always their officers, took to the new role with enthusiasm and 'Mixed' batteries and regiments with the ATS supplying two-thirds of their personnel quickly proved a success.
By late 1942 the training regiments were turning out a regular stream of Mixed HAA batteries, which AA Command formed into regiments to take the place of the all-male units being sent to overseas theatres of war.
Regimental Headquarters (RHQ) was formed on 26 October 1942 at Datchet, Buckinghamshire, with 564 (Mixed) HAA Battery transferred from 157th (M) HAA Rgt.
For example, on the night of 21 January 200 hostile aircraft were plotted approaching the South Coast in two waves, which intermingled with returning aircraft of RAF Bomber Command.
This caused problems of identification and restrictions on fire, but the guns of 2 AA Group engaged as the raiders approached London.
As preparations for the Allied invasion of Normandy (Operation Overlord) gathered momentum, AA Command redeployed its resources in Southern England to cover the assembly areas and embarkation ports.
183rd HAA Regiment was briefly with 30 AA Bde and then in May 1944 it joined 102 AA Bde, a designated 'Overlord' HQ.
Defences had been planned against this new form of attack (Operation Diver), but the missiles' small size, high speed and awkward height presented a severe problem for AA guns.
The HAA gun belt was moved to the coast and interlaced with LAA guns to hit the missiles out to sea, where the gun-laying radar worked best and where a 'downed' V-1 would cause no damage.
This new belt was divided into six brigade sectors, 43 AA Bde taking charge of one sector, with 183rd (M) HAA Rgt under command.
The whole process involved the movement of hundreds of guns and vehicles and thousands of servicemen and women, but a new 8-gun site could be established in 48 hours.
After moving the mobile 3.7-inch HAA guns to the coast, these were progressively replaced by the static Mark IIC model, which had power traverse that could more quickly track the fast-moving targets, accompanied by the most sophisticated Radar No 3 Mark V (the SCR-584 radar set) and No 10 Predictor (the all-electric Bell Labs AAA Computer).
The guns were constantly in action, but success rates against the 'Divers' steadily improved, until over 50 per cent of incoming missiles were destroyed by gunfire or fighter aircraft.
This phase of Operation Diver ended in September after the V-1 launch sites in Northern France had been overrun by 21st Army Group.
In November it left 71 AA Bde once more and rejoined 30 AA Bde, now in 5 AA Group, which was controlling the 'Diver Fringe' protecting the East Coast against air-launched V-1s.
Once 21st Army Group had captured Brussels and Antwerp, these cities became targets for V-1s launched from within Germany, and anti-Diver or 'X' defences had to be established.
AA Command's experience had shown that the power-operated, remotely controlled Mk IIC 3.7-inch gun, with automatic fuze-setting, SCR 584 radar and Predictor No 10 were required to deal effectively with V-1s, but 21st Army Group's mobile HAA units did not have experience with this equipment.
In December the first overseas deployment of Mixed HAA units began, and 183rd (M) HAA Rgt was one of those selected.
The war establishment of an HAA regiment on service overseas was three batteries, so 640 (M) HAA Bty left to become independent on 30 November (it disbanded on 12 December).
The regiment arrived at Antwerp in January 1945, taking over Mk IIC 3.7-inch guns on Pile platforms in bitter weather with inadequate hutting, and were immediately in action against the onslaught of V-1s.
The Antwerp 'X' defences under 80 AA Bde involved an outer line of Wireless Observer Units sited to in front of the guns to give 8 minutes' warning, then Local Warning (LW) stations positioned half way, equipped with radar to begin plotting individual missiles.
Finally there was an inner belt of Observation Posts (OPs), about in front of the guns to give visual confirmation that the tracked target was a missile.
The success rate of the X defences had been low at first, but after the arrival of Mk IIC guns and experienced crews from AA Command the results improved considerably, with best results in February and March 1945.
The number of missiles launched at Antwerp peaked at 623 a week in February, but dropped rapidly as 21st Army Group continued its advance, and in the last week of action the AA defences destroyed 97.5 per cent of those reaching the defence belt.
While the male members of the regiment wore the Royal Artillery's 'gun' cap badge, the women wore the ATS cap badge, but in addition they wore the RA's 'grenade' collar badge as a special badge above the left breast pocket of the tunic.
Akiko Sekiwa (; born April 6, 1978 in Tokoro, Hokkaido, Japan as Akiko Katoh, ) is a Japanese curler and curling coach, a four-time (1994, 1996, 1997, 1998) and a four-time Japan women's champion (1997, 1998, 1999, 2001).
While studying at Oxford, Bere made two appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1851, playing against the Marylebone Cricket Club and Cambridge University.
After graduating from Oxford, he took holy orders in the Anglican Church, with his first ecclesiastical posting as rector of Uplowman coming in 1858.
This was the first draw in the fixture since 1879; and the first nil-nil since January 1876 (back when the Inter-City was a twice-a-season format).
Reeves helped create the first rules of the general nursing council in the 1920s and she received the honour of a Florence Nightingale Medal.
At 19 she went to Adelaide Hospital, Dublin to train as a nurse, staying there as a ward sister after her training.
She was appointed matron of the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital in 1908, and remained there until 22 October 1918, when she was appointed lady superintendent and matron of Dr Steevens’ Hospital.
At the time of her appointment to Dr Steevens', the economy was suffering in the aftermath of World War I, leading to a need to change the training requirements for nurses to attract suitable candidates.
Among the initial suggestions Reeves made to the hospital's board of governors was to abolish the entrance fee for probationer nurses.
The establishment of this practice helped in the professionalisation and standardisation of nursing, mirroring similar work by Margaret Huxley at Sir Patrick Dun's Hospital, Dublin.
Reeves was the first president of the Adelaide Hospital League of Nurses and a founding member of the Florence Nightingale committee.
When the National Council of Nurses was established under the Nurses Registration (Ireland) Act of 1919, she was one of the first appointees.
When the Irish Free State was established in 1922, she formally applied for the council's affiliation to the International Council of Nurses by in Helsinki, Finland.
With Huxley, Reeves was instrumental in the formulation of the first rules of the general nursing council, a council that was founded after the nurses’ registration act was passed in 1925.
She was also a founder of the Nation's Tribute to Nurses Fund, a fund that supported old or otherwise distressed nurses financially.
Dublin University awarded her an honorary MA degree in 1947, and in 1949 she was the first Irishwoman to receive the Florence Nightingale Medal.

The complex consists of five buildings built between 1878 and 1954, primarily for the purpose of manufacturing textiles with elastic components, although the oldest structure was built as a school.
The former Moore Fabric Company Plant is located in the predominantly residential Woodville area southwest of downtown Pawtucket, on the west side of Washington Street.
The complex is dominated by three large brick weave sheds, and includes a late 19th-century wood-frame schoolhouse with additions, and a boiler house.
In 1917 the property was acquired by Glendana Silk Company, which constructed the first weave shed and boiler, and manufactured silk fabric.
Continuing at first with the manufacture of silks, Moore later began to specialize in the manufacture of rubberized latex thread, using a 1925 patent for the creation of such thread that could be placed on bobbins and woven with minimal risk of breakage.

The Haarlemmermeer railway lines () are a former network of railway lines in the area between Haarlem, Amsterdam, Utrecht and Leiden.
Despite the name they did not all travel over the territory that formerly comprise the Haarlemmermeer lake before it was dredged.
The first plans for railway lines through the Haarlemmermeer polder were presented in 1864 by mayor Amersfoort, twelve years after the dredging of the lake and creation of the polder.
After the HSM bought up the shares, the plans were changed and this led, in the end, to the establishment of a local network of steam railways.
The first lines opened in 1912, much later than originally planned, almost a half century after the first plans were drawn up.
The lines lay in the area between Amsterdam, Haarlem, Leiden, Alphen aan den Rijn, and Nieuwersluis and were opened between 1912 and 1918.
Only the lines Amsterdam Haarlemmermeerstation – Amstelveen – Aalsmeer and Bovenkerk – Uithoorn – Nieuwersluis remained in service for passenger and cargo traffic.
In 1972 the lines were closed for cargo, except for the route Amsterdam – Uithoorn, which remained in service between 1976 and 1981 to transport building materials for the new Schiphollijn (which originally had no connection to the rest of the national railway network) and Uithoorn – Nieuwersluis, which remained in service until 1986, for demolition company Koek in Mijdrecht, where the Dutch Railways demolished a lot of equipment.
The lines have, in the meantime, all been dug up, with the exception of the line Amsterdam – Amstelveen – Bovenkerk, which was electrified between 1975 and 1997 and is used by the Amsterdam Electric Tramway Museum.
In many places there are still the remains of dikes, and various stations and stops are still recognizable and used as residences, including stations in Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Aalsmeer, Uithoorn, Hoofddorp, Mijdrecht, Nieuwveen, Wilnis and Aarlanderveen.
In September 2004, the Amstelveen light rail line was extended from Poortwachter to Westwijk and used the old railway dike of the old Bovenkerk–Uithoorn line on the curve west of Spinnerij to the south of Westwijk.
Laetitia Withall (30 August 1881 – 11 March 1963) was an Australian-born poet, author and militant suffragette who campaigned in the United Kingdom for the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) under the name Leslie Hall.
On her imprisonment she went on hunger strike and was force-fed for which she received the Hunger Strike Medal from the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU).
She was first arrested in Birmingham on 18 September 1909 as Leslie Hall (a name she had adopted so as to prevent the embarrassment of her parents).
On 21st December 1909 in Liverpool she and Selina Martin approached the Prime Minister H. H. Asquith as he was leaving his motor car, and tackled him on the subject of women's rights.
The women were removed to Walton Gaol, and were treated as though they were convicted criminals, being treated with considerable violence in prison.
On Monday, 27 December 1909 the two women were again brought into court, when Withall/Hall was ordered one month's imprisonment with hard labour, and Martin to two months.
Meanwhile, the facts as to their treatment whilst imprisoned on remand had been widely circulated, for they had dictated statements for their friends' use whilst their trial was being conducted.
But indeed, the inaccuracy of Mr. Gladstone's statements had become proverbial, for he was constantly denying the truth of charges which were clearly substantiated by the most reliable evidence.
Her signature is among those embroidered on The Suffragette Banner designed at the Glasgow School of Art by Ann Macbeth (1875-1948) and her students and today held in the collection of the Museum of London.
In 1939 Withall was living at 8 Linden Avenue in Broadstairs in Kent and here she died in 1963 aged 82.
The station, which broadcasts its digital signal on virtual and UHF channel 16, is owned by HC2 Holdings and licensed to HC2 LPTV HOLDINGS.
She has directed plays for the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Royal National Theatre, The Old Vic, the Royal Court Theatre, the Welsh National Opera.
The disease resulted in her undergoing three operations on her legs, completed when she was 10, which left her with a limp until she was 13.
The campaign that gave her the most personal satisfaction was one for nylons because of her history with polio and the previous surgeries on her legs.
An accident in a Datsun 240Z on the streets of Montréal broke Proulx's leg in four places and sent her through the windshield.
Proulx obtained her basic racing license at l'Association des Coureurs Automobile de Montréal (ACAM), then enrolled in the Jim Russell racing school at the Circuit Mont-Tremblant in 1970.
Proulx and Fortin formed Mojack Racing, and her early races were run in a modified BMW 2002 owned by Fortin, and a Datsun 240Z.
In 1974, when Northern NASCAR introduced the Mini Stocks class in Canada, Proulx won the very first race at Catamount Stadium track.
She raced in some Formula Ford and Formula Vee events, and was scouted by Fred Opert Racing, then moved up to Formula Atlantic in 1974 driving Allen Karlberg's March 712M with Kimberly-Clark as sponsor.
Ibtada (Urdu for 'the beginning') is a not-for-profit, non-governmental development organisation headquartered in Alwar, India working in the Mewat region of Rajasthan.
It was founded in 1997 by Rajesh Singhi after he conducted the Benchmark Survey of Mewat for the Government of Rajasthan.
The region suffers extreme social and economic backwardness due to lack of resources, awareness, education, health and on account of poor gender status.
Ibtada was founded with its mission to work for women and girl child in 1997 with the formation of SHGs, by Rajesh Singhi.
When it started in March 1999, 16 SHGs were formed which rose to 142 in 2001 and over 2000 SHGs at present.
The girl child education programme started in August 2000 with 7 learning centres (called Taleemshalas) and grew to 121 learning centres in 2011.These Taleemshalas imparted education to out of school girls till class V, after which they were mainstreamed to govt.
These institutions empower women - to change power relations in their family and in the society, to foster decision-making power among women, to enhance their degree of control over resources and provide them space for visibility and collective action.
Ibtada’s three tier Institutional architecture (SHGs, Clusters and Federations or Manch) forms the base for implementing different programmes for Financial Inclusion, Livelihoods, Girls Empowerment and Rights & Entitlements.
Women members of the SHGs can secure loans to start small shops in their village thus reducing their dependence on agriculture or animal husbandry based income.
Education has been a primary focus of Ibtada's initiatives with introduction of school libraries, Bal sansads as well as supplementary classes.
They've also worked in order to improve infrastructure in government schools and have facilitated the formation and functioning of School Management committees.

Abraham Burtis Baylis Sr. (November 5, 1811 – July 15, 1882) was an American businessperson who served as president of the New York Stock Exchange during the U.S. Civil War.
Before his parents marriage, his mother was married to William Ludlum, who died in 1802, and his father was married to Elizabeth Nostrand, who died in 1804.
His paternal grandparents were Daniel Baylis and Catherine (née Ludlam) Baylis and his maternal grandparents were Abraham Burtis and Jane (née Everett) Burtis.
In 1841, Baylis became a member of the New York Stock Exchange and later served as one of the governors of the Exchange.
He also served as the first president of the Stock Exchange Building Company (which owned the block in which the Exchange formerly held its sessions) and during the Civil War, he served as president of the Exchange.
He was a trustee of the Union Ferry Company, the Brooklyn City Railway, the Brooklyn Trust Company, the Mechanics Bank, the Brooklyn Savings Bank and the Mechanics Insurance Company.
He was a trusted insider and close business associate of Cornelius Vanderbilt, and served as a director of the Harlem Railroad Company, the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Company and the Wabash Railroad Company.

Baylis, a member of the Second Presbyterian Church for many years, died at his residence, 76 Remsen Street in Brooklyn, on July 15, 1882.
The CAP consisted of a cost-sharing arrangement between the federal government and provinces, territories and municipalities whereby the federal government would partially fund eligible social programs.
The 1995 Canadian federal budget announced that both the Canada Assistance Plan and the Established Programs Financing would be combined into a new block-fund fiscal arrangement called the Canada Health and Social Transfer starting in 1996-97 fiscal year.
As the arrangement was a cost-sharing program and open-ended in nature, the federal government was concerned about an escalation of costs it could not control.
The 1990 Canadian federal budget capped the growth of the Canada Assistance Plan at 5% for provinces who did not receive equalization payments (at the time Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia) for 1990-91 and 1991-92 fiscal years.
The government of British Columbia challenged that provision in courts and the Supreme Court of Canada, in the landmark Reference Re Canada Assistance Plan (BC) decision, ruled on August 15, 1991 that the capping was indeed constitutional.
Further restrictions were applied when the 1994 Canadian federal budget froze CAP payments to their 1994-95 levels for the 1995-96 fiscal year.

In 2009 a professor visiting from Ghana, Osei Darkwa, lamented to faculty at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), Institute for Energy Efficiency (IEE) that students from rural parts of their country were unprepared for the rigors of the University.
They noted that if the students had access to safe, affordable and reliable lights, students would be able to spend more time studying and also replace the kerosene lamps and candles that cause financial, health, and environmental issues.
At the time, the available solar LED lights on the market cost $30, a price point far above what the average family in Ghana was able to spend.
The IEE team, in conjunction with UCSB’s Engineers Without Borders, designed, developed, and began distribution of a new light in 2010 through the newly created non-governmental organization, Unite to Light.
John E. Bowers, director of IEE, spearheaded the project, along with Claude Dorias, and the development of the light was aided by advice from scientist Shuji Nakamura and physicist Alan J. Heeger.
In 2012 the solar light was renamed the Luke Light in honor of 19-year-old graduate Lucas Voss-Kernan, who had passed away that year and in whose name a fundraiser was held to donate lights to off-the-grid Kenyan communities.
In 2018 Unite to Light developed a new device, a solar light with a USB port that charges cell phones and e-readers.
Unite to Light manufactures and distributes efficient, durable, low cost solar lamps and solar chargers to people without access to electricity.
A major area of focus for the Unite to Light project is on education, supplying lights to students who could use the lights to study at night.
Not only are the kerosene lamps students use to study less reliable, but four hours of sitting near them cause exposure to fumes equal to smoking two packs of cigarettes.
In areas where the Unite to Light’s solar lights were distributed, there was a recorded 30% improvement in students’ exam scores.
Since 2013, Unite to Light has partnered with WE Charity in Haiti to distribute solar lights to students in rural communities without electricity.
In 2015 Unite to Light partnered with the Makhasa School in South Africa to create their first Light Library, in which Luke Lights are borrowed and returned by students on a basis similar to books in public libraries.
In 2017 Unite to Light donated 1,000 lights and opened 14 Light Libraries across South African schools, and the following year donated an additional 1,500 solar lights.
To judge the efficacy of these lights on student performance, Unite to Light received data on the pass rates of the Matric Exam, which students must pass to graduate from high school.
Comparing 2015 pre-Light Library test scores to those after the Light Libraries had been implemented in 2017, there was an increase in pass rates of 21%.
Partnering with the United Nations Population Fund's Safe Birth Even Here campaign, Unite to Light created the Light for Life project, in which solar lights are distributed to midwives in conflict zones and rural regions.
In 2017, Unite to Light and UNFPA distributed 11,000 solar lights to the Bangladesh Midwifery Society for the Rohingya refugee mothers.
In 2011, with the KAITEKI Institute, Unite to Light partnered with Direct Relief to donate lights to global midwifery training programs.
In 2017 Unite to Light partnered with Santa Barbara’s Safe Parking Program and distributed 50 Luke Lights and solar chargers to dehoused populations living out of their cars in Santa Barbara.
After Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico in 2017, Unite to Light teamed up with Direct Relief to send 2,550 solar lights to the island.
Under one model, Unite to Light sells lights to nonprofits and individuals at cost so that they may further their own missions to help those without electricity.
Under the second model, Unite to Light employs a TOMS Shoes model, in which for every light they sell, they donate another light.
Unite to Light stresses that they are careful to give away lights only to people who would not otherwise have been able to afford even a low-cost solar light.
The Children's Museum at Holyoke is a children's museum in Holyoke, Massachusetts, featuring participatory art, exhibits related to science and daily life, a replica TV studio and an elaborate climbing area.
The museum is located Downtown, within Holyoke Heritage State Park, in the renovated Sheldon Building of the former William Skinner and Sons silk mill complex.
In the year after the destructive fire that razed the William Skinner and Sons mill complex next to City Hall, the Department of Environmental Management began drawing up plans for a new state park on the site, part of the Heritage Parks program inspired by Lowell Heritage State Park.
Hoping to make a children's museum a part of the Heritage Park Project, the Junior League of Holyoke opened a pilot version of the museum to crowds on September 27, 1981, in a renovated storefront at 171 High Street.
Modeled on the Boston Children's Museum, the prototype had four exhibits, a mock-up of a firetruck by local carpenter Jay Mulcahy, a mock post office, a paper mill exhibit where volunteers would blend wood pulp for children to make their own paper sheets, and a small linocut print shop.
Although it would be several more years before the museum would relocate to Holyoke Heritage Park, the pilot proved to be a success and in the following year the museum moved to its first permanent home, 15 Papineau Street, at the old Springdale School.
Among these was a 1983 temporary exhibit introducing children to disability studies with activities such as having children attempt to tie their shoes wearing oversized gloves, riding different wheelchairs, attempting to read in braille, and completing various puzzles while blindfolded.
In its first several years the museum would also incorporate exhibits celebrating different cultures, including events such as demonstrations of cooking Indian food, and Irish dancing.
On August 9, 1984, the museum officially incorporated as a separate nonprofit entity from the Junior League, as Children's Museum at Holyoke, Inc.
The museum would finally begin its move to Holyoke Heritage State Park with a groundbreaking ceremony for the renovation of the Sheldon Building, a storage building of the former Skinner Silk Mills, on November 9, 1985.
Almost two years later, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on the evening of June 5, 1987, along with another ceremony for opening of the Volleyball Hall of Fame in the same building; the museum opened to visitors with regular hours the following day.

Price-Whelan 1 (PW 1) is a young stellar association or disrupting star cluster with low metallicity and extragalactic origin, more specifically the leading arm of the Magellanic gas stream originating in the Magellanic Clouds.
The existence of Price-Whelan 1 suggests that the stream of gas extending from the Magellanic Clouds to our Milky Way is about half as far from the Milky Way as previously thought.
This difference is explained with the gas experiencing ram pressure as it passes through the hot gas of the Milky Way halo.
Another possible origin of the star cluster could be the high-velocity cloud HVC 287.5+22.5+240, which has a similar metallicity compared with Price-Whelan 1.
This cloud is part of the leading arm and displays a strong magnetic field, which could stabilize the cloud against the ram pressure.

In 1997 she moved to the University of Cambridge, where she earned her doctorate and was supported by a Bateman Scholarship.
Her research involves the use of geochemistry of carbonate fossils to understand climate change, in an effort to understand how ice sheets respond to changing levels in carbon dioxide.
In 2016 Lear investigated the reasons that ice ages now take place every 100,000 years, rather than on the 40,000 intervals that they occurred on previously.
By monitoring the chemical composition of microfossils, Lear identified that there was more carbon dioxide stored in the deep oceans during the ice ages at 100,000 year intervals.
These findings imply that during these times extra carbon dioxide is being pulled into the oceans from the earth's atmosphere, which lowers the temperature on Earth and results in ice sheets engulfing the Northern Hemisphere.
She showed that volcanic eruptions of the Columbia River Basalt Group releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, triggering a decline in ocean pH and increasing global temperatures.
The associated sea level rise buried large numbers of marine organisms in sediment, transferring volcanic carbon to the ocean over thousands of years.

Durant created a substantial body of work, often in marble and featuring characters from English literature or the Bible, but much of which has been lost.
Durant was born in Stamford Hill in Middlesex, now part of London, to George and Mary Durant, née Dugdale, who were both from Devon.
George Durant was a successful silk broker and on at least one occasion the family spent a winter in Rome which encouraged Susan Durant's interest in sculpture.
Although she established a studio in London, Durant frequently returned to Paris to work with de Triqueti either as his assistant or on common commissions.
From 1847 until her death, Durant frequently exhibited portrait busts at the Royal Academy in London, including a self-portrait in 1853.
In 1857 she created a marble bust of the American author Harriet Beecher Stowe, which is now held at the Harriet Beecher Stowe Centre in Connecticut, while Castle Howard in Yorkshire has a plaster version.
The bust, showing Stowe garlanded with grape leaves and wearing a shawl fastened by a cameo broach of her husband, helped enhance Durant's reputation.
The Stowe portrait and a 1863 medallion of George Grote, held by University College, London, are among the two earliest known surriving portrait works by Durant.
In 1863 Durant was the only women among the 14 artists commissioned by the Corporation of London to provide sculptures of figures from literature to decorate the Egyptian Hall of the Mansion House.
Through de Triqueti, Durant was introduced to members of the British Royal Family and received several commissions from Queen Victoria and, for a time, taught model making to Princess Louise.
Durant was commissioned to produce high-relief profiles on polychrome marble roundels of Victoria, Prince Albert and their children for the Albert Chapel in Windsor Castle.
Reduced size copies were also cast in metal as official gifts, a set of which are in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London.
The Queen commissioned Durant to produce a memorial to her uncle, King Leopold I of Belgium, for Saint George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.
The monument, showing the king reclining with his hand on a lion in front of two angels in relief holding the flags of England and Belgium, was unveiled at Windsor in 1867 where it remained until 1879 when it was moved to Christ Church in Esher.

Harold Nelson Smyrk (16 September 1889 – 10 November 1956) was an Australian diving champion who represented Great Britain at the 1908 Olympic Games in London.
Smyrk was born in Melbourne, where his father Herbert Moesbury Smyrk (1862 – 3 June 1947) was a stained-glass artist, a partner with one Charles Rogers as Smyrk & Rogers.
The partnership dissolved in September 1888, and the family left for Adelaide to work for painter and decorator E. F. Troy (c. 1855–1910) of Gawler Place and Flinders Street.
His father was a good swimmer, and Harold an apt pupil, and soon became quite proficient, but diving and particularly the high dive was where he excelled.
The family left for London around March 1898, to the regret of members of the Adelaide Easel Club, of which his father had been an active member.
but a year later his imminent return to Australia was reported, his father having apparently not enjoyed the acceptance he had been hoping for.

The winter quarters is built as a Circus Land with access for visitors during the winter holidays, summer holidays and autumn holidays, which offers a wide range of activities, rides and small performances.
The name Berdino was constructed by Victor Arne Olsen by a mixture of the name of a well-known escape artist Bernadi and a monkey named Dino.
In 1958 the preview show changed from being an attraction at markets on weekends to actual standalone circus performances and after 1959 Circus Arena was completely freed from the market craze.
In the first years the circus troupe consisted solely of the Berdino family who in addition to Arne Berdino consisted of the daughter Jytte and the son Benny as performers as well as Mrs. Lydia.
In the following years more artists joined in and the small business expanded from being Denmark's smallest circus into a neat medium-sized business with a four-masted circus tent.
His son Benny Berdino took over Circus Arena in 1976 after his father's sudden death and over the following decades he expanded the business into the largest circus in Scandinavia and within the nordic countries with several traveling businesses.
No one was seriously injured but nine were injured two of whom were sent to observation at the hospital with a concussion and hip fracture respectively.
The tent collapsed under heavy winds, but a report from the Danish Working Environment Service in August of the same year concluded that the actual setting up of the tent was the cause of the collapse and not the weather and the circus was given an injunction by the authorities.
In January 2014 the prosecutor in the case demanded that Cirkus Arena's manager Jackie Berdino-Olsen should be held responsible for the episode.. On April 30, 2015 the court dismissed all charges against Jackie Berdino-Olsen in the case of the tent collapse at Kalundborg.
The then government entered into an agreement with the Social Democrats and the Danish People's Party on March 23 2018 to obtain the necessary majority in the Danish Parliament (Folketinget) for the proposal to banned wild animals in the circus.
The conciliation parties arranged for a certain transitional arrangement for the four circus elephants in Denmark at the time (three in Circus Arena and one in Circus Trapez).
However the law did not reach adoption before the 2019 Danish general election which meant that it was still allowed to show elephants, sea lions and zebras if the conditions of the decree on holding and displaying animals in the circus were fulfilled.
In order to ensure that the elephants did not bring any diseases to the other animals in Knuthenborg Safaripark they were placed in quarantine since in the case of elephants there is a particular risk of tuberculosis.
Circus Arena's three elephants Lara and Djungla at 31 years and Jenny at 29 years underwent a health check in December and in January 2019 Circus Trapez's 35-year-old elephant Ramboline also underwent a health check.
To perform a health examination of an elephant it is necessary to semi-sedate it which involves a risk that something could go wrong and the animal dies.
In order to maintain the offer to receive the elephants in Knuthenborg Safari Park and to get the indispensable guarantee that the elephants were tuberculosis-free they could not be moved from their land and barn.
Benny Berdino had calculated that the costs of Circus Arena including investment in the required housing conditions amounted to almost 40 million Danish krones.
He believed that 20 million was a fair compensation for the elephants and the remaining investment in housing conditions made in accordance with the rules adopted by the Danish Parliament (Folketinget) in June 2009 based on a report from 2008 prepared by the Ministry of Justices working group on the holding of animals in the circuses.
The rules and the later order on the holding of animals in the circuses made it legal to allow elephants to perform but made a number of demands.
However the former government had only set aside 7 million Danish krones in the Finance Act for compensation or 1.75 million Danish krones for each elephant considering that was the maximum that the Danish state could pay without violating European Unions rules on state aid.
The web portal Cirkus in Denmark mentioned in their news report that when Cirkus Benneweis sold its three elephants in 1995 the best bid then was 250,000 Deutsche Marks for each elephant corresponding to approximately 950,000 Danish krones in 1995 (in 2018 that would correspond to approximately 1.5 million Danish krones).

Hui Aloha ʻĀina were two Hawaiian nationalist organizations (one for men and another for women) established by Native Hawaiian political leaders and statesmen and their spouses in the aftermath of the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom and Queen Liliʻuokalani on January 17, 1893.
The organization was formed to promote Hawaiian patriotism and independence and oppose the overthrow and the annexation of Hawaii to the United States.
Its members organized and collected the Kūʻē Petitions to oppose the annexation, which ultimately blocked a treaty of annexation in the United States Senate in 1897.
The two organizations have also been called Ka Hui Hawaiʻi Aloha ʻĀina o Na Kane and Ka Hui Hawaiʻi Aloha ʻĀina o Na Wahine or Ka Hui Hawaiʻi Aloha ʻĀina o Na Lede.
During the funeral processions of Princess Kaʻiulani and Queen Kapiʻolani in 1899, the organizations were referred to as Ahahui Aloha Aina and Ahahui Aloha Aina o na Wahine, respectively.
The organization was founded on March 4, 1893, two and half months after the overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani by pro-American forces within the kingdom who established the Provisional Government of Hawaii.
The founding officers of Hui Aloha ʻĀina were Joseph Nāwahī, John Adams Cummins, John K. Kaunamano and John W. Bipikane, who were all former legislators or ministers in the Hawaiian monarchical government during the reigns of Liliʻuokalani and her predecessor King Kalākaua.
The objective of the organization was to promote Hawaiian patriotism and independence, oppose the overthrow, restore the monarchy, oppose the rule of the Provisional Government and its successor the Republic of Hawaii and oppose any attempts annexation of the Hawaiian Islands to the United States.
By July 1893, the organization claimed total membership of 7,500 native-born Hawaiian qualified voters (out of 13,000 registered voters) and a women's branch of over 11,000 members.
A delegation of members presented the case of the monarchy and the Hawaiian people to the United States Commissioner James Henderson Blount who was sent by President Grover Cleveland to investigate the overthrow.
In anticipation of a new vote on an annexation treaty supported by President William McKinley, Hui Aloha ʻĀina and other Hawaiian nationalist groups collected the Kūʻē Petitions to oppose the treaties ratification in the United States Senate.
Members of Hui Aloha ʻĀina for Men and Hui Aloha ʻĀina for Women collected over 21,000 signatures across the island chain opposing annexation in 1897.
Another 17,000 signatures were collected by members of Hui Kālaiʻāina but not submitted to the Senate because those signatures were also asking for restoration of the monarchy.
These were submitted by a commission of Native Hawaiian delegates consisting of Kaulia, David Kalauokalani (president of Hui Kālaiʻāina), William Auld, and John Richardson to the United States government.
The petitions collectively were presented as evidence of the strong grassroots opposition of the Hawaiian community to annexation, and the treaty was defeated in the Senate.
However, a year following the defeat of the treaty in the Senate, Hawaii was annexed via the Newlands Resolution, a joint resolution of Congress, in July 1898.
This was done shortly after the outbreak of the Spanish–American War and necessitated by the strategic position of Hawaii as a Pacific military base.
A corresponding women's organization named Hui Aloha ʻĀina o Na Wahine (Hawaiian Women's Patriotic League) was founded on March 27, 1893 by Emilie Widemann Macfarlane, the part-Hawaiian daughter of Hermann A. Widemann.
On April 17, Macfarlane and a small group of younger Hawaiian women resigned their positions, after a dispute arose between two factions of the group over the wordings to the memorial seeking the restoration of the monarchy to be presented to the United States Commissioner James Henderson Blount sent by President Grover Cleveland to investigate the overthrow.

In 1996, historian Noenoe K. Silva discovered the 21,269 signatures of the Kūʻē Petitions by Hui Aloha ʻĀina in the National Archives in Washington, DC, but the whereabout of the original Hui Kālaiʻāina petition remains unknown.

As the first major winter storm of the season in the northeast, it dumped 22.6 inches of snow in Albany, where it was the heaviest snowfall since the 1993 Superstorm.
Widespread totals in excess of 20 inches occurred in the Albany Metro, Southern New Hampshire and Northwestern Massachusetts with a regional peak of 36 inches of snow in New Ipswich, New Hampshire.
Entering the United States late on November 26 as a powerful Bomb Cyclone/Pacific Northwest Windstorm, it made landfall in Crescent City, California with a minimum pressure of 973.4 mb, unofficial breaking state records.
Over the following three days it merged with the Subtropical Jet Stream as it trekked slowly eastward over the Rockies, High Plains and Midwest.
On December 1–2 it entered the Northeast as the first major winter storm of the season, moving out to sea by December 3.
Whilst southern Oregon and northern California received wind gusts exceeding 100 mph, southern California and Arizona experienced widespread heavy rain, severe thunderstorms and flash flooding.
Although much of the L.A. Basin only received between ½ and ¾ of an inch of rain, local totals amounted to 2.17 inches of rain in Long Beach.
Following the recent drought and wildfires, the ground had reduced ability to absorb rain water and so the NWS warned of the possibility of flash floods and debris flows.

The State Home and School for Dependent and Neglected Children was the first state home for needy children in the state of Rhode Island.
The school was established in 1884 and operated until 1979, when its remaining functions were taken over by other state organizations.
Most of its surviving grounds and buildings are now on the Rhode Island College East Campus, and have been listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places.
Prior to the founding of this school, neglected and needy children (either orphans or those whose parents could not care for them) were typically handled at the local or county level in poor houses.
In 1884 the state purchased a farm in what was then rural western Providence, which was adapted for use as a school and home.
The school's principal function came under criticism for extreme overcrowding, and the state began emphasizing placement of needy children in foster homes instead.
Updated views of the treatment of children in the institution also prompted the demolition of most of the older cottages in favor of more modern residential facilities in the 1950s, with an emphasis on short-term stays.
The facility continued to suffer from management and treatment issues, and was finally closed in 1979, its functions taken over by the state Department of Children, Youth , and Families.
Rhode Island College had established its current campus adjacent to the facility in 1958, and began to take over the former school buildings and grounds in the 1990s.

Stanley Adair Cain (19 June 1902, Deputy, Indiana – 1 April 1995, Santa Cruz, California) was a botanist and pioneer of plant ecology and environmental studies.
His doctoral dissertation on the heath balds of the Great Smoky Mountains was based upon field work in 1929 and 1930.
At Butler University's department of botany, Cain was an instructor from 1924 to 1927, an assistant professor from 1927 to 1930, and an associate professor from 1930 to 1931.
At Indiana University, he was an assistant professor of botany from 1931 to 1933 and a research associate in the Waterman Institute from 1933 to 1935.
In 1945 Cain was a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army and served as chief of the scientific section of the American Army University in Biarritz in the French Basque Country.
In 1950 Samuel Trask Dana appointed him to the Charles Lathrop Pack Professorship of Conservation in the University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources.
Cain established the Department of Conversation in the School of Natural Resources and served as the Department's chair from 1950 to 1961.
The purpose of the U.N. Mission was to study rainforest vegetation in order to provide information for mosquito control in Brazil's efforts to prevent malaria.
From 1965 to 1968 Cain was on leave of absence so that he could serve as Assistant Secretary of the Interior in the Johnson Administration.
He was the author or co-author of over 100 articles in scientific journals, including Botanical Gazette, Ecological Monographs, American Midland Naturalist, Ecology, The Bryologist, Castanea, and American Journal of Botany.
The Freedom 35 is an American sailboat that was designed by David Pedrick as a racer/cruiser and first built in 1993.
The design was built by Tillotson Pearson for Freedom Yachts in the United States starting in 1993, but it is now out of production.
It has a free-standing (unstayed) fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom with a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional wing keel.
The galley is at the foot of the companionway steps, on the port side, and includes a two-burner propane stove, an icebox and a double sink.
It affords nice creature comforts while maintaining an essential degree of privacy for two couples or a family out for a couple of weeks.
The galley is a bit small but there has to be some sacrifice when you put two private sleeping areas into a 35-footer.
The mine office, and eventually the entire town of Day Dawn, were abandoned following the closure in 1918 of the adjacent Great Fingall Mine and the outbreak of World War One.
The mine office has significant heritage value as the only substantial building left in Day Dawn, and as a rare example of co-located administrative and assay offices.
The condition has declined due to decades without any use, but remains generally sound, with the only alterations being the removal of verandahs, deterioration related to exposure to weather, and vandalism.
There were initially concerns about the mining operation causing further deterioration to the historic building, due to flyrock from blasting, or of a wall collapse due to the closeness of the open cut pit, but by 1997 the threat was assessed as having passed.
By 2020, the growth of the mine to within of the building was endangering it – the gradual erosion of the edge could cause the mining office to slip into the mine.
Since , the Shire of Cue has been looking at relocating the heritage building to the town of Cue, where it could be restored, and opened to the public, but the $3 million cost is beyond the capacity of the shire, which was hoping for assistance from the state government and the mine's owner, Westgold.
The film was later released on VHS in the United Kingdom, and this release is now considered to be a valuable collector's item.

St Peter and St Sigfrid’s Church, often referred to locally as the English Church, is an Anglican church in Stockholm, Sweden.
It was built in the 1860s for the British congregation in the city and was originally located on Rörstrandsgatan (later renamed Wallingatan) in the Norrmalm district before being moved, stone by stone, to the Diplomatstaden area of Östermalm in 1913.
The church is part of Church of England's Diocese of Gibraltar in Europe and is dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Sigfrid.
In 1741 King Frederick I accepted their petition for the right to worship publicly, since a Swedish church had already been established in Wapping, London.
The church was supported by a poor box into which, until 1871, every English ship captain calling at Stockholm contributed 24 Swedish riksdaler.
A site was purchased on Rörstrandsgatan (later renamed Wallingatan) in the Norrmalm district of Stockholm, and the foundation stone of St Peter and St Sigfrid’s Church was laid and dedicated on 7 April 1863.
The original location being considered unsuitable, the church was moved, stone by stone, to the Diplomatstaden area of Östermalm, close to the British embassy, in 1913 thanks to the efforts of Crown Princess Margaret, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
The reconstruction, including the addition of a vestry and the extension of the nave, was supervised by the Swedish architect A. E. Melander and took a total of nine months.
St Peter and St Sigfrid’s Church was designed by James Souttar and built by Albert Svennson, based on earlier plans drawn up by Gustavus Hamilton.
The organ was built in 1994 at Ålems Orgelverkstad in Småland and has one manual and ten and a half stops, with 650 pipes.
The church also contains a triptych from Oberammergau, a hanging crucifix dedicated in 1970 and a number of stained glass windows, including the large west window, which is dedicated to Crown Princess Margaret and depicts the life and faith of Saint Margaret of Scotland.

Julie Novkov is an American political scientist, currently a professor of political science and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies at the University at Albany, SUNY.
She studies the history of American law, American political development, and subordinated identities, with a focus on how laws are used for social control while also being affected by social reform movements.
Novkov then became a graduate student in political science at the University of Michigan, receiving an MA in 1994 and a PhD in 1998.
Since 2018 she has been the Director of Undergraduate Studies in that department, and from 2008-2011 she was the Director of Graduate Studies.
To establish the gendered origins of modern employment laws, Novkov draws on hundreds of cases that concerned labor issues between 1873 and 1937, from both the state and federal level.
This book studies the history and use of bans on interracial marriage in Alabama, which retained language against interracial marriages until 2000.
Novkov separates the legal history of Alamaba's anti-miscegenation law into several periods within the span 1865-1954, and uses the legal trends within each period to argue that the anti-miscegenation law was being used as a tool of state-building.
In addition to publishing in political science journals, she has also published extensively in law reviews, and has served as an editor for several books.
Novkov is a member of the 2020-2024 editorial leadership of the American Political Science Review, which is the most selective political science journal.
Novkov's work has been cited in media reports on topics like interracial marriage laws, bias in academia, and political divisions in America.

Navy bands in Canada are part of the Royal Canadian Navy's command structure and overseen by the Music Branch of the Canadian Forces and the Directorate of History and Heritage of the Department of National Defence.
Navy music dates back to the era in which the Military of New France was the primary mitary force of the region.
Musical units were primarily attached to the Compagnies Franches de la Marine and the Troupes de la marine, both of which were autonomous naval infantry units attached to the French Royal Navy.
Marine bands and their respective corps of drums provided music aboard ships before and during battles of the Napoleonic Wars, notably during actions in the Battle of Trafalgar.
Halifax's history with naval music dates back to its establishment, with the cities ports supporting the garrison and fleet bands in the city.
After 1870, the presence of naval bands, particularly fleet bands, became insignificant in Western Canada and specifically in Victoria, British Columbia.
Among the last British naval bands to go to Western Canada in the 19th century was the one from HMS Warspite (03) from 1890-1893 and from 1899-1902.
The history of naval bands in the British Columbia area goes back to the 1920s when various military bands provided musical support for HMCS Naden in the pre-World War II era.
In 1943 he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander and appointed music director of the RCN School of Music in Toronto.
One of these bands was the Naden Band, formed in August 1940, which soon gained recognition as one the premier Canadian navy bands, with its duties during the war consisting of keeping civilian and military morale high.
The Royal Canadian Navy School of Music was created in 1954 in Esquimalt, British Columbia for musicians of the RCN, with the school being the Canadian equivalent of the United States Armed Forces School of Music.
In 1961, the school was expanded and rebranded to include musicians from the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force and by the time of the Unification of the Canadian Armed Forces in February 1968, the school had officially been renamed to the Canadian Forces School of Music.
Until it was dissolved, the Band of HMCS Carleton served as the effective Central Band of the RCN as it was based in Ottawa, the national capital.
The 1994 Canadian federal budget resulted in the disbanding of five of the nine regular force bands, including the Naden Band.
In June 1997, Art Eggleton, the then Minister of National Defence announced a restructuring of the Music Branch and the creation of a new band in Victoria, re-establishing a full-time regular force naval band on the West Coast.
Since 2007, Naval musicians, along with musicians from the Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Air Force have manned the Band of the Ceremonial Guard in Ottawa, adopting the uniforms of the CG's two Foot Guard regiments, the Governor General's Foot Guards from Ottawa and the Canadian Grenadier Guards from Montreal.
While most naval band members have some sort of part-time contract with the band, the RCN's two professional bands are composed of musicians with musical experience such as a music major.
Unlike the United Kingdom and more like United States military bands, Canada's navy, as well as other military services, sports Sousaphones in its bands.
Due to a lack of a central band, many combined bands have performed when trying to represent the RCN as a whole.
In the Royal Canadian Navy, corps of drums have been historically attached to military bands at the front-rank following the precedent the bands of the Royal Navy and the Corps of Royal Marines.
After the 1968 Unification of the Canadian Armed Forces, corps of drums in both the RCN, were dismantled and abolished, although notably making a return in the mid-1980s within the naval reserve.
In July 2013, a five-person corps of drums was unveiled for the first time by the Naden Band of Maritime Forces Pacific a Victoria Day Parade.
During the Second World War, many naval units maintained small corps of drums that were stationed at all major navy bases.
While most of them were staffed by active duty sailors, others were volunteer bandsmen, who served as reservists and professional civilian percussionists.
Naval bands primarily participate in military parades, in concert, and play a role in solemn ceremonies such as military funerals and ceremonies such as the Ceremony of the Flags, and the Presentation of Colours.
For reserve bands, they often participate in community as well as country's most revered commemorative naval eventa such as Remembrance Day parades and the Battle of the Atlantic anniversary.
In September 2010, the Royal Canadian Navy sponsored the Canadian Naval Centennial Tattoo in Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver celebrating the 100th anniversary of the RCN.
Among the foreign and non RCN bands that performed were the Band of the Royal Marines, the Vancouver Police Pipe Band, and the Pipe Band of The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada.
Performances on Parliament Hill for military parades and the Fortissimo Sunset Ceremony have taken place, as well as ceremonies at the nearby National War Memorial.
The Royal Canadian Navy operates two full-time professional bands, one for each operational area of the Royal Canadian Navy, the Atlantic in the East and Pacific in the West.
The Stadacona Band is based at CFB Halifax, and represents Maritime Forces Atlantic, whereas the Naden Band represents Maritime Forces Pacific, based at CFB Esquimalt.
Both bands are brass and reed bands (band's consisting of brass instruments and woodwind instruments) and are part of the Regular Force.
The Canadian Forces Naval Reserve maintains five military bands, that are also supported by a summertime band made up of musicians those five Naval Reserve bands that come together to form the National Band of the Naval Reserve, which spends the summer season performing throughout Canada.
Being voluntary bands, they are staffed by cadets from their respective units, typically being assisted by instructors in Canadian military bands of the Regular Force and Primary Reserve.
As of 2002, there were 28 Sea Cadet bands in Ontario alone, with 16 of them being drum and bugle corps.
Units larger than thirty people usually sport one of the three, or even will have lone instrument players such as a drum and bell (glockenspiel), a drum line or a lone piper.
Pipe Band notably exist in Sea Cadets bands, although they are rare due to both the lack of a Naval tradition of piping, and the comparative expense of the instruments.
The drum majors of these bands use a different command styles from their counterparts in the RCN, particularly with commands such as countermarch and marktime.

Child Guidance was both an evolving 20th-century social construct, sometimes called the Child Guidance Movement, and an influential network of multidisciplinary clinics set up to address the problems of childhood and adolescence.
It began in the United States and after World War I spread rapidly to Europe, especially to England, though not to Scotland.
It therefore predated the advent of child psychiatry as a medical specialism and of distinct child psychiatric departments as part of modern hospital settings.
Although people working in the child guidance movement were among the first to adopt child psychotherapy as a treatment method and generated a body of mainly psychoanalytic theory on child development based on observation and case studies, they were late in adopting the scientific method.
The movement can be dated to 1906 Chicago as a response to juvenile delinquency, when the city was at the forefront of progressive ideas about legislation and treatment.
Striving towards civic advancement and supported by the city's interested professionals such as teachers, social workers, lawyers, academics, doctors, community leaders and politicians, the Juvenile Courts and correctional institutions ended the incarceration of children with adults.
It was established by the Jewish Health Organisation, aided by the LCC, to help children deemed to have emotional, behavioural and educational difficulties.
The initial model adopted by child guidance clinics in England was to act as a child and adolescent assessment centre staffed by a lead physician, later a child psychiatrist, assisted by an educational psychologist, or sometimes a clinical psychologist and trained social workers.
During World War II, the mass evacuation of children from cities and their families not only created a vast logistical challenge, but offered a unique opportunity to study the impacts on individuals.
Just prior and after the war, there was a significant influx of refugee child care specialists to the UK from Europe, many of whom were psychoanalytically trained, and who in time exerted influence within child guidance clinics.
Their accent on child development stages and new treatment methods put a strain on the Medical model and hierarchical structure of the clinics and led to inter-professional conflicts.
With a changing social landscape in the country and new trends in sociology and culture as well as in criminology, followed by the introduction of Family therapy, the clinics struggled to adapt to new demands.

She was also one of the initiators of a movement that led to the 2015 referendum for Gagauzia to join the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union.
During the 2015 campaign Russian celebrities and deputies of the Russian State Duma publicly backed Vlah; in response the Moldovan government accused Russia of meddling in the election and threatened to ban those involved from entering the country.
Ukraine reinforced its western border adjacent to Gagauzia upon the victory of Vlah, a pro-Russian candidate, only a year after the annexation of Crimea and amidst the ongoing war against Russian-backed forces in its eastern provinces.
Valerii Ianioglo was supported by United Gagauzia, whilst Nicolai Dudoglo was backed by the Democratic Party, the Equality Movement and New Gagauzia.
Sverdrup was born in Stockholm; he was the son of the bishop and politician Jakob Sverdrup and the brother of the Germanic philology professor Jakob Sverdrup and the zoologist Aslaug Sverdrup Sømme.
After graduation, he worked as an instructor and school principal in Molde and at the Tanks Upper Secondary School in Bergen.
After the Second World War, he received a professorship in religious studies at the University of Oslo as the successor to Wilhelm Schencke.
Esther 10 is the tenth (and the final) chapter of the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, The author of the book is unknown and modern scholars have established that the final stage of the Hebrew text would have been formed by the second century BCE.
This chapter is an encomium to Mordecai, showing his power alongside that of the king, being a Jew as second in command to a Gentile king, serving the interests of both groups—Persians and Jews.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes Codex Leningradensis (1008).
Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; formula_1; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: formula_1; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; formula_1; 5th century).
A naturist resort or nudist resort is an establishment that provides accommodation (or at least camping space) and other amenities for guests in a context where they are invited to practise naturism – that is, a lifestyle of non-sexual social nudity.
Naturist communities were once referred to as nudist colonies, and this term still exists in popular culture, but it is avoided by most naturists today due to negative connotations.
Naturist resorts and communities exist on a spectrum without sharp distinctions – a naturist resort might be primarily commercial in focus but also accommodate some permanent residents, while a naturist community might be primarily residential but also cater to some paying visitors.
Some naturist resorts and communities require nudity as a condition of remaining on the site; others are clothing-optional, allowing people to wear clothing so long as they tolerate others going nude.
A few naturist communities are large enough to host businesses such as shops, banks, and restaurants; these may be referred to as naturist villages.
The earliest known naturist club, the Fellowship of the Naked Trust, was founded in Matheran in British India in 1891 by a District and Sessions judge named Charles Crawford.
A proposal to add a female branch to the organization was never realized, and it went out of existence when Crawford was transferred to Ratnagiri shortly thereafter.
Correspondence between Crawford and early gay rights activist Edward Carpenter suggests the latter knew of similar groups in Vienna and Munich at the time, but no other evidence of their existence has surfaced.
Marcel Kienné de Mongeot is credited with introducing naturism to France in 1920, seeing it as a potential cure for tuberculosis (which had affected his family).
An early forerunner was the American Sunbathing Association, which was founded in 1931, and has now become the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR).
Most of the national organizations were created in the 1940s and 1950s, including the British Sun Bathers Association (now British Naturism), the Féderation Française de Naturisme, the Canadian Sunbathing Association (now a division of the AANR), and the New Zealand Sunbathing Association (now the New Zealand Naturist Federation).
The INF was founded at the world's first naturist holiday centre, Centre Hélio-Marin (CHM) Montalivet in France, which had been opened three years previously by Albert and Christine Lecocq.
Croatia is reputed to have been the first European country to develop commercial naturist resorts, at a time when naturism in other countries was limited to membership clubs (and when Croatia was part of Yugoslavia).
More commercial resorts followed in France, notably the Oltra Club in Cap d'Agde, a camping and caravanning site which in the 1970s became the nucleus of the new Naturist Village.
Today most naturist clubs with land and facilities operate them as resorts catering to paying guests, although many are still focused primarily on club members.
The first two decades of the 21st century saw the appearance of the first commercial naturist resorts in South East Asia, with nine operating in Thailand as of the opening of Barefeet Heaven Hill Naturist Resort in December 2019, and two in Bali.
Whilst tolerance for nudity in general is increasing over time, and higher among younger generations, naturist club membership numbers have fallen in recent decades and average members are increasingly older people.
It is speculated that younger naturists no longer feel they need to join a club or visit a resort in order to practise naturism.
A naturist resort will reliably have facilities for swimming, whether an artificial pool or access to a natural body of water; in the former case, even resorts that are clothing-optional typically require nudity in the pool.
A large nude volleyball tournament (over 70 teams) has been held each autumn since 1971 at White Thorn Lodge in western Pennsylvania and several smaller tournaments occur each year throughout North America.
The exceptions, adults-only swingers' resorts such as Hedonism II in Jamaica, are not affiliated with any naturist organizations, and their practices are not accepted as naturist by most naturists.
Historically, most naturist clubs and resorts refused entry to men who were not accompanied by women, and these restrictions still remain in many places.
Most clubs have restrictions on photography; at the loosest, it is forbidden to photograph adults without their permission or children other than one's own.
The subgenre petered out in the mid-1960s due to a combination of falling audience numbers and law changes which rendered the documentary pretext unnecessary.
The Birthday Honours were appointments by some of the 16 Commonwealth realms of Queen Elizabeth II to various orders and honours to reward and highlight good works by citizens of those countries.
On November 5, 1838, Trowbridge was elected to the Michigan Senate where he represented the 3rd district from January 7, 1839 to 1841.
On November 1, 1841, Trowbridge was again elected to the Michigan Senate where he represented the 6th district from January 3, 1842 until the end of 1842.
During this time, Alley gained interest in western swing music, a genre which merged his love for swing music and country.
The tornado outbreak of January 10–11, 2020 was a two-day severe weather event stretching from the South-Central Plains eastward into the Southeast United States.
An eastward-moving shortwave trough tracked across the continental United States through that two-day period, combining with abundant moisture, instability, and wind shear to promote the formation of a long-lived squall line.
Hundreds of damaging wind reports were received, and 79 tornadoes occurred within this line, making it the third largest January tornado outbreak on record.
Three tornadoes—an EF1 in eastern Texas, an EF2 in northern Louisiana, and an EF2 in western Alabama—led to a total of seven deaths, all in mobile homes.
The severe weather event was notable in that it was forecast well in advance, with the Storm Prediction Center first highlighting the risk area a full week beforehand.
Beginning on January 5, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) highlighted the potential for organized severe weather across central Texas eastward into far western Georgia valid for January 10–11.
The day 7 outlook issued that day constituted only the fourth time a severe weather risk had been delineated a week in advance in January, alongside January 23, 2013, January 18, 2010, and January 1, 2008.
Despite the unusually high confidence at a long lead time, the threat region aligned well with climatologically favored areas for severe weather during the month.
On January 6, the day 6 outlook for January 10 raised portions of northeastern Texas, northwestern Louisiana, southeastern Oklahoma, and southern Arkansas to a 30% probability of severe weather, equivalent to an Enhanced risk.
Much of Alabama and Mississippi, in addition to a small section of both Louisiana and Florida, were upgraded to an Enhanced risk in the following day's outlook as well.
On January 9, after days of refining the risk area, the SPC elevated northeastern Texas, northern Louisiana, and far southern Arkansas to a Moderate risk.
Although the Moderate risk was initially issued given high confidence in a widespread damaging wind event, including the potential for a derecho, the morning outlook on January 10 raised the potential for strong, long-tracked tornadoes across eastern Texas, northern Louisiana, southern Arkansas, and extreme western Mississippi.
At the start of the day, a cold front was analyzed from south-central Kansas southwestward into an area of low pressure across the Texas Panhandle.
Aloft, a deep shortwave trough across the Southwestern United States pushed eastward, resulting in cold mid-level temperatures and the development of a modestly unstable environment.
In the presence of strong wind shear, and given the impetus for convective development, thunderstorms mainly capable of a severe hail threat began to form throughout the morning hours.
As the cold front shifted eastward, a line of thunderstorms developed along this boundary from southern Missouri down into central Texas.
Despite the expectation that supercells capable of strong tornadoes would precede this line, convection instead failed to organize in an unstable but slightly capped environment.
The SPC ultimately decided to downgrade tornado probabilities and remove the hatched area denoting the potential for strong tornadoes in their 01:00 UTC outlook.
Throughout the overnight hours, the southern edge of the convective line surged eastward at an increasing rate, leading to interaction with pre-frontal thunderstorms that increased rotation in an already volatile environment.
An EF1 tornado west-southwest of Nacogdoches, Texas, led to the death of one person while a long-tracked EF2 tornado stretching from southeast of Bossier City to north of Arcadia, Louisiana, led to three more fatalities; all four deaths were in mobile homes.
By the afternoon hours of January 11, the already intense line of convection consolidated further as instability increased and an upper-level trough approached from the west.
Numerous other tornadoes and hundreds of damaging wind reports were recorded throughout the afternoon, but the squall line began to weaken late on January 11 as the forcing mechanism lifted northeast into the Ohio River Valley and as daytime heating waned.
Identicide is the targeting of a people’s cultural identity through the destruction of their places and objects with the intention to rid an area of that people.
The term was 1998 in coined by Sarah Jane Meharg, Ph.D. while completing her studies at the Royal Military College of Canada.
Because it cannot be named as such until after the fact, earlier intentional and destructive acts are often termed ‘potential genocide’ or ‘possible genocide’.
Identicide, as argued by Meharg, is centered around erasing the link between people and their places, in order to weaken cultural identity and create anomie.
These roots of identity are not only based within the people who inhabit a certain region, but also amongst the cultural infrastructure (i.e.
any form of literature, libraries), and social behaviors that support the functionality and cohesiveness a given community and contribute to their uniqueness and specificity that could be recalled, affecting the memory of their unique heritage, historical power and environment and ethnic leverage in a region over time.
The continued presence of such material and places allow a people’s identity to continue to live on, whether those people still exist, have evolved or have been eliminated, and as such their identity remains preserved in the memory of mankind and society.
According to Meharg, identicide is a deliberate act, normally performed as a tactic of armed conflict, but more specifically is aa strategy of warfare that deliberately targets and destroys cultural elements of a people through a variety of means in order to contribute to eventual acculturation, removal and/or total destruction of a particular identity group, including its contested signs, symbols, behaviours [sic], values, heritages, places and performances.
Identicide is the intentional killing of the relatedness between people and place that eliminates the bond, which underpins individual, community and national identity….Identicide takes many forms but serves a single function: to negatively affect the relationships between people and their places.
The tactics involved in identicide involve those that eliminate the bond between places and people, to include (but not restricted to) the burning of libraries and literature, the bombing of symbolic and sacred sites, as well as the appropriation of the vernacular places that have no military importance during conflict with the exception that a group of people is rooted to these places and material and identifies with them.
Belligerents seek to systematically destroy identity elements, causing anomie and other behavioral and attitudinal reactions, which can result in the group moving away, or submitting to control.
Identicide can take many forms, where the intense killing of a people in a short amount of time, as well as the physical destruction of its link with a place or region, are the more recognizable acts that fall within its scope.
However, longer term and more subtle acts, such as absorbing and integrating a culture within another through the transformation of religion, language, and social practices, or imposing/preventing demographic shifts within a community, with a final outcome to deliberately eliminate the remnants of a specific people and their landscape, could also be viewed as forms of identicide.
Identicide includes willful acts of destruction of the places, symbols, objects and other cultural property that represents the identity of a people, with the intent to erase the cultural narrative of that people in a particular region over time.
Identicide occurs before and during violent armed conflict and can be the precursor to genocide but does not necessarily result in genocide.
KWKW (1330 AM) – branded Tu Liga Radio 1330 – is a commercial Spanish language sports radio station licensed to Los Angeles, California.
Owned by Lotus Communications, the station serves Greater Los Angeles and much of surrounding Southern California, and is the Los Angeles affiliate of TUDN Radio.
The KWKW studios are located in the Los Angeles Hollywood Hills neighborhood, while the station transmitter resides in the nearby Crenshaw District, shared with KABC (790 AM) and KFOX (1650 AM).
Historically, this station is perhaps best known as KFAC, one of the most visible commercial fine arts/classical music stations in the United States, and one of the first to have adopted the format on a full-time basis.
By the time of their sales and format changes in 1989, KFAC and FM adjunct KFAC-FM (92.3) were two of only 41 stations—out of 9,000 commercial U.S. radio stations in operation—that played classical music.
The current KWKW license holds the distinction of being the oldest surviving radio station in the United States to have been built and signed on by a religious institution, while KWKW itself is Southern California's oldest Spanish-language radio station, having begun operations in 1941 as Pasadena station KWKW (1300 AM); its programming moved from 1300 AM to 1330 AM in 1989 when the latter was sold.
The Bible Institute of Los Angeles signed on station KJS on March 22, 1922, operating from their headquarters at Sixth and Hope Streets.
KJS programming primarily consisted of church services, including from the institute's affiliated Church of the Open Door, though programs from other churches were also featured.
KTBI's program director in 1927, Herbert G. Tovey, also conducted the institute's women's glee club; the Bible Institute offered a range of music courses to its students.
The station broadcast on a variety of frequencies—including 1020 kHz (sharing time with KHJ), 1040 kHz, and 1090 kHz—before receiving the 1300 kHz assignment in General Order 40 reallocation.
General Order 40 paired the station with another religious outlet: KGEF, the station of controversial evangelist Robert P. Shuler and his Trinity Methodist Church.
KTBI operated on a noncommercial basis, and when the Great Depression hit, a fall in donations led to the station becoming unsustainable for the institute to operate.
The Los Angeles Broadcasting Company was headed up by Errett Lobban Cord, a manufacturer best known for the Auburn and Cord automobile lines, and by O.R.
Cord and Fuller also had purchased KFVD in Culver City, based at Hal Roach Studios; both they and KFAC would remain at their original sites until both relocated to the Fuller Motors dealership in Wilshire Center, directly adjacent to the Wilshire Community Church.
Large radio towers were erected on top of the dealership, they were purely for display and advertisement purposes, as KFAC's actual transmitter site was moved to Los Angeles' Crestview neighborhood.
Fuller and his company went bankrupt prior to completion of the studios in 1932, prompting Cord to acquire KFAC and KFVD outright.
KFVD would be spun off to Standard Broadcasting Co for $50,000 on July 15, 1936, and moved out of the dealership two years later.
Cord divested his automotive holdings, which were merged into the Aviation Corporation in 1933, to separate interests in 1937 for $2.5 million.
Starting in 1932, KFAC began broadcasting unlimited time through a series of authorizations under special temporary authority; this arrangement became permanent in January 1933 when the Federal Radio Commission (FRC) deleted KGEF's license over Shuler's controversial views, following a series of failed appeals.
This would soon extend to 24-hour broadcasting for KFAC starting on March 8, 1935, joining KGFJ, which broadcast around the clock starting in 1927; both stations preceded WNEW in New York City, which started unlimited broadcasting that August 6.
The show also broadcast live performances every Friday afternoon for a live studio audience of children under the age of 12, Nelson himself also performed weekly puppet shows at Bullock's on Saturday afternoons.
The station also carried games from the Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League starting with the 1936 season, the majority of which would be recreations produced at their studios.
Legendary broadcaster Stan Chambers began his career in 1937 as an actor for a weekly children's program produced by one of his teachers at St. Brendan School, visiting the station repeatedly.
During this transitional period, in 1943, Steve Allen was hired as an overnight announcer on KFAC, having been recommended for the job by Madelyn Pugh Davis, who heard him perform on KOY (550 AM) in Phoenix.
Harry Mitchell, a former announcer at the Hollywood Palladium, was appointed as program director on July 6, 1944, and pledged to have the station place a greater emphasis on live programming.
E.L. Cord allegedly toured the studios one day in 1945 and recognized the substantial investments KFAC had made in classical recordings, finalizing the evolution.
While very much still a commercial station, Cord continued to operate KFAC mostly as a personal hobby despite not knowing much about the genre, his own personal tastes were eventually reflected in the station's presentation that persisted for decades.
KFAC also would hire veteran radio announcer/actor Dick Joy as their news director in 1951, handling all newscasts in the morning and some in the early afternoon.
KFAC signed on an FM adjunct, KFAC-FM, on December 29, 1948 at 104.3 MHz; the FM antenna was initially placed at the AM transmitter site, which was moved to the Crenshaw district in 1947, this site is still in use today by KWKW, as well as KABC and KFOX.
KFAC-FM would do just that, filing paperwork with the FCC in March 1954 to move the antenna to Mount Wilson and shifting frequencies from 104.3 MHz to 92.3 MHz, increasing the potential audience by 1.5 million people and the overall coverage area from 720 square miles to 8,300 square miles.
While the facility changes took place a few days prior, it was formally dedicated as part of another pseudo-stereo broadcast from the Bowl on July 15, 1954.
Both KFAC and KFAC-FM would move out of the Fuller Motors dealership penthouse to new studios at the Prudential Square in the Miracle Mile district, now known as SAG-AFTRA Plaza.
The studio move was completed on April 1953 when KFAC general manager Calvin Smith, Los Angeles Mayor Fletcher Bowron and Prudential Insurance vice president Harry Volk participated in a ceremonial soldering ceremony; KFAC experienced no loss of air time in the process.
As KFAC solidified its reputation and format as a classical music outlet, it also set out to remove some of the few remaining deviations from its format.
On February 15, 1957, it notified the First Methodist Church of Los Angeles, which paid commercial rates to broadcast its Sunday morning service over KFAC, that it would terminate the agreement.
KFAC carried First Methodist's morning and evening services beginning in 1942; in 1951, the station had removed the evening service from its schedule.
After First Methodist asked the FCC for a hearing into the issue, claiming that the cancellation affected the station's commitment at its last license renewal to carry 1.79 percent religious programming, the commission denied the request in May.
The two stations would remain in E.L. Cord's name until August 1962, when he would sell them to Cleveland Broadcasting Incorporated, headed by former Cleveland, Ohio mayor Raymond T. Miller, for a combined $2 million.
Miller also owned WLEC and WLEC-FM in Sandusky, Ohio and had founded WERE (1300 AM) and WERE-FM (98.5) in Cleveland, and pledged to maintain KFAC's classical format.
The pseudo-stereo broadcasts over KFAC and KFAC-FM continued until KFAC-FM converted to stereophonic sound in 1964, at one point, those broadcasts were offered for 12 hours each week.
KFAC at this time boasted weekly concert broadcasts by the Hollywood Bowl Symphony and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, in addition to concert series from the Los Angeles Symphonies' high school and the Los Angeles Art Museum.
Taking place every weekday at the Los Angeles Music Center's Pavilion Restaurant, Thomas Cassidy was the program's original host, primarily interviewing classical music artists.
Martin Workman became a substitute host in 1973 and succeeded Cassidy as host in 1976, broadening the show's focus to include opera, ballet, operetta and theater.Raymond T. Miller died on July 13, 1966.
One of his sons, Robert Miller, divested his stake in Cleveland Broadcasting Incorporated on April 1968 into an irrevocable trust when he acquired WDBN in Medina, Ohio—but served both the Cleveland and Akron markets—for $1 million, then a record valuation for a full-power FM signal.
Approximately 3,000 people sent letters to KFAC in the first few days; by February 9, a total of 15,000 letters were sent in support, including 500 letters from San Bernardino County alone.
After initial deals for all three fell through, the Sandusky stations were spun off to a separate entity run by another son of Raymond Miller.
By 1972, however, some listeners challenged KFAC's licenses over programming policies; the station settled the dispute by resuming publication of a program guide, seeking to tone down commercials, and increasing the variety of selections aired on the AM frequency.
The station celebrated 40 years of broadcasting classical music in January 1979 with a 12-hour station history, simulcast over the AM and FM frequencies.
After moving studios from Prudential Square to the former Villa Capri restaurant on Hollywood's Yucca Street in 1982, KFAC unveiled a large mural painted by Thomas Surlyz outside of the station building on Christmas 1983, showing their long-tenured airstaff cavorting with their respective favorite historical composers.
Classic Communications, Inc., a group of investors headed by Louise Heifetz—the daughter-in-law of violin virtuoso Jascha Heifetz—purchased the two stations from ASI on April 8, 1986 for $33.5 million; KFAC executive vice president/sales manager Edward Argow was also a part of the group and was named chief operating officer.
When the sale closed on December 17, program director Carl Princi announced his departure effective January 1, 1987, KUSC executive Robert Goldfarb was appointed as his replacement; while Heifetz did mention some program changes would take place, she denied KFAC would change format.
In a shocking move, however, Princi, Tom Dixon, Fred Crane, Martin Workman, Doug Ordunio and A. James Liska were all fired outright on December 31, 1986, along with most of the engineering staff.
After being put on the market in April 1988, KFAC was sold to Lotus Communications for $8.7 million on July 15.
At the end, just five percent of KFAC-AM-FM's combined total audience listened to the AM frequency, which is why it was sold off first; even though KFAC-FM was not on the market, the offer made by Evergreen was high enough that it prompted Classic Communications to consider selling.
Immediately, the news of the KFAC-FM sale in particular raised alarms from industry experts that the station was about to exit the classical format.
After months of speculation, Evergreen donated the music library from both stations, estimated at 50,000 recordings, to KUSC, along with a $35,000 check; Stanford University and the Los Angeles Public Library acquired KFAC's compact disc library, the majority of titles KUSC already held.
Mount Wilson FM Broadcasters' KKGO-FM had already announced the adoption of classical programming during the daytime starting on January 1990, with its existing jazz format being transferred to KKGO (540 AM).
Mount Wilson chairman Saul Levine expressed interest in acquiring the entire KFAC music library, but abandoned the offer when presented with a $1 million asking price; newly appointed general manager James de Castro—who joined the station in March from Evergreen's WLUP (97.9 FM)/Chicago and presided over the station's music library donations—denied seeking that amount, but that two appraisers valued the collection at upwards of $1.8 million.
Meanwhile, Evergreen hired Liz Kiley from KOST as program director for the replacement format; despite her background in adult contemporary and contemporary hit radio, Kiley ordered for the station several AOR-related syndicated radio specials.
While the station had prepared a final schedule of music programming for the entire month of September 1989, the switch ended up occurring mid-month, as had been anticipated.
At noon on September 20, 1989, KUSC, which had also placed advertising for its classical offerings on KFAC in the final days, simulcast the final hour of KFAC's classical programming.
The KFAC call letters, which were also donated to KUSC, were placed on one of their repeater stations in Santa Barbara from 1991 to 2004; that station is now KCRW repeater KDRW.
In order to facilitate their acquisition of KFAC and comply with then-existing FCC regulations, Lotus divested their existing Los Angeles AM property, KWKW (1300 AM) in Pasadena, to NetworksAmerica—headed by former KFAC station manager George Fritzinger—for $4.5 million; paperwork filed with the FCC showed Classic Communications purchasing KWKW from Lotus for the same dollar amount, then acting as the seller.
Lotus retained the KWKW call letters, all on and off-air personnel, programming and history; the original KWKW was Southern California's oldest Spanish-language outlet, which had been broadcasting since 1941, and had been owned by Lotus since 1962.
NetworksAmerica concurrently changed the former KWKW's call letters to KAZN and relaunched it as an Asian radio station—the first such radio station to operate in the Los Angeles area.
It also brought with it its sports coverage, which included Spanish-language broadcasts of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Raiders.
In 1995, KWKW experimented with a talk format but could not fully commit to it because of contracts relating to the hosts of its music-driven shows.
On August 11, 1997, KWKW left its Regional Mexican music format and became just the second Spanish-language all-talk station in the United States (KTNQ was the first).
It was the only Spanish-language radio station in the United States to send a crew to cover the 1998 visit of Pope John Paul II to Cuba.
In 1996, the station became the Spanish-language flagship of the Los Angeles Lakers in Kobe Bryant's rookie season, timing that was credited with helping the Lakers cement themselves as the most important sports franchise in the Los Angeles Hispanic market.
Lotus renamed it KWKU and converted it to a simulcast of KWKW's sports programming improving reception in Pomona and Ontario, in addition to serving as an overflow station for KWKW sports coverage; KWKU also exclusively carried broadcasts of the Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA.
The KWKU nominal main studio in Pomona would prove critical to getting KWKW back on the air after disaster struck on December 6, 2001.
A major fire at the Sunset Vine Tower, which was home to the Lotus cluster, caused extensive electrical damage to the building, which was deemed unsafe by fire officials.
105 computers, mixers and other equipment were carted out of the building, and John Cooper, the chief engineer for Lotus Los Angeles, drove them to Pomona, where the station was back on the air in six hours.
As a result of the extensive damage, Lotus relocated temporarily to the recently vacated KTNQ studios and later purchased a building near Universal Studios Hollywood to be fitted out for its operation.
On October 1, 2005, KWKW went full-time as a Spanish-language sports station, the flagship of a new radio network, ESPN Deportes Radio.
However, the station's relationship with the Dodgers—which had been on KWKW from 1958 to 1972 and then again beginning in 1986—ended after the 2007 season, when the franchise, citing its dislike of soccer preemptions that could have happened under the station's new deal to carry LA Galaxy games, opted to sign with KHJ.
KWKW also was the Spanish flagship of the Los Angeles Avengers of the Arena Football League until the team folded in April 2009.
2009 also saw KWKW add the other NBA team in Los Angeles, the Clippers, to its rights portfolio, carrying 48 games in the first season.
The station has also carried the FIFA World Cup; while coverage of the 2006 edition was in Spanish, KWKW carried most of ESPN Radio's English-language coverage of the 2010 edition, allowing ESPN Radio affiliates KSPN and KLAA to continue with their normal program schedules.
In 2018, the station contracted with Fútbol de Primera, the national soccer radio network that holds World Cup rights, to exclusively produce coverage for KWKW.
KWKW and Fútbol de Primera teamed up again in 2019 to broadcast the first ever Spanish-language U.S. radio coverage of the FIFA Women's World Cup.
In 2016, KWKW became the Spanish-language home of the Los Angeles Rams, heading up a multi-station network that also includes Lotus's Spanish sports outlet in Las Vegas, KENO.
Two years later, the station picked up 10 games of the Los Angeles Kings—the first time in 20 years that any of the NHL team's games were broadcast in Spanish.
When ESPN Deportes ended operations on September 8, 2019, KWKW affiliated with TUDN Radio, another Spanish-language sports network, airing its programming nights and weekends.
KWKW did not learn of the network's folding until it was publicly announced; general manager Jim Kalmenson said that network programming was largely supplemental to the station's local sports talk programming, which earned higher ratings.
KWKW broadcasts Spanish-language play-by-play of the Los Angeles Angels (MLB), Los Angeles Lakers (NBA), Los Angeles Kings (NHL), LA Galaxy (MLS) and Los Angeles Rams (National Football League).
In 2017, KWKW began broadcasting on an FM translator, K264CQ (100.7 FM), which has its transmitter mounted to one of KWKW's AM towers.
It was established in 1997, as an outgrowth on the annual Conference on Applied Statistics in Ireland (itself established in 1981), in order to better educate the public about statistics and its applications in society.
As well as sponsoring the conference, it organises presentations, exhibits, and prizes regarding statistics at the annual Irish Young Scientist's Exhibition.
Together with the Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, the Irish Statistical Association is one of two Irish statistical organisations recognised by the International Statistical Institute.
Past presidents have included Phil Boland (1997–1998), Sally McClean (1998–2000), Dennis Connife (2000–2002), John Haslett (2002–2004), Gilbert MacKenzie (2004–2006), John Hinde (2006–2008), John Connolly (2008–2010), Adele Marshall (2010–2012), John Newell (2012–2014), Brendan Murphy (2014–2016), and Gabrielle Kelly (2016–2019).
It developed in the 2000s primarily among British electronic musicians, and typically draws on British cultural sources from the 1940s to the 1970s, including library music, film and TV soundtracks, psychedelia, and public information films, often through the use of sampling.
Hauntology is associated with the UK record label Ghost Box, in addition to artists such as the Caretaker, Burial, and Philip Jeck.
Hauntology is most associated with a particular British electronic music trend, though it may apply to any art concerned with the aesthetics of the past.
Hauntological music draws on varied postwar cultural sources from the 1940s through the 1970s which lie outside the usual canon of popular music, including library music, film and television soundtracks, educational music, and the sonic experimentation of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, as well as electronic and folk music sources.
Also important is the appropriation of visual iconography from this earlier period, including graphic design elements of school textbooks, public information posters, and television idents.
Production often foregrounds the grain of the recording, including vinyl noise and tape hiss derived from the degraded musical or spoken word samples commonly used.
Artists often mix antique synthesiser tones, acoustic instruments, and digital techniques, as well as found sounds, abstract noise, and industrial drones.
In music, it was initially used as early as 1995 by critic Ian Penman in reference to the work of Tricky and Pole.
It was later widely appropriated in the mid-2000s by theorists Simon Reynolds and Mark Fisher to refer to the work of Philip Jeck, William Basinski, Burial, the Caretaker, and artists associated with the UK label Ghost Box.
Fisher stated that [W]hen cultural innovation has stalled and even gone backwards, [...] one function of hauntology is to keep insisting that there are futures beyond postmodernity’s terminal time.
When the present has given up on the future, we must listen for the relics of the future in the unactivated potentials of the past.
In the company's long history it has promoted a number of professional wrestling championships as part of their shows, using various divisional, special stipulations, and weight-class championships.
Over the years a total of nine championships have been used by CMLL but later either abandoned or control of the championship has been given to another promotion.
CMLL, as most lucha libre promotions, allows their wrestlers to bring championship belts to their shows even if they are not CMLL sanctioned, and have on occasion allowed those championships to be defended on CMLL shows, but they are not considered CMLL championships.
As professional wrestling championship is not won or lost by actual sports competition, but by a scripted ending to a match, determined by the bookers and match makers.
This can either be due to a storyline, or real life issues such as a champion suffering an injury being unable to defend the championship, or leaving the company.
Yaqui Joe was the first champion and the championship was soon defended on EMLL shows as well as on the Mexican independent circuit.
Over time EMLL gained almost total control of the championship as they grew to become Mexico's largest promotion at the time.
Blue Panther winning the championship July 27, 1992 signaled that the commission had granted AAA control of the championship and taken it away from CMLL.
In 1953, EMLL joined the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and the NWA officially recognized the middleweight championship as an NWA championship, renaming it the NWA World Middleweight Championship shortly after EMLL joined the NWA.
EMLL, and later CMLL promoted the NWA World Middleweight Championship as the highest ranking middleweight championship, relegating the Mexican National Middleweight Championship to a secondary status.
In 2010 CMLL gave up control of the championship to the NWA and introduced the NWA World Historic Middleweight Championship as its replacement.
In 1953, EMLL joined the NWA and the NWA officially recognized the welterweight championship as an NWA championship, renaming it the NWA World Welterweight Championship shortly after EMLL joined the NWA.
The company would continue to promote the championship until 1996, when it was brought to Japan to be one of eight championships that made up the New Japan Pro-Wrestling's J-Crown Championship.
In 2010 CMLL gave up control of the championship to the NWA and introduced the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship as its replacement.
sanctioned the Mexican National Tag Team Championship, with EMLL being the primary company controlling the championship at that point in time.
From that point on CMLL's tag team division featured the CMLL World Tag Team Championship, and later on the CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship.
The NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship was created in 1951 for one of the US based NWA territories, but by 1958 the championship was given to EMLL after joining the NWA.
The first Mexican based champion was Dory Dixon, who defeated Al Kashley on February 13, 1958 to win the vacant championship.
In 2010 CMLL gave up control of the championship to the NWA and introduced the NWA World Historic Light Heavyweight Championship as its replacement.
Pirata Morgan won the championship no later than October 1990, records are unclear if Morgan won a tournament or was awarded the championship.
Her initial reign lasted until sometime in November 1999 where La Diabólica won the title on a CMLL Japan show in Tokyo.
Oriental and Tsubasa had no successful title defenses in the 147 days they were the champions, losing to Masato Yakushiji and Naohiro Hoshikawa on a Osaka Pro show in Aomori, Japan.
CMLL introduced the LLA Azteca Championship as the main attraction of both the shows and the TV broadcasts on TV Azteca.
Over the following five years the LLA Azteca Championship changed hands seven times, with Atlantis ending up as the last champion.

The Santiago Bahá'í House of Worship or Santiago Bahá'í Temple is a Bahá'í House of Worship located in Santiago, Chile and opened in 2016.
In 1953, Shoghi Effendi, then head of the Bahá'í Faith, decided that a continental House of Worship for South America would be built in Chile.
Then, in late 2002, the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of Chile announced a competition for the design of the temple, to be built southeast of Santiago.
The construction phase started in November 2010, construction of the cast glass cladding commenced in October 2014, and construction was completed in October 2016.
The Bahá'í Faith teaches that a House of Worship should be a space for people of all religions to gather, reflect, and worship.
Anyone may enter the temple irrespective of religious background, sex, or other distinctions, as is the case with all Bahá'í Houses of Worship.
The Santiago Bahá'í House of Worship serves as the continental House of Worship for South America and it was the last continental House of Worship to be completed.
According to the Bahá’í World News Service, the Santiago House of Worship had received over 40,000 visitors by December 6, 2016.
Duy Nhất is a five-time WMF Muay Thai world champion and four-time SEA Games medalist in Muay Thai; in addition to having won medals at the IFMA World Muaythai Championships, Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games, Asian Martial Arts Games, Asian Indoor Games, and Asian Beach Games.
Being descended from the martial arts master who founded the Vietnamese martial art known as Tan Gia quyền, he began practicing martial arts from the age of 3.
Nguyễn Trần Duy Nhất made his first Muay Thai appearance at the 2009 Asian Martial Arts Games, competing in the men's featherweight division (54–57 kg).
On July 2, 2013, Nguyễn Trần Duy Nhất would defeat Daniiar Kashkaraev of Kyrgyzstan, 5–0, to win the gold medal in the men's featherweight category in Muay Thai at the 2013 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games.
On September 23, 2017, Nguyễn Trần Duy Nhất fought at the inaugural Asia Fighting Championship event, where he defeated Huang Guang Wan by second-round technical knockout.
On February 22, 2019, Duy Nhất made his lethwei debut at , where he defeated Pich Mtes Khmang by knockout at 2:13 of the first round.
His reference in one poem to the Holy Places being in the hands of the heathen places it after the fall of Jerusalem in 1244.
In another song he laments the failure of the princes of the Holy Roman Empire to unit behind one emperor, a clear reference to the Great Interregnum (1254–1273).
More recently he has been identified with Johannes Hawart the Elder of Strasbourg, who is mentioned in texts of 1289 and 1292 and died in 1302 in old age.
Reinhard Bleck suggests, on the basis of his crusade songs and his possible identification with Hawart of Strasbourg, that he was most likely from Alsace, the only part of Germany to see a major crusading movement in his time, culminating in the Crusade of 1267.
If Hawart's crusade songs were part of the propaganda and recruitment efforts surrounding this event, that puts their composition in 1266.
João da Sylveira Caldeira (28 June 1800 – 4 July 1854) was a Brazilian scientist who worked at the National Museum, where he set up the first chemical laboratory in 1824.
Caldeira was born in Rio de Janeiro and graduated in medicine from the University of Edinburgh and studied chemistry in France with Louis Nicolas Vauquelin (1763-1829) and André Laugier (1770-1832) and mineralogist René Just Haüy (1743-1822).
He taught chemistry at the military school and in 1823 he was appointed director of the National Museum where he set up a chemical laboratory in 1824.
Ardientes () is the title of a studio album released by Tierra Caliente group Beto y sus Canarios on July 19, 2005.
The company was formed by Pennsylvania lumbermen who were eager to exploit the untapped timber resources of the Missouri Ozarks to supply lumber, primarily used in construction, to meet the demand of U.S. westward expansion.
The lumber mill there grew to be the largest in the country at the turn of the century and Grandin's population peaked around 2,500 to 3,000.
While some of the buildings in Grandin were relocated, many of the remaining buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as part of the state's historic preservation plan which considered the MLM a significant technological and economic contributor to Missouri.
Williams, who was in the lumber business in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and his son-in-law, Elijah Bishop Grandin, who had prospered in the oil business in Tidioute, heard of the valuable timber in the Courtois Hills of Missouri and began purchasing land in Ripley County.
They purchased an additional in Carter County in the 1870s, for an average cost of $1/acre, and joined with two others from Tidioute, John Livingston Grandin (Elija's brother) and Jahu Hunter, a lumber and oilman, to form the company.
In addition to the inexpensive land, the investors thought the generally poor population would be eager to work for the company.
All four partners remained in Pennsylvania while John Barber White, a successful Tidioute mill operator, was hired to move to Missouri and run the company as its general manager.
In 1879 and 1880, White was able to buy land at Sheriff's sales for as little as five cents per acre.
The first lumber mill was built on the Black River in Wayne County and named White's Mill after the company's manager.
Lumber had to be moved to the Iron Mountain Railroad depot there first by teamsters with oxcarts and then loaded onto railcard for transport to market.
The company tried for many years to obtain direct rail access to the mill, but Iron Mountain refused to provide it.
In 1884, despite owning of timberland in the county, the mill was never able to utilize its capacity and was closed because of the transportation issue.
The company then turned its attention to Carter County, where its holding had grown to with additional acreage in adjacent Ripley County.
The railroad agreed to construct an spur from this line running from Willow Springs, Missouri to MLMs land in the Current River Valley in exchange for a guaranteed minimum amount of lumber shipments.
A five-year agreement between the companies in February 1887 specified that MLM would ship all its lumber going west of the Mississippi on the KFS&M or its affiliates.
Later that year, the Cape Girardeau Southwestern Railroad extended a line from the east allowing the mill to more directly supply eastern markets as well.
The Cape Girardeau line met the Current River line in Hunter, Missouri, about from the Current River terminus at the MLM mill site.
The location, near the upper Little Black River, was connected via river valley to other large timber holdings at Beaver Dam Creek.
A locomotive was brought to the site from Williamsville where it was dismantled and hauled by ox-teams the final along with other machinery and enough iron rails to build of logging railroad.
The town was planned by a company architect/engineer with a main street that had the company store, a hospital, hotel and other commercial buildings, surrounded by large lawns and decorative landscaping.
There were six million board feet of lumber in the Grandin yard waiting to be shipped when the railroad arrived in June 1888.
More mills, both saw and planing, were added in 1892 and in 1894 it was asserted, by at least one local newspaper, to be the largest mill (by production) in the country.
MLM used an extensive network of tram railways, built with standard gauge track, 300 log cars and 6 locomotives to move logs to the mill.
Using standard gauge allowed the log cars to be transported the final leg to the mill over the Current Railroad tracks.
Above Chicopee, where the Current River Railroad crossed the river, mules dragged logs to the bank where they were floated downstream in flotillas up to long.
All logs were left to soak in Toliver Pond for several days before sawing to remove dirt that would dull saw blades.
MLM lumber was sold from Ohio westward into the plains states, with most being sold west of the Mississippi; half of its 1901 production went to Kansas City lumber dealers.
In 1890, White became president of the Southern Lumber Manufactures' Association, which worked to negotiate better rates with the railroads, standardize lumber grading and prices.
A year later, White moved his office from the company headquarters in Grandin to Kansas City where other big lumber companies were located.
White consolidated the region's lumber industry in 1897 as leader of the Missouri Land and Lumber Exchange, a cartel which set production and prices.
The company was so powerful that it was able to raise lumber prices ten times in 1899 and control lumber prices nation-wide.
The company recruited skilled workers from other regions of the country that also had large timber operations and used mostly locals for unskilled work.
In addition to the headquarters building and other commercial and service structures in Grandin, MLM built homes that it rented to employees with families.
MLM constructed a sidewalk on the town main street in 1906 to aid commerce in the company stores, but it refused to add sidewalks on residential side streets.
The company also built the town's school and was involved in its operation, with company officials usually filling the role of school board president and approving the hiring of teachers and other important decisions.
From around 1890, MLM staffed a small hospital with doctors to maintain the health and productivity of its workers and their families.
Funded by a monthly fee ($0.75 for single workers and $1.25 for those with families, collected from each employee), the clinic provided unlimited health care.
The company even provided a small mobile health facility, moved on railroad flatcar, to take health care into the work camps in the forest.
The Grandin mill was ranked as the world's largest by capacity in 1900 & 1901, with the ability to produce 75 million board feet per year, although the most it ever produced was just under 66 million in 1901.
A fire in 1905 destroyed a secondary mill, after which the main mill started 24-hour operation, which used 90 rail cars per day of logs.
Missouri tax law discouraged this as it taxed cut and uncut land at the same rate; it was not profitable to replant and wait decades for a new crop.
The new owner of the KSF&M, the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway offered a reduced rate for lumber shipped from northwest Shannon County.
MLM built the Grandin and Northwestern Railroad to connect the Current Railroad to its logging camp in Shannon County, more that from Grandin.
Even with SLSF's discounted shipping rate, the shipping costs were still too high to ship logs from Shannon County to Grandin for processing, especially after lumber prices fell during the recession of 1907.
With the supply of nearby trees diminishing rapidly over the next several years, the last logs in the area were cut in 1909 and the mill was closed in 1910.
The company owners also owned timerland in Louisiana, and was considering buying land in the Pacific Northwest, however operations in other states were conducted with different companies including the Louisiana Central Lumber Company and Grandin Coast Lumber Company (of Seattle).
During the period the Missouri Lumber and Mining Company was active in Grandin, it contributed significantly both to the Missouri timber industry and the national economy, employing technology of a state and scale never before seen in the Ozark region.
The six houses in the historic district are listed under the reference number of the district, while the pond and other 23 buildings are listed under individual numbers.
However, all 30 places are described only in the MLM Historic Resources Multiple Property Submission for the thematic nomination; there are no further detailed nomination forms for any of the places.
This is a list of films which placed number one at the weekend box office for the year 2020 in Thailand.
MotoGP 3 (often stylized as MotoGP3) is a Grand Prix motorcycle racing video game developed and published by Namco for the PlayStation 2.
Released in 2003, it's the third game in the Namco series, which coincided with the THQ series for a number of years.
The new 990cc 4-stroke bikes are faster, but tend to be a bit of a handful while the 500cc 2-strokes are less faster but slightly better to handle.
MotoGP 3 has far more tracks than the previous game, with 15 real world courses which include Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, Paul Ricard, Motegi and Mugello.
There are also a combination of fantasy layouts which can be as simplistic as a straight line or as complex as having a cross road in it.
When starting the game up for the first time, as per usual with Namco MotoGP games, players will be allowed to create a custom rider.
The first is arcade, where the players can choose the bike they wish to ride as, number of laps, weather, difficulty and settings to do a race.
Season mode puts them into a season with any team (depending on difficulty) and the player races on a combination of circuits to try and win the championship.
Time Trial is like Arcade, except rather than racing against a number of opponents for a number of laps, they're racing against the clock to try to get the best time for as long as desired.
They range from beating another rider, riding between cones, setting a specific lap time in Time Trial or winning a race at a specific track.
Legends mode is, like Time Trial, similar to Arcade mode, except rather than facing riders from 2002, they face riders from past seasons, including the likes of Kevin Schwantz, Wayne Gardner and Mick Doohan to name a few.
He continued to compete in several go-kart series, including Bandoleros, INEX Legends, Thunder Roadsters and Legends Dirt Modified cars, winning multiple races and championships in the state of New York and at the World Karting Association Nationals in Pennsylvania at Beverrun.
Fatscher also raced at Charlotte Motor Speedway in 2014 in the winter and summer series, finishing first and fourth in points, respectively.
In 2017, he competed in events in both the CARS Series and the PASS Series, which included the Icebreaker at Thompson Speedway, where he finished second.
Later that year, he also ran the Snowflake 100 at Five Flags, a race which is held before the Snowball Derby.
Fatscher was without a ride for all of 2019, and did not run any races in ARCA or another racing series.
According to pictures on his website, he attends Elwood-John H. Glenn High School where he plays on the school's football and lacrosse teams, and is also an honors student at the school.
In late December 2019, Future and Drake were spotted in Atlanta, Georgia, filming a music video in a McDonald's location, leading to the belief that the two had a forthcoming collaboration.
During this period of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the African-American population of Montana fluctuated between 1000 and 1500 people.
Montana has the unique position of being entirely surrounded by states (Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota) that have never had an African-American newspaper.
The state's early Black press accordingly covered a particularly wide geographic sweep, and many of Montana's early African American papers carried news from communities in other Western states.
Greek cafés are also a singularly Australian phenomenon: the success of Arthur Comino’s fish shop in Sydney gave rise to a chain migration that saw hundreds of Greek migrants open oyster saloons across the country by 1900.
Adapting to market changes and food trends, Greek proprietors went on to run fish shops, fruit shops, ice cream parlours, sundae shops, milk bars, snack bars, confectioneries, and cafés that dotted the Australian landscape for much of the twentieth century.
Almost every town in Queensland, New South Wales, and country Victoria had a Greek café, and as many as ten operated in larger towns like Ipswich and Toowoomba during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s—the heyday of the Greek café.
Cafés were routinely open from 7am to midnight seven days a week, meals were cheap, portions were generous, and the menu was mostly the same countrywide.
The success of the Greek café is evident in the size of some establishments, the length of time some shops operated, the enterprise and resilience demonstrated by expansion and diversification, and the extent to which subsequent generations prospered in the adopted homeland of their parents and grandparents.
While names like the Paragon Café suggested proprietors’ origins, and names like Niagara Café exploited the popularity of American culture, others—the Regal Café, the Australia Café, etc.—were an attempt to align businesses with Australian sentiments.
Avapritinib, sold under the brand name Ayvakit, is a medication used for the treatment of tumors due to one specific rare mutation: It is specifically intended for adults with unresectable or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) that harbor a platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) exon 18 mutation.
Common side effects are edema (swelling), nausea, fatigue/asthenia (abnormal physical weakness or lack of energy), cognitive impairment, vomiting, decreased appetite, diarrhea, hair color changes, increased lacrimation (secretion of tears), abdominal pain, constipation, rash.
Avapritinib was approved based on the results from the Phase I NAVIGATOR clinical trial involving 43 patients with GIST harboring a PDGFRA exon 18 mutation, including 38 subjects with PDGFRA D842V mutation.
The trial measured how many subjects experienced complete or partial shrinkage (by a certain amount) of their tumors during treatment (overall response rate).
For subjects harboring a PDGFRA exon 18 mutation, the overall response rate was 84%, with 7% having a complete response and 77% having a partial response.
For the subgroup of subjects with PDGFRA D842V mutations, the overall response rate was 89%, with 8% having a complete response and 82% having a partial response.
While the median duration of response was not reached, 61% of the responding subjects with exon 18 mutations had a response lasting six months or longer (31% of subjects with an ongoing response were followed for less than six months).
Son of the painter Auguste Baud-Bovy, Daniel Baud-Bovy acquired most of his artistic and literary training in the symbolist milieu in Paris.
In 1913, he accomplished the first modern era ascent of Mount Olympus with guide Christos Kakkalos and his compatriot Frédéric Boissonnas.
Qasim was of Kashmiri descent and was born Qasem Jo in the Gozar Barana district of the Afghan capital Caubul during the late 1870s.
He was descended from a musical lineage, as his father, Satar Ju, was also a musician, as well as a Nawab.
Qasim's father immigrated, on the invitation of a friend, from his native Kashmir to Afghanistan to provide his musical services to the country's monarchy, and it is here where Qasim was born.
He also learned many languages, including Dari from his mother, Pashto from his teacher, Urdu from his father, and Arabic from the religious school he attended.
Music that Qasim composed in 1919 became used in a mujaheddin battle song which in turn became used in the national anthem of Afghanistan from 1992 to 2006.
Jean Adelin De Boë ( March 20, 1889, in Anderlecht (Brussels) - January 2, 1974, in Watermael-Boitsfort (Brussels)) was a typographer, militant anarchist, and anarcho-syndicalist.
On February 28, 1912, he was arrested for his activities at Bonnot Gang and was sentenced to 10 years of forced labor.
He joined the Youth Movement of the Belgian Worker's Party, it was a period that he became interested in libertarian politics.
Located inland on the Drava River, the River Battalion is a component of the Croatian Land Forces and was established in 2007.
In its current form, the River Battalion is the successor of three inland brown water naval units established during the Croatian War of Independence (1991-1995).
For the duration of the Croatian War of Independence, the Croatian river units were tasked reconnaissance, supply, and transport duties on the Drava and Danube Rivers for the Croatian armed forces.
In August 1991, boats and barges of the Croatian River Company assisted in the rescue of 1,500 civilians from Aljmas, Dalj and Erdut.
Born in Würzburg, Grieb completed a commercial apprenticeship from 1947 to 1950 and learned foreign languages at language institutes and as a guest student at the University of Würzburg.
From 2000 to 2008 he was its vice-president, and in 2007 he was awarded the Cross of Honour of the Blumenorden for this.
, also known by its internal designation ZTF09k5, is a near-Earth asteroid discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility on 4 January 2020.
It is the first asteroid discovered to have an orbit completely within Venus's orbit, and is thus the first and only known member of the intra-Venusian Vatira population of Atira-class asteroids.
was discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey at the Palomar Observatory on 4 January 2020, by astronomers Bryce Bolin, Frank Masci, and Quanzhi Ye.
The discovery formed part of a campaign for detecting interior-Earth asteroids (Atiras) using the wide-field ZTF camera on the 1.22-meter Samuel Oschin telescope at the Palomar Observatory.
The detection of such objects is difficult due to their close proximity to the Sun: asteroids within the orbit of Venus never reach solar elongations greater than 47 degrees, meaning that they are only observable during twilight as the Sun is below the Earth's horizon.
Because of this, intra-Venusian asteroids could only be observed within a short time frame, hence why the ZTF camera was used since it can effectively detect transient objects.
The discovery of was reported by astronomer Bryce Bolin, and was subsequently listed on the Minor Planet Center's near-Earth object confirmation page (NEOCP) on 4 January 2020.
The discovery of the asteroid was then formally announced in a Minor Planet Electronic Circular issued by the MPC on 8 January 2020.
Prior to the discovery of , co-discoverer Quanzhi Ye and colleagues had predicted in December 2019 that the ZTF would detect its first Vatira asteroid within Venus's orbit shortly after the discoveries of several small-aphelion asteroids including and .
Given the difficulty of detecting such asteroids at small solar elongations, they estimated that at least one additional Vatira asteroid will be detected by the ZTF.
It was then given the provisional designation by the MPC on 8 January 2020, after follow up observations have sufficiently determined its orbit.
Due to its still short observation arc and uncertain orbit, the object has yet not been issued a minor planet number by the MPC.
Once the orbit of has been sufficiently determined such that it will be given a minor planet number, it will be eligible for naming.
Being the prototype of the informally named Vatira class, it will be given a name that will be used to refer to this newly confirmed population.
is formally classified as an Atira asteroid by the Minor Planet Center due it having an orbit within that of Earth.
However, unlike previously known Atira asteroids, 's orbit is contained within that of Venus, thus it falls into the proposed category of Vatira asteroids—a subclass of Atira asteroids with aphelion distances less than Venus's perihelion distance (hence the name: a portmanteau of 'Venus' and 'Atira').
is technically classified as a near-Earth object under the Atira classification, though the asteroid's minimum orbit intersection distance from Earth is 0.346 AU.
's orbit is close to a 3:2 mean-motion orbital resonance with Venus, meaning that completes approximately three orbits for every two orbits completed by Venus.
The orbit of is moderately eccentric, as it approaches only 0.458 AU from the Sun at perihelion, just within Mercury's aphelion distance of 0.467 AU.
has a smaller orbital eccentricity and inclination compared to the generally expected values for typical Vatira asteroids, which were predicted to have an eccentricity around 0.4 and an inclination around 25 degrees.
had likely originated from the main asteroid belt, where its orbit was locked in a secular resonance that caused its orbital eccentricity to gradually increase over time, evolving onto an Earth-crossing orbit.
Subsequent close encounters with Earth, Venus, and Mercury resulted in gravitational perturbations of the asteroid's orbit, reducing its momentum and causing it to orbit closer to the Sun.
Near-Earth asteroids transitioning into the Vatira region often have unstable, short-term orbits due to frequent gravitational perturbations by Venus and Mercury.
, on the other hand, rarely crosses the orbits of Mercury and Venus based on its nominal orbit, and is also close to a 3:2 mean-motion resonance with Venus.
These factors prevent close encounters with either planet that would otherwise perturb 's orbit, thus it is expected to be relatively stable on the order of several millions of years.
is thought to have been once locked in a 3:2 mean-motion resonance with Venus before being kicked out of the resonance by Mercury.
Dynamical modeling of 's orbit show that the mostly likely scenario for its orbital evolution is that 's orbit will oscillate for several millions of years before gravitational perturbations lead to the asteroid's eventual collision with a planet, most likely Venus.
At 140 thousand years from the present, 's aphelion distance will exceed Venus's perihelion distance, as a result of the combined effects of the Kozai resonance and gravitational perturbations.
Within the Vatira region, the Kozai resonance causes the orbital inclinations and eccentricities of asteroids to oscillate over several millions of years.
As a result, Vatira asteroids can become Atira-class asteroids and vice versa over time, and can cross the orbits of Mercury and Venus during these orbital oscillations.
The Kozai resonance often disrupts the orbits of Vatira asteroids, albeit it can also lead to orbital stability for some unperturbed Vatira asteroids.
At about 1.2 million years from the present, will leave the Vatira region and will transition onto a Mercury-crossing orbit, with its perihelion oscillating around Mercury's aphelion distance before decoupling from the planet's orbit at about 2.1 million years.
After decoupling from Mercury's orbit, was shown to oscillate between an Atira-type orbit (Q < 0.983 AU) and an Earth-crossing Aten-type orbit (Q > 0.983 AU), in which the asteroid's aphelion oscillates around Earth's perihelion distance of 0.983 AU.
About 740 thousand years afterward, will likely return to its Mercury-crossing orbit, though gravitational perturbations by Mercury and Venus will scatter it onto an Earth-crossing orbit once more before colliding with either planet.

Meadows Games was a developer and manufacturer of coin-operated video games established by Harry Kurek as a subsidiary of his contract manufacturing company, Meadows Manufacturing, in 1974.
The Howick Youth Council (HYC) is a youth voice organisation covering the region of the Howick Local Board in Auckland, New Zealand.
Operating in the suburbs of Howick, Pakuranga, Botany Downs and Ormiston, the group represents the youth in the population of 140,000 people living in the boundaries of the Howick Local Board.
The organisation was created by the Howick Local Board shortly following the board's first meeting, after the 2010 supercity amalgamation and formation of Auckland Council, with the group being founded in August 2011.
The group has helped organise a variety of events including a youth film festival, youth awards, beach clean-up, and charity concert.
Patrick Newell (born January 18, 1996) is an American professional ice hockey player currently playing for the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect to the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL).
As a student at Oak Park High School, Newell asked his parents permission to move to Alaska to play competitive major junior ice hockey.
There, he joined the Fairbanks Ice Dogs of the North American Hockey League and was later traded to the Indiana Ice of the United States Hockey League.
With the Ice, he recorded four goals and seven points in 12 playoffs games to help the team win the USHL Clark Cup championship.
During his first season with the Vees, Newell helped the team win the BCHL playoffs and reach the RBC Cup semifinals, where he was awarded the Tubby Schmaltz Trophy.
In his sophomore season, he led the Huskies with 20 assists and was a recipient of the a 2017 All-NCHC Academic Award.
He was named the NCHC Player of the Week for the first time on October 15, after recording five points in a two games against Alaska Nanooks.
Cloud Huskies ranked first in their division with Newell recording 18 goals for a total of 38 points through 32 games.
On March 14, 2019, he was named NCHC Forward of the Year for leading the conference in both goals and points.
Later, Newell was named to the 2018-19 All-USCHO First Team, selected as a Hobey Baker Award Top 10 Finalist alongside teammate Jimmy Schuldt, and chosen for the CM/AHCA All-America First Team.

The Forgotten Army - Azaadi Ke Liye is a web television series which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on 24 January 2020.
The series is directed by Kabir Khan, the series is based on true events about the men and women in the Indian National Army (INA) led by Subhash Chandra Bose.
The Forgotten Army – Azaadi Ke Liye, is based on the true story of Indian soldiers who marched towards the capital, with the war cry 'Challo Dilli', to free their country from the reign of the British.
The Indian National Army (INA), which was forged out of British defeat in Singapore during WWII, was led by the charismatic Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and had the first women’s infantry regiment since the Russian units of 1917-1918.
While these soldiers (men and women) fought against all odds and against the British army to free India, their struggle and story somehow got lost and they became 'the forgotten army'.
With the love story between two soldiers - Sodhi and Maya at the heart of it, the series raises several questions about identity, independence and the idea of motherland and the cost of freedom.

Zealand Pharma A/S is a Danish biotechnology research company, which designs and develops peptide-based medicines, mainly focusing on metabolic diseases like diabetes and obesity.
As it was founded, it was a biopharmaceutical company focusing on design and development of peptide-based medicines, which would be brought to the market through partnerships with other multinational pharmaceutical companies.
In 2005 Zealand Pharma tried to be listed on the stock exchange, but had to resign for want of interest from investors.
In 2010 they finally succeeded in being listed, and the stocks are now traded at the Copenhagen Stock Exchange (NASDAQ OMX København).
On January 15, 2015, Britt Meelby Jensen acquired the position as CEO from David Solomon, who had led the company during the years 2008-2014.
Zealand Pharma does not promote and sell products in the market themselves, however, they form partnerships with several international pharmaceutical companies, who are responsible for placing the products on the market.
Zealand Pharma is mostly known and recognized for the diabetes medication Lyxumia, which has been developed in collaboration with the French pharmaceutical company Sanofi.
Since 2014, Zealand Pharma has collaborated with the coronary care unit at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen developing the medication Danegaptid, which should serve the purpose of preventing injuries in the tissue of the heart, frequently seen among angioplasty patients.
Because of the acquisition of the Canadian Encycle Therapeutics, Zealand Pharma now also possesses the right to develop and sell the pre-clinical candidate medication ET3764, which is also being developed for the treatment of diseases of the alimentary tract.

He was a leading member of the Vrishni heroes, and may well have been an ancient historical rulers in the region of Mathura.
The cult of Saṃkarṣaṇa with that of Vāsudeva is historically one of the earliest forms of personal deity worship in India, attested from around the 4th century BCE.
The cult of Vāsudeva and Saṃkarṣaṇa was one of the major independent cults, together with the cults of Narayana, Shri and Lakshmi, which later coalesced to form Vishnuism.
According to the Vaishnavite doctrine of the avatars, Vishnu takes various forms to rescue the world, and Vāsudeva as well as Saṃkarṣaṇa became understood as some of these forms, and some of the most popular ones.
This process lasted from the 4th century BCE when Vāsudeva and Saṃkarṣaṇa were independent deities, to the 4th century CE, when Vishnu became much more prominent as the central deity of an integrated Vaishnavite cult, with Vāsudeva and Saṃkarṣaṇa now only some of his manifestations.
In epic and Puranic lore Saṃkarṣaṇa was also known by the names of Rama, Baladeva, Balarama, Rauhineya or Halayudha, and is presented as the elder brother of Vāsudeva.
Initially, Saṃkarṣaṇa seems to hold precedence over his younger brother Vāsudeva, as he appears on the obverse on the coinage of king Agathocles of Bactria (circa 190-180 BCE), and usually first in the naming order as in the Ghosundi inscription.
The cult of Vāsudeva and Saṃkarṣaṇa may have evolved from the worship of a historical figure belonging to the Vrishni clan in the region of Mathura.
It is thought that the hero deity Saṃkarṣaṇa may have evolved into a Vaishnavite deity through a step-by-step process: 1) deification of the Vrishni heroes, of whom Vāduseva and Saṃkarṣaṇa were the leaders 2) association with the God Narayana-Vishnu 3) incorporation into the Vyuha concept of successive emanations of the God.
The name of Samkarsana first appears in epigraphy in the Nanaghat cave inscriptions and the Hathibada Ghosundi Inscriptions, both dated to the 1st century BCE.
Various sculptures and pillar capitals were found near the Heliodorus pillar in Besnagar, and it is thought they were dedicated to Vāsudeva's kinsmen, otherwise known as the Vrishni heroes and objects of the Bhagavata cult.
The presence of these pillar capitals, found near the Heliodorus pillar, suggests that the Bhagavata cult, although centered around the figures of Vāsudeva and Samkarsana, may also have involved the worship of other Vrishni deities.
Saṃkarṣaṇa has been compared to the Greek god Dionysos, son of Zeus, as both are associated with the plough and with wine, as well as a liking for wrestling and gourmet food.
Early on, the cult of Smarkasana is associated with the abuse of wine, and the Bacchanalian features of the cult of Dionysus are also found in the cult of Saṃkarṣaṇa.
The Mahabharata mentions the Bacchanalian orgies of Baladeva, another name of Smarkasana, and he is often depicted holding a cup in an inebriated state.
At Chilas II archeological site dated to the first half of 1st-century CE in northwest Pakistan, near the Afghanistan border, are engraved two males along with many Buddhist images nearby.
The back of the relief is carved with the branches of a Kadamba tree, symbolically showing the relationship being the different deities.
Saṃkarṣaṇa appears prominently in a relief from Kondamotu, Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh, dating to the 4th century CE, which shows the Vrishni heroes standing in genealogical order around Narasimha.
Then follow Pradyumna, holding a bow and an arrow, Samba, holding a wine goblet, and Aniruddha, holding a sword and a shield.
Saṃkarṣaṇa appears as a lion in some of the Caturvyūha statues (the Bhita statue), where he is an assistant to Vāsudeva, and in the Vaikuntha Chaturmurti when his lion's head protrudes from the side of Vishnu's head.

The name Fullerene comes from another type of acceptor-molecule which was used as the main acceptor material for bulk heterojunction Organic solar cells.
There are, however, still many improvements to make on the design of the SMAs in order become profitable to use in OSCs.
Recent research on designing NFA-OSCs showed an efficiency of 15% with a so-called tandem solar cell which made use of Non-fullerene acceptors as well as fullerene acceptors.
With a good chance that researchers will be able to boost this percentage up to 18%, it is clear that NFA-OSCs have a great potential in becoming a profitable photovoltaic in commercial application.
They have more structural degrees of freedom, allowing higher electron affinity tunability; they absorb incidental visible-NIR radiation more strongly; they are more stable; they are compatible with donor polymers and they are (in general) easier to synthesize.
One of the downsides of using SMAs is the fact that, under atmospheric conditions, they tend to engage in disordered (anisotropic) states as a result of their planar structures.
Another downside to research on SMA usage is the profound scala of possibilities of donor-acceptor pairs that scientists are challenged to induce.
After electromagnetic absorption and exciton formation in the electron donor polymer, the excited electron is moved towards the acceptor conduction band (LUMO) as a result of the lower energy value than the donor LUMO.
This process is called a charge separation, and the corresponding energy value formula_1 satisfies formula_2 where CS denotes charge separation, A denotes the acceptor and D denotes the donor molecule.
Along with the Coulombic potential that needs to be surpassed, the maximum energy obtained from the process is defined as the Charge Transfer energy, formula_3.
The difference between the optical excitation energy (the optical band gap energy, formula_4) and the charge transfer energy is the driving force of the system.
An advantage of NF-OSCs over current fullerene-based OSCs is that the SMAs used are relatively compatible with donors, as a result of their electronic affinity tunability.
This results in low potential spillage, formula_5, which depends explicitly on the value of the driving force, along with radiative and non-radiative losses during the current induction process.
The result is a high open-circuit voltage formula_7 of the solar cell compared to fullerene counterparts, with reports of values as high as 1.1V.
However, the diminished charge separation energy cost negatively influences the tendency of excited electrons in the donor conduction band to transport to the acceptor LUMO as it is less preferred energetically.
It also immediately creates a bottleneck because of the huge amount of possibilities there are which could be applied as an SMA.
A wide variety of SMAs are tested to be a successful acceptor, but two classes of SMAs have proven to give the best results concerning Power Conversion Efficiency (PCE) and have made the greatest attribute to the recent development in NFA-OSCs.
Rylene diimides are industrial dyes and can be divided into, once again, two subclasses: Perylene Diimides (PDIs) and Naphthalene Diimides (NDIs).
Rylene diimides consist of a planar rylene framework and numerous constructions can be made by attaching certain subgroups and by using more PDI molecules in one acceptor.
Challenges that must be faced by designing and improving Rylene diimides based OSCs are mainly concerned by synthesis of PDIs because the planar structure of the molecule makes that it tends to aggregate into a crystal structure.
This greatly enhances the domain size, larger than the preferred 20 nm, in the bulk heterojunction which leads to a lower charge transport ability.
Researchers have tried to reduce this aggregation by three structure adaptions, all focused on enhancing the mobility of Rylene diimides molecules.
For all three possible ways, an example molecule is shown in the figure below.These derivatives are examples of acceptor-molecules which were tested and assessed in OSCs for their performance and PCE.
In current research, rylene diimides (for small band-gap energy donors) and FREAs (for large band-gap energy donors) have shown the most potential for becoming commercially viable solar cell materials for bulk heterojunction blend cells.
Wide band gap donors are known to enhance voltage and diminish current density, but in combination with FREAs both values can be relatively high.
First of all, the PCE should be increased to at least 15% since this is the minimal value for commercial application.
PCEs can be increased by designing even better NFAs, for instance, on the level of electron mobility NFAs still can increase a lot compared to FAs ( formula_13 for the best NFAs compared to formula_14 for the best FAs).
Improvements can also be made in the following aspects: better donor matching, tandem constructions, BHJ morphology and domain purity of the donor and acceptor.
Besides these theoretical research aspects, implementation in a life size commercial solar cell also brings a lot of challenges, such as easy and sustainable device fabrication methods and long-term stability of the organic compounds.
On all of these areas, NFA-OSCs show great potential but it will take a lot of research before a solid non-fullerene acceptor-organic solar cell can compete with inorganic solar cells.

Although underage, the group was permitted to perform at clubs like the Whirlaway, the Red Top, and the Manhattan Club, backed by the house band which was often Oliver Sain, Little Milton or James DeShay.
The Arabians joined the Jules Carlos Revue which featured a bevy of talent plying behind Benny Sharp and the Zorros of Rhythm.
In 1962, while performing with King at Club Caravan (formerly Early Bird Lounge), Jimmy Thomas introduced Johnson and Guy to bandleader Ike Turner who asked Johnson and Guy to join the Ike & Tina Turner Revue.
Johnson accepted Turner's offer, but he learned that he was being tested for a few weeks, and Turner only intended on keeping only one of them.
Turner chose Guy, but one night when the revue was performing at the Manhattan Club, the crowd chanted for Johnson so he was rehired.
The revue toured throughout the country eleven months out of the year and performed four to seven days of the week.
In 1986, former Ikette Robbie Montgomery reached out to him to tour Europe with several Kings of Rhythm alumni, including Clayton Love, Billy Gayles, Erskine Oglesby, and Oliver Sain as the St. Louis Kings of Rhythm.

The camp is used by Kenyan and U.S. troops and is located near Manda Bay on the mainland of Lamu County, Kenya.
Fewer than 20 al-Shabaab militants assaulted Camp Simba, which was home to around 100 US personnel along with an undisclosed number of Kenyan troops.
The timing of the attack coincided with recent Iranian threats of retaliation to target US troops in response to the US assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in the 2020 Baghdad International Airport airstrike.
The raid began with an al-Shabaab attack on the Manda Air Strip targeting a taxiing Havilland Dash 8 surveillance plane with RPGs.
Two American contractors flying for L3 Technologies, employed by the US Department of Defense, were killed in this initial attack and a third injured.
A US army soldier acting as air traffic controller from a truck was killed in the ensuing gunfight that erupted after the attack on the plane.
In the raid, al-Shabaab targeted vehicles and aircraft at the airstrip with RPGs, and six aircraft and land vehicles were either destroyed or damaged, along with several fuel tankers.
The Havilland Dash 8 was in use as a spy plane, and was configured for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions in the region.
Along with claiming to have inflicted 40 casualties on US forces, al-Shabaab claimed to have killed US General Stephen J. Townsend in their raid, however, this claim was dismissed by United States Africa Command (AFRICOM).
In response to the raid, on 9 January AFRICOM sent two of its senior military officers to oversee a formal investigation.

Jeffers uses the metaphor of a mold and a molten mass to signify the vulgar American culture of his day and the corrupt American people.
He uses the metaphor of a flower that gives way to a fruit, which in turn decays and becomes part of the soil.
Jeffers then addresses his twin sons and wishes for them to keep a distance from the corrupt urban areas, which are the centers of the decay.
As politics and history are part of a natural process of growth and decay, the task for the human individual becomes to find a comprehensive way to regard this process.
The aloofness Jeffers recommends to his sons ties in with his philosophy of Inhumanism, which he would codify in the 1940s.
The same naturalizing aloofness, applied in the original poem to the exuberance and decadence of the Jazz Age, is here targeted at the Great Depression and the approaching war, which has led to charges of cruelty and fascist sympathies.

William George Murray (1884 – 2 December 1975) was a constable in the Northern Territory Police force who, in 1928, led a series of punitive expeditions against Aboriginal Australians that became known as the Coniston massacre.
In 1914, at the age of thirty, Murray enlisted as a soldier in the First Australian Imperial Force to fight in World War I.
He also recounted the occasions in which he was nearly killed and described an incident in which he was shot in the shoulder.
He remained at the front until the end of the war and was wounded twice more and was also treated for gonorrhoea.
In April 1919, Murray joined the Northern Territory Police as a constable and was posted to the very remote Ranken River police station on the Barkly Tableland.
He was involved in capturing Aboriginal Australians who were killing the stock of Anglo-Australians who ran cattle stations in the region.
Murray would either chain those he captured and escort them for judicial hearings in larger settlements such as Alice Springs or he would hand out summary punishment as he saw fit.
In 1926, Murray was transferred to the Barrow Creek police station where he was given the additional title of Protector of Aborigines for the immediate region around Barrow Creek.
In August 1928, Murray was ordered to investigate the killing of a white man named Fred Brooks who was bludgeoned to death by several Aboriginal people at a waterhole to the west of Coniston cattle station near the modern-day settlement of Yuendumu.
In early September, Murray went on another police mission to arrest Aboriginal cattle killers around the Coniston and Barrow Creek areas.
An unknown number of Aboriginal people were possibly killed during this expedition with a further two Aboriginal prisoners, named Ned and Barney, taken to Alice Springs.
From late September until mid October, Murray conducted a third punitive expedition to the north of Coniston along the Lander and Hanson Rivers.
Officially, 31 men, women and children were killed during this police operation, although analysis of the existing documentation and surviving Aboriginal testimonies indicate that somewhere between 100 and 200 people were shot dead.
Of the four Aboriginal prisoners, Ned and Barney were sentenced at Alice Springs and served one month in the jail there for the spearing of cattle.
At this trial, conducted in November 1928, Murray freely gave evidence to the presiding judge that he shot a large number of Aboriginals during the operation, that he shot to kill and shot dead wounded Aboriginals.
Murray's admissions in court however led to widespread publicity about the massacres and a governmental Board of Inquiry was set up to investigate the actions of constable Murray.
The Board of Inquiry which ran from late December 1928 until the end of January 1929 was a whitewash set up to protect Murray and the colonial system in the Northern Territory.
The board found that Murray and the other perpetrators of the massacres acted in self defence and that the shootings were justified.
It found that the Aboriginals themselves were to blame and that more police patrols would be required to instil control upon the surviving Indigenous population.
In February 1929, he was ordered to track down an Aboriginal man named Willaberta Jack who had shot dead a white man named Harry Henty.
He took prospecting leases out for himself and also demanded Aboriginal people bring him samples of gold in return for the government rations that he was supposed to hand out to them.
There is also a suggestion that Murray participated in another massacre or mass poisoning of Aboriginal Australians at the nearby Sandover River while he was posted at Arltunga.
In 1933, he was interviewed at Arltunga by the famous novelist Ernestine Hill where he again boasted of the various ways he had killed numerous Aboriginals.
In 1940, at the age of 56, he was transferred to Darwin, where he remained a constable in the police force until 1945.
In this year his title of Protector of Aborigines was terminated and he left the Northern Territory to retire to Adelaide in the state of South Australia.
When he retired to Adelaide, Murray worked as a caretaker at the Malvern Methodist Church in the Adelaide suburb of St Peters.
He is buried at the Centennial Park Cemetery in the Adelaide suburb of Pasadena and his grave is marked with an honourable ANZAC veteran's plaque.
The town of Luokė was first mentioned in historical sources when King Jogaila and Grand Duke Vytautas christianized Samogitia in 1413 and promised to build eight churches, including one in Luokė.
It is assumed that the church was built soon after the christianization, though the first mention of a priest in Luokė dates only to 1466.
Priest recorded a romantic story that Vytautas built the first church on , a hill located near Luokė that was considered sacred in the local pagan faith.
Kęsgaila's benefice, confirmed by Alexander Jagiellon in 1493, in addition to granting land, allowed the parish to maintain five inns that were exempt from taxes.
In 1541, parson Jonas Andriejus Valantinas, who was a royal physician and was confirmed as parson of Luokė by Pope Paul III when requested by Sigismund I the Old, asked to remove the limits on the number of inns that the parish could keep.
According to Motiejus Valančius, Bishop Merkelis Giedraitis established three deaneries (in Virbalis, Viduklė, and Luokė) in 1587, but documents mentioning deaneries in the diocese date only from 1619–1620.
After the uprising was suppressed by the Tsarist authorities, four priests from Luokė were exiled to Siberia and the parish school was closed.

In the first years of Christianity in Lithuania, there were no special educational institutions for priests, and the pastoral work was often done by foreigners, mostly Polish.
Medininkai diocese wanted to overcome the shortage of priests and in 1469 established a school by the cathedral for future priests of the diocese.
The seminary in Varniai opened only in 1623 when thanks to Stanislovas Kiška two separate wooden buildings were built for the purpose.
They were erected upon a hill, where previously pagan rituals had taken place, later two Medininkai (Samogitian) diocese cathedrals were built there.
In 1770 a whole seminary palace was built, where future priests studied until 1864, when by the decision of Russian Czar, the seminary was relocated to Kaunas.
During the period from 1845 to 1850 the future bishop who was appointed as the rector of the Samogitian seminary began a sobriety movement, took care in educating children and adults, and organised the distribution of Lithuanian books.
By Resolution of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania in 1999 the palace was passed on to the Samogitian diocese museum.
Next to the palace, the M. Valančius garden has survived – the garden planted by the bishop himself, an alley of trees and a pond.
It is said, that it was specifically here that he meditated, thought and communicated with the rebels, thus the garden is considered a significant object of cultural heritage.

The IBO Diploma Program has been on offer at Narrabundah College for 25 years, being the first IBO accredited school and college in Australia.
The IB Middle Years Program is offered at Telopea Park High School while the Primary Years Program is offered at Red Hill School for every student from kindergarten to year 6.
The school offers a range of innovative courses, including language programs, an Indigenous Action Group, specialist music courses (including West African drumming) and a variety of enrichment programs.
Specialist French, Mandarin and library programs are explicitly taught, while specialist learner-assistance English as a second language is also provided for students in need.
The school's choir and bands perform at assemblies throughout the year and also at public functions, including Floriade, local retirement villages and nursing homes.
Red Hill Preschool and Griffith Preschool are managed by Red Hill School and delivers the IB inquiry program and a play-based developmental curriculum, underpinned by the Early Years Learning Framework.

By 1994, the preschool was officially recognised by the French Ministry of Education (Homologation) and purchased the land and buildings it currently occupies in 2012.
The Weight of Chains 3 is a 2019 Canadian documentary film, which the filmakers claim, details how the military-industrial complex, big business and political interest groups endanger peoples’ health and very existence, focusing on Serbia.
The film starts by detailing how and why the United States Army started using depleted uranium in its munitions, against the backdrop of nuclear weapons testing in the Pacific and the nuclear arms race during the Cold War.
It then discusses the effects of US use of depleted uranium during the Gulf War in Iraq and Kuwait and presents this as a trial run before the use of depleted uranium in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1995 and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999.
Through interviews with Serbian and Italian military and medical experts, the film suggests that NATO knowingly turned the Balkans into an experimental laboratory in which KFOR soldiers and civilian populations were human guinea pigs.
The documentary moves on to assess the potential threat coming from genetically modified organisms, small hydro plants, air pollution and climate change, advocating that the neoliberal system is to blame for the ongoing destruction of the environment.
The film gives a brief history of how that system was imposed in Serbia, through interviews with current government and opposition representatives, as well as economic experts.
Detailing the rise of Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić and several of his government's affairs, the film suggests that change is no longer a matter of choice, but a question of survival.
Malagurski filed a complaint with the Serbian Ministry of Culture, claiming that the reasons given for funding refusal were illegal and went against the rules and regulations for funding film projects.
The Albanian demonstrators were chanting in favor of the Kosovo Liberation Army, one Albanian protester was arrested by the NYPD, while Malagurski received a police escort to the cinema, after which he dedicated the premiere to the NYPD.
The film is set to have its Serbian premiere at the Belgrade DOK Film Festival on February 2, 2020, after which it will be screened in cinemas in several cities across Serbia, including Novi Sad, Kragujevac, and Niš.
Royalstar or Rongshida () is a Chinese brand of home appliances owned by the Hefei State-owned Assets Management Holdings Co., Ltd, a branch of Hefei State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC).
Since the 21 century, Rongshida has experienced ups and downs and lost its leading position in the Chinese market of major appliances.
Rongshida grew out of the Hardware & Iron Foundry of Hefei West District, which was founded in 1954 in Hefei, Anhui.
In 1986, Chen Rongzhen took over the company as the factory director and reformed the producing system of the factory, which turned around the gloomy situation caused by poor operation of that time.
On 8 October 1992, the factory founded a joint venture named Rongshida Electric Co, Ltd. with Hongkong Fengshida Investment Co, Ltd. and Anhui Import & Export Company.
In cooperation with the Japanese company Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd., Rongshida founded a joint venture named Hefei Rongshida Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd..
In order to expand the category of its products, Rongshida Group founded another six joint ventures with Maytag Corporation and Hong Kong ECRIEE Electronics Co., Ltd..
After its cancellation, Rongshida brand was marginalized under the control of Midea Group, which led to its constantly declining market shares.
Currently, Whirlpool China has the right to label its refrigerators, washing machines and microwave ovens with the four brands belonging to Rongshida: Whirlpool, Sanyo, DIQUA and Rongshida.
Its actual business entity is Zhongshan Nca Home Devices Co., Ltd., which mainly produces kitchen hoods, gas stoves, gas water heaters and cupboards.
Like other members of the Sclerodactylidae family, members of Eupentacta are characterised by the complex ring of ossicles they have near the anterior end.

Loftus was formed out of a proposal by an A&M Records representative to combine the bands Red Red Meat and Rex into a group that would release an experimental album for an A&M subsidiary Treat and Release.
A selection of members from both bands recorded with Bundy K. Brown and Brian Deck at the recording studio of Ben Massarella of Perishable Records in August and September 1996.
Treat and Release eventually folded before the album was issued, and the recordings were reacquired by Massarella and Tim Rutili, members of Red Red Meat (which disbanded in 1997).
The album was a modest financial success for the label, which led to their issuing side projects from several of Loftus's members.
The group did not issue any further material under this name, but the album saw a vinyl reissue on Jealous Butcher Records in 2013.
The original CD issue on Perishable and the vinyl reissue on Jealous Butcher were both encased in sandpaper sleeves, which were meant to abrade and damage the covers of the records they sit next to on a shelf.
Today operated by Thames Water, it is located on the western side of Norman Road, approximately south west of Greenwich town centre, on the eastern bank of Deptford Creek, around south of its confluence with the River Thames.
A Northern Outfall Sewer intercepted flows north of the river, while the Southern Outfall Sewer took flows south of the Thames.
The pumping station raised sewage flows so that it could then flow under Greenwich, Woolwich, Plumstead and across Erith marshes to a treatment plant at Crossness.
Deptford was the south London equivalent of Abbey Mills pumping station in West Ham, which performed a similar function on the Northern Outfall Sewer.
The original Deptford pumping station building (now a Grade II listed building) was built in London stock brick in an Italianate style, and comprised two engine houses with a linking boiler house.
Over 150 years later, the pumping station site will be the location of Greenwich pumping station, part of the Thames Tideway Scheme, currently under construction, and intended to supersede Bazalgette's system.
The stations have staircases, elevators and escalators from the street level to the platform level which provide easy and comfortable access.
Also, operation panels inside the elevators are installed at a level that can be conveniently operated by all passengers, including differently-abled and elderly citizens.
The franchise is owned and operated by Vince Covino, a father who wanted to create a business that allowed families to spend more quality time together.
Prior to the launch of SeaQuest, the Covino brothers opened several standalone aquariums beginning with the Idaho Aquarium in 2011 (changed ownership 2014), Portland Aquarium in 2012 (closed 2016), the Austin Aquarium in 2013) and the San Antonio Aquarium in 2014.
SeaQuest provides an interactive experience for visitors by allowing guests the option to touch fish through open tanks, as well as holding and feeding animals in close proximity.
In 2013, Ammon Covino was found guilty of poaching animals off the shore of the Florida Keys, leaving Vince Covino to be the CEO of the business.
This list does not include violations and controversies at Covino's other aquarium businesses in Austin, San Antonio, and the former location in Portland, Oregon.
In addition to violations, SeaQuest has been subject to considerable boycott and protests by many animal-rights advocates such as actor Alec Baldwin who blocked an aquarium from being constructed on Long Island.
A Life of Napoleon (french: ) is a book written by Marie-Henri Beyle, better known under his usual pseudonym of Stendhal, in 1817-1818.
He was appointed Consul at Civitavecchia after the 1830 revolution, but his health deteriorated and six years later he was back in Paris working on his Life of Napoleon.
Beyle served as a lieutenant under Napoleon, from the heroic crossing of the Alps into Italy to the campaigns of Russia, and Austria.
Twenty years later, during the late 1830s, Stendhal returns to his project, encouraged by the new public provisions of the July Monarchy and the abundance of sources of information.
The first is primitive democracy or despotism, the second aristocracy under one or more rulers, and the third (and presumably final) one is representative government.
Napoleon represents for Stendhal the last grand figure in the second stage of history, the nineteenth-century tyrant who paradoxically brings about the third phase of civilization.
For example, a legislator is an official when voting in the legislature, but a private citizen when paying taxes or when undertaking a citizen's arrest in a public place.
Historically, Curly Lambeau has been given credit for being the Packers' first head coach, although this is primarily due to the different rules of early American football.
Lambeau, as team captain, would call the plays during a game and also organized practices, tasks that are now allocated to the head coaching position.
Ryan, who also coached the Green Bay West High School football team, only coached the Packers in their inaugural season in 1919, leading the team to a record of 10–1.
After co-founding the Packers with George Whitney Calhoun, Curly Lambeau asked Ryan to be the head coach of the team, while Lambeau served as team captain.
During the 1919 season, Ryan also returned to coach Green Bay West, while Lambeau coached rival Green Bay East High School.
The Packers under Ryan were more successful, with the team going 10–1 in 1919, mostly playing against other local teams in the Wisconsin region.
Although the division of labor is not exactly known, the rules of football in the early 1900s prevented the head coach from talking to the players during the game.
Lambeau was also recognized for organizing the team, signing players, and conducting practices, all roles that a head coach in modern football performs.
In 1920, Ryan moved from Green Bay to Gilbert, Minnesota, where he was superintendent of schools for a number of years.
This registration was intended to provide an inventory of the industrial manpower of men who were too old to serve in active United States military units.
In 2019, he was chosen to succeed Philippe Rebord as Chief of the Armed Forces, with his selection being viewed by observers as unusual considering his background.
Rebord's formal retirement ceremony was held on 5 December 2019, and Süssli formally became the Armed Forces chief on January 1, 2020.

Col. Washington Romeyn Vermilye (September 29, 1810 – December 23, 1876) was an American banker who served as president of the New York Stock Exchange.
He was a son of Mary (née Montgomery) Vermilye (1782–1847), who was of Irish Montgomery lineage, and William W. Vermilye (1780–1849), a venerated elder in the Presbyterian Church.
Among his siblings were bankers William Montgomery Vermilye and Jacob Dykeman Vermilye (husband of Mary Cornelia Lathrop), and prominent clergyman, the Rev.
In 1832, he was elected First lieutenant, followed by Captain in 1833, Major in 1840, Lieutenant colonel in 1843, and lastly, promoted to Colonel in November 1845.
After years of service in the regiment he continued his interest, being colonel of the veterans, and was actively involved in the building of new armory.
Vermilye was a Republican in politics and was involved as one of the commissioners of the New York Public School System.
In 1863, W.R. and his brother William declined, along with President Abraham Lincoln, Robert B. Roosevelt, John J. Astor Jr. and Nathaniel Sands, to endorse John Adams Dix for mayor of New York City.
In 1849, along with his eldest brother William Montgomery Vermilye and George Carpenter, he founded the firm of Carpenter & Vermilye, which became one of the most prominent banking houses in New York City and was known for selling war bonds during the U.S. Civil War.

She is also the Chief of the Sistema de Información de Emergencia Proyect (Emergency Information System in English) which allows people to send emergency messages to the population affected by a natural disaster even when there is no access to an Internet connection or mobile networks.
She designed a mobile phone application which consists on an information system which allows sending and receiving signals through smartphones in order to reach people living in places affected by a catastrophic emergency, providing useful information so that they know where to go.
This app uses a high-frequency algorithm, which encodes the audio information and can be distributed over the radio waves, generating a bridge between the analog and digital world.
One of the reasons for this loss was the non-existent alert to people from the responsible organizations such as ONEMI (National Organization for Emergencies of the Home Office in English).
As a child she was inspired by her father, who worked in the cryptography service of the Chilean Navy and motivated by the continuous tremors that characterize the Andean country, in 2015 the then computer engineering student Barbarita Lara founded the Emergency Information System (SiE) after receiving the invention patent applied for in 2017 by the INAPI (National Institute of Industrial Property).

Daniel Djakiew (born 1956 in Newcastle, Australia) is a scholar, researcher, teacher, and tenured full professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular & Cellular Biology, School of Medicine, Georgetown University, Washington DC.
At University of Newcastle (1978-1983), he conducted research on the evolution of the male reproductive tract as revealed by monotreme mammals.
These studies showed that periurethral glands in the male monotreme represent a rudimentary disseminate prostate (prostate evolution in monotreme mammals), and that the monotreme epididymis has many similarities to that of reptiles compared with scrotal mammals (epididymis evolution from reptiles to mammals).
After moving to Georgetown University (1983–present) he collaborated with Johns Hopkins University to demonstrate the physiological role of enhanced oxygen availability in the sperm storage region of the epididymis at cooler scrotal temperatures as a prime mover in the evolution of descended testes in mammals.
He was an early adopter of tissue culture technology as subsequently applied to dual chamber culture systems (1985-1991) to investigate polarized secretion in Sertoli cells and prostate cells, especially as they were used to examine paracrine factors in cell-to-cell interactions.
Studies of prostate cancer (1990-2010) examined the expression of the neurotrophins and their receptors (Trk family and p75NTR) in epithelial cells.
These studies revealed the role of the p75NTR as a tumor suppressor in prostate epithelial cells and that loss of p75NTR mRNA stability in tumor cells contributes to malignant transformation of normal cells to a cancer phenotype.
Moreover, treatment of tumor cells with selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) was shown to induce re-expression of p75NTR in tumor cells and induce apoptotic cell death.

In archaeogenetics, the term Western Steppe Herders (WSH), or Steppe Pastoralists, is the name given to a distinct ancestral component that represents descent from the Yamnaya culture of the Pontic-Caspian steppe.
The Y-DNA of the WSHs was mostly types of R1a and R1b, which are EHG lineages, suggesting that CHG admixture among the WSHs came through EHG males mixing with CHG females.
Around 3,000 BC, people of the Yamnaya culture, who belonged to the WSH cluster, embarked on a massive expansion throughout Eurasia, which might have resulted in the dispersal of Indo-European languages.
This expansion led to the rise of the Corded Ware culture, whose members were of about 75% WSH ancestry, and the virtual disappearance of the Y-DNA of Early European Farmers (EEFs) from the European gene pool, significantly altering the cultural and genetic landscape of Europe.
During the Bronze Age, Corded Ware people with admixture from Central Europe remigrated onto the steppe, forming a type of WSH ancestry often referred to as Steppe Middle and Late Bronze Age (Steppe MLBA) ancestry.
Through the Sintashta culture, Andronovo culture and Srubnaya culture, Steppe MLBA was carried into Central Asia and South Asia along with Indo-Iranian languages, leaving a long-lasting cultural and genetic legacy.
The study found that people of the Corded Ware culture were of approximately 75% WSH ancestry, being descended from Yamnaya people who had mixed with Middle Neolithic Europeans.
At this time, Y-DNA haplogroups common among Early European Farmers (EEFs), such as G2a, disappear almost entirely in Central Europe, and is replaced by haplotypes of R1b and R1a, which are common among WSH.
EEF mtDNA decreases significantly as well, and is replaced by WSH types, suggesting that the Yamnaya expansion was carried out by both males and females.
In the aftermath of the Yamnaya expansion there appears to have been a resurgence of EEF and Western Hunter-Gatherer (WHG) ancestry in Central Europe, as this is detected in samples from the Bell Beaker culture and its successor the Unetice culture.
Of modern populations surveyed in the study, Norwegians were found to have the largest amount of WSH ancestry, which among them exceeded 50%.
People of the Corded Ware culture, the Bell Beaker culture, the Unetice culture and the Nordic Bronze Age displayed close genetic affinity to WSH.
The authors of the study suggested that the Sintashta culture of Central Asia emerged as a result of an eastward migration from Central Europe of Corded Ware people with both WSH and European Neolithic farmer ancestry.
Here WSH ancestry peaked at 50% among the Kalash people, which is a level similar to modern populations of Northern Europe.
WSH ancestry was found to have been carried into the British Isles by the Bell Beaker culture in the 3rd millennium BC.
Y-DNA in parts of the modern British Isles belongs almost entirely to R-M269, a WSH lineage, which is thought to have been brought to the isles with Bell Beakers.
These individuals had only 7% WSH ancestry, suggesting that pastoralism was adopted on the Eastern Steppe through cultural transmission rather than genetic displacement.
The study found that WSH ancestry found among Late Bronze Age populations of the south Siberia such as the Karasuk culture was transmitted through the Andronovo culture rather than the earlier Afanasievo culture, whose genetic legacy in the region by this time was virtually non-existent.
It found that most of the EEF ancestry found among the Yamnaya culture was derived from the Globular Amphora culture and the Cucuteni–Trypillia culture of Eastern Europe.
Given the high amount of EEF ancestry in the Maikop culture, this makes it impossible for the Maikop culture to have been a major source of CHG ancestry among the WSHs.
The earliest evidence of WSH ancestry here was found from an individual living in Iberia in 2,200 BC in close proximity with native populations.
By 2,000 BC, the native Y-DNA of Iberia (H, G2 and I2) had been almost entirely replaced with single WSH lineage, R-M269.
mtDNA in Iberia at this time was however still mostly of native origin, affirming that the entry of WSH ancestry in Iberia was primarily male-driven.
The study found people of the Corded Ware, Srubnaya, Sintashta and Andronovo cultures to be a closely related group almost wholly of WSH ancestry, but with slight European Middle Neolithic admixture.
These results further underpinned the notion that the Sintashta culture emerged as an eastward migration of Corded Ware peoples with mostly WSH ancestry back into the steppe.
Among early WSHs, R1b is the most common Y-DNA lineage, while R1a (particularly R1a1a1b2) is common among later groups of Central Asia, such as Andronovo and Srubnaya.
It was found that there was a significant infusion of WSH ancestry into Central Asia and South Asia during the Bronze Age.
WSH ancestry was found have been almost completely absent from earlier samples in southern Central Asia in the 3rd millennium BC.
During the expansion of WSHs from Central Asia towards South Asia in the Bronze Age, an increase in South Asian agriculturalist ancestry among WSHs was noticed.
In February 2019, an analysis by David W. Anthony of the recent genetic data on WSHs was published in the Journal of Indo-European Studies.
Anthony notes that WSHs display genetic continuity between the paternal lineages of the Dnieper-Donets culture and the Yamnaya culture, as the males of both cultures have been found to have been mostly carriers of R1b, and to a lesser extent I2.
While the mtDNA of the Dnieper-Donets people is exclusively types of U, which is associated with EHGs and WHGs, the mtDNA of the Yamnaya also includes types frequent among CHGs and EEFs.
Anthony notes that WSH had earlier been found among the Sredny Stog culture and the Khvalynsk culture, who preceded the Yamnaya culture on the Pontic–Caspian steppe.
Because the slight EEF ancestry of the WSHs has been found to be derived from Central Europe, and because there is no CHG Y-DNA detected among the Yamnaya, Anthony notes that it is impossible for the Maikop culture to have contributed much to the culture or CHG ancestry of the WSHs.
Anthony suggests that admixture between EHGs and CHGs occurred on the eastern Pontic-Caspian steppe around 5,000 BC, while admixture with EEFs happened in the southern parts of the Pontic-Caspian steppe sometime later.
On this basis, Anthony concludes that the Indo-European languages whom the WSHs brought with them were originally spoken by the EHGs of Eastern Europe.
As Yamnaya Y-DNA is exclusively of the EHG and WHG type, Anthony notes that the admixture must have occurred between EHG and WHG males, and CHG and EEF females.
This has been confirmed by genetic studies of WSHs, who are found to have been much taller than Neolithic populations of Central Europe.
It has been suggested that the increased height of modern populations of Northern Europe as compared to those of Southern Europe can be ascribed to increased WSH ancestry among Northern Europeans.

Cow Myers is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) located in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), near Ripon, North Yorkshire, England.
The site was designated in 1984 for its fen and alder carr habitat, which supports a diversity of wetland plant life.
This 17th century listed building is not within the SSSI boundary, but may have been historically associated with its land, being the nearest surviving dwelling to the north entrance.
The inside of the building is no longer divided into rooms, and the house and its grounds are not accessible to the public.
Its level and marshy land surrounds Kex Beck, where it flows between Ellington Banks and the hamlet of Cow Myers, north west of Ripon, North Yorkshire.
It is part of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), and it is also a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC).
Cow Myers was notified as an SSSI on 26 January 1984, for its variety of natural wetland habitats, and the diversity of plant species supported there.
In the flush and spring fen, the underground aquifers which waterlog this site contain particular minerals, and it is the combination of the minerals and water levels which affects the diversity of plantlife here.
Thus the aquifers must be protected from agricultural and commercial water abstraction, and from industrial contamination such as pollution and fertiliser.
Light grazing by cattle is recommended to keep the springs clear, and light, seasonal trampling of the fen by cattle is considered an advantage.
It might sometimes be necessary to clear vegetation, or even coppice some trees, to maintain areas of light in the carr.
Cow Myers is located in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and sometimes the organisation's volunteers are brought in to assist with maintenance.
Some parts of Area Two were in favourable condition with diverse flora including bird's eye primrose, however the fen areas needed more horse and cattle grazing to prevent scrub from encroaching.
In 2004, Cow Myers was considered for the Ripon Flood Defence Scheme, by the Agriculture and Wetlands Technical Group, as a flood management area.
In 2014 it was noted by the Environment Agency that chemicals from slug pellets, possibly originating in agriculture further upstream, were contaminating the water at Cow Myers.
In an undated document from North Yorkshire County Council's Minerals and Waste Plan, the effect on neighbouring SSSIs including Cow Myers was considered.
Other SSSIs near Harrogate are as follows: Bishop Monkton Ings, Farnham Mires, Hack Fall Wood, Hay-a-Park, Mar Field Fen, Quarry Moor, and Ripon Parks.
Given how important cattle were to Irish agriculture are the time, fear of cows being bewitched was a common one, with a common malevolent spell believed to make it impossible to churn butter with their milk.
On a Tuesday evening in early August 1807, Butters was brought to Carnmoney, near Carrickfergus to tend to such a bewitched cow.
Elizabeth Montgomery, wife of Alexander Montgomery, a tailor, believed that one of the women in Carrick Town had bewitched her cow.
She sent Alexander and a young man called Carnaghan out to the cow-house at 10pm, told then to turn their waistcoats inside out, and stand at the head of the cow until she called them.
Here she undertook some traditional cures, such as putting pins, crooked nails, and needles in a pot of sweet milk on the fire.
Lee died within a few minutes of discovery, but Butters recovered having been thrown on a heap of manure and Alexander repeatedly kicking her.
Some other reports say that she was revived when a mob brought her to the edge of a quarry and threatened to throw her in unless she brought all three people back to life.
It is said that she placated the mob by saying she would have to return to the house to perform the rite to revive the dead.
He presented detailed evidence against Butters, which resulted in the jury finding that the deaths were as a result of suffocation from the sulphurous concoction Butters was cooking to sure the ailing cow.
In 1808, Butters was brought before the spring assizes, but all of the charges were dismissed by proclamation that the deaths were as a result of an unfortunate accident.
There is no gravestone or marker with her name, and no birth, marriage, and death announcements appear in the Belfast News-Letter from 1800 to 1860.

Menlo Micro (formally Menlo Microsystems Inc.) is an Irvine, California-based technology company that uses advances in material science to develop Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switches.
The company had been part of GE's Global Research Center, based on MEMS switching technology GE engineers had been developing for more than a decade.
As part of the spinoff, the company announced a Series A round of $18.7M, with participants including Microsemi, Corning Inc., Paladin Capital Group, and GE Ventures.
In November 2018, the company announced its MEMS technology had transitioned from a research environment to capable of being produced at a Semiconductor fabrication plant (fab).
The switches are made from custom metal alloys plated onto glass wafers with through-glass via (TGVs), technology developed in conjunction with partner Corning.
The technology is an alternative to traditional mechanical relays, which tend to be larger, slower and more prone to failure from metal fatigue.
Their low loss and low resistance makes them useful for handling the high power required for RF tuning of 5G networks.
The switches' ability to remotely control circuit breakers without drawing a lot of power makes them also suitable for home automation and industrial Internet of things (IoT) applications.
Kim Christy (born 1950) was a female impersonator of the 1960s and 1970s, magazine editor and publisher, book author, screenwriter, adult film producer, and first genderfluid person to be inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame.

The tower is often mistaken for a minaret, but is architecturally distinguished from a minaret in part by the lack of a lantern structure (a kind of mini-tower) at its top (though the nearby minaret of the Qarawiyyin Mosque also lacks this).
The structure here consists of a house with two floors arranged around a central courtyard, with the tower rising on the house's southern side.
This tower was meant to assist in determining the accurate beginning of the months (including Ramadan) in the Islamic lunar calendar, something for which astronomical observation was crucial.

The City of Flint Municipal Center is a complex of seven government office buildings located at 1101 Saginaw Street, 210 East Fifth Street, 310 East Fifth Street in Flint, Michigan.
By the late 1940s, the then-current Flint City hall was 40 years old and in dire need of maintenance, as well as being too small for the number of employees working for the city.
In November 1953, Flint residents voted on a ballot measure to fund construction of a municipal center to alleviate the issue, and approved the issuance of a $5 million bond.
In 1955, the selected site was cleared, and in 1956 the city selected the Detroit firm of H. E. Beyster & Associates to design the project and the Flint-based Sorenson-Gross Construction Company to construct it.
Ground was soon broken, and by 1957 the first buildings, the Public Health Building and associated Public Health Auditorium, were open for use.
In 1958, Flint voters approved another bond issue to complete the Fire Department Headquarters This was designed by the Flint firm of A. Charles Jones and Associates, and was opened in 1960.
The City of Flint Municipal Center contains seven International Style buildings that were constructed between 1957 and about 1959, positioned around the outer edges of a rectangular park.

Edmount Island, also called Ballinger Island, is a island in Lake Ballinger, in the Seattle suburbs of south Snohomish County, in the U.S. state of Washington.
A home was constructed on the island the early 1900s, in which lived settlers Ira Bartholemew and Julia Bartholomew, who may have built it as a hunting lodge, then Seattle mayor Richard A. Ballinger and Julia Ballinger during the summers, and Richard Achilles' father Col. Richard Henry Ballinger, a U.S. Civil War veteran.
The island is made of peat, which was completely engulfed in a runaway barbecue fire during a summer heat wave in 2009.
Since the fire, the island has been closed to public access, with emergency access provided by the local fire department's rigid inflatable boat.

Abu Abdallah al-Baridi () was the most prominent of the Baridis, an Iraqi family of tax officials who used the enormous wealth gained from tax farming to vie for control of the rump Abbasid Caliphate in the 930s and 940s.
Ultimately, the constant warfare against multiple enemies exhausted the family's resources, and by 943 Abu Abdallah resorted to assassinating his youngest brother to shore up his wealth.
Abu Abdallah died in June 944, and was succeeded as governor of Basra by his son Abu'l-Qasim, who ruled the city until the Buyids conquered it in 947.
The family first appears in 927/8, when all three brothers had posts as tax-farmers in the province of Khuzistan, whose capital was Ahwaz.
They had already at that time acquired a bad reputation, and were frequently dismissed and even imprisoned as power in Baghdad changed hands.
It was Abu Abdallah who, against a bribe of 20,000 dirhams to Ibn Muqla, secured the tax-farming contract for Khuzistan, and further lucrative posts for his brothers.
When Ibn Muqla fell from power in 930, the brothers, now very wealthy, were arrested and had to pay a hefty fine in exchange for their liberty.
Abu Abdallah rose to wider prominence in 932, when he offered to finance the expedition sent by Caliph al-Qahir () to subdue the fugitive supporters of his slain predecessor, al-Muqtadir.
For this, the revenue of the entire province of Khuzistan was placed under his control, and through ruthless oppression of the local population, he managed to extract a considerable fortune.
In late 933 or early 934, shortly before his downfall, Caliph al-Qahir gave him a tax farming contract for the province of Wasit, to the sum of 13 million dirhams.
With the deposition of al-Qahir and the accession of al-Radi (), Ibn Muqla also returned to the vizierate, and the Baridis were restored to their positions in Khuzistan.
At Ahwaz, Abu Abdallah managed to become the secretary of the chamberlain Yaqut, whose army had retreated to the city after being defeated by the Buyid warlord Ali ibn Buya and driven from Fars.
Despite being warned of his intentions, Yaqut refused to believe them until it was too late; marching to confront his colleague, he was ambushed and killed by Abu Abdallah's now much larger army.
He amassed a huge fortune by deferring to send tax revenues to Baghdad, where his brother Abu Yusuf Ya'qub looked after their interests, and established independent contacts with the Buyids of Fars.
Ibn Ra'iq was defeated and forced to leave Basra as well to the Baridis, but his general Bajkam reversed the situation by scoring two major victories, despite being outnumbered, that allowed him to take possession of Khuzistan.
This resulted in Abu Abdallah resuming his contacts with Ali ibn Buya, who in late 937 sent his younger brother Ahmad to assist the Baridis against Bajkam.
Ibn Ra'iq opened up contacts with Abu Abdallah, in exchange for a renewal of the tax-farming contract and the governorship of Khuzistan.
In exchange for his support, Abu Abdallah was confirmed as governor of Basra and Wasit, and was given the post of vizier, which he may have also briefly been awarded during his short-lived accommodation with Ibn Ra'iq.
Abu Abdallah did not visit Basra to take up his appointment, now an empty and purely honirific title, but remained ensconced in Wasit The deal was further secured by a marriage between Bajkam and Abu Abdallah's daughter, Sarah.
Although no side really trusted the other, this allowed a fragile calm to survive for about a year between Basra and Baghdad.
Bajkam engaged in a campaign against the Buyids in the mountains of Jibal, which was beaten back by the third Buyid brother, Hasan.
According to the medieval sources, this was actually part of Abu Abdallah's plan: he attacked some Buyid forts near Susa, provoking Ali ibn Buya to retaliate by attacking Wasit.
It was then that Abu Abdallah suggested extending the campaign into Jibal, while he would launch a concurrent offensive from the south; in reality, he would use Bajkam's absence to capture Baghdad.
In late August 940, Bajkam removed al-Baridi from the vizierate and launched an attack on Wasit, which the Baridis abandoned without resistance.
In December 940, Caliph al-Radi died, and Bajkam was forced to divert his attention from the Baridis to arrange the succession of al-Muttaqi ().
On his way to join his army, however, he was informed that his generals had achieved a major victory over the Baridis, and decided to return to Wasit.
Bajkam's death utterly transformed the situation for Abu Abdallah: where before he and his brothers had been contemplating abandoning Basra, now they were suddenly left as one of the two main contenders for power in Iraq alongside the caliph.
The Baridis were further strengthened when Bajkam's Daylamites, some 1,500 in number, defected to them after clashing with the Turks, who in turn placed themselves in the caliph's service.
Al-Muttaqi secured not only the Turks, but also Bajkam's enormous treasure; but the Baridis with their army, some 7,000 strong, moved to Wasit, from where he demanded money from the caliph to pay his men; if no money was forthcoming, he would continue his advance on Baghdad.
The capital was thrown into panic at these news, and al-Muttaqi mobilized the Turks to halt the Baridi advance at the Diyala canal.
In the end, it was the caliph's indecisiveness that was his undoing: when he agreed to give some money to the Baridis, it only emboldened them, and led the Turks to also demand money in return for service.
He immediately assumed the vizierate, with al-Muttaqi's appointee, Ahmad ibn Maymun resigning on 4 June, after only 33 days in office.
To be safe, Abu Abdallah had Ahmad ibn Maymun arrested four days later, and later sent him to Wasit as inspector.
The fears of the populace, arising from the Baridis' dreadful reputation, proved unfounded, but Abu Abdallah's stay in the capital was to prove short, due to his own avarice.
As a device to extract even greater sums from the caliph, whom he did not visit even once, the Baridis had the soldiers clamour for money and threaten mutiny.
But when the caliph indeed handed over half a million gold dinars, the soldiers started demanding that money from the Baridis.
The uprising spread as the populace of East Baghdad also became involved against the Baridis, and Abu Abdallah, who was encamped on the western side cut the bridge over the Tigris.
The Baridis fled to Basra, but on 28 November Ibn Ra'iq was faced with a mutiny of his troops under Tuzun and Nushtakin, who defected to Abu Abdallah.
As a result, following the mediation of Ibn Ra'iq's secretary, Abu Abdallah Ahmad ibn Ali al-Kufi, Abu Abdallah agreed to a resumption of the tax farming contract, for 170,000 dinars in the current year, and 600,000 dinars for subsequent years.
He sent Abu Ja'far ibn Shirzad as his deputy to the capital, although the administration continued to be headed by Ibn Ra'iq's secretary, al-Kufi.
When Abu Abdallah announced his intention of coming to Baghdad in person, Ibn Ra'iq removed him from office and replaced him with Abu Ishaq Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Qarariti.
A battle was fought near the Diyala on land and on the river on 7 March 942, although the clashes on the water lasted until 12 March.
Ibn Ra'iq's troops were supported by the populace of Baghdad, but the Baridis prevailed, and entered the capital on 11 March.
While the Baridis' Daylamite troops plundered the caliphal palaces, Ibn Ra'iq and his army, along with the caliph and his son, abandoned the city for Mosul, to place themselves under the protection of the local rulers, the Hamdanids.
Lawlessness was rife, as the various ethnic contingents of the Baridi army clashed with one another, and the mansions of the wealthy were looted.
It is reported that 10,000 men lost their lives to famine, disease, or violence in the 110 days that his rule lasted.
When this was betrayed, they fled north for Mosul, where Caliph al-Muttaqi was now ensconced under the protection (and control) of the Hamdanids.
After gathering the family's forces, Abu'l-Husayn led the Baridi army against the capital, while the Hamdanid forces set out to confront them under the command of Nasir al-Dawla's brother, Ali Sayf al-Dawla.
On the other hand, so depleted and exhausted were the Hamdanids that they were unable to pursue, allowing the Baridis to retreat to Basra unmolested.
The Hamdanid advance stalled quickly as Sayf al-Dawla ran out of funds, and as the Turkish commanders became increasingly insubordinate, on 7 May 943 Sayf al-Dawla abandoned the army and fled secretly to Baghdad.
In the meantime, in late 942 the Buyid Ali ibn Buya attacked Basra, on the pretense that the caliph had written to him for this purpose.
Barely three days later, Abu Abdallah exploited Tuzun's absence and took back Wasit, but soon he had to withdraw in the face of a new and unexpected threat: in August 943, Yusuf ibn Wajih, the ruler of Oman, sailed up the Shatt al-Arab, captured the city of al-Ubulla, and laid siege to Basra.
The Baridis were saved when an enterprising sailor managed to set fire to the Omani fleet, forcing Ibn Wajih to depart.
Tuzun now pursued a peace with the Baridis of Basra, sealed with a marriage alliance with a daughter of Abu Abdallah.

Aljay al-Yusufi, also known as Iljay (; d. 8 Muharram 775 AH / 1 July 1373 CE) was a military leader in the Mamluk Sultanate under al-Malik al-Ashraf.
He held the military office of atabeg al-askar (commander in chief), and was also briefly in charge of the bimaristan of al-Mansur.
Ibn Taghribirdi notes that he was simply a prominent Mamluk emir, until his marriage to the mother of the reigning sultan, Khwand Barakah Khatun.
Thereafter, he rose quickly through the ranks: he was promoted to the position of amir silah in early 774 AH/ 1372 CE, and put in charge of the bimaristan at the same time.

Hikers follow natural trails and elevated boardwalks through a sedimentary rock glen carved by Minnehaha Creek to its confluence with the Mississippi River where there is a sandy beach.
Main access to the hiking trail loop is via several staircases near Minnehaha Falls that descend to the lower glen floor.
Alternative and year-round access to the hiking trail loop is possible via the Glens Area by Godfrey Parkway or the South Plateau Area by a dog park.
Minnehaha lower glen is the canyon area downstream from Minnehaha Falls to where Minnehaha Creek flows to its end at the Mississippi River.
After descending staircases into the glen, hikers traverse dirt trails that eventually follow both sides of the creek, with gradual elevation change to the Mississippi River.
The trail on the north side of the creek is mostly rated moderate in difficulty, while the south side trail is considered more challenging.
There are five numbered pedestrian bridges in the park, with numbers 2-5 in the lower glen, that allow hikers to traverse the creek.
By 2010, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District spent $7 million toward restoration efforts such as trail improvements, shoreline stabilization, invasive plant removal, boardwalk replacement, and reconstruction of stone wall and bridge structures.

HGTV is a interior home and garden-orientated lifestyle television channel broadcasting in the United Kingdom and Ireland, currently owned by Discovery, Inc.
The channel originally launched on 1 November 1997 as UK Style and then was rebranded to Home on 30 April 2009 and was rebranded to its current form on 21 January 2020.
After a slight rebrand to UKTV Style, the channel made a return to terrestrial screens for a time in the mid-2000s (decade) as part of the now-defunct Top Up TV system.
The channel originally launched on 1 November 1997 as UK Style, broadcasting lifestyle programming from the archive of the BBC and from external producers.
The channel was launched as part of the initial creation of the UKTV network, following the success of sister channel UK Gold.
The channels success was noted when new channel UK Food was created with the sole purpose to free up the space on UK Style's schedule by transferring all food programming to the new channel.
In January 2003, another new channel called UK Bright Ideas was created to showcase programming from UK Style and UK Food on the digital terrestrial network Freeview.
On 8 March 2004, in line with the rest of the UKTV network, the channel changed its name to UKTV Style.
The channel's schedule was further freed up by the creation of new channel UKTV Style Gardens in January 2005, which allowed the transfer of all landscape and gardening programmes to the new channel.
As part of the rebranding of UKTV's channels to unique names and identities, UKTV Style was rebranded as Home on 30 April 2009 and repositioned to include programming based around home improvement, gardens and home lifestyle programmes.
Other female lifestyle programmes were transferred to newly created channel Really, and all gardening programmes were transferred from UKTV Gardens to Home as part of the rebrand.
This took place on 21 January 2020, The first programme to air on HGTV was Homes Under The Hammer at 7 am.
A two-hour timeshift called UKTV Style +2 launched on 12 December 2007 on major platforms, replacing UKTV Bright Ideas on Sky.
The channel's original identity revolved around the screen split in half horizontally with two objects coming together to form one object.
Examples of these idents include an ornament added on top of a flower and still retains that image, wine pouring into a glass, with the base of glass formed out of pouring paint from a tin and a boater hat forming the bowl for some strawberries and cream.
These idents were accompanied by a logo consisting of 'UK' inside a box and the channel name 'Style' written after on a line in upper case.
The box and line logos were replaced with the channel name stylised Style with a four-box pattern positioned to the right of the logo.
This style had been adopted by the majority of the UKTV channels, with each channel's symbol representing the idents simplified and the channel focus in some ways.
The boxes were arranged with one rectangle down the left-hand side, one running along the top half of the screen, a third in the centre bottom and a fourth in the bottom right corner.
This arrangement was also reflected in the relaunched idents in 2001, with a different image in each section of the four-part arrangement.
With the rebrand to UKTV Style, the idents changed to a neutrally coloured house interior and occupiers, which when looked through a mirror is improved and brightly coloured.
Then in 2007, the idents features the people are painting or dancing in the purple background while it opens with the pictures of gardening, home improvements and DIY before it closes, followed by the UKTV Style closes down.
The channel also adopted the station colour of purple at the same time, and three different shades of the colour would appear at the ending of promotions for programmes on the channel and for promotions for the channel on the UKTV network itself.
Following the rebrand to Home, the idents now feature a virtual tour of a home of varying sorts, with various features pointed out by text, usually of a comical nature.
The output of the channel shows lifestyle programmes, mainly gardening, home improvements and DIY shows, that are a combination of internally produced shows, repeats of shows from the BBC archive and international imports.

The Nathan Warnick Apartments are located in a mainly residential area of Dorchester, at the southeast corner of Bradshaw and Bicknell Streets in the Franklin Field North area.
It is a single building, four stories in height, built out of buff brick with a stone foundation, cast stone trim, and a flat roof.
The building is basically rectangular, with entrances near the centers of both street-facing facades, and an angled face at the street corner.
The entrance is framed by a modestly styled cast stone surround, which joins a stone belt separating the first and second floors.
The neighborhood had seen an influx of Irish immigration during the late 19th and early 20th century, which was taken over by Jewish migration, primarily by second-generation Jews who grew up in Boston's North and West Ends.
Nathan Warnick, the builder, was a Jewish immigrant from Poland, and all of the building's early residents were Jews of Russian origin, either immigrants or first-generation descendants.

It throws light on the work of actors such as Peter Finch, Bill Kerr, Michael Pate, Leonard Teale, Rod Taylor, John Meillon, June Salter and Ruth Cracknell, comedians George Wallace, Roy Rene and Jack Davey and variety hosts Bob and Dolly Dyer.
Crocker was born in Bankstown, Sydney, the daughter of Edna May Crocker (née Dingwall 1905 – 18 November 1992) and upholsterer Roy Samuel Crocker (28 February 1906 – 1980).
At her parents' insistence, she entered the stream for the academically inclined and passed her Leaving Certificate exams in 1948, though without distinction.
Her mother was anxious that she not inherit her own shyness, and accordingly received elocution training from Grace Buist and Harry Thomas and studied piano under Eileen Hanley.
In real life she was about to sail with Ruth Cracknell to London, but from her return to Australia in 1953 she made frequent guest appearances in a variety of minor roles, and was one of the few (with Queenie Ashton and Osbiston) who played in both the first and last episodes (28 February 1949 and 30 September 1976).
With the advent of television in Australia in the mid-1950s, sponsorship for quality radio drama dried up, and radio stations moved to quiz shows, talkback, and popular music programming.
He represented Iraq at the 2008 Summer Paralympics and at the 2016 Summer Paralympics and he won two medals: the silver medal in the men's 56 kg event in 2008 and the silver medal in the men's 72 kg event in 2016.
He has also worked in public relations: he was an associate director of the advertising agency J. Walter Thompson during 1961–1962 before moving to Charles Barker City Ltd, where he was their associate director during 1964–1965 and joint managing director from 1968 until 1973.
Derriman was also president of the Institute of Public Relations from 1973 until 1974, and was awarded the President's Medallist of the IPR in 1978.
Vivian Rubiyanti Iskandar (middle name also spelt Rubianti and Rubianty) is the first trans person legally recognised by the Indonesian courts as their true gender.
Her attorney, Adnan Buyung Nasution of Jakarta Legal Aid, argued the absence of such a law did not restrict her right to seek this redress.
In 1975, she married Felix Rumayar in Jakarta, solemnised under the rites of the Catholic Church, and gave up on her salon - taking up employment as a sales girl for Viva Cosmetics in Jogjakarta.
Murtagh (2013), in his analysis of the movie, argues that Vivian did not see herself as part of the Waria community, instead understanding herself to firmly fall on one side of a male-female gender binary.
Vivian's case has become a landmark one in Indonesian jurisprudence, being cited in similar future decisions as regards a legal change of gender.
Locman’s head office is at Marina di Campo and its branch offices can be found in Florence, Milan, New York, Hong Kong, and Tokyo.
In 2012 the company had about one thousand distribution points around the world and 10 single-brand stores, which have since been consolidated into 7 stores.
The founder of the company, Mantovani, was born on the Tuscan island but spent his childhood and studied in Milan where his father had a leather company.
Together with his friend and partner Fulvio Locci, Marco went to Basel to introduce his strap to the companies taking part in the watchmaking fair.
Today the Locman company has expanded its market, combining the Locman signature with other products, such as bags and glasses thanks to the purchase of the Magia Eyewear group in 2016.
In the early years, Mantovani and Locci designed and produced models for other brands in the Marina di Campo and Milan offices.
In 2007 on the occasion of the release of the new Fiat 500 on the market, a limited series of 500 watches inspired by this car was produced.
Today the company has a turnover of more than 20 million euros, 70 employees and a distribution network in Europe, the United States, the Middle East and Japan.
But, in its early years, the company was not well known to the watchmaking market until Hollywood actors like Sharon Stone and Jennifer Lopez along with sport stars like David Beckham started wearing Locmans and brought the company to become well known in the watchmaking field.

Sinclair-Chapman studies American political institutions, the representation of minority groups in the United States Congress, and minority political participation, particularly how excluded groups come to be included in American politics.
Sinclair-Chapman attended the University of North Carolina-Asheville from which she obtained a BA in 1991, and then completed an MA and a PhD at The Ohio State University, graduating in 2002.
After obtaining her PhD, Sinclair-Chapman became a professor at the University of Rochester, where she later became the Director of Graduate Programs in the Kearns Center for Leadership and Diversity.
The book uses group-level data to argue that poorer and less educated African Americans, who are more often the victims of crime, are also less likely to be politically active than wealthier African Americans.
In addition to her book and journal articles on African American political participation, minority representation, and American political institutions, Sinclair-Chapman has also published on diversity and inclusion in political science.
Sinclair-Chapman is a member of the 2020-2024 editorial leadership of the American Political Science Review, which is the most selective political science journal.
While working for the German Foreign Ministry under Gustav Stresemann, Vallentin met H. G. Wells and invited him to deliver an address on world peace to the Reichstag.
Herman Fred Krueger (April 5, 1894 – August 19, 1991) was an American politician and aviator who served in the Wyoming House of Representatives and as the Speaker of the House as a Democrat.
Herman Fred Krueger was born in Bern, Kansas on April 5, 1894 to German immigrants Otto Frederick Krueger and Virginia F. Harvey.
During World War I he joined the U.S. Army's aviation section and fought over Italy and Austria which lead to him receiving the Italian War Cross.
Krueger was elected to the state house to represent as one of Park County's representatives and served until 1939 and was later elected to another term from 1941 to 1943.
In the 1936 house elections the Democratic Party retained control over the house and on January 12, 1937 he was elected as Speaker of the House with 38 votes against the Republican nominee's, Max Russell, 18 votes.
On August 19, 1991 he died at his home in Powell, Wyoming and at the time of his death he was the last pilot from World War I in Wyoming.

The Louis Riel Memorial is a public sculpture by John Cullen Nugent that stood on the grounds of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building for a quarter of a century.
The original concept was commissioned as an abstract sculpture in steel, opposed by Premier Ross Thatcher, who insisted on a realistic depiction instead.
The statue was controversial, particularly with the Métis community, and was finally removed in 1991 at the long insistence of the Métis Society of Saskatchewan.
The idea for an official provincial memorial for Louis Riel orginated in 1964 when the Government of Saskatchewan's Creative Activities Subcommittee planned a monument for the Métis leader erected in time for the celebrations of Saskatchewan's diamond jubilee in 1965, and asked Clement Greenberg for his opinion.
Greenberg had spent a summer at a University of Saskatchewan painting workshop at Emma Lake, and suggested John Nugent, who had participated in such workshops in 1949.
Nugent had begun his career as a proficient sculptor creating liturgical commissions in silver and bronze, but as of 1961, had gradually shifted to welded steel abstract sculptures.
In the lead-up to the Canadian Centennial in 1967, the Saskatchewan Arts Board recommended that the province should have a new public sculpture.
Maria Tippett compares it to a model of a welded steel tower by the Russian Constructivist Vladimir Tatlin produced in the Soviet Union in 1920.
While this was not exactly what Thatcher had wanted either (he would have preferred Riel in a suit), he nevertheless asked Nugent to go ahead with it, and Nugent was commissioned to create this version, with the proviso that the statue be clothed.
Thatcher argued with Nugent over the height of the pedestal, the artist insisting that it be lowered before he would hand over the sculpture.
The unveiling took place on 2 October 1968, just north of the Legislature, to a crowd of about three thousand, very few of whom were Métis.
Nugent was only paid half the sum he was owed as he owed $5,000 on a government loan he got to build his studio in Lumsden; he said he could not afford to sue over it.
Though Louis Riel was a leader of the Métis community, no Métis were ever consulted by those involved in the project at any stage.
Over the next twenty years, the sculpture was continuously denounced, and pressure increased with time to remove the work from the legislative grounds.
Journalist Ron Petrie's opinion most closely reflected that of the Métis:Imagine if you dare, the likely reaction of the Saskatchewan public if a statue of, say Tommy Douglas, John Diefenbaker or Ross Thatcher were unveiled in front of the Legislative Building and, like the Riel piece, portrayed the man with his genitalia exposed.

The series does not have an editorial position, however, the commentary and analysis can be described as populist, and as a bipartisan alternative to mainstream news.
The Interprovincial Standards Red Seal Program, generally known as the Red Seal Program, is a program setting common standards for tradespeople in Canada as a partnership between the federal government and provinces and territories.
It is under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Council of Directors of Apprenticeship (CCDA) It was created in 1959 as a result of the first National Conference on Apprenticeship in Trades and Industries, which was held in Ottawa in 1952.
There are 56 trades currently recognized in the program, covering such trades as cook, electrician, machinist, welder, heavy equipment operator, millwright, and roofer.
Provinces and territories are responsible for administering apprenticeship training and trade certification in their respective jurisdictions, including the administration of the Red Seal Program in their jurisdictions.

Major General James Burston (1 May 1856 – 4 March 1920) was a business man, local body politician, and an Australian Army officer who served in the First World War.
A fire in 1892 saw the company's factory having to be rebuilt but it continued to grow, soon acquiring Victoria Brewery Co.'s maltings.
He was elected to the Melbourne City Council in 1900 and served two terms as Lord Mayor from 1908 to 1910.
The same year, Samuel Burston & Co. merged with a competing company to form Barrett Bros & Burston Co. Pty Limited, with Burston being a managing director of the new company.
Banking was another pursuit for Burston; as the president of the Melbourne Permanent Building Society, he oversaw its amalgamation with the Universal Permanent Building and Investment Society.
By 1885, he was a captain, serving in the 2nd Infantry Battalion, and would be promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1895.
By 1908, having received staff training in a course at Aldershot, which he self-funded, he was a staff officer attached to the Victoria Field Force.
For his service in the militia, which by this time had evolved into the Citizens Military Force, he was awarded the Colonial Auxiliary Forces Officers' Decoration.
When the First World War broke out, Burston was without a military role but was called up for active duty despite being 58 years of age.
In April 1915, he was enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force as a colonel and appointed commander of the 7th Brigade, which included the 25th to 28th Battalions.
He took a role as commander of reinforcement troops at Mudros, a staging post for soldiers being sent to Gallipoli, for a time before travelling to England.
He was survived by his wife, Marianne , and six children, one of whom, Roy Burston, served in the Australian Army Medical Corps during the First and Second World Wars, reaching the rank of major general.
During 2020 they have exhibition matches scheduled and will compete in the Espana Rugby league with a focus on developing Spanish players.
The club was first formed in 2019 by Dean Buchan, an English businessman who formed a consortium which submitted a proposal to compete in Rugby Football League competition.
They planned to stage a double header with Super League XXIV finalists St. Helens and Salford Red Devils but that fell through and they instead hosted a standalone fixture against the Featherstone Rovers, which they lost 102–14.

Kark´kisällit organised annual concerts in Karkkila Hall (Karkkila-sali) which soon became widely popular attracting people to come and listen to them from neighbouring towns and all over Uusimaa region.
The quartet chose a new repertoire and theme for each concert but despite that they had some songs that became traditions among them and their fans.
Examples of these songs are Hirvenmetsästyslaulu (Elk hunting song) and Mississippi (Ol' Man River) which was sang by actor Esa Saario, a usual visiting star to Kark´kisällit's conserts.
The mountain is situated north of Golden on the southern edge of the Freshfield Icefield, in the Blaeberry Valley, less than from the Continental Divide.
The mountain was named in 1898 by J. Norman Collie after Albert F. Mummery (1855-1895), a famous British mountaineer who perished attempting to climb Nanga Parbat in the Himalayas.
Collie named many peaks in the Canadian Rockies, and was a climbing companion who accompanied Mummery on the Nanga Parbat expedition.
The first ascent of the mountain was made in 1906 by I. Tucker Burr Jr, Samuel Cabot Jr, W. Rodman Peabody, Robert Walcott, with guides Gottfried Feuz and Christian Kaufmann.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Mummery is located in a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.
Precipitation runoff from the mountain and meltwater from the Mummery Glacier drains into Blaeberry River and Waitabit Creek, which are both tributaries of the Columbia River.

From 1933 to 1964, the school was known as Boise Junior College, then from 1965 to 1967 it was known as Boise College.
The team initially competed at Public School Field before moving to the on-campus College Field (also known as Chaffee Field) in 1940.
In 1946, with the war over, the program returned under Jacoby, then in 1947 first-year assistant Lyle Smith was promoted to head coach.
Boise saw tremendous success under Smith, who won his first 37 games as a head coach (interrupted by a period in 1950 and 1951 in which Smith was called into Naval service in Korea and George Blankley took over as head coach and also saw success).
That success continued well into the 1960's, with the Broncos ultimately earning 13 Intermountain Collegiate Athletic Conference football titles, by far the most for a single school in that conference's history.
1967 would be the final year for Boise at the 2-year level as they moved to the NAIA as an independent.
1967 would also be coach Smith's final year as a coach as he moved full-time into the athletic director role at Boise.
In 1968, Boise College would change its name again to Boise State College, and the football program began 4-year competition under its under new head coach Tony Knap.
^Boise State was undefeated in ICAC league play, but did not play enough conference opponents to be eligible for the conference championship.
Hot temperature extremes are enhanced by dry, compressed wind from the west slopes of the Cascades, while cold temperatures are generated mainly from the Fraser Valley in British Columbia.
Seattle experiences its heaviest rainfall during November, December, and January, receiving roughly half of its annual rainfall (by volume) during this period.
Light rain and drizzle are the predominant forms of precipitation during the remainder of the year; for instance, on average, less than of rain falls in July and August combined when rain is less common.
One such event occurred on December 2–4, 2007, when sustained hurricane-force winds and widespread heavy rainfall associated with a strong Pineapple Express event occurred in the greater Puget Sound area and the western parts of Washington and Oregon.
It became the second wettest event in Seattle history when a little over of rain fell on Seattle in a 24-hour period.
In November, Seattle averages more rainfall than any other U.S. city of more than 250,000 people; it also ranks highly in winter precipitation.
Seattle is one of the five rainiest major U.S. cities as measured by the number of days with precipitation, and it receives some of the lowest amounts of annual sunshine among major cities in the lower 48 states, along with some cities in the Northeast, Ohio, and Michigan.
By comparison, Fort Myers, Florida, reports thunder on 93 days per year, Kansas City on 52, and New York City on 25.
Winters are cool and wet with December, the coolest month, averaging , with 28 annual days with lows that reach the freezing mark, and 2.0 days where the temperature stays at or below freezing all day; the temperature rarely lowers to .
Summers are sunny, dry and warm, with August, the warmest month, with high temperatures averaging , and reaching on 3.1 days per year.
The hottest officially recorded temperature was on July 29, 2009; the coldest recorded temperature was on January 31, 1950; the record cold daily maximum is on January 14, 1950, while, conversely, the record warm daily minimum is the day the official record high was set.
Both streams of air originate over the Pacific Ocean; airflow is split by the Olympic Mountains to Seattle's west, then reunited to the east.
Thunderstorms caused by this activity are usually weak and can occur north and south of town, but Seattle itself rarely receives more than occasional thunder and small hail showers.
The Hanukkah Eve Wind Storm in December 2006 is an exception that brought heavy rain and winds gusting up to , an event that was not caused by the Puget Sound Convergence Zone and was widespread across the Pacific Northwest.
Conversely, the northeastern portion of the Olympic Peninsula, which lies east of the Olympic Mountains is located within the Olympic rain shadow and receives significantly less precipitation than its surrounding areas.
Prevailing airflow from the west is forced to cool and compress when colliding with the mountain range, resulting in high levels of precipitation within the mountains and its western slopes.
Once the airflow reaches the leeward side of the mountains, it then lowers and expands resulting in warmer, and significantly dryer air.
Often an area devoid of cloud cover can be seen extending out over the Puget Sound to the north and east of Sequim.
Other areas influenced by the Olympic rain shadow include Port Angeles, Port Townsend, extending as far north as Victoria, British Columbia.
A single calendar-day snowfall of six inches (15 cm) or greater has occurred on only 17 days since 1948, and only three times since February 17, 1990; of snow officially fell at Sea-Tac airport on January 18, 2012.
This 2012 moderate snow event was officially the 12th snowiest calendar day at the airport since 1948 and snowiest since November 1985.
Another moderate snow event occurred from December 12–25, 2008, when over one foot (30 cm) of snow fell and stuck on much of the roads over those two weeks, when temperatures remained below , causing widespread difficulties in a city not equipped for clearing snow.
In February 2019, Seattle experienced its snowiest month in 50 years (since January 1969), with 20.2 inches of snow, all from February 3–11, with 6.4 inches on Feb. 8 and 6.1 more inches on Feb. 11.
The largest documented snowstorm occurred from January 5–9, 1880, with snow drifting to in places at the end of the snow event.
From January 31 to February 2, 1916, another heavy snow event occurred with of snow on the ground by the time the event was over.
The month of January 1950 was particularly severe, bringing of snow, the most of any month along with the aforementioned record cold.
One of many exceptions to Seattle's reputation as a damp location occurs in El Niño years, when marine weather systems track as far south as California and little precipitation falls in the Puget Sound area.
Since the region's water comes from mountain snow packs during the dry summer months, El Niño winters can not only produce substandard skiing but can result in water rationing and a shortage of hydroelectric power the following summer.
In keeping with its identity as a competition run at long time controls on high-end hardware, TCEC secured a hardware upgrade for the competing CPU engines.
Among other changes, the number of cores available is doubled from 44 to 88, the operating system used is now Linux, and Syzygy endgame tablebases are now cached directly in the RAM for faster access.
Because this upgrade advantages CPU engines compared to GPU engines, TCEC split the qualification paths to Premier Division by introducing separate leagues for CPU and GPU engines.
For CPU engines, there will first be a Qualification League consisting of 16 engines, followed by League 2 (16 engines) and League 1 (16 engines).
The top 2 GPU engines will then contest a playoff against the top 4 CPU engines in League 1, with the four highest-placing engines promoting to Premier Division.
Six engines - Stockfish, Komodo, Houdini, Leela Chess Zero, AllieStein, and Stoofvlees - are seeded directly to Premier Division, based on their top 6 finishes in the previous season.
Among the competitors Igel was the only engine to not lose to Defenchess and Demolito, but it lost to bottom-half engines FabChess and Topple.
Comparatively, iCE was whitewashed by Defenchess and Igel, but it turned in a strong performance against its other rivals, losing only one other game to Winter.
Pirarucu went through a tense moment when it lost to Winter in the penultimate round; however it pulled out a win with Black against Topple to promote.
7th-placed Minic was in a promotion spot all the way up to the final round, when it lost to Gogobello while iCE beat Counter.
Minic had the better Sonneborn–Berger score, but it also had one crash, and the number of crashes was the first tiebreak.
Nonetheless, in a stroke of good fortune for Minic (and 8th-placed PeSTO), the League Two engines chess22k and Fritz crashed three times during testing for the division.
chess22k's and Fritz's authors were not able to update the engines in time, resulting in Minic and PeSTO promoting as lucky losers.
It had been relegated in the previous season because its developer had submitted a drastically different neural network-based version that turned out to be significantly weaker.
For the other promoted engines, Winter and PeSTO performed surprisingly well, comfortably finishing above their peers in 7th and 8th respectively.
The remaining five promoted engines occupied the bottom five spots, and were all relegated along with Wasp (which crashed three times).
After the division concluded, in a repeat of testing for League Two, four League One engines either pulled out or did not run on the new Linux operating system, resulting in the 5th-8th placed engines in League One promoting.
During testing for League One, three engines (Booot, Chiron, and ChessBrainVB) did not play because they did not run on Wine, the compatibility layer that TCEC is using to run Windows programs on Linux.
The Mount Clemens Sugar Company was a local venture in Mount Clemens, Michigan, which processed sugar beets into refined sugar, and which operated from 1901 until 1950.
Enticed by the success of a similar operation in Bay City, Michigan, in 1898, the Mount Clemens Chamber of Commerce sent Sheriff William F. Nank on a fact-finding mission.
On 9 January 1920, a federal grand jury in Detroit handed down an indictment of the Mount Clemens Sugar Company and President James Davidson, charging sale of sugar at the excessive price of seventeen cents per pound.
Freight rates for transporting beets had risen, the acreage available had dwindled as agricultural land was sold off for other industry and residential development.
The War Department appropriated 200 acres of the company’s own land for expansion of Selfridge Air Force Base, and also required the factory to cut 100 feet off of the plant smokestack, the loss of which draft necessitated the installation of fans.
Světlík, who reached a best ranking of 230 in the world, qualified for his only ATP Tour main draw at the 1999 Prague Open.

The awarding of an eagle feather, the traditional insignia of an Indian brave, was an important rite of passage into manhood.
To qualify as a warrior, and thus earn the right to wear an eagle feather, Indian youths were required to perform an act of courage on behalf of their tribe.
For plains Indians such as the Sioux or Apache this included killing and scalping an enemy, capturing a horse, infiltrating the enemy's camp, taking a prisoner, or striking the same opponent three times in battle.
Few braves received more than three eagle feathers during their lifetime due to the bird's rarity and sacred status, but exceptionally courageous and talented warriors such as Sitting Bull, Geronimo or Cochise could ultimately earn enough feathers to make a war bonnet.
Plains Indians frequently decorated their buckskin war shirts with the scalps of their enemies, bone breastplates as protection from cold weapons, bear claws, porcupine quills or wolf teeth to demonstrate their hunting prowess, silver conchos made from Morgan Dollars or Mexican pesos, and elaborate glass beadwork.
This attire served the dual purpose of terrifying their enemies, and ensuring the warrior looked his best before the Great Spirit if he was killed in battle.
Common bead patterns, believed to protect the wearer in battle, included the thunderbird, diamonds and crosses, or zigzags in white, cyan, black, red, orange and yellow.
Tattooing and scarification were also in use among Southwestern tribes such as the Cherokee, Seminole and Cree to enable a warrior to demonstrate his resistance to pain, signify allegiance to a specific tribe or marital status, and to draw favours from totem spirit animals such as Raven, the Great Bear, or the serpent.
Centuries before the arrival of the first pioneers, the Indian shaman would tattoo braves using cactus spines dipped in a carbon-based ink.
At long range, a brave would cling to the side of his horse and use it as a shield, while returning fire with his own gun or bow and arrow.
Other commonly used weapons included ball-topped clubs and gunstock war clubs decorated with brass thumbtacks taken from old trunks burned as firewood by American pioneers.
The braves of the Indian Wars made use of many different types of gun, including flintlock horse pistols, long rifles, Colt revolvers, Springfield muskets, Remington rolling blocks, Sharps carbines taken from the US cavalry, and repeating rifles such as the Winchester yellowboy or Spencer carbine.
Cartridge firearms enabled chiefs such as Red Cloud and his dog soldiers to wage a successful guerrilla campaign against the blue-coats, until attrition and countless atrocities committed by the whites against Indian women and children forced the braves to surrender.
Chingachgook from Cooper's Last of the Mohicans, May's Winnetou, and Ellis' Deerfoot of the Shawnee are represented as selfless, heroic protagonists as intelligent and competent as any white man.
During the Cold War, Russian and East German Red Westerns such as the Sons of the Great Bear subverted contemporary American portrayals of the Indian Wars by romanticising the Indian brave's resistance to genocide at the hands of the white man.

Haitian boat people are refugees from Haiti who flee the country by boat, usually to southern Florida and sometimes the Bahamas.
In the 1980 Mariel boatlift, many Haitian boat people joined the exodus from Cuba to take refuge in the United States.
Between 1972 and 1981 around 55,000 boat people had arrived in Florida, but many escaped U.S. detection so the number may be around 100,000.
Before 1981 all Haitian entrants to the United States were detained and if not considered political refugees, were sent back to Haiti.

Temporary health camps were organised during World War I and through to the 1930s under the guidance of Elizabeth Gunn (paediatrician).
Children were served several portions of healthy simple food to ensure they returned home in a healthier state than in which they arrived.
Entrepreneur and land owner, Byron Brown, gave the land for the children's camp and the first camp buildings went up and remain there today.
The government stepped away from the camps in 2001, handing them over to a new charitable organisation, STAND Children's Services/Tu Maia Whanau which was contracted to Oranga Tamariki.
He was drafted to the military service during Emperor Yang of Sui's campaigns against Goguryeo, but he was late for the duty, which might lead to a death penalty.
When Li Yuan (Li Shimin's father and future founding emperor of Tang Dynasty) decided to rebel against Sui in 617, Liu Hongji and Zhangsun Shunde ambushed and killed Wang Wei and Gao Junya, the two deputy officials of Taiyuan who helped Emperor Yang of Sui spy on Li Yuan, and made it possible for Li Yuan to rebel in Taiyuan.
His move cleared the flank for Li Yuan's main force who were attacking the Sui capital Daxing (on the southern bank of Wei River, better known as Chang'an) from the east.
Wei Wensheng, the Sui general guarding the Daxing area, was defeated by Liu Hongji's force at the Jinguang Gate of Daxing city.
From 618 to 622, Liu Hongji took part in Tang's unification wars against Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou and Liu Heita as a subordinate to Li Shimin.
In 624, the court sent Liu Hongji and Li Shentong (Prince of Huai'an) to Binzhou, a frontier town north of Chang'an, to guard the border between Tang and Tujue.
In 627, he was implicated by his friend Prince of Yi'an, Li Xiaochang, who tried to launch a riot against the newly crowned Li Shimin (Emperor Taizong) after the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
In 645, he took part in the campaign against Goguryeo led by Emperor Taizong as the chief commander of the vanguard force.
In folk stories, Liu Hongji was one of the four close guards (along with Yin Kaishan, Duan Zhixuan and Ma Sanbao) to protect Li Shimin when he was the Prince of Qin.
The Wellington Writers Walk is made up of a series of 23 quotations from New Zealand writers, including poets, novelists, and playwrights.
The quotations are placed along the Wellington waterfront, from Kumutoto stream to Oriental Bay, in the form of contemporary concrete plaques or inlaid metal text on wooden 'benchmarks'.
They were designed by Catherine Griffiths and Fiona Christeller and installed to honour and celebrate the lives and works of these well-known writers, all of whom had (or have) some connection to Wellington.
The Walk began as a project of the Wellington Branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors (PEN NZ Inc.) Te Puni Kaituhi o Aotearoa under the inaugural committee of Eirlys Hunter (convenor), Robin Fleming, Dame Fiona Kidman, Barbara Murison, Ann Packer, Susan Pearce, Judy Siers and Joy Tonks.
The first series of 11 concrete plaques were designed by internationally renowned typographer Catherine Griffiths, with each plaque having an individual sponsor.
The Writers Walk was opened during New Zealand Post Writers and Readers Week, part of the International Festival of the Arts, on 11 March 2002.
Catherine Griffiths was awarded the Terry Stringer Award at the BEST Design Awards in 2002 for her work on the sculptures.
The quotations for Jack Lasenby, Joy Cowley, James McNeish and Elizabeth Knox were unveiled by the then patron, Governor-General Sir Jerry Mateparae, in a ceremony on the waterfront on 20 March 2013.
The Writers Walk attracts a lot of attention from locals as well as visitors, tourists, bloggers and photographers, and is also a popular expedition for school groups.
In 2008, the Wellington Writers Walk committee held the Wellington Sonnet Competition, sponsored by New Zealand Post, which attracted over 200 entries.
The competition was judged by Harry Ricketts and won by Michele Amas, with Saradha Koirala and Richard Reeve in second and third place respectively.
In 2012, New Zealand was Guest of Honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair, and the Wellington Writers Walk played a starring role, with large decals of the quotations appearing alongside the River Main in Frankfurt.
It was launched there in September 2012 by New Zealand writers Hamish Clayton and Tina Makereti, both in residence at Frankfurt's Weltkulturen Museum.
The Writers Walk featured in a 2015 Spectrum documentary when presenter Jack Perkins explored part of the walk with Rosemary Wildblood, Barbara Murison and Philippa Werry.
In 2017, a project for the Wai-Te-Ata Press at Victoria University of Wellington, called the Literary Atlas of Wellington, was undertaken to create an augmented reality mobile application based on the Wellington Writers Walk.
De Viguerie was a professor emeritus at Charles de Gaulle University – Lille III and a member of the Consistori del Gay Saber.
Previous to his tenure in the Alabama Senate, he was the finance director and chairman for the Madison County Republican Party, as well as a lawyer.
He was President and Chief Executive Officer of hospital group Capio for 10 years, till 2018. and was President and Chief Executive Officer of Securitas for 14 years, till April 2007.
Later that year, in December 1999 he oversaw the purchase of two more American security firms for $202 million in cash.
With Breglund at the helm of the company, Securitas's revenue grew from $750 million (7 billon SEK) to $7 billion (66 billion SEK), and employed over 250,000 people.
He was the Securitas chief at the time of the high profile Securitas depot robbery, at Tonbridge, Kent when on 22 February 2006, over $92 million (£53,116,760) in cash bank notes belonging to the Bank of England was stolen.
It was the largest known cash robbery in the world during peacetime, and only eclipsed by the wartime $1 billion cash heist done at the Central Bank of Iraq, under orders of Saddam Hussein by his son Qusay in 2003.

Vaclovas Biržiška guessed that Zablockis could have been a neighbor of Abraomas Kulvietis and thus could be from the area of Kulva.
When Queen Bona Sforza who supported and protected the Protestants left for Poland, Kulvietis and Zablockis moved to Königsberg to avoid the persecution by Bishop Paweł Holszański.
In August 1542, Duke Albert of Prussia wrote two recommendation letters for Zablockis to the Elder of Samogitia and to Grand Duke Sigismund I the Old.
Zablockis then returned to Königsberg where he enrolled into the University of Königsberg together with three Lithuanian students – Martynas Mažvydas, , and .
Zablockis reappears in written records in March–August 1560 when he helped eight Lithuanians, including future bishop Merkelis Giedraitis, and his brother, and relatives of Grand Chancellor , to enroll into the University of Tübingen.
In May 1563, Zablockis and his students attended the wedding of Duchess Hedwig of Württemberg and Louis IV, Landgrave of Hesse-Marburg.
It appears that Zablockis returned to Tübingen and died shortly after as his students were recalled by their parents in late 1563 without Zaborskis.
The book did not identify the author or the translator of the hymn, but the same hymn – this time attributed to Zablockis – was republished in a hymnal prepared by Mažvydas or and published in 1570.
The hymn was translated from German; it is known from two hymnals published in Marburg in 1549 and two other hymnals published in Königsberg in 1549.
A six-line Latin epitaph was published by Merkelis Giedraitis in 1561 to commemorate the death of Katarzyna, mother of who was Zablockis' student in Tübingen.

Discrete supercells developed in the early morning on December 16 and moved northeast, spawning multiple strong tornadoes in cities such as Alexandria and in Laurel before congealing into an eastward-moving squall line.
During the outbreak, the National Weather Service issued several PDS tornado warnings as well as a rare tornado emergency for Alexandria.
The first signs of organized severe weather came on December 12, when the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) outlined a day 5 risk area across portions of the Mid-South and lower Ohio River Valley.
This 15% delineation area was shifted southwestward the following day and translated to a broad Slight risk for severe weather on December 14.
Expectations of a tornado outbreak arose on December 16 as a well-defined, positively-tilted trough existed across the central United States and very strong cyclonic flow developed southeast of this feature.
At the surface, a cold front was expected to progress across the Southeast United States while an intensifying area of low pressure propagated northeast along the boundary.
The environment along and ahead of this front was anticipated to be favorable for severe weather, featuring dewpoints as high as the low 70s Fahrenheit, mid-level Convective Available Potential Energy on the order of 1,000–2,000 J/kg, and a contributing to large hodographs and strong cyclonic updraft potential.
Given the general alignment of the cold front and wind shear aloft, the SPC was uncertain early on December 16 over whether numerous discrete supercells would exist in the highest threat area.
By later in the day, however, a consistent signal for sustained warm-sector supercells from available model guidance lent credibility to the potential for multiple significant tornadoes.
At 16:40 UTC, the SPC issued their first tornado watch, the first of four during the day as the severe weather threat spread eastward.
Discrete supercells soon developed within the warm sector across Louisiana, while a line of thunderstorms congealed along the encroaching cold front.

In 1864–1865, Battery F fought at Morton's Ford and served in the garrisons of Washington, D.C. and Harper's Ferry, West Virginia before being mustered out in June 1865.
From March to June 1862, the unit served with the 1st Division in Banks's V Corps and the Department of the Shenandoah.
From May to October 1863, Battery F served in the 4th Volunteer Brigade of the Artillery Reserve, Army of the Potomac.
From April to June 1865, the unit was in the 3rd Brigade, Martin D. Hardin's Division, XXII Corps, Department of Washington.
The original officers were Captain Robert B. Hampton, First Lieutenant James P. Fleming, First Lieutenant Nathaniel Irish, Second Lieutenant Alfred N. Harbours.
On 23 May 1862, Jackson's reinforced Confederates wiped one of Banks's garrisons in the Battle of Front Royal and threatened to cut off Banks's division from Winchester.
Banks ordered his outnumbered troops to retreat on 24 May from Strasburg and appointed John Porter Hatch to command his rearguard and burn any supplies that could not be carted off.
Hatch's command included the 1st Vermont Cavalry and 5th New York Cavalry Regiments, 10 companies from two more cavalry regiments, one howitzer from 4th U.S.
At 4:00 pm, one company of infantry, the depot guard, several cavalry companies, and Battery F found that Jackson's troops blocked the Valley Turnpike ahead of them at Middletown.
After Captain Hampton and the other officers conferred, the small Union force retreated south to Strasburg, covered by Battery F's four Parrott rifles.
One shell wounded eight soldiers from the 7th Louisiana Infantry Regiment while another exploded under Richard Taylor's horse without inflicting any injury.
Battery F found its way back to Banks's main force where it fought in the First Battle of Winchester on 25 May.
In the rout that followed, some Federal infantrymen complained that the fleeing cavalry and artillery threatened to trample those on foot.
The Union reported losses of 71 killed, 243 wounded, and 1,714 missing, though many sick soldiers were left behind in the hospitals.
At the start of the campaign, Battery F was assigned to Henry Bohlen's brigade which was part of Carl Schurz's 3rd Division in Franz Sigel's corps.
In August, Lieutenant Joseph L. Miller joined Battery F with 50 men and two guns, raising the total number of guns from four to six.
The Federals were suddenly attacked by Isaac R. Trimble's Confederate brigade which was soon joined by John Bell Hood's two brigades.
Battery F under Captain Hampton served with Alexander Schimmelfennig's brigade at the Second Battle of Bull Run on 28–30 August 1862.
Spotting Battery F moving from the right flank toward the left, Milroy ordered the first two-gun section to take position south of Groveton Woods.
During the Maryland Campaign, Battery F under Captain Hampton was part of the artillery belonging to Joseph K. Mansfield's XII Corps.
At the Battle of Antietam on 17 September, only four of seven of the XII Corps batteries went into action, including Hampton's.
At the Battle of Chancellorsville on 1–4 May 1863, Battery F was assigned to John W. Geary's 2nd Division in the XII Corps under Henry Warner Slocum.
When the XI Corps was routed on 2 May, Army of the Potomac commander Joseph Hooker ordered XII Corps artillery chief Clermont L. Best to form a battery facing west at the Fairview clearing.
On the morning of 3 May, Battery F with its six Parrott rifles formed part of the gun line at Fairview.
Some of the Fairview batteries were protected by earthen revetments, but those at the southern end of the line were not.
During the day's fighting, an enemy shell detonated one of Battery F's caissons and Captain Hampton was mortally wounded in the explosion.
At the Battle of Gettysburg on 1–3 July, the unit was converged with Independent Battery C, Pennsylvania Light Artillery under Captain James Thompson.
Batteries C and F fought as part of Freeman McGilvery's 1st Volunteer Artillery Brigade in the Army of the Potomac's Artillery Reserve commanded by Robert O. Tyler.
When the Army of the Potomac's commander George Meade discovered Sickles's mistake, it was too late to do anything but reinforce the thinly-spread III Corps.
The Army of the Potomac's artillery chief Henry Jackson Hunt ordered some batteries from his Artillery Reserve to move to the support of Sickles.
Private Casper R. Carlisle of Battery F earned the Medal of Honor for saving one of the battery's guns while under heavy fire.
On 3 July, during the Confederate artillery bombardment that preceded George Pickett's charge, Hunt wanted the Reserve Artillery to save their ammunition until the enemy infantry appeared.
McGilvery refused Hancock's command to order his brigade to fire, so Hancock tried to persuade the individual battery commanders to do so.
Battery F joined in the Army of the Potomac's advance from the Rappahannock to the Rapidan River on 13–17 September 1863.
The battery crossed the Rapidan at Germanna Ford and was engaged at Mine Run on 27–28 November and at White Hall Church on 29–30 November.
Battery F sustained losses of two officers and eight enlisted men killed and mortally wounded in action, while 14 enlisted men died of disease; there were 24 fatalities.

The poison's effects on humans usually include drops in blood pressure, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, and multiple deaths have been associated with its use.
Kambo, which originated as a folk medicine practice among indigenous peoples of the Amazon, is also administered as an alternative medicine treatment in the West.
Proponents claim that kambo helps with any number of illnesses or injuries, but there is no scientific evidence that it is an effective treatment of any kind.
Kambo is traditionally practiced by Panoan-speaking indigenous groups in the southeast Amazon rainforest, such as the Mayoruna, Matse, Amahuaca, Kashinawa, Katukina, Yawanawá and the Kaxinawá.
This causes the frog to become stressed enough to activate its defence mechanism, secreting a substance containing peptides from its skin.
In native use, small dots are deliberately burned on the skin, and a small dose of the frog secretions is applied to the open wounds.
Outside South America, a kambo ceremony can involve just two people, the practitioner and participant, or a number of participants at once, which is known as a kambo circle.
There are usually yoga mats on the floor and the ceremony room, which is often the practitioner's living room, is heavily incensed.
During the ceremony the skin of the participant is deliberately burnt multiple times, usually on the upper arm or leg, by the practitioner using a smouldering stick or vine.
There is no solid medical evidence on how the frog toxins work, whether they are useful for treating anything, and whether they can be used safely.
The frog secretes a range of small chemical compounds of a type called peptides, which have a number of different effects.
When introduced to the body, these peptides cause intense effects including nausea and vomiting, incontinence, pain, dizziness, increased heart rate and euphoria.
Neuropsychiatric side effects, such as psychosis, seizures, confusion and memory loss, have been reported, as well as kidney damage and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion.
There have been some preclinical trials in mice and rats, but no phase-1 tests or clinical trials of safety in humans, .
Joaquim Luz, a Yamanawa leader, criticized commercial sales and the use of kambo without the preparation or permission of indigenous peoples, saying that users were put at risk, including the risk of death.

He was born in 1961 in Niagara Falls, New York and died in 2015 at the age of 54 due to pancreatic cancer.
After his death, the John Chervinsky Emerging Photography Scholarship at the Griffin Museum of Photography was established with the intent to provide support and encouragement in the professional lives of emerging photographers; enhancing their ability to develop their personal vision for photography.
For 18 years Chervinsky ran a particle accelerator at Harvard University and went on to work at the Harvard’s Rowland Institute for Science, where he collaborated with various museums to analyze works of art using the elementary particle accelerator.
In the span of a year his wife, Kirsten Chervinsky, became ill, the 911 attacks on the World Trade Center occurred, and his friend Guy Pollard, a fellow photographer, died unexpectedly.
With the combinations of these three events, Chervinsky focused on studio photography that combined his love for the arts and physics.
He has also shown his work at the Spencer Museum of Art, the Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia, the Fitchburg Art Museum, and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center.
He has had solo exhibitions at the Michael Mazzeo Gallery in New York City, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory Art Gallery, Richard Levy Gallery, and the Blue Sky Gallery, also known as the Oregon Center for the Photographic Arts.
The concepts in his work address the correlation between rational, scientific explanations regarding existence and humankind's attempts to explain the world through belief systems.
A formative moment in his studio practice occurred when he contemplated drawing a circle in a square corner of a room; from a specific point of view, the chalk line looked round in a photograph.
The concept evolved to combine physics formulas, chalk, forced perspective with physical objects to create still life images that convey the laws of nature.
Cherivinsky would sometimes include actual scientific concepts into his works, for example, an image that referred to the presence of water on Mars.
All of these photos were in black and white, and were printed on matte paper giving them the look of a chalkboard.

Hypotransferrinemia, is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder in which the body produces not enough transferrin, a plasma protein that transports iron through the blood.
Once believed to be a synonyme for atransferrinemia (the total absence of transferrin) today’s science is aware of the fact that hypotransferrinemia is a way more common phenotype of mutations in the HFE- und transferrin genes.
The presentation of this disorder entails brain damage, neurological conditions, heart dysfunctions, and any kind of symptoms that arise on the grounds of iron oxidation within human cells caused by non-transferrin (protein) bound iron (NTBI).
In terms of genetics of hypotransferrinemia researchers have identified mutations in the TF gene as a probable cause of this genetic disorder in affected people as well as mutations in one of the HFE-genes.
Due to a lack of sufficient transferrin excess iron deposits itself in the brain, heart, liver, skin, testicles and joints causes structural damages.

Joseph Richard Grah (born March 23, 1971) is an American musician, singer, songwriter and record producer based in Los Angeles who has fronted multiple bands, most notably the Dallas-based alternative rock group Jibe.
Grah lived in Philadelphia until age eight when his family’s home was lost to a fire, from which he barely escaped.
As a child Joe played drums in the school band, and he gravitated to music as a source of constancy amidst his itinerant adolescence.
His family settled in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the mid 1980s where Joe started his first punk band, Crimes Against Humanity, at age 14.
He went on to drum for other local punk bands such as Morbid Truth, and Carnage, the latter of which opened a string of shows with Pantera.
On December 6, 1991 at age 20, Joe attended a concert by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam in Kansas City, Kansas.
By 1993 Joe was living in Dallas, Texas and working at Guitar Center where he made connections with other local musicians and formed the band Jibe in early 1994.
Over the course of the next nine years, Jibe would issue three studio albums, and play over 2,500 concerts across the United States, sharing the stage with many of the top rock bands of the day.
Jibe was on the verge of making it big when the band suddenly announced their breakup in the summer of 2004.
Following the breakup of Jibe in 2004, Joe moved to Los Angeles and formed the band Loser with guitarist John 5.
From 2008 to 2010 Grah fronted the band South of Earth which included guitarist Geno Lenardo (Filter), bassist Bill Gower (Boy Hits Car), and drummer Joe Babiak (Kill Hannah).
The group recorded several songs during various sessions at Johnny K’s Groovemaster Studios in Chicago, and with producer Johnny Andrews in Atlanta, as well as with Danny Lohner in Los Angeles.
In 2012 Joe began recording and self-producing home demos for an electronic rock solo project he called Dead Girls Don’t Lie, and released several online singles from 2013 to 2015.
He assembled a live backing band and for the next two years performed locally in Los Angeles, including a show at The Roxy Theater, and a set at the Day of the Dead Festival in 2014.
Grah also fronts the band I Am The Wolf, a project which includes Charles Lee Salvaggio, who was also a member of Loser with Grah.
In May 2018 the band hit the road, joining Theory of a Deadman for a gulf coast tour, and also toured the west coast in August.
However Jibe reluctantly dropped out of the tour and again went on hiatus when Grah was seriously injured in a head-on collision while riding his motorcycle in Hollywood on October 8, 2018.
During his months long recovery from the motorcycle accident, Joe began writing and recording new solo songs in his home studio.
He self-produced the recordings, working with mixer Evan Rodinache (Flyleaf, Escape the Fate, Powerman 5000) and Grammy Award winning mastering engineer Bill Hare.
Instead of releasing the tracks simultaneously as an album, he decided to distribute them individually as singles on a monthly basis, with accompanying music videos.
Joseph G. Echols (c. 1916 – March 28, 1977) was an American football coach, college athletics administrator, and Negro league baseball player.
Echols served as the head football coach at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia from 1950 to 1954 and at Norfolk State University in Norfolk, Virginia from 1955 to 1960.
He was probably a Rhinelander, since he travelled with a certain Adolf from Cologne and he was familiar with the Palatine Chapel at Aachen.
In his introduction, he gives his work a spiritual purpose: to help bring Christ to mind for those who cannot see the Holy Places themselves and thereby to love and pity him, bringing themselves closer to heaven.
Dietrich's pilgrimage can be dated to between 1171 and 1173, during the reign of King Amalric of Jerusalem, when the Holy Places were under Christian control.
He may have made a detour to visit Nazareth, Tiberias and Mount Tabor, but his description of the Sea of Galilee is very confused.
His description of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre indicates that he was there during the renovations financed by the Emperor Manuel I Komnenos.
Dietrich shows less interest in miracles and wonders, but does provide a first-hand account of the coming of the Holy Fire.
He is a member of the Chinese Nuclear Society (CNS), Chinese Nuclear Physics Society (CNPS), Chinese Institute of Electronics, and China Society of Radiation Protection.
La Veu de Catalunya (Catalonia voice) was a Catalan newspaper founded by Enric Prat de la Riba that was published in Barcelona from the first of January 1899 to 8 January 1937, with two editions daily.
It was the press organ for the ideological and political program of the Lliga Regionalista, and the conservative editorial line promoted the so-called Autonomia, the normality of the public use of the catalan language, and the Catalan school.
From a journalistic point of view, it was a modern newspaper, organized by sections, with correspondents and collaborators in the territory, and a team that combined young people and the best journalists of the time.
Also under that name, Valentí Almirall's Diari Català had previously been published, during one of the periods in which it was suspended, between 30 July and 28 August 1880.
The daily edition was started by Enric Prat de la Riba with a political orientation and in defense of the program of the Regionalist League.
In all cases, it ended up appearing with other names (La Creu de Catalunya, Diari de Catalunya, La Veu de Barcelona, El Poble Català, Baluard de Sitges, Costa de Ponent) to avoid the ban.
That event stimulate the creation of Catalan Solidarity, an alliance of Catalan parties that would triumph in the elections to the Parliament in 1907.
Its journalists will create the first ethical manuals and will establish precise internal instructions for the writing of articles, the contrast of sources and the design of the pages.

In addition to Prat de la Riba, Josep Morató i Grau, Joaquim Pellicena i Camacho and Ramon d'Abadal i de Vinyals also were directors of the newspaper.

Kaufusi was born on February 27, 1979 to Petelo and Eveline Kaufusi, both Tongan immigrants who came to the United States in 1972.
He played high school football at East High School in Salt Lake City, where his team won the Utah 4A state title in 1996, when Kaufusi was a senior.
Kaufusi played defensive end and tight end for East High; in his senior season, he caught 17 passes for 327 yards as a tight end and recorded 16 sacks as a defensive end.
Kaufusi began his coaching career in 2004, when he embarked on a four-year stint as an assistant coach at Cottonwood High School in Murray, Utah, a suburb of Salt Lake City.
Kaufusi went on to serve at Weber State as the defensive ends coach, where he spent the 2010 and 2011 seasons.
In 2012 and 2013, Kaufusi served as a defensive graduate assistant at BYU, where he was also the team's academic advisor.
Kaufusi returned to Weber State in 2014, and he went on to coach the defensive ends there for the 2014 and 2015 seasons.
After Weber State led the Big Sky Conference in total defense in the 2015 season, Kaufusi was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2016.
That same season, Weber State ranked first in the Big Sky Conference in passing defense, allowing a mere 193.5 yards per game, and five of the Wildcats' defensive players earned all-conference honors.
He was elected as a legislator of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly from Pungro Kiphire in 2003 as a Bharatiya Janata Party candidate.

The 2020 FFA Cup will be the seventh season of the FFA Cup, the main national soccer knockout cup competition in Australia.
32 teams will contest the competition proper (from the Round of 32), including 10 A-League teams and 22 Football Federation Australia (FFA) member federation teams determined through individual federation qualifying rounds, plus the reigning National Premier Leagues Champion (Wollongong Wolves).
A total of 32 teams are scheduled to participate in the 2020 FFA Cup competition proper, ten of which are from the A-League, one the 2019 National Premier Leagues Champion (Wollongong Wolves), and the remaining 21 teams from FFA member federations, as determined by the qualifying rounds.
The bottom two clubs in the 2019–20 A-League season will play-off for a spot in the Round of 32, and the new expansion A-League club (Macarthur FC) will not appear in the tournament until the following year.
A-League clubs represent the highest level in the Australian league system, whereas member federation clubs come from Level 2 and below.
FFA member federations teams compete in various state-based preliminary rounds to win one of 21 places in the competition proper (Round of 32).
With the exception of youth teams affiliated directly with A-League clubs, all Australian clubs are eligible to enter the qualifying process through their respective FFA member federation, however only one team per club is permitted entry in the competition.
The preliminary rounds operate within a consistent national structure whereby club entry into the competition is staggered in each state/territory, ultimately leading to round 7 with the winning clubs from that round gaining direct entry into the Round of 32.
The 2020 edition of the tournament sees South Australia increasing from 1 to 2 qualifying places while NSW loses one place.
Chinese used vehicle exporting is a grey market international trade involving the export of used cars and other vehicles from China to other markets around the world.
With 300 million cars in China, Chinese vehicles are now entering the used vehicle market overseas to boost demand for the domestic market.
According to the African Courier, it's suggested that the export of used cars is a way to deepen implementations to the Belt and Road Initiative.
The Automotive industry in China had contracted when vehicle sales declined with 28 million vehicles in 2018, which represented an annual drop of 2.76%.
This was the first decline in the industry seen since 1990 due to falling sales and the effects of the China–United States trade war with US$200 billion raised on Chinese-made products.
The concept of exporting used Chinese-made vehicles were made public in April 2019 when the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Public Security, and the General Administration of Customs jointly issued a public notice on Supporting the Export of Used Cars in Conditionally Mature Areas.
In May 6, 2019, it was reported that the Chinese Ministry of Commerce officially announced the approval of legally exporting used Chinese vehicles in an effort to increase domestic sales and promote trade in the automotive market.
MOFCOM has mentioned that they'll work in identifying companies that can handles vehicle exports and for testing standards to ensure that the used cars are sold safely.
In a MOFCOM press conference on May 9, 2019, it was mentioned that it is working with officials from the General Administration of Customs and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to administer export licensing for vehicles shipped out of China.
On July 2019, it was announced that the first exports consisted of 300 used cars for Cambodia, Myanmar, Nigeria and Russia from Guangdong.
On September 3, 2019, Tianjin had exported 60 used vehicles with a value of US$700,000 from the Dongjiang Free Trade Port Zone to the Port of Apapa in Nigeria.
On November 2019, an export of 500 used cars were reported to be sold to Benin for US$3 million from Guangdong.
A statement released by Guangdong Good Car Holdings Co. Ltd. on November 21, 2019 says that it was the most valuable order received for the export of used cars.
Ten cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong, were announced to be designated areas where used vehicles can be legally exported from.
Sales of used Chinese vehicles to emerging markets would drive down prices, it would make an impact on new cars being sold and manufactured.
This gives Chinese vehicle manufacturers a chance to sell any vehicles that may run into trouble with the State VI vehicle emission standards that were implemented on July 1, 2019.
The market allows the vehicles to be exported to countries that do not have strict standards for vehicles used in their own markets.
For instance, the United States does not allow the import of a vehicle unless it's 25 years old and most newer Chinese vehicles made domestically were only made from 1994.
In Myanmar, the Myanma Ministry of Commerce announced strict guidelines on used car exports from China in order to crack down on vehicles that are being sold from China, but are not made in China.
Proof that Chinese vehicles sold through imports, new or used, are required to have certified papers that shows that they were manufactured in China.

Though the city currently has no National Football League team (it supported the Milwaukee Badgers in the 1920s), Milwaukee is considered a home market for the Green Bay Packers.
The team split its home schedule between Green Bay and Milwaukee from 1933 to 1994, with the majority of the Milwaukee games being played at Milwaukee County Stadium.
The 1939 Championship between the Packers and the New York Giants was played at State Fair Park in what is currently known as the Milwaukee Mile.
The Packers final post-season game in Milwaukee was a 1967 divisional playoff against the Los Angeles Rams which the Packers won convincingly 28-7.
After the team folded following the season (largely due to being left broke because of a $500 fine by the NFL for using four high-school players in a game against the Chicago Cardinals, a game arranged after the Badgers had disbanded for the season), many of its members played for the independent semi-pro Milwaukee Eagles.
Although City Stadium in Green Bay was the Packers' official home field, in 1933 they began to play some of their home games in Milwaukee to attract more fans and revenue.
After hosting one game at Borchert Field in 1933, the Packers played two or three home games each year in Milwaukee, at Wisconsin State Fair Park from 1934–1951, Marquette Stadium in 1952, and Milwaukee County Stadium from 1953–1994., after which the Packers moved back to Green Bay permanently.
The infield of the quarter-mile dirt infield track at the Mile near the current media center was also the location of a football stadium, informally known as the Dairy Bowl.
It hosted the Green Bay Packers from 1934 through 1951, including the NFL championship game in 1939, a 27–0 shutout of the New York Giants on December 10 to secure a fifth league title.
Marquette Stadium hosted three games during the 1952 season; Packer games in Milwaukee were moved to nearby Milwaukee County Stadium when it opened in 1953.
In order to improve revenue, the Packers began playing one or two home games a year at the newly constructed Milwaukee County Stadium, a practice that continued through .
With City Stadium greatly outdated, and more and more opponents asking for their games against the Packers to be played in Milwaukee, the NFL required the Packers to build a new stadium if they wanted to stay in Green Bay..
The Packers and the city of Green Bay complied, building a brand-new 32,000-seat stadium, naming it New City Stadium (currently known as Lambeau Field).
The new stadium was dedicated in a game against the Chicago Bears, with many celebrities attending, including actor James Arness, NFL commissioner Bert Bell, vice president (and future U.S. president) Richard Nixon, and Bears coach George Halas.
The Packers played two to four home games per year at Milwaukee County Stadium from 1953 to 1994, Milwaukee County Stadium hosted at least one pre-season game annually during this time as well (except 1983), including the Upper Midwest Shrine Game.
By 1995, multiple renovations to Lambeau Field made it more lucrative for the Packers to play their full home slate in Green Bay again for the first time since 1932.
Milwaukee County Stadium was partly responsible for Lambeau Field's existence, as it was not only intended to lure an MLB team to Milwaukee (which it successfully did in when the Boston Braves moved to Milwaukee from 1953-1965 before moving again to Atlanta; and again in 1970, when the Seattle Pilots moved to Milwaukee and became the Brewers), but also to lure the Packers to Milwaukee full-time.
As originally constructed, Milwaukee County Stadium was double the size of the Packers' then-home, City Stadium, leading the NFL to give the Packers an ultimatum—build a bigger stadium or move to Milwaukee.
The Minnesota Vikings (15 times) were the Packers' most frequent foe at Milwaukee County Stadium, as the Packers would traditionally host at least one divisional rival from the NFC Central in Milwaukee each season.
The Packers' final game in Milwaukee was a 21–17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on December 18, 1994; with 14 seconds left, the winning 9-yard touchdown run was scored by quarterback Brett Favre.
The Packers hosted one NFL playoff game at Milwaukee County Stadium, in 1967, defeating the Los Angeles Rams 28–7 in the Western Conference championship game.
It was the first year that the NFL playoffs expanded to a four teams, and Green Bay had home field advantage for both rounds, then awarded by rotation.
Following the unsuccessful effort to lure the Packers to Milwaukee full-time, in 1965 city officials tried to lure an American Football League expansion team to play at Milwaukee County Stadium, but Packers head coach Vince Lombardi invoked the team's exclusive lease as well as sign an extension to keep some home games in Milwaukee through 1976.
Nonetheless, city officials still pursued an AFL franchise, possibly to play at Marquette Stadium, but the AFL–NFL merger effectively quashed any chances of Milwaukee landing its own team.
The playing surface was just barely large enough to fit a football field, which ran parallel with the first base line.
The south end zone extended onto the warning track in right field, while the north end zone extended into foul territory on the third-base side.
At its height, it seated less than 56,000 for football—just over the NFL's minimum seating capacity—and many seats had obstructed views or were far from the field.
The first of these emanations is the hero-god Vāsudeva, with the other emanations being his kinsmen presented as extensions of Vāsudeva himself.
Originally, several of these earthly deities, particularly Vāsudeva, seem to have formed one of several major independent cults, together with the cults of Narayana, Shri and Lakshmi, before they later coalesced to form Vishnuism.
The heroes would then have evolved into Vaishnavite deities through a step-by-step process: 1) deification of the Vrishni heroes 2) association with the God Narayana-Vishnu 3) incorporation into the Vyuha concept of successive emanations of the God.
Epigraphically, the deified status of Vāsudeva in particular is confirmed by his appearance on the coinage of Agathocles of Bactria (190-180 BCE) and by the devotional character of the Heliodorus pillar inscription (circa 110 BCE).
Starting with the art of Mathura, Vāsudeva (avatar of Vishnu) fittingly appears in the center of the sculptural compositions, with his decorated heavy mace on the side and a conch shell in the hand, his elder brother Balarama to his right under a serpent hood and holding a drinking cup, his son Pradyumna to his left, and his grandson Aniruddha on top.
It is dated to the 2nd century BCE on stylistic grounds, being quite similar in style to the monumental Yaksha statues.
The figure on the reverse is devoid of ornamentation, the hair is parted in the middle and falls loosely, but both arms are broken, making it impossible to identify their attributes.
This seems to prefigure the Vishnu Chaturmurti, in which Vishnu, crowned with a halo, is also flanked by the images of Narasimha and Varaha, with Kāpila in back as seens in the examples from Kashmir.
The general style of the figures is quite similar to that of the early Yakshas, and it has been suggested that their role might have been understood as parallel: just as the Yakshas are considered as emanations of the Supreme deity Brahman, the four Vyuhas are similarly emanations of Narayana.
Zhang Yue (; born November 1958) is a Chinese materials scientist currently serving as a professor and vice-president of the University of Science and Technology Beijing.
After the resumption of college entrance examination, he entered Wuhan University of Water Resources and Electric Power (now Wuhan University), where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in February 1982.
In September 1987, he was accepted to the University of Science and Technology Beijing, where he received his doctor of engineering degree in October 1993.
He carried out postdoctoral research at Wuhan University of Technology (now Wuhan University of Technology) from October 1993 to October 1995.
In February 1982, he became an assistant at Wuhan University of Science and Technology, he served for a total of five years.
He joined the faculty of the University of Science and Technology Beijing in October 1995, what he was promoted to professor in 1995 and to doctoral supervisor in 1998.
In 2000 Anthony Mason Fellowship financed his research at the School of Materials Science and Engineering, University of New South Wales.
From January 2001 to February 2002, the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) found funds for his research at Tohoku University, Tokyo University, Tokyo University of Technology, Osaka University, and Kyoto University.
He is the namesake of a defeated law, Wynn's Law, that would have made it more difficult for suspects to make bail if they had a criminal history.
Before becoming a police officer, Wynn was a paramedic for Emergency Health Services in Bridgewater, NS from between 1996 and 2009.
He had been undergoing a routine check of the license plates in the parking lot — a common task on a slow night such as that one — when he found a plate that was not registered to the truck it was on.
The bill was to make changes to the Criminal Code that would have made it mandatory to disclose a suspect's criminal history during a bail hearing.
It was named after Wynn because his killer Shawn Rehn had been out on bail at the time of the shootings, despite having many previous charges.
It was argued that these previous charges should have been disclosed at Rehn's bail hearing, and that such a change may have prevented Wynn's death.
The bill was championed by Wynn's wife Shelly, who at times through the process voiced her displeasure at the Liberal government, who were accused of opposing the bill on political grounds.
The Charlotte area has historically been home to several lower-division soccer teams, dating back to the Carolina Lightnin' in the early 1980s.
The Lightnin' won the American Soccer League championship in 1981, played in front of 20,163 people at American Legion Memorial Stadium.
After the league folded in 1983, the team played for one season as the Charlotte Gold in United Soccer League before ceasing operations.
Professional soccer did not return to Charlotte until the founding of the Charlotte Eagles in 1991, who joined the USISL in 1993.
Charlotte was on the list of cities interested in joining Major League Soccer (MLS) in 1994, prior to the league's inaugural season, but was not awarded a franchise.
Charlotte was also named as a potential home for an expansion team in 1996 and 1998, but passed over in favor of other cities.
Since a renovation to Bank of America Stadium in 2014, the city has hosted several friendly and international matches, including the CONCACAF Gold Cup and the International Champions Cup, which drew strong attendance figures.
The area also has a large soccer-playing population, centered around recreational leagues that have led other efforts to attract a professional team to Charlotte.
A separate professional team, the Charlotte Independence, was founded in 2014 and replaced the Eagles in the second division (now named the USL Championship).
The Independence's ownership group had expressed their goal of winning an MLS expansion team when the club was founded, and proposed a major renovation to American Legion Memorial Stadium in 2015 that would make it into soccer-specific stadium.
The team hired a sports investment firm in October 2016 to advertise the MLS bid to potential investors while preparing further stadium plans.
A separate Charlotte bid was formed in late 2016 by Marcus G. Smith of Speedway Motorsports, the owners of the Charlotte Motor Speedway, with support from local business leaders.
The bid proposed building a new stadium at the Legion Stadium site with 20,000 to 30,000 seats that would cost $175 million, including $87.5 million funded by the city and county governments and a $75 million loan to the ownership group.
The Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners voted 5–3 in favor of the stadium plan, while the Charlotte City Council decided against a vote on the issue before the bid deadline on January 31, 2017.
Several league officials toured Charlotte in July 2017, but the city council and county commissioners both canceled their meetings during the tour.
Charlotte also faced competition from a bid submitted by Raleigh, North Carolina, who were also part of the twelve-city shortlist and had support from the state government.
The Mecklenburg County government voted in August against their financial contribution to the stadium project in favor of deferring the issue to the city government, who declined to vote on the issue.
Hedge fund manager and billionaire David Tepper became the owner of the National Football League's Carolina Panthers in July 2018 and suggested his interest in bringing Major League Soccer to Charlotte.
Glick was placed in charge of organizing an MLS expansion bid for Tepper, who had several meetings with league officials before the next bidding window was opened in April 2019.
Tepper presented a formal expansion bid for Charlotte to the league in July 2019, shortly before meetings with league officials and additional tours of Bank of America Stadium.
He announced plans in September to upgrade the existing Bank of America Stadium to make it suitable for an MLS team, which would include up to $210 million in contributions from the city government.
In November, MLS commissioner Don Garber named Charlotte as the frontrunner to earn the slot for the 30th team, praising Tepper's efforts and the bid's plans.
The Charlotte City Council approved $110 million in stadium and franchise funding in late November, using revenue from a hospitality tax.
The expansion team was officially awarded to Charlotte by MLS at an event at the Mint Museum on December 17, 2019, and is set to begin play in 2021.
The expansion fee to be paid by Tepper is reported to be near $325 million, a 62.5 percent increase from what was paid by the successful bids for St. Louis and Sacramento earlier in the year.
In December 2019, several media outlets reported that Tepper Sports had submitted a trademark filing that included eight potential names: Charlotte FC, Charlotte Crown FC, Charlotte Fortune FC, Charlotte Monarchs FC, Charlotte Athletic FC, Charlotte Town FC, Carolina Gliders FC, and All Carolina FC.
The bid organizers signed a multi-year agreement with Ally Financial in July 2019 to be the kit sponsor for the then-unannounced MLS team.
The team will play at Bank of America Stadium, a 75,525-seat American football venue that is the home of the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League.
A major renovation, to be partially funded by the city government, is planned to accommodate soccer at the stadium, including new locker rooms and a center tunnel.
The team plans to only use the lower bowl and club sections of the stadium, capping capacity at around 40,000 seats.
The team's headquarters and practice facilities are planned to be located on the former site of the Eastland Mall, a city-owned property.
Former Carolina Dynamo head coach Marc Nicholls was named the club's technical director in January 2020 and will direct the youth academy system.

Reverend Andrew Stritmatter (33 October 1847 - 22 November 1880) was a missionary with the Methodist Episcopal Church in China from 1867-1880.
At Ohio State, the Reverend Mr. Brown, a missionary of many years in India came to speak and upon hearing his lecture, Stritmatter was convinced of his calling to missionary work.
On the journey he met Lucinda Combs, who had been appointed by the Women's Foreign Missionary Society (Philadelphia) to Peking, China and who would later become his wife.

In fact, the Prime Minister stated that if the UWI was not willing to be a partner to establish a university in Antigua and Barbuda, he would seek another partner.
As the UWI vice-chancellor noted, the post-secondary education participation rate of students of the OECS sub-region was significantly below that of the countries with landed campuses and even the rest of the hemisphere.
Data backs up that the average tertiary gross enrolment rates (GER) for Barbados, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago are much higher than the GERs for other contributing countries that do not have a landed campus.
The ability to complete the first one or two years of a degree or even a full degree in a student's home country is a siginficant cost saving for the student and the government, where it provides student financial assistace.

On 27 May 2019, the University Finance and General Purposes Committee (UF&GPC) of the UWI System approved the establishment of Five Islands campus.
The first group of 147 admitted students were matriculated on 27 September 2019 and are currently pursing studies in the Schools of Humanities and Education; Management, Sciences and Technology; and Health and Behavioural Sciences.
The UWI Five Islands campus is sited 7.5 km from the capital, St. John's, co-located with a campus of the Antigua State College.
The building itself was originally built by a Chinese state construction firm for a secondary school that was never opened, due to a change of government.
As many of these students are enrolled in the first two years of franchised UWI programmes, they will be able to complete their degree programmes without having to leave the country.
Harvard University has expressed willingness with UWI Five Islands to work out cooperation arrangements that would benefit the University, in acknowledgment of Harvard University’s historical relationship with slavery, particularly confronting past injustices and their legacies.

The first attempt to form a separate church district for Estonia took place in 1921 when the first annual Methodist conference in Estonia took place and Martin Prikask was appointed the first local superintendent, however, the position was abolished a year later.
After the changes in the Estonian law of religion the local Methodist organisation was registered in 1935 as an independent church under the name of Methodist Episcopal Church in Estonia ().
As according to the new law all churches had to be governed locally, superintendent Prikask was elected an acting bishop but was never consecrated as one, so the spiritual episcopal authority continued to be exercised by bishop Raymond J.
A few months before the Soviet occupation, on 25 February 1940 the General Meeting of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Estonia adopted new statutes and a new name, Estonian Methodist Church ().
After a relative easing of restrictions on religious organisations during the German occupation (1941–1944) the religious life in Estonia became again subject to Soviet persecutions of religion.
In the Stalinist era there were unsuccessful attempts to liquidate the Estonian Methodist Church and make the members to join the Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Many congregations lost their buildings – in Tallinn one of the Methodist churches had been destroyed in a Soviet air raid in 1944 and the second church was taken over by the Soviet Army in 1950.
The Methodist congregation in Tallinn had to move to a little church of the Seventh-day Adventists they continued to share until 2000.
In 1968 when the United Methodist Church was founded, superintendent Aleksander Kuum from Estonia was able to take part in the founding conference in Dallas.
Since that time the Methodist Church in Estonia has been part of the Northern Europe Central Conference of the United Methodist Church.
From 1972 onwards the visits of Northern European bishops to Estonia became regular events, taking place once or twice a year.
Three years after Estonia regained freedom from the Soviet regime, the United Methodist Church founded the Baltic Methodist Theological Seminary for the purpose of training leaders for evangelism.
The seminary is now accredited as an institution of higher education in Estonia offering both one-year diploma certificate and a three-year degree programme in theology.
On 1 January 2007 the United Methodist Church in Estonia had 24 congregations and 4 ministry points with a total membership of 1,731.

Vermifilter toilets contain composting worms that digest faeces, thus reducing the accumulation rate, and significantly extending the frequency intervals for the removal of the solid waste.
Flushing water is required to dilute the ammonia produced from urine, and an aerobic environment must be provided, and the flush water must be able to drain away.
A typical pit latrine may need to be completely emptied or rebuilt after 2-3 years and often comes with smell and contamination issues.
A primary vermifilter provides primary treatment of the liquid effluent generated by humans and worms and decomposes the solids into humus.
Biofilcom, and GSAP Microflush toilet, also secured funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to develop vermifilter toilet technology in Africa.

Jean-Pierre-Louis Wenger (31 May 1809 in Lausanne – 11 August 1861 in La Vaux, commune of Aubonne) was a Swiss architect and politician from the canton of Vaud.
Upon his return to Switzerland, he started a political career and was a Radical Democratic deputy in the Grand Council of Vaud which he chaired six times between 1846 and 1861.
Moreover, Wenger sat in the Council of States from 1848 to 1849, then in the National Council from 1851 to 1854 and again in the Council of States from 1855 until his death in 1861.
As an architect, Wenger restored several important monuments such as the Chapel of St. Anthony, La Sarraz, the Reformed Church of Our Lady, Orny, and the rose of the Cathedral of Lausanne.
He may have built the church of Bussigny, but archive sources rather attribute this work to surveyor Samuel Cupelin and architect David Braillard.
Wenger also designed buildings for the Army and justice such as the first barracks of Bière and the women's prison in Lausanne.

Kemp Law Dun is a vitrified fort dating from the Iron Age situated near the town of Dundonald in South Ayrshire, Scotland.
The remains of the Iron Age fort or dun lie on the old Auchans Estate in the Dundonald Woods near the site of the old Hallyards Farm and the quarry of that name.
The footpath route known as the Smugglers' Trail through the Clavin Hills from Troon to Dundonald runs passed the ruins of the dun.
The place-name 'Kemp' is found elsewhere in the south of Scotland, such as at 'Kemp's Castle' on the Lugar Water near Auchinleck Castle and at Kemps Castle near Sanquhar in Dumfries and Galloway.
The antiquarian John Smith in 1895 visited Kemp Law and gives the place-name as meaning as 'battle hill' or 'warrior's grave'.
A number of other ancient fortifications are present in the area such as those at Hillhouse, Wardlaw Hill Fort Hillfort (NS35923276), Dun Donald Hillfort (NS36363451) and Harpercroft Hillfort Hillfort (NS36003252).
The scant remains of the chapel of St Mary and its associated holy well were still visible circa 1879 when Archibald Adamson visited Hallyards Farm.
The dun lies in a well defended position on a minor ridge, but the site has been much disturbed and robbed of stone for building drystone dykes, etc.
The walls of the dun were in a ruinous state and it was clear that no lime mortar had been used in its construction.
Thorbjorn Campbell refers to the mound as being formed from 'rubbish' and identifies an enclosing wall that runs round the edge of the promontory.
The stone walls are thought to have had timber interlacing and it is suggested that the deliberate burning of this timber resulted in the process of vitrification that supposedly strengthened the walls.
James Paterson recorded the presence of a fosse or ditch on the west facing side which was not well protected by a steep declavity like the others sides.
The fort was circular with a hollow passage covered with sandstone flags through which a person could crawl on hands and knees.
Extreme heating has been shown to weaken the structure and an act of destruction seems unlikley given that the walls to be vitrified would need carefully maintained fires for a lengthy period.
Deliberate destruction following capture of the site or some form of ritual destruction by the ruling chief as an act of closure at the end of its useful life are other possibilities.
Vitrified duns are the remains that have been set on fire, resulting in some of the stones' melting and binding together.
She has also worked as a presenter at other radio stations including Radio Bob, Kaya fm, Metro FM, 5FM and Highveld Stereo.
On 8 October 2019, it is known that she wrote a 6 page long letter to Nathi Mthethwa, the arts and culture minister, which was posted on Twitter.

A 1.97-metre tall who can play as a ruckman or key forward, McLean began his career in the TAC Cup before a season in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
He was recruited by Sydney on the eve of the 2019 season as a pre-season supplemental selection, and made his AFL debut later that year.
He also was a member of the AFL Academy – spending time at the Sydney Swans as part of the development program – and represented Vic Metro at the AFL Under 18 Championships.
McLean played 13 matches in 2018, averaging 5.2 marks, 10.3 hit-outs and 13.2 disposals and rucking against AFL-listed players including Matthew Leuenberger, Braydon Preuss and Zac Smith.
However, he was again overlooked and moved to Adelaide to play with South Australian National Football League (SANFL) club South Adelaide in 2019.
McLean was recruited by Sydney in March 2019 as a pre-season supplemental selection to cover the loss of defender Jack Maibaum to a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury.
McLean's selection was criticised by SANFL officials, as it deprived South Adelaide of an important recruit only a fortnight before their 2019 season began, leaving them unable to find a replacement in time.
McLean spent most of his first season in Sydney's North East Australian Football League (NEAFL) side, before a call-up to the AFL team in round 18 – a challenging match-up rucking alongside Robbie Fox against veteran Aaron Sandilands.

Norrland Artillery Battalion (, Artbat/I 19), originally Boden Artillery Regiment (, A 8) was an artillery unit within the Swedish Army that operated in various forms from 1919 to 2004.
The unit was raised on 10 September 1919, by a division of the Boden-Karlsborg Artillery Regiment (A 8), where the parts placed at Karlsborg formed Karlsborg Artillery Corps (A 10), and the parts placed at Boden Fortress formed Boden Artillery Regiment (A 8).
This was stated in the Defense Committee's report of 1945, which, prior to the Defence Act of 1948, suggested, among other things, that Norrbotten Artillery Corps (A 5) should be amalgamated with Boden Artillery Regiment (A 8).
Instead of cooling off the security policy situation in Europe after the war, a new security policy was initiated through the Cold War.
However, the Riksdag adopted the Defense Committee's proposal, which in practice meant that Norrbotten Artillery Corps was disbanded on 30 June 1951 and was amalgamated into the Boden Artillery Regiment.
In the 1960s, the regiment, as the only unit in Sweden, was supplied with 26 units of the Bandkanon 1 self-propelled artillery vehicle.
This resulted in the Boden Artillery Regiment becoming an A-unit (defence district regiment), and other units within the defence district becoming a B-unit (training unit).
Unique to Boden Artillery Regiment was that together with Uppland Regiment (S 1/Fo 47) and the Life Guard Dragoons (K 1/Fo 44), it was a defence district regiment.
On 1 July 1994, the defence district staff was separated from the regiment, and Boden Artillery Regiment then became a B-unit.
In traditional terms, Boden Artillery Regiment (A 8) was amalgamated with the disbanded Norrland Artillery Regiment (A 4), which was manifested at a ceremony on 31 December 1997, and from 1 January 1998 the name of Norrland Artillery Regiment (A 8) was adopted.
What was clearly ahead of the Defence Act was that Wendes Artillery Regiment (A 3) and Gotland Artillery Regiment (A 7) should be disbanded.
Which regiment was to be retained in the future organization was between Norrland Artillery Regiment (A 8) and Bergslagen Artillery Regiment (A 9).
What spoke for retaining A 8 was the direct proximity to training areas, as well as a possible garrison coordination and collaboration with primarily the Norrbotten Regiment and Norrbotten Brigade (MekB 19).
According to the Defence Act, the activities of the artillery battalion should as far as possible be a reflection of the Artillery Regiment (A 9), though on a smaller scale.
Bandkanon 1 was never adopted in the new organization, but began to be phased out and was completely discontinued in 2003.
The Defence Act of 2004 decided that the artillery regiment staff would be disbanded, and that the organization be reduced by three artillery battalions 77B, and that only one geographical location be retained for the training of artillery.
Furthermore, with Norrbotten Regiment (I 19), Boden was an integrated platform with training of several functions, and had a proximity to Norrbotten Air Force Wing (F 21) in Luleå.
On 31 December 2004, the battalion was disbanded, and from 1 January 2005, the battalion transitioned to a Decommissioning Organization until the disbandment was completed by 30 June 2006.
When the unit was raised in 1909 as Boden Artillery Battalion, it was located to a newly erected barracks area along the Åberg Trail.
This was in connection with the battalion being amalgamated into the Artillery Regiment, which had been relocated from Kristinehamn to Sveavägen in Boden from 31 December 2005.
In conjunction with Norrland Artillery Battalion amalgamated with the Artillery Regiment (A 9), the Artillery Regiment came to take over the traditions of the Norrland Artillery Regiment (A 4) and the Bodens Artillery Regiment (A 8).
A new colour was presented to the unit in Kristinehamn by His Majesty the King Carl XVI Gustaf on 15 April 2002.
The coat of the arms was used by Boden Artillery Regiment (A 8) from 1977 to 1997, the Norrland Artillery Regiment (A 8) from 1997 to 2000 and by the Norrland Artillery Battalion from 2000 to 2004.

Formerly the Sunset School, the site was purchased by the city of Carmel in 1965 with the plan to develop it into a cultural center.
In 1964, faced with the need for expensive earthquake preparedness improvements and limited space to expand, the Sunset School District opted to sell the school to the City of Carmel for $550,000 USD.
The city intended to turn the school into a performing arts center and the transaction was completed in 1965 through the passage of a bond measure.
The theatre was renovated from September 2001 to July 2002 using money from a public–private partnership; the City of Carmel paid $9 million USD while private donors contributed $13 million USD.
The LARES system, which cost around $300,000 USD, enhanced the volume of the performers, though many of the classic music groups using the venue were dissatisfied with it.
Currently, the Sunset Center is the home of the Carmel Adult School Pottery Studio, the Center for Photographic Art, the Forest Theater Guild, and the Yoga Center of Carmel.
Current producing partners of the center are the Monterey Symphony, the Carmel Music Society, Chamber Music Monterey Bay, and the Carmel Bach Festival.

Margaret Nairne, 2nd Baroness Nairne, later Countess of Nairne, (1669 - 14 November 1747) was a Scottish noblewoman at the turn of the 18th century and active in the Jacobite cause for its duration.
Her husband, William Murray, 2nd Lord Nairne, was condemned to death for his role in plans for a Scottish rebellion supported by neighbouring France; Lady Margaret travelled from Edinburgh to London to agitate in person for her husband's reprieve from execution, which was eventually successful.
Margaret was born in Edinburgh in 1669, the only child of Margaret Graham and Robert Nairne, Lord Strathord and 1st Lord Nairne.
Her first engagement was to Lord George Murray but this contract was nullified due to Lord George's ongoing poor health, and in 1690 Margaret married his brother William (b.
Because Margaret was sole heir to her family's title, upon their marriage her husband became the 2nd Lord Nairne and was elevated to the rank of earl.
All but one of the children were staunch Jacobites; son Robert was killed at the Battle of Culloden (16 April 1746) and daughter Margaret imprisoned the same year for her active support of the rebellion.
The Jacobite rising sought to restore the exiled House of Stuart to the throne in England, Scotland and Ireland and the Nairnes were active participants in the rebellion.
Margaret's husband and their eldest son, John, were captured at the Battle of Preston in November 1715 and taken to London on a charge of High Treason to await their fate; Lord Nairne was sent to the Tower of London and John to Newgate prison while Margaret immediately journeyed south to see them.
The difficulties and dangers of the rising did not appear to dampen Margaret's commitment to the Jacobite cause, and upon Bonnie Prince Charlie's return to Scotland in 1745 she entertained him at Nairne House.
Correspondence written by Margaret and her husband to family and friends over the course of the first half of the eighteen century document both their personal and political concerns, including £5,000 of domestic repairs after a fire at the family home which had 'a window for every day of the year'.
One series of letters written by Lady Margaret documents her journey to London to seek a royal audience in order to plead for her husband's release from the Tower where she lived with him for a time in 1716.

Pietru Pawl Saydon (24 July 1895 – 22 March 1971), was a Roman Catholic priest and scholar of the Maltese Language, other semitic languages and the Bible.
He is most noteworthy for his contributions to the Maltese language, and the translation of the Bible from the original Hebrew to Maltese.
at the age of 20. in 1919, he qualified with a degree in Canonical Law, and a subsequent Doctorate in Theology.
In 1919 he was also ordained as a priest, and the following year left for the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome, where he obtained a Licence in Holy Scriptures in 1923.
This was notable for the fact that he did this entirely on his own, where other translations were typically completed in teams.
Saydon was appointed Professor of Holy Scripture at the University of Malta, and contributed actively to a number of international conferences and congresses.
He also provided commentaries for six books of the Old Testament in a Commentary published under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Church in England.
Although Saydon was considered the only qualified person for professorship of Holy Scripture in the University, in 1924 then Rector appointed Father Ugo Callus, a philosopher, to the post.
This was a great disappointment for Saydon, but he was vindicated 7 years later when Callus left for Oxford in 1931.
The vacant position was filled by Saydon, and thus at the age of 31 he was appointed Professor of Holy Scripture (in both Hebrew and Biblical Greek).
Saydon was also pipped to the post for a Lectoral Minitry in the Cathedral Chapter by Monsignor Nerik Dandria, who despite his inexperience in scripture studies, had strong political backing.
Maltese people living through the 1960s in Malta associated Saydon with the Catholic Interdiction in Malta, and the standoff between the Church and the Malta Labour Party.
At the time of his personal setbacks after returning from his studies in Rome, he immersed himself into progressing the works of the University's Maltese Language Association, this having just been founded by two medic-poets, Rużar Briffa and Guze Bonnici.
When Briffa resigned from the Association as he was due to study abroad, Saydon was elected as President of the group.
This was around the time of a political debate in the country about whether Italian, English or indeed Maltese should be recognised as the national language of Malta.
In 1932, the Government at the time tried to return Italian as the national language, and ordered that Maltese should be written and taught in a fashion that would promote the use of the Italian Language.
The Association was then banned from holding any other meetings at the University, under the pretence of it being politically motivated.
Saydon's pastoral work was carried out without much fanfare - he was much loved by the villagers of Bengħisa, most of whom were farmers.
He would celebrate an early mass at 04:30 to enable them to hear mass before they started work in the fields, and would frequently visit them in their homes.
He would avoid large social gatherings, but would instead seek the company of his students, as well as members of the MUSEUM.
Saydon left the copyright of his translation of the Bible to the MUSEUM, which then went on to publish multiple editions.
A monument in his honour was unveiled on the hundredth anniversary of his birth, on 12 November 1995, in front of his namesake secondary school in Żurrieq.

Joylon Naegele writes that local social scientists believe that the inhabitants of Novi Pazar adopted a Slavic dialect more than 1000 years ago during the Illyrian era.

The Direct Vision Standard is a measure of how much HGV drivers can see from their cab directly (without the use of mirrors or video cameras).
From October 2020, Transport for London will require all HGVs over 12 tonnes entering London to have at least a one-star rating and from 2024 they will need at least a three-star rating.

Starting from a hexagonal crystal (which is the densest packed structure in 2D), the hexatic phase has a six-folded director field, similar to liquid crystals.
One of the transitions separates a solid phase with quasi-long range translational order and perfect long ranged orientational order from the hexatic phase.
The second phase transition separates the hexatic phase from the isotropic fluid, where both, translational and orientational order is short ranged.
The system is dominated by critical fluctuations, since for continuous transitions, the difference of energy between the thermodynamic phases disappears in the vicinity of the transition.
Fractals are characterized by a scaling invariance – they appear similar on an arbitrary scale or by arbitrarily zooming in (this is true on any scale larger than the atomic distance).
Unlike for melting in three dimensions, translational and orientational symmetry breaking does not need to appear simultaneously in 2D, since two different types of topological defects destroy the different types of order.
Michael Kosterlitz and David Thouless tried to resolve a contradiction about 2D crystals: on one hand side, the Mermin-Wagner theorem claims that symmetry breaking of a continuous order-parameter cannot exist in two dimensions.
The KTHNY theory shows implicitly that periodicity is not a sufficient criterion for a solid (this is already indicated by the existence of amorphous solids like glasses.
The double sum runs over all positions of particle pairs I and j and the brackets denote an average about various configurations.
The isotropic phase is characterized by concentric rings at formula_3, if formula_4 is the average particle distance calculated by the 2D particle density formula_5.
Unlike in 3D, where the peaks are arbitrarily sharp (formula_6-peaks), the 2D peaks have a finite width described with a Lorenz-curve.
The structure factor of Figure 1 is calculated from the positions of a colloidal monolayer (crosses at high intensity are artefacts from the Fourier transformation due to the finite (rectangular) field of view of the ensemble).
To analyse melting due to the dissociation of dislocations, one starts with the energy formula_7 as function of distance between two dislocations.
An isolated dislocation in 2D is a local distortions of the six-folded lattice, where neighbouring particles have five- and seven nearest neighbours, instead of six.
The main contribution stems from the logarithmic term (the first one in the brackets) which describes, how the energy of a dislocation pair diverges with increasing distance.
Since the shortest distance between two dislocations is given approximatively by the average particle distance formula_14, the scaling of distances with formula_14 prevents the logarithm formula_16 to become negative.
To create a dislocation from an undisturbed lattice, a small displacement on a scale smaller than the average particle distance formula_14 is needed.
The discrete energy associated with this displacement is usually called core energy Energie formula_19 and has to be counted for each of the formula_20 dislocations individually (last term).
An easy argument for the dominating logarithmic term is, that the magnitude of the strain induced by an isolated dislocation decays according mit formula_21 with distance.
The logarithmic distance dependence of the energy is the reason, why KTHNY-theory is one of the few theories of phase transitions which can be solved analytically: in statistical physics one has to calculate partition functions, e.g.
For the majority of problems in statistical physics one can hardly solve the partition function due to the enormous amount of particles and degrees of freedoms.
This is different in KTHNY theory due to the logarithmic energy functions of dislocations formula_7 and the e-function from the Boltzmann factor as inverse which can be solved easily.
This mean distance formula_27 tends to zero for low temparatures – dislocations will annihilate and the crystal is free of defects.
The dimensionless quantity formula_32 is a universal constant for melting in 2D and is independent of details of the system under investigation.
The strain field of an isolated dislocation will be shielded and the crystal will get softer in the vicinity of the phase transition; Young’s modulus will decrease due to dislocations.
In KTHNY theory, this feedback of dislocations on elasticity, and especially on Young’s modulus acting as coupling constant in the energy function, is described within the framework of renormalization group theory.
If a 2D crystal is heated, ``virtual´´ dislocation pairs will be excited due to thermal fluctuations in the vicinity of the phase transition.
Virtual means, that the average thermal energy is not large enough to overcome (two times) the core-energy and to dissociate (unbind) dislocation pairs.
In QED, the charge of the electron is shielded due to virtual electron-positron pairs due to quantum fluctuations of the vacuum.
Roughly spoken one can summarize: If the crystal is softened due to the presence of virtual pairs of dislocation, the probability (fugacity) formula_33 for creating additional virtual dislocations is enhanced, proportional to the Boltzmann factor of the core-energy of a dislocation formula_34.
David Nelson, Bertrand Halperin and independently Peter Young formulated this in a mathematically precise way, using renormalization group theory for the fugacity and the elasticity: In the vicinity of the continuous phase transition, the system becomes critical – this means that it becomes self-similar on all length scales formula_35.
Executing a transformation of all length scales by an factor of formula_36, the energy formula_37 and fugacity formula_38 will depend on this factor, but the system has to appear identically, simultaneously due to the self similarity.
The softening of the system after a length scale transformation (zooming out to visualize a larger area implies to count more dislocations) is now covered in a renormalized (reduced) elasticity.
It measures the ratio of the repelling energy between two particles and the thermal energy (which was constant in this experiment).
The sign of the interaction gives attraction or repulsion for the winding numbers formula_55 and formula_56 of the five- and seven-folded disclinations in a way that ``charges´´ with opposite sign have attraction.
The squared distance of two disclinations can be calculated the same way, as for dislocations, only the prefactor, denoting the coupling constant, has to be changed accordingly.
Figure 3 shows measurements of the orientational stiffness of a colloidal monolayer; Frank's constant drops below this universal constant at formula_60.
Continuous phase transitions (or second order phase transition following Ehrenfest notation) show critical fluctuations of ordered and disordered regions in the vicinity of the transition.
The red curve shows a fit of experimental data covering the critical behaviour; the critical exponent is measured to be formula_71.
The increasing shielding of orientational stiffness due to disclinations has not to be taken into account – this is already done by dislocations which are frequently present at formula_60.
For short range particle interaction (hard discs), simulations found a weakly first order transition for the hexatic – isotropic transition, slightly beyond KTHNY-theory.
Pilar Paz Pasamar (February 13, 1932 - March 7, 2019) was a Spanish poet and writer whose work has been translated into Italian, Arabic, French, English and Chinese.
After the Spanish Civil War, the family settled in Madrid, where the daughters were enrolled in the Carmelites school on Fortuny Street.
In her first works, there are similarities to poems written by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, Rubén Darío, Antonio Machado, and Juan Ramón Jiménez.
Her poems evolved as she made literary friendships in her native Jerez with Juan Valencia and, above all, José Manuel Caballero Bonald, who became her first poetic mentor in Madrid circles.
The Cadiz group included other poets from the province, such as José Manuel Caballero Bonald, Julio Mariscal, and José Luis Tejada.
In 1952, Paz enrolled in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of Complutense University of Madrid, although she did not finish the degree.
Between 1951 and 1956, she published three books that would make her the youngest and most celebrated poet of the moment.
Carmen Conde included Paz in all her anthologies, and years later, she occupied a prominent place in the Italian-Spanish bilingual anthology prepared by Maria Roman Colangeli (1964).
In the Complutense University of Madrid, she related to students who were part of the TEU (Spanish University Theater), including Marcelo Arroitia, Jaime Ferrán, and José María Saussol Prieto.
On August 12, 1963 she made a speech at the Royal Hispanic-American Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters of Cádiz where she reflected on the role of the poet.
The author, until then isolated in Cádiz, slowly returned to the literary context through three movements related to postmodernism and democracy: Andalusian literature, the boom of female writing in the 1980s, and the poetry of in the tradition of José Ramón Ripoll.
The book tells the story of a farmer, Mr. Penny, and his animals who wish to win first place prizes at a fair.
Commentators from Women Write About Comics, and The Beat considered the scene a case of transmisogyny, that would trivialize the violence against trans people.

The Breadloaf Wilderness is one of eight wilderness areas in the Green Mountain National Forest in the U.S. state of Vermont.
It was created by the Vermont Wilderness Act of 1984 and later expanded by the New England Wilderness Act of 2006.
Roughly half of the Breadloaf Wilderness, from its southern boundary at Middlebury Gap to Mount Roosevelt in its interior, was bequeathed to Middlebury College by Joseph Battell (1839–1915), a philanthropist and environmentalist from Middlebury, Vermont, in 1915.
It was the sale of these lands that prompted the Federal government to create the northern unit of the Green Mountain National Forest.
The Long Trail traverses through the heart of the Breadloaf Wilderness, from Middlebury Gap to Lincoln Gap at its northern edge.
This section of the Long Trail crosses at least ten peaks above , the highest of which is Bread Loaf Mountain at .
Additional access to the wilderness is provided by numerous side trails including (from south to north) the Burnt Hill Trail, the Skylight Pond Trail, the Emily Proctor Trail, the Clark Brook Trail, and the Cooley Glen Trail.

The Fife Junior Football League was a football league competition operated in Fife under the Scottish Junior Football Association which operated as the top league in the territory until a merger in 2002; it existed for a further four years as a second-tier league before the name was discontinued in 2006.
It continued during World War I and had periods where there were sufficient numbers involved to have West and East sections whose winners would play off for the title.
Due to anticipated problems with travelling distances, the Fife clubs chose not to join the Intermediate dispute of the late 1920s, instigated by clubs in the West of Scotland who broke away from the SJFA.
The league stopped for six seasons during World War II and lost a number of member teams in the late 1940s, but was still being contested in 1968, being considered sufficiently strong to form one of six 'regions' across Scotland in a re-organisation of Junior football at that time.
The Fife area suffered from an economic decline in the subsequent decades, owing to the collapse of the mining industry which had provided the main source of employment in most towns and villages, with several teams folding and others struggling to continue as small isolated communities became impoverished and residents moved away.
As membership of the Fife League fell steadily, a few well-run clubs who had joined more recently than its oldest members became dominant, and in 2002 these teams were invited to form the new regional Superleague in the east of the country along with the leading teams in the East (Lothians) League and the Tayside League.
Fife's setup was retained as a feeder division to the Superleague along with the other historic districts until 2006, when they were fully integrated into the East Region; Fife's section became the Central Division below the Super League and a new Premier Division, but it was disbanded in 2013, meaning the county was no longer represented separately in the Junior grade.
He made his List A debut on 15 December 2019, for Saracens Sports Club in the 2019–20 Invitation Limited Over Tournament.
The Joseph Battell Wilderness is one of eight wilderness areas in the Green Mountain National Forest in the U.S. state of Vermont.
The wilderness area, created by the New England Wilderness Act of 2006, is named in honor of Joseph Battell (1839–1915), a philanthropist and environmentalist from Middlebury, Vermont.
There are numerous mountains in the area with altitudes of at least , including (from south to north to east): the Great Cliffs (), Mount Horrid (), Cape Lookoff Mountain (), Gillespie Peak (), Romance Mountain (), Worth Mountain (), Monastery Mountain (), and Philadelphia Peak ().
It was the sale of these lands that prompted the Federal government to create the northern unit of the Green Mountain National Forest.
The Long Trail crosses the entire length of the Joseph Battell Wilderness from Brandon Gap on its south edge to Middlebury Gap on its north edge.

Sheep pens from the Spanish colonial and Mexican period, have been found at an archeological site, Corrales de Contadero (LA 31735, Río Abajo Site No.
In the 19th century, with Fort Craig, located across the river, providing protection from Apache attacks and providing employment, a small town named Contadero was established in the vicinity of the Corrales de Contadero in the 1860's along the river on the south side of the mesa.
It gradually declined, especially after 1895 when plans to develop a dam down river doomed the fields of the towns farmers along the river.
Within a few years the Elephant Butte Reservoir rose and covered the fields in the river valley and the town of Contadero, was abandoned.
Today there are only few remains of the settlement amongst the brush west of the railroad tracks, the ruin of the church and foundations of a house surrounded by Mexican era rock corrals.
On 17 December 2019, a special court, composed of Chief Justice of the Peshawar High Court (PHC) Waqar Ahmed Seth, Nazar Akbar of the Sindh High Court (SHC), and Shahid Karim of the Lahore High Court (LHC), found Musharraf guilty of high treason and sentenced him to death.
On 31 July 2009, a 14-judge bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan declared Gen Pervez Musharraf's action of declaring emergency in November 2007, as illegal and unconstitutional in the PCO Judges case's verdict.
On 5 April 2013, the Supreme Court accepted a petition filed against Musharraf that accused him of committing treason under Article 6 of the Constitution.
A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry was constituted to begin hearing the case from 8 April 2013.
On 8 April 2013, a two-member bench led by Justice Jawwad S. Khawaja summoned Musharraf and ordered that his name be put on the Exit Control List (ECL).
On 24 June 2013, in the National Assembly of Pakistan, the-then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said that his government intends to file a written request before the Supreme Court to put Musharraf on trial for treason under Article 6 of the Constitution.
On 18 November 2013, the Supreme Court accepted the Sharif government's request to set up a Special Court to try Musharraf under Section 2 of the High Treason (Punishment) Act 1973 of the constitution.
On 19 November 2013, Sharif approved the names of SHC Justice Faisal Arab, BHC Justice Tahira Safdar and LHC Justice Muhammad Yawar Ali for the Special Court set up under Section 4 of the Criminal Law Amendment (Special Courts) Act 1976.

Over the centuries, the family left several historical traces in Italy, especially in Tuscany, also because they maintained close friendships with the Catholic Church.
The first sources date back to 1321, the year in which Pietro Bianciardi became a monk of the Camaldolese order, an order of scholars founded in 1009 by people of a certain economic power.
Another testimony of power we find in 1358, in which the father Giovanni Bianciardi is one of the members that approves the Statutes of reformation of the Government of the Florentine Republic, in Florence.
Until then, the Palazzo was used as a holiday residence, preferring instead to settle in the high social class of Florence.
With the death of Bartolomeo Bianciardi, the family committed each year to distribute 10 scudi to the poors of the town.
In the late XVI century, the Monitore Fiorentino honor this family as an example of honest and rich citizens that performed help to the indigences with alms.
In effect on his journey to Rome, the Pope used to stay at the palace (he even had a room of his own).
Out of gratitude, he will provide the de Medici coat of arms in the Palazzo (still present next to the family crest).
To date, some members of the Bianciardi family continue to live there, one of them is also a municipal assessor, today.
There is a papal bull which attests that in the chapel of this noble family it is possible to confer the plenary indulgence on the day of St. Francis (4 October) and on the day of the forgiveness of Assisi (1 August).

She is one of two women ministers in the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) Government and holds the post Minister for Culture.
Hamdi is an outspoken campaigner for Sahrawi women's rights, the value of cultural heritage and the importance of education to young people, especially those, like many Sahrawi who are displaced from their homeland.
Her work in these areas encourages international support for Sahrawi self-determination and in 2009 Hamdi led the delegation to the 2nd Pan-African Cultural Festival, held in Algiers.
During the festival, Hamdi publicly called on the Kingdom of Morocco to obey international law to enable self-determination and independence for the Sahrawi people.
She has been a vocal critic of the government of Morocco and their treatment of Sahrawi political prisoners, especially about a media black-out that was imposed on a group of 24 activists in 2013.
She has travelled widely discussing Sahrawi rights and the rights of Sahrawi women - women who have often taken up leadership roles within refugee camps.
She praised the support the Nigerian government was giving the struggle for independence and commented on how women from all countries in Africa needed to work together to claim, support and expand their human and civil rights.
Hamdi had previously led, with her colleague Zahra Ramdan, the 2003 delegation of the National Union of Saharawi Women on their tour of political party conferences in the UK.
This tour lasted nineteen days and they canvassed support for the Sahrawi cause and met with political leaders including Tony Blair, Jack Straw and Glenys Kinnock.
She was part of a wider discussion which included Nouria Hafs, the Secretary General of the National Union of Algerian Women, and Saida Benhabilès, the President of the Algerian Women's Movement for Solidarity with Rural Women.
Hamdi had previously led a 2003 delegation of Sahrawi women to the Algerian Popular Assembly, and met with its president Karim Younes.
Educating young people about Sahrawi heritage and culture and the access of Sahrawi young people to wider educational opportunities are important areas that Hamdi supports.
In 2001, Hamdi supported the delegation of Scouting and Guiding in Western Sahara to attend an international forum that eleven young people from the organisation attended.
She has spoken out publicly about the power of culture, both in terms of identity politics in Western Sahara, but also in term of how art or poetry can be a catalyst for the cause of self-determination.
In 2008, Hamdi petitioned Koïchiro Matsuura, Director General of UNESCO, to support educational programmes in Sahrawi refugee camps, as well as supporting work to preserve and promote their cultural heritage for the future.
She launched the 12th festival in 2015 jointly with SADR Prime Minister Abdelkader Taleb Omar and Dennis Thokozani Dlomo, who is South Africa's ambassador to Algeria.
In 2008, Hamdi visited Austria, where a team from GEZA were working to build a National Electronic Archive for Western Sahara.
In 2013, Hamdi travelled to Finland to raise awareness about women's rights in Western Sahara, especially in refugee camps and to open a new exhibition of artwork by Sahrawi artist Fadel Jalifa.
In November 2011 it was rumoured that a CD-ROM was being sent around refugee camps and on it were details of financial missappropiation of humanitarian aid, led by the Khadidja Hamdi.

Markze has worked at ASU since then, with a 9 year break from 1986 to 1995 when she worked as an anatomist at the Primate Foundation of Arizona.
Markze has made a number of discoveries including her work that has demonstrated the links between precision gripping, tool behaviors, and hand morphology.
Markze used experimental manufacturing of prehistoric hominin tools, behavior studies of chimpanzees, and morphological analysis,  to help discern which pre-modern human species were capable of tool-making.
According to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, between 2005 and 2014, Briones Ruiz and his network were responsible for cocaine trafficking from Mexico to the U.S., smuggling the cash proceeds back into Mexico, conducting money laundering from these earnings, and structuring financial activities to hide the illegal nature of his earnings.
He did this through his family-run gasoline company, Combustibles Briones, S.A. de C.V. A fugitive from U.S. justice, Briones Ruiz faces up to life imprisonment and up to US$10 million in fines from his drug trafficking activities alone.
He owns several hotels and a Matamoros-based gas company, Combustibles Briones, S.A. de C.V., which is located on the highway connecting Matamoros with Reynosa.
According to the Public Registry of Property and Commerce (RPPC), Briones Ruiz registered Combustibles Briones, S.A. de C.V. as a commercial entity in 2009.
That year, Combustibles Briones, S.A. de C.V. opened up a Pemex station at their location but were only licensed short-term by Pemex to operate.
In January 2016, Pemex granted Combustibles Briones, S.A. de C.V. a license to sell their standard and premium gasoline, effectively superseding the short-term license they owned.
The licence allowed for Combustibles Briones, S.A. de C.V. to operate for 30 years should they follow the conditions stipulated in the contract.
Among the conditions were for Combustibles Briones, S.A. de C.V. to ensure safety regulations, product control standards, insurance requirements, and that financial reports and transactions were kept for record-keeping.
Tex) filed a sealed indictment against Briones Ruiz and three of his collaborators: Beattie Martínez, Rogelio Nieto González (his brother-in-law), and an unnamed individual.
According to the indictment, Briones Ruiz and his network conspired to smuggle with intent to distribute over of cocaine from Mexico to the U.S. between 1 January 2005 and 22 October 2014.
Briones Ruiz and his wife were believed to have structured their transactions to hide the nature of their criminal activities; if found guilty, they faced up to ten years in prison and US$500,000 in fines.
Briones Ruiz and the rest of his network are from Matamoros and U.S. authorities believe they are not residing in the U.S.
It included information from a joint investigation from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Texas Department of Public Safety, Cameron County District Attorney's Office, the Cameron County Sheriff's Office, the Willacy County Sheriff's Office, and the Texas police departments of San Benito, Harlingen, Port Isabel, and Brownsville, across the border from Matamoros.
The economic sanction extends to four of Briones Ruiz's collaborators: Nieto González, Beattie de Briones, Ruiz Carrión and Claudia Aidé Briones Ruiz (his sister).
The sanction also extends to his company, Combustibles Briones, S.A. de C.V. As part of the sanction, the U.S. government prohibited U.S. citizens from engaging in business activities with these entities and individuals, and froze all of their U.S.-based assets.
His network used Combustibles Briones, S.A. de C.V. to launder the Gulf Cartel's proceeds in Mexico and the U.S., where they deposited some of their earnings in Texan bank accounts.
Investigators stated that Briones Ruiz is the head of the criminal network and uses his family to further the Gulf Cartel's operations.
In a criminal court, Briones Ruiz (facing trial as a corporate officer of Combustibles Briones, S.A. de C.V.) would face up to 30 years in prison and up to US$5 million in fines.
His corporation can face up to US$10 million in fines if a court determines that it participated in the stimulated charges.
Briones Ruiz has an outstanding arrest warrant for his arrest in the U.S.; they have not issued a formal extradition request.
On 10 July 2019, Mexico's Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) informed the Attorney General's Office (FGR) of the existence of eight gas stations that were suspected of being involved in money laundering.
In order to limit their suspected laundering activities, the Mexican government froze all Mexican bank accounts owned by Briones Ruiz, his sister and that of Combustibles Briones, S.A. de C.V.

The fruits are large and thick walled, often exceeding over a foot in length, and they are almost exclusively used to produce roasted green chili in New Mexican cuisine.
The Big Jim pepper cultivar was developed at New Mexico State University by Dr. Roy Nakayama, a son of Japanese immigrants and a man who had once been denied entry into NMSU because of his ethnicity.
The Big Jim is a hybrid of New Mexican chilies and a Peruvian pepper that was developed at New Mexico State University by Dr. Nakayama in 1975 in cooperation with Jim Lytle, the person for whom this chili pepper is named.
The Big Jim chili holds the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest chili pepper in the world, with individual fruits routinely exceeding 14 inches in length.
In common with most New Mexico chili cultivars, Big Jim chilies are somewhat variable in their fruiting, and produce individual peppers of varying heat, with most of the peppers being very mild (500 SHU), and an occasional medium pepper (3,000 SHU).
The Spingler Building (also Springler Building or 5 Union Square West) is an eight-story Romanesque building at 5–9 Union Square West, between 14th and 15th Streets, in the Union Square neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.
Built in 1897 by William H. Hume & Son, it replaced a five-story building of the same name, which burned down in 1892.
The Spingler Building occupies an L-shaped lot wrapping around 15 Union Square West to the north, and is also adjacent to the Lincoln Building to the south.
Union Square was first laid out in the Commissioners' Plan of 1811, expanded in 1832, and then made into a public park in 1839.
The completion of the park led to the construction of mansions surrounding it, which were largely replaced with commercial enterprises following the American Civil War.
Despite this, the Spingler and Van Buren families continued to own the land under the western side of Union Square until 1958, leasing it out to various people.
The Spingler Institute for Young Ladies, founded in 1843, was located at 5 Union Square West from 1848 until , at which point it was turned into the Spingler Hotel.
The original Spingler Building, a five-story loft and commercial structure on the site of the hotel, was completed in 1878 at a cost of $115,000.
In 1892, the structure burned down in a fire that destroyed everything below the second floor, but only caused minor damage to its neighbors: the Lincoln Building (to the south) and 15 Union Square West.
On July 17, 1895, James L. Libby & Son leased 5–9 Union Square West as well as the adjacent 20 East 15th Street.
This was followed in 1906 by Henry Hart of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, though Hart seems to have moved out the following year.
Besides Aronson's firm, other garment companies seem to have occupied the Spingler Building in the early 20th century, including the London Button Company.
In the late 1990s, the supply store chain Staples announced that it would open a location on Union Square West between 14th and 15th Streets, within of space across two floors.
Just before the store's opening, a particular point of contention was the presence of several large signs, including a lighted sign with letters; four vertical signs on the facade; and a bright red background behind some of the store windows.
The Union Square Business Improvement District had requested that Staples reduce the size of these signs in January 1997, saying that the signs might be visually distracting.
The New York City Department of Buildings had approved and then revoked the signs' permits, but even after the permit was rescinded, Staples erected the signs anyway, The dispute resulted in Staples being issued a summons for the New York City Criminal Court, and by the end of the year, the signs had been dismantled.
The facade of the two-story base is of limestone; the five-story shaft is made of brick with terracotta detailing; and the one-story capital is made of terracotta.

The Maestà of Santa Maria dei Servi is a tempera and gold on panel painting by Cimabue or his workshop, dating to c.1280-1285, between his Louvre Maestà (c.1280) on the one hand and the Assisi frescoes (1288-1292) and the Santa Trinita Maestà (c.1290-1300) on the other.
Thode, Strzygowsi, Zimmermann, Aubert, Suida, Weigelt, Offner, Chiappelli, Supino, Venturi, Toesca, Berenson, Sandberg Vavalà, Lavagnino, Becherucci, Volpe, Venturoli, Tartuferi and Bellosi all argued that it was a wholly autograph work by Cimabue, though Sirén and Coletti were more doubtful.
Salmi, Longhi, Ragghianti, Samek, Ludovici, Battisti, Bologna and Marques accept Cimabue's authorship but argued for heavy participation by his workshop, whilst Nicholson, Sinibaldi, Savini and Lazarev argued it was a wholly studio work.
As a prominent member of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), she received from them the Hunger Strike Medal after going on a hunger strike in prison during which she was force-fed.
In her later years she resided in California in the United States before emigrating to Australia where spent her last years.
After joining the Ealing branch of the Women's Social and Political Union Gatty became a militant suffragette, on one occasion chaining herself to the gates at Hyde Park.
In November 1911 Gatty was sentenced to three weeks imprisonment in Holloway Prison after taking part in a campaign of window smashing after the government 'torpedoed' the anticipated Conciliation Bill which was seen as a progressive step towards achieving women's suffrage.
In Holloway she went on hunger strike for which action she received a Hunger Strike Medal from the leadership of the WSPU.
In January 1912 she was again arrested while causing a disturbance when women had been excluded from the trial of Emily Davison, but this time she was released without charge.
Gatty was a close friend of fellow-suffragette Davison (in May 1913 Gatty invited Davison for tea) who was killed when she ran in front of the horse of Edward VII at the 1913 Derby.
In March 1912 Gatty took part in a further campaign of window smashing in March 1912 on behalf of the WSPU for which she was sentenced to six months imprisonment for smashing glass valued at £42.
At her trial she said that men were allowed to break women’s hearts and homes without punishment and contrasted her sixth month sentence for minor property damage to the two month sentence an Edinburgh man received for breaking his wife’s skull.
On her release from prison in August 1911 she was immediately rearrested for smashing a window at the post office in Abergavenny in Wales, stating that she had done so to protest against the exclusion of women from such official lists as the electoral register.
In the latter stages of 1912 Gatty became Secretary to the Suffrage Atelier (SA), an organisation of suffrage artists in London who created and printed postcards, posters and banners for the women's suffrage movement.
By 1913 Gatty was an organiser for the National Amalgamated Union of Shop Assistants, Warehousemen and Clerks while in her later years she had links to the Communist Party, regularly corresponding with the journalist and activist Anna Louise Strong.
In total she was imprisoned nine times for her activities on behalf of women's suffrage and the movement to abolish capital punishment.
Gatty was an active member of the International Coordination Committee for Aid to Republican Spain, and was one of the organisers of the Co-operative Party in England in addition to being a lifelong advocate of Irish Home Rule.
In January 1893 in St Mary’s church in Islington she married William Lewis Reid (1858–1923) of the Reid & Sons family of silversmiths.
She and Manson lived together as husband and wife and Reid alleged she had given birth to Manson's child in 1898.
In September 1934 Gatty, representing Action Feministe Internationale, attended a conference on 'Ethiopia and Justice' organised by Sylvia Pankhurst at the Central Hall, Westminster.
Emma Katharine Gillett-Gatty emigrated to Strathfield in New South Wales Australia in 1947, and here she died in 1952 aged 81.

On 19 November he was stepped up in class for the Grade 3 Tokyo Sports Hai Nisai Stakes over 1800 metres at Tokyo Racecourse when he started at odds of 7.1/1 and finished second, beaten a neck by Bless Journey.
In the official Japanese rankings for 2016, Suave Richard was rated the fifth-best two-year-old colt, four pounds behind the top-rated Satono Ares.
Suave Richard made his three-year-old debut in the Tokinominoru Kinen (a trial race for the Satsuki Sho) over 1800 metres at Tokyo on 12 February and started the 2.1/1 second favourite.
Ridden by Hirofumi Shii he settled behind the leaders before staying on in the straight, taking the lead in the last 200 metres and drawing away to win by two and a half lengths from Etre Digne.
In the 77th running of the Satsuki Sho at Nakayama Racecourse on 26 April he started second choice in the betting but although he finished strongly he was never able to reach the leaders and came home sixth behind Al Ain.

Originally known for Antarctic krill oil production, the company now operates an industrial-scale licensed cannabis processing plant in Quebec, CA, and a hemp processing facility in North Carolina in the U.S.
In 2003, after constructing a new facility in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Neptune launched its first product, Neptune Krill Oil, creating a new omega-3 category, manufactured using acetone as a solvent.
Following the accident, the company spent two years rebuilding the plant and was required to meet several safety conditions before resuming production in 2014.
In 2017, Neptune essentially exited the bulk krill oil manufacturing and distribution business, selling its client list to its main competitor, Aker BioMarine of Oslo, Norway, for $34 million.
The company invested the proceeds of the sale toward the $70 million conversion project of its Sherbrooke facility to process cannabis biomass using new cold-ethanol technology and rebranded to Neptune Wellness Solutions.
Neptune was licensed by Health Canada in January 2019 to enter the cannabis market, allowing the company to manufacture and purify cannabis extracts and oil.
After receiving the license, the company entered into a three-year contract with Canadian companies The Green Organic Dutchman and Tilray, securing cannabis and hemp biomass for extraction of crude resin, winterized oil, and distillate extracts for their products.
Made from Antarctic krill, a sustainable and non-genetically-modified source of omega-3 fatty acids, Neptune’s krill-based supplements are available to consumers in the U.S. and Canada for direct purchase or through its distributors.
The company is involved in all aspects of product production, including farmer collaboration during the growth cycle to processing, formulating, testing, packaging and distributing finished products to customers.

While the history of the Jews in Bosnia and Herzegovina dates back to the Expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492, Jews did not settle in Zenica until 1750.
By 1885, the community had built a synagogue next to the local bazaar and a Jewish cemetery outside of the city.
In 1910 the Jewish community in Zenica was 297, with about 200 living in the city on the eve of the Invasion of Yugoslavia.
185 members of the Zenica Jewish community were killed in the Holocaust, and those who returned to their homes after the war were unable to rebuild the demolished synagogue building themselves, so the building took on other roles.

The Mosaic ceiling of the Florence Baptistery is a set of mosaics covering the internal dome and apses of the Baptistery of Florence.
It is one of the most important cycles of medieval Italian mosaics, created between 1225 and around 1330 using designs by major Florentine painters such as Cimabue, Coppo di Marcovaldo, Meliore and the Maestro della Maddalena, probably by mosaicists from Venice.
The works continued until the start of the 14th century, ending around 1330, as reported by a passage in the work of Giovanni Villani.
According to Vasari the earliest mosaics was by Andrea Tafi, a semi-legendary figure, who produced the angelic hierarchies and the Pantocrator assisted by Apollonio, a Greek he had met in Venice.
It is impossible to confirm Vasari's account, though the earliest mosaics are also the most similar to those in San Marco Basilica, Santa Maria Assunta Basilica, other Venetian lcoations and Rome's San Paolo fuori le Mura, where the Venetian masters also worked after being summoned by Pope Honorius III in 1218.
Most art historians now attribute the compositions to a number of Tuscan artists but their realisation to mosaicists from Venice or the eastern Mediterranean.
Stylistic analogies with painted works enable links with the best 13th century masters, their collaborators, Giotto and the 'proto-Giottists' such as the so-called Last Master of the Baptistery identified by Roberto Longhi.
The double arch over the altar is decorated with busts of Christ, the Virgin Mary, the apostles and prophets, divided into compartments and decorated with leaves, possibly later work from the end of the 13th century.
On the rectangular apse is a frieze with cherubim and seraphim between clipei, over which are the vault mosaics by Brother Jacopo, which show some connection with those in San Marco Basilica in Venice.
At either end are mixti-linear figures with inscribed tablets above them – on these are four very ornate capitals in lively colours with very articulated lines, on which stand four telamons, folded to look like wheels.
The telamons have a lively plasiticity and resemble sculptures by the studio of Benedetto Antelami on the facade of Fidenza Cathedral.
To the left side of the telamons is an enthroned John the Baptist and to the right the Madonna and Child enthroned – both those panels are heavily restored, particularly the heads.
The wheel's structure structure is formed of classical swirls with rays containing candelabra, whose fantastical composition seem to anticipate 15th and 16th century grotesque art.
Between the rays are eight full-length depictions of prophets in Byzantine style with name labels at their feet – anticlockwise these are Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Daniel, Ezekiel, Jermiah and Isaiah.
The upper frieze (2) shows the angelic hierarchies around all eight segments, whilst the rest of three segments (1) shows the Last Judgement, dominated by a huge figure of Christ, under whose feet is shown the resurrection of the dead.
The other five segments are subdivided into four horizontal registers showing (from top to bottom) stories from the Book of Genesis (3) and the lives of Joseph (4), the Virgin Mary (5), Christ (5) and John the Baptist (6).
The first scenes from the Baptist's life are thought to be from cartoons by the Master of the Maddalena and Cimabue.
The closest part to the centre of the dome contains a series of frames with lively plant-form decoration, followed by a band with spirals and rhythmic figurative images reminiscent of the wheel in the apse – in each corner is a kind of vase made of fantastical plant elements, aligned to small columns in the lowest register.
Where the symmetrical volutes join and above the central elements are small heads between clipei and under the volutes are elaborate fountains, from which deer, peacocks, rams, herons and other animals drink, all based on early Christian art.
At the centre is Christ Blessing, with an open book in his hand and flanked by red seraphim and blue cherubim, with the closest to him distinct in having three pairs of wings.
According to Pietro Toesca, the artist behind the first register was the same brother Jacopo who worked on the rectangular apse, assisted by Venetian masters.
The angelic hierarchies are traditionally attributed to Andrea Tafi and Apollonio, though Ragghianti argues Coppo di Marcovaldo produced the cartoon for the figure of Christ and the Master of the Maddalena that for the Powers.
The three segments above the altar show the Last Judgement, with the centre almost completely filled by a figure of Christ the Judge seated on the Circles of Paradise and holding out his hands, showing his wounds from the Crucifixion, one facing palm up and the other palm down, directing souls to heaven and hell respectively.
The large feet also show the wounds from the Crucifixion – their staggered pose, the robe's complex pleats and the side view of the legs avoid a rigid frontal effect, highlighted with golden tesserae.
Either side of the mandorla are three parallel registers, with two almost symmetrical hosts of angels at the top bearing symbols of Christ's passion and attributes of the Judgement, along with two angels sounding the last trumpet of the Apocalypse summoning the dead from their graves at Christ's feet.
In the second register are the Virgin Mary (with raised hands to Christ's right), John the Baptist (holding a scroll to Christ's left) and the twelve apostles seated on two long benches decorated as thrones.
Each apostle holds an open book with characters from a different alphabet to show their taking the Gospel to the whole world after Pentecost.
The lower register shows Paradise to the right and Hell to the left, with the souls taken to their destinations by angels and devils.
In the city three large patriarchs sit holding small sweetbreads in their laps amidst extraordinary colourful plants in a green flower-dotted meadow, the latter symbolised by a band.
In the front row of the elect are a king and a Dominican monk, followed by three virgins, bishops, a monk and a priest.
Art historians unanimously attribute the composition of the scene of Hell to Coppo di Marcovaldo, with less skillful areas by other hands.
Hell is dominated by a large Satan on a flaming throne, eating a man and trampling the damned while snakes growing out of his ears bite at them.
Satan's ass's ears underline his feral nature and are attributes of Lucifer and the Antichrist, whilst his horns derive from the Celtic god Cernunnos and symbolise the Church's defeat of paganism.
Devils also throw the damned into pits, impale and mutilate them, burn them on spits, throw them around and force them to drink molten gold.
The Baptistery is dedicated to John the Baptist and the scenes from his life occupy the lowest register on the dome.
These show angels and saints and their style agrees with Giovanni Villani's written evidence, which dates their completion to 1330 and probably dates the start of work to around 1300–1315.There are no art historical studies specifically on the mosaics of the women's galleries, though Venturi briefly notes that they were produced after 1300.
The vault has a central motif of a starry sky, symbolic of the Empyrean, surrounded by angels with unclear attributes, possibly another set of angelic hierarchies.
A frieze of panels runs around the base of the dome, showing saints, dating to the late 14th century from drawings by Lippo di Corso.
The women's galleries instead bear panels of prophets and patriarchs, attributed to the late 13th century Gaddo Gaddi by Vasari, who also states they were produced without studio assistance, though modern art historians also recognise the hands of his workshop and Andrea Tafi in them.

Mary Magdalene with Eight Scenes from her Life is a c.1280-1285 tempera and gold on panel painting by the Master of the Maddalena, now in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence.
Its original provenance is unknown, but it was mentioned as being in the vestibule of the monastery library at Santissima Annunziata in guidebooks by Follini-Rastrelli and Moreni, as part of a group of works within the collection of Francesco Raimondo Adami, Vicar General of the Ordine dei Servi di Maria.
It is operated by the city's public housing authority, Home Forward, and is the largest public housing development in the state.
It occupies the northeast corner of the Portsmouth Neighborhood, bordered on the north by Columbia Blvd, on the east by Woolsey Avenue, on the south by Houghton Street, and on the west by Adriatic Avenue.
It is served by Rosa Parks Elementary School and the Charles Jordan Community Center, which hosts the North Portland chapter of the Boys & Girls Club.
The site of New Columbia was originally built as Columbia Villa in 1942 by Home Forward, then called the Housing Authority of Portland (HAP).
The Villa was built to house the influx of shipyard workers who came to the area as ship production expanded in response to World War II.
It would be one of two HAP worker housing projects that would survive after the war as low-income public housing, when the units were converted to low-income housing for veterans at the end of the war.
The project maintained a positive public image through the 1960s, being praised for its beauty in a 1962 issue of The Oregonian.
The shift in the 1970s has been attributed to changes in public housing regulations, persistent poverty, and the spread of heroin addiction.
A Portland Police gang detective reported that in 1987, a resident alerted him to the presence of members of the Californian 357 Crips in the Tamarack Apartments of Columbia Villa, who were later joined by members of other Californian Crips chapters, and began distributing crack cocaine in the area.
The arrival of the drug coincided with further decline in living conditions, as was the case in many public housing neighborhoods across the country.
The Villa was then the site of the city's first known drive-by shooting in 1988, when local Crips leader Joseph Ray Winston was murdered at a park on North Woolsey Avenue.
In response to rising crime in the neighborhood, the City of Portland, in cooperation with Multnomah County and the State of Oregon, initiated a Community Service Intervention Program focused on reducing crime and the fear of crime, and improving the quality of life in Columbia Villa.
The strategy was widely regarded as successful, and was used as a national model for improving public safety in crime-stricken neighborhoods.
In 1994, the HAP moved forward on a plan to completely demolish and rebuild the area with $35 million in funding secured from a federal HOPE VI grant, as well as funding from other sources that brought the project total to $151 million.
The HAP cited substandard housing and infrastructure, as well as the street layout's inherently isolating effect on the neighborhood, as factors in the necessity for a complete rebuild.
Residents were given the choice between transferring to other public housing or receiving a Section 8 voucher to use in securing privately owned rental housing.
In all, the cost of relocation services totaled approximately $4.25 million, with 74 percent of residents opting to receive section 8 vouchers, 23 percent moving to other public housing options, and 3 percent choosing to forego further housing assistance.
Residents were still affected by other disruptive factors, such as the fact that 46% of school-age children who relocated had to change schools.
Concrete and asphalt from old home foundations and street surfaces were salvaged and ground into fill material for structures and road bases in the new construction.
The new construction replaced 462 units with 850 units, 200 of which were single-family houses that were sold at market prices.
Five different home builders were contracted to build the single-family homes, in an attempt to diversify the appearances of the houses.
One point of criticism was the HAP's decision to list homes at market value while leaving apartments as the only subsidized option for low-income residents.
Some residents have complained that important notices, including those that affect residency eligibility, are often distributed in English only, in spite of the high number of non-English speaking refugee families in the community.
In contrast, the Portland Police Bureau released statistics that showed a much lower crime rate within New Columbia compared to the greater Portsmouth neighborhood, indicating that the development's reputation as the center of criminal activity was no longer accurate.
The new complex experienced its first shooting murder in 2010, when a 17-year-old boy was shot in the back by another teenager.
Portland Police established the New Columbia Policing Team in 2012 in an effort to improve community perceptions of police through face-to-face interactions with residents, including during follow-up investigations.
A resident Home Forward employee who reported serving as an unofficial liaison between residents and police stated that the team's work had resulted in more residents reporting incidents directly to the police, rather than anonymously through her.
In 2013, officers assigned to the team came under public scrutiny for arresting a 9-year-old girl and taking her to police headquarters in Downtown Portland for fingerprinting and mugshots after she got in a fight with another child at the Boys & Girls Club.
The Resident Community Builder program allows residents in good standing to assist in organizing and facilitating community activities in exchange for sliding-scale financial compensation.
They also help facilitate other programs, such as the K-CHING Youth Employment Program, which is a paid work experience program for 11-17 year-olds in the community.
One historical problem faced by New Columbia was its status as a low-income community paired with its status, according to the city and the USDA, as a food desert.
Planners included a grocery retail space in the development, but its first two occupants, Big City Produce and AJ Java, went out of business.
The Market Gardener Program assists residents in using these plots to grow produce which can be sold at the New Columbia Farmers Market, the St. Johns Farmers Market, and Village Market.
The Portland Fruit Tree Project also worked alongside Village Gardens organizers to plant a community orchard of 20 fruit trees adjacent to the garden, as an addition to the garden project's existing stand of 14 trees.
The Oregon Food Bank organizes and provides assistance to local teenage volunteers to run a food bank program called New Columbia Harvest Share.
These stories featured a monster maths teacher, animal nannies, a barber that specialised in making rude children behave themselves, a giant that cannot stop growing, a magical hat, a magic book, magic scissors, and a sweet shop full of mannequins.
The Frightfully-Busy family lives in South London and knew nothing about each other: the parents were workaholics that had no time for their children and their children Tristram and Candy spent every day bullying their nanny, Mrs Mac, and tell their parents a different story the moment they came home.
One day, they claimed that she had beaten them with their father's expensive golf clubs which got Mrs Mac fired, but that would be the moment where troubles began.
Mrs Frightfully-Busy is devastated that they had to get rid of an old family friend as she looked through a telephone directory but discovers the Animal Magic agency.
30 minutes after booking, a talking python is on the doorstep wearing an apron and carrying a briefcase, but Mrs and Mrs Frightfully-Busy had no time for any briefing and left for work immediately after the python's entire long body was in the hallway.
The python tells Candy and Tristam to treat her as a human nanny, ironically consenting to the children's behaviour and removing any fear they had of snakes.
They burned her tail in boiling water, tied her up and dunked her head in the toilet, made her slither over thumbtacks, and left her in the garden for birds to peck at her.
When their parents arrived home at 6 pm, the python slithered out of the house as fast as she could, but when the parents confront the children, Tristram claims that the python tried to strangle him.
Tristram takes her to the bathroom and he and his sister splash and pour water over the spider, and then demand that she makes a climbing frame in the garden out of her web.
She weaves as the children order her to make it bigger until it stretched across two gardens and was as high as the chimney.
As she slept, the children tied her up in it and poked her with a stick until their parents came home.
After their father escorts her out in a wheelbarrow, the children sob that she tied them to the ceiling by their ankles.
Mrs Frightfully-Busy telephones another complaint the next morning and goes to work immediately after, leaving enough time for Tristram to wait at the front door with a bat.
The door knocks and Mr Frightfully-Busy finds Mrs Mac on the doorstep, who was hoping that his children had found a new nanny.
It lived in the nearby caves and every brave knight that attempted to slay it for (one thousand rupees) was never seen again.
There was going to be a Maths exam soon but Tulsidor was unlikely to pass, no matter how many private tutors his parents hired.
One night, being distracted by 2+1 and 1+2 made him forget that sunset was over, and the monster charged towards the village looking for food.
Tulsidor fainted and woke up in a dark cave, spotting the monster sitting opposite reading, but is caught trying to escape.
Tulsidor enjoys his free Maths lesson and learns how 2+1 and 1+2 both equal 3, and explains that he had heard about the monster kidnapping and eating people and was worried the same would happen to him.
The monster is surprised to hear these rumours and replies that he wanted friends but all the animals would run away because of his appearance, and he was very clumsy because of his giant feet which constantly destroyed houses in the village.
When he got the highest test grade in the Mathematics exam, his teacher demands to meet the person who taught him.
Jaisalmer became the birthplace of history's best mathematicians and still is the best place in the world to learn maths 400 years later.
No one had ever been seen leaving and/or visiting and its original owner's whereabouts were unknown, but whenever it came to life, the front gates would open to allow a black car to drive out and back in.
His mother was terrible at discipline and had failed to make her son listen to her, whereas her husband was an emotionally distant workaholic and used army slang that often confused Timothy and made him misbehave more.
One morning, Timothy picked up his plate full of breakfast and threw it at the kitchen sink, splattering the eggs against the window.
Nervously, Mr King threatens that he was in the army but takes his wife with him for support as he leaves the kitchen to investigate the hallway.
His mother later theorises that The Spaghetti Man had just visited, explaining that he kidnaps children who refuse to eat their dinners.
This soon changed the next breakfast when Timothy reverted back to his old behaviour when a plate of toast was placed in front of him.
He rants about his hatred of the food and his family, and declares that he will not eat it as he leaves the kitchen.
Mrs King followed and dragged him back to the table as she tells him that she will not let him leave until he had finished.
He tried to get rid of it: he threw it in the bin, he sneaked out of the house and shoved it in a postman's bag, and tried to feed it to the goldfish, but the toast would still return to his plate.
Now that Timothy was home alone, he set out his revenge: he emptied the fridge into a bin bag and stuffed it behind his parents' bed; he broke every lightbulb in the house with rocks from the garden and kicked the cat; he graffitied into a door with a screwdriver; and went to the bathroom to flood it.
When the bath overflowed the bathroom door flew open but there was no one there apart from the smell of spaghetti.
A girl with red, curly hair explains that they are in Italy and will be turned into food by the Spaghetti Man.
Timothy gags at the thought of lasagne and attempts to start a revolt, jumping onto a table and yelling at the room full of children that they have been lied to and should leave, but in the doorway behind him stands a smug chef with a maniacal laugh smacking flour off his hands.
That night, Venitian citizens slept as the abandoned factory chugged and whirred until sunrise as the black car left and re-entered through the open gates.
Back home in the UK, Mr and Mrs King's lives improved, now that their son was not around to throw his food and yell about how much he hated them; Mrs King had noticed that Timothy was gone but never told her busy husband.
When he went back to work one morning, she went out to the shops to look for some lasagne for dinner.
This woman was Miss Shears, a representative of a fashion catalogue, and Felicity's mother wanted to show her daughter different clothes.
Felicity throws a tantrum because her father buys her new clothes every week but she is ignored as Miss Shears took out brochures of outfits that were not pink and lacy.
Felicity continues her tantrum and runs out of the room, leaving her mother to choose her the frumpiest outfits she had ever seen.
She refused to talk to her mother for many days and hid in the garden shed when the outfits were delivered.
She was horrified to discover that her old clothes had been moved out of her wardrobe and replaced with clothes of different shades of blue.
Because she could not find her old clothes, she improvised with bath towels, a fishing hat, wellington boots and a fur coat, and ran for the school bus, leaving her parents to bicker about who raised her better.
In order not to make her mother win, she planned to get rid of her new outfits by rewrapping them and sending them back to Miss Shears.
The scissors jumped out of her hand and landed on the top shelf of the wardrobe where her old clothes had been hidden and destroyed them as well.
The fabric in the room created a tornado that spun around Felicity and carried her across the room; Miss Shears' face appeared in the window and she floated away on a broomstick.
The government eventually decided to advertise the position through an audition-like process but they had no luck and a year later the government was certain that everyone in Ruritania had been considered and interviewed.
The next day, he assembled his army and charged through the country, destroying every Ruitanian thing in their paths until they reached the kingdom walls.
After washing his face, his reflection gives him words of encouragement before being dispersed by a pike near the ripples, which inspires Egor to ambush the castle.
Members of parliament woke up to guards sending them to the dungeons and children of peasants were assigned to work for the monarchy.
He went back to Alter for more tips and the reflection scolds him for giving up before it is eaten by the pike.
It later led to paranoia of being overthrown, despite ruling successfully for two years, so Egor went back to Alter for a confidence boost.
When news reached the Black Knight was dead, the newly-released government appointed a woman named Gertrude as queen, despite many people wanting the pike that killed Egor to be king instead.
Herbert Hinkley frequently occupies the television in the family living room: he sits in his armchair all day, eating crisps and channel surfing, and never left the television's side.
One night, his parents allow him to sleep downstairs and a delighted Herbert celebrates with salt and vinegar-flavoured crisps instead of his usual cheese and onion.
He woke up to his mother's face looking at him from the other side of the television but he was too small to be seen.
He runs to a red light at the bottom of a dark corridor and opens the door after moving a hot, electric coil.
He opens a door and a little girl playing board games with a clown scares him off; another door led to a violent bar brawl scene from a western film that unexpectedly featured Sooty and Sweep hiding under a table, waiting for their programme to start.
Herbert then becomes a hospital patient during an Australian soap opera and discovers that he is going to turn into a cheese and onion crisp if he never gets out of the television.
He runs out of the hospital in a panic, hoping to look for a shower room—his fingers had already changed but showering in his clothes might slow the process down.
Herbert went from rushing into a burning building to running past Batman and Robin to featuring on a cooking show, where the TV chef stuffed him into the oven.
Herbert's parents laughed so hard, they did not notice the television smoking, burning and then disintegrating into a pile of ash.
When they stopped, Herbert's mother took out the vacuum cleaner and picked up the cheese and onion crisp on top of the ash.
She placed it in a tupperware box and put it in the back of the fridge for Herbert to eat whenever he came back.
Many unspecified years ago, there was a seaside town called Saucy by Sea which had a reputation for being the home of the rudest children in the world, but this was quickly changing.
A handsome, moustachioed barber arrived in the town and opened up his shop, offering free haircuts to numerous children that lived there.
Not wanting to pass a free offer, the barber became popular with many parents, particularly the parents of children staying true to the town's stereotype.
At one Saucy school, there were two children named Tania Wilson and Perigrine, who were frequently tormenting their teachers with their refusal to cooperate and obey, and their irritating attempts to be the class clown.
The headmaster orders them inside, planning to scare them with his cane, but Peregrine and Tania chant fearlessly, which makes him collapse and call for matron, implying a sudden mental breakdown.
Tania notices that there are no mirrors and that the strange barber's chair looked more like a dentist's chair but Peregrine is at the till, opening one of the barber's jars of slugs to hold a slug over his mouth as if he was going to eat them.
He locks the front door, opens up his barber utensils, takes out a knife and licks it; the children are stunned into silence as the barber wiped off the blood trail from the blade.
Tania screams in shock and the barber explains that he is not actually a barber: he travels around to different towns to stop rude children's misbehaviour by cutting off parts of their tongues and washing out their mouths thoroughly until they are not rude anymore.
He had messy black hair, and a warty face and tongue, which gave him a large lisp that sprayed everything he faced.
His wife tried her best to cater to his bullying demands but one day, Hugh had grown until he could not fit in their home.
He stomped next door and threatened Mr Sparrow, implying a promise to almost drown him and his family with the speech impediment.
The Sparrow family rushed out of their house as fast as they could through the giant spittle and Hugh immediately moved in, throwing out the furniture and sleeping downstairs.
By the next morning, his limbs were sticking out of the windows and his head had pulled the roof off the building; he had grown again.
Luckily, the church was warm and big enough for Hugh to sleep in overnight but he woke up cold and higher than the lowest clouds.
Hugh was so tall, the President of the United States telephoned him and warned that the United States Armed Forces would not hesitate to attack if he attempts to cross the Atlantic Ocean, so Hugh steps across and eats the entire American military.
Eventually, he went to sleep with his feet in Australia, his bottom in India and his head on the Arctic, but he woke up bigger than the Solar System and the Milky Way.
After he annoys her to get her attention, his mother tells him to get a book from upstairs but Jack refuses, fidgeting around her.
His mother orders him to go and puts him outside of the room; Jack had a fear of the dark and his imagination turned spooky: silhouettes of moths in the street lamp lights reminded him of bats and the staircase handrail looked like a ribcage.
He hears a low rumble and a creak, and runs as fast as he can to his parents' bedroom, slamming the door behind him in case a troll was trying to chase him.
The bogeyman's domain was the bathroom, which was next to the other staircase that led to his bedroom on the second floor.
Jack crawled past the door so that the bogeyman could not spot him through the keyhole and tried to ignore the dripping sound inside (the bogeyman was notoriously gooey).
When he got up to the second landing, he remembered the fire monster, who loved to torment him every night by whimpering and scratching the door.
He sees it lying outside his bedroom and jumps at it, grabbing the cat by its fur; the panicked cat frees from his grip and runs away.
Mr Dustbin decided to clean the streets with several buckets and dumping the mess in a place where the rats would not find it, which caused them to go extinct and the streets to become cleaner.
Despite Mr Dustbin dying as a successful and revered inventor, people found no need for his work anymore, now that the rats would never trouble them again, but because of this, the streets' litter piles became mountains and no amount of dumping into the seas could slow it down.
It was now a national emergency and was the fault of one person: a morbidly obese girl named Bunty Porker, who ate almost every hour and threw her containers and other used packets across her neighbourhood and town, creating a litter mountain the size of two mountains.
The Queen telephones the Prime Minister and demands that he fixes the issue, so Parliament decides that Bunty should be captured by the army, led by Colonel Buffy.
At midnight, Bunty sneaked out of her house to climb the mountain and dump her rubbish wherever she could find a spot.
The army ambush her with nets and sticks, and surround her tightly as Colonel Buffy announces that they had come to arrest her.
Bunty realises that it resembled a feeler that she discovered was attached to a giant European black bug which was hiding underneath her.
Once the bugs had eaten all the litter, they left the UK to find more food, but everyone had learnt their lesson.
Whenever Joesph Alexander finishes reading a book, he tears out its pages and throws them out of a nearby window, irritating his parents.
One evening, his parents are shocked and furious to discover that he had destroyed every book in the house and ground him in the attic.
Joesph did not understand the issue: every time he had thrown the loose pages out of the window, he assumed that they would plant themselves in the ground and grow into new books.
Joesph took the book and looked through it: the front cover had an eagle sitting on a mountain and inside was full of illustrations of shapeshifting and devil-worshipping goblins and symbols; Joesph assumes it is a book of spells.
The front cover in Joesph's hands grew hot and the eagle's eyes glowed red, so Joseph threw it out of the window as well, hitting the tree and setting it on fire.
Joseph's mother bursts into the attic just as Joseph is kidnapped by a giant eagle; she is blown over by a gust of wind before she knew what was happening.
Jeering goblins in seats and crows in the ceiling watch on as Joesph is pulled in front of a goblin judge.
The judge explains that there is no need for a trial because Joesph had torn too many books up to be innocent and orders him to be planted.
He jumps into his mother's arms and promises that he will never vandalise another book and she forgives him, taking him back to his room.
A giant eagle feather on the floor is picked up by a gust of wind and floats out of the window towards the mountain.
The old man locks the door and says that he is going to get Thomas' favourites: lemon sherberts, liquorice twisters and rock candy.
Slightly suspicious, Thomas points out that the old man knows everything about him, even his name, and the man confirms all assumptions as he reaches for a net, adding that he knows about Thomas' shop misbehaviours.
The old man touches a switch on the wall and mechanical sounds are heard from another room as he beckons Thomas to follow him.
Thomas adds that he hates going shopping with his mother but the old man replies that he will get used to it soon, and catches him in the net.
To celebrate Benjamin's birth, an uncle buys him a top hat, so his mother put in a cupboard for when he was old enough.
However, once he could walk, Benjamin sneaked into his parents' bedroom and his mother found him wearing it on a pile of ransacked clothes.
Mother and father look desperately at each other until his father sheepishly explains that there were no top hats in any of the shops he went to.
Benjamin throws a tantrum and locks himself back in his bedroom, and stays in there until his parents beg him at the door to come out and meet his birthday party guests.
Unfortunately, none of the guests had considered a top hat for a present so Benjamin sabotages party games, destroys his top hat birthday cake and attempts to gate-crash the party magician's act, but his mother forces him to be Marvelous Marvin's volunteer.
Benjamin realises that the hat can grant wishes and he wishes for a racing bike, and other gifts that he never got.
On the other side of his door, Marvin warns Benjamin's parents that the hat had been in his family for generations and can make situations go horribly awry if in the wrong hands.
Marvin would later attempt many times to conjure Benjamin back but Benjamin had used up all of the magic; if Marvin ever listened closely, he could hear the faint sound of Benjamin's voice begging for forgiveness.
He advertises a proposal in the national newspaper and marries a lonely woman from a northern Scottish island named Betty, who soon gives birth to a daughter.
Her bedroom is redecorated with a variety of textbooks and chemistry equipment, and her father had made himself her tutor; Betty's protests are ignored by her husband whenever she argues that Albert cannot read or talk yet, and Amos even installed steel window shutters so that nothing outside Albert's bedroom could distract from lessons.
One night, a hook-nosed figure wearing a hooded cloak and carrying a silk sack appears in Albert's bedroom, waking her up.
The figure says that he had been sent by Amos and introduces himself as The Childhood Snatcher, then plucks a hair strand out of Albert's hair, drops it in the sack, and floated out of the window as dust.
By the eve of Albert's third birthday, she had already graduated from university, became Prime Minister and moved in to 10 Downing Street.
The Snatcher pulls off his hood, revealing the grotesque face of an old man, and explains that he wants her youth, and takes his fourth hair.
It was too late when Amos and Betty burst into the room: The Snatcher had disappeared and their daughter had become an old woman.
A teacher had inspired him to write whatever he wanted, so he wrote a story that featured blood and mutilation and read it aloud to the rest of his class.
Rix had been a television/radio producer and writer for over ten years when he began a career as a children's author.
On holiday in France with his wife and children, he told his eldest son that if he refused to eat his dinner, the Spaghetti Man would kidnap him and turn him into lasagne as he pointed at spaghetti outside a shop.
The white lie made his four-year-old eat every meal without hesitations and Rix noted that he could make a story that could do the same to other children.
In 1993, the founders of Honeycomb Animation were referred to Rix's series after the head of Carlton Television agreed to a two-programmes deal.
Honeycomb Animation created a spin-off/reboot cartoon programme for NickToons based on the newer stories in the franchise, and aired between May 2011 and November 2012 with 26 episodes split into two series.
The CITV series won the Silver Spire Award for Best Children's Program at the Golden Gate Awards, the Pulcinella Award for Best Series for Children from Cartoons on the Bay, and Best Children's Series at the British Animation Awards, whereas the NickToons series won Best Children's Series at the Broadcast Awards.
After the cartoon series aired on CITV, the covers were re-designed by Honeycomb Animation, the producers of the cartoon, which was published in January 2000.

It can be as part of a systemic problem or can exist as a single-organ issue only affecting the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
Some patients with systemic vasculitis will have their multi-organ disease spread to the peripheral nervous system; this is primary vasculitic neuropathy.
Some examples of systemic vasculitic disease are: IgA vasculitis, Hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis, polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitides such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA).
Some patients with a non-vasculitic systemic disease or another illness such as infection or malignancy can subsequently develop vasculitic neuropathy as a direct consequence of the former illness; this is secondary vasculitic neuropathy.
When no systemic illness can be found, yet evidence of a vasculitic neuropathy exists, a diagnosis of non-systemic vasculitic neuropathy is made.
As the name suggests it involves a clinical picture where the nerve damage is distally predominant as demonstrated in a nerve biopsy.
Diagnosis of a vasculitic neuropathy depends on whether the patient first presents with multiple symptoms pointing at a systemic disorder or else primary neuropathic complaints.
In the former case the patient is more likely to be assessed first by a rheumatologist and in the latter a neurologist or neurosurgeon.
The expansive Illecillewaet Névé lies to the northwest, and two small unnamed glaciers lie at the bottom of the steep east face.
J. C. Herdman with guide Edouard Feuz, Sr. Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Macoun is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.
It has smooth bark, lance-shaped adult leaves, ribbed flower buds in groups of seven, creamy white flowers and shortened spherical fruit.
The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils in groups of seven on an unbranched peduncle long, the individual buds on pedicels long.
This mallet grows on gravelly hills, often in more or less pure stands, between South Ironcap and Hatter Hill, east of Varley and north-east of Lake King.
In 1937 he was made superintendent of Aquila and two years later moved to Siena, where he taught art history at the University of Siena and was director of the Pinacoteca Nazionale until 1952 and of the Museo dell'Opera Metropolitana del Duomo until 1973.
In September 2000 his children donated the Fondo Enzo Carli to the University of Siena, depositing around 5000 pieces of his correspondence, manuscripts, photographs, typescripts and prints dating from 1928 to 1996 in that university's literature department library.
Luan was born on 17 November 1973 in the village of Glođane, near Dečani (), in Kosovo, then part of Yugoslavia.
He spent his youth in his native village with his parents and siblings, and completed primary school in Rznić () and secondary school in Dečani and Gjakova.
Luan with his brother Shkelzen Haradinaj and other companions were among the first nuclei of armed resistance in the Dukagjin since November 1993.
From that time, Luan Haradinaj with brothers, separately with Ramush Haradinaj, Shkelzen, Daut and friends of the ideal, such as: Lahi Brahimaj, Agim Zeneli, Adrian Krasniqi, with all his youthful strength he had begun work in organizing armed groups.
Having demonstrated exceptional diligence but also exceptional organizational skills, the Kosovo Liberation Army General Staff, since 1994, assigns the task of chief of logistics.
Luan Haradinaj with brothers and companions of the ideal, besides working on supplying weapons to future Kosovo Liberation Army fighters, has also participated in organizing and conducting a series of combat actions against the Serbian police, especially at strategic points and at police stations in Deçan.
Luan stood out among his companions for his honesty, affection, solidarity, and above all for the care he showed for them when crossing the border illegally.
Since his liberation had not stopped for many years, he had memorized the paths to cross, where he was always in the front rows of liberators.
During his stay in Albania, Luan was introduced to a wide circle of Soldiers from all captive Albanian lands, especially Kosovo.
Luan has also maintained contacts with the legendary Kosovo Liberation Army commander Adem Jashari, Hashim Thaçi, Rexhep Selimi and Sylejman Selimi, Abedin Rexha and Fehmi Lladrovci of Ramiz Lladrovci.
The contribution of the Haradinaj brothers to the expansion and consolidation of the ranks of the Kosovo Liberation Army is nevertheless a very important chapter of struggle for freedom, while the momentum, temperament, ingenuity and determination of Luan Haradinaj have remained indelible in the memory of all soldiers of Kosovo Liberation Army.
In the face of the occupation forces in the spring of 1997, numerous liberation groups fled from Kosovo to Albania and from Albania to Kosovo, although Serbian occupation forces had reinforced all crossings, the first KLA Soldiers and rescuers had penetrated.
The most guarded and fortified border in the world, the boundary that once divided the territories of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Albania, however, had begun to become passable to KLA Soldiers, at any time of the year, at any time of day or night.
On May 6, 1997, Luan Haradinaj, along with his brother Ramush Haradinaj and others KLA Soldiers had begun en route to cross the border near the village of Vlahne of Has, in the direction of Kuzhin.
On that day, the Yugoslav forces had taken a well, while Luan, which was leading the soldiers, was first ambushed by the Yugoslav military and police forces.
After many attempts and a frantic counterattack by the Kosovo Liberation Army, Ramush Haradinaj manages to get closer to his brother's body.
After four hours of travel, on the occasion of withdrawal, Ramush and his comrades carry the body of Luan Haradinaj and head to the village of Vlahne.
His brothers, companions and fellow fighters continue their way of liberation until June 21, 1999, when Yugoslav Forces expelled from Kosovo.
On August 24, 1999, the body of Martyr Luan Haradinaj, his brothers and comrades-in-law, was taken from his burial ground in Vlahne and re-buried in his native village, in the heroic (formerly Glogjan) Qendresa he had written long enough during the liberation war.
The 2020 Campeonato Ecuatoriano de Fútbol Serie A (officially known as the LigaPro Banco Pichincha 2020 for sponsorship reasons) will be the 62nd season of the Serie A, Ecuador's top tier football league, and the second under the management of the Liga Profesional de Fútbol del Ecuador (or LigaPro).
For this season, the league will return to the three-stage system used before the 2019 season, scrapping the play-off stage played in the previous season.
The first and second stages will be played as single round-robin tournaments with all teams playing each other once for a total of 15 matches per stage.
The first stage fixture will be reversed for the second stage, and the top teams at the end of each stage will qualify for the finals as well as the Copa Libertadores group stage.
The finals will be a double-legged series between the winners of both stages with a penalty shootout deciding the champion in case of a tie in points and goals scored.
Should a team win both stages of the season, the finals will not be played and that team will win the championship.
An aggregate table including the matches of both the first and second stages will be used to decide international qualification and relegation, with the best two teams (other than the stage winners) qualifying for the Copa Libertadores, and the next best three teams qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana.
Meanwhile, the teams that end in the 15th and 16th place of the aggregate table will compete in the relegation play-offs against the third- and fourth-placed teams of the 2020 Serie B for the right to remain in the top tier for the following season.

Højgaard's twin brother Rasmus is a professional golfer and was also part of the Danish team that won the 2018 Eisenhower Trophy.
Carstairs Castle was a stronghold in the east of Carstairs, a short distance from the current site of Carstairs Parish Church.
Now long gone, it dates back to at least 1126 when it was given as a gift to the Bishops of Glasgow.
In 1302, at the height of the Scottish Wars of Independence, Cartairs Castle had a garrison of seventy troops made up of ten men at arms, twenty named soldiers and forty footmen, which was greater than most local castles indicating that this was of strategic importance - Lanark Castle, by comparison, had a garrison of around 15 men at the time.

Dęblin–Irena was a Nazi ghetto for Jews in Irena (merged into nearby Dęblin in 1953), a Polish town located in Puławy County in the Lublin District of the General Governorate.
Initially, it was an open ghetto; many Jews worked on labor projects for various local firms, especially the railway and the Luftwaffe.
Beginning in May 1941, the ghetto became a collection center with Jews sent there from Opole and Warsaw; in 1942, two thousand Jews arrived from Slovakia and hundreds more from nearby ghettos that had been liquidated.
In October 1942, the ghetto was liquidated; about 2,500 Jews were deported to Treblinka extermination camp while some 1,400 Jews were retained as inmates of forced-labor camps in the town.
Unusually, the labor camp operated by the Luftwaffe—employing, at its peak, about a thousand Jews—was allowed to exist until 22 July 1944.

By the end of the nineteenth century, the area was a center of Hasidism; most Jews followed the Modzitz dynasty, named after the town, and there were also Gur Hasidism.
Many Jews made their living as peddlers, shopkeepers, or artisans (especially in leatherwork and metalwork) and later on participated in the development of the town as a summer resort.
During the invasion of Poland, Dęblin was bombed by the Luftwaffe between 2 and 7 September, targeting the military airfield, ammunition stores of the Polish Army, and a nearby bridge over the Vistula.
Most Polish soldiers left the town on 7 September; on 11 September the ammunition was blown up and the rest of the Polish military withdrew.
They were forcibly conscripted into forced labor units that cleared up the bomb damage and repaired some of the buildings, and the Jewish community was forced to pay a fine of 20,000 złoty.
Also in late 1939, Jews were forced to wear armbands, and some were conscripted for forced labor in Janiszów, Bełżec, and Pawłowice.
A ghetto was established in Irena in November 1940 or early 1941, probably at the orders of Kurt Lenk, the new land commissioner for the region.
The motive was probably to keep Jews away from the two nearby military installations, a Luftwaffe airfield and a Wehrmacht base, which were filled with troops in preparation for the 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union.
Until 1942, Irena was an open ghetto (there was no physical fence, although the penalty for unauthorized departure was death) consisting of six streets.
Poles were initially allowed to enter and live in the ghetto, so many of the Jews were able to survive by trading material goods for food.
The sick were treated at a thirty-bed hospital run Dr. Isaar Kawa from Konin; with the help of Polish doctors, medicines were imported from Warsaw.
Simultaneously, new restrictions were imposed by the Germans: the use of stoves was banned, winter clothing requisitioned, and fuel imports forbidden.
More Jews began to leave the ghetto in order to obtain essentials, resulting in twenty young women being shot after capture.
Because conditions were better in Lublin District than in Warsaw, some Jews fled to towns in the Lublin district, including Dęblin–Irena; twenty Jews were shot for being unregistered refugees.
These consisted mainly of Jews expelled from Puławy Ghetto and the Warthegau region, as well as some Jews who had come to live with relatives to avoid being trapped in the Warsaw Ghetto.
More Jews arrived in May 1941: 1,000 from the ghettos at Warsaw, Częstochowa, and Opole, although they were not housed in the ghetto but at work sites in the area.
On 13 and 14 May 1942, two transports of 2,042 Slovak Jews arrived from Prešov; although they brought food with them, they were unused to the harsh conditions and many died of typhus due to the poor sanitation.
Another group, more than 2,000, were Jews from nearby ghettos that had survived the liquidation because they had been selected to work; this included 300 people from Ryki, and 300 from Gniewoszów and Zwoleń, and a group from Stężyca.
Many were conscripted to work for German companies, such as Schwartz and Hochtief firms which were hired to do construction on the military bases in the town, and Schultz, which was under contract for construction on the Ostbahn.
, which had been taken over by the Wehrmacht and where around 200 Jews from the ghetto worked, was from 10 July 1941 the site of Stalag 307, a Soviet prisoner-of-war camp.
Other Jews were conscripted by the municipality for such tasks as street cleaning or snow clearing; these workers were not paid.
The Jews from Dęblin–Irena tried to take the best jobs, so 200 of the Slovak deportees ended up working for the municipality.
Survivors recalled that although German soldiers supervising the forced laborers tended to treat them relatively well, some Polish supervisors beat Jews and the Ukrainian guards at the railway camp were especially harsh.
In May 1941, in preparation for the invasion of the Soviet Union, the Luftwaffe commissioned the firm Autheried to improve the airfield.
These Jews, as well as another four hundred recruited in Dęblin–Irena and the Lipowa 7 camp in Lublin, and 500 Polish workers, leveled the runway and built roads, walls, air-raid shelters, and earth fortifications.
Following the completion of the project in October, the workers were dispersed to various projects around the town, an action which may have been related to the typhus epidemic.
Some of the Jews from Vienna stayed at the airfield, having obtained permits to work on gravel transportation and building fuel tanks; they were the nucleus for the later labor camp.
After the deportation of 6 May 1942, additional Jews tried to secure permits, often fictitious ones obtained through bribery, in order to avoid deportation.
At this time there were five forced-labor camps around Dęblin: the Luftwaffe camp, the fortress, the train station (300 Jews), Lipova Street (200 Jews and Poles), and another near the muncipial boundary (300 Jews).
The first deportation was 6 May 1942, in order to clear space for the Slovak deportees who arrived a week later.
A force composed of German and Ukrainian police, a small number of German SS and Ukrainian SS auxiliaries ordered Jews to assemble in the main square at 9:00 hours.
Most of the Jews from neighboring communities and 2,300 to 2,500 from Dęblin—mainly the elderly and families with small children—were marched to the Dęblin train station (some away) at 18:00 and sent to Sobibór extermination camp.
During the next two days, more than four thousand Jews from north Puławy County—200 from Bobrowniki (6 May), 1,800 from Ryki (7 May), 125 from Stężyca (7 May), 1,500 from Baranów (8 May) and 500 from Lysobyki (8 May)—were also marched to Dęblin and deported to Sobibór.
This was half of a countywide extermination action in Puławy County, which was the first in a series of systematic, countywide deportation in the Lublin district.
The next deportation, which coincided with the liquidation of the other two remaining ghettos in Puławy (Opole and Końskowola) took place on 15 October 1942; the previous day, all workers had been ordered to stay at their workplaces.
Many Jews tried to enter the Luftwaffe camp, which at that time had 543 official residents, but they were turned away by the Jewish police there.
The Jewish elder, Hermann Wenkert, later claimed that if he allowed non-registered Jews entry and they were discovered, everyone in the camp would have been killed.
Instead, he bribed the Germans to obtain legal permits for an additional 400 Jews, which were mostly given to the wives and children of current residents.
Either on that day or within the next few weeks, 1,000 people were removed from the labor camps, including the 200 workers at Dęblin Fortress and 200–500 of the Luftwaffe's workers.
After this, about 1,400 Jews were still alive in the labor camps around Irena: 1,000–2,000 at the Luftwaffe camp, 300 at a railway camp near the passenger station, and 120 at another camp near the railway loading station.
During May or July 1943, most of the remaining prisoners in the railway camps were deported to Poniatowa via the transit ghetto in Końskowola; the rest were deported in late 1943.
In all of the other remaining labor camps in Puławy County, where hundreds of Jews were still alive, the Jews were murdered during Operation Harvest Festival (2–3 November 1943).
This operation also killed the prisoners of Poniatowa, but did not affect the Jews at the Luftwaffe camp in Dęblin–Irena, who were unaware of it.
Following Harvest Festival, there were ten labor camps for Jews in the Lublin District with more than 10,000 Jews still alive.
The camp leader () at the Luftwaffe camp was Hermann Wenkert, a Jewish lawyer from Vienna who had been deported to Opole in 1941 and came to Irena with the volunteers.
According to Wenkert's account, soon after his arrival he happened upon Eduard Bromofsky, an Austrian Luftwaffe officer with whom Wenkert had served during World War I. Bromofsky convinced the commander of the camp to promote Wenkert to his position.
Even after Bromofsky was reassigned, the relationships that Wenkert had cultivated with the German authorities enabled him to retain his position.
Wenkert populated the administration with other Viennese Jews, insisted on extra rations for himself and his family, and had his family transferred from Opole to Irena.
Because of his close association with the German authorities and use of his position for personal benefit, some survivors considered him to be a collaborator.
When it was possible, Wenkert negotiated with the authorities and paid bribes to avoid punishment; he also consulted respected prisoners in cases where the matter had not come to German attention.
However, when he thought there was no other option and the survival of the camp was in the balance, Wenkert turned Jews accused of wrongdoing over to the Germans even though he knew that this would result in death.
According to Silberklang, both views of Wenkert may be true: that he tried to secure benefits for himself personally while also working to keep the other Jewish prisoners alive.
The presence of 100 young children—whose existence was justified by increasing the productivity of their parents—was particularly unusual, and not equalled elsewhere in the Lublin District after Operation Harvest Festival.
Wenkert managed to get religious Jews exempted from working on Shabbat and allowed a chevra kadisha society to operate, burying the dead according to Jewish law.
The camp had three German commanders, all at the rank of Sergeant Major: Kattengel (through March 1943), Dusy, and Rademacher (during the last two months).
Although Kattengel was distrusted, because he roamed the camp with a dog and whip, both Dusy and Rademacher were described positively by survivors, and the latter even arranged for one woman to receive treatment at a German hospital after she was badly injured.
Punishment could be excessive and arbitrary—nine Jews were shot for causing a fire, even though it was proved to be accidental—but less so than other Nazi camps.
According to Farkash, in 1943, Wenkert allowed a group of Jewish partisans into the camp, seeking refuge from a hostile unit of the Polish Home Army resistance group.
The Slovak Jews at the camp were the last major group to survive of the almost 40,000 Slovak Jews deported to the Lublin District in 1942.
The Jews remaining in Prešov hired couriers (non-Jews from the Polish–Slovak border) to travel to the camp regularly until it was dissolved, carrying letters and bringing valuables and money.
Several members of the Kowalczyk family were honored as Righteous Among the Nations for sheltering Jews who had escaped from the camp.
At the time of the deportation, some 800 to 900 Jews were still alive, of whom 400 to 600 were from Dęblin–Irena, 40 from Vienna, and 70 to 80 from Slovakia.
Since no one was willing to volunteer, the first transport carried about 200 people who had few connections in the camp, including single adults and fifteen children between 3 and 6 years of age.
The rest of the prisoners, including Wenkert and 33 young children, departed on the second transport with Rademacher, the German camp commander, who carried a letter of protection from the airfield commander.
The second transport arrived in Częstochowa on 25 July; the young children were kept separated for two and a half days, but were not killed.
One unusual aspect of the camp was that it was run from start to finish by the Luftwaffe rather than the SS, although during 1943 and 1944, the SS tried to expand its role.
However, other camps (such as three in Zamość county) were run by the Luftwaffe and yet were still liquidated before the end of 1943.
Another reason was the importance of Jewish workers at Dęblin to the German war effort, which was continually emphasized by Wenkert in his dealings with the Germans.
Overall, luck played a major role in the fortuitous combination of Jewish leadership, relatively friendly Germans, and the evacuation of the camp to Częstochowa rather than Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Ninety-nine percent of the Jews from Lublin District were killed in the Holocaust, but hundreds from the Dęblin–Irena survived the war.
Some of the Jewish survivors, who attempted to return home in January 1945, were told by the local Milicja Obywatelska chief that it was illegal for them to settle in town.
Ester Kaminska suffered repeated harassment and extortion from local Poles, one of whom had obtained her family's bakery from the Nazis, which led to her departure to Palestine in 1947.
Ignaz Bubis, a former prisoner of the ghetto, was the chairman of the Central Council of Jews in Germany from 1992 to 1999.

Marie-Louise Charpentier, also known as Lily Charpentier (1905-1998), was a nurse, social worker, and active member of the French Resistance in Brittany during World War II.
Her most well known accomplishment was hiding a Jewish woman and her two grandchildren from German forces and arranging their safe passage to relatives in the south of France.
Her activities were known to include: distributing leaflets with the help of Dr. Menon who died in the Allied bombardment of May 1943; saving a young Polish couple from deportation; and helping young people escape compulsory labor service in by administering drugs to them just before their evaluation by German doctors.
In 1943, while serving as a social worker in the Rennes office for assistance to families of prisoners of war, she received a visit from an elderly woman, Malka Engelstein, who tearfully told the story about her Jewish family, originally from Poland, who had settled in Metz in eastern France in the early 20th century.
Early in World War II, her son Joseph Engelstein, who had been serving in the French army, was captured by German forces and was a prisoner of war.
When Germany annexed France in 1940, the remaining family members (Mrs. Malka Engelstein, her husband Fishel, their daughter-in-law, and her two young children) fled Metz and took refuge in Rennes, western France.
However, on this day in 1943, Gestapo agents appeared at their house, ransacked everything and took away the grandfather Fishel as well as her daughter-in-law, and threatened to return for the grandmother and her grandchildren.
Charpentier immediately left with the grandmother to find the two young children: Catherine Engelstein, three years old, and her two-year-old brother Raymond and promptly removed them from the house.
The three refugees lived on the farm for about a month and every day, Charpentier’s brother brought them food with the help of two friends.
Looking for a more lasting and safer solution, Charpentier decided to send them to others active in the Resistance in Paris, and organized their departure, with the help of Archbishop Clément Roques.
Mrs. Engelstein did not speak French and was unable to pose as a French citizen so she assumed the role of a deaf woman accompanied by the two children.
The group was escorted by two young people who wanted to join the forces of General de Gaulle in North Africa.
Once safe in Paris, members of the clandestine network safely transferred the three Jews to Mrs. Engelstein's relatives in the south of France.
She had the joy of finding her husband and children alive, and even went to see Charpentier to thank her for saving her little ones.

Historically, the town was one of five neighboring communities (along with Brooklyn, Curtis Bay, Fairfield and Wagner's Point) sought and ultimately annexed by Baltimore City from Anne Arundel County in 1918.
The town was razed in its entirety in the 1950s, to accommodate the expansion of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad's Curtis Bay terminal.
According to one source, the name Masonville is attributed to an early resident named Mason, who established a workshop producing crackers and bread there.
The town that would be Masonville was founded in the 1890s, centered on what was then Ninth Street & Chesapeake Avenue, directly adjacent to the newly-expanded lines of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad's (B&O) Curtis Bay Branch.
From at least 1910, Masonville also supported an amateur sports team, the Masonville Country Club (also known as Masonville Athletic Club), which competed in intra-city baseball and basketball.
Around 1915, Masonville benefited as a hub from the increased rail traffic toward Curtis Bay and Fairfield, where the oil industry in both places was experiencing boom growth.
25 acres near the town were used to store cars for wheat as well, and demand on the railroad branch (the sole line that serviced the peninsula) was to only increase with the commencement of construction of the B&O's enormous coal pier in Curtis Bay in 1916.
So rapid was the railroad's expansion that it had to house 75 of its workers at Masonville in converted railcars rather than homes.
Plans for a proper sewer system, which had not previously existed outside of neighboring Brooklyn, were finally initiated by the county in 1916.
Citizens of Masonville, along with their neighbors, complained of what they perceived as the lawlessness coming from the many saloons directly adjacent to - but not under the jurisdiction or regulation of - Baltimore City itself.
These citizens formed a Home Defenders League to demand action be taken against these taverns and resorts, which catered to Baltimore residents.
Arguing World War I made it a national security issue, the Home Defenders League advocated the creation of areas of alcohol prohibition around the growing industrial areas on the peninsula.
Among the two communities, 81% of respondents supported being annexed, with supporters complaining of the currently inadequate water supply, fire services and road maintenance provided by the county.
A 1914 fire for instance destroyed seven Masonville homes, and endangered the entire neighborhood, due to a lack of water for fire fighting, followed by another uncontrolled fire that destroyed a further four homes two months later.
Residents also complained that the county's contractor for sanitation failed to collect the town's garbage even weekly, let alone biweekly as the contract had required.
Masonville was included in Baltimore City's initial 1916 proposed annexation map, and was included within the portion of Anne Arundel County ultimately annexed by the legislation passed in March 1918.
In the early 1950s, the same railroad that had been the cause of its creation also became the cause of its destruction, as the town was razed to accommodate the expansion of the B&O's Curtis Bay terminal.
The railroad sought to avoid antiquated and dangerous underpasses and at-grade crossings, and the required land required the purchasing of the land under the town by B&O, who in turn deeded it to Baltimore city for demolition and redevelopment.
The remaining land north of the railroad yards remained in the hands of the Arundel Corporation for many years, which operated a dump at the site.
Beginning in 1976, the State of Maryland pursued plans for an ambitious 250-acre redevelopment of the waterfront at Masonville as a new marine terminal, and two years later, the Maryland Port Authority purchased the requisite land from the Arundel Corporation Within the year, the land was being partly used for storage of excess automobile freight.
When development of the new container terminal failed to materialize over the next decade, the port authority began plans to semi-permanently lease a third of the territory to auto importers.
The State of Maryland committed in 2007 to a $130 million clean up of 100 acres of the Masonville site, which included the removal of thousands of tons of debris and 27 abandoned vessels.
The redevelopment of Masonville Cove was to include a park with hiking trails, a nature center and an artificial oyster reef.
According to an 1893 account, Masonville consisted of 51 homes, with a population of 218 (66 men, 51 boys, 56 women, 45 girls), all of whom were recorded as white.
UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs. Edwards (also known as UFC Fight Night 171 and UFC on ESPN+ 29) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that is planned to take place on March 21, 2020 at The O2 Arena in London, England.
A welterweight bout between former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley and Leon Edwards has been slated to serve as the event headliner.
While not officially announced by the organization, a lightweight bout between Stevie Ray and Marc Diakiese was expected to take place at the event.

The Byrds of Paradise Isle was a story appearing regularly in Buster comic from 1st July 1978 to 29th March 1980.
The Byrd family, Tom, and Ethel, and their two boys, Richard 'Dickie' and Basil, and Grannie, live in Birmingham, and are facing eviction.
On the day of their eviction, they receive a letter saying that Tom's long-lost cousin has died in Australia, and has left them an Island in the South Pacific to live on.
It then crosses above a railroad junction which serves that industrial area, briefly continues as Burgard Road, then turns southeast and continues again as Lombard.
Next, it crosses OR 99E (Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard), at which point it becomes a primarily industrial thoroughfare, employing interchanges for all but one of its four-way crossings.
At its intersection with NE 10th Avenue, it turns southeast and continues until its intersection with NE 46th Avenue, at which point the street's designation as Lombard ends and it continues as NE Portland Highway.
Lombard Street holds several different historical names because of North Portland's history as a series of smaller communities that were annexed by Portland.
Historically, Lombard Street was home to a large segment of streetcar line 474, which ran from Albina to St. Johns between 1888 and 1937.
Rail still exists under the asphalt in some parts of the street, including some slated for removal by the Portland Bureau of Transportation in plans for the N Lombard Main Street renewal project.
The St. Johns Parade has been held annually for over 50 years, and uses Lombard between N Burr Avenue and Downtown St. Johns as the main part of its route.
The large cohort of Baby Boomers allowed for a steep increase in the number of exemptions and deferments, especially for college and graduate students.
It is now known that, during the Vietnam era, approximately 570,000 young men were classified as draft offenders, and approximately 210,000 were formally accused of draft violations; however, only 8,750 were convicted and only 3,250 were jailed.
Some draft eligible men publicly burned their draft cards, but the Justice Department brought charges against only 50, of whom 40 were convicted.
From 1966-68 a growing force of conscientious objectors grew in Australia and by 1967 became openly popular due to a growing protest movement.
Information campaigns were carried out by organizations like Students for a Democratic Society and Save Our Sons to spread information on how to avoid the draft.
As U.S. troop strength in Vietnam increased, some young men sought to evade the draft by pro-actively enlisting in military forces that were unlikely to see combat in Vietnam.
For example, conscription scholars Lawrence Baskir and William Strauss say that the Coast Guard may have served that purpose for some, though they also point out that Coast Guardsmen had to maintain readiness for combat in Vietnam, and that some Coast Guardsmen eventually served and were killed there.
Similarly, the Vietnam-era National Guard was seen by some as an avenue for avoiding combat in Vietnam, although that too was less than foolproof: about 15,000 National Guardsmen were sent to Vietnam before the war began winding down.
Some were connected to national groups, such as the American Friends Service Committee and Students for a Democratic Society; others were ad hoc campus or community groups.
It was founded by David Harris and others in the San Francisco Bay Area in March 1967, and quickly spread nationally.
These draft resisters hoped that their public civil disobedience would help to bring the war and the draft to an end.
According to a 1978 book by former members of President Gerald Ford's Clemency Board, 210,000 Americans were accused of draft offenses and 30,000 left the country.
Others scattered elsewhere; for example, historian Frank Kusch mentions Mexico, scholar Anna Wittmann mentions Britain, and journalist Jan Wong describes one draft evader who sympathized with Mao Zedong's China and found refuge there.
The number of Vietnam-era draft evaders leaving for Canada is hotly contested; an entire book, by scholar Joseph Jones, has been written on that subject.
In 2017, University of Toronto professor Robert McGill cited estimates by four scholars, including Jones, ranging from a floor of 30,000 to a ceiling of 100,000, depending in part on who is being counted as a draft evader.
Though the presence of U.S. draft evaders and deserters in Canada was initially controversial, the Canadian government eventually chose to welcome them.
Desertion from the U.S. military was not on the list of crimes for which a person could be extradited under the extradition treaty between Canada and the U.S.; however, desertion was a crime in Canada, and the Canadian military strongly opposed condoning it.
In the end, the Canadian government maintained the right to prosecute these deserters, but in practice left them alone and instructed border guards not to ask questions relating to the issue.
The largest were the Montreal Council to Aid War Resisters, the Toronto Anti-Draft Programme, and the Vancouver Committee to Aid American War Objectors.
For example, it lobbied and campaigned for universal, unconditional amnesty, and hosted an international conference in 1974 opposing anything short of that.
In September 1974, President Gerald R. Ford offered an amnesty program for draft dodgers that required them to work in alternative service occupations for periods of six to 24 months.
In 1977, one day after his inauguration, President Jimmy Carter fulfilled a campaign promise by offering pardons to anyone who had evaded the draft and requested one.
It antagonized critics on both sides, with the right complaining that those pardoned paid no penalty and the left complaining that requesting a pardon required the admission of a crime.
It remains a matter of debate whether emigration to Canada and elsewhere during the Vietnam War was an effective, or even a genuine, war resistance strategy.
Scholar Michael Foley argues that it was not only relatively ineffective, but that it served to siphon off disaffected young Americans from the larger struggle.
Some draft evaders returned to the U.S. from Canada after the 1977 pardon, but according to sociologist John Hagan, about half of them stayed on.
This young and mostly educated population expanded Canada's arts and academic scenes, and helped push Canadian politics further to the left, though some Canadians, including some principled nationalists, found their presence or impact troubling.
American draft evaders who left for Canada and became prominent there include author William Gibson, politician Jim Green, gay rights advocate Michael Hendricks, attorney Jeffry House, author Keith Maillard, playwright John Murrell, television personality Eric Nagler, film critic Jay Scott, and musician Jesse Winchester.
What is more surprising is their general resistance to mass movements, a sentiment that contradicts the association of the draft dodger with sixties protest found in more recent work by [Scott] Turow or [Mordecai] Richler.
In contrast to stereotypes, the draft dodger in these narratives is neither an unthinking follower of movement ideology nor a radical who attempts to convert others to his cause.
They are far less worried about whether particular relationships will survive the flight to Canada than about the gratification of their immediate sexual urges.
For many decades after the Vietnam War ended, prominent Americans were being accused of having manipulated the draft system to their advantage.
In 1989, approximately two decades after the fact, Chase revealed on a television talk show that he avoided the Vietnam War by making several false claims to his draft board, including that he harbored homosexual tendencies.
After Romney dropped out of Stanford University and was about to lose his student deferment, he decided to become a missionary; and the LDS Church in his home state of Michigan chose to give him one of that state's missionary deferments.
Donald Trump, who became President of the United States in 2017, graduated from college in the spring of 1968, making him eligible to be drafted and sent to Vietnam; but he received a diagnosis of bone spurs in his heels.
Joe Biden, a former U.S. vice president and senator who vied for the Democratic Party presidential nomination in 2020, as well as earlier in his career, was excused from military service in 1968 because of asthma as a teenager.
Hiroshi Nemoto (June 6, 1891 – May 24, 1966) was a lieutenant general for Japan who served in the Second World War and the Battle of Guningtou.
When Japan surrendered in World War II, he served as the commanding officer of the garrison in Mengjiang (modern-day Inner Mongolia).
In 1904, he entered the Sendai Army Youth Academy, and graduated at the Imperial Japanese Army Academy 7 years later, ranked 13th among 509 students.
During the Nanjing Incident of 1927, he stationed at the consulate-general of Japan in Nanjing where he was attacked by the soldiers of the Northern Expedition and even injured by a bayonet.
After the Huanggutun incident took place in June 1928, he began to specialize in solving the Manchuria-Mongolia problem, conducting research and proposing plans for the nation.
Later, he joined a group led by Kanji Ishiwara, Teiichi Suzuki, Keisaku Murakami, Akira Mutō and composing mainly of youth officers.
In May 1929, the group aimed at military reform and personnel refreshment, separation of commanding power from state affairs, and establishment of a legitimate national general mobilization system.
He intended to take part in the event, but he was drunk in the previous night and hence did not take part.
After the Japanese surrender on the 15th of the month, the Soviet Red Army showed no sign of ceasing the attack.
During the desperate guarding of the trains and routes used by civilians, several attempts were made to negotiate a ceasefire with the Soviets.
After the Eighth Route Army of the Chinese Communist Party also came to help the Soviets, Nemoto fought more vigorously to block the attacks.
Therefore, the Japanese army began to retreat on August 21, and the last team returned to within the Great Wall on August 27.
The Chief of Staff of the Mongolian Army who came to greet him was in tears, and thanked Nemoto for saving 40,000 Japanese civilians he could not have saved.
On the other hand, the 40,000 civilians who fled from Inner Mongolia on August 20 arrived in Tianjin after a three-day trek, and boarded a ship to return to Japan.
In August 1946, as the top person in charge, after the return of the Japanese who were stranded in China and the demobilization of 350,000 soldiers from the North China Army, Nemoto finally returned to Japan.
In view of the fact that Kuomintang would lose control over China, after Chiang Kai-shek resigned as president in January 1949, he pawned some goods and sold some of his belongings as a ferry fee for Chiang.
Arriving in Keelung on July 10, the local gendarmerie and police officers were unaware of the situation, so the people who sailed on the ship were imprisoned.
Later, after the report of Nemoto's imprisonment was transmitted to the upper ranks of the National Army (Lieutenant General Peng Mengqi and Lieutenant General Niu Xianming), their treatment was immediately changed.
On August 5 of the same year, the United States Government indicated to the Kuomintang that military assistance would be suspended, and Chiang Kai-shek accepted the assistance of Nemoto and others.
Due to the successive defeats of the Kuomintang army in the battlefields of mainland China, Nemoto suggested to Tang that the army retreat to the Zhoushan Islands, Yijiangshan, Dachen Island, Kinmen and Matsu Islands, stretch the front line with the Communist army, protect Taiwan and Penghu Islands, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.
Soon, Xiamen fell out of Kuomintang's control, and the Kuomintang army had to fight on Kinmen Island, and Nemoto also set out to plan a trench battle.
From On the following October 24, Nemoto assisted in commanding the Battle of Guningtou on Kinmen Island, using tanks to shoot PLA vessels to cut off the PLA's retreat, annihilating the incoming Chinese People's Liberation Army.
The day before Nemoto left Taiwan in 1952, in order to express his gratitude, Chiang opened a pair of special vases he had collected and presented one of them to Nemoto.
One of them was given to Queen Elizabeth of England as a wedding gift, and another was given to the Emperor Showa of Japan, leaving himself just one pair.
On May 5, 1966, after the first holiday when his grandson was born, he was admitted to the hospital because his health deteriorated.
He was discharged from hospital on the 21st of the same month, but died suddenly on the 24th, at the age of 74.
At that time, the news of the Nemoto going to Taiwan was top-secret because of the political situation after the Kuomintang took over Taiwan, and because of this, the historical existence and even the existence of the Japanese assistance in the battle of Guningtou was not known to the Taiwanese at that time.
At the memorial service for the dead in the Battle of Guningtou held in October 2009, several Japanese military members and advisory families were invited by the Republic of China government and met with President Ma Ying-jeou of the Republic of China.
By then, the government of the Republic of China finally officially announced the participation of the Japanese in the Battle of Guningtou.

The Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL) is an atmospheric research facility in the Canadian High Arctic, located on Ellesmere Island, Nunavut.
Considered one of the most important Arctic research labs in the world, it was the subject of international media attention when it almost closed due to funding cuts by the Canadian Federal Government in 2012.
PEARL is located on Ellesmere Island, about 15 km from the Eureka Weather Station in Eureka, Nunavut and about 1,100 km from the North Pole.
It is housed in the Ridge Lab building, originally built by the Meteorological Service of Canada in 1992 to hold the Arctic Stratospheric Ozone Observatory (AStrO).
After hearing that the Ridge Lab was in danger of being demolished, Canadian Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Change (CANDAC), a group of university-based climate scientists and government researchers who study the atmosphere over Canada, proposed to take over the facility.
CANDAC was able to successfully re-open the facility in 2005 with a grant from the federal Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI).
From 2005 to 2010, most of the station's $1.5 million per year operating budget came from the nonprofit Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Science (CFCAS), which received more than $100 million in research grants over 10 year from the Canadian federal government.
A new fund with $35 million over five years was allocated for climate and atmospheric research, the Climate Change and Atmospheric Research Initiative (CCAR).
In 2012, one year after the creation of the $35 million dollar CCAR fund, no money had been released to scientists.
At the same time, the government announced final plans to build a new $204 million federal government Canadian High Arctic Research Station (CHARS) in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut.
Located about 1200 km south of PEARL, this station is too far south to effectively measure ozone depletion or changes in the arctic atmosphere.
The closure of PEARL, along with the closing of the Experimental Lakes Area in northwestern Ontario, provoked an outcry from Canadian and International scientists.
In 2013, about 20 days before the facility was set to permanently close, the government released last-minute funding from CCAR to save PEARL, allotting $5-million over 5-years.
This was about two-thirds of the previous operating budget, and was not enough to keep an operator at the station year-round, meaning that much of the existing equipment had to be automated.
In addition, during the 2012 funding cuts the lab lost its trained operators and observations were no longer taken continuously, which reduced researchers' confidence in their data.
The Bras Rocheux is a tributary of the Bras d'Hamel, flowing in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The surface of the Rocky Arm is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March.
This crescent-shaped lake open to the southeast has a marsh area at the northwest end and another at the south end.

Formerly the name of a ward under Glasgow Town Council in the first part of the 20th century, it is within a continuous area of fairly dense urban development bordering several other neighbourhoods whose mutual boundaries have blurred over time, and is possibly less well known than all of the places which adjoin it, particularly Anderston and Finnieston.
A street plan was laid out and filled mostly with Neo-Georgian terraced townhouses in a continuation of development which had taken place further east at Blythswood Hill, the mansion itself being demolished by 1850.
By the turn of the 20th century, the area was entirely built upon with all available space directly north of the river at Lancefield, Finnieston and Kelvinhaugh taken up by warehouses, engineering works and dockyards, with the housing for the workers in those industries at Anderston and Yorkhill, as well as those streets in Sandyford north of St Vincent Street, becoming increasingly crowded.
But further north, the area around Sauchiehall Street largely retained its original character as a home for the middle classes, with upmarket (and upwind of industrial smog) developments at Kelvingrove on the southern fringe of the park of the same name helping to maintain the area's prestige as a leafy suburb close to the heart of Glasgow.
Churches in the area included Kent Road UP Church, Sandyford UP Church (later Highlanders' Memorial UF Church), Berkeley Street UP Church (later the site of a dance hall) and Trinity Church at Claremont Street.
outside or shared toilets) were demolished and replaced by a small playpark; and the Kent Road School was also demolished in 1968, replaced by new buildings for Woodside Secondary School previously located further north at Woodlands.
Dalian House, a civic building for Strathclyde Regional Council completed south of the Mitchell Library in 1990, showed a respect for the design of the remaining older buildings surrounding it by being prohibited from exceeding their height.
In the early 21st century, the area's profile changed again, with Woodside Secondary closing in 1999 and Glasgow Gaelic School moving into the buildings in 2006, while the majority of 'gap sites' were filled by new blocks of apartments (including a conversion of Kent Road UP Church), resulting in a variety of building styles and ages being found among the small number of streets in the area.
Owing to its location between the tourist areas of Glasgow city centre, the West End (centred on Byres Road) and the entertainment venues at the SEC Centre, a large number of hotels are present among tenements near to Kelvingrove Park, mostly on Sauchiehall Street.
There are also several established restaurants and bars, a provision which increased markedly in the 2010s as the wider area (usually marketed as Finnieston) around Argyle Street became more popular as a destination in its own right.
The local Sandyford Post Office is also in this area on Argyle Street, and further west is The Church of Scotland Sandyford Henderson Memorial Parish Church; which includes Finnieston, Kelvinhaugh and Yorkhill within its parish borders but none of the former Sandyford Town Council ward which instead falls under the parish of the Anderston-Kelvingrove church.
There are three railway stations in the vicinity of Sandyford: and on the Argyle Line connecting with , and Charing Cross on the North Clyde Line connecting with .
Finnieston railway station just off Argyle Street was once the nearest, but this closed in 1917; a century later, the local community council shared its plans regarding a possible reopening of the station seeking input from residents.
Subsequently he was scientific assistant to at ETH in the field of solid state physics, and earned his doctorate there under Pauli in 1956.
Beginning in 1961, he was full professor at the University of Neuchâtel, and from 1965 at the University of Geneva, where from 1977 he was chairman of the Physics department.
The idea of the proof of the theorem was also later used by Hyman Bass to show big projective modules (under some mild conditions) are free.
The proof of the theorem is based on two lemmas, both of which concern decompositions of modules and are of independent general interest.
Now, consider the set of all triples (formula_9, formula_10, formula_11) consisting of a subset formula_12 and subsets formula_13 such that formula_14 and formula_15 are the direct sums of the modules in formula_16.
Now, formula_35 is a direct summand of formula_36 (since it is a summand of formula_37, which is a summand of formula_36); i.e., formula_39 for some formula_40.
Hence, the proof reduces to proving the claim and the claim is a straightforward consequence of Azumaya's theorem (see the linked article for the argument).
Prior to his election to the Senate, he served two terms in the New Hampshire House of Representatives for Strafford's 4th district.
The Propylaea was the monumental gateway to the Acropolis of Athens, and was one of several public works commissioned by the Athenian leader Pericles in order to rebuild the Acropolis at the conclusion of the Persian Wars.
Pericles appointed his friend Phidias as the supervisor and lead architect of this massive project, which Pericles allegedly financed with funds appropriated from the treasury of the Delian League.
The structure consists of a central building with two adjoining wings on the west (outer) side, one to the north and one to the south.
The core is the central building, which presents a standard six-columned Doric façade both on the West to those entering the Acropolis and on the east to those departing.
There are five gates in the wall, one for the central passageway, which was not paved and lay along the natural level of the ground, and two on either side at the level of the building's eastern porch, five steps up from the level of the western porch.
Though it was not built as a fortified structure, it was important that people not ritually clean be denied access to the sanctuary.
In addition, runaway slaves and other miscreants could not be permitted into the sanctuary where they could claim the protection of the gods.
The gate wall and the eastern (inner) portion of the building sit at a level five steps above the western portion, and the roof of the central building rose on the same line.
The outer (western) wings to the right and left of the central building stood on the same platform as the western portion of the central building but were much smaller, not only in plan but in scale.
The central building also has an Ionic colonnade on either side of the central passageway between the western (outer) Doric colonnade and the gate wall.
It is also the first monumental building in the classical period to be more complex than a simple rectangle or cylinder.
The western wing on the north (to the left as one enters the Acropolis) was famous in antiquity as the location of paintings of important Greek battles.
It seems only to have functioned as an access route to the Temple of Athena Nike, which stood to the south and further west, on a raised bastion.
Preparations for both wings are apparent at the eastern end of the central building and along the side walls, but it seems that the plan for a southern wing was abandoned early in the construction process since the old fortification wall was not demolished, as required for that wing.
To the extent that preparations had been made, they were for a floor at the level of the western portion of the building, considerably below the level required on the East.
As a result of the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta in 431 BC, the Propylaea was never completed.
The extant marble stairway was built in 52 AD, and following the Herulian invasion the Buelé Gate was constructed immediately in front of the Propylaia as a part of the further fortification of the citadel and the city.
During the period of the Duchy of Athens, it served as the palace of the Acciaioli family, who ruled the duchy from 1388 to 1458.
It was severely damaged by an explosion of a powder magazine in 1656, foreshadowing the even more grievous damage to the Parthenon from a similar cause in 1687.
Today the Propylaea has been partly restored, since 1984 under the direction of Tasos Tanoulas, and serves as the main entrance to the Acropolis for the many thousands of tourists who visit the area every year.
In the period before the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, the Propylaea was shrouded in scaffolding as restoration work was undertaken.
The restoration of the Central Building of the Propylaea was awarded a European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Award in 2013.

During his time in Adelaide he also supplied individual essays to The Argus, the Sydney Morning Herald, and the Brisbane Courier, and a weekly letter to selected country newspapers.
On reaching England he found employment with the London Standard, the Evening News, the Financial News and the Financial Times, which he served as Editor 1890–1891.
Sandra Tiffany (born June 30, 1949) is an American politician who served in the Nevada Assembly from the 21st district from 1992 to 2002 and in the Nevada Senate from Clark County's 5th district from 2002 to 2006.
His research focus has been on the study of how people understand language, using both experimental methods and computational modeling techniques.
He formulated a psychological process theory of discourse comprehension that views comprehension as a bottom-up process in which various alternatives are explored in parallel, resulting in an incoherent intermediate mental representation that is then cleaned up by an integration process.
Integration is a constraint satisfaction process that ensures that those constructions that are linked together become strongly activated, whereas contradictory and irrelevant elements become deactivated.
Just hours before the show was launched and the housemates entered the Big Brother house, the production decided that one of the contestants, the plus size model Orel Alloushe, who was supposed to enter the house during the show would not enter, after the discovery of a wrapper of Escitalopram on the hotel floor, by production team, and fear that others will use them.

After Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968, thousands of U.S. troops stationed at Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas, were sent to Chicago for riot control duty.
In mid-August 1968, another large group of soldiers stationed at Fort Hood was scheduled to return to Chicago in late August to control potential rioters at the Democratic National Convention.
At midnight on Friday, August 23, sixty African American troops staged a nonviolent sit-in on base to protest their deployment to Chicago.
The majority of these soldiers were uncomfortable with being placed in situation where they might be asked to police other black Americans.
Several of the demonstrators said they had grown up in low-income neighborhoods and suggested that they could empathize with the folks in those areas who might feel riots were necessary.
At 5 a.m. Saturday morning, the a division commander and members of his staff met with the protesters and discussed there grievances.
Over the next few weeks and months, a number of the Fort Hood 43 were court-martialed and punished, receiving sentences of three to six months of hard labor, a forfeiture of a considerable portion of their wages and reductions of rank.
It is closely related to some dialects of Hokkien, with which it shares some cognates and phonology, though the two are largely mutually unintelligible.
Chaoshan preserves many similarities to Old Chinese in its pronunciation and vocabulary that have been lost in most other Sinitic languages.
It has only limited intelligibility with Hokkien, with Chaoshan-speakers generally not recognizing Hokkien as a kindred language within the Chinese family.
The Chaoshan region, which includes the twin cities of Chaozhou and Shantou, is where the standard variant of Chaoshan is spoken.
As Chaoshan was one of the major sources of Chinese emigration to Southeast Asia during the 18th to 20th centuries, a considerable Overseas Chinese community in that region is Chaoshan-speaking.
In particular, the Chaoshan people settled in significant numbers in Cambodia, Thailand and Laos, where they form the largest Chinese sub-language group.
Additionally, there are many Chaoshan-speakers among Chinese communities in Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia (especially in the states of Johor and Selangor) and Indonesia (especially in West Kalimantan on Borneo).
Waves of migration from Chaoshan to Hong Kong, especially after the communist victory of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, has also resulted in the formation of a community there, although most descendants now primarily speak Cantonese and English.
Chaoshan speakers are also found among overseas Chinese communities in Japan and the Western world (notably in the United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, France and Italy), a result of both direct emigration from Chaoshan to these nations and secondary emigration from Southeast Asia.
In Singapore, Chaoshan remains the ancestral language of many Chinese Singaporeans, with Chinese of Teochew descent making up second largest Chinese group in Singapore, after the Hoklo.
This is due to the Singapore government's stringent bilingual policy that promotes English as the official language of education, government and commerce and promotes Mandarin at the expense of other Chinese languages.
Some Teochew assimilated with the larger Hokkien community and speak Hokkien rather than Chaoshan due to Hokkien's prominent role as a lingua franca previously among the Singaporean Chinese community.
Hokkien, which is spoken in southern Fujian, and Chaoshan share many phonetic similarities, due to historical influence, but have low lexical similarity.
Other than the -p final found in both languages, Hokkien retains the different finals of -n, -ng, -t and -k while Chaoshan only has -ng and -k finals as a result of final-merging.
Chaoshan (Teochew dialect) has only 51% intelligibility with the Tong'an Xiamen dialect of Hokkien (Cheng 1997), approximately the same as the percentage of intelligibility as between Russian and Ukrainian languages, while it has even lower mutual intelligibility language with other dialects of the Hokkien language.
There are a minority of Teochews who speak Hokkien as their mother tongue, most of whom have close contact or relatives in the neighbouring three originally-Teochew counties of what is now South Fujian, which were seceded to Fujian during the early Tang dynasty and subsequently assimilated into the Hokkien population.

The group is working to develop a visual database in map form of every marine protected area (MPA) in the world as well as deploy new radar systems to protect vulnerable areas from illegal activity.
This means that some marine waters may be in several different regulated zones at once, which makes determining what is and is not allowed in the area difficult.
ProtectedSeas developed the Marine Managed Area Map as an evolving online tool that boaters can use to track their location on the water with respect to nearby protected areas and other legally restricted zones.
The map is free and designed for easy, one-click use by the public as well as those in the marine industry.
Information on each area includes which specific activities are allowed and restricted (such as diving or fishing by use of bottom trawl), as well as the protected area's boundaries.
The project began in 2015 and, as of December 2019, ProtectedSeas has mapped 50% of global MPAs and over 2/3 of the ocean by area.
Completed regions include the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, the Baltic and the high seas, with Central and South America coming soon.
ProtectedSeas is one of the first organizations to map marine managed areas in international waters known as the high seas, and release the data at the United Nations Ocean Conference in 2017.
ProtectedSeas developed a radar surveillance system designed to track vessel movement in sensitive marine areas and successfully demonstrated their first deployment at Moss Landing Marine Labs in 2015.
Rangers and other authorities can use this system--called Marine Monitor (M2)--to watch for poachers 24/7, enforce local laws against illegal fishing and potential damage to reefs.
The system involves radar, a support structure, power source and internet, making it relatively low cost and a potential solution for hard-to-manage remote areas.
Global Conservation is planning an M2 system to monitor the waters off the coast of Isla de la Plata, Ecuador, following the implementation of a two-mile no-fishing zone in Machalilla National Park.

Archibald Ruthven of Forteviot and Master of Ruthven (1546-1578), was a Scottish nobleman who raised a Scottish force for Swedish service in Estonia.
There his men and the German soldiers in Swedish service fought a serious battle with each other; many hundred Scotsmen being killed.
As a prisoner in Sweden he was accused of having participated in a conspiracy to assassinate King John III of Sweden.
The Master of Ruthven was the son of Patrick Ruthven, 3rd Lord Ruthven, and brother of William Ruthven, 1st Earl of Gowrie.
At the age of 14, he became one of the ten Scottish hostages delivered to the English in accordance with the Treaty of Berwick 1560.
In Scotland, Ruthven on 4 July 1573 received the permission of the Privy Council of Scotland, to recruit 1,600 soldiers for Swedish service; provided that he did not entice any men from the King's service, nor use any constraint or deceit.
Ruthven had raised substantially more men than the 1,600 men allowed by the Privy Council; 3,000 foot and 760 horse arrived at Älvsborg, on the Swedish west coast, in June and July 1573.
Upon their arrival in Stockholm and ports in Östergötland, they were joined by another 300 Scottish cavalry and shipped to Reval, where they arrived in September and joined with Swedish and Finnish regulars as well as German mercenaries, primarily consisting of cavalry and artillery.
In November, the army left for Wesenberg under the overall command of Clas Åkesson Tott and field command of Pontus de la Gardie.
The march was again delayed by the Scottish troops, who demanded to be paid a month in advance, causing de la Gardie to sell part of his jewelry to satisfy their claims.
De la Gardie withdrew part of the besieging army for expeditions to nearby Tolsberg and Dorpat both of which were unsuccessful.
The besieging forces were demoralized, supplies ran out and tensions grew; the German troops blamed the failures on a lack of Scottish support.
A German officer tried to intervene, but when he was unsuccessful and the brawl turned into an open fight, de la Gardie, Tott and Ruthven arrived to the scene in person.
When the commanders had fled the scene, Scottish troops attacked the German artillery, seized the guns and took aim at the German cavalry.
About 70 Scots escaped to the Russian forces in Wesenberg, the last record of them is that they were subsequently brought to Moscow.
A court of inquiry found the Scots troops responsible for the disaster at Wesenberg, and the wounded Ruthven and his second-in-command, Gilbert Balfour, were taken as prisoners to Stockholm.
De Mornay, Ruthven and Balfour were tried before a court of eight members of the Privy Council of Sweden and 15 noblemen.
Balfour was also sentenced to lose his life, his honour and his goods, but the judgment was not immediately implemented; he being kept in prison during the trial of Ruthven.
In prison, Ruthven repeatedly petioned the King, the Queen, and De la Gardie, declaring his innocence, claiming that he had first heard of it in Reval.
The Scottish government pled for the prisoners; the Regent of Scotland, the Earl of Morton wrote to the Swedish king, and sent an envoy to Stockholm.
King John III, who feared international complications, or even war with Scotland, stayed the execution until it after many delays took place in August of 1576.
Ruthven was kept a prisoner at Västerås Castle, but was allowed a couple of servants, and could walk freely in town and to church.
The last five months of his life, he did, however, stay with a citizen of the town, where he died in February 1578.

Sure-Tan, Inc. v. National Labor Relations Board, 467 U.S. 883 (1984) is a labor law case that resulted in a split decision before the Supreme Court of the United States.
However, by a 5-4 majority the court ruled that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) was limited in its remedies for penalizing employers who fired undocumented workers for union organizing in violation of the NLRA.
Following the NLRB’s certification of the election in January 1977, the company’s owner wrote to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) naming five union supporters who might be undocumented.
The NLRB found the company in violation of the workers’ right to organize, ordered the workers rehired and paid back pay for the lost work from the date of their deportation.
Justice O’Connor delivered the decision for the U.S. Supreme Court, ruling that undocumented workers were fully covered by the NLRA, but that reinstatement and back pay could not be assessed because the workers, having been deported to Mexico, were unavailable for work.
Justices Brennan, Marshall, Blackmun, and Stevens concurred that undocumented workers are employees under the NLRA, but dissented from back pay portion of the decision, arguing that the NLRB had acted properly.
Justices Powell and Rehnquist dissented from the opinion that undocumented workers are employees under the NLRA, but concurred with the decision to deny back pay to deported undocumented workers.

Homozygous mutations of HFE gene H63D are rarely the cause of hemochromatosis, however it is also associated with the occurrence of other conditions like hypotransferrinemia, liver dysfunction, bone and joint issues, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, hormone imbalances, porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT), infertility, stroke, neurodegenerative and brain damages, some cancers, venous and peripheral artery disease.
The most relevant risk associated with a H63D mutation is for brain damage due to iron accumulation which causes oxidation processes within the affected cells (chronic oxidative stress) and, as a consequence, leading to cell death (scarring of brain tissue) with severely disturbed neurotransmitter activity.
These incurable processes include increased cellular iron, oxidative stress (free radical activity), brain glutamate dysbalance, and abnormal levels of tau proteins and alpha-synuclein which both may result in dementias and parkinson’s disease, or similar conditions.
Scientists found that patients homozygous for H63D show a higher risk of earlier signs of cognitive impairment and earlier onset of dementias compared to individuals with normal HFE genes or H63D heterozygous mutation.
Some individuals with a homozygous H63D mutation may show signs of heart disease, cardiomyopathies and disturbances in the calcium channels in particular.
A homozygous mutation of HFE gene H63D is an indication of an Iron Metabolism Disorder known as Hemochromatosis (Iron Overload) and may increase the risk to develop a fatty liver, cryptic (nonspecific) liver dysfunctions, metabolic syndrome and, in patients with a cirrhotic or a liver damaged due to alcohol also the rates of liver cancer.

After defending the UK against air attack as part of Anti-Aircraft Command, it went to Normandy shortly after D Day to defend the important fuel installations at Port-en-Bessin.
146th Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment (HAA Rgt) was formed during a period of rapid expansion of Anti-Aircraft Command, utilising batteries drawn from existing regiments.
The new regiment formed part of 30th (Northumbrian) Anti-Aircraft Brigade defending Newcastle and Sunderland in 7th AA Division, but initially 339 HAA Bty was attached to 12th AA Division in the West of Scotland, and 414 HAA Bty to 45 AA Brigade in South Wales.
Before the end of May the whole regiment had concentrated in 5th AA Division, first under 47 AA Bde covering Southampton, then under 35 AA Bde in Portsmouth.
In November 1942 the regiment switched command again, this time to 5 AA Bde, which had air defence commitments in Southern England but had a high turnover of units, many of which were under training for deployment overseas.
In May 1943 it was 146th HAA Rgt's turn: it left 5 AA Bde and had left AA Command altogether and joined the field forces before the end of the month.
It was joined by 598 HAA Bty and a Troop of 600 HAA Bty from 177th HAA Rgt on 19 July 1943.
In April 1944, 146th HAA Rgt joined 76 AA Bde, one of the formations preparing for the Allied invasion of Normandy, Operation Overlord.
598 HAA Bty and the Trp of 600 Bty left to rejoin 177th HAA Rgt on 5 May 1944, reducing 146th HAA Rgt to the three-battery establishment (176, 414, 465) for overseas service.
Units of 76 AA Bde landed with the assault waves on Gold Beach on D Day and then established AA defences over the beachhead.
146th HAA Regiment was given a follow-up role in the brigade's planning, with its batteries due to arrive on 11–13 June (D + 5 to D +7).
In the event the first elements of 176 Bty reported to Brigade HQ at 14.30 on 12 June (D + 6).
414 and 465 Btys (less one Troop still on the road and the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers' workshop, which arrived on 16 June) had arrived by 11.00 next day and were ready for action before the end of the day.
146th HAA Regiment's task was to protect the British and US installations at Port-en-Bessin, where petrol storage depots were being built, fed by 'Tombola' buoyed pipelines from tankers moored offshore.
The regiment established a sub-AA Operations Room (AAOR), and had 418 and 419 Btys of 125th Light AA Rgt under its command, while its own 414 HAA Bty was under operational command of 112th HAA Rgt.
Further protection for the little port and its vital installations was provided by 139th LAA Rgt on barges, Royal Air Force Barrage balloons, and Pioneer Corps companies operating smoke generators onshore and aboard Royal Navy trawlers.
At Port-en-Bessin, the 3.7-inch guns of 146th HAA and Bofors 40 mm guns of 139th LAA Rgt were in action for 33 consecutive nights against high- and low-level bombing, employing visual, radar and barrage methods.
Once the Allies had achieved a breakout from the Normandy beachhead in mid-August, 76 AA Bde prepared to move up in support, handing over its responsibilities, including Port-en-Bessin, and moving to Dieppe on 3 September.
76 AA Brigade HQ then moved on to Antwerp while 80 AA Bde HQ came up from the Seine to take over at Dieppe on 11 September, including command of 146th HAA Rgt.
However, First Canadian Army's advance along the Belgian coast was proceeding rapidly, and on 14 September 146th HAA Rgt was ordered to move up to Ostend, which had just been liberated.
At Ostend the regiment came under the command of 75 AA Bde, which had been moved up from Normandy to take over both AA and coast defence for the port.
The re-opened harbour became an important supply point for stores and bulk petrol for 21st Army Group, the first tankers berthing on 30 September.
There was no enemy air activity in the area at this stage of the campaign, but enemy torpedo boats attacked shipping in the anchorage.
Then the Germans launched their Ardennes offensive against the First US Army on 16 December, accompanied by major air strikes right across the Allies' front.
These strikes extended as far as Ostend on 26 December when some 60 German aircraft made random attacks in mist and cloud.
The climax came on 1 January 1945 (Operation Bodenplatte) when over 900 fighters and fighter-bombers made surprise attacks on Allied airfields, including those close to Ostend.
Despite the damage inflicted on the airfields, a high proportion of the attackers were shot down by fighters and AA guns.
In January 1945, 5 Royal Marines AA Bde took charge of Ostend while 75 AA Bde moved to defend the Breskens–Zeebrugge channel leading to the Scheldt estuary and the port of Antwerp.
75 AA Brigade borrowed some troops of HAA guns from the regiments at Ostend to thicken up its defences against mine-laying aircraft, which were active up until 23 January.
With the war in Europe rapidly coming to an end after the crossing of the Rhine in March, 21st Army Group began to reorganise its surplus AA troops as infantry, garrison or transport troops.
On 16 April 146th HAA Rgt was moved up to the Scheldt to rejoin 76 AA Bde, taking over gunsites from one of the HAA regiments that was converting.
Next day the regiment received warning orders to be ready to move to 80 AA Bde and itself convert to garrison troops on the River Maas.
As 76 AA Bde's war diary commented, 'It is most exasperating for the Regt to be left high and dry with no orders for its future employment'.
On 27 Apr 1945, 146th HAA Rgt regiment was listed as one of several AA units still awaiting re-employment or disbandment, but the next day it left for its new duties.

Both aspects of his life and work have resulted in Bauçà being regarded more for his eccentricity than his work outside of Catalan-speaking countries.
His body was found by the Mossos d'Esquadra on 3 January 2005; the news was not released until over a month later when he was officially identified.
It had been in the collection of Pere Oliver Domenge, a mayor of Felanitx who had briefly had to live in exile from Franco in the Philippines.
His father Omar Bey drove Dalal out of the house after the death of her husband and took up responsibility of looking after her daughter.

Selima Oasis is an oasis in the Sudan located west of the Third Cataract of the Nile and the ancient site of Amara West.
Just to the north of Selima, the track splits into a northern route going to Kharga Oasis and a northwestern route going to Dunqul Oasis.
Traveller's descriptions of the oasis date back to the 16th century and all describe the place as having easy access to water.
In the early 19th century, Frédéric Cailliaud found three wells in use at Selima and three wells are still in use today.
Atop a mound about southeast of the oasis vegetation lies the Beit es-Selima, the ruins of an ancient multi-roomed stone structure.
It has been described as a tavern on the Darb al-Arbaʿīn managed by a warrior-princess named Selima and as a Christian convent.
In 1928, the archaeologist Thomas Leach reported that salt was mined at Selima by groups who came by donkey and camel from Sukkot, Argo Island and the Mahas.
According to oral tradition recorded in the vicinity of the Dal Cataract in 2014, the last salt caravan took place in 1980.
The book was revised and expanded in 1960 and republished by The University of Chicago Press and again in 1993 by Otto Penzler Books.

Eugenio Tanzi (26 January 1856 - 18 January 1934) was one of the most influential Italian psychiatrists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
His Italian nationalism prevented him working in medicine in Trieste and so he instead began his psychiatric training in Reggio Emilia under the guidance of the Bolognese neurologist and psychiatrist Augusto Tamburini, whose school united organisational and scientific skills.
In 1893 he became professor of psychiatry at the University of Cagliari and two years later professor of psychiatry at the University of Florence, where he remained for the rest of his career and where he conducted a series of experiments on neurology and neuropsychology.
Whilst in Florence he also became one of the first in Europe to support Santiago Ramón y Cajal's neuron theory, destined to play a fundamental role in the development of neuroscience., and became superintendent of the San Salvi asylum.
A shell collapsar is a hypothetical compact astrophysical object, which might constitute an alternative explanation for observations of astronomical black hole candidates.
It is a collapsed star that resembles a black hole, but is formed without a point-like central singularity and without an event horizon.
The model of the shell collapsar was first proposed by Trevor W. Marshall and allows the formation of neutron stars beyond the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit of 0.7 M☉.
According to Newton's shell theorem, the acceleration of gravity in the center of each celestial body is zero and rises to its surface (cf.
With neutron stars beyond the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit, the time dilation due to gravity is extreme on its surface, so that the neutron star freezes on its outer shell.
Another possible explanation is that when Newton's 1 / r² law is left, the Newtonian shell theorem no longer applies at the location of the strongest curvature, outward gravitational forces arise and pull the inner matter into the shell.

The Moskalyev SAM-9 (Arrow) was a one-off, Soviet, 1930s experimental tailless aircraft designed to test the characteristics of a highly swept, near-delta wing.
As early as 1933, Alksandr Moskalyev was designing a rocket-powered, tailless aircraft with an ogival or gothic delta wing with wingtip fins and rudders, able to fly faster than sound.
Because no sufficiently powerful engines were available at the time, the Moskalyev SAM-4 Sigma never left the drawing board but it did lead to two interim types, the SAM-7 Sigma and SAM-9 Strela.
The tailless Strela was built to test the behaviour of the SAM-4's radically new wing plan which, had the leading edges been straight, would have been a highly swept delta.
Set at shoulder height, the wing reached from the nose ahead of the engine back to mid-fin; including its broad-chord, tab-assisted elevons it reached the extreme tail.
The Strela had a tall, fixed, conventional undercarriage, with cantilever faired legs based on those of the Moskalyev SAM-5 and a sprung tailskid.

In 2018, pressures from member clubs and a desire to re-evaluate league structure and organisation lead Football Victoria to commission a report into how the NPL Victoria leagues could be re-worked.
Among a series of recommendations on improvements to the youth structure, the report recommended that NPL Victoria 2 - then a two-conference division with ten teams each in an east-west split, contesting 28 fixtures each per season - should be reformed with NPL Victoria 2 turned into a single division of 12 teams and a new 12-team division - NPL Victoria 3 - created.
The proposed changes were agreed, and to enact the split the top six teams of each NPL Victoria 2 conference in the 2019 season were be given places in the 2020 Victoria 2 competition, with the bottom four of the two conferences all relegated to Victoria 3.
Among the sides moved to NPL Victoria 3 were the NPL development sides of A-League duo Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory.

The JAXA Astronaut Corps is a unit of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) that selects, trains, and provides astronauts as crew members for U.S. and Russian space missions.
The first Japanese astronauts were chosen by NASDA, the predecessor to JAXA, in 1985 to train as International Mission Specialists in the Space Shuttle program.
The first Japanese citizen to fly in space was Toyohiro Akiyama, a journalist sponsored by TBS, who flew on the Soviet Soyuz TM-11 in December 1990.
He spent more than seven days in space on the Mir space station, in what the Soviets called their first commercial spaceflight which allowed them to earn $14 million.
On 1 October 2003, three organizations were merged to form the new JAXA: Japan's Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), the National Aerospace Laboratory of Japan (NAL), and National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA).
JAXA was formed as an Independent Administrative Institution administered by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC).
In addition to being Japanese citizens or residents, candidates must meet certain physical standards (including height, weight, hearing and visual acuity), educational requirements, and be fluent in English.
He is responsible, with engraver Abraham Goos, for the first printed map of the Holy Land in Hebrew, printed in 1620/21.
It contained a number of illustrations of Jesus's life at the appropriate places in Canaan, which Zaddiq removed—details such as a miniature illustrating the Exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac and one for the Transfiguration of Jesus on Mount Tabor.
On the other hand, he added details appropriate to a Jewish audience, including a number of ships that fly historically important flags: a ship near the Nile delta flies a Muslim flag, signifying the Muslim rule over Egypt, and another off the coast of north Sinai flies the Star of David.
Zaddiq is known also for being reported to the Amsterdam authorities as a wife-beater: testimony given in court by a number of witnesses showed he had beaten his wife (apparently he had a history of being violent toward her) with a stick and thrown her down the stairs.

Laura Alonso (born 23 December 1972) is an Argentine politician who served as head of the Argentine Anti-Corruption Office from 2015 to 2019 during Mauricio Macri's government.
She also holds a master's degree in public administration and public policy from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
During her tenure at Poder Ciudadano, she helped promote open government policies and the monitoring of judicial corruption and government influence over the media.
Alonso was elected in the 2009 elections as National Deputy for the City of Buenos Aires under the Republican Proposal ticket, alongside Gabriela Michetti among others.
She also drafted legislation on judicial and criminal reforms, electoral issues and gender parity, including a bill to ensure salary parity for Argentine workers.
In 2008, she was awarded the Vital Voices Global Leadership Award for her work in combating corruption and promoting good governance.
By then a known name in Argentine media for her crusade against corruption and confrontations with Kirchnerite officials, Alonso became notorious in 2015 for her friendship with Alberto Nisman, a federal prosecutor who was found dead days before publishing a 288-page report with incriminating evidence on then-president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's involvement in the 1994 AMIA bombing cover-up.
Alonso later testified in Nisman's murder trial where she showed her message exchanges with the late prosecutor, where he expressed being in fear for his life.
The appointment was criticized by the opposition for not meeting the requirement of being a lawyer as required for the office.
During her time at the AO, the agency published more than 90 thousand affidavits regarding assets from officials of the Executive Branch and legislators in the National Public Data Portal within the Ministry of Modernization.
The Anti-Corruption Office intervened as a complainant in more than 35 cases for corruption offenses within the scope of the Federal Government, including the 2012 Buenos Aires rail disaster, the Hotesur, Ciccone and Qunita scandals; the trials against Lázaro Báez, Carlos Liuzzi, José López, Amado Boudou and César Milani, as well as a case of bribes and kickbacks in the Ministry of Health.
During 2016, Alonso's first year in charge of the Office, more than 22,000 public officials did not submit their sworn statement forms.
She was also accused of non-compliance with her duties and functions as head of the AO for alleged infractions committed by former Energy Minister Juan José Aranguren, accused of conflict of interest for signing deals that benefited the Royal Dutch Shell oil company, of which he was a shareholder as well as CEO of its Argentine division.
In September 2016, the AO decided to recommend that Aranguren must detach himself from his Shell shares as well as let him know that in matters related to the company he must refrain from intervening and designate an official in his replacement.
After graduating Cron joined Ada Leonard’s All-American Girl Orchestra and then, at 19 (1943) was invited into the all female International Sweethearts of Rhythm in New Britain, Connecticut.
Many of the International Sweethearts were African American or of mixed backgrounds, and in touring the segregated southern states, Cron was often charged with illegal mixing.
She darkened her looks and permed her hair to increase the air of the exotic and to fit in with the other women.
The band bus often kept its shades down when travelling through the deep south and the women slept in berths on the bus, to avoid mixed accommodation laws.
Cron was made head of the sax section and she noted that the experience deeply helped her improve her musical phrasing and allowed her to make contacts.
With the band she met a wide cross-section of musicians in the US and Europe, from assorted backgrounds, which gave her a compassion, respect and empathy that she says underpinned the rest of her life.
In July 1945 Cron and the band recorded Jubilee Broadcasts for GIs with radio NBC, shows that were relayed through Armed Forces Radio.
In 1945 Cron attended a service in Stuttgart for Jewish soldiers and survivors of the liberated concentration camps, a deeply moving event that was a milestone in her life.
Cron left the Sweethearts in 1946 and lived in Spanish Harlem with bassist Helen Saine, her best friend from the group.
With all the soldiers returning home after the war, Cron found it hard to get musical work; the men went back to their old jobs.
She later worked in insurance, in a bank, and volunteered as a patient escort at abortion clinics, continuing to play in many groups.She taught clarinet and flute extensively and for a period worked at the American Institute of Foreign Trade.
Cron joined studio bands in Los Angeles and in 1979 formed an all female, west coast, 17-piece big band with drummer Bonnie Janofsky.
However working full time in corporate jobs, whilst running projects, proved to create too much pressure to continue with group leadership.

State of the Netherlands v. Urgenda Foundation (Dutch: De Staat Der Nederlanden v. Stichting Urgenda) was a court case heard by the Supreme Court of the Netherlands in 2019 related to government efforts to curtail carbon dioxide emissions.
The case was brought against the Dutch government in 2013, arguing the government, by not meeting a minimum carbon dioxide emission-reduction goal established by scientists to avert harmful climate change, was endangering the human rights of Dutch citizens as set by national and European Union laws.
The initial ruling in 2015, requiring the government to meet an emissions goal of 25% reduction from 1990 levels by 2020, was upheld through the Supreme Court on appeals, affirming that reduction in emissions was necessary for the Dutch government to protect human rights.
It is the first such tort case taken against a government challenging climate change aspects based on a human rights foundation, and the first such successful climate justice case.
The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued its fourth and fifth assessment reports on climate change in 2007 and 2014, respectively.
The European Union (EU) established a goal for all member states to achieve a 40% reduction from 1990 levels by 2030, ahead of the 2016 Paris Agreement which established a similar goal worldwide.
Each member state, including the Netherlands, was bound to establish its own national-level policies ahead of the Paris agreement to reach this goal.
The Netherlands had generally been seen as a leading country in trying to limit climate change as much of the country sits at or below sea level and would be significantly impacted by rising ocean levels.
During the 2010s, activists asserted that the government started to favor more traditional fossil fuel industries over renewables, and the country began lagging in its commitment to reducing climate change.
The letter not only referred to recent reports like the IPCC assessment, but also implored that the Dutch government had a duty to reduce emissions to protect human rights under EU policy.
The government, in reply, stated that this target was too aggressive compared to the planned 30% by 2020 target the EU was striving for at the time, and that the country would only commit to a 40% if all other EU member countries had the same objective.
Urgenda sued the state in September 2013, arguing the state must commit to a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions of 40% by 2030 or a minimum of 25% by 2020, bound by Dutch and EU law.
Urgenda's complaint asserted that the government was responsible for managing all carbon dioxide emissions from the country and it was duty-bound by their laws to reduce the nation's contribution to climate change.
The District Court ruled in June 2015 in favor of Urgenda, and required the Netherlands government must achieve 25% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from 1990 levels by 2020.
The Court found that prior to 2010, the state had planned to have 30% reductions by 2020, but since 2010, had changed their policy and reduced the goal to 14-17%.
The ruling asserted that the Dutch government was legally bound to reduce emissions to protect human life, and that the costs associated with a 25% reduction were not unreasonably high.
The court did express concern about respecting the legislative process, and set the requirement to 25%, the minimum that IPCC and other reports estimated was possible for developed countries that was necessary to prevent dangerous climate change.
In these appeals, Urgenda further stressed the human rights issue, and introduced assertions that the Dutch government was bound by Articles 2 and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) to address emissions, which the state refuted.
The Court of Appeals rejected the state arguments that the order exceeded the separation of powers: the ruling was non-specific and did not specify the legislation of how to achieve the target, and because the matter was related to human rights, including those from the ECHR, the courts had the authority to issue such rulings.
In its ruling, the Supreme Court affirmed that the Dutch government was responsible for management of carbon dioxide emissions for the country and was bound to protect human rights.
Already planning on banning coal power plants by 2030, the government ordered the shutdown of the Hemweg plant in 2020, four years earlier than planned.
Starting from discussions in December 2018, the Dutch government passed a new climate plan in June 2019, targeting 49% carbon dioxide emissions reduction by 2030.
This plan includes taxes on industries on carbon dioxide emissions, transiting from gas to electric power through incentives, and pay-per-use driving taxes as early as 2025.
Even with enacted changes, the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency reported in January 2019 that they projected that carbon dioxide emissions reductions would reach between 19 and 26% from 1990 by the end of 2020, leaving the state in need of more steps to assure the target is met.
The rulings in the case, while binding the government to meet the 25% reduction, did not specify what actions exist should the government miss that target.
The case, while not the first climate change litigation, was heralded worldwide as the original 2015 ruling against the Netherlands was the first successful tort action against a government to address climate change to protect human rights, an area otherwise known as climate justice.
The ruling on the Netherlands case led to similar climate justice lawsuits in other countries, including Belgium, France, Ireland, Germany, New Zealand, Britain, Switzerland and Norway.
The Couchepaganiche East River is a tributary of the Couchepaganiche River, flowing in the municipality of Métabetchouan–Lac-à-la-Croix, in the Lac-Saint-Jean-Est Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.

As a driver, he most recently competed part-time in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series for his own team, Mike Affarano Motorsports.
Since the car landed on its roof, a safety truck had to flip it back on its wheels, where Affarano proceeded to climb out of his car with the help of safety personnel at the scene.
Affarano drove in four more races that year, with two being for his own team and the other two driving the No.
Affarano nor his team did not end up making up any starts in 2013, however, plans were announced for him to drive the No.
The first was a withdrawal at his home track of Chicago, and the second being at Pocono where he surprisingly finished 14th in a field of 31 cars.
He did enter his truck at Eldora for the second year in a row, but this time, it was with Jake Griffin driving.
They were initially on the entry list, but the team withdrew after they could not get the truck ready and updated in time, according to a post on the team's Facebook page.
In 2015, Affarano expanded his race team into the NASCAR Xfinity Series, attempting one race with Johanna Long in his No.
The team was planning to debut at the season-opener at Daytona in February 2015, but they had to postpone their debut due to lack of sponsorship.
Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dance on the senior, junior, and novice levels.

Born and educated in Kentucky, Wood achieved his greatest prominence as the Director of Negro Schools for Baltimore City Public Schools, a role that he held for 18 years, from 1925 until his death.
Beyond his role with Baltimore schools, Wood was an active leader in several state and nationwide educational and civil rights organizations.
Wood first worked as a teacher in a one-room log schoolhouse, and continued teaching in rural Kentucky schools from 1896 to 1899.
This was followed by a promotion to serve as the State Supervisor of black high schools and rural schools in the state in 1922 and 1923.
During his tenure, Wood was also the president of Kentucky Negro Teachers' Association, and a member of the Kentucky Commission on Interracial Cooperation.
Later in 1924, Wood was also the Rockefeller Foundation student at the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute (now Hampton University) in Hampton, Virginia.
At this time, he moved his offices into the new location of the black teacher training school, Coppin Normal School, (now Coppin State University) when it relocated to Lafayette Avenue and McCulloh Streets.
In 1928, Wood was briefly investigated by the School Board due to allegations he was being financially influenced by a local black leader, Tom Smith, but the two men were exonerated.
Wood oversaw the dedications of major black schools in Baltimore including Samuel Coleridge Taylor Elementary and an expanded campus for Frederick Douglas High School.
Wood was also responsible for selecting names for many of the city's black schools, which had heretofore been identified only by their school number.
He selected namesakes (both white and black) who had positively impacted the black community, including Harriet Tubman, Wendell Phillips, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Harvey Johnson and Frances Harper.
Despite his prestige and length of service in the city, a 1941 article in the Baltimore Sun described how, when the school board met, Wood, who was considered of lower rank, was required to be seated in the rear of the room, separate from the other school executives.
In response to a 1934 lynching in Somerset County, Maryland, Wood worked with the Urban League and other black leaders in Baltimore to draft a resolution calling on Governor Albert Ritchie to pass an anti-lynching statute.
Later in the same year, Wood was selected by the new Republican Governor-elect Harry Nice to serve on the Maryland Commission of Higher Education of Negroes, which was tasked to determine whether the HBCU Morgan College should be taken over by the State of Maryland.
Wood was also a member of the commission's subcommittee on awards, which was charged with awarding scholarships to colleges and universities for black students.
In 1939, Wood served as one faculty member for the Baltimore Police Training School, a free program which sought to prepare black candidates for the Baltimore City Police entrance examinations.
The funeral service was attended by about 650 people, and was accompanied by a five-minute period of silence at all city schools, with flags flown at half-mast.
Following his death, Wood was succeeded as Director of Colored Schools by Elmer A. Henderson, then the principal of Booker T. Washington Junior High School.
While Wood had been unable to achieve an equal title of assistant superintendent during his life, his successor Henderson finally was granted that position in 1945.
Initially, the site was a camp operated by a private group headed by Wood himself, but it was purchased by Baltimore City Department of Public Welfare after his death and reopened in his honor.
The 2020 AFL season will be the 124th season in the Australian Football League contested by the Carlton Football Club, and the fourth AFL Women's season contested by its senior women's team.
The 2020 AFL season is the 124th season of the VFL/AFL competition since its inception in 1897; and, having competed in every season, it is also be the 124rd season contested by the Carlton Football Club.
Carlton continued its alignment with the Northern Blues in the Victorian Football League, allowing Carlton-listed players to play with the Northern Blues when not selected in AFL matches.
Carlton's primary home ground continued to be the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with many games also played at Marvel Stadium; traditional home ground Ikon Park continued to serve as the training and administrative base.
The club fielded its women's team in the third season of the AFL Women's competition, running in February and March, and Ikon Park served as the home ground for AFL Women's matches.
Car manufacturer Hyundai, which had been a major sponsor of the club continuously since 2008, and airline Virgin Australia, which had upgraded from a secondary sponsor to a major sponsor during the 2017 season, continued as the club's two major sponsors, under deals in place until 2022.
The club's long term on- and off-field apparel deal with Nike, which had been in place since 1998, came to an end in October 2019, and the club signed a new 10-year apparel deal with PUMA.
David Teague entered his first full season as the appointed senior coach of the club, having served as caretaker during the second half of 2019 after Brendon Bolton was sacked.
To the coaching panel were added: assistant coach Henry Playfair, who became head of coaching performance; AFL Academy manager Luke Power, who became head of development; and Geelong Falcons coach Daniel O'Keefe in a development coaching role.
The matches against Fremantle and Brisbane were scheduled as part of the Marsh Community Series, and the match against Collingwood was arranged between the clubs in late January with the gold coin entry donation fee serving as a fundraiser for the 2019-20 Australian bushfire relief effort.
With the departure of former captain Brianna Davey to , Katie Loynes and Kerryn Harrington were appointed joint captains of the team for the 2020 season.
Carlton senior- and rookie-listed players who are not selected to play in the Carlton team were eligible to play for the Northern Blues senior team in the Victorian Football League.
The club's home matches will be split between the VFL club's traditional home ground Preston City Oval, and Carlton's traditional home ground Ikon Park.
Louis Walton Sipley (April 10, 1897 - October 18, 1968) was a writer, inventor museum proprietor and an author of books on photography.

Stark's Test I.A Coaster is an upcoming roller coaster to be constructed at Walt Disney Studios Park's future Avengers Campus Paris by 2021, replacing Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, which closed on September 1, 2019.
The existing solar panel-line building used for Rock 'n' Roller Coaster will be used as a queue area, with the ride itself to be housed in a newly-constructed building connected to the original building by a passageway.
The 2020 Palarong Pambansa was the 63rd edition of the Palarong Pambansa multi-sports event, is an upcoming Philippine national multi-sport event that is scheduled to take place from 1 May to 9 May 2020 in Marikina City, National Capital Region.
The province of Occidental Mindoro and the cities of Marikina and Puerto Princesa made a bid to host the 63rd Palarong Pambansa.
The supposed budget for the hosting of the sporting event was allocated by the local government unit instead to help the victims of the said typhoon.
It was the supposed to be Occidental Mindoro’s first time to host Palarong Pambansa and the second in the Mimaropa region after Puerto Princesa City hosted the games in 2008.
Palarong Pambansa originally awarded the games to Occidental Mindoro in April 2019, but the hosting rights were given up over a half year later.
This is Marikina's first time to host the Palarong Pambansa, NCR's fifth hosting since the 1966 Palarong Pambansa held in Quezon City, after 54 years.
Marikina will be the fourth city in NCR to stage the Palarong Pambansa after Manila (1948, 1st edition and 1960, 12th edition), Pasig (1964, 16th edition) and Quezon City (1966, 18th edition).
Marikina also bids the recent editions of Palarong Pambansa and all won as one of the candidate cities: 2014 (runner-up to Sta.
Marikina also previously hosted some major multi-sporting events: 2019 NCR Palaro, 2014 ASEAN School Games, 2011 UAAP Season 74, 2005 Southeast Asian Games, 1980 Palarong Bagong Lipunan and the first edition of 1973 Asian Athletics Championships.
At least 29 venues were named for the games including venues to be used for demonstration sports and the Special Games.
The 2020 Group 10 Rugby League season will be the 73rd season of Group 10 Rugby League, the premier rugby league competition in the Central West area of New South Wales.
It will the be the first season the competition will be run under the auspices of New South Wales Rugby League, after NSWRL agreed to a new constitution and the Country Rugby League voted to wind up its affairs immediately.
The decisions was made on 19 October, 2019 and the merger means that the aim of a unified administration of the sport in NSW was achieved over a year ahead of time.
It will be the first time since 2013 where there will be a change in competing teams, dropping down to eight teams after Oberon Tigers withdrew due to a lack of numbers.
The Tigers, who are the second-most successful Group 10 team with 11 premierships, only appeared in a Premier League grand final back in 2017.
Mudgee Dragons also sought a potential move to Group 11 Rugby League in the off-season, but decided not to nominate at the competition's annual general meeting in November, 2019.
Bathurst Panthers will enter the season as two-time defending champions, after defeating Mudgee Dragons 9–8 in the 2019 Premier League decider at Carrington Park.
The scores were locked at 8–all at the end of 80 minutes, before Panthers captain-coach Doug Hewitt scored a field goal in extra-time, which would prove the difference at the end of extra-time.
The Prime Minister's Office (PMO), also known as the Office of the Prime Minister, is the private office of the Prime Minister of Australia which provides political advice and executive support to the Prime Minister.
The PMO is led by the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff and or Principal Private Secretary and is composed of party advisers, media specialists, and political strategists.
Scholars including Professor Anne Tiernan of Griffith University and Professor James Walter of Monash University have observed the centralisation and expansion of power within the PMO over the past three decades.
The PMO should not be confused with the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet which is a public service entity that provides non-political policy coordination and executive support for the Prime Minister and Cabinet's agenda or with the Prime Minister's official residences at The Lodge and Kirribilli House.
The origins of the contemporary Prime Minister's Office can be found with Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser who cemented the central authority of the Prime Minister through an adviser structure.
Prime Ministers Bob Hawke and Paul Keating also continued to expand the role and size of the Prime Minister's Office through the coordination of the development and implementation of the government's agenda.
The role of the Prime Minister's Office has changed over time but has consistently been a source of political advice for the Prime Minister of the day.
The organisational structure and staffing arrangements of the Prime Minister's Office changed with the personal preferences, political interests, and strategic priorities of the Prime Minister of the day.
The PMO also seconds Departmental Liaison Officers from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet to enable engagement for the flow of advice, correspondence, submissions and other communications to and from the PMO and PM&C.
The position of Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister of Australia was formally created by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in 1972 to run the political and private office of the Prime Minister.
Prior to the formalisation of the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff in 1972, the Prime Minister's Office was traditionally headed by a career public servant known as the Principal Private Secretary.
The position of Principal Private Secretary functioned as a Chief of Staff and has been responsible for the management of relationships and stakeholders at the direction of the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister's Office was satirised in the television comedy series [[The Hollowmen]] which centred on the fictitious Central Policy Unit inspired by the Cabinet Policy Unit established by Prime Minister John Howard.
Project Insecurity is a Computer Security organization founded by Matthew Telfer which has a primary focus as an education resource, a vulnerability identification and remediation team, and an Exploit Development Team.
Unlike most Ethical Hacking organizations, Project Insecurity takes the non-convetional approach of hiring former cyber-criminals in attempt to give them a chance at exhibiting reformed behavior.
Matthew Telfer's stance on this is that those who have hacked maliciously have a deeper understanding of such concepts, and that their talent should not be put to waste.
These flaws were disclosed to the affected software vendors in a responsible manner, and some examples of large sites that were vulnerable include Google, Twitter, PayPal, Bank of America, Kaspersky, AT&T, Tesla, Verizon Media, and Sony, among many other websites.
Project Insecurity first entered the public sphere in 2017 and shortly after, they became a registered Limited Company within the United Kingdom.
When the organization originally surfaced, an assortment of security exploits were publicly disclosed; primarily exposing flaws in Content Management Systems and Forum Board Software.
Project Insecurity also released the exploit code for Hangzhou XiaongMai Technologies CCTV Cameras, demonstrating how it was possible for hackers to take control of over two million vulnerable devices and use them as part of a Botnet.
These devices were believed to have been used to partially power the Mirai Botnet, resulting in what was (at the time) the most powerful Denial of Service attack in the history of the internet.
In April 2018, Project Insecurity released two exploits affecting live chat systems used by various Internet Service Providers and Financial corporations around the world.
Nuance Communications and LiveChat were the affected software vendors, both of which appeared to be vulnerable to bugs of a similar nature.
These bugs allowed a malicious hacker to glean information on employees relating to the affected companies, such as the name, email, and employee ID of the chat agent, alongside other information such as the backend systems in use, allowing a malicious hacker to potentially gain a foothold within these networks.
Prior to his sentencing, Kane Gamble had been attempting to show that he had reformed his character, not only working alongside Project Insecurity to help secure the above affected systems, but also by reporting vulnerabilities to companies such as T-Mobile USA of his own accord.
This allowed him to view more than two million lines of their source code, including private developer API keys and Amazon Web Services secret keys.
In August 2018, Project Insecurity released a series of critical exploits for OpenEMR, the most popular Electronic Medical Record system in existence.
There was over 25 vulnerabilities released in total, some of which would allow a malicious hacker to obtain full access to any machine running OpenEMR.
This meant that such a flaw could be leveraged to expose the personal information of more than 100 million people worldwide, including 30-million US Citizens.
This information was very sensitive in nature, and it included details about particular medical conditions that people are suffering from, alongside personally identifiable information such as their names, addresses, photographs, social security numbers, and more.
Project Insecurity pointed out that such a flaw could have been used by a rogue government to possibly manipulate the 2019 Canadian General Elections, and stated that the vulnerability could have potentially revealed the personal details of almost 80% of Canada's entire population.
Some of the affected sites included Bell Canada, SaskTel, Rogers Communications, Telus, Shaw Communications, EastLink, and a number of other websites.
He served as the head football coach at St. Mary of the Plains College in Dodge City, Kansas from 1960 to 1962, compiling a record of 8–18.
O'Leary was also the athletic director at Colorado State University from 1974 to 1976 and the University of Central Florida (UCF) from 1976 to 1981.
A native of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, O'Leary was a multi-sport star Portsmouth High School and captain of the All-New Hampshire football team in 1946.
He began his coaching career while in the military, first as head football coach and assistant administrator of athletics at Fort Carson in El Paso County, Colorado in 1952 and then as football and track coach at Fort Devens in Massachusetts the following year.
In 1954, O'Leary was an assistant football coach at his alma mater, Portsmouth High School, before moving to New Hampshire Technical Institute—now known as NHTI, Concord's Community College—in Concord, New Hampshire to serve as athletic director and head basketball coach.
After transferring from the University of New Hampshire, O'Leary resumed his college football career in 1956 at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado, playing quarterback for head coach Roy B. Robertson.
From 1957 to 1959, O'Leary was an assistant coach at Colorado College in football, basketball, baseball, and ice hockey, before he was named to the coaching staff at St. Mary of the Plains College in August 1959.
It passes through the small town of Sili, where it is joined by a major tributary, before reaching the Pacific Ocean at the settlement of Puleia.
The 2019–20 California United Strikers FC season is the club's inaugural season in the National Independent Soccer Association, a newly established third division soccer league in the United States.
Since 2017, Cal United had attempted to join two professional leagues, the North American Soccer League and National Premier Soccer League's proposed professional league (beginning with the NPSL Founders Cup tournament), with neither effort taking form.
The Strikers finished the fall season in second place with a 2-3-1 (9 pts) record, clinching a spot in the West Coast Championship against LA Force.
Cal United will enter the 2020 U.S. Open Cup with the rest of the National Independent Soccer Association teams in the Second Round.
Stockton Deepwater Shipping Channel also called the Baldwin-Stockton Deepwater Shipping Channel or Stockton Deep Water Channel is a manmade deepwater water channel that runs from Suisun Bay and the Sacramento River - Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel to the Port of Stockton and the Stockton Channel in California.
The Stockton Ship Channel is long and about deep, allowing up to Panama Canal size ocean ships access to the Port of Stockton at the City of Stockton.
The Stockton Deepwater Shipping Channel is part of the vast Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta that has a connection to the Pacific Ocean.
The plans were delayed by World War I, in 1925 the city put started a $1.3 million bond campaign to dredge the lower San Joaquin.
Stockton partnered with the federal and state governments in 1926 to form a $8.2 million fund to change the river to a new channel.
The cause is believed to from three problems the straightening of the river, pollution from the harbor and city and poor tidal mixing.
Baldwin Deepwater Shipping Channel, also called the John F. Baldwin Shipping Channel, runs from the San Francisco Bay through the San Pablo Bay and Suisun Bay to the entrance to the Stockton Ship Channels.
Frances Talbot, Countess of Morley (married name Frances Parker; 1782–1857) was an English author and illustrator, best known as a correspondent of Jane Austen.
This branch of the Talbot family was a junior branch of the Talbots of Salesbury and Bashall, and had acquired their estate of Gonville Hall during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
His first wife, a daughter of the Earl of Westmorland, divorced him and married Arthur Paget as a result of her husband's many infidelities.
She was the mother of Parker's second legitimate son, Edmund Parker, 2nd Earl of Morley, who would later succeed to the earldom (as the elder son died young), as well as a daughter, Caroline, who died in 1818 at the age of four.
Talbot was an early admirer of the work of Jane Austen, though it is not clear how they came to be acquainted; it is possible that they were introduced through Austen's brother, Henry Thomas Austen.
With the help of his friendly neighbor, he begins to master his newfound abilities to fight evil and at the same time, conceal them from the public eye, including his suspicious ex-girlfriend.
On 6 February 2019, it was announced that Netflix had given the production a series order for a first season consisting of ten episodes.
Sometime after the series was ordered by Netflix, it was confirmed that Quim Gutiérrez, Clara Lago, Adrián Pino and Catalina Sopelana would star in the series.

It was one of nine homes of the Blanchard Heights development, which were originally surrounded by open fields, but these were filled in by post-World War II houses.
These tree frogs are found in wetlands throughout their range, as well as in temperate forests both on the ground and in trees.
Bernard Stiegler admired the work, in that it reconsidered the history of nihilism in the eschatological contemporaneity and criticalised Gandhi's thoughts from a new perspective.
Robert Bernasconi admired the profound impact of the work, in that it warranted a re-examination of Gandhiji's thought-school and also served as a reflection on the usual Western interpretations of India.
A review at the Open magazine praised the pioneer attempt at a re-interpretation of Gandhi's thought-school using philosophical models, without being overtly dependent on ex-post-facto political developments.
Reviewing for Indian Express, Raj Ayyar admired the work to be highly informed, which sidestepped the usual binary of being either overtly hagiographic or outright vituperative in nature.
Another review by Aakash Joshi admired the work as well, in that it distanced itself from political correctness and tackled a lot of usually-whitewashed controversies in Gandhi's life using novel philosophical concepts, without necessarily delving into a black-and-white territory.
A review over the The Book Review noted the work to be a closely-argued and seminal volume, which utilized novel philosophical concepts in dissecting and analyzing Gandhi; the development of scalology and hypophysics were praised, in particular.
A review over The Hindu noted the book to be an adventurous but affectionate work, which established Gandhi as a serious philosopher for time and beyond.
In a review for The Wire, J. Reghu praised the work as a highly original contribution, which ushered in a remarkable moment for classical philosophy in the subcontinent.
In the 2019/20 academic year the school offered programs in English and Slovene, and language instruction in French, German, Lithuanian, and Spanish.
The school is located in Ljubljana's Center District in the premises of the Ljubljana School Centre (), housed in a former Austro-Hungarian trade school built in 1911.
The immediate surroundings include the University of Ljubljana's Faculty of Pharmacy to the west, the Faculty of Arts to the north, the French embassy to the east, and residential housing to the south.
It refers particularly to a play in which a number of characters are called on stage, two of whom engage in a combat, the loser being revived by a doctor character.
It is generally performed seasonally or annually, often at Christmas, Easter or on Plough Monday, more rarely on Halloween or All Souls' Day, and often with a collection of money, in which the practice may be compared with other customs such as those of Halloween, Bonfire Night, wassailing, pace egging and first-footing at new year.
Mummers' and guisers' plays were formerly performed throughout much of English-speaking Great Britain and Ireland, spreading to other English-speaking parts of the world including Newfoundland and Saint Kitts and Nevis.
There are a few surviving traditional teams of mummers in England and Ireland, but there have been many revivals of mumming, often associated nowadays with morris and sword dance groups.
Broadly comic performances, the most common type features a doctor who has a magic potion able to resuscitate the vanquished character.
The characters may be introduced in a series of short speeches (usually in rhyming couplets) or they may introduce themselves in the course of the play's action.
The principal characters, presented in a wide variety of manners, are a hero, most commonly Saint George, King George, or Prince George (but Robin Hood in the Cotswolds and Galoshin in Scotland), and his chief opponent (known as the Turkish Knight in southern England, but named Slasher elsewhere), and a quack Doctor who comes to restore the dead man to life.
Other characters include: Old Father Christmas, who introduces some plays, the Fool and Beelzebub or Little Devil Doubt (who demands money from the audience).
In Ynysmeudwy near Swansea groups of four boys dressed as Crwmpyn (hunchback) John, Indian Dark, Robin Hood and Doctor Brown took the play from house to house on Bonfire Night and were rewarded with money.
In the few instances where the dragon appears and speaks its words can be traced back to a Cornish script published by William Sandys in 1833.
On Shrove Tuesday of 1557 Albert V, Duke of Bavaria went to visit the archbishop of Salzburg and played a game of dice with him.
Mumming, at any rate in the South of England, had its heyday at the end of the 19th century and the earliest years of the 20th century.
The revived plays are frequently taken around inns and public houses around Christmas time and the begging done for some charity rather than for the mummers themselves.
Although the main season for mumming throughout Britain was around Christmas, some parts of England had plays performed around All Souls' Day (known as Souling or soul-caking) or Easter (Pace-egging or Peace-egging).
Tradition has it that ploughboys would take their plays from house to house and perform in exchange for money or gifts, some teams pulling a plough and threatened to plough up people's front gardens or path if they did not pay up.
The Tup was usually represented by a boy, bent over forwards, covered with a sack, and carrying a broomstick with a rough, wooden sheep's head attached.
The custom persisted until at least 1970, when it was performed in private houses and pubs in Dore on New Year's Day.
All known Irish play scripts are in English though Irish custom and tradition have permeated mumming ceremony with famous characters from Irish history – Colmcille, Brian Boru, Art MacMorrough, Owen Roe O'Neill, Sarsfield and Wolfe Tone.
In 1831 Sir Walter Scott published a rhyme which had been used as a prelude to the Papa Stour Sword Dance, Shetland in around 1788.
It features seven characters, Saint George, Saint James, Saint Dennis, Saint David, Saint Patrick, Saint Anthony and Saint Andrew, the Seven Champions of Christendom.
They each dance with the shield upon their head, then it is laid on the floor and they withdraw their swords to finish the dance.
Emily Lyle captured the oral history of fourteen people from the lowlands of Scotland recounting their memories of the 'seasonal folk dramas' known as Galoshins.
Inspired by both these writers, and by folk play workshops at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, the Meadows Mummers are an all-female troupe who perform at local festivals and have recently (September 2019) returned from performing at the Scots Music School in Barga, Italy.
The parade traces back to mid-17th-century roots, blending elements from Swedish, Finnish, Irish, English, German, and other European heritages, as well as African heritage.
Revivals of this tradition are still celebrated annually in South Gloucestershire, England on Boxing Day along with other locations in England and in parts of Ireland on St. Stephen's Day and also in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador around Christmas.
Mumming was used as a means of entertaining at feasts and functions, particular mention is made of one feast where 150 torch bearers lead the same number of mummers in, who would do acrobatics in a variety of costumes, including animal costumes.
saint's days), a lot of the populace would put on masks, and in practices that vary with geography, celebrate the day.
If the lord couldn't match verse for verse the singing group (alternating verses), then that lord would have to provide amenities.
The formation of roving mumming groups became a popular practice so common it became associated with criminal or lewd behaviour, as the use of masks allowed anonymity; in the time of Henry VIII, it was banned for a period.
On documents such as receipts and bills from the late medieval, come details of mumming parties organised by English monarchs, Henry VIII being known for taking his court mumming incognito.
In keeping with the theme of an inversion of rules, and of disguise, crossdressing was a common strategy, and men would sometimes dress as women and women as men.
Travelling from house to house, some mummers would carry their own musical instruments to play, sing and dance in the houses they visited.
The host and hostess of these 'mummers parties' would serve a small lunch which could consist of Christmas cake with a glass of syrup or blueberry or dogberry wine.
As each mummer was identified, they would uncover their faces, but if their true identity is not guessed they did not have to unmask.
Mummers plays were performed in Philadelphia in the 18th century as part of a wide variety of working-class street celebrations around Christmas.
Unable to suppress the custom, by the 1880s the city government began to pursue a policy of co-option, requiring participants to join organized groups with designated leaders who had to apply for permits and were responsible for their groups actions.
They are depicted as a boisterous crowd dancing and laughing in outrageous costumes where men are dressed as women and women are dressed as men.
Finney Peak is an mountain summit located in the Methow Mountains, a sub-range of the North Cascades in Chelan County of Washington State.
As fronts approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades (Orographic lift).
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks, ridges, and deep glacial valleys.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to the various climate differences.
In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
It was Fjeldstad that correctly assumed the existence of the Lomonosov Ridge, which divides the Arctic Ocean into two large ocean basins.

The keystone from the House of Condé was added in the 16th century, while the façade was ended during the reign of Henry IV.
Because of his political commitments, the National Socialist rulers imposed a writing ban on him in 1934; consequently, in 1935, Rein became unemployed During the war, he was subject to compulsory service at the German National Railway and at times Rein was in Gestapo detention.
After the war's end, he worked for the Cultural Advisory Board for Publishing at the German Administration for Public Education until 1950.
The Cultural Advisory Board was initially tasked with removing from circulation work of a fascist or militaristic nature, but evolved to enforce official communist party cultural policy.
Initiated by Johannes R. Becher, a campaign was launched against the new literature in GDR magazines, which led to the publisher taking the book off the market and Rein's membership of the Cultural Advisory Board was suspended.
The novel appeared in a preprint from 6 October 1946 to 16 February 1947 in the Berliner Zeitung, and the book came out in 1947.
The book reached a circulation of 100,000 copies in 1951 and was one of the first German bestsellers of the postwar period.

In thermodynamics, the Volume Correction Factor (VCF), also known as the Correction for the effect of Temperature on Liquid (CTL), is a standardized computed factor used to correct for the thermal expansion of fluids, primarily, liquid hydrocarbons at various temperatures and densities.
This concept lies in the basis for the kinetic theory of matter and thermal expansion of matter, which states as the temperature of a substance rises, so does the average kinetic energy of its molecules.
As such, a rise in kinetic energy requires more space between the particles of a given substance, which leads to its physical expansion.
While the VCF is primarily used for liquid hydrocarbons, the theory and principles behind it apply to most liquids, with some exceptions.
As such, when these substances reach temperatures just above their freezing point, they begin to expand, since the angle of the bonds prevent the molecules from tightly fitting together, resulting in more empty space between the molecules in a solid state.
While these are the exceptions to general principles of thermal expansion and contraction, they would seldom, if ever, be used in conjunction with VCF / CTL, as the correction factors are dependent upon specific constants, which are further dependent on liquid hydrocarbon classifications and densities.
In standard applications, computing the VCF or CTL requires the observed temperature of the product, and its API gravity at 60° F. Once calculated, the corrected volume is the product of the VCF and the observed volume.
Traditionally, VCF / CTL are found by matching the observed temperature and API gravity within standardized books and tables published by the American Petroleum Institute.
These methods are often more time consuming than entering the values into an online VCF calculator; however, due to the variance in methodology and computation of constants, the tables published by the American Petroleum Institute are preferred when dealing with the purchase and sale of crude oil and residual fuels.

Following a 20 July suicide bombing in the Şanlıurfa Province of Turkey, believed to have been carried out by ISIL militants, as well as an ISIL cross-border attack that killed a Turkish serviceman on 23 July, Turkish armour and aircraft struck ISIL targets in cross-border engagements in northern Syria.
On 21 August, three Islamic State fighters, two of United Kingdom nationality, were targeted and killed in Raqqa by a British Royal Air Force MQ-9 Reaper strike.
Prime Minister David Cameron gave a statement to Parliament that one of the British nationals targeted had been plotting attacks in the UK.
In October 2015, 50 U.S. special forces operators were deployed to northern Syria to help train and coordinate anti-ISIL forces in the region.
The introduction of Russian aircraft and ship based cruise missiles in support of the Syrian Government to Syrian airspace created new threats to the U.S.-led coalition.
On 20 October, Canada's Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau informed Barack Obama by phone of Canada's intention to pull out of bombing raids in Syria.
After deadly terror attacks in Paris conducted by jihadists, French President Francois Hollande sent France's only aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle, with its 26 fighters to intensify air strikes.
On 27 November, SANA claimed that the coalition targeted water pumping stations in al-Khafsah area, east of Aleppo, causing them to go out of service.
Within hours, RAF Tornado jets carried out their first air strikes, targeting the al-Omar oil fields near Deir ez-Zor in eastern Syria, which were under ISIL control.
On 6 December, a Syrian Arab Army base at Deir ez-Zor was struck, killing at least one Syrian Arab Army soldier, with reports circulating that as many as four were killed, 13 wounded and two tanks destroyed.
Syria accused the U.S. of conducting the strike, however U.S. officials denied this, claiming instead that the bombing was a mistake by Russians.
On 4 March, a U.S.-led Coalition airstrike targeted Omar al-Shishani, ISIL's top field commander, who was travelling in a convoy near al-Shaddadi in northeastern Syria.
Also on 4 March, 100 ISIL militants assaulted Peshmerga lines in Syria; U.S. Navy SEAL Charles Keating IV helped the Peshmerga to repel the attack.
On 24 March, U.S. special operations forces conducted an operation with the intent of capturing Abd al-Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli in Syria.
Al-Qaduli, then the 6th most wanted terrorist in the world and, according to analysts, the then-second-in-command of ISIL, acting as the group's finance minister and was involved in external plots; he also temporarily commanded ISIL after a commander was injured.
U.S. Special forces inserted by helicopter and laid in wait to intercept his vehicle; the operators attempted to capture him but the situation escalated and, at the last moment, they decided to fire on the vehicle instead, killing al-Qaduli and 3 other militants.
On 25 April, it was reported that U.S. President Barack Obama authorized the deployment of an additional 250 special operations soldiers to Syria.
In the following weeks, they are to join the 50 that are already in the country; their main aim is to advise, assist and expand the ongoing effort to bring more Syrian Arab fighters into units the U.S. supports in northern Syria to combat ISIL.
In late May 2016, more than a dozen U.S. special forces troops were seen in the village of Fatisah, less than north of Raqqa.
They were fighting near the front lines with the YPG and wearing both YPG and U.S. insignia on their military uniforms; the operators were helping call in fire support for local SDF forces and coordinating airstrikes from behind the front lines in their advance toward Raqqa.
Also in late May, a U.S. special forces operator was wounded north of Raqqa by indirect ISIL rocket or mortar fire.
The NSA captured the village that month and faced regular ISIL attacks; an ISIL SVBIED drove into the base and killed 11 members of the NSA and injuring 17 others.
The wounded were CASEVAC'd by U.S. helicopters to Jordan; the suicide attack damaged the structure of the al-Tanf base; British troops crossed over from Jordan to help them to rebuild their defences.
In the 24 hours since the start of offensive, 18 U.S. airstrikes destroyed ISIL headquarters buildings, weapons caches, training areas, six bridges and an unknown number of ISIL fighters were killed; 15 civilians were also reported killed.
It was the first time the U.S. Navy had conducted strike missions in the Middle East from the Mediterranean Sea since flying operations against the Iraqi military in 2003.
By 9 June, the U.S. Central Command said the Coalition had conducted more than 105 strikes in support of the SDF's advance; French special forces were offering training and advice to SDF fighters in the area and on 15 June, British special forces were also reported to be operating in the area.
Much of the SDF advance was made possible by Coalition air support, with airstrikes being directed by special forces personnel on the ground.
On 16 June, supposedly as part of Russia's campaign to pressure the U.S. to agree to closer cooperation over Syria, Russian military aircraft bombed, with cluster bombs, a military outpost in al-Tanf in southeast Syria that was garrisoned by the New Syrian Army (NSA); U.S. and British special forces based in Jordan regularly worked with Syrian rebels at the al-Tanf outpost.
After the airstrike took place, U.S. commanders warned Russia that the garrison was part of the international coalition against ISIL and therefore should not be attacked, but 90 minutes later, nearby U.S. warplanes observed Russian jets dropping a second barrage of bombs on the outpost, killing four rebel soldiers.
Moscow also claimed its air command headquarters in Syria was unable to call off the strikes because the U.S. had not given them the precise position of the outpost.
On 29 June, as part of the 2016 Abu Kamal offensive — the offensive by the Pentagon-trained New Syrian Army and several hundred other rebels from different factions that aimed to capture Abu Kamal and sever ISIL's transit link between Syria and Iraq — rebel forces entered the al-Hamdan air base — northwest of the border town Abu Kamal following intense clashes.
This followed significant advances into ISIL-held territory near the Abu Kamal border crossing, the NSA said it had captured a number of ISIL positions on the outskirts of Abu Kamal, but a raid on the town at dawn was reported to have been repelled by militants.
Fighting continued around the town, as coalition airstrikes were carried out on ISIL hideouts; the NSA also said it was coordinating the assault with Iraqi government forces, who were advancing on the border from the other side.
U.S. special forces had initially intended to accompany the offensive but the U.S. was still working on approving the proposal when Turkish units pushed across the border.
Abu Hajer al-Homsi was one of the founding members of the al-Nusra Front and had taken part in the Iraq War against the U.S. when he was part of the processor organization al-Qaeda in Iraq.
On 17 September, two U.S. A-10s, two Danish F-16s, and a UK Reaper drone mistakenly bombed a Syrian Army-controlled base in the ISIL-besieged city of Deir ez-Zor.
ISIL forces attacked immediately after the Coalition airstrike and took the strategically important elevation near Deir ez-Zor airbase: Tharda (Thurda) mountain.
According to Russian and Syrian government sources, SAA forces, supported by Russian and Syrian airstrikes, counterattacked and recaptured Tharda mountain by the end of the day, suffering additional losses, including one Syrian jet fighter.
The USAF immediately issued an official explanation - it was a navigation\intelligence mistake and bombing was stopped after Russian Air Force contact informed them about the SAA loses.
The Danish Air Force confirmed that their two F-16 fighters participated in the airstrike, insisting that operations stopped the split-second they received the message from the Russians and explaining it as a mistake and was regretting the losses.
Russia also called for a meeting of the United Nations Security Council over the airstrike and the U.S. temporarily ceased airstrikes in the area.
On 3 October, Ahmad Salama Mabruk, a senior al-Nusra Front and previously Egyptian Islamic Jihad commander, was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Jisr al-Shughur.
It was the first time a U.S. service member was killed in Syria since a contingent of SOF was deployed there in October 2015.
The airbase gave the U.S. an additional location for its aircraft to support the Coalition and other anti-ISIL forces, but it had been used by U.S. forces limitedly due to the condition of the runway which restricted what types of aircraft could land there.
General Carlton Everhart II, commander of U.S. Air Mobility Command, said that the base enabled aircraft to deliver critical supplies, equipment and help position forces; he added that airmen from the 621st group have supported anti-ISIL coalition forces on the ground in Syria.
On 4 December, it was reported that a U.S. airstrike in Raqqa killed three key ISIL leaders, two of whom (Salah Gourmat and Sammy Djedou) were involved in plotting the November 2015 Paris attacks.
On 8 December, during the 4th Palmyra offensive, U.S.-led Coalition warplanes bombed an ISIL convoy near Palmyra in central Syria and destroyed 168 trucks carrying petroleum.
On 10 December, it was reported that the U.S. was sending 200 more special operations personnel to Syria, joining the 300 U.S. special forces already in the country.
In particular, the troops will assist SDF forces in the ongoing Raqqa offensive; France also continues to have special operations units in the country.
On 31 December, a Coalition airstrike in Raqqa killed Mahmud al-Isawi, al-Isawi was an ISIL member who supported the organization's media and intelligence structure in Fallujah before relocating to Raqqa.
His role in the group was controlling the flow of instructions and finances between ISIL-held areas and ISIL leaders and provided support to propaganda and intelligence outlets; he was also known to have facilitated trans-regional travel with other ISIL external operations coordinators and had a close working and personal relationship with Abd al-Basit al-Iraqi, the emir of ISIL's Middle East attack network, according to the U.S. defense department.
On 1 January 2017, a United States drone strike killed Abu Omar al-Turkistani, a Jabhat Fatah al-Sham and Turkistan Islamic Party military commander, and three other JFS members near the town of Sarmada in the northern Idlib Governorate.
On 6 January, as part of the Raqqa offensive, SDF forces, supported by American special forces and international coalition aircraft, seized Qalaat Jaabar fortress after fierce fighting with ISIL jihadist fighters.
On 8 January, coalition forces conducted a landing operation onto the road between the villages of Jazra and Kabr in the western Deir ez-Zor Governorate from four helicopters.
The landing forces set up checkpoints on the road and raided a water plant in Kabr, where they killed and captured a number of ISIL fighters.
On 11 January, an air-to-surface missile launched from suspected U.S. aircraft hit a Jabhat Fatah al-Sham (JFS) convoy consisting of five vehicles and killed 14 JFS members.
On 17 January, separate U.S. airstrikes in the Idlib Governorate killed Mohammad Habib Boussaboun al-Tunisi and Abd al-Jalil al-Muslimi, two Tunisian al-Qaeda external operations leaders.
Also that day, it was reported that U.S. warplanes and combat advisers were supporting Turkish military units battling ISIL fighters in northern Syria, particularly at the Battle of al-Bab.
On 19 January, U.S. airstrikes by B-52 strategic bombers struck the former Syrian Army Sheikh Suleiman military base near Darat Izza, in western Aleppo, which was used by Jabhat Fatah al-Sham and the Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), between 22 September 2014 and 23 January 2017, U.S.-led Coalition airstrikes killed 7,043 people across Syria, of which: 5,768 dead were ISIL fighters, 304 al-Nusra Front militants and other rebels, 90 Syrian government soldiers and 881 civilians.
On 1 February, it was reported that the U.S.-led Coalition had conducted an airstrike on the Carlton Hotel in the city of Idlib, which local and NGO sources said was a Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) facility and which pro-government media said was used by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)'s former al-Nusra component for troop housing, and hosting meetings of prominent commanders.
The Coalition denied responsibility, although an investigation of open source materials confirmed a strike had occurred and that a SARC facility was damaged.
On 2 February, Sky News reported that Turkish aircraft killed 51 Islamic State fighters in the space of 24 hours in the areas of al-Bab, Tadef, Qabasin, and Bizaah.
On 3 February, U.S. airstrikes hit Jund al-Aqsa and Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) positions in Sarmin, near Idlib, and killed more than 12 militants.
On 4 February, a U.S. airstrike killed Abu Hani al-Masri, who was part of Ahrar al-Sham at the time of his death, but described by the Pentagon as a former al-Qaeda commander.
It was later revealed in May 2019 that the missile used in the airstrike was a Hellfire R9X, which has a kinetic warhead with pop-out blades, intended to reduce collateral damage.
On 8 March, various news outlets reported that regular U.S. troops, part of an amphibious task force, left their ships in the Middle East and deployed to Syria to establish an outpost from which they can provide artillery support for U.S.-backed local forces who were preparing to assault Raqqa in a battle to liberate the city from ISIL control.
The deployment marked a new escalation in the U.S.'s role in Syria and put more conventional U.S. troops on the ground, a role that, thus far, had primarily been filled by Special Operations units.
The ground force was part of the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit; 400 U.S. Marines from the Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 4th Marines were tasked to crew an artillery battery of M777 howitzers whilst additional infantrymen from the unit will provide security.
A defense official with direct knowledge of the operation said the Marines were flown from Djibouti to Kuwait and then into Syria.
By then, there were 900 U.S. soldiers and Marines deployed to Syria in total (500 special forces troops were already on the ground to train and support the SDF); under the existing limits put in place by the Obama administration, the formal troop cap for Syria is 503 personnel, but commanders have the authority to temporarily exceed that limit to meet military requirements.
There were approximately 100 U.S. Army Rangers in Stryker vehicles and armored Humvees deployed in and around Manbij in northern Syria, U.S. officials said.
Officially, they were deployed there to discourage Syrian, Russian, or Turkish troops from making any moves that could shift the focus away from an assault on ISIL militants, specifically preventing them from inadvertently coming under fire.
The U.S. believed the pressure on ISIL in Raqqa was working – a U.S. official said that intelligence indicated some ISIL leadership and operatives were continuing to try to leave the city.
He added that there was also U.S. intelligence indicating the city was laced with trenches, tunnels, roadside bombs and buildings wired to explode, which, if correct, indicated that the U.S. was able to gather intelligence from both overhead surveillance aircraft and people on the ground.
On 16 March, a U.S. drone strike hit a mosque west of Aleppo and killed between 45 and 49 people, mostly civilians.
The location was assessed by the U.S. military as a meeting place for al-Qaeda and claimed that the airstrike hit a target across the mosque and was not targeted at the mosque itself.
On 22 March, hundreds of SDF fighters, with an undisclosed number of U.S. Special Operations troops operating as their advisers, launched a large-scale heliborne assault on ISIL around the area of the Tabqa Dam.
They were inserted on the southern bank of the Euphrates river behind ISIL's defenses to take them by surprise; Colonel Joe Scrocca, an OIR spokesman, said that as a result of the air insertion behind ISIL lines, the SOF-SDF force did not come under fire.
The following day, there was heavy fighting in the area; Col. Scrocca added that the ground forces were supported by helicopter gunships, U.S. Marine 155mm artillery and U.S. airstrikes.
The deadliest incident occurred in al-Mansoura, where local witnesses said at least 33 civilians were killed in a former school used to house displaced persons, although this was denied by the Coalition.
During the operation, U.S. forces killed four ISIL commanders and extracted a Jordanian spy who had infiltrated ISIL and served as one of its leaders.
CNN reported that the operation took place near Mayadin and that one of the ISIL commanders killed by U.S. forces was Abdurakhmon Uzbeki, a top facilitator and close associate of ISIL's leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi; he was also connected to the 2017 New Year's nightclub bombing in Turkey.
On 7 April, in response to chemical weapon attacks (most notably the Khan Shaykhun chemical attack) against Syrian civilians allegedly by the Syrian government, the U.S. launched missile strikes on the airfield from which the chemical weapon attacks were allegedly launched.
The Russian Foreign Ministry denounced the attack as being based on false intelligence and against international law, suspended the Memorandum of Understanding on Prevention of Flight Safety Incidents that had been signed with the U.S., and called an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.
On 8 April, ISIL militants attacked a U.S. garrison at al-Tanf in Southern Syria: the garrison's main gate was blown up with a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED), followed by a ground assault of about 20-30 ISIL militants, some of whom were wearing suicide vests.
special operators″ at the base along with other coalition members and ″U.S.-backed Syrian fighters″, supported by multiple airstrikes, repelled the attack, with no American casualties.
CNN reported that on 11 April, a misdirected U.S. airstrike near Tabqa, during the ongoing Raqqa offensive, killed 18 SDF soldiers.
According to a U.S. defense official, before the strikes were conducted, government troops were warned they were getting too close to Coalition forces garrisoned at al-Tanf but did not respond.
On 8 June, a U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft shot down a drone and other aircraft destroyed two armed pick-up trucks belonging to pro-government forces that moved near U.S. backed fighters at al-Tanf.
On 18 June, a U.S. F/A-18E Super Hornet shot down a Syrian Su-22 after it allegedly bombed an SDF position in Ja'Din, south of Tabqa.
Across Iraq and Syria, Airwars tracked 223 reported Coalition airstrikes with civilian casualties during June 2017, likely killing a minimum of between 529 and 744 civilians (including at least 415 in Syria, mainly in Raqqa governorate, making it the second mostly deadly month for civilians since the strikes began in 2014.
Significant reported incidents included 3 June in Raqqa (20 civilians), 5 June (hitting civilians fleeing conflict), and 8 June in Raqqa (including reported white phosphorus use and a mosque hit).
On 21 August, U.S. forces in northern Syria were fired on by Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army units near Manbij, and returned fire in a short firefight.
On 29 August, following the Qalamoun offensive, ISIL militants were surrounded by Lebanese, Hezbollah and Syrian forces on both sides of the Lebanon–Syria border.
They negotiated a safe-passage deal so that 670 ISIL fighters and their relatives would be taken from the border in vehicles to Abu Kamal.
The U.S. military disapproved of the deal; Colonel Ryan Dillon, a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition said the deal undermined efforts to fight the ISIL in Syria.
U.S. aircraft carried out airstrikes, blocking the road the ISIL convoy was travelling on, before it reached ISIL-occupied territory in Deir ez-Zor Governorate.
On 22 December, Australian Defense Minister Marise Payne said that Australia will end their air strikes against the Islamic State and recall its six Super Hornet aircraft.
Payne added that other Australian operations in the region would continue, with 80 personnel who are part of the Special Operations Task Group in Iraq, including Australian special forces, continuing their deployment.
Syrian state news corroborated the events, but insisted that the Kurdish forces were mixed in with ISIL forces; it also stated that ten Russian mercenaries were among those killed.
On 14 April, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the U.S., France, and the United Kingdom had decided to carry out a series of military strikes against the Syrian government.
On 1 May, the SDF, in coordination with the Iraqi Armed Forces, announced the resumption of their Deir ez-Zor offensive to capture the final ISIL enclaves near the Iraqi border and along the Euphrates.
One 21 June, the U.S.-led coalition conducted airstrikes against Syrian army positions in east of Homs, killing at least 1 Syrian soldier.
On 1 November, the Coalition began a series of joint patrols with the Turkish Armed Forces along the frontlines of the Kurdish-controlled Manbij region and the Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army's territory.
On 21 November, U.S. Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis announced the U.S. would set up new observation posts along the Turkish border in northern Syria in order to reduce skirmishes between Turkish forces and armed Kurdish militants in the region such as the border clashes in late October-early November.
Mattis affirmed that it was a co-operational endeavor with Turkey and it will not require additional U.S. troops to be deployed to Syria.
Trump made the announcement on Twitter, overruling the recommendations of his military commanders and civilian advisors, with apparently no prior consultation with Congress.
Following Trump's surprise announcement, the Pentagon and State Department tried to change his mind, with several of his congressional and political allies expressing serious concerns about the sudden move, specifically that it would hand control of the region to Russia and Iran and abandon America's Kurdish allies.
CNN reported on 24 December that during the weeks before Trump's withdrawal announcement, national security advisor John Bolton told senior officials to meet directly with anti-ISIL coalition partners to assure them that America would remain in Syria until Iran had left.
Senator Lindsey Graham and a group of generals held a luncheon with the president over the withdrawal, Graham tweeted that Trump would seek a more gradual withdrawal over a course of several months; a slow down of the withdrawal was not officially confirmed by the administration at the time.
In December 2018, US President Donald Trump announced that US troops involved in the fight against the Islamic State (ISIS) in northeast Syria would be withdrawn imminently.
Many experts proposed that President Trump could mitigate the damage of his withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Syria by using Special Activities Center.
Already experienced in operations in Syria, the CIA has numerous paramilitary officers who have the skills to operate independently in harms way.
And while the CIA lacks the numbers to replace all 2,000 U.S. military personnel currently in Syria and work alongside the Syrian Democratic Forces (these CIA personnel are spread cross the world), but their model is based on fewer enablers and support.
On 6 January 2019, U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton, while on a trip to Israel and Turkey, said that the pullout of U.S. troops from Syria depended on certain conditions, including the assurance that the remnants of ISIL forces are defeated and Kurds in northern Syria were safe from Turkish forces.
On 10 January, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the U.S. would withdraw its troops from Syria while continuing the battle against ISIL.
U.S. defense officials said it had begun the removal of equipment, but not yet troops, and that the total amount of U.S. soldiers in Syria may temporarily increase in order to provide security for the final pullout.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian welcomed what he believed was a slower, more effective withdrawal by the U.S. after pressure from its allies.
Between 30 December 2018 and 6 January 2019, the Coalition conducted 575 air and artillery strikes against ISIL in Syria; the strikes destroyed 105 ISIL mortar and rocket artillery units, 50 IED manufacturing sites, 26 vehicles, 19 weapons caches, and two UAV systems.
President Donald Trump reiterated his support for withdrawing American ground troops from both Syria and Afghanistan in a series of tweets on 1 February amid proliferating concerns among America's allies, politicians, analysts, and local activists over a feared power vacuum in Syria post-withdrawal.
A draft Pentagon report emerged on 1 February warning that ISIL could regain territory in Syria within a year following a U.S. disengagement from Syria.
On 5 February, CENTCOM commander General Joseph Votel noted during a Senate Armed Services Committee testimony that he had not been consulted prior to Trump's decision to withdraw American forces, reinforcing the notion that the U.S. withdrawal was ordered completely unilaterally from the White House without prior consultation with relevant military advisors and Defense Department personnel.
On 6 February, President Trump, while at a summit of 79 foreign ministers and officials that assisted in the global coalition against ISIL, predicted a formal announcement of a final victory against ISIL as early as the following week.
An Operation Inherent Resolve summary on Coalition activity between 27 January and 9 February detailed air and artillery strikes conducted in Iraq and Syria.
After the SDF's assault on Baghuz Fawqani began on 9 February, CENTCOM commander Joseph Votel told CNN on 11 February that ISIL losing physical territory does not mean the end of the organization.
Trump tweeted late on 16 February urging European countries to repatriate the over 800 captured suspected ISIL members from Syria, warning the U.S. may be forced to release them otherwise.
Britain has said its fighters can return only if they seek consular help in Turkey, while acknowledging repatriation was a dilemma.
On 23 March, the U.S.-backed SDF announced victory in the battle of Baghuz, signifying the territorial collapse of ISIL in Syria, a critical milestone for the U.S.-led Syrian intervention.
U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Michael Mulroy stated that the physical caliphate was defeated but ISIL was not and that there were over 10,000 completely unrepentant fighters left in Syria and Iraq.
He expected the U.S. to be in Syria for the long haul with a very capable partner in the Syrian Democratic Forces.
He said that the U.S. partnership with the SDF was a model to follow, like the partnership with the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan to defeat the Taliban and with the Kurdish Peshmerga in Iraq as the northern front against Saddam Hussein.
U.S.-Turkish negotiations over joint troop patrols in a designated safe zone along the northern Turkish-Syrian border continued into late April as the UK and France rejected a plan to provide troops to a buffer zone between Rojava and Turkey, claiming their missions in Syria are only to fight ISIL.
With their troop numbers set to be cut to 1,000 in upcoming months, the U.S. reportedly prefers a narrower strip of land to patrol than the approximately 20 miles that Turkey has proposed.
The Turkish proposal reportedly saw push back as the Americans prefer to avoid a situation that effectively pushes the Turkish border 20 miles into Syria, further increasing the chances of clashes with the Kurds instead of reducing it.
The report argued that the U.S. should step up attempts to isolate Assad and counter Iranian influence in the region; it also argued that the U.S. should take in more Syrian refugees, the admittance of which the Trump administration has reduced from thousands to just a few dozen in recent years.
The report further underlined the differing views between the president and comparatively more hawkish Congress on what direction to take the U.S.'s commitments in the country.
On 30 June 2019, in a rare operation against non-ISIL elements, the U.S. carried out a strike against an al-Qaeda in Syria (AQ-S) leadership meeting at a training facility west of Aleppo, which killed eight jihadists from the Guardians of Religion Organization, including six commanders: two Tunisians, two Algerians, an Egyptian and a Syrian.
It was the first known coalition strike in western Syria since February 2017 due to the U.S. and Russia arranging an unofficial deconfliction boundary that largely bars any substantial U.S. forces from venturing into the region.
In July, U.S. special anti-ISIL envoy James Jeffrey continued to urge Britain, France and Germany to assist the U.S.'s ground mission in Syria.
During a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Deputy Secretary of Defense for the Middle East Michael Mulroy stated that the SDF has over 2,000 foreign terrorist fighters in custody from over 50 countries—in which they spend quite a bit of time, effort and resources taking care of—and that the U.S. has pushed these countries to take back their citizens.
The number of American nationals who joined ISIL on the battlefield is small compared to countries like France and the UK, where several hundred foreign fighters traveled from.
On 7 August 2019, the U.S. and Turkey reached a framework deal to jointly implement a demilitarized buffer zone in the areas between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers—excluding the Manbij area—in northern Syria.
Terms of the deal include joint U.S.-Turkish ground patrols, the relocation of some Syrian refugees into the area, and the withdrawal of heavily armed YPG and YPJ forces and fortifications from the Syria–Turkey border, leaving the areas under SDF military council rule instead.
On 31 August, in a second attack against non-ISIL militants in western Syria since June 30, the U.S. carried out a series of airstrikes on a Rouse the Believers Operations Room meeting between Kafriya and Maarrat Misrin, killing over 40 Guardians of Religion militants, including several leaders.
The sudden withdrawal proved controversial as U.S. Congress members of both parties sharply denounced the move, including Republican allies of Trump such as Senator Lindsey Graham and Mitch Mcconnell.
They argued that the move betrayed the American-allied Kurds, and would only benefit ISIL, Turkey, Russia, Iran and Bashar al-Assad's Syrian regime.
After the U.S. pullout, Turkey launched its ground offensive into Kurdish-controlled areas in northeast Syria on 9 October, spelling the collapse of the Turkey–U.S.
Hours later, the Kurdish forces, concluding that it would help save Kurdish lives, announced an alliance with the Syrian government and its Russian allies, in a united effort to repel the Turkish offensive.
On 25 October, Mark Esper confirmed the U.S. had partially reversed its Syria pullout and that the U.S. had a new dedicated mission to guard and secure Syrian oil and gas fields and infrastructure, assisted by the deployment of mechanized infantry units.
On 26 October 2019, U.S. Joint Special Operations Command's (JSOC) 1st SFOD-D (Delta Force) conducted a high-profile raid into Idlib Governorate near the border with Turkey that resulted in the death of ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
By November, there had been a steady flow of pictures and videos online showing U.S., Syrian, and Russian forces passing by each other in northern Syria.
On 3 November, a U.S. convoy came within one kilometer of a Turkish-backed rebel artillery strike near Tell Tamer, with no U.S. personnel injured.
The Pentagon also insisted that the revenue from the Syrian oil fields the U.S. is protecting will go to the SDF, not the U.S., despite President Trump raising the possibility in late October of American oil companies taking over the oilfields.
The report assessed that Turkey's incursion impacted the U.S.'s relationship with the Syrian Kurds, greatly shifted the balance of power in north Syria, and disrupted CJTF-OIR and SDF counter-terrorism operations to the point of giving ISIL ample room to quickly resurge.
The report, like the Syria Study Group's May 2019 report, further underscored the differing attitudes of the Trump White House and the intelligence community on the state of the intervention.
Local sources reported that a team of 15 Egyptian and Saudi engineers and technicians arrived at the al-Omar oil field in Deir ez-Zor on 13 December, reportedly tasked by the U.S. with enhancing oil production at the field and training locals to observe oil productivity in the area.
On 18 January, U.S. troops blocked a Russian convoy from entering Rmelan, where the U.S. is protecting oil fields under SDF control.
Tension occurred between the two groups as U.S. soldiers asked the Russian soldiers to return to the Amuda district in northwest of Al-Hasakah Governorate.
Tensions between Russian and American forces continued to grow as U.S. troops again blocked a Russian convoy from using a main road to between two Kurdish-held towns on 21 January.
On 23 January, in regards to ISIL activity in Iraq and northeastern Syria, ambassador James Jeffrey stated there was no uptick in violence following the U.S. drone strike in Baghdad on 3 January that killed an Iranian general.
Manuel Marrero Cruz (born 11 July 1963), also known as Manuel Marrero, is a Cuban politician currently serving as the 19th Prime Minister of Cuba, and the first since Cuba resurrected the office of the Prime Minister in December 2019 after the 43-year abolishment of the position from 1976 to 2019.
A member of the Communist Party of Cuba, Marrero served as the country's long-time Minister of Tourism from 2004 until his appointment to the office of Prime Minister in 2019.
Following the 2019 Cuban constitutional referendum, the office of Prime Minister of Cuba was reinstated for the first time since Fidel Castro occupied it in 1976.

Michael J. Capanegro (May 17, 1927 – March 17, 2004) was an American politician who served in the New York State Assembly from Queens's 8th district from 1961 to 1965.
The 1928 United States presidential election in South Dakota took place on November 6, 1928, as part of the 1928 United States presidential election which was held throughout all contemporary 48 states.
Ever since statehood South Dakota had been solidly Republican apart from when supporting Populist-backed William Jennings Bryan by an exceedingly narrow 0.22% margin in 1896.
However, the state had been one of the strongest for insurgent Robert M. La Follette senior in 1924, and after La Follette died six months following that election his family would endorse New York City Catholic Democrat Al Smith rather than any Republican.
In the more Catholic states of North Dakota and Wisconsin, this endorsement would have a major effect in reviving a largely moribund Democratic Party at a presidential level, although it was not adequate to give Smith those states’ electoral votes.
In less Catholic and more Ozark-settled and Methodist South Dakota, anti-Catholicism was a powerful force in most areas and as a result Smith’s gain on Davis’ vote was much less, with the exception of a few powerfully pro-La Follette German Lutheran counties whose voters were lured by Smith’s opposition to Prohibition.
Smith was the first ever Democrat to win McPherson County, but South Dakota still voted for Republican nominee Herbert Hoover by a margin of 20.98%, which made it 3.56% more Republican than the nation at-large in a major landslide.

In 2018, Ho received the L'Oréal-UNESCO International Rising Talent Award in recognition of her work toward developing a predictive model estimating the risk of breast cancer for Southeast Asian women.
Ho attended Northumbria University from 2002 to 2005 and graduated with a Bachelor of Science with Honours (BSc(Hons)) degree in Mathematics.
Ho's first postdoctoral research experience was at the National Institute for Health Research, where she applied advanced mathematic methodology to child speech and development studies and trained health professionals in the use of statistical methods.
From January 2011 to April 2013, Ho worked as a medical and genetic statistician at the University of Cambridge Department of Public Health and Primary Care.
A month later, in June 2013, she joined the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus as an assistant professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and was promoted to associate professor in 2017.
While having only one of these variations typically results in little to no effect on an individual's health, inheriting a combination of these variations could be detrimental for breast cancer risk.
Thus, the goal of Ho's current research is to determine which combination of variations associated with breast cancer risk will result in the greatest predicted breast cancer risk.
Ho's research utilizes research led by her friend and colleague Teo Soo Hwang, the CEO of Cancer Research Malaysia, the largest breast cancer study in Malaysia.
The motivation behind Ho's research is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of breast cancer screening in Malaysia, where the number of breast cancer cases are expected to increase by 50% in the next decade.
By identifying women with a greater risk of developing breast cancer, Ho hopes to establish a more personalized, patient-centered breast cancer screening program.
She was awarded the L'Oréal-UNESCO Malaysia For Women in Science Fellowship for her work in 2017, and named a L'Oréal-UNESCO International Rising Talent in 2018.

Sallay Mahomet (16 September 1911 – 15 July 1983), sometimes spelled Saleh, was an Afghan Cameleer and camel trainer who spent much of his life in Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.
Mahomet is best remembered for helping train Robyn Davidson for her 1977 camel expedition which is documented in her book 'Tracks'.
Mahomet was the son of Afghan Cameleer Gool Mahomet and his wife, former French prostitute, Desiree Ernestine Adrienne Lesire who, following her marriage and conversion to Islam changed her name to MIriam Bebe.
He was the couples first child, born at Coolgardie, Western Australia on 16 September 1911, and his family moved around Australia for much of his childhood and early adulthood.
In 1931 Mahomet stopped travelling as much as he had when his father leased, and later purchased, Mulgaria Station in South Australia and he worked there for many years; taking over the management of it following his fathers death in 1950.
In 1947 Mahomet married Australian woman Iris in two ceremonies; first a Muslim-Afghan ritual at the Adelaide Mosque (where he was Mullah) and then, on the same day, a christian ceremony.
Mahomet had an active Muslim faith for all of his life and, for many years he and his father Gool paid the rates and taxes for the impoverished Adelaide Mosque.
In 1962 Mahomet sold the station and moved to Alice Springs in 1963, where he established the 'Mahomet Trucking Company' with his three sons.
In Alice Springs Mahomet became a leader of the Islamic community in Alice Springs: a community made up primarily of descendants of the Afghan Cameleers.
In 1975, following an unexpected phone call, Mahomet was asked to represent the Australian Government, then led by Gough Whitlam, on a trip to Saudi Arabia where he would present King Faisal with camels.
Whitlam hoped that this gift would link these two countries in a 'cultural cousinship' and that this wealthy Arab nation would loan Australia money.
On his return from this trip Mahomet sold his trucking company and established the Alice Springs Camel Farm as camels were becoming a popular tourist attraction in Alice Springs.
One of his students was Robyn Davidson who intended (and succeeded) in completed a solo overland journey with camels across the Gibson Desert and to the Pacific Ocean.
Mahomet trained Davidson for more than a year and provided her with two of the camels (Kate and Zeleika) that would accompany her on the journey.
During this journey Davidson said that she would often recall Mahomet's advice and warnings; especially when faced with the ferocity of in season wild camels eyeing her herd.

The Sound of Barra is a large ocean inlet or sound situated to the north of the isle of Barra and to the south of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides in Scotland.
It is a Site of Community Importance (SCI), having been proposed by Scotland and adopted by the European Commission but not yet formally designated by the government as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC).
The Sound of Barra is composed of 98.91% marine and inlet areas, 1.07% mudflats and other semi-submerged areas and 0.02% sea cliffs and islets.
There is a ferry service across the sound from Ardmore (Scottish Gaelic: Aird Mhòr) on Barra to Ceann a' Ghàraidh on the island of Eriskay.
The primary reasons for its status as a SAC are the benefits to marine conservation of its sandbanks and reefs with their diverse flora and including maerl and other red algae, kelp communities and fauna such as barnacles and mussels and the presence of harbour seals also being a qualifying feature.
A 12 week consultation process was undertaken by Scottish National Heritage on behalf of the Scottish Government in the autumn of 2011 with two public meetings to be held in Castlebay on Barra and on Eriskay as well as inviting submissions by letter and e-mail.

Robert David Moir (2 April 1961 – 20 December 2019) was an Australian-born medical research scientist who theorized that the over-accumulation of beta-amyloid, which had formed to protect the brain against microbes, aided the development of Alzheimer's disease in the human brain.
He was born in Kojonup in Western Australia to Terrence and Mary Moir who were farmers and had three siblings, Margaret, Andrew and Catherine.
He said he only learnt to read and write at age twelve but became an avid reader of all things scientific.
On completion of high school, he studied biochemistry at the University of Western Australia with one of his microbiology lecturers being Nobel Prize winner Dr Barry Marshall, who discovered that H. pylori cause ulcers.
Moir immigrated to the United States in 1994 to work in Dr Rudolph Tanzi's laboratory at Harvard University as an Alzheimer’s biochemist.
He continued working for Tanzi as a post-doctoral fellow and would eventually become an assistant professor in neurology at Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital and his own laboratory at the institution.
In 2007 he came across a research article about an antimicrobial peptide called LL37 that killed viruses, fungi and bacteria in the brain and which he thought could be a twin of the beta-amyloid, another antimicrobial.
Tanzi's work at the time focused on genes that increased the risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease and the inbuilt ability of some to fight germs so Moir proposed that beta-amyloid might have an anti-microbial effect in Alzheimer's.
The theory was that the beta-amyloid creates a plaque that captures the dangerous microbes and protects the brain but too much build-up of the plaque could become toxic and cause Alzheimer’s disease to develop.
Tanzi encouraged Moir to continue research into the use of beta-amyloids to kill pathogens, funding it out of the former's research funding.
Testing proved the theory in live Alzheimer's mice and he then attempted to publish in six journals in 2014 but was rejected by peers.
When the research article was published in 2016, it was regarded as one of the top five advances in Neurology for that year.
Moir struggled for many years to obtain funding for his research, like many in his field, as those reviewing funding applications and those vetting papers for possible publication, viewed alternative explanations for the cause of Alzheimer's Disease as wrong.
Attempting another request for a grant from the NIH in 2018 for further research into the herpes virus and Alzheimer's was rejected before money was found in early 2019.
Rob had three children; Alexander Moir, with his first wife Elena Vaillancourt, and Maxwell and Holly with his wife, Julie Alperen .
He was restored in the Red Army and in November 1939, he was appointed chief of staff of the Kharkov Military District.
After the start of Operation Barbarossa, the 67th Rifle Corps became in July 1941 part of the 21st Army of the Western Front and under the command of Zhmachenko, participated in the Rogechev-Zhlobin Offensive Operation (or Battle of Babruysk).
With his Army, he fought in the Battle of Kiev (1943), Dnieper–Carpathian Offensive, Jassy–Kishinev Offensive, Bucharest-Arad Offensive, Battle of Debrecen, Siege of Budapest, Banská Bystrica and Bratislava–Brno Offensive, Prague Offensive, and the liberation of Romania, Hungary and Czechoslovakia.
Zhmachenko was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union for crossing the Dnieper River and holding the bridgehead south of Kiev.
Since 1949, he was the deputy commander of the Belarusian Military District and in November 1953 of the Carpathian Military District.

Il Ruggiero (full name: Il Ruggiero ovvero L'eroica gratitudine) is an opera in three acts composed by Johann Adolph Hasse to a libretto by Pietro Metastasio.
It was first staged on 16 October 1771 for the wedding of Archduke Ferdinand Karl with Maria Beatrice d'Este in the Teatro Regio Ducale, Milan.
It was both Metastasio's last libretto and Hasse's last opera, as well as the thirty-second Metastasio libretto Hasse had set to music.
Ottone reports the arrival in Paris of the Greek emperor Leone, who wishes to woo Bradamante, although Clotilde has long been in love with Leone herself.
Leone reveals that Ruggiero fought in his place, and asks forgiveness for his mistakes – before he fell in love with Bradamante, he had already promised his heart to Clotilde.
Metastasio had previously written a first version of the libretto at the request of Empress Maria Theresa for the marriage of Marie Antoinette with the future Louis XVI on May 16, 1770.
It was this wedding which inspired the theme of the opera, with its setting in Paris and its focus on courtly love.
Metastasio did not feel able to discharge this commission well, and only reluctantly agreed to do so out of a sense of duty to the empress.
The following year, at the wedding of her son Ferdinand to Maria Beatrice d'Este, she ordered Metastasio to revise it for performance on October 16, 1771 in Milan.
Her favorite composer Hasse, who had been associated with the imperial court for over thirty years, was commissioned to compose the music.
Hasse's setting relied on extensive recitatives, which may not have helped, and his use of an expanded wind section and timpani to create a festive quality in the music was to no avail.
The main roles in both works were taken by the soprano Antonia Maria Girelli Aguilar, the castrato Giovanni Manzuoli and the tenor Giuseppe Tibaldi.
On January 20, 1772, there was a follow-up performance at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, for which Hasse slightly revised the score.
The only other settings of Metastasio's libretto were by Antonio Gandini in 1820 and a version produced in Naples in 1838 with music by Samuel Holmes.
The competition is ranked as the fourth tier of the Romanian football league system and it is competed between 15 teams, the winner may or may not be promoted to Liga III, depending of the result of a promotion play-off that is disputed against a winner of the neighboring counties series.
In 1968, along with the territorial reorganization of the country, but also due to the large number of requests, the Romanian Football Federation proposes a competitive system in which each county has its own football championship, which will activate the former teams in the regional championship as well as the racing and town championship teams from the previous edition.
The structure and organisation of Liga IV Alba along with other county football leagues have undergone frequent changes right up to the present day.

Paul-Gustave van Hecke (27 December 1887, Ghent - 23 February 1967, Ixelles) was a Belgian journalist, author, art collector and promoter, couturier, and organizer of film festivals.
After his father's death, in 1897, Paul Verbauwen (1844-1926), one of the leaders of the Ghent Worker's Party, became his guardian.
By 1909, this had led to the foundation of the Flemish Association for Theater and Performing Arts, with as its Artistic Director and Van Hecke as its Secretary.
For the first time, he was making a considerable amount of money, which resulted in the establishment of a publishing house, three magazines and an art gallery.
It was a richly illustrated magazine that catered to popular tastes and current styles; although it included works by such noted artists as James Ensor, Wassily Kandinsky, Giorgio de Chirico and Max Ernst, as well as Van Hecke's friends.
At this time, he also developed an interest in Surrealism, which led him to provide support for René Magritte, Paul Delvaux and, years later, Marcel Mariën.
The 1930s depression brought an end to many of these enterprises and he was forced to sell off his private collection to save Le Couturier Norine.
In 1943, he joined with Angèle Manteau to set up and manage the French language division of her publishing house, Éditions Lumière.
The festival's second edition took place in Knokke in 1949, in conjunction with a modern art exhibit at the local casino.
In 1950, he became Director-General of the Société des Cinémas Pathé and managed several movie theaters in Brussels, including the .

The mountain hosts many granite spires with names like The High Priest, The Boxtop, Flake Tower, Comet Spire, Razorback Spire, The Meteor, The Professor, Lighthouse Tower, Black Pyramid, and the most recognizable Prusik Peak.
As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades (Orographic lift).
During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but, due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer.
The Alpine Lakes Wilderness features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite walls spotted with over 700 mountain lakes.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to the various climate differences.
In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving  deposits of rock debris.
The last glacial retreat in the Alpine Lakes area began about 14,000 years ago and was north of the Canada–US border by 10,000 years ago.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area.

The Skull of Alum Bheg: The Life and Death of a Rebel of 1857, is a book by Kim A. Wagner, a lecturer on colonial India and the British Empire.
It was published in 2017 by C. Hurst & Co., and is based on the life of Havildar Alum Bheg, a sepoy of the 46th Regiment of the Bengal Native Infantry, who following the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and being said to have killed a British missionary family in Punjab, was executed by the British by being blown from a cannon.
His skull was taken to England as a trophy and was discovered in the Lord Clyde pub in Walmer, Kent, in 1963.
The Natural History Museum confirmed its likely authenticity and Wagner, with little evidence to go on, traced Bheg's history using various sources including letters written by the relatives and friends of Bheg's alleged victims.
Wagner traces the story of Havildar Alum Bheg, also called Alim Beg, a sepoy of the 46th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry, who following the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and being said to have killed the Britons, surgeon James Graham, missionary Thomas Hunter and Hunter's wife and daughters in Punjab, was executed by the British by being blown from a cannon.
In 1963, the skull was found in the Lord Clyde pub in Walmer, Kent and remained there until it was given to Wagner in 2014, by the pub's owners.
He took possession (at the head of a small party) of the road leading to the fort, to which place all the Europeans were hurrying for safety.
Alum Bheg was about 32 years of age; 5 feet 7 ½ inches high and by no means an ill looking native.
The pub's owners had felt uneasy keeping the skull and sought the expertise of Wagner after hearing about his research on the British Empire.
The Natural History Museum confirmed its likely authenticity and Wagner, with little evidence to go by, traced Bheg's history using letters written by the relatives and friends of Bheg's alleged victims.
Wagner confirmed that Alum Bheg was present at the rebellion at Sialkot, British India, in July 1857, an event about which little has been written.
The absence of Alum Bheg from historical records led Wagner to narrate an account of thousands of Indian soldiers like Bheg, who revolted in 1857.
At Sialkot there was … no lynching of isolated sahibs, no sexual attack on memsahibs and no mutilation of their corpses.
The book includes a chapter on the colonial method of blowing from a cannon, a form of punishment designed to shatter bodies, making traditional funeral rites impossible for both Hindus and Muslims.

The 1920 United States presidential election in South Dakota took place on November 2, 1920 as part of the 1920 United States presidential election in which all contemporary forty-eight states participated.
The 1918 mid-term elections had seen the Midwestern farming community largely desert the Democratic Party due to supposed preferential treatment of Southern farmers: Democratic seats in the Midwest fell from thirty-four to seventeen, whilst Scandinavian-Americans were also vigorously opposed to entering the war.
Much more critical for German-Americans was the view that outgoing President Woodrow Wilson was deliberately trying to punish Germany and Austria for starting the war, especially via his disregard for the United Kingdom's continuing blockade of Germany.
Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio and the Democratic Party former Ohio governor James M. Cox, a further blow to the Democrats occurred when the national economy suffered a major downturn following the wartime boom, resulting in plummeting agricultural prices that were especially problematic in the Midwest.
A poll by the giant Rexall drug store chain – which in 1916 had been accurate enough to predict Wilson's razor-thin wins in New Hampshire and California – suggested Harding would win 382 electoral votes, and at the end of October, although no more opinion polls had been published, most observers were even more convinced that the Republicans would take complete control of all branches of government.
So unpopular was Wilson that – although South Dakota was the only Plains state Wilson had lost in 1916 – Cox lost over half the Wilson vote from that election, and lost every county.
In fact, Non Partisan League candidate Parley Parker Christensen finished second ahead of Cox in twenty-nine counties and was only 1,231 votes behind the Democratic candidate in South Dakota as a whole.
Aided by German Lutheran hostility towards Prohibition, Christensen gained over 41 percent in Hutchinson County, and over thirty percent in three other East River counties.

These locomotives were built by a consortium of Mitsubishi, Hitachi and Toshiba (The Japanese Group, as attested by a plaque fixed on their sides) as a second option to the Europeans WAM-1.
They were delivered in 1960 and were a bit lower powered than the WAM1 but had similar Bo-Bo wheel arrangement (4 wheels per bogie) with four Mitsubishi DC traction motors connected to the wheels permanently in parallel through a WN geared drive.
38 of these were produced in two batches with the initial batch of 10 locos having air brakes for the loco and vacuum train brakes, and the second batch of 26 having only vacuum brakes.
Like the WAM1 they were also used around the ER-SER-NER-NR circuit as it was the first AC electrified area and hauled ordinary passenger trains and freights only and sometimes ran all the way to New Delhi via Kanpur.
Circulars at that time said condemnation of over aged E locos should be done because the locos have achieved their codal life of 35 years.
Since they had less than five years of codal life left, all WAM-2/3 locos were Vacuum Brake stock were never considered for up-gradation to Air Brake / Dual Brake .
The lifespan of certain WAM-2/3 locos could certainly be extended another five years of revenue service since they were in great condition .
They were rebuilt with their Pantographs aligned the other way around (pointing outwards) and fitted with silicon diode rectifiers as permanent feature thereby increasing their performance and durability, but were identical to the WAM2 in every other respect.
These two were used to haul (then) prestigious trains like the Kalka Mail and Toofan Express to Delhi, but were later relegated to passenger duties and shunting as WAM4s became common.
Four WAM2s of the Asansol shed were re-geared, their Bo-Bo bogies and WN geared drives replaced by the WAP1 Co-Co Flexicoil fabricated bogies and axle hung traction motors respectively.
These ran for quite some time and even hauled the Howrah Rajdhani for some time but were all scrapped in the late 1980s.

The 1916 United States presidential election in South Dakota took place on November 7, 1916 as part of the 1916 United States presidential election in which all contemporary forty-eight states participated.
South Dakota voted for the Republican nominee, Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes of New York, over the Democratic nominee, incumbent President Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey.
Hughes won South Dakota by a close margin of 3.90%; however, alongside Oregon, South Dakota was the only state that Hughes won in the Great Plains or westward.
Hughes’ victory was largely due to the powerful GOP loyalty of East River German-Americans, who feared that Wilson’s pro-British sentiment would lead the United States to involve itself in war with Germany.
Despite his loss, Wilson’s 45.91% was the best performance in the state by a Democrat since William Jennings Bryan won the state in a fusion with the Populist Party two decades before, and would be beaten only six times in the ensuing century.

Meanwhile, Alan Ssali, an American doctor whose parents were U.S. Army commandos, is in Kampala giving aid to the people of the slums.
The gangsters frantically run away from the cops, only to be gunned down by Alan, who corners Bad Black and recovers his dog tags before handing her to the police.
Bad Black, however, decides to stay in prison to ensure the safety of another female inmate, who is to be released in two days.
As Bad Black is about to prove her innocence, the film suddenly fast-forwards to a flashback, when her father Swaz robbed a bank to pay for her mother Flavia's medical expenses, but was killed in a gunfight with the police and Flavia died shortly after childbirth.
Just as Bad Black tells the court of her reasons for living a life of crime, Flavia suddenly arrives and embraces her daughter, forcing the judge to adjourn the court.

The Cameron–Central African Republic border is 901 km (560 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Chad in the north to the tripoint with the Republic of the Congo in the south.
The border starts in the north at the tripoint with Chad in the Mbéré River, following this river as it flows to the southwest.
It continues in this direction, then gradually arcs to the southeast, utilising various rivers (such as the Ngou, Guirma, Kadéï, Boumba, Batouri and Nyoue), with some shorter overland stretches, before reaching the Sangha River.
The border first emerged during the Scramble for Africa, a period of intense competition between European powers in the later 19th century for territory and influence in Africa.
The process culminated in the Berlin Conference of 1884, in which the European nations concerned agreed upon their respective territorial claims and the rules of engagements going forward.
As a result of this France gained control of the upper valley of the Niger River (roughly equivalent to the areas of modern Mali and Niger), and also the lands explored by Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza for France in Central Africa (roughly equivalent to modern Gabon and Congo-Brazzaville).
From these bases the French explored further into the interior, eventually linking the two areas following expeditions in April 1900 which met at Kousséri in the far north of modern Cameroon.
By 1903 within the AEF, the areas that now make up Gabon and Congo-Brazzaville (then called Moyen-Congo, or Middle Congo) were united as French Congo (later split), with areas further north organised into Ubangi-Shari (modern CAR) and Chad military territory; the latter two areas were merged in 1906 as Ubangi-Shari-Chad, and then de-merged in 1914.
France and Germany established the rough delimitation of their respective spheres of influence in the region in December 1885, with a more precise boundary agreed upon in 1894.
Following the Agadir Crisis of 1911, France and Germany signed the Treaty of Fez, in which Germany recognised French supremacy in Morocco in return for large territories in Central Africa.
When the First World War broke out in 1914, Britain and France invaded Cameroon and eventually defeated the Germans in 1916.
Following the defeat of Germany in Europe in 1918-19 all of the areas ceded to Germany in 1911 were restored to France, thus finalising what are now the Cameroon's modern borders with Gabon, Congo-Brazzaville, CAR and Chad.
On 22 June 1922 Cameroon became a League of Nations mandate, with the vast majority of the colony going to France, and smaller areas along the Nigerian border in the west to Britain.
France gradually granted more political rights and representation for its African colonies, culminating in the granting of broad internal autonomy to each colony in 1958 within the framework of the French Community.
Eventually, in January 1960 France granted Cameroon full independence, followed by Ubangi-Shari (as the Central African Republic) in August that year, and their mutual frontier became an international one between two independent states.
Since 2003 the border has been crossed by thousands of Central African refugees fleeing the Central African Republic Bush War and later the Central African Republic Civil War.

Maria Velotti (16 November 1826 - 3 September 1886) - in religious Maria Luigia del Santissimo Sacramento - was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious and the founder of the Suore Francescane Adoratrici della Santa Croce and a member in the Third Order of Saint Francis.
In her childhood she was raised in two different households after her parents died and she was exposed to the Franciscan charism under her second spiritual director.
Pope Francis confirmed her heroic virtue and titled her as Venerable in 2016 while later approving a miracle attributed to her in 2019 which would enable for her beatification to be celebrated in the Naples Cathedral on 16 May 2020.
Her parents died before she turned two circa 1828 and she was sent to live with her unmarried aunt Caterina (who lived in Sirico near Nola) who would over time come to mistreat and abuse her.
Her half-brother Giovanni (from her father's first marriage) remained in Soccavo and a chance meeting between the two in adulthood revealed their familial connection.
Her aunt's abuse extended to her spiritual life and she would often be assigned to housework so that she could not reflect on God in silence; her housework often took over two hours.
But her situation became untenable at home and her married (and childless) neighbors Lorenzo Sabatino and Giuseppa Tuzzolo took her in and raised her as their own.
In her adolescence her first spiritual director and confessor was Father Domenico Piciocchi but a chance meeting put her in contact with her second confessor and spiritual director when she turned 23.
The teen met Father Filippo Antonio da Domicella (who happened to be visiting the church) and under him she fostered a desire to join the Franciscans.
The priest oversaw her vesting in the habit in the San Giovanni Evangelista convent-church in Taurano on 2 February 1853 and oversaw her profession into the Third Order of Saint Francis on 22 February 1854.
In 1853 she started to experience visions of Jesus Christ on the Cross alongside the Blessed Mother and Saint Francis of Assisi; she also experienced visions of demonic harassment that once left her immobile and bedridden.
Her order was established in 1877 (alongside the widow Eletta Albini who later became Sister Maria Francesca) and it was aimed at educating girls and to promote the role of women in Neapolitan life.
Permission for the order's founding came from both the Cardinal Archbishop of Naples Sisto Riario Sforza and the Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor Venerable Bernardino da Portogruaro.
Her reputation for piousness and her visions extended to the surrounding regions and Cardinal Sforza (before his death in 1877) visited Velotti several times in order to better acquaint himself with her and understand her ideas.
In 1884 she relocated to Casoria to the motherhouse where she would live until her death and spent her last weeks in a wheelchair with paralysis.
Her death came after suffering from ill health for a prolonged period; she died in the order's motherhouse on 3 September 1886 at 9:00am in Casoria.
The informative process for her beatification opened on 26 September 1927 and concluded a decade later on 22 December 1936; theologians assessed her writings and confirmed on 3 December 1944 that her few writings were in line with doctrine and were not in contravention.
The second process in Naples was launched decades later on 2 October 2000 and concluded on 14 March 2001 before the Congregation for the Causes of Saints validated both processes on 14 December 2007 to enable further investigation.
Francis later confirmed a miracle attributed to her on 11 December 2019 which enables for Velotti to be beatified in Naples on 16 May 2020.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen Hausberg station () is a railway station in the municipality of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, located in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district in Bavaria, Germany.
Abu Ali al-Hasan al-As'am ibn Ahmad ibn Bahram al-Jannabi (al-Ahsa Oasis, 891 – Ramla, 977) was a Qarmatian leader, chiefly known as the military commander of the Qarmatian invasions of Syria (especially around Damascus and Palestine) in 968–977.
Following the Fatimid conquest of Egypt and the overthrow of the Ikhshidids, in 971–974 al-As'am led attacks against the Fatimid Caliphate, who began to expand into Syria.
The Qarmatians repeatedly evicted the Fatimids from Syria and invaded Egypt itself twice, in 971 and 974, before being defeated at the gates of Cairo and driven back.
In the next year, the Fatimids managed to overcome the allies, and concluded a treaty with the Qarmatians that signalled the end of their invasions of Syria.
Al-Hasan al-As'am was born at al-Ahsa Oasis, the capital of the Qarmatians of Bahrayn, in 891, to Ahmad, son of the founder of the Qarmatian state, Abi Sa'id al-Hasan al-Jannabi.
Power was held collectively among the sons of Abi Sa'id, although the youngest, Abu Tahir Sulayman al-Jannabi, was the dominant figure until his death in 944.
This means that, although al-As'am was the principal military leader of the Qarmatians in their expeditions abroad, in reality power still resided with his uncles, the last of whom, Abu Ya'qub Yusuf, died in 977.
Al-As'am first appears as a commander of the Qarmatian forces that captured Damascus and defeated the Ikhshidid governor, al-Hasan ibn Ubayd Allah ibn Tughj in battle before his capital, Ramla, on 28 October.
Medieval Arab historians (followed by the modern historian Michael Jan de Goeje) consider these events to have been a co-ordinated, unified strategy as part of the Fatimid Caliphate's imminent conquest of Egypt.
However, modern scholarship has revealed that the Qarmatians were neither loyal partisans of the Fatimids nor, as becomes evident from their behaviour once victorious, were they interested in conquest and conversion of the Syrian territories to their doctrine.
When the Qarmatian army again departed for Syria two months later, he was replaced by two of his cousins at the head of the expedition.
The disgrace did not last long, as the conquest of Egypt by the Fatimid general Jawhar in 969 and the subsequent advance into Syria, which led to the defeat and capture of al-Hasan ibn Ubayd Allah ibn Tughj at the hands of the Fatimid general Ja'far ibn Fallah in April 970, changed the situation.
The Fatimid takeover meant the end of the annual tribute promised by al-Hasan ibn Ubayd Allah ibn Tughj, and the Fatimids' declared intention to restore the safety of the Hajj routes threatened to put an end to the Qarmatians' extortion of the Hajj caravans as well.
This led to a radical shift of the Qarmatians—for which some sources consider al-As'am to have been the principal instigator—against the Fatimids and a rapprochement with the Abbasids.
Through the mediation of the Abbasid caliph al-Muti, the Qarmatians became the nucleus of a broad anti-Fatimid alliance, comprising not only the Qarmatians, but also the Hamdanid ruler of Mosul, Abu Taghlib, the Buyid ruler Izz al-Dawla, the Bedouin tribes of Banu Kilab and Banu Uqayl, and remnants of the Ikhshidid troops.
On 25 August 971, the allies captured Damascus, with al-As'am proclaiming the suzerainty of the Abbasid caliph over Syria and having the name of the Fatimid caliph, al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah, ritually cursed in the mosques.
Jawhar had sent reinforcements, freshly arrived from Ifriqiya, to the city, but their commander, Sa'adat ibn Hayyan, withdrew to Jaffa and adopted a passive stance.
Encouraged by his successes, al-As'am proceeded to lay siege to Jaffa with part of their forces under Akhu Muslim, and led the remainder of his army into an invasion of Egypt.
The coastal town of Tinnis, which had rebelled a year before against Fatimid taxation, rose up again in revolt, and the Qarmatians captured the town of Farama.
A month later, a Fatimid army under Yaruq recovered Farama, but over the following weeks the revolt spread across the Delta, and Yaruq and his men had to retreat towards Fustat.
The Qarmatians' detour nevertheless gave Jawhar time to prepare a ditch and wall, at Ayn Shams, north of Fustat, stretching for from the Nile to the Muqattam hills.
The Fatimid general called almost the entire population of Fustat to arms, and in two fierce battles on 22 and 24 December 971, despite heavy losses, managed to defeat his opponents.
In 973, the Qarmatian–Bedouin alliance disintegrated due to infighting, allowing the Fatimids to seize again control of Palestine and southern Syria.
From there the Caliph sent al-As'am a letter, accusing him of abandoning the Fatimid cause to which, as al-Mu'izz claimed, his father and grandfather had been devoted.
Al-As'am not only rejected al-Mu'izz's claims, but made the letter public and reaffirmed his opposition to the Fatimids and their claims, launching another invasion of the Fatimid domains.
No details are known, but within a short time in late 973, the Fatimids were again driven out of Syria and Palestine, and in the next spring, the Qarmatians invaded Egypt for the second time.
Rayyan defeated a Qarmatian force at Mahalla, but al-As'am moved the main Qarmatian army to Bilbays, from where he threatened Cairo.
Again the Fatimids were forced to a general call to arms of the entire male population of the capital to confront the Qarmatian advance.
The Fatimids' Berber soldiers repulsed the attack, but during the pursuit they were in turn surprised by a counterattack and suffered heavy losses.
Fearful of betrayal by the former Ikhshidid commanders now enrolled in his army, on 12 April al-Mu'izz arrested their sons as hostages.
On 27 April, al-Mu'izz's son Abdallah led the Fatimid army out to confront the Qarmatians at the dry lake bed known as Jubb Umayra or Birkat al-Hajj, just north of Ayn Shams.
Al-As'am divided his army, sending his brother, al-Nu'man, to face the Fatimid advance, while he himself remained on a height dominating the lake bed.
10,000 Berbers pursued the Qarmatians, cutting off their supply routes, and recovering Palestine and southern Syria before the year was out; while in the south, Akhu Muslim dispersed his small army and barely managed to escape capture himself.
Hunted by Fatimid agents, he sought refuge in al-Ahsa, but only ended up being poisoned by the Qarmatians, who were now engaged in negotiations with the Fatimids.
Alptakin invaded Palestine, defeated the Fatimids and captured several cities, before turning on Damascus, whose populace received him enthusiastically when he entered the city in April 975.
The Qarmatians reacted by sending an army to aid Alptakin—according to some sources, the Damascenes appealed to the Qarmatians for aid—forcing Jawhar to lift the siege in January 977.
The allies pursued Jawhar to Ramla, where they were joined by the Banu Tayy; Jawhar was defeated in a pitched battle at the Yarqon River, and was forced to abandon Ramla and retreat to Ascalon.
According to the account of Ibn al-Qalanisi (followed by Ibn al-Athir), however, al-As'am was still active when the new Fatimid caliph, al-Aziz Billah, took the field in person and defeated the allies in summer 978.
Following his victory, al-Aziz neutralized the Qarmatian threat by offering an annual tribute of 30,000 dinars (other sources give the sum as 20,000 or 70,000 dinars), paid in advance for that year.
Launer London is a British manufacturer of luxury handbags and other small leather goods founded in 1940 by Sam Launer who emigrated to London from Czechoslovakia during the Second World War.
The company first sold a handbag to a member of the British royal family in 1950 and subsequently was awarded a royal warrant by Queen Elizabeth II.
Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother first purchased a Launer bag in the 1950s, and later gave one to her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II.
She has bought more than 200 of their bags, according to CEO and owner Gerald Bodmer, and her three favourites appear to be a black leather Royale, a black patent Traviata, and a third custom-made bag.
The Pacific Steel Casting Company (PSC) was a steel mill and foundry located at 1333 Second Street in West Berkeley, Berkeley, California.
The company was founded in 1934 by Douglas Genger and Ivan Johnson, who had lost their jobs at General Metals in nearby Oakland as a result of the Great Depression.
They bought a steel foundry in West Berkeley that had been repossessed by Wells Fargo Bank, re-opening it as the Pacific Steel Casting Company.
The company announced plans to close as early as December 2017, after having laid off most of the employees and selling much of their inventory.
By March, 2019 the site was abandoned and the city of Berkeley was seeking input on what to do with the site located in the West Berkeley Neighborhood.

The Central African Republic–Republic of the Congo border is 487 km (303 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Cameroon in the west to the tripoint with the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the east.
The border starts in the west at the tripoint with Cameroon in the Sangha River, and then proceeds via a straight line overland towards the northwest.
It then proceeds via a series of irregular lines to the north, generally following the Sangha-Ubangi drainage divide, before turning a broad arc to the east, and then continuing in that direction broadly following the Ibenga-Bodingué drainage divide.
It then follows the Lobaye-Gouga drainage divide up to the Democratic Republic of the Congo tripoint at the confluence of the Gouga and Ubangi.
The border first emerged during the Scramble for Africa, a period of intense competition between European powers in the later 19th century for territory and influence in Africa.
The process culminated in the Berlin Conference of 1884, in which the European nations concerned agreed upon their respective territorial claims and the rules of engagements going forward.
As a result of this France gained control the upper valley of the Niger River (roughly equivalent to the areas of modern Mali and Niger), and also the lands explored by Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza for France in Central Africa (roughly equivalent to modern Gabon and Congo-Brazzaville).
From these bases the French explored further into the interior, eventually linking the two areas following expeditions in April 1900 which met at Kousséri in the far north of modern Cameroon.
By 1903 the areas that now make up Gabon and Congo-Brazzaville (then called Moyen-Congo, or Middle Congo) were united as French Congo (later split), with areas further north organised into Ubangi-Shari (modern Central African Republic) and Chad military territory; the latter two areas were merged from 1906-14 as Ubangi-Shari-Chad.
The internal boundaries of this colony underwent several changes: in 1926 the French transferred the town of Mbaïki and the surrounding area from Congo to Ubangi-Shari, creating a boundary which roughly followed the drainage divide between Ibenga and Lobaye rivers.
After the Second World War France gradually granted more political rights and representation for its African territories, culminating in the granting of broad internal autonomy to each colony in 1958 within the framework of the French Community.
Eventually, in August 1960, both Moyen-Congo (as the Republic of the Congo) and Ubangi-Shari (as the Central African Republic) declared full independence and their mutual frontier thus became an international one between two independent states.

The Large Unmanned Surface Vehicle (LUSV) is an unmanned surface vessel designed for the United States Navy and set to begin construction in 2020.
Designed to be low-cost, high-endurance, reconfigurable ships based on commercial designs, they will have the capacity for modular payloads such as anti-ship, anti-submarine or anti-air weapons.
Capable of operating with human operators in the loop, the Navy envisions the ships operating alongside fleets as scouts and magazine ships.
$209.2 million of funding for the initial two LUSVs, set to begin construction in 2020, was included in the 2020 Defense Appropriations Bill, with plans to buy eight more over the five-year projection known as the Future Years Defense Program.
In 1993 the building was bought by its current owners for $US 500,000 In 2019 its building went on the market for sale at $US 3.25 million, potentially jeopardizing its existence.

Born in Munich the son of the opera singer Wilhelm Ziegler (1857-1931), Ziegler studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich.
Further engagements took him to Dortmund, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe and Berlin and in 1925 he was engaged as a lyricist and baritone at the Oper Frankfurt.
With the soprano Else Gentner-Fischer, who was married to him in a second marriage, he appeared there on the 1 January 1925.
Ziegler was dismissed from the city stage for racist reasons in 1933 after the transfer of power to the National Socialists.
Else Ziegler's engagement in Frankfurt was also terminated in 1935 because of her marriage to an non-Aryan, so that she lived in complete seclusion in Prien am Chiemsee and died there in 1943.
Ziegler took himself to safety in Great Britain in 1939, where he had to make his living as an unskilled worker.
Today Ziegler is represented in editions of historical recordings by Lotte Lehmann, Richard Tauber, Elisabeth Rethberg, Sabine Kalter, Emmy Bettendorf and Karin Branzell.

The Central African Republic–Democratic Republic of the Congo border is 1,747 km (1,086 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with the Republic of the Congo in the west to the tripoint with South Sudan in the east.
The border starts in the west at the tripoint with the Republic of the Congo at the confluence of the Gouga river and Ubangi river, and then follows the latter for much of its length, before reaching the confluence with the Mbomou River.
The border then follows the Mbomou eastwards, with a very short overland section in the far east connecting up with the South Sudanese tripoint.
The border first emerged during the Scramble for Africa, a period of intense competition between European powers in the later 19th century for territory and influence in Africa.
The process culminated in the Berlin Conference of 1884, in which the European nations concerned agreed upon their respective territorial claims and the rules of engagements going forward.
As a result of this France gained control the upper valley of the Niger River (roughly equivalent to the areas of modern Mali and Niger), and also the lands explored by Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza for France in Central Africa (roughly equivalent to modern Gabon and Congo-Brazzaville).
The area of the modern DRC was controlled by the Congo Free State, a state held under the personal rule of Belgian King Leopold II, who had sponsored various explorations in the region under the guise of humanitarianism.
The boundary between French and Belgian/Congolese territory was somewhat vaguely delimited at the time of the Conference, utilising the Congo river and then various lines of latitude and longitude.
A protocol signed on 29 April 1887 further delimited the boundary as following the Congo river, then the Ubangi river up the 4th parallel north, and then following this parallel eastwards.
In the following years France explored further into the interior, founding Bangui in 1889, and eventually linking their Central and West African holdings following expeditions in April 1900 which met at Kousséri in the far north of modern Cameroon.
Administration of the Congo Free State was taken over by the Belgian government in 1908 following controversies engendered by the atrocities committed by Leopold’s forces there.
The Belgian Congo gained independence (as the Republic of the Congo, later renamed Democratic Republic of the Congo) on 30 June 1960, followed by the French territory of Ubangi-Shari (as the Central African Republic) on 13 August 1960, and their mutual frontier became an international one between two sovereign states.
Since 2003 the border has been crossed by thousands of Central African refugees fleeing the Central African Republic Bush War and later the Central African Republic Civil War.
Ultrasonic Algae Control is a technology that helps control algae and biofouling in lakes, reservoirs, and industrial applications by using ultrasonic wave signals to destroy the algae cell structure within.
The effects of ultrasonic waves on microorganisms were discovered by French scientist Paul Langevin (1872 – 1946) during World War I of usage of submarine sonar.
During the carried out studies and experiments some biological effects were discovered, as microorganisms like algae cells were killed by ultrasonic waves.
The powerful transducers used at the time produced a cavitation effect causing microbiological cells, algae to be lysed or broken into smaller fragments.
Acoustic cavitation is the rapid collapse of bubbles in water triggered by the ultrasound, this results in high temperatures (>5000K) and pressures (>100 MPa) causing fast cell death.
These tones produce critical resonance frequencies on its own natural frequency of cell membranes, such as algae gas vesicles, vacuoles, plasmalemma cells.
Sister Mary Paul Mulquin (1842 – 10 February 1930) was a Roman Catholic nun and educationalist born in Adare, Limerick, Ireland.
Born Katherine Mulquin to John Mulquin, a landowner, and his wife Catherine, née Sheehy, she changed her name in 1863 once she was received into her religious order.
In 1873 she travelled to Australia with six other nuns on board the SS Great Britain, arriving in Melbourne on 21 December 1873.
Liga IV Botoșani or for sponsorship reasons the Liga IV Givova is the regional Liga IV football division for clubs in Botoșani County, România, the fourth tier of the Romanian football league system.

The Central African Republic–South Sudan border is 1,055 km (655 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Sudan in the north, to the tripoint with the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the south.
The precise starting point of the border in the north is in dispute, owing to the fact that both Sudan and South Sudan claim the Kafia Kingi region, which is currently under Sudanese administration.
The border then follows a series a very irregular lines overland in southeastwards direction, down to the tripoint with the DRC.
The border first emerged during the Scramble for Africa, a period of intense competition between European powers in the later 19th century for territory and influence in Africa.
The process culminated in the Berlin Conference of 1884, in which the European nations concerned agreed upon their respective territorial claims and the rules of engagements going forward.

In 1898-99 Britain and France agreed upon their mutual spheres of influence in northern third of Africa, and the two nations delimited a frontier between AEF and Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (i.e.
This was followed by demarcation on the ground by an Anglo-French commission in 1921-23, with the final border being ratified on 21 January 1924.
On 1 January 1956 Anglo-Egyptian Sudan declared independence as the Republic of Sudan; the Central African Republic followed later on 13 August 1960.
Following a referendum, on 9 July 2011 South Sudan declared independence from Sudan, and thus inherited the bulk of the former CAR-Sudan border.
The border region is remote and poorly policed, providing a safe haven for various rebel groups; it is thought the Joseph Kony of the Lord's Resistance Army may currently be hiding in the border region.

FC Rosengård, formerly Malmö FF Dam (1970–2007) and LdB FC Malmö (2007–2013), is a professional football club based in Malmö, Scania, Sweden.
The team was established as Malmö FF Dam in 1970 and has played a total of 35 seasons in the women's premier division, of which 7 in the Division 1 (until 1987) and 28 in the Damallsvenskan (since its formation in 1988).
On 7 September 1970 the board of Malmö FF took the decision to start a women's team as part of the main club.
It took three seasons for the club to win the newly formed Damallsvenskan in 1990 and more success followed in 1991, 1993 and 1994.
Under the LdB FC Malmö name, the club won the Damallsvenskan championship in 2010, which qualified them for the 2011–12 UEFA Women's Champions League.
In the final match of the 2012 season they suffered a home defeat (0–1) to Tyresö FF, the result meant Tyresö FF were champions due to better goal difference.
In 2013, they clinched the title once again, with a (2–3) win away against Tyresö FF being the turning point of the season.
The Damallsvenskan title wins of 2014 and 2015 added to the 2013 title (as LdB FC Malmö), made the club three times in a row title winners for the first time in its history.
The Central African Republic–Sudan border is 174 km (108 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Chad in the north, to the tripoint with South Sudan in the south.
The boundary starts in the north at the tripoint with Chad and proceeds overland in a south-easterly direction, turning south in the vicinity of the Kafia Kingi region, a region disputed with South Sudan but which is currently under Sudanese administration.
The border then consists of series of irregular lines over hilly terrain, turning sharply to the east and then proceeding to the current de facto South Sudanese tripoint.
The border first emerged during the Scramble for Africa, a period of intense competition between European powers in the later 19th century for territory and influence in Africa.
The process culminated in the Berlin Conference of 1884, in which the European nations concerned agreed upon their respective territorial claims and the rules of engagements going forward.

The Capture of Novgorod by the Swedes was an event of the Time of Troubles, which entailed the Swedish occupation of Novgorod from July 1611 until its return to the Russian Kingdom in the Treaty of Stolbovo in 1617.
According to the Vyborg Treatise of 1609, concluded between Tsar Vasily Shuisky and Sweden, the latter agreed to provide him with military assistance in the fight against False Dmitry II and the Polish–Lithuanian invaders in exchange for territorial concessions.
The Swedish corps fought as part of the army of Prince Mikhail Skopin-Shuisky, who managed to clear a significant part of Russia from the interventionists and to release the besieged Moscow.
However, in the Battle of Klushino, the Russian–Swedish army was defeated, after which Vasily Shuisky was overthrown, and the Poles occupied Moscow.
Jacob De la Gardie considered that Russia had not fulfilled its obligations to Sweden, and began to occupy part of the Russian north–west.
The motivation was the general weakening of the Russian state, which allowed for an aggressive policy, rivalry with the Commonwealth, as well as the personal interest of the Swedish military leaders, including Delagardi, in rich military booty.
At the beginning of June 1611, the army of Delagardi, consisting of Swedish, Finnish, German and other mercenaries, approached Novgorod and stood at the Khutynsky Monastery.
The governor of the city was Ivan Nikitich Odoevsky, who led a garrison of a little more than two thousand people – Cossacks, nobles, Astrakhan archers, as well as a small number of Tatars and monastery servants.
Governor Vasily Buturlin was sent to Delagardi on behalf of the Zemsky Government near Moscow, headed by Prokopy Lyapunov, who entered into negotiations with the Swedes.
In exchange for military assistance against the Poles, the establishment of the Swedish prince Charles Philip to the Moscow throne, as well as the transfer of Ladoga and Oreshek to Sweden, were discussed.
Another distracting maneuver was the attack of the Swedes in small vessels on a floating tower, set by the defenders on the Volkhov near Borisoglebskaya and Petrovskaya towers.
Taking advantage of the fact that the defenders focused on the defense of the eastern side and did not expect an attack from the west, the Delagardi warriors went on the assault on Okolny City in several areas at once.
The infantry rushed into the resulting gaps, which soon recaptured the Chudintsev Gates from the defenders and opened them to Delagardi's strong cavalry.
From the towers of Okolny City, the Russians methodically fired on the Swedes, however, after the cavalry attack, which began to quickly take over the streets, the fate of the city, despite the stubborn foci of resistance, was a foregone conclusion.
Buturlin's warriors, who didn't initially have a good relationship with Odoevsky, after a brief resistance to the Swedes fled to the Trade side, robbing its along the way, and then retreated to Yaroslavl.
With a quick strike, the Swedes captured the Great Bridge over the Volkhov, cutting off the remaining defenders' path to retreat.
The rest of the agreement repeated the provisions of the Teusina and Vyborg Treaties, maintained the old order in administration and legal proceedings, guaranteed the inviolability of the Orthodox faith and emphasized the alliance against the Commonwealth.
After the election of Mikhail Romanov to the kingdom in 1613 and the loss by the Swedish king of the chances of the Moscow throne, the Swedish position in Novgorod was tightened.
Only the military failures of the Swedes, in particular during the Siege of Pskov in 1615, set King Gustav II Adolf to peace talks.
One of the most complete collections of documents of Novgorod office work during the Swedish occupation is the Novgorod occupation archive, which is stored in the State Archive of Sweden in Stockholm.

The Vanadis expedition was a sailing expedition around the world with the frigate Vanadis visiting South America, Oceania, Asia, and Europe.
Other participants were Crown Prince Oscar, meteorologist Gottfrid Fineman and physician and marine biologist Dr. Karl Rudberg along with more than 300 officers and sailors.
On board was also the Swedish archaeologist and ethnographer Hjalmar Stolpe who during land excursions collected 7500 cultural specimens for an intended ethnographical museum in Sweden.
On the third of April 1884 Vanadis arrived to Callao, a port town 10 km from Lima, During the time Vanadis visited Lima, Hjalmar Stolpe did excavations at the archaeological site in Ancon.
In May 8–12 they reached the first port, Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas Islands and next stop was Fakarava in the Tuamotu Islands (15-17 May).
Tahiti in the Society Islands was next island and here they stopped for almost two weeks (19 May - 2 Jun), followed by Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands (20 June - 10 July).
At the time the Philippines was part of the Spanish Empire and the Spanish governor wanted to make an impression on the Swedish Crown Prince.
And he succeeded, Crown Prince Oscar was surprised by all the dinners, parties, excursions, flags and decorations in Swedish colours and fireworks that was arranged for them.
He hired a boat but after just a few hours at sea there was technical problems and they were forced back to land close to the village Cabeaben in the Mariveles mountains.
Here they met people and Ekholm took about 20 photographs and Stolpe documented tattoos and managed to get hold of 80 objects, most of them from the boattrip to Mariveles.
They were met by the royal ship HMS Vesatri and the Swedes went over to Vesatri where they were welcomed by the ship's Danish captain Andreas du Plessis de Richelieu and his younger brother Lieutenant Louis du Plessis de Richelieu.
The voyage into Bangkok went past what the crew experienced as very exotic landscapes and then up the Chao Phraya River.
On board lunch was served with the entertainment of a forty-strong orchestra and after five hours moored the yacht at the Grand Palace.
The company received a warm reception from Prince Bhanurangsi Savangwongse, who made wagons available to them, and they were driven to the Prince's Palace (Saranrom) where most of them would spend the night.
Commander Otto Lagerberg, Prince Oscar and the other officers received an invitation and after the usual honors, there was entertainment and display of the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaeo.
The visit was only a few days but during this time Stolpe managed to collect an impressive collection through gifts from officials they met but also through buying every day objects at the bazaars.
Ekholm managed to take several portraits of various people from the area and Stolpe met Wilhelm von Malein, a Russian who spoke Swedish.
Unfortunately, there was a clash of characters between Hjalmar Stolpe, the expedition ethnographer, and the ship's captain, Otto Lagerberg, and when the Vanadis reached Calcutta in December 1884, Stolpe left the expedition, arranged for permits to travel through northern India and Kashmir for three months, and made his own arrangements for the return trip to Sweden.
During his time in India Stolpe collected many ethnographical objects with the aim of providing ‘a far richer picture of the northern Indian people’s way of life and cultural position’.
Svante Natt och Dag tells in his book about a trip to Kairo and the pyramids that a little group from the ship did the next day, amongst others the Crown Prince, Captain Lagerberg and Oscar von Heidenstam who was Swedish consul-general in Alexandria at the time.

In the early 40s, a bugle band was attached to the RCCS and went with the unit during its tour of duty in Europe.
On 1 March 1950, officers of the RCCS were presented a drum major's ceremonial mace and sash for use by the regimental trumpet band that predated the brass and reed band.
The mace and sash were stored at Vimy Barracks until required for use by the band, which at the time consisted staff members of a base training establishment.
A year after its creation, it was designated as the sole band to perform public duties and state functions in the National Capital Region, a similar role to the Central Band of the Canadian Armed Forces today.
Due to its proximity to the Royal Military College of Canada, the band often performed at ceremonies the occur at the RMC (examples including the RMC-West Point hockey game, graduation parades and the Tattoo Ceremony), often in a more senior role compared to the Bands of the RMC.
In the latter part of the decades, it was assigned to Canadian Forces Europe, in which it provided support to the regimental contingent at Canadian Forces Base Lahr.
The last major event the band took part in was the Canadian Armed Forces Tattoo 1967 for Canada's centennial celebrations that year.
In October 1968, as a result of the Unification of the Canadian Armed Forces earlier in the year, the band was merged with the Royal Canadian Dragoons Band to become the Band of CFB Kingston.
Also known as the Vimy Army Band, it served as part of the successor organization of the RCCS, the Communications and Electronics Branch.
In the 1970s the case the mace and sash were contained was moved to the Communications and Electronics Museum where they remained on display.
In 1986, the tradition was reinstated for the Vimy Band and in 1987, a new drum major's sash was created, going into use until the band was disbanded in 1994.

Malta was ruled by the Byzantine Empire, from the time of the Byzantine conquest of Sicily in 535-6 to 869-870, when the islands were occupied by Arabs.
Historians theorise that Byzantine Malta was exposed to the same phenomena affecting the Central Mediterranean, namely a considerable influx of Greek settlers and Hellenic culture, administrative changes brought about by the reorganisation of Sicily along the lines of a Byzantine theme, and significant naval activity in the Mediterranean following the rise of Islam.
While there are studies about alleged Byzantine or Christian survival, the sparseness of evidence implies a weak case for a lasting Byzantine legacy in Malta.
In a passage by Victor Vitensis, Bishop of Vita, historians infer that towards the end of the fifth century, the Maltese islands were conquered by Vandals from their Kingdom in North Africa, and then handed to Odoacre, the Ostrogothic king of Italy.
Historians theorise that Malta remained in Vandal hands from around 455 to 476, and then granted to Odoacre as tribute, before passing on to Theodoric after this defeat of Odoacre in 493.
There is no evidence of a Bishop of Malta before 553, with no record appearing of a Maltese bishop attending any council in Vandal Africa.
However, as no episcopal lists survive from Africa, historians are unable to assess whether Malta had a bishop or whether the islands formed part of the African church at this early stage.
In the same passage, Procopius describes Malta as dividing the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian seas, indicating that the islands may have lied on a maritime border separating Vandal and Byzantine spheres.
Artabanes failed to catch up with the expedition before it sailed for Sicily, and his own fleet was driven back and scattered by severe storms in the Ionian Sea, with Artabanes himself being unexpectedly saved after landing in Malta.
The first reference of a Bishop of Malta appears in three letters from Pope Gregory I, with the Pope asking Bishop Lucillus of Malta in 592 to ensure that the Maltese clergy holding lands belonging to the African church should pay the tax due on them.
The lands are assumed by historians to be in Malta, and their link with the African church may be linked with Vandalic rule in the previous century.
The second letter, dated October 598, asks the Bishop of Syracuse to depose Lucillus for an unspecified crime, to punish his accomplices by putting them in monasteries and removing their honours.
While there appears not to be enough evidence to cast Malta as a suffragan bishopric of Syracuse this early, the letters appear to reveal close ecclesiastical and administrative bonds between the Maltese see and the Syracuse bishopric.
Malta may have been similarly linked with the secular administration of Sicily, as suggested by a civil geographic list compiled by George of Cyprus around c. 603 - c. 606.
This reveals that by 637, the date of the revolt which led to the exile of John Athalarichos and Theodorus, Malta may have been governed by military officers, similar to the way Sicily and Italy were being ruled.
Other historians have gone beyond this analysis, saying that Malta was the base of an important naval squadron under direct imperial, rather, than thematic, control.
However, the lack of evidence and sources, as well as historical close links between Sicily and Malta, are seen to count against both the existence of such a governing structure for Malta, as well as the existence of an important Byzantine naval base on the islands.
Recent excavations have shed more light on Malta's role as a trading post, with regional political powers having strong vested interests in Malta during the 8th century.
The islands are seen to act as a somehow privileged territory, acting as a bridge between North Africa and the south of Italy.
Malta was capable of importing large amounts of goods from far off regions, and of links with both Byzantine and Arab trading networks.
Urban cores, such as Melite, were comparatively affluent, politically powerful and enjoyed access to various imported goods, while peripheral areas such as Ħal Safi, had access to more basic material culture.
Historians contend that the transfer of Sicilian dioceses from the Patriarchate of Rome to Constantinople, and the elevation of Syracuse to metropolitan status, obscure the ecclesiastical organisation of Malta during this period.
No Bishops of Malta appeared at Roman synods or in Ecumenical councils in the East in the seventh, eight or ninth century.
A Maltese bishop named Manas may have attended the Eight Ecumenical Council held in Constantinople in 869-870, and is identified with a Maltese bishop held as a captive in Palermo by the Aghlabids in 878.
In at least seven notitiae, the bishopric of Malta is classified as a bishopric under the metropolitan see of Syracuse, or belonging to the province of Sicily.
A fortified wall with at least one tower was built around part of the site, possibly as a response to the Arab threat.
More than two hundred Byzantine coins were found in the drain of the baptismal font, dating from the mid-4th century, the reforms by Justinian (538-9) and a gold coin dated to Constantine IV.
The architectural and artistic style prevalent in Malta was not that of Constantinople proper but rather the Byzantine styles of Sicily.
The number of Greek inscriptions found in Malta and Gozo lead historians to believe that a degree of Hellenisation occurred, in a similar manner to the process seen in Sicily.
Ceramic remains from Tas-Silġ span from the sixth to the ninth century, evidence that the harbour and settlement had links over centuries with various parts of the Mediterranean.
In 1768, 260 late Roman North African amphorae were found stacked in a chamber of the Kortin warehouses, twenty four of which had graffiti of a religious nature on them.
Given the distance from the main town, historians assume that these warehouse facilities were used for redistribution towards other harbours in the Central Mediterranean.
Large quantities of Byzantine era pottery were also found at the Kortin promontory in Marsa, with traces of a fire leading excavators to assume that the buildings and the quay were abandoned in late eight or early ninth century, with the date established due to the presence of globular amphorae on site.
Warehouses in the inner harbour at Marsa were abandoned earlier than those in Kortin, due to silting, with no evidence of use found by the fifth or sixth century.
Due to the silting, the main maritime activity probably concentrated on the Kortin area, a hypothesis which is confirmed by a number of later burial sites.
Other burial remains linked with the Byzantine era are a number of catacombs, including St. Paul's catacombs, the Abbatija Tad-Dejr hypogeal complex, and Tal-Barrani.
With the loss of the Byzantine Exarchate of Africa first, and eventually the loss of Sicily, Malta found itself in an increasingly politically fragmented Mediterranean.
Malta lost out on its position between the Aegean and North Africa when the Byzantine Empire lost the grain producing provinces of Africa.
The islands experienced a less favourable economic situation, the abandonment of the Marsa main port and warehouses, as well as Arab raids.
This new geopolitical fragmentation was mirrored by developments in Malta, as rural settlement sites were either abandoned or witnessed serious declines in the eight and ninth centuries, with burial sites across the islands being abandoned, implying the abandonment of open spaces in rural and coastal areas and a move to fortified nuclei.
The main urban centre of the island, Melite, was heavily modified during this period, with changes including the strengthening of fortifications and the addition of a fortress within the town.
Although its strategic position meant that Malta came under increasing pressure, there are no references to raids on Malta before the ninth century.
There is a reference to a probable raid on Malta in the chronicles of Ibn al-Athir in 835-836, saying that Abu Iqal, from the al-Aghlab dynasty, prepared an expedition which attacked the islands near Sicily and obtained great plunder.
This attack is usually taken to be nothing more than a reconnaissance raid, as historians view the attack to be too early for a definitive conquest of Malta.
Of all the islands around Sicily, Malta was the last to remain in Byzantine hands, and in 869 a fleet under Ahmad ibn Umar ibn Ubaydallah ibn al-Aghlab al-Habashi attacked it.
The Byzantines, having received timely reinforcements, resisted successfully at first, but in 870 Muhammad sent a fleet from Sicily to the island, and the capital Melite fell on 29 August 870.
The local governor was captured, the town was plundered—Ahmad al-Habashi reportedly took along the local cathedral's marble columns to decorate his palace—and its fortifications razed.
The fall of Malta had important ramifications for the defence of what remained of Byzantine Sicily: with Reggio Calabria and now Malta in their hands, the Muslims completed their encirclement of Sicily, and could easily interdict any aid sent from the east.
Ibn al-Athir recounts that in 869-870, the Emir of Sicily sent an army to Malta, as the island was being besieged by the Byzantines who then fled.
This date is also confirmed by a Greek chronicle from Cassano, Calabria, saying that the island of Melite surrendered on 29 August 870.
This date is again confirmed in another Arab source, the Kitab al-'Uyun, which says that Malta was conquered by Abdallah I, and gives the date for the conquest to be three days before Ramadan 256 AH, that is, 28 August 870.
The siege of Melite (modern Mdina) was initially led by Halaf al-Hādim, a renowned engineer, but he was killed and replaced by Sawāda Ibn Muḥammad.
The city withstood the siege for some weeks or months, but it ultimately fell to the invaders, and its inhabitants were massacred and the city was sacked.
However, Ibn al-Athir states that by 870 Malta was already a Muslim settlement, and that the Arab-held island was being besieged by a Byzantine fleet.
After a relief force was sent from Muslim Sicily, the Byzantines retreated without a fight on 28 Ramadan 256 (29 August 870).
Some historians surmise that the local population sided with the Byzantine fleet, breaking a prior covenant with the Arab rulers, such that the Muslims then retaliated, imprisoned the bishop, and destroyed the islands' churches.
Historians cannot confirm whether this attack was an attempt to recapture the islands and establish a naval base, or whether it was a punitive attack on pirates which may have operated from the islands.

Norway Proper as a geographic term in 20th and 21st century usage generally refers to those parts of the Kingdom of Norway that are located on the Scandinavian Peninsula.
Before the 20th century the term was often used in English as synonymous with South Norway, the oldest and most densely populated part of the kingdom that historically formed its core territory, and excluded the more recently colonised and sparsely populated Northern Norway.
The term Norway Proper always excluded historical dependencies and territories of Norway outside of Scandinavia, such as Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and the joint colonies of Denmark-Norway such as the Danish West Indies, the Gold Coast, and the East Indies.

Parliamentary elections were held in Uzbekistan on 22 December 2019, with a second round in 25 of the 150 constituencies on 5 January 2020.
With the adoption of a new electoral code in June 2019, this was the first election in which all seats in the Legislative Chamber were directly elected; previously fifteen seats had been reserved for the Ecological Movement.
Other reforms included a new requirement that all candidates be nominated by a political party, and a minimum quota of 30% of female candidates for each party.
However, after the first round of voting, President Mirziyoyev and the Chairman of the Central Election Commission made rare public acknowledgements of the existence of opposition parties, and raised the possibility that they would be allowed to participate in future elections.
These statements were made amidst an outbreak of protests over shortages and high prices during the campaign period, and the increased use of social media to discuss politics in the country.
In the second round, the 50 candidates contesting the 25 remaining seats included 15 from the Uzbekistan Liberal Democratic Party, 11 from the Uzbekistan National Revival Democratic Party, 10 from the Justice Social Democratic Party, 9 from the People's Democratic Party of Uzbekistan and five from the Ecological Party.

Exhibitions range from the Archaeological Collection with finds from the prehistory and early history of the Ulm region (including the famous Lion-man), to paintings and sculptures created during the Late - or International Gothic art period and the Renaissance in Ulm and Upper Swabia.
Conservator and university professor Julius Baum became the founding director and first art historian of the museum on 1 April 1924.
The museum's permanent archaeological exhibition was redesigned in 2014 after further fragments of a 35,000 to 41,000-year-old mammoth ivory sculpture were recovered at the original site in the Lone Valley.
The partly animal, partly human figure is called the Lion-man and represents an upright standing human with the head and the limbs of a cave lion.
In an extremely complex restoration process in 2012/13, the figurine was completely re-assembled from over 300 fragments and has since revealed new details.
There is, above all, the exhibit of a Neanderthal thigh bone, the only substantial piece of evidence of this species ever found in Baden-Württemberg.
A chronology of the region's International Gothic art period has been demonstrated, supported by valuable exhibits beginning with Meister Hartmann and Hans Multscher to Martin Schaffner, Michel Erhart, Hans Schüchlin, Jörg Stocker, Niklaus Weckmann, Bartholomäus Zeitblom to Daniel Mauch.
The Late Gothic cultural landscape of Upper Swabia and the Allgäu is illustrated by the works of Bernhard Strigel and others, which allows valuable direct style studies and comparisons.
Representative works of artists of the 20th and 21st centuries also belong to the Ulm collection, among them Paul Klee, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, August Macke and Franz Marc.
Amongst publisher Kurt Fried's 1959 to 1981 private collection the visitor will find works by Frank Stella, Mark Rothko, Roy Lichtenstein, Günther Uecker, Yves Klein, Daniel Spoerri, Josef Albers, Max Bill and Gerhard Richter.
The museum presents a variety of exhibitions in order to make the complicated relations among Ulm's Late Gothic artists come to light.
The focus of research is on the Ulm families of artists around Hans Multscher, Jörg Syrlin the Elder, Jörg Syrlin the Younger, Michel Erhart, Gregor Erhart and Daniel Mauch.

She is interested in interactions between Roman migrants and people already living in North Africa, particularly in the late Antique period.
Her doctoral research was undertaken at Paris-Sorbonne, where she studied the cult of Aesculapius and his assimilation with the Punic god Eshmun and a Libyan healing deity.
This is part of her ongoing study into how the gods of the classical pantheon were adopted and adapted in North Africa - particularly Neptune and Aesculapius and their roles in cults of healing in North Africa.
In particular she is interested in how contemporary Roman and Greej writers have preserved snippets of information about the Berber women they encountered and these excerpts form some of the only surviving information we have about these African women's lives.
Benseddik studies how frontiers were created in Roman North Africa and has examined inscriptions that portray these points, for example at the fort at Touda.

In the distant past some Jews moved to this island after the kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar I -the king of Babylon and the commander of its armies- due to chaos in the east of the country.
The current number of Jews on the Djerba island does not exceed two thousand person, knowing that they are the descendants of the first immigrants to be mixed with the inhabitants of the land and that their survival on the religion of their fathers (Judaism) shows that Islam is not a hostile religion, otherwise this group of Jews had either been exterminated or expelled from the country.
As the novel depicts the full details of Nada's life and Rima's life, it shows how fate drives them together to meet.
The story takes place in two areas: the first on the Djerba island in Tunisia and the second in the ancient city of Qana in southern Lebanon.
The novel illustrates the relationship of Muslims with others, especially Jews, and also highlights the differences between Muslim women and Jewish women and their positions in the Quran.
The novel seems to convey the author's wishes and does not describe the reality of life, because in the Jewish community in Arab world, their relationships are largely limited to themselves.

The project of Baixada Santista LRT emerged as a way for the Government of São Paulo to reuse the tracks the central area of São Vicente and Santos inherited from FEPASA, which operated in this stretch the Intra Metropolitan Train between 1990 and 1999, and was used for cargo transportation until January 2008.
On 29 May 2013, the construction of the first stretch of the LRT began after a ceremony with Governor Geraldo Alckmin, of President of Legislative Assembly of São Paulo Samuel Moreira, and other authorities.
Previously, Alesp had approved a bill that authorized the State Government to contract a loan with financial institutes controlled by the Union, by the cost of R$ 400 million (US$ 185.1 million, as of 2013), so it could be invested in the project of the system.
On 6 June 2014, Governor Geraldo Alckmin opened the first 5 stations of the LRT system, besides it was not operational: Mascarenhas de Moraes, São Vicente, Antônio Emmerich, Nossa Senhora das Graças and José Monteiro.
The first test was made on 30 August 2014 in a stretch of , between stations Nossa Senhora das Graças and José Monteiro.
On 18 November 2014, the LRT supervised operation began, which consisted of a trip of 10 minutes between stations Antônio Emmerich and Mascarenhas de Moraes.

Over the years Bull Curry would win the championship a record setting 24 times, with Mark Lewin and Bruiser Brody tied for second most reigns at eight total.
Due to a lack of documentation, especially from the 1950s to the 1970s, it is possible that Curry won the championship more than 24 times.

Elizabeth Anna Ainsworth (commonly identified as Lisa Ainsworth) is an American molecular biologist currently employed the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS).
She also is an Adjunct Professor of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and was awarded the 2018 Crop Science Society of America Presidential Award.
She is probably best known for her recent work concerning the effects of specific atmospheric pollutants, including ozone and carbon dioxide, on the productivity of selected major crops such as corn and soybeans.
She was a doctoral student under the supervision of Stephen P. Long at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, before spending a year as a Humboldt Fellow at Juelich Research Center.
Ainsworth is a plant physiologist at the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service with the Global Change and Photosynthesis Research Unit.
Her research was the first to make use of biochemical and genomic tools to establish the mechanisms by which plants respond to climate change.
As part of SoyFACE Ainsworth leads an open-air laboratory that allows her to grow plants in atmospheric conditions that are similar to those predicted to be present in 2050.
It is important to grow the soybeans out of a greenhouse to ensure their phenotype is more representative of those farmed in the real world.
SoyFACE is a multi-faceted study that involves the use of satellite instruments, ozone surface monitors, metablomic approaches and historical yield data.
To achieve this, Ainsworth has developed high-throughput DNA phenotyping to understand the genes and networks of genes responsible for ozone sensitivity.
This allows her to establish the genetic changes that occur in plants due to climate change, as well as monitoring which plant species survive best in an effort to breed more ozone-tolerant varieties.
She showed that during the 2010s a large proportion of the United States soybean and corn harvest has been lost to ozone pollution.
She estimates that current ozone levels decrease corn yields by up to 10%, which is comparable to the amount lost to drought, flooding or pests.
In 2011 Ainsworth identified that future levels of ground-level ozone could reduce the yields of soybeans by almost one quarter by 2050.
The publication list on her UICI web page identifies her as author or co-author of 33 articles about her work from 2014 through 2019.

Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center is a comprehensive, tertiary care and teaching hospital, with a Level I Trauma Center and Level III Perinatal Center, serving the Lake View communities of Chicago, Illinois’, North and Northwest Sides.
Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center was founded in 1897 by the Belden Avenue Baptist Church Steadfast Sunday School class (2309 N. Halsted Street) as the Chicago Union Hospital to meet the needs of the local community.
Originally a two-and-one-half story frame building which was rented for $50 a month, It contained 30 beds, 10 used by nurses, house physicians and staff, and 20 by patients, 5 of whom could afford to pay for their hospitalization.
It was well since Masons were planning to develop a hospital to provide care for their own, and in 1921 purchased the Union Hospital and named it Illinois Masonic Hospital.
Illinois Masonic Medical Center became a hospital member of Advocate Health Care in November 2000, a multi-hospital non-profit healthcare system serving the greater Chicagoland area.
Advocate Health Care announcer plans in 2003 for a $30 million upgrade for facility renovations and clinical and quality system upgrades as part of a turn-around plan for the hospital.
In 2002, the hospital suffered losses of $18 million due to reductions in federal and state government payments to providers of medical care.
The new building, attached to the main hospital, allowed Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center to expand and centralize three medical specialties—cancer care, digestive health and outpatient surgery services—in a single, integrated platform.
The Foundation utilizes its resources to further the health care, charitable, educational and scientific purposes of the Medical Center as envisioned by its original Masonic founders.
It pursues these goals through creation of new programs, support of existing programs, campus improvements and the provision of charity care.

Wendy Heather Woods (born Bruce on 5 February 1941 - 19 May 2013) was a South African educator and anti-apartheid activist.
Woods worked with her husband, journalist Donald Woods, on anti-apartheid activities and both fled into exile to the United Kingdom in 1977.
She did well in school, skipping a year ahead and eventually leaving home at age 16 in 1958 to work in Pietermartitzburg as a librarian.
Her family had a cottage in Transkei Wild Coast, which is where she met her future husband, Donald Woods as a young person.
Eventually, her husband was banned by the South African government, so Woods would have to talk to people, including the media, in his stead.
During the 13 day inquest, her five-year-old daughter was sent a shirt that was laced with acid by the security police, burning her and spurring the family to choose exile.
Woods left the next day with her children and was able to make it past the border by distracting the border official.

In 1957, a group of German clubs based in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area came together to form the Volksfest Association, which represented German Minnesotans at that year's centennial statehood celebration.
In 1965, it purchased a home on Summit Avenue for $57,500 () and refurbished the interior to accommodate large social gatherings.
Originally built in 1906 for the family of George W. Gardner and his wife, Claribel, the 301 Summit Avenue home had four stories, including a third-floor ballroom and ratskeller.
By the 1960s the Sisters of St. Benedict had outgrown the property, and in 1965 they sold it to the Volksfest Association before moving to Maplewood, Minnesota.
The building also served as a community hub where German Americans, Minnesotans of German heritage, and anyone interested in German culture could come to learn and celebrate.
During the 1980s and 1990s, the Volksfest Association board of directors underwent a generational shift as younger members replaced older ones.
In 1994 members decide to transform the organization from a social club into a non-profit institute and rename it the Germanic-American Institute, or GAI for short.
The organization's shift in focus was also precipitated by an influx of non-Germanic immigrants to the Minneapolis area, as well as the perceived disconnect between newer generations and their German heritage.
Among other programs, the GAI offers a summer language camps for children, provides comprehensive German language instruction to adults ranging from new to fluent speakers, and hosts events and speakers that celebrate and promote understanding of German culture, traditions, and history.
It recognized that although German American millennials had grown up in a globally connected world, they were further removed from their German heritage than ever before.
To adapt to this change, the GAI began restoration projects for the house and parking lot and planned new programs to attract younger generations of visitors.

Originally intended to serve as a fleet flagship, the start of World War I in July 1914 forced the Navy to simplify her design in the hopes that she could be completed in time to see service during the conflict.
She was laid down in January 1915 at the Germaniawerft shipyard, but as resources were diverted to more pressing projects, including U-boat construction, work on the ship slowed; she was launched in June 1917, but only to clear the slipway for other work.
Design work on the began in 1910 in the context of the Anglo-German naval arms race, with initial discussions focused on the caliber of the main battery; previous German battleships had carried guns, but as foreign navies adopted and weapons, the German naval command felt the need to respond with larger guns of their own.
The design staff settled on the 38 cm caliber since the 40 cm was significantly more expensive and the 38 cm gun marked a significant improvement over existing German guns.
As work on the first two units of the class— and —began, the design staff examined the latest developments in foreign warships and learned that the latest British battleships, the , would have a high top speed.
This proved to be impossible, because the decision was made to outfit the new vessel as a fleet flagship, and the larger bridge necessary for an admiral's staff more than offset the reduction in weight.
Tirpitz presented the finalized design for the new ship to Kaiser Wilhelm II for approval in June 1914, during the Kiel Week sailing regatta, calculated to take advantage of Wilhelm's good mood to secure his approval for the skyrocketing price.
Later that month, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was assassinated, leading to the July Crisis that started World War I in late July.
She would also have been fitted with five torpedo tubes submerged in her hull, one in the bow and two on each broadside.
The ship had been scheduled for the 1915 fiscal year, but due to the start of the war, she was begun early using war funds.
The contract that had been awarded to AG Vulcan was finalized on 29 December 1914, which specified the beginning of construction in January 1915, her launching in mid-1916, and completion in early 1917.
Her keel was laid down in Hamburg on 4 January 1915 under yard number 386, and AG Vulcan intended to rush work on the ship as much as possible.
But as resources and manpower were diverted to other, more pressing projects like the U-boat campaign against Britain, work on the ship slowed.
By December 1915, about 31 percent of her hull had been completed, which amounted to 60 percent of her outer hull plating below the waterline, 75 percent of her inner bottom, and 50 percent of her lower decks and bulkheads below the armor deck.
Work on assembling her propulsion system had begun in the workshop alongside the slipway, as had the manufacturing of her armor plate.
Further work on the hull proceeded more slowly in 1916, and her launching date was repeatedly delayed until she finally was ready to exit the slipway on 20 June 1917, a year behind schedule.
By that time, there was no intention to complete the ship, and her launching was primarily intended to clear the slipway for other projects.
After Germany resumed and greatly expanded the unrestricted submarine warfare campaign in February 1917, Admiral Eduard von Capelle, who had by then replaced Tirpitz as the head of the RMA, argued that capital ship construction should be halted in favor of U-boat construction.
According to Article 186 of the Treaty of Versailles, signed in June 1919, all German surface warships under construction were to be immediately broken up for scrap.

During his studies, in the years 1977–83, Tochilkin had six hours of painting study each day, from eight o'clock in the morning until two in the afternoon, plus additional lessons on theories and art history.
In addition to influences by Italian academic painting and spanish painting, Tochilkin's paintings started to include expressive elements such as bold brush strokes and big patched of color.
In 1984 he married the Ukrainian artist Ina Belous, with whom he collaborated to give a series of collaborative artworks, which mix Belous' specific technique with Tochilkin's composition.
Post University, Long Island, in the United States; at the University of Camerino's museum, Italy; at the Heidelberg University's museum, Germany; at the Uzhhorod museum in Ukraine; and at international contemporary art fairs such as Art Miami or Art New York, as well as in a lot of art galleries in Europe and the United States.
In 1994, Mark Tochilkin was the subject of an article by Joseph A. Melamed, which recalls that the artist's artworks were acquired in various museums in Eastern Europe, such as the National Museum in Warsaw, and four Ukrainian museums from the time of the former USSR.
In 1995, he participated in a charity sale for the benefit of the AKIM association at Sotheby's with other personalities, including Robert De Niro, Whoopie Goldberg, Yitzhak Rabin, Oliver Stone, Diego Maradonna… The following year, he participated in a new charity sale in New York, for the benefit of the AKIM USA association with other personalities such as James Brown, Patrick Bruel, Phil Collins, or even Benjamin Netanyahu.
Art critic Grigori Ostrovski, Professor at the University of Jerusalem, specialized in the influence of Russian avant-garde movements in the world during the 19th and 20th centuries, describes Mark Tochilkin as a figurative painter working in an expressionist style.
He notes that Tochilkin's work is also characterized by a constant return to these same themes after intervals of several years.
The reviewer recalls that this series portrays a symbiosis of colors, compositions, lines and tones that echo the sound of music.
According to Ostrovski, this technique seems to be more effective: the double frame (one real, the other an illusion) appears to extend the painting's limits, thus creating a fascinating interaction between image and the viewer himself.
He recognizes that the artist's works are characterized by humor and compassion, and that Tochilkin approaches his subjects with love and irony.
His technique requires 3 or 4 months for each layer to dry before keeping up on the painting, which means that the artist is constantly working on different works.

In the winter, the southern part of the basin often gets flooded, and a lake forms from a large amount of fresh rainwater because of insufficient surface drainage.
In the hot and dry summer season, the temporary lake usually dries totally up (leaving some irrigation water in the dammed pond).
The large pond was built around 2000 with the support of an EU-fund, to retain water for irrigation in the dry season.
In rainy winters, as 2003, access water floods the ground around the dam, as this is the lowest section of the Tripoli-Plateau.

promoting the inherent worth of living beings regardless of their instrumental utility to human needs, plus a restructuring of modern human societies in accordance with such ideas.
This response exemplifies the kind of against-the-grain thinking of the three Norwegian ecophilosophers whose work that is presented at OpenAirPhilosophy: Peter Wessel Zapffe, Sigmund Kvaløy Setreng, and Arne Naess.
All demonstrated a surprising ability both to identify and to face directly the vastness of the ecological crisis as it was starting to unfold in their times.
Their analysis, however, did not stop at making a dire diagnosis; they also chose to develop and embrace a deeper and more long-term view in which we humans are not automatically assigned centre stage in the pageant of life.
Despite writing forthrightly about the grave challenges facing the Earth, each retained a parallel sense of living life to the full, of enjoying the conviviality of being among friends and the fulfilment that comes from working for change — all fueled by experiences in nature.
The aim of the project is to engage readers, provoke additional scholarship, and expand the community of activists around the globe who embrace ecocentrism - a worldview in which all life is acknowledged to have intrinsic value.
New Year's Eve Concert 1992: Richard Strauss Gala was a 76-minute televised event presented in Berlin's Philharmonie on 31 December 1992, in which four pieces of music by Richard Strauss were performed by the pianist Martha Argerich and the singers Kathleen Battle, Renée Fleming, Andreas Schmidt and Frederica von Stade with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Claudio Abbado.
It was jointly produced by Columbia Artists Management and Germany's Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen in association with France's La Sept, Japan's NHK and the United States' PBS, and was released on CD and Laserdisc by Sony Classical Records and on DVD by Kultur Video.
Strauss conducted the first performance of his work on 11 November 1889 in Weimar, where he held the post of Kapellmeister.
Strauss set the piece aside after the discouraging experience of a rehearsal with the Meiningen Orchestra in which he both played the piano and conducted.
In 1889, Strauss showed his score to the Scottish-born pianist and composer Eugene d'Albert, who liked it well enough to urge Strauss to try to improve it.
Strauss always remained ambivalent about the piece, programming it in concerts with increasing frequency as the years went by but never granting it the honour of an opus number.
A scatological comedy, the book narrates a series of misadventures encountered by Eulenspiegel as he travels around the Holy Roman Empire playing practical jokes on various fools, hypocrites and figures of authority.
Strauss's score depicts Eulenspiegel riding his horse, vandalizing a market, mocking the clergy, flirting with girls, ridiculing scholars and surviving an attempted hanging for blasphemy.
Don Juan and Till Eulenspiegel were portrayed with refulgent strings and belligerent brass that were impressive but alien to Strauss's essential musical personality.
He eschewed heavy-handedness in favour of at least a modicum of gentleness, and Martha Argerich projected some mischievous wit as well as overcoming the famous difficulties of Strauss's piano writing with her equally famous technical brilliance.
The quality of Renée Fleming's tone promised that her Marschallin was on the verge of becoming exceptional, but Frederica von Stade had lost the freshness with which she had formerly endowed Octavian, and Kathleen Battle seemed to find Sophie's highest notes in both the trio and the subsequent duet uncomfortably stressful.
Although the CD was described as a live recording, it provided no evidence of the presence of the Philharmonie's audience until their applause at its very end.
Indeed, the listening Berliners were so unobtrusive that one could not but help wondering whether any of the music had been re-recorded after they had gone home - it was difficult to imagine Argerich's pianism failing to elicit an ovation.
In 1993, Sony Classical Records issued the gala on a 62-minute golden CD (catalogue number SK-52565) accompanied by a 20-page booklet including five production photographs by Vivianne Purdom and notes by Andreas Kluge in English, French, German and Italian.

Sweden acts as a protecting power for the United Kingdom in Iran, and on July 15, 2012, the British Interest Office was opened at the Swedish embassy.
The property that houses the Swedish embassy in Tehran has been owned by the National Property Board of Sweden (SFV) since 1997.
Since 1994, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had its embassy housed in the building and considered the house to be good and appropriate for embassy activities.
It is built as a pillar deck structure with Girders and pillars in concrete and the facades are clad with light yellow brick.
The house was built in 1979 in accordance with the then building rules and was inadequate in terms of safety against earthquake loads.
Technical studies of the building's design and durability were carried out by SFV in consultation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which showed that it did not meet the minimum requirements according to Iranian earthquake safety.
In conjunction with the reinforcement work, a thorough rebuilding of the regular embassy office was carried out to cope with the many visa cases and issues of biometric passports.
The rebuilding started in February 2007 and on 1 August 2007 the embassy moved into the newly renovated and earthquake-protected premises.

Any player who did not compete in the 2019 KPMG Women's PGA Championship due to maternity, provided she was otherwise qualified to compete.
After spending three months in neonatal incubation, she was discharged, but had been abandoned; the Paraguayan Red Cross looked after her until she was adopted.
Her adoptive mother said in 2007 that Taglioretti had stunted psychological development, which is why she would not enroll her in school and taught her with a personal curriculum at home, administering exams directly with the Ministry for Education.
Taglioretti then branched out in music; she said that she stopped playing piano to study singing, then later had to choose between playing the harp and the violin, eventually leaving singing to specialize in the latter.
In 2005 she continued her studies in the National Music Conservatory and afterwards was part of one of the Miranda Conservatory orchestras.
She had been a fan of the singer since she heard him when she was young, and went to the 13 October 2013 concert without a ticket, not expecting them to actually let her in, but was recognized by Grupo 5, who took her backstage.
On 23 September 2019 Taglioretti, along with other National Symphonic Orchestra musicians, participated in a benefit concert to help Paraguayan Chaco families affected by drought and wildfires, collecting clothes and non-perishable food items among other aid.
In September 2012 it was reported that Taglioretti, aged sixteen, was the victim of domestic abuse at the hands of her adoptive mother when she was repeatedly found sleeping in garden chairs after being locked out of the family home, sometimes with her violin and clothes also around the garden.
Eventually, neighbors' complaints and their concerns after Taglioretti supposedly mentioned contemplating suicide as an escape to a neighbor in passing, had a police and child services investigation launched.
The neighbors' complaints included a video of Taglioretti speaking in one of their houses when she had run away to have dinner there; in the video, Taglioretti says that she had run away from home in March 2012 to go to the police, but was picked up and verbally abused by the mother.
At the time of her death, she lived in an apartment located in Piribebuy street, between Chile and Alberdi, in Asunción.
Taglioretti was found dead on the afternoon of 9 January 2020 in the apartment where she lived when her mother came to visit; after her mother received no answer when she rang the doorbell, she called a locksmith.
Both Paraguay's National Culture Secretary and the National Symphonic Orchestra paid tribute to the violinist, lamenting her death and giving their condolences to the family.
According to people close to Taglioretti, her family had a history of heart conditions, so a cardiac arrest as her cause of death has not been dismissed.
Much of the existing church dates to the 15th-century, with parts of the nave and chancel dating to the late 12th-century.
The south wall of the chancel, north wall of the nave and the tower were all rebuilt in the 15th-century, and the south wall of the nave heightened.

The Bradley color wheel was a line of educational tools developed by Milton Bradley, of the Milton Bradley Company (MB), in 1895 as part of his wider color teaching system.
Most notably Smithsonian ornithologist Robert Ridgeway, dissatisfied by contemporary color standards, incorporated the system into his own set of standards in 1898, which would eventually evolve into Pantone.
The wheel was based off the Maxwell Disk, a simple tool created by cutting a radial split in two or more colored disks and joining them.
The tool added a crank to rotate the wheel, graduated markings along the circumference of the disks (allowing precise color measurement) and in the center added the shade of grey required to create the color.

London Power Tunnels is a project by National Grid plc to reinforce the electricity transmission network in London, UK, by constructing more than 60km of new deep-level tunnels carrying high-voltage cables.
The project is divided into two phases: the first phase involved constructing tunnels connecting substations at Wimbledon, Hackney, and Willesden, and was completed in 2018.
The first phase of the London Power Tunnels project, costing £1bn, involved the construction of 32km of tunnels spanning between the National Grid substations at Wimbledon in south west London and Hackney in north east London.
It also involved the construction of two new substations: one at Seven Sisters Road in Highbury, and another at Kensal Green to feed traction power to the Crossrail project.
As well as the main 400 kV power transmission circuits for the National Grid, the tunnels also carry 132 kV circuits from Islington substation to St Pancras and Seven Sisters Road, which form part of the London power distribution network operated by UK Power Networks.
The second phase (known as LPT2) is due to start in spring 2020 at a cost of £750m, and will span 32.5km from Wimbledon substation to Crayford in south-east London.
The contract for digging the tunnels for this phase was awarded to a joint venture between Murphy Group and Hochtief in December 2019.
This phase aims to link Wimbledon substation to existing substations at New Cross, Kidbrooke, and Hurst, with intermediate shafts being built at Eltham and King's Avenue in Brixton.

His earliest remembrances of music was a combination of hearing his grandmother playing boogie-woogie piano and his father's collection of Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry recordings.
His elder brother's drum kit held more fascination for Pittman, before he progressed in his early teens to playing the guitar.
Pittman decided his immediate future lay in Texas and, by the age of 17, had relocated to Dallas to live with his in-laws.
As Pittman grew more confident of his guitar playing, he initially worked alongside musicians such as Cricket Taylor, Cold Blue Steel, Lou Hampton, the Bramhall Brothers, and Mike Morgan.

This coincided with a two year period where Pittman had personal and professional problems, exasperated with the closing of Cannonball Records.
This flurry of activity saw several albums released in quick succession, leading to a new recording contract with Delta Groove Productions.
Aiming to recreate the vintage tones and style of blues recordings from the 1950s and 1960s, Pittman supplied virtually all of the voices and instrumentation on the recording.

Dafydd Roberts (18 August 1892 – 11 October 1965) was an activist and chairman of the Capel Celyn Defence Committee during the movement to save the village of Capel Celyn, which was flooded to create the Treweryn Reservoir.
He resided in the village for the greater part of his life before moving down the valley to a farm called Cae Fadog.
In 1960, a private bill sponsored by Liverpool City Council was brought before Parliament to develop a water reservoir in the Tryweryn Valley.
He went with Gwynfor Evans and Dr. Tudur Jones to London and Liverpool to protest against the forced eviction of the village.
The story of Capel Celyn was widely reported in the press, but ultimately the cause was lost and construction began on the dam.
Like many others from Capel Celyn Roberts moved to Bala, where he died on 11 October 1965, aged 73, shortly before the official opening of the reservoir.
The red wines tend to be medium bodied, but Ġellewża is increasingly found in blends, together with Syrah or Cabernet Sauvignon to make a more full-bodied wine.
As most of Malta's wine output is consumed by locals and the thriving tourism trade, very little Ġellewża wine is found outside of the island.
Furthermore, the survival of indigenous grape varieties is under threat due to climate change (longer periods of drought) and the high average age of growers.
This variety of red wine grape is believed to have a very ancient origin, with number of wines and vineyards of Malta dating back over two thousand years.

In 1904 he was appointed as the United States commissioner for the Cheyenne district and held the position until his death.
Hypoxia inducible lipid droplet-associated (Hilpda, also known as C7orf68 and HIG-2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HILPDA gene.
HILPDA was originally discovered in a screen to identify new genes that are activated by low oxygen pressure (hypoxia) in human cervical cancer cells.
Nearly all cells have the ability to store excess energy as fat in special structures in the cell called lipid droplets.
HILPDA acts as a regulatory signal that blocks the breakdown of the fat stores in cells when the external fat supply is high or the availability of oxygen is low.
The binding of HILPDA to adipose triglyceride lipase occurs via the conserved N-terminal portion of HILPDA, which is similar to a region in the G0S2 protein.
The deficiency of HILPDA in mice that are prone to develop atherosclerosis led to a reduction in atherosclerotic plaques, suggesting that HILPDA may be a potential therapeutic target for atherosclerosis.

The Hostel of the Resurrection also known as the Priory of St Wilfred and later as the Adult Education Centre at the University of Leeds is a former hostel in Leeds.
A designated Grade II* listed building in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, the building is now privately owned and is again student accommodation.
Two existing buildings at numbers 21 and 23 Springfield Mount was identified and acquired by CR and began lodging students in 1904.
Meetings seeking support for the hostel were frequently disrupted by John Kensit and members of the Protestant Truth Society who objected to the Anglo-Catholicism monasticism of CR, meetings targeted included a meeting at Church House, Westminster addressed by Randall Davidson, then Archbishop of Canterbury.
Further extensions to the hostel were made after the First World War and it was not until 18 October 1928 that the final accommodation wing and chapel were opened, the hostel now providing accommodation for 55 students.
His comments denounced by others at the ceremony, Burroughs was forced to withdraw his words in a statement to the press the following week.
In 1976 CR closed the hostel and sold the building to Leeds University who converted it from accommodation to an adult education centre.
Built of red brick on a stone plinth with Millstone Grit dressings and a tiled roof, the hostel was arranged in a U-shape around a central courtyard.
To the left of the central block is the former refectory and accommodation block which is a three storey building of five bays including an attic story with gabled dormer windows.
The former chapel block forms the other wing and was also of two storeys and five bays with buttressed walls, the chapel was on the upper floor with the library and the warden's office on the ground floor.
Both the chapel range and the accommodation range have wings going off them to form the overall U-shape in the same style.
Temple Moore died in 1920 and the later works on the hostel were designed and undertaken by his business partner and son-in-law Leslie Moore.
Like trust games, gift-exchange games are used to study reciprocity for human subject research in social psychology and economics If the employer pays extra salary and the employee puts extra effort, then both players are better off than otherwise.
Like in trust games, game-theoretic solution for rational players predicts that employees’ effort will be minimum for one-shot and finitely repeated interactions.
If the employer pays a higher salary, it is irrational for the employee to put extra effort, since effort will reduce his or her payoff.
In a game of one employer and one employee, an experiment on 84 undergraduate students from the University of Amsterdam showed a rate of only 23.8% of employee's minimal effort for high salary.
Another experiment with students from Tilburg University showed that only 33% of games ended up in the Nash equilibrium with minimal salary and minimal effort.
Data from another experiment on 123 students from University of Nottingham showed a rate of 69% for high salary being payed by employer in advance.
There were plans for the Netherlands to host the 2019 European Games but this was dropped due to a lack of support for funding the event.

In an effort to explain the patterns associated with PCTs, Katz and Aakhus advanced the concept of Apparatgeist by identifying several cross-cultural trends in the adoption, use and conceptualization of mobile phones.
These trends have emerged in many social contexts, including participation in social networks, changes in traditional communication habits to accommodate mobile communication, competent mobile communication and unanticipated behaviors from mobile communication.
The results showed that there was a clear distinction in the way Chinese people communicated on mobile phones versus people in the West.
Contrary to western cultures’ emphasis  on keeping a small and tight knit circle of contacts in their mobile phones, the findings in this research showed that Chinese mobile users have a large and open network of mobile contact.
Kneidinger-Müller extends the Apparatgeist theory to understand the social factors that understand the effects of parallel communication habits in the usage of mobile phones.
The research surveyed 339 smartphone users in Germany and found that social factors were equally as important as usage and technological factors to understand communication practices.
applies both the Apparatgeist and domestication theory as a theoretical groundwork to show how the symbolic use of smartphones brings about positive effect on user attachment to mobile phones.
Axelsson examines culture and life stages as factors to see which is more a primary determiner of mobile-phone usage and attitudinal patterns.
Vanden Abeele explores the variations in lifestyles within mobile youth culture by constructing a user typology of Flemish adolescents and measuring the gratifications received from the use of mobile phones.
Apparatgeist is used as a theoretical basis to emphasize shared commonalities in developmental challenges that adolescents face, particularly when it came to the similarities in mobile phone gratifications regardless different cultural contexts.
Consistent with the apparatgeist and social construction theory, this research shows that PCTs carry a common set of meanings about their nature and purpose that are general across social settings.
Nonetheless, the study also validates the context-cultural dimension differences such as different preferences for use in dissemination of commercial messages between Chinese and Swiss consumers.
Campbell drew on the apparatgeist theory to explore the extent to which the use of mobile telephones by individuals in different cultures show similarities or variations.
By sampling college students from Hawaii, Japan, Sweden, Taiwan and the US, Campbell concluded that although there are apparent varieties in communication practices in different cultures, there is also an inherent universality in the way people interact through mobile phones that stem from a basic human need.
Shuter et al explores the impact of cultural values and observes the contextual norms on mobile phone activity between American and Danes.
Extending beyond the contextual and inmate human values factor found in the Apparatgeist and SCOT theory, the findings of this research identifies a universal logic and indigenous cultural factors as a foundation to the study of cross-national attitudes and usage of mobile phones.
Mizuko Ito, an anthropologist at the University of California, Irvine, believes technologies are both constructive and constructed by historical, social, and cultural contexts.
Rather than conducting a comparative and global survey of mobile phone use, Ito looked at the multifaceted and sustained engagement of mobile phone use in one national context – Japan.

Magdalena Aebi (4 February 1898, Burgdoft – 12 September 1980, Oberburg) was a Swiss philosopher known for her fundamental criticism of Immanuel Kant.
After attending high school in Burgdorf she studied classical philology, art history and archeology in Zurich and Munich, as well as philosophy with Ernst Cassirer in Hamburg.
In 1943 she obtained her doctorate with a critical thesis on Immanuel Kant soughting to refute fundamental Kantian arguments related to transcendental logic.
Aebi was in correspondence with Dutch philosopher Evert Willem Beth who disclosed his basic intentions as a thinker in his letters to Aebi.
She constituted quaternio terminorum – the fallacy of four terms – as his main error appearing in two different meanings of transcendental apperception in the middle term of syllogism.

Choosing suitable recipients of philanthropy, and ensuring that the aid is effective, is a difficult ethical problem, first addressed by Aristotle.
Many gifts are accompanied by a statement of intent, which may be a formal, legal agreement, or a less formal understanding.
To what extent the recipient must respect that intent is an ethical and legal issue, especially as circumstances and social norms change.
Protests against David Koch's support for climate change denial led to his resignation from the board of the American Museum of Natural History.
Funds derived from, and donors engaged in, unethical, immoral, or criminal activities pose a problem for the recipient, as accepting a donation may be interpreted as benefiting from or ignoring the disreputable activity.
For example, the Sackler family is a major donor to many cultural and educational institutions which has had many buildings and programs named for it.
Similarly, the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was a major donor to many university programs, even after his conviction for sex crimes.
After it emerged that the director of the MIT Media Lab, Joi Ito, was not only aware of Epstein's misdeeds, but took steps to solicit donations while hiding their source, Ito resigned.
Since MIT had no policy or processes for handling controversial donors in place at the time, the decision to accept Epstein’s post-conviction donations cannot be judged to be a policy violation.
But it is clear that the decision was the result of collective and significant errors in judgment that resulted in serious damage to the MIT community.

The Rimed Chronicle of Stone Priory is a mid-15th century English rhyming narrative poem which was found inscribed on a tablet hanging at Stone Priory in Staffordshire, England, in 1537 at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
who refounded the Saxon monastery of Stone Priory, an Anglo-Norman nobleman who arrived in England during or shortly after the Norman Conquest of 1066.
The descent recorded in the Chronicle is accurate and largely agrees with modern standard sources, for example Sanders (1960) and GEC Complete Peerage (1887-98), which quotes extensively from it.
Stone Priory was first founded in about 670 AD by Queen Ermenilda, a daughter of Eorcenberht, King of Kent, and was dedicated to her son Saint Wulfad, supposedly slain and martyred by his father King Wulfhere of Mercia, who ruled from 658 until his death in 675.

Ann Margaret (Stroman) Mikolowski (May 16, 1940–August 6, 1999) was a twentieth-century American contemporary artist, known as a painter of portrait miniatures and waterscapes.
After high school (Cass Technical High School, Marine City High School), Ann worked for a short time at Chrysler as a layout artist, taking night classes in art at Wayne State University and the College of Creative Studies.
In 1966, the Mikolowskis relocated to the Woodbridge neighborhood, renting on Commonwealth St. before purchasing a home in 1967, just after the 1967 Detroit Uprising.
Formative influences include Georgia O'Keefe and Jan van Eyck's St. Jerome in his Study (Mikolowski's favorite painting at the Detroit Institute of Arts).
In 1969, the Mikolowski basement became a pressroom, which afterwards moved with the family (children Michael and Molly, dog Inky) from Detroit to Grindstone City in 1974, then from Grindstone City to Ann Arbor in 1993–94.
They built up and maintained the studio together — at its largest in Grindstone City, the studio included two Chandler & Price presses and a lithographic press.
Most of Ann's tools and dies for her printmaking are archived as part of The Alternative Press letterpress studio (now the University of Michigan Library book-arts studio).
At present, 115 items listed in WorldCat document Ann's contributions to Alternative Press material, along with illustrations and cover art for other publications.
The land- and waterscapes can be as large as six by seven and a half feet, while the portraits are seldom taller or wider than three inches, and fit easily in the palm of one’s hand.
Mikolowski draws attention to scale not only as a play of small against large, but as studies of how objects impact consciousness in ordinary life: the outdoors, animals, Adirondack chairs, electrical poles, food, technology.
Mikolowski worked in oils on linen, watercolor, pen and ink, pastel, pencil sketches, and printmaking (silkscreen, lithography, linocut, wood engraving, drypoint, intaglio and relief printing).
They repurposed an 1884 grindstone-wall structure (built by town founder Captain Aaron Peer) into a home with a 28' x 50' studio for painting and printing.
I wanted them to be intimate because I could carry them with me in my pocket, supposedly, that was the idea.
In 1983, Mikolowski's miniature portraits were exhibited at solo shows, a collaboration with Detroit's Feigenson Gallery and New York City's Gotham Book Mart.
Her waterscapes were exhibited as part of a solo show by the Feigenson Gallery in 1986, the same year her work was included in an Allan Stone Gallery group show in New York.

Denial or abnegation () is a psychological defense mechanism postulated by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence.
She classified denial as a mechanism of the immature mind because it conflicts with the ability to learn from and cope with reality.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross used denial as the first of five stages in the psychology of a dying patient, and the idea has been extended to include the reactions of survivors to news of a death.
Gradually becoming a subconscious pressure, just beneath the surface of overt awareness, the mechanism of coping then involves repression, while the person accumulates the emotional resources to fully face the trauma.
Once faced, the person deals with the trauma in a stage alternately called acceptance or enlightenment, depending on the scope of the issue and the therapist's school of thought.
After this stage, once sufficiently dealt with, or dealt with for the time being, the trauma must sink away from total conscious awareness again.
Unlike some other defense mechanisms postulated by psychoanalytic theory (for instance, repression), the general existence of denial is fairly easy to verify, even for non-specialists.
However, researchers note that in some cases of corroborated child sexual abuse, the victims sometimes make a series of partial confessions and recantations as they struggle with their own denial and the denial of abusers or family members.
The main objection is that denial theory is founded on the premise that which the supposed denier is denying the truth.
Denial is especially characteristic of mania, hypomania, and generally of people with bipolar affective disorder in the manic stage — in this state, one can deny, remarkably a long period of time, the fact that one has fatigue, hunger, negative emotions and problems in general, until one is physically exhausted.
This lying can take the form of an outright falsehood (commission), leaving out certain details to tailor a story (omission), or by falsely agreeing to something (assent).
Someone who is in denial of fact is typically using lies to avoid facts they think may be painful to themselves or others.
Denial of impact involves a person's avoiding thinking about or understanding the harms of his or her behavior has caused to self or others, i.e.
Doing this enables that person to avoid feeling a sense of guilt and it can prevent him or her from developing remorse or empathy for others.
This form of denial attempts to divert pain by claiming that the level of awareness was inhibited by some mitigating variable.
This is most typically seen in addiction situations where drug or alcohol abuse is a factor, though it also occasionally manifests itself in relation to mental health issues or the pharmaceutical substances used to treat mental health issues.

The Palacio de Aldama is a neoclassical mansion located diagonally opposite to the old Plaza del Vapor (Parque del Curita), and in front of the old Campo de Marte; present day Parque de la Fraternidad, in Havana, Cuba.
Built in 1840 by the Dominican architect and engineer Manuel José Carrera, its main facade of columns spans one block on Calle Amistad between Calles Reina and Estrella.
Its owner at that time, Don Miguel de Aldama and Alfonso - son of the building's builder - was a recognized enemy of Spain and conspirator since Narciso López's time.
A man so rich and powerful that, despite his ideas and pro Cuban views, Spain, far from punishing him, wanted to attract him with the offer of the title of marquis; Don Miguel refused.
In addition, there was another reason that prompted the most intransigent Spanish element, represented by the volunteers, to the looting of that mansion and was the insistent rumor that, by the will of its owner, that royal palace would be the residence of the future presidents of Cuba.
Thus, the Spanish Volunteer Corps assaulted the palace under the pretext that Domingo del Monte had a catch of weapons inside of the Palacio.
Street riots had occurred on January 12 after the volunteers during a search had found a stash of weapons in a house on Calle Carmen during the burial of Camilo Cepeda, a young Cuban killed in jail.
The Volunteers returned on the 24th and a troop of them fired their weapons into the ‘’El Louvre’’ cafe, those who tried to flee, were attacked by bayonet.
They said to look for weapons and, indeed, they found them, but not of those that could be used in the manigua in the war against Spain, it was a collection of ancient weapons ——Japanese, Hindu, Norman, Inca, etc.—— that the Aldama family had collected.
The Spanish Volunteers destroyed the art gallery and searched the cabinets and appropriated everything that could be taken, what could not be carried, they destroyed: crockery, lamps, crystals, books, art objects of all kinds.
They set fire to the damask or lace curtains and doors and windows were torn off of the masonry, or shot.
They also visited the wineries of the Palace, lit a bonfire in the Field of Mars and had the carved furniture and oriental tapestries burned.
The Aldama mansion was in the care at that time of two or three servants who were the victims of the humiliation and mistreatment; the family was saved from the fury of the aggressors for not being in the house, an old English maid was stripped of her life's savings by volunteers.
That January 24 was Sunday and, like all holidays, the Aldama family spent it at their Santa Rosa farm, in Matanzas.
In New York, Miguel Aldama assumed the direction of the General Agency of the Republic of Cuba in Arms and put at the service of his ideas what was left of his immense fortune.
As a result of these events, it the Palace was confiscated by the colonial government until 1878 when, by the transitory pacification of the Island, by the Pact of Zanjón, it was returned to its owners.
It has been affirmed that this palace was destined to be the seat of the government of the republic, mentioned in this regard in a phrase of the martyr Domingo Goicuría.
After his death on April 11, 1870, a trial was commenced in Havana to determine if his heirs Miguel and Leonardo Aldama could inherit the property, it was an option denied by the colonial court, and as a result, the Aldana Palace passed on to the metropolitan government.
With the signing of the Pact of the Zanjón, the Aldama family had their rights reinstated but never again was the palace occupied by its owners or any family member.
In 1932 after a bloody tobacco strike the company closed the building and in 1945 it was planned to be demolished; by protest of cultural and artistic societies, it was saved and declared a National Monument on June 9, 1949 by decree.
The Palacio de Aldama was built in 1840, and had two floors and a mezzanine; it is estimated that its cost was around one million pesos, a great sum for the time notes Dr. Juan de las Cuevas.
Del Monte attended preschool while living in Venezuela, before his parents moved to Dominican Republic, and thereafter to Cuba in 1810.
A few years later, when Del Monte was a twelve-year-old, his parents enrolled him into the Seminary of San Carlos, a catholic alma mater of Leonardo Gamboa in the novel [[Cecilia Valdés[[ by [[Cirilo Villaverde]] (1812 - 1894).
He completed studies at the [[University of Havana]] and right after graduation, around the 1820s, he had a notable influence as an associate for a prominent lawyer in [[Havana]], who shortly after, financed a trip throughout Europe and the United States for the young Del Monte.
Rosa's father was Domingo de Aldama y Arechaga, ranked as the twelfth richest in an 1836 survey of the most wealthy Cubans.
The first house was designed by José Manuel Carrerá, an architect of Dominican origin and is linked to all his companies and the projects of the Alfonso family, which was his wife's, especially the railway network that both deployed in the province of [[Matanzas]].
The influence of Don Domingo Aldama is revealed in the fact that in order to authorize him to construct the Palace, the authorities repealed the order prohibiting civil constructions in the military zone adjacent to the [[Campo de Marte, Havana| Campo de Marte]], although the Palace's front elevation was required to that space.
de Construcciones en Cuba, notes that it is a masonry house, even the interior partitions, and draws attention to the main staircase, built with Carrara marble blocks, the treads are adjusted to each other without any added external support.

Named after the founder Sulyaman I of Tlemcen, the great grandchild of Hasan ibn Ali, the Sulaymanids are brothers with the Idrisids dynasty of Morocco.
It begins according to Ibn Khaldūn with the flight of Sulaymān Ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Kāmil towards the Maghreb after the Battle of Fakhkh in 786, then its takeover of Tlemcen then in the hand of the Zenata, (in the northwest of present-day Algeria).
But not all Arab chroniclers agree that this brother of Idrīs I survived the massacre or that he does not owe him the governorate of the city.
It seems better supported that Idrīs II, the son of Idrīs I, conquered around 814 Tlemcen, a city then probably with a strong Christian population, a meeting point of the Berber populations and a meeting place of the markets, by putting on the run his chief Maġrāwa Muḥammad Ibn H̱azar.
He would then have handed the city over to his cousin Muḥammad, the son of Sulaymān Ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Kāmil, who thereby founded the dynasty of Sulaymānides after his father's name.
According to historian Gilbert Meynier, one of the descendants of Idris I, Mūḥāmmād Ibn Sūlāymān, creates in the region of Tlemcen, the « sulaymanid kingdom », a state which seems to control only the cities, coexisting with the neighboring tribes which preserve their Kharidjite heterodoxy.
Tlemcen becomes a distinguished city, in growing connection with the Arab culture of Al-Andalus, in 931 the Fatimids took the city and put an end to the power of the Sulaymanids who took refuge in Al-Andalus.
The government of Tlemcen was under the responsibility of Aḥmād, son of Mūḥāmmād then to Mūḥāmmād son of Aḥmād, then to Al-Qasseem son of Mūḥāmmād son of Aḥmād.
Idris receives Archgul, on the other hand, his brother Yahya joins forces with the Umayyads in the time of Abd al-Rahman I.
The city of Dejrawa which shelters Al-Hāssān Ibn Abû'l ‘Aych will be besieged by Ibn Abû'l‘ Afya, representative of the Umayyads in the central Maghreb (current Algeria).
Ténès (in the current Wilaya of Chlef in Algeria) will be the seat of Ibrahim, son of Mūḥāmmād, then it will be in the hands of his son Mūḥāmmād, of the same name, then to Ibrahim (same name), then to Yahya and Ali.
Al Kheyr Ibn Mūhāmmād Ibn Khazer of the Maġrāwī will help Hamza and Yahiya, son of Ali to cross to Spain.
And among the descendants of Mūhāmmād, son of Sulayman, there is Ituwich, son of Hatech, son of Al Hassan, son of Muhammed, son of Sulayman, and Hammad, son of Ali, son of Mūhāmmād, son of Sulayman.
Ibn Khaldun notes that Souk Hamza at Bougie, according to Ibn Hazm, does not bear the name of an Arab alid Idrissides, but of an Arab Sulaymanid.
According to Ibn Khaldūn in his appendix IV, Sīd Sūlāymān Ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Kāmīl escapes towards the Maghreb during the Abbasids, he arrives at Tiaret after the death of his brother Idris I and he wanted to take power.

I, Anna Komnene is a novel by Bulgarian historian Vera Mutafchieva, a specialist in Ottoman studies and the daughter of historian Petar Mutafchiev.
The novel has a feminist tone: the fate of the heroine, represented through the perspectives of the women around her, is typical of the so-called androcratic civilization, in which the male point of view and values are dominant.
By trying, sometimes against her will, to deal with it, the woman undermines life's diversity and balance, because her calling is to be environmentally friendly, intuitive and tolerant, and to harmonize the world through motherhood and world-making.
It is a self-contradictory work that combines and contrasts the apologetics of the first historian with the artificial feminism of the 20th century.
Anna Komnene is a maternal heir to the Cometopuli dynasty and in this sense is a child of dualism – between the classical Greco-Roman world and the Tsar Samuel of Bulgaria, who took the name of the Biblical prophet Samuel in an attempt to save the legacy of the Golden Age of medieval Bulgarian culture.
Mutafchieva stays close to the classic novel, rather than transitioning to journalism as many Bulgarian writers did after the revolutions of 1989.

In the north-west, the border starts at the Atlantic coast at Jinnak Creek, and then proceeds eastwards via a straight line.
Just to the west of the Gambian town of Ngeyen Sanjal the border proceeds to roughly parallel the north bank of the Gambia river at a distance of about 10km, bending round in the far east to encompass Koina and Kantale Kunde within Gambian territory, before proceeding westwards again at about 10km parallel to the river’s southern bank.
Just east of Dumbutu (Gambia) the boundary veers south in a straight line, then turns at a right angle to the west, proceeding via a straight line before reaching the San Pedro river; the boundary then follows this river out to the Atlantic Ocean.
France and Britain began exploring and trading along the West African coast from the 17th century, and the two powers contended for supremacy in the Senegambia region over the following centuries.
The 1880s saw an intense competition between the European powers for territories in Africa, a process known as the Scramble for Africa.
The process culminated in the Berlin Conference of 1884, in which the European nations concerned agreed upon their respective territorial claims and the rules of engagements going forward.
As a result, France and Britain signed a treaty on 10 August 1889 delimiting a boundary between Gambia and Senegal, extending the Gambia east as far as Yarbutenda.
Various pillars were erected to mark the boundary on the ground, with further on-the-ground demarcation being conducted in 1911 and 1925.
In 1960 France granted Senegal independence; Gambia became independent in 1965, at which point the border became an international one between two sovereign states.

Minnesota Valley State Trail is a 27-mile (43 km), multi-use trail in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area that runs parallel to the Minnesota River from the cities of Belle Plaine to Shakopee.
First established in 1969, and never fully completed, the trail is undergoing a 13.5 mile (22 km) extension in 2019 and 2020.
The trail weaves in and out of floodplain areas and forests, with dense oak forests, oak savannas, wetlands, and lakes as the most common features.
The trail has a total elevation gain of 1,288 feet (393 m) over its lengthy course, but it is relatively flat with elevation ranging from 713 feet (218 m) to 800 feet (242 m) above sea level.
The Minnesota River valley has been a vital, but overlooked natural area, especially as it approaches confluence with the Mississippi River near Fort Snelling State Park.
In 1969, the Minnesota Legislature established a state trail system in the Minnesota River valley from the city of LeSeur to Fort Snelling State Park.
By 2019, only the 27-mile segment from Belle Plaine to Shakopee had been developed, including a 17-mile natural surface trail from Belle Plaine to Chaska, and a 10-mile paved trail from Chaska to Shakopee.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is responsible for maintaining the trail, though segments of it pass through areas under state, local, and federal jurisdiction.
The 13.5 mile (22 km) extension pushes the northern end of the trail up from the Bloomington Ferry Bridge to the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center.
After the extension is complete, trail users will be able to connect to the Big Rivers Regional Trail at the wildlife refuge.
Portions of the trail extension are slated to be paved, which has generated some local controversy, especially from mountain biking enthusiasts.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources manages some state corridor trails and segments, while other trails/segments may be entirely managed by local governments but still included in a statewide inventory.

The Prince and the Dressmaker is a fairy tale graphic novel written and illustrated by Jen Wang and released in 2018 by First Second Books.
After creating a shocking dress for a young lady attending the 16th birthday party of Crown Prince Sebastian of Belgium, the young seamstress Frances is hired by a mysterious client.
At a meeting with a princess, Sebastian insists he is not a good fit for her, at which point his father gets angry and collapses.
Crystallia and Frances go out to the ballet to show Aurelia Frances's designs, but Crystallia insists that Frances cannot attend the meeting because Frances's status as Sebastian's seamstress is well-known and would give away Crystallia's secret.
Frances, again working as a low-level seamstress, is asked by Peter Trippley to design pared down versions of her Crystallia outfits for Trippley's.
Overhearing gossip of the happenings in court, Frances finds Sebastian's manservant Emile who tells her that Sebastian left Crystallia's outfits to Frances.

Trippley's father demands that Crystallia be seized for ruining his show but the king, also clad in an ornate dress of Crystallia's, intervenes on behalf of his child and walks the runway himself.
Her initial inspiration for the book came from overlapping interests in writing a contemporary Disney-style fairytale with developing a story about a superhero who could create clothes that transform those who wore them.
Wang originally wrote both Frances and Sebastian as older characters, but adapted the characters to be teenagers which she realized heightened the stakes of the characters' realizations about themselves but otherwise fundamentally changed very little about the story.

This stemmed from Hayakawa feeling more natural singing in English than Japanese due to his early years learning English and hip-hopping between Japan and the United States, and the bands western influences which helped to elevate this sound into their music] and translate the energy to Japanese audiences at the time.
Some of these songs would end up being included on their debut studio album, Final Destination, which was released in the backend of 2009.
The latter would end up being released worldwide in 2014 as a reissue, including new songs from their Japanese exclusive EP Until The End, following being signed to the North American-based label Hopeless Records that is home to bands such as All Time Low, Avenged Sevenfold and Silverstein.
This would allow them to tour all around the world with bands such as Bullet for My Valentine and Papa Roach, as well as playing festivals in Europe such as Download and Rock am Ring.
To coincide with this milestone, they released their fifth studio album Fateless, in October of the same year, as well as a tour that would end with them playing at the famous Nippon Budokan venue.
This tease would lead to speculation of a new album which was later released as The Side Effects in August 2019.
Owls were her favourite animals, the two owls on either side of a key to his represent the duality of his nationality.
His second tattoo had the symbol from their Nothing Lasts Forever EP, which has the meaning of taking your life for granted and living it to the fullest.
The third tattoo Hayakawa got was the Vena logo on his neck, which was featured on the cover for that album.
As a young kid, Hayakawa would be influenced by the Japanese J-pop scene, as well as the music his older brother tended to listen to.
It wasn't until the Nu-metal craze in 1999 where Hayakawa started to get into heavier bands, citing this as a critical point of his life which would end up helping him carving his career path.
However, his major influences as a vocalist are Chester Bennington of Linkin Park and Brandon Boyd of Incubus, who were also his two favourite bands growing up.
The 1985 Campionati Internazionali di Sicilia, also known by its sponsored name Kim Top Line Trophy, was a men's tennis tournament played on outdoor clay courts in Palermo, Italy that was part of the 1985 Nabisco Grand Prix.
It was 81 meters tall and stored up to 100,000 cubic meters of gas while in use between 1933 and 1993.
After it was taken out of use several possible use cases were suggested, most notably painting it like a can of Coca-Cola for the 1995 World Championships in Athletics.
The building was demolished in 2017 after many complications among them two endangered falcons nesting on top of the building and various processes being appealed.
It was in the shape of a 20 sided polygon with an internal diameter of and a height of with a gas capacity of .
The most famous of these is The Coca-Cola Company's proposal to repaint it to look like a can of Coca-Cola for an ad campaign in connection to the 1995 World Championships in Athletics.
While empty it was used for a few purposes including recording several music videos, including Glorious by Andreas Johnson, a sonic art installation by Åke Parmerud and Olle Niklasson, and housing telecommunications equipment.
Gasklockan deteriorated further over time making it more expensive to renovate or maintain with a maintenance cost of 100,000 Swedish kronor (US$10,000) each year in 2011 making demolition more attractive.
By this time two endangered peregrine falcons had built a nest in the abandoned building requiring an exemption to the endangered species protection regulations.
The application process was started immediately after getting approval and came to an end in December 2014 when the county granted the exemption conditioned on the falcons finding a new nest.
A demolition company was contracted to perform the demolition, but the process was appealed by another demolition company taking part in the negotiations.
The appeal was rejected by the administrative court in October 2015, but the decision was once again appealed to the administrative court of appeal in November 2015.
The demolition was rescheduled to start in February 2017, but if any further delays occurred the demolition would not be finished before the nesting season for the birds requiring it to be delayed until September.
The demolition began in early 2017 and was performed by lifting the building using 20 jackscrews and removing the bottom most section.

The band is known for its unique instrumentation—the vocalists double on snare drum and ukulele and are supported by dual trombones, bass and guitar.
The group's musical repertoire is largely determined by DaSilva and Perea and draws upon songs from early jazz and the american songbook as well as more contemporary pieces arranged for a traditional jazz aesthetic.
During her education at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, DaSilva worked as a vocalist throughout the greater New York City area.
While substituting for another vocalist at the Hotel Chantelle in New York City’s Lower East Side in 2013, DaSilva became acquainted with the venue’s manager, who inquired if she had a band of her own that could perform at the venue on Sundays.
The duo augmented performances by respectively doubling on snare drum and ukulele and eventually integrated trombonists Joe McDonough and Rob Edwards as well as performers, including guitarist Gabe Schnider, saxophonist Eddie Barbash, bassist Dylan Shamat, and others.
Also associated with him is the Da Costa Book of Hours, 1515, now in the Morgan Library and Museum in New York.
The earliest known documental evidence of Álvaro da Costa's existence has him as a chamberlain to Manuel, Duke of Beja, in 1494.
When the Duke inherited the throne in 1495, Álvaro da Costa remained in the King's retinue; in 1498 he is identified as a knight of the King's household, and accompanied the King and his pregnant wife Queen Isabella when they were sworn heirs presumptive of the Crown of Castile.
Initially, Beatriz de Paiva acted as wet nurse to John, Prince of Portugal, whose birth coincided with that of their eldest son Gil Eanes, however, she stopped lactating after having fallen ill.
It was Álvaro da Costa who, in 1506, brought King Manuel the first Golden Rose offered to him by Pope Julius II.
In 1517, he was responsible for the secret negotiations for the King's third marriage, to Eleanor of Austria, in political circumstances of particular complexity; it was Álvaro da Costa who stood in for the King during the proxy wedding ceremony held in Zaragoza in 1518.
He was entrusted with a final diplomatic mission in 1520: the negotiations for the marriage of the King's daughter, Infanta Beatrice, to Charles III, Duke of Savoy.
He was buried in the , in Évora, in an elaborate Mannerist arcosolium sculpted still in Costa's lifetime by Nicolas Chantereine.
When the convent was abandoned and later demolished in the 19th century, the funerary monument was moved to the future , where it still stands today.
Gingival grafting, also called gum grafting or periodontal plastic surgery, is a generic term for the performance of any of a number of periodontal surgical procedures in which the gum tissue is grafted.
The soft tissue in the oral cavity is classified as either keratinized or nonkeratinized based on the presence of keratin in the epithelium.
Alveolar mucosa is non keratinized oral epithelium and is located apical to the keratinized tissue, delineated by the mucogingival junction (MGJ).
This can result in sensitivity or pain from the exposed tooth root surface (dentin is more permeable and soft compared to enamel and dentin is what makes up the tooth root).
While not all cases of gingival recession require surgical correction, there are various options if that is what the patient desires.
On the other hand, if one desires to pursue corrective therapy, there are a wide variety of techniques ranging from autograft (your own tissue, usually taken from the palate), allograft (someone else's tissue, cadaver), xenograft (animal, usually porcine or bovine) or simply repositioning of the tissue native to the site.
The benefits of corrective therapy often result in decreased sensitivity through coverage of the root surface in addition to a gain in the keratinized tissue mentioned beforehand.
Gum recession exposes the roots of teeth, which can lead to sensitivity and put teeth at a higher risk of damage or disease due to the loosening of their attachment within the gums and bones of the jaw.
Should gum recession continue, bone and keratinized tissue will be at a greater risk of being damaged and permanently lost around the teeth.
The aim of a gum graft is to extend keratinized tissue of the gums to cover tooth roots, which restores their firm placement within the jaw and prevents further damage.
Traditional gum grafting will have a piece of the gums harvested from the roof of the mouth and sutured facing the exposed root to increase the lost keratinized tissue.
Allografting techniques (skin from cadavers bought from tissue banks) are used as well to supply the surgeon with larger amount of tissues when needed in larger cases, but the type of healing and the risk of possible disease transmission should be considered and disclosed to the patient when opting for such technique.
Blood-derived growth factors have been used in medicine and oral surgery for more than twenty years with an abundance of scientific data supporting its role in soft and hard tissue regenerations.
APRF introduced by Dr. Choukroun represents the fourth improved generation of such technology and has been widely use in the field of dentistry and oral surgery.
The advantages of APRF are of multiple folds: Unlimited amount (only per tube harvested), no risk of rejection or disease transmission (using your own blood), high noble type of healing (autogenous growth factors and hematopoietic stem cells).
A small amount of blood ( per tube) is harvested and spun in a centrifuge for eight minutes at 1300 rpm.
A fibrin clot packed with blood-derived growth factors, extra cellular matrix and hematopoietic stem cells is fabricated and implanted into the gums above the area of gum recession.
Advanced platelet-rich fibrin will promote the patient's own gums to fabricate more gum thus eliminating the need to harvest gums from the roof of the mouth or the use of allografting tissue.
Coronally and apically positioned flaps, although technically not grafting procedures, are other forms of a pedicle grafts in that gingival tissue is freed up and moved either coronally or apically.
A free gingival graft is a dental procedure where a small layer of tissue is removed from the palate of the patient's mouth and then relocated to the site of gum recession.
A subepithelial connective tissue graft takes tissue from under healthy gum tissue in the palate, which may be placed at the area of gum recession.
This procedure has the advantage of excellent predictability of root coverage, as well as decreased pain at the palatal donor site compared to the free gingival graft.
This is not always an option, as the constraint that there must be sufficient tissue immediately lateral to the area of interest is an onerous one.
An acellular dermal matrix (such as Alloderm) graft uses donated medically processed human skin tissue as a source for the graft.
The advantage of this procedure is no need for a palatal donor site, and though some periodontists consider it equally successful as a subepithelial connective tissue graft, others consider it less successful.
Guided bone reconstruction is a technique in which bone growth is enhanced by preventing soft tissue ingrowth into the desired area and utilizes either resorbable or nonresorbable membranes.
Gum grafts are usually performed by periodontists who are trained in these procedures, though general-purpose dentists may offer the procedures themselves.
Outcome comparisons between both are highly variable, though with periodontists being specially-trained, periodontists generally recommend patients seeking their services over general-practice dentists.
IL2P (Improved Layer 2 Protocol) is a data link layer protocol originally derived from layer 2 of the X.25 protocol suite and designed for use by amateur radio operators.
It is responsible for establishing link-layer connections, transferring data encapsulated in frames between nodes, and detecting errors introduced by the communications channel.
The Improved Layer 2 Protocol (IL2P) was created by Nino Carrillo, KK4HEJ, based on AX.25 and implements Reed Solomon Forward Error Correction for greater accuracy and throughput than either AX.25 or FX.25.
IL2P was first implemented in Terrestrial Amateur Radio Packet Network (TARPN) ninoTNC to solve for lossy network links due to high signal to noise ratio or weak signal strength.

Bon Marché Arcade, also known as Bon Marché Buildings, is a heritage-listed building in Perth, Western Australia, located at 74–84 Barrack Street in the Perth central business district.
It is three and four storeys tall, built in 1901 from brick in the Federation Free Classical architectural style, with a tin roof.
Designed by architect H. J. Prockter, it was a prominent feature in Barrack Street when constructed, being taller than the one or two story buildings surrounding it.
The site of the future Bon Marché Arcade was purchased by Bernard Stein, a Jewish bookbinder and former convict, in 1884 as a block of land.
In 1898 it was occupied by stock and share broker, an employment bureau, estate agents, printing works, an importer of Remington typewriters, a manufacturer’s agent, and a financier, Henry Seeligson.
The building was purchased in 1899 by William Gordon Brookman, a property developer who had made his fortune in Kalgoorlie gold mines during the gold rushes.
By 1901 Brookman had offices in the building, and other new tenants included the architects A. H. Smith and H. J. Prockter.
Prockter designed a four-storey building to be constructed on the site, and Brookman received approval for the development on 21 September 1900.
A three-storey addition was built at the rear, an additional storey was added to the existing structure, and there were extensive alterations to the interior and walls.
In 1919, Bon Marché Stores Ltd had bought the property for £4000, to expand their existing premises which ran between Hay Street and Murray Street.
This followed the earlier sale to P. L. Smith by 1902, and subsequent ownership by Executor Trustee Agency Co. Ltd. of South Australia from 1913 to 1919.
In 1923, the company was granted a building licence for the neighbouring property at 80 Barrack Street, and paid £1,200 for the works.
The name Bon Marché Buildings was used as early as 1929, and throughout the inter-war and World War Two years for the buildings at 78–82 Barrack Street, with the central arcade at 80 Barrack Street known as Bon Marché Arcade.
In April 1954, David Jones bought a controlling interest in Bon Marché, and renamed the business to David Jones in August of that year.
The closure and demolition of the Hay Street David Jones store in 1979 led to a vast decline in patronage of the arcade.
The original pink terrazzo flooring was revealed when coverings were removed, inlaid with brass lettering of the arcade's name, but this was overlain with ceramic tiles.
These defects in details on the ground floor were noted when the building was listed on the City of Perth's Municipal Heritage Inventory in 2001, though the upper levels were considered intact.

William Sillman Hillyer (April 2, 1831 – July 12, 1874) was an American lawyer and soldier who advanced through the ranks to Brevet Brigadier General during the American Civil War.
During most of the Civil War he served under General Grant and was with him at the Battle of Fort Donelson, Battle of Shiloh and the Siege of Vicksburg.
Hillyer's father was the postmaster of Henderson, Kentucky; his mother was a niece of Benjamin Silliman, a noted scientist and an educator at Yale University.
Hillyer lost both his parents when he was a youth, and along with his older sister Elizabeth, went to live with their aunt Mary Lapsley in New Albany, Indiana.
Hillyer married Anna Rankin of Newark—together they had six children which include twin sons whom he named after Generals Grant and Rawlings.
He often wrote to his wife concerning personal matters and other activities, with other correspondence to his friends and acquaintances and to a number of military personnel including Ulysses S. Grant.
The Hillyer papers also include various military documents, several of Hillyer's speeches, photographs of Hillyer with his family a scrapbook of newspaper and other clippings, and an assortment of miscellaneous items relating to the Civil War.
In 1855 Hillyer moved to St. Louis, Missouri, and together formed the law firm of McClellan, Hillyer and Moody During this time he met Ulysses S. Grant, who was renting office quarters from the firm.
In 1861 Hillyer served as a private in the Union army and was present during the capture of Camp Jackson in Missouri on May 10.
Soon after Ulysses Grant was commissioned as brigadier-general and in August 1861 he offered Hillyer from his former regiment a place on his staff, with the rank of captain.
On October 4, while stationed in Cairo, Illinois, Rawlings by Special Order, appointed Hillyer as the Mustering Officer for the district in compliance to Lincoln's call for 75,000 volunteers.
The entire dispatch was written and carried by Hillyer who delivered it in person to Confederate General Buckner, commander of the fort.
After the battle Colonel Hillyer and Brigadier General Lew Wallace had a falling out over Wallace's report on the battle, which claimed that Hillyer and Grant's other aides were not seen on the battlefield by Wallace or any of his aids.
Hillyer denied the charge and later criticized Wallace claiming his report exaggerated the contributions of Wallace and his division, and accused him of cowardice.
In his report of the battle Hillyer and other aides were mentioned by General Grant for their gallantry and services during the battle.
In April 1862 Governor Hamilton Gamble of Missouri appointed Hillyer as aide-de-camp with a promotion to the rank of Colonel of Volunteers on May 3, 1862.
Hillyer was again appointed Provost Marshal General of the Department of the Tennessee n June 24 having jurisdiction over various sections in Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky.
Serving under General Grant as one of his aides at the Battle of Shiloh, Hillyer was dispatched to St. Louis by the General to beseech General Halleck for permission for Grant to attack Johnson's army at Corinth before they were organized.
On the third day at Shiloh, by special order of General Grant, Hillyer led a brigade and charged the Confederate's position, which helped to change the tide of the battle in favor of the Union troops.
When General Grant was criticized by the press for the high casualties at Shiloh, Hillyer, in a letter to Grant's father, defended the general, maintaining that this was a falsehood spread by the fleeing green troops.
In March, 1865 he was brevetted brigadier general and in June served as the chairman of the Grand Reunion of the Army of the Tennessee.
After Rawlings' premature death, Hillyer and several others claimed that it was Rawlings' military insights that were responsible for winning the war.
In 1868 Hillyer was appointed a U.S. revenue agent by President Andrew Johnson until the position was abolished by Congress, after which he served as a lawyer for the Commissioners of Immigration.
Hillyer was nominated in 1871 as a candidate for president of the New York Board of Commissioners, for general appraiser of cargo and goods at the New York Customs House, and for naval officer, but Senator Roscoe Conkling opposed his nomination.
While he was bedridden at the Owen House during the last three weeks of his life President Grant was a daily visitor at his bedside.

The Thames Cable Tunnel, also known as the Tilbury – Gravesend Cable Tunnel, is a tunnel carrying high-voltage electrical transmission lines beneath the lower River Thames between Tilbury and Gravesend.
Completed in 1970 at a cost of around £3 million (equivalent to £ million in ) by the Central Electricity Generating Board, the tunnel carries 400 kV transmission cables between substations at Tilbury and Kingsnorth as part of the National Grid.
The tunnel is approximately 45m deep, and was one of the first tunnels in the UK to be lined with pre-cast concrete segments rather than cast iron.
A tunnel was chosen due to the high costs of building an overhead transmission line at this point in the river.

When it was discovered in 1966 by Max Lustig, John K. Ruff and Charles B. Colburn at the Redstone Research Laboratories, they allowed phosphorus iododifluoride to react with mercury at room temperature.
The P-P bond in diphosphorus tetrafluoride is much stronger than the corresponding N-N bond in dinitrogen tetrafluoride which easily breaks into nitrogen difluoride.
Under ultraviolet light diphosphorus tetrafluoride reacts with alkynes connected to trifluoromethyl groups to add difluorophosphino (-PF) groups on each side of a double bond.
Diphosphorus tetrafluoride reacts with oxygen to yield diphosphorus tetrafluoride oxide, which has one oxygen atom inserted between the two phosphorus atoms.
Prior to the Defence Act of 2000, the Swedish government's starting point was that only two units were needed to meet the Swedish Armed Forces' future training of coastal artillery units.
Prior to the Defence Act, there were four coastal artillery regiments, Vaxholm Coastal Artillery Regiment and the 1st Coastal Artillery Brigade (KA 1) in Vaxholm, Karlskrona Coastal Artillery Regiment and the 2nd Coastal Artillery Brigade (KA 2) in Karlskrona, Gotland Coastal Artillery Regiment (KA 3) on Gotland and Älvsborg Coastal Artillery Regiment (KA 4) in Gothenburg.
The government considered that the coastal artillery regiment in Vaxholm would constitute the main unit of the Swedish Armed Forces' basic organization.
In view of the fact that Vaxholm had an existing infrastructure with a good proximity to the Stockholm archipelago with training areas, which was considered well-dimensioned for the terrain types the unit is expected to operate in.
The question of what the other unit that would remain as a support unit for Vaxholm was between the coastal artillery regiments in Karlskrona and Gothenburg.
In the overall assessment, it was considered that greater investments in both Gothenburg and Karlskrona would be required, as they both lacked the type of training areas that Vaxholm had.
Also the central location in Western Sweden, seen from a conscription travel perspective, contributed to the coastal artillery regiment in Gothenburg.
As a result, Vaxholm Coastal Artillery Regiment and the 1st Coastal Artillery Brigade (KA 1) in Vaxholm and Älvsborg Coastal Artillery Regiment (KA 4) in Gothenburg remained in the basic organization while Karlskrona Coastal Artillery Regiment and the 2nd Coastal Artillery Brigade (KA 2) in Karlskrona and Gotland Coastal Artillery Regiment (KA 3) on Gotland were disbanded.
With the Defence Act, the fixed coastal artillery was disbanded, and the remaining units instead became amphibious units where the two coastal artillery regiments were reorganized into amphibious regiments, which organized an amphibious brigade staff and three amphibious battalions.
Prior to the Defence Act of 2004, the government felt that only one platform for training amphibious units in the basic organization was needed where the government considered that the 1st Marine Regiment (Amf 1) in Vaxholm should be maintained.
Among other things, when referring to the government's bill 1999/2000:30, where the government highlighted Vaxholm as the main platform because of the good practice conditions in the Stockholm archipelago, and that the valuation that was then made was still valid.
However, in the future it was considered important to continue to train units that could perform and operate on the Swedish West Coast.
On 31 December 2004, the 4th Marine Regiment was disbanded, and from 1 January 2005, the regiment was transferred to a decommissioning organization until the disbandment was completed by 30 June 2006.
On 5 September 2005, the commanding officer of the 4th Marine Regiment handed its colour over to the commanding officer of the 1st Marine Regiment.
The regimental colour was presented to the then Älvsborg Coastal Artillery Regiment (KA 4) at the Artillery Yard in Stockholm by the Chief of the Navy Staff, Vice Admiral Peter Nordbeck on 17 June 1995.
At a simple ceremony on 5 September 2005 the commander of the 4th Marine Regiment, Colonel Stefan Gustafsson, handed the colour to the commander of the 1st Marine Regiment, Colonel Lars-Olof Corneliusson, who commanded the colour to be carried by the amphibious detachment in Gothenburg.

In academic publishing, the word backlog usually refers to the phenomenon that a journal has a number of accepted papers waiting to be published for a significant time.
The backlog is usually described in months; for instance, a certain journal could have a backlog of 12 months, which means that on average it takes one year for the journal to publish a paper that has been accepted.
This waiting time adds on top of the time between initial submission and acceptance of a paper, which can also vary.
Some journals have a backlog of more than a year, which is usually caused by the journal's editors' decision to accept more or longer papers than the journal publishes in a certain time interval.
The American Mathematical Society publishes a list of the backlog of mathematical journals each year in the November issue of the Notices.
If a journal has a heavy backlog, this might have the effect that the journal is less likely to accept papers in the future, or even reject all manuscript submissions temporarily.

Kongu Chera dynasty, or Cheras/Keralas of Kongu/Karur, or simply as the Chera/Kerala dynasty, were a medieval royal lineage in south India, initially ruling over western Tamil Nadu and central Kerala.
There are clear indications as to how different branches of the Chera family managed Karur (Vanchi), Muchiri (Vanchi), and Thondi in the early Tamil poems.
A later grant (695 AD) of king Vinayaditya II Satyasraya, with reference to the vassalage of the Kerala country, is now reckoned as a more dependable record.
By the beginning of early medieval period, Karur (in interior Tamil Nadu) had acquired much prominence with respect to the other two centers, Muchiri-Vanchi and Thondi (both in Kerala).
There was a domination of present-day Kerala regions of the old Chera country by the Kongu Cheras (probably via some form of viceregal rule).
Perhaps the Chera branch from present-day Kerala had crossed the Ghat Mountains to offer support to the Adigaman and after defeat they were pursued up to the Palghat Gap by the Pandya forces.
The western portions of the Chera country became an independent kingdom, the Chera/Perumal kingdom, with its own headquarters at Makotai (Muchiri/Vanchi).
The branch of Chera family survived in Kongu country, now Pandya vassals, are described in later inscriptions (9th-11th centuries) as members of Chandra-Aditya Kula (the Luni-Solar Race).
The two branches of the Chera family, the Kongu Cheras and the Chera/Perumals, supported by the Pandyas and the Cholas respectively, were rivals in this period.
It was initially assumed by K. A. N. Sastri and E. P. N. K. Pillai that the Vira Narayana had married a Chera/Perumal princess of Kerala.
When the Chola king Parantaka conquered the Pandyas in 910 AD, the Chera/Perumals might have allowed to have rule parts of Kongu country (the fate of the Kongu Chera country, then ruled by Kongu Cheras, upon the fall of Madurai is not known).
Pandya king Rajasimha II, who was defeated by Parantaka Chola, is known to have found asylum in Kerala (c. 920 AD).
Amara Bhujanga Deva, one of the princes defeated by Chola king Rajaraja (Tiruvalangadu Grant), was probably a Pandya or a Kongu Chera prince.
This royal was probably a Kongu-Chera of Chandra-Aditya Kula or a Pandya prince (son of a Pandya and a Kongu Chera princess).
Several stone and copper inscriptions of the Kongu Cheras, probably Chola vassals, dated by palaeography to 9th – 11th centuries AD, are found in places like Vellalur Namakkal, Pazhani, Perur, Dharmapuram, Erode and Tirukkannapuram.
The anai achu coin was current in western Tamil Nadu and to some extend in Kerala in the 12th-13th centuries AD.

The Treaty for the Suppression of the African Slave Trade was the first multilateral treaty for the suppression of the slave trade, signed at London on 20 December 1841 by the representatives of the Austrian Empire, the Kingdom of France, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire.
Austria, Great Britain, Prussia and Russia subsequently ratified the treaty, but Louis Philippe I, king of France, declined to do so.
Lewis Cass, the American ambassador to France, had protested to the French Foreign Minister, François Guizot, that the treaty would curtail national sovereignty by instituting an international right of search.
Rather than concede such a right, the United States in the 1842 Webster–Ashburton Treaty agreed to joint searches by British and American squadrons.

Whilst there he showed a keen interest in science and was the last stundent at the college to sit the sceince exam before studies were limited to matters of theology in 1895.
Due to his mothers illness his course he postponed his studies before eventually obtaining a degree from Bangor University in 1902.
He went on to study agriculture at Bangor, Aberystwyth and Oxford and gained a reputation as an authority on the anatomy of trees.
In 1937, aged 60 he resigned from the Ministry of Agriculture and accepted a job as the Principal of the Presbyterian College, Carmarthen.

Evan Davies (6 January 1801 – 23 February 1888), also known by his bardic name Myfyr Morganwg was a Welsh bard, druid and antiquarian.
Born in Pencoed, Glamorganshire, it is thought that Davies received no formal education; instead he spent his early years studying Welsh Bardic Rules and teaching himself mathematics, among other subjects.
In 1842 he rose to prominence when he and John Jones of Llangollen began openly debating the subject of temperance at a meeting in Llantrisant, Glamorganshire.
For about 25 years the practice of holding meetings at the hour of equinoxes and solstices became a Glamorgan tradition, and Davies published a number of books on druidism.
Much of his Neo druidic writings were nothing more than a continuation of the 18th-century revival and thus are built largely around writings produced in the 18th century and after by second-hand sources and theorists.

The case of the annulment of a marriage due to the mistaken virginity of the wife was the result of a court ruling.
On the 1st 2008, the high court of Lille (France) annulled a marriage on the grounds of « mistaken essential qualities of the spouse » in accordance with article 180 paragraph 2 [archive] of the French civil code.
According to the court, the woman was not a virgin even though she knew that this was a determining factor in the motivation and the consent to marriage of the husband.
At the end of 2008, a controversy ensued and several public figures, politicians, religious figures and intellectuals reacted to the decision.
Following these events, the Minister of Justice Rachida Dati asked the Ministère public, namely the Procureur général of Douai, to make an appeal against the wishes of the couple.
At around four in the morning, after the newlyweds had retired to their bedroom, the husband returned to the guests and angrily informed them that his wife was not a virgin.
It would therefore be an annulment on the grounds of ‘mistaken essential qualities of the spouse [...] which were determining factors in his consent’, in accordance with article 180 paragraph 2 of the French civil code concerning a ‘mistake regarding the person’.
On the 1st 2008, the high court of Lille announced the annulment of the marriage on the basis of article 180 of the civil code.
The woman’s acceptance of the request allowed it to be deduced that she had known that her virginity constituted, in the view of her husband, an essential quality with regards to the consent to the proposed marriage.
The judgement being provided by provisional enforcement, the parquet also summoned the parties in emergency interim proceedings, (including the civil official of Mons-en-Barœul) to request his judgment.
The court announced the end of the provisional enforcement of the annulment ruling, invoking the risk of an ‘irreparable prejudice, for both parties as well as for public order’.
One of the objectives is to prevent the risk of having to annul a second marriage which would be contracted after the annulment of the first one, the annulment decision susceptible to being reversed.
The woman’s lawyer, Mr Mauger, declared that he would request an annulment of the marriage, but for different reasons than those given in the previous instance.
The Court considered that the woman’s virginity had not been cited by the husband as a necessary condition of the marriage.
In fact, the husband indicated in his pleadings that the mistake was not about virginity but about the confidence he had in his wife, and that virginity was merely an expectation.
According to him, his wife’s lie caused a mistake with regards to the essential quality of the confidence he had in her.
Nevertheless, commenting on the possibility of virginity being an essential quality, the Court clarified that in any event, the wife’s virginity cannot be considered as an essential quality since it has no negative impact on married life.
The Court equally rejected the annulment application formulated by the wife, who alleged that her husband did not have ‘the willingness to accept, even the capacity to understand the obligation of respect between spouses’ because ‘the facts do not allow the characterisation of a mistake of the wife on essential qualities of the husband’.
The version of events given by the husband is known from the summary of his statement drawn up by the court: his future wife had been presented to him as single and chaste and it was only on the night of the marriage that she admitted a previous liaison.
Because of this lie, the trust necessary for a marital relationship seemed to him to be lacking, justifying the annulment of the marriage.
He notably exposed that the wife had had a long previous liaison, never mentioned before the marriage, and underlined again that it was above all due to this concealment that his client wished to be released from matrimonial ties - even if the lack of virginity had also played a role.
Mr Xavier Labbée underlined additionally that religion had nothing to do with the court’s decision, and that certain comments which have highlighted it without subtlety are ‘scandalous’ (his summons, however, refers to a ‘community where it is tradition that a wife remains a virgin until marriage); he explains additionally that an annulment has the advantage over a divorce since it helps the ex-wife to ‘start afresh’.
The future spouses had met two years before the marriage, during which time the woman did not have ‘the strength’ to explain to her fiancé that she was no longer a virgin; she had even considered an operation to reconstruct her hymen.
On their wedding night, her angry husband had announced the news to the guests, at four in the morning before immediately driving back to his parents’ house.
He then explained his decision to ‘accept the annulment’: it was not for him a ‘submission’ but a strategy allowing ‘technical escape’ of a procedure that risked being long, but in which he was convinced that his client would have been able to obtain justice if she had chosen to oppose her husband’s request.

Ethel Shanas (Chicago, September 6, 1914 – Evanston, January 20, 2005) was a well-known American scholar in the fields of Sociology of medicine and gerontology.
Shanas graduated in 1949 at the University of Chicago with a dissertation on the social aspects of aging, under the mentorship of Ernest Burgess and Robert J. Havighurst.
She worked at the University of Chicago until 1965, as a member of the university’s Committee on Human Development, a lecturer in Sociology and a staff member of the National Opinion Research Center.
In 1962, she expanded her study with the help of colleagues in Denmark and the United Kingdom, comparing the situation of the elderly in these two countries and in the United States.
First, while the general public in the surveys believed that old age and sickness were synonymous, most of the elderly did not consider themselves sick.
Second, although later surveys will conclude that the situation had changed, Shanas’ studies in the 1950s and 1960s observed that most of the elderly in the United States were not isolated but were supported by their children, grandchildren, and neighbors, and regarded themselves as fully integrated in their communities.
Shanas’ further comparative research extended to Europe showed that in the United Kingdom and Denmark social welfare structures were as, or more, important than the families in supporting the elderly, but this did not prevent cases of poverty, lack of health care, and isolation.

Bishop Monkton Ings is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, or SSSI, situated east of Bishop Monkton village in North Yorkshire, England.
It consists mostly of marshy, calcareous grassland, with some broadleaved woodland, and some fen alongside the two watercourses which run through the site.
In 1807 the Ings, then measuring 4 acres, 1 rod, 6 poles and described as meadow, was put up for auction by the landowner William Wells.
The nearby Broad Close, measuring 1 acre, 2 rods and 17 poles and also described as meadow, may have been another part of the present SSSI site.
In 1883 the Ings was sold again, while in the tenancy of Mary Heath (born ca.1821), likely a relative of George Heath who was now farming in Hunslet, Leeds.
Access is via the muddy Ings Lane public footpath running east from Bishop Monkton village to the north-west corner of the site.
It has greater bird's foot trefoil, square stalked St John's wort, meadow vetchling, tufted vetch, ragged robin, great burnet, wild angelica and common valerian.
On the slightly raised and drier ground can be found a number of plants including wood avens, red campion and dog's mercury.
Annual light grazing is required, by cattle, ponies or hill sheep, to maintain a rich and varied diversity of herbs and other biota on the grassland.
The purpose of this is to prevent a build-up of tall grasses and dead vegetation, which in turn would inhibit diverse plant growth, and overshadow weaker plants.
Changes to drainage, and the use of fertiliser, herbicides and pesticides, are strongly discouraged because they would change the quality and diversity of the present plant and animal life.
The first unit was judged to be in favourable condition, with some hawthorn scrub clearance required, although this section passed the assessment due to a good diversity of species, and the grassland was in good condition.
No explanation is given for the mention in the assessment of ragwort, but it is possible that a balance had to be made between its situation as a controlled plant, with toxicity to cattle and ponies, and its advantages as a pollinator and ability to host certain insect larvae, such as that of the cinnabar moth.
In October 2016, this site was assessed for any potential damaging effect of mining for minerals, for a period up to 2030.
In 2016 the authorities were seeking more sites for sand and gravel quarries, besides the sites that were already being worked.

Severe Tropical Cyclone Tino and an associated convergence zone caused significant damage across 10 island nations in the South Pacific Ocean during January 2020.
First noted as a tropical disturbance during January 11, to the southwest of Honiara in the Solomon Islands, the system gradually developed over the next few days as it moved eastwards in between the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu prior to being named Tino as it approached Fiji during January 16.
Whilst losing latitude, the system continued to strengthen and peaked as a category 3 tropical cyclone on January 17, with signs of an eye forming.
Roads and crops were damaged in Tonga following Tino's passage on January 18 near peak strength, with the worst effects afflicting the island groups of Vavaʻu and Ha'apai.
During January 11, the Fiji Meteorological Service (FMS) reported that Tropical Disturbance 04F had developed, about to the southwest of Honiara in the Solomon Islands.
At this time the system was poorly organised with deep atmospheric convection displaced, to the south of the system's broad low level circulation center.
The disturbance was also located to the north of a subtropical ridge of high pressure, within a favourable environment for further development, with a low to moderate amount of vertical wind shear and warm sea surface temperatures of .
Over the next couple of days, the system slowly consolidated and gradually developed further, as it was steered eastwards by the ridge through Temotu Province of the Solomon Islands.
The system was subsquently classified as a tropical depression during January 15, while it was located about to the northeast of Port Vila in Vanuatu.
After the system had been classified as a tropical depression, the system continued to develop, with deep convection wrapping on to the systems low-level circulation center.
As a result of this and decreasing vertical wind shear, the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a tropical cyclone formation alert on the system.
As the system passed near Rotuma, the FMS reported that the depression had developed into a Category 1 tropical cyclone, on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale and named it Tino.
Later that day the JTWC intiated advisories on the newly named tropical cyclone and designated it as Tropical Cyclone 08P, after its outflow improved with a point source positioning itself over the systems center.
During January 17, Tino passed to the east of Udu Point on the Fijian island of Vanua Levu, before it developed an eye as it moved south-eastwards to the east of Fiji's Lau Islands.
Later that day the FMS reported that Tino had become a Category 3 severe tropical cyclone and had peaked with 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 120 km/h (75 mph).
At around the same time, the JTWC reported that the system had peaked with 1-minute sustained windspeeds of 130 km/h (80 mph), which made Tino equivalent to a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale.
During January 18, as the system passed near or over several of Tonga's Ha'apai islands, Tino started to gradually weaken with dry air wrapping into the systems low level circulation center from the south.
Tino moved out of the tropics later that day, which prompted the FMS to pass the primary warning responsibility for Tino to New Zealand's MetService.
The JTWC then issued their final advisory on the system during January 19, before it was last noted during the next day, as MetService declared that Tino had become an extratropical low.
Severe Tropical Cyclone Tino directly impacted the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Wallis and Futuna, Fiji, Tonga and Niue, while a convergence zone associated with the system impacted Samoa, American Samoa, Tuvalu and the Cook Islands.
During January 14, the FMS issued a tropical cyclone alert for Rotuma, as Tino's precursor tropical disturbance moved eastwards towards the Fijian dependency.
They warned that strong to gale force winds of between were expected in the island group, with heavy rain, squally thunderstorms and sea flooding of coastal areas during high tides.
During the next day as Tino moved closer to the territory, the FMS issued a gale warning was issued for the dependency.
At the height of the storm, the wharf in Oinafa was damaged by Tino's storm surge, necessitating a barge to transport passengers between ships and the island.
The proposal was considered by the Fiji Roads Authority (FRA), who later stated that the agency did not have any plans to relocate the wharf.
During January 14, the FMS issued a heavy rain alert for Vanua Levu, Viti Levu and the Yasawa and Mamanuca group of islands, as well as a tropical cyclone alert for Rotuma.
During that day, the rain alert was expanded to include the Lomaviti, Taveuni and the Northern Lau Islands, before a tropical cyclone alert was issued for the rest of Fiji.
During January 15, as the system moved eastwards a gale warning was issued for Rotuma, while strong wind warnings, heavy rain alerts and warnings were issued for the main islands of Fiji.
Over the next few days, the FMS gradually replaced the tropical cyclone alert, with gale and storm warnings for various islands in the archipelago, including Lakeba, Cicia and Tuvuca.
The FMS also issued flash flood warnings for the whole of Fiji's low lying areas, small streams and flood prone areas.
Fijians were advised by the Water Authority of Fiji to boil and store drinking water in anticipation of the approaching tropical cyclone.
At their greatest extent, 65 shelters were active in the division, housing approximately 2,612 evacuees; overall, 78 evacuation centres housed 3,115 displaced people across Fiji during Tino's passage.

During January 16, the FMS issued a gale warning for Tuvalu as the convergence zone associated with Tino, was expected to impact the island with heavy rain, squally thunderstorms, rough to high seas, heavy swells and gale-force winds of .
As the storm made its passage, waves as high as combined with a king tide swept through the atoll’s low-lying land, causing catastrophic flooding.
Due to the atoll’s low-lying geography, lots of crops such as banana trees were uprooted and swept away by the storm.
Additionally, during the storm, Tuvalu’s Nukulaelae atoll received significant damage from the storm’s outer bands when it was in its earlier stages, delivering a high storm surge which swept through the entire atoll, causing flooding.
On January 16, the Tonga Meteorological Service activated its Fua'amotu Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre and issued a tropical cyclone alert for the whole of Tonga for Tino.
The warnings were spatially extensive due to the large convergence zone associated with the cyclone, in addition to the cyclone itself.
International flights were cancelled or delayed between January 17–18, affecting Air New Zealand flights connecting with Auckland and Air Fiji flights connecting with Nadi.
Tino passed through the Tonga archipelago on January 18 as a Category 3 Severe Tropical Cyclone, threatening islands still recovering from Cyclone Gita in 2018.
Although Tino was forecast to make a direct hit on Tongatapu, the country’s main island, the storm’s eye passed just north of the island, with no more than just light showers affecting the island as much of the intense wind and rain were located in the northern section of the storm.
Still, the rough surf produced by the passing storm resulted in the second largest swell along the northwestern coast of Tongatapu in 25 years.
In the storm's aftermath, Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape promised US$860,000 in relief aid for nearby countries affected by Tino, including Tonga.
During January 12, as Tino's precursor tropical disturbance developed near the Solomon Islands, the Solomon Islands Meteorological Service issued strong wind warnings for eastern provinces and a heavy rain warning for all provinces.
Over the next few days, the system produced heavy rain, in various parts of the two island nations as it gradually developed further.
Tino prompted the issuance of a pre-cyclone alert and later a level 1 cyclone alert for the French overseas department of Wallis and Futuna; this would remain in effect between January 17–20.
The archipelago suffered from torrential rainfall and storm surge as the storm passed nearby, with Futuna being affected not too long before Wallis; Wallis was the most heavily affected.
Although the cyclone was not forecast to strike Samoa directly, a convergence zone connected with Tino was expected to impact the archipelago with heavy rainfall, exacerbating an ongoing period of rains and prompting the issuance of a Heavy Rain Warning by the Samoa Meteorological Service on January 18.
The convergence zone and Tino's outer rainbands brought squally conditions to the Samoan Islands between January 18–19 as the cyclone passed to the south.
A peak wind of was measured at the National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office in Pago Pago, American Samoa on January 17.
In the Manu'a island group of American Samoa, rough surf forced a sheltered ferry in Ofu into a dock, damaging both the ship and the dock.

Waves also crashed on to cliff tops between high, while coastal areas on the eastern side of the island suffered damage to sea tracks and temporary huts.
A fresh hydronics farm situated on the island also sustained damage to its facility which housed vegetables, which it warned would drastically cut vegetable production.
The system posed no direct threat to the Cook Islands as it moved to the south of Niue, however, it was noted that Tino and its associated convergence zone would have an impact on the island nation.
In particular, it was noted that the system would produce a storm surge, high seas, squally thunderstorms, heavy rain and strong winds of between on the islands of Rarotonga, Aitutaki, Mangaia and Palmerston.
As a result, authorities urged residents to take precautionary measures, stay away from the beach and to be cautious of high tides, while they set up the national auditorium as an emergency evacuation centre.

The painting portrays Renoir's 21-year-old model and lover, Lise Tréhot, who featured in over twenty of his paintings during the years 1866 to 1872.
Unusually, the painting is a combination of a classical depiction of a naiad or river nymph reclining by a stream and the recognisable portrait of an actual person.
A student was injured in an accidental shooting at Conalep 106, in Azcapotzalco, Mexico City, in March 2017, and there have been at least six since.
At 8:00 a.m. on January 10, 2020, a student of the Colegio Miguel de Cervantes arrived at the institution with two weapons in his backpack, an automatic .40 caliber and another .22 caliber, both owned by his grandfather.
Media outlets stated that the student attacked dressed in white T-shirt, suspenders and black pants, clothes similar to those worn by Eric Harris, one of the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre in 1999.
López Obrador's wife Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller also lamented the shooting and stated that the review of backpacks and childhood behavior should start at home.
The Governor of Coahuila Miguel Ángel Riquelme Solís said that after the shooting the Safe Backpack program would be mandatory in all private schools in the state.
The Secretary of the Interior Olga Sánchez Cordero called on the social networks Facebook and Twitter to remove the images of the shooting that circulated in them.
Once Governor Miguel Riquelme Solís's theory that the 11-year-old had committed the shooting because of a video game was rejected, investigators looked at the shooter's background and environment.
The boy's mother died in an operation a few years ago and his 37-year-old father was not present, so the child lived with paternal grandparents.

Due to the fact that Croatian Glagolitic is used for the Croatian recension of the Old Bulgarian language, some of the letters of the original Glagolitic are abandoned (Yer, Yus, Yery) and a new letter for it is Short I.
After Glagoliticism became the main script in Croatia in the 11th and 12th centuries, it experienced a boom in the 13th century due to favorable church and political factors.
The intensified literary activity in Croatia in the 13th century led to the formation of a special type of Glagolitic writing – a Uncial (statutory) Glagolitic script.
With the proliferation of the Gutenberg press gradually in the 16th century in printed Croatian books, the Glagolitic alphabet was replaced by the Latin alphabet.
This font is original Croatian, while the alphabet itself was created in Polychron and refined at the Preslav Literary School, most probably in the Ravna Monastery.
It is located on an irregular plot of land bounded by 115th and 116th Avenues to the north, 175th Street to the west, Merrick Boulevard to the southwest, Baisley Boulevard to the southeast, and the St. Albans Community Living Center to the east.
Because of the city's financial shortfalls, caused by the 1975 New York City fiscal crisis, the land was leased to the Southern Queens Park Association, which originally maintained the park.
Roy Wilkins Park was named for civil rights activist Roy Wilkins in 1982, and the recreational center opened on the site in 1986.
Its largest feature is an Olympic-size swimming pool, but the center also houses other programs and events, including a daytime summer camp, after-school activities, and counseling.
It is occupied by the Black Spectrum Theatre Company, which was founded in 1970 and is the largest African American theater company in Queens.
An African-American Hall of Fame is located outside the family center, and contains medallions of such figures as Ralph Bunche, a diplomat, and Shirley Chisholm, the first black female United States Representative.
Close to the southern corner of Roy Wilkins Park are two baseball fields, two tennis/handball courts, two basketball courts, and play equipment.
An additional six tennis/handball courts, four batting cages, four basketball courts, more play equipment, and restrooms are located on the eastern border of the park, directly to the north and facing Baisley Boulevard.
The northern part of Roy Wilkins Park, facing 175th Street to the west and 115th Avenue to the north, contains additional parking as well as two baseball fields.
A vegetable garden is also located within the park, and is among New York City's largest community gardens, with 400 plots.
The land was seized for the construction of St. Albans Naval Hospital in 1942, and the hospital started operating the next year.
After the Vietnam War, St. Albans Naval Hospital saw gradual personnel cuts, and it was ordered to be closed in 1973.
The United States Department of Agriculture wanted to use the site as a regional quarantine center, having searched for possible locations since 1964.
In 1974, it was announced that part of the hospital, comprising of the hospital's total, would be turned over to the General Services Administration and become a United States Department of Veterans Affairs facility.
At the time, all naval hospital patients had been relocated to other facilities, and the barracks were set to be demolished.
The Southern Queens Park Association (SQPA), composed of twelve community groups, was involved with the initial creation of the park, which was mainly the idea of the association's executive director Solomon Goodrich.
The association's chairman, former New York City deputy mayor Paul Gibson, made an agreement for the association to lease the land from the city, as long as the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation funded improvements.
Donald Manes, the Queens borough president, wrote a letter to the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, advocating the construction of a park on the remaining portion of the St. Albans Naval Hospital site.
However, the 1975 New York City fiscal crisis meant that the city's government did not have funds to redevelop the property.
The New York Youth Board provided a $200,000 grant to clean up the park, which had been vandalized while the land had been in disputed during the previous four years, while another $400,000 was provided in community development funds.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers started clearing the unused barracks, and volunteers began cleaning up the park, though there was limited funding available to renovate the recreational facilities.
A flower and vegetable garden operated by senior citizens was established in the Southern Queens Park in 1980, and a jobs program for youth was also started.
The city started contributing funds once its fiscal crisis was resolved, and in 1980, entered into a public–private partnership with the SQPA to maintain the Southern Queens Park.
On June 29, 1982, the park was renamed after NAACP leader Roy Wilkins, a longtime Queens resident who had died the previous year.
Starting in the mid-1980s, the city spent $5 million on converting one of St. Albans Naval Hospital's buildings into the Roy Wilkins Family Center.
At the time, a further $12 to $15 million program of improvements in the park was delayed to the city's early-1990s fiscal crisis.
In 1988, Queens borough president Claire Shulman announced that the African American Hall of Fame would be founded at Roy Wilkins Park.
The first inductee was Wilkins, who was named to the Hall of Fame in 1989, followed by diplomat Ralph Bunche the next year.
By the early 1990s, Goodrich hoped to build a structure for the Hall of Fame, which might possible contain memorabilia of such prominent African-American residents of Queens, such as Louis Armstrong, Malcolm X, and Jackie Robinson.
In 1999, the U.S. Representative for the area, Gregory Meeks, requested $5 million for a Hall of Fame building, which he said would be the only one of its kind in the United States.
This request was made following president Bill Clinton's signing of the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Act the previous year.
According to the SPQA's website, the Hall of Fame building was not erected because funding priorities had shifted after the September 11 attacks in 2001.
By the early 1990s, Goodrich said that the park was a boon for South Jamaica, which at the time was majority-black and primarily lower-class.
The SQPA continued to make major renovations to the park, including adding baseball fields, soccer/football fields, tennis courts, and a gym.
Despite a radiothon that raised $40,000 for the park, security and maintenance funds were halved, and the park's free summer program for kids started charging $100 per child.
NYC Parks released a plan in 2017 to restore the stage for $450,000, as part of a participatory-budgeting process wherein residents voted on projects that needed the most funding.
Over the years, Roy Wilkins Park has held numerous events such as concerts; by 1999, the park's programs were drawing 100,000 visitors per year.
Festivals have included the Groovin in the Park Festival, an annual event with reggae and R&B music, as well as Jamaican Jerk Festival, a Caribbean cuisine and culture event.
Alvin Henry, an Olympic sprinter from Trinidad and Tobago, was accused in 2007 of at least two rapes in Roy Wilkins Park.

Bunkō (ぶん公, 1914 – February 3, 1938) was a Japanese mixed breed dog, famous for becoming the mascot of the Otaru city fire department.
He was saved as a puppy after being found crying in burnt-down ruins after a fire and lived in the Otaru fire station for most of his life, being looked after by the firefighters.
Bunkō would ride along with the firefighters during their dispatches, finding his role in helping to control the onlookers and in disentangling hoses.
To commemorate his achievements, a statue was unveiled in 2006, and picture books and other material for children have been written about his life and specific events within it.
Otaru has a long history as a port-town, and so during the Meiji period of the late 19th century it saw tremendous expansion as it became a focal point for the shipping of coal mined in Hokkaido to mainland Japan, and the unloading of supplies and personnel needed for the expansion into the interior of Hokkaido.
However, construction could not keep up with the demand for new houses, and there was an increase in wooden houses that could be built quickly.
This resulted in Otaru being highly susceptible to fires, with large conflagrations that would result in the majority of the city being impacted occurring with a frequency of once every 2 to 3 years.
Bunkō’s arrival as a public figure in Otaru came at a time when the city, having learned its lesson from the great fires, was in the process of trying to implement measures to safeguard the city, with stone houses being built and the establishment of a proper fire service.
In the spring of 1914, the fire service responded to a report of a fire and, after extinguishing the blaze, they found a crying puppy in the burnt-out ruins.
With no one claiming the puppy as their own, the firefighters took him back to the station to raise him there.
The puppy was a mixed-breed male with white fur and brown spots, who came to be known as Bunkō among the firefighters.
Bunkō was particularly attached to the head of the 5 fire division, a man called Kamiyama, who had been the one to save him originally.
He was well loved by the other firefighters, who all shared bits of their lunch with him to keep him fed.
Even after Kamiyama retired and left the fire service, Bunkō continued to live in the fire department, using a fire truck as his doghouse.
He was known to reply during the fire department’s morning roll call, barking after all the other firefighters’ numbers had been called out.
He was also able to distinguish between the sound of the telephone bell and the fire-alert bell, and in the case of a fire he would howl to alert the others that it was time for dispatch.
During the dispatch he would ride along on the side-step of the Chevrolet fire truck, never once falling off in all his dispatches.
At the scene of a fire, he would first grab the nozzle of the hose with his mouth and bring it to the person in charge of using it, and if the hose was to become tangled during the process of fighting the fire he would untangle that part so that the water could flow more easily.
In addition, he was particularly adept at crowd-control, and would patrol the cordon during a fire to keep back on lookers, barking at them to stop them coming too close to the fire.
It has also been said that Bunkō was able to take himself to the hospital to get treated if he was sick.
Bunkō’s feats were heard beyond the local area in Otaru, with newspapers and magazines carrying his story across Hokkaido and the rest of Japan.
During this same period the dog Hachikō had also become famous in Tokyo, and so he came to be called Otaru’s Hachikō by some.
Eventually, his age began to take its toll, and with his weakened legs and missing teeth making it impossible to grip a hose or move around to help out at the scene, he became more and more inactive.
It has been said that even in his weakened state, when he heard the alarm to signal a fire, he would stagger over to try to board the fire truck, moving those around to tears.
Bunkō passed away at noon on the 3 of February 1938, while being looked after by the members of the fire department.
The Buddhist priest of the local Ryūtokuji Temple was invited to read from scripture, and many mourners came to hear the ceremony and pay their respects.
To continue to spread the story of Bunkō’s achievements he was stuffed and preserved, being displayed for a time in the fire service’s main headquarters.
Afterwards, he was kept by Otaru Museum being displayed at the Otaru Museum and Otaru Canal Museum, with many fans coming from across Japan to see Bunkō’s taxidermy at the museum since the beginning of the 2010s.Bunkō’s memory has been long lasting, and picture books and other children’s literature has introduced his exploits.
The plan gained many supporters, and on the July 21 of the same year the statue was unveiled for the first time.
The bronze statue, at the Otaru City Tourist Information Center (Canal Plaza), depicts Bunkō sitting on a pedestal as he looks towards the warehouses running all the canal.
The pedestal’s height was decided on the basis that it should be the right height for children to come and touch the statue and take commemorative pictures with Bunkō.
On the plated photograph attached to the statue Bunkō is shown as he was at that time, riding on the sidestep of the Chevrolet fire truck.
The statue has been well regarded, and occasionally hand-knitted hats and scarfs, or caramel sweets are left as offerings at the statue.
And during the Christmas period the statue is dressed in a Santa Claus outfit, and many tourists come to take pictures with the statue.

Citizens Within A State (Arabic: مواطنون ومواطنات في دولة, Mouwatinoun wa mouwatinat fi dawla or MMFD for short) is a Lebanese political party.
It was in his book published in 1999, that the Citizens within a State movement's founder Dr. Charbel Nahas discussed Lebanon's conflicts and financial problems.
The book is the first political and economic analysis of Lebanon's crisis and suggests a progressive system whose priority is to improve the living conditions for the country's citizens.
The party blames the government for abandoning its citizens to religious and public institutions and special economic commissions that are playing the roles of the public institutions and are free from control, accountability and monitoring .
According to Nahas, the laws issued after 1994 were a series of mistakes that led to the current corruption and made for the benefit of the political class and its cronies.
In 2014, the party's founder stated that the whole political system needs to be changed and the Taif Agreement was not a real reform.
Therefore the party took it upon itself to carry a greater responsibility than others and represent the whole lebanese society without discrimination and to formulate a societal project that will contribute to saving the societies of the region and not only the lebanese society.
The party stands on the point that sects cannot form a nation and that the political regime with its current formula is incapable of surviving economic and social hardships such as the 2019 financial crisis.
That can only be reached, according to the movement, through identifying the regime’s contradictions, anticipating these contradictions, and building the necessary knowledge and power to handle them.
Silver Landings is the upcoming seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Mandy Moore, set to be released on March 6, 2020, via Verve Forecast Records.

An eclipsing binary, its apparent magnitude has a maximum of 9.10, dimming to 9.66 during primary eclipse and 9.61 during secondary eclipse.
V752 Centauri is a contact binary of the W Ursae Majoris type, composed of two F-type stars with a combined spectral type of F7/G0(V).
With effective temperatures of 5,955 and 6,221 K, the system is classified as a W Ursae Majoris variable of subtype W, where the secondary star is hotter than the primary; for this reason, the primary eclipses are caused by the occultation of the secondary star.
The primary component has a mass of 1.31 times the solar mass, radius of 1.30 times the solar radius and a luminosity double that of the Sun.
It is estimated that the secondary star was initially the more massive star, with 1.76 times the solar mass, while the primary had an initial mass of 0.84 time the solar mass.
This third star is itself a spectroscopic binary with a period of 5.147 days, with a small companion that is probably an M-type red dwarf.
Most contact binary stars have one or more distant companions, and were possibly formed by angular momentum loss due to gravitational interactions with these companion stars.
The light curve analysis of V752 Centauri reveals that between 1970 and 2000, the orbital period of the eclipsing binary remained approximately constant, indicating there was no significant mass transfer.
Since then, the period has been increasing at a rate of 0.044 seconds per year, which is caused by mass transfer from the less massive star to the more massive one at a rate of 2.52  per year.
This period change and the beginning of the mass transfer phase were possibly caused by interactions with the companion binary star.

St Mary's was built to replace an earlier place of worship which dated to the 15th century and was made up of a nave, chancel and north porch.
It was sited in an inconvenient location for many of the inhabitants and had become too small to serve the congregation as the parish's population increased.
Plans were made to build a new church at a more central location, approximately half a mile from the old building.
The requirement was for the chapel to accommodate 350 people and the cost of construction to be no more than £700.
The plans for the church were drawn up by Mr. Edmund Pearce of Canford Magna and it was built by Mr. Elias Dawe of South Perrott.
The opening and consecration of the church was carried out on 27 September 1833 by the Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Right Rev.
The Bishop appeared on behalf of the Bishop of Bristol, who was unable to attend and perform the consecration due to illness.
The church retains its original fittings, some of which were transferred from the old chapel, including the font, which has an octagonal bowl and a cylindrical pedestal.
In 1975, a stained glass window was installed in the east window, which depicts the farming background of many of the local community and includes a combine harvester and a tractor.

Two petals that are usually pointing upwards are long and wide, consisting of a teardrop-shaped part (or plate) at the top with darker markings, and a narrow basal part (or claw) with side extensions (or ears).
Each flower has 2 long, 2 medium and 1 short fertile stamens topped with anthers with yellow to orange pollen (best checked in the bud), and 5 infertile, glabrous and flattened staminodes, two of which are sometimes slightly bent backwards.
The storkbill-shaped fruit eventually splits into 5 mericarps each with a capsule long containing a single seed and tail of long.
Since the structure of the flowers of all these forms is identical, they have the same number of chromosomes, the extremes in leaf shape grade into each other and the distribution is not disjunct, J.J.A.

In software engineering, blue-green deployment is an A/B testing method of installing changes to a web, app, or database server by swapping alternating production and staging servers.
For example, public requests may be routed to the blue server, making it the production server and the green server the staging server, which can only be accessed on a private network.
Changes are installed on the non-live server, which is then tested through the private network to verify the changes work as expected.
This rollback is achieved by simply routing traffic back to the previously live server which still does not have the deployed changes.
Because requests are routed instantly from one server to the other, there is ideally no period where requests will be unfulfilled.

She was the first woman licensed to practice architecture in Virginia, although other female architects such as Ethel Furman had previously been active in the state.
She received a bachelor's degree in mathematics at Randolph-Macon Women's College in 1929, and expressed a desire to study architecture at the University of Virginia, as had her brother.
As women were denied entry into the University's graduate programs, at the time, she applied instead to the School of Architecture at Cornell University, from which she graduated in 1933.
Returning to Portsmouth, she took a position with the firm of Rudolph, Cooke, and Van Leeuwen in Norfolk; unsalaried for two years, she nevertheless gained a great deal of experience, working on a team that designed numerous civic buildings including the city's federal courthouse.
In 1935 she was one of three out of a class of five to pass the licensing exam offered by the Virginia Examining Board, following which she opened a practice of her own in the city of her birth.
The birth of her first child led her to restrict her work to residential and ecclesiastical projects; even so she kept her license until 1990, and was developing architectural drawings until after she turned 80.

It would have sought to avoid the re-election of Juan Guaidó on 5 January 2020 as President of the Assembly, by obtaining the support of opposing legislators in exchange for millions of dollars.
Legislators would have been asked to vote against Guaidó, or to not attend the election and thereby break the necessary quorum.
On 1 December, the website Armando.info published an investigation reporting that nine parliamentaries mediated in favor of two businessmen linked with the government.
According to her, the government resorted to this method after failing to incarcerate or suspend the parliamentary immunity of the deputies, denouncing a considerable increase of political persecution as the 5 January National Assembly Delegated Committee election approached, explaining that security forces had gone to the houses of many deputies without alternates, and, according to Solórzano, bribed the one deputy with an alternate.
Venezuelan lawmakers and the US State Department said that opposition deputies, in parties led or allied with Guaidó, were being offered up to US$1 million to not vote for him.
Deputies Ismael León and Luis Stefanelli directly accused Parra in December 2019 of attempting to bribe deputies to vote against Guaidó.
On December 20, the National Assembly indicated that the legislators involved were the principal deputies José Gregorio Noriega, Luis Parra, José Brito, Adolfo Superlano and Conrado Pérez, and the deputies Leandro Domínguez and Jesús Gabriel Peña, a former member of Democratic Action.
Deputy Arkiely Perfect was expelled from Democracy and Inclusion Movement for allegedly receiving bribes, as denounced by party head Nicmer Evans.
Other deputies implicated in bribery are José Antonio España and José Gregorio Aparicio, both members of the parliamentary section of Superlano, and Domínguez, an independent for Renewal and Change.
A partial reform of the Rules of Interior and Debates of the National Assembly had been approved on 17 December but was annulled by the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ).
On 3 January 2020, Nicmer Evans, a Caracas-based analyst, alleged that Maduro had managed to cause 14 deputies to not cast a vote for Guaidó through these tactics.
Adolfo Superlano rejected the accusations, stating that they were being accused for saying that they were not going to re-elect Guaidó.
In a press conference held on 20 December, José Gregorio Noriega rejected the expulsion of his Popular Will party, stating that the allegations of corruption against him are false and criticizing the behavior of other party members.
Through a press release, Popular Will said that Noriega was excpelled from their ranks for refusing to respond to allegations of corruption.
Those sanctioned have had their US assets frozen and have been banned from doing business with US financial markets and US citizens.
The list includes the members of Parra's appointed board of directors and his supporters: Franklyn Duarte, José Gregorio Noriega, Negal Morales, José Brito, Conrado Pérez and Adolfo Superlano, and Luis Parra himself.
After the correspondent of the digital outlet Crónica Uno Mónica Salazar did a public denouncement, on 30 January the National Journalists Association confirmed bribe attempts to journalists with large sums of money to publicly express support to Parra and his directive board.

Gunner F. J. Mears (1890-1929) was a British soldier of World War I, and subsequently a successful artist, painting war scenes, before his early death.
He saw action at the Somme and the Ypres Salient, and was medically discharged in 1917, after being subjected to a poison gas attack.
With the encouragement of his wife, and despite having no formal art training, he painted a number of scenes of battlefields at night, featuring silhouetted soldiers.
That picture was advertised for sale in the window of a shop on Piccadilly and was bought by Dame Katharine Furse, who had led the British Red Cross' Voluntary Aid Detachment force during the war.
In May 1920 an exhibition of his work, at the George C. Clackner Gallery at 20, Old Bond Street, London, included 30 paintings.
Their buyers included Lieutenant General Hubert Gough, who had commanded the British Fifth Army from 1916 to 1918, Major-General John Ponsonby (Gough's successor), the American actress and singer Elsie Janis, John Wodehouse, 3rd Earl of Kimberley, Gwendolen Fitzalan-Howard, Duchess of Norfolk, and Nancy, Lady Astor.
Mears died in 1929, at the age of 38 or 39, due to the effects of the gas he had inhaled during the war.
Mears' works are in public collections, including several at the Imperial War Museums, and eight in the World War History & Art Museum (formerly of Alliance, Ohio and now a touring collection).

It was from 1923 operated under the name Kongens Bryghus and the site was decommissioned when De Forenede Bryggerier was acquired by Carlsberg Group in 1969.
The buildings—a group of red brick buildings from 1860-61 by Jens Eckersberg and a tall, round silo from 1857 designed by Tyge Hvass—have now been converted into apartments.
The brewery was established in 1860 by Peter August Vogelius with Jørgen Christian Hauberg as a silent partner under the name A. Vogelius 's Bryggeri (A. Vogelius 's brewery).
He had worked for six years at Carlsberg Brewery and most recently from 1857 leased Jacobsen's small beer brewery at Brolæggerstræde 5 but the buildings were too small and outdated to compete with Rabeshave and Tvedes Bryggeri which had opened outside the city.
Vogelius remained one of the owners but the day-to-day management was left in the hands of a brewer from Svanholm Brewery.
He was succeeded by William Haurowitz, who came from a position as managing director of the largest brewery in Trondheim, Norway.
The other breweries were Kongens Bryghus and Marstrands Bryggerier, Tvedes Bryggeri on Vesterbrogade, Alliance in Valby, Bryggeriet Kastrup on Amager and the three Frederiksberg breweries Svanholm, Ny Bryghus and Frederiksberg Bryggeri.
Rahbeks Allé and Kroneølbryggeriet was from 1923 operated under the name Kongens Brughus but was still part of De Forenede Bryggerier.
He was a prebendary of Waterford Cathedral from 1663 to 1678; and Dean of Waterford from 1678 to 1684: he was also Vicar general of the Diocese.

Insomnia Gaming Festival (commonly referenced to as simply Insomnia) is a British gaming festival that is held twice a year, in April and August, in the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham.
Insomnia was originally located at the Newbury Racecourse from Insomnia5 to Insomnia33, then moved to Stoneleigh Park for Insomnia34, followed by a move back to the racecourse.
The event then moved to the Telford International Centre for the 43rd-50th events, and then went to the Ricoh Arena for Insomnia51-Insomnia55.
The main exhibition at Insomnia usually consists of various PC/gaming console hardware manufacturers, and game developers who are eager for consumers to try their games.
The exhibition usually also features a marketplace, where sellers of various video game and geek-culture related memorabilia can hire a space to sell their goods.
Each Insomnia event typically also consists of a BYOC (Bring Your Own Computer/Console) hall, where around 2,500 gamers pay for an allotted desk space, a power socket and Ethernet connection to the LAN (local area network), which is where the short name LAN comes from.
She began competing in ice dance during the 2012–13 season, skating in domestic Russian events with her first partner, Ivan Desyatov.

In the 2017–18 season Persidis moved to Ethnikos Piraeus, leading his team to the 2nd division playoffs, while appearing in 32 games and averaging 5.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in 18 minutes per game.
The following season Persidis played for Diagoras Dryopideon, appearing in 29 games and averaging 6.2 point and 4 rebounds in 16.5 minutes per game.
Those numbers weren't left unnoticed from Panathinaikos staff, and eventually Persidis joined the Greens in the summer of 2019 as an ancillary player alongside Kostas Papadakis.
It was the eighth time that the country had taken part in the games and expectations were high for the competitors as they were playing on home soil.
2003 was the second time that Nigeria hosted the games, as the 1973 All-Africa Games had been held in Lagos thirty years before.
The team left with a total of 240 medals, of which 85 were gold medals and 90 silver, a tally that remained unmatched until 2019.
Amongst the games records that were broken were a time of 9.95 for Deji Aliu in the 100 metres and a put of by Vivian Chukwuemeka.
Mary Onyali-Omagbemi, whose medal tally before the games included gold at the 1994 Commonwealth Games and multiple honours at previous Africa Games, added to her total in the 100 and 200 metres, as well as participating in the 4×100 m relay team that broke the game record with a time of 43.04.
Nigeria won 240 medals in total, substantially more than in previous years and more than the total in the previous two competitions combined.

Tadellöser & Wolff is a two-part television film from 1975, which was produced for the German public-service TV-broadcaster ZDF in Sepia.
The film begins like a documentary: Ernst Jacobi in the role of Walter Kempowski introduces the viewer to the action with family photos and pictures from Rostock.
The film portrays the life of the middle-class family Kempowski in Rostock from 1939 to 1945 in close detail to the novel.
In addition to describing the special events in the life of Walter and in the family, there are always depictions of everyday life, such as walks with the father through Rostock, in school and youth group, with friends and swing music, with eating together and Christmas celebrations with the family, going to church or going to the cinema.
This is followed by a description of the situation in the new apartment and the events in the family, during a meal together, during a visit to the grandfather and at a scene with the neighbor's daughter.
Considering the estate, considerable debts are found, which now have to be repaid, so the family cannot move into the grandfather's villa, but rents it out.
With the end of the bombings the apartment building is only slightly damaged, but some bombs have hit in the street.
Brother Robert, who was on the road as a responder in the city, tells his family about the reports on the considerable destruction in Rostock he had to make, that the Selters-water-factory in the neighborhood burns down.
The Dane Sven Sörensen, an employee in the father's office, was arrested by the Gestapo for tracing successful bombings on a city map.
He was released shortly afterwards and moved into the Kempowski family's apartment because his own apartment was destroyed by the bombing.
When Father Karl, who is a first lieutenant in the Wehrmacht comes home during vacation from the front, there are tensions in the family at first, which eventually calm down.
Since Walter's achievements in school have deteriorated considerably, it is decided that he has to go to the very strict Anna Kröger, called Aunt Anna, to tutor.
The family members remaining in Rostock are sad on the one hand about the farewell, but on the other hand also happy because Ulla is now in a safe place.
This estate on Plauer See belongs to the family of Ferdinand von Germitz, whom he knew from tutoring at Anna Kröger.
He works as a courier, and in mid-April 1945 on an assignment in Berlin, he realizes that the Russians (Red Army Soldiers) must have come very close to the city.
He looks for a way out of the city and then manages to find a train to Rostock in Nauen (Brandenburg), with which he arrives in Rostock on April 25, 1945.
The film ends with the scene on the May 1, 1945 (the day of the end of world war 2), where Walter sits on the balcony with his mother and grandfather to see Russian soldiers for the first time, as they march into their street in Rostock.
The entire film was not shot in color, but Fechner deliberately chose sepia as a stylistic device to give the film more authenticity.
In the course of the film, the jazz classic Georgia on My Mind by Hoagy Carmichael is played in several scenes.
Ann Cary Randolph Morris (1774–1837), whose nickname was Nancy, was the daughter of Thomas Mann Randolph Sr. and the wife of Gouverneur Morris.
After a difficult young adulthood, she had a life of some stability and social prominence after she married Gouverneur Morris, who died in 1816.
At about 19 years of age, Ann went to live with her sister Judith and her husband Richard Randolph near Farmville, Virginia at the Bizarre plantation, an Antebellum tobacco plantation.
Richard studied at Princeton, but did not have a solid direction or plan for his life and it was at this time that the tobacco economy was collapsing.
Ann and Richard were said to be too fond of one another, and in the summer of 1792, she began gaining weight.
Judith, Richard, and Ann traveled to the Glentivar or Glenlyvar estate 30 miles northeast of Farmville to visit Randolph Harrison, a cousin, and his wife Mary on October 1, 1792.
Richard Randolph was in Ann's dark room and would not allow a candle to be brought into the room, but Mary Harrison was able to sit with Ann for a few minutes.
The next day, there was blood on Ann's pillowcases and on the stairs, her bedding had been removed from her bed, and Ann remained in her room.
The Harrisons were then told that the corpse of a baby was found in a pile of old shingles by the plantation's enslaved people.
During the trial, Martha Jefferson Randolph stated that she had obtained gum guaicum, which she believed could be used to abort a baby, and provided it to Ann two weeks before the trip to Glentivar.
Enslaved people were precluded from testifying by Virginia law, so the evidence about the baby being found within a stack of shingles was not heard.
John Randolph of Roanoke, Richard's brother, thought that Ann had poisoned Richard and Judith was angry about the scandal and loss of her husband.
She then lived at a number of places: with friends; at Monticello with her cousin and now sister-in-law, Martha Jefferson Randolph, and her brother Thomas Mann Randolph Jr.; in Richmond; Rhode Island; and Connecticut.
She had very limited means, at times receiving small sums of monies from her brothers, and she may have taught school in Rhode Island.
Ann lived at a boarding house in New York in October 1808 when she received a visit from Gouverneur Morris, who she met when he visited Tuckahoe Plantation about 1788.
Morris was a senator for New York, a delegate to both the Continental Congress and the Constitutional Convention, and an ambassador to France under President Washington.
A surprise to Morrisania guests, they were married on Christmas Day, 1809, with Ann dressed in the worn dress she wore as housekeeper as her wedding dress.
The couple went to the White House in December 1811, where they met with President James Madison and Dolley Madison and they were engaged in activities with political and diplomatic figures.
In the hope that a change in climate would help him improve his health, Tudor traveled to England, but died there in August 1815.
The animus towards her extended to Morris relatives who were no longer heirs to her husband's estate after their marriage and the birth of their son.
Jack Rodney Laundon (28 July 1934 – 31 December 2016) was a British lichenologist and became President of the British Lichen Society.
He was educated at Park Road School, Kettering Central School and Kettering Grammar School, and then worked at the British Museum (Natural History) from 1952 - 1990, mainly in the lichen section.
He was interested in lichen from his teens, and developed his interests in lichen ecology and taxonomy as well as the specimen curation and identification required by his post.
He helped establish the use of chemotaxonomy for lichens at the Museum and was active in verifying specimens sent to the Museum.
In 1956 he published a survey of the lichens of Northamptonshire, and was the first to apply the Scandinavian method of lichen communities to the UK.
His surveys of the lichens of London in the late 1960s were the first to map species distributions relative to atmospheric sulphur dioxide levels.
He was elected as Honorary member of the Society in 1988, and received the Ursula Duncan Award in recognition of his services to the British Lichen Society in 2007.
He was required to retire in 1990 as part of restructuring at the Museum as it moved away from taxonomy, but he continued to be very active with lichens and Northamptonshire local history, including authoring several publication, until mid-December 2016, shortly before his death.

A Republican, he was most notable for his service as a member of the Vermont Senate from Orange County (1894-1896), a member of the Vermont House of Representatives from Newbury (1902-1904), and the United States Marshal for the District of Vermont from 1903 until his death.
Horace Ward Bailey was born in Newbury, Vermont on January 16, 1852, a son of William U. Bailey and Abigail (Eaton) Bailey.
Bailey became a manager at Lindsey hotels; besides the Fabyan House, he worked at resorts in Lancaster, New Hampshire, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, and Eastman, Georgia.
Bailey was the executor of Lindsey's estate, which led to a later career settling estates in northern Vermont and northern New Hampshire.
In addition to serving as town clerk, Bailey served in other local offices, including lister, town school board member, town school superintendent, and member of the county school board.
Bailey served in the Vermont Senate from 1894 to 1896, and was a member of the committees on education, railroads, and the state prison, as well as a joint committee that examined unexpected spending increases on the prison.
As a Fish and Game commissioner, Bailey was credited with management improvements at the state fish hatchery, and was also selected to oversee construction of a dam at the outlet of Lake Morey in Fairlee.
During his tenure in the House, Bailey was chairman of the committee on railroads, as well as the committee that oversaw Vermont's participation in the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
From 1906 to 1910, Bailey was a member of the Lake Champlain Tercentenary Commission, which planned celebrations to commemorate Samuel de Champlain's discovery of the lake in 1609.
He was an author on Vermont topics, including histories of Lake Champlain, Newbury Seminary and Newbury Methodist Church, and served as a vice president of the Vermont Historical Society.
He was also a longtime member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias, served on the board of directors of St. Johnsbury's Citizens Savings Bank and Trust, and was a trustee of the Bradford Savings Bank.
This collection was covered in newspapers nationwide in 1904, after Bailey received a carved bamboo cane from a friend in the U.S. Army who had recently returned from a trip to Japan.
According to contemporary press accounts, Bailey's collection included a lignum vitae cane from the Philippines which was a gift from Mason S. Stone, and one made of pine recovered from the floor of the Confederacy's Civil War-era Libby Prison.
During his lifetime, Bailey amassed a vast collection of works related to the history of Vermont, including many rare books, pamphlets, town histories, and railroad annual reports.
His pamphlet collection of more than 900 items was purchased intact by Middlebury College, which maintains Bailey's Vermont Pamphlet Archive as part of its library's Special Collections.
In 1904, Bailey purchased Newbury's old schoolhouse, which had been constructed in 1839, as a repository for his private library of works on the history of Vermont.
The building was purchased by the town in 1969 for use as the town clerk's office, and was partially destroyed during a 1973 tornado.
It was later restored, and is now the Horace W. Bailey Club, a meeting facility for several different organizations and civic groups.
The Bailey Club is part of the Newbury Village Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
The European Strategy for Particle Physics is a prioritisation of European ambitions to advance particle physics science for the long-term future and is the cornerstone of Europe’s decision-making process in the field.
The opinions of physicists from around the world are actively solicited and the European Strategy is developed in close coordination with similar processes in the US and Japan in order to ensure coordination and optimal use of resources globally.
The European Strategy takes into account the worldwide particle physics landscape and developments in related fields, and was initiated by the CERN Council to coordinate activities across a large, international and fast-moving community with the aim to maximise scientific returns.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was cited as the top scientific priority of European particle physics with a discussion of a possible significant luminosity upgrade.
Other priorities included research and development of future accelerators, coordination with a potential International Linear Collider, and participation in a global neutrino program.
An update to the original European Strategy was prepared in 2012 and formally adopted in 2013 following the discovery of the Higgs boson.

Floyd Alonzo McClure (14 August 1897, Shelby County, Ohio – 15 April 1970, Bethesda, Maryland) was an American botanist and plant collector.
At Canton Christian College in Guangzhou, China, he was an instructor in horticulture from 1919 to 1923, an assistant professor of botany from 1923 to 1927, and curator of the herbarium from 1923 to 1927.
At Lingnan University, McClure was an assistant professor from 1927 to 1928, an associate professor from 1928 to 1931, a full professor from 1931 to 1941, and the curator of economic botany from 1927 to 1941.
During his time in China he went on three leaves of absence: on the first leave he married in 1922 his fiancée of seven years, on the second leave he received in 1928 his M.Sc.
His bamboo research in China was supported by grants from the China Foundation for the Promotion of Education and Culture in 1929, from the Rockefeller Foundation in 1930 and 1934, and from the National Research Council in 1936.
He published articles in journals sponsored by Lingnan University, as well as in The Ohio Journal of Science, The Scientific Monthly, Kew Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information, Blumea, and Journal of the Arnold Arboretum.
In 1943 the Office of Scientific Research and Development recruited McClure to do research on bamboo ski poles for alpine troops in the U.S. Army.
The book, dealing with bamboos in Asia and in the tropical Americas, is important for its compilation of literature on bamboos from eastern and western sources.
LEKOIL is a Cayman incorporated company, headquartered in Lagos which is focused on African oil exploration and production with interests in Nigeria and offshore Namibia.
The company was founded in 2010 by a former analyst from Alliance Bernstein and listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange in 2013.
On 13 January 2020 the company announced that it had been the victim of a fraud purporting to be a US$184m loan agreement from the Qatar Investment Authority, the sovereign wealth fund of the State of Qatar.
At the time of the disclosure, it had just appointed The Right Honourable Mark Simmonds, a former Foreign & Commonwealth Office Minister of the UK Government, as one of its non-executive directors.
Media comment at the time questioned how the Company and its professional advisers could be deceived given apparent red flags and linked it to the general criticism regarding the number of frauds associated with the AIM market.
It subsequently secure the Namibian offshore Blocks 2514 A and B located in the prospective Luderitz Basin although not considered one of the major prospective zones on the continent., and a farm out agreement with a subsidiary of Afren PLC on OPL310, an offshore Nigerian asset located in the Dahomey-Benin Basin.
In May 2013, on the basis of these assets LEKOIL listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange raising net proceeds of approximately £27 million with a market capitalisation of £73m at the placing price.
Strand Hanson Limited acted as the Nominated Advisor with Mirabaud Securities acting as Broker and Revere Securities Corp. as US Placing Agent.

Kastell Wörth was a Roman limes numerus fort located on the north-western edge of today's Wörth am Main in the German state of Bavaria.
The fort was probably part of the defenses of the Main Limes, and also, as part of the Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes, but also of the older Odenwald Limes section of the Neckar-Odenwald Limes, but this has not been definitively proven archaeologically.
The starting point of the Odenwald Limes has not to date been definitively determined; one possibility is the fortress at Obernburg (ORL 35), built between 100 and 110 AD, but this question can only be resolved by further excavations.
What is certain is that the origin of the Odenwald Limes, whose next identified fort is Kastell Seckmauern (ORL 46b), is in the region between the two nearby forts of Obernburg and Wörth.
Trennfurt Roman Fort (ORL 37), lying somewhat further along in the direction of the Main, is ruled out from consideration because it is more recent.
It appears that Wörth was garrisoned only after the fort at Obernburg, and after the earth and timber fortifications of Seckmauern were constructed, since to date no late south Gaulish Terra Sigillata appears among the finds there.
This suggests that Seckmauern, never fortified in stone and later bisected by a palisade, was quickly abandoned and replaced by Wörth.
Through ageophysical survey at the beginning of the twenty-first century it was determined that a portion of the fortifications on the south side had fallen in a heap into the moat.
Scattered evidence and inscriptions point to a possible construction in the time of Domitian, but the majority of the total scant finds date from the middle second to the early third century.
Around southeast of the Porta Principalis Dextra are the fort's baths, in the middle of a fenced orchard, of which nothing can be seen today.
Until it reaches Seckmauern there are believed to be three unidentified sentry posts, based on topography and the distance between two identified watchtowers, but they have not been proven archaelogically.
The course of the Limes itself is not completely known; at best the fosse is now a flattened depression deep and around wide.

On 27 May 1961, Tunku Abdul Rahman, the prime minister of the Federation of Malaya, announced a plan to form a greater federation together with Singapore, Sarawak, Sabah and Brunei, to be called Malaysia.
On 17 January 1962, the Cobbold Commission was formed to gauge the support of Sarawak and Sabah for the plan; the Commission reported 80 percent support for federation.
As the target date 31 August 1963 for the creation of Malaysia was fast approaching , the four parties (Singapore, Brunei, Sarawak, and Sabah) were going nowhere on their negotiations with Malaya.
Singapore prime minister Lee Kuan Yew had refused previous financial terms nearing settlement after a rift with Malayan Chinese Association (now Malaysian Chinese Association).
Sultan of Brunei was reported to questioned his precedence in the Malaysian Conference of Rulers and was apparently unsatisfied at his fourth position in the hierarchy.
There were three major political parties in Sarawak at that time: Sarawak United Peoples' Party (SUPP), Parti Negara Sarawak (PANAS), and Sarawak Alliance (Alliance).
PANAS broke away from the Alliance in April 1963 because of its dissatisfaction of alleged interference of local affairs by the Malayan Alliance Party.
Meanwhile, Alliance comprised four parties: Sarawak National Party (SNAP), Parti Pesaka Sarawak (PESAKA), Barisan Ra'ayat Jati Sarawak (BARJASA), and Sarawak Chinese Association (SCA).
SNAP was led by the party secretary, namely Stephen Kalong Ningkan, where he drawn his support from the Iban people of the second division of Sarawak (today Betong and Sri Aman Divisions).
The PESAKA party drawn its support from the Ibans of the third division of Sarawak (today Sibu, Sarikei, Mukah and Kapit Divisions).
The British colonial government installed such a system for the then politically immature Sarawak so that the legislators can have some governmental experience during their tenure in office.
The state was divided into 24 local authority areas, each headed by a district council which composed of elected members from single-member constituencies.
All the 24 districts then grouped together to form five divisions and each division was headed by a divisonal advisory council elected by the respective district councils.
Despite being elected as members of parliament, the reprsentatives would still be answerable to Council Negri, divisional councils, and district councils below them.
Of the total 429 district council seats, Sarawak Alliance won 138 seats, SUPP won 116, indepedents won 116 seats, and PANAS won 59 seats.
On the percentage of total votes, Alliance won 30.6%, independents won 29.7%, SUPP won 24.5%, and PANAS won 15.2% of the votes.
Although SUPP lost a substantial number of Chinese votes in four out of five urban centres (Kuching Municipal, Kuching Rural, Sibu Urban, Sibu Rural, and Miri), it did not prevent SUPP from winning district council seats in these areas.
Although PANAS was attacked by the Alliance for deserting the latter just before the election; PANAS was able to capture 53 out of 118 seats at the first and second divisions of Sarawak.
After the district council elections, each district council met from 1 July to 5 July 1963 in order to choose one to eight representatives into their respective divisional councils.
Although PANAS had the most number of seats in the first division, it required supoort of the three independents to form a majority in this division.
The Alliance formed a clear majority in the second division, but required the support of independents in the third division in order to form a majority.
With the announcement of SUPP-PANAS coalition on 1 July, both the parties were able to command a majority in the first division of Sarawak.
Although it was obvious that a Dayak from the principal parties (which was either SNAP or PESAKA) should become the first chief minister of Sarawak, Malaysian federal government suggested that Abdul Rahman Ya'kub (a Melanau muslim leader from BARJASA) should become the chief minister despite he was defeated in his own local ward.
However, the federal government eventually accepted a compromise that the chief minister post will be held by a Dayak from SNAP named Stephen Kalong Ningkan.
The Malaysian federal government also demanded that the both the chief minister and the governor post should not be held by the Dayaks simultaneously.
The 2020 Singapore Premier League (also known as the AIA Singapore Premier League due to sponsorship reasons) will be the 3rd season of the Singapore Premier League, the top-flight Singaporean professional league for association football clubs, since its rebranding in 2018.
Despite large criticism and discussion against the Young Lions project, the Young Lions will continue to compete till 2019 for the purposes of training and preparing for the 2019 SEA Games.
The criticism mainly focused on the poor performances every season by the largely youth team made up of Singapore Football's brightest prospects.
Season-long consecutive losses against the rest of the more mature teams inflicts serious long-term consequences on the morale of the players, considering that most of these players are in the developmental ages of their footballing career.
The new age restrictions imposed on the rest of the Singapore Premier League clubs could be seen as giving the Young Lions a better advantage in terms of seniority, but most critics and fans of Singapore football are still wanting the FAS to abolish the FAS-managed Young Lions and have them developed under the guidance of genuine local clubs.
Singapore Premier League clubs can sign a maximum of four foreign players in the 2020 season, up from three as compared to 2019.

Linda L. Tesar (born c. 1961) is a Professor of Economics and Director of Graduate studies at the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA), the liberal arts and sciences school of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
She is also a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research and the Editor-in-Chief of the IMF Economic Review.
She has been a visitor in the Research Departments of the International Monetary Fund, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
Her field of specialization is in international finance, international trade and macroeconomics, with significant research in the international transmission of business cycles and fiscal policy, the benefits of global risk-sharing, capital flows to emerging markets, the impact of exchange rate exposure, international tax competition and the challenges facing the euro area.
Her research has been published in the American Economic Review, the Journal of International Economics, the Review of Financial Studies and the Journal of Monetary Economics.
She has also served on the board of the University of Michigan’s Advance program, with the objective of improving institutional climate and supporting good practice in faculty recruitment, retention, and leadership.
She continued her education at the University of Rochester, where she received her M.A and Ph.D. in Economics in 1988 and 1990 respectively.
She joined the faculty at the University of California, Santa Barbara for 7 years before she became a professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Michigan in 1997, where she served as Department Chair from 2007 to 2011.
Together with Andrei A. Levchenko and Logan T. Lewis, Tesar explores the collapse in international trade during the most recent global recession.
During the examination of data, a 40% shortfall is revealed in quantities and prices of both domestic absorption and imports, relative to what would be predicted by a simple import demand relationship.
They find that sectors used as intermediate inputs experienced significantly higher percentage reductions in both imports and exports while exploring a sample of imports and exports disaggregated at the 6-digit NAICS level.
In contrast to the climate of opinion, they did not find support for the hypothesis that trade credit played a role in the recent trade collapse.
This paper studies the economically large and statistically significant increase in acquiring firm's stock price when a developed country multinational firm acquires majority control of a firm in an emerging market.
Along with Anusha Chari and Paige P. Ouimet, Tesar explores two decades (1986–2006) in which developed-market acquirers experienced positive and significant abnormal returns of 1.16%, on average, over a three-day event window.
it is revealed that these positive acquirer returns and dollar value gains are unique to emerging-market mergers, and the gains are not replicated when the same acquirers take over firms in developed markets.
The stock price increase is significantly more in two scenarios: the weaker the contracting environment in the emerging market and for industries with high asset intangibility.
They argue that if there is cross-country heterogeneity in the distribution of price differentials within a country, then there is no clear reference point from which to set a standard for the effect of the border.
Ariel Burstein, Christopher Kurz and Tesar conclude in this paper that countries that are more engaged in production sharing exhibit higher bilateral manufacturing output correlations.
They analyze data on trade flows between US multinationals and their affiliates, as well as trade between the United States and Mexican maquiladoras to measure production-sharing trade and its connection with the business cycle.
They develop a quantitative model of international business cycles that generates a positive link between the extent of vertically integrated production-sharing trade and internationally synchronized business cycles.
A key assumption that is made in the creation of the model is a relatively low elasticity of substitution between home and foreign inputs in the production of a vertically integrated good.

Singer-songwriter Sam Swinson formed the band with Adam Pressley while in high school; they were later joined by multi-instrumentalist Nate Hahn.
Despite initial popularity in and around Normal, Illinois, and several do-it-yourself releases, Swinson's heroin addiction and recovery caused the band to disintegrate.
The songs were written while Swinson was in drug rehabilitation and during relapse, and recorded after Swinson contacted Pressley and Hahn as part of a twelve-step program.
The castle was built most probably when Ksani eristavs moved from Kvenipnevi to Akhalgori and obtained Ikorta as one of their residences.
The Ikorta church served as the burial place for eristavs, and currently numerous gravestones can be found inside and around it.
The exact construction time is not known, and presumable dates to the 17th-18th century, when Ksani eristavs lead the rebellion against Iran.
The vast lower part contained the Ikorta church and probably the dukes' palace, and only fragmentary traces of the wall can be found scattered around, as well as a tower in the southeastern part.
Continuing the fight of his ancestors, Riroroko has advanced the position Easter Island should be its own country separate from Chile.

Francis Evrard (born July 12, 1946) is a French-Belgian serial rapist and pedophile, whose rise to notoriety came following his 2007 abduction, kidnapping and rape of a 5-year-old boy from his hometown of Roubaix, in Nord.
Evrard was born on July 12, 1946, to a modest family of laborers in Roubaix, in which he was the only child.
After release, Evrard left for Belgium, where he was arrested for carrying a plumb revolver and concealing burglary material, then emptying the poor boxes of churches.
In 1969, he assaulted a young boy in Mouscron, for which he was interned for 4 years in a specialized institute, before being deported from the country.
In 1975, he was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for sexual violence against a minor, as judged by the cour d'assises of Douai in the North.
Only six weeks after his release, Evrard abducted 5-year-old Enis K.. After approaching the boy in the street while he was playing outside his family home, Francis convinced Enis to follow him with the promises of toys.
He had to start hormone treatment for chemical castration, but on the day of his release, Evrard bought a box of Viagra from the pharmacy, with the order given by a doctor at the Caen prison before his release.
The lawyer believed that it could not be possible to judge Francis Evrard fairly, without also considering what had happened before the crimes themselves.
The lead prosecutor of Douai, Luc Frémiot, who was in charge of the case, requested life imprisonment, but Evrard was instead sentenced to 30 years imprisonment, including a 20-year mandatory prison sentence.
The family of Enis K. announced in 2010 that they intended to sue the state, for failing to take proper care of the pedophile.
During Byers' tenure, the Wingfoots transitioned from the Midwest Basketball Conference (MBC) in 1936–37 into the NBL in 1937–38 (its inaugural season).

Glam-A-Geddon (also known as Glam-A-Geddon 25 or Glam-A-Geddon 25/30/40) was a concert tour co-headlined by the heavy metal bands Mötley Crüe and Poison and glam rock band New York Dolls.
The tour was called Glam-A-Geddon 25 from some sources because 2011 marks the 25th anniversary of Poison's debut Look What the Cat Dragged In.
In Asian art a lotus throne, sometimes lotus platform, is a stylized lotus flower used as the seat or base for a figure.
Among other symbolic meanings, it rises above the water environment it lives in, and is not contaminated by it, so providing a model for Buddhists.
According to the Pali Canon, the Buddha himself began this often-repeated metaphor, in the Aṅguttara Nikāya, saying that the lotus flower raises from the muddy water unstained, as he raises from this world, free from the defilements taught in the sutra.
In art the form is first seen as a base for rare early images of Laxmi from the 2nd century BCE; many or most of these may have a Buddhist context.
However it first becomes common with seated Buddha figures in the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara around the late 2nd or the 3rd century CE.
In early Buddhist art it may be intended to specifically depict the second of the Twin Miracles in the legend of the Buddha's life.
In some accounts of this, when engaged in a contest with sorcerers, the Buddha multiplied himself into other bodies, which sat or stood on lotus flowers.
Most often petal shapes both rise and fall from the dividing line, but sometimes the upper part of the throne represents the prominent flat-topped seed head as a base for the figure, perhaps with circles for the holes holding the seeds, as in maturing lotus heads.
The bingdi lotus is a particular strain with two back-to-back flowers on each stem, but it is not clear if this influenced the form in art.
In East Asian paintings, and also modern Hindu paintings, the lotus throne is often depicted more realistically in terms of its shape (though obviously not its size).
A famous relief of Gaja-Laxmi in Cave 16 at Ellora shows a pond of lotus leaves and budding flowers as a vertical panel below the throne.
Alternatively, stalks may climb up to support lotus thrones underneath minor, smaller, figures, as in the early terracotta plaque illustrated above, where stalks rise at the side to support the elephants lustrating Gaja-Laxmi.
The lotus plant in lotus thrones is often imagined as growing out of the cosmic ocean, and a few images represent the plant below the water level, with a stem also representing the world axis.
Janbolat Mamai () (born 15 June 1988) is a Kazakh journalist, political activist, leader of Democratic Party of Kazakhstan, editor of the Tribuna newspaper.
Mamai then continued his studies at the Abylay Khan Kazakh University of International Relations and World Languages at the Department of English Philology.
He personally covered and commented on other publications about the rights of protesting oil workers and criticized the authorities regarding the prosecution of oil industry protesters, referring to the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan and international laws that Kazakhstan has ratified and which guarantee citizens the right to peaceful rallies and protests.
Since September 2012, Mamai is the head of an independent newspaper Tribuna, which published highly critical materials regarding the current government and a number of officials.
Thus, the newspaper supported Max Bokaev and Talgat Ayan, human rights activists and civic activists who were sentenced to 5 years in prison for participating in a peaceful protest.
Several times, Tribuna was unable to pay for lawsuits, closed and then came out under a different name, retaining its direction.
On 10 February 2017, in Almaty, at the editorial office of the independent newspaper Tribuna, in the apartments and relatives of Mamai, Imanbai, the accountant of the newspaper, and the founder of the newspaper publishing company, searches were conducted in the house of politician Tulegen Zhukeyev as a part of investigative actions carried out by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau regarding the alleged theft of money at BTA Bank.
Mamai was suspected of committing a criminal offense, however he denied his guilt and on 11 February, made a statement that he considers his persecution to be politically motivated.
In the late evening of 11 February, investigating judge Baidauletova announced the decision to arrest Mamai for two months for the period of the investigation, and on 20 February, the court of appeal of the civil panel of the Almaty city court upheld this decision.
On 21 February, after a meeting between Mamai and his lawyer Janara Balgabaeva, it became known that on 17 February, without explanation, he was transferred from the quarantine of cell a pre-trial detention center to the cell where prisoners were serving a sentence for particularly serious crimes.
In his cell, Mamai said that he was beaten with a loss of consciousness which was shown by abrasions and bruises on his body that were visible during a visit by the special prosecutor for supervision of places of detention.
Mamai also dealt with extortionists who demanded an amount of 2,000,000 tenge which was later reduced to 200,000 tenge, by calling from the camera to the telephone of Mamai's wife Inga Imanbai who received death threats.
The women's basketball tournament at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games was held at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines from 4 to 10 December.

Typography is a field of art and printing which involves examining and studying fonts, selection of typefaces, printing and book binding.
Because avant-garde artists began to diverge from the existing methods, their works didn’t reach a wider audience and were only appreciated in narrow cultural circles.
Although writers and publishers were trying to make typography exclusive, it was actually growing in popularity - also within people not related to literature.
However since 1925 avant-garde typography had been spreading to the cities of western and eastern Europe and, as a result, the previous cities gradually lost their relevance.
In 1924 two exhibitions important for development of avant-garde typography were organized: one by Ljubomir Micić (the First International Zenitistic Exhibition of New Art in Belgrade) and the other by Ion Vinea and Marcel Iancu (the First International Exhibition Contimporanul).
Among the most important Polish artists were Władysław Strzemiński and Mieczysław Szczuka – in their works they were referring to poetry and valued the art of publishing (printing) books more than other forms of art.
Władysław Strzemiński is recognized as the precursor of avant-garde typography in Poland – he was one of the first artists to set aside the primal shape of letters.
He thought the content was not as important as the way it was presented because in order to understand the message of a poster/cover, one had to understand what the artist tried to communicate with the arrangement of words or each letter.
As a form of inspiration, architecture also began to lose its value because avant-garde artists were drawing their ideas from paintings and graphics.
Jan Tschichold, the creator of one of many definitions and the most known theoretician of avant-garde typography stated that its basic rules should be lack of symmetry, contrast and total freedom of creation.
Even though the creators weren’t inspired by the works of West-European artists, the magazines weren't published only in their native language but also in German, French and Italian.
For young artists avant-garde typography wasn't only a change in art but also in their lives – they gave up on prewar values as well.
That’s why it was so important to them to publish information not only about art but also about different things important for their jobs and lives.
Most frequently these were people from the left-wing and they often used their works to express opinions about current political situation.
Władysław Strzemiński, Katarzyna Kobro, Mieczysław Szczuka, Lajos Kassák, László Moholy-Nagy, Lászlo Péri, Ljubomir Micić, Tadeusz Peiper, Karel Teige, Ion Vinea, Marcel Iancu, Wassily Kandinsky, El Lissitzky, Alexander Archipenko, Robert Delaunay, Ossip Zadkine.
The Cache Creek Ocean is an inferred ancient ocean which existed between western North America and offshore continental terranes between the Devonian and the Middle Jurassic.
First proposed in the 1970s and referred to as the Anvil Ocean, the oceanic crust between the Yukon composite terranes and North America was later updated to Cache Creek Sea in 1987 Monger and Berg, before being renamed the Cache Creek Ocean by Plafker and Berg in 1994.
The geology of Yukon and geology of Alaska formed in part due to the accretion of island arcs and continental terranes onto the western margin of North America.
The Cache Creek Belt (also referred to as the Cache Creek suture zone or Cache Creek terrane) is an extensive area of mélange and oceanic rocks in the Canadian province of British Columbia.
Sedimentary rocks contain fossils from the Carboniferous through the Middle Jurassic and isotopic dating of blueschist gives ages 230 and 210 million years ago in the Late Triassic.
The Cache Creek Belt is bordered by the Quesnellia terrane in the east and by the large Stikinia terrane in the west.
In histone acetylation and deacetylation, histone proteins are acetylated and deacetylated on lysine residues in the N-terminal tail as part of gene regulation.
The regulation of transcription factors, effector proteins, molecular chaperones, and cytoskeletal proteins by acetylation and deacetylation is a significant post-translational regulatory mechanism These regulatory mechanisms are analogous to phosphorylation and dephosphorylation by the action of kinases and phosphatases.
Not only can the acetylation state of a protein modify its activity but there has been recent suggestion that this post-translational modification may also crosstalk with phosphorylation, methylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation, and others for dynamic control of cellular signaling.
In the field of epigenetics, histone acetylation (and deacetylation) have been shown to be important mechanisms in the regulation of gene transcription.
The basic structural unit of chromatin is the nucleosome: this consists of the core octamer of histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) as well as a linker histone and about 180 base pairs of DNA.
The post-translational modification of histone tails by either histone modifying complexes or chromatin remodeling complexes are interpreted by the cell and lead to complex, combinatorial transcriptional output.
It is thought that a histone code dictates the expression of genes by a complex interaction between the histones in a particular region.
Acetylation of histone H4 on lysine 16 (H4K16Ac) is especially important for chromatin structure and function in a variety of eukaryotes and is catalyzed by specific histone lysine acetyltransferases (HATs).
H4K16 is particularly interesting because this is the only acetylatable site of the H4 N-terminal tail, and can influence the formation of a compact higher-order chromatin structure.
Hypoacetylation of H4K16 appears to cause delayed recruitment of DNA repair proteins to sites of DNA damage in a mouse model of the premature aging syndrome Hutchinson Gilford progeria.
The bromodomain of TIP5, part of NoRC, binds to H4K16ac and then the NoRC complex silences rDNA with HATs and DNMTs.
Increased H4K16ac in old yeast cells is associated with the decline in levels of the HDAC Sir2, which can increase the life span when overexpressed.
The 2021 Caribbean Club Championship will be the 23rd edition of the Caribbean Club Championship (also known as the CFU Club Championship), the first-tier annual international club football competition in the Caribbean region, held amongst clubs whose football associations are affiliated with the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), a sub-confederation of CONCACAF.
The winners of the 2021 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Championship will qualify to the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League, the second and third place teams will qualify to the 2021 CONCACAF League, while the fourth place team will play against the winners of the 2021 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield in a playoff match to determine the final Caribbean spot to the 2021 CONCACAF League.
Among the 31 CFU member associations, four of them were classified as professional leagues and each may enter two teams in the CONCACAF Caribbean Club Championship.
The CONCACAF League playoff will be played between the 2021 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Championship fourth-placed team and the 2021 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield winners, as long as the Shield winners comply with the minimum CONCACAF Club Licensing requirements for the CONCACAF League, with the winners qualifying for the 2021 CONCACAF League preliminary round.

The TCOB was first proposed in 2004 by then Vietnamese Prime Minister Phan Văn Khải during a state visit to China.
The list is annexed to a joint communiqué of state leaders including Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc who attended the 2nd Belt and Road Initiative Forum in April 2019.
Despite continuous affirmations of the Vietnamese government to develop TCOB progress has stalled due to tensions over disputes in the South China Sea and border and naval clashes between 1979 to 1991.
There is even sensitivity by the Vietnamese government to blending together the profiles of the TCOP and Belt and Road Initiative because of public perception.
The $868 million project is mostly financed by preferential loans from the Export Import Bank of China with the remainder of funding from the Vietnamese government.
The country is a member of the Silk Road International Alliance of Art Museums and Galleries, an organization of the National Art Museum of China and 21 art museums or major fine arts institutions.

Captain Mohan Narayan Rao Samant, MVC (1930 – 20 March 2019) was an officer of the Indian Navy, who was awarded with the Maha Vir Chakra, India's second-highest gallantry award.
Samant played an important role in the covert operation called Naval Commando Operation X, which was instituted in 1971 during the Bangladesh Liberation War.
In April 1971, before the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 started, the Naval Commando Operations (X) began training more than 400 Bengali college students and eight submariners as marine-warfare soldiers to carry out covert operations inside the erstwhile East Pakistan.
It involved attacking the vulnerable maritime shipping associated with East Pakistan to cutoff logistics and supplies to Pakistani forces in East Pakistan, thereby easing the advance of the Indian Army.
Commander Samant (who later became a Captain) was one of them and was responsible for the field execution of Operation X.

Damage or complete destruction was inflicted on about 60,000 tonnes of shipping during Operation Jackpot, which was executed by 176 soldiers under the leadership of Samant.
Overall, the operation resulted in around 100,000 tonnes of logistical and supply shipping being sunk or damaged; the operation emerged as the largest covert maritime operation in history, being bigger than those which were undertaken during the Vietnam War and World War II.
Captain Samant led an attack involving three gunboats on Pakistani ships on the Pussur River during the period between 7–10 December 1971.

Seitumer Emin (, ; 15 May 1921 – 21 March 2004) was a Crimean Tatar writer, civil rights activist, and Soviet partisan during World War II.
When he was only seven years old his father died, after which he worked as a shepard on a collective farm to help his mother.
After the start of the German invasion of the Soviet Union, Emin volunteered for the Army and was deployed to Odessa, where he fought in the defense of the city until he was evacuated to Sevastopol.
During the later days of the defense of the city he was wounded and taken to a hospital, and after recovering he was sent to Tuapse, Adgeya.
However, he managed to get permission to be sent to Crimea as a partisan, where he worked with other Crimean Tatar leaders and writers including Jebbar Akimov, Refat Mustafayev, and Shamil Aladin.
Upon arrival in Bekabad he worked in the construction of the Farhad hydroelectric station, where he organized a theater ensemble at the construction site.
Despite living under strict conditions and harsh penalties for defying the Soviet government, he participated in the Crimean Tatar Civil Rights Movement from his early days in exile, meeting in secret with other prominent Crimean Tatars, where they read poetry mourning the loss of their beloved Crimea and founding the National Movement of Crimean Tatars.
After working as a cinema director he became an editor at the fiction publisher in Tashkent, where he worked from 1967 to 1972.
His works included poems and short stories such as «Беяз чечеклер», «Атешли куньлер», «Козьлеринде кедер сездим», «Бульбульнинъ эляк олувы», «О кузь чечеклерини север эди», and «Хатырлав».
Having become a member of the Union of Writers of the USSR in 1967, he was admitted to the Union of Journalists of the USSR in 1968.
He continued to write about Crimea in both Russian and Crimean Tatar, but his participation in the Crimean Tatar movement led to him having to leave Central Asia.
He resettled in Novorossiysk, which was closer to Crimea, but due to the lack of a sizable Crimean Tatar population, his ability to participate in the Crimean Tatar movement was somewhat stifiled and it was harder to get his writings in Crimean Tatar published, since almost nobody in Novorossiysk was fluent in the language.
He later continued his work with the Crimean Tatar movement, becoming one of the organizers for the July 1987 Moscow picket for the right of return, where he gave a speech.
After the publication of the newspaper, he and other participants in the march faced intense persecution for their role in it.
Despite ongoing persecution of activists in the Crimean Tatar movement, he continued to support the cause; he eventually got his works published in Crimea in the late 1990's, but he lived in Novorossiysk for the remainder of his life.
After he died on 21 March 2004 he was buried there, and in 2014 a monument in his hometown of Albat was erected in his memory.

During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount McGuire is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Range where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.

Recital of the Dog is a 1993 novel by David Rabe, and is notable as his first novel to be published.
It is about a painter who kills his elderly neighbor's dog, then loses his grip on reality, descends into madness and begins behaving as if he were the neighbor's dog, leading him to commit a series of grisly murders.
However, he takes pity on his neighbor, an Old Man who is miserable without the dog, believing it to have been kidnapped.
The painter makes visits to the Old Man's home, in an attempt to keep him company, but when Old Man treats him sadistically, the painter soon finds himself impulsively acting like the Old Man's dog.
By the time the painter has returned home, he has so lost his sanity that he begins to suspect his wife of mistreating their 5-year-old son, Tobias.
Planning a violent confrontation with his wife, he decides to prime himself by going on dates with various women, often murdering them.
At times, he feels as though he is witnessing a mysterious male figure interrupting the crime scenes; this may be Death incarnate.
Having felt remorse about his earlier crime, the painter returns to the Old Man and confesses to having killed his dog.

After Tobias is buried alive, a fight ensues between the painter and the Old Man, ending with the Old Man getting killed in a car wreck.

The same conclusions after him came, having traveled to the location of the Russian troops, to Alexei Ermolov and Karl Tol.
In the light of these reports, Kutuzov faced the question of the need to continue the retreat and surrender of Moscow (or giving a battle right on the streets of the city).
The council was attended by generals Mikhail Barclay de Tolly, delayed on the way Leonty Bennigsen, Dmitry Dokhturov, Alexei Ermolov, Peter Konovnitsyn, Alexander Osterman-Tolstoy, Nikolay Raevsky, who was very late, Karl Tol, Fedor Uvarov, and General Paisiy Kaysarov who was on duty that day.
The main sources of information about the council are the memoirs of Raevsky and Ermolov, as well as a letter from Nikolai Longinov to Semyon Vorontsov in London.
Bennigsen, who opened the meeting, formulated a dilemma – to give battle in an unfavorable position or to surrender the ancient capital to the enemy.
Kutuzov corrected him that it was not about saving Moscow, but about saving the army, since you can count on victory only if the combat-ready army is preserved.
Barclay de Tolly proposed retreating to the Vladimirsky Tract and further to Nizhny Novgorod, so that in the event of Napoleon's turn to Petersburg, he would have time to block his path.
The latter pointed out that the army exhausted by the battle of Borodino was not ready for a new equally large-scale battle, especially since many commanders were disabled by wounds.
This decision required a certain courage, since the measure of responsibility for the surrender of the historical capital to the enemy was very large and could result in the resignation of the commander-in-chief.
At the end of the council, Kutuzov summoned the quartermaster-general Dmitry Lansky and ordered him to ensure the supply of food on the Ryazan road.
After two day crossings, the Russian army turned from the Ryazan road to Podolsk onto the old Kaluga road, and from there onto the new Kaluga one.
As part of the Cossacks continued to retreat to Ryazan, the French scouts were disoriented, and Napoleon for 9 days had no idea about the whereabouts of the Russian troops.
Based on the Tolstoy literary basis, the artist Alexei Kivshenko painted two paintings of the same content depicting the main characters on the 70th anniversary of the council, the first in 1880 (stored in the Russian Museum), the second in 1882 (Tretyakov Gallery).
For reasons of economy of timing, among all the council members in the film, the word was given only to Kutuzov and Bennigsen (the latter speaks Russian on the movie screen, which he did not actually speak).
The hut of the peasant Mikhail Frolov (often mistakenly called Andrei Sevastyanovich Frolov or, following Leo Tolstoy, Andrei Sevastyanov), in which the council took place, burned down in 1868, but was restored in 1887, since 1962 – a branch of the Borodino Panorama Museum.
Reliably the initial appearance of the hut is known thanks to a number of studies carried out in the 1860s by Alexei Savrasov.
At Lomonosov State University he matriculated in 1986 and received his doctoral degree in 1990 with thesis advisor Vadim Aleksandrovich Malyshev.

Helen Varick Boswell (1869-1942) was a prominent figure in the Woman's National Republican Association and the General Federation of Women's Clubs.
In 1907 she traveled to the Panama Canal Zone under the auspices of then secretary of war, William Howard Taft, where she worked to organize women's clubs for the wives and daughters of American employees.
Pellarini's design was a low-winged, all metal tractor configuration monoplane with a T-tail, powered by a Lycoming O-360 flat-four piston engine driving a constant-speed propeller.
A retractable tricycle landing gear was fitted, although the production of versions with fixed landing gear was considered for operations in the bush.
Victa had committed to production of the two-seat Airtourer (which had been ordered in much larger numbers than the R-2), and chose to develop a four-seater derivative of the Airtrainer, the Aircruiser, which was expected to be cheaper to build than the R-2, instead of continuing to develop the R-2.
Pellarini left Victa, and later went on to design the Transavia PL-12 Airtruk agricultural biplane, although attempts by Pellarini to build a development of the R-2 as the Transavia PL-13 were unsuccessful.
The battery fought at Norfleet House and Suffolk in 1863 and at Bermuda Hundred, Cold Harbor, the Petersburg assault, Chaffin's Farm, the Petersburg siege, and the Appomattox campaign in 1864–1865.

The building, which was designed in the Neoclassical style, dates from 1735 but was substantially rebuilt after a major fire in 1855.
A tunnel was built from courthouse to the basement of the town gaol (now part of Down High School) in 1857.
The building was originally used as a facility for dispensing justice but, following the implementation of the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, which established county councils in every county, it also became the meeting place for Down County Council.
In 1918, when Britain granted limited suffrage to women property holders, the law did not apply to British citizens in other parts of the Empire.
Though both women and men presented petitions to the British commissions sent to evaluate Indian voting regulations, women's demands were ignored in the Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms.
In 1919, impassioned pleas and reports indicating support for women to have the vote were presented by suffragists to the India Office and before the Joint Select Committee of the House of Lords and Commons, who were meeting to finalise the electoral regulation reforms of the Southborough Franchise Committee.
Though they were not granted voting rights, nor the right to stand in elections, the Government of India Act 1919 allowed Provincial Councils to determine if women could vote, provided they met stringent property, income or educational levels.
Between 1919 and 1929, all of the British Provinces, as well as most of the Princely states granted women the right to vote and in some cases, allowed them to stand in local elections.
The first victory was in the City of Madras in 1919, followed by the Kingdom of Travancore and the Jhalawar State in 1920, and in the British Provinces, the Madras Presidency and Bombay Presidency in 1921.
The Rajkot State granted full universal suffrage in 1923 and in that year elected the first two women to serve on a Legislative Council in India.
In 1924, the Muddiman Committee conducted a further study and recommended that the British Parliament allow women to stand in elections, which generated a reform on voting rights in 1926.
This created fractures among women's groups, who aligned on one side in favour of universal suffrage and on the other in favour of maintaining limited suffrage based on educational and economic criteria.
With limited input from women, the report from the three Round Tables was sent to the Joint Committee of the British Parliament recommending lowering the voting age to 21, but retaining property and literacy restrictions, as well as basing women's eligibility on their marital status.
All further action to expand suffrage was tied to the nationalist movement, which considered independence a higher priority than women's issues.
Provisions for elections were adopted in July, India gained its independence from Britain in August, and voting rolls began being prepared in early 1948.
The final provisions for franchise and elections were incorporated into the draft constitution in June 1949 and became effective on 26 January 1950, the enforcement date of the Constitution of India.
The advent of World War I and the use in propaganda rhetoric of terms like 'self-determination' gave rise for hope among middle-class Indians that change was imminent.
For English-educated elites, who had predominantly become urbanised and depended on professional income, British rule was beneficial, but they also recognised that restrictions on their wives impacted their own careers.
The practice of secluding women meant that they were unable to educate children or serve as hostesses or helpmeets to further their husbands' advancement.
Entwined with Indian nationalists, Indian feminists sought support from British suffragists as well as their own autonomy, which prevented the development of a unified identity or set of demands from women.
When he was ousted in 1917, his replacement, Edwin Montagu, gained approval to organise with Lord Chelmsford, Viceroy of India, a consultation for a limited political devolution of British power.
In 1917, Margaret Cousins founded the Women's Indian Association in Adyar, Madras, to create a vehicle for women to influence government policy.
Founding members included S. Ambujammal, Annie Besant, Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, Mary Poonen Lukose, Begam Hasrat Mohani, Saralabai Naik, Dhanvanthi Rama Rau, Muthulakshmi Reddy, Mangalammal Sadasivier, and Herabai Tata.
When it was rejected on the grounds that the commission's research was limited to political topics, she revised her application, focusing on the presentation of political demands of women.
When it was approved, on 15 December 1917, Sarojini Naidu led a deputation of 14 leading women from throughout India to present the demand to include women's suffrage in the new Franchise Bill under development by the Government of India.
Besides Naidu and Cousins, members of the delegation included Besant, Parvati Ammal, Mrs. Guruswamy Chetty, Nalinibai Dalvi, Dorothy Jinarajadasa, Dr. Nagutai Joshi (later known as Rani Lakshmibai Rajwade, Srimati Kamalabai Kibe, Mrs. Z. Lazarus, Mohani, Srimati S. Naik, Srimati Srirangamma, and Tata.
In addition to the women physically present, telegrams of support were sent to Montagu by Francesca Arundale, Abala Bose, Sarala Devi Chaudhurani, Mrs. Mazur-al-Haque, Uma Nehru, Mrs. R. V. Nilakanta, Miss H. Petit, Ramabai Ranade, and Shrimati Padmabai Sanjiva Rao.
The British Parliament passed the Representation of the People Act 1918, enfranchising women over the age of 30, who were entitled to be, or who were married to someone entitled to be, a local government elector.
In 1918, the provincial legislatures in Bombay and Madras passed resolutions supporting the elimination the sex disqualification for voting, and women gained the endorsement for suffrage from the Indian Home Rule League and the All-India Muslim League.
When the Indian National Congress convened in December, Chaudhurani presented a resolution to the Congress to grant suffrage, which was taken under advisement pending the outcome of consultations with the remaining provincial legislatures.
The Southborough Report published in April 1919 acknowledged that educated women might be qualified, but concluded that overall women were not ready for the vote, nor would conservative sectors of society support their enfranchisement.
In July women in Bombay organised a protest meeting and when Lord Southborough sent his report to the Joint Select Committee of the House of Lords and Commons the Bombay Committee on Women's Suffrage sent Tata and her daughter Mithan to give evidence along with Sir Sankaran Nair.
They were very successful in their pleas, causing the India Office to be inundated with resolutions of support for women's suffrage in India.
Tata and her daughter participated in a second presentation before the Joint Select Committee on 13 October and were present for the final reading of the Government of India Act in December 1919.
The Act did not grant women suffrage, but included a clause that Indian provinces could enfranchise women if they chose to do so.
It limited suffrage, barring most of India's middle class, as it restricted the vote to those who had an annual income of more than ₹10,000–20,000; land revenues in excess of ₹250–500 per annum; or those recognised for their high level of public work or scholarship.
The law empowered the Imperial Legislative Assembly and the Council of State to grant the right to vote in those provinces in which legislative franchise had been approved, but the British Parliament retained the right to determine who could stand as candidates for the Legislative Councils.
By combining their goals, both nationalists and feminists benefited by articulating their common issues, resulting in more supporters to help with resolving their challenges.
By linking gender equality with the removal of colonial restrictions, women were able to defuse opposition, but not eliminate it entirely.
Members of the 45 branches of the Women's Indian Association began to agitate locally for voting rights, submitting demands to their various councils and the focus shifted from India-wide agitation to the provincial level.
The Madras City Council passed Municipal Act IV in 1919, which gave women the right to vote, but not the right to stand in elections.
Women activists including Besant, Chetty, Cousins, Jinarajadasa, Lazaras, Reddi, Rama Rau, Mangalammal Sadasiva Iyer, Rukmini Lakshmipathi, Mrs. Ramachandra Rao, Mrs. Mahadeva Shastri, Mrs. C. B. Rama Rao and Mrs. Lakshman Rao, continued pressing for the same rights as male electors.
In 1921, the Madras Presidency voted to remove the restriction on standing for elections at the local level, striking the sex qualification for women.
Later that year, the Bombay Legislative Council passed legislation removing sex as a disqualification for voting, though educational and property qualifications remained.
Founded by Abala Bose, who had supported the delegation to the Montagu Inquiry, members included Kumudini Bose, R. S. Hossain, Kamini Roy, and Mrinalini Luddhi Sen. Nellie Sengupta was also active in Bengal in agitating for women's rights.
Though a resolution for women's suffrage was presented in September, it was defeated by a vote of 56 to 37, largely on the basis of arguing that granting enfranchisement would allow prostitutes to vote.
In April 1922, the Kingdom of Mysore's Legislative Council granted women's suffrage, followed by approval in the province of Burma in June.
That year, the United Provinces Legislative Council unanimously granted women's suffrage and the Rajkot State not only granted full universal suffrage but elected two women to serve on the Council.
As the princely kingdoms were not bound by the restriction for women standing for election, Rajkot became the first place in India where a woman was elected to the council.
When the Muddiman Committee came to India to assess the implementation and progress made on the implementation of the Act of 1919, the wife of Deep Narayan Singh stressed to the Committee women's desire to participate in the legislature.
The Committee made no change to implementation by provincial authorisation, but did recommend that the bill be reformed to allow women to be elected to legislative positions.
An affiliate of the International Council of Women, the group, which included Marahani of Baroda, Tarabai Premchand, Dowager Begum Saheb of Bhopal, and Cornelia Sorabji, strove to maintain connections with the British and focused on petition politics.
That year, the British Parliament allowed the Government of India to amend the electoral rules granting women the right to become legislative members and Madras granted the right for women to stand in elections for the Provincial Legislative Council.
Also in 1926, Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, an active worker in registering women to vote, became the first woman to stand for a legislative seat in the British provinces, but lost by a small margin.
Recognizing improvements in education depended on a revision of social customs, the organisation worked on social and legal issues that benefited women with the aim of improving the nation.
Though they qualified for registration under the same terms as men, the income requirements meant that only about 1 million women were able to vote or stand in elections.
Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, tensions arose among various women's groups depending on whether or not they supported the British schemes for extending franchise.
These tensions were brought about by the appointment in 1927, of the Simon Commission, which was tasked with developing a new India Act.
In response, the Nehru Report, which came out of the All Parties Conference of 1928, was drafted to recommend that dominion status be given to India within the British Commonwealth.
Because the leaders of the nationalist movement were against the seven white men on the commission deciding the fate of Indians, the Women's Indian Association refused to meet with commissioners, as did the All India Women's Conference.
When Gandhi began the Civil Disobedience Movement in 1930, the British response was to ban the Indian National Congress and arrest its leadership.
Initially he was reluctant to have women participate, but its non-violent aspect appealed to women and soon thousands of women from throughout India were participating in violating the salt laws.
When the men were arrested, women stepped in to continue manufacturing and selling salt to defy the British monopoly and continue the movement.
Proving their leadership abilities, the women held daily councils to plan the day-to-day activities, including protesting at liquor and shops that dealt in imported cloth.
For example, they scheduled shifts of four women a day twice a day for two hours, to picket at each of the 500 liquor shops in Bombay.
When the Round Table Conference was scheduled in London for 1930, initially the Women's Indian Association reversed their boycott, submitting a memorandum which stressed how women's co-operation had been shown to be valuable in resolving political problems.
Those chosen to participate with the commission included Begum Jahan Ara Shah Nawaz and Radhabai Subbarayan, though the British appointed them without consulting any women's organisations.
They agreed to accept interim measures expanding suffrage to literate women and granting special reservations of four legislative seats to encourage women's input on education and social issues.
Cousins and Reddy of the Women's Indian Association, Shareefa Hamid Ali and Rajwade from the All India Women's Conference, and Premchand from the National Council of Women in India jointly prepared a memorandum supporting universal suffrage with no special reservations.
A delegation of women, led by Rani Lalit Kumari (Dowager Rani of Mandi), and including Mrs. Ahmad, a former council member from the United Provinces Legislature and Satyavati Singh Chitambar, president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of India, recommended that women be enfranchised based upon marriage.
The recommendations originating from the committee included being a wife or widow, having attained the age of 25 and whose spouse met (or had met before death) the property requirements of 1919.
When the Gandhi-Irwin Pact of 1931 was signed, and the Indian National Congress agreed to participate in the round table process, women supporting the nationalist aims agreed to participate as well.
At the Second Round Table Conference held that year, suffragists of the Women's Indian Association, National Council of Women of India, and the All-Indian Women's Conference submitted a joint memorandum demanding full adult franchise.
They rejected sex disqualification for candidacy, employment, holding public office, or voting, as well as special provisions to make places for women in the legislature.
The memorandum was presented by Naidu, but Subbarayan countered with a recommendation for 5% of the legislative seats over the next three election cycles to be reserved for women.
As there was no agreement among the Indian delegates, the Second Round Table recommended that each provincial legislature have seats allocated for specific communities and 2.5% of the overall seats be reserved for women.
The three major suffragist groups were disappointed and sent a telegram to the Viceroy expressing their frustration with communal organisation of seats.
Though she supported limited suffrage, when a White Paper was developed for a Joint Select Committee of Parliament, she urged Amrit Kaur and Reddy to prepare a case and select a delegate to testify before the committee.
Throughout the summer of 1933, the women, including Nawaz, toured Britain and tried to gain support from British suffragists for Indian women's voting rights.
Eligibility for women voters was revised under the act to include women aged 21 or over who met the same property qualifications as men, who were literate in any language in use in India, and who were wives or widows of a person who had paid income tax in the prior financial year or had served in the Royal Military.
Once again women from the Women's Indian Association, National Council of Women of India, and the All-Indian Women's Conference issued a joint statement of their dissatisfaction with voting being tied to marital status, income and property requirements that excluded the majority from voting, and special privileges that treated men and women differently.
The Government of India Act 1935 extended the vote to include around 6 million women, but even so covered only 2.5% of the women in India.
The struggle to further expand the franchise was tied to the drive to gain independence, though independence took priority over women's issues.
In 1938, the Indian National Congress set up a subcommittee, which included Ali, Chaudhurani, Kaur, Naidu, Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, Rajwade, Mridula Sarabhai, and Jahanara Shahnawaz.
Working with members of the Women's Indian Association and the All India Women's Conference, they focused on a society reordered so that men and women were equal partners, demanding equal status and opportunity with full political rights.
They also recommended schemes to develop child care, health, and social insurance services; a uniform civil code which protected the economic rights of women and provided protection for children's rights, equal rights to marriage and divorce, guardianship, and nationality; and uniform educational standards regardless of gender.
Similarly, that same year the All-India Muslim League established a sub-committee for women and encouraged their participation in fundraising, mass processions and public meetings.
Though they were able to press for the passage of the Sarda Act of 1929, which raised the age of marriage, members of the Women's Indian Association and the All India Women's Conference were often rebuffed by the nationalist leaders in their attempts to legalise equality.
One of the very first actions of the Assembly was to establish universal adult suffrage, eliminating the gender, income, property, and educational restrictions on voting.
In April 1947, the Advisory Committee on the Subject of Fundamental Rights reported that both the Fundamental Rights Sub-Committee and the Minorities Sub-Committee agreed to the principal.
The Assembly also passed legally enforceable statutes to protect fundamental rights, such as guaranteeing equality and equal opportunity for men and women; eliminating discrimination on the basis of caste, race religion, or sex by either the government or an employer; and banning untouchability; among other provisions.
With the passage of the Indian Independence Act 1947 by the British parliament, the Constitutional Assembly became the parliament of the Dominion of India on 15 August.
In November, the Secretariat of the Constituent Assembly sent out a memorandum regarding general elections to be held under universal adult suffrage and in March 1948, general instructions for preparation of electoral roles were issued to all the Provincial and State governments.
The instructions advised anyone who was a resident, of sound mind, and not a criminal of the age of at least 21 was entitled to be registered.
The goal was to have complete rolls drafted so that immediately after the Constitution was adopted elections for the new government could be held.
The provisions officially replaced those contained in the Government of India Act of 1935, thereafter being adopted by the Constituent Assembly in November 1949 for the formal enforcement date of 26 January 1950.
The Ghost Rider is a 1935 American western film directed by Jack Jevne, starring Rex Lease, Bobby Nelson, and Ann Carrol.
Since the 19th century, there have been several losses in both the Minnesota (north shore) and the Wisconsin (south shore) portion of Lake Superior.
It involves the attempt of various internet users from around the world to identify the authorship of an untitled new wave song whose artist or title have not been identified since its reported airing in a German radio station in 1984.
Further evidence that supports this as being the earliest possible airing date was the Technics tape deck that he used to record the song on which was manufactured in 1984 as well.
The mystery of the unidentified song gained viral popularity in 2019 when a Brazilian teenager named Gabriel da Silva Vieira began searching for evidence of its origin.
Some of the progress after the video's release was the posting of a complete clip of the song in July 2019 by a Reddit user and the communication with persons of interests to the search such as Paul Baskerville, the DJ of the show from which the song was likely taped, although he has stated that he does not remember the song.
The Apostolic Nuncio to Togo is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in Togo, with the rank of an ambassador.
The nuncio serves both as the ambassador of the Holy See to the Republic of Togo and as the point-of-contact between the Catholic hierarchy in Togo and the pope.
In 1948, the Holy See established the Delegation to Dakar led by Marcel-François Lefebvre to represent its interests in French colonial Africa.
Following the decolonization of the region, the title of that position was changed to Apostolic Delegate to Western Africa on 23 September 1960 and given responsibility for Senegal, Upper Volta, Cote d'Ivoire, Dahomey (Benin), Guinea, Mauritania, Niger, Sudan, Togo, Ghana, Gambia, and Sierra Leone.
Over the next decade, as the Vatican established relationships with individual countries, country-specific offices were created, including the Delegations to Guinea, Togo, Mali, and Mauritania on 21 May 1973.
After separating from the World Bank and other International Financial Institutions for decades due to pressure from the Soviet Union, Poland rejoined the World Bank on June 27, 1986.
The World Bank was instrumental in financing and providing technical assistance for Poland as it transitioned from a Command Economy into a Market-Oriented Economy.
As a middle income country, Poland has worked primarily with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development since it is not eligible for loans from the International Development Association.
Despite being a founding member of the World Bank Group (WBG), Poland, due to pressure from the Soviet Union, did not withdraw loans from the WBG until the early 90s.
Once Poland began transitioning away from the Soviet network, the WBG and its sister organization, the International Monetary Fund, provided funds and technical advice to facilitate Poland’s transition into a free-market democracy.
The World Bank was an extremely important source of financing because foreign capital was skeptical of Poland’s political and economic stability and its transition to a capitalist economy necessarily entailed the scaling back of state-directed investment.
SAL was intended to support Poland’s Economic Transformation Program (ETP) which aimed to stabilize the economy, integrate Poland into the global financial market, and create the foundation of a market-oriented economy.
In the WBG’s Performance Audit result, it found that SAL succeeded in restoring Poland’s credit worthiness, establishing the foundation of a market economy, and controlling inflation.
By 2000, Poland’s GDP was 127% that of its 1989 GDP which stands in contrast to other Communist successor states and their struggles.
As a consequence of Poland's relatively successful transition to the market, World Bank engagement with Poland in the 2000s was limited to efforts to wean Poland off of its reliance on coal: Green Investment Scheme, Coal Mine Closure Project, Poland Puck Wind Farm Project, etc.
After the Global Financial Crisis, Poland was one of the few countries that emerged without experiencing negative economic growth despite a general negative correlation between the extent of Neoliberal reforms and economic growth after the Global Financial Crisis for post-Communist states.
Consequently, Poland did not receive much attention from the International Financial Institutions since other members of the Eurozone were more adversely impacted.
While the World Bank has worked on projects with the Polish government that focused on stabilizing public finances by cutting government debt, Poland's governing party, Law and Justice pledged to increase healthcare spending by 41 billion USD by 2024.
Poland has 33 of the EU’s 50 most polluted cities which the NY Times attributes to its reliance on coal for energy.
The project aims to improve the government’s institutional response to flood and to provide it with ample infrastructure and technology to mitigate and predict the effects of potential floods.
Commensurate with its status as a middle-income nation, Poland is eligible for loans from the IBRD and not from the International Development Association.
The IBRD has primarily worked with Poland in pollution management and environmental health, infrastructure services for private sector development, and the restructuring of state-owned enterprises.
In 2010, MIGA issued guarantees which totaled 3.7 million USD to Dutch firm Linx Telecommunications and its Polish subsidiary Warsaw DC.
Through the establishment of a data center and expanding connectivity services, the project hoped to improving Poland’s Information and Communication technology, expand telecom networks, and boost local jobs.
Poland has had 7 investment projects, totaling 457 million USD, and 1 advisory project which totaled 5 million USD with the IFC.
The 1996 EA Generali Open was a men's tennis tournament played on outdoor clay courts in Kitzbühel, Austria that was part of the World Series of the 1996 ATP Tour.
María Josefa Huarte Beaumont or mecenas; benefactora; Maria Josefa Huarte Beaumont (May 25, 1927 – February 8, 2015) was a Spanish art collector and philanthropist.
She is known for donating her modern art collection and a building to put it in to the University of Navarra.
She decided to leave her collection to the University of Navarra in 2008 and she commissioned the architect Rafael Moneo to build a home for it.
In January 2015, the Museum of the University of Navarra was inaugurated by King Felipe VI and houses her donated collection..
Her donated collection included not only paintings but also thousands of photographs by leading photographers going back to the nineteenth century.
The 1978 League of Ireland Cup Final was the final match of the 1977–78 League of Ireland Cup, a knock-out association football competition played annually by clubs affiliated with the League of Ireland.
The match was contested by Dundalk and Cork Alberts, and took place across two legs – with the first leg being played on 6 April 1978 at Oriel Park in Dundalk, and the second leg being played on 12 April 1978 at Flower Lodge in Cork.
They reached the final by defeating Shelbourne (2–1), Shamrock Rovers (1–0), Home Farm (1–0), and Sligo Rovers (on penalties after a 3–3 aggregate draw across two legs).
The first leg in Oriel Park saw Dundalk dominate the first half, yet approaching half-time they had failed to convert any of a number of chances.
In the final seconds of the half, Jimmy Dainty sprung the Alberts' offside trap, and crossed for Terry Flanagan to score.
The second half started in a similar vein, and Dundalk took a two goal lead in the 53rd minute – when Dainty headed a goal from a Mick Lawlor cross.
Dundalk continued to push, but were caught out in the 61st minute when Alberts' Gerry Finnegan chipped a loose ball over the Dundalk goalkeeper, Richie Blackmore, and into the net from 25 metres.
The second leg repeated the pattern of the first, with Dundalk making the early running and taking a 7th minute lead through Mick Lawlor, who scored a volley from 25 metres.
In the 21st minute Alberts equalised against the run of play, when Gerry Finnegan scored a free kick from the edge of the penalty area.
Alberts forced Dundalk to defend deeply in the second half, and eventually scored a second equaliser in the 62nd minute, when James Nodwell met a headed clearance on the half-volley to fire to the net.
With three minutes remaining Alberts were awarded a penalty, when Derek O'Brien was adjudged to have brought down Alberts winger Redmond Lane.
Alberts' player-manager Noel O'Mahony missed, and Dundalk's Tommy McConville scored, to send the cup to Oriel Park for the first time.
Right after the dissolution, different from other nations which experienced a relatively stable transition from planned economy to market economy, Tajikistan fell into a serious civil war.
As a result, the first mission after Tajikistan became the official member of the World Bank, was to recover its economy from bullets and blood.
In response to the crisis, the World Bank issued $6.25 million for the Emergency Food Security and Seed Imports Project in order to help at least 28000 households to release the food price pressure.
Coming into the 21st century, Tajikistan received financing from IDA and IBRD of the World Bank with respect to programs of healthcare, education, irrigation and agriculture.
Over the past years, Tajikistan has received over 130 projects of which 17 are active and a total of over $1.4 billion from the World Bank.
With the help of those projects, from 2000 to 2017, the poverty rate in Tajikistan had been decreased from 83% to 29.5%.
IFC, one of the sub-organization of the World Bank Group, is mainly responsible for funding projects in developing economies with respect to private sectors.
In 2015, IFC helped to collect a total of $16.5 million with $5 million from itself again for IMON International in order to boost Tajikistan's domestic private sectors.
In 2016, IMON International and the World Bank formed partnership in one of the World Bank Project - Agriculture Commercialization Project, providing advisory support and financing for small business and newly agriculture enterprises.
According to the World Bank report of Tajikistan in 2017, 21% of total annual GDP and 45% of total employment could be attributed to agriculture sector.
Second Tajikistan Public Employment for Sustainable Agriculture and Water Resources Management Project with $18 million from IDA helped approximately 43000 rural households in southern Khatlon region of Tajikistan in terms of higher crop production in 2013.
In 2014, the World Bank approved another $22 million for the Agriculture Commercialization Program which allocated $6.7 million to provide with technical support for produce marketing, $15.32 million to small business financing funds and $3.9 million to institutional reform.
Up until now, 80 technical advisors had already been trained and over 16000 farmers had received fund or advisory help from the World Bank.
The National Development Strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan - 2030 (NDS 2030) is the development goal proposed by current government up until 2030.
NDS 2030 claims to increase domestic incomes by up to 3.5% times and decrease current poverty rate by 50% in 2030 i.
In order to better help with this development goal, the World Bank suggests that NDS should transform its growth model giving more space for private investment.
In addition, Tajikistan and the World Bank Group also work together under the new Country Partnership Framework for 2019 - 2023 as part of the steps for realizing NDS 2030.
In this partnership strategy, the World Bank states that it will work with Tajikistan in terms of labor market improvement, job creation, private sector development, human capital cultivation and environment protection.
She has won national fiddling titles, including the National Oldtime Fiddlers Contest, and in 2013 she was inducted into the North American Old Time Fiddlers Hall of Fame.
Williams has disclosed that she relied on her friend and local musician Paul Wiley (originally from Kentucky) to help her learn several Monroe tunes before he arrived in Seattle.
In 1962, Vivian and Phil Williams formed a string band named 'The Turkey Pluckers' to play at square dances, coffee houses, and on television.
KAYO, a local country radio station, were broadcasting a milking contest from the top of the newly-built Seattle Space Needle and hired the Williams' band to play background music.
When a local square dance caller, Kappie Kappenman, heard this on the radio he rushed to the Space Needle with his group of eight young square dancers all decked out in western wear.
They got off the elevator at the top of the Space Needle and immediately began calling and dancing to the tune the Williams' were playing.
Williams also formed the all-female trio, White Pine Girls, just for fun in the mid-1960s with Barbara Hug on banjo and Carol Crist on guitar.
Vivian Williams began playing bluegrass music, but then drew from Scandinavian, Celtic, and old time musical influences including a unique Northwest style of fiddling.
Several musicians with Kentucky, North Carolina, West Virginia and Tennessee roots along with a few northern European immigrants gathered to play music frequently.
The typical jam session would place the women in the kitchen cooking/gossiping while the men played music in the living room.
There were outdoor picnics with the Tar Heel (North Carolina) folks where people would have a family table but share food with other tables.
Missouri folk’s picnics were similar except they were held in a more remote location near Lynden, Washington with fewer outsiders attending.
After extensive travel through Washington, Idaho and Montana, recording numerous old time fiddlers, she and Phil wanted to put their research into recordings.
Vivian Williams is known for performing at contra dances up and down the I-5 corridor in Washington beginning in the late 1970s.
When the Del McCoury Band was touring the Northwest in the 1990’s, He asked his fiddler player Jason Carter to spend time with Williams.
After getting an estimate for fixing it from David Saunders, one of the better known luthiers in Seattle, she checked with a Swiss immigrant who worked on instruments by the name of Hermann Bischoffberger.
She is a four-time winner of the West Coast International fiddle competition, three-time National Ladies Champion (, seven-time Washington State fiddle champion, Washington State Senior champion, and 1999 National Senior Champion.
She won the Smithsonian Fiddle Contest in Washington, D.C.. Williams has been a winner at least eight times at the National Oldtime Fiddlers Contest and Festival in Weiser, Idaho, including three National Champion wins in 1966, 1967, and 1968.
He was professor at BI Norwegian Business School from 1984 to 1986, and was appointed professor of international politics at the University of Oslo from 1987.

Enrica Detragiache is the head of the Germany Desk of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the assistant director of the IMF's European division.
During Detragiache's graduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania, her advisors were former Chief Economist of the IMF Maurice Obstfeld, and Argentine-American economist Guillermo A. Calvo.
She then specialised as an advisor for the European department of the IMF in 2011, and then in 2012 became the assistant director of the European division of the IMF, where she remains today.
As Mission Chief for Germany, Detragiache visits the country on an annual basis as part of regular consultations under Article IV of the IMF's Articles of Agreement.
These trips can also be undertaken when a request is made to borrow IMF resources, or in order to monitor staff programs or economic development.
In 2016, Detragiache's German Consultation led her to find that domestic demand was leading German economic growth at the time, along with expansionary fiscal and monetary policy, but the possibility of Brexit posed a downward risk.
Detragiache has written many working papers for the IMF on financial crises, banking, labour migration and development economics, among other topics.
Her research has also been published in numerous academic journals, including the Journal of Monetary Economics, the Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, the American Economic Review, the Journal of Finance and the Journal of Development Economics.
Her research has been cited heavily, in particular research she has done on labour movement during the European Migrant Crisis, where Germany's open-door refugee policy led to the country accepting large numbers of refugees.
In an article from the Guardian in 2016, she is cited as saying that the negative effects of the refugee influx will be short-lived, and that adequate training of migrant workers would allow them to integrate into the domestic job market and provide a boost to the economy.
This 2008 research by Detragiache and Senior IMF Economist Thierry Tressel investigates the effects of the liberalization of banking systems on credit markets.
They account for the effects of institutional checks and balances on political power in the countries under consideration, as well as the enforcement of property rights.
They conclude that the benefits of liberalization reforms have only had beneficial effects on financial deepening in countries with strong institutions to protect citizens from state or elite expropriation.
Detragiache and fellow IMF economist Giang Ho wrote this working paper for the IMF in January 2010, in response to the 2008 financial crisis.
To research the effects of government intervention in financial crises, the two looked at banking crises in 40 different countries occurring over the years from 1980, in Argentina, to 2003 in the Dominican Republic.
They found that more fiscally risky attempts by governments to rescue failing banks do not lower the economic costs of these crises, and overall end up with worse post-crisis economic performance.
They also find that parliamentary, rather than presidential, political systems are more likely to put in place costly measures to rescue banks.
In terms of the methodology that Detragiache and Ho used for this paper, they estimated an empirical model measuring economic performance during the crisis, including a policy response index which they constructed.
This policy response index takes into account the magnitude of the commitment of public financial resources by the government, and ranges from a low of -2 in Argentina in 1989, to a high of 4 assigned to crises in Jamaica (1996), Sweden (1991), and Turkey (2000).
The researchers controlled for long-run growth potential in the various countries, as well as world economic growth over the crisis period.
In it, Detragiache recommends that Germany prepare for moderately higher inflation than usual, and that the country monitors its programs in place to address poverty.
She praises the prudent fiscal policy that Germany had been taking for its lowering of the public deficit, but says that there is now room to grow especially in terms of public investment in refugee integration programs, as well as kindergartens and after-school programs.
Detragiache has been cited in several news sources such as The Guardian, CNNMoney, Bloomberg, Reuters Deutschland, The Telegraph and German TV station Welt.
The Invasion of the Spice Islands was a military invasion by British forces that took place between February to August 1810 on and around the Dutch owned Maluku Islands (or Moluccas) also known as the Spice Islands in the Dutch East Indies during the Napoleonic wars.
By 1810 the Kingdom of Holland was a vassal of Napoleonic France and Great Britain along with the East India Company sought to control the rich Dutch spice islands in the East Indies.
Two British forces were allocated; one to the island of Ambon and Ternate, then another force would capture the more heavily defended islands of Banda Neira, following which any other island that was defended.
In a campaign that lasted seven months British forces took all of the islands in the region; Ambon was captured in February, Banda Neira in August and Ternate and all other islands in the region later that same month.
After the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1814 the islands were handed back to the Dutch, but not after the East India Company had uprooted a lot of the spice trees for transplantation throughout the British Empire.
The presence of these sparked European colonial interest in the sixteenth century, starting with Portugal who virtually held a monopoly on the spice trade.
The English East India Company arrived soon after who in turn competed with the Dutch and had claimed the island of Ambon and the small island of Run.
After 1667 under the Treaty of Breda, both agreed to maintain the colonial status quo and relinquish their respective claims, which continued well in the 18th century.
During the war that followed Prince William V of Orange ordered the Dutch East India Company to hand over their colonies to the British to stop trade falling into French hands.
The VOC was officially dissolved in 1799; the overseas possessions then became Dutch government colonies (the Moluccas became part of the Dutch East Indies).
By 1808, most of the Dutch colonies had been neutralised in a series of brief but successful campaigns; the Cape was invaded and captured by Sir Home Riggs Popham in January 1806 and the island of Java by Sir Edward Pellew in a campaign that ended in December 1807.
The Dutch East Indies had to be taken by the British for a number of reasons; firstly it was necessary to subvert French power there before it entrenched itself too firmly to be dislodged easily by the British.
In 1806 Herman Willem Daendels became Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies and sought to defend the region against the British.
Using forced labour Daendels reinforced the garrisons, improved defences and built the Great Post Road in Java to counter a potential British threat.
In the middle of 1809 the Colonial Governor of India, 1st Earl of Minto wanted to set up two squadrons to conquer the Moluccas.
The second force intended to capture the Banda Islands, the heart of the Spice trade - notably the strongly defended island of Banda Neira.
The frigates and sloop carried a hundred officers and men of the Madras European Regiment, as well as sailors and Royal Marines, and twenty men and two guns from the Madras Artillery.
They departed from Madras and sailed via Singapore, where Captain Richard Spencer informed Cole that over 700 regular Dutch troops may be located in the Bandas.
A number of East India Company agents were in tow partially to look at the idea of uprooting all of the spice trees namely nutmeg and clove which they had done on a small scale during the islands previous occupation in the 1790s.
The primary consideration was the commercial advantage - the occupation of the Spice Islands meant not only a curtailment of the Dutch trade and power in the East Indies but also an equivalent gain to the company of the rich trade in spice.
By the middle of the following February they arrived off the island the most considerable of the Dutch Spice islands and seat of government.
These were defended by batteries along the beach as well as on some of the neighbouring heights and by Fort Victoria the main fort mounting a number of heavy guns.
As the elevations on the left and in the rear of the town commanded its defences, the British intended to assault them.
The British launched their attack on 16 February - the squadron at the same time occupied the attention of the Dutch by a vigorous cannonade.
The troops aided by seamen and marines led by a Captain Court were landed on the right of the bay unnoticed by the Dutch, capturing two batteries that overlooked the port and Fort Victoria.
British cannon fire from the ships and shore guns proved effective at showing considerable force - three ships were sunk in the harbour.
A summons was then given to the Dutch Governor Colonel Filz for the surrender of the island, and after a few hours the articles of capitulation were agreed upon.
The Dutch commander committed suicide by taking poison after he realised that he had surrendered to what was a relatively weak British force.
She had on board 10,000 dollars, the payroll of which were for the Dutch garrison at Banda Neira as well as provisions, a doctor, nurse, and twenty infants, on their way to conduct a vaccination campaign.
After sending all the Dutch officers and troops from Amboyna to Java, Captain Tucker sailed for the Dutch port of Gorontello, in the Bay of Tommine, on the north-east part of the island of Celebes in June 1810.
Although the Dutch flag was flying over Fort Nassau, the settlement was governed by a Sultan and his two sons on behalf of the Dutch.
The fort surrendered without opposition when Captain Tucker pointed out to the Dutch Governor that an English frigate, with guns ready to fire and volunteers waiting in her boats, was waiting to storm the Dutch position.
The main defence on the islands was Fort Belgica which is a fairly significant position built in the stereotypical Vauban pentagon and surrounded by a ditch.
In addition there were ten batteries (exclusive of the two forts) and as Spencer had predicted, there were 700 regular Dutch troops and 800 native militia.
The operational concept was to approach Banda Neira after dark on 8 August and disembark the landing force of about 400 sailors, marines, and European infantry in small boats.
They were taken under fire from a battery during the night from the small island of Rosensgan as the Dutch were on alert, then the weather worsened dispersing the fleet of small boats.
About 100 yards from the shore and directly opposite a Dutch battery consisting of ten 18-pounders the boats grounded on a coral reef.
The men leapt into the water, then after an hour and a half before daylight the force were able to land in a sandy cove.
Using boarding pikes they killed one sentry and captured the remainder of the garrison, some sixty men, without firing a shot.
Having erected scaling ladders the attackers stormed over the outer walls and despite coming under desultory musket fire this part of the fort was stormed and taken.
The Dutch side the fort commandant and ten men were killed, two officers and thirty men were taken prisoner, along with fifty two cannon.
The British used the guns of Fort Belgica to return fire and threatened to destroy the nearby town if the governor did not surrender but he complied.
The plan was to capture Fort Kalamata a small fortress which lies near the main town which was made up Fort Oranje; a bigger fort - this contained 92 heavy calibre guns and a garrison of 500 men of which 150 were Dutch.
After having found an amphibious landing difficult at night Tucker and his men resorted in daylight and succeeded at Sasa, a village screened by a point of land from the fort by 7am.
They were met by a roadblock, so a detour along a stream led to a sharp firefight against a strong Dutch detachment.
After driving the Dutch away with a bayonet charge, they came across a beach which was only within a hundred yards of Fort Kalamata.
After crossing a ditch, the British stormed the fort using scaling ladders on the flank of the bastion, and carried it after some sharp fighting.
Tucker attempted to demand the Dutch governor Colonel Jon van Mithman to surrender but in response guns were fired at the British ships from Fort Kota Baro a small fort which lay in between Kalamata and Oranje.
The Dutch fought back for a few hours, but after experiencing severe damage to the fort and rising losses it was then assaulted by a surprise attack from the rear by a Royal Marine detachment from Kalamata led by Lieutenant Cursham.
This action was a prelude to Britain's invasion of Java in 1811 which Cole also took a leading role in planning and executing.
For his services, Cole was knighted in May 1812, awarded a specially minted medal, and given an honorary doctorate by the University of Oxford.
Before the Dutch regained control of the islands, the East India Company used their occupation of the Spice Islands to gather spice seedlings.
Thus began a transplantation on an almost industrial scale - most were sent to Bencoolen and Penang, as well as Ceylon and other British colonies.
In the previous occupation in the 1790s the EIC had established spice gardens in Penang; by 1805 these contained 5,100 nutmeg tress and 15,000 clove trees.
The islands then remained part of the Dutch East Indies, a colony of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, until Indonesia's independence in 1949.

When US President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 13780 on March 6, 2017, limiting visas for immigrants from Iran, Bidshahri decided it was too risky to begin a startup in Silicon Valley as she had planned.
Instead, after she completed her B.S., she moved to Toronto, Canada in June 2017, and began Awecademy as a Canadian business.
The modules are multidisciplinary, and emphasize formative assessment (rather than summative assessment) through collaborative real-life projects such as podcasts or videos.
In 2019, Awecademy formed part of a major grant for Riverside City College in Riverside, California to support high school students in pursuing nursing degrees after graduation.
Some of the International Monetary Fund's goals in Guatemala are to restore investor confidence in the country, help the country become profitable, add environmental reforms, and expand the workforce.
The International Monetary Fund plans on achieving their goal by providing primary health care to low income families and improve sanitation conditions.
Moreover, the International Monetary Fund plans to encourage government spending by 15% of their GDP and increase social and infrastructural spending.
The Fund intends on implementing tax reforms, mobilize revenue, and strengthening tax administration as a measure to reduce poverty in the country.
As a result, the International Monetary Fund has encouraged the Guatemalan government to implement programs to expand the formal workforce, like Mi Primer Empleo.
Another course of action the Fund plans on addressing is suspending all mining activities and provide access to clean water in the developing areas of the country.
This source of foreign income outpaces the country's exports and foreign direct investment, making it the second largest foreign income to enter the country.

Truthful resource allocation is the problem of allocating resources among agents with different valuations over the resources, such that agents are incentivized to reveal their true valuations over the resources.
The goal is to design a truthful mechanism, that will induce the agents to reveal their true value functions, and then calculate an allocation that maximizes some global objective.
For the case of many resources, they showed that all truthful mechanisms of the same kind approach 0.5 of the maximum utilitarian welfare.
They also show a mechanism called Strong Demand Matching, which is tailored for a setting with many agents and few resources (such as the privatization auction in the Czech republic).
When there are many more agents than resources, the price of each resource is usually high, so the approximation factor approaches 1.

In the single-player mode, players compete against AI-controlled racers through multiple courses in order to become the champion, while up to four human players can compete on versus matches in the multiplayer mode by connecting four arcade systems via LAN.
Running out of energy results in a game over unless the players insert more credits into the arcade machine to continue playing.
During a race, the goal of the players is to finish a race ahead of other racers and reach first place position.
These power-ups can either benefit or harm those who have picked them up, ranging to speed increasers to weapon items that allow players to inflict damage to rival vehicles once acquired and the stock of weapon supply can be increased by grabbing more weapon icons.
In June 2016, a prototype of the game was revealed to be under ownership of a private video game collector, while the only known gameplay footage of the title was uploaded online on the same month.
Towards the end of their adventure of tomb raiding a temple, Rick becomes furious upon finding the loot has already been taken by the heist artist Miles Knightley.
Rick and Morty travel to HeistCon intending to confront Miles, but they are prohibited from entering as professionals without a crew.
When Rick agrees, Miles claims to have already won by presenting his crew—which now includes Rick's crew, whom he recruited immediately after Rick had abandoned them.
Rick draws the skull from Morty's bag — he divulges that he had built a robot, dubbed Heist-o-Tron, to calculate Miles's heist plan.
Heist-o-Tron hypnotized Miles' crew as they returned from stealing the skull so that Rick could take it from them, then hypnotized everyone else at the conference into Rick's control.
Rick barely escapes with Morty, and recruits a new crew, including Mr. Poopybutthole (now a professor) and Elon Tusk (an alternate version of Elon Musk with tusks for teeth), to fight Heist-o-Tron.
Rick and Heist-o-Tron exchange revelations about double-crossing each other for two hours until Heist-o-Tron self-destructs, concluding that the perfect heist is one that will never be written.
While the crew escapes the collapsing lair, Morty asks Rick to accompany him to Netflix's offices for a meeting about his script for a heist film.
Rick reveals to the viewers that this has been his plan all along: afraid of losing Morty's companionship to Netflix, Rick contrived the whole heist plan to ensure their adventures together continue.
The episode features guest actors Pamela Adlon as Angie Flynt, Justin Theroux as the heist conman Miles Knightly, and Elon Musk as a fictional version of himself (named as Elon Tusk).

While getting ready for an adventure, Rick & Morty stop to talk to Jerry, who is on top of the roof, trying to proudly set up Christmas lights without help.
Jerry promptly falls off the roof, but before he hits the ground, Rick zaps him with a anti-gravity ray that makes Jerry’s body lighter than air.
He then zaps Jerry’s shoes with a function that makes them heavier than air, rendering Jerry neutrally buoyant, enabling him to hang his Christmas lights by bouncing.
Defying Rick's instructions to stay in the car while Rick fixes the issue, Morty is bitten by a snake astronaut which he then kills.
Rick synthesizes an antidote for the snakebite just in time for Morty and in the process learns that the planet the snake is from consists of an advanced patchwork of industrial societies — there are 19 billion snakes divided into 10,000 nations, all on the brink of global war because of race.
Morty is guilt ridden over the loss of morale the snake's death may have on the snake homeworld, figuring the snake astronaut to be an equivalent of Buzz Aldrin.
On earth, Jerry attempts to show off his buoyancy by a game of basketball on an urban court, but a misunderstanding ensues and Jerry loses one of his shoes, floating off into the air helplessly.
After returning from the space adventure, Morty continues to blame himself for the snake planet’s impending doom and attempts to make recompense by buying a snake from a pet store, whom he names Slippy, taking a marker to Slippy to match the stripes of the dead snake, and sending it back to the snake homeworld, attempting to pass it off as the missing snake astronaut.
This sets off a series of events told entirely in the form of snake hisses, where is it implied that military officials quickly determine that Slippy is not from their world.
After a series of efforts to communicate with the alien snake, contact is made between the snake and a snake professor, though Slippy engages the professor in aggressive mating while a team of scientists and military snakes are watching.
Back on earth, as Rick fills in Beth on Jerry's newfound buoyancy, the two quickly realize that Jerry is too careless to use his new powers without endangering himself and set out to rescue him.
Jerry proudly declines help and Rick uses a mushroom-derived Jerry deepfake to convince Beth to leave Jerry to his own devices.
He carries the boulder into a bar, but a misunderstanding causes Jerry to need to release the boulder and fly into the air again.
The robot attempts to kill Morty, but a trenchcoat-covered snake enters the room wielding a shotgun and defends him a la The Terminator.
Rick explains that the Morty's actions, in sending Slippy back to the Snake homeworld, and showing the snake planet an alien snake, gave a common sense of purpose to the snake society, resolving their racism, only to realize they had bigger enemies living among them, leading them to their actions of inventing time travel.
At the snake planet, during an unspecified point in the future, a Terminator-esque war rages between snake and machine, but this unity allowed the snakes to rise up and battle the robot snakes and invent time travel.
A future Rick and Morty show up with a book full of instructions on time travel written in the snakes’ language, along with snake costumes and portable time machines.
Current Rick and Morty put on the snake costumes, travel back to 1985, and leave the time travel instructions at Snake MIT before returning to the present.
On Earth in the present, realizing he will not survive the fall from the air, Jerry is about to leave a tearful voicemail on Beth's phone when a jetplane flies by, which Jerry attaches himself to.
The student returns victorious, only to find that protecting Lincoln somehow led the Snake Nazis to win Snake World War II.
The Testicle Monsters travel back in time and kill a primitive cavesnake just as he is beginning to use tools, thereby preventing the existence of all snake civilization.
Current Rick & Morty go inside to have some eggnog, only to encounter Future Rick & Morty, who rudely remind them that they need to make snake costumes and translate time travel instructions into the snakes' language.

It was inherited on his death in 1815 by his son Sir Roger Martin, 5th Baronet, who died unmarried in 1854.
It passed through several local families until 1920, when the Cook family sold most of the land apart from the hall and of gardens and grounds.
The Hall was donated to the Women's Section of the Royal British Legion in 1933 as a war memorial, to be used to train young ladies as domestic servants.
It was used as an old people's home from 1945 until it was closed in 1990 as being too expensive to maintain and run.
The Hall was sold for less than £1 million in 1991 to Patricia Rawlings (who became Baroness Rawlings in 1994) and her partner Paul Zuckerman, who renovated the building as a private dwelling.

Florence C. Molloy (1878 - 1951) and Mabel N. MacLeay (1883 - 1950) ran the Molloy-MacLeay taxicab company in Boulder, CO (about 1916 - 1926).
Florence Hayden Cowie Molloy was born in November 1878 in Syracuse, New York to William Cowie of Scotland and Sarah H. Cowie of New York.
On February 5, 1908, Florence Cowie married Thomas J. Molloy (1877 - death date unknown) in Syracuse, New York and they subsequently had two daughters: Mary (1909 - death date unknown) and Jane Molloy (1911 - death date unknown).
By 1918, Florence Molloy had moved with her daughters to Boulder, CO and was operating the Molloy-MacLeay taxicab company with Mabel N. MacLeay.
Mabel married Lachlan MacLeay in 1903 and they had a son Donald MacLeay (December 27, 1909 - October 18, 1994) while residing in Tacoma, Washington.
By 1915, the MacLeays were residents of Syracuse, NY where Lachlan was serving as the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce.
In 1920, Mabel was noted in the U.S. Census as married, but living in Boulder, not with Lachlan, and operating the taxi company.
The 1930 Census lists MacLeay as divorced and living with Malloy in the historic Squires-Tourellot house at 1019 Spruce Street, Boulder, CO, which also happens to be the oldest remaining house in Boulder, and working as a resort manager, but in 1940, she is listed as widowed.
The service began sometime during the years of World War I when the man operating the only service in Boulder, CO was drafted.
However, the business began to grow during the 1918 Spanish flu when the company volunteered with the Red Cross to transport medical professionals and supplies to the mountain towns and serve in funeral processions.
During the epidemic, the 38-year-old Molloy was called on to fill in for an undertaker when his hearse could not traverse the mountain roads to pick up a flu victim.
The charge was $7.00 per day per passenger for a round trip to Estes Park from Boulder or a circular route from Boulder to Nederland, Rollinsville, Idaho Springs, Lookout Mountain, and back to Boulder.
To further increase their clientele, the women expanded into city transportation and added a third car (a Packard) as well as a male driver.
The service was operating during Prohibition in the United States and the women would not pick up intoxicated passengers or transport liquor.
The service catered to a variety of clientele, but became the go to driving service for the female students of the University of Colorado at Boulder.
The students’ parents would hire Molloy and MacLeay to act as both drivers and chaperones, especially as Molloy and MacLeay were much less expensive than the usual driver plus chaperone for longer trips.
During the peak years of Molloy's and MacLeay's service, their's was not the only taxi business in town and the success of their business led to upset among the male taxi drivers in Boulder.
This discord only increased in 1926 when Molloy and MacLeay obtained a contract with Union Pacific Railroad for the exclusive rights to solicit passengers from the Colorado & Southern Railway passenger trains at the Boulder depot.
O’Neal, Ray Hall, and Seth Armstead filed a complaint against Molloy and MacLeay claiming they had violated the new city ordinance by soliciting business at the Union station platform.
Malloy pleaded not guilty, and was supported by the station agent, J.P. Colstadt, and the secretary-manager of Bluebird Cottage, Emma Tracy, who said that though Molloy-MacLeay taxi has a contract with the Bluebirds, Bluebirds were not compelled to use the service.
According to letters written by Molloy and MacLeay to friends in Syracuse, NY, the women were also receiving threats from the Ku Klux Klan calling for them to close their business.
As a result of the regulations, litigation, and threats, the Daily Camera announced on June 19, 1926 that Molloy and MacLeay had sold the Molloy-MacLeay taxicab company to the Yellow Cab company, but would continue Molloy Scenic Tours outside of Boulder city limits and continue a one-year lease to the Bluebirds.
After the closure of the taxi service, the women opened the Double M dude ranch (or M&M ranch, then Trojan Ranch, and now the Colorado Mountain Ranch) in Gold Hill, CO.
The ranch operated until World War II when it was sold in 1941 and Molloy and MacLeay relocated to Sunset Ranch at 2801 Baseline Road.
He also played in the SM-liiga for SaiPa, the Tipsport Liga for HKm Zvolen and HC Košice and the Ligue Magnus for Brûleurs de Loups.

Relations between the People's Republic of China and the Soviet Union underwent a sea change from 1969 to 1991, from open conflict to bitter détente to diplomatic partners by 1989.
Relations between the Soviet Union (USSR) and Communist Party of China (CCP) dated back to the founding of the CCP in Shanghai in 1921, a meeting conducted under the supervision of the Soviet Comintern.
The Soviets remained cautious partners with the rising CCP throughout the 22 years of the Chinese Civil War, and the USSR was the first nation to recognize the People's Republic of China in 1949.
The following year saw the signing of the Sino-Soviet Treaty and founding of the Sino-Soviet alliance as well as the beginning of a decade of economic cooperation between the two nations.
Despite transfers of aid and raw materials between the nations, by 1956 this once warm friendship had cooled, and the Sino-Soviet split began.
In 1960, the Soviet Union withdrew all economic advisors from the PRC, and relations became confrontational in political, economic, military and ideological arenas.
After years of border incursions by both parties, 1969 saw the Sino-Soviet border conflict which nearly boiled over into a nuclear exchange.
Even after the death of Mao Zedong in 1976, these two former allies remained locked in a miniature cold war, consumed by ideological, political and economic differences.
However, relations began to improve in the late 1970s with a gradual de-escalation of military tensions and a move towards bilateral relations.
Warmer bilateral relations and mutual understanding would characterize the last two years of the Sino-Soviet relationship, up until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December, 1991.
- Gilbert RozmanThe entire Sino-Soviet relationship was a roller coaster of events, from close alliance to nuclear showdown, but by the 1980s common approaches to reform enabled the resumption of diplomatic relations and extensive trade.
These events spanned multiple generations of political leadership; Mao Zedong, Hua Guofeng and Deng Xiaoping led China, while Joseph Stalin, Nikita Khrushchev, Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov, Konstantin Chernenko, and Mikhail Gorbachev led the Soviet Union.
Despite numerous domestic and foreign concerns, each generation of leadership devoted significant time and resources to the Sino-Soviet relationship, a relationship bound by political, economic, geographical, and ideological considerations.
The Sino-Soviet Alliance began with the signing of the new Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance on February 14, 1950.
Following the signing of this treaty, the USSR advanced $300 million in development loans to the PRC and sent nearly 10,000 Soviet technical advisors to work in China.
Over the next decade, extensive technological transfer and development assistance drew the two countries close together, while China firmly allied with the Soviet Union in the Cold War.
However, for numerous reasons, the Sino-Soviet alliance weakened in the late 1950s, and the Soviet Union withdrew all economic aid in August 1960.
With the intensification of the Sino-Soviet Split, both nations deployed troops to the shared border, which stretched from North Korea to Central Asia.
However, for the first part of the Sino-Soviet confrontation, the Mongolian People's Republic, a Soviet satellite since 1921, remained relatively neutral, and facilitated continued trade between the USSR and PRC.
The treaty, signed in Ulaanbaatar on January 15, 1966 by Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and Mongolian Prime Minister Yumjaagiin Tsedenbal, allowed the Soviet Union to station troops in Mongolia to ensure mutual defense.
While the Soviet Army had previously operated in Mongolia, this was the first time that troops would be based in the independent nation.
By 1967, the Soviet Union had deployed armored units and mechanized troops as well as ballistic missiles inside Mongolia and along the Chinese border.
The border conflict grew worse as each side moved more troops into the borderlands, and tensions in Moscow and Beijing rose to a breaking point.
In 1969, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) attacked Soviet troops stationed on Zhenbao Island in the Ussuri River, claiming the island for China.
The PLA argued that such attacks would not lead to a wider war with the Soviet Union, but China's leadership still prepared for war.
In addition, the Soviets transferred strategic nuclear bombers to airbases in the Russian Far East within striking distance of Manchurian nuclear facilities.
The PRC reacted by further preparing for war along the borderlands, while also seeking to reduce tensions in a high-level meeting with Soviet leaders.
Premiers Alexei Kosygin and Zhou Enlai met at the Beijing Airport on September 11, 1969 and through a hurried series of meetings attempted to carefully negotiate a step-back from the brink of war.
Mao Zedong and Lin Biao feared that the Soviet negotiations were a trick, a ploy to draw off Chinese troops while the Soviets would attack with ground and nuclear forces.
Under orders from Mao, Lin Biao put the PLA strategic forces on war-readiness in full preparation for a nuclear war with the Soviet Union.
With the nation on full alert, civilian and military authorities began to prepare for total war, under the premise that the arrival of a Soviet border negotiations team would be a ruse for an all-out nuclear strike.
Sino-US rapprochement, a major break with previous foreign policies seeking to create a new balance of power in East Asia, greatly affected the Sino-Soviet relationship.
While visitingChina, American President Richard Nixon and National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger worked to allay Chinese fears of a joint US-Soviet attack and instead promote ties with China that would undermine the Soviet Union.
Li Danhui and Xia Yafeng argue that Mao Zedong's ideological shift toward Sino-US relations was heavily influenced by the continuing threat of the USSR.
This opened the door for continued cooperation and negotiation with the United States and cooperation balancing against Soviet power in East Asia.
In the midst of Sino-American rapprochement in 1972, the Sino-Soviet border continued to be heavily fortified, with nearly 1 million Soviet troops, armed with tanks, airplanes, artillery and backed by ballistic missiles.
The border tensions increased from 1973 through 1976, as both sides sought political victories while also continuing to militarize the border.
Brezhnev spoke of China's failure to accept peaceful coexistence between the two nations, while the PRC continued to view the Soviet Union as an existential threat.
The presence of the Soviet Navy in the Indian and Pacific oceans as well as well-armed troops across the length of the border reinforced a view of Soviet encirclement.
The death of Mao in September 1976 brought no immediate changes in the Sino-Soviet conflict, although each side had significantly reduced the number of troops stationed along the border.
Brezhnev attempted to congratulate Hua Guofeng in October 1976, and was strongly rebuffed with a reinforcement of the late Chairman's anti-Soviet rhetoric.
In 1976, each side had approximately 300,000 soldiers deployed on the border, while the Soviet troops were backed by airpower and strategic forces.
In 1978,the Soviet began deploying SS-20 missiles throughout the Far East allowing the Soviets to strike any target in the PRC.
The Sino-Soviet Treaty lapsed in February 1979, and Deng Xiaoping announced that China would not attempt to renew the treaty provisions.
After China's withdrawal from Vietnam, Sino-Soviet relations remained locked in tense military confrontation along the border, while diplomatic relations remained frozen.
Many of these units were stationed in the nominally independent Peoples' Republic of Mongolia, as per the 1980 Soviet-Mongolian Mutual Defense treaty.
The massive troop build-up along the border into the 1980s led to an imbalance of military power, the Chinese remained overwhelmed by the Soviet show of force.
For China, the instability on the northern border was increasingly seen as an unnecessary threat to the regimes existence and a thorn in the side of Chinese economic reforms.
The post-Stalinist Soviet Union was no longer seen as a revisionist empire but instead a potential trade partner in economic reform.
The USSR sought to focus on bilateral relations between the two nuclear powers, while the PRC was concerned with current Soviet engagements in neighboring countries, specifically Vietnam and Mongolia; the PRC remained worried about the potential of Soviet military encirclement.
While the Soviet Union sought to establish bilateral diplomatic relations, for China, there were two major issues that needed to be tackled before normalization of diplomatic relations.
The Soviet–Afghan War ended this brief warming of Sino-Soviet relations and led to increased military cooperation between China and the United States.
The US and PRC established joint intelligence listening posts in Manchuria to monitor the Soviet Union, and these facilities remained staffed by Chinese intelligence.
The Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan opened another military front on the Sino-Soviet border, and while this border was never the site of direct confrontations, the PRC worried about the additional Soviet presence.
In 1980, the US and PRC jointly opened two further listening stations in Xinjiang, specifically focused on tracking Soviet troops in Afghanistan.
Furthermore, Xinjiang became the base of Chinese aid to the Mujahideen, with PLA soldiers training and providing weapons to the anti-Soviet guerillas.
These PLA and CIA joint training camps were located near Kashgar and Khotan, spending $200–400 million training and arming the rebels.
The new listening posts and cooperation between the US and PRC, counter-balanced Soviet threats in the West, while the increasing quagmire of the Soviet war, appeared to weaken the Soviet Army.
While warming relations with the US led to an informal military alliance, the PRC also sought to improve relations with the Soviets.
In 1981-82, Chinese fears of Soviet encirclement and coming war diminished, however the desire to remove these threats remained the top priority for normalization of Sino-Soviet relations.
In response, Deng sent Yu Hongliang to give the following message to the Soviet government via the PRC embassy in Moscow.
Of course, the problems cannot be solved in one day, but the Chinese side holds that the important thing is the existence of true willingness to improve relations.
The Chinese side proposes that the Soviet Union should persuade Vietnam to withdraw its troops from Cambodia as a starting point, or it is also possible to start with other problems that influence the relationship between our two countries, such as the reduction of military force in the border region.
At the same time, both sides should work on finding mutually acceptable measures in order to solve the problem of withdrawal of Soviet troops from Mongolia.
To sum up, only if both sides think about the prospects for the development of the relationship, are willing to resume good neighborly relations between our two great countries, start with solving one or two of the important problems, will it then be possible to open up a new phase in bilateral relations.
The Soviet responded positively, agreeing to work towards resolving these obstacles, beginning formal political level meetings at the vice-foreign minister level.
The first vice-foreign minister meeting was held in Beijing in October 1982, and eleven further semi-annual meetings were held up until 1988.
As evidence of the change in China's position since 1976, the PRC continued to lobby for the withdrawal of Soviet military forces and aid in Vietnam, insisting that peaceful coexistence between the PRC and USSR be the guideline for relations.
Several notable meetings occurred with the resumption of political negotiations: the two foreign ministers met at the UN in 1984 and First Deputy Prime Minister Ivan Arkhipov toured the PRC later that same year.
Despite progress in cultural and political ties from greater trade to ping-pong competitions, neither nation was willing to compromise on the balance of military power in Asia.
China continued to see the USSR as a threat, and the USSR saw the presence of troops in the Far East, Mongolia and Afghanistan as well as continued military aid to Vietnam as crucial for its overall geopolitical goals.
Trade between the two nations increased dramatically through the 1980s growing from 223 million Soviet rubles in 1982 to 1.6 billion rubles in 1985.
In the winter of 1984-1985, the first Vice-Chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers, Ivan Arkhipov, traveled to Beijing and at a state banquet, it was announced that China recognized the Soviet Union as a fellow socialist country.
From this point forward, the Chinese propaganda ministry backed away from its attacks on the USSR, ending decades of ideological warfare.
In March 1985, while in Moscow for Konstantin Chernenko's funeral, Li Peng met with the new Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev with both sides explicitly stating their desire to normalize all relations.
At the Twenty-Seven Party Congress of the CPSU, Mikhail Gorbachev announced the beginnings of perestroika in the USSR, radically reforming and restructuring the stagnant Soviet economy.
In his speech, Gorbachev praised the earlier Chinese reforms, and simultaneously expressed an interest to further improve ties with the PRC.
The new Soviet government recognized that economic stagnation had been greatly worsened by overextending the Soviet military might across the world, and Gorbachev sought to reduce the load on the Soviet Union by withdrawing troops and aid from several costly conflicts.
The USSR simply could not afford it's interventionist foreign policy, and over extending the military was at the heart of its financial woes.
Furthermore, the countries resumed diplomatic relations on the consular level, the PRC opened a consulate in Leningrad, and the USSR opened one in Shanghai.
Gorbachev's New Political Thinking recognized that disarmament was key to the economic survival of the USSR, including unilateral disarmament and equal participation in regional economic and diplomatic relations.
For the first time the Chinese foreign minister, visited each other's nations in 1988, announcing that all diplomatic relations were to occur on equal footing.
The two foreign ministers then set the formal summit meeting between all parties for May 15–18, 1989 in Beijing, where Gorbachev would finally meet Deng and diplomatic relations fully normalized.
Both sides agreed that there was no dogmatic model for socialism and that both nations were socialist societies, led by Communist parties.
Furthermore, Gorbachev rejected the Brezhnev Doctrine on the USSR's right to intervene in socialist nations affairs, while also stating that the USSR did not strive to dominate the PRC politically, economically, nor ideologically.
Coker was the third son of Robert Coker of Mappowder, Dorset (d. 1571/2) and his wife, Elizabeth, the daughter and heir of Henry Beaumont of Giddesham.

Needle Peak is a prominent mountain summit located in the Coquihalla Summit Recreation Area, in the North Cascades of southwestern British Columbia, Canada.
Due to its close proximity to the Coquihalla Highway, the mountain is a popular hiking destination in summer, and skiing and snowshoeing in winter.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Needle Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Range where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.
Golconda Skate Park, also known as Fat Kid, is a public skate park in Downtown Brooklyn that originated as a DIY skate spot.
Built under the Brooklyn Queens Expressway, the 18,000 square foot professionally built skate park was completed in 2016 and sits within Golconda Playground.
Located under the Brooklyn Queens Expressway, the park originated as a D.I.Y skate park known as Fat Kid or the Fat Kid spot.
In 2013, work began on a 3.7 million dollar redesign of Golconda playground which included a redesign of the old D.I.Y skate park into a public skate park that flows with the design of the entire park.
Starting in early 2019, the NYC Skateboard Coalition, working with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, hosts monthly clean-ups at Golconda to mitigate the debris that build up in the park.
Also in November 2019, the NYC Skateboard Coalition installed a lock box for brooms and other tools to be stored in an accessible place at Golconda for park locals to clean the skatepark themselves.
The DIY skate spot that became Golconda Skate Park got its original name, Fat Kid Spot, because of its low-impact obstacles, which were relatively close to the ground.
Circa 2004 the school had a debt of about $20 million, and in 2009 the debt was down to $12.5 million; the school had incurred debt partly due to renovations of the Millbrook school and the construction of the Rockford school.

The royal charters were reportedly engraved in Malayalam, Chaldean and Arabic on both sides of two copper plates (joined by a ring).
According to the Kerala traditions of native Christians, the Knanaya or the people of Knai Thoma were associated with the southern portion of the Chera/Perumal headquarters Kodungallur.
The plate was cherished by the Knanaya as evidence of their arrival to Kerala under the leadership of Knai Thoma as well as a notation of the historical, economic, and social rights bestowed upon them by the Chera Perumal.
According to the communities traditional origins Thomas of Cana, a Syrian merchant led a group of 72 Jewish-Christian immigrant families, a bishop named Uraha Mar Yausef, and clergymen from the Middle East to settle in Cranganore, India in the 4th century (some sources place these events in the 8th century).
This story may reflect a historical migration of East Syrian Christians to India around this time, which established the region's relationship with the Church of the East.
Elements of the Thomas of Cana story feature in ancient songs as well as a Thomas of Cana copper plates These plates are said to have granted Thomas’ followers 72 social, economic, and religious rights from Cheraman Perumal, the Chera king.
The first written record of the Thomas of Cana copper plates dates to the 16th century when Portuguese officials in Kerala took notice of the plates and their later disappearance.
During this time period the plates were in the possession of Mar Jacob, the Chaldean bishop of the city of Cranganore.
Due to an altercation between the Zamorin of Calicut and the Kingdom of Cochin, the homes and churches of the Knanaya community were set a flame and destroyed in 1524.
The Knanaya had a township and three churches namely of St. Mary, St. Kuriakose, and St. Thomas in southern Cranganore which according to tradition was built by Thomas of Cana when the community arrived to India.
In 1566 Portuguese official Damio De Goes records that the Thomas of Cana copper plate grant was given to the Portuguese treasurer Pero De Sequeia by the Chaldean Bishop of Cranganore Mar Jacob in 1549 in order to keep the plates safe.
Treasurer Pero De Sequeia then took the plates to the Portuguese governor of India Martim Afonso De Sousa who ordered the local people to translate the context of the plates.
After this point, the physical plates were kept by Pero De Sequeia and his successor treasures at the Portuguese depot in Cochin.
De Gouvea states that the loss of the plates had greatly angered the Knanaya who had no other written record of their history and rights to defend themselves from local kings who by this point were infringing on their position.
In 1603–1604 Portuguese Archbishop Francis Ros made a more complete translation of the context of the Thomas of Cana copper plate grant from an existing olla copy (palm-leaf manuscript).
And the king himself came and saw and called said chief man Thomas and he disembarked and came before the king who spoke graciously to him; and to honor him he gave him in surname his own name, calling him Coquarangon Caneneo.
And the said king, being in his great prosperity, went one day to hunt in the forest, and the same king surrounded the whole forest and he called in haste for Thomas, who came and stood before the king in a lucky hour, and the king questioned the soothsayer.
The historical context of the plates and the 72 privileges bestowed to Knai Thoma are especially found in the ancient folk songs of the Knanaya first written down in the 17th century on palm leaf manuscripts.
He entered, and when he visited the Chera King, in plenty he presented gold and coral and pearls and obtained the country.
That his greatness may be manifest in all the world around, he gave him marks of honour – the fivefold band, the eighteen castes.
Panans would historically visit the homes of nobles castes in Kerala and sing songs of heroic figures as well as legendary events.
After doing so the Panan would receive payment for their performance in the form of a material donation of items such as betel leaves and other types of charitable aid.
In particular, the Panans would sing of a story in the life of Thomas of Cana during the reign of Cheraman Perumal.
The four castes are initially hesitant to return to Cranganore but are persuaded by Tiruvaranka when he shows them the golden staff of Thomas of Cana which he was granted to take on his journey as a sign of goodwill.
After seeing the staff the four castes are content and in their satisfaction remove their own ornaments and smelt a golden crown for Thomas of Cana which they present to him upon their return to the Cranganore.
Wearing the crown, Thomas and Tiruvarankan go to meet Cheraman Perumal who is pleased with the success of their mission and grants Thomas of Cana privileges.

Cup-bap or cup-bop () is a food truck offering that consists of rice in a paper or plastic cup with a variety of toppings.
In the streets of Noryangjin, many students would come out to eat at the same time which had been causing long lines at restaurants.
Noryangjin had only offered very basic quick snacks such as hot dogs, so food trucks with cup-bop then filled the demand for quick, cheap, and more satisfying meals with rice, meat, and egg.
Food trucks are able to quickly fill cup-bop orders, because they stir-fry the ingredients in advance in a large frying pan; when the cup-bop is ordered, the pre-cooked toppings are put in a cup with rice and egg.
Because cup-bop is convenient to eat on the go as well as a more satisfying meal than other quick snacks, it grew in popularity with students.
Some of the most popular kinds of cup-bop are chicken teriyaki, tuna mayonnaise, pork-belly & ham, chicken mayonnaise, stir-fried kimchi, bulgogi, etc.
In Korea, cup-bop is a food truck offering that academy students eat for a snack or as a meal on the Noryangjin Institutes Street, and as it became more popular, new franchises opened near the schools.
Starting from Noryangjin's food truck cup-bop, you can now find shops that sell cup-bop all over the streets of Korea, plus dried cup-bop as instant food.
Bjørgaas planned to work in China as a medical missionary with the Norwegian Mission Alliance (NMA), but was unable to do so, as he had not finished his medical studies by 1949, when the Communist Party of China expelled NMA members from the country.
Bjørgaas earned his medical qualifications in January 1954, married his wife Kari in February, and joined the NMA in Taiwan by July.
Bjørgaas chose to work with patients with leprosy while in Taiwan, and Joseph Leyburn Wilkerson, a colleague of Lillian Dickson's, contacted him in August 1954, with a job at the Losheng Sanatorium.
As the number of patients increased, Bjørgaas moved his Pingtung operations to a mansion built in the Japanese era, and renamed it the Pingtung Christian Clinic.
When the area was hit with a measles outbreak, Bjørgaas went to Kaohsiung and asked American military officers to deliver food and medicine to the sick via helicopter.
When a polio epidemic struck southern Taiwan in the 1960s, Bjørgaas arranged for American-made vaccines to be imported and administered 4,000 vaccinations for free.
Bjørgaas was reassigned to a leprosy clinic in Kaohsiung in 1967, and left Taiwan briefly, before returning to Pingtung in 1974.
He established a medical ward for the care of people with cerebral palsy in 1978, as well as Victory Home for people with disabilities.
Bjørn Jarle Sørheim-Queseth wrote a biography of Bjørgaas in 2012, a Chinese translation of which was published in 2013 in Taiwan by CommonWealth Publishing.
Bjørgaas himself was awarded the Fervent Global Love of Lives Medal by the Chou Ta-Kuan Cultural and Educational Foundation in 2014.

To determine the changes in level of support for redistribution in the U.S., Ilyana Kuziemko, Vivekinan Ashok, and Ebonya Washington analyze American survey data over several decades.
Although economic inequality in the U.S. has been increasing since 1970, the study finds that the support for redistribution has remained flat, and has decreased significantly for the elderly and for African-Americans.
Possible explanations for this trend are explored, and the authors argue that the elderly have grown less supportive of redistribution due to worries that it would come at their expense through cuts to Medicare.
The authors also argue that African-American attitudes surrounding fairness in economic issues have increased, explaining the decline in support for redistribution.
Ilyana Kuziemko, Michael I. Norton, Emmanuel Saez, and Stefanie Stantcheva use randomized online surveys on Amazon Mechanical Turk (mTurk) to analyze the effects of information regarding income inequality and taxes on preferences for redistribution.
Randomized treatments were provided to approximately 4,000 respondents with varying information on income inequality in the U.S., the estate tax, and the relationship between tax rates on the highest income group and economic growth.
Lastly, the authors observe that treatments informing respondents that the estate tax only affects very wealthy families have a large positive effect on support for the estate tax.
In this study, the effects of the transition from fee-for-service (FFS) programs to managed care plans on the disparities in infant health outcomes are analyzed.
Ilyana Kuziemko, Katherine Meckel, and Maya Rossin-Slater find that mortality rates and pre-term birth rates increase for black infants, by 15 percent and 7 percent, respectively, and decrease for Hispanic infants by 22 percent and 7 percent, respectively, under private Medicaid Managed Care (MMC) plans.
Krueger and Kuziemko argue that these results suggest that under the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, an estimate of 29 million uninsured individuals are projected to gain coverage.
Furthermore, the authors argue that the results of the study show that the effects of such policies in increasing coverage rates have been greatly underestimates in previous studies.
To study how parole and fixed sentencing affect recidivism rates, Ilyana Kuziemko analyzes data from the Georgia Department of Corrections over several decades.
The study finds that parole boards efficiently set prison time based on a prisoner's recidivism risk, thus reducing recidivism within three years of release by 1.3 percentage points.

Golden Legacy was the umbrella title for a line of educational black history comic books published by Fitzgerald Publishing Co. from 1966 to 1976.
Bertram A. Fitzgerald, Jr. (b. November 6, 1932, in Harlem, New York; died January 10, 2017, in New York City) became interested in black history thanks to his seventh-grade history teacher, who made sure to highlight the contributions of blacks in various fields.
By the mid-1960s, now employed by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, Fitzgerald had the idea to create a line of nonfiction comic books to inspire and educate his fellow African Americans.
Contacting former Air Force colleague Leo Carty, Fitzgerald commissioned him to write and illustrate a comic book story about Toussaint Louverture and the birth of Haiti.
He was able to make the case that blacks bought more Coca-Cola per capita than white customers, and that the company should cater more to that audience by supporting his struggling publishing company.
African-American historian Benjamin Arthur Quarles, then a professor of History at Morgan State College, was brought on as a consultant, and the issue featured a full-color back cover ad for the Coca-Cola Company featuring photos of African American models.
Howard Darden became Fitzgerald's art director with issue #7; he also illustrated volumes on Frederick Douglass (issues #7–8; 1969–1970) and ancient African kingdoms (issue #15; 1972).

Giuseppe Sasia (born May 26, 1886 - February 17, 1936), known as The Shepherds' Killer and The Haut-Var Killer, was an Italian criminal and serial killer, who, in the span of several months in 1934, killed at least 4 men in Draguignan, France, with the aim of stealing from them.
They moved to Les Arcs, and after his father's death, his mother returned to Italy, while he and his brother sold the family property.
Sasia, who was familiar with the place, also knew that the shepherd was gone during the day, and that he had money on him.
Sasia claimed to have had an altercation with the chauffeur on the road to Canjuers, deciding to shoot and rob him, before hiding the body.
He was walking around with his rifle by his side, perhaps looking for a new victim, and his attitude provoked the interested of the policemen.
As Sasia could not present a hunting permit, he was taken in by the gendarmerie, to which he instantly admitted to having hunted without a license, as well as confessing to his theft convictions.
The gendarmes discovered on him the watch stolen from the corpse of Félicien Rouvier, prompting Sasia to quickly confess his guilt.
From the on, the gendarmes searched his home, where they found six watches, five wallets and a pair of gloves, which turned out to be Galliano's.
Sasia admitted to that murder as well, claiming at first that they had fought before, before acknowledging that he killed Gianni so he could rob him.
When presented before the magistrate on the following day, he partly recanted his confession, recognizing only the two crimes for which there was evidence: those of Rouvier and Galliano.
The investigators discovered two transfers made on the days after the two murders, and the presence of several watches raised concerns about other possible victims.
After several minutes of deliberation, jurors recognized him as guilty of the four murders and condemned him to the death penalty.
While it was deployed in the public square, a large part of the service was set up to prevent from attending the execution.
A controversy arose from the fact that Sasia, an Italian national, was the subject of a deportation order from the gendarmes, since his first conviction.
Free-standing statues of the Buddha appear around this time, possibly encouraged by doctrinal changes in Buddhism allowing to depart from the aniconism that had prevailed in the Buddhist sculptures at Mathura, Bharhut or Sanchi from the end of the 2nd century BCE.
The Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara appears to have fully developed around this time too, also under the rule of the Kushans, following on earlier imagery such as the Bimaran casket or the at the Butkara Stupa in Swat.
The top of the statue was broken, and a full decorated aureola with flying attendants initially stood behind the image of the Buddha.
The pedestal is structured around a wheel on a columns, seen in profile, with two attendants holding flowers, and two winged lions on the sides.
There has been a recurring debate about the exact identity of these Mathura statues, some claiming that they are only statues of Bodhisattavas, which is indeed the exact term used in most of the inscriptions of the statues found in Mathura.
An alternative starting date for his reign is 78 CE, which would give a date of 82 CE for the statue.
The style of these statues is somewhat reminiscent of the earlier monumental Yaksha statues, usually dated to one or two centuries earlier.
Several seated Buddha triads in an elaborate style are known from the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara, such as the Brussels Buddha, which may also be dated to the early years of Kanishka.

Pineglades Naturist Club is a naturist resort located in Rolleston, some southwest of Christchurch in the South Island of New Zealand.
It is situated on of landscaped parkland and comprises a clubhouse with recreational and camping facilities, an arboretum with nature walks, and approximately 60 baches, of which a small number are available for hire (the remainder being club members' holiday residences).
Pineglades Naturist Club began as the Canterbury Sun and Health Club, a non-landed organization who met in secret to visit secluded beaches in the nude – an activity which was then illegal in New Zealand.
In July 1955 they purchased a block of land at Rolleston (then a small rural township) which had recently suffered a fire.
Clearing and landscaping the block took some years, during which Pineglades Naturist Club became a founding member of the New Zealand Sunbathing Association (now the New Zealand Naturist Federation).
In February 2016, complaints were laid with the Judicial Conduct Commission over photographs on the Club's website of a District Court judge playing pétanque in the nude.
Though the judge's name was never published, the case drew national attention, with negative commentary from former government minister Rodney Hide and the Sensible Sentencing Trust, and support from TV host and fellow naturist Paul Henry.
The Judicial Conduct Commissioner does not report on the outcomes of individual complaints made against judges, and no further action was made public with regard to the case.

The Klepsydra of the Akropolis, Athens (not to be confused with the water clock klepsydra of the Agora) is a natural spring on the north-west slope of the Akropolis hill, near the intersection of the Peripatos and the Panathenaic Way.
It had been in use as a source of water since prehistoric times but sometime in the fifth century BCE the site was developed with several new structures built.
The site consisted of the paved court, a well, the covered well-house, a later Roman apsidal well house (subsequently a Byzantine chapel) and a flight of stone-carved steps up to the propylaea.
Empedo, argues Parsons, was the name of the spring and klepsydra the name given to the water made available by the fountain house.
It was Stuart and Revett who first identified the free-flowing stream on the face of the hill with the klepsydra mentioned by the ancient authors.
During the period of Frankish control, the klepsydra was heavily fortified, however, during the long period of Ottoman occupation the well fell into disuse such that the Turkish garrison of the Akropolis was forced to surrender at the siege of 1822 due to the lack of water.
Archaeological examination began in earnest with Émile Bturnouf in 1874, and with later development having been cleared from the site Kavvadias uncovered the paved court in 1897.
From 1936 to 1940 the American School of Classical Studies at Athens undertook a campaign of excavation, with this the paved court, fountain house and draw basin were fully exposed.
It was from this final excavation that it was determined that the spring house had been set into a natural cave which had collapsed sometime in antiquity.
A shaft was then opened into the well directly accessible from the Akropolis and a new well house constructed above in the Roman period.

It was founded by Mark Zuckerberg, along with fellow Harvard College students and roommates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes, originally as TheFacebook.com—today's Facebook, popular global social networking website.
The document announced that the company had 845 million active monthly users and its website featured 2.7 billion daily likes and comments.

On May 16, one day before the IPO, Facebook announced that it would sell 25% more shares than originally planned due to high demand.
The IPO raised $16 billion, making it the third largest in U.S. history (just ahead of AT&T Wireless and behind only General Motors and Visa).
The stock price left the company with a higher market capitalization than all but a few U.S. corporations – surpassing heavyweights such as Amazon, McDonald's, Disney, and Kraft Foods – and made Zuckerberg's stock worth $19 billion.
Trading in the stock, which began on May 18, was delayed that day due to technical problems with the NASDAQ exchange.
The stock struggled to stay above the IPO price for most of the day, forcing underwriters to buy back shares to support the price.
At closing bell, shares were valued at $38.23, only $0.23 above the IPO price and down $3.82 from the opening bell value.

The US IRS challenged the valuation Facebook used when it transferred IP from the US to Facebook Ireland in 2010 (which Facebook Ireland then revalued higher before charging out), as it was building its double Irish tax structure.
On the basis that Facebook Ireland is paying some tax, the effective minimum US tax for Facebook Ireland will be circa 11%.
In contrast, Facebook Inc. would incur a special IP tax rate of 13.125% (the FDII rate) if its Irish business relocated to the US.
Tax relief in the US (21% vs. Irish at the GILTI rate) and accelerated capital expensing, would make this effective US rate around 12%.
The insignificance of the US/Irish tax difference was demonstrated when Facebook moved 1.5bn non-EU accounts to the US to limit exposure to GDPR.
Facebook is making use of the Double Irish arrangement which allows it to pay just about 2–3% corporation tax on all international revenue.
It is a tributary of the Todd River and, like the Todd River, its naming is associated with Charles Todd; a senior civil servant involved with the Overland Telegraph Line.

Kate Townsend (1839 - November 1, 1883) was a brothel madam during the late nineteenth century in the district of New Orleans that was later to become Storyville.
Her luxurious brothel on Basin Street was the first of a number of upmarket brothels that the street became famed for.
After about 6 months she left Fisher's to work at a house in Canal Street and then in Maggie Thompson's house in Customhouse Street.
With the backing of her influential friends, possibly a high-ranking police official, a recorder and several council members, Townsend had a luxurious brownstone and marble brothel built at 40 Basin Street (later 121 South Basin Street and now 30 Elk Pace).
The house had white marble fireplaces, French chandeliers, furniture made of highly polished black walnut with damask upholstery, velvet carpets and antiques brought from European merchants.
On July 30, 1870 gambler Gus Taney was murdered in the brothel by Jim White following an argument after Townsend had extended Taney credit.
Taney pulled a gun on White, but before he could use it White stabbed him through the heart with a knife.
Although attractive when young, Townsend put on weight in her later years and is reported to weight 300 lb at the time of her death.
The arrangement didn't work well and Townsend had him arrested for forging her signature on cheques to the value of $7,000.
One one occasion she nearly sliced his nose off with a bowie knife that had been given to her by a policeman client and she kept in her reticule for self-defence.
In October 1883 Townsend started to pay a lot of attention to a young gigolo named McLern, who she received in her private rooms.
The next day Townsend was in the kitchen with her head girl, Molly Johnson, when she grabbed a carving knife and started making stabbing motions, saying she was going to open up Sykes belly.
Skyes appeared in the kitchen and Townsend attacked him with a breadboard until be fell to the floor and escaped on his hands and knees.
Townsend, Johnson, McLern and a friend of McLern got drunk on champagne in a nearby cafe, Pizzinis, on the night of November 1.
Townsend kept the kife in her hand and told the others she needed to cut somebody with it, and then said she was going to go home and open Sykes belly and left the cafe, Johnson also left the cafe and when Thompson went to her boudoir, Johnson warned Sykes to keep his door locked and barred.
Philomena, who had now been joined by the cook, Rose Garcia, opened the door and found Townsend lying in a pool of blood.
Sykes had changed his clothes and told the officer he wanted to give himself up and was arrested and taken to the Central Police Station.
Skyes told the police that as soon as he entered the room Townsend had attacked with a knife she had hidden under her pillow.
For the funeral on November 5, the furnishings were covered in white silk and the guests served with champagne, which had been Townsend's wish.
After hearing the testimony of over 20 witnesses, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty of Townsend's murder on the grounds of self-defence.
In February 1884 the court removed him as executor for pocketing some of the money that should have gone to the estate.
This claim was rejected by Judge Houston, who noted that the resemblance between Talley and Townsend was limited to nationality not familial alikeness.
It was built as a private property purposely intended for the then Grand Master of the Order of St John Ramon Perellos y Roccaful and his family.
It is now a private residence, generally not open to the public, and is a landmark on its own as well as part of a heritage trail in the city.
The façade of the building has a number of pears carved in limestone, an unmistakable emblem to the Perellos family coat-of-arms.
This site was chosen in order for the Grand Master to watch from the balcony the end of the procession during St. Gregory’s feast.
A religious niche at the top of the façade is listed on the National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands (NICPMI).
The building is built following the baroque architectural style, with a number of architectural decorations, including a stone balcony resting on four corbels.

The official name of the gap is Temple Bar Gap, which is never used, and Honeymoon Gap is the name for the pass that goes through it.
Honeymoon Gap was originally called Temple Bar by surveyors constructing the Australian Overland Telegraph Line and it was first named by Gilbert McMinn who, alongside William Mills, camped there on the 17th of February 1871.
It is unclear why the name Temple Bar was given, although it likely relates to the original Temple Bar in London.
It is thought that McMinn believed this gap would be the gateway that would enable the telegraph line to pass through, however, only days later he and Mills would find the wider Heavitree Gap where the line would ultimately travel through.
Before the telegraph line was even completed leases were granted for the first cattle stations in Central Australia and on 1 April 1872 Ned Bagot, a contractor on the telegraph line, was given the right to graze cattle from Honeymoon Gap to, almost, the Ross River; no thought was given to how this would impact the Arrernte people.
The name Temple Bar Gap fell out of favour following the site becoming the honeymoon location for Robert (Bob) and Victoria (Vicky) Darken who married at the Alice Springs Methodist Church on 25 June 1942.
Bob Darken was given a week's leave from the army and the couple planned to camp for a week at the gap and borrowed a car and a tent.
It was not until 1981 that the name of the pass was officially changed to Honeymoon Gap and, in 2004, the NT Place Names Committee agreed that, despite not being used, the official name of the gap should remain Temple Bar Gap.

E. lessons, refuses to let her father use his car after he paid for her cleaning the windscreen, and uses mirrors in exams to cheat, among other things.
On the way to plan her next get-rich-quick scheme, she spots a poster for a missing cat, offering a £10 reward.
The mother of the missing cat's owner answers the front door when Fedora goes to deliver but her daughter, Angela Tearful, runs out past her mother, excited that she is about to reunite with her cat, and sobs when she sees the black stray.
The black stray is given a makeover with paints, boot polish and other things Fedora can find until it matched the description on the poster.

His father rushes in angrily and checks the window—it was closed—but only his mother admits that she can smell the sardine, despite his father finding a sardine tin.
shouts his father, and then explains to his confused wife that Peeler was a character from a nursery rhyme that he remembers from childhood.
He leaves the room, followed by his wife, demanding that Alexander never bothers them again for the rest of the night.
The window latch reopens and a man dressed in tweed clothing and holding a butterfly net creeps in with strange-looking butterflies surrounding him.
He moves to Alexander's bedside and explains that he wants to help the boy stay awake, and takes out a key that opens sardine tins.
With the key, he peels off Alexander's eyelids and uses the net to catch the rest of his butterflies, and dissects them into eyelids to stick onto his face, with Alexander's on the top.
He floats into the air as he gloats, reopens the window and flies out, leaving Alexander with no eyelids, unable to sleep again.
The bully in question was Johnny Bullneck, a pale-skinned, overweight and angry-looking twelve-year-old who enjoyed interrogating students at random and torturing them if one of their answers displeased him.
One anecdote featured Bullneck ordering a boy named Miles to sneak out of school and look for three gallons of polka dot paint; the narrator adds that they and the rest of school believe that Miles was too embarrassed to return empty-handed because after he obeyed, he was never seen again, and was rumoured to have relocated to Darlington.
A girl briefly confronted Bullneck and snatched Timothy's glasses out of his hand so Bullneck decided to take the trumpet case instead.
Timothy roared at Bullneck and held the trumpet case tightly, snapping Bullneck into a sulking silence for a week and stunning the petrified audience into awe.
Bullneck's gang jumped out of the shadows to roll him through mud and tie him up, positioning him in front of the goal net.
Bullneck appeared and gloated about having the upper hand, taking Timothy's glasses and trumpet case as he explained his revenge plan: attempting to play Timothy's trumpet as his gang throws cricket balls at Timothy like a firing squad.
Bullneck put on the glasses and took out the trumpet, and began to play as Timothy tried to see through his blurry vision.
Back in 1952, Algie visited his aunt Fanny and uncle Herbert, with his pet dog Stinker and his best friend Col, in Kent for their summer holidays.
Aunt Fanny offers to pack them scones and Herbert's tomatoes; Ginger and Alice's mother gives them gingerbread men, and Sam's mother gives them a Victoria sponge cake.
They decide to open the hamper and eat despite the time being 11am and find scones covered in clotted cream, sardine sandwiches, a tin of spam, ginger beer and Uncle Herbert's tomatoes, along with the other families' donations.

Col suggests fishing from a string in his pocket and a stick he could look for by the riverbank but the ultimate decision is given to Alice, who wants an apple from the orchard.
Col is hesitant to scrump but Ginger and Algie point out that the orchard is too big for the owner to notice four missing apples.
Being the tallest, Sam allows Algie to walk up her back and pick the apples, and the four children begin to eat.
Stinker leaps at the farmer to protect the children and Tregowan shoots him in the chest, killing him in point-blank range.
The children attempt to apologise, even consenting to corporal punishment but Tregowan points out that it would not bring the four apples back, so he has to squeeze every drop of juice out of them.
He gathers their bodies onto his tractor and drives to his fruit press, where he crushes their corpses and drains out the juice for cider.

A boardroom of the Squarebrush Sou'wester chocolate factory is celebrating its improved sales for the year when an employee alerts them to a fly that has been seen around the factory lines.
The directors order production to be ceased until the fly is found but it had already laid its eggs in an open Easter chocolate bunny and flown out of an open window.
The affected bunny is bought by the mother of Serena Slurp, a stubborn chocoholic who will eat chocolate from anywhere, even stealing other people's or licking chocolate wrappers she finds.
One day, Serena catches her with the top of the handle broken off and threatens to tell their mother unless Eli agrees to be her slave.
Eli is forced to make Serena's meals, bring her chocolate with a wheelbarrow and fold her clothes; Serena would always take the broken fly swatter with her to blackmail Eli with whenever her demands were refused.
The mother is seemingly oblivious to the situation, only making an appearance to scold Serena for eating too much chocolate whenever Serena had locked herself in the bathroom to vomit.
Serena is ballistic because her chocolate supply is ruined and Eli cannot find any shops that have any bars and packets available.
The maggot that hatches from the egg grows inside her, feeding off the undigested chocolate inside Serena's stomach, and slowly merges with her DNA.
She runs away in terror and the fly follows her, begging her not to panic because it is still her sister Serena.
Eli flees to the living room, grabs the fly swatter and beats it to death with one strike; the fly's corpse lands in front of her in a black pile.
Science nerds are the most shunned people in school, so confessed nerd, Willard, left his science interests at home and spends schooltime pretending to be the most talented, namedropping, and globetrotting boy in the world.
Some students struggle to find an impressive answer to not embarrass themselves, but Willard scoffs at every confession, adding that he stole the Sun.
Through the crowd of impressed murmurs, a girl calls him a liar and points out that the sun is still in the sky.
The girl continues to accuse him of lying and the crowd disperses, realising that Willard was not as interesting as they had believed for so long.
Despite basing a reputation on far-fetched lying in school, he struggles to lie to his mother on the spot but she does not notice and allows him to borrow empty jam jars.
Willard takes the jars and his telescope to a sunny field and captures sunbeam particles by angling the telescope's magnifying end towards the sun and placing the jars underneath the eyepiece, which he examines under his microscope back in his bedroom.
He continues the process throughout the weekend until the entirety of the sun is hiding in jam jars under his bed.
Throughout, his parents would refer to articles in the newspaper about scientists from around the world's concerns over the shrinking sun, when he was out of earshot; and comment on the early sunsets, and Willard's boiling hot bedroom.
On Monday, Willard gathers his jars into a rucksack and staggers to school feeling triumphant that he was about to save his reputation; a sign on the school gates reports that the school is closed due to frozen pipes.
Willard struggles to improvise a few lies by claiming that he had built a time machine and had travelled back to a time when the sun was still in the sky so he could visit Australia, but when he came back to the present he had disposed of the machine.
His father is disappointed that Willard had made a time machine and never decided to show it to the rest of the family as his mother reads the newspaper.
She finds an interview with the chief of the local police, who alleges that Willard is the person who stole the sun because of his illuminating bedroom.
He puts on oven gloves, opens his window and throws the sunbeam particles out of it, and pulls at his carpet to scoop other particles and tips the contents out with the rest as his parents knock harshly outside.
When the last of the sunbeams are out, all the hovering particles mould together into a sphere outside of the window and explode, burning Willard alive as the reformed and recharged sun floats away towards the atmosphere.
He is always competing against Anthony St. John Smythe, who is always winning races and enjoys waiting for Ollie to cross the finish line to gloat about winning at him.
After embarrassing himself at another track race, Ollie is approached by an old man, who offers to train him into a successful athlete that will stop Anthony's boasting and put his name at the top of the running leagues; although unconvinced, Ollie accepts.
The next day, Ollie arrives at the stadium after school and is amazed to see the old man sprinting around the race track.
When the old man finishes, he gives Ollie his training schedule: at the end of every school day, Ollie must go to the supermarket and buy soup, take it to the old man's house and cook it, and then clean up after dinner.
They formerly belonged to Tommy Knock, a boy that was one of the best track runners in the county 50 years ago, who failed to win a race that would cement the title.
He wins the semi-final race and appears on the front cover of a magazine for young athletes, which is purchased by the St. John Smythe family.
Anthony, who is due to appear in the final with Ollie, is suspicious over Ollie's sudden success but is so furious that he eats some of the magazine pages.
Ollie tries to chase him but cannot move because his clothes are stuck to the seat, thanks to Anthony's secret glue container.
Ollie decides to forfeit the race and begins to cry, terrified that he will embarrass himself without his shoes but the old man convinces him to race and admits that he was going to give the shoes to Anthony anyway.
Ollie accuses his mentor of betraying him but walks out to join the race, clothes ripped from being freed from the seat and with no shoes on.
The old man explains that Anthony's death was the reason why Knock could not win his final race in 1941 because he was killed by a Luftwaffe bomb that landed in front of him as he was about to cross the finish line.

Mrs Cluck asks for hair rollers, one of their children wants a hoverboard and Mr Cluck asks for replacement golf clubs.
The cowboy orders the villagers to destroy their mirrors and dump the glass in a ring surrounding the village, burn all their shoes and cover themselves in ketchup and mustard.
The Dorks try to run but realise that they could not run over the glass ring with no shoes on and Nigel eats all the villagers and the buildings, and leaves with his son for Bombay.

Lorelei Lee never goes to school because she pretends to be ill every weekday, and her family believes it, no matter how implausible.
During school holidays and weekends, she makes miraculous recoveries but will suddenly feel unwell on Sundays or the last day of holiday and cannot go to school for a week.
Moribundus and the night nurse enter Lorelei Lee's bedroom and Lorelei Lee protests that she is fine but the two guests ignore her, preparing their equipment.
The night nurse turns her over to cover her back in leeches and then rubs poultice mustard all over her body, as Loraliliee screamed that she was healthy and promised to go to school every day.
Lorelei Lee points out that brain surgery seemed unconventional but Moribundus replies that his method is alternate too and takes out a giant injection from his medical kit.
Moribundus saws off the top of her head and digs around her brain with a teaspoon, pulling out a piece (which is said to be the part of her brain that makes her play sick) and eating it.
Still traumatised from Moribundus' visit, and with a hole still in her tongue as a souvenir, the epilogue reveals that she even hides common colds from her parents in case the witch doctor returns to her house, but had to stay home for a morning when a breeze blew the top of her head open so her head could be stapled shut.
A lisping Lorelei Lee suggests being injected in the head making the teacher laugh as he stroked his beard, which looked similar to Moribundus' thin, black one.

On the day of his sister's birthday, Lord and Lady Delaunay de Havilland De Trop had hired a children's entertainer, Mr Frankenstein the Ventriloquist, for her birthday party.
The suitcase is opened to reveal a ventriloquist dummy, which jumps out of the box to latch itself onto Jack's body and warns him to run away.
Jack believes it to be a trick at first but Frankenstein adamantly claims that the dummy is magic and says that he can teach Jack about the powers of the Elders of the Black Circle, giving him an address card to a joke shop in Great Pessaries.
A back door creaks and Jack looks in the room to call for Frankenstein as he looks at the creepy ornaments on the shelves, with eyes that followed him whenever his back was turned.
He turns to leave but stops when he sees decapitated heads of children hanging from wires over 30 transparent tanks of formaldehyde.
Frankenstein walks in, in the middle of sewing a new dummy, and picks up an axe as Jack begs for mercy.

Su is an expert in sexual dimorphism across species and her research in Diptera has shown how it is affected by ecological and molecular mechanisms.
The genera has only thirteen species, so the discovery of an additional species is highly notable, particularly because its location is in one of the most intensely populated cities in the world.
Su has researched mating behaviours in several species, but her most significant work is on flies and how genetic and social processes produce sexual dimorphism.
Su has studied the link between mating call and genetics in South-East Asian anuran (frog) populations and male and female courtship behaviour in jumping spiders.
This research has shown that genetic links between certain courtship behaviours can be seen within in species, which has an impact on our understanding of evolution.
Working within international scientific programmes, Su's research into the evolution of sepsid flies, has a particular emphasis on functional change and sexual dimorphism in sepsid species.
Su completed her doctoral research at Aix-Marseille University, France, after completing her BA and MA at the National University of Singapore.
Prior to joining academia he worked for a number of Engineering companies including G. Maunsell & Partners and Mott MacDonald during the course of which he designed a number of bridges.

Robert Piloty (6 June 1924, in Munich – 21 January 2013) was a German computer scientist and former Professor of Communications Processing at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Technische Universität Darmstadt.
He was one of the pioneers in the construction of program-controlled computer systems and the founding father of computer science courses in Germany.
As a member of the advisory board and chairman of the commission for the introduction of computer science studies in Germany, he was significantly involved in the introduction and design of computer science studies throughout Germany.
As a member of the general assembly and vice president of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), Piloty had represented German computer science internationally for many years.
His research has covered a wide range of areas, from microwave technology, computer-aided circuit design and hardware description languages (HDLs) to design databases.
The PERM project under the overall direction of his father Hans Piloty and his mathematician colleague Robert Sauer established the necessary hardware and software basis for many further research projects in the then emerging field of computer science.
The PERM was used for many years in the computer center of the TU Munich and in the training of development engineers for the German computer industry.
After the end of the PERM activities, Robert Piloty went to Zurich in 1955 as deputy head of the IBM research laboratory and in 1957 took over the management of system planning at the German company Standard Elektrik Lorenz in Stuttgart.
In 1961, he became an associate professor at TU Munich and in 1964 was appointed Professor of Communications Processing at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Technische Universität Darmstadt (TU Darmstadt).
The idea spread quickly and a large number of languages were developed, so that an exchange was very difficult in the end.
That is why Piloty founded the international Consensus Language (COLAN) Working Group in 1975 as part of the IFIP with the aim of creating a basis for standardization.
There was already another curriculum, which came from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics and provided for a stronger emphasis on software engineering.
However, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering was the driving force, which is why in the same year the first computer science course of study in Germany was established at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering on the basis of Pilotys and Oppelts study regulations.
In the spring of 1969, Hartmut Wedekind and Robert Piloty had travelled through the USA together for several weeks to study the faculties of computer science there.
This conference met for the first time on 15 May 1972, so that on that day the Department of Computer Science was officially established.

Born in Copenhagen on 25 January 1891, Gunna Breuning-Storm was the daughter of the physician Hoter Axel Breuning-Storm (1849–1923) and Gabriele Sophie Borchorst (1863–1921).
She studied the violin from an early age under Johannes Schiørring (1869–1951) and later under Torben Anton Svendsen (1904–1980), completing her education in Berlin under Henri Marteau.
After moving to Berlin, she débuted there in 1910 and went on to perform as a soloist in Germany's main cities.
She performed with the Berlin Philharmonic under Arthur Nikisch, Max Reger and Felix Weingartner and played at the court for Empress Augusta Viktoria.
She also gave a number of concerts in Sweden in 1916, including one featuring the composer Emil Sjögren with whom she played his sonatas for violin and piano.
Back in Denmark, in 1918 she accompanied the court pianist Johanne Stockmarr and was appointed court violinist, becoming the only women to receive the honour.
From 1926, she was the orchestra's conductor for the next 30 years, also maintaining the orchestra's educational role as a lively, enthusiastic teacher.
She also continued to perform as a soloist, on one occasion causing quite a stir by performing nine of the most famous violin concertos over three consecutive evenings.
Breuning-Storm is also remembered for playing first violin in the Breuning-Bache Quartet which gave its first performance in 1919 and continued to play until 1956.

The perturbed γ-γ angular correlation, PAC for short or PAC-Spectroscopy, is a method of nuclear solid-state physics with which magnetic and electric fields in crystal structures can be measured.
With this very sensitive method, which requires only about 10-1000 billion atoms of a radioactive isotope per measurement, material properties in the local structure, phase transitions, magnetism and diffusion can be investigated.
The PAC method is related to nuclear magnetic resonance and the Mössbauer effect, but shows no signal attenuation at very high temperatures.
However, it was recognized early on that electric and magnetic fields interact with the nuclear moment, providing the basis for a new form of material investigation: nuclear solid-state spectroscopy.
After Abragam and Pound published their work on the theory of PAC in 1953 including extra nuclear fields, many studies with PAC were carried out afterwards.
In the 1960s and 1970s, interest in PAC experiments sharply increased, focusing mainly on magnetic and electric fields in crystals into which the probe nuclei were introduced.
While until about 2008 PAC instruments used conventional high-frequency electronics of the 1970s, in 2008 Christian Herden and Jens Röder et al.
Immediately thereafter, the cadmium nucleus is predominantly in the excited 7/2+ nuclear spin and only to a very small extent in the 11/2- nuclear spin, the latter should not be considered further.
Since the intermediate state decays according to the laws of radioactive decay, one obtains an exponential curve with the lifetime of this intermediate state after plotting the frequency over time.
Due to the non-spherically symmetric radiation of the second γ-quantum, the so-called anisotropy, which is an intrinsic property of the nucleus in this transition, it comes with the surrounding electrical and/or magnetic fields to a periodic disorder (hyperfine interaction).
The illustration of the individual spectra on the right shows the effect of this disturbance as a wave pattern on the exponential decay of two detectors, one pair at 90° and one at 180° to each other.
According to the number n of detectors, the number of individual spectra (z) results after z=n²-n, for n=4 therefore 12 and for n=6 thus 30.
In order to obtain a PAC spectrum, the 90° and 180° single spectra are calculated in such a way that the exponential functions cancel each other out and, in addition, the different detector properties shorten themselves.
In crystals, due to the high regularity of the arrangement of the atoms or ions, the environments are identical or very similar, so that probes on identical lattice sites experience the same hyperfine field or magnetic field, which then becomes measurable in a PAC spectrum.
On the other hand, for probes in very different environments, such as in amorphous materials, a broad frequency distribution or no is usually observed and the PAC spectrum appears flat, without frequency response.
With single crystals, depending on the orientation of the crystal to the detectors, certain transition frequencies can be reduced or extinct, as can be seen in the example of the PAC spectrum of zinc oxide (ZnO).
In the typical PAC spectrometer, a setup of four 90° and 180° planar arrayed detectors or six octahedral arrayed detectors are placed around the radioactive source sample.
In classical instruments these signals are amplified and processed in logical AND/OR circuits in combination with time windows the different detector combinations (for 4 detectors: 12, 13, 14, 21, 23, 24, 31, 32, 34, 41, 42, 43) assigned and counted.
Modern digital spectrometers use digitizer cards that directly use the signal and convert it into energy and time values and store them on hard drives.
In the case of probes with complex cascades, this makes it makes it possible to perform a data optimization or to evaluate several cascades in parallel, as well as measuríng different probes simultaneously.
For the observation of clear perturbation frequencies it is necessary, due to the statistical method, that a certain proportion of the probe atoms are in a similar environment and e.g.
Furthermore, during the time window between the start and stop, or approximately 5 half-lives of the intermediate state, the direction of the electric field gradient must not change.
In liquids, therefore, no interference frequency can be measured as a result of the frequent collisions, unless the probe is complexed in large molecules, such as in proteins.
In PAC measurements, this is shown by the decrease of the crystalline frequency component in a reduction of the amplitude (attenuation).
The radioactive samples each have an activity of 0.1-5 MBq, which is in the order of the exemption limit for the respective isotope.
How the PAC isotopes are brought into the sample to be examined is up to the experimenter and the technical possibilities.
Due to the kinetic energy of the ions (1-500 keV) these fly into the crystal lattice and are slowed down by impacts.
If, on the other hand, radiation defects in the crystal and their healing are to be examined, unperseived samples are measured, which are then annealed step by step.
The radioactive probe is applied to a hot plate or filament, where it is brought to the evaporation temperature and condensed on the opposite sample material.
In the diffusion method, the radioactive probe is usually diluted in a solvent applied to the sample, dried and it is diffused into the material by tempering it.
The solution with the radioactive probe should be as pure as possible, since all other substances can diffuse into the sample and affect thereby the measurement results.
PAC probes may also be added during the synthesis of sample materials to achieve the most uniform distribution in the sample.
This method is particularly well suited if, for example, the PAC probe diffuses only poorly in the material and a higher concentration in grain boundaries is to be expected.
In neutron activation, the probe is prepared directly from the sample material by converting very small part of one of the elements of the sample material into the desired PAC probe or its parent isotope by neutron capture.
Rarely used are direct nuclear reactions in which nuclei are converted into PAC probes by bombardment by high-energy elementary particles or protons.
The currently largest PAC laboratory in the world is located at ISOLDE in CERN with about 10 PAC instruments, that receives its major funding form BMBF.
Detecting this quantum in a detector selects a subset with an orientation of the many possible directions that has a given.
The goal is to measure the relative probability formula_7 with the detection of formula_8 at the fixed angle formula_9 in relation to formula_10.
formula_20 is the anisotropy coefficient that depends on the angular momentum of the intermediate state and the multipolarities of the transition.
the time between formula_10 and formula_8, the core experiences a disturbance due to the hyperfine interaction through its electrical and magnetic environment.
Due to the electrical and magnetic interaction, the angular momentum of the intermediate state formula_17 experiences a torque about its axis of symmetry.
The interaction occurs between the magnetic core dipole moment formula_29 and the intermediate state formula_16 or/and an external magnetic field formula_31.
The energy of the hyperfine electrical interaction between the charge distribution of the core and the extranuclear static electric field can be extended to multipoles.
Because formula_64 can be determined much more accurately than formula_67, it is not useful to specify only formula_32 because of the error propagation.
This means that measurements of two different isotopes of the same element can be compared, such as Hg(5/2−), Hg(5/2−) and Hg(9/2−).
As far as the magnetic dipole interaction is concerned, the electrical quadrupole interaction also induces a precision of the angular correlation in time and this modulates the quadrupole interaction frequency.
The relative amplitudes of the various components depend on the orientation of the electric field gradient relative to the detectors (symmetry axis) and the asymmetry parameter formula_51.
For a probe with different probe nuclei, one needs a parameter that allows a direct comparison: Therefore, the quadrupole coupling constant formula_64 independent of the nuclear spin formula_86 is introduced.
If there is a magnetic and electrical interaction at the same time on the radioactive nucleus as described above, combined interactions result.
These then depend in each case on the direction of the electric and magnetic field to each other in the crystal.
If the hyperfine field fluctuates during the lifetime formula_87 of the intermediate level due to jumps of the probe into another lattice position or from jumps of a near atom into another lattice position, the correlation is lost.
In 8th generation of Prithvi Raj, Raja Anandpal’s descendant Bachhal came from Bhirani in Rajasthan to Litani (Hisar) in 1387 AD and after staying one night over here made his permanent settlement at Danauda (Jind).
Leaving Bhirani: Thakur Deshraj has written that the reason for leaving Bhirani is described in such a way that a young man Balasar (Bikanerilaka) I was married He went to his in-laws.
So the widow of that young man taunted that Nain was All are dead, why else would they give up their boy's revenge.
Chaudhary Harishchandra ji states that among his ancestors, Raju Ladhasar, Dula Bachhara, Kalu Malupura, Hukama Keu, and Lalu were inhabited in Binjasar.
Thakur Deshraj   has written that Nainasi had two sons, Chuhad's Chokha and Lalu had two sons, Chokha's Fatta and Moola had two boys.

After his appointment as commander-in-chief of Army Group Upper Rhine, reichsführer Heinrich Himmler formed the headquarters of the XIV SS Army Corps in November 1944.
The Corps was given the task of attacking and pinning the American units at Gambsheim at the start of Operation Nordwind, so that they could not be used as reinforcements against the main attack, which would be deployed more to the north.
In the night of 4 to 5 January 1945, the 553rd People's Grenadier Division crossed the Rhine near Gambsheim, where the Moder and Zorn rivers merge.
Because most US units of the 6th Army Corps fought in the north and thanks to the help of the pro-German population, the Germans were able to quickly extend their bridgehead to Kilstett, Herrlisheim and Offendorf.
General Alexander Patch, commander of the 7th US Army, ordered the newly arrived 12th Armored Division to destroy the bridgehead on 8 January.
On 14 January 1945, the XIV SS Army Corps received the 3rd SS Panzer Battalion of the 10th SS Armored Division, led by SS-Brigadeführer Heinz Harmel.
On the southern edge, the 3rd French Infantry Division expelled the 553rd Volksgrenadiers Division from Kilstett and by 21 January, the German offensive came to an end.
In the East, the Soviet Vistula–Oder Offensive had broken out and several German units were sent from the West to the endangered Eastern front.
The headquarters of the XIV SS Army Corps were dissolved and the staff formed the X SS Corps that was sent to Pommern.
Maria Petyt was born in Hazebrouck on January 1, 1623 in the French part of Flanders near Dunkirk in present-day France to parents who owned a fabric shop.
Tragedy struck the young family numerous times: two sisters died while young, another died while only a teenager and her half-brother Ignace died by drowning.
After a bout with smallpox at age eight, Maria was left with many facial marks, but despite these trials she remained an enthusiastic child, full of wit and joy.
It was while preparing for her first communion at the age of 10, that Maria made a vow to become a nun and to consecrate herself to God.
Instead she became a nun with Carmelite Third Order and took the name Marie of Saint Theresa (in French, Marie de Sainte Thérèse).

The Association for Women's Art and Gender Research in Israel is a non-profit organization that works to research women and gender in Israeli art, and to provide support for women artists, curators, researchers and cultural organizers.
The Association for Women's Art and Gender Research in Israel was founded in 2015 by art historian Ruth Markus, with founding members Tal Dekel, Dalia Danon, Ruthi Hinsky-Amitai, Orna Noy-Lanir, Mor Presiado and Hagit Shahal – who all serve on the association's board.
Markus was chairperson until December 2017, and was then replaced by Dekel who is the current chair, as of the end of 2019.
The motivations for the establishment of the association were many researches that proved the exclusion of women artists from Israeli art history, including from exhibiting in museums and being part of the curricula of art studies, while concurrently, gender studies were pushed to the margins of most Israeli arts programs, if they even existed.
Its membership includes artists, scholars, curators, art institution managers and the like, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, or any other identity category, who are interested in gender-related subject in Israeli art.
Creators from other fields of art, such as music, film and television, photography, theater and more are also accepted as members.
The association's activities focus on two main areas: The first area is research and documentation – developing the discipline of gender research in Israeli art programs, and collecting and disseminating information about women artists and gender research in the arts.
The second is providing support for women artists and creating a supportive community for them and for curators, researchers and cultural organizers in Israel.
The varied activities of the association aim to create a stage for artists, curators and researchers, document the existence and contribution of women artists historically and contemporarily, and provide assistance for research endeavors and special projects.
The association holds a biannual national conferences in collaboration with the Faculty of Arts at Tel Aviv University on women and gender in the arts in Israel, and with the support of the Ziffer House Archive: Documentation and Research Center of Israeli Visual Arts and the TIAF Israeli Art Research Foundation.
Each of the two-day conferences includes lectures by senior researchers and researchers in the fields of gender and women in the arts in Israel.
The first conference was held in 2017 and the second conference was held in 2019, with the next conference planned for 2021.
In addition, the association organizes a series of art and gender meetings throughout the year, which are open to the general public.
The first series was held at the Kibbutzim College in 2018, and the second series took place at Tel Aviv University in 2019.
The association also conducts collaborations and seminars with cultural institutions, including with the Peace Gallery in Givat Haviva; and the Haifa Museum of Art, where a seminar was held on the female body following the Chana Orloff exhibition.
The exhibit was widely attended and generated public and critical interest, and as a result, one of the artists, Hannah Levy, was offered a solo exhibit of her work at the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art.
As part of the goal of documentation, the association teamed up with the Tel Aviv Wiki Women initiative, to add articles about women artists to Wikipeidia.
Another collaboration is with the academic journal, Migdar (Gender), which published a special issue dedicated to art, edited by association chair Tal Dekel.

Architect Clarence Hatzfeld designed the original house in the American Foursquare style, a popular vernacular style of the early twentieth century.
Like many other Foursquare homes, the house had a square shape and was topped by a hip roof with a dormer.
In the mid-1920s, architect Andrew E. Norman designed an addition for the front of the house; this addition was inspired by the Better Homes movement, which sought to bring high-level architecture to working-class homes.
The addition replaced the original front porch with a semi-circular porch supported by its original columns, distinguishing the house from its neighbors.
Initially convicted of a 1991 robbery-murder in Tashkent, he was released in 2003, moving to Russia, where five years later, he murdered a trio of fishermen during an argument in Penza Oblast.
He then moved to Mokshan, where his mother was living, but failed to receive either Russian or Uzbekistani citizenship, and was unemployed.
On October 12, 2008, Dmitry, together with a group of friends, went to drink vodka at a little pond near the village of Krutets, in the Kolyshleysky District.
When they arrived, they saw a small group of fishermen on the other side of the pond: 66-year-old Azerbaijani Alexander Glukhov, locals Alexander Kocherov and Nazir Abdullaev (36 and 24, respectively), and another man, A. Pivkin.
After both parties had drunk quite extensively, they started arguing and insulting each other, with one of fishermen calling Golubev a homosexual.
Refusing to back down, he got a knife stashed in the car and attacked the trio, stabbing Abdullaev 19 times, killing him.
Ultimately, he also stabbed Glukhov (who had nothing to do with the quarrel) while he was sleeping in the car, inflicting a total of 23 stab wounds on him (9 in the abdomen, 9 in the head and the rest in other parts of the body).
A timeline was constructed around the events, and the Investigative Department implemented a variety of measures through the region so they could catch the perpetrator.
Following some questioning, Dmitry confessed that he was responsible, but didn't give a testimony, as he claimed he was unable to remember the events.
He had psychological and psychiatric examinations conducted on him by the Serbsky Center in Moscow, and experts concluded that he was well-aware of his actions, and was trying to derail the investigation.

The construction of the barracks was begun after the remilitarization of the Rhineland (1936) in 1937/38 in the course of the German re-armament in the demilitarized zone established by the peace treaty of Versailles for the security of France and named after Hugo von Kathen, the last military governor of the fortress of Mainz.
Responsible was the Wehrkreisverwaltung XII in Wiesbaden, which ran the process together with Robert Barth, the National Socialist mayor of Mainz.
Mombach had already been incorporated to Mainz in 1907, and in 1937 the then independent community of Gonsenheim was faced with the choice of either paying the development costs for the garrison's new barracks or being incorporated.
In the course of the bombing of Mainz in World War II, the area was bombed several times during the following war.
After the repair, the French military authorities took over the barracks and named it after General Charles Mangin, who after the First World War was commander-in-chief of the French occupying army on the Rhine based in Mainz.
Gottfried Lenzen, the director of the military construction office in Mainz, was entrusted with the execution of the construction tasks for the occupying troops.
American soldiers, their families and their housing estates, NCO Club, ballpark, Bowling Alley and the Panzerwerk on the border to Mombach shaped the Gonsenheim townscape for the next decades.

During the first construction phase, a project community with several property developers - including Wohnbau Mainz - built around 800 residential units in which almost 2000 people live.
An approximately 2.3 ha large district park at Willy-Brandt-Platz, the former drill ground, was laid out as the green centre of the residential area.
More than 200 apartments with a total living space of over 16,300 m² were built in the preserved buildings of the former Kathen barracks.

Carol A. Corrado is an American economist who was the former chief of industrial output at the Federal Reserve Board and currently serves as a senior advisor and research director in economics on The Conference Board.
She serves as a member of the executive committee for the National Bureau of Economic Research's (NBER) conference on research on income and wealth.
She is a senior policy scholar at Georgetown University McDonough School of Business Centre for Business and Public Policy where she focuses on economics of growth and innovation as well as fiscal and monetary policies.
In addition to these positions, Corrado is involved with the American Statistical Association as well as the Technical Advisory Committee of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Carol Corrado attended Hershey High School in Hershey, Pennsylvania before she began her undergraduate degree in 1965 at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where she received a B.S.
After her time at Carnegie Mellon, Corrado began her PhD in 1970 at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, where in 1976 she obtained a PhD in Economics.
Much of her research addresses the changing digital economy and the role that information and communication technology (ICT) has had on economic and productivity growth.
Further, a large portion of her work with The Conference Board has been on the topic of the knowledge economy and the role of intangible assets in driving innovation and growth on both the microeconomic and macroeconomic level.
She points out that the current measure is susceptible to double counting and does not account for necessary market weights which is currently measured by prices.
She points out that many believe innovation in EU countries is decreasing and more innovation is necessary in order to fix destabilized economies.
Corrado addresses these beliefs by breaking down what exactly innovation is and how can it be measured as well as observing the role and value of policy in innovation.
She finds that current measures of innovation are too ambiguous and are in need of additional measures that together form a more complete framework.
She notes that innovation has largely shifted from being tangible to intangible, a reality important to consider when analyzing modern growth and innovation.
As a result, she proposes a new model of measurement that takes into account intangible investment within the framework of computerized information, innovative property, and economic competencies in addition to the already measured intangibles of research and development, and software.
From this measurement Corrado finds that in the United States intangible capital accounts for half of their total capital deepening where as in the EU countries it only accounts for 23.8%.
Subsequently, she points out that all variables which mediate the monetization of countries investment in knowledge will be imperative factors contributing to the future growth and innovation in EU countries.
They propose a variety of new approaches and necessary factors that should be included in calculations of capital in order to create more accurate measures of capital in the changing economy.
Corrado was the first place recipient of the Indigo Prize in 2017 for her work calculating the remaining GDP for the 21st century, additionally, she has received a special achievement award from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in 1998.
In 2003 Corrado was awarded the Julius Shiskin award from the American Statistical Association for her statistical work regarding industrial production, capacity measurement, productivity measurement and information technology output and prices.

Yakshas seem to have been the object of an important cult in the early periods of Indian history, many of them being known such as Kubera, king of the Yakshas, Manibhadra or Mudgarpani.
The Yakshas are a broad class of nature-spirits, usually benevolent, but sometimes mischievous or capricious, connected with water, fertility, trees, the forest, treasure and wilderness, and were the object of popular worship.
Some of the earliest works of art of the Mathura school of art are the Yakshas, monumental sculptures of earth divinities that have been dated to the 2nd-1st century BCE.
Yakshas became the focus of the creation of colossal cultic images, typically around 2 meters or more in height, which are considered as probably the first Indian anthropomorphic productions in stone.
Although few ancient Yaksha statues remain in good condition, the vigor of the style has been applauded, and expresses essentially Indian qualities.
The inscription in Brahmi script on the base of the statue is in very bad condition, but has been partly deciphered.
A also shows a similar Mudgarpani, dated to the same period, but with clearer attributes: especially the figure of a small standing devotee or child joining hands in prayer is much more visible.
It is often suggested that the style of the colossal Yaksha statuary had an important influence on the creation of later divine images and human figures in India.
The female equivalent of the Yashas were the Yashinis, often associated with trees and children, and whose voluptuous figures became omnipresent in Indian art.
Some Hellenistic influence, such as the geometrical folds of the drapery or the walking stance of the statues, has been suggested.
In the production of colossal Yaksha statues carved in the round, which can be found in several locations in northern India, the art of Mathura is considered as the most advanced in quality and quantity during this period.

The is the collective name for an oil extraction zone distributed in the southeastern hills of Akiha-ku, Niigata, Japan (formerly the city of Nitsu), covering an area of approximately 6 kilometers in width and 16 kilometers in length.
In 1874, the Nakano clan, the local village headman, applied to the Meiji government for a permit to commercially mine the crude oil, and hand-pumping operations began almost immediately.
This operation was later taken over by Nippon Oil (now JXTG Nippon Oil & Energy) and with the industrialization of Japan in the Meiji and Taisho periods, demand for petroleum skyrocketed and over 100 small companies began drilling for oil in this area.
The crude oil of Niitsu is deep black to deep green in color, with high viscosity, high sulfur and high acid content, and low in paraffin.
However, with the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894 and the Russo-Japanese War in 1904 and improvements in refining technology, Niitsu heavy oil and machine oil grew in demand.

Her research focuses on infant pain, using non-invasive neuroimaging techniques to improve understanding and measurement of pain in preterm (premature) and term infants.
In this regard, she has established the Paediatric Neuroimaging Group (c. 2013), which aims ultimately to improve neonatal care through developing quantitative neuroimaging measures of pain in infants and translation to clinical practice.
Slater established the Paediatric Neuroimaging Group at the University of Oxford in 2013 as an Associate Professor of Paediatric Neuroimaging, which she continues to lead.
She is also a Senior Wellcome Trust Research Fellow, was awarded a Statutory Chair in Paediatric Neuroimaging in 2019, and has been a Professorial Fellow at St John's College since 2019.
She measures the blood flow changes in the brain during clinically required blood tests using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and compares it to the blood flow during non-painful tactile stimulation.
This EEG measure was then developed by Slater and her research group into a general EEG template for measuring pain response in infants - a significant step towards using objective neuroimaging tools to evaluate pain experience in infants - which has been used to validate pain relief interventions for infants during clinical procedures.
She is an advocate for neuroimaging tools for objective measurement of infant pain, and has demonstrated that brain activity could be more sensitive to pain responses in infants than other common assessment tools.
As well as work directly within her research group, she is a collaborator on the developing Human Connectome Project (dHCP), a large-scale multi-centre project to develop the first developmental map of human brain connectivity between 20–44 weeks of age, that will include and link imaging, clinical, behavioural and genetic information.
She is part of a collaboration to develop wearable magnetoencephalography (MEG) scanners for children, described by Physics World as one of the Top 10 Breakthroughs of the Year for 2019.
One research study published in April 2015 involved infants, accompanied by their parents, being gently poked with a rod-like device while being scanned by MRIs to measure and understand infant pain.
With her research group, she has produced several videos for a public audience to communicate research in infant pain and neuroimaging as well as developing artwork and games in collaboration with artists, and her group is very active at public engagement events and science festivals such as the Cheltenham Science Festival.
She has also appeared on BBC News, and in articles by the BBC, The Guardian, and Scientific American to communicate advances in measuring and managing infant pain.

Ivan Jerome Hill (born March 30, 1961) is an American serial killer, responsible for at least 9 murders in different suburbs of Los Angeles from 1986 to 1994.
He also committed at least one of the Southside Slayer murders in South Los Angeles, and investigators suspect he's been involved in more.
Shortly before Christmas in 1968, Hill's father shot his mother in the face with a .22 caliber rifle, and was sent to prison.
Due to financial difficulties, Hill's mother had to work two jobs, forcing Ivan to take care of his younger siblings throughout the 1970s.
On January 23, 17-year-old Hill and his accomplice, 18-year-old Vernon Myers, robbed a liquor store in Glendora, during which Myers killed one store employee and seriously wounded another.
As a minor, Hill was found guilty in complicity to murder, but due to cooperating in the investigation, he received a short sentence.
He was due to be released in February 2004, but in March 2003, Hill's DNA test showed his profile corresponded to that of an unidentified serial killer, who had left DNA evidence during attacks on six women in different suburbs of Los Angeles from November 1993 to January 1994.
His lawyers tried to get an indulgence for him on the basis that Ivan had been abused as a child, arguing this had ultimately led to mental, emotional and behavioral problems.
Hill himself claimed that the murders occurred while he was in an unwell state of mind, characterized by complete confusion and uncontrolled impulsive action.
Hill stated this resulted from a depressive disorder that he developed in September 1993, due to a fallout with his girlfriend, his dismissal from work, and his drug addiction.
In late 2008, on the basis of the results of another DNA test, the investigation connected Hill with two more murders.
In May 2009, at a new trial, Ivan Hill was charged with, and plead guilty to, the murder of 35-year-old Lorna Reed, strangled on February 11 in a Los Angeles suburb named San Dimas, and the murder of 23-year-old Rhonda Jackson, killed on February 27, 1987 in Pomona.

From 1976 to 1995, Ubaldi instructed demonstration courses in selecting, preparing and cutting meat at the The New School for Social Research and the Institute of Culinary Education.
The bottom butt caught my eye and, as the price was reasonable, I bought three pieces, each weighing about 8 to 10 pounds.
When I got them back to the store and took them apart, I liked the high quality of the meat and its fat content.
At that time a lot of my customers were single people or young couples, and they really took to these steaks and their reasonable price, but they wanted to know what to ask for next time they came in.
One night [after 1957] I saw an ad for Newport cigarettes on television and was struck by the similarity of the white quarter moon opening the ad to the shape of my little steaks.
Ubaldi was one of several American butchers and chefs in the 1940s and 1950s to have independently utilized the bottom sirloin from fabricated beef.

After returning to Brazil, he resumed his practice as lawyer and was a pioneer in advocating the use of arbitration in the country with research and publications at the University of São Paulo Law School, where he was a professor of international law for three decades.
After being nominated by the President of Brazil in 2001, he became a member of the Appellate Body of the World Trade Organization, of which he was president between 2007 and 2008, when he returned to legal and arbitral practice in Brazil at his firm, L.O.
In 2015, he left this office and founded Atelier Jurídico, an educational and research think tank, where he worked as arbitrator and legal expert, and the firm Nakagawa Baptista & Baptista, specializing in private law.
Luiz Olavo Baptista was one of the Brazilian pioneers in international arbitration and international trade law, worked as professor at universities in Brazil, the United States and France, and was the author of several books.
After completing his law degree from Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo in 1963 and starting his career as a lawyer, Baptista completed his postgraduate studies at Columbia University in the US and The Hague Academy of International Law.

In 1837 Johannes Baur bought the building in Zurich, which had previously served as a parsonage, and opened Café Baur right next to the city's most important post office.
Together with his wife Anna Knechtli, Baur converted the house into a hotel between 1836 and 1838 according to plans by architect Daniel Pfister, and on December 24, 1838 opened Baur en Ville as the city's first hotel.
The chronicle of 1845 contains the names of various well-known personalities of the time who stayed at the Hotel Baur en Ville, such as Friedrich Wilhelm von Bismarck and Anselm von Rothschild, Otto Wesendonck, Felix Mendelssohn and Franz Liszt.
After Baur's death, Heinrich Brunner took over the hotel and in 1899 sold it to the property speculator Jakob Lassmann from Constantinople.
In 1899, the architects Alfred Chiodera and Theophil Tschudy approved a reconstruction and extension project in the style of the French Renaissance, but it was not carried out.
In 1907, under Hotel Director Schwarz, the conversion and extension was commissioned from the architects Pfleghard & Haefeli and 170 rooms were reopened on 13 June 1908.
Since 1923 the hotel has been home to the United Guilds of Gerwe and Schumachern, and on 28 November 1924 the United Guilds celebrated their first meal in the hotel.
Baur en Ville should not be confused with Baur au Lac on Lake Zurich, which was also built by Baur in 1844.
From 1836 to 1838, the master builder and architect Daniel Pfister erected a regular, block-like structure, divided by Ionic columns and pilasters with Ionic capitals.
Instead of the formerly continuous loggia, all the rooms behind the main façade were fitted with verandas and the pillars on the ground floor were narrowed down.
In the 1970s, the building had to be completely demolished in accordance with fire protection guidelines, but also for reasons of comfort; conversion was not possible.
At the same time, however, the street scene, consisting of the Tiefenhofhäusern, the Kreditanstalt and the Hotel Savoy Baur en Ville on Paradeplatz, was to be retained.
The contract for the construction was awarded to Karl Steiner AG, which removed the façade step by step, erected a new building and then rebuilt the historic façade.
Inside, the hotel is therefore built in the style of the 1970s, while from the outside it still shows the historic facade.

Bolton was the director of the Delta Cotton Oil and Fertilizer Company in Jackson, Mississippi, and the Louisiana Board of Public Welfare in Baton Rouge during the administrations of Governors Robert F. Kennon (1952–1956) and Jimmie Davis (1960–1964).
He was the president from 1964 to 1965 of the LSU Foundation and was instrumental in the founding of Louisiana State University at Alexandria, originally a two-year institution.
In 1924, Bolton wed the former Frances Sample (1902–1986), the daughter of Samuel Guy and Sarah Emma McCrory Sample of Shreveport.
In 1951, Frances Bolton married the Alexandria orthopedic surgeon Paul M. Davis, Jr. James C. Bolton died in Alexandria and is interred, along with his wife and other family members, in Pineville at Greenwood Memorial Park.

In spite of what its name may indicate it is actually 2 islands: Cayo Bequevé North (Norte) and Cayo Bequevé South (Sur), so they can also be known as the Bequevé Islands or Cayos Bequevé.
Cayo Bequeve is popular within the archipelago thanks to the beauty of its white sands and solitary beaches, the birds that can be found in its surroundings and the fact that it forms with other neighboring keys a small natural swimming pool, there are also freshwater wells, one of the most practiced activities is diving.
The William McLachlan Farmhouse, at 4499 S. 3200 West, in what is now West Valley City, Utah in Salt Lake County, Utah, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
His wives were visited as often as it was safe, and Margaret received title to her house in 1886 to protect her and her husband from loss of property should he be caught and prosecuted.
However, he was unable to complete the construction of this house, and death by diphtheria of three sons in 1894 contributed to his failure to make a success of the farm.

Wiknand von Luetzelbach, was the grandfather of the first Breuberg Konrad I (Reiz von Lützelbach) and is first mentioned in documents in 1160 and his son Konrad again in 1189.
In 2001 a strong foundation was found during the excavation of pipe trenches at the Lützelbach cemetery, presumably a keep, which archaeologically supports this assumption.
All of them found their last resting place in the monastery Konradsdorf near Ortenberg, being donators and supervisors of the foundation.
Under Gerlach (1245-1306) and his son Eberhard III, the family reached its zenith with the greatest territorial expansion, power and possessions.
In 1282 under the reign of King Rudolf I of Germany, the Breuberg family's possessions, in addition to the original possessions of the house of Büdingen, could be extended by the high-court of Selbold and the Gelnhausen Mint (facility).
The lordship included the imperial city of Mosbach am Neckar, the Schwäbisch Hall Mint and Köppern, Bergen and Oberrad as imperial fiefs in 1297.
The highlight of this expansion of power was the acquisition of the Frankfurt castle Saalhof in 1282 as an imperial fief (pledged loan) from King Rudolf I. Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor confirmed to Eberhard III of Breuberg in 1317 the fiefdom of Gründau and the Saalhof with the associated fishing and shipping rights.
Cushnie Castle was a 16th-century tower house, about south west of Alford, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, near Cushnie Burn, in the Glen of Cushnie.
The Leslies acquired it by marriage early in the 14th century, before passing to the Lumsdens in 1628, or, on the basis of a coat of arms, 1618.

The Colli Aminei are an area of Naples, Italy that is part of the municipality of Stella-San Carlo at the Arena, specifically of the Stella district.
It is bordered to the west and north by the Vallone di San Rocco, to the east by the Capodimonte ascent, to the south by the valleys of the Scudillo and the Fontanelle.
Since Roman times, the Hills, along with Capodimonte, were considered a renowned resort and healthy air, thanks to the presence of thick woods.
The Roman presence is evidenced by the ruins of the Mausoleo della Conocchia, a Roman sepulchral monument, which was very famous even in the romantic age, helping to attract foreign travelers and tourists to the area.
Following the extraction limitations decreed in the city boundaries, in the XVIII century the area (then outside the city, like the other hilly areas of Vomero, Posillipo and dell'Arenella) saw the extraction of the tuff, in particular near the valley of San Rocco, both open-air and through underground quarries with access from above (latomie) or lateral from the valley itself (caves).
During the Second World War the caves were used to guarantee the productive continuity of the Neapolitan aeronautical industries (for example IMAM - Southern Aeronautical Mechanical Industries) also under Allied bombing.
The caves and the latomie are instead abandoned, although presenting a significant tourist potential as finds of industrial archeology and for the natural context in which they are inserted.
The urbanization of the Neapolitan hills reached the neighborhood in the sixties; fortunately the latomies and the inaccessible topography have limited the building disfigurement.
Today the district has a densely inhabited area, with a population of about 30,000 inhabitants, surrounded by a green area, used as a public park or agricultural crops.
There are numerous small businesses, as well as a small induced from the many hospitals present in the Hospital Area, as well as the Juvenile Court of Naples and the relevant First Reception Center.
The Colli Aminei constitute a hinge of the city connections on the north-south axis, also due to the presence of the Colli Aminei station of Line 1 (Naples subway) with attached multi-storey car park.
The roads are Viale Colli Aminei and Via Nicolardi; many crosses depart from both, named after plants and flowers, in memory of the historical natural beauty of the places.
Originally the cross streets of Viale Colli Aminei were private streets that were part of large apartment buildings (Parco La Pineta, Rione Sapio).
Of rare beauty is the Parco del Poggio, opened in 2001, which winds along the slope of the hill that faces the sea.
It gives a view of Naples from a fairly high point that embraces Vesuvius, almost in front, and the area of Piazza Municipio with the Vomero hill overlooking it.
Inside the park has a pergola path that descends towards its lowest point (right above the Naples ring road), an area equipped for children, a mini botanical garden with an exhibition of exotic plants, and above all an artificial lake, surrounded by from masonry seats like an arena.
At the center of the lake there is a stage to give way, in the summer, to represent singing and various shows or film screenings.
On April 5, 2008, the Park of Via Nicolardi was opened, smaller than the Parco del Poggio, with a skating rink and nature trail.
The contiguous Vallone di San Rocco, although not easily accessible to the public, is protected as a green lung and included in the urban reserve of the Neapolitan hills.
Not far from the neighborhood there are the Park of Capodimonte, with the historic Bourbon palace and the Museum of Capodimonte, as well as the large and wild Camaldoli Park.

The Tan family of Cirebon was an influential family of government officials, sugar barons and landowners in the Dutch East Indies, particularly in the Residency of Cirebon.
In 1830, he celebrated the completion of the renovation of – the city's main Chinese temple – by putting up a commemorative wooden plaque, bearing his name.
It is unclear whether any family relationship existed between the Kapitein and his predecessors, many of whom bore the surname of Tan.
The Dutch-Indonesian researcher Steve Haryono suggests that the family, whose origin in Java probably predated Kapitein Tan Kong Djan, may have originally come from Batavia, capital of the Dutch East Indies.
Soon after his brother's death, Kapitein Tan Phan Long (died in 1848) acceded to the Captaincy, and held office until retiring in 1846.
Luitenant-titulair Tan Siauw Tjoe was, however, dismissed from office in 1847 for his involvement in opium smuggling; reinstated in 1849, he was dismissed again in 1854.
In Cirebon, upon the resignation of Kapitein Tan Phan Long in 1846, his nephew Tan Tiang Keng (1826 – 1884), part of the third generation as the eldest son of Kapitein Tan Kim Lin, was raised to the office of Luitenant der Chinezen, serving under his uncle's successor.
Although Luitenant Tan Tiang Keng did not immediately accede to the Captaincy, he was given the honorary rank of Kapitein-titulair der Chinezen in 1873 after 26 years in office.
In 1882, Kapitein-titulair Tan Tiang Keng was finally elevated, like his grandfather, father and uncle before him, to the post of Kapitein der Chinezen of Cirebon.
Also in 1882, the newly-inaugurated Kapitein's son, Tan Tjin Kie, the most prominent member of the fourth generation, was installed as Luitenant der Chinezen.
In 1884, when Kapitein Tiang Keng died in office, Luitenant Tan Tjin Kie was passed over in the succession in favor of an older officer; but, two of his in-laws, the cousins Kwee Keng Eng and Kwee Keng Liem (husbands of the Luitenant’s sister and cousin respectively), were both raised to the post of Luitenant der Chinezen.
In 1888, when the Captaincy again became vacant, Luitenant Tan Tjin Kie finally succeeded his father, granduncle, grandfather and great-grandfather as Kapitein der Chinezen of Cirebon.
In 1913, as an unusual mark of high esteem, the colonial authorities awarded Kapitein Tan Tjin Kie the rank of Majoor-titulair der Chinezen.
Cirebon – unlike the capital cities of Batavia, Semarang and Surabaya – was normally headed only by a Kapitein, not a Majoor.
The Majoor died in office in 1919, and was given a lavish and much-remembered 40-day-long funeral ceremony, drawing visiting dignitaries from far and wide.
In 1897, Kapitein Tan Tjin Kie's eldest son, Tan Gin Ho – a fifth-generation descendant of Kapitein Tan Kong Djan – was installed as Luitenant der Chinezen under his father.
Also part of the fifth generation was Kwee Zwan Hong, who was appointed in 1908 as Luitenant of Losari, Sindanglaut and Ciledug, and further raised to the rank of Kapitein-titulair in 1924.
Kapitein-titulair Kwee Zwan Hong was the son of Luitenant Kwee Keng Liem and, through his maternal grandmother Tan Sioe Nio, was a great-grandson of Kapitein Tan Kim Lin; in office until 1934, he was also the last serving Chinese officer in the Residency of Cirebon.
This mill was inherited by his eldest son, Kapitein Tan Tiang Keng, his grandson, Majoor-titulair Tan Tjin Kie, then by his great-grandsons, Luitenant Tan Gin Ho and Tan Gin Han.
By the 1880s, the Tan family owned a constellation of other sugar mills in addition to Loewoenggadjah, including Ardjosarie, Karangredjo, Krian, Mabet, Porwasrie, Soemengko and Tjiledoek.
Although forced by circumstances to sell their Djatipiring sugar mill in 1931, they maintained their political, social and economic prominence well into the 1950s.

The mango leaf-cutting weevil is native to tropical Asia where it occurs in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.
The adult female uses her ovipositor to deposit eggs singly in small hollows excavated on the upper surface of a young leaf near the midrib; she then severs the leaf near the stalk from edge to edge, including the midrib, whereupon it falls to the ground.
After a larval state lasting about eleven days, the larvae exit the leaf and form themselves earthen chambers in which to pupate.
Six days later they are fully mature and start to breed, copulation usually taking place early in the morning, and lasting for about an hour.
The most obvious sign of infestation is the presence of cut leaves on the ground beneath the tree, and the stripped, leaf-less shoots, which can be seen from a distance.
Infested trees have reduced growth rates, poor flowering and lower yields, the growth of root suckers may be slowed and grafts fail.

The Hmong people, as an ancient people of China with a 5,000-year history, continue to maintain and practice its form of shamanism known as Ua Neeb.
Being a Hmong shaman is a vocation; their main job is to bring harmony to the individual, their family, and their community within their environment by performing rituals, usually through trance.
Contrary to the belief of many Westerners, the Hmong practice of using animals in shamanic practice is performed with great respect.
After the Vietnam War, over 200,000 Hmong were resettled in the United States and shamanism is still part of the Hmong culture.
The Hmong believe that all things on Earth have a soul (or multiple souls), and those souls are treated as equal and can be considered interchangeable.
When a person is sick due to his soul being lost, or captured by wild spirit, it is necessary to ask for and receive permission of that animal, whether it is a chicken, pig, dog, goat or any other animals required, to use its soul for an exchange with the afflicted person's soul for a period of 12 months.
At the end of that period, during the Hmong New Year, the shaman would perform a special ritual to release the soul of that animal and send it off to the world beyond.
As part of his service to mankind, the animal soul is sent off to be reincarnated into a higher form of animal, or even to become a member of a god's family (ua Fuab Tais Ntuj tus tub, tus ntxhais) to live a life of luxury, free of the suffering as an animal.
The Hmong of southeast Guizhou will cover the rooster with a piece of red cloth and then hold it up to worship and sacrifice to the Heaven and the Earth before the sacred cockfight.
In addition to the spiritual dimension, Hmong shaman attempt to treat many physical illnesses through use of the text of sacred words (khawv koob).
Shamanism is part of the indigenous Ainu religion and Japanese religion of Shinto, although Shinto is distinct in that it is shamanism for an agricultural society.
Since the early middle-ages Shinto has been influenced by and syncretized with Buddhism and other elements of continental East Asian culture.
Among the Buryat Mongols, who live in Mongolia and Russia, the proliferation of shamans since 1990 is a core aspect of a larger struggle for the Buryats to reestablish their historical and genetic roots, as has been documented extensively by Ippei Shimamura, an anthropologist at the University of Shiga Prefecture in Japan.
At these businesses, a shaman generally heads the organization and performs services such as healing, fortunetelling, and solving all kinds of problems.
Although the initial enthusiasm for the revival of Mongol shamanism in the post-communist/post-1990 era led to an openness to all interested visitors, the situation has changed among those Mongols seeking to protect the essential ethnic or national basis of their practices.
Babaylans ((also balian or katalonan, among many other indigenous names) were shamans of the various ethnic groups of the pre-colonial Philippine islands.
In the absence of the datu (head of the domain), the babaylan takes in the role of interim head of the domain.
Babaylans were held in such high esteem because of their ability to negate the dark magic of an evil datu or spirit and heal the sick or the wounded.
Among the powers of the babaylan was to heal the sick, ensure a safe pregnancy and child birth, and lead rituals with offerings to the various divinities.
The babaylans were well versed in herb lore, and was able to create remedies, antidotes, and potions from various roots and seeds.
They used these to treat the sick or to aid an ally datu in bringing down an enemy, hence, the babaylans were also known for their specialization in medical and divine combat.
Their influence waned when most of the ethnic groups of the Philippines were gradually converted to Islam and forcefully converted to Catholicism.
The Spanish burned down everything they associated as connected to the native people's indigenous religion (including shrines such as the dambana), even forcefully ordering native children to defecate on their own god's idols.
In modern Philippine society, their roles have largely been taken over by folk healers, which are now predominantly male, while some are still being falsely accused as 'witches', which has been inputted by Spanish colonialism.
In areas where the people have not been converted into Muslims or Christians, notably ancestral domains of indigenous peoples, the shamans and their cultural traits have continued to exist with their respective communities, although these shamans and their practices are being slowly diluted by Christian religions which continue to interfere with their life-ways.
The area is inhabited by many different ethnic groups, and many of its peoples observe shamanistic practices, even in modern times.
Manchu Shamanism is one of very few Shamanist traditions which held official status into the modern era, by becoming one of the imperial cults of the Qing dynasty of China (alongside Buddhism, Taoism and traditional Heaven worship).
The Palace of Earthly Tranquility, one of the principal halls of the Forbidden City in Beijing, was partly dedicated to Shamanistic rituals.
Among the Siberian Chukchis peoples, a shaman is interpreted as someone who is possessed by a spirit, who demands that someone assume the shamanic role for their people.
Among several Samoyedic peoples, shamanism was a living tradition also in modern times, especially at groups living in isolation, until recent times (Nganasans).
When the People's Republic of China was formed in 1949 and the border with Russian Siberia was formally sealed, many nomadic Tungus groups (including the Evenki) that practiced shamanism were confined in Manchuria and Inner Mongolia.
In many other cases, shamanism was in decline even at the beginning of the 20th century, for instance, among the Roma.
While in other parts of the world, religious rituals are primarily used to promote agricultural prosperity, here they were used to ensure success in hunting and breeding livestock.
Animals are one of the most important elements of indigenous religion in Central Asia because of the role they play in the survival of the nomadic civilizations of the steppes as well as sedentary populations living on land not conducive to agriculture.
As a religion of nature, shamanism throughout Central Asia held particular reverence for the relations between sky, earth and water and believed in the mystical importance of trees and mountains.
Shamanism in Central Asia also places a strong emphasis on the opposition between summer and winter, corresponding to the huge differences in temperature common in the region.
The harsh conditions and poverty caused by the extreme temperatures drove Central Asian nomads throughout history to pursue militaristic goals against their sedentary neighbors.
In this role they took on tasks such as healing, divination, appealing to ancestors, manipulating the elements, leading lost souls and officiating public religious rituals.
The shamanic séance served as a public display of the shaman's journey to the spirit world and usually involved intense trances, drumming, dancing, chanting, elaborate costumes, miraculous displays of physical strength, and audience involvement.
The goal of these séances ranged from recovering the lost soul of a sick patient and divining the future to controlling the weather and finding a lost person or thing.
The use of sleight-of-hand tricks, ventriloquism, and hypnosis were common in these rituals but did not explain the more impressive feats and actual cures accomplished by shamans.
Shamans in ecstasy displayed unusual physical strength, the ability to withstand extreme temperatures, the bearing of stabbing and cutting without pain, and the heightened receptivity of the sense organs.
Shamans made use of intoxicating substances and hallucinogens, especially mukhomor mushrooms and alcohol, as a means of hastening the attainment of ecstasy.
The use of purification by fire is an important element of the shamanic tradition dating back as early as the 6th century.
These purifications were complex exorcisms while others simply involved the act of literally walking between two fires while being blessed by the shaman.
Despite distinctions between various types of shamans and specific traditions, there is a uniformity throughout the region manifested in the personal beliefs, objectives, rituals, symbols and the appearance of shamans.
The dramatic displays are not to draw attention or to create a spectacle, but to lead the tribe in a solemn ritualistic process.
The use of these elements serves the purpose of outwardly expressing his mystical communion with nature and the spirits for the rest of the tribe.
The true shaman can make the journey to the spirit world at any time and any place, but shamanic ceremonies provide a way for the rest of the tribe to share in this religious experience.
The shaman changes his voice mimetically to represent different persons, gods, and animals while his music and dance change to show his progress in the spirit world and his different spiritual interactions.
Many shamans practice ventriloquism and make use of their ability to accurately imitate the sounds of animals, nature, humans and other noises in order to provide the audience with the ambiance of the journey.
Elaborate dances and recitations of songs and poetry are used to make the shamans spiritual adventures into a matter of living reality to his audience.
The transformation into an animal is an important aspect of the journey into the spirit world undertaken during shamanic rituals so the coat is often decorated with birds feathers and representations of animals, coloured handkerchiefs, bells and metal ornaments.
The drum or tambourine is the essential means of communicating with spirits and enabling the shaman to reach altered states of consciousness on his journey.
In Soviet Central Asia, the Soviet government persecuted and denounced shamans as practitioners of fraudulent medicine and perpetuators of outdated religious beliefs in the new age of science and logic.
Shamans represented an important component in the traditional culture of Central Asians and because of their important role in society, Soviet organizations and campaigns targeted shamans in their attempt to eradicate traditional influences in the lives of the indigenous peoples.
Along with persecution under the tsarist and Soviet regimes, the spread of Christianity and Islam had a role in the disintegration of native faith throughout central Asia.
Shamanism is still widely practiced in the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa, Japan), where shamans are known as 'Noro' (all women) and 'Yuta'.
It is commonly believed that the Shinto religion is the result of the transformation of a shamanistic tradition into a religion.
Some of the prehistoric peoples who once lived in Siberia and other parts of Central and Eastern Asia have dispersed and migrated into other regions, bringing aspects of their cultures with them.
For example, many Uralic peoples live now outside Siberia; however, the original location of the Proto-Uralic peoples (and its extent) is debated.
Combined phytogeographical and linguistic considerations (distribution of various tree species and the presence of their names in various Uralic languages) suggest that this area was north of Central Ural Mountains and on lower and middle parts of Ob River.
Shamanism has played an important role in Turko-Mongol mythology: Tengriism—the major ancient belief among Xiongnu, Mongol and Turkic peoples, Magyars and Bulgars—incorporates elements of shamanism.
Shamanism is no more a living practice among Hungarians, but remnants have been reserved as fragments of folklore, in folktales, customs.
Some historians of the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern period have argued that traces of shamanistic traditions can be seen in the popular folk belief of this period.
Ginzburg in particular has argued that some of these traditions influenced the conception of witchcraft in Christendom, in particular ideas regarding the witches' sabbath, leading to the events of the witch trials in the early modern period.
Some of these Italian traditions survived into the 20th and early 21st centuries, allowing Italian-American sociologist Sabina Magliocco to make a brief study of them (2009).
Also in most Eskimo groups, the role of mediator is known well: the person filling it in is actually believed to be able to contact the beings who populate the belief system.
The Russian linguist Menovshikov (Меновщиков), an expert of Siberian Yupik and Sireniki Eskimo languages (while admitting that he is not a specialist in ethnology) mentions, that the shamanistic seances of those Siberian Yupik and Sireniki groups he has seen have many similarities to those of Greenland Inuit groups described by Fridtjof Nansen, although a large distance separates Siberia and Greenland.
The myths concerning the role of shaman had several variants, and also the name of their protagonists varied from culture to culture.
Many of these indigenous religions have been grossly misrepresented by outside observers and anthropologists, even to the extent of superficial or seriously mistaken anthropological accounts being taken as more authentic than the accounts of actual members of the cultures and religions in question.
Some contribute to the fallacy that Native American cultures and religions are something that only existed in the past, and which can be mined for data despite the opinions of Native communities.
Among those that do have this sort of religious structure, spiritual methods and beliefs may have some commonalities, though many of these commonalities are due to some nations being closely related, from the same region, or through post-Colonial governmental policies leading to the combining of formerly independent nations on reservations.
With the arrival of European settlers and colonial administration, the practice of Native American traditional beliefs was discouraged and Christianity was imposed upon the indigenous people.
From the colonial era, up until the passage of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act in 1978, it was illegal for Indigenous people to practice traditional religion and sacred ceremonies.
In most communities, the traditions were not completely eradicated, but rather went underground, and were practiced secretly until the prohibitive laws were repealed.
Up until and during the last hundred years, thousands of Native American and First Nations children from many different communities were sent into the Canadian Indian residential school system, and Indian boarding schools in an effort to destroy tribal languages, cultures and beliefs.
In several tribes living in the Amazon rainforest, the spiritual leaders also act as managers of scarce ecological resources The rich symbolism in Tukano culture has been documented in field works even in the last decades of the 20th century.
For the Aymara people of South America the Yatiri is a healer who heals the body and the soul, they serve the community and do the rituals for Pachamama.
Part of the healing power attributed to shamanic practices depends of the use of plant alkaloids taken during the therapeutic sessions.
In Mali, Dogon sorcerers (both male and female) communicate with a spirit named Amma, who advises them on healing and divination practices.
For harmony between the living and the dead, vital for a trouble-free life, the ancestors must be shown respect through ritual and animal sacrifice.
There is an endeavor in some contemporary occult and esoteric circles to reinvent shamanism in a modern form, often drawing from core shamanism—a set of beliefs and practices synthesized by Michael Harner—centered on the use of ritual drumming and dance, and Harner's interpretations of various indigenous religions.
Harner has faced criticism for taking pieces of diverse religions out of their cultural contexts and synthesising a set of universal shamanic techniques.
Some neoshamans focus on the ritual use of entheogens, and also embrace the philosophies of chaos magic while others (such as Jan Fries) have created their own forms of shamanism.
European-based neoshamanic traditions are focused upon the researched or imagined traditions of ancient Europe, where many mystical practices and belief systems were suppressed by the Christian church.
Shamanistic techniques have also been used in New Age therapies which use enactment and association with other realities as an intervention.

The American Sanctuary Association (ASA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1998 to set standards for animal care and housing.
The goal of ASA is to link together sanctuary directors and founders in order to share experiences and to enable unwanted and wild unreleasable animals to find safe haven.
ASA was founded in 1998 in large part to fill the role for animal sanctuaries that the AZA fills for zoos, and in disagreement with the prevailing accreditation standards.
Actress and animal activist, Tippi Hedren, founder of the Shambala Preserve, was elected as the first President, and still serves in that role.
ASA serves as an accrediting body for animal sanctuaries, ensuring that ASA accrediting facilities meet higher standards of animal care than required by U.S. law.
Among other things, the ASA looks at the sanctuary's financials, nonprofit status, APHIS inspection reports, habitat designs, food prep areas, staff and board of directors, emergency procedures, and general condition of the sanctuary and its inhabitants.
Unlike wildlife rehabilitation centers, wildlife sanctuaries provide homes to wild animals that have been deemed non-releasable, usually due to injuries or habituation to humans.

Born in Bento Fernandes, Rio Grande do Norte, Dalberto started his career with América de Natal in 2013, after being approved on a trial.
In early 2014, however, he was released after playing just one match for the first team, and subsequently represented Bonsucesso and São João da Barra.
On 11 May of that year, he moved to ABC, and helped the club in their promotion to the Série B.
He subsequently served loan stints at Londrina and Sampaio Corrêa, being rarely used in both stints; he then returned to Mirassol in for the 2016 Copa Paulista, but still rescinded his contract at the end of the year.

Dalberto made his top tier debut on 29 September 2019, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Athletico Paranaense but being replaced with only 11 minutes due to an injury.
TSLAQ is a loosely-collected group of largely anonymous individuals critical of Elon Musk and aspects of Tesla, Inc. who primarily organize on Twitter and Reddit in order to share news, openly discuss matters concerning the company and its stock, and coordinate efforts.
The group at times exchanges online verbal hostilities with Tesla fans, and Tesla officials such as CEO Elon Musk have actively engaged prominent members.
In the latest in a series of communications between the two, sarcastic open-letters were exchanged between Musk and CEO of Greenlight Capital David Einhorn (a noted Tesla bear whose company shorts $TSLA) in early November 2019, with Einhorn directly referencing a website from the TSLAQ community.
Using GoFundMe, TSLAQ members led by Fossi ran a campaign for and contributed to the defense fund, accruing in excess of US$100,000, for fellow member, Randeep Hothi, who was initially sued by Tesla.
Mr. Hothi allegedly chased a car full of Tesla employees and attempted to cause an accident by driving erratically to confuse the car's Autopilot system, among other things.
Some members short Tesla stock as they believe it will lower in value in the future; Tesla was the most shorted stock in 2019, with over $10.5 billion in shorted share value at its peak, although as of November 2019 that value has fallen to $8.3 billion.
Claims against Elon Musk and Tesla include that Tesla has reached a cliff in demand, and that Tesla is distorting its sales numbers of cars.
The Musée de Charlevoix (Charlevoix Museum) is a museum of art, ethnology and history located in La Malbaie, in the natural region of Charlevoix, in the province of Québec, in Canada.
Since the beginning of XX century, the Charlevoix region has been regularly attended by many artists, such as Clarence Gagnon or André Biéler.
This first establishment takes on a new dimension in 1975, when the collections are set up in the former La Malbaie post office.
These are works by well-known artists: Clarence Gagnon, René Richard, Georges-Henry Duquet and popular artists such as Roger Ouellette and Robert Cauchon (naive art, art brut).
For the next several decades, schools were predominantly Mormon-run, with their ecclesiastical leaders organizing schools and Mormon doctrine and scriptures taught within the curriculum.
As the United States continued expanding west, the population in Utah became increasingly non-Mormon, resulting in a push to publicize schools and separate church and state.
When Utah became a state in 1896, schools became government-funded and free from sectarian control, allowing for free public-school education throughout the state.
Throughout the twentieth century, heavy emphasis was placed on educational reform and providing better funding to Utah schools as funds, especially teacher salaries, were quite low.
The pioneers fled to present-day Utah – then a territory of Mexico – to escape religious persecution and the Missouri Governor Bogg's extermination order, arriving in the Salt Lake Valley in 1847.
Financial assistance lay almost entirely among those who attended and thus, the support of each school relied heavily on the economic conditions of the surrounding area.
With a lack of centralization and widely varying funding, the quality of education and the curriculum offered also varied throughout the state.
However, due to their church-sponsored support, the curriculum often taught moral values of the church and even included LDS scripture as supplemental sources.
However, efforts to centralize curriculum and school policy began as early as 1851 with the creation of the office of territorial superintendent of schools, though centralization in practice wasn't evident for several years.
County superintendents were put in place, the legal responsibility for the establishment and overseeing of schools transferred from the Bishop to city councils, and cities could collect taxes to help with teacher salaries and school supplies.
Much of this change occurred because many non-LDS people were moving into the territory, establishing Protestants and Catholics, although members of the Church of Jesus Christ were still the majority population in the state.
Though they had been relatively isolated, the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 ushered in a much larger population of non-LDS groups.
The large population of non-LDS people living within the state often clashed with the LDS dominated society, struggling with their social dominance and some doctrinal points such as polygamy.
They established mission schools for this purpose, the first of which was St. Marks school, built-in 1867, which still exists today.
The now 20% non-LDS population resisted the idea of funding going to public schools which were still essentially Mormon dominated schools.
The minority religions called for a separation of church and state, a call made more significant as the Territorial Superintendent of District Schools at the time was John Taylor, the third president of the LDS church, who had defeated the first liberal candidate to run, M. W. Ashbrook.
In 1887, the federal government stepped in, issuing the Edmunds-Tucker Act which required changes to many of the Church's political and social practices.
Among these changes was the call to end the practice of polygamy and the abolishment of the territorial Superintendent of Schools.
When Utah achieved statehood in 1896, this law expanded to make the school's government-funded and maintained and completely free from sectarian control.
As the 19th century passed into the 20th century, Utah became one of the first states to equalize education throughout the state.
As enrollment of students increased in the public school system in Utah, new problems would arise that would challenge the state.
Utah boasted one of the lowest enrollments in the nation toward the beginning of the 20th century (0.5%), but families who were not members of the dominant church population in Utah felt that the public schools in Utah were essentially private because of the heavy influence from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
The church attempted to create a system of private schools in response to Protestant education reforms, but those schools were adopted into public schools, which led to the low private school enrollment rate.
One of the themes that have defined education in Utah is that students have received above-average test scores despite the deprivation of funds.
After World War II, teachers and schools started to take a stand and seek greater funding from the government to provide education to the students they taught.
Teachers found this to be difficult during the governorship of J. Bracken Lee (1949–1957) because of his sweeping budget reforms and his objection to receiving federal aid.
After Lee left office, governors sought ways to provide more money to teachers and the education system, but it did not seem to be enough to fulfill the needs of the teachers.
In 1960, about 12 percent of teachers in Utah left their work in the schools for other jobs in the state due partially to insufficient salaries.
Many students who were trained to be teachers took teaching jobs outside of Utah leaving about half of the teaching jobs in Utah filled by people who underwent alternate teaching certification methods or who were not certified teachers at all.
The financial crisis became so extreme that the National Education Association (NEA) sanctioned the state education system in Utah, the first time it had done this to a whole state in its history, in May 1964.
After Cal Rampton, a democratic governor elected after Lee, fixed some of the financial issues that brought about the sanctions from the NEA, the sanctions were lifted in 1965.
After Rampton conducted his educational reforms and gave the schools more funds, schools began operating again, though not quite above the national averages.
More educational reforms began in Utah and throughout the United States in 1983 upon the release of the results of the publication released by the National Commission of Excellence in Education which ranked students in the United States below average as compared to other developed and developing countries around the world.
This development in education was seen as an issue to national security and more funds were put into education nationally to improve the education system.
Despite some of the issues Utah dealt with in regards to the blurred line between church and state and financial crises, many students went through Utah schools that were successful.
The Indian Placement Program was an official program of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to provide opportunities for children of Native Americans to receive an education in the schools that were dominated by the white settlers in the Mormon Corridor.
To participate in the program, a child needed to be a baptized member of the church, relatively free of emotional oddities, want to be educated, and keep good grades.
Some participants felt that they could not have achieved what they did in their lives without their involvement in the program, while others felt that their involvement in the program took them away from their culture that they could no longer identify with.
Other critics of the program claimed that the church was kidnapping children to indoctrinate them into their faith and culture while others claimed it harmed the children's psychological welfare because of their separation from their biological parents.
As schools on reservations improved throughout the 1980s, enrollment in the Indian Placement Program fell until the church officially ended the program in 1996.
The University of Utah was established in February 1850 as the first university west of the Mississippi river by Brigham Young, the second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
The school was originally named the University of Deseret, after a word that came from the church's book of scripture, The Book of Mormon, meaning honeybee.
The honeybee was a symbol of hard work and industry for members of the church and Brigham Young, and to name the university after that symbol mirrored Brigham Young's vision for the university.
The name of the university was changed to the University of Utah in 1894, just two years before the state of Utah being admitted into the Union.
Karl G. Maeser was the first principal of the school and is credited by the school as the one who kept it running despite some early challenges.
The school lost much of its financial backing following the death of Brigham Young in 1877 and sought funding from local members in the area to remain to function.
After the school burned down, it moved up to Temple Hill, as it was called in Provo, where the school currently resides.
The school grew steadily over the next few decades and was even used as one of many training grounds for the United States Army during World War II.
The school went through multiple name changes over the first decades of its establishment, but finally settled on Utah State University in 1957.
Utah State University has continued to grow and has a renowned engineering program that has a partnership with the National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA).
This school continued to operate under the jurisdiction of the church until the state took jurisdiction of the school in 1933. it almost returned to the jurisdiction of the church during J. Bracken Lee's governorship in his effort to reduce expenses for the state, but a referendum stopped the school from transitioning back to the church.
The school continues to grow and boasts of great technology and liberal arts programs through the school are smaller than the other larger schools in the state.
The people of Cedar City worked together to build the campus themselves as they built the first building for the university.
Originally formed in 1941, Utah Valley Technical Institution was created to address some of the demands of the coming war (World War II).
The training the institution gave was seen as necessary and received funding from the government to become a permanent institution in Orem.
Utah Valley University now boasts the largest enrollment for a school in Utah and serves many non-traditional students while providing education in programs that may not be traditionally present at other universities (such as piloting and first responder education).
Joseph Bernard Gildenhorn (born September 17, 1929), was the US Ambassador to Switzerland (1989-1993), a partner in the law firm of Brown, Gildenhorn and Jacobs (Washington, DC), and Founder, Officer and Director of JBG Smith, a since publically quoted real estate development and management firm.
degree in Business Administration), and Yale Law School in 1954 and was a member of the Editorial Board of the Yale Law Journal and Order of the Coif.
JBG Smith began in what has been described as a small law firm that began in 1956 by Gildenhorn and high school friends Donald Brown and Gerald Miller.
About ten years later, the principals of Miller, Brown and Gildenhorn decided to become real estate developers in the Washington, DC area.

In mathematics, the polynomial method is an algebraic approach to combinatorics problems that involves capturing some combinatorial structure using polynomials and proceeding to argue about their algebraic properties.
The polynomial method encompasses a wide range of specific techniques for using polynomials and ideas from areas such as algebraic geometry to solve combinatorics problems.
While a few techniques that follow the framework of the polynomial method, such as Alon's Combinatorial Nullstellensatz, have been known since the 1990s, it was not until around 2010 that a broader framework for the polynomial method has been developed.
Now we will use the property that formula_6 is a Kakeya set to show that formula_25 must vanish on all of formula_26.
However, formula_39 is a polynomial of degree formula_18 in formula_41 but it has at least formula_42 roots corresponding to the nonzero elements of formula_1 so it must be identically zero.
We have shown that formula_45 for all formula_4 but formula_25 has degree less than formula_49 in each of the variables so this is impossible by the Schwartz–Zippel lemma.
A variation of the polynomial method, often called polynomial partitioning, was introduced by Guth and Katz in their solution to the Erdős distinct distances problem.
Polynomial partitioning involves using polynomials to divide the underlying space into regions and arguing about the geometric structure of the partition.
The technique of polynomial partitioning has been used to give a new proof of the Szemerédi–Trotter theorem via the polynomial ham sandwich theorem and has been applied to a variety of problems in incidence geometry.
From 2013 to 2016 he was an assistant professor in the Kawarabayashi Large Graph Project of the National Institute of Informatics.
Although services now take place in a school, the cause—founded in 1785 by seceders from the nearby Five Ash Down Independent Chapel—had its own chapel from 1789 until 2005, when the building closed and was sold for residential conversion.
The church was formed as a result of doctrinal differences which split the congregation at Five Ash Down a year after the church there was founded.
Believers in particular redemption and closed communion left that church, which in common with many Nonconformist churches in this part of Sussex had been founded along Independent Calvinist lines, and formed a separate church at a farm in Uckfield in 1785.
Another split occurred in the 1920s as the church realigned itself with General Baptist theology, causing Strict Baptist members to secede once more and form a new church which still meets elsewhere in Uckfield.
Twelve years earlier, Thomas Dicker junior had experienced a religious conversion after attending an open-air service in the nearby town of Uckfield; in 1773 he started holding meetings at his house, and so many worshippers were attracted to these services that his father provided land for a chapel to be built.
From the start, the doctrine of the Five Ash Down cause was Independent Calvinistic, in common with many churches founded in Sussex in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Another group with Calvinistic origins, the Strict and Particular Baptists, shared these views but also adhered to the doctrines of believers' baptism and closed communion, and also differed on other matters of ecclesiastical polity.
Many congregations were split by doctrinal disagreement or the appointment of a new pastor with a different interpretation of Calvinism, and new churches were regularly constituted for seceding members.
Of the dozens of Strict Baptist causes established in Sussex over the years, the majority had their origins in the type of Independent Calvinism practised at Five Ash Down.
Members who held the stricter view that only a confession of faith followed by total immersion baptism could permit membership broke away and formed a separate gathering at Lephams (or Leaphams) Bridge Farm east of Five Ash Down.
A Strict Baptist church was constituted at this location on 15 May 1785, and meetings continued there for just over three years.
In 1788, the congregation obtained the lease in copyhold form of a piece of land at the north end of Uckfield High Street.
A permanent chapel, Uckfield Baptist Church, was built; it was opened on 22 February 1789 by Henry Brooker, the founder of Bethel Strict Baptist Chapel, Wivelsfield, Joseph Middleton from a chapel in Lewes and Thomas Dicker—son of the founder of Five Ash Down Chapel.
The future of the church was secured in 1871 when the church gained the right to acquire title to the land.
This also prompted the demolition of the original chapel, which was in a poor state of repair, and its replacement with a large new brick building.
In the same way that disagreement between Independent and Strict Baptist interpretations of Calvinist doctrine caused many churches to split, it became common in the 19th and early 20th centuries for secessions to occur in Strict Baptist churches if pastors, influential members or groups of worshippers started to adopt views associated with General Baptists.
In 1908 a new pastor introduced General Baptist beliefs, and a secession soon took place in 1920: members who wanted to maintain Strict Baptist beliefs left and began to meet at the Foresters Hall in the south of the town.
The building was later registered formally as a place of worship and is still used as a Strict Baptist chapel aligned with the Gospel Standard movement.
The registration was formally transferred to the new chapel with effect from 24 October 1876, and was cancelled on 15 June 2005.
Worship at the church ceased in that year, when the building was sold for residential conversion and the congregation moved their services to Manor Primary School in Uckfield.
As of February 2001, it was one of 2,020 Grade II listed buildings, and 2,173 listed buildings of all grades, in the district of Wealden.
It was opened on 23 April 1988 as part of the extension of Line 1 from Chacaíto to Los Dos Caminos.
In 1772, after the First Partition of Poland it became one of uyezds of Polotsk Governorate (, 1776—1796), later Belarusian Governorate (1796—1802) and Vitebsk Governorate (1802—1917) of the Russian Empire.
On 31 December 1917 Dvinsky Uyezd, populated by mostly Latvians were transferred to Governorate of Livonia, becoming a part of the Latvian Soviet autonomy of Iskolat and a part of the Latvian Socialist Soviet Republic on 17 December 1918.
Of these, 39.0% spoke Latvian, 20.0% Yiddish, 15.3% Russian, 13.8% Belarusian, 9.1% Polish, 1.8% German, 0.4% Lithuanian, 0.2% Tatar, 0.1% Romani and 0.1% Ukrainian as their native language.
The 2000 Ju-Jitsu World Championship were the 4th edition of the Ju-Jitsu World Championships, and were held in Copenhagen, Denmark from November 25 to November 26, 2000.
He received a BA in English with drama and American Studies from the University of Derby in 1993, followed by a Postgraduate Certificate in Education, also from Derby.
He worked as a teacher and schools advisor in several schools before becoming an assistant head teacher at a Birmingham primary school, Chilworth Croft Academy in 2009.
Shortly after, he took a position at another primary school, Parkfield Community School, an academy also in the Birmingham area as a Personal Social Health Education (PSHE) teacher and assistant head teacher.
The presentation in Westminster and accompanying document advised parliament on current policy and asked for clarity and support in providing education around the Equality Act 2010's protected characteristics.
The programme addresses issues of inclusion, and covers topics which are protected by the 2010 Equality Act, including religion or belief system, race, gender identity and sexual orientation.
In 2019, following Moffat's nomination for the Global Teacher Prize from the Varkey Foundation, protests grew and spread to other schools in the area.
Following continuing protests, the programme was temporarily halted in March 2019 at these schools and Parkfield whilst a resolution with parents and guardians was sought.
Moffat, as an openly gay staff member, was advised by the police to do a risk assessment of his travel arrangements from school.
One aim of the club is to make connections between school children and reduce the risk of radicalisation in vulnerable groups.
Moffat also speaks as a children's rights communicator and has presented at Humanists UK 2019 convention and the 2019 Blackham lecture with Sarah Hewitt-Clarkson.
Released in 2011, the book won three awards: the Midwest Book Award, the Independent Publishers Book Award and the Choice Outstanding Academic Book Award.
The Birthday Cake is an American film, directed by Jimmy Giannopoulos, from a screenplay by Diomedes Raul Bermudez, Shiloh Fernandez and Giannopoulos.
It is also directorial debut for Giannopoulos who has a directed short films, and worked with Miley Cyrus, A$AP Rocky, Kid Cudi, and others on music projects.
Producers include Siena Oberman under her Artemis Pictures banner, Diomedes Raul Bermudez of Promise Films and Danny Sawaf of Oceana Studios.
The Birthday Cake tells the story of a young Italian man, Giovanni (Gio) who is reluctantly continuing his family tradition of bringing a cake to his Uncle's house to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his father's passing.
It's not long, however, before he witnesses a murder along the way that will force him to learn the truth behind his father's death and change his life forever.
It is composed of a B-type star and an unseen object that might be a black hole with an unexpectedly large mass.
Calculations of the system parameters at this distance contradict the properties derived from assumptions based on the spectral energy distribution and radial velocity variations.
The companion mass would be high enough that anything other than a black hole would be expected to be easily detected.
The black hole, LB-1 B or LB-1 *, at about 70 solar masses, is more than twice the mass as the maximum predicted by most current theories of stellar evolution.
It is in the stellar-mass black hole range, below the size of intermediate-mass black holes; however, it falls in the pair-instability gap of black hole sizes, whereby sufficiently massive black hole progenitor stars undergo pair-instability supernovae and complete disintegrate, leaving no remnant behind.
LB-1 is the first black hole discovered in the mass gap range, discovered by the LAMOST survey and announced in November 2019.
It was discovered by measuring the radial velocity shifts of its companion star, marking the first time a stellar black hole was discovered without observation of its X-ray emissions.
The observed companion, LB-1 A, or , is a B-type star nine times the mass of the Sun and located at least from Earth.
It was found to exhibit radial velocity variations by Chinese astronomers using the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) and the radial-velocity method to search for such wobbly stars.
Follow-up observations using the Gran Telescopio Canarias in Spain and the W. M. Keck Observatory in the United States better defined the findings.
The album was officially released with three members of the band, as it was produced after the departure of drummer Yuu.
He stayed there in four years before being released, then had a brief stay at Southern Premier League Hereford United in 2014 before the club collapsed.
After a brief period at Eastbourne Borough, O'Reilly returned in 2016 to the League of Ireland, playing with Longford Town and Finn Harps.
O'Reilly was selected as an unused sub for the Republic of Ireland U17 team in 2012, in a qualifying game against Kazakhstan.
The Clawson point is a special point in a planar triangle defined by the trilinear coordinates formula_1 (Kimberling number X(19)), where formula_2 are the interior angles at the triangle vertices formula_3.
There are at least two ways to constructs the Clawson point, which also could be used as coordinate free definitions of the point.
In both cases you have two triangles, where the three lines connecting their according vertices meet in a common point, which is the Clawson point.
For a given triangle formula_4 let formula_5 be its orthic triangle and formula_6 the triangle formed by the outer tangents to its three excircles.
These two triangles are similar and the Clawson point is their center of similarity, therefore the three lines formula_7 connecting their vertices meet in a common point, which is the Clawson point.
The point is now named after J. W. Clawson, who published his trilinear coordinates 1925 in the American Mathematical Monthly as problem 3132, where he asked for geometrical construction of that point.
On 29 November 2019, Cypriot broadcaster CyBC revealed that Sandro will represent Cyprus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
The seven meter high altarpiece is in brass, copper, steel, iron and glass delivered to the church's consecration, one of the artist Finn Christensen's main works.
The wall in the congregation hall is adorned with a large work of glass and steel by Benny Motzfeldt on loan from the Oslo municipal art collection from 2003.
The chapel has an altarpiece by Tor Lindrupsen (2000) who also made the sandblasted window in the choir at the church room's baptismal font (1997).
The Wittouck family is a noble Belgian family, that descends from the Seven Noble Houses of Brussels, established in Brussels since the 18th century.
Guillaume Wittouck, born in Drogenbos on October 30, 1749 and died in Brussels on June 12, 1829, lawyer at the Brabant Council, became Counselor at the Supreme Court of Brabant in 1791.
When Belgium joined France, he became substitute for the commissioner of the Directory at the Civil Court of the Department of the Dyle, then under the consulate, in 1800, judge at the Brussels Court of Appeal, then from 1804 to 1814, under the Empire, counselor at the Court of Appeal of Brussels, then advisor to the Superior Court of Brussels.
He married in Brussels (Church of Saint Nicolas) on June 29, 1778, Anne Marie Cools, born in Gooik on January 25, 1754, died in Brussels on April 11, 1824, daughter of Jean Cools and Adrienne Galmaert descendants of the Seven Noble Houses of Brussels.
Guillaume Wittouck acquired on 28th Floreal of the year VIII (18th May 1800) the castle of Petit-Bigard in Leeuw-Saint-Pierre with a field of one hundred hectares.
The premise of the series is that a teenaged Queen Cleopatra is brought to the far future to attend school and fight a space tyrant together with her friends Akila and Brian.

It is well-known for its badlands and extensive ravine systems, that have hosted an untold number of Dacoits and other antisocial elements.
It covers the districts of Baran, Kota, Sawai Madhopur, Karauli, and Dholpur districts of Rajasthan, parts of Agra, Firozabad, Etawah, Auriya and Jalaun districts of UP, and Bhind, Morena and Sheopur districts of Madhya Pradesh.
Southeastern tributaries like the Kali Sindh and Parbati begin at the extreme south of the Vindhyas and flow north in deep valleys, forming a triangular alluvial plain at elevation of 240-270 m. Afterwards the Banas, a northwestern tributary of the Chambal draining the Aravalli Range, joins the Chambal after crossing the hills near Sawai Madhopur in southeastern Rajasthan.
The valley of the Chambal is wider near the confluence of the Kali Sindh and the Parbati and narrower after the confluence of the Banas.
Most agree that the continuing extreme poverty and slow encroachment of agricultural lands and villages by the ravine systems have caused great hardship to villagers and people.
The caste oppression done by feudal thakurs like the Rajputs and Gujjars against lower castes like Nishads and Kurmis forced many into banditry.
Historically dacoits like Phoolan Devi and Man Singh gained huge followings among the people for being robin-hood figures challenging the hegemony of the landlords.
To this day dacoit gangs are mostly organized along caste lines, with Rajput, Gujjar, Kurmi, Dalit and Brahmin gangs each having followings belonging to their castes and receiving political patronage.
Sylvy Kornberg née Sylvia Ruth Levy (1917-1986) was an American biochemist who carried out research on DNA replication and polyphosphate synthesis.
She discovered and characterized polyphosphate kinase (PPK), an enzyme that helps build long chains of phosphate groups called polyphosphate (PolyP) that play a variety of metabolic and regulatory functions.
She worked closely with her husband and research partner, Arthur Kornberg, contributing greatly to the characterization of DNA polymerization that earned him the 1959 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
She was the eldest of three children to parents who were Jewish refugees from Latvia and Belarus with no formal education who had worked in factories their entire lives.
After high school, Sylvy enrolled in the University of Rochester, stating on her application that English and American history were her favorite subjects, while listing chemistry and general science as her least favorites.
Her attitude towards science soon changed - she became enamored to the point where she commuted from the College for Women's campus to the River Campus - the College for Men - to take advanced biology and chemistry courses that were only offered there.
She earned an undergraduate degree in biochemistry in 1938, then went on to earn a Masters of Science in biochemistry in 1940, also from the University of Rochester.
She carried out her graduate research at the university's School of Medicine and Dentistry under Walter Bloor, who specialized in lipids.
It was also here that she met her future husband and research partner, Arthur Kornberg, who was a medical school student at the time.
After earning her master's degree in biochemistry from the University of Rochester, Sylvy took a position at the National Cancer Institute, in Bethesda, Maryland, where she worked jointly with organic chemist Jonathan Hartwell, synthesizing novel carcinogens from plant extracts and biologist Murray Shear, studying their effects on mice.
During this time she edited science books from home for Interscience Publishers (now part of Wiley) and returned to the lab when her youngest son, Kenneth, was 3.
In 1953 they moved to Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri where Arthur took a position as professor and chair of the microbiology department.
They stayed there from 1953 to 1959, during which time Sylvy worked in the lab with Arthur, and contributed greatly to the work on DNA replication that would earn him the 1959 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which he shared with Severo Ochoa.
One large contribution Sylvy made to the work on DNA replication was the discovery and characterization of a contaminating enzyme that was inhibiting the DNA polymerization process they were trying to study.
Her work during her time at Washington University also included research into an enzyme responsible for synthesizing long chains of phosphate groups, called polyphosphate (PolyP) and studying their role in helping cells store and retrieve energy.
At Stanford, she researched how bacteria-infecting viruses (bacteriophages) are able to avoid destruction of bacterial DNA by modifying their own DNA letters through the addition of glucose molecules.
After retiring, she continued to review and edit manuscripts from home, and returned to the lab for a couple more years to work with Arthur on studying the mechanism of how the anticancer drug bleomycin interferes with DNA replication.
Their eldest, Roger Kornberg, became a professor of structural biology at Stanford University and received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2006 for work on transcription, the process in which the DNA instructions for making proteins are first copied into messenger RNA.
Their middle son, Thomas Kornberg, became a professor of biochemistry and physics at the University of California, San Francisco, and was the first to characterize DNA polymerases II and III.
Their youngest son, Kenneth Kornberg, became an architect and president of the Kornberg Association, which specializes in designing research and clinical care facilities.
Sylvy was stricken by a rare neurodegenerative disease related to ALS, whose first symptoms arose within a few years of moving to Stanford in 1959.
She became confined to a wheelchair, requiring round-the-clock care, and died at home in San Mateo, California, June 6, 1986, at the age of 69.
The men's 200 metres event at the 1975 Pan American Games was held in Mexico City on 14 and 15 October.
The facility's Child Life Zone was created through a partnership between Garth Brooks' Teammates for Kids Foundation and the Jim Pattison Children's Hospital Foundation.
The facility is named after Canadian business magnate Jim Pattison after a $50 million donation was announced in May 2017 by then Premier of Saskatchewan Brad Wall.
The programme Das Medium - Nachricht aus dem Jenseits shows how he helps to cope better with grief in individual consultations.
In the TV crime thriller Tatort: Zwischen zwei Welten, which was produced in Switzerland, there is the character Pablo Guggisberg, who is a medium that helps the police in their investigations.
In individual cases, schools invite Pascal Voggenhuber to talk to students about his work and these topics, for example in physics lessons.
Douglas's Texas Battery (also known as the Good-Douglas Texas Battery or Dallas Light Artillery Battery) was an artillery battery that served in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War.
In June 1861, the unit was formed by combining one group of men from Dallas with a second group from Tyler and placing them under the command of John Jay Good.
The battery fought at Pea Ridge in March 1862 and soon afterward transferred to the east side of the Mississippi River.
James Postell Douglas replaced Good as commander and led the battery at Richmond, Stones River, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, the Atlanta Campaign, Franklin, and Nashville.
After operations around Mobile, Alabama, Confederate units in the region surrendered and the survivors of the battery were paroled on 12 May 1865.
On 12 March 1859, John Jay Good formed 35 Dallas residents into the Dallas Light Artillery Battery, a unit belonging to the Texas militia.
On 20 April 1861, Good accepted a captain's commission from Governor Edward Clark and was ordered to report to San Antonio.
When he returned to Dallas, Good found that the Confederate States of America authorized him to raise a battery of artillery, which he began recruiting.
He was ordered to join his Dallas company with a second 50-man militia artillery company from Tyler led by James Postell Douglas.
When the full 100-man unit finally rendezvoused in Dallas on 13 June, the officers were named: Captain Good, First Lieutenant Douglas, and Second Lieutenants Alfred Davis, James Boren, and William Harriss.
Benjamin McCulloch soon ordered the 3rd Texas Cavalry to continue its march and it participated in the Battle of Wilson's Creek in 13 August.
However, Greer's rapid march through Indian Territory had damaged the equipment of Good's Battery to such an extent that it was compelled to halt at Fort Smith and effect repairs.
Confederate General Earl Van Dorn mounted a two pronged envelopment of the Federal army, sending McCulloch's division against Leetown from the northwest and Sterling Price's division against Elkhorn Tavern from the north.
On 7 March, Price's division made some progress, but the Leetown attack failed; McCulloch and another general were killed and a third leader captured.
At about 4:00 pm, Albert Pike assumed command of McCulloch's division and marched to join Price with 2,000 troops and Good's Battery.
The morning of 8 March revealed 21 Federal cannons under Franz Sigel in a position overlooking the Confederate right flank near Elkhorn Tavern.
Belatedly, Van Dorn ordered Good's six guns and the six guns of Wade's Missouri Battery to reply to the Union cannons.
When Good's Battery exhausted its ammunition, the men limbered up the guns and withdrew, leaving the flag behind in their haste.
It and other wandering artillery units were discovered by the 3rd Texas Cavalry and 1st Missouri Cavalry on 10 March and escorted back to the main army.
Since Price's Missourians led the retreat, McCulloch's men found very little to eat until the army crossed the Boston Mountains into central Arkansas.
Good fell ill and resigned his command on 10 May 1862, the same day that the battery reorganized; he later served as a military judge.
The battery's soldiers re-enlisted for two more years and elected new officers: Captain Douglas, First Lieutenant Boren, Second Lieutenant John Bingham, and Third Lieutenant Ben Hardin.
From this time forward, the unit was called Douglas's Texas Battery and its size was reduced from six guns to four guns: two 6-pounder field guns and two 12-pounder howitzers.
When Douglas allowed his tired cannoneers to ride on the caissons and gun carriages, he was placed under arrest by Preston Smith, his brigade commander.
In the Battle of Richmond at the end of August, Cleburne ordered Douglas's Battery to take a position in the center of his battle line.
For two hours there was a duel with 12 Union cannons, during which Boren commanded the two howitzers and Bingham directed the two 6-pounders.
In the lopsided victory that followed, the Confederates sustained losses of 78 killed, 372 wounded, and one missing while the Federals lost 206 killed, 844 wounded, plus 4,303 men and nine guns captured.
At the Battle of Stones River on 31 December 1862–2 January 1863, Douglas's Battery served with Mathew D. Ector's brigade in John P. McCown's division of William J. Hardee's corps.
At the start of the Confederate attack on the first day, Douglas's Battery was positioned on the left flank of McCown's division.
Douglas's Battery next fought in the Battle of Chickamauga on 19–20 September 1863 as part of the artillery battalion belonging to Cleburne's division of Daniel Harvey Hill's corps.
The unit was committed to the battle as darkness fell at 6:00 pm on the first day near the Winfrey Field.
Major T. R. Hotchkiss, Cleburne's chief of artillery, deployed all his batteries behind S. A. M. Wood's brigade in the center of Cleburne's line.
When the unit finally reached a clearing, it was targeted by two Federal batteries, so Douglas ordered it back behind a hill.
At the end of the day, Semple's Alabama Battery, Calvert's Arkansas Battery, and Douglas's Texas Battery supported the final Confederate assault.
As the Texans came under attack, Cleburne posted Douglas's Battery near Granbury's right flank so that it would enfilade the Union attackers.
Though they repulsed the Federal troops opposed to them, the rest of the army was beaten and they were compelled to retreat.
On 18 January 1864, every man of Douglas's Texas Battery re-enlisted for a term of 25 years or the duration of the war.
The Atlanta Campaign began in May 1864 in a year which would see Douglas's Battery fight in 16 battles or skirmishes.
During the Battle of Atlanta on 22 July, Douglas's Battery was sent into action at 4:00 pm with Thomas C. Hindman's division.
Dabney H. Maury and 10,000 Confederate soldiers with 300 guns defended Mobile against 45,000 Federal troops under Edward Canby in March and April 1865.
The survivors of Douglas's Texas Battery reported to Gainesville, Alabama where they gave their paroles on 12 May 1865 and went home.

The Columbia 33 Caribbean is an American sailboat that was designed by Wirth Munroe as deep water cruiser and first built in 1963.
The Columbia 33 Caribbean is a development of the Arco 33, which was built by Crystaliner, who completed 15 examples in 1959, before selling the molds to Columbia Yachts.
The Columbia 33 Caribbean design was developed into the Columbia 34 in 1966 with the addition of a new deck adapted from the Columbia 40 design.
The Columbia 33 Caribbean design was built by Columbia Yachts, who built 61 examples between 1963 and 1965, but it is now out of production.
It has a masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, a raised counter transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel with a retractable centerboard.
Aiguabarreig is a natural space with great importance as an area of reproduction, wintering and resting of migratory fauna located in Mequinenza (Bajo Cinca, Aragón, Spain).
It constitutes the largest river confluence of the Iberian Peninsula (with the union of Ebro, Segre and Cinca rivers) and one of the largest in all Europe.
The Aiguabarreig Segre-Cinca-Ebro is formed at the time that the Cinca river brings its water to the Segre river, in the municipal area of La Granja d'Escarp, and then they arrive to the Ebro river, already in Mequinenza.
It borders to the west with the Monegros, to the east with Almatret and to the south with the Ribarroja reservoir.
This great natural space is divided between two autonomous communities (Aragon and Catalonia) and also in two regions; Segrià for Catalonia and Bajo / Baix Cinca in Aragon.
A few kilometers later, the waters of Segre and Cinca converge with the waters of the Ebro, in the municipality of Mequinenza.
Aiguabarreig of Mequinenza is controlled by the Matarranya-Aiguabarreig Special Protection Area which has a length of 36,821 ha, of which 7,417.26 ha are located in the municipality of Mequinenza.
The Special Protection Area encompasses the central area of the Aiguabarreig, from the south of Torrente de Cinca, all the Mequinenza river area to the junction with the Matarraña river in the homonymous region.
It is also the point of confluence of the steppe flora, from the arid zone of Monegros and the Mediterranean flora that ascends through the Ebro valley, including some elements of the mountain.
The intertwined connection of river banks and lagoons with an arid and Mediterranean environment where vertical cliffs abound and at the same time fruit trees give this exceptional biological richness.
The landscape has a great contrast between the great wetland that forms the junction of the Ebro, Segre and Cinca rivers and the surrounding aridity, a circumstance that makes this place a strategic point for many birds, whether to winter, to reproduce or as stopping point in the long migratory route.
The fact of being located in the middle of the Ebro depression and the proximity of the Delta Natural Park allow the Aiguabarreig to become an extraordinary biological connector.
There is also presence of Rosmarinus officinalis and some thermophilic species, being frequent that diverse feet or small masses of Quercus coccifera or Juniperus phoenicea appear in its bosom.
There are also some characteristic species such as Populus alba, Salix alba or Tamarix gallica, and helophytes such as Phragmites australis or Typha domingensis.
Thanks to these characteristics, species from very opposite environments coexist where birds are the most prominent group, ranging from colonies of Ardeidae, in the fluvial islands, to all types of birds of pray, as well as birds typical of desert environments, including an extensive representation of species scarce and threatened in Europe.
Other well represented faunal groups are: reptiles, amphibians and mammals, the latter, with an extraordinary representation of different species of bats, an abundant population of deer, roe deer, presence of the otter and the increasingly abundant of wild goat, being able to reach and to observe them from the same town or in the castle of Mequinenza.
The accumulation of sediments in the Ribarroja reservoir has allowed to form different islands between the first confluences of the Segre and the Cinca in recent years until reaching the Ebro, already in the Aragonese population of Mequinenza.
Among them, it is worth highlighting the Illa dels Martinets that has become over the years an important nesting colony for many species of Ardeidae, such as the egret, the great egret, the little egret, the little bittern and the Black-crowned night heron.
The riverside forests and the well-preserved and large-scale reeds host an ornithic population, interesting and well nourished, which can be observed throughout the year, taking advantage of the different phases of this ecosystem; Rail (bird), Pythidae, Thrush (bird), Tit (bird), Finch, Bunting (bird).
In the steppe environment we will find: Little bustard, Black-bellied sandgrouse, Pin-tailed sandgrouse, European roller, Greater short-toed lark and Lesser short-toed lark.
Some of the most emblematic species in the areas of transition are Western Orphean warbler, Spectacled warbler,Blue rock thrush, Black wheatear and Black-eared wheatear.
The amphibians and reptiles identified in the Aiguabarreig are Common midwife toad, Pelobates cultripes, Common parsley frog, Common toad, Natterjack toad, Perez's frog, Spanish pond turtle, European pond turtle, Tarentola mauritanica, Acanthodactylus erythrurus, Ocellated lizard, Podarcis hispanicus, Psammodromus algirus, Psammodromus hispanicus, Ladder snake, Coronella girondica, Malpolon monspessulanus and Natrix maura.
The Aiguabarreig is, thanks to fishing, an international point of interest with hundreds of fishermen, particularly Central Europeans, who visit these rivers every year and enjoy the extensive network of existing offers around this activity.
The species of introduced fish, of great attraction for the fisherman, are especially the black bass, the pike-perch or the well-known catfish.
We must not forget the hundreds of naturalists who visit the area every year, attracted by its great biological diversity, particularly birdwatchers.The surroundings of the Aiguabarreig is marked by the coalfield of Mequinenza and the more than 150 years of mining history in the town.
Museums of Mequinenza focus on the mining and historical heritage of the Old Town of Mequinenza that was demolished and flooded under the waters of the Ebro River after the construction of the Ribarroja and Mequinenza reservoirs.
In the Museum of the Mine you can visit an authentic coal mine of more than a kilometer of interior route with historical material and machines that have been used for the extraction of coal for more than 150 years in the mining basin of Mequinenza.
In the Museum of the History of Mequinenza you can explore the past of the population, from Prehistory to the demolition of the old town of Mequinenza as well as a space dedicated to the mequinenzano writer Jesús Moncada.
Castle of Mequinenza stands almost on the edge of a great steep right at the confluence of the Ebro, Segre and Cinca rivers in Mequinenza.
Few fortresses will have a better location than this one, contemplating an extensive and impressive landscape over the confluence of the rivers and their surrounding lands, reaching the Pyrenees on clear days.
The building is an authentic Castle-Palace, one of the best that Gothic art bequeathed to the Crown of Aragon, dated to the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
Part of the ancient population of Mequinenza can be visited today because it has become a large outdoor memory park after its demolition and flooding by the Ebro swamps.
The original paths of the streets have been recovered from the runes and of the houses that were above the water level.
The program has a format similar to the American version, with 24 women competing for a single man to be selected as his romantic partner.
At the end of each episode, the candidates will be awarded a rose by the bachelor, symbolizing their continued stay in the contest.

Pubal ( or , born circa 24 July 2005) was a male European bison, or wisent, that became renowned in southeast Poland for his friendly interactions with humans and unwillingness to reintegrate into the wild.
Media coverage of his continuous escapes from captivity to seek out human contact earned him a degree of popularity with the public.
He has been described as one of the most famous wisents ever and the only known case of an individual of his species retaining friendly contact with humans throughout his entire life.
On the 26th of July, 2005, a lone bison calf was discovered and rescued by charcoal burning workers, in Rabe near Baligród, after a devastating flood swept across the Bieszczady Mountains.
His age was said to be no more than two days judging by the umbilical cord leftovers that were still present; it was speculated that the male calf was separated from his mother by the flood and thrown onto the road by the rising water levels.
For nine months, the Baligród forester Witold Szybowski with his wife Urszula looked after the young wisent, initially feeding him milk through a baby bottle.
Kompania Piwowarska, the brewing company of the popular Żubr beer brand, donated 2400 złoty to cover some of the growing bison's feeding costs.
In April 2006, Pubal was released into the wild near a wisent herd, but it was not long before he lost interest in representatives of his own species and continued to seek out human contact – at one point literally interrupting the picnic of a family of tourists and frightening them, before the group realised that he was not aggressive and completely tame.
The plan to reintroduce Pubal into the wild was carefully orchestrated in a way that could potentially increase the genetic diversity of the group of bison that were supposed to be his new herd, but even though he was spotted in their vicinity Pubal was relatively quickly seen on his own again and trying to find humans.
By early 2007, Pubal continued to resist all efforts made at reintegrating him into the wild by breaking out of his enclosures multiple times; when roaming free he was often seen wandering around local villages, approaching humans for food, walking between houses, interacting with people, and following cars.
Since Pubal weighed 250 kilograms at this point and there were concerns that he might end up hurting someone when frightened, a decision was made that he must leave the Bieszczady area for good.
In spring of 2007, the almost two-year-old bison was transported northwest to become the semen provider at a żubroń (domestic cattle and wisent hybrid) breeding farm in Karolew.
The owner of the farm, Henryk Ordanik, had heard about Pubal on TV; Ordanik worked together with the foresters under the approval of the authorities to secure Pubal's role as a semen provider at his farm.
The Subcarpathian rangers who had up until this point been looking after Pubal condemned the actions of a tour guide who had lured the animal out of his enclosure into a local town, further reinforcing Pubal's old habits of relying on people feeding him.
As of September 2009, Pubal was still taking an active part in experimental żubroń breeding efforts at the facility in Karolew with a degree of success in their results.
In addition to the widespread media coverage of his friendly encounters with local villagers and tourists alike, Pubal has also been mentioned in a number of books and articles.
Directed by Jacek Szarek, the same documentary received accolades and was later showed to pupils at primary schools in May 2008.

Her initial 300 jumps were carried out from a parachute tower as she was considered too young to jump from an aircraft.
Rousseau participated in the first French Parachuting Championship in 1953 and became French national champion in all categories, ahead of the men (all competition was mixed).
Throughout this time she had to wear a parachute rig intended for men and weighing , no female version being available.
The popular press depicted her as a rival of fellow French parachutist , though this may not have reflected the actual relationship between the two women.
On 25 August 1955 Rousseau set a new women's freefall parachute world record by jumping from a height of and opening her parachute only at the height of ; breaking a record set by Russian parachutist Aminet Sultanova.
She was awarded honorary FAI membership in 1982 and also received the FAI bronze medal and the Leonardo Da Vinci Parachuting Diploma.

Lydia Andrews Finney (March 8, 1804 - December 17, 1847), born Lydia Root, was a social reformer and evangelical revivalist during the Second Great Awakening.
She grew up with her family in the then religiously vibrant Whitestown, NY where she lived until she married her husband, Charles Grandison Finney, in 1824.
When she first met her would-be husband, he was not Christian and she prayed for his conversion, which would ultimately occur a few months after they first met in Adams, NY.
Along with helping her husband, she was one of the founders and first directress of the New York Female Moral Reform Society.
The group initially focused on what they saw as the widespread plague that was prostitution in America during the time, and advocated for approaches that would hold men as well as women responsible, as well as practical ways to reduce prostitution.
In 1835, her husband took a job teaching theology at Oberlin College in Ohio, and shortly after she and their children moved to join him.
She was very active both politically and socially in Oberlin, and helped found multiple organizations including the Oberlin Female Moral Reform Society, the Oberlin Maternal Association, and the Ohio Ladies Anti-Slavery Society.
The Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal sanctuary in Red Lodge, Montana with the mission of providing lifelong sanctuary to non-releasable Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem wildlife while sharing a message of education and conservation.
Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary was formed in 1983 as the Red Lodge Zoological Society, but changed its name to the Beartooth Nature Center around the time the facility opened on about adjacent to Red Lodge’s Coal Miner Park a few years later.
Mammal species represented as of 2019 include black bear, gray wolf, coyote, red fox, mountain lion, Canada lynx, bobcat, bison, porcupine, raccoon, and fox squirrel.
Like all other organizations of its kind, it is licensed by the USDA and regularly inspected by APHIS for compliance with the Animal Welfare Act.
It also carries a license from the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks and a migratory bird permit from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to keep birds in accordance with the Migratory Bird Act.
The epidemiology of the disease in India is a complex problem resulting from the geo-ecological diversity of the country, the multi-ethnicity of the population, and widely distributed transmitting vectors.
Around 95% of the country's population live are areas where malaria is endemic, 80% of malaria occurs among 20% of those classified as ‘high-risk populations’, who reside in Andhra Pradesh, Chhatisgarh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, and Rajasthan – the seven north-eastern states – and Sikkim.
At a national level, about two million cases of the disease resulting in around 1,000 deaths occur each year, although estimates by the South East Asia Regional Office of the World Health Organisation put the figures at 15 million cases causing 20,000 deaths.
A great achievement would be witnessed during the late 1950s and early 1960s, as a result of eradication efforts reducing malaria cases to just 100,000 in 1964.
Technical and operational guidelines are provided by the National Vector Borne Disease Control Program (NVBDCP) to the state governments and shared half of the costs of the programs.
Analyses show that for every Indian rupee invested by in National Malaria Control Program pays a dividend of 19.7 rupees in savings.
In April 1953, the Government of India commenced the National Malaria Control Program, which proved highly successful and significantly reduced the total number of malaria cases to around 2 million by 1958.
In 1971-72 an urban malaria scheme (UMS) was commenced and a modified plan of operation (MPO) followed in 1977, improving the malaria situation for 5-6 years, providing easy availability of drugs, reducing morbidity and preventing deaths.
The Enhanced Malaria Control Project (EMCP) was launched in April 1997 and implemented in 181 districts across India, with the financial assistance of the World Bank.
It consisted in five components: early diagnosis and prompt treatment, selective vector control, insecticide-treated bed nets, epidemic response and inter-sectoral collaboration, and institutional strengthening.
This program directly benefited the tribal population of eight peninsular states covering 100 districts and 19 urban areas, as well as the population living in other malaria endemic areas.
India reported 3 million fewer cases in 2017 compared with 2016, a 24% decrease, being a unique case reporting progress in reducing its malaria cases in the period.
Abram Flaxer (1904-1989) was an American union leader who founded the State, County, and Municipal Workers of America (SCMWA), which merged with the United Federal Workers of America (UFWA) to form the United Federal Workers of America (UFWA), of which he became president.
Around 1910, his family immigrated to the United States, where they settled in the Williamsburg, Brooklyn area of New York City.
He studied at the Rand School of Social Science and then the City College of New York, where he received a BS (or AB).
In 1932, he obtained a degree from New York University Law School; that summer, he also studied mathematics at Columbia University.
He joined the New York City Emergency Relief Bureau (ERB) and the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and became ERB executive secretary.
Flaxer gained political relationships with New York City's Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia and Harlem-based Congressman Vito Marcantonio (and joined Marcantonio's American Labor Party).
Flaxer helped form the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union, an American Federation of Labor (AFL) member.
In 1937, Flaxer broke with the AFSCME to form the New York-based State, County and Municipal Workers of America (SCMWA) union as member of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO).
As of 1944, his Popular Front memberships included the Committee on Election Rights, Prestes Defense Committee, Schappes Defense Committee, Reichstag Fire Trial Anniversary Committee, National Federation for Constitutional Liberties, American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born, American Committee to Save Refugees, United Spanish Aid Committee, Non-Partisan Committee for the Re-election of Congressman Vito Marcantonio, National Negro Congress, Public Use of Arts Committee, and National Council of American-Soviet Friendship.
In January 26–28 and February 2, 1948, a hearing of the House Education and Labor Subcommittee, chaired by U.S. Representative Clare E. Hoffman, occurred on the topic of a strike by United Cafeteria and Restaurant Workers (Local 471) and its parent, the United Public Workers of America (UPWA), CIO, against Government Services, Inc. (GSI), which had already lasted nearly a month.
On January 26, 1948, UPWA negotiations director Alfred Bernstein (father of Carl Bernstein), charged that House committee agents had raided the union's offices.
During January, William S. Tyson, solicitor for the Labor Department, and Robert N. Denham, general counsel for the National Labor Relations Board, both agreed that nothing in the Taft-Hartley Act prohibited GSI from bargaining with a non-complying union.
On November 24, 1948, Flaxer sent a letter to Truman decrying the tendency to brand a person disloyal simply because they advocated for improvements in civil rights.
On August 8, 1951, Flaxer's ex-wife Vivian White Soboleski testified that Flaxer had been a Communist Party member and that he had joined in 1935.
On August 23, 1951, Louis F. Budenz testified that he had known Flaxer (as well as Alfred Bernstein, father of journalist Carl Bernstein) as a Communist Party member from 1940 to 1945 (when Budenz left the Party).
On October 5, 1951, Flaxer appeared before the United States Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security (SSIS) but refused to name names on the UPWA membership list.
On October 6, 1953, he was found guilty by jury of contempt of Congress and sentence to two months in jail plus a $1,000 fine.
Some time after 1940, Flaxer married Charlotte Rosswaag, who served in the SCMWA as a welfare investigator as well as chair of its Lower Manhattan subgroup.
The group was founded in 2012 and consists of Eric Knight (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Ramon Blanco (lead guitar), Gui Bodi (bass), and Chris Toeller (drums).
The band performed at Dew Tour 2017 in June, and opened the 2017 Gladiator MMA Championship Series on July 8 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
The band has cited acts like Muse, Foo Fighters, Queen, The Who, Stone Temple Pilots, U2 and Led Zeppelin as influences.

The Armed Forces, fearing that this scandal might lead to another uprising or a takeover from the APRA party, seized absolute power and closed down Congress, almost all of whose members were briefly incarcerated.
General Velasco seized power on October 3, 1968, in a bloodless military coup, deposing the democratically elected administration of Fernando Belaúnde, under which he served as Commander of the Armed Forces.
Initial reaction against the coup evaporated after five days when on October 8, 1968, the oil fields in dispute were taken over by the Army.
At 1:00 AM on Thursday of October 3, 1968, an armored squadron of tanks went from the Tank Division towards the Presidential Palace in the capital city of Lima, along with support from the armed forces.
Although rumors of a coup and of a possible overthrow circulated around the Council of Ministers and Presidential Cabinet, no special measures were taken in the event of defending the palace from mutiny.
Additionally, due to the early timing, the chief military aide to President Belaúnde was still sleeping at his home away from the Presidential Palace, and the Presidential Guards immediately surrendered at the site of the armored squadron at the steps of the pavilion.
At 2 AM, President Belaúnde was woken up and dragged out of his bed in his pajamas by Velasco-Alvarado and his militants.
Close advisers to Belaúnde also reportedly saw him as drugged the night before the coup, presumably by traitors in the presidential residence itself.
After hearing a barrage of bullets outside the palace in the morning, Belaúnde found himself alone in the Presidential Palace along with a couple of other family members and ministers.
Following the coup d'état, at 7 AM, Belaúnde was taken to a barracks and was forcibly taken to Jorge Chavez International Airport in Callao, Peru.
Velasco, having assumed authority, immediately ordered Belaúnde to be deported, and ordered an ASPA (a privately owned international Peruvian airline) jet on the runway of the airport.
The President of the Council of Ministers, as well as many other Ministers, were rushed at their homes and the presidential palace.
Prior to being attacked and hearing of Belaúnde's arrest, the President of the Council of Ministers attempted to establish order by calling an emergency Cabinet meeting to swear in the Vice President, Mario Polar.

The 1928 United States presidential election in Indiana took place on November 6, 1928, as part of the 1928 United States Presidential Election which was held throughout all contemporary 48 states.
Since the Civil War, partisan alliances in Indiana had been related to history of White settlement, with most of Southern Indiana and German-settled counties voting strongly Democratic, opposed to Yankee-settled Northern Indiana which voted Republican.
Some breakdown of these traditional loyalties took place in the 1920s due to German opposition to Woodrow Wilson’s World War I policies, but these occurred to a lesser extent than in other Midwestern states because of the conservative dominance within Indiana’s Democratic Party.
1928, with most other Democrats standing out as they felt the part had no chance of winning due to the prosperous economy, saw New York Governor Al Smith nominated almost by default.
Many traditionally Democratic Upland Southerners recoiled at the nomination of Smith because he was a devout Catholic, opposed to Prohibition, and associated with the corruption of the Tammany Hall political machine.
Ultimate Republican nominee, Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover of California, lost the GOP primary in the Hoosier State but was untroubled to win the nomination nationally.
The Democratic primary was held very late in the primary season and was won by Smith, who by then had already effective wrapped up the nomination, despite the state originally casting its vote for favorite son Evans Woollen.
In a state whose farmers’ were suffering a financial crisis amidst national prosperity due to the loss of demand following the war, the Indiana Farm Bureau would not endorse either ticket.
However, as early as the beginning of July politicos said that prohibitionist and anti-Catholic forces in Indiana gave Smith no chance of carrying the state, despte Smith saying he would enforce the law if elected.
At the end of August, pollsters were already suggesting that the latent opposition of the anti-Catholic Ku Klux Klan – which had all but ruled Indiana earlier in the 1920s – and the prohibitionist Anti-Saloon League in rural areas of Indiana would of itself make it impossible for Smith to carry the state.
Hoover visited Indiana late in August as part of the Lake County Fair, focusing on the agricultural crisis and, alongside Iowa Senator Smith W. Brookhart, blaming the Democrats and the Federal Reserve System for the extant farm crisis.
Smith did not visit the state during the fall campaign, and polls throughout that season saw the state as safe for Hoover.
Ultimately Hoover carried the state by 20.09 percentage points, which was at the time the best Republican result ever achieved in Indiana, although it was beaten in 1956, 1972, 1984 and 2004.

Raab fought in the Second Schleswig War as a volunteer and later in his career became the first Chief of the General Staff.
With his international outlook, his concrete experience of the everyday life of the war and his great work capacity, Raab was one of the Swedish Army's foremost officers during the 19th century.
He contributed actively to lifting the army out of its difficult recession in the 1860s and initiated the modernization of higher staff functions, officer training and organization which in 1885 would result in a decisive decision on an extension of the conscription defence and rounded off with the replacement of the Allotment system with a conscription-based defence in 1901.
Raab was employed as an adjutant to Carl von Mansbach, the Swedish-Norwegian minister in Berlin, and he attended the Prussian Staff College from 1855 to 1858.
When the Second Schleswig War broke out in 1864, Raab sought and obtained a position as a senior lieutenant in the Danish Army.
Initially employed at the headquarters, he participated in the battle of Dybbøl on 17 March, but was soon seconded from there and assumed command of the 1st Company of Swedish and Norwegian volunteers of captain Aaröe's corps.
Best known among the expeditions carried out by this company under Raab's leadership is the nightly operation to Loit church village in Schleswig, at which time several prisoners were taken.
For his participation in the war, however, Raab did not only receive praise, for many considered it less appropriate, since he had to thank Prussia for a not insignificant part of his military education.
In 1865, Raab was promoted to captain of the Swedish Army and was appointed the same year as information officer in tactics, regulations and war articles at the Military Academy Karlberg.
During this time, he was promoted to captain in Kalmar Regiment in 1869, in 1870 to major in the army and in 1872 to lieutenant colonel in the army.
In 1873 he drew up the proposal for criteria for a new, based on general conscription, fully contemporary army organization, which, after being examined by a committee, in whose work Raab was ordered to participate, was the basis for King in Council's presentation on the subject to the Riksdag of 1875.
Raab became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of War Sciences in 1863 and was editor of its journal from 1870 to 1871.
With indomitable energy, he fought his way into the end for the attainment of the objective, which he made to his life's work: the raising of his country's defense capability.
On the other hand, he succeeded in making important improvements in other areas of the Swedish defense system, such as the General Staff's organization and the reforming of the Royal Swedish Army Staff College.
Raab married on 7 September 1869 in Stockholm to Lovisa (Louise) Johanna Charlotta Grill (19 May 1841 in Stockholm – 23 January 1908 in Stockholm), the daughter of Johan Daniel Grill, a physician, and Sofia Elisabeth Grill.
It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador.

Henry Corrales (born August 11, 1986), is an American mixed martial artist currently competing in the Featherweight division of Bellator MMA.
A professional since 2011, he has also competed for King of the Cage, where he is the former Featherweight and Bantamweight Champion.
Corrales made his professional debut in the spring of 2011, winning his first six fights before being given a title shot for the King of the Cage Featherweight Championship.
He then picked up three consecutive wins before being matched up with former Olympic wrestler and touted MMA prospect Aaron Pico at Bellator 214.
In a thrilling but quick bout, Corrales was knocked down early by Pico but was able to come back and knock Pico out with a right hook from the clinch.
After the big win over Pico which brought his win streak to five, Corrales faced former Bellator Bantamweight Champion Darrion Caldwell at Bellator 228.

The Dresden White Diamond (also known as Dresden White or the Saxon White) is a cushion-cut diamond that probably originated from the Golconda mines in Southern India.
When the diamond was first shown to Frederick Augustus I, the King of Saxony, he was so captivated by the cut, clarity, and color of the gem that he chose to acquire it at any cost.
In 1746, goldsmith Jean Jacques Pallard designed the elaborate Golden Fleece ornament for Frederick Augustus and the Dresden White was placed at the top of the design.
The contents were then placed on display in Dresden's Albertinium, which was built on the same site as the original Dresden museum.
On November 25, 2019, a group of thieves stole much of the jewelry in the Green Vault during the 2019 Dresden heist, including the White Diamond.

Disaggregated Storage is a type of data storage within data centers that allows compute resources within a server to be separated from storage resources without modifying physical connections.
A form of composable disaggregated infrastructure, it allows resources to be connected via a network fabric providing flexibility when upgrading, replacing, or adding individual resources.
It also allows servers to be built for future growth, offering greater storage efficiency, scale and performance than traditional data storage without compromising throughput and latency.
Storage area networks are used to allocate storage to dozens or possibly hundreds of servers, which increases capacity utilization, but storage area networks use specialized network hardware and/or protocols that can come with disadvantages.
Conventional storage networking doesn’t provide sufficient throughput or latency minimization needed by many applications, and fails to provide enough bandwidth to utilize the full performance of new flash technologies.
Disaggregated storage is a form of scale-out storage, built with some number of storage devices that function as a logical pool of storage that can be allocated to any server on the network over a very high performance network fabric.
Protocols like NVMe-oF on these very high bandwidth connections take full advantage of network improvements, removing bottlenecks, boosting performance and reducing latency.
Different levels of storage disaggregation functionality exist, with the most flexible, full disaggregation, enabling storage capacity and/or performance to be provisioned from any storage device to any server on the network, then expanded, shrunk, or reprovisioned as new requirements emerge.

Precipitation runoff from the peak and meltwater from its immense glaciers drains into tributaries of the Squamish River and Clowhom River.
The mountain was named for Chief Jimmy Jimmy (native name Swahsh), a leader of the Squamish Nation, who had traplines in the vicinity of the mountain.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Jimmy Jimmy is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.

She became a hairdresser and opened up a chain of hair salons in Tallahassee, ultimately deciding to run for office after testifying against a proposed regulation that she thought would hurt hair stylists.
In 1998, Kilmer announced that she would run against incumbent Democratic State Representative Jamey Westbrook in the 7th District, which stretched from Miramar Beach to Marianna and Tallahassee.
Shortly after Westbrook filed for re-election, he was indicted for defrauding a federal peanut quota program after he falsified farming quotas and federal disaster claims for farmers.
Shortly afterwards, Westbrook's wife, Gayle Westbrook, also filed to run in the Democratic primary, and they announced that they would decide which of them would actually run for the seat.
A contentious general election ensued in the ancestrally Democratic district, with Westbrook emphasizing his humble roots, and his innocence of the charges brought against him, by airing television advertisements showing him riding his tractor through his peanut fields—which inadvertendly reminded voters of his looming indictment.
In the end, Kilmer narrowly defeated Westbrook, 51–49%, winning by just 800 votes, which came from her sizable margins in Bay County, which she won 66–34%, and in Walton County, where she won 76–24%.
Kilmer joined a Republican-dominated legislature and Republican Governor Jeb Bush, which was the first time that the state had been governed exclusively by Republicans since Reconstruction.
When Kilmer ran for re-election in 2000, she was challenged by Westbrook, who was acquitted of the charges against him just weeks after he lost re-election in 1998.
The state party targeted Kilmer for defeat, hoping that Westbrook's acquittal and the district's history of voting for Democrats would allow them to pick it up.
However, Kilmer ended up expanding her margin of victory over Westbrook, defeating him 53–47% as the Florida Panhandle overwhelmingly backed George W. Bush over Al Gore in the presidential election.
Kilmer sought a third and final term in the House in 2002, when she was opposed by businessman Cliff Thomas, the Democratic nominee.
Despite Kilmer's close previous races, Thomas received little outside support and ultimately lost in a landslide, receiving only 41% of the vote to Kilmer's 59%.
Senator Bob Graham opted to run for President rather than seek re-election, Congressman Allen Boyd, who represented the 2nd District, considered running to replace Graham.
If Boyd vacated the seat, Republicans were bullish on their chances of replacing him, and began recruiting Kilmer to run for the seat.
She joined the race with significant support from the Republican establishment, with First Lady Laura Bush, House Speaker Dennis Hastert and NRCC Chair Tom Reynolds coming to the district to host fundraisers on Kilmer's behalf.
Kilmer was able to keep relative financial parity with Boyd, raising $1 million to Boyd's $1.6 million, and had influential figures in the Republican Party come to the district to campaign for her.
Boyd ran a television advertisement accusing Kilmer of voting to provide her husband's company, All-Tech Southeast, with a $600,000 grant from the state Department of Community Affairs, which prompted All-Tech to file a lawsuit against Boyd for defamation of character.
Meanwhile, Kilmer attracted criticism for copying her answers to an AARP questionnaire from materials distributed by the NRCC, which prompted an internal investigation on Kilmer's campaign as to how the copying had occurred.
By the end of the campaign, however, observers predicted that Boyd had a clear advantage, which was ultimately borne out on Election Day, when Boyd defeated Kilmer in a landslide, winning 62% of the vote to her 38%.
After losing her 2004 congressional campaign and leaving the State House, Kilmer took a job as a grants administrator for the Florida Department of Education.
When Kilmer's successor in the State House, David Coley, passed away from liver cancer in 2005, Kilmer considered running to succeed him in the special election that followed, but ultimately deferred to Coley's widow, Marti Coley, who ended up winning the seat.
In 2016, Kilmer announced that she would challenge State Representative Brad Drake, who eventually succeeded Coley in Kilmer's old seat, in the Republican primary.
As the primary drew closer, Kilmer came under fire in local news coverage for whether she met the constitutional residency requirements.
Kilmer had, ostensibly, moved to Texas, where she had registered to vote and cast ballots in several elections, which would have made her ineligible to run for the legislature until the following year.
In the end, however, Kilmer lost her comeback bid by an overwhelming margin, receiving only 26% of the vote to Drake's 76%, and winning none of the counties in her former district.
According to the British Parliament's Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation 2013 report, Khan travelled to the Federally Administered Tribal Areas in Pakistan before his eventual December 2010 arrest.
Khan was interviewed by the BBC in 2008, when he denied being a terrorist; he issued the same denials to a local paper using a false name.
He was 17 at the time, but following a 20-month investigation, it was determined there was insufficient evidence, was not charged.
Khan, like all the others, envisioned returning to the UK from their Kashmiri training camp, together with future recruits, to engage in unspecified terror attacks.
Khan proposed to raise funds in the UK as opposed to overseas, arguing supporters in the UK earn in a day what donors in Kashmir earn in a month.
Following his arrest, Khan admitted travelling to the plotter's 2010 tactical meetings in Cardiff in November and in Newport in December.
Under the indeterminate sentence, Khan would have remained in prison for as long as it was felt necessary to keep the public safe.
Along with Nazam Hussain and Mohammed Shahjahan, also from Stoke, Khan appealed against the sentences and had the indeterminate sentences dropped by the Court of Appeal in 2013.
Khan's solicitor Vajahat Sharif claimed that Khan had become disillusioned with Al-Muhajiroun and that during his prison sentence he had repeatedly requested the help of a deradicaliser, to no avail.
In 2012, after being convicted of offences related to a plot to bomb the London Stock Exchange, Khan was sentenced to be kept in prison for an indeterminate time.
Following an appeal in 2013, his indeterminate sentence was quashed, and in its place he was given a 16-year prison sentence, which meant he would be entitled to automatic release on licence after having served eight years.
Ownership of the building was acquired in 1989 by the Chattooga County Historical Society, along with a long-term lease on the land with Norfolk Southern Corporation.
It planned to restore the depot for use by the historical society and other civic organizations and to include museum exhibits.
When listed in 1992, there were plans for an original block and tackle and telegraph key to be restored to the property.
Alexander Kennedy (11 November 1837 – 12 April 1936) was a Scottish colonist who was at the forefront of the British occupation of the Cloncurry region in Queensland, Australia.
He established large cattle stations around Cloncurry and participated in several massacres of Aborginal Australians who were resident to this area.
At the age of 23, he signed up to a migration scheme that facilitated the emigration of Scottish locals to the British colony of Queensland.
He was tasked with overseeing blackbirded South Sea Islander labourers whom he thrashed with a stockwhip when they refused to work.
In 1876 he decided to sell out of the area with the view of establishing cattle stations in the far north-west of Queensland, which was yet to be colonised by the British.
In 1878, Kennedy with his family and business partners, drove a large mob of cattle 1,127 kilometres from Rockhampton to his newly selected property on Suleiman Creek located between Boulia and Cloncurry.
Aboriginal Australians living in the region immediately began defending their lands by killing four cattlemen at Woonamo waterhole on Suleiman Creek.
As was the custom at the time, Kennedy also took young Aboriginal boys from the native camps to utilise them as servants.
In this period Kennedy established a number of cattle stations in the Cloncurry area including Buckingham Downs, Noranside and Bushy Park.
Again he used force against local Aboriginals to acquire the land and led at least two missions to destroy local native camps.
Despite his own efforts, Kennedy was not able to fully negate Aboriginal resistance at Calton Hills and travelled to Brisbane to meet with the Queensland Police Commissioner, David Thompson Seymour, where he demanded more action toward the removal of Aboriginal people from his property.
Seymour promised Kennedy that more patrols would be undertaken by the Native Police in the region and also indicated that Kennedy could continue with his own punitive expeditions in the meantime.
Conflict continued with the local Kalkadoon and Maithakari people at Calton Hills, and in 1884 Kennedy's business partner, James White Powell, was killed.
Kennedy, together with sub-inspector Frederic Urquhart of the Native Police and his troopers, conducted a large, month long punitive mission resulting in a number of massacres of Aboriginal people.
Kennedy and Urquhart became close associates with Kennedy participating in later Native Police patrols which eventually subdued Aboriginal resistance in the area.
By 1892, Kennedy had established another cattle property near Cloncurry which he named Devoncourt and ran a total of nearly 30,000 head of cattle on his combined land holdings.
He became a member of Cloncurry's first council while his son discovered a large copper deposit south of the town in 1897 which was sold to a mining company for £15,000.
In later life, Kennedy became keenly interested in aviation and in 1920 he was convinced by Hudson Fysh and other founders of Qantas to become a provisional director and initial investor in the fledgling airline company.
On 3 November 1922, at the age of 84, Kennedy became the first paying customer on a scheduled Qantas passenger service, flying from Longreach to Cloncurry.
Kennedy's and his wife's ashes were transported by a Qantas aircraft from Brisbane to his Devoncourt property near Cloncurry where they were interred a monument.
The 1946 New Hampshire Wildcats football team was an American football team that represented the University of New Hampshire as a member of the New England Conference during the 1946 college football season.
With the exception of a four-game limited schedule played in 1944, this was the first football season for the Wildcats since 1942, and their first eight-game season since 1941.
Wildcat Carmen Ragonese, selected by the Boston Yanks in the 1948 NFL Draft, was a 1982 inductee to the university's athletic hall of fame.
One of his 1946 highlights was an endzone-to-endzone interception return against Rhode Island State; reported as 101 yards in contemporary newspapers, it still stands as a Wildcat record, listed by the university as 104 yards.
Claudia Rodríguez Abella (born 2 May 1995) is a Venezuelan footballer who plays as a defender for Spanish Primera Nacional club and the Venezuela women's national team.
As a result of an unauthorized transfer of control of the radio station, the Federal Communications Commission ordered its license revoked in 1939 and the station off air as of February 1, 1940.
KUMA traces its roots to the first radio station to broadcast from Flagstaff, Arizona, KFXY, which went on air December 10, 1925.
KFXY operated with 25 watts from facilities backstage at the Orpheum Theater; it was put on the air by Mary M. Costigan, who was the first woman to be a licensed radio broadcaster in the state.
At the time she obtained the license, national newspapers in the United States claimed that Costigan was thus the only woman known to own a radio station anywhere in the world.
After being moved from its initial frequency assignment of 1460 kHz to 1420 kHz under General Order 40 in 1928, the station relocated its facilities to room 105 of the Hotel Monte Vista in 1929.
The sale came the same year that Costigan left town, afraid she would witness another family death after her father and brother both died in Flagstaff.
On February 3, 1932, KFXY filed for a construction permit to move its facilities from Flagstaff to Yuma, a relocation spanning .
Schermann sold an interest in KUMA to E. B. Sturdivant, the operator of movie theaters in Yuma and Somerton, in February 1934, and in June 1935, Sturdivant took outright control of the radio station.
Under Sturdivant, the station commissioned a new, taller tower in 1937, built at a cost of $20,000 by D. H. Harrel of Chicago.
On February 20, 1939, the Federal Communications Commission announced that it was revoking KUMA's license due to false statements made by Schermann in his application to renew it.
The FCC claimed that Schermann—who was still the licensee—had certified that he was in control, though Sturdivant had been operating the station for five years.
KUMA was ordered off the air by April 1 unless it asked for a hearing, in which case the outcome was stayed.
Ahead of the July 24 hearing, Sturdivant filed to take control of the KUMA facilities itself, while the Yuma Broadcasting Company, 45 percent owned by KTAR radio of Phoenix, filed to build a station at 1210 kHz.
At the hearing, Schermann's lawyer indicated that he was willing to relinquish the license because the station had been an unprofitable venture and the new Yuma station application, taking the KYUM call letters, had been accepted, but he requested that KUMA be allowed to remain in operation until KYUM was ready to sign on.
The financial difficulties had led to Schermann suing E. B. and E. N. Sturdivant in Yuma County court that July to recover $8,000 in equipment and other property, a lawsuit Schermann won.
In a newspaper advertisement that served as a notice to creditors, E. B. Sturdivant announced that he had sold his remaining interest in KUMA to Schermann effective November 11, 1939.
On January 25, 1940, the FCC announced it had upheld the revocation order and ordered KUMA off the air February 1.
Morsal Obeidi (7 September 1991 – 15 May 2008) was a German-Afghan girl who was murdered in an honour killing in Hamburg.
Her brother Ahmad Sobair Obeidi killed her, making it an act of sororicide, and he was jailed for life for the act.
He left the country as pro-Soviets lost control of Afghanistan at the end of the Soviet–Afghan War, and in 1992 arrived in Hamburg, which already had a sizeable expatriate Afghan population.
When the headmaster of the latter told her that her academic performance was such that she could not graduate on time, her parents took her out of school.
Her brother's first law enforcement record was at age 13, and he left school and did not gain a sufficient command of German.
He had committed multiple burglaries and assaults on others, and for these crimes, in 2009, German courts had convicted him on thirty counts total.
Her father, who became a bus driver, had difficulty obtaining high quality employment and assimilating into German society, and he criticized Morsal for assimilating too much and Ahmad for committing crimes.
Ahmad wanted her to lead an Islamic lifestyle, something she did not do; he believed his sister should not have a partying lifestyle that he himself had.
Law enforcement records stated that the father and brother began to abuse her, and she sought help from Hamburg's Children's and Youth Emergency Service (Kinder- und Jugendnotdienst or KJND).
In March 2007 her family sent her to Mazar-i-Sharif to Islamize her, and she stayed there for nine months before returning on the condition of obedience.
The family later moved to Flensburg in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, and she tried living with them there, but left again.
Ahmad was convicted of a crime and sentenced to a prison term of one year and five months in October 2007; he had no parole eligibility.
The court ordered him to report to prison on 2 May 2008 but he did not begin his sentence at that time.
On 9 May, his lawyer made a request to start the sentence at a later time, but on 15 May the court upheld the start of his sentencing.
She was murdered by stabbing at age 16 by Ahmad Obeidi on 15 May 2008, at a parking lot of a McDonald's, by the Berliner Tor station in St. Georg, Hamburg-Mitte.
Ahmad asked Mohammed, his and Morsal's cousin, to secretly arrange a meeting between the brother and sister there, but the brother did not tell Mohammed that he planned to kill his sister.
The girl sustained a total of 23 stab wounds; her arms, back, legs, and stomach were hit, and her heart and lungs sustained damage.
She was buried in an area for Muslims in a cemetery in Öjendorf, an area in the Billstedt neighbourhood in Hamburg-Mitte.
In an interview on Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) Ahmad's mother publicly expressed dislike for her son and his father labeled him as a criminal.
Ahmad admitted to the crime; his argument to the court was that it was a crime of passion and not premeditated and therefore it would be manslaughter.
Mature female cones are sometimes mistaken for flowers at a distance, as they appear in groups of several cones at stem joints.
Native populations can be found growing in the county of Socorro, New Mexico, and several counties in Texas including; Andrews, Dawson, Ector, Gaines, Howard, Loving, Lubbock, Midland, Terry, Ward, and Winkler.
The IUCN Red List classifies this species as one of Least-concern because there are currently no threats facing the known populations.
IUCN has noted that no known seed collections have been made in recent years, making it unlikely that such methods will be utilized in the near future.

The Australian Government Workers Association was an Australian trade union representing workers employed by state and federal governments, despite its name based only in South Australia.
It was founded on 26 May 1906 by Ernest Roberts as the South Australian Railways General Workers' Association, but in August that year broadened its reach and renamed itself the South Australian Government General Workers' Association.
A number of South Australian Labor figures served in union leadership, including Edward Alfred Anstey, John McInnes, Ralph Jacobi, Frank Nieass, John Price and George Weatherill, while Dorothy Coombe was a notable early woman union official.
The forerunners of the United Firefighters Union of South Australia broke away from the union in the early 1970s after being dissatisfied with their representation.
The charges led to a bitter internal dispute which included a legal battle and a physical brawl at a union meeting and threatened to spill over into internal state Labor politics.

Nehemiah 6 is the sixth chapter of the Book of Nehemiah in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, or the 16th chapter of the book of Ezra-Nehemiah in the Hebrew Bible, which treats the book of Ezra and book of Nehemiah as one book.
This chapter records the continuing opposition to Nehemiah from external (Sanballat, Tobiah, and their allies) and internal (the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets) sources.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes Codex Leningradensis (1008).
Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; formula_1; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: formula_1; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; formula_1; 5th century).
As a leader, Nehemiah holds his motives and conduct blameless, but at the same time, he must understand and deal wisely with the opposition 'who seek to compromise God’s work'.
Sanballat hoped that Nehemiah would follow the logical action against the rumors of threats, the way he and his allies would do, that is, 'given to ambition, opportunistic maneuvering, and dedicated to self-preservation', but Nehemiah 'refused to become distracted by the ploy of politics' and keep his devotion to God.
The establishment of fortifications doesn’t give full security, as opposition and dangers can always threaten the community of faith, but only the godly character of the people is the greatest defense against the threats.

On 3 February 2018, Amber-Rose Rush's mother Lisa Ann Rush, her partner Brendon MacNee, and older brother Jayden Rush had found the Dunedin teenager dead in her own bedroom.
In court, Jayden recalled that he had knocked on her door after midnight but did not get a response from her and assumed she was asleep.
They also sought to speak to anyone who have visited the quarry or beach area between 11.30pm on February 2 and 12.30am on February 3.
Police also took an interest in the a dark-coloured vehicle believed to be a Toyota Camry, which was parked in the car park at Blackhead Quarry.
The sole suspect was Venod Skantha, who at the time of Amber-Rose Rush's death had worked as a house officer at the Dunedin Public Hospital, which is managed by the Southern District Health Board.
In mid-2016, Skantha started his medical career at Southland Hospital in Invercargill before transffering to the Dunedin Public Hospital the following year.
Prior to Amber-Rose's death, Skantha had reportedly faced dismissal from the Dunedin Public Hospital for being drunk while performing an operation and negligent behaviour.
According to the Crown, the victim had threatened during a heated exchange on February 2, 2019, to report Skantha to his employers and the authorities for molesting teenagers, offering them money for sex and supplying them with alcohol during a heated Instagram exchange.
The Crown argued that the defendant had hired a teenage friend to drive him to Amber-Rose's house where he murdered her in order to prevent her from reporting him to the authorities.
The trial of Venod Skantha commenced on 4 November 2019 before Justice Gerald Norton and a jury of ten men and two women.
The Crown prosecutor Richard Smith said that Amber-Rose Rush was part of a group of teenagers than Skantha had befriended and supplied alcohol and drugs.
The Crown argued that Skantha had allegedly indecently assault Amber-Rose in early 2018 and claimed that he had murdered her in order to prevent her from informing the authorities, which would have ended his medical career.
The Crown also said that Skantha had gotten a 16-year-old friend (who has name suppression) to drive him to Amber-Rose's house so that he could murder her.
The Crown said that blood likely to belong to Amber-Rose had been found in the defendant's silver BMW, a plastic bag containing the defendant's clothes, and a pair of shoes found at the defendant's girlfriend's house in Balclutha.
Skantha's defence lawyer Jonathan Eaton QC disputed the Crown's evidence, claiming that his client did not know the layout of the Rush home.
During the first week, the forensic pathologist Dr Kate White, who conducted the autopsy on Amber-Rose, testified that the victim had died from an 11 cm-long incised wound to the left side of her neck, which penetrated her carotid artery and windpipe, causing her to bleed to death.
The Crown also presented CCTV photos of a car matching Skantha's silver BMW traveling on the route to Amber-Rose's house on the night of her death and social media communication between the defendant and Amber-Rose prior to the alleged murder.
Amber-Rose's older sister Shantelle also testified that she had warned her younger sister against the idea of moving into Skantha's home, believing that he was planning to sexually groom her.
On 6 November, the Crown said that Skantha had burnt his bloodstained clothes in a large terracotta pot at his girlfriend Brigid Clinton's home in Balclutha.
Skantha's former girlfriend Brigid Clinton testified that Skantha had visited Amber-Rose's grieving mother, initially suggesting her daughter's death was a suicide before naming some potential suspects.
Clinton also testified that Skantha had been agitated and anxious following Amber-Rose's death, wounding himself with a samurai sword shortly before they were questioned by Police on 4 February 2018.
On 11 November, the Crown's star witness, the teenager who had accompanied Skantha during the time of the alleged murder, testified that Skantha's clothes had been bloodstained.
He also told the Court that the defendant had admitted killing Amber-Rose, and had also taken her cellphone and driver's license.
He testified that the pair had driven to Blackhead Quarry to dispose of Amber-Rose's phone before heading to Skantha's Fairfield home where the alleged clean-up began.
The teenager claimed that he had deliberately done a sloppy cleaning job in order to leave a trail of evidence for the police, including a blood stain on Skantha's grey suede shoes.
The witness also testified that they had then driven to Clinton's house in Balclutha where Skantha allegedly burned his bloodstained clothes.
During cross-examination, defence lawyer Eaton QC accused the teenage witness of killing Amber-Rose, citing his estranged relationship with the victim and his knowledge of her house layout.
During the second week of the trial, Crown witness ESR (Institute of Environmental Science and Research) scientist Timothy Power testified that blood found on the defendant's suede shoes and car window were 800,000 million times more likely to have originated from Amber-Rose than anyone else.
Defence lawyer Eaton QC accused the Crown's teenage witness of planting the evidence on the shoe in order to frame the doctor.
On 18 November, Detective Constable Amy Stewart, who had posed as a friend of the Rose family, testified that Skantha did not appear upset when meeting with the Amber-Rose's mother Lisa-Ann following her daughter's death to offer his condolences.
She also testified that Skantha had suggested other possible suspects including her step-father and an ex-boyfriend who had broken Amber-Rose's arm.
That same day, Skantha's former supervisor, Southern District Health Board chief medical officer Dr Nigel Millar, testified that Skantha had lied about his mother's death in order to escape being dismissed from his employment for drinking while working and negligence.
Crown prosecutor Bates argued that Skantha had murdered the defendant to prevent Amber-Rose from exposing his indiscretions to the authorities, which would have caused him his career and lifestyle.
Defence lawyer Eaton QC disputed the Crown's case, claiming that the Crown's teenage star witness was unreliable due to his habit of lying and that the Crown had failed to investigate whether the witness had murdered the defendant.
On 26 November, Skantha was unanimously found guilty by the jury of murder and four counts of threatening to kill the Crown's witness and their family.
The trial lasted three and a half weeks with the Crown calling 69 witnesses and presenting more than 1,000 pages of evidence.
In 10 November 2019, Radio New Zealand broadcaster Colin Peacock compared the media coverage of the Amber-Rose Rush murder trial to the Grace Millane murder trial, arguing that foreign media outlets' breaches of New Zealand name suppression orders in both cases threatened the fair trial rights for defendants.

Okamoto syndrome (OS), also known as Au–Kline syndrome (AKS), is a very rare autosomal dominant multi-system genetic condition characterised by congenital hydronephrosis, due to narrowing (stenosis) of the upper ureters, low muscle tone, congenital heart defects, intellectual disability and characteristic facial features.
A mutation in one of the two copies of this gene therefore results in some proteins not being correctly synthesised and some developmental processes being disrupted or not completed.
The prognosis is not yet fully known, due to the lack of patients in literature, however most of the patients have at least lived through childhood.
Individuals with Okamoto syndrome are usually born with hydronephrosis, or urine build-up in the kidneys, due to narrowing (stenosis) of the passage between the kidneys and the ureters (the ureteropelvic junction).
There is also often vesicoureteral reflux, in which urine passes backwards from the bladder to the ureters, and frequent urinary tract infections.
Individuals with Okamoto syndrome are typically born with heart defects which can include aortic valve stenosis, atrial or ventricular septal defect, bicuspid aortic valve or patent ductus arteriosus.
The syndrome has a characteristic facial appearance which is similar to that of Kabuki syndrome, including prominent, downward-displaced ears which are underdeveloped, long eyelids, epicanthic folds, a short, broad nose, an open, downturned mouth and a deep groove in the midline of the tongue.
There is sometimes webbing of the neck or bulging eyes, and less commonly there is excessive hair on the forehead or other parts of the body or a unibrow.
Individuals with the syndrome may also have a broad first toe and crowding of the toes, and at least two patients have had polydactyly of the fifth digits (postaxial polydactyly).
Craniosynostosis, particularly of the sagittal and metopic sutures, leading to scaphocephaly and a metopic ridge, has also been reported in some patients.
Patients may be born with low weight and size and may display stunted growth in childhood, although this symptom has been variable and not in every Okamoto syndrome patient.
A minority of patients have had hearing loss of both sensorineural and conductive types, and a smaller minority have had optic nerve abnormalities.
A mutation in one of the two copies of these genes results in some proteins not being correctly synthesised and therefore some developmental processes being disrupted or not completed.
A minority of patients have died in infancy due to complications from their urinary system defects, including infections in Okamoto's first two patients, however most have lived through childhood and into adolescence.
, 26 individuals worldwide were known to be affected, with 13 of these reported in literature, mostly from 2010 to 2019.

In November 2019, the gang rape and murder of a 26-year-old veterinary doctor in Shamshabad, near Hyderabad, sparked outrage across India.
The Telangana Police Department stated that the victim had parked her scooter near a toll plaza, which caught the attention of two lorry drivers and their assistants.
According to police, they  deflated her tire, pretended to help her, and pushed her into nearby bushes, where they raped and smothered her.
Protests and public demonstration against rape were organised nationwide after the incident, with the public demanding stricter laws against rape and rapists.
The Minister of Home Affairs criticised the Telangana Police and stated that the government intended to amend the Indian Penal Code and Code of Criminal Procedure to introduce laws for quicker punishment by fast-track courts.
All four accused were killed in a police encounter on 6 December 2019, under a bridge on Bangalore Hyderabad national highway, while they were in police custody.
According to the police, the suspects were taken to the location for a reconstruction of the crime scene, where two of them allegedly snatched guns and attacked the police.
The first post-mortem of the four accused who were killed in the encounter was conducted on the same day itself at a government hospital in Mahabubnagar from where the bodies were subsequently moved to the Gandhi Hospital.
The willingness to report rape has increased in recent years, after several incidents of rape received widespread media attention and triggered public protest.
Most notably, the 2012 Delhi gang rape led the Government of India to reform its penal code for crimes of rape and sexual assault.
According to the Telangana Police Department remand report, the victim had parked her scooter near Tondupally toll plaza, attracting the attention of the suspects, two lorry drivers and their assistants, who had been drinking whiskey before allegedly planning the crime.
According to the remand report, on 27 November 2019 at around 6:15 p.m., after parking the scooter, the victim took a taxi to a dermatologist's office in Hyderabad.
When she regained consciousness, they smothered her, wrapped the corpse in a blanket, transported it in their truck 27 km to a location near the Shadnagar interchange on the Hyderabad Outer Ring road, and at approximately 2:30 a.m. burnt it under a bridge using diesel and petrol purchased for the purpose.
The police arrested the four accused based on the evidence gathered from CCTV cameras, an eyewitness, and the victim's mobile phone.
The woman's charred corpse was found under Chatanpally Bridge in the Shadnagar located from the toll booth where she was abducted.
On 1 December 2019, Telangana Chief Minister ordered that a fast-track court be formed to try the accused of this crime.

The victim's father had approached the police at 11 p.m. on 27 November, after which the police allegedly wasted time over the applicability of the jurisdiction of the police station and inappropriate questioning of the family.
Constables were only sent for a search along with the family at 3 a.m. to Thondupally toll plaza and could not find the victim.
The day after the incident the local police suspended three policemen, including a sub-inspector, belonging to the Shamshabad airport police station for negligence and the delay in registering a missing person case.
The local police convinced the victim's family to allow the use of a fictional name, Disha, in place of the victim's true name in media reporting.
On 3 December, a man from Nizamabad district was arrested by the Cyberabad police, after a cyber crime case was filed against him, for posting pictures and spreading derogatory posts about the victim.
Members of the right-wing Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Raja Singh, BJP's IT Cell chief Amit Malviya and some party supporters made posts on social media that gave the incident a false communal spin by selectively focusing on the Muslim suspect.
The police stated that it was not clear if it was a case of self immolation or if she was set on fire.
After the arrest of the four suspects, a crowd of local residents gathered at the Shadnagar police station to protest against the crime and demanding that the police either hang or shoot the culprits.
Instead the executive magistrate arrived to the police station and passed the order to send the accused on judicial custody for 14 days.
While the police were transporting the accused from the Shadnagar police station to the prison in Hyderabad, several protestors threw stones over police vehicles.
Police used force and wielded batons to control the crowd, who were demanding the police hand over the accused to them.
On 2 December 2019, the incident was discussed in both houses of the Indian parliament, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.
In Rajya Sabha, an adjournment motions over the incident was rejected by Chairman Venkaiah Naidu, but he allowed the members to discuss such incidents in the country.

The Guangxi Massacre (), or Guangxi Cultural Revolution Massacre (), was a series of events involving lynching and direct massacre in Guangxi during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976).
In certain areas including Wuxuan County and Wuming District, massive cannibalism occurred even though no famine existed; according to public records available, at least 137 people—perhaps hundreds more—were eaten by others and at least thousands of people participated in the cannibalism.
Other researchers have pointed out that in a county alone, 421 people had been eaten, and there were reports of cannibalism across dozens of counties in Guangxi.
After the Cultural Revolution, people who involved in the massacre or cannibalism received only minor punishments; in Wuxuan County where at least 38 people were eaten, fourteen participants were prosecuted, receiving up to 14 years in prison, while ninety-one members of the Communist Party of China (CPC) were expelled from the party and thirty-nine non-party officials were either demoted or had a salary cut.
Although the cannibalism was sponsored by local offices of Communist Party and militia, no evidence suggests that anyone in the national Communist Party leadership including Mao Zedong endorsed the cannibalism or even knew of it.
In April 1981, an investigation group of over 20 people was formed under the arrangement of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the General Office of the Communist Party of China, the Organization Department of the Communist Party of China, the Ministry of Public Security, the Supreme People's Court, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
In June 1981, the investigation concluded that the death toll was over 100,000, while some officials and civilians claimed privately that the death toll was 150,000, 200,000 or even 500,000.
In March 1983, another investigation group of 40 people was formed by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
In January 1984, the investigation concluded that 89,700 deaths could be identified by names and addresses, over 20,000 people were missing, and over 30,000 deaths could not be identified by names or addresses.
In particular, due to the clashes between the two opposing factions, 3,700 people died during direct fighting, 7,000 were persecuted to death, while 79,000 were beaten or shot to death in a planned and systematic matter.
In Nanning, the capital of Guangxi, eight out of fourteen counties saw a death toll of over 1,000, with Binyang County alone losing 3,777 people.
According to Zheng Yi (), a scholar who conducted detailed researches on the topic in the late 1980s and later smuggled some copies of official documents to the United States, at least 137 people—perhaps hundreds more—were eaten by others and thousands of people participated in the cannibalism.
Documents also record a variety of ways of cannibalism, including eating people as an after-dinner snack, slicing off the meat in big parties, dividing up the flesh so each person takes a large chunk home to boil, barbecuing or roasting the liver, and so on.
According to Yan Lebin (), a member of the Ministry of Public Security who joined both of the investigation groups:In 1968, 38 people in Wuxuan County were eaten, and 113 officials of the county participated in eating human flesh, hearts and livers.
Chen Guorong (), a peasant from Guigang County who happened to pass by Wuxuan, was caught and killed by local militia because he was fat; his heart and liver were taken out while his flesh was distributed to 20 people.
A female militia leader ate 6 human livers in total, and cut the genitals of 5 men and soaked them in alcohol which she would drink later, claiming that these organs were beneficial to her health.
After the conference, a committee member, Li Hao (), removed the hearts and livers from the corpses, sauteing them and preparing them as dishes for other representatives who attended the conference.
According to Song Yongyi (), a Chinese historian who worked at the California State University, Los Angeles:Independent researchers in Guangxi counted a total of 421 people who were eaten in a single county.
There was one man who was said to be in the so-called fifth category, who was beaten to death where he stood.
The local officials and armed militia said that it was important to eradicate such people, and so they not only killed those two children: they ate them too.
He had a 17-year-old daughter, Liu Xiulan, who was gang-raped by nine people [for 19 times] who then ripped open her belly, and ate her liver and breasts.
According to Frank Dikötter, Chair Professor of Humanities at the University of Hong Kong, Senior Fellow at Hoover Institution of Stanford, and winner of the 2011 Samuel Johnson Prize:Throughout 1967 but also '68, there are factions in the countryside that start not just eliminating each other physically, but literally in a couple of small towns they start ritualistically eating each other.
You have to eat his heart, so there are very well-documented cases of ritual cannibalism.<br>There was a hierarchy in the consumption of class enemies.
Leaders feasted on the heart and liver, mixed with pork, while ordinary villagers were allowed only to peck at the victims’ arms and thighs.

The Bahamas are considered a tax haven given the lack of income tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax or company tax.
The country's lack of income and corporate profit taxes has seen it become a popular drawcard for high net-worth individuals moving to the Bahamas and becoming residents for tax purposes to avoid high taxes in their home countries, including a number of high profile people such as Eugenie Bouchard and Sean Connery.
Tax residency certificates are issued to individuals who spend at least 90 days in the Bahamas and under 184 days in any other single country and purchase a property worth in excess of $1.5 million.
Social security tax is payable to the National Insurance Board at 3.9% by employees and 5.9% by employers, or 8.8% for self-employed individuals, up to maximum amounts.
Property tax is imposed on all properties, with the rate for residential properties dependent on whether the home was occupied by its owner for at least six months of the calendar year, under reforms introduced in 2019.
If the residency requirement is met, the first $250,000 of property value is exempted, while the value up to $500,000 is taxed at a rate of 0.75% and at 1% on value in excess of $500,000.
If the residency requirement is failed, a 1% tax is imposed for the value up to $500,000 of assessed value and 2% for the value in excess of $500,000.

He was a key figure in the long process that by the start of the 21st-century had made St. George a key center of retirement and growing commubnity.
He received an associates degree from Dixie College (now Dixie State University) and completed his undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University.
He came to practice law and to head the local farmers cooperative at the urging of Dixie College president Joseph A. Nicholes.
In 1933 Hafen was serving as a member of the St. George Stake presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
He was involved with operating Dixie College from when The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stopped funding the institution in 1933 until the state of Utah took over operations in 1935.
The cooperative that Hafen came to run in St. George failed after he was there about a year, and never paid him his promised salary.
This group pooled the small amount of capital available in St. George to inport fertilizers and sell it to farmers to boost crop output.
In 1953 he worked closely with Ernest L. Wilkinson to draft the legislative bills to provide for the return of Dixie, Weber and Snow college to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Also as a member of the legislature Hafen managed to push through budget bills to build new buildings at Dixie College.
Hafen supported the compromise that gave the rural Utah counties (including Washington County) which had 25% of the population control of 11 of the 14 state senate seats while the majority of the state house seats were controlled by the urban counties with 75% of the population.
He did push through a bill that changed the balance so the state senate districts were split 14 to the rural counties and 13 to the four Urban counties of Utah, Salt Lake, Davis and Weber.
This balance was later ended after the U.S. supreme court ruled to mandate all legislative districts represent the principle of one man one vote and regular redistricting to preserve such a blance.

Edward A. Keenan (October 15, 1894 – April 12, 1970) was an American politician who served as the 34th Mayor of Burlington, Vermont.
After retiring in 1959 from his position as an office manager with Green Mountain Power, Keenan was elected as an alderman from ward five in Burlington, narrowly defeating Democratic incumbent Paul L. Heininger with 382 votes to Heininger's 353.
In 1963 incumbent Mayor Robert K. Bing announced that he would not seek a second term and party officials asked Keenan to run for mayor, but refused to make a decision until January 30, 1963 when he announced that he would run and received Bing's endorsement.
On February 8, 1963 he was given the Republican nomination and on March 5 defeated Robert W. Larrow with 4,475 votes against Larrow's 4,267 votes.
On January 15, 1965 he announced that he would seek reelection and the Republican Committee in Burlington announced that it had voted unanimously to support him.
After losing reelection he was invited to a briefing with President Lyndon B. Johnson along with the mayors of every city with over 100,000 people to discuss how the cities were coping with the Johnson administration's programs.

Keenan was unable to campaign for state senate due to being hospitalized and the initial results of the election showed him losing by one vote.
Later recounts found an error in the vote totals that under-reported Hector Marcoux's total by 100 votes and after it was included gave him a lead of 101 votes against Keenan.
Shortly before his death Keenan lived in Sarasota, Florida and on April 12, 1970 he died in Pompano Beach, Florida from a heart attack after being taken to the hospital earlier that day.
The city hall flag in Burlington was flown at half-staff until after his funeral services by the orders of Francis J. Cain.
Shorr was a member of the Foundation’s Artists Advisory Committee that initiated and developed the Sharpe Walentas Studio Program as a service to living artists.
Harriet Shorr is mainly considered as a realist artist, however during life her work has transitioned from observation of everyday objects and domestic items painted when she was at Swarthmore, to the objects placed on scarves that she painted after she came to New York, and to objects that are carefully chosen for literary, mythological, or metaphorical possibilities.
While selecting objects for the painting Shorr consciously tried not to look for them with a specific agenda in mind, nor questioned what makes them click together.
When all the objects were gathered, she arranged the items on a table in her studio trying to vary the spaces between them.
Shorr didn’t believe in a necessary connection between drawing and painting and did no preliminary drawing for her still life works.
She used bristle brushes for the larger areas of color and longhaired brushes for the more precise modeling, created the different shapes, their shadows and the spaces between shapes, maintaining the fluidity of the painting and the practice of painting wet-into-wet that she developed after studying with Alex Katz at the Yale School of Art and Architecture.
Shorr was one of four realist still life painters who experimented painting same four objects not revealing the results to one another until all four paintings were done.
They repeated the same experiment in ten years and presented the results on the group exhibition Four Artists, Four Objects, Ten Years (1997).
Here, she attempted radically new works that wrestle with allegory in the guise of porcelain figurines, textiles, flowers, branches and reflective surfaces.
Harriet Shorr’s work has been offered at auction multiple times, with the record price $2,375 USD for Oysters and Pearls, sold at Freeman’s in 2009.
Her paintings are a part of collections at numerous organizations, among them Citicorp,Hyatt, Hess Corporation, Estee Lauder Companies, ARCO, and others.

Designed by Henry J. Schlacks and constructed in 1902, it originally served as a factory and warehouse for the Tyler & Hippach Mirror Co.
In 1908, the building was moved 52 feet south and 168 feet east to its current location, in order to make way for the construction of the new Chicago and North Western Terminal, at a cost of $50,000.
The William Grace Company was contracted to perform the move, and hired Chicago engineer Harvey Sheeler, who had successfully moved several large buildings previously.
William J. Cassidy Tire & Auto Supply Co. purchased the building for $250,000 in 1970, and it became the headquarters of Cassidy Tire.
In 2019, The Habitat Company signed a contract to purchase the property, and intends to demolish the building and build a 33 story apartment building on the site.
However, Preservation Chicago is working to have the building designated a Chicago Landmark and preserved as part of the residential development planned for the site.
It was constructed in 1907 after a local resident won a High Court ruling against the South Staffordshire Waterworks Company for poor water-supply pressure.
The brick tower held a cast-iron water tank at a height of to provide sufficient hydraulic head to improve water pressure.
The tower ceased to have any role in water supply in the 1990s but has since been used as a radio tower.
Winshill Water Tower is one of Burton upon Trent's most prominent buildings, visible on the skyline from far afield, and has been used as a landmark by road and rail travellers for decades.
It is constructed atop Scalpcliffe Hill, from which there are views across most of the town, and lies close to Winshill's boundary with Brizlincote parish.
The tower stands adjacent to a small section of woodland known as Waterloo Clump which was planted by local people to commemorate the Duke of Wellington's victory in 1815.
On the Brizlincote side of the hill an area of woodland, planted by the National Forest Company, has been named Tower Woods after the landmark.
The exterior is brickwork, largely brown brindle Staffordshire bricks laid in English bond, with details picked out in different coloured bricks.
Inside the tower, at a height of and supported on rolled steel joists atop a brick pier, stood a cast-iron water tank.
The tank measured by and in service was kept full to a level of by a float-operated valve, providing a head of water exactly above sea level.
One resident, Harry Mills Barrow, took the South Staffordshire Waterworks Company to the High Court, at his own expense, over the matter in 1905.
For his efforts, Barrow was rewarded with a sum of money and an illuminated house sign, that remained in use at an address in Ashby Road until the 1960s.
Construction of the water tower was carried out in 1907 and the Burton Town Council made a contribution of £1,000 towards the costs.
The feed was later switched to the company's water main in Saxon Street (Stapenhill), which was the main supply to Burton from the pumping station at Chilcote.
During the First World War local scouts mounted a guard on the tower, primarily as fire wardens, owing to the fear of German invasion or Zeppelin attack.
The town would become one of the first in Britain to be attacked by German strategic bombing when a Zeppelin raid of 31 January 1916 killed 15 people and wounded 72.
During the 1960s the South Staffordshire Waterworks Company installed aerials onto the tower as part of a short-wave radio system used by its engineers to contact the company headquarters.
Other antennas and mobile-phone masts have since been added, particularly since the tower lost its role in water supply in the 1990s.
In Melbourne James How was employed by Joseph Raleigh, a merchant and wharf owner and by 1857 was listed as one of the principal directors of How, Walker & Co., a merchant and shipping business started by a relative, Robert How.
How, whose surviving output is found in one album made over only two years, was evidently an accomplished and enthusiastic artist whose photographic knowledge was derived, historians surmise, from any of several possible sources; perhaps from practitioners in England before migrating, from her reading, or from local contacts, or any combination of those.
Louisa How may before her migration have been taught the medium at professional studios in England, but more likely she learned from William Hetzer to make salted paper prints from half-plate glass negatives for which the Sydney merchant was known, and for which he was the supplier of materials and the printer of his clients' negatives, including those of E.W.
There are plausible claims that it was Hetzer's wife Thekla who, from 1850 assisted him at his studio at 15 Hunter Street, who was the first woman photographer in Australia, but no works known to be hers have survived.
In the same month of 1858 that the earliest exclusively photographic exhibition was held in Australia was mounted at the Sydney Philosophical Society, How made portraits of her guests on Christmas Day and Boxing Day at Woodlands.
She set up a makeshift studio on her verandah, using furniture, drapes and props including a stereoscope and stereo cards, so as to shorten exposure conditions with brighter lighting, but make it appear that the pictures were made indoors.
The resultant prints are amongst forty-eight salted paper prints from the period October 1857 to January 1859 in her only surviving album, carefully titled and signed, which is now held in the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.
Her varied subjects include visitors to Woodlands, appearing relaxing in conversation, drinking and dining, several in groups and some of those more formal, and the rest being individual portraits; the merchants George S. Caird, Robert P. Paterson and Hendricks Anderson, the explorer William Landsborough with his Aboriginal companion 'Tiger’, the settlers Charles Morison from Glenmorison, New England and John Glen.
As well as portraits, How made views of Sydney Cove, Government House, Campbell’s Wharf and around her own house and garden and its Harbourside boatshed.
The Hows remained in Woodlands until about 1866, then moved to 'Calingra' in Woollahra when, due to losses, the How merchant company had ceased business.
Her husband James died in about 1869, and a year later she relocated to Heaton, also in Woollahra, then moved several times before her death in 1893 at the age seventy-two.
Of these, 79.9% spoke Belarusian, 12.1% Yiddish, 2.6% Russian, 2.0% Latvian, 1.8% Polish, 0.8% Lithuanian, 0.3% German and 0.3% Estonian as their native language.
However, after his then girlfriend broke up with him, he quit his studies and moved south to Hainan Island in 1989.
In the late 1980s, Hainan was designated a special economic zone by the Chinese government and attracted migrants from all over the country.
Like many other migrants, however, Cheng was unable to find a job there and had to sleep on the street after spending all his money.
Li Yi is an artist who is out of a job and becomes homeless in Hainan, which closely matched Cheng's own experience.
It was opened on 23 April 1988 as part of the extension of Line 1 from Chacaíto to Los Dos Caminos.
In 1921 the final Dutch name became: 'Wilton's Dok- en Werf Maatschappij NV', the equivalent of 'Wilton Engineering and Slipway Company'.
While there, his old father was living in humble circumstances near the country house of the merchant and regent Abram van Rijckevorsel (1790-1864).
Van Rijckevorsel and his friend the shipping magnate Willem Ruys (1837-1901) got an idea to help the old Wilton, who could no longer support himself.
They gave Bartel Wilton a loan, so he would return to Rotterdam, and could take over a stove smithy to support himself and his father.
On 7 January 1854 Bartel Wilton started his business as a house and stove smith at the south side of the Baan in Rotterdam.
In 1876 Wilton got a thirty year lease on a piece of land behind the parade ground of the militia on the Westzeedijk.
All in all a recipe for stating that the factory at the Westzeedijk was in Schoonderloo, or even Delfshaven, while it is now in Rotterdam.
On 26 January 1878 M. van der Kuyl in Slikkerveer laid down an iron passenger screw steam boat for Wijnands & Co in Groningen.
In 1893 the terrain next to the slipway was heightened by 25,000 cubic meters of soil dug out for the harbor of Katendrecht.
On 24 September 1889 Bartel Wilton and Bartel Wilton Jr. (1863-1938, also known as 'Bart') came to an agreement for joint ownership of and authority over the company.
In the 1890s it became clear that Wilton's lease on the terrain at the Westzeedijk would not be continued by the city council.
This terrain was the Ruigeplaat, a shoal in front of Delshaven, that had been dug through to directly connect Delfshaven to the Meuse again.
Bartel Jr. opted for an expansion strategy to profit from the huge growth of the Rotterdam port following the completion of the Nieuwe Waterweg and the economic expansion of Germany.
In his vision one should stay ahead of the competition by having the best technical equipment on the most economical place (the Westkousdijk).
On 3 September 1898, a few weeks before he died, the Bartel Wilton Sr. laid the first stone for a big new factory to build boilers.
On the slipway it grew slowly, but in drydock it exploded to more than ten times the amount on the slipway.
In 1911 an agreement with the Nederlandsche Fabriek van Werktuigen en spoorwegmaterieel, later named Werkspoor, resulted in a license to produce Diesel engines for ships.
It was launched in 1915 by the NSM from a special slipway in Schellingwoude just outside the Oranjesluizen, because it was too broad for the North Sea Canal.
The latter was supported by the Holland America Line, which foresaw that it would employ very big ships in the near future, and was looking for a docking facility.
In 1917 construction of a harbor on the terrain started, but the company did not move to the new grounds till after the war.
The company would build a double fixed drydock for building very big ships, the first of its kind in the Netherlands.
If this new method of construction would prove effective another fixed drydock would be built for constructing ships of 300 m. A huge floating drydock of 40,000 tons would complete the picture.
The ambition to have a huge floating drydock was realized by buying the floating dock that Blohm + Voss had started to construct for the Austro-Hungarian Navy.
In April 1921 the dock was taken into use when it received the SS Rotterdam (1908) of 36,870t displacement, the biggest Dutch ship.
At 165 m by 130 m it was supposed to be the largest of its kind in Europe with regard to total surface as well as surface spanned by its concrete arcs.
From 1920-1928 the number ships in the drydocks grew from 331 to 486 while the tonnage grew from 1,346,896 to 2,506,609 R.T.B.
The board of the company had the ambition to bring the ship and engine construction activities of the company to the same height as that of the ship repair activities, but this was not so simple.
In ship repair the excellent location, facilities, reputation and skill of her employees put the company ahead of foreign competition and led to good margins.
In October 1925 a newspaper wrote that in a practical sense the yard at Schiedam was not yet in use, and called it a monument for the foolish investments by war profiteers.
Indeed in 1924 Wilton had received a first significant order from the navy department for HNLMS Soemba, and in 1925 four ships had been laid down for the KPM, but this was way below the capacity of the location.
The act of finishing the Statendam kind of completed the transformation of the company, that began to look very much like her competitor Fijenoord.
Nevertheless, Wilton still had an advantage in ship repair, and Fijenoord was still ahead in ship construction, especially for the navy.
In early January 1887 the tugboat Paul broke through the ice blocking the inland waterways Amstel, Hollandse IJssel from Rotterdam to Amsterdam.
In February 1891 the line waited till a group of companies came up with enough money to pay for her ice-breaking services.
The founders were Bartel Wilton Sr, his sons Bartel Wilton jr and John Henry Wilton, and Wilton Engineering and Slipway Company, known as 'Firma B. Wilton' at the time.
The company took 42 shares, and paid for them by bringing in six tugboats; the Paul, Henry, Hugo, Max, James III and Willem.

The Association of Partisans of the Free Territory of Trieste (, abbreviated APTLT, ) was an organization in the Free Territory of Trieste for veterans of the World War II anti-fascist partisan movement.
The Soviet-Yugoslav split provoked a division in the organization, leading to the existence of two parallel APTLT associations; one pro-Soviet (known as the 'Vidalian' APTLT) association and one 'Titoist' association.
The 'Titoist' APTLT held a conference in January 1950, which elected a Central Committee consisting of , , , Ljubo Černe, Doro Furlanic, Giuseppe Grzancic, Antonio Gurian, Paola Jelcic, Mirko Kosmina, Giuseppe Sancin, Edoardo Krzinič, Emilio Legisa, Bruno Marassut, Erminio Medica, Alberto Pernarčič, Sergij Pečar, Jože Sancin, Jože Sabadin, Mario Santin-Valter, Gior­dano Sorta, Drago Stoka, Boris Tence, Vittorio Tinelli, Plinio Tomasin and Celestino Valenta.
Walter Clive Clark (22 October 1927 – 21 November 2019) was a New Zealand zoologist who specialised in the study of nematodes and pycnogonids.
Born in Christchurch on 22 October 1927, Clark was the son of Clive Harold Clark and Ellen Martha Clark (née Baldwin).
He had his early education at Bruce Bay, where his academic potential was first recognised, before moving back to Christchurch about the end of 1942.
He was an assistant lecturer in biology at Christchurch Teachers' College from 1954 to 1955 and an assistant lecturer in zoology at Canterbury from 1956 to 1957.
He was then a principal scientific officer in nematology in the entomology division of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) in Nelson from 1957 to 1964.
The DSIR supported Clark to undertook doctoral studies, and he completed a PhD at Imperial College London, supervised by Bernard Peters and Charles Potter, in 1961.
Clark was appointed professor of zoology at Massey University in 1964, but in 1967 he returned to Department of Zoology at the University of Canterbury as a reader (equivalent to associate professor).
Among the research students supervised by Clark was Gregor Yeates, who completed his PhD on the ecology of nematodes in sand dunes in 1968.

Double marginalization is an economic phenomenon that occurs when two firms with market power (i.e., not in a situation of perfect competition), at different vertical levels in the same supply chain, apply a mark-up to their prices.
This double markup induces a deadweight loss, because the end product is priced higher than the optimal monopoly price a vertically integrated company would set, thus leading to underproduction.
The double markup means that the overall profit of companies is lower, consumers have to pay a higher price, and a smaller amount is consumed.
In a monopolistic situation with a single integrated firm, the profit-maximizing firm would set its price at p = 6, resulting in a quantity of Q = 4 and a total profit of 16.
Not only the total profit is lower than in the integrated scenario, but the price is higher, thus reducing the consumer surplus.
It should also be noted that some of the solutions presented above, such as mergers or cartels, are damaging in horizontal competition but positive in vertical competition as described here, as they have the advantage of preventing the double markup.
It was the last edition where the 200 metres was contested as the last event of the pentathlon before being replaced by the 800 metres in 1979.

After working as a researcher at the University of Tokyo and at Saitama University, he joined the University of Tsukuba in 2001.
His work on the computation of Pi has inspired his former student Emma Haruka Iwao, who broke a new record on March 14, 2019.
In 2011, he was part of a team from the University of Tsukuba that won the Gordon Bell Prize of the Association for Computing Machinery for their work simulating the quantum states of a nanowire using the K computer.
He is also known for his research on the Fast Fourier transform, and is one of the developers of the HPC Challenge Benchmark.
He was descended from a branch of an important family of rabbis of Italian origin who immigrated from Casale Monferrato in the seventeenth century.
From the Italian branch important rabbis were born such as Rav.Eliseo Graziadio Pontremoli (Great Rabbi of Nice), Rav.Gabriel Pontremoli (Chief Rabbi of Turin), Rav.Chakam Esdra Pontremoli (Rabbi of Vercelli).
Ryton is a hamlet and former civil parish from York, now in the parish of Habton, in the Ryedale district, in the county of North Yorkshire, England.
Ryton was formerly a township in the parish of Kirby Misperton, from 1866 Ryton was a civil parish in its own right.
Mathilde was a musician and suffragette, and was imprisoned twice, also for smashing windows, and was a founder of London's women's chess club and active vegetarian.
Born Elsie and sister Mathilde Wolff Van Sandau (also known as 'Matilda') were the granddaughters of Dr. E. Schwabe, private chaplain to the Duchess of Kent.
Mathilde was a pianist, a music teacher and became a founder member of the London Ladies Chess Club, and became a leader in vegetarian groups.
They were among the three hundred women brutally attacked by police and men in the crowd for about six hours, on what is known as 'Black Friday' on 18 November 1910, when the women's deputation approached the House of Commons but were prevented from entering.
Elsie's activism included joining the two hundred women, organised on 1st and 4 March 1912, to carry out what was a second wave of window smashing protests in Covent Garden, London.
This took place at the same time as the Parliament was debating a Conciliation Bill (for some women to get the right to vote, which was not passed).
Meanwhile, Mathilde, with Katie Mills, was arrested for smashing the windows of the Howick Place Post Office: postal services were seen by suffragettes as a 'symbol of oppressive male government'.
Suffragettes on hunger strike were frequently force-fed and objected to this 'treatment' as well as being treated as criminals not as 'political' prisoners.
A roll-call of those being released, excluding Patricia Woodlock, who got a longer sentence was created (probably for the WSPU welcome event).
The presentation box was inscribedELSIE WOLFF VAN SANDAU - BY THE WOMEN'S SOCIAL & POLITICAL UNION IN RECOGNITION OF A GALLANT ACTION, WHEREBY THROUGH ENDURANCE TO THE LAST EXTREMITY OF HUNGER AND HARDSHIP, A GREAT PRINCIPLE OF POLITICAL JUSTICE WAS VINDICATED.National Archive record lists suffragette prisoners, including Elsie and Mathilde Wolff Van Sandau, who were officially pardoned when the WSPU discontinued militancy at the start of World War One.
In 1895, Mathilde had set up one of the first women's chess clubs, being elected as the first vice-president of the London Ladies Chess Club, which initially had to compete against men's clubs.
Mathilde also advertised her music teaching and performances and availability for a more formal school engagement in the chess club magazine.
In 1897, Mathilde, a confirmed vegetarian was among those who performed to an audience of 700, at the 4th International Vegetarian Congress in London.
Later in her life, Mathilde Wolff van Sandau was chosen to be the honorary secretary of Brighton and Hove Vegetarian Society.
How the Wollf Van Sandau sisters lived during or after the First World War, and when and where they died is not known.
Elsie's Hunger Strike medal came to light in a drawer in a home in East Sheen, London a hundred years later, and it was auctioned in Derbyshire in June 2019.
Hiyya Pontremoli was born in Smyrna from the famous rabbi Benjamin Pontremoli; he was an important rabbi of the Turkish Jewish community in the 19th century.
He was descended from the branch of an important family of rabbis of Italian origin who had immigrated to Casale Monferrato in the seventeenth century.
The first production included Francesco Borosini in the title role, Antonio Bernacchi (Tamerlano), Marina Benta Bulgarelli (Asteria), Faustina Bordoni (Irene), Diana Vico (Andronico), Antonio Piasi (Clearco), Battista Roberti (Leone) and Girolamo Bartoluzzi Regiano (Zaida).
Three versions of the work are known, but it is only the 1719 one for which all the music is known to have survived.
The original libretto by Agostino Piovene was extensively rewritten by Ippolito Zanelli - the role of Bajazet was expanded and made central to the new work, with his suicide now shown on stage rather than merely described.
The libretto Handel eventually used was written for him by Nicola Francesco Haym and amalgamated elements from Gasparini’s libretto from both 1711 and 1719.
Gasparini’s 1719 score may have been performed once of twice after the Reggio Emilia production, but the work was then neglected until 2014, when it was revived by Auser Musici and performed at the Opera Barga Festival.
At the time of the murders, however, it was determined that he was fully aware of his actions and did them by his own volition, the motive always being robbery.
The motive appeared to be robbery, as a small sum of 200 liri were found to be stolen from her home.
Mangion confessed to stalking the woman to her home on the day of the murder and knocking on her front door.
He stabbed her and went to get the money, but, realizing that she had died from her injuries, proceeded to flee the scene.
On October 30, 1986, 68-year-old Magrin, who lived only a few doors down from former President Ugo Mifsud Bonnici in Cospicua, heard a knock on her door and opened without asking who it was.
Three men, Mangion and uncle-nephew duo Leli and Oswaldo Spiteri, entered into the house and demanded that she gave them all her money.
Maria guided them through the house with a torchlight, as there was no electricity, and handed them a sum of around 15,000 Euro.
Magrin was then stabbed 13 times by Mangion, to prevent identification, as none of the criminals had worn masks, before all of them left.
After he swallowed some pills and drank some pills to pluck up courage, he rang the Cassars' doorbell, surprising Giuseppa with a knife when she opened the door.
He stabbed her in the stomach and right arm, but she managed to fight back, calling upon her brother for help.
When he saw the Cassar lying bleeding on the ground and his T-shirt covered in blood, he got frightened and fled, disposing of his knife and T-shirt in a reservoir at President Anton Buttigieg Street.
During a November 26, 2002 hearing, jurors determined that he was sawn at the time of the murder, and on January 5, 2004, at the beginning of his jury trial, he pleaded guilty.
The other murders remained a mystery until a year after Mangion's conviction, when he implicated himself as the one responsible to several inmates at Corradino prison, one of them being Steven Spiteri.
He also implicated the Spiteris, but, by then, Leli had already died in 2000 and Oswaldo had committed suicide, hanging himself while in custody.
At some point during the trial proceedings, one inspector inquired about two peculiar tattoos Mangion had on each ear: one had the letter 'S', while the other had a 'K'.
On June 23, 2010, Silvio Mangion was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Rozina Zammit, and was given another life sentence for the murder of Maria Magrin at a later date.

The Osorkon Bust, also known as the Eliba'l Inscription is a bust of Egyptian pharaoh Osorkon I, discovered in Byblos (in today's Lebanon) in the nineteenth century.
Like the Tabnit sarcophagus from Sidon, it is decorated with two separate and unrelated inscriptions – one in Egyptian hieroglyphics and one in Phoenician script.
It was created in the early 10th century BC, and was unearthed in 1881, very likely in the Temple of Baalat Gebal.
First the bust, on the chest of which stood at the front, on the belt there was the rest of the cartouches, and on the rock pillar.
Mohammad-Javad Jahromi was sanctioned by the United States Department of the Treasury because of his role in Internet censorship in Iran.
The ministry had to order a range of ISPs and mobile data providers to stop providing users with international network and connect to NIN.
Although Global network was not accessible, Local services including banks, state-run messaging apps, and ride-hailing apps continued to operate through National Information Network.

Tan Tjin Kie, Majoor-titulair der Chinezen (January 25, 1853–February 13, 1919) was a high-ranking bureaucrat, courtier, sugar baron and head of the prominent Tan family of Cirebon, part of the ‘Cabang Atas’ or Chinese gentry of the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia).
He is best remembered today for his lavish, 40-day-long funeral ceremony of 1919, reputedly the most expensive ever held in Java.
The institution of Chinese officers was a civil arm of the colonial bureaucracy, through which the Dutch authorities governed their Chinese subjects in the Indies.
Through his father, Tan was a grandson and grandnephew of Cirebon’s earlier Chinese headmen: Tan Kim Lin, who was Kapitein from the early 1830s until his death in 1835; and Tan Phan Long, who was Kapitein from 1836 until his retirement in 1846.
In line with Chinese naming conventions, he acquired at least three other known names over the course of his life in addition to his birth name, Tjin Kie, which was taboo to younger family members.
On his father’s death in 1884, Luitenant Tan Tjin Kie was passed over in the succession in favor of an older Chinese officer, befitting the established custom of the time.
That year, however, saw the elevation to the post of Luitenant der Chinezen of Tan’s two in-laws, the cousins Kwee Keng Eng and Kwee Keng Liem, husbands respectively of the Luitenant’s sister Tan Oen Tok Nio and cousin Tjoe Soei Lan Nio.
In 1886, another in-law, Aw Seng Hoe, husband of the Luitenant’s cousin Tan An Nio, was appointed as Luitenant der Chinezen of Majalengka.
When the Captaincy again became vacant in 1888, Luitenant Tan Tjin Kie, aged 35, finally succeeded to the headman post of Kapitein of Cirebon, an office once occupied by his father, granduncle, grandfather and great-grandfather.
In 1909, the Dutch authorities awarded the Kapitein with the Gouden Ster voor Trouw en Verdienste, the highest rank in the colonial equivalent of the Order of the Netherlands Lion.
A hallmark of Kapitein Tan Tjin Kie’s tenure was his management, in Cirebon, of the Java-wide communal infighting of 1912 between local Chinese and Arabs.
Tan negotiated a peace deal with leaders of the Arab community, and – in a widely applauded and brave move – led a procession of 50 Chinese community leaders to Cirebon’s Arab district to confirm the agreement.
In so doing, the Kapitein was widely credited with the maintenance of peace and order in Cirebon, which contrasted with the many lost lives in the rest of Java.
This rare mark of esteem was only once awarded in the whole history of the Chinese officership of Cirebon; unlike the colonial capitals of Batavia, Semarang and Surabaya, Cirebon's Chinese community was normally headed by a Kapitein instead of the higher-ranked Majoor.
The Tan family of Cirebon lived as part of the royal courts of Cirebon for generations, and were keen patrons of Javanese art and culture.
The latter visited Majoor-titulair Tan Tjin Kie a number of times, including in 1916, when the Susuhunan stayed at the Majoor’s palatial residence in Loewoenggadjah.
As the highest-ranking Chinese bureaucrat in Cirebon and head of the city’s oldest bureaucratic Chinese family, Majoor-titulair Tan Tjin Kie supported many social causes.
Within the local Chinese community, he continued the long association between the Chinese officership and , Cirebon’s most important Chinese temple.
In 1889, he inaugurated a plaque to celebrate the temple’s renovation under his patronage, noting that an earlier renovation was completed in 1830 under the auspices of his great-grandfather, Kapitein Tan Kong Djan.
Similarly, he was also the founder and Bechermheer of the Confucian revival and educational organization Tiong Hoa Hwee Koan in Cirebon.
By his wife, Ong Hwie Nio, Tan had two sons, Tan Gin Ho and Tan Gin Han, and a daughter, Tan Ho Lie Nio.
His eldest son, Tan Gin Ho, and his son-in-law, Kwee Tjiong In, served as Luitenants der Chinezen, the former from 1898 until 1913, and the latter from 1907 until 1910, then again from 1913 until 1920.
His younger son, Tan Gin Han, married Phoa Kiat Liang, a grandniece of the community leader Phoa Keng Hek, and a great-granddaughter of Phoa Tjeng Tjoan, Kapitein der Chinezen of Buitenzorg.
The late Majoor’s magnificent, 40-day-long funeral ceremony was reputed to have been the most expensive ever to have been held in Java.
Accompanied by a platoon of police officers sent by Johan Paul, Count van Limburg-Stirum, the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies, there was a four-horse carriage with a portrait of the deceased.
After a procession of members of various organizations and schoolchildren under the late Majoor’s patronage, his coffin arrived in a four-horse carriage, pulled in addition by 250 coolies in uniform.

The volcanic history of the Canary Islands started about 80 million years ago and the Canary Islands region is still volcanically active.
The Canary Islands are a long, east-west trending, archipelago of volcanic islands in the North Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Northwest Africa.
The seven main Canary Islands originated as separate submarine seamount volcanoes on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, which is deep in the Canarian region.
Part of the ridge has been submerged and now Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are separate islands, separated by an wide, deep strait.
The Canary Islands differ from other volcanic oceanic islands, such as the Hawaiian Islands, in several ways – for example, the Canary Islands have stratovolcanoes, compression structures and a lack of subsidence.
In the case of Tenerife, the volcanic edifice of Teide rises about above the ocean floor (about underwater and above sea level).
The age of the oldest subaerially-erupted lavas on each island decreases from east to west along the island chain: Lanzarote-Fuerteventura (20.2 Ma), Gran Canaria (14.6 Ma), Tenerife (11.9 Ma), La Gomera (9.4 Ma), La Palma (1.7 Ma) and El Hierro (1.1 Ma).
Apart from some islands of Cape Verde (another island group in the Atlantic Ocean, about south-west of the Canary Islands), Fuerteventura is the only oceanic island known to have outcrops of carbonatite.
Examples of the following types of volcanic landforms occur in the Canary Islands: shield volcano, stratovolcano, collapse caldera, erosion caldera, cinder cone, coulee, scoria cone, tuff cone, tuff ring, maar, lava flow, lava flow field, dyke, volcanic plug.
Two hypotheses have received the most attention from geologists: (1) the volcanism is related to crustal fractures extending from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, and (2) the volcanism is caused by the African Plate moving slowly over a hotspot in the Earth's mantle.

The library provides the usual services expected of libraries such as lending material, providing reference and research assistance, storytimes, and conversation clubs.
The library was named after Franklin to commemorate his statesmanship, humanitarianism, and friendship with the intention of fostering collaboration and understanding between the two countries.
The Biblioteca Benjamín Franklin was built with an $80,000 grant from the American Library Association and was dedicated on April 13, 1942 and was located at Av.
When the public library was established, it had 3,500 volumes, almost all in English, a problem acknowledged when the library was rededicated on July 25, 1968 and had grown to 90,000 with a quarter of them being in Spanish.
2003 was the latest relocation of the library, where it still provides traditional library services, along with guided tours, tech services for building English language skills, movie nights, 3-D printing services, and karaoke.

Note that the integrand is a product that runs over the edges in the subgraph formula_1, whereas the differential is a product running over the vertices in formula_1.
This definition of homomorphism density is indeed a generalization, because for every graph formula_3 and its associated step graphon formula_12, formula_13.
This notion is helpful in understanding assymptotical behavior of homomorphism densities of graphs which satisfy certain property, since a graphon is a limit of a sequence of graphs.
In some situations, deciding whether such an inequality is true or not can be simplified, such as it is the case in the following theorem.
However, we get a much harder problem, in fact an undecidable one, when we have a homomorphism inequalities on a more general set of graphs formula_22:Theorem (Hatami, Norine).
A recent observation proves that any linear homomorphism density inequality is a consequence of the positive semi-definiteness of a certain infinite matrix, or to the positivity of a quantum graph; in other words, any such inequality would follow from applications of the Cauchy Schwarz Inequality.
Another recent development consists in the completion of the understanding of a homomorphism inequality problem, the description of formula_27, which is the region of feasible edge density, triangle density pairs in a graphon:formula_29Observation 1.
for some positive integer formula_56, then the minimum feasible triangle density is attained by a unique step function graphon formula_57 with node weights formula_58 with sum equal to 1 and such that formula_59.
Pietro Paolo Troisi (29 June 1686 – March or April 1743) was a Maltese Baroque silversmith, sculptor, medallist, designer, engraver and Master of the Mint.
His works include bronze sculptures of his patron António Manoel de Vilhena, designs of various coins and medals, a wide range of mainly religious works in silver, engraved portraits, designs for temporary triumphal arches and designs for works in a number of churches, most notably the altar of repose at the Mdina cathedral.
Pietro Paolo Troisi was the son of Carlo Antonio Troisi and Ninfa née Bison, and he was the second of eight or nine children.
He was born in Valletta on 29 June 1686, and he was baptised at the Porto Salvo parish church on 2 July.
Between 1704 and 1705, Troisi studied at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome, on the recommendation of Grand Master Ramon Perellos y Roccaful.
He also taught drawing of nude figures, and he co-founded a school of design and painting at the Mint in Valletta together with Marc'Antonio Zondadari (who would later become Grand Master of the Order of St John).
Throughout his career, Troisi collaborated with a number of Maltese sculptors and stone carvers such as Pietro Paolo Zahra and the Fabri brothers.
In April 1714, he petitioned Perellos to take his father's place, but remained an assistant until he finally became Master of the Mint in 1736.
Troisi was a member of the Confraternity of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in the Carmelite church in Valletta from at least 1713 to his death, and at times he was appointed as the Confraternity's secretary, treasurer or rector.
Troisi drew up his will on 27 March 1743, and he died soon afterwards, either in late March or early April, at the age of 57.
This was a celebration held at Mdina on the occasion of the election of a new Grand Master, in which officials of the city's Università would present the keys of the city to the new Grand Master.
For the occasion, a temporary triumphal arch made out of wood would be built near the Banca Giuratale, and it would be dismantled shortly afterwards.
When Zondadari was elected Grand Master, Troisi was one of four artists who were invited to submit designs of the triumphal arch.
Zondadari was succeeded by Vilhena in 1722, and Troisi was once again commissioned to design a triumphal arch which was to be made by remodelling the 1720 arch.
Troisi made the designs and supervised its construction, while the woodwork was done by Andrea Camilleri and the painting was renewed by Aloisio Buhagiar.
The arches depicted the emblems of the Università and the Grand Master along with a variety of military paraphernalia, while Vilhena's arch also contained his portrait and symbols of the Kingdom of Sicily.
In 1727, Troisi was commissioned by Canon Gourgion on behalf of the Metropolitan Chapter to design an altar of repose for St Paul's Cathedral in Mdina.
This is a moveable chapel intended for the exposition of the Eucharist on Maundy Thursday, and it is erected annually during Holy Week.
Troisi was paid 5 scudi for his design, but other artists were also invited to submit their designs and the altar was not built during Troisi's lifetime.
The chapel consists of a triumphal arch-like portico with stairs leading to a circular space which contains a partial dome and richly decorated walls.
A silver capsure made by Giovanni Andrea Troisi (Pietro Paolo's brother) and Annetto Pullicino serves as the centrepiece of the altar.
He also made engravings on silverware, such as a dish depicting Victory over Land and Sea which was commissioned as a gift on the occasion of a marriage between the Pallavicini and Spinola families.
He is known to have made two busts located at the Magisterial Palace and the Banca Giuratale in Mdina; the latter is now found at the Manoel Theatre museum.
Other portraits of the Grand Master such as a tondo relief at the Magisterial Palace, and busts at the Franciscan convent in Valletta, the Conservatorio in Floriana and the Chancery in Valletta are also stylistically attributed to Troisi, although there is no documentary evidence of this.
The design of a life-size statue of Vilhena which was commissioned by the knight Felician de Savasse in 1734 is also attributed to Troisi.
The statue was cast in bronze by Louis Bouchet, and it was installed in the piazza of Fort Manoel in 1736.
He also manufactured a number of silver religious objects for churches, and details of some of his works are known through transactions.
In 1718, Troisi manufactured an altar antependium for the Archconfraternity of the Holy Cross at the Franciscan Church of St Mary of Jesus in Valletta.

D-glycerate dehydrogenase deficiency or PHGDH is a rare autosomal metabolic disease where the young patient is unable to produce an enzyme necessary to convert 3-phosphoglycerate into 3-phosphohydroxypyruvate, which is the only way for humans to synthesize serine.
In addition significantly shortening lifespan, PHGDH deficiencies are known to cause congenital microcephaly, psychomotor retardation, and seizures in both humans and rats, presumably due to the essential signaling within the nervous system that serine, glycine, and other downstream molecules are intimately involved with.
3-Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase catalyzes the transition of 3-phosphoglycerate into 3-phosphohydroxypyruvate, which is the committed step in the phosphorylated pathway of L-serine biosynthesis.
Nonetheless, the phosphorylated pathway that PHGDH participates in is still suspected to have an essential role in serine synthesis used in the developmental signaling of plants.

The collection owes its existence to two Lincoln University faculty members, Dick Lucas and Mike Smetham, both lecturers in the Plant Science department.
Although Lincoln College had from its earliest days acquired portraits of former principals and other people of note, it did not have a formal collecting policy.
In 1970, the sale of cigarettes and biscuits at morning and afternoon teas in the staff common room had raised a reasonable amount of money, and staff debated how to spend it.
By the end of 1974, an Art Committee had been formed, with Lucas as Chairman and Smetham as curatorial manager, as well as Gavin Daly.
As it was to hang in public spaces for staff and students to appreciate, the work also needed to have aesthetic appeal.
Funding was haphazard until art acquisition budget was formally established in 1987 by Vice-Chancellor Bruce Ross, who made the case to the College Council that art was an appropriate expenditure for what was then an agricultural college.
This was a time of growth for Lincoln, with its change from college to university, the expansion of the library, and the construction of two new lecture theatres.
After 40 years' service, ten years after their retirement, they both stood down from the Art and Heritage Committee in 2014.
Megan Clayton became the chair of the Art Committee, and a $200,000 grant from the Lottery Board Environment and Heritage Fund was secured, supplemented by funds from the University.
This enabled the appointment in 2018 of art curator Fiona Simpson, who began a three-year project to conserve the entire collection.
The Lincoln University Art Collection consists of over 280 works; the oldest dates back to 1639, but most are by New Zealand artists in the 1970s–1990s.
Most of the collection is on display in the George Forbes Memorial Library in Ivey Hall, the Stewart Lecture Block, the Commerce Building, and the Forbes Building.
Thomas Smith (18 October 1823 – 13 March 1869) was a British baker and confectioner who is traditionally described as the inventor of the Christmas cracker, in 1847.
Over the years as an apprentice he learned his trade until he became a master in his craft, experimenting with new designs and ideas in his spare time.
Smith opened his first shop in Goswell Road in Clerkenwell in London's East End in the 1840s where he baked wedding cakes and confectionery on the premises.
When Smith went to Paris in 1846 he came across the French 'bonbon', a sugared almond wrapped in a twist of tissue paper.
His first idea was to include love messages in the wrappers of the sweets in a similar way to that found in fortune cookies.
In 1860 Smith added the 'snap' element, the myth being that he added this when he heard the crackle of a log on a fire.
In reality 'Waterloo Crackers' as they were sometimes called had been around for decades by 1860 after the discovery of silver fulminate by the chemist Edward Charles Howard in 1800 and its further development by Luigi Valentino Brugnatelli in 1802 of a safe way of using it in amusements and for practical jokes.
Walter Smith, one of the three sons of Tom Smith who took over the running of the company after his death, originated the idea of the cracker as we know it today; it was he who decided to include the gifts and paper hats that then differentiated the Tom Smith cracker from that of their competitors.
By the 1890s sales of crackers were so successful that the company was employing 2,000 staff, many of whom were women, and was able to relocate to larger premises in Finsbury Square.
Tom Smith died at his home at 320 City Road aged 46 in 1869 from stomach cancer and is buried in Highgate Cemetery in London.

North Texas had competed in the Southland Conference in Division I-AA from 1983-1994 after the university's athletic department fell on hard financial times following the departure of head coach and athletic director Hayden Fry to Iowa.
The 1995 team was considered a transitional Division I-A member and was thus not eligible for a bowl game, regardless if they met the required six wins or not.
As part of a coordinated effort by the athletic department and donors to bring attendance levels up to Division I-A standards, donors and boosters alike bought out large sections of seats at Fouts Field to spike attendance numbers.
In addition to this, the university expanded the stadium itself, adding two sections of metal bleachers in the east and west end zones to bring the total capacity of the venue from 20,000 to 30,500.

After the independence and the partition of India on 15 August 1947, the ships and personnel of the Royal Indian Navy were divided between the Dominion of India and the Dominion of Pakistan.
The operational ships of the remaining Royal Indian Navy, minus Pakistan, were initially placed under the command of the Commodore Commanding Indian Naval Squadron (COMINS), later the Rear-Admiral Commanding Indian Naval Squadron (RACINS), whose title was then changed to Flag Officer (Flotilla) Indian Fleet (FOFIF).
Brown, who was the Commanding Officer of and serving as COMINS, seemingly at the same time, and later, Commodore (later Rear Admiral) G. Barnard who became COMINS and later Rear-Admiral Commanding, INS.
On the proclamation of a Republic in 1950, the 'Royal' title was dropped and the Navy became simply the Indian Navy.
In 1956, Rear Admiral Ram Dass Katari became the first Indian flag officer, and was appointed the first Indian FOCIF on 2 October, when he took over from Rear Admiral Tyrwhitt.
In 1957, was commissioned, and the flag of Rear Admiral Katari was transferred, INS Mysore thus becoming the flagship of the Indian Fleet.
Rear Admiral S H Sarma, PVSM was appointed as the founding Flag Officer Commanding Eastern Fleet (FOCEF) who commanded the fleet during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.
In mid 1971, The Aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, along with the frigates INS Brahmaputra and INS Beas were moved from the Western Fleet to the Eastern Naval Command.
This aim would involve keeping under the most careful surveillance the area of a triangle with a base of 270 miles and two sides of 165 and 225 miles, involving 18,000 square miles.
Alizé and Hawker Sea Hawk aircraft from the INS Vikrant and the ships of the fleet bombarded Chittagong and Cox's Bazar.
The Eastern Fleet also enforced contraband control until tasked with an amphibious landing to cut off the land escape routes into Burma.
After the surrender of Pakistan on 16 December 1971, the FOCEF was given the task of reopening and reactivating the Port of Chittagong.
The entire Western Fleet had sailed from Mumbai to the North Arabian Sea to increase surveillance and adopt a deterrent posture.
Later, then-Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif disclosed that Pakistan was left with just six days of fuel to sustain itself if a full-scale war had broken out.
A widebeam canal boat on the waterways managed by the British Canal and River Trust (CRT) has a beam of or greater and is built in the style of a narrowboat.
With each class of boat they provide a picture and the one provided for a widebeam is of a boat wider than a narrowboat, but built in the style of a narrowboat.
Although there are widebeams permanently moored in marinas that never cruise waterways in which case as houseboats they do not have to be restricted to sizes that will allow them to cruise on local waterways.
If they are to cruise on waterways, then the other maximum dimensions of length, draft and height depend on the size restrictions of the waterway.
Length is restricted by the length of the shortest lock, beam is usually restricted by the narrowest lock (although there are sometimes other width restrictions), depth—the depth closer to the banks of a canal may be lower than those of the centre channel (this is more of an impediment for widebeams than narrowboats), and height by the clearance under bridges or in tunnels.
For example if a widebeam is to cruise in and around London then if the boat is only to travel down the Lee Navigation from Hertford to Limehouse Basin in the East of London then the maximum dimensions are length, beam, draft, and height of , , , .
If the widebeam is also going to navigate through central London on the Regents Canal to Little Venice, then the length, beam an draft are further constricted to , , although the height restriction of a boat on the Lee (due to low bridges) means that the roof of a boat that can cruise on the Lee Navigation is low enough for the boat to cruise on Regents Canal.
If the boat is to travel along the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal to the junction of the main Grand Union then the height is further restricted to (the Paddington Arm has no locks so the width restriction is due to some other feature).
At the junction of the Paddington Arm and the main Grand Union Canal, if the boat was to turn south through Brentford and travel down the Thames to Limehouse Basin, then the maximum length is further restricted to .
From Rickmansworth the boat can travel further north up the Grand Union, but at Leighton Buzzard there is a lock that is only , so a widebeam built for the canals and rivers in and around London with a beam of will not be able to navigate further north.
Similarly a widebeam built for navigating on the Grand Union (south of Leighton Buzzard), the Regents Canal and the Lee Navigation will not be able to travel up the river Stort (a tributary of the Lea), unless its maximum dimensions do not exceed a length, beam, depth and height of , , , .

Hack Fall Wood, otherwise known as Hackfall, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, or SSSI, of , lying north-east of the village of Grewelthorpe, North Yorkshire, England.
During the 18th century it was landscaped in the picturesque style by landowner William Aislabie, who created views by engineering streams and pools, planting trees and building follies.
Together with the Hackfall Trust and the Landmark Trust, the Woodland Trust restored footpaths, conserved the remaining follies and managed the wildlife habitat according to its SSSI status.
The woodland is open to the public and has many summer visitors, although the only public facility is a car park.
John Aislabie (1670–1742) of Studley Royal Park, who had been responsible for the formal-style landscaping of Studley Royal and Fountains Abbey, purchased this land in 1731.
He bought it for its timber, and perhaps also for its lime kiln, the coal pits near Limehouse Hill, sandstone quarries for repairing Ripon Cathedral, and the sawmill.
His son William Aislabie (1700–1781), with an eye to the sublime aesthetic, landscaped the site in a natural, picturesque style with follies, an artificial waterfall, temples and grottoes among the trees, and the kinds of views and glades which were fashionable at the time.
Aislabie used the Banqueting House, now known as the Mowbray Point Ruin, to entertain friends, and in the 19th century this became a tea room for tourists, when Hackfall was the property of Lord Ripon and available to those could pay for entry.
It was pictured on five or six items of Wedgwood's 944-piece Frog dinner service of 1773, made for Catherine the Great.
In March 1933 after the National Trust failed to purchase it due to lack of funds, timber merchant John Green bought the wood, and most of it was clear-felled, then partially replanted with conifers.
By 1937 Hackfall was a commercial farm and woodland, then during World War II it was allowed to degenerate, and fell prey to vandalism.
The wood was, however, allowed to regenerate naturally until the 1980s, and a small part still remains of the Sandbed Hut near Limehouse Hill, and the entrance Gate Pillars.
When the property was offered for sale in 1987 and a threat of commercial development was noted, the Hackfall Trust was formed to raise funds for restoration of the landscaping.
The three organisations responsible for organising the restoration and maintenance of the site are the Hackfall Trust, the Woodland Trust and the Landmark Trust.
The key habitat of Hack Fall Wood is listed as a Conservation Area, it is included in the United Kingdom Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP); it is listed as Ancient Semi-Natural Woodland (ASNW), and it is on the Invertebrate Site Register (ISR).
It sits on the north and east slopes where the River Ure flows through the Hackfall Gorge, the site being adjacent to the north-east side of Grewelthorpe, and south of Masham.
Although there are no facilities apart from a comparatively recent car park, the site has been popular with tourists since the 19th century.
There are no toilets, the nearest being at Grewelthorpe or Masham, and there is no wheelchair access, due to rough terrain and steep paths.
This ancient woodland was mostly felled in the 1930s, and the present tree cover has naturally regenerated since then, featuring a diversity of localised species, and also many common species such as sycamore, beech, scots pine, foxglove, dog rose and red campion.
For example, around the Brimham Grits cliffs and steep slopes the soil is acidic, and woodland trees are holly, rowan, with a predominant canopy of silver birch and sessile oak.
Other woodland floor plants here are primrose, wood anemone, enchanter's nightshade, woodruff or sweet-scented bedstraw, ramsons or wild garlic and dog's mercury.
Beside the streams, on steep sides and rocks, are many bryophytes, and ferns such as male fern, polypody and hart's tongue.
In the northern part of the site, many wych elms have been lost to Dutch elm disease, leaving clearings full of rose bay willowherb, bramble and bracken.
The Harrogate and District Naturalist's Society (HDNS) recorded 24 bird species here in March 2017, including mallard, sparrowhawk, grey wagtail, wren, robin, song thrush, blackbird, chiffchaff, great tit, long-tailed tit, nuthatch and chaffinch.
The lemon slug is a creature of ancient woodland which eats fungi; it has become rare due to loss of habitat.
The main principles of maintenance in this case are to make sure that the woodland is appropriate for the site's history, geology and geography, that it can continue to regenerate following the clearcutting of the 1930s, and that the protected habitat and biota can be supported.
Dead wood is good for fungi and invertebrates, but this wood constitutes a public area, so dying trees must be made safe especially in popular places.
Between August and February (to avoid the breeding season), non-Indigenous trees and shrubs may be cleared, and in some areas thinning may take place to maintain variety of woodland structure.
Light grazing by deer, cattle and rabbits is conducive to species diversity, but sometimes the woodland will need protection from these if they over-graze.
Some areas of the wood should be left completely unmanaged, with fallen trees permitted to pile up, providing habitat and insect food for a variety of wildlife.
Therefore, the site should be protected against commercial and agricultural water extraction or ground pollution by waste, fertiliser, herbicide and insecticide.
When the site was assessed on 28 May 2012, the first two larger units were judged to be in favourable condition.
Unit One, in the north, had mature woodland with old and young trees, fallen deadwood and some sycamore but not too much.
Unit Two, in the centre of the site, had been in less favourable condition but was now acceptable, with varied woodland, diverse flora and sycamore whose expansion had been cut back sufficiently but still required monitoring.
Established on May 17, 1909 in the Hero City of Saint Petersburg, the college is one of the oldest military educational institutions still in operation in Russia and is the military counterpart of the long standing Lesgaft National State University of Physical Education, Sport and Health.
On May 17, 1909, Tsar Nicholas II formally granted the provisional regulations for military sports education, which were the basis for the formation of the current Military College.
It opened its doors on October 1, 1909 in Saint Petersburg as the Main Gymnastics and Fencing School (Главной гимнастическо-фехтовальной школе), which reported to the Commander of the Imperial Guard/Commanding General, Petersburg Military District and whose first cadets were military personnel of the Guards units and personnel of the district.
From the first days of the School’s existence, its command, faculty, and students did much to fulfill the school's fundamental mission to train military personnel in the modern studies of sports, health and physicial fitness education.
The first generation of military and civilian athletes, both of the Russian Empire and the first years of the Soviet Union, came out of the hours of studies in both military education and sports training in various sports disciplines offered in the school, who would then form the foundations of modern sport in Russia and post-Soviet countries.
Following the October Revolution the Council of People's Commissars, recognizing the importance of sports in the young Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic (RSFSR), reorganized the school, becoming the Soviet Military Gymnastics and Fencing Institute in 1918, the principal athletic center of the new Red Army and the nascent Soviet Armed Forces as a whole.
It was the Institute that formed up a military and athletic sports attitude for its cadets, who would be the foundation of a dynamic sports sector in the country.
In 1921, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee gave recognition to the efforts of the Institute when it was awarded the Revolutionary Red Banner of Honor.
It was in this status that the Armed Forces trained its future athletics, coaches, judges and sports officials for the hard but fruitful work in the sporting profession of the armed forces' CSKA system of sports teams, reinforced by a revised curiculum and improved scientific training in sports disciplines.
Its cadets fought bravely in the frontlines of the Great Patriotic War together with their alumni and college faculty members in both partisan formations and regular armed forces units, with 8 of its graduate athletes awarded the Gold Star Medal as Heroes of the Soviet Union.
In 1943, the College, then stationed in Moscow as a consequence of the long Siege of Leningrad, was awarded the Order of the Red Banner in honor of its role in the war effort, and returned back to Leningrad after the war, where it remains to this day.
Since 2015 the Sporting School Cadet Corps St. Petersburg, which is operated under the auspices of the Ministry of Defense, is affilated to the Military College.
The college leadership help train the young boys and girls of the school not just in military training and education but also in sports, health and phyisical education training to train future athletes who are the vanguard of future generations of Russia's athletes who will help fulfill not just the needs of the armed forces but also the country's international committments to the wide world of global sports.

An auricular splint (AS) or ear splint is a custom-made medical device that is used to maintain auricular projection and dimensions following second stage auricular reconstruction.
The AS is made from ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), which is typically used to make custom-made mouthguards and was developed by a team from Great Ormond Street Hospital in the United Kingdom.
The auricle is typically reconstructed using autogenous cartilage, which is the most reliable material for producing the best results with the least complications.
Cartilage from the knee and contralateral auricular cartilage from the concha have also been reported but costal cartilage is typically used as it is the only donor site that provides sufficient tissue to fabricate the complete auricular framework.
The AS is made from ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), which is inert and non-toxic, non-absorbent, sufficiently elastic to allow it to fitted and removed but sufficiently rigid to avoid breakage.
The concept was first presented at the 2nd Congress of the International Society for Auricular Reconstruction in Beijing, China in September 2017 and published in the Annals of Plastic Surgery the following year.
The first stage involves taking an impression of the reconstructed auricle with Soft Putty Elastomer, which is cast in dental stone to make a model of the reconstructed auricle.
It is published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins and the editor-in-chief is William C. Lineaweaver (Joseph M. Still Burn and Reconstructive Center, Brandon, Mississippi, United States).
The journal is abstracted and indexed in CAB Abstracts, Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, Embase, Index Medicus/MEDLINE/PubMed, Science Citation Index Expanded, and Scopus.

Bruno Gatti (* 28 August 1941) was a Swiss footballer who played in the 1960s for Black Stars Basel, FC Basel and then FC Biel-Bienne.
Before the winter break, he played with the Black Stars in the Cup against FC Basel and his club was knocked out of the compition.
He played his debut for his new team on 30 December 1962 in the Cup as Basel won against SC Burgdorf 7–1.
Two goals after half time, one by Heinz Blumer and the second from Otto Ludwig gave Basel a 2–0 victory and their third Cup win in their history.

The FIA Global Pathway from Karting to Formula One is a program developed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the international sanctioning body for motorsports that is designed to assist racing drivers progress from karting to Formula One.
The program was first developed in 2014 with the creation of the Formula 4 category, and follows a tiered structure, with drivers racing in increasingly-powerful cars.
Each Formula 4 championship uses chassis and engines built to a single specification so that drivers can compete in multiple championships without having to adjust to a different car.
The second stage of the Global Pathway is Regional Formula 3, which puts drivers in cars that are progressively more powerful than those used in Formula 4.
Drivers will not be required to participate in Formula 2 to compete in Formula One, as success in Formula 3 will contribute to a driver's FIA Super Licence; however, of the series which are recognised as contributing to a Super Licence, Formula 2 will have the greatest weight.
Rather than creating a new series where none previously existed, the FIA chose to rebrand the GP2 Series as the FIA Formula 2 Championship starting in 2017.
Formula One represents the top tier of the Global Pathway, with the series recognised by the FIA as the premier class of open-wheel motorsport.
Other established open-wheel series, such as Formula Renault, are not considered to be a part of the Global Pathway, but will still contribute to a driver's Super Licence.
Robert R. Locke (born February 19, 1932, in Montebello, California) is an American educator, historian and economist and emeritus professor of history, business, and management at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
He received his PhD from University of California at Los Angeles in 1965 and was a Fullbright fellow in Germany and England.
It was constructed in the 15th-century as part of a Gothic-style church and was the site of William III's first proclamation in England.
The lower stage has a door on the west face set within a granite arch, the door is wooden and dates to the 20th-century.
One the east face of the lower stage the roof line of the former nave can be discerned i the stonework; below this is a small trefoil-topped window.
The upper stage has two arched windows in the centre of each face with a clock face below on the west and east faces.
A church had sat on this site, in the centre of Newton Abbot and the meeting point of its three main streets, since 1220 and is mentioned in a surviving document of 29 May 1350.
The nave was described as unremarkable aside from some oak seats to the east of the font which were particularly historic.
In 1688, William of Orange made his first proclamation in England from the market cross to the immediate east of the church.
The structure's use as a church had largely been supplanted by the newer church at nearby Wolborough but it was used for marriage and baptism ceremonies.
In the late 1960s the Central Electricity Generating Board proposed installing a substation within the tower and a local group raised funds to purchase the tower to prevent this.
Today the tower is owned by the Newton Abbot Town Council and looked after by the Newton Abbot Museum who open it to the public for free on selected days between May and September.
On June 23, 1945, Kemenov wrote the Soviet National Council of Foreign Affairs to request that the Soviet Union send artists to the United States and United Kingdom; the request met little interest.

Usually, they are announced as part of the New Year and Canada Day celebrations and are published within the Canada Gazette during year.
This follows the custom set out within the United Kingdom which publishes its appoints of various British Honours for New Year's and for monarch's official birthday.
However, instead of the midyear appointments announced on Victoria Day, the official birthday of the Canadian Monarch, this custom has been transferred with the celebration of Canadian Confederation and the creation of the Order of Canada.
However, as the Canada Gazette publishes appointment to various orders, decorations and medal, either Canadian or from Commonwealth and foreign states, this article will reference all Canadians so honoured during the 2013 calendar year.
Provincial Honours are not listed within the Canada Gazette, however they are listed within the various publications of each provincial government.

Esther Gehlin née Henriques (1892–1949) was a Danish-Swedish painter of Jewish descent whose water colours and oils include still lifes, interiors, portraits and landscapes.
From 1922, she and her artist husband Hugo Gehlin settled in the Swedish town of Helsingborg where local artists and writers frequently gathered in their home.
Born in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen on 24 March 1892, Esther Henriques was the daughter of the factory director Michael Emil Martin Henriques and Julie Christiane Poulsen.
After attending The Technical Institute from 1908, she was admitted to the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1911, graduating in 1915.
In 1922 they settled in Helsingborg, first in Raus and from 1925 in a house on S:t Clemens gata which became a venue for local artists, writers and actors to socialize.
For many years, Gehlin painted in water colours and oils, creating portraits, still lifes and landscapes, the latter inspired by views from her home which overlooked the city's port, houses and gardens.
Due to the worsening Lebanese civil war at the time, Khuri left the country for the United Kingdom and held a series of visiting professorships at the London School of Economics, University of Manchester, University of Chicago and the University of Oregon.
In 1964, Khuri completed his PhD in social anthropology at the University of Oregon, with his thesis being on the influence of men in Magburaka, Sierra Leone.
As a professor, he served multiple terms as chairperson of the university's Department of Sociology and the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
The book chronicles Bahrain's pre-modern history and proved controversial to the Bahraini government as the book was banned in the country despite high demand.
Due to escalations in the Lebanese civil war in 1987, Khuri resigned as professor and relocated with his family to the town of Reading, England.
From 1987 to 1992, he worked as the director of the Issam Fares Foundation on behalf of his Lebanese friend and businessman, Issam Fares.
Fuad Khuri was married to Sonia Jalbout Khuri, an AUB graduate of mathematics who taught the field in both Lebanon and the UK.
Deutsche Grammophon issued it on VHS video cassette, Laserdisc and DVD, and also released audio cassette and CD versions of its soundtrack.
Mozart was so impressed by Venanzio Rauzzini's performance as Cecilio that he was inspired to compose a motet specially for the castrato as a showcase for his virtuosity.
The architecture of its music suggests that it was modelled on Neapolitan symphonies and concertos, and its brilliant coloratura vocal writing is reminiscent of contemporary Italian opera.
He vowed in July that if she recovered, if their marriage plans were fulfilled and if he was able to introduce her to his father and sister in Salzburg, he would compose a Mass as an expression of gratitude.
Constanze did indeed get better, and the couple were married on 4 August: Mozart began work on his Mass shortly afterwards.
A letter that he wrote to Leopold on 4 January 1783 reported that the work was half finished and that he had every hope of completing it.
His sister Nannerl recorded in her diary that Constanze was the soprano soloist and Mozart the conductor when the Mass received its first performance in St Peter's Abbey on 26 October.
(It is conjectured that its omissions may have been repaired with borrowings from the other Mass settings that Mozart had composed while in the service of Hieronymus von Colloredo, Salzburg's Prince-Archbishop).
Some musicologists think that the ambition of the Mass's music was in part the consequence of Mozart's encountering the baroque masterpieces of Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel in private concerts given by Baron Gottfried van Swieten.
Leonard Bernstein's album uses a performing score devised by Franz Beyer in 1989, which fills Mozart's lacunae with modest pastiches of his string writing but resists the temptation to embellish the music's texture with organ, brass or percussion parts.
But he found time to travel from Vienna to join his wife in a holiday in the spa town of Baden bei Wien.
The work was completed on 17 June, and was probably first performed on the feast of Corpus Christi, which in 1791 occurred six days later.
Leonard Bernstein's film of these three works - including his first ever performance of the Mass - was recorded in concerts and retake sessions on 4 and 5 April 1990 in the Stiftsbasilika in Waldsassen.
Attached to a Cistercian abbey and consecrated in 1704, the basilica was chosen as a filming location because of its acoustics, its tranquillity and the beauty of its rococo design, and also for reasons of philosophy.
Waldsassen is near the border between the German state of Bavaria and the Czech Republic, and has been claimed to be close to the centre of the European continent.
Making his album less than a year after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Bernstein regarded the town as an ideal place in which to perform music that he hoped would help Europe to make the transition from division and conflict to unity and peace.
However, it was questionable whether he had been wise to decelerate the last bars of the piece as though reluctant to say goodbye to it, making Mozart sound Mahlerian.
In any event, it was too late to ask Bernstein why he had conducted the music in the way in which he had.
As far as one could tell from just listening to Bernstein's CD rather than seeing the forthcoming video from which it was derived, his concert had been a happy one.
The album was an essential purchase for devotees of Bernstein, even though he was not famed as a Mozartian and his conducting was not idiomatic.
In 1991, Deutsche Grammophon released a 71-minute soundtrack of the album (omitting Bernstein's talk) on chromium dioxide, Dolby B audio cassette (catalogue number 431-791-4) and on CD (catalogue number 431-791-2).
The CD is accompanied by a 24-page insert booklet, designed under the art direction of Lutz Bode, including a photograph of Leonard Posch's 1789 boxwood relief of Mozart, a photograph of Waldsassen's Stiftsbasilika by Susesch Bayat, a photograph of Bernstein by Ludwig Schirmer, texts in English, French, German and Latin and notes by Peter Branscombe, Jean-Victor Hocquard, Wolfgang Hochstein and Paolo Gallarati in English, French, German and Italian respectively.
Also in 1991, Deutsche Grammophon issued the album on an 86-minute VHS video cassette (catalogue number 072-185-3) and an 86-minute CLV (extended play) PAL Laserdisc (catalogue number 072-185-1), both with 4:3 colour video and the latter with CD-quality digital stereo audio.
In 2006, Deutsche Grammophon issued the album on an 86-minute Region 0 DVD (catalogue number 00440-073-4240), with 4:3 NTSC colour video and with audio in both PCM stereo and an ersatz 5.1-channel DTS upmix created by Emil Berliner Studios of Langenhagen using the company's AMSI II (Ambient Surround Imaging) technology.
The DVD offers subtitles in Chinese, English, French, German, Latin and Spanish, and is accompanied by a 12-page booklet lacking texts but including notes by Wolfgang Stähr in English, French and German.
The Semanggi shootings in Jakarta, Indonesia, were two incidents when state troops opened fire on unarmed civilians and protesters during special sessions of parliament.
The second incident, Semanggi II, took place on 24 September 1999 and 12 people were killed and more than 200 wounded.
After long-serving President Suharto was forced to resign in May 1998 amid mass protests and deadly riots, student protesters continued to demand political reforms, particularly an end to the political role of the military and police.
In November 1998, a Special Session of Indonesia's People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) was convened to decide on a timetable for future national elections.
On 13 November 1998, thousands of students held a sit-down protest near Atma Jaya University and the Semanggi cloverleaf interchange leading to the parliament building.
The dead were identified as: Teddy Wardhani Kusuma, Sigit Prasetyo (YAI), Heru Sudibyo (Universitas Terbuka), Engkus Kusnadi (Universitas Jakarta), Muzammil Joko (Universitas Indonesia), Uga Usmana, Abdullah/Donit, Agus Setiana, Budiono, Doni Effendi, Rinanto, Sidik, Kristian Nikijulong, Sidik, Hadi.
On 24 September 1999, students in Jakarta and several other cities were protesting a proposed law that would give the Army wider powers in emergency situations.
The government and military's refusal to bring senior officers to trial for the Semanggi killings prompted civil society groups to call on the House of Representatives (DPR) to set up an ad hoc tribunal.
The DPR (legislators for the 1999-2004 period) in 2000 set up a Special Committee (Pansus) to examine whether the May 1998 Trisakti shootings and the two Semanggi incidents constituted gross violations of human rights.
Only three factions -- the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), the Love for the Nation Democratic Party (PDKB) and the National Awakening Party (PKB) -- stated the killings contained the elements of gross human rights violations.
The other DPR factions -- Golkar Party, the military/police, the United Development Party (PPP), the Crescent Star Party (PBB), the Reformasi Faction, the Indonesian Nationhood Unity Party (KKI) and the Daulat Ummah Party (PDU) -- declared the killings were not gross human rights violations.
The DPR therefore decided the killings should be dealt with by military tribunals, rather than an ad hoc human rights court.
In June 2003, another military court sentenced an Army Strategic Reserve Command (Kostrad) soldier, Buhari Sastro Tua Putty, for the shooting of Yun Hap at Semnanggi II.
Although it was proven at the tribunal that the bullet that killed Yun Hap came from Buhari's gun, Djdja Suparman, who headed Kostrad when Semanggi II occurred, later wrote a book in which he suggested that an unknown party might have been using Buhari's gun.
Meanwhile, the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) established a Commission of Inquiry into Human Rights Violations in Trisakti and Semanggi (KPP-TSS).
The military and police argued that Komnas HAM's inquiry was illegitimate because the DPR had ruled that no gross violations of human rights occurred, and hence the officers ignored summonses for questioning, forcing Komnas HAM to subpoena witnesses under Article 95 of the Human Rights Law.
Komnas HAM sent its case files to the Attorney General's Office to initiate prosecutions, but the files were deemed incomplete and sent back.
In 2007, some House factions tried to overturn the decision that the killings were not a gross violation of human rights, but the majority of parties rejected the proposal.
The Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras) questioned how the Attorney General's Office could make such a statement when it had never investigated the killings.
Under Law Number 26/200 on Human Rights Courts, the mechanism for declaring whether or not something is a gross human rights violation is: Komnas HAM investigates the incident, then the Attorney General's Office conducts a criminal investigation and prosecution, and a Human Rights Court tries the perpetrators.

The draft amendments to the Constitution were submitted to a referendum in accordance with article 2 of the Law on Amendments to the Constitution.
Unlike a referendum carried out in accordance with the referendum law, voters will be asked whether they approve the entire revised constitution as a whole, rather than approving each amendment separately.
At the same time, there are no differences from the referendum, just as in 1993, when the All-Russian vote on the adoption of the Constitution was held, which was also not officially referred to as a referendum.
The exact date of the vote has not yet been announced, but it is known that it will take place before 1 May.
By 20 January, the proposed reforms were fully drafted into a legislative bill and had already been formally introduced into the State Duma for consideration.
By the time an initial vote on the bill takes place, likely on 23 January, fewer than ten days will have passed since the proposals were first suggested.
In addition to the amendments mentioned during the press conference, Putin also proposed a number of amendments to improve social policy and public administration.
Immediately after the address, Putin formed a working group to prepare amendments to the Constitution, which included 75 people, including politicians, legislators, scholars and public figures.
Putin noted that Russia’s parliament is legally capable of changing the Constitution, but he argued that a national vote is necessary to make the amendments legitimate.
While Putin said the package of amendments should be put to a nationwide vote, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that vote does not entail a referendum.
On January 20 Russian President Vladimir Putin submitted a bill on constitutional amendments to the State Duma (the lower house of parliament).
The renewal of the Constitution proposed by Russia’s President Vladimir Putin requires neither a referendum, nor convening of the Constitutional Assembly.
According to the Constitution, however, that is not the case: The results of a nationwide vote must be enforced as is.
All-Russian voting is not provisioned by the constitution or mentioned in any federal laws, regional laws or any other legal documents.
Tessa Keswick (born Annabel Terese Fraser, 15 October 1942) is a British policy analyst and the Chancellor of the University of Buckingham.

In this role she contributed to, commissioned and published over 100 public policy pamphlets on the European Union, the Constitution, law and order, education, health, tax and regulatory affairs and women’s issues.
On the day of publication she was interviewed about it for Talk Radio, Radio Guernsey, and by Robert Elms for BBC Radio London.
Treblinka, located northeast of Warsaw, Poland, was once a concentration camp that was used to systematically murder nearly one million Jews.
By examining these discoveries at Treblinka, I hope to present a deeper understanding of the horrors that the Nazis attempted to cover up as a result of their disregard for human life.
Caroline Sturdy Colls, a Professor Conflict Archeology and Genocide Investigation at Staffordshire University, who specializes in Holocaust studies, led a team of archaeologists in the most recent excavations at the grounds of Treblinka extermination camp (Wikipedia Nov 11).
These discoveries prove the value of archaeology when documenting historical sites, discovering information and details that have been previously unavailable to historians.
During this first excavation, project leader Colls discovered that the Nazis had built a fake train station with a ticket counter and clock (Svoboda 2016).
Jews who were sent there were told they were going to a transit camp but were actually arriving at one of the largest death camps the Nazis had ever developed.
By using this technology, the archaeologists were able to recover information without disturbing the burial grounds, which would violate Jewish laws concerning respectful of the dead, also known as Jewish Halacha Law.
Colls has written her own book, Holocaust Archaeologies: Approaches and Future Directions, and is also one of the authors of Human Remains in Society: Curation and Exhibition in the Aftermath of Genocide and Mass-violence which was published in 2016 and mainly written by Jean-Marc Dreyfus and Élisabeth Anstett.
The team of archaeologists were shocked to find the deeply hidden evidence of the Nazi’s crimes, and it made them wonder how much more evidence could be hidden.
As for the book that Colls collaborated with Dreyfus and Anstett on, she got a chapter in the book to talk about a through the history of the Holocaust as well as her expertise on concentration camp archaeology.
The archaeologists found broken pieces of the tile while lined the gas chamber walls and had stars of David carved into them.
There were two gas chambers but the smaller one of the two stopped being used after the second bigger chamber was built.
Colls had learned previously from a survivor that the Nazis staged the gas chambers to look harmless so that the victims would not struggle to go inside.
Colls goes on to say the site was abandoned by the Nazis in 1943 and was not protected until it was levelled to create a memorial in the 1960s.
Colls and her team used remote sensing technology to detect things underground and put the data together in order to understand what actually happened on the grounds of Treblinka.
Over time there have been trees planted over where the former extermination and labour camp areas, which has forced Colls and her team to develop unique surveying techniques.
This technique was especially helpful for recreating the layout of the camp through trees and erosion that has occurred in the last seventy years.
It detects any evidence of burning or changes to the Earth’s magnetic field, which could help them find cremated human bodies.
While Colls and her team have uncovered ground-breaking evidence, there are many limitations to their work including the Jewish Halacha Law.
Although the bodies and other evidence are out of sight, the need for justice for the victims are just beginning to be served.
It is against Jewish law to disrupt the ground of this essentially large cemetery; therefore, it is a desolate place of mourning.
Hundreds of thousands of people died at Treblinka, a fraction of Europe’s population was murdered, and future generations need to be informed of the horrors of the Holocaust so that it never happens again.
In 1943, the Nazis destroyed what they could before leading the remaining prisoners on a death march, during which tens of thousands of prisoners would later die.
If a visitor of Treblinka is Jewish and knows someone who was killed there, they may have a much deeper and more meaningful experience compared to an atheist from America who simply wanted to see the remains in person.
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has a database in which decedents of the victims could attempt to find a record of their relatives.
This type of location and horror tends to bring people from different walks of life together to pay respects to the prisoner’s wrongful deaths.
Some survivors of Treblinka have come out and spoke about the horrors to inform the world and even to shut down the Holocaust deniers.
Sixty-seven people survived Treblinka, but the last living survivor died in 2016, so there is no longer anyone alive who can describe Treblinka from a first-hand perspective.
Colls has not stopped her work after the 2011 findings and will continue to try and unearth the evidence of the Nazi’s crimes during World War II.
Considering archaeologists continue to find further evidence of the Holocaust seventy years after the fact has left Colls and her team wondering if there is more to discover.
Prior to the findings in 2011, Holocaust deniers claimed there was not any evidence of exterminations at Treblinka, and that it was simply a transit camp which moved Jews from Poland to other locations across Europe (Wikipedia November 18).
Colls and her team have proved these people wrong and brought to light the true horrors that took place within the barbed wire fences of Treblinka.
My own narrative is now part of this ongoing documentation of Treblinka that I can share with those looking to seek more information about this sometimes forgotten or ignored human rights tragedy.

Al-Muhājir ibn Khālid ibn al-Walīd (died 657) was an Arab soldier in the army of Caliph Ali () and son of the prominent general Khalid ibn al-Walid.
Muhajir was a son of Khalid ibn al-Walid, a member of the Banu Makhzum and a leading general of the early Muslim conquests.
Unlike his paternal brother Abd al-Rahman, Muhajir supported Caliph Ali () in the First Muslim Civil War and died fighting against the army of Ali's principal enemy, the governor of Syria and future founder of the Umayyad Caliphate Mu'awiya ibn Abi Sufyan, at the Battle of Siffin in the summer of 657.
After Abd al-Rahman was alleged to have been poisoned to death on Mu'awiya's orders in 666/67, Muhajir's son Khalid from Mecca killed his uncle's alleged poisoner Ibn Uthal in Syria, was arrested and released after paying blood money.
Khalid ibn Muhajir was also a poet and sided with Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, a rival claimant to the caliphate, against the Umayyads during the Second Muslim Civil War.
She survived, despite spending much of the time during those twelve years in prisons and concentration camps: her health was badly affected.
Despite being an unusually liberal minded man, happy alike to treat the urban poor and members of the family of the local prince, Martin Overlach was not politically involved.
Her father's death in 1912 left the family in financial difficulties and she was obliged to take a full-time office job.
Following the outbreak of war in the late summer of 1914 she had, in addition, volunteered as a nursing auxiliary at one of the city's improvised military hospitals.
It is not clear how politically active Helene Overlach had been in 1914, but by the time the war ended four years later she was committed to the political left, which in Germany at the time correlated with uncompromising anti-militarism and opposition to the war.
The war had been conducted for and by imperialists, while the workers had paid the price in blood and impoverishment, according to a political pamphlet she came across in 1917 which turned out to have been produced by a (still virtually unknown) Russian Marxist identifying himself as Vladimir Lenin.
During the first part of 1919 she supported herself by working as a teacher at a Berlin business school, but in October of that year she relocated to Munich where she worked as a typist in a lawyer's office.
Her stay in Munich seems to have been brief, since according to at least one source, during 1920 she joined the Communist Party itself, not in Munich but as a member of the party's regional party group, far to the north, in the Hamburg-Wasserkante region.
In 1921 she also took a job with the party, working as a typist-secretary at the young party's main office in Berlin.
During this period she worked for a time with Wilhelm Pieck, a clever and ambitious politician who would emerge nearly thirty years later as the first president of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany).
This included some time during 1922/23 based in Düsseldorf at the party's main office for the heavily industrialised western region, where she worked principally for party comrade .
Although her typing and secretarial were evidently more noteworthy and valued by the party in the 1920s than equivalent abilities would have become a century later, Helene Overlach also found time to branch out into politicised journalism.
Helene Overlach's work at the heart of the party bureaucracy meant that she came to know leading party members, several of whom appear to have been impressed by her.
During 1923 Helene Overlach was sent to meet Zetkin at Hamm railway station, a short distance to the north-east of Essen.
Overlach's selection was almost certainly connected with her unfailing support for her party comrade Ernst Thälmann, whose own star was also in the ascendancy: supported by Party General Secretary Stalin, Thälmann took over as party leader in Germany later that same year.
Overlach's progression from party official to the lower echelons of the German party leadership team will also have benefitted from her having impressed Klara Zetkin, who lived during this time in Moscow and enjoyed cordial relations with the Soviet party leadership.
In 1929 she was listed as a candidate for membership of the party politburo, which under a conventional Leninist party structure would have represented a further major promotion.
However, in the Communist Party of Germany during the 1920s and 1930s the politburo remains a somewhat shadowy body: on the one hand there is no report in sources accessed of Overlach having made the final step from candidature to membership of it.
For Communist members, including Helene Overlach, Reichstag membership came with membership of the , which had been set up on 4 November 1928 in the context of Party Leader Thälmann's strategy of moving closer to the Soviet Communist Party (in the process further isolating the Communist Party from potential political allies in Germany).
Overlach remained a member of the Reichstag from May 1928, through three more general elections, till March 1933, despite being out of the country for much of the time.
The aftermath of the Wall Street crash was a period of high unemployment and intensifying political polarisation in Germany: Overlach was badly injured in a street demonstration in 1930.
After this there are no further references in sources accessed to the RFMB of which she had been deputy chair, and she probably stepped back from her political work while she recovered.
During her time in Moscow Overlach was invited, on returning west, to undertake research into the extent and nature of party work undertaken by women in France and England.
According to one source, while carrying out this instruction she met several western communist leaders including Maurice Thorez and Harry Pollitt.
Between them the National Socialist Party and Communist Party controlled more than 50% of the votes, but the democratic parties were fragmented there was no question, of the anti-democratic parties governing in coalition either with one another or with some broad coalition of democratic parties or with each other.
Along with her political activity, by the end of 1939 she had also successfully arranged for her daughter, by this time aged around 8, to be taken to Switzerland where the child was safely out of the way till 1942, when the Swiss authorities deported her back to Germany.
Time already spent in detention was off-set against the overall sentence in the usual way: between December 1933 and December 1936 she experienced the insides of the at , the at Schwäbisch Gmünd and the at Aichach.
There are suggestions that her release came in May or June 1938 only because the security services were convinced that she was too ill with heart disease to present a security threat.
The government responded by digging out for retribution a list of several thousand people who had been politically active before 1933.
Overnight, on 22/23 August 1944, an estimated 5,000 were arrested across Germany: most were promptly delivered to the closest concentration camp.
The slaughter of war had left Germany particularly short of able-bodied workers, with the result that more and more of the daily administrative work in the concentration camps was undertaken by selected inmates.
Her comrades also found a way to arrange a false name and the identity papers necessary for Overlach to remain undetected among the Polish women.
Although there was no longer any doubt that the end of the war was imminent, as the buses transporting the women left Ravensbrück on 25 April 1945, fighting around Berlin was still intense.
The immediate aftermath of war was a chaotic time, especially in what remained of Germany: normally reliable sources differ significantly about Helene Overlach's stay in Sweden.
One states that following her arrival in southern Sweden she was interned till July 1945: she then, in August 1945, returned to Berlin.
Elsewhere it is recorded that in of before June 1945 she had settled in Västerås, a manufacturing city a short distance to the west of Stockholm: she remained in Sweden for nearly a year.
It seems most likely, that having in most respects recovered her health, she returned to Berlin in April 1946, and was again reunited with her daughter Hanna, by now aged not quite fifteen.
While the eastern third of pre-war Germany had now become part of Poland, the western two thirds were placed under military occupation, divided into four different occupation zones.
The eastern part of Berlin to which Overlach now returned was now, , administered as part of the Soviet occupation zone.
Overlach worked in what later became known as East Berlin in a succession of senior positions in education administration, early on becoming head of the section dealing with girls' vocational education.
Directly after the war Berlin was not formally divided administratively: most of the physical divisions which would later divide the city were only set in place, progressively, during the 1950s.
Her high political profile before 1933 along with the quantity and quality of state honours that she received in later life have led commentators to question why she never returned to the political mainstream in East Germany.
But it also became clear, over time, that the group of 30 men who flew into Berlin from Moscow at the end of April 1945 under the leadership of Walter Ulbricht had arrived with their own meticulously prepared nation building programme.
During the 1950s those few political figures who rose to prominence in the party central leadership team, such as Paul Merker, who had survived the war years somewhere other than the Soviet Union, found themselves more than averagely likely to fall victim to the leader's permanent mistrustfulness.
Simply by having spent the Hitler years in Germany and then surviving the experience, she risked becoming an object of suspicion among politically ambitious comrades taking their lead from Ulbricht.
At the end of 1954 Helene Overlach, now aged 60, was driven by serious heart disease to retire from her professional roles.

This was in response to the Allied landings in the south of France, which created the danger that these troops would move into Italy via the Alpine passes.
After the Allied spring offensive was launched in April 1945, the Corps was attacked from behind and forced to capitulate together with the rest of the Axis troops in Italy.
Aniela Kupiec (5 April 1920 – 11 September 2019) was a Polish poet and public figure from Zaolzie region of Cieszyn Silesia in the Czech Republic.
Three months after she was born, the region of Cieszyn Silesia, where she had been born in was divided between Poland and Czechoslovakia as a result of the Spa Conference.
This was an unwelcome change from the office work she did briefly in the Třinec Iron and Steel Works before the war cost her that job.
In the 1950s she was involved in folk activities of the Polish Cultural and Educational Union, and in meteorology where she recorded weather data.
She was always writing poems but she did not regard herself as a poet, and it was not until 1981 that her first book of poetry was published.
Poets who wrote in Cieszyn Silesian generally regarded their work as part of the Polish literary tradition, rather than belonging to a new literary language.

The College of Pharmacy, the first and only College of Pharmacy in Miami-Dade County, offers a three-year Doctor of Pharmacy program (the only 3 year PharmD program in Florida) and graduated its inaugural Doctor of Pharmacy class in May 2019.
She had an overall length of , a beam of , gross register tonnage of 1,221 tons and a speed of .
Originally, she was used to carry mail and after 1914 as a hospital ship and a minelayer in the service of the Imperial Navy.
Around 4:00 am of 19 January 1947, while sailing in fog in the South Euboean Gulf, the vessel hit a reef near the Verdugia () islets, which are located between Agia Marina () and Nea Styra ().
However, the panic during her disorderly abandonment, combined with the low temperatures and strong sea currents, resulted in around 400 people perishing.
The Pilot 35 is an American sailboat that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1962.
The boat was designated as Sparkman & Stephens design #1727 and was intended as fiberglass boat especially for Henry R. Hinckley & Company (Hinckley Yachts), who built the design in Southwest Harbor, Maine, United States.
A total of 117 examples of the design were completed between 1962 and 1975, but it is now out of production.
It features a spooned raked stem, a raised counter transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed long keel.
The boat is fitted with a Westerbeke 4-107 FWC diesel engine of or a Universal gasoline engine for docking and maneuvering.
The galley is a split design, with the two-burner, alcohol-fired stove and oven and sink to port and the refrigerator to starboard, the top of which serves as a navigation station.
The toerails, handrails and the long, sweeping cockpit coaming, as well as all other topside trim parts, are all made from teak wood.
This is a list of Nigeria's official representatives and their placements at the Big Four international beauty pageants, considered the most important in the world.
The station made two unsuccessful attempts operating, once from November 1960 to January 1961 and again from September 1961 to January 1962.
WTVI equipment, buildings and personnel later were used in the start-up of two other stations, one of them in Fort Pierce.
On April 19, 1955, the Federal Communications Commission granted Gene T. Dyer a construction permit for a new television station to operate on channel 19 at Fort Pierce.
In 1956, WTVI proposed to have the then-vacant channel 3 allocation at St. Petersburg moved to Fort Pierce for its use, noting that there were no applicants for the channel and UHF conversion rates in Fort Pierce were below 10 percent.
Educational interests in the St. Petersburg area resisted the proposal, noting that a group was being formed to apply for it, and the bid to move channel 3 was denied in 1957.
The larger of the two was that a cable system was gearing up to serve Fort Pierce at the same time WTVI began building its facility.
Florida Cablevision promised to fill the blanks for Treasure Coast viewers with missing CBS and ABC service (the only station that came in regularly was WPTV), which WTVI sought to provide directly.
The Federal Aviation Administration cleared the tower, from the county airport, though some on the county's airport commission feared the approval could jeopardize the airport's eligibility for federal funds.
The signal was also available on the cable system; subscribers to Florida Cablevision would not need a UHF converter to see WTVI.
On February 10, 1961, owner Dyer announced that the station would cease telecasting at the end of the day due to financial troubles.
In a statement, Dyer noted that he had spent $500,000—more than the projected $250,000—and wanted investors to help shoulder the burden.
Dyer sold the dark television station for $175,795 to Atlantic Broadcasting Company, which owned KFEQ-TV in St. Joseph, Missouri, and a radio station in Jefferson City in the same state, in mid-1961.
The sale price was less than the $300,000 in costs Dyer incurred building WTVI and mostly consisted of a debt to General Electric.
It missed an interest payment to Dyer in October, and in December, Atlantic told Dyer that it wanted to cancel its purchase of the business.
Later that month, Atlantic filed a formal complaint with the FCC, stating that competition from the cable system had placed a financial strain on WTVI.
The special temporary authority that Atlantic sought when the station went dark turned permanent when Atlantic conveyed the facility back to Dyer and surrendered the license.
Jesse D. Fine, the president of Atlantic, explained that if WTVI had operated for a year, it would have lost an estimated $80,000 to $100,000.
When WTVI closed for the second time, local leaders sensed an opportunity to provide a facility that did not exist in the Indian River area: an instructional television station.
The county school superintendent and an engineer from the Florida Educational Television Commission met with Dyer in March to survey the former WTVI facilities, finding them in excellent condition.
Arrangements had been worked out with Dyer and with GE, whose mortgage on station equipment continued in force, for potential purchase of the facility, as backers waited on Congress to pass an appropriations bill for educational television.
While officials from four counties attempted to figure out a way forward, the taxpayer revolt and cost disagreements with Dyer scuttled the plan.
On May 1, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education purchased all of the equipment used in operating WTVI in Fort Pierce, minus the building, to be moved to start an instructional television station in Charlotte, North Carolina; the facility cost $86,200.
In a statement, Dyer blamed the local press and the taxpayers' association for scuttling any possibility of channel 19 being reactivated as an educational station for the Fort Pierce area, though school officials contended he was still asking $120,000 instead of offering to donate it outright.
In 1965, Indian River Television, owned by Michael Beacom, applied to build a new television station on channel 19 in Fort Pierce.
Beacom had been a 10 percent owner of WTVI, but he was not active in its management because he was tending to problems that had arisen at another station he owned, WJPB-TV in Fairmont, West Virginia.
However, that summer, the FCC overhauled the UHF table of allocations nationwide in Docket 14229 and substituted channel 34 for 19 at Fort Pierce.
After acquiring the former WTVI building from Dyer for $50,000, Indian River's station—taking the call letters WTVX—signed on with a test pattern on March 24, 1966.
WTVX operated from the old WTVI studios until relocating to larger, more modern quarters in 1980; a church later occupied the facility.

She served as protège and lady-in-waiting to Queen Liliʻuokalani until she contracted leprosy and was exiled to the leper colony of Kalaupapa.
In her will, Princess Keʻelikōlani bequeathed Kapoli (who was at her bedside prior to her death) her house lot (known as Namauʻu to Kekūanāoʻa) on Queen Street, Honolulu and a piece of land called Kaʻala, near Joseph O. Carter's residence, for her lifetime.
After the 1844 death of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, Kapoli was also provided with monthly allowance of 40 dollars in her will.
She successfully petitioned the governmental Board of Health for her father Umi to accompany her to the colony as her kōkua (helper).
Through the intercession of Charles Reed Bishop, the government build the Bishop Home for her and other women and girls to reside away from the general population of patients.
In 1889, the Catholic sisters of the Third Order of Saint Francis: Mother Marianne Cope, Sisters Vincentia McCormick and Leopoldina Burns were charged with the care of the patients at Bishop Home.

The Nocilla Generation, which is sometimes called Afterpop, is a literary movement referring to a group of Spanish writers born between 1960 and 1976.
According to Fernández Porta, it is an aesthetic that responds to the social conditions created by the symbolic excesses of mass media, and that it is not something generational, national or specifically literary.
Literary characteristics of the movement include: fragmentation, interdisciplinarity, emphasis on the over-saturation of pop culture amongst the Spanish youth at the beginning of the 21st century, and the constrasting of so-called 'high culture' with that pop culture.
Authors included under the Nocilla Generation label include: Vicente Luis Mora, Jorge Carrión, Eloy Fernández Porta, Javier Fernández, Milo Krmpotic, Oscar Gual, Mario Cuenca Sandoval, Lolita Bosch, Javier Calvo, Doménico Chiappe, Gabi Martínez, Álvaro Colomer, Harkaitz Cano, Juan Francisco Ferré, Germán Sierra, Diego Doncel, Mercedes Cebrián, Robert Juan-Cantavella, Salvador Gutiérrez Solís, Manuel Vilas and Agustín Fernández Mallo.

Siva-Jothy was educated at University College London graduating with a BSc in 1981, he then did a PhD at the Unversity of Oxford graduating in 1985.
He moved to Nagoya University in Japan as a Royal Society & Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Fellow until 1989, when he moved back to the UK to work as a Agricultural and Food Research Council research associate at University College London.
In 1990 Siva-Jothy moved to the University of Sheffield to be a lecturer, where he has remained, progressing to Senior Lecturer and Reader, Professor in 2006 and was the Head of the Department of Plant and Amimal Sciences from 2012 to 2018.
Siva-Jothy looked at insect mating preference in damselflies and found, using infra red cameras, that females prefer males with a higher body temperatures, which could then lead to eggs being laid in more favourable warmer habitats.
He has extensively worked on bed bugs and found that female bed bugs prepare themselves for mating, protecting themselves from sexually transmitted infections by producing lysozyme, a bacteria killing enzyme and by boosting their immune system.
His team have also found that bed bugs will feed on human blood for 10 to 20 minutes, increasing their body weight by up to 200 percent.
With an international team he discovered that bed bug species have been around for at least 115 million years and surved the extinction of the dinosaurs.
With an experiment on insects and humans Siva-Jothy found that the hairs on human bodies can enable us to feel parasites on us and slow down their movement so that they take longer to find a feeding site.
Siva-Jothy's image of a Scarce swallowtail butterfly and a Polistine wasp on a Scabius flower won first place in the Community, Population and Macroecology category of the 2013 BioMed Central's Ecology Image Competition.
He went to Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio and was first an associate professor, then a full rofessor from 1950 to 1956.

Peter Fossett (June 6, 1815–January 1901) was an enslaved laborer at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's plantation, who after he attained his freedom in the mid-1800s, settled in Cincinnati where he established himself as a minister and caterer.
His wife, Sarah M. Fossett, was active in the church and Underground Railroad as well, but she was also noteworthy in her own right.
In 1860, she filed a suit after being denied passage on a streetcar, which resulted in the segregation of streetcars in the city for African-American women.
Slaves did not generally receive pay at Monticello, but as a manager of the blacksmith shop, Joseph received a percentage of the shop's profits.
Joseph, who moved to Ohio about 1840, and moved to Cincinnati about 1843, made trips to Virginia to see his family.
He worked to buy his family out of slavery, but Peter's owner, John Jones, would not sell him until the second time he escaped.
He held several jobs when he first arrived in Ohio, he worked as a waiter for a caterer and was a whitewasher.
Although Ohio was not a slave state, the Underground Railroad led many to Canada to be safer from capture and some stayed in Ohio in African-American communities.
Conductors risked their lives when they brought fugitive slaves into their homes and helped them to the next stop on the railroad.
He was ordained as a minister in 1870 and formed his own church, the construction of which was paid in large part by Fossett.
He was a pastor for 25 years of that church, which came to be called the First Baptist Church in Cumminsville, Ohio.
Abraham Evan Gwynne, the father of Alice Claypoole Vanderbilt (1845 – 1934), brought Sarah to Cincinnati, where she was introduced to wealthy elite members of Cincinnati society.
Like her husband, she was active in the community, including the First Baptist Church of Cumminsville, orphanages in Cincinnati, and assisting enslaved people on the Underground Railroad.
In 1860 she protested when she was not allowed to board a streetcar in 1860, and her efforts led to African-American women being allowed to ride Cincinnati's streetcars.
When a white conductor did not allow her to ride the streetcar, she sued the streetcar company and won a favorable ruling.
In 1900, believing that he was not going to live much longer, he traveled to Monticello with the help of friends, where he was allowed to stay as long as he wished.
Thomas P. O'Neill ( 1 November 1921 – 1 March 1996) was an Irish historian, noted for his biographies of James Fintan Lalor (1962) and Éamon de Valera (1970).
Sections relating to relief works were omitted, but O'Neill published these as journal articles, one of the few professional historians to study this aspect of the Irish famine at the time.
He is credited with pioneering use of archival material, with one criticism of the chapter being that he focused on the famine relief administrators and not the recipients.
As well as contributing this chapter, O'Neill was also involved in the overall formatting of the volume, and devised the questionnaire sent out by the Irish Folklore Commission.
It was from this questionnaire that Roger McHugh wrote up a chapter on the folk memories of the famine, and statistical maps were devised from the data which also appeared in the volume.
O'Neill was appointed assistant keeper of printed books at the National Library of Ireland (NLI) in 1947, leading to him developing an unparalleled knowledge of the manuscript material in the collections.
O'Neill could both speak and write in Irish, but was heavily assisted by Donncha Ó Céileachair in getting this book to a publishing standard.
Among the discoveries that O'Neill made was that Lalor had corresponded with Sir Robert Peel regarding his animosity towards the repeal movements and made proposals to quash it with land reform.
Due to his work on Lalor, O'Neill was approached to work on the authorised biography of Éamon de Valera following the death of the previous author, Frank Gallagher, in 1962.
He conducted long, regular interviews with de Valera, and lived in the Áras an Uachtaráin for a period to have direct and easy access to de Valera's private papers.
O'Neill would develop a rapport with de Valera and his family, leading to him remaining in contact with them for the rest of his life.
In 1968 and 1970, the biography was published in the Irish language in two volumes, with an t-Athair Pádraig Ó Fiannachta as co-author.
He was also heavily involved in the growth of extension lecturing outside the college from 1970, often lecturing to local history societies.
O'Neill believed that local historians were of great importance, as they would often find information unknown to their professional counterparts, and he treated these local historians with respect, giving over time to answer their queries.
Even after his retirement to Dublin in 1987, he remained in touch with those in involved in local journalism and the Galway Family History Project.
In 1984, he suggested that there should be a significant celebration of the 500th anniversary of Galway's first charter, having discovered the original document in the British Library in 1947.
He toured America on a number of occasions with the Galway mayor, Michael Leahy, and the city manager publicising the event.
The column was originally intended to finish in 1984, but was so popular that O'Neill continued to write it until his death.
Following his retirement and return to Dublin, O'Neill spent a great deal of time in the NLI and was active in a number of historical bodies such as the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, the Catholic Record Society of Ireland, and the Carlow Historical & Archaeological Society.
He had been conducting research into the Registry of Deeds, which never appeared as a written work, but he was awarded the medal of the Old Dublin Society for his 1983 lecture on the impact of the penal laws on Dublin property ownership.
Towards the end of his life, he expressed a wish to revisit and expand on his work on the famine, wanting to counter any revisionist narratives that may diminish the negative role of the English government in the events.
The 2019–20 Liga IV Constanța is the 52nd season of the Liga IV Constanța, the fourth tier of the Romanian football league system.
Michael Richard Edward Gough (23 September 1916 – 15 October 1973) was a British archaeologist and the third Director of the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara (1961-1968).
As Director of the BIAA Gough pioneered the archaeology of early Christian sites in Turkey in anticipation of changes in academic viewpoints which were to follow in the 1990s.
Professor Gough attended the Dragon School in Oxford before gaining a scholarship to Stonyhurst College where he concentrated on studying the Classics.
In 1936 he gained a Classical Exhibition to Peterhouse College, Cambridge where he went on to become a Scholar and Prizeman.
With the outbreak of World War II in 1939 Gough joined the Royal Artillery as a Gunner, seeing service in the Middle East and throughout the whole of the Italian Campaign including during the battles of Cassino and on the Sangro.
On being demobilised in September 1946 Gough returned to Stonyhurst College as Classics Master and in 1947 he returned to the University of Cambridge to take a Diploma in Classical Archaeology.
He was awarded a Scholarship by the recently founded British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara becoming the Institute's second Scholar and later becoming a Fellow.
He had a focus on the Byzantine period, with excavations at the church complex at Alahan Monastery (between 1952 and 1972 Gough directed nine seasons of excavation here) and at Dağ Pazarı.
Gough's involvement at Alahan was an important departure from the specialisms of his predecessors in prehistoric archaeology; from this period onwards the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara began to broaden its academic horizons.
His final excavation programme at Alahan Monastery in Turkey was completed in 1972 before his death but the report was not published until 1985 by his widow, Mary Gough.
Ruthy Cecilia Hebard (born April 28, 1998) is an American women's basketball player with the University of Oregon Ducks team in the Pac-12 Conference.
John Caldwell (July 4, 1849 – March 7, 1916) was a Republican member of the Michigan State House of Representatives from 1897 through 1900.
He was the fifth in the family of eight boys and one girl, seemingly breaking then the Irish tradition of the third 'born' son receiving the father's name since this name change was an afterthought.
The third and fourth sons died before they were 10 years old and do not show up on any census records.
Caldwell's parents, John Caldwell Sr and Jane (Thompson) Caldwell, immigrated from Ireland and arrived separately in the state of New York in the early part of the nineteenth century.
Caldwell came with his parents to Litchfield township in Hillsdale county in 1856 from upper New York state by way of the Erie Canal.
While his older brothers and his father were Civil War veterans, he was too young to enlist during this time period of 1861 - 1865.
When he was eighteen years old in the early part of 1868 he went to the woods of Tuscola County of the thumb area of Michigan for about two years in his first employment.
He was gainfully employed there for years as a land agent for George A. Mitchell and the Mitchell Brothers Company for timber development in Michigan and New Mexico.
Caldwell's grandfather (James Jr) immigrated from Ireland in 1817 from County Antrim, Ulster, with some of his ten children a year after his first wife Caroline (born 1778) died.
Caldwell's father died in Big Rapids of Mecosta County, Michigan, on Christmas eve in 1872 at the age of 67, although some biographies on Caldwell say his father died when he was 65 years old and on December 26, 1872.
She was able to get Civil War pension pay due to her eldest son (Caldwell's brother) being killed in the Civil War, as well as her husband (Caldwell's father) being in the Civil War.
Two years later he was reelected to the legislature Caldwell received 3,173 votes to 1,888 votes for Joseph Yarnell (Democratic People's Union silver certificate).
Caldwell took much interest in public matters and served Caldwell township as highway commissioner, township clerk, township treasurer, justice of the peace, township supervisor, and school board officer.
He was involved with the township's educational interests and at times filled the school offices, which advanced the educational interests of the community.
He built a house 2 blocks east of downtown Manton on Main Street, which still exists today some one hundred years later.
His daughter Leona and her husband took over the ownership of his homestead in Missaukee county which they continued to farm for many years.

His album and compilation recordings on HUSH records and Jealous Butcher records from 1997 to 1999 established the connection between the sound of Portland indie-folk and a broader Portland-based songwriter school.
In the early eighties at Camp B’nai Brith Perlman Jeff discovered musical theater in productions of Pippen and Guys and Dolls.
In 1987 Jeff landed an off-Broadway role as Eugene Morris Jerome in Brighton Beach Memoirs at the Studio Theatre in Lindenhurst.
Just after the New Year 1995 he drove across the country in a car with a hole in the floor to Portland, Oregon.
He played the open mic scene there, eventually establishing his Hot Cocoa night at Meow Meow where he met Ben Barnett and other Portland musicians.
His first full length came out on tape cassette on Jealous Butcher, Uneasy, and he made a name for himself in local publications.
With Less, a four-artist collaboration on HUSH records, he began working with both Rob Jones and Chad Crouch of those labels, putting out Slowness (1999), which led to out of town shows in Seattle, San Francisco, and Chico, Ca.
His band lineup has included Rachel Blumberg, Chris Funk, Adam Selzer, Molly Hardy, Tove Holmberg, Dave Depper, Ben Barnett, and Tofer Towe.
Col. Summers Park (2001) was the first to feature his rotating cast of friends and collaborators and it was well received.
Upon his return to New York Jeff released The Bane of Progress (2008) on HUSH and played live with Greg McMullen, Marla Hansen, Alec Mengee, Robin Ziari, and Andy Moon followed by a string of shows in New York City and a record release in Portland Oregon (sources).

Little Earth Trail is an approximately , multi-use bicycle path in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, that links several neighborhoods, parks, businesses, and trails in the Phillips community.
The trail begins at its northern end near the intersection of East Franklin Avenue and 16th Avenue South and eventually follows the west side of Hiawatha Avenue to the Midtown Greenway and Martin Olav Sabo Bridge.
At its northern end, Little Earth Trail traverses from the businesses and services on East Franklin Avenue, follows along the Hiawatha Avenue transit corridor to East Phillips Park, and connects to the Lake Street / Midtown area's trail and transit network.
At East Phillips Park, from Little Earth Trail, cyclists and pedestrians can cross over the Hiawatha Avenue transit corridor eastward on a non-vehicular traffic bridge, and connect to East 24th Street and the Hiawatha LRT Trail.
Little Earth Trail also connects seamlessly to the Midtown Greenway trail, and the Martin Olav Sabo Bridge offers trail users another opportunity to cross the Hiawatha Avenue transit corridor eastward.
As part the Midtown Minneapolis trail system, Little Earth Trail serves as an important conduit for people to move through neighborhoods and reach community and regional destinations.
Originally built in the 1970s, and home to nearly 1,000 residents, Little Earth is a 9.4 acre, 212-unit housing complex at approximately East 24th Street and Cedar Avenue.

The Ocean Explorers Grand Slam was defined by Guinness World Records adjudicators as completing open-water crossings on all five oceans using human-powered vessels.
Fiann achieved the title with his completed crossings on the following oceans: Atlantic (date of completion: 2011), Indian (2014), Pacific (2016), Arctic (2017), and Southern (2019).
The Legislative Council consisted of six official members appointed by the High Commissioner and twelve elected members, three of which were Muslims and nine of which were non-Muslims.
Due to the high levels of illiteracy, voting was not secret, with voters required to tell the polling officers their candidates of choice, often in front of agents of the candidates.
However, of the estimated 40,000 taxpayers in the territory at the time of the elections, only those that had been able to pay their taxes on time were able to register to vote.
In Limassol–Paphos there were only non-Muslim three candidates; incumbent MLC Aristotle Paleologos, former MLC (1886–1889) Socrates Fragoudis, and the lawyer Ioannis Kyriakidis.
The Nicosia–Kyrenia constituency also only had three non-Muslim candidates; incumbent MLCs Paschalis Constantinides and Kyrillos Papadopoulos, and Yerasimo Hadji Diako, the Abbot of Kykkos Monastery.
The Larnaca–Famagusta constituency was the only one to have a contested vote, with seven candidates running; incumbent MLCs Achillea Liasides and Richardos Matei and Nikolaos Rossos, Loukas Paisiou (a teacher), Georgios Siakallis (a landowner and lawyer), Ioannis Vontitsianos (a farmer) and Arthur Young, the Commissioner of Famagusta.
Liasides was the incumbent MLC for Nicosia–Kyrenia, but had switched constituency to allow Yerasimo Hadji Diako to be elected unopposed, having been promised the full support of the church in his re-election campaign.
As a British official, Young's candidacy was controversial, with Greek Cypriot politicians convinced it was a ploy by the government to reduce Greek representation in the Council, whilst Greek language newspapers called for voters not to vote for him.
Young's British superiors were also unhappy with his decision to run, with High Commissioner Henry Ernest Gascoyne Bulwer writing to Secretary of State for the Colonies Lord Knutsford, stating that he had strong reservations about Young being a candidate as he suspected Young would neglect his official duties and would not be sufficiently independent of government when serving in the Council.
Following the elections, Young submitted an appeal to the Supreme Court, calling for the election of Liasides and Siakallis to be overturned.
Young claimed that Kyrillos Papadopoulos (the Metropolitan of Kyrenia) and the Archimandrite Philotheus had persuaded their followers not to vote for him through religious threats, and had provided voters with transport on polling day.
The election of Liasides and Siakallis was annulled, and a by-election for the two vacant seats scheduled for 11 February 1892.
There were no further changes in the non-Muslim membership until the resignation of Limassol–Paphos representatives Aristotle Paleologos for health reasons in January 1896.
Around the same time, one of the other Limassol–Paphos MLCs, Ioannis Kyriakides resigned, resulting in a by-election on 3 February in which Georgios Pavlidis was returned unopposed.
Turon Shire was abolished on 1 October 1977 and along with the City of Bathurst and Abercrombie Shire was divided into a reconstituted City of Bathurst and a new Evans Shire.
Amber Jelena Hikes is an American civil rights activist and community organizer, who currently serves as the Chief Equity & Inclusion Officer for the American Civil Liberties Union.
Prior to her work for ACLU, Hikes was most well-known for her tenure as Executive Director of the City of Philadelphia's Office of LGBT Affairs, where she led the More Pride More Color campaign, which developed a version of the Rainbow Flag with black and brown stripes to represent people of color.
Hikes plays 5 musical instruments and was a member of her high school marching band, playing in the Sydney 2000 Olympic Band.
She later moved to Philadelphia to attend the University of Pennsylvania, where she received her Masters of Social Work in 2008.
Hikes began her activist career as an education access advocate, serving for 5 years as the local program director for Upward Bound at the University of Pennsylvania.
After incidents in the news highlighted issues of racism within the city's LGBT community, especially in the city's Gayborhood area, Hikes entered city government with a goal of focusing on the marginalized members within the LGBT community.
Hikes' tenure saw her rise to international prominence with the introduction of a pride flag with brown and black stripes, intended to symbolize the struggle of people of color in the LGBT movement.
The flag was officially flown over Philadelphia City Hall for LGBT Pride Month in June 2017, just months into her position, and sparked major public attention and media coverage, both positive and negative.
The flag subsequently gained popularity a symbol of representation for LGBT people of color, including being worn by actress Lena Waithe at the Met Gala and flown at UK Black Pride 2019 in London.
During the annual event held in June, the Philadelphia mayor and city government officials, joined by major city LGBT organizations, give short addresses on issues of concern to the LGBT community.
In March 2019, the city adopted a new directive on law enforcement interaction with transgender and non-binary people, which required that the city respect a person's chosen name and pronouns in records, as well as providing treatment appropriate to their gender identity in situations such as personal searches and jail housing.
She pledged to focus on programs related to workplace culture, professional development, and more equitable employment policies, to empower people from traditionally marginalized communities to enter the organization's leadership.

Kiser Lake Wetlands State Nature Preserve, or simply Kiser Lake Wetlands, is a nature reserve located in Johnson Township, Champaign County, Ohio, United States.
The rolling wooded hills and moraines in the region formed where the glacier stopped, creating a ridge along the ice front.
There are mounds of sand and gravel deposits, called kame, from water melting along the glaciers' edge along the southeastern end of what is now Kiser Lake.
The Kiser Lake Wetlands were formed when blocks of ice broke away from the glacier and became covered by the kame.
As the climate warmed, the ice melted and left depressions in the land filled with the kame deposits which became fen and wet meadow habitats.
The wetlands, and Mosquito Creek itself, are fed by natural springs found along the edge of the moraine, as well as rainwater runoff and the natural bowl shape of the area.
Although a known hunting area for the native people, the area was nothing more than a low swampy bog until a dam was built across Mosquito Creek in 1840 to power a mill.
In 1932, the land (by then known as Mosquito Lake Bog or Swamp) was donated by John W. Kiser to the state to rebuild the original lake for recreational purposes.
When Kiser Lake State Park was established for recreational purposes, the ODNR (at the time called the Division of Conservation and Natural Resources) reserved part of the land as a State Nature Preserve.
This section features a boardwalk built along part of Mosquito Creek and through the native prairie wetlands, meadows, and woods to the base of the moraine.
Another trail that is part of Kiser Lake State Park starts at the end of the wetlands trail and climbs to the top of the moraine.
Among a broad variety of native plants and wildflowers, unique species including shrubby cinquefoil, Kalm's lobelia, Parnassia, smaller fringed gentian, big bluestem, queen-of-the-prairie, Ohio goldenrod, and poison sumac are found here.
The 1979 Transamerica Open, also known as the Pacific Coast Championships, was a men's tennis tournament played on indoor carpet courts at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, California in the United States.

In the NCAA Oklahoma City Regional, the Huskies also advanced to the final, forcing a decisive game, before falling to host Oklahoma State.
Though the Twin-60 was one of many 1920s two-seaters its design was far from typical, with novel features driven by the aims of low running costs, easy maintenance, safety and the ability to use very basic landing grounds.
They also improved the forward view and kept the occupants out of the engine exhaust and oil emissions; as pushers they were over the rear of the wing and closer to the aircraft's centre of gravity.
It had externally connected, long span, broad chord ailerons on upper and lower wings to ensure good control at low landing speeds.
The two uncowled, air cooled, , horizontally opposed twin cylinder Bristol Cherub III engines were mounted in frames onto the inner interplane struts.
Because of the stagger their propellers were behind the trailing edges of the upper wing but just above the lower one.
There were no fuel pumps as each engine was gravity fed from its own upper wing tank, each holding enough fuel for eight hours of flight.
There were two open cockpits in tandem with a port side, lockable door for access to the rear seat under the upper wing.
The tailplane also carried small endplate fins with much larger, curved, balanced rudders, placed directly in the slipstream of the engines to enhance low speed rudder authority.
The Twin-60 had a conventional, fixed undercarriage with the mainwheels on a single axle mounted on short, shock-absorbing legs from the lower fuselage longerons ahead of the wings and with trailing drag struts.
Since the Twin 60 did not need the drag of a tailskid to slow it down on landing, the skid was replaced by a large, castering tailwheel on a short, rubber disc-damped leg beyond the extreme fuselage, simplifying ground handling.
Without a passenger, it took off on its maiden flight after covering in three seconds and landed within only twice its length.
By the year end it had been flown by several pilots and its good handling characteristics with twin and single engines running established.

Mount St Mary Campus of the Australian Catholic University is a heritage-listed former mansion, college and primary school and now university campus at 25A Barker Road, Strathfield, Municipality of Strathfield, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
It is also known as ACU, Mount St Mary Campus, Mt St Mary College, Mount Royal villa, Edmund Rice Building and Barron Chapel.
Land clearing removed the habitats of native animals and thus would have eliminated food sources for the Wangal people as well as desecrating sacred sites.
Although Wangal people were separated from their traditional relationship with the land, many Aboriginal people continue to live in the Strathfield locality.
There are few known remnants of traditional occupation such as campsites, axe grinding grooves and scarred trees in the Strathfield district.
Phillip built a brick hut for him on the present site of the Sydney Opera House and that peninsular is named after him (Bennelong Point).
The Mount St Mary ACU campus lies on part of a grant made to the Chaplain of St. James Church in 1823; however that grant soon reverted to the Crown.
In 1841, the campus was part of a grant made to Joseph Hyde Potts (1793-1865), then the Secretary of the Bank of New South Wales.
Before the 1860s, settlement in the Strathfield area was clustered around inns and other service industries scattered along Parramatta Road and Liverpool Road and near the Homebush Racecourse.
After 1877 when Redmyre railway station opened (it was renamed Strathfield railway station in 1900), the distance between Strathfield and the city was reduced to an easy 28 minutes journey although the relative expense of the service at this time helped maintain the social exclusiveness of the area.
This residence, called Mount Royal, was designed by architect Harry Chambers Kent for John Hinchcliff using finance provided by Hinchcliff's wife, Laura Ann.
According to a former archivist of the Christian Brothers who researched the history of Mount Royal, the ballroom and billiard room were added to the original building in 1888.
He appears to have been among those city wool merchants who experienced financial difficulties as a result of the severe financial depression of the 1890s.
Following Hinchcliff's death, Mount Royal was leased to schoolmaster, W. Stewart Page, who temporarily opened a college on the site in 1896, one of a number of private colleges in the area.
Reid's occupation of Mount Royal was brief, lasting only from March 1903 until August 1904 when he became Prime Minister and moved to Melbourne.
The Brothers returned to Australia in 1868 and eventually Sydney where they established community houses and schools at Balmain (1887), Lewisham (1891) and Rozelle (1892).
The order was one of many invited by Archbishop Moran into New South Wales at this time, primarily to support the Catholic education system after the withdrawal of state funding.
The Christian Brothers' Provincial, Brother Jerome Barron (1858-1949), had hesitated about purchasing a mansion as grand as Mount Royal, but was impressed by the size of the estate and its reasonable price compared with similar inner city properties.
The purchase of Mount Royal was part of a wider pattern that saw numerous large Victorian period mansions bought by religious orders or charities following the economic depression of the 1890s.
Contemporary examples in Strathfield include the purchases of Shubra Hall by the Presbyterian Ladies College in 1889 and Brundah by the Methodist Church in 1915, both to establish educational institutions.
Cardinal Moran blessed the Mount St Mary Training College and Novitiate on 1 December 1908 in the presence of a large gathering.
At the opening, Brother Barron noted that the order in Australia had grown to 45 educational establishments and their teaching force had grown from three brothers to over 200 brothers.
Training at Mount St Mary began in December 1908 when the novices and scholastics (brothers undergoing teacher training) were transferred from Lewisham.
Sheerin & Hennessey also designed a chapel in the Federation Gothic style that was constructed at the northern end of the new wing.
These works involved the raising of the ballroom roof to provide a first floor dormitory and a first floor extension to the billiard room on the western side of the villa.
Sometime during the 1930s an additional wing was constructed on the western side of Mount Royal, at its southern most end.
In 1917 and 1918 respectively, the Christian Brothers purchased adjoining villa estates to the northeast of Mount Royal, known as Ovalau (for £3,250) and Ardross (for £2,000), thereby expanding the boundaries of the site to .
Ovalau was a grand Victorian Italianate Style mansion that had been built for Robert Phillips, a South Sea planter, in 1888.
In 1922, Ovalau, since renamed St. Enda's, became a High School known as the Juniorate, providing for boys who had a possible interest in joining the Order.
In 1925, an agreement was reached with Strathfield Municipal Council to incorporate a section of Albert Road into the college campus in exchange for land that enabled Council to connect Albert and Barker Roads.
With the opening of the Juniorate in the 1920s, the small Federation Gothic style chapel proved too small and in 1924 planning began for a new chapel that could accommodate 250 students and staff.
When a new classroom and dormitory building was required to house the growing Juniorate, Hennessey & Hennessy were commissioned to designed a building to complement their design for the Barron Chapel.
This building, now known as the Mullens Building, but originally known simply as the Juniorate, initially provided four classrooms on the ground floor, a dormitory, bathroom, Director's Office and several bedrooms on the first floor.
In 1933 the Christian Brothers of Gibraltar sent to Mount St Mary's a replica of the venerated crucifix in the town of Limpias, Spain to mark the 1,900th anniversary of Christ's crucifixion.
In 1959 a new residential block called the Scholasticate or Seniorate was designed by Hennessy Hennessy & Co to provide accommodation for 50 scholastics as well as space for an additional lecture room and library.
Also during the 1950s a substantial addition to the original Mount Royal stable building was constructed, which continued to be an important service building carrying out ancillary functions..
From 1961 the Hennessy Hennessy & Co designed St Edmunds Building was constructed on the site of the demolished Ovalau villa to provide for a new hall, science rooms, library, common room and oratory.
The introduction of lay students - who were not in training for the priesthood - into the previously exclusive domain of the Brothers had come about for a number of reasons including a decline in vocations leading to a need for lay teachers to staff Catholic schools.
The establishment of the Higher Education Board of New South Wales and changes to funding structures presented new challenges to the college.
Ultimately, the College amalgamated with the Polding College, itself an amalgamation of several teaching colleges, to form the Catholic College of Education, Sydney, in 1982..
As a result of increased enrolments and the transfer of staff to the campus, the residential function was slowly reduced until by 1990 there were no more boarding students.
The three-year diploma courses offered by the teaching colleges became a Bachelor of Education of four years, with further studies leading to a Masters degree.
In 1989, for example, Geoffrey Twibill & Associates designed alterations to the Scolasticate, and the building was renamed the Brother Stewart Building.
As the colleges of advanced education expanded and offered more senior study programmes, the boundaries between the State's universities and colleges blurred.
In 1988, the Principal together with the Council of the Catholic College of Education decided to develop Mount St Mary College to meet the requirements for consideration as a university.
It was finally resolved that the Catholic colleges should combine to seek university status as a single entity, a process that would require the resolution of long-standing local interests and interstate rivalries.
Three years later, in January 1991, the Australian Catholic University opened following the amalgamation of four Catholic tertiary institutions: the Catholic College of Education Sydney in New South Wales, the Institute of Catholic Education in Victoria, McAuley College of Queensland, and Signadou College of Education in the Australian Capital Territory.
Each of these institutions has their own histories of education and associations with a variety of religious orders including the Christian Brothers, the Dominican Sisters, the Sisters of Charity, the De La Salle Brothers, the Marist Brothers and the Sisters of St Joseph.
Histories of amalgamations, relocations and transfers etc mean that more than twenty entities contributed to the creation of the Australian Catholic University.
On 3 September, a final mass was celebrated in the Gothic chapel and on 14 September, the last Brothers left Mount St Mary.
The fine Romanesque chapel is known as the Barron Chapel after the great Jerome Barron while the altar commemorates Brother Ambrose Treacy, the founder of the Australasian province.
Then there are buildings or lecture rooms named after others such as the Murray Hall, the Mullen Building, the Marwell Building, the McGlade, Duffy and Hanrahan lecture rooms, while Davy is associated with the Dan Stewart Library.
On 7 January, 1993 responsibility for the operation of Mount St Mary's campus was officially transferred from the Christian Brothers to the Diocese of Sydney, who hold the property in trust on behalf of the Australian Catholic University.
Major works undertaken since 1993 include: a substantial addition to the Seniorate, now the Brother Stewart Library (architect: Twibill Quinn O'Hanlon, 1994); a substantial addition to the Mullens Building, comprising the Gleeson Auditorium and Lecture Rooms; and the construction of the Biomechanics Building.
Minor works include the conversion of the former stables into an Arts Centre in 1997, the conversion of the original handball courts into storage (1997), new carparking and the creation of what is now the main entrance off Barker Road.
H.C. Kent (1852-1938), designer of Mount Royal in 1887, was born in Devonshire, England and migrated to Australia with his family as an infant.
After studying at Camden College, where his father was headmaster, he undertook a Master of Arts degree at the University of Sydney in 1874.
He took private drawing lessons with Thomas Sapsford, who became the Architect and Building Surveyor of the Sydney City in the 1880s.
Many future prominent architects were articled to Kent including William Hardy Wilson, S. A. Neave and H. H. Massie in 1911.
In Strathfield, his work included Mount Royal (1887), the Dill Dill McKay Institute for Blind Women in (1891), Strathfield Town Hall (1923) and alterations (1913 and 1921-23).
Kent also designed Inglenook at 17 Margaret Street for merchant George Bird in 1893 and Swanton in Victoria Street for grazier Stanley Vickery.
John Hennessy was a prominent architect who designed the Frazer fountain in Hyde Park (1881), the Centennial Hall extensions to the Sydney Town Hall (1883), the Hordern Brothers' Drapery Store (1886) and City Tatterstall's Club in Pitt Street (1892).
However, Hennessy's most enduring works are the many Catholic buildings he designed with partnership with Joseph Sheerin (1884-1912) and with his son at Hennessy Hennessy & Co (1912-23).
Apart from his work for the Christian Brothers on this campus, he designed the 1894 Santa Sabina building at Strathfield, St Patrick's College at Manly, St Joseph's College at Hunter's Hill and St Vincent's College at Potts Point (1886).
Hennessy himself lived nearby in the suburb of Burwood for forty years, serving as an alderman (1890-1895) and mayor of Burwood (1892-93).
The Australian Catholic University Strathfield Campus is comparable with the main campus of the University of Sydney for the effect of its grand nineteenth century building interspersed with substantial twentieth century buildings framed by high quality landscaping.
The University of Sydney differs because it is much larger, it was purpose-built as an educational institution, it dates from an earlier period (1850s), and it was always a secular educational establishment, albeit associated with religious colleges adjacent to the campus such as St Johns and St Pauls.
Catholic Orders did sometimes purchase large, formerly private mansion estates often in the late nineteenth century as these buildings became less desirable as private residences.
An example of a site nearby is the Santa Sabina Convent located nearby on The Boulevard, which has been occupied by the Dominican Sisters since 1894.
Australian Catholic University Strathfield Campus contains two especially fine and substantially intact examples of the Interwar Romanesque Style in the Barron Chapel and the Mullens Building.
Comparable examples of the Interwar Romanesque style include: St Joseph's church in Junee attributed to Albert Edmund Bates, 1929, and St Raphael's Catholic church, Parkside, Adelaide, 1916.
Australian Catholic University Strathfield Campus demonstrates the progression of the work of one architectural practice, Sheerin & Hennessy, later Hennessey & Henessey, from the Federation period through to the mid-1960s.
Comparable sites that showcase the design work of one architectural firm over a long period include the Maitland Showground, in which a numerous buildings were designed by successive generations of the Pender architectural firm.
The Mount St Mary Australian Catholic University (ACU) Strathfield campus is located in the inner western suburbs of Sydney, 14km from the city centre, within the Municipality of Strathfield Council.
It is complemented by a variety of twentieth century buildings in a carefully landscaped setting around a main axis and includes several courtyards, playing fields, roads and parking areas.
The heritage listing is focused on the historic core of buildings and spaces, about one third of the main lot on which most of the campus is located (Part Lot 11 DP 869042, 179 Albert Road).
Now used for administration, catering and functions, the original part of this building at the southern end is the mansion designed by Harry Chambers Kent for wool merchant John Hinchcliff in 1887.
Characteristics of this style apparent in the building include: asymmetrical massing, prominent tower employing classical motifs, bracketed eaves, rounded arches, faceted bay, polychromatic brickwork and stucco wall finishes.
It is regarded by some as the first example of the style to be wholly designed by an Australian born architect.
In 1908-12 after the villa was acquired by the Christian Brothers and with substantial alterations and additions to the north designed by Sheerin & Hennessy, including a fine Gothic chapel, the building became known as Mount St Mary.
It is described in the LEP listing as 'probably the finest of Strathfield's Victorian mansions to survive to the present day' (LEP listing for ACU, 2005, 'Description').
The main rooms of the original villa generally demonstrate a high degree of integrity with regard to plan and finishes, especially the entrance hall and stair.
The original drawing room on the eastern side of the ground floor retains the original white marble columns visible in early photographs.
While of only modest integrity, the eastern elevation makes an important aesthetic contribution to the main courtyard that it helps define.
It is constructed of two-tone face brick with steeply pitched, slate clad roofs and stone-coloured terracotta detailing.It is entered on the south side, through a large sandstone framed arch.
The top of the arch is filled with a mosaic design, above this is a row of small arches and then a large rose window.
On the southeast corner of the chapel is a four storey tower with arched openings of different sizes marking the floors.
In 1970, internal alterations were made to provide for changes in liturgy, including alterations to the marble altar and the construction of a new tabernacle stand.
The Barron Memorial Chapel is considered to have a high level of integrity and is still in its original function as a place of worship.
It is also a two story building in two-tone face brick with steeply pitched, slate clad roofs and stone-coloured terracotta detailing.
The side walls are divided into eight bays which feature multi- pane double hung windows (LEP listing for ACU, 2005, 'Description').
Both brick arcades appear designed to match the Romanesque style of the Barron Chapel and the Mullens Building and are constructed of two-tone face brickwork.
The St Edmunds Building (formerly called the New Junoriate, built on the site of the Victorian villa Ovalau, later known as St Endra's which was demolished ): This Modern Movement brick building with multiple wings was designed by Sheerin & Hennessy in several stages.
It was originally opened on 22 July 1962 as the New Juniorate and designed to provide a new hall, science rooms, library, common room and oratory for up to 98 boys in training after the Mullens Building was considered too small for this purpose.
The west wing is included in the heritage precinct and has three storeys with a rendered arcade at the ground floor and brick walls with square window openings above.
The south and east wings of this building are two storeys (the south and east wings are largely excluded from the heritage listing).
It is a two storey U-shaped building (with the U now infilled) with walls of painted brick and a steeply pitched corrugated iron roof.
The original section of the building has been divided into rooms of varying sizes that do not reflect the layout of the original stables.
The area comprises lawns with intersecting brick paths and randomly spaced, mature Canary Island Date Palms, some set in raised circular brick walled garden beds.
One north-facing grassed courtyard is formed between the Barron Chapel and the Mullens Building with the straight the brick arcade at the south and the Limpias Crucifix at the north, beneath a large fig tree.A second north-facing grassed courtyard is formed between the Barron Chapel and the Brother Stewart Library, with the rear of the Edmund Rice Building to the south.
The gates are symmetrical, comprising a central set of two wrought iron carriage gates and matching pedestrian gates on either side, all hung from rendered masonry piers.
The most significant view corridor is along the axis of the roadway flanked by trees leading from Albert Road towards the Edmund Rice Building.
Two distinct - and surviving - plantings can be readily associated with the Christian Brothers period of occupation: the cypress pines planted along the Barker Road boundary and the Canary Island date palms found around the site.
at the northern end of the courtyard between Barron Memorial Chapel and the Mullen Building is a visually significant planting within the courtyard.
The crucifix is a copy of a venerated statue in the Spanish town of Limpias which was sent to Mount St Mary's by the Christian Brothers of Gibraltar in 1933 to mark the 1,900th anniversary of Christ's crucifixion.
As at 20 August 2015, the Australian Catholic University Strathfield Campus is of state significance for its historical, associational, social, research and rarity values as part of a state-wide pattern of Catholic education since the early twentieth century.
Mount St Mary Campus of the Australian Catholic University was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 15 April 2016 having satisfied the following criteria.
The Australian Catholic University Strathfield Campus is of state historical significance as part of a state-wide pattern of Catholic education since the early twentieth century - first for Christian Brothers, later for lay teachers within the Catholic education system and more recently as a campus for the Australian Catholic University.
It is also historically significant as the headquarters for Christian Brothers in Australia and New Zealand throughout most of the twentieth century.
Many of the major elements have significance for their ability to demonstrate some continuity of use by the Christian Brothers and/or the Catholic Church.
The site also has historic significance as part of the pattern of Victorian villa estates that characterised this part of suburban Sydney in the late nineteenth century.
The surviving fabric of the villa Mount Royal within the Edmund Rice Building represents a distinct period when such owners and occupiers were prominent in municipal affairs.
Mount Royal, although altered, is among the finest of the Victorian period mansions to survive in the Strathfield area and one of few still associated with its original outbuildings, landscaped gardens and gates.
The place has a strong or special association with a person, or group of persons, of importance of cultural or natural history of New South Wales's history.
The Australian Catholic University Strathfield Campus has state level significance for its associations with the Christian Brothers which lasted from 1907 to 1992.
During this period, the site was the headquarters for the order in Australia and New Zealand (until 1953), and represents a range of the brothers' activities, most significantly the training of teachers and of boys with an interest in joining the order.
The Brothers' association is manifest in the historical record, in whole or parts of buildings and in individual pieces of fabric, for example, the windows of the Barron Memorial Chapel.
Some buildings have been named to commemorate particular Brothers, for example, the Barron Chapel named after Brother Jerome Barron, Provincial of the Christian Brothers in 1907.
The Australian Catholic University Strathfield Campus has state significant associations with the architect Harry Chamber Kent (who designed Mount Royal in the 188s) and John Hennessy's architectural offices, which produced numerous design for the Christian Brothers here over many decades.
The campus is also of state significance because the Mount Royal villa was briefly (1903-4) the home of Sir George Reid, Premier of NSW 1894-1899 and Prime Minister of Australia in 1904, however his occupation is not demonstrated by any remaining physical fabric.
The campus also has local associational significance with the owners of the Victorian estates upon which it is built, especially John Hinchcliff (the original client for Mount Royal, wool-broker and mayor)..
The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales.
The Australian Catholic University Strathfield Campus is of state aesthetic significance for the high quality architectural design of its key elements and for its landscaping and vistas including the avenue of Canary Island Date Palm trees.
The fine finishes of the villa, such as the cast iron lace, encaustic tiling and stained glass, exemplify Victorian industry and the aspirations and way of life of the wealthy at that time.
The place has aesthetic significance for its collection of architectural designs by a single architectural firm over more than half a century, Sheerin & Hennessy (later Hennessy, Hennessy & Co).
There is a high degree of consistency, integrity and quality in both the architecture and landscape design across most of the site.
Principal view corridors are as approached up Albert Road, along Barker Street from the east and from directly outside the main entrance on Barker Road.
The place has a strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group in New South Wales for social, cultural or spiritual reasons.
The Australian Catholic University Strathfield Campus is of state social significance to those thousands of people who have lived and/ or learned here, a crucial site within a state-wide pattern of Catholic education - first for the Christian Brothers, later for lay teachers within the Catholic education system and most recently as a campus for the Australian Catholic University.
The site also has local significance under this criterion for people in the Strathfield locality such as members of the Strathfield Historical Society who have long maintained an interest in the place and included it in a variety of publications and guides.
The place has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.
The Australian Catholic University Strathfield Campus is of state research significance because the place provides insights into the activities of the Christian Brothers there including evidence of changes in function (residential to training college to university) and liturgical practice between 1907 and 1993.
The campus also has research potential for studying stylistic change in the design output of a single architectural firmbetween 1908 and the 1960s.
While there are few remains of the villa Ovalau under the St Edmunds building, the site of Ardross near Barker Road may have archaeological potential.
The Australian Catholic University Strathfield Campus is of state significance for its rarity as the previous headquarters and training ground for the Catholic order the Christian Brothers, and for retaining evidence of their activities and interests including buildings, plantings, recreational facilities, chapels and statuary.
The place is also rare because it demonstrates the evolving high quality design work from a single architectural practice over many decades during the mid twentieth century, Sheerin & Hennessy / Hennessy, Hennessy & Co.
The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales.
The Australian Catholic University Strathfield Campus is representative of many institutional sites across New South Wales which demonstrates long associations with the Catholic Church.
Many structures from the Christian Brothers' period survive with sufficient integrity that they are capable of demonstrating much of the Brothers' way of life and philosophy.
The campus is also of state representative significance as an exemplar of a widespread adaptive re-use pattern where a privately owned, late-nineteenth century 'gentleman's villa' within landscaped grounds becomes the core element of an educational institution.
Plan Martha, or el Plan Marta (also known as Martha’s Plan, and as Operación Marta) was an informal agreement, signed in 1957, between the Spanish and Australian Governments, designed to bring single, Spanish, Catholic women to Australia as part of Australia's numerous post-World War II immigration intiatives.
The 2019 College Hockey America Women's Ice Hockey Tournament was played between March 6 and March 8, 2019, at the LECOM Harborcenter in Buffalo, New York.
Syracuse won their 1st tournament and earned College Hockey America's automatic bid into the 2019 NCAA Division I Women's Ice Hockey Tournament.
On the first day of the Tournament, the top two seeds get a bye, while the #3 seed plays the #6 seed, and the #4 seed plays the #5 seed in the Quarterfinal round.
On the second day, the Semifinal games feature the #1 seed against the lowest remaining seed, while the #2 seed plays the highest remaining seed.
On 27 October 2019, he was appointed by Prime Minister Sophie Wilmès as the Minister of Budget and Public Service and Minister for Science Policy.
Isaiah Todd (born October 17, 2001) is an American basketball player who attends Word of God Christian Academy in Raleigh, North Carolina.
A five-star recruit and one of the best power forwards in the 2020 class, he has committed to play college basketball for Michigan.
At that age, he met his first coach, Derrick Wilson, and began playing on recreational teams and on the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) circuit.
As a sophomore, Todd averaged 18.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, shooting 39 percent from three-point range, to help John Marshall win the Class 3 state championship.
Todd led the team, which had been coming off two losing seasons, to a 21–12 record while averaging 28 points and 15 rebounds per game.
Todd transferred to another private Christian school in Raleigh, Word of God Christian Academy, for his final high school season, playing under Byron Williams.
Entering his sophomore season at John Marshall, Todd was ranked as the number one recruit in the 2020 class by ESPN.
On October 17, 2019, he committed to play college basketball for Michigan over offers from Kansas, Kentucky and North Carolina, among others.
Dealers become notified of cars that suit their requirements once they become available, and allows them to bid on the vehicles.
The company raised £2.75 million at seed level funding, with investors including LocalGlobe, a seed stage venture firm founded by Robin Klein and Marchmont Ventures (founded by Cheapflights CEO Hugo Burge), as well as Zoopla-founder Alex Chesterman.
Motorway raised a further £11 million in Series A funding in 2019, with investors again led by Marchmont Ventures and LocalGlobe.
In January 2018, the company released a report in diesel prices, showing the value of diesel vehicles had declined by 5% in 2017, compared to a 10% price increase in petrol car prices.
A new study in 2019 found that used diesel cars had declined in value by 10.3% over the last two years.
The research showed that the price consumers were offered online was higher than the amount they actually received, with the average drop across all companies surveyed being 6%.
The church was designed by the priest of the Piarist Order, Benedetto Margariti da Manduria, and built between 1734 and 1745.
John Donald Wilson (June 5, 1904 - January 26, 1984) was a radio and film writer, producer, and voice actor, born in Kansas City, Missouri.
When Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) took over the helms of governmental affairs in August 2018, the price of the wheat flour was 50 PKR per kilogram (KG).
The crisis came to surface with its full-fledged intensity around mid-January 2020 when the Flour Mills Association (FMA) raised the wheat flour price by 6 PKR per KG hitting a total of around 70 PKR per KG.
Hiking up the price, the FMA complained that they did not receive any subsidy from the government while in addition to the price of raw commodity, the gas and electric prices were hiked up as well thus they did not have any other option but to bump up the flour prices.
According to Jehangir Tareen who is affiliated with the government of PTI, the crisis started in November 2019 and the federal government furnished Pakistan Agriculture Storage and Services Cooperation (Passco) with 400,000 tonnes of wheat to counter the crisis.
Ricardo Catalá Salgado Junior (born 28 April 1982), known as Ricardo Catalá, is a Brazilian football manager, currently in charge of Mirassol.
On 11 October 2017, he was appointed as manager for the ensuing campaign, but was sacked the following 3 September after a run of poor results.
On 6 November, after reaching the semifinals of the year's Copa Paulista (the club's best-ever position in the tournament), he renewed his contract for a further year.
George Cony was an English merchant who defied Oliver Cromwell's authority to institute taxes without parliamentary approval by refusing to pay them, in a celebrated case of civil disobedience and tax resistance.
As the parliament had not voted a budget before its dissolution, Cromwell decided in March 1654 to order taxes on his own authority, contrary to established law which had put the authority to levy taxes solely in the hands of parliament.
Cony was fined for his refusal by the customs commissioner on November 16, and upon refusing also to pay the £500 fine, was imprisoned on December 12.
They abandoned their client's defense and expressed their contrition in a petition of May 25 in order to secure release, whereupon Cony was forced to represent himself.
The chief justice who tried the case, Henry Rolle, was evidently sympathetic to Cony's arguments, but unwilling to cross Cromwell's power.
He had the case delayed to a future term on the pretense of there having been an improperly formatted brief, and on June 7 he resigned his position.
In England there is great expectation what wilbe comme of Conyes busines; it is put off till the next terme, and mens eyes are attent upon it, as more concerned then at any thinge which happened these many yeares.
Under the succeeding judge, John Glynne, Cory withdrew his case under pressure, without a formal decision having been issued about his arguments.
In 2012 Leon Wu, a transgender man, developed the idea for a company which specialized in formal wear designed for butch lesbians and trans men, and in 2013 Wu founded Sharpe Suiting.
That same year, Sharpe Suiting designed a custom suit for Claudetteia Love, then-seventeen, after she successfully fought her school's policy against allowing women to wear suits to prom.
The company experienced significant growth in the first few years of its existence, and its customer base includes members of the LGBT community as well as allies.
Sharpe Suiting has been modeled at queer fashion shows such as Queer Fashion Week in Oakland, California and Dapper Q's 6th Annual runway at the Brooklyn Museum during the 2019 New York Fashion Week.
Urban areas in the shire included Blayney, Carcoar, South Carcoar, Mandurama and Millthorpe and the villages of Barry, Lyndhurst, Neville and Newbridge.
The shire was abolished on 1 October 1977 with part amalgamated with Boree Shire and Molong Shire to form Cabonne Shire and the balance reconstitued as Blayney Shire.
Joeboy won Best Artiste in African Pop at the 2019 All Africa Music Awards, and Best Pop at the 2020 Soundcity MVP Awards Festival.
In the Americas Zone there are three different tiers, called groups, in which teams compete against each other to advance to the upper tier.
Teams who lost their respective ties competed in the relegation play-offs, with winning teams remaining in Group II, whereas teams who lose their play-offs were relegated to the Americas Zone Group III in 1994.
In the Asia/Oceania Zone there are three different tiers, called groups, in which teams compete against each other to advance to the upper tier.
Teams who lost their respective ties competed in the relegation play-offs, with winning teams remaining in Group II, whereas teams who lost their play-offs were relegated to the Americas Zone Group III in 1994.
It features a lattice with nearest neighbour interactions determined by the alignment or anti-alignment of spin projections along the formula_1 axis, as well as an external magnetic field perpendicular to the formula_1 axis (without loss of generality, along the formula_3 axis) which creates an energetic bias for one x-axis spin direction over the other.
An important feature of this setup is that, in a quantum sense, the spin projection along the formula_3 axis and the spin projection along the formula_1 axis are not commuting observable quantities.
Here, the subscripts refer to lattice sites, and the sum formula_7 is done over pairs of nearest neighbour sites formula_8 and formula_9.
formula_10 and formula_11 are representations of elements of the spin algebra (Pauli matrices, in the case of spin 1/2) acting on the spin variables of the corresponding sites.
formula_12 is a prefactor with dimensions of energy, and formula_13 is another coupling coefficient that determines the relative strength of the external field compared to the nearest neighbour interaction.
Below the discussion is restricted to the one dimensional case where each lattice site is a two-dimensional complex Hilbert space (i.e.
The Hamiltonian possesses a formula_16 symmetry group, as it is invariant under the unitary operation of flipping all of the spins in the formula_1 direction.
However, in terms of on-site spins the solution is generally very inconvenient to write down explicitly in terms of the spin variables.
It is more convenient to write the solution explicitly in terms of fermionic variables defined by Jordan-Wigner transformation, in which case the excited states have a simple quasiparticle or quasihole description.
Precisely, if formula_21 is a ground state of the Hamiltonian, then formula_22 is also a ground state, and together formula_23 and formula_24 span the degenerate ground state space.
As a simple example, when formula_25, the ground states are formula_26 and formula_27, that is, with all the spins aligned along the formula_1 axis.
This is a gapped phase, meaning that the lowest energy excited state(s) have an energy higher than the ground state energy by a nonzero amount (nonvanishing in the thermodynamic limit).
As a simple example, when formula_13 is infinity, the ground state is formula_32, that is with the spin in the formula_33 direction on each site.
At this value of formula_36, the system has gapless excitations and its low-energy behaviour is described by the two-dimensional Ising conformal field theory.
This conformal theory has central charge formula_37, and is the simplest of the unitary minimal models with central charge less than 1.
Besides the identity opertaor, the theory has two primary fields, one with scaling dimensions formula_38 and another one with scaling dimensions formula_39.
It is possible to rewrite the spin variables as fermionic variables, using a highly nonlocal transformation known as the Jordan-Wigner Transformation.
Then the transverse field Ising Hamiltonian (assuming an infinite chain and ignoring boundary effects) can be expressed entirely as a sum of local quadratic terms containing creation and annihilation operators.
formula_42This Hamiltonian fails to conserve total fermion number and does not have the associated formula_43 global continuous symmetry, due to the presence of the formula_44 term.
That is, the Hamiltonian commutes with the quantum operator that indicates whether the total number of fermions is even or odd, and this parity does not change under time evolution of the system.
The Hamiltonian is mathematically identical to that of a superconductor in the mean field Bogoliubov deGennes formalism and can be completely understood in the same standard way.
formula_49Then, in terms of the newly-defined Pauli matrices with tildes, which obey the same algebraic relations as the original Pauli matrices, the Hamiltonian is simply formula_50.
This indicates that the model with coupling parameter formula_13 is dual to the model with coupling parameter formula_52, and establishes a duality between the ordered phase and the disordered phase.
Note that there are some subtle considerations at the boundaries of the Ising chain; as a result of these, the degeneracy and formula_54 symmetry properties of the ordered and disordered phases are changed under the Kramers-Wannier duality.
The Hotel Rosita De Hornedo (today Hotel Sierra Maestra), located in the Puntilla area of Miramar, was one of the first major buildings to be built by a private developer in the 1950s in Havana.
Alfredo Hornedo y Suárez was the owner of the Blanquita theater, now the Karl Marx Theatre, and the Sports Casino, which is today the social circle Cristino Naranjo.
In August 1962, a group part of the Directorio Revolucionario Estudiantil (DRE) militants, travelled to Cuba from Miami in a small boat and attacked the Rosita de Hornedo building, known after the revolution as the Hotel Sierra Maestra, they fired a canon, terrorizing the guests of the Hotel, then fled back to the United States.
After the revolution, he was trained by the CIA in intelligence, communications, explosives, sabotage and subversion in Panama, Guatemala, and the United States.
He was later placed back into Cuba, posing as a physics student at the University of Santiago to help prepare the ground for the Bay of Pigs Invasion.
In 1961, under CIA sponsorship, Basulto infiltrated Cuba for a commando operation intended to sabotage an alleged missile site, a mission which was ultimately aborted.
In August 1962 he was involved in an expedition of the Directorio Revolucionario Estudantil which took a boat to Cuba and fired a 20 mm cannon at the Rosita De Hornedo hotel, though nobody was killed in the incident.
The trapezoidal site accomodates the building, parallel to 1st street, and several outdoor swimming pools on the north side of the site.
Like the FOCSA Building in the Vedado, the Rosita De Hornedo has a semi-covered Porte-cochère with a lightly sloping ramp that brings automobiles to the front door of the building.
There are a total 13 floors above the ground level; the first floor is composed of entrance and its functions close to the elevator, and commercial services; there are 12 floors of residential containing 172 apartments including the top two floors which have two pent-house apartments with circilar balconies giving the building its ditinctive look.
The apartments on the lower 10 floors have a living room, kitchenette, balcony (north side), and two or three rooms overlooking Miramar's first avenue or the ocean.
The wall transfers lateral wind loads that are incident upon it to the main building structure through connections at floors or columns of the building.
A curtain wall is designed to resist air and water infiltration, absorb sway induced by wind and seismic forces acting on the building, withstand wind loads, and support its own dead load weight forces.
The aluminum frame is typically infilled with glass, which provides an architecturally pleasing building, as well as benefits such as daylighting.
However, the effects of light on visual comfort as well as solar heat gain in a building are more difficult to control when using large amounts of glass infill.
Curtain walls differ from storefront systems in that they are designed to span multiple floors, taking into consideration design requirements such as: thermal expansion and contraction; building sway and movement; water diversion; and thermal efficiency for cost-effective heating, cooling, and lighting in the building.
In general, high rise apartment buildings have technical and economic advantages in areas of high population density such as Havana, and have become a distinctive feature of housing accommodation in virtually all densely populated urban areas around the world.
In contrast with low-rise and single-family houses, apartment blocks accommodate more inhabitants per unit of area of land and decrease the cost of municipal infrastructure.
High-rise projects after World War II typically rejected the classical designs of the early skyscrapers, instead embracing the uniform international style; many older skyscrapers were redesigned to suit contemporary tastes or even got demolished - such as New York's Singer Building, once the world's tallest skyscraper.
However, with the movements of Postmodernism, New Urbanism, and New Classical Architecture, that established since the 1980s, a more classical approach came back to global skyscraper design, that is popular today.
The elevation the sea elevation gets little direct light because of its northern exposure, here is where most of the balconies in the buiding are located.
The formal design of the Rosita De Hornedo, with its souith facing strip windows and circular, overhanging penthouses, was in part inspired by the expressionist work of architect Erich Mendelsohn (21 March 1887 – 15 September 1953) who was a German architect known for his expressionist architecture in the 1920s, as well as for developing a dynamic functionalism in his projects for department stores and cinemas.
During the Second World War she performed at the Czechoslovak National Theatre from the age of eleven and then she joined Disman's radio ensemble.
He represented Tunisia at the 2019 African Games held in Rabat, Morocco and he won the gold medal in the men's 74 kg event.
He also won the gold medal in the men's 74 kg event at the 2019 Military World Games held in Wuhan, China.
Its design includes a simple black ring and two bands of chartreuse green and aqua blue running diagonally across a white field.
Spokane's first city flag, consisting of a navy blue field with a white stripe, was adopted in 1912 following a public contest with more than 500 entries.
The third and present flag was adopted in October 1975, shortly after Spokane hosted the World's Fair and was named an All-American City.
The Spokane flag consists of a white field with diagonal bands of chartreuse green and aqua blue that run from the hoist to bottom center.
The two colors were derived from the Expo '74 logo and are unusual in flags according to the North American Vexillological Association.
Spokane's first city flag was created through a public contest held by the Spokane Ad Club in July 1912, following the creation of a flag commission by the city government.
The contest was opened to residents of Spokane and the Inland Empire and offered a $25 prize for the winning design.
More than 500 entries were submitted during the month-long contest, including drawings, sewn flags, and pennants despite being disavowed by Ad Club president R. E. Bigelow, who desired a design that would complement the national flag.
The winning entry, designed by Spokane residents W. J. Kommers, J. Frank Robbins, and Mrs. Herman Peterson, was unveiled on August 1, 1912.
The flag was used unofficially by the Ad Club to represent Spokane at national conventions and for viewings by other cities interested in designing their own flags, including Chicago.
The last remaining reproduction of the city flag is stored in the collections of the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture.
A new city flag was proposed in 1958 by local businessman S. Luther Essick, who also served as president of the Spokane chamber of commerce and the Lilac Festival Association.
Essick was inspired during his work in Vienna after World War II, where he saw citizens using their city flag as a source of civic pride.
His design was adopted by the city council on July 25, 1958, to celebrate the Lilac Festival, and installed at the city hall on September 9.
The first flag was later donated to the Expo '74 organizing committee in 1974 after being used as part of the World's Fair ceremonies.
The second city flag consisted of a lilac purple field with four white lines extending from the corners towards the center, where several images were displayed.
The outline of Mount Spokane sits above the center skyline and below a yellow sun, referencing the city's namesake, the Spokane people.
At a city council briefing in June 1975, mayor David H. Rodgers displayed the then-current lilac flag and asked for a new design to be made.
The city adopted a new flag on October 6, 1975, which was designed by art director Lloyd L. Carlson of a local advertising company that had previously worked on the Expo '74 logo.
The first flag to be produced with the new design was completed in March 1976 by two members of the St. John's Episcopal Church and presented two months to a delegation from Nishinomiya, Spokane's sister city in Japan.
A second flag was made by members of the Spokane Falls Needlework Guild over a two-month period before an annual stitchery convention in March 1977.
The city flag was rarely displayed for several decades, with occasional use at city hall and at the Avista headquarters in the 1990s.
A banner with the flag and a secondary design for the city's centennial was taken in 1981 to Mount Everest by Chris Kopczynski, who was the first Spokanite to climb the mountain.
The city flag was moved from storage to the city hall's conference room in 2012 by Spokane mayor David Condon shortly after he took office.
In a 2004 survey of city flags in the United States by members of the North American Vexillological Association (NAVA), the Spokane flag ranked 111th out of 150 overall, with an average score of 3.15 out of 10 points.
A resolution sponsored by city councilmember Kate Burke proposing the creation of a task force for designing a new flag was passed unanimously by the city council in June 2019.
The Spokane Flag Commission was formed in December 2019 and consists of ten local residents representing the city government, Spokane tribal government, arts commission, and vexillologists.
The commission plans to select a new flag design by June 2021 after taking community suggestions based on a set of guidelines.
It was originally founded in 1909, called the Louisiana State Library Association, after a call for a statewide library group from the New Orleans Library Club.
An initial meeting of thirty people was held at Tulane University in 1909 with the goal of increasing the number of trained librarians in the state and drafting library legislation.
LLA became a chapter member of the American Library Association in 1939, and has been a member since then with the exception of a period from March 5, 1963 through mid-1965 when the Executive Board of LLA resigned from ALA because the organization was not integrated.

John Walton Barker, (October 7, 1933 – October 24, 2019) was an American historian and specialist in Byzantine history and classical music.
John Walton Barker was born in Brooklyn, New York on October 7, 1933 to John W. (Jack) Barker and Evelyn Doty Barker.
(1956) and Ph.D (1961) at Rutgers University and spent three fellowship years (1959-62) at Harvard’s Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C. before joining the faculty of the History Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he served until retirement in 1999.
He was dedicated to the history of Medieval Europe, with teaching and research specialities in Byzantine, the Crusades, as well as Venetian history and civilization.
In 1975 he helped found the Byzantine Studies Conference (now the Byzantine Studies Association of North America), which continues to be the main venue for presenting current research on Byzantine studies in the western hemisphere.
He and his wife traveled extensively and, for a good decade, he led educational tours to Turkey, Greece, Italy, and especially Sicily.
Barker was a devoted connoisseur of classical music, especially opera and oratorio, with a particular devotion to the oratorios of Handel.
In addition, he sang in several local choirs including the choir at the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in Madison for 47 years.
He is buried in the Coughlin family plot at Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn where he joins his ancestor Thomas Joralemon (c. 1776—1850) and where his neighbors include Leonard Bernstein, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, as well as other notables.

The Kazani pit killings refers to the mass murder of predominantly ethnic Serbs living inside besieged Sarajevo by the forces of Mušan Topalović, commander of the 10th Mountain Brigade in the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Bosnian War.
Topalović, along with Jusuf Prazina, Ismet Bajramović and others, was one of the key criminals tasked with defending the city during the early stages of the war.
Ramiz Delalić, who commanded the 9th Mountain Brigade in Sarajevo, and Topalović who commanded the 10th brigade, controlled a large part of the besieged capital.
He exercised absolute power over neighborhoods, press-ganged recruits, ran black market smuggling, kidnapped and ransomed rich people, organized rapes, allocated empty houses, and executed Serb fighters and civilians (likely over 400).
In one documented case, a family of six was gunned down by automatic weapons as they gathered to eat lunch, by assailants who were wearing uniforms of the Patriotic League.
Jovan Divjak, a Serbian general serving with the Sarajevo government, said that officials identified the killers within hours but police blocked the investigation – as in many other cases of Anti-Serb violence.
The Kazani pit was located on Mount Trebević below Bosnian Serb Army positions and approximately 1.5 kilometers north of the city center.
It was used by Caco and his men as a place for murder and as a mass grave for their victims.
Serb civilians were rounded up, beaten and then killed, often by having their throats slit and being decapitated, before their bodies were dumped at the Kazani pit.
On May 27, 1993, Divjak informed then president of the federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Alija Izetbegović of the crimes carried out against Serbian civilians in Sarajevo.
He sent a five-page letter which not only detailed the killings being carried out by paramilitary groups, but also listed more than a dozen names of those who had been abducted and slain.
Esad Tucakovic, who was sentenced to six years in prison for his role in killings carried out in October 1993, described the torture and murder of Vasilij and Ana Lavriv, a couple during his trial.
The Bosnian government's relationship with Caco and his paramilitary group proved to be complicated as their defense of the city during its siege was a priority.
Alibabić and others charge that Caco was eliminated not because he was an out-of-control commander but because he had become a political liability for Izetbegović and his inner circle of SDA political leaders who were accomplices in his dirty work.
An exhumation of the mass graves at the Kazani pit was undertaken by investigators, with 29 bodies being recovered after a few days.
Of the 15 victims that were identified, 10 were Serbs, 2 Ukrainians (Ana and Vasilj Lavrov), 2 Croats and one Bosniak.
The total number of victims killed at Kazani is not known, with estimates ranging from a few dozen to some hundreds.
By war's end, the number of Serbs in Sarajevo was estimated to be in the low tens of thousands, fewer than 20% of those who had lived in the city in 1991.
In 2016, Bosnian Muslim politician Bakir Izetbegović, the son of Alija Izetbegović, paid tribute to Sarajevo Serb war victims by visiting the Kazani pit and laying flowers at the edge of the ravine.
In mathematics, the representation theory of semisimple Lie algebras is one of crowning achievements of the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras.
The theory was worked out mainly by E. Cartan and H. Weyl and because of that, the theory is also known as the Cartan–Weyl theory.
The theory gives the structural description and classification of a finite-dimensional representation of a semisimple Lie algebra (over formula_1); in particular, it gives a way to parametrize (or classify) irreducible finite-dimensional representations of a semisimple Lie algebra, the result known as the theorem of the highest weight.
Also, finite-dimensional representations of a connected compact Lie group can be studied through finite-dimensional representations of the universal cover of such a group.
Hence, the representation theory of semisimple Lie algebras marks the starting point for the general theory of representations of connected compact Lie groups.
Classification of the finite-dimensional irreducible representations of a semisimple Lie algebra formula_4 over formula_5 or formula_6 generally consists of two steps.
The following theorem applies: A real-linear finite-dimensional representations of a real Lie algebra extends to a complex-linear representations of its complexification.
That is to say, one hypothesizes that one has an irreducible representation formula_7 of a complex semisimple Lie algebra formula_8 without worrying about how the representation is constructed.
Let formula_9 be a Cartan subalgebra of formula_2, that is a maximal commutative subalgebra with the property that formula_11 is diagonalizable for each formula_12, and let formula_13 be a basis for formula_9.
If formula_23 is irreducible and formula_24 is a weight vector with weight formula_15, then the entire space formula_23 must be generated by the action of formula_2 on formula_24.
This claim follows from the general result on complete reducibility of semisimple Lie algebras, or from the fact that sl(2,C) is the complexification of the Lie algebra of the simply connected compact group SU(2).
This analysis is described in detail in the representation theory of SU(2) (from the point of the view of the complexified Lie algebra).
First, in this simple example, it is not hard to write down an explicit basis for the representation and an explicit formula for how the generators formula_47 of the Lie algebra act on this basis.
Note that the formulas for the action of formula_51, formula_52, and formula_53 do not depend on formula_48; the subscript in the formulas merely indicates that we are restricting the action of the indicated operators to the space of homogeneous polynomials of degree formula_48 in formula_60 and formula_61.
There is a similar theory classifying the irreducible representations of sl(3,C), which is the complexified Lie algebra of the group SU(3).
together with six other matrices formula_63 and formula_64 each of which as a 1 in an off-diagonal entry and zeros elsewhere.
The irreducible representations are then classified by the largest eigenvalues formula_77 and formula_78 of formula_67 and formula_68, respectively, where formula_77 and formula_78 are non-negative integers.
Then one takes a tensor product of formula_77 copies of the standard representation and formula_78 copies of the dual of the standard representation, and extracts an irreducible invariant subspace.
Finally, the irreducible representations with highest weight formula_89 can be realized concretely on the space of homogeneous polynomials of degree formula_48 in three complex variables.
We now briefly summarize the structures needed to state the theorem of the highest weight; more details can be found in the article on weights in representation theory.
Much is known about the representations of a complex semisimple Lie algebra formula_2, besides the classification in terms of highest weights.
We have already alluded to Weyl's theorem, which states that every finite-dimensional representation of formula_2 decomposes as a direct sum of irreducible representations.
There is also the Weyl character formula, which leads to the Weyl dimension formula (a formula for the dimension of the representation in terms of its highest weight), the Kostant multiplicity formula (a formula for the multiplicities of the various weights occurring in a representation).
Finally, there is also a formula for the eigenvalue of the Casimir element, which acts as a scalar in each irreducible representation.
As an example, we may consider formula_130, in which case formula_128 may be taken to be the special unitary group SU(n).
If formula_2 is a complex semisimple Lie algebra, there is a unique complex semisimple Lie group formula_143 with Lie algebra formula_2, in addition to the simply connected compact group formula_128.
Changes to the league's schedule include an increase from 34 to 36 regular season games for each team, the introduction of a mid-season Commissioner's Cup tournament, and an increased number of games broadcast on ESPN and ABC.
On January 14, 2020, the WNBA and the WNBA Players Association announced that a new eight-year Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) had been signed.
The WNBA announced that each team would play 36 total games in the 2020 season, an increase from the 34 games played in each season since 2003.
In the first half of the season between May 15 and July 10, each team will play its first home and road games against its five conference opponents.
Ronald Brandon Cain and a group of his Bladworth Elementary School buddies played a game of throwing tin lids into 4 foot wide circles drawn into sandy patches on their school grounds.
It was not until the 1970s that modern disc golf would be introduced to Canadians at the Canadian Open Frisbee Championships in Toronto and Vancouver, BC.
Students at Rice University in Houston, Texas, for example, held tournaments with trees as targets as early as 1964, and in the early 1960s, players in Pendleton King Park in Augusta, Georgia would toss Frisbees into 50-gallon barrel trash cans designated as targets.
In 1968 Frisbee Golf was also played in Alameda Park in Santa Barbara, California by teenagers in the Anacapa and Sola street areas.
This took place for several years and an Alameda Park collectors edition disc still exists, though rare, as few were made.
Two early coordinators of the sport are George Sappenfield and Kevin Donnelly, who, through similar backgrounds and the help of Ed Headrick at Wham-O, were able to individually spread the sport in their California cities.
In 1961, while a recreation leader and then recreation supervisor for the City of Newport Beach, California, he formulated and then began organizing Frisbee golf tournaments at nine of the city's playgrounds he supervised.
In 1965, Sappenfield was a recreation counselor during a summer break from college during which, he set up an object course for his children to play on.
When he finished college in 1968, Sappenfield became the Parks and Recreation supervisor for Conejo Recreation and Park District in Thousand Oaks, California.
Sappenfield planned a disc golf tournament as part of a recreation project and contacted Wham-O Manufacturing to ask them for help with the event.
Before 1973 and the invention of the disc golf target called the disc pole hole, there were only a few disc golf object courses in the U.S. and Canada.
Despite having never heard of the International Frisbee Association (IFA) that Ed Headrick and Wham-O had put together, or ever seeing a copy of the IFA Newsletter, Jim Palmeri, his brother, and a small group of people from Rochester, NY, had been playing disc golf as a competitive sport on a regular basis since August 1970, including tournaments and weekly league play.
By 1973, they had even promoted two City of Rochester Disc Frisbee Championship events which featured disc golf as the main event.
In Canada, beginning in 1970, Ken Westerfield and Jim Kenner played Frisbee golf daily on an 18 object hole course they designed at Queen's Park in downtown Toronto and presented Canada's first disc golf competitions.
The tournament was groundbreaking, first and foremost because of the cash involved, its massive payout right in the title, but also because the competitors had to qualify for an invitation.
In 1976 Headrick formalized the rules of the sport, founded the Disc Golf Association (DGA), the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA), the Recreational Disc Golf Association (RDGA) and invented the first formal disc golf target with chains and a basket.
Dave Dunipace invented the modern golf disc in 1983, with the revolutionary change of adding a beveled rim, giving the disc a greater distance and accuracy.
In 1982 Ed Headrick turned over control of the PDGA to the players and Ted Smethers to be run independently and to officiate the standard rules of play for the sport.
Headrick designed and installed the first standardized target course in what was then known as Oak Grove Park in La Cañada Flintridge, California.
He started designing the target because he was tired of arguing over what counted as a scoring disc with his friends.
He founded the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) and Recreational Disc Golf Association (RDGA) for competitive and family-oriented play, respectively, and worked on standardizing the rules and the equipment for the growing sport.
Philip Shirley (1913-1998) was a businessman, who held senior positions with the British Transport Commission, British Rail Board and Cunard in the United Kingdom and the Public Transport Commission in Australia.
After being appointed to the British Transport Commission in 1961, he became the vice-chairman of the British Rail Board under Richard Beeching in 1964.
Having retired, in 1972 Shirley returned to Australia, having been appointed the inaugural chairman of the Public Transport Commission, becoming the highest paid public servant in New South Wales.
Shirley earned the ire of railfans enforcing bans on steam locomotives operating on the main line in both the United Kingdom and Australia.
He was vice president of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and associate dean of the University of Chicago Divinity School.
Based on an estimate from the Mercator Advisory Group, nearly $100 billion per year is spent on holiday gift cards, but as much as 3% of the cards will never get redeemed.
National Use Your Gift Card Day was founded by Tracy Tilson who formed a limited liability company to support the National Use Your Gift Card Day movement.
Unlike seawalls, dynamic revetment is designed to allow wave action to rearrange the stones into an equilibrium profile, disrupting wave action and dissipating wave energy as the cobbles move.
It was observed that a beach immediately began to form along the toe of the eroding slide, consisting of the coarsest materials, gravel, cobbles and boulders.
With its accumulation, the rate of toe erosion progressively slowed, the material having sorted itself into a protective gravel and cobble beach, backed in riprap-like fashion by a line of armor-sized boulders.
Their crisscrossed arrangement provides dynamic stability even when impacted by high tides and waves, capturing wind-blown sand and encouraging the growth of foredunes.
Using grant funds from the California Coastal Conservancy and the Federal Highway Administration, the project relocated the bike path and parking lot.
Following storm damage to Cape Lookout State Park in 1999, it became apparent that some form of shore protection was needed.
It was decided that a conventional riprap revetment or seawall would be incompatible with this natural park setting, so the decision was made to construct a cobble berm that resembled the appearance and function of a natural cobble beach, backed by an artificial foredune that was reinforced by a core of sand-filled geotextile bags.
In 1996 a rock jetty was constructed to protect State Route 105 near North Cove, which appeared to increase the erosion to the east by redirecting the force of the waves.
In response, Washington State Department of Transportation constructed 780 feet of dynamic revetment along the south side of the highway right of way in the fall of 2017.
The dynamic revetment has generally performed as intended, with storm erosion transporting the berm material to the toe where it can buffer and dissipate wave energy.
However due to project footprint constraints, the cobble berm was constructed with a narrow width at the western end where wave energy is highest.
In 2016, as a response to what has been called the fastest erosion on the West Coast of the United States, the community of North Cove began placing cobble along nearly 2 miles of shoreline to slow the erosion while engineers worked on a more permanent design.
Working with regulatory agenies, the principles of Adaptive management and Design with Nature were incorporated into the project to allow for learning and change based on periodic monitoring by Washington State Department of Ecology.

The 2017 draft Libyan constitution is a draft of a constitution for Libya prepared by the Constitution Drafting Assembly of 60 people elected from around Libya in the 2014 Libyan Constitutional Assembly election.
Following the overthrow of the Gaddafi government in the Libyan Civil War, the Libyan interim Constitutional Declaration was published by the Libyan National Transitional Council in August 2011, intended as a temporary constitution until a permanent one could be agreed upon.
The High National Election Commission (HNEC) organised the 2014 Libyan Constitutional Assembly election of 60 representatives in February 2014, 20 from each of the Tripolitania, Cyrenaica and Fezzan regions of Libya.
Article 113 gives the president to choose the prime minister arbitrarily without being constrained to members of parliament or to the political party with a parliamentary majority.
Zaid al-Ali interpreted Chapters 8 and 9 of the draft constitution to lead to concentration of wealth in the hands of the president, including the control of natural resources.
Zaid al-Ali judged the lack of definition of intelligence services or constraints on their activities in the draft constitution risked the creation of multiple intelligence agencies with no civilian oversight.
He expressed concern that parliament's approval is not required before a presidential declaration of a state of emergency comes into effect (as in the Iraqi constitution, ).
Al-Ali judged the judiciary (in Articles including 118, 120, 125, 135 and 136) to be defined with a fair degree of independence from the president, but with a flaw in ambiguity regarding the membership and decision-making methods of the high judicial council.
Al-Ali viewed the human rights elements of the draft constitution to lack details of how they would be enforced in courts in practice.
According to al-Ali, only two other Arab countries at the time had this limitation (Tunisia, Article 49, and Yemen's draft constitution).
In February 2018, the HoR rejected the CDA's draft constitution and called instead to develop an amendment of the 1951 Constitution of the Kingdom of Libya.
Earlier in February 2018, a legal case against the validity of the draft constitution proceeded to a hearing by the Supreme Court, which dismissed lower courts' decisions against the draft.

The Yale Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics, or YICB, is an academic research center based primarily in the study of biomedical ethics.
It is partnered with the Hastings Center to sponsor the international Summer Bioethics Institute (SBI), and is a subsidiary of the Institution for Social and Policy Studies (ISPS).
The YICB ultimately agreed that there was no legal precedent against Sestan's team, but that it was in an ethical gray area.
The Nadreau Lake is a freshwater body located in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, in Canada.

Eure's elder brother, Ralph, succeeded their father to the barony after his death in 1594, while his nephew, William, was an MP in the same constituency that Francis would later represent.
His nephew, William, MP for Scarborough since 1601, had fallen into disgrace after an acrimonious dispute with Thomas Posthumous Hoby led to a fine from Star Chamber.
While his nephew was a notorious recusant, Francis Eure was a committed Protestant, which was reflected in the causes he championed during his decade of Parliamentary service.
Among the bills he favored were acts to bar recusants from serving in Parliament, to punish simony and scandalous ministers, to discourage vexatious suits against clergymen, and enforce observation of the Sabbath.
His brother attempted to have him appointed to the parliamentary seat of Richard Benson, the recently deceased MP for Ludlow, despite Francis already holding a seat, but the scheme failed.
Because of his local ties, he was expected to transfer to South Wales, but did not; this brought a complaint and call for his removal from a Catholic barrister.
Rosana Pinheiro-Machado is a Brazilian anthropologist, currently a lecturer in the Department of Social & Policy Sciences at the University of Bath.
Pinheiro-Machado earned a BA in social sciences at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in 2002, a discipline which she chose with the intention of preparing herself for a political career.
However, during this program she began to instead focus on anthropology and ethnography, and continued studying for a PhD in anthropology at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, completing that degree in 2009.
In 2016, she became a visiting professor at the Federal University of Santa Maria, and in 2019 she became a professor there.
The book traces the events in recent Brazilian history that led up to the election of Jair Bolsonaro as President of Brazil, and argues that there are imminent opportunities for the Brazilian left to challenge the right wing government.
He was known to Gardaí though his most serious conviction was for affray near his home, for which he was sentenced to six months imprisonment.
TD Fergus O'Dowd echoed the call for more resources and said that Drogheda Gardaí must be afforded all neccessary resources to tackle recent crime.
Brendan Maguire, brother of Owen, was shot on 26 February 2019 as he walked out of a toyshop in the M1 retail park during broad daylight.
In April 2019 Garda Commissioner Drew Harris announced that the Garda Emergency Response Unit was deployed to Drogheda as part of the plan to deal with the feuding gangs.
Gardaí regarded him as a drug dealer who had supplied one side in the feud and one line of inquiry is that he may have been killed by the same side of the feud that murdered Brannigan.
He had survived a previous murder attempt the previous March and he had been formally warned by Gardaí that his life was in danger.
Human remains found in Coolock and Drumcondra on 13 and 15 January 2020 were confimed by Gardaí to be his by 17 January.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said on 17 January 2020 that he wanted to set up a task force to tackle crime in Drogheda similar to one set up to tackle crime in North inner city Dublin.
The mayor said that the protest was against gang feuding and crime that had affected the town for the previous two years as well as asking those responsible for the death of Keane Mulready-Woods to reveal the location of where the rest of Keane Mulready-Woods remains were.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin, Labour Party leader Brendan Howlin, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald and Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín attended.
In the spring of 1965, information about the TOZ-250 was published, in August 1965 it became known about preparations for the production of the first batch of guns of this model at the Tula Arms Plant (the cost of the gun at that time was estimated at 90-100 rubles).
To reduce the weight of the gun, the TOZ-250 receiver was made of light alloy, and its forearm, shoulder stock and trigger guard were made of plastic.

The BWF World Tour, announced on 19 March 2017 and implemented in 2018, is a series of elite badminton tournaments, sanctioned by Badminton World Federation (BWF).
The BWF World Tour are divided into six levels, namely World Tour Finals, Super 1000, Super 750, Super 500, Super 300 (part of the HSBC World Tour), and the BWF Tour Super 100.
The Badgers are led by sixth-year head coach Paul Chryst and compete as members of the West Division of the Big Ten Conference.
The team finished with four regular season losses, and were invited to the Rose Bowl for the first time since 2012 to play Oregon.
Wisconsin hosted two of its non-conference games; against Appalachian State of the Sun Belt, and against Southern Illinois of the Missouri Valley.
In Big Ten Conference play, Wisconsin will play all members of the West Division, and draws Indiana, Michigan, and Maryland from the East Division.
Our Lady of Vendôme (), also known in Brazil as Our Lady of Porto or Our Lady of Porto of the Eternal Salvation, is a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary, of particular historical veneration in the city of Porto, Portugal, of which she is the patron saint.
Around the year 990, nobleman Munio Viegas led an army of knights from Gascony that had disembarked on the mouth of the Douro River to fight the Moors that at the time ruled Porto.
Munio Viegas and the Gascons are credited with having rebuilt the city walls: the image of Our Lady of Vendôme was placed over one of its main gates, which was christened the Door of Vendôme ().
The Door of Vendôme (which location shifted to the city centre as Porto grew through the centuries) was demolished in 1855.
He was son of Robert Harington, 3rd Baron Harington, whose title he inherited in 1418 after the death of his older brother, John Harington, 4th Baron Harington.
He died without surviving sons, and so his title passed to the son of his daughter, William Bonville, 6th Baron Harington.
The 1958 Bathurst 100 was a motor race staged at the Mount Panorama Circuit near Bathurst in New South Wales, Australia on 7 April 1958.
Together with her supervisor Nicolai Fechin Sapozhnikova travelled to Paris, where in 1910-1912 she studied in the studios of Antonio DeVity and Kees van Dongen.
After returning to Kazan, Sapozhnikova opened her own studio and supported Fechin with providing him with the financial support – she owned 11 of his works, including five portraits of hers.
Nadezhda Mikhailovna Sapozhnikova was born in Kazan on March 26, 1877, and was a seventh child in the merchant family of Mikhail and Serafima Sapozhnikova.
At that time, Sapozhnikova expressed her aesthetic aspirations through wood-crafting and porcelain painting; her teacher advised Nadezhda to do art professionally.
Before that, Sapozhnikova received medical education and became a Sister of Mercy, but was too sensitive to work in a hospital.
Fechin was Sapozhnikova's professor, but because she was older than him for four years and had a higher level of cultural and common education than other students, they soon started to communicate on equal terms.
In 1910 Nadezhda Sapozhnikova graduated from the Kazan Art School and together with Fechin went on a trip, visiting Berlin, Munich, Verona, Venice, Milan, Padua, Florence, Rome, Naples, Vienna.
There were rumors about her close relationship with Fechin since Sapozhnikova never got married and did not have any family or children.
After the revolution of 1917, Sapozhnikova opened in Kazan a free handicraft school for girls, in 1919-1924 she taught painting at the rabfak of the Kazan Federal University.
At the same time, she worked in the Kazan Art School, and took a lead of the Fichin's studio after he emigrated to the USA.
According to the memories of her niece Vera Adoratskaya, at late autumn of 1942, a goat ran away from one of Sapozhnikova' neighbours.
She left her house to look for it, and after got a strong caught from which she could not recover from.
Generally, it is hard to judge Sapozhnikova's style since few of her works have been preserved, and, apparently, neither she or her entourage considered her as a serious painter.
Over that time, the number of women who experience this disease has been the same, but also there has been a slight reduction in the number of maternal death from the condition.
The MMR has declined from 167 in 2011-2013 to 130 in 2014-2016 and to 122 in 2015-17, registering a 6.15% reduction since the last survey figures of 2014-2016.
A regional program in Andhra Pradesh seeks to ask doctors and nurses about the causes of maternal mortality in local communities.
The general circumstance is that maternal mortality has different causes in different places, but if clinics knew the common causes for that area, then they would be better prepared to prevent future deaths.
Those are delay in deciding to go to the clinic, delay in actually arriving at the clinic, and delay in getting care at the clinic.
In interviews, mothers reported that when they did not use healthcare services, their reasons included lack of access to transport to the clinic, the cost of care, and low value in a clinic visit.
Surveys have found that women in UP who are more educated and have more money tend to use more maternal health services.
Before 2017 the government focus on maternal mortality was learning about the causes of death to develop a plan for prevention.
In 2017 the Indian government shifted focus in its programs to instead detect risks then offer healthcare to prevent the death.
A 2016 national survey expected to find that if a household loses a woman to maternal death, then other women in the household will seek more clinic services during pregnancy and after childbirth.
Contrary to expectation, the study instead found that after a maternal death, women instead avoid hospitals and instead seek support from a traditional birth attendant.
Reasons for this vary, but part of the explanation is that many of these women could go to the hospital for care but choose to avoid doing so.
Social factors which influence maternal mortality in India are income inequality in India; level of access to Prenatal care and care in the postpartum period; level of woman's education; the position of the mother's community in the regional rural-urban divide; the mother's access to nutrition during pregnancy; the degree of local sanitation; and the caste position of the mother.
The same health monitoring systems which track maternal mortality could also ask women to report other problems, such as lack of good treatment from hospital staff.Healthcare in India measures and reports maternal mortality.
Government have also taken initiatives on improving the infrastructure of the country by improving roads and providing free ambulance services at PHC.
Maternal mortality is challenging to study because it is fairly uncommon, it can happen for various reasons, and it is challenging to report.
One study is the Global Burden of Disease Study, which in 2015 for the first time published a national report about India.
For the earlier 2013 versions of these two studies, researchers noted that they used different data and analysis to come to different conclusions about changes over time of maternal mortality in India.
In 2017 a report found no significant impact following a large study of 160,000 pregnant women who participated in a one-week educational program to improve maternal health and childbirth outcomes.
Ellen Shub (January 1, 1946 - December 18, 2019) was an American photojournalist focusing on human rights and social justice issues.
She studied at University of Rochester, Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, and Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts.
Shub worked as a media producer in television programming in the Boston area before becoming a full time freelance photojournalist in the 1980s.
At gallery showings, she would juxtapose images of famous people with lesser-known or unknown activists, giving each subject an equal importance or weight.
Shub worked as a grants administrator and photographer for the Institute of Coaching at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts during the last decade of her life.
Tsironis was himself a student at Montgomery County, having graduated from Watkins Mill High School and obtained a degree from the University of Maryland.
The pencil prediction system has been widely criticized by other competitors in the industry due to its lack of flexibility and arbitrary wording.
Furthermore, many statisticians have noted that some of the percentages (especially 4 pencils) don’t necessarily add up to 100%, contradicting the laws of nature and logic.
Tsironis responded to these claims on his podcast by arguing that these other forecasters should not be allowed to exist (see Intellectual property claims and legality).
He believes that MCPS school closings/delay predictions should be considered his intellectual property due to the amount of time he has spent doing it.
In the same podcast, Tsironis not only targets blatant plagiarizers of his service, but also slanders genuine snow prediction alternatives through false and misleading claims.
Based on typical advertiser pay rates, it has been estimated that MoCoSnow earns over ten thousand dollars in advertising revenue each year from his website alone.
In order to maintain this source of profit, MoCoSnow has attempted to monopolize Montgomery County, Maryland snow predictions (see Intellectual property claims and legality) and has often refused to provide his predictions through any other medium.
One such student later recalled that Tsironis spent all of the first week of class advertising MoCoSnow, prompting that student to switch teachers.
The MoCoShow was a radio podcast show that was formulated as part of Tsironis's scheme to expand the influence of MoCoSnow.
In this scheme, Tsironis attempted to sell waffles at the Washingtonian Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland to attract customers to MoCoShow and MoCoSnow.

Ananda Nagar is a village in the Joypur CD block in the Jhalda subdivision of the Purulia district in the state of West Bengal, India.
Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (Sri Sri Anandamurti), founder of the Ananda Marga, set up Ananda Nagar as headquarters of Ananda Marg Gurukul, with the objective of developing a university and a township.
Affiliated with the Sidho Kanho Birsha University, it offers honours courses in Bengali, English, history, geography, and general courses in arts and science.
It has separate hostel for boys and girls.Over the years the college has provided higher education to students from poor families living in 60 villages around Ananda Nagar.
Prior to European settlement the Millers Point area was part of the wider Cadigal territory, in which the clan fished, hunted and gathered shellfish from the nearby mudflats.
Shellfish residue was deposited in middens, in the area known to the early Europeans as Cockle Bay; the middens were later utilised by the Europeans in lime kilns for building purposes.
In the years following European colonisation of the eastern coast of Australia, the Cadigal population, as among the wider Indigenous community, was devastated by the introduction of diseases such as smallpox.
Remnants of the original Port Jackson clans eventually banded together for survival purposes, but the population continued to decline, exacerbated by alienation from their land and food sources, and by acts of aggression and retaliation, caused partly through cultural misunderstanding and partly through eighteenth-century European mindsets and perceptions about the colonisation process.
The first settlers at Sydney Cove in 1788 were hampered from thorough exploration of the Millers Point area by reasons of topography: to reach this western ridged area involved either trekking around the foreshore via Dawes Point, or by scaling the steep and rocky inclines of The Rocks.
Priority was given to establishing the colony's first structures, and the settlers' interests were initially geared more towards temporary housing and a ready supply of fresh water (via the Tank Stream) than in conquering challenging topography.
In July 1788 the high ground to the west of Sydney Cove saw the erection of a flagstaff, giving rise to its early name of Flagstaff Hill, later Observatory Hill.
The earliest buildings in the Millers Point area were intended to serve specific purposes, either for strategic military or agricultural needs.
The first government windmill was built on the site in February 1797, supplying the origin of the third name of Windmill Hill.
For military purposes, Governor King authorised the construction of Fort Phillip in 1804, a short-lived structure with hexagonal foundations that were eventually re-used in 1858 for the footprint of the extant Observatory.
In 1815, a military hospital designed by Lieutenant John Watts was constructed in close proximity to Flagstaff Hill and Fort Phillip.
Catering for both military and scientific demands was the Point Maskelyne observatory, built by William Dawes at the end of the point: immediately adjacent to his beloved observatory was the Dawes Battery, initially set up in 1788 and upgraded in 1791 whilst under Dawes' administration.
Quarrying was an established industry by the mid 1820s, and this process of systematically altering the landscape continued as a pattern throughout the century, ultimately shaping the emerging village and directing the development of the local streetscape and housing pattern.
A second local industry was lime production, used in building construction and carried out just below Fort Phillip using shells acquired from local aboriginal middens.
The location of Millers Point, with its relationship to the waterfront, was ideally suited for shipping purposes, and merchants tapped in to its potential by erecting private jetties, wharves and storage for goods.
The village of Millers Point became a definitive one in the early 1830s, as maritime and other related enterprises began to radiate outwards from Sydney Cove, bringing with it residential and commercial facilities.
The incorporation of such commercial and mercantilist elements was both indicative of, and contributory to the public perception and nature of Millers Point, with a roll-on effect throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
From this period Millers Point became irrevocably associated with maritime industries and activities, with merchants, sailors and craftsmen putting a distinctive stamp on the area.
The success of such mercantilist ventures and associated industries became evident in both commercial and residential architecture, constructed for merchants such as Robert Towns and Robert Campbell.
The close association with shipping and related patterns of activity and industry was derived from the labourers' need to be at hand upon arrival of vessels.
Valuable goods such as wool had to be loaded and unloaded at a rapid rate of turnover, with labourers required to be on call and, as such, in the nearby vicinity to respond to erratic shipping arrivals and departures.
An important outcome of this trade activity was the generation of a community that was overwhelmingly mobile, maintaining relatively loose family networks and containing a high transient population.
These key characteristics of Millers Point distinguished it from other areas, and its unusual composition was reflected by the high level of rental housing, which in most other suburbs was an indicator of poverty and unskilled workforces.
In this instance, however, the rental rates were generated by the need for flexibility and seasonal job availability on the part of workers.
Despite high mobility on the part of the population, Millers Point was able to act as a self-contained village from the 1840s; this characteristic was enhanced by its continuing topographical isolation from the town of Sydney.
The Catholic St Brigid's Church and school in Kent Street was completed in 1835, with the foundation stone of the Anglican Holy Trinity, or Garrison Church, laid in 1840 at the corner of Argyle and Lower Fort Streets.
The latter became particularly associated with the Dawes Battery military garrison but also served as a base for school and moral education and a forum for community gatherings in accordance with the accepted role of churches in the colony.
Other centres equally if not more popular for social gatherings were the host of hotels and licensed premises that catered for a range of clientele.
Some, such as the Lord Nelson Hotel and the Hero of Waterloo Hotel, became local institutions and remained active in the community to the present day.
A myriad of hotels, often sporting similar or frequently-changing names, provided local colour and an insight into current affairs and fads but inevitably adding to the confusion.
Many of these early hotel buildings are extant, such as the Whalers Arms (former Young Princess), on Lower Fort and Windmill Streets, and such structures stand as testimony to the fact that by the mid-century the Millers Point hotels were an integral part of both the social and economic roles of the area.
The sense of segregation and self-sufficiency began to be eroded through proposals to incorporate Millers Point with the rest of Sydney.
To that point, rough steps had originally been cut into the rock, to allow passage between the Rocks and Millers Point.
The Argyle Cut project commenced in 1843 using convict labour initially, and was completed through the resources of the newly formed Sydney City Council from about 1845.
The sandstone itself was used in the construction of local buildings, as was the case with the Hero of Waterloo Hotel.
Certainly by the mid-point of the nineteenth century a gradual overlaying of cultural features had evolved into a flourishing and distinct community, with various church denominations, a wide range of commercial and social services, and in 1850, the Fort Street Model School was opened, having been the original military hospital constructed in 1815 and renovated to architect Mortimer Lewis' design in 1849.
This clearly earmarked Millers Point as a prosperous area, and presaged the modern practice of adapting old buildings in the area to accommodate new uses.
Local prosperity was briefly thrown into a trough following the allure of the Californian gold fields, with employers hard-pressed to find enough experienced workers at the right price.
Indeed, the pace of the Millers Point community accelerated rapidly in the 1850s to accommodate the frenzy generated by the discovery of gold at Bathurst and the consequent flood of immigrants into New South Wales.
By the 1860s the earlier mix of worker and merchant/gentry housing began to be overtaken by commercial needs and by the creation of new residential streetscapes such as Argyle Place and Kent Street, with a distinct change in the size of residential buildings and an increasing use of materials such as slate.
The mercantilist face of Millers Point also changed, with the construction and extension of larger jetties and warehouses for imported goods as well as staples such as wool, coal and flour.
Gradually this period of upgrading saw the small scale industries and structures superseded by the encroaching larger-scale warehouses, responding to the demand created by larger vessels.
A corresponding shift in the population showed that the artisans and merchant gentry were moving elsewhere, and that Millers Point was overwhelmingly oriented towards booming export industries, with a workforce and resident population of unskilled and semi-skilled labourers catering for specific tasks.
As an integrated port town developed between the 1810s and the 1930s and little changed since then, it is remarkable for its completeness and intactness.
Its components include deep-sea wharves and associated infrastructure, bond and free stores, roadways and accessways, public housing built for port workers, former private merchant housing, hotels and shops, schools, churches, post office and community facilities.
All individual heritage listings for Millers Point are an integral part of the whole precinct and are of the same level of State significance as the precinct.
The area is generally in New South Wale Government ownership and most individual items are identified in the internal heritage regiisters of owning authorities (mainly Department of Housing).
All properties sold to private ownership are protected by State Heritage Register listings; however, recent practice has been to retain state ownership and sell leasehold only.
The Millers Point Conservation Area as defined in the City of Sydney Local Environment Plan 1992 does not include the Walsh Bay precinct which is covered by a Regional Environmental Plan.
The Millers Point Conservation Area was endorsed as an item of state and national significance by the Heritage Council on 15 December 1988.
As at 29 October 2001, Millers Point Conservation Area is an intact residential and maritime precinct of outstanding state and national significance.
It contains buildings and civic spaces dating from the 1830s and is an important example of nineteenth and early twentieth century adaptation of the landscape.
Millers Point Conservation Area was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria.
It demonstrates a complex layering of activities and events, ranging from early colonial merchant and official enterprise to twentieth century corporate port town and setting for social planning.
Its demonstrative capacity is heightened by the completeness and originality of its fabric which represents particularly strongly every decade between 1820 and 1930 and by the experiences and memory of its long term community.
Its public housing and its development into a Government corporate town were probably the first such developments in Australia (apart from first settlement) and may be of international significance.
It features virtually intact residential areas, port and stevedoring works created by the Sydney Harbour Trust, 1900 1930, in response to the Sydney plague and the requirements of maritime trade at that time.
The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales.
It demonstrates technical and creative excellence of the period 1820 1930, including wharfage, warehousing, civic facilities and landscaping, the observatory, hotels, public housing and its support facilities, colonial housing and the Garrison Church buildings.
It documents the workings of a technologically advanced early twentieth century shipping port, developed specifically to accommodate new mechanised transportation technology (engine driven vessels and motor lorries), and strongly retains and demonstrates the physical character of a port.
It demonstrates characteristic dramatic harbourside topography, human modified and utilised in strata for relevant functions (Observatory, fortifications, elevated housing for the colonial gentry, multi level warehousing/wharfage and deepwater berthing).
It is unified as an area in materials, form and scale and is clearly defined by the Harbour Bridge and Bradfield Highway, Walsh Bay and Darling Harbour.
The place has a strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group in New South Wales for social, cultural or spiritual reasons.
It demonstrates, with relatively minor change to its physical character and the social composition of its population, the life of inner Sydney in the early twentieth century.
Following its resumption in 1900 it became the setting for a pioneer programme of public housing and social improvement, demonstrated by development of a company port town by the Sydney Harbour Trust.
It retains largely working evidence of early social improvement through education (Lance Kindergarten, St. Brigid's school and the Fort Street schools).
The place has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.
Its long term residents provide a rich resource of oral evidence contributing to an understanding of the history of the place and the Sydney waterfront.
Its layered fabric, both in terms of structures and archaeology, has had relatively little disturbance since intervention by the Sydney Harbour Trust and has the potential to provide valuable evidence about the place and its community.
Its unity, authenticity of fabric and community, and complexity of significant activities and events make it probably the rarest and most significant historic urban place in Australia.
Its Walsh Bay wharves and associated port structures are unique in Australia and, when associated with the whole port-town, may be of international significance.
The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales.
Olszeski Town (previously also known as Mount Pleasant) is an unincorporated community in Mount Pleasant Township, Jefferson County, Ohio, United States.
The Me Too movement (Urdu #MainBhi ) in Pakistan is modeled after the international Me Too movement and began in late 2018 in Pakistani society.
It has been used as a springboard to stimulate a more inclusive, organic movement, nuanced of local settings, and has aimed to reach all sectors, including the lowest rungs of society.
After the death of 7-year-old Zainab Ansari in January 2018, who was raped and killed, there were a wave of declarations on Pakistan social media in the #MeToo style.
According to Pakistan's national commissioner for children and founder of help line for women, Zia Ahmed Awan, 93% of Pakistan women experience some form of sexual violence in public places in their lifetime.
Most sexual harassment cases in Pakistan go unreported because those who do come forward are abused and their character and morality are judged.
#MeToo or not, in Pakistan, the victim rather than the offender is shamed and blamed, which often results in suffering in silence.
The cost of defending oneself against defamation prevents many women from filing cases and can result in jail time or fines.
In Pakistan when the #MeToo movement began, many issues relating to sexual harassment, misconduct, and violence against Pakistani women surfaced, generating identification and discussion on the range of behaviors and roles of many alleged offenders across the media, film industry, stage, and political realm, including Pakistan's Prime Minister.
In addition, clergy charity and social welfare institutions, the judiciary, and Pakistani security establishments such as the police and military came under the spotlight.
The high percentage of occurrence without adequate means for redress often leads to women's silence because they are unable to take legal action.
Already facing a lack of safety and pay gap at work, women face the constant fear of losing their jobs if they choose to speak about harassment at work.
Failure to adequately describe a workplace leads to low attention to some of the most vulnerable working women, like the over 125,000 women health care workers who provide vaccinations and family planning services for the poorest neighborhoods in Pakistan.
Christian sanitation workers, who often have inadequate training and safety equipment, often also face religious discrimination, as do peasant women in Punjab pressing for land rights against military forces.
Though there is an ombudsperson to ensure working with women at the Lahore High Court, petitions have been dismissed on technicalities.
According to Qurrat Mirza, decriminalization of defamation and legislation which protects minority women from forced religious conversion and forced marriages need to be taken up.
Though ratifying the international Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the ratifying committee proposed a reservation which was worded vaguely calling on states to take appropriate measures to abolish discrimination against women which were in-line with the provisions of Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
The reservation gave the appearance of complying with international law, while minimizing the restrictions of Islamic law which compromise and override provisions in CEDAW for equity for Pakistani women, and foster the continuation of discrimination against Pakistani women.
According to a study carried out in 2009 by Human Rights Watch, it is estimated that between 20 and 30 percent of women in Pakistan have suffered some form of abuse.
In a study of child sexual abuse in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, out of a sample of 300 children, 17% claimed to have been abused and in 1997 one child a day was reported as raped, gang raped or kidnapped for sexual gratification.
As the female body is often attached to both personal and family honor in Pakistan, violence against women is used to inflict punishment or seek revenge.
Police and agents of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) do not take reports seriously, often failing to file reports or sending victims to various jurisdictions.
ends up favoring perpetrators by allowing victims to be intimidated, abusers to be indirectly identified, and defamation cases to be filed without allowing for the resolution of the case, which is often protracted.
Nighat Dad heads the Digital Rights Foundation, which created 'Ab Aur Nahin' (Translation:Now, No more), a legal support framework for sexual harassment victims.
The platform provides working women and students with networks of counselors and pro-bono lawyers to assist them in fighting legal retaliation and misconduct.
After the death of 7-year-old Zainab Ansari, who was raped and killed in January 2018, a wave of declarations began on Pakistan social media in the #MeToo style.
New legislation in 2017, established that the punishment for sexual assault against a minor in Pakistan would result in 14 to 20 years in prison and a minimum fine of 1 million rupees.
Former model Frieha Altaf and designer Maheem Khan shared stories of sexual abuse, and challenged Pakistan to be more proactive at stopping children from getting raped.
Using hashtags like #BoycottAliZafar, #BoycottTeefainTrouble, and #TeefaisTrouble, a wave of activists built momentum on social media before the movie's premiere and subsequent screenings.
A few major Pakistani media outlets ignored the demonstrations but others began covering stories when protestors turned up at cinemas and police and other law enforcement agencies got involved.
Zafar avoided his grand entrance at the film's Karachi premiere and took a detour through the basement at Nueplex Cinemas in DHA, Karachi, to dodge the demonstrators gathered at the venue's main entrance.
Protestors showed up again at Lahore's CineStar to voice their anger and disappointment at both the promotion of the film of an alleged harasser and the celebrities pouring in to support him.
At yet another screening of the film at Nueplex Cinemas at Rashid Minhas Road, Karachi, protestors were allegedly held in the basement and beaten by the cinema's private security, with various media reports confirming the incident.
The demonstrators' phones were also confiscated and the cinema's security allegedly tried to plant incriminating evidence in one of the protestors' bags in order to make their case appear stronger to police.
In 2014, a 17-year-old woman cricketer named Halima Rafiq, alleged that officials of the Multan Cricket Club traded sexual favors for spots on the state team.
When the Pakistan Cricket Board conducted an inquiry and then exonerated officials, instead banning five female players for six months, an official sued Rafiq.
In an allegedly false case of sexual misconduct claimed by a student against lecturer, Muhammad Afzal, of MAO College, an inquiry declared Afzal innocent, but the college management refused to provide him with a clearance certificate.
When his wife left him, Afzal committed suicide citing extreme stress in his suicide note and writing that he would leave the issue in the court of Allah.
The case began to be used to condone ignoring the growing number of sexual harassment cases and culture of violence in the country.
He tweeted saying, what the victims of misconduct say and how they say or hide is all true…So one wrongful suicide doesn’t mean all other women victims are fake or liars.
He has no doubts that 99.99% victims of sexual misconduct always tell the truth and that he feels upset that vested interests were attacking the #MeToo movement and victims.
Still others, like Pervez Musharraf, former Army Chief and President of Pakistan, have characterized victims as opportunists who used allegations of rape to secure visas and citizenship abroad.
Movie director Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar exemplified the trivialization that the movement receives with his remarks that the #MeToo movement was about women wanting the right to assault men.
After 2019's International Women's Day march, called Aurat March, attended by thousands of women across Pakistan, politician and television host, Aamir Liaquat Hussain called for an investigation to determine where women got the money for their demonstrations, suggesting that there were outside influences funding the events.
Islamic feminists also complained that the protestors were secular and that their values were too western to represent women who held to Islamic cultrual values.
Journalist Rafia Zakaria noted that Pakistan's #MeToo movement is an urban and class-based movement, as only 37% of the country is aware of the internet.
Many elite feminists remain silent or try to minimize the problems closing ranks to protect those in their own social class.
This manifests in several ways, for example, when a woman from the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region who videoed threats by army personnel and claimed they made sexual overtures to her, she was ignored because no one was interested in battling with the powerful military.
In another case, when politician Ayesha Gulalai Wazir accused Prime Minister Imran Khan of inappropriate texts, she was accused by her party and the media of being a political opportunist.
Shireen Mazari, Federal Minister for Human Rights, dismissed Gulalai's allegations, in spite of the fact that Mazari's daughter had previously left the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party after experiencing harassment.
In her daughter's case, Mazari resigned from the party for a year, but then rejoined and was appointed to the ministry.
Though there is growing participation of feminists in Pakistani social media, which has increased global discussion of feminism and its context in Pakistan, low awareness of the Internet has prevented involvement by those with limited income, low education levels, or who live in rural environments.
To bridge the gap, in 2018 the Women's Democratic Front (WDF) was created to promote outreach on social media to working-class and rural women.
On the other hand, though social media and the internet have allowed women to speak, the platforms have also increased the amount of bullying and harassment they face on line.
Fake profiles created to victimize women, blackmail, and abusive comments, have escalated psychological problems such as depression and low self-esteem for victims.
FIA's inadequate responses and lack of access to regional offices for rural women, serve as barriers to the pursuit of legal action.
In part because patriarchy is deeply entrenched in the socio-political and cultural identity of Pakistan, and in part because of the stratified feminist movement which is divided by class, self-interest and status.
Though reform has been slow to come, the movement has given momentum to reform of the existing sexual misconduct laws, launch new initiatives, and has heightened awareness of the legal challenges faced by victims.
Saba Karim Khan, an associate instructor in the division of social sciences at New York University in Abu Dhabi, advocates introducing sex education programs in schools and training both sexes about consent and what constitutes harassment in language that they understand rather than legal terms.
Students at Cedar College in Karachi, frustrated by the slow response of administrators to harassment at their school, contacted activists and lawyers to help them draft a policy for sexual harassment for the school.
School officials were receptive and brought in other members to the team, which in 2018 resulted in a broad policy covering sexual harassment and misconduct, as well as intimidation, like bullying or cyber-stalking.
The #MeToo movement sparked analysis by the Pakistani legal fraternity, who wrote media articles about the various laws governing sexual misconduct and their limitations.
When pressed by activist, Asma Jahangir, the Supreme Court of Pakistan directed federal and provincial legislatures to simplify the processes and strengthen protections in the existing codes dealing with sexual misconduct.
In private initiatives, like the one launched at Cedar College with the help of members of the Girls at Dhabas and the Women's Action Forum, the policy developed for one school, has become a model policy for other educational institutions across Pakistan.
Frank Williams Durkee (October 5, 1861 – May 21, 1939) was an American football player and coach and a college faculty member.
Mount Turner, also known as Boundary Peak 162, is an 8,661+ foot (2,640+ meter) glaciated mountain summit located in the Fairweather Range of the Saint Elias Mountains, on the Canada-US Border between southeast Alaska and British Columbia.
The peak is situated on the shared boundary of Glacier Bay National Park with Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park, west of Tarr Inlet, and southwest of Mount Forde, which is the nearest peak.
This climate supports small hanging glaciers on its slopes as well as the larger Margerie Glacier to the south and Ferris Glacier to the north.
He served as the head football coach at Bemidji State Teachers College in Bemidji, Minnesota from 1938 to 1954, compiling a record of 54–54–5.
Richard J. Simmonds (born 2 August 1944) is an English politician who was a Member of the European Parliament for the British consituency for Midlands West and later Wight and Hampshire East from 1979 until 1989.
During his first term, he joined the Committee on Development and Cooperation on 20 July of the same year, and at the time the Parliament adjourned, was serving on the Committees on Youth, Culture, Education, Information and Sport and on Agriculture until the Parliament adjourned on 23 July 1984.
He served as a member of both the Committees on Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and on Budgetary Control; and also participated in diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
He served as a member of the committees on Budgets; on External Economic Relations; on Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development; and on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection; and participated in diplomatic relations with South America.
During the vote on the 1995 enlargement of the European Union, Simmonds took a plane to Strasbourg to join the other Conservative MEPs in their vote.
Ida is a savvy Seattle teen with a problem: Every time she gets emotional, especially romantically, she loses her voice or faints.
Ida's mother is consumed by alcoholism, and her father by his affair with Mrs. K., the wife of a man who propositioned her when she was 14.
The most daring of these attacks involves a secret recording of a conversation between Siggy and a mysterious man, intended to be made into an art film.
But while Ida finds her father having a heart attack at a nearby hospital, some raw footage of her film goes viral, with unexpected consequences, as things quickly get out of control.
Bauer lost her voice and had coughing fits, perhaps the result of trauma, resulting from ongoing sexual abuse or attempted sexual abuse, which she reported to her parents who didn't believe her.
The man she accused, Herr K, was a close friend of the Bauer family, and according to Ida, her father was carrying on an affair with his wife.
Freud initially gained Bauer's confidence by apparently accepting her story, but when he insisted she accept her own implication in the complex interfamily drama, and admit to an attraction to the man who assaulted her, he alienated his patient, who abruptly finished the treatment after 11 weeks, producing, Freud reported bitterly, a therapeutic failure.
These advanced tastes age Ida out of her demographic, but they also reveal the true purpose of her character: Ida is less a teenager than a radical everywoman whose outrageous antics expose the fault lines in the dominant culture.

The Duke of Edinburgh's Royal Regiment Band was a military band of the British Army that served as the regimental band of the Duke of Edinburgh's Royal Regiment (Berkshire and Wiltshire) from 1959 to 1994.
During its existence, the regimental band maintained a corps of drums alongside its band that took part in many different ceremonies on behalf of the regiment.
The band was founded in 1959 from a amgulation from the Royal Berkshire Regiment Band and Drums and the Wiltshire Regiment Band.
In August 1979, members of the regimental band were hurt in the 1979 Brussels bombing on the Grand Place, carried out by volunteers belonging to the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA).
Fatalities were avoided as only some of the band's 30 members arrived (the rest were stuck in city traffic) and the band members that were there were dressing away from the stage.
In October 1984, the regiment was given the duty of guard mounting at Buckingham Palace, as well as the Tower of London and St. James's Palace.
The band under Major Lake, supported by a company of 150 soldiers, performed during the execution of public duties in the capital.
While the band was in Asia, it performed at ceremonies in neighbouring countries and territories of the Crown, including Hong Kong and Japan.
While the 1 DERR was deployed to Joint Base Lewis–McChord in the United States in the spring of 1992, the band carried out a series of engagements in the region that culminated in a joint concert with the I Corps Band at the Washington State Capitol in Olympia.

It begins between two high ranges of the Verkhoyansk Range, running approximately from north to south to the west of the Khunkhadin Range.
Then it turns northeast at the feet of the northwestern side of the Nelgesin Range, flowing through a narrow valley before it joins the Adycha further downstream from the mouth of the Derbeke and the Charky.
Colonel of the Madagascar People’s Armed Forces, he was Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Madagascar from 13 January 1976 to his death, under the presidency of Admiral Didier Ratsiraka.
He died in the accident of a Aérospatiale Alouette III transport helicopter during a short flight with the chief of staff Alphonse Rakotonirainy on 30 July 1976, the last month of the presence of the French Armed Forces in Madagascar.
The maximum seven-seat transport helicopter, with more than 40 kilograms of luggage, took off from Antananarivo on 30 July 1976 for several successive flights.
The crash was caused either by sabotage or mechanical failure, in view of the ASN database on the safety of Aérospatiale Alouette III.
Also known as the Pro Cathedral of the Annunciation and The Little White Church, the wood and corrugated iron structure was opened in 1903, and has been continually used as a church.
In the early 1900s, the rise of Broome's pearling industry started an economic boom, and as a result an Anglican church was needed to serve the town.
The community began organising and fundraising in 1902, and decided on the name, Church of the Annunciation, at a special general meeting of the parishioners of the newly-constituted parochial district of Broome.
More than £300 was raised in three months, and by December tenders had been accepted to build the church, with building materials sourced from Fremantle.
The church opened the next year on Easter Day, 12 April 1903, and was consecrated on 12 June by Bishop Riley.
In 1965, with Broome's population decreasing, the diocese moved its headquarters to Geraldton, with the church assigned to the Derby parish.
French doors were replaced with hopper windows in 1973; the walls, roof and ceiling were repaired in 1976; likewise the belfry in 1985; and further work on the ceiling and floors in 1990.
The latest repairs in 2019 involved replacing termite-damaged exterior panels, relocating the bell tower, and heritage restorations, including painting the building its original white colour, from which it derived the colloquial name The Little White Church.
The church was given a permanent entry on the Register of the National Estate on 18 April 1989, listed on the State Register of Heritage Places on 2 September 1997, and added to the Shire of Broome Municipal Inventory on 28 August 2014.
It was cast in 1902 by John Taylor and Company, well-known founders in Loughborough, England, who also cast the Great Paul bell for St Paul's Cathedral in London, the largest bell in Britain from 1881 to 2012.
It arrived in 1902, donated by Siebe Gorman of Siebe Gorman and Co, a successful manufacturer and supplier for the pearl-diving industry.

The Madrasa of Abu al-Hasan, also referred to as the Marinid Madrasa (of Salé), is a medieval madrasa located within the old city of Salé, Morocco.
Beyond the vestibule, one enters sideways into the corner of the central courtyard, which is measures about 8 by 5 meters.
The spaces between the gallery columns and the outer wall of the courtyard are covered by painted wood ceilings carved into geometric star patterns, one part of which has been restored to its approximate original colours.
The room is divided into three spaces by arches on either side of the mihrab and covered by more timber ceilings.
Both the wood and the stucco are carved with calligraphic decoration and with a variable repertoire of geometric, arabesque, and floral/vegetal patterns.
A rectangular marble panel carved with a foundation inscription of the building was originally set into the northwestern wall of the courtyard (opposite the mihrab and the prayer room).
With a special episode filmed on location in Australia, for this episode a local actor Maurice Novoa was cast as the music producer for Agnes’s character Zie.

The second in the series of color developing agents used in developing color films, commonly known as CD-2, is chemically known as 4-Diethylamino-o-toluidine 1,4-Benzenediamine, N4,N4-diethyl-2-methyl- or N1,N1-Diethyl-3-methylbenzene-1,4-diamine 4-(Diethylamino)-2-methylaniline.
In color development, after reducing a silver atom in a silver halide crystal, the oxidized developing agent combines with a color coupler to form a color dye molecule.
Much service-delivered content is dependent on a session to provide much of the context that the user (client) needs to understand answers to questions.
For example, using current HTTP internet protocols, a codice_1 request to retrieve information identified by a URI, such as a web page, a client (a human or a machine) may have access information supplied automatically to enable that client to bypass paywalls or other content access controls.
Current internet protocols allow for formats, languages and related preferences to be expressed by clients but make no mention of what a client already knows and what they may understand.
This then allows clients to indicate not just formats and languages that they understand (technically that they prefer) but also domains of discourse that that do, which is a step towards comprehensive client context provision.
This notwithstanding, if a service to be a KaaS must deliver knowledge then the mechanics implemented must not exclude that possibility.
This may prevent mechanics that rule out annotations or definitions for packets of data delivered or perhaps data delivered that is not able to be deterministically associated with the question asked since that would destroy result context.
The Utrecht Schism () was a diocesan feud in the Prince-Bishopric of Utrecht from 1423 to 1449, during which there was a major conflict over who was the legitimate prince-bishop of Utrecht.
The conflict mixed with the existing Utrecht factionalism between the Lichtenbergers and Lokhorsten (called 'Gunterlingen' until 1413) and with the Hook and Cod wars raging in the County of Holland.
The Concordat of Worms (1122) stipulated that bishops in the Holy Roman Empire, to which the Prince-Bishopric of Utrecht belonged, should be elected by the church chapters and no longer appointed by the emperors, as had been customary since the introduction of the Imperial Church System until the Investiture Controversy.
From the 13th century onwards, most chapters lost their right to vote and only the cathedral chapters were still allowed to elect the bishop, but in Utrecht this developed differently: aside from St. Martin's Cathedral, the chapters of the Old Munster Church, St. Peter's Church, and St. Mary's Church retained their voting rights.
In theory, these canons had the freedom to choose whichever candidate-bishop they liked, but in practice they were under the influence (by means of bribery or blackmail, for example) of neighbouring princes, especially the Count of Holland, the Count and later Duke of Guelders and eventually also the rising Duke of Burgundy, to opt for a candidate they had nominated.
As the eventual winner was usually already quite old and also passed away relatively soon again, the Prince-Bishopric of Utrecht experienced many more power transfers than the realms surrounding it, where due the principe of hereditary succession a deceased count or duke was usually succeeded by his much younger son.
Moreover, since the 14th century, the Popes had been trying to increasingly overrule the chapters by ignoring their choices, and claiming the exclusive right to appoint all bishops themselves.
The day after his passing, messengers were sent forth to the neighbouring principalities, informing them that the episcopal see of Utrecht had become vacant and a successor was sought.
The same day the five chapters (jointly known as the 'General Chapter') held a meeting to determine the date of the election.
Initially the cathedral chapter could not agree with the other four chapters, but on 16 October the cathedral chapter conceded and settled on 9 November as election day.
Previously the magistrate had adopted an act that stipulated all interested parties should be outside the city during the election in order to reduce any pressure they might exert on the electors.
The ruling Lichtenbergers and Hooks rallied to the camp of Rudolf; he was supported by the six main cities of Utrecht (Utrecht city, Amersfoort, Deventer, Kampen, Zwolle and Groningen city) and the knighthood, thus receiving the majority of the canons' votes.
The Lokhorsten had chosen the party of Zweder van Culemborg, but he and his brother Walraven van Meurs failed to get enough votes.
Pope Martin V was very unsatisfied with the results so he ignored the election of Rudolf and instead set his sights on , the prince-bishop of Speyer, whom he appointed as the bishop of Utrecht on 7 July 1424.
Zweder, who had initially accepted Rudolf's election, exploited this to his advantage by persuading Raban to step down and the pope to appoint him in Raban's place.
Raban agreed and resigned, and after Zweder paid the papal court 4000 ducats, pope Martin appointed him as bishop in 1425.
The States of Oversticht vehemently opposed the appointment of Zweder, and remained loyal to Rudolf, who proceeded to establish himself in Oversticht.
On the other hand, the States of Nedersticht wavered in their opposition against Rome, and on 20 July 1425, they allowed the procurator of Zweder to enter the city, while the General Chapter declared that it would obey the papal letters instructing them to accept Zweder.
Zweder had the towns of Rhenen and Amersfoort occupied, and announced that he intended to have himself sworn in inside the city of Utrecht on 21 August; he convinced the magistrate to cooperate through nice promises.
At that time, the faction of Lichtenbergers, Proysen and Hook noblemen were the leading party in the city; they had sided with Rudolf.
Their political adversaries, the Lokhorsten, had been banished from the capital, and members of the powerful Utrecht guilds rallied to either faction as the crisis escalated.
On the occasion of his inauguration on 21 August 1425, Zweder van Culemborg permitted some banished Lokhorsten to return to the city, as had been agreed with the magistrate in the spirit of reconciliation.
Euphoric about their success, the Lokhorsten decided, probably with Zweder's approval, to settle the scores with the Lichtenbergers by committing a coup d'état.
The mayor of Utrecht, the Lichtenberg-aligned , was murdered by pro-Lokhorst butchers with their knives as he lay ill in bed in his own house.
One year later, in 1426, a number of Lichtenberger noblemen and burghers managed to sneak into the city gates, disguised as monks.
The Lokhorsten, including the butchers, armed and formed up on the town hall square called De Plaats (nowadays De Stadhuisbrug), but were defeated by the Lichtenbergers, who chased them away across the city walls.
Next, Zweder van Culemborg was ousted out of the capital, after which Rudolf van Diepholt came back from Oversticht and set up his court in Utrecht, where the Lichtenbergers and Proysen restored their position as the dominant faction.
In 1428 a ceasefire was agreed, and in 1429 Guelders concluded a separate peace with Rudolf; meanwhile Arnold still had a tough war against Jülich–Berg on his hands and couldn't afford to maintain his intervention.
With Guelders having withdrawn from the conflict, Rudolf had pretty much achieved military victory, although a diplomatic dispute remained for the next 20 years.
For example, it was henceforth prohibited to perform certain Catholic baptism and wedding rituals in the capital, but the inhabitants ignored the papal restrictions.
There was little Zweder could do about the situation; he had retreated Overijssel, and as a meagre consolation, Eugenius appointed him as 'titular' bishop of Caesarea (a destroyed city in the Holy Land which the Crusaders had already abandoned two centuries earlier).
However, the Council of Basel came into conflict with Eugenius and continued recognising Zweder; after the latter's death in 1433, these clerics appointed Zweder's brother Walraven van Meurs as the new bishop.
The conflict between Eugenius and the Council escalated such that in 1439 the latter elected Antipope Felix V, who confirmed their choice for Walraven.
The Utrecht Schism ended around 1449, when Walraven van Meurs abandoned his claim to the episcopal see, and Rudolf van Diepholt was universally accepted as the bishop of Utrecht.
When Walraven's brother, the Münster prince-bishop , died on 2 June 1450, Walraven nominated himself as a candidate, while Rudolf nominated his nephew .
However, an opposing candidate, , could not accept his defeat, and declared war on Walraven, triggering the Münster Diocesan Feud (1450–1457), in which both Walraven and Rudolf would again participate.
But because the Burgundian duke Philip the Good insisted on his bastard son David of Burgundy becoming the prince-bishop of Utrecht, this dispute led to the Utrecht war (1456–1458).

The Gameygal lived on the northern side of Botany Bay, between present day La Perouse and the mouth of the Cooks River.
To the north of the Cooks River between South Head and present day Darling Harbour lived the Cadigal people and the Wangal people lived in an area between the Parramatta River and the Cooks River from Darling Harbour to Rose Bay.
To the south of Botany Bay in the coastal area including Kurnell and Cronulla and the south coastal strip to Nowra lived the Gweagal people.
While there is some argument about the location of land of the Bidiagal clan, there is some evidence that this clan lived in the area between the southern bank of the Cooks River and the northern bank of the Georges River.
Previous reports on the Aboriginal past of the area where the Art site is located have suggested that it was occupied by the Bidiagal.
The potential association of the Bidiagal people with the site should not be discounted as a result of this lack of historical detail as after the collapse of the clan structure due to the smallpox epidemic of 1788 and general impact of European invasion, individuals travelled beyond the pre-1788 traditional boundaries.
While the age of the midden and rock paintings is at present unknown as no archaeological investigation has been conducted, it is accepted that the site was regularly used by the Aboriginal people of the local area as they travelled between sites of ceremonial importance and sources of food and water that changed with the seasons.
It is thought that the warmer months were spent nearer the coast and the cold months of winter were spent further inland.
Throughout Australia traditional Aboriginal people practised art making in the places on their land that they visited in their seasonal travels.
Rock art includes engraving, painting using ochres and charcoals, hand printing and stencilling of hands, feet and objects such a boomerangs, small animals kangaroo paws etc.
It is not known with certainty why traditional Aboriginal people made stencils or other art on particular rock formations although discussion with Aboriginal people has indicated that it is highly likely that the reasons differed from region to region throughout Australia.
Possible motivations for the practise include that it may have been a way of indicating that the group had been in that place and where they had moved on to or that art was made as part of a ritual or ceremony held in that place.
The making of artwork and stencils may have been a way of connecting with ancestral beings, embodied in the natural features of the country including rock outcrops such as the one in Earlwood.
The practise of stencilling may have been the way in which older, initiated members of a group introduced the ancestral being to younger group members.
The initiated members stencilled the forearm and hands on the rock embodying their ancestors and younger members had their only their hands stencilled.
The foot stencils are a rare phenomena and the significance of these cannot be definitely determined although they may indicate direction or were casual occurrences.
While land closer to the town of Sydney was relatively quickly carved up as land grants to settlers in the first years of the European colony, the land on the southern side of the Cooks River was not subject to land granting until 1904.
It was not until 1808 when a number of very large land grants were made over land which traditionally provided Aboriginal people access to the resource rich area of the Georges River, Kurnell Bay and Salt Pan Creek that land became the reason for conflict between the Bidiagal and European settlers.
Tedbury was the son of Pemulway who had led perhaps the best known campaign of resistance in the Sydney Basin including a spear attack on Governor Phillip's game keeper, a man renowned for his hostility to the Aboriginal people of the Sydney area.
In the following years as a result of alienation from their land and its resources and being subject to the devastation of European infectious diseases, the Aboriginal population in the area dramatically reduced.
In 1845 it was reported to the New South Wales Legislative Select Committee that there were only 3 people of the Botany Bay clan and only fifty Aboriginal people were living in the area between the Cooks and Georges River.
During the 19th Century European settlers transformed the land along both banks of the Cooks river as farms were established for grazing and raising a family's food needs, and also for other industries such as tanning, production of sugar, the harvesting of timber, and also the production of lime from the many middens which had been left by the Aboriginal people of the area for thousands of years.
The part of Earlwood in which the Aboriginal Art site is located was bought at auction between 1835 and 1836 by Abraham B. Pollack.
Despite the disturbance of the environment there is abundant evidence of pre-contact Aboriginal occupation of the area including the rock art and midden site.
The rock art site was first recorded by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) in 1974and a later anonymous drawing of the rock art site is dated c.1970.
The Aboriginal Art site at Earlwood comprises a midden in a rock shelter with stencils of hands and feet on the rock walls of the shelter.
The site is situated within the context of a rock outcropping from the sandstone ridgeline which dominates the landscape on the south side of the Cooks River valley at Earlwood.
The art is situated inside the rock shelter, which is open on its north side, looking out over the Cooks River valley.
The site suffers from weed growth, in particular the midden deposit, which has been disturbed (at least at the surface) by the manual removal of weeds.
An informal recording of the site by a former neighbour was conducted prior to this (c.1970), and recorded at least 10 hand stencils within the rock shelter.
The recorder noted that stencils at the south end of the shelter were covered by dust, and were therefore not fully recorded, and that potentially more stencils would be found in that area under the dust.
The 1979 recording also noted that the shell midden was probably about 4 feet deep, was littered with rubbish, but generally undisturbed at that time.
The recording also noted that a former neighbour had collected about 20 stone flakes from the site (prior to NPWS legislation protecting Aboriginal relics).
The Assessment noted the presence of Sydney cockle and whelk shells on the surface elsewhere on the site, but in the context of building debris, and likely to have been moved downhill (by erosion or other disturbance).
As at 11 June 2009, the site has been deteriorating over time due to a lack of protection and poor site management practices.
The visibility of the stencils within the shelter has deteriorated over time (observation based upon comparison with the 1970s recordings and subsequent records of site visits by Council officers).
An Archaeological Assessment of the sitehas indicated that archaeological potential is restricted to the area identified as the curtilage for the site.
Though shell fragments have been observed mid-slope and at the street frontage of the property, these have been stray finds likely resulting from erosion and other disturbance.
whether they were produced within a discrete period of time, or whether they were the product of several phases of painting over a longer period of time.
Expert advice is required to determine whether the effects of weathering can be reversed in order to recover and preserve the stencils.
Anecdotal information indicated that there were other Aboriginal sites on adjoining properties, including engravings on a rock surface at the top of the cliff directly behind the site, but which had been destroyed by development at least by 1979.
As at 6 September 2013, the Aboriginal art site at Earlwood is of State heritage significance as it provides clear and intact evidence of Aboriginal occupation of the area prior to European settlement.
Comprising a rockshelter, midden and stencil work, the site offers a rare and unique insight into the daily life as well as the routine and ceremonial culture of the Bidigal people prior to European contact.
Its significance is strengthened in that it is a rare example of such an intact surviving occupation site in a highly urbanised setting.
The Aboriginal art and midden site at Earlwood is of State significance as both a rare and representative example of painted stencil art including foot stencils, from the Sydney basin, providing a basis for cross comparison with other regional styles across NSW.
The site is exceptionally rare within the local area, being the only one of its kind in the City of Canterbury, and is also rare within the central Sydney region and the State, both for its combination of art and midden deposit, and especially for the presence of rare foot stencils.
The site has the a high potential to reveal archaeological data and thus increase the understanding of the site and similar sites and their integration into traditional Aboriginal life and culture.
The midden deposit may contain artefacts, and evidence relating to diet and subsistence, and the environment of the Cooks River valley prior to European settlement.
A detailed recording of the painted stencils may also have the potential to provide enhanced knowledge about the creation of stencil sites in the Sydney region and provide a basis of comparison with similar sites across NSW.
Earlwood Aboriginal Art Site was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 27 November 2009 having satisfied the following criteria.
The Aboriginal midden and art site at Earlwood is of State heritage significance as it provides strong evidence of Aboriginal occupation in this region from thousands of years prior to European settlement.
The site is of State heritage significance as it not only provides evidence of an important period in the course of the history of NSW; it provides a unique and rare insight into the daily life and culture of Aboriginal people before European contact.
Discussion with Aboriginal people indicates that traditional Aboriginal people made stencils on particular rock formations for a variety of reasons including as a way of indicating that the group had been in that place and where they had moved on to or that it was done as part of a ritual or ceremony.
The making of artwork and stencils may have been a way of connecting with ancestral beings, embodied in the natural features of the country including rock outcrops such as the one in Earlwood.
The practise of stencilling was the way in which older, initiated members of a group introduced the ancestral being to younger group members.
The initiated members stencilled the forearm and hand on the rock embodying their ancestors and younger members had their only their hands stencilled.
The foot stencils are a rare phenomena and the significance of these cannot be definitely determined although they may indicate direction or were accidental/ casual occurrences.
It is part of the historical legacy of the Aboriginal people of the Sydney basin, and specifically, of the dialect groups (Bidiagal/Gweagal) who inhabited the Cooks and Georges River valleys and the Botany Bay area.
The place has a strong or special association with a person, or group of persons, of importance of cultural or natural history of New South Wales's history.
The Earlwood art site and midden is of heritage significance at State level through its association with the Aboriginal people who lived in the area prior to colonisation and whose numbers in the decades after contact were decimated through the alienation of their land and the impact of disease.
Nevertheless, they were created by individuals, and their handprints and footprints are highly personal relics of the original inhabitants of this land.
These stencils, and the individuals who made them, can be regarded as representatives of their people as a whole, evocatively speaking for the heritage of the Aboriginal people of the Sydney basin, and of the Aboriginal people of New South Wales.
The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales.
The Earlwood rock shelter decorated with 21 painted hand stencils, 2 hand and forearm stencils and 2 foot stencils in white ochre is of State heritage significance for its aesthetic qualities as a fine and rare example of Aboriginal stencil art in an urbanised setting.
The site is significant not only because of the presence of stencils, but because of the variation (hand, hand and forearm and foot stencils) displayed in the one site.
The aesthetic significance of this site is enhanced due to the inclusion of the local, regional and state wide rarity of foot stencils in Aboriginal art.
The State heritage significance of this site is also derived from its landmark qualities which, although camouflaged in their current urban setting amidst intensive 20th Century housing development are still in place.
Its location made it an important site where the older members of the group could point out and explain the significant landscape features of their country to younger members of the group and signify their presence and activities through the making of art on the walls of the shelter.
One such landscape feature, clearly visible from the site is the island in the Cooks River near the Tempe railway bridge.
This island is part of the Pelican Dreaming story and is the place where the Pelican stepped through the river and left his footprint.
It is one of very few surviving intact Aboriginal art sites in highly urbanised areas in the State which were integral to the life and custom of traditional Aboriginal people.
The place has a strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group in New South Wales for social, cultural or spiritual reasons.
The subject site is likely to be of State Heritage Significance to the Aboriginal groups of the local area the wider Sydney area and the State as a for it is a rare example of the living history of Aboriginal people form the pre-contact period to survive in a highly urbanised context.
The stencils provide a very direct and personal associative linkage between contemporary Aboriginal people and those who used this site for thousand of years prior to European contact as they are an exact outline or portrait of the people who made these artefacts.
The site has been a source of education and pride for a number of groups including the students of Tranby College who visited the site in 1986 as part of the Site Curators' course.
The place has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.
The site is of State heritage significance as a rare example of an occupation site containing art and a midden site with a huge potential resource for research into the traditional Aboriginal culture.
The midden may potentially yield archaeological information relating to the diet and subsistence practices of the Aboriginal people who created the midden, the age of the midden, and the local environment at the time.
Anecdotal information which suggests that stone flakes were found on the site (pre-1974) raises the possibility that the midden and the site would also yield other examples if archaeologically investigated.
They therefore have the potential to yield further information via a more detailed recording which may locate further stencils as well as measurement information which may indicate the minimum number of individuals responsible, gender and age of the art makers and contribute greatly to the understanding of this site and similar sites across the State.
The research potential of this particular site is enhanced as the impact of urbanisation in the central Sydney area has resulted in the destruction of many similar sites in this region.
Information from this site would provide important comparisons with material from sites related to the groups of Aboriginal people in Northern Sydney and other areas thus shedding light on the differences in custom and lifestyle between Central Sydney clans and those elsewhere.
Information that may be derived from this site is significant in providing information to contemporary Aboriginal people about the history of their people.
The Earlwood site is of State heritage significance as an extremely rare example of an occupation site which comprises a rock shelter with both midden deposit and painted stencils.
The presence of the stencils mark it out as by far the most significant Aboriginal site in the local area, while the number of stencils, the presence of relatively rare forearm plus hand stencils and the very uncommon foot stencils, make it a rare site within the central Sydney region and the State.
This stencil uses red ochre making the white foot stencilled shelter in Undercliffe rare in terms of motif and stencil variation.
The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales.
As a representative example from this region, the site contributes to an appreciation of regional variations across NSW, and therefore has value at a State-wide level as a representative example for cross comparison.

In 1970, F. Hale collected lichens in lowland rain forests and compiled a regional monograph of Relicina and Thelotremataceae in Sri Lanka.
In 1984, Brunnbauer compiled a bibliographic description of lichens in Sri Lanka in 15 fascicles included 550 species belonging to 122 genera and 48 families.
During the coming years, many foreign scientists such as Moberg (1986, 1987), Awasthi (1991), Makhija and Patwardhan (1992), Breuss et al.
The systematic classification of lichen was started in 2012 by Weerakoon and discovered more than 1200 lichen species from the island.
In 2003 during a lichen survey in the Kandy municipal region, about 80 lichen species belonging to 18 families and 32 genera were recorded by Nayanakantha and Gajameragedara.
Of them 33 (66%) were crustose lichens, 11 (22%) foliose, 4 (8%) placcodioid and the remaining 4% were fruticose and squamulose lichens.
In 2013, Weerakoon discovered 51 new varieties of Lichens endemic to Sri Lanka, where 8 of them were found from the Knuckles Mountain Range.

The venues for the 2022 Commonwealth Games are mostly be based in Birmingham and few in Coventry, Royal Leamington Spa, Sandwell and London.
The Alexander Stadium in Perry Barr, which is scheduled to host the ceremonies and athletics, will be renovated at a cost of £72 million.
The stadium's seating capacity will be increased permanently from 12,700 to 18,000 and will allow 40,000 during the Games through additional temporary seating.
A new aquatics centre, scheduled to host the swimming and diving events, is currently being built in Sandwell and is set to be completed in spring 2022.
In August 2017, during the preparation of the Birmingham bid for the 2022 Commonwealth Games, UK Athletics Chief Ed Warner proposed London Stadium in London to host the athletic events and rest of the sporting events would be in Birmingham and West Midlands.
The London Stadium hosted the athletics and the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics as well as the 2017 World Athletic Championships and Para Athletics Championships.
Ed Warner claimed that millions of pounds could be saved by using the London Stadium rather than renovating the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham.
But the Birmingham City Council Leader Ian Ward, one of the committee members of the Birmingham bid, dismissed Warner's idea and decided to use Alexander Stadium as the host of the ceremonies and athletic events of the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
The netball was moved from the Ricoh Arena in Coventry to the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham and the rugby sevens was moved from the Villa Park in Birmingham to the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.
The former venues of those sporting events were decided during the preparation of the Birmingham bid in 2017 and the latter venues were decided in September 2019.
The athletes' village is currently under construction on the site of the former Birmingham City University campus in Perry Barr and is due for completion in early 2022.
The Australian firm Lendlease is constructing the village at a cost of £350 million The Athletes Village will be home to over 6,500 athletes and officials during the Games and will be converted into 1,400 homes for the community following the Games.
The Asan Award in Medicine (frequently written as ASAN Award in Medicine) is an annual medical award presented by the Asan Foundation .
Not to be confused with their other prize, the ASAN Award, which is given for volunteer work, nor the Asan Memorial Poetry Prize given by the Asan Memorial Association in memory of Malayalam poet Kumaran Asan.
Established in 2007, the Asan Award in Medicine is presented in the categories of Basic Medicine, Clinical Medicine, and Young Medical Scientists who are under the age of 40.
For the first five years there was a singular laureate but now there is laureate for basic and clinical and up to three young scientists laureates.
Raised in 2013 to encourage medical research, prize money for the first two categories is 300 million KRW, and for found scientists it is 50 million KRW each.
Yobarnie Keyline Farm is a heritage-listed former experimental farm and now pastoral property at 108 Grose Vale Road, North Richmond, City of Hawkesbury, New South Wales, Australia.
The name was changed at a later date in the 19th century to avoid confusion with Enfield in Sydney's (inner) west.
Following European settlement of the eastern coast of Australia in 1788, Governor Phillip explored the Hawkesbury River and climbed Richmond Hill.
From 1794 European settlers were granted farms in Windsor along South Creek and the earliest grant in Richmond seems to have been 1795.
It was on this site in 1795 that there was a fierce battle between the Dharug inhabitants and soldiers of the colonial government.
Grants at North Richmond along the river date from 1796 and in the early 1800s, larger grants were given to members of the Rouse, Bell and Bowman families, including the land relating to this study which was granted to Archibald Bell.
While in 1813 Wentworth, Blaxland and Lawson successfully crossed the Blue Mountains, it was some ten years later in 1823 that Archibald Bell (Junior), son of Archibald Bell of Belmont, discovered an alternative route over the mountains which is (now) known as Bells Line of Road.
This launched an expansion of land holdings in the west and a constant flow of traffic through North Richmond to Sydney.
A Methodist Church was established in 1857 and Bishop Barker laid the foundation stone of St Phillip's Church of England on 23 May 1859 with a school house completed in 1861.
The burial ground at St.Phillip's Church of England was consecrated in 1861; however the Bell family have their own vault on the site at Belmont Park.
An unusual curved terracotta stair and balustrading in the centre axis leads down to a lower terrace whose centre feature is a sandstone and timber octagonal conservatory dated 1910.
The Charley family entertained lavishly, a feature of these occasions being theatrical performances in the courtyard which was provided with a stage opened by lowering the large window across the proscenium into the cellars.
The property has been developed as a psychiatric (St John of God) hospital and is well recognised as a place of healing and therapy.
The property retains the mansion, gate house, formal driveway with date palm avenue, a garden pavilion/conservatory with grotto and a beautifully manicured and landscaped forecourt with pleasure grounds, all overlooking the Hawkesbury River.
It was on this site in 1795 that there was a fierce battle between the Dharug inhabitants and soldiers of the colonial government.
Yobarnie (together with the adjacent St. John of God Hospital site) formed part of the historic core of the Belmont pastoral estate, developed by Archibald Bell from c.1804.
Yeomans, a retired mining engineer purchased two properties (Nevallan and Yobarnie) and, on Yobarnie, began conducting experiments in soil conservation and enrichment, erosion control and water management, based on his engineering insights.
In 1944, the Geography Department of the University of Sydney began using the property for student mapping exercises which ultimately produced a complete contour map that guided future development of the Keyline System.
After a further three years trialling various methods of artificial drainage, he abondoned this approach in favour of the system of deep soil ripping, ploughed contours and dams exploiting the natural topography of the place, that he called the Keyline System.
The favourable results of this work on Yobarnie were then implemented on Nevallan which became the principal site for demonstrating the system.
By the early 1950s, the results achieved attracted numerous visitors to Nevallan and Yeomans' publications describing his discoveries excited the interest of agriculturalists worldwide.
During the following decade, farmers in every corner of the world, confronted with poor soils on steep, undulating terrain adopted the Keyline method.
In 2009, most of Yobarnie was purchased by a land development company which received planning permission from Hawkesbury City Council to construct a seniors' living facility on the portion of the property adjacent to the existing suburb of North Richmond.
Local residents and members of the sustainable farming (permaculture) community became concerned that further development would obliterate the physical evidence of Yeomans' achievements and, in June, 2009, nominated the properties for heritage listing.
It demonstrates the essential elements of Yeoman's Keyline System: the undulating terrain; the current hydrology of the place, as managed by the Keyline System - i.e.
how water behaves there and both the big-picture and fine-grain biophysical effects of this; the dams; the ploughed contours and the resulting increased, enriched and productive topsoil.
The contours and dams of the original Keyline system are readily apparent to anyone acquainted with the system, despite their neglected and overgrown condition.
Of the original 12 dams, 10 remain as built, although neglected and unmaintained, damage to dam walls by cattle appears negligible and easily repaired.
As at 6 December 2012, Yobarnie was one of the properties (the other was Nevallan) on which the Keyline system of soil improvement, erosion control, water storage, cultivation and irrigation on undulating topography was first developed and demonstrated from the mid-1940s.
Yobarnie (with Nevallan) is unique in its ability to demonstrate the principles of the Keyline system of agriculture, on the site where this system was first developed, trialled and demonstrated.
Yobarnie Keyline Farm was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 8 March 2013 having satisfied the following criteria.
Yobarnie is of state heritage significance as the place in which the Keyline system of soil improvement, water storage,cultivation and irrigation on undulating topography was first developed and demonstrated.
The place has a strong or special association with a person, or group of persons, of importance of cultural or natural history of New South Wales's history.
Yeoman's achievements were recognised internationally by the Prince Philip Design Award, in 1974, and a nationwide poll conducted by Country Life magazine placed him among the top 3 Australians who had contributed most to Australian agriculture.
The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales.
Yobarnie is of state heritage significance as the earliest and still legible evidence of the techniques and systems pioneered by PA Yeomans for soil improvement, water storage, cultivation and irrigation on undulating topography.
In addition to the increased fertility and productivity of the soil subjected to the Keyline regime, by-products of the system include erosion prevention, increased fire safety, significant carbon sequestration and improved wildlife habitat.
The distinctive cultural landscape resulting from this technical achievement is itself aesthetically pleasing and offers considerable scope for contributing to the visual and recreational amenity of any future adaptive reuse.
The place has a strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group in New South Wales for social, cultural or spiritual reasons.
Yobarnie is of state heritage significance for the high esteem in which it held by the state's (and indeed, the country's) agricultural community.
This esteem is evidenced by a nationwide poll conducted by Country Life magazine that placed PA Yeomans among the top 3 Australians who had contributed most to Australian agriculture and by representations received from the practitioners and advocates of Permaculture attesting to the seminal role of the Keyline experiments in subsequent sustainable landuse theory and practice.
The place has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.
Yobarnie is of state heritage significance for its ability to demonstrate not only the principal characteristics of the Keyline system, but also for the evidence of Yeomans' early experiments which led to the perfection of that system.
These attributes have the potential to play a significant ongoing role in the cultural, recreational and economic life of the community.
The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales.
Yobarnie is of state heritage significance for its ability to demonstrate the interaction between topography and poor soil and the Keyline System, which created from this challenging environment the prototype of a viable agricultural landscape now represented worldwide.

Zephyr Surgical Imlants (ZSI) is a Swiss-based medical device manufacturer that produces and distributes artificial urinary sphincters and penile implants worldwide.
ZSI products are used in the management of moderate-to-severe urinary incontinence in men, erectile dysfunction, Peyronie's disease, penis enlargement, female-to-male gender reassignment surgery.
The inflatable penile implant designed for female-to-male gender assignment surgeries was become available in the European market in March 2016, and the first phalloplasty procedures using ZSI 475 FtM implants were performed in June 2016.
Multiple clinical studies have been performed, most of them retrospective, non-randomized trials, with using ZSI 375 artificial urinary sphincter in moderate-to-severe male incontinence.
Success rates of total continence or social continence at average 6-24 months of follow-up period have been reported to vary in the range of 68-89%.
In a prospective study by Ostrowski and others, the social continence and improved continence rates after 12 months of implantation were 59% and 31%, respectively, and the success rate achieved 91% and 79% at 12 and 24 months of follow up, respectively.
He is a member of the Wallace family, which includes his father Mike and uncles Rusty and Kenny, each former NASCAR drivers who competed in the sport for decades to great success.
Mike Wallace was friends with team owner Bill Kimmel, which is how the deal was put together for Matt to race for Kimmel's ARCA team.
Matt Wallace tested at ARCA's Daytona test session in January 2016 leading up to the race at the track in February.
22 Dodge for Cunningham Motorsports, sharing the car in the session with Kevin Thomas Jr, who was set to be the full-time driver of that car for the 2016 season.
However, Wallace's crew chief Paul Andrews did state that Cunningham would try to field an additional car for him at Daytona if sponsorship could be found (and it was not).
On July 10, 2015, it was announced that Matt would make his debut in the Xfinity Series at the New Hampshire race later that month, driving for JGL Racing, the same team that his father Mike drove for in many races in 2014 as well as Daytona in 2015 and his uncle Kenny raced for earlier that year at Talladega.
In addition, he was also scheduled to pilot the car at Iowa and other races yet to be determined, although he only ended up driving at Iowa.
Although he made his debut in the series in 2015, Matt Wallace did have a chance to do so one season earlier, as at the Daytona night race in 2014.
Mike Wallace, JGL, and his sponsor for that race, Smith Transportation, agreed that if Mike got a top-5 finish, the team would give Matt one race in the team's No.
Although his father did finish in the top-10 in the race, it was not a top-5, so Matt did not get to run for the team that year.
He has not made any NASCAR or ARCA starts since 2015, but he is still racing, competing in super late model events in the CARS Series, sometimes against his cousin Steve, who also now competes in CARS late models after competing full-time for several years in the Xfinity Series.
In 2019, he launched his own driver development program to give other drivers an opportunity to compete in super late models as well.
He grew up in the Charlotte, North Carolina area (where the majority of race teams are based) although his family is from St. Louis.
When he made his debut in both ARCA and Xfinity in 2015, he was attending classes at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, and expressed a desire to attend UNC-Charlotte after graduating from RCCC, studying business administration at both schools.

He was the winner of the Mottard and Amic awards from the French Academy in 1987 and 2009 respectively, the Prix Renaudot in 2013 and the Prix Cazes in 2015.
Despite describing acts of pedophillia in his books, Matzneff remained sheltered from any criminal prosecution for a long time and benefited from wide support within the French literary world.
His family raised him in a refined cultural environment, rubbing shoulders with such famous French figures as Léon Chestov and Nicolas Berdiaev.
Matzneff spent a year attending the Gerson private Catholic school (1943–1944), two in Lycée Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague (1944–1946), then moved to a school in Tannenberg from between 1946 and 1952, and from 1952 attended Lycée Carnot.
After completed his military service in Algeria from between 1959 and 1960, Matzneff returned to Paris in 1961, enrolled in Russian at the Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales and began a career as a journalist..
He met Henry de Montherlant in June 1957 and remained his friend, in spite of quarrels, until his suicide on September 21, 1972.
On the nights of March 21st and 22, 1973, Matzneff dispersed the ashes of Montherlant with the 'executor of the latter, Jean-Claude Barat, on the Roman Forum and in the Tiber'.
, then publication director of the daily Combat, noticed Matzneff's work and in October 1962 asked him to write a daily column on television every Thursday.
In the 1970s, especially in 1970 and 1971, he made numerous trips to the Middle East, in particular to Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and, later, to Libya.
Despite describing acts of pedophillia in his books, Matzneff remained sheltered from any criminal prosecution for a long time and benefited from a large support within the literary world.

It was created in 1841, by the merger of two previous electoral districts of the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada, Dorchester and Beauce.
Under the previous legislation, enacted in 1829, the former district of Dorchester had been based on the seigniory of Lauzon, on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence, near Lévis.
The Dorchester electoral district was thus south of Quebec City, between the Saint Lawrence and the border with the United States, in the current Chaudière-Appalaches administrative region.
It was succeeded by electoral districts of the same name in the House of Commons of Canada and the Legislative Assembly of Quebec.
It has its source in the easternmost foothills of the Sistema Central at roughly 1,310 m above sea level, formed upon the confluence of smaller streams, although it feeds downstream from right-bank tributaries born at a higher altitude, namely: the and the .
Running southwards through the Spanish province of Guadalajara, it empties in the Henares at 700 m above sea level, near Humanes.

Newcastle Government House is a heritage-listed former military post and official residence and now park and psychiatric hospital at 72 Watt Street, Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.
It is also known as Newcastle Government House and Domain, Newcastle Military Barracks & Hospital, Girls' Industrial School, Reformatory for Girls, Lunatic Asylum for Imbeciles, James Fletcher Hospital and Fletcher Park.
The Newcastle Government House and Domain has significant associations with convictism in Australia as a site central to the management of convict labour, early coal mining technology and the development and growth of the Australian economy.
The earliest European use of the site was the Commandant's Residence (also known as Government House) where the Commandant, Lieutenant Charles Menzies controlled the penal settlement.
The same location is also shown in artworks by Joseph Lycett, Walter Preston and Edward Close and these are particularly significant because they show Newcastle's Government House and gardens.
After 1823, most of the convicts were transferred to Port Macquarie, however many prisoners remained in Newcastle until 1855 to carry out public works projects such as the construction of Macquarie Pier and other works.
Furthermore, the association between the former military barracks buildings and the port initiative (the pier) is of significance to capital works programs of the Colonial Government, convictism and early technology in Australia.
The employment of convicts to construct Macquarie Pier was in the economic interest of the Colony and this site was significant in supporting this progress.
Having started in 1814 with a small population of approximately 100 convicts and guards, but it would become the major penal settlement of the Australian colonies, accommodating up to one thousand convicts.
Coal mining in Newcastle provided the first profit ever made in the fledgling Colony of New South Wales of - 2 pounds, 5 shillings - in 1801.
Convict labour was used to work mines located at Colliers Point (these were horizontal drifts) and on the hillside near Government House, the first working vertical shaft sunk for the production of coal in Australia (on the current James Fletcher Hospital site).
The site is also associated with Benjamin Grainger who was sent to Newcastle in 1812 to assist in coal mining in the area, later becoming Superintendent of the coal mines, in 1820.
The military was present in the settlement to manage the convict population and to supervise work in the mines and the construction of the Macquarie Pier.
A small rail system for haulage was used to take coal to the port directly downhill from the mine site to be loaded onto ships for export.
The transport of coal to the port forged a thoroughfare which then became the main street of the township, George Street (now known as Watt Street).
The Commandant had his residence in a prominent place at the top of this street where he was able to view what was happening in the settlement, including work at Collier's Point and Nobbys Island.
Twenty seven men were described as employed in the working of the mine and the mouth of the shaft immediately adjoined the offices of the Commandant's House.
It was not until the 1900s that a mine subsidence report provided more detail about the existence of the convict mines.
In the 1940s Jonathon Dixon carried out research on the site and attempted to locate the position of the first convict coal shaft by surveying an early map.
Dr B W Champion (1949) also supports Dixon's location of the convict coal mine, adding that it was sunk approximately 20 yards inside the Mental Hospital gates.
Dixon argues that the subsidence revealed both the position of the old convict mine shaft and the position of the Commandant's House or Government House.
Evidence of the shaft was later covered up and is not obvious today, although it is reported to be under the roadway of the main road leading into the hospital.
The position of the former Wallis Shaft inside the asylum entrance is shown on a plan by the Colonial Architect James Barnet in 1880.
Lachlan Macquarie on his tour to the northern settlements in 1821 stated in his journal that he stayed at Government House in Newcastle, finding it very comfortable.
The future of the coal mining industry was important to Governor Macquarie as is shown in his laying of the foundation stone to build the Macquarie Pier in 1818.
This was a major colonial public works project, undertaken to join the mainland with Nobbys Island and establish a safe port entrance to facilitate the coal export trade.
The Newcastle Government House and Domain contains the original site of the Church of England parsonage erected in 1819 and home to Reverend George Augustus Middleton, Newcastle's first chaplain.
In the 1830s part of the land granted to the Church of England as a glebe was returned to the Government for building a new military barracks.
Reception House and Kirkwood House have recently been demolished in June 2008 to make way for the construction of a new 20-bed mental Health facility.
Reception House was a direct and tangible link to the convict-built parsonage and nearby Christ Church Cathedral buildings and a significant purpose-designed mental health facility which marked an innovation in mental health care.
Government Architect Walter Liberty Vernon kept some of the original fabric of the old parsonage in the structure of the new additions to Kirkwood House.
From the 1830s there was an increase of military protection of Newcastle in order to protect its coal resources and hence the colony's economy.
The Governor visited Newcastle to lay foundation stone for the new barracks on the hill near the parsonage house in 1836.
One of Barney's first tasks was to report on steps that needed to be taken in order to protect the colony from attacks by foreign vessels and he recommended that batteries and blockhouses be constructed in Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, Port Macquarie and Port Phillip.
The first projects undertaken by Barney were for the construction of new barracks at Paddington in Sydney (Victoria Barracks) and Newcastle.
A convict chain gang in Newcastle was employed to build the foundations for the officers quarters and soldiers barracks in 1838, as well as to create the military parade ground.
However later in 1848 some convicts returned to Newcastle to build public works accompanied by a military guard which was accommodated in the new barracks.
The barracks remained in use for civil service accommodation until 1867 when it became the Girls' Industrial School and later the Reformatory for Girls.
Newcastle was the fourth main government-run asylum to be opened in New South Wales, the others located at Tarban Creek, Parramatta, the first being at Castle Hill, which later become a gaol.
A common theme throughout the life of the asylum was community dissatisfaction with having such an institution located in the centre of the city.
When an asylum was first suggested, the residents of Newcastle were so opposed to the plan that they held a public meeting which consisted of 400 Newcastle residents at the Newcastle Court House.
On 4 December 1866 the Colonial Secretary's Office notified the Bench of Magistrates in Newcastle that the proposed plan would not go ahead.
When it was suggested for a second time, a Newcastle newspaper, the Chronicle stated that it was dangerous to have insane people living in such close proximity to residents.
Frederick Manning was the Inspector General of the Insane and oversaw all lunatic asylums in New South Wales; he is credited with implementing many improvements to the site and with the introduction of moral therapy, believing that young imbeciles and idiots should be kept apart from the older insane people.
Manning's decision to separate the imbelices and idiots required extra space, at a time when overall patient numbers were increasing, due in part to the effects of the 1890s depression.
Manning had intended to have the younger patients housed on a separate site, but the government's funding was limited during the depressin so additional wards were constructed.
The first of these additional wards was constructed in 1892 and accommodated 24 girls at the northern end of the asylum grounds, behind the court house.
A visit from the Deputy Inspector General of Mental Hospitals in 1918 found the newer wards of a high standard but determined that the older buildings were in poor condition.
Such problems were addressed during the mid to late 1920s, and included improvements in bathroom facilities, the removal of single rooms in the women's section to create a spacious dining and day room and the creation of a larger space in the men's division by removing two of the single rooms.
In 1965, the Shortland Clinic was built to serve outpatients, a model copied at other hospitals such as Royal North Shore Hospital.
In 1983 the name of the hospital changed to Hunter Hospital and in 1989 the name was again changed to be named the James Fletcher Hospital after James Fletcher, an important figure in Newcastle during the late 19th Century.
Its use as a public park was promoted in 1878 after Frederick Cane the Superintendant of the Asylum for Imbeciles had undertaken to make the park more attractive by planting ornamental shrubs and trees.
There were numerous outbuildings to Government House and an artwork completed in1820 (artist unknown) shows these as well as a path to the left of the building leading uphill.
Newcastle Government House & Domain cultural landscape includes the area currently occupied by the James Fletcher Hospital located east of the Newcastle central business district and is bounded by Ordinance Street to the south, Newcomen Street to the west and Church Street to the north.
The east boundary of the hospital is Watt street and also includes Fletcher Park situated opposite the hospital entrance and the convict coal mines from 1814-17.
Two convict coal mines exist on the current hospital grounds, one is approximately 20-25 metres inside the main Watt Street entrance, named Asylum Coal Shaft No.
Asylum Coal Shaft No.2 is in the courtyard behind the former military hospital, south west corner of the site; it is capped but not filled.
Both of these shafts are connected to horizontal workings at the coal seam below and to drainage adits running to the nearby seaside cliffs.
One adit is visible in the cliff at Newcastle South beach (hand-hewn); it is a horizontal shaft and has been cut into the rock face of the cliff, in an ovoid shape.
The adit is located about 5 metres above the ground and approximately 1.5m tall x 0.5 m wide at the top and 0.75 m wide at the bottom.
It is unknown where the adit leads; however it does go west towards the nominated site and possibly is linked with the known vertical shafts (asylum shafts).
The adit drains water from the mine by gravity, it would appear from the outside that the adit has minimal obstructions and often has water draining from it.
The front of the original building was demolished in the mid 1800s for the realignment of Church Street; however a significant portion of the parsonage was retained when additions were made to Reception House by Architect Walter Vernon.
Remains of the old parsonage (1819) were found, including sections of wall, a cellar and other relics as evidence of the convict period.
The convict brickwork (floor/foundations) was in excellent condition (for its age), and represents building methods and techniques used in the convict era.
Originally built as a retaining wall for the excavated site, then it was later retained for privacy for patients of the mental institution.
The walls were constructed from brickwork dated at different periods, and the significant sections of the stone wall in the lower sections of the compound wall may relate to the 1830s when the site was quarried using convict labour.
The exposed rock has eroded somewhat due to environmental conditions; however this landscape remains a noticeable and strong feature of the site, the quarried section that formed a wall runs the full length of the southern boundary.
The parade ground remains an open parkland and grassy area that has not been hindered or interrupted with significant development (except in the case of the Shortland Clinic, which although is not built directly on the oval, does detract visually from the openness of the former military establishment).
Significant vistas remain across all areas of the site because the recreation ground is in the centre of the collection of buildings.
This park is situated directly across the road (Watt Street) from the current James Fletcher Hospital, on the east side of the precinct.
The park is reasonably well-maintained by Newcastle City Council; much of the open space has remained undisturbed, with the exception of the garden beds on the west side (Watt Street), which were replaced in 2005.
This work may have disturbed archaeological remains of the former Newcastle Government House (also known as Commandant's Residence) that existed on the site.
However Gate House () is a significant heritage building related to the military phase of the hospital and contributes greatly to other building on the site, but is not part of the heritage listing.
As at 21 September 2010, the Newcastle Government House and Domain site forms a complex, multi-layered cultural landscape, physically transformed by convict labour and providing evidence of the early colonial settlement of Newcastle as well as of the subsequent technical, economic and social development of the city and the state.
Newcastle Government House was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 22 March 2011 having satisfied the following criteria.
It meets this criterion of State significance because it demonstrates patterns of economic and social development of the early colonial period from government-controlled and convict-worked industry, to the arrival of free labour and the beginnings of private enterprise.
The place is an exceptional example of the forced migration of convicts (Vinegar Hill rebels) and the development associated with punishment and reform, particularly convict labour and the associated coal mines.
The place is culturally significant because of its representation in historical records and visual sources from the early 1800s, showing the changes in the landscape.
It demonstrates an important aspect of law and order through its history as a military barracks and as the source of supervision required for the prisoners who remained in Newcastle to complete the Macquarie Pier.
The James Fletcher Hospital site is unique as a coastal urban Lunatic Asylum (1871- present) and is representative of Australian Colonial asylum culture.
The place has a strong or special association with a person, or group of persons, of importance of cultural or natural history of New South Wales's history.
The place is closely associated with Governor Macquarie who implemented Colonial public works projects like coal mining that later sustained the economic growth of the Colony.
The place has a strong association with the Commandants of Newcastle from 1804-23, including Lieutenant Charles Menzies, Charles Throsby, Commandant Wallis and Major Morisset.
The site is also significant for its association with Captain George Barney, one of Australia's most important Colonial Engineers during the mid 19th Century, (whose works include the Victoria Barracks in Paddington and the design of Circular Quay) and with Dr Frederick Manning Norton, who made a considerable contribution to the welfare of the insane and the improvement of mental health care in NSW.
The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales.
The site has a high degree of aesthetic significance for its position toward the top of the eastern side of the Hill area and has remained virtually intact since first dedicated.
Many individuals have found creative inspiration from its landscape since 1804 and their artistic works have documented the transformation of this unique place shaped by human intervention (e.g.
Ferdinand Bauer and Joseph Lycett)The place is an early example of a Colonial public works project (Military Barracks) as well as the natural landscape transformed by convict labour.
The James Fletcher Hospital site has a rare amalgamation of 1840s Military Barracks buildings, including the Parade Ground surviving in an excavated and walled site.
The site contains the first vertical mine shafts used for commercial mining of coal in Australia, a valuable insight into the mining techniques and knowledge used in the Colony.
The place shows innovative and technical achievement related to masonry and quarrying techniques to build the military establishment, as well as skillfulness of design in the reshaping of the landscape to construct these buildings.
The place has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.
An important site of early interaction between Aboriginal and European people, the place may have potential to contribute new knowledge about the relationship between these two cultures in the colonial period.
Features of this cultural landscape, including the early convict coal mines, have the potential to provide new information about colonial and convict life in NSW.
The place has potential contribute to a better understanding of the nature of construction techniques used in the convict-era, of early Australian industrial convict sites, of convicts as a cultural group and of the contribution made by their forced labour.
The place is rare in NSW because its landscape was physically shaped by convict labour, a landscape that remains visible today.
The place is nationally rare because if possesses an intact military barracks and military hospital and parade ground, both constructed using convict labour.
The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales.
The place is also representative of colonial lunatic asylums in NSW and was the first regional lunatic asylum in the Colony.

There is a theory that it is similar to the poltergeist phenomenon because it is a monster that makes the sound of red beans in a house without appearing, and it is a monster with only sound.
As mentioned above, when the room was quiet, there was a loud noise as if stepping over the ceiling, followed by the sound of sowing beans.
The sound gradually grew, and in the end, the sound was as loud as a one-tooth (about 18 litres) red bean.

S62 is a star in the cluster surrounding Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way.
With an orbital period of only 9.9 years, it beats the previous record holder, the star S0-102, which circles Sgr A* in 12.8 years.
In addition, S62 has a very eccentric orbit which makes it pass very close to Sgr A*, only 5.2 astronomical units (780 million km), that is to say the distance between Jupiter and the Sun.
The star therefore passes only about 60 times the Schwarzschild radius of Sgr A* (the Schwarzschild radius of Sgr A * is approximately 0.08 AU, or 12 million km).
It is much closer to Sgr A* than the previous record, around 120 AU (18 billion km, 1,440 Schwarzschild radius), held by the star S2 (also designated S0-2).
S62 passes so close to Sgr A* that its orbit has a very large precession: its orbit shifts by about 10 degrees with each revolution.
The discovery of S62 has also enabled a new estimate of the mass of Sgr A*: (4.15 ± 0.6) million solar masses, a value fully compatible with previous estimates.

The mainstream media has described them as having many causes in common, as influencing each other and as having many differences in specific causes.
Larrère described the 2019 protests as having historical precedents including the 1820, 1848 and 1989 revolutionary waves, the protests of 1968, and the 2011 wave of the Arab Spring.
Larrère claimed that the differences in triggers for the various protests were misleading for understanding the nature of the protests, favouring rebellion against economic austerity programs and calls for more democracy as underlying causes.
A sizable number of these protests are partaken by protesters from across the political spectrum, notably the Yellow Vests in France were originally a far-right movement protesting against the Migration Crisis and a rise in domestic fuel tax, whereas the protests in India were also originally by Assamese protesters fighting against liberal immigration policies.
One of the measures undertaken by the Government of Hong Kong in response to the city's protests was to increase the amount of social security and labor rights available to its citizens, though protesters themselves do not agree that the measures are enough to placate their demands.
A major plank of the Gillet Jaunes in France is to oppose an Eco tax, a rise in the fuel duty and the liberal policies of Macron.
Immigration has also played a major role during the various protests, such as the immigration of Mainland Chinese into Hong Kong, the Migration Crisis in France,or the migration from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan into India.
The United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union (Brexit) was also achieved in part by voters protesting against the EU's freedom-of-movement and the collective European response to the Migration Crisis.
Dawn Brancati and Adrian Lucardi dispute the diffusion model, arguing that they have statistical evidence on protests during 1989–2011 that fail to support the diffusion model across neighbouring countries.

She described the coordination between the elites of the middle class with the working class as creating an explosive situation, documented in research into the yellow vest movement.
Many of the protests were frequently characterised as being organised in a leaderless way, including those in Algeria, Hong Kong, Lebanon and Iraq.
Sanjoy Chakravorty, a global studies researcher at Temple University, argued that the leaderlessness was an advantage to protestors in that it made the protest movements difficult to repress, but a disadvantage in that the lack of leadership structures would lead to the protests not being sustained and not inducing long-term political change.
Mathilde Larrère described the common symbols of the 2019 protests as including symbols, including masks, that worked in one place and were imitated in others, accelerated by the Internet, and a weak role of traditionally organised workers' and anarchist movements.
In early 2018, Chan Tong-kai, a citizen of Hong Kong, was suspected of killing his girlfriend whilst in Taiwan and then returning to Hong Kong, thereby avoiding law enforcement in Taiwan.
He was unable to be extradited back to Taiwan due to a lack of any extradition treaties between the polities of Greater China.
This caused a political controversy after the Government of Hong Kong attempted to establish extradition treaties remedying the situation, leading to widespread protests in early 2019.
The 2019 Hong Kong extradition bill was seen as a threat to Hong Kong's autonomy from the People's Republic of China.
These protests follow the 2011 Occupy Hong Kong protests and the 2014 umbrella movement, in which protesters were mainly fighting against social and economic inequality.
In a direct link with other protests, on 24 October 2019, 1000 Hong Kong protestors held a rally to express solidarity with the Catalan protests.
The solidarity rally was supported by well-known activists including Joshua Wong, Lester Shum, Tommy Cheung, Brian Leung Kai-ping, Benny Tai and Andy Chan Ho-tin.

The Citizenship Amendment Act protests in India started in December 2019 against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, which was passed by the parliament on 11 December.
The protests were initiated by the effects of the legislation and related policies on social issues, such as religious discrimination, the cultural impact of illegal immigration into North-East India and later proceeded to include issues of police brutality on protesters and rising authoritarianism.
The ruling right-wing party, the BJP, has implemented a decades-old electoral pledge allowing Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, Jain and Parsi refugees from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh to gain citizenship in India on the grounds of religious persecution of these minorities in the three Muslim nations.
The act alongside the proposal for the National Citizenship Register was seen as an attempt at revoking the citizenship of millions of Indian Muslims.
The successful passage of the citizenship act in 2019, led to protests throughout India; the protesters of North-East India oppose all forms of illegal immigration from the said Muslim-majority countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan), whereas protesters throughout the rest of India are concerned about discrimination against Muslims; furthermore, protesters have been concerned about police entering university campuses in relation to the protests by North-East Indians and Muslims.
The protests have been supported by various political parties, human rights groups, civil society groups and students organisations, with the protests spread throughout India.
The protests have seen clashes on university campuses, counter-protests held by opposing student groups and political parties and numerous spontaneous protests.
There were additional protests over incidents of police brutality and misconduct on the campuses of Jawaharlal Nehru University on 5 January, Jamia Millia Islamia on 15 December and in various parts in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
Some have also opposed to the exclusion of immigrants from Non-Muslim countries, such as Bhutan, Nepal (see Lhotshampas) and Sri Lanka (see Tamils).
The 2019 Indonesian protests and riots broke out in response to various controversial bill revisions and proposals, particularly surrounding the partial dissolution of power on the country's Corruption Eradication Commission in RUU KPK , and the criminalization of extramarital sex and abortions via RUU RKUHP .
Both bills – along with the few groups demanding better mining and labour operations – incited major protests across the country, primarily in Jakarta and Yogyakarta on the island of Java.
The protests were largely orchestrated by university students and high schoolers; upon the protests' initiation, several universities across the archipelago began cancelling classes in favour of demonstrating against the new law revisions, with lecturers joining the protests.

Pōhā are traditional Māori bags made from southern bull kelp, which are used to carry and store food and fresh water, to propagate live shellfish, and to make clothing and equipment for sports.
The kelp blades have a 'honeycomb' structure, which allows them to be split open, hollowed out (pōhā hau) and inflated into containers.
Pōhā are used to transport food, fresh water, to enclose food within an oven, and to transport and propagate live seafood such as shellfish (including toheroa), sea stars and pāua in a process referred to as whakawhiti kaimoana.
Members of Ngāi Tahu used inflated pōhā to protect their bodies (like a wetsuit) while foraging for seafood, and stories by the iwi indicate that pōhā were used for surfing in a sport called kauai or kaukau.

The Conference on the Future of Europe is a political body of the European Commission and the European Parliament, announced in the end of 2019, and since then being prepared to determine new agreements, or amendments to the existing ones, on the future of European democracy during 2020–2022.
The Conference consists of the Parliament, the Council and the Commission and is tasked to draft new EU laws and changes to the EU treaties.
The usual way of involving citizens in the EU is that of opinion surveys, citizens' consultations, talks (dialogues, debates) and, since 2012, accepting petitions with proposals.
Followed by a final pan-European one in Brussels, with participants from all the cities that had organised a debate, and with the participation of the President of the Commission, the Commissioners and representatives of the European Parliament and with national and local politicians.
Whereas Šuica is primarily tasked with the preparation of the Conference in collaboration with the European Parliament, Jourová is designated to represent the Commission at the Conference.
Šefčovič's main responsibility lies in the follow-up on the results of the Conference, which shall be undertaken jointly with the European Council, the Council of the European Union, and the European Parliament.
On 16 October 2019, the Conference of Presidents of the European Parliament decided to set up a Working Group on the Conference on the Future of Europe.
The Working Group is composed of one representative per political group in the European Parliament and one representative from the Committee on Constitutional Affairs (AFCO), however, some in the Working Group are also in the AFCO.
In parallel to the sessions of the Working Group on the Future of Europe, the Committee on Constitutional Affairs (AFCO) is in a process of deliberation.
In November 2019, the Committee on Constitutional Affairs (AFCO) began their debate on how to shape the structure and scope of the Conference.
On the involvement of citizens, some have underlined that the criteria for selection would be important in ensuring inclusive participation in respect of diversity and gender balance.
The Franco-German announcement, on the 26 November 2019, of the Conference on the Future of Europe has led to more widespread media coverage on the topic.
From 2020 to 2022, debates will begin first on the democratic functioning of the EU and then on all other controversial topics.
Given the difficulties of securing approval, it is possible that Europe’s future does not lie in a general treaty change but, instead, in ... treaties between subsets of E.U.
The mountain was named for the ibex, as part of the ungulate theme for several other nearby peaks that were submitted by Philip Kubik of Vancouver.
In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Ibex Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Range where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.

The Empire Hotel, Kandy or Olde Empire Hotel, is a small two-storey heritage hotel located on Temple Road in the Kandy city centre.
The hotel is located opposite the park/garden (Mahamaluwa) of the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa), adjacent to Queens Hotel and the former Kandy court complex.
The hotel was opened on 27 December 1898 by Porolis C. Fernando and it has been operated by the Fernando family ever since.
In 1998 it was designated as a 'Conserved Building' by the UNESCO as part of the listing of Kandy as a World Heritage City.
The Victorian-style building, features three white stone arches on the ground floor, with an open verandah and cast iron balustrades on the first floor, supported by four stone doric columns, and a half round tile roof.
The upstairs verandah commands a view over Kandy Lake and provides a viewing platform for guests to watch the Kandy Esala Perahera.
The hotel was used as a pub in the 1940s/50s but was converted by the owners into a guest house/budget hotel in the 1970s.
In January 2014 Manor House Concepts took over the lower floor of the building and renovated the two downstairs dinning rooms into a single café, fronting Temple Street.
Rachael Emily Poole (née 'Mallerson; June 13, 1860, London -- April 9, 1937, Oxford) was an historian of portraiture, with a particular focus on miniatures, active in the United Kingdom.

Valerie Purdie Greenaway, who has also published under the surnames Purdie-Vaughns and Purdie, is an American social psychologist and associate professor of psychology at Columbia University.
After finishing at Columbia in 1993, she spent a few years working at the I Have A Dream Foundation, where she worked on summer camp programs and mentoring for underserved third grade students.
An interest in better tracking her students' progress led her back towards psychology, and she spent three years working as the lab manager for Geraldine Downey.
She then started a position at Columbia University, eventually becoming an associate professor and director of a laboratory group in the psychology department in 2014.
She served as core faculty for the Robert Wood Johnson Health & Society Scholars Program, which was discontinued in February 2017.
Purdie Greenaway's laboratory group uses an interdisciplinary approach to study a wide range of topics that assess how social groups and human behavior interact.
Purdie Greenaway and Eibach wanted to move away from the notion that one group suffers more than others and instead gain a better understanding of how an individual's identities interact to inform their whole experience.
Researchers conducted five studies to determine how salience to stereotypes might affect visual processing for their sample of both police officers and civilians.
The concept of rejection sensitivity was developed by another team of researchers to indicate how rejection can influence an individual's relationships with others.
Purdie Greenaway and her colleagues looked at this cognitive process as it relates to African Americans attending predominantly White educational institutions.
The RS–Race Questionnaire (RSQ–Race) for African Americans has subsequently been used in other psychological literature as a measure of racial expectations and beliefs.

In graph theory, the hypergraph removal lemma states that when a hypergraph contains few copies of a given sub-hypergraph, then all of the copies can be eliminated by removing a small number of hyperedges.
The hypergraph removal lemma states that for any formula_4, there exists formula_5 such that the following is true: if formula_6 is any formula_7-vertex formula_2-regular hypergraph with at most formula_9 subgraphs isomorphic to formula_1, then it is possible to eliminate all copies of formula_1 from formula_6 by removing at most formula_13 hyperedges from formula_6.
An equivalent formulation is that, for any graph formula_6 with formula_16 copies of formula_1, we can eliminate all copies of formula_1 from formula_6 by removing formula_20 hyperedges.
We prove a hypergraph version of Szemerédi's regularity lemma (partition hypergraphs into pseudorandom blocks) and a counting lemma (estimate the number of hypergraphs in an appropriate pseudorandom block).
However, for formula_21, if we simply regulate formula_22-hyperedges using only 1-hyperedge, we will lose information of all formula_23-hyperedges in the middle where formula_24, and fail to find a counting lemma.
To gain more control of the formula_25-hyperedges, we can go a level deeper and partition on formula_28-hyperedges to regulate them, etc.
We then subsequently define a regular partition as a partition in which the triples of parts that are not regular constitute at most an formula_40 fraction of all triples of parts in the partition.
The high level idea of the proof is that, we construct a hypergraph from a subset without any length formula_22 arithmetic progression, then use graph removal lemma to show that this graph cannot have too many hyperedges, which in turn shows that the original subset cannot be too big.
Clearly, if formula_54 doesn't have length formula_22 arithmetic progression in formula_58, it also doesn't have length formula_22 arithmetic progression in formula_55.
We will construct a formula_22-partite formula_25-regular hypergraph formula_6 from formula_54 with parts formula_65, all of which are formula_66 element vertex sets indexed by formula_55.
For each formula_68, we add a hyperedge among vertices formula_69 if and only if formula_70 Let formula_1 be the complete formula_22-partite formula_25-regular hypergraph.
Thus, for each hyperedge formula_69, we can find a unique copy of formula_1 that this edge lies in by finding formula_88.
Since every hyperedge of formula_6 is in a unique copy of formula_1, to eliminate all copies of formula_1 in formula_6, we need to remove at least formula_99 edges.
This method usually does not give a good quantitative bound, since the hidden constants in hypergraph removal lemma involves the inverse Ackermann function.

Epstein was a powerful figure with controversial connections to several other prominent figures, and his reported suicide generated numerous theories about the nature and cause of his death.
Gaining traction on social media, the meme speculating that the American financier and convicted sex offender was murdered soon gained widespread prominence.
It is used by individuals on all sides of the political spectrum without agreement on the specific details of Epstein's death.
On August 10, 2019, American financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was found unresponsive in his Metropolitan Correctional Center jail cell, where he was awaiting trial on new sex trafficking charges.
Due to violations of normal jail procedures on the night of his death, and Epstein's claimed knowledge of compromising information about influential people, his death generated doubt about his apparent suicide and speculation that he was murdered.
Arizona Republican Congressman Paul Gosar shared the meme in a series of 23 tweets where the first letter of each tweet spelled out the phrase.
Australian rapper Matthew Lambert of Hilltop Hoods, after winning the 2019 ARIA Music Award for Best Australian Live Act, included the phrase in his acceptance speech.
Podcast host Joe Rogan and internet personality Tank Sinatra used Instagram to spread the meme to their followers, which in Rogan's case had included Mike Ritland.
Several users on dating apps, such as Tinder and Hinge, have written in their profiles that whether or not a someone accepts the premise of the meme is a relationship deal breaker.
Two beer companies, the Michigan-based Rusted Spoke Brewing Co. and the Californian Tactical OPS Brewing, advertised specialty-branded beers in connection to the meme.
One specific incident saw the meme painted on 7-foot-high boulder and visible to travellers on Washington State Route 9 in Snohomish, causing a bit of controversy in the local community.
Commentators have also suggested that growing distrust of government and the elite played a large factor in its popularity as well.

Since its founding, MTK Global has signed a host of world class fighters, including Tyson Fury, Billy Joe Saunders, Josh Taylor, Carl Frampton, Terry Flanagan, Charlie Edwards, Rocky Fielding, Hughie Fury, Michael Conlan and Paddy Barnes.
MTK Global originally formed as MGM, an acronym for Macklins Gym Marbella, starting out as a boxing gym in Marbella, Spain, in September 2012.
In December 2017, it was announced UFC star Darren Till had signed with the company, marking MTK Global's entry into MMA.
In March 2019, it was announced that MTK Global and Top Rank had signed a multi-year deal that would see MTK's events broadcast exclusively on ESPN platforms in the United States.
In November 2019, it was announced MTK Global had entered a partnership with The Academy of Sports and Education to form the MTK National Boxing and Education Academy, a programme for 16–18 year olds aimed at enabling young people to gain relevant qualifications relating to a career in the sport of boxing, whether that be as a professional boxer, physiotherapist, coach or in sports journalism.
The first academy was opened in London in January 2020, with the goal to roll the programme out across the UK by September.
The tournament will be held across three weight-classes – featherweight, light-welterweight and light-heavyweight – with eight fighters competing in each division and the winners securing a two-year, five-fight contract with MTK Global.
The fights will be aired live on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom and streamed on ESPN+ in the United States.
MTK Global has been criticised in the Irish media for its links to gangland figures, in particular, co-founder Daniel Kinahan, a member of Ireland's notorious Kinahan Cartel.
On 5 February 2016, an alleged associate of the Kinahan Cartel, David Byrne, was shot dead after armed men dressed as Gardaí stormed a boxing weigh-in held at the Regency Hotel in Dublin, Ireland, for an event promoted by MTK Global.
In September 2016, Spanish police raided MGM Marbella in Puerto Banús as part of an international crackdown on the Kinahan Cartel's criminal activities, searching properties in both Spain and Ireland.
One man, Jamie Quinn, said to have worked at the MGM Marbella gym, was arrested at a Spanish airport for the murder of Gary Hutch.
The X17 particle is a hypothetical subatomic particle proposed by Attila Krasznahorkay and his colleagues to explain certain anomalous measurement results.
The particle has been proposed to explain wide angles observed in the trajectory paths of particles produced during a nuclear transition of beryllium-8 atoms and in stable helium atoms.
The X17 particle could be the force carrier for a postulated fifth force, possibly connected with dark matter, and has been described as a protophobic (i.e., ignoring protons) X boson with a mass near .
In 2015, Krasznahorkay and his colleagues at ATOMKI posited the existence of a new, light boson weighing about (34 times heavier than the electron).
In an effort to find a dark photon, the Hungarian team fired protons at thin targets of lithium-7, which created unstable beryllium-8 nuclei that then decayed and produced pairs of electrons and positrons.
proposed that a protophobic X-boson, with a mass of , suppressed couplings to protons relative to neutrons, and electrons at femtometer range, could explain the data.
In November 2019, it was announced by Krasznahorkay that he and his team at ATOMKI had successfully observed the same anomalies in the decay of stable helium atoms as had been observed in beryllium-8, strengthening the case for the existence of the X17 particle.
This was covered in science journalism, focusing largely on the implications that the existence of the X17 particle and a corresponding fifth force would have in the search for dark matter.
The ATOMKI group had claimed to find various other new particles earlier in 2016 but abandoned these claims later, without an explanation of what caused the spurious signals.
The X17 particle is not consistent with the Standard Model, so its existence would need to be explained by another theory.

Virginia House of Delegates v. Bethune-Hill, 587 U.S. ___ (2019), was a case argued before the United States Supreme Court in March 18, 2019, in which the Virginia House of Delegates appealed against the decision in 2018 by the district court that 11 of Virginia's voting districts were racially gerrymandered, and thus unconstitutional.
In other words, the court upheld the decision made by a federal district court ruling in June 2018 that 11 state legislative districts were an illegal racial gerrymander.
In 2011, Virginia was subject to Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibited the redistricting process from eliminating districts that were made largely of minority groups to discourage their preferred candidates from taking office.
Delegate Steven Christopher Jones from the Virginia House of Delegates ensured there were 11 voting districts in which 55% of the voters were African American.
On December 22, 2014, in Virginia, 12 voters filed suit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia that the government participated in racial gerrymandering and thus violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
Therefore, the court upheld only one of the districts and dismissed the rest of the case for the district court, allowing the district court to reconsider the constitutionality of the remaining 11 districts.
Eventually, in June 2018, the lower court deemed the 11 districts unconstitutional, concluding that race was a substantial factor in determining the boundaries of the districts.
The Virginia House of Delegates had attempted to place the exact same percentage of African-American voters in each of the districts, claiming that it was necessary to do so in order to comply with federal voting-rights laws.
However, the redrawing of district lines was met with partisan conflicts, as Republicans feared that redrawing the lines would threaten their majority in the House while the Democrats supported an end to Virginia's racial gerrymandering.
Amongst the conflict, the Virginia House of Delegates appealed the decision to the Supreme Court, which agreed to review the case and whether the Virginia House of Delegates had standing to appeal.
The Virginia House of Delegates had filed the appeal independently of Virginia's State Attorney General who claimed the State would not appeal the case.
The plaintiff took the standing that in order to pursue a litigation, the party must be harmed by the resolution of the litigation.
While the State as a primary defendant has standing to litigate, the Virginia House alone is not believed to have standing to litigate.
Justices Thomas, Ginsburg, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Gorsuch all voted in favor of rejecting the appeal while Justices Roberts, Breyer, Alito, and Kavanaugh voted to support it.
Ultimately, the Virginia House Republicans were not successful in their appeal which allowed Democrats to become the majority in the Virginia bicameral legislature in the 2019 elections for the first time since 1995.
However, the court decided that the House of Delegates did not demonstrate standing on its own and thus cannot challenge the result of the case in court.
In order to determine whether the House of Delegates had standing, the court had to consider whether the House represented both the state's interests and its own.
Since the attorney general is not tied to the House of Delegates, the House therefore does not have standing to file an appeal on behalf of Virginia.
The House also never indicated that it was representing the State in the District Court, thus the House was only representing its own interests.
In response to the majority opinion of the court, Justice Samuel Alito, backed by the other dissenting judges, stated that the House did in fact have standing because the new redistricting plan would injure the House by affecting who was elected to it.
Along with the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act ensures that citizens are offered equal representation, specifically through the voting process.
The redrawing of state district lines, also known as redistricting, has a tremendous effect in creating more competition amongst future candidates in the state legislature.

Physical Intelligence, also known as bodily-kinaesthetic intelligence, is any intelligence derived through physical and practical learning such as sports, dance or craftsmanship.
It may refer to the ability to use one's hands to create, to express oneself with one's body, a reliance on tactile mechanisms and movement, and accuracy in controlling body movement.
An individual with high physical intelligence is someone who is adept at using their physical body to solve problems and express ideas and emotions.
The ability to control the physical body and the mind-body connection is part of a much broader range of human potential as set out in Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences.
Often people with high physical intelligence will have excellent hand-eye coordination and be very agile; they are precise and accurate in movement and can express themselves using their body.
Gardner referred to the idea of natural skill and innate physical intelligence within his discussion of the autobiographical story of Babe Ruth; a legendary baseball player who at 15 felt that he has been ‘born’ on the pitcher's mound.
Individuals with a high of bodily-kinesthetic or physical intelligence are likely to be successful in physical careers, including athletes, dancers, musicians, police officers, and soldiers.
A professor of Education at Harvard University, Developmental psychologist Howard Gardner outlined nine types of intelligence, including spatial intelligence and linguistic intelligence amongst others.
His seminal work Frame of Mind was published in 1983 and was influenced by the works of Alfred Binet and the German psychologist William Stern, who originally coined the term Intelligence Quotient (IQ).
He suggested that each individual may possess all of the various forms of intelligence to some extent, but that there so is always a dominant or primary form.
Gardner granted each of the different forms of intelligence equal importance, and he proposed that they have the potential to be nurtured and so strengthened, or ignored and weakened.
However, there have been various critiques of Gardner's work, predominantly due to the lack of empirical evidence used to support his thinking.
His work went on to shape educational pedagogy and influence relevant policy and legislation across the world; with particular reference to how teachers must assess students’ progress to establish the most effective teaching methods for the individual learner.
Gardner's research into the field of learning regarding bodily kinaesthetic intelligence has resulted in the use of activities that require physical movement and exertion, with students with a high level of physical intelligence reporting to benefit from learning through movement in the classroom environment.

The Anabar Plateau is located north of the Arctic Circle in northeastern Krasnoyarsk Krai and northwestern Sakha Republic, SSE of the Taymyr Depression, the central part of the North Siberian Lowland.
It is located north of the Vilyuy Plateau and is the northernmost feature of the Central Siberian Plateau, to which it is connected in the southeast.
The Big Kuonamka, which forms the upper course of the Anabar River, has its source in the plateau and flows in a northeast direction.
River Kotuy cuts from the south across the western side and is joined by its tributary Kotuykan from the highest part of the Anabar Plateau.
The Anabar Plateau of the Central Siberian Plateau is one of the oldest structures on Earth, with rocks that are more than 3 billion years old.
The Anabar Plateau coincides geographically with the Anabar Shield, a geological region that is an exposed basement of the Siberian Craton.
Together with the Aldan Shield further to the southeast, the Anabar Shield is one of the main features of the craton.
There are sparse forests of larch in the lower areas up to a height of and mountain tundra with mosses and lichens in the higher altitudes.
The climate prevailing in the Anabar Plateau is subarctic continental, characterized by a very low average rainfall of less than per year.

Learning from the Germans: Race and the Memory of Evil is a 2019 non-fiction book by Susan Neiman, published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in the United States and by Allen Lane in the United Kingdom.
The author argues that German society had fully atoned for actions done by the country in the past, particularly in World War II, while the United States had not done the same, particularly for Jim Crow violations.
Neiman stated that each country has its particular history but that studying the incidents in Germany shows that society can atone for past crimes and improve even though doing so is a difficult process.
Neiman in particular believes that many Americans lack an understanding of the United States Civil War as well as the Jim Crow period, contributing to issues in American society present in 2019.
Neiman, a Jewish woman, who was born in the Southern United States, had lived there for a portion of her youth.
Neiman's mother, who originated from Chicago, had worked to ensure racial integration at Atlanta Public Schools during the Civil Rights Movement of the mid-20th century.
Neiman resided in Berlin, Germany beginning in 1989 to study the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and resided there for a period of at least 22 years.
The idea came to the book when she noticed American society still celebrating the Confederate States of America even though President of the United States Barack Obama had publicly condemned racism while honoring the victims of the Charleston Church Shooting, which had just happened.
She spent at least three years conducting research for the book; that involved reading works about the post-Nazi Germany period, which describe how Germans initially did not feel guilt about the events.
In addition to interviewing people in Germany, as part of this task she traveled to the United States and conducted interviews there too; she visited Mississippi in that process.
Neiman's friends argued that the United States's crimes were committed too far in the past and were relatively too insigificant for the country to learn from Germany's understanding of the crimes perpetrated by the country, something that the conclusion of the book disagrees with.
The process of the book began prior to the 2016 United States Presidential Election and the Brexit referendum, and she stated that prior to the former she believed the United States was about to absorb messages from historical incidents.
The author completed the book despite concerns that the message may not be absorbed in light of the outcomes of those events.
The book discusses how society in both East Germany and West Germany initially resisted taking responsibility for World War II incidents, but that this understanding developed decades after the war.
This solidified after the reunification of Germany as the two halves could no longer assign blame to the other for atrocities.
According to Neiman, East German society had more thoroughly opposed Nazism than West Germany partly because the latter opposed Soviet-aligned states with people who formerly worked for Nazi Germany.

The University of St Andrews Library dates back to the early 17th century but its books have been collected over some 600 years since the university was founded in 1413.
It holds one of the most extensive collections of the research libraries in the United Kingdom with more than one million volumes.
In addition to 210,000 printed books in special collections, it has large manuscript and photographic collections while its archives date back to the early 15th century.
The library's current role is to support research, scholarship and learning with high-quality services backed by preservation, promotion and exploitation of its collections.
The library was founded by James VI of Scotland in 1612 with gifts from the Royal Family, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Royal Librarian.
Between 1710 and 1836, under the Copyright Deposit Act it was entitled to a copy of every book printed in the British Isles.
In 1783, the Kings James Library, St Mary's College Library and the university's other library facilities were brought together under one roof as the common library in 1783.
As a result of further increases in students and holdings, today's library building was opened on North Street in 1976 where it now holds over a million books.
Faulkner-Brown specialised in libraries and leisure facilities and also designed the National Library of Canada in Ottawa and the Robinson Library at Newcastle University In 2011 the main library building underwent a £7 million re-development.
St Mary's College Library incorporating the King James library from 1643 continues to house the university's Divinity and Medieval History collections.
In 2012 the university purchased the vacant Martyrs' Kirk on North Street, with the purpose of providing reading rooms for the Special Collections department and university postgraduate research students and staff.
Dating from the early Middle Ages, material in the Manuscript Department includes muniments of the university itself as well as estate, business and personal records from the Fife region and the town of St Andrews.
The library's archive contains a rich series of catalogues from its foundation as well as borrowing registers from 1738 to 1925.
It includes early examples of St Andrew's involvement in the history of photography as well as published and unpublished items and albums from the 1840s on.
Of particular importance is the negative archive of picture postcards from Valentine & Sons of Dundee from the mid-19th century to the 1960s.
The rare books collections comprise over 50 named collections comprising gifts from other libraries and subject-based collections based on illustrated children's literature and photographically illustrated books.
The historic Copyright Music Collection consists of some 400 bound volumes, most of the music dating from the 1790s to the 1820s.

The note attempted to justify the previous day's cabinet reshuffle, carried out by Prime Minister Manuel Portela Valladares with the support of President Niceto Alcalá-Zamora, by describing it as 'a necessary effort to create a Republican center'.
In the run-up to the 1936 Spanish general elections, Portela and the PCD initially tried to forge an alliance with the political left.
However, by the time the elections took place this number had fallen to 78 - the result of numerous defections; with only 23 securing places on 'broader center-right coalition tickets'.
This total later fell to 18 when elections in Cuenca and Granada were re-held in an attempt to mitigate the impact of acts of electoral fraud carried out by the political right.
5 members of the PCD were the only deputies to vote against the removal of Alcalá-Zamora as President of the Republic.

Previously all weightlifters above the light heavyweight (82.5 kg) class competed together in the heavyweight class; this new middle heavyweight class featured weightlifters between 82.5 kg and 90 kg.
The weightlifter could increase the weight between attempts (minimum of 5 kg between first and second attempts, 2.5 kg between second and third attempts) but could not decrease weight.
If two or more weightlifters finished with the same total, the competitors' body weights were used as the tie-breaker (lighter athlete wins).
Because the weight class was new to the Olympics, there was certain to be an initial Olympic record in each lift as well as the total.
Schemansky, however, broke his own world records from the 1951 World Weightlifting Championships in two of the lifts as well as the combined score.
Novak, who had set the world record in the press earlier in the year at 143 kg, was not able to match that score but still led handily in that lift at 140 kg (12.5 kg over Schemansky's second-place 127.5 kg).

This enzyme modifies DNA by catalyzing the transference of a methyl group from the S-adenosyl-L methionine substrate to the N6 position of an adenine base in the sequence 5'-GANTC-3' with high specificity.
Methylations are epigenetic modification that, in eukaryotes, regulates processes as cell differentiation, and embryogenesis, while in prokaryotes can have a role in self recognition, protecting the DNA from being cleaved by the restriction endonuclease system, or for gene regulation.
The swarmer cell has a single flagellum and polar pili and is characterized by its mobility, while the stacked cell has a stalk and is fixed to the substrate.
The stacked cell enters immediately in S-phase, while the swarmer cell stays in G1-phase and will differentiate to a stacked cell before entering the S-phase again.
The stacked cell in S phase will replicate its DNA in a semiconservative manner producing two hemimethylated DNA double strands that will be rapidly methylated by the Methyltransferase CcrM, which is only produced at the end of the S phase.
The enzyme will methylate more than 4 thousand 5'-GANTC-3' sites in around 20 minutes, and then it will be degraded by the LON protease.
CcrM expression is regulated by the CtrA master regulator, and in addition various 5'-GANTC-3' sites methylation sites regulate CcrM expression, which will only occur at the end of the S phase when this sites are hemimethylated.
In this process CtrA regulates the expression of CcrM and more than 1000 genes in the pre-divisional state, and SciP prevents the activation of CcrM transcription in non replicative cells.
CcrM is a type II DNA Methyltransferase, that transfer a methyl group from the methyl donor SAM to the N6 of an adenine in a 5'-GANTC-3' recognition sites of hemimethylated DNA.
Based on the order of the conserved motifs that form the SAM binding, the active site and the target recognition domain (TRD) in the sequence of CcrM it can be classified as a β-class adenine N6 Methyltransferase.
CcrM is characterized by a high degree of sequence discrimination, showing a very high specificity for GANTC sites over AANTC sites , being able to recognize and methylate this sequence in both double and single strand DNA.
CcrM in complex with a dsDNA structure was resolved, showing that the enzyme presents a novel DNA interaction mechanism, opening a bubble in the DNA recognition site (The concerted mechanism of Methyltransferases relies in the flip of the target base), the enzyme interacts with DNA forming an homodimer with differential monomer interactions.
CcrM is a highly efficient enzyme capable of methylating a high number of 5'-GANTC-3' sites in low time, however if the enzyme is processive (the enzyme binds to the DNA and methylate several methylation sites before dissociation) or distributive (the enzyme dissociates from DNA after each methylation) it is still in discussion.
Alberto Giuliani (born 25 December 1964) is an Italian volleyball coach, a head coach of the Slovenia men's national volleyball team.
Established by Lebanese American Jalal Antone, it grew to having fifteen locations and having products distributed throughout the Southern United States, but was beset by ownership disputes within the surviving family in the 1990s.
Originally he wanted to serve Levantine cuisine to Lebanese and Syrian Americans, but his brother in law stated that area residents at the time would not be accustomed to those cuisines, and so the business needed to be openly focused around more familiar cuisine.
Therefore Antone chose to make sandwiches the primary selling point of the business while offering Levantine food on the side for the immigrants, and he advised other ethnic Levantine restaurant operators to not openly market the restaurants as being Middle Eastern.
The company's second and third locations were on Main Street and the intersection of San Felipe Road and Voss Road, respectively, with the former opening in 1967.
Josephine was the head of Antone's and sublicensed to her daughters the rights to do catering, as J.J. Gregory Gourmet Services.
Antone-Hatfield stated that she entered the business upon her father's request even though she initially planned to work in the music industry as she studied theater and music.
Okde, who went to Houston to avoid the Lebanese Civil War, had originally intended on making money to support himself during his studies and planned on having a career in a petroleum firm, but he grew in the business, assuming more responsibilities and opening his own franchises.
The mother-controlled company accused the daughters of not following the licensing terms and filed suit against the daughters; the arbitration resulted in a win for the defendants.
Additional lawsuits were filed by the company against the daughters when the company accused the latter of allowing supermarkets to sell Antone's products without permission and insufficient royalty payments in 1992 and trying to improperly sell the franchise in 1996.
By the latter year the daughters and mother were not on speaking terms; the daughters accused Okde and another member of the board, Peter Basralian, of tricking Josephine, an accusation the men denied.
The franchise agreements ultimately expired, with Legacy not allowing renewal, in April 2018; the Okdes chose not to file lawsuits and instead decided to run sandwich shops under new names; the Okde's legal representation agreed that Legacy had the rights to the Antone's name.
Lomax in particular stated that the storage of the sandwiches at grocery stores ruined the flavor due to the delicate properties of the chowchow and mayonnaise.
According to Legacy, the other varieties were available by the year 1970 but the company had no specific information on when each variety was first available.
Okde's family stated that Tony Okde had created several of the menu items; a Legacy representative stated that the company was unaware of this, and if this was indeed the case, the company in 2018 does not any longer sell these items.
It tells the story of multiple generations of African American slaves from the point of view of the dead Clora, who killed herself and tried to kill her four children in order to escape slavery.
Clora follows her four children around the world through the years, but keeps a special eye on Always, her favorite child.
Her mother Fammy was repeatedly raped by the Master of the Land bore him nine children, all of whom were sold by the Mistress of the Land by the time they were three years old.
The torture of being a slave was too much for her, however, and Flora committed a murder-suicide with the Master of the Land, leaving Clora behind in the hands of Miz Elliz, another slave.
The Master's son, the Young Master of the Land, took over in his place and eventually began raping Clora before she was even twelve years old, forcing her to give birth to several children, Always, Sun, Peach, and Plum.
Fearing the sale of her children and her own death by the Mistress and Master of the Land, Clora tried to feed herself and her children poison tea.
Loretta was sympathetic towards Sun as she could tell that they were related, giving him preferential treatment and assisting in multiple escape attempts.
After a second, successful escape attempt Sun repeatedly asked Loretta to help Peach escape, only for Loretta to push her mother to sell Peach out of jealousy.
The man that Peach was sold to was a nice man and eventually the two fell in love and moved to Scotland, where she changed her name to Peachel and her children grew in a wealthy household, became educated, and got high paying jobs.
When he was seventeen he was able to convince a business owner to let him work for only some food and a place to sleep.
By 1844 Always and Plum are the only two siblings remaining on the farm, which is now in very deep debt.
Always is sold to a well-off land owner named Doak Butler, who purchased her as a slave for his fiancé Wanda Sue.
Unable to imagine a life without her sibling, Plum manages to secretly hide herself on the bottom of the buggy but is crushed and bleeds to death by a mechanism underneath the buggy.
Hoping to earn some money for herself, Always decides to take care of the farm but soon discovers that she's pregnant with Doak's child.
She is also surprised to discover that she doesn't hate Wanda Sue, who is by now married to Doak and also pregnant with his child.
Always receives kind and preferential treatment from Wanda Sue, who allows her to rebuild the chicken coop so that Always would have a private place to sleep with her future child, but asked Always to be present with her when it became time for her to give birth.
Noticing that her son had Doak's blue eyes whereas Wanda Sue's doesn't, Always switches the two children out so her son can escape becoming a slave.
The two boys are very close, resulting in Doak Jr preventing Soon's sale even as all of Always's other children by Doak are sold before they were six years old.
The proceeds from the sales are used to expand the now profitable farm and Always names the land after her missing children.
Wanda Sue, on the other hand, does not become pregnant again for many years and when she does become pregnant, dies along with the second child after falling ill. After Wanda Sue's death Doak continues to sexually abuse Always but soon decides to marry the daughter of the Young Master of the Land, Loretta.
Aware that Soon and Doak Jr are related to one another, Loretta makes several attempts to turn the boys against one another but is unsuccessful.
It isn't until the boys grow older, however, that their relationship changes and Doak Jr began to play the role of the master and started treating Soon unkindly.
This prompts Doak Jr to leave and fight in his father's place and Soon is sent with him in order to protect Doak Jr.
One of Always's missing children returns to the farm as a runaway slave and is hired by Loretta to serve as her carriage driver.
He only stays for three months before fleeing with the carriage, which devastates Loretta, who had become pregnant with his child.
Loretta asks Always for help in aborting the fetus via an abortifacient tea, only for Always to secretly feed her prenatal teas so she gives birth to a healthy child.
After the Civil War and the abolishment of slavery Always chooses to remain on the farm but not take care of Loretta, who unsuccessfully tries to threaten her into maintaining the status quo.
Now home with Soon, Doak Jr tries to force Always into revealing the location of gold she helped his father bury, only for Always to tell him that she is his true mother.
He initially tries to kill her in a rage, but stops as he knows that she's the only one who knows the location of the gold.
Always tells him that she will not tell anyone that they are related as long as he buys her the land.
As time passes Always marries a quiet man named Time and has a child with him, Master More, however Doak Jr is still resentful towards her since he felt that she had bested him.
Upon hearing that the war is over, Peach and Sun return to the South to visit Always and see Plum's grave.
They discuss living arrangements for Soon and Apple, who are able to access more educational opportunities since they could pass as white.
Apple chooses to leave with Peach to Scotland in order to get an education, while Soon leaves with Sun to the North in order to become a veterinarian.
Clora then fell asleep for about 50 years, and when she awoke, Sun was dead, Always was dying, and Peach was incredibly old.
She realized that she had grandchildren and great-grandchildren living all over the world, some as White, others as Black and every color in between.
She learns about the Ku Klux Klan and blames humanity for the violent repetition of history, calling to the audience and telling them that they need to change their point of view.
She explains that everyone is related to one another, no matter ones race, and that it is the audience's job to realize that they are a part of the Human Family in order to stop the violence within humanity.
Cooper uses the main narrator, Clora, as a vessel to speak to the audience members, which is unusual within common neo-slave narratives.
Cooper’s novel enacts rehabilitative storytelling, which forces readers to acknowledge the slave history within the United States as well and urges for social regeneration in the present.
Cooper also discusses racial identity within the novel as most of the children, such as Sun, Peach, and Doak Jr. are biracial.
The concept of passing as another race is demonstrated by Peach never discussing her racial background and only being able to take family members back to Scotland who appeared white.
Similarly, the only reason that Sun was able to escape the South was because the color of his skin was so white.
Within the novel, Cooper demonstrates both how passing for a different race was used as a method for survival, as well as the pointlessness for discriminating against one another via race.
Zahrah Al Ghamdi () is a Saudi Arabian visual and land artist, as well as an assistant professor at the College of Art and Design at the University of Jeddah.
Al Ghamdi grew up in Al-Baha in the south-west of the Kingdom and her experience of domestic architecture there informs her artistic practice.
She worked there as a lecturer before moving to the University of Coventry to study for an MA, then a PhD in Visual Art.
Al Ghamdi's artistic practice centres around large-scale pieces inspired and driven by women's experiences of life and craft in the home.
In Venice, her installation was made up of 52,000 pieces of re-worked leather inspired by organic forms, her home in Al-Baha and Aseeri ornaments.
In 2017, al Ghamdi created a site-specific land art installation in the Great Court at the British Museum, covering 30 square metres with a village of sand and memory.

Raised as XXVI Bersaglieri Battalion in 1859 the battalion became autonomous on 15 April 1977 and received the war flag and traditions of the 4th Bersaglieri Regiment of the Royal Italian Army.
The XXVI Bersaglieri Battalion was raised in August 1859 and immediately distinguished itself at the Battle of Castelfidardo in 1860, earning a Bronze Medal of Military Valour.
During World War I the regiment fought on the Italian front, while the XXVI Battalion was on garrison duty in Italian occupied Rhodes since 1912.
During World War II regiment and battalion were sent to Albania on 7 November 1940 to fight in the Greco-Italian War.
In this format the remnants of the regiment pursued the Greek armies, which had been forced to retreat after the German Wehrmacht had invaded Greece from Bulgaria on 6 April 1941.
The death of the regiment's colonel is commemorated in the canton of its coat of arms by the azure band with three stars.
After Italy changed sides with the Armistice of Cassibile on 8 September 1943 the 4th Bersaglieri Regiment and the XXVI Battalion were cut off in Dalmatia and forced to surrender to German forces.
The regiment was raised again on 1 February 1944 with the XXI and XXXIII battalions, the latter of which had fought German forces on Corsica after 8 September.
For its conduct and work after the 1976 Friuli earthquake the battalion was awarded a Silver Medal of Army Valour, which was affixed to the battalion's war flag and added to the battalion's coat of arms.
In the early 1980s the battalion moved to Maniago, where it remained until the Garibaldi was transferred to Caserta in Southern Italy in 1991.
Air Groove (in Japanese: エアグルーヴ, foaled April 6th, 1993) is a Japanese racehorse and the winner of the 1996 Yushun Himba.
This win sparked a three race win streak that saw her win the 1996 Sapporo Kinen and the 1996 Grade-1 Tenno Sho.
She capped off the year with a 2nd place finish at the 1997 Japan Cup and the 3rd place Arima Kinen.
Her 1998 season was also very successful, as she either won or placed on the podium at 6 of her 7 races.
She started off the year with a win at the April Ōsaka Hai, and came in 2nd at the June 1998 Naruo Kinen.
She came in 3rd at the July 1998 Takarazuka Kinen and got the last win of her career at the August 1998 Sapporo Kinen.
The coordinated cardiac muscle contraction is regulated by the troponin complex on thin filament (troponin C which is calcium binding, troponin T that plays the role with tropomyosin, and troponin I which has an inhibitory action annulating the S1 ATPase activity in the presence of tropomyosin and troponin and absence of Ca).
This mutation is determined by the change of Alanine to Valine at nucleotide 23 from C to T. Patients with this type of mutation shows thickness on the left ventricle wall of around 18mm, compared to the normal this thickness would be 12 mm.
The weightlifter could increase the weight between attempts (minimum of 5 kg between first and second attempts, 2.5 kg between second and third attempts) but could not decrease weight.
If two or more weightlifters finished with the same total, the competitors' body weights were used as the tie-breaker (lighter athlete wins).
The Axis capture of Tobruk, also known as the Fall of Tobruk and the Second Battle of Tobruk (17–21 June 1942) was part of the Western Desert Campaign in Libya during the Second World War.
The battle was fought by Panzer Army Africa ( an Italo–German (Axis) military force in north Africa, which included the , led by Erwin Rommel) and forces from the United Kingdom, Indian Empire, South Africa and other Allied countries in the British Eighth Army (General Neil Ritchie).
The port of Tobruk had withstood an eight-month siege by Axis forces in 1941 before its defenders, who had become an emblem of resistance were relieved in December.
British commanders had decided not to defend Tobruk for a second time and its minefields had been stripped for use in the Gazala Line to the west.
By mid-1942, the garrison included many inexperienced troops and on 15 June 1942, the newly promoted Major-General Hendrik Klopper of the 2nd South African Division took command.
An immense stock of supplies of every description had been accumulated around the port for a British offensive but the Axis struck first.
Operation Venice ( (the Battle of Gazala) began on 26 May 1942 and drove the Eighth Army east of Tobruk, leaving it isolated.
The British Prime Minister Winston Churchill placed great store on the symbolic value of Tobruk and there was an exchange of ambiguous signals leading to the garrison being surrounded, rather than evacuated as originally intended.
Operation Herkules, the invasion of Malta, was postponed and the Axis air forces supported the pursuit into Egypt, which was hampered by supply constraints as the advanced further from its bases and was halted at the First Battle of Alamein in July 1942.
A British Court of Inquiry was held in 1942, which found Klopper to be largely blameless for the surrender and ascribed the defeat to failures among the British high command.
The findings were kept secret until after the war, which did little to restore the reputation of Klopper and his troops.
Behind two old outlying forts, they constructed an innovative fortification, consisting of a double line of concrete-lined trenches long, connecting 128 weapons pits protected by concealed anti-tank ditches; but the fortifications lacked overhead protection and defence in depth.
Tobruk was captured by Australian forces in January 1941 during Operation Compass, the first large Allied military operation of the Western Desert Campaign.
Using the Italian defences, ill-organised attacks by Axis forces were defeated by the 30,000-strong Australian garrison (replaced in September by a British and Allied force), allowing time for the fortifications to be improved.
The Allied occupation of Tobruk was a threat to the Axis communications, it denied them the use of the port, and it tied down four Italian divisions and three German battalions, a force twice the size of the garrison.
During 1941, supplied from the sea and surviving successive Axis assaults, the defence of Tobruk became a symbol of the British Empire's war effort.
The relief of Tobruk was the object of Operation Brevity in May and Operation Battleaxe in June, both of which failed.
Supplied with more modern tanks, the second Axis offensive saw the reoccupation of western Cyrenaica but the Axis advance ran out of supplies west of Gazala.
The Axis forces forestalled the British with (known to the British as the Battle of Gazala), which began on 28 May.
Poorly armed and armoured British tanks and poor co-ordination allowed Rommel to defeat the Eighth Army armour piecemeal and by 13 June the British had begun to retreat eastwards from Gazala, leaving Tobruk vulnerable.
On 1 May 1942, a meeting of Axis leaders was held at the Berghof in Berchtesgaden, with Adolf Hitler and Albert Kesselring, the Commander-in-Chief South, representing Germany, and Benito Mussolini and Ugo Cavallero, the Chief of the Defence Staff representing Italy.
If successful, Rommel was to go no further east than the Egyptian border and take up defensive positions while an invasion of Malta codenamed Operation Herkules was undertaken, scheduled for mid-July.
The capture of Malta would secure the Axis supply lines to North Africa before allowing Rommel to invade Egypt, with the Suez Canal as the final objective.
Axis planning had been given considerable assistance after the (Italian Military Information Service) had broken the Black Code used by Colonel Bonner Fellers, the US military attaché in Cairo, to send detailed and often critical reports to Washington of the British war effort in the Middle East.
In a meeting held in Cairo on 4 February 1942, the Commanders-in-Chief of the British Middle East Command considered what their course of action should be in the event of a further successful Axis offensive, the front line at that time being only 30 miles west of Tobruk.
The commanders knew how valuable the port would be to Axis forces but decided against allowing it to endure another siege.
Accordingly, Auchinleck drafted orders for Lieutenant-General Neil Ritchie, the commander of Eighth Army, that in the event of being forced to make a further withdrawal, although he was to make every effort to prevent Tobruk from being taken, he was not to allow his forces to be surrounded there.
By 14 June, Rommel's offensive had forced Ritchie to order the withdrawal of the units holding the Gazala positions, the 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division and the 1st South African Infantry Division, eastwards through Tobruk and on towards the Egyptian border in accordance with Operation Freeborn.
Neither he nor Ritchie wanted to lose the considerable stockpiles of fuel, munitions and other stores which had been built up at the port for the intended British offensive.
Auchinleck signalled ordering Ritchie to hold a line from Acroma (west of Tobruk) extending south-east to El Adem, which would screen Tobruk.
The order was not received by Ritchie until two hours before his carefully organised night withdrawal was due to start; too late to alter the movement.
The 50th and 1st South African divisions were saved from encirclement but were withdrawn from the line which Auchinleck intended them to hold.
On 15 June, El Adem itself was attacked three times by the German 90th Light Infantry Division but were repulsed by the defenders.
Simultaneously, an attack by 21st Panzer Division on a defended area called Point B 650 some 8 kilometres north of El Adem was defeated by the Indians and the 7th Motor Brigade; however a second attack succeeded later that evening.
The attacks on El Adem were discontinued after further reverses but the threat of being surrounded caused its evacuation on the night of 16/17 June.
This left the airfields on the coast at RAF Gambut vulnerable, causing the Desert Air Force (DAF) to withdraw eastwards, severely limiting the available air support.
The last outpost of the defensive line was Belhamed, a hill adjacent to Sidi Rezegh, which was held by the 20th Indian Infantry Brigade, a new formation.
On 17 June, 4th Armoured Brigade was ordered to attack, hoping to take the flank of the German armour, now supplemented by 15th Panzer Division, as it moved northwards towards the coast.
The brigade had been hurriedly reformed after the Gazala battles and had about 90 tanks operated by a number of composite units but lacked much of its artillery which had been detached to form harassing columns.
After an engagement lasting most of the afternoon, the British brigade withdrew to refit and then towards Egypt having lost thirty two tanks.
With no other support available, 20th Indian Brigade were ordered to withdraw during that night but were caught as the German armour reached the coast at Gambut and two of its battalions were captured.
Also captured was the abandoned RAF base with 15 aircraft and considerable fuel supplies and, to the west, a vast Allied stores dump with thousands of trucks.
The next morning, 18 June, Rommel was able to report to Berlin that Tobruk had been surrounded and was under siege.
A third of the Tobruk garrison was the 2nd South African Infantry Division under the command of Major General Hendrik Klopper.
The division consisted of only the 3rd South African Infantry Brigade and 6th South African Infantry Brigade with a number of attached units.
They had been based in Tobruk since the end of March, although Klopper had not taken command of the division until 14 May, having been a divisional staff officer.
On the following day, Lieutenant-General William Gott, commanding XIII Corps, whose headquarters were still in the port, suggested that he should take command.
Before Gott left, he ordered Klopper to prepare three more sets of plans – for co-operating with the Allied forces outside Tobruk, for re-establishing a presence at Belhamed and for the evacuation of the garrison eastwards.
The South African brigades held the west and south-west of the perimeter which had borne the brunt of the fighting in the first siege.
Between these formations were three regiments of field artillery and two of medium artillery, the latter possessing sixteen 4.5-inch medium guns and sixteen 155 mm M1918 howitzers between them.
In the various anti-tank batteries in Tobruk there were fifteen new 6-pounders, thirty two of the older and less effective 2-pounders and eight Bofors 37 mm anti-tank guns.
Each infantry battalion had to defend a frontage of about 3 miles on average, and each anti-tank gun would have had to defend on average a frontage of 750 yards if they had been spread evenly across the perimeter.
The combat squadrons of the DAF had been compelled to move to airfields at Sidi Barrani, which put Tobruk beyond the range of all their fighters with the exception of No.
Owing to the earlier decision not to allow Tobruk to endure another siege, little work had been done to maintain or repair its defences since its relief.
In many places, the trenches and the anti-tank ditch had collapsed or filled with drifting sand and part of the ditch had been filled in to allow the British armour to deploy during the December 1941 breakout.
Large quantities of barbed wire and land mines had been removed to bolster the Gazala defences, while some of the old Italian mines which remained were found to be defective.
Some work had been done by South African engineers to remedy the situation but there is conflicting evidence as to the actual condition of the defences at the start of the siege.
A plan for the rapid capture of Tobruk had been agreed between Kesselring and Cavallero on 10 June, consisting of an attack in stages from the south and west.
However Rommel ignored this and instead used a plan which he had originally devised in October 1941, attacking from the south-east, where the ground was flatter than the gullied terrain in the south-west.
On the western end of the line was the Italian XXI Corps comprising the 7th Bersaglieri Regiment, the 60th Infantry Division Sabratha and the 102nd Motorised Division Trento, southwards from the coast.
To the south was the Italian X Corps with the 27th Infantry Division Brescia forward and the 17th Infantry Division Pavia in reserve.
On the eastern boundary was the Italian XX Motorised Corps with the 101st Motorised Division Trieste forward, while the armoured 132nd Armoured Division Ariete was in the south-west at Bir er Reghem and the newly arrived 133rd Armoured Division Littorio was moving in behind it.
The two armoured formations, 15th Panzer Division and 21st Panzer Division, were in the east, on either side of the village Kambut.
Kesselring had warned that, because all Axis aircraft had to be withdrawn by the end of June in preparation for the invasion of Malta, an early result was vital.
About 150 bombers of various types were available, mostly German, including 40 to 50 fighter-bombers and 21 Junkers Ju 87 dive-bombers.
Wishing to make swift use of the disorganisation amongst the British forces, Rommel issued his orders for the assault on 18 June and reconnaissance of the allotted deployment areas commenced early the next day.
Starting in the afternoon of 19 June and through that night, the armoured formations changed places with 90th Light Division, so that they were facing the south-eastern corner of the perimeter, occupied by the inexperienced 2nd Battalion, 5th Mahratta Light Infantry.
The 15th Panzer Division was on the left of the attack and 21st Panzer on the right, with a motorised infantry group (detached from 90th Division and commanded by Erwin Menny) in the centre.
The XX Corps was to attack further to the left, followed by X Corps, which was to occupy and hold the perimeter defences.
In the west, XXI Corps was to make a feint attack to pin down the South African brigades, while in the east, 90th Division was tasked with fending off any attempt to relieve Tobruk by the main body of Eighth Army.
When the combined German and Italian artillery arrived at their positions near El Adem, they found a stockpile of their ammunition which had been abandoned in November and had never been cleared away.
began its attack at 7:00 a.m., which coincided with the opening of the artillery barrage, which had been delayed because the various batteries had been late arriving at their locations; a breach in the line between two strong points had been made at 7:45 a.m.
The German 900th Engineer Battalion was able to make crossings over the anti-tank ditch using prefabricated bridging equipment; the first German tanks were across the ditch by 8:30 a.m., by which time several strong points had been taken by the infantry, creating a bridgehead wide.
The Mahrattas committed their reserves in an abortive counter-attack and, although they had been given to understand that a tank battalion would be coming to their assistance, this never materialised.
The Ariete Division, the spearhead of XX Corps, had failed to penetrate the line held by 2nd Battalion, Cameron Highlanders and so were redirected into the breach made by the and then deployed westwards towards Fort Pilastrino.
At Klopper's headquarters, after initially believing the attack in the south-east to be a feint, it was thought that timely orders had been issued for a counter-attack to be organised by 32nd Army Tank Brigade, supported by whatever elements of the Guards and Indian brigades they required.
The intention had not been understood at the tank brigade headquarters and only the 4th Battalion, Royal Tank Regiment (RTR) was ordered to attack.
The counter-attack might have succeeded if it had been made with greater force while the Axis armour was still making its way across the anti-tank ditch but, by the time it had begun, the had been moving into the perimeter for an hour and a half and the armoured division was established on their left.
The other tank battalion in the British brigade, 7th RTR, moved up in support on their own initiative but half were diverted to assist the Camerons.
At 4:00 p.m., German tanks were seen to the east, and Klopper thought that his headquarters to the south-west of the town was in danger of being overrun.
The German tanks moved off in a different direction, but now without communications equipment, Klopper relocated to the headquarters of 6th South African Brigade in the north-west of the fortress at 6:30 p.m.
The leading German units did not reach the outskirts of the town until 6:00 p.m. At about the same time, British engineers and logistic troops began the task of destroying the immense quantities of fuel, water, ammunition and stores in the town along with the port facilities.
The 15th Panzer Division had begun to advance westwards along the Pilastrino Ridge, where elements of the 201st Guards Brigade had taken up exposed positions at short notice.
When their brigade headquarters was overrun at about 6:45 p.m., most of the units either stopped fighting or withdrew to Fort Pilastrano at the western end of the ridge.
The 15th Panzer ended their advance since they were under orders to cover the approach of 21st Panzer to the town, which was reported to have been taken at 7:00 p.m.
The final evacuation of small naval vessels had been carried out under fire—fifteen craft escaped but twenty-five, including a minesweeper, were sunk in the harbour or lost to air attacks on the passage to Alexandria.
The remnants of the British units in the eastern sector of the fortress prepared themselves for all-round defence, while the South African brigades had not been engaged except for some diversionary activity.
The Eighth Army staff suggested that the break-out should be on the following night (21/22 June) and that it was essential that all the fuel be destroyed.
Although Ritchie had ordered the 7th Armoured Division to move north towards Sidi Rezegh which is south-east of the Tobruk perimeter, there is no evidence that they advanced very far or ever threatened the Axis cordon.
There then followed a series of discussions between Klopper and his available brigadiers and staff officers, during which the various options were discussed in some depth.
The chances of a successful break-out were impeded by the fact that the 2nd South African Division was not a motorised formation and many of the vehicles they did possess were in the town and now in Axis hands.
The option to stand and fight in the western sector was considered but the main ammunition dumps had also been captured.
As dawn approached Klopper changed his mind and concluded that any value to be gained from continuing the fight would not be worth the cost in additional casualties.
Some units did not receive the order at all; the 2nd Battalion, 7th Gurkha Rifles, on the eastern perimeter, fought on until that evening, while the Cameron Highlanders continued fighting until the morning of 22 June.
Captain Sainthill of the Coldstream Guards and 199 of his officers and men were able to break out of the south-west perimeter in their battalion transport and rejoin the Eighth Army.
A small group of 188 South Africans, largely of the Kaffrarian Rifles, escaped eastwards along the coast and reached El Alamein 38 days later.
A meeting was arranged with Klopper, who surrendered to Rommel on the about west of Tobruk at 9:40 a.m. on 21 June.
It was the second largest capitulation of British Empire forces in the war after the fall of Singapore, and the biggest defeat in the history of the Union Defence Force.
The Germans left the task of housing the prisoners to the Italians, who lacked the infrastructure to treat the prisoners in accordance with the Geneva Convention.
Many of them, especially South Africans, were subject to recriminations from other prisoners who felt that Tobruk had surrendered too easily.
At the Italian armistice in September 1943, many prisoners escaped, including Klopper who was rescued by Popski's Private Army (under Major Vladimir Peniakoff) which was operating nearby.
Despite efforts to destroy the fuel at Tobruk, the Axis captured some 1,400 tonnes with a further 20 tonnes at Belhamed.
Amongst the 2,000 vehicles captured were 30 serviceable tanks and it has been estimated that Rommel was using some 6,000 captured British lorries by the end of that month.
Because of the tenuous supply line that Rommel depended on, his troops had been living on very short rations and the British supplies were enthusiastically received, especially chocolate, canned milk and vegetables.
On 21 June, Prime Minister Churchill was in the White House in Washington conferring on the future direction of the war with President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a summit meeting known as the Second Washington Conference.
An American aide arrived with the news of the Tobruk surrender, which he gave to the President who then passed it to Churchill.
Marshall ordered the 2nd Armored Division, which was training with the new M4 Sherman tanks, to prepare to move to Egypt.
When it became apparent that this new formation could not be made operational until the autumn, Marshall decided instead to send three hundred of their Shermans, a hundred 105 mm M7 Self Propelled Guns, spare parts and one hundred and fifty instructors, in a fast convoy beginning on 1 July.
On 25 June the Maldon by-election was won by Tom Driberg, a left-wing journalist standing as an Independent, who gained sixty per cent of the vote, defeating the Conservative Party candidate.
Churchill and others directly attributed the defeat to the loss of Tobruk only four days previously; Driberg denied this was a major factor, suggesting instead that it was part of a wider swing to the left and away from the established political parties.
In parliament, there was a growing feeling that Churchill was responsible for the muddle and lack of direction in the management of the war, despite his popularity with the public.
Labour Party MP Aneurin Bevan attempted to force a parliamentary enquiry into Churchill's role in the defeats at Gazala and Tobruk but was prevented by Clement Attlee, the Labour Deputy Prime Minister in the wartime coalition.
The Nazi hierarchy shared Churchill's view of the symbolic importance of Tobruk and Joseph Goebbels, the Reich Minister of Propaganda, made much of its capture.
On 22 June, Hitler promoted Rommel to , making him the youngest field marshal in the German Army, much to the annoyance of senior Italian officers.
Although Rommel undoubtedly considered it a great honour, he later confided to his wife that he would rather have been given another division.
Mussolini was also jubilant and is said to have ordered that a suitable white horse be found for his triumphal entry into Cairo.
In 1942, a Court of Inquiry was held , which found Klopper to be largely blameless for the surrender, although since the result was kept secret, it did little to enhance his or his troops' reputation.
After the war, Winston Churchill wrote that the blame belonged to the British High Command, not to Klopper or his troops.
He accepted that the facts were obscured at the time as the Tobruk leadership were all prisoners of war but that the truth had emerged.
The number of British Empire prisoners taken in the battle is not known precisely because all the British records were lost.
Axis casualties are not known either but German casualties for the fighting since 26 May (including Gazala) were reported as 3,360 of whom 300 were officers.
In the afternoon of 21 June, Kesselring visited Rommel's headquarters and reminded him of the agreement that the invasion of Malta would follow the capture of Tobruk and that his air assets were already being returned to Italy for that purpose.
On 22 June, Rommel by-passed the chain of command by writing directly to Mussolini via the German attaché in Rome, Enno von Rintelen, requesting that the offensive be allowed to continue and that the Malta invasion be postponed to preserve his air support.
Ritchie decided not to regroup at the Egyptian border as planned but further east at the fortified port of Mersa Matruh.
Auchinleck relieved Ritchie of his command on 25 June, taking charge of the Eighth Army in person, and began a further withdrawal to a better defensive position at El Alamein.
The Battle of Mersa Matruh was another muddled disaster for the Eighth Army, who suffered 8,000 casualties and lost a lot of equipment and supplies, but the bulk of the Eighth Army was still able to break out and fall back to El Alamein.
Rommel hoped that a swift central attack on the new British positions might succeed in the same way as at Mersa Matruh.
However he was moving further away from his air support and supply bases, he was increasingly within range of the Allied Desert Air Force, and his advance was eventually halted at the First Battle of El Alamein.

The St. Mary Catholic Church (also known as the St. Mary Mother Church) is located at 89 St. Mary Place, Bunnell, Florida 32110.
In the early 1910s, after several families of Polish descent decided to relocate to Korona, Florida, they raised $1000 to build a Catholic church in the town.
The property where the St. Mary Catholic Church is located includes the Shrine of Saint Christopher and four other buildings: Parish Thrift Store, Storage Shed, Parish Center Office and the Main Church.
The St. Mary Catholic Church has 1955 square feet as it measures 31 feet wide by 62 feet long and includes a 3 feet wide by 11 feet long part of the garage extension that protrudes from the northeast corner of the building.
These windows are tall and narrow with a pointed arch at the top, which mimic the architectural styling found in original Gothic churches.
The glass in all of the lancet windows is clear and wavy, interestingly; the St. Mary Catholic Church has never had stained glass in any of its external lancet windows.
One add-on section was used as living quarters for the priest, which includes a living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and a safe and storage room.
The front (west) side of the building includes a concrete porch (which replaced the original wood porch) that measures 12 feet wide by 5 feet long with four steps and right and left side round metal hand railings.
The porch includes two wood sitting benches and has a wood framed canopy roof with asphalt shingles that match the building's main roof.
Wood pillars support the canopy roof and the fascia includes vertical jig-sawn wood trim fretwork supported by wood braces attached at a 45-degree angle.
Mary’s Church – Built by a Group of Polish Immigrants in 1914.” There is one centrally located lancet window above the canopy.
The bottom section has two vertical panes that are painted white, and the top section has three lancet shaped panes with clear wavy glass.
Each of these windows has four vertical clear wavy glass panes in their bottom section, and two vertical panes and three lancet shaped panes with clear wavy glass in their top section.
Each of these windows has four vertical clear wavy glass panes in their bottom section, and two vertical panes and three lancet shaped panes with clear wavy glass in their top section.
The rear add-on automobile garage section, on the northeastern corner of the building, includes two hinged swing-out wood garage doors with four panels each.
The back (east) side of the building includes a single wood rear entrance access door with a five-step concrete porch and wood handrail.
There are three double hung windows (which are now covered with wood panels), and three double pane vertical windows in the garage section (which are now covered with wood panels).
A wood framed canopy roof supported by two wood braces attached at a 45-degree angle extends the length of the three windows and entrance door and is covered with asphalt shingles that match the building's main roof.
The steeple is located at the front (west) side of the building and includes four wood window openings with louvered air vents that have arrow point tops.
The walls in the church section, and the original sacristy room, are finished with chair molding installed horizontally at three feet six inches from the floor.
The front entrance includes a confessional room with a single hung entrance door to the priest's area and a single hung entrance door to the parishioner's area, double entrance doors with semi-circular tops, a stairway that leads to the choir chamber and a single hung entrance door leading into a storage room under the stairway.
The pulpit includes wood railings, a baptismal font, central altar, an additional smaller altar with a Statue of the Redeemer in Death, which is used at Easter services, and various statues, pictures and other church-related artifacts.
The add-on section that was once the priest's living quarters includes a living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and a safe and storage room safe.
The add-on section that was once the priest's automobile parking garage is currently being used for the storage of miscellaneous maintenance items.
The Shrine was a gift to Korona and is a rest stop for motorists who can visit the shrine and pray to the Patron Saint of Travelers.
Since the 1960s, the St. Mary Catholic Church performs special services called the Blessing of Automobiles where motorists are invited to have their cars blessed in front of the Shrine of Saint Christopher.
May the almighty and merciful god lead them, and may the angel Raphael and St. Christopher accompany them on their journey.
Michael Curley, bishop of St. Augustine, purchased land for $1.00 in the center of Korona and this was where a Catholic church building would be constructed.
The church building was originally named St. Mary, Queen of Poland, Catholic Church, but later changed its name to St. Mary Catholic Church.
The area's rugged wilderness, which included dense woodlands, heavy soil, insects, poor drainage and lack of reliable road transportation, other than the railroad, led to crop failures and difficulty transporting harvests to shipping centers.
These roads made traveling to and from Korona, by way of automobiles, much easier and allowed access to many more areas that were not serviced by the railroads.
The first floor of the hotel was used as a grocery and feed store as well as a real estate office.
The building was used as a social and recreation facility, and included a beer garden (after the repeal of Prohibition in 1934) and large dance floor in addition to being a hotel for many years.
In 1959, the White Eagle Hotel building was demolished to make room for the widening to four lanes of the U.S. Highway.
Suddenly, the rural area of Korona had the means to improve its standard of living and expedite the modern development of the community.
As the Korona community continued to grow during the 20th century, the original St. Mary Catholic Church became too small for its parish.
In 2011, a new Parish Center was constructed on the St. Mary Catholic Church property, which includes classrooms, offices and a social hall.
In 2014, the St. Vincent DePaul Thrift was constructed on the St. Mary Catholic Church property, which provides affordable clothing and house wares to the needy of Korona and nearby communities.
This corps was activated in Augsburg in February 1941 as the LVII Army Corps, for the German invasion of the Soviet Union, which commenced on June 22, 1941.
It retreated over the Romanian border before being attached to the 3rd Hungarian Army and transferred to the south of Hungary.
On National Signing Day, Jones committed to play college football at the University of Texas over offers from Alabama, Baylor, LSU, Oregon and Texas A&M.
Jones played in all twelve of Texas' games as a true freshman with one start, making 16 tackles and blocking two punts.
He was named a starting safety going into his sophomore season and finished the year with 61 tackles (four for loss), two passes broken up, and a forced fumble.
He finished fourth on the team with 70 (5.5 for loss) tackles as a junior while also intercepting two passes, breaking up a pass, and recovering two fumbles despite missing four games due to a recurring ankle injury and was named honorable mention All-Big 12 Conference.
Jones originally considered entering the 2019 NFL Draft following the end of the season, but ultimately decided to return to Texas for his senior year.

In the United States, there are around 860 communities with combined sewer systems, totaling to a population of around 40 million people served.
During normal operation of a combined sewer system, the sewage from commercial, industrial, and residential sources flow into the combined system.
Water from surface runoff and storm drains join the sewer flow and the combined water and sewage travel to a treatment plant.
When there is an excess of stormwater, the combined sewer is no longer able to handle the flow and it backs up and drains, usually into the nearest body of water.
Providence, Rhode Island is a place that has had a particular issue when it came to the effects of its combined sewer system.
Prior to the start of the project to expand the storage capacity of the combined sewer system, each year the combined sewer overflows would release approximately 2.2 billion gallons of untreated combined sewage.
This caused there to be certain areas that are permanently closed to shellfishing and over 11,000 acres that would be closed when there was more than an inch of rainfall.
Due to the high cost of the project, costing around $1.5 billion there was a reevaluation of the project in 2013 with final approval for continuation of Phase III, with additional federal funding in 2019.
Since the construction of Phase I and II, the system is able to capture around 60% of the stormwater that passes through the system.
The Providence Combined Sewer Overflow Abatement Program is the largest public-works project in Rhode Island History and is working to make the Narragansett Bay cleaner and healthier.

H4K20me2 is the most common methylation state on histone H4 and was one of the earliest modified histone residues to be identified back in pea and calf extracts in 1969.
H4K20me2 is similar to H4K20me1 but has a different distribution and this dimethylation controls the cell cycle and DNA damage response.
H4K20me3 is involved in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome where patients have premature and very rapid aging caused by de novo mutations that occurs in a gene that encodes lamin A. Lamin A is made but isn't processed properly.
The basic structural unit of chromatin is the nucleosome: this consists of the core octamer of histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) as well as a linker histone and about 180 base pairs of DNA.
The post-translational modification of histone tails by either histone modifying complexes or chromatin remodelling complexes are interpreted by the cell and lead to complex, combinatorial transcriptional output.
It is thought that a Histone code dictates the expression of genes by a complex interaction between the histones in a particular region.
She achieved this in August, 1967 at Columbia University, New York N.Y. Harrison received her Doctorate degree (Ph.D) in American History in May, 1982.
Then, from September 1970 to May 1972, Harrison was an Assistant Head Librarian in the reference department at McMaster University Library, Ontario, Canada.
At the Federal Judicial Center in Washington, D.C., Harrison was Chief of Federal Judicial History Office from April 1988 to December 1994.
Her special projects include; Supreme Court Justices' oral history interviews and Gender Issues Coordinator; liaison with courts and allied organizations concerning programs on gender fairness education.
Along with all of the classes she taught at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., she was also a GW/IWPR Fellowship coordinator.
The reason she was able to gain access to a credit card is because the name she applied under wasn't believed to be a woman's name.
Patrick Trémeau (born September 27, 1963) is a French serial rapist, active in the 11th and 20th arrondissements of Paris during the 1990s.
Nicknamed The Parking Rapist, he prowled mainly at night, attacking women in underground car parks under the threat of a knife, before raping them.
He was released in May 2005 after 10 years of detention, whereupon he reoffends, for which he was arrested in September of that same year.
At the same time, a law was passed concerning recidivism, and Trémeau was given 20 years imprisonment with a 10-year imprisonment term in February 2009.
In the early 1980s, he earned a plumbing certificate, finding work easily, and doing in a manner considered satisfactory by his employers.
For this crime, he was given a 7-year sentence by the Assize Court of Val-de-Marne, for rape under the threat of a weapon.
His behavior towards his female colleagues was not abnormal, with Patrick successfully seducing several of them, but they quickly left him, which greatly affected Trémeau, who couldn't stand break-ups.
Between April 1993 and March 1995, Trémeau raped 8 women and tried to violate 5 others, always in the same manner.
His victims were all women, from 20 to 35 years, with long hair (primarily brunettes), always with a job that made them return late at night.
When he spotted a victim, Trémeau followed them to the building and usually waited for them to come back and park their car in the parking lot.
His assaults always took place between midnight and 4 AM, in the underground car parks of the 11th and 20th arrondissements of Paris.
At the beginning of the aggressions, he would always be menacing, but once the victim subjected, his behavior changed radically and his words became soft, with him embracing and even complimenting the victim.
When he raped, he always used a condom, and would sometimes throw the wrapper on the crime scene, without leaving fingerprints.
For a while, the police believed that this was the work of a single individual, but only after arresting Guy did they realise that there were two different perpetrators, operating in the same geographical area.
At the police station, during his interrogation, a policeman noticed that he was trying to get rid of an empty condom wrapper.
She mentioned that she very well saw that her rapist wore yellow shoes, a detail which caught the attention of Commandant Bertrand, who noticed that Patrick Trémeau also wore yellow shoes.
Officers then made him take off his shoes and brought them to the office, where Gladys was, and she immediately recognized them.
The police conducted a lineup, and among the group of men, through a beam splitter, Gladys immediately pointed to her rapist: Patrick Trémeau.
Patrick Trémeau almost instantly confessed to all the rapes he committed while in custody, but denied having threatened the women with a knife.
The trial began in October 1998, to almost total indifference: no journalist as present to cover the event, despite the high number of victims (13).
The last of said victims was not informed about the holding of the trial, and thus, could be a civil party.
On May 7, 2005, after spending 10 years in prison, he was released from the prison in Melun, near the end of the sentence.
On June 5, 2005, a 24-year-old woman named Cecilia was attacked and raped in the garbage room of her apartment building, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.
On June 20, another young woman was attacked in her building on Thionville Street, in the 19th arrondissement (the circumstances of this attack remain unclear), and finally, a third victim was assaulted on September 17, 2005.
The Judicial Police of Paris, who were in charge of these rape cases, came to the certainty that these women had been attacked by the same rapist that plagued the city 10 years earlier: Patrick Trémeau.
Henri Leclerc, his attorney, emphasized on that fact, as well as his client's difficult childhood (the alleged violence at the hands of his father-in-law and by staff members at the different homes).The verdict condemned Trémeau to 20 years imprisonment (as advocated by advocate general Philippe Bilger, a starch believer of redemption and of Patrick's truthful remorse), with a 10-year sentence of medical care after his release.
Marie-Ange Le Boulaire, Anne Bordier and others from Trémeau's victims denounced his release, warning that he had no socio-judicial control and would likely reoffend.
The Trans-Himalayan Multi-dimensional Connectivity Network (abbreviated as THMCN and sometimes referred to as the Trans-Himalayan network) is an economic corridor between Nepal and China and part of China's Belt and Road Initiative, a global development initiative that develops connectivity especially across Eurasia.
A number of highway projects are to be implemented including the construction of a tunnel road and upgrading of the Araniko Highway, which was shutdown after the after the Gorkha earthquake.
The projects also consist of internal improvements to Nepalese transport infrastructure including serving three north-south corridors of the country (Koshi Economic Corridor, Gandaki Economic Corridor and Karnali Economic Corridor).
Born in Kansas City, Missouri in June 1937, he moved across different places including New Mexico, Detroit, Toronto and California before settling in Halifax, Canada in 1970.

The history of archaeology in the Philippines, officially known as the Republic of the Philippines, is a broad outline of the significant figures in Philippine archaeology and the multiple chronologies associated with the type of artifacts and research conducted over the years.
In addition to Spanish Colonization, the Philippines have also suffered in more recent history American colonization that still persists to this day.
This began a long period of American colonization, which played a huge role in the History of Philippine Archaeology as it enabled American anthropologists to stumble across vast archaeological sites with profound evidence of human occupation and evolution.
Later, archeologists like H. Otley Beyer were able to put the Philippines in the archaeological record through events such as the 1904 St. Louis World Fair, which initiated the development of archaeology in the Philippines.
H. Otley Beyer was a cultural anthropologist and archaeologist who founded Philippine archaeology and became head of anthropology at the University of the Philippines.
Beyer's theory showed the first wave as the negritos (25,000-30,000 YBP), the second wave as the Indonesians (5,000-6,000 YBP), and the third wave as the Malayas (2,500 YBP).
Beyer also conducted archaeological surveys in Luzon, Palawan, as well as the Visayan Islands and was responsible for suggesting that terraces were constructed as early as 2000 years ago.
Fox also became the head of the Anthropology Division at the National Museum of the Philippines, where he led a six-year research project in Palawan from 1962 to 1966.
The Three Age System is a common periodization system that divides history into the following three periods: the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age.
Despite this periodization being common in archaeology elsewhere, the Philippines has adopted various comparative chronologies that more accurately and efficiently categorize artifacts throughout history.
It can be argued however for what the limit of Pre-Archaeology is, due to burial sites where humans were buried with an associated object that demonstrate value.
In this period, archaeology is still not quite a science, but rather served a purpose for other research pursuits that belonged in ethnographic and natural sciences.
Alfred Marche, a Frenchman, and Naturalist is the most prominent figure during this time and usually credited with being the first to conduct archaeological explorations and collect Philippine cultural goods.
Marche can be identified as being a figure who collected not just for an antiquarian appreciation, but for a vested interest in exoticism.
Other examples belonging to this period are the few educated elite Filipinos such as Pardo de Tavera and the Calderon family who started private collections in Manila.
During the Committed Archaeology period, the National Museum of the Philippines made more serious attempts at directed archaeological research, uncovering information about settlement patterns, burial practices, and artifact assemblage.
The Three-Age System was adopted during this period as the primary way to categorize archaeological findings, following an evolutionary approach that linked artifacts to the progression of human culture from ‘savagery’ to ‘civilization’.
The Directed Archaeology period saw the development of contemporary worldwide archaeological ethics standards, which disengaged archaeological research from its antiquarian origins, especially in regards to looting.
There was also an increase in state support of archaeology practices and research projects, enabled by the strengthening of the National Museum of the Philippines via protective laws and an increase in resources.
Research projects were led by private individuals and academic institutions in collaboration with the museum and resulted in the global interest of the Philippines.
The current period of archaeology is the Reflective Period, which articulates the ethics of archaeology, emphasizing respect for ‘private property’, and an increase in state and private institutional support of archaeological research.
Reflective Archaeology uses a multidisciplinary approach to answer research questions regarding origin, migration, trade patterns, and domestication practices of the Philippines.
Archaeology today focuses on rewriting the colonial narratives that dominate the discipline, encouraging community involvement and the preservation of Filipino heritage.
According to F. Landa Jocano, the comparative chronologies of history of the archaeology of the Philippines consisted of the Mythic Phase, Formative Phase, Incipient Phase, Emergent Phase, and Baranganic Phase (Jocano, 2001).
The Mythic Phase is from the beginning of time and focuses on the emphasis of myths as a source of creative information from previous generations including symbols that corresponds to religious beliefs, social practices, and political power.
On the other hand, myth number 2 focuses on the Tinguines, who believed in the beginning that there was only the sea and the sky.
Within this phase, the emergence of new archaeological artifacts such as the first human fossils in the Tabon Cave emphasizes human migration to the Philippines.
In addition, artifacts found during this phase support the idea that there was a developing culture in the region, which was capable of adapting to their environment.
These types of artifacts showed that there was a stone-tool, ceramic, and other economic industries that enabled tasks such as foraging, gathering, hunting, fishing, and horticulture.
Jocano shows the true importance of this phase as it exemplified the unfolding of life and culture through the development of the stone tool and ceramic industries.
Throughout this phase, radical advancements within Filipino culture began to develop, with the emergence of effective agriculture and manufacturing to develop large societies.
The appearance of metals allowed for better tools and nicer cultural objects such as beads, which allowed for stratification of class within society.
Jocano further emphasizes the advancements made in the ceramic industry, which led to progress in trade and the eventual use of jar burials in the Philippines.
The Incipient Phase embarked a new era filled with the development of technology that allowed for ancient Filipinos to adapt to their environment effectively, which further enhanced their culture and survival.
In this phase, the commencement of social and economic improvement with the appearance of domestication of plants and animals, which allowed for expanded trade, communities, and population growth.
Jocano explains how community growth, writing, political decentralization, and foreign trade allowed for social organization and better-developed culture during the prehistoric Philippines.
Within this period, accounts from Spanish Friars provided vast information of written records that allow people like Jocano to argue that this ancient Filipino society was incredibly complex, despite foreign powers, and greatly influenced how civilization is maintained today in the Philippines.
Junker dissects her chronology into the following seven phases: the Edjek Phase, the Solamillo Phase, the Aguilar Phase, the Santiago Phase, the Osmena Phase, the Spanish Phase, and the Historic Phase.
This period in traditional chronology would be represented as the Iron Age, or Metal Age according to the long history model.
The museum encourages community involvement by hosting events (music, art, science, workshops), teaching Filipino history by showcasing exhibits, and increasing awareness via newsletters and social media.
One example is Dr. Stephen Acabado's Ifugao Archaeological Project, which works with Ifugao communities to address archaeological issues regarding landscape and community formation.
This project encourages community involvement to actively conserve heritage, working to date the Ifugao Rice Terraces and resolve colonial discourses regarding antiquity.
Acabado uses archaeology to reveal factual evidence of origin and colonial resistance to rewrite dominant narratives regarding Filipino origin, which are still currently based on Beyer's Waves of Migration theory.
The James Henry and Rachel Kilby House was built around 1898 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
It is located at 28 Tumbling Waters Lane in rural Rabun County, Georgia in the Persimmon community (try Persimmon, Georgia), about northwest of Clayton.
It rests upon locust and chestnut wood piers in the front, and upon a pine sill atop support stones in the rear.
A second contributing building on the property is the barn built at the same time as the house, built of hand-hewn pine, oak, and locust logs, upon a continuous stone foundation.
It is of a type commonly called a transverse crib barn in Georgia, and has cribs on each side of a wide runway.
The street on which it is located (named Tumbling Waters Lane in the National Register documentation) may have been renamed, or may also be named, Patterson Gap Road.

Lassana Coulibaly, also known as The Sock Rapist, is a French serial rapist, active between 2002 and 2005 in the areas of Paris, Aulnay-sous-Bois, Clermont-Ferrand, Vichy and Montpellier.
Lassana Coulibaly, a delinquent from Aubervilliers, kidnapped and raped (or sexually assaulted) twelve women between the ages of 19 and 57, entering their homes mainly through an open window, sometimes through a roof, balcony or scaffolding.
He got his nickname from the fact that he usually gagged his victims with a sock, also using cables and cord extensions found on site.
The absence of fingerprints in the first cases suggested to the investigators that he always wore gloves when he attacked the women; it would eventually turn out that he used a pair of socks to cover his hands.
On May 23, 2008, Lassana Coulibaly was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for rape, attempted rape and sexual assault, as the court did not uphold torture and barbarity.
She showed promise as a juvenile in 2017 when she won the second of her two starts and went on to demonstrate high class form in the following year, winning the Atalanta Stakes and running third in both the Coronation Stakes and the Nassau Stakes.
She was from the second crop of foals sired by Frankel, an undefeated racehorse whose other progeny have included Cracksman, Logician, Anapurna, Soul Stirring and Without Parole.
Veracious's dam Infallible showed top-class form, winning the Nell Gwyn Stakes and finishing second in both the Coronation Stakes and the Falmouth Stakes and went on to be a successful broodmare who produced several other winners including Mutakayyef (Summer Mile Stakes).
Veracious made her racecourse debut on 22 September in a minor event over seven furlongs at Newbury Racecourse in which she started the 3/1 favourite and finished third behind Magnolia Springs and Melodies.
On 13 October the filly contested a maiden race over the same distance at Newmarket Racecourse and was made the 3/1 second choice in a twelve-runner field.
After an absence of more than eight months, Veracious made a belated three-year-old debut in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot on 22 June in which she was ridden by Frankie Dettori.
Starting a 14/1 outsider she took the lead at half way and although she was overtaken by Alpha Centauri approaching the final furlong she kept on well to finish third of the twelve runners with Billesdon Brook , Clemmie and Teppal running behind.
With Dettori again in the saddle she ran third behind Wild Illusion and Urban Fox with Billesdon Brook in fourth and Rhododendron coming home last of the six runners.
Veracious was partnered by Moore on 1 September when she was dropped back in class for the Group 3 Atalanta Stakes at Sandown Park and started the 10/11 favourite against five opponents.
I was in front earlier than I would have wanted, but she can only win and there was a bit left in the tank at the end.
She was in contention for most of the way before fading in the closing stages and coming home sixth of the nine runners behind Laurens.
On 5 May Veracious made her first appearance as a four-year-old in the Group 2 Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket in which she started the 5/4 favourite but finished fourth to Worth Waiting after looking to be outpaced in the final stages of the nine furlong contest.
She was the beaten favourite again in the Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom Racecourse on 1 June when she came home third behind Anna Nerium and Awesometank.
Having been ridden by Moore on her first starts of the year she was partnered by Oisin Murphy when she finished fourth behind Move Swiftly in the Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Murphy was again in the saddle when Veracious contested the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes over one mile at Newmarket on 12 July and started the 6/1 fifth choice in a six-runner field.
The Irish filly I Can Fly (runner-up in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes) started favourite with the other contenders being One Master, Qabala (Nell Gwyn Stakes), Beshaayir (Lanwades Stud Stakes) and Mot Juste (Oh So Sharp Stakes).
In a change of tactics Veracious was sent into the lead from the start and was never headed, staying on well under pressure in the closing stages to win by a neck from One Master with I Can Fly almost three lengths back in third.
She ran very well at Ascot but was always doing a little too much, and we didn't want that again today.
She recovered from a slow start to take the lead approaching the final furlong but was overtaken in the closing stages by Billesdon Brook and beaten one and a half lengths into second place.
Two weeks later on her final run of the year the filly was matched against male opposition in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on heavy ground at Ascot.
Ridden by Jason Watson, she led from the start and opened up a clear lead on her rivals before tiring in the last quarter mile and finishing fourth behind King of Change.

Yves Pons (born 7 March 1999) is a French college basketball player for the Tennessee Volunteers of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).
When he was four years old, he was adopted by a French couple, Babeth and Jean-Claude Pons, and immediately moved to France with them.
Pons attended French sports institute INSEP, in Paris, and played for its affiliated club Centre Fédéral de Basket-ball in the Nationale Masculine 1 (NM1), the amateur third-tier division of French basketball.
Pons decided to play college basketball in the United States for Tennessee under head coach Rick Barnes, after being recruited by assistant coach Michael Schwartz.
He became the first four-star recruit to play for Barnes at Tennessee and the first French men's basketball player in school history.
Pons averaged 2.2 points per game as a sophomore, but put in a lot of work on his game after the season.
He saw considerable improvement as a junior, scoring a career-high 15 points in his season debut versus UNC Asheville and eclipsing that mark in his next game after scoring 19 versus Murray State.
Pons won a gold medal with France at the 2014 FIBA Europe Under-16 Championship in Latvia, after averaging 3.8 points per game.
He averaged 10.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game at the 2016 FIBA Under-17 World Championship in Zaragoza, Spain, as his team finished in sixth place.
In 2019, Pons joined France at the FIBA U20 European Championship in Tel Aviv, Israel, where he averaged 2.6 points per game for the fourth-place team.

Along her journey, Yasmine meets a cast of characters and real New York personalities, each living in their own form of exile: a lonely piano player who’s never played his music out loud; a mother who regrets the birth of her six-year-old; a lonely grandmother nostalgic for her salsa music past and the Mission who is there to help, but only if she’s willing to play by their rules.
It was highlighted as a recommended film to watch for both the Bushwick Film Festival and the Festival Du Nouveau Cinéma.
The film features Aravind Akash, Yugendran and newcomer Sona in lead roles, with Raghuvaran, Malaysia Vasudevan, Thalaivasal Vijay, Karunas, M. N. Rajam, Pasi Sathya, Shanthi Williams and Srilatha playing supporting roles.
Manik's garage stands just in front of a ladies hostel where Nithya (Sona) lives and Manik is in love with her.
The morning, Nithya acts as a soft-spoken woman to the hostel warden and she leaves the hostels in a traditional dress which makes Manik falling in love with her.
Manik decides to impress Nithya's father Shanmugam (Malaysia Vasudevan) who lives in a village and Manik helps him sorting out a case.
Shanmugam then promises him to give his daughter in marriage and Nithya finally sees Manik at the engagement in her village.
Manik then plays a double game: on the one hand, Manik advises his friend Raja to behave violently towards his wife and on the other hand, Manik blindly supports Nithya in her decisions.
To prove that the women are equal to men, Nithya asks Manik to marry her at the registrar office and invites Raja.
Manik tells Nithya that he doesn't do it to take revenge on her but to make her understand that Raja is a good husband who is still in love with her.
Heckscher Playground is a play area located in New York City's Central Park, located close to Central Park South between Sixth Avenue and Seventh Avenue.
Initially, it faced opposition from groups who did not want a playground within the Central Park landscape, but the playground grew popular with middle- and working-class families after its opening.
A design competition was held for Central Park in 1857; applicants were required to conform to several specifications, including at least three playgrounds of between .
The winning plan, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux's Greensward Plan, included a play area called the Children's District in the southern part of Central Park.
In April 1925, New York City park commissioner Francis D. Gallatin announced that on the west side of Central Park would be set aside for a play area funded by the philanthropist August Heckscher, who was providing the money through the Heckscher Foundation for Children.
Yet others said that the mere presence of a children's play area would cause the condition of Central Park to deteriorate.
At the opening of his namesake playground, Heckscher announced that he would start a program to raise $3 million for Central Park improvements.
Among the proposed improvements were the construction of additional athletic fields; the landscaping of the wading pool; planting of additional trees; and installation of extra play structures.
Additionally, August Heckscher paid for a $15,000 memorial to social reformer Sophie Irene Loeb, one of the earliest supporters for a playground in Central Park.
To make way for the playground's expansion, a bridge called the Oval/Spur Rock Arch was destroyed in 1934, and the bridle path through the playground was cut off.
At the time, the New York City Subway's 63rd Street lines were being built, with their planned routes running directly under the south side of Central Park.
The city's parks commissioner, August Heckscher II (the grandson of the playground's namesake) expressed concern that the brand-new playground would have to be destroyed to make way for the excavation of the 63rd Street lines, located directly below the playground site.
In early 1971, the subway system's operator New York City Transit Authority agreed to reduce construction time from three years to two years and construct a temporary playground nearby.
When demolition of the playground commenced in August 1971, just fourteen months after its renovation, several people protested against the construction of the subway lines directly under the brand-new playground.
The Heckscher play area is located in the southern portion of Central Park, close to Central Park South between Sixth Avenue and Seventh Avenue.
It is bounded by the 65th Street transverse road to the north, West Drive to the west and south, and Center Drive to the east.
Nearby park features include Sheep Meadow to the north, across the 65th Street transverse; Central Park Carousel and the Chess & Checkers House to the northeast; and the Dairy and Wollman Rink to the east, across Center Drive.
Heckscher Playground consists of 14 swings, several slides, seesaws, a sandbox, and an open space made of artificial turf and rubber playground surfacing.
In addition, it includes a large climbing structure with a water feature at the top, from which water flows downward into the climbing structure through a series of crevices.
Rat Rock, an outcrop of Manhattan schist popular among boulderers, is located just west of the play area and south of the softball fields.
It features the singer stepping into a light that previously illuminated him and performing next to a Lamborghini in front of a fire afterwards.
The song was released in 1994 and reached number 8 in Ireland, and number 9 in Norway and the United Kingdom.
The note proposed the civic pilgrimage to the Gaucho Ricardo Güiraldes Museum, in San Antonio de Areco, in homage and as an effective consecration of that day.
4756/39, promulgated on August 18, 1939, and published in the Official Gazette, coming into effect on September 9 of the same year.
It will start as soon on 21 September 2019 with the first round of the regular season and will end on 17 May 2020 with the promotion playoffs.
The Conference A will consist of 2 groups of 15 and 14 teams from Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, Castile and León, Navarre, La Rioja and Basque Country.
The two best teams of each conference; the third of Conferences A, B, C and E; and the fourth of Conferences B and C will play the promotion playoffs.
The church was established in 1985 as a ‘mission church' by members of Truro Episcopal Church (Fairfax, Virginia) and is listed in a book compiled in 1989 by Don Massey for the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia.
Epiphany Episcopal Church (AKA Epiphany) is one of 179 churches currently included in the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia within The Episcopal Church of the United States, comprising some 73,000 Diocese members.
The Church of the Epiphany Episcopal was established in 1985 when 15 congregation members from Truro Episcopal Church in Fairfax sought to establish a mission church in Western Fairfax County.
Based on growing needs in the early 2000’s, the Church of the Epiphany Episcopal congregation held a successful capital campaign titled ‘Building on Christ’s Cornerstone.’ They mortgaged construction of a new Sanctuary and Nave (worship hall), a small chapel, classrooms and a Gathering Space in 2006, greatly increasing the building footprint to nearly 40,000 square feet.
Members of several Episcopal congregations in Virginia subsequently began to take issue with some of the decisions made at the 2003 General Convention.
In 2006, many members of the Church of the Epiphany Episcopal congregation voted to break from the Episcopal Church over above-noted theological and governance issues, and this portion of the congregation stayed at the facilities on Hidden Meadow Drive.
On July 8, 2007, the founding members held a meeting of 18 congregationalists and reconstituted the Church of the Epiphany Episcopal.
From 2007 to 2012, Epiphany Episcopal Church members first met at congregation member homes and then met in rented space in the nearby Oak Hill Elementary School cafeteria.
The legal challenge filed by The Episcopal Church on behalf of the Virginia Episcopalian congregations was resolved on January 10, 2012 following 22 days of testimony over the period of April to June 2011 with over 60 witnesses and more than a thousand pages of documents.
The return of Episcopal properties in Virginia was reported in news media including sources such the Associated Press and The Washington Post The [[Shannon_Johnston|Rt.
Epiphany Episcopal Church reclaimed tenancy of the buildings located on Hidden Meadow Drive in May 2012; the facilities continue to be owned by The Episcopal Church's Diocese of Virginia.
West was named as Rector following the parish Annual Meeting held on February 16, 2016 and was officially installed on August 11, 2016.
The 1988 Southwest Conference Baseball Tournament was the league's annual postseason tournament used to determine the Southwest Conference's (SWC) automatic bid to the 1988 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.
The tournament was held from May 19 through May 22 at George Cole Field on the campus of The University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, AR.
The 1962 Florida A&M Rattlers football team was an American football team that represented Florida A&M University as a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) in the 1962 NCAA College Division football season.
The team's statistical leaders included Robert Paremore with 629 rushing yards, 10 touchdowns and 64 points scored, Jim Tullis with 957 passing yards, and Al Denson with 461 receiving yards.
At the same time, viruses have co-evolved evasion machinery to address the many ways that host organisms attempt to eradicate them.
DNA and RNA viruses use complex methods to evade immune cell detection through disruption of the Interferon Signaling Pathway, remodeling of cellular architecture, targeted gene silencing, and recognition protein cleavage.
The human immune system relies on a plethora of cell-cell signaling pathways to transmit information about a cell's health and microenvironment.
Type-I Interferons, IFN-α/β, and Type-III Interferons, IFN-λ play key roles in adaptive immunity, acting as communication highways between cells infected with foreign double stranded DNA or double stranded RNA.
Mammalian cells utilize specialized receptors known as Pattern Recognition Receptors(PRRs) to detect viral infection; these receptors are able to recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) inscribed in viral DNA and RNA.
These pattern recognition receptors, often localized to either the cytosol or the nucleus, are responsible for notifying infected cells and initiating the secretion of interferon cytokines.
Groups have found that positive-strand RNA viruses and dsRNA viruses produced significant amounts of dsRNA, but the precise methods mammalian cells leverage to distinguish between self vs. non-self dsRNA have yet to be uncovered.
Cytoplasmic PKR is often associated with the ribosome in mammalian cells where it is able to recognize double-stranded and single-stranded RNA and subsequently phosphorylate varies substrates, arresting protein synthesis.
While the PKR The roles of PKR activation have been deeply studied with groups finding that it is insensitive to the presence of short dsRNA and siRNA but showing significant affinity for dsRNA and ssRNA with secondary structure.
Groups have found that the Interferon Signaling promotes the activation of a 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthestase, sensitive to the presence of dsRNA longer than 15 base pairs.
Because this mechanism is not sensitive to self vs. non-self dsRNA binding, results indicate overall reduction in protein synthesis but indicated no specificity for a sole reduction of viral protein synthesis.
In recent years, studies have focused on how viruses evade Pattern Recognition Receptors, target adaptor proteins and their kinases, inhibit transcription factors for Interferon induction, and evade Interferon Stimulated Genes.
Viruses of the flaviviridae Family, such as hepatitis C virus, have developed complex viral mechanisms to rearrange the cell membrane, creating a membranaceous web designed to house viral replication machinery.
These viruses utilize endogenous host cell nuclear pore complex proteins to shield viral RNA from Pattern Recognition Receptors by excluding PRRs from the interior of the viral membrane compartment.
By utilizing architectural rearrangement of the membrane, viruses have developed a method to evade cytoplasm localized pattern recognition proteins such as RIG-I.
In order to evade pattern recognition, other viruses such as Enterovirus have evolved multi-functional proteins that not only help in viral protein processing but also cleave cytoplasmic recognition proteins MDA5 and RIG-I, further demonstrating the extent to which viruses can reduce Interferon Signaling through various pathways.
Other viruses have been reported to target upstream activators of pattern recognition proteins, antagonizing upstream proteins that removed inhibitory post-translational modifications.
Upon entry into the host cell cytoplasm, the HIV-1 capsid is recognized and bound by cyclophilin A (CypA); this affinity interaction stabilizes the capsid and prevents exposure of the HIV-1 cDNA to pattern recognition receptors in the cytoplasm.
The provincial capital Gorgan lies to the south of the plain, which covers an area of about and is situated between 37°00' and 37°30' north latitude, and between 54°00' and 54°30' east longitude.
The annual precipitation in the south of the plain is about which is much higher than the just to the north.
The sites are thought to relate to the Jeitun culture of southern Turkmenistan and may date to the sixth millennium BC, judging by the age of the artefacts found at Sang-i Chakmak.
The Great Wall of Gorgan was built between about 420 AD and 530s AD by the Sasanian Empire on the northern edge of the plain between the Caspian Sea and the mountains.
The wall and forts along it were built of red mudbrick and fired brick, and to provide the water necessary for the manufacture of the bricks, a system of canals was dug across the plain; one canal paralleled the wall, which had to follow the natural gradient, while others were fed from supplier canals, which bridged the Gorgan River with the help of qanats.
A mile to the south of the wall lies Qaleh Kharabeh, a fort that may have housed a garrison serving on the wall.

At the 24 November 1880 mayoral election, Webb challenged the incumbent, Harry Allwright, for the Lyttelton mayoralty, but Allwright beat off his challenger by 197 to 108 votes.
At the 30 November 1881 mayoral election, the result between Allwright and Webb was much closer, with just nine votes between them.
Just over a week later, Webb, Allwright, and Edward Richardson contested the Lyttelton electorate in the 1881 general election and the outcome was equally close.
Allwright retired from the mayoralty at the end of his 1882 term and the 29 November 1882 election was won by Webb, who beat Bryan Weyburne by 195 votes to 131.
At the 28 November 1883, Webb was challenged by Hugh Macdonald and was reconfirmed by a one-vote-margin: 158 votes to 157.
At the 22 July 1884 general election, Webb once again contested the Lyttelton electorate but was beaten by Allwright, the incumbent.
The 30 November 1887 mayoral election was contested by Webb and James Boyton Milsom, won by Webb with 181 votes to 130.
The same candidates contested the 28 November 1888 mayoral election, with Webb again successful, having received 194 votes to Milsom's 136.
Webb contested the 1896 general election and of the three candidates, he came a distant last with 13% of the vote.
In April 1902, the mayoralty was contested by James Grubb and Webb, with a decisive win for Grubb with 464 votes to 184.
At the December 1905 general election, Webb was one of four candidates in the Lyttelton electorate and he came last with 7.6% of the vote.
At the 25 April 1906 mayoral election, Webb was challenged by former mayor William Radcliffe but retained his position, with 354 votes to 236.
Former mayor Joseph Thomas Brice and councillor Colin Kay challenged Webb for the mayoralty at the 24 April 1907 election, but Webb had a comfortable win.
He attended his last borough council on 26 April 1913; he had thus been almost continuously on the council as either a councillor or mayor for more than three decades.
Important decisions made during Webb's term as mayor included a better drinking water supply (with wells sunk in Heathcote Valley) and an improved sewage system.
She is the only one of Esarhaddon's daughters who is known by name and inscriptions listing the royal children suggest that she outranked several of her brothers in importance; outranking younger male children such as Ashur-mukin-paleya but ranking behind the crown princes Ashurbanipal and Shamash-shum-ukin.
Although she is mentioned in several royal inscriptions, she is most known for her letter dated 670 BC to Ashurbanipal's wife (her sister-in-law) Libbali-sharrat in which she reminds the future queen that Serua-eterat outranks her as she is a king's daughter and also reprimands her for not doing her homework.
A later Aramaic story has her play a central role in attempting to broker peace between Ashurbanipal and Shamash-shum-ukin on the eve of their civil war 652 BC and disappearing after Ashurbanipal kills his brother.
Esarhaddon, who reigned as king of Assyria 681–669 BC, had several daughters, but Serua-eterat is the only one known by name.
Because lists of the royal children are inconsistent in order, it is difficult to determine the age of Serua-eterat relative to her male siblings.
She is usually listed after the crown princes Ashurbanipal (who was set to inherit Assyria) and Shamash-shum-ukin (who was set to inherit Babylon) but ahead of the younger brothers Ashur-mukin-paleya and Ashur-etel-shame-erseti-muballissu.
Her name is listed among the names of her brothers in a document concerning the foods and potential gifts of the New Year's celebration and is also named in a grant by Ashurbanipal.
She is known to have performed sacrifices to the god Nabu together with the male children and to have been present at events and ceremonial banquets alongside her male siblings.
She also appears in a text from the reign of Esarhaddon or Ashurbanipal wherein Nabu-nadin-shumi, the chief exorcist in Babylonia, writes to the princess to say that he is praying for her father and for her.
She might have been the daughter of Esarhaddon who was intended to marry Bartatua, a Scythian king, but this marriage probably never took place' and she was still living in the royal palace at Nineveh 670 BC, near the end of Esarhaddon's reign.
Some scholars have interpreted the letter as a sign that there was sometimes social tension between the denizens of the ancient Assyrian royal palace.
The role Serua-eterat played in the court of her brother Ashurbanipal once Esarhaddon was dead and her eventual fate is unknown.
A later Aramaic story based on the civil war between her brothers Ashurbanipal and Shamash-shum-ukin (652–648 BC) gives Serua-eterat a central role in the negotiations before the civil war started, 652 BC.
The 2018 Utah House of Representatives election was held in the U.S. state of Utah on November 6, 2018, to elect members to the House of Representatives of the 63rd Utah State Legislature.
The Qwabe chiefdom (amaQwabe) is the senior branch of the House of Malandela the royal Embo-Nguni family, descendant from Qwabe(1575) the son of Malandela or Mayandeya the king of the Embo-Nguni.
The amaQwabe are the senior and larger clan of the Makhanya and the Zulu clans all descending from one common ancestor, Malandela.
They are descendant from Qwabe (whose name means a Large 'musical bow'/single-stringed harp) the eldest son of Malandela and his wife Nozidiya/Nozinja of the Zungu clan.
In accordance with Embo-Nguni customary practices when Qwabe inherited the chieftainship, he went and built a new homestead to serve as the center of the kingdom.
At its peak the amaQwabe occupied central KwaZulu-Natal, they were found beneath the Amandawe and Ngoye Hills, south of the Mhlathuze River until it reached the Mthethwa and Dube areas, up the Mhlathuze River almost as far as Nkandla forest, winding up between the Mhlathuze and Tugela Rivers and finally overflowing into Natal.
Before amaQwabe occupation the area between the Mhlathuze and Tugela rivers was occupied by the Cele clan a sub-branch of the Mthethwa kingdom.
The Qwabe drove out the Thuli and Cele clans as well as the amaMbili, amaKwela and amaKomo tribes, from between the Mhlathuze and the Tugela rivers into the coast district of Natal.
The expansion of this kingdom over territory and smaller chiefdom was enough to regard it as one of the few larger kingdoms of the region.
The kingdom under Phakawayo kaKhondlo and generally was characterized by seven large villages, each headed by an important member from the ruling lineage.
Jason Shoaf is a Republican politician who currently serves as a member of the Florida House of Representatives, representing the 7th District, which includes Calhoun, Franklin, Gulf, Jefferson, Lafayette, Liberty, Madison, Taylor, and Wakulla Counties, and part of Leon County, since he was first elected in a 2019 special election.
Shoaf worked as a businessman prior to entering politics, serving as the vice-president of St. Joe Natural Gas Company and Gulf South Self Storage and Alliance Property Management.
He was appointed to the board of the Port St. Joe Port Authority Board and to the board of Triumph Golf Coast, a state-run non-profit tasked with disbursing funds recovered from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Following Halsey Beshear's resignation from the House to serve as Secretary of the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, a special election was held to replace Beshears in the House.
Shoaf announced that he would run in the special election, and faced Lynda Bell, the Sneads City Manager and a former Miami-Dade County Commissioner; and 2018 congressional candidate Virginia Fulle in the primary election.
He was endorsed by several prominent North Florida Republican politicians—former State House Speaker Allan Bense, former State Senate President Don Gaetz, and Congressman Matt Gaetz—while Watkins was endorsed by local sheriffs and the state's police and firefighter unions and Bell was endorsed by a right-to-life group.
The campaign grew heated and personal, with a fight between Shoaf and Watkins almost breaking out after Watkins alleged that Shoaf touched his fiancée, an allegation Shoaf denied.
Ultimately, despite the perceived closeness of the race, Shoaf ended up winning by a wide margin, receiving 49% of the vote to Watkins's 27%, Bell's 20%, and Fuller's 4%.
Against Terrell, Shoaf focused on his conservative positions, like his support for Donald Trump, gun rights, and anti-abortion legislation, but also campaigned on nonpartisan issues, like helping the district recover from Hurricane Michael.
Ultimately, despite the district's Democratic voter registration and history of supporting downballot Democratic candidates, Shoaf prevailed over Terrell in a landslide, winning 71% of the vote to Terrell's 29%.
The Greenbelt-Glenmont Line, designated as C7 & C9, was a former line operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority from September, 2000, all the way up to June 28, 2009, between both the Greenbelt & Glenmont Metro Stations, only during weekday rush hour/peak period commuter times.
From February 19, 1978, all the way up until January, 1985 , C7 initially operated all the way between the Silver Spring Metro Station & former E.J.
In January, 1985, shortly after both the Grosvenor & Twinbrook Metro Stations opened, C7 was truncated to only operate between the Silver Spring & Twinbrook Metro Stations, via the Parklawn Building & Grosvenor Metro Station.
This particular line was created as an experiment by WMATA in order to improve the cross-county Metrobus connections between both Prince George's County, MD & Montgomery County, MD.
Both C7 & C9 would operate on different routing between the Greenbelt Metro Station and intersection of Randolph Road & Old Columbia Pike in Fairland, MD.
Both C7 & C9 would then rejoin each other and operate on the exact same routing between the intersection of Randolph Road & Old Columbia Pike in Fairland, MD and the Glenmont Metro Station, via Randolph Road & Georgia Avenue (MD 97).
The reason why this particular route change was made was so that the same level of Metrobus service could be provided on the segment of the former Z1 Metrobus Route between the Verizon Chesapeake Complex & Glenmont Metro Station, via Muskgrove Road, Fairland Road, Tamarack Road, Randolph Road, & Georgia Avenue (MD 97), as the Z1 Metrobus Route was discontinued during this time.
However; C9 not only managed to replace the segment of C7's routing on Randolph Road between the intersections of Old Columbia Pike & Tamarack Road in Fairland, MD, but also the segment of the former Z4 Metrobus Route between the intersection of Randolph Road & Old Columbia Pike and the Glenmont Metro Station, which was discontinued on September 26, 2004.
The segment of C7's routing between the Greenbelt Metro Station and intersection of Sunnyside Avenue & Tucker Road in Beltsville, MD, was completely taken over by both the 89 & 89M Metrobus Routes.
There was no replacement Metrobus service provided on the intersections of both Tucker Road & Ewing Road, which C7 operated on.
The segment of C7's routing between the intersection of Rhode Island Avenue & Baltimore Avenue (U.S. Route 1) & the Centerpark Office Park in Beltsville, MD, was fully taken over by the 86 Metrobus Route, which has its Calverton terminus inside the Centerpark Office Park in Beltsville, MD.
The segment of C7's routing between the intersection of Beltsville Drive & Powder Mill Road (MD 212) in Calverton, MD & intersection of Broadbirch Drive & Plum Orchard Drive in Westfarm, MD, was fully taken over by both the R2 & R5 Metrobus Routes.
The segment of C9's routing between the Greenbelt Metro Station and intersection of Baltimore Avenue (U.S. Route 1) & Greenbelt Road (MD 193), was fully taken over by both the 81 & C2 Metrobus routes.
The segment of C9's routing on Baltimore Avenue (U.S. Route 1) between the intersections of Greenbelt Road (MD 193) & Cherry Hill Road, was fully taken over by the 86 Metrobus Route.
The segment of C9's routing on Cherry Hill Road between the intersection of Baltimore Avenue (U.S. Route 1) & the Cherry Hill Park Campground, via the Seven Springs Village Apartment Complex, was fully taken over by both the 81 & 83 Metrobus routes.
No replacement Metrobus service was provided on Cherry Hill Road between the Cherry Hill Park Campground and intersection of Powder Mill Road (MD 212).
Although both the R2 & R5 Metrobus Routes replaced the segment of C9's routing on Cherry Hill Road between the intersections of Powder Mill Road (MD 212) & Broadbirch Drive, R2 & R5 only operated on that particular stretch of Cherry Hill Road after returning back from their Calverton terminus at the intersection of Plum Orchard Drive & Broadbirch Drive.
This meant that there would be no replacement service on Cherry Hill Road between the intersections of Powder Mill Road (MD 212) & Broadbirch Drive, in the westbound direction.
There would also be no replacement Metrobus service on the segment of C9's routing on Cherry Hill Road between the intersections of Broadbirch Drive & Old Columbia Pike.
The segment of C7's former routing between the intersection of Calverton Boulevard & Galway Drive in Calverton, MD & the intersection of Tech Road & Columbia Pike (U.S. Route 29) in Fairland, MD, was fully taken over by the Z6 Metrobus Route.
The segment of C9's routing between the intersection of Randolph Road & Old Columbia Pike and intersection of Randolph Road & Tamarack Road in Fairland, MD, and C7 & C9's routing between the intersection of Randolph Road & Tamarack Road in Fairland, MD and intersection of Randolph Road & New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650) in Colesville, MD, was completely replaced by Montgomery County Ride On bus route 10.
The remaining segment C7 & C9's routing between the intersection of Randolph Road & New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650) in Colesville, MD & the Glenmont Metro Station, was fully taken over by the C8 Metrobus Route.
The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Beijing (; ) is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Indonesia to the People's Republic of China.
Mahdi was then appointed Chargé d'affaires of the mission until the arrival of the first Indonesian ambassador to China, Arnold Mononutu.
The period between the failed 30 September Movement in 1965 and the transfer of power in Indonesia from Sukarno to Suharto in 1967 saw the deterioration of Indonesia–China relations.
The Indonesian government assumed that China was involved in the 30 September Movement that killed six high ranking generals of the Indonesian National Armed Forces.
Several large demonstrations in front of the Indonesian embassy included in April when 'revoluationary masses' forced their way into the embassy and in August when the Red Guards stormed the embassy.
The Indonesian government deemed that the ambassador in China at the time, Djawoto, was left-leaning and sympathetic to the Communist Party of Indonesia.
After more than 20 years of frozen diplomatic relations, on 23 February 1989, Indonesia and China announced that the two countries would restart diplomatic relations.
This statement was announced after a meeting between President Suharto and Foreign Minister Qian Qichen of China in Tokyo, Japan, during Suharto's visit to the country to attend the funeral of Emperor Hirohito.
On 3 July 1990, a joint communiqué signed in Beijing stated that the official restart of diplomatic relations will commence on 8 August 1990.
After the relations recommenced in 1990, the chancery was located at Building B of the Sanlitun Diplomatic Building Office in the Chaoyang District.
The building was originally used as a facility for dispensing justice but, following the implementation of the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, which established county councils in every county, it also became the meeting place for Limerick County Council.
After a modern courthouse facility was opened in Mulgrave Street in March 2018, the old courthouse at Merchant's Quay was converted into offices.
Go East Anglia originally did not operate any buses in its own right, with all being legally operated by Konectbus Limited, H.C.Chambers & Son Limited or Hedingham & District Omnibuses Limited.

A scion of a prominent Hudson River family, Ludlow was born in 1810 on Greenwich Street in New York City, which was a fashionable residential area at the time.
Among his siblings was older brother Robert Henry Ludlow (who married Cornelia Le Roy) and Ann Eliza Gabriella Ludlow (wife of Horatio Gates Lewis).
His paternal grandparents were Gabriel George Ludlow and Anne (née Verplanck) Ludlow (sister of Gulian Verplanck, the Federalist Speaker of the New York State Assembly).
The first Ludlow in America was Gabriel Ludlow, who settled in New Amsterdam in 1694 and became a prominent and influential merchant and a clerk of the New York General Assembly.
Ludlow studied medicine and duly received his degrees and diploma from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1831 before becoming a medical doctor.
After practicing medicine for a few years, he turned to business, relinquishing his practice and in 1836 opening a real estate office at 11 Broad Street.
In 1850, however, he returned to New York and went into partnership with General Edward Jones Mallett (former Consul-General to Italy during the U.S. Civil War) until Mattlett's retirement in 1856.
In 1856, Ludlow entered into a partnership with Morris Wilkins under the same name as the predecessor firm, E. H. Ludlow & Co., with principal offices located on Pine Street in lower Manhattan.
The firm of auctioneers, real estate agents and brokers, which was the most prominent in New York City, offered to lease Edgewood, the former estate of Frederick Prime (youngest son of banker Nathaniel Prime) on the Long Island Sound.
of New York Edward Philip Livingston and his wife, Elizabeth Stevens Livingston (eldest daughter of Chancellor Robert R. Livingston and granddaughter of Continental Congressman John Stevens).
Situated next to Northwood (her brother Robert Edward Livingston's estate), Pine Lawn was the furthest north of the five subdivisions his father-in-law made to his children.
After a period of feeble health, Ludlow died on November 27, 1884 at 21 East 24th Street, his residence in New York City.
Dr. Charles Comfort Tiffany was held at the Zion Church at Madison Avenue and 38th Street, his remains were interred in the family vault at Tivoli.
Through his son Edward, he was a grandfather of two: Susan Livingston Ludlow, who married Henry Parrish Jr. in 1884, and Edward Hunter Ludlow II, named after him.
Through his daughter Mary, he was a grandfather of seven, including: Anna Rebecca Hall (1863–1892), who married Elliott Bulloch Roosevelt (brother of President Theodore Roosevelt); Valentine Hall III (1867–1934); and Edward Ludlow Hall (1872–1932).
Through his granddaughter Anna, he was the great-grandfather of Gracie Hall Roosevelt and First Lady of the United States Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of her fifth cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Sante Portalupi (1 November 1909 – 31 March 1984) was an Italian prelate of the Catholic Church who spent his career in the diplomatic service of the Holy See.
From 1959 until his death he held the senior position as apostolic delegate or apostolic nuncio in several countries in Latin America and Africa, ending his career as Apostolic Nuncio to Portugal.
In the years that followed, the Holy See established relationships with countries within Portalupi's mandate as delegate, and he took on the additional titles of Apostolic Pro-Nuncio to Algeria on 6 March 1972, Pro-Nuncio to Tunisia on 22 March 1972, and Pro-Nuncio to Morocco on 5 March 1976.
These modifications left his role as Delegate to Northern Africa with responsibility for a single country, and his delegate's title changed to Apostolic Delegate to Libya.
When Pope John Paul sought to fulfill the instructions relayed by Sister Lúcia of Fatima calling for the consecration of Russia to the Virgin Mary, Portalupi interviewed her in 1982 and again in 1983 to ascertain whether the instructions had been carried out properly.
Allegheny Airlines Flight 604 was a regularly scheduled daily flight from Pittsburgh International Airport in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey via DuBois, Philipsburg, Williamsport and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Forty occupants were on board (36 passengers and 4 crew members) when during the Williamsport to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton leg a right engine failure and subsequent failure to follow engine out procedures by the flight crew caused the aircraft to crash northeast of the Williamsport Regional Airport.
The aircraft a Convair CV-440 (serial number: 125) registered N8415H had 26,266 hours on the air frame and had been delivered to Allegheny in 1953.
Flight crew included Captain Allen J. Lauber hired in 1955 he was time certified in the DC-3, CV240/340/440 as well as M 2-0-2.
First officer James P. McClure was hired by the airline in 1961, had 5,061 hours total time and 1,410 hrs in the CV-440.
Flight attendant Barbara A. Creske was hired in 1963 and had mandatory recurring emergency training the month prior to the crash.
Flight 604 departed from runway 09 at Williamsport Regional Airport when personnel in the airports control tower noticed smoke trailing from the right engine.
An aircraft mechanic at the airport estimated to aircraft to be at 500 ft above the runway threshold of the 27 end of runway 09/27.
A witness in her yard estimated the aircraft to be 700 to 900 feet above her house when it passed overhead and disappeared beyond a ridge.
The aircraft bounced several times, the left wing was ripped off 38 feet from the tip by a telephone pole, the right wing was ripped off 24 feet from the tip after digging into the hill.
Vladislav Borisovich Kosarev (; born 16 November 1937) is a Kazakhstani politician, member of Mazhilis, secretary of the Communist People's Party of Kazakhstan (QKHP) and the leader of the People's Communist group from 2012 to 2018.
He worked as a tractor driver on the Borovsk state farm in the Rusayevsk region of Kokshetau Oblast and then served in the Soviet army from 1956 to 1959.

David Augustus Clarkson (September 6, 1793 – November 24, 1850) was a Hudson River valley landowner and member of several prominent families.
On October 4, 1827, Clarkson was married to Margaret Livingston (1808–1874) at Clermont, the Livingston family estate on the Hudson River.
of New York Edward Philip Livingston and his wife, Elizabeth Stevens Livingston (eldest daughter of Chancellor Robert R. Livingston and granddaughter of Continental Congressman John Stevens).
After this death in 1850, his wife divided their Hudson River estate into two, with the north lot (containing Chiddingstone) going to son Thomas, who razed the elder Clarkson's home and, around 1860, constructed a new Italianate and classical brick home in its place, also called Chiddingstone.
After her death in 1860, the property was sold to William H. Hunt of New Orleans for his wife Elizabeth Ridgely (a great-granddaughter of Chancellor Livingston through his daughter Margaret).
Through his daughter Elizabeth, he was a grandfather of Robert Morgan Gibbes Barnwell (1858–1930), who married Elizabeth Marie (daughter of Albin Marie) in 1883.
Through his son Thomas, he was a grandfather of David Augustus Clarkson (1858–1952), an 1881 Columbia graduate who served as president of the Real Estate Board of Brokers.
Rosskeen is a parish in Ross and Cromarty on the Cromarty Firth in northern Scotland, containing the settlements of Invergordon, Bridgend and Saltburn.
She was born in Paris to Suzanne Lang and Dr. Léon Zadoc-Kahn, former Chief Medical Officer of the in Paris and president of the central committee of Keren haYesod France.
During her studies, she was a student of the Russian-born astronomer Benjamin Jekhowsky, of the Paris Observatory and then at the Algiers Observatory.
She had regular contact with leading contemporary scientists of the day, including theoretical physicist Satyendra Nath Bose, to whom she was introduced by her father's friend, Sylvain Lévi, an expert in Sanskrit and oriental studies.
He retained a deep personal affection for her, later relating to her the conversations and lectures of Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger.
She married Jacques Charles Eisenmann, an engineer from Dijon two years her elder, on 22 December 1930 in the 8th arrondissement of Paris.
When the French forces were defeated by Nazi Germany in 1940, her brother, Bertrand Zadoc-Kahn (20 November 1901 - 17 June 1940), a cardiologist at the American Hospital of Paris, committed suicide by shooting himself.
The American financier, Eugene Meyer, had offered sanctuary to her father - Meyer's cousin - in the U.S.A., as he had already resettled two other families of his European relatives; the Zadoc-Kahns declined, however, so deeply affected were they by their son's death.
During the Vichy government era of World War II that followed, her parents were sent to Auschwitz concentration camp, amongst 76,000 Jews who were rounded up and deported from France; they were killed in the camp in 1943.; She herself was hidden by a Roman Catholic family for the duration of the war.
She met Bose again upon his return to Europe in 1951, an event which she described as her first happiness after the death of her parents.
1017 Jacqueline, a carbonaceous asteroid, discovered in 1924 by her former teacher Benjamin Jekhowsky at the Algiers Observatory, was named in her honour.
Originally the regiment, like all Italian tank units, was part of the infantry, but since 1 June 1999 it is part of the cavalry.
The regiment was formed on 15 September 1936 in Rome as 4th Tank Infantry Regiment with six battalions: VIII, IX, X, and XII assault tanks battalions and the II and V breach tanks battalion.
During the same year the regiment raised two battalions for service in Libya: the XX Assault Tanks Battalion on 5 June and XXI Assault Tanks Battalion on 1 October.
For their service during the Western Desert Campaign the XX and XXI assault tanks battalions were each awarded a Bronze Medal of Military Valour, which are nowadays displayed on the war flag of the 4th Tank Regiment.
On 30 November the V Breach Tanks Battalion moved from Rome to Riva del Garda and joined the 1st Tank Infantry Regiment.
As the Fiat 3000 light tanks were obsolete the CCCXII battalion was transferred as garrison unit to Rhodes in the Italian Islands of the Aegean on 30 March 1940.
The I Tankers Grouping participated in the Italian invasion of Egypt in September, but stopped in Sidi Barrani, where the Italian units dug in.
When the British counterattack began on 9 December 1940 the Italian tank units were deployed piecemeal and easily defeated by the more numerous and better British tanks.
On 20 January during the British capture of Tobruk the position of the 4th regiment was overrun by the 19th Australian Brigade with such ferocity that 70% of the officers, including both battalion commanders, and 50% of the troops of the regiment were killed in action.
Between 10 June 1940 and 21 January 1941 the 4th Tank Infantry Regiment and the III and V tank battalions' casualties were: 15 officers killed and 14 wounded out of 34, and 148 soldiers killed and 244 wounded out of 538.
As of 2019 all three medals are attached to the 4th Tank Regiment's war flag and displayed on the regiment's coat of arms.
The regiment was officially declared lost on 25 January 1941 and reformed on 15 March 1941 in Rome as training unit.
Tank and armored battalions created during the 1975 army reform were all named for officers, soldiers and partisans, who were posthumously awarded Italy's highest military honor the Gold Medal of Military Valour during World War II.
The Command and Logistic Support Company fields the following platoons: C3 Platoon, Transport and Materiel Platoon, Medical Platoon, and Commissariat Platoon.
In total the regiment fields 54x Ariete main battle tanks: 13x per company, plus one for the battalion commander and one for the regiment commander.
The 2020 Orlando City SC season is the club's tenth season of existence in Orlando and sixth season in Major League Soccer, the top-flight league in the United States soccer league system.
On October 7, 2019, one day after the final game of the 2019 season, Orlando City parted ways with head coach James O'Connor.
On November 21, 2019, it was announced that a total of 14 players would not return either because their contract had expired, they had their contract option declined or, in the case of Danilo Acosta, they returned to their parent club after their loan expired.
Another notable departure was Cristian Higuita who had been the sole remaining member of the team's inaugural MLS roster in 2015 and departed as the club's leading appearance maker with 108 across all competitions.
Having emphasized the importance Homegrown players the previous offseason, Orlando signed the sixth and seventh Homegrown players in club history in December, signing David Loera following his junior year at NC State and Jordan Bender from USL affiliate Orlando City B.
The team also did a significant amount of recruiting in South America, bringing in Colombian midfielder Andrés Perea, Argentine defender Rodrigo Schlegel and Brazilian defender Antônio Carlos all on one-year loans from Atlético Nacional, Racing Club and Palmeiras respectively while Brazilian midfielder Júnior Urso joined permanently from Corinthians.
Orlando City reported for the start of preseason at their new training facility on January 20 before a closed-door friendly against Stetson University five days later.
The team will travel to Cancún, Mexico, for a nine day training camp beginning January 27 that will feature games against Columbus Crew and third-tier Mexican team Inter Playa before returning to Orlando for further friendlies against Montreal Impact, Tampa Bay Rowdies, D.C. United, reigning Icelandic champions KR Reykjavík and San Antonio FC with both the Montreal and KR games open to the public at Exploria Stadium.
The KR match will mark the first time since the 2016 game against Bahia that Orlando has hosted foreign opposition in preseason.
Outside of the club, Inter Miami and Nashville SC joined the league as expansion franchises, bringing the total number of MLS clubs to 26.
Because Nashville were placed in the Western Conference the teams will only meet once in regular-season league play in 2020, in Orlando on September 12.
They are still scheduled to play every Eastern Conference opponent both home and away, and all but three Western Conference opponents once.
The three teams Orlando will not face in regular-season league play in 2020 are Los Angeles FC, San Jose Earthquakes and Seattle Sounders.
Following a restructuring to the competition, Orlando City became one of 11 MLS teams to now enter the U.S. Open Cup in the third round instead of the fourth round because they did not finish as a top 12 US-based team in the previous MLS season.
Esther Moyal (née Lazari or al-Azharī; 1874, Beirut – 1948, Jaffa) was a Lebanese Jewish journalist, writer and women's rights activist.
Raised in a middle-class Sephardic family, Moyal was fluent in Arabic, French, and English and was tutored by Arabic writer Muḥammad al-Bakr.
She graduated with a degree in 1890, either from the American College for Girls in Beirut or the Syrian Protestant College.
Moyal taught at Christian and Jewish schools and translated novels and novellas into Arabic, including the novels of Alexandre Dumas and Émile Zola.
Playing through the pain, he returned for the NCAA tournament appearance and scored six points in the 73-58 loss to UCF in the round of 64.
On January 28, Evans scored his 2,000th career point in a win against crosstown rival Richmond, finishing with nine points and three assists.
A large focus of the program was towards new shuttle boosters and an upgrades to the external tank but also looked to expand NASA's ability to launch deep space missions and build large modular space stations.
Many of these concepts and studies would shape the concepts and programs of the 2000s such as Constellation, Orbital Space Plane Program, and Artemis program.
The Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle was a study by NASA to turn the Space Shuttle launch stack into a dedicated uncrewed cargo launcher.
The external tank and Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) would be combined with a cargo module that take the place of the shuttle orbiter and include the Space Shuttle Main Engines.
A ballistic return pod would be used as the main engine structure and carrie 2-4 SSMEs as well as mount the payload / booster stage.
Various Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle concepts were investigated between 1984 and 1995 and it would eventually become known as the Shuttle-C (the Shuttle-C would not include a ballistic return pod and had expendable engines).
The Shuttle-C concept would theoretically cut development costs for a heavy launch vehicle by re-using technology developed for the shuttle program.
With the Shuttle-C, it was thought that the lower maintenance and safety requirements for the uncrewed vehicle would allow a higher flight rate.
The Shuttle-C could also launch an uncrewed lunar lander and propulsion module while a second vehicle would launch the Crew Exploration Vehicle to perform lunar missions.
In the early 1990s, NASA engineers planning a crewed mission to Mars included a Shuttle-C design to launch six non reusable 80-ton segments to create two Mars ships in Earth orbit.
After President George W. Bush called for the end of the Space Shuttle by 2010, these proposed configurations were put aside.
The Magnum would have been a booster some tall, on the scale of the Saturn V and was originally designed to carry a human mission to Mars.
It was to have used two strap-on side boosters, similar to the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs), but using liquid fuel instead.
Some designs had the strap-on boosters using wings and jet engines, which would enable them to fly back to the launch area after they were jettisoned in flight.
The National Launch System (or New Launch System) was a study authorized in 1991 by President George H. W. Bush to outline alternatives to the Space Shuttle for access to Earth orbit.
Shortly thereafter, NASA asked Lockheed Missiles and Space, McDonnell Douglas, and TRW to perform a ten-month study.A series of launch vehicles was proposed, based around the proposed Space Transportation Main Engine (STME) liquid-fuel rocket engine.
The NLS-1 was the largest of three proposed vehicles and would have used a modified Space Shuttle external tank for its core stage.
A payload or second stage would have fit atop the core stage, and two detachable Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters would have been mounted on the sides of the core stage as on the Shuttle.
The ASRM would have produced additional thrust in order to increase shuttle payload, so that it could carry modules and construction components to the ISS.
The ASRM program was canceled in 1993 after robotic assembly systems and computers were on-site and approximately 2 billion dollars spent, in favor of continued use, after design flaw corrections, of the SRB.
The boosters would have a similar flight path fo the solid rocket motors, separating and deploying a parachute for recovery in the Atlantic Ocean.
As part of the Constellation program, the first stage of the Ares I rocket was planned to use five-segment SRBs – in September 2009 a five-segment Space Shuttle SRB was static fired on the ground in ATK's desert testing area in Utah.
The first test of a SRB for SLS was completed in early 2015, a second test was performed in mid 2016 at Orbital ATK's Promontory, Utah facility.
DARPA studied modifying the current external tank design to be able to carry low density payloads in a 7.6 or 10.6 fairing where the oxygen tank was currently.
The oxygen tank would need to be redesigned as a cylindrical tank rather than conical and the clamshell payload fairing would be mounted directly on it.
These studies were eventually abandoned due to the fact that the new aerodynamic profile would make a Return to Launch Site (RTLS) maneuver impossible.
The proposal was reconfigured as an Aft Cargo Carrier (ACC) to be positioned towards the bottom of the tank rather on top.
It would have a larger payload bay with an additional in length giving it a payload capacity of expected to carry payloads of up to .
A new wing root and carry-through structure was designed to handle the additional weight at landing, keeping the outboard section of the original wings and requiring minimal modification.
An undefined need for more payload led to the idea of using the lee side section of the payload bay (at entry angle of attack) could be used as an expanded payload bay.
The hypersonic aerodynamic characteristics during re-entry stayed mostly the same however issues would have most likely occurred at subsonic speeds without a high angle of attack.
A payload bay segment would be added to the rear of the spacecraft and look very similar to the albeit with a few differences.
As much equipment as possible would be stored and positioned in the rear of the craft to make up for lost weight and compensate for a lack of engines.
From the late 1980s to the early 2000s NASA, in one form or another, pursued the Crew Return Vehicle; a small spaceplane / capsule capable of returning crew from a space station in the event of an emergency.
The concept utilized a series of canisters mounted in the payload bay that would carry 68-74 passengers in a double deck configuration similar to a Boeing 747.
This moved the center of mass forward requiring minor changes to the wing structure adding more canard-like surfaces to allow more lifting surface.
Precipitation runoff from the peak drains west into headwaters of the East Anderson River, or east into headwaters of the Coldwater River.
The mountain was named for the alpaca, as part of the ungulate names theme for several other nearby peaks that were submitted by Philip Kubik of the 1965 first ascent party.
In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Alpaca Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Range where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.
Very Rev John MacDonald (1860–1947) was a Free Church of Scotland Minister who served as Moderator of the General Assembly in 1915.
He was ordained as a minister of the Free Church of Scotland at Acharacle in 1891. in 1895 he was translated to Raasay.
Eric Rasmusen is the Dan R. and Catherine M. Dalton Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at Indiana University Bloomington.
Married in 1895, Tata's husband was progressive and supported the education of his wife and daughter, hiring tutors to help her with her schooling.
In 1909, Tata, who was Parsi, developed an interest in Theosophy and within a few years made the acquaintance of Annie Besant.
Around the same time, in 1911, she met Sophia Duleep Singh, a British suffragist with Indian heritage, who influenced her development as a suffragist.
A founding member and the general secretary of the Women's Indian Association, she became one of the women who petitioned for enfranchisement before the Montagu-Chelmsford investigation in 1917.
When the reforms which were proposed failed to include women's suffrage, Tata and other feminists began protesting and publishing articles on the need for the vote.
Nonetheless, the Southborough Committee also rejected the inclusion of enfranchisement for women and sent their recommendations to the Joint Select Committee of the House of Lords and Commons.
Tata was chosen by the Bombay Suffrage Committee to travel to England to present the case in favor of suffrage to the Joint Committee.
Compiling a report to substantiate the claim for suffrage, Tata and her daughter Mithan made two presentations to the government and traveled throughout the country to try to gain support for their cause.
Though unable to influence the reform act to include complete suffrage for women, the final bill did allow provisions for Indian provinces to enfranchise women if they chose to do so.
She continued to work for voting rights and legislation protecting children until her husband was injured in an accident and required her care.
Tata died in 1941 and is remembered as one of the prominent suffragists in the early struggle for the vote in India.
He was progressive in his thoughts on women's education and hired tutors to help Tata in her wish to further her education.
Taking a position in a mill in Ahmedabad, the family remained there until 1913, when they relocated to Bombay, where Ardeshir became manager of a large textile mill.
At the 1912 convention in Benaras, she met Annie Besant, who had become president of the Theosophical Society Adyar in 1908.
Charmed by her enthusiasm for the cause and after reading the literature Singh later sent, Tata became active in the fight for women's enfranchisement.
Edwin Montagu, Secretary of State for India, and Lord Chelmsford, Viceroy of India traveled to the country with the aim of soliciting opinion on a limited political devolution of British power.
In 1917, Margaret Cousins founded the Women's Indian Association in Adyar to create a vehicle for women to influence government policy.
On 15 December 1917, Sarojini Naidu led a deputation of 14 leading women from throughout India to present the call to include women's suffrage in the new Franchise Bill under development by the Government of India.
As the next step of the process, the Southborough Franchise Committee was formed to develop the electoral regulations for implementing the Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms.
Their report issued in April 1919 also rejected including women's suffrage, as they felt the conservative society would be against it.
When Lord Southborough sent his report to the Joint Select Committee of the House of Lords and Commons, the Bombay Committee on Women's Suffrage decided to send Tata and her daughter Mithan to give evidence along with Sir Sankaran Nair.
The Bombay Suffrage Committee financed the trip with funds provided by Tata Limited, but as all of the expenses were not covered, Tata's husband, Ardeshir, who encouraged her to go, provided the remaining funds needed.
She wrote to influential people in a wide range of organizations to gain their support for the cause and was an active speaker at events.
They were very successful in their pleas which resulted in the India Office being inundated with resolutions of support for women's suffrage in India.
They were also present for the final reading of the bill in December 1919, which included a clause that Indian provinces could enfranchise women if they chose to do so.
Initially planning to stay through the end of the year, Tata and her daughter decided to remain in England when Mithan was accepted for post graduate studies at the London School of Economics.
Tata also enrolled at the school and though she did not obtain a degree, she took courses between 1919 and 1922 in administration, economics, and social science.
Though not elected, Tata was proposed as a member of the international board, which was the first time Indian women could qualify for administrative positions in the organization.
An injury which caused Ardeshir to lose his sight, curtailed her ability to participate as actively as she had formerly, as she became his caregiver.
Much of her legacy was overshadowed by her more famous daughter, but writer and activist Rita Banerji said Tata was one of the central figures in the fight for suffrage in India.

Originally the regiment, like all Italian tank units, was part of the infantry, but since 1 June 1999 it is part of the cavalry.
The regiment was formed on 15 September 1936 in Vercelli as 1st Tank Infantry Regiment with four battalions: I, II, and III assault tanks battalions and the IV Breach Tank Battalion.
The regiment's baptism of fire came during the Italian invasion of France, when the regiment advanced with its battalion into Southern France.
Immediately after ratification of the peace treaty between the allies and Italy on 15 September 1947 the Italians began to rebuild their army.
A first tank battalion with M4 Sherman tanks was raised in spring 1948 in Rome, which moved in June to Casarsa della Delizia to make room for a second M4 Sherman tank battalion.
Regiment and brigade moved in fall 1948 to the Friuli Venezia Giulia region - the regiment to Casarsa della Delizia and the brigade headquarters to Pordenone.
On 1 May 1974 the center was renamed 1st Armored Infantry Regiment and received the war flag and traditions of the 1st Tank Infantry Regiment.

The King Street Transit Priority Corridor is a transit mall located along King Street between Jarvis and Bathurst Streets in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Private vehicles are allowed to use the corridor, but they may only travel up to three blocks along it before they are required to turn right out of the corridor.
Passengers board streetcars from delineated loading areas in the curb lane with barricades at each end to protect waiting passengers from traffic.
Prior to the pilot project, the two curb lanes along King Street were used for rush-hour traffic and for parking in the off-hours.
After the creation of the corridor, space in the curb lanes was converted for other uses such as seating, patios and bicycle parking in order to make the street more pedestrian-friendly.
In 2018, three dozen streetscape improvements were made including eighteen patios, two mini-parks and a number of spaces for artists and public displays.
Fifteen patios were associated with private businesses (usually restaurants) that must pay the City a fee; three other patios were sponsored by businesses for public use.
One space by Roy Thomson Hall is decorated by a wall of plastic crates holding planters separating a sitting area from the streetcar lanes.
Route 503 Kingston Road was upgraded from rush-hour only service to include midday service on a trial basis effective September 3, 2019.
However, effective October 7, 2018, the 514 Cherry route was discontinued and replaced by two new branches of route 504 King, both of which also overlap through the corridor.
On February 20, 2018, route 503 Kingston Rd was modified from rush-hour only to full weekday service (evenings excluded) in order to increase capacity to support ridership in the corridor, which had increased along downtown King Street during the King Street Pilot Project.
Along with this change, route 503 was extended west from York Street to Spadina Avenue and turned back at Charlotte Loop.
As of January 7, 2019, the 503 route returned to shuttle bus operation to accommodate some construction projects; the 503 terminus was moved back to York Street.
Effective September 3, 2019, 503 Kingston Rd service was again upgraded to run midday as well as during rush hours on weekdays.
Effective November 25, 2019, on a trial basis, the Downtown Express buses were relocated to the corridor in order to avoid traffic on their former route along Richmond and Adelaide streets.
In 1993, the streetcar tracks along King Street between Dufferin and Parliament Streets were made reserved lanes for streetcars and taxis only during rush hours.
This effort to improve rush-hour streetcar service failed as there was insufficient police enforcement to prevent illegal parking, resulting in motorists continuing to drive on the tracks.
On March 22, 2007, the TTC proposed a pilot project for a transit mall along King Street, to be implemented in mid-2008.
The proposal suggested reserving the centre lanes for streetcars and making a single lane in one direction available to private vehicles, taxis and delivery vehicles, alternating the lane direction on different blocks.
The street would have been closed entirely to through traffic and streetcars would run at grade, not in a raised median.
This arrangement could eventually have led to the trial implementation of a transit mall on King between Bay Street and Spadina Avenue, with hopes of eventually closing King to cars from Dufferin to Parliament streets.
In February 2017, as part of the King Street Pilot Study, City staff proposed three options, one of which would be submitted to City Council for approval in July and implementation as a pilot in the fourth quarter of 2017.
All three options forbade left turns, and two options forced automobile traffic to leave King Street by a right turn after travelling only one block.
All three options aimed to reduce automobile interference with streetcar operation between Bathurst Street in the west and either Parliament Street or Jarvis Street in the east.
On July 6, 2017, Toronto City Council—by a vote of 34 to 4—approved a one-year, $1.5-million pilot project to improve streetcar service along King Street between Bathurst and Jarvis Streets.
The project would limit automobiles to travel only one block before being forced to turn right, and left turns would be prohibited.
However, over the objections of the TTC, Council granted taxi cabs an exemption on the ban against through traffic between 10pm and 5am.
On October 23, 2017, the City of Toronto published a plan for the King Street Transit Pilot showing the location of streetcar stops and traffic restrictions between Bathurst and Jarvis Streets.
After 16 days of operation, University of Toronto (U of T) researchers determined that the transit mall had reduced the mean travel time for streetcars by 24% westbound (from 22.8 to 17.3 minutes) and 20% eastbound (from 20.6 to 16.4 minutes) during the evening rush hour.
Only 1.3% of streetcars took more than 25 minutes to travel between Jarvis and Bathurst Streets during the evening rush hour versus 19% prior to the pilot.
However, crowding on routes 504 and 514 had increased, forcing riders to wait for room to board as several streetcars passed; improved travel times increased demand for streetcar service through the transit mall.
To address the increased demand, the TTC started to assign two Flexity streetcars, plus future Flexity deliveries from Bombardier, to route 504.
The City's Transportation Services department had yet to adjust traffic light timings to give more green-light time for streetcars within the transit mall.
By December 12, 2017, City staff reported that the transit mall had reduced streetcar travel time during the morning rush hours from 15.3 to 14.9 minutes eastbound and from 15.2 to 14.3 minutes westbound.
During the evening rush hours, travel time was reduced from 18.9 to 17.6 minutes eastbound and 19 minutes to 16.4 minutes westbound.
Statistics differed between the U of T analysis and the City's because different pre-pilot periods were selected and because the U of T study had collected data for a shorter period.
By mid-January 2018, the TTC had released its own analysis, which found that morning rush hour ridership had increased 25% along King Street after implementation of the transit mall and that the average travel time through the transit mall (Bathurst Street to Jarvis Street) had decreased by 14%.
The TTC temporarily replaced streetcars on routes 505 Dundas and 506 Carlton with buses and reassigned those streetcars to other routes, such as 504 King, to handle crowding from increased ridership.
The Ontario Restaurant Hotel and Motel Association reported that 26 restaurants located within the King Street theatre district saw revenue drop by 41% (comparing December 2016 to December 2017).
The City started a campaign to attract customers to local businesses along the mall, such as a public space design competition, street performers, warming stations and special promotions.
In January 2018, to attract automobile customers, the City offered up to $10 in free parking at municipal parking lots in the area.
By May and June 2018, streetcar ridership along King Street had increased overall by 11% since the King Street Pilot Project had started.
The City found that retail business in the area had increased by 0.3%, although some restaurateurs in the John Street area still complained of lost business due to the pilot.
With this improvement, streetcar travel time along the mall was reduced on average by 30 to 126 seconds depending on direction; the change particularly benefitted eastbound streetcars during the evening rush hours.
TSP reduced the chances of a streetcar being stopped at a red light, saving an average of 8 seconds per signaled intersection.
A transponder on the streetcar notifies TSP of a streetcar approaching a signaled intersection; TSP could then extend a green light or shorten a red light facing a streetcar.
On December 13, 2018, Toronto City Council voted 19 to 3 in favour of extending the pilot until July 31, 2019.
From the beginning of the pilot, weekday rush-hour ridership had increased from 72,000 to 84,000 passengers, while people movement had also increased and vehicle traffic had decreased in the pilot area.
However, City staff reported that growth in retail spending fell from 2.5% the year before the pilot to 1.7% during the project.
Both ends of the platform have a bicycle ramp to allow the platform to double as part of a bicycle path.
When a streetcar is not present, waiting streetcar passengers must stand in a white-coloured area behind a yellow tactile divider to allow bicycles to pass.
Prior to his role as Chair, Hicks had served as the President of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor since November 2014.
The safety and efficacy of cenobamate to treat partial-onset seizures was established in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies that enrolled 655 adults.
In these studies, patients had partial-onset seizures with or without secondary generalization for an average of approximately 24 years and median seizure frequency of 8.5 seizures per 28 days during an 8-week baseline period.
During the trials, doses of 100, 200, and 400 milligrams (mg) daily reduced the percent of seizures per 28 days compared with the placebo group.
The recommended maintenance dose, following a titration (medication adjustment) period, is 200 mg daily; however, some patients may need an additional titration to 400 mg daily, the maximum recommended dose, based on their clinical response and tolerability.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved cenobamate in November 2019, and granted the application for Xcopri to SK Life Science Inc.
Originally the regiment, like all Italian tank units, was part of the infantry, but since 1 June 1999 it is part of the cavalry.
During operations in Albania the army realized that the Fiat 3000 light tanks of the two breach tanks battalions were obsolete and it was decided to remove them from frontline service.
On the same day the 31st regiment transferred its two breach tanks battalions to the 4th Tank Infantry Regiment respectively the 32nd Tank Infantry Regiment.
During summer of 1939 the division command, the newly raised 131st Armored Artillery Regiment, and the two assault tanks battalions moved to Tirana in Albania, where the Centauro underwent a period of intense training.
Enroute one transport carrying the tanks for one of the companies of the XII battalion was sunk by British warplanes in the Mediterranean.
However the XIII battalion had to be sent to Libya during summer 1942 to replace the losses suffered by the 132nd Tank Infantry Regiment in the battles of Gazala, Bir Hakeim, Mersa Matruh, and First El Alamein.
After the Axis defeat in the Second Battle of El Alamein the 31st regiment was sent to North Africa to bolster Rommel's retreating Panzer Armee Afrika for the Tunisian campaign.
The 31st regiment distinguished itself at the battles of El Agheila and El Guettar, before being dissolved in early April 1943 after having suffered heavy losses in the Battle of El Guettar.
The regiment was officially declared lost on 12 April 1943 and reformed on the same day in Siena with the XIX Mixed Tank Battalion, which fielded one M14/41 and one M15/42 company.
Plans to expand the battalion and reform the regiment were thwarted by the Armistice of Cassibile on 8 September 1943, and the subsequent occupation of Italy by the Germans, who disbanded the 31st Tank Infantry Regiment.
Tank and armored battalions created during the 1975 army reform were all named for officers, soldiers and partisans, who were posthumously awarded Italy's highest military honor the Gold Medal of Military Valour during World War II.
The 1st Tank Battalion's name commemorated 31st Tank Infantry Regiment Corporal Giovanni Cracco, who had distinguished himself during the Tunisian campaign and was killed in action on 11 April 1943.
The Command and Logistic Support Company fielded the following platoons: C3 Platoon, Transport and Materiel Platoon, Medical Platoon, and Commissariat Platoon.
In total the regiment fielded 41x Ariete main battle tanks: 13x per company, plus one for the battalion commander and one for the regiment commander.
The North Carolina General Assembly of 18681869 met in Raleigh from November 16, 1868 to April 12, 1869 with a special session from July 1, 1868 to August 24, 1868.
As prescribed in this constitution, the assembly consisted of the 120 members in the North Carolina House of Representatives and 43 senators in the North Carolina Senate elected by the voters on August 6, 1868.
The Constitution of North Carolina was rewritten at the North Carolina Constitutional Convention of 1868, which met in Raleigh from January 14 to March 17, 1868.
This census would be used to re-evaluate the districts, so that an approximate equal number of residents would be included in each district.
The Lieutenant Governor was designated as the President of the Senate, albeit without a vote unless there was a tie vote.
The assembly ratified the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, as required by the United States Congress, on July 4, 1868.
In anticipation of readmission to the U.S. Congress, on June 25, 1868, the assembly elected John Pool of Elizabeth City and Joseph Carter Abbott of Wilmington to the United States Senate.
Instead of building new track, however, it used the funds to speculate in bonds, reward friends with extravagant fees, and enjoy lavish trips to Europe.
This was the first assembly that Blacks were represented in the assembly, including three Black senators and 18 representatives in the House of Representatives.
The House of Representative delegates elected a Speaker (Joseph W. Holden, William A. Moore), Clerk, Assistant Clerk (John H. Boner), Doorkeeper, and Assistant Doorkeeper.
Masterplan Beira 2035 is a program meant to overhaul the water management infrastructure for the city of Beira, Mozambique, with the intent of allowing for future urban development.
This perceived urban renewal is to help mitigate the effects of the increasing ferocity and frequency of environmental phenomena in the region, which has been heavily influenced by climate change.
Due to this fact, as well as Mozambique's vulnerability to climate change, the city is becoming more susceptible to flooding and other water related issues.
This has resulted in Coastal erosion, leading to severe flooding, which has numerous impacts on the community,  including disruptions in movement and accessibility, economic damages, environmental degradation, and health problems, such as increased cases of Malaria and Cholera.
In regards to stormwater and flooding alleviation, Beira plans on building deeper drainage channels, which will flow into a new 150 hectare Retention basin connected to the outer-lying wetlands and ocean.
In order to address coastal defenses, the city aims to dredge the harbor, duo remove the increased sediment left by the higher sea level.
Additionally these projects will also help spur the tourism industry, as the retention basin will also serve as a lagoon while the sand removed will be used in part to create bigger beaches.
In addition to these changes in infrastructure, the plan also aims to address current land use issues, especially in areas prone to flooding.
Due to the cities population growth over the last couple years, and its future projections, Masterplan Beira 2035 plans on implementing changes to land ownership and development policies, in an attempt to stop settlements, which usually lack basic infrastructure, from being constructed in flood prone areas.
Float is a 2019 American animated short film directed and written by Bobby Rubio, produced by Pixar Animation Studios, and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
Dad (portrayed by Bobby Rubio) is playing with his newborn son Alex (portrayed by Eli Fucile) in the front yard of his house.
Now a toddler, Alex (portrayed by Luna Watson) continues floating all over the darkened house as Dad has become a hermit with a disheveled appearance.
He keeps his son on a leash and stuffs his backpack with rocks to keep him down, although these precautions are later shown to not do much.
Dad pauses in front of a playground and watches the other kids play, but he turns to see that Alex has escaped and is interacting with the other children by floating, scaring and annoying everyone.
Dad hurriedly grabs his son, who begins to have a temper tantrum, resulting in Dad asking his son why he can't be normal (the only moment of dialogue in the film).
Cariñito is a Peruvian cumbia song written by Limeño Ángel Aníbal Rosado in 1979 and first interpreted by the Peruvian group Los Hijos del Sol.
Readapted by numerous international groups and in different musical styles, the song is one of the greater known songs in the realm of Peruvian cumbia and cumbia in general.
In 1979, he composed Cariñito to be adapted by the group led by vocalist Edson Bordaes and accompanied by guitarist José Luis Carvallo.
In the 2019 Panamerican Games in Lima, the song was played in the inaugural parade of countries during the entry of the Peruvian delegation, played to symbolize progress in Peru and its diverse cultural identity.
The song received positive reception from Peruvians, such so that the President of Peru was seen singing and dancing from the Presidential Pulpit in the Estadio Nacional de Lima.
The 1961 Florida A&M Rattlers football team was an American football team that represented Florida A&M University as a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) during the 1961 NCAA College Division football season.
In their 17th season under head coach Jake Gaither, the Rattlers compiled a perfect 10–0 record, including a victory over in the Orange Blossom Classic for the black college football national championship, and shut out six of ten opponents.
The team's statistical leaders included Robert Paremore with 376 rushing yards, 11 touchdowns and 66 points scored, Emory Collier with 742 passing yards, and Al Denson with 395 receiving yards.
Originally the regiment, like all Italian tank units, was part of the infantry, but since 1 June 1999 it is part of the cavalry.
The regiment was formed on 15 September 1936 in Verona as 2nd Tank Infantry Regiment with four battalions: IV, V, and XI assault tanks battalions and the III Breach Tanks Battalion.
The regiment was renamed 32nd Tank Infantry Regiment on 1 December 1938 and received the IV Breach Tanks Battalion in Vercelli from the 1st Tank Infantry Regiment.
On the day of the 32nd regiment's founding, it and the 8th Bersaglieri Regiment entered the II Armored Brigade in Milan, which had been formed on 15 July 1937 with the 3rd Bersaglieri Regiment.
After Italy's entry into World War II on 10 June 1940 the 32nd regiment ceded some of its units to other regiments: the I and II tank battalions M were ceded on 11 June to the 4th Tank Infantry Regiment for transfer to Libya for the planned invasion of Egypt.
The end for the units of the Italian 10th Army came on 6–7 February 1941 when their retreat was blocked by the 7th British Armoured Division at Beda Fomm and the furious and futile attempts of the tank battalions to open a breach in the British line during the Battle of Beda Fomm came to naught.
With 7 February 1941 the 10th Army with all its units and all the reinforcements sent to it had been destroyed or capture by the British XIII Corps.
For its sacrifice the III Tank Battalion M was awarded a Gold Medal of Military Valour, which is nowadays attached to the 32nd Tank Regiment's war flag and displayed on the regiment's coat of arms.
Ultimately the High Command in Rome settled on a plan to repatriate the men of the 32nd and retrain them at the 32nd's depot in Verona.
As the Ariete division had lost 76% of its men during Operation Crusader the 32nd regiment was taken out of the front on 31 December 1941 and sent to the rear.
On 8 January 1942 the 32nd was disbanded and its personnel used to bring the 132nd regiment partially back up to strength.
The war flag of the regiment was then transferred to Verona, where the regiment was activated again in May of the same year.
Tank and armored battalions created during the 1975 army reform were all named for officers, soldiers and partisans, who were posthumously awarded Italy's highest military honor the Gold Medal of Military Valour for heroism during World War II.
The 3rd Tank Battalion's name commemorated 32nd Tank Infantry Regiment Sergeant Bruno Galas, who had fought with the III Tank Battalion in North Africa and was killed in action on 3 January 1941 during the Battle of Bardia.
For its conduct and work after the 1976 Friuli earthquake the battalion was awarded a Silver Medal of Army Valour, which was affixed to the battalion's war flag and added to the battalion's coat of arms.
From 29 December 1992 to 15 March 1994 the regiment participated with some of its companies in the international Unified Task Force and UNOSOM II missions in Somalia.
During this mission on 3 July 1993 the regiment fought in the Battle at Checkpoint Pasta, where for the first time since World War II Italian tanks opened fire at enemy forces.
For its conduct and service in Somalia the regiment was awarded a Bronze Medal of Army Valour, which was affixed to the regiment's war flag and added to the regiment's coat of arms.
The Command and Logistic Support Company fields the following platoons: C3 Platoon, Transport and Materiel Platoon, Medical Platoon, and Commissariat Platoon.
In total the regiment fields 54x Ariete main battle tanks: 13x per company, plus one for the battalion commander and one for the regiment commander.

The Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Award for Best Contemporary Makeup in Television and New Media Series is one of the awards given annually to people working in the television industry by the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild (MUAHS).
The award was first given in 2000, during the first annual awards, and was given when the awards were brought back in 2014.
During the 2001 and 2002 ceremonies, as well as ceremonies from 2015 to 2018, the awards made the distinction between regular series and miniseries/television films.
This was amended in 2019, when miniseries nominees were placed alongside continuing series, while television films and specials were given their own category.
Originally the regiment, like all Italian tank units, was part of the infantry, but since 1 June 1999 it is part of the cavalry.
The 32nd Tank Infantry Regiment had been deployed to Italian Libya on 24 January 1941 to rebuild Italian forces after the Italian 10th Army had been annihilated during the British Operation Compass.
Ultimately the High Command in Rome settled on a plan to repatriate the men of the 32nd and retrain them at the 32nd's depot in Verona.
Therefore the 4th Tank Infantry Regiment raised a new command company, which was transferred to Libya on 1 June 1941 and gave birth to the 132nd Tank Infantry Regiment on 1 September 1941.
As the Ariete division had lost 76% of its men during Operation Crusader the 32nd regiment was taken out of the front on 31 December 1941 and sent to the rear.
On 8 January 1942 the 32nd was disbanded and its personnel used to bring the 132nd regiment partially back up to strength for Erwin Rommel's second offensive.
As the 133rd's XII tank battalion had lost one of its companies to British warplanes in the Mediterranean the 132nd remained the only Italian tank regiment in the North African theater until the 133rd was able to move to the front on 31 May 1942.
On 27 May 1942 the 132nd regiment encountered the 3rd Indian Motor Brigade at Rugbet el Atasc and sent its veteran VIII and IX medium tank battalions forward, while the fresh X medium tank battalion was in second line.
The Indian position was overrun by the VIII and X battalions with the loss of some of which were repairable on the field, killed and , while the Indian brigade lost killed and wounded and about including Admiral Sir Walter Cowan and most of its equipment.
After over-running the 3rd Indian Motor Brigade, the tank battalions of the 132nd Tank Infantry Regiment moved to the north-east of Bir Hakeim and the IX Battalion with sixty tanks, changed direction towards the fort of Bir Hakeim defended by the 1st Free French Brigade.
The IX Battalion arrived before the Bir Hakeim minefield and barbed wire at charged and lost and a Semovente 75/18 self-propelled gun.
The remnants of the IX Battalion retired to the main body of the Ariete, which moved north towards Bir el Harmat around noon, following Rommel's original plan, while the Battle of Bir Hakeim continued for another two weeks.
After having defeated the British at Gazala the Axis offensive continued with the capture of Tobruk and the Battle of Mersa Matruh.
After having pursued the British Eighth Army to El Alamein Rommel attacked on 1 July 1942 in the First Battle of El Alamein.
By 3 July Axis forces were heavily decimated and Rommel paused his attack, which allowed the 132nd Tank Infantry Regiment to pull back to the abandoned British RAF El Daba airfield where the VIII tank battalion had to be disbanded to bring the remaining two battalions partially up to strength.
By 15 July the 132nd was back at the front attacking the 22nd British Armoured Brigade to the south of Ruweisat Ridge.
On 23 October 1942 the Second Battle of El Alamein commenced during which the 132nd regiment clashed repeatedly with British armored formations, but on 4 November the entire Ariete Division was encircled by the 7th British Armoured Division and annihilated.
For its service from Bir el Gubi to El Alamein the 132nd Tank Infantry Regiment was awarded a Gold Medal of Military Valour.
After having been destroyed twice the 132nd Tank Infantry Regiment was raised again on 21 March 1944 in Sardinia, as part of the Italian Co-belligerent Army.
While the 32nd Tank Infantry Regiment had been sent to Sardinia in September 1942 to defend the island against an allied invasion, then 132nd regiment's task was to manage and maintain the equipment of the for a number of reserve battalions.
On 27 August 1944 the 132nd Tank Infantry Regiment was disbanded, followed by the Granatieri division on 31 August, and 32nd regiment on 2 October 1944.
Immediately after ratification of the peace treaty between the allies and Italy on 15 September 1947 the Italians began to rebuild their army.
A first tank battalion with M4 Sherman tanks was raised in spring 1948 in Rome, which moved in June to Casarsa della Delizia to make room for a second M4 Sherman tank battalion.
Regiment and brigade moved in fall 1948 to the Friuli Venezia Giulia region - the regiment to Casarsa della Delizia and the brigade headquarters to Pordenone.
In 1954 the regiment formed a M26 Pershing tank battalion for itself and its two other battalions were also re-equipped with M26 Pershing tanks.
In 1955 the three battalions of the regiment were renumbered and given the traditions of three of the battalions that had served with the 132nd during the Western Desert Campaign.
During the same year the 132nd Tank Regiment ceded its VII Tank Battalion to the 8th Bersaglieri Regiment and received the XXXVIII Bersaglieri Battalion in return.
Tank and armored battalions created during the 1975 army reform were all named for officers, soldiers and partisans, who were posthumously awarded Italy's highest military honor the Gold Medal of Military Valour for heroism during World War II.
The 8th Tank Battalion's name commemorated 132nd Tank Infantry Regiment Corporal Giovanni Secchiaroli, who had fought with the VIII Tank Battalion in North Africa and was killed in action on 27 May 1942 during the Battle of Rugbet el Atasc.
After the end of the Cold War the Italian Army began to reorganize its forces and for traditional reasons battalions were renamed as regiments without changing size or composition.
From 29 December 1992 to 15 March 1994 the regiment participated with in the international Unified Task Force and UNOSOM II missions in Somalia.
For its conduct and service in Somalia the regiment was awarded a Bronze Medal of Army Valour, which was affixed to the regiment's war flag and added to the regiment's coat of arms.
The Command and Logistic Support Company fields the following platoons: C3 Platoon, Transport and Materiel Platoon, Medical Platoon, and Commissariat Platoon.

Everyday, Grandma has Ellis attach a cord to himself to float out and collect items that they can use for their benefit.
In particular, the two are building a rocket so that they can escape from the hole and into the bright light at the top.
One day, Ellis discovers an abandoned plane in the wreckage, but is distraught to realize that it can only sit one person.
Grandma offers a plan that he ride the rocket out and simply pull her up with the cord to which he agrees.

The Islander 24 Bahama is a development of the 1961 Islander 24 which itself is a fiberglass development of the wooden-hulled Catalina Islander.
The mold was created by using the hull of one of the wooden boats and the resulting fiberglass boats retained the distinctive wooden board imprints from the mold.
The 1961 Islander 24 features a trunk cabin, but the raised deck Islander 24 Bahama version proved a bigger commercial success and, as a result the Islander 24 had a relatively short production run.
The design was built by McGlasson Marine/Islander Yachts in the United States from 1964 to 1970, with 500 boats completed, but it is now out of production.
It has a masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, a raised transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel.

The College Park–White Flint Line, designated Route C8, is a bus route that operates Monday to Saturday that is operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority between College Park–University of Maryland station of the Green Line and White Flint station of the Red Line of the Washington Metro.
Route C8 was known for two different lines, prior to its current line being named under the Aspen Hill-Montgomery Mall Line and Glenmont-College Park Line.
The only route change that C8 went through between this time period, was during the year of 1985, when C8 was minorly rerouted to serve the newly opened Grosvenor & Twinbrook Metro Stations in the middle of its route.
C8 would operate between the College Park-U of MD & Glenmont Metro Stations, via River Road, Paint Branch Parkway, Campus, Adelphi Road, New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650), Randolph Road, & Georgia Avenue (MD 97).
While C8 would not directly enter the National Archives Building of College Park, MD, nor the White Oak FDA/FRC Building, C8 would serve both places at adjacent stops on both Adelphi Road & New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650).
C8 also provided complementary Metrobus service on Adelphi Road between the intersections of Edwards Way & New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650), to the R1 Metrobus Route.
However; unlike the R1 Metrobus Route, which only operated on Adelphi Road between New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650) & Edwards Way only in the south direction to its Adelphi terminus at the intersection of Edwards Way & Riggs Road (MD 212), the C8 Metrobus Route operated on Adelphi Road in both the north and south directions between the intersections of Edwards Way & New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650).
WMATA also decided to also extend the C8 Metrobus Route to operate all day on weekdays, as opposed to operating only during rush hour/peak period commuter times, as well as on Saturdays in order to meet the Action for Transit Committee's request for the C8 Metrobus Route to operate more frequently throughout the day (during non-rush hour/peak period commuter times) & Saturdays, but not on Sundays.
During the summer of 2000, WMATA decided to finally meet the full request of the Action for Transit Committee, of extending the C8 Metrobus Route beyond the Glenmont Metro Station, all the way up to the White Flint Metro Station.
During WMATA's 2011 Fiscal Year, route C8 was proposed to be rerouted to operate to Prince George's Plaza station instead of College Park station to replace route R3 service.
It was also proposed to divert Food & Drug Administration and Federal Research Center in White Oak and into Archives II.
This would lead to a loss of ridership for the C8 since it will only have reduced weekday service instead of reduced Monday through Saturday service.
Route C8 would skip its diversion into both the National Archives Building of College Park, MD & White Oak FDA/FRC building on Saturdays when it operated.
Beginning on September 1, 2019 for nine months, the College Park Metrobus loop was temporarily closed for construction of the Purple line at College Park station having all stops located along River Road.
As of result, route C8 was temporarily rerouted along River Road having to turn around on the roundabout along Haig Drive to return to its regular route going to White Flint.

Metalloenediynes are a family of compounds composed of an enediyne-containing ligand complexed to a transition metal that have potential use as anti-tumor therapeutics.
Enediynes naturally undergo the Bergman cyclization to produce a 1,4-didehydrobenzene intermediate, whose thermal activation energy is stabilized by chelation of the ligand to a metal center, allowing for temperature regulation of this diradical formation.
This reaction is hindered by the high thermal barrier to cyclization in which most of the compounds cannot react below 200°C.
The Bergman cyclization requires the adjacent alkynes of the motif to be forced close enough for radicals to join and form a bond.
By chelating an enediyne-containing ligand to a metal center, the alkynes are forced into a geometry that lowers the thermal barrier to cyclization.
The diradical formation in the Bergman cyclization provides a potent mechanism for DNA scission and crosslinking by abstracting hydrogens from adjacent ribose sugars, which can then bond to kink or cleave the strand entirely, rendering the DNA of the target cell unusable.
Chelation about a transition metal brings the cyclization barrier down to conditions tolerable for the human body; this allows for targeted heating of select tissues to initiate this reaction.

Furthermore, there was a myth by Myanmar people that they believed wearing Nawarat Ring can bring good fortune to the wearer.
However, before crafting the ring, the requested customer's horoscope and palm have to be calculated first to make sure whether it suits the customer or not.
As each gem on the ring has its ability and power, it has to be worn correctly on the hand to get the real benefit.
Moreover, Wearing the Nawarat ring can bring many great fortunes and lucks to the wearer and on the other hand, the wearer has to keep five precepts to be worthy enough to wear the ring.
Moreover, it can be recognized not only as a ring but also as a charm in which Burmese people trust and wear this ring as a guard or for having a good fortune.
They are 'not killing', 'not from stealing and taking what was not given', 'not sexual addiction', 'refuse telling lies' and 'abstain from using illegal drugs, alcohols, and intoxicants'.
Customers who want to wear the Nawarat ring has to calculate their horoscope & palm and have to check their qualification.
During the setting, ruby has to be set on Sunday, Cat's eye, and Pearl on Monday, Coral on Tuesday, Zircon, and Emerald on Wednesday, Topaz on Thursday, Diamond on Friday and the Sapphire on Saturday.
After putting the gems to the ring, a tradition has to be pursued by establishing 'Gadaw Bwe', which is decorated with coconut, banana, and spray with perfume.
During the period of setting gem to the ring, the goldsmith must wear a white suit or cape and he also has to keep five precepts that were left by the lord buddha.
Sapphire gemstone in the north, a diamond on the east side, cat's eye in the south, emerald in the west, coral in the northeast, pearl in the southeast, zircon in the southwest and the last topaz in the northwest.
After goldsmith completes the ring setting, another 'Gadaw Bwe' was offered to the Burmese Spirits, also called 'Nats' before transferring to the ring owners.
Wearing method is also very important and must be strongly careful; otherwise, it can affect the wearer negatively as the Nawarat ring has astrological and supernatural related power.
If the wearer wears the ring on his right hand, the side of the emerald will be on the left, and if on the left hand, emerald will be on the right side.
Diamond possesses the power of countering the problem that will confront the outermost while the emerald from the innermost makes the wear get the peace and calming effect.

Trista Piccola served as the Director of the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth & Families (the DCYF) from January 2017 until July 2019.
Her term was marked by the death and near-deaths of children, high staff turn-over rates, votes of no confidence, and high budget deficits.
Piccola has worked in the child welfare profession for most of her career, and has held positions including Child Protective Services officer in various states and eventually becoming a deputy director for Cuyahoga County's Health and Human Services agency where she was responsible for the county child welfare system.
Following a process which required the advice and consent of Piccola's appointment to the directorship by the Rhode Island Senate, she succeeded Acting DCYF Director Jamia McDonald and became the permanent Director, responsible for the DCYF's staffing, budget, and child welfare and protection mission.

Community-based tourism, also known as CBT, is a kind of tourism operated and managed by the local community for the sake of the well-being of the particular community through providing a mechanism for sustainable livelihoods.
CBT concentrates on economically vulnerable villages and developing countries because CBT is an alternative for economic development as well as conservation and protection of natural resources of those villages.
Despite its advantages, there are also setbacks while running CBT villages, such as not having adequate both human resources and technical resources.
The 100 days was set by the National League of Democracy, accompanied by an optimist view that aimed to work towards the priorities and convenience of the public, such as the development of transport infrastructure, telecommunication, and so on.
The tourism Industry became flourished as one of the economic sectors for the sake of generating foreign revenues, protecting local traditions culture, environment, expansion of employment after the country was emancipated from the military regime in 2010.
Even though CBT solely focuses on the community of the host villages, some of the decisions depend on the government's approval or the head of the villages.
Most of the villages have heads of the village who would be the medium between the villagers, the professionals, organizations, and the government.
CBT prefers the bottom-up decision approach rather than top-bottom decisions where the majority of the votes are determined by the villagers.
Since Myanmar is a Buddhist country, apart from villages in upper Myanmar, most of the CBT villages have religious sites to visit such as monasteries, temples, and pagodas where tourists can learn local culture, buy souvenirs, and participate in local festivals.
Some of the activities are not common, and only a specific CBT village can offer that service such as AyeYarWaddy Dolphine Sanctuary.
Some of the villages are located near the lakes and streams so tourists can also enjoy swimming in them and the villages provide transportations for them.
Typically, some youths can speak decent English to communicate back to the tourists because the majority of the villagers are not fluent in English.
For a startup tourism like CBT, it is harder to get tourists noticed because it is not marketed widely, and there is not sufficient information about CBT villages as well.
Deficiency of human capital is also a challenge for CBT villages because some of the youths in those villages emigrated to neighboring countries to get a well-paid job to support back to their families.
There is only one public school at most, and that school only has till primary school grade (Grade 4 in Myanmar education system).
The main goal of implementing CBT is that the profits gained from tourism will significantly benefit the livelihood of the community as an additional income besides farming.
In this way, CBT can sustain minimally disruptive tourism to the local environment while increasing economic opportunities in a way that is sustainable, community-driven which would benefit the entire community.
One of the statements made by the National League of Democracy is to welcome visitors who are keen to promote the welfare of the ordinary people and the conservation of the environment and to acquire an insight into the cultural, political, and social life of the country while enjoying a happy and a fulfilling holiday in Myanmar.
CBT villagers want to minimize the number of tourists in the concentrated area; instead, they want to generate job opportunities and income for the indigenous people in the rural areas.
Since CBT villages lack both capitals and human resources, it is one of the goals is to build local capacities such as training for workshops, communication skills, and knowledge.
The tourists want to feel the sunlight despite the scorching heat because the sun is rare to see in certain parts of the world.
Some locals are very trilled to serve those tourists not because of money because years ago, they do not have any chance to interact with tourists directly and there were not many tourists after all.
Some tourists have difficulties in finding information about tourism and the CBT villages because they cannot find much information on the internet.
At the same time, Myanmar people, especially from the poor background, can also get an idea of the outside world about how the world is rapidly changing, how other people are doing, and how kind of people there are out in the world.
CBT villages can be found in every corner of Myanmar, offering different kinds of activities based on the location of a particular village.

Foundations provide support for structures, transferring their load to layers of soil or rock that have sufficient bearing capacity and suitable settlement characteristics to support them.
Shallow foundations are used where the loads forced by a structure are low relative to the bearing capacity of the surface soils.
They are suitable where ground conditions are too poor to create individual strip or pad foundations for a large number of individual loads.
Rubble trench foundations are a further variation of trench fill foundations and are a traditional construction method that uses loose stone or rubble to minimise the use of concrete and improve drainage.
To keep the material thickness to a minimum, horizontal steel or timber clamps (or yokes) are used for batch filling and at varying centers for filling that is completed in one pour.

Cecilia Suárez, who plays Paulina, is a frequent collaborator with the show's creator, Manolo Caro, and had acted in most of his previous projects.
Paulina is a main character, but in season one was second to the central character of Virginia, portrayed by Verónica Castro.
Suárez was injured in the 2017 Puebla earthquake, which happened during filming; production was halted but she could not return to set for a month after production resumed.
Though the character became very popular among fans, Suárez has dismissed claims that Paulina may have a spin-off, saying that she does not think Caro would do that, and that the character belongs in the story of the show.
Suárez describes Paulina as very loyal, being supportive of her family even when they are hit by scandals and their image ruined.
She said that it was hard for her to develop her character's identity, trying out different voices alone before filming and not finding the right fit.
The distinctive voice she is known for was improvisation Suárez tried during filming, on the fourth shoot day during the scene where Paulina and Bruno are covering up Roberta's wake at the funeral home.
Co-star Paco León, who plays Paulina's estranged husband but love interest, trans woman María José, said that when he arrived on set in Mexico after filming had begun and heard Suárez speak in character as Paulina for the first time, he initially thought the cast was playing a prank on him.
When Netflix and Suárez responded with their own version of the challenge on Twitter, it became a trending event on the website, based on popularity and coverage; at this point, there were over 69,000 fan videos of the challenge.
The response to the challenge is also the only time that Suárez has spoken in Paulina's voice outside of the show.
Scholar Paul Julian Smith has also noted that videos of Paulina's memorable lines recorded from the show have been uploaded to the Internet by fans and also received hundreds of thousands of views, adding that t-shirts featuring the quotes were being sold on Amazon shortly after the show's release.
However, the BBC notes that the character's voice and Tafil use are creatively coincidental as they were conceived of separately during the show's development.
She says that similar types of speech are not unusual in upper-class neighborhoods like Las Lomas, suggesting that it could be used as part of the show's socio-economic commentary.
They said that her fashion had an impact on viewers and that she first stole the show in episode 1 because of her unusual pink outfit.
The review notes that a lot of Paulina's outfits are more the style of a working girl in plain and neutral colors and with lots of blazers.
They add that while her clothes are loose, they have a feminine cut, and that she wears flat shoes on all but one occasion.
At the party she is alerted to the dead body of Roberta, her father's mistress who has hanged herself, and informs the family of Roberta's identity; she has been a confidante and business partner to her father.
In the second episode, Paulina tries to hide the other business, a drag cabaret of the same name as her mother Virginia's flower shop ('La Casa de las Flores') from the rest of the family, using her son Bruno to aid the deception.
She is revealed to have been close to Roberta's family, and to the drag performers and trans women at the cabaret.
With Bruno, she pretends to have a small wake at a funeral home before giving a speech at the cabaret, but her family follows.
In episode three, Paulina is supportive of her brother Julián's choice to come out, but does not push him into it as forcefully as their sister Elena.
In episode four, Paulina is called upon by her family to get in touch with her ex-husband, a lawyer, to help expedite Ernesto's release from prison after he was arrested for fraud.
In episode five, Paulina is demoted by Virginia, who places Elena in charge of a bar mitzvah for their friends, the Cohen family; she then learns that Ernesto is not her biological father, suspecting it is Dr. Cohen.

In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Gemse Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Range where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.

He is described as a coxswain of King Sanphet VIII's royal barge in the Ayutthaya period who was famous for honesty and integrity.
Phan Thai Norasing served his duty as the coxswain until around 1704 that the accident was happened during King Sanphet VIII's fishing trip causing damage to the boat.
Therefore, there are many legacies dedicated to him such as his shrines which they are presumed to be his execution spots, renovated canal, and a monument, etc.
Also, a story of Phan Thai Norasing has been conveyed through various forms of entertainment including films, TV series, and musicals.
Even though plots of them might be altered or extended but the core of the story regarding honesty will still be presented to be an example for progeny.
According to historical records, the execution of Phan Thai Norasing occurred 1704 at Khok Kham Canal, Sakornburi (Samut Sakorn in the present time).
However, Phan Thai Norasing chose this path accidentally or some historians suggest that he wanted to protect King Sanphet VIII from assassins.
Eventually, the royal barge was accidentally hit with a large tree and the figurehead of the royal barge was damaged and fallen off.

It is also believed to be an original point of Phan Thai Norasing's execution as the damaged 80-centimetres wood believed to be the figurehead and a stick were found by the Fine Arts Department and teachers of Suankularb Wittayalai School.
Through scientific examination, these woods were in the same period as Phan Thai Norasing.So,the stick was hypothesized to be scaffold of Phan Thai Norasing's execution.
This place was registered as a national historic site by the Fine Arts Department published in Government Gazette Volume 53, page 1533 on 27 September 1936. and the new shrine was reconstructed by Fine Art Department at 4 January 1995.
Moreover, people usually come to the shrine to worship his shrine for fortune and wishes, According to historic records, Sing loves Thai boxing and cock fighting thus, people commonly worship Phan Thai Norasing's shine with cock statuettes, boxing glove and paddle.
The excavation was occurred and was started from the reign of King Sanphet VIII to the reign of King Sanphet IX ( King Sanphet VIII's son).
It is located at Norasing, Bha Mhok, Ang Thong which was believed to be his birthplace so, this monument was constructed to honor him.
According to the historic record, Phan Thai Norasing was presumed to be civilian in this place which was located at Bhan Bha Mhok district, Ang Thong so, this sub-district was later established to dedicate to Phan Thai Norasing's loyalty and devotion.

The valley is located in Kao Huai Sok, one of the mountains in a limestone mountain range, comprising an area of about 48,000 square meters.
In the same year, this place has become a conservation area to develop it in the future as an ecotourism place.
The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation recognized the uniqueness and importance of the valley and took place under its custody to make it well preserved.
This limestone mountain range consists of 5 limestone mountains which are Kao Pla Ra, Kao Kaung Chai, Kao Noi, Kao Nam Chon, and Kao Huai Sok.
Part of the limestone mountain range surrounding the valley is Khao Huai Sok, which is connected to Khao Plara mountain, 1 kilometer away.
The surrounding limestone mountain is layered with high cliffs that restrict sunlight from reaching the ground during any time other than midday.
The mild acid rain flowed in between the crack inside Huai Sok Mountain until it became a vast cave hole inside the mountain; the process takes about ten to a hundred thousand.
It became a large pit inside the Huai Sok Mountain which the high of the edge is approximately 150 – 200 meters.
The resulting humidity has contributed to a wealth of flora, featuring large shrubs of the genus Excoecaria that are similar to ancient trees.
The department of National Park stated this area as a conservation area dual to its geography with lots of exotic plants such as Caryota urens, Croton oblongifolius Roxb., Oxyceros horridus, balanophoraceae.
Walking along the 700 meters path, animal footprints like deer, bears, boars, or tigers claw marks on the trees can be seen.
The area is clean and well maintained, including a parking lot, bathroom, a kiosk offering coffee, and shops for snacks and drinks.
During weekends at the entrance, young guides from a local school are available for guiding and touring around along the path.

The tournament initially started out as a non-title tournament in 2015, but was upgraded to major title status in May 2017.
The Eiō title match is different from the other seven major title matches in that it allows the two participating players the select the time control for each game from a list of three options.
It is divided into four parts: women professional and amateur participation determination tournaments, a preliminary tournament, a main tournament and a title match.
Separate one-day single-elimination tournaments are held prior to the beginning of the preliminary tournament to determine the woman and amateur participants.
Four participants are selected by the sponsors for each tournament: the women's tournament participants are selected from the reigning women professional major title holders and the amateur tournament participants are selected from the reigning .
Each tournament has two rounds with a primary time control of one hour per player using a chess clock system followed by a secondary byo-yomi time control of sixty seconds per move.
The tournament pairings are determined by drawing lots, with one of the first round games played in the morning and the other played in the afternoon.
The preliminary tournament is single-elimination tournament divided into different blocks according to player rank, with all players ranked the same competing against each other; the women's professional and amateur player are placed in the block for player's ranked 4-dan.
The number of brackets per block varies with the winner of each bracket advancing to the main tournament as follows: four players from the 9-dan block; three players each from the 8-dan, 7-dan and 6-dan blocks; two players from the 5-dan block; and one player from the 4-dan block.

The main title match between the reigning Eiō and the challenger is a best-of-seven series with the first player to win four games becoming the Eiō title holder.
The title match takes place from April to June, and it is the only one of the best-of-seven major title matches not to follow a two-day-per-game format.
It is also the only major title match in which the games are played at varying primary time controls, with the starting time for each game determined based upon the time control selected.
The primary time control for each game is then determined by the players at the same event, with the player scheduled to move first in game one selecting one of the following time controls for the first two games: one hour per player, three hours per player or five hours per player.
The player who moves second in game three selects one of the two remaining time control options for games three and four, and the time control for games five and six will be the last remaining option.
Regardless of the time control selected for each game, there will also be a secondary byo-yomi time control of sixty seconds per move.
In 2011, Dwango entered into an agreement with the JSA to co-sponsor a series of unofficial games and matches between professional shogi players and top computer shogi programs called the Shogi Denōsen.
The 1st Denōsen took place in 2012 between retired shogi professional Kunio Yonenaga and the program , the reigning World Computer Shogi Champion, with the computer winning fairly easily.
The 2nd Shogi Denōsen in 2013, 3rd Shogi Denōsen in 2014 and Shogi Denōsen Final in 2015 each featured a team of five shogi professionals playing against five computer shogi programs.
All of the Shōgi Denōsen games were broadcast on Niconico, with the final game of the 3rd Shogi Denōsen being watched by more than 600,000 people.
After the Shogi Denōsen Final finished, Dwango and the JSA announced that there would be no more five-on-five Shogi Denōsen matches, but rather two new tournaments would be sponsored by Dwangothe Eiō Tournament for the professionals and the Denō Tournament for the computerswith the winners of each then playing a two-game match held at a later date called the Denōsen.
After the announcement that the 1st Eiō was going to take place, 154 shogi professionals expressed their desire to participate; five shogi professionalsincluding major title holders Yoshiharu Habu and Akira Watanabestated, however, that they would not.
The 1st Eiō Tournament was won by Takayuki Yamasaki in December 2015; he then faced the Denō Tournament winner in AprilMay 2016, but lost both games.

After the 2nd Denosen match, Dwango announced that had reached an agreement with the JSA to upgrade the Eiō Tournament to major-title status and replace the two-game match against the Denō Tournament winner with a best-of-seven match between the reigning Eiō title holder and the winner of a challenger tournament.
Since there would be no reigning title holder at the start of the 3rd Eiō Tournament in 2017, the two finalists of the challenger tournament would play a best-of-seven match to determine the winner of the Eiō title.
The upgrade in status of the Eiō Tournament made it the first new major title match in 34 years and the first to be sponsored by an IT company; in addition, the total prize fund for the tournament was also such that it made it the third highest among major title tournaments after only the Ryūō and Meijin.
The tournament is sponsored by Dwango and the JSA with further support provided by the Kirin Beverage Company, Limited, , Lawson, Inc. and .

The Hospital Center Line, designated Route D8, is a daily bus route operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority between Union Station of the Red Line of the Washington Metro and Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
When the Dupont Circle Metro Station opened on January 15, 1977, there were no route changes made to the D6 & D8 Metrobus Routes.
However, both routes did begin serving the Dupont Circle Metro Station in the middle of their routes ever since it opened.
On the other hand, during this same exact time, the D8 Metrobus Route was truncated to only operate between Washington Hospital Center & the Union Station.
The segment of D8's routing west of the Union Station to Sibley Hospital was discontinued and completely taken over/replaced by the D1, D3, & D6 Metrobus Routes.
At the same time, the D8 Metrobus Route completely took over/replaced the segment of D6's former routing between the Union Station & Washington Hospital Center, via the Rhode Island Avenue Metro Station.
While the D8 Metrobus Route would continue to operate seven days a week between the Washington Hospital Center & Union Station, D8 would operate on shortened late night trips between only the Rhode Island Avenue Metro Station & Union Station.

Igor Piddubny (also spelled Poddubny; ; born June 18, 1965) is a Ukrainian journalist, media manager, politician, and film director known for a number of documentaries that covered controversial topics in Ukrainian history and were aimed at Russophone audiences in both Ukraine and Russia.
One of these documentaries, which delves into the life of Stepan Bandera, one of the leaders of Ukrainian nationalists, topped the ratings of , the national television channel in Ukraine, for the year 2015.
He graduated from Kharkiv National University of Radioelectronics in 1991, and later took courses in journalism from the University of Vienna.
Piddubny's career in journalism started amid the economic chaos, hyperinflation, and uncertainty that followed the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
In 1992, he worked for the newly formed Kharkiv newspaper ATV and became the deputy head of the Kharkiv office of Nika TV, a newly formed cable television company headquartered in Moscow.
After the success of the Orange Revolution in 2005, Avakov was appointed the Governor of Kharkiv Oblast by newly elected president Viktor Yushchenko.
Both Piddubny and Avakov denounced the attack and alluded that only two people could have behind it; however, seven years after the arson, the perpetrators had still not been found.
In 2009, one of Piddubny's projects in the council was the electronic condolence book of Kharkiv Oblast which aimed to preserve information about local victims of World War II.
In the summer of 2010, Piddubny helped defending Kharkiv's urban forest from the road laying and the associated tree-cutting initiated by Hennadiy Kernes.
The attempt to defend the forest failed, however, as the protesters were beaten and their camp destroyed by pro-Kernes titushky, and the road was eventually built.
In simultaneously held local elections, Piddubny was successfully elected to , but his patron, Arsen Avakov, lost his head-to-head controversial and contested electoral battle with Hennadiy Kernes for the position of Kharkiv mayor.
As freedom of the press in Ukraine deteriorated, by 2011, most Avakov-controlled media were forced off the air or out of circulation.
It utilized YouTube as its underlying platform, and offered a mix of studio programs and live news, often from unpaid stringers armed only with mobile phones.
Although Piddubny's documentaries deal with Ukrainian history, they are filmed in Russian and specifically aimed at Russophone audiences in both Ukraine and Russia.
First, Ukrainian-speaking audiences know Ukrainian history much better and do not have as many questions (or hold as controversial opinions) as the Russian-speaking Ukrainians.
The documentary was filmed in 2014 in multiple locations, including Bandera's birthplace, Staryi Uhryniv; other Ukrainian towns associated with Bandera and his followers; Jezkazgan in Kazakhstan (the location of the largest Soviet labor camps for Ukrainian political prisoners); and inside Moscow archives.
The film received overall positive reviews from critics, who thought Piddubny managed to maintain an independent viewpoint free of propaganda for either side, and that such an account of Stepan Bandera was long overdue.
Boris Bahteev, a critic, believes, however, that Piddubny hadn't completely freed his worldview from the Soviet propaganda and mythology created around Bandera.
It gained additional audience on YouTube and on 1+1 TV channel, and is being used in Ukraine in secondary schools as an educational aid.
It investigates the question who had a more righteous claim to the Crimean peninsula, which was annexed by Russia in 2014.
Aside from Ukrainian television, the film was shown internationally within the Ukrainian diaspora in United States and in Europe, including Vienna, Budapest, and Stockholm.
The documentary received positive reviews from Ukrainian historians and and Russian historian Boris Sokolov The documentary was criticized, however, because it was filmed in Russian rather than Ukrainian.

The Moskalyev SAM-11 was an amphibious version of the SAM-5bis-2, with a flying boat hull, retractable landing gear and raised engine and tail to avoid spray.
Like the Moskalyev SAM-10, the wooden SAM-11 was a development of the SAM-5bis-2, sharing the same cantilever high wing and tail though with the tailplane raised well above the fuselage.
The original SAM-11 was powered by a tractor configuration, 220 kW (300 hp) inverted, air-cooled, six cylinder inline Bessonov MM-1 engine in a nacelle above the wing on a central pylon.
The hull was flat-sided and contained a cabin for the pilot and three passengers with the pilot ahead of the wing leading edge and with two windows on each side for the passengers.
The triangular plan tailplane was mounted at about one third fin height and carried rounded, tabbed elevators, separated for rudder movement.
On water the SAM-11 relied for stability on stepless stabilizing floats, wing-mounted on pairs of vertical struts and braced by inward leaning struts.
There, the legs were fixed to the fuselage underside but the planing bottom of the SAM-11 meant that they had to be attached to the plywood-covered sides, reinforced in that area.
That first flight was not a success; turbulent prop-wash reaching the tail surfaces produced a loss of control and the SAM-11 was damaged.
It was rebuilt as the SAM-11 bis, fitted with a Voronezh MV-6 engine in a redesigned nacelle, the engine change forced by unobtainability of the more powerful MM-1.
It was officially tested at Sevastopol and flew satisfactorily but did not reach production as its payload with the lower power MV-6 was judged too small.
The plot centres on an expert in Aramaic, Theo Griepenkerl, who discovers nine papyrus scrolls following the bombing of an Iraqi museum.

Hermit Mountain is a mountain summit located in Glacier National Park, in the Hermit Range of the Selkirk Mountains in British Columbia, Canada.
It is also set north-northwest of Mount Tupper, and north of Rogers Pass, from which it can be seen from the Trans-Canada Highway.
The first ascent of the mountain was made August 4, 1904, by Alex M. Gordon, Samuel Harper Gray, James C. Herdman, Edward Feuz, and Edward Feuz Jr. via the Southeast Couloir.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Hermit Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.
This climate supports the Tupper Glacier on the south slope, Hermit Glacier on the north aspect, and an unnamed glacier in the east cirque.
Precipitation runoff from the mountain and meltwater from these surrounding glaciers on its slopes drains into tributaries of the Beaver River.

The Queer LitFest, Chennai (QLF), also known as Chennai Queer LitFest () is an annual literary festival which takes place in the Indian city Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
The event is organized by Queer Chennai Chronicles, an independent publishing and literary forum based in Chennai, and is the first Queer LitFest India.
The festival began as the brain child of Chennai based queer activist Moulee, who thought there was a need for a wider discussion on queer literature in India that would bring queer writers, translators and allies together.
The Chennai Queer LitFest was started in 2018 to focus on LGBTQIA+ literature in Tamil and other Indian languages, and to highlight queer identified authors, translators and artists.
QLF has hosted participants that include writers, translators and artists of Tamil Nadu, and from Delhi, Karnataka, Kerala, Manipur, Mumbai and London.
QLF has included themes like Queer identities in India, Inclusive children's literature, Art in Queer literature, translations and Queer literature in publishing.

Two series of Tongyuan (銅元) were simultaneously in circulation, one carried the inscription Guangxu Yuanbao (光緒元寶), which was also used for silver coins, and the other with the inscription Da-Qing Tongbi.
While the Guangxu Yuanbao were often provincially issued and at first were of different weights, the Da-Qing Tongbi was introduced by the imperial government in the hopes to create a unified national currency system.
The Qing dynasty had a bimetallic coinage system, and similar titles were also used for other standardised metal coinages such as the silver Da-Qing Yinbi (大清銀幣) and the gold Da-Qing Jinbi (大清金幣).
Due to a shortage of copper at the end of the Qing dynasty, the mint of Guangzhou, Guangdong began striking round copper coins without square holes in June 1900.
These struck coins were well received because of their higher quality compared to cast coins and their convenience in carriage, as well as their uniform weight and copper content compared to the less consistent alloys of cast Chinese coinage.
As these coins were profitable to manufacture it did not take long before other provinces started making machine-struck cash coins too, and soon 20 bureaus were opened across China.
As these coins became more common they eventually replaced the old cast coins as the main medium of exchange for small purchases among the Chinese people.
Due to the success of these Cantonese milled coins, the government of the province of Fujian started minting their own version of this coin in August of 1900.
From the year 1901 the provinces of Jiangsu, Hubei, Anhui, Zhejiang, Fengtian, Hunan, Beiyang Zhili, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Jilin, Shandong, Henan, Guangxi, and Yunnan had all begun to manufacture milled copper-alloy coins and distributed them nationwide.
They became so became so popular that by the 31st year of the Guangxu Emperor (1906) they were being produced at 15 different bureaus in 12 provinces.
The government of the Qing dynasty hoped to regain control of its currency system in order to also get more control over its own internal affairs.
The designs of the Da-Qing Tongbi coins is similar to that of the Guangxu Yuanbao coins, the inscription Da-Qing Tongbi written in large Traditional Chinese characters occupied the centre part of the obverse side of the coin.
In the very centre of the coin, between the Da-Qing Tongbi characters, was one or two small Chinese characters indicating the provincial mint where the coin was manufactured.
Near the top of the rim of the coin, the inscription Da-Qing Tongbi was again written down, but this time it was written using the Manchu script, as Manchu was the language of the ruling class of the Qing dynasty.
The reverse side of the Da-Qing Tongbi coin, like the Guangxu Yuanbao provincial coinages, also had the design of a Chinese dragon on it, but these dragons have much fewer variations in comparison to those on the Guangxu Yuanbao milled coins because of the imperial governments efforts in standarising designs.
Both Chinese and foreigners soon started producing struck cash coins of inferior quality often with traces of the Korean 5 fun coins they were overstruck on, or with characters and symbols not found on official government issued coins.
Joseon began minting modern-style machine-struck copper-alloy coins in 1892, which was 8 years before the Qing dynasty did so in China.
The majority of the counterfeit coins bear the inscription that they were minted in either Zhejiang province or Shandong province, but they circulated all over the coastal regions of China.
For example there can still be traces of a wreath surrounding the dragon or minor traces of the original Korean inscription.

It is considered an iconic work of 20th century architecture, and one of very few that Hejduk realised during his lifetime.
Focused on a shortage of social housing in West Berlin, it became the largest urban renewal effort in Europe at the time.
Whilst he did not win, the director of IBA Neubau (New Buildings), Josef Paul Kleihues, was impressed by Hejduk's ideas and invited him to propose a building project for an empty plot — number 11 — between Kochstrasse and Charlottenstrasse (in additional to two other plots, in Tegel and on Friedrichstrasse ).
At this point in time, Hejduk was best known as the Dean of the Cooper Union School of Architecture in New York, and as an architect whose output mostly consisted of poetry, drawings, and publications.
Instead, all 55 apartments across the three buildings were given over to social housing, in what was, at the time, a largely Turkish Gastarbeiter demographic in Kreuzberg.
The Kreuzberg Tower consists of five independent towers interconnected by internal and external walkways: the towers are square, rectangular and circular in plan.
The largest of these towers comprises living area on the lower level, and a loft-type artist's studio on the upper level.
Two other Hejduk designed constructions — entitled House of the Painter and House of the Musician — were originally intended to stand in the courtyard area, but were never realised.
He purchased a commission into the 9th Regiment of Foot as an ensign in August 1835, and was promoted to lieutenant, again by purchase, in October 1837.
Elmhirst served in the First Anglo-Afghan War, and was mentioned in despatches for recapturing a British gun during the expedition to Kohistan.
Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed without scoring by Richard Skelton in Manchester's first-innings, while in their second-innings he made 45 runs before being dismissed by James Burbeary, sharing in a partnership of 109 with Edward Martin.
He purchased the rank of major in June 1852, before serving in the Crimean War, during which he was promoted to lieutenant colonel without purchase in March 1855.
He was decorated with the Legion of Honour by France in May 1857 and with the Order of the Medjidie by the Ottoman Empire in March 1858.
The following year he was promoted to major-general, while in the 1873 Birthday Honours he was appointed to the Order of the Bath.
Elmhirst was appointed as the regimental colonel of the South Staffordshire Regiment in September 1881, a role he held for over ten years, before serving in the same capacity with the Royal Norfolk Regiment in September 1893.

October 2004 in Mannheim) was a German art dealer with the first Art Gallery for international contemporary art in Mannheim (Germany) after the Second World War 1945.
In the late years of the Second World War she met the young architect Harro Lauter (October 17, 1919 - October 5, 1996), whom she married in 1948.
After spending 3 years in her father-in-law's parental home in Hoffenheim / Sinsheim (Germany), her husband was appointed architect in 1952 to the Mannheim Building Authority.
In 1963, in collaboration with the Mannheim and Paris based artist Rudi Baerwind and the Galerie Paul Facchetti Paris, she opened the first gallery for international contemporary art after the Second World War in Mannheim.
Galerie Margarete Lauter opened on November 21, 1963 with an exhibition that took place in close collaboration with the Galerie Paul Facchetti, Paris.
In 1967 the gallery moved to larger rooms in B 4, 10a, where up to 6 exhibitions under the new name Galerie Lauter took place every year with international contemporary art (1967-1990).
From 1990 to 1996 Lauter changed for new tall spaces at Friedrichsplatz 14, right next to the Kunsthalle Mannheim and Mannheim's landmark, the water tower.
From 1996 she retired to private rooms for 4 years after her husband passed away, focusing on smaller exhibitions and art consulting.
Lauter ended her gallery activities in spring 2003, after 40 years of successful work, in which she was able to build up numerous new private collections.
Poor air quality in Utah is due to the mountainous topography which can cause pollutants to build up near the surface (especially during inversions) combined with the prevalence of emissions from gasoline and diesel powered vehicles, especially older models.
In 2017 the American Lung Association (ALA) ranked Salt Lake City-Provo-Orem area as the 14th worst city for ozone air quality in the U.S. and 8th for worst short-term particle pollution, just after Los Angeles.
For example, from 2015 to 2016 the state offered up to a $1500 credit for clean fuel vehicles However, in 2019 Utah began imposing an additional registration fee on clean fuel vehicles that will increase to $120 annually by 2021.
While inversions are a natural phenomenon, when coupled with community emissions from gasoline and diesel vehicles, wood fires, industry, and agriculture they can cause unnatural accumulations of hazardous pollutants (especially PM).
A typical winter in Salt Lake City has about 6 multi-day inversions that lead to about 18 days of pollution above National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
To improve air quality, especially during inversions, there are restrictions on burning wood fires with fines starting at $150 for first time offenses in Salt Lake County.
Emissions can be reduced by using gasoline and diesel vehicles less by more carpooling and taking public transit, less idling, use of newer vehicles (especially clean fuel vehicles), and combining trips.
Less use of gas-powered snow blowers, fireworks, gas-powered lawnmowers, and materials with high volatile organic compound emissions such as certain paints can help keep air clean throughout the year.
Two pollutant measurements of highest concern for health are PM (or amount of fine particulates with diameters of 2.5 μm or less) of and ozone levels.
To try and reduce negative health effects of outdoor air quality in Utah, at risk groups (including the young, the elderly, and those who exercise outdoors) are advised to stay indoors.
Particulates, especially smaller ones such as PM, can enter deep into the lungs to cause or worsen respiratory disease issues, and decrease lung function.
Particulates can also cross the blood–brain barrier and cause degenerative brain diseases such as Dementia and Alzheimer's, mental illness, and reduced intelligence.
Particulates can be emitted either directly (primary) from sources like exhaust gas, wood fires and fireworks, or can form in the atmosphere (secondary) from chemicals emitted from VOCs like fuel and household products (like paints), and gaseous vehicle emissions of NOx.
Exposure to higher levels of ozone during pregnancy has been linked with an increased risk of stillbirth, infant mortality, and brain disorders.
An MIT study estimated 200,000 premature deaths occur in the U.S. each year as a result of poor air quality, with the most significant contribution from vehicles.
The study estimated 461 premature deaths in Utah annually due to high levels of ozone and particulate matter, with vehicle emissions leading to 147 of the deaths annually.
In 2017 the Utah Winter Fine Particulate Study (UWFPS) involved intensive studies from the air and ground of particulates and their formation in northern Utah basins in winter.
Researchers were from NOAA ESRL, the Utah Division of Air Quality, the University of Utah, University of Toronto, University of Washington, and USDA.
Life expectancy increased by about 3 years from 1980 to 2000 and 5 months of that were attributed to better air quality by Pope.
Legislation in Utah in response to poor air quality has been mixed, with some laws and ordinances expected to help, and others expected to worsen air quality.
The law, which was sponsored by Wayne Harper and Mike Schultz, implements an additional annual registration fee of up to $120 on clean air vehicles by the year 2020.
The additional fees were opposed by air quality advocates such as the nonprofits Breathe Utah, and Utah Clean Energy which has stated the fees are misguided.
Clean air advocates have voiced concerns that the additional fees will slow electric vehicle adoption in Utah and promote poorer air quality.
On January 1, 2017 most oil refineries in the U.S. were required to start meeting Environmental Protection Agency rules for Tier 3 fuels which would reduce NO, VOC, and sulfur emissions.
Due to their smaller size, the five refineries in Utah were exempt from the EPA requirement, and the state of Utah allowed the exemption.
The Silver Eagle refinery voluntarily met the requirement in 2018, and Andeavor and Chevron voluntarily committed to meet the standard by January 1, 2020.
Utah has been opposed to allowing California to set higher standards for fuel efficiency and for reduced emissions for higher standards of air quality than the federal government.
Utah legislatures Stephen Handy and Suzanne Harrison have spoken out against the rollback of fuel standards by the Trump administration, citing negative effects of air pollution in Utah on health.
Anti-idling ordinances were passed in Salt Lake City in 2011 with fines of up to $210 for idling for more than 2 minutes.

The rivière du Canot is a stream flowing in the territory of La Tuque, in the administrative region of Mauricie, and will drain into the Gatineau River in the unorganized territory of Lac-De La Bidière, in the Antoine-Labelle Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Laurentides, in Quebec, in Canada.
Lac du Canot (length: in an east-west direction; altitude: ) is the main head water body of the Rivière du Canot.
From Lac du Canot, the Rivière du Canot runs southwest through three lakes, up to two outlets (southeast and northwest), the mouths of which are almost opposite.
From this confluence, the Canot River flows southwest through several zones of rapids, to the outlet (coming from the east) of Lac Rond (altitude: ).
The Rivière du Canot crosses a final segment of south, to its confluence with the Gatineau River where the latter forms a bend from the west and redirecting southerly.
In its upper part, the Canot river flows to the southwest, more or less in parallel (on the west side) with the rivière aux Bleuets.
The characteristics of the canoe make it useful especially for portages, shelter by forming a tent and especially navigate in shallow waters.
The toponym Rivière du Canot was formalized on December 5, 1968 at the Place Names Bank of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.

In addition to the wilderness areas listed above, the Act created the White Rocks National Recreation Area in the Green Mountain National Forest.
Eliya ibn ʿUbaid, also called Eliya al-Jawharī, was the bishop of Jerusalem and then archbishop of Damascus in the Church of the East.
It does not include the dioceses of the province of China or the province of India, perhaps because metropolitans were no longer being sent to them.
Since Eliya wrote in Arabic, while the official records of the church were kept in Syriac, there is some uncertainty regarding the identification of some dioceses.
Eliya wrote the oldest surviving list of patriarchs of the Church of the East, although it only survives in a thirteenth-century manuscript (Vatican Library, Cod.
Eliya of Damascus is the first historian to record—and may himself have fabricated—the existence of five apocryphal early patriarchs with the dates of their pontificates: Abris (120–137), Abraham (159–171), Yaʿqob I (190), Aha d'Abuh (204–220) and Shahlufa (220–224).
The last two are in fact late third-century bishops of Erbil who were transferred forward in time and upward in office.
Eliya also placed the historical patriarch Tomarsa in the middle of the third century, to fill a gap between Shahlufa and Papa, whose reign began around 280.

The Tuborg Bottle (Danish: Tuborgflasken) is a 26 metres tall landmark shaped as a Tuborg bottle located close to Tuborg's former brewery site, now Tuborg Havn, Hellerup, in the northern suburbs of Copenhagen, Denmark.
The Tuborg Bottle was originally constructed as Tuborg Breweries' contribution to the Nordic Exhibition of 1888 in Copenhagen and it was then located where Copenhagen City Hall stands today.
The Tuborg Bottle was after the closure of the exhibition in 1889 moved to a site next to the Tuborg headquarters at the corner of Strandvejen and Carolinevej in Hellerup.
The entrance fee to the tower was 5 øre but the 5 øre was refunded if visitors enjoyed a glass of beer in the adjacent restaurant and beer gqarden after visiting the tower.
The Tuborg Bottle was in 1988 temporarily moved to City Hall Square in Copenhagen to mark the 150 years anniversary of the Industrial Council (Industrirådet) as well as the 100 years anniversary of the Tuborg Bottle.
The Tuborg Bottle is 26 metres tall and has retained its original shape but has apart from that undergone a number of changes since it was first erected in 1888.
The original design featured a Red Tuborg lager beer label but it was changed to a Green Tuborg label as pilsner beer grew in popularity.
It peaked at number 7 in the Germany, number 9 in Switzerland, number 10 in Austria and number 16 in Norway.
It is sung in German, and the music video features Blümchen performing the song while she rolls around on roller skates.
Roslyn Betty Poignant (May 12, 1927 – November 7, 2019) was an Australian photographic anthropologist who collaboratively published, interpreted, managed, and repatriated husband Axel Poignant's photographs including photos of indigenous peoples from Arnhem Land, Papua New Guinea, and Tahiti; also involved in photographing and writing about museum collections of the material culture of Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Australia.
Poignant was educated at Sydney Girls High School and then went on take history and anthropology at the University of Sydney.
She began studying pictures of indigenous Australians in her first job working with linguist Ted Strehlow who had recorded some of their ceremonies.
She found these in the 1970s in the Royal Anthropological Institute and she was particularly interested in one of Bonaparte's photographs of three Australian aboriginals who she found out were named Billy, Jenny and Toby.
These people were all thought to be dead and buried until the mummified body of Kukamunburra (Tambo) was discovered in a funeral home in Cleveland, Ohio.
The Lac des Pas Perdus is a freshwater body in the watershed of the Pikauba River, of the Chicoutimi River (via the Kenogami Lake) and the Saguenay River.
Lac des Pas Perdus is located in the unorganized territory of Lac-Pikauba, in the Charlevoix Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.

Originally, Kautokeino Municipality was part of the Alta prosti, but on 1 April 1991, Kautokeino was moved to the newly created Indre Finnmark prosti.
Originally, Karasjok and Porsanger municipalities were part of the Hammerfest prosti, but on 1 April 1991, both were moved to the newly created Indre Finnmark prosti.
This deanery was established on 1 April 1991 when parts of the three existing deaneries were transferred to this new Sami-majority deanery: Kautokeino (from Alta prosti), Porsanger and Karasjok (from Hammerfest prosti), and Tana and Nesseby (from Varanger prosti).
This deanery is also the only deanery in Norway with a majority of members being Sami people, which is why the Northern Sami language is the administrative language for the deanery.
The deanery was created in its present form in 1998 when the Indre Troms prosti was established and Balsfjord was transferred there.
The deanery was created in 1998 by transferring Bardu and Målselv municipalities from Senja prosti, Balsfjord from Troms prosti, and Lavangen and Salangen from Trondenes prosti.
This deanery was established on 1 January 1860 when the old Senja prosti was divided into two deaneries: Senja in the north and Trondenes in the south.
This deanery covers the eastern part of Finnmark in the areas surrounding the Varangerfjorden and the areas on the Varanger Peninsula.
Varanger prosti was established on 14 May 1864 when the old Øst-Finnmark prosti was dissolved, moving Lebesby prestegjeld to the newly created Hammerfest prosti and the rest of the old deanery became Varanger prosti.
Originally, Tana and Nesseby municipalities were part of the Varanger prosti, but on 1 April 1991, both were moved to the newly created Indre Finnmark prosti.

The Jacqueline Lake (French: Lac Jacqueline) is a fresh body of water from the catchment area of the Rivière aux Écorces, of the Pikauba River and Saguenay River, in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The area around the lake is served indirectly by the route 175 which passes on the east side, for the needs of recreational tourism activities, especially vacationing.
The surface of Lake Jacqueline is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from mid-December to mid-March.
This lake is mainly fed by riparian streams, by the outlet (coming from the east) of Lory Lake and by a stream (coming from the southeast).
This lake is surrounded by mountains on the east and south sides, whose summits reach to the northeast, to the east and to the south.
Donnis Hazel Thompson (April 1, 1933 – February 2, 2009) was an American professor of health, physical education, and recreation at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and was the university's first women's athletic director.
However, when Thompson left the University of Hawaii to pursue her PhD at Northern Colorado University, the track team was unable to be supported and eventually disbanded.
Upon returning to the University of Hawaii, Thompson worked alongside Congresswoman Patsy Mink to write the legislation for Title IX to end discrimination on the basis of gender.
Soon after the passing of Title IX in 1972, she was appointed the university's first women's athletic director, on a budget of $5,000.
With this amount, she hired Dave Shoji in 1975 to become a part-time women's volleyball coach on a salary of $2,000 per season.
As a result of her success, Thompson was named the State of Hawaii Department of Education school superintendent, before being terminated in 1984 for a lack of long range planning and policy.
Prior to leaving the University of Hawaii, Thompson helped add five more women's sports and achieve a National Volleyball Championship title.

Roman Salanoa (born 28 October 1997) is an American rugby union player who is currently a member of Irish province Leinster's academy.
He attended Kahuku High & Intermediate School and, after helping the school win a state championship in American football in 2015, Salanoa earned an All-State selection as a defensive linesman.
In his final year of high school, Salanoa began playing rugby union for Kahuku High, and he helped the school to a state championship in the sport, the second such accolade for Salanoa.
Aged 18 and having played only a handful of games in the sport, Salanoa was then selected in the United States national under-20 rugby union team for the 2016 World Rugby Under 20 Trophy, where they finished fifth.
Following his performances for the United States under-20s team, a week-long trial was arranged for Salanoa with Irish provincial team Leinster in late 2016.
He returned to Ireland to join Leinster's sub-academy in September 2017, and he also joined Dublin-based club Old Belvedere, playing for the club's under-20s.
Salanoa progressed to Old Belvedere's senior side, playing in Division 1B of the All-Ireland League, whilst also featuring for Leinster A in the 2018 Cara Cup, a tournament hosted in the United States between Major League Rugby side the New England Free Jacks and the 'A' teams for each of the four Irish provincial clubs.
After training with the senior squad during 2019–20 pre-season, Salanoa made his non-competitive debut for Leinster as a replacement in their 47–17 friendly win against English side Coventry in August 2019, before making his senior competitive debut as a replacement in Leinster's 54–42 win against provincial rivals Ulster in round 8 of the 2019–20 Pro14 on 20 December 2019.

In discrete geometry and computational geometry, the relative convex hull or geodesic convex hull is an analogue of the convex hull for the points inside a simple polygon or a rectifiable simple closed curve.
Let formula_1 be a simple polygon or a rectifiable simple closed curve, and let formula_2 be any set enclosed by formula_1.
A subset formula_6 of the points inside formula_1 is said to be relatively convex, geodesically convex, or formula_1-convex if, for every two points of formula_6, the geodesic between them in formula_1 stays within formula_6.
However this definition is complicated by the need to use weakly simple polygons (intuitively, polygons in which the polygon boundary can touch or overlap itself but not cross itself) instead of simple polygons when formula_2 is disconnected and its components are not all visible to each other.
, who provided an efficient algorithm for the construction of the relative convex hull for finite sets of points inside a simple polygon.
With subsequent improvements in the time bounds for two subroutines, finding shortest paths between query points in a polygon, and polygon triangulation, this algorithm takes time formula_17 on an input with formula_18 points in a polygon with formula_19 vertices.
The relative convex hull of a finite set of points is always a weakly simple polygon, but it might not actually be a simple polygon, because parts of it can be connected to each other by line segments or polygonal paths rather than by regions of nonzero area.
A simple polygon formula_1 within another simple polygon formula_21 is relatively convex or formula_21-convex if every line segment contained in formula_21 that connects two points of formula_1 lies within formula_1.
The relative convex hull of a simple polygon formula_1 within formula_21 can be defined as the intersection of all formula_21-convex polygons that contain formula_1, as the smallest formula_21-convex polygon that contains formula_1, or as the minimum-perimeter simple polygon that contains formula_1 and is contained by formula_21.
This type of hull can be used in algorithms for testing whether the two polygons can be separated into disjoint halfplanes by a continuous linear motion, and in data structures for collision detection of moving polygons.
The definition of relative convex hulls based on minimum enclosure does not extend to higher dimensions, because (even without being surrounded by an outer shape) the minimum surface area enclosure of a non-convex set is not generally convex.
However, for the relative convex hull of a connected set within another set, a similar definition to one for simple polygons can be used.
In this case, a relatively convex set can again be defined as a subset of the given outer set that contains all line segments in the outer set between pairs of its points.
Hanna Huttunen (born 14 April 1969 in Outokumpu) is a Finnish politician currently serving in the Parliament of Finland for the Centre Party at the Savonia-Karelia constituency.
The dam was built by the Ford Motor Company in 1924 for hydroelectricity for the nearby Ford Motor Company Lamp Factory, which remained in operation until 1950.
The much smaller Huroc Dam is located about 900 feet (274 m) downstream, and the river remains unobstructed after that point.
When the dam was completed, the resulting flooding created a 188-acre (76 ha) pond; the reservoir has no official name but is generally referred to as the Flat Rock Pond.
Other fish within the Huron River at this point include northern pike, walleye, large and smallmouth bass, silver bass, channel catfish, bluegill, sunfish and black crappie.
While the Flat Rock Pond is mostly inaccessible due to private land ownership, the area immediately south of the dam has been organized into a public park known as Huroc Park (sometimes spelled Hurock Park) on an artificially created island within the Huron River.
A pedestrian bridge leads to the island and crosses the very small Huroc Dam, which is sometimes erroneously referred to as the Flat Rock Dam.
McCune Run drains of area, receives about 43.7 in/year of precipitation, has a topographic wetness index of 409.28, and has an average water temperature of 8.25°C.
Theater in the Round Players (TRP) is a community theatre performing on the West Bank of the University of Minnesota, in Minneapolis.
Since 1969 it has performed in its own (purchased in the late 1988) 287-seat arena stage in with the audience surrounds the stage.
TRP continues its work of supporting the theatre community today, in ongoing partnerships with the University of Minnesota Theater and others, providing a training ground for theater professionals in training.
Seven founding members of Theatre in the Round Players (TRP) decided to continue to work together, when their previous theater - the Circle Theater - closed in 1951.
They moved in 1961 and then in 1963, to a more stable location on Stevens Avenue, where the Minneapolis Convention Center is now located.
In 1969 they moved in to their current location on the West Bank, rebuilding and renovating it to meet their needs.
Their presence on the West Bank, along with Mixed Blood Theatre, Dudley Riggs, and other smaller groups working at the Southern Theater and other spaces, helped re-invigorate the West Bank as an theater-entertainment destination.
During the experimental days of the 1960's, their collaboration with the University of Minnesota Theatre began with the University of Minnesota’s Office of Advanced Drama Research.
The Minnesota State Arts Board also provided a grant in the late 1960's for TRP to tour Minnesota to help communities develop their own theater groups.
Over time, that evolved into the work of the play-selection committee, composed of members of its board of directors as well as the theater community.
TRP focuses on supporting not only those new directors, but new actors and new audience members as well - to build up the theater community.
Charles Nolte, stage and screen actor who earned his doctorate at the U in 1966 and taught there through the 1960's, also directed more than a dozen TRP productions.
TRP also provided classes to preschool and elementary age children, in conjunction with the University of Minnesota Continuing Education in the Arts.
Theater in the Round Players has followed a path supported by the classics, allowing for careful additions of new works - both american and international.
Brachyscome ascendens, commonly known as border ranges daisy, is a perennial herb in the family Asteraceae and is endemic to Australia.
The leaves grow from the base and along the stems, usually lance-shaped, broader at the apex, long, wide and leaf edges usually lobed or toothed.
The 12-18 overlapping flower bracts are in diameter, elliptic or egg-shaped, rounded at the tip, long, wide with prominent dry and thin edges.
Border ranges daisy grows in forests or woodland on rocky basalt slopes from the McPherson Range area and to the east near the New South Wales and Queensland border.
Founded in 1929, it was the largest and oldest production facility in St. Louis, used to shoot feature films and television commercials.
It contained a recording studio where Ike & Tina Turner cut their first track in 1960, and Chuck Berry recorded there in the 1960s and 1970s.

Milestone now focuses on naturalistic themes with subjects including powerful women and circus performers often set in mystic backgrounds inspired by dreams, emotions and imagination.
According to the Winston-Salem Journal, Milestone has spent the last two decades refining his painting with more ambitious, poetic subjects The paintings are a story that viewer gets to finish on their own, never completed until the painting goes out into the world and finds a new home.
Milestone has had twenty four exhibitions locally, regionally, nationally and internationally including several museums and a feature in The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture: Folk Art.
On the sides of Tai Tau Chau and Shek O Headland were Island Bay and Shek O Wan (Rocky Bay) respectively.
Shek O Headland and Tai Tau Chau are evidently as one rock formation, but was separated due to erosion, forming the tombolo between the headland and the island.
It was reported that, as of 15 October 1979, 16 illegal immigrants from that boat were missing, which a few swam to Shek O beach and trying to sneak to the city centre.
On 14 October 1979, another boat was discovered near the island, but the illegal immigrants escaped before the arrival of the police.
At that time Hong Kong had a policy that once the illegal immigrants had reached the city centre without being caught, they can apply for Hong Kong identity cards.
The island was used to be connected to Shek O Headland by a footbridge, as well as a gravelbar that would be covered by water during high tides.
Along the bridge deck, a waste water pipe was installed to transport waste water from Shek O Preliminary Treatment Works to the island and then release to the Tathong Channel.
Sharon Wright Austin (née Sharon D. Wright) is an American political scientist, currently a professor of political science at the University of Florida, where she was also a longtime Director of the African-American Studies Program.
Austin is a prominent scholar of American politics with specialties in African-American studies, political participation, and both urban and rural local politics.
She then completed a master's degree in political science with a minor in education at the University of Memphis in 1989, followed in 1993 by a PhD in political science with a focus on American Government from the University of Tennessee.
Although Austin was interested in African-American political participation and minority politics in the United States, she was sometimes discouraged from pursuing these topics early in her career because of the perception that they were not valued by the editors and reviewers at top political science journals.
Austin is a leading scholar of the political behavior of African-American women, the elections of African-Americans to local offices, and the political behavior of minority groups in American politics, particularly activism among African-Americans in rural areas.
After receiving her PhD from the University of Tennessee in 1993, Austin became a professor of Pan-African studies at the University of Louisville.
In 2001 she moved to the University of Michigan for one year, before becoming a professor at the University of Florida in 2001.
When Austin became Director in 2012, the University of Florida began offering a major in African-American Studies, and under her tenure the program grew to the point that the University of Florida had the most students majoring in African-American Studies of any program in the United States.
The book studied the features, successes, and limitations of African-American electoral politics in Memphis from the 1870s to the 1990s, in the context of unremitting white supremacy and powerful White electoral coalitions.
This finding is counterintuitive, because on the surface the rate of electoral success of African-Americans there appeared to skyrocket: there were 57 African-American elected officials in Mississippi in 1970, and 897 in 2000.
The book arrived at this finding through a combination of historical and sociological methods, personal interviews, and statistical analysis on extensive data.
Austin tested the extent to which the political behaviour of Black immigrants would differ from or resemble the distinctive contemporary and historical features of African-American politics, since the phenomenon of Black immigrants arriving to the United States from several different countries simultaneously is relatively recent, and recent immigrants may not have been present for various formative events in African-American political history.
The book documents how the construction of a racial consciousness and the incorporation of immigrants into an existing political group identity can function as important mechanisms for engaging minority groups in political processes.
Austin is a member of the 2020-2024 editorial leadership of the American Political Science Review, which is the most selective political science journal.
According to contemporaneous reporters, Elsie began acting at the age of 5 before going to drama school and honing her craft.
Malcolm has become one of Goldblum's most iconic and fan favourite characters, and has been depicted in many forms of popular culture.
In Crichton's novel, Dr. Ian Malcolm, along with paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant and paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler are hired as consultants by InGen CEO John Hammond to give their opinions on Jurassic Park, a theme park on the remote island of Isla Nublar that features genetically recreated dinosaurs.
During the tour of the park, disgruntled computer programmer Dennis Nedry shuts down power to the park to gain access to dinosaur embryos to sell to a rival.
Malcolm is found by employee Robert Muldoon and lawyer Donald Gennaro and taken back to one of the lodges to be looked after by park veterinarian Dr. Harding.
Harding administers morphine to Malcolm, who spends the rest of the incident ranting about science and philosophy while attempting to assist the other survivors.
His condition continues to worsen, and by the time the Costa Rica Air Force arrives to Isla Nublar, Malcolm is said to have died from his injuries.
Malcolm is upgraded to the main protagonist of the sequel, which begins with him giving a lecture on extinction and chaos theory.
In the novel, Malcolm states that he only ever wears black so he does not have to put much thought towards what he wears.
Director James Cameron had originally wanted to direct the adaptation of the novel, and has stated that he would have wanted Bill Paxton to play the role of Malcolm.
The character also reinvigorated an interest in chaos theory, due to a scene where Malcolm flirts with Ellie Sattler while discussing it.
Goldblum has observed that many fans have gotten tattoos of the character, in particular a scene from the first movie where Goldblum appears shirtless has been the subject of many tattoos and Internet memes.
Goldblum's pose in that scene was also recreated as a Funko toy figure, as well as receving a statue in Potters Fields Park in London.
She is also known as Jacquie Kent, the name she used when writing young adult fiction in the 1990s and sometimes writes as Frances Cook.

Woodward's 43, also known as W43 or the W Building, is a tall mixed-use skyscraper located in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Since the bankruptcy of Woodward's in 1993 the original Woodward's Building remained vacant except for a housing occupation in 2002 that initiated the redevelopment process.
In 2003, the City of Vancouver, led by City Council member Jim Green, purchased the original Woodward's Building from the province for $5 million, and began a public consultation process, asking the community what they wanted from the redevelopment.
After a two-stage competition between three developers in September 2004, the city selected Westbank Projects/Peterson Investment Group to develop the project together with architecture firm of Henriquez Partners lead by Gregory Henriquez and structural engineers Glotman Simpson Consulting Engineers.
Redevelopment was seen by many as a key to revitalizing the Downtown Eastside, but the demolition of the structure in 2006 and redevelopment of the site has been met with much local resistance from the existing residents of the neighborhood.
The oldest part of the complex (built 1903–1908) was restored, and serves as a non-profit office and community space (31,500 sf), with tenants including W2 Community Media Arts.
The development permit for construction was issued on January 26, 2007, and while substantial completion was scheduled for June 2010, delays pushed that completion date back to September 2010.
In 2008 the Vancouver artist Stan Douglas completed a 30' by 50' image on glass depicting the Gastown Riots of 1971.
The over-sized photograph, together with a basketball hoop, has become the central focus within the atrium of the new Woodward's Redevelopment.
The redevelopment of the Woodward's site had the side-effect of displacing some of Vancouver's sex worker population; however, prostitutes remain in the Downtown Eastside area.
Smeltertown was a residential community housing the workers of the ASARCO smelter, and their families, near El Paso, Texas, between El Paso and the Texas borders with Mexico and New Mexico.
With only one small neighborhood, now known as the La Calavera Historical Neighborhood, remaining since the Smelter's closure, Smeltertown is sometimes referred to as a ghost town.
The Smeltertown community was served by the San Jose church, and by the Jones School of the El Paso Independent School District.
He was plant superintendent of California China Products, a co-founder of California Clay Products (CalCo), and plant manager of Malibu Potteries.
He was married to Mary E. Leary and had three sons and one daughter, including ceramicist Bradley Burr Keeler, who founded Brad Keeler Artwares and who came to be president of the California Art Potters Association and director of the California Gift and Art Association.
He spent a year camping in the garage, the home's first completed portion, while overseeing the rest of the home's construction and performing manual labor on it himself, as well.
Keeler was friends with Ernest A. Batchelder, a prominent early California ceramicist of the Arts and Crafts movement out of Pasadena, California.
Keeler worked for various clay products companies in California such as Carnegie Brick & Pottery in Carnegie, San Joaquin County, California, Gladding McBean in Lincoln, California, and California China Products in National City, California, the latter at which he worked as plant superintendent, before starting his own business in 1917, handcrafting tiles for fireplace surrounds.
CalCo produced tile for fireplace surrounds, wall inserts, framed tile wall hangings, wainscoting, step risers, floors, countertops, fountains, and countless iterations therein.
Motifs included the flamingos, cherubs, peacocks, and Mayan and Moresque designs.The company's tile was installed in many private as well as public structures, one such being Jardin El Encanto, a 1927 real estate office in Monterey Park, California that in the modern era is the Greater Monterey Park Chamber of Commerce.
There, he oversaw a staff of 125 employees including his former CalCo employee, Lillian Ball, who became a Malibu Potteries tile glazer, then his personal assistant and secretary; tile designers William Handley, Inez Garnet Johnson Von Hake, and Donald Prouty; clayman and presser Glen Dawson, secretary Dorothy Prouty, and others.
The factory produced 30,000 square feet of tile monthly, tile that met the demand of the 1920s real estate boom of Mission Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, Moorish Revival, and Mayan Revival homes and public buildings.
Malibu tile made its way into the Roosevelt Hotel, Los Angeles City Hall, the Geffen Playhouse (then the Masonic Affiliates Club), the Mayan Theater, Dana Junior High School in San Pedro, the Adamson House, and countless private homes.
Malibu Potteries ceased to be in 1932 due to the intersection of a major kiln fire which destroyed the entirety of the factory, the Great Depression, and its owner, May Rindge's debt.
He had forgotten to turn on the exhaust fan in the lab and, incidentally, someone had carelessly left a beaker of uncorked cyanide on a nearby workbench, its odorless vapors already extant in the room.
His wife, Mary, continued to live in the home Keeler had built for the family in South Gate, remaining in residence there until 1983, when her son, Philip, had to move her to a nursing home in Orange County, California.
Through a series of fortunate events, a man named Brian Kaiser was able to purchase the home and has since become an expert on Rufus Keeler, his tile-making, and Southern California tile companies of the early 20th century, lecturing on the topic and acting as a consultant for tile preservation projects.
Meanwhile, Keeler's products remain extant throughout Southern California and beyond, public examples of which are the aforementioned Roosevelt Hotel, Los Angeles City Hall, Geffen Playhouse, Mayan Theater, Dana Junior High School in San Pedro, and Adamson House in Malibu as well as the Watts Towers in Watts, California and Serra Retreat in Malibu.

The cave is within the Salt River Canyon Wilderness and is located on the northern wall of the Salt River Canyon near the Horse Mesa Dam.
A short distance from Canyon Lake, Skeleton Cave, also known as Apache Cave and Skull Cave, is a rock shelter formed by the overhang in the cliff wall.
This was the first principal engagement during the 1872 Tonto Basin Campaign and part of the 1871 to 1875 Yavapai War.
The remains of the slain Yavapais were still in the cave along with remnants of their belongings, and this is how the cave acquired its name.
A native of Vermont, Stone was admitted to the bar in 1848 in Franklin County, Vermont, having read law in St. Albans with Judge Homer E. Royce.
There, he married Vermont native Cyrena Bailey (1830-1868) in 1850 and moved to Atlanta where he and his wife were successful both financially and socially, despite being northerners.
He had difficulty passing through confederate lines but made it to New York only to learn all his possessions had been burned.
The Colorado Central Railroad, because of the poor economy at the time, fell behind on the interest payments it owed on the rolling stock it had purchased from railroad magnate and financier Jay Gould.
Gould wanted to take over the railroad, so he planned to petition the court to place the railroad in receivership, with David Moffat as the receiver.
In August 1876, to prevent the railroad from going into receivership, a group of men with direct and indirect interests in the railroad decided to kidnap the judge to prevent him from appointing a receiver for the railroad.
The judge was Amherst W. Stone, and the court was a circuit court that met only once every three or four months.
The kidnappers stopped the train he was riding from Denver to court in Boulder, removing the judge from the train at gunpoint.
The National Guard was sent out from Denver, but by then the court clerk had closed the court because of the judge's absence, so the kidnappers brought Judge Stone back to Denver and released him.
A grand jury was convened and met twice, but the kidnapped judge was only able to identify one man, and he had skipped town, so the grand jury never issued any indictments.
The scheme worked, as the railroad was then able to secure funding to pay its debts, so it was saved from bankruptcy.
There, he was appointed county judge of Lake County, Colorado in April 1900 to fill a vacancy created by the previous judge's death.
During the Civil War, he volunteered for the 49th New York Volunteer Infantry, serving from August 1, 1861 to October 18, 1864 and rising to the rank of Major.
He worked as an assistant United States attorney in the Northern District of New York before he relocated to Colorado and began a private law practice in Denver.

Benjamin Franklin Hall (July 23, 1814—Sept 6, 1891) was a lawyer, politician, and judge from New York State who served as the first chief justice of the supreme court of Colorado Territory.
He initially worked as a teacher, then he began to study law privately, first with help from a judge and then in the law firm of Seward, Porter, and Beardsley in Auburn, New York, a firm where he became a partner in 1837.
He was elected assemblyman in the 67th New York State Legislature, which met from January 2 to May 7, 1844, representing Cayuga County.
Charles Frederick Holly (September 4, 1819—September 7, 1901) was an associate justice of the Colorado Territorial Supreme Court from June 10, 1865 to July 19, 1866.

He moved to Colorado in 1860 and was elected to Colorado's first territorial legislature, serving as the first speaker of the House of Representatives of Colorado Territory.
Holly's wife, Carrie C. Holly, and two other women were the first women elected to a state legislature in the United States.
Hayt served as a district attorney of Conejos County, Colorado, for a time, where he successfully prosecuted the case of a notorious stagecoach robbery in 1881.
When Colorado Territory was first organized in 1861, President Lincoln appointed three men to organize and serve on the new Colorado Supreme Court.
The territory was divided into three judicial districts, one headquartered in Denver, one in Central City, Colorado, and one in Cañon City.
He didn't travel to his post in Central City from Denver until 1862 and immediately proved unpopular there, with citizens petitioning the government for his removal.
Eventually, the territorial legislature solved the Armour problem by creating a new, small, and remote judicial district and assigning him to it.
He never traveled there, preferring instead to sit out the war in Denver or Central City and draw his salary until his term ended in 1865, when he returned to Maryland.
He was appointed register of voters in Leitersburg but refused to register anyone who would not vote with the Radical Republicans.
Armour died following a sudden stroke in October 1903, and is buried in Saint Paul's Lutheran Church Cemetery in Leitersburg, Maryland.
Christian Schlagle Eyster (May 19, 1814–November 6, 1886) was an associate justice of the Colorado Territorial Supreme Court from August 11, 1866 to March 2, 1871.
He was appointed by President Andrew Johnson in 1866, but because congress was not in session at the time of his appointment, the senate confirmed his appointment and he received his official commission on March 2, 1867.
From 1875–1877, Eyster served as district attorney for a large part of northeastern Colorado, including Denver (then in Arapahoe County) and Weld County.
He was admitted to the bar in 1856 and practiced law in Rock Island, Illinois until he joined the United States Army as a first lieutenant and served during the Civil War.
In 1871, President Ulysses S. Grant appointed Wells associate justice of the territorial supreme court to fill out the term of Christian S. Eyster, who had resigned, and he served for four years until 1875.
Long after serving as a State Supreme Court Justice, Wells served for eleven years (1909-1920) as the Reporter of the Supreme Court.
Upon graduating, he traveled to Colorado that same year, and, at 24-years old, he went to Pueblo and established a law practice there.
In 1876 he was elected as a Republican to the Colorado Supreme Court and immediately became the state's first chief justice.
To create staggered terms for the state's first Supreme Court, one of the newly-elected justices was to have a term of three years, the others having longer terms.
However, the law stipulated that the person who drew the lot for the shorter term would become Chief Justice, and Thatcher drew the shorter straw.
He served as a Colorado state representative, a Colorado state senator, and as an associate justice and chief justice of the Colorado Supreme Court.
He taught school for a while and then earned an LL B. degree from the University of Iowa in 1874 and moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he was admitted to the bar in 1875.
He was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives in 1877 and to the State Senate in 1879, representing El Paso County in both offices.
Helm died May 13, 1915 and is buried in Denver's Fairmount Cemetery, where he was interred following public funeral services in Denver.
While serving as the Seventh District Court Judge in Lake City, Gerry presided over the trial of accused cannibal Alferd Packer.
On September 13, 1888 Gerry was appointed by the governor to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created by the resignation of Samuel Hitt Elbert.
In 1900, Gerry ran for the office of Judge of the Seventh Judicial District — the judgeship he held before serving on the State Supreme Court — but he lost the election.
Victor Alanson Elliott (July 23, 1839–February 5, 1899) was an Associate Justice of the Colorado Supreme Court from 1888 to 1895.

He was re-elected to the office in 1882, serving for almost twelve years before being elected associate justice of the supreme court.
Elliott was elected to the Supreme Court in fall 1888 and served as an associate justice from December 4, 1888 to January 1895.
After moving to Colorado, he held various appointed and elected positions, including serving as county attorney of Morgan County, Colorado for six years.
Hill died in Los Angeles County, California on March 9, 1932 and is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale.
It appears that Gale was examined and found to possess the qualifications required for admission to the bar in New York in September 1849.

Those in West Lothian found themselves with little option but to apply for this 'rebel' setup, which retained the Midlothian name until its suspension during World War II.
Despite the true footballing strength of the area never being fully recognised due to the enduring split between the Juniors and the EoSFL, the Edinburgh league was considered sufficiently strong to form one of six 'regions' across Scotland in a re-organisation of Junior football in 1968, requiring little adjustment to its operations (the West/East divisions remained until 1973).
The period following the change was successful for the territory in terms of East member clubs reaching the Scottish Junior Cup final, achieving this 9 times (3 wins) in 15 years, compared with 15 appearances (8 wins) in the previous 42 years.
However, the small-town teams in the region had generally declined with the closure of local heavy industry, and the surviving clubs looked to boost their income by playing more matches against the leading teams in other areas.
In 2002 the new East Region Superleague was created in the east of the country in combination with the Fife League and the Tayside League.
The pattern of local appearances in the Scottish Cup final continued at a similar rate, with 3 of 8 finalists lifting the trophy over a 12-year period.
He served as the head football coach at his alma mater, Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana, from 1934 to 1956, compiling a record of 99–91–2.
It deals with the Ottoman Empire and Mehmed the Conqueror and tells the story of the Fall of Constantinople from the Turkish perspective as part of the wider spread of Islam across Asia Minor and into South East Europe.
Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II wages an epic campaign to take the Eastern Roman capital of Constantinople and shapes the course of history for centuries.
He built a broad repertoire of both serious and comic roles, and quickly became one of the pillars of the ensemble.
He also took part in numerous premieres and first performances, in works by Walter Braunfels, Paul Hindemith, Ture Rangström, Max von Schillings and Siegfried Wagner.
He only left Stuttgart for guest performances, which took him to the Bayerische Hofoper in Munich and the Großherzogliches Hoftheater in Karlsruhe, among others.
The couple had at least one son, Walter Fritz (born in 1915), who later also pursued a career as an opera singer.
However, unlike his Jewish colleagues Hermann Horner and Hermann Wilhelm Weil, who were also dismissed, he was given the right to a farewell performance.
Since the family could not survive with the meagre pension, Fritz had to work from then on as an assistant for a Stuttgart coal merchant and in a Bielefeld company.
In the 1945/46 season Fritz was brought back to the Stuttgart opera, but only with a guest performance contract for ten evenings.
His work in Stuttgart was shown in the exhibition (Silenced voices), about the expulsion of Jewish performers from 1933 to 1945, which was also shown at the Stuttgart State Opera in autumn 2008.
On 7 April 2016, another memorial session for the victims of the Nazi regime was held among the members of the Stuttgart State Theatres.

Naseem Hamed vs. César Soto was a professional boxing match contested on October 22, 1999 for the WBC, WBO and Lineal featherweight championships.
In August 1999, it was announced that WBO and lineal featherweight champion Naseem Hamed and WBC featherweight champion César Soto would meet in a unification bout on October 22 of that year.
Hamed was making his 13th defense of his title, while Soto was making his first, having defeated Luisito Espinosa for the tile earlier in the year on May 15th.
Prior to agreeing to face Soto, Hamed had himself originally hoped to face Espinosa, who prior to losing to Soto, had reigned as WBC featherweight champion for over three years.
One day prior to the fight, controversy erupted at the official weigh-in as Soto weighed 13 ounces over the 126 pound featherweight limit on a digital scale provided by Hamed and his brothers.
Soto protested this and insisted he be allowed to use his own old-fashioned mechanical scale that he had been using during his training camp to monitor his weight, at which he was able to make the 126 pound requirement.
The Michigan State Athletic Commission approved the use of two scales, though Hamed was angered by this, feeling that Soto had not made weight and was taking liberties.
His entrance consisted of him coming down a runway, pyrotechnics and him getting on a microphone and hyping up the crowd.
Hamed and Soto spent a large portion of the fight engaged in clinching, with Soto often illegally hitting Hamed during the break, for which referee Dale Grable constantly intervened and warned both fighters.
The following round then saw Hamed body-slam Soto after Soto landed on Hamed's back following a slip by Hamed after-which Hamed was again deducted a point.
Hamed, however, controlled most of the fights later rounds and won comfortably on all three judges' score cards, winning by scores of 116–108, 115–110 and 114–110.

GeneMatcher is an online service and database that aims to match clinicians studying patients with a rare disease presentation based on genes of interest.
When two or more clinicians submit the same gene to the database, the service matches them together to allow them to compare cases.
The website was launched in September 2013 by a team from a government-funded collaborative project between Johns Hopkins Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine in the United States.
The service has aided geneticists in making several discoveries, including establishing the genetic causes of a form of autism spectrum disorder, syndromes of microcephaly with hearing loss, a mitochondrial disease and Au–Kline syndrome.
The team are part of a collaborative effort between Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, United States called the Baylor–Hopkins Center for Mendelian Genomics (BHCMG), one of three such Centers for Mendelian Genomics (CMGs) established and funded by the American National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) in 2011.
If an identical gene has already been posted by another user, the match is made immediately and both users receive an email with the contact details of the other user.
The service also encourages those working with animal models to submit their gene candidates and provides an option to specify the submission by model organism.
, roughly 14% of the genes were related to animal models, and the BHCMG itself had submitted at least 180 of the genes and generated 69 matches, 16 of which were also a phenotype match.

As of 1920, the state had not elected a Democratic Congressman since 1878, and between 1900 and 1954 Democratic representation in the Oregon legislature would never exceed fifteen percent except during the above-mentioned 1930s interlude, so that Republican primaries would become the chief mode of competition.
Thus, Oregon was the only Western state apart from South Dakota to back Charles Evans Hughes, although Ozark mountaineer-settled Eastern Oregon did vote for Wilson.
By the beginning of 1920 skyrocketing inflation and Wilson's focus upon his proposed League of Nations at the expense of domestic policy had helped make the incumbent President very unpopular – besides which Wilson also had major health problems that had left First Lady Edith effectively running the nation.
Cox also said whilst touring the West that Prohibition should not be an issue as it would depend on enforcement rather than the actual passage of the Eighteenth amendment.
Oregon went with this tide, voting strongly for Republican nominee, Ohio Senator Warren G. Harding, over Democratic nominee Ohio Governor James M. Cox.
Harding carried every county in the state; however, the conservatism of Western Oregon where most of the state’s population resided meant that the swing toward the Republicans was extremely muted vis-à-vis any other Western State, and also that left-wing third parties did not have the impact they did in Washington State or some states in the Midwest.
In fact, Oregon was the only state in the West, Plains or Upper Midwest except New Mexico where the swing against the Democrats was less than the national swing, and indeed it was Harding’s weakest state north of the Missouri–Iowa border and west of the Great Lakes.

The Cagiva C589 was a racing motorcycle made by Cagiva, which was used in the 500cc class of Grand Prix motorcycle racing during the 1989 season.
This bike is the direct evolution of previous year's bike and thus it barely differs in terms of parts and definitively adopted the new inverted forks (which were also used by Randy Mamola in the 1988 championship), as well as a banana swingarm and a 'one piece' bodywork which were designed by Massimo Tamburini.
However, this design did not give an easy life to its riders as the bike was given the incorrect weight distribution which prevented it from freely unloading the power to the ground, the drivers frequently reporting that they found themselves in trouble because of it.
Aesthetically compared to the previous model, the C589 differs only for the long and thin additional slits at the end of the radiator vents and a slit behind and below the vents, while the Plexiglas on the front fairing is lower and less rounded.
The main reason for this was the lack of top-end speed the bike had compared to its competitors, incorrect weight distribution and poor power delivery.
Randy Mamola scored a decent haul of points but also frequently failed to finish, scoring 4 DNFs during the season, and did not start three races as well.
Wildcard rider Massimo Broccoli scored points twice and did not finish once, while the other replacement rider Raymond Roche failed to finish for his only outing for the team.
The C589 was the inspiration for the company to release a road-legal model with a similar design called the Cagiva Mito in 1990.

Bebe Zatoon was an Australian author and pioneer of South Australia who spent much of her life involved with the Afghan cameleers in Australia through her relationships with Ali Ackba Nuby and Karum Bux.
Stegar was born 15 November 1882 in Lambeth, London and she is the daughter of house-painter Wilfred Isaac Oaten and Lousia Dennis.
In 1891 father and daughter migrated to Australia and it is said that her mother, Louisa, walked off the ship before it sailed and never saw her daughter again.
Father and daughter settled in the Darling Downs in Queensland where they took up unprofitable land, that was infested with Prickly pears, and they experienced severe hardship.
After falling pregnant to Charles Stegar, an itinerant shearer, at 16 the couple married on 7 December 1899 at the St John's Church of England in Dalby, Queensland.
The couple had 4 children together before, after being threatened by her husband with a gun, she left him and their children and traveled to Western Queensland.
Stegar worked as a barmaid for 7 years before meeting Ali Ackba Nuby when they were both working at Mungallala, Stegar at the hotel and Nuby running a general store in another, disused, hotel.
Stegar called Nuby an 'Indian Hawker' and the two formed a romantic relationship and would go on to have 3 children together.
Throughout their time together the family lived a nomadic life and worked as camel-drivers in Central Australia, initially based in the South Australian towns of Marree and Oodnadatta.
In both towns Stegar and her family lived in the Ghan Towns, established outside of the main settlements for Afghan cameleers.
Stegar had a special place in the communities there as, pressed into unwilling service by Nuby, she assisted with the translation of consignment notes and bills of landing as many of the cameleers could not read English.
Around 1923 - 1924 Nuby died in a cholera outbreak in his home village when visiting India to help his family and, upon hearing the news, months after events and already struggling from the financial aspects of her husband's loss, Stegar was shocked to learn she had no claim to his estate as the two were never formally married.
Stegar tried to find full-time work, preferably live-in, but all that she could find was work as a washerwoman and, to reduce expenses, she moved into a hostel but with no form of pension or benefits available she struggled significantly.
Finding this situation untenable Stegar finally allowed the unofficial Mullah of the Oodnadatta Mosque, who had offered to find her a husband that day that Nuby died, to find her a husband.
Stegar married Karum Bux on 26 January 1925 at the mosque, a marriage that was never registered and that Stegar did not even attend the ceremony.
In 1927 the pair travelled to Mecca and, upon her return, she wrote a series of articles about the trip, under the pseudonym Bebe Zatoon.
These articles, entitled 'Arabian Days; the Wanderings of Winifred the Washerwoman', ran in The Observer from 8 December 1928 to 2 February 1929.
Stegar separated from Bux in November, 1928, ending their marriage of convenience, after receiving an invitation to become governess to the family of King Amanullah Khan, the royal family of Afghanistan.
However, by the time she arrived in India with her 3 children to Nuby, the king had been overthrown and she travelled with a medical team to the boarder and helped escort Queen Souriya back to Bombay.
Following these adventures Stegar returned to South Australia where she continued to write (works listed below); she was a self-proclaimed 'compulsive writer'.
During World War II Stegar ran a mess for miners in Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory where she kept goats to provide milk and meat.
In 1952 Stegar saw her eldest son, who she had not seen since 1909, who came to Alice Springs to tell her that Charles Stegar, who had always refused to divorce her, had died.
but quickly had to re-release it as a novel as it contained many inaccuracies, including claiming that she was born in China and raised in a convent.
She continued writing into her late 90s until, following a fall, her typewriter was taken away, and she died in the Adelaide suburb of Campbelltown on 16 March 1981.
She was just 9 months short of her 100th birthday which she had celebrated 3 years before, with much fanfare, including a message from Queen Elizabeth.
She was part of the Australian team at the 2017 World Aquatics Championships, 2017 FINA World League Intercontinental Cup, and 2019 FINA World League Intercontinental Cup.

Zygodactylidae is a family of extinct birds found in Europe and North America from the Eocene epoch to the Middle Miocene.
First named in 1971, based on fragmentary remains of two species from Germany, a more complete description of the birds became possible in 2008 when a number of other, better-preserved fossil species were assigned to the family based on a number of shared characteristics.
The name of the group comes from the presence of a zygodactyl foot, with two toes projecting forward, and two to the rear.
This is the same arrangement as seen in living parrots and woodpeckers, and the zygodactylids were at one time thought to be related to the woodpecker family.
Passerine birds are distinguished by an anisodactyl foot, but it is thought that their earliest ancestors may have been zygodactyl, likely using this arrangement of toes to cling to the bark of trees as woodpeckers do.
It was used as Spokane's city hall until 1982, when it was replaced with new offices in a former Montgomery Ward department store.

The metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-FET, or MOS FET), also known as the metal–oxide–silicon transistor (MOS transistor, or MOS), is a type of insulated-gate field-effect transistor (IGFET) that is fabricated by the controlled oxidation of a semiconductor, typically silicon.
The voltage of the covered gate determines the electrical conductivity of the device; this ability to change conductivity with the amount of applied voltage can be used for amplifying or switching electronic signals.
It is the basic building block of modern electronics, and the most frequently manufactured device in history, with an estimated total of 13sextillion (1.3 × 10) MOSFETs manufactured between 1960 and 2018.
It was the first truly compact transistor that could be miniaturised and mass-produced for a wide range of uses, revolutionizing the electronics industry and the world economy, having been central to the computer revolution, digital revolution, information revolution, silicon age and information age.
MOSFET scaling and miniaturization has been driving the rapid exponential growth of electronic semiconductor technology since the 1960s, and enable high-density integrated circuits (ICs) such as memory chips and microprocessors.
The MOSFET is by far the most widely used transistor in both digital circuits and analog circuits, and it is the backbone of modern electronics.
According to Jean-Pierre Colinge, numerous modern technologies would not exist without the MOSFET, such as the modern computer industry, digital telecommunication systems, video games, pocket calculators, and digital wristwatches, for example.
Discrete MOSFET devices are widely used in applications such as switch mode power supplies, variable-frequency drives and other power electronics applications where each device may be switching thousands of watts.
MOSFET devices are also applied in audio-frequency power amplifiers for public address systems, sound reinforcement and home and automobile sound systems.
MOSFETs in integrated circuits are the primary elements of computer processors, semiconductor memory, image sensors, and most other types of integrated circuits.
The MOSFET was invented by Egyptian engineer Mohamed M. Atalla and Korean engineer Dawon Kahng at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1959.
In the early 1960s, research programs on MOS technology were established by Fairchild Semiconductor, RCA Laboratories, General Microelectronics (led by former Fairchild engineer Frank Wanlass) and IBM.
GMe's first MOS contract was with NASA, which used MOSFETs for spacecraft and satellites in the Interplanetary Monitoring Platform (IMP) program and Explorers Program.
With its rapidly scaling miniaturisation, MOS technology became the focus of RCA, Fairchild, Intel and other semiconductor companies in the 1960s, fuelling the technological and economic growth of the early semiconductor industry based around California (including what later became known as Silicon Valley) as well as Japan.
This led to a revolution in the electronics industry, which has since impacted daily life in almost every way, with MOS technology leading to revolutionary changes in technology, economy, culture and thinking.
MOSFETs are capable of high scalability (Moore's law and Dennard scaling), with increasing miniaturization, and can be easily scaled down to smaller dimensions.
MOSFETs also have faster switching speed, with rapid on–off electronic switching that makes them ideal for generating pulse trains, the basis for digital signals.
The MOSFET has been called the most important transistor, the most important device in the electronics industry, the most important device in the computing industry, one of the most important developments in semiconductor technology, and possibly the most important invention in electronics.
The MOSFET has been the fundamental building block of modern digital electronics, during the digital revolution, information revolution, information age, and silicon age.
The rapid progress of the electronics industry during the late 20th to early 21st centuries was achieved by rapid MOSFET scaling (Dennard scaling and Moore's law), down to the level of nanoelectronics in the early 21st century.
Between 1960 and 2018, an estimated total of 13sextillion MOS transistors have been manufactured, accounting for at least 99.9% of all transistors.
Digital integrated circuits such as microprocessors and memory devices contain thousands to billions of integrated MOSFETs on each device, providing the basic switching functions required to implement logic gates and data storage.
There are also memory devices which contain at least a trillion MOS transistors, such as a 256GB microSD memory card, larger than the number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
As of 2010, the operating principles of modern MOSFETs have remained largely the same as the original MOSFET first demonstrated by Mohamed Atalla and Dawon Kahng in 1960.
The MOSFET was also the basis for Nobel Prize winning breakthroughs such as the quantum Hall effect and the charge-coupled device (CCD), yet there was never any Nobel Prize given for the MOSFET itself.
In 2018, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences which awards the science Nobel Prizes acknowledged that the invention of the MOSFET by Atalla and Kahng was one of the most important inventions in microelectronics and in information and communications technology (ICT).
The MOSFET is also included on the list of IEEE milestones in electronics, and its inventors Mohamed Atalla and Dawon Kahng entered the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2009.
The MOSFET is the most widely used type of transistor and the most critical device component in integrated circuit (IC) chips.
The monolithic integrated circuit chip was enabled by the surface passivation process, which electrically stabilized silicon surfaces via thermal oxidation, making it possible to fabricate monolithic integrated circuit chips using silicon.
This was the basis for the planar process, developed by Jean Hoerni at Fairchild Semiconductor in early 1959, which was critical to the invention of the monolithic integrated circuit chip by Robert Noyce later in 1959.
This was followed by the development of clean rooms to reduce contamination to levels never before thought necessary, and coincided with the development of photolithography which, along with surface passivation and the planar process, allowed circuits to be made in few steps.
Mohamed Atalla first proposed the concept of the MOS integrated circuit (MOS IC) chip in 1960, noting that the MOSFET's ease of fabrication made it useful for integrated circuits.
In contrast to bipolar transistors which required a number of steps for the p–n junction isolation of transistors on a chip, MOSFETs required no such steps but could be easily isolated from each other.
The Si–SiO system possessed the technical attractions of low cost of production (on a per circuit basis) and ease of integration.
These two factors, along with its rapidly scaling miniaturization and low energy consumption, led to the MOSFET becoming the most widely used type of transistor in IC chips.
The earliest experimental MOS IC to be demonstrated was a 16-transistor chip built by Fred Heiman and Steven Hofstein at RCA in 1962.
In 1967, Bell Labs researchers Robert Kerwin, Donald Klein and John Sarace developed the self-aligned gate (silicon-gate) MOS transistor, which Fairchild Semiconductor researchers Federico Faggin and Tom Klein used to develop the first silicon-gate MOS IC.
With its high scalability, and much lower power consumption and higher density than bipolar junction transistors, the MOSFET made it possible to build high-density IC chips.
MOS chips further increased in complexity at a rate predicted by Moore's law, leading to large-scale integration (LSI) with hundreds of MOSFETs on a chip by the late 1960s.
MOS technology enabled the integration of more than 10,000 transistors on a single LSI chip by the early 1970s, before later enabling very large-scale integration (VLSI).
The origins of both the microprocessor and the microcontroller can be traced back to the invention and development of MOS technology.
The application of MOS LSI chips to computing was the basis for the first microprocessors, as engineers began recognizing that a complete computer processor could be contained on a single MOS LSI chip.
The first multi-chip microprocessors, the Four-Phase Systems AL1 in 1969 and the Garrett AiResearch MP944 in 1970, were developed with multiple MOS LSI chips.
The first commercial single-chip microprocessor, the Intel 4004, was developed by Federico Faggin, using his silicon-gate MOS IC technology, with Intel engineers Marcian Hoff and Stan Mazor, and Busicom engineer Masatoshi Shima.
CMOS had lower power consumption, but was initially slower than NMOS, which was more widely used for computers in the 1970s.
In 1978, Hitachi introduced the twin-well CMOS process, which allowed CMOS to match the performance of NMOS with less power consumption.
By the 1970s1980s, CMOS logic consumed over 110/15 round 0times less power than NMOS logic, and about 100,000 times less power than bipolar transistor-transistor logic (TTL).
The growth of digital technologies like the microprocessor has provided the motivation to advance MOSFET technology faster than any other type of silicon-based transistor.
A big advantage of MOSFETs for digital switching is that the oxide layer between the gate and the channel prevents DC current from flowing through the gate, further reducing power consumption and giving a very large input impedance.
The insulating oxide between the gate and channel effectively isolates a MOSFET in one logic stage from earlier and later stages, which allows a single MOSFET output to drive a considerable number of MOSFET inputs.
The JFET and bipolar junction transistor (BJT) are preferred for accurate matching (of adjacent devices in integrated circuits), higher transconductance and certain temperature characteristics which simplify keeping performance predictable as circuit temperature varies.
Nevertheless, MOSFETs are widely used in many types of analog circuits because of their own advantages (zero gate current, high and adjustable output impedance and improved robustness vs. BJTs which can be permanently degraded by even lightly breaking down the emitter-base).
The characteristics and performance of many analog circuits can be scaled up or down by changing the sizes (length and width) of the MOSFETs used.
MOSFETs' ideal characteristics regarding gate current (zero) and drain-source offset voltage (zero) also make them nearly ideal switch elements, and also make switched capacitor analog circuits practical.
In their linear region, MOSFETs can be used as precision resistors, which can have a much higher controlled resistance than BJTs.
Also, MOSFETs can be configured to perform as capacitors and gyrator circuits which allow op-amps made from them to appear as inductors, thereby allowing all of the normal analog devices on a chip (except for diodes, which can be made smaller than a MOSFET anyway) to be built entirely out of MOSFETs.
This means that complete analog circuits can be made on a silicon chip in a much smaller space and with simpler fabrication techniques.
Some ICs combine analog and digital MOSFET circuitry on a single mixed-signal integrated circuit, making the needed board space even smaller.
This creates a need to isolate the analog circuits from the digital circuits on a chip level, leading to the use of isolation rings and silicon on insulator (SOI).
Since MOSFETs require more space to handle a given amount of power than a BJT, fabrication processes can incorporate BJTs and MOSFETs into a single device.
Mixed-transistor devices are called bi-FETs (bipolar FETs) if they contain just one BJT-FET and BiCMOS (bipolar-CMOS) if they contain complementary BJT-FETs.
As of 2008, the radio transceivers in all wireless networking devices and modern mobile phones are mass-produced as RF CMOS devices.
In this application, the drain and source of a MOSFET exchange places depending on the relative voltages of the source/drain electrodes.
All of these switches are limited on what signals they can pass or stop by their gate–source, gate–drain, and source–drain voltages; exceeding the voltage, current, or power limits will potentially damage the switch.
In the case of an n-type switch, the body is connected to the most negative supply (usually GND) and the gate is used as the switch control.
When the switch is conducting, it typically operates in the linear (or ohmic) mode of operation, since the source and drain voltages will typically be nearly equal.
In the case of a P-MOS, the body is connected to the most positive voltage, and the gate is brought to a lower potential to turn the switch on.
To turn the switch on, the gate of the P-MOS is driven to the low potential and the gate of the N-MOS is driven to the high potential.
Also, the P-MOS is typically two to three times wider than the N-MOS, so the switch will be balanced for speed in the two directions.
Tri-state circuitry sometimes incorporates a CMOS MOSFET switch on its output to provide for a low-ohmic, full-range output when on, and a high-ohmic, mid-level signal when off.
The advent of the MOSFET enabled the practical use of MOS transistors as memory cell storage elements, a function previously served by magnetic cores in computer memory.
The first modern computer memory was introduced in 1965, when John Schmidt at Fairchild Semiconductor designed the first MOS semiconductor memory, a 64-bit MOS SRAM (static random-access memory).
While examining the characteristics of MOS technology, he found it was capable of building capacitors, and that storing a charge or no charge on the MOS capacitor could represent the 1 and 0 of a bit, while the MOS transistor could control writing the charge to the capacitor.
In 1967, Dennard filed a patent under IBM for a single-transistor DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) memory cell, based on MOS technology.
MOS memory enabled higher performance, was cheaper, and consumed less power, than magnetic-core memory, leading to MOS memory overtaking magnetic core memory as the dominant computer memory technology by the early 1970s.
In 1967, Dawon Kahng and Simon Sze proposed that floating-gate memory cells, consisting of floating-gate MOSFETs (FGMOS), could be used to produce reprogrammable ROM (read-only memory).
Floating-gate memory cells later became the basis for non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies including EPROM, EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable ROM) and flash memory.
The earliest MOSFET sensors include the open-gate FET (OGFET) introduced by Johannessen in 1970, the ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) invented by Piet Bergveld in 1970, the adsorption FET (ADFET) patented by P.F.
The ISFET is a special type of MOSFET with a gate at a certain distance, and where the metal gate is replaced by an ion-sensitive membrane, electrolyte solution and reference electrode.
By the mid-1980s, numerous other MOSFET sensors had been developed, including the gas sensor FET (GASFET), surface accessible FET (SAFET), charge flow transistor (CFT), pressure sensor FET (PRESSFET), chemical field-effect transistor (ChemFET), reference ISFET (REFET), biosensor FET (BioFET), enzyme-modified FET (ENFET) and immunologically modified FET (IMFET).
By the early 2000s, BioFET types such as the DNA field-effect transistor (DNAFET), gene-modified FET (GenFET) and cell-potential BioFET (CPFET) had been developed.
The two main types of image sensors used in digital imaging technology are the charge-coupled device (CCD) and the active-pixel sensor (CMOS sensor).
Both CCD and CMOS sensors are based on MOS technology, with the CCD based on MOS capacitors and the CMOS sensor based on MOS transistors.
MOS technology is the basis for modern image sensors, including the charge-coupled device (CCD) and the CMOS active-pixel sensor (CMOS sensor), used in digital imaging and digital cameras.
While researching the MOS process, they realized that an electric charge was the analogy of the magnetic bubble and that it could be stored on a tiny MOS capacitor.
As it was fairly straighforward to fabricate a series of MOS capacitors in a row, they connected a suitable voltage to them so that the charge could be stepped along from one to the next.
The CMOS active-pixel sensor was later developed by Eric Fossum and his team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the early 1990s.
MOSFETs are also widely used in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), as silicon MOSFETs could interact and communicate with the surroundings and process things such as chemicals, motions and light.
An early example of a MEMS device is the resonant-gate transistor, an adaptation of the MOSFET, developed by Harvey C. Nathanson in 1965.
Advantages over bipolar junction transistors in power electronics include MOSFETs not requiring a continuous flow of drive current to remain in the ON state, offering higher switching speeds, lower switching power losses, lower on-resistances, and reduced susceptibility to thermal runaway.
The power MOSFET had an impact on power supplies, enabling higher operating frequencies, size and weight reduction, and increased volume production.
They are also widely used for MOS RF power amplifiers, which enabled the transition of mobile networks from analog to digital in the 1990s.
The LDMOS in particular is the most widely used power amplifier in mobile networks, such as 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G.
Power MOSFETs are commonly used in automotive electronics, particularly as switching devices in electronic control units, and as power converters in modern electric vehicles.
Their advantage is a better behaviour in the saturated region (corresponding to the linear region of a bipolar transistor) than the vertical MOSFETs.
Power MOSFETs, including DMOS, LDMOS and VMOS devices, are commonly used for a wide range of other applications, which include the following.
According to Colinge, numerous consumer electronics would not exist without the MOSFET, such as digital wristwatches, pocket calculators, and video games, for example.
One of the earliest influential consumer electronic products enabled by MOS LSI circuits was the electronic pocket calculator, as MOS LSI technology enabled large amounts of computational capability in small packages.
In 1967 the Texas Instruments Cal-Tech was the first prototype electronic handheld calculator, with three MOS LSI chips, and it was later released as the Canon Pocketronic in 1970.
The Sharp QT-8D desktop calculator was the first mass-produced LSI MOS calculator in 1969, and the Sharp EL-8 which used four MOS LSI chips was the first commercial electronic handheld calculator in 1970.
The first true electronic pocket calculator was the Busicom LE-120A HANDY LE, which used a single MOS LSI calculator-on-a-chip from Mostek, and was released in 1971.
MOSFETs are fundamental to information and communications technology (ICT), including modern computers, modern computing, telecommunications, the communications infrastructure, the Internet, digital telephony, wireless telecommunications, and mobile networks.
Advances in MOS technology has been the most important contributing factor in the rapid rise of network bandwidth in telecommunication networks, with bandwidth doubling every 18 months, from bits per second to terabits per second (Edholm's law).
The IGBT accounts for 27% of the power transistor market, second only to the power MOSFET (53%), and ahead of the RF amplifier (11%) and bipolar junction transistor (9%).
In quantum physics and quantum mechanics, the MOSFET is the basis for two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) and the quantum Hall effect.
In 1978, the Gakushuin University researchers Jun-ichi Wakabayashi and Shinji Kawaji observed the Hall effect in experiments carried out on the inversion layer of MOSFETs.
In 1980, Klaus von Klitzing, working at the high magnetic field laboratory in Grenoble with silicon-based MOSFET samples developed by Michael Pepper and Gerhard Dorda, made the unexpected discovery of the quantum Hall effect.
A quantum field-effect transistor (QFET) or quantum well field-effect transistor (QWFET) is a type of MOSFET that takes advantage of quantum tunneling to greatly increase the speed of transistor operation.
In the space industry, MOSFET devices were adopted by NASA for space research in 1964, for its Interplanetary Monitoring Platform (IMP) program and Explorers space exploration program.
Data gathered by IMP spacecraft and satellites were used to support the Apollo program, enabling the first manned Moon landing with the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
The Cassini–Huygens to Saturn in 1997 had spacecraft power distribution accomplished 192 solid-state power switch (SSPS) devices, which also functioned as circuit breakers in the event of an overload condition.

The General Secretariat for Scientific Policy Coordination (, SGCPC) is a component of the Spanish Department of Science, Innovation and Universities responsible for promoting the Spanish scientific research, as well as coordinating the different organizations and administrations that are part of it.
The general secretariat is headed by a Secretary-General, an undersecretary-rank official appointed by the Monarch with the advice of the Science Minister.
The origins of the general secretariat dates back to the beginning of the second term of the premiership of José María Aznar in May 2000.
Prior to this reform, between 1976 and 1986 the Directorate-General for Scientific Policy assumed the responsibilities of scientific coordination and promotion and between 1986 and 1995 this task corresponded to the Directorate-General for Scientific and Technical Research and, from that year until the 2000 reform, to the General Secretariat of the National Plan for Scientific Research and Technological Development.
After the 2004 general election, the new government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero merged the departments of Education and of Science and renamed the general secretariat as General Secretariat for Scientific and Technological Policy.
In 2008 it was re-created the Ministry of Science and in 2009 the general secretariat was abolished and its powers divided into several new organs.
In 2012, the Department of Science was abolished and its powers merged into the Ministry of Economy which recovered the general secretariat under the name of General Secretariat for Science, Technology and Innovation.
In 2015, the creation of the State Research Agency supposed a re-organization of powers and the general secretariat was renamed as General Secretariat for Science and Innovation.
In June 2018, the new government renamed the general secretariat as General Secretariat for Scientific Policy Coordination and it made it directly dependant on the Minister in order to boost the scientific research.
The was published by Cotta in Tübingen and later in Stuttgart, and was the most important German literary and cultural journal of its time.
The was founded by Johann Friedrich Cotta, who had in 1806 envisioned creating a South German equivalent of , a journal edited in Berlin by August von Kotzebue, but Cotta's letters to Goethe show that the idea of being regional was soon dropped, and the name (morning paper) was decided in late 1806.
The journal was not tied to any literary trends or programmes, but tried to cover the entire breadth of literary production.
The journal first appeared on 1 January 1807, shortly after being announced in the , in an edition of 1100 copies costing 8 Saxon thalers per year.
The circulation increased to 1810 copies by 1819, but the journal had many more readers via subscription libraries or other reading clubs, and its total readership has been estimated around 15,000.
Most famous authors of the era wrote or were featured in the , starting with Jean Paul, who opened the first issue with a eulogy referencing the possible future end of the journal.
The journal was published in Tübingen until 1820, in Stuttgart and Tübingen until 1855, when it was published in Stuttgart and Augsburg for a short time, and then in Stuttgart and Munich until the end.
When the long-term editor died in 1865, the journal was discontinued at the end of the year, with readers preferring other products like .
Recommended by Böttiger, Therese Huber became an editor in 1816, after publishing various contributions, many of them anonymously, as was very common in the .
Huber was the first woman supporting her family with a salaried editorial position at a journal and has been described as the first woman to hold an editorial position and even as the first journalist in Germany.
The journal had its most successful period under her editorship, with more than 1800 copies sold in 1820, and somewhat declined after she left, but this decline has also been attributed to problems with censorship related to the Carlsbad Decrees.
However, Cotta eventually decided to leave the offices in Stuttgart (possibly for reasons of censorship) and Huber's editorial duties came to an end.
From 1825, it was edited by Wolfgang Menzel who used his influence to advance national liberalism and to attack more liberal intellectuals.
Goethe, whose works were published by Cotta, was regularly featured and also contributed some content, for example an essay about a new edition of his works.
In 1842, the novella by Annette von Droste-Hülshoff was first published in instalments in the , with the title chosen by the editor Hermann Hauff.
Some of the journal's female authors include Fanny Lewald, Helmina von Chézy, who had been editor of the , Louise von Gall, and Fanny Tarnow, who often wrote anonymously or under pseudonyms.
Ottilie Assing wrote for the journal both before and after her emigration to the United States, and her interpretation in more than 130 reports was highly influential on the views of the German intellectual public on the problem of slavery in 1860s America.
With the list of authors also including Caroline Pichler, Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, Friederike Brun and others, almost all notable female writers of the time were featured in the journal.
It is located on the north side of Idaho State Highway 3, near its intersection with Willow Creek Road, about half way between the southern ends of Cave Lake and Medicine Lake.

The 1916 United States presidential election in Oregon took place on November 7, 1916 as part of the 1916 United States presidential election in which all contemporary forty-eight states participated.
As of 1916, the state had not elected a Democratic Congressman since 1878, and between 1900 and 1954 Democratic representation in the Oregon legislature would never exceed fifteen percent except during the above-mentioned 1930s interlude, so that Republican primaries would become the chief mode of competition.
In 1912, a split in the Republican Party and the relatively limited appeal of Theodore Roosevelt’s Progressive Party in what was at the time the most conservative of the Pacific States allowed Woodrow Wilson to become only the second Democratic Presidential candidate after Horatio Seymour in 1868 to carry Oregon.
For his 1916 re-election against a United GOP, Wilson campaigned on keeping the United States out of World War I, and upon Progressive Era reforms like the income tax.
These reforms were much less popular in Yankee-settled Western Oregon – which had close cultural and political ties to New England – with the result that Oregon voted for the Republican nominee, Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes of New York, over the Democratic nominee, incumbent President Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey.
Hughes won Oregon by a close margin of 2.57%; however, alongside South Dakota, Oregon was the only state that Hughes won in the Great Plains or westward.
Wilson’s historically based strength in sparsely populated and Ozark mountaineer-settled Eastern Oregon, like that of William Jennings Bryan in 1896, was inadequate to counter this.
Wilbur Frank Simlik (June 19, 1921 – February 12, 2014) was a highly decorated Major general in the United States Marine Corps.
A veteran of World War II, he distinguished himself as platoon leader of the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marines during the Iwo Jima campaign and received the Silver Star for bravery.
Simlik remained in the Marine Corps Reserve following the war, but was recalled to active duty during the Korean War and distinguished himself again as rifle company commander.
Following graduation from South High School in Youngstown in mid-1939, he enrolled at Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in June 1943.
While at the university, he enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve in December 1942 and completed five weeks of recruit training as a Private First Class at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, South Carolina.
He was subsequently ordered to the Marine Corps Schools Quantico, Virginia, where he completed Reserve Officers Candidate Course and was commissioned reserve Second lieutenant on October 6, 1943.
Simlik then served one year as Guard officer at Naval Ammunition Depot, Oahu, Hawaii, before joining the 25th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division under Major general Clifton B. Cates.
Simlik was attached to Company L, 3rd Battalion under Lieutenant colonel Justice M. Chambers and spent the following weeks in training.
The Fourth Division embarked for Iwo Jima, Bonin Islands during January 1945 with the goal of capturing the entire island, including the three Japanese-controlled airfields to provide a staging area for attacks on the Japanese main islands.
Simlik led his company during the two weeks of heavy fighting and when his commanding officer was wounded and evacuated on March 9th, he assumed command of the company and, during an attack south from Minami Village, led his company through devastating hostile fire to destroy a series of cave positions from which the Japanese had harassed the attacking elements.
He was recalled to active duty in January 1952 and ordered to the Amphibious School at Marine Corps Schools, Quantico, which he completed in June of that year.
Following his return to the United States at the end of July, Simlik remained on active service and was appointed Officer-in-Charge, Marine Corps Recruiting Station in Portland, Oregon.
While in this capacity, he was promoted to the rank of Major in December 1954 and held that command until August 1956, when he rejoined the 1st Marine Division at Camp Pendleton, California.
Simlik served as Executive officer of the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment for one year, before he was ordered for the Army Atomic Employment Course at Army Command and Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
Upon completion of the course, he served as 1st Marine Division's Assistant operations officer with additional duty as Atomic Weapons Employment officer under Major general David M. Shoup.
He left the headquarters of 1st Marine Division in August 1958 and was ordered to the Naval Postgraduate Management School in Monterey, California.
Simlik graduated in January 1959 and assumed duty as Special Projects officer, Analysis and Review Branch, Fiscal Division at Headquarters Marine Corps and was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant colonel in July 1960.
Simlik was ordered to Quantico in August 1962, where he attended Command and Staff College, graduating in August of the following year.
He subsequently remained there as an instructor in the Supporting Arms Branch for brief period, before sailing for Okinawa, Japan for duty with the 3rd Marine Division under Major general James M. Masters Sr.
He served as Divisional Assistant Operations and Training officer until August 1964, when he was ordered to Naples, Italy for duty as Commanding officer of Marine Barracks at Naval Supply Activity there.
Simlik was promoted to the rank of Colonel in January 1966 and ordered back to the United States in order to attend the Naval War College at Newport, Rhode Island in August of that year.
Simlik graduated in June of the following year and assumed duty again at Headquarters Marine Corps as Head, Enlisted Assignment Section, Assignment and Classification Branch, Personnel Department under Major general Herman Nickerson Jr.
Simlik was ordered to South Vietnam in June 1969 and assumed command of the 3rd Marine Regiment, part of 3rd Marine Division which was engaged in Operation Virginia Ridge near the Vietnam Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
The operation was focused on destroying two People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) regiments and Simlik assumed command on June 28, 1969, when the PAVN activity was winding down.
Operation Virginia Ridge concluded on July 16, 1969 and was followed by Operation Idaho Canyon during which Simlik directed search and destroy operations against PAVN units along the DMZ north of Fire Support Base Fuller and Khe Gio Bridge.
PAVN activity within the area of operations was light at the beginning, consisting of sporadic rocket attacks against Marine installations, sniper contacts, and attempts at interdicting Routes 9 and 561 with mines and other surprise firing devices.
Small groups of the PAVN 9th Regiment infiltrated the DMZ and moved south, but during the beginning of August 1969, the PAVN changed tactics and Simlik's Marines began facing well-equipped, well-trained units of battalion size.
Operation Idaho Canyon lasted until the end of September that year and Simlik's 3rd Marines counted 563 PAVN killed and 201 weapons captured.
In early June, President Richard Nixon had suggested that a decision on future withdrawals would be made in August or shortly thereafter.
Although there was an information embargo at the headquarters of 3rd Marine Division and commanding general William K. Jones did not want to inform his subordinate units about withdrawal, some information leaked to divisional regimental commanders including Simlik.
Now due to the withdrawal information, nobody wanted to be the last man killed in battle and the situation was worsened by journalists, who segregated some black Marines and asked them suggestive questions if they did more than your share.
This eventually planted seeds of discontent which erupted in violence in the rear areas, resulting in the murder of one Marine.
During the last week of September, the 3rd Marines were moved to Đông Hà Combat Base and then departed for the United States.
But his tour of duty in South Vietnam was not finished and he was subsequently ordered to Da Nang, where he joined the headquarters, III Marine Amphibious Force under lieutenant general Herman Nickerson Jr. as Assistant Chief of Staff for Logistics (G-4).
While in this capacity, he participated in the communication with the headquarters of Fleet Marine Force, Pacific under Lieutenant general Henry W. Buse Jr. and was responsible for the coordination of redeployment of Marine Corps units during the withdrawal to the United States and other Pacific bases.
Simlik remained in that capacity until the beginning of June 1970, when he was ordered back to the United States under rotation policy.
As general officer, his first assignment was Deputy Assistant Chief of Staff for Logistics at Headquarters Marine Corps under Major general Herman Poggemeyer Jr., serving in that capacity until August 1972.
He was co-responsible for the planning of budget for logistics for all marine forces and its advocacy before the congressional committee on appropriations until August 1972, when he was transferred to the Headquarters, Marine Corps Development and Education Command, Quantico and served under lieutenant general Robert P. Keller as Deputy for Education/Director of Education Center.
Following his promotion to Major general on May 7, 1974, he assumed duties as Fiscal Director of the Marine Corps at the Headquarters Marine Corps and served in this capacity until year and half.
Simlik was placed on the retired list on September 1, 1975, but was returned to active duty without interruption of service to continue as Fiscal Director until November 15, 1975.
He was awarded a gold star in lieu of a third award of the Legion of Merit upon termination of active service.
Following his retirement from the Marines, Simlik settled in Vista, California and was active in Boys & Girls Club of Vista, where he served on Boards of Directors for over 25 years.
He was also involved in the farmer growing, harvesting and selling macadamia nuts and was a member of the Macadamia Society.

The suspect's car was spotted by a license plate reader on the George Washington Bridge nearly two hours later, and the suspect was taken into custody without incident by New York City police.
The suspect was arraigned in a Rockland County court and pleaded not guilty to five counts of attempted murder and one count of first-degree burglary.
Rockland County, which includes the hamlet of Monsey, is noted for having the largest percentage of Jewish residents per capita of any U.S. county — a total of 31.4 percent (90,000).
The incident took place in the home of Rabbi Chaim Rottenberg, where almost 100 people had gathered to watch the rabbi light the candles and to celebrate a Hanukkah party, on the seventh night of Hanukkah, December 28, 2019.
Around 10 p.m., a man with his face covered by a scarf entered the house and immediately began stabbing bystanders with a large knife or machete.
The suspect then fled the house and attempted to enter the synagogue next door, Congregation Netzach Yisroel, also headed by Rottenberg, but the doors had been locked to prevent his entry.

One And Only (Japanese ワンアンドオンリー, foaled 23 February 2011) is a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for his win in the 2014 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby).
He showed great promise as a juvenile in 2013 when he won two of his six races including the Grade 3 Radio Nikkei Hai Nisai Stakes.
In the following year he ran second in the Yayoi Sho and fourth in the Satsuki Sho before taking the Tokyo Yushun and added another major success in autumn when he won the Kobe Shimbun Hai.
He finished third in the Dubai Sheema Classic on his first appearance as a four-year-old but was disappointing thereafter as he failed to win or place in nineteen subsequent races.
He was from the fourth crop of foals sired by Heart's Cry a horse whose wins included the Arima Kinen and the Dubai Sheema Classic.
One And Only's dam Virtue showed some racing ability, winning three times from 27 starts in Japan between 2004 and 2008.
She was a female-line descendant of the American broodmare Courtly Dee (foaled 1968), making her a relative of Arch, Green Desert and Bayern.
On his racecourse debut One And Only finished unplaced in a contest for previously unraced juveniles at Kokura Racecourse on 4 August and the finished second to Prokris in a maiden race over 1600 metres at Hanshin Racecourse a month later.
Racing over the same course and distance on 29 September he recorded his first success as he won a maiden from seventeen opponents.
He was then stepped up in class and finished second in the Listed Hagi Stakes at Kyoto Racecourse before running sixth to Isla Bonita in the Grade 3 Tokyo Sports Hai Nisai Stakes at Tokyo Racecourse on 16 November.
Christophe Lemaire took the ride when the colt started at odds of 12.7/1 for the Grade 3 Radio Nikkei Hai Nisai Stakes over 1200 metres at Hanshin on 21 December.
After racing in mid-division for most of the way he produced a strong late run to take the lead in the last 50 metres and won by one and a quarter lengths from Azuma Shuttle.
In the official Japanese rankings for 2013, One And Only was rated the fourth-best juvenile colt (level with Isla Bonita), behind Asia Express Shonan Achieve and Win Full Bloom.
He began his second season in the Yayoi Sho (a major trial race for the Satsuki Sho) over 2000 metres at Nakayama Racecourse on 9 March.
Starting at odds of 8.8/1 he raced in mid-division before producing a strong late run on the outside but failed by a nose to catch the favourite To The World.
He was last of the eighteen runners for most of the way before finishing strongly to come home fourth behind Isla Bonita, To The World and Win Full Bloom, beaten less than two lengths by the winner.
On 1 June One And Only was stepped up in distance for the 81st running of the Japanese Derby over 2400 metres at Tokyo and was made the 4.6/1 third favourite behind Isla Bonita and To The World.
The other thirteen runners included Red Reveur (Hanshin Juvenile Fillies), Hagino Hybrid (Kyoto Shimbun Hai) Meiner Frost (Mainichi Hai), Shonan Lagoon (Aoba Sho) and Tagano Grandpa (Falcon Stakes).
One An Only settled in fifth place before moving into contention early in the straight and got the better of a sustained struggle with Isla Bonita to win by three quarters of a length with a length and a half back to Meiner Frost in third place.
He was unable to make a good start in the previous race but he broke well today and I was able to race him in striking position.
After a break of almost four months One And Only returned to the track on 28 September for the Kobe Shimbun Hai (a trial race for the Kikuka Sho) over 2400 metres at Hanshin and started the odds-on favourite against fifteen opponents, the best fancied of whom were Satono Aladdin, Tosen Stardom (Kisaragi Sho), Win Full Bloom and Hagino Hybrid.
After racing towards the rear he moved up on the outside on the final turn, took the lead in the straight and rallied after being overtaken by Sounds of Earth to regain the advantage and win by a head, with Toho Jackal a further head away in third.
One And Only started favourite for the Kikuka Sho at Kyoto four weeks later but after racing on the outside for most of the way he was unable to make any progress in the straight and came home ninth behind Toho Jackal, beaten seven and a half lengths by the winner.
On his two remaining races of 2014 the colt was matched against top class older horses but made little impact as he ran seventh behind Epiphaneia in the Japan Cup on 30 November and thirteenth behind Gentildonna in the Arima Kinen on 28 December.
In the 2014 World's Best Racehorse Rankings, One And Only was given a rating of 119, making the 62nd best horse in the world.
In January 2015 One And Only finished second Isla Bonita in the poll to determine the JRA Award for Best Three-Year-Old Colt, receiving 109 votes to his rival's 170.
One And Only began his third campaign with a trip to the United Arab Emirates to contest the Dubai Sheema Classic over 2400 metres at Meydan Racecourse.
He produced one of his best performances as he took third place behind Dolniya and Flintshire with Designs On Rome, Just The Judge, Main Sequence and Harp Star running unplaced.
He failed to reproduce his best form in five other races that year, finishing unplaced in the Takarazuka Kinen, Kyoto Daishoten, Tenno Sho, Japan Cup and Arima Kinen.
The horse continued to race against top class opposition but never looked likely to win again, finishing unplaced in all six of his starts in 2016 and finishing no better than fifth in eight attempts in the following year.
After he was retired from racing at the end of 2017, One And Only began his career as a breeding stallion at the Arrow Stud in Hokkaido.
She was born in East Germany, but in 1986, three years before the changes that finally adumbrated an end to the one-party dictatorship, she managed to escape to the west.
After passing her Abitur (school leaving exams), which under most circumstances would have cleared the path to university-level education, she was enrolled on a traineeship in a hospital.
In 1986 she succeeded in smuggling herself into West Berlin, apparently taking an indirect route that included, during the most critical stage in the exercise, three hours in the boot of a car from the west.
This was followed by a lengthy stay in Sweden where one of the ways in which she supported herself was by undertaking translation work on programmes for radio stations.
She went on to study Germanistics and Philosophy at the US-backed Free University in the part of the city known before 1990 as West Berlin.
Then, in 1998, Askan moved to Germany's western media capital, Cologne, where she supports herself as a freelance author and Swedish language translator.
Set in Berlin, it deals with the lives in the German Democratic Republic of three different characters and the destruction of their three individual dreams.
She has also authored a number of radio pieces for Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg's Ohrenbär, a producer of radio programmes for children aged between four and eight.
This was also the first event under direction of David Castera, who replaced Etienne Lavigne when he stepped down from the role in March 2019 after 15 years in charge.
Spaniard Carlos Sainz won his third Dakar with a third different make, his first with the new Mini JCW X-Raid buggy.
In the motorcycle class, American Ricky Brabec became the first person from North America to win any class in the Dakar Rally.
Chilean rider Ignacio Casale won his third Dakar rally in the quad category after returning from his brief foray into the UTV class in 2019.
The rally was marred by the fatal accidents of Portuguese motorcyclist Paulo Gonçalves on stage 7 and Dutch motorcyclist Edwin Straver on stage 11.
and South American governments have degraded over the last few years for a variety of reasons, including the disqualification of Bolivian favourite Juan Carlos Salvatierra from the quad class in 2019.
The rally started from Jeddah, headed north along the Red Sea, passed through Red Sea Project towards ambitious city project Neom.
After the rest day the rally headed south to the Arabian Desert, across the dunes of the Empty Quarter, then south-east into the Eastern Province as far as Shubaytah, and then back north-west to finish in Qiddiya.
As the rally moved out of South America, the proportion of South American entrants had logically decreased, however it had still strong with 42 vehicle entries.
The roadbooks, which are now in color, on six stages were handed out 15 minutes prior to the start of the timed sector.
The aim was reduce competitive advantage of the big teams and to rebalance the parameters in favour of the less professional entries.
In order to eliminate cheating with technology only affordable by the largest teams, all unapproved competitor electronic devices needed to be locked in a sealed compartment during the race.
This year all UTV's were homogenized into a single FIA T3 category for lightweight buggies (< 900 kg) with an engine size less than 1,000 cc.
Fitted with restrictors, UTV's were sub-categorized into T3.S (production vehicles) limited to 120 km/h and T3.P (prototypes) limited to 130 km/h.

Filipe was to start the event as Boris Garafulic co-driver until Boris announced his withdrawal from 2020 rally due to political situation in Chile.
Stéphane Peterhansel was due to start with his wife Andrea as co-driver, however, pre-race medical tests revealed a health concern, and Andrea withdrew.
In addition to injuring his back, the rollcage of his vehicle was damaged enough to rule him out of starting the rally.
Artur Ardavichus could not resolve issues with his license in time and gave up his place in the team to fellow-Kazakh Denis Berezovskiy.

In 1980 Ivanytsia was drafted to armed forces as part of compulsory military service in the Soviet Union and served in the sports company in Lviv, but later returned to the club.
In 1982 he moved to FC Frunzenets Sumy and already in Sumy Ivanytsia enrolled in a local economic faculty of the Sumy Institute of National Economy.
In 1992 the head coach of Zakarpattia Yuriy Chyrkov invited him as an assistant back to the club and where until 2013 Ivanytsia stayed performing various coaching functions including the club's head coach.
During that time along with Yuriy Kalitvintsev and Viktor Ryashko led the club to promotions to the Ukrainian Premier League including the 2008–09 season during which Ivanytsia performed as the head coach.

Born on 3 July 1940 in Barcelona, Almerich studied piano at the Barcelona Conservatory before concentrating on the guitar under Renata Tarragó.
It was Tarragó who introduced her to Nova Cançó as the second guitar on Maria del Mar Bonet's first record in 1967.
When for political reasons, Llach had to perform outside of Spain, he always used his initial savings to have Almerich come and join him.

Walter Narchi (born September 2, 1929 in São Paulo, † June 23, 2004 in São Paulo) was a Brazilian marine biologist.
He mainly researched the anatomy of bivalvia and from 1960 to 2004 wrote over 60 papers, some with original descriptions of new species of this class.
His doctorate was supervised by the German scientist of Jewish ancestry Ernst Marcus (1893–1968), who emigrated to Brazil in 1936 with his wife Eveline du Bois-Reymond Marcus.
From January to December 1967, he conducted research at the Pacific Marine Station, Dillon Beach, Marin County, California, where he was assisted by Director Edmund H. Smith.
Back in Brazil, Narchi accepted Paulo Sawaya's invitation in 1968 to found and oversee the zoology department of the Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciencias e Letras de Rio Claro, today Universidade Estadual Paulista, while at the same time working as a researcher in the zoology department of the University of São Paulo.
In 1977, at the invitation of Brian Morton from the University of Hong Kong, Narchi took part in the First International Workshop on the Malacofauna of Hong Kong and South China in Hong Kong.
From 1977 to 1981 he was head of the zoological department of the Institute of Biosciences at the University of São Paulo.
He married his wife Estela Aparecida Narchi (born Pasqualini, born 1932 in Santa Ernestina, São Paulo), who also studied natural history at the University of São Paulo and taught biology as a high school teacher.
After field trips in the state of Bahia, Narchi recognized the need to create a marine national park in the Abrolhos region in 1969 and initiated this together with Aílton Brandão Joly and Eduardo Cyrino de Oliveira-Filho.
From 1981 to 1991, Narchi continued as president of the Sociedade Brasileira de Malacologia (SBM) (Brazilian Malacozoological Society) for environmental protection and for the promotion of malacology in Brazil.
Due to the restrictions of the customary gender segregation which was imposed upon the women of the harem, they could seldom leave the harem, and their contact with the outside world normally have to take place through an intermediary.
Because they generally could not have contact with men, it was difficult for them to conduct their business, as merchants and businesspeople were generally men.
Because muslim women were all subjected to gender segregation, albeit less strict for the working classes, the ideal intermediary were a non-muslim woman, who could pass freely in and out from the harem, as well as interact more freely with businessmen herself.
The often Jewish male merchants who sold clothing, jewels and luxury goods to the women of the imperal harem could not be admitted themselwes to the harem to show their products because they were men, so a custom developed in which their goods where displayed by their wives.
She could win the confidence of the women, and eventually be asked to perform other tasks as well for the harem women, such as acting as secretaries, handling their correspondance, acquiring medicines and performing medical treatmens, and perform various business tasks for them, acting as their economic agents.
This was particularly the case for educated Jewish elite women from Spain and Italy, who were literate and more educated than the harem women, who were often slaves.
It is unconfirmed whether kira was a formal position in the Ottoman court, or whether it was simply an informal phenomena.
After working in Australia for several years, he moved to the Morobe district of the Territory of New Guinea, working at Wau.
He joined the Public Service Association, becoming a representative of the Wau branch, and helped set up the Wau Timber Workers Union in the early 1960s.
Having been a member of the Australian Labor Party for many years, Bloomfield contested the Kaindi Open constituency in Papua New Guinea's first multi-racial general elections in 1964, making speeches in both English and Pidgin.
Without a strong support base, his strategy was to win on the preference votes, asking voters to put him as their second preference.
The strategy was successful as he was elected to the new House of Assembly after overtaking his closest rival on the eighth count.
Sentientist Politics: A Theory of Global Inter-Species Justice is a 2019 book by the English political theorist Alasdair Cochrane, published by Oxford University Press.
In the latter, Cochrane defended the interest-based rights approach, according to which some animals have rights on the basis of their strong interests, and these rights must be protected as a matter of justice.
Sentient animals, Cochrane argued, often have rights not to be made to suffer or to be killed, but the generally lack an interest in (and thus a right to) freedom.
It is this thought with which Cochrane begins the book, which is ultimately an attempt to explore what that would mean.
Thus, unlike Donaldson and Kymlicka, Cochrane places little importance on where an animal lives, human relationships to the animals, and state borders.
Though Cochrane sees cosmopolitanism and animal rights as natural bedfellows, few theorists of animal rights had considered obligations to animals across borders, and very few cosmopolitan theorists had considered what their approach means for human/animal relationships.
Ideas from the book were also presented at conferences and other events at the University of Birmingham, the University of Edinburgh, Newcastle University, the University of Leeds, the University of Cambridge, and the University of Fribourg prior to publication.
In the introduction, Cochrane outline the goals of the book and positions it as a contribution to the political turn in animal ethics that is novel for its cosmpolitanism.
On the other hand, it is distinct from existing cosmopolitan theory for its rejection of the moral import of species membership, and not just of borders.
Instead, he defends the claim that all sentient animals (human and otherwise) possess equal moral worth, defending the principle of the equal consideration of interests.
Cochrane nonetheless rejects the utilitarianism of Peter Singer, with which that principle is associated, for failing to recognise the ultimate value of individuals.
These political institutions can achieve what would be impossible for individuals; can provide security; and can determine what equal consideration means in practice.
Cochrane argues for a sentientist democracy, one with the participation of animal representatives, who can serve as trustees of political communities' nonhuman members.
Animals cannot be protected, it is argued, through legal means – even a Bill of Sentient Rights – alone; instead, determinate interpretations of human duties to animals, accountability of rulers to animals, and the self-determination of political communities call for the democratic inclusion of animals.
Drawing on ideas from green democratic theory, Cochrane argues that animal representatives could be selected by dedicated deliberative assemblies made up of humans selected by lottery.
The chapter is concluded with an explanation of how conflicting interests of many animals can come together into a single understanding of the public good.
The existing Westphalian system, he argues, will fail to adequately protect animals because of coordination problems, an inability to deal with transnational impacts of national policies, and the risk of partiality in favour of states' own members.
Cochrane instead turns to the all-affected interests principle as a means to determine who constitutes the people entitled to a say on particular matters.
However, even if the all-affected interests principle may seem to be what the equal consideration of interests demands, it naturally results in something like a world state.
Cochrane instead advocates cosmopolitan democracy, which draws boundaries to approximate who will be affected by fixing a series of overlapping political units, from the local to the transnational.
Cochrane closes the chapter by responding to three objections to cosmopolitan democracy: the fact that equal consideration under cosmopolitan democracy is imperfect; the challenge of determining boundaries; and that it is unfeasible.
Cochrane first addresses, and rejects, Donaldson and Kymlicka's positive arguments for wild-animal sovereignty, arguing that non-interference does not necessarily lead to wild animals flourishing, and that sovereignty is not required for animals' rights concerning their land to be protected.
First, he argues that cosmopolitan free movement will not allow humans to seize and destroy animals' spaces for their own purposes.
Third, he argues that duties of assistance owed to wild animals to alleviate their suffering do not require or even permit large-scale interventions in nature, such as restructuring ecosystems.
Cochrane argues that, though the constraints imposed on individuals by his sentientist cosmopolitan democracy may seem illiberal, the value and rights of animals (like the value and rights of humans) justify these constraints.
Similarly, he argues that constraints on the actions of groups, including ethnic groups, are justified to protect animals, challenging a range of arguments to the contrary.
He argues that existing and potential international law protects animals, while other sources of internationally recognised animal rights could be human-rights regimes.
Cochrane closes the chapter by noting that civil disobedience and other extra-legal forms of change agitation on behalf of animals may be justified, but that this must be judged on a case-by-case basis.
The book also calls for a restructuring of political activism, and Cochrane closes the book with a call to animal activists to pay more attention to political change, with the ultimate aim of transforming existing political systems.
She argued that, for Cochrane, the realisation of cosmopolitan values is not a precondition of animals' rights being respected; it is simply a theory he chose.
Not only, she says, are cosmopolitan institutions deeply unlikely to be achieved in even the long term, but cosmopolitan theorists are hostile or indifferent to animals.
On the other hand, she says, the liberal status quo can find some room for animals, and working within it can have practical benefits for animals.
I believe that liberalism provides us with enough tools to challenge speciesism, and I will continue to work with those tools until such a time as I am confident that they will be replaced with a different set of instruments.
In his response, Cochrane argued that there is room for both pragmatic and utopian approaches to political theory, and that the latter has value; that cosmopolitanism is not as utopian as it may first seem; and that all political principles (not just cosmopolitanism) are contested.
Adenitire challenged Cochrane's claims about animal interests in liberty and in not being property, and rejected the Kantian notion of autonomy that he endorses.
For him, this again rises from Cochrane's reluctance to see animals as having an interest in controlling their own lives, which leads him to reject Donaldson and Kymlicka's account of animal sovereignty.
Against Cochrane, Adenitire argues that wild animals can validly make claims to sovereignty, and thus that Cochrane's burdensome paternalism can be rejected.
This could mean that a liberal sentientist constitutionalist state should discourage domestication, making proposals about the just treatment of domesticated animals redundant in the long term.
It was the question of whether the international community should tolerate non-intervention, Johannsen argued, that distinguishes duties of justice from mere humanitarian duties on Cochrane's theory.
Politically he supported the Traditionalist cause, mostly as a Carlist and for some time as a Mellista; since 1933 he headed the party provincial organisation in Gipuzkoa.
He is known chiefly as one of key people behind the anti-Republican conspiracy in the vasco-navarrese area in the spring of 1936; thanks to his position of a businessman and army supplier, he procured arms and munitions for the rebels.
In 1937 he was for 5 months the provincial Gipuzkoan leader of the Francoist state party, Falange Española Tradicionalista, but was shortly ousted as a zealous Carlist, non-compliant with the official regime ideology.
The Basque family of Tellería was first noted in the Gipuzkoan county of Vergara in the 16th century and parish documents confirm their presence in the town of Antzuola since the early 18th century.
The first direct ancestor of Agustín which can be traced is his strictly paternal great-grandfather Silvestre Antonio Tellería Ugalde, married to Clara Ignacia Lascurain Argarate and living in Antzuola in the early 19th century.
None of the sources consulted provides any information on what they did for a living; the couple settled in their native town and had at least 9 children, born between 1833 and 1854.
Their third son and Agustín’s father, Jose Cipriano Telleria Oyarzabal (1849-1938), in 1877 married Micaela Ynurrita Gorosabel; the couple had 2 children, both daughters.
Following early death of his wife in 1882, one year later Telleria Oyarzabal re-married with Maria Esteban Mendizábal Elgarresta (died 1913), a girl from the nearby village of Urretxu and descendant to a family which already had been related to the Tellerías.
Tellería Oyarzabal owned one of 4 manufactures operational in the municipality and developed it into the most successful one, with branches in other Gipuzkoan locations; it produced belts, footwear, holsters, saddles and other leather goods, mostly for the army.
Agustín was born into considerable wealth; it is not clear whether apart from two half-sisters from the first marriage of his father he had any other siblings; sources do not mention any.
At unspecified time prior to 1913 Tellería wed Maria Legorburu from the nearby Gabiria (died after 1959); close to nothing is known about her family, except that it was of distinguished noble past and that the families had already intermarried.
The couple settled in Antzuola and had at least 10 children: Mercedes, Blanca, María Luisa, Vicente, Juan, José, José Joaquín, Agustín, Luis and Ignacio Tellería Legorburu.
Together with the entire family in 1905 he co-signed a homage message, directed to the Pope Pius X and protesting alleged masonic manipulations in France.
In the mid-1900s he engaged in the Carlist youth organisation and over time grew to president of the Tolosa branch of Juventud Carlista; it is not clear why he was not active in his native Vergara arm of the structures.
he entered the committee headed by the provincial jefé Tirso de Olazabal and entrusted with organizing a grand regional Traditionalist rally in Zumarraga.
Also in the early 1910s Tellería was noted in the press for various protests in defense of religion and aimed against perceived blasphemous initiatives and incidents.
In the late 1910s Tellería was not recorded either in Traditionalist or religious organizations, and studies on Carlism of the era do not mention his name.
At that time the movement was increasingly fragmented due to a conflict between the key theorist, Juan Vázquez de Mella, and the claimant Don Jaime.
Most of the Gipuzkoan party leaders tended to side with the former, who advocated a grand ultra-right alliance with dynastic threads played down; Tellería followed the same path.
When the crisis erupted during a showdown of early 1919, he joined the rebels – to be known as Mellistas – and broke away.
In late 1919 he agreed to represent the emerging new grouping in the race to the Cortes, and was officially reported as standing in the election campaign from the district of San Sebastián.
It is not clear whether he eventually withdrew or was defeated, as none of the press titles of the era provided details on the number of votes he could have gathered.
In the early 1920s the Mellistas tried to build their own organisation, but the process went on slowly with many defections along the way.
It seems that Tellería’s party activity ceased; if referred in the press in the mid- and late 1920s, it is only on social columns or in sporting sections, noted as sponsor of rowing teams.
Following the fall of Primo Tellería resumed political activity, from the onset oriented towards re-unification of Traditionalist factions: the Jaimistas, the Integristas, and the Mellistas.
The press reported his frenetic propaganda activity, at times also beyond Gipuzkoa and even beyond Vascongadas, though his paramilitary tasks were carried out in the shadow.
At one point in 1933 the unofficial co-ordinator of nationwide requeté structures, colonel José Varela, relieved Tellería of his duties in Navarre, where Ignacio Baleztena took over.
In the party hierarchy this was more than compensated when in October 1933 Tellería replaced Bernardo de Elió y Elió, marques de Hormazas, as the Carlist provincial jefé in Gipuzkoa.
Apart from the usual propaganda activities, in 1933 he stood in the province as a Traditionalist candidate for the Cortes; though his 27,614 votes made a decent showing, he failed to make it to the parliament.
In 1934-1935 he kept going with his usual duties, at times speaking to large crowds, and writing single pieces to Traditionalist periodicals.
In the national party executive, split between cautious followers of the former leader conde Rodezno and adamant supporters of the new jefé Fal Conde, he sided with the latter.
Following the electoral triumph of Popular Front in February 1936 the Carlists were already set towards a violent overthrow of the republican regime.
However, the party executive was divided over the strategy to be adopted: Fal and his followers were gearing up for a stand-alone, exclusive Carlist rising, while another group preferred to join the military when they decide to move.
Though he held some very vague preliminary talks with PNV on their participation in the plot, his key task was securing the military logistics.
As early as in March he engineered a hoax, which sent metalworking products ordered for a bogus Bilbao customer shipped to Belgium, while 17 cases with hundreds of pistols and rifles, produced in the same Eibar plant and destined for Belgium, were delivered to Bilbao.
As the Carlist plan envisioned that at one point volunteers disguised as Guardia Civil would take control of key ministry offices in Madrid, Tellería took care of getting the uniforms ready.
Also in early March and as official supplier of leather products for the army, he managed to get hundreds of benemerita uniforms, produced on his order in Zaragoza, to be delivered to a Carlist depot in Madrid.
The republican security services got wind of the plan and stepped in; it did not take them long to identify Tellería as the key man behind the scheme.
Following some shuttling between the arrests in Pamplona and Zaragoza, in late June Tellería was transferred to the Dirección General de Seguridad arrest in Madrid.
He survived the deadly fire of the prison of August 22-24 and then numerous repeated militia raids, usually ending with extraction of political prisoners and their ultimate execution.
He assumed a false identity, made friends with some CNT militiamen, started to pose as one of them and – according to his own account – has even penetrated into their offices.
In early November he managed to arrange a travel to Valencia to obtain a passport, which in turn would enable him to return to Vascongadas.
He took the train to Saint-Jean-de-Luz, where he saw the Carlist regent, and by mid-November he returned to Antzuola, since late September controlled by the Carlists.
In March 1937 the Republican court in Bilbao in course of formal proceedings declared Tellería guilty of rebellion and sentenced him to prison; the same ruling was applied to his son, one month earlier killed in action.
In course of one of key meetings in Burgos he questioned the legality of Consejo de la Tradición, a body formed by the Rodeznistas as part of their strategy to overpower Fal.
At this role he tried to ignore the Falangists, to pay due respect to the army and to advance Traditionalism as the political cause; when leading preparations to the first anniversary of Nationalist troops taking San Sebastián, he tried to format the gala as an exalted Carlist spectacle.
On March 20, 1939 he lost control over his car on a slippery, poorly maintained road in Betoño, near Vitoria; he survived the crash, but perished the following day in a hospital.
The funeral was attended by Rodezno, civil and military governors, president of the Alavese diputación and the mayor of San Sebastián.

Barbara Sutton Curtis was regularly featured on programs of American jazz festivals, including the 1977 Inverness Music Festival, the 1988 DuMaurier Downtown Jazz Festival in Toronto, the 1991 Mid America Jazz Festival in St. Louis, the Peninsula Jazz Party in Menlo Park, California, the Sacramento Traditional Jazz Festival, the Fats Waller Memorial Jazz Festival, and the Santa Rosa Dixieland Jazz Festival.
She acted as a go-between and provided luxury items, medicine and letters for the women of the harem, and became the favoured kira of Hafsa Sultan.
When Hafsa Sultan became mother of the sultan in 1520, she successfully asked her son to grant the descendants of Strongilah the right to freedom from any taxes and the right to own slaves, a permit that was renewed five times until 1867.
Strongilah is known to have had a room in the harem, because it is noted that the fire of the harem in 1541 caused her personal material losses.
Due to the fact that they were several kira's working in the Imperial Harem in parallel, and that they are seldom documented by name (the different kiras are normally referred to only as kira, kyra, or Kyra Jewess), it is difficult to identify individual kira's and separate them from each other.
In 1532, Hafsa Sultan sent a kira to act as a messenger to the Venetian ambassador Pietro Zen, and while the personal name of the kira is not mentioned, it was likely Strongilah.
She was possibly the same kira who cured an eye illness of an unidentified sultan's mother and was greatly awarded for this.
As she is mentioned to have a room in the harem in 1541, and Hafsa died in 1534, she appears to have continued her career in the career after the death of Hafsa Sultan.
The facility has its origins in the Dearnley Union Workhouse which was designed by George Woodhouse and Edward Potts and opened in November 1877.
It became the Dearnley Public Assistance Institution in 1930 and joined the National Health Service as Birch Hill Hospital in 1948.
The site was subsequently sold to Persimmon for residential use: the developers have retained the clock tower as part of the new development.
She married Gisulf II of Friuli, and became the mother of the sons Tasso, Kakko, Radoald and Grimoald, and the daughters Appa and Geila (or Gaila), married to the King of the Alemanni (uncertain) and the Prince of the Bavarians, probably Garibald II of Bavaria.
Gisulf II died on the battle field, and the Avars besieged the main capital Friuli, which was defended by Romilda, who had taken command as regent.
Romilda famously offered the Avarian king Cacan to surrender the city peacefully, if he accepted her peace offering by a marriage between them.
He reportedly spent one night with Romilda and raped her, after which he allowed her to be raped by his soldiers.
Romilda has been given av very bad reputation in history because Paul the Deacon, who in his chronicle from the following century claimed that she made the offer of marriage to Cacan out of personal attraction and betrayed her city out of sexual lust.
However, to make peace through proposal of a marriage alliance was in fact a common and accepted political peace method of the time.
Chiong previously served as mayor when he assumed the position after the death of his brother and then mayor Ferdinand Chiong.

It was founded in today's city of Massa Marittima and expanded to cover an area corresponding to the current upper Maremma.
It represented a commercial power of regional level, through its thriving mining district, thanks to the copper, alum and silver deposits of which its territory was rich.
The ancient city of Populonia mainly linked its economy to the processing of raw iron, transported by ship from the mines of the Island of Elba, since the Etruscan and Roman periods.
However, due to the increase in pirate raids and the concomitant development of mining activities in the hinterland, Populonia entered a period of heavy decline which led to a change in the territorial balance in the area.
The city of Massa benefited greatly from this centuries-old process and, from the 11th century, it witnessed the movement of the episcopal see within its walls.
Thanks to its strategic position it was in fact possible to control a large area of the Colline Metallifere rich in precious metals.
This fortunate feature allowed the development of the village at the foot of the castle of Monteregio, an elegant domain of the bishop, and in the area of the square where today the major city buildings and the Cathedral stand, dedicated to San Cerbone, ancient bishop of Populonia.
The advent of the thirteenth century opened a flourishing period for Massa Marittima, which saw its population grow rapidly, thanks to an improvement in living conditions, greater safety of the mines and increased wealth of the inhabitants.
On April 21, 1216, by the will of the bishop-prince Albert II, Massa Marittima swears allegiance to Pisa to enjoy his military protection.
This great economic rise, driven in particular by the resumption of mining activities, in conjunction with a progressive debt of the bishops, made possible the birth of the community of Massa, in the form of a city republic.
With prior agreement between Bishop Alberto II and the Massetani of 31 July 1225, drawn up by the imperial notary Rolando, the prince-bishop publicly renounced his government over the city in exchange for the payment of the debt of six thousand pounds of Pisan money that he had contracted with Sienese lenders.
On 1 November of the same year, the day of All Saints, while the Massetani in Montieri paid a thousand silver marks of Massa to Ranieri di Raullo and his companions from Siena to settle the debt of the bishop, the Vicedomino Sigerio of Orlandino Galleana was named first mayor of the Republic.
From 1241 the political balance of the city brought the Massetana Republic to a progressive approach to the Republic of Siena, sanctioned by an official alliance between the two.
Massa Marittima lived up to the agreements and in 1260 supported its friend Siena at the battle of Monteaperti, with a contingent of 100 soldiers.
The political clash between the Ghibellines and Massa's Guelphs led the Republic of Siena to erect itself as guarantor of the inner peace of the city, shaken by strong conflicts between the noble Pannocchieschi family and the municipality.
The Republic of Massa participated in the Guelph coalition formed by Florence and Siena to attack the city of Arezzo, guilty of having driven the Guelph exponents from its territory.
After attacking various minor castles and besieging Arezzo, the Sienese and Massa army, strong with 3,000 infantrymen and 400 cavalrymen, was defeated by the Aretine army at the Giostre del Toppo on 26 June 1288.
Massa, however, managed to avenge this defeat with the victory of Campaldino the following year, where the Guelph coalition defeated the Ghibelline army led by Arezzo.
In 1313 Republic of Massa supported the Republic of Siena in a military action in the Pisan territory up to Piombino to free the ally Lucca, which was then part of the Guelph league, from the siege led by Uguccione della Faggiola.
After various negotiations and disagreements with the Pannocchieschi for possession of that, the noble family decided to donate the country by renouncing their rights to it and the Republic of Massa took advantage of the situation and immediately occupied the village.
However, this upset the Sienese, who claimed to boast the right of ownership over it and sent their ambassadors to Maremma.
Given the refusal of Massa Marittima to the ally's requests, the league between the two cities was broken and the Republic of Siena declared that it wanted to take Gerfalco by force.
The Sienese army then arrived in Gerfalco, led by Captain Paolo di Guido Baglioni and besieged the castle, until on June 30, 1318 the Council of Massa decided to make the village so as to appease the two states and form a new league.
However, the enmity with the Sienese remained very strong in the citizens of Masseto, so much so that a popular uprising led by Niccoluccio Todini broke out in the city, who defenestrated and killed the Sienese podestà of Massa Niccoluccio Mignanelli.
In order not to start a war with Siena, the city senate decided to punish the leader of the revolt with exile.
The latter, attracted by the rich silver mines and their profits, occupied the Montieri district militarily by virtue of an imperial diploma of 1160 with which Frederick I, recognized the rights of that land to the city of the Maremma.
Massa, however, could not benefit from this conquest for a long time because already the following year she was forced to recognize half of the castle and the mines to the Republic of Siena, after receiving an ultimatum from the Sienese ambassadors who would otherwise have led to the war with the ally.
In 1330 Massa turned against Siena, the Sienese mayor was driven out and in his place the Florentine Lanzante Foraboschi was appointed.
The Sienese who at that time had greatly increased their strength in Maremma attacked the territories of the Republic of Massa taking Perolla, Gavorrano, Colonna and Monterotondo (probably corrupting the soldiers).
Given the heavy losses suffered in the initial phase of the conflict, the Sienese Niccolò Cerretani was appointed to Massa to try to sign a truce in the clashes.
On 12 December 1330 the troops of the Republic of Siena attempted a first assault on the Maremma city by corrupting some members of the Ghiozzi and Galluti families in order to make the enemy army penetrate the city through the doors of their buildings.
But discovered the treason, the Massetian army foiled the attack, defeating the Sienese troops in the current Via Valle Aspra and pushing them out of the city.
Seeing his own territory surrounded by the Sienese who have become hostile, Massa decided to seek help from the Republic of Pisa, placing himself under his protection.
On 3 June 1331 the league between the two cities was then sanctioned in an anti-Sienese function, welcoming the Pisan captain Dino della Rocca into the walls of Massa.
On 14 December 1332 in the plain of Giuncarico they clashed with the enemy troops, strong of 2000 infantrymen and 400 knights, led by the War Captain of the Republic of Siena Guidoriccio da Fogliano and Moscata Piccolomini.
The retreat of the Sienese troops must have seemed to the troops led by Dino della Rocca a real retreat, so much so that he launched himself eagerly against the enemy.
This decision made the Pisan-Massetano army lose compactness and made their troops more exposed to the counterattack of the Sienese army which had now taken up its position.
The Massetans were defeated by the battle, losing 200 soldiers, 6 military banners and Captain Dino della Rocca, who was taken prisoner together with 200 other soldiers.
The defeat of Giuncarico greatly damaged the Republic of Massa, which was forced to ask the enemy for a two-month truce for the great famine and shortage of goods that followed.
Despite the position of military superiority in which the Sienese army found itself after the field victory, which would have seen them favored in a possible direct attack on Massa, it was decided by the Siena government to accept the proposed truce.
Following new requests for help sent to Pisa, an army of 800 knights arrived in Maremma led by the exiled Florentine Ciupo Scolari, with the captains Roberto dalla Rocca, Piero delle Statere, Cellino dal Colle and Benedetto Maccaione dei Gualandi, in support of the cause Massetana.
In February 1333 he then took the via di Orgia, Stigliano and Torri; reaches Rosia and approached Siena putting all the castles, villages and houses encountered on his way to fire and then return to Massa.
The war captain of Siena, Guidoriccio da Fogliano, although he had superior forces, with an army made up of 800 knights and 7000 infantrymen, after the help from Arezzo and Perugia, decided to avoid the field battle, limiting himself to following the enemy.
This prudence of his was seen as excessive and for this reason his behavior was later suspected of intelligence with Pisa.
Florence therefore wanted to intervene to promote peace and put pressure on Pope John XXII to appoint his bishop as peacemaker above the parties.
On September 4, 1333, a peace treaty was signed in Florence, the result of a compromise between the parties: the troops of Pisa would have left the Massa territory free, Siena would have to return the lands occupied during the war and the Republic of Florence was appointed lordship to guard of the Republic of Massa for three years.
With the signing of the peace treaties, through the episcopal award of Florence, all citizens, fled or driven out during the war, were given the opportunity to return to their cities.
This point of the award gave the possibility of returning to their homes even to the exiles from Masseto who had proved to be pro-Sienese and who had been exiled for this fact.
Thus it was that the members of the Ghiozzi and Galluti families also returned to their city, returning to their own buildings and assets, which had been confiscated for treason, after the failed assault of the troops of Siena on 12 December 1330.
The pro-Sienese faction, led once again by Ghiozzi and Galluti, resumed contact with the enemy who at that time was engaged with their army in Maremma, for the definitive pacification of Grosseto after some anti-Sienese riots that occurred in the city.
With the complicity of the pro-Sienese faction, the Porta all'Arialla (the current Porta al Salnitro) was left openlate at night, so that enemy troops could enter at the appointed time.
So it was that on the morning of August 24, 1335 the army of the Republic of Siena, led by Captain Jacopo Gabrielli, secretly entered the city and together with the citizens who had organized the betrayal, they took all the defensive positions of the Old City surprising the citizens in their sleep.
The Todini, Beccucci and Butigni families, however, managed to escape the massacre and fortified themselves in the fortress of the New City, trying to resist the enemy assault, waiting for reinforcements from Pisa, which never came.
After more than a year of siege, the surrender was decided, signed regularly by the Masset ambassadors on October 5, 1336, ending the freedom of the Republic of Massa.
During the period of domination of the Republic of Siena, a last popular uprising was attempted in 1338 to drive the Sienese militias that occupied Massa from the city.
The revolt led by Francesco Luti and Messer Ciambellano managed at first to drive out the Sienese podestà Francesco Malavolti, but was subsequently quelled with the arrival from Siena of 500 soldiers led by Francesco Accarigi.
Following these events, the government of the Republic of Siena decided to build the Sienese Cassero and a new section of walls that would separate Massa between Città Nuova and Città Vecchia in two, in order to prevent any new attempt to revolt in Siena.
The Republic of Massa was governed by seven elders and the Gonfaloniere di Giustizia, assisted by nine gentlemen who formed the government, and who took turns every fifteen days to define the priors, two effective and one alternate.
A podestà, or Captain, with Vicar or Judge Assessor, a Judge of Appeals and a Major Council appointed by the nine lords every December 18, and composed of 90 councilors, with a minimum age of 25 years, including 30 for each quarter of the city.
Every 200 citizens of each third party, between 20 and 50 years of age, constituted a People's Society or Militias, and for every need, they had the burden of rushing to the public square, where they had the obligation to gather all citizens to place themselves at their orders in defense of the Republic.
In a period of strong political opposition between the Emperor and the Pope, Massa found himself almost always taking positions close to the republics of Pisa and Siena, the two neighboring powers.
This characteristic, obviously dictated by the disparity of organizational and military forces against Massa, led the Republic of Massa to be of the Ghibelline faction until 1280 and subsequently Guelph.
However, such behavior was held only for reasons of foreign policy of proximity to Siena: the majority of the citizens of Massa were in fact part of the Guelphs.
Such a situation led to a growing internal rivalry with the greater Massa noble family of the Pannocchieschi, part of the Ghibellines, who forcefully meddled in city affairs, siding against the city that hosted them, until Massa banned them and confiscated their assets.
The Pannocchieschi, who were strongly supported in Siena, placed themselves under the Sienese tutelage allowing a strong intrusion of the Tuscan city in the Massa affairs.
In 1263, to avenge the banished Pannocchieschi, Siena intervened energetically and forced Massa to exile those of its citizens who were enemies of the Ghibelline family and with the Sienese-Massetan league of 1276 they were able to return to Massa.
Although the foreign policy pursued by Massa has been a good neighborhood for a long time, both with Pisa and with the Republic of Siena, rivalries with the municipality of Volterra were frequent.
In 1250 the enmities intensified to such an extent that Volterra declared war on the Republic of Massa, which called Siena for help, who intervened to avoid the conflict and pacify the two Tuscan cities.
Despite the Sienese interposition, the rivalry with Volterra remained very strong, so much so that a second peace was signed on October 16, 1270.
In 1318 there were conflicts with Pisa and the noble Appiani for the control of the castles of Valle and Montioni Vecchio, which resolved with political compromises between the parties with the payment of an annual tribute to the Bishop of Massa.
During the thirteenth century the need arose to create an official text in order to collect the customs and information that had accumulated over centuries of mining.
This citizen will led to the drafting of the Massetian Mining Code, of such importance for the legislation of the local economy to be included in the municipal statute of Massa Marittima of 1311-1325.
The Code represents one of the oldest mining legislation documents in Europe, having been drawn up before 1294, younger only than that of Trento (1227), Hierges and Iglau (1249).
The extractive legislation of Massa represented the model of inspiration for similar documents of the other Tuscan powers, such as the 14th century Sienese Code and the Pisan code of 1302 relating to the Sardinian mines of Iglesias and the iron mines of the Island of Elba.
The meticulous organization had to guarantee the Massa's mines a rational production, without interruptions of the workings and with a high quality of the extracted metals.
In order to be able to bear the heavy expenses necessary for the metal production activity, mining companies were set up, in which entrepreneurs and miners participated for share capital.
In the event that a citizen had discovered a new mineral deposit, it would have been his right to be able to derive profits from its exploitation.
To enjoy this right, it was mandatory to report the deposit with a particular cross-shaped sign, to be placed where the excavations would begin (within a maximum of three days).
Although the Mining Code recognized anyone the right to open a mine (at a minimum distance of 20 meters from the pre-existing ones), it obliged the discoverer not to suspend the works for more than a month and three days, under penalty of losing all rights on the deposit discovered.
Following the great commercial growth that involved Massa in the thirteenth century, it was decided to beat its own currency as it had already been done for some time in the other Tuscan republics.
On 11 April 1317, in the town hall, a contract was drawn up between some members of the Benzi family, rich Sienese merchants of the Wool Guild, represented by Niccolino di Giacomino and the Municipality of Massa, represented by the mayor Muccio of the late Buonaventura Scussetti, to start a company whose purpose is to beat money.
The Benzi undertook to provide the necessary equipment for the opening of the Mint of Massa while the Municipality of Massa undertook to purchase a building to be made available to the nascent Mint.
The contract shows that for the fees relating to typing, for the weight characteristics and for the title of the massane coins, those in force in the Sienese mint were taken, for example.
It was established that the citizens of Masseto who had owned silver mines, would have to bring their metal to the nascent municipal mint to obtain the equivalent in money, from which a small percentage was used to sustain the costs of the mint.
The profit generated by this mechanism would go in part to the zecchiere and in part to the municipality of Massa.
The mint of the Republic of Massa was located in the Mint Palace (in the current via Norma Parenti) and was certainly active for a year, until May 1318.
The mint was opened by the authority of the Municipality with the aim of minting three types of coins: the large twenty-denier silver, the six-denier silver gross and the small mixture.
Currently, two variants of the big money are known, three variants of the Small money and no gross, which was also absent in the monetary circulation of the time.
It was probably decided not to coin it for the lack of luck that the coinage of this type of coin had had in other cities.
To avoid possible differences with the Sienese ally, it was decided to use weight and alloy equivalent to the coins produced in Siena, so as to allow their normal use in transactions with neighboring nations.
In fact, from 1252, the year of minting the Golden Florin, the gold coinage replaced the silver one, establishing itself in the great international and national transactions, effectively limiting the silver coins (mineral of which the territory of Massa was rich) to payment of smaller amounts.
The coins of Massa that we have witness to today are: the Grosso agontano massano of 20 denarii and the small Denaro.

George Loveless (2 February 1797 - 26 December 1874) was a British Methodist preacher and a leader of a group of six agricultural workers who became known as the Tolpuddle Martyrs.
In the early 1830's he represented agricultural labourers from Dorchester in discussions with farmers, who agreed to raise wages to ten shillings a week.
However in Tolpuddle, farmers only agreed to pay nine shillings, and later reduced wages to seven shillings and threatened a further cut to six shillings.
Although trade unionism was not illegal, Loveless and his five co-leaders were found guilty of administering unlawful oaths, a felony under an Act of 1797.
Loveless and his co-defendants (his brother James, their brother-in-law Thomas Standfield, their nephew Thomas Standfield, James Hammett and James Brine) were found guilty at Dorchester Assizes in March 1834, and sentenced to transportation for seven years to the Australian colonies.
On 25 May 1833 Loveless was taken to Portsmouth and set sail for Van Dieman's Land, arriving on 4 September 1833.
On hearing the news, Loveless refused immediate free passage back to Britain as he has some months previously written to his wife requesting that she join him.
Once he had confirmation that she was not travelling to him, he departed on 30 January 1837 to Britain and arrive in London in June.
Loveless died on 6 March 1874 at his farm in Siloam, Ontario, and was survived by his wife Elizabeth and five children.
Lund was born on 21 April 1855 in Odense, the son of master shoemaker Niels Martin Lund (1819-72) og Abelone Aagaard (1824-90).

The catchment of the reservoir is 9.71 km² large, with a perimeter of 14.24 km and a length of 4960 metres.
Part of the water that could be used for irrigation is lost through seepage; the positive side-effect is that this contributes to groundwater recharge.
The earthen dam that holds the reservoir was built by the Tigray Bureau of Agriculture and Natural Resources, for purpose of livestock watering and human water consumption.
In 2002, the life expectancy of the reservoir (the duration before it is filled with sediment) was estimated at 21 years.
The catchment of the reservoir is 17.16 km² large, with a perimeter of 20.38 km and a length of 4910 metres.
Part of the water that could be used for irrigation is lost through seepage; the positive side-effect is that this contributes to groundwater recharge.

He began his professional racing career in 1972 and began competing in the AMA motocross national championships on a privateer CZ.
His performance earned him a place on the Maico factory team for the 1974 season in which he ended the year ranked third in the AMA 500cc motocross national championship behind Jimmy Weinert and Tony DiStefano.
He improved on his performance in 1975 when he rode his Maico to a career-best second place finish behind Weinert in the final standings of the AMA 500cc motocross national championship.
Stackable was hired by the Suzuki factory motocross team in 1976 in which he finished third in both the 250cc and 500cc Outdoor National classes.
In the 1977 season, Stackable would place third once again in the AMA 500cc motocross national championship, this time behind Bob Hannah and Marty Smith.
Stackable along with DiStefano, Kent Howerton and Gary Semics, represented the United States at the 1977 Motocross des Nations and Trophy des Nations events where they scored impressive second-place finishes in France and Holland, at a time when American motocross racers were still seen as less experienced than their European rivals.
He continued to race until 1981, but without the same level of success and retired from motocross racing at the age of 27.
Interloper are individuals or businesses who breach the monopoly of established guild, livery company or other body granted monopoly trading rights.
The term was used for English merchants who breached the monopoly held by the English East India Company (EIC) over trade between England and the East Indies.
This monopoly forbade English merchants or vessels to trade anywhere from the Cape of Good Hope to Cape Horn without a license from the EIC.
The Madagascar slave trade was part of the Atlantic slave trade, however as it entailed sailing to the east of the Cape of Good Hope, merchants engaging in this trade were generally interlopers.
However the Royal Africa Company (RAC), founded 1660, held a monopoly on trade between England and the west coast of Africa.
They were concerned that the interlopers were trading enslaved Malagasy people, whom they had bought at a cost of 10 shillings, compared to the cost of about £3-4 encountered by the RAC per enslaved African on the West coast of Africa.
In the English colonies in the Americas, the instructions to governors only obliged them to enforce parliamentary legislation and Royal proclamations, whereas the monopolies were only laid out in Royal Charters.
However in the 1690s a number of pirates had settled in Île Sainte-Marie, an island off the east coast of Madagascar.
Such interlopers as the New York merchant, Frederick Philipse and Stephen Delancey, began trading with the pirates selling them such goods as food, drink, guns and ammunition as well as catechisms and bibles.
Frederick's son Adolphus Philipse also participated in this trade, and they were all protected by Benjamin Fletcher, colonial governor of New York.
It was released in the UK in 1995 by Transatlantic Records and later received a release in the US in 1998 via Red House Records.

In Medieval Europe, slavery was gradually replaced by serfdom, but a small minority of female slaves long remained common as household servants in wealthy homes.
This created a slave trade in which slaves from the Muslim world was sold to Christian Europe, and slaves from Europe was sold to the Muslim Middle East.
While it was legal for an ancillae to marry, she as well as her children were still slaves, and because this created legal confusion between the legal guardianship of a husband towards his wife and children, it was not well seen for an ancilla to marry, which kept the slave market going.
Most of the ancillae came from the Greek Ortodox Balkans: while Christians, they were not recognized as such by the Catholic church, hense taking them as slaves were considered legal.
The International Economic History Association (IEHA) is an association of national, regional, and international organizations dedicated to the field of economic history, broadly defined.
Headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands, the IEHA promotes the study of and facilitates collaboration on a variety of projects, publications, and initiatives.
While the IEHA has origins in European historiographies (especially those of France and the United Kingdom), it has since expanded its scope and membership to include economies and scholars outside of traditional areas of research.
The IEHA is most well known for its triannual congress, the World Economic History Congress, an international and interdisciplinary event where over 1,000 economic historians convene each meeting to discuss trends in the field.
At the height of the Cold War in 1960, the IEHA was founded to unite scholars in Western Europe, the United States, and the Soviet Union.
Among economists there were concerns of spurring and sustaining economic growth in many economic history departments in the United Kingdom and the United States.
At the same time, the founding of the IEHA originally stemmed from the work of Fernand Braudel and Immanuel Wallerstein on economic growth in early modern Europe.
European scholars at the conference were more interested in the North-South divide, thus facilitating the developing of African economic history as a whole.
Academics have noted that the hosting of the Congress in Stellenbosch positioned the country to become one of the leading cenrtres of economic history on the African continent.
The opening address, delivered by Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan, recognized the economic and political potential that the conference had for the South African economy.
In 2018, President Anne McCants spoke of the importance of understanding globalization: its origins, its effects on inequality, and the importance of big data.
The Executive Committee oversees the execution of decisions made by the General Assembly, and the Local Organizing Committees are responsible for running the World Economic History Congress.
Every four years (and every three years since 2006), the IEHA hosts a World Economic History Congress (WEHC) on a particular topic in economic history.
The fifth meeting was held in Leningrad, Russia and, by the eighth meeting in Budapest, Hungary, the name was changed to the International Economic History Congress.

The Greenmarket Square refugee sit-in is an ongoing sit-in protest by a group of refugees for the purpose of getting relocated to a country outside of South Africa in response to xenophobia in the country.
The sit-in started when around 250 protestors encamped outside the Cape Town offices of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) on the 8 October 2019, a month after the xenophobic motivated 2019 Johannesburg riots took place.
The protestors demanded that UNHCR assist them with being relocated to a third country outside of South Africa and other than their country of origin.
The protest grew to include about 624 protestors, including 65 undocumented refugees, according to a lawyer for the South African Department of Home Affairs.
Initially starting at the UNHCR offices at the Waldorf Archade on the east side of Greenmarket Square the sit-in moved to the Central Methodist Mission church on the square's west side after protesters were evicted on the 30th October 2019.
By the 25 November around fifty of the protestors had accepted offers to be resettled in other parts of South Africa.
The protestors again rejected a 27 January 2020 offer by the City of Cape Town to be resettled in Cape Town stating that they did not want to be sent back to the communities that they were trying to escape from.
In December 2019 the City of Cape Town sort a court order granting them powers to arrest protestors for violating municipal by-laws.
The court found that the city had to ensure that the human rights of protestors be protected before any penalties for infringing by-laws could be implemented.
Concerns were raised about acts of violence between factions of protestors, sanitary conditions, as well as fire safety and overcrowding inside the Central Methodist Church.
UNHCR stated that their demands to be moved on mass to a third country were impossible as UNHCR can only process resettlement on a strict individual basis established by receiving countries.
Following the October eviction from the Waldorf Archade one of the sit-in leaders was accused of violently assaulting a group of religious leaders, including Anglican Archbishop Thabo Makgoba, during a meeting at the Central Methodist Mission.
By late December 2019 the protestors had split into two hostile groups with one side lead by Jean-Pierre Balous and another by Papy Sukami.
Sukami, was accused by two Congolese journalists of assault and robbery; Sukami denied the accusation but was arrested on charges relating to the event in early January 2020 following the arrest of Balous.

The KTM 125 FRR (also known as the KTM RC 125) was a racing motorcycle made by KTM, which was used in the 125cc class of Grand Prix motorcycle racing from 2003 until 2011.
When the bike originally debuted in 2003, it was equipped with a single-cylinder 2-stroke engine as per class regulations at the time.
Previous year's world championship Arnaud Vincent was brought on board to drive for the team, but he was replaced only after nine races by the Finn Mika Kallio instead.
The reason for this change was that the Frenchman was unrealistic about what could be achieved that year - although he rarely voiced such criticism in public.
In February of 2003, it was announced that Locatelli and KTM would not attend the IRTA tests in Jerez due to delays in the production of their 125 FRR machine During the tests in April of 2003, the KTM team said it 'needed more time' to improve their form and pace.
The team frequently struggled during the season, but the high point came late in the season when Kallio scored its first podium in the form of second place at the 2003 Malaysian Grand Prix.
He scored a third place for the team at the opening round in South Africa, improving this result at the Italian GP when he narrowly lost out on victory to Roberto Locatelli.
By round 6 in the Netherlands, Stoner had scored KTM's first ever pole position on Saturday yet another podium on Sunday, this time in the form of third place.
The best result of the year came at the 2004 Malaysian Grand Prix when he won the race, narrowly beating out eventual champion Andrea Dovizioso by only 0.029 seconds.
He then scored his final podium of the year at the penultimate round in Australia, finishing third in front of his home crowd.
Mika Kallio was less consistent, but still managed to score a second place podium - his only of the year - being narrowly beaten by Héctor Barberá at the Portuguese round.
The team scored 204 points, seven podiums - one of which was a victory - and finished third in the constructors championship.
As the team announced that they were going to build a 250cc machine for 2005, Casey Stoner announced he left the team to move up to the 250cc class himself.
The new line-up for this year was expanded from two to three riders and consisted of the Hungarian Gábor Talmácsi and the Spaniard Julián Simón, Mika Kallio staying with the team for the third consecutive year.
Despite none of the drivers winning any world championships, they scored a lot of points and Mika Kallio became vice-world champion, behind Thomas Lüthi, by just five points.
Kallio started the season off well by scoring a second place podium for the team at the season opener in Spain.
At the next race in Portugal, he took the first KTM pole of the year on Saturday and won the race on Sunday by narrowly beating Héctor Faubel by just 0.008 seconds.
He repeated the feat in China but it was teammate Gábor Talmácsi who impressed this time, finishing third where Kallio only finished eleventh.
Kallio took fastest lap and third place at the French round, and took five consecutives pole positions from Italy to Germany.
However, Kallio retired in two of these races (Italy and the Netherlands, Talmácsi winning both of them instead, and Kallio only managing third at the Catalan GP.
He finished second in the Czech Republic, won again in Japan and finished second twice in Malaysia and Qatar, scoring another pole in the process on Saturday.
Talmácsi's form was not as good after the summer break, but he bounced back by winning the race in Qatar and finishing second at the final race in Valencia, Kallio winning it but just missing out on the drivers title.
Overall, the team scored 332 points and became constructors champions for the first time in the 125cc and scored 16 podiums, 8 of which were victories.
After an exceptionally good year in 2005, fortunes would be less good for the KTM team in 2006, despite still winning races.
Gábor Talmácsi left the team and the driver line-up consisted of Mika Kallio and Julián Simón, who both stayed with the team.
Kallio scored the first podium of the season for the team in Qatar and won the Chinese race - beating Mattia Pasini by just 0.097 seconds - after scoring his first podium on Saturday.
In the Netherlands, he won the second race of the season, beating the Spaniard Sergio Gadea to the line by 0.122 seconds, also taking the second pole of the season on Saturday.
In the Czech Republic, Malaysia and Australia he finished second after taking pole on Saturday in Brno and Phillip Island, in Japan he narrowly won ahead of Álvaro Bautista with KTM teammate Julián Simón finishing on the podium for the first and only time of the season, in Portugal he finished third and at the final race in Valencia.
The team scored 267 points, twelve podiums - three of which were victories - and finished second in the constructors championship.
For 2007, KTM decided to reduce its direct commitment to grand prix racing, which took place through the main team supported by a Junior team, preferring to dedicate itself to organizing a single-brand training event called the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup.
Koyama scored his first ever third place podium in Turkey, a feat he bettered when he won KTM's first and only race of the season in Catalunya - narrowly defeating Gábor Talmácsi by just 0.049 seconds.
He scored a third place podium in San Marino and took his final podium of the season at the penultimate round in Malaysia, finishing third in the championship overall.
The team scored 196 points, seven podiums - one of which was a victory - and finished third in the constructors championship.
At the end of the 2008 world championship, KERS was installed, making the team the first to use such a solution in grand prix motorcycle racing.
This year marked the last one as an official Factory entry, as KTM had decided to withdraw its efforts at the end of the 2009 season.
KTM was still struggeling this year, its only high point being the third place podium Márquez grabbed at round 3 in Spain.
Even though the Factory KTM team left the 125cc class in 2009, the bikes continued to be used by one privateer team - the Freudenberg Racing Team - in 2010.
Its wildcard riders however, failed to score any podiums, only scored 6 points and KTM finished fourth in the constructors championship.
It was used by two teams, the Caretta Technology and Freudenberg Racing Team, but none of the riders managed to score any podiums, together managed 29 points and finished fourth in the constructors championship.

On 29 December 2019, the United States conducted airstrikes against Kata'ib Hezbollah's weapons depots and command centers in Iraq and Syria, reportedly killing at least 25 militiamen and wounding 55 more.
The U.S. Department of Defense said the operation was in retaliation for repeated attacks on Iraqi military bases hosting Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR) coalition forces, particularly the 27 December 2019 attack on a Kirkuk airbase that left an American civilian contractor dead.
The unilateral U.S. airstrikes were condemned by the Iraqi government, Iraqi Armed Forces personnel, and Iran, and culminated in the U.S. embassy in Baghdad being attacked by Iraqi militiamen and their supporters on 31 December 2019.
This in turn led to a U.S. airstrike near Baghdad International Airport on 3 January 2020, killing Iranian general Qasem Soleimani and Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.
The United States intervened in Iraq in 2014 as a part of Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR), the U.S.-led mission to degrade and combat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant terror organization, and have been training and operating alongside Iraqi forces as a part of the anti-ISIL coalition.
ISIL was largely beaten back from Iraq in 2017 during the Iraqi Civil War, with the help of U.S.-backed forces and Sunni and Shia militias.
Iran is known to support Shia Iraqi militias, a number of which are relatively hostile to the U.S. presence in Iraq and the Sunni-led Iraqi government.
Tensions rose between Iran and the U.S. in 2018 when U.S. President Donald Trump unilaterally pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions.
On 27 December 2019, the K-1 Air Base in Kirkuk province, Iraq—one of many Iraqi military bases that host Operation Inherent Resolve coalition personnel—was attacked by more than 30 rockets, killing a U.S. civilian contractor and injuring four U.S. service members and two Iraqi security forces personnel.
At around 11:00 am EST on 29 December 2019, the United States attacked five Kata'ib Hezbollah positions in Iraqi and Syrian territory.
According to the Pentagon, the U.S. targeted three locations in Iraq and two in Syria, including weapon storage facilities and command and control posts.
One U.S. official claimed the strikes were carried out by F-15E fighter jets using precision-guided bombs and that secondary explosions were observed after some of the strikes, indicating the sites may have contained ammunition.
The U.S. did not specify the locations of the strikes, but one of the Iraqi strikes had reportedly targeted the militia group's headquarters in or near al-Qa'im District along the western border with Syria.
According to Iraqi security and militia sources, at least four local Kata'ib Hezbollah commanders were among the dead in the Iraqi strikes, including Abu Ali Khazali.
U.S. President Donald Trump was briefed before and after the strikes by his national security advisors and was informed that a further military response could be warranted.
Hoffman also asserted that the militia has received weapons from Iran's Quds Force that have been used to attack OIR forces.
According to France 24, United State’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described the attacks as a message that implies any actions by Iran that endangers the lives of Americans will not be allowed by the U.S.
The Prime Minister also said that the attack did not take place based on evidence, but rather on situations caused by the tensions between Iran and the U.S.
On 31 December, PMU militiamen and their supporters attacked the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, prompting the U.S. to deploy additional soldiers to help quell the situation.

Reportedly, she attempted to influence Safiye Sultan (and through her the sultan) to a policy in favour of the Republic of Venice, and by doing so came in conflict with Esperanza Malchi, who had the opposite intention: the two women once came in to open conflict in front of Safiye.
She was first married to Fredrich Christian August Werligh (1795–1841) and toured with his theatre company in Denmark, Norway and Sweden from 1830.
She was a successful manager of the Werligh company, which played an important role in both Denmark and Norway during the 1830s and 1840s.
Jean Stanfield is an American politician who was elected to the New Jersey General Assembly to represent the 8th Legislative District on November 5, 2019.

The Clover Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race run forty-one times at New York State's Gravesend and Aqueduct racetracks between 1888 and 1932.
The first Clover Stakes was hosted by Gravesend Race Track from inception in 1888 and run through 1908 and then for a last time in 1910.
Passage of the Hart-Agnew anti-betting legislation by the New York Legislature under Governor Charles Evans Hughes led to a compete shutdown of racing in 1911 and 1912 in the state.
Picked up by the operators of the Aqueduct Racetrack, the Clover Stakes returned in 1914 and would run continuously through 1932.
The valuable race then fell victim to the effects of the Great Depression in the United States which forced track owners to cut costs dramatically and eliminate some events in order to provide funding support for others.

The decision to create an independent Kingdom of Greece from the Three Great Guardian Powers, finalized by the Treaty of Constantinople (1832), poses a dilemma for Greek patriarchal and religious society.
Whether there is an independent Greek (national) church or in the independent state extends the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
The government declared the church to be autocephalous in 1833 in a political decision of the Bavarian Regents acting for King Otto, who was a minor.
In the end, the Patriarchate of Constantinople decided on a compromise that catalyzed an incredible Bulgarian national revival and ultimately leads to the Greco-Bulgarian Schism after which Bulgarians were declared ethnophyletists.
Two laws (200 and 201), were inspired by state churches in Protestant countries, in which the monarch is the formal head of the church.
Until the annexation of Thessaly and Arta, the jurisdiction of the national church in Greece extended to the Arta-Volos line, and from 1881 to the present day covered the lands joined to Greece by virtue of the Treaty of Constantinople (1881) (including the Ionian Islands).
Since the 1920s, these territories are in practice administered by the Church of Greece but are formally under the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.
Kenzō Yagi (5 September 1914 – 18 July 2008) was a Japanese mineralogist and petrologist who specialized in experimental mineralogy and petrology.
Born in Nagano on 5 September 1914, Yagi graduated from the Institute of Mineralogy, Petrology and Economic Geology, Tohoku Imperial University in 1938, where he became assistant professor in 1941.
After obtaining his PhD, he received a research grant from the Fulbright Fellowship to conduct post-doctoral research in the United States.
After working one year at the Colorado School of Mines, he joined the Geophysical Laboratory as a visiting scientist where he studied of the system FeO-AIO-SiO under the supervision of Norman Levi Bowen.
He focused his research mainly the experimental study of pyroxene-bearing systems, such as acmite, Titanium-bearing pyroxene, and fassaite, in order to understand the genesis of nephelinitic magma.
He also devoted time to study of volcanoes in northeast Honshu and meteorites such as the Yamato meteorites found in Antarctica.
In 1996, he filed a lawsuit to stop the construction of the Shihoro Kogen Road in Daisetsuzan National Park Tatsuya Hori, Hokkaido governor at the time.
He won the points classification at the 2019 Tour du Rwanda, the 2019 Tour of Indonesia, and the 2019 Tour of Peninsular.
In these minigames are a quota that must be fulfilled before the time runs out to progress such as shooting a certain amount of enemies or protecting small, yellow cats from projectiles.
These minigames feature a quota that must be fulfilled before the time limit ends, such as shooting a certain number of enemies or protecting small, yellow cats from projectiles.
Completing minigames will allow the player to progress, while losing will cause the player to lose a life; losing all lives will result in the game being over.
The game is divided into three different stages, each featuring eight minigames to play that become gradually harder as it progresses.
Finishing all the minigames in a stage will have the player face off against a boss, including: Frankie, a Frankenstein's monster that will toss projectiles at the player; Vladie, a vampire that launches a barrage of deadly bats; Witchina, a witch that attacks with her spell-casting broomstick; and Mama Mia, a massive dragon-like monster that hurls fireballs.

A soda machine or soda maker is a home appliance for carbonating tap water by using carbon dioxide from a pressurized cartridge.
The machine is often delivered with flavorings which can be added afterwards to the carbonated water to make soda, like for instance orange, lemon or cola flavours.
The water to be carbonated is filled in special pressure resistant bottles which are attached to the maching in a pressure proof way.
The gas is then added to the water via a pipe and valve system which is activated by pushing a button.
The resulting amount of carbon dioxide is determined by the pressure in the CO cartridge and how long the button is held down.
Depending on the size of the gas cartridge, a soda machine can produce up to 100 liters of carbonated water before the cartridge needs to be replaced.
Compared to buying carbonated water in the store, this eliminates packaging and transportation costs, and also results in less waste and possible less use of storage space.
Carbonated water has a low pH-value, and overuse of carbonated water can therefore lead to acid erosion of the teeth, similarly to consuming other sour beverages and food (like soda or fruits).
In a study by the Insitute of Hygiene and Environmental Medicin at the University of Mainz, (Germany), ble coliform bacteria were found in 39% of the tests when water was carbnonated in soda machines, compared to 12% in the tests of water straight from the water tap.
In addition to the said pollution contaminants from the gas cartridge or the machine, the microbiological quality of the water was also affected by a biofilm at the inside of the bottles.
In addition to poor cleaning compared to the manufacturer instructions, poor design of the soda machines was also given as a possible cause to the increased amount of bacteria.

He also leads the Software Design and Collaboration Laboratory at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) where his research group focuses (amongst others) on how software design can be supported in meetings over time.
His approach to research is deeply linked to actual tool creation, rather than focusing purely on theoretical perspectives of a matter.
Over Canada's history various refugees and economic migrants from the United States would immigrate to Canada for a variety of reasons.
Exiled Loyalists from the United States first came, followed by African American refugees, economic migrants, and later draft evaders from the Vietnam War.
The majority, about 33,000 went to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, another 6,600 went to Quebec, and 2,000 to Prince Edward Island.
Governor Haldimand (at the suggestion of Carleton) brought Loyalists away from Quebec City and Montreal by offering free land on the northern shore of Lake Ontario to anyone who would swear allegiance to George III.
Soon after the separation of the Province of Quebec, Lower Canada and Upper Canada were formed, each with its own government.
Within the underground railroad, many escaped slaves desired to go to British North America (today's Canada), since its long border made it easy to flee to, it was further from slave catchers, and not under the rule of the U.S.
More than 30,000 people were said to have escaped there via the network during its 20-year peak period, although U.S. Census figures account for only 6,000.
During the Klondike Gold Rush an estimated 100,000 people tried to reach the Klondike goldfields, of whom only around 30,000 to 40,000 eventually did.
The prospectors came from many nations, although an estimated majority of 60 to 80 percent were Americans or recent immigrants to America.
According to a 1978 book by former members of President Gerald Ford's Clemency Board, 210,000 Americans were accused of draft offenses and 30,000 left the country.

70 St Mary Axe, informally known as The Can Of Ham due to its shape, is an office building in the City of London.
During its construction, the City of London Corporation decided to pedestrianise the part of St Mary Axe along which the building sits, between Bevis Marks to the south-west and Houndsditch to the north-east.
The architectural design was created by Foggo Associates for Targetfollow, and planning permission was granted in 2008.. Targetfollow sold the site to Nuveen in 2011 for £20m but development was delayed during the global financial crisis.
The sole tenant of 60 St Mary Axe agreed in 2014 to exit their lease early, and in 2015 Mace Group Ltd was appointed to build the project.
The Antonio de Vea expedition of 1675–1676 was a Spanish naval expedition to the fjords and channels of Patagonia aimed to find whether rival colonial powers—specifically, the English—were active in the region.
While this was not the first Spanish expedition to the region, it was the largest up to then, involving 256 men, one ocean-going ship, two long boats and nine dalcas ().
Spanish authorities' knowledge of western Patagonia was greatly improved by the expedition, yet Spanish interest in the area waned thereafter until the 1740s.
First the marquis Fernando Fajardo y Álvarez de Toledo learned about it while active as ambassador at the Court of St James's.
Then was the prisoners of the expedition obtained by the Spanish during Narborough's stay in Corral Bay in late December 1670.
The governor of Chiloé sent in early 1674 an expedition led by Jerónimo Díaz de Mendoza south to find out about the rumours.
While settled in Chacao, Chiloé, Cristóbal Talcapillán soon learned the basics of the local Veliche language and begun to gain notoriety for his claims about the a presence of Europeans in the far south.
In further inquiries, Spanish authorities asked Talcapillán to draft a map of the archipelagoes which when fact-checked with Spanish sailors astonished authorities lending credibility to Talcapillán's claims.
Talcapillán told that an Indian called León who had been back and forth to England, and that there was a Spanish shipwreck in Lluctui, an island also controlled by the English.
Two Spanish dalcas approached the ship rescuing the infantrymen while Antonio de Vea and the remaining crew managed to beach the ship in the late evening.
The party of Antonio de Vea was guided by Bartolomé Gallardo, a criollo soldier who explored the area the previous summer, the Jesuit Antonio de Amparán and Cristóbal Talcapillán.
The expedition entered San Rafael Lake on December 11, taking note of its windy conditions, the San Rafael Glacier and the swampy shores in the south that make up the Isthmus of Ofqui.
This has been interpreted by modern researchers to reflect that the effects of the Little Ice Age were not yet in evidence there during the late 17th century.
Before crossing the isthmus of Ofqui by land, the expedition was divided in two groups, one that was to stay behind waiting and that was to advance further south.
This last group was made up by 40 Spaniards and 40 Indians led Antonio de Vea in person and included both Talcapillán and Bartolomé Gallardo.
Having arrived to the mouth of San Tadeo River in the sea on December 23 the group fished basses again, obtaining more than 100.
Rain prevented further advances on December 24 but one day later the expedition was able to reach San Javier Island (called San Esteban Island by Antonio de Vea).
On December 25 and 26 the expedition ambushed and captured various indigenous Chono, including children and an old woman, in San Javier Island.
The woman, who was judged by de Vea to be about 70 years old, reportedly told the Spanish about conflicts with an indigenous group known as Caucagues, who had iron obtained from anchors of European ships.
According to this interrogation, the woman explained that the Caucagues were warned of the Spanish expedition by an Indian who escaped from Calbuco in Chiloé and were thus hiding.
On further questioning about the presumed wreckage from where the anchor was obtained the woman declared that the wreckage occurred when she was very young.
Being guided by the woman on January 2, 1676, the expedition encountered in a whale carcass and next to it an empty Caucague encampment and many dogs.
Eventually Antonio de Vea concluded that Talcapillán was an unreliable interpreter as the old woman explained she had never said anything about iron anchors.
Talcapillán retracted the story about the anchors and said he had been coerced to lie by Bartolomé Gallardo and his father Francisco Gallardo.
Before returning north, the expedition left a bronze plaque in San Javier Island indicating the King of Spain's ownership of the area.
On the way back north Guaiteca Island was reached on January 22 and the expedition returned to the shipyard of Chiloé four days later.
Antonio de Vea reported to have reached as far south as 49°19' S, which may however be an exaggeration or overestimation.
The incident happened as a detachment approached the islets in a skiff to install a metal plaque indicating the King of Spain's ownership of the territory.
Hit by strong winds, the boat drifted away and the remnant of the expedition in charge of Pascual de Iriarte could not find it.
The Viceroy of Peru Baltasar de la Cueva issued orders to the governments of Chile, Chiloé and Río de la Plata to inquire about the men who disappeared at Evangelistas Islets.
However no information about their fate came forth and it is presumed that the boat wrecked in the same storm that forced the remaining party to leave the area.
Antonio de Vea had concluded and successfully convinced Spanish authorities that rumours about English settlements in the fjords and channels of Patagonia were false.
He noted that while there was an abundance of shellfish, sea lions and whales the establishment of a European settlement was not feasible given that adverse climate and poor soils made cultivation of crops impossible.
The focus of Spanish attention to repel tentative English settlements shifted from the Pacific coast of Patagonia to the Straits of Magellan and Tierra del Fuego.
Such a change meant that any English settlement could be approached by land from the north, which was not the case for the islands in western Patagonia.
Despite being in some sense a failure, the Antonio de Vea expedition led to increased Spanish knowledge on the Patagonian archipelagoes.
As far as known today, no new Spanish maps were made of the west coast of Patagonia until José de Moraleda y Montero's explorations in the late 18th century.
Following this expedition there was an apparent hiatus of several decades in both missionary activity and the search of possible foreign colonies in the Pacific coast of Patagonia.
The 2020 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship Division II consisted of two tiered groups of six teams each: the fourth-tier Division IIA and the fifth-tier Division IIB.

He is a Professor, Vice Chair for Translational Research and Director of Renal Cancer Biology Program for the Department of Urology, and Adjunct Professor at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at SUNY Upstate Medical University.
Mollapour holds a BSc (Hons) in Microbiology and Biochemistry from the University of East London, MSc in Applied Molecular Biology of Infectious Diseases and Diploma in Tropical Medicine & Infectious Diseases from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
Mollapour completed his postdoctoral research at the University of Sheffield and in 2006 he received the Federation of European Societies (FEBS) fellowship.
He joined the laboratory of Dr Len Neckers in Urological Oncology Branch, (Chief Dr. W. Marston Linehan), at the National Cancer Institute as a research fellow in 2007.
In 2018 he became the Professor of Urology and Adjunct Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at SUNY Upstate Medical University.
Mollapour is widely recognized for his research on post-translation regulation of the molecular chaperone Heat shock protein-90 (Hsp90) and co-chaperones in cancer.
His work demonstrated how reversible biochemical reactions can become directional and ordered, and in general, how a house-keeping machine (Hsp90) can be modulated through signaling inputs.
Mollapour’s finding on post-translational modifications of the Hsp90 chaperone machinery has also explained the reasons for tumors sensitivity and selectivity towards the Hsp90 inhibitors.
His research has identified a cross-talk between these two co-chaperones and demonstrated interconnectivity and compensatory mechanisms between the BHD and TSC pathways.
His research team has been supported by grants from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences and the National Cancer Instituteto design and examine novel therapeutic strategies for patients with kidney, bladder and breast cancer.

Many studies based upon the subject have connected the allegory of the sea goat to the zodiac Capricorn as well, although its origin is not entirely known.
Later on, Pricus started the race of all other sea goats, who were very clever and able to speak and dearly loved by the gods.
They enjoyed to dwell on the seashore, but once they made it onto land, the sea goats automatically transformed into normal goats.
Stated in the stories, once the time comes all the creatures of the sea must offer themselves to the monster leviathan.

Visual Artists Ireland (VAI) is an advocacy, support, publishing, and information organisation representing professional visual artists on the island of Ireland.
Founded in 1980 as the Sculptors’ Society of Ireland, the name was changed in 2005 as they began to include visual artists of all disciplines.
The VAI is a Limited Company with Guarantee run by paid staff under a voluntary board of professional artists, and primarily receives its funding from Arts Council grant money.
They have also tried their hand at app development – Art Connect – and an artists's social network, the Common Room Social Network for the Visual Arts.
The VAI offers residencies such as the Valerie Earley Residency Award and the Suki Tea Art Prize; has previously administered arts studios grants on behalf of the Arts Council of Ireland; and started granting a 'Hardship Award' in 2011.
The organisation has been an active whistleblower on this issue, recently naming the National Gallery of Ireland as a culprit in not paying artists, even though the exhibition requires a paid ticket.
Launched in 2017 as part of an Irish government pilot scheme, and now a permanent one, artists can receive jobseeker's allowance as artists, with the VAI and the Irish Writers Centre officially determining eligibility.

As a figure in Hartford, she was known to play tennis in her front yard court and to have made archery fashionable.
He saved approximately 2500 Jews in Budapest in 1944–45, thus being one of those Hungarians who saved the most Jews during the Holocaust.
His father was István Ocskay of Ocskó and Felsődubován (1844–1908), parliamentary representative of Bereg County, his mother was Eugénia Bogen (1852–1939).
His grandparents on his father's side were Rudolf Ocskay of Ocskó and Felsődubován (1815–1904), Lord Lieutenant (főispán) of Nyitra County and Mária Scultéty of Szoppór.
He joined the National Army (later to become the Royal Hungarian Army) led by Miklós Horthy as a volunteer in 1919.
He became the commander of the number 101/359 Jewish forced labor battalion, which was officially collecting, mending and making clothing items for the German army.
The original battalion with 200 men was housed in Síp Street in the middle of the Jewish quarter, but soon they had to be moved to the Jewish Secondary School in Zugló because of their growing numbers.
These connections helped when, on one memorable occasion in January 1945, with the help of the Waffen-SS forces stationed in Budapest, he managed to drive away members of the Hungarian Arrow Cross Party, who were about to execute these thousands of Jews by shooting them into the Danube.
Apart from Ocskay's strong diplomatic skills and connections, this achievement might have been helped by the German forces wanting to paint a better picture of themselves in face of the imminent military crush.
When the German forces were driven out of Hungary, the occupying Soviet army very nearly deported the men of the battalion, who eventually managed to escape.
Ocskay was not friendly with the communists, who started to persecute him for his noble origins, his military past in Horthy's army and his German and American connections.
He went on to live forgotten and poor, working as a night guard in Kingston, N.Y., until his death there on 27 March 1966.
It was eventually erected in October 2008 in the City Park of Budapest, where in July 2015 a street was also named after him.
The 1988–89 season is Real Madrid Club de Fútbol's 87th season in existence and the club's 58th consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football.
Real Madrid finished the season as champions for the fourth season running, 5 points ahead of the runners-up this time being FC Barcelona.
Sällskapet för uppmuntran av öm och sedlig modersvård (literary: 'Society for the encouragement of tender and virtious motherly care') was a royal Swedish charity organisation, founded in 1827 and discontinued in 1944.
It was one of the first private charity organisations in Sweden, and one of the first to be founded and managed by women.
The purpose of the organisation was to provide financial help to poor mothers, who was estimated to be good mothers by the organisation, and it was an example of the private charity organisations which did not believe in unconditional help to the needing.
He, and later with his son, was responsible for the design of at least fifty schools in Washington as well as many other kinds of buildings.
He learned the skills of an architect through a correspondence course and began practice in that field in Hyde Park, Illinois from 1885-87.
He later moved to Pasadena, California where he practiced 1887-89, and then on to Washington when there was great need for architects during rebuilding after the Great Seattle Fire of 1889.
He practiced in Seattle alone from 1889–93 and then partnered with Timotheus Josenhans for a short time (1894–97) when the team designed buildings on the Washington Agricultural College campus (now Washington State University).
During the recession of the mid to late 90s, Stephen returned to cabinetmaking and found work with the Moran Shipyards in Seattle and Alaska.
He became the official school architect from 1901 to 1909 where he designed and supervised the construction of fifty Seattle school buildings.
The schools used standard floor plans and interior finishes but the exteriors varied greatly from school to school as Stephen used his cabinetmaker skills to design different wood detailing of the exterior elevations.
Around the time his eldest son Frederick graduated as an architect from the University of Pennsylvania, Stephen traveled to the mid-west and New York to study newer trends in school construction.
In 1908, the two started a partnership (Stephen and Stephen) and, probably influenced by what he had seen on the trip as well as his son's training, began to design schools with fireproof materials.
Simultaneously to his position as Seattle school architect, he continued in his private practice designing residential, religious, and commercial structures, including the original portion of the downtown Seattle YMCA building.
Schools produced after his son joined the practice can be found in Edmonds, Wenatchee, Cashmere, Richmond Beach, Vancouver, Ellensburg, Kirkland, Cle Elum, Chehalis, Fall City, and Port Townsend.
He became a member of the American Institute of Architects in 1902 and was president of the Washington chapter in 1907-08 as well as a delegate to the national convention in Chicago in 1907.
A decade after he left the employ of the school district, he became a vocal critic of the school building program claiming it was extravagant and wasteful.
He cited the construction of the Roosevelt High School which was estimated to cost $1.25 million (), nearly equal to the combined cost of the four newest Seattle high schools.
(born February 1883 in Illinois), Walter M (born September 1884 in Illinois), Chester R (born March 1887 in Illinois), and James H (born March 1893 in Seattle).
Stephen retired from the practice in 1923 or 1928 and died in Seattle on September 27, 1938 after a ten-year illness.
At the start of the first season, he is depicted as having an extremely rowdy personality; he disregards the law frequently.
The 2019–20 VMI Keydets basketball team is representing the Virginia Military Institute during the 2019–20 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.
The Keydets are led by fifth-year head coach Dan Earl and played their home games out of Cameron Hall in Lexington, Virginia, their home since 1981, as members of the Southern Conference.
The Keydets finished the 2018–19 campaign with a 11–21 overall record, and a 4–14 mark in SoCon play to finish in eighth place.
He succeeded Johan Conrad Huusher as the manager of the theater company which staffed the Trøndelag Teater in 1831-1834, and was succeeded by Jacob Mayson.
As such he played a major part in the theater history of Trondheim, which had no other permanent theatre in a period when Norway was almost entirely dominated by travelling theatre companies from Denmark.
Dorin Manole started playing rugby as a youth for a local Romanian club based in Tecuci and then started his professional journey joining the youth ranks of a local team in Focșani, under the guidance of coaches Genu Popa and Vasile Condurache.
After playing in Romania for the past 5 years, followed a move to Spanish club CRC Madrid and after almost three years with the Spaniards he signed with Fédérale 2 club U.S. Orthez in France.
The 23rd Guards Rifle Division was reformed as an elite infantry division of the Red Army in March, 1942, based on the 1st formation of the 88th Rifle Division, and served in that role until after the end of the Great Patriotic War.
It was one of just two Guards divisions to be formed in the far north, the 10th Guards being the other.
It continued to serve in Karelian Front, where it was formed, until October when it was railed south to join the 1st Shock Army of Northwestern Front; it would remain in that Army until nearly the end of 1944.
Over the next several months it took part in the dismal fighting around the Demyansk salient until it was evacuated by the German II Army Corps in March, 1943.
During the rest of the year the division continued battling through the forests and swamps south of Lake Ilmen, occasionally under command of the 14th Guards Rifle Corps, until the Leningrad-Novgorod Offensive began in late January, 1944.
The 23rd Guards took part in the liberation of Staraya Russa in mid-February and went on to win a battle honor about a week later at Dno.
1st Shock Army (now in 2nd Baltic Front) closed up to the German Panther Line south of Lake Peipus during the spring and then helped break through it at the start of the Baltic Campaign in July.
For its part in the liberation of Ostrov the division was awarded the Order of the Red Banner before gradually advancing through Latvia towards Riga, which it helped to liberate in October.
By now it was in the 12th Guards Rifle Corps which was transferred in late November to the 3rd Shock Army in 1st Belorussian Front.
The 23rd Guards would remain under these commands for the duration of the war, advancing across Poland and eastern Germany into Berlin in 1945 and winning a second honorific after the fighting ended.
The division was officially raised to Guards status on March 17, 1942 in recognition of its leading role in stopping the drive of the Finnish III Army Corps along the Kestenga-Loukhi road which had threatened to cut the Kirov Railway south from Murmansk.
Col. Vladimir Aleksandrovich Solovyov remained in command of the division after redesignation; he would be promoted to the rank of major general on May 3.
On April 24 the 26th Army launched an offensive in the Kestenga area with the objective of improving its positions and driving the Finnish-German forces farther away from the railway.
The Soviet plan called for the Axis troops to be fixed by a frontal assault by the 263rd Rifle Division while the main attack would be made after a long outflanking move from the north by the 23rd Guards and 186th Rifle Divisions plus the 80th Marine Rifle and 8th Ski Brigades.
The attack began during a heavy snowfall and while 26th Army had the advantage in manpower, artillery and mortars it had to contend with acute shortages of ammunition.
In the early going elements of the 23rd Guards managed to wedge into the defenses up to 7km but the arrival of reserves brought the advance to a halt.
A further regrouping followed by an attack on May 10 produced no results at all, and the Army went over to the defense the next day.
He was replaced in command of the division by Col. Sergei Nikolaievich Aleksandrov, who would himself be promoted to major general on September 12 prior to the move south to join Northwestern Front.
In part due to this setback and in part due to plans being formulated for the overall winter counteroffensive the 23rd Guards was loaded onto trains on the Kirov Railway later in October and moved south to the Ostashkov railhead to join 1st Shock.
The intention of the new offensive, as in those during the summer and fall, would be to penetrate the corridor from the south and link up with 11th Army to its north, again encircling the German Demyansk grouping.
As with the case of Operation Mars at Rzhev, constant bad weather and a late front delayed Northwestern Front's preparations for its offensive, particularly the regrouping of its forces.
On November 2 the division, with a current strength of 9,651 personnel, officially came under the command of 1st Shock Army, along with the 167th Tank Regiment with 24 T-34 tanks.
While this gave the Red Army forces a ratio of over three to one in infantry and an edge in armor strength it would be mostly negated by the thick and roadless terrain and unfavorable weather.
1st Shock's attack began with a preliminary operation by the 86th Brigade on the night of November 23/24, striking at the boundary between the 126th and 123rd Infantry Divisions but this stalled short of its initial objective due to heavy mud and German fire.
Despite this failure the 23rd Guards and 129th divisions were ordered to pass through the Brigade's lines and take up jumping-off positions overnight on November 27/28.
Their assault began at 1115 hours the next day, supported by the 167th Tank Regiment and the 103rd and 401st Tank Battalions and following a 45-minute artillery preparation.
Operating in carefully-tailored shock groups with direct armor support the leading rifle regiments advanced 2-2.5km deep into the German forward security outposts and extensive engineering obstacles before arriving at the forward edge of the main line at 2000 hours, after dark.
After taking only small toeholds in these defenses the relentless artillery fire and numerous company-to-battalion sized counterattacks forced the two divisions back to their start lines.
By now the attackers had fallen into stereotyped methods; when 1st Shock was observed massing for yet another assault on December 27 the German forces interdicted with an artillery counter-preparation, firing over 14,000 shells which rendered the Army temporarily combat ineffective.
Clearly the defenses around the salient remained formidable but given that Demyansk had always been partially supplied by air, following the encirclement of the German 6th Army at Stalingrad those air assets were much more required to the south.
It was regrouped westward to attack the south side of the mouth of the corridor and was reinforced with four tank regiments, two artillery divisions, two Guards Mortar divisions, and two aviation corps.
1st Shock's attack had to be postponed until February 26 by which time it was facing three German divisions instead of one.
The assault troops managed to gain from 1 - 3km with great difficulty, and a further effort the next day was stopped in its tracks.
Through the rest of the year 1st Shock Army would be lightly engaged with elements of German 16th Army along the Polist River.
In October the 23rd Guards joined the 53rd Guards Rifle Division in the 14th Guards Rifle Corps under direct command of the Front; on November 19 this Front would be renamed 2nd Baltic.
2nd Baltic was ordered on February 17 to prepare an offensive in the direction of Idritsa, to begin on February 28-29.
However this plan was anticipated by Army Group North's Field Marshal W. Model and on the same day 16th Army was directed to begin withdrawing to the west, beginning with the forces that were still holding at Staraya Russa.
This began before Soviet intelligence had detected its preparations and 1st Shock began its pursuit of X Army Corps on February 18 in the direction of Dno and Dedovichi.
Late on February 23 the 14th Guards Corps and the 111th Rifle Corps of 54th Army launched converging attacks on the defenses around Dno but were driven back by heavy counterattacks.
A renewed assault the next day cleared the city and the 23rd Guards was recognized for its part in the victory with a battle honor:The Front exploited its successes on February 26.
As the pursuit continued 1st Shock advanced up to 22km on February 27 and the key town of Pustoshka was taken.
Although 1st Shock advanced 40km by the end of the day on February 29 and cut the Pskov-Opochka rail line, in the first days of March it was forced to go over to the defense.
When the offensive began on July 8 the division was facing the defenses of the Panther line east of the Velikaya, roughly halfway between Pskov and Ostrov.
The latter city was liberated on July 21 and for its part in this battle on August 9 the division would be decorated with the Order of the Red Banner.
On August 26 General Beloborodov handed his command over to Maj. Gen. Pavel Mendelevich Shafarenko, who would remain in this post for the duration of the war.
By mid-September the 23rd Guards was, with the rest of 1st Shock, near the Latvian-Estonian border in the vicinity of Ape, Latvia, slowly advancing west.
During the first days of October it had reached Limbaži and was closing on the Latvian capital of Riga from the northeast.
The city was liberated on October 13 and two regiments of the division were recognized with battle honors:In addition, on October 31 the 66th Guards Rifle Regiment would be decorated with the Order of the Red Banner while the 68th Regiment would receive the Order of Aleksandr Nevsky.
Within days of the liberation of Riga 3rd Baltic Front was disbanded and 1st Shock returned to 2nd Baltic, but 23rd Guards was reassigned to the 12th Guards Rifle Corps under direct Front command.
On November 29 the commander of the 1st Belorussian Front, Marshal Zhukov, received the following:In the buildup to the Vistula-Oder Offensive the 3rd Shock was assigned to serve as the Front reserve and was concentrated in the area of Pilawa and Garwolin.
In the plan for the Vistula-Oder Offensive 3rd Shock was in the Front second echelon with the initial objective of developing the offensive from the Magnuszew bridgehead towards Poznań.
As it continued the Army's forces served to guard the Front's right (north) flank and tie in to the 2nd Belorussian Front advancing into East Prussia, leaving them guarding a very broad front by the first days of February.
After reaching the Oder with its main forces the 1st Belorussian was directed to clear the remaining German forces from East Pomerania, where 3rd Shock was already operating.
When this offensive began on February 24 the 12th Guards Corps, along with 2nd Guards Cavalry Corps, was ordered to continue to hold along a line from Battrow to Groß Born.
Prior to the start of the offensive on Berlin the 3rd Shock Army was redeployed into the Soviet bridgehead over the Oder at Küstrin.
The 23rd Guards, which had been brought up to a strength of about 5,500 personnel, was in its Corps' first echelon with 52nd Guards and 33rd Rifle Divisions.
In order to cover the deployment of 3rd Shock into the bridgehead, on April 14 the reconnaissance in its zone was carried out by units of 5th Shock Army which had been there for some time.
On the following day the Army took over its own reconnaissance; 12th Guards Corps deployed one reinforced rifle battalion from each of its divisions, supported by one artillery brigade, one long-range howitzer brigade, a mortar brigade and an antitank artillery regiment.
By the end of the day these advance battalions had advanced as much as 3km and consolidated along a line of separate homesteads 1.5km south of Amt Kienitz and the same distance east of Letschin.
As a result of these and other similar advances by the Front's forces the German defensive system was largely uncovered and partly disorganized, and the thickest zone of minefields was overcome.
While the 52nd Guards and 33rd Divisions fought for the latter place, the 2nd Battalion of the 66th Guards Regiment was engaged in a fight for the German Posedin and Wuschewire strongpoints.
The position consisted of two continuous trenches and individual buildings had been turned into permanent firing points connected to deep cellars for cover.
Barbed wire was present both in continuous strands and as Bruno coils, along with minefields, individual foxholes and machine gun posts.
The 66th Guards Regiment commander ordered his 2nd Battalion to take the Posedon position that day and then get astride the road junction to its southwest.
The Battalion commander, Maj. Semyon Ivanovich Nikin, decided to outflank Posedon with his 5th Company from the north and 4th Company from the south to get into its rear, while the 6th Company waited to exploit any developments.
The attack was supported by the 49th Guards Artillery Regiment's 1st Battalion, a battery of regimental artillery, a company of 120mm mortars, and a battery from the antitank artillery regiment.
However, Nikin noticed that this fire seemed to have completely suppressed the enemy fire from the trenches north and south of Posedon and he modified his plans accordingly.
As early as 1100 hours the 5th Company, with two 45mm antitank guns, had outflanked the position and captured the junction.
An hour later the 4th Company accomplished the same to the south and Posedon was encircled, leading to disorder among the defenders as some attempted to hurriedly withdraw to Wuschewire.
Meanwhile, 33rd Division was meeting stiff resistance at Letschin, so Nikin ordered his 5th Company to get in the rear of that position and disrupt its defense.
At the same time the 5th Company got within 2km of Letschin from the west and destroyed several German guns and machine gun crews that had been supporting the garrison there.
The German forces attempted to restore the situation with a counterattack by about 200 men, an assault gun, and artillery fire from Wuschewire to relieve the troops encircled at Posedon as these also attempted to break out.
In this situation the 6th Company went over to the defense temporarily and opened fire with machine guns, mortars, and a pair of 45mm antitank guns against the counterattack force and dispersed it.
His 4th Company outflanked the position from the north while 5th Company advanced from the south and 6th Company continued its assault from the east.
During the day the 2nd Battalion advanced 9km and broke through the entire German main defensive zone, at a cost of four men killed and 13 wounded.
Following further exceptional service in the fighting for Berlin, on May 31 Major Nikin was made a Hero of the Soviet Union.
12th Guards Corps now had the 23rd Guards and 33rd Divisions in first echelon with 52nd Guards in reserve and 9th Guards Tanks in support.
By 1300 hours units of the 23rd had reached the Friedlanderstrom Canal which formed a main line of the German second defensive zone.
On its eastern bank, in the area of Buschof Creek, there was a protection detachment consisting of a platoon of infantry, three machine guns and eight assault guns.
The terrain in the division's attack zone was highly favorable to the defenders as it was a low-lying plain devoid of cover, while to the west of the canal the ground gradually rises to a series of heights covered with woods.
In this situation General Shafarenko decided to attack the German force in the area of Buschof Creek off the march, in conjunction with units of the 33rd Division but without waiting for the lagging artillery.
The main blow was to be delivered by 66th Guards Regiment with 63rd Guards Regiment to the right and the 125th Independents Company along their boundary; 68th Guards Regiment concentrated in the Grube area.
The defenders opened a strong fire from all their weapons, forcing most of the 66th and 125th to remain pinned to the ground.
Shafarenko then decided to postpone the attack until 1500 hours, allowing time for a fuller reconnaissance and for his heavier guns to come up.
This second barrage proved far more effective, destroying four of the assault guns and a machine gun at Buschof Creek and suppressing the other two machine guns.
The 1st Battalion of the 66th Guards burst into Buschof Creek and destroyed the defending Germans in a short skirmish, capturing the machine guns and the four remaining serviceable assault guns with their crews.
The 125th Company forced a crossing by makeshift means and got a hold on the west bank but the 66th and 63rd Guards were unsuccessful in following them due to increasing fire from flanking machine guns.
Then, on Shafarenko's orders, tanks and self-propelled guns were brought right up to the canal's east bank and began firing on the German positions at point-blank range.
Under its cover both regiments crossed the canal on whatever would float and within 30 minutes were firmly established on the west bank.
The remaining German troops fell back to the Slanhof Creek area; following a short break the Soviet units took that area by storm.
By the end of the day the 23rd Guards reached the paved road from Metzdorf to Gottesgabe, well inside the Germans' second defensive zone.
By April 22 the 3rd Shock Army, now in conjunction with the 1st Mechanized Corps, had advanced as far as the suburbs in the northeastern part of Berlin.
The 12th Guards Corps advanced 1.5-2km in heavy fighting and by the end of the day was fighting along a line from Pankow to Weissensee.
As a result of the day's operations the Army completed the breakthrough of the Berlin inner defensive line along its entire front.
On April 25 the 66th Guards Regiment was attacking along the Muellerstrasse with the objective of taking the railway station in the Wedding area.
Each battalion was storming the building simultaneously along both sides of the street and each had detached two rifle companies of about 50 men each.
In addition the battalions each had an artillery regiment providing indirect fire, a battalion of 76mm guns firing over open sights, and a battery of four SU-76s in support.
Intense German fire made movement along the street impossible, so the special companies advanced from building to building through courtyards and by mouse-holing through basements, attics and adjoining rooms, destroying the defenders in skirmishes which were often hand-to-hand.
In this situation the commander of the Regiment ordered Major Nikin to attack the first building at 1600 hours to clear it, consolidate and then prepare to attack the second building along with the 1st Battalion.
By 1400 hours both of Nikin's storm companies had concentrated in buildings opposite their objective as the engineers prepared direct fire positions for the antitank guns.
Nikin decided, first, to break up the barricade near the Luxemburgstrasse building and throw in a small group of picked submachine gunners under cover of indirect and direct artillery fire, with the goal of causing panic and disorganization in the German fire system.
One minute later the picked group of seven men and two engineers, let by a platoon commander, rushed across the street to a designated entranceway.
Taking advantage of smoke and dust raised by the artillery they reached the entrance without loss but found the grenade- and gun-fire had not inflicted serious damage on the barricade.
This was remedied with a 20kg demolition charge placed by the engineers, after which the group broke into the entrance and then the building's courtyard.
The platoon commander left two men at two stairwells to prevent anyone leaving the cellar where the defenders had hidden during the barrage, with the exception of observers and machine gunners in the building itself.
The battery of SU-76s was now able to advance under cover of the artillery barrage and began to fire on the building's lower floor windows and doors to create breaches for the attacking infantry.
The company commander reinforced the men covering the cellar exits; these used grenades and rifle and SMG fire to throw back the German soldiers attempting to break out.
In the course of this fighting 40 Germans were killed and five taken prisoner while the company lost eight men killed and wounded.
The second company was now due to cross the street but was held up by heavy machine gun fire from a ruined building on the Triftstrasse.
Nikin's observers quickly determined where the fire was coming from and within six or seven minutes artillery fire had suppressed the target.
On May 31 a total of 13 personnel of the division, including Major Nikin, were made Heroes of the Soviet Union.
Sergeant Lyudmila Stepanovna Kravets, who took over commzand from a wounded company commander on April 17 and later evacuated the wounded during the street battles in Berlin.

He succeeded Carl Wilhelm Orlamundt as the manager of the theater company which staffed the Trøndelag Teater in 1836-1839, and was succeeded by Gustav Wilhelm Selmer.
As such he played a major part in the theater history of Trondheim, which had no other permanent theatre in a period when Norway was almost entirely dominated by travelling theatre companies from Denmark.
The church is dedicated to Our Lady of Help and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of São Salvador da Bahia.
The church belongs to the Brotherhood of Our Lady of Amparo, which was generally made of mixed-race men, who often constituted the majority of the population of cities in Bahia.
The church, despite its construction in the 19th century, is similar to those of the previous century, with a nave, side corridors superimposed by galleries, a façade with monumental pediment, and bell towers on either side of the portals.
The church lacks federal, state, or municipal protection, but was named as part of the Heritage of Portuguese Influence sites by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
It was renovated, or possibly completed, in 1907 in the Neoclassical style, typical of church renovations in Bahia in the previous century.
The floors of the side corridors were repaired in 1965, and the roofing of the galleries and sacristies were replaced between 1967 and 1968.
The division of the plan of the church into three sections (a nave and two side corridors) is emphasized on the façade by pilasters.
The interior of the church consists of a nave and side corridors surmounted by tribunes, a plan typical of Bahian churches of the 17th century.
A sacristy is located on either side of the chancel and are connected by a small corridor behind the rear of the chancel.
The church has a rich collection of 19th century images, including statues of Saint Amaro, Saint Rita, Saint Gonsalo, Our Lady of Victory, Our Lady of Protection.

District 9 is based in Raleigh and Wyoming Counties in Southern West Virginia, also covering a small portion of northern McDowell County.
Communities in the district include Beckley, Mabscott, Sophia, Beaver, Bradley, Coal City, Crab Orchard, Daniels, MacArthur, Prosperity, Shady Spring, Stanaford, Mullens, and Oceana.
The district is located entirely within West Virginia's 3rd congressional district, and overlaps with the 21st, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st, and 32nd districts of the West Virginia House of Delegates.
He was the manager of the theater company which staffed the Trøndelag Teater in 1829-1831, and was succeeded by Carl Wilhelm Orlamundt.
As such he played a major part in the theater history of Trondheim, which had no other permanent theatre in a period when Norway was almost entirely dominated by travelling theatre companies from Denmark: the building had previously only been used by the Det Dramatiske Selskab, and he thereby created the first professional public theatre in the city and that part of Norway.

She was a leading actress first in the company of Jacob Mayson and then for Gustav Wilhelm Selmer at the Trøndelag Teater in a period when there professional theatre in Norway, outside of Oslo, consisted of travelling Danish theatre companies and few actors became known other than temporarily.
She was engaged in travelling theatre companies in Drammen and Bergen in 1827-1837 until she was engaged at the Christiania Theatre in 1837, where she became a leading lady within the female main parts in the plays by Ludvig Holberg during the 1840s and 1850s.
Zombieland is an American media franchise centering on a college aged kid making his way through the zombie apocalypse, meeting three strangers along the way and together taking an extended road trip across the Southwestern United States in an attempt to find a sanctuary free from zombies.
The series features The film stars Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin as survivors of a zombie apocalypse.
Survivors of the zombie epidemic have learned that growing attached to other survivors is not advisable because they could die at any moment, so many have taken to using their city of origin as nicknames.
The group awakens to find the Beast being crushed by a monster truck driven by Albuquerque and Flagstaff, who strongly resemble Tallahassee and Columbus.
Super zombies arrive, and Albuquerque explains they have turned back from their journey west due to hordes of super zombies moving east.
Rejoining the group, she explains that her nut allergy caused symptoms similar to zombification when Columbus spared her in the forest.
A satisfied Tallahassee departs, only to find a horde of super zombies attracted by the commune's fireworks and runs back to warn the group.
Left without guns, Tallahassee devises a plan to kill the zombies with exploding biodiesel and then have commune members armed with barricade shields corral the stragglers off of a skyscraper with Tallahassee himself as the bait.
Tallahassee uses a construction crane hook to dangle just out of reach, but the last two zombies seize his leg as they fall, and Little Rock shoots them with a pistol given to her earlier by Tallahassee, rescuing him.
Little Rock breaks up with Berkeley, who hooks up with Madison; they stay behind as the group, joined by Nevada, leave Babylon.

In his previous fight, Naseem Hamed had defeated César Soto to add the WBC featherweight championship to his own WBO version of the title.
Hamed had originally hoped to keep both titles, however, as at the time the WBO was not a major sanctioning body, the WBC refused to allow Hamed to hold their title with the WBO's and he was subsequently stripped in January 2000.

First unveiled in the Russian Army Expo 2017 alongside the AMB-17, the AM-17 (, awaiting GRAU designation), is a assault rifle that uses standard intermediate cartridge 5.45×39mm 7N10 cartridge.
It was developed and manufactured by in the late 2010s by Kalashnikov Concern based on the Yevgeny Dragunov MA Compact Rifle.
The weapon is intended for use as a close quarters weapon, primarily for military and law enforcement units of the Russian Interior Ministry, Russian National Guard, and Russian Army to replace the AKS-74U.
The AM-17 unlike previous firearms in current use by the Russian military differentiates itself by employing two receivers that connect on a hinge instead of a single stamped receiver with a lid.
To do this the upper receiver itself is made from polymer and steel reinforcements, while the lower receiver along with its magazine housing is made entirely from polymer and connected to the upper receiver by two captive take down cross-pins reducing the weight of the firearm significantly and allowing for easier access into the internal operation.
The gas operated action within is a short stroke gas piston and rotary bolt which locks with three radial lugs on the bolt head similar to historic 9x39mm carbines such as the VSK-94.
The bolt carrier within the upper receiver is almost streamline by design raising it towards the bolt group reducing both bolt friction and felt user recoil.
The weapon has an integrated upper full-length MIL-STD/1913 Picatinny railing, polymer side-folding and adjustable (telescoping) shoulder stock, and longitudinal slots in the walls of the upper receiver allowing for ambidextrous controls in both the fire selector and charging handle.
The command is responsible for the organization, training, equipping, command and control (C2), and employment of space forces to support operational plans and missions for U.S. combatant commanders.
Space Operations Command serves as the headquarters and staff for United States Space Command’s (USSPACECOM) Combined Force Space Component Command (CFSCC).

Four failures of the N-1 Rocket super heavy-lift launch vehicle and the success of the U.S Apollo program ended the Soviet manned moon program and the space race.
The first docking of two spacecraft was achieved on March 16, 1966 when Gemini 8 rendezvoused and docked with an unmanned Agena Target Vehicle.
Soyuz 4 and Soyuz 5 performed the first docking of two manned spacecraft on January 16, 1969, coupled with a spacewalk.
Then, the Apollo 9 spacecraft/command and service module (CSM) completed a rendezvous and docked with the Lunar Module (LM) on March 3, 1969, using a transfer tunnel.
Soyuz Kontakt was designed for the Soviet lunar orbit rendezvous of the Soyuz 7K-OK manned lunar orbiter spacecraft and Soviet LK lunar lander for the Soviet space program.
Once docked, the crew would then perform an EVA (or extravehicular activity) to transfer to the LK lander (the passive craft).
For the tests, two Soyuz 11A511 rockets would have put the active Soyuz 7K-OK manned spacecraft on earth orbit along with another, modified 7K-OK (with the grid adaptation) to be the passive craft.
The vehicle was 7.95m (26.08 ft) tall with a span of 9.80m (32.10 ft), and a gross mass of 6,560 kg (14,460 lb).
The failure of the N-1 and the death of the Soyuz 11 crew in June 1971 lead to the redesign of the Soyuz spacecraft.
Soyuz s/n 21 was planned to launch in early 1972 with a cosmonaut crew of two, Anatoly Filipchenko and Georgy Grechko.
The 1920 United States presidential election in Idaho took place on November 2, 1920, as part of the 1920 United States presidential election.
At state level the Gem State had begun in 1902 to be very much a one-party Republican state, which it has largely remained since apart from the New Deal era of the 1930s and 1940s.
By the beginning of 1920 skyrocketing inflation and Wilson's focus upon his proposed League of Nations at the expense of domestic policy had helped make the incumbent President very unpopular – besides which Wilson also had major health problems that had left First Lady Edith effectively running the nation.
With the very strong interior isolationist and anti-League of Nations sentiment of Northern and Central Idaho, and local senator William Borah saying that all wars should be subject to a referendum in September, it was apparent that the Gem State would swing very strongly against the pro-League Cox, especially as the extremely independent Borah endorsed Harding on October 3.
Cox did make a brief visit to the state in mid-September, The state’s opposition to Cox’s platform became further apparent when on October 24 the Democratic nominee said he did not accept that Congress should be able to veto presidential calls for war against foreign countries.
As early as the end of August, Harding campaign strategists led by Washington State Senator Miles Poindexter were saying Cox’s pro-League policies would lose him the West.
a straw poll at the beginning of October vindicated Poindexter: Harding led Cox in Idaho by slightly less than a two-to-one margin.
after internationalist GOP nominee Charles Evans Hughes won just five counties in 1916, Harding carried every Idaho county by double digits.

He was on the staff of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith when, on 28 May 1925, Pope Pius XI named him a titular bishop and the first Apostolic Delegate to Indochina.
The French missionaries and bishops long accustomed to managing Church affairs in Indochina did not welcome the establishment of a Vatican delegation for the region nor the appointment of an Italian to head it.
The French press reported only his formal statements and activities while Vietnamese Catholic newspapers described his travels and pastoral visits in great detail, noting his praise of the Vietnamese priests for their Latin and of missionaries who shared meals with their Vietnamese colleagues.

Świętojański Fair, Saint John's Fair, is a cultural and commercial event taking place in Poznań, traditionally in the second half of June, on the Old Market Square and adjacent streets.
The tradition of fairs dates back to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (although they were held earlier), when there was the greatest flourishing fair trade in Poznan.
The largest fair took place around 24 June, on St. John's Day, and the subject of trade was then mainly grain and wool.
After the collapse of the trade in these articles, the fairs fell into decline, especially at the beginning of the 18th century.
The 19th century caused that the fairs also gained a social function and became the time of meetings of the Wielkopolska landowners (they were called St John's Day contracts).
The tradition was revived in 1975 on the initiative of President Andrzej Wituski (inspired by the appearance of Grand-Place in Brussels) and temporarily connected with the organization of the Poznań International Fair.
At that time, state trade prevailed and one could buy scarce goods, which were absent from the shelves of shops on ordinary days.

The Syrian Civil War is an ongoing multi-sided civil war in Syria fought between the Ba'athist Syrian Arab Republic led by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, along with domestic and foreign allies, and various domestic and foreign forces opposing both the Syrian government and each other in varying combinations.
The unrest in Syria, part of a wider wave of the 2011 Arab Spring protests, grew out of discontent with the Syrian government and escalated to an armed conflict after protests calling for Assad's removal were violently suppressed.
Iran, Russia, and Hezbollah support the Syrian Arab Republic and the Syrian Armed Forces militarily, with Russia conducting airstrikes and other military operations since September 2015.
The U.S.-led international coalition, established in 2014 with the declared purpose of countering ISIL, has conducted airstrikes primarily against ISIL as well as some against government and pro-government targets.
Since 2015, the U.S. has supported the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria and its armed wing, the SDF, materially, financially, and logistically.
Turkey has been directly involved in operations against the Syrian government since August 2016, not only participating in airstrikes against ISIL alongside the U.S.-led coalition, but also actively supporting the Syrian opposition and occupying large swaths of northwestern Syria while engaging in significant ground combat with ISIL, the SDF, and the Syrian government.
Between 2011 and 2017, fighting from the Syrian Civil War spilled over into Lebanon as opponents and supporters of the Syrian government traveled to Lebanon to fight and attack each other on Lebanese soil, with ISIL and Al-Nusra also engaging the Lebanese Army.
Furthermore, while officially neutral, Israel has conducted airstrikes against Hezbollah and Iranian forces, whose presence in southwestern Syria it views as a threat.
International organizations have criticized virtually all sides involved, including the Ba'athist Syrian government, ISIL, opposition rebel groups, Russia, and the U.S.-led coalition of severe human rights violations and massacres.
Over the course of the war, a number of peace initiatives have been launched, including the March 2017 Geneva peace talks on Syria led by the United Nations, but fighting continues.
The 2019 Turkish offensive into north-eastern Syria, code-named by Turkey as Operation Peace Spring (), is a cross-border military operation conducted by the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) and the Syrian National Army (SNA) against the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and later the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in northeastern Syria.
On 6 October 2019, the Trump administration ordered American troops to withdraw from northeastern Syria, where the United States had been supporting its Kurdish allies.
The conflict resulted in the displacement of over 300,000 people and has caused the death of more than 70 civilians in Syria and 20 civilians in Turkey.
Ten European nations and Canada imposed an arms embargo on Turkey, while the U.S. imposed sanctions on Turkish ministries and senior government officials in response to the offensive in Syria.
The Syrian government initially criticized the Kurdish forces for the Turkish offensive, for their separatism and not reconciling with the government, while at the same time also condemning the foreign invasion in Syrian territory.
However, a few days later, the SDF reached an agreement with the Syrian government, in which it would allow the Syrian Army to enter the SDF-held towns of Manbij and Kobanî in an attempt to defend the towns from the Turkish offensive.
On 17 October 2019, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence announced that the U.S. and Turkey agreed on a deal in which Turkey will agree to a ceasefire in Syria for 5 days in return for a complete withdrawal by the SDF from a safe zone south of the Syria-Turkey border.
On 22 October 2019, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan reached a deal to extend the ceasefire by 150 additional hours for SDF to move 30 kilometers away from the border area as well as from Tal Rifaat and Manbij.
The terms of the deal also included joint Russian–Turkish patrols 10 kilometers into Syria from the border except in the city of Qamishli.
In October 2019, in response to the Turkish offensive, Russia arranged for negotiations between the Syrian government in Damascus and the Kurdish-led forces.
The details of the agreement is unknown, but there are reports that suggest that the SDF will be incorporated into the Syrian Armed Forces and that northeastern Syria will come under direct rule of the Syrian government in Damascus.
According to Syrian Kurdish officials, the deal allows Syrian government forces to take over security in some border areas, but their own administration would maintain control of local institutions.
The prospects for Kurdish autonomy in the region is severely diminished, because the Kurds were exposed to the Turkish-led offensive by the US withdrawal and the Russia-backed Syrian government forces under Assad—whose commonality is enmity towards Turkey and Sunni rebel militias—regained their foothold in northeast Syria after the Kurds had to seek their help.
As announced by Russia's Ministry of Defense on 15 October, Russian forces have started to patrol the region along the line of contact between Turkish and Syrian forces, indicating that Russia is filling the security vacuum from the sudden US withdrawal.
Alexander Lavrentiev, Russia's special envoy on Syria, warned that the Turkish offensive into Syria is unacceptable and stated that Russia is seeking to prevent conflict between Turkish and Syrian troops.
In response to a speech by Assad, the Syrian Democratic Council said it was ready to have positive discussions with the Assad government.
Several US lawmakers have criticized the abandonment of their Kurdish allies, remarking that it undermines US credibility as an ally while benefiting Russia, Iran, and the Syrian regime of Assad.
Meanwhile, several commentators in Moscow have stated that the situation is not in the immediate Russian interests, as the Turkish intervention in Syria clashes with Russia's backing of the Syrian government in the region, but it may provide opportunities for Russia as mediator as the US withdraws from Syria.
Commentators have remarked that, since the US withdrawal, Russia has cemented its status as the key power broker in the Middle East.
Furthermore, US President Trump, as well as US military and diplomatic officials, has cited the NATO membership of Turkey as a key reason that the United States can not be involved in the conflict between the Turkish and Syrian Kurdish forces.
Meanwhile, due to Turkey's strategic position between Europe and the Middle East, the NATO alliance members are in a situation where they have limited themselves to relatively muted criticism.
The U.S. is reviewing the potential withdrawal of its nuclear weapons from Incirlik airbase under NATO's nuclear sharing as a result of the Turkish offensive per NYT.
Russia and Turkey made an agreement via the Sochi Agreement of 2019 to set up a Second Northern Syria Buffer Zone.
Syrian President Assad expressed full support for the deal, as various terms of the agreement also applied to the Syrian government.
Additionally, Syrian Kurdish officials have had some positive discussions with the Assad government, and with local countries such as Saudi Arabia, UAE and Jordan.
The first agreement between SDF and the Assad regime occurred in October 2019, directly as a result of the Turkish incursion.
Some reports stated that Bashar Assad was favorable towards Russia's efforts to restore calm and to stabilize the situation in Syria.
The Russian government has informed the Kurdish factions that they should reconcile and come up with a unified set of demands to clarify to Russia.
Mustafa Bali, head of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said there were some agreements on the ground with the Syrian government, for Syrian forces to be deployed along the border.
The national Syrian government sent representatives to northeast Syria to meet with local groups there in order to address their concerns and to emphasize unity and combined effort to address problems.A meeting occurred in Qamishli city, in northeast Syria, that included Syrian national officials, and delegates from Kurdish, Arab, and Syrian figures and forces.
Luqman Ehmê, spokesman for the North East Syria Autonomous Administration, said that his organization was ready for positive discussions with the Syrian regime.
SDF General Commander Mazlum Abdi has met with local leaders of the Wise Committee, which is composed of leaders of local communities and local family groupings.
SDF Commander Mazlum Abdi called on the US and Russia to help stop Turkey from displacing entire communities and ethnic groups from the areas that it controls.
Erdogan stated that Turkey was ready to resettle the Syrian refugees in the northern area that Turkey had invaded, and that Turkey would pay for it if necessary.
On December 9, 2019, various local accounts indicated that Turkey was moving Syrian refugees into its zone of operations in Northern Syria for the first time.
Russia said it would pledge to remove Turkish forces from a key highway in northern Syria, and replace them with Russian forces to maintain stability.
They have also appointed about 4,000 police officers and other local officials, and are providing some basic local services for citizens.
It was reported that the Russian and Turkish armies had made a deal whereby electricity would be supplied to Tal Abyad by Russia's allies, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) who support Assad; while water would be supplied by the Alouk water station that is controlled by Turkish forces.
It appeared that Turkey was withdrawing all of its forces away from the al-Shirkark silos, which hold important supplies of wheat, this seemed to be a result of Russian mediation.
Experts also said that Bashar Assad had made progress in restoring rule by local councils in areas affected by the conflict.
At the NATO summit in London in December 2019, President Emmanuel Macron of France highlighted major differences with Turkey over the definition of terrorism, and said there was little chance this aspect of the conflict could be resolved positively.
Turkey proposed a safe zone where Syrian refugees could be relocated, but this idea did not receive support from all parties.
Erdogan claimed that a four-way summit on Syria was scheduled to occur in Turkey in February 2020, to include Turkey, Germany, the UK and France.
At a meeting in Damascus, Russian and Syrian officials clearly stated their support for Syria regaining control over all of its territory.
The parties reported that they reached some important understandings at this meeting, including affirming a commitment to work together to respect Syrian territorial integrity.
On November 20, 2019, a new Syrian Constitutional Committee began operating in order to discuss a new settlement and to draft a new constitution for Syria.
At a summit in October 2018, envoys from Russia, Turkey, France and Germany issued a joint statement affirming the need to respect territorial integrity of Syria as a whole.
At the Astana Process meeting in December 2019, a UN official stated that in order for the third round of talks to proceed, co-chairs from the Assad regime and the opposition need to agree on an agenda.
It is unclear if the third round of talks will proceed on a firm schedule, until the Assad regime provides its assent to participate.
It is the first full season with Stephen O'Donnell as manager, having taken over from Harry Kenny on the 31st August 2019.
Jean-Claude Weill is the son of Jean-Paul Weill, a lawyer at the Paris Court of Appeal, an officer of the Legion of Honour and holder of a war cross (1940–1945), and Denise Maier.
Weill was married to Claudia Duxbury with whom he has a daughter Samantha Weill-Philippe (a psychoanalyst), and he subsequently married the lawyer, Frederique Pons.
Weill's entire career has been spent in collaboration with Claude-Agnès Reynaud, who she met in Klaus Sherrer's laboratory at the Institut Jacques Monod, he is interested in the mechanisms of formation of the immunoglobulin repertoire, highlighting new mechanisms such as gene conversion in birds, or the use of the somatic hypermutation process in ruminants in the formation of the preimmune repertoire.
Their more recent work has focused on the molecular mechanisms of the hypermutation process of immunoglobulin genes, by describing the role played by mutagenic DNA polymerases in this process, as well as the mechanisms of immune memory formation, and the description of lymphocyte subpopulations in humans with similarities in their formation mode to that of B cells described in birds or ruminants.
Passing By is a 73-minute studio album of contemporary art songs and duets composed by Jake Heggie, performed by Isabel Bayrakdarian, Zheng Cao, Joyce DiDonato, Susan Graham, Paul Groves, Keith Phares and Frederica von Stade with Dawn Harms (violin), CarlaMaria Rodrigues (viola), Emil Miland (cello) and Heggie himself at the piano.
Beginning in a nervous hope that she may be about to discover her soul mate, she gradually becomes angrier and angrier as it dawns on her that he might have seen her from a distance and decided to stand her up.
The aim of the cycle is to present the experience of a single day as a metaphor for an entire life.
It was premiered by soprano Michèle Bogdanowicz, mezzo-soprano Tamara Mumford and pianist Vlad Iftinca in the John B. Harza Building's Bennett Gordon Hall on 8 August 2007.
It is about how, having lost his father to suicide at the age of ten, Heggie coped with his personal problems by imagining the conversations with his father that he was unable to have in reality.
When Heggie was studying music at the University of California at Los Angeles, Johana Harris (1912-1995), the elderly Canadian pianist who taught, mentored and married him, introduced him to the poetry of A. E. Housman and Vachel Lindsay.
In later life Heggie conceived the idea of shaping a selection of their verse into a narrative that would reflect both their personal histories and his own.
The cycle's baritone, a traveller, goes back to the place where he grew up in the hope of reconciling with his friend (a tenor) who had declared a homosexual love for him that he had spurned.
On returning to his home, he discovers that his friend has died, that the backdrop of his youth has been transformed and that he has become a stranger there.
Part of the cycle was adapted from songs that Heggie wrote at UCLA in 1987, and some from work that he did at Edenfred, an artistic residency and community centre, now closed, that the Terry family instituted in 2004 in Madison, Wisconsin.
He felt that a real-life, twentieth-century Ophelia might well have felt a kinship with Edna St. Vincent Millay, and that the three unrelated Millay poems that he selected for his cycle were apt for telling Ophelia's story.
The cover of the album was designed by its art director, Alan Trugman, and features a photograph by Jay Elliott of jayelliottphoto.com.
His instrumentalists might not be quite as famous, but their playing was just as accomplished as the vocalism of their starrier colleagues.
Heggie was one of the few composers brave enough to tell a story about a man trying to reestablish a friendship from which he had recoiled because of a fear of homosexuality.
The last track on the album, a setting of the monologue that concluded Terrence McNally's play about Maria Callas, was allocated to Joyce DiDonato.
Some people might wonder whether this item qualified as a song at all, but Susan Graham and Frederica von Stade manifestly enjoyed singing it and made for a happy partnership.
It was accompanied by a 36-page booklet including the texts of the songs, notes by Heggie, biographies of the performers, a photograph of Bayrakdarian and Heggie by Dario Acosta and ten session photographs by Janna Waldinger of Arts & Clarity.

This forced the local shepherds to carry fire arms in order to defend cattle and sheep from neighbouring enemies or thieves.
In Albanian romanticism, it is common to imagine the shepherd carrying a rifle instead of a staff where the rifle secures the property symbolised by the staff.
Carrying a fire arm of this type was considered necessary for self-defence as Albanian inhabited lands were often under pressure from Ottoman, Montenegrin and Serb invasions and attacks.
In 1909, Edith described that some Albanians believed that the Mausier revolver was harmless and asked her to shoot one of them in the hand.
As Ottoman pressure increased, Albanian Tosk and Ghegh chieftains began converting to Islam not out of religious preference but in order to keep their arms and lands.
During the Greek war independence in Morea, the Albanian's biggest ambitions were to acquire a pair of pistol, a rifle, a yataghan and a dagger which they during the Napoleonic war purchased from the French and British gun smiths.
Franz Nopcsa studied Albanian gun culture amongst the Gheghs in Northern Albania and noted that there was a correlation between the size of the gun and male honour referring to an example of an Albanian highlander who after hitting his target proceeded to kiss his rifle.
Michal Mochtak writes that social cleaveges and authoritarianism after the fall of communism in Albania contributed to the intensifying of an Albanian gun culture.

Paul Chitwood (born 1970) is an American Baptist minister who is the 13th and current president of the International Mission Board, serving since 2018.
Born in LaFollette, Tennessee, Chitwood graduated from Cumberland College (now the University of the Cumberlands) in Williamsburg, Kentucky, in 1992 and began pastoring his first church a year later.
He joined the seminary's faculty in 2002 and was also chosen as a trustee of the Southern Baptist Convention's International Mission Board that year.
At the expiration of his term, he continued his work as pastor of First Baptist Church in Mount Washington, Kentucky, and with the International Mission Board.
Under Chitwood, Sunrise tripled the number of children it served, and Chitwood and his wife became foster parents for a young girl in Sunrise's care, eventually adopting her.
He was immediately confronted with a report of past unreported or mishandled sexual abuse cases within the IMB, and promised to implement the recommendations of an independent law firm charged with investigating the reports.
Throughout his ministry, Chitwood has opposed the employment of homosexual people by Baptist churches and organizations, expansion of gambling in Kentucky, and the expansion of sales of alcoholic beverages.
His parents divorced when he was two years old, and his father, who maintained custody of Chitwood and his brothers, moved to Jellico, Tennessee.
Despite a fear of public speaking, Chitwood became a minister and preached his first sermon on a Wednesday night at his home church after the pastor had resigned.
In 1992, Chitwood earned a Bachelor of Science degree in religion with a minor in biblical language at Cumberland College (now the University of the Cumberlands) in Williamsburg, Kentucky.
He later attended the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, where he earned the Master of Divinity in 1995 and a doctorate degree in 2001.
They have a daughter, Cai, who they adopted from an orphanage in China, and a daughter, Lilly, who they adopted in 2018 after serving as her foster parents for three years through Sunrise Children's Services, a ministry of the Kentucky Baptist Convention.
That same year, he became a trustee of the International Mission Board, and he was chosen president of the Kentucky state pastors' conference.
The conservative York had been elected the previous year in a close vote of 686 to 627 over Rusty Ellison, who was seen as a moderate candidate.
DeFoor published a letter decrying the rise of fundamentalism within the KBC and saying that Chitwood was the choice of the fundamentalists; he later clarified that he did not know Chitwood personally very well, and was not accusing him of being a fundamentalist.
Critics asked then-Governor Ernie Fletcher to use his line-item veto power to remove an $11 million state budget allocation for a new pharmacy school at the University of the Cumberlands because of the expulsion, but Fletcher, an ordained Baptist minister, declined.
In 2010, then-president of the Kentucky Baptist Convention Don Mathis asked Chitwood to consider becoming a candidate for executive director of the KBC, replacing retiring executive director Bill Mackey.
On May 12, the committee recommended Chitwood for the position, and on June 2, he was elected by a vote of 88–7.
In May 2012, Chitwood announced a major reorganization of the KBC, focusing more resources on starting new churches, strengthening existing churches, and reaching individuals who did not attend church.
In 2016, the KBC announced that member churches had contributed $22.3 million to the Southern Baptist Convention through the Cooperative Program, more than any other year in the organization's history.
During his time as executive director, Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear proposed legalizing casino gambling in the state as a means of raising revenue for the state treasury.
Chitwood opposed this effort, recording an ad broadcast on Christian radio stations and distributing a video to Southern Baptist churches in Kentucky urging them to resist the governor's proposal.
In 2014, controversy arose in the Kentucky Baptist Convention when Bill Smithwick, CEO of the KBC-operated Sunrise Children's Services, proposed dropping the restriction on the employment of homosexual people by Sunrise.
Although Sunrise's board ultimately rejected the proposal and Smithwick resigned as CEO, many Southern Baptist churches in the state withheld their usual donations to the ministry out of fear that the proposal would succeed.
Following Smithwick's resignation, Chitwood announced a fundraising campaign intended to raise $5 million to make up for the shortfall produced by the withheld offerings.
During his tenure as KBC executive director, Sunrise Children's Services expanded to serve 1,300 children, triple the number served at the beginning of his tenure.
During Chitwood's term, Campbellsville University severed its covenant agreements with the KBC in order to gain more autonomy over its affairs.
In 2017, Chitwood opined that the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, an organization to which some Southern Baptist churches also belong, would be taking a step in the wrong direction if it were to soften its stance on hiring practicing homosexuals.
The KBC formed a committee to monitor the CBF's policies at its meeting in November 2017, and CBF lifted its ban on employing homosexual people in February 2018.
On November 6, 2018, he announced his candidacy for president of the International Mission Board, a position vacated by the resignation of David Platt in September 2018.
He was endorsed by Al Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; Kevin Ezell, president of the North American Mission Board; and Sandra Wisdom-Martin, executive director of the Woman's Missionary Union.
At the 2019 meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention, a report was presented by the law firm of Gray Plant Mooty regarding allegations of sexual abuse within the Southern Baptist Convention generally and the IMB generally.
On the day the report was released, Chitwood published a statement on the IMB web site apologizing for the past incidents and promising to adopt the policy recommendations contained in the report.

Leconte de Lisle introduced her to the other poets belonging to the Parnassians movement, and soon she and her husband became part of vibrant literary circles in Paris.
Although Séché found its tone to be more serious, he said it contained more emphasis on ideas and less on feelings.
Following the traditions she learned in the Paris salons, Hersent-Penquer organized literary soirees at her home in Brest, where she also read from her latest works, as she had in Paris.
Together with her husband Auguste (who served as mayor of Brest from 1871 to 1881), they founded an art museum (Musée des Beaux-Arts of Brest) in 1875 and arranged funding for it from the municipality.

Filomeno do Nascimento Vieira Dias (born April 18, 1958 in Luanda) is an Angolan prelate of the Catholic Church who is currently archbishop of Luanda.
Vieira Dias belongs to an illustrious Angolan family with strong links to the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA).
Vieira Dias studied in the Capuchin minor seminary in Luanda and in the major seminary of Cristo Rei in Huambo and was ordained on October 30, 1983.
He holds a doctorate in theology from the Pontifical Lateran University and a licenciate in philosophy from the Pontifical Gregorian University.
He is a member of the fiscal council of the Association of Portuguese Language Universities, the Angola Educational Assistance Fund, and the Scientific Society of the Catholic University of Portugal.
Before being ordained a bishop, Dias was a parish and administrative vicar, including in a parish in Northern Cabinda Province; a canon; and a lecturer in philosophy, fundamental theology, African history, African philosophy, contemporary philosophy, and theological ethics.
Vieira Dias was appointed auxiliary bishop of Luanda by John Paul II on October 4, 2003 and installed on January 11, 2004.
Because he was not from Cabinda and because of his family links to the regime of José Eduardo dos Santos, Vieira Dias’s appointment was controversial and was met with massive protests by Cabindan Catholics.
The Episcopal Conference of Angola and São Tomé (CEAST) decried the opposition of Cabindan Catholics to Vieira Dias's nomination and warned against the politicization of the Church in Cabinda.
In Vieira Dias's absence, Eugenio Dal Corso, then the bishop of Saurímo, was sent to Cabinda in July to become apostolic administrator of the diocese.
On July 18, he was beaten while preparing to celebrate mass at the church of the Immaculate Conception and had to be taken to the hospital.
Raul Tati, protested against this move by writing to the Vatican with a request for Dal Corso's resignation, Dal Corso dismissed Tati from his position.
Meanwhile, the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda stated that it held CEAST responsible for the confrontation and implied that the bishops' conference was being manipulated by the Angolan government.
Papal nuncio Giovanni Angelo Becciu emphasized that Vieira Dias's nomination was a matter of papal prerogative and would not be revoked.
On October 5, 2019, Pope Francis made Eugenio dal Corso, the Italian-born bishop emeritus of the Angolan dioceses of Saurímo and Benguela, a cardinal.

The Lincoln University Entomology Research Collection is a collection of approximately 500,000 insect, spider, and other arthropod specimens housed in Lincoln University, New Zealand.
The insect collection at Lincoln University, New Zealand can be traced back to the first days of its existence as the School of Agriculture, Canterbury University College.
In the first two years, natural science was taught by Frederick W. Hutton, at that time Professor of Biology at Canterbury College and later director of the Canterbury Museum, who had half his salary paid by the school.
He presented an insect collection to the institution, some elements of which still remain including their original drawers; these formed the nucleus of the current research collections.
The entomology collection initially consisted mostly of boxes of specimens used for teaching, and was supplemented through light-trapping on campus in the Orchard Car Park.
For years they led and took part in annual departmental summer field trips all over New Zealand; the first of these was a collecting trip to Mt Cook in 1969, followed by expeditions to the West Coast, Stewart Island, D'Urville Island, Fiordland, Central Otago, and many other locations, with a focus on areas that were entomologically poorly-known.
Emberson and others also made substantial collections in their free time for the benefit of what was then known as the Entomology Research Museum.
The collection moved to the newly-completed Hilgendorf Wing in 1968, and the newly-formed Department of Entomology under Professor Harrison had a room set aside for the Entomology Museum, under the care of technician Margaret McPherson.
The Department then moved to the Burns Wing in 1976; while under construction, an entire floor of the Burns building was reallocated to Wool Science, and the Entomology Museum layout had to be redesigned by Peter Pottinger in 24 hours to fit into the remaining fifth-floor space.
After Muir's departure in 1990, John Marris took over as curator, and has continued in this role to the present day.
Initially known as the Lincoln University Research Museum, the collection's primary purpose was building class collections for student study, but as it grew from numerous collecting expeditions it became a substantial research and reference collection, and changed its name in the 2010s to reflect this.
In 2007 the collection was moved from wooden storage boxes to 1300 glass-topped Cornell specimen drawers, a move that likely saved the collection from significant damage in the 2010 Canterbury earthquake.
The only university entomology collection in New Zealand, the collection contains over 250,000 pinned insect specimens, including over 70 holotypes and a large collection of specimens in ethanol.
It is one of the largest and most diverse insect collections in New Zealand, smaller than the National Arthropod Collection at Landcare Research and comparable in size to holdings at Te Papa.
The collection is strongest in South Island species, especially from the West Coast and Southern Alps, with collections from the Chatham Islands, Three Kings, and subantarctic islands.
The following are some publications that are based heavily on the Entomology Research Collections, including taxonomic surveys citing its type specimens.

On December 10, 2019, a shooting was perpetrated at a kosher grocery store located in the Greenville section of Jersey City, New Jersey, in the United States.
A Jersey City Police Department detective was shot and killed by the assailants at a nearby cemetery just before the grocery store attack.
New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal stated that evidence indicated the attacks were acts of hate and domestic terrorism fuelled both by anti-Semitism and anti-law enforcement beliefs.
On December 10, 2019, police detective Joseph Seals (who was meeting an informant) encountered two persons at the Bayview Cemetery in Jersey City, New Jersey.
It is believed that he approached the suspects, who were in a stolen U-Haul van that was linked to a murder the previous weekend of 34-year-old Jersey City resident Michael Rumberger in nearby Bayonne, New Jersey.
The suspects then fled in the stolen van and drove about one mile to a kosher grocery store, the JC Kosher Supermarket in the Greenville section of Jersey City, and opened fire upon exiting the vehicle.
At approximately 12:21 p.m., while wearing tactical gear they entered the store and fatally shot an owner, a worker, and a customer.
In the ensuing shootout, the assailants exchanged gunfire with the police for over an hour until they were shot and killed.
The van was later found to contain a live pipe bomb that had the capacity to kill or injure people up to 500 yards away.
Three civilians were also killed: 33-year-old female store owner Mindy Ferencz, 49-year-old male employee Douglas Miguel Rodriguez, and 24-year-old male rabbinical student customer Moshe Deutsch.
Two officers, one male and one female, were wounded in the shootout and were released from the hospital the same day.
On December 11, the shooters, both of whom were killed by police during the siege, were identified as David Nathaniel Anderson (age 47) and his girlfriend Francine Graham (age 50).
Anderson and Graham were suspects in the murder of Uber driver Michael Rumberger in Bayonne the weekend prior to the attack.
Rumberger's blood was found on a bible that belonged to the assailants, and his DNA was on their clothes and one weapon.
Anderson and Graham were also suspects in an incident a week before the Jersey City shooting, when on December 3 two shots were fired at a vehicle driven by a person clearly identifiable as being Jewish, on U.S. Route 1/9 near Newark and Elizabeth, New Jersey.
Graham’s phone was in the area at the time of the shooting, and the ballistics matched a gun linked to the two assailants, it was later determined.
His language was linked to that used by the Black Hebrew Israelite movement, which has no connection to mainstream Judaism, the extremist fringe of which includes numerous hate groups listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The Jersey City Medical Center, 12 Jersey City Public Schools in the vicinity as well as that of Sacred Heart Church, located across the street, were on lock-down during the incident.
Governor of New Jersey Phil Murphy expressed his condolences, his thoughts and prayers for police, residents, and school children, and praise for the slain detective in a series of tweets.
On December 12, 2019, US Representative Rashida Tlaib released a tweet on her personal account blaming the attack on white supremacy, which was later deleted.

Before World War II, her parents were members of the SDAP (predecessor of the PvdA) and she was then a member of the Arbeiders Jeugd Centrale (AJC).

Malikat Agha was a Mongol princess as well as one of the empresses of Shah Rukh, ruler of the Timurid Empire.
Her husband was Umar Shaikh Mirza I, the eldest son of Timur, while her sister, Tuman Agha, later became the wife of Timur himself.
Following Umar Shaikh's death in 1394, she was subsequently remarried to his younger brother Shah Rukh, through whom she had one further son, Soyughatmish.
In spite of her exalted lineage, upon Shah Rukh's ascension to the throne, Malikat only acted as a junior wife, with the chief empress being the non-royal Gawhar Shad, the daughter of one of Timur's close followers.
In fact, it may have been because of these elder sons, most of whom had rebelled in the early years of Shah Rukh's reign, that Malikat had a lower position.
This subordinate role even extended to Soyughatmish, who, in comparison to the sons of Gawhar Shad, received a lower military posting from his father, serving in the relatively isolated governorship of Kabul.
One of the first madrassahs in Herat to specialise in teaching medicine was also established under her patronage, alongside a similar institution in Balkh which further served as a caravansary.
It was in this last structure that she was eventually buried, having predeceased her husband, but outliving several of her sons.

He was director of the Grill Trading House, one of the leading companies in the East India trade through the Swedish East India Company (SOIC).
One of the notable Grill family, Claes Grill was born in Stockholm, the son of Abraham Grill and Helena Wittmack and twin brother to Anthoni Grill.
Grill started to work for his father and at the age of 17 when he was employed at Abraham's office in the Grill Trading House.
After the death of his father, Grill became director of the Trading House, and ran the company together with his uncle Carlos.
After the death of Carlos (1681-1736), he was sole head of the firm until 1747, when his half-brother joined him as partner.
Since the family had connections to the Netherlands, Grill went there in 1731 or 1732, to further his education and gain more experience with the trading business.
The Dutch Grill company, Antoni Grill & Sons based in Amsterdam acted as a centre for payments to the Grill trading house in Stockholm.
The Anglo-Swedish company run by Andrew & Charles Lindegren in London handled all the exports, shipping documents, vessel clearances, and insurance for the Grill Trading House.
During the second charter of the SOIC between 1746 and 1766, the Grill Trading House was one of the leading companies in the East India trade.
Since the company was connected to so many other trading houses, they could issue bills of exchange for travelers and diplomats to be redeemed at trading houses in other countries.
Under the direction of Grill, the trading house acquired several factories and ironworks: Söderfors 1748, Österbybruk with the Dannemora mine (1750) and Iggesund (1753).
Imports consisted of salt from Portugal, oak and hemp from the Baltic states, also wine, coffee, sugar, cheese, tobacco and textiles.
Grill ran his companies in an old-fashioned, patriarchal way writing letters every week to his managers at the estates concerning everything from the running of the factories to making enquiries about individual employees.
With the building of the manor in Österbybruk, it became the hub for all the iron and mining activities of the Grill Trading House, although Grill and his family did not live there permanently.
They lived in the Grill house in Stockholm until 1764, when he bought the Torstensonska Palace (now known as the Arvfurstens palats) at Gustav Adolfs torg, Stockholm.
Grill was an art collector and his houses were decorated with Chinese objects as well as paintings by Swedish and Dutch masters like Alexander Roslin, Gustaf Lundberg, Hans Memling and David Teniers.
Imported porcelain broken in transit from China or by daily household use became decorative gravel used on the garden paths at one of the Grills' estates.
Grill was interested in natural science and contributed to different projects, such as helping Carl Linnaeus financially and with the collection of plants and animal specimens from foreign lands.
He gave financial support to young scientists and naturalists, lent money (without interest) to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for the construction of an observatory, contributed a substantial sum of money to the Danviken Hospital and saved the Sveriges Riksbank (the central bank of Sweden) from bankruptcy in 1747 by buying banknotes at their nominal value.
In 1755, he was one of the initiating founders of the Factory Academy, a social network for factory owners in central Sweden.
Between 1748 and 1750, Grill was a member of the Bourgeoisie in the Riksdag of the Estates and politically involved with the Hats.
When the Hats regained their political power in the Riksdag the following year, the sentence was revoked, but by then Grill had died.

Spartak Braho (born July 17, 1951) is an Albanian politician and member of the Parliament, currently representing the Socialist Party of Albania.
A former judge in communist times, Spartak Braho was involved in various controversies, where he accused former political prisoners as collaborators as neo-fascists and as people who are trying to dishonor the National War Against Nazi-Fascist Occupations.
During an interview for the Kujto.al portal, former political prisoner Gjergj Hani confessed that he was convicted in 1985 on charges of national treason, in an attempt to cross the Albanian border.
According to testimony, his conviction was signed by Spartak Braho, then a judge of the military college during the communist dictatorship.
In 2019,he also accused Agron Tufa of insulting the anti-fascist resistance during WWII through the publication of books that claim that war crimes were committed by Communist guerrilla fighters.
The public discourse, public threats from Braho and other figures forced Tufa to resign as head of the Institute of the Study of the Crimes of Communism and flee to Switzerland, where he also asked for political asylum.

Kousri has a Tunisian degree which licences her to practice law and she studied for a masters in Sweden, with a dissertation that focused on digital technology and social change.
She says her political activism is a product of her family's struggles against former the authoritarian president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
Kousri began activism against sexual harassment in Tunisian society while a law student, reporting cases to the police despite their dismissive attitude.
Her political journalism has commented on a variety of subjects including: support for presidential candidate Hamma Hammami, the arrest of blogger , the assassination of Shaimaa al-Sabbagh who was leader of the Popular Socialist Alliance in Egypt, democracy in Tunisia, on human rights activist , on politician Houcine Abassi, as well as other topics.
She has added a voice of criticism to the work of Tunisian politicians and Monia Ibrahim to oppose laws that would expand women's rights in the country.
As a law student, Kousri spoke out against the Islamist government and how Tunisia's politics needed to move to the left.
As of November 2019, the movement's Facebook group had over 21,600 members; it is a place where protest is organised and also provides a safe space for testimony from survivors.
Kousri described the success of the movement as owing a debt to the way that women in Egypt had spoken out for their own civil rights.
She also credits the power of #EnaZeda in gathering momentum quickly - previous campaigns about harassment on public transport by feminist organisations did not capture the imagination of women in Tunisia in the same way.
Kousri has discussed how she observed that after the uprisings of December 2010, sexual violence against women increased and became more violent.
The movement reveals the scale of the problem and shows that silencing victims does not solve problems of sexual aggression in societies.
Kousri is a co-coordinator with the Association Tunisienne des Femmes Démocrates (Tunisian Association of Democratic Women, ATFD), a feminist campaign organisation.
She was a joint signatory with the Coalition for Sexual and Bodily Rights in Muslim Societies (CSBR) in an open letter to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan condemning the murder and torture of Hande Kader.
In 2017, she spoke out on behalf of the organisation against the law that bans marriage between Muslim women and non-Muslims in Tunisia.
In 2019, she led a campaign encouraging the state to re-engage with women's reproductive health as a concern - with cuts in funding, women's access to contraception had declined.
We carried out the revolution, and we refuse to go on being harassed, punished, or pushed around for what we do in the bedroom.

She led a discussion about LGBTQIA+ in Africa with Kasha Nabagesera from Uganda, South African Yahia Zaidi, Alimi Bisi Ademola from Nigeria and Michèle Ndoki from Cameroon.
In recent years the Parliament Oak was threatened by fly-tipping and competing vegetation but was subject to conservation work in 2008.
King John stayed at the palace from around the time of his 1199 accession for hunting in Clipstone Park, part of Sherwood Forest.
The Parliament Oak is thought to date from around this time, being of comparable age to the Major Oak, which has been estimated to be 800–1000 years old.
It is said that John hastily assembled a parliament at the tree in 1212 upon being informed, whilst hunting, that revolts against his rule had broken out in Wales and Northern England.
He is thought to have decreed that 28 Welsh boys held as hostages at Nottingham Castle were to be put to death as a consequence.
Edward is also said to have assembled a parliament at the tree on Michaelmas (29 September) 1290, whilst travelling to Scotland.
It is thought this story is more likely to be true than the legend of John's parliament; it was not uncommon for parliaments to be held outdoors in this period, particularly when discussing matters such as the royal forests.
By 1843 it stood on the Ollerton high road, at a point from Ollerton and on the fringe of what remained of Sherwood Forest.
It measured in circumference at a height of from the ground and had a large hollow within it that could accommodate six men.
The Parliament Oak was owned at this time by William Bentinck, 4th Duke of Portland who feared it was in danger of dying.
The tree stands at the edge of Clipstone Forest, in an access off the A6075 and is looked after by The Sherwood Forest Trust.
Its proximity to the road has placed it at risk of damage and it has previously been threatened by fly-tipping and overgrowth of nearby vegetation.
A £35,000 project led by The Sherwood Forest Trust and Nottinghamshire County Council was carried out in summer 2008 to restore the area, plant of new hedgerow, construct two car parking spaces and install an information plaque.
The Parliament Oak has been described as relatively unknown when compared with the Major Oak but was shortlisted for the 2017 Woodland Trust Tree of the Year award.

Moshiashvili went to Hameiri Elementary in the city, and subsequently to Nehalim Yeshiva next to Petah Tikva, where he studied under Rabbi Menachem Hirsch.
It became successful due to its business model of charging customers based on the latter's revenue, instead of a fixed price.
This business was done in the shadow of the dot-com bust, which left a lot of Internet infrastructure unused—which Ben-Moshe was able to buy at heavily reduced prices.
He continued to do business in Germany and Europe through Extra Holding, a holding company that manages his business on the continent.
On December 17, 2013, Ben-Moshe and his partner Eduardo Elsztain took over IDB Group, a major Israeli holding company, from Nochi Dankner.
Ben-Moshe placed an ILS 600 million guarantee for the deal to go through, and committed to investing over ILS 1 billion more in the company.
At least two legal opinions pertaining to the court deliberations over the IDB sale said that they could not be sure that Ben-Moshe was indeed the sole owner of Extra Holding, casting doubt on his ability to enter as a partner in IDB.
The two each wanted to take full control of the group, and following arbitration proceedings, Elsztain bought out Ben-Moshe's shares in the company.
In 2017 he decided to buy yet another troubled company, Africa Israel Investments, but after 18 months of negotiations he was beaten out by a partnership of real estate companies Mega Or and Big Shopping Centers.
Rotkiske v. Klemm, 589 U.S. ___ (2019), was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States involving the statute of limitations under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act of 1977.
The Court ruled that the statute of limitations begins one year after the alleged FDPCA violation took place, not one year after the violation was discovered by the plaintiff.
In 1977, Congress enacted the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDPCA), a landmark consumer protection law which established federal legal protections against abusive or unfair debt collection practices.
It enacted regulations on the way debt collectors could conduct business, including requirements for serving notice of collection lawsuits to debtors.
The FDPCA is enforced by a variety of federal agencies, primarily the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
The FDPCA also establishes a private right of action; this allows private individuals who are harmed by unlawful debt collection practices to file lawsuits against the debt collector on their own.
(That is, the statute of limitations can be 'tolled' (paused) for a period of time, granting one party additional time to file a lawsuit).
Even if a statute doesn't explicitly contain a provision for tolling, courts can sometimes toll a statute of limitations under the principle of equity, generally when the plaintiff -- through no fault of their own -- was denied their ability to file suit in a timely manner.
However, it served the notification of the lawsuit to an old address, where a stranger at that address accepted the notification.
In 2009, Klemm filed suit for the second time, sending the notification of the lawsuit the same address as in 2008 where, again, a stranger accepted the notification.
Rotkiske argued that Klemm had violated by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act when it filed its second lawsuit against him in 2009, after the state-law statute of limitations had expired.
He argued that Klemm should not have even attempted to contact him when it knew it did not have the legal ability to collect.
Klemm responded by filing a motion to dismiss, arguing that the FDPCA provides a 1-year statute of limitations for private suits, which had long expired by 2015.
However, in his filing he argued that the doctrine of equitable tolling meant that the statute of limitations should not have begun until 2014 (when he discovered the default judgment while applying for his mortgage).
He argued that the doctrine of equitable tolling applied to his case because Klemm committed fraud by deliberately sending the notification of the 2009 lawsuit to an address that they knew was incorrect, thus depriving him of the ability to appear in court.
He also argued in the alternative that the statute of limitations would not begin until he discovered the default judgment on his record.
The judge ruled that the statute of limitations continues to run even if the plaintiff did not know about the FDPCA violation.
The precedent established by the 3rd Circuit contradicted rulings from the 4th Circuit and the 9th Circuit, each of which had previously held that the statute of limitations begins to toll from the date the violation was discovered, not when it occurred.
On December 10, 2019, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the one-year filing deadline for FDCPA lawsuits runs from the date when the alleged violation occurs.
The opinion noted that Congress could have chosen to include a discovery rule in the law but deliberately chose not to, making it inappropriate for the Supreme Court to add that to the law.
It also noted that, though Rotkiske had made an argument based on equitable tolling and fraud in the District Court, he chose not to raise that argument in his appeal, thus preventing the Supreme Court from addressing it.
She agreed with the majority's interpretation of the FDPCA statute of limitations, but asserted that the fraudulent actions alleged in the complaint should warrant the application of the discovery rule, starting the statute of limitations on the date that he learned of the default judgment (in 2014).
She considers this fraud-based discovery rule distinct from the generic discovery rule rejected by the majority, and would apply it even in cases where the generic discovery rule does not apply.
This ruling upheld the 3rd Circuit's ruling against Rotkiske, and resolved a circuit split between the 3rd Circuit and the 4th and 9th Circuit Courts of Appeal.

In 1975, Oeur and his family members were forced, along with millions of other residents of Phnom Penh, out of the city by the Khmer Rouge.
Grounded in this historical and experiential context, his poems explore what it means to have one’s identity effaced, or to efface one’s own identity to avoid being killed.
He also engages with a spirit of collective anguish left in the aftermath of the rule of the Khmer Rouge, projecting hope in light of the horror and violence he and other Cambodians were subjected to.
Oeur has worked closely with American poet Ken McCullough, whom he met in the Iowa Writers Workshop while the two were classmates.

The peak is situated within Seven Sisters Provincial Park and Protected Area, southeast of Cedarvale, and north of the Seven Sisters Peaks massif and Seven Sisters Glacier.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Orion Peak is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.
It was established in the 1980s by fusion of the various miniature goat populations of the United Kingdom into a single breed.
These were of two principal types: a stocky achondroplastic type derived from the West African Dwarf group of breeds of West Africa; and a small but well-proportioned type derived from the Southern Sudan goat.
Among these there were two principal types: a broad, short-legged, compact and solid achondroplastic type, often blue roan in colour, derived from the West African Dwarf group of breeds of West Africa; and a small but well-proportioned type derived from the Southern Sudan goat.
The breed society is not among those approved by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to operate a herd-book.
In 2018 a population of 2316 head was reported to the DAD-IS breed database of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
The K30 and K30 5G use an anodized aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass on the front and back like the K20.
At the rear, the camera protrusion is now a single unit surrounded by a circular accent, with a dual-LED flash below.
The primary camera has been upgraded from a 48 MP sensor to a 64 MP sensor, while the telephoto lens has been omitted in favor of a macro lens and depth sensor.
The camera array consists of a 64 MP primary sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, a 2 MP dedicated macro camera and a 2 MP depth sensor.
Optical image stabilization is not present on any of the lenses, but the primary lens has PDAF; both devices can record video at 4K@30fps, 1080p@30/120fps or ultra slow-motion 720p@960fps.
However, the screen is an LCD panel as opposed to the AMOLED panel previously used, and as a result the fingerprint sensor is located on the side rather than an in-display optical unit.
Both devices are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 700 series SoCs, with the K30 retaining the K20's Snapdragon 730 and Adreno 618 while the K30 5G receives the newer Snapdragon 765 and Adreno 620.
Storage and RAM options have been carried over from the K20 (64, 128 or 256 GB of UFS 2.1 storage and 6 or 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM) but microSD card expansion is now supported up to 256 GB.
Fast charging is supported for both; the K30 maxes out at 27W while the K30 5G is slightly faster at 30W.
As in the past many candidates stood without party affiliations although an increased number of Labour candidates contested the industrial wards.
In addition, three Guardians were elected to represent the Ammanford Urban District and another three to represent the Cwmamman Urban District, both of which also lay within the remit of the Llandeilo Guardians.
Elected candidates at both Ammanford and Cwmamman stood specifically as Liberals, in contrast to the non-political nature of previous Guardians elections.
Rutherford was born in a small Russian village around 30 kilometers from Chernoby, which was the site of a nuclear disaster in 1986.
Due to her disability, her parents put her up for adoption where she was taken in by an American couple at the age of four.
She qualified for the 2002 IPC World Championships where she set a new world mark in the S10 Women's 100 backstroke.
Rutherford later beat her old world record for the Women's 100 metre backstroke S10 at the 2004 Summer Paralympics, winning gold in the making.
After graduating from high school in 2006, Rutherford accepted a placement at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a major in biomedical engineering.
While Khanam was a student of the University of Dhaka, she served as the Vice-President of Dhaka University Central Students' Union (DUCSU).
NGC 7812 (also known PGC 195) as is a Spiral Galaxy in the constellation Sculptor, though it might look like it is in Pisces if observed at the wrong angle.
At its widest, it measures approximately 100-thousand light years (30660 parsecs) across, and is 315 million light years away from Earth.
It was first described to science in 1846 in a volume by James Dwight Dana, reporting on the animals found on the United States Exploring Expedition.
The buried portion of the column is pink or white, while the part above the substrate, if any, is green or brown.
After his death, Smbat and his older brother Bagrat divided their father's inheritance between them: Bagrat took the regions of Taron, Khoith and Sassoun, i.e.
In 841, for instance, Bagrat had the Armenian bishops depose the Catholicos of Armenia, John IV, but he was promptly re-installed in his see by Smbat with the assistance of the other princes.
Nevertheless, the Armenian princes were able to use the Caliphate's preoccupation with the Khurramite rebellion of Babak Khorramdin to achieve a significant degree of autonomy during this period.
Smbat, who had spent time at the caliphal court as a hostage, was more circumspect about openly challenging Arab power than his brother, but both were ultimately too weak to seriously threaten Abbasid predominance for the time being.
When Khalid ibn Yazid al-Shaybani, who in his previous tenures had become enormously unpopular among both the Christian and the Arab princes of the country, was appointed as caliphal governor in 841, Smbat led the reaction against him.
The rebels achieved his recall by the Caliph and his replacement with the weaker and more pliant Ali ibn Husayn, to whom the Armenians not only refused to hand over the expected taxes, but whom they promptly blockaded in his capital, Bardaa.
When Caliph al-Wathiq () reappointed Khalid as governor, Smbat was again at the forefront of a revolt against him, alongside the Muslim rebel Sawada ibn Abd al-Hamid al-Jahhafi and Sahak, Prince of Syunik.
The All-MLB Team is an annual Major League Baseball (MLB) honor given to the best players across both leagues at each position during the season.
Selections to the first and second teams are determined by a fan vote and a panel consisting of media members, former players, and baseball officials.
Plans for the all-MLB team were announced on November 25, 2019, with the first edition of the all-MLB teams being announced at the 2019 Winter Meetings in San Diego.
The roster of each team consists of one catcher, four infielders (one for each position), three outfielders regardless of position, five starting pitchers, and two relief pitchers: one being the recipient of the Reliever of the Year Award and the other being another closer, usually the saves leader in each league if the saves leader is not the Reliever of the Year winner.
Adolf (Adolph) Ulric Grill (19 March 17521 October 1797) was a Swedish ironworks owner and scientific collector of animals and fossils for his cabinet of curiosities at Söderfors Manor, Tierp Municipality, Uppsala County, Sweden.
He married his cousin, Anna Johanna (1753–1809) in Stockholm on 7June 1778, they had one son who died at an early age.
Initially the factory's main products were anchors but with additions and improvements to the facilities he expanded into the production of wrought and pig iron amongst other goods.
Like his father, he was a natural scientist and he collected mounted animals, fossils, minerals and plants in a museum, started in 1783, at the Söderfors manor.
He was able to use his connections through his relatives in the trading houses, to send for specimens from Greenland and China.
The collections were also increased during his travels and on a journey to England in 1788, he traded a mounted moose for 60 rare birds.
The collection was displayed as a full size diorama, the centerpiece being a cliff with mounted lions, tigers with cubs, leopards and a number of other animals surrounding the cliff, the largest being a sirenia.
There are also many nods to 80’s technology throughout the music video such as camcorders, karaoke machine, Playstation console, and alarm clock.

The World Bank Group is a large international financial institution that continuously provides loans and grants in order to fund capital projects in poor and developing nations across the globe.
Belarus joined the World Bank back in 1992 and has since then received over $2.5 billion in lending commitments since then and in the form of grant financing, it has received $31 million, with much of this funding going towards programs that include civil society partners.
Currently, Belarus's active portfolio within the World Bank has a total of $933 million, with it containing a total of nine different projects, as well as two more projects that are currently still in preparation in the areas of energy efficiency and higher education.
The majority of this funding has been directed towards the themes of pollution management and environmental health, climate change, and rural services and infrastructures, with the majority of the funding going directly into the central government, other agencies and extractives, and forestry sectors of the country, as well as sustainable energy.
Belarus has seen much economic struggle in the past and has struggled to recover from past economic collapses, especially with the collapse of the USSR socialist system making it one of the poorest countries in Europe at the time with around 50% of the population living below the poverty line.
In the year 2000, people living within poverty was at a high of 60%, but was drastically cut to below 1% by 2013 as Belarus experienced much of its financial growth between the years of 2006-2011 as expenditures amongst the bottom 40% of the population actually increased during the financial crisis.
However, even with much of its economic advances, Belarus has since then remained on the decline due to weakness in exports and final consumption, as well as large public debt.
Despite its efforts for economic growth, Belarus has long struggled with a relatively low Gross Domestic Product per capita and continues to even today due to low productivity growth and worsening external environment.
Belarus's last record of Gross Domestic Product per capita has it at 6744.50 US dollars back in 2018 and a GNI per capita of 5,670.
Belarus has an investment portfolio within the World Bank with a total of 40 projects having been funded, totaling over $2.5 billion with two new projects underway, in association with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA).
The majority of funding has been directed towards the sectors of the central government, other agencies and extractives, and forestry, as well as sustainable energy.
Belarus's current Country Partnership Framework for the fiscal years of 2018-2022 was encouraged and endorsed by the World Bank Board of Directors on April 3,2018 with its emphasis on: improving the contribution of infrastructure to climate change management, economic growth, and human development, creating opportunities to expand the private sector and promote more efficient public investment, as well as maintaining country's human capital edge.
However, even with much work and projects underway to help stimulate economic growth, the World Bank projects growth in Belarus to be at best, 1.5% in 2019 and between 2020-2021 the poverty headcount is expected to remain flat, in relation to still positive, but much weaker economic growth, as well as fewer increases in real wages.
The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA) have provided Belarus with about $1.988 billion in total commitments towards utility efficiency, sustainable energy, education, forestry, finance, and others across the total of 19 projects.
The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has provided Belarus about $285 million in the sectors of tourism, retail and property, manufacturing, financial institutions and others across a portfolio of 18 projects.
The Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) has awarded Belarus a total of $243.5 million in guarantees to finance 3 projects, all being towards the financial sector in the country.
World Bank involvement in Belarus recently has lowered its economic growth forecast from 1.8 to 1.5 percent in 2019, as well as its relatively un-changed forecast for 2020-2021 being at 1.3 and 1.2 percent.
An adaptation of the novel by Danièle Sallenave, the film stars Ron Lea as Pierre, an academic at the Université de Sherbrooke who is torn between his marriage to Annie (Johanne-Marie Tremblay) and his extramarital affair with the younger Laure (Pascale Bussières).
The film premiered at the 1992 Montreal World Film Festival, where it was named the most popular Canadian film of the festival and Bussières won the award for Best Actress.
The film received five Genie Award nominations at the 13th Genie Awards, for Best Adapted Screenplay (Leduc and Yvon Rivard), Best Cinematography (Pierre Mignot), Best Art Direction/Production Design (Louise Jobin), Best Costume Design (Michèle Hamel) and Best Sound Editing (Jérôme Décarie, Diane Boucher, Michel Bordeleau, Francine Poirier and Claude Beaugrand).

However the action of the opera is based on a love triangle between entirely fictional characters; Thomyris’ son prince Orontes and the Armenian king Tigranes, who are rivals for the affections of the Persian princess Cleora.
The original 1707 version of the opera concludes when Thomyris intervenes to prevent the Scythians from sacrificing Cleora; she has received false news of Orontes’s death, while Tigranes is wounded in battle.
In the 1709 version, Orontes reveals to the wounded Tigranes that Cleora, captured as a baby and brought up by Cyrus as his own daughter, is in fact Thomyris’ daughter and thus his own sister.
The recitatives for the opera were composed by Johann Christoph Pepusch, who also adapted the 56 arias in the work from music by Francesco Gasparini, Giovanni Bononcini, Alessandro Scarlatti and Agostino Steffani.
The original cast were Pepusch’s future wife Margherita de L'Epine, soprano (Thomyris), Francis Hughs, countertenor (Orontes), (later replaced by Valentino Urbani) Catherine Tofts (Cleora), Mr Lawrence, tenor (Tigranes), Richard Leveridge, bass, (Baldo) and Mary Lindsey, soprano (Media).
The subscribers wished to hear him singing in Italian, so he did, with the other parts in the opera still performed in English.
By the time of its 1709 revival two more Italian singers had been added to the cast, and they too had their arias translated from English into Italian.
Walsh was obliged to reduce the price of his edition in 1707 when John Cullen published a rival one, and he discounted it again in 1709 in the face of rival editions.
Margherita de L'Epine was moved to the male role of Tigranes, while the title role of Thomyris was undertaken by Haym’s wife, Joanna Maria Linchenham.
This time the main attraction was the famous and very expensive castrato Nicolini appearing as Tigranes, on 17, 21 and 24 November, 6 and 20 December 1709, and 3 January and 23 February 1710.

Rarmani River Miguel Joseph Edmonds-Green (born 14 April 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays for Huddersfield Town as an defender.
Edmonds-Green was born in Peckham, Greater London, and was previously at the Nike Academy as a youngster before signing for Huddersfield Town on his 17th birthday in January 2016.
He quickly became captain of the under-18's side in the 2016–17 season, before moving up to the under-23's side in 2017.
His first piece of first team action came for Brighouse Town in the Northern Premier League Division One East, where he helped them win the play-offs, but due to an unusual rule regarding the arrangement of teams in their level of the football pyramid, they weren't promoted.
He then was sent on loan by new Huddersfield Town manager Danny Cowley in October 2019, when he joined National League side Bromley, who he played for in 7 games, before being recalled by Huddersfield, where he then made his league debut in a 1–0 win over Charlton Athletic.
Edmonds-Green had made his debut in a 1–0 defeat against Lincoln City (then managed by Cowley) in the Carabao Cup earlier in the season.

Wai-Hong Tham is a Malaysian associate professor at the University of Melbourne and the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI), and joint head of the division of Infectious Disease and Immune Defense.
Tham was involved in work in 2000 with the lab of Barbara Baker on the tobacco mosaic virus resistance gene N in tobacco plants at University of California, Berkeley, using deletion studies to identify important amino acids in the structure of the protein to fight off the virus.
During her PhD Tham studied telomeres of yeast, showing that the localisation of the left telomere of chromosome IV at the periphery of the nuclear membrane was essential for, but not sufficient, to prevent gene expression.
Tham continued to work on yeast for her next project in the lab of Angelika Amon; using strains with individual genes deleted to identify genes involved in the separation of chromosomes during meiosis.
Her further work in the same lab found the binding sites on the CR1 peptide for Rh4, and proved that phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic tails of Rh4 and other invasion proteins (sections of surface membrane proteins inside the cell) were essential for the malaria parasite to be able to penetrate red blood cells.
Pershing, also known as General Pershing, is a giant sequoia located within the Giant Forest Grove of Sequoia National Park, California.

The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) is a de-facto state situated in the northern territory of the Republic of Cyprus.
The world bank recognizes and works with 189 member countries which are allowed to receive funding from various branches of the World Bank such as the IBRD or the IDA.
Due to its uncertain political status, TRNC as a state cannot receive financial funding from any branch of the World Bank.
In its SABER report, the world bank refers to TRNC`s governmental institutions in quotations, in which they specifically state that use of governmental names as it appears in TRNC`s consitution does not suggest a recognition of the state itself.
The main recommendations World Bank officials made in their report was improvements in the budget allocated for job-specific training schemes, setting its socio-economic goals at achievable levels and improving the technology for data collection.
This survey aimed to gather data from both communities and put it into circulation in an effort to promote peace on the island through better informing both the Turkish Cypriot and the Greek Cypriot communities.
The most striking statistic that was obtained during the survey was the 173% increase in the total number of motor vehicles passing the border from the Greek Cypriot side into the Turkish Cypriot territory.
In an interview conducted by a Turkish Cypriot and a Greek Cypriot journalists with Dirk Reinermann, who is the manager of Southern Europe and a team of Economists at the World Bank, Reinermann made remarks about the World Bank`s official position regarding unification on the island.
However, the structural discrepancies between the EU-regulated Greek Cypriot banking and financial sectors relative to the unregulated Turkish Cypriot banking and financial sectors would make economic convergence of the two communities a challenge.
Therefore, the World Bank report has indicated the fact that higher education seems to be a high-potential avenue through which the TRNC could grow economically.
Whilst 60 percent of all students are from Turkey, this provides readily available highly educated labor for both the public and private sectors.
The most important recommendation the report makes is the regulation of the quality of education offered by the Turkish Cypriot authorities.

He married Louvennia Bozman on November 10, 1934, and though they had no children of their own, they raised two younger cousins together.
He was stationed in Europe for three years, and it was in Germany, France, and Austria where he first encountered fine art.
His canes, featuring solo human figures at the head of the cane, were so successful that they were his main wource of income during the Depression, charging between 75 cents and five dollars each.When Willis inherited his father's farm in 1963, he had more space and freedom to create in his own way, and thus began to seriously paint and draw for the first time.
Shortly thereafter, his work was discovered by William Ferris, the director of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi.
He tries to achieve subtle, three-dimensional shifts by painting on different kinds of paper with various thicknesses and collaging them together on the same canvas.
As for the canes that Willis carved, his early ones were carved out of hickory wood, but he later switched to cedar for its suppleness and elasticity.
Willis noted doing his best work during lonely periods, at night in the winter and early spring, in which his imaginary and material worlds could combine.
He covered the surrounding walls with photographs of his family, friends, and community members-- looking to them for inspiration while painting.
Willis's process was just as often motivated by a specific image he could picture in his mind, as it was by a stream of consciousness creativity driven by no preconceived idea.
As a black man living in the Mississippi throughout the 20th Century, Willis saw death and violence affect his community in visceral ways.
This condensed imagery communicates ubiquitous narratives found in his community and the communities of other African American artists living in the rural American South.

Eugene Kelly (November 25, 1808 – December 19, 1894) was an Irish-American merchant, banker, and philanthropist, who founded corporations in San Francisco and New York City.
At the age of twenty-four he emigrated to the United States, and became a clerk in the mercantile house of Donnelly Bros, New York.
After a few years, he removed to Maysville, Kentucky, and went into business, but later on established himself in St. Louis.
When the California Gold Rush began, he saw the opportunity and went to San Francisco in the latter part of 1849, opening a mercantile establishment there in partnership with Joseph A. Donohoe, Daniel T. Murphy and Adam Grant.
After ten years of business, the firm dissolved, and Kelly took part in founding the Pacific Coast banking house of Donohoe, Ralston & Co., in San Francisco, and the firm of Eugene Kelly & Co., in New York.
He founded the Southern Bank of the State of Georgia and contributed largely to the rebuilding of the town hall of Charleston, S. C., after the Civil War.
He was known as a supporter of arts, charity and education: he was one of the original life members of the National Academy of Design, for thirteen years a member of the Board of Education, a patron of the American Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
In the Roman Catholic Church, of which he was a member, he was a prominent layman, being one of the founders of the Catholic University of America, and a director until his death.
He was also a trustee of Seton Hall College and a member of the committees which had oversight of the construction of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the Washington Square Arch and the Statue of Liberty erected in New York harbor.
In 1857, he married Margaret Hughes, niece of Archbishop John Hughes, and four sons by this marriage survived him — Eugene, Edward, Thomas Hughes and Robert J. Kelly.
It's still heavy and it most definitely fits their usual sonic template with plenty of palm-muted chugs, tight breakdowns, and heavy screaming, but the band is instrumentally and melodically branching out now.
And that's for the better, as it's these moments that provide the record's highlights, and 'Waves' may just be one of the band's greatest.
Despite the musical diversity and as much as I love the idea of bands taking steps towards changing and evolving their sound, I must say that this is actually one of Crystal Lake's weakest releases.
Common lilac is known for its spring flowers, which can be altered due to decay of flowering stems after intense infection.
When the pathogen is sufficiently advanced, the presence of small dark dots indicates the production of cleistothecium (chasmothecium), an important structure in the protection of potential inoculum.
Lecithin is recognized by the European Union as a treatment for powdery mildews diseases and is commonly available in the soy-derived formulation ‘soy lecithin’.

It is the lead single for their fourth studio album Vena, produced by Brandon Paddock, written by Masato Hayakawa and was released on 16 September 2015.
This song is highly regarded as the best that Coldrain has to offer and is a popular staple song at live shows.
When asked about the latest single, Masato had a lot to say about the meaning and where some of the foundations came from.
He revealed that the claps were implemented to help with the atmosphere and help make the song that much more memorable and is great when fans clap along with the intro at the start of every performance.
He also mentioned about how personal this song was to him, as he initially didn't want to share it with the studio.
Later on, it was admitted that he was happy that they made the correct decision to use it to promote the record.
The feeling you get when you feel so distant from someone despite them saying they’re there for you and they care about you.
A tweet which got everyone buzzing on Twitter was when Hayakawa put a post stating the world premiere for the music video was tomorrow, followed by a short clip of the intro of the song.
Upon release, the song received substantial airplay on Sirius XM, Octane, BBC Radio One and Kerrang leading to a lot of hype for their upcoming album.
Mirrors shattering are also a centre point, and helps convey the idea of reflecting on what they had which is now fading away into dust.
In the end, it is revealed that she left him behind after the realisation hits that she is gone for good.
Intertwined with the music, silhouettes of the band members are shown playing the song with bright studio lights of the albums logo flashing around them.
As of December 2019, the song has 4.2 million views on YouTube, being Coldrain's third most viewed music video on the site.
It is the largest tree in Nelder Grove, the 23rd largest giant sequoia in the world, and could be considered the 22nd largest depending on how badly Ishi Giant atrophied during the Rough Fire in 2015.
On July 3, 1859, naturalist Galen Clark, Judge John W. Fitzhugh, and journalist L.A. Holmes discovered the tree while on a hunting expedition in the area.
In 1875, prospector-turned-hermit John A. Nelder built a cabin near the tree, which he considered to be the largest in the world.
Nelder met naturalist John Muir later that same year, but when Muir measured the tree, he determined it to be smaller than the Grizzly Giant tree of Mariposa Grove.
Nelder's tree, though narrower, was later found to be taller and more voluminous than the Grizzly Giant, making it the second largest giant sequoia in the region after the Washington tree of Mariposa Grove.
Harmer described the song as having been inspired by the spirit of community activism that followed events such as the 2017 Quebec City mosque shooting.
Three weeks after the album's release was announced, Harmer also announced that she will promote it with her first large-scale tour in many years, featuring dates in both Canada and the United States.

Major John Button (May 18, 1772 - November 9, 1861) was an American-born Upper Canada settler (founder of Buttonville, Ontario), sedentary Canadian militia officer and founder of the 1st York Light Dragoons (also as Troop of Markham Dragoons or Captain Button's Dragoons).
He was the forth generation of Buttons in America (the first ancestor is believed to be Matthias Button (1610-1672), who arrived in the Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony around 1633).
In 1790 John Button was working as a cooper and married Elizabeth Williams (1772-1847) in Dutchess County, New York in 1795.
With the end of the American Revolution and not being an active United Empire Loyalist, Button would not begin the process of migrating north to Canada until the ratification of the Jay Treaty in 1795.
In 1798 he petitioned the then President of the Executive Council and Administrator of Upper Canada Peter Russell for land in Upper Canada.
Not waiting for the approval of his request his family settled in at Crowland Township (in now Welland, Ontario) in the Niagara Region (with family members already residents in the township) from 1799 to 1801.
Once the grant was approved in 1801 (by Peter Hunter) they settled on 200 acres of land along Yonge Street (somewhere north of Bloor Street as Park lots ran north–south direction south of Bloor) in York, Upper Canada.
He later sold this grant, moved north to Markham in 1803 and obtained 200 acres around the area now known as Buttonville, Ontario around 1805.
Button joined the local militia in 1808 as a Lieutenant with the North York Regiment of Militia and established his cavalry troop, Light Dragoons, in 1810.
Despite the end of the War of 1812, Button saw the need to maintain military alertness and requested to maintain his troop's readiness.
Button was promoted as Major in 1831, had participated in the War of 1812 (Battle of Detroit) and later in the Rebellion of 1837 (Battle of Montgomery's Tavern).
Button began selling off his land holdings in the latter part of his life (1840s) which lead to the establishment of Buttonville in 1851.
John Button Drive is another residential street near Woodbine Avenue and 16th Avenue closer to the area where Button had settled with two connecting roadways, Captain Francis Drive and Colonel Marr Road, are named for his sons and grandson respectively.
Buttonville Crescent / Buttonville Street is a short residential street off Woodbine Avenue and located within what was John Button's Markham grant.
Buttonville Public School (c. 1992) and the 1872 Buttonville Schoolhouse are named for the community that is linked to his name.

The Central Junior Football League was a football league competition operated under the Scottish Junior Football Association between 1931 and 2002, with an expansion of its membership in 1968.
The dispute lasted four years, with none of the teams from the powerful Glasgow Junior Football League entering the Scottish Junior Cup and instead playing in separate competitions.
In 1931 these teams returned to the SJFA and the Central league was created, although notes from its 1932 AGM stated that it was the 32nd such meeting, suggesting that internally it was considered a continuation of the pre-1927 GJL.
A reorganisation of the Junior level across Scotland in 1968 resulted in the Lanarkshire Junior Football League, which had existed since 1891 but had never been as successful as the Glasgow and Central leagues which instead drew the best Lanarkshire teams away into their setup, was fully integrated into the new Central 'region', one of six in the country.
In that period, Cambuslang Rangers (coincidentally one of those members based in Lanarkshire but always affiliated with Glasgow leagues) were the strongest club, but their dominance faded after the mid-1970s.

The IMF would have a strong influence over the economy of Chile through the post-World War Two era of the 20th century, especially during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.
In 1973 the democratically elected government of marxist Salvador Allende was overthrown in a coup launched by the military of Chile.
General Augusto Pinochet became leader of the nation and he set the nation on a path of laissez-faire economics, hoping to gain favor with the United States.
In the immediate wake of the coup inflation had reached a record annual rate of over 500%, and amongst the first goals of the Chicago Boys was to bring this under control.
The overthrow of Allende was seen as a positive development by the major world financial institutions, and the IMF quickly began talks with the new government.
Inflation began to increase again and the amount of the population in poverty increased drastically, reaching over 40% of the population The shock economics of the Chicago Boys lost favor with the dictatorship, and one by one they were forced out and replaced by more moderate economist.
These economist weren't given the same amount of freedom to experiment, and so the influence of the IMF over the economy greatly increased.
Since the return to democracy Chile has taken no loans out from the IMF, instead working to decrease its level of debt.
Chilean economics are still in line with the advice given to it by the IMF in the decades prior, evident by being ranked the most business friendly country in Latin America.

Degenerative lumbosacral stenosis (DLSS), also known as cauda equina syndrome, is a pathologic degeneration in the lumbosacral disk in dogs; affecting the articulation, nerve progression, tissue and joint connections of the disk.
This degeneration causes compressions in soft tissues and nerve root locations in the ultimate caudal area of the medulla, causing neuropathic pain in the lumbar vertebrae.
DLSS has been found to affect dogs between the ages of 7 and 8, males ranging twice as higher than females in the research area.
Medium to large-sized working breeds with high rates of activity are mostly affected by this disease, the German Shepherd breed being the most common on DLSS diagnosis.
Behavioural problems will also be presented in dogs affected by DLSS, due to the pain they suffer on their lower back.
It has been researched that there is a positive correlation regarding a dog’s behaviour with the amount of lumbar vertebrae that are affected by this disease, respectively showing that behavioural disturbances are more likely to appear with dogs that have 3+ affected vertebrae.
Symptoms such as anxiety, sudden loss of appetite, or mild aggressiveness when performing physical activities can become clear signs of this disease.
DLSS is associated with behavioural problems depending on how much the disease affects the dog; in other words, the more tissue and bone that is affected by DLSS, the more reluctant the dog will be to perform any kind of physical activity.
Its most general overview and research ground for understanding this pathological disease takes place in the military, since dogs who take part in the special forces (German and Dutch Shepherd, Labrador Retriever and Belgian Malinois being the most proper breeds) are widely studied as they progress through their incredibly active life.
Those affected by DLSS, generally diagnosed in their retirement period, show a wide range of decreased activity when performing certain demanding tasks that require physical stress, thus, becoming crucial exemplars for lumbar diseases.
DLSS is commonly identified through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) due to their precision in recognising abnormalities in soft tissue and small bone structures.
Medical treatment is necessary to correct this lumbar disease, generally varying from anti-inflammatory drugs (lacking steroids, such as: tramadol and gabapentin) to surgical correction; surgery being the most effective of course.
Dorsal Laminectomy is the most common procedure for DLSS treatment, which implies the decompression or des-inflammation of soft tissues and nerve roots.↵Surgical fusion of the lumbosacral vertebrates has also been found to improve the affected vertebrae, since it reduces motion by eliminating certain nerve compressions located in the vertebral canal.
Alternative conservative or non-surgical treatment is also a convenient option with dogs that have not fully developed Degenerative Lumbosacral Stenosis; ranging from regular walks to underwater excercises that aid the affected lumbar vertebrae decompress and tone the corresponding muscle.
If there is no surgical intervention, oral tramadol and alternative gabapentin have shown to decrease the neuropathological pain dogs suffer when affected by the disease.

Located in the hundreds-year-old Cha'er hutong, a Chinese courtyard, surrounded by family homes, the award-winning structure is recognized for its blend of old and new architecture.
Funded by the municipal government,  the building is part of an urban development program  to enhance the lives of residents while preserving hutong history.
Zhang Ke of ZAO/standard architecture in Beijing designed the children's library and art centre as part of a hutong renewal project.
It was a typical Da-Za-Yuan, which means big, messy courtyard, where up to a dozen families had lived for about 400 years.
Although most recent renovations eliminate add-on structures like these, the architects redesigned, renovated, and reused the remaining structures to create the library and art spaces, preserving this oft-neglected layer of Beijing's contemporary civil history.
Steps inside the building create an elevated reading area in front of a wide window, encouraging children to climb up and read a book.
Builders also transformed a former kitchen beneath a large Chinese scholar tree into a six metre square micro art space using recycled bricks.
In 2016, the Hutong Children's Library and Art Centre project received the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, one of six winners worldwide.
The award jury praised the project for its modification and re-use of a historic building and its embodiment of life in traditional courtyard residences.
The building contains a children's library and an elevated reading nook where children can read in front of a picture window.
In one room, an artist may show children how to create paper cut art while a multifunction space is suitable for showing movies.
Local residents see the hutong renewal project as good for the community as the area was transformed from piles of rubbish to a place where children come to play and learn.
The project helped preserve historic buildings instead of leveling the area for large-scale construction, bridging the gap between modern development and tradition.
Hutong renewal helps keep families in the community where they have lived possibly for hundreds of years instead of relocating to distant apartment towers, preserving their community bonds.
Botswana is part of the Kalahari desert, approximately 70% of the country is based here..It was once a part of the British protectorate, before it gained its independence in 1966 under a commonwealth .
Most of their economic growth is due to their production of diamonds, which allowed it to become an upper middle-class country..
The goal of the world bank is to consolidate Botswana’s progress while also looking at a range of areas and noting its problem areas.
Its first major project with the World Bank was a Roads and Water project, which was to develop the transportation system in the city of Bechuanaland.
One is the Integrated Transport Project, estimated to cost $186 million, and the Emergency Water Security and Efficiency Project, estimated to cost $145.5 million.
The World Bank conducted 3 projects that coincide with one another, they incorporate electricity transmission, economic diversification and strengthen public sector performance.
The other project looks at the water sector and it aims to have advisory support for the Glen Valley Waste Water Treatment Plan.
The main points of this project was to strengthen the National AIDS agency’s institutional management and coordination capacity and the second was to finance strategic and innovative HIV/AIDS related prevention.
Through this project, the government of Botswana was able to provide job opportunities in wildlife-based tourism to benefit the conservation of wildlife.

Random-resistor-random-temperature Kirchhoff-law-Johnson-noise key exchange, also known as RRRT-KLJN or simply KLJN, is an approach for distributing cryptographic keys between two parties that claims to offer unconditional security.
This claim, which has been contested, is significant, as the only other key exchange approach claiming to offer unconditional security is Quantum key distribution.
It has the advantage over quantum key distribution in that it can be performed over a metallic wire with just four resistors, two noise generators, and four voltage measuring devices---equipment that is low-priced and can be readily manufactured.

Dundalk entered the 2000–01 League of Ireland First Division season having finished fourth the previous season, thus missing out on a promotion/relegation play-off.
It was Dundalk's second season in the second tier of Irish football, and their 75th consecutive season in the League of Ireland.
Following the financial difficulties of the mid- and late-1990s, and relegation for the first time at the end of the 1998–99 season, the club had been taken over by the Dundalk F.C.
The previous season there had been expectations of an immediate return to the top-flight, but a poor start left them struggling to catch the leaders and, with a play-off spot seemingly secured, the club became embroiled in a losing battle with the league's hierarchy and Kilkenny City.
The row, over Kilkenny playing an improperly registered player, reached the High Court, who sided with Kilkenny thus handing them the play-off spot.
Relegation in 1999 had resulted in a large turnover of players – 31 different players making League appearances in the 1999–2000 season alone.
A number of local players had been retained from the previous season's squad, but another ten players were signed before and during the season, so that 21 players in total would make league starts.
The previous season's disappointment, and the amount of players coming and going, meant that hopes were low going into the new season.
The 36-match schedule got under way on 11 August 2000, and Dundalk had a promising start, leading by the end of the month.
But a slump in form saw them risk losing touch with fellow pace-setters, Athlone Town, obliging Murray to bring more players in.
A victory over Athlone in November, and a five game winning streak, kept the gap to four points as the other sides fell away.
The season was nearly derailed, however, when the 2001 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak lead to an exclusion zone being put in place around County Louth.
They had beaten Shelbourne in the first round of the Leinster Senior Cup, but the crisis saw the competition ultimately abandoned for the season, and it would be 2010 before it was revived.
In the second round of the FAI Cup they had been drawn against non-league Malahide United, and the game had been postponed four times as the crisis wore on.
At the fifth attempt, the match was played behind closed doors at a neutral venue, and Dundalk were knocked out in the first match they had played in over five weeks.
Two heavy league defeats followed as they struggled to get back up to speed, with home matches having to be played in United Park in Drogheda.
But four wins in a row, including a 2–1 victory over Athlone in the first match played in Oriel Park in over two months, meant Dundalk had won the First Division title (their first), and secured promotion back to the Premier Division for 2001–02 with a game to spare.

He was formally admitted to the legal profession in April 1925, joining his brother's law firm of Nelligan & Gun, which later became Gun & Gun.
He made his first-class debut at the age of 21 for South Australia in the Sheffield Shield match against New South Wales at the Adelaide Oval in January 1925.
On the first day he batted at number seven, going to the wicket when South Australia were 5 for 122, and scoring 136 not out, taking the total to 389 all out.
On the second day, when New South Wales batted, Les Gwynne (also making his first-class debut) and Tommy Andrews were building a steady partnership for the third wicket against mediocre bowling when South Australia's captain Vic Richardson asked Gun to bowl.
Gun set a bodyline field of seven fieldsmen on the leg side, including five behind square and one at forward short leg.
Bowling right-arm fast-medium over the wicket to the right-handed batsmen, he proceeded to bowl short-pitched deliveries at the batsmen or just outside the line of leg stump.
Andrews disdained to play strokes against such deliveries, but was surprised by a fuller ball from Gun that bowled him off his pads.
Despite not quite knowing how to treat Gun's bowling, Gwynne reached his century, but was later dismissed by Gun, caught after skying the ball.
He made one more century for South Australia: against Western Australia in 1925-26 he made 129, putting on 313 in less than four hours for the opening partnership with Arthur Richardson.

Beasley has brought attention to the ‘potential disjunctions’ that arise as a result of the different ‘theoretical frameworks or paradigms’ that shape the overall agendas of masculinity studies and feminist scholarship.
Beasley is also known in the masculinity studies field through her critical yet supportive engagement with the work of Professor Emerita Raewyn Connell.
Beasley has shown that care is used as a resistant framework in arguments against individualization that work towards diverse political agendas – including some that connect to feminist agendas.
Beasley has collaborated with Professor Emerita Carol Bacchi and together they have postulated the notion of 'social flesh' as a means to challenge the atomistic individualism that frequently underpins understandings of the human subject in political philosophy.
Beasley has a BA, Dip Ed, M Ed, MA and PhD from Flinders University, South Australia, and MA from Birmingham University, UK.
It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador.

The symptoms of Lily Gray Mold include the appearance of water-soaked spots on leaves which appear white and increase in darkness with age, ranging from gray to brown.
In addition to leaves, petals, stems, and buds may be infected, and this gray webbing will eventually cover the plant, feigning the appearance of gray flowers.
This may be derived from mycelium in overwintering sclerotia, which produce conidiophores to create conidia, the asexual spores of this fungus.
The conidia germinate, often penetrating the young leaf tissue of the lily, although the flowers, buds, or stem may also suffer from infection.
These proteins act together as a master regulator the initiation of sexual fruiting body development, which begins when both proteins are expressed in a dikaryotic cell.
These are brown in color, and darken as they mature, and they range between 7-12 mm in height, with apothecial disks from 3-4 mm diameter and 0.5-1.0 mm in thickness.
These ascospores infect Lilium species’ leaves as effectively as the conidia throughout the growing season, although mycelium are the primary inoculants of young lily shoots in the spring.
The rapid accumulation of hydrogen peroxide, nitrous oxide, and antioxidant activity trigger in the plant’s defense response, and long-term, highly concentrated increases contribute to high resistance in these plants.
Cultivars displaying high resistance are the Oriental and Oriental x Trumpet hybrid lines, whereas the susceptible cultivars included Asiatic and Trumpet cultivars.
In addition to breeding for Botrytis-resistant cultivars, steps can be taken to prevent the spread of this mold in the field.
Because this mold requires water to spread to other plants, Botrytis can be greatly reduced with good drainage to the soil and caution to avoid overwatering.
The ascospores on this debris could overwinter and infect the plants in the spring, so it is advised to either bury the debris in a hole at least 12” deep or, preferably, burn it.
These treatments should be applied to selected plants before treating an entire bed, and always using the recommended instructions on the product’s label.

The strategy set in place by the World Bank following this exclusion from the LDC list was described in their fiscal year 2015-2017 Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) which focused on enhancing macro-fiscal stability and improving competitiveness within private sector development.
With the population growing and less employment opportunities, the World Bank has a firm stance on closing the significant skill gaps within the employment market and a shift to promoting increased productivity within the country.
Along with these issues it has been stated that Cabo Verde needs to address reforms in the investment sector in order to increase their global competitiveness.
Public spending in the health and education sectors are also within the World Bank's suggested fiscal strategy, and the positive outcomes from altering such public spending may result in an increase in capital and a reduction in national debt.

The Captive Virgins (Filipino: Mga Bilanggong Birhen) is a controversial 1977 drama film produced by Armida Siguion-Reyna and directed by Mario O'Hara and Romy Suzara.
The film was restored by the ABS-CBN Film Archives through Central Digital Lab as part of the Centennial Year of the Philippine Cinema.
Reyna Films, the production company owned and operated by Armida's son Carlos Siguion-Reyna and his wife Bibeth Orteza, supplied the 35mm master negative and sound negative of the 1977 film Mga Bilanggong Birhen.
The film took 550 hours of restoration to remove damage from the negative such as mold, film grain, splice marks, instability, flicker and to reconstitute several missing frames.
Actress Jobelle Salvador, the daughter of Leroy Salvador; producer Bibeth Orteza, daughter-in-law of Armida Siguion-Reyna; and Tess Carvajal, the granddaughter of Monang Carvajal, also attended the film's premiere through representation of the cast and crew who were deceased or unable to attend.

They founded the Scheer Memorial Hospital in Banepa, which is the only Western hospital in Kavre District and serves half a million people.
Sturges came from a strong tradition of medical missionary work in his family, and his goal was to minister to the needs of the sick and needy disregarding their social or economic position.
It was illegal to openly speak and preach Christianity in Nepal at the time, so patients would come into contact with Sturges’ religion through the hospital.
He had an older brother, Dr. Hubert F. Sturges who opened a missionary practice in Ethiopia and a younger brother, Dr. Keith W. Sturges who eventually took over the Scheer Memorial Hospital.
Sturges played for the 1955 Loma Linda university volleyball team that went on to win second place at the national championship.
After beating big-name universities in the Los Angeles area and qualifying for the National Tournament, his team came within 2 points of winning the national championship against Florida State University.
Two years after graduating from medical school, Sturges arrived in Nepal with his two children and wife, Raylene Sturges in 1957.
Sturges originally planned to open a practice in Kathmandu, but didn’t want to threaten the United Medical Mission already serving there, so he looked 16 miles east to Banepa.
It was the hub of three trade routes converging on the Valley of Seven Cities, also known as the Kathmandu Valley.
When he passed through the city, headsman and 10,000 of local tribesman staged a demonstration for Sturges to choose the city for his practice.
Through the alumni network at Loma Linda University, Sturges contacted Clifford C. Scheer, a construction consultant in New Jersey who was thinking about constructing a memorial for his recently deceased parents.
It was officially opened and dedicated in a ceremony on May 18, 1959, which was attended by former Prime Minister BP Koirala, the Minister of Health, and 3,000 townsmen.
It has also since established the Scheer Memorial Adventists Hospital Medical Institute, College of Nursing where students can earn a B. Sc.
Because of the abundance of patients, Sturges also opened mobile clinics in Panauti and Dapcha Chhaatrebangh on different days of the week.
A local pressed charges against Sturges and the hospital, insinuating that the hospital blocked a nearby holy water source, destroyed a path connecting Banepa to Chandeswori, overcharged for services, preached the Christian religion openly, and that Sturges was guilty of malpractice.
The ceremony was broadcast on national television on January 20, 1961, and Sturges appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, the Today show, and met President Richard Nixon.
Sturges received the American Academy of Achievement Golden Plate Award in 1965 and the Pacific Union College Honored Alumnus Award in 2016.
Upon returning to the United States, Sturges was an instructor in psychiatry at the University of Cincinnati before retiring in Portland, Oregon.
Mummies 317a and 317b are the infant daughters of pharaoh Tutankhamun of Egypt's Eighteenth Dynasty and their mother was likely his Great Royal Wife Ankhesenamun, who has been tentatively identified as the mummy KV21a.
The mummy referred to as 317a is of a girl who was born prematurely at 5–6 months gestation, and mummy 317b is that of girl born at or near full-term.
Both mummies were contained within two nested wooden coffins: the outer coffin was covered in black resin, with gilded bands that name the deceased only as 'the Osiris'; the inner coffins were covered in gold foil.
The linen wrappings were secured by five transverse bands and two triple longitudinal bands over the front and back, and sides.
The skin was noted as being very brittle and greyish in colour but overall was found to be in good condition.
The mummy lacked eyebrows and eyelashes, presumably due to its early gestational age, but light-coloured silky hairs (lanugo) were present on the head.
The cranium was found to be filled with high and low density contents which may represent brain tissue or embalming material.
The manner of wrapping was very similar to the smaller mummy - two triple longitudinal bands and four transverse bands around the head, neck, abdomen, and ankles - on top of a shroud.
The interior of the cranium was examined through the fontanelle and found to be filled with linen which had been inserted through the right nostril.
The umbilical cord was not preserved but the navel was not retracted indicating that the umbilical cord had been cut off rather than drying off naturally.
The mummy was next examined in 1978 using x-rays and was found to have been damaged over the intervening years, with the skull crushed, and ribs broken.
The age was estimated to be thirty five weeks gestation to full term, and she was diagnosed with Sprengel's deformity, spina bifida, and scoliosis.
A later re-examination of the x-rays suggested that the child may have been as young as 31 weeks based on the degree of ossification.
It has also been suggested that the two were twins who suffered from twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome resulting in one twin who was large for its gestational age and one who was much smaller.
The left scapula is higher than the right but this is due to the left scapula and clavicle being entirely separated from the body and rotating upwards.
The spine was found to be in poor condition and fractured postmortem with fragments missing; this gave the appearance of a deformed spine with neural tube defects but no anomalies were found.
It is possible that damage caused by lack of preservation in the modern age has caused spinal damage due to spina bifida to be indistinguishable from postmortem damage.
Spina bifida, along with other neural tube conditions, can be passed down genetically, and Tutankhamun had a partially cleft hard palate and a clubfoot, both of which can be related to spina bifida.
The female mummy referred to as KV21a, possibly the mother of the two children (discussed in more detail below), also had clubfeet on both sides.
A child with spina bifida born in Ancient Egypt might have survived to term, but could not have survived past early infancy, as lifesaving surgery was not available.
DNA analysis was conducted as part of the Tutankhamun Family Project and although only partial matches were obtained, it was enough to conclude that both mummies were the children of Tutankhamun.
Only a partial DNA profile was able to be obtained from the KV21a mummy, but it suggests that she was the mother of the two children.

The impulse vector can be applied for both undamped and underdamped systems, and for both positive and negative impulses in a unified way.
A vector concept for an input shaper was first introduced by W. Singhose for undamped systems with positive impulses, and an impulse vector was first introduced by C.-G. Kang to generalize Singhose idea to underdamped systems with positive and negative impulses.
where formula_11 implies the magnitude of an impulse function, formula_12 implies the time location of the impulse function, and formula_13 implies damped natural frequency formula_14.
For a positive impulse function with formula_15, the initial point of the impulse vector is located at the origin of the polar coordinate system, while for a negative impulse function with formula_16, the terminal point of the impulse vector is located at the origin.
In this definition, the magnitude formula_4 is the product of formula_11 and a scaling factor for damping during time interval formula_12, which represents the magnitude formula_11 before being damped; the angle formula_5 is the product of the impulse time and damped natural frequency.
Note that an impulse function is a purely mathematical quantity, while the impulse vector includes a physical quantity (that is, formula_2 and formula_3 of a second-order system) as well as a mathematical impulse function.
Consider two impulse vectors formula_26 and formula_27 in the figure on the right-hand side, in which formula_26 is an impulse vector with magnitude formula_29 and angle formula_30 corresponding to a positive impulse with formula_31, and formula_27 is an impulse vector with magnitude formula_33 and angle formula_34 corresponding to a negative impulse with formula_35.
Since the two time-responses corresponding to formula_26 and formula_27 are exactly same after the final impulse time formula_38 as shown in the figure, the two impulse vectors formula_26 and formula_27 can be regarded as the same vector for vector addition and subtraction.
The magnitude of the impulse vector determines the magnitude of the impulse, and the angle of the impulse vector determines the time location of the impulse.
The impulse response of a second-order system corresponding to the resultant of two impulse vectors is same as the time response of the system with a two-impulse input corresponding to two impulse vectors after the final impulse time regardless of whether the system is undamped or underdamped.
If the resultant of impulse vectors is zero, the time response of a second-order system for the input of the impulse sequence corresponding to the impulse vectors becomes zero also after the final impulse time regardless of whether the system is undamped or underdamped.
For given impulse vectors formula_26 and formula_27 as shown in the figure, the resultant can be represented in two ways, formula_50 and formula_51, in which formula_50 corresponds to a negative impulse with formula_53 and formula_54, and formula_51 corresponds to a positive impulse with formula_56 and formula_57.
The impulse responses formula_64 and formula_65 corresponding to formula_50 and formula_51 are exactly same with formula_68 after each impulse time location as shown in the figure.
Now, place an impulse vector formula_69 on the impulse vector diagram to cancel the resultant formula_70 as shown in the figure.
When the impulse sequence corresponding to three impulse vectors formula_73 and formula_69 is applied to a second-order system as an input, the resulting time response causes no residual vibration after the final impulse time formula_75.
Of course, another canceling vector formula_76 can exist, which is the impulse vector with the same magnitude as formula_69 but with an opposite arrow direction.
However, this canceling vector has a longer impulse time that can be as much as a half period compared to formula_69.
Using impulse vectors, we can redesign known input shapers such as zero vibration (ZV), zero vibration and derivative (ZVD), and ZVD shapers.
The ZV shaper is composed of two impulse vectors, in which the first impulse vector is located at 0°, and the second impulse vector with the same magnitude is located at 180° for formula_79.
The ZVD shaper is composed of three impulse vectors, in which the first impulse vector is located at 0 rad, the second vector at formula_89 rad, and the third vector at formula_41 rad, and the magnitude ratio is formula_91.
The ZVD shaper is composed of four impulse vectors, in which the first impulse vector is located at 0 rad, the second vector at formula_89 rad, the third vector at formula_41 rad, and the fourth vector at formula_103 rad, and the magnitude ratio is formula_104.
Similarly, the ZVD shaper with five impulse vectors can be obtained, in which the first vector is located at 0 rad, the second vector at formula_89 rad, third vector at formula_41 rad, the fourth vector at formula_103 rad, and the fifth vector at formula_117 rad, and the magnitude ratio is formula_118.
The NMe shaper has faster rise time than the ZVD shaper, but it is more sensitive to modeling error than the ZVD shaper.

85.53% of those are part of the IMF’s Holdings of Currency or in other words 747.13 SDR millions while the remaining 16.47% is the Reserve Tranche Position or 147.35 SDR millions.
Nonetheless, the only specific IMF programmes that have ever been put in place in Morocco are the annual Article IV consultations.
The main goals of the IMF’s engagement with Morocco are centered around increasing economic growth through improving economic governance by among other things making budget processes more transparent and strengthening fiscal institutions.
More specifically, the issues that the IMF is concerned with in regards to the moroccan economy are excessively high unemployment rates in the population, issues stemming from political conflicts in the region and risks linked to fragility of the euro in light of the strong dependency of the dirham on the euro.
The conditions of the agreement involve several reforms in various sectors including fiscal and monetary policy that authorities are obliged to implement.
A similar agreement had previously been approved between the IMF and Morocco in August 2012 for a value of 6.2$ billion.
Macroeconomic vulnerabilities have gone down, inflation and public debt is declining while government revenues, FDI and exports in two of the main export sectors of the moroccan economy, phosphate and automobile , have risen.

There are taiga forests of conifers, mostly larch, in the slopes of the mountains up to to , often mixed with Siberian pine.
One branch, known as the Wumeng settled along the western slope of the Wumeng Mountain range, extending their control as far west as modern day Zhaotong.
The other branch, known as the Chele, moved along the eastern slope of the Wumeng Mountain range and settled to the north of the Chishui River.
The Bole branch settled in Anshun, the Wusa branch settled in Weining, the Azouchi branch settled in Zhanyi, and the Gukuge branch settled in northeast Yunnan.

By the middle of the 9th century, the Mu'ege under the rule of Nazhiduse had expanded south to around modern Guiyang.
Song Jingyang and Long Hantang were authorized to drive the Mu'ege across the Yachi River, which after a year of fighting, they succeeded in doing.
In 1279, Acha of Mu'ege surrendered to the Yuan dynasty, but Wusuonu of the Wumeng clan sabotaged the negotiations, and told the Mongols that Acha would never surrender.
Although the Mongol occupation was brief and direct administration returned to native rulers, the Yuan administration had a profound impact on Mu'ege's government over the course of the next century.
During the Ming conquest of Yunnan, Ma Hua (馬曄) was put in charge of Guiyang, around which he built a wall using conscripted laborers from Mu'ege.
He brought the regent mother She Xiang before the people of Guiyang, stripped her naked, and whipped her to near death.
Instead of attacking Ma Hua, who had laid a trap, Mu'ege sent a messenger reporting his behavior to the Hongwu Emperor.
An investigation was carried out which led to a rebuke to Ma Hua and She Xiang's investment as Lady of Virtue and Obedience.
By the 1560s, the Yi people in the region had learned Chinese agricultural techniques and were thoroughly integrated in the Chinese trade network.
Initially, the official residences of Shuixi and Shuidong rulers were in Guizhou (present day Guiyang), Shuixi rulers were not allowed to go back to his chiefdom freely.

In 2017, yoga was Sweden's 8th most popular fitness method, and was the primary fitness activity for 12% of its women and 2% of its men.
From 2012 there has been an ongoing debate in Sweden about whether yoga may be taught in schools, as religious instruction is forbidden in the state schooling system.
The scholar Erik af Edholm noted that since Ling's gymnastics had influenced modern yoga, the yoga now practised in Sweden was a secularised and reimported form of gymnastics.
Fleet Street (also known as Cheese for its distinctive album artwork), released in 2004, is the eleventh studio album by the collegiate comedy a cappella group the Stanford Fleet Street Singers.
As a cappella proliferated on college campuses across the United States in the 1990s, the genre found favor with audiences by reinterpreting familiar songs.
In 2006, the Contemporary A Cappella Society added a new category for best original song to its recorded a cappella awards.
After the album's release, members spoke more often of the group's original music than of the their humor, which had previously dominated the group's identity.
When she was four her parents, relocating against the overwhelming east-west tide of central European migration during the 1950s, took her to live in East Berlin.
She later discovered that the sudden move was triggered not - at least not directly - by political conviction, but by an instruction her father had received from the Communist Party: alongside his other work, her father was working for the party.
(1923 – 2009), her father, was a Jewish journalist originally from Berlin who had escaped Nazi Germany and spent the war years as a Résistance fighter in France.

The hospital opened its doors on 7 December 2019, with the rest of the hospital opening fully over the next three years.
The 1908 season for Auckland consisted of four representative matches played in an effort to grow the game in Auckland and New Zealand.
The team was chosen prior to the formation of the Auckland Rugby League so in some respects were an ‘unofficial’ Auckland team though they were very strong nonetheless and many of the players went on to represent Auckland and New Zealand in the ensuing years.
Several of the players were also strongly involved in the establishment of club sides and the growth of the game in Auckland for many years to come such as Albert Asher, Charles Dunning, William Wynyard, and Ronald MacDonald.
Prior to the last match of the season against Taranaki at Victoria Park the promoters of the proposed Auckland League stated clearly their intentions.
It will be the policy of the league to provide players with uniforms, free brake trips to grounds, and payment for loss of wages when away from Auckland on tour”.
The money they had gained from Wellington’s visit in August had been lost while on tour due to travel costs and other expenditure.
This match was originally supposed to be played on the recreation ground but after pressure from the rugby union it was moved to the Tukapa Cricket Field adjacent to Western Park.
Taranaki won the match by 5 points to 3 and it was suggested that Auckland had deliberately thrown the match to stir up interest in the return match.
He is currently a hospital doctor and professor at the Collège de France, holder of the chair of cellular and molecular oncology (2014), member of the French Academy of sciences since 2011.
His work, at the interface between biology and medicine, has radically transformed the management of a rare form of leukaemia, which has become the paradigm for targeted cancer treatments.
After a period in preparatory classes, he studied medicine and biological sciences in parallel, first in Lyon, then at the Necker Hospital in Paris.
Received at the Paris Hospital Boarding School in 1984, he chose the medical research internship he did in Pierre Tiollais' laboratory at the Pasteur Institute.
His thesis and post-doctoral work in this laboratory will enable him to make significant contributions to the understanding of retinoic acid signalling, in particular with the cloning of RARB and the identification of the first element of response to this hormone.
Together with Laurent Degos and Anne Dejean, he then explores the basis of the clinical response of acute promyelocytic leukaemias to retinoic acid, which will lead him to identify the reworking of the RARA gene in this disease and describe the PML/RARA fusion.
Recruited as a researcher at Inserm in 1991, he devoted the rest of his career to understanding the leukemogenic function of this oncoprotein.
After being recruited as a professor at the University of Paris 7 and hospital doctor, he was appointed head of a CNRS research unit, then CNRS/Inserm/University (molecular pathology) from 1995 to 2018.
His work, directly inspired by clinical observations and carried out in collaboration with French and Chinese teams, will lead to new insights into the roles of differentiation, gene expression control or nuclear organization in the pathogenesis of this disease.
In particular, he will seek to understand the molecular and cellular bases of PML/RARA targeting by retinoic acid and later by arsenic.
His team will demonstrate that retinoic acid and arsenic are targeted treatments that bind directly to PML/RARA and induce its degradation by the proteasome.
In vivo modelling of the disease allows him to discover that the combination of retinoic acid and arsenic is capable of eradicating the disease.
These models will find clinical application in treatments that can cure the vast majority of patients without the use of genotoxic chemotherapy.
In addition to their medical applications, its work has opened up new perspectives in very fundamental biological fields, such as nuclear organization or protein stability control.
It was founded in  2010; the artist collective brings out, the relationships of power and the political and social implications that exist in a plate of food through different artistic expressions such as performance, sculpture, painting and video.

Fresh water includes water in ice sheets, ice caps, glaciers, icebergs, bogs, ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, and even underground water called groundwater.
Some organisms can thrive on salt water, but the great majority of higher plants and most mammals need fresh water to live.
Fresh water habitats are classified as either lentic systems, which are the stillwaters including ponds, lakes, swamps and mires; lotic which are running-water systems; or groundwaters which flow in rocks and aquifers.
There is, in addition, a zone which bridges between groundwater and lotic systems, which is the hyporheic zone, which underlies many larger rivers and can contain substantially more water than is seen in the open channel.
Fresh water falling as mist, rain or snow contains materials dissolved from the atmosphere and material from the sea and land over which the rain bearing clouds have traveled.
In industrialized areas rain is typically acidic because of dissolved oxides of sulfur and nitrogen formed from burning of fossil fuels in cars, factories, trains and aircraft and from the atmospheric emissions of industry.
In coastal areas fresh water may contain significant concentrations of salts derived from the sea if windy conditions have lifted drops of seawater into the rain-bearing clouds.
This can give rise to elevated concentrations of sodium, chloride, magnesium and sulfate as well as many other compounds in smaller concentrations.
In desert areas, or areas with impoverished or dusty soils, rain-bearing winds can pick up sand and dust and this can be deposited elsewhere in precipitation and causing the freshwater flow to be measurably contaminated both by insoluble solids but also by the soluble components of those soils.
Significant quantities of iron may be transported in this way including the well-documented transfer of iron-rich rainfall falling in Brazil derived from sand-storms in the Sahara in north Africa.
Only 2.5–2.75% is fresh water, including 1.75–2% frozen in glaciers, ice and snow, 0.5–0.75% as fresh groundwater and soil moisture, and less than 0.01% of it as surface water in lakes, swamps and rivers.
Freshwater lakes contain about 87% of this fresh surface water, including 29% in the African Great Lakes, 22% in Lake Baikal in Russia, 21% in the North American Great Lakes, and 14% in other lakes.
In areas with no fresh water on the ground surface, fresh water derived from precipitation may, because of its lower density, overlie saline ground water in lenses or layers.
Some can use salt water but many organisms including the great majority of higher plants and most mammals must have access to fresh water to live.
Some terrestrial mammals, especially desert rodents, appear to survive without drinking, but they do generate water through the metabolism of cereal seeds, and they also have mechanisms to conserve water to the maximum degree.
This is problematic for some organisms with pervious skins or with gill membranes, whose cell membranes may burst if excess water is not excreted.
Although most aquatic organisms have a limited ability to regulate their osmotic balance and therefore can only live within a narrow range of salinity, diadromous fish have the ability to migrate between fresh water and saline water bodies.
Similarly the marine iguanas on the Galápagos Islands excrete excess salt through a nasal gland and they sneeze out a very salty excretion.
The World Wide Fund for Nature's Living Planet Index noted an 83% decline in the populations of freshwater vertebrates between 1970 and 2014.
Fresh water can only be replenished through the process of the water cycle, in which water from seas, lakes, forests, land, rivers, and reservoirs evaporates, forms clouds, and returns as precipitation.
Locally, however, if more fresh water is consumed through human activities than is naturally restored, this may result in reduced fresh water availability from surface and underground sources and can cause serious damage to surrounding and associated environments.
The increase in the world population and the increase in per capita water use puts increasing strains on the finite resources availability of clean fresh water.
The World Bank adds that the response by freshwater ecosystems to a changing climate can be described in terms of three interrelated components: water quality, water quantity or volume, and water timing.
Due to the accelerated pace of population growth and an increase in the amount of water a single person uses, it is expected that this situation will continue to get worse.
A shortage of water in the future would be detrimental to the human population as it would affect everything from sanitation, to overall health and the production of grain.
The use of water by humans for activities such as irrigation and industrial applications can have adverse impacts on down-stream ecosystems.
The largest petroleum spill that has ever occurred in fresh water was caused by a Royal Dutch Shell tank ship in Magdalena, Argentina, on 15 January 1999, polluting the environment, drinkable water, plants and animals.
Changes in landscape by the removal of trees and soils changes the flow of fresh water in the local environment and also affects the cycle of fresh water.
However, since agriculture is the human activity that consumes the most fresh water, this can put a severe strain on local freshwater resources resulting in the destruction of local ecosystems.
In Australia, over-abstraction of fresh water for intensive irrigation activities has caused 33% of the land area to be at risk of salination.
With regards to agriculture, the World Bank targets food production and water management as an increasingly global issue that will foster debate.
He has been Director of the Philosophy Department at École Normale Supérieur (ENS) Ulm since 2002 and is now Director Emeritus.
Disciple of Georges Canguilhem, agrégé de philosophie (1974), docteur ès lettres (1982) and director of research at the CNRS, he was a student at the École normale supérieure de la rue d'Ulm.
With a dual background in philosophy and life sciences, Claude Debru has devoted his work to the history and epistemology of life sciences and medicine.
Student of the philosopher Georges Canguilhem, trained in the conceptual history of philosophy and science through his postgraduate thesis on the theory of space, he turned to biochemistry and wrote his State thesis on the history of protein biochemistry, in contact with biophysicochemists Jeffries Wyman, John Edsall and René Wurmser.
In this work, which considers both the long historical duration and the strictly philosophical problems raised by the new biochemistry, as well as the most recent developments, he analyzed the evolution of new theoretical models of allosteric protein function from the perspective of structure-function relationships.
In contact with hematologists Jean Bernard, Marcel Bessis and Jacques-Louis Binet, Claude Debru also learned about the problems of cell morphology and pathophysiology of leukaemias, and participated in several projects at the Centre d'écologie cellulaire de la Salpêtrière.
From this body of experience in the biological and medical sciences, Claude Debru drew the substance from a new book of epistemology and history in order to analyse the process of research and discovery, analysing some of Claude Bernard's work in the light of artificial intelligence, questioning the resolution of the paradoxes that have given rise to neuroendocrinology, unclassifiable leukaemias or cell death.
Extending his investigation to new biotechnologies, Claude Debru reflected on their relationship to the notion of possibility and their biological justification.
Returning to neuroscience, its history and its relationship to philosophy, Claude Debru has undertaken several studies on the development of neuroscience in France after the Second World War and on the temporal aspects of brain function, from William James to recent developments, establishing a long-term collaboration with Pierre Buser.
Collaborations with the Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina have resulted in several publications, on imagination and intuition in science, on the Enlightenment, on science and academia during the First World War.

The Habitable Exoplanet Hunting Project is an international network of both professional and amateur astronomers created and coordinated by Alberto Caballero, an amateur astronomer and host of The Exoplanets Channel.
As of December 2019, the network comprises 32 observatories located worldwide, including universities such as the University of South Africa and the University of Saskatchewan, in Canada.
The participants are searching for new potentially habitable exoplanets around non-flare G, K or M-type stars located within 100 light years.
Despite G and K-type stars are the main targets of the project, the team is initially focusing on red dwarfs because it take less time to discard the existence of potentially habitable exoplanets around these type of stars.
Most of the observatories are able to detect transit depths as low as 0.1% and exoplanets with a radius of 0.7 Earth radii.
Overall, the project is a new approach to the quest for exoplanets in which a large network of astronomers located in the five continents have the time to continuously observe each star individually during long periods of time in the search for dips in brightness produced by transiting exoplanets.
As of December 2019, the network has already conducted observations on GJ 436 and GJ 1214, with a new campaign on GJ 3470 starting in January 2020.
Cranberry fruit rot can be categorized into field rot (rot occurring while growing and before harvest) and storage rot (occurring any time after harvest).
If cranberries are immediately processed after harvest, growers focus on preventing field rot while with fresh market cranberries, growers seek to prevent storage rot.
There are 10-15 fungal pathogens known to cause cranberry fruit rot diseases, some active in only field rot, storage rot, or both.
There is no known bacterial pathogen that plays a role in CFR or any major disease on cranberry, potentially due to the low pH conditions on the cranberry fruit.
The symptoms of a rot are related to a general softening and deterioration of the cranberry, which occur both in the field and in storage.
Due to the complexity and number of fungal pathogens involved in CFR, the specific disease cycles have yet to be fully studied.
The management of CFR can be complicated and varies due to the number of pathogens and the temporal aspect of fruit rot.
Fungicides applied during the projected times of infection and on potential areas, such as flowers and after fruit set, are effective at deterring fruit rot.
Dry harvests can cause more damage to vines and take longer, but can reduce disease spread and decrease the potential of storage rot.
Sanding, a process where sand is laid on the field to stimulate root growth from the harvested cranberries, could actually play a role in covering up inoculum with plant debris, which may decrease the chances of field and storage rot.

The spillway failed during the first monsoon season it experienced (in 1962) at a level (123,000 cfs), far below the design flow.
Bowers was in charge of analyzing the cause of the failure, and they had to determine a solution before the next monsoon season.
Their steady flow analysis and tests indicated the design was correct and the spillway should have survived at the flow where it failed.
Prior to this time, information was not available on the magnitude of pressure fluctuations in hydraulic jumps (used to dissipate the energy in the water flowing down the spillway) and instrumentation was not available to measure the fluctuations.
Bowers had just started doing measurements on pressure fluctuations in stilling basins for their other design work, and they checked the pressure fluctuations in the stilling basin.
Since the stilling basin must dissipate many millions of horsepower before the flow enters the river channel, very violent eddies are generated.
Their test data indicate that these fluctuations could easily have caused uplift of the chute slab and subsequent failure of the spillway.
This resulted in modifications to how spillways are designed, and much thicker concrete is used to withstand the dynamic fluctuations in spillways.
The 2019 College Football All-America Team includes those players of American college football who have been honored by various selector organizations as the best players at their respective positions.
The National Collegiate Athletic Bureau, which is the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) service bureau, compiled, in the 1950, the first list of All-Americans including first-team selections on teams created for a national audience that received national circulation with the intent of recognizing selections made from viewpoints that were nationwide.
Since 1957, College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) has bestowed Academic All-American recognition on male and female athletes in Divisions I, II, and III of the NCAA as well as National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics athletes, including all NCAA championship sports.
Currently, the NCAA compiles consensus all-America teams in the sports of Division I FBS football and Division I men's basketball using a point system computed from All-America teams named by coaches associations or media sources.
To be selected a consensus All-American, players must be chosen to the first team on at least two of the five official selectors as recognized by the NCAA.
On 26 March 2019, she had a live solo concert at ZeppDiverCity in Tokyo, which was the largest performance for her ever at that time.
Gerd Elinor Fleischer was born in a small town in northern of Norway, September 17, 1942, and was raised in Tromsø.
After eighteen years, most of the time in Mexico City, she returned to Norway, determined to fight for justice for the children of war as well as other victims of discrimination and persecution.
She has participated in the war children's lawsuit against the Norwegian state at the European Court of Human Rights in 2007.
Prior to the 2009 Norwegian Sámi parliamentary election, she was the second candidate for the Sámi People's Party in the Southern Norway constituency.
It follows a participatory approach, using collective intelligence methods (developed in living labs) and fast prototyping tools such as fab labs, to use and co-create digital commons.
This industrial building was originally built in 1920s and owned by Belgian migrants, and it remained in operation until the 2000 when it was sold to the City Council.
In 2013, after an extensive refurbishment effort of the Serrería building, the center started using the 4000 m and all the floors of the now renovated building.
This refurbishment was awarded multiple awards, including the 12th Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Town Planning award, the COAM 2013 award and the Sacyr innovation award 2014.
In 2014, the City Council considered renting the building to the Telefónica corporation, in order to host innovation hub initiatives such as Wayra.
A manifest signed by a list of renowned names (such as Javier de la Cueva or Antonio Lafuente) supporting the center was published, and eventually the building remained for the sole use of MLP.
MLP has hosted multiple talks of renowned names, including major academics such as Nancy Fraser, Yochai Benkler, or Langdon Winner, or politicians such as EU Commissioner Karmenu Vella.
It has also been venue of international events such as Libre Graphics Meeting, the Red Bull Music Academy, the Media Facades Festival Europe, or the Madrid Design Festival.
Its Spanish co-founder, David Cuartielles, presented Arduino in the center, where Ars Electronica festival director Gerfried Stoker saw it and invited him to show it at the festival.
Surgeon Rear Admiral Arnold Ashworth Pomfret (1 June 1900 – 3 April 1984) was an English first-class cricketer, ophthalmologist and Royal Navy officer.
He was one of the first naval medical officers to specialise in ophthalmology and was the first to undertake major eye surgery.
Pomfret became a Surgeon Lieutenant Commander in 1929, and worked at the Royal Naval Hospital, Simon's Town from 1931 to 1934.
He became a Surgeon Commander in August 1934 and in 1940 he was medical officer in charge of the Royal Navy Sick Quarters on Liugong Island, Wei Hai Wei, and in that capacity received a Japanese military delegation of the Wei Hai Wei occupying forces.
The following year he was made an OBE in the 1941 New Year Honours and was promoted to the rank of Surgeon Captain in June 1944.
He was appointed an Honorary Surgeon to the Queen in November 1953, a capacity he served in until his retirement from active service in October 1957.
Against the MCC he took a five wicket haul, with figures of 6 for 39 in the MCC second-innings, which contributed to a 23 runs victory for the Royal Navy, despite having been asked to follow-on from their first-innings.
The cenotaph was conceived in 1995, under the former ministry of health and social services, Kogi State during the regime of Colonel Paul Omeruo, the previous military administrator of the state.
The war memorial, a gigantic concrete block with old artillery mounted on it, is situated in the middle of light cannons and machine guns placed on small pavements.
It exhibits relics of weapons employed by the British forces against the German forces in defence of their colonies in East Africa and Cameroon.
This is clearly implied by the year, 1914 Cameroon and 1918 East African wars boldly written on the remnants of the cannon on display.The displayed cannons signify disparity between the technology of the old era and present day military weaponry and warfare.
Another spectacular feature of the cenotaph is an inscription of the names of eminent military personnel who served in the two world wars.
In other words, a memento of three heavy artillery guns is seen with names of exceptional soldiers engraved on a plaque and placed on the huge concrete block accommodating one of the artilleries.
The attributes of this monument have made it a designated place where government functionaries and Nigerian soldiers in Kogi state mark the yearly army remembrance day every 15th of January, in honour of their dead heroes.
The governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, flanked by top service personnel representative of retired service men and the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Dr.
This respect was extended with a pledge by the governor's administration to provide maximum support to the families of all fallen servicemen in the state.
This was preceded by the inspection of the Guard of Honour, signing the Hard Book, and releasing the white pigeons, by the governor, which symbolises existing national peace.
Starting as a prison cell robbery, violence between prison gangs intensified into a full-blown riot leading to the death of seven prisoners.
The West Yard consists of the F-1, F-3, and F-5 housing units and is generally seen as the more dangerous of the two yards.
The Bloods make-up the largest share of the prison population which has led to the Gangster Disciples and the Crips occasionally working together.
Some prisoners affiliated with the Gangster Disciples and the Crips sought Raymond Scott, a high-ranking Blood staying in the F-5 unit.
After the killing of Raymond Scott, violence spread to the F-1 housing unit, the closest unit to the prison's administrative building.
Alberto Fernández wished for the bulk of the ceremony, including the concession of the presidential symbols, to take place in the Congressional Palace (as in the previous inaugurations of Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner), rather than in the Casa Rosada, as it was the case in 2015.
As planned, Fernández was sworn in at the Chamber of Deputies Hall of the National Congress, before Mauricio Macri, Gabriela Michetti (outgoing Vice-President and President of the Senate) and running-mate Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who also assumed as Vice-President.
After excelling at school, Vunivalu won a scholarship from the Morris Hedstrom fund to study at the University of Auckland, and was only the second Fijian to earn a Bachelor of the Arts after Lala Sukuna.
However, he resigned in 1954 in order to join the First Batallion of the Fiji Infantry Regiment to fight communist forces in Malaya.
Fijians were given the vote for the first time in the 1963 elections, with Vunivalu returned unopposed in the Eastern Fijian constituency.
On the same day, the band released the album exclusively in Japan with no release dates yet for a worldwide release as of their country.
If you doubted that CRYSTAL LAKE could match the intensity of 'Aeon' for a full album then you couldn't be more wrong.
I was beyond pleased, and as a vocalist who primarily is involved in deathcore/slam, hearing Ryo's range blossom even more and branching into high screams and gutturals was insane.
The 1982 Derby City Council election took place on 6 May 1982 to elect members of Derby City Council in England.
Erroneously placing a foley in this situation can result in infections of periprostatic and perivesical hematomas or conversion of a partial transection to a complete urethral transections.
Radiographic films are taken as 20 mL of water-soluble contrast material are injected This outlines the urethra from the urethral meatus to the bladder neck.
This typically entails a direct excision of the now strictured area and anastomosis of the bulbous urethra to the prostate's apex.
In the women's 2019–20 Biathlon World Cup total score, for each participating athlete the points earned in all Individual, Sprint, Pursuit and Mass start competitions held during the season are added up with the two lowest scores subtracted at the end of the season to give that athlete's final score.
This includes the results from the Biathlon World Championships 2020 (held between the World Cup stages in Pokljuka and Nové Město).
In each event places 1 to 40 (1 to 30 in a Mass start) are awarded points, a victory being worth 60 points.
In a Mass start event only 30 athletes are allowed to participate and the points awarded for ranks 22 to 30 differ from the system used in other events.
An athlete's total World Cup Score is the sum of all World Cup points earned in the season, minus the points from 2 events in which the athlete got their worst scores.
If this number is the same for the athletes in question, the number of second places is compared, and so on.
Tom & Jerry, also known as Tom & Jerry: Hunting High and Low, is a 1989 platform video game developed and published by German company Magic Bytes.
It is the first video game based on the cartoon of the same name, and was released in the United States and Europe, for Amiga, Atari ST and Commodore 64 (C64) computers.
The player has a time limit to consume all the cheese and must also evade Tom, a cat who wants to harm Jerry.
This includes bowling balls and vases that can be dropped on Tom's head from a shelf, and banana peels which can be laid on the floor for Tom to slip.
To evade Tom, the player can also enter mouse holes which lead Jerry through tunnels, played as a continuously scrolling sub-game.

Between 2011 and 2015 she studied for a Master's degree in Business Management at ESAMI (Eastern and Southern Africa Management Institute).
Currently, she is known to be pursuing a doctoral degree (PHD) at the University of Dar es Salaam on gender issues in the field of accounting.
In 2005, she is known to be one of the youth activist in Ubungo constituency that helped John Mnyika become a member of parliament.
On May 4, 2017 she was appointed by NEC to be the Chairman of the CHADEMA party special seats in place of Dr Elly Marco Macha.
APV was founded in 1953 as a speciality football club – tradition holds that it was the first specialty football club to be founded in rural Finland – but expanded to include other sports over time.
The club now offers programs in football, futsal, ice hockey, and pesäpallo and is best known for its youth and junior teams.
Alavuden Urheilijat was the first club in Alavus to organize a football division under its sports department and the first official games in Alavus were played in 1947.
However, plans to establish a club began to materialize when the municipality of Alavus gained ownership of the central sports field.
Alavuden Peli-Veikot was granted membership to the Football Association of Finland on 18 May 1953 and the club was registered on 14 September 1953.
The project was funded and supported entirely from community donations, the municipality did not provide any grants to the initial construction or maintenance.
Donations of note included an initial monetary donation made by Urmas Seppä with his wife and pharmacist Hannes Leinonen, some lumber donated by Mr. Hakkola of Hakkola Sawmill in Tuuri, and the efforts of Nepa Sinkkonen, who transformed an old truck engine into a water pump to spray water through an attached hose and resurface the ice.
APV’s junior program is well regarded and has produced such players as Kärpät forward and Olympic medalist Saila Saari, goaltender Pekka Tuokkola, coach Tuomas Tuokkola, and defenceman Lauri Taipalus.
In the game, the player must escape and battle their way out of a research facility, revolving around realistic physics interactions.
Small objects like cups or hammers can be easily picked up one-handed while larger objects like crates or axes take more effort to be picked up.
Players can also pick up small enemies and throw them or bash them into a wall; enemies can be simultaneously grabbed and shot.
The story mode of the game has the player traversing a digital city developed by Monogon, called MythOS, making their way to a clock tower to reset the clock.
The game has been criticized for its bugs, where the player's limbs can become stuck in game objects, as well as the content not being paced well and a lack of a good plot.
The 1938 Cork Intermediate Hurling Championship was the 29th staging of the Cork Intermediate Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Cork County Board in 1909.
During her tenure in the police, she was subject to several investigations by the National Human Rights Commission for alleged human rights violations.
In the late 1990s, she became involved with the Gulf Cartel, a criminal group based in Tamaulipas, Mexico, after being hired to work under the kingpin Osiel Cárdenas Guillén.
Although she took legal steps to prevent her transfer to the U.S., she was extradited in August 2007 to face 10 counts of drug trafficking in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas.
She pleaded guilty to two counts of drug trafficking and was sentenced to 102 months (eight and a half years) in prison in October 2008.
Since she had already spent time in Mexican and U.S. custody prior to her conviction, her expected release date was much sooner.
María Antonieta Rodríguez Mata was born on 21 June 1969 in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico, to Antonio Rodriguez Zacarias and Rosalia Mata Espinoza.
She moved to Saltillo, Coahuila, for high school and returned to Reynosa to study law at the Universidad Valle de Bravo.
Her psychologist said that her personality was formed in an environment where she received a lot of attention and recognition for her appearance and actions.
In 1995, Mexico's National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) determined that Rodríguez Mata and her state police colleagues Juan Jesús Salinas Cantú, Arturo Maldonado Rodríguez, Juan Carlos Cantú Rodríguez, and Ramiro Aranda Villarreal illegally arrested Miguel Torres Castillo and Mario Alberto Chávez Salinas in Tamaulipas.
On 27 October 1995, Rodríguez Mata and state police officer Mario Alberto Cárdenas Gutiérrez arrested U.S.-born national Gerardo Ramírez Olvera inside the Fiesta Mexicana nightclub in Reynosa and reportedly transported him illegally in a police car to the U.S., where he had outstanding criminal charges.
Ramírez Olvera was detained illegally by U.S. Customs agents at the McAllen–Hidalgo–Reynosa International Bridge for two hours to fill out his paperwork.
The details of Ramírez Olvera's case was based on information from Juan Gutiérrez González, a friend and eyewitness, and María del Rosario Segura, the victim's wife.
The Tamaulipas State Police chief Juan Guillermo Lerma Walle responded to the accusations and stated that the officers made the arrest because they were notified that a man (Ramírez Olvera) was inside the nightclub with a firearm.
The police stated that Ramírez Olvera acknowledged he was a U.S. citizen; when asked about his legal status in Mexico, he responded by saying that he was in Mexico because he was a fugitive from U.S. justice.
Lerma Walle stated that Ramírez Olvera was sent to their station in Reynosa and called U.S. officials to confirm the information.
Tamaulipas attorney general César Ceballos Blanco said that Ramírez Olvera's family made up the story after the Mexican police arrested him for residing in Mexico illegally.
The CNDH said that Piedras' name was not found in the original versions of the story and highlighted this as a contradiction on the police's part.
FBI supervisor Rogelio de la Garza also backed up the state police's story saying that Rodríguez Mata and Cárdenas Gutiérrez acted professionally.
He confirmed that Ramírez Olvera had been wanted by U.S. authorities since June 1995 and had a long history of drug trafficking.
De la Garza also said Rodríguez Mata and Cárdenas Gutiérrez were never paid by the FBI and that the story was fabricated deliberately to hinder U.S.–Mexico relations.
Tamaulipas officials submitted a response stating that Ramírez Olvera was legally handed over to the INM, and that by handing him over to the INM they were no longer liable for his legal status.
She said that an agent from the Tamaulipas State Police did show up early the day after Ramírez Olvera's arrest and was given a sealed envelope with paperwork on illegal aliens in Mexico.
The CNDH believes this and other contradictions highlight the culpability of Rodríguez Mata and the state police in the arbitrary arrest and expulsion of Ramírez Olvera.
When Rodríguez Mata was in the Tamaulipas State Police, she also protected the criminal activities of the Gulf Cartel kingpin Osiel Cárdenas Guillén.
After leaving the police, Rodríguez Mata bought two houses in Reynosa and Monterrey, although she usually spent more of her time at the latter.
On 9 November 1999, Rodríguez Mata and several members of the Gulf Cartel were involved in an armed standoff in Matamoros with two U.S. federal agents after they traveled there with an informant to gather intelligence on the cartel's operations.
In the cartel, Rodríguez Mata was assigned to manage an international narcotics ring from Colombia and Guatemala to the U.S.-Mexico border with Texas.
The drugs she supervised were transported by land and guarded by corrupt members of the Tamaulipas State Police, some of whom she had worked with previously.
Once in Tamaulipas, the drugs were smuggled via the Reynosa corridor and into McAllen, Texas, before being sent to Dallas and Houston for further distribution.
The drugs were then redistributed through different locations in the U.S. interior, including to the states of California, Georgia, North Carolina, Illinois and New York.
According to the indictment, Rodríguez Mata was responsible for smuggling more than of marijuana and more than of cocaine between March and December of that year.
In 2004, the Mexican government estimated that the Gulf Cartel as a whole was responsible for smuggling over five tons of cocaine from Guatemala to Texas.
She served as the Gulf Cartel's link to other criminal groups in the U.S., Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic.
According to her associates, she often met with criminal members at her house in the Las Fuentes neighborhood in Reynosa or traveled to meet business partners in person; she preferred to discuss and strike drug deals in person.
Outside of her organized crime career, she also ran multiple businesses, including auto repair shops, restaurants, real estate leasing agencies, and a fish farming company.
Rodríguez Mata is a particularly unusual figure in organized crime circles, given her involvement in a leadership position in the male-dominated Mexican drug trafficking industry.
In the cartel she had several aliases: La Tony, La Generala (The General), La Comandante (The Commander), La Vieja (The Old Woman), La Tia (The Aunt) and La Mandy.
The arrest was conducted in response to a U.S. extradition request; Mexico's Attorney General's Office (PGR) confirmed that Rodríguez Mata was indeed a high-ranking member of the Gulf Cartel and that she was wanted in the U.S. for drug trafficking.
At the moment of her arrest, Rodríguez Mata was walking with another person who investigators said was not involved in drug trafficking.
On 8 February, Rodríguez Mata was transferred from Monterrey to Mexico City and imprisoned at the Reclusorio Preventivo Femenil Norte, a women's prison, and placed under the jurisdiction of a penal judge.
At her initial hearing, she rejected all charges before Mexico City federal judge Arturo César Morales Ramírez, who had approved her arrest warrant in Mexico following the U.S. request.
On 7 February 2006, she was released from prison but rearrested by the PGR immediately outside the penitentiary and kept under their custody for 30 days.
That year Rodríguez Mata was among a handful of suspected Mexican criminals and drug traffickers awaiting transfer to the U.S. who had issued legal motions to prevent their transfer from Mexico.
The Secretariat of Public Security (SSP) confirmed that she was flown in a non-commercial plane from the Toluca International Airport to the McAllen-Miller International Airport.
Ambassador to Mexico Tony Garza said that Rodríguez Mata's extradition was a sign of collaboration between justice officials in Mexico and the U.S.
He reiterated that any person, including police officers, who violate the law and abuse citizens' trust would be brought to justice.
In early 2008, Rodríguez Mata pleaded guilty to two counts of drug trafficking related to shipments from northern Mexico to New York.
On 3 October 2008, she was sentenced to 102 months (eight and a half years) in a U.S. federal prison for her leadership role in an international drug trafficking and money laundering organization.
Since Rodríguez Mata had already served several years in prison both in Mexican and U.S. custody, she was expected to be released in about four years.
Earlier in the year, former Tamaulipas police commander Carlos Landín Martínez was also convicted in the U.S. for his drug trafficking role in the Gulf Cartel; Rodríguez Mata's time in the Tamaulipas State Police overlapped with his.
Rodríguez Mata was released from prison on 31 May 2013, after a little over four and a half years in custody.
In late 2014, Zeng registered with the Singapore Table Tennis Association with hopes to acquire Singaporean nationality and play for the Singapore national team.
The China-Central Asia-West Asia Economic Corridor (abbreviated as CCAWEC) is an economic and transportation corridor of the Belt and Road Initiative, a global economic connectivity program led by China.
It has since the 2nd Belt and Road Forum in 2019 become one of 35 corridors and project officially included in the BRI.
Academic researchers have variously included the countries of Central Asia, the Caucus, Middle East, Balkans and Turkey as part of the corridor.
A report on the BRI by the OECD in 2018 classifies the following long list of countries as part of the corridor: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, the Palestinian Authority, Romania, Serbia, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
The China Railways Express, the first freight train to travel along the corridor, made its maiden trip in November 2019 from China (Xian) to Europe (Prague) in 18 days.
The railway service traveled from China to Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey (passing through Istanbul's Marmaray Tunnel under the Bosphorus) before arriving in Central Europe.
A columnist for the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet saw the railway line as joining together with the BRI in the region and challenging Russia's own BRI connected corridor as a primary corridor from China to Europe.
She was a witness to the February 28 incident in 1947 which killed thousands in Taiwan and resulted in decades of martial law known as the White Terror.
She married another academic, Feng Tsuan Hua, around 1972 and they left for a couple of years to work in Massachusetts in the United States at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
Whilst she was in charge she arranged an audit of the department and it was found that a radioactive source that was meant to be stored safely was missing.
The newspapers reported the problem and it was only when national bodies became involved that the radium - beryllium neutron source was found.
She continued to teach for twenty years, and she was cited as a role model for other women to study physics.
In 1927 coffee wilt disease (CWD) was first observed in Central African Republic (CAR) where it developed slowly and went on to cause two epidemics between the 1930s to 1960s.
External symptoms include loss of moisture on leaves, discoloration, leaf loss, dieback of infected region, swelling of trunks, cracks in mature trees and lastly plant death.
Signs of CWD include small blackish-brown perithecia caused by the sexual stage of the fungus from cracks in the bark which cause an observable bluish-black stain on the wood.
The fungal pathogen responsible for CWD can exist on coffee trees as Gibberella xylarioides, the sexual or perfect stage, or as Fusarium xylarioides, the asexual or imperfect stage.
CWD is spread by wind-born ascospores during its sexual stage or splash-borne conidia, where they land and can persist as a viable source of inoculum in the soil.
Coffee is a major cash crop, with over 2.5 million people directly depending on its production and trade as a livelihood.
Reduced coffee production causes decline of revenue for some African countries , which can also increase food insecurity and overall regression at grassroot level.
This disease causes a threat for coffee growers around the globe as the disease reduces the quantity and quality of the coffee.
Not only does this disease put an economic strain on countries that use coffee as a cash crop, but it also can lead to the rise of coffee prices for consumers everywhere.
Once disease is found, destruction of the coffee plant by cutting it at the ground level and burning it stops the spread of the infection to other plant.
Preventive measures for CWD infection are to avoid wounding of trees for example when removing control weeds, fertilizing soil or by grazing of any animals.
Additionally, maintaining plants’ health by using inorganic fertilizer, manure or mulch to conserve moisture are some ways to decrease the risk of CWD.
The 2019 Wrestling World Cup - Women's freestyle was the first of a set of three Wrestling World Cups in 2019 which were held in Narita, Japan on 16–17 November 2019.
The 1939 Cork Intermediate Hurling Championship was the 30th staging of the Cork Intermediate Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Cork County Board in 1909.
Zoospores are released from sporangium and blown via wind or rain splash and use free water on the leaf to germinate.
Sporangia are produced on the mycelium and can produce zoospores for asexual reproduction or an oogonium and antheridium for sexual reproduction.
Being careful not to over water, providing good drainage, air circulation, and proper potting media are helpful to prevent zoospores from having an optimal environment to move and infect.
The 1940 Cork Intermediate Hurling Championship was the 31st staging of the Cork Intermediate Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Cork County Board in 1909.
In 1913, she switched her studies from mathematics to civil engineering, and entered the Faculty of Physical and Mathematical Sciences of the University of Chile, being the only woman among all the students of that faculty.
In 1920, Acuña began working as a calculator in the Department of Roads and Works of the Empresa de los Ferrocarriles del Estado.
During the course of her career at Empresa, she left a few times to raise her seven children, but always returned before retiring in 1954.
In 1991, the Justicia Acuña Mena Award was created; it is awarded every two years to an outstanding woman engineer in the practice of her profession.
The 1941 Cork Intermediate Hurling Championship was the 32nd staging of the Cork Intermediate Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Cork County Board in 1909.
The 1942 Cork Intermediate Hurling Championship was the 33rd staging of the Cork Intermediate Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Cork County Board in 1909.
He served as the head football coach at Alabama A&M University in Normal, Alabama from 1937 to 1940, Wilberforce University in Wilberforce, Ohio in 1947, Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical College—now known as Alcorn State University—Claiborne County, Mississippi from 1948 to 1956, and Bishop College in Marshall, Texas and Dallas from 1957 to 1973.
Fisher was also the head basketball coach at Alabama A&M from 1937 to 1939 and Alcorn A&M from 1948 to 1956.
The 1943 Cork Intermediate Hurling Championship was the 34th staging of the Cork Intermediate Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Cork County Board in 1909.
The East Hokkaido Cranes formed in April 2019, as a phoenix club following the demise of the Nippon Paper Cranes franchise.
The Paper Cranes had previously existed for 70 years; however, their owners, Nippon Paper Industries, announced in December 2018 that the team would be put up for sale as a result of corporate streamlining and declining revenues.
The East Hokkaido Ice Hockey Club LLC, led by Tanaka Shigeki, announced that they had secured ¥125 million of founding, enabling the establishment of the new team.
Asia League Ice Hockey chairman Sumio Kobayashi announced on 23 April 2019 that the new franchise would join the league, replacing the Paper Cranes, whilst retaining 15 players and playing out of the same arena.
The Cranes played their first regular season game on 31 August 2019, losing 3–2 to the Nikkō Ice Bucks, with forward Taiga Irikura scoring the first goal in franchise history.
She independently released an extended play and studio album before signing a record deal with indie label Reviver Records in 2018.
Arts was nominated for the Discovery Artist Award by the Canadian Country Music Association in 2016 and has received multiple awards from the subsidiary Saskatchewan Country Music Association.
Arts was raised in her hometown of Weyburn, Saskatchewan, where she began taking lessons in piano and singing, and developed an interest in songwriting in her teenage years.
She was awarded the Emerging Artists Award from the Saskatchewan Country Music Association and was nominated for the Discovery Artist program from the Canadian Country Music Association, both in 2016, for her burgeoning success.
Exposure from the show led to increased interest in Arts's music and a record deal from indie label Reviver Records, which she signed in March 2018.
The Duluth City Public Links Golf Tournament (often shortened to Duluth Publinx) was conducted from 1927 to 1962 and determined annually the public course golf champion of Duluth, Minnesota.
Amateur Public Links Championship and the Minnesota State Public Links Championship, the Duluth Publinx was closed to golfers with playing privileges at a golf club not open to the general public.
The first Duluth Publinx tournament was held over Labor Day weekend in September of 1927 at Enger Park Golf Course and sponsored by the Duluth Municipal Amateur Athletic Association.
Against 21 other competitors, Oscar Erickson was the first winner of the tournament shooting rounds of 87 and 86 for a total score of 173 over 36 holes.
By 1931, Campbell was one of the best golfers in the state winning two Minnesota state amateur titles among his many tournament wins during the 1930s before quitting the game at the start of World War II.
Newspaper accounts do not reflect on the details behind the high scores shot during the tournament (Erickson was a Minnesota State Amateur Championship contender in 1930) but one can speculate that the course was probably still immature with construction having begun just a year before.
Oscar Erickson would not defend his title in 1928 having joined the private Ridgeview County Club and becoming ineligible to compete.
Months after his 1941 Duluth Publinx victory, Johnson joined the U.S. Air Corps after Pearl Harbor and was killed in action at the age of 27 in June of 1943 in the Pacific Theater.
The Duluth News-Tribune and the Duluth Herald sponsored a replacement trophy for the tournament which was retired in 1952 after Bob Braff had won the tournament for a third time.
The Duluth City Public Links Golf Tournament was considered for many years one of the more prestigious tournaments for Duluth-area golfers.
In response, a major change was introduced which allowed golfers with membership at a private club to compete for the Public Links title.
The immediate result was an increase in participation with Dave Vosika of Ridgeview Country Club and Leo Spooner of Northland Country Club winning titles from 1960-1962.
But, with the inclusion of private course golfers, the tournament distinctiveness was lost and the title of public course champion was distorted.
In 1963, North Lakes Golf Association (NLGA) officials decided to merge the Duluth City Public Links and the Duluth All-City Golf Tournament into one large event to be known as the All-City Championships.
NLGA officials hoped that one big tournament open to all golfers regardless of club membership or skill would stimulate public interest and renew participant interest.

Procaris noelensis is a species of shrimp, a single specimen having been described by Bruce & Davie from a freshwater/tidally influenced cave system on Christmas Island in 2006.
This species is widely separated geographically from other members of its genus and may be a relict species from the Mesozoic fauna of the Tethys Ocean, with Christmas Island being its refugium.
This theory is reinforced by the fact that it was found living in sympatry with a hippolytid shrimp and an atyid shrimp, the latter coming from another ancient lineage and often found inhabiting anchialine systems.
This species is known from a single female individual, the holotype, found in an anchialine cave where saltwater intrudes into the karst limestone.

Carolyn Jane Maitland (born 22 September 1983), known professionally as Carolyn Maitland, is a British actress, West End singer and performer best known for playing Marian Halcolme in The Woman in White at the Charing Cross Theatre in London, directed by Thom Southerland.
She veers close to opera (as does the largely sung-through show from beginning to end) but that’s a compliment in a production of this ambition.
She was born of the Isle of Wight and went to Cowes High School and now lives in London with her fiancé who she met on Mamma Mia.
That led to creating the role of Rose and understudying Rebecca Thornhill in the role of Karen Holmes in From Here to Eternity at the Shaftesbury Theatre, London in 2013.
Carolyn was directed as Ellen by Claude-Michel Schönberg, Alain Boublil and Cameron Mackintosh three days before opening night when Miss Carroll became sick and couldn't perform.
Groundhog Day premiered in London in 2016 at The Old Vic in London where Carolyn created the role of Joelle and understudied the part of Rita Hanson.
Maitland pulled out before rehearsals due to disagreements with the producer and the production company Wonderland the Musical Ltd regarding her contract.
In 2020 she will be playing the role of Rebecca Hershkowitz in the Park Theatre's production of Rags the Musical playing opposite Dave Willetts who will be playing Avram.

After the end of the war, he took up his position at the University of Heidelberg and then was appointed Rector of the University of Heidelberg in 1947/1948.
He moved to the University of Munich in 1956 and renamed the Institute for Papyrus Research and Ancient Legal History the Leopold Wenger Institute for Ancient Legal History and Papyrus Research in honor of the Austrian historian of Roman law Leopold Wenger (also an Anti-Nazi).
After his retirement in 1970, his former student Dieter Nörr succeeded him as director of the Leopold Wenger Institute for Ancient Legal History and Papyrus Research.
She is a founding board member of the Contemporary Image Collective (CiC), an independent non-profit space for art and culture founded in Cairo in 2004.
In 2004 Maamoun founded independent non-profit space for art and culture Contemporary Image Collective (CiC) in Cairo, becoming its founding board member.
Maamoun was the co-curator of International Visual Arts Festival PhotoCairo3 in Cairo in 2005 and assistant curator for Meeting Points 5 in Berlin in 2007.
In 2014 she curated shows at Sharjah Art Gallery at the American University of Cairo and film program in Wiener Festwochen at Künstlerhaus in Vienna.
The same year she moderated ‘Projections’ panel discussion on independent cinema and screening platforms during the 2018 March Meeting in Sharjah.
She is interested in social conditioning and how the visual presentation of places and environments is expanded to appeal to different audiences.
Her work deals with circulation and function of images in vernacular culture, reframing these as tools for critical insights and analysis.
Her recent video works consider the capacity of images to function critically in a variety of political, social and cultural contexts.
Maamoun is specifically interested in urban fabric of her home city Cairo, drawing attention in her photographic works to the visual contradictions that surround her.
She reflects on generic and overused national symbols and the ways in which they have been appropriated to construct personal narratives and collective histories.
Since 2007 she is working on projects that take as their starting point the Pyramids of Giza as a visual and literary image.
The street lights with an abnormal intensity in the daytime scene and the oversaturated color of well-worn grass and strangled foliage looks unnatural in this notoriously polluted urban hub.
She discovered that a lot of the scenes by the pyramids are quite politically charged and tied to distinct chapters in Egypt’s modern history.
The film starts with the most recent scenes, descends back to the oldest scene, and then ascends up again to the present.
Such chronology gives the film its emotional structure and rhythm as the drama engulfing the pyramids gradually rises and falls with time.
The films moves back and forth between cinematic story by El-Wardany, filmed in Cairo, and the scenes produced with Shaaban in India where is reads a selection of her letters, the camera moving between her and her private and public surroundings.
The film suggests power relations were so up-ended by the revolution that people even started questioning the categories that separate animals from human.
The film appeared as a result of a regular visit by Maamoun to one of the many public notary offices in Egypt when she saw state functionaries saying prayers from soiled and aging sheets of paper.
Calling to our higher selves, our finer temperaments, our sense of forgiveness, and reminding us of the brevity of this material world, these prayers project a parallel world-view to the highly regulated material world of notary offices.
Her work was also shown in biennials and festivals including the 6th Dak’art Biennale, Dakar; Bamaco 03, Mali; 9th Gwangju Biennale; Sharjah Biennial 10; Transmediale 2014, Berlin and 64th Berlinale, Berlin.

Tanzanian troops attacked the Ugandan positions in the hills, and though they suffered heavy casualties in an ambush, they successfully captured them by the end of the day.
The attack was eventually repulsed, and Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere, unsatisfied with Amin's refusal to renounce his claims to Tanzanian territory and the international community's failure to strongly condemn the invasion, ordered his forces to advance into southern Uganda with the aim of capturing the towns of Masaka and Mbarara.
The fighting was fierce, and 24 Tanzanian soldiers were killed when Ugandan troops ambushed a battalion at Kajurungusi that was trying to pursue them.
The ambush remained one of the few military operations well-executed by the Uganda Army during the entire war, while the casualties the Tanzanians suffered represented their largest loss in a single engagement.
In 1971 Colonel Idi Amin launched a military coup that overthrew the President of Uganda, Milton Obote, precipitating a deterioration of relations with the neighbouring state of Tanzania.
On 1 November he announced the annexation of the Kagera Salient, an 1800 square kilometre (720 square mile) strip of land between the Ugandan border and the Kagera River.
Uganda Army troops subsequently pillaged the area they occupied, murdering civilians, stealing cattle, and destroying property, triggering the flight of 40,000 inhabitants southward.
In January 1979 the Tanzania People's Defence Force (TPDF) seized the Ugandan border town of Mutukula to counter any further threats to Kagera.
Though many international actors were sympathetic with the Tanzanian position, numerous African states and the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) strongly encouraged Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere to exercise restraint and not act beyond defending his territory.
He had originally not intended to expand the war, but with Amin refusing to renounce his claims to Tanzanian territory and the OAU's criticism of the Kagera invasion being muted, he decided that Tanzanian forces should occupy southern Uganda—specifically the two major towns of Masaka and Mbarara.
The TPDF assigned the 201st, the 207th, and the 208th Brigades to attack Masaka, while the 206th Brigade led by Brigadier Silas Mayunga was instructed to move on Mbarara.
Whereas the Tanzanian forces fighting towards Masaka enjoyed considerable success—particularly at the Battle of Simba Hills—the 206th Brigade struggled in its advance along twisting roads through rough, hilly terrain.
The situation was further complicated by the fact that some Ugandan troops were fleeing away from the front lines to Mbarara while reinforcements were being deployed from Mbarara towards the Tanzanian border.
On 20 February the 206th Brigade, bolstered by a group of Ugandan rebels, occupied the villages of Murema, Kasese and Kigaragara.
Close to Lake Nakivale, the road crossed rougher terrain and the Ugandan 2nd Paratrooper Battalion entrenched themselves and set-up an ambush at Kajurungusi, which lay west of the lake.
Fearful that he may have been leading his men into a trap, Nshimani paused before a bend in the road to ask an old man if he had seen any Ugandan soldiers nearby.
The man was working with the Ugandans and thus lied to Nshimani, telling him that all the Ugandan troops had retreated from the area.
For most of the rest of the day the remainder of the battalion held its position, exchanging fire while two other Tanzanian battalions sent by Mayunga moved to outflank the Ugandans.
The fighting was intense, and at some points soldiers resorted to hand-to-hand combat, while the Tanzanians brought up tanks to reinforce their position.
Once the Tanzanians' flanking manoeuvre was achieved the two battalions were able to put enough pressure on the Ugandans to allow Nshimani to withdraw his men to higher ground.
The casualties the Tanzanians suffered in the battle were the largest they lost in a single engagement over the course of the conflict.
In the battle's aftermath the TPDF slowed its advance on Masaka and Mbarara, engaging groups of Ugandan soldiers along the way.
Nyerere originally planned to halt his forces in southern Ugandan and allow the Ugandan rebels to attack Kampala and overthrow Amin, as he feared that scenes of Tanzanian troops occupying the city would reflect poorly on his country's image abroad.
However, Ugandan rebel forces did not have the strength to defeat Libyan troops sent to Amin's aid, so Nyerere decided to use the TPDF to take Kampala.

The 2019 Iranian protests are a series of civil protests occurring in multiple cities across Iran, initially from the 200% increase in fuel prices but later extended to an outcry against the current government in Iran and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
The protests commenced in the evening of 15 November and within hours spread to 21 cities as videos of the protest began to circulate online.
The Iranian government employed lethal tactics in order to shut down the protests including a nationwide internet shutdown, shooting protesters dead from rooftops, helicopters, and at close range with machine gun fire.
The government crack down prompted a violent reaction from protesters who destroyed 731 government banks including Iran's central bank, nine Islamic religious centers, tore down anti-American billboards, and posters and statues of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
This series of protests have been categorized as the most violent and severe since the rise of Iran's Islamic Republic in 1979.
In order to block the sharing of information regarding the protests and the deaths of hundreds of protesters on social media platforms, the government blocked the Internet nationwide, resulting in a near-total internet blackout of around six days.

At the 2006 Wordstock Festival, Portland's big literary celebration, Priestley joined a sidebar workshop where two dozen people were waiting to hear Taylor Mali speak.
I immediately fell in love with this poem and desperately tried to connect with Mali after the reading but he was occupied by vending supervisors who would not allow him to sell his books.
That same day, I found Mali’s email address online and sent him a message, following up with many more messages, drawings, videos and gifts.

Golodirsen, sold under the brand name Vyondys 53, is a medication used for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in people who have a confirmed mutation of the dystrophin gene that is amenable to exon 53 skipping.
It works by inducing exon skipping in the dystrophin gene and thereby increasing the amount of dystrophin protein available to muscle fibers.
The most common side effects reported by participants receiving golodirsen in clinical studies were headache, fever (pyrexia), cough, vomiting, abdominal pain, cold symptoms (nasopharyngitis) and nausea.
As of December 2019, golodirsen is approved for therapeutic use in the United States, as well as in the countries that automatically recognise the decisions of the US Food and Drug Administration, under the condition that its benefit will be demonstrated in a confirmatory clinical trial.
In the pivotal clinical trial of golodirsen, dystrophin levels increased, on average, from 0.10% of normal at baseline to 1.02% of normal after 48 weeks of treatment with the drug or longer.
The change was a surrogate endpoint and the trial did not establish clinical benefit of the drug, including changes to subject's motor function.
The most common side effects reported by participants receiving golodirsen in clinical studies were headache, fever (pyrexia), cough, vomiting, abdominal pain, cold symptoms (nasopharyngitis) and nausea.
Hypersensitivity reactions, including rash, fever, itching, hives, skin irritation (dermatitis) and skin peeling (exfoliation), have occurred in people who were treated with golodirsen.
Although renal toxicity was not observed in the clinical studies with golodirsen, renal toxicity, including potentially fatal glomerulonephritis, has been observed after administration of some antisense oligonucleotides.
The application for golodirsen was granted fast track designation, priority review designation, orphan drug designation, and a rare pediatric disease priority review voucher.

In one notable example, Musician Eric Clapton sold 100 of his guitars in a charity auction in 1999 and raised $5 million for his substance abuse treatment facility.
In a charity auction the winning payment benefits a cause that is presumably valued by the bidder as well as competing bidders.
Thus, the bidder receives a benefit from his own payment – both the item won and the value the donation supports the organization – and other bidders do as well, as their charity is supported.
Therefore, bidders have two objectives that could be in conflict with one another: to win items that they value but also to support a charitable cause in part by driving up the price.
Theoretical work has investigated the properties of different formats of charity auctions under the assumption that bidders care about the charity's revenue.
In particular, altruism could play a role, and this altruism could very much depend on the proportion of the proceeds that is donated to charity.

Robert Farmar (1717–1778) was a British Army officer that fought in the Seven Years' War, served as interim governor of British West Florida and later served as the commander at Fort Charlotte.
Farmar was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, the son of Thomas and Anne Farmar, a prominent family in New Jersey.
A British officer was appointed to resolve the situation and ordered him to march his company to New Brunswick for inspection.
Farmar received his captain's commission on January 10, 1741 as he fought alongside the British regulars across the West Indies until the war ended in 1748.
He was promoted to serve with the 34th Regiment of Foot under Lord Frederick Cavendish, the younger son of William Cavendish, 3rd Duke of Devonshire.
On March 5, 1762 the 34th Regiment of Foot sailed from England across the Atlantic and arrived at Havana a few months later on June 6.
The surprise attack lasted a little over an hour and failed, costing the Spaniards 500-600 lives compared to the British loss of around 120 men.
He declared that all of the inhabitants of West Florida were subjects of England and demanded that they take an oath of allegiance to the British Crown.
Upon returning he found that he had lost his commission and would not be serving as governor of the British West Florida colony.

Nadina Mountain, is a remote granitic mountain of volcanic origins located in Nadina Mountain Provincial Park in northern British Columbia, Canada.
Situated south of Houston, British Columbia, it rises 700 meters (2,300 ft) above the forested foothills of the rolling terrain of the Nechako Plateau, upon which it is the third highest peak.
The peak is a striking feature on the surrounding landscape, and is theorized to have been a refugia during the last glacial period.
A permanent snowfield remains on the summit plateau, along with a diverse community of lichen species, but few vascular plants due to nutritionally poor soils from the granitic substrate.
The mountain was established as a park in 2008 due in large part to its wildlife habitat status, especially for mountain goats.
The nearest higher peak is Mount Ney, to the southwest, and precipitation runoff from Nadina drains into tributaries of the Fraser River.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Nadina Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold winters, and mild summers.
Located within Wetʼsuwetʼen First Nations traditional territory, Naydeena Mountain is a place where Wet’suwet’en people would go to hunt caribou, marmot, and mountain goat.
It is found in the South-Central region, in the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and with a single specimen tentatively identified from Missouri.
The National Stadium of Luxembourg is the future national stadium of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, located in the Luxembourg City quarter of Gasperich.
The stadium will host Luxembourg's national football and rugby teams and is to be listed as a Category 4 stadium by UEFA allowing it to host international matches.
The stadium's original October 2019 target date for completion has been delayed due to slow construction progress, with its inaugural match not expected until 2022.
The stadium's design was drawn up by local architectural firm Beng Architectes Associés in conjunction with the Hamburg based Gerkan, Marg and Partners, and selected from a total of 25 submissions by Luxembourg's Minister of Sport and the Mayor of Luxembourg City in September 2014.
Initial ground works on the stadium began in March 2017, with construction work commencing on 21 August 2017, and an official ground breaking ceremony in the presence of Mayor Lydie Polfer held on 18 September 2017.
Works were due to be completed by October 2019, with an estimated cost, at the beginning of construction, of 61.1 million euros, with 40 million euros to be covered by the Ministry of Sport, and the rest by the Luxembourg City municipality.
In December 2019, Luxembourg City authorities said that work on the parking infrastructure for the stadium would only be able to commence in September 2020, and the stadium's inaugural match has been further delayed until 2022.
Due to its location alongside the A6 motorway, the stadium is situated along an east-west axis, in place of the more traditional north-south axis used for stadia.
The stadium is designed to hold a capacity of 9,386 spectators with fully covered seating for sporting events, and can hold up to 15,000 spectators for concerts.
To cope with its dual purpose as a football and rugby venue, as well as hosting occasional concerts, the stadium will be equipped with a hybrid grass playing surface.
Upon the completion of Luxembourg City's new tramline at the end of 2021, the stadium will be served by the future Cloche d'Or tram terminus.
Johannes van Dreght (11 November 1737, Amsterdam - 7 October 1807, Amsterdam) was a Dutch decorative painter; known for his work on fireplaces, carriages, yachts, sleds and fans.
He married in 1761 and was elected to the Stadstekenacademie, Amsterdam, in 1766 and received an honorary prize from the Drawing Academy.
In 1772, he created a chimney piece () for the Town Hall, as well as works for the original Dutch Theater (1774), the buildings at 518 and 520 Herengracht and in the Corvershof, a home belonging to the son of Mayor (1778).
The 2020 Labour Party leadership election was triggered after Jeremy Corbyn announced his intention to resign as Leader of the UK's Labour Party following the party's defeat at the 2019 general election.
To qualify for the ballot, candidates need nominations from 10% (22) of the party's Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of European Parliament (MEPs), followed by support from either 5% (33) of Constituency Labour Parties (CLPs), or from at least three affiliated groups, including two trades unions and representing at least 5% of affiliated members.
Five candidates, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Lisa Nandy, Jess Phillips, Keir Starmer and Emily Thornberry received sufficient nominations to proceed to the second round of nominations.
Starmer had the most nominations from MPs and MEPs at 88, followed by Long-Bailey and Nandy with 33 and 31 nominations respectively.
Starmer achieved sufficient support from affiliates to qualify for the final ballot on 20 January, at which point he also had the greatest number of nominations from CLPs.
Jeremy Corbyn was elected Labour Party leader in a 2015 leadership election and re-elected leader in 2016 after a challenge from Owen Smith.
While Labour gained 30 seats in the 2017 general election, it lost 60 seats in the 2019 election, resulting in the party having its lowest number of seats in the House of Commons since 1935.
Candidates will be elected by members and registered and affiliated supporters, who all receive a maximum of one vote and all votes will be weighted equally.
To stand, candidates needed to be nominated by at least 10% of the combined membership of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) and European Parliamentary Labour Party (EPLP), meaning 22 MPs and MEPs at the time.
They also needed to be nominated by at least 5% of Constituency Labour Parties (CLPs), meaning at least 33 CLPs, or at least three party affiliates that consist of at least 5% of affiliate members including at least two trades unions.
Immediately following the 2019 general election, Keir Starmer, the shadow Brexit secretary, was considered favourite to win the leadership election by the online gambling company Betfair.
Party figures affiliated with Long-Bailey and MPs such as Corbyn, as well as centrist figures like Alastair Campbell, encouraged supporters of their preferred candidates to join the party to vote in the leadership election.
Roy Hattersley, a former deputy leader of the party, wrote on 21 December that MPs should refuse to accept Long-Bailey if she were elected leader.
The shadow foreign secretary, Emily Thornberry, was the first to announce that she was standing for the leadership on 18 December.
She said that her first priority would be to deal with antisemitism in the party by implementing recommendations from the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the Jewish Labour Movement and the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
She criticised Corbyn's senior advisers for overruling her as the shadow foreign secretary and for their strategic decisions in the 2019 general election.
He argued that the party should work more with other political parties on the left, and proposed constitutional reforms including supporting proportional representation and reform of the House of Lords.
She criticised the party's approach to Brexit and Scottish independence, saying that she was opposed to a second referendum on Scottish independence.
Criticising the party's manifesto at the 2019 general election, Phillips said that she would support nationalising railways but wouldn't prioritise further nationalisation.
Starmer, who a poll had indicated was the most popular potential candidate heading into the leadership election, announced his candidacy with a video posted to social media on 4 January followed by a launch in Stevenage.
Long-Bailey is seen by many observers and party colleagues as the continuity candidate who would continue to take the party in the same direction as Corbyn.
Candidates first needed to receive nominations from at least 5% of the party's MPs and MEPs to progress to the second round of nominations.
Starmer won the support of enough MPs and MEPs to progress to the next round of nominations on 8 January, when he was also endorsed by the trade union Unison.
Thornberry was also short of the required nominations at the beginning of the day, but managed to obtain enough to qualify less than ten minutes before the deadline, helped by MPs who had formerly nominated Lewis.
After the close of nominations, the party announced that Long-Bailey, Nandy, Phillips, Starmer and Thornberry would proceed to the next stage of the election.
Of the 7,395 respondents 70% backed Long-Bailey, but the organisation was criticised for not giving the option to endorse other candidates by commentators and some Momentum members.
Starmer became the first candidate to qualify for the ballot on 20 January with his third affiliate nomination, from the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers; at that point, he was also leading in nominations from Constituency Labour Parties (CLPs).
Nandy became the second candidate to quality for the ballot on 22 January, having received backing from the GMB and National Union of Mineworkers unions and the Chinese for Labour socialist society.
To progress to the membership ballot they need to receive backing from the required number of constituency parties or affiliated organisations.
Candidates first needed to be nominated by at least 10% (22) of current Labour MPs and MEPs, who comprise the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) and the European Parliamentary Labour Party (EPLP).
Candidates who passed this threshold then need nominations from at least 5% (33) Constituency Labour Parties (CLPs), or at least three affiliates including at least two trades unions that together represent at least 5% of affiliated members.
Candidates and potential candidates have also received the support of organisations, publications, and of notable people other than current Labour MPs or MEPs.
Before she withdrew, Jess Phillips was endorsed by the journalist Matthew d'Ancona, the Labour peer Philip Hunt and the former MP Melanie Onn.

Despite receiving little attention within Macau, the issue was raised in the Legislative Council following the Hong Kong Legislative Council oath-taking controversy.
In 1845, Queen Maria declared that Macau was to become a free port, in response the nearby Hong Kong being established as such and threatening the economic activity of Macau.
At this time, the government of Macau also became more hostile to the Qing offices established in the area and began a campaign of removing them and expanding the territory of the colony.
In 1887, the Chinese government was forced to sign the Sino-Portuguese Treaty of Peking which, among other concessions, recognised a permanent settlement of Macau by the Portuguese in exchange for Portugal agreeing to not cede the territory to another power without China's consent.
On the 3rd of December 1966, the 12-3 incident broke out which consisted largely of anti-colonial protests by the residents of Macau.
The incident erupted after corrupt colonial officials blocked the already approved construction of a private school for Chinese students on Taipa island as they had not received a bribe.
Police suppression of the ensuing protests led many in Macau to turn against the colonial government, supported by the communist government in China.
The subsequent turmoil, involving blockades by the Chinese military, forced the Portuguese to make a number of consessions to the protesters, including expanding the role of Chinese in the governing of Macau, the payment of reparations to the Chinese community, as well as ceding effective control of the colony to the Communist Party of China through local proxies.
On the 13th of April 1987, the governments of Portugal and China signed the Joint Declaration on the Question of Macau to lay out the terms of the handover of Macau to the PRC.
Much discussion has been had, particularly by former University of Macao scholar Chou Kwok Ping, comparing the histories of Macau and Hong Kong.
Chou notes that while the events of the 1960s in Hong Kong (particularly the Hong Kong 1967 leftist riots) led those in Hong Kong to distrust the communist government in China, the fact that China supported the movements against the Portuguese government in Macau and was successful has led Macanese to look more favorably on China, and their relationship with it.
This has also meant that there is a far less strong sense of local identity in Macau compared with Hong Kong.
The effective loss of control by the colonial government in Macau also led to political stagnation in the colony following the 12-3 incident, while the effectiveness of the Hong Kong government in quelling the riots allowed it to continue to develop.
The magazine The Perspective speculated that the relative lack of independece sentiment in Macau stems from the SAR's reliance on gaming and tourism revenue from the Mainland.
Macau is currently one of the richest regions in the world, and its wealth is derived almost entirely from gambling, which is illegal in the PRC.
In 2016, following an interpretation of the Hong Kong Basic Law by the Standing Committee of the People's Republic of China, the Macau SAR government issued a requirement of all legislators to swear allegience to the Macao Basic Law.
The law also allows for the barring of potential candidates on the basis of their stated positions on issues which the government deems not in keeping with this principle.
In an editorial in Jornal Informação (Son Pou), the policies of the Macau SAR government were lambasted for using unrest in neighbouring Hong Kong as an excuse for its own poor policies, suggesting that the government is ineffective owing to the lack of an engaged populace which will ultimately lead to growing resentment among the populace.
The article also suggested that while public sentiment towards Macau Indepence is largely non-existant, it is likely to grow the more the SAR government raises the issue, particularly as this is often done to cover apparent failures over livelihood issues.
An editorial in the Global Times, a subsidiary of the People's Daily, warned that 'radical elements' were attempting to bring Hong Kong-style unrest to Macau and were promoting independence for the SAR.
The article focused on a candidate in the 2017 Legislative Council elections, Sulu Sou Ka Hou, who was running as a pro-democracy candidate.
Following his election, Sou stated in a radio interview that 'independence' was used as a smear by more conservative members of society.
He also noted that terms such as 'patriotism' were often misused by those in power to refer to loyalty to the ruling authority for personal gain, rather than any genuine feeling towards the country.

Isabelle van Keulen (born 16 December 1966) is a Dutch violinist and violist, performing principally as a chamber musician but also as a concert violist.
Born in Mijdrecht on 16 December 1966, Isabelle van Keulen was raised in an art-loving home in which her father was a painter and her sister a flautist.
In 1983, she won second prize in the Menuhin Young Violinists Competition and the following year was the winner of the Eurovision Young Musicians contest which was televised throughout Europe.
In the early 1990s, she performed frequently as a concert violist, in 1995 she founded the Isos Quartet as first violinist, and in 1996 she founded the Delft International Music Festival which she directed until 2006.
Van Keulen has taken a special interest in performing the works of less recognized modern composers, including Alfred Schnittke, Sofia Gubaidulina, Witold Lutosławski, Allan Pettersson, Hans Henkemans, Erkki-Sven Tüür and Theo Loevendie.
In a treaty signed on 23 March, Slovakia renounced much of its foreign-policy and military autonomy to Germany in exchange for border guarantees and economic assistance.
The radical branch was led by Vojtech Tuka and Alexander Mach, commander of the paramilitary Hlinka Guard, and was supported by Germany due to its acceptance of German dominion.
It was the last group which Germany sought to get rid of, as it could work with Tiso's faction which tended towards pragmatism in its dealings with the Reich.
The summit took place during a quiet spell in the war, shortly after the fall of France and while the defeat of Britain seemed possible.
In another meeting, Adolf Hitler hinted that failure to comply would leave the Slovak State at the mercy of Hungary, by revoking the protection guarantees that Slovakia had obtained in the 1939 German–Slovak treaty.
Ďurčanský was replaced as interior minister by Mach, who aligned the anti-Jewish policy of the Slovak State with that in Germany, while Tuka became foreign minister.
, another Nástupist, was dismissed as Secretary-General of the Slovak People's Party, while Konštantín Čulen, the head of the Propaganda Ministry, was replaced by the radical Karol Murgaš.
Nevertheless, the Germans recognized that the radical candidates were not as competent as the men that they replaced, and were therefore careful not to go too far in demanding influential offices for them.
None of the Slovak leaders (except Mach) was happy with the result; Tuka had hoped to become president or defense minister and was ill-equipped to deal with the demands of the new offices he had obtained.
In 1943, José Sanz Aguado won Spanish Chess Championship after victory in the match against Ramón Rey Ardid - 5½:4½ (+4, =3, -3).

WMHBV is also of great interest to researchers because of its potential to teach us more about the human hepatitis B virus (HBV).
WMHBV is a distant phylogenetic sister species to human HBV, although the evolutionary history of hepatitis B viruses is not well understood.
The discovery of WMHBV opened up the possibility of developing a primate model for HBV, since prior, most hepatitis B research was done with duck or woodchuck models.
Discovery of this pathogen was extremely concerning because the Louisville Zoo was home to a very successful woolly monkey breeding program.
They immediately tested all sixteen members of their woolly monkey colony and found that nine were chronically infected with the virus, and another four showed signs of previously having the virus, which was identifiable via presence serum antibodies to HBV surface antigen (HBsAg).
Analysis of archived woolly monkey sera at the Louisville Zoo suggested that the WMHBV was present in the colony for at least nine years before its discovery.
Its genome is 3,179 nucleotides in length, and encodes 5 proteins: the capsid (core) protein, the large envelope protein (L glycoprotein), the external core antigen, protein P (polymerase), and protein x (multifunctional protein).
The polymerase open reading frame (ORF) is the largest ORF in the genome, and has significant overlap with each of the other genes, perhaps constraining its evolutionary properties.
The core gene of WMHBV was the most similar to human HBV with 85.8-86.9% similarity at the amino acid level, while the WHMBV X gene was most divergent from human HBV with only 64.3-65.6% similarity at the amino acid level.
The majority of virions consist of 240 capsid proteins and display T=4 symmetry, however, a small amount of virions consist of 180 capsid proteins and display T=3 symmetry.
It has been found that sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP), a sodium/bile acid symporter found in the cellular membrane of hepatocytes, acts as a cellular receptor for WMHBV, as well as many other hepadnaviruses.
Following attachment to the NTCP, WMHBV enters into the cell cytoplasm via endocytosis, and the large envelope protein ensures fusion between the endosomal membrane and the viral membrane.
Replication and transcription of the WMHBV has not been extensively studied, but is believed to occur very similarly to all other HBV including human HBV.
Once inside the cell, nuclear localization signals on the capsid protein allow the capsid to bind to importin α-importin β complexes.
Inside, the viral polymerase protein is released and ligates the DNA so that it becomes covalently closed circular DNA, or cccDNA.
The relaxed, partially double stranded circular DNA genome is able to diffuse into an empty capsid through large pores in the capsid.
Chronic infections of WMHBV can go long periods of time before symptoms arise, especially when the woolly monkey is infected at birth.
Woolly monkey autopsy reports from 1974 to 1998 noted hepatitis (liver inflammation), and liver necrosis (sudden liver failure) as two pathologies likely to be linked to WMHBV.
Other probable complications of chronic WMHBV infection include cirrhosis (scarring damage of the liver), and hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer), among other liver diseases.
Chronically infected woolly monkeys have the virus actively replicating in their body, causing the virus to be transmissible in the monkey's bodily fluids.
The vertical transmission of WMHBV from mother to fetus is often the most detrimental, because similar to human HBV, age of infection is highly correlated to the risk of developing a chronic infection.
Woolly monkeys infected with WMHBV at birth have around a 90% chance of developing a chronic infection, while those infected in adulthood have only a 5-10% chance of developing a chronic infection.
Researchers were able to create an infectious clone of WMHBV, coined WMHBV-2, that infects and replicates in black-handed spider monkeys to the same degree that WMHBV replicates in woolly monkeys.

Patrick Mehlen (born in 1968), is a French biologist and research director at the Centre national de recherche scientifique (CNRS) at the Centre Léon-Bérard, a cancer research centre in Lyon.
Patrick Mehlen, a former student at the École normale supérieure de Lyon, defended his Ph.D. thesis at the Claude-Bernard University in 1995.
He is also Director of Translational Research and Innovation at the Léon Bérard Centre since 2013, Director of the DEVweCAN Laboratory of Excellence since 2011 and Director of the Rabelais Institute for Interdisciplinary Cancer Research (Convergence Institute) since 2018.
Patrick Mehlen was one of the discoverers of the addictive receptor paradigm: from an original mechanism of cell death to clinical trials; explained below and which constitutes the presentation of his scientific work.
A few years ago, an original concept of cell biology was proposed: while classical dogma assumed that transmembrane receptors are inactive unless bound by their specific ligand, it was proposed that some receptors could be active not only in the presence of their ligand, but also in their absence.
Thus, they found that the Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) Patched receptor is a dependency receptor and that its ability to induce apoptosis in the absence of Shh is essential for adequate neural tube development.
They also showed that the receptors of netrin-1 DCC and UNC5H regulate the death/survival of specific neurons during the development of the nervous system.
This involvement is not limited to the developing nervous system, as they have shown the importance of UNC5H-induced apoptosis in the formation of blood vessels - angiogenesis.
In the context of cancer, they hypothesized that these receptors are tumor suppressors that would limit cancer progression by inducing apoptosis of tumor cells outside the territories of ligand accessibility/availability.
Interestingly, DCC and UNC5H are considered tumor suppressors because their expression is lost in many cancers suggesting that the presence of these receptors is a constraint to tumor progression.
This has in fact been formally proven by showing that in mice, the invalidation of UNC5H3, the overexpression of netrin-1 in the digestive tract or the specific inactivation of pro-apoptotic DCC activity similarly caused cancer progression.
Thus, aggressive cancers that develop are cancers for which tumor cells block the pathways of dependent receptors and a mechanism for this inactivation of this cell death pathway is that tumor cells acquire an autocrine secretion of netrin-1.
With this in mind, they have generated a drug candidate - anti-netrin-1/NP137 antibody - which is currently being tested in patients with very advanced cancers with very encouraging signs of clinical activity.

The second Johnson ministry began on 13 December 2019, when Queen Elizabeth II invited Boris Johnson to form a new government following the 2019 general election, in which the Conservative party won its biggest majority since 1987.
The Conservative minority first Johnson ministry, which came to power following the resignation of Prime Minister Theresa May in July 2019, could not implement its legislative programme due to a political impasse over Brexit.
While the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011 requires a two-thirds majority vote in parliament to trigger an election, Johnson bypassed this requirement by passing the Early Parliamentary General Election Act 2019.
In the resulting election, held on 12 December 2019, Johnson's Tories won a majority of eighty seats, the largest for a government led by a Conservative prime minister since Margaret Thatcher in 1987.
Initially the ministers were largely identical to those at the end of the first Johnson ministry, excepting the Secretary of State for Wales, in which position Simon Hart replaced Alun Cairns.
Nicky Morgan, who stood down at the general election, and Zac Goldsmith, who lost his seat, were made life peers to allow them to remain in the government.

The House of Commons of the 58th Parliament of the United Kingdom was elected on 12 December 2019 and first met on 17 December 2019.
The criteria for seniority, used in this article, are derived from the way that the Father of the House is selected.
If two or more members were first elected in the same General Election (or at by-elections held on the same day), then priority is given to the one who was sworn in first.
When a member has had broken service, that does not affect his or her seniority (for the purpose of qualifying as the Father of the House) which is based on the latest period of continuous service.
In the House of Commons, the sole mandatory duty of the Father of the House is to preside over the election of a new Speaker whenever that office becomes vacant.
Other members, who were not the first person declared elected to a seat but who joined the House during the Parliament, are not assigned a number.

Charles Pilet, born in February 1931, is a professor-researcher, member of the Institut de France, member of the French Academy of sciences, Honorary President of the French Academy of medicine and the Académie vétérinaire de France, member of the French Academy of technologies, Professor Emeritus and Honorary Director of the École nationale vétérinaire d'Alfort.
Student at the École nationale vétérinaire de Lyon (1950-1954), a graduate in microbiology from the Institut Pasteur de Paris (1955); Assistant (1956), Head of Works (1957) at the École nationale vétérinaire d'Alfort, Charles Pilet graduated from the École nationale vétérinaire d'Alfort in 1960 and was appointed Head of Department in 1964.
He became Director of this School in 1975, and was re-elected and reappointed to this position for a further five-year term in 1980.
Elected corresponding member of the French Academy of sciences in 1990, he became a full member of this company in 2005.
It also belongs to the Romanian Academy of Scientists, the Spanish Academy of Veterinary Sciences and the Italian Society of Veterinary Sciences.
After a series of studies, at the beginning of his career, on several animal disease viruses, some of which were suspected at the time of being transmissible to humans, Charles Pilet directed his research towards the immunology of Brucella, which then led him to focus on immunostimulation.
This property made it possible to distinguish infected animals (carriers of agglutinating antibodies) from vaccinated animals (not carriers of this type of antibody) and thus to facilitate disease prophylaxis.
The diagnosis of chronic human brucellosis is made difficult by the serological silence that is most often observed in this phase of the disease.
Given the essentially cellular nature of brucella immunity, Charles Pilet and his team proposed replacing the traditional serodiagnosis with a cellular test.
This new diagnostic possibility led the microbiology laboratory at the École d'Alfort to receive numerous requests for examinations from Parisian hospitals at the time.
The dogma of the time that the newborn animal or human being was tolerant to a foreign substance was in fact only partially accurate.
Using a particulate antigen extracted from Brucella, Charles Pilet and his team showed that in this case, the newborn mouse could respond very early to antigenic solicitation.
This lack of immune tolerance is probably due to the non-specific activity of Brucella's particulate extracts on the maturation of the immune system, which becomes able to respond to specific antigenic stimulation much earlier by a classical immune response.
This observation relating to immune tolerance, as well as a clinical observation, led to a new direction in Charles Pilet's work.
The isolation of the active ingredient of this bacterium, entrusted to Tsehay Neway, made it possible to isolate a polar glycopeptidolipid (GPLP).
This immunostimulant acting on bone marrow stem cells was also a true hematopoietic growth factor and was able to correct immunosuppression in mice caused by cancer chemotherapy.
The 2020 Liberal Democrats leadership election will be held in 2020 after Jo Swinson, previous leader of the Liberal Democrats, lost her seat in the 2019 general election.
Jo Swinson became leader of the Liberal Democrats in a 2019 leadership election, following the resignation of Vince Cable, beating Ed Davey who then became deputy leader of the party in an uncontested election.
Swinson lost her East Dunbartonshire constituency to Amy Callaghan of the Scottish National Party in the 2019 United Kingdom general election by 149 votes.
As per the party's constitution, when the leader loses their seat, the Commons deputy leader (Davey) and the party president (Sal Brinton initially, with Mark Pack replacing her at the start of 2020 when Brinton's term ended) automatically become co-acting leaders.
Overall, the party won eleven seats in the 2019 general election, one fewer than in the 2017, but with an increased national vote share.
The party's general election campaign was criticised by former Liberal Democrat MP Norman Lamb, blaming the result on their platform of opposition to Brexit.
Current MPs were critical in private of how the decision to support the policy of revoking Article 50 was arrived at and how it was communicated.
On 15 December, Bath MP Wera Hobhouse questioned whether the British people would be ready to accept her as leader of the party, given that she was an immigrant.
On 3 January 2020, Moran made headlines when she came out as pansexual, announcing she is now in a relationship with a woman.
Davey is identified with his belief that the party should defend their record in office as part of the 2010-15 coalition in government.
Another potential division in the campaign is over the large influx of new members to the party recently with a focus on opposition to Brexit, who may be supportive of Hobhouse and her support for rejoining the EU, versus others in the party who focus on liberalism.
Liberal Democrat leadership elections use the alternative vote (instant runoff) system, with all party members being entitled to vote under a one member, one vote system.
The election of a new leader will thus come after that of the Labour Party, allowing time for a review of the party's performance in the 2019 general election.
Ritter was born in Neuchâtel, Switzerland on 31 May 1867, the son of Guillaume (also known as Wilhelm) Ritter (1835–1912), a French architect and hydraulic engineer from Soultz responsible for enabling a supply of fresh water to La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1887, and Josephine Ducrést, a Swiss woman from Berne.
Ritter went to the Jesuit school in Dole, followed by the Collège latin in Neuchâtel from 1881, then in 1885 he enrolled in the Academy of Neuchâtel.
As a young man Ritter was a devotee of Richard Wagner, and he made contact with French Decadent circles in Paris in his early twenties.
After he graduated from the Academy he travelled extensively in Europe, first in the west – Paris, Vienna, Munich – then in the east (Czechoslovakia, Poland, Montenegro, Romania and Slovakia), gathering material for his novels.
The near East provided Ritter with a taste of the exoticism, comparable to the Istanbul described by Pierre Loti, that was a particular fascination to figures within the Decadent movement in Paris, particularly the aesthete Robert de Montesquiou and Sâr Péladan.
Ritter went to Prague in 1888 to learn German, then studied the history of art and music at the University of Vienna for a term, taking a course in harmony from Anton Bruckner.
In 1889, his friend the French architect invited him to Bucharest, the first of a ten-year-long series of repeated trips that Ritter undertook to the east and the Balkans.
Tours in Albania on horseback with his friend Marcel Montandon in 1893 and a traverse of the Carpathians in 1898 by foot followed.
In 1903, during a walking trip across Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia, he met Janko Cádra, who became his companion and secretary until his death in 1927, and he lived with him variously in Prague (for a year between 1904 and 1905), Munich, Monruz (in Neuchâtel), Slovakia and Romania.
In Munich Ritter served as tutor to Prince and Princess Rupprecht for four years, the prince becoming the last heir apparent to the Bavarian throne in 1913.
After the First World War, Ritter spent much time in the newly created Czechoslovakia, but, as a homosexual aesthete and Catholic conservative he felt disillusioned with this progressive and modern democratic country that had thrown off the shackles of empire.
His first works were inspired and comparable to the avant-garde works of the French Symbolists, but over the course of his life his art criticism became increasingly reactionary, dismissing innovations such as Expressionism and Cubism.
3 in Prague on 2 February 1904 and in time he became one of the composer's staunchest advocates, writing glowing reviews of the premieres of Mahler's Symphony No.
Ritter viewed Mahler's music as symbolic of modern Vienna, in the same way as the architecture of Adolf Wagner and the painting of Gustav Klimt and Koloman Moser.
Ritter had first had dealings with Janáček in 1912, agreeing to be a judge in a Club of the Friends of Art competition, but they did not meet until 1923.
Ritter planned to write a book on Janáček, possibly the reason for the frequent meetings that the two had in July 1928, but none was ever written.
The debate about Swiss identity in Switzerland at the turn of the 19th–20th century concerned what constituted Swiss identity: geographical location or race – French, German or Italian.
Ritter's notion that identity was a product of rootedness in a particular location (provoking his ancillary dislike of rootless Americans, city-dwelling Germans and Jews), together with his lifelong affection for Slavs, made a deep impression on Le Corbusier, and was a decisive influence on his journey through the Balkans during his trip to the east in 1911, during which he studied Balkan vernacular architecture.
He received his master of engineering degree in hydrogeololgy and doctor of engineering degree in hydrogeololgy from China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) in 1987 and 1990, respectively.
He served as vice-president of China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) in January 2000, and ten years later promoted to the President position.
Some cases of non-legalized vehicles may be included in this article if they have particularly noticeable characteristics (engine, chassis, body, etc..).
Designed by engineer Giuseppe Merosi, it had a 4-cylinder in-line engine (with camshaft and cylinder head) and provided 70 hp (52 kW) with a top speed of 125 km / h. In the racing version, the power reached 73 hp (54 kW) and a speed of 137 km / h.
From 1922 the Double brothers built the C, D, R and F. Series models Virtually every unit was unique, with significant changes to the chassis, boiler, engine and body.
The extraordinary and well-honored Dubonnet (the heir to the snack maker Dubonnet) commissioned a racing car in Hispano Switzerland based on the Boulogne model.
According to the designer, Mark Birkit, this solution (apparently less sophisticated than the camshafts in the cilinde head) was chosen as less noisy.
This car was the result of a collaboration between young Rust Heinz (heir to the food industry tycoons Heinz) and the signing of bodywork Bohman & Schwartz.
The motorcycle broke the speed record with a speed of 280 km / h, a mark of would remain for 20 years.
Of these, 50.5% spoke Ukrainian, 45.4% Russian, 1.5% Yiddish, 0.9% Belarusian, 0.5% German, 0.5% Moldovan or Romanian, 0.3% Polish, 0.1% Romani, 0.1% Tatar, 0.1% Armenian and 0.1% French as their native language.
He was allowed to continue living with his father, until at age nine he was hired out to Dr. James Norcom, the late tavern keeper's son-in-law.
After the death of Horniblow's widow, her slaves were sold at New Year's Day auction 1828, among them John, his grandmother Molly and Molly's son Mark.
While enslaved by Norcom, John Jacobs learned basic health care and succeeded in teaching himself to read (only very few slaves were literate), but even when he escaped from slavery as a young adult he was not able to write.
Hoping to escape his constant harassment, she started a relationship with Samuel Sawyer, a white lawyer, who would later be elected to the House of Representatives.
Furious, Norcom sold John Jacobs together with Harriet's two children to a slave trader, hoping he would transport them outside the state, thus separating them for ever from their mother and sister.
But the trader had been secretly in league with Sawyer, the children's father, to whom he sold all three of them.
In 1838, John accompanied his new owner Sawyer as his personal servant on his honeymoon trip through the North and got his freedom by simply leaving Sawyer in New York where slavery had been abolished.
Both he himself and his sister make a point of mentioning in their respective memoirs, that John fulfilled his servant's duties to the last, leaving everything in good order and not stealing any money from his master.
After unsuccessfully trying to work for his living by day and to attend school at night, in August 1839 he went on a whaling voyage, taking with him all the books he wanted to study.
After returning after three and a half years, John S. Jacobs, as he called himself after his escape to freedom, became more and more involved with the abolitionists led by William Lloyd Garrison.
Early in 1849, he went on a sixteen-day tour together with Frederick Douglass, who had made his escape from slavery in 1838 only weeks before Jacobs had made his.
It is not clear, whether his decision to go to California and on to Australia was caused by the Fugitive Slave Law.
His sister explicitly states that the law did not apply to John S., because he didn't come to the free states as fugitive, but was brought there by his master.
He didn't have much success either in California or in Australia, and so went on to England, going to sea from there.
When his sister went to Great Britain in 1858 and again in 1867/68, the siblings failed to meet, because on both occasions John was at sea - in 1858, he was in the Middle East, ten years later in India.
The first three parts narrate his life up to his escaping and going on the whaling voyage, the fourth part relates cruelties against other slaves he had witnessed.
Both siblings relate in their respective narratives their own experiences, experiences made together, and episodes in the life of the other sibling.
Harriet's children first appear in the moment they are put into jail together with their uncle in preparation for their sale to the trader.
Since he doesn't mention the parental relationship between his last owner and his sister's children, the reasons for Sawyer's interest in buying children and uncle remain unclear in John Jacobs' tale.
This is also true for the reasons of the good treatment John Jacobs received while being Sawyer's slave, who didn't treat his numerous other slaves well.
In the mid-1860s, aged about 50, John S. Jacobs married Englishwoman Elleanor Ashland, who had two children from a previous relationship.
In 1873, he returned to the U.S. together with his wife and the three children to live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, close to his sister and her daughter Louisa Matilda.
His widow stayed in the United States until her death in 1903, but it seems that there was no further contact between Harriet Jacobs' family and hers.
Harriet's biographer Jean Fagan Yellin supposes that Elleanor Jacobs severed the ties so that her children would not fall victims to American racism.
Katherine Fletcher (born 1976) is a British Conservative Party politician serving as the Member of Parliament (MP) for South Ribble in Lancashire following the 2019 General Election.
She studied Biology at University of Nottingham during which time she worked as a nursing assistant in an elderly care home.

The Future Party was founded on 13 December 2019 by Ahmet Davutoğlu, a former foreign minister and prime minister on behalf of the conservative Justice and Development Party (AKP).
Having been elected prime minister on 28 August 2014 with the support of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Davutoğlu later opposed the latter's moves to transform Turkey's form of government from a parliamentary to a presidential system.
He later expressed interest in forming a new party in opposition to President Erdoğan's administration, and ultimately launched the Future Party on 13 December.
Davutoğlu has stated that the new party would push for a new constitution, return to a parliamentary system and promised education in mother tongue.
As Chief of Staff of the UPDF Air Force, he replaced Major General Paul Lokech, who was assigned special duties in South Sudan.
Gerrit Roelof Diederik van Doesburgh (26 October 1900 – 24 April 1966) was a Dutch chess player, Dutch Chess Championship silver medalist (1936).
At the time of his death, Wiersum was the lawyer of state witness Nabil Bakkali in the Marengo case against the Mocro Maffia led by Ridouan Taghi.
Ridouan Taghi and his henchman Saïd Razzouki are being prosecuted for giving the orders for these murders and for leading a criminal organization.
Nabil Bakkali was arrested on 14 January 2017 for prohibited possession of weapons and on 5 September 2017 for his involvement in the murder of Hakim Changachi, who was killed on 12 January 2017.
A week after the announcement of Bakkali being state witness, on 29 March 2018, Reduan Bakkali was killed by Shurandy S.. Reduan Bakkali was the brother of Nabil Bakkali.
Besides his work as lawyer and judge, he was treasurer for Stichting Rechtshulp Terdoodveroordeelden and he worked as a lawyer for the Dutch & Detained foundation, which provides independent legal advice to Dutch nationals who are detained abroad.
On 6 January 2020, the OM announced that the man arrested in October is the 36-year-old Giërmo Brown from Almere, he is of Surinamese descent.
Brown is also suspected of observing the victim in the stolen vehicles from 30 August 2019, alone or with others, and the handling of these vehicles from 11 June 2019.
When the getaway car, white Opel Combo, was shown on television by the police, Brown bought a plane ticket to Suriname.
They were looking for a man between 20 and 25 years old, with a slender stature, about 1.75 metres tall, and he was dressed in dark clothes.
Two days before the murder a grey Volkswagen Transporter, used for disabled transportation, was driving in the neighborhood were the victim lived for about two hours.
This van was stolen on 5 September 2019 in Brunssum, and was found on 23 September 2019 in a parking garage in Amsterdam-Zuidoost with a flat tire.
On 19 November 2019, the police detained two persons for fencing a stolen vehicle used to monitor the victim before the murder.
This is a preparatory session, which, among other things, looks at the provisional detention of Giërmo Brown.During this session, the prosecutor said they have the following evidence against Brown for his involvement in the murder.
There are camera images, there is paid with Brown's debit card when refueling and the data from his phone matches the movements of the car on twelve dates.
Brown also wanted to know, according to reports, the license plate of the car of Wiersum, because he does not just want to drive laps.
He paid off debts, gave money to his children and paid an amount of more than €15.000 in cash for a car.
According to the OM, all this facts, and the fact that he was trying to flee to Suriname, is enough evidence to hold Brown in prison for three more months.
They also take into account that the murder of lawyer Derk Wiersum should have taken place the day before the actual murder, but that the perpetrators were surprised by the fact that Wiersum took the bike that day instead of taking the car to work.
The people who are the closed linked to the case receive personal security provided by the Royal and Diplomatic Protection Service (DKDB).
The lawyer who succeeded Derk Wiersum as a lawyer for Nabil Bakkali, who wants to stay anonymous for his own safety, already withdraws in early December 2019.
She wants to be able to check whether Bakkali explains from his own knowledge, or has possibly consulted with his lawyers or others.
The 2018 Wyre Forest District Council election took place on 3 May 2018 to elect members of the Wyre Forest District Council in Worcestershire, England.
Cecil Chetwynd Kerr, Marchioness of Lothian (née Lady Cecil Chetwynd-Talbot; 17 April 1808 – 13 May 1877) was a British noblewoman and philanthropist who founded the Anglican Saint John's Church in Jedburgh and the Roman Catholic Saint David's Church in Dalkeith.
Her father took an interest in her education and ensured she was well read and that she had an understanding of their religion.
Kerr married on 12 July 1831 and went to live in Scotland with her husband John Kerr, 7th Marquess of Lothian.
She took an increasing interest in the religious Oxford Movement who argued that Anglicanism needed to reintroduce aspects of Roman Catholicism into their high church practices.
Two years later Newman became a Roman Catholic and in 1851 Kerr under Henry Edward Manning's instruction also converted to Catholicism.
She was only one of the guardians of her children and the others were going to interfere as they were concerned that she may convert them.
Kerr died on one of her frequent trips to Rome in 1877, but she was buried within her church in Dalkeith at the foot of the altar.
The group is led by Aslbek Musin, the son of the former Speaker of the Majlis, Aslan Musin, both of whom are Quranists.
In 2009 there was a public debate on the religious status of Quranists in Kazakhstan, who are represented by the representatives of Izgi Amal within the country.
During the public debate chaired by the Tolerance Society and the National Security Committee, other religious minorities were also scrutinized with probes into their religious status, such as the Krishna Consciousness Society and Salafism.
With regard to the Quranists, concern was particularly raised as the leading base for Islamic scholarship based at Azhar University had recently issued a fatwa declaring the Quranist denomination as being illegal within the country, and furthermore imprisoned the leading Quranist personality within the country called Ahmed Mansour.
Nonetheless, spokesmen of Izgi Amal have argued that it isn't a strictly religious organization and rather engages in activities associated with societal and economic upliftment within Kazakhstan.
For Izgi Amalists who utilize the application of additional sources besides the Quran, their standpoint is that unlike hadithists, they do not consider such texts as canonical to the faith.
From the perspective of some Quran centric Izgi Amalists, the usage of tafsir is permitted, however, reliance on hadith texts as a primary source runs the risk of insinuating that the Quran needs supplemental text, or even suggestive of additional religious texts or the peril of abrogating the Quran.
Diane Wei Liang was born in 1966 in Beijing in the People's Republic of China to an official of the People's Liberation Army,a journalist and Chinese literature professor.
Her parents were both college educated teachers so she spent some of her childhood in a labour and reeducation camp with her parents.
Liang graduated with a doctorate in Business Administration and began to teach in the United States, including in the University of Minnesota, and in the United Kingdom, at Royal Holloway College, University of London and Cranfield School of Management.
They continued trading as Gall & Sheridan until November, when it became Scrymgour & Sons, and was still operating under that name at 115 King William Street in 1962.
The Aiyy Faith ( — Aiyy iteghele) is a neo-Tengrist Yakut religious organization has been registered since 2015 in Yakutsk, Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia.
It has the Aiyy houses and yurts in the villages in which common prayers and bloodless sacrifices with fermented mare's milk are performed.
The doctrine influenced the content of teaching national culture in schools and especially on the training of personnel at the local College of Culture.
Together they requested from the beginning of the 1990s allow the construction of the temple: in 1999, by a decree of the republican authorities, the House of Purification (Archie Diete), the building from a wood, glass and metal wonder composed in the form of three gigantic yurts was laid down and opened in 2002.

The Eureka Iron & Steel Works (also known as Eureka Iron Works and Eureka Iron Company and Wyandotte Mills) was an American iron and steel company in Wyandotte, Michigan.
Philip then came up with the idea that perhaps some sort of new iron enterprise could be developed from this high quality iron ore.
The Eureka Iron Works company was organized in October 1853 with twenty thousand shares that had a value of twenty-five dollars each.
That land was chosen because of the two mile river frontage for receiving iron ore by ship from Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
They also constructed a blast furnace and a bar mill known as the Wyandotte Rolling Mill which was a nearby spin-off company from the same owners of Eureka Iron Works.
The company then in 1865 produced the first steel rails in the United States, which was the beginning of the American steel industry.
They used the facilities and equipment at the adjacent Wyandotte Rolling Mill to form the steel rails from the steel ingots they made.
It was not originally designed for steel production and instead of changing methods the president of the company decided to move the steel production to Chicago.
Another factor that contributed to the demise of the company was that it consumed 50,000 cords of wood a year to make charcoal, an ingredient needed to make iron and steel.
They eventually ran out of local timber and had to ship in charcoal at a high cost that cut into their profits.
Eventually there was little need for iron as most merchants wanted steel that was available from several companies at competitive prices.

The Mountain Health Arena, originally known as the Huntington Civic Center, later as the Huntington Civic Arena and later, for sponsorship reasons as the Big Sandy Superstore Arena, is a municipal complex located in the downtown area of Huntington, West Virginia, one block west of Pullman Square.
It is home to numerous concerts and events, and was the home of the Huntington Hammer of the Ultimate Indoor Football League for 2011.
The $10.5 million Huntington Civic Center was completed in 1977 and was the largest in the state of West Virginia when it opened.
At the time, the city felt it would not be able to accommodate Marshall University basketball, and the arena was thus built in a location that Marshall objected to, and used a design that was not sports friendly.
Marshall thus remained at the older Veterans Memorial Fieldhouse and then constructed its own on-campus arena, the Cam Henderson Center, in 1981.
At first the building was very successful; however, the completion of a larger arena in nearby Charleston, and the 25-year delay in construction of what became Pullman Square caused the building to become a money losing effort for the city.
From 1993 to 2000, the facility, by then called the Huntington Civic Arena, was home to the Huntington Blizzard of the ECHL.
In addition, the arena served as the home of the River Cities LocoMotives of the NIFL during their only season in 2001.
The naming rights for the arena were purchased by Big Sandy Superstores, a regional chain of furniture and appliance stores, when this deal expired it resumed its generic name for a short time and then the sponsorship rights were acquired by the Mountain Health System.
In fall 1997, $3.5 million was allocated in bonds to renovate the aging Civic Center; however, work did not begin until 2000.
The floor was originally installed in the Cam Henderson Center and was sold to the Fieldhouse when the current Henderson Center floor was installed.
At the time the floor was purchased from the Fieldhouse, it still had the markings and logos from Marshall University's Mid-American Conference era.

Hart is being investigated over antisemitism and Islamophobia by the Conservative Party, over content which she shared and comments that she made on social media.
Receiving 16,516 votes (34.5%), Hart failed to be elected by 8,792 votes, finishing in second place behind Labour candidate Laura Pidcock.
In December 2019, an inquiry was initiated by the Conservative Party into Hart after it was discovered that in 2017, she shared a video which contained the conspiracy theory that Jewish billionaire George Soros owns the European Union.
A second investigation was opened days later over her sharing a blog post in January 2017 by the anti-Islam activist Cheri Berens.
Berens claimed that the U.S. media is controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood, and that they wish American women to have abortions so as to limit the non-Muslim population.
Hart was not suspended pending either of these investigations and was elected on 12 December as MP for Hastings and Rye with 26,896 votes (49.6%) and a majority of 4,045 votes.

William Francis Clarke (March 19, 1816 – October 17, 1890) was an American Catholic priest and Jesuit who held several senior positions at Jesuit institutions in Maryland and Washington, D.C. Born in Washington, he descended from several early colonial families of Maryland.
He was educated at Gonzaga College and its successor institutions during the suppression of the Society of Jesus, followed by Georgetown College.
After his entrance into the Jesuit order, he taught for several years at Georgetown, and became the pastor of St. Joseph's Church in Baltimore, where he took uncommon measures to integrate black Catholics and Italian immigrants into parish life.
In 1858, he became the President of Loyola College in Maryland, remaining only two years before becoming the President of Gonzaga College and rector of St. Aloysius Church, which were impacted by the onset of the American Civil War.
His ancestry on his father's side included Robert Clarke, one of the founders of the British Colony of Maryland, and a member of the colonial Maryland General Assembly.
When the Society of Jesus was suppressed worldwide, the Jesuit president of Gonzaga, Jeremiah Keily, disobeyed his superiors by attempting to continue the operation of Gonzaga.
He informed the parents, including Clarke's, that classes would resume at a new location on Capitol Hill, without informing them of the school's official closure by the superiors.
Clarke attended Keily's school for two years, before Keily transferred leadership to a Virginia educator named Hughes, who relocated the school to East Capitol Street.
He then entered the Society of Jesus on August 14, 1833, and was sent to the Jesuit novitiates in White Marsh, Maryland and then Frederick, Maryland.
That year, his health rapidly failed and, fearing for his life, his superiors sent him to Bohemia Manor, Maryland to recuperate.
He established the first sodality for black Catholics in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, and introduced the Oblate Sisters of Providence, an order of black religious sisters, to the parish, placing them in charge of a school.
Vicinanza deliver sermons in Italian for the Italian immigrants in the parish, representing the first Italian religious services in the archdiocese.
Succeeding John Early, he remained for only two years, before being appointed President of Gonzaga College in Washington, D.C., to replace Charles H. Stonestreet.
In addition to his administration of the College, he also opened a parochial school in the basement of St. Aloysius for younger students.
This parochial school was moved to a property owned by Senator Stephen Douglas that he rented on I Street on September 24, 1860.
Clarke's tenure at Loyola College came to an end in August 1888, when he returned to Gonzaga College to teach and perform ministerial work at St. Aloysius Church.
In his later years, he remained an active preacher, delivering sermons to mark major occasions and anniversaries in Baltimore, Washington, and Philadelphia.
He came to be considered an authority who was consulted on theological questions, and he catechized students, resulting in a substantial number of conversions to Catholicism.
Following the disappointing launch of Fallout 76, Pete Hines defended the game, committing to improving the game and drawing comparisons with Elder Scrolls Online.
In a unanimous opinion, the Supreme Court ruled that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) was not entitled to be reimbursed for attorney's fees from patent applicants who file appeals against USPTO decisions.
The case reinforced the application of the American rule, a default principle in United States law which states that, in a lawsuit, each party is responsible for paying its own attorney's fees unless there is a legal or contractual requirement that says otherwise.
This case attracted attention from many intellectual property and law associations, many of whom (including the American Bar Association) filed friend-of-the-court briefs arguing against the government's request for attorney's fees from the plaintiff.
In December 2001, a doctor named Hans Klingemann filed a patent application for a new method of treating cancer using natural killer cells.
The patent examiners noted that medical researchers had, since the 1980s and 1990s, known that natural killer cells could combat cancer cells and that Klingemann's patent application was insufficiently novel to receive a patent.
NantKwest appealed the decision internally to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (then known as the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences), which is the internal USPTO administrative board that reviews decisions by USPTO's patent examiners.
NantKwest decided to file its appeal in the District Court under section 145 of the Patent Act, which allows dissatisfied patent applicatnts to file their appeal in the Eastern District of Virginia, rather than the Federal Circuit (which normally hears appeals of decisions by government agencies).
As a district court, the Eastern District of Virginia has original jurisdiction, which allows the litigants to introduce new evidence not considered by the Board of Patent Appeals.
This is in contrast to the Federal Circuit, which as an appellate court can only consider evidence that was in the record reviewed by the Board of Patent Appeals.
Prior to discovery, USPTO filed a motion for summary judgment (essentially arguing that the court had enough agreed-upon facts on the record to rule on the case immediately without conducting further proceedings).
NantKwest responded to the motion, arguing that it had additional evidence and that there were enough factual disputes left to warrant a full trial.
The District Court granted USPTO's motion for summary judgment, ruling in favor of the agency that NantKwest's patent claims were invalid due to obviousness.
Among those expenses were $78,592.50 of attorneys' fees, which were a pro rata allocation of the three USPTO employees (two attorneys and one paralegal) who worked on the case.
The case was heard in 2017 by a three-judge panel of the Federal Circuit, which included Chief Judge Sharon Prost as well as Judges Timothy B. Dyk and Kara Farnandez Stoll.
In her dissent, Judge Stoll argued that section 145 lacked the specificity needed to indicate that Congress had the intent to depart from the American Rule and allow for attorney fees to be awarded.
On its own accord, the full Federal Circuit chose to rehear the case en banc -- with all active judges on the panel participating (with the exception of Judge Raymond T. Chen, who recused himself since he was once an attorney for USPTO).
The court adopted a similar position to Judge Stoll's dissent, ruling that the language of section 145 was not enough to overcome the default American Rule or require that the plaintiffs pay USPTO's attorney fees in addition to the other expenses of the trial.
The opinion noted that this was the first time in the history of section 145 that USPTO had requested reimbursement for attorney fees.

His first business ideas for the NSBM were a number of lines from Rotterdam up the rivers, and to some cities on the North Sea.
In April 1825 the NSBM raised funds for: a steam packet for a line to Hamburg; a tugboat for rivers and estuaries; a steam vessel for the Rhine; and a steam vessel for service between Antwerpen and Boom (a town on the Schelde).
The idea for the corporation was that Cockerill would have the monopoly on steam engines for ships in the Netherlands, and would only deliver to the NSBM.
A positive explanation for this monopoly was that the NSBM wanted to prevent its knowledge from leaking away via Cockerill, but of course it could not hold.
The invention of the compound engine was of great significance for the company because it gave the NSBM a competitive advantage.
The area measured about 10 hectares and was bordered by the Meuse and a harbor that could be entered on both sides.
It had three cupola furnaces, a 'togtoven' (fourneau à vent), a heavy crane, an iron basement, an oven for baking shapes, and all other things required at an iron foundry for even the heaviest pieces.
On the second floor of one of the buildings there were even more lathes, facilities for model makers, and carpenters, and a model room.
The construction of the Mosel had just began, and a new iron ship for a line to Antwerpen had been laid down in October and was expected to be launched in February.
The iron foundry was busy with parts of a bridge that would be build in Rotterdam according to a design by Rose.
The Department of the Colonies was lucky that it had paid only 100,000 guilders of the total price of 350,000 guilders.
After the independence of Belgium there was a possibility that Belgium would eliminate the Dutch transit trade to Germany by constructing a railway from Antwerpen to Cologne.
Such a railway would be realized from Antwerpen to Liège, Aachen and Cologne in 1843, at a time that the harbor of Antwerpen had far better accessibility than that of Rotterdam.
However, the heavy tugboat tugged river barges upstream and proved more than a match for rail transport, especially for bulk cargo.
The average speed of the Rhine is about 3 knots, but that in narrow places it can be double that amount.
Early steam vessels on the Rhine were successful if they could cost-effectively steam upstream by themselves while carrying enough passengers and freight to cover the cost.
In this respect the higher power-to-weight ratio of a high pressure engine, or even better, a compound engine contributes to economic feasibility.
In 1836 the Dutch government wanted to promote the export of colonial goods to Germany by improving transport on the middle Rhine.
On the same 14 December 1837 that a previous ship was launched, another ship was laid down, which would be made entirely out of iron, and would serve on the same line.
She was over 62 m long, 9.41 m wide and had a draught of only 1.57 m. The diameter of the paddle wheels was 7.48 m at a width of 3.76.
The message that in early May 1838 Fijenoord launched the steam vessels Admiraal de Ruyter and Graaf van Rechteren for the Rijn- en IJssel Stoombootmaatschappij.
The iron Drusus was built for the Rijn- en IJssel Stoombootmaatschappij to use on the line from Kampen to Cologne that would be tuned to the service by the Admiraal van Kinsbergen.
She was 44 m long, 5.65 m wide, and had a draught of 2.5 feet, her an engine had 65 hp.
On 19 May 1841 Fijenoord launched a ship for a line to Venlo of 80 hp and a ship for service to Mannheim of 120 hp, the longest iron ship yet built in Europe.
In October 1839 there was news that an iron sailing ship for service in the East Indies would be built at Fijenoord.
It had to be able to pull 2,500 tons of merchandise from Samara to Rybinsk in 20 days, and the empty ship train backward in 8 days.
On 2 May the Wolga then left Rybinsk, pulling two barges of 400 feet long with a draught of 5 feet.
By January 1847 Fijenoord was working on a tugboat of 460 hp, and in April another tugboat of the same power had been ordered.
It consisted of two tugboats as well as machinery and 20 men (with their wives and children) required to build a new shipyard on the Wolga for building iron tugboats and wooden barges.
On 1 February 1845 a steam tug ship of 54 m by 10 m for service on the Rhine was launched.
These were intended to burn coal of low quality The idea was that she could pull barges loaded with coal up these stretches of the Rhine more economically than horses could.
Another explanation could be that Fijenoord had only built paddle engines when the Medusa was started in 1852, but in light of the above this can only hold for big engines.
On 3 November 1857 the Madura was relaunched in Surabaya, with a note that she was of the same type as the Kinsbergen.
In May 1866 four steam paddle ships of 200 hp and 1,000 ton displacement 'primarily meant for transport duties' were ordered for the Department of the Colonies, two at Van Vlissingen en Dudok van Heel, and two at Fijenoord.
She was as long as the later built monitors, but had a beam of only 6.10 m as opposed to the 13.4 m of the later monitors.
Apart from having the very vulnerable paddle propulsion, Stoom Kanonneerboot No 1 was a simple casemate ironclad like the much bigger CSS Virginia.
One of the reasons was that the government wanted to have a facility for repairing armored ships in the south in case of war.
Dutch shipping companies had insufficient confidence in the capabilities of the indigenous industry and therefore used to order their ocean going steamers in Great Britain.
She sailed to Baltimore in September 1881, and with an efficient coal consumption of only 0.86 kg/hp/h she proved a complete success.
On 1 January 1882 this ship left Rotterdam for New-York, and suffered so much damage in a storm, that she had to be saved by the Napier of captain Anderson.
The Edam re-entered service, but on 21 September 1882 she was hit midships by SS Lepanto and sank in 20 minutes.
From 1863 onward the British Nederlandsch-Indische Stoomvaartmaatschappij had held the concession for a number of subsidized shipping lines in the Dutch East Indies.
The KPM became very important for the Dutch ship building industry, because it would order all of its ships in the Netherlands.
During World War I the Dutch shipyards could not be very active because the raw materials they had to import became scarce.
This was also true for Fijenoord, which was able to amass funds that it would use to modernize the company after the war.
A dip was caused by a very long strike in 1921, and the 1921-1923 German hyperinflation that put pressure on prices.
Political developments made that this ship was cancelled, and no serious ships were ordered for the navy in the post war years.
The slipways and other installations continued for some time at the Fijenoord location before the new company was able to concentrate all activities in Schiedam.

In the fall of 615, when Emperor Yang of Sui was visiting Yanmen Commandery on the northern frontier, the khagan launched a surprise attack on the area, overrunning most of its Chinese settlements.

Nevertheless, John Blandish, before his demise, puts his entire fortune in her name and in the care of a trust that wishes to keep the fortune and ensure that she is confined in the asylum as an 'insane person', lest Carol decides to claim her due inheritance.

The choice of law clause stated that the contract would be governed pursuant to the laws in force at the office of W, which was Montreal.
In that regard, a reconditioned crankshaft was mounted onto a new bedplate at W's factory in Zwolle in November 2006 and delivered to the ship at Halifax in February 2007.
The crankshaft sustained a catastrophic failure in October 2009, while the vessel was on route on the Saint Lawrence River near Les Escoumins.
W also stated that the warranty period specified in the contract had already expired, which was allowed under Canadian maritime law, while D submitted that such limitation clauses are not enforceable in Quebec civil law insofar as they concern latent defects.
In the majority ruling, Mainville JA stated that the lower court had erred in law by not noting that Canadian maritime law explicitly included matters concerning the supply of ships as well as their construction and repair.
Appeal was allowed with costs throughout, setting aside the judgment of the Court of Appeal and restoring that of the Superior Court.
The Justices split 6-3 as to the reasoning behind the ruling, and both sides were at variance with the reasons given by the lower courts.
The Court observed that the Court of Appeal's analysis was incomplete, having stopped without considering whether there could be provincial jurisdiction as well in the matter.
The minority held that jurisdiction was ultimately based on an analysis of its pith and substance, and stated that both courts below had erred in their application of the test.
It therefore did not arise in the present context, and so the property and civil rights power within provincial jurisdiction applied.
The Court's observation that the paramountcy doctrine did not apply where the Parliament of Canada has not legislated on a particular aspect is seen as an invitation for such action to take place.
By holding that Canadian maritime law is a body of law separate from either common or civil law, and that the dispute could have been avoided by a more precisely worded choice of law clause, parties to future maritime contracts will need to carefully consider consequences of their drafting.

An urban wealth fund (UWF) is an investment fund that is set up to manage the assets of a city, often with the objective of maximizing return on the assets as a means of generating revenue for the city government.
Such funds are publicly owned by the city but administered by an independent management structure that is free from political influence and concentrates on maximization of value.
Some economists and politicians advocate for the establishment of UWFs as a means of making more efficient use of city-owned assets such as land in order to generate revenue without necessarily resorting to tax increases or borrowing.
The company was established after the original Telltale Games filed for assignment in October 2018 and were forced to shut down and sell off assets.
LCG Entertainment had been able to acquire the rights to much of the original Telltale intellectual property (IP), including branding, games, and game licenses, and announced in August 2019 they would be bringing the old Telltale Games titles back.
While the studio continued to build on its successes, the period leading up to 2016 created a lot of internal strife within Telltale, focusing on quantity of titles released over quality, and led to underperforming sales of hastily-produced titles.
However, after a few major deals fell through in September 2018, Telltale announced its immediate closure, cancelling all current projects, and by October 2018, had filed for assignment.
In February 2019, the company started to negotiate with Sherwood Partners, the company managing the liquidation of Telltale's properties, to acquire much of remaining Telltale licenses and games.
LCG gained a number of investments to help secure the purchase, including Athlon Games and video game industry figures Chris Kingsley, Lyle Hall, and Tobias Sjögren.
On August 28, 2019 LCG publicly announced the acquisition of much of the Telltale Games assets, and that it would be doing business as Telltale Games in the future.
Among the company's plans were to republish the back catalog of Telltale Games they had acquired, working with Athlon Games as a publishing partner.
Subsequently, the company took over the current publishing support of those games it has acquired the license to for digital platforms such as Steam.
Some concern was raised on this announcement in the gaming industry, with some believing that the new company should pay all the debts incurred to the former Telltale Games staff or offer positions to all former employees, while others had called for a boycott on any games released by this company.
The company's goal was to start small with a staff of about 30 to 35 people by the end of 2020, using freelancing and outsource contracting until the company established itself, and then expand out.
To avoid the issues that plagued the former Telltale, Ottilie said that they will be making sure their business practices are sustainable, not growing too fast to be able to manage costs better.
While the old Telltale had planned and started work on a sequel to the game, all work had been cancelled when the company closed down.
For the revived sequel, the new Telltale brought on AdHoc Studio, a studio formed by former members from Telltale, who will focus on the game's narrative and cinematics, while Telltale will handle the gameplay and transition to the Unreal Engine.

Palácio do Grilo (English: Grilo Palace) classified as Public Interest Monument since 2011, also known as the Palace of the Dukes of Lafões (Portuguese: Palácio dos Duques de Lafões), is located at the corner of Grilo Street with the Dukes of Lafões Sidewalk, standing in the Beato parish in the heart of the city of Lisbon.
The construction of the building is intimately related to a few historical contingencies that have witnessed the Palace's extensive erection process.
The Grilo Palace is set upon a pre-existent palatian structure located at the Grilo Farm that previously belonged to D. António de Mascarenhas.
This farm was constituted by a very large land property that ascended the uphill pronounced slope, known today as Dukes of Lafões Sidewalk.
Following Lisbon’s massive earthquake on the 1st November of 1755, it is attributed to D. Pedro Henrique de Bragança having refused to light up his residence on the occasion of the marriage between the Infant D. Pedro III and the king’s eldest daughter and future queen, D. Maria I, princess of Brazil.
The Duke D. Pedro Henrique de Bragança was one of the only two pretenders to the princess's hand, and consequently also to the portuguese throne as consort king.
It’s important to understand that this particular occurrence happened a few years after found himself in a dispute with his uncle, king D. John V of Portugal, that originated due to D. Pedro Henrique de Bragança’s romantic relationship with Luísa Clara de Portugal.
The 1st Duke of Lafões directed the construction of Grilo Palace after Lisbon’s massive earthquake on the 1st November of 1755.
D. Pedro Henrique was first given the opportunity however due to his premature death in 1761, it was delegated to the Duke’s younger brother: D. João Carlos de Bragança, Duke de Lafões.
The construction structures that integrate the current architectonic complex of Grilo Palace are constituted by the sum of the interventions made throughout the years.
The interior is synonymous of decorative programs around cultural diversity and erudition, there are sets of murals painting by Cyrillo Volkmar Machado and canvases from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, they integrate theme lounges in the palace, such as the hall of the academy, the hall of Venus or the Chinese room.
The structure was arranged in L shape, having its major compound oriented in the North-South direction, being thus vertical to Tejo River whilst the structure's minor compound was in turn facing towards the river, as well as the public avenue.
The patio was located at the upper level of the street and could be accessed through a ramp that went under the shorter compound of the L shaped structure.
The main part of the palace, the larger body of the L shaped compound is, to this day, sensible to the already existing complex formed by the western wing.
The main section standing on the avenue was doubled forming a facade of 11 apertures divided in 2 levels: ground level and noble floor.
Similarly, the patio at the superior level with fairly approximate dimensions was also kept in the reconstruction project, with only minor corrections being necessary in order to maintain symmetry.
At the ground level, springing from the facade a great lounge was suggested, from which a simplified staircase would come to lead the way to a grand open ballroom, towering that same patio.
Taking advantage of the slope in a masterly way, this new building provided access directly into the patio through a ramp today known as Duke of Lafões Sidewalk.
At the same level and connected to this lounge, was displayed another partition of extensive spaciousness, presumably destined to become a library considering the delimited markings on the plant.
In opposition to the tradition of other Lisbon palaces, the Palacio do Grilo project is composed of a scholarly complexity, characteristic of whom was used to maneuver architecture as a theoretical exercise of styling and to whom great palatian constructions would extend throughout Europe.
The forest, part of the of forest in Ontario, is named after Ferdinand Larose, and is owned and managed by the county.
Recreational activities in the multi-purpose forest include hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, hunting and trapping, animal watching, horseback, ATV and snowmobile riding.
All of Eastern Ontario was originally forested with large stands of maple, white cedar, white pine and tamarack, as well as red pine wherever the soil was sandy.
Other than trapping for the fur trade, little to no human development occurred and the area remained untouched until the end of the 18th century.
Rivers that previously flowed year-round became intermittent or dried up, fires would burn out of control, the sandy soil eroded, and certain animal and plant species completely disappeared while other species proliferated to the point of becoming pests.
To address the problems, a replanting project was initiated in the 1920s, spearheaded by Ferdinand Larose who was the agricultural representative for the Counties of Prescott and Russell.
In 1928, Larose persuaded the Russell County Council to purchase from private landowners for reforestation in the Bourget Desert, and that same year, the first were planted in red pine, with Leo Lapalm of Bourget as planting foreman.
While the county owned the land, management was the responsibility of Ontario Department of Lands and Forests (now Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry).
Initially mostly red pine, white pine, and white spruce were planted, while later on poplar, birch, and other deciduous trees were added.
By 2016, more than 18 million trees had been planted and the first seedlings planted in 1928 had grown to about in height.
Based on the nearest climate station in Russell, the mean annual temperature in Larose Forest is for the period 1981-2010, up from for the period 1971-2000.
January is the coldest month of the year (with a daily average temperature of ) and July is the warmest month (daily average temperature of ).
Soils are mostly acidic fine sands of the well drained Uplands, imperfectly drained Rubicon, and poorly drained Saint-Samuel series, all of which have a classic podzol appearance in undisturbed areas.
Whereas in 1994 the density of moose in Larose Forest was 7.0 moose per 10 km, it had reduced to 2.2 per 10 km by 2007.
As of September 2016, 70 species of lichen have been identified, of which 2 are regionally or provincially rare or significant.

The National Union of Scalemakers was a trade union representing workers involved in making weighing scales in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Initially very small, the union expanded steadily, opening branches in Liverpool and Sheffield in 1910, and expanding into Wales in 1911, Scotland in 1912, and Ireland in 1918.
Wage reductions in the industry and poor organisation led to financial difficulties, which culminated in 1923 with the London branch splitting away.
The London branch claimed to represent the continuation of the union, and it was moderately successful, reaching 150 members by 1927.
The remainder of the union struggled to survive, making its general and financial secretary post part-time, and renaming itself as the Society of Scale Beam and Weighing Machinists.
It registered as a trade union in 1924 and affiliated to the Trades Union Congress (TUC), but declined to only 150 members.
The TUC was concerned about the conflict between the two unions, and brokered a merger, which took place at the start of 1928, although the union still had a membership of only 282.
In 1939, it was able to make the general and financial secretary position full-time again, and by 1949 it had a membership of 2,500.

Win Bright (Japanese ウインブライト, foaled 12 May 2014) is a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse best known for his performances in Hong Kong.
He showed good early form, winning once as a juvenile and taking the Spring Stakes and Fukushima Kinen in the following year.
As a four-year-old he added a win over a strong field in the Nakayama Kinen but the rest of his form was unremarkable.
He reached his peak as a five-year-old in 2019 when he won the Nakayama Kimpai and a second Nakayama Kinen before capturing the Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Sha Tin Racecourse.
During his racing career he was trained by Yoshihiro Hatakeyama and raced in the black, white and red colours of Win Co Ltd.
He had a white blaze and white socks on his hind legs but these markings became less visible as his coat lightened.
He was from the eleventh crop of foals sired by Stay Gold a horse whose wins included the Dubai Sheema Classic and Hong Kong Vase in 2001.
Win Bright's dam Summer Eternity, from whom he inherited his colour, won three minor races in four seasons on the track between 2007 and 2010 Her grand-dam Miss Guelain was a half-sister to the dam of the Yushun Himba winner Cosmo Dream.
Win Bright began his racing career by finishing sixth in a contest for previously unraced juveniles over 1800 metres at Tokyo Racecourse on 26 June and then ran fifth in a maiden race over the same distance at Fukushima Racecourse four weeks later.
At Tokyo on 12 November the colt recorded his first success when he won a maiden from Meiner Raptis and eleven others.
On his final run of the year he finished second to Outliers in a minor race over 1600 metres at Nakayama Racecourse in December.
He was then stepped up in class for the Spring Stakes (a major trial race for the Grade 2 Satsuki Sho) over the same course and distance on 19 March and started the 8.1/1 fourth choice in the betting behind Satono Ares (winner of the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes), Outliers, Tricolore Bleu and Monde Can Know.
After being settled towards the rear by Matsuoka he was switched to the outside in the straight and produced a sustained run to take the lead in last 100 metres and win by half a length from Outliers.
In the Shuka Sho over 2000 metres at the same track he started slowly, and never looked likely to win despite making late progress on the outside, coming home eighth of the eighteen runners behind Al Ain.
Win Bright was then stepped up in distance to contest the 2400 Tokyo Yushun on 28 May, in which he started a 133/1 outsider and finished towards the rear behind Rey de Oro after fading in the closing stages.
After a break of over four months Win Bright was matched against older horses in the Grade 2 Mainichi Okan over 1800 metres at Tokyo and finished tenth of the twelve runners behind Real Steel.
On his final run of the year the colt started the 4.4/1 second favourite for the Group 3 Fukushima Kinen on 12 November.
After racing in third place for most of the way, Win Bright went to the front early in the straight and held on to win by a neck from the six-year-old Suzuka Devious in a tight finish.
Win Bright's third campaign began at Nakayama on 6 January 2018 when he was beaten a neck into second place by the favoured Seda Brillantes in the Grade 3 Nakayama Kimpai.
At the same track on 25 February he contested the Grade 2 Nakayama Kinen and started at 4.3/1 in a ten-runner field which also included the Grade 1 winners Persian Knight (Mile Championship), Aerolithe (NHK Mile Cup) and Vivlos.
After racing in mid-division, Win Bright made a forward move approaching the final turn, overtook the front-running Maltese Apogee in the straight, and held off the late challenge of Aerolithe to win by a neck.
Win Bright was then moved up to Grade 1 class for the Osaka Hai at Hanshin Racecourse on 1 April but never looked likely to win and finished unplaced behind Suave Richard.
He returned to the track in autumn but failed to reproduce his best form in two races, finishing tenth to Logi Cry in the Fuji Stakes at Tokyo in October, and ninth to Stelvio in the Mile Championship at Kyoto Racecourse in November.
As in the previous year, Win Bright began his season in the Nakayama Kimpai and went one better than in 2018 as came with a strong late run on the outside to take the lead inside the last 100 metres and won by half a length from Stay Foolish at odds of 7.4/1.
In the following month he started at odds of 6/1 as he attempted to repeat his 2018 success in the Nakayama Kinen, facing ten rivals including Deirdre, Lucky Lilac, Epoca d'Oro, Stelvio and Suave Richard.
After racing in fourth place for most of the way Win Bright stayed on strongly in the straight and won by a neck and a head from Lucky Lilac and Stelvio.
For his next start Win Bright joined Lys Gracieux and Deirdre in a three-horse Japanese challenge for the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup over 2000 metres at Sha Tin Racecourse in Hong Kong and started a 47/1 outsider in a thirteen-runner field.
The home contingent included Exultant (Hong Kong Vase), Glorious Forever (2018 Hong Kong Cup), Pakistan Star (winner of the race in 2018) and Time Warp (2017 Hong Kong Cup).
After starting slowly Win Bright settled in mid-division on the inside as Time Warp set the pace from Glorious Forever, before making a forward move on the final turn.
He briefly struggled to obtain a clear run in the straight but overtook Pakistan Star 100 metres from the finish and won by three quarters of a length from Exultant and Lys Gracieux.
When Win Bright returned to the track in autumn he ran disappointingly in the Sankei Sho All Comers at Nakayama in September and then finished unplaced when starting a 148/1 outsider for the autumn edition of the Tenno Sho at Tokyo a month later.
On 8 December the horse returned to Sha Tin for the Hong Kong Cup and started the 4.4/1 third choice in the betting behind the locally trained duo Furore (Hong Kong Derby) and Rise High (Sha Tin Trophy).
Win Bright settled behind the leaders took the lead 150 metres from the finish and held off the late challenge of Magic Wand to win by a nose.
In January 2020, at the JRA Awards for 2019, Win Bright was voted Best Older Male Horse, beating Indy Champ by 136 votes to 118.

Leadbeater was educated at the University of Edinburgh where she was awarded a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2001 and Leiden University where she did a MSc in Evolutionary and Ecological Science in 2004.
Leadbeater was a research fellow at the Institute of Zoology and then a lecturer at Royal Holloway, University of London where in 2019 she was appointed Professor of Ecology and Evolution.
She has looked at how bumblebees can learn where to find nectar, by watching other bees within an arena choose a particular flower colour that bears nectar, and then choosing the same colour flower when they enter the arena.
Leadbeater's team have studied the honey bee waggle dance, looking at the specific genes in the bee brain that are switched on following the dance, to see how changes in the environment affects the bee foraging and communication to others.
Her work has also looked at the effect of insecticide toxicity on bees and she supported the 2013 EU moritorium and later ban on neconicotinoid insecticides.
Her work has shown that chemical insecticides can affect bee learning and memory, such as remembering which flowers near a colony have nectar or have been emptied.
She has advised caution on new insecticide products such as Sulfoxaflor and her team found that the compound affected bumblebee colony reproduction, with colonies exposed to the compound not producing new queens and subsequent work showed that exposed colonies laid fewer eggs with fewer bumblebee larvae hatching.

Carrot virus Y (CarVY) is a (+)ss-RNA virus that affects crops of the carrot family (Apiaceae), such as carrots, anise, chervil, coriander, cumin, dill and parsnip.
The symptoms of CarVY in carrot foliage may include chlorotic mottle (irregular small yellow patches), marginal leaflet necrosis or reddening, generalised chlorosis of leaves, and plant stunting.
This is a result of the virus using the plant as a host, as the plant's energy is diverted to the virus rather than to the plant's growth.
However, others can express symptoms that are so mild that they are difficult to see even upon close inspection of affected plants.
When carrot plants become infected with CarVY at an early stage in the growth cycle, they portray stubby roots with severe distortion and knobliness (the ‘Michelin carrot’ syndrome).
Furthermore, in plants infected early, the tops of the roots tend to emerge from the soil and become exposed to the sun.
Carrots infected later in the growth cycle do not display such dramatic deformations, but are still considered less-desirable and are sold and a significantly lower price.
By feeding on the sap of the carrot plant, aphids injest the virus of the host, which they can later transmit to other uninfected plants that they will feed on.
Other colonizing species, such as Aphis spiraecola (green citrus aphid) and D. apiifolia (hawthorn parsley aphid), can also be successful virus vectors.
If CarVY is confirmed to be transmissible in future research, it is expected that it will only be at low levels, as Lettuce mosaic virus (LMV), a potyvirus, is only transmissible at very low levels.
If an aphid is able to successfully take up a virion, and the virion remains stable, the virus can be transmitted to a new host.
Their mouthparts consist of a needle-like stylet that is capable of piercing plant cells walls in order to feed on the plant’s sugary sap.
Aphids can facilitate the uptake and delivery of virions into plant cells without causing too much irreversible damage to the host.
The purpose of the second step of transmission is the stable retention of acquired virions in the vector at specific sites.
The replication cycle of CarVY have not been explicitly studied, but it can be assumed that the virus follows the (+)ss-RNA infectious cycle of the potyvirus.
As other (+)RNA plant viruses do, potyviruses utilize the protein synthesis machinery of the host in the production of viral proteins.
They also make use of the endomembrane and cellular secretion systems in the formation of viral replication complexes (VRCs), and use the cell connecting plasmodesmata (PD) to spread their viral genome to other cells in the host.
The RNA is then translated to produce a polyprotein, which is then processed by viral proteases into RNA dependent RNA polymerase and structural proteins.
It has been found in carrot crops in the states of New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia.
Additionally, the virus is able to successfully infect and multiply when carrots are grown for seed production (in which the carrots are grown continuously for approximately two years).
When it comes to the control of CarVY, the key measures include avoiding spread from nearby infected carrot crops, minimizing spread from volunteer carrots, and introducing non-host rotational crops.
Additionally, the spread from volunteer carrot crops can be eliminated by spraying volunteer crops with herbicide, or deep ploughing before re-sowing the land with carrots.
Another control method consists of manipulating the planting date of carrot crops in order to avoid exposure to peak aphid populations.
When plants are at their most vulnerable growth stage, the symptoms of the virus become more severe as the crops develop.
Avoiding peak aphid populations reduces the chance of infection at early growth stages, as plants infected later produce less damaged carrots.
They have two primary veins (sometimes 1 or 3) and the secondary may be oblique, veined like a feather or forming a network.

Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) are a unique class of microporous material developed by research efforts led by Neil McKeown, Peter Budd, et al.
Classified as a porous organic polymer, PIMs generate porosity from their rigid and contorted macromolecular chains that do not efficiently pack in the solid state.
Due to their fused ring structure PIMs cannot rotate freely along the polymer backbone, ensuring the macromolecular components conformation cannot rearrange and ensuring the highly contorted shape is fixed during synthesis.
In order to maintain permanent microporosity the rotation along the polymer chain must be prohibited through the use of fused ring structure or strongly hindered by steric inhibition to avoid conformation changes that would allow the polymer to pack efficiently.
This results in the use of a conformationally locked monomer and polyymeratization reaction that provides a linkage about which rotation is prohibited.
These involve a polymerization reaction based on a double aromatic nucleophilic substitution mechanism to form the dibenzodioxin linkage, a polymerization using Troger's base formation, and amide linkages formation between monomeric units.
Due to the presence of intrinsic microporosity these polymers have high-free volume, high internal surface area, and have a high affinity for gases.
A novel property of PIMs is that they do not possess a network structure and are often freely soluble in organic solvents.
This allows PIMs to be precipitated or cast from solution to give microporous powders or self-standing films that are useful for a variety of applications.
Additionally, due to PIMs affinity for small gases and ability to form self-standing films they are actively being investigated as a membrane material and adsorbent for industrial separation processes such as gas separation and carbon dioxide capture.
PIM membranes are also heavily investigated due to their contribution in the revision of the 2008 upper bounds of performance by Robeson, an important parameter in membrane gas separation stating that the permeability must be sacrificed for selectivity.
PIMs are also used to create mixed matrix membranes with a variety of material such as inorganic materials, metal-organic frameworks, and carbons.

The series was created by Abby McEnany and Tim Mason, written and executive produced by McEnany, Mason, and Lilly Wachowski, and directed by Mason.
On January 13, 2020, Showtime renewed the series for a 10-episode second season, to be filmed in Chicago later in the year.
According to Germaine, Lilly Wachowski was frequently on the set as an advisor and helped direct the sex scene of the third episode among others.
Because the series is inspired by McEnany's life, the challenge for Ognisanti was to capture the authenticity of the story in the look of the show.
For this reason, filming took place in real locations, mostly night interiors, and for lighting they used practical light sources augmented with small LEDs, to avoid making it look artificial.
Because of the improvisational style of acting, Ognisanti used two Arri Alexa Mini cameras, for a higher chance to capture unscripted moments that could not be recreated after the fact.

A United States postage stamp and the names of a number of recreational and cultural facilities, schools, streets and other facilities and institutions throughout the United States have commemorated Benjamin Banneker's documented and mythical accomplishments throughout the years since he lived (1731–1806) (see Mythology of Benjamin Banneker).
Among such memorializations of this free African American almanac author, astronomer, surveyor, naturalist, and farmer was a biographical verse that Rita Dove, a future Poet Laureate of the United States, wrote in 1983 while on the faculty of Arizona State University.
On February 15, 1980, during Black History Month, the United States Postal Service issued in Annapolis, Maryland, a 15 cent commemorative postage stamp that featured a portrait of Banneker.
The device shown in the stamp resembles Andrew Ellicott's transit and equal altitude instrument (see Theodolite), which is now in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
The featured portrait was one that Jerry Pinkney of Croton-on-Hudson, New York, who designed the first nine stamps in the series, had earlier placed on another approved version of the stamp.
A park commemorating Benjamin Banneker is located in a stream valley woodland at the former site of Banneker's farm and residence in Oella, Maryland, between Ellicott City and the City of Baltimore.
The park, which encompasses and contains archaeological sites and extensive nature trails, is the largest original African American historical site in the United States.
The museum contains a visitors center that features a collection of Banneker's works and artifacts, a community gallery, a gift shop and a patio garden.
On November 12, 2009, officials opened a replica of Banneker's log cabin on the park grounds, reportedly two days before the 278th anniversary of Banneker's birth.
Baltimore County's delegation to the Maryland General Assembly secured a $400,000 state bond for the design and construction of the cabin.
The marker replaced the last of three earlier markers that vandals had previously destroyed, the first of which the Maryland State Roads Commission had installed nearby in 1954 on the grounds of the Westchester Grade School (now the Westchester Community Center).

After the District of Columbia Redevelopment Land Agency completed construction of the Overlook in 1969, the Agency transferred the Overlook to the NPS in 1970.
The elliptical wide overlook provides elevated views of the nearby Southwest Waterfront, Washington Channel, East Potomac Park, Potomac River and more distant areas.
The centerpiece of the overlook's modernist plaza is a large conical fountain that projects water more than 30 feet in the air and catches it in a circular basin made from honed green granite.
The rings of the fountain and basin in the center of the site are reiterated in the benches, double rows of London plane trees, and low concrete walls that establish the plaza's edge.
In 1970, the District of Columbia City Council passed a resolution that petitioned the NPS to rename the Overlook as Banneker Park, arguing that the Council had already renamed the adjacent highway circle as Banneker Circle, S.W.
However, a 2016 NPS publication later noted that the NPS had renamed the Overlook to commemorate Banneker even though the area has no specific connection to Banneker himself.
In 1998, the 105th United States Congress enacted legislation that authorized the Washington Interdependence Council of the District of Columbia to establish at the Council's expense a memorial on federal land in the District that would commemorate Banneker's accomplishments.
Construction of the memorial was expected to begin after the United States Commission of Fine Arts and the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) approved the memorial's design and location in accordance with the legislation that authorized the establishment of the memorial and with the United States Code (40 U.S.C.
After considering the proposal, the National Capital Memorial Commission rejected the placement of the statue in the park and decided to consult with the District of Columbia government about placing a Banneker memorial at the midpoint of the Promenade.
This did not preclude the location of the memorial on lands such as the road right-of-way in the Promenade that are under the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia's government.
During the 2000s, various organizations proposed to develop at the site of Benjamin Banneker Park a number of large facilities including a baseball stadium (later constructed elsewhere in D.C. as Nationals Park), the National Museum of African American History and Culture, a National Children's Museum and a National Museum of the American Latino.
In 2004, the D.C. Preservation League listed the Park as one of the most endangered places in the District because of such proposals to redevelop the park's area.
In 2012, the United States Army Corps of Engineers determined that Benjamin Banneker Park was not eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.
The DC SHPO stated that additional research and coordination with the NPS would be needed before it could make a final determination of eligibility.
In 2014, the DC SHPO concurred with the superintendent of the National Mall and Memorial Parks that the park was eligible for inclusion in the National Register as an integral component of the 10th Street Promenade/Banneker Overlook composition, but not as an independent entity.
The Plan recommended the redesign of Benjamin Banneker Park and adjacent areas to accommodate one or more new memorials, museums and/or landscaping.
The report described the features, significance and history of the park and its surrounding area, as well the planning processes that had influenced the park's construction and development.
In April 2017, the NCPC approved plans for a staircase and ramp that would connect the park with Washington's Southwest Waterfront and that would add lighting and trees to the area.
The NCPC and the NPS intended the project to be an interim improvement that could be in place for ten years while the area awaits redevelopment.
An park in Arlington County, Virginia, memorializes Banneker and the survey of the boundaries of the District of Columbia, in which he participated.
The park features access to paved trails, picnic tables with charcoal grills, a playground, a playing field, a stream and a dog park.
The Banneker Community Center (Banneker Recreation Center) in Catonsville, Maryland, is located near the intersection of the Baltimore National Pike (U.S. Route 40) and the Baltimore Beltway (Interstate 695), about northeast of the former site of Banneker's home and farm.
The center, which is a unit of the District of Columbia Department of Parks and Recreation, contains playing fields, basketball and tennis courts, a swimming pool (Banneker pool), a computer lab and other indoor and outdoor facilities.
Constructed in 1934 and named for Benjamin Banneker, the center's building (formerly named the Banneker Recreation Center) was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 because of its role as a focal point in the development of the black community in Washington, D.C.
The Benjamin Banneker Community Center in Bloomington, Indiana, contains a gymnasium, restrooms, a kitchen, a library and a family resource center.
In 1994, the Bloomington City Council changed the community center's name to commemorate the building's history as a segregated school and to re-commemorate Benjamin Banneker.
It is housed within and adjacent to the former Mount Moriah African Methodist Episcopal Church, which the National Park Service placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
The names of a number of university buildings, high schools, middle schools, elementary schools, professorships and scholarships throughout the United States have commemorated Benjamin Banneker.

Wise Academies Trust formerly the Bexhill and Town End Academies Limited is a multi-academy trust (MAT) that operates twelve schools with academy status across northern England: all are primary schools.
Headteachers should be leaders of learning, and issues of finance, estate management, governance, HR and IT should be handled by a shared back- office team of professionals.
Children must start the primary school ready to learn; this means enabling them with quality pre-school education, giving each child the experiences provided by the most advantaged parents.
The trust was founded in 2011 with just two school and expanded to take on Hastings Hill and over extended itself to take on Welbeck which has financial difficulties.
They established a new professional accounting system whereby all the schools used one central finance office- and the only delegated power was petty cash, and that had a top limit of £50.
More schools joined WISE, none were refused because of demographics or location, but only when the member schools didn't have the financial capability to absorb them.

Mortons House Hotel in Corfe Castle in Dorset, is a building of historical significance and is on the National Heritage List for England.
It was built in 1590 and was the home of several notable families over the next four centuries; it is now an hotel.
They had acquired this estate by marriage in about 1500 when Thomas Dacombe had married Elizabeth Clavell who was the daughter and heir of Richard Clavell of Corfe Castle.
Shortly after this it was inherited by his son Edward Dacombe (1579-1635) who was a Member of Parliament and Mayor of Corfe Castle.
When Edward died in 1683 the house was left to his son Henry Dacombe who sold it to John Morton of Henbury.
Reverend John Colson (1701-1769) was the son of Robert Colson, mayor of Dorchester who had married John Morton’s sister Mary in 1700.
In 1887 he married Ruth St. Maur (1867-1953) and the couple had five children two of whom became the 8th and 9th Dukes of Portland.
In 1911 she wrote a letter from Morton’s House which is still noteworthy in which she railed against changes to fair wage legislation.
She had a wide variety of close friends from George Bernard Shaw and Keir Hardie, to the Duke of Argyll and Edward VII’s mistress, Alice Keppel.
She was also friends with the famous painter Philip de Lászlóand his wife Lucy and in the 1920s this couple visited them at Mortons House.
De Loszlo owned one of the first motion cameras and a short home movie of their visit to the house can be seen at this reference.

She was a new vessel of 305 tons, pierced for 22 guns but carrying only four, and had a crew of 43 men.
Since 25 April 1813 a French force, estimated at 13,000 men, had been investing Castro Urdiales on the north coast of Spain.
A Spanish garrison of 1200 men, under the command of Don P.P.Alvarez, were holding the town, the French having been forced out in 1812.
On the 11th, the Spaniards resisted the French in house-to-house fighting and were able to destroy the cannons in the castle.
Parliament voted a special grant to the officers and crews that served under Admiral Lord Viscount Keith on the north coast of Spain and the coast of France in the years 1812, 1813, and 1814.
There is no naval vessel of the burthens the registers gave that were launched at Chatham in 1812 or so and sold in 1819 or so.
It also showed her as having been lengthened and almost rebuilt in 1819, something that explains the increase in her burthen between her naval service and her service as a whaler.
She was surveyed, and condemned as unseaworthy (leaky and unmanageable), on 5 August 1832 and was declared a constructive total loss.

The Returned Poets (Simplified Chinese: 归来的诗人 or 复出的诗人; Traditional Chinese: 歸來的詩人 or 復出的詩人; pinyin: guīlái dè shīrén or fùchū dè shīrén) are a group of Chinese poets who were marginalized or expelled from literary circle in the 1950s and the early 1960s due to political reasons and returned after the Cultural Revolution.
However, the term only refers to those who were expelled before the Cultural Revolution, according to the mainstream opinions from Chinese literary scholars.
The Returned Poets and their works signified a strong desire, not only to repair the damage caused by the politicization of poetry, but also revive and reconstruct the contemporary Chinese poetic paradigm.
The Gang of Four was overthrown in 1976 and The Cultural Revolution ended after the shift of power in the Communist Party of China (CPC).
As a result, poets, alone with other types of rightist and the Educated Youth (), returned and regain their right to write and publish their poems.
The Returned Poets were so named because most of the their poems published after the Cultural Revolution were coincidentally relevant to the concept of return returned, either literally or metaphorically.
Poets in this subgroup are: Hu Feng (胡风), Liu Banjiu (), Niu Han (), Zeng Zhuo (曾卓), Ji Fang (冀汸), Peng Yanjiao (彭燕郊), Lu Li (鲁藜), Luo Luo (罗洛), etc.
They are: Ai Qing (艾青), Gong Liu (), Liu Shahe (), Liang Nan (梁南), Lin Xi (林希), Zhao Kai (赵恺), , Bai Hua (白桦), , Zhou Liangpei (周良沛), Hu Zhao (胡昭), etc.
They are: Mu Dan (穆旦), Du Yunxie (杜运夔), Yuan kejia (袁可嘉), Zheng Min (郑敏), Xin Di (辛迪), Chen Jingrong (陈敬容), Tang Qi (唐祈), Tang Shi (唐湜), Hang Yuehe (杭约赫), etc.
In addition, Cai Qijiao (蔡其矫), who were politically criticized during the 1950s and the 1960s, is also considered as a returned poet.
The first poetic characteristic of the Returned Poets is that their poems were autobiographical, especially at the beginning of this new era, roughly from 1978 to the early 1980s.
This mixing of joy, sentimentality, and proud became the emotional core of their poems.The second characteristic is that their poems were both individual and historical reflection.
On one hand, they reflected their individual experience and the historical trauma; on the other hand, they were also critical on a broader level and try to find the historical and social reason for a national tragedy.
It can be: joyful or sad, love or hate, sticking to the belief or feeling lost to the future, the illusion of poetic hero or the sentimentality of suffering and losing.
It is from this demand of new emotional expression that the Returned Poets went into different directions and developed their poetic skills in the new era.
Some of them focused on real political issue; some had a grandiose theme concerning the historical experience of Chinese or even human beings; and some were just casual writing.
Ai Qing's poetic characteristics shows the aestheticization of political and ideological struggle, which was generally viewed as the struggle between light and dark during the 1980s.
These poems wrote after his returned were limited by his old thoughts and skills, thus didn't provide much new nutrition to contemporary Chinese poetry in the new era.
He was divided as a rightist and was forced to Laogai (reform through labor) for more than 20 years before his return.
He didn't just focus on a right-or-wrong judgement on history, but turned to a more transcendental subject: the salvation of life through love.
In some of his poems, he consciously expressed his critical attitude toward the commodification and inequality in the era of economic reform, and it accidentally echoed with the New Left (新左派) thought in China (although Chang Yao himself didn't know this school of thought at that time), which appeared in the late 1990s and criticize the global capitalism.
The Returned Poets, along with the younger generation of poets who started writing later than them, such as the so-called Misty Poets, played the major roles for Chinese poetry in the 1980s.

In 1942, there were two destinations: 18,746 Jews were deported in eighteen transports to Auschwitz concentration camp and another 39,000–40,000 were deported in thirty-eight transports to Majdanek and Sobibór extermination camps and various ghettos in the Lublin district of the General Governorate.
In 1944 and 1945, 13,500 Jews were deported to Auschwitz (8,000 deportees), with smaller numbers sent to the Sachsenhausen, Ravensbrück, Bergen-Belsen, and Theresienstadt concentration camps.
In the political crisis that followed the September 1938 Munich Agreement, the conservative, ethnonationalist Slovak People’s Party unilaterally declared a state of autonomy for Slovakia within Czechoslovakia.
Although they were allowed to return within a few months, these deportations were a rehearsal for those to follow in 1942.
Slovakia initially agreed with the German government to deport 20,000 Jews of working age to German-occupied Poland, paying Nazi Germany 500 Reichsmarks each (supposedly to cover the cost of resettlement).
However, this was only the first step in the deportation of all Jews because deporting workers while leaving their families behind would worsen the economic situation of the remaining Jews.
In the meantime, Nazi Germany had been working towards the Final Solution—the murder of all the Jews that it could reach.
The original deportation plan, approved in February 1942 by the German and Slovak governments, entailed the deportation of 7,000 single women aged 16–35 to Auschwitz and 13,000 single men aged 16–45 to Majdanek as forced laborers.
Initially, many Jews believed that it was better to report for deportation than risk reprisals against their families for failing to do so.
The Hlinka Guard struggled to meet its targets; as a result, only 3,800 women and 4,500 men were deported during the initial phase of deportations.
Department 14, a subsidiary of Slovakia's Central Economic Office, organized the transports, while the Slovak Transport Ministry provided the cattle cars.
Transports were timed to reach the Slovak border at Čadca at 04:28; they left Patrónka, Poprad, and Nováky in the evening, and Žilina at 03:20.
Before its departure, Wisliceny spoke to the deportees on the platform, saying that they would be allowed to return home after they finished the work that Germany had planned for them.
According to survivors, songs in Hebrew and Slovak were sung as the first two transports of women to Auschwitz left the platforms.
Most of the Slovak Jewish women deported to Auschwitz in 1942 who survived the war were from the first two transports in March, because they were younger and stronger.
Those from eastern Slovakia were especially likely to be young, because most Jews from that area were Haredim and tended to marry young: more than half were aged 21 or younger.
The women deported from Bratislava were older on average because they married later in life and some did not marry at all; only 40 percent were 21 or younger.
Ostensibly, the change was to avoid separating families, but it also solved the problem of caring for the children and elderly family members of able-bodied deportees.
Instead of able-bodied male Slovak Jews being deported to Majdanek, the SS needed to prepare space for Slovak Jewish families in the region's overcrowded ghettos.
The trains went through two railway distribution points, in Nałęczów and Lublin, where they were met by a ranking SS officer.
In Lublin, there was usually a selection and able-bodied men were selected for labor at Majdanek, while the remainder were sent to ghettos along the rail lines.
The final transports to the Lublin district occurred during the first half of June 1942; ten transports stopped briefly at Majdanek, where able-bodied men (generally those aged 15–50) were selected for labor; the trains continued to Sobibór, where the remaining victims were murdered.
The family transports were marked by scenes that horrified many non-Jewish Slovaks, such as Hlinka Guardsmen chasing and assaulting Jews in the streets and stealing the last of their possessions.
Although some guards and local officials accepted bribes to keep Jews off the transports, the victim would typically be deported on the next train.
Most groups stayed only briefly in the Lublin ghettos before they were deported again to the death camps, while a few remained in the ghettos for months or years.
Several thousand of the deportees ended up in the forced-labor camps in the Lublin area (such as Poniatowa, Końskowola, and Krychów).
Unusually, the deportees in the Lublin area were quickly able to establish contact with the Jews remaining in Slovakia, which led to extensive aid efforts.
The first arrived on 4 July, which led to the initial selection on the ramp at Auschwitz II-Birkenau, which became a regular event.
By 1 August, most of the Jews not exempt from deportation had already been deported or had fled to Hungary, leading to a six-week halt in the transports.
For the first three months after the arrival of the first transport in March, Slovak Jewish women were the only female Jewish prisoners in Auschwitz.
Conditions were much worse; employed mostly on outdoor labor details, most of the women died within the first four months at Birkenau.
Along with backbreaking physical labor and starvation, many died in epidemics of typhus or malaria and the mass executions ordered by the SS to contain the epidemics.
This left only 500 or 600 Slovak Jews still alive at Auschwitz and its subcamps—about half of whom had obtained privileged positions in administration which allowed them to obtain the necessities for survival.
The deportations disproportionately affected poor, rural, and Orthodox Jews; although the Šariš-Zemplín region in eastern Slovakia lost 85 to 90 percent of its Jewish population, Žilina reported that almost half of its Jews remained after the deportation.
The deportees were held briefly in camps in Slovakia before deportation; 26,384 from Žilina, 7,500 from Patrónka, 7,000 from Poprad, 4,160 (or 4,463) from Sereď, and 4,000 to 5,000 from Nováky.
Eighteen trains with 18,746 victims went to Auschwitz, and another thirty-eight transports (with 39,000 to 40,000 deportees) went to ghettos and concentration and extermination camps in the Lublin district.
Czech historian Daniel Putík estimates that only 1.5 percent (around 280 people) of those deported to Auschwitz in 1942 survived, while the death rate of those deported to the Lublin region approached 100 percent.
Attempts by Germany and Slovak People's Party radicals to resume the transports in 1943 were unsuccessful and were followed by a two-year hiatus.
Einsatzgruppe H, one of the SS death squads, was formed to deport or murder the estimated 25,000 Jews remaining in Slovakia.
Most of the Jews who were exempted from the 1942 deportations lived in western Slovakia, but following the invasion many fled to the mountains.
About 13,500 Jews were deported in the second round including between 6,734 and 7,936 to Auschwitz and another 5,000 to Ravensbrück, Sachsenhausen, Bergen-Belsen, and Theresienstadt.
From Slovakia, Ravensbrück received transports totaling 1,600 women and children (mostly Jews) and 478 male prisoners, including Jews, Romani people, and political opponents.
About 1,550 to 1,750 men (mostly Jews) were deported to Sachsenhausen, while about 200–300 people were deported from Sereď to Bergen-Belsen, especially Jews in mixed marriages and some intact families of Jews.
Many of those deported to the concentration camps in Germany were sent onwards to subcamps of the main camps, where they worked mostly in war industries.
On four transports from Sereď, selections were carried out at the camp with different cars being directed to Sachsenhausen, Bergen-Belsen, Ravensbrück, and/or Theresienstadt.
Many details of the transports are unknown, because much of the documentation was destroyed by the perpetrators, requiring historians to rely on survivor testimonies.
The mortality rate was highest on the transports to Auschwitz in September and October, because there was a selection and most of the deportees were immediately murdered in the gas chambers.
The high death rate at concentration camps such as Sachsenhausen, Bergen-Belsen and Ravensbrück was due to the exploitation of forced labor for total war and inmates were murdered based on their inability to work, rather than their race or religion.
Between several hundred and 2,000 Jews were killed in Slovakia, and about 10,850 survived to be liberated by the Red Army in March and April 1945.
The Rivière Éternité is a small stream in Quebec (Canada) which flows into Eternity Bay at Rivière-Éternité, in the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean.
The upper part of this river crosses the zec du Lac-au-Sable, a controlled exploitation zone; the lower part crosses the Saguenay Fjord National Park, a protected natural area which is very popular with tourists.
The surface of the Eternity River is usually frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March.
The northeast part of the lake has the shape of a giraffe neck and head looking towards the southeast; the South-West part has the shape of a cross whose top is oriented towards the South-East.
From the mouth of the Éternité river, the current crosses the Baie Éternité on north, then descends the Saguenay River on to the east where flows into the St. Lawrence River at Tadoussac.
According to the Sépaq, the Eternity river is an important river for the reproduction of the brook trout anadrome, commonly called sea trout.

The Fairchild 9440 MICROFLAME, also known as the F9440 and μFLAME, was a 16-bit microprocessor introduced by Fairchild Semiconductor in 1977.
By this time the 16-bit designs were being surpassed by 32-bit designs and hybrids like the Motorola 68000, and Fairchild began turning their attention to their Fairchild Clipper design.
The underlying core of the 9445 was also used to implement the 9450, which used new microcode to implement the MIL-STD-1750A.
The National Semiconductor IMP-16 and PACE were similar chip-based implementations inspired by the Nova, but did not draw the ire of DG.
The Data General NOVA was introduced in 1969, implemented using individual integrated circuits (ICs) mounted on a 15x15-inch printed circuit board.
In order to lower design complexity, and thus board size and cost, the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) was only 4-bits wide, implemented using a single 74181 IC.
This meant it required four machine cycles to complete a 16-bit instruction, but it also allowed the system to be much less expensive than competing minicomputers from Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) or Hewlett-Packard.
In 1970, DG introduced the SuperNOVA, which featured a full 16-bit wide ALU using four 74181's in bit-slice fashion, and thus ran about four times as fast as the original NOVA.
This was further boosted by other changes, including faster core memory and optional semiconductor memory, making the SuperNOVA the fastest mini for some time.
As development of both designs continued, the two were modified so the faster version could be dropped into existing machines originally running the lower-speed hardware.
Initially only 4-bit and then 8-bit CPUs could easily be manufactured on a single chip, but by the mid-1970s, 16-bit designs were appearing.
Several other 16-bit designs appeared during this period, including the Texas Instruments TMS 9900, which implemented their TI-990 minicomputer, and the Intersil 6100, a single-chip version of the PDP-8.
DG needed to respond to these systems, and began development of the microNOVA mN601, a single-chip design that implemented the NOVA 3 instruction set, and added hardware single-precision multiply and divide, formerly an optional add-on for NOVA systems.
It was announced in early 1976, and sold to anyone who wanted one - they could be purchased as a single chip, a CPU card with support chips, or a complete packaged NOVA machine.
It ran at fairly low speeds, normally using a 240 ns clock (~4.2 MHz), completing instructions in 2.4 to 10 ms.
Throughout the evolution of the Nova line, the systems had been built primarily using discrete ICs from Fairchild Semiconductor, a leader in IC design during the 1960s.
For reasons that are not recorded in the historical record, Fairchild decided to produce their own single-chip implementation of the NOVA design, without Data General's approval.
The courts had already decided that the instruction set of a CPU was not subject to copyright, and this had been tested several times by companies that implemented IBM mainframe compatible systems using different internal implementations.
To Fairchild's surprise, DG sued Fairchild in 1977, not for design infringement, but claiming that Fairchild was enticing DG's customers to break their licensing agreements.
The 9440 was much more expensive than the mN601; the former sold for $395 in lots of 100, including the software package, while the later was $95 for the same quantity.
The combinaion of the higher prices and lawsuit made the 9440 a slow seller, and it was not picked up for second-source by any of Fairchild's normal partners.
Using a new 2-micron process, the 9445 implemented the NOVA 3 instruction set in microcode, added built-in hardware multiply and divide, and added addressing for up to 128 kWords.
In contrast to the 9440, which ran about the same speed as an original NOVA, the 9554 was quite fast; Fairchild claimed it would run ten times faster than an actual NOVA 3.
In 1986, with the minicomputer market collapsing as newer IBM PC designs began to take over their market, DG decided to settle.
Schlumberger decided to exit the business, and in 1987 they sold Fairchild to National Semiconductor, who immediately ended production of the line.
In contrast to the NMOS mN601, Fairchild's 9440 design was fabbed using Fairchild's proprietary 3-micron bipolar transistor Isoplanar Integrated Injection Logic process, IL.
This was a transistor-transistor logic (TTL) system, so the resulting chip required only a single +5V power supply instead of the four-level supply of the mN601.
The process also allowed it to run faster, up to 12 MHz; whereas the mN601 ran about half the speed of the original Nova, the 9440 ran about the speed of a Nova 1200.
They also integrated the clock generator and oscillator, removing the need for additional external clock support, although it could read an external clock if one was provided.
This was possible because the instruction set was in microcode, allowing the CPU to (in theory) be of any design at all.
The μFLAME differed from the mN601 slightly in programming model, as its instruction set was based on the NOVA 2, not NOVA 3, and thus lacked the hardware stack that had been introduced on the 3.
It also lacked the hardware multiply and divide of the mN601, although this could be added with the optional 9443 Special Function Unit.
Unrelated to the 9440 specifically, Fairchild also sold suitable dynamic RAM chips (DRAM), the 4 kB 93481 and 16 kB 93483.
While the 9440 included direct memory access (DMA) signals to indicate the start and end of a DMA process, when it received them it simply paused and released the system bus.
In contrast, the NOVA performed an optional interrupt that allowed the processor itself to move data, jumping through an address in memory location 0001.
One significant change was the move from 3-micron to 2-micron feature sizes, which allowed more gates to be constructed on the chip without effecting yield, and allowing the operating speeds to be increased to 24 MHz, double that of the 9440.
The 9445 fully implemented the NOVA3 instruction set, adding the SP (stack pointer) and FP (frame pointer) registers to support the hardware stack.
It added the hardware-based 16-bit multiply and divide that had been left out of the 9440, eliminating the need for the 9443.
On top, it added a suite of new opcodes to help with floating point math, which could operate on 8-, 16- or 32-bit data.

The Mayor of Treviso is an elected politician who, along with the Treviso's City Council, is accountable for the strategic government of Treviso in Veneto, Italy.
The current Mayor is Mario Conte, a member of the right-wing populist party Lega Nord, who took office on 13 June 2018.
The Mayor is elected by the population of Treviso, who also elects the members of the City Council, controlling the Mayor's policy guidelines and is able to enforce his resignation by a motion of no confidence.
Since 1994 the Mayor is elected directly by Treviso's electorate: in all mayoral elections in Italy in cities with a population higher than 15,000 the voters express a direct choice for the mayor or an indirect choice voting for the party of the candidate's coalition.
If no candidate receives at least 50% of votes, the top two candidates go to a second round after two weeks.
The election of the City Council is based on a direct choice for the candidate with a preference vote: the candidate with the majority of the preferences is elected.

He was born in Perticara, Italy on 12 October 1845, but began his musical studies with his uncle Pio Galli in Rimini until 1862 when he enrolled in the Milan Conservatory to be a pupil of Alberto Mazzucato.
He then moved to Amelia, Umbria where he became bandmaster in the city chapel and director of the town band between 1871 and 1873, as well as director of the Finale Emilia school from 1871 to 1873.
In 1869, he began his career as a journalist as well, being art director of Stabilimento Musicale Sonzogno and editor of Edoardo Sonzogno's Euterpe though Sonzongno never credited him.
In 1873 he moved to Milan once again to be Chairman of Counterpoint and Musical Aesthetics at the Conservatory of which he studied in, as well as music critic of the newspapers Il Secolo and editors of Il Teatro Illustrata and La Musica Popolare, all of which owned by Sonzogno.
After gaining substantial fame from his composing and journalism, in 1894 he purchased a holiday home in Rimini but in 1906 or 1907 quit journalism, and in 1914 retired completely and moved to Rimini, where he died on December 8, 1919.

Chad Bryant Racing is an American professional stock car racing team that competes in the ARCA Menards Series and the ARCA Menards Series West.
The team was formed on January 9, 2018 by ARCA crew chief Chad Bryant, who purchased the assets of the team he had been working for in the series, Cunningham Motorsports, which was being sold by its retiring owner Briggs Cunningham, who was age 85 at the time.
His co-owner, 68-year old Kerry Scherer, also decided to step away from team ownership and did not continue with the team after it was sold to Bryant.
The team was nearly the same as it was in 2017 before the change in ownership, as Bryant retained all personnel who remained with the team.
However, since Cunningham's 2017 drivers Shane Lee and Dalton Sargeant both moved up to the NASCAR Xfinity and Truck Series, respectively, in 2018, Bryant needed new drivers for the team's No.
77, and rookie Joe Graf Jr. joined CBR for what was initially set to be a part-time schedule starting at the second race of the season at Nashville.
22 at Daytona and they let Fast Track Racing use their owner points to field an additional entry at that race for Ed Pompa.
Due to a lack of sponsorship, the team withdrew from Talladega and only ran part-time for the remainder of the season.
77 full-time for their predecessor Cunningham team, ran at IRP as a replacement for Chase Briscoe, who was scheduled to be in the No.
22 for that race, but could not compete after the race was rescheduled a month later than it was supposed to be run due to rain, and the new race date conflicted with his Xfinity schedule.
Finchum did not end up running any races with the team, and was in the car then to get approval to run at the track in his full-time Xfinity Series ride with MBM Motorsports.
Graf would go on to finish eighth in points in his first full-season in ARCA (minus one race), picking up one win at Berlin Raceway on August 25, 2018.
That car would have a rotation of drivers during the season, with Connor Hall starting the season at Daytona with sponsorship from Marlow Yachts.
In the remaining races where Heim was not eligible to run, Ty Majeski, a Ford development driver who had previously competed for Roush Fenway Racing's NASCAR Xfinity Series team, which closed down after 2018, drove the team's No.
He returned to ARCA for the first time in two years, and doing so this time in an effort to rebuild his career after losing his ride.
In dominant fashion, Majeski finished in the top-5 in every single one of his starts, which included three wins, which came at Charlotte, Pocono, and Chicago.
In addition, Chad Bryant Racing made their debut in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West (which was soon to be renamed the ARCA Menards Series West), fielding two cars in the series' season-finale at Phoenix in preparation for when ARCA would visit the track for the first time in 2020.

George Thomas Rockrise, FAIA, ASLA, AICP (November 25, 1916 – July 7, 2000) was an American architect, landscape architect, and urban planner of Japanese descent based in San Francisco, California.
During his career he practiced both nationally and internationally, had a distinguished career in public service, and received numerous honors and awards.
Rockrise was born in New York City to Iwahiko Tsumanuma (also known as Thomas S. Rockrise, one of the first American-educated Japanese architects in the United States) and Agnes Margaret (Asbury) Rockrise, of Brooklyn, New York.
He grew up in New York City and later at Saranac Lake, New York, where his father was under treatment for tuberculosis.
Of note was a Flight Training Scholarship from the U.S. Army Air Corps his senior year, leading him to receive his pilot's license upon graduation.
After working a few years in architecture and construction, Rockrise was awarded concurrently a Graduate Fellowship at Columbia University and an Advanced Flight Scholarship from the U.S. Army Air Corps for advanced flight training.
Upon graduating from Columbia University, Rockrise accepted a job in the Canal Zone of Panama, where he was residing when the U.S. entered World War II, December 7, 1941.
Rockrise remained in Panama for the duration of the war, working as an architect for the Canal Zone, U.S. Navy, the U.S.
Rockrise was never able to fulfill his desire to fly for the U.S. Navy, as he was repeatedly denied a commission because of his Japanese ancestry.
Returning to New York City after the war, Rockrise went to work for Edward D. Stone, FAIA (’58), who at this time was one of the leading American architects exploring modernism.
Rockrise worked on various projects including the El Panama Hotel (Panama City, Panama), coordinating the firm’s work with Thomas D. Church, FASLA, in San Francisco, then the country’s leading modern landscape architect.
Perhaps this was because they had to be done in the metric system, and perhaps because the notes had to be in Spanish, and I spoke Spanish.” Subsequently, Rockrise worked for the architectural, urban planning, and engineering firm, Skidmore Owings & Merrill (SOM), where he was assigned by SOM architect and design partner Gordon Bunshaft, FAIA, to be a staff designer for the United Nations Headquarters Building.
As one of the ‘Backroom Boys,’ Rockrise worked under Sven Markelius and Le Corbusier, two of the group of world-renowned architects who designed the United Nations complex.
Among other projects, Rockrise worked with then associate, Lawrence Halprin, FASLA (’69), on the award winning design for the landscaping of the Donnell residence in Sonoma County, California.
In these early years, 1949–1953, Rockrise also taught at the School of Architecture at the University of California at Berkeley, and was the faculty advisor for the student chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).
Among the first draftsmen he hired were John Matthew Myers and Robert C. Mountjoy in 1955, who became associates in 1958.
In 1954, he was invited to Venezuela for several months to assist renowned Venezuelan architect Tomás José Sanabria in the establishment of that country's first school of architecture at the Universidad Nacional.
In 1957, Rockrise was commissioned to design the American Consulate in Fukuoka, Japan, in collaboration with the noted architects Hervey Parke Clark, FAIA, and John Beuttler.
The job took him to Japan for the first time in the later part of that year and, for the first time, he was able to visit the birthplace of his father (Yamagata City) and meet many of his Japanese relatives, among them, his last living aunt.
In 1968, Rockrise formed George T. Rockrise and Associates, with Robert A. Odermatt, FAIA (‘86), Robert C. Mountjoy and James J. Amis, FAIA (‘97), all of whom were associates, becoming principals.
The firm later became Rockrise, Odermatt, Mountjoy and Amis (ROMA), and is known today as ROMA Design Group, though none of the original named partners are any longer associated with the firm.
Under his leadership, members of collateral design professions such as landscape architecture, structural and mechanical/electrical engineering were engaged as team members early on in the design process.
He established a solo practice based in Glen Ellen, CA, completing the Wellington Residence & Winery (Glen Ellen, CA), the Paradise Ridge Winery (Santa Rosa, CA), the Sternik Residence (St. Helena, CA), and the Rockrise/Brown residence (Camano Island, WA).
In 1948 Rockrise married Margaret (Maggie) Lund Paulson, originally from Oregon and a Stanford graduate, who was the fashion editor of a San Francisco newspaper.
Over the course of Rockrise's career at ROMA, the firm provided architectural, urban design and development consulting for more than 40 west coast cities and various federal, state and local agencies.
Rockrise was elected a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects (1963) and of the Institute of Design Professionals of Great Britain.
Service with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) included Northern California Chapter Vice-President (1960) and President (1961), Director of the California Council (1961), National Vice President (1969-1972), Chair of the Task Force on Social Responsibility, Trustee for the Urban Design and Development Corporation, and several design juries.
As a licensed landscape architect, Rockrise was also a member of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) and received the Distinguished Service Citation for Contributions to the Environment in 1967.
He was also licensed as a professional planner, and as a charter member of the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) served as chair of the Urban Design Committee.
Rockrise was known for his distinguished public service and as a teacher and lecturer in Architecture, Urban Design and related social issues affecting the design professions.
While serving as National Vice President for the AIA (1969–1972), Rockrise chaired a task force that secured a $1 million Ford Foundation grant for scholarships for African American students to attend architectural schools and innovated the concept of ‘urban design workshops,’ that would later come to be called Community Design Centers (CDC), where students gained practical professional experience.
An outgrowth of this work was his appointment as chair of the Technical Assistance Team of the Southwest Council of La Raza to work with the Ford Foundation in securing grants for housing assistance for Chicano barrios (communities) in the southwest.
In 1966, Rockrise was appointed by Robert Weaver, Secretary of the newly formed Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to be the first Special Advisor for Design during President Johnson's Great Society initiative.
Rockrise also served on the Reynolds Community Architecture Jury (1969), a distinguished group that visited, evaluated and recognized the best new towns worldwide, including Brasilia (Brazil) and Chandigarh (India).
Other public service included terms on the San Francisco Art Commission (1953–1956, 1986–1987), the San Francisco Planning Commission (1961–1962), and the Executive Committee, Board of Directors, and Advisory Council of SPUR (San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association).

The basic structural unit of chromatin is the nucleosome: this consists of the core octamer of histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) as well as a linker histone and about 180 base pairs of DNA.
In histone acetylation and deacetylation, histone proteins are acetylated and deacetylated on lysine residues in the N-terminal tail as part of gene regulation.
The regulation of transcription factors, effector proteins, molecular chaperones, and cytoskeletal proteins by acetylation and deacetylation is a significant post-translational regulatory mechanism These regulatory mechanisms are analogous to phosphorylation and dephosphorylation by the action of kinases and phosphatases.
Not only can the acetylation state of a protein modify its activity, but this post-translational modification may also crosstalk with phosphorylation, methylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation, and others for dynamic control of cellular signaling.
The post-translational modification of histone tails by either histone modifying complexes or chromatin remodeling complexes are interpreted by the cell and lead to complex, combinatorial transcriptional output.
It is thought that a histone code dictates the expression of genes by a complex interaction between the histones in a particular region.
Ulyana Akhsarbekovna Nesheva (Ukrainian: Уляна Нєшева; Russian: Ульяна Нешева, ; born 26 November 1983) is a Ukrainian contemporary painter and tattoo artist, born in Kerch, Crimea, Ukrainian SSR.
Following her education at the Academy of Design and Arts KSADA in Kharkov, Nesheva moved to Kiev, where she experienced a rampant growth as a painter.
Her paintings are displayed to this day in private galleries of Ukraine, in the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami as well as in private collections.
In 2014, despite of being one of the most prominent Ukrainian painters of her time, Nesheva started a career of a tattoo artist.
Nesheva is consistently cited as one of the best and sought-after minimalist tattoo artist of Ukraine, known for her long branches tattoos and floral style.
Nesheva's clientele includes some of the most famous Ukrainian artists, such as Nadya Dorofeeva, Evgeny Filatov, Nata Zhizhchenko and Irina Gorovaya.
Her mother, Tatiana Kumaritova, who is antiquarian, was born in Novosibirsk, Russia, and her father, Akhsarbek Kumaritov, who is a sailor on tanker, was born in the village of Kohat, South Ossetia.
Her teachers, including artist Victor Zaporozhec, noticed her artistic abilities, and her mother encouraged her daughter's talent and any creative endeavors.
In May 1998, at the age of fifteen, Nesheva graduated as an external student from Zhelyabov High school in Kerch, Crimea.
At the same time, she became interested in film photography and graphic arts, she continued mastering her skills as an artist by extensively producing many illustrations, lithographs and conceptual photography series.
Ulyana Nesheva began her artist career in the early 20s, exploring a variety of painting techniques and creating graphic arts primarily for local publications.
Her breakthrough as an artist, Nesheva did in June, 2010, when she took the first place in Kyiv Art Week and the same year displayed her work at Berlin Art Week.
However, Nesheva's interest in tattoo art raised to the new level, when her friend, Andrei Bezpamyatny, who is a realism tattoo artist, showed her how to use the machine.
It took her two days to learn and she mastered her skills by making her first tattoo on herself, of two-headed girl in a dress, which represents a close connection with her sister.
Being renowned as one of the pioneers in floral and minimalist style, Nesheva is considered to be one of the best tattoo artists of Ukraine.
In November, 2019, she became a member of the National Tattoo Association of Ukraine and a judge in the first online tattoo festival in Ukraine.
In 2015, Nesheva collaborated with Ukrainian label TTSWTRS, as the baseline for each new collection of brand was works of acclaimed tattoo artists from all over the world.
She created sensual minimalist drawings to combine with the clothes organically, as brand preserves clothing as a second skin and tattoos as the only true way to decorate it, which demonstrates self-expression and freedom in the collections.
In 2017, Nike had released a white collection which consisted of brand's main hits - from the dream of all Nike Air Max 90 mods to those designed specifically for Nike Cortez athletes, where Nesheva was a model to represent Air Force 1.
On July 14, 2019, Nesheva collaborated with the Ukrainian jewelry brand Côte & Jeunot and launched the capsule collection of accent pendants and earings.
In June 2010, Nesheva participated in Kyiv Art Week, an international art week of contemporary art fair, where she was noticed by various critics and curators.
In particular Leonora Yanko, a Ukrainian gallerist, was impressed by her work and invited Nesheva to have her first solo exhibition, that opened on May, 2011 at Hudgraf Art Gallery, Kiev, Ukraine.
In June 2011, she made a studio space in her Kiev apartment, where she commenced a series of paintings for her upcoming personal exhibition.
Traditionally, the interpretation of Nesheva's works at the visual level comes from the subdued emotional tone of what they represent compared to what is actually depicted.
But at this show, unlike with most Contemporary art, you won’t find anything that speaks of protest, or urges one to do something.
This exhibition lionized the artist, brought into full public view the scope of her old and unseen artistry, and became a turning point, which marked the beginning of a new period of the author's work.
Nesheva was one of the four artists presented: Maria Krivopishina, Petra Rubar, a world-renowned sculptor Dmitry Yves, whose works are in the private collection of Patricia Cass and Monica Bellucci.
This exhibition is relevant for socio-cultural development and society in general, as it brings up the subject of contrast of the external and internal state of the soul, entering a new level of perception.
The essence of the exhibition is to show the transition from the past to the present and such an ephemeral future.
In December, 2016, Nesheva presented her paintings at the art exhibition within the Fashion Air Days at the Contemporary Art Center M17, Kiev, Ukraine.
Nesheva is a versatile artist, she produced over 50 paintings in her career in addition to creating illustrations for books, a great number of drawings, graphics and various projects.

Legal experts and press freedom groups such as Canadian Journalists for Free Expression, the Canadian Association of Journalists feared that if the charges were upheld it would give precedence to property rights over media rights as defined in case law and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The case also drew international attention from the Fahmy Foundation, Reporters without Borders, and was cited as a concern by the Press Freedom Index.
The 29-page unanimous decision by the Court of Appeal of Newfoundland and Labrador, established an important legal precedent across Canada protecting the legal rights of media against useof injunctions.
Brake was the recipient of the 20th annual Press Freedom Award, awarded annually by the Canadian Committee for World Press Freedom, the 2018 PEN Canada/Ken Filkow Prize for freedom of expression, and co-recipient, with Indigenous journalist Karyn Pugliese, of the 2019 Elias Boudinot Free Press Award, issued by the Native American Journalists Association.
Brake was born in Newfoundland and raised in Ottawa; he does not identify as being indigenous, but says he has some Miꞌkmaq ancestry.
Muskrat Falls is a natural 15 metre waterfall located on the lower Churchill River about 25 kilometers west of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador with great hydropower potential.
This includes development known as the Lower Churchill Project, which has raised concerns of scientists and local Inuit about methyl-mercury poisoning of the water, wildlife and food sources.
Local Indigenous groups say they ere not properly consulted before the project began, and hosted a series of demonstrations against the project, including hunger strikes in 2013.
The Nunatsiavut Government, which represents the Inuit of Labrador, was unsuccessful in using the courts to try and halt the project.
Indigenous demonstrators, who call themselves land and water protectors, broke a lock on October 22 and entered the property of Nalcor Energy.
When Nalcor filed and was granted an injunction to get the demonstrators off the property, they listed Brake on the injunction without mentioning that he was a journalist and not part of the protest.
Brake was charged criminally with mischief and disobeying a court order and with civil contempt proceedings in Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court, because he'd been present on the property.
APTN intervened in the case and Pugliese, then the executive director of news, testified personally, arguing media to be present at conflicts involving Indigenous Peoples, with reference to the calls to action of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which had submitted its final report in December 2015.
It prevents the arbitrary use of injunctions against journalists and recognizes the important role journalists have in covering protests and Indigenous issues in Canada.
As of September 2019, lawyers for the crown filed criminal charges of mischief and unlawfully disobeying an order of the court against Brake even though the charges were based on the same set of facts which Justice Green had dismissed in the civil case.
In November 2019 the Crown decided to drop the charge against Brake of unlawfully disobeying an order of the court, but decided to pursue a charge of mischief over $5,000.

Italian Army Gorget patches ( or ) are worn by all army personnel on the collars of the shirts and jackets of their service uniforms and formal uniforms.
The gorget patches identify the arm (Infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineer, signals, transport and material), corps (Health, commissariat, engineers), or speciality within an arm or corps a soldier belongs to.
General wear golden stars instead of a gorget patches, while army recruits wear silver stars until they are assigned to a unit after basic training.
Originally made from colored cloth, respectively embroidered cloth for Granatieri, Carabinieri and general staff members, gorget patches are made since 1973 from enamelled metal.
Multi-arm units () combine personnel from different arms and corps of the army and are therefore grouped separately from other gorget patches.
Originally the gorget patches of units from other arms and corps assigned to the division were overlaid on the gorget patch of the two regiments of a brigade or division.
However as after World War II infantry regiments with different gorget patches made up the army's divisions this practice was abandoned.
Until 1 June 1999 the Carristi (Tankers) were a speciality of the infantry, which on that date was transferred to the cavalry.
The army's three special forces regiment's combine the infantry speciality gorget patch with two points and the paratroopers symbol, with the color of the speciality they descend from.
Green for the Alpini, Azure for the Paracadutisti, and black for the Arditi, a World War I infantry speciality disestablished in 1920.
In case one of the regiments listed below is reformed, then the corresponding gorget patch will be issued to regiment's personnel.
Before World War II the army formed binary divisions with sister regiments, which in some cases received the name of the division they were assigned to.
The Cavalry () is divided since 1 June 1999 in two specialities: line cavalry and tankers (= personnel of tank regiments).
Tankers, whose speciality was founded as part of the infantry, continue to wear a two-pointed gorget patch, which has traditionally been the patch for infantry specialties.
In case one of the regiments listed below is reformed, then the corresponding gorget patch will be issued to regiment's personnel.
The Sappers Speciality's gorget patch symbol is a black grenade from which a five-tongued red flame emerges, with a metalic gladius over flame and grenade.
The Army Commissariat Corps () was formed on 1 January 1998 by the merger of the Army Commissariat Corps and the Army Administration Corps.
Before the merger Commissariat Corps personnel wore violet gorget patches with one point, while Administration Corps personnel wore black gorget patches with one point and a sky blue edge.
The personnel of the Commissariat Corps tasked with the role of food supplies wore sky blue gorget patches with one point.
These three gorget patches were combined with the gorget patches of specialities of other arms and corps, resulting in dozens of variations.
In 2003 the Commissariat Corps introduced a rectangular blue gorget patch with a golden laurel wreath, which is not combined with any other patch.
The Army Health Corps () is the result of the merger of the Army Medical Corps and Army Veterinary Corps on 1 January 1998.
The corps' personnel wears two different types of gorget patches: amaranth with one point for medical personnel, and sky blue with one point for veterinary personnel.

Legends are associated with these deified heroes, some of which may be based on real, historical heroes of the Vrishni clan.
Their early worship has been variously described as cross-sectarian, much like the cult of the Yakshas, related to the early Bhagavata tradition of Hinduism, and with possible links to Jainism as well.
They and their legends – particularly of Krishna and Balarama – have been an important part of the Vaishnava tradition of Hinduism.
Beyond texts, their importance in ancient India is attested by the ancient inscriptions found near Mathura and coins discovered in the ruins of Ai-Khanoum (Afghanistan), bearing images of the two main Vrishni heroes, with Greek and Brahmi legends.
The cult of the Vrishni heroes existed as an independent cult in Mathura, as suggested by the Mora Well Inscription, and was then amalgamated very progressively into Vaishnavism.
Epigraphical evidence suggests that their legends and worship swiftly expanded to other parts of India by the start of the common era.
The Vrishni heroes are generally identified as Samkarshana (Balarama-Samkarshana, son of Vasudeva by Rohini), Vāsudeva (Vāsudeva-Krishna, son of Vasudeva by Devaki), Pradyumna (son of Vasudeva by Rukmini), Samba (son of Vasudeva by Jambavati), and Aniruddha (son of Pradyumna).
The Vrishni heroes also have distinct individual qualities: Vāsudeva is also associated with gentleness and strength, Samkarsana with knowledge, Pradyumna with female power, and Aniruddha with ferociousness and sovereignty.
According to the Vayu Purana (97.1-2), the five Vrishni heroes were originally human, and their names were Samkarshana, Vāsudeva, Pradyumna, Samba, and Aniruddha.
The heroes would then have evolved into Vaishnavite deities through a step-by-step process: 1) deification of the Vrishni heroes 2) association with the God Narayana-Vishnu 3) incorporation into the Vyuha concept of successive emanations of the God.
Epigraphically, the deified status of Vāsudeva in particular is confirmed by his appearance on the coinage of Agathocles of Bactria (190-180 BCE) and by the devotional character of the Heliodorus pillar inscription (circa 110 BCE).
Also according to Gavin Flood – an Indologist and scholar of Hinduism, Vāsudeva may have originated in a real Vrishni hero or king, but the lineage is difficult to establish.
In early Hinduism, the five Vrishni heroes have been identified as Vāsudeva-Krishna, Samkarsana-Balarama, Pradyumna, Aniruddha and Samba as known from the Medieval Vayu Purana.
The Vrishni heroes appear on the coinage of Agathocles of Bactria, circa 190-180 BCE: Samkarshana, with Gada mace and plow, and Vāsudeva, with Shankha (a pear-shaped case or conch) and Chakra wheel.
On some of the Indian punch-marked coins, three individuals appear without attributes, possibly deities Saṃkarṣaṇa, Vāsudeva and Ekanamsha in the late 4th-2nd century BCE.
Based on analysis of 10th to 12th century Jaina texts, Luders proposed that Vrishnis may have roots in Jainism, noting the co-existence of the Jain and Vrishni-related archaeological findings in Mathura, and the strength of Jainism at that time in Mathura.
He names the Vrishni heroes as Baladeva, Akrura, Anadhrsti, Sarana and Viduratha – all Jain heroes and with Akrura as the commander.
Several pillar capitals with symbolic statuary associated to the Vhrishni heroes have been found in Besnagar around the site of the Heliodorus pillar, dated to about 115 BCE.
The Heliodorus pillar inscription explains that the pillar erected to honour Vāsudeva is a Garuda-vajra, although the Garuda statue has not been found.
According to Susan L. Huntington, the Garuda capital on the Heliodorus pillar was probably similar to on one of the nearly contemporary reliefs at Bharhut.
In Bharhut, a man riding a horse is seen holding a portable pillar-standard, crowned by a bird-man creature similar to a Kinnara.
Other sculptures and pillar capitals were found near the Heliodorus pillar, and it is thought they were dedicated to Vāsudeva's kinsmen, otherwise known as the Vrishni heroes and objects of the Bhagavata cult.
In effect, the findings surrounding the Heliodorus pillar suggest the cult of a trio of the Vrishni heroes in this time and area, composed of the three deities Vāsudesa, Saṃkarṣaṇa and Pradyumna.
Excavations suggests that these various pillars with their symbolic capitals were standing in line at the site, and that the Heliodorus pillar was just one of them, standing at the end of the line.
Although the pillars are aniconic, it is probable that now lost sculptures representing the deities, broadly similar to the depictions on Vāsudeva and Samkarshana on the coins of Agathocles of Bactria (190-180 BCE), were located in adjoining shrines.
The 1963–65 excavations at the site suggest that the site had an elliptical shrine – possibly dating to the 4th to 3rd-century BCE – with a brick foundation and likely a wooden superstructure.
New soil was then added and the ground level raised to build a new second temple to Vāsudeva, with a wooden pillar (Garuda dhvaja) in front of the east-facing elliptical shrine.
In late 2nd-century BCE, after some ground preparation, yet another Vāsudeva temple was rebuilt, this time with eight stone pillars aligned in the north-south cardinal axis.
Saṃkarṣaṇa-Balarama, the Vrishni elder and the leading divinity until the rise to precedence of Vasudeva-Krishna, is known to appear on the coinage of the Indo-Scythian rulers Maues and Azes I during the 1st century BCE.
The two major Vrishni heroes Saṃkarṣaṇa and Vāsudeva, still in their proper seniority order, are again mentioned in the Hathibada Ghosundi Inscriptions, dated to the 1st century BCE.
For the first time they seem to be associated to a higher divinity, as the inscription mention that their cult is made on a precinct of Narayana.
They share some sculptural characteristics with the Yaksha statues found in Mathura, such as the sculpting in the round, or the clothing style.
Sonya Rhie Quintanilla also supports an attribution of the torso to the five Vrishnis, and dates them to around the time of Sodasa (circa 15 CE), which is confirmed on artistic grounds.
The inscription is dated to the early decades of 1st century CE during the reign of Sodasa, probably circa 15 CE.
A decorated doorjamb, also probably belonging to a Temple, on which is inscribed the Vasu Doorjamb Inscription, is dedicated to deity Vāsudeva, and mentions the rule of the Northern Satrap Sodasa, and has similar carving to the Mora doorjamb.
They are all dated to the reign of Sodasa, circa 15 CE and constitute a secure dated artistic reference for the evaluation of datation of other Mathura sculptures.
It has been suggested that the grapevine design had been in the northwest, and maybe associated with the northern taste of the Satrap rulers.
This pilar capital uses five symbols on both sides: a lion, a palm leaf, a makara, an adorned woman, and Yaksha in central position, with a probable top symbol missing.
The lion at the base of the pillar capital is related to the Satvatas tribe of the Vrishnis, as well as to Narasimha and Samkarsana.
The central figure uses the iconography of a Yaksha, pointing to the association of Vrishni iconography with Yasha iconography, as seen in the found with the Mora Well Inscription.
A few triads are known from Mathura, dated to the 1st-2nd century CE, showing Vāsudeva and Saṃkarṣaṇa with their attributes, together with a female standing in the middle, thought to be Ekanamsha.
In these triads, the kinship of the warrior heroes is still emphasized, with the depiction focusing on the elder brother, the younger brother and the sister, with a prominence still given to the elder brother Samkarsana.
The back of the relief is carved with the branches of a Kadamba tree, symbolically showing the relationship being the different deities.
Vāsudeva is fittingly in the center with ornate crown and flower necklace, making the Abhaya Mudra and holding his decorated heavy mace on the side, his elder brother Balarama to his right under a serpent hood, his son Pradyumna to his left (lost), and his grandson Aniruddha on top.
Cult images of Vāsudeva continued to be produced until the 4th century CE, the worship of this Mathuran deity being much more important than that of Vishnu during that period.
Only with the Gupta period, did statues focusing on the worship of Vishnu himself start to appear, using the same iconography as the statues of Vāsudeva, but with the addition of an aureole starting at the shoulders.
From the 4th century CE, independent devotional statues of Vāsudeva-Krishna become very rare, and are replaced by statues of Vishnu with the addition of an aureole.
A relief from Kondamotu, Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh, dates to the 4th century CE, and shows the Vrishni heroes standing in genealogical order around Narasimha.
Then follow Pradyumna, holding a bow and an arrow, Samba, holding a wine goblet, and Aniruddha, holding a sword and a shield.
The Vrishni heroes for the most part became avatars of Vishnu, and where incorporated in the Vaishnavite system from the 4th century CE.
WMJX's broadcast license was revoked by the Federal Communications Commission due to the use of fake news stories to promote a 1975 contest and an error in which advertisers were billed for commercials that did not air.
The station was owned by the Fort Industry Company—later and better known as Storer Broadcasting—and served as the companion and simulcast partner to 710 AM WGBS.
Deviations from its AM simulcast were few: in 1953, WGBS allowed the University of Miami to broadcast its special events over the FM transmitter.
WGBS-FM proved more useful during the Cuban Missile Crisis, when night airtime on WGBS and two other high-power Miami AM stations was used for Voice of America broadcasts to Cuba; the station continued local service on FM during the three weeks that airtime was requisitioned.
In the first such sale, Bartell Broadcasting acquired WJHR and WDEE-FM in Detroit in a $1,225,000 deal made public in April.
WMYQ was the first major FM Top 40 outlet in South Florida, an aggressive, promotionally minded outlet that gave away some $50,000 a year in its contests.
The station hired Roby Yonge away from competitor WLQY (soon to become WHYI-FM) in 1973 to do mornings and fired him the next year amidst a major staff shakeup.
Generally, the station was considered a revolving door of talent and management; other notable people to work for WMYQ included Lee Abrams, Jerry Clifton, Kris Erik Stevens, and Jack McCoy.
The centerpiece of the allegations was an April 1975 vacation contest by morning personality Greg Austin, who created reports from the Devil's Triangle that were integrated into the station's newscasts.
Another area of concern was inconsistent billing practices, which general manager Carl Como pinned on the transition to a computerized billing system, during which time the station did not broadcast commercials on Sundays but some new invoices went out billing advertisers for them.
By the start of 1977, it had closed the gap with WHYI to less than a rating point and climbed to a tie for fourth place in the overall market.
However, the challenge forced Bartell, now fully owned by Downe Communications, to scrap a sale of its WADO New York when the FCC conditioned action on the license transfer on the WMJX hearing.
Administrative law judge Thomas B. Fitzpatrick issued his initial decision in January 1978 and ruled that Bartell Broadcasting of Florida should not have WMJX's license renewed; in addition to the issues raised in the hearing, he noted the 1974 censure over the Magnum One contest.
Bartell attempted to take advantage of the FCC's then-new distress sale policy and sell WMJX to Wave Communications, a Black-owned firm, for $1 million, though the FCC denied the request in July 1979 because the initial decision was adverse to Bartell.
Charter had, in its attempts to appease the FCC, removed local management and some personnel at its corporate office; it had also increased WMJX's charitable involvement.
However, the station struggled to overcome such revelations as the discovery by new management that the station had attempted to improve its ratings by giving away stereo equipment to a family that had four Arbitron diaries; the station dismissed the employee responsible.
In the ensuing saga, WMJX DJ Russ Oasis was fired after he called WHYI to see if they were still broadcasting it, then played the telephone call on the station, violating FCC rules.
However, station management indicated it had plans to continue the appeal, saying that Charter should not be held responsible for Bartell's indiscretions; the FCC countered by noting the two were now under common ownership.
Even before WMJX had left the air, applications came to the Federal Communications Commission for the frequency it would vacate, with the initial field yielding more than 60 interested parties.
In 1982, the FCC designated seven applications for hearing: South Florida Broadcasting Company, Radiocentro Broadcasting Company, First Black Broadcasters of Miami, Constance J. Wodlinger, Onyx Broadcasting of Miami, Rana Broadcasting Company, and Southwest Radio Enterprises.
The new station would receive as its final assignment 96.5 MHz, instead of 96.3, as WMJX would have been relocated there anyway in a 1980 reallocation of various FM station frequencies in Florida.
In the case of Radiocentro and Southwest Radio, proposals to use WMJX's former antenna, diplexed with WAIA on the tower of WPBT, came into doubt when WAIA indicated it no longer had the capacity to diplex another station on its antenna and would not diplex a new station—a blow to Radiocentro.
The initial decision, issued on May 16, 1984, gave the nod to South Florida Broadcasting, owned by former state representative Elaine Bloom, which proposed an ethnic radio station.
The FCC dismissed the Rana bid because Liberty City, as a neighborhood of Miami, was not sufficient to be a community of license; Onyx, which was 30 percent owned and managed by WPLG-TV anchor Dwight Lauderdale, could not prove its financial qualifications adequately; and First Black had attempted to block other applicants from using the candelabra.
However, on appeal, the FCC Review Board remanded the case to the administrative law judge in December 1984, over the antenna site issues of various applicants.
With the case droning on, Wodlinger emerged from the crowd: in 1985, she moved to buy out all of the competing applicants and win the frequency.
The $2.95 million investment Wodlinger made paid off when Beasley Broadcast Group acquired the new station in September for $10.6 million, entering the Miami market.
John Lade (c. 1731 – 1759), of Warbleton, Sussex, was a Member of Parliament for Camelford 1754 – 21 April 1759.
Tadeusz Brodowski (2 September 1821, Warsaw - 31 March 1848, Paris) was a Polish painter; primarily known for scenes with horses.
His father was the well-known Classical painter, Antoni Brodowski, and he was the older brother of Józef Brodowski, a prominent painter of battle scenes.
Two years later, after mounting an exhibition in Warsaw, he moved to Paris, where he perfected his techniques with the battle painter, Horace Vernet.
He died, aged only twenty-six, of unspecified causes; although his death came shortly after the beginning of the French Revolution of 1848.
He has been Deputy Commander of the People's Liberation Army Navy since December 2019, and formerly served as its Deputy Chief of Staff.
He attained the rank of rear admiral (shaojiang) in December 2014, and was promoted to the rank of vice admiral (zhongjiang) in December 2019.
He was Deputy Chief of Staff of East Sea Fleet and Deputy Commander of Zhoushan Coastal Defence Region before serving as Chief of Staff of South Sea Fleet in January 2016.
In April 2018 he was promoted to become Deputy Chief of Staff of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN), a position he held until December 2019, when he was appointed Deputy Commander there.
Her dissertation research involved the classification of Heegaard splittings of three-dimensional manifolds into handlebodies, which she also published in the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society.

On 19 October 2019, it played its first international game ever, that ended with a wide 8–2 against West Papua in The Hague.
On 14 December 2019, East Turkestan played a qualification match for the 2020 CONIFA World Cup against Tamil Eelam in Cergy, France, that ended with a 0–5 loss.
132 singers were present at the first rehearsal in 1863; at the thousandth concert in 1924 there were about 400 singers.
It is situated on the southwestern border of Valhalla Provincial Park, west of Gladsheim Peak, and west of Slocan and Slocan Lake.
The mountain's name commemorates Michael Gregory, a resident of the Slocan area known to his friends as Gregorio, who drowned in a canoeing accident on Slocan Lake in 1971 returning from a climb of nearby Devils Couch.
This peak's name was submitted by Anthony Eweson of New Denver for consideration, and it was officially adopted March 4, 1974, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.

George Insole (baptised 5 December 1790 – 1 January 1851) was an English entrepreneur who built an extensive coal mining and shipping business in South Wales.
A younger son of an English tenant farmer in Worcestershire, Insole made judicious use of significant financial assistance from his wider family to move to Cardiff, Wales, in 1828, to enter into partnership there as a brick, timber and coal merchant (1829–1830), and to become an independent coal producer and shipper in 1832.
Insole is claimed to have been the first to supply the London market (1830), the international market (Malta, 1831), and the Royal Navy (1831) with South Wales steam coal.
Insole was baptised in Worcester, Worcestershire, on 5 December 1790, the fifth of six children of William Insole and Phoebe Insole (née Stinton).
The two older children were baptised at St Helen's Church, Worcester, but from 1823 to 1827 Insole was associated with the Angel Street Independent (Congregational) Meeting House in Worcester.
Insole moved to Cardiff, Wales, in 1828 and by late 1829 was in partnership with Richard Biddle as Insole & Biddle, brick, timber and coal merchants.
The Insole & Biddle day book for 1830 records a shipment of 414 tons of Waun Wyllt steam coal to London.
The shipment did not make a profit but the quality of the coal eventually made it very popular for both household and Royal Navy use.
However, Insole was able to recover his financial position within just a few months and was also left a substantial inheritance that same year.
Situating his offices in Cardiff at the mouth of the Glamorganshire Canal he continued as agent for Waun Wyllt coal and contracts were written to supply London-based coal merchants.
While their assertions were not universally accepted, the Insoles claimed to have been the first to supply the London market (in 1830), the international market (Malta, in 1831), and the Royal Navy (in 1831) with South Wales steam coal.
He was then one of the first to open offices at the Cardiff Docks when the Bute West Dock was opened in 1839.
When his son James Harvey Insole came of age in 1842, Insole took him into partnership as George Insole & Son.
In 1844, as the Maesmawr seam was becoming depleted, they leased and revived collieries at Cymmer and in 1848 opened 36 coking ovens to supply the Taff Vale Railway Company, of which Insole was a principal promoter.
Up to 1847 the Insoles mainly supplied the coastal markets of the Bristol Channel (Bristol, Gloucester), the Cornish ports (St. Ives, Penzance, Fowey), and the Irish markets (Limerick, Dublin, Youghal, Waterford, Cork) with steam coal.
Insole continued to develop his international trade and afterwards supplied markets in France, the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia and South America and became the largest shipper of coal at Cardiff.
In Cardiff, Insole was associated with St John's Church in 1830 (where his daughter was baptised) and afterwards with the independent meetings at the Bethany Baptist Chapel (where his infant son was buried in 1837) and the New Trinity Congregational Chapel (making significant contributions to its rebuilding in 1846).
Insole was involved in the introduction of British Schools in Cardiff and served as a town councillor for the South Ward of Cardiff.
Insole died on 1 January 1851, aged 60, at his residence in Crockherbtown, Cardiff, and was buried at St Margaret’s Church, Roath on 7 January 1851.
The high regard in which he was held is indicated in the two prize-winning elegies on Insole presented at the 1851 Cymmer Eisteddfod.
Insole can be credited with much of the early success of South Wales steam coal in the London and international markets.
The following accounts present Insole as a pioneering entrepreneur of South Wales steam coal, although each is unreliable in various details, especially regarding his origins and early years as a merchant in Cardiff.
They also overlook Biddle's earlier, independent sourcing of Waun Wyllt steam coal and its introduction by him to the Cardiff market prior to the Insole & Biddle partnership.
Copies of his manuscripts and papers are deposited at the Wisbech & Fenland Museum and at other museums, Wisbech Library holds copies of his books in the reference library.
Since his books were written more pubs have closed and a few opened, the Wisbech Canal filled in, the ownership and operators of the Port of Wisbech changed, bridges demolished and new ones built, flood defences built and later improved and the last remaining Wisbech milltower turned into a residence.
He was Political Commissar of the People's Liberation Army Navy Marine Corps in March 2017, and held that office until December 2018, when he was transferred to the People's Liberation Army Air Force and appointed Political Commissar of the Eastern Theater Command Air Force.
He could be the biological son of a Valerius who was adopted by Titus Quinctius Crispinus Sulpicianus, one of the alleged lovers of Julia the Elder; or the son of a Quinctius Crispinus and a Valeria; or even the brother of Crispinus Sulpicianus.
We know that he was a member of the Arval Brethren, for inscriptions confirm his presence at their ceremonies from AD 14 through 27.
The tournament started as the 1996 World Championship, but due to delays in the scheduling of the later rounds, it became the 1997 Championship.
Allison Fisher who had won the title seven times, most recently in 1994, did not enter as she has moved to the United States where she had embarked on a successful pool career.
The original schedule was for the quarter-finals onwards to be held in India, as they had been in 1994 and 1995, from 16 to 19 September 1996, but eventually the final rounds took place in Llanelli, with the semi-finals and final not happening until well into 1997.
This was the last women's world snooker championship to be held before the World Ladies Billiards and Snooker Association amalgamated with the WPBSA later in 1997.
The first four rounds took place at Raunds Cue Sports Club, Northamptonshire, to decide the eight players that would go on to contest the quarter-finals onwards, which were expected to be played in Bombay in mid-September 1996.
Defending champion Karen Corr won her first match without losing a but won only on the final black in the deciding frame of her match against Lynette Horsburgh.
A plate competition was held for players who did not qualify to the quarter finals and was won by Horsburgh, who made a break of 100 in the first round of the plate competition.
Following postponements of the final stages and a lack of response from promoter Barry Hearn's partner in India, it was decided to hold the quarter-finals at the Terry Griffiths Matchroom, Llanelli, and they took place in November 1996.
The semi-finals and final were eventually scheduled to be held in Llanelli in mid-1997, following a continued lack of communication from Hearn's partner in India.
The final between Corr and Fisher was closely contested until 3–3 but then Corr won three frames in a row to take her third world title.
The tournament finished some eleven months after the start of the qualifying matches, and was the end of promoter Hearn's relationship with women's snooker that stretched back to 1990.
This was the last world championship to be held before the amalgamation of the World Ladies Billiards and Snooker Association with the WPBSA a few months later.
The intention was that major finals for women should be played at the same venues as the men's events, for example the womens' world championship final being held at the Crucible Theatre during the World Snooker Championship.
Stanton did not stay long in the infantry, becoming an Additional Paymaster in the Volunteer Army in October the same year.

The Legislative Assembly had seven directly-elected members; three representing Tongatapu and nearby islands, two representing Haʻapai and two representing Vavaʻu and nearby islands.. A further seven members were elected by the nobility based on the same constituencies, seven ministers (including the governors of Haʻapai and Vavaʻu) and a Speaker chosen by the monarch, Sālote Tupou III.
The People's Commissariat of Defense of the Soviet Union was the highest military department of the Soviet Union from 1934 to 1946.
In the 1920–1930s, the highest military authority of the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic/Soviet Union was called the People's Commissariat for Military and Naval Affairs.
On June 20, 1934, the People's Commissariat for Military and Naval Affairs of the Soviet Union was transformed into the All-Union People's Commissariat for Defense of the Soviet Union.
On February 1, 1944, in connection with the adoption of the Law of the Soviet Union on the creation of military formations of the Union republics, the People's Commissariat of Defense of the Soviet Union was transformed from the All–Union People's Commissariat into the Union–Republican.
On February 25, 1946, by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union, the People's Commissariat of Defense of the Soviet Union merged with the People's Commissariat of the Navy of the Soviet Union into a single Union–Republican People's Commissariat of the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union.
Under this name, the central authority was designated in documents for less than a month, since in accordance with the Law of the Soviet Union of March 15, 1946 on the transformation of the Councils of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union and Union Republics into Councils of Ministers, it was renamed the Ministry of Armed Forces of the Soviet Union.
The printing organ of the People's Commissariat for Military and Naval Affairs in the part of the General Staff was the Military Affairs magazine.
The central organ of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the Soviet Union to educate the commanding and rank-and-file staff of the Red Army, to promote combat training tasks and to develop advanced military thought was the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper.
While seeking work to pay for the repairs in a local cantina, he meets Toro Calican (Jake Cannavale), a young bounty hunter looking to join the guild by capturing Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen), a well-trained mercenary.
Peli, meanwhile, has come across the Child and begins to take care of it while working on the ship, growing slightly attached to it.
They eventually come across a Dewback with a dead-bounty hunter attached to it, which turns out to be bait laid out by Shand to attract anyone looking for her.
The two manage to avoid her attacks and take her into custody but she manages to destroy one of their speeder bikes in the fight.
She tells him that the Mandalorian is a traitor to the guild and that the bounty on the Mandalorian and the Child are worth a great deal more than her bounty.
However, Calican shoots her, assuming that she would betray him, and heads to the repair facility on the speeder bike, where he captures Motto and the Child.

Henri Jean Charles Eugène Denis (1877–1957) was a lieutenant general in the Belgian Army who served as Minister of National Defence at the beginning of the Second World War.
He was promoted to lieutenant in 1906, adjutant to the General Staff in 1907, junior captain in 1912, full captain in May 1914.
On 22 October 1914 he was removed from active duty after an accident and attached to the Ministry of War in the Belgian government in exile at Le Havre.
In February 1917 he was appointed commissioner of the military railways, becoming a logistics specialist, and he was promoted to major on 26 September the same year.
Denis was appointed Minister of National Defence in the government that took office under Paul-Emile Janson on 23 November 1937, and retained the position in the administrations headed by Paul-Henri Spaak and Hubert Pierlot in the run-up to the Second World War.
He was among the four members of the government who met with King Leopold III at Wijnendale Castle on 25 May 1940 and failed to convince the monarch to follow the government into exile in France.
He himself, aged 68, resigned from the Belgian government in exile when it relocated to London in October 1940, opting to remain in retirement in Vichy France.

The December 5, 2019, Miramar shootout was the pursuit of jewelry store robbers in Miramar, Florida, United States, which culminated in a shootout killing the perpetrators, the kidnapped driver of a UPS van (which they had carjacked), and a bystander.
The president of Miami-Dade's police union claimed that at least eleven officers opened fire on the UPS truck in response to the robbers' firing first.
At approximately 4:14 p.m., Lamar Alexander and Ronnie Jerome Hill robbed the jewelry store, Regent Jeweler at Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, Florida.
The two suspects exchanged gunfire with the store owner during the robbery, injuring one jewelry shop worker and hitting nearby Coral Gables City Hall with a stray bullet, causing that building to be placed on lock down.
Several police cars pursued the suspects until the UPS truck became boxed in by slow-moving rush hour traffic in Miramar, about north of the jewelry store.
The sister of the deceased UPS driver who was killed, while a hostage during the shootout, used Twitter to express her anger about how the police handled the situation.
She was angered that the police responded quickly with gunfire, and did not attempt to negotiate the hostage situation, which she believed caused her brother's death.

A water audit, similar to an energy audit, is the method of quantifying all the flows of water in a system to understand its usage, reduce losses and improve water conservation.
It can be performed on a large scale for a city or a state as well on a smaller scale for irrigation projects, industries, and buildings.
The audit can begin with an extensive approach to generate the water balance using available data and estimates which helps in identifying specific areas to concentrate in further stages.
Since then many states and regional water regulatory agencies have attempted to measure water loss based upon the calculations carried out in the report but with little success.
The National Environmental Policy Act of 1970 was also a driving force leading to the development of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which created awareness about water conservation and efficiency.
Water loss is a critical global problem and according to the World Bank, around 45 million m of water is lost every day which accounts to over US$3 billion every year.Asia alone loses half of its distribution water due to leakages in pipes.
This huge amount of water loss adds strain to governments and utilities in their funding and deprives clean water to a major population which endures water scarcity.
It can save money, time and effort that goes into treatment of water up to consumable standards, installation and distribution of systems.
The basic methodology of any water audit involves evaluating the source, calculating the consumption, identifying the losses and measuring the performance indicators.
American Water Works Association and International Water Association have established manuals that details the steps involved in conducting a water audit and they are considered to be the gold standard in water industry.
Apart from these manuals, many local and state government bodies also have their guidelines for audits according to their geographical requirements.
American Water Works Association is a century old international nonprofit, scientific and educational association established in 1881 to improve water quality and supply.
The manual provides detailed instructions on the audit process, which occurs at three levels a) top-down approach, b) component analysis, and c) bottom-up approach.
For top-down approach, all water flow data are collected in order to calculate the water balance between input volume and the sum of consumption and losses.
It is important to clearly identify system boundaries prior to the audit, defined by metering points at both input and output of a water system.
Water balance calculation usually provides a guide as to how much water is lost as a result of customer meter inaccuracy, systematic data handling error and unauthorized consumption, as well as leakage.
Instructions are also provided for water sources that are unmetered or have meters that are not calibrated or maintained for a long time.
The numbers and data attained from available sources has to be adjusted at different levels due to various reasons including meter inaccuracies, changes in storage level and additional sources in distribution.
In top-down approach, distribution water that is not accounted under billed authorized consumption are called as Non-revenue water as they do not bring revenue to utility or government or distribution company.
The losses in a water system can be a) apparent, due to inaccuracy in measurement of water that is successfully delivered, and b) real, due to leakage in system.
The advantage of top-down approach is that it can be assembled relatively quickly and give a reasonable sense of utility’s accountability status and the nature and extent of its losses.
Performance indicators established in manual provide the auditors an insight to the loss standing in a particular functional area both at a broad and detailed levels.
Apparent losses can be identified by analyzing billing systems to identify discrepancies, by performing meter calibration and accuracy test on random samples, and by assessing a sample of places for unauthorized consumption potential.
Real losses are predominantly due to leakages which can be identified by various techniques and methods detailed in manual using bottom-up approach.
The audit is usually the first step towards water conservation and the manual emphasizes on importance to act on the outcomes of audit and sustain the water loss control program.
The manual consists of performance indicators (PI) of water supply management along with indicators for human resources, infrastructure, operations, quality of service and economics.
The indicators facilitate assessments and analysis of progress by contributing to the quantification of performance of a system over a period of time from a specific point of view.
The manual provides guidelines to prioritize the indicators on four levels based on size of the system, available resources and level of details required.
The indicators to monitor performance of water resources are a) Water Resource Inefficiency (%) b) Water Resource availability (%) c) Availability of own water resources (%) and d) water reused in supply (%).
The audit methods of this manual follow the practices endorsed by American Water Works Association in its manual for water audit (M36).
The assessment table in the manual using a 1-5 scale helps in developing a score of certainty for each data component used in the audit, with 1 being low degree of certainty and 5 being the highest.
A validation score of less than 40 is considered to be preliminary and utility companies are required to improve the accuracy of data collected.
The goal of audit is to achieve a high validation score using practices listed out in both top-down and bottom-up approaches that reflects high level of confidence in the water audit results.
1420) in 2014 which requires water suppliers to submit an audit once in every five years as part of urban water management plans.
The guide provides step-by-step methodology of conducting an audit for identifying opportunities to improve water conservations in facilities such as office buildings, hospitals, hotels and motels, schools, restaurants, laundries, and car washes.
Benchmarks are provided for annual water use in each of these facilities to provide a quick initial assessment of water use to the users.
The audit categories are divided into Basic and Advanced, to be choses depending upon the level of experience and expertise available in conducting the audits.
The basic audit category specifies background and description, audit steps, worksheets, and post-audit guidance for different equipment and aspects inside a facility such as meters and submeters, leak detection, utility bills, kitchen water use, cooling towers, irrigation systems and rain sensors.
The advanced audit procedures provide an in-depth understanding of some of the areas covered in basic audits which guides the users in identifying future water use, expenses and savings, and payback period of savings after implementing the improvements.
To further improve the efficiency of water audits, guidelines are provided to a) prepare water balance of the facility, accounting for all water use from its source to all of the applications, b) create historical water use profile using bills that can point out fluctuations in water use, c) identify alternative water sources on-site for eg., rainwater harvesting, boiler condensate and treated gray water/ waste water.
It provides brief steps to conduct a water audit, in accordance to AWWA’s M36 manual, for irrigation, domestic and industrial sectors.
As part of the audit, bulk metering systems can be devised zone-wise or consumer-wise in a system to facilitate detection of water waste.
The clear-cut objectives of water audit applicable to irrigation systems include scope of distribution network, deliverables such as yield available and water efficiency, delivery locations/command areas and types of losses.
The objective of water auditing in irrigation is to complement benchmark data in order to generate new measures and enhance performance.
Also, besides data validation, visual observations/remarks of the ground should be recorded to eliminate inconsistency during estimation of water use efficiency.
A water audit, combined with superior irrigation practices, will substantially improve or maximize benefits of irrigation systems and thereby sustain its efficiency and conserve water use.
The audits along with addition of soil surfactants can improve Distribution Uniformity (DU) and result in ameliorating the soil water repellency (SWR) of an outdoor field.
The irrigation audit helps to achieve a perfect irrigation system which sufficiently waters the entire field, maintains turf quality and also achieves optimum efficiency.
The use of surfactants reduces surface tension at the soil-air interface and creates hydrophilic particles in order to improve water infiltration and reduce water runoff by 20%.
The number of audits on projects have steadily increased over the years from 1200 up to 2500 as of 2017 and a water audit report is published at the end of each year.
The state has followed the guidelines provided by the ministry of water resources, India for conducting water audits on irrigation projects.
These audits conducted on irrigation systems were able to fetch out valuable information such as water availability, water use at state level, region wise water losses, details of areas planned and actually irrigated, unutilized water from storage, percentage of evaporation, and conveyance efficiency of canals.
The results show that, in 2017, 10% of water from live storage were unutilized and about 275 m of water was lost due to leakage in minor irrigation projects in Maharashtra.
Therefore, water audit is one of the necessary requirements to minimize its overuse and operate industries with optimum level of water consumption.
Water audit is perhaps a more effective tool to achieve water conservation and outweighs the traditionally chosen mathematical approaches like water pinch analysis.
It is defined as the threshold above which water audit is required in a pre-defined boundary system to alter the current water management practices.
A water audit study was conducted in a well-renowned petroleum refinery in south of Perth, Western Australia in 2003, successfully reducing daily water consumption from 7 Mega Liters to 4 Mega Liters in a very short time frame of 7 years.
The primary level audit was aimed at calculating the overall water inputs and effluent discharges with closure set at 10% and the secondary level audit was aimed at defining water usage across three main functional areas i.e.
Three types of water that were monitored by the refinery data management, field studies and desktop studies were scheme water, bore water and cogeneration steam.
Based on initial calculations, the non-revenue water losses were approximately 36%, thus, a closure was not obtained, and intensive audit was necessary.
To overcome these losses, it was reported that site received roughly 48% of rainfall which can be utilized as an additional source of water.
This proved to be a cost-effective and feasible quick fix due to the presence of aquifers which can be used as rainwater storage sites.
Similarly, the secondary audit resulted in an unmet closure because of huge losses around the refinery cracking unit, increased steam consumption and faulty sensors activating car wash. Water audit proves to be a useful exercise to maximize water conservation even in a successfully operating refinery plant.
Another example of industrial audit would be the water audit was conducted on a sodium cyanide plant located in south-west Western Australia in July 2013.
As per the methodology, five flow diagrams were prepared for primary, process, utility, miscellaneous water flows, and flows to the onsite water treatment wetland.
The auditors conducted investigations on which water inputs were directed to ‘process’, ‘utility’, and ‘miscellaneous’ flows, enabling them to infer the quality of water entering each unit on site without requiring water quality testing.
The results of primary audit indicated a difference or imbalance between inputs and outputs of 0.7% which is considered to be very less and thus demonstrating that when flows are not metered, estimates can still be made on the basis of proxy data and known scientific relationships.
This audit on an industrial process used straightforward methods to identify water imbalance and techniques to conserve water by up to 40%.
Buildings water audits are an essential tool for owners and facility managers to increase water use efficiency and thereby reducing operating costs and increasing building occupants’ comfort.
A water audit was conducted from 2013-2018 by the City Energy Project, a joint initiative between the Institute of Market Transformation and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), for buildings chosen across 20 cities in the United States.
The audits were conducted in accordance to local water audit guidelines (if available) and the guidelines for irrigation audits by EPA.
The audits were conducted on three levels ranging from brief on-site surveys to identification of energy conservation measures to rigorous engineering analysis.
A comprehensive report of a building water audit may contain information such as total annual water use, water use balance, proposed conservation measures, cost-benefit analysis, estimated cost and simple payback, and worksheets containing collected data.
Potential savings from a water audit in buildings range from 20-65% for toilets, 50-100% for urinals, 20-30% for shower heads and 15-50% for dishwashers.
The cost of conducting a water audit is usually a low amount when compared to financial savings gained from implementing the corrective measures identified in an audit.
The cost benefits from conducting a water audit is expected to be usually high for older systems and potentially in cold regions where distribution systems are stressed out due to severe weather conditions.
A water audit conducted by the state of Tennessee in January 1988 across 278 utility companies saved $24.4 million per year at an expense of $2.7 million.
The corrective measures taken by the State of Philadelphia from 2000-2011 after a water audit, saved $23 million by reducing the real and apparent losses.
Water audits conducted by small utilities in the States of Virginia, California and Nova Scotia have resulted in savings ranging from $300,000 to $500,000 annually.
Black & Veatch conducted a water audit for Miami Dade county’s Water and Sewer Department in 2016 and the audit findings show that annual financial losses of $21,682,334 occurred due to system infrastructure and billing inefficiencies.
The South African Union for Progressive Judaism (SAUPJ) is an affiliate of the World Union for Progressive Judaism and supports 11 progressive congregations.
The SAUJP estimates that it represents around 6,000 South African Jews and around 10 per cent of the overall Jewish population residing in South Africa.
Jocelyn Hellig, professor of religious studies and one of the best-known interpreters of South African Judaism, wrote about the community in a seminal paper on Jewish practice published in 1987.
This was also given as an explanation for the relatively modest presence of Masorti Judaism in the country (Hellig 1987; Shain 2011).
The paper also observed that for practical purposes, progressive Jews prefer to go through Orthodox channels to seek and attain divorce (Hellig 1987).
The community has traditionally been pro-Zionist and inspired by the founding Rabbi of Progressive Judaism in South Africa, Rabbi Moses Cyrus Weiler, who made Aliyah (Hellig 1987).
South Africa did not experience a significant wave of Jewish migration from Germany, where Reform Judaism and the Haskalah originate (Hellig 1987).
It is true that Anglo-German Jewry established the South African Jewish community and later around 6, 500 German Jewish refugees came to South Africa between 1933 and 1942 (Hellig 2009).
However, Gustav Saron argues that as the dominant immigrant group, Lithuanian Jews have shaped the essential character of the community (Shain 2011).
South African synagogue affiliation has also tended to be more focused on family association rather than on ideological choices (Hellig 1987).
Community growth may have also been stymied by the significance of the non-observant Orthodox, the dominant mode of Jewish religious identification in the country (Hellig 1987; Stier 2004).
The Progressive movement in South Africa and the overall South African Jewish population reached its high point in the 1970s with an estimated Jewish population of 120 000 of whom 11 000 identified with the Progressive movement.
This may mark a slight proportional increase from a 1998 survey that put the percentage of Progressive Jews at 7% (Shain 2011).
Milton Shain, one of the most prominent readers of the South African Jewish experience has a more conservative estimate, arguing that during its zenith, Progressive Judaism accounted for a 17% share (Shain 2011).
Kaplan pointed to Australia, which has a similar composition of Jewish society and where the development of such schools has stabilized the progressive community's numbers (Kaplan 2000).
South African children along with their Israeli counterparts form the main immigrant groups of children attending the Akiva School, a Reform-based primary at the Sternberg Centre in London.
A 2010 study was commissioned by the Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies at the University of Cape Town to look at the composition of South African Jewish communities residing in London.
There are 11 progressive congregations, mostly concentrated in South Africa's metropolitan areas; Johannesburg (4), Cape Town (3), Durban (1), Pretoria (1), East London and Port Elizabeth.
The largest congregation is in Cape Town as the Cape Town Progressive Jewish Congregation (CTPJC) brings together three congregations with a membership of 3, 000.
Rabbi Sa'ar Shaked of Beit Emanuel Progressive Synagogue is currently involved in efforts to establish a Rabbinic Academy and Higher Education Institution in Gauteng.
The movement was inspired when ethnologist, Abraham Zevi Idelsohn visited his family in Johannesburg in September 1929 for his parents’ Golden Wedding anniversary.
At the time Idelson was a professor at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion where he gave talks on the nature and principles of Reform Judaism.
Jerry undertook this task and then joined his brother in Europe where they met several prominent leaders of the Progressive movement such as Lily Montagu.
Then with the aid of Montagu and his brother, Jerry negotiated with Moses Cyrus Weiler, a student at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion to join the burgeoning movement in South Africa.
(Hellig 1987) Progressive leaders have argued that the non-observant Orthodox population observe less than their Progressive counterpats and that they would be more comfortable in the Progressive movement (Hellig 1987).
On 6 August 1983 a limpet mine exploded outside Temple Israel, four hours before State President Marais Viljoen was scheduled to attend a ceremony marking the congregation's 50th anniversary.
Mahommed Iqbal Shaik of the Dolphin Unit of Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) later assumed responsibility during the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings and he was granted amnesty.
In 1993 there were divisions when Rabbi Ady Asabi declared both the Beit Emanuel Progressive Synagogue and Imanu-Shalom congregations as independent and Masorti synagogues, breaking with the SAUPJ and Progressive Judaism.
This includes the Moses Weiler School in Alexandra where for generations the school has been funded and led by women from the Progressive movement, even in opposition to the Bantu Education Act, 1953 (Feld 2014).
Chaetomium perlucidum is a neurotropic dematiaceous (melanated cell wall) fungus that is naturally found in the soil, including in agricultural soil, and in the stems of dead plants.
The fungus is an invasive opportunist to humans that can cause diseases such as onychomycosis (fungus on nails), otolaryngologic (head and neck) or respiratory inflammations (like sinusitis, pneumonia, and empyema), and brain necrosis.
An infection can spread throughout the body from a single point of infection into various other systems, e.g., the central nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, and immune systems, with especially a low prognosis for cerebral infections.
There have been at least two reported cases of cerebral phaeohyphomycosis in humans with one case resulting in death, reported in 2003.
Optimal growth temperature however is at 37° C. Mature perithecia can be obtained if the fungus has access to a sterile plant source.
The 2018 Alpine Elf Europa Cup was the inaugural season of the Alpine Elf Europa Cup, the one-make sports car racing series organized by Alpine for Alpine A110 Cup cars.
The main purpose of the proposal was to offer a much cheaper alternative to NASA's 90-day study from 1989 by a factor of $30 billion.
Although it did not gather much mainstream attention, NASA dedicated a lot of time into putting together a very detailed and thorough proposal.
However the entire Space Exploration Initiative was cancelled soon after the proposals completion and NASA had to close don't the Office of Space Exploration in March of 1993.
It was intended to be the flagship of the program from which other proposals such as ILREC would have to compete against.
The FLO concept incorporated many recommendations from the 1991 Stafford Synthesis report, mainly the use of a Nova class super heavy launch vehicle to minimize assembly and operations in LEO and on the surface of the Moon.
FLO was a major change from previous SEI proposals as the vehicle was standalone and expendable rather than reusable and being staged off of Space Station Freedom.
The design was based off of massive yet simple launchers to carry massive amounts of payloads at once rather than many small and complicated launches.
The program would have almost completely consisted of existing technology such as the Saturn and Space Station with the only the landing vehicle needing to be developed.
Based off of the recommendations of the Stafford Synthesis report, FLO would have relied on a massive Saturn-derived launch vehicle known as the Comet.
The Comet would have been capable of injecting 254.4 tons into low earth orbit and 97.6 tons on a TLI making it one of the most capable vehicles ever designed.
NASA's Marshall Spaceflight Center looked into the Comet rocket or a possible configuration of the then-in-development National Launch System with four F-1A boosters added to the basic 2-stage NLS vehicle.
The Saturn V derived design consisted of a standard Saturn V but with a new third stage, stretched first and second stages, and new F-1 side boosters.
It would use two 222.5 KN-thrust engines and would have reduced the size and weight of the lunar injection stage and significantly reduced the size of the vehicle in general.
The baseline study used the chemical engines instead due to the fact that they would cost $2 billion less to develop.
This along with the military's Timberwind project revived the U'S nuclear propulsion program for the first time since NERVA's cancellation in the 70s.
The Comet would send the lander on a trajectory to the lunar surface where it would then use its engines to brake and land.
It weighted 12,992 kg dry and 44,151 kg wet and would be able to carry 5,000 kg of equipment and cargo along with its 18,077 kg earth return stage.
Astronauts would have to descend from the crew capsule down a ladder to a platform before going down a stair ladder to the surface.
It would be used to transport massive amounts of material to the lunar surface in order to construct a surface outpost.
It would carry the initial habitat module before the first manned mission and would later be used to carry rovers and other habitats to the surface.
It wouldn't need any additional setup after landing and would be able to self deploy it's 20 KW solar array and perform its own system check.
Later expeditions could expand the base to accommodate more crew and eventually be permanently manned or use the site as a proving ground for deep space technology.
Each traverse would drive out to a maximum range of 25 km and they would visit major geographical features and gathering data about the area.
Mission designers decided on four major disciplines that surface teams would focus on during the mission: astronomy, geophysics, life sciences, and space and solar systems physics.
It consisted of several experiments for the astronauts to demonstrate the use of resources on the Moon such as heating lunar regolith to extract oxygen, which would also be the main objective of the next proposed lunar mission ILREC.
The second mission would focus less on exploration and more on setting up additional research equipment as well as tending to the outpost.
The main focus of the crew would be drilling on the surface using a 10 meter drill to extract resources and samples.
They would also begin deploying a radio telescope array and revisit the optical telescope site and switch detectors as an operational test.
The at the time existing Shuttle EVA Suits required lots of maintenance and astronauts needed to pre-breathe oxygen in order to avoid the bends as a result of nitrogen bubbling in the bloodstream.
A precursor program that would have ran during the early 2000s and used Ariane rockets and Space Shuttles to operate a low cost lunar exploration infrastructure.
The Space Shuttle would carry the Lunar Exploration Vehicle while the Araine 5 (or Titan IV) would carry a wide bodied Centaur G rocket stage.
Once the surface mission is complete, the vehicle would separate two large spherical drop tanks and ascend directly to Earth, once again skipping low lunar orbit.
In order to achieve the payload capacity required for this mission, the Araine V would need an additional two SRBs and the Space Shuttle would need the lightweight Al-Li External Tank or Advanced Solid Rocket Motors to carry 25,720kg payloads to a 300km orbit.
The crew capsule would be the same upscaled Apollo capsule used on FLO but would only need to support a crew of two which meant it could carry extra supplies and payload.
When the White House National Science and Technology Council released their revision of the National Space Policy in September 1996, it specifically lacked any mention of human space exploration beyond Earth's orbit.
The next day, President Clinton stated on a campaigning trip through the Pacific Northwest that a human mission to Mars was too expensive and instead affirmed America's commitment to a series of less expensive probes, thus removing human exploration from the national agenda.

Both had fibreglass-epoxy structures, with a high wing, a tailboom with a conventional tail and a forward fuselage with two seats in tandem under a long canopy.
Both aircraft had two-part wings built around a single spar with a glassfibre-covered D-box ahead of it and fabric covering behind.
Unlike the Bakcyl, no forward sweep was necessary because the weight of the engine moved the centre of gravity rearwards to the passenger's seat, allowing the Pelikan to be flown with that seat occupied or empty, so the central section of the wing was rectangular in plan and the long tips straight-tapered on both leading and trailing edges.
Forward of the wing the two aircraft were similar but the pod of the Pelikan ended ahead of the trailing edge of the wing.
Its flat four, air-cooled, Limbach L2000 engine was mounted on the wing and drove a pusher propeller, requiring the slender, rounded tailboom to be lowered from the wing, on the Bakcyl, to the bottom of the pod.
The tail was similar to that of the Bakcyl, with a tall, broad fin and smaller, fabric covered rudder, together trapezoidal in profile, and a smaller, low set, fin-mounted, rectangular plan horizontal tail at the extreme end of the tailboom, its one-piece elevator aft of the rudder.
The Pelikan had fixed tricycle gear with mainwheels, equipped with brakes, on arched, cantilever, fibreglass-epoxy/spring legs from the lower fuselage (though one photograph shows an additional drag strut) and a smaller, steerable nosewheel.

He had come on as a substitute for the second half and scored in the 55th minute 1-0 (final score 1:1), at a time when substitutes were rarely practiced.
In total, 79 players scored 165 goals after substitutions, 21 of them scored only goals after substitutions, including Max Kruse with four, Olaf Marschall with three and Andreas Thom and Patrick Helmes with two goals each.
For 46 players, the goal after a substitute their first international goal, Dieter Müller get three, Thomas Hitzlsperger, Erich Beer and Ronald Worm two goals each.
For Dieter Müller it was also the first international match and the gates led first to equalize in EC 1976 Semi final and then to victory.
The final after subsitution goal was scored by Lars Stindl in the 2-2 draw against France on 14 November 2017, ten minutes after his substitution in the third minute of additional time.
The most successful scorer in world championships is André Schürrle with three goals (2014) in front of Rudi Völler, who scored two goals in 1986 after substitutions.
Best scorer at European Championships was Dieter Müller with three goals ahead of Oliver Bierhoff, who scored two goals in 1996 after substitution.
In two matchs, there were two penalties for Germany, in two cases both penalties by one player (Fritz Walter World Cup 1954 semi-final and Bastian Schweinsteiger) were converted.
Once two players (Torsten Frings and Lukas Podolski were successful iat the same match and once both shooters could not take advantage of it at the same match.
Penalties were given most often against Bulgaria: 9 in a total of 21 matchs, 42% of matches against Bulgaria, of which 8 were converted.
In 15 matchs, the conversion of the penalty was decisive to the match, where it came four times by the converted penalty after deficit still in a draw and once followed by another penalty.
In 36 matchs, the converted penalty was the first goal, including in May 1963 the first goal in the first match against world champions Brazil.
51 penalties were converted in friendly matches, 18 in European Championship qualifiers, 11 in World Cup qualifiers and 10 in World Cup matchs.
Most penalties were given by Italian and Swiss referees (11 each), with the Swiss referees running just over half as many matches as the Italians (55 vs. 109).
The Italian Nicola Rizzoli is the only referee to have scored three penalties for the German team - including two in one match.
For Franz Beckenbauer, Albert Brülls, Jürgen Grabowski, Horst-Dieter Höttges, Hans Kalb, Werner Krämer , Pierre Littbarski, Josef Lüke and Andreas Möller were the only penalties for the national team.
The goalkeeper of this match Alan Fettis is so far the only goalkeeper against whom two penalties could not be converted.
Only one of the matches was lost due to the missed penalty, the defeat against Serbia at the 2010 World Cup had no effect on the tournament, as Germany still group winners and Serbia was eliminated anyway.
So far, the German team has had to make eight matches on the penalty shootout, six of them were won and two lost.
Germany and Argentina are the only teams that have won penalties four times each in World Cups, but Argentina only five times, Germany, however, only four times and thus the only team ever, which stood more than once in a penalty shootout at a World Cup, a 100% win rate in this discipline.
Sepp Maier (1976) and Eike Immel (1988) are the only goalkeepers who could not hold a penalty in a penalty shoot-out.
Four times all German shooter were successful, in three cases only four German shooter had to compete because the decision had already been made before the fifth German shooter had to compete.
Even with the two lost penalties the fifth shooter did not have to compete because the decision had already been made.
In two cases (1982 and 1996) the additional sixth German shooter scored the victory, in 2016 only the ninth shooter (Jonas Hector).
The emigration of Cubans after the victory of the 1959 Cuban Revolution to October of 1962, has been dubbed the Golden exile and the first emigration wave in the greater Cuban exile.
After the success of the revolution various Cubans who had allied themselves or worked with the overthrown Batista regime fled the country.
This period of the Cuban exile is also referred to as the Historical exile, mainly by those who emigrated during this period.
Many of the emigrants that would leave believed they would be returning soon to Cuba, believing the U.S. would soon intervene and overthrow the Fidel Castro government.
On January 3, 1961 the United States broke off diplomatic relations with Cuba and afterwards emigrants gained visas for humanitarian reasons, and after arriving in the United States they could apply for parole and gain refugee status.
In April of 1961 the Bay of Pigs Invasion consisting of many militant and anti-fidelista Cuban exiles would fail to take over Cuba.
Growing controversy in Cuba with the nationalization of Catholic schools spurred the development of Operation Peter Pan to relocate children to the United States.
Researcher Jorge Duany claims the majority of exiles were urban, middle-aged, well-educated, light-skinned, and white-collar workers, who emigrated primarily did so for religious, or political reasons.
He also claims that while the first emigrants left because they were old Bastianos, those after left because of disillusionment with the new government and because economic reforms and nationalizations of American companies had harmed their professions.
Researchers Irving Louis Horowitz and Jaime Suchlick have claimed about half of those who emigrated were blue collar workers and many of those were agricultural workers and fishermen.
Horowitz and Suchlick claim that while most emigrants were not involved in militant movements a majority did financial support them until later becoming disillusioned after the failures of such movements.

Inna Ivanovna Lubimenko (Любименко Инна Ивановна), or Lioubimenko, (1(13) April 1878 - 15 January 1959) was a Russian and Soviet historian of the early modern period and a specialist in Anglo-Russian relations.
She earned her doctorate in Paris and travelled regularly to London and Moscow in the course of her researches, publishing articles in English language and French journals.
From 1916 she was based in Russia, working as a researcher, archivist, and lecturer at official academic institutions, particularly the Academy of Sciences whose history she researched and helped to write.
She received her basic education at the Obolenskaya Gymnasium before taking higher classes in the history of the Middle Ages under Ivan Mikhaĭlovich Grevs and Georgīĭ Vasilevich Forsten, graduating in 1904.
She married the distinguished botanist and academician Vladimir Nikolaevich Lyubimenko, who worked in the Nikitsky Botanical Garden in Crimea where they lived for a time.
During her studies in Paris, Lubimenko made regular trips to London and Moscow and developed an interest in Anglo-Russian diplomatic and commercial relations of the early-modern period which became her specialist subject.
Later articles explored the subject through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries from the diplomatic and trading perspectives, identifying the impact of one on the other in strengthening or loosening ties between England and Russia.
After Paris, Lubimenko joined the main Saint Petersburg botanical garden as a foreign correspondent and translator in 1916 before teaching and lecturing at various institutions including the Central Archive.
In 1923 she attended the fifth International Congress of Historical Sciences in Brussels and in 1925 travelled to Latvia, Germany, France and England to study archiving methods there and acquire archival material.
Her health began to decline from 1926 but she continued to hold research positions at academic institutions in Russia, particularly the Academy of Sciences about whose founding and history she published a number of articles.
She joined the Saint Petersburg branch of the Institute of History in March 1942 and was evacuated in July that year to Yelabuga, then to Tashkent, where she worked until 1944.
Lubimenko retired in 1952 but continued to participate in academic life, writing essays on the history of Saint Petersburg for a volume on the history of the city that was published in 1955 and editing chapters of the first volume of the history of the Academy of Sciences.

Born Geoffry Frank Laundon on 7 May 1938 in Kettering, England to parents Frank and Marjorie, Laundon was educated at the University of Sheffield, receiving a B.Sc.
In 1965 he emigrated to New Zealand and became mycologist at the Plant Health & Diagnostic Station at Levin, New Zealand and continued to research the taxonomy and nomenclature of rusts.
In 1977, in a highly unusual step at the time, Laundon publicly announced her gender transition in a scientific journal, taking the name Gillian Fiona Laundon, while still continuing with her research.
Among his most important contributions was a new system of spore terminology published in 1967, which was controversial at the time but was generally accepted by the time of her death.
Laundon was the first to realise there were two species involved when the poplar rusts were first found in New Zealand in 1972, a claim not verified until samples of the spores were examined with an electron microscope.
She designed and built a light meter that could be used for taking photographs through a microscope, and light incubators for a mycology laboratory, as well as learning to programme computers.

In 1980, geologist Francisco E. Nullo noticed the presence of sauropod bones on a hillside of the Estancia Alta Vista, south of the Centinela River in the Santa Cruz province of Argentina.
The old site was relocated and new excavations were carried out between 13 and 17 January and 14 to 19 March 2019, and a new site was discovered on the Estancia La Anita.
The large number of authors is a consequence of the fact that the article described the entire fauna in which every expert contributed his part.
The second sacral vertebra has a keel that extends into a protrusion that fits into a hole in the oval back facet of the first vertebra; their contact is normally flat.
The fact that the front leg was not used for a powerful sale is clear from the delta-detectoral comb of the humerus that is reduced to a low ledge.
The pubis apparently did not touch the process obturatorius of the Ischium which means that the foramen obturatum is not closed but open downwards.
For the femur, the trochanter major at the top is convex and on the inside separated by a groove from the front narrow trochanter minor.
If this placement is correct, the animal is the youngest known iguanodont, and by extension, ornithopod, known from the Southern Hemisphere.
The describers consider it likely that the Elasmaria lived together with the relatively larger Hadrosauroidea, with the two groups belonging in different niches, though hadrosauroids were not found at the site.
Mosineia is a genus of euthycarcinoid arthropods that lived on tidal flats of Laurentia at what is now central Wisconsin from the Middle Cambrian to the Late Cambrian.
Associated trace fossil evidence suggests that this genus spent some of its time subaerially, possibly to mate and to feed on the microbial mats that blanketed the beaches.
Whatever was the animal that produced them held the distinction of being the first animal to emerge from the sea; however, the identity of that animal remained unknown.
The new fossils, found in the late 1900s and early 2000s, thus solved a mystery that had lasted over 150 years.
In 1980, geologist Francisco E. Nullo noticed the presence of sauropod bones on a hillside of the Estancia Alta Vista, south of the Centinela River in the Santa Cruz province of Argentina.
The old site was relocated and new excavations were carried out between 13 and 17 January and 14 to 19 March 2019, and a new site was discovered on the Estancia La Anita.
including six concentrations of bones that could be assigned to the original find, which was now recognized as a new sauropod species.
The large number of authors is a consequence of the fact that the article described the entire fauna in which every expert contributed his part.
The following are preserved: a third cervical vertebra (the MACN-PV 18644 specimen found by Bonaparte in 1981), tail vertebrae, a neck rib, ribs, a left shoulder blade, the ends of a right thigh bone, a right shin, a right calf bone, and a right jaw bone.
It was a hundred meters from the holotype and higher on the slope so that it is probably another individual that is also clearly smaller than the type specimen.
The anterior and middle tail vertebrae have sides and undersides that are eroded by numerous large depressions that do not pierce the bone wall.
At the middle tail vertebrae there is a large trough on the side that is covered from above by the side protrusion.
The lower end of the tibia is flattened from the front to the rear and widened more across than with other titanosaurs.
The cervical vertebra of the holotype is elongated with a length of and rather low with a height of , apart from the broken vertebral arch.
The middle tail whirls are square in side view, have a convex cotyle at the back, a deep longitudinal trough on the underside, numerous but shallower recesses, and short conical side protrusions placed at the middle height.
The delta-detectoral comb is relatively short with the lower edge at a quarter of the shaft length measured from above, a basic characteristic.

The league roster structure evolved from some professional to totally amateur during its existence, becoming a pioneer of what is known today as collegiate summer baseball.
Over 100 future major league players played in the Basin League, among them were Baseball Hall of Fame members Bob Gibson, Jim Palmer and Don Sutton.
Teams in Chamberlain (Chamberlain Chiefs), Mitchell (Mitchell Kernels), Pierre (Pierre Cowboys), Winner (Winner Pheasants), as well as Valentine, Nebraska (Valentine Hearts) were the initial franchises.
In 1958, the league split the season into two halves, with each half winner meeting for the league championship, before reverting back to full season play in 1959.
The Rapid City Chiefs were assigned to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Sturgis Titans were assigned to the Boston Red Sox and the Pierre Cowboys were assigned to the Cleveland Indians.
In 1966, the Basin League amateur talent pool took a hit when the NCAA ruled that NCAA college seniors could no longer play in the league.
To keep their amateur status, most Basin League players received approximately $200-$500 for the summer season, with the pay received for 'odd jobs' in the local communities.
The NCAA had also put restrictions on the league, while at the same time, major league teams were reexamining player development resources.
There were four league teams remaining in the final season in 1973: Chamberlain Mallards, Pierre Cowboys, Rapid City Chiefs and the Sturgis Titans.

The Chemin des Canots River (rivière du Chemin des canots) is a tributary of the Malbaie River, flowing into the unorganized territory of Lac-Pikauba in the Charlevoix Regional County Municipality, in the Capitale-Nationale administrative region, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The Chemin des Canots River crosses the eastern part of the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve; it flows into a river bend on the southwestern bank of the Malbaie River facing the zec des Martres.
The lower and middle parts of the Chemin des Canots River valley are served primarily by R0360 forest road and some other secondary forest roads, for forestry and recreational tourism purposes.
The surface of the Chemin des Canots River is usually frozen from early December to late March, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-December to mid-March.
The middle section of Chemin des Canots River has a series of nine lakes aligned from north to south on between Lac Duquette and Lac Robitaille.
Canoeing can be practiced on this river for about ten kilometers; however, this river segment has only one portage to bypass the rapids between Lake Layrac and Canoe Lake.
The Chemin des Canots River flows on the west bank of the Malbaie River downstream of a river curve and a rapids area.

Although they are not by the same author, the copyist probably intended them to be read together, with the council as a happy epilogue to the unfortunate crusade.
Most scholars accept that he was from the Holy Roman Empire and probably a German speaker from the Rhineland, although Jules Tessier argues that he was more probably an Italian from Lombardy and Cynthia Arthur that he was more probably a Francophone from the County of Hainaut.
As to his occupation, it has been argued both that he was a layman and that he was a secular cleric.
While Michael McCormick, Carl Klimke and Tessier make him a partisan of Marquis Boniface I of Montferrat, Kandel places him in the following of Count Baldwin IX of Flanders and Arthur in that of Henry of Hainaut.
It has been proposed that the author relied for some of his information on the letters sent by Baldwin of Flanders to Pope Innocent after he became emperor, but this is not conclusive.
To Andrea, there is no evidence that the author was close to any of the crusade leaders or their private councils.
The author pays special attention to numbers such as prices and payments and also keeps track of the size of the army by counting fatalities, casualties, leaves and desertions.
The author also shows great interest in contracts, oaths, pledges and treaties, a series of eight of which structures the entire narrative.
The first contracts are the crusading vows and the pledges made by surrogates to go in place of those crusaders who died before setting out.
The compact made by the cities of Lombardy to hurry the armed contingents on their way to the rendezvous in Venice is presented as the first counter-crusade action.
The next major contracts are the oath of allegiance taken by the barons to Boniface (who is referred to throughout simply as the Marquis) and the agreement with Venice, which results in the Siege of Zara.
At Zara, the crusaders enter into a new agreement with Alexios Angelos to place him on the throne of the Byzantine Empire.
As the crusader army and Venetian fleet make their way to Constantinople, the Greeks they pass along the way pledge their allegiance to Alexios.
After the capture of Constantinople, Alexios makes pledges and gives surety to the army in exchange for its continued support as he establishes his rule.
All of Greece is said to have paid homage to the new emperor, but he reneged on his pledge and did not pay the crusaders for their aid.
It mistakenly dates Peter of Capua's preaching tour to 1202, probably because the author as a German was not directly familiar with events in France.
It also places the assault on the harbour wall of Constantinople correctly on 9 April 1204, but incorrectly states that this was during Holy Week.

His work has focused on insects in houses and stored foods, and especially the wintering and cold tolerance of certain arthropods.
Sømme has been on several expeditions to the Antarctic, participated in field trips to Svalbard, and visited various other extreme places on Earth in his research on arthropods and cold tolerance.
In 1962, Sømme spent a year in Canada studying cold tolerance in insects at the Canada Agriculture Research Station in Lethbridge, Alberta.
In 1970, Sømme changed his workplace from the Plant Protection Office to the University of Oslo, where he became a lecturer in entomology.
Since 1977, Sømme has participated in several research expeditions to the Antarctic, where he studied arthropods (mites and springtails) on Bouvet Island and in Queen Maud Land.
It is therefore natural to assume that both the flora and fauna on the island were brought by birds crossing the sea.
Lauritz Sømme has made shorter trips to several places in the world to study arthropods' cold tolerance, including the Atlas Mountains and Mount Kenya in Africa.
He has also spent time on Svalbard since 1988, where he helped determine that some animals can become desiccated in the fall.
When the cold weather comes, they have so little water in their bodies that they survive until the spring without frost damage, and then in the spring the body's fluid content increases again.
In 2006, the board of the Norwegian Entomological Society unanimously recommended that Sømme be appointed an honorary member of the association, which took place at the society's annual meeting on February 13, 2007.
Not least of all, he also wrote a history of Norwegian entomology and published it in a 326-page book when the Norwegian Entomological Society celebrated its centenary in 2004.
It highlights a radical shift in information systems that will be needed to address organizational needs for storing, retrieving, moving and processing exponentially growing data sets.
Traditionally, applications were installed, kept relatively static, updated infrequently, and utilized a fixed set of compute, storage, and networking elements to cope with a relatively small set of structured data.
This approach functioned well for decades, but over the past decade, data growth, particularly unstructured data growth, put new pressures on organizations, information architectures and data center infrastructure.
90% of new data is unstructured and, according to a 2018 report, 59% of organizations manage over 10 billion files and objects spread over large numbers of servers and storage nodes.
Organizations are struggling to cope with exponential data growth while seeking better approaches to extracting insights from that data using services including Big Data analytics and machine learning.
Traditional architectures fail to fully store, retrieve, move and utilize that data because due to limitations of hardware infrastructure as well as application-centric systems design, development, and management.
Data-centric computing is an approach that merges innovative hardware and software to treat data, not applications, as the permanent source of value.
Data-centric computing aims to rethink both hardware and software to extract as much value as possible from existing and new data sources.
To meet the goals of data-centric computing, data center hardware infrastructure will evolve to address massive scale, rapid growth, the need for very high performance data movement, and extensive calculation requirements.

Clarence H. Beecher (October 9, 1877 – November 21, 1959) was an American politician who served as the 25th Mayor of Burlington, Vermont.
His eight vote victory against James E. Burke in 1927 is the smallest margin of victory in any Burlington mayoral race.
On October 9, 1877 Beecher was born to David O. Beecher and Mary E. Waring on a farm in Granville, New York.
In 1900 he graduated from the University of Vermont medical college with highest honors and continued his education in Vienna, Austria in 1910 with internal medicine.
In 1919 he was given the Republican nomination for Ward Two's alderman election and defeated Robet Cannon with 601 votes to 257 votes.
On February 20, 1922 he was renominated by the Republican city committee for alderman and faced no opposition in the election due to the Democratic city committee not selecting a candidate.
On February 16, 1924 he declined to seek reelection and the Republican nomination for Ward Two's alderman was given to Ralph H. Robinson.
On February 2, 1925 he announced that he would seek the Republican nomination for mayor and was given the nomination by unanimity on February 11.
Beecher defeated former Mayor James E. Burke of the Citizens Party and President of the Board of Alderman George L. Edwards of the Nonpartisan League and Democratic Party with 2,429 votes to 1,845 votes and 994 votes.
During his tenure the Burlington City Hall, Memorial Auditorium, Central Fire Station, and the Winooski Bridge were all constructed and he managed recovery in Burlington following the Great Vermont Flood of 1927.
Due to the closeness of the election Burke filed a lawsuit attempting to remove Beecher from office, but the Vermont Supreme Court ruled in Beecher's favor on January 2, 1929 although it decreased his vote total to 3,016.
On March 12, 1934 Beecher was given the Republican nomination for Ward Five alderman with 19 votes against Meader Martin's 3 votes and on March 27, 1934 he narrowly defeated Democratic Oscar H. Heininger by 28 votes for Ward Five's alderman seat with 553 votes to 525 votes in a special election to fill the seat following E. Lloyd Gillett's resignation.
He did not seek reelection in 1935 and was succeeded by Frank J. Hendee after he defeated Meader Martin in the general election.
On January 13, 1953 the Republican city committee gave him the mayoral nomination, but was defeated in a landslide by incumbent Democratic Mayor J. Edward Moran with 5,091 votes to 3,403 votes and he performed worse than Republican aldermen in every ward except in ward one.
During the mayoral race he criticized Moran for his handling of Burlington's new electric generator plant and blamed him for its poor management.
From 1941 to 1945 he served as dean of the University of Vermont's medical college and in 1958 the University of Vermont gave him a honorary degree for a doctorate in science.
On November 11, 1959 Beecher suffered a heart attack and was taken to Mary Fletcher Hospital (now the University of Vermont Medical Center) where he died on November 21.
At the outbreak of World War I, the Imperial Japanese Navy had a total of two modern destroyers capable of overseas deployment: the and .
It was clear that this force would not enable Japan to fulfill its obligations under the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, so the Japanese government pushed through an Emergency Naval Expansion Budget in fiscal 1914 to allow for the construction of ten new destroyers.
Given the speed of construction and the fact that eight different shipyards were used, it is a tribute to the Japanese shipbuilders that all ten sister ships of the Sakaki were uniform in appearance and capabilities, and performed reliably in their overseas deployment to the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea in combat operations in World War I.
The Japanese fleet was nominally independent, but carried out operations under the direction of the Royal Navy command on Malta, primarily in escort operations for transport and troopship convoys and in anti-submarine warfare operations.
The Volkswagen Zwickau-Mosel Plant () is an automobile factory, which was founded on 26 September 1990 in today's Zwickau district of Mosel and together with the Chemnitz plant and the Transparent Factory belongs to Volkswagen Sachsen based in Zwickau.
With the founding of Horch and Audi in 1904 and 1909 respectively, Zwickau became the cradle of the Saxon automobile industry.
Due to the traditions of automotive engineering in the region and because of the skilled workers potential, Volkswagen decided as the first large enterprise of the Federal Republic to build up a completely new work in Saxony and provided for it considerable investments.
Already in the final phase of the GDR the Trabant 1.1 was built in the northern Zwickau suburb of Mosel from 1989 with a four-cylinder four-stroke engine manufactured under VW license.
The production was discontinued in 1991, because parallel to this one had already started on 21 May 1990 in the factory Mosel with the mass production of Volkswagen Polo Mk2.
On 15 February 1991, the production of the Volkswagen Golf Mk2 began parallel to the Polo production, whose successor is still produced today in the Zwickau plant.
In 2010, 1,350 vehicles of the VW model series Golf and Passat left the production lines of the Volkswagen plant every day.
Since 2017, bodies for the Bentley Bentayga and since 2018 bodies for the Lamborghini Urus have been produced at the Zwickau plant.
High-ranking persons from politics and economics appreciated the scientific and technical achievements of the car makers from southwest Saxony in their greetings.
This position puts it in the rain shadow of the Olympic Range, resulting in less precipitation than Mount Olympus and the western Olympics receive.

The National Premier Leagues Women's (NPLW) are regional association football competitions in some states and territories in Australia, which act as the second tier of the sport in the country below the W-League.
The WNPL consists of the highest level state league in a subset of the state-based federations within Australia, and is overseen by Football Federation Australia (FFA) in partnership with participating member federations.
The WNPL is contested by clubs from six member federations; these are ACT, NSW, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia (from 2020).
In October 2010, (FFA) commenced a National Competition Review, its main objective being to review the current structure of soccer competitions in Australia, and to monitor and improve elite player development.
NSW were the first federation to commence a competition, after a review on women's football in NSW in 2013, which looked at staying aligned with the FFA's pathway for women's football program.
Queensland switched to the NPL format in 2015, followed by South Australia and Victoria in 2016, and the ACT (Capital Football) in 2017.
Western Australia is set to become the sixth member federation to restructure womens' competitions under the NPL banner, with the introduction of the National Premier Leagues WA women’s competition in 2020.
The WNPL competitions in each state and territory are run independently by the member federations, with a similar format to the equivalent men's competition - the National Premier Leagues.
Teams may be relegated from the WNPL to a third-tier league in the same state (and vice versa), but there is currently no mechanism for a team to be promoted to the first tier of Australian Football, the W-League.
The table below details the number of teams relegated automatically from the WNPL at the end of the season and the number of NPL teams which go into a relegation playoff against a lower league team.

The Central Yakutian Lowland or Central Yakutian Lowlands (; ), also known as Central Yakut Plain or Vilyuy Lowland, is a low alluvial plain in Siberia, Russia.
It is an extensive plain located in the transition zone between Central and Eastern Siberia and is one of the Great Russian Regions.
The main city is Yakutsk, with a number of settlements near it, but the area of the lowland is largely uninhabited elsewhere.
The Central Yakutian Lowlands extend along the middle basin of the Lena River and partly further downstream and are about in length and wide.
To the northwest the lowland merges with the North Siberian Lowland and to the north it is bound by the watershed fringing the Lena and Olenyok River basins, and to the northeast and east the Central Yakutian Lowland reaches the foothills of the Verkhoyansk Range, westernmost part of the East Siberian Mountains.
There are hundreds of river valleys all across the lowlands, which, besides the Lena, include the lower reaches of the Lena tributaries Vilyuy, Amga and Aldan.
The rivers of the lowland are subject to spring floods during the thaw period and occasional rain floods in the summer.
In the northwest the Tukulan (Тукуланы) sand dunes are relief forms shaped by aeolian processes along the valley of the Lena River.
The climate prevailing in the lowland is continental and harsh, characterized by a very low annual rainfall of barely per year.

Protests started in Valletta and other urban centres of Malta on 20November 2019, predominantly calling for resignations after alleged political links to the assassination of journalist and blogger Daphne Caruana Galizia surfaced following the arrest of businessman Yorgen Fenech.
The protests consisted of demonstrations, marches, sit-ins, and civil disobedience and are unprecedented in Malta's political history since its independence from the United Kingdom.
Constitutional experts, legal bodies, and other representatives stated that Muscat's decision to remain in office until January 2020 and to have a more than six-week Parliamentary recess over Christmas led to the crisis within Maltese institutions.
The Caruana Galizia family, political parties, the European Union mission in Malta, academics, NGOs, civil society, the University of Malta students' union, former advisers, industrial organisations, and organised business and labour unions are calling for his immediate resignation.
Businesses were negatively affected by both the crisis and the protests, while major industrial associations and institutions expressed concern at the impact of the turmoil.
Malta, an island nation of nearly 500,000 citizens, gained its independence from Great Britain in 1964, and its people subsequently declared it a Republic in 1974.
It has largely been viewed as a nation of general geopolitical neutrality (since 1979), but also of extraordinarily impressive democratic voter participation.
Its modern governmental body - a unicameral chamber known as the House of Representatives - is currently predominated by a two-party system, of which the Labour Party, led by Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, holds the majority of seats.
Despite several markers of socioeconomic success, such as its high life expectancy of 81 and its classification as an advanced society according to the IMF and UN (along with 32 other nations worldwide), public perception of Malta's public servants has been marred by allegations of corruption.
This has resulted in a worse Corruption Perceptions Index compared to several other similar small economically-advanced nations like Denmark, Singapore, Luxembourg, New Zealand, and Hong Kong.
In recent years, investigative journalists have increasingly reported on allegations of money laundering, tax evasion via offshore havens (including those connected with the Panama Papers), nepotism, and various other indications of bribery and fraud; journalists are protected pursuant to Malta's Constitutional law on free press and free speech.
An important figure in this movement, Daphne Caruana Galizia garnered international reputation as a resolute critic of political and business malpractice, despite being targeted by several SLAPP suits.
Throughout 2017, she released a series of controversial and sensitive pieces of information that link a number of Maltese politicians to the Panama Papers.
A series of monthly protests and vigils in remembrance of Caruana Galizia were held by civil society organisations on every sixteenth day of the month from October 2017 onward, in addition to ongoing anti-corruption protests and marches.
These demonstrations, in opposition of secretive Panama accounts being opened by Maltese officials, had been consistently and formally organised for years leading up to Caruana Galizia's death.
However, protests in Malta – some of them spontaneous – fundamentally transformed in meaning following her assassination, and evolved and intensified as more information about her murder has surfaced, implicating businessmen and politicians alike.
On 22 October 2017, the Civil Society Network organised a protest demanding justice and calling for the immediate resignation of the Police Commissioner and the Attorney General.
The GUE/NGL Award for Journalists, Whistleblowers & Defenders of the Right to Information was established in 2018 in honor of Caruana Galizia.
As the second anniversary of the assassination approached, Civil Society organised a protest march, with the US Embassy issuing a statement, reiterating its offer to help Maltese investigators.
On 11 November 2019, Muscat's chief of staff, Keith Schembri, dropped a libel case against Simon Busuttil, in order to avoid testifying about 17 Black, a shell company based in Dubai, which had become implicated with the Panama Papers.
This decision was made in defiance of judiciary orders, but Muscat supported Schembri's decision not to testify, stating as justification that: 1) he had already sat down with the Caruana Galizia family to reach an agreement on a public inquiry into the assassination; and 2) such testimony by Schembri could constitute a conflict of interest, or prejudice the investigation into 17 Black.
A Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU) report had identified the owner of 17 Black to be power station investor and Tumas Group CEO Yorgen Fenech, who has a clear link to Muscat and Tourism Minister Konrad Mizzi, through mutual investment into a new gas-fired power station, since 2013 or earlier.
Fenech's ownership of 17 Black was corroborated by banking records acquired by Reuters from sources in the United Arab Emirates familiar with 17 Black.
Fenech denied any connection to Panama companies and even declined to comment about his ownership of 17 Black; Mizzi denied any connection to 17 Black; Muscat and Schembri denied any knowledge of 17 Black's ownership.
On 19 November 2019, Muscat announced that he had written to Melvin Theuma, an alleged middleman in the Caruana Galizia murder case, offering him a pardon in exchange for exhaustive information detailing those involved in the assassination plot, following Theuma's arrest during the previous week (on a separate case).
Early on 20 November 2019, Fenech was intercepted at sea by an Armed Forces of Malta (AFM) patrol boat, while allegedly attempting to flee the country on his private yacht, one day after Theuma's presidential pardon.
Six days later, Schembri resigned from his post as chief of staff, was questioned by police, and was released on police bail.
Fenech first attempted to gain immunity in exchange for information; when immunity was denied, and an indictment filed against him on 30 November 2019, he plead not guilty.
Fenech's defense primarily revolves around accusing Schembri of being the mastermind behind the Caruana Galizia murder, and of even extorting Fenech to frame Christian Cardona as the responsible party for the assassination.
On 20 November, civil society groups led by Repubblika, Occupy Justice, and manueldelia.com, announced a protest in front of the Prime Minister's Office, Auberge de Castille, calling for Muscat's resignation.
In their statement, the groups said that Muscat should have demanded Schembri and Mizzi's resignations when their names first appeared in the 2016 Panama Papers release.
The groups said they did not invite the Nationalist Party, or any other party, for the demonstration, but they would not oppose anyone wanting to join.
At the end of the protest, protestors walked to the makeshift memorial to Caruana Galizia at the foot of the Great Siege Memorial.
At the same time, opposition members of parliament (MPs) walked out of Parliament over Muscat's failure to dismiss Schembri and Mizzi.
Protesters also assembled in the streets around the Parliament buildings, heckling and stopping a number of ministers' cars from leaving the area.
Justice Minister Owen Bonnici's car was targeted by protesters as it left parliament, with the Minister describing how he stood by the Police Force, two of whom sustained minor injuries in the course of doing their duties.
In a statement, Speaker Anġlu Farrugia said steps ought to be taken against those who exceeded limits and manifestly breached the law, including through the use of violence.
Thousands of protestors met in front of the Auberge de Castille, renewing calls for Muscat to resign, saying that justice for Caruana Galizia was being stifled.
Three rows of steel barricades kept protesters away from Parliament, while Muscat was jeered after exiting parliament at the end of Monday evening's parliamentary session.
The protest then moved from outside parliament to Castille Place, where protesters were addressed by Manuel Delia, one of the organisers, and other speakers.
Following the disturbances of 26 November, steel barricades were placed in front of parliament, Auberge de Castille and on Merchants' Street, as police increased security ahead of the day's planned protest.
On the day, both major political parties announced mass meetings for 1 December, with various civil society members and Caruana Galizia family members asking people to stay away from rallies organised by political parties.
The Institute of Maltese Journalists appealed the police to begin issuing press conferences to update journalists and media on developments in the Caruana Galizia case.
In the early hours of the morning on 29 November, after the protest which began in the evening the previous day, unknown security officials clashed with demonstrators and journalists were forcibly kept within the Ambassadors' Hall in Auberge de Castille.
Tensions escalated after the security officials refused to identify themselves to journalists, or tell them why they were not being let out of the building.
University lecturers and students blocked parts of the road around the Msida skatepark in protest on Friday, 29 November, in a protest organised by the Kunsill Studenti Universitarji (KSU).
Protesters began a protest march in Valletta at 6:30 p.m., holding posters and Maltese flags while protesting at the government's handling of the criminal investigation.
After the main protest, a smaller crowd gathered beneath the Great Siege Monument in front of the Daphne memorial where flowers and candles were left in tribute.
Protesters reiterated calls for Muscat to resign following the Caruana Galizia probe, and they were joined in their protest by author and activist Immanuel Mifsud, and Arnold Cassola, amongst other politicians, NGOs, academics and activists.
Close to 20,000 protesters filled Republic Street in Valletta, by far the largest turnout at the time in weeks of protests aimed at Muscat's government.
A protest march started in front of Parliament at 4 p.m. and moved to the square in front of the law courts, where protesters were addressed by activists.
The protest came hours after an emergency meeting of the Labour Party parliamentary group gave Muscat free-reign to decide on his exit.
The crowd was addressed by anthropologist Ranier Fsadni, Eve Borg Bonello, a 16-year-old student, and former Nationalist Party president Mark Anthony Sammut.
Caruana Galizia family members, the Chamber of Advocates, law experts, Moviment Graffitti, and other critics feared that Muscat's insistence on remaining in office was a conflict of interest with investigations into suspects closely associated with him ongoing.
Several plainclothes policemen were seen in strategic positions in Valletta taking pictures and footage of the protesters, some were seen walking with the crowd and taking pictures during the anti-corruption protest.
Police surveillance was contested by a legal association, who stated it will continue to document such cases and to share its analysis with Amnesty International and European counterparts.
Eve Borg Bonello, a 16-year old speaker at the protest, received death threats and insults for her speech during the 1 December protest.
While acknowledging this may have been a well-meaning piece of advice, she returned to the same police station assisted by a lawyer, to file an official police report.
On Monday, 2 December 2019, access to Valletta's Freedom Square was heavily restricted as activists began to gather in front of parliament for the evening protest.
Authorities laid out hundreds of metres of steel barricades in the square in front of parliament in the afternoon, considerably limiting the area in which civil society activists were able to protest.
Protesters threw carrots and eggs – an allusion to the murder suspect Fenech – at MPs including Gozo minister Justyne Caruana.
Protesters blocked all exits from Parliament, trapping MPs for a couple of hours between Ordnance Street and Freedom Square in Valletta.
Protesters taunted the Prime Minister to come out, while Muscat was giving his final speech in parliament ahead of resigning in January 2020.
Unable to exit from the main streets around Parliament, some MPs were forced to escape via tunnels linking Parliament with the Valletta Ditch.
The lights in the ditch were switched off to distract protesters and their aim, with Muscat leaving Parliament from the basement exit.

Justice Minister Bonnici and Muscat were egged on their way to meet the Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) at Castille.
Muscat had claimed to have last met Fenech more than a year ago, but the Prime Minister recently admitted to at least one social meeting in February 2019.
Fenech sent the messages when he was already the prime suspect under investigation, with Muscat being fully briefed by the security services.
Further news revelations indicated how two members of staff from the Office of the Prime Minister were allegedly mentioned in the middleman's testimony, with a former member of Muscat's security detail tried to pass on a message to the men accused of murdering Caruana Galizia.

A vigil marking the 26th month since Caruana Galizia assassination was held in front of the makeshift memorial in Valletta, with the groups restating their commitment to protest until justice was made for Caruana Galizia and corruption removed from Government.
Cremona said activists were being falsely accused of disrespecting the armed forces, the police and a paralympics contingent in 13 December protest.
Constituted bodies and unions issued varied calls, with some asking for Muscat to step down and others prompting a more measured reaction asking for calm and maturity.
He said that these items as well as bags of urine were being thrown by a mob which included two Opposition MPs.
Journalists attending the protest insisted that they saw protesters throw eggs, coins, carrots and (fake) cash at MPs, but not any urine.
Farrugia listed a number of violent incidents during the protest, including the injury of a policemen, threats, damages to official cars, the blocking of official cars by protesters, the throwing of urine bags at MPs, a sit-in protest at the Office of the Prime Minister and the injury of a soldier.
Claims about throwing of urine bags could not be verified by journalists, while Moviment Graffitti insisted the soldier was not injured in its protest, but had stumbled and slipped on a ledge in the hallway.

Adolph Theodore Laundenberg (born 1926), known as The Santa Strangler, is an American serial killer who murdered three women in the San Pedro neighborhood of Los Angeles and one in San Francisco during the 1970s, and is the prime suspect for another two similar murders.
Despite confessing to the killings to two daughters-in-law decades apart, he was only arrested in 2002, after DNA evidence connected him to the crimes.
Adolph Laudenberg was born in Lexington, Kentucky in 1926, to a German immigrant butcher and his wife, who died a few years after his birth.
At some point, he took up whittling unique walking canes, made from salvaged wood and manzanita shrubs, which he would either give away or sell for 10$ on the street.
He then got a job as a security guard at a steel plant, before turning towards being a cab driver in the San Pedro area in the late 1960s.
According to neighbors, the Laudenbergs were an odd fit - Annelle worked at a dance studio, was outgoing and health conscious, while Adolph was a generous, but reclusive man who mostly kept to himself.
Despite their differences, their marriage lasted 30 years before the couple separated, as Annelle, who didn't return her husband's feelings of love, outed herself as a stripper.
Using his job as a cabby, Laudenberg's modus operandi consisted of picking up lonely, alcoholic or ill women who reminded him of his ex-wife, whom he would then bind, rape and strangle, either in Los Angeles or San Francisco.
He was questioned by police during the initial investigations, but denied everything, and since the perpetrator left barely any clues behind, he was let off.
In 1975, Laudenberg confessed to his future daughter-in-law that he had killed four women, three in San Pedro and one in San Francisco, which he called his 'four sins'.
The woman believed his story and told the authorities, and despite their efforts, they couldn't prove the veracity of the claims.
The other officer then swept in and got the cup, from which DNA samples were extracted and sent for testing - they matched seminal fluid found on Lois Petrie's corpse.
The circumstances surrounding how the officers obtained the DNA sample raised some privacy issues, with the policemen arguing that discarded items were considered public property and therefore, no legal permission was required to get a sample.
The appellate court upheld the conviction, rejecting Laudenberg's argument that the expectation was that a restaurant employee should've thrown the cup out.

According to legend, three demi-gods emerged from Samseong, which is said to have been on the northern slopes of Hallasan and became the progenitors of the Jeju people, who founded the Kingdom of Tamna.
Thus, Vovin concludes that Japonic speakers were present on Jeju Island before being replaced by Koreanic speakers sometime before the 15th century.
After the establishment of Tamna, in the first century AD, Tamna people started active trade with China of the Han Dynasty China and Yayoi Japan, South-east-Asian nations, with the Tamil Chola dynasty and the mainland Korea.
However, the kingdom maintained local autonomy until 1404, when Taejong of Joseon placed it under firm central control and brought the Tamna kingdom to an end.
One interesting event that took place during these later years of Tamna was the Sambyeolcho Rebellion, which came to a bloody end on Jeju Island in 1274.
In 1910, Japan annexed Korea, including Jeju, inaugurating a period of hardship and deprivation for the islanders, many of whom were compelled to travel to the mainland or Japan for work.
On April 3, 1948, against a background of an ongoing ideological struggle for control of Korea and a variety of grievances held by islanders against the local authorities, the many communist sympathizers on the island attacked police stations and government offices.
The brutal and often indiscriminate suppression of the leftist rebellion resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of both villagers and communist radicals and the imprisonment of thousands more in internment camps.
In 2006, almost 60 years after the Jeju Uprising, the South Korean government apologized for its role in the killings and promised reparations.
Korean Shamanism is a native religion of Korean Peninsula and Jeju Island, and its teachings are mixed with Confucianism and Buddhism, Jeju Island is also one of the areas in which the Korean Shamanism is still most intact.

They had been so successful in this task that it was recommended that another Independent Highland Company should be set up to help keep the peace in the south.
In 1688, the Privy Council ordered Mackenzie of Suddie and his company to support Mackintosh of Mackintosh in his feud against MacDonald of Keppoch.
He was killed fighting against the MacDonalds in the subsequent Battle of Mulroy in August 1688, and his Independent Highland Company suffered very heavy losses.

In 1914, he succeeded Mãe Hosana (who had succeeded Mãe Luisa), when he was about 60 years old, and devoted himself entirely to the house.
Known for its generosity, she was much sought after by people from various cities of Maranhão, even in case of illness, as there was a garden with medicinal plants in the temple.

Tonteldoos is a village in Limpopo Province, South Africa, southeast of Roossenekal and 20 km northwest of Dullstroom, between the two mountains Steenkampsberg and Mapochsberg.
It is part of the Mapoch (Southern Ndebele people) land seized by poor settlers in 1883 after the Mapoch War against King Nyabêla.
These farms are located above the Transvaal Supergroup, 2.5-billion-year-old rocks, while the western side of the valley is part of the Bushveld Igneous Complex, which is around 2 billion years old.
On the eastern slopes, there is nothing but pure grassveld since it is too cold for trees save for a few stray, stunted shrubs.
At the time, the standard method was to mark a central point, usually the homestead itself, and time horse rides to various points at the edge of the property.
He bought it sight unseen and therefore was unaware that he was buying Mapoch land, which King Nyabêla reported to the magistrate in Lydenburg.
Henrique Shepstone, the British Secretary of Native Affairs, visited with Nyabêla in July 1880 to resolve the situation, and with the failure of these negotiations a Mapoch Commission was appointed.
The First Boer War and the Mapoch War rendered the points moot, and O’Grady would settle the farm in July 1883, albeit elbow to elbow with poor whites both beyond and within Houtenbek’s western fringe.
A clay house was finished in 1894, and the first year recorded him moving 158 cattle, 1,400 sheep, three horses, and 513 goats from the sweetveld to the laeveld in the winter, as was the custom at the time.
At the outbreak of the Second Boer War, O’Grady was too old to fight, but his son Thomas Frederick enlisted in the Boer Commandos.
It was designed by the late Francois Viljoen and patterned off that of the old Tonteldoos school, with the addition of trout and Mapoch lilies.
Sekhukhuneland, for instance, is home to more than fifty species endemic plant species, and includes the northern side of the Tonteldoos Valley.
In the old days, each farm would have several peach trees on it, usually clingstone peaches that ripened with the New Year, prompting a rush to dry and sell them.
Since the road through Tonteldoos from Boomkraal to Pospaal was often muddy in the rainy season, they could easily keep watch for slow-moving customs officials through a system where small boys with mirrors would carry night traffic after the police had gone to bed.
Dednam of Laersdrif set out to end the moonshine industry in the Mapoch area by buying out all the boilers at a high price only to destroy them.
The distillers gave him the money hoping to buy better boilers, but there would only be two quality ones in town by 2000 in Tonteldoos: Coen Swart of Ebenhaezer, Welgelukt, & Zwartdam, who made orange brandy; and Johann Dietlof Kunneke of Kristalwater, who distilled many fruits until the excise team caught him.

He is recorded to have served Pompey during his Sicilian command in 81 BC at the end of Sulla's Second Civil War.
When Pompey sailed to Africa, to fight the remnants of the Cinna-Marian faction under Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus, he put his brother-in-law in command of Sicily.
During the Sertorian War he first served the proconsul Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius who was given the command against the Roman rebel Quintus Sertorius on the Iberian Peninsula.
When Pompey was sent to support Metellus against Sertorius in 76 BC, Memmius was transferred to Pompey's army and served his brother-in-law as a quaestor.
Pompey sent Memmius, accompanied by the able Spaniard Balbus, with a fleet to try and take New Carthage, secure it as a base, and from there move up the coast.
Memmius was immediately blockaded in the city, probably by Sertorius's pirate allies, and was unable to play his part in the campaign.
In 75 BC at the Battle of Saguntum he was killed during the early stages of the battle when Sertorius launched an ad hominem attack at Pompey trying to decapitate the Pompeian army; Pompey survived the attack, Memmius died defending his brother-in-law.

IBM 2245 Kanji Printer () was the line printer of the IBM Kanji System, announced in 1971, that allowed printing of Japanese text on IBM System/360 and System/370 mainframe computers.
Although the computers in Japan, up to that time, used only the alphanumeric characters like in other countries, this prototype allowed processing of more than ten thousand Kanji and other characters that are used in the Japanese language.
The IBM 5924 Kanji Keypunch was an IBM 029 Keypunch (Model T00 with Katakana feature), attached with a specially designed 12-shift Kanji input keyboard.
It allowed punching out IBM cards for more than ten thousand kinds of Japanese characters, using two columns (two punch positions) for each Japanese character, to be fed in the regular IBM card reader for being stored in the computer in two bytes for each Japanese character.
This new technical approach gave the so-called Double-Byte Character Set languages of Japanese, Korean and Chinese languages the ability to be processed by the computer.
The IBM 2245 Kanji Printer was a line printer on the system side that connected to System/360 or System/370 via the multiplexer channel, block multiplexer channel or selector channel.
The printer basically used the dot matrix impact printing mechanism, already employed in the IBM 2560 Multi-Function Card Machine that attached to IBM System/360 Model 20 and later to IBM System/3.
Each Japanese double-byte character was printed on continuous paper with 18x22 dots for horizontal writing or with 18x18 for vertical writing.
The IBM 2245 was developed at IBM Endicott with participation of two or three engineers from IBM Fujisawa, and manufactured in Endicott.
It was marketed as a standard product, whereas the IBM 5924 Kanji punch, developed and manufactured in Fujisawa was a special RPQ product.
This printer would later support Korean and Traditional Chinese languages, with the effort of IBM Korea's and IBM Taiwan's laboratories, in coordination from IBM Fujisawa.
Although the IBM 2245 Kanji Print could be used in a wide range of applications, it was mainly used to print the names and addresses in corporate correspondence, because the printing span (horizontal width) was relatively narrow.
Until that time, the English alphabet and half-width Katakana had been used for computer processing of corporate correspondence, which was quite awkward.
The information of which wire dot to be hit at which point was prepared on the computer side and transmitted to the printer, which made other jobs in the multitasking OS/360-370 to slow down extensively.
The IBM 3800 Model 2 laser printing subsystem, developed by IBM Rochester, in the second batch announcement of IBM Kanji System in 1979, was the successor machine.

The Alpini are a mountain infantry corps of the Italian Army, that distinguished itself in combat during World War I and World War II.
The battalion's name, like the names of all Alpini battalions raised during World War I with first line reservists, was the name of a valley near the active battalion's base; in the Val Brenta battalion's case the Brenta valley, which extends to the north from Bassano.
The Val Brenta battalion's history is intertwined with the history of the 6th Alpini Regiment, with which it served during World War I.

Culture of cosmetic surgery is the attitude towards cosmetic changes via surgery over time, though this attitude depends on the purpose.
WWI left thousands of soldiers with unprecedented levels of facial damage, creating a massive need for reconstruction of facial features, as such Harold Gillies of New Zealand developed and tested methods to restore function and structure to the faces of soldiers and these processes rapidly gained popularity.
As ideas about what was considered beautiful changed, services, products, and techniques were developed to help consumers meet those standards if they so chose.
People may undertake plastic surgery in the modern era due to their mental state and lack of confidence in their own bodies.
Individual's may turn to getting something changed about themselves via surgery because it requires less mental/emotional work and reduces body dysmorphia.
World War I left thousands of soldiers with unprecedented levels of facial damage; trench warfare and progressive weapons lead to massive amounts of death and destruction.
Dr. Harold Gillies of New Zealand developed and tested methods to restore function and structure to the faces of soldiers, such as taking cartilage or skin from an easily concealed part of the patient's body and using it to reform the injured area.
Throughout the 1940s and 50s fashion and personal appearance was emphasized more strongly in the United States; both world wars were over and years in the past, and normalcy was returning to the average American household.
As ideas about what was considered beautiful changed, services, products, and techniques were developed to help consumers meet those standards if they so chose.
Many people who have plastic surgery in today’s era choose to do so because of their mental state and lack of confidence in their own bodies.
Instead of working to accept and love what they look like as they are, millions of people turn to getting something changed about themselves instead because it requires less mental/ emotional work and is readily available.
One example of this is people with eating disorders; a person who has body dysmorphia may try and get surgery in order to feel that they are skinnier than they already are.
The major problem with this is that many eating disorder patients are not overweight, so this surgery will not be helpful to their physical health or appearance.
These patients expect to come out of the operation room looking like a new person, and they believe that they will be able to feel confident in this new body.
This can happen to certain people, but for the majority of people with these diagnoses, the surgery will not be able to change their mindset.
Besides eating disorder patients, a large number of people who choose to undergo plastic surgery are victims of anxiety, depression, or other mental illnesses.
These patients deserve to get mental health treatments because the surgery will most likely not be able to change their mindsets.
Trans folk who choose to have surgery so their physical form aligns more closely with their gender identity often feel more comfortable in their own skin and are able to see their external figure the way they want to see it, giving a marginalized and under-recognized group a significant amount of power back over their own lives.
Burn victims and other patients who have experienced significant facial deformation also benefit psychologically from plastic surgery; victims of an accident or attack commonly feel much of their power has been taken away, and having a plethora of surgical procedures available to them may make the healing process easier.
These procedures are intended to restore normalcy to people who have had traumatic experiences, and help them lead as normal of a life as possible.
Plastic surgery started to become commonly used during the world wars in order to help soldiers and veterans who were injured.
Over the course of the 1900s American beauty standards became more narrow and created a rigid definition of beauty, which made these procedures more common in order to be seen as fitting into the definition of beauty.
Today, many procedure can be done to meet society's definition of beauty and media and research has found the most common procedures sought out each year.
The criteria for medical intervention in contemporary society can be as simple as disliking the appearance of that part of the body; cosmetic surgery is the only medical specialty where the patient decides what is wrong with her and what the course of treatment will be.

The manuscript featured 78 leaves of astronomical tables and text in English; the library's catalog assigned it to Simon Bredon, the astronomer of Merton College.
Throughout the text and in many of the tables the year 1392 occurs, and the text must have been written around this year.
That the manuscript is a holograph is confirmed, according to Price, by heavy corrections and interlineations (in the original hand) that appear to be alterations of style rather than copy edits—as if the original author were polishing their work.
Price's linguistic analysis also suggests that the manuscript has no evidence of any other scribe or author having worked on it.
It is possible that the text is a translation of a now-lost Latin original, but either way, the text is based on an Arabic original.
The ink is brown; there are signs of dampness on the upper edge, especially in the first quire, with some blurring in the fourth quire on the top of the pages.
According to Schmidt, the dampness and the wear and tear on some of the quires is evidence that the quires spent some time unbound.
The text describes the construction of an equatorium, an instrument similar to the astrolabe—but where an astrolabe calculates the positions of the stars, an equatorium does that for the planets, according to the Geocentric model of Ptolemy.
One of them is solid, and is marked with characteristics of the orbits of the various planets: their apogee, their equants, and other centers.
A divided circle around the rims of the two discs allow for the transferral of information from sets of tables (the Alfonsine tables, from a Parisian document) that contain the data for each planet.

Hans Raj Vohra (1909–1985) was an Indian independence revolutionary who became an approver, providing testimony for the British that identified his associates in return for his own freedom.
After the trial, Vohra pursued a career in journalism, first in London, and then subsequently in Lahore and later in Washington.
Against the wishes of his father, Vohra became a trusted colleague and follower of the leading revolutionaries Sukhdev Thapar and Bhagat Singh.
He was subsequently inducted into the Hindustan Socialist Republican Army and became a revolutionary organiser primarily arranging the distribution of leaflets and literature, in Punjab Province in the 1920s.
Towards the end of the 1920s, as a student of the Forman Christian College and a member of the Lahore Student's Union, he became active in the student movement, recruiting to the Naujawan Bharat Sabha.
Vohra came to be in police custody for 17 days following his arrest on 17 December 1928, the same day as the murder of John Saunders, the assistant superintendent mistaken for James Scott.
It was not until the 1980s that Vohra made an attempt to explain why he did not divulge his colleagues details during the first arrest but disclosed all at the second arrest in 1929 after he had been informed that his mentor Sukhdev had already given away all their secrets.
Two other significant approvers were Phoindra Nath Ghosh, whose testimony revolved mainly around the establishment of the Hindustan Socialist Party and Jai Gopal who focused on the murder of Saunders, while it was Vohra's testimony which concentrated on Bhagat Singh's activities.
Following the trial and the request to the British government by his father and acceptance by the Viceroy, Vohra was sponsored by the Punjab government to study at the London School of Economics.

Most of the building work was complete in the middle of the 15th century, the east window arrived in the latter half, and the tower's parapet and spire towards the end.
A major restoration in 1871, costing £1500, replaced the box-pews with the current pews, gave the chancel roof a simple scissorbeam design, and restored the main roof and spire.
This also contains the clock mechanism, which was made in 1826 for West Harling Hall, brought here in 1933, and restored in 2004.

The Apponyi Palace was built in 1761-1762 by Count György Apponyi, a member of the ancient Apponyi family and advisor to the King of Hungary, in place of two older townhouses.
It was acquired in 1867 from the Apponyis by the Bratislava municipality, which subsequently added its arms on the cartouche above the street doorway.
The attic was used for accommodation from the 18th century until the first half of the 19th century (it was common for visitors to coronations and other major events to sleep in the attics of townhouses and palaces of the noble).
The character was introduced as the younger half-sister of Colby Thorne (Tim Franklin) and she received several on-screen mentions as part of his early storylines.
Bella's fictional backstory establishes that she and her mother were taken away by her father Ross Nixon (Justin Rosniak) when she was young.
Miller found herself being able to live out her rebellious side through her, and she uses her qualifications in psychology and rehabilitation counselling to help her portray Bella's feelings.
The character's early storylines dealt with Ross's return, as he kidnaps her and tries to get revenge on Colby, her fears that she is messing up Colby's life, and her rebellious behaviour, which results in a new living situation.
Bella's predator, 25-year-old Tommy O'Reilly (Adam Sollis) attempts to sexually assault her when they meet, but is stopped by Irene Roberts (Lynne McGranger).
She is also diagnosed with tetanus, and she uses her illness to manipulate Colby into spending all his time with her.
Miller learned she had been cast in June 2018, and she had to keep the news to herself until her on-screen debut.
Miller, who was studying psychology at university at the time, did not put much pressure on herself to secure the part.
Miller also said that Bella wants to fit into the Bay, but as she is not sure how, it leads to her vulnerable side coming out.
She explained to Harvey that she uses her knowledge of PTSD and bi-polar to justify Bella's behaviour and what she says and feels.
Miller believed that when Bella plans to get revenge on those that have wronged her or Colby, she thinks it is acceptable because she saw her father do it.
She hoped that viewers would like the new side of Bella, as she just gets to be a teenager for a while.
The character's fictional backstory established that she and her mother were taken away by her father Ross Nixon (Justin Rosniak), leaving behind her half-brother Colby, who began searching for them.
Scenes airing in November 2018 saw Colby gain an address for Ross, shortly after learning that he killed Colby and Bella's mother.
When Colby and his friend Dean Thompson (Patrick O'Connor) eventually track Bella down, her first instinct is to protect herself with a crossbow.
A safety officer was present on set, and the potential for something to go wrong helped Miller and Franklin to bond.
Upon hearing about Ross's criminal history, Bella initially denies it, as she questions how her father, who has protected her, could be that bad.
Bella's arrival causes tension and a break-up between Colby and his fiancée Chelsea Campbell (Ashleigh Brewer), who realises that he lied to her and kidnapped his own sister.
During the show's 2018 season finale, Colby and Chelsea marry, and an armed Ross takes Bella, Chelsea and Willow Harris (Sarah Roberts) hostage.
Bella tries to reason with her father, but soon learns that Ross wants revenge on Colby for taking her away from him.
Ross tries to force Colby into choosing between his wife and his sister, but he runs at him and Bella strikes his arm to force him into dropping the gun, which goes off.
Franklin explained that after Colby witnesses Ross shooting Willow, he believes that Ross will not stop until he has killed everyone Colby loves, so he shoots Ross dead.
Colby initially keeps Ross's death a secret from Bella, but when he learns that she is worried that her father will return, he decides to tell her the truth.
She stows away in the boot of their car as they head to a rally, with the aim of revealing herself once they are far enough away.
Bella hopes the pair will return her to the Bay, so she can reunite Dean with Willow, but Dean calls Colby to collect her instead.
Colby struggles with Bella's rebellious behaviour, and after she lashes out and hurts him during an argument with Dean, he accepts an offer from Irene Roberts (Lynne McGranger) to take her in.
In mid-2019, the show's script writers took inspiration from Carly's Law and used the character to highlight the growing issue of online predators targeting and grooming young Australians.
Bella is introduced to an online student forum by her teacher Roo Stewart (Georgie Parker) and she soon befriends fellow user Tommy (Adam Sollis).
Wanting to add realism to the storyline, Miller watched documentaries about the victims of online predators, so she could learn how they talk about their experiences.
Tommy visits Bella at home, and Miller said that Bella is shocked to see him on her doorstep and she quickly realises that she could be in trouble.
Tommy's jealousy over Bella's friendship with Ryder Jackson (Lukas Radovich) prompts her to panic and she eventually locks herself in the bathroom, hoping that Tommy will leave.
However, when she emerges Tommy grabs her and drags her into a nearby bedroom, where he attempts to sexually assault her.
Miller admitted that she found the scenes difficult to film, and she became scared as she imagined it being a real-life situation.
Tommy pleads with the pair not to call the police, but this causes Irene to recall the abuse she suffered in her childhood.
McGranger praised the show's editors for their work on making the scenes suitable for the early evening timeslot, but leaving the audience with no doubt as to what has happened.
As the storyline progresses, the police discover Tommy's identity and Irene's guilt forces her to go to the police and confess, despite Bella's protests.
Bella faces Tommy in court during Irene's hearing and, as she gives details about her assault, an enraged Colby tries to attack him.
This leads to Bella clashing with Colby's housemate Robbo (Jake Ryan), as he confronts her about her behaviour and how it is affecting Colby.
After listening to a drunken Colby talking about his heartbreak, Bella takes a can of gasoline to Mackenzie's restaurant, Salt, and plans to set the place on fire, but Dean and Willow catch her in time.
However, when Bella claims that she is sick and not well enough to go anywhere, Colby has no choice but to cancel the plans, leading Mackenzie to accuse Bella of faking her illness.
After being rushed to the hospital, Doctor Alex Neilson (Zoe Ventoura) learns that Bella has not been immunised and diagnoses her with tetanus.
Mackenzie risks her own life to try and get help for Bella when she learns what she has done, but the gunman refuse her medical help and Bella's condition deteriorates rapidly.
Miller revealed that she had been approached by a number of parents thanking her for the grooming storyline, which led to their own children talking to them about it.

A Hanukkah film is a genre of film in which the main emphasis is on the celebration of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.
Films in this style traditionally incorporate the religious aspects of Hanukkah, such as lighting the menorah and the story of the Macabees, as well as the cultural aspects of Hanukkah, such as spinning dreidels, or eating traditional foods such as latkes, sufganiyot, or gelt.
Films in this genre are typically similar to comedy and romantic comedy films in content, however some are similar in style to action, drama, and animated films, among other genres.
Hanukkah films are more commonly produced in the United States, however, they are also produced in other countries such as Israel.
Hanukkah films have been compared to Christmas films, as the two holidays are celebrated during a similar time of year, and sometimes have similar storylines.
The relative dearth of Hanukkah films, related to the thousands of Christmas films that have been produced, has been criticized, especially by those in the Jewish community, some of whom have asked for more films in this genre to be produced.
Hanukkah has historically been more commonly portrayed in television, than in film, due to the relative lower financial risk and cost of production as compared to a feature film.
Though the film is not exclusively about Hanukkah, the holiday features prominently in its plot; as the opening scene of the film centers around the holiday.
The film featured other notable actors such as Rob Schneider, Kevin Nealon, Jon Lovitz, and Jackie Titone (who is also Sandler's wife), and has been called the best known and highest profile Hanukkah film, and has been credited with starting the genre.
The film was a box office bomb, grossing only $23.8 million of its $34 million budget; but gained a cult following among those in the Jewish community in the years following its release.
The film opens as the family is celebrating Hanukkah in Shostka, Ukraine in 1885, the Mousekewitzes, a Russian-Jewish family of mice who live with a human family named Moskowitz, are celebrating the holiday and Papa gives his hat to his 5-year-old son, Fievel, and tells him about the United States, a country where there are no cats.
The celebration is interrupted when a battery of Cossacks ride through the village square in an anti-Jewish arson attack and their cats likewise attack the village mice.
Because of this, the Moskowitz home, along with that of the Mousekewitzes, is destroyed, and the film tells the story of Fievel Mousekewitz and his family as they emigrate from the Imperial Russian territory of Ukraine to the United States for freedom.
The film is animated in the style of television holiday specials, and, unlike most mainstream holiday films, centers on Jewish characters during the Hanukkah season, as opposed to the Christian celebration of Christmas.
The film has received a cult following, especially among those in the Jewish community, as it is one of the highest profile and most known Hanukkah films.
The plot concerns a Jewish blaxploitation crime fighter known as the Hebrew Hammer who must save Hanukkah from the evil son of Santa Claus, who wants to destroy Hanukkah and Kwanzaa and make everyone celebrate Christmas.
Inspired by the true story of University of Virginia Cavaliers basketball star Lamont Carr, the film centers on a group of young Jewish basketball players during the Hanukkah season who are determined to find their own Judah Macabee to coach their team and help their team out of a slump.
The film makes numerous references to the miracle of the oil, with the school's electricity staying on even though it was being powered by a gas generator with only enough fuel for one hour instead of the eight hours the game lasted.
The film concludes with Rabbi Lewis (a fictional character in the film) telling the story of Hanukkah and its relation to the basketball game plays over the scene.
Originally she wanted to become a concert singer, but when she heard the then court theatre director at a concert of the commercial association in Göppingen, he invited her to an audition.
She liked it there, but because she felt that her voice needed further training, she took a three-month vacation in the first year and went to Paris to study with Pauline Viardot-Garcia.
She was an excellent coloratura singer, whose technical skill was especially praised, as well as the sparkling light fluid of her passages and fioritura.
The voice, a modulation-capable soprano of considerable size, was characterized by an incredibly sympathetically touching timbre and a fresh, melodious sound.
She has a bachelor's degree, master's degree, and Ph.D. in sociology, from the University of Washington, Vanderbilt University, and University of Michigan respectively.
Architect Hermann V. von Holst designed the building, which has an eclectic style mainly influenced by the Gothic Tudor Revival and Plateresque styles.
Samuel Insull, a former associate of Thomas Edison who developed and controlled much of the Midwestern utilities market, commissioned the building in 1928.
Insull had lived in Libertyville since 1907, and he owned the Libertyville Trust and Savings Bank along with many other banks throughout the Midwest.
In addition to renting the space within it, Insull also intended for the building to highlight the power of electricity and, in turn, the importance of his work to expand it.
The building's initial tenants included Insull's own bank, a Chevrolet dealership, clothing stores, and dentists and small companies in the office space.
A new owner renovated the building in the 1950s, resulting in both the bank's return to the building and new shops opening there.
Another renovation took place in 1982, and the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 8, 1983.
von Holst was known both for his work as an academic architect and for purchasing Frank Lloyd Wright's Chicago practice in 1909 when Wright moved to Europe.
He had designed buildings for Insull and his utility companies for decades, but due to Insull's ensuing bankruptcy, the Public Service Building proved to be the last they would collaborate on.
The Gothic Tudor Revival style is most prominent throughout the building, but it also includes elements of Spanish and Indian architecture.
As the building occupies a corner lot, it has two fronts, which are joined by a corner tower with a cupola.
The stone facade of the bank's original space has a Plateresque design, a Spanish style which von Holst used to convey sturdiness.
While the building initially included a central arcade, it was enclosed during its renovations; the arcade's west entrance, however, still stands, and it features a dome and a Seth Thomas clock.

It will be the first season that the league will implement a city-based, home-and-away format, with teams traveling between the global home venues to play regular season matches, making the OWL the first major esports league to feature such a format.
In the 2019 season, three homestand weekends took place – the Dallas Fuel Homestand Weekend hosted by the Dallas Fuel, the Atlanta Reign Homestand Weekend hosted by the Atlanta Reign, and the Kit Kat Rivalry Weekend hosted by the Los Angeles Valiant – in efforts to test how a completely localized match schedule would work.
Each team will still play 28 matches and will be responsible for the selection and operation of their respective home venues.
In addition to homestands, every team is required to host at least three team events for the community in their respective home cities.
With the large amount of travelling that will take place in the homestand model, the Atlantic and Pacific Divisions were renamed to the Atlantic and Pacific Conferences, and each conference was equally subdivided into two divisions, the Pacific North and South Divisions and the Atlantic East and West Divisions.
The tournament will feature the Atlantic and Pacific Conference leaders as well as the next best two teams, regardless of conference, based on the regular season standings through Week 10.
Four of the teams in the League are based in China where travel restrictions and quarantines from the outbreak have been enacted and will affect teams traveling to China to play homestead matches there.
Two teams, Guangzhou Charge and Shanghai Dragons, have announced relocations of their team and their planned homestand events to South Korea.
In the prior seasons, the winner of each match was determined by a best-of-four map series, with a fifth tiebreaker map, if necessary.
The league announced at BlizzCon that match winners would be determined by a first-to-three map series, similar to that of the 2019 playoffs.
Activision Blizzard senior director of product strategy and business operations Jon Spector noted that due to the elimination of Stage Playoffs, map differential would be less important, as it is not very likely that many teams would have the same regular season record heading into the playoffs.
Similar to previous seasons, should a match still be tied after four maps, a fifth tiebreaker map will be played on a control map.
The banned heroes will be determined and announced to teams for the week following the completion of matches from the prior week.
The hero pool system will only be used in the regular season and will not be enforced during the midseason tournament, the play-in tournament, the season playoffs, and the Grand Finals.
The Midseason Tournament champions will win $500,000, the runners-up will win $250,000, and the third and fourth place teams will earn $150,000.
For the postseason earnings, the Grand Champion team will earn $1.5 million (up from $1.1 million), second place will earn $800,000 (up from $600,000), third place will earn $500,000 (up from $450,000), fourth place will earn $300,000 (down from $350,000), fifth and sixth place will earn $200,000 (down from $300,000), and seventh and eighth place will earn $100,000 (down from $200,000).
Following the conclusion of this deal in January 2020, Activision Blizzard signed a multiyear deal with Google to have all of the company's esports events to exclusive shown through Google's cloud computing platforms, with content preferably served on YouTube.
The season will begin at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in April and May and will end at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in October.
After being omitted from the 2019 calendar Circuit Paul Ricard will return to the series, but instead of being the season opener, the round there will be held in July.
With the addition of Circuit Zolder and Circuit Paul Ricard, the rounds held at the Hungaroring and Hockenheimring were removed from the schedule.

Condon attacked his targets, usually gangsters, financiers, and politicians, wholeheartedly but with a uniquely original style and wit that made almost any paragraph from one of his books instantly recognizable.
In Prizzi's Honor Condon's normal exuberance is somewhat muted because the entire book is narrated through the viewpoints of the semi-literate underworld characters who populate it.
He was asleep, but even in repose his face was as subtly distorted and burnished as that of a giant crown of thorns starfish predator.
All of Condon's books have, to an unknown degree, the names of real people in them as characters, generally very minor or peripheral.
The real-life Heller was a television director in New York City in the 1950s, '60s, and 70s, who initially lived on Long Island and then moved to a house on Rockrimmon Road in Stamford, Connecticut.
In this book Marxie Heller plays a somewhat more important role than usual, being the husband of Charley's future wife, Irene, before being shot to death by Charley in the garage of Irene's Los Angeles home.
But all too soon the lovers' matter-of-fact murdering becomes sick instead of offbeat, while Condon's cheerful non-stop vulgarity shifts from gritty to gross.
And, though intermittently inspired in its low-life linguistics, this rather slow-paced, loose-plotted farce/melodrama succeeds neither as dog-eat-dog black comedy nor as Mafioso thriller/romance.

Supporters of the theory allege physical differences in facial features, bodily dimensions, or behavior between the original and replacement Melania, and changes in President Donald Trump's language in referring to Melania.
An October 13 Facebook post of the theory by an actress named Andrea Wagner Barton quickly gained nearly a hundred thousand shares.
Others noted an image where Melania was accompanied by another woman, appearing to be a Secret Service agent, with a very similar appearance.
On May 14, 2018, Melania reportedly underwent an embolization, which is a minimally invasive procedure that deliberately blocks a blood vessel in order to treat a benign kidney condition.
During this period she was not seen in public for five weeks, while the White House refused for most of that period to comment on her absence at all, spurring further theories.
In one instance, when asked about Melania, Trump told pool reporters that she was watching them from a window, pointing to the window, which was clearly empty.
An alternative theory proposed after the surgery episode was that Melania had had plastic surgery, possibly a facelift or breast enlargement, resulting in different appearance.
Late night talk show host Stephen Colbert has poked fun at the theory by having actress Laura Benanti appear on his show as a Melania impersonator.

This type of priming entails the evaluation of people, ideas, objects, goods, etc., not only based on the physical features of those things, but also on affective context.
Most research and concepts about affective priming derive from the affective priming paradigm, which looks to make judgments of neutral affective targets following positive, neutral, or negative primes.
The main idea of AMP is to measure implicit attitudes, therefore, if the evaluation of the prime stimuli of an object is positive, it is said that the person has a positive attitude toward the object exposed.
The intent of this affective priming paradigm had initially the intent of eliminating the bias created by affective priming research self-reports.
Added to this, it has found that deeper processing of the target being evaluated can significantly hinder the influence of the prime.
On the other hand, deeper processing prime significantly increases the prime’s influence and it is retrieved more easily in subsequent occasions.
Some arguments in favor of a strong relationship between the two argue that these affective priming processes 1) lack intentionality, 2) are highly efficient, 3) have reduced controllability, 4) are triggered at a high speed, especially when there is a motivationally relevant stimulus, and 5) there is reduced awareness of the origin, meaning, and occurrence of the response.
Other factors that contribute to this relationship between affective priming and automatic processing include switching tasks, salience asymmetry, and potentially strategic recoding.
There is much discussion in the world of psychology about the effects of valence and arousal in affect priming, since they both seem to affect it, but there has been little research on which of the two has a greater effect on this type of priming.
For example, one study by Yao, Shu, and Luo asserts that valence has a greater effect, based on their findings regarding the stability of valence-driven priming effects against arousal-driven effects and their information in the semantic system.

The Barha Dynasty, is a dynasty of Arab origin, descending from the 7th Century AD Caliph, Ali, Ali himself was a descendant of Adnan a vassal and contemporary of the famous 7th Century BC Babylonian Emperor Nebuchadnezzar II.
Adnan as an Ishmaelite traced his descent back to Ishmael and therefore the Barha Dynasty traces its ancestry back to the Biblical Prophet Abraham through his eldest son Ishmael.
It is among the largest and oldest royal houses in India and the world, and consists of Abdullah al Wasiti, the founder of the dynasty, and his male-line descendants, who ruled in South Asia from their arrival at the close of the 10th Century until the second half of the 20th Century.
When the abolition of Indian Princely States including the Princely State of Rampur ruled by the Rohilla branch of the Barha Dynasty brought their rule to an end.
However, it is best remembered for its member's role as de facto rulers over most of South Asia at the start of the 18th Century, as well as their general tolerance to their non-Muslim subjects.
The Nawabs of Rampur eliminated communal violence and during the Partition Riots when other rulers such as those of the Sikh States, Alwar and Bharatpur widely believed to have ordered the ethnic cleansing of their Muslim subjects, the Nawab however, strictly forbade his hot-blooded Pashtun nobles from committing reprisal attacks against non-Muslims.
While the powerful Nawab Hussain Ali Khan and Nawab Abdullah Khan abolished poll tax against non-Muslims throughout India, brought the Marathas into the Mughal fold and helped win over Hindu Rajasthani rulers like Ajit Singh of Marwar.
In reference to the twelve townships that members of the dynasty had received as fiefs from Sultan Shibabdudin of Ghor when they first arrived in India.
The dynasty descends in the male line from the fourth Rashidun Caliph, Ali, through his younger son Hussain who married Shahrbanu, herself a daughter of the Sassanian emperor of Persia, Yazdegard III.
One ancestor, Isa bin Zayd, revolted against the Caliph Al Mahdi and was consequently poisoned by that caliph at the age of 45.
Subsequently, the dynasty were heavily persecuted by the Abbasid government, and eventually the founder of the Barha dynasty, Abul Farah Al Wasiti, fled from Madina to Wasit and from there he fled to the Ghaznavid Empire.
His four sons entered into the military service of Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni and received twelve fiefs in Punjab, then a part of the Ghaznavid Empire, as reward for their service.
Thus the dynasty became quickly established as Nobles of the Sword in ancient India, a status they held under several different empires.
When the Chief of the Barha, who was also the Diwan of the empire, was granted the fief of Saharanpur due to his relation with the imperial family.
They also enjoyed particularly prominent positions under the reign of the Sur, eventually defecting during the last days in the reign of Sikander Sur of the Sur Empire, to the Emperor Akbar of the Mughal Empire in the course of the siege of Mankot .
The Barha dynasty maintains the unique status of having been the only dynasty to participate in all three Battles of Panipat, seminal battles which shaped Indian History.
In the Second Battle of Panipat they gained victory under Bairam Khan, and finally in the Third Battle Of Panipat, the sons of Nawab Ali Muhammad Khan Rohilla fought with Ahmed Shah Abidali against the Maratha.
He had four sons, of who the eldest Umar Shahid settled in Jansath, a second son Chaman settled in Chitaura and a third son Hassan settled in Bihari and a fourth Ahmad made his home in Kawal in the pargana of Jansath.
Umar found Jansath already occupied by Jats and Brahmins however during the branch's ascendancy in the later mughal era, the branch extended itself so much that Jansath became detached from the Jauli pargana.
Its also from this branch that the famous Nawab Abdullah Khan I emerged, better known in places like Ajmer as Sayyid Mian.The branch benefited from Aurangzeb's reign and by the time Aurangzeb passed away, the branch had considerable influence with Sayyid Mian's sons Nawab Hussain Ali Khan and Nawab Abdullah Khan II being attached to the future emperor Bahadur Shah.
Nawab Hussain Ali Khan and Nawab Abdullah Khan II also known as the Sayyid Brothers were positioned such that when Bahadur Shah I ascended to the throne with the help of the brothers, he granted the former the government of Patna and the latter the government of Allahbad.
In 1709, Sayyid Ahmad, Sayyid Khan, Sayyid Hussain Khan and Sayyid Ghairat Khan all distinguished themselves in crushing a rebellion of Hindu Princes on the Narbada.
The Tihaanpuris continued to distinguish themselves in Punjab, Gujrat and along the Indus until they reach supremacy and became masters over South Asia.
In 1712, the sons of Sayyid Mian, having found themselves in a dangerous position and distrustful of other ministers at Delhi, took it upon themselves to raise Prince Furrukhsiyar to the throne as Emperor.
During the process the sons of Sayyid Mian distinguished themselves in battle, with Sayyid Nurudin Ali Khan, Najmudin Ali Khan and Saifudin Ali Khan having fought gallantly in the battles of Sarai Alam Chand (Allahbad) and Agra.
Nawab Sayyid Hassan Ali Khan who thereafter became known as Abdullah Khan II, was appointed as Grand Vezier with the title of Qutb al Mulk, while Nawab Sayyid Hussain Ali Khan was appointed as Commander-in-Chief with the title of Amir ul Mammalik.
In the demise of the Sayyid Brothers many other Sayyids of note fell with them, first with the assassination of Hussain Ali Khan and later at the Battle of Hasanpur where Abdullah Khan II was captured.
Descending from Sayyid Chaman who settled in Chitura, this branch gained much influence during the reign of Shah Jahan when Sayyid Jalal become a high ranking Mansabdar and was given possession of Kharwa Jalalpur in the Sardhan pargana of Meerut.
He used his influence at court to help the Raja of Sambalhera to confirm his dignity in the male line to his son, Ram Chand.
Being so pleased with the service rendered to her, she passed on the entirety of her estate to Sayyid Hassan, who was latter confirmed in its possession as the Nawab of Sambelhera.
Sayyid Sher Ali who died without issue, Sayyid Ahmad who was killed fighting Ratan Sen of Chitor and whose descendants settled in Kailawada and another descendant fought under the Emperor Muhammad Shah, Sayyid Tajudin whose son Sayyid Umar founded Kakrauli and colonised the local towns of Rauli Nagla and Bera and the last son Sayyid Salar Auliya who obtained Kaithora in a similar manner to his grandfather.
He had two sons, Sayyid Haider Khan whose descendant Sayyid Shahamat Khan settled in Miranpur and founded the Haider Khan Family and Sayyid Muhammad Khan whose descendants remained in Kaithora and formed the Muhammad Khani family.
They additionaliy held a Jagir of twenty eight villages in Ahmedabad which they gained in return for their service in annihilating their Tihanpuri brethren and which they retained until 1850.
There is a still Mosque in Morna built in the name of the wife of Nawab Hassan Khan, bakshi of Muhammad Shah.
They are descendants of Sayyid Najmudin Hussain, who first settled at Bidauli, and some generations later his descendant Sayyid Fakhrudin moved to Palri in the Jauli pargana.
Members of this branch reached high positions during the reign of Akbar and subsequent Emperors, but none gained the prominence which characterised other branches of the dynasty.
However the head of Bidauli family still served as Nazim to the Nawabs of Oudh while his nephew was a Chakladar.
Having formerly gained employment under the Sur Empire, he defected to the Mughals during the siege of Mankot during which he was with Sikander Sur but later sided with the Emperor Akbar.
In the first year of Akbar's reign he fought in a campaign against Muhammad Shah whose forced were led by Raja Hemu.
In 1557 he took part in the Ajmer campaign and in the year after he took part in the capture of the fort of Jitasaran, along with an expedition against the Bhaduriyas of Hatkanth in Agra.
in 1561 he was granted a Jagir near Delhi and later took part in a campaign with the Amorha Sayyids against the Raja Madhukar of Orcha.

VisitDallas, formerly known as the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau, is a 501(c)(6) contracted by the City of Dallas to market Dallas as a convention and tourist destination.
In January 2019, the Government of Dallas released an audit uncovering evidence of misuse of taxpayer funds, mismanagement, and excessive executive compensation.
In November 2019, IRS Form 13909 was filed against VisitDallas calling for a public investigation by the Internal Revenue Service and Texas Attorney General.
In 2002, it was revealed the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau(DCVB), previous name of VisitDallas, was engaged in questionable spending such as spending money on expensive golf trips, paid excessive salaries, paying for expensive liquor tabs, using limos for travel to and from the airport, and going on regular trips to local strip clubs all paid for by the DCVB.
These revelations led to David Whitney, President, of the DCVB resigning with a $308,000 severance package and Chris Luna, chairman of the bureau's board of directors, stepping down.
On January 4, 2019, the City of Dallas released an audit which demonstrated lax oversight, excessive executive compensation and spending, and its inability to properly track metrics for success after spending $150 million in taxpayer funds.
The audit also highlighted how Phillip Jones, CEO, of VisitDallas didn't follow expense report policies having identified charges which included magazine subscriptions, valet service, and a $543 Tumi backpack.
The audit called into question whether the City would renew its contract which is due to expire on September 30, 2020 with many Council Members issuing calls to end it by then if not sooner.
VisitDallas receives most of its revenue from hotel occupancy tax (HOT) and the Dallas Tourism Public Improvement District (DTPID), hotels in the city with 100 or more rooms averaging $30 million each year.
The audit found it put all of its money into one bank account which is a direct violation of state law.
It was also found that annual payments made to the Convention Center were often late and taken from the Dallas Tourism Public Improvement District (DTPID).
For example, VisitDallas has a spending cap of $180 per night but found Phillip Jones, CEO, of VisitDallas spent $17,069 on 18 hotel stays averaging $950 per night.
It was also found CEO Phillip Jones spent $7,000 on gifts which were not documented in expense reports and that he had preference for using private car services instead of cheaper options like Uber or Lyft.
Since 2014, the CEO of VisitDallas paired overseas and domestic trips on behalf of the city with endurance racing contests in California, Quebec, Norway, England, and France claiming expenses were paid out of his own pocket although financial records cannot validate that claim.
Phillip Jones, CEO, of VisitDallas had an annual salary of $700,000 (an estimated $28,000 every two weeks) making him one of the highest paid tourism executives in the country.
It was later found loans totaling $225,000 were made to Phillip Jones which were not documented on their IRS Form 990.
According to state law, loans may be made by nonprofits to their executives only if they directly or indirectly benefit its mission.
(a) A corporation may lend money to or otherwise assist an employee or officer of the corporation, but not a director, if the loan or assistance may reasonably be expected to directly or indirectly benefit the corporation.” In a statement to The Texas Monitor, it was claimed these loans were for medical treatments for Phillip Jones's son.
It was found the number of employees making over $100,000 between 2016 and 2017, increased from 16 individuals to 30 even though membership fees, collected from local businesses in exchange for promotion, dropped 26%.
Their 2017 IRS Form 990 included a 6% salary increase for CEO Phillip Jones and a $196,703 bonus, 11% increase for Matthew Jones, CFO, with a $128,042 bonus, and a 53% increase for Frank Librio, CMO.
The Internal Revenue Service is charged with enforcing the Federal Private Inurement Prohibition prohibiting a tax-exempt organization’s decision makers—board members, trustees, officers, or key employees—from receiving unreasonable benefits from the nonprofit’s income or assets.
Excessive compensation paid to nonprofit executives is the most common violation of this prohibition leading to hefty fines on the persons involved.
In addition, excessive executive compensation may result in the required return of the excessive amount and penalty taxes imposed on senior executives as well as the board members who approved it.
It was revealed VisitDallas spent approximately $150 million of hotel occupancy taxes and tourism district funds between 2013 and 2017 which it is not able to verify how or how well those dollars were spent.
After the release of the report, VisitDallas defended its action by stating policies were already in place addressing concerns found in the audit.
On February 19, 2019, VisitDallas appeared before the Government Performance and Financial Management Committee of the Dallas City Council to respond to findings uncovered by the audit.
Council Members Scott Griggs and Phillip Kingston motioned for the full council to ask the city manager to sever the contract with VisitDallas although it failed 3-2.
It was also uncovered senior executives attempted to influence the Dallas Mayoral race by using the political arm of the Texas Hotel & Lodging Association to donate $1,000 to Miguel Solis, Albert Black, Jason Villalba, Regina Montoya, and Mike Ablon to bolster opponents of Scott Griggs who was one of the most vocal critics of VisitDallas.
As a part of his severance agreement, Phillip Jones received a $600,000 severance package to be paid in 24 payments of $25,000 each.
He began working as Chief Destination Marketing Officer for the Royal Commission for Al-Ula in Saudi Arabia according to his LinkedIn profile.
At the time, the departure of Matthew Jones was portrayed as a resignation although it was later uncovered he was actually fired therefore not eligible to receive a severance package.
Later that month, the Texas Attorney General ruled in a Freedom of Information Act (United States) that the City of Dallas did have to release all information regarding who on the Dallas City Council used a suite payed for by VisitDallas at the American Airlines Center mostly siding with Matthew Jones in citing it would put them at a competitive disadvantage.
As a result of the release of this list, it was found that Dallas City Council Member Casey Thomas failed to disclose events he attended since 2016 using the VisitDallas suite at the American Airlines Center.
In a rebuttal, VisitDallas stated the suite passes shouldn’t be considered gifts that needing to be reported on financial disclosure forms even though a panel of the city’s Ethics Advisory Commission disagreed allowing the complaint to move forward.
This resulted in a 6 - 1 vote by the Ethics Advisory Commission ruling Dallas City Council Member Casey Thomas violated city code by failing to disclose these tickets but promised to recuse himself from any votes related to VisitDallas.
In September 2019, it was revealed VisitDallas was considering eliminating Board seats occupied by Dallas City Council Members which are appointed by Mayor Eric Johnson (Texas politician).
In October 2019, VisitDallas appeared at a public meeting with the Dallas City Council which at times proved to be highly contentious to discuss corrective actions taken since the release of the audit.
Your boss is the city of Dallas.” Near the end of the meeting, Far North Dallas’ Dallas City Council Member Cara Mendelsohn recommended to city staff to begin preparations to find a new organization to market Dallas, either through a Request for Proposal process or by a limited government corporation similar to VisitHouston.
To placate concerns held by Dallas City Council Members, Interim CEO Sam Coats revealed several sales executives were fired and the Board would be voting on reducing the number of Board Members from 55 to as few as 20.
In November 2019, the Dallas City Council approved an amended agreement with VisitDallas as it enters the final year of its contract with many Council Members publicly acknowledging they did so begrudgingly.
In November 2019, Internal Revenue Service Form 13909 was filed against VisitDallas and forwarded to the Texas Attorney General alleging misuse of taxpayer funds, mismanagement, and excessive executive compensation.
The Texas Attorney General will be seeking evidence of a diversion of charitable assets or gross mismanagement resulting in a significant financial loss or other substantial harm to the charity or the public interest.
However, it has recently been revealed VisitPITTSBURGH had previously faced the same issues of lack of accountability and controversial executive pay packages as VisitDallas has encountered.

Its nearest higher peak is The Citadel, to the southwest, and the dominant mountain in the area, Mount Daniel, rises to the west-northwest.
As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades (Orographic lift).
As a result, the west side of the Cascades experiences high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall.
During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but, due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer.
The Alpine Lakes Wilderness features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite walls spotted with over 700 mountain lakes.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to the various climate differences.
In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
The last glacial retreat in the Alpine Lakes area began about 14,000 years ago and was north of the Canada–US border by 10,000 years ago.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area.
Around the time of the church's founding, Newburgh was a chiefly Protestant city, and had been that way for its nearly 200 year history.
Nearly a year later, a group of Episcopalian men gathered on December 8, 1874 in the parlor of the Newburgh Club.
These men were Daniel T. Rogers, Walter C. Anthony and Thomas Hazard Roe of Newburgh and William James Roe II and Benjamin Franklin Clark, of New Windsor, Roe's uncle.
After several more meetings, they considered the formation of a Reformed Episcopal church in Newburgh and began collecting pledges and amassing support.
Cummings came to Newburgh on August 8, 1875 to preach to an interested crowd at the American Reformed Church, which the founding members had loaned for the morning.
The founders were able to obtain the chapel of the Associate Reformed Church, and the first service was held there by the Rev.
Their membership application was sent to the Standing Committee of the Reformed Episcopal Church that night, organized under the general statute of the State of New York.
It was built in a Gothic style, capable of holding up to 250 people At the very first Easter Sunday service, the Rev.

During the 1920s and 1930s in the Russian Far East, ethnic Chinese underwent forced migration and political repression by the Soviet Communist Party.
These Chinese included both the citizens of the Republic of China and the Soviet citizens who were identified as ethnic Chinese (Китаец).
By the 1940s, Chinese had become almost extinct in the Russian Far East, although there were more than 200 thousands Chinese before the October Revolution in 1921.
As local East Asians were forced to leave, Europeans were also forced to migrate to the Far East from Europe and Siberia, and eventually became dominant in the local population.
Among the East Asian victims of the repression, there were at least 27,558 ethnic Chinese who were directly involved in the migration and repression.
Among all Chinese victims, 3,794 of them were released by the Soviet Government, 3,922 were executed, 17,175 were forced to migrate or banished, and the rest were jailed in various places including Gulags.
On 30 October 2012, two monuments in memory of the victim of ethnic cleansing in the Far East were set up in Moscow and Blagoveshchensk.
On 30 April, Last address decided to set up an inscribed board in memorial of Van Si Syan, a Chinese victim of the Great Purge in the Moscow Office of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
As the October Revolution evoked Russian Civil War, ethnic Chinese were discriminated and repressed against by multiple parties of the war.
According to Chinese diplomatic documents, the dead bodies of Chinese nationals were left in the open air where the White Army had passed, some wound by guns or blades, some frozen to death after being robbed of clothing.
The Red Army was also said to be poorly disciplined, who raped and tortured the Chinese, setting the Chinese houses and goods on fire.
Besides, the allied army randomly searched the belongings of the Chinese workers and if they thought anything was in suspicion, they would regard the workers as communists and kill them without interrogation.
The Soviet Communist Party started to carry out what was called the New Economic Policy after the civil war, which soon attracted Chinese migrants back to the Russian Far East where working forces were lacking.
Although the Soviet Government also migrated 66,202 from Europe to the region, the rising number of Chinese made a tremendous impact on the local economy.
By the late 1920s, the Chinese had controlled more than half commerce places and share of trade in the Far East.
Tension escalated as fake and low-quality goods sold by some Chinese businessmen stereotyped the Chinese as swindlers and thieves among the local Russians.
On 1 June 1930, a small-scale armed conflict broke out between the two races in Leninskiy, Vladivostok initiated with Russian workers' fight against their Chinese managers, which injured 27, 3 among them permanently disabled.
Russians in the region viewed most Chinese new-comers as non-Russian-speakers, misers, renegers and cheaters, while the Chinese regarded the Russians as addicts to violence and brutality, frequent violent threateners, unreasonable people, and fools.

Built in the early 19th century, it is a rare surviving example of an industrial structure built for use in small-scale cottage industry from that period.
The Olney Cook Aartisan Shop stands in a rural residential area of eastern Mendon, on the north side of Hartford Avenue East a short way east of its junction with Bellingham Street.
The front facade has a two-panel garage door and sash windows in the granite basement walls, and three sash windows on the main level.
The area where this shop stands belonged to members of the Cook family, descends of Walter Cook, one of the town's early settlers.
This modest industrial shop was built sometime before 1839, when it is mentioned in a deed transferring the land from Ariel Cook to his son Olney.
Members of the Cook family are known to have engaged in the shoemaking trade in the early 19th century, and Olney Cook is listed in some records as a painter.

Against the Enamel of a Background Rhythmic with Beats and Angles, Tones, and Tints, Portrait of M. Félix Fénéon in 1890 () is an 1890 oil painting by French artist Paul Signac.
The work is a left profile portrait of Fénéon, with his characteristic goatee beard, wearing a brown coat with black suit and white shirt, holding a black top hat and walking cane in his left hand, and delicately a cyclamen flower in the fingers of his outstretched right hand.
The angles of Fénéon's head, arm, elbow, and cane, create a zigzag pattern down the right hand side of the painting, while the curved stem and petals of the flower echo the upward curve of Fénéon's goatee.
Its composition may draw from an 1890 gouache portrait of Signac by Georges Seurat, in which Signac is depicted wearing a top hat and carrying a cane.
The swirling patterns in the background create a kaleidoscopic colour wheel with abstract designs in eight sectors meeting at a central point, contrasting with the foreground figurative portrait of Fénéon and the flower.
The background may have been inspired by a Japanese wood block print of the 1860s, perhaps a kimono pattern, which was in Signac's gallery.
By this time, the free brushstrokes of Impressionism were being succeeded by the more deliberate and scientific approach of Divisionism or Pointillism, championed by Seurat and Signac, painting with small contrasting coloured dots based on an understanding of colour theory with the intention that the pure colours would be combined in the viewer's eye and mind to create a more vivid work.
It was exhibited at the Salon des Indépendents in 1891, but was not well received by most critics, who considered that the background dominated the portrait figure.
Artworks from Fénéon's estate were sold at the Hôtel Drouot in 1947, and funds used by his widow to establish the Prix Fénéon, literary and art prizes.
The painting was part donated to the Museum of Modern Art in New York by Peggy Rockefeller and David Rockefeller in 1991.

CODLAD (COmbined Diesel-eLectric And Diesel) is a naval propulsion system in which an electric motor and a diesel engine act on a single propeller.
The CODLAD propulsion system is based on the use of electric motors directly connected to the axes (generally two) of the propellers.
The electric motors are powered by diesel generators and to have higher speeds, as happens in CODAD propulsion systems, the higher power diesel engine is inserted which is disconnected from the transmission system to return to cruising speed.
This system that uses diesel engines for both propulsion and for the production of electricity for on-board services significantly reduces costs, as the number of diesel engines for the various ship services decreases and the electric motors need less maintenance.
Furthermore, since electric motors can work more effectively in a larger number of revolutions, and being directly connected to the propeller axis, the transmission systems for coupling and decoupling the diesel-electric systems with the diesel engines used to have higher speeds.

A Time to Build: From Family and Community to Congress and the Campus, How Recommitting to Our Institutions Can Revive the American Dream is a book by Yuval Levin published in 2020.
American universities, for example, have had three functions: teaching the great ideas of human civilization, teaching skills that will lead to remunerative employment, and teaching students how to understand the moral demands of a just society.
However, according to Levin, because the faculty and administration are sunk in a malaise of white guilt, they fail to fulfill their duty uphold the academic standards necessary to impart great ideas and teach useful skills.
Similarly, legislators have turned over their duty to shape policy to government agencies while they enact performative careers as social media celebrities.
Institutions, schools, courts, democratic government, that were designed to mold their members according to norms that enabled them to cooperate to achieve goals that are important to society, have been transformed into platforms for would-be star performers, losing their ability to mold members for the accomplishment of socially important ends.
In an amusing riff, Levin points out that every Presidential election cycle now sees candidates who run not because they have a realistic expectation of winning, but simply to build a personal brand, fingering Gary Bauer (2000), Al Sharpton (2004), Mike Huckabee (2008), Ron Paul recurringly, Pete Buttigieg (2020), and Donald Trump (2016).

Such tendencies generally do not prevent a contract or an agreement from being concluded; however, there are reasons to believe that religious affiliations reduce the negotiation process and give more confidence to decision makers.
Researchers have found that religious authorities are reluctant to negotiate what goes against their religious affiliations, even if these tendencies should not be expressed in an important or profitable negotiation.
In other words, for such leaders, the preservation of values is preferred over economic interests, as they are willing to maintain their faith in business ties where religious beliefs are generally ignored or concealed.
An example of this conflict is when one faction insists on excessive transparency in trade restrictions that can be frustrating for the rival party to negotiate.
Such transparency is, of course, an advantage for Muslim leaders, as based on a hadith by Prophet Muhammad, the righteous merchants equal martyrs on the Day of Judgment.
The difference in negotiation from a secular and religious perspective is the purpose of the negotiation and the means employed to achieve the desired outcome.
In this regard, the law and government institutions define the well-being of a society in the interest of the public and strive to achieve this ideal.
From a religious and especially Islamic point of view, the set of political and economic approaches and orientations must have a divine nature, and the aims and means of this set must also conform to divine law, otherwise it will be sanctioned by the sacred law.
In this approach, negotiation is fundamentally different from the way it is perceived in the West, though its structural goals have obvious similarities.
For Islam, the methods used in diplomacy must be humane and in line with human ethics; this is why the system of communication between ethics and diplomacy must be thoroughly scrutinized, and be consistent with the Prophet's political approach in which he has banned immoral and unconventional methods of profiting.
As shown by scholars, although religious beliefs may not have a direct impact on the motivation of negotiators, they can have positive and constructive results for both parties, especially in interactions and social relationships.
International relations experts have also found that the process of negotiating in groups that do not share opinions is longer and more divisive.
It is worth noting that, while religious beliefs can lead to some kind of intimacy between the negotiators, it will impose restrictions on them, if they are confronted with a different religion.
In transactions, what matters to managers is finding a suitable solution to encourage the negotiating team to accept the terms of the contract.
However, in some cases where there is a negotiation between religious and non-religious parties, the difference in strategy causes groups with religious tendencies to take an emotional approach and pay less attention to details.
More detailed research in this area suggests that cultural and linguistic differences between religious groups do not have a significant effect on the quality of negotiations.
The comparisons made between Malaysian Muslims and the Muslims of the Arab world, each of which has its own regional and local culture, show that their negotiations are homogenous in form and do not make much difference in value.
Rev David Meredith BA is a Scottish minister who served as Moderator of the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland in 2010.
He was born in Paisley and was educated at Amochrie Primary School, Campbell HIgh School before moving to Kensaleyre on the Isle of Skye where he completed his education at Portree High School.
He was the grandson of Henry Trigg (Superintendent of Public Works in Western Australia from 1839 to 1851), and the first architect both born and trained in Western Australia.
He gained a theoretical training at this office, and when his articles were completed he went to Sydney to practise for a couple of years.
During his sojourn in the New South Wales capital he had the advantage of seeing some of the best architectural efforts in the Southern Hemisphere.
Facing past creditors and the humiliation of insolvency, Trigg and his family left the state, eventually settling in Henley Beach, South Australia.
Trigg took a prominent part in building up the city of Perth, which upon his return in 1884 had few ornate buildings or large warehouses.
With the advent of prosperity, people who were previously content with very modest edifices grew more particular, and demanded large houses and immense stores.
In every part of the city are monuments of his work; one of his most notable works was the Congregational Church (modern-day Trinity Church) in St Georges Terrace.
Other buildings designed by Trigg include Sandover's, in the Italian style of architecture, the Royal Hotel in French Renaissance, and the Governor Broome Hotel in American Romanesque.
Trigg's practice was not confined to Perth; he designed the Freemasons Hotel in Geraldton, one of the chief adornments of that port at the time.
Many of Trigg's works were designed in the American Romanesque style, including his own Trigg's Chambers at 39-41 Barrack Street, Perth, built 1896.
Trigg designed churches in Leederville and Bunbury, church halls in Claremont and North Fremantle, the Subiaco Hotel, and various business premises, including on Geraldton's Marine Terrace for Edward Wittenoom.
During the Western Australian gold rushes of the 1890s, Trigg made a multitude of Federation-era designs, such as the Rechabite Coffee Palace, the Goldfields Club Hotel, premises for Phineas Seeligson, and workshops for furniture dealer William Zimpel.

Reception to Washington on April 21, 1789, at Trenton on his way to New York to Assume the Duties of the Presidency of the United States is a large-scale oil painting completed in 1930 by American artist N. C. Wyeth of president-elect George Washington at his reception in Trenton, New Jersey during his journey to the 1789 inauguration in New York City.
The First Mechanics National Bank of Trenton commissioned the work in 1927, at a time when Trenton was planning to celebrate the 250th anniversary of its settlement, 1679–1929.
Wyeth thought that George Washington's reception at Trenton on his journey to the first inauguration in New York City was an appropriate subject.
The site was the location of the former City Tavern, where Washington had been for a formal dinner and reception on April 21.
Wells Fargo, subsequent bank to First Mechanics, loaned the painting to Thomas Edison State University in 2013, when the bank moved its branch to another location.
In the center of the painting, George Washington, entering riding on a white horse and holding a tricorner hat, passes under a large decorated arch and is greeted by children holding baskets of flowers and spreading them in his path.
At the top of the arch are two dates: Dec. 26, 1776 (First Battle of Trenton) and Jan. 2, 1777 (Second Battle of Trenton).

During the late 1890s and the early 1900s he became known as the hotel chaplain, attending to the spiritual needs of the transient visitors to the city.
Warren realised that had he talked to her he may have prevented her suicide attempt, and resolved to help others in similar circumstances.
He dedicated the rest of his life to this end and founded a voluntary organisation called Save-a-Life League, believed to be the first in the country.
Warren’s parents were Eliza Ann Brown (1824-1891) and William Warren (1818-1861), who made woodworking planes with his brother, Cyrus Warren, in Hudson, New Hampshire.
However, in 1868 she remarried to a local 75 year old widowed farmer called, Philip Sargent Hart, who died within 5 months.
By about 1870 the family were living in Chester, New Hampshire, where Warren attended Walnut Hill primary school, then Chester Academy and later Pinkerton Academy.
In 1880 he was still living in Chester with his mother and his older brother William, who had become a farmer.
Following this he took up teaching posts in surrounding districts before attending Colgate University, Columbia University and Union Theological Seminary (New York City), graduating 1891.
Later the degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on him by the University of Tennessee and he received a Ph.D. from Temple College, Philadelphia.
While in theological school he assisted in the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, New York, where he was instrumental in starting bible classes, work later continued by John D. Rockefeller Jr..
He was ordained in the Nepperhan Avenue Baptist Church and became pastor of the First Baptist Church, Salem, Massachusetts, and then pastor for several years of the Central Park Baptist Church, New York.
In 1893 he married Adelaide Everett Butler (1870-1956), the daughter of a hardware merchant, who was a member of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church.
The Warrens had three children: Donald, who died in infancy, daughter Beatrice, and Harry Marsh Warren Jr., who eventually took over the management of the Save-a-Life League from his father.
During his work as pastor in the Fifth Avenue and Central Park Baptist churches he came into contact with people who were visiting the city.
He estimated that there could be as many as one hundred thousand per day staying in local hotels, and saw the benefit of offering them access to a pastor.
He held a trial church service in a hotel lobby that was attended by seventy-five people and this encouraged him to continue.
He was able to take this course of action because of a large bequest made to him in the will of Joseph Richardson, who died in 1897.
In addition to holding services he became involved with the spiritual welfare of his transient flock, visiting them in hospitals, asylums, court rooms, prisons and made himself available for weddings and funerals.
One example of this was when Mary Lewis Bollback, and Kress Koyama, tried to find a minister to marry them in New York.
They were continually refused and they were led to believe that this antipathy was based on racial grounds, due to Koyama’s oriental ethnicity.
Warren was approached by the couple and he had no problems with marrying them, although the ceremony was performed in the chapel of a funeral parlour at a few minutes to midnight.
He married young couples that had eloped, even when their parents objected, and it was also rumoured that he passed on stories to newspaper reporters.
The Hotel Association of New York initially cooperated with Warren, and many hotels put notices in their reception with his contact details.
At this time in New York, licenses were not required before a couple could wed, and Warren married people, day or night, often at his home with his wife acting as witness.
In 1907 the Hotel Association abolished the office of Hotel Chaplain and in 1908 an act of law was passed in New York that required all couples to obtain a licence before they could marry.
In 1906 a woman staying in a New York hotel asked the staff to contact Rev Warren so that she could talk to him.
Warren visited her before she died and realised that if had been able to talk to her the suicide attempt could have been prevented.
He put advertisements in newspapers and left his card at hotels urging those who were considering self destruction to contact him.
He contacted police, hospitals, churches and the medical examiner’s office to follow up failed suicide attempts in order to offer support and provide practical assistance.
In the early days he was made aware that some of the data he gathered about suicides from the authorities in New York was not necessarily accurate.
The secretary of the New York’s chief medical examiner, George P LeBrun, explained that suicides were sometimes misreported as accidents, or they were concealed in such a way as to avoid publicity.
The organisation became known as the Save-a-Life League, with a committee of prominent people (including George P LeBrun) plus an office in New York, staffed with volunteer helpers.
Later this organisation was extended to other parts of the United States and renamed the National Save-a-Life League, with representatives in thirty-five cities.
This was 18 Calumet Avenue, Hastings, the former home of the Wuppermann family, who had built their wealth through distributing Angostura bitters.

The atmosphere of Venus is one example of extreme super-rotation; the Venusian atmosphere circles the planet in just four Earth days, much faster than Venus' sidereal day of 243 Earth days.
It is believed that the Earth's thermosphere has a small net super-rotation in excess of the surface rotational velocity, although estimates of the size of the phenomenon vary widely.
Some models suggest that global warming is likely to cause an increase in super-rotation in future, including possible super-rotation of surface winds.

The high degree of complexity of the Celada-Seiden model makes it suitable to simulate different immunological phenomena, e.g., the hypermutation of antibodies, the germinal centre reaction (GCR), immunization, Thymus selection, viral infections, hypersensitivity, etc.
These features are all present in the code and people can choose to turn them on and off at compiling time.
Most of the optimization of the memory usage and I/O has been possible thanks to Bernaschi in particular for what concerns the development of the parallel version.
There are other two computational models developed on the tracks of the Celada-Seiden model which derive (to a certain extent) from the first porting in C-language of IMMSIM.
C-ImmSim has been partially described in a series of publications but never extensively, in part because of the availability of other references for the IMMSIM code which could serve as manuals for C-ImmSim as well, in part because it is impractical to compress a full description of C-ImmSim in a regular paper.
IMMSIM, in the authors' minds, was built around the idea of developing a computerized system to perform experiments similar to the real laboratory in vivo and in vivo experiments; a tool developed and maintained to help biologists to test theories and hypothesis about how the immune system works.
IMMSIM was in part developed keeping an eye on the educational potentialities of these kind of tools, in order to provide to students of biology/immunology courses, a way to play with the immune mechanisms to get a grasp on the fundamental concepts of the cellular and/or molecular interactions in the immune response.
For this purpose, IMMSIM++ was developed for Microsoft Windows® and offers the chance to explore various (but not all) features of the Celada-Seiden model.

The Establishment in Pakistan, which has ruled Pakistan through direct military dictatorship as well as through control over the powerless civilian governments, is responsible for its strategic policy of state sponsorship of terrorism by Pakistan.
FATF, USA, EU, India and many other intergovernmental organisations and nations have described Pakistan as the state sponsor of terrorism, and several former and serving Prime Ministers as well as the top army general have admitted to this fact.
Core principles/values of the Establishment are the policy of treating India as an arch-rival and existential threat, the Kashmir obsession, Islamisation of Pakistan, Punjab as the heartland/core of Pakistan, strategic use of non-state militants and other Islamic states as Pakistan’s natural allies.
and described as epidemic by Human Rights Watch (HRW), forced appearances, extrajudicial killings and targeted killings of its own citizens especially against the civilian nationalists of non-Punjabi nationalities such as Baloch, Sindhi, Pashtun, through direct involvement of military and ISI as well as also often using Islamist militants to undertake these activities.
In July 2011, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan issued a report on illegal disappearances in Balochistan which identified ISI and Frontier Corps as the perpetrators.
The Establishment in Pakistan is responsible for the ongoing forced disappearance in Pakistan, a form of kidnapping, torturing and extra-judicial killing its own citizens without any judicial due process.
After the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, forced disappearance in Pakistan began during the rule of military dictator General Pervez Musharraf (1999 to 2008).
Despite the partition of India, and resulting creation of Pakistan based on the concept of separate islamic nation for domination of muslims, this composite multiculturalism is integral to the present society of India.

The Establishment also engages in the institutionalised persecution of minorities in Pakistan, specially Ahmadiyya, Shias and Hazara after the Islamization of Pakistan by the military dictator General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq who took over the power through military coup.
Pakistan is known for widespread discrimination against religious minorities, with attacks against Christians, Hindus, Ahmadiyya, Shia, Sufi and Sikh communities being widespread.
These attacks are usually blamed on religious extremists but certain laws in the Pakistan Criminal Code and government inaction have only caused these attacks to surge higher.
Sunni militant groups operate with impunity across Pakistan, as law enforcement officials (The Establishment) either turn a blind eye or appear helpless to prevent widespread attacks against religious minorities.
The rise of The Establishment in Pakistan-backed Taliban in Pakistan has been an influential and increasing factor in the persecution of and discrimination against religious minorities in Pakistan, such as Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, and other minorities.
According to scholar Aparna Pande, this view was put forward in various studies by the Pakistani military, particularly in its Staff College, Quetta.

In July 2019, reigning Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan on his official visit to the United States admitted the presence of 30000-40000 armed terrorists in the country and that the previous governments were hiding this truth particularly from the US in the past.
In 2018, former Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif admitted that the Pakistani government played a role in the 2008 Mumbai attack.
Former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf, a military dictator who took over the power by military coup, conceded that his forces trained militant groups to fight India in Indian-administered Kashmir.
He confessed that the government ″turned a blind eye″ because it wanted to force India to enter into negotiations, as well as raise the issue internationally.
He also said Pakistani spies in the Inter-Services Intelligence directorate (ISI) cultivated the Taliban after 2001 because Karzai's government was dominated by non-Pashtuns, who are the country's largest ethnic group, and by officials who were thought to favour India.

The protesters gathered in a mass protest near the European occupation government authority buildings outside of town, and were joined by people from neighboring towns, in numbers variously estimated at more than two hundred thousand or between twenty and thirty thousand people.

The protesters organized a march to Calcutta to present the Governor-General with their demands, but this petered out and they instead presented their petition through more ordinary bureaucratic channels.
The following year, a more limited version of the tax was instituted in three cities, but the assessment and spending of the tax was placed in the hands of Indian representatives.

Drawing upon increased skepticism towards primary sources and a rejection of previous scholarship, in favor of fresh theories of sociology and critical theory, scholars of the Vienna School have introduced the concept of ethnogenesis to deconstruct the ethnicity of Germanic tribes.
The Vienna School has a large publishing output, and has had a major influence on the modern analysis of barbarian ethnicity.
Wenskus revealed that members of the Germanic tribes were not actually related to each other by kin; this was rather a figment of their own imagination.
Drawing upon fresh theories of sociology, scholars of the Vienna School have introduced the concept of ethnogenesis () to deconstruct the ethnicity of Germanic tribes.
Heavily inspired by sociology and critical theory, Pohl insists that the Germanic tribes had no institutions or values of their own, and therefore made no contribution to medieval Europe.
The Vienna School has been contrasted with the even more radical Toronto School, of whom Walter Goffart is a leading member.
While neither of the schools are entirely homogeneous in their approach, discussions between the two schools are characterized by an unusually intense passion and highly polemic dialogue.
Guy Halsall contends that the Vienna School, although explicitly formed to combat Nazi influence in the study of Germanic peoples, has in fact based its theories upon Nazi theories, although this is not explicitly acknowledged by them.
Heather contends that it was the freemen who constituted the backbone of Germanic tribes, and that the ethnic identity of tribes such as the Goths was stable for centuries, being held together by the freemen.
He traces the Fall of the Western Roman Empire to external migration triggered by the Huns in the late 4th century.

The Israelite Seminary of France (French: Le séminaire israélite de France (SIF)) also known as the Central Rabbinical School of France (L'école centrale rabbinique de France), is a Rabbinical school that trains Orthodox rabbis in France.
Founded in Metz in 1829 as the Central Rabbinical School of Metz, it moved to Paris in 1859, where it is based in the city's 5th arrondissement.
The school is connected with the Israelite Central Consistory of France, one of the major bodies of Orthodox Judaism in France.
It was temporarily set up at the Derenbourg-Springer Institution at 10 Rue de Parc-Royal in the 3e arrondissement of Paris, and later at 57 Boulevard Richard-Lenoir in the 11e arrondissement.
The Consistory bought 1500 square meters of land at 9 Rue Vauquelin in the Latin Quarter of the 5e arrondissement, the center of French intellectual life.
The school kept the name Séminaire israélite de France (SIF), while the rabbinical school also became known as the l’École rabbinique de France.
Of the nineteen Chief Rabbis of France (including interim) since the creation of the role, the last nine Chief Rabbis were ordained by the Seminary.

While a violin teacher in Pau, Tayau took part in a charity concert for the destitute in that city, singing for the first time in public with great success.
Alongside Schneider and other company singers he took part in a tour to twenty towns in Ireland, Scotland and England in 1870 organized by the director of the Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin.
Tayau's daughter was the violinist and violin teacher Marie Tayau (1855-1892), who won a first prize at the Conservatoire aged 12, and later had a full career on the concert platform.
She organized popular chamber music concerts at the Trocadéro, and gave the premiere of Fauré's Sonate pour violon et piano no.1 in 1877.
A photo of Tayau as Orphée appears at http://www.offenbach-edition.com/EN/Media/Galerie (included in the CD-rom in their critical edition) as the first one in the fourth row.

The season included all T20I/WT20I cricket series involving ICC Associate members, that were of lesser notability than series covered in International cricket in 2020–21.
The Members of this parent organization who later went to the University of Illinois and the Armour Institute formed local fraternities: Mu Omega Beta at the University of Illinois, and the Sodales Club at Armour Institute.
These were both organized in 1922 and their colleges gave permission, in 1923 and 1924 respectively, to proceed with the formation of a national social college fraternity.
The Junior college group was dropped, and on August 29, 1924, the state of Illinois chartered the Beta Psi national fraternity.
Too small and too young to survive the financial downturn of the Great Depression, it disbanded abruptly in 1934, with members and chapters dispersing that year.
Overall governance was by the Grand Council, an in-person meeting held bi-annually, composed of the council of administrators and two delegates from each chapter.
In between Grand Councils, the council of administrators was composed of the president, secretary, treasurer, and four additional men, which together formed the governing body of the fraternity.
Beta Psi's badge was a equilateral triangle of enameled black, surrounded by a gold border, with the point toward the bottom.
There is a crest shown in the 1927 Cornellian yearbook which was used several times, and appears to be original to the fraternity.
The dispute forced Alpha Sigma Phi to leave the NIC for a period of three years in 1935/36, rejoining in 1938.
None of the other chapters merged with other fraternities, though some individual members were released to join other groups, notably at Cornell and at Middlebury.
It met in Mudgee throughout its existence: first in the courthouse and then the Cudgegong municipal chambers, but later in its own shire offices in Perry Street.
In 1921, it covered an area of 1170 square miles, had a population of between 4000 and 5000, and was responsible for the maintenance of 530 miles of roads.
Kane's Rudy Tambala purchased a London studio and began producing for other artists, and Alex Ayuli moved to California to pursue other interests.
A couple years later, according to Tambala, David Byrne’s Luaka Bop label reached out to the duo and asked if they would be interested in recording a new album.
Tambala noted that he and Ayuli wrote songs separately and then brought them into the studio, which contrasted with how the duo had previously worked and which led to friction between them.
Prior to her birth, her grandfather immigrated to America from England and bought land in Indiana prior to the American Civil War.
However, she earned money through teaching at public schools during World War I and was able to afford tuition at DePauw University for four years.
Upon her arrival at DePauw (DPU), Welch attempted to pursue chemistry but was rejected by William Blanchard based on her gender.
Yuncker encouraged her to pursue graduate school after her undergraduate degree, and she subsequently earned her Master's degree at the University of Illinois studying plant taxonomy and ecology with W. B. McDougall and William Trelease.
By 1928, she earned a PhD from Indiana University, where she stayed as an instructor until being offered a position at DPU as an assistant professor of botany.
Welch was eventually promoted to Chairman of the botany department and earned a grant from the American Philosophical Society to study in Europe for a year.
As a result of her scientific success, Welch became the first female president of the Indiana Academy of Science in 1947.

Keren Yeshoua Synagogue, often written as Keren Yéchoua or Keren Ichoua, is a Jewish synagogue in the Tunisian town of La Marsa, a suburb of Tunis.
The synagogue was founded in 1923 and was named Keren Yéchoua after local philanthropist Yéchoua Sauveur Kisraoui who provided the land for the synagogue building.
This synagogue, over the course of its history, has seen generations of Tunisian Jews pray, celebrate life cycle events, and welcomed numerous rabbis as visitors and scholars.
The synagogue, which serves as the center of the Jewish community in La Marsa, also has a Jewish elementary school on site.
Since the beginning of the 1980s, due to a decrease in the number of congregants, the synagogue closed its doors except for during the summer (July-August), when Jewish tourists visit the area on vacation.
The seat of the local Kommandant was only ten meters from the synagogue in the Hotel Zephyr, and legend has it that the pilot saw the Star of David from the dome of the synagoge and adjusted his trajectory to avoid it.
After liberating Tunisia, Jewish Allied soldiers came to pray in the synagogue, photos of which remain preserved in the synagogue's archives.
In 1994, the synagogue was damaged by severe winter weather, leading to the collapse of the dome and structural danger to the rest of the building.
Those responsible for the synagogue, in collaboration with congregants, saved the building despite calls from the municipality and the larger Tunisian Jewish community to demolish the building..
On the evening of April 11-12, 2002, the synagogue was ransacked, with holy books ripped and burned and other ritual objects damaged.
In 2007, the synagogue building celebrated its 80th anniversary and on this occasion, an association was founded in Sarcelles (in France), to safeguard the building and its use as a place of worship.
It is painted in blue and white, traditional colors for Judaism as well as for the village of Sidi Bou Said, which overlooks La Marsa.
The interior of the synagogue uses a unique circular heikhal (Torah ark) and a wooden Teba (Bimah) carved by famous local Cabinet makers.
It is said that the Bey of Tunis, a patron of the arts who had a vacation home in La Marsa, helped assist in the making of the Teba.
A blessing for the Bey of Tunis and later the President of Tunisia were carved in marble in Hebrew, Arabic, and French.
Rabbi Yomtob Kalfon (1899-1977) served as the spiritual leader, officiating minister and administrator of the synagogue from 1927 until his death.
The Rabbi, a member of the Jewish community of Tunis was known for his Erudition as well as his engagement with the larger community, especially on social action issues (as the head of several local charities).
The rabbi continued the work of Chief Rabbi Haïm Bellaïche at Yechiba Hebrat Atalmud, located in Bellaiche's former home at 4 Rue de Cologne in Tunis.
Rabbi Kalfon twice refused to take the role of Chief Rabbi of Tunisia, letting older Rabbis take the role ahead of himself.
The Rabbi was also known for his good relations with other religious communities, especially the Muslim community, and shared friendships with several Muslim leaders, including imams.
Due to these diverse roles, Rabbi Kalfon became an emblematic figure in Tunisian Judaism and in the life of the La Marsa synagogue.

Ruth Anna Fisher (March 15, 1886 – January 28, 1975) was an American historian, archivist, and teacher who played a major role in collecting sources from British archives for the Carnegie Institution and Library of Congress.
Fisher was born in Lorain, Ohio, the daughter of David C. Fisher, a real estate investor and ice merchant, and Elizabeth Dorsey.
Within a few months, however, she had a falling out with Booker T. Washington over matters of pedagogy and the school's requirement that she be involved in the Sunday School.
After leaving Tuskegee, Fisher taught in the Lorain and Indianapolis, Indiana, schools and at the Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth in Manassas, Virginia, studied at the Canadian Academy of Music in Toronto, and was in charge of the recreational center of a YWCA in New York City.
Her work at the YWCA put her in contact with organizer Eva Del Vakia Bowles, and in the YWCA canteen, contact with soldiers returning from the French World War I battlefields underscored her awareness of the differences between the Black experience in the U.S. and that in Europe.
When a benefactor offered to pay for a year of study abroad, Fisher chose the London School of Economics and made her way there in 1920.
While in London, Fisher met with historian J. Franklin Jameson, who was researching documents connected with American history for the Carnegie Institution.
Jameson was to support her throughout her career, even raising $2,500 so that she could pursue training as an opera singer.
After Jameson's death in 1965, Fisher edited a volume of tributes from his fellow historians and wrote one of the selections.
In 1927, she joined the Library of Congress to supervise the copying of American history materials in British repositories, a project that generated as many as 100,000 pages a year after photographic reproduction became the norm.
The concluding years of her Library of Congress career, from 1952 until her retirement in 1956, were spent in Washington, DC.
Fisher's name appears in the acknowledgements of the publications of contemporary historians, who found invaluable her ability to locate obscure documents.
Of particular note was her finding of the original copy of the secret convention that Toussaint Louverture signed with British general Thomas Maitland (British Army officer) on August 31, 1798, lifting the British blockade on Saint-Domingue in exchange for a promise that Louverture would not export the Haitian Revolution to the British colony of Jamaica.
And all of these groups want to make their opinions the predominant and powerful ones in their respective countries and the world with all else subservient to them.
She retained strong connections to her friends in the U.K. and contributed some of the impressions from their letters to Du Bois' new journal Phylon.
Although her chief impact was as a researcher rather than an organizer or activist, Fisher had a keen awareness of racial issues from an early age and was connected with many of those working for civil rights and for opportunities for Black Americans.
Fisher also was active in the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History and spoke at its 1941 meeting in Columbus, Ohio.
And this discontent and dissatisfaction growing over the whole world has arisen because the ordinary man and woman is no longer willing to starve, nor to work to build up riches for her country and nation unless he is given his rightful share of those riches.

Its students were drawn from across the country, including mulatto children of Southern planters and black children from across the country.
Its goal was to provide a good and broad education for children who had little access to educational opportunities and prepare them for a college education.
Gilmore paid for the building, and other expenses such as maintenance were paid through donations, school tuition from some of the students, and revenue from music concerts conducted in the state as well as in the state of New York and Canada.
Where families had money, they put their children in private schools so that there children had an education without overcrowded classrooms, overworked and underqualified teachers, and short school terms.
Property owners were paying a school tax, but that money was not going towards public school education for African-Americans, and the population of children was increasing such that private schools could not meet their demands.

Mount Cruiser is a 6,104 ft (1,860 meter) mountain summit located in the Olympic Mountains, in Mason County of Washington state.
Cruiser has two sub-peaks, Alpha (6040 ft/1841 m), and Beta (5920 ft/1804 m), the latter of which lies on the Olympic National Park boundary.
The Olympic Mountains are composed of obducted clastic wedge material and oceanic crust, primarily Eocene sandstone, turbidite, and basaltic oceanic crust.
As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Olympic Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall (Orographic lift).
During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but, due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer.
Zotiraciclib (TG02) is a potent oral kinase inhibitor for the treatment of cancer that crosses the blood brain barrier and acts by depleting Myc through the inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9).
It is one of a number of CDK inhibitors under investigation; others targeting CDK9 for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia include alvocidib and atuveciclib.
Zotiraciclib has been granted orphan drug designation by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of gliomas.
, zotiraciclib is being evaluated by Adastra Pharmaceuticals in two separate Phase 1b clinical trials for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
The first Phase 1b clinical trial of zotiraciclib in GBM, sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), is a multi-arm, dose-finding study examining zotiraciclib plus dose-dense or metronomic temozolomide (TMZ) in adults with recurrent anaplastic astrocytoma and GBM.
The second Phase 1b trial of zotiraciclib is being conducted by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) and is designed as a three-parallel cohort, open-labeled, non-randomized, multicenter study in elderly patients with IDH1R132H-non mutant and MGMT promoter-unmethylated anaplastic astrocytoma or glioblastoma.

On 27 January 1945, Auschwitz concentration camp—a Nazi concentration camp where more than a million people were murdered—was liberated by the Red Army during the Vistula–Oder Offensive.
Between 1940 and 1945, about 1.3 million people (mostly Jews) were deported to Auschwitz by Nazi Germany; 1.1 million were murdered.
In January 1945, after the Red Army launched the Vistula–Oder Offensive and approached the camp, almost 60,000 prisoners were forced to leave on a death march westward.
Inmates were marched to Loslau and Gleiwitz, where they were forced into Holocaust trains and transported to concentration camps in Germany.
However, the liberation of the camp was not a specific goal of the Red Army and happened as a consequence of their advance westward across Poland.
The Red Army had already liberated concentration camps in the Baltic area in early- to mid-1944, and other concentration camps continued to be liberated until the German surrender in May 1945.
Two hundred and thirty-one Red Army soldiers died in the fighting around Monowitz concentration camp, Birkenau, and Auschwitz I, as well as the towns of Oświęcim and Brzezinka.
At Monowitz camp, there were about 800 survivors and the camp was liberated also on 27 January by the Soviet 60th Army, part of the 1st Ukrainian Front.
I read about the Nazis' treatment of Jews in various leaflets, but there was nothing about the Nazis' treatment of women, children, and old men.

In late 1966, the South Kane-Kendall Broadcasting Corporation was one of two applicants for channel 60 at Aurora; it won the station in 1968, initially proposing an educational-commercial hybrid schedule featuring credit courses from Waubonsee Community College.
Investors in South Kane-Kendall included Roy Raymond, owner of a plastics company, and Ray Sherwood, general manager of Aurora radio station WMRO-FM.
The station also won the favor of city councilmembers, who voted down a proposed cable system for Aurora largely because they feared it would harm the planned local station.
The cost of building the station was less than expected because South Kane-Kendall was able to get deals on used equipment, including a transmitter from WCET in Cincinnati.
In a market with multiple independent stations already, its program offerings included movies, a program featuring a cartoonist, children's shows, and other local fare.
Briefly in December and January, WLXT cut back its programming to a bare minimum of live news and a movie while work was carried out to add new color equipment at a cost of over $150,000; by this time, South Kane-Kendall had hired Simpson Productions to manage channel 60.
After the upgrade was complete, WLXT broadcast from 3:30 to 11 p.m. on weekdays and 5 to 11 p.m. on weekends.

The separation of military and police roles is the principle by which the military and police perform clearly differentiated duties and do not interfere with each other's areas of discipline.
Military and police differ, sometimes fundamentally, in areas such as source of authority, training in use of force, training in investigation and prosecution, and training in enforcing laws and ensuring civil liberties.
Military personnel on the other hand, are trained to defend the national territory from foreign military threats and are equipped with weapons designed to kill the enemy, rather than to stun or disable.
The presence of a heavily-armed military standing in for the police may reassure anxious citizens, but is at best partial and short-term.
In the United States, the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act limits (but does not absolutely forbid) the powers of the federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies.
There are instances of the military being called into action (such as during national emergencies caused by natural disasters) and efficiently saving lives and restoring order.
On the other hand, there have also been instances where the use of military in a domestic role has gone wrong.
I am even more firmly opposed to any relaxation of the Posse Comitatus restrictions on the use of the military to search, seize and arrest.

Pedro Henrique de Bragança e Ligne de Sousa Tavares Mascarenhas da Silva (19 January 1718 - Granja de Alpriate, 26 June 1761), 1st was a Portuguese aristocrat, visionary and intellectualist of the 18th century who served as a magistrate in the role of Regent of Justice in the courts of King D. and D. .
This fact is closely related to being one of the strongest pretenders to the hand of the future Queen D. , as well as the other uncle of D. Maria I - legitimate descendant of D. John V, D. .
D. Pedro Henrique de Bragança was the first born son of and D. Luísa Antonia Casimira de Sousa Nassau e Ligne.
The then Secretary of State, Diogo de Mendonça Corte-Real, declared that in this act His Majesty King D. João V made D. Pedro Henrique de Bragança Duke of Lafões.
D. Pedro Henrique de Bragança would be found countless times in his Library during his youth deeply interested in Philosophy and Geography in particular, although the Duke had a privileged education in all aspects of knowledge.
Being fluent in European languages and also in the main Asian languages, he was also a scholar in sacred and profane history, both national and from other kingdoms.
D. Peter was a man of a profoundly religious character, and the first place he visited when he arrived from his trips to his farms and villas outside the capital was the Confessionary.
Although the Duke never married, he maintained a loving relationship with Luisa Clara of Portugal, the Myrtle Flower, which was not looked kindly upon by King D. João V. Eventually, after the intervention of Friar Gaspar da Encarnação, the King, godfather, and uncle to the Duke consented on the relationship, the which Ana de Bragança was born.
Pedro Henrique de Bragança being one of the main candidates to the hand of D. Maria I - together with Prince Peter III of Portugal - all his vision for the rebuilding of the Palacio do Grilo was always linked to somewhat of a dream-like realm, a certain architectural fantasy of an oneiric kingdom, made partly real.
However, D. Pedro became fatally ill a few months after the massive 1755 Lisbon earthquake, presumably due to his tireless efforts to rebuild the city, having been regularly seen carrying shovels, hoes, and lifeless bodies.
D. Pedro was gravely ill for 4 years before dying in 1761, spending the last year exiled from the court of King Joseph I at his Quinta de Alpriate.
The exile resulted as the royal punishment for D. Pedro de Bragança setting out all the candles in the Palace on the occasion of the marriage between King Peter III and Queen Mary I as they rode by within the royal chariot.

Located at 143 Barrack Street in the city's central business district, it has also been known as City Loans Office, and more recently Toastspace.
The building at 143 Barrack Street was purpose-built in 1894 for Phineas Seeligson, a pawnbroker and prominent member of the local Jewish community.
He had, since at least the previous year, been operating from 201-03 Murray Street, and was one of only two pawnbrokers listed in Perth.
A clause in the will stipulated that his trustees were not to sell the property for 30 years, as Seeligson was convinced it would increase in value and be of greater benefit to his specified charitable causes.
Jones ran the pawnbroking shop with his brother-in-law Ernest Dyson until 1930, during which time Dyson and his family lived in a residence above the shop.
Over the following 30 years, various businesses were located in the building's shop, initially the Chinese restaurant Cafe Nanking – one of the first on Perth – which opened on 22 November 1930.
By 2008, the building had been mostly unused for approximate 50 years, apart from the ground-floor shop, where a hairdresser was located.
Peter Rossdeutcher bought the building, and undertook conservation works which were awarded a Certificate of Merit in the City of Perth's 2014 biennial Heritage Awards.
The Toastfaced Grillah cafe moved into the rear of the property, accessed via Grand Lane, and became such a popular venue that the whole building was named Toastspace.
, the front shop was still the hairdresser, and the rest of the building was used as a space for meetings, a filming venue and studio for bands, and shared office space.
The building at 143 Barrack Street, on the west side of the street, is a three storey tuck-pointed brick building, situated amongst single and two storey buildings from the same era.
The front of the building has a suspended metal lined awning, which replaced the original two-storey verandah in the mid-20th century.
A timber staircase in the centre of the building provides access from the ground floor to the upper levels; a second one at the rear gives access to the basement.
The Trianon de Porcelaine (French for Porcelain Trianon) was a short-lived structure constructed near the Palace of Versailles, and is considered to be the first Chinoiserie building in Europe It was built in 1670 on the former site of the village of Trianon which Louis XIV of France had acquired in the 1660s to enlarge the grounds of his expanding palace.
The structure comprised five wood-framed pavilions, decorated with blue and white ceramic tiles, and surrounded by formal gardens with extravagant displays of perfumed flowers.
The Trianon de Porcelaine was demolished in 1687 and replaced by the more permanent Grand Trianon, which was constructed from stone and so is sometimes known as the Trianon de Marbre (Marble Trianon).
As Louis XIV developed the former hunting lodge at Versailles into a royal palace, he also expanded its gardens and grounds, acquiring the land around Trianon between 1662 and 1665.
He had the rural buildings of the village removed, and a new building was designed for the king by his architect, Louis Le Vau, with the construction was completed by Le Vau's assistant François d'Orbay.
The new structure comprised five wood-framed pavilions decorated with blue and white ceramic tiles, in what was considered to be a Chinese style, emulating accounts that had been received of the Porcelain Tower of Nanjing.
In the absence of a European source of true porcelain, the tiles were made of tin-glazed earthenware produced by potteries in the Netherlands and France, mostly decorated with blue glazes but also including some with green or yellow.
The structure was used as a banqueting house, and as a meeting place for Louis XIV and his mistress Madame de Montespan from 1671.
Other guest and service functions were relegated to the other four pavilions, two large and two small, arranged around two oval courtyards.
A parterre behind the central pavilion contained fountains and flowerbeds, using an innovative system of flowers buried in pots which could be replaced very quickly, allowing fresh flowers grown in hothouses to be put out at any time including the middle of winter, and enabling the decorative scheme of perfumed and exotic flowers to be changed during the course of a single day.
A south facing slope was planted with fragrant orange trees, which were protected by temporary greenhouses in the winter, overlooking the north end of the Grand Canal, which had been constructed between 1668 and 1671.
The collection of flowers at the north end of the Grand Canal's transverse arm balanced the collection of animals in the royal menagerie at the south end, completed in 1664.
Louis XIV's new mistress, Madame de Maintenon, disliked the building, and the exterior decorative tiles were becoming cracked and badly weathered, so he ordered the demolition of the Trianon de Porcelaine and replacement by a more permanent structure, designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart.
Few traces of the Trianon de Porcelaine survive, save for the layout of its garden, some vases, some painted wall panels, and some furniture attributed to the cabinetmaker Pierre Golle, including a writing table held by the Getty Museum.

In 2012, Heil launched her YouTube channel, where she posted vlogs and covers of songs made popular by Ukrainian and international musicians, such as Twenty One Pilots, Okean Elzy, The Hardkiss, and Kodaline.
Okean Elzy frontman Svyatoslav Vakarchuk frequently republished Heil's covers of songs by the band and cited his approval of her versions.
In 2017, Heil signed a recording contract with Ukrainian record label Vidlik Records, known for its association with Ukrainian musical group Onuka.
She advanced from the initial audition in front of the judges to the bootcamp phase of the competition, where she was eliminated.
The track quickly gained momentum, when Ukrainian singers such as NK and Vera Brezhneva complimented and further distributed the song's snippet.
Following the success of the song, Heil began pursuing songwriting, where she wrote songs for musicians including Brezhneva and the Kiev-based band Cloudless, with Ukrainian songwriter and producer Konstantin Meladze.
In January 2020, Heil was announced to be competing in Vidbir 2020, the Ukrainian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam.
The company then insisted that all Universal Music Group songs included on Heil's channel must be removed and demanded a fine of several thousand Ukrainian hryvnias for violating copyright laws.
In a meeting between representatives from both companies, they negotiated a deal where Heil's fines were substantially lowered, and an agreement was reached regarding how many copyright infringements Heil had committed.

She is known to have worn it on only two occasions: on 4 July 1892, during the ceremony at Necessidades Palace in which she was presented with the Golden Rose, conferred to her by Pope Leo XIII; and on 21 March 1899, during a gala reception at the Palace of Ajuda to celebrate her son Luís Filipe, Prince Royal's 12th birthday.
In 2018, as it was showing evident signs of deterioration (several tears, the silver embroidery had oxidised, the rose-coloured velvet had taken on a brownish tinge), it underwent restoration.
The necessary 6 thousand euros were donated by the Versailles Foundation, having been secured by the personal commitment of Duarte Pio, Duke of Braganza, Queen Amélie's godson.
It is made of rose-coloured velvet with a satin lining in the same colour, and decorated with delicate silver embroidery in phytomorphic motifs all around; the edge is trimmed with satin frills.

The present church of Santa Cristina and its adjacent monastery were erected at the site of some ruined building and a 10th-century parish church of San Siro.
This marked the eastern limit of Parma, and was the name attached to the gate of the town leading to Reggio.
With the patronage of the Duchess Margherita Aldobrandini, widow of Ranuccio I Farnese, in a bull dated 22 January 1629, the Pope Urban VIII Barberini entrusted the complex to the Theatine order.
In 1649 the Theatines utilized a design which one of its members, Pietro Caracciolo, had developed for the church of San Vincenzo in Piacenza.
The building has three naves divided by pillars with Ionic capitals, with four chapels on each side in front of each of which opens a hemispherical dome.
The interior was frescoed by the figure painter and Theatine Filippo Maria Galletti and quadratura by and other painting by Alessandro Baratta.
In the side walls, on the sides of the windows that illuminate the central nave, are the figures of the apostles and evangelists and below, on the sides of the arches, those of the prophets .
The choir was added to the central door in 1720, with the organ built in 1764 by Antonio Poncini Negri, damaged in the bombings of 1944 and restored in 1983 by the Tamburini company from Asciano.

Based and incorporated in Stamford, CT, USA, the company was founded in 2017 by award-winning entrepreneur and Columbia University graduate, Lovens Gjed, and targets members of the Haitian Diaspora looking to invest directly in Haiti.
MEnvesti currently only monitors an eponym online crowdfunding platform which connects lenders in the Haitian diaspora to development projects in Haiti.
Lovens Gjed started MEnvesti in 2017 while a junior student at Columbia University School of General Studies as an effort to leverage annual remittance inflows to Haiti.
Remittances in countries like Haiti tend to be more stable than other types of external capital flows, such as private investment or Development aid.
Every year the Haitian diaspora sends more than 3 billions of dollars back to Haiti, accounting for more than 30% of the country’s annual gross domestic product.
Most of the remittances are used by recipients in Haiti to buy imported consumer goods and therefore the money is not being invested back into the country.
MEnvesti's signature crowdfunding model allows any member of the Haitian diaspora to lend as little as $10 to different development projects in Haiti while loan repayments are issued to a family member or friend of the lender’s choice also in Haiti.
Established on 15 June 2009, it was the first disc golf course in Austria and the 3,000th course to be added to the PDGA Course Directory.
William F. Rose (September 16, 1909– May 29, 1972) was an American illustrator and film poster artist active in the 1930s and 1940s.
He is recognized as one of the most distinctive poster artists of the Classical Hollywood era, a time when most film posters featured painted illustrations rather than photography.
He studied at the University of Pittsburgh and the Carnegie Institute College of Fine Arts (now called the Carnegie Mellon University College of Fine Arts), receiving his B.A.
Rose was a member of the New York-based professional Society of Illustrators, which featured his artwork in its 1945 and 1946 annual exhibitions.
He produced paperback book cover art for such publishers as Avon, Cardinal Edition, Dell, Permabooks, Pocket Books, Pyramid Books, and Ace Books.
Working in the 1930s and 1940s, he painted most of his posters at the peak of the studio system era of Classical Hollywood cinema.
Rose is considered one of the rare poster artists of the period whose individual style has achieved recognition, alongside others like Al Hirschfeld, Alberto Vargas, and Reynold Brown.
Rose became a pioneer of noir's visual conventions in his illustrations for Hollywood film noir posters, as well as cover art for literary works of noir fiction.
Critics have observed that Rose was sometimes inclined to illustrate in a style directly contrary to the film's actual genre or themes, a method that resulted in bold, memorable imagery.
Rose died at age 62 in New York City on May 29, 1972, survived by his sister, his daughters, and a grandchild.
While he was known to have contributed poster art to Paramount Pictures, none of his illustrations for the studio have been attributed.
His family moved to Durban, South Africa in 1900, completing his education and serving as an architectural apprentice at a local firm between 1915 and 1921.
Returning to Durban shortly thereafter, he lived and worked as both an artist and architect until his death from pneumonia at the age of 33 on 30 April 1930.
On his return to Durban, between 1925 and 1930 he rose to prominence, becoming Vice-President of the Natal Society of Arts (NSA).
Cunningham's research interests include biophotonics, bionanophotonics, micro/nanofabrication processes & materials, Bio-MEMS, lab-on-a-chip, microfluidics, biosensing, and applications in drug discovery, health diagnostics, mobile point-of-use detection systems, life science research, environmental monitoring, animal health, and food safety.
Cunningham is most known for his invention and application of nanostructured photonic surfaces that efficiently couple electromagnetic energy into biological analytes, enabling high signal-to-noise sensing of materials that include small molecules, nucleic acids, proteins, virus particles, cells, and tissues.
Cunningham is a Fellow of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, American Association for the Advancement of Science, National Academy of Inventors, The Optical Society, and American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.
His work has been recognized through the IEEE Sensors Council Technical Achievement Award (2010) the Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) Technical Achievement Award (2014), and the IEEE Sensors Council Distinguished Lectureship (2013), and the IEEE Photonics Society Distinguished Lectureship (2018-2019).
From 1990-1991, he was a postdoctorate scientist at Sandia National Laboratory in the compound semiconductor research group, where he contributed to the development of epitaxial crystal growth methods for InAsSb strained layer superlattices for infrared photodiode sensor applications.
Cunningham worked at the Research Division of Raytheon from 1991 to 1995, where he was the Group Leader for Infrared Sensors Fabrication.
In 1995, he joined Micromachined Sensors Group at the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory as a senior member of the technical staff, where he later served in management roles that included Group Leader for MEMS Sensors, and Technical Director for Bioengineering Programs.
In June 2000 founded SRU Biosystems, a company that commercialized Photonic Crystal (PC) biosensors, detection instruments, and assays for applications in drug discovery and diagnostics.
Cunningham joined the faculty of the ECE Department at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2004 as an Associate Professor, where he established the Nanosensors Group at the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory (MNTL).
At Illinois, Cunningham served as the Director of the NSF-funded Center for Innovative Instrumentation Technology (CiiT), and served among the initial faculty to join the newly-formed Bioengineering Department, where he was the founding Director of the Bioengineering Graduate Program.
In addition to leading his own research group, Cunningham serves as the PI of the Omics Nanotechnology for Cancer Precision Medicine (ONC-PM) Theme at the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology (IGB), where he leads a team for the development of liquid biopsy approaches to cancer diagnostics in collaboration with clinicians at Mayo Clinic.
In the late 1980's, Cunningham became the first researcher to demonstrate heavy p-type doping in a compound semiconductor (GaAs and InGaAs) using carbon impurities, including the first to utilize MOCVD epitaxial growth and a carbon halide gas source.
Cunningham was also the first to demonstrate the effectiveness of dielectric-based optically resonant surfaces for enhancement of fluorescence and surface-enhanced Raman reporters, particularly through intentional design of multiple resonances into the same structure for simultaneously enhancing the excitation of optical reporters and the extraction of photons.
He was the first to demonstrate the use of photonic crystal optical resonators for label-free detection of small molecules, nucleic acids, proteins, viruses, and cells, including the development of the first roll-to-roll manufacturing process for any optical biosensor, the first optical biosensor microplates, and a family of high throughput detection instruments for high throughput drug screening and diagnostics.
This paper represented the first publication for the application of photonic crystal biosensors in microplate format for pharmaceutical discovery applications that showed the first methods for detecting small molecule binding to proteins, cell interactions with drugs, and screening modulators for protein interactions.
He was the first to demonstrate the combined effects of enhanced excitation and enhanced directional extraction from photon emitters (quantum dots, fluorophores, SERS tags) on a photonic crystal surface.
Cunningham's work on photonic crystal microscopy in the early 2010s demonstrated a new form of microscopy that utilizes a photonic crystal slab as the surface, and applied it for the first time for label-free kinetic imaging of live cells, and high signal-noise detection of dielectric or metallic nanoparticles.
In 2013, he wrote the paper, 'Label-free biodetection using a smartphone'.This paper represented the first instance of adapting a smartphone camera to function as a spectrometer for measuring a biological assay.
Using a novel concept for coupling electromagnetic energy from the macro scale into plasmonic nanoantennas, the Cunningham group was the first to report a new form of biosensor microscopy (Photonic Resonator Absorption Microscopy) and couple it to novel biochemistry approaches for ultrasensitive, single-step, amplification-free detection of proteins or nucleic acid targets with a simple/inexpensive instrument.
The 2016 Cyrus the Great Revolt were Iranian protests that took place at the Tomb of Cyrus the Great on Cyrus the Great Day.
The protests took place on Cyrus the Great Day at the tomb of Cyrus the Great as a celebration of Persia’s pre-Islamic history.
The Iranian government responded by jailing the event organizers and protesters as well as banning Cyrus the Great Day celebrations in subsequent years.
The protests were caused by pre-Islamic Nationalism and admiration for the fallen monarchy that previously ruled Iran and discontent for Iran's Islamic rule.
Many chants praised the former Pahlavi dynasty with many protesting in support of Iran's past monarchy that was overthrown by the 1979 Revolution.
Iranians have been banned from celebrating Cyrus the Great Day at Pasargadae, the site of Cyrus the Great’s tomb, despite thousands of Iranians returning in following years.
In years after the 2016 event crowds of Iranians have attempted to go back to rally at the tomb for Cyrus the Great Day, however state police and Iran's Revolutionary guard blocked all paths to the ancient tomb.
Riddick Bowe had lost his previous fight on November 6, 1993 to Evander Holyfield for the WBA and IBF heavyweight titles.
With his one-year reign as champion over, Bowe's first comeback fight was announced the following month to take place on February 5, 1994 against Francois Botha.
However, only a month later, Bowe, while training for the fight, suffered a cut above his left eye that required 10 stitches leading to the bout to be officially cancelled.
Instead, it was announced that Bowe would meet undefeated prospect Buster Mathis, Jr. on June 11, however this fight was also cancelled when Bowe suffered a back injury.
A July 15 date was then announced for the Bowe–Mathis fight, however for the third time in the year, Bowe had to again cancel a fight as he was still suffering from back issues.
The fight was finally confirmed for August 13 after medication and working with fitness guru Mackie Shilstone helped Bowe recover from his injury.
With around a minute left in the round, Bowe hurt Mathis with a series of power punches, causing Mathis to take a knee in order to take a break.
However, just after Mathis took the knee, Bowe landed a strong right hook that briefly knocked Mathis unconscious, feeling that Mathis was in no shape to continue after the foul, referee Arthur Mercante Sr. immediately stopped the fight, though no decision was announced.
Mercante and New Jersey State Athletic Control Board head Larry Hazzard would then have discussion in regards to whether the decision should be a disqualification victory for Mathis, a knockout victory for Bowe, if they should go to the judges scorecards and award whomever was ahead a victory by technical decision or declare the fight either a technical draw or no contest.
Bowe apologized for the foul stating that he could not tell that Mathis, who used a crouching stance and was five inches shorter than Bowe, had taken a knee.

Overall, the text promotes asceticism – earthly desires are sinful and life is but a short period to prepare for the eternal life.
People, both dead and alive, are as real as devils and angels and can interact with each other and visit earth, heaven, and hell.
It is an example of Baroque literature and as such features complex style (extensive use of various figures of speech, including comparisons, contrasts, antithesis, metaphors, hyperboles, paradoxs, etc.).
The language blends Lithuanian with numerous Latin quotes from the Bible (which are then paraphrased in Lithuanian) and numerous loanwords and barbarisms mainly from Polish, but also other Slavic languages and German.
Such macaronic language was likely impressive and astonishing to the poorly educated average reader, and was common in other Baroque literature.
About half of the lexicon are loanwords and barbarisms, or about 27% if disregarding Latin words and loanwords that are still widely used in standard Lithuanian.
In total, seventeen editions are known from 1753, 1759, 1764, 1766, 1777, 1779, 1785, 1789, 1793, 1795, 1799, 1806, 1811, 1824, 1846, 1847, and 1851.
Zigmas Zinkevičius cited it as the best example of the decline of the printed Lithuanian under the pressure of Polonization in the 18th century.
Researcher Mikas Vaicekauskas proposed to reconsider the book as a valuable example of late Baroque literature which reflected worldview, culture, and language of the era.
Each day has three texts – about the Bible, Mary, mother of Jesus, and various saints with scenes and examples from their lives.
It is a 16-page (octavo) booklet in honor of Aleksander Andrzej Rymowicz (Aleksandras Andrius Rymavičius) who became the new superior of the Canons Regular of the Penitence and who supported Olszewski's works and helped with their publication.
The book was commissioned by Philip VI of Valois and his wife, Blanche de Navarre, for Jeanne de Navarre, Queen of Navarre.

He is best known for his work in organizing anti-Marcos campaigns during the first quarter storm and the early days of Martial law under Ferdinand Marcos.
He was killed for the anti-Marcos cause while doing community work among the indigenous Tingguian people of Sallapadan, Abra in 1974, and was honored in 2001 by having his name inscribed on the Wall of the Remembrance at the Philippines' Bantayog ng mga Bayani (Monument of Heroes), which honors the martyrs and heroes who fought the dictatorship.
Palabay was born in San Fernando, La Union - the eighth of nine children of Francisco F. Palabay and Felicidad F. Ducusin.
La Union is a predominantly Ilocano province, so the Palabay siblings grew up in a community with strong ethnic and regionalistic loyalties to Ferdinand Marcos, whose home province of Ilocos Norte is also part of the Ilocos region.
He took his elementary school studies at the San Fernando Community School in his home city, and then went to high school at the La Union High School (now the La Union National High School, LUNHS).
Through occasional news reports, he and his elder brother Romulo began becoming aware of the abuses of the Marcos regime, which led to them having regular discussions at their house with friends after school.
Palabay became more involved in political activism when he was accepted into the Bachelor of Science degree program in Economics at the University of the Philippines Diliman.
He was particularly keen on activist drama - helping to organize and present street plays, leading in the singing of protest songs and the recitation of poetry in an effort to build awareness of the injustices inherent to Philippine society under the Marcos regime.
After the political turbulence of 1970 and 1971 - which saw the FQS Protests, the Diliman Commune, the Plaza Miranda Bombing and the suspension of the writ - the Palabay Brothers decided to take a break from their studies and go back home to San Fernando.
There they enrolled in a local college where they continued efforts to build awareness of the abuses of the Marcos dictatorship.
The Palabay brothers were in La Union when Ferdinand Marcos announced on February 23, 1972 that he had placed the Philippines under Martial Law.
Soon after the announcement of Martial Law, Armando and Romulo Palabay were both picked up by Marcos forces, and detained for half a year at Camp Olivas in Pampanga where they were both subjected to torture.
He left the campus, and began to do countryside organizing among the indigenous Itneg and Tinggian peoples of southern Abra province.
Palabay learned the Tinggian language and studied herbal medicine and acupuncture so that he would be able to offer services to the community.
Earning a reputation for his sense of humor, he also began learning about farming in an effort to better understand the daily difficulties faced by peasant farmers.
A year after Palabay began living among the Tinggians, he and a group of fellow activists had an encounter with the paramilitary troops called the Civilian Home Defense Forces.
In 2001, Palabay was honored by having his name engraved on the wall of remembrance at the Bantayog ng mga Bayani, which honors martyrs and heroes from all political leanings and walks of life, as long as they fought against the Marcos dictatorship.
He was honored that year alongside activists Manuel Bautista, Jennifer Cariño, and Jessica Sales, as well as businessman Jaime V. Ongpin, and historian Renato Constantino.

Toth v. Quarles, 350 US 11 (1955), was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that expanded the rights of citizens to civilian trials, holding that an ex-serviceman cannot be court-martialed for crimes alleged during his military service.
The United States Air Force alleged that the petitioner, Robert W. Toth, committed a murder while he was on active duty in Korea.
They argued that while they knew about the murder while Toth was in the armed forces, they didn't know the identity of the man who did it so Toth was honorably discharged.
Donald A. Quarles, at the time the Secretary of the Air Force, argued that as the crimes occurred during Toth's military service, the military could constitutionally try him.
The case mostly dealt with the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), a 1950 law passed by the 81st United States Congress and signed by President Harry S. Truman, and whether or not certain provisions of it were constitutional; that is to say, whether or not Congress could deprive ex-service members of their Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights.
Justice Stanley F. Reed on the other hand, argued that the solution to the question should have come from Congress amending the UCMJ and not via a Court order.

If I were God (original title: Vore jag Gud or Om jag vore gud) is a poem written by Astrid Lindgren.
In the poem, Astrid Lindgren writes that if she were God, she would weep over the human beings, about their cruelty, despair, fear, torment, etc.
In particular, she would weep for the children, since she never wanted things to be for them like they are now.
She would cry floods of tears in which all her poor humans could drown, because then it would finally be quiet.
When she heard about the bad things that humans were doing, it was difficult for her to believe in the good in them.
She also described the tragic fate of refugee children in Sweden who were exposed to the hatred of the population and were not wanted in Sweden.
They were deported back to their home countries with their families, even though they were only looking for a safe home.
Among other things, she wrote to politicians such as Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev and campaigned for peace in war countries or contributed the foreword to the book Jag drömmer om Fred (1994), published by UNICEF, in which painted pictures of refugee children were published.
Margareta Strömstedt adds that the despair about the state of the world sometimes made Astrid Lindgren loose hope and cost her sleepless nights.
Birgit Dankert writes that the poem proves that both Astrid Lindgren's childhood and her melancholy can be seen as the part where her creativity comes from.
Lindgren explained that the adult in her knew that God or paradise did not exist, at the same time the child in her would not accept this knowledge.
According to Diersch, Jahn and Schaak next to the evil deeds of human beings also the good characteristics of humans were mentioned.
The suffering in the world finally becomes immeasurable when the author thinks about the children and their suffering caused by adults.
He won the Montabaur Challenger tournament in 1989 and qualified for the main draw of two ATP Tour events, the German Open and at Buzios, both in 1992.

Syrian intervention in the Lebanese Civil War refers to military involvement of the Syrian Arab Army and other military and intelligence structures of the Ba'athist Syrian Arab Republic in the Lebanese Civil War.
The involvement initiated in 1976, one year after the breakout of the Lebanese War, as Syrian military began supporting Maronite militias against the Palestinian Liberation Organization and leftist militias.
On 22 January 1976, Syrian President Hafez al-Assad brokered a truce between the two sides, while covertly beginning to move Syrian troops into Lebanon under the guise of the Palestine Liberation Army in order to bring the PLO back under Syrian influence and prevent the disintegration of Lebanon.
Days later, Assad sent a message to the United States asking them not to interfere if he were to send troops into Lebanon.
On 8 May 1976, Elias Sarkis, who was supported by Syria, defeated Frangieh in a presidential election held by the Lebanese Parliament.
This technically put Syria on the same side as Israel, as Israel had already begun to supply Maronite forces with arms, tanks, and military advisers in May 1976.
On 19 October 1976, the Battle of Aishiya took place, when a combined force of PLO and a Communist militia attacked Aishiya, an isolated Maronite village in a mostly Muslim area.
The Artillery Corps of the Israel Defense Forces fired 24 shells (66 kilograms of TNT each) from US-made 175-millimeter field artillery units at the attackers, repelling their first attempt.
This gave Syria a mandate to keep 40,000 troops in Lebanon as the bulk of an Arab Deterrent Force charged with disentangling the combatants and restoring calm.
Other Arab nations were also part of the ADF, but they lost interest relatively soon, and Syria was again left in sole control, now with the ADF as a diplomatic shield against international criticism.
The Civil War was officially paused at this point, and an uneasy quiet settled over Beirut and most of the rest of Lebanon.
In the south, however, the climate began to deteriorate as a consequence of the gradual return of PLO combatants, who had been required to vacate central Lebanon under the terms of the Riyadh Accords.
It was fought between the allied Christian Lebanese Front militias, under the command of the Kataeb Party's President Bachir Gemayel, and the Syrian troops of the Arab Deterrent Force (ADF).
The opposing key players were on the one side, the Lebanese Forces or LF (Arabic: القوات اللبنانية) aided by Zahlawi townspeople, and on the other side, the Syrian Armed Forces, then part of the peace-keeping Arab Deterrent Force or ADF (Arabic: قوات الردع العربية), aided by some Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) factions.
Given Zahle's close proximity to the Bekaa Valley, the Syrian Armed Forces feared a potential alliance between Israel and the LF in Zahle.
This potential alliance would not only threaten the Syrian military presence in the Bekaa valley, but was regarded as a national security threat from the Syrians' point of view, given the close proximity between Zahle and the Beirut-Damascus highway.
Consequently, as a clamp-down strategy, the Syrian forces controlled the major roads leading in and out of the city and fortified the entire Valley.
From April to June 1981, throughout the four-month period, a handful of LF members, aided by Zahlawi Local Resistance, confronted the Syrian war machine and defended the city from Syrian intrusion and potential invasion.
In the Battle of Jezzine, Israeli forces consisting of two tank battalions supported by a reconnaissance company and engineering platoon took Jezzine in a fierce daylong battle against a Syrian battalion, then repulsed a fierce counterattack by dozens of Syrian commandos during the night in combat that lasted until dawn.
In an effort to establish air superiority and greater freedom of action, the Israeli Air Force launched Operation Mole Cricket 19 on 9 June.
During the course of the operation, the Israeli Air Force scored a dramatic victory over the Syrians, shooting down 29 Syrian planes and also destroying 17 Syrian anti-aircraft missile batteries, employing electronic warfare methods to confuse and jam the Syrian radars.
Later that night, an Israeli air attack destroyed a Syrian armored brigade moving south from Baalbek, and the IAF attacked and destroyed six more Syrian SAM batteries the following day.
In the center, Israeli forces were ambushed by the Syrians as they approached Ain Zhalta, and were pinned down by Syrian forces firing from superior positions.
After Ain Zhalta fell, the Israelis advanced to the town of Ain Dara, which overlooked the Beirut-Damascus highway, and captured the heights overlooking the town.
Along the road to Ain Dara, the Israelis encountered Syrian tank and commando units, and found themselves bogged down as the Syrians took advantage of the terrain.
The Israelis called in air support, and Israeli attack helicopters that took advantage of ravines to fly in low beneath their targets to gain an element of surprise proved particularly effective against Syrian tanks.
Syrian infantrymen armed with anti-tank weapons staged ambushes against Israeli tanks, and Syrian Gazelle helicopters armed with HOT missiles proved effective against Israeli armor.
An Israeli armored battalion then probed past Joub Jannine to the town of Sultan Yacoub, and was ambushed by Syrian forces lying in wait.
In the Battle of Sultan Yacoub, the Israelis fought fiercely to extricate themselves, and called in reinforcements and artillery fire to cover the withdrawal.
In addition, another major air battle erupted in which the Israeli Air Force shot down 25 Syrian jets and 4 helicopters.
To the west, as IDF troops mopped up remaining resistance in Tyre and Sidon, the Israeli advance on Beirut continued, and Syrian tank and commando units were then deployed south of Beirut to reinforce the PLO.
When the Israelis reached the Beirut suburb of Kafr Sill, they met a joint Syrian-PLO force for the first time, and fought a difficult battle to take it.
On 11 June 1982, Israel and Syria announced that they had agreed to a cease-fire at noon, which would not include the PLO.
Just before the cease-fire was to take effect, the Syrians moved a column of T-72 tanks so as to position it against Israeli forces in the valley.
As the Israeli advance halted, the Israelis turned their attention to the zone they already occupied in southern Lebanon, and began a policy to root out any PLO remnants.
On 13 June, less than twelve hours after the Israeli-PLO ceasefire had gone into effect, it fell apart, and heavy fighting erupted around Khalde.
As the fighting raged, an IDF armored unit struck northeast, attempting to bypass Khalde and advance on Baabda, which overlooked the airport and could be used as another staging point to cut the Beirut-Damascus highway.
Syrian units in Beirut and three commando battalions armed with anti-tank weaponry took up defensive positions southwest of the airport to block any Israeli attempt to capture it.
The Israelis attempted to flank these defenses by moving off the road past Shuweifat, up a narrow, steep, and winding road towards Baabda, but were ambushed by a Syrian commando battalion.
The Israelis advanced relentlessly, and after fourteen hours of fierce combat that raged up through Ain Aanoub and Souq el-Gharb, they broke through the Syrian positions and entered Baabda.
On 15 June, Israel offered free passage to all Syrian forces in Beirut if they would withdraw from the city to the Bekaa Valley in the east, but the Syrian government refused and sent further reinforcements to its units along the highway and north of the highway near Beirut.
However, between 16 June and 22 June, the fighting was limited to artillery duels and minor firefights between Israeli and Syrian forces, as both sides reinforced their troops.
On 13 October 1990, Syria launched a major operation involving its army, air force (for the first time since Zahle's siege in 1981) and Lebanese allies (mainly the Lebanese Army led by General Émile Lahoud) against Aoun's stronghold around the presidential palace, where hundreds of Aoun supporters were killed.
William Harris claims that the Syrian operation could not take place until Syria had reached an agreement with the United States, that in exchange for support against the Iraqi government of Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War, it would convince Israel not to attack Syrian aircraft approaching Beirut.
On 22 January 1976, Syrian President Hafez al-Assad brokered a truce between the two sides, while covertly beginning to move Syrian troops into Lebanon under the guise of the Palestine Liberation Army in order to bring the PLO back under Syrian influence and prevent the disintegration of Lebanon.

Art Nouveau glass art is a type of finely-made, undulating, sinuous and colorful art objects, usually inspired by natural forms, in the Art Nouveau style, It most prominently appeared in the 1890s in the work of the American Louis Comfort Tiffany, Rene Lalique, Emile Gallé and the Daum brothers in France, Christopher Dresser in Scotland, and Friedrich Zitzman, Karl Koepping and Max Ritter von Spaun in Germany.
It was usually made by hand, and was usually colored with metal oxides while in a molten state in a furnace.
Art Nouveau glass was in large part due to technical innovations that allowed glass to have more and better color, to more lustrous, and to have more unusual forms.
Some of these techniques had been used for centuries, but Art Nouveau glass artists greatly expanded the ways they could be used.
He made study trips to London and Paris, where he discovered Japanese art and decoration, which he applied to his glass.
He inherited the family firm in 1884, and produced a remarkable series of glass objects, using techniques of engraving glass borrowed from Chinese art glass, and methods of layering plaques of glass.
He presented his Art Nouveau works with success at the Paris Universal Exposition of 1900, and was a founder of the Ecole de Nancy, bridging together architect, glass and furniture designers.
The glassmaker Jean Daum emigrated to France in 1878 and started his own studio, Daum Glass, which was inherited by his two sons, Antonin Daum and his brother Auguste Daum.
Their method was to produce objects in series, as well as one-of-a-kind items, and they adapted well to the new technology of electric light bulbs.
The vases and lamps usually had very simple designs taken from plants or vegetables, with monochrome or richly varied colors of many different layers of glass within the lamp.
Beginning in 1895 he made pieces for the shop of Samuel Bing, the Maison de l'Art Nouveau, which gave Art Nouveau its name.
He met the perfume creator François Coty and in 1908 He pioneered in the design of perfume bottles, small glass symbols of modernity, which became a new genre of glass art.
His father was a famous New York jeweler, and he studied painting in New York and Paris before opening a firm of interior decoration in New York in 1897.
He founded the Tiffany Glass Company in 1885, which became the Tiffany Studio after 1900, and opened his own glass factory on Long Island in 1892.
In the early 1890s, working with Arthur Nash, an English glassmaker from Stourbridge England, he invented a method for blending different colors of glass in a molten state in a furnace.
They also treated glass with various metallic oxides and exposed it to acid fumes achieve more brilliant lustre and light effects.
Tiffany marketed his early Art Nouveau works at the gallery of Samuel Bing in Paris, which gave Art Nouveau it's name.
Unlike the glass art of the Art Nouveau in France, the Secession glass designs were geometric and abstract, without the curving lines and natural forms of the earlier style.
He designed the windows for the Austrian Postal Savings Bank, one of the landmarks of the Vienna Secession style, and also for the St. Charles Borromeo Cemetery Church, the most notable of Vienna Secession churches.
Victor Horta, the Belgian architect who designed some of the easiest Art Nouveau houses, used stained glass windows, combined with ceramics, wood and iron decoration with similar motifs, to create a harmony between functional elements and decoration, making a unified work of art.
Early Art Nouveau stained glass generally used traditional techniques and subjects, but usually featured floral themes and women as the central figures.
Later, as in his stained glass window of Oyster Bay, he used the Favrile glass process that he patented, in which the molten glass was tinted with metallic oxides to give its surface an iridescent effect.
In Moscow, the Russian architect Fyodor Schechtel used stained glass windows to create the atmosphere of his most Art celebrated Nouveau house, the Ryabushinsky House, now the Gorky Museum.
He also used Art Nouveau glass to create the striking lamp in the shape of a jellyfish that ornaments the main stairway.
He won two titles on the Challenger Tour and made his only Grand Prix (ATP Tour) main draw appearance at Buenos Aires in 1986, where he made the second round.
The popular name of the building refers to the visible structure's resemblance to a pagoda, with each floor rotated 45º from the lower one and joined with a hyperboloid ruled surface.

He was most notable for terms in the Vermont House of Representatives and Vermont Senate, and for serving as mayor of Burlington from 1876 to 1883.
D. Hatch and J. D. Hatch) was born in Norwich, Vermont on January 21, 1811, a son of Reuben and Eunice (Denison) Hatch.
After finishing his college studies, Hatch settled in Windsor, Vermont, where he operated a successful general store in partnership with his brother Albert.
He was active in politics as a Whig and later as a Republican, and represented Windsor in the Vermont House of Representatives from 1853 to 1855 and Windsor County in the Vermont Senate from 1857 to 1859.
In 1861, Hatch moved to Burlington, where he became an investor in the Central Vermont Railway and the Vermont and Canada Railroad.
Hatch served as mayor from 1876 to 1883, and frequently ran for reelection with the endorsement of both Republicans and Democrats.
In addition, he was credited with the creation of a sinking fund, which the city used to finance future projects, enabling it to avoid incurring additional debt.
The 1924 United States presidential election in Tennessee took place on November 4, 1924, as part of the 1924 United States presidential election.
Contrariwise, the rest of Middle and West Tennessee who had supported and driven the state’s secession was equally fiercely Democratic as it associated the Republicans with Reconstruction.
After the disfranchisement of the state’s African-American population by a poll tax was largely complete in the 1890s, the Democratic Party was certain of winning statewide elections if united, although unlike the Deep South Republicans would almost always gain thirty to forty percent of the statewide vote from mountain and Highland Rim support.
When the Democratic Party was bitterly divided, the Republicans did win the governorship in 1910 and 1912, but did not gain at other levels.
The 1920 election saw a significant but not radical change, whereby by moving into a small number of traditionally Democratic areas in Middle Tennessee and expanding turnout due to the Nineteenth Amendment and powerful isolationist sentiment, the Republican Party was able to capture Tennessee’s presidential electoral votes and win the governorship and take three congressional seats in addition to the rock-ribbed GOP First and Second Districts.
In 1922, with the ebbing of isolationist sympathy and a consequent decline in turnout, the Democratic Party regained the three seats lost in 1920 and also regained Tennessee’s governorship under Austin Peay, later to become notorious for attempting to prohibit the teaching of evolution.
However, in May, Tennessee went to Smith’s rival William Gibbs McAdoo, who represented the rural, southern, historically secessionist and prohibitionist wing of the party.
Ultimately neither Smith not McAdoo could prove acceptable to all Democratic delegates and the nomination went to a compromise candidate in Wall Street layer John W. Davis of West Virginia.
Although West Virginia was a border state whose limited African-American population had not been disenfranchised as in all former Confederate States, Davis did share the extreme social conservatism of Southern Democrats of his era.
The possibility of large La Follette votes in the Midwest and West tying up the Electoral College led Coolidge and Davis to give major priority to Tennessee and the border states – where La Follette generally had little appeal –in the early fall campaigns.
In polling from the beginning of October, Tennessee was without representation, but at the end of that month it was rated as doubtful between Coolidge and Davis., although during the third week of that month Davis himself had said he would carry the state by thirty to fifty thousand votes.
Although La Follette would relegate Davis to third in twelve states and carry his home state of Wisconsin, he had very little appeal amongst Tennessee’s poll-tax-restricted electorate, with the exception of small nitrate-mining communities in and around Grundy County where he even ran second ahead of Coolidge.
It was predicted in the latest polls that La Follette would gain less than ten percent of Tennessee’s ballots, and in the end he finished with only 3.55%, making Tennessee La Follette’s fourth-weakest state nationwide.

In mechanics, Sommerfeld effect is a phenomenon arising from feedback in the energy exchange between vibrating systems: for example, when for the rocking table, under given conditions, energy transmitted to the motor resulted not in higher revolutions but in stronger vibrations of the table.
In the theory of hidden oscillations, Sommerfeld effect is explained by the multistability and presence in the phase space of dynamical model without stationary states of two coexisting hidden attractors, one of which attracts trajectories from vicinity of zero initial data (which correspond to the typical start up of the motor), and the other attractor corresponds to the desired mode of operation with a higher frequency of rotation.
Depending on the model under consideration, coexisting hidden attractors in the model may be either periodic or chaotic; such dynamical models with Sommerfeld effect are the earliest known mechanical example of a system without equlibria and with hidden attractors.

Kenneth Thomas Strongman (2 December 1940 – 29 December 2019) was a New Zealand psychologist and academic, and was a professor of psychology at the University of Canterbury, specialising in the field of emotion.
Born on 2 December 1940 in Ware, Hertfordshire, England, Strongman was the son of Grace Mary Strongman (née Dew) and Alfred Thomas Strongman.
He grew up in a terrace house in Highbury, North London, and was educated at Dame Alice Owen's School where his contemporaries included John Broadhurst.
In 1964, Strongman married Thelma Madeline Francis, and they went on to have two children, including art curator, writer, and film and television critic Lara Strongman.
He moved to New Zealand in 1979 when he was appointed professor and head of department of psychology at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, where he remained for the rest of his career.
He served 15 years as head of department, and later held managerial roles at Canterbury, including as assistant vice-chancellor (government and community relations) and pro-vice-chancellor arts.
Strongman was regarded as an international expert on emotion, and his research covered both theoretical and empirical aspects of the subject.
In 2003, Strongman was one of 140 prominent New Zealanders who signed a petition that was presented to Parliament, seeking a royal commission into the Christchurch Civic Crèche abuse case.
Strongman was elected a Fellow of the New Zealand Psychological Society in 1982, and a Fellow of the British Psychological Society in 1990.

The symbolism incorporates a field divided red and white; a zigzag or serrated division; a floral depiction termed a cinquefoil; and a running fox.
The red and white divided field was a pattern borne by the de Montfort earls of Leicester, whose family emanated from Normandy.
He returned to Gascony in 1248 to settle King Henry III's unruly lands, which caused the locals to petition the king against him.
De Montfort and other barons were becoming disaffected with the King’s irresponsible rule, they arrived fully armed at a Great Council meeting, where, led by de Montfort, they forced the King to accept reforms, the Provisions of Oxford.
A Parliament was to be called and a permanent council of fifteen, of whom de Montfort was one, was to control the King's actions.
On May 14th 1264 de Montfort's army engaged the King's on the South Downs north of Lewes, Sussex and victorious, he became de facto ruler of England.
After a rule of just over a year, de Montfort met his death at the hands of forces loyal to the King, at the Battle of Evesham.
The coat of arms of Leicestershire County Council in flag form is often marketed as the county flag of Leicestershire, but it represents only the council and flying it requires their permission.
It is also worth noting that the design does not include, probably the single most definitive county emblem, the running fox.

The Andhra Pradesh Decentralisation and Inclusive Development of All Regions Bill, 2020 () is a proposed bill regarding decentralisation of governance in the state of Andhra Pradesh so that establishments for additional two capitals can be made at any place outside Amaravati.
The bill was proposed by the Andhra Pradesh Government to establish three capitals at different places in the state namely Amaravati, Vishakapatnam and Kurnool.
The introduction of the bill caused widespread criticism especially from the legal executives, journalist organisations, political parties, and farmers fearing that this would create inequality across all regions of the state and as well as damage to Amaravati's capital investments.
Potti Sri Ramulu one of the strong activists, took indefinite hunger strike from October 19, 1952 and demanded for a separate Andhra state from the Madras state for the Telugu speaking people.
As a result of his sacrifice, the Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru bifurcated Madras state to the new Andhra state consisting eleven districts of Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema on October 1, 1953 with Kurnool as its temporary capital of Andhra state and the Madras city as permanent capital of Madras state.
On 1956, the Parliament of India introduced an act which was a major reform of the boundaries of Indian states and territories, organising them along linguistic lines.
Following the effects of changes made to Constitution of India, the newly Combined Andhra Pradesh was formed by the merger of Hyderabad state along with Andhra state for Telugu speaking people's demand.
Based on the commission's conclusions, the Government of India preferred Visalandhra and enlarged the state by including nine Telugu speaking districts of Hyderabad state to eleven districts of Andhra state to form Andhra Pradesh with 20 districts.
The Andhra Pradesh state was formed by the merger of Hyderabad state and Andhra state with its new capital Hyderabad on basis of Gentlemen's Agreement of 1956.
The Telangana leaders proposed that the High court of the Andhra Pradesh state should be located in Hyderabad and a bench should be constituted in Guntur.
But the Andhra leaders rejected it by stating that high court can be established in hyderabad and there was no need for a bench in Guntur district.
During 1969 to 1973, several movements like Telangana movement and 1972 Jai Andhra movement took place for bifurcation of the state.
Protests started with the hunger strike of a student from Khammam district for the implementation of safe-guards promised during the creation of Andhra Pradesh.
Amid, the people of Telangana had alleged violations of Gentlemen's Agreement of 1956 led to the 1969 Telangana movement and cited as one of the main reasons for the demands of separate statehood for Telangana region.
The Parliament of India implemented an act that defined the boundaries of the two states, and laid out the status of Hyderabad as the permanent capital of Telangana state and temporary capital of the Andhra Pradesh state for 10 years.
On June 2019, The Governor had issued orders for reallocation of the buildings to the newly carved out state in accordance with the provisions of A.P.
Later, the bill was introduced in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly even though Andhra Pradesh High Court gave verdict to extend the duration on submission of representations.
The bill was passed on the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly by having majority of the seats after 17 MLA's of the Telugu Desam Party were suspended and amid ongoing demonstrations of farmers.
Although this bill was passed by the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly, or lower house of Andhra Pradesh Legislature, it stalled in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council, following widespread protests against the bill.
The Official opposition has given a notice to the house chairman Shariff Mohammed Ahmed under Rule 71 of the council and demanded that a debate should be allowed before the tabling of the bill.
The speaker has permitted debate on the bill and the opposition criticized the government by contending that the bills transgressed parliamentary laws and legal issues and the bills will have serious implications for the state and also will affect the state image as well as investments.
The idea of three capitals by the Chief minister Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy caused widespread demonstrations by the farmers of Krishna and Guntur districts.
In the capital city of the state, farmers and agricultural workers were against the decentralisation of the government and theory of three capitals.
They stated that, the bill is against agreements to the farmers who gave 33,000 acres of agricultural lands to the government.
After the bill was passed on 21 January 2020 by the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly, violent protests erupted in Andhra Pradesh, particularly in Amaravati.
It was formed on 20 January 2020, after the resignation of Will Hodgman as Premier of Tasmania and the election of Gutwein as Liberal leader.

Chongqing SWM () is a professional Chinese football club that participates in the Chinese Super League under licence from the Chinese Football Association (CFA).
The team is based in Chongqing and their home stadium is the Chongqing Olympic Sports Center that has a seating capacity of 58,680.
The club was founded in 1995 and originally called Qianwei (Vanguard) Wuhan before making their debut in the newly developed fully professional Chinese football league system where they started in the third tier within the 1995 league season.
They would quickly rise up to the top tier and experience their greatest achievement of winning the 2000 Chinese FA Cup and coming fourth within the league.
After these achievements they struggled to replicate the same success and experienced their first relegation from the top tier in the 2006 league season.
After gaining promotion in 2008 back into the top tier they were unable to remain in the top flight and were relegated once more in the 2010 season.
In 2014, they finished the season at the top of Chinese League One (tier 2) division and won promotion to the Chinese Super League again.
According to Forbes, Chongqing is the 9th most valuable football team in China, with a team value of $76 million, and an estimated revenue of $17 million in 2015.
(later known as Optics Valley F.C., dissolved in 2008 and reborn as Wuhan Zall in 2009), which created a vacant space available in the football league in 1994.
After gaining financial supports from Hubei investors, the new Qianwei club took part in the newly-developed professional Chinese football league system.
In the 1995 season, Qianwei took part in the bottom level (tier-3) of the Chinese league pyramid and finished fourth to gain promotion to the second division.
In the second tier, they quickly received significant funding from the Ministry of Public Security along with the Huandao Group, a notable company in tourism industry based in Hainan, which in turn also saw the club change its name to Qianwei Huandao to represent their new stockholder.
Qianwei Huandao tried to relocate their home ground in Haikou, the capital city of Hainan province, but the team finally chose to stay in Wuhan since there was no suitable stadium in Hainan to serve as the home ground.
With significant investment coming into the team, they bought several former Chinese international players such as Feng Zhigang and Xu Tao to strengthen the squad.
This soon paid off when the club won the second tier league and promoted to the top tier at the end of the 1996 league season.
In the top tier the owners decided that the club needed to affiliate itself with a major region that had a great football fan population, so they decided to move to the nearby city of Chongqing and chose the Datianwan Stadium as their new home ground.
This was followed by more Chinese internationals such as Jiang Feng and Han Jinming joining the team and ensuring the club stayed up in the tier one at the end of the season.
Ensuring that the club remain the only team within the Chongqing region, the club went on to merge and essentially take over a club in the lower level league, Chongqing Hongyan, in the following season.
Lifan Group, a local flagship company in automobile industry, bought the club for 55,800,000 yuan on 19 August 2000 and renamed the club Chongqing Lifan F.C.
While all of this was happening the club's manager Lee Jang-Soo was ensuring that the club would gradually improve each successive season and provide the club with their greatest achievement of winning the 2000 Chinese FA Cup for the first time in the club's history.
In the 2003 league season Chongqing Lifan had brought in Miloš Hrstić as their new coach, however his appointment was a disaster and the club was relegated at the end of the season.
With the club desperate to remain within the top tier they would buy Yunnan Hongta's registration and merge the clubs' senior teams together allowing Chongqing Lifan to remain in the top division.
Surprisingly the club would actually profit from the merger when several of the surplus players from both teams would then go on to gain investment from the Hunan Corun Group and buy Chongqing Lifan's second division registration for 20,000,000 yuan to then form Hunan Shoking.
Back on the field the club would bring in Yu Dongfeng as their new manager in the 2004 league season, however because it was an expansion season the club would stagnate at the bottom of the league, safe in the knowledge that there was no relegation that season.
With no relegation again in the 2005 league season there was no improvement within the team despite the change in management with Ma Lin coming in.
With relegation reinstated in the 2006 league season the club brought in another change of management with Xu Hong, however for the third straight season in a row the club finished bottom of the league and were relegated at the end of the season.
The move would pay-off when on his second season the club won promotion back into the top tier when Chongqing came second at the end of the 2008 league season.
On 26 June 2016, Jiang Lizhang purchased 98.13% of Granada CF, setting up an affiliation, which has seen Feng Jing and Wang Zixiang go to the Spanish club, with Chongqing Lifan.
On 5 January 2017, Jiang, alongside the Dangdai International Group, purchased 90% of Chongqing Lifan, renaming the club Chongqing Dangdai Lifan.
Throughout Chongqing Lifan's history they have built rivalries with Sichuan Quanxing, Chengdu Blades and Chongqing F.C., whom they contested in the local Chongqing derby.
The oldest of these rivalries was against Sichuan Quanxing, which was formed when the club moved to the neighbouring province of Chongqing and effectively created a local derby.
With both clubs in the top tier representing two neighbouring provinces, a fierce local rivalry would form that reached its peak on 12 November 2003 in a vital league game for both teams to avoid relegation.
Sichuan won 2–0 in a highly contentious game that saw Qiu Weiguo (邱卫国) from Chongqing and Marko Jovanović of Sichuan receive suspensions for their on-field behavior.
This rivalry would come to end when Sichuan declared themselves defunct at the end of the 2005 league season; however, another Sichuan province club in Chengdu Blades soon took over the baton as local rivals.
This was ignited on 14 April 2007 in a home league game for Chongqing Lifan that saw Chengdu win 1–0 as both teams looked to win promotion into the top tier that season.
For several seasons these two clubs would fight in an intermittent rivalry until Chengdu were dissolved in 2015 after facing financial difficulties.
After only one season both clubs would meet each other within the second division and had their first encounter in a league game with Chongqing F.C.
The return fixture would see violence break out between the two set of fans as the rivalry intensified between the clubs.
(a club in Hebei province) as a major rival due to the hostility between fanbases of these two clubs triggered by the transfer of Wang Dong from Shandong Tengding to Chongqing Lifan in 2014.
Wang was hated by Yongchang fans because of his previously unfriendly words against another Hebei team (Hebei Zhongji, the forerunner of the current powerhouse Hebei CFFC).

Rev Dr Donald Munro DD (1860–1937) was a Scottish minister in the 19th and 20th centuries, who served as Moderator of the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland in 1919.
He was born on 4 September 1860 at Strathbrora farm in Clyne in Sutherland, the somn of a shepherd, John Munro, and his wife, Jessie Grant.
At the Union of 1900 Rev Munro declined to join the new church and opted to remain in the (then minority) Free Church.
On or before this period he became involved in the creation of the Scottish Psalter: a group of plainsong psalms sung in a particular style, popular with the Free Church, and frequently in Gaelic.
Clovis Thorel, born April 28, 1833 in Hébécourt, Somme, France, died September 11, 1911 in Bagnoles-de-l'Orne, was a French botanist, explorer and doctor.
Born in 1833 in Vers-Hébécourt, Thorel attended medical school from the age of 17, against the advice of his parents, modest textile workers who wanted him to continue their trade.
In 1866, he participated in the French Mekong expedition of 1866–1868 under the direction of the frigate captain Ernest Doudart de Lagrée.
It aims were to carry out geographic and biological studies and to find a novel route to China: travelling up the Mekong river, visiting the temples of Angkor, crossing present-day Laos, then crossing Tonkin to reach Yunnan, via the high mountains.
Captain de Lagrée died and the exhausted and sick survivors reached Shanghai in June 1868, having covered 8,800 km in two years.
He wrote the ethnographic part of the report of the expedition, as well as the chapter devoted to agriculture and botany.
He left the Navy in 1871, when the French Third Republic was established, to open a medical office in the Passy district.
In 1906, he donated his herbarium and nine manuscript volumes describing 4,203 species to the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris.
The last twenty years of his life, he devoted himself to the study of the thermal properties of the great source of Bagnoles-de-l'Orne, where he died in 1911.
Hansruedi Günthardt (* 18 October 1931; † 6 September 2005) was a Swiss footballer who played for FC Basel in the 1960s as Goalkeeper.
Günthardt started his early football years playing for FC Emmenbrücke, then for the reserve team of FC Luzern and later Lausanne-Sports, before he moved to Basel.
Günthardt played his Nationalliga A debut on 7 October 1962 as Basel won their home game against Young Fellows Zürich 2–1.
During the following seasons he was mainly second goalkeeper behind Swiss national keeper Kurt Stettler and later behind Marcel Kunz and Jean-Paul Laufenburger.
Between the years 1962 and 1969 Günthardt played a number of games for the reserve team and a total of 51 games for the FC Basel first team.
24 of these games were in the Nationalliga A, two in the Swiss Cup, four in the Cup of the Alps and 21 were friendly games.
At the end of the 1968/69 season Günthardt went on to play for local rivals Old Boys, where he ended his active football.
At the same time, he was something like the right hand of trainer Helmut Benthaus in this function, especially as at that time the position of assistant coach was commonly unknown as opposed to now.
He died on 6 September 2005 after a serious illness, which was a very painful time for him, therefore his death came as somewhat of a relief.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed four litanies in his service as a church musician for the Salzburg Cathedral, two of which are settings of the Litaniae Lauretanae, the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
He composed his first litany, K. 109, dated May 1771, in the spirit of the Italian music he had encountered on his trip.
The work requires only a small orchestra of violins and continuo, with optionally trombones playing with the voices, which suggests that it may have been intended for the chapel of Schloss Mirabell.
It is a sacramental litany, Litaniae de venerabili altaris sacramento (Litanies of the venerated sacrament of the altar), venerating the Eucharist.
Structured in six movements, it shows that Mozart studied the style of his predecessors at the cathedral, namely a double-fugue by Michael Haydn.
The following table lists for each the title, number in the latest Köchel catalogue (K.), number in the former catalogue, year of composition, key and number of movements (Mvmts).

A Peter Pan disk is a circumstellar disk around a star or brown dwarf with a spectral type of M or later.
To fit the definition of a Peter Pan disk the source needs formula_1, an age of >20 Myr and spectroscopic evidence of accretion.
It is part of the 45 Myr old Carina young moving group, older than expected for these characteristics of an M-dwarf.
Other stars and brown dwarfs were discovered to be similar to AWI0005x3s, with signs of youth while being in an older moving group.
Peter Pan disks are named after the main character Peter Pan in the play and book Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up, written by J.M.
The system is inclined to our line of sight by ~38°, enough to not expect any disk material to move in front of the star.
found additional Peter Pan disks in the literature, which were identified as part of GAYA (Great Austral Young Association, containing Carina, Columba, Tucana-Horologium) complex.
The paper also mentions that members of NGC 2547 were previously identified to have 22 μm excess and could be similar to Peter Pan disks.
2MASS 08093547-4913033, which is one of the M-dwarfs with a debris disk in NGC 2547 was observed with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph.
There are different models to explain the existence of Peter Pan disks, such as disrupted planetesimals or recent collisions of planetary bodies.

Labib al-Fata al-Saqlabi (or Labib of Tortosa) was the founder and first ruler of the Taifa of Tortosa from around to .
He was a Saqaliba, usually Slavic children that were captured, castrated, sold as slaves in Spain, and educated in the Islamic culture and religion.
Some time after this he took power in the city of Tortosa, but was deposed when the city was briefly taken over by the Mundhir I of the Taifa of Zaragoza.
He supported the proclamation of Abd al-Rahman IV as caliph of Cordoba in , but they and their caliph were defeated in the vicinity of Granada by Zawi ibn Ziri.
Shortly after this Mubarak and Muzaffar died (possibly due to a rebellion instigated by Labib), and Labib became the ruler of the Taifa of Valencia.
In , Labib declared allegiance to Hisham II (who was most likely dead after the Berbers sacking Cordoba in 1013) as a symbol of his legitimacy, after the ruler of the Taifa of Seville, Abu al-Qasim Muhammad ibn Abbad claimed he had reappeared.
It is possible that he died in Tortosa in , but it is uncertain whether he was deposed or named a successor, since the only evidence found has been that after this date coinage was issued by his successor, Muqatil Sayf al-Milla.
The 1920 United States presidential election in Tennessee took place on November 4, 1920, as part of the 1920 United States presidential election.
Contrariwise, the rest of Middle and West Tennessee who had supported and driven the state’s secession was equally fiercely Democratic as it associated the Republicans with Reconstruction.
After the disfranchisement of the state’s African-American population by a poll tax was largely complete in the 1890s, the Democratic Party was certain of winning statewide elections if united, although unlike the Deep South Republicans would almost always gain thirty to forty percent of the statewide vote from mountain and Highland Rim support.
When the Democratic Party was bitterly divided, the Republicans did win the governorship in 1910 and 1912, but did not gain at other levels.
During the period before the 1920 presidential election, Tennessee was the center of bitter debate over the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, which the state – with its Democratic Party still seriously divided – ultimately passed by a very close 50 to 46 House of Representatives vote.
Although most of the Republicans in the state legislature had supported the Nineteenth Amendment, outgoing President Woodrow Wilson’s League of Nations was deeply unpopular in the isolationist and fundamentalist Appalachian regions, and the President was thus stigmatised for his advocacy of that organisation.
New Democratic nominee James M. Cox also supported American participation in the League, whereas his rival Warren Harding was largely opposed to the League and was helped in the South by racial and labor unrest elsewhere in the country.
Harding’s victory did not see a major change in partisan alignments, but was due to gains in normally Democratic rural white counties of Middle Tennessee – where he was the only Republican to carry Perry County until John McCain in 2008 and the solitary GOP victor in Jackson County until Mitt Romney in 2012 – plus abnormally high voter turnout amongst isolationist mountaineers in rock-ribbed Republican East Tennessee.

D'Aeth was born at 4, Hyde Side Terrace, Edmonton, Middlesex, the fourth of seven children of bank clerk Alfred D'Aeth and Elizabeth (née Gosling).
Educated at the Mercers' School, D'Aeth started work as a clerk at the National Assurance Company aged 15, where his apprenticeship allowed him to learn business administration and bookkeeping.
He took up independent study with the goal of becoming a clergyman, subsequently attending King's College London classes part-time, then, in 1896, went up to Oxford as a non-collegiate student at the same time as studying theology at St Stephen's House.
Having left Oxford, later that year D'Aeth was ordained a deacon, and admitted in that role to Manchester Cathedral, working also as curate of St Matthew's Church, Habergham Eaves, Burnley, Lancashire.
His experience of the hardships encountered by his parishioners and the local community led to his life-long commitment to the concept of community as central to social progress.
The duties of the clergy here primarily related to relief of poverty; D'Aeth was dismayed by the scale of the deprivation experienced by the local people.
By 1905, disillusioned by the church's attitude to poverty, D'Aeth (at the same time as his vicar) abandoned his clerical career, taking an appointment as junior lecturer at Liverpool University.
D'Aeth and his wife Margaret had two sons: Christopher John (1910–1931), who after Rugby and Balliol College, Oxford (where he read chemistry) died of exposure during a snowstorm whilst serving as ornithologist on a ten-man expedition to the uninhabited island of Akpotek, beyond Labrador in the Hudson Strait; and Andrew Maynard (b.

Bubrah () is a 9th-century Buddhist temple located within the complex of the Prambanan Temple Archaelogocal Park, in Central Java, Indonesia.
The name reflect the conditions of this temple during its discovery, which was a heap of 2 metres tall stone ruins.
It is located several hundred meters north from Prambanan temple, located between Sewu temple compound in the north and Lumbung temple in the south.
The temple is located within Prambanan or Kewu Plain, an archaeologically rich area dotted with numerous Hindu-Buddhist temples dated circa 8th to 9th century CE.
Bubrah temple is a Buddhist temple, and was built around 9th century during the era of the Mataram kingdom that ruled Central Java and some parts of Eastern Java.
Bubrah temple believed was constructed around the same period or slightly later after the completion of nearby Sewu and Lumbung temple, all three being a Buddhist-style mandala.
Bubrah temple seems to be added later to complete Manjusrigrha (Sewu) vajradhatu mandala as the southern shrine dedicated as the guardian of directions.
Thus possibly Bubrah temple was constructed after the reign of Panangkaran, either during the reign of Dharanindra, or possibly Samaragrawira, which means the temple was constructed in early 9th century.
The temple was in ruins during its rediscovery back in early 19th century, along with nearby Prambanan and Sewu temple compound.
Throughout the 20th century, nothing much had been done to restore and reconstruct the temple, as the temple stones were left scattered around the area.
In 1992, the temple was included within the area of Prambanan Archaeological Park or Prambanan Temple Tourism Park, along with nearby Lumbung, Sewu, and Prambanan temples, registered as Prambanan Temple Compound and recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site.
The project developed in 7 stages, and was completed in 14 December 2017, inaugurated by Muhajir Effendy, Indonesian Minister of Education and Culture.
The temple plan measures 12 x 12 metres and facing east side, with flight of stairs, portico and portal facing east.
The design of the temple is similar to the Apit temple within the Sewu temple compound and Sojiwan temple not far south.
Archaeologists suggest that the temple is actually a part of the greater Sewu temple compound (Manjusrigrha complex), as the southern temple marking the southern point of the mandala layout.
This suggestion is based on the fact that there is a similar-sized temple on the eastern side called Candi Gana that marking the eastern end on Manjusrigrha mandala.
On northern and western sides around 300 metres from Sewu main temple, there were also ruins discovered, however, the stones are too scarce to reconstruct.
In conclusion, Bubrah temple were originally part of four vanguard temples placed around 300 meters in four cardinal points from the main temple of Sewu.

The cave formed in 1614-1624 during a large eruption of the volcano, inside one of the lava flows produced during that eruption.
Grotta del Gelo lies at - elevation on Etna's northern/northwestern flank, in the municipality of Randazzo and within the Etna National Park.
Other caves in the area are the , and , the first two of which formed during the same eruption as the Grotta del Gelo.
There are also two volcanic cones, Monte Nero and Monte Pizzillo, and the vents of the 1923 and 1947 eruptions in the area.
This long and about wide lava tube can be accessed through a wide entrance at the upper end of the tube.
The surface of the lava flows, exposed to the air, cooled and solidified to form a crust on the remaining flow.
Due to the great thickness of the lava flow –  on average – it probably took at least a decade for it to cool sufficiently for ice to form within.
Ice also forms in the Grotta del Lago lava cave above Grotta del Gelo, but it thaws during summer and is thus not perennial.
The ice within the cave began to form during the Maunder Minimum, within two decades from the formation of the cave – probably during the second half of the 17th century.
The ice mass in the cave increased until the 1980s and then declined due to the combined effect of climate change and an eruption in 1981 which occurred close to the cave and changed its temperature regime.
The shape of the ice body has also changed over time; at some time after the 1990s a gallery formed in the ice, which then disappeared again.
Beginning in the 1970s the cave became a tourist attraction for hikers, which led to increasing scientific interest and investigations from the 1980s onwards.
Its interior was monitored and investigated from 1997 to 2000, and in 2013 a new and improved sensor network was installed by researchers to track the cave's atmospheric humidity and temperature.
Legends talk of the existence of a treasure at Grotta del Gelo; such legends are common for the volcanic caves at Etna.

He currently works as the Technical Director for Research and Development Separation Science for LECO Corporation based in Saint Joseph, Michigan, USA.
Following the fall of the Soviet Union, Artaev sought to find work outside of the newly-formed Russia due to concerns about political instability and the desire to build a better life for his family.
Ultimately, he was offered a temporary position  in Okemos, Michigan working for Meridian Instruments, a research and development group formed from Michigan State University graduates and professors.
At Meridian Instruments, Artaev worked alongside computer programmer Kevin McNitt to develop the GC-TOFMS (Gas Chromatography Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer), which could analyze a 60 compound VOC mixture in under 80 seconds, compared to the one hour for similar instruments available at the time.
In 1995, LECO Corporation, which is based in Saint Joseph, Michigan, acquired Artaev’s project from Meridian Instruments and added Artaev and McNitt to their research and development team.
LECO heavily invested in continuing what Artaev and McNitt had developed at Meridian and eventually created the world’s first commercial GC-TOFMS, known as the Pegasus, in 1997.
The instrument was capable of recording in excess of 500 full spectra per second without data loss, something that many Mass Spectrometer manufacturers still struggle to accomplish to this day.
Artaev continued to set scientific milestones by improving his Pegasus instrument to increase the speed and accuracy by which the instruments would produce data.
In addition, Artaev is a founding member and former president of the Russian Mass Spectrometry Interest Group at ASMS, which emerged in 1998 at the annual ASMS meeting in Orlando, Florida.
The interest group is notable not only for its work to assimilate scientists, but also for its impromptu musical performances around the hotel piano, as well as water polo matches in the hotel pools.
Artaev has been the co-author of a number of publications based on studies conducted with his Mass Spectrometer products developed at LECO.

He carved a niche as an actor when featured in A rayuwa (2015), he has featured in more than 20 films as lead actor and supporting actor including Ruwan Dare, Jidda, Tsalle Daya, Dakin Amarya, and Takaddama.
His father was Benjamin Backhouse, member of the New South Wales Legislative Council; his brother Alfred Paxton Backhouse was a judge of the District Court of New South Wales.
He received commercial and scientific instruction at the Grammar School and The King's School, Sydney-based institutions which prepared students for university.
He matriculated in science at the University of Sydney, after which he was appointed assistant professor to Mr. W. A. Dixon, F.I.C., Professor of the Chair of Chemistry in the Sydney Technical College.
His duties included delivering a course of lectures to the students of the college on metallurgy, and demonstration in the laboratory.
Here his extensive knowledge of both inorganic and organic chemistry proved a remunerative boon to the company, as he introduced cheaper and more convenient methods of treatment.
He was there nine months when he proceeded to the Evelyn Silver Mine, in the Northern Territory, as an assayer and metallurgist.
Success, however, was moderate, and he returned to Sydney in 1889, and accepted the post of metallurgist in the Kohinoor Mine at Captain's Flat, near Braidwood.
Then he took the management of the Clyde Smelting and Refining Works at Granville—very large and important works belonging to the Hudson Brothers.
He returned to Western Australia in August, 1893, and immediately after his arrival, started practice in Perth as a mining and consulting engineer.
His counsel and opinion were sought for continually in mining matters, and he gradually gained a business connection with leading mining companies.
The company, which was floated on the London market by member of the Western Australian Legislative Council Henry Saunders, had possession of extensive real estate and various properties that necessitated Backhouse travelling over large portions of the colony.
In his twin capacity of manager and overseer, he inspected and took accurate bearings and measurements of all the different properties.
A series of flotations by the company early took place in rapid succession: the White Feather Reward Mine, Mount Jackson Gold Mine, Mount Margaret Reward Claim, the Princess Alice, the Quartz Hill Reward, and the Yerilla Gold mines.
Blackhouse made acute and observant reports and scientific accounts of the physical features of the country during his traversals, which includes all the gold fields of the interior; his extensive geological and chemical knowledge made them authoritative.
He was the first mining engineer in Coolgardie to perform the journey from Coolgardie to Lake Way through the Murchison goldfields to Geraldton.
Born in Hill End, New South Wales, she was the daughter of John King Weir, and sister to J. K. and Alf Weir, both of whom were involved in the development of the Western Australian goldfields.
Despite Backhouse's flood of business he found time for patronising various kinds of sport, including as vice-president of The Rugby Football Club of Coolgardie and as patron or honorary office-bearer of various others.
In 1920 he was appointed a Justice of the Peace for the Yilgarn district, and by 1928 he was chairman of Ravensthorpe Hospital's board.
A strategic fighter is a fast, well-armed and long-range fighter aircraft, capable of fulfilling roles such as Escort fighter protecting bombers, penetration fighter carrying out offensive sorties of its own far into enemy territory and of maintaining standing combat air patrols at significant distance from its home base.
However, they too proved unwieldy and vulnerable, so as the war progressed techniques such as drop tanks were developed to extend the range of more nimble conventional fighters.
The penetration fighter is typically also fitted for the ground-attack role, and so is able to defend itself while conducting attack sorties.
Although not designed for the strategic role, British fighters flew from one of the first aircraft carriers in 1918 to wreak devastating damage on German Zeppelin sheds, thus becoming an early example of the strategic fighter role.
Although impressive by the standards of the day when the Bf 110 first flew in 1936, by the time of the Battle of Britain it was outclassed by contemporary interceptors the Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire and proved relatively ineffectual as a bomber escort.
American attempts to deploy long-range escort fighters such as the Lockheed P-38 Lightning were also partially successful, due to the limited manoeuvrability of such large aircraft in comparison to single-engined fighters such as the Focke-Wulf FW 190 in Europe and Mitsubishi A6M Zero in the Pacific theatre.
The situation changed with the introduction of drop tanks, which greatly extended the range of the significantly smaller and lighter North American P-51 Mustang fighter, leading some authorities to describe it as America's first successful strategic fighter.
The P-38 was plagued by engine problems and its twin booms were easily recognisable in the air, rendering it vulnerable to surprise attack by the German fighters, while the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt had to release its drop tanks before combat, making its long-range value questionable.
During the cold war period, the US Strategic Air Command (SAC) created several strategic fighter squadrons, organised into strategic fighter wings, primarily for escort fighter and fighter-reconnaissance duties.
However any fighter which could be developed soon enough and with sufficient endurance to accompany the Boeing B-47 Stratojet strategic bomber would be as big as its charge.
With the advent of the more capable Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, in the first half of 1957 the strategic fighter wings were either disbanded or transferred to Tactical Air Command (TAC).
Although it came too late to serve with SAC, it was one of the first fighters designed to be capable of supersonic flight and was modified as a long-range interceptor serving with TAC.

Amir al-Dandal (born 1980) in Deir ez-Zor, also known as Sheikh Amir al-Mushref al-Dandal, is one of the leaders of the Al Uqaydat (Aghedat) tribe of Eastern Syria.
He became known internationally as a political and civil society activist with the beginning of the Civil uprising phase of the Syrian Civil War.
Dandal is the grandson of Sheikh Mushrif al-Dandal who lead a tribal revolt against British forces along the banks of the Middle Euphrates in 1919.
The Dandal family lived in the area of Abu Kamal and had been enjoying strong ties with several Syrian governments, including the rule of Hafez al-Assad.
Amir al-Dandal was among the first tribal leaders to publicly express discontent with the way the government of Bashar al-Assad was responding to the Civil uprising that lead to the Syrian Civil War.
When the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant expanded into the territory of the Al Uqaydat in Eastern Syria, Dandal became an activist against ISIL and an acclaimed source of analysis and information from the tribal areas to international media.
According to a BBC report from January 2020, Dandal, within the framework of this initiative, co-authored a statement which rejects the idea of collective accountability or retribution among tribes and Syrian communities for crimes and violations committed during the war.

Min Hi Line is a proposed linear park and shared-use path that would eventually re-purpose an active rail and agri-industrial corridor in the Longfellow community of Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States.
Modeled after successful projects like the Atlanta Beltline and New York High Line, it would feature an approximately , shared-use pathway that traverses housing, retail, commercial buildings, gardens, playgrounds, and public art installments.
Two pilot projects completed in 2018 and 2019 connect the Min Hi Line corridor to trail systems at its northern and southern ends.
At its northern end, it reaches the Midtown Greenway, and at its southern end it reaches the Minnehaha Falls park area.
Trail users could connect to many other shared-use paths in the area, such as Hiawatha LRT Trail, Little Earth Trail, and Grand Rounds trail network.
The proposed area for the Min Hi Line is used by Canadian Pacific Railway, Archer Daniels Midland, Leder Brothers Metal, and General Mills.
After Archer Daniel Midland ceases operations in the area, the century-old Atkinson Mill structure at East 38th Street will be the last remaining active grain mill left in the city of Minneapolis.
The grain silos and milling structures are a defining feature of the local neighborhood, and could be incorporated into future redevelopment.
A pathway built in 2019 along the east side of Hiawatha Avenue from East 32nd Avenue to East 28th Avenue, though technically part of the Hiawatha LRT Trail, is also referred to as the northern-most segment of the Min Hi Line.
A housing and retail development at East 46th Avenue and Snelling Avenue features a pathway to Nawadaha Boulevard that is considered the south end of the Min Hi Line.

Incontinence clamps for men are applied to compress the urethra to compensate for the malfunctioning of the natural urinary sphincter, preventing leakage from the bladder with minimal restriction of blood flow.
A penis clamp comprises a pair of elastic jaw members having a distal end and form a clamshell-type of restraint, being able to be opened and closed by the patient to release and contain urine at the will of the patient.
The inner surface warps around the penis with a cushioned easily disinfected clamp that is hinged at one end and provides adjustable tension to prevent unwanted urinary flow from the bladder.
They are most commonly made from stainless steel and plastic on the outer surface and silicone or rubber on the inner surface.
Men with urinary incontinence patients are generally left with a choice between multiple forms of management of this illness: surgery, collecting systems, absorbent products, intermittent catheters, indwelling catheters, or penile compression devices.
Penile compression devices such as penis clamps shown to cause a significant reduction in incontinence, however long-term use of these devices has the risk of complications, such as pain, urethral erosion, obstruction, and edema.
There is evidence that prolonged use of penis clamps compromise tissue and blood flow and promote the development of inflammatory response because of the elevation of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
However, none of the PCDs cause sustained irritation or impaired blood flow, and generally, patients yield good recovery around 40 minutes after the removal of the devices.

Bloch, Grace Hopper, and Robert Campbell were the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I, an electromechanical computer which, when it began operation in 1944, was the first American programmable computer.
Bloch was born in Rochester, New York, on June 18, 1921, and grew up there, being graduated from Benjamin Franklin High School.
He then immediately joined the Navy, as World War II was in progress, and was assigned to the Naval Research Institute.
The Harvard Mark I became operational in 1944, and was used for war work, including computation of ballistic tables, Bessel tables for electronics and other applications, and calculations used by the Manhattan Project for development of the atomic bomb.
Compilers and even assemblers had not yet been invented, so all programming was done in machine code punched into paper tape.
Grace Hopper called Bloch the Mozart of the computer due to his ability to write a program in ink and have it run the first time.
Bloch and Campbell kept notebooks in which they wrote out pieces of code that had been checked out and were known to be correct.
Grace Hopper just copied Bloch's routine into her own program when needed, rather than using the (slow) sine unit built into the machine.
Later, these subroutines were stored on separate paper tape rolls, although branching to one of these separate paper tapes and returning to the main program was done manually by human operators.

Made primarily of gold, it is the eighth bulla discovered to date in Britain and Ireland, and only the second in Britain.
The Shropshire pendant is decorated with an intricately carved geometric design, embellished with tiny triangles consisiting of evenly spaced diagonal lines.
In May 2018, the Shropshire Finds Liaison Officer, Peter Reavill, received a phone call from a metal detectorist who had discovered a spectacular find.
The name of the landowner and metal detectorist, and the location, are unnamed to protect the findspot and potential archaeological artefacts.
In viewing photographs of the intricately carved, gold pendant, Reavill's first thought was that the pendant was the missing Irwell bulla, which had been found in the Manchester Ship Canal in 1772.
The Shropshire bulla is only the second bulla to be discovered in England and the eighth bulla found to date in Britain and Ireland.
It is currently at the British Museum where is it being analyzed by the Department of Scientific Research and Neil Wilkin, museum curator of the European Bronze Age.

The de Cantilupe family which came to England at some time after the Norman Conquest of 1066 originated at one of several similarly named manors in Normandy, from which they took their name: Canteloup in Calvados, east of Caen or Chanteloup in Bréhal, Manche, or Canteloup in Manche east of Cherbourg on the tip of the Cherbourg Penninsula.
The de Cantilupe family of Greasley was a junior branch of a prominent Anglo-Norman family, descended from Sir Nicholas de Cantilupe (d.1266) who married Eustachia FitzHugh, heiress of Greasley.
Sir Nicholas was the 5th and youngest son of William II de Cantilupe (d.1251), 2nd feudal baron of Eaton Bray in Bedfordshire, steward of the household to King Henry III (whose own father William I de Cantilupe (died 1239) had been steward of the household to King John, father of Henry III).
Sir Nicholas's uncle was Walter de Cantilupe (1195-1266), Bishop of Worcester and his elder brother was Thomas de Cantilupe (1220-1282), Chancellor of England, Bishop of Hereford, who was canonised as a saint in 1320.
The senior line died out in the male line in 1273 on the death of the 22 year-old George de Cantilupe (1251-1273), 4th feudal baron of Eaton Bray, Lord of Abergavenny, who had inherited vast Welsh estates from his mother Eva de Briouze.
In 1349, long after the extinction of the senior line of the family, it was Nicholas de Cantilupe, 3rd Baron Cantilupe (c.1301-1355) of Greasley, who hosted the important ceremony in Hereford Cathedral of translating the relics of his great-uncle Saint Thomas de Cantilupe into the new shrine prepared for them.
He married Eve de Boltby, heiress of Boltby and of Ravensthorpe Castle within that manor, and is believed to be represented by the heavily restored recumbent effigy of a knight in Felixkirk Church, adjacent to Ravensthorpe Castle in Yorkshire (alternatively John de Walkyngham (d.1284)).
He was succeeded by his eldest son by Eve de Boltby, namely William de Cantilupe, 2nd Baron Cantilupe (1293-c.1321), who was involved in the murder of Piers Gaveston, favourite of King Edward II, and in 1313 begged on his knees for the forgiveness of that king, after which he relinquished his estates to his younger brother.
He was buried in Lincoln Cathedral where survives his severely mutilated recumbent effigy on a chest tomb, displaying the sculpted arms of Cantilupe of Greasley.
He died without issue when his heir became his younger brother William de Cantilupe (1344-1375), murdered by his cook and squire, possibly at the behest of his wife Maud Neville, which murder became a celebrated criminal lawsuit, see Murder of William de Cantilupe.

His work is often experimental, interactive, and inclusive of other media, and is sometimes derived from technological innovations such as an EEG machine and a cymascope.
In 1995, he collaborated with fellow students at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) to create the world’s largest painting.
O’Neal’s work includes public and private commissions, museum exhibitions, and numerous group and solo exhibitions at galleries throughout the United States.
Born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1967, O’Neal earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Illustration and his Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Painting, both at Savannah College of Art and Design.
O'Neal is a classically-trained painter whose work is often highly experimental, incorporating his interest in science and in creating interactive experiences for the viewer.
He applies the paint to a sanded down mirror, and the viscosity of the paint formula creates textured surfaces that reflect anything in front of them with varying degrees of clarity.
O’Neal took images of all the paintings he was bringing to the exhibition and made a slide show video, which he watched on a continual loop while wearing the EEG head gear.
The painting machine then created a single painting from his response to viewing the images, in the form of electrical frequencies.
This painting was then mounted on a boat and floated down a portion of the French Broad River in Marshall, North Carolina, where the mirrored paint would catch reflections of the landscape along the river bank.
Several of O’Neal’s public works were created with the use of a self-built cymascope, an instrument that captures standing-wave patterns in water created by the vibrational frequency of specific sounds.
O’Neal recorded the resonant frequency of the empty theatre space and recreated the cymatic image onto an entire wall within the lobby.
He recorded various sounds from within city buses and bus facilities and used the cymascope to create visual translations of each sound.
Due to time and budget constraints, the work was created with 3M chrome film that simulates the reflective quality of O’Neal’s mirrored paint, causing the appearance of the work to change with the appearance of the sky.
As part of his MFA thesis exhibition at SCAD in 2016, O’Neal reprogrammed an arcade roller coaster simulator to follow a paint brush as it moves across the painting surface, as though it were the track of a roller coaster.
The brush strokes were filmed in a first-person perspective as the painting was created, and the footage was then synchronized with the movements of the roller coaster simulator.
O’Neal’s work includes public commissions from the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center, and the Hanesbrands Theatre in the Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts.
He has exhibited work at The Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, the North Carolina Museum of Art, and the Santa Fe Art Institute; as well as galleries throughout the southeastern U.S., California, and Hong Kong.
Ante Jozić (born 16 January 1967) is a Croatian priest of the Catholic Church who has worked in the diplomatic service of the Holy See since 1999.
Though named an apostolic nuncio and titular archbishop in 2019, injuries suffered in a traffic accident prevented him from being consecrated and taking up his post.
He entered the diplomatic service of the Holy See on 1 July 1999 and worked at the apostolic nunciatures in India, the Russian Federation, and the Philippines, and for ten years in Hong Kong as head of the Holy See Study Mission for China.
His episcopal consecration, scheduled for 1 May, was postponed after Jozić was seriously injured in a car accident in Croatia on 7 April.
While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1841.
Batting twice in the match, he ended Oxford's first-innings of 157 all out unbeaten on 5, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 23 runs by Henry Walker.
Upon graduating from Oxford he took holy orders in 1848, taking his first ecclesiastical post as curate of North Cove, Suffolk from 1848–49.
He moved to Brussels in 1850, where he was a chaplain until 1856, marrying Emily Georgina Daveney at Antwerp during his first year in Belgium.
Returning to England, he took up the post of curate at St Mary-the-Less in Lambeth in 1859, before becoming the chaplain of St Peter’s Home, Brompton from 1863–68.
Roy Allan Melanson (born February 13, 1937) is an American serial killer and rapist, conclusively linked to three murders and numerous rapes in three states, and remains the prime suspect in at least two other murders.
Melanson was convicted of two 1974 murders, for which he received two life sentences, and is currently incarcerated at the La Vista Correctional Facility, in Pueblo, Colorado.
Hailing from Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, Melanson was a drifter and con artist who spent a majority of his life in various prisons.
Some of his earliest offenses include burglaries and rapes in Orange and Jefferson County, Texas, for the latter of which he was given 12 years imprisonment, but served only half of it.
However, it was reduced, and he was released in March 1988, a few months before the murder of one suspected victim.
She was last seen alive on July 10, 1974, tending to the bar, which was near closing hours, as one stranger was still hanging around the premises.
Anita had been raped, her clothes ripped through, stabbed 13 times with a screwdriver, in addition to having her throat slashed.
The killer had left several clues behind - a cigarette butt in an ashtray, a partial bloody fingerprint on a rear staircase, fingerprints on a bottle and an open cash register.
However, Matthews' car broke down while on the road, just as Michelle Wallace (referred to in some sources as 'Michele French'), who was returning from a backpacking trip, drove by.
Wallace's disappearance became a cold case, and remained as such until one county sheriff decided to re-open it in the early 1990s.
Not long after, Michelle's remains were found off a remote mountain road, but it couldn't be determined how exactly she had died.
A suspected victim of Melanson, the 51-year-old Klumpp was renting a home to Roy, his ex-wife and her new boyfriend in the Port Acres area of Port Arthur, Texas.
One day in 1988, she asked Melanson for help with her air conditioner, as well as to pick up a TV from the trio.
Klumpp's then-husband, who was staying in a motel for his out-of-town job in Galveston, regularly travelled to ensure that Pauline was alright.
Scott Gaspard, who is in charge of solving Klumpp's cold case, has said that Melanson had been the prime suspect since the very beginning.
Jannise, who had previously aided with locating remains in Mississippi and Canada, described the scenery in an astonishingly accurate manner, including details only police officials knew about.
While hanging around a laundromat, he overheard 24-year-old Charlotte Sauerwin gossiping about how long it was taking for her fiancé, Vincent LeJeune, to save money so they could buy land for a home.
When the other people left the laundromat, Melanson attacked her, viciously raping and torturing Sauerwin, before eventually strangling and cutting her throat.
He then tied a strap around her neck, dragging the body all the way near the couple's shed, where he dumped it.
Melanson was found to be in possession of her car and other items, including her camera, which showed him posing with a yet-unidentified teenager.
He was brought to trial, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for her murder, based on hair evidence collected from her scalp.
It wasn't until 2000, when a newly-enacted federal law obliged him to submit his DNA for testing, when authorities got a chance to solve the other murders.
DNA evidence connected him to both Andrews and Sauerwin's murders in 2010, but he was only tried for the former's in 2011, receiving another life imprisonment term.
Since then, law enforcement agencies around the country started reviewing their cold cases, with the hope that they could connect Melanson to any further crimes.
Roy has thus far been uncooperative with police, and has repeatedly tried to apply for parole before the Colorado Supreme Court, without success.

Latchmere Recreation Ground is a public open space with playing fields and a children's playground in the north of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.
Latchmere Recreation Ground is located in the Tudor ward of the Canbury area of Kingston, on flat ground at the bottom of the hill that rises within nearby Richmond Park less than 400m to the east.
The River Thames and Canbury Gardens lie approximately half a kilometre to the west and Ham Common a similar distance to the north.
It is set in a suburban residential area bounded by Latchmere Road to the south, Latchmere Lane to the west, Aldersbrook Drive to the east and the rear of houses on Tudor Drive to the north.
The space is enclosed within a metal fence with the main pedestrian and maintenance vehicle access gates at the south-western corner at the junction of Latchmere Road and Latchmere Lane.
Other pedestrian gates are located at the south-east and north-west corners and mid-way along the western side from which a gravel path leads to the south-east corner.
Another pedestrian gate provides access from opposite Latchmere Infant School mid-way along the southern side and another from the end of Cranleigh Gardens on the north-east.
The traversing footpath and the perimeter are lined with rows of trees which merge with a small wooded area along the northern border.
The playing field space is usually laid out to five football pitches overlapped by a central cricket pitch which is less frequently used.
A modern children's playground occupies the south east corner opposite Latchmere Primary School and St Agatha's RC Primary School to the south.
A small pavilion near to the playground was converted for general community use but was declared unsafe and demolished in 2008.
The manor was purchased by the Tollemache family in the early 19th-century, returning ownership to the Earl of Dysart's estate centred around Ham House.
The Tollemaches sold much of this area of north Kingston and southern Ham for piecemeal housing development during the late 1800s and made provision for recreation grounds in the area.
The field that became Latchmere Recreation Ground was used for cricket and a nearby area south of Latchmere Road on the Richmond Road was an athletics and rugby ground before becoming the home of Kingstonian F.C.
The site was included in of southern Ham transferred to the Municipal Borough of Kingston when Ham Urban District was abolished in 1933.
A high-explosive bomb fell near the site during the Blitz and in 1944 a V-1 flying bomb landed in the recreation ground, damaging nearby Latchmere School.
A study conducted in 2011 identified a deficit of public playing field facilities in the area close to Kingston town centre, highlighting the relative importance of the site.
In 2017 a community group, 'Friends of Latchmere Recreation Ground' (FoLaR) have formed to support the use and development of the site.
Plans for improving the natural environmental facilities by building a wildlife pond and possibly re-exposing part of the culverted Latchmere Stream have been proposed.
Latchmere Recreation Ground or Latchmere Park is a public open space with a children's playground in Battersea in the London Borough of Wandsworth.
Latchmere Recreation Ground is a slightly humped, quadrilateral-shaped area mostly laid out to amenity grass with trees and intermittent shrub beds around the perimeter and specimen trees in the interior.
Pedestrian access is via gateways opposite St James' Grove mid-way on the northern side which leads via a wide footpath to another due south on Burns Road.
This path intersects the other at a wide circular paved space then curves south to a second gateway further west on Burns Road.

The General Diamond Workers' Association of Belgium (, ADB; ) was a trade union representing workers in the diamond trade in Belgium.
Unlike many unions, it did not affiliate to the Belgian Workers Party, although almost all of its leading members were active in the party.
A group of members who wanted to work closely with the party split away in 1911, but after Louis Van Berckelaer was elected as leader of the ADB in 1912, he reunified the groups.
The union set up the Universal Alliance of Diamond Workers in 1905, and shared its headquarters with this small international trade secretariat.
The union gradually expanded into unionising diamond workers in the countryside, and in 1929 it set up De Daad, the most modern diamond cutting factory in Belgium at the time.
It affiliated to the General Federation of Belgian Labour, and membership peaked in 1955 at 12,304, then declined to only 2,694 by 1992.
At the start of 1994, it merged with the Union of Belgian Textile Workers and the Union of Clothing Workers and Kindred Trades in Belgium, to form the Textile-Clothing-Diamond Union.

It is found in the tropical West Indo-Pacific region, having a disjunct range, with the main population in island groups in the western Indian Ocean, and a separate population in the Philippines.
This species grows to a length of , has a characteristic body shape and a distinctive pattern of long tube feet on its dorsal surface, giving it a furry appearance; it is dappled or roughly barred in some shade of brown and white.
It has since been recorded in Mauritius, and there have been two records from the Philippines, Talikud Island in the south and Siquijor Island in the central Philippines.
It occurs in shallow water and is usually associated with reefs and reef slopes, but can occur on areas of soft sediment.
Surveys of sea cucumbers elsewhere in the Indo-Pacific region have not brought up sightings in the area between Mauritius and the Philippines.
Like other members of its genus, it probably does not use cuvierian tubules in self-defence, instead the tissues contain saponins, called holothurin, which may cause a fatal hemolysis in fish and other predatory organisms.
Individuals are either male or female, and in the breeding season, group together, raising themselves as high as possible to release their gametes into the sea.
Fertilisation takes place in the water column and the developing embryo passes through a free-swimming auricularia and a doliolaria stage before settling on the seabed and undergoing metamorphosis into a juvenile.
Although other members of its genus are gathered in the area for human consumption, this species does not seem to among them.

John Suter is a retired American sled dog racer most notable for having mushed standard poodles in various sled races, including the Iditarod.
His use of poodles led directly to new and current Iditarod rules that stipulate what breeds of dogs are qualified to race.
Suter bought a number of standard poodles and raised them side by side with huskies in order to prepare them as sled dogs.
Suter claims that the advantage of mushing poodles is that they will notice if the musher falls of the sled, turn around, and retrieve their driver.
The 2010 British Indoor Athletics Championships was the 4th edition of the national championship in indoor track and field for the United Kingdom.

Moukoko moved up to the U19s for the 2019/20 season at the age of 14, scoring six goals in his first match in the Under 19 Bundesliga in a 9-2 win against Wuppertaler SV.
He completed his first UEFA Youth League match on 17 September 2019 against FC Barcelona, becoming the youngest player to be fielded in this competition.
In a game against Inter Milan, the striker scored the 1-0 goal on 23 October of the same year, making him the youngest scorer in the Youth League.
According to the current DFB statutes, a compulsory match in the Bundesliga is possible from the 2021/22 season at the earliest.
Moukoko played for the German U16 national team for the first time on September 11, 2017 in a 3-1 victory over Austria.
Two days later, in his second match against the same opponent, he scored both goals for Germany in a 2-1 victory.
In order to protect Moukoko from too much media attention, the BVB and DFB decided not to continue using him in selected teams for the time being.
The question of whether his age is true or not is a matter of public debate and has been the subject of intense debate in the German sports press.
Moukoko's father repeatedly pointed out the authenticity of his son's birth certificate in numerous interviews and is proved by official documents.
In the first ten years of his life, Moukoko grew up with his grandparents in Cameroon's capital Yaoundé in an area, which was predominantly Muslim.
His father (* 1951), who has lived in Hamburg as a German citizen since the 1990s, brought his son to Germany in the summer of 2014.

Sakharam Ganesh Pandit (1875-1959), known as S. G. Pandit, was an Indian-American lawyer who successfully argued against US government efforts to remove the citizenship of Asian-Americans, including his own.
Born in Ahmedabad, British India to a Brahmin family, Pandit received both an undergraduate and a doctoral degree from universities in India.
Moving to the United States in 1906, Pandit initially made a living as a spiritual teacher in the tradition of Swami Vivekenanda, lecturing on topics such as the esoteric meanings of the life of Jesus.
The case stretched on for nine months, but Pandit was granted citizenship by the ruling of Judge Willis Morrison over the Bureau's objection, accepting his designation as white.
Subsequently, Pandit became a lawyer and was admitted to the California bar, as well as being admitted to the federal bar to argue appeals before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
As a result of his marriage, Pandit was disinherited by his family in India and lost his right to an inheritance of property in India.
The Court found that Thind, a high-caste Indian, was ineligible for United States citizenship because he did not qualify as white, despite Thind and Pandit's arguments to the contrary.
Pandit, a skilled lawyer, argued that under the doctrine of equitable estoppel, he would be irreversibly harmed by the revocation of his American citizenship, which he had reasonably relied upon - he would become stateless, lose his property and law license, and his wife would lose her citizenship as well.
In 1948, the Luce-Cellar Act removed racial qualifications for naturalization under United States law, although it set strict nationality-based quotas that limited immigration from many predominantly non-white countries.
Of these, one is at Grade II*, the middle of the three grades, and the others are at Grade II, the lowest grade.

Teams who lose their respective ties will compete in the relegation play-offs, with winning teams remaining in Group II, whereas teams who lose their play-offs will be relegated to the Europe/Africa Zone Group III in 1994.
The 30th Guards Rifle Division was reformed as an elite infantry division of the Red Army in May, 1942, based on the 1st formation of the 238th Rifle Division, and served in that role until after the end of the Great Patriotic War.
However, it was not assigned as a unit to the Corps until August when it joined 33rd Army of Western Front and saw extensive fighting, while also suffering extensive casualties, in the summer campaign against the German 3rd Panzer Army in the southern sector of the Rzhev salient.
After leaving 7th Guards Corps the division was reassigned to several other armies in the Front until April, 1943 when it joined the 15th Guards Rifle Corps in 30th Army, which became 10th Guards Army the next month; it would remain under these commands for the duration of the war.
By December the 30th Guards had been redeployed to 2nd Baltic Front and during the summer and fall of 1944 it took part in the offensives through the Baltic states, winning a battle honor for its part in the liberation of Riga.
For the rest of the war the division remained in Latvia helping to contain the German forces trapped in the Courland Peninsula, eventually coming under command of Leningrad Front.
The 238th had been originally formed on March 14, 1941 at Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan in the Central Asia Military District, based on the 499th Reserve Rifle Regiment, and so began with personnel mostly of Kazakh nationality.
On May 3, 1942 it was awarded the Order of the Red Banner in recognition of its leading role in taking the town of Aleksin from German 4th Army during the counteroffensive in front of Moscow and later the liberation of Kaluga.
Col. Andrei Danilovich Kuleshov remained in command of the division after redesignation; he would be promoted to the rank of major general on November 27.
It remained in this Army until August when it was reassigned to the 7th Guards Rifle Corps, along with 5th Guards and 17th Rifle Divisions, in 33rd Army.
In the planning for Western Front's summer offensive against the eastern face of the Rzhev salient at least one map-solution was prepared in June for a prospective offensive by 49th, 33rd and 5th Armies to seize Vyasma, although this came to nothing.
When the Army joined the offensive on August 13 it faced six German infantry regiments along the front line on its breakthrough sector but had only a 3.5:1 advantage in infantry and 1.6:1 in artillery, considerably less than the other Soviet armies involved, apart from 30th Army on the opposite end of the offensive front.
Given this relative weakness in force correlation and the fact that the main offensive had begun more than a week earlier, eliminating any element of surprise, the attack of 7th Guards Corps and the rest of 33rd Army soon faltered.
The Army resumed its offensive on August 24 and made some penetrations on 3rd Panzer's front, but these were soon contained.
From August 10 to September 15 the personnel losses of 33rd Army are listed as 42,327 killed, wounded and missing while gaining from 20-25km to the west and northwest.
In planning for this offensive Army Gen. G. K. Zhukov conceived a two-phase operation beginning against the northern part of the salient to be known as Operation Mars, with a subsequent phase to the south likely under the name of Operation Jupiter.
During October and November the German 9th Army noted a Soviet buildup in the sector east of Vyasma, including the 3rd Tank Army, two tank corps, and reinforcements for 5th Army, including 30th Guards.
Due to postponements Mars did not begin until November 25, at which time the start date for the second phase was tentatively set for December 1.
By then Mars was badly bogged down and although Zhukov continued to hope Jupiter could be implemented as late as December 9, on the 16th Stalin ordered the 3rd Tank Army to move south.
On the morning of December 11 it attacked with the 415th and 243rd Rifle Divisions on the Bolshoi Kropotovo - Podosinovka sector of the Vazuza bridgehead; this force advanced from 500 - 1,000m but was unable to take any of the fortified villages.
31st Army was the first to go on the pursuit and soon seized the first line of German trenches but then ran into serious resistance.
On March 22 three divisions of the Army attacked the prepared positions of the 337th Infantry Division at the base of the former salient but were soon brought to a standstill.
In April the division was reassigned to 30th Army, where it joined the 85th Guards Rifle Division to comprise the 15th Guards Rifle Corps.
In May, 30th Army was redesignated as 10th Guards Army; the 30th Guards would remain under the command of that Corps and Army for the duration of the war.
As a first echelon division the 30th Guards committed a battalion, reinforced with a few tanks and backed by artillery, to advance into the German security zone, which was 2-3km deep and held by platoon-sized outposts.
German resistance proved stiff and gave up little ground; much of the German fire plan was uncovered but at the cost of any remaining tactical surprise.
10th Guards was on the right, closer to Yelnya, with the 15th and 19th Guards Rifle Corps on a 10km-wide sector between Mazovo and Sluzna.
The German defense rested on the positions that had been built at the base of the Rzhev salient, and were occupied by the XII Army Corps.
15th Guards Corps, on the other hand, went into the attack some time later and began slowly pushing back the 499th Regiment of the 268th Infantry Division.
By the early afternoon the Front commander, Col. Gen. V. D. Sokolovskii, was becoming concerned about the inability of most of his units to advance.
While this was a questionable decision on some levels, it did lead to a battalion of the 499th Regiment being overrun near Kamenka.
Overall the German position on this first day remained tenable because the offensive was a series of localized attacks rather an all-out effort to overwhelm 4th Army.
The operation resumed at 0730 hours on August 8 after a 30-minute artillery preparation, but 19th Guards Corps continued to be held up by what amounted to a battalion.
Over the next three days the reinforced 10th Guards tried repeatedly to smash through the lines of XII Corps, particularly at Hill 233.3, as Army Group Center kept feeding in reinforcements from 9th Army to plug the weak spots.
Finally, with the help of 33rd Army, the German position was overcome and their forces began towards the Yelnya - Spas-Demensk railway late on August 11.
By the end of the next day lead elements of 10th Guards Army were approaching Pavlinovo and some had already reached the rail line.
Sokolovskii had been ordered to renew the drive by August 28 and it began at 0800 hours with a 90-minute artillery preparation across a 25km-wide front southeast of Yelnya on the sectors of 10th Guards, 33rd and 21st Armies.
10th Guards and 21st Army attacked towards Terenino station against Battle Group Vincenz which contested the advance for about eight hours before it was shattered and began falling back to the Ugra River.
On the 29th the 10th Guards mopped up the German remnants that had not made it over the Ugra before boldly pushing up the rail line towards Yelnya.
On August 30 the Army continued to make good progress, pushing back the 342nd Infantry Division with the 29th Guards Division and 119th Tank Regiment in the lead.
However, despite the German 4th Army being in dire straits, Sokolovskii's forces were again nearly out of fuel and ammunition; in addition nine of his rifle divisions were reduced to 3,000 men or less.
It recommenced at 0545 hours on September 15 with another 90-minute artillery attack against the positions of the IX Army Corps west of Yelnya; the Corps was assigned to hold a 40km-wide front with five decimated divisions.
At 1030 hours the 10th Guards Army struck the left flank of 330th Infantry Division with a mass of infantry and tanks, pushing back two battalions.
Through the day several small penetrations were made but at most only 3km were gained despite the right flank of IX Corps being mauled.
15th Guards Corps attacked the northern flank of 342nd Infantry just north of the Yelnya - Smolensk rail line but failed to make any substantive gains.
Nevertheless, at 1600 hours on September 16 the 4th Army commander, Col. Gen. G. Heinrici, ordered IX Corps to withdraw to the next defensive line.
After detecting the withdrawal, Sokolovskii issued orders for 10th Guards and 68th armies and most of his armor to pursue the left wing of IX Corps and approach Smolensk from the south.
While the Soviet troops were inspired by the prospect of a major victory at hand they were also nearing exhaustion and again low on supplies; Sokolovskii was forced to call a pause for a few days.
10th Guards Army played no role in this, having bypassed the city to the south, but was soon pulled out of the line to regroup.
On the same date the lead elements of 10th Guards Army reached positions from Lyady southward along the Mereya River to the town of Baevo.
In anticipation of an attack on October 3 the new Army commander, Lt. Gen. A. V. Sukhomlin, deployed his 15th Guards Corps north of 19th Guards Corps in first echelon, with 7th Guards Corps in reserve.
The Army's main attack sector was at the boundary between XXVII Army Corps' 18th Panzergrenadier Division and XXXIX Panzer Corps' 25th Panzergrenadier Division.
When the attack began as scheduled the division was reinforced by the 662nd and 188th Artillery, 317th Mortar and 132nd Antitank Artillery Regiments and spent four days assaulting the strong German defenses at Lyady before overcoming them on the night of October 8.
This maneuver, along with the advances of 31st and 68th Armies to the north, forced the two panzergrenadier divisions to begin a fighting withdrawal to the west.
The advance detachments of the Army reached the eastern approaches to Dubrovno, 15km east of Orsha, by the end of October 11.
A new offensive was to begin on October 12 led by assault groups formed by five of his armies, including 10th Guards.
These were to advance to the west from the region north and south of Baevo toward Orsha on a 15km-wide penetration sector.
General Sukhomlin deployed his Army with the 15th and 19th Guards Corps abreast; 15th Guards Corps was on the right wing with 85th Guards in first echelon and 30th Guards in second.
The attack began with an artillery preparation that lasted 85 minutes, but 10th Guards stalled almost immediately with severe losses and no appreciable gains.
The assault was renewed the next day after a short artillery fire raid, with the division being committed from second echelon, but with no better results against the German forces defending the villages of Lapyrevshchina and Arvianitsa, several kilometres northwest of Baevo.
While this sector was more heavily defended, General Sokolovskii calculated that the presence of the highway and the railway would ease resupply.
The Army was reinforced from 5th Army; 15th Guards Corps received a third division, and all the Front's divisions received personnel mobilized from the liberated territories which increased their strength to 4,000-4,500 men each.
The 15th and 19th Guards Corps both were deployed with one division in first echelon and the other two in second.
While this extensive regrouping produced a powerful shock group astride the highway and to its north and south, it also committed many units to attack on unfamiliar sectors which increased confusion in Soviet ranks.
31st Army struck the advance positions of the 197th Infantry Division, punched through, and was reinforced by 19th Guards Corps the next day.
Over the following days the 10th Guards Army managed to clear the German defenders from the bogs south of the Verkhita River but was finally halted at nightfall on October 26 well short of the rail station at Osintori; Sokolovskii now ordered a suspension of the offensive.
10th Guards and 31st armies had gained just 4-6km in five days of fighting at a cost of 4,787 killed and 14,315 wounded.
The 30th Guards was facing the 215th Infantry Regiment of the 78th Assault Division, still south of the Smolensk - Minsk highway.
A postwar account described the 10th Guards' offensive:In the face of heavy German counterattacks this proved to be the limit of the initial Soviet advance.
General Sukhomlin renewed the attack on November 17 with the 15th Guards Corps, in conjunction with the 70th Rifle Corps of 31st Army and supported by two brigades of 2nd Guards Tank Corps.
This split the boundary between the 78th Assault and 25th Panzergrenadiers and finally took the village of Novoe Selo, but again stalled.
Later that month it was transferred to 2nd Baltic Front in the Velikiye Luki region; this move began on December 8 and was completed by December 31 after covering 210km.
Sukhomlin requested two to three weeks to train and incorporate these new men, but the Army was ordered to return to action by January 14, 1944.
On January 18 General Kuleshov was moved to the position of deputy chief of staff of 2nd Baltic Front; he would eventually become the commander of 7th Guards Rifle Corps.
Col. Mikhail Aleksandrovich Isaev took over command of the division; he would be promoted to the rank of major general on June 3.
10th Guards Army had been deployed into the salient northwest of Nevel and south of Pustoshka, between the 3rd and 4th Shock Armies, with the intention of helping to eliminate the German-held salient north of Nevel with its base at Novosokolniki.
However, its deployment was delayed by the need to replenish its forces, while Army Group North surprised the Soviet command by beginning a phased withdrawal from the salient on December 29, which was completed six days later.
As of July 1 the 15th Guards Corps consisted of the 29th, 30th and 85th Guards Divisions, and the 30th was facing the defenses of the Panther Line along the Alolya River due east of Opochka.
One month later the division had advanced well west of that city and had crossed the border into Latvia in the vicinity of Kārsava.
The pace of the advance slowed over the next six weeks and by mid-September the 15th Guards Corps was located near Lubāna and Gulbene.
In the first days of October the division was north of the Daugava River on the approaches to Riga near Ogre.
It took part in the battle for the Latvian capital and was awarded its name as an honorific:Following this victory the division remained in Latvia and Lithuania for the duration of the war.
On November 6, General Isaev was given command of 15th Guards Corps and was replaced in command of the division by Lt. Col. Ivan Anisimovich Fadeikin, but on February 17, 1945 Isaev returned to his former command for the duration.
As of May 1 the 30th Guards was in the Kurland Group of Leningrad Front, helping to maintain the encirclement of the German forces in the Courland Pocket.
It remained in the Baltic states until the next year, when it was converted to the 30th Separate Guards Rifle Brigade.

The Angola–Republic of the Congo border is 231 km (143 m) in length and runs from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the tripoint with the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the east.
The border starts in the west at the Atlantic coast, between Lake Cayo (COG) and Lake Massabi (AGO), proceeding to the north-east via straight line segments and some irregular overland lines.
Portugal had begun exploring the coast of modern Angola in the 1480s, and over the following century established a number of coastal settlements, gradually expanding into the interior at the expense of the native kingdoms of Kongo, Matamba, Ndongo and others.
Portugal had established a tentative presence in what is now Cabinda in 1783, a claim recognised in an Anglo-Portuguese treaty of 22 January 1815.
In the 1880s numerous European powers sought to create colonies in the continent a process known as the Scramble for Africa; this culminated in the Berlin Conference of 1884, in which the European nations concerned agreed upon their respective territorial claims and the rules of engagements going forward.
As a result, Portugal's claim to Cabinda was recognised, at the expense of Portugal's giving up a short section of coast to the Congo Free State of Belgian King Leopold II, thereby cutting off Cabinda from mainland Angola.
France gained recognition of its coastal settlements, as well as the interior lands explored by Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza for France in Central Africa (roughly equivalent to modern Gabon and the Republic of Congo).
France and Portugal signed a border treaty on 12 May 1886 delimiting the western section of the frontier, which was later extended to its current limit by a further treaty of 23 January 1901.
France gradually granted more political rights and representation for its African colonies, culminating in the granting of broad internal autonomy to each colony in 1958 within the framework of the French Community.

The Swansea Rifles, later the 6th (Glamorgan) Battalion of the Welch Regiment, was a Volunteer unit of the British Army from 1859 to 1954.
It continued in the postwar Territorial Army (TA) as a heavy anti-aircraft artillery regiment until amalgamated with other Welsh units in 1954.
The enthusiasm for the Volunteer movement following an invasion scare in 1859 saw the creation of many Rifle Volunteer Corps (RVCs) composed of part-time soldiers eager to supplement the Regular British Army in time of need.
One such unit was the 3rd (Swansea Rifles) Glamorganshire RVC formed in Swansea on 12 October 1859, under the command of the local industrialist and Member of Parliament, Lewis Llewelyn Dillwyn, who was commissioned as Captain.
From February 1861 the unit was attached to the 2nd Administrative Battalion, Glamorganshire RVCs, based in Swansea, but it soon reached a strength of four companies and became an independent corps under the command of Dillwyn, now promoted to Major, and the Admin Battalion was broken up some time in 1862.
In 1864 the 5th Glamorgan RVC at Penllergaer was attached from the 1st Admin Bn to the Swansea Rifles but was disbanded in 1873.
Dillwyn continued to command the unit (which was often known as 'Dillwyn's') for many years, rising to Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant in 1877 and full Colonel in 1888.
In 1881, while inspecting the troops after they had completed a week's training, he fell from his horse and sustained serious injuries.
Dillwyn was succeeded in command by John Crow Richardson of Glanbrydan Park, who had enlisted in the unit as a Private in December 1859 and was commissioned as Ensign in 1864.
Under the 'Localisation of the Forces' scheme introduced by the Cardwell Reforms of 1872, Volunteers were grouped into county brigades with their local Regular and Militia battalions.
The 3rd Glamorgan was placed with the 41st (Welch) and 69th Foot in Brigade No 24 (Pembroke, Carmarthen and Glamorgan) in Western District.
The Childers Reforms of 1881 took Cardwell's reforms further, the linked battalions became single regiments and the Volunteers were formally affiliated to their local Regular regiment.
The 41st and 69th combined to form the Welsh Regiment (Welch Regiment from 1920) and the 3rd Glamorgan RVC became a six-company Volunteer Battalion of the regiment.
It ranked as the regiment's 4th VB, but did not change its traditional title, despite the potential for confusion with the regiment's 3rd (Glamorgan) VB at Pontypridd.
When a comprehensive mobilisation scheme for the Volunteers was established after the Stanhope Memorandum of December 1888, the 3rd Glamorgan RVC was assigned to the Welsh Brigade, the South Wales Brigade from 1895, then the Severn Brigade charged with defending the ports of the Severn Estuary, and back to the Welsh Brigade by 1902.
A detachment of volunteers from the battalion served in the Second Boer War, winning the unit its first Battle honour: South Africa 1900–1902.
The battalion expanded to nine companies in 1900, and then to twelve in 1905 when the Swansea personnel (C, D and E Companies) of the 2nd VB were transferred to it.
On 9 March 1911 Lord Ninian Crichton-Stuart, second son of the 3rd Marquess of Bute of Cardiff Castle,was commissioned Lt-Col in the battalion and took command the following year.
On the outbreak of war on 4 August 1914, units of the TF were invited to volunteer for Overseas Service and Lt-Col Crichton-Stuart volunteered his battalion.
On 31 August 1914, the War Office authorised the formation of a reserve or 2nd Line unit for each TF unit where 60 per cent or more of the men had volunteered for Overseas Service.
Crichton-Stuart addressed the unit at the drill hall in Swansea prior to their departure, saying 'The greatest honour a man can receive is that he has been provided with a chance to give, if need be, the greatest that he has, which is his life, for his country.
Based at Boulogne and Saint-Omer the men were employed in handling railway traffic, escorting prisoners, and providing carrying and burial parties.
In 1915 a number of the TF battalions in France were used to reinforce the weak brigades of the Regular divisions.
On 5 July 1915 1/6th Bn joined 84th Bde of 28th Division, in which the 1st Bn Welsh Regiment had been serving since its return from India in late 1914.
At 20.00 on 1 October the 1st Welsh launched a surprise attack on 'Little Willie' trench, a section of which they captured despite heavy casualties.
The 1st Welsh were cut off and supplies of food, water and ammunition could not be carried to them across No man's land.
But it was too late: the 1st Welsh had to be withdrawn from Little Willie under covering fire from the 1/6th Welsh.
One report stated that Crichton-Stuart was preparing to lead a counter-attack to recover his close friend Maj Reginald Browning of 1/6th Bn who was still in the abandoned trench.
Major Browning is commemorated on the Loos Memorial to the Missing, together with 19 other men of 1/6th Bn (and many more from 1st Bn) who died on 1–2 October 1915 and have no known grave.
On 19 October 1915 28th Division was given warning orders for a move overseas (it eventually went to Salonika) and the 1/6th Bn's period of attachment ended on 23 October when it transferred to 3rd Bde in 1st Division, in which 2nd Welsh were serving.
On 15 May 1916, the 1/6th Welsh became the Pioneer Battalion of 1st Division, a role that it carried out for the rest of the war.
The role of divisional pioneers was to provide working parties to assist the divisional Royal Engineers in tasks ranging from trench digging and wiring, to road making, while remaining fighting soldiers.
After the Armistice with Germany came into force on 11 November 1918, 1st Division was ordered to the Rhine as part of the occupation forces.
The primary role of 2nd Line battalions at this stage was to train reinforcement drafts for their 1st Line battalions serving overseas.
In November 1915 the 2nd Line battalions of the independent South Wales Brigade were absorbed by units of the 68th (2nd Welsh) Division concentrating at Bedford for home defence as part of First Army (Home Forces) of Central Force.
The 2/6th Welsh were absorbed by the 2/5th (Flintshire) Bn, Royal Welch Fusiliers, which remained in home defence until it was disbanded in March 1918.
It was redesignated 6th (Glamorgan) Reserve Battalion on 8 April 1916 and on 1 September 1916 was absorbed into the regiment's 4th Reserve Bn.
On 31 December 1921 the 6th (Glamorgan) Bn absorbed the 7th (Cyclist) Bn of the Welch Regiment (as it now spelled its title) at Cardiff.
In the 1930s the increasing need for anti-aircraft (AA) defence for Britain's cities was addressed by converting a number of TA infantry battalions into searchlight (S/L) units.
The 6th Welch was one unit selected for this role, becoming 6th (Glamorgan) Battalion, Welch Regiment (67th Searchlight Regiment) on 1 November 1938, with HQ, 450, 451 and 452 S/L Companies at 8 St Andrews Crescent, Cardiff.
In June a partial mobilisation of the TA was begun in a process known as 'couverture', whereby each AA unit did a month's tour of duty in rotation to man selected AA and S/L positions.
In the absence of sufficient light AA (LAA) guns, a number of Vital Points (VPs) were defended by Lewis guns (LGs) manned by S/L crews.
There was little activity during the so-called Phoney War period, but this ended on 10 May with the German invasion of the Low Countries.
45 AA Brigade's units – particularly the widely spaced S/L sites – were ordered to find rifle and LG detachments to guard against possible attacks by German paratroopers.
Five infantry riflemen were temporarily assigned to each S/L site, of which 67th S/L Rgt had two near Swansea and 37 around Newport (67th had to find their own additional riflemen for four of these sites).
If paratroops had landed, these detachments would have been sent out to hunt them down or form roadblocks and picquets round them until reinforcements arrived.
67th S/L Regiment was ordered to have three 'flying columns' of riflemen in lorries ready at 15 minutes' notice to reinforce these detachments.
On 28 June 67th S/L Rgt was ordered to hand over its VPs at Port Talbot to a new LAA unit and move the detachments to Clanna, near Bridgend, to increase the S/L concentration in the Cardiff Gun Defence Area (GDA).
On 1 August 1940 all S/L units were transferred to the Royal Artillery (RA), the 6th Bn Welch becoming 67th (Welch) Searchlight Regiment and the S/L companies were redesignated as batteries.
During the summer the AA defences of South Wales were bolstered by a number of units that had been re-equipped after evacuation from Dunkirk and Norway.
The number of raids over South Wales, and the number of times the S/Ls and guns engaged, increased sharply at the end of August.
The expansion of AA Command led to 5th AA Division being split up, South Wales coming under the command of 9th AA Division.
45 AA Brigade was split in two, the Swansea defences being taken over by a new 61 AA Bde, while 45 AA Bde concentrated round the Cardiff GDA (covering Barry and Newport as well as Cardiff).
The S/L detachments were widely spread across brigade boundaries and there was an experiment to use S/Ls in a 'Cardiff–Newport Dazzle Area'.
As part of AA Command's expansion, 67th S/L Rgt supplied a cadre of experienced men to provide the basis for 536 S/L Battery formed on 12 December 1940 at 230 S/L Training Rgt at Blandford Camp with personnel mainly from Newcastle upon Tyne.
Much of this was directed against London, but Cardiff was heavily bombed on 2 January, Swansea on 19 and 20 February, and Cardiff again on 3 and 4 March (the Cardiff Blitz).
After a busy period for the AA defences of South Wales in early May 1941, the Blitz effectively ended in the middle of the month.
Desultory raiding continued through June and July while the gaps in AA defences were filled as more equipment and units became available.
Searchlights, now assisted by Searchlight Control (SLC or 'Elsie') radar, were reorganised, with a 'Killer Belt' established between the Cardiff and Bristol GDAs to cooperate closely with RAF night fighters.
However, during September 1942 451 and 452 S/L Btys were attached to 11th AA Division, which covered the West Midlands of England.
By early November the whole of 67th S/L Rgt moved to 54 AA Bde in 4 AA Gp, covering the Birmingham–Coventry area.
In mid-1943, AA Command was being forced to release manpower for overseas service, particularly Operation Overlord (the planned Allied invasion of Normandy).
After September 1943, 54 AA Bde only had 67 S/L Rgt under its command, and the brigade HQ began disbanding on 28 November.
67th Searchlight Rgt was one of those selected for conversion, and on 4 November 1944 was redesignated 67th (Welch) Garrison Regiment, RA.
In January 1945, the War Office accelerated the conversion of surplus artillery into infantry units, primarily for line of communication and occupation duties, thereby releasing trained infantry for frontline service.
It went to North West Europe in May and did duty with 306 Infantry Brigade on the Lines of Communication for 21st Army Group after VE Day.
When the TA was reconstituted on 1 January 1947, 66th S/L Rgt was reformed at Cardiff as 602 (Welch) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Rgt.
Now equipped with Heavy AA guns rather than S/Ls, it formed part of 71 AA Bde (the former 45 AA Bde at Cardiff).
After several more rounds of mergers the lineage is continued in 211 (South Wales) Bty in today's 104th Regiment Royal Artillery.
A new 6th Bn Welch Regiment was formed on 1 October 1956 by the redesignation of 16th (Welsh) Bn, Parachute Regiment.
The original uniform of the 3rd (Swansea Rifles) Glamorganshire RVC was scarlet with green facings, changing to white facings in the 1890s.
During World War I members of the 6th Welch were presented with ribbons in the regimental colours of white/red/dark green by the CO's wife, Lady Crichton-Stuart.
This ribbon was worn as a regimental flash, divided vertically into three equal sections, by 602 (M) HAA Rgt from 1947 to 1954.
The battalion's World War I memorial is in Christ Church (Garrison Church of Swansea), Oystermouth Road, Swansea, consisting of a brass plate with 298 names of men who died on service.
Crichton-Stuart's coat of arms appears on a shield in the Chamber of the House of Commons along with those of 18 other MPs who died in World War I.
When three years old, Jeevarani used to dance, sing lullabies, poems and do various mimics in front of parents and relatives.
Born in Felsővisó, Ferenczy served from March 1940 to July 1942 with a unit that searched for Jews who had fled to Hungary from Slovakia.
After Nazi Germany's invasion of Hungary in March 1944, he was appointed—on 25 March—as liaison between the Hungarian Royal Gendarmerie and the German security police, which meant he worked closely with SS officer Adolf Eichmann.
Randolph Braham writes that Ferenczy's office was on the second floor of the Lomnic Hotel in the Svábhegy district of Budapest, near Eichmann's office in the Majestic Hotel.
During the Holocaust in Hungary in the spring and summer of 1944, Ferenczy helped to organize the deportation of over 434,000 of Hungary's Jews to the Auschwitz concentration camp in occupied Poland, where most were gassed on arrival.
When Miklós Horthy, the Hungarian regent, ordered an end to the deportations in July, Ferenczy appeared to switch sides and in August made contact with the Budapest Aid and Rescue Committee, which was trying to make deals with Eichmann to halt the deportations.
In October, when Ferenc Szálasi, head of the pro-Nazi Arrow Cross Party, became prime minister, Ferenczy was once again placed in charge of rounding up and deporting Jews.
She was named after C. W. Post, an American inventor, breakfast cereal and foods manufacturer and a pioneer in the prepared-food industry.
C. F. Rich & Sønner traces its history back to 1 August 1834 when Caspar Friderich Paulus Rich (1800-1874) purchased a coffee substitute factory established by artillery lieutenant Jacob Luders von Høyer.
The company was after Rich's death in 1874 continued by his sons Georg Rich (1839–1916) and Hans Adolph Rich (1846–1923) under the name C. F. Rich & Sønner's Kaffesurrogatfabrik.
Rich's coffee substitute experienced a renaissance during World War II when real coffee was unavailable with daily sales of up to 225,000 åackets.
Rich's was from 1925 and up until the 1970s marketed with the use of trading cards with a wide range of an encyclopedic topics.
At the end of December 1779, a large fleet sailed from Great Britain under the command of Admiral Sir George Brydges Rodney, being one of the purposes of this British fleet to resupply Gibraltar, a place that was blocked by land and sea by the Spaniards.
During the trip, Rodney intercepted a Spanish convoy of the Royal Guipuzcoan Company of Caracas at Cape Finisterre on 8 January 1780, capturing it completely.
At that time, the British maintained contact with the British forces there, at least until 1782 when the Spaniards conquered the island, sending fast sailships to avoid the Spanish blockade.
From the naval station of Punta del Carnero, an enclave south of Algeciras, two square-rigged xebecs of the Spanish Navy sailed to chase the British ship.
The British ship had a crew of 138 men, taken prisoners, once they were marinated by a Spanish contingent in charge of Lieutenant Miguel Pedrueca.
The University had changed its name to the 'University of Pittsburgh' in the summer of 1908 but did not adopt the Panther as its mascot until November of 1909.
The Siege of Quebec also known as the Second Siege of Quebec was an unsuccessful French attempt to retake Quebec City in New France which had been captured by Britain the previous year.
The siege lasted from 29 April until 15 May when British ships arrived to relieve the city which compelled the French commander Francis de Gaston, Chevalier de Lévis to break off the siege and retreat.
The British capture of Montreal a few months later largely ended French resistance and completed the Conquest of Canada, which was confirmed by the Treaty of Paris.
In 1759 a British expedition led by James Wolfe had sailed up the St Lawrence River and laid siege to Quebec.
After an initial failure at the Battle of Beauport, Wolfe managed to defeat the French field army under Louis-Joseph de Montcalm at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham on 13 September 1759.
After Montcalm's death during the battle, the French armies outside Quebec retreated westwards despite their numerical supremacy - leaving the garrison of Quebec exposed to the British.
The retreating French troops had reached the Jacques-Cartier River, where they came under the command of Francis de Gaston, Chevalier de Lévis on 17 September 1759.
He initially hoped to lead his force back to recapture Quebec directly, but it became clear that such an immediate attack was impossible, he decided to postpone any attempt until the following year.
In spite his decision not to attack, rumours continued to circulate around Quebec throughout the winter that a major French assault was imminent.
French patrols continued to operate and a position was even set up at Saint-Augustin close to Quebec until it was captured in a surprise attack by the British using snow shoes.
Lévis prepared his attack during the winter, and sent a message to Paris in October 1759 asking for reinforcements, siege artillery and supplies to be sent to Quebec as soon as possible.
He had around 7,000 troops, around half were French regulars the remainder were Canadian militia and Native allies, and twelve artillery pieces.
Some of the British expedition who had captured Quebec the previous autumn departed shortly afterwards with the fleet, leaving Murray with around 7,000 troops to defend the city.
Because of a variety of ailments, shortages of food and weather a thousand of these troops had died, and two thousand more were ill, meaning Murray had only around 4,000 men in condition to fight.
Murray received warning of the French approach on the morning of 27 April costing Lévis the element of surprise he had hoped for.
Murray's response to the appearance of Lévis and his force outside the city was to march out and take up a strong defensive position.
He hoped Lévis would attack him, but it also allowed Murray time to withdraw his outposts of light infantry, some of them at Cap Rouge, who would otherwise have been cut off.
Instead, during the night, he chose to move his army to outflank Murray, using the woods on the British left as cover.
Faced with this new threat Murray, withdrew to a new position close to where the Battle of the Plains of Abraham had been fought the previous the previous September.
Murray had 3,800 troops in the field, virtually every soldier in Quebec fit to carry a musket, and Lévis had a similar number of men to hand although further forces were on their way.
The battle began when Murray saw that the French main body were still on the march and weren't yet formed up.
Their advance was slowed by the ground, a mixture of half-melted snow and mud, and by the time the two sides engaged the French were prepared for them.
Initially the British had success, driving the outlying French back from their strong points, and sending panic through the French ranks that led to them fleeing to the nearby woods.
The battle had been just as bloodier than that fought a year before, Lévis had suffered 833 killed and wounded while the British under Murray had taken 1,088 casualties (nearly a third of his force).
Seeing that there was no chance of salvaging the situation, Murray retreated his remaining forces back into the city and prepared to hold out in the hope that relief would arrive up the Saint Lawrence for the defenders.
Lévis had similar hopes, although he was realistic about the chances of any French relief as he brought up the rest of his forces and began to prepare to lay siege to the city.
On 29 April, the day after the battle, the siege commenced but Levis had not intended to besiege Quebec since he had to wait for reinforcements from France.
As a result, he chose not to make an immediate assault; Lévis' troops were too exhausted and was uncertain of the quality of some of the militiamen.
Lévis however refused to open fire with any cannon or mortars until he had forty guns in line intending to open up a devastating barrage.
Murray meanwhile drew up plans, if the city were to fall to the French, to withdraw to the Île d'Orléans to the east and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
As the French siege works began to take shape morale plummeted for the British and teetered on the brink of anarchy.
One man was hanged on the spot for endemic drunkenness and had all the liquor in the Lower Town poured away or destroyed.
Nevertheless, the French siege works were soon being bombarded with considerable accuracy and by May 1 order, subordination, hope, and almost confidence were completely restored in Murray's army.
The city's defences however had been shattered by the previous year's bombardment, and it had even been suggested after its capture that the British should simply destroy the fortifications and abandon the city.
The weakness of the city's defences had a major impact on his decision to confront the French in open battle rather than remain in the city.
In addition such was the shortage of men that British officers strapped themselves into harnesses to help haul cannon into the Lower Town.
Concerned that a hostile population would add to his problems, Murray had tried to exhibit kindness to the local inhabitants provided they disarm and swear allegiance to George II.
Murray had previously expelled a number of inhabitants from the city suspected of supplying intelligence to the French and of encouraging British troops to desert.
The French cannons were too weak to batter down the city's defences, while the British were not strong enough to march out and drive off the more numerous French.
Lévis rested his hopes on the prospect of reinforcements arriving from France, boosting his strength and allowing him to take the city.
The French first minister, the Duc de Choiseul, believed that French prospects were better in Europe and planned another major attack in Germany.
The French hoped that if they were able to win a major victory in Germany and occupy the Electorate of Hanover they would be able to negotiate the return of Canada in exchange for it when peace was agreed.
An added consideration was the heavy naval defeats the British had inflicted on the French at the battles of Lagos and Quiberon Bay the previous year and a near constant blockade of the French ports meant that their navy effectively ceased to function.
In an effort to show the Canadians they had not been completely abandoned, a small group of supply ships were sent carrying 400 troops - well short of the sort of reinforcement that Lévis required and only one frigate could be spared as an escort.
Even this limited relief was weakened when blockading British forces captured three of the transports shortly after they had sailed from Bordeaux in early April.
When the British fleet had sailed the previous year, Admiral Saunders had detached several ships to Halifax in Nova Scotia with orders to return to Quebec as soon as the ice melted.
The ship however turned out to be , a 28-gun frigate detached from a squadron under Lord Colville who were just outside the Saint Lawrence.
Lévis and the French were in despair and realised Quebec had to be bombarded into submission as quickly as possible before the main British force arrived.
Two days later at noon the French batteries finally opened against the walls of Québec that was not built to bear the brunt of heavy shot.
Since taking the city he British had built new embrasures within the walls which would enable the gunners to direct heavy counter battery fire on the French.
By contrast the British were soon able to bring many heavy guns to bear on the French positions, having unloaded a number of guns from the fleet before it had sailed, and had plentiful supplies of ammunition.
So heavy was the British bombardment that the French had to withdraw their main camp about a mile to protect it.
It grew so dangerous in the French entrenchments that it was reported that the Canadians had to be paid half a dollar a day to work there.
The French relief expedition having managed to get through the British blockade commanded by François-Chenard Giraudais reached the mouth of the St Lawrence only to discover that the British ships had entered through it six days earlier.
Having arrived too late, the French didn't want to risk being cut off if another fleet of British ships came up from behind.
Just after dusk on May 15 the first of Commodore Colville's five ships of the line appeared below the Île d'Orléans with two fresh British regiments from Louisbourg.
The frigates were then able to line up against the French trenches to enfilade them with grape and round shot which forced their abandonment.
Murray at the same time having no longer being felt constrained by his ammunition supplies then unleashed a tremendous barrage of artillery fire against the French as he intended to launch an attack against the French siege positions the next morning.
A total of 2,913 shots were fired by the British on this day alone which was enough to drive the French from their trenches once more.
The destruction of the French vessels was a death-blow to the hopes of Lévis, for they contained his stores of food and ammunition.
With the bombardment knocking out his guns and causing casualties Lévis resolved to wait for the night before retiring after which he hastened to raise the siege, leaving behind his sick and wounded as well as the siege camp.
Deserters from Lévis' camp then told Murray that the French were in full retreat; from which all the British batteries opened fire at random through the darkness, and sent cannonballs ricocheting over the Plains of Abraham on the heels of the retreating French army.
He pushed over the marsh to Ancienne-Lorette but, though the British captured many French stragglers they failed to overtake the main body.
The British naval presence was reinforced on 18 May with the arrival of Lord Colville's squadron, and two days later merchant ships carrying vital supplies started to arrive which thus marked the end of the French siege.
British losses during the siege only came to around thirty killed or wounded, although there still around 1,000 sick from disease.For the French losses were heavy; they lost altogether 350 killed or wounded.
Such was the need to make a hasty retreat that Levis did not spike many of the guns - 55 of which were seized; of these ten were heavy mortars.
After its failure to proceed up the St Lawrence the French relief convoy had taken shelter in the Restigouche River, where there were still Acadian inhabitants loyal to France.
With Murray's forces substantially increased in Quebec, the city thus became a staging point for the conquest of the remainder of French Canada.
Separate forces under Jeffery Amherst and William Haviland would advance from Lake Ontario in the west along the St Lawrence River and from upper New York via the Richelieu River respectively.
James Murray led the third prong of 4,000 men advancing from Quebec down the St Lawrence River and approaching the Island of Montreal from the east.
Faced with such overwhelming numbers the Governor Marquis de Vaudreuil ordered Lévis, who had wanted to fight, to lay down his arms.
The French government's hopes of offsetting their loss of Canada with victories in Europe was frustrated by a series of victories by the Anglo-German forces led by the Duke of Brunswick.
Added to this further French colonies, particularly in the valuable West Indies, were lost and it was agreed in the negotiations ahead of the Treaty of Paris that France would permanently ceded Canada to the British in exchange for the return of Guadeloupe and Martinique.
Quebec would endure another siege in 1775, the third in sixteen years during the American War of Independence when American rebel forces participating in the Invasion of Canada.
The attack failed and the arrival of British ships down the St Lawrence the following Spring forced the Americans to abandon their attempt, in a situation very similar to the relief of 1760.

Rome successfully campaigned at grassroots levels at getting standardized absorbency ratings onto tampons, and was a consumer representative for the Food and Drug Administration in bringing about a partial moratorium on silicone-gel breast implants in 1992.
Before her death, she was co-authoring a book on women's health issues in relation to her wish to accommodate their partners in a close relationship.
Rome was one of 12 women memorialized by the Women's Community Cancer Project of the Women's Center of Cambridge in 1998.
She was the youngest child of store owners Leo and Rose (née Deutsch) Seidman, and was the granddaughter of immigrant retailers.
In 1962, Rome graduated from Norwich Free Academy and enrolled at Brandeis University, where she graduated cum laude with a bachelor of arts degree in art in 1966.
Afterward, she went to Harvard Graduate School of Education, and graduated with a Master of Arts degree in teaching two years later.
Rome had a liking for medicine since the second grade; she decided during her childhood she could not focus on becoming a doctor because very few women had entered this field in her era.
In mid 1969, She began a career as a women's health advocate in changing the organization and delivery of healthcare for women.
The workshop transpired to be influential in 12 women, including Rome, establishing the Boston Women's Health Book Collective (later renamed to Our Bodies, Ourselves in 1971), and worked as a staffer at its office in Somerville, Massachusetts.
The book, which initially discussed abortion and birth control, was updated and expanded, and later published in several languages on a mass scale by Simon & Schuster in 1973.
From the 1970s onward, Rome understood that sexually transmitted infections (STI) had become an important concern for women, and recognized advice provided to those about the diseases were primarily directed from the perspective of males.
Rome then created STI-prevention stickers for distribution into women's public restrooms and other places where women were able to notice them.
She became involved in tampon safety in the 1980s through the American Society for Testing and Materials’ Tampon Task Force after it was determined that tampons had became associated with toxic shock syndrome.
Her campaigning at the grassroots level prompted the passage of legislation to mandate standardized absorbency ratings of tampons, which included a warning and a pamphlet to inform individuals of the possible risks and safe usage of their products.
From 1988 until her death in 1994, Rome was involved in lobbying the Food and Drug Administration as a consumer representative to study a possibilities of hazards of silicone-gel breast implants and sought to regulate them.
She also ran a Boston-based support group for women who suffered from health issues from having implants inserted into their breasts.
Rome provided those in the television and printed press with information to inform the public about those problems, and put a fight of women who were pressured to change their physical appearance in a larger scene.
The book was published in 1996 and analyses health issues arising from domestic violence, starvation diets and cosmetic surgery in relation to a women's wish to accommodate their partners in a close relationship.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998; treatment to lessen the effects of the disease were unsuccessful and she continued to work throughout her illness.
She was a feminist, practiced Judaism, celebrated the Sabbath with her family on Friday nights, and was actively involved with the Temple B'nai B'rith in Somerville.
Her efforts were influential in the passage of legislation and help to change how women perceive their bodies in their attitude and behavior.
The Women's Community Cancer Project of the Women's Center of Cambridge memorialized her in a 12-woman mural at Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1998.

The confederation was founded on 1 January 2019, when the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions (LO) merged with the Confederation of Professionals in Denmark (FTF).
LO consisted of 18 unions, with a total of one million members, most of whom worked in the private sector, while FTF consisted of 70 professional organisations, with a total of just under 500,000 members, most of whom worked in the public sector.
The LO's largest affiliate, the United Federation of Danish Workers (3F), only deciding to support it early in March 2018, and the FTF's Financial Federation opposed the merger.
Denmark's other trade union centre, the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC), decided against joining the new federation, arguing that its members' interests differed from those of the members of the LO and FTF.
The federation remained affiliated to the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), and argued that, as a larger organisation, it would be more influential within the ETUC.
The federation also affiliated to Joint Committee of the Nordic Social Democratic Labour Movement, but described itself as independent of any political party.

It was designed as a long action rifle on the basis of the short action Tikka M55 rifle, however its action differs much from the M55.
After the success of the Tikka M55 as a sniper rifle, in 1988 Sako brought a purpose-built sniper rifle Tikka M65A to the market, with significant modifications to the basic design.
In 1987 the Tikkakoski factory was run down, all its machinery was destroyed, and production of Tikka rifles was transferred to Sako factory at Riihimäki.
The design work from the Tikka M65A and Valmet Sniper M86 were used to develop the Sako TRG sniper rifle in the early 1990s.
The Tikka M65 action is based on the Tikka M55, which in turn is loosely based on the Mauser action, which Tikkakoski had wanted to modernise.
The repeating magazine fed rifle features a milled receiver made from special steel, to which a 90° rotating, two-lug cylindrical bolt locks; the M65 also incorporates two additional safety lugs at the rear of the bolt, as well as two vent holes in the bolt body to vent off gases to the side if a primer breaks.
Unlike the M55, the M65 also features an integral recoil lug, which is made to the receiver in the milling process.
The barrel is cut rifled with 6 grooves and depending on the model, either 520 mm (20.47 in), 560 mm (22.83 in), 620 mm (24.41 in) or 660 mm (25.98 in) long.

However, since none of the ships were completed by the time that the Germans captured them, they were completed with different modifications using available armaments that fited the Germans' needs.
The ship's main armament was a 10.5 cm C/32 naval gun mounted at the fore of the ship on the deck.
The ship also boasted an impressive anti-aircraft arsenal, including two single 2 cm Flak 30 guns on each side of the ship, two quad 2 cm Flak guns on top of the bridge, and a twin 3.7 Flak gun by the engine room.
In addition, the ship carried two depth charge throwers on each side as well as minesweeping gear, consisting of measures against acoustic and magnetic mines.
With the fall of France in early 1940, the German Kriegsmarine took control of a number of French shipyards in the process of constructing both civilian and military ships.
The captured corvettes were constructed to fill a deficiency in the escort fleets in the English Channel, which was that the ships protecting merchant shipping were generally only armed with 3.7 cm guns.
This armament was incapable of launching flares to coordinate counter-fire against British motor torpedo boat and motor gun boat attacks that took place at night.
The corvettes thus filled the dual role of an anti-aircraft vessel and a fire control ship for the escort of merchant ships.

Smart was born at Narridy, South Australia, on 12 October 1911 to farmer Percival Horace Smart and his wife Lilian Louise, née Rogers.
Smart increased soil fertility through the planting of the Western Australian blue lupin, which would thrive in sandy conditions if superphosphates were used.
Agricultural practices developed included introducing clovers after initial fertility increases, to increase productivity; pest control through aerial insect spraying; and using nitrogen to fertilise cereals.
Smart travelled to the eastern states of Australia, visiting agricultural society shows, colleges, and other public events to publicise his achievements and Western Australia's opportunities.
He served several terms in local governments: Wongan-Ballidu Road Board from 1947 to 1949, Mingenew Road Board from 1950 to 1956 and from 1958 to 1960, and the renamed Mingenew Shire Council from 1961 to 1967.

Silver cermets were created to improve the wear resistance and hardness of another type of filling material, glass ionomer cements, through the addition of silver.
Cermets also have a similar compressive strength, flexural strength, and solubility as glass ionomer cements, some of the main limiting factors for both materials.
The liquid is an aqueous solution of a co-polymer of either 37% acrylic or maleic acid, or both, and 9% tartaric acid.
Like glass ionomer cements, it is recommended that the tooth tissue is conditioned with polyacrylic acid (a weak acid) before application.
As such, they are no longer a popular choice of material and it is unclear whether cermets will continue to be used.

The Mac Giolla Phádraig, Kings of Ossory were often referred to as Princes of Gowran, having their royal seat at Gowran during the tenth century.
From 1169, the Hiberno-Norman Butler family took control of 44,000 acres of what is now County Kilkenny, including Gowran; a territory they subsequently held for more than 500 years.
The castle eventually passed out of ownership of the Dukes of Ormonde in the early eighteenth century before it was rebuilt in its entirety in 1816-9 by the Agar family, Viscounts Clifden of Gowran (1781-1974).
Prior to his elevation, Lord John Butler (1643-1677) had sat in the Irish House of Commons as member for Trinity College, Dublin.

Open to two-year-olds under selling conditions it was raced over a distance of six furlongs and, not very common at the time, on turf.
Sent off at 10-1 betting odds, Congressman William L. Scott's Vagabond upset the 2-1 favorite Lord Harry who would finish fourth.
The final edition of the Pansy Stakes was run on July 1, 1910 and was won by Peter Wimmer's filly Imprint.
Passage of the 1908 Hart-Agnew anti-betting legislation by the New York Legislature under Republican Governor Charles Evans Hughes led to a compete shutdown of racing in 1911 and 1912 in the state.
The owners of Sheepshead Bay Race Track, and other racing facilities in New York State, struggled to stay in business without income from betting.
Racetrack operators had no choice but to drastically reduce the purse money being paid out which resulted in the Pansy Stakes offering a purse in 1908 that was nearly 80% less than what it had been in earlier years.
As such, for the 1910 racing season management of the Sheepshead Bay facility dropped some of its minor stakes races and used the purse money to bolster this turf race along with its most important events.

She has created a number of well-known and highly-visible murals in Puerto Vallarta, and is currently working on a project to completely cover the Lazaro Cardenas Park in tile.
When she was 8 years old, the family decided to move to Mexico, as the parents wanted to more Latin education for their children.
Moraga says she did not like her first years in Mexico, but does not regret her parents’ decision nor considers returning to live in the United States.
She was a very rebellious teenager and at age 15, moved out and still believes it was the right thing to do at the time.
Interested in pursuing trencadis, she got a scholarship to train with mosaic artist Isaiah Zagar in Philadelphia in 2009, with a friend paying her travel and lodging.
Moraga spent a week there learning the basics, but when she returned the later discovered she had to learn more as Mexican materials are different from US ones.
It has attracted attention because this kind of mosaic work was not done in Puerto Vallarta area previously and is extremely uncommon in Mexico.
Moraga created her first tile mural voluntarily on a wall near where she was living at the time in the Emiliano Zapata neighborhood.
There is a wall that encloses a public kindergarten on the corner of Pino Suarez and Basilio Badillo streets, which was covered in graffiti.
At the time, she did not know how she could make a living doing such work until a woman came up to her during this time and offered her US$100 to put her name on one of the tiles as a sponsor.
Her next case was not a wall, but rather the meters-high letters that spell Puerto Vallarta facing the traffic coming in on the highway from the north.
With this project, she had some difficulties with various government agencies, but she received support and lobbying efforts from the local business community.
She has also done smaller public projects such as the benches on Francisco Rodriguez Street between Olas Altas and the Los Muertos pier.
The Parque de Azulejos or Tile Park Project was begun in 2017, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the founding of Puerto Vallarta.
It is located at Lazaro Cardenas Park, one of the most iconic of the city, but also run down due to lack of maintenance.
At first there was no money at all for the project, but it did not stop anything as she already has tile and other supplies from other projects and started with those.
It is by far her largest project to date, aiming to cover everything there in tile mosaics, turning it into an open-air gallery.
The project takes other kinds of donations as well, including money raised from the project's website and it even has a donation box on site.
As there is no way, the Moragas could work on the project alone, most of the work has been done by volunteers.
Volunteers are trained not only how to set the tiles, but also to create designs and execute them as they are encouraged to participate in the entire creation process.
As of 2019, the park is 70% finished, the Tile Park project does not have a conclusion dates as there are too many variables, such as the number of volunteers, funding and weather conditions.
The project in the park has caught the attention of locals and tourists, making it a popular place to take photographs.
One reason why this organization has been successful is that Moraga is completely bilingual and bicultural, allowing her to work with local authorities, the bricklayers that prepare surfaces, local residents and foreigners living in and visiting Puerto Vallarta.
Moraga has been invited to speak about Mozayko Vallarta and its effects in the community in both Mexico and the United States.

After Einstein had met the Frankfurt banker's daughter Tony Simon-Wolfskehl at the end of 1922 and wanted to marry her, Aga vom Hagen stayed at Schloss Möckern with the family of her brother Rüdiger Graf vom Hagen more and more frequently.
There, she experienced the Soviet occupation in May 1945, and the expropriation of her parents' property by the land reform in September 1945.

Sir William Edwin Brunyate KCMG (12 September 1867 - ) was an English civil servant who served as legal adviser to the Ministry of Justice, Egypt, during its British protectorate, and was the second vice-chancellor of the University of Hong Kong.
He received his education at Kingswood School, Bath, and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated bachelor of arts in 1888 and master of arts in 1892.
He was Legal Adviser from 1903 and it was in this role that he contributed to the drafting of the British Protectorate of 1914.
Brunyate was chairman of the eight-member commission on judicial reform established by the British-controlled Egyptian government in March 1917 which became known as the Brunyate Commission.
By 1919, Brunyate was so despised for promoting conversion of the informal protectorate to something akin to colonial rule that he was assessed an assassination risk.
Brunyate received his appointment to the University of Hong Kong from Secretary of State Lord Milner and arrived in Hong Kong in January 1921.
It was in a state of serious financial uncertainty so he spent his three years in the role attempting to shore up its meager resources.
He was aided at the outset by the fruits of his predecessor Prof. Gregory Jordan's efforts at fund-raising, with over $300,000 coming in from private donors, plus ongoing commitments from others.
Though he achieved some considerable success, he was regarded as rigid, remote and forbidding, and lacking the tact and urbanity of manner demanded of the post.
Brunyate later took an interest in US law, writing on the subject of the 1930 American Draft Code of Criminal Procedure in 1933.
Brunyate, then Khedivial Counsellor, Ministry of Justice, Egypt, was made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in 1907 and, then Legal Adviser under the Sultanate, Knight Commander in 1916.
He was Grand Officer of the Order of the Osmanieh and was conferred the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Nile.

Te Miro (Māori: Te Miro) is an area in the Waipa District of the Waikato Region of the North Island of New Zealand.
The first Maori settlement in the Te Miro area was by the Ngati Haua people at Te Kawehitiki, located on the present day Hopehill farm, at 789 Te Miro Road.
There is a strong Maori history in the area, and a Maori Parliament was established at nearby Maungakawa in the area in the 1880s.
In the 1850s missionaries and farmers from Britain settled in the Te Miro area and introduced modern farming practices to local Maori, helping them set up two flour mills and importing grinding wheels from England and France.
During this time, wheat was a profitable crop, but when merchants in Auckland began purchasing cheaper grain from Australia the market went into decline.
In 1868, Daniel Thornton was the first settler to buy land near Te Miro, and around 1894, his widow established a large residence at nearby Maungakawa Hill, now known as Sanatorium Hill.
In 1916, the government purchased the 12,000 acre farm of James Taylor, which was then opened up to settlement after the First World War, when newly surveyed allotments were balloted to returning servicemen.
Original access was by a road up Maungakawa hill, but eventually Te Miro Road was linked to Flume Road, which has now become the main access.
The focal village of Te Miro township was surveyed at the intersection of Te Miro and Maungakawa roads, with an initial 20 lots of 1 acre designated.
Much of the original balloted farmland required scrub clearing, and for the new settlers, there was little financial support from the government.
In 2020, Te Miro is a community of approximately 280 properties, made up of several dozen dairy and drystock farms over 50 acres in size, around 40 lifestyle blocks of between 2 and 50 acres, and the balance residences on less than 2 acres.
The area shown as Te Miro when retrieved from Google maps at present includes a southern lobe that is usually referred to locally as Whitehall.
The remainder, excluding the Whitehall lobe and locally referred to as Te Miro, is about 27 square kilometres in size, approximately the same area as nearby Cambridge.
Land use is mainly pastoral and dairy farming, some areas of native bush and reserves, and some small blocks of Radiata pine forestry plantations.
Two translations of the Maori word miro are a twist, or a torrent of water, which may have originated from the many streams that twist through the hills of the area.
There are three main rock types in the Te Miro area, which are Greywackes (sediments deposited on the ocean floor about 140 million years ago); Andesite (lava flow from volcanic cones such as Mt Ruru, which erupted 6.2 million years ago); and Ignimbrite (volcanic ash from the Mangakino volcanic centre, from about 1 million years ago).
The soil on top of the rock is largely yellow brown earth, a clay rich soil with coverings of volcanic ash.
The main access to Te Miro is from Te Miro Road, which provides access through Cambridge to the Waikato Expressway, which in turn will provide a 4 lane motorway to Auckland by 2022.
Hamilton Airport, 25 minutes drive from Te Miro, is the nearest airport and provides daily flights to all New Zealand's main centres.
Te Miro is the home of the Te Miro Mountain Bike Park which provides 7 kilometres of mountain bike and jogging trails of various levels of difficulty.
The school was built in 1920, and in the present day has two classes: a junior class (years 1-4), a senior class (years 5-8), and a roll of 31.
There are also five gana or dwarf musicians (or three musicians and two guardians) in the lower area of the piece.
It was found in Parel, once one of the Seven Islands of Bombay, and now a neighbourhood of Mumbai, when a road was being constructed in 1931.
There is a plaster cast on display in the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (formerly the Prince of Wales Museum) in Mumbai.
Apart from being an imposing sculpture of great quality, and in generally good condition, the relief is of special interest because it comes from a similar period to the iconic reliefs at the Elephanta Caves, only a few miles away across Mumbai Harbour.
A relief of Shiva and Vishnu combined in Harihara form at the Jogeshwari Caves in another Mumbai suburb is also comparable.
It is a species that mostly grows in muddy grassland sites, but collections have also been made from sandier, drier sites.
Maurice Marshall Bernbaum (1910– March 8, 2008) was an American Career Foreign Service Officer who served as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Ecuador (1960-1965) and Venezuela (1965-1969).
During his tenure as Ambassador to Ecuador, their President Carlos Julio Arosemena Monroy was overthrown by the Military Junta of 1963 after criticizing the US government and insulting Bernbaum.
Lanman has authored or co-authored over 100 scientific publications in oncology, cardiology, endocrinology, pulmonology, and psychiatry, as well as historical ecology.
He is the son of American Indian art dealer and author Martha Lee Hopkins Struever and Lieutenant Richard Burnham Lanman, Sr. Lanman grew up in Munster, Indiana where his parents had a hardware store.
While at Northwestern he did basic medical research in the laboratory of cardiologist Michael Lesch, isolating the cathepsin D enzyme from canine myocardium and studying its role in myocardial infarction.
While at Northwestern, Lanman also did research with preventive cardiologist and epidemiologist Jeremiah Stamler on the impact of diet on cholesterol levels.
Graduating from medical school early at the end of 1980, Lanman began his medical internship at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, then in July 1981 began another medical internship at the University of California San Francisco Moffit Hospital.
From 1982 to 1985 he completed his residency in psychiatry at Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute, at University of California San Francisco Medical Center.
During residency, Lanman concentrated on treatment of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and patients with bulimia and anorexia, and has authored a book chapter and published medical journal articles in psychiatry and chemical dependency.
After two years of practice at Kaiser in Santa Clara County, he was appointed Chief of Psychiatry, overseeing about 40 healthcare providers in the psychiatry and chemical dependency departments.
After studying physician practice pattern variation, and delays in physician adoption of new technologies and treatments, Lanman was appointed as a Chief of Quality at Kaiser Permanente, where he worked on quality improvement initiatives in the management of dysfunctional uterine bleeding by gynecologists, chest pain by emergency medicine doctors, and childhood asthma by pediatricians.
The latter was the topic of a book chapter he authored on variation in physician practice patterns and hospitalization rates for children with asthma across Kaiser's 14 hospitals in Northern California.
Lanman left Kaiser Permanente to take a position as Chief Medical Officer and Sr. Vice President at San Jose Medical Group (SJMG), in San Jose, California from 1993 to 1995, where he managed over 130 employed physicians and drove medical quality initiatives.
This fully integrated multispecialty group practice contracted with over a dozen health maintenance organizations, accepting capitation risk for all physician services under the leadership of CEO Barbara J. Shaw and Board Chairman Victor J. Corsiglia, Jr., MD.
SJMG was written up in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1995 and named by The Advisory Board Company in Washington, D.C. as the most effective medical group in managed care in the country.
His idea was that health maintenance organizations (HMOs) should not use primary care physicians as gatekeepers that limit access to specialty physician care as a cost savings measure.
contract directly with health plans, and align incentives to control costs by adopting minimally invasive procedures and/or medical management by accepting novel severity-adjusted case rates for their work instead of fee-for-service.
These case rates were akin to how obstetricians typically accept a single case rate as payment for managing a women's pregnancy and delivery over a ten-month episode-of-care, except that they were adjusted for diagnosis, age, and comorbidities.
A key attribute of the payment and profiling model was adoption of less-invasive (and less expensive) treatment strategie.s Venture capital investors included Sequoia Capital, New Enterprise Associates, Technology Funding Partners, and InterWest Partners.
After securing contracts with a dozen health plans in the nine physician specialties driving 80%+ of inpatient healthcare costs, Adesso filed for an IPO in early 2000.
Atherotech performed the Vertical Auto Profile- or VAP-expanded cholesterol and lipoprotein test, to improve prediction of risk of heart attack and stroke.
As Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President, Corporate Business Development, Lanman lectured nationally on preventive cardiology and lipidology and coordinated studies using the VAP test's unique lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) cholesterol measurement and other lipoprotein biomarkers in published clinical studies including the Framingham Heart Study, Hopkins Sibling Heart Study and the HDL Atherosclerosis Intervention Trial.
Lanman was recruited in 2005 to a second preventive cardiology biomarker company, diaDexus, Inc., as Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer.
At diaDexus, he initiated over a dozen clinical trials supporting the utility of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A (Lp-PLA) as the first biomarker test to predict risk of stroke.
The test for Lp-PLA ( PLAC) was FDA cleared as an aid to clinical evaluation in the prediction of risk of heart attack and stroke associated with atherosclerosis in 2005.
His published work established a clinical cutpoint and contributed to a meta-analysis establishing elevated Lp-PLA levels as a risk for both coronary heart disease and stroke.
In addition to managing the medical affairs team, Lanman also served as Executive Vice President over the sales team from 2005–2007.
After helping launch two cardiovascular biomarker companies, Lanman was recruited to be Chief Medical Officer of Veracyte, Inc. in 2008, then a seed stage company developing minimally invasive genomics tests to better diagnose thyroid nodules and lung nodules without resorting to surgery.
He was responsible for the design of clinical studies and publications resulting in positive technology review and reimbursement coverage by Medicare and private insurers, as well as physician adoption of Veracyte's tests.
Lanman was also a principal investigator for a study with academic pulmonologists and pathologists validating Veracyte's third genomics test that differentiates idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis from other idiopathic interstitial pneumonias.
In September 2014, Lanman joined another early stage company in healthcare diagnostics, Guardant Health, Inc. to serve as Chief Medical Officer.
Guardant's first diagnostic test, Guardant360, enabled sequencing of the DNA in patients’ advanced cancers with a simple blood test, as an aid in treatment selection for targeted therapy or immunotherapy without the need for repeat invasive tissue biopsies.
At Guardant he again led the studies, publications, and physician education to achieve positive Medicare reimbursement for use of the Guardant360 liquid biopsy test in the majority of solid tumor cancers.
Lanman also collaborated with National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers to validate two other Guardant products: GuardantOMNI™, a blood test that can predict response to immunotherapy in lung and colon cancer, and LUNAR, a test for early stage cancers and also for the early detection of cancer.
Lanman has also published on historical ecology, establishing novel physical evidence that the North American beaver (‘’Castor canadensis’’) was native to virtually all of California, in a trio of scientific publications in ecology.
In early 2020 Lanman presented a scientific study based on ancient DNA sequencing of salmonid remains from archaeological excavations at Mission Santa Clara which extends the known historic spawning range of Chinook salmon further south than previously realized, to San Jose, California.
He continuess his historical ecology research and publications, while also serving on the Board of Biolase, Inc., WeTree, Inc., and as an Advisor to Forward Medical, Inc. and Guardant Health, Inc.
He was also selected as one of ten psychiatry residents across the country to be an American Psychiatric Association Leadership Fellow in 1982, and then selected from over 400 psychiatry residents to serve on the American Psychiatric Association Board of Trustees from 1983 to 1985.
From 1982-1990 Lanman served as a part-time lobbyist in Washington, D.C., as part of a successful effort to improve insurance coverage for the mentally ill.
Dr. Lanman serves or has served on the board of directors for numerous healthcare companies and organizations: Biolase, Inc, a dental laser manufacturer, the Santa Clara County Resource Conservation District, Atherotech, Inc., a cardiovascular biomarker diagnostics company, Adesso Healthcare Technology Services, Inc., an application service provider for physician specialists, and the American Psychiatric Association.
He is also on the Advisory Board of Forward Medical, Inc. and is an outside advisor to Compass Technology Partners, a venture capital firm in Menlo Park, California.
Lanman is a member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the American Association for Cancer Research, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, the Trumpeter Swan Society, and the Salmonid Restoration Foundation.

As an esports competitor he has represented multiple organisations in multiple games title most notably representing Optic Gaming in Call of Duty.
Porter made the switch from Halo to Call of Duty joining the compLexity Gaming organisation and roster of ACHES, TeePee and FEARS in December 2012.
Midway through the season and after some poor results compLexity would add Clayster to the roster and become what is known as one of the most dominant Call of Duty teams ever assembled.
They would find immediate success and win the very next event and would continue by completely dominating the second half of the Black Ops 2 season winning almost ever event, both nationally and internationally.
Going in to the domination would continue with the team winning the MLG Columbus 2013 however the team decided to drop Clayster citing internal conflicts.
Porter and his teammates would win the Call of Duty Championship 2014 in emphatic fashion only dropping 4 maps in the entire tournament.
After becoming world champions they would continue to dominate by winning MLG CoD League Season 1 Playoffs and UGC Niagara 2014.
After the teams transition to the new organisation they had continued success by maintaining first place in the league and were the first team to clinch a spot in the Championship bracket at MLG Anaheim.
The team had the number 1 seed going into the event due to their win at the 2014 Call of Duty Championship.
This was the first event the team had lost on Ghosts.The team would come back after this disappointment to the next event MLG Anaheim, getting their revenge over Optic in the final and winning the event.
A month later the team would attend Gfinity 3, the event was not a good one, with them placing 5th-8th and out of the money.
2 days after the Dallas event, Karma would announce that he wanted to leave the team and a day later he was be benched.
With Karma leaving to go to FaZe Clan and Dedo coming to Evil Geniuses, the team now consisted of ACHES, TeePee, Crimsix, and Dedo.
This new look EG squad would look to start their career ahead with Dedo with a win, but that was not to be at UMG Nashville with the team finishing a disappointing 13th-16th.
After the victory at ESWC 2014, it was very clear that the roster would not be sticking together heading into the Advanced Warfare season.
Porter, Teepee, and Karma were all picked up by the OpTic Gaming organization, with TeePee and Karma going to OpTic Nation, whereas Crimsix went to OpTic Gaming.
With a roster consisting of Nadeshot, Scump, Formal and Crimsix the team would win three out of the first five events of the year, but would perform poorly at Call of Duty Championship 2015 finishing 7th.
This roster would go on to win three of the final six events of the year, whilst also placing second three times.
They would bounce back however winning the MLG Orlando Open 2016 but once again failed to perform at the biggest event of the year placing 7-8th at the 2016 Call of Duty Championship.
OpTic placed second at the 2017 CWL Atlanta Open and then won the 2017 CWL Paris Open and the 2017 CWL Dallas Open.
With fans skeptical about the strength of the roster, OpTic Gaming finished the year as the undisputed best team by winning the 2017 CWL Global Pro League Stage 2 and finally claiming victory at the elusive Call of Duty Championship.
This would be the first Call of Duty Championship win for the Optic Gaming organisation and would make porter a 2-time Call of Duty World Champion.
However, with inconsistent placings ,inconsistent practice regime and with results at the first five major events being poor, most notably placing 13-16th at the 2018 Seattle Open.
The end to WWII saw them place 5-6th at the 2018 CWL Anaheim Open, 7-8th at the Stage 2 playoffs, and a shocking 17-24th at the 2018 CWL Championship the lowest champs placing of Porter's career.
This was the first time since Black Ops 2 where Porter would fail to win a single championship title throughout a season.
After the announcement of a 5-player roster in the Black Ops 4 season, OpTic decided to drop Methodz and Octane, and pick up young talents Dashy and TJHaLy, as well as re-adding Karma back into the lineup.
With the line-up now consisting of Crimsix, Scump, Dashy, TJHaly and Karma and after dominating online tournaments they would win the 2019 CWL Las Vegas Open (their first Major tournament win since the 2017 CWL Championship) and the first event of the year.

The are based out of the RV known as , named after Saki's family dog, the Go-onger team is composed of the core three and two back-up members who support the main team.
The Go-ongers each wear a necklace bearing the Go-onger crest, with a colored stone of their respective color in the center.
When Speedor becomes rusted Sōsuke crosses paths with his former mentor, who aids him by reminding him that a miracle takes more than one person to make by himself.
He is very protective of his teammates; when Saki expresses that she wants to be pretty for a boyfriend who will appreciate her and makes a date with a young musician not long after, Sōsuke worries that she intends to leave the team to get married.
After the final battle, Sōsuke returns to racing, but because of his long absence from the racing circuit, he has to start from the bottom as a go-kart driver.
With his high speed abilities, he uses the Mantan Gun in Rod Mode to execute the , which skewers multiple enemies, and the .
With Go-on Blue with the Cowl Laser and Go-on Yellow with the Bridge Axe, he can perform with the Rocket Daggers.

The son of a family that runs a beachside inn, Renn, as a young boy, prayed and offered omelettes every day to a guardian statue in the eventually futile hope that his sickly mother would recover.
The guardian statue turned out to be the sealed form of the Arerunbra Uzumaquixote, which Renn learned only after Kitaneidas and Kegareshia tried to claim it.
Renn carries a small memo notebook, which is the source of his massive knowledge; in it, he jots down notes about and draws doodles of the enemies the team faces, even in the middle of a fight.
Cheerful and eager, she smiles and remains upbeat even in times of crisis, and exhorts her teammates to do the same.
She has an older sister named Sanae, a manipulative and devilish woman who often tormented her when they were younger and continues to make trouble for her in the present time.
After the final battle, Saki goes to work at a cake shop before joining the other Go-ongers in travelling across the Braneworlds to defeat any remaining members of the Gaiark.

Enthusiastic, kind-hearted, but immature, Hant seems to always have a part-time job of some sort; one of these was at a crepe stand so that he could talk with girls his age (he lied to his teammates, telling them that he was working to supplement their food budget so they could buy barbecue meat).
After witnessing the primary Go-ongers in their first battles against the Gaiark, Gunpei quits the police force; because the police had considered the Gaiark out of their jurisdiction, Gunpei decided that the police had lost their sense of justice.
He eventually finds out the Go-ongers' true identities and demands to become one himself, going so far as to kidnap Bomper and steal the Engine Casts to achieve that end.
After learning how and why Sōsuke, Renn, and Saki were chosen, he decided to return the Engine Casts to them and, along with Hanto, was made a Go-onger by Bomper.
Though he tries to come across as cool and serious, Gunpei is actually very insecure and, especially when he is around Hanto, can be quite buffoonish.
Though Kenji Ebisawa, the actor who portrays Gunpei, is indeed older than Rina Aizawa and Masahiro Usui, who plays Saki and Hanto, he is, ironically, younger than both Yasuhisa Furuhara and Shinwa Kataoka, the actors who play Sōsuke and Renn respectively.
The are a two-man team composed of the Sutō siblings, who came from a Plutocratic lifestyle and chosen by the Wing Clan Engines due to their esper abilities, brought to the Machine World to become an elite fighting force under Jum-bowhale's guidance before the Go-onger team came to be.
However, it is due to their training that the Go-on Wings see the Go-ongers as being too inexperienced to protect the Earth from Gaiark.
However, after learning from Jum-bowhale about what truly made the Go-ongers who they are, the Go-on Wings join the Go-ongers as comrades.
Living at their villa, the Sutō siblings come to the Go-ongers' aid whenever they feel an evil presence making its move.
The Go-on Wings each wear a necklace bearing the Go-on Wings crest and are fearful of ghosts since being told scary ghost stories by their grandfather.
After the final battle, the Sutō siblings resume their family duties in high class society, though Hiroto was a bit reluctant to accept this role.
He trains extensively in boxing and kickboxing and possesses an esper ability that allows him to sense when danger is near.
His seemingly cold exterior belies his fiery passion; he tells the Ancient Engines that, like them and like the Go-ongers and his sister, he will put his life on the line to protect those that he cares about.
With the Rocket Dagger, he can perform the following attacks: Burning Dagger, Lightning Dagger, Shining Dagger, Freezing Dagger, and Full-Power Dagger.

is a pink radar robot created by Jum-bowhale from the Machine World, supporting the Go-ongers by creating their arsenal and performing maintenance on the Engines.
The Go-ongers' technology revolves around the , which is a chip-like item that holds the soul of an Engine, whose power they allow the Go-ongers to employ.
The Go-ongers' mecha are the , denizens of Machine World with some of them pursuing the Barbaric Machine Clan Gaiark, choosing the Go-ongers as their partners to fight the Gaiark with them.
While in the Human World, the Engines cannot exist in their full size and thus remove their Engine Souls to assume small forms called which are kept in the until they are needed, resuming their true size on Earth for only 10 minutes, or suffer fatal rusting.
But to fight, the Engines need the aid of humans to resume their true forms, with their hearts allowing the Engines to assume more powerful forms.
Among Engines are two races, the large that can combine with other Engines and the rare that are masters of aerial combat.
After the defeat of Yogoshimacritein, the Engines depart back to their homeworld until Speedor later returns to ask their partner to aid them again with the Gaiark President.
While as Engine Souls, they can communicate via any henshin device to give advice to the Go-ongers and the Go-on Wings, appearing as cartoony holograms with features like teeth, mouths, and other body parts not present as an Engine.
The Go-ongers' four Engine robots and Go-Roader each have a role call phrase and a nickname which they say when fully introducing themselves, before the group says .
Its finisher is the where Engine-Oh charges the enemy at full speed with its , landing the deathblow as it moves past.
is the combination of Engine-Oh and GunBir-Oh, created when Renn modified the GunBir-Oh components for a new G6 Formation based on Carrigator's fusion ability and Bomper's knowledge of Engines.
Its attack is the and its finisher is the where it fires all of its weapons in energy form at the enemy.

Its attacks are the and , while its initial finisher is the where it generates aura versions of Engine-Oh, GunBir-Oh, Seiku-Oh and Kyoretsu-Oh to attack the enemy before charging while generating an incinerating aura.
is the wheel-like robot referred to as the created by Hiroto and Jum-bowhale, appearing as a palm-sized wheel and in the development stage due to the defective created by Hiroto to activate it, causing the Go-Roader to go on a rampage.
However, with the developed by Renn, Go-Roader can enlarge and can assume a humanoid as well as change into a to execute the attack with Engine-Oh G9 or Engine-Oh G12's energy.
Another feature of the Go-Roader is its ability to house an Engine Soul to assume a human-sized Action Mode with the mind of the very Engine controlling it.
Originally thought to be the last of the Gaiark, the three Pollution Ministers end up on Earth and decide to pollute it to serve as an ideal paradise for them.
Powering the entire place is the , a big gear in their command chamber which is an inexhaustible energy source that Yogostein brought with him from Machine World.
The gear's power is used Yogoshimacritein to create an army of Barbaric Dohma until the primary Go-ongers break it, causing Hellgailles Palace to self-destruct and sink into the sea.
She has artificial human-like skin that regenerates and shoots steam from the projections on her back armor if she is in a foul mood, and the handle on her head cuts off this leakage.
It was this taboo that she could never fall in love with Nigorl, as his ideas were the opposite of the Gaiark's.
While the Go-ongers were trapped in Samurai World, Kegalesia accidentally separates her from her body, with her soul set into Bomper by the other Ministers to convert the robot into so they can take advantage of the situation by setting a trap.
She occasionally joined Saki and Miu in the 3-girl idol group G3 Princess, though the second time ended with her enlarging and being knocked into the distance by Engine-Oh G12.
She is annoyed when Yogoshimacritein uses her and Kitaneidas as human shields against the Go-onger's attacks, seeing him for what he is and his methods not to her liking.
As an act of defiance against the dictator, she helps in destroying the Infinite Wastebin before she was heavily damaged by Yogoshimacritein.
Due to her nature as a Water Pollution branch member, she can execute with any member of the same branch, boosting up their power as a result.
As part of G3 Princess with Go-on Yellow and Silver, she performs , after performing which passes the ball made by them.
leads the Gaiark's sky-based Barbaric Machine Beasts and uses the as his weapon and can turn himself into smog as well as execute his .
He is agitated when Yogoshimacritein uses him as a human shield against the Go-ongers, and as a final act, he destroys the Infinite Wastebin before he is forced to shut down by Yogoshimacritein.
Despite continuous failure, his faith and esteem he felt for his vice-minister never faded as he showed concern for Hiramechimedes' well-being and has been in a state of mourning since his death before leaving Hellgailles Palace to clear his head and find himself.
By the time he returned, Yogostein was more rage-filled and decides to rely on his own power, creating Hammer Banki to destroy the world rather than remake it into an ideal environment for the Gaiark.
It was after his creation was destroyed that Yogostein saw the error of his ways as the other Ministers forgive him for his reckless action.
Prior to the events of the movie, Yogostein developed the Savage Machine Beast Recycle program, using his spear to remove the Ugatz's Souls from their bodies to revive the Savage Machine Beasts in a Minister team attempt to tear down the dimensional barrier.
Soon after, Yogostein resumes acting on his own when he begins a new project to unearth the Horonderthal from his rest, setting up a chain of events that would not only dispose of Go-on Red, but being able to upgrade himself as the new Horonderthal King to rust the entire city.
When entering battle alongside the other pollution Ministers, Yogostein says, , while when attacking with other Land Pollution Ministry members he says, .
Whenever inspired with a plan, the 3 light bulbs on his head flash as he says with the sextant and protractor on his chestplate indicating the plan's greatness.
Originally a second-rate inventor of many of the Gaiark group's arsenal, he plotted to assassinate Yogostein to become the new Land Pollution Minister and be somebody.
However, after seeing his brilliant mind recognized by Yogostein as he awards him with the yardstick-stylized sword and his title on the day the Gaiark attack Machine World, Hiramechimedes devoted himself to his master's cause without question as he became feared by the Engines, making them frightened husks of their former selves in his numerous victories which they eventually overcame.
However, on the day the Gaiark were expelled from Machine World, Hiramechimedes mysteriously disappeared during the fight only to resurface months later on the Human World to serve under Yogostein again after settling some loose ends with the Wing Engines as he thought he had handled, only to be once more pursued by them and the Go-on Wings.
Eventually, Hiramechimedes, along with Yogostein and Bōseki Banki, stages his apparent banishment from Hellgailles palace as part of a plan to deceive the Go-ongers and kill Go-on Gold.
However the plan goes wrong yet again with the arrival of Engine-Oh G9 and Hiramechimedes refuses to return to Yogostein out of shame, spending long days of calculation for a means to kill the Go-ongers.
After a vain attempt to destroy the Go-on teams, Hiramechimedes finally finds the answer he had been looking for: to beat the Go-ongers at their own game with raw power rather than with intellect.
In consequence, the stress of this destroyed Hiramechimedes' mind as he upgrades into a more powerful and insane babbling form called .
However, while the Go-ongers visit a shrine in the woods, they encounter Hiramechimedes' ghost, referring to himself as , as his malice towards the Go-ongers kept him from passing on.
Unable to regain physical form, Urameshimedes made a detour to Samurai World to recruit the aid of Bakki to help him by physically harming the Go-ongers in return to allow him to destroy the forest.
However, the Go-on teams manage to use a G9 Grand Prix laced with salt on the two so the attack would not only kill Bakki, but exorcise Hiramechimedes in the process.
As Detaramedes, his uses a variety of attacks with a miscalculation theme such as , , , , , and .
But once man-handled by Go-on Red, Kokorootomedes upgrades into a powerful berserker form, becoming a Yakuza-type in personality with his crazed attack that lets him fight dirty.
In the end, he is scrapped by Go-on Red using the Kankanbar Mantangun on him, lamenting on his desire before rethinking that it wasn't well worth his death.
Being the total opposite of his son and most ruthless of the Gaiark, Yogoshimacritein desired to rule all the Braneworlds, playing part in forcing the Gian Race Engines into the verge of extinction and oversaw the destruction of the three Braneworlds by Kireizky.
After Kireizky's death, Yogoshimacritein uses his fallen minion's Bottomless Wastebin to enter the Human World, using it as a means to feed from in order for him to use his signature inhereditary attack , which can convert those it hits into wavelengths as long as the Deus Haguru Magear is active.
He uses it to take out Hant, Gunpei, and the Go-on Wings, along with their Engine partners, Carrigator, Jum-bowhale, and the ancient Engines.
Eventually, Yogoshimacritein reveals to Kegalesia and Kitaneidas that he never cared for his surbordinates and will sacrifice them as long as it is to accomplish their plan.
After losing the Infinite Wastebin to the ministers, Yogoshimacritein fatally damages them both before making his way to the Deus Haguru Magear to power himself up until he is trapped in the Bikkurium chamber as the gear is destroyed, causing the entire Hellgailles Palace to collapse around him.
However, Yogoshimacritein reconstructs himself from his gears and attempts to destroy the city until he is halted by Hant, Gunpei, and the Go-on Wings.
Once the primary Go-ongers join the fray, Yogoshimacritein enlarges himself in a process called and battles Engine-Oh G12 until he is finally destroyed by the G12 Final Grand Prix attack.
His other weapons are , that can absorb Engine-Soul based attacks and send them back to knock them out or be wrung into the , the , and .
His sixth weapon, the , allows him to manipulate space itself from evading an enemy attack to sending them far away with .
But once losing the wastebin, Kireizky swallows the Dokkirium he gather to undergo before using the strongest of his seven weapons, the .
Though he overpowered the Go-ongers, the tables turn when the entire team is reassembled and Kireizky is finally scrapped by Engine-Oh G12.
He is a user of kenpō named and his trademark attack is the , ingesting the energy attack of an opponent and reflecting back.
Once the Go-ongers found a means to counter his signature move, Chirakasonne ingests Dokkirium and defeats both Engine-Oh and Seiku-Oh easily.
He has been conquering the when he comes across the Go-ongers and battles them before intending to enter the Human World.
When they are all sent through a dimensional rift to the Human World, Batcheed joins forces with the Gedoushu so he can use their Sanzu River's water to complete the on the moon's surface which can pollute all the Braneworlds.
After executing Industrial Revolution and combining with the Batchrium Plant, he is destroyed by the Samurai Giants and the Engines in the Samurai Formation 23.
Preceding the Gaiark as the Engines' mortal enemies, the were sea-based androids terrorized Machine World with their before their leader Nigorl left for the Human World and the Arelunbra faded into legend.
The is of a legendary clan of giant Clockwork Savage Machines which caused the extinction of the dinosaurs on the earth 65 million years ago with his violence-inducing .
He battled with the Ancient Engines at that time, with their fight ending up with both sides fossilized within a mountain.
Making it his goal, Yogostein manages to find the location with the aid of Drill Banki, only to accidentally free the Ancient Engines instead.
But after personally finding the exact location of Horonderthal, Yogostein awakens him from his rest and upgrades him so that his attack can affect Kyoretsu-Oh.
However, in spite of his modern-time upgrades, the Horonderthal became the first to be scrapped by Engine-Oh G12 with Yogostein taking the Horonderthal's power for himself.
The Barbaric Machine Beasts are infused with a special energy called that enlarges them in a process called , however this process can be activated while the Barbaric Machine Beast is still alive.
They are named putting the suffix after the name of the object they are based on, machines that were present at the turn of the century.
When scrapped, the dead Savage Machine Beasts shrink back to normal size and end up at the Savage Machine Beast Graveyard.
Yogostein took advantage of this in his Savage Machine Beast program by using Ugatz souls to reanimate the , only for them to be rescrapped by the Engines due to being much weaker than they used to be.
Other Braneworlds mentioned in the series are the destroyed and serene as well as the western-style which is currently being attacked by Batcheed and the remaining Gaiark forces as the series ends.
The is a Braneworld that resembles a junkyard due to Osen's invention that can multiply garbage and alters any organic being to possess the same attributes as scrap metal.
is a Braneworld that resembles Feudal Japan and was under the dictatorship of Empress Maki and her Yōma until the Go-ongers ended up in the Braneworld by accident and help in overthrowing Maki.
It later would turn out that few Samurai World residents have an identical counterpart in the Human World they are linked to via the soul as shown with Retsu-Taka's Human World counterpart.
Budj Bim heritage areas include the Tyrendarra Indigenous Protected Area (declared December 2003), the Budj Bim National Heritage Landscape (added to the National Heritage List on 20 July 2004), and the Budj Bim Cultural Landscape (designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 6 July 2019).
The creation story of the local Gunditjmara people is based on the eruption of Budj Bim (Mount Eccles) more than 30,000 years ago.
From some thousands of years before European settlement (one of five eel trap systems at Lake Condah has been carbon dated to 6,600 years old), the Gunditjmara people developed a system of aquaculture which channelled the water of the Darlot Creek into adjacent lowlying areas trapping short-finned eels and other fish in a series of weirs, dams and channels.
The evidence was buried or ignored for 135 years, until Peter Coutts of the Victoria Archaeological Survey carried out surveys at Lake Condah (Tae Rak), altogether different terrain, in the 1970s.
Europeans constructed drainage channels in the 1880s and 1950s, but in 1977 heavy rains revealed more of the original work, as well as house foundations made of basalt blocks.
In the 1990s and 2000s, 3D computer maps recreated the channels, showing that the stone walls were built across the lava flow to form a complex system of artificial ponds to hold floodwaters and eels at different stages of growth.
After the 2019-2020 Australian bushfires burnt more than around Lake Condah and in the Budj Bim National Park, further areas of aquaculture, previously concealed under vegetation, were revealed, in an area known as the Muldoon trap complex.
After the European settlement began from the late 1830s, the rocks and uneven land of the lava flow permitted attacks on settlers and the means to escape from reprisal as the terrain was unsuited to horses.
This area () comprises the Peters site between the Fitzroy River and Darlot Creek purchased by the Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation in May 2010 (after some years' leasehold) and the Kurtonitj wetlands to the north acquired by the Corporation in September 2009.
To the south of the Australian National Heritage List area (on both sides of the Princes Highway the landscape has been compromised by the removal of stone for fencing and, more recently, the crushing of stone to provide material for road building.
This area includes the Mount Eccles National Park and the Condah Mission Station at Lake Condah on Darlot Creek to the west , with the addition of recently purchased properties linking the two and in the east towards Lake Gorrie.
Mount Eccles National Park at Lake Surprise encompasses and includes many interesting geologic features such as lava flows, lava caves, scoria cones and crater lakes.
The park has a campground and the base of the vents supports Lake Surprise, which is generally closed for swimming due to blue-green algae issues.
The Condah Mission Station was established in 1868 after agitation from displaced Gunditjmara to be permitted to live near the places from which they had been removed.
Following the Aboriginal Land (Lake Condah and Framlingham Forest) Act 1987, the 53 hectare former reserve was vested to the Kerrup Jmara Elders Corporation.
The reserve was eventually vested to the Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation (Registered Native Title Corporate) in 2008 by the Commonwealth Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Hon.
Thousands of newly planted trees and grasses were destroyed by bushfires in 2006, as well as 90 per cent of the property's vegetation.
There are three components of this arra: the boundaries are those of Budj Bim National Park, Budj Bim Indigenous Protected Area, Tyrendarra Indigenous Protected Area and Lake Condah Mission.
Ana Rodríguez (born 23 April 2002) is a Panamanian footballer who plays as a defender for CAI and the Panama women's national team.

He was able to record and perform an early instance of a glitch that allowed players to equip child-only items as an adult.
He has performed and commentated speedruns at the annual event Awesome Games Done Quick; he ran the 100% category in 2015, 2018, and 2020.
He and runners Sva, Chocopoptart, Cosmo, Pydoyks, and Makaron continued to lower the record time with constant improvements to the Ganondoor route.
He lowered his time further down to twenty-five minutes and thirty-two seconds, reducing it to twenty-three minutes and twenty-nine seconds later on.
It was put together to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the game and featured techniques and mechanics known to speedrunners of the game.
He performed it in isolated segments on an emulator and grouped the best of each to construct and splice it together.
On its live debut, the run finished nearly 15 minutes faster than Zfg's then-current record of three hours, fifty-three minutes, thirty-three seconds.
His record was recorded at three hours, fifty-eight minutes, and forty-five seconds, beating the then-second place runner Marco by nearly ten minutes.
It was the first sub-hour run in five years, after Sva's sub-five run timed at four hours, fifty-seven minutes, and thirty-six seconds.
Zfg was able to lower the time to under four hours with newly-discovered glitches and shortcuts discovered within a month of the record.
By using an item duplication glitch discovered by Seedborn, runners can skip collecting Poes and save up to a minute on average.
An indirect result of Seedborn's glitch is obtaining the Biggoron's Sword much earlier than intended, which skips some of the game's trading quest.
An exploit to clip through Ganon's castle at the end of the run and skipping the following cutscene was found around the same time, saving a significant amount of time.
The Arwings were used by the game developers to test the Z-targeting mechanics and flight patterns of the Fire Temple boss Volvagia.
The developers subsequently left the Arwings in the game code, only being able to be spawned back in with cheat devices such as the Gameshark.
The method used to spawn them in, arbitrary code execution, allows speedrunners to force the game to load filenames as game code.
Runners also used ACE to complete the game in under 13-minutes by warping to the end credits, load items into treasure chests, or change their physical positions.
Zfg explained that by performing ACE three times, each with different specific filenames, runners can remove the character limit of the file name.

Arachis hypogaea allergen powder, sold under the brand name Palforzia, is a medication used to mitigate allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, that may occur with accidental exposure to peanuts in individuals aged four through 17 years with a confirmed diagnosis of peanut allergy.
Arachis hypogaea allergen powder is a powder that is manufactured from peanuts and packaged in pull-apart color-coded capsules for dose escalation and up-dosing, and in a sachet for maintenance treatment.
The powder is emptied from the capsules or sachet and mixed with a small amount of semisolid food - such as applesauce, yogurt, or pudding for consumption.
The most common side effects of arachis hypogaea allergen powder are abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, tingling in the mouth, itching (including in the mouth and ears), cough, runny nose, throat irritation and tightness, hives, wheezing and shortness of breath and anaphylaxis.
To mitigate the risk of anaphylaxis associated with arachis hypogaea allergen powder, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS).
Arachis hypogaea allergen powder is only available through specially certified healthcare providers, health care settings, and pharmacies to those who are enrolled in the REMS program.
The FDA is requiring that healthcare providers who prescribe Arachis hypogaea allergen powder - and healthcare settings that dispense and administer Arachis hypogaea allergen powder - are educated on the risk of anaphylaxis associated with its use.
In addition, the Initial Dose Escalation phase and first dose of each Up-Dosing level must only be administered to patients in a certified healthcare setting equipped to monitor patients and to identify and manage anaphylaxis.
Patients or their parents or caregivers must also be counseled on the need for the patients to have injectable epinephrine available for immediate use at all times, the need for continued dietary peanut avoidance, and how to recognize the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis.
The effectiveness of arachis hypogaea allergen powder is supported by a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted in the U.S., Canada and Europe in approximately 500 peanut-allergic individuals.
Effectiveness was assessed by evaluating the percentage of study participants tolerating an oral challenge with a single 600 mg dose of peanut protein (twice the daily maintenance dose of arachis hypogaea allergen powder) with no more than mild allergic symptoms after 6 months of maintenance treatment.
The results showed that 67.2% of arachis hypogaea allergen powder recipients tolerated a 600 mg dose of peanut protein in the challenge, compared to 4.0% of placebo recipients.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved arachis hypogaea allergen powder-dnfp in January 2020, and granted approval of Palforzia to Aimmune Therapeutics.

Horn Spire is a mountain summit located in the Boundary Ranges of the Coast Mountains, in the U.S. state of Alaska.
The peak is situated between the Thiel Glacier and Battle Glacier at the northwest extent of the Juneau Icefield, north-northwest of Juneau, Alaska, and east of Lynn Canal, on land managed by Tongass National Forest.
Horn Spire is the highest point of the Icefall Spires, and although modest in elevation, relief is significant since the north face of the mountain rises over 4700 feet above the Thiel Glacier in less than one mile.
The peak's descriptive name was submitted in 1965 by Maynard Miller, director of the Juneau Icefield Research Project, and officially adopted that same year by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.
The first ascent of the peak was made June 30, 1973, by Dick Benedict, Gerry Buckley, Craig Lingle, and Bruce Tickell.

In Taiwan, the Fengpitou (鳳鼻頭) culture, characterized by fine red cord-marked pottery, was found in Penghu and the central and southern parts of the western side of the island, and a culture with similar pottery occupied the eastern coastal areas.
Over the next 500 years, pottery-making cultures spread west, south, and northwest into the Great Plains, west of the Mississippi, and into Texas and Oklahoma.

The temple was rebuilt in the Kamakura period by Minamoto no Yoritomo (who is also credited with building the 1425 stone steps), out of gratitude for sheltering him during the Heiji rebellion.
The temple suffered from repeated fires during the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, so most written records have been destroyed; however, the Archaeological record in the form of many pottery shards and sutra mounds indicates that the temple existed as a center of both Buddhism and folk religion into the Sengoku period.

The separation of Buddhism from Shinto and the hostile attitude of the new Meiji government towards Buddhism dealt a heavy blow to Hōrai-ji, and with the opening of the Tōkaidō Main Line railway, the number of pilgrims was reduced.
In 1905, the temple was made a subsidiary of Hōrin-ji in Kyoto which amalgamated the Tendai portion of the temple back into the Shingon portion.

Pekelman was born in Born in Mărculești in Bessarabia Governorate, Russian Empire (in present-day Moldova), to a religious Jewish family of merchants that gave great importance to education and diligence.
It was Ada Maimon, ten years Pekelman's senior, from the same hometown, who helped her upon arrival and advised her to learn flooring.
In 1925, the rape that she suffered resulted in the birth of her first daughter, Tikva, who died after about one month as a result of poisoning.
On January 19, 1940, Pekelman threw herself to her death from the third floor balcony of the Esther Cinema on Dizengoff Square.
As told in her book, in 1925 Pekelman travelled to Tel Aviv for a farewell party held by a friend toward his leaving the country.
She describes meeting, after the party, a fellow pioneer named Yeruham Mirkin, who insistently invited her to join him in his cousin's room, where she reported he beat her up and raped her.
After some time she went back to a flooring job in Tel Aviv, but did not feel well, and a doctor she visited told her she was pregnant.

The 600th (Russian) Infantry Division was a military division that was formed by the German Army during the Second World War.
The division was established on 1 December 1944 and was also known as the 1st Infantry Division of the Russian Liberation Army.
The division was built up in Münsingen and was formally part of the Ersatzheer, the reserve army of the Wehrmacht, during the build-up period.
On 28 January 1945, when construction was completed, the command was handed over to the Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia (KONR), which was granted the status of ally.
In Andrei Vlasov, the army of the KONR, the VS KONR, had its own commander-in-chief and thus an independent position with regard to the Wehrmacht.
The core of the division was formed by remnants of the abolished 29th Russian SS Waffen-Grenadier-Division and 30th Russian SS Waffen-Grenadier-Division.
This was supplemented by thirteen Russian battalions of the Wehrmacht and a large number of former prisoners of war and forced laborers.
At full strength, the division had 18,000 men and was equipped with, among other things, a number of T-34 tanks, Jagdpanzer 38(t) tank hunters, a few armored vehicles and various types of artillery guns.
As a fire baptism, a small detachment from the 1st Division was successfully deployed in February 1945 against Soviet troops at Neulewin on the Oder.
At the beginning of April the division arrived in the area of ​​Heeresgruppe Weichsel, where it launched an attack on the Red Army at Erlenhof on 13 April, supported by the VS-KONR air force.
When the attack got stuck within a few hours and the division had lost about 370 men, Boenjatshenko decided to move south, to the area between Linz and Budweis, where Vlasov wanted to concentrate his troops.
Here, Boenjatshenko was approached by representatives of the Czech resistance, who prepared an uprising in Prague to expel the Germans from the city.
The uprising broke out on May 5 and was assisted by the 1st Division the next day without the knowledge of Vlasov.
Although thanks to the Russians most of the city could be freed, their help aroused the anger of the Czech Communists, who demanded that they surrender to the Red Army.
The division finally tried to surrender to the Americans, who, in spite of international law, extradited the Russians to the Soviet Union, where the soldiers ended up in Gulag camps.

The Henry M. Jackson Hydroelectric Project, or Jackson Hydro Project, is an electric power generating project on the Sultan river operated and maintained by the Snohomish County Public Utility District (SnoPUD) in Washington state, co-licensed by the city of Everett, Washington.
The facility consists of a single powerhouse, two main generating units, a switch-yard, and transmission lines—all of which are directly connected to the county's local 115 kV sub-transmission network.
The largest generating station operated by the Snohomish county PUD, the Jackson Hydro powerhouse has a total nameplate capacity of 112 megawatts, enough to power 53,200 homes, and accounts for 7 percent of the Snohomish county PUD's total power needs.
The vast majority of the Snohomish county PUD's power comes from the Chief Joseph Dam, located in eastern Washington, through long-term contracts with the Bonneville Power Administration.
The Jackson Hydroelectric Project was constructed in two phases, the first of which was completed in 1965 with the construction of the Culmback Dam, creating Spada lake—the water supply for the Jackson Hydro Project.
The second phase was completed in 1984, when the Culmback dam was raised an additional 62 feet, quadrupling the water capacity of Spada lake.

Indigenous rangers are Indigenous Australians who are combine traditional knowledge with conservation training in order to protect and manage their land, sea and culture.
Many rangers are employed both in Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs) and other parts of Australia, including the Torres Strait Islands and other islands.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men and women employed as rangers have reported benefits to wellbeing and as well as benefiting their own and the wider Australian community.
Many of Australia's threatened species and ecosystems are located on IPAs and/or in remote parts of Australia, and 19.63% of Australia falls in protected areas, with much of this in remote deserts.
The federal Working on Country program was established by the Howard government in 2007, with the aim of creating meaningful employment, training and career pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in managing land and sea areas, as well as maintaining their cultures, and sharing their skills and knowledge with others.
Many rangers are employed both in Indigenous Protected Areas and other parts of Australia, including the Torres Strait Islands, Flinders Island and Cape Barren Island off Tasmania, and Croker Island and Groote Eylandt off the Northern Territory.
In April 2018 the government announced that it would commit in funding until June 2021, which would support 118 ranger groups.
establishing a long-term target of 5,000 ranger positions nationally, increasing the funding for services supporting the programs, and extending the lengths of contracts to at least ten years, for greater stability.

Little Flower Mission operated from 1938 - 1942 and it was a mission to Eastern Arrernte people who were living in and around the township of Alice Springs.
Dr. Charles Duguid, a Presbertyrian social reformer and Aboriginal rights activist, inspired the creation of the mission after sharing his condemnation of conditions for Aboriginal people in Alice Springs.
Responding to Duguid's call the mission was established in 1935 by Catholic priest Father Patrick Moloney and the lay missionary Francis McGarry.
Father Moloney, who had previous experience establishing missions (Palm Island in 1931 and Menindee in 1933) originally planned for the mission to seek Aboriginal people who had little contact with Europeans but, after 2 unsuccessful expeditions into the desert, he decided that Eastern Arrernte fringe-dwellers in Alice Springs, would be the most amenable to the mission and also some of the most in need.
This lack of food, caused by the devastating impacts of colonisation, was a major factor that attracted so many Arrernte people to the many missions that were established in Alice Springs.
The mission was established 1 October 1935, on the feast day of St Therese of Lisieux, which is also known as 'Little Flower' and it was initially located in the Alice Springs town centre; on Bath Street.
It is often said that McGarry played a uniquely pivotal roll in the mission and this is because Father Moloney believed that St Therese had meant the Mission to be McGarry's, not his, as officially it had to be.
At the new mission McGarry fed, clothed and taught Aboriginal children at the presbytery everyday and, after interest from the adults, began teaching adult catechism classes.
It was this resistance, and that the town was a prohibited area, that necessitated the move to Charles Creek in 1937.
The missions new location on the Charles River, nearby the Alice Springs Telegraph Station (which was then operating at The Bungalow), was on the town's northern boundary and was still only a short walk to the presbytery.
To allow this move the government agreed to increase the size of the Aboriginal Reserve around the Telegraph Station and it came to include all the land on the eastern side of the Charles River as far south as it met with the Todd River; this significantly increased the grazing land for the Bungalow's goat herd which supplied milk for the children.
At this new site McGarry, and the newly arrived Brother Ed Bennett, sank a well and built a schoolroom, kitchen and laundry; working side-by-side with Arrernte men from the mission.
Following the completion of these buildings, and after forming an advisory council of 8 senior Aboriginal men, they pegged out plots on the mission site for each family and built Wurlies on them.
These wurlies, called ‘Camp IV’, were not approved by the government and regularly drew ire from Alice Springs residents who complained about the proximity of the camp to town.
A mission census in April 1937 counted 113 people in residence at the mission: sixty children, twenty six women and twenty seven men; living in thirty seven wurlies.
By August 1938 there were 140 people living at the mission in thirty nine wurlies: fifty children, forty women and fifty men.
In 1942, following the bombing of Darwin, the mission was forced to move from Alice Springs as the town became an base and large numbers of soldiers moved to the town.
The mission was ordered to relocate approximately 100 km north to Arltunga, a former mining town, which is now the Arltunga Historical Reserve.
McGarry was asked to leave the mission shortly after the move was completed; likely due to his fraught relationship with the sisters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart.
At this site is became known as the Arltunga Mission and, in 1953, it moved again to Santa Teresa (now known as: Ltyentye Apurte Community).
Little Flower Court, in the Anthelk-Ewlpaye (Charles Creek) Town Camp, is named for the mission and it is located on the original site of the mission.

Catalytic Communities (CatComm) is a Rio de Janeiro-based non-profit, think tank, and advocacy non-government organization (NGO) that conducts work in sustainable community development, human rights, communications, and urban planning.
The organization influenced the narrative on the Olympics by publishing articles with community perspectives (in both Portuguese and English) and maintaining contact with international journalists through press conferences and social media engagement.
Instead, they argued that these communities were subject to misrepresentations around the world and should be instead referred to as favelas.
It aimed to avoid blanket statements for describing neighborhoods as dramatized descriptions of drug trafficking and shanties, which didn't apply to the vast majority of favela residents.
The RioOnWatch initiative was subsequently recognized as the go-to source for information on favelas in Brazil, particularly amidst the media coverage of the Olympics.
In 2000, the organization was founded by Theresa Williamson while completing her PhD in city planning at the University of Pennsylvania.
She has won numerous prizes and awards, including the 2005 Gill-Chin Lim Award for Best Dissertation on International Planning, 2012 National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials Award for her contributions to the international housing debate, and the 2018 American Society of Rio prize for her contributions to the city.
Williamson previously worked as a Network & Communications Consultant for the Forests Now campaign in Oxford, United Kingdom and as a translator and English instructor to the General Ombudsman's Office in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil.
Available in Portuguese, English and Spanish, the database was designed to allow community activists and organizers to share ideas, disseminate information, and document best practices.
While much of this early work was not concerned with direct political action, it effectively brought social projects into the conversation of how to improve local communities using the technology available at the time.
Along with its CSD network, CatComm also initially ran a community center in Rio de Janeiro known as Casa do Gestor Catalisador (Casa Community Technology Hub).
Based in Rio's central historic port area, the Casa attracted over 1,000 local leaders and 400 external professionals (journalists, activists, professors, students) from 22 nations to engage in new projects.
With its goals being accomplished through the evolution of technology and digital platforms, both the CSD and Casa were terminated in 2008.
During the 2016 Summer Olympics, CatComm and RioOnWatch were particularly active in working to prevent forced evictions and protection local neighborhoods.
The municipal government of Rio de Janeiro pushed for the removal of local neighborhoods to create wealthier ones, such as in the favelas of Indiana, Babilônia, Vidigal, Vila União de Curicica, Metrô-Mangueira, and Horto.
In response, CatComm conducted workshops, produced educational material, and sought to protect the 1.4 million people in Rio de Janeiro's favelas.
There were also numerous educational programming campaigns on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, WordPress, and Blogger that brought international attention to the cause.
It recognized that Olympic organizers consistently pushed the notion that the Olympic Games were good for cities and countries, and evidence suggested that mainstream media outlets tended to disseminate a similar message.
In turn, international press organizations highlighted the gap between the government's rhetoric and the more complicated reality of Rio through the work of CatComm.
CatComm thus promoted the image of favelas as culturally rich and economically vibrant communities that maintained historic architecture in the face of increased gentrification.
It has since aimed to inform international development organizations, publish columns specific to Brazil's favela communities, highlight successful organization strategies, popularize innovative urban planning concepts, and documenting the legacy of the Olympics on favelas.
The former was the recipient of the Best Mid-Length Film Award at the Cine Periferia Pai D’égua Film Festival in Belém.
According to its more recent annual report in 2019, RioOnWatch had an increased readership of 50% with over 3,2000 articles published and 350,000 people reached per month.
A survey by the SFN found that 85% of the favela organizations wanted to install solar panels and transition to other sustainable technologies.
SFN was also a major attempt to promote international dialogue on the topic of sustainability through mapping initiatives and quantitative analysis.
Further attempts to bring the CLT to other at-risk communities around the world, such as Caño Martín Peña communities in Puerto Rico, have recently begun.
Since its founding, SFN has made a tangible impact on the Rio de Janeiro, with 54% of its organizations women-led and over 150 initiatives planned.
As of today, the CLT working group has over 150 members in 67 institutions who regularly participated in community workshops and legislative proposals.
Currently in its third phase of organizational development, CatComm its present mission as supporting sustainable and asset-based community development (ABCD) in Rio's favelas.
In Phase IV (2024–2030), according to its website, it will seek to expand its model of urban integration and social equity on a global scale.

As a MIDI controller, it does not make or output any musical sounds by itself; rather, it sends MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) messages about which notes are played (and with which types of expression) to an external synth module or computer music program running on a laptop or other computer.
Each key on the 12 Step senses the velocity, aftertouch pressure, and the amount of tilt the player is applying with her feet.
The messages from the player's foot presses can be sent via USB to a computer-based virtual instrument or to a USB-equipped synthesizer or other electronic or digital musical instrument.
The expressive nuances in playing the 12 Step can be used to make a virtual instrument or synthesizer's melodic line change in sound or timbre.
For example, a melody line could be played to get louder and softer by pressing the keys harder or more gently; by continuing to hold down a long note, the player could trigger effects such as vibrato; and by tilting the foot on the key, they could trigger a pitch bend (depending on the user's programmqing of the 12 Step and the design of the synth patch).
The 12 Step's keys can be used to play individual notes in many octaves, enabling it to be used to play anything from deep-pitched basslines or high-pitched melody lines.
The programmable chord feature enables performers to play chords with their feet and accompany themselves or be a one man band.
The 12 Step has 59 factory preset programming choices, including a chromatic scale and many different types of chords (major, minor, dominant seventh, power chords, etc.).
Most 1980s and 1990s-era bass pedal MIDI controllers are simply an on-off switch, so players could not add expressive changes of dynamics or nuance to their foot-played musical lines.
The buttons on the SoftStep are user programmable, so each person could customize their SoftStep to control different functions on their computer music or electronic gear's set up.
The one drawback of the SoftStep is that even though it can be programmed to play individual notes on a synthesizer, it was not intended to be used as a musical instrument.
The 12 Step has a 13 keys laid out in a musical keyboard fashion, appearing like the chromatic octave starting on C on a piano keyboard.
The 12 Step is USB plug-and-play, which means that it can be plugged directly into a compatible computer without needing software drivers.
As such, a musician with a virtual instrument on her computer could play scales and melodies using the virtual instrument just by plugging the 12 Step into a USB port on the computer.
The 12 Step can be used to play 1980s and 1990s-era synthesizers and hardware instruments that are pre-USB (e.g., a DX-7 synth or TR-808 drum machine), which only have 5-pin MIDI connectors by using the KMI MIDI Expander, a unit that is sold separately.
Each of the keys on the 12 Step have bright white backlighting from an LED, so the keys can be seen on a dark stage.
As well, each key has a red LED light that turns on if you press the key, to help you know if you are pressing the intended key.
The keys sense velocity (how hard or soft the foot hits the key), poly aftertouch (whether or not your foot continues to press the key after the initial strike, which can be used to add nuance to sustained notes, such as by triggering vibrato or other effects) and pitch bend (a gliding glissando sound).
One feature in the 12 Step not found in other MIDI foot controllers is that each key can be programmed to play up to five notes.
This way, a violin player performing a pop song as a one man band could program the 12 Step keys to play the chords she needs.
A bass player in a power trio could program the 12 Step to play power chords, enabling her to provide chordal accompaniment for the lead guitarist's guitar solo with her feet while she plays bass with her hands.
The first preset is a chromatic scale starting in C. But even users who only want to play individual notes are not limited to that scale or arrangement.
The user could create presets for all of the different keys that they use, so that the keys of the 12 Step could be used to play in different musical keys, while maintaining the familiar C major pattern.
For example, if a performer wished to play a song in C# Major, the entire chromatic scale of the 12 Step could be transposed up a semitone.
Thus, by playing the song using the keys (the buttons on the 12 Step) for C Major, the synthesizer would produce a sound transposed to C# Major.
Each key has a little red LED light that illuminates when the key is pressed, which helps the performer confirm which note they have pressed.
The 12 Step has 59 factory presets, such as a chromatic scale, major chords, minor chords, sus chords power chords, diatonic chords (in the key of C major, this would be the chords C major, d minor, e minor, F Major, G7 and so on), to name a few.
The user can program and save up to 128 presets, and give them names that will appear on the display panel.
Using this feature, a user could program the 12 Step to send a program change message to their synthesizer module, selecting a certain synth patch or sound when a certain preset is chosen.
The user needs to download the free 12 Step Editor program to do programming of new presets or make changes to the unit's settings (such as the touch sensitivity of the keys), using a laptop, desktop or tablet computer.
The 12 Step gets its power from the USB bus from the computer it is plugged into or from the Expander unit's port (the Expander is powered by a wall adapter).
Batt states that he found pressing the small keys hard while wearing shoes, but he acknowledged that there are Hammond organists who have made videos of themselves playing organ bass on the 12 Step.

Dom Denis Chavis (as he was known in French) or Dīyūnisūs Shāwīsh (as he called himself in his native language, ) was a Syrian priest and monk who flourished in the 1780s.
While in Paris, Chavis was short of money, and sought to capitalise on a revival of interest in Oriental literature that was going on in the 1880s.
Galland had based his French text on the three-volume and infamously incomplete Galland Manuscript, which he had supplemented with extra stories from sources both written and oral.
Chavis set about producing a manuscript which he intended to present as a copy of a more complete Galland Manuscript than really existed—one that would provide Arabic-language 'sources' for tales whose only written form was Galland's French.
He began copying the Galland Manuscript, and as he did so, he adapted his exemplar, adding in some contemporary Syrianisms and more vulgar language for dramatic effect.
Having copied most of the real Galland Manuscript, Chavis proceeded to produce a further manuscript, purportedly a copy of newly identified fourth and fifth volumes of the Galland Manuscript (now Bibliothèque Nationale, MSS arabes 3616).
Chavis then proceeded to include some other tales translated from Galland's French into Arabic, and some which he copied from a manuscript of stories in Arabic that he seems to have brought with him from Syria.
Surviving correspondence suggests an awkward collaboration, in which Chavis promised to deliver material and sought money but did not entirely satisfy Cazotte and Barde.

Mount Sicapoo (sā-kā-pöö', derived from 'Suko Na Po', meaning 'I Give Up') is a mountain in the Cordillera Central of Ilocos Norte, Luzon, northern Philippines.
It lies to the south of Mount Kilang, to the southeast of Laoag and to the east of the Padsan River.
Ascents of the mountain begin at the Gasgas River in nearby Solsona and initially lead to the campsite at Saulay, before moving to Bubuos and Pakpako campsites.
Due to its steep cliffs in places, particularly approaching the summit, it is considered highly treacherous and exceptionally difficult to climb.
In October 2016, when Typhoon Haima broke out, the mountain played a role in diminishing its power as it headed towards China, though it remained a Category 1 Typhoon.
It was inaugurated on 28 April 1990 as part of the first section of the line between Villa El Salvador and Atocongo.

The Ōtoriiyama ruins are located approximately two kilometers northeast of Yokote city hall, on the east side of the confluence of the Yokote River and its tributary, the Yoshizawa River.
The site was discovered when Yokote City planned the development of a general sports park in the area, and excavations were conducted over a seven-year period from 1977 to 1983.
The ruins consist of the traces of a castle with a huge double moat and an earthen rampart, which was constructed from the second half of the 10th century to the second half of the 11th century.
The ruins extend for 680 meters north–south by 200 meters east–west, with earthen walls and moats in the three directions that do not face the river.
The earthen wall is 10 meters wide, 2 meters high, and the wet moat is 8 meters wide and about 3.5 meters deep.
Within the moats and earthen ramparts was a fence line, and along the fence was the foundations of a building which probably functioned as a guardhouse.
The size of the castle and the strength of its fortifications were exceptional for the period, and are more typical of a Sengoku period fortification.
Artifacts associated with the Kiyowara clan were found in this area, including a small earthenware bowl which may have been used at banquets.
The outline of the castle is similar to the later Yanagi-no-Gosho fortification in Hiraizumi and may have served as the inspiration for its design.
At present, the ruins have been back-filled and the sports complex has been developed as originally planned, with the remainder of the site becoming residential land.

His aristocratic background, despite being marked by illegitimacy, would be decisive for his career, which began with the completion of a solid program of theological studies, which started in Lisbon and continued in Valladolid and Paris, following the which he related to important figures of European humanism, with emphasis on Erasmus, to whom he was introduced in 1520.
In 1522 Martinho returns to Portugal, and through his family links is given an canonical stipend the chancellorship of the Cathedral of Évora, which was at the time led by his father.
In 1523, he governed the diocese of Viseu in the name of Afonso de Portugal, until the arrival of its Bishop João de Chaves.
In Martinho was sent back to the pontifical court in 1532, this time in charge of opening negotiations with the aim of achieving the establishment of the Inquisition in Portugal.
On February 10, 1533, while in Rome, Martinho is appointed as archbishop of Funchal, following the concession of the category of metropolitan to the ecclesiastical province of Funchal, obtained from Clement VII on January 31 of the same year.
Nevertheless, the bulls that would make the elevation of Martinho were not issued, which may have been due, on one hand, to his condition as an illegitimate son and, on the other, to some unavailability of King João III in honouring the financial charges that he was obliged to when nominating Martinho for the position.
At that time, in order to elevate the ecclesiastical circumscription of Funchal to a metropolis, the king had committed himself to increase the archbishop's income by 200,000 réis, that is, to double the remuneration previously attributed to the Bishop of Funchal, therefore, generating new expenses for the Crown.
Martinho would later complain about the omission of such bulls in 1535, and because of it, the actual existence of the archdiocese of Funchal was questioned.
The circumstances underlying the monarch's will to allow the appointment as Archbishop would be linked to the desire to reward services previously provided by Martinho, and to favour his predisposition to act in the strict defence of the royal interests regarding the establishment of the Inquisition in Portugal.
Nevertheless, Martinho's action in Rome was apparently more oriented towards the search for a legitimation of his birth that in turn would allow his promotion to Cardinal, than centred on the mission that the monarch had entrusted to him.
The creation of Martinho as Archbishop of Funchal was also rooted on the need to find a structure that, without disturbing the position of any of the other two national metropolitans, that of Braga and the Lisbon, would authorize the establishment of several overseas dioceses and promote ecclesiastical decentralization in the new territories of the empire.
Later, in 1547, he was elected bishop of the Algarve, but he was not confirmed, because he died before taking office.
Despite never having personally visited the Madeira, the seat of his archdiocese, Martinho de Portugal did not neglect the responsibilities that his position entailed.
As archbishop he ordered the creation of two new canonries, four new chaplaincies and one sacristan, with the aiming of improving the living conditions of the islanders and local clergy.
Shortly after arriving to Madeira, D. Ambrósio neglected the tasks that were assigned to him, performing ordinations all over the Island in the second half of the year and, having finished his duties, he returned to mainland Portugal.
The same did not happen with the visitors, who remained until the following year, also visiting the parishes and taking steps to correct the non-conformities they encountered.
During the time of their stay, the visitors appointed by Martinho de Portugal reported the following non-conformities and threatened those who practised them with excomunication: speaking during masses, singing, dancing and sleeping in church.
As for the Madeiran clergy the visitors appointed by Martinho were expected to persevere in teaching doctrine to the faithful, to be vigilant in relation to unmarried couples and to those who married illegally, to ring the bell three times a day, to be concerned with cleaning the altars and vestments.
In an effort to promote the status of his archdiocese, Martinho de Portugal sent to Funchal religious relics to be stored in the cathedral's altar.
With him the Archdiocese of Funchal disappeared, which, as early as 1539, had been amputated from its jurisdiction over the East, whose lands, from the Cape of Good Hope, came to be under the direct control of the Diocese of Goa.

The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic plans to celebrate the day with a parade and other activities in Stepanakert on 9 May, also celebrating the 28th anniversary of the Capture of Shusha during the Nagorno-Karabakh War.
In addition, the Serbian Armed Forces plans to celebrate that holiday in Belgrade on 9 May, honoring both the living Serbian veterans of the Yugoslav Partisans and the Royal Yugoslav Armed Forces in the Second World War and the veterans of the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.
He lived with his father John Handsley (fisherman) and mother Rebecca Raithby and was the middle son of three boys, elder brother Charles John Henry and younger brother Fred.
Following the death of his mother in 1883, his father continued to raise the children until Jesse joined the Navy in 1894.
It is likely that the children were educated as it was noted that most of the men on Discovery could read and write.
A hut (known as the Discovery Hut) was erected, intended as accommodation for the men but it proved to be too cold so the ship became their living quarters and base camp.
The relief ship SY Morning arrived with supplies and several of Discovery's crew returned to England aboard the Morning, although the majority remained and the expedition was extended for another season.
In late 1903 the Morning returned with the Terra Nova (ship) with explicit orders to bring back all the expedition members if the Discovery could not be freed.
Scott and his crew did not relish the prospect of abandoning Discovery, their home for the last three years and set about releasing her with renewed efforts Discovery finally broke free and the three ships left Antarctica together.
The voyage from Antarctica was fraught with danger but the expedition finally reached London and the crew were welcomed as heroes.
The ship was saved from the breakers yard in 1979 and restored and is now the centrepiece of Dundee's visitor attraction at Discovery Point, Dundee.
The other tragedy of the expedition occurred in Antarctica when George Vince slid to his death over a precipice into the water whilst wearing fur boots which were the wrong type of footwear for the conditions.
22 Nov party split and Jesse, who was used to working at sea level, had been suffering at the high altitude with his chest.
Scott praised Jesse for his determination to carry on but and it was decided that he and two others would return to Discovery whilst Scott, Evans and Lashly would continue on, returning to Discovery on Christmas Eve.
31 Dec 1903 - Jesse was now recovered and joined the sawing camp which was set up to saw through the great ice-sheet which intervened between the Discovery and the sea.
Scott decided that they should prepare for another winter and Jesse with three others set about raids on the penguins to ensure a winter food stock.
Jesse’s conduct was assessed each year, mostly as good, but he served at least two sessions of cell punishment during his 23 years service.
His service record does show that his conduct was assessed as very good towards the end of his tragically short life.
Emily died in 1919, Herbert never married and spent his later life in an Chalfont Epilepsy Colony until his death in 1963.
Mount Handsley, named in 1969 by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee in recognition of his efforts on a major sledging journey with Scott, Evans, Feather Skelton and Lashly Evans up the Ferrar and Taylor Glaciers in 1903.

The surface of the Rivière aux Pommes (except the rapids areas) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; safe circulation on the ice is generally done from the end of December to the beginning of March.
The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.

ASIL accuracy describes the maximum possible deviation of a measurement in a system in which a single point fault occurred before some diagnostic detects this fault.
This concept applies to automotive systems designed under the ISO-26262 methodology for automotive functional safety, which defines Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASILs) to classify risks.
While accuracy refers to a single measurement, ASIL accuracy considers variation in the primary measurement being assessed as well as variation in the diagnostic measurement or measurements used to detect single point faults.
A fault in the primary measurement can be detected by comparing the primary and diagnostic measurements, and signaling a fault if the difference is outside the expected operating range.
If the two measurements are truly independent and uncorrelated, in normal operation they can be at opposite ends of their operating ranges.
If the primary measurement has an accuracy V1, and if the redundant diagnostic measurement has an accuracy V2, then the fault detection limit should be set to at least VLIM=V1+V2 to avoid false positives.
If the diagnostic measurement V2 is at the maximum of its operating range, the primary measurement can drift VLIM further before the fault is raised.

The European Geoparks Network is a founding member of the Global Geoparks Network and it functions as a regional geopark network of it.
As of 2020, there are 75 UNESCO Global Geoparks in 26 European countries and there are several territories in an aspiring or planned phase, or in a national geopark status.
The European Geoparks Network (EGN) functions as the regional organization of the Global Geoparks Network (GGN) and the UNESCO International Geosciences and Geoparks Programme (UNESCO-IGGP).
Its main objective is to ensure cooperation between geoparks for the protection of geological heritage and the promotion of sustainable development of their territories in Europe.
In 2020 January, the EGN had 75 institutional members (UNESCO Global Geoparks) from 26 European countries and there are several aspiring geopark projects, applying for a UNESCO label and therefore the permanent EGN membership.
The 1990s are widely considered as the birth of geoheritage as a dedicated domain of the geosciences, dealing with the preservation and valorisation of the Earth's abiotical heritage, its geodiversity.
The idea of coordinated work on geology-focused territorial frameworks in Europe was discussed during the International Geological Congress in Beijing, 1997.
They signed the convention on the establishment of the European Geoparks Label and the Network itself, with the intention of sharing information and expertise, as well as defining common tools.
On 20 April 2001, during the 3rd EGN Coordination Meeting, the Convention of Cooperation was signed between UNESCO Division of Earth Sciences and the EGN at Parc Cabo de Gata in Spain, defining the basis of the partnership between the two signatories.
In February 2004 the Global Geoparks Network (GGN) was founded in Paris by the members of EGN and the Chinese Geopark Network.
The international partnership was developed under the umbrella of UNESCO and in October 2004 the Madonie Declaration was issued during the 5th Annual Meeting of EGN.
In November 2015, the 38th UNESCO General Conference adopted the International Geosciences and Geoparks Programme, officially approving the geopark concept to its framework and merging it with the existing International Geoscience Programme.
The EGN operates under the auspices of the Statutes of the Global Geoparks Network, supplemented with the Rules of Operation of EGN, based on the Charter of EGN, signed in 2000.
They function as the forums to enhance the cooperation of geoparks and the promotion of the geopark concept on a national level and taking over directly selected activities of EGN / GGN in a country.
The executive decisions and operative work of EGN take place within the half-year coordination meetings, hosted every spring and autumn by one of the institutional members.
The six-monthly coordination meetings of the autumn periods run parallel with the Annual Meetings (2000 – 2012) and European Geoparks Conferences, now organized every two years.
These are open to non-institutional and non-individual EGN members as well, functioning as venues of scientific exchange and networking opportunity, related to the geoparks concept.

While Mr. Bumble preaches Christian principle he himself fails to live up to these lofty ideals by behaving without compassion or mercy toward the paupers under his charge.
In his novels Dickens chose his character's names carefully and 'Bumble' lives up to the symbolism of his name through his displays of self-importance, greed, hypocrisy and foolishness.
His amorous feelings being reciprocated, the two soon marry but Bumble's new wife turns out to be a sharp-tongued and tyrannical woman who nags and browbeats him.
By Chapter 37 Bumble has been married for two months and is no longer beadle but is now Master of the workhouse; however, he is not happy with his more advanced situation.
With these words, Mr. Bumble opened the door, and walked in with a very fierce and angry manner: which was at once exchanged for a most humiliated and cowering air, as his eyes unexpectedly rested on the form of his lady wife.
You're a great deal too fond of poking your nose into things that don't concern you, making everybody in the house laugh, the moment your back is turned, and making yourself look like a fool every hour in the day.
Mr. Bumble, seeing with excruciating feelings, the delight of the two old paupers, who were tittering together most rapturously, hesitated for an instant.
Mrs. Bumble, whose patience brooked no delay, caught up a bowl of soap-suds, and motioning him towards the door, ordered him instantly to depart, on pain of receiving the contents upon his portly person.
He looked dejectedly round, and slunk away; and, as he reached the door, the titterings of the paupers broke into a shrill chuckle of irrepressible delight.
He was degraded in their eyes; he had lost caste and station before the very paupers; he had fallen from all the height and pomp of beadleship, to the lowest depth of the most snubbed hen-peckery.
The former Mrs. Corney had been in attendance at the death of the nurse Old Sally and purloined the locket and ring Old Sally had taken from Oliver's mother as she tended her on her deathbed.
Monks buys these items from the Bumbles and throws them into the River Thames, hoping that, by destroying them, Oliver's true identity will remain hidden.
When they are exposed as being complicit in Monks' plot Bumble and his wife are deprived of their offices and themselves are reduced to becoming paupers in the poorhouse where once they had caused so much misery and suffering to others.

Lucas's son, Albert, then came forward and swore under oath that the story was correct and that he had helped his father to make it.
Albert was able to explain how the layers of wax had been built up from old candle ends; he also described how his father would stuff various debris, including newspapers, inside the bust.
When the Berlin museum staff removed the base they found the debris, just as Albert had described it, including a letter dated in the 1840s.
To support this, he displayed the Flora bust among a selection of Lucas's lesser work – this exhibition rather backfired, however, as it showed that Lucas had been regularly making wax sculptures inspired by the great works of previous times.
Various claims and counter-claims have been put forward about the bust, from its being an outright forgery to being a genuine 16th-century piece (albeit not by Leonardo).
Scientific examination has been inconclusive and unhelpful in dating the bust, although it is accepted as having at least some connection with Lucas.
Govenor Larry Hogan appointed Ruth to fill the vacancy created by the appointment of Charles E. Sydnor III to the Maryland Senate.
Susan Dorothea Mary Therese Sweney (2 February 1915 - 30 October 1983) was a British radio broadcaster in Berlin on behalf of the Nazi regime in Germany during the Second World War.
In 1936, Sweney joined the British Union of Fascists (BUF) but left after two years due to attacks on the Jews by the organisation.
After a police raid on her flat she resolved to join her husband who was working in Burma and departed by ship on 28 May 1940.

The 1981 Transamerica Open, also known as the Pacific Coast Championships, was a men's tennis tournament played on indoor carpet courts at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, California in the United States.
The New York County Bank Building at 77-79 Eighth Avenue at West 14th Street in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City – also known as the Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company Building – was built in 1906-1907 and was designed by De Lemos & Cordes and Rudolphe L. Daus in the Neoclassical style.
Renovations and a further addition in 1999 were by Lee Harris of the Hudson River Studios and John Reimnitz and mimic the original architecture.
On June 7, 1988 the building was designated a New York City landmark by the New York City Landmark Preservation Commission.
The New York County National Bank was founded in 1855, and by 1877 occupied the corner lot at Eighth Avenue and 14th Street.
In 1905, it bought the lot next door at 77 Eighth Avenue from John Jacob Astor, which was occupied by a printing house.
The bank commissioned De Lemos and Cordes to design their new building, which was originally to have been eight stories, of which the bank would occupy two, but by the time papers were filed with the city, the building was to be one story with an attic, and De Lemos and Cordes had brought in Rudolphe L. Daus on the project.
In 1921, the New York County National Bank merged with Chatham and Phenix National Bank, which then merged with Metropolitan Trust Company in 1924, forming the Chatham-Phenix National Bank and Trust Company.
This institution was bought in 1932 by Manufacturers Trust Company, which later became Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company (MHT), which continued to use the building as a branch bank.
Since it ceased being used as a bank, the building at 77-79 Eighth Avenue has been the location of a men's gym, and a museum, among other things.
The building's facade is rubbed South Dover marble, which has in the past been painted to match the stone's original color.

Cunynghame was colonel-commandant of the 1st Battalion of the King's Royal Rifle Corps and of the 36th Regiment of Foot (Worcestershire Regiment).
Cunynghame was born at Malshanger House near Oakley, Hampshire, the fifth son of Col. Sir David Cunynghame, 5th Baronet of Milncraig, by his first wife, Mary (or Maria) Thurlow, an illegitimate daughter of Edward Thurlow, 1st Baron Thurlow.
They had two sons: Sir Henry Hardinge Samuel Cunynghame (8 July 1848 – 3 May 1935) and Arthur Hardinge David Cunynghame (17 November 1853 – 14 November 1917).
Penn was to open its season in mid-December against the Quaker City Hockey Club, an organization captained by program founder George Orton, but the school's athletic department refused to allow the team to play.
With this official approval also came the insistence that Penn join the Intercollegiate Hockey Association and play against the likes of Yale and Brown.
While those plans were being ironed out the Philadelphia Hockey League, of which Penn was still a member, replaced Haverford College with Central High School and arranged inter-squad games between each of the four clubs.
The game had been arranged earlier but as many Quaker players had returned home for the holidays the team needed to use graduates as replacements.
When the team finally played its first official game on January 10 they opened with a bang, defeating Central High School 12–0.
The Quakers played well through several games but after the managers of the West Park Ice Palace failed to carry through on an agreement for a benefit night the school refused to use the rink for the remainder of the season.
In December of the following year the Athletic department released the figures for all of the athletic programs the university supported.
The ice hockey team cost the school $210 to support, seventh out of ten programs, but the team had brought in just $38 in gate receipts.
With the debt from the school's athletic department mounting, combined with the closing of the West Park Ice Palace, the ice hockey team was suspended as a luxury that it could not afford.

The Waldorf Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually at Sheepshead Bay Race Track in Sheepshead Bay, New York.
However, the race had a very short tenure after passage of the Hart-Agnew anti-betting legislation by the New York Legislature which devastated horse racing.
The winner's share of the purse for the Waldorf Stakes was always in the area of $6,000 but for what would prove to be its last running, the winner's share for 1908 was reduced by more than 70%.
When a February 21, 1913 ruling by the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division saw horse racing return it was too late for the Sheepshead Bay horse racing facility and it never reopened.

The 104th Operational Maneuvers Regiment is a special forces regiment from the Algerian land forces, It is a paratroopers regiment too like their colleagues from the 116th RMO.
The 104th operational maneuvers regiment was created the 2 of November 2005 by a presidential decret in order to support the ex Algerian SIG and to participate with them to the counter terrorism operations in Algeria.
Moreover, the Algerian land forces wanted to have their special forces regiment because before the creation of the 104th RMO the Algerian army had only 1 special forces unit, the Special Intervention Group, and but they aren't special forces regiment like the 104th RMO but a special regiment like the 75th Rangers of the US Army.
The 104th RMO operators are trained in the (EATS) in Biskra for the skydiving and the special operations, and they're trained too in the (EFCIP) in Boghar on commando techniques, survival, healing and second level special operations.
For that the 104th RMO has a training plateform with several buildings and houses in order to the 104th RMO operators practice the counter terrorism and hostage rescue training.
Tactical lights, laser sight, silencer as well as RONI kits (with silencer and aimpoint sight) are often mounted on the Glock 17 which is the main weapon of the 104th RMO operators.
Assault rifles are customized according to the operator but you can generally find on these weapons laser sights, tactical lights, silencers, anti-recoil sticks, Eotech, Acog, Aimpoint sights, etc.

As his father is a respected head of Banu Fihr, Dhiraar was trained as brave warrior and known as skilled poet.
Dhiraar participated during the battle of Uhud, where he served under Khalid ibn Walid riders ambushing the Muslim archers on the mount of Uhud.
During the Battle of Khandaq, He is one of small band riders of the allied army that being able to jump over the trenches, along with Amr ibn Abd al-Wud, Ikrimah ibn Abi Jahl and Habirah bin abi Wahb.
Sometimes after Dhiraar embraced Islam, he met some people from Aus and Khazraj argued over who of the two tribes was the bravest during the battle of Uhud.
since due to Islamic belief, if a Muslim goes to war and killed by infidels, they certainly goes straightly to heaven without judgment.
Previously it was thought that such wide binary brown dwarfs are not formed or at least are disrupted at ages of 1-10 Myrs.
Together with other wide binaries, such as Oph 162225-240515 or UScoCTIO 108, the existence of this system was inconsistent with the ejection hypothesis, a proposed hypothesis in which brown dwarfs form in a multiple system, but are ejected before they gain enough mass to burn hydrogen.
The system was discovered by Kevin Luhman in 2004 during observations of candidate young brown dwarfs in Chamaeleon I, using the Magellan I telescope.
The primary 2M1101A has a spectral type of M7.25 ± 0.25, with a mass of about 52 and a temperature of 2838 K (2565 °C; 4649 °F).
The secondary 2M1101B has a spectral type of M8.25 ± 0.25, with a mass of about 26 and a temperature of 2632 K (2359 °C; 4279 °F).
Based on spectral features, such as sodium and potassium absorption lines it was concluded that both brown dwarfs are young and part of Chamaeleon I.
The brown dwarfs in 2M1101AB belong to the youngest substellar members of Chamaeleon I with an approximately age of 1 million years.
Nomadic bands of Rogue River Indians had been raiding settlements in Southwest Oregon causing settlers to retaliate occasionally targeting innocent tribes.
Lane would accompany Aldon's battalion (composed of two Oregon companies under Jacob Rhodes and James P. Goodall) toward Table Rock to rendezvous with Colonel Ross at a designated point on Evans Creek.

Garnier de Rochefort, a 12th-century French cleric, was Abbot of (1175–1180), Abbot of Clairvaux (1186–1193), and finally Bishop of Langres (1193–1199).
On his return, he resigned and retired to Clairvaux Abbey until his death, which likely occurred in 1225 (though certain 19th-century historians say 1200).
She is also shown carrying a blacklight, which is typically used to find substances that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
It was first identified by a forensic laboratory in Hungary in 2015, but has subsequently been found in numerous other countries around the world including Spain, Belgium, Poland, Turkey and Brazil.
As far as gameplay goes, the game plays like other mahjong titles released at the time, as the goal of players is to take points from other players by drawing and discarding tiles until a winning hand is made.
The player can choose between one of the three selectable girls at the beginning to start a match: Sayuri, Yukari and Megumi.
The game is over once the players has zero points or less in their favor, unless more credits are inserted into the arcade machine to continue playing.
The game ran on a proprietary arcade board manufactured by Toaplan, which used a Zilog Z80 clocked at 6 megahertz, as well as the General Instrument AY-3-8910 chip for sound, while its visuals were rendered at 260 x 240 pixels.
On 29 August 2018, an album containing its audio, as well as from other Toaplan titles was published exclusively in Japan by City Connection under their Clarice Disk label.
Daniela Hantuchová and Arantxa Sánchez Vicario won the title by defeating Tathiana Garbin and Janette Husárová 6–3, 1–6, 7–5 in the final.
Joseph Mees (18 April 1923 – 9 December 2001) was a Belgian prelate of the Catholic Church who spent his career in the diplomatic service of the Holy See, including almost twenty years as an Apostolic Nuncio.
Rather than support the anti-apartheid efforts of the South African bishops led by Denis Hurley, Archbishop of Durban, Mees quoted Pope John Paul's structures against clerical participation in politics, the same words South African President P.W.
Mees left South Africa in October 1987, apparently recalled to Rome, leaving in charge of the nunciature Mario Cassari, who gave the bishops' political efforts his enthusiastic endorsement.
It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador.
Thomas Lorraine Hunt (11 February 1882 – 17 April 1938) was a Canadian-American landscape painter of the 1920s and 30s, known especially for his dramatic use of color.
His primary subjects were boats and harbors in which the colors and shapes on the canvas took precedence over the exactness of the objects.
Hunt was active among the Southern California group of Impressionist plein air painters and a founding member of the Laguna Art Museum.
Thomas Lorraine Hunt was born 11 February 1882 in London, Ontario, Canada, the son of the landscape artist William Powell Hunt.
Beginning at age 19, Hunt worked as a traveling salesman, then began taking landscape art seriously in 1908 at the age of 26.
In Cleveland, Hunt earned a living in apartment construction as a general contractor and real estate developer, however, in the city directories he listed his occupation as artist.
Following a vacation trip to Southern California with his wife and parents in 1922, Hunt sold his real estate holdings in Cleveland and moved to San Bernardino, California.
Hunt continued to earn a living with real estate development projects in Hollywood and San Bernardino, but became an active figure in the artist community.
In 1926, Hunt received a commission from the Elks Club of Los Angeles for a painting that would depict the end of the war with Mexico in 1848.
He became a member of the Laguna Beach Art Association and worked on the selection committee to locate a site for the Association's permanent gallery, which became the Laguna Art Museum.
His exhibition prizes included a 1st place at the 1928 California State Exhibition, 2nd in 1927 Laguna Beach Art Association (LBAA) exhibit, honorable mention from the San Diego Fine Arts Guild in 1933, 3rd at the 1933 LBAA exhibit, the 1933 Gertrude Streater Award for Landscape from the Pasadena Art Institute, and the 1933 Prize for Oil Painting from the San Diego Fine Arts Society.
Hunt had suffered from stomach ulcers for many years, and died at Santa Ana Hospital on 17 April 1938 after surgery for surgery for a perforated ulcer.
Although his father was a noted landscape artist, and Hunt took some classes from Hugh Breckenridge, he is considered to be mostly self-taught.
The first major collection and exhibition of paintings by Thomas Hunt was held in the fall of 2019 at the Laguna Art Museum.
In celestial mechanics and the mathematics of the -body problem, a central configuration is a system of point masses with the property that each mass is pulled by the combined gravitational force of the system directly towards the center of mass, with acceleration proportional to its distance from the center.
Central configurations may be studied in Euclidean spaces of any dimension, although only dimensions one, two, and three are directly relevant for celestial mechanics.
For equal masses, one possible central configuration places the masses at the vertices of a regular polygon (forming a Klemperer rosette), a Platonic solid, or a regular polytope in higher dimensions.
It is also possible to place an additional point, of arbitrary mass, at the center of mass of the system without changing its centrality.
Placing three masses in an equilateral triangle, four at the vertices of a regular tetrahedron, or more generally masses at the vertices of a regular simplex produces a central configuration even when the masses are not equal.
Under Newton's law of universal gravitation, bodies placed at rest in a central configuration will maintain the configuration as they collapse to a collision at their center of mass.
Systems of bodies in a two-dimensional central configuration can orbit stably around their center of mass, maintaining their relative positions, with circular orbits around the center of mass or in elliptical orbits with the center of mass at a focus of the ellipse.
These are the only possible stable orbits in three-dimensional space in which the system of particles always remains similar to its initial configuration.
More generally, any system of particles moving under Newtonian gravitation that all collide at a single point in time and space will approximate a central configuration, in the limit as time tends to the collision time.
Similarly, a system of particles that eventually all escape each other at exactly the escape velocity will approximate a central configuration in the limit as time tends to infinity.
And any system of particles that move under Newtonian gravitation as if they are a rigid body must do so in a central configuration.
Vortices in two-dimensional fluid dynamics, such as large storm systems on the earth's oceans, also tend to arrange themselves in central configurations.
Two central configurations are considered to be equivalent if they are similar, that is, they can be transformed into each other by some combination of rotation, translation, and scaling.
The finiteness of the set of three-point central configurations was shown by Joseph-Louis Lagrange in his solution to the three-body problem; Lagrange showed that there is only one non-collinear central configuration, in which the three points form the vertices of an equilateral triangle.
The number of configurations in this case is at least 32 and at most 8472, depending on the masses of the points.
The only central configuration of four masses that spans three dimensions is the configuration formed by the vertices of a regular tetrahedron.
For arbitrarily many points in one dimension, there are again only finitely many solutions, one for each of the linear orderings (up to reversal of the ordering) of the points on a line.
For every set of point masses, and every dimension less than , there exists at least one central configuration of that dimension.
It is an unsolved problem, posed by and , whether there is always a bounded number of central configurations for five or more masses in two or more dimensions.
As partial progress, for almost all 5-tuples of masses, there are only a bounded number of two-dimensional central configurations of five points.
For example this can be true for equal masses forming a square pyramid, with the four masses at the base of the pyramid also forming a central configuration, or for masses forming a triangular bipyramid, with the three masses in the central triangle of the bipyramid also forming a central configuration.
The intersection points of the lines with a single circle should all be occupied by points of equal mass, but the masses may vary from circle to circle.
For any desired number of lines, number of circles, and profile of the masses on each concentric circle of a spiderweb central configuration, it is possible to find a spiderweb central configuration matching those parameters.
One can similarly obtain central configurations for families of nested Platonic solids, or more generally group-theoretic orbits of any finite subgroup of the orthogonal group.
James Clerk Maxwell suggested that a special case of these configurations with one circle, a massive central body, and much lighter bodies at equally spaced points on the circle could be used to understand the motion of the rings of Saturn.
used stable orbits generated from spiderweb central configurations with known mass distribution to test the accuracy of classical estimation methods for the mass distribution of galaxies.
His results showed that these methods could be quite inaccurate, potentially showing that less dark matter is needed to predict galactic motion than standard theories predict.

This area was the first to be settled in the mid-17th century, and is composed mainly of civic, religious, and residential buildings dating to the 18th and 19th centuries.
The town of Dudley was carved out of land purchased by Joseph Dudley and William Stoughton in 1681 from the Nipmuc Indians.
The Dudley Hill area, where the town center is located, had a longer history as a Nipmuc settlement, and some of its land was granted for the erection of the first church in 1734.
After American independence, the town center grew, with the Black Tavern (c. 1803) serving travelers, and Nichols Academy (founded 1815) located there.
Next to the church stands the Italianate Grange hall, built c. 1840 as a school, and the Black Tavern is across the street.
Most of the residential architecture is either Federal or Greek Revival in style, although there are two examples of later 19th-century Stick style houses.

Joseph Tomlinson III (June 22, 1816 – May 10, 1905) was an English American engineer and architect who built bridges and lighthouses in Canada and the United States.
He was the first person to hold the position of General Superintendent of Lighthouses for the new Dominion of Canada, holding that position beginning in January 1870.
For eight years, he worked building railroad bridges for the Canadian government, and designed one of the most impressive bridges on the Canadian Pacific Railway where it crossed the Fraser River.
He designed a railroad bridge over the Ashtabula River in Ohio, but was fired from the project after he refused to make supervisor-ordered changes to the design with he considered unsafe.
Tomlinson showed a strong interest in mechanical design as a child, but his parents sought to give him a classical education.
Although trained as a mechanic, Tomlinson discovered the practice mechanical construction in the United States was much different than that in the United Kingdom, and he found himself unemployed.
The bridge partially collapsed under its own weight as Tomlinson had predicted, and he was employed to help repair and strengthen it.
In his spare time, he drafted and designed bridges for himself, seeking criticism and advice from Housatonic Railroad bridge engineers he worked under.
He was eventually employed as a bridge construction worker and supervisor for the Housatonic Railroad, the Harlem Railroad in New York, and the Rutland and Whitehall Railroad in Vermont.
Although most railroad bridges at the time were made of wood, Tomlinson foresaw that iron and steel would swiftly supplant wood as the primary construction material.
In 1849, the Saratoga and Washington Railroad resolved to build a tunnel through a hill in the village of Whitehall, New York.
This would give the railroad a connection with Great Lakes passenger steamships, and connect the lake by rail to the Hudson River.
When Tomlinson received the commission to design the dig and completed tunnel, he worked on his plans for 72 hours without a break or sleep.
Tomlinson took a job as a bridge engineer with the government of the British colony (now Canadian province) of New Brunswick in 1854.
The first Tomlinson-designed bridge to collapse was a lenticular truss bridge over the Grand Falls of the Saint John River at the recently founded city of Grand Falls.
The Board of Works assumed complete responsibility for the failure of the bridge, and Tomlinson declined to charge the government for his work.
He designed a suspension bridge as a replacement; that bridge remained standing for decades, and became the best-known of his bridges.
After purchasing a farm on the Cedar River in Putnam Township near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Tomlinson moved there in 1862 and briefly took up farming.
He moved to Cleveland, Ohio, later that year and began designing bridges for the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway (LS&MS).
Among the most important of Tomlinson's commissions was the Central Market, an indoor market space located at Ontario Street and Eagle Avenue.
His efforts on behalf of the LS&MS garnered him widespread notice in the railroad industry, and he signed several contracts to build railroad bridges in Indiana.
From 1848 to 1849, he worked for Schulyer Bros., designing and overseing some of the early construction on the Illinois Central Railroad during this time as well.
Tomlinson got word in 1867 that civil engineer Octave Chanute was attempting to build a railroad bridge (the Hannibal Bridge) across the Missouri River at Kansas City, Missouri.
In 1863, officials of the Cleveland, Painesville and Ashtabula Railroad (CP&A; one of the predecessors of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway), decided to replace the wooden bridge over the Ashtabula River just east of the village of Ashtabula, Ohio with an iron structure.
His construction firm had built the CP&A main line from 1850 to 1852, and Stone had purchased the patent rights to brother-in-law William Howe truss bridge in 1842.
Stone resolved to construct a Howe truss bridge, a commonly used type of railroad bridge, and personally designed the new bridge.
Stone also decided to award the contract for the ironwork to the Cleveland Rolling Mills, an iron and steel company based in Cleveland, Ohio, run by his older brother, Andros Stone.
He had constructed only one all-iron Howe truss bridge before, a high, long railroad bridge over the Ohio and Erie Canal in Cleveland.
He was alarmed when Stone demanded that the bridge be constructed completely of iron, rather than a combination of wood and iron.
When the temporary wooden trestle supporting the new bridge was removed, the bridge buckled where the chords were connected to the deck.
Because the angle blocks were not designed to accommodate the braces, Stone ordered workers to cut away portions of the I-beams to make them fit.
During the repair work, workers inadvertently installed the I-beam braces sideways rather than vertically, weakening the ability of the braces to reinforce the bridge.
Furthermore, in every other joint, the diagonal chords were fitted to the angle blocks using shims rather than tightening the vertical beams and putting the diagonals under compression.
At the ends of the bridge, where Stone used only a single diagonal, only half of the angle block received load.
At 7:30 PM on December 29, 1876, the Ashtabula River bridge collapsed in what came to be known as the Ashtabula River railroad disaster.
The wooden cars burst into flame when their kerosene-fed heating stoves and oil lamps overturned, and rescue personnel made no attempt to extinguish the fire.
The proximate cause of the bridge collapse was the failure of the two angle blocks on the west end of the bridge due to fatigue (caused by bending and shear stress), friction, thrust stress from improperly fitting chords and vertical beams, and low temperatures (which caused the cast iron to become brittle).
There was also extensive evidence that the bridge had been poorly constructed: Vertical beams were not in the correct place, chords were not tied together, the bearings had been improperly laid, and horizontal beams did not meet the angle blocks straight.
Stone categorically denied that there were any design or construction flaws, and blamed the collapse on the derailment of one of the two locomotives pulling the train.
Culminating an almost 17 year effort, the British North America Act confederated the British colonies of Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia into a new self-governing, autonomous dominion, Canada, on July 1, 1867.
Since the Province of Canada had no fisheries or marine departments, the new dominion government absorbed and amalgamated those from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
Peter Mitchell, the former Premier of the Colony of New Brunswick, was named to the inaugrual Senate of Canada and appointed Minister of Marine and Fisheries.
Mitchell was well-acquainted with Tomlinson's work in New Brunswick, and asked him to join the new Department of Marine and Fisheries.
His duties in regards to new lighthouses were to select sites, visit sites prior to construction, prepare plans and specifications, visit sites during construction, and examine and report on the lighthouses once finished.
Tomlinson initially faced the difficult job of integrating the policies and practices of more than a dozen local, provincial, and regional lighthouse boards into a common code.
This project was especially difficult, as almost no plans for existing lighthouses existed to help inform best practices in lighthouse construction.
The number of lighthouses expanded so rapidly in the first five years of Tomlinson's work that in 1876 the Department of Marine and Fisheries established six regional agencies to take over responsibility for their operation and upkeep.
Among the hundreds of lighthouses designed by Tomlinson, the East End Light and West End Light on Sable Island and Greenly Island are examples of his best work.
During his time with the department, he created standardized designs for wooden bridges and trestles for those portions of the Canadian Pacific Railway being built by the federal government.
In 1882, the department sent Tomlinson to Newcastle upon Tyne in England to supervise the manufacture and prefabrication of the metalwork Cisco Bridge.
The long cantilever truss bridge over the Fraser River, this was the first balanced cantilevered truss bridge in the world to be built with a steel deck.
When others were still erecting bridges primarily from experience and rules of thumb, Tomlinson calculated load limits and strain using advanced mathematics.
Influenced by the Chartist movement, Tomlinson became a socialist in adolescence and continued to advocate for socialist political goals throughout his life.

Kazakhstan has one of the fastest growing economies of all Post-Soviet states, and as a result had its classification changed from a lower-middle income state to and upper-middle income state in 2006.
Because of this, Kazakhstan has begun to rely less on international financing as it had in previous decades; however, Kazakhstan still takes out loans from the world bank, primarily relating to the countries environmental issues.
Upon leaving the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan showed impressive growth due to its governments willingness to accept Market liberalization and widespread banking reforms.
Spearheaded by its booming oil industry, Kazakhstan was able to produce 60% of the GDP of Central Asia while it experienced an average of 10% growth rates from 1996 through 2006.
The rapid growth in the economy has meant that World Bank efforts in Kazakhstan have been primarily focused on fixing issues related to the countries dire environmental issues.
Specifically, early World Bank efforts had focused around replenishing the dried Aral Sea which had been reduced to nearly 10% of its original size since Soviet irrigation projects had begun in the area in the 1960's.
It is in the view of the World Bank that efforts to bring water back to the North Aral Sea have largely been successful thanks to the construction of the Kok-Aral Dam which raised the water levels by 4m.
Along with projects to restore the Aral Sea, early on in Kazakhstan's reemergence post-Soviet Union, the World Bank also invested in infrastructure projects.
World Bank investments in infrastructure in Kazakhstan were primarily loans given to supplement ongoing projects such as the construction of an electricity grid and thousands of Kilometers of planned roads.
The IBRD has had 48 projects in Kazakhstan and has committed more than 8 billion USD to infrastructure, developmental, and environmental projects.
The most recent major project that has been funded by the IBRD was a 1 billion dollar loan given for programmatic development policy financing.
The goal of this major project, contradictory to the World Banks primary goal of environmental reform in Kazakhstan, is to help Kazakhstan reorient its economy so that it is less reliant on the Oil Industry.
It has directly invested in 26 projects worth over 1 billion dollars, and has been an adviser on 5 projects totaling nearly 10 million dollars.
Most recent investment from the IFC have been to financial institutions with the goal of providing support for small enterprise in remote parts of Kazakhstan.
Some recent projects have also targeted Agribusiness, in order to increase the countries food production and decrease its reliance on foreign imports.
MIGA has also given two loans to Kazakhstan, although MIGA does not participate much in the growth of Kazakhstan as its focus is primarily on lower-income developing countries.
MIGA's only involvement in Kazakhstan was two loans of 190 million dollars given to the ATF Bank in Kazakhstan in the effort to alleviate stresses from the Global financial crisis.
Both of these loans aimed to allow the ATF Bank to diversify its portfolio to include more small and medium enterprises.
Overall trends for the economy in Kazakhstan indicate that World Bank efforts to help the development of Kazakhstan have been a net positive for the country.
However, evidence suggests that the World Bank has failed to effectively tackle one of its main goals in Kazakhstan, protecting the environment.
Although efforts to revitalize the Aral Sea have largely been successful, Carbon dioxide emission in the country have rapidly increased since the year 2000.

It gives us enjoyment by taking us on its wings and flying with us away from lives which otherwise would be prosaic, dull, commonplace, lives of dull routine and drudgery.
But this also is not the only nor the highest use; God has given us imagination in order that we may have noble ideals set before us, and yet ideals so linked to actual life that they shall become inseparable.
He has given us imagination that we may see what we may hope for, what we may endeavor to achieve that we may be imbued with a nobler inspiration, a higher hope, and a more loving, enduring patience and perseverance.
Romanticism, which uses the imagination only to depict what is for us the unreal and impossible, is not the highest form of fiction.

It is not certain whether Clayton adapted a collection of popular Italian sings to Motteux’s libretto, or whether he composed the arias himself.
In his introduction to the opera Clayton stated that he had written the work for the purpose of introducing Italian opera to London, and had had the libretto translated to this end.
The fourth performance was staged at court as part of Queen Anne’s fortieth birthday festivities with a special prologue written and pronounced by William Congreve.
Its success was indeed largely due to her: she had been trained in Italian-style singing, and Dieupart secured the role for her with Clayton.
One described how the opening verse began in recitative and then switched to a da capo aria which ended in the middle of a line.
Only with the arrival of the first Italian castrato, Valentino Urbani, in London, in 1707, did the popularity of Italian opera really take off.

In differential geometry, the Tait–Kneser theorem states that, if a smooth plane curve has monotonic curvature, then the osculating circles of the curve are disjoint and nested within each other.
This monotonicity cannot happen for a simple closed curve (by the four-vertex theorem, there are at least four vertices where the curvature reaches an extreme point) but for such curves the theorem can be applied to the arcs of the curves between its vertices.
The theorem is named after Peter Tait, who published it in 1896, and Adolf Kneser, who rediscovered it and published it in 1912.
For curves with monotone curvature, the arc length along the evolute between two centers equals the difference in radii of the corresponding circles.
This arc length must be greater than the straight-line distance between the same two centers, so the two circles have centers closer together than the difference of their radii, from which the theorem follows.
Analogous disjointness theorems can be proved for the family of Taylor polynomials of a given smooth function, and for the osculating conics to a given smooth curve.
Masoud Soleimani () is an Iranian who was imprisoned in the United States on October 25, 2018 without being charged until his release from custody in a prisoner swap on December 11 2019 against Xiyue Wang.
Masoud Soleimani travelled to the US were he planned to complete the final stage of his research on treating stroke patients as a visiting scholar at the prestigious Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
He was arrested on landing in Chicago and prosecutors in Atlanta have accused him and two of his former students of conspiring and attempting to export biological materials from the US to Iran without authorization.
But when she tried to board her plane at the Atlanta airport in September 2016, US border agents searched her luggage and confiscated the growth factors.
Jazayeri had no further contact with US law-enforcement officials until February 2018, when she was again stopped by border agents at the Atlanta airport.
They asked her about the vials they had confiscated in 2016, and Jazayeri said that she had agreed to transport the growth factors to Soleimani as a favour, without knowing that this was prohibited.
Eight months later, on 24 October 2018, a federal grand jury indicted all three scientists under seal — or behind closed doors — on two counts of conspiring to export goods to Iran without authorization.
At the time, Soleimani was en route to the United States to take up a temporary research position at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Federal agents arrested him when he arrived in the United States on 25 October, and the government also revoked his visa.
The crime he was charged for would usually result in fine but in this case the imprisonment seemed to be politically motivated.
Mission Estate Winery is New Zealand's oldest surviving winemaking concern, first established in the Hawke's Bay in 1851 by French Catholic Marist missionaries for producing sacramental wine.
Marist missionaries, in order to make sacramental wine, were the first to introduce viticulture to the Hawke's Bay Region, planting the first vineyards in 1851 at the original mission station in Pakowhai.
The mission moved north to Meeanee in 1858, taking its cottage with it using steam-powered traction engines, and subsequently building residence halls, a school, and St Mary's Church (built 1863).
The vines were tended by travelling from Meeanee, however disastrous flooding in 1909 prompted the mission to move its operations to the Taradale location.
The 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake caused extensive damage to the region and the mission estate, including the loss of nine lives when the stone chapel was destroyed.
In 2012, Mission Estate purchased of Marlborough vineyards after the 2008 Financial Crisis forced Cape Campbell Wines, the former owner of the land, into receivership.
In 2017, Mission Estate took over ownership of founding Bridge Pa Triangle winery Ngatarawa Wines when its owners, Alwyn and Brian Corban (whose family established the Corbans winery), reached retirement age.

Bagan or bagang is a fishing instrument (lift net) that uses nets and lights so that it can be used for light fishing, originating from Indonesia.
Bagan is floated out to the sea to catch fishes, squids, and shrimps, and remain in the sea for several days or even months.
Earlier light fishing in the archipelago may have appeared with the emergence of acetylene lamps in the early years of the 20th century.
Then in a relatively short period of time it has been known almost throughout the Indonesian fishing area and in its development has undergone changes in shape.
The nets are generally 9 x 9 m wide, with 0.5 - 1 cm mesh, made of cotton or nylon yarn.
Catching with a bagan is only done at night (light fishing), especially on the dark moon phase by using lights as fishing aids.
On the dark phases of the moon, lights are turned on since sunset and placed at a distance of ± 1 m above the water surface.
When a large number of fish have gathered, the net is lifted and the process is repeated until it gets the desired results.
On either side below the shack is placed a raft and bamboo as the base (foundation) of the shack as well as a floating device.
Compared to a raft bagan, the shape of the boat bagan is simpler and lighter making it easier to move to the desired place.
This boat bagan consists of two boats which are connected at the front and back by two bamboo sticks so that a square is formed as a place to hang the net.
While the other types were towed to the sea, sailing bagan has its own rudder and sail and generally is a boat with platform.
They are usually a larger version of local boats and canoes, for example those from West Sulawesi has a hull similar to Mandarese sandeq.
The others are beautiful with slender boards and beautiful bow and stern like a sapa (sope), while some others doesn't have the sapa's bow.
Majority of sailing bagang is steered using large central rudder placed vertically, only few had side (quarter) rudders, but in practice the sail has more effect than the rudders.

In this role, the brigade can launch surprise raids to capture strategic targets such as bridges, airports and other positions deep behind enemy lines and maintain their position until being relieved by friendly ground forces.
These include conducting the evacuation of non-military personnel from hostile environments, supporting Polish Special Forces operations, and taking part in peace keeping missions with the UN and other organisations.
The command battalion provides command and control for the brigade and also provides a reconnaissance company, a company of sappers, and an anti-aircraft battery.
The airborne battalions consists of: a command company, 3 rifle companies, a mortar company, a logistics company and a medical support team.

Zombie Dog is a domesticated canine infected with the T-Virus through its secondary method, namely the ingestion of infected food or organisms.
), while zombie dogs are viewed and treated as unintended side-effects of t-Virus dispersal and are thus classified as irregular mutants.
In most cases, potential prey should listen for the sound of padding paws as a clue to their presence, with a growling warning that it has become aware of the player and is preparing to attack.
Akin to the canine related T-Virus mutation is a general necrosis in their left eye orbit, leaving their left eye visible bulge out of their otherwise savage but proportional facade, making for a more fearsome appearance.
The reason for the frequency in Dobermans being found infected was due to Chief Brian Irons' suggestion to the K9 unit that the breed be used as the police dog for the Raccoon Police Department.
It was opened on 10 November 1989 as part of the extension of Line 1 from Los Dos Caminos to Palo Verde.

It is one of four traditional breeds of the region, the others being the Can de Palleiro, the Guicho or Quisquelo, and the Podengo Galego.
The Perdigueiro Galego, along with a number of regional pointers such as the Old Spanish Pointer, the Portuguese Pointer, the Pachón Navarro, the Braque Français, descends from early Italian Braccos imported into North-West Iberia and South-West France several centuries ago, all developing into distinct types according with the preferences and requirements of local sportsmen.
The Perdigueiro Galego was most commonly found in the municipalities of A Mezquita, Viana do Bolo, Riós, Laza and A Veiga in the Galician Province of Ourense.
From the 1970s foreign breeds of pointer became available to Spanish hunters and numbers of the Perdigueiro Galego went into decline, this was compounded by a decline in partridge numbers throughout the Galician Massif.
To prevent the extinction of the breed, the best specimens still available were located and recorded, particularly from the provinces of Ourense and Lugo.
The Perdigueiro Galego is a medium sized breed of pointer, it weighs between and stands between , dogs are typically larger than bitches.
The breed has a short dense coat, it can be spotted or mottled bicoloured or tricoloured with any of chestnut, orange, cinnamon and black on white, solid brown, yellow or black examples are also found.

The cemetery's Louisa Howard Chapel is available for rent, and is frequently used for marriage ceremonies, funerals, memorial services, music recitals, and other functions.
The city government's management of the cemetery is aided by the Friends of Lakeview Cemetery, a group formed in the early 1990s to plan improvements to the cemetery buildings and grounds and raise money to carry them out.
Lakeview Cemetery was established in 1867 when the city of Burlington purchased 23 acres of land from H. B. Sawyer for $3,500 (about $65,000 in 2019).
Located at what was then the outskirts of the city and situated near the end of the city's trolley car line, Lakeview included many of the attributes of a park.
Its narrow, meandering roads, benches, and specimen trees helped make it an outdoor destination for city dwellers, who visited for picnics and other activities.
The Louisa Howard Chapel fell into disuse during the 1940s, but in the 1990s a group of interested individuals formed Friends of Lakeview Cemetery, which raised funds to refurbish it.
Other improvements and restorations undertaken by Friends of Lakeview Cemetery include construction of a new gazebo in 2010 to replace an original that had fallen into disrepair.
The new cedar wood gazebo was crafted by hand in the 19th Century Adirondack Architecture style so that it resembled the original.
In 2014, Friends of Lakeview Cemetery completed restoration of the fountains, using the remnants of the originals and a photo from a vintage postcard for reference.
Burials at Lakeview Cemetery include veterans of every major conflict since the American Civil War, including several members of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, a Union Army regiment of African American soldiers and white officers.
Several soldiers who served at nearby Fort Ethan Allen in the late 1800s and early 1900s are buried at Lakeview, including members of the famed 10th Cavalry Regiment (Buffalo Soldiers).

After the German 6th Army had given up its last eastern Dniepr bridgehead at Nikopol and had been beaten in the Nikopol–Krivoi Rog Offensive in Februari 1944, it retreated behind the Inhulets River.
On the night of March 3, the 8th Guards Army launched a surprise attack and reached the opposite bank, west of Shyroke.
Based on this success, the commander of the 3rd Ukrainian Front, Army General Rodion Malinovsky, decided to make a front breakthrough via Novyi Buh with the 8th Guards Army and the 46th Army.
Lieutenant General Issa Pliyev and his Cavalry mechanized group was to proceed via Novyi Buh in the rear of the German front and cut off all enemy units in the area east of Nikolayev.
The 23rd Tank Corps, with 102 tanks and 16 self-propelled guns under command of General Pushkin, of the Soviet 46th Army (Lieutenant General Vasily Glagolev) was to spearhead the attack.
Pliyev's troops invaded Novyi Buh from several directions despite bad weather conditions on the morning of March 8: parts of the 9th Guards Cavalry Division (Major General Tutarinov) from the East, the 4th Guards Mechanized Corps and the 30th Cavalry Division (Major General Golovskoj) from the south and southwest.
Troops of the Soviet 6th Army (Lieutenant-General Ivan Shlemin), the 5th Shock Army (General Vyacheslav Tsvetayev) and the 28th Army (Lieutenant-General Aleksei Grechkin), deployed on the southern wing, simultaneously carried out attacks on the right wing (LXXII and XXXXIV Army Corps) of the 6th Army.
On March 11 and 12, the 49th Guards Rifle Division (Colonel Vasily Margelov) and the 295th Rifle Division (Colonel Alexander Dorofeyev) of the 28th Army, crossed the Dniepr at Kakhovka and set up bridgeheads on the other bank.
The 37th Rifle Corps (Maj. Gen. Sergei F. Gorochov) of the 5th Shock Army, advancing from the east on Snigirevka, was still too far to help in the encirclement.
On March 13, the 6th Army commander Colonel-General Karl-Adolf Hollidt ordered the trapped troops to immediately break out to the west.
During the pursuit of the retreating enemy, the Dolynska Railway Junction was occupied on 12 March, and the Bobrynets Road Junction on 16 March.
During the night of March 18 to 19, 1944, the 394th Rifle Division of the 46th Army had crossed the Southern Bug and was able to form a bridgehead on the western bank.
To the left, the 8th Guards Army reached the western bank of the river south of Nova Odesa and prepared the attack on Odessa.
Only on March 24, the 37th Army was able to free the city of Voznesensk and create another bridgehead on the western bank of the Southern Bug River.
The 16th Panzer Grenadier Division lost two thirds of its strength, the 9th Panzer Division, the 15th, the 294th, the 302st, the 304th and the 335th Infantry Divisions lost 50% of their strength and almost all their heavy material.
The Salonika Incident was a major diplomatic incident that broke out on 6 May 1876 after a mob murdered the consuls of France and Germany in Thessaloniki (then known as Salonika), Jules Moulin and Henry Abbott.
After young woman of Bulgarian-Greek and Christian origin attempted to convert to Islam to marry a Turk against the will of her family, she was detained by the US Consul at Thessaloniki.
In the 1820s, a number of incidents leading to the death of Christians occurred in the Ottoman Empire, notably the Constantinople massacre of 1821, marking the European opinion.
The declining Ottoman Empire was also relying more and more on European investment and loans even for daily expenditure, which the European public opinion resented as it was perceived that the funds were squandered in inefficient projects and in corruption, contributing to the poor image of the Empire.
Stephana, from Bogdanitsa, near Gevgelija, was of Greek and Christian heritage, but had converted to Islam against the will of her family.
Stephana associated with a neighbouring Turkish and Muslim family, which took her in their home and proposed to bring her to Thessaloniki in order to complete administrative paperwork that would officially enact her conversion to Islam.
To do so, Ottoman law required the convert to appear before a local council and testify that they were embracing Islam freely, as a sane adult and without coercion.
The Turks gave Stephana a traditional attire, comprising a full coat and a veil, and brought her to Gevgelija where she would take the train to Thessaloniki.
When the train stopped at Karasuli, Stephana's mother Maria was there and recognised her daughter, whom she tried to convince not to follow through with her conversion to Islam.
As Stephana asked policemen to escort her to the governor's residence, her mother called for help from Christian bystanders; as the day was a Greek holiday, a 150-strong group of Christians happened to be at the station, including George Abbott, and they attacked Stephana's companions.
As rumours ran wild, people grew restless, prompting the Chief of Police, Colonel Salim Bey, to call for the crowd to calm down and disperse.
The authorities attempted bring calm by claiming that Stephana would be freed shortly, but as the hours passed and the Governor remained empty-handed, the crowd turned into an angry mob, with calls for marching on the US Consulate and free Stephana by force.
Around 15:00 on 6 May, the consuls of France and Germany, Abbott and Moulin, learned of the commotion in the city.
They decided to go to the governor, Mehmed Refet Pasha, either to further negotiate about the conversion of Stephana or to assess the situation on the ground.
Abbott and Moulin found themselves surrounded by the mob, and taken to a building adjacent to a mosque, where they found a precarious refuge from the crowd, and the very relative protection of a handful of policemen.
Abbott then wrote a letter to Hajji Lazzaro, urging him to release Stephana immediately, but the mob stopped the messenger and destroyed the letter.
Blunt, learning of the ongoing incident, sent a message of his own to Abbott's brothers, and rushed to the scene of the incident.
There, witnessing the severity of the situation, he write another message to Hajji Lazzaro, also urging him to lead Stephana to the mosque.
After three quarters on an hour, the mob started breaking into the room where the consuls where surrounded, by dislodging the iron bars that protected the windows.
The crowd invaded the building, broke into the room and lynched Abbott and Moulin with these very iron bars, in front of Mehmed Refet Pasha, Salim Bey and a few policemen, who were helpless in protecting the consuls.
The mob thus ceased to threaten the Christian quarters of the city, and allowed the Pasha to extend his protection to Hajji Lazzaro.
Blunt telegraphed the news of the incident and of the murders to the British embassy in Constantinople and, warning that the local authorities did not have the necessary forces to maintain order, requested the protection of the Royal Navy.
The governments of Europe instrumentalised the incident to embarrass the Ottoman Empire, issuing an ultimatum demanding improvements in the security of foreigners, as well as harsh and swift punishment for those responsible.

The novel, written in 1987, assumed the Soviet Union and East Germany would still be in existence, that apartheid in South Africa would end violently, and that India would be teetering on breaking up.
The authors ignored the possibilities that a deficit could be managed by currency devaluations, or that there were US interest groups with sufficient political heft to prevent a slide to protectionism.
Jean-Pierre Massiera (10 July 1941 – 28 December 2019), sometimes referred to by his initials JPM, was a French musician, composer, record producer, sound engineer, and recording studio owner.
His prolific output between the 1960s and 1990s ranged across pop instrumentals, psychedelic rock and disco music, often incorporating elements of musique concrète, field recordings and samples in an eccentrically experimental and unique style.
In 1967, Massiera set up his own recording studio, Studio d’Enregistrement Méditerranéen (SEM) in Nice, with good quality recording equipment, and began recording local musicians including drummer André Ceccarelli and singers Jocy (later known as Jessy Joyce, real name Joyce Pepino) and Basile.
In 1972, with the support of his half-brother Bernard Torelli, he opened a new 16-track studio, Antibes Studio 16, known as the Azurville studio.
The album incorporated African rhythms, samples, spoken excerpts from writers Baudelaire, Lovecraft and Lautréamont, and contributions from Massiera's regular contributors Torelli, Brent, and Jessy Joyce, among others.
Both albums were produced with Torelli as arranger, and both included reworkings of Massiera's earlier material as well as that of others.
The prog rock album featured many of Massiera's regular contributors including Bernard Torelli, Patrick Attali, Tony Bonfils, Jessy Joyce and André Ceccarelli.
Through the 1980s Massiera continued to work as a writer and producer, but at a lower level of intensity than before, sometimes using the pseudonyms Areisam or Sierra.

Dundalk entered the 1966–67 season on the back of a disappointing eighth place finish in the League and a sixth place finish in the Shield the previous season.

Many of these traditions vary by country or region, while others are universal and practiced in a virtually ubiquitous manner across the world.
Traditions associated with the Christmas holiday are diverse in their origins and nature, with some traditions comprising an exclusively Christian religious character with origins from within the religion, while others have been described as more cultural or secular in nature and have originated from outside the realm of Christian influence.
Christmas traditions have also changed and evolved significantly in the centuries since Christmas was first instituted as a holiday, with celebrations often taking on an entirely different quality or atmosphere depending on the time period and geographical region.
Christmas Day (inclusive of its vigil, Christmas Eve), is a Festival in the Lutheran Churches, a holy day of obligation in the Roman Catholic Church, and a Principal Feast of the Anglican Communion.
Other Christian denominations do not rank their feast days but nevertheless place importance on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day, as with other Christian feasts like Easter, Ascension Day, and Pentecost.
As such, for Christians, attending a Christmas Eve or Christmas Day church service plays an important part in the recognition of the Christmas season.
The heart-shaped leaves of ivy were said to symbolize the coming to earth of Jesus, while holly was seen as protection against pagans and witches, its thorns and red berries held to represent the Crown of Thorns worn by Jesus at the crucifixion and the blood he shed.
In certain parts of the world, notably Sicily, living nativity scenes following the tradition of Saint Francis are a popular alternative to static crèches.
In countries where a representation of the Nativity scene is very popular, people are encouraged to compete and create the most original or realistic ones.
Red symbolizes the blood of Jesus, which was shed in his crucifixion, while green symbolizes eternal life, and in particular the evergreen tree, which does not lose its leaves in the winter, and gold is the first color associated with Christmas, as one of the three gifts of the Magi, symbolizing royalty.
The Christmas tree was first used by German Lutherans in the 16th century, with records indicating that a Christmas tree was placed in the Cathedral of Strassburg in 1539, under the leadership of the Protestant Reformer, Martin Bucer.
Professor David Albert Jones of Oxford University writes that in the 19th century, it became popular for people to also use an angel to top the Christmas tree in order to symbolize the angels mentioned in the accounts of the Nativity of Jesus.
From Germany the custom was introduced to Britain, first via Queen Charlotte, wife of George III, and then more successfully by Prince Albert during the reign of Queen Victoria.
Along with a Christmas tree, the interior of a home may be decorated with these plants, along with garlands and evergreen foliage.
Mistletoe features prominently in European myth and folklore (for example the legend of Baldr), it is an evergreen parasitic plant which grows on trees, especially apple and poplar, and turns golden when it is dried.
It is customary to hang a sprig of mistletoe in the house at Christmas, and anyone standing underneath it may be kissed.
The concentric assortment of leaves, usually from an evergreen, make up Christmas wreaths and are designed to prepare Christians for the Advent season.
Candles in each window are meant to demonstrate the fact that Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the ultimate light of the world.
It is common in many parts of the world for town squares and consumer shopping areas to sponsor and display decorations.
For the Christian celebration of Christmas, the viewing of the Nativity play is one of the oldest Christmastime traditions, with the first reenactment of the Nativity of Jesus taking place in A.D. 1223.
In that year, Francis of Assisi assembled a Nativity scene outside of his church in Italy and children sung Christmas carols celebrating the birth of Jesus.
Each year, this grew larger and people travelled from afar to see Francis' depiction of the Nativity of Jesus that came to feature drama and music.
In the 12th century the Parisian monk Adam of St. Victor began to derive music from popular songs, introducing something closer to the traditional Christmas carol.
By the 13th century, in France, Germany, and particularly, Italy, under the influence of Francis of Assisi, a strong tradition of popular Christmas songs in the native language developed.
Traditionally, carols have often been based on medieval chord patterns, and it is this that gives them their uniquely characteristic musical sound.
Singing of carols initially suffered a decline in popularity after the Protestant Reformation in northern Europe, although some Reformers, like Martin Luther, wrote carols and encouraged their use in worship.
In addition to setting many psalms to melodies, which were influential in the Great Awakening in the United States, he wrote texts for at least three Christmas carols.
In the 19th and 20th century, African American spirituals and songs about Christmas, based in their tradition of spirituals, became more widely known.
In addition, there was a revival of interest in early music, from groups singing folk music, such as The Revels, to performers of early medieval and classical music.
A special Christmas family meal is traditionally an important part of the holiday's celebration, and the food that is served varies greatly from country to country.
In the United Kingdom and countries influenced by its traditions, a standard Christmas meal includes turkey, goose or other large bird, gravy, potatoes, vegetables, sometimes bread and cider.
In Poland and other parts of eastern Europe and Scandinavia, fish often is used for the traditional main course, but richer meat such as lamb is increasingly served.
As one of the few fruits traditionally available to northern countries in winter, oranges have been long associated with special Christmas foods.
Eggnog is a sweetened dairy-based beverage traditionally made with milk, cream, sugar, and whipped eggs (which gives it a frothy texture).
The custom of sending them has become popular among a wide cross-section of people with the emergence of the modern trend towards exchanging E-cards.
The content of the design might relate directly to the Christmas narrative, with depictions of the Nativity of Jesus, or Christian symbols such as the Star of Bethlehem, or a white dove, which can represent both the Holy Spirit and Peace on Earth.
Other Christmas cards are more secular and can depict Christmas traditions, mythical figures such as Santa Claus, objects directly associated with Christmas such as candles, holly and baubles, or a variety of images associated with the season, such as Christmastide activities, snow scenes and the wildlife of the northern winter.
There are even humorous cards and genres depicting nostalgic scenes of the past such as crinolined shoppers in idealized 19th-century streetscapes.
The exchanging of gifts is one of the core aspects of the modern Christmas celebration, making it the most profitable time of year for retailers and businesses throughout the world.
On Christmas, people exchange gifts based on the Christian tradition associated with Saint Nicholas, and the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh which were given to the baby Jesus by the Magi.
Among these are Father Christmas, also known as Santa Claus (derived from the Dutch for Saint Nicholas), Père Noël, and the Weihnachtsmann; Saint Nicholas or Sinterklaas; the Christkind; Kris Kringle; Joulupukki; tomte/nisse; Babbo Natale; Saint Basil; and Ded Moroz.
Nicholas was a 4th-century Greek bishop of Myra, a city in the Roman province of Lycia, whose ruins are from modern Demre in southwest Turkey.
Saint Nicholas traditionally appeared in bishop's attire, accompanied by helpers, inquiring about the behaviour of children during the past year before deciding whether they deserved a gift or not.
By the 13th century, Saint Nicholas was well known in the Netherlands, and the practice of gift-giving in his name spread to other parts of central and southern Europe.
Following the American Revolutionary War, some of the inhabitants of New York City sought out symbols of the city's non-English past.
New York had originally been established as the Dutch colonial town of New Amsterdam and the Dutch Sinterklaas tradition was reinvented as Saint Nicholas.
By the 1880s, Nast's Santa had evolved into the modern vision of the figure, perhaps based on the English figure of Father Christmas.
Father Christmas, a jolly, stout, bearded man who typified the spirit of good cheer at Christmas, predates the Santa Claus character.
He is first recorded in early 17th century England, but was associated with holiday merrymaking and drunkenness rather than the bringing of gifts.
In Italy, Babbo Natale acts as Santa Claus, while La Befana is the bringer of gifts and arrives on the eve of the Epiphany.
It has been claimed that the Saint Nicholas Society was not founded until 1835, almost half a century after the end of the American War of Independence.
However, not all scholars agree with Jones's findings, which he reiterated in a book-length study in 1978; Howard G. Hageman, of New Brunswick Theological Seminary, maintains that the tradition of celebrating Sinterklaas in New York was alive and well from the early settlement of the Hudson Valley on.
Current tradition in several Latin American countries (such as Venezuela and Colombia) holds that while Santa makes the toys, he then gives them to the Baby Jesus, who is the one who actually delivers them to the children's homes, a reconciliation between traditional religious beliefs and the iconography of Santa Claus imported from the United States.
In South Tyrol (Italy), Austria, Czech Republic, Southern Germany, Hungary, Liechtenstein, Slovakia, and Switzerland, the Christkind (Ježíšek in Czech, Jézuska in Hungarian and Ježiško in Slovak) brings the presents.
The German St. Nikolaus is not identical with the Weihnachtsmann (who is the German version of Santa Claus / Father Christmas).
St. Nikolaus wears a bishop's dress and still brings small gifts (usually candies, nuts, and fruits) on December 6 and is accompanied by Knecht Ruprecht.
Although many parents around the world routinely teach their children about Santa Claus and other gift bringers, some have come to reject this practice, considering it deceptive.
It is worth noting that across all of Poland, St Nicholas is the gift giver on the Saint Nicholas Day on December 6.
John Winchcombe (by 1519-74), of Bucklebury and Thatcham, Berkshire, was an English Member of Parliament in March 1553 for Reading, April 1554 and 1555 for Ludgershall and for Wootton Bassett in 1571.
Salvioli's diffusing vaccine (acronym VDS from its Italian name ) was an Italian vaccine against tuberculosis used from 1948 until 1976.
The VDS, definitively standardized between 1948 and 1953 by Professor Gaetano Salvioli, originated first in the studies and vaccine products of Professor Edoardo Maragliano (1849–1940) and Professor Giovanni Petragnani (1893–1969), physiologist and rector of the University of Siena.
If Maragliano could boast, in 1903, at the World Congress of Medicine in Madrid that he was the first to develop an anti-tuberculosis serum with killed bacilli, Petragnani further developed his previous experiences and from 1927 to 1935 defined the Italian anti-tuberculosis vaccine under the name AIP (Anatubercolina Integrale Petragnani).
When Petragnani interrupted his studies and applications (because he was appointed in 1935 by Benito Mussolini, as Director General of Public Health), Professor Gaetano Salvioli continued his studies and applications.

The bacterial patinas, or veils of the cultivated bacteria, were broken up and had to be pulverized, first with a spatula and then with mechanical stirrers to obtain a finer dispersion of the bacilli.
The killing of the bacterial suspensions was carried out with the exposure of the duration of few minutes to the heat under pressure at a temperature of 110°, but avoiding boiling.
One took 150 cubic centimeters of milk to which were added 1 gram of peptone, 6 grams of potato starch and a peeled potato washed and in pieces.
We filtered through sterile gauze in a graduated cylinder and we added to the filtrate 3% of glycerine and 4% of a aqueous solution to 2% of malachite.
It was then distributed in large tubes and it was coagulated at 80-85° for 30 minutes by means of a device designed by Petragnani himself, which provided for a thermoregulator and special large inclined tubes so that the soil solidified like a flute beak.
In the second post-war period, the spread of TB in Italy was still very high, but antituberculous vaccination was not mandatory.
The bibliography of the time indicates that from 1948 to 1970 the VDS was applied very widely in different parts of Italy.
It was widely applied in the municipality and province of Bologna, in particular at the pediatric clinic of the University of Bologna, directed by Professor Gaetano Salvioli himself.
In the province of Venice, the Consortium Antitubercolare Provincial vaccinated between 1953 and 1958 about 16 000 people, especially primary school children.
Between 1938 and the first months of 1943 Professor Sandro Taronna (1901–1972), director of the Consortium Antitubercolare of the province of Venice had vaccinated 354 children brefotrophy Pio Ospedale della Pietà of Venice.
Because of the bombing of the lagoon city 132 children were transferred to the sanatorium building of Dolo – Venice ) of which 54 were vaccinated with the Italian vaccine VPS (Petragnani- Salvioli).
ISM was, from 1894 to 1994, a non-profit institution entirely owned by the Municipality of Milan, with a plant in via Darwin in Milan.
This batch caused an anomalous vaccination that involved, with a plague at the point of inoculation, 2797 schoolchildren from the province of Venice and infants of Ferrara and Trieste.
From 1959, until the decision of the Ministry of Health to officially adopt the BCG in Italy (art.1 of the Ministerial Decree of 25 June 1976), the production of VDS returned to the companies of Dr. Marino Golinelli.
On 15 August 2019, as a seventeen years old, she became the youngest female in the world to climb all the Seven Summits, together with her father Arianit Nikçi(Albanian mountaineer).
They reached all the Seven Summits for 17 months, six hardest peaks (Vinson, Aconcagua, Everest, Denali, Elbrus and Carstensz Pyremid) summit-ed for 240 days (eight months).
Since she was 7 she started training karate, and was a very successful competitor, champion of Kosovo in Kata and Kumite, also she has black belt grade, Dan1.
During 2017 Mrika has continued with her mountaineering activities by climbing 2 summits in Bulgaria, specifically the summit of the Seven Lakes in Rila with an altitude (alt) of 2,648 meters, and the summit of Musala 2,925 alt, the highest peak in Balkan.
In 2018 Mrika has continued with mountaineering and achieved additional success by climbing to another 2 summits, specifically Grossglockner - 3,798 alt (Austria), and one of the Seven World Summits, the summit of Kilimanjaro - 5,895 alt (Tanzania - Africa).
She was one of three sister ships (the other sisters were and ) delivered to the company in 1929 for the route between Britain and New Zealand.
At the start of the Second World War the ship was used for transporting children from Britain to Australia before being converted into a troopship.
Following an extensive refit in 1947–48 the ship continued in service until July 1962 when after 87 peactetime return voyages between Britain and New Zealand it was withdrawn.
During the refit in 1947–48 the John Brown built Sulzer type engines were replaced with two Doxford diesel engines with a total power output of raising the ships maximum speed to .
Tichauer was born in Pozsony, Austro-Hungarian Kingdom (now Bratislava, Slovakia), as Helen Spitzer, was kidnapped by the SS, and held in death camps, in Poland, lived in displaced persons camps in Germany, after the war.
Eventually Auschwitz camp authorities discovered Tichauer's skills as a graphics designer, which preserved her from being killed, and even allowed her relatively free-run of the camp, and even occasional excursions, outside the camp.
Tichauer played in the Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz, assembled to meet trains of individuals destined to go straight to the gas chambers.
The orchestra would play calming music so captives who did not know they were about to die would be more tractable.
The pair had been able to engage in monthly liaisons, and had planned to meet, and marry, if they should survive the war.
However, they lost track of one another, for several years, and, when they had news of one another, they were both married.
Camp authorities tried to evacuate the camp, and destroy evidence of their crimes, as the armies of the Soviet Union approached.
In her PhD thesis Anna-Madeleine Halkes Carey described Tichauer as a holocaust survivor whose multiple accounts of the camp system had been thoroughly confirmed.
Erwin Tichauer was an academic, a professor of bio-engineering, at the University of New South Wales, and the University of New York.
History professor Konrad Kwiet, who had survived World War 2 as a child, said Tichauer served as a mother-figure for him, and phoned her once a week, after she left Sydney.
Wisnia's first job, at Auschwitz, was to retrieve the bodies of captives who committed suicide by electrocuting themselves by throwing themselves at the camp's electrified fences.
Guards who learned he was a skilled singer started calling upon him to sing to them, and he was later transferred to work as a bathroom attendant in the sauna operated for the guard force.
Wisnia did not tell his children and grandchildren he had a lover, while in Auschwitz, and Tichauer did not tell her biographers.
Wisnia was able to ask her whether she had used her position of trust to help him survive the death camp, and she confirmed that she had been able to prevent him being shipped to an extermination camp on five separate occasions.
The 1969–70 St. Bonaventure Brown Indians men's basketball team represented St. Bonaventure University during the 1969–70 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.
They were led by ninth year head coach Larry Weise as well as 6′ 11″ center Bob Lanier, named a consensus first-team All-American for the second consecutive season.
Lanier suffered a knee injury in the Regional final against Villanova and did not play in the Final Four, but would be the top pick in the 1970 NBA Draft and go on to a Hall of Fame career.
They formed part of the rear edge of the skull roof, and the lateral edge of each postparietal often contacts the tabular and supratemporal bones.
However, most living amphibians (of the group Lissamphibia) and living reptiles (of the group Sauria) lack postparietal bones, with a few exceptions.
On the other hand, Westoll (1938) proposed an alternative interpretation which identified the bones as postparietals based on comparisons between early tetrapods and their sarcopterygian ancestors.
These include their contact with tabulars and supratemporals, the fact that they are positioned behind the bones which surround the parietal foramen (i.e.
the parietal bones), and how transitional taxa show apparent homology with tetrapod postparietals and the large posterior midline elements of fish.
Many sarcopterygian fish (including living coelocanths) possess a large, robust plate at the back of the skull known as a postparietal shield.
This plate is consists mostly of the large postparietals along its midline, with smaller tabular bones and one or more supratemporal bones along its edge.
As sarcopterygians acquire more derived features and eventually evolve into tetrapods, the postparietals gradually shrink, losing their status as the largest midline elements of the skull and allowing the more anteriorly-situated parietal bones (and the newly acquired frontal bones) to acquire that status.
Closer to the base of amniotes, the postparietal shifts from the dorsal portion of the skull to the occipital (braincase) portion, sloping downwards in the process.
Embryological data indicates that the interparietal bone of mammals forms from the fusion of four bones during early development: a pair of medial neural crest elements edged by lateral mesoderm elements.
The medial neural crest-derived pair are considered homologous to the postparietals of other vertebrates, while the lateral mesoderm bones are considered homologous to the tabular bones.
In almost all mammals, all four bones are fused to each other by the time of birth, and in many cases they additionally fuse to the parietal and supraoccipital in adulthood.
In these situations, the midline bone (often also termed an interparietal) is a fused postparietal while the lateral bones are tabulars.
Independently-derived fusion between paired postparietals and/or the adjacent tabulars is common among synapsids, meaning that many different lineages have one, three, or four bones in the region which makes up the mammalian interparietal.
In rare cases there are two interparietal bones, formed when left and right postparietals each fuse to their corresponding tabular, but not each other.
The postparietals continue to shrink and move further back in the skull in reptiles, no longer forming any contribution to the ceiling of the brain cavity.
However, subsequent review provided evidence against that hypothesis by demonstrating that birds had inherited a consistent relationship between the skull roof and brain cavity; this relationship excluded the postparietals from the brain cavity (at least in reptiles) and supported the traditional interpretation that the parietal of birds was homologous to that of other reptiles.
On 17 April 1999, Mauritanian women's rights activist Aminetou Mint El-Moctar founded The Association of Women Heads of Households, in order to campaign and raise awareness about the human rights restrictions that women from Mauritania may face.
From its outset, the AFCF has been designed to reflect the diversity of Mauritania, including Arab, Berber, Haratin, Pulaar, Soninke and Wolof women.
The AFCF has been at the forefront of a number of campaign in Mauritania to improve the conditions of women in the country.
In 2011, the organisation was working with the government to bring a stop to the exportation of child brides to the Arabian peninsula.
The organisation has campaigned widely against the practice of force-feeding young women before marriage, a traditional practice created in order to reflect the wealth of the husband, but one that in fact restricts the health of women and their engagement in local communities and beyond.
In 2006, the AFCF proposed new legislation to the Mauritanian government to defend women rights, in particular to introduce harsher sentences for rape.
They have campaigned against sexual violence against women, in urban and also in rural contexts and from 2012 encouraged all police stations to have social workers on site to support survivors of sexual violence and to encourage the women to prosecute.
They work to end the abuse of domestic workers, as well as encouraging women to take part in political life, locally and nationally.
As of 2019 the AFCF has 12,000 members, six rescue centres for victims, 168 social workers, four lawyers and a contact person in every city in Mauritania.
A literacy campaign funded by the AFCF has reached over 20,000 girls in rural areas of Nouakchott alone and has helped over 73,000 people gain civil status and therefore access to rights and protection.

The 2019 Tonga measles outbreak began in October 2019 after a squad of Tongan rugby players came back from New Zealand.
When contrasting the scores of deaths in Samoa to the lack of fatalities in Tonga and Fiji, this is put down to the far higher vaccination rates in Tonga and Fiji compared to the 31% in Samoa.
The outbreak has been attributed to a sharp drop in measles vaccination in Samoa from the previous year, following an incident in 2018 when two infants died in Samoa shortly after receiving measles vaccinations, which led the country to suspend its measles vaccination program.
The reason for the two infants' deaths was incorrect preparation of the vaccine by two nurses who mixed vaccine powder with expired anaesthetic.
Tonga closed all schools for several days while American Samoa required all travelers from Tonga and Samoa to present proof of vaccination.
On December 10th, American Samoa declared a measle outbreak and closed public schools and park gatherings and suspended all entry permits for those travelling through Samoa and Tonga to American Samoa.
The only evidence for his existence is the Uruk King List, an Akkadian-language list of Babylonian kings from Ashurbanipal to Seleucus II, which places Nidin-Bel as the immediate predecessor of the final Achaemenid king, Darius III.
He may have chosen his regnal name in honour of a previous Babylonian revolt leader, Nebuchadnezzar III, whose original name had been Nidintu-Bel.
By the chronology presented in the list, Nidin-Bel would have been in control of Babylon in the autumn of 336 BC or the winter of 336–335 BC.
Nidin-Bel's ascension to the Babylonian throne may have been possible through the dynastic crisis and political turmoil which occurred upon the murder of Artaxerxes IV in 336 BC, when revolts also occurred in Armenia (Artašata, who later became king Darius III) and Egypt (Khabash).
Nidin-Bel's sole mention in the Uruk King List makes his existence somewhat uncertain (though he might be mentioned in the later Alexander Chronicle as well).
The similarity of his name to the original name of Nebuchadnezzar III means that some historians have considered it possible that he is identical to the first Nidintu-Bel, erroneously misplaced in the chronology by later scribes.
Choosing a historical name to obtain legitimization was common in Mesopotamia (and even exemplified with Darius III, whose original name had been Artašata).

Noodle latkes, also known as Romanian noodle latkes, pasta latke, or pasta latkes, are a type of latke made with pasta of Romanian Jewish origin, that is traditionally prepared during Hanukkah, although they may be eaten as a side dish during other times of the year.
Noodle latkes originated within the Romanian Jewish community several hundred years ago, and were brought to Israel and the United States where their descendants still prepare this dish.
Noodle latkes consist of egg noodles or fine egg pasta that has been boiled and drained, and combined with ingredients including egg, butter or margarine and a number of other ingredients to form a batter, which is shaped into latkes and fried in oil or schmaltz.
They are traditionally prepared during the Jewish holiday of Chanukah by Romanian Jews, as foods fried in oil are traditionally consumed by Jewish people during Hanukkah to commemorate the miracle of the oil and the victory of the Maccabees over the Greeks in Ancient Israel.
Sweet variants include egg, butter or margarine (if pareve) sugar, cinnamon, and oftentimes raisin, and may be dusted with cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar upon serving.
Savory variants also include chopped onion and seasoning such as salt, pepper and various spices, and may be fried in vegetable oil or schmaltz.

Maurice Mitchell is an American activist and musician, currently serving as the National Director of the Working Families Party, a progressive political party known for cross-endorsing candidates through fusion voting.
In high school, Mitchell was a member of where he was a member of the Long Island Student Coalition for Peace and Justice.
During the Ferguson unrest after the shooting of Michael Brown, Mitchell temporarily relocated to Ferguson, Missouri to work with other activists.
In addition to his work in activism and polical organizing, Mitchell is a member of the hardcore punk band, Cipher, established by Mitchell and several high school classmates in 1996.
It became heavier as he approached his camp, so he dropped it, and saw that in fact it was a ghul.
He went out with her bag and filled it with snakes, then returned to the tent carrying the bag under his arm.
Another story has it that his mother gave him the name because he habitually carried his sword under his arm when travelling with a raiding party.
He lived as a brigand, accompanied by a band of men including Al-Shanfara, Amir ibn al-Akhnas, al-Musayyab ibn Kilab, Murra ibn Khulayf, Sa'd ibn al-Ashras, and 'Amr ibn Barrak.
The band primarily raided the tribes of Bajila, Banu Hudhayl, Azd, and , and evaded pursuit by hiding in the Sarawat Mountains.
The poet was eventually killed during a raid against the Banu Hudhayl, and his body was thrown into a cave called al-Rakhman.
According to the Italian orientalist Francesco Gabrieli, the Qafiyya may not have been written as a single poem, but might instead be a collection of verses compiled by later editors.
McGahn was put under subpoena to testify regarding his knowledge of the Russia investigation and Mueller Report and whether President Donald Trump's actions could constitute obstruction of justice.
In April 2019, the House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed McGahn to testify before Congress about potential obstruction of justice on the part of the Trump administration.
Her ruling is laced with references to and quotes from the Founding Fathers of the United States and the Constitution's Framers.
The case was appealed by the Department of Justice, representing Don McGahn, and on November 26, the Department of Justice asked Jackson to put a temporary stay on her order so they could appeal it.
Excerpts from the ruling include:When DOJ insists that Presidents can lawfully prevent their senior-level aides from responding to compelled congressional process and that neither the federal courts nor Congress has the power to do anything about it, DOJ promotes a conception of separation-of-powers principles that gets these constitutional commands exactly backwards.
In reality, it is a core tenet of this Nation's founding that the powers of a monarch must be split between the branches of the government to prevent tyranny.andStated simply, the primary takeaway from the past 250 years of recorded American history is that Presidents are not kings.
Rather, in this land of liberty, it is indisputable that current and former employees of the White House work for the People of the United States, and that they take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Moreover, as citizens of the United States, current and former senior-level presidential aides have constitutional rights, including the right to free speech, and they retain these rights even after they have transitioned back into private life.
To be sure, there may well be circumstances in which certain aides of the President possess confidential, classified, or privileged information that cannot be divulged in the national interest and that such aides may be bound by statute or executive order to protect.
But, in this Court's view, the withholding of such information from the public square in the national interest and at the behest of the President is a duty that the aide herself possesses.
Furthermore, as previously mentioned, in the context of compelled congressional testimony, such withholding is properly and lawfully executed on a question-by-question basis through the invocation of a privilege, where appropriate.
As such, with the exception of the recognized restrictions on the ability of current and former public officials to disclose certain protected information, such officials (including senior-level presidential aides) still enjoy the full measure of freedom that the Constitution affords.
Indeed, absolute testimonial immunity for senior-level White House aides appears to be a fiction that has been fastidiously maintained over time through the force of sheer repetition in OLC opinions, and through accommodations that have permitted its proponents to avoid having the proposition tested in the crucible of litigation.
And because the contention that a President’s top advisors cannot be subjected to compulsory congressional process simply has no basis in the law, it does not matter whether such immunity would theoretically be available to only a handful of presidential aides due to the sensitivity of their positions, or to the entire Executive branch.
Nor does it make any difference whether the aides in question are privy to national security matters, or work solely on domestic issues.
And, of course, if present frequent occupants of the West Wing or Situation Room must find time to appear for testimony as a matter of law when Congress issues a subpoena, then any such immunity most certainly stops short of covering individuals who only purport to be cloaked with this authority because, at some point in the past, they once were in the President's employ.
This was the state of law when Judge Bates first considered the issue of whether former White House Counsel Harriet Miers had absolute testimonial immunity in 2008, and it remains the state of law today, and it goes without saying that the law applies to former White House Counsel Don McGahn, just as it does to other current and former senior-level White House officials.
Thus, for the myriad reasons laid out above as well as those that are articulated plainly in the prior precedents of the Supreme Court, the D.C.
Circuit, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, this Court holds that individuals who have been subpoenaed for testimony by an authorized committee of Congress must appear for testimony in response to that subpoena—i.e., they cannot ignore or defy congressional compulsory process, by order of the President or otherwise.
Notably, however, in the context of that appearance, such individuals are free to assert any legally applicable privilege in response to the questions asked of them, where appropriate.
The Constitution and federal law set the boundaries of what is acceptable conduct, and for this reason, as explained above, when there is a dispute between the Legislature and the Executive branch over what the law requires about the circumstances under which government officials must act, the Judiciary has the authority, and the responsibility, to decide the issue.
Moreover, as relevant here, when the issue in dispute is whether a government official has the duty to respond to a subpoena that a duly authorized committee of the House of Representatives has issued pursuant to its Article I authority, the official’s defiance unquestionably inflicts a cognizable injury on Congress, and thereby, substantially harms the national interest as well.
These injuries give rise to a right of a congressional committee to seek to vindicate its constitutionally conferred investigative power in the context of a civil action filed in court.
Reacting on Twitter, McGahn attorney William Burck said McGahn will comply unless the order is stayed pending appeal, and on November 26, the Department of Justice asked Jackson to put a temporary stay on her order so they can appeal it.
The day after the President was impeached on December 18, the Department of Justice requested that the judgment be summarily reversed because the point was mooted by the House vote.
Several conservative lawyers such as George Conway and Republican former members of Congress submitted a brief in support of the original ruling.
In their brief, they stated that a Constitutional originalist view of the dispute requires the courts to force McGahn to appear, even more so because of the then-ongoing impeachment proceedings.
They cited examples from the late 1700's and early 1800's of Congress exercising oversight powers and having access to executive branch officials and their documents to support their brief.

The World Bank, in seeking to promote development within less developed countries, describes itself as a fund rather than a Bank, by initiating projects for less developed countries in pursuit to end poverty.
The World Bank initiates and divides such projects for each Developed country through its 5 internal Institutions: that being MIGA, IDA, IFC, ICSID, and IRD.

Last Love (French: Dernier amour) is a 1949 French drama film directed by Jean Stelli and starring Annabella, Georges Marchal and Jean Debucourt.
Dundalk entered the 1962–63 season on the back of a disappointing eighth place finish in the League and a fifth place finish in the Shield the previous season.
It ran as a two group, single match round-robin with the top two in each group then playing off in a semi-final and final.
Casey - a long time Honorary Treasurer of the League, and former committee member at Dundalk, who had died in late 1961.
The Shield followed, a competition Dundalk had yet to win, and they were pipped to the runners-up spot on goal average.
The Dublin City Cup saw them knocked out in the first round, 4–3 on aggregate, while the Leinster Senior Cup saw them knocked out in the semi-final on corner-count after a 2–2 draw with Shelbourne.
With four competitions essentially dealt with by the time the League was up and running, all attention turned to the League schedule.
A run of five wins and a draw saw Dundalk lead the table going into the new year, but a defeat and three draws in their next five games raised doubts about their ability to stay in front.
Their rivals were faltering too, however, and with six games remaining Dundalk led by four points – although their closest rivals, Waterford and Drumcondra, both had two games in hand, as bad weather that winter had seen a number of postponements.
Another slump in form followed, with a second round exit in the FAI Cup to Cork Hibernians and two League defeats in three weeks, leaving them top on goal average only with an extra game played.
But they rallied as their rivals continued to drop points, needing a win away to Bohemians in their final match to seal the title.
They went two goals behind, however, and with supporters believing they had blown the title, they came back to score twice in the last five minutes and secure a point.
They then had to wait a full week for the fixture backlog to clear, with Shelbourne, Cork Celtic and Drumcondra all in the hunt.
Athletes representing El Salvador won one gold medal in total and the country finished in 15th place in the medal table.
Jordan Lenín Rezabala Anzules (born 29 February 2000) is an Ecuadorian footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Club Tijuana.
The first image of the Mandalorian was released on October 4, 2018 while Pedro Pascal's casting as the titular character was announced on December 12, 2018.
When Pascal would become unavailable for filming, the Mandalorian would occasionally be portrayed physically by stunt actors Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder with Wayne working closely with Pascal to develop the character.
To help Pascal prepare for the role, Favreau recommended that he watch Akira Kurosawa's samurai films and Clint Eastwood's Spaghetti Westerns.
Over time, the Mandalorian became a member of the Bounty Hunter's Guild on Nevarro, developing a reputation for being an expensive but formidable bounty hunter.
The Mandalorian tracks the asset to the desert planet Arvala-7 and discovers that the asset is an infant from Yoda's species.
When bounty hunting droid and fellow guild member IG-11 (Taika Waititi) attempts to kill the infant per its bounty orders, the Mandalorian shoots and destroys the droid, taking the Child alive.
After the Mandalorian has the Beskar forged into a full cuirass by the Armorer (Emily Swallow) at a Tribe enclave, the Mandalorian has an uncharacteristic change of heart and turns back to attack the Client's base to rescue the Child, killing many of the Client's stormtrooper bodyguards in the process.
Outnumbered and cornered, the Mandalorian is able to escape when other Mandalorians of the Tribe arrive from the enclave, attacking the bounty hunters and allowing him to reach his ship with the Child and flee Nevarro.
Karga proposes that the Mandalorian use the Child as bait in order to kill the Client and free the town in exchange for Karga calling off the bounty placed on him and the Child.
Anticipating a trap, the Mandalorian recruits several allies including ex-Rebel shock trooper-turned-mercenary Cara Dune (Gina Carano), Ugnaught farmer and mechanic Kuiil (Nick Nolte), and IG-11, who had been rebuilt and reprogrammed by Kuiil, before journeying back to Nevarro to meet Karga.
However, the meeting goes awry when the Client's superior, Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) unexpectedly arrives and has his death trooper-led regiment surround and open fire on the building, killing the Client and trapping Mando, Dune and Karga inside.
The group looks for the Tribe's hideout for help, only to find the covert abandoned by the Mandalorians save for the Armorer, who provides the group with weapons and a jetpack for the Mandalorian.
Although the Child is too weak to be trained as a Mandalorian, the Armorer charges the Mandalorian to reunite the Child with its species; until that or the Child becomes of age they are now a clan of two, with the Mandalorian acting as a father to the Child.
IG-11 sacrifices itself to take out the stormtroopers blocking their escape while Djarin uses his newly acquired jetpack to help take down Gideon in his TIE fighter.
The 2019–20 Biathlon World Cup – Relay Women started on 8 December 2019 in Östersund and will finished on 7 March 2020 in Nové Město.
Every athlete's leg is skied over three laps for a total of , with two shooting rounds: one prone and one standing.
For every round of five targets there are eight bullets available, though the last three can only be single-loaded manually from the spare round holders or from bullets deposited by the athlete into trays or onto the mat at the firing line.
The first-leg participants start all at the same time, and as in cross-country skiing relays, every athlete of a team must touch the team's next-leg participant to perform a valid changeover.
On the first shooting stage of the first leg, the participant must shoot in the lane corresponding to their bib number (bib #10 shoots at lane #10 regardless of their position in the race), then for the remainder of the relay, the athletes shoot at the lane corresponding to the position they arrived (arrive at the range in 5th place, shoot at lane five).

Set in the 19th century, it follows a 14-year-old girl who becomes the third wife to a landowner in rural northern Vietnam.
The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2018, where it won the Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema (NETPAC) Award.
It also won the TVE-Another Look Award at the San Sebastian International Film Festival and the Gold Hugo for New Directors at the Chicago International Film Festival in October 2018.
The film has been nominated for Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Someone to Watch Award at the 35th Independent Spirit Awards.
14-year-old May is married off as the third wife to an older landowner of a rural village where silk is harvested.
She soon finds that, having given birth to a son, the first wife exerts greater influence in the family than the second, who has only had three daughters, and that the only way to gain security and independence is to give birth to a male child.
May conceives a child, and discovers that Xuan, the second wife, is having an affair with the landowner's son, and that the first wife is also pregnant.
Having discovered the affair, the landowner arranges a marriage between his son and a girl, who is even younger than May.
The film ends with one of Xuan's daughters, who had once expressed desire to become a man and have many wives, cutting her hair with a pair of scissors.
The film was financed in part by the Spike Lee Production Fund of the Tisch School of the Arts, which its screenplay had won in 2014.
The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2018, where it won the Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema (NETPAC) Award.
In October 2018, it also screened at the San Sebastian International Film Festival, where it won the TVE-Another Look Award, and at the Chicago International Film Festival in the New Directors Film Competition section, of which it won the Gold Hugo, the top prize.
In Vietnam, the film was released on 17 May 2019, only to be pulled four days later, after drawing criticism for allowing the lead actress Trà My, who was 13 at the time of shooting, to act in sex scenes.
On 20 May, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism ordered the Cinema Department to review the licensing of the film.
On 21 May, producers pulled the film from cinemas, citing concerns over online abuse that had been directed at My and her family.
On 24 May, the filmmakers were fined 50 million đồng for releasing an unapproved version despite censors' request to make three cuts to the film.
This is a part of our history that is very dark and this kind of history is perpetuating itself in Vietnamese society still.
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 90%, based on 39 reviews, and an average rating of 7.11/10.

In April 2019 in Sheremetyevo International Airport, Russian authorities arrested Israeli-American Naama Issachar (), a transit passenger flying from India to Israel, for alleged drug smuggling.
On 11 October 2019 a Russian court sentenced her to seven and a half years in prison on drug possession and smuggling charges.
Issachar's family and Israeli officials said that Russia told them she would be released if Aleksey Burkov (), a Russian national pending extradition from Israel to the United States on suspicion of committing cyber crimes, was released to Russia.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu subsequently personally requested from Russian President Vladimir Putin a pardon for Issachar, which Putin said he would consider.
In December 2019, Israeli Justice Ministry transferred historical in Jerusalem to Russian Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society, which many commenters linked to negotiating Issachar’s release.

The prototype began underwater testing in 2012 and it is meant to eventually explore the interior of water worlds in the Solar System, such as Europa or Enceladus.
On Earth, aquatic life is often found at the ice-water interface, so researchers designed the robotic rover to be buoyant and use its two wheels ( each) to roll along beneath the ice and look for life or their biosignatures.
The sealed air-filled cylindrical body, along with closed-cell foam inside of cone-shaped wheels, provides buoyancy force to enable roving along the underside of the ice.
In can safely power down to save battery, turning on only when it needs to take a measurement, so it could spend months observing the under-ice environment at time intervals.
One preliminary concept for delivering such vehicles through the ice shell is a nuclear-powered tunneling robot called Cryobot, proposed by German engineers.

The local structure is a term in nuclear spectroscopy that refers to the structure of the nearest neighbours around an atom in crystals and molecules.
However, crystals in reality are never perfect and have impurities or defects, which means, that a foreign atom resides on a lattice site or inbetween lattice sites (interstitials).
These small defects and impurities cannot be seen by methods such as X-ray diffraction or neutron diffraction, because these methods average in their nature of measurement over a large number of atoms and thus are insensitive to effects in local structure.
The nucleus therefore becomes very senstive to small changes in its hyperfine structure, that can be measured by methods of nuclear spectroscopy, such as e.g.
With the same methods, the local magnetic fields in a crystal structure can also be probed and provide a magnetic local structure.
This is of great importance for the understanding of defects in magnetic materials, which have wide range of applications such as modern magnetic materials or the giant magnetoresistance effect, that is used in materials in the reader heads of harddrives.
Research of the local structure of materials have become an important tool for the understanding of properties especially in functional materials, such as used in electronics, chips, batteries, semiconductors, or solar cells.
Prithi Chand (1558-1618) was the eldest son of Guru Ram Das – the fourth Guru of Sikhism, and the eldest brother of Guru Arjan – the fifth Guru.
He wanted to inherit the Sikh Guruship from his father, who instead favored and appointed his youngest son the 18-year old Arjan Das as the next Guru.
His followers gained control of the Sikh holy city of Amritsar and neighboring region, while Guru Hargobind – the sixth Guru of Sikhism, had to relocate his Guruship to the Himalayan Shivalik foothills.
Chand and his followers rejected Guru Arjan and Guru Hargobind as the official followers of Guru Nanak – the founder of Sikhism.
His poetic abilities and his distribution of hymns of Guru Nanak and those of his own, likely triggered Guru Arjan to formulate and release the official first edition of the Adi Granth.
In the hagiographies and official Sikh history written by Chand's opposition, Chand is accused of attempting to poison Hargobind when he was a boy.
He and his descendants – Manohar Das (Miharban) and Harji (Hariji) – are also accused of conspiring with the Muslim leaders such as Sulahi Khan to hurt and end the later Sikh Gurus, as well prevent them from entering Amritsar.
His son Manohar Das, popularly known as Miharvan, grew up closely attached to both his father Prithi Chand and his uncle Guru Arjan.
According to the literature of the Miharvan Sikhs, the pothi was given to Prithi Chand by Guru Arjan and this was in part the reason they claimed authenticity of their hymns and movement.
The wars of Guru Gobind Singh against the Muslim commanders and the rise of the militant Khalsa ultimately ended the control of Amritsar by the followers of Prithi Chand.
According to Gurinder Singh Mann, the Sodhis of Guru Harsahai (35 kilometers west of Faridkot) and of Malwa region are the descendants of the Prithi Chand and Miharvan movement.

Usually the structure of IPCs formed will depend on many factors, including the nature of interacting polymers, concentrations of their solutions, nature of solvent, presence of inorganic ions or organic molecules in solutions, etc.
Mixing of dilute polymer solutions usually leads to formation of IPCs as a colloidal dispersion, whereas more concentrated polymer solutions form IPCs in the form of a gel.
Methods to study interpolymer complexes could be classified into (1) approaches to demonstrate the fact of the complex formation and to determine the composition of IPCs in solutions; (2) approaches to study the structure of IPCs formed; (3) methods to characterize IPCs in solid state.

The first usage of muskets is reported in 1450, according to Marlin Barleti, who writes that Scanderbegs forces had, among other guns, roughly 500 muskets.
Some rifles had a fish tail butt (known as Tyta in Albanian) with a stock sheathed in steel, and pierced and engraved with motifs in rococo taste.
Albanian muskets were considered important to Albanian independence and customs through out the centuries and there was a belief that you could not part an Albanian from his rifle.
Albania was the birthplace of western Balkan flintlock rifles inspired by the Italian models with rocks used in workships from Hajmel in the region of Shkodër.
The most famous Albanian gunsmiths in the 18th to 19th century were in Prizren, Pejë, Shkodra and Elbasan, as well as in Debar, Tetovo and Skopje and Ioannina.
Alongside the rifles, there were also the Pejë holster pistol, the most common one in the 19th century and the Albanian blunderbuss.
In 1872, the Ottomans purchased thousands of American made Peabody Martini rifle which were common amongst Albanian highlanders who cherished them as the cartridge cases were easy to refill and cheaper than bolt-action mechanisms.

Dolman played for Bristol City for three years, signing for Luton Town in 1936, helping the club win the 1936–37 Third Division South.
Dolman lost his place in the Luton line-up in November 1938, signing for Chelmsford City briefly in March 1939, before the outbreak of World War II.
The 25th Air Cavalry Brigade was formed on June 15, 1994 as the 25th Air Cavalry Division, inheriting the traditions of the Mazowiecka Cavalry Brigade.
It was not just traditions that were inherited from its predecessors, with the formation's role also intended to be similar to that of the old role of cavalry, which was now replaced by heli-borne troops instead of mounted troops.
This enables the brigade to have a high degree of maneuverability, being able to be transported rapidly to strategic or tactical situations.
Originally the battalion, like all Italian tank units, was part of the infantry, but since 1 June 1999 it is part of the cavalry.
The 62nd Jero was granted a new war flag on 12 November 1976 by decree 846 of the President of the Italian Republic Giovanni Leone.
Equipped with L3/35 tankettes the LXII battalion fought in the early stages of the Western Desert Campaign and was destroyed by the British XIII Corps in the Battle of Bardia on 5 January 1941.
Tank and armored battalions created during the 1975 army reform were all named for officers, soldiers and partisans, who were posthumously awarded Italy's highest military honor the Gold Medal of Military Valour for heroism during World War II.
Hilda came to London to stidy art and the sisters became early members of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), the suffragettes, taking part in activist protest events, leading to prison sentences for Irene.
The sisters both boycotted the 1911 Census, whilst resident at 36 St George's Mansions, Red Lion Square as a protest at being counted by the British government whilst denied the right to vote for it.
Hilda Dallas was seen in a poster parade encouraging women to come to the demonstration at the House of Commons on 30 June 1908 with Dorothy Hartopp Radcliffe, Charlotte Marsh and Dora Spong in the strand earlier in June 1908.
Irene Dallas was studying maths whilst already in prison and the prison governor wrote, on 9 October 1908, to the Home Office, for permission for her to be sent an Algebra & Geometry and a Trigonometry book, as she was preparing for the Cambridge University entrance examinations.
Hilda Dallas was an artist, involved in the Suffragette Atelier, from 1909, which trained and supported artists to create media in favour of women's suffrage.
On 25 January 1909, Irene Dallas went in a taxi with Katherine Douglas Smith and Frances Bartlett to 10 Downing Street, after Lucy Norris and Mary Clarke had been turned away from seeing the Prime Minister, H.H.Asquith.
Dallas and the others crossed a triple strength police cordon, asked to see the Prime Minister and, as with the earlier three women, had tried to 'force their way' in, and all were arrested, and imprisoned at Holloway alongside Constance Lytton who had refused to do that particular 'disagreeable job', and felt remorse later.
Miss Dallas () was the secretary to the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) fife and drum band which performed at a women's suffrage event at the Prince's Ice Rink in May 1909 and in following weeks played outside to 'inspire' hunger-strking suffragettes in Holloway Prison.
Irene Dallas had a role in organising the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) protest procession in June 1910, and had colour co-ordinated the banners coming from different unions which can be seen along with the WSPU fife and drum band in films of the procession.
At the 1911 Census, both sisters were marked as 'evaders', when women refused their legal duty to be counted in the population census as they viewed that they were not 'citizens', since being unable to vote.
Located along Dale, Ethan Allen, and Allendale Streets southwest of downtown Worcester, these buildings were built between 1910 and 1930, and are a stylistically diverse collection, including examples of Classical Revival, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Craftsman architecture.
The historic district is located southwest of downtown Worcester, and includes nine buildings located on Dale, Ethan Allen, and Allendale Streets, residential side streets located between Chandler and Main Streets.
The central portion of the estate, where his Greek Revival mansion had been located and these streets now run, was not developed until after the mansion was torn down, probably in the 1910s.
Isadore Katz, a prominent real estate developer of the period, was responsible for two of the buildings on Dale Street, virtually identical buildings designed by Edwin T. Chapin.
Morris Grossman, a Jewish immigrant, built the third building on the east side of Dale, with Chapin also credited with its design.
The 14th Congress of Deputies is the current meeting of the Congress of Deputies, the lower house of the Spanish Cortes Generales, with the membership determined by the results of the general election held on 10 November 2019.
At the election the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) remained the largest party in the Congress of Deputies but fell short of a majority again.
The new congress met for the first time on 3 December 2019 and after two rounds of voting Meritxell Batet (PSOE) was elected as President of the Congress of Deputies with the support of the Unidos Podemos–En Comú Podem (UP–ECP) and various nationalist and regionalist parties.
Other members of the Bureau of the Congress of Deputies were also elected on 21 May 2019: Alfonso Rodríguez (PSOE), First Vice-President; Ana Pastor (PP), Second Vice-President; Gloria Elizo (UP), Third Vice-President; Ignacio Gil (Vox), Fourth Vice-President; Gerardo Pisarello (ECP), First Secretary; Sofía Hernanz (PSOE), Second Secretary; Javier Sánchez (UP), Third Secretary; and Adolfo Suárez (PP), Fourth Secretary.

The Kerch railway bridge (), also the Kerch Bridge (), was a Soviet Russian railway bridge across the Kerch Strait, a strait connecting the Black Sea with the Sea of Azov.
Materials left from a unbuilt bridge of the occupying German forces were used by the Soviets in the construction of their bridge, Although it was opened for transport in autumn that year, construction was still incomplete, and December 1944 storms halted construction.
By that time only part of the protective starkwaters were completed, and in February 1945 ice severely damaged the bridge, destroying the bridge pillars.
Two routes were considered, northern, from Yenikale to Chushka Spit, and southern, which was to cross Kerch Strait via Tuzla Spit.
The northern variant allowed for usage of existing railway infrastructure and therefore was cheaper, but the railroad in this case would be longer and would have passed in the northern part of the Taman Peninsula, avoiding most economically developed areas of it.
Not until World War II and the German invasion of the Soviet Union was the idea of a fixed link across the Kerch Strait taken up again.
Following outbreak of the German–Soviet hostilities in 1941, construction of a fixed link across the Kerch Strait gained new importance, to ensure stable supply of military units arose of both combatants.
With a daily capacity of 1,000 tons, the ropeway just sufficed to meet the defensive needs of the German 17th Army.
On 7 March 1943 Hitler ordered the construction of a combined road and railway bridge over the Strait of Kerch within six months, to push for the German invasion of the North Caucasus.
Construction began in April 1943, but before it was completed, in September 1943 concentrated Soviet attacks began on the bridgehead, accelerating the German retreat.
Since June 1943, when Soviet intelligence learned that Nazi Germany was constructing a Kerch Strait bridge, information about it was allocated a special section in further intelligence reports.
The Soviets also were interested in using a bridge: in January 1944, even before the liberation of Kerch by the Red Army (which would took place on 11 April, during the Crimean offensive), the State Defense Committee ordered the construction of a railway bridge across the strait, demanding that such bridge shall be ready by 15 July 1944.
By the time of the liberation of Kerch the engineering design was underway and general construction had begun on the eastern adjacent roads and on the causeway on the Caucasus shore.
470 anti-air platforms, 294 anti-air guns, 132 searchlights, 96 fighters and two radars were involved in defence of the construction site from air attacks and their detection.
To hasten opening of the bridge the construction works were divided into two stages, but the government-demanded deadline was impossible to accomplish.
By that time only structures dedicated for the first stage were created, while to ensure protection of the bridge from storms and ice flows there was still much work to do.
Severely worsened weather conditions in December 1944, and more frequent winter storms, prevented completion of construction, and also began to inflict damage on the fixed link itself.
In February 1945 drift ice, propelled by a northeastern wind from the Sea of Azov towards the incomplete bridge, inflicted fatal damage, with only five protective starkwaters ready by that time.
On 18–19 February 1945, ice destroyed 24 pillars and 26 spans (of 110) fell into the strait; by 20 February 1945, 42 pillars and 48 spans were destroyed.
Attempts to weaken the ice by artillery and ground-based ice blasting were ineffective, and aerial bombing of ice was impossible due to a very bad weather.
The main reason of the failure was a lack of effective protection of the bridge, resulting largely from the wrong decision to allocate protective measures to a second stage of construction.
Other construction (and design) errors contributing to a collapse of the bridge included inconsistency between small-span design and ice regime in that area of the strait, construction of the bridge with incomplete engineering inquiry (wich resulted in wavering on the needed ice protection measures), and lack of technical, material and work-force supply of the construction.
Much of this stemmed from hurried approach to the project, which also depended on the use of German leftovers from their incomplete bridge.
Design errors meant that even if the bridge was repaired, a collapse similar to one that happened in February 1945 could recur.
On 31 May 1945, the State Defense Committee deemed repair of the destroyed bridge unfeasible, which meant demolition of its remnants.
The bridge started at Chushka Spit as about -long stone dam, crossed the strait and ended at a low-level shore of the Yenikale Peninsula, between and .
The bridge used piles up to long, the bridge was long and about wide, it had 111 -long ordinary spans, two movable -long spans and two movable -long spans.
During the bridge construction, connected railways were constructed towards it from Sennaya on the Cacuasus shore, and from the on the Crimean shore.
Railway links between Port Kavkaz and Sennaya and Port Krym and Kerch railway stations were also under construction: the first was to be a -long railway, the second one would be -long.
The failure of the 1944-1945 bridge did not mean immediate abandonment of the idea of a fixed link across the Kerch Strait by the Soviet government; indeed, construction of a new, permanent two-purpose (combined road-rail) bridge was decreed in 1949, and preparatory work had already started two years earlier.
From that time, the bridge idea fell into hibernation for decades: while from time to time it was proposed to construct such a link in one form or another, it did not became reality or even went beyond proposals.
By then the Soviet Union itself had dissolved and Crimea became separated from Russia not only geographically (by the Kerch Strait), but also by an international border, between Russia and the independent state of Ukraine.
But in February – March 2014 Russia annexed Crimea and, amidst international non-recognition of the annexation and worsened relations with Ukraine (which at that time was the only state with overland links to Crimea), decided to build road and rail bridges across the Kerch Strait.
Dubbed the Crimean Bridge by the Russian government, the link became operational for road transport in 2018, opened to passenger trains at the end of 2019, and is to commence carrying freight trains in 2020.
The largest contributors to these cities becoming unlivable are the combined effects of climate change (manifested through sea-level rise, intensifying storms, and storm surge), land subsidence, and accelerated urbanization.
Many of the world’s largest and most rapidly growing cities are located along rivers and coasts, exposing these focal points of economic and cultural activity to natural disasters.
A number of theories have been presented, and to date, there is insufficient evidence to support a single root cause which led to the formation of cities.
Agriculture, increased economic productivity, and superior social organization are often cited as key contributing factors that gave rise to these ancient cities, although there likely were other factors at play.
These areas are particularly vulnerable to climate related hazards, but since ancient times, have also been preferred areas for human settlement.
Soil fertility, availability of fresh water from rivers, accessibility due to flat topographical relief, and sea and waterways allowing for trade routes, have long made coastal plains valuable agricultural and economic resources.
Throughout history, these areas have continued to develop, and today, are some of the most densely populated regions in the word.
The growing physical risks to many coastal cities stem from a combination of factors relating to rapid urbanization, climate change, and land subsidence.
In many cases, the fundamental aspects that lead to sinking cities become tightly interwoven, and over time, are increasingly difficult to resolve.
Once cities reach maturity, it can take decades for local governments to develop, fund, and execute major infrastructure projects to alleviate the issues brought on by rapid urbanization.
Currently, the Asian urban population is increasing by 140,000 per day and is expected to nearly double from 1.25 billion in 2006 to 2.4 billion by 2030.
Climate change, a result of global warming, will impact all regions of the earth, however, its impacts are unlikely to be evenly dispersed.
The risks posed by climate change will continue to grow into the next century, even if a dramatic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is achieved, due to the built-in momentum from previous emissions.
The report goes on to emphasize that countries must increase their nationally determined contributions threefold to remain below the 2°C goal and more than fivefold to achieve the 1.5°C goal.
Storm surges and high tides could combine with sea level rise and land subsidence to further increase flooding in many regions.
Asia's coastal megacities are particularly at risk as some cities' flood protections have been sited as inadequate for even 30-year flood events.
Although reports vary widely in predicting the height of sea-level rise in the future, IPCC estimates predict a 1 meter rise over the next century.
As sea-levels continue to rise, coastal cities face challenges of properly modeling and preparing for the increased storm surges brought on by tropical storms.
Studies conducted by the NOAA also suggest a 2°C increase in global temperatures will lead to a greater proportion of tropical storms that reach Category 4 and Category 5 levels.
Additionally, climate change may cause a change in the paths of tropical cyclones, bringing storms to places which have previously not had to contend with major hurricanes.
Direct impacts are often in the form of structural damage to major infrastructure systems, including water management networks, buildings, and highways.
Land subsidence also further adds to the growing risk of coastal flooding, and oftentimes, the net rate of subsidence exceeds that of sea-level rise.
In Bangkok, the Gulf of Thailand is rising 0.25 cm per year, but the city is sinking at a far faster rate, up to 4 cm per year.
Due to the dense populations along river deltas, industrial development, and relaxed or no environmental protections, river waters often became polluted.
When groundwater is extracted from aquifers in the subsurface more rapidly than it is able to recharge, voids are created beneath the earth.
Depending on the geology of the region, subsidence may occur rapidly, as in many coastal plains, or more slowly if large bedrock exists in a region.
Venice is often referenced as an example of a city suffering from subsidence, however, it is a relatively minor case with mostly historical origins.
Many cities do not possess the resources necessary to conduct complex, and often expensive, geological, geotechnical, and hydrogeological studies required to accurately measure and model future land subsidence.
Although the early cultures drew water from the same lakes and aquifers, they were merely 300,000 people as compared to the city's current population of 21 million.
The city is also currently plagued with water shortage issues emphasizing a common positive feedback loop that exists within sinking cities.
As cities continue to grow, fueled by global urbanization, countries will continue to invest additional resources to accommodate the growing populations.
Every day, sinking cities are becoming increasingly vulnerable to natural disasters, many of which, are a critical component of their national economies', and some, of the global economy.
While natural catastrophes cause average economic losses between USD $60-100 billion annually, a single large-scale disaster can easily surpass this, as proven by Hurricanes Sandy and Maria.
Numerous sinking cities throughout the world are becoming ever more exposed to natural disasters, many of which, do not have the financial means to prepare for the impending storms.
In July and August, floods at high tide often near the subway level in Mumbai, clearly indicative of the impending climate dangers.
Ho Chi Minh City currently accounts for 40% of Vietnam's GDP and has become especially vulnerable due to rising sea-levels, land subsidence, and continued urbanization.
Bangkok is also highly exposed to river flooding, as a major storm could have potentially massive impacts to the national economy.
Although many US cities are less exposed and better equipped to handle the impacts of climate change, in some cases, US cities are especially susceptible in terms of economic risk.
In a study conducted by Zillow, the real estate firm found that a combined $882 billion worth of real estate would be underwater if sea-level were to rise by six feet.
New York City alone accounts for approximately 8% of the United States GDP and has experienced costly storms within the past decade.
Asian urbanization will be accompanied by a significant increase in the number of urban poor as migrants continue to move to cities in hopes of economic prosperity.
One report by OECD examined the vulnerability of 130 major port cities to climate change and found that by 2070 approximately half of the total population threatened by coastal flooding would reside in just ten megacities, all but one located in Asia.
Another report analyzed the 616 largest metropolitan areas home to 1.7 billion people and cover approximately USD 34,000 billion of global GDP.
The urban poor will bear a disproportionate burden of climate change risk as they are likely to settle in areas most prone to flooding.
Hurricane Katrina, in New Orleans, disproportionately impacted low income and minority communities as the wealthiest communities are situated above sea-level, and thus, further protected from major storms.
Highly impacted areas, such as Orleans Parish and the 9th Ward, predominately contain minority communities and therefore the impacts are unevenly dispersed.
In the coming decades, as impending storms begin to damage large sinking cities, environmental refugees are likely to become a global phenomena.
Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is home to 10 million people and is one of the fastest sinking cities in the world.
Almost half the city sits below sea-level, and some researchers believe if the subsidence issues continue to go unchecked parts of the city will be entirely submerged by 2050.
Jakarta's environmental issues have become so dire that the Indonesian government has proposed the capital be moved from Jakarta to a yet-to-be-built city in Kalimantan.
The move hopes to ease some of the inequality and growing population issues on Jakarta by relocating a large portion of the population to the new capital.
The controversial move is not unprecedented, but is likely one of the first capital relocations to be driven by environmental forces.
Some of the vulnerabilities of sinking cities are unable to be controlled by engineering projects, like climate change, so it is essential that urban officials are aware of the risks and vulnerabilities posed on their region.
This starts by conducting local and regional assessments that analyze city-level flood risks, and culminates in creating a long term resiliency plan for cities.
Shanghai implemented an active recharge technique, which actively pumps an equal amount of water back into the subsurface as water is extracted.
For many sinking cities, adaptation is a more realistic strategy as many of the feedback loops associated with urbanization are too strong to overcome.
The cost of adaptation to climate change required by developing countries, mostly in Asia, is estimated by the World Bank at USD $75-100 billion per annum.
A major component of adapting to climate change is the installation of flood protections, warning systems/evacuation planning, and land use and spatial planning.
Construction of large sea walls, dikes, and diversion channels, are underway in many cities, but these solutions often only limit damage and must be combined with warning systems and evacuation plans.
Warning systems and evacuation plans are likely the only response in coping with large-scale disasters to avoid significant loss of life.
However, as seen during Hurricane Katrina, evacuation is not easily executed, as residents are often unwilling to abandon their unprotected property.
By allowing buffer space for rivers the flood naturally, sinking cities can reduce the risk of floods that impact the established built environment.
Gas-rich meteorites are meteorites with high levels of primordial gases, such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and sometimes other elements.
The identification of gas-rich meteorites is based on the presence of light noble gases in large amounts, at levels which cannot be explained without involving an additional component over and above the well-known noble gas components that are present in all meteorites.
William Ramsay was the first to report helium in an iron meteorite, in 1895- not long after its first Earth sample, instead of via Solar observation.
The use of decay products to date meteorites was suggested by Bauer in 1947, and explicitly published by Gerling and Pavlova in 1951.
However, this soon resulted in wildly varying ages; it was realized excess helium (including helium-3, rare on Earth) was generated by radiation, too.
The first explicit publication of a gas-rich meteorite was Staroe Pesyanoe (often shortened to Pesyanoe), by Gerling and Levskii in 1956.
The first publication of presolar grains in the 1980s was precipitated by workers searching for noble gases; PSGs were not simply checked via their gas contents.
Material age can be determined by relative exposure to direct solar and cosmic radiation (by cosmic ray tracks), and indirect creation of resultant nuclides.
Meteoritical studies have tracked the progress of mass spectrometry, a continual and rapid progression comparable to or greater than Moore's Law.
The women's 4 × 100 metres relay event at the 1975 Pan American Games was held in Mexico City on 20 October.
The 1969 Alcorn A&M Braves football team was an American football team that represented Alcorn A&M University in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) during 1969 NCAA College Division football season.
In their fourth season under head coach Marino Casem, Alcorn compiled an 8–0–1 record (6–0–1 against conference opponents), won the SWAC championship, and outscored opponents by a total of 274 to 82.
It reflects elements from the nativity story, the Annunciation to the shepherds, their walk to the manger and their Adoration, inviting to follow their example.
The song is in the tradition of shepherd songs, derived from the Annunciation to the shepherds and the Adoration of the Shepherds from the Gospel of Luke (Luke 2:8-20).
The story of two NYPD officers, Gregory Philip Foster and Rocco W. Laurie, who were murdered while on patrol in the East Village, Manhattan, New York City in 1972.

Julie Marie Harris (born 1967) is the Director of Research in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience and a Professor of Vision Science at the University of St Andrews.
She moved to the University of Oxford for her doctoral studies and earned her Doctor of Philosophy degree under the supervision of Andrew J. Parker in 1992.
To do this she added binocular disparity noise to a stereogram and compared judgements of depths made by a human with those made by an ideal detector with the correct disparity.
Harris studies visual systems; and in particular what environmental information a given visual system can process and how it makes use of the information.
As part of this research Harris uses psychophysical, computational and behavioural approaches, which allow her to understand the processes that underlie human vision and how they connect to motor action.
Through her work Harris looks to uncover countershading, a means by which animal species disrupt shape perception, how the brain perceives motion, shape and depth and different eye movements.
In 2019 Harris and co-workers uncovered how the brain processes three-dimensional information; establishing that the brain separated motion signals into two distinct pathways as they move from the eye to the brain.
These signals – of which one arrives quickly and the other slowly – allow for information to be extracted simultaneously from each pathway, and alert the visual system that there is a three-dimensional object.
Alongside her work on animal camouflage and three-dimensional vision, Harris has investigate the relationship between visual sensory and visuo-motor behaviour during the training of elite athletes.
The song was written by A. Matheus, Andy Clay, and Rassel Marcano and produced by Armando Avila and was released by Sony Music Latin as the second single from the album in the United States on January 20, 2015.

UCD, Queen's University and NUI Galway were placed in Group A while University of Limerick, UCC and DCU, were placed in Group B.
The O'Connor Shield play off, the two O'Connor Cup semi-finals and the final all formed part of the O'Connor Cup Weekend which was hosted by DIT GAA and the GAA Centre of Excellence in Abbotstown.
Men's ice hockey tournaments have been staged at the Olympic Games since 1920 (it was introduced at the 1920 Summer Olympics, and was permanently added to the Winter Olympic Games in 1924).
Teemu Selänne has scored the most goals, with 24, and has the most points, 43 while Saku Koivu have has the most assists, with 21.
Selänne and Raimo Helminen have competed in the most Olympics, having taken part in six tournaments, while Helminen has played the most games of any skater, with 39.
Two players, Jari Kurri and Teemu Selänne, have been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, while 17 players have been inducted into the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame, though Kalevi Numminen was inducted as a builder and Unto Wiitala as a referee.
Miguel Ángel Ramírez Medina (born 23 October 1984) is a Spanish football manager, currently in charge of Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valle.
In 2011 he moved to Greece, initially to work at AEK FC's youth setup, but subsequently worked at Panathinaikos FC and Olympiacos due to the economic crisis.
In 2012, after a year back at Las Palmas, Ramírez spent a few months working as a scout for Deportivo Alavés before moving to Qatar, joining the Aspire Academy.
In 2018, after being also in charge of Qatar's under-14 football team and being assistant of compatriot Félix Sánchez Bas in the under-19s, he moved to Ecuador and was appointed manager of CSD Independiente del Valle's under-18 squad.
On 7 May 2019, after compatriot Ismael Rescalvo was appointed in charge of CS Emelec, Ramírez was appointed manager of the first team.
He led the club to the title of the 2019 Copa Sudamericana, the first of his career and the first international accolade of the club's history.
Nair is a co-founder and a former president of Fielding Nair International (FNI), and a founding president of Education Design International (EDI).
Some of those projects won industry design awards for excellence, including the James D. MacConnell Award — the highest award conferred by the Association for Learning Environments, A4LE — for Dr. Phinnize J. Fisher Middle School in Greenville, South Carolina (2015) and for the Reece High School in Tasmania, Australia (2003).
José Antonio Rodríguez Martínez (born 26 May 1931) is a Spanish politician and former President of Cantabria between 1982 and 1984.
Originally the battalion, like all Italian tank units, was part of the infantry, but since 1 June 1999 it is part of the cavalry.
The 60th Locatelli was granted a new war flag on 12 November 1976 by decree 846 of the President of the Italian Republic Giovanni Leone.
Equipped with L3/35 tankettes the LX battalion fought in the early stages of the Western Desert Campaign and was destroyed during the Battle of Sidi Barrani near Buq Buq by the British Western Desert Force.
Tank and armored battalions created during the 1975 army reform were all named for officers, soldiers and partisans, who were posthumously awarded Italy's highest military honor the Gold Medal of Military Valour for heroism during World War II.
Additionally the battalion was equipped with modern Leopard 1A2 tanks and the brigade's infantry battalions were equipped with VCC-1 armored personnel carriers.
In fall 2001 the 133rd Tank Regiment was disbanded and its war flag transferred to the Shrine of the Flags in the Vittoriano in Rome.
El botones Sacarino (bellhop Saccharino) is a Spanish comic character of the series of the same name created by Francisco Ibáñez Talavera in 1963 focusing on the comic adventures of a clumsy bellhop and the disasters he unintentionally caused in the office he worked for.
The character was heavily inspired by Andre Franquin's Gaston Lagaffe, indeed it is somewhat of a merge between him and Spirou (the latter because of the bellhop uniform).
The dynamic of the series also changed, as it was usually the President being harmed by the consequences of Sacarino's actions and ideas, with the Director being mistakenly blamed for them (Sacarino still maintained the sympathy of the readers, because his gaffes were unintentional and because the Director was very despotic with his employees).
After 1980, Ibáñez did no longer drew the series, all strips after this date are from other Bruguera authors, most of them uncredited.
Nāṣīf ibn Ilyās Munʿim al-Maʿlūf (; 20 March 1823 – 14 May 1865), commonly known in the West as Nassif Mallouf, was a Lebanese lexicographer.
He was a member of the Société Asiatique, a professor of Eastern literature at the Collège de la Propagande at Smyrna, and Secretary-Interpreter to the irregular Anglo-Ottoman cavalry.
He has been working on the development of GPR since the 1970s and was one of the lead researchers on the surface electrical properties experiment conducted on the Moon during the Apollo 17 mission.
Annan graduated from University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in engineering science in 1968 and a Master of Science degree in geophysics in 1970.
In 1972, Annan was one of the researchers on the surface electrical properties (SEP) experiment on the Apollo 17 mission to the Moon.
SEP was the subject of Annan’s graduate school research and used radio waves to scan as far as a few kilometres below the surface of the Moon.
When the Waterloo Centre for Groundwater Research was founded at the University of Waterloo in 1987, Annan joined the centre as a part-time researcher and adjunct professor.
Annan has been a member of Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) since 1969 and has received the SEG’s Cecil Green Enterprise Award.
At SEG, he served as chair of the Mining Committee, president of the Near-Surface Geophysics Section (NSGS), which he founded, and as editor of NSGS’s newsletter Near Surface Views.
Annan is also a member of the Canadian Exploration Geophysical Society and lectured about near-surface geophysics in the society’s KEGS Special Lecture program in 2015.
This land was first acquired by the War Department during the First World War; by 1917 it was serving as an Air Acceptance Park with an aerodrome attached.
After the war, in 1922, the Royal Army Service Corps took over the site and buildings to serve as its Mechanical Transport Depot.
1 Vehicle Reserve Depot and it continued to serve as a Central Vehicle Depot (CVD) and Central Ordnance Depot (COD) of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps after the war (the RAOC having taken over responsibility for vehicle storage from the RASC in 1942).
In 1962 part of the site was taken over by military intelligence as a facility specialising in the gathering and analysis of cartographic data.
The closure of CVD Feltham was announced in 1969 and in 1970 COD Feltham was redesignated as an Ordnance Support Unit (OSU).
In the 1970s the tramways were removed and a sizeable area to the south of the site was sold for redevelopment.
In the 21st century the site remained in use as the Defence Geographic Centre (DGC) 'its primary role [being] to provide land maps, aeronautical charts, positional information, geo-referenced imagery and digital data in [various] formats for UK defence planning, operations and training'.
In 2012 DGC had a (largely civilian) staff of 400; its library included a global collection of over 700,000 maps, charts and atlases.
The App is an 2019 Italian drama directed by Elisa Fuksas, written by Elisa Fuksas and Lucio Pellegrini, and starring Vincenzo Crea, Jessica Cressy and Greta Scarano.
This area contains the most northern exposures of the Chinle Formation, which is famous for its Late Triassic fossils of dinosaurs and other reptiles.
Tentative terrestrial reptile biostratigraphy estimates that the Eagle Basin fossils, which were preserved in red siltstone, belong to the Revueltian biozone of the mid to late Norian stage of the Triassic, 215-207 million years ago.
There are replacement pits on the inner edge of the tooth row similar to those of thyreophorans, and smaller and more numerous pits on the outer surface of the maxilla.
The inner surface of the maxilla has a thick medial flange, which droops down to the tooth row as a smooth triangular blade.
These complex traits include a posterolateral flange which likely shielded part of the jugal, a pair of deep dorsomedial grooves (likely articulating with the lacrimal and jugal), and a broad groove behind the medial flange which likely articulated with the palatine.
As in other sulcimentisaurians, the meckelian groove is positioned close to the lower edge of the jaw and the teeth are constricted at the root.
This hole in the jaw was triangular, edged from below by a posteroventral process of the dentary which also overlapped a partial angular.
Isolated teeth are leaf-shaped, with coarse denticles, slightly flattened sides, and crown tips more than halfway towards the rear of the tooth.
In some of the maxilla, the teeth are short and swollen (almost round in cross section) and become smaller towards the rear of the bone.
This pattern involves replacement teeth being formed along the lingual edge of the tooth row, shifting outwards (at which point the original tooth's attachment dissolves and the tooth detaches), fusing to the leftover socket and leaving behind a replacement pit.
The proximal portion is slightly expanded, but the humeral head is not as thick or straight as that of other silesaurids.
Unlike dinosaurs (but in line with other silesaurids), the deltopectoral crest is small and extends less than a third down the length of the shaft.
Like many basal dinosauromorphs, the brevis shelf merges with the edge of the acetabulum and the rear edge of the postacetabular process has a small pointed extension.
This contrasts with other silesaurids, which have a straight lower edge to the acetabulum, and instead may suggest a partially perforated acetabulum akin to that of dinosaurs.
These include a longitudinal groove on its upper surface, a straight (rather than rounded) articular facet on the medial surface, a distinct notch on its underside, and an overall triangular cross section due to the lack of a distinct posteromedial tuber.
Nevertheless, the notably deep and extensive sulcus present between the medial and lateral condyles is in line with that of other silesaurids.
The codings for the taxon were based on both all the Eagle Basin silesaurid material as well as the dinosauromorph tibiae and scapulae which may additionally belong to it.
The strict consensus tree (average result of all most parsimonious trees) was poorly resolved, with practically all silesaurids in a polytomy along with ornithischians and sauropodomorphs.
The adams consensus tree (in which unstable taxa cluster at the base of the smallest group they are always within) has better resolution.
The timing of silesaurid dietary evolution mirrors the acquisition of herbivory in sauropodomorph dinosaurs, which diversified in southern and eastern portions of Pangea in the Norian stage.
The absence of herbivorous dinosaurs in the Chinle Formation may indicate that they had not yet colonized the northwestern region of Pangea that would eventually become North America.
After graduating from high school, he had discussions with his family about his career choice; but after facing oppositions from his mother, in 1973-74, he entered the Ankara State Conservatory Department of Acting.
Alkaş returned to Cyprus in June 1976 and started to work as a contracted artist at the Turkish Cypriot State Theater.
During this period, he went to serve in the military for two and a half years; but from time to time throughout his military service he took part in theater plays.
In 1980 he was cast out of theater when he took part in a play by Fine Arts Association in Nicosia Culture and Art Festival.
Then, on 3 November 1980, with the approval of the Municipal Council of the Nicosia Turkish Municipality, Alkaş, together with Yaşar Ersoy, Işın Cem and Erol Refikoğlu, founded the Nicosia Municipal Theater.
It became freely available to use under the open-source MIT license, and supports more than 50 chart types in both SVG and canvas.
In 1970, all grocery store clubs formed a union, owing to the desire to unify grocery prices across the country for unionized workers.
Later in the decade, the unified group became called Co-Op The Blue Square, with Benny Gaon appointed as its executive director.
The cooperative founded a new business in 1991, called Co-Op Blue Square Consumer Cooperative Society Limited, in which it held an 82% stake.
It also operated the Hamashbir Lazarchan, bought and the Home Center hardware and household goods chain, had plans to sell Dunkin' Donuts in the Co-Op branches, and it owned the franchise rights for operating IKEA in Israel, but was forced to sell them.
In the 2000s Blue Square operated Sbarro and Pelephone stands in its stores and it also founded the Mega chain, geared toward its Buy and Bonus club members.
In 1996 the cooperative's holdings and the for-profit company merged into Blue Square Israel, and had a public offering in New York under that name.
This privatization was initiated by various members of the cooperative, who had been forced to buy its shares decades earlier, but largely weren't invested in its ideology.
By the 1990s they had wanted to sell their shares on the free market, and this was only possible through privatization.
In 2003, Blue Square Israel was purchased by Alon Group, owner of the energy company Dor Alon, for billion, and became Alon Blue Square.
In December 2019, Alon Blue Square acquired the Gindi family's 50% stake in TLV Fashion Mall, a shopping mall in Tel Aviv, for million, making it the sole owner of the property.
She then sailed as a West Indiaman again, but towards the end of the 1820s started sailing to New South Wales.
She appears to have replaced an earlier that Rutherford owned, and that next year appears with a new master, Pizzie, and owner, Boyman & Co., though still in the London–Jamaica trade.
They put their prisoners into her and sent her off as a cartel to Barbados, which she reached on 10 January 1815.

In the episodes, months after the death of Gordon Clark (Scoot McNairy), his friends, collaborators, and family ponder the futures of their personal and professional lives.
Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace) and Cameron Howe (Mackenzie Davis) prepare for the relaunch of Comet's website as a web portal, but an unforeseen competitor threatens his company and their relationship.
The episodes were acclaimed by critics, who praised the closure reached for the main characters, the emotional scenes between Donna and Cameron, and the uplifting yet ambiguous ending.
At the startup company Comet, several months after the death of his business partner Gordon Clark (Scoot McNairy), Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace) prepares for the relaunch of their website as a web portal, for which his girlfriend Cameron Howe (Mackenzie Davis) led the software development.
Diane Gould (Annabeth Gish) stops by Donna's house to tell her she must decide whether or not to succeed Diane as managing partner at their venture capital firm AGGEK.
Donna is reluctant to become the new managing partner at AGGEK; however, both Cameron and Haley convince her to take the job.
After receiving a clean bill of health, John Bosworth (Toby Huss) tells his wife Diane that he wants to travel the world together.
While Joe and Cameron review a beta version of Netscape Navigator that her financier Alexa Vonn (Molly Ephraim) had sent her, they find a hyperlink to Yahoo!, an upstart web portal, is prominently placed on the browser's toolbar.
's rise will mean the end of Comet, while AGGEK is selling Rover's search algorithm off so it can revert to its original purpose, indexing medical records.
As he leaves, he is nearly hit by a car before encountering a former colleague from IBM, Dale Butler (David Wilson Barnes), who tells Joe he is excited to see what he does next.
Saying her goodbyes, Cameron stops by Donna's house, where Donna is preparing to host a gala for women in the tech industry.
The gala scene at Donna's house was filmed at a mid-century modern-style home in northeastern Atlanta that was scouted by Kusama, director of photography Evans Brown, and production designer Ola Maslik.
It was chosen for its minimalist architecture that could be easily decorated to reflect Donna's upscale tastes and the period setting.
The staff also thought it would be easier to shoot the swimming pool on location than to replicate it on a sound stage.
Due to a slope in the lawn, Maslik and set designer Lance Totten built a wooden platform on top of it and covered it with sod, giving the lawn a flat appearance.
and lasted four hours; with only an hour of natural dusk, the crew had to simulate it for three hours of the shoot.
The crew also adjusted the balance of ambient outdoor lighting with interior lighting coming from the house; increasing the interior lighting gave the exterior a darker appearance on camera.
The crew were challenged once the sun set, as it became more difficult to add light to a dark setting than to reduce light in a bright setting.
Since close-ups are easier to color grade in post-production than wide shots, the crew waited to film Bishé's coverage until the end of the shoot.
Bishé began filming her coverage at 9:09p.m., by which point the only people on set were the cameramen, Kusama, Rogers, and the homeowner.
About 20 feet of tracks were laid out on the west side of the lawn to accommodate a 15-foot SuperTechnoCrane, which was suspended over the pool for sweeping shots.
For Cameron's fall into the pool at the end of the scene, the crew did a test run with a body double before filming Davis, who only required one take.
Donna's and Cameron's diner scene featured in the closing moments of the series finale was filmed at the Waffle House Museum.
Donna's idea at the end of the scene is never revealed, but the producers ensured that each camera shot in the diner showed an analog aspect of life for which there would be a future digital innovation.
Some of the shots included a person reading a newspaper, a jukebox, a waitress taking an order, and a cash register.
For the production design, Maslik chose a 1990s color palette of dusky rose and emerald green, the latter being used in the kitchen backsplash, blinds, furniture, and tablecloths.
For the gala, Donna's costume design, makeup, and hair design were conceived as complements to the dusky rose color used in her home decor.
Hair designer Joani Yarbrough collaborated with Bishé to develop Donna's hairstyle and decided to lighten it from a deep red to a light copper.
The original broadcast of the two episodes was watched by 394,000 viewers and received a 0.12 rating in the 18–49 age demographic.
He lauded the decision to build the finale around the idea of two friends wanting to work together again without showing the viewer their idea.
He believed it was possible to prevent premature old age by consuming a diet largely of milk products, brown bread, fruit and vegetables.
The Monument to Boris Yeltsin in Yekaterinburg () is a monument to Boris Yeltsin, the first President of Russia, Soviet party, Russian political and state leader, one of the founders of postsoviet Russia, in Yekaterinburg, the oblast center of his native region where he lived and worked for a long time.
The Monument is a ten meter high stele-obelisk with a full-size Yeltsin bas-relief on a dark-grey pedestal on the stairs to the perron in front of Demidov-Plaza.
It is noted, Yeltsin's image is directed forward with its motion and gaze, while the marble and the form of the monument are well designed to the Ural climate.
The ceremony was also attended by Yeltsin's widow Naina Iosifovna, his relatives and friends, representatives of federal government, Sverdlovsk oblast head Alexander Misharin, and heads of neighboring regions.

It runs the Breightmet Centre an autism treatment centre in Bolton which opened in 2013, and a small hospital, Mayfield Court in Whalley Range which is used for short term placements of mental health patients.
The second inspection appears to have been undertaken as result of complaints by a parent of a 20-year old resident from Gloucestershire who said that both she and her son were absolutely traumatised.
Subsequently Mayfield Court, which was used by NHS trusts when there were no available beds, was also inspected by the Care Quality Commission.
The service’s quality audits had failed to fully identify risks, including a ligature point and the external perimeter fence being easily climbable.
Originally the battalion, like all Italian tank units, was part of the infantry, but since 1 June 1999 it is part of the cavalry.
The 19th Tumiati was granted a new war flag on 12 November 1976 by decree 846 of the President of the Italian Republic Giovanni Leone.
The battalion, equipped with M15/42 tanks and Semoventi 75/34 self-propelled guns, fought German forces, which tried to occupy Piombino on September 10 1943, two days after Italy had switched sides with the Armistice of Cassibile.
Tank and armored battalions created during the 1975 army reform were all named for officers, soldiers and partisans, who were posthumously awarded Italy's highest military honor the Gold Medal of Military Valour for heroism during World War II.
The 19th Tank Battalion's name commemorated 32nd Tank Infantry Regiment Second Lieutenant Francesco Tumiati, who had served in the Western Desert Campaign in 1941-1942 and joined a partisan unit after the German occupation of Italy in 1943.
After 8 months as commander of a partisan detachment Tumiati was caught by German forces and executed on 17 May 1944.

Miriung was born at Poma village in the Kieta district of Bougainville and was educated at the Tunuru Catholic Mission and at Chabai.
He studied for the priesthood at the St Peter Chanel seminary in Ulapia for three years from 1966, but then left the seminary and went to work for mining company CRA Exploration.
Miriung studied law at the University of Papua New Guinea from 1969 to 1973 and was admitted to the bar in 1974.
He briefly ran a private legal practice in Arawa in 1976 and then joined the public service, rising through the ranks as provincial legal officer and then provincial secretary in Bougainville and then Chief Land Titles Commissioner for Papua New Guinea.
In November 1994, Miriung and Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea Julius Chan signed the Mirigini Charter, establishing a Bougainville Transitional Government to replace the North Solomons Provincial Government that had been suspended in 1990.
The Assembly of the transitional government met in April 1995, and on 10 April elected Miriung as Premier of the Bougainville Transitional Government.
He differed with the PNG Government on a resolution to the conflict, condemning their attempts to end the war through a military offensive and extrajudicial killings, while supporting a more expansive concept of autonomy than the national government, eventually coming out in support of an eventual referendum on independence months before his death.
Shortly before his assassination, Papua New Guinean defence minister Mathias Ijape blamed Miriung for a BRA attack on PNG soldiers and called for his resignation as Premier.
A week later, on 12 October, Miriung, aged 55, was assassinated at the age of 55 while having dinner with his family in his wife's village of Kapana.
He was reported to have been killed at close range by at least two assassins, with an autopsy finding six wounds in his back from automatic gunfire and one major wound from a shotgun blast.
A Commission of Inquiry was held under retired Sri Lankan judge Thiruvukkarasu Suntheralingam, which found in December 1996 that the murder was committed by several members of the PNGDF in conjunction with their allies the Siwai Resistance.
Sections of the report were released publicly, but the full report, including the specific identities of Miriung's alleged killers, were never released, and Miriung's family never received a copy.
In November 2019, with the 2019 Bougainville independence referendum drawing international attention to Bougainville, Miriung's family called for the release of the full report and the naming of those responsible.
Sam Akoitai, the member for Central Bougainville in the National Parliament of Papua New Guinea, raised the issue in parliament, and Prime Minister James Marape pledged to further investigate the issue.
In December 2019, Miriung's eldest son Justin stated that the family believes that some figures from the national government were involved in his murder.

On the voyage to Australia, Douglas Jardine, England's captain on the 1932-33 tour, was planning his bodyline tactics, which he knew would be controversial.
Harris was the first journalist to accompany five touring English cricket teams to Australia, beginning with the 1932-33 tour and ending with the 1954-55 tour.
Harris was the secretary of the Cricket Writers' Club soon after its founding in 1947 and later served as the club's chairman.

The Athenian Revolution (508–507 BCE) was a revolt by the people of Athens that overthrew the ruling aristocratic oligarchy, establishing the almost century-long self-governance of Athens in the form of a participatory democracy – open to all free male citizens.
According to legend, Athens was formerly ruled by kings, a situation which may have continued up until the 9th century BCE.
From later accounts, it is believed that these kings stood at the head of a land-owning aristocracy known as the Eupatridae (the 'well-born'), whose instrument of government was a Council which met on the hill of Areopagus and appointed the chief city officials known as archons.
The archon was the chief magistrate in many Greek cities, but in Athens there was a council of archons which exerted a form of executive government.
However, the coup was opposed by the people of Athens, who forced Cylon and his supporters to take refuge in Athena's temple on the Acropolis.
They were persuaded by the archons to leave the temple and stand trial after being assured that their lives would be spared.
In an effort to ensure their safety, the accused tied a rope to the temple's statue and went to the trial.
The Athenian archons, led by Megacles, took this as the goddess's repudiation of her suppliants and proceeded to stone them to death.
In order to restore order, the Areopagus appointed Draco to draft strict new laws, replacing the system of oral law with a written legal code enforced by a court of law.
In 594 BCE, Solon, premier archon at the time, issued reforms that defined citizenship in a way that gave each free resident of Attica a political function: Athenian citizens had the right to participate in assembly meetings.
By granting the formerly aristocratic role to every free citizen of Athens who owned property, Solon reshaped the social framework of the city-state.
Eventually the moderate reforms of Solon, improving the lot of the poor but firmly entrenching the aristocracy in power, gave Athens some stability.
Upon his death, Peisistratos was succeeded to the tyranny by his sons Hippias and Hipparchus, the latter of which was murdered by the tyrannicides Harmodius and Aristogeiton.
Hippias executed the tyrannicides and it was said that he became a bitter and cruel ruler, executing a large number of citizens and imposing harsh taxes on the Athenian populace.
The Alcmaeonidae family of Athens, which Peisistratus had exiled in 546 BCE, was concerned about Hippias forming alliances with the Persian ruling class, and began planning an invasion to depose him.
Hippias was one of several Greek aristocrats who took refuge in the Achaemenid Empire following reversals at home, other famous ones being Themistocles, Demaratos, Gongylos or Alcibiades.
With the tyrant ousted, the Spartan king installed Isagoras at the head of an oligarchy, made up of Athenian aristocrats that were loyal or sympathetic to Sparta.
He found himself opposed by the majority of Athens, particularly the middle and lower classes, who desired a return to democracy.
Cleisthenes, of the pro-democracy Alcmaeonidae clan, was expelled from Athens by the Spartan-backed oligarchs, leaving Isagoras unrivalled in power within the city.
Cleomenes, Isagoras and their supporters were forced by regular citizens to flee to the Acropolis, where they besieged by Athens' populace for two days.
On the third day the Athenians made a truce, allowed Cleomenes and Isagoras to escape, and executed 300 of Isagoras' supporters.
He commissioned a bronze memorial from the sculptor Antenor in honor of the lovers and tyrannicides Harmodius and Aristogeiton, whom Hippias had executed.
It was now the role of the Boule to propose laws to the assembly of voters, who convened in Athens around forty times a year for this purpose.
Cleisthenes also may have introduced ostracism (first used in 487 BCE), whereby a vote by a plurality of citizens would exile a citizen for 10 years.
The initial trend was to vote for a citizen deemed a threat to the democracy (e.g., by having ambitions to set himself up as tyrant).
However, soon after, any citizen judged to have too much power in the city tended to be targeted for exile (e.g., Xanthippus in 485/84 BCE).
Under this system, the exiled man's property was maintained, but he was not physically in the city where he could possibly create a new tyranny.
The Spartans thought that a free and democratic Athens would be dangerous to Spartan power, and attempted to recall Hippias from Persia and re-establish the tyranny.
Democratic Athens sent an embassy to Artaphernes, brother of Darius I, looking for Persian assistance in order to resist the threats from Sparta.
The Athenians ambassadors apparently complied with this request, but then Artaphernes advised the Athenians that they should receive back Hippias, threatening to attack Athens if they did not accept him as their tyrant once more.
Nevertheless, the Athenians preferred to remain democratic despite the danger from the Achaemenid Empire, and the ambassadors were disavowed and censured upon their return to Athens.
It was put down in 494 BCE, but Darius I of Persia was intent on punishing Athens for its role in the revolt.
In 490 Hippias, still in the service of the Persians, encouraged Darius to invade Greece and attack Athens; when Darius initiated the campaign, Hippias himself accompanied the Persian fleet and suggested Marathon as the place where the Persian invasion of Attica should begin.
In 462 BCE, the pro-democracy Ephialtes and his political allies began attacking the Areopagus, a council composed of former archons which was a traditionally conservative force.
Having thus weakened the prestige of the council, Ephialtes proposed and had passed in the popular assembly, a sweeping series of reforms which divided up the powers traditionally wielded by the Areopagus among the democratic council of the Boule, the ekklesia itself, and the popular courts.
At the same time or soon afterwards, the membership of the Areopagus was extended to the lower level of the propertied citizenship.
The success of Ephialtes' reforms was rapidly followed by the ostracism of Cimon, which left Ephialtes and his faction firmly in control of the state, although the fully fledged Athenian democracy of later years was not yet fully established; Ephialtes' reforms appear to have been only the first step in the democratic party's programme.
Ephialtes, however, would not live to see the further development of this new form of government; In 461 BCE, he was assassinated, succeeded to the democratic leadership by Pericles.
In the wake of Athens' disastrous defeat in the Sicilian expedition in 413 BCE, a group of aristocrats took steps to limit the radical democracy they thought was leading the city to ruin.
Their efforts, initially conducted through constitutional channels, culminated in the establishment of an oligarchy, the Council of 400, in the Athenian coup of 411 BCE.
Democratic regimes governed until Athens surrendered to Sparta in 404 BCE, when the government was placed in the hands of the so-called Thirty Tyrants, who were pro-Spartan oligarchs.
After a year pro-democracy elements regained control, and democratic forms persisted until the Macedonian army of Phillip II conquered Athens in 338 BCE.

Merle Newport Boyer (9 May 1920 – 29 Aug 2009) was an American modernist studio art jeweler and sculptor, as well as inventor, machinist, teacher and mentor.
Merle N. Boyer was born in Portland, Oregon and studied at Bradley Polytechnic Institute in Peoria, Illinois taking courses in horology, engraving and jewelry design before moving to territorial Honolulu in 1940.
There he began working for C. G. Benny as an engraver and jeweler, and quickly established himself in Honolulu’s burgeoning art scene.
Studying at the Honolulu Academy of Arts School, he presented his work in Academy sponsored shows, exhibitions and demonstrations throughout the war years.
He was an active member of Hawai`i’s craft and art community, teaching popular courses in jewelry at the Honolulu Academy of Arts School and supporting fellow craftspeople through his role in the Hawaii Craft Association, where he served as president and vice-president.
Here he continued to produce one of a kind, hand wrought pieces, while developing original designs for the growing tourist market in Hawai`i.
He created a series of charms replicating classic Hawaiian artifacts from the Bishop Museum and used his engraving skills to produce a line of Hawaiian heirloom jewelry.
He created affordable lines for both men and women working primarily in silver accented with black coral, baroque pearls, and local woods.
As a small business owner he developed a collaborative business model, selling in a variety of Honolulu venues, and supporting the work of apprentices and those he mentored.
Although he ostensibly retired in 1984, Boyer continued to create works for friends, family and a long list of loyal clients until 2008.
Among his most appreciated works was a classic design of the Hawaiian heirloom bracelet, created in gold and enamel and patterned after the bracelets Queen Kapi`olani brought back from her travels of England, as gifts for her ladies in waiting.
Enchanted by the craftsmanship and design of Japanese netsuke, he carved dozens of small pieces in ivory and wood, many of which functioned as wearable art.
An equal number of larger scale works in stone reflected his interest in abstract shapes and complex curves, as well as a life long interest with animal forms.
As both an artist and a designer-craftsman, Boyer is solidly situated within the themes and approaches of the modernist studio jewelry movement.
Although he worked primarily in silver with baroque pearl, ebony, native Hawaiian woods and coral, his early creations display a wide range of techniques, metals and materials.
Displaying artistry and experimentation he would create pieces out of found materials (polished rock, ceramic pieces, and shells) as well as at-hand materials.
Producing affordable jewelry as wearable art, as well as that of viewing jewelry making as a fine art in its own right, can be seen in his lines of jewelry for both men and women.
From his studio on Fort Street Mall in 1952 Boyer produced his designs and craftsmanship that secured his inclusion among modernist studio jewelers.
Here he developed a wide and loyal clientele and continued to develop unique one of a kind and free form pieces, while developing lines of affordable jewelry for a fast growing tourist market.
He continued to explore the use of everyday and found materials, incorporating bits of stone, shell and ceramics to create pendants and rings, combining silver with native woods of koa and milo.
His black coral pieces as well as charms and pieces using native woods and sliver reflected places and cultural motifs from Hawai`i and became popular souvenirs sold from his store and in shops throughout Honolulu.

The Ophel ostracon or KAI 190, is an ostracon discovered in Jerusalem in 1924 by R. A. Stewart Macalister and John Garrow Duncan, in the area of Wadi Hilweh (known as the City of David).
The inscription is thought to have originally been eight lines, of which five are decipherable (the first four and the last).
9, and seems to have formed part of the dump which the Parker party deposited in that cave; its exact original provenance is therefore uncertain, though it must have come from somewhere in the neighboring tunnel, and probably not far off.
Sam Pittman (born November 28, 1961) is an American football coach who is the head football coach at the University of Arkansas.
Prior to being hired at Arkansas, he was the associate head coach and offensive line coach at the University of Georgia.
Prior to his hiring at Arkansas, Pittman had spent almost his entire career – going back to the mid-1990s – as an offensive line coach at various college football programs.
He played defensive end at Pittsburg State from 1980 to 1983 and in his senior year was named a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) All-American.
Following his graduation from Pittsburg State, Pittman spent two years there as a student assistant coach before becoming offensive coordinator at Beggs High School in Beggs, Oklahoma, for the 1986 season.
Following that stint Pittman served as head coach for Princeton Junior-Senior High School in Princeton, Missouri, from 1987 to 1988, and Trenton High School in Trenton, Missouri, from 1989 to 1990.
Sadler was fired after the 1995 season, and Pittman moved over to the University of Cincinnati, joining Rick Minter's staff as tight ends coach.
Pittman left Cincinnati after the 1996 season to become the offensive line coach at the University of Oklahoma under second-year coach John Blake.
Oklahoma fired Blake after the 1998 season and Pittman moved over to Western Michigan University to join Gary Darnell's staff, again as offensive line coach.
At the end of 1999 Pittman and offensive coordinator Bill Cubit departed Western Michigan to take up the same positions at the University of Missouri under Larry Smith.
Missouri fired Smith at the end of the 2000 season; Pittman moved over to the University of Kansas under Terry Allen.
Allen had reshuffled his coaching staff following a disappointing 4–7 season in 2000; in 2001 team went 3–8 and Allen was fired.
Pittman returned to the coaching ranks in 2003 as the offensive line coach at Northern Illinois, the same job he had held in 1994–1995.
Pittman departed Northern Illinois after the 2006 season to join new University of North Carolina head coach Butch Davis' staff as offensive line coach.
Pittman was considered a potential head coach at Northern Illinois after Jerry Kill, Novak's successor, departed for the University of Minnesota after the 2010 season.
Davis was dismissed before the 2011 because of an academic scandal; Pittman was considered for the interim head coach job which eventually went to Everett Withers.
After the conclusion of the 2011 season Pittman took the offensive line coach job at the University of Tennessee under Derek Dooley.
Tennessee fired Dooley at the end of season, and Pittman joined new University of Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema's staff as assistant head coach/offensive line coach, where he spent the 2013 through 2015 seasons.
Pittman departed Arkansas after the 2015 season to become offensive line coach at the University of Georgia under new head coach Kirby Smart and offensive coordinator Jim Chaney, whom Pittman had previously worked with at both Tennessee and Arkansas.
When Pittman informed Bielema that he planned to take the Georgia job, Bielema brought several Arkansas offensive linemen to Pittman's house in an attempt to convince him to remain at Arkansas.
Bielema claimed that Pittman had refused to meet personally with his players to inform them he would be leaving, a claim that Pittman denied.
Pittman was promoted to associate head coach in 2019, with a salary of $900,000 per year making him the highest-paid offensive line coach in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision.
On December 8, 2019, Pittman was announced as the new head coach at Arkansas, replacing Chad Morris, who was fired midway through his second season.
Several of Pittman's former players lobbied for him to get the job, including writing an open letter to Arkansas administrators shortly after Morris's firing.

The Hoffmantown Baptist Church kept growing, and began a television ministry in 1972 which continues, in 2019, to broadcast throughout New Mexico.
During the early 1980s, membership grew to 2,200, and a capital campaign raised funds to build a new, larger church at Ventura and Harper Streets.
The larger campus including the church also has four one- and-two-story plain brick buildings, which are the earlier buildings of the Hoffman Baptist Church built between 1953 and 1968.
The song is composed in the key of C major and follows the chord progression of C–Em–F–Am–Dm–G7–Em–Am–G–C–F–Dm–G7 in the verses, while in the chorus changes to C–Em–Dm–G7–F–G–F–Dm–G7.
In the first verse Torres's voice is heard accompanied by background stringed instruments; then comes the drums and the voices of Barrio Boyzz, which remain throughout the rest of the verse until the chorus.
In the second verse Torres's voice returns, keeping only his voice until the choir, then entering Barrio Boyzz repeating the chorus until the end of the song.
The clip begins showing settlers of an old town and children playing, then Torres is shown singing the beginning of the song.
Then, Barrio Boyzz appear performing the song, while exchanging images of old people, children playing, violists, a room with candles and people holding crosses.

Sr. Francesco Ferramosca (b. August 23, 1893) was a professional violinist from Viggiano, Basilicata, Italy, who, in early Johannesburg, South Africa, rose to fame in the 1910's as one of the most talented violinists in the country.
As an acclaimed soloist and orchestral leader he performed in various locations in Southern Africa between 1907-1932 to audiences in large halls, tearooms and bars, social events and Eisteddfods.
Francesco was the fifth child of Giuseppe Ferramosca (b. November 11, 1850) and Agnese Mariarosa Miraglia (b. January 19, 1858, m. June 8, 1879).
It was then that his father decided to bring him to South Africa, known for its dry climate and TB facilities.
The family had contacts with a number of Italian musicians in Johannesburg, so Giuseppe brought Francesco and his brother Nicola to Johannesburg around 1907 to seek treatment for him.
Francesco was reduced to playing in the streets for a few pennies, but that proved to be the start to his career.
Around 1911, a renowned overseas music trio consisting of the three Cherniavsky brothers, Alex (violin), Leo (cello) and David (piano), were touring South Africa.
They saw Francesco performing on Eloff Street, and were so impressed at his tone and virtuosity, they spent months giving him more training and polishing up his technique.
The trio became very popular, and played in venues throughout The Reef, Pretoria, and in neighboring Lourenço Marques (now Maputo), Mozambique, as well as socialite weddings.
During one of his concerts, he met Doris Gwendoline Helliwell, an accomplished concert pianist, who thereafter accompanied him on various occasions.
The trio played regularly at Johannesburg's Balcony Tea Room (later to become The Corner Lounge) on the first floor of the Cuthberts building.
In 1925 he and his orchestra were offered a regular position at the Waldorf Cafe, Cape Town and decided to relocate with his family to Mouille Point.
After three years, he returned to Johannesburg in early 1928, where he performed with the Johannesburg Symphony Orchestra and played evenings at the O.K.
The orchestra was the first to broadcast from a tea room, having a regular half-hour slot on the local SABC radio station.
After returning to Johannesburg, his health deteriorated significantly and after some months he was admitted into isolation at the Nelspoort Sanitarium in the Karoo desert, renowned for its treatment of TB.
He returned to Johannesburg, but soon after succumbed to a throat affliction, and passed away in May 1932 at the Hillbrow General Hospital.
George Blackburn Kinkead (September 25, 1811 – November 11, 1877), was an American lawyer, who served as Secretary of State of Kentucky (1846–47).

The rivière Noire du Milieu (Black River of the Middle) is a tributary of the south shore of the Noire River, flowing entirely into the unorganized territory of Mont-Élie, Quebec, in the Charlevoix-Est Regional County Municipality, in Quebec, Canada.
The lower part of this valley is served by route 170 which links Saint-Siméon to Petit-Saguenay, which passes on the north shore of the Noire River.
The surface of the Black River Middle is usually frozen from early December to late March, however, safe ice movement is generally from mid-December to mid-March.
He is the President of the Federal Agency for Civil Education (since 2000) and the President of the German Children's Fund (since 1995).
The 1820 United States presidential election in Ohio took place between November 1 and December 4, 1816, as part of the 1816 United States presidential election.
He has previously served at Ministry of External Affairs, India and Prime Minister’s Office as Joint Secretary and at senior position at Embassy of India in Washington D.C. from May 2010 to July 2013 and at different positions in many of India’s missions abroad and in India.
The original two-story antebellum mansion is believed to have been designed by Major Thomas Lewinski, a British-born architect, engineer and teacher of foreign languages.
He was born in London and educated at King Alfred's School, Hampstead, before being evacuated to Canada and Australia because of the Second World War.
It was here, with Kenneth Alexander and John Hughes, that he founded day-release educational courses for miners from Derbyshire and Yorkshire.
In 1965 he was appointed senior lecturer at Bernard Crick's Department of Political Theory and Institutions at Sheffield before he became reader in 1969.
In 1971 he succeeded E. P. Thompson as Professor and Director of Warwick University's Centre for the Study of Social History.
Here he oversaw the founding of the modern records centre for storing the papers of the Trades Union Congress and the Confederation of British Industry, as well as those of other unions and businesses.
Harrison also created a research programme in which he adapted methods used in the natural sciences, which he had learnt from his wife.
Christian Daniel Mojica Blanco, known as Cauty, is a Puerto Rican reggaeton singer, songwriter, and producer born in Caguas, Puerto Rico, and raised San Lorenzo.
After declining slightly in his sophomore year he exploded for 76 points as a junior, leading all defensemen in scoring and becoming the first AHCA First Team All-American for Western Michigan (with Dan Dorion).
Gagné was instrumental in helping WMU win their first CCHA Tournament, being named to the All-Tournament Team, as well as their first NCAA Tournament appearance.
Gagné performed even better in his senior season, finishing the year with the NCAA record for assists (76) for any position and points (89) for a defenseman in a season.
Additionally, he also finished with the most career assists for a defenseman (199) and second most points (241) behind only Ron Wilson (Records current as of 2019).
He played at the top level of minor league hockey in North America for two seasons, putting up good numbers, but his small stature was an impediment for NHL teams who mostly employed large players as defensemen.
Gagné spent the final three seasons of his career playing for five different teams in five different countries, ending as the leading scorer for Hellerup IK in 1994.
Gagné was inducted into the Western Michigan Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001 and was named to the CCHA All-Time First Team in 2013.

Robert Abela (born 7 December 1977) is a Maltese lawyer and politician, currently serving as the 14th prime minister of Malta.
A Member of Parliament since 2017, he replaced Joseph Muscat as Leader of the Labour Party following the party's internal leadership election held on 11 January 2020, and was instated as prime minister on 13 January.
Born in Sliema in the Northern Harbour District to George Abela (President of Malta, 2009–2014) and his wife Margaret (née Cauchi), Robert Abela grew up with his sister Marija in Għaxaq and Marsaskala in the south of Malta.
Robert attended the Sisters’ School in Santa Luċija and St Francis primary school in Bormla, to then continue secondary school and sixth form at St Aloysius' College.
In 2018, Robert Abela said that no conflict of interest arose from his acting as legal representative of Air Malta while his father, former President George Abela, was the mediator and chief negotiator in talks with its pilots.
In 2008, he married Lydia Abela (neé Zerafa), who later took the role of secretary of the Labour Party executive committee.
Robert Abela became involved in politics while his father George Abela was deputy party leader, supporting the party in the 1996 general election.
He claimed that he started off transporting sick people to the polling stations in 1996, and worked behind the scenes for many years in other roles, such as representing the party on current affairs programmes as requested by Joseph Muscat and lately as his legal advisor in Cabinet.
On 25 January 2017, Abela highlighted that a patch of land in his native Qormi was seriously undervalued during the previous Partit Nazzjonalista administration, where contractors paid €0.9 million instead of the full value of €8 million.
Abela was described as appealing to voters with no political ties, as well as the perfect replacement to attract Marie Louise Coleiro Preca's votes in the sixth district of Siggiewi, Luqa and Qormi.
In June 2017, at the age of 40, he was elected to the Parliament of Malta after his first attempt at contesting the sixth district, including Siggiewi, Luqa and Qormi, was successful.
He also served as legal adviser to the Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, which enabled him to attend the meetings of the Council of Ministers.
Abela's leadership campaign was focused on party members and aimed at striking a chord with the traditional Labour themes (social housing, free medicines for the elderly and better employment conditions for blue-collar workers) while distancing himself from the coziness of Muscat with big business.
He also called for a crack-down on cheap labour migrant workers, who he accused of repressing local salaries, by proposing that employers be allowed to hire foreigners only if able to pay them fully on the books and while respecting work condition regulations.
Abela, a backbencher with no ministerial experience, presented himself as a candidate of continuity, pledging to maintain the same cabinet as Muscat's, as well as the same staff at the powerful Office of the Prime Minister, in opposition to Chris Fearne, whose campaign for a clean slate at Castille created apprehension among insiders.
In fact, on 28 November 2019, he claimed that the Labour Party would need deep rooted changes rather than superficial ones.
Abela also stated that his family law firm - headed by his wife - should retain the right to bid for public tenders, should he take up office.
Trieu wants Veidt's financial help to build a quantum centrifuge to take the powers of Doctor Manhattan so she can enact a more permanent solution.
Trieu reveals she knows Manhattan is on Europa and has launched a probe to arrive there in 2013 to visually confirm this.
Trieu is shown to have recovered the craft after it crashed at the Clarks' farm, and kept Veidt as a statue in her gardens since then.
A sphere-like object detaches from the clock and floats towards the Greenwood district of Tulsa, while Trieu and her men set up equipment underneath it.
At the Kavalry headquarters, several high-ranking politicians arrive, revealed as members of Cyclops, including the elder Joe Keene Sr. Laurie discovers that Wade has disguised himself as one of the Kavalry, having survived the attack at his house.
Joe explains to the gathered audience about Cyclops' original long-term plan was to revolt against President Redford by arranging racially-charged events like the White Night, but after discovering Manhattan's presence on Earth they changed their plans to take Manhattan's powers instead.
He enters a booth, but just as the system is activated, the entire area is teleported to Greenwood by Trieu; she needed the Kavalry to capture Manhattan without him detecting her own involvement.
Due to the Kavalry's lack of knowledge regarding safety measures, Keene is liquefied during the process and his remains spill across the area and into Manhattan's cage once Trieu opens the booth.
Trieu proceeds to kill the Cyclops members on behalf of Will, and during this, Manhattan uses Keene's liquid remains to teleport Veidt, Laurie, and Wade to Karnak.
Manhattan tells Angela he did not send her away as he did not want to be alone when he dies, as Trieu activates the floating sphere to take Manhattan's powers.
At Karnak, Veidt uses the squid rain device to send frozen squid to fall in Greenwood, which will obliterate anything in the nearby area.
Laurie calls Angela in time to allow her and Bian to take cover, while the squid rain destroys the sphere and kills Trieu before the transfer can be completed.
Will reveals Manhattan had made a deal with himself and Trieu, knowing this end had to happen so that his powers would not be taken by those that would misuse them.
Veidt attempts to talk his way out of it, but Wade knocks him out, and he and Laurie drag him aboard the ship.
As she cleans up a mess of eggs from an argument between her and Manhattan earlier in the night, she recalls that Manhattan told her once that he could transfer his powers to someone else through an organic medium.
Finding an unbroken egg, Angela goes to her pool, eats the egg, and prepares to walk on water across the pool, the screen cutting to black as her foot touches the water.
Damon Lindelof said that from the start of writing, the plan for the season was to the finale be around Lady Trieu attempting to take Doctor Manhattan's powers for herself.
A second element of the finale was to have involved a mind-control device used by Joe Keene to control both the Seventh Kavalry and the Tulsa police through their masks, of which Will would have gained control over to put an end to the Kavalry.
During writing out later episodes, they came to the idea that the Kavalry was also seeking to capture Doctor Manhattan for themselves, and dropped the mind-control aspect, while modifying Trieu's plan to piggyback off the Kavalry's.
The use of the frozen squid to lay waste to Trieu's plan was an inspiration from trying to capture a similar shot from the comic series of looking down at the devastation caused by the squid attack in 1985.
They had struggled with what visual aspects they wanted to show here, but then recalled that in the pilot episode, they had established about Veidt's use of squid rainfall to continue to remind the world of an alien threat, and connected the dots to the finale.
The importance of eggs had been something showrunner Lindelof had placed throughout prior episodes of the show, so that viewers would be aware of the significance of the egg in the final scene of the episode.
Lindelof and his team had considered three possible endings of this episode: in addition to the one where Angela eats the egg and attempts to step onto the pool, they considered one where she simply crushed the egg in her hand, and another of putting the egg back into the carton and into the refrigerator.
Staying with the choice where Angela eats the egg, they then debated how far they should go with the final shot, cutting the scene short to leave the implication vague.
Lindelof says he does not consider the ending to be a cliffhanger, and intended to imply that Angela received Doctor Manhattan's powers by the egg, as the series had been written with the considering of what Angela would do with those types of powers, given that she would be more passionate about using such powers compared to Doctor Manhattan's passiveness.
The Rivière Noire Sud-Ouest (Black River Southwest) is a tributary of the south shore of the Noire River flowing, entirely in the unorganized territory from Mont-Élie in Charlevoix-Est Regional County Municipality, in Quebec, Canada.
The lower part of this valley is served by route 170 which links Saint-Siméon to Petit-Saguenay, which passes on the north shore of the Noire River.
In 430 BC, a plague, which some believe to have been typhoid fever, killed one-third of the population of Athens, including their leader Pericles.
Following this disaster, the balance of power shifted from Athens to Sparta, ending the Golden Age of Pericles that had marked Athenian dominance in the Greek ancient world.
His writings are the primary source of information on this outbreak, and modern academics and medical scientists consider typhoid fever the most likely cause.
In 2006, a study detected DNA sequences similar to those of the bacterium responsible for typhoid fever in dental pulp extracted from a burial pit dated to the time of the outbreak.
The cause of the plague has long been disputed and other scientists have disputed the findings, citing serious methodologic flaws in the dental pulp-derived DNA study.
The disease is most commonly transmitted through poor hygiene habits and public sanitation conditions; during the period in question related to Athens above, the whole population of Attica was besieged within the Long Walls and lived in tents.
A long-held belief is that 9th US President William Henry Harrison died of pneumonia, but recent studies suggest he likely died from typhoid.
This disease may also have been a contributing factor in the death of 12th US President Zachary Taylor due to the unsanitary conditions in Washington, DC, in the mid-19th century.
During the Spanish–American War, American troops were exposed to typhoid fever in stateside training camps and overseas, largely due to inadequate sanitation systems.
Major Walter Reed, Edward O. Shakespeare, and Victor C. Vaughan were appointed August 18, 1898, with Reed being designated the president of the board.
The Typhoid Board determined that during the war, more soldiers died from this disease than from yellow fever or from battle wounds.
The board promoted sanitary measures including latrine policy, disinfection, camp relocation, and water sterilization, but by far the most successful antityphoid method was vaccination, which became compulsory in June 1911 for all federal troops.
In 1902, guests at mayoral banquets in Southampton and Winchester, England, became ill and four died, including the Dean of Winchester, after consuming oysters.
The most notorious carrier of typhoid fever, but by no means the most destructive, was Mary Mallon, also known as Typhoid Mary.
Public-health authorities told Mary to give up working as a cook or have her gall bladder removed, as she had a chronic infection that kept her active as a carrier of the disease.
A notable outbreak occurred in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1964, due to contaminated tinned meat sold at the city's branch of the William Low chain of stores.
Marcilio Florencio Mota Filho commonly known as Nino (born 10 April 1997) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Fluminense.
Kyron Brown (born May 26, 1996) is an American football cornerback for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL).
He was cut at the end of training camp during final roster cuts, but was re-signed by the Jets to their practice squad on September 1, 2019.
Brown made his NFL debut on November 17, 2019 against the Washington Redskins, playing ten snaps on special teams in a 34-17 victory.
Brown made his first career start on December 8 against the Miami Dolphins, making five tackles before leaving the game due to a quad injury.
Ji Zhe (; 14 October 1986 – 5 December 2019) was a Chinese professional basketball player for the Beijing Ducks of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA).
In August 2018, Ji was diagnosed with lung cancer, but did not publicly disclose the news and quietly sought treatment in the United States.
Despite more than a year of treatment, his health deteriorated and he died on 5 December 2019 at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing, aged 33.
On 8 December 2019, the Ducks' played their first home game after Ji's death as a tribute to him, and all Ducks players wore his No.
The team placed a T-shirt with the number 51 on each of the 18,000 seats inside the Wukesong Arena and retired the number.
The Ducks defeated the visiting Shenzhen Aviators by the score of 102 to 100, with Jeremy Lin scoring three free throws in the final seconds of the game.
Many filipino champions, such as Monsour Del Rosario, Samuel Morrison, Jordan Dominguez and Elaine Alora have been produced under his tutelage.
In the 1930s and the 1950s, the early vocal groups that performed both singing and performing at the same time are regarded as the main stream of idols.
According to this view, the first girl group was the Jeogori Sisters, which debuted around 1939, and the boy group was the Arirang Boyz.
The first idol to go abroad is Kim Sisters, a three-member girl group that worked in the U.S. and South Korea from the 1950s to the 1970s.
Silver bell Sisters, which debuted in 1954, Hyun Sisters and Jung Sisters who debuted in the mid-1950s, Lee Sisters who debuted in 1962, Lily Sisters who debuted in 1969, who debuted in 1971, and who debuted in 1981 became popular.
But they all debuted since the 1990s and are far from the concept of idol groups associated with Korean Wave and K-pop, and what is effectively considered the beginning of the current boy and girl groups are and , respectively, which debuted in the 1980s.
Since the mid-1970s, the independent genre of dance music, which was formed based on disco, soul, and funk introduced into Korea, has been popular since the mid- to late 1980s.
Based on Western dance music, dance music singers or groups performed performances combining exciting music and fancy dances, with the representative being fire trucks, seatorae, Kim Wan-sun and Nami.
Since the early 1990s, in Korea, repeated rhythms of electronic dance music such as house, techno, and trance combined with melody that gives a feeling of trot, and added simple rap due to the influence of the American hip hop was especially popular among teenagers.
Furthermore, these younger generations began to find and listen to various latest music of those days that was not introduced in Korea.
It is a strategic system that allows teenagers selected through auditions to practice singing and dancing and then debut as singers, and recoups the capital they invested in during their debut through record sales and performance activities.
The first-generation idol groups are usually a group of around five people, each of whom divided their roles into lead vocal, sub-vocal, dancer and rapper.
While singing on stage, they danced so unified that it was called ‘group dance’ and this choreography was difficult compared to previous dance music, but at the same time included ‘point choreography’ that teenagers can easily imitate.
They often sing lip-syncing as they performed with a focus on choreography, and most of the audience recognizes that even the song is not an original voice of idol singers but a song corrected by digital techniques.
In addition, a series of controversies have erupted in contracts with idol members or adjustment of profits, and the idol-training system was still relying on terrestrial broadcasting in the process of the music market being converted into digital centers.
The first-generation idol group developed into a confrontation between SM Entertainment which tended to plan idols with mysterious images and DSP Media which tended to plan idols with realistic images.
and DSP's Sechs Kies competed, both of which made their debuts with songs about social criticism and were popular for rhythmical dance music.
SHINHWA maintained the group’s identity thanks to fans’ spontaneous solidarity along with its sexy masculine image, while g.o.d built a friendly image by appearing on entertainment shows and acting as a song that many generations can relate to.
Later, S.E.S displayed an image of an unrealistic and mysterious girl, and Fin.K.L displayed an image of a friendly girl that might exist.
In the early 2000s, first-generation idols declined, and solo singers from big agencies such as BoA, Rain and Seven were popular as well as solo singers who used to work as a group in the past such as Kangta, Moon Hee-joon, Bada, Ock Joo-hyun, Lee Hyori.
And SS501, Super Junior in 2005 and Big Bang in 2006 made its debut, but they were not as trendy as first-generation idols.
However, as the title track 〈Tell Me〉 of Wonder Girls’ first full-length album, 《The Wonder Years》, became so popular that it was named ‘syndrome’ in the country in 2007, the fever of idol which called ‘second-generation idol’ began again.
They regularly evaluate trainees' singing and dancing abilities and break contracts with trainees if their abilities do not improve or are significantly inferior.
Concerned about privacy concerns, the agency's CEO emphasizes personality to trainees, and some of the trainees who are actually involved in the personality controversy are released.
Music is mainly a hook song in which a short chorus is repeatedly presented, and is deliberately composed similar to Western pop music to target the Korean foreign market.
Since the digitalization of the music market requires frequent release of albums and continuous exposure to the public to maximize profits as an agency, single and mini albums (EP) with fewer tracks than regular albums have become common.
Unlike first-generation idols, who mainly adopted mystical strategies to maintain their image, second-generation idols appeared on entertainment shows and established ‘friendly images outside the stage’ that were different from ‘image on stage’.
Second-generation idols took a strategy to expand their fans by making middle-aged people also feel natural about idol groups through this.
Wonder Girls and Girls' Generation, which debuted in 2007, gained popularity as they were perceived as rivals, but few have been called rivals since then, as many idol groups have made their debut.
Wonder Girls, Kara, and Girls' Generation pursued a girl's image that reflected the male gaze, especially Kara inherited the image of Fin.K.L.
Brown Eyed Girls became popular with both men and women for their own musical characteristics, while 4minute, 2NE1, f(x), and miss A inherited the autonomous and majestic female image of Baby V.O.X and DIVA.
TVXQ and Big Bang were considered different from traditional idols in terms of pursuing music that showed originality and high maturity, and TVXQ in particular drew attention with its strategy of different albums from country to country.
Specifically, the boy group uses EXO, which has made a big difference in terms of its activities, as the starting point for the third generation.
In addition, there is a stance which thinks some of the second-generation girl groups are categorized as 2.5 when they debuted after 2010.
The idol group's familiarization strategy has become more diverse thanks to the spread of digital media, with the emergence of unprocessed, self-produced contents through YouTube, afreeca TV and Naver V app, rather than just TV entertainment programs.
In terms of planning, the ‘localization’ strategy, which is active outside of Korea, has started in earnest by including members who are not Korean nationals directly into the group, not just releasing albums that are different countries or performing in different languages.
By applying the format of the popular survival music audition program from the early 2010s, idol groups like I.O.I and Wanna One have been selected through TV programs and made their debut.
Meanwhile, since the mid-2010s, there have been more cases of second- and third-generation idols using group activity breaks to release records different from the group’s characteristics as solo singers.

Voices is a 1985 4 minute 16mm short animated film by Joanna Priestley, using ink, watercolor and pastel drawings/paintings on paper.
She wrote the script, rehearsed it and hired cinematographer Jan Baross to shoot live action 16mm footage that was used for rotoscoping.
In September 1983, Priestley moved to Valencia, CA to attend California Institute of the Arts, where she was teaching assistant to Jules Engel, head of the Experimental Animation Department.
Voices became one of three films, including Jade Leaf (the first computer film made at Cal Arts) and The Dancing Bulrushes (co-directed by Steven Subotnick) that were presented at Priestley’s thesis review.
The index cards were shot in 16mm film (Kodak ECO stock) with an old Bolex camera that was purchased at a flea market.
Wiancko collected source material with a Tascam stereo cassette recorder and layered the sound master together on a 1/4” open reel recorder.
Voices was screened in many retrospectives of Priestley's works including at REDCAT in Los Angeles in April 2009,Stuttgart International Animation Festival (Germany) on May 3, 2017,British Film Institute National Film Theatre (London, UK) on May 13, 2017,Sweaty Eyeballs Animation Festival in Baltimore, MD on October 18, 2019 and Fantoche International Animation Festival (Baden, Switzerland) on September 3, 2019.

Located between Cannock and Heath Hayes, the area is predominately residential with a large superstore, fuel station, pub and community centre.
Prevention Through Deterrence is a set of policies instituted by the United States with the intent to deter the illegal crossing of its southern border with Mexico.
Since its institution an estimated 10,000 migrants passing through Mexico have died in an attempt to cross through the Sonoran Desert into the United States.
Mexico's Secretariat of Foreign Affairs places the number of deaths at roughly 450 per year (including migrant deaths on both the US and Mexican territory).
The United States Government relies on the environment of the Sonoran Desert to deter these migrants without much help from the border enforcement agency.
The Chinese Exclusions Act of 1888 was a federal statute that prohibited Chinese laborers from entering and re-entering the United States.
According to anthropologist Jason De León, it was during the implementation of the Act that we see an early application of prevention through deterrence by the immigration agents.
De León points out that in order to deter more immigrants from crossing, patrol officers only apprehend immigrants on established routes where they had access to resources, this began to push immigrants into more rural areas with less resources.
The U.S. government can use the number of immigrant apprehensions to evaluate prevention through deterrence but, this does not measure how many migrants allude border patrol or how many how many migrants are dying at the southern border.
Alternatively a 1997 report by the Government Accountability Office, did use the immigrant death tole to measure the effect of prevention through deterrence.
The Department of Homeland Security also publishes the number of migrant deaths; however, according to De León, it is the lowest estimate.
The goals of the Strategic Plan of 1994 as stated by border patrol, was not only to slow the number of migrants crossing the southern border, but to promote confidence in the United States' ability to protect that border.
De León also believes that the fear of necroviolence not only serves as a way to prevent more immigrants from crossing the border, but by condemning individuals to a clandestine death they, and the people who knew them, are stripped of spiritual and emotional closure.
According to De León, the U.S. government does not acknowledge the part it plays in the increase of migrant deaths at the southern border; however, over the past 20 years the United States government has been collecting materials left behind by undocumented immigrants.
As Paul Farmer pointed out, this is a technique used by authoritative structures to establish a particular historical account of an event.
To use the uninhabited environment in prevention through deterrence, border patrol increased surveillance in cities along the southern border, which pushed migrant entry points into rural areas.
Many determined migrants also chose to cross the Río Bravo which separates northeast Mexico from Texas because this area is known to have less border security.
Over 22 years (from 1990-2012), 2,238 migrant bodies were found in Prima County, Arizona, and 1,813 bodies, over half of those recovered, died from exposure.
In May 2019 the European Union was accused of knowingly sending several thousand migrants to cross the Mediterranean Sea from Libya.
The Mediterranean has been used as means of Prevention Through Deterrence when the EU made the decision to decrease its search and rescue operations in 2014.
Bottici is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Director of Gender Studies at The New School for Social Research and Eugene Lang College, New York.
After a post-doctorate at the SUM (Istituto Italiano di Science Umane) under the guidance of Roberto Esposito, she taught at the University of Frankfurt, subsequently joining the faculty of The New School for Social Research, where she has been teaching since 2010.
Bottici's philosophical work is devoted to exploring the politics of imagination in its different aspects, from a general theory about the role of images in politics to more specific inquiries into sexism, heteronormativity, ethnonationalism, Eurocentrism, Islamophobia, racism, and the coloniality of power.
Bottici's work examines the function of the metaphor of the state as a person within the Western canon of political philosophy and its fate in the contemporary epoch, a time in which challenges to the traditional notion of state sovereignty question the idea of clear-cut boundaries, and therefore the possibility of drawing any analogy between states and individuals.
Palgrave 2009) offered a systematic reconstruction of the role that the analogy between states and individuals has played in European modern political philosophy and in contemporary theories of globalization, where the modern sovereign state is often taken as the culminating point of political life and where the gendered dimension of political thinking is emphasized.
Jan Niklas Rolf critiqued Bottici’s approach as conflating the analogy between the domestic and the international realm (the domestic analogy properly understood) and the analogy between the state of nature and the international realm (the state of nature analogy).
By offering a critique in the form of a genealogy, following Nietzsche’s Genealogy of Morals, Bottici provides a critical philosophical framework for the concept of political myth, explaining why political myths are a crucial ingredient of modern politics.
Bottici and Challand argue that the image of a clash between Islam and the West is a political myth because it is a self-fulfilling prophecy nourished by centuries of Orientalism, Occidentalism, and identity politics as rooted in the history of European colonialism.
For Bottici and Challand, the concept of Europe relies on a specific politics of imagination where mythical and historical narratives are most often intermingled.
Examples include the idea that Europe was born out of the Greek Civilization, the belief in an intrinsically Christian Europe, and finally, the concept of Europe as the cradle of modernity.
They argue that among Europe’s founding myths, the most powerful ones are those that rely on geopolitical maps and other artefacts of the imagination, such as the division between Eastern and Western Europe or the idea of a fortress Europe.
The imaginal, defined as the space made of images, of representations that are also presences in themselves, acts both as the result of an individual faculty as well as the product of the social context.
Bottici’s work on the imaginal, as this third alternative between the individual and the social reflects her efforts to move towards a new social ontology.
In a 2017 seminar on mass psychology and Trumpism with Judith Butler, Bottici emphasized the ongoing production and receipt of the political image as a mode of the ongoing production and receipt of the political self.
The philosophy of transindividuality, according to which individuals must be understood not as objects, but as continuous and contingent processes of association that happen at the inter-, infra-, and supra-individual level, is central to Bottici’s feminist writings.
Her recent work in this area elaborates a contemporary theory of anarcha-feminism, which argues against a one single principle (or arché) that explains gender oppression, and emphasizes ongoing interrogations of specific intersections of class, race, empire, sexuality, hetero- and cis- normativity.
Whereas Bottici’s academic work provides a philosophy of the imaginal, her experimental writings put forward an imaginal philosophy, that is, a form of polystylism where literary images convey philosophical ideas.
An important part of her work in this area was devoted to retelling the myths of femininity from the point of view of contemporary time, transforming figures of the old patriarchal mythology, such as Sheherazade, Ariadne, and Europa, into feminist symbols.
Bottici’s creative practice has extended to Anglophone poetry and the art of the libretto, including her recent collaboration with composer and multimedia artist Jean-Baptiste Barriere.
In late 1795 Admiral Hugh Cloberry Christian hoisted his flag aboard the 98-gun and assembled his squadron and the transports, numbering over two hundred merchantmen carrying 16,000 men, and making up the largest troop convoy to leave England to that date.
The expedition sailed on 6 October, 16 November, and 9 December, but each time weather forced the vessels to put back.
For a time she left the violin to play Hawaiian guitar, but then she returned to the violin, which she played with the DuBois Symphony Orchestra.
Overall, she performed for U.S. military personnel from 1944 until 1965, with stops including Greenland, Guam, Hawaii, Japan, Korea, the South Pacific islands, Taiwan, Iwo Jima, Labrador, and Saipan.
A successful audition made Neal a member of the group Phil Reed and his Golden West Girls on radio station WHJB in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
In the early 1950s, she was featured on WWVA radio in Wheeling, West Virginia, and on television stations WDTV and WENS in Pittsburgh and WJAC in Johnstown.
Neal was hospitalized for 16 weeks after her hip was broken when the car in which she and a member of her musical group were riding skidded on a wet highway and hit a concrete pillar on December 4, 1951.
Word of her situation brought unsolicited responses -- over 600 handkerchiefs and monetary donations (which she donated to help handicapped children).
After recovering from that injury, she moved to Nevada, where she performed in venues in Elko, Lake Tahoe, and Las Vegas.
On February 15, 2004, Neal died of a cancer-related illness at Manor Care Health Services in Reno, Nevada, at age 85.
At the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law in Freiburg, Germany, he is completing his doctorate degree on human trafficking in Southeast Europe.
When the HDZ won the 2016 parliamentary election, he was appointed as an advisor for legal and political issues to Prime Minister Plenković.
The HDZ won 4 seats and the highest number of votes with 22.7 percent, while Ressler won the highest number of preferential votes on the HDZ's list; 52,309 total votes (21.71 percent) which was the fourth-best overall score.
Within the Ninth European Parliament, Ressler operates within the Committee on Budgets (BUDG) and the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE).
He is also a member of the European Parliament Intergroup on Seas, Rivers, Islands and Coastal Areas and the MEPs Against Cancer group.
The navigable Napa River flows from Napa to the San Francisco Bay, and early in Napa's history was essentially the only way to transport produce and passengers to San Fran, and assorted goods and passengers back.
In 2009, on the anniversary of VVN (Victory in Vietnam) Day, Angela Abar, then a police officer in Saigon, is met by Doctor Manhattan in a bar.
After explaining how he experiences time simultaneously, Manhattan says that after leaving earth in 1985, he had been on Europa, creating life in a closed eco-system.
He had created clones of Phillips and Crookshanks, the lord and lady of a British manor, who had housed him and his father after they escaped Germany in the 1930s.
In 1985, he teleported the manor to Europa for the clones, but left due to the clones' obsession with pleasing and worshiping him.
Manhattan explains events of the future to her, knowing she will help him during a period in time he cannot foresee.
In two weeks' time, Angela helps Manhattan select a body from the morgue to take on its human appearance to avoid suspicion.
Seeing Manhattan has fallen in love, Veidt offers him a small device he had created in 1985, originally intended as a weapon to use against Manhattan.
In exchange, Manhattan offers to teleport Veidt to his Europa eco-system, where the Phillips and Crookshanks clones will serve and adore him as he so desires.
Before allowing Angela to use the device on him, Manhattan visits Will in New York City, explaining he will need to help his granddaughter Angela in 2019.
In 2019, after Angela removes Veidt's device, Manhattan tells her that he is aware of the Seventh Kavalry plan to capture him, and teleports their children to safety with Will in downtown Tulsa.
Angela realizes Manhattan is speaking simultaneously to her in 2019 and to Will in 2009, and demands Manhattan ask Will how he knew of Judd's connection to Cyclops.
Manhattan states the Kavalry are about to attack, and Angela, despite knowing that Manhattan is aware of the future, prepares to defend him; Manhattan tells her this was the moment he fell in love with her.
The two kill most of the Kavalry, but one last one fires a tachyon cannon to capture him, to Angela's anguish.
The choice to not reveal his face during these scenes was part of Damon Lindelof and Jeff Jensen's script, as at this point, he was assumed to appear as he looked like in the limited series.
They also feared that showing Manhattan's face at this point would cause fans of the limited series to be disappointed and upset, regardless of what approach they used for matching the comic.
As shooting a conversation where only one person's face would be visible, Kassell worked with cinematographer Greg Middleton to establish what blocking shots they would use to avoid excessive repetition through these scenes, as well as how they would transition in and out of these scenes.
Abdul-Mateen had accepted the role of Cal before knowing he would also be Doctor Manhattan; he was only told this between filming of the second and third episodes.
Because he knew this would likely involve him being naked, he hired a personal trainer and started a diet to be able to present a good body image for the camera.
Makeup to cover Abdul-Mateen took about two and a half hours of airbushing, while removing the makeup took another hour of washing with solvents.
The episode included shots from within Karnak, Veidt's Antarctica base, and directed some shots to be nearly identical to those from the comic.
The illustrations were drawn by Dave Gibbons, the illustrator of the original limited series, and who has been working with Lindelof on the series.
Kassell said that they opted to use a post-credits scene to avoid disrupting the calculated flow of the rest of the episode, comparing the scene to the comic's additional material after each chapter.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the episode has an approval rating of 100% with an average score of 9.25 out of 10, based on 23 reviews.
The Melbourne school named Prahran College of Technology and then Prahran College of Advanced Education was a late-secondary and tertiary institution with a business school, a trade school, and a multi-disciplinary art school that dated back to the 1860s populated by instructors and students who were among Australia’s significant artists, designers and performers.
The Prahran Mechanics' Institute was established in 1856 with part of its activities separating and being identified the Prahran Technical Art School in 1915.
That was incorporated in the Prahran Technical School in 1950 with its tertiary and trade education becoming the Prahran College of Technology in 1967.
It offered a wide range of higher education and TAFE courses (later including degrees), with a focus on art and design.
A May 1, 1854 meeting he attended with other businessmen of the district resolved to establish a Prahran Mechanics’ Institute, and from a fund-raising campaign a dedicated building was constructed in Chapel Street and opened in December 1856.
Throughout the 1860s the Victorian government, seeking to improve industrial design, established schools of design for 'working men', and a School of Art and Design was set up in Prahran.
By 1876 the emphasis had switched to preparatory classes for university entrance and for public examinations leading to employment in the Public Service.
The Institute closed for lack of funds during the 1890s depression, but Henry Furneaux in his appointment as Secretary in 1900 re-established the Institute, started to restore its membership and agitated for better accommodation for classes.
He proposed to his committee of management the employment of Thomas Levick, part-time art teacher at the Working Men’s College (now RMIT) and previously at the Castlemaine School of Mines, and he was duly appointed from July 1, 1908.
September 4, 1909 brought Education Department recognition as a Prahran Technical Art School, but unlike for other such schools Prahran did not receive government maintenance grants and though by August 1911 the School had an enrolment of forty-eight, Furneaux was obliged to continue lobbying for a new building.
When Levick resigned to take up a permanent position at the Melbourne college Furneaux strategically left the appointment of his replacement to the Education Department which on February 6, 1912, hired William R. Dean, a lithographer and commercial artist who had gone on to study at the National Gallery in London and was made Associate of the Royal College of Architecture.
A new trade block was opened in 1961 on the corner of St John and Thomas Streets, with a second stage finished in 1963.
Evening courses were also provided in Cabinet-Making and Home Wood Craft; Shorthand; Typewriting; Dressmaking; Invalid Cookery; Ticket writing; Display; Millinery and Preparatory Apprentice Class.
The Committee on the Future of Tertiary Education in Australia was appointed on August 27, 1961 and via the Universities Commission reported to the Commonwealth Minister, Senator John Gorton.
Willis Connolly heading the Victorian State Advisory Committee on Technical Education oversaw implementation of the recommendations of the Commission and created the Victorian Institute of Colleges (VIC) through an Act on June 9, 1965.
That year the senior part of the school had begun to call itself Prahran Technical College and Alan Warren, a graphic design teacher from RMIT School of Art replaced Duncan as Principal.
Prahran was considered to be at the vanguard of design education, offering the first Diploma course major in photography in Australia.
Enrolments then in the art school under Head of Art Frank Carter then comprised 80 secondary teachers in training who received £15 a fortnight from the Education Department, 30 Certificate of Art students and 200 part-time students.
Its favourable position was backed up by the fact that the school had an established council that could become a new autonomous College council as suggested by VIC.
In order that the institute could officially become a College in line with Principal Alan Warren's ambitions, and affiliate with the Victoria Institute of Colleges, General Studies was included in the curriculum from May 1965.
The Prahran and District Parent-Teachers' Council and the Victorian Teachers' Union organised a meeting at the Prahran Town Hall on 12 May 1966 to protest conditions in local schools and carried a resolution calling on the State Government to apply the Health Act to State Schools.
Cr Martin Smith, President of the Prahran Technical School Council, responded by showing the meeting plans for a new Arts and Commerce Block for the College, a multi-storeyed building which had been approved by the Education Department against a background of inaction since 1947 despite Union complaints since the 1930s of leaky Technical School roofs and ‘slum-like’ conditions.
The new building, of five storeys and a basement, was constructed during 1966 and 1967 at a cost of $1.5 million with $800,000 granted by the Commonwealth Government.
This structure became the basis of Prahran’s well respected ‘Preliminary’ or ‘Foundation’ Year, headed by Gordon Leviston, which in 1970 included Liberal Studies: History of Arts 1, Matriculation English Expression; Design Studies: Image Design, Structure Design; Related Studies: Drawing, Technical Drawing, Lettering, and Rendering.
This building was demolished fifty years later for the construction by the Andrews government of a 25 million 'vertical' secondary college, next to Melbourne Polytechnic and the National Institute of Circus Arts, and which opened in 2019.
That year sculptor Lenton Parr who was Head of Sculpture at RMIT (1964–66) was appointed Head of Art and Design in the building still being completed as he arrived.
He appointed teachers who became influential in Australian art and was held in high esteem by staff, but his fine art philosophy clashed with the vocationally-oriented aims of Principal Warren, who acted unsuccessfully to have him removed by advertising his job, prompting an inquiry by the Minister.
Warren’s appointments of end-of-career advertising industry men were unpopular with his staff and there was unrest amongst students, which against the background of the government inquiry into the governance of the College and resignations of 16 staff, culminated in a ‘work-in’ in June and July 1969 in the Prahran Town Hall which was reported in the newspapers of July 31.
The tertiary section of the school joining the Victorian Institute of Colleges did not automatically split Prahran Tech into College, School and Trade sections, so 'separation' of secondary education, still housed in the institution, from the tertiary, had to be considered.
In particular, during 1970 there was discussion about moving the boys out of the premises behind the High Street building in part due to objections to their behaviour from female art students, and the Mechanics Institute was agitating to resume its buildings.
The Schools' Board on 4 November 1970 adopted the 'Organizational Structure of Prahran Technical School' plan under which Warren would continue as Principal, Kate McKemmish as Vice-Principal in charge of a co-ed school at Hornby Street and Keane as Vice-Principal of St John St trades studies until separation.
Even when split up, the school’s four parts — the senior Prahran Technical College, Prahran junior Technical School (Boys), Prahran Junior Technical School (Girls) and the trade schools — still referred to themselves as ‘Prahran Tech’, until reconfigured as Prahran Secondary College then closed in the 1980s.
As a response to the government review, Art and Design, Business Studies and Liberal Studies Boards reporting to the Administrative and Academic Boards were appointed, all with student representation, to oversee the governance of the new institution alongside Staffing, Finance and Building and Maintenance Committees.
Mid-stream course changes at the beginning of 1971 were prompted when Prahran's new courses in photography, cinematography, film production and the proposed course in television production were found not to have been approved by the VIC; Warren had mistakenly assumed outside approval was not necessary.
A compromise allowed Prahran to submit their Product Design, Fashion Design, Cinematography and Ceramics courses for acceptance but Photography or Print Making remained unapproved.
Having realised his ten-year ambition for a ‘College’ but as a consequence of Council, staff and student disenchantment for which he had lately been the cause, and after having his position reclassified and advertised, Warren resigned at the end of 1971.
Mirsky, became Acting Principal on 24 January 1972, initially applied for the position of Principal, but withdrew his application in April.
His successor was Dr. David Armstrong (1941–2006), the first Principal who was not from an art background, who replaced staff hired by Warren with Victor Majzner, sculptor John Davies, and photographer Athol Shmith.
Other lecturers in 1971 included film-maker Paul Cox, painters Jeffrey Makin and Sandra Leveson, Pam Hallandal who had been at the school since 1958, Tim Moorhead, John Howley, Caroline May, Industrial Designer Edmond Worsley who was Head of Art in 1971, and Gordon Leviston, at the school since 1950, who was Head of Preliminary Studies which was also being restructured by Armstrong.
Equipped with $46,500 of new equipment, Business students were streamed into Accounting and Data Processing from a general first year course, in which all took Matriculation English Expression, Social Studies, Economic History, Business Mathematics and Finite Mathematics, with semester-based subjects available on a part-time basis so that students could be working while studying, often taking eight years to complete a Diploma of Business.
In 1972 the VIC forewarned of budget cuts to come in the next 3 years and that the Business Studies Building would be merely refurbished instead of replaced.
No other expansion would be funded, though purchase of properties at 43 and 53 Green Street already underway proceeded, and the Education Department acquired a block at 43 St John Street for $11,250.51.
The Fashion Design course, with high demands on space and whose staff qualifications did not meet VIC requirements, was sacrificed to the budget cuts, and to some predominating male prejudice.
After 54 years as a council-controlled school funded by the Education Department, Prahran Technical School ceased to exist in June 1970 when it became part of the Victorian Institute of Colleges and on 21 February 1973 took a new name; Prahran College of Advanced Education.
In 1977 the college offered its first degree, a Bachelor of Business (Accounting), and in March 1978 the School of Art and Design applied unsuccessfully to the VIC to offer courses leading to a Bachelor of Arts (Interdisciplinary - Art and Design).
Armstrong’s interest in community colleges and his ambition to develop a multi-campus institution offering non-tertiary, part-time study advanced its activities outside the Diploma courses, and establishment of adult education for early school leavers and women especially.
He positioned Prahran as a 'comprehensive community college’, ‘small and human’ running a with student-centred program that sidestepped status distinctions in tertiary education.
Though his changes were not universally popular due to unease by some about their ‘dumbing down’ the College, and though he often clashed with VIC, he was generally respected.
In addition the College provided cheap student accommodation, offered cheap health insurance and ran a Medical Centre, assisted in financing exhibitions at the Art & Design Building Gallery, and also ran a number of short courses.
The TAFE (Technical and Further Education) system was created in 1975 by an Act of Parliament and governed by the Victorian Education Department, a separate program from that of Prahran College of Advanced Education as governed by the Victorian Institute of Colleges.
It proved a boon for Prahran in providing a purpose for components of courses split from the Technical College after its dissolution, and in establishing a junior and senior college system with strong ties to the local community, integral to, and providing pathways into, the College and thus served Armstrong's ambitions.
Dr Colin Woodrow was appointed Assistant Director, TAFE in 1975, overseeing all of its courses, which included, in 1976, Certificate of Business Studies, Childcare Studies, Library Studies, Certificate of Applied Art and a Trade School with divisions in Furniture and Fibrous Plastering.
Tertiary Orientation Year in General Studies was an equivalent to today’s Victorian Higher School Certificate, was an entry qualification into PCAE and some other institutions.
The Prahran Art Foundation Year was administered by TAFE, and Adult Extension Courses were also important entry pathways into the College.
1976 subjects included Basic Photography, Basic Pottery, Representational Painting, Life Drawing, Intermediate Painting, Jewellery and Silver Craft, Weaving and Textile Art, General Sculpture, Technical illustration, Graphics and Design, Printmaking, Airbrush Techniques, Intermediate Photography, Intermediate Ceramics alongside Furniture Studies, Mandarin Chinese, Modern Greek, Indonesian, Hebrew and Yiddish, as well as Business Studies subjects like Small Business, Financial Management, Accounting and Book-keeping, Business Law, Customer Relations and Social Science subjects.
In 1977 Prahran College Extension tutors in drawing and painting included Howard Arkley, Elizabeth Gower and Stephen May; Prahran graduate Betty Knight in sculpture; Ann Learmonth ran a weaving and knotting class; Cheryl Small, another Prahran graduate, offered ceramics.
Peter Schmedig tutored in Art History and Appreciation; and Alan Money, Head of Drama, ran a Theatre Workshop while playwright Simon Hopkinson ran a course called The Writer's Craft.
Staff agreed that community courses led to increased enrolments in the diploma; Prahran graduates Euan McGillivray, Warren Townsend and Maurice Hambur taught Photography and as John Cato noted in 1981, the community program generated more than a third of the 1981 intake for photography and provided training for staff who might eventually be employed by the College.
Dr Colin Campbell replaced Armstrong in July 1980 and took forward to the VIC proposals for Bachelors of Arts in Fine Art in Ceramics and Photography and in Indonesian Language and Culture; Bachelors Degrees in Business (Personnel Administration, and Credit Management); and a Postgraduate Diploma in Corporate Risk Management, for the 1982-84 triennium.
On 23 December 1981 Prahran College of Advanced Education split from Prahran College of TAFE and was merged with State College of Victoria teachers’ colleges at Burwood, Rusden and Toorak to create Victoria College across five campuses.
Prahran continued to develop and offer new courses and at the time had 767 full-time and 1192 part-time TAFE students, and 1350 in higher education, taught by 125 academic and 121 general staff and a budget of $5,097,000.
For 1983 the Prahran campus had received the lowest funds per student of the 17 tertiary colleges/institutes in Victoria prompting a student deputation to the Labor government in Canberra.
Business Studies suffered a loss of two-thirds of its program to another campus when Accounting and Data Processing was transferred to Burwood.
The Prahran entity ceased to be from January 1, 1992 when an Act of Parliament brought Prahran College of TAFE under the auspices of Swinburne University of Technology, with the only tertiary courses, Graphics and Industrial Design, remaining on the campus.
All others were moved to Deakin University except Prahran Fine Art under Gareth Sansom which was relocated and amalgamated with the Victorian College of the Arts, where the next Dean of Art was William Kelly.
As the VCA was not split into departments, it was the Prahran heads who were given the role in several cases, with Pam Hallandal becoming Head of Drawing (then retiring at the end of 1993), Head of Ceramics was Greg Wain, previously Head of Ceramics at Prahran, and Victor Majzner likewise became Head of Painting at the VCA.
Printmaking was a separate Department at VCA before the merger and its Head was a Prahran graduate, Allan Mitelman, who was replaced by John Scurry, Head of Printmaking at Prahran.
I foresaw the end of the heady days of creative initiatives, of working within a system with a degree of autonomy for an administration which trusted that the decisions we made were always in the interests of better educating aspiring arLsts.
Specimen is a 1996 Canadian science fiction thriller television film directed by John Bradshaw based on a story by Bradshaw and producer Damian Lee, and starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar as a young man with superpowers and an enigmatic past which catches up with him just as he begins to investigate it.
At the home of his grandparents (Dennis O'Connor and Jennifer Higgin), when his duvet begins to smoulder, he gets into a drawn bath to sleep in.
They are accosted by her bully of an ex-boyfriend Blaine (Mark Lutz) and a fight ensues, Mike manifesting super strength and an unfocussed power of remote or tactile spontaneous combustion: objects ignite and Blaine suffers burns to his chest from Mike's pyrokinetic touch.
During a baseball game at the community centre, Mike has a vision of James being hurt and bullied by another boy, Bart (Kevin Zegers).
Meanwhile, on two successive nights, two powerful-looking men emerge from a lake — aliens in human camouflage bio-suits: the bounty hunter Eleven (), and Sixty-Six (Andrew Jackson).
Masterson pays a visit to Mike and reveals what he knows about Mike's mother: she believed that she had been impregnated by an alien and that she left town before Mike was born.
That night, Blaine sneaks into Mike's vacated motel room and is apprehended by Eleven, who kills him once he learns of Mike's connection to Jessica.
Mike arrives calling for her, sees her helpless in the pool and jumps in, only to be ambushed by Eleven who tries to drown him.
Suddenly, Sixty-Six intervenes to save Mike and tells Eleven he is in charge and subdues him with a burst of flames.
Though the story's action is mostly set in the fictional American town of Eastfield, principal photography took place in Toronto, 2-23 October 1995.
Shooting locations include Centre 55 (corner of Main and Swanwick), a former East Toronto police station built in the 1900s, which served as the Eastfield police station.
However, the film fails to fulfill its potential:Given the limitless range of powers a writer could give to alien beings, one is rather disappointed that the four scribes ... couldn't come up with anything more intriguing for these beings than the ability to create fire at will.
By the end of this feature, the viewer may feel like he or she has spent the last hour and a half staring into a roaring campfire.
One can't fault the producers of this film for taking advantage of a story with which the public seems to have an endless fascination, though one could have hoped they might do something more interesting with it.
The Hackett House, at 2109 1st St. in Napa, California, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
The Bulldogs, led by 2nd-year head coach Dylan Howard, play their home games at the Elmore Gymnasium in Normal, Alabama as members of the Southwestern Athletic Conference.
For the second season in a row, Alabama A&M was ineligible for postseason play due to APR violations, preventing them from participating in the SWAC Tournament.
The village has a church dedicated to St. Peters and is located adjacent to the areas of Rawnsley, Littleworth and Hazelslade.
In October 2019, the series was renewed for a second season of 12 episodes, with all of the stars of the first season scheduled to appear.
The series centres on four young children living with a foster father, Mr. Leopold (Neil Crone) on a farm, who discover an extraterrestrial alien on their property after its spaceship crashes, and become drawn into the adventure of helping the alien in its mission to save endangered species.
Season One was filmed in and around the city of Guelph, Ontario and the second season was scheduled to also be filmed in that city, starting January 6, 2020.
In addition to CBC and Hulu, the series will air on Universal Kids in the US, CBBC in the UK, Norddeutscher Rundfunk in Germany, ABC in Australia, Sveriges Television in Sweden, NRK in Norway, and Globosat in Brazil.
He was also superintendent of construction on several buildings, including the Bank of Napa building, the First National Bank building in Napa, and two grammar school buildings.
Sharma had a small permanent population of merchants and soldiers and served mainly as a transshipment point between East Africa and India.
Sharma was located on the Raʾs Sharma promontory about east of on a plain situated between two plateaus overlooking a sandy beach.
The geography of the site makes it easily defensible, since the continental plateau rises above the plain, which is accessible only by means of two narrow wadis.
The plain itself is higher than beach and accessible only by two pathways, while the isolated plateau west of the settlement was accessible by only one.
Pre-Islamic artefacts from India, Oman and Persia have been recovered from the site, suggestive of a flourishing trade during Himyarite times.
The main period of settlement was the tenth through twelfth centuries, and that settlement, by far the most extensive in the history of the site, was created from scratch.
Writing in 985, al-Muqaddasī records that Sharma and Lasʿā () were dependencies of the Ziyadid rulers of Zabīd on the Red Sea coast.
About 1150, al-Idrīsī wrote that Sharma and Lasʿā on the coast of Ḥaḍramawt were stopovers on the sailing route from Aden to Mirbāṭ and were about one day apart.
Around 1300, al-Dimashqī mentions Sharma for the last time, noting only that it and al-Shiḥr were the two harbours of Ḥaḍramawt.
The extension of the Shiite Buyid emirate into Iraq (945) and of the Shiite Fatimid caliphate into the Red Sea may have provided propitious circumstances for the founding of a new trade emporium in southern Arabia.
Likewise, the reemergence of the Mediterranean Sea as a major hub of international trade may have drawn merchants away from the Persian Gulf and towards the Red Sea.
The error of al-Muqaddasī in placing Sharma on the Red Sea is best explained by the port's having been only just founded at the time of his writing.
The decline of Sharma from about 1150 may be linked to the rise of its obvious rivals, al-Shiḥr and Mirbāṭ, or to the aggressive policy of the Persian port of Kish.
It is thus impossible to determine whether buildings had one or two storeys except in the case of the thickest foundations walls, which almost certainly supported two storeys.
The building types have no known equivalents among medieval Ḥaḍramī archiecture, but are similar to ancient Sabaean types from the same region.
Sharma was originally protected on the landward side by an earthen and stone wall thick stretching from one plateau to the other.
Atop the plateau to the west of the settlement there was a citadel comprising two forts on the accessible eastern half separated by a gated wall thick from another fort built over top of the ruins of the Himyarite temple.
Pieces of incense and small glass beads are common, but most significant is the large and varied corpus of imported ceramic and glass vessels.
The nearest known kiln was at Yadhghat about to the north and it seems to have provided some pottery to the port.
Objects from ten different Chinese kiln sites have been identified: Changsha, Dingzhou, Ganzhou, Jianyang, Jingdezhen, Jizhou, Tong'an, Xicun, Yaozhou and Yue.
The earliest Chinese pieces were fired in the late ninth century and the latest in the early twelfth, but eleventh-century firings predominate.
There are a few examples of what might be the earliest glazed ware produced in South Arabia at Aden and Zabīd, or else evidence of the thirteenth-century occupation.
Besides the probable local production and those from Yadhghat, there are types from India, Sindh, the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea coast and the Swahili coast.
The number of African imports is unusually high: 16.2% of all unglazed ceramics and perhaps as much as 21.5% in the first phase.
They belong to the tradition known as Triangular-Incised Ware and items of the same type have been found at coastal sites of Shanga, Manda, Kilwa, Lamu and the Comoros.
It may originate in the area, since these minerals are found in Arabia, but the style has also been found at Kilwa, with pieces originating in Vohemar in Madagascar.
The rice was thought by its discoverers to have come from either Egypt or India, but it may have come from Madagascar, which is known to have exported rice to Kilwa that was then traded with Aden.
Circumstantial cases may be made linking Sharma with the trade in rock crystal from Madagascar and Dembeni, with the reprocessing of rough processed sugar cane from the Comoros, and with the Indian Ocean trade in African slaves.
The current Constitution establishes that the President of Costa Rica is both head of state and head of government, and the current officeholder is Carlos Alvarado Quesada of the Citizens' Action Party.
On the 29th of that month, the city of Cartago, head of the Partido de Costa Rican, also signed an act declaring the absolute independence of the Spanish Government.
During this period the main divisions occurred between two sides; the imperialist who sought to annex Costa Rica to the First Mexican Empire and the Republican who sought full independence from Costa Rica.
Between 1824 and 1838 Costa Rica was a member of the Federal Republic of Central America, and the president was the federal president of the country, although the political influence of the federal government was minimal.
Between 1824 and 1847 and according to the Constitutions of the United Provinces of Central America (1824), of Costa Rica from 1825 and 1844, the chief of the executive branch bore the title of supreme chief or first chief.
In Costa Rica there was no war between liberals and conservatives as was common in the rest of Latin America and even coup d'etats and de facto governments were mostly between liberal factions.
The historiography tends to divide this historical period in two, the previous one to the civil war of 1948 and the subsequent one to it.
The liberal hegemony only broke briefly with the government of Vicente Herrera Zeledón (who however had been elected by the liberals) who ruled de facto for just over a year between 1876 and 1877.
In addition, Costa Rican politics was then (and continues to be to some extent) eminently personalist, so political parties such as Civil, National, Peliquista and Republican revolved mostly around leaders and political figures and not ideologies although, in general terms, they usually be diffusely associated with liberalism.
However, even after the war, an important influence of liberal thinking could be seen in the presidents emanated from opposition coalitions as well as within the Social Christian Unity Party.
The National Republican Party led several liberals to the presidency, however, it would be under the government of perhaps its most famous president Rafael Ángel Calderón Guardia that the reforms known as the Social Guarantees would be given for the benefit of the poorest classes and would be one of the triggers of the war of 48.
After the rupture of the constitutional order in 1948 when the third and last Costa Rican civil war broke out, the victorious side formed by the National Liberation Movement exercised de facto power for 18 months under the self-appointed Founding Junta of the Second Republic chaired by José Figueres Ferrer who proclaimed the beginning of the Second Costa Rican Republic.
José Figueres would hand over the Executive Power to Otilio Ulate Blanco on November 8, 1949 as the alleged winner of the 1948 elections whose annulment by the government of Teodoro Picado and Rafael Ángel Calderón Guardia caused the civil war of the same year.
A National Constituent Assembly was also convened that drafted the 1949 Constitution, still in force, and also created the official positions of First and Second Vice presidents of the Republic.
The National Liberation Party, of social democratic ideology and led by the war-winning leader José Figueres Ferrer would become the main political force after 48, but both Calderonistas and liberals would remain active allying with each other, which would allow the governments of Mario Echandi Jiménez and José Joaquín Trejos Fernández.
Following the merger of almost all the antiliberacionista opposition grouped in the Unity Coalition in the Social Christian Unity Party in 1983, this party and the National Liberation would form a solid bipartisanism so that all presidents between 1982 and 2014 belonged to one of these two parties.
It is in 2014 that bipartisanship is broken with the coming to power of Luis Guillermo Solís Rivera, first president of the post-bipartisan stage and belonging to a party that was not linked to the two major traditional political tendencies (liberationism and calderonism) theCitizens' Action Party that had already been the main opposition force for two previous periods.

Te Ohu Whakaari was a Māori theatre cooperative formed by Rangimoana Taylor in the early 1980s that created and performed plays across New Zealand Aotearoa.
Rangimoana Taylor was inspired to form Te Ohu Whakaari by his experiences in an Auckland-based theatre company called Statement Theatre alongside Nathaniel Lees, and provoked into action through an opportunity from artist Darcy Nicholas who was running the Wellington Arts Centre that was funded at the time by the Department of Labour.
The Depot Theatre (that became Taki Rua) nurtured a philosophy to foster New Zealand work which also influenced Te Ohu Whakaari.
One of the Te Ohu Whakaari posters from 1986 is held in the collection of Te Papa Tongarewa and promotes a national tour (poster designed by Chris McBride).
Members of Te Ohu Whakaari included Maringikura Campbell, Himiona Grace, Michael Grace, Apirana Taylor, Riwia Brown, Donna McLeod and Briar Grace-Smith.

Jean Victor de Bruijn (25 November 1913 – 12 February 1979) was a Dutch district officer, soldier, explorer, ethnologist and writer.
He spent most of his life in the Dutch East Indies, especially in Dutch New Guinea, working as a colonial administrator and an ethnologist.
He gained fame for holding out with native Papuan soldiers in mountainous interior of Western New Guinea against overwhelming Japanese forces, as part of Operation Oaktree, maintaining one of the last Dutch-controlled outposts in the Dutch East Indies during World War II.
Jean Victor de Bruijn, one of a family of eight children, was bom to Dutch parents with some distant Javanese ancestry at the sugar plantation of Mertojoedan, near Magelang, in Java.
He wanted to work in the Dutch East Indies administration, which required mandatory courses in Indology, and in 1931 he registered at the University of Leiden, completing his classes in 1935.
However, owing to the Great Depression, no further appointements in the colonial administration could be made there, and he had to face two years in the Netherlands on part salary but without occupation.
In December 1937, after pursuing further studies directly at the University of Leiden, he left it with a degree of Doctor of literature and Philosophy.
From Batavia, he was appointed Assistant district officer at Saparua in the Molucca Islands, where he remained for eight month, contributing to the construction of roads in order to open up the country.
However he was very keen on going and working in New Guinea, and he had asked to be appointed there already back when he still was in the Netherlands.
The recent discovery of the Wissel Lakes in December 1936, in the mountainous interior of the island, had made him all the more eager, but the authorities thought him to be far too young for the responsible nature of the work.
Nonetheless and unexpectedly, after only ten months in the service, de Bruijn got his opportunity as the Government became soon aware of his talents.
In 1939 they sent him an urgent telegram to fly to Ambon, and from there proceed to take charge of the base at the newly discovered lakes.
By that time the base at Enarotali comprised the District Officer and a doctor, a radio operator (both Indonesians), about twenty native police, 120 Papuan coolies, as well as twenty Javanese convicts and several christian missionaries.
Most of the Dutch east indies were invaded by the Japanese in early 1942, soon followed in April 1942 by Dutch New Guinea, thus isolating the post from the coast.
Enarotali still maintained contact with Merauke, the last remaining dutch stronghold in the Dutch East Indies, and with Australia thanks to liaison seaplanes landing on the Paniai lake.
Dutch and Australian governments considered evacuating the post, but De Bruijn was determined to stay there and fight the Japanese as well as gather intelligence, in what would be called Operation Oaktree.
It was agreed that he would be sent back to the highlands, with rifles and ammunition, but that no further help could be provided for the time being, since few planes were available.
When he came back to the highlands, he found out that with the absence of authority caused by his departure, the natives had been convinced by the Japanese to report directly to their headquarters in Fakfak, occupied since April 1942.
The following month, in December, the Japanese sent two destroyers along the coast south of Enarotali, landing 450 marines at Timoeka near Kaukenau, and started to construct an airfield and a base.
De bruijn raided the local police post at Oeta and disarmed the natives who had sided with the Japanese, then withdrew to the mountains.
Owing to the sheer numerical superiority of the Japanese, De Bruijn decided on limiting himself to carrying on intelligence work about Japanese troop movements.
At the end of May 1943, the Japanese, determined to occupy the lake regions in order to deny allied planes from landing on the Lake Paniai and catch De Bruijn, turned up at the lakes, only to realize that Enarotali had been burnt to the ground by de Bruijn and his men during their retreat to safety in the surrounding valleys.
While in the valleys, thanks to papuans who had worked for the Japanese, he was able to provide precious information to the Netherlands East Indies Forces Intelligence Service about Japanese forces stationed at Ambon, Seran, Nabire and Timika.
De Bruijn kept a low profile, gathering intelligence and using air drops supplies such as ammunition and rifles, training his men on how to shoot with rifle as well as calling airstrikes on Japanese positions at Enarotali.
During early 1944, he started reinforcing his band of native papuans with rifles and military training, setting up ambushes against Japanese forces in the region, killing dozens of them.
At the same time reports started coming in, saying that more and more Japanese troops were moving toward the mountains, fleeing from their strongholds on the northern coast at Hollandia and Sarmi, which had been invaded by the Americans.
They understood that they were facing the risk of getting sandwiched between Japanese troops retreating from the north and the contingent based to the west at Enarotali.
Even though the highland lakes region was of little strategic value military speaking, it allowed the gathering of precious information on Japanese positions in the region, which would prove useful during the Western New Guinea campaign.
Above all, it was essentially a symbolical victory, as de Bruijn was portrayed as the irreducible symbol of Dutch resistance in the Dutch East Indies by allied and dutch propaganda, waving the flag and maintaining the prestige of the Dutch among the inhabitants of the area, just as Hermann Detzner had done in German New Guinea 20 years before, and who was a source of inspiration for De Bruijn.
He was personally awarded the Netherlands Cross of Merit, the Netherlands Bronze Cross and the Order of Orange-Nassau by the Queen Wilhelmina.
Following his evacuation, he stayed for some time in an Australian hospital, being treated for malnutrition, and met his wife Geertje Botma there, also Dutch, who worked as a nurse.
Thereafter he went back to New Guinea, to resume his work as the District Officer of Biak Island, between 1946 and 1950.
Between 1952 and 1962, he worked in Hollandia, working as an administrative officer and the chief of the demographic bureau, also corresponding with Mary Rockefeller about the disappearance of her son near Agats in 1961, owing to his expertise on the people and the region.
In 1963, after the annexation of West Papua by Indonesia, he left the island to work as the head of the Urbanisation Research Information Centre of the South Pacific Commission in Noumea, French Caledonia.
Eventually in 1965, he came back to the Netherlands and became the head of the Central Office of the Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam, until his retirement in 1972.
It is roughly triangular in shape and is about from east to west and from north to south, gradually rising and narrowing southwards, deeper into the continent.
These smaller lowland units are limited by residual ridges which break the generally flat relief, including the Kyundyulyun, Polousny Range, Ulakhan-Sis, Kondakov Plateau and Suor Uyata, as well as by isolated hills rising from the tundra, such as the Kisilyakh-Tas by the Alazeya.
To the north the East Siberian Lowland is bound by shallow marginal seas of the Arctic Ocean, the Laptev Sea and the East Siberian Sea.
It includes the large New Siberian Islands and the smaller Medvezhy Islands, which form a continuum with the Eastern Siberian continental lowland region.
To the west, south and southwest the lowland is limited by the East Siberian Mountains, including the Verkhoyansk Range, the Chersky Range and their foothills, as well as by the Alazeya Plateau, and to the east by the western end of the ranges of the Anadyr and the Yukaghir Highlands.
The main ones are the Yana, Indigirka and Kolyma and their tributaries, as well as the smaller Alazeya, Sundrun and Khroma rivers.
Continuous permafrost is prevalent in the East Siberian Lowlands, and permafrost-related formations such as alas thermokarst depressions and baydzharakh mounds are common throughout the region.
these date back to the time when the area was occupied by the Verkhoyansk Sea, an ancient sea which took up most of the basin of the present-day Yana River and the upper reaches of the Indigirka in the Permian period.
The total reindeer population of the East Siberian Lowland, however, is small when compared with other areas, such as the Canadian Arctic.
In the summer the wetlands are home to large populations of migratory birds, including the Siberian crane, Brent goose, Bewick's swan and the spectacled eider.
Peter Still (February 22, 1801 – January 10, 1868) was a former slave who achieved some renown by securing his own freedom in 1850 and subsequently collecting enough money to purchase the freedom of his wife and three children in 1854.
Still was born a slave to parents Sidney and Levin on a plantation owned by Saunders Griffin on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
Peter and his eldest brother Levin Jr. were sold by their owner at ages eight and six respectively, shortly after their mother had fled for a second time.
It was there that Peter met and married Lavinia (Vina) Sisson, a household slave from a nearby plantation, on June 25, 1826.
Through a verbal arrangement with his last owners, Joseph and Isaac Friedman, Peter secured his manumission for $500 in April 1850.
Shortly thereafter, Peter arrived in Philadelphia, where he serendipitously met his youngest brother William Still, then serving as a clerk at the Anti-Slavery Office.
Through his own efforts, and those of his family, friends, and supporters, Peter was eventually reunited with his wife Vina and children Peter, Levin, and Catharine, in 1854.
Great Hill Place, also known as Colaparchee, in Monroe County, Georgia west of Bolingbroke, Georgia, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
It is located about northwest of Macon, Georgia, one or two miles west of the small town of Bolingbroke, off of Georgia State Route 41.
It is about 1/2 mile off Georgia State Route 41, a short way from the intersection of Route 41 and Interstate 475.
Coordinates point to what appears to have been the dairy of the plantation complex, based on comparison of sketch map to Google satellite view.
The volcanic island Whakaari / White Island in New Zealand's northeastern Bay of Plenty region explosively erupted on 9 December 2019 at 14:11 NZDT (01:11 UTC).
Twenty-one people were killed, including two who are missing and declared dead, and a further twenty-six people suffered injuries, many of whom suffered severe burns.
The ongoing seismic and volcanic activity in the area as well as heavy rainfall, low visibility and toxic gases hampered recovery efforts over the week following the incident.
Experts identified the event as a phreatic eruption: a release of steam and volcanic gases that caused an explosion, launching rock and ash into the air.
Whakaari / White Island is an active andesite stratovolcano, situated off the north-northeast coast of the North Island of New Zealand in the Bay of Plenty.
On 24 November, two weeks prior to the eruption, a moment magnitude () 5.9 earthquake lasting approximately one minute with an epicentre located northeast of White Island occurred, and was felt by people throughout New Zealand as far south as Christchurch.
It was initially believed that there were about 100 tourists on or near to the island when the eruption took place; later, this figure was revised to 47 people who were on the island at the time.
A passenger on one of the boats stated that his vessel attempted to first outrun the ash cloud before many on the vessel noticed a crowd of people in need of help on the jetty.
Those who were brought onto the boat were aided by the original passengers who used water bottles, jackets, and other clothing, inhalers, and eye drops.
Another passenger told reporters that the boat he was on, which was about 200 metres offshore at the time of the eruption, launched an emergency inflatable and retrieved 23 people before returning to the mainland.
Noticing the eruption from the mainland shore, three commercial helicopter pilots conducted rescue missions to the island in their helicopters, bringing back twelve survivors.
The pilots reportedly attempted to return to the island to collect the bodies they had seen but were stopped by police; however, they were consulted later in order to collect the bodies once the area became more stable.
The forty-seven people on the island at the time of the eruption were identified as twenty-four Australians, nine Americans, five New Zealanders, four Germans, two Chinese, two Britons and one Malaysian.
A passenger on a rescue boat stated that many of the injured had severe burns as many of them had worn just T-shirts and shorts for the day.
At 18:35 on 9 December, media were told there was one confirmed fatality, with more likely to be dead as several were missing, while many were injured, seven critically.
It was stated that it was still too dangerous for the emergency services to get onto the island to rescue people as it is covered in ash and volcanic material.
Later the same day, officials declared that forty-seven people were on the island at the moment of the eruption: five were killed, 34 injured and rescued, while eight are missing and presumed dead.
On 14 December, it was announced that the death toll had risen to fifteen as another injured person died in hospital.
A day later, an Australian citizen who was repatriated died in hospital, bringing the death toll to sixteen, plus two victims whose bodies had not been recovered.
Another victim died from injuries in hospital, pushing the death toll to 19 including two missing people that are presumed dead.
Over the days following the initial eruption, the death toll steadily rose as bodies were recovered from the island and as several of the severely burnt victims succumbed to their injuries.
The fatalities were identified as thirteen Australian tourists, three Americans and two New Zealand men who worked as guides for White Island Tours.
Another victim, an American woman, succumbed to her injuries on 22 December, raising the confirmed death toll to 17 and the number of the American fatalities to four.
An Australian man and an American man died of their injuries in January 2020, while the two missing people are officialy declared as dead, bringing the death toll to twenty-one.
Due to the severe injuries sustained by those on the island, identification of the deceased was carried out by a variety of individuals including a pathologist, a forensic dentist, and a fingerprint officer.
This work was also aided by officers creating a profile on the victims, which included descriptions of appearance, clothing, photos, fingerprints, medical and dental records, and DNA samples.
On 10 December, the Ministry of Health announced that twenty-five people had been transferred to the country's four burns units in Auckland (Middlemore), Hamilton, Lower Hutt and Christchurch, all of which were at capacity.
On 11 December, it was reported that New Zealand had ordered of skin from the United States and Australia to treat patients following the eruption, some of whom have burns on up to 95% of their bodies.
Thirteen injured Australians were airlifted to Australia from the night of 11 December to receive treatment in hospitals in Sydney and Melbourne.
Three RAAF planes, a C-130J-30 Super Hercules and two C-17 Globemasters, flew to Christchurch with specialist aircrew and medical equipment on board.
Due to the eruption, those who were confirmed deceased by rescuers were left on the island in favour of those who were still living.
Without bodies to physically confirm the individuals' identities many were listed as missing instead of deceased until the body was formally recovered.
On 15 December authorities confirmed that the bodies of two victims had yet to be recovered and may have been swept into the sea.
Directly after the eruption, the volcanic alert level for the island was raised to 4, but was decreased by 16:30 on the same day to level 3.
Volcanic tremor increased in the aftermath of the eruption, with small scale gas jetting and steam bursts observed on 13 December, however, the volcanic tremor level dropped that evening.
All those injured and killed in the eruption, regardless of nationality, would be covered by ACC, New Zealand's no-fault accident compensation scheme.
The ACC act generally prevents claims for damages for negligence acts in New Zealand, but it may be possible for the cruise ship passengers to sue in American courts under United States maritime law.
New Zealand Police launched an investigation into the disaster, in conjunction with WorkSafe New Zealand (the country's workplace health and safety regulator).
The local member of Parliament; Anne Tolley stated that the town was shattered by the disaster and their thoughts were with the victims and their families but did not rule out that the tours would end due to the disaster occurring.
The 1974 Grambling Tigers football team represented Grambling State University as a member of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) during the 1974 NCAA Division II football season.

The Etymological Dictionary of the Altaic Languages contains 2800 etymologies, among which half were newly developed by the team over 10 years.
The authors attempt to explain Turko-Mongolian shared words through loanwords from the 13th century as well as Turkic and Mongolic languages having a common ancestor.
The dictionary views Altaic as extending to the 5th millenium B.C., and consisting of 3 groups - Turko-Mongolic, Mongol-Tungusic, and Korean-Japanese, using lexostatistical evidence to justify it.
The Etymological Dictionary of the Altaic Languages, although aimed at providing further proof for the existence of the Altaic language family, received criticism from other linguists.
It has been criticized for missing small details and requirements in its comparisons, and that the dictionary would have to need more evaluation by Stefan Georg, which Starostin responded to.
Nelson's research has been focused on metropolitan development policy and planning, applied demographic and economic analysis, fiscal impact assessment, public facility planning and finance, growth management/smart growth, urban development/redevelopment analysis and policy, real estate development policy, suburban and exurban development patterns, and economic development.
Nelson is a fellow of the American Institute of Certified Planners, a fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences and a fellow of the Growth and Infrastructure Consortium.
While a consultant in planning and development along the West Coast, he continued his education at Portland State University, completing the Master of Urban Studies in Public Administration in 1976 and the Ph.D. in Urban Studies with concentrations in regional planning and regional science in 1984.
In 1985, he joined the University of New Orleans as assistant professor of urban and public affairs where, in 1986, he founded the Division of Urban Research and Policy Studies Research and was founding director of the university's undergraduate minor in urban studies and served as adjunct professor of social work at Southern University at New Orleans.
In 1987, Nelson joined the Georgia Institute of Technology as Associate Professor of City Planning and in 1988 became jointly appointed as Associate Professor of Public Policy.
In 1992, he was promoted to Full Professor in the College of Architecture and the Ivan College of Liberal Arts at Georgia Tech.
In 2002, as adjunct professor of law at Georgia State University, Nelson co-founded a dual planning and law degree program between the master of city and regional planning degree at Georgia Tech and the juris doctor (JD) degree at Georgia State University.
In 2002, Nelson left Georgia Tech to join the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University as a Professor of Urban Affairs and Planning.
There he founded the Urban Affairs and Planning Program at the Alexandria Center and served as its director until 2006 when he became the Co-Director of Metropolitan Institute at Virginia Tech.
There he founded the Master of Real Estate Development program, the doctoral program in Metropolitan Planning, Policy and Design, and the Metropolitan Research Center.
In 2014, he became Presidential Professor Emeritus at the University of Utah and was appointed Professor of Urban Planning and Real Estate Development at the University of Arizona.
From 2014 to 2016, he was the Associate Dean of Research and Discovery for the College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture at Arizona.
In 2016 he was extended an additional appointment as Professor of Geography, Development and Environment in the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
Nelson is widely known for his work in several fields such as growth management/smart growth, suburban/exurban analysis, applied demographic and economic analysis to understand the future of metropolitan development patterns, and the theory and practice of development mitigation.
It explains growth management at the local, county, regional, and state levels, including an overall theory of growth management to mitigate externalities associated with underpriced infrastructure, conflicting land uses, and tax policies that subsidize urban sprawl.
While some have argued that exurbia exists because exurbanites have different housing and location preferences than suburbanites, Nelson's research has shown that exurbia is nothing more than the suburbanization of the suburbs.
With James C. Nicholas and Julian Conrad Juergensmeyer, Nelson has advanced the application of proportionate share impact fees to mitigate the adverse effects of development on public facilities.
One of his key findings is that by the middle 2000s there were already more homes on large suburban lots than the market may need by the middle 2020s.
According to Ellen Dunham-Jones, Nelson shows that for most metropolitan areas, perhaps all new development needs can be met on existing parking lots and existing low density/intensity developed sites.

Henry Keney Pomroy (August 14, 1854 – December 22, 1925) was an American financier who served as president of the New York Stock Exchange.
He was the eldest child of Daniel Pomroy of Coventry, Connecticut and his wife, Fanny Belden, of Simsbury, a descendant of Horace Belden.
After his father died when he was just twelve years old, his mother, brother and sisters moved to Stamford, Connecticut before Henry attended boarding school at Mount Carmel and in Ossining, New York before studying at the Columbia School of Mines for one year.
After spending some time in Europe with his family, in 1875 he joined his uncle, A. Hamilton Pomroy, a dealer in commercial paper.
He was vice president for three terms, from May 1901 to May 1904, followed by three terms as President from 1904 to 1907.
At the time of his death, Pomroy was a special partner with the firm of J. W. Davis & Co., and previously was a partner with his brother Arthur in a firm known as Pomroy Brothers.
The Pomroy's had a home known as Duneside near Georgica Pond in Wainscott, a hamlet in the southwest corner of Easthampton, New York.
His estate was valued at $2,310,178, of which $2,183,422 was bequeathed to his sister, Mrs. Josephine Belden (née Pomroy) Hendrick, and $15,000 in cash to his brother, A. Arthur Pomroy.
Appointed Principal of Hart Hall, Oxford in 1710, he refounded Hart Hall as Hertford College, his statutes being accepted in 1739 and the charter granted in 1740, and remained Principal of Hertford College until his death in 1753.
He was educated at Westminster School, being admitted in 1690, and at Christ Church, Oxford, matriculating on 16 June 1694, graduating B.A.
Despite a complaint in 1743 that he had not been resident in Sudborough for more than twenty years, he did not vacate the living until 1748.
On the recommendation of Henry Aldrich, Dean of Christ Church, Newton was appointed Principal of Hart Hall, installed on 28 July 1710.
He was also tutor to Lord Pelham's two sons, Thomas (the future Duke of Newcastle) and Henry Pelham, both future Prime Ministers.
Henry Pelham is said to have maintained an affection for both his college and his tutor, though he did not use his influence to their advantage.
Another of Newton's students at Hertford was George Augustus Selwyn, the politician and wit, who was rusticated in 1745 (he unregistered to avoid expulsion) for an irreverent joke that was deemed insulting to Christianity.
He desired that it should be established as a college, and that poor students should be trained in it for the ministry on very moderate terms of payment.
Newton built, at a cost of nearly £1,500, one-fourth part of a large quadrangle, consisting of a chapel, consecrated by John Potter, then Bishop of Oxford, on 25 November 1716, and an angle, containing fifteen single rooms; purchased the adjoining property at a cost of £160 more, and endowed the new institution with an annuity of £53 6s.
The other buildings, which were intended to comprise a library, hall, principal's lodgings, and further rooms for the students, were never erected, mainly through his disappointment in his expectations of assistance from the wealthy among his former pupils, and especially from the Pelhams.
Hart Hall had long paid a small quit-rent to Exeter College, and some of the college fellows, led by John Conybeare (Rector of Exeter College from 1730, then Dean of Christ Church from 1733), opposed its incorporation.
The Attorney General advised against the claim of Exeter College, the proposed rules and statutes were confirmed by King George II on 3 November 1739, the charter was granted on 27 August 1740, and Newton became the first principal of Hertford College.
Newton's statutes for Hertford College were strict, and aimed at economy and efficiency of supervision over the undergraduates by the tutors.
He believed in disputations, and insisted on English composition, but not on poetry, except in the case of the pupils ‘having a genius’ for it.
There are frequent sneers in the ‘Terræ Filius’ of Nicholas Amhurst and the pamphlets of the period at his economical system of living.
Newton married firstly Catherine, daughter of Andrew Adams of Welton, Northamptonshire, by whom he had one daughter, Jane, who married the Rev.
He married secondly Mary, daughter of Sir Willoughby Hickman of Gainsborough, by Ann, daughter of Sir Stephen Anderson, and by her had no issue.

Theo Willem Jan Marie Janssen (August 13, 1936 – September 29, 2017) was a Dutch physicist and Full Professor of Theoretical Physics in Radboud University Nijmegen.
He finished his PhD thesis, Crystallographic Groups in Space and Time, in 1968, thereby providing the theoretical basis of what would become the superspace approach.
Together with Aloysio Janner he was one of the founders of the higher dimensional superspace approach in crystal structure analysis for the description of quasiperiodic crystals and modulated structures.
For this work he received in 1998 the Gregori Aminoff Prize of the Royal Swedish Academy of Science (with P.M. de Wolff and A.G.M.
Janner) and in 2014 the The Ewald prize of the International Union of Crystallography (with Janner) (2014), the most prestigious prizes in crystallography.

When it comes to symbolism in archaeology, artifacts found may display iconography with these abstract symbols or tell us more about the people who made them through their construction.
Symbolism is not limited to only inanimate objects but can be found in the actions or being of living things as well.
The Philippines, comprising more than 7,000 islands, is an archipelago where symbols of the past and present contribute to its unique culture.
These symbols are influenced by and noticeable in burial practices, rituals, social status, architecture, agriculture, and The Philippines' place in the Austronesian world.
For archaeologists, burials of all types can give more information about how the deceased was living causing them to be important when looking at a culture.
Wilhelm Solheim, an American anthropologist has stated that burial jars can tell an archaeologist three things in particular: the relation of groups due to the jar’s design as well as the way they were positioned and the items that are associated with these burials.
Jar burials are a neolithic feature that included different sizing that denotes primary or secondary burial type and can be found in open spaces and caves alike.
The Manunggul Jar is a type of secondary burial meaning that the body had been moved after an initial burial which can be ceremonial.
The scrolls that adorn the upper section of this pottery are made of hematite and resemble the waves that these early Filipinos would have been sailing on.
The very top of the jar's lid is decorated with two figures in a boat sailing into the afterlife with one in the back end of the boat rowing and the other with its arms crossed looking out into the distance.
The significance of the figure with its arms crossed is that this representative of arm arrangement in primary burials in the Philippines.
Mausoleums require regular maintenance and therefore are only affordable to wealthier individuals such as businessmen, merchants, political officials, and other elites.
Therefore, it is uncommon for mausoleums to be decorated with imagery of religious affiliations, family names, and other symbols that depict cultural identity.
On the contrary, lower-class individuals unable to pay for a burial site end up being placed aside in bags along with others who are also unable to.
Ritual practices in the Philippines contain a kind of symbolic meaning that is passed down through generations through continuous participation which can include inanimate objects to represent a higher power or be caused by an event in their daily lives.
Rituals such as those that take place in Ifugao transpire underneath homes or in granaries year-round for reasons such as marriage, prestige feasting, or death.
The number of animals that were sacrificed during these rituals was a symbol of wealth and power in these communities as just to have these animals was a large expense, thus making a household's ability to sacrifice more than one for any ritual during the year to be a clear sign of significant wealth and social status.
The reason that these rituals occur is based on the perceived benefits that come with these events such as a good harvest, good health, hunting success, and overall protection from negative forces.
Pigs are one of the most common animal to be used for animal rituals, usually in celebration of the conclusion of a good year or of a good seasonal harvest.
Animal rituals are only able to be sponsored by rice producers, therefore, characterizing the group of Filipinos able to harvest wet-rice as the wealthy social class.
The number of pigs, or animals, used in a feast is directly indicative of the power and helps the sponsor gain prestige.
Three examples in which animal rituals are a symbol of closure or initiation of a new micro-era are: Fiestas, Media Noche, and Noche Buena.
Fiestas, the more common example, are thrown for the conclusion of a good season or at the start a new project.
Noche Buena, has a religious symbol attached to it because the animal ritual occurs in Celebration of the birth of Jesus on the night of December 24th.
There are rules to animal rituals, a noteworthy rule symbolizing purity stem from the commonly accepted condition that wild animals are considered inappropriate to sacrifice.
There is archeological evidence of agricultural symbols because there is a larger amount of pig skeletal remains dating to after the arrival of the Spanish to the Philippines.
Also, there was a flip in the correlation of low-land wet-rice grounds to the Ifugao rice terraces supported by the proper dating of such terraces by an estimate, product of the Bayesian method.
In other words, since the arrival of the Spanish, association of lack of wealth with the highland taro and potato fields, switched to an association of wealth with the rice terraces formed in the highlands to create distance between the Spanish and the Ifugao wet-rice elite.
Colonialism influenced agriculture through the economy and social prestige, but there are still living religious traditions of colonialism in present day Philippines.
The Peñafrancia Festival in the Naga City, Bicol, Philippines, is a fiesta carried out every year in September, where mostly men participate in an attempt at physically touching the wooden religious figure of Our Lady of Peñafrancia (the Virgin Mary) for good luck and health.
There is an adopted symbolism of athleticism and strength attributed to men that stemmed from the Spanish culture, because the mission to come in physical contact with the wooden religious figure is one in which men crowd surf and work with each other.
Gendered fiestas and patrilineal traditions in the Philippines did not dominate in pre-Spanish contact Philippines because wet-rice lands had previously been inherited through the use of bilateral con-sanguine kinship system.
Despite the usual use of an inanimate object to represent an idea, a person's skin color was a symbol of your social status and directly correlated with wealth; due to the caste system implemented by Spanish Colonialism.
Mid 20th century the American anthropologist Henry Otley Beyer, during his assignment to the Philippines, produced the Beyer's Waves of Migration Theory.
The Austronesian world extends from Madagascar on the West to Polynesia in the East, then Taiwan and Micronesia to the North.
This geographical location is joined by the theory that a proto-language existed and unified all of these countries and territories not attatched to any mainland continent.
Across the Austronesian world, and mostly to the west of the Philippines, tattoos were a common for of incorporating symbolism to solidify a cultural, traditional, or religious belief.
Most tribes used a form of needle or heated piece of iron, but the Isneg of Apayao has a unique instrument called the Igihisi.
Despte the fact that Lapita (red Slip) pottery does not stem from Kalanay cpottery, they share similar form and elements of design.
Ornaments found between the Neolithic and Metal Age regardless of whether they were locally or non-locally produced point to advancements in technologies and cultures.
Although jade ornaments found from the Neolithic period are not local resources from the Philippines, discovery of jade ornaments in Tabon Caves suggests development of culture and technology since it implies early trade with China and Taiwan.
Aside from trading relationships being formed, early Filipinos learned to produce similar ornaments made out of jade using metal-drill techniques leading to cultural advancements.
Due to jade being an exported good and less accessible, it was considered a prestigious good and therefore associated with high-status and considered a symbol of the wearer's beauty.
While shell ornaments are abundant in Tabon Caves, they were considered less valuable in comparison to exotic goods because of their local availability.
In both cases they highlight the importance of wealth and power in maintaining hierarchies that give chiefdoms and government the ability to control communities.
Wealth and higher social status in chiefdoms can be achieved through the ability to host massive feasts for the community with prestigious foods, such as meats.
The community would offer prestigious items to chiefdoms as a form of ritual and therefore prestige came from having the most valuable resources to oneself.
As such, there was a link to a prestige goods economy where chiefdoms could control who has access to certain resources.
These types of trading systems can be traced back to past forest hunter-gatherer relationships with coastal people that also predate colonial influences.
Manila was established as the capital of the Philippines under colonial government rule and was meant to symbolize a set towards modernization.
With modernization of the Philippines arose idea of capitals being a symbol of progress and the way other cities should be.
There are also attempts to propose an image of national identity and unity based on the buildings and monuments that are erected in public spaces.
However, there lacks mention of the ways in which government exerts their power and control by dictating where and how people live.
As a result, capitals such as Manila are heavily influenced by colonial ideologies and continue to affect the way Philippine communities live and the narratives about their past.

The Benin-Burkina Faso border is 386 km (240 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Togo in the southwest to the tripoint with Niger in the northeast.
The border starts at the Togolese tripoint, then proceeds briefly overland in a north-western direction, before reaching the Pendjari River, which it then follows for some distance.
In 1851 a treaty of friendship was signed between France and the Kingdom of Dahomey in what is now southern Benin, followed by the creation of a protectorate in Porto Novo in 1863.
The 1880s saw an intense competition between the European powers for territories in Africa, a process known as the Scramble for Africa; the process culminated in the Berlin Conference of 1884, in which the European nations concerned agreed upon their respective territorial claims and the rules of engagements going forward.
As a result of this France gained control the upper valley of the Niger River (roughly equivalent to the areas of modern Mali and Niger).
France began occupying the area of modern Mali (then often referred to as French Sudan) and Burkina Faso (then called Upper Volta) during the 1880s-90s.
This region was organised as Upper Senegal and Niger; various French decrees delimited a border between this colony and Dahomey during the period 1901-14.
The colony of Upper Volta (modern Burkina Faso) was constituted in March 1919; the colony was abolished in 1932 and its territory divided between what Niger and Ivory Coast, but it was then reconstituted within its previous borders in 1947.
As the movement for decolonisation grew in the post-Second World War era, France gradually granted more political rights and representation for its African territories, culminating in the granting of broad internal autonomy to each colony in 1958 within the framework of the French Community.
Dahomey declared full independence on 1 August 1960, followed shortly thereafter by Upper Volta on 5 August, and their mutual frontier became an international boundary between two sovereign states.
Parts of the border remained contested on the ground, with several incidents in the disputed areas of Koalou and Niorgou sparking tension in the 2000s.
As a result, the two countries signed an agreement in May 2009 which created a small neutral zone in the area, pending a final decision on the matter by the International Court of Justice.
In recent years the boundary region had been affected by the ongoing Islamist insurgency in the Sahel, predominantly on the Burkinabe side of the border.

Alternaria leaf spot or Alternaria leaf blight are a group of fungal diseases in plants, that have a variety of hosts.
When certain crops such as cauliflower and broccoli are infected, the heads deteriorate and there is a complete loss of marketability.
Germination occurs most quickly at temperatures between 21 and 28 C. The presence of moisture as water or a high relative humidity (at least 95%) is required for germination.
After germination, the pathogen begins to infect the host via penetration of the leaf surface using an appressorium and infection peg.
Both of these survival structures develop best at low temperature (3 C) and they have been found to be resistant to desiccation and freezing.
If there are no pathogens present, they cannot produce microsclerotia and chlamydospores that would eventually be input into the surrounding area via plant debris, reducing chances of future infection.
It is also recommended to irrigate in the morning when leaves can dry quickly, and to orient rows according to the wind.
Application of straw mulch can reduce disease incidence by acting as a barrier against soil-borne inoculum, disrupting dispersal of conidia from conidiophores developed from microsclerotia and chlamydospores.
Maintaining control of cruciferous weeds is another important management practice, as this removes potential hosts for the pathogen that can aid in the spread of the disease.

Its proponents claim the use of activated charcoal on a regular basis will detoxify and cleanse the body as well as boost one's energy and brighten the skin.
Charcoal, when ingested, will adsorb vitamins and nutrients as well as prescription medications present in the gastrointestinal tract which can make it dangerous to use unless directed by a medical doctor.
Activated charcoal, also known as activated carbon is commonly produced from high carbon source materials such as wood or coconut husk.
It is made by treating the source material with either a combination of heat and pressure, or with a strong acid or base followed by carbonization to make it highly porous.
It has a large number of industrial uses including methane and hydrogen storage, air purification, decaffeination, gold purification, metal extraction, water purification, medicine, sewage treatment and air filters in gas masks and respirators.
Once these have been absorbed by the body the charcoal will no longer be able to adsorb them so early intervention is desirable.
Charcoal is not an effective treatment for alcohol, metals or elemental poisons such as lithium or arsenic as it will only adsorb certain chemicals and molecules.
It is usually administered by a nasogastric tube into the stomach as the thick slurry required for maximum adsorption is very difficult to swallow.
Since then, it has become a popular additive to many different types of foods and drinks including juices, lemonades, coffee, pastries, ice cream, burgers, pizzas and pet food.
The City of New York has banned activated charcoal in food products unless approval for their use is granted from the FDA.
Activated charcoal, excluding products designed for emergency medical interventions, is available in many pharmacies, wellness and health food stores in tablet, capsule and powder forms.
Proponents of charcoal detoxes claim that it will cleanse the body by aiding in the removal of excess toxins that the body is unable to get rid of by itself.
Other claims made include that the use of activated charcoal provides anti-ageing benefits, will increase your energy, brighten your skin, decrease wind and bloating and aid weight loss.
Charcoal is also used as an alternative to whitening products in toothpastes but was found to not be as effective in whitening the teeth as regular products such as hydrogen peroxide.
With 147 sworn law enforcement officers it is the sixth largest police department within Pennsylvania behind forces in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Erie and Harrisburg.
It was founded in 1956 at the initiative of Captain Hernando Pote Gutiérrez, who had withdrawn from the company Avianca due to disagreements with the head of the company, Martín del Corral.
Captain Gutierrez wanted to create a passenger company and compete with Avianca by acquiring the first aircraft, two DC-3 for passenger transports, HK-166 and HK-766, belonging to a company called Tacata.
The first and only regular route that Arca managed to operate was Bogotá-Cúcuta for a value of 42 pesos per ticket.
Under pressure from Avianca, Lloyd and Taxader, the Special Administrative Unit of Civil Aeronautics (SAUCA) cancelled Arca's passenger routes in the 1960s; Then, it had no choice but to operate only cargo from La Vanguardia Airport.
At the beginning of the 1970s, some of the DC-3s were sold to Aerosucre, Laos and Alianza, all of them cargo operators at the La Vanguardia Airport, while the permit to start operating the route was processed before the SAUCA Charge to Miami.
In 1973, SAUCA authorized Arca the cargo operation to Miami International Airport from Bogotá, this was done on an intermediate scale in Barranquilla in the newly acquired Douglas DC-6B, HK-1332.
Arca was part of the Big Four airlines of Colombia at that time and was highly considered among other airlines, at that point in the mid-70s it was the peak of its success.
In 1975, Arca entered the jet era by leasing a Boeing 707-120F, HK-1773, with a wide cargo door to transport flowers and perishable products between Bogotá and Miami, mainly, a route that had been approved by the SAUCA.
This rare Boeing 707 belonged to the Swiss cargo company Phoenix, which retained some emblems during its short operation in Arca.
In 1977 the company achieved sufficient financial capacity to acquire its first Douglas DC-8-43 registered as HK-1854, through Alitalia, to increase cargo operations between Bogotá and Miami.
This would be the first DC-8 operated in Colombia; In addition, he introduced the new image of the following Arca aircraft, preserving the colors of the Italian airline.
Other cities were included in cargo operations from Miami, such as Cali, Cartagena, Medellín, Barranquilla, San Andrés and Bucaramanga, when there was demand.
Thanks to the acquisition of these new DC-8, with more load capacity, the kind of cargo brought from Miami began to vary.
By the beginning of 1982, the second Douglas DC-8-50F arrived with a wide cargo door, HK-2667-X, previously operated by Japan Airlines, which is why it was known among Arca's crew as Japanese.
The itinerary of the Arca flights with flowers and other perishable items, at that time, was scheduled to leave Bogotá at dawn to arrive in Miami very early in the morning.
In mid-1982, Douglas DC-8 HK-2587-X suffered an accident arriving at Cali from Miami, leaving the runway due to a hydraulic failure and loss of nosewheel steering, a factor aggravated by the wet runway.
In the early eighties, the arrival from Miami at Olaya Herrera Airport, Medellín was sometimes considered a feat of the pilots.
Sometimes, after landing, the aircraft's tires deflated on the platform because of a safety valve that overheated due to the intensive braking that was needed to stop the aircraft.
Which definitely slowed down all flights at Olaya Herrera Airport and made the mechanics jobs much easier if no flights are going out.
During the 1980s, Arca initiated operating agreements with the cargo airline, Ecuador Andes, thus the Douglas DC-8 HK-2667X was transferred to it, and shared flights were initiated to the Quito International Airport from Miami and Colombia.
His representative, Luis Baldión, said at the public hearing that the request was presented that the entity supported the initiative that tends to make tourism an industry.
Dozens of Colombians in Miami joined their voice to call to break the monopoly and lower air fares between the United States and Colombia.
In the Colombia la Grande radio program, broadcast by WRHC Cadena Azul, calls were received from the public to support Arca, who also sent his signatures of support to the head of the SAUCA at that time, José Joaquín Palacio Campuzano.. Days after studying the petition, the SAUCA denied Arca the approval of these routes.
The decision adopted was based on the recommendation of the Higher Aeronautical Council, which considered it inconvenient for the company, to operate cargo, to move passengers, in particular on the most important routes for the country.
After knowing the refusal of the SAUCA, Captain Gutierrez founded the airline in Venezuela and taking advantage of the bilateral agreement within the framework of the Andean Pact, he began operating with passenger routes between different cities of Colombia and Miami via Maracaibo with DC equipment- 8 and Boeing 727 at really cheaper prices.
In 1992, one of the last Douglas DC-8-50F operated by the airline, the N5842A, was acquired on leasing, which was completely white.
The decade of the nineties would mark a crisis not only for Arca, but for all Colombian freight airlines, because of several circumstances that combined against the airline industry in the country.
During the following years it was increasingly difficult to continue loading operations; FAA pressure became increasingly rigorous while the tough competition of international freight airlines made the operation less profitable.
The director of the entity, Abel Enrique Jiménez, and the head of the Office of Control and Security, Captain Germán Duarte, said that in the process of inspection (or search for recertification), they had to paralyze the operation they had been carrying out the aircraft of the company, because they did not meet the requirements to fly to the United States.
So the company was under fire for having not completed the inspection on aircraft and the financial status of the company.
The immobilization of each DC-8 represented for the company a 50% decrease in its revenues and that since the beginning of 1996 the SAUCA was lowered by the FAA to category two, for not exercising an adequate inspection on the airlines.
According to the FAA, Arca made a series of flights on the Douglas DC-8-55F, the N5824A, between June 1992 and August 1993 without a necessary ventilation system for the main cargo door within a stipulated period.
However, he doesn't realize that he's attracted to Kaede and that the reason for Kaede's playfulness around him may be because he returns those feelings.
The series was originally published as a trilogy of short stories from the July 2008 issue to the September 2008 issue.

The baroque arrangement by Lanfranco, places the figures along a diagonal in the canvas and grants a realistic solidity to the characters, focusing the attention on Margaret's psychic state and not only her overpowering miraculous vision.
The painting was commissioned in 1622 by Nicolo Gerolamo Venuti, whose coat of arms is at the lower left, and decorated at the main altar for the church of Santa Maria Nuova in Cortona.
It was purchased for the palace by Prince Ferdinand de' Medici, who provided to the church a replacement canvas on the same subject by Giuseppe Maria Crespi.

His teaching and research work was undertaken through positions at the University of Melbourne, CSIRO and the National Museum of Victoria (now Melbourne Museum).
His mother died when he was seven months old and he was first cared for by his aunt, then later was placed under the guardianship of a Quaker solicitor.
He won a scholarship to Leominster Grammar School, where he thrived as a scholar and athlete, becoming a school prefect as a senior.
Baker found work on reaching Melbourne almost immediately, being selected as a junior assistant at the University of Melbourne's Geology School in April 1925.
Through the encouragement and patronage of Ernest Willington Skeats, he was permitted to attend lectures and was subsequently admitted to a Bachelor of Science.
While the button-like presentation of many australites fuelled early conjecture about their human-made origins, scientific analysis established these objects are formed from the molten, terrestrial debris ejected during meteorite impacts.
Baker was recognised for the quality of his research work by the University of Melbourne through award of the David Syme Research Prize in 1944, and was conferred the degree of Doctor of Science (DSc) by the university in 1956.
Maintaining his base at the University's Geology School, Baker accepted the role of research officer with CSIRO's mineragraphic section, later promoted to of senior principal research scientist by the time of his retirement in 1968.
Baker was a fellow of the Mineralogical Society of America and the Meteoritical Society, a life member of the American Geophysical Union, the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Royal Society of Victoria, and a foundation member of the Geological Society of Australia.
George Baker was the inaugural recipient of the Royal Society of Victoria's Medal for Excellence in Scientific Research, awarded in 1959 on the centenary of the Society's formal foundation.
George Baker died in Melbourne on 25 August 1975, leaving his extensive collection of 2,500 Victorian tektites to the National Museum of Victoria and a portrait painted by Melbourne artist Orlando Dutton to the Royal Society of Victoria.

However she continued the collaboration with the printed paper and her socialist acquaintances; in particular, she collaborated with the Bietti publishing house, publishing a small Italian grammar book for German-speaking students and translating from German fairy tales and stories by Hans Christian Andersen.
Some years after Paolo's death in Milan in 1941, Rina ended up moving to Pavia with her daughter Rosa, going to join her other daughter, .
Rina worked with great commitment within the Ferrarese socialist leadership group, which needed a woman to organize the female component of the labor movement, and showed immediately that she had talent and charisma.
Beginning in 1897, in the Ferrara countryside, an impressive wave of strikes had begun which lasted until 1902 and which, despite harsh repression, led tens of thousands of laborers and boars to abstain from work.
The strikes highlighted the need to tackle the agrarian question, namely the seasonal chronic unemployment of the laborers and the unsustainability of the ancient relations between masters and settlers, which were gradually being replaced by new relations between wage laborers.
The harsh repression, with arrests, trials and convictions, did not prevent wages from being raised thanks to those struggles and the commitment to draw up new colonial contracts, written for the first time.
For this reason, Melli is particularly committed to union activity aimed at women workers, setting up leagues and organizing socialist circles, often dedicated to Anna Kuliscioff, whom she met.
From February 1901, the Ferrara peasant movement undertook an extraordinary organizational and political growth that had no equal in any other Italian province.
The aim is to educate women workers (especially agricultural workers) in politics through the newspaper, using simple language that is also accessible to those who did not have high levels of education, in order to accelerate the growth of the socialist movement.
Since then, it has been developing its own movements based on ETA calibers with expired patent rights and has managed to become one of the main movement manufacturer of the Swiss watchmaking industry.

With the world’s largest production of cacao and cashew nuts, Côte d’Ivoire is one of the leading economic powers in West Africa.
From its independence from France, Côte d’Ivoire developed a relatively stable and prosperous economy centred on the production and export of commodities such as cacao and coffee, and a network of clientelistic relations.
Côte d'Ivoire's first President, Félix Houphouët-Boigny, developed an economic system founded on the extraction and redistribution of agricultural rents, mainly coming from the cocoa-coffee industry.
Nevertheless, the 1970's global monetary shocks and the drop in value of basic commodities in international markets induced the Ivorian government to borrow extensively.
Côte d'Ivoire's growing problem with foreign deficit eventually led to the intervention of France, and later on the IMF, to stabilize the economy.
In the 1990's, with the encouragement of the IMF, Côte d'Ivoire implemented nationwide monetary and macroeconomic reforms targeting clientelistic networks and reducing the role of the state in the economy.
However, in 2000, following the controversial election of Laurent Gbagbo, a civil war split the country between the Muslim rebel-held North and the Government controlled Christian South, leading to large-scale violence and instability.
Gbagbo’s refusal to leave power triggered post-elections violence, but with Ouattara’s mandates, Côte d'Ivoire went back to relative political and economic stability.
The Ivorian economy indeed expanded by an average of 8% since the end of the political crisis in 2011, making Côte d’Ivoire one of the fastest growing economies in West Africa.
Côte d’Ivoire is in the CFA Franc Zone, a former French colonial monetary zone created in 1939, which now gathers 14 Sub-Saharan countries using the CFA Franc.
As a result of decolonization, the CFA was further reformed with the creation of two monetary zones and their respective Central Banks, which got to control 35% of the reserves while 65% remained in the French Treasury.
Indeed, the CFA arrangements enabled French authorities to directly finance external deficits and impose some soft disinflationary adjustments, which dissuaded former colonies to go toward the IMF’s harsher lending conditions.
As a result of the drop in value of agricultural products in international markets in the late 1970’s, the indebtedness that resulted from monetary shocks, and the failure of the cacao war, Ivorian authorities agreed with the IMF on a first program of structural adjustment in 1981.
Scholars have argued that at the time Côte d’Ivoire was lacking the legal institutions necessary to enable the switch from a national monopoly to a neoliberal system fully opened to international multinationals.
The structural changes affected former interest structures, and the ending of the state's protection of domestic industries made small-scale peasants vulnerable to international competition.
The resulting social instability participated in triggering the nationwide movement of peasants’ riots and demonstrations that spread across the country in 2004.
The IMF’s structural adjustment programs in Côte d’Ivoire have involved privatization waves, including the privatization of the cacao industry, Côte d’Ivoire’s top export industry.
The EFF provides assistance to countries experiencing payments imbalances because of structural impediments or a slow growth and a weak balance of payments position.
The three-year ECF/EFF arrangements in Côte d'Ivoire were first approved by the IMF Executive Board in December 2016 with a total access of SDR 650.4 million, equivalent to 100 percent of Côte d’Ivoire’s quota.
In June 2019, the IMF’s Executive Board completed its fifth reviews under the ECF/EFF arrangements, and agreed to the immediate disbursement of additional SDR 96.786 million, bringing current disbursements to SDR 553.6 million.
In Côte d'Ivoire, the ECF/EFF arrangements consist mainly in macroeconomic policies and structural reforms aiming to increase tax revenue mobilization in order to address infrastructure needs and reduce budget deficit.
They also include fiscal reforms aimed at consolidating Côte d’Ivoire’s banking sector and making its business climate more inclusive for private investment.
In October 2019, the IMF staff completed a mission to evaluate Côte d'Ivoire's current economic climate and completion of IMF programs.
The report emphasized the resilience and strength of the Ivorian economy in the last few years, despite a deteriorating external environment.
It evaluated the performance of Ivorian authorities under IMF-supported programs and highlighted that Côte d’Ivoire met all performance criteria for end-June 2019, and all but one of the structural benchmarks on public finance management, public enterprise monitoring, and tax policy and administration.
The report acknowledged Côte d'Ivoire's encouraging position regarding the reduction of its budget deficit to 3.0% of GDP, as well as efforts to restructure the public sector and diversify exports.
Moreover, it confirmed the one-year program expansion of fiscal policy measures to 2020 in order for Côte d’Ivoire to meet the 3.0 percent of GDP deficit objective.
It also formalized the IMF's agreement with national authorities to continue domestic revenue mobilization efforts and the implementation of policies to create space to finance the National Development Program (2016 - 2020), a national development plan aimed at consolidating Côte d'Ivoire's industrial sector and reduce poverty.
Over the past 41 years that this partnership has existed, the Maldives has garnered $295 million in support spread throughout 32 projects.
Although the Maldives does not possess a significant amount of land or a large population, there are still many areas that need attention to ensure the safety of citizens and tourists, and the efficiency of the economy.
Most tourists are naive to the threat of terrorism in the country due to the rise of Authoritarianism, Religious conflicts, and domestic conflicts.
The resort based islands tend to be safe areas for tourists, but rising Terrorism concerns can have severe effects on the Maldives Economy as it is heavily influenced by tourism.
The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami is a prime example of this risk and the effects it can have on the country.
Many World Bank projects have focused on this threat including the Maldives Environmental management Project (2008), Sustainable Fisheries Resource Development Project (2017), and Maldives Clean Environment Project (2017).
Currently the World Bank strategy for assistance in the Maldives revolves around three core objectives: promoting economic opportunities, building resilience to climate change, and strengthening Fiscal sustainability.
The most recent World Bank project in the Maldives, approved on July 1, 2019, involves increasing budget capability, strengthening policy framework, and preventing harmful effects of natural disasters and climate change.
This table displays a list of the most important projects that have previously taken place, or are currently active in the Maldives ranging from commitments of $13.15 million to $20 million.
The World Bank has also played a significant role in assisting the Maldives to increase foreign trade and speed up development.
Additionally the Maldives has seen a reduction in the fiscal deficit, thanks to the Ministry of Finance, and more sustainability projects.
New projects are expected to be introduced in the coming years as the partnership between the World Bank and the Maldives continues to thrive.

By 1830 there were enough families there to form a vibrant and close-knit Irish community that desired its own place of worship.
Most of the future parishioners of St. John's worked across theriver in the brownstone quarries of Portland and the owners of the quarries donated large blocks of brownstone to help build the first church.
Since St. John's was built back in 1843 and the Diocese of Norwich was not created until August 06, 1953 by Pope Pius XII the Church is the oldest Church in the Diocese (as it actually pre-dated it) and is lovingly known as the Mother Church of the Diocese.
The imposing 1843 Irish influenced ecclesiastical Gothic Revival church building was designed by architect, Patrick Charles Keely and it was built by local Irish immigrants that were led by prominent local builder Barzialli Sage.
The original church that was completed in 1843 was just a small church building and the existing spire for the Church was erected in 1864.
The interior walls of the Church were frescoed by William Borgett, a local artist and there have been several interior renovations over the years.
The convent is no longer in use and it is believed that the building was bulldozed but the location of the convent is unknown.

Rabbi David Altschuler of Prague (1687-1769), also known as Baal haMetzudot, was a Jewish Bible commentator, author of a classic commentary to Nevi'im and Ketuvim in the Hebrew Bible.
David's son Yechiel Hillel Altschuler also served as rabbi of Yavoriv, and finished his father's great work, and traveled extensively in Europe in order to publish and spread it.
David published the commentary as one work, but Yechiel divided it into two works: Metzudat David which explains the meaning of the verses, and Metzudat Tzion which explains individual words and phrases.
In time the Metzudot became one of the basic commentaries on Nach, printed in most editions of the Hebrew Bible with commentators.

, the country has no outstanding balance with the IMF, as the country is pulling away from what they claim as foreign control of their economy.
With the overthrow of the mining elite, who dominated political life in Bolivia, the new government had the task of reorganizing the economy, in turn they decided to create an economy that is fair, therefore increased spending on public programs, plus nationalized key industries, like mining, and oil.
This generated growth in the economy, as commodities like tin, were paid well and were necessary for the creation of finished goods in other states, therefore frequent customers.
High government spending and an influx of foreign capital as well as actual growth, allowed the Bolivian economy to have impressive growth rates.
By 1974, there was a surplus of 8.5% in GPD, mismanagement of growth by failing to re-invest in the economy caused future problems for the state.
As the economy is not strong enough to fund these programs, the government turns to foreign loans from banks and public institutions.
A decline in tax collection and the accumulation of foreign loans forced the state to find alternate ways to finance the deficit.
The government responded by printing large sums of money to finance the deficit, which led to high levels of inflation; by 1985 the inflation was around 11,750 percent.
This is turn creates more problems, as citizens are unwilling to hold to the Bolivian Peso due to instability of its value.
Bolivian banks begin to pay out in dollars, as citizens feared the peso was worthless as its value fluctuated with an unpredictable market.
The government was no longer in direct control of the country's currency, in order to slow down inflation, the government attempts to devalue the Peso, and imposes Dollarization programs to buy back the foreign capital and replace it with pesos.
After the Bolivian government expelled its executive in 1978, the IMF and Bolivia began contracting a potential plan to re-stabilize the economy.
The IMF, however, pulled out, as they did not believe that the government was strong enough to enforce the changes needed to revitalize the economy.
With a deteriorating economy, high debt, and high inflation, the Bolivian state had no choice but to turn to the IMF.
Under the Structural Adjustment Facility (SAF), the IMF approved a deal on June 19, 1986 that aimed to help stabilize Bolivia's economy.
Along with many other nations, Bolivia participated in the Brady Plan restructuring agreements of the 1980s, utilizing dollar denominated bond conversion mechanisms to resolve its debt crisis.
Apart from repaying the $96,800,000 loan, Bolivia was asked to reduce government spending, liberalize the economy by opening up trade, raise exports and reduce imports, and regain control of the inflation.
Bolivia was more or less successful in the implementation of most programs, even went as far as declaring a state of siege in order to keep control of the economy when opposition became strong.
Through this time frame, the IMF continued to lend large amounts of money to the Bolivian state, through the General Resources account as well as through the Poverty Reduction Trust, that lends only to the poorest member states of the IMF.
These loans were used to stabilize the Bolivian economy by providing much-needed capital to repay private loans, as well as revamp crucial economic practices.
From 1985 to 1999, the IMF had lent Bolivia around $458,093,000 SDR in combined general loans, and through the Poverty Reduction Trust.
Poor indebted states like Bolivia have struggled to balance their payments due to a high number of loans, both private and public.
The need to keep good credit to access new loans, to pay back old loans makes a cycle that keeps these states indebted.
In 1996 the IMF and World Bank created the HIPC Initiative (Heavily Indebted Poor Countries), that aimed to lower the high debts acquired by the poorest states in the world.
The conditions to obtaining such debt relief are similar to IMF conditions of loans, the state must continue to work at bettering its balance of payments and regulating inflation.
By 1990 IMF programs had successfully reduced 12 month inflation to 18%, by 1997 the government had reduced inflation to 7%.
The IMF continued to regularly provide analyses evaluating the performance of Bolivia's domestic financial institutions, including in its domestic bank restructuring and reforming pension schemes.
The programs by the IMF and the Bolivian government affected a large portion of Bolivia's poor, in order to better conditions, the government planned to increase spending on education, health care, improve the efficiency of governmental programs, and better the education system by paying teachers based on their merit, to increase the quality of instructors.
Opening up trade networks to other states also left small Bolivian companies at a disadvantage where people were let go do to foreign competitors, leading to unemployment.
In this time period, the IMF disbursed around $139,536,500 SDR in loans, aimed to continue the progress created by previous programs.
The strategy was to continue to reduce inflation, reduce poverty by increasing spending in social programs, privatize all remaining government-owned companies, decrease participation in the informal economy, and better governmental institutions such as the judiciary branch.
A big problem of the 1980s was that Bolivia simply had no foreign currency to repay debts, spiraling them into further debt, the IMF looked to stop this from happening again.
Reforming the Tax system was another goal of the Bolivian government, modernizing the tax system to improve the liberalization of domestic markets was crucial to continue repaying back lefty loans as well as keeping up with spending on social programs.
An important feature was phasing out the financial transaction taxes that affected business transactions in Bolivia, as well as increase the efficiency of the tax collection system.
Although inflation and positive growth was standard throughout most of the 1990s through the early 2000s, overall IMF policy did not lead to a complete turn of the Bolivian economy.
The Bolivian government remained inefficient and unwilling to impose unpopular reforms; the government also struggled with corruption and political interference by the people and opposition to the reforms.
The IMF also failed to force the state to implement all proposed programs, as well as increase government productivity by forcing the state to implement legislation that would improve efficiency.
The IMF's failures of forcing the state to comply with previously agreed programs reached peaks starting 2001 through 2004, where a large number of points in the performance criteria were not met, compared to the previous years where most if not all reach minimum satisfactory remarks.
The Bolivian economy stops it's 4% growth trend and begins to contract, by 1999 growth in GDP was reduced to .4%.
In December 2005, Bolivia was one of 19 countries to receive 100% debt relief as a consequence of the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative.
With the aid from this initiative, the Bolivian government paid off its loans to the IMF through repurchases and repayments between 2005 and 2007.
No new arrangements have been made with the IMF since 2005, Bolivia however continued its battle with reducing poverty as well as balance out the economy.
Without the IMF's support, Bolivia's GDP and Foreign revenues have grown steadily, GDP has grown consistently at around 4.8% from 2004 to 2017.
Growth however, has not been supported by a similar programs prescribed by the IMF, instead the state has once again nationalized key industries and kept up with social spending to improve the lives of its citizens, in turn reducing extreme poverty.
The IMF continues to evaluate the Bolivian economy's economic performance, citing its hydrocarbon and mining export performance as responsible for growth economic growth and fiscal revenue.
Discontentment with austerity measures and privatization has resulted in protests that have been met with the use of state emergency measures.
In 2000, large waves of protests erupted from rural Bolivians over public sector cutbacks, a decline in per capita income, and a rising rates of unemployment.
With the election of Evo Morales to the Bolivian Presidency in 2006, the Bolivian government pursued economic growth and financial stability with the intent to reduce its relationships to international lending institutions, specifically the IMF and World Bank.

The previous season had seen manager John Smith quit only two matches into the league programme for a new job outside football.
But the Dundalk board that had taken control of the club in the summer of 1973 had already exhausted its available funding, and McLaughlin had been obliged to see what could be salvaged of the season with Smith's squad.
Going into the new season, he retained the players who had impressed, and signed a number of players who had been on the fringe at their clubs or were coming from non-League sides – reflecting the limited budget he was operating under.
The league schedule got under way on 5 October 1975, and saw a number of formerly successful clubs, such as Waterford, Cork Celtic and Cork Hibernians, all bring in fading stars from England – Bobby Charlton, George Best, Geoff Hurst and Rodney Marsh – in a bid to entice back the support they had lost as their fortunes had ebbed.
Meanwhile Dundalk, needing no circus acts, were soon in a two-way tussle with Finn Harps at the top of the table.
Struggling for goals early on, the signing of Terry Flanagan from Bohemians in November, after what would be their only defeat of the season, allowed them to press on.
A 2–0 victory in a top of the table clash away to Finn Harps in February, in which Flanagan scored both goals, saw Dundalk go clear in the table.
They were knocked out in the first round of the FAI Cup a week later, but they dropped only two points in the League subsequently, before clinching the title by beating Cork Hibernians at home in front of a packed Oriel Park with a game to spare.

In 2016, Stiller opened the Taian Table concept in a small space on Tai'an Road in Shanghai, which received a Michelin star 5 months after opening.
During the preparation for a Bocuse d'Or press conference in 2009, which would be held at his Shanghai restaurant Stiller's, he discovered that there was no candidate for China in the Asia-Pacific regional selection.

In it, Gedgaudas talks about his theory that the Balts, or Lithuanians, inhabited the entirety of Europe, and that the Goths were actually a Baltic people.
It is considered a pseudohistoric work, and the linguist Zigmas Zinkevičius classifies Gedgaudas, Jurate Rosales and Aleksandras Račkus as being in the same school of thought.
Gedgaudas accepted the authenticity of the works of the historian Hinnibaldus on the Franks in the 5th century, who said that the Trojan War happened in 1179 B.C.
Gedgaudas, upon seeing in the names of Frankish kings an indication of their closeness to the Baltic peoples, identified the Franks with the Cimmerians (although the original text is lost, there is a partial copy, including a summary of the works of Johannes Trithemius).
He defended the theory that the Hyperborean gods in Greco-Roman mythology (Apollo, the Muses, Latvia, Thetis, Diana, Ganymede Proteus, Ceres, and Ares) had Baltic origins.

The Latin root of the word stems from iris, presumably as many of both of the monocot genera are renowned for their bright yellow flowers.
Its most notable characteristics are its yellow flowers, its twisting stems, and the wavy margins found on the bracts of its inflorescence.
The blade is 1 mm broad and thick; its base sheathing being 4-6 cm long; and the main stalk, coming from the roots, is between 15 and 55 cm long.
The flower head is broader towards the top, almost forming a globe, the lateral sepals are turned inwards and rough in texture.
This includes, but is not limited to Western button grass moorland,sparse button grass moorland on slopes, pure button grass moorland and button grass moorland with emergent shrubs.

The Carlyle-Blakey Farm, in Barrow County, Georgia near Winder, Georgia, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
It is notable as the site of a prominent agricultural reform demonstration in 1948, which addressed a huge problem in Georgia agriculture.
An extreme example was the development of what became known as the Providence Canyon, from growth of a farm gully into a 150-foot-deep canyon, even becoming a state park.
The farm is notable for the unusual event on May 12, 1948:when the farm (then 168 acres) was chosen as the site of a Master Conservation Field Day.
Sponsored by the Oconee River Soil Conservation District, The Atlanta Journal, and the Civic Clubs of Winder, this massive one-day effort involving hundreds of men and machines transformed the badly eroded and depleted farm into a model of efficient and productive land management.
The fence lines and re-configured demarcations for cropland, pasture, woodland, house lots, and ponds are all still starkly evident on aerial views today.
The terracing from 1948 can be seen on the ground in several of the fields on the western half of the property.
Most of the buildings and structures are clustered near the road and the 1.75-acre pond in the northeast quadrant of the property.
These include the Blakey's mid-20th-century house (non-contributing due to major alterations), two barns, two sheds, a chicken house, a creek-side baptismal pool, and a small pump house.
A metal utility barn/equipment shed is the sole building that was constructed during the conservation field day, and is therefore the only contributing resource other than the site itself.
It is located at 568 GA 211 NW, on the west side of Thompson Hill Road (Highway 211), 568 Georgia State Highway 211, Northwest, about northwest of Winder.

Abū Rāfiʿ (Arabic: بو رافِع) (d. after 40/660-1) is a famous companion of Muhammad) and his servant who later was freed and became the head of the clan of Al Abi Rafi'.
When Abu Rafi' told the Prophet (s) that al-'Abbas embraced Islam, the Prophet (s) freed him as a reward of his good news.
He was among the Muslims who immigrated to Abyssinia (Ethiopia) under the leadership of Ja'far ibn Abu Talib to get away from the hostility of pagans of Quraysh.
It's commonly believed that Abu Rafi' not only did not immigrate with the Prophet to Medina, but also stayed there until the Battle of Badr after which he joined the Prophet (s) in Medina.
After that he entered Medina, the Prophet (s) married him to his female slave –Salma- and 'Ubayd Allah was born from them.
When Mu'awiya from Syria and Talha and Zubayr from Basra rose up against Ali Ibn Talib caliphate, Abu Rafi' said that the Prophet had already foretold him this incident and said that Ali Ibn Talib is right and his opponents are wrong.
When he was 85, he sold his house and his lands in Khaybar and Medina and immigrated along with Ali Ibn Talib to Kufa.
In Kufa, he was appointed by Ali Ibn Talib as the treasurer of the treasury of Kufa and his two sons –'Ali and 'Ubayd Allah- started working as Imam's (s) scribes.
According to a narration, Abu Rafi' was alive in the time of Al-Hasan's caliphate and returned to Medina along with Imam al-Hasan after the martyrdom of Ali Ibn Talib.
Because Abu Rafi' had sold his land and house in Medina; when he returned to Medina, Imam al-Hasan (a) gave him a half of Imam 'Ali's house and a piece of land located on outskirts of Medina.
But according to a narration ,quoted by al-Najashi, he had relations with Hasan Ibn Ali and returned to Medina with him so he was alive after the martyrdom of Imam 'Ali (a) and lived more than 90 years.

Between the 1940s until the 1960s, Nesbitt actively led a career as a fashion illustrator for leading magazines and newspapers including Harpers Bazaar, Mademoiselle, and the New York Times Magazine.
Nesbitt worked closely with Anibal Ambert and Merle English at Xerox Corporation and the company sponsored her art research from 1970 until 1972.
Her work is featured in various public art museum and library collections including, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Brooklyn Museum, Archives of American Art, National Museum of American History, Digital Public Library of America, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Frances Neady collection at Fashion Institute of Technology, among others.
Her death was recorded on audiotape during Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) surveillance on Zein Isa due to his association with Abu Nidal Organization (ANO).
He and his wife were both convicted for first-degree murder and sentenced to death; the husband died of disease before he could be executed, and the wife was later resentenced to life imprisonment and died in custody.
The youngest of seven siblings, she lived in a southern portion of the City of St. Louis in an apartment complex, and while in St. Louis was a student at Dewey Junior High School, and Roosevelt High School.
He first lived in the south of Brazil and met Maria Matias (born August 10, 1943), a native of Mato Grosso who had been born in Santa Catarina, while on a business trip to Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso.
They moved to Raleigh, North Carolina in fall 1963, then to Paterson, New Jersey, Areceibo, Puerto Rico, back to Rondonópolis, then to Cáceres, Mato Grosso; Tina was born in the state during this period.
Isa's ambitions were to become a pilot after taking aeronautical engineering courses; she intended to do this at Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology, an institution of St. Louis University.
When her family learned that she, since January 1989, was engaged in a romantic relationship with a 20-year-old African-American man, the father became very angry with her.
Prior to the death, Zein made telephone calls stating that Tina had damaged the honor of his family and needed to die.
On the day of her death, she worked her first day at a Wendy's fast food restaurant; the family also disagreed with the idea of her not working for the family.
Initially, her parents criticized her for having the outside job and later stated a belief that she was doing something else instead of working.
Her mother had her buried in a bridal gown, stating that unmarried girls and women in Brazil who die are buried as such.
The family intentionally did not provide a notice of the funeral to a newspaper and ensured that only people from the family, the local Palestinian community and people from Beitin appeared at the funeral, and they expressly did not want Tina's boyfriend to attend.
A crucial factor in his trial was the fact that the FBI had bugged Zein's house on a FISA order in connection with his suspected terrorist activities, and as such, had recorded Tina's murder on an audio cassette.
This was especially important in confirming the fact that Maria was an active participant in the murder, and that Zein's claim of self-defense against Tina was false.
Zein had accused Tina of asking for $5,000 and for grabbing a knife before he did, and Isa's lawyers stated that she kicked him in the leg, which they stated had previously sustained injuries, and that she also had a meat cleaver as a weapon.
FBI officials stated that several of Isa's statements before the killing were empty threats, and that this is why the agency took no action before Tina died.
On April 1, 1993, Zein was indicted by the FBI in connection with his terrorist activities within the Abu Nidal Organization, and the federal prosecutors issuing the indictment accused Zein of killing Tina partly because he feared she could expose his ANO activities.
Zein was to be sent to Potosi Correctional Center in Potosi, Missouri while Maria was to be sent to the Jefferson City, Missouri-area Renz prison.
Maria's death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment without parole; she died on April 30, 2014, in a Vandalia, Missouri, prison at the age of 70 from apparent natural causes.

At midday on December 13, 2009, Steven Koecher (born November 1, 1979) got out of his car, parked at the end of a cul-de-sac in the Anthem neighborhood of Henderson, Nevada, United States, an action recorded on a nearby home's security camera.
After returning shortly afterwards, he retrieved something from the vehicle and walked away, with another security camera capturing his reflection in a car window.
Koecher's absence from his home, work, and church activities in St. George, Utah, was not noted for several days; eventually, the homeowners' association of Anthem, where he had parked, got in touch with his employer and then his parents about the abandoned car and he was reported missing.
Police had few leads at first since it appeared he had intended to return to St. George and did not appear to be involved in any criminal activities.
The reason for his trip to the Las Vegas area that day has never been determined; his family believes he was looking for work since he could not make the full rent payments on his apartment with the job he had.
Further investigation found credit card and cell phone receipts and witness statements showing that in the week prior to his disappearance, Koecher had been driving great distances around Utah and Nevada, including almost in one day.
The purpose of these trips is also unknown; on one he stopped to visit a former girlfriend's parents and had lunch at their house.
Josh Powell, a West Valley City man suspected of murder in his wife Susan's disappearance a week before Koecher's, argued along with his father and brother that the two cases were related, suggesting the two were romantically involved and ran off together.
After graduating from Amarillo High School in 1998, Koecher, a devout Mormon, attended first Ricks College (now Brigham Young University–Idaho) and later the University of Utah, where he received a degree in communications.
He remained there for another year and a half, with some articles he worked on receiving awards from the Utah Press Association.
The many temperature inversions in the Salt Lake City area that winter also bothered him, so after a year he decided to leave his job at the newspaper and relocate to St. George, in the warmer southwestern portion of the state.
It did not provide him with enough income to meet his expenses, and by November 2009 he was several months behind on his rent.
Greg Webb, the singles' ward president, claims the local electric utility was threatening to terminate Koecher's service for nonpayment, although his mother says that would have been the landlord's responsibility.
On December 10, 2009, Koecher apparently left St. George in the early morning hours and drove his 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier north on Interstate 15 to Salt Lake City, where he bought some gas with a debit card.
He then traveled west on Interstate 80 another to West Wendover, Nevada, where he again pulled off the highway to refuel.
Koecher had in the past dated Annemarie Neff and visited the ranch; he told her parents, who had not been expecting him, that he thought he would stop in to see her.
He told them he was on his way to visit family in Sacramento, California, but was not certain whether he could continue in that direction due to bad weather.
After two hours he left, and decided to return to St. George the way he had come, stopping to buy gas again in Salt Lake City and Springville, followed by dinner at a Nephi Taco Time.
The next day, while handing out flyers for his employer, Koecher encountered two young girls who had inadvertently been locked out of their family's apartment.
When she did not answer, he looked for someone in the neighborhood who could take them in temporarily, until someone arrived who could let them in.
The bishop was also trying to help him, and had promised Koecher he would have a job available by the beginning of 2010.
In the evening he bought gas and snacks at a convenience store in Mesquite, Nevada, along I-15 just over the Arizona state line.
Why Koecher went to Nevada that day is unknown; three hours after his Mesquite purchase Koecher bought a baby's bib and cookies, believed to be Christmas gifts for his brother and his family, whose names he had drawn in the family's annual Christmas gift exchange, at a Kmart outside St. George.
A neighbor of Koecher's recalled seeing him return to his apartment around 10 p.m. A half-hour later, he left again; while he was not seen to return later that night it was possible he could have.
The next morning, December 13, Webb called Koecher, saying he was on his way back from Las Vegas and feared he might not make it to St. George in time for the 11 a.m. service, asking if Koecher could lead it in his absence.
Another ward member called again later that morning with a similar request, which they dropped when Koecher told them where he was.
Neither he nor Webb asked Koecher why he had gone to the Las Vegas area that morning; they found nothing unusual about their conversations with him.
At 11:54 a.m., a home security camera on Savannah Springs Avenue in Sun City, a retirement community in the Anthem development in southern Henderson, records Koecher's Cavalier driving past it to the cul-de-sac where it was later found.
Six minutes later, a figure that seems to be Koecher (his family believes it is him), wearing a white shirt and slacks, walks the opposite direction down the sidewalk in front, carrying something in one hand that appears to be a file folder or portfolio.
Around 5 p.m. that day it pinged a tower at the intersection of Arroyo Grande Boulevard and American Pacific Drive, more than northeast of where he had parked.
Two hours after that, it pinged another tower near Henderson's Whitney Ranch subdivision, two miles (3.2 km) north of the previous ping.
The phone remained in that tower's vicinity for the next two days, suggesting that its battery died, and there has been no activity since.
A day after that last ping, Sun City's homeowners' association parking enforcement took note of the car at the end of the Savannah Springs cul-de-sac and tried to find its owner.
Through the windows they saw one of the flyers Koecher had been distributing for the window-washing company in St. George and called the number on it.
Later they called his mother; she returned their call on December 17, and, realizing no one else in the family had talked to him in a week and unable to locate him, reported him missing.
At one point, when employees at an International House of Pancakes told them that a man fitting Koecher's description had eaten there for three weeks straight, they themselves ate there for four nights.
Another employee eventually gave them a more detailed description of the man and his eating habits, which led the Koechers to conclude he was not Steven.
A local dairy put Koecher's picture on a milk carton, and the LVMPD put a video with information on the case on its YouTube channel.
In April 2010, another party of searchers scoured the open desert south of the Henderson Executive Airport to the west of where Koecher had parked in response to a tip passed along to a former LVMPD officer working as a private investigator for the family.
Members of the WebSleuths Internet forum also took up the case; they assembled a timeline of events in the case based on newspaper accounts and social media posts by family and friends.
In 2015, a local search and rescue group organized another effort, this time going high up the hills south of Anthem, on a different theory of what Koecher might have been doing.
Koecher's family believes, given his financial circumstances at the time, that Steven had gone to Henderson that morning for a job opportunity.
Despite the odd location where he parked his car, on the video the neatly dressed Koecher is walking purposefully, suggesting he knew where he was going and what he was going there for.
Koecher's difficulties notwithstanding, his family does not believe he chose to voluntarily disappear in order to escape them, or take his own life.
Deanne Koecher said that in her last conversation with him, on December 10, he was optimistic about his ability to find another job and the two were making plans for his Christmas visit home.
Rolf Koecher said that it was in working order and the gas tank was half full when he reached it on December 17 after the Sun City parking authority called his wife about the car.
In the car were the Christmas presents Steven had bought for his brother and his family at KMart the previous day, as well as job applications and the flyers from his employer that had helped the parking authority find his parents.
Koecher's unusual, and mostly unexplained, travel in the days leading up to his disappearance has led to suppositions that he may have turned to some sort of illicit activity for income.
Another vehicle seen on the security camera footage driving up and down the street around the time Koecher parked and walked away from his car was investigated, and turned out to be a local real estate agent showing a house in the area.
A single charge to his credit card since the disappearance was just an automatic charge made to webhosting company GoDaddy ensuing from his days at Matchbin.
One unknown phone number turned out to be the family of the two girls Koecher had been helping get back inside on the day before he went to Las Vegas.
Koecher kept a diary, but recorded no problems in his life at the time of his disappearance beyond his monetary issues and his ongoing bachelorhood, neither of which he believed would last much longer.
One of his reasons for moving to St. George was to research family history in that area; he often went on tours of cemeteries looking for ancestors' graves.
While there is no evidence that would suggest Koecher was killed or kidnapped, neither the St. George nor Henderson police have found any evidence to eliminate that possibility.
Koecher disappeared a week after Susan Powell was reported missing from her home in the Salt Lake City suburb of West Valley City.
The latter case received much more media attention as suspicion centered on her husband, Josh, with whom she had been having marital difficulties.
The night after a neighbor last saw her in the family home, her husband had left after midnight to take the couple's two sons camping in Tooele County.
Police officers who came to investigate the next morning after Susan did not drop her sons off at daycare forced entry into the house and found two fans blowing at a wet spot on the carpet.
Early in the Koecher investigation, tips were posted to the Internet and brought to the family's attention suggesting a connection between the two disappearances.
In 2010, Josh Powell's family began making those allegations publicly, claiming on a website they had set up to find Susan that she had, with her family's help, framed her husband for murder and escaped with Koecher.
Josh Powell moved to Washington, where he died along with his sons in a 2012 murder-suicide; his father, who had been convicted of child pornography and voyeurism after, among other things, explicit pictures he had secretly taken of Susan were found on his computer, died in 2018, a year after finishing his sentence.
Located at 12 Aviles Street in St. Augustine, Florida, the building currently known as the Segui-Kirby Smith House still stands as a Research Library for the Saint Augustine Historical Society.
Housed in one of the oldest standing colonial buildings in Florida, the St. Augustine Free Public Library was once the residence of British Captain, Henry Skinner in 1769 as well as Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith in 1887.
St. Francis Inn property owner John L. Wilson and his wife Francis contributed to the formation of the public library system in St. Augustine after they purchased the Segui-Kirby Smith building on Aviles Street.
They helped form the St. Augustine Library Association and gave the building to a private organization to be used as a free public library, where it remained from 1874 until the 1980s.
When the St. Augustine Library Association was first formed on April 25th, 1874, no books of sectarian or political nature were to be purchased, but would be accepted if they were donated.
Today, St. Augustine Historical Research Library is still open to the public at no cost, however, much of the material are one of a kind and rare and, therefore, must be used within the library.
Ocean Wind is a proposed utility-scale offshore wind farm to be located on the Outer Continental Shelf approximately off the coast of Atlantic City, New Jersey.
It will be the largest producer of wind power in New Jersey and largest offshore wind farm in the United States.
Two other projects which would provide wind power to New Jersey are Garden State Offshore Energy, Offshore Delaware in WEA OC-A 482 North opposite Rehoboth Beach, also by Ørsted US Offshore Wind, and Atlantic Shores Wind Farm in Offshore New Jersey WEA OCS-A 0499 -- off the coast of Jersey Shore (mostly opposite Ocean County from Atlantic City north to Barnegat Light) by EDF Renewables/Shell.
Another potential WEA is Offshore New Jersey/New York on the west/south side of Hudson Canyon 21 miles offshore opposite Monmouth County.
Ørsted U.S. Offshore Wind is also partnering with Tradepoint Atlantic, based in Port of Baltimore, to create a 50-acre staging center for on-land assembly, storage and loading out into deep waters for projects along the East Coast.
In September 2019, Ocean Wind, with the approval of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, secured the capacity interconnection rights to bring the power generated by the wind farm on-shore at Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station in Lacey Township, a 619-megawatt nuclear power plant which was shut down in September 2018.

The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) is a UK-based independent body which monitors member NGOs (Non-Governmental organisation) and companies’ supply chains in accordance with an ethical code.
The organisation was founded on 9 June 1998, with the intention of changing the lives of workers in companies’ supply chains.
The subsequent formation of the ETI was backed therefore by NGOs, UK businesses, and the then UK Secretary of State for International Development, Clare Short.
For example, working hours and no child labour are measurable and quantifiable aims, whereas freedom of association does not factor in the unmonitorable atmosphere and culture that may prevent someone from feeling free to join any such association.
There is also difficulty in implementing the living wages point, due to factors outside of companies such as rising costs of housing, fuel and schooling that decrease the workers’ wages.
There is also an economic theory that points out that by increasing the paid wage, in accordance to the perceived living wage can eventually decrease the ‘take home’ wage.
This is because the pay increase means that the costs of goods will have to increase to cover the higher labour costs.
Therefore the consumers (who include the ones making the goods) will have to pay more from their new ‘living wage’, decreasing how much they have left to live with.
They often work with other governments to ensure adequate funding and also to lobby for legislative changes, if found to be necessary.
This came after the UK Environmental Audit Committee’s inquiry into the fashion industry, recommended that the retailer engaged with USDAW in a bid to repair their damaged reputation.
The committee also suggested becoming a member of the ETI which would bind the retailer into ethical practices, including paying a living wage and protecting workers' freedom of association.
This follows revelation that workers in their Burnley warehouse were being paid £3.50 per hour, a fraction of the legal £8.21.
In March 2016, NGOs Banana Link and the International Union of Food workers (IUF) complained to the initiative about the supplier not  respecting their workers’ right to freedom of association; disallowing and not recognising the trade unions some workers chose to associate with.
During this period Fyffes were encouraged by the ETI to reform their practices in line with the code; specifically to allow their farmers in Honduras to join trade unions at their discretion.
The agreement states that they would reinstate sacked union members, while also raising wages and conditions for their workers, thus supported by STAS.
A group of academics in 2016 condemned a United Nations convention banning child labour as promoting a particularly Western view of childhood as innocent and labour-free.
They argue that paid work may be the means by which a child will feed their family or fund their siblings' or their own schooling.
They argue that banning child labour, without effective actions against the large-scale poverty that necessitates it, can be futile or counterproductive.
These operations are illegal and unregulated, so the employers can pay much less and often have harsher conditions, pushing other children into work to supplement the lost wages.
Abdoli’s agenda for her brand is to challenge the government, but more importantly, to allow Iranian women to express themselves through fashion.
This law had been established by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who was the leader of the Basij Militia; the Militia enforced this dress code all over Iran, arresting anyone who would refuse to wear the legally required dress.
During her four years of education, Abdoli also worked as a freelance graphic designer; working with techniques such as processing, design and working with graphic applications.
Abdoli begun a fashion career at IED Barcelona where she studied a short course in Fashion/Apparel Design which lasted less than a year (2014).
Abdoli and Vojoodi brought out their 2013 Spring/Summer collection, which brought the attention of news agencies such as newspapers in Iran, California and Germany, BBC World News, BBC Persian, Germany Radio and CNN.
For these shows she worked alongside other Iranian artists and designers including Reza Alaeddini, Hadi Qashqaei, Mohammadreza Rezania, Majid Haghighi Khoshbakht and her co-worker, Mohammad Reza Vojoodi.
POOSH-e MA’s products are made of fabrics imported from Turkey by a professional tailoring company and have stated that they maintain ideal qualities in the private factory.
Despite the success with her brand, Abdoli is one of the many Iranian fashion designers to receive criticism from the government.
This has resulted in the Iranian authorities to block certain websites and social media pages, as they wanted for women to dress plainly and not for them to be influenced by up and coming designers.
In 2013, when POOSH-e MA grew in popularity, Abdoli received a lot of skepticism from Iranian women asking if her collection was truly appropriate to wear outside.
The claim of POOSH-e Ma being ‘too provocative’ is because her models wear leggings rather than wide leg trousers, three-quarter sleeve tops rather than long sleeved tunics and tighter fitting clothes rather than loose clothing.
In 2016, the Iranian police shut down 800 shops for selling politically challenging clothing and gave a further 3,000 shops a formal warning.
In the last five years, Iran has grown drastically in terms of giving women some rights, especially in the fashion industry.
Abdoli in part of an Iranian Fashion Revolution, exploring high fashion and bringing the demand for Western fashion trends to the Middle East.
This species occurs only on some small predator-free islands in the Chatham Islands, New Zealand, where it lives in seabird burrows.
This species was first noted in 1924 by C. Lindsay, and a specimen collected on Mangere was sent to the Canterbury Museum.
Rowan Emberson of Lincoln University collected two from a petrel burrow on Mangare in 1993, and John Marris and Emberson collected others in expeditions in 1997 and 1998 to Mangere, Rangatira, and Star Keys, in burrows, and under logs and leaf litter, and with pitfall traps.
The type specimens was collected in Woolshed Bush, Rangatira Island, in February 2006 by David Clarke and M. Renner; the holotype was deposited in Lincoln University's Entomology Research Collection, and paratypes went to the Field Museum and the New Zealand Arthropod Collection.
In his description of the species, Clarke noted that it had a large trapezoidal head, pale yellowish brown behind the eyes, and asymmetrical last segment of the antennae and reduced last segment of the front foot (protarsomere).
Specimens have been collected from Mangere Island, Pitt Island, a tiny islet off the north-west coast of Pitt Island called Rabbit Island, Star Keys (14.5 km east of Pitt Island), and Rangatira Island – most collections have been from Rangatira.
It is possible the species might survive on main Chatham Island in seabird colonies with intact forest and rodent control, such as the taiko colony at Tuku Nature Reserve.
It has not been assessed under the Department of Conservation's Threatened Species Categories, let alone had a species recovery plan drawn up.

Located to the west of Aramoana ( northeast of Port Chalmers) and included as a section of the Otago Heads, Whareakeake was a place of habitation for Māori people from early times until the Sealers' War skirmish of 1817 from which it derived its colonial name.
To the west it ends at the small headland called Pilot Point; to the east, at the cliffs of the much larger Purehurehu Point.
Immediately south lie approximately of flat ground, beyond which the land rises steeply on all sides up towards Stone Hill and Hodson Hill.
Beyond Pilot Point lies Long Beach, followed by Pūrākaunui, Māpoutahi, and Blueskin Bay; beyond Purehurehu Point lie Kaikai Beach, Aramoana, Heyward Point, and the mouth of Otago Harbour.
Access to Whareakeake is by Whareakeake Road (formerly Murdering Beach Road), a steep one-lane gravel drive leading down the side of the Purehurehu Point ridge to the eastern end of the beach.
At least two archaeological sites are present: a site with moa bones well back from the shoreline, which has received very little study, and a Classic Māori site, now thoroughly excavated, extending into the sand dunes.
Among them was a settler named William Tucker, who had built a house at Whareakeake two years previously, where he ran an export business in ornamental hei-tiki (pounamu neck pendants).
At first they were welcomed, but when Tucker went into his house, the locals attacked Kelly, at the instigation of the chief Te Matahaere.
It was once thought that this was the village at Whareakeake, but it is more likely to have been Ōtākou, on the other side of the harbour.
Kelly believed it was a reprisal for previous shootings of Māori by Europeans in the ongoing state of lawless conflict known as the Sealers' War.
A later account accused Tucker of having stolen a Māori preserved head in 1811 and inaugurated the trade in these items; this is considered to be poorly evidenced.
Due to its right-hand point break, Whareakeake is one of four surf breaks of national significance in Otago – the others being at Karitāne, Papatōwai, and Spit Beach at Aramoana.

Leonard Roy Tuit or Len Tuit (1911–1976) was a pioneer in Central Australian road transport and tourism and is credited as being the first person to recognised the tourism potential of Uluru.
Tuit arrived in Alice Springs in 1932 after an eleven-day journey in a Diamond T truck and started doing contract driver work for David Baldock, primarily driving between Alice Springs and Tennant Creek, which he did for the next three years.
In 1936 Tuit established his own business after acquiring a Ford V8 transporting perishables to the remote mining communities at The Granites and Tanami.
During World War II Tuit was the major civilian transport link between Alice Springs and Birdum as well as continuing, under military supervision, to supply mining communities; now including the mica mines at Wauchope and Hatches Creek.
Following the War Tuit won a five year mail contract after proving that he could transport the mail between Alice Springs and Darwin in three days, which was faster then the Commonwealth Railways (from Birdum to Darwin).
He combined the mail run with a passenger service, in a modified K5 International and it was known as 'The Butterbox'.
The truck was very basic and was fitted with bench seats and had a canvas canopy and it would not have been an easy trip for its passengers.
Tuit's first experience with tourism was taking students from Alice Springs to Palm Valley in 1944 and, in 1950, he took the first ever tour group, from Knox Grammar School in Sydney to Uluru (within what is now the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park).
The Tuit's persisted an they were granted the first tourist lease in 1953 and, by 1955, were offering regular tours there.
These early tours could carry approximately 20 passengers and the only accommodation was tents with an ex-army marquee set up as a dining and store room.
Because of the success in the tourism side of the business, which also more suited his free spirit Tuit gave up, and sold his interest, in the transport side of the business.
Tuit and Bert Bond, another Central Australian tour operator, were fierce competitors and they each maintained an arduous schedule to attract passengers.
In 1952 the two men decided to merge their businesses and, on 16 October 1953, the Centralian Advocate reported a parting of the ways and that the businesses would once again operate separately: this was finalised by 3 December 1954.
In 1957 Tuit bought Bond out when he left the Northern Territory in 1956 and, despite not wanting to, had to partner with Pioneer Tours due to financial difficulties.
Insect Festival is a biennial series of one day events in the UK, organised by the Royal Entomological Society, to celebrate insects and entomology.
The Festivals occur in alternate years to the Society's National Insect Week and consist of interactive exhibits and displays by insect related societies, charities, artists and companies.
The event was first held in 2006 and then in 2007 at York racecourse as an 'Entomological Exhibition' together with the Amateur Entomologist's Society.
The Royal Entomological Society then organised the event and in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017 and most recently in 2019 Insect Festival has been held in and around the Hospitium building in York Museum Gardens with over 1000 visitors attending.

The Bois du Cazier Mining disaster or Marcinelle Mining disaster on August 8, 1956 was the deadliest mining accident in Belgium.
An accident began at 8:10 AM when the hoist mechanism in one of the shafts was started before the coal wagon had been completely loaded into the cage.
The moving cage also ruptured oil and air pipes which made the fire worse and destroyed much of the winch mechanism.
Among the victims, there were 136 Italians, 95 Belgians, eight Poles, six Greeks, five Germans, five Frenchmen, three Hungarians, one Englishman, one Dutchman, one Russian and one Ukrainian.
An appeal was lodged, and on January 30, 1961, the court gave the mine manager a six-month suspended jail sentence and a 2,000 Belgian franc fine (equivalent to €300 in 2006 after adjusting for inflation) and acquitted the other defendants.
Extant ancient texts provide a list of the names of 51 students who attended the law school of Beirut; these students came from twenty different Roman provinces.
Below is a list compiled by French scholar Paul Collinet; it includes the provinces and known cities from which each student originated.
Extant ancient texts provide a list of the names of 51 students who attended the law school of Beirut; these students came from twenty different Roman provinces.
In his 238 AD Panegyric to Christian scholar Origen of Alexandria, Cappadocian bishop Gregory Thaumaturgus relates taking extensive Latin and Roman law courses in Beirut.
According to Eusebius of Caesarea, Pamphilus of Caesarea was born into a rich family in Beirut in the latter half of the 3rd century and attended its law school.
Anatolius occupied the offices of consul of Syria, vicarius of the Diocese of Asia, proconsul of Constantinople, urban prefect of Constantinople in 354, and Praetorian prefect of Illyricum until his death in 360.
Libanius' correspondence with Gaianus of Tyre discusses the latter's achievements after his graduation from the law school of Beirut; Gaianus became the consular governor of Phoenicia in 362.
Triphyllius received legal training in Beirut and was criticized by his teacher Saint Spyridon for his atticism and for using legal vocabulary instead of that of the Bible.
Zacharias Rhetor studied law at Beirut between 487 and 492, then worked as a lawyer in Constantinople until his imperial contacts won him the appointment as bishop of Mytilene.
Among Rhetor's works is the biography of Severus, the last miaphysite patriarch of Antioch and one of the founders of the Syriac Orthodox Church, who had also been a law student in Beirut as of 486.
Another late 5th-century student was John Rufus, an anti-Chalcedonian priest who moved to Maiuma after the expulsion of his master, Peter the Fuller.
Ágnes Pataki, often referred to as the top model and the Hungarian supermodel, promoted not only Fabulon but also world brands such as Pepsi, Philip Morris, L'Oréal Professionnel or Semperit.
Until 1956, her father was a military officer, who, as soon as the 1956 Hungarian Revolution was broke down, became the economic leader of a research institute.
In her career, external circumstances have forced her to change several times, but she has always been able to build on her success in previous areas.
She has contributed to the making of an experimental photocopy film ‘The Copyist’ which debuted at the Palm Springs International Short-fest Animation Competition.
Two coincidences brought her to the forefront of modelling: first, when she escorted a South American group into the Rotschild Salon as a Spanish interpreter, she was noticed by the owner, Klara Rotschild, and sent her to the runways.
On the other hand, it was a coincidence in 1970, when the exam photo by Andrea Németh, a student at the College of Applied Arts was discovered by graphic designer József Finta and PR director of Kőbánya Pharmaceuticals.
Subsequently, she had become the poster child of Fabulon, a popular advertising brand for cosmetics of Kőbánya Pharmaceuticals in the 1970s and 1980s.
In the 1980s, she had worked as a model for five years in parallel, and gradually became a three-shop boutique chain businesswoman, but she changed again after the change of regime - even though she was asked to take cover photos in the 2000s, such as Elle magazine in 2003.
In 2014, she was Hungary's first It Woman in the L'Oréal Professionnel It Looks campaign, whose appearance and wear are treated as fashion bands in the media.
She and her husband, Gábor Kovács, one of the founders and directors of the joint venture Filmpartners, contributed greatly to the success of Hungarian films such as the Üvegtigris-films (see: Glass Tiger films; 2001, 2006, 2010).
Her job is to select the screenwriters, directors, projects, partners, and then help fund the foundation and build the publicity of the films on the market.
In 2003 she was listed as a producer on the list of the fifty most successful women compiled by Magyar Hírlap and in the book published in 2007.
In 2015, she was one of the five-member professional jury of the first incubator program (for the first animation, documentary or feature film) announced by the Hungarian National Film Foundation, who will select ten film plans to help develop them.
Stokhusgade originates in the 1649 plan for New Copenhagen, the large area which was included in the fortified city when the old East Rampart along present day Gothersgade was decommissioned and a new one was built in a more northerly direction.
Part of a group of streets named after minerals from Norway, then ruled from Denmark, it was originally called Stenkulsgade (Black Coal Street).
In 1862, residents in the street filed a formal request for a renaming of the street since they were unhappy about being associated with the inmates in the former correctional facility but this never happened.
In the 1930s the former prison buildings and the other buildings on that side of the street were demolished to make way for a new home for the College of Advanced Technology.
4B has by Holsher Nordberg Architects been expanded with a seven-storey residential infill on the very narrow site of just seven metres.
The building at the corner of Øster Voldgade (Stokhusgade 8 / Øster Voldgade 12) is a former tobacco factory built for Wilhelm Frimann Schram in 1850.
A plaque on the corner of Stokhusgade and ØsterVoldgade commemorates that Icelandic scholar and politician Jón Sigurðsson used to live at Øster Voldgade 12.
The 1920 United States presidential election in Colorado was held on November 2, 1920 as part of the 1920 United States presidential election.
All these factors combined to produce a national landslide, with a swing of almost twenty-nine percentage points to the Republicans vis-à-vis the election of 1916.
Colorado mirrored this trend, with a total swing of 49.38 points from Wilson’s 26-point 1916 victory where he carried every county except Sedgwick.
This time, Harding would not merely become only the second Republican victor in the state since James B. Weaver’s Populist victory transitioned the state into a Democratic-leaning one, but become the only presidential candidate in history to carry all Colorado’s counties.
Phineas D. Ballou (March 3, 1823 – January 16, 1877) was a Vermont businessman and political figure who served as mayor of the city of Burlington from 1868 to 1870.
Phineas Dodge Ballou was born in Starksboro, Vermont on March 3, 1823, a son of Smith Ballou (1786-1854) and Orissa (Bishop) Ballou.
He lived and was educated in Burlington and Starksboro, Vermont and Troy and Albany, New York before moving again to Burlington in 1849.
Ballou lived in San Francisco, California for four years during the California Gold Rush, and was a member of the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance that used extralegal means to fight rampant crime and corruption.
After several years in business with Van Namee, Ballou became a partner in a candy factory and its affiliated candy and cigar store.
Business failures during the Panic of 1873 led to his decision to leave his family in Burlington and move to Omaha, Nebraska, where he engaged in several enterprises he hoped would enable him to recover, including a partnership in a brewery.
His sons later joined him in Omaha, and in 1876 his partner and he moved their brewery from Omaha to the new and rapidly expanding town of Deadwood, Dakota Territory.
According to others on the scene, Ballou had inspected a gold mining claim and stayed overnight at a Gayville stagecoach station, intending to travel back to Deadwood the following day.
During the night, he went outdoors to relieve himself, mistook the shack covering a mineshaft opening for an outhouse, and accidentally fell about 35 feet.
Other individuals at the station heard his cries for help and rescued him from the mine, but Ballou died from his injuries soon afterwards.
At the time of his death, Ballou was wearing a Masonic ring, so he was recognized as a member by Deadwood's Masons.
He received Masonic funeral rites at the Troy home of his brother Edgar before being interred at Oakwood Cemetery in Troy.
Ballou was long affiliated with Freemasonry, including the Scottish Rite and Knights Templar, and served in leadership positions at several lodges in Burlington.
Ballou was also active in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and served as grand master of the organization in Vermont.
In 1944, the railway was merged to form the Chemins de fer du Jura (CJ), which electrified it at 1500 Volt DC in 1953.
The then Saignelégier–La Chaux-de-Fonds Railway opened its metre-gauge line from Saignelégier via Le Noirmont to La Chaux-de-Fonds-Est on 7 December 1892.
In 1904, the Régional Saignelégier–Glovelier (RSG) took over operations, creating an important connection to the Basel–Delémont–Glovelier–Porrentruy main line, which continued to France.
The neighbouring Ponts–Sagne–La Chaux-de-Fonds railway (PSC) did not have the best connections despite having the same gauge and a shared station.
Nevertheless, the Saignelégier–La Chaux-de-Fonds Railway provided PCS services after 1 July 1913 when the Jura neuchâtelois (JN) was nationalised and incorporated into the SBB.
Because unlike the SC, the TBN has been electrically operated since its opening, continuous services between La Chaux -de-Fonds-Bahn and Tavannes were limited.
The main source of income for the Saignelégier–La Chaux-de-Fonds Railway was passenger transport, although freight transport also played an important role.
After that standard gauge freight wagons were loaded on transporter wagon in Glovelier instead of Saignelégier or alternatively until 2010 in La Chaux-de-Fonds.
Although the CJ has the same electricity system as the neighbouring La Chaux-de-Fonds–Les Ponts-de-Martel railway, only a few vehicles are exchanged between the CJ and Transports Régionaux Neuchâtelois (TRN).
TRN vehicles regularly access the CJ network in order to reprofile their wheels on the underfloor lathe in the CJ Tramelan workshop.
In La Chaux-de-Fonds, the CJ and TRN catenaries can be interconnected via a coupling switch to provide power to the neighboring railway in case of emergency.
Shortly after leaving Saignelégier, passengers see the deep valley of the Doubs and behind it the high plateau of Maîche, which is in France.
Passing the small towns of Muriaux and Les Emibois, the trains reach Le Noirmont, where the line from Tavannes joins on the left.
Between La Large-Journée and La Chaux d'Abel, the railway crosses the cantonal border to reach La Ferrière in the Canton of Bern.
After passing through the crossing station of La Cibourg, the trains run along a winding stretch of line to reach the highest point of the line at Bellevue at 1072 metres above sea level.
Just before the La Chaux-de-Fonds station, the line moves off the street and the railway runs parallel to the SBB lines from Neuchâtel and Biel and the metre-gauge line from Les Ponts-de-Martel to the terminus.
The numbers 4 to 7 continued on from the locomotive numbers of the Ponts–Sagne–La Chaux-de-Fonds Railway, as the two companies had an operating arrangement.
Apparently it ordered the first locomotive to handle bad track conditions, because the operating program of the Mallet locomotives could also have been achieved this with a simpler 3/3-coupled locomotive.
In 1951 it was able to acquire steam locomotive G 3/3 6 from the Ponts-Sagne-La Chaux-de-Fonds Railway, which became redundant after the electrification of 1950.
Ciprian Mircea Manea (born 13 August 1980) is a Romanian former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper for teams such as Laminorul Roman, FCM Bacău or Politehnica Iași, among others.
Ian Johnston Rhind Aitchison (born 1936) is a physicist and retired academic who was Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford between 1996 and 2003.
Born in 1936, Aitchison read mathematics at Peterhouse, Cambridge, graduating with a BA in 1958; he then completed a PhD in theoretical physics there in 1961.
Between 1961 and 1963, Aitchison was a research associate at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York; after a year at the Saclay Nuclear Research Centre in France, he worked as a research associate at the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge from 1964 to 1966.
In 1966, he was elected a fellow of Worcester College, Oxford, and appointed a university lecturer in theoretical physics; he was awarded the title of Professor of Physics in 1996 and retired in 2003.
Thanks to the system created by the university to manage professional practices, it applies a 3 + 1 education model for Vocational Schools and 7 + 1 education for faculties.
Daniel Octavian Spiridon (born 29 March 1984) is a Romanian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder for FCM Bacău, FC Botoșani, SC Bacău and CF Brăila.
2020 Ukrainian Athletics Championships among the athletes of the senior age category will be held from 19 to 21 June in Lutsk at Avanhard Stadium.
Throughout the year, a number of standalone national championships in different events not contested in Lutsk will be held among the athletes of the senior age category.
As an amateur, he won two U.S. National Junior Championships, one U.S. National Youth Championships and represented the United States at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games at light welterweight.
During an amateur career in which he compiled a record of 283–13, Jones won multiple national championships at the junior and youth level.
He made his professional debut on March 9, 2019, winning via unanimous decision over six rounds against Girorgi Gelashvili at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.
His second fight came three months later on June 21, scoring a first-round technical knockout (TKO) victory over Michael Horabin at the York Hall in London.
Eight days after his bout with Horabin, Jones fought Matias Agustin Arriagada on June 29 at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island, winning by unanimous decision.
On October 12, 2019, as part of the undercard for Dmitry Bivol's WBA title defense against Lenin Castillo, Jones defeated Eric Manriquez by majority decision at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago.
Two judges scored the bout in favour of Jones with 40–36 and 39–37, while the third scored it a draw at 38–38.
She became director of research and development at the Naval Air Development Center in Pennsylvania, where she helped to develop light synthetic materials for use in aircraft.
As member of the Balloon Club of America, Vadala participated in 66 balloon flights, 47 flights in gas balloons and 19 flights in hot air balloons.
On July 28, 2019, Vadala was inducted into the Balloon Federation of America Hall of Fame, at the National Balloon Museum in Indianola, Iowa.
In 1957 she helped to record the orbit of the Russia's Sputnik satellite as part of the Franklin Institute's Moon Watch Team.
Her acceptance of the presidency at a time when the organization had largely fallen into disarray was important in restarting its activities.
She held positions at the Naval Air Material Center at the Philadelphia Naval Yard, which carried out materials testing and laboratory experiments, and at the Naval Air Development Center in Warminster, Pennsylvania.
One of her jobs involved testing the balloons stored in the Naval Air Facility in Lakehurst, New Jersey to ensure that they were still safe to use.
Vadala also used the Instron to test laminated light weight materials to see if they were suitable for use in aircraft.
Eleanor Vadala enjoyed her first balloon flight on January 9, 1954, a date that commemorated the first balloon flight in the Americas on January 9, 1793, by Jean-Pierre Blanchard.
Don Piccard piloted the Balloon Club of America's N9071H, a former U.S. Army balloon built by Goodyear, on its fourth flight for the BCA.
Vadala became an active member of the BCA, not only learning to fly, but also repairing the balloons, making nets for them, filling sandbags to use as weights, and driving the chase vehicles that followed the balloons after they launched.
Vadala was the third woman to receive FAA Balloon Pilot Certification, passing the written test on June 27, 1962 and the flight test on July 13, 1963.
At age 63 she married an amateur balloonist, Rittenhouse Astronomical Society member, and astronomer for the Franklin Institute, Edwin F. Bailey (1907–1986).
The Benin-Togo border is 651 km (405 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Burkina Faso in the north down to the Bight of Benin in the south.
It then proceeds overland to the southwest, veers to the southeast in the vicinity of Grando Namoni, and then turns sharply southwards in the vicinity of Gando, Benin.
The boundary then proceeds southwards in a roughly straight line, occasionally utilising rivers such as the Ogou and, in the southern-most stretches, the Mono.
In the far south the border turns sharply to the west before reaching the Atlantic Ocean, providing Benin with a thin strip of territory encompassing Grand-Popo and Hilakondji.
In 1851 a treaty of friendship was signed between France and the Kingdom of Dahomey in what is now southern Benin, followed by the creation of a protectorate in Porto Novo in 1863.
The 1880s saw an intense competition for territory in Africa by the European powers, a process known as the ‘Scramble for Africa’.
Germany began taking an interest in acquiring African colonies, signing a treaty with chiefs along the coast of modern Togo in July 1884; France recognised this claim the following year.
The southern-most section of the border was agreed upon by procès-verbal in 1887, with the rest of boundary being settled by a Franco-German protocol of July 1897.
By plebiscite, British Togoland was incorporated into the Gold Coast colony in 1956, which gained independence as Ghana the following year.
The remainder of Togolese territory remained under French control, however France had also initiated a process of decolonisation, which culminated in the granting of broad internal autonomy to its African territories in 1958 within the framework of the French Community.
French Togoland declared complete independence as Togo on 27 April 1960, followed by Dahomey on 1 August, and their mutual frontier between an international one between two independent states.
Rogers attended the University of Bristol, graduating with BSc in psychology in 1969; he then completed a PhD there in 1976.
In 1973, he was appointed to a lectureship in psychology at the University of St Andrews, where he remained until he was elected a fellow and tutor at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, in 1984.
He was appointed a stipendiary lecturer at Pembroke College, Oxford in 2001 and in 2003 was elected a fellow and tutor at the college.
There are many reasons for this claim, but the most important one is rooted in ideological beliefs and may be related to the issues of Orientalism.

The Shivers-Simpson House, also known as Rock Mill, on the west bank of the Ogeechee River in Hancock County, Georgia, near Jewell, Georgia, was built around 1820.
Its first floor is a high basement, built of Salmon-colored brick laid on one course of granite blocks, and topped by a narrow course of the same.
As of 1970, it had only been modified significantly once, back in 1890, when an original raised portico at the main entrance was removed and replaced by a second-story porch.
Jonas married in 1772, and by 1809 had migrated from Virginia to this area, and was living on the east bank of the Ogeechee River in Warren County, and was a mill owner and presumably a slave owner.
It also had a grist mill, a woolen mill, a store, a tavern, and a stage-stop and post office on the Augusta-to-Milledgeville stagecoach line.
William Shivers, the son, built a grist mill on the west side of the river, in Hancock County, and then this frame house named for the mill, before 1820.
The house is located on Mayfield Road, on the Ogeechee River north of the community of Jewell, Georgia; Jewell is at the intersection of Mayfield Road and Georgia State Route 16.

The 2019 Malta political crisis is an ongoing political and institutional crisis within the Republic of Malta following the uncovering of alleged links between government officials and the 2017 assassination of investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.
The Prime Minister's Chief of Staff Keith Schembri and Minister for Tourism Konrad Mizzi resigned following the arrest of businessman Yorgen Fenech in connection with the murder.
On 1 December 2019 Prime Minister Joseph Muscat announced his intention to resign on 12 January 2020 after increased pressure from protestors.
Constitutional experts, legal bodies and other representatives have stated Muscat's decision to remain in office until January and to have a six week parliamentary recess over Christmas has led to an unprecedented constitutional crisis.
Malta has enjoyed a financial boom since accession to the EU in 2004, fueled by online gambling, crypto-currency exchanges, the sale of citizenship (EU-citizen), and a financial centre with a reputation for lax controls on money laundering and tax evasion.
In 2018, the European Central Bank revoked the licence of a bank called Pilatus, first investigated by the journalist Caruana Galizia, after its Iranian owner was arrested on sanctions-busting charges by US prosecutors.
Among other things, Caruana Galizia wrote about gifts and money from the presidential family in Azerbaijan to Malta's Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, his wife and connections between opposition leader Adrian Delia and a prostitution ring in London.
Joseph Muscat, Prime Minister of Malta at the break out of the crisis, promised a fair investigation after the murder plot.
There was evidence that Muscat had known Fenech's role in the Caruana Galizia case since 2017, because his secret service bugged Fenech's telephone and was reading the logs.
His Kasco Holding bought paper and sold it to the printers in Malta with a good margin and expanded the business to the trade of printing machines.
Since the Times of Malta was unable to pay its bills during the financial crisis, according to the newspaper, Schembri often put pressure on them.
Mizzi was earlier removed from his post as health and energy minister in 2016 after it emerged that he had set up a company in Panama, listed in the Panama Papers.
Lawrence Cutajar was responsibel for the investigation in the assernation case of Caruana; he was commissioner of the Malta Police Force.
On 16 October 2017, the investigative journalist Caruana Galizia died in a car bomb attack close to her home, attracting widespread local and international reactions.
On November 13, 2019 the spaniel sniffer dog Peter was screening passengers when he alerted his handlers of Malta custom to the smell of cash.
Under questioning by police, Theuma made the claim that he had acted as intermediary in the contract killing of journalist, Daphne Caruana Galizia.
On 25 November 2019 the star witness Melvin Theuma was granted immunity from prosecution by President George Vella at the request of Prime Minister Joseph Muscat.
The businessman was prejudiced in public, so his defence said, that he could not hope for a proper investigation and a fair trial.
On 30 November 2019 an indictment was filed against Fenech in Valletta, and he was accused of complicity in the murder of Caruana Galizia, amongst other charges.
Six days after Fenech's arrest, Schembri resigned his government post on 26 November 2019, and was subsequently arrested by the police for questioning.
Muscat announced his resignation on 1 December 2019 in a televised speech, saying he would step down after Labour Party internal elections on 12 January 2020.
He informed the President of Malta, George Vella, that he would be resigning his duties once his successor had been elected.
On the same day, Reporters sans Frontieres, together with the relatives of Caruana Galizia, filed a lawsuit against three of the alleged key figures in the murder case in France.
The lawsuit was filed with the Finance Prosecutor's Office and the Paris Public Prosecutor's Office accusing Yorgen Fenech, Keith Schembri and Konrad Mizzi of murder and bribery.
Muscat resigned as planned on 13 January 2020 and was replaced by Robert Abela as the new prime minister of Malta.
An EU Parliament delegation announced to come to Malta in early December 2019 to monitor the rule of law and to hold talks with government officials in Malta.

William Hamilton Shortt (1881-1971) was a railway engineer and noted horologist, responsible for the design of the Shortt-Synchronome free pendulum clock, a widely used time standard, employed internationally in observatories in the period between the two World Wars.
His deep involvement in precision timekeeping, as a colleague of Frank Hope-Jones and director of the Synchronome Company, derived from work on the safety of train travel and the accurate measurement of train speeds, following investigations into a serious train derailment of a LSWR train at Salisbury Station in 1906, when twenty-eight people died.
Shortt was born in September 1881 in Wimbledon, Surrey, only son to Charles Henry Shortt, a civil engineer, and Fanny (née Dobson) who was sister to the poet Austin Dobson.
Shortt met Hope-Jones in 1910, and began collaborating in the design of master clocks from 1912, joining the Synchronome Company as a shareholder and director.
He produced a series of designs involving new forms of escapement, attempting to optimise the delivery of energy to the pendulum, while taking account of variations in external factors such as temperature and atmospheric pressure.
Shortt's experiments continued until 1916, when he was released from duties with the LSWR to serve as a captain in the Royal Engineers in France.
In 1919, having been demobilised from the army, he returned to his experimental work, producing a series of clocks in which he continued to try new ways of delivering an impulse to the pendulum, while attempting to make the pendulum do as little work as possible.
Championed by the Astronomer Royal of Scotland, Ralph Allan Sampson, Shortt's free pendulum clock was rapidly adopted worldwide by many observatories as a time standard, and remained as such until the widespread adoption of quartz clocks from the Second World War onwards.
Shortt was honoured for his work in horology and precision timekeeping with the Gold Medal from the British Horological Institute in 1931 and its Fellowship in 1932, the John Price Wetherill Medal from the Franklin Institute in 1935, and the Tompion Medal of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers in 1954.

Piggott chooses the 100 Butterfly and 200 Individual Medley as his best events; however, he has not yet specialised in a particular event.
Piggott was born with bilateral talipes (club feet), and underwent many operations to help him walk, mostly requiring him to use a wheelchair when during the periods of surgery.
He did not originally want to get into competitive swimming and preferred to take a more relaxed approach to the sport.
In 2013 he was identified by Wales as a para-swimmer and in order to make the team he needed to complete more weekly sessions than the three to four he was then doing, so the family decided to move to Shrewsbury Amateur Swimming Club.
When Tom isn't swimming he can be found on poolsides either officiating or Coaching and for two years he coached for two years (2017-2019) with Oswestry Otters where he coached 7-11 year olds and he dedicates time and resources to find new and fun ways to deliver best fun practice.
He is often putting newly learned ideas into the sets he is given by the Head Coach, building on his experience and knowledge to give back to the members of Oswestry Otters.
Not only is Tom an official and a Coach he is a Role Model for the younger generation of swimmers inspiring them to keep on swimming even when times are tough.

The San Francisco Bay Area Planning and Urban Research Association (SPUR) reported from a panel discussion at an event they hosted in 2017 that the question came up why San Jose didn't see as much increase in cycling usage as expected after a round of bike lane construction.
Cycling in the city of San Jose can't just be viewed in isolation because it is bordered by other cities within Santa Clara County.
County-wide bicycle and pedestrian planning is done by the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) because it was formed by a merger of the county transit agency with the congestion management districts of the county and all the cities in the county.
Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), which is planned to open in San Jose at the Berryessa/North San Jose station and in Milpitas (next to the border of San Jose) at the Milpitas station in 2020, has rules for bicycles restricting using the first car at any time, the first 3 cars during commute hours, or any crowded car.
Besides rentals available at bike shops, the City of San Jose has also permitted Bay Wheels (formerly known as Ford GoBike) to operate a bike sharing system in the city.
San Jose Bike Party has since 2007 done monthly rides on the 3rd Friday of the month, which can attract thousands of riders in Summer months.
Since 2015 and now held each Spring and Fall, Viva Calle San Jose is a street festival where a pre-announced route of several miles of streets is temporarily closed for hours during the day to vehicle traffic and opened to pedestrians, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, etc.
Helen Mary Gaskell (née Melville), CBE, known as May Gaskell (1853–1940) was a society hostess and philanthropist in London who established the British War Library.
The British War Library service was a venture launched in 1914 to provide reading material to World War I British soldiers.
It was one of the first examples of bibliotherapy in a military context, inspiring the American Library War Service to be founded a few years later - although earlier examples can be found, e.g.
The service was created by Helen Mary Gaskell, using Lady Battersea's large but empty London home Surrey House (near Marble Arch) as a base.
Gaskell obtained official approval from Lord Haldane, then War Minister, and Sir Arthur Sloggett (head of the Royal Army Medical Corps).
Initially it was aimed at the wounded in military hospitals, but the Admiralty requested it be extended to those on active service too, including medical staff and coastguards.
An appeal was launched for donations of used books - the first appeal of the war - and with free promotion by newspapers, reading matter started arriving in parcels, boxes, then whole vanloads.
Demand was huge: it distributed over six million books and magazines, including new books (purchased by the public) and special editions printed by publishers specifically for this purpose (e.g.
At the same time, some people regarded it as a chance to clean out their rubbish while gaining credit for 'charity', so tens of thousands of old parish magazines were sent in, only to be thrown away.
When Thomas Jones CH and others set up the Army Bureau of Current Affairs in 1940 to provide 'mental stimulant' to World War II troops, this was partly continuing the BWL's aims, although Gaskell's contribution appears to have been largely overlooked until as late as the 21st century.

A sovereign state that is located in the West Indies in the Caribbean Sea towards the southern end of the Grenadine island chain, the nation is composed of the island Grenada along with six smaller islands that lie north of it.
Grenada is a developing country that relies heavily on the support of other nations and organizations to finance many of its government projects.
Grenada shares a common central bank with Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), and holds the East Caribbean dollars as its currency.
Hurricane Ivan in 2004 led to serious setbacks for Grenada, along with the Great Recession in 2008 as the United States of America is one of Grenada's largest trade partners.
The destruction brought on upon by Hurricane Ivan was devastating, but with the more powerful natural disasters accruing due to the warming of Earth's atmosphere, Grenada could quite possible be destroyed or even underwater.
Much actions are being taken place to counteract the effects of climate change that are seen in the policies Grenada has been implementing this year.

The son of Victoria and Jamie Borwick (a Conservative politician and peer, respectively), Thomas Borwick studied at the University of Richmond, Virginia as well as Cambridge University.
Borwick worked for Cambridge Analytica and AggregateIQ, and was chief technology officer for Vote Leave before creating the campaigning group 3rd Party Ltd in order to influence the outcome of the 2019 United Kingdom general election.
As part of this campaign, Borwick ran targeted Facebook advertisements calling for voters to vote for the Green Party, in a move to divide the anti-Conservative vote in swing constituencies and gather data on Green voters.
He has also operated numerous other companies, including Disruptive Communications Ltd, which he started in partnership with Douglas Carswell, formerly of the UK Independence Party; and Voter Consultancy Ltd, whose micro-targeting of Facebook adverts led to death threats against anti-Brexit MPs and a subsequent investigation by the Information Commissioner's Office.
Borwick was critical of the restaurant's bouncers, who he claimed did not assist him after he cried for help, but instead simply escorted him from the premises.

William Fawcett (26 December 1763–28 December 1844) was an engineer and manufacturer of guns and steam engines, supplying steam engines for some of the earliest steam ships in Britain and America, and for use on sugar plantations in America.
Fawcett was an apprentice engineer at the Phoenix Foundry in Liverpool, which was owned by the Darbys of Coalbrookdale and managed by his father-in-law.
When Rathbone died in 1790, he left £2,500 and five shares in the Iron Bridge on the River Severn to Fawcett.
Fawcett leased the Phoenix Foundry (for a seven year term) in 1790, and bought it from the Darbys in 1794 for £2,300, naming the firm Fawcett and Company.
The production of arms helped the firm prosper during the Napoleonic Wars, but Fawcett's fellow Quakers denounced him for his production of weapons of war and he left the faith.
Fawcett bought back part of the firm by the early 1820s, and in 1823 the Littledales sold their majority interest in the firm to the Preston family.
In 1827, William Fawcett received a patent, together with Matthew Clark, for a device for producing sugar from cane juice using the steam from a steam engine's boiler.
The ship is often named as the first ship used by the Peninsular Steam Navigation Company, which later became the P&O.

While the severity of the crime in the United States is usually only minor, as of 2019, many lawmakers have begun to push for punishments of increased severity due to the skyrocketing instances of such crimes.
The rate of package theft in the United States has been steadily increasing, with 90,000 packages disappearing daily in New York City alone in 2019, up 20 percent from four years prior.
Across the country, more than 1.7 million packages are stolen or go missing daily, adding up to $25 million USD in lost goods and services.
Concerns that remote-controlled drones might allow for completely anonymous package theft in the future have prompted IBM to develop a blockchain system to prevent drone-enabled theft by monitoring drones' altitude.
In New York City, such cases are considered petit larceny, unless the value is above $1000 USD, in which case they are considered grand larceny.
The lack of an easy method to stop package theft has caused many to turn to neighbors to receive their packages for them.
It also began a program to share theft video from Ring doorbell cameras with police, but this led to controversy about privacy concerns.

During the 17 October affair in 1952, Soegeng was on sick leave, and a power struggle occurred between his subordinates which resulted in the temporary acting commander, Lt. Col. Suwondho, being arrested and dismissed.
Soegeng, who was at the time still inactive yet considered a politically moderate and competent officer, was appointed acting Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Army on 15 December 1952 replacing Abdul Haris Nasution.
Due to his illness during the coup attempt, he was seen as uninvolved in the incident, and he was considered as an acceptable compromise replacement for Nasution.
The early weeks of his tenure saw a clash with the politicians in Jakarta, when he attempted to appoint Joop Warouw as the regional commander for East Indonesia.
The Cabinet then reversed its stance in order to prevent further ministerial resignations and attempted to appoint another officer, Col. Sadikin, but this was countered by Soegeng also threatening to resign.
Soegeng's resignation was rejected, and Sadikin did not indicate readiness for this appointment, resulting in Warouw maintaining his post without immediate further resignations.
Even with Soegeng's appointment, the East Java division was still dissatisfied, and in one occasion when Soegeng accompanied Wilopo on a trip to the Kodam's headquarters, they were greeted by tanks instead of the leaders and an empty headquarter office.
Soegeng would once again threaten to resign in December 1953, when the Defense Minister at the time Iwa Kusumasumantri made several controversial appointments to the Army General Staff.
Several of the territorial commanders responded to Soegeng's threat by demanding Iwa's resignation, but they were eventually convinced to back down and Soegeng withdrew his resignation once more, accepting the new appointees.
Aside from these issues, Soegeng's time as Chief of Staff also saw the initiation of the numerical registration of army soldiers, and Soegeng himself was registered with the code 10001.
Soegeng had felt that he was unable to implement the resolutions in the charter, furthered by the lack of government response to the demands.
Miss United States 1960, also referred to as Miss World USA 1960, was the 3rd edition of the Miss United States World pageant and it was held in Bridgeport, Connecticut and was originally won by Annette Driggers of New York City, NY.
Driggers, however, was dethroned after it was revealed that she was only 15 years old and not 20 like she had said.
Hina Saleem (19 December 1985 – 11 August 2006) was a Pakistani woman resident in Italy who was killed in an honour killing, in Zanano di Sarezzo, province of Brescia, Lombardy, Italy.
Mohammed expressed disagreement with Hina's life choices after the family arrived in Italy, complaining about her Westernization due to the Western boyfriend and her habit of smoking cigarettes, and he instead wanted her in an arranged marriage.
Mohammad contacted her and asked her to come to the house in Brescia to meet a cousin visiting in the area.
Hina's boyfriend reported her missing on Saturday 19 August 2006 and the Carabinieri searched the house, finding the body buried in the garden and blood in Hina's bedroom.
In 2016 Saleem's mother stated that she forgave her husband, and that the media articles inaccurately portrayed the family as being against western culture when this was not the case.
Italian Interior Minister Giuliano Amato stated that the event made him reconsider a plan to reduce the waiting period for Italian citizenship; he previously proposed reducing it from ten to five.
He did magnetism experiments by putting objects on water or mercury, using surface tension to make them float and magnets to move them.

Antoine Davis (born October 3, 1998) is an American college basketball player for the Detroit Mercy Titans of the Horizon League.
Davis was born in Bloomington, Indiana, where his father, Mike Davis, was a member of the Indiana Hoosiers basketball coaching staff under Bob Knight.
In part to continue his partnership with Lucas, he was homeschooled from seventh grade through high school and played basketball for the Homeschool Christian Youth Association (HCYA), a private homeschool support organization based in Houston.
Davis played for Houston Hoops on the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) circuit and averaged 23 points per game as a senior for HCYA.
A consensus three-star recruit, he was considered undersized, at and , and did not receive offers from any major NCAA Division I programs.
Davis had 23 games in which he scored 20 or more points, and his 784 points was one behind Rashad Phillips' single-season school record 785 points in the 2000-01 season.
Davis was the third-leading scorer in NCAA Division I with 26.1 points per game, to go with 3.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.
Mike has coached various NCAA Division I teams, including Indiana, where he was an assistant to legendary coach Bob Knight before succeeding him.
He started doing photographs in the high school, and was accepted in the photography department of the Academy of Dramatic Art of the University of Zagreb.
In the morning of 6 December 1991 he was deadly hit by a shell fragment while he was taking his last photographs.
Part of his work, including a series of 12 photos he took just before he was killed, his now part of the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Dubrovnik.
Shah Neyamat Ullah came to this region with some disciples in 1659 when Shah Shuja was the governor of Bengal and Odisha.
In 1992, the Department of Archaeology took charge of the maintenance and renovation of the mosque and listed it as an archaeological site.
During his senior year, Surratt was named Parade National Player of the Year and a Parade All-American, as well as the Associated Press offensive player of the year in North Carolina.
Recruited by then-Coach Larry Fedora to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to play quarterback, Surratt redshirted during his first season with the program.
Named the starting quarterback during his redshirt freshman season, replacing graduate transfer Brandon Harris, Surratt struggled with both inconsistency and injury, appearing in nine games and starting seven.
He is currently the deputy secretary-general of Executives of Construction Party, and formerly served as the secretary-general of Iron Ore Producers' and Exporters' Association of Iran (IROPEX).
The station, which broadcasts its digital signal on virtual channel 27 and UHF channel 27, is owned by DTV America, a subsidiary of HC2 Holdings.
The station’s construction permit was initially issued on February 25, 2010 under the calls of K27KI-D and changed to the current callsign of KBKI-LD.
It has been recorded to associate with hematite, langbeinite, calciolangbeinite, arcanite, krasheninnikovite, lammerite, labberite-β, johillerite, bradaczekite, urusovite, fluoborite, gahnite, orthoclase, and fluorophlogopite.
Wulffite has been found to reside about a meter down in between layers of basalt scoria and small 2-inch volcanic plutons, otherwise known as volcanic bombs, where most of the common chemicals are sulfates, arsenate, and oxides.
Wulffite was found in abundance at the active monogenetic volcanic Arsenatnaya fumarole where the temperature ranged from 360-380ºC where Wulffite was found to mainly form, but with other nearby fumaroles reaching temperatures up to 430ºC.
The fumarole also showed through analysis that atmospheric air interacts with the fumarole, enriching it in HO, HF, HCl, SO, CO.
The Tolbachik volcano in Russia at 55º41´N 160º14´E, at an elevation of 1200 meters, is so far the only place to have Wulffite occurring.
They form individually or in coarse clusters and crusts of elongated prismatic crystals reaching a maximum size of 2 mm long and 1.2 mm thick with groups of clusters stretching 1 cm across.
The crystal colors take on being a dark emerald green to a bluish tinted green, dark green being the most common.
The mineral has also shown strong optical phenomenon of pleochroism that absorbs light and changes the color from emerald green to pale green (Z dark emerald green > Y green > X pale green).
All of the physical properties of Wulffite can be contributed to the highly volcanic environment in which they formed and the amount of elements available for it to form at all.
Wulffite has also been shown to dissolve in water showing that its bonds are weak enough to dissolve in room temperature water.
Many forms of X-ray analysis were performed such as X-ray Powder Diffraction, Single Crystal Diffraction and Jeol JSM-6480LV a scanning electron microscope to find the chemical composition and crystal structure to compile the data of the new mineral.
The analysis showed that Wulffite has an orthorhombic crystal system structure with a basic unit of a heteropolyhedral quasi-framework formed from Cu-O-S chains.
From Chemical and Optical properties, the tests also showed how the chains run along the [010] with a center of Copper pyramids and SO tetrahedra.
Wulffite can also be distinguished from the similar Parawulffite by its difference in Cu-O-S chain structures, since Wulffite is mainly centered around the SO tetrahedra and with the chains being interconnected instead of distorted.
Army/Navy Transportable Pulse-Radar Search-32 (AN/TPS-32) was a three-dimensional, tactical long-range surveillance radar operated by the United States Marine Corps from late 1960s through the early 1990s.
Developed by ITT Gilfillan in Van Nuys, California, the radar was the primary sensor for the Marine Corps' Tactical Air Operations Center (TAOC) and was optimized to work in concert with the MIM-23 Hawk Missile System and the Marine Tactical Data System.
It was the service's first three dimensional radar providing range, azimuth and altitude from one array thus precluding the need for a Height-finder radar.
Unlike the old mechanically scanned arrays that utilized analog technology, the TPS-32 was 90% digital, solid-state electronics possessing a phased Antenna array.
Also new for the design of this radar was the use of three Crossed-field amplifiers as the microwave amplifiers in the very-high-power transmitter.
Myanmar (officially known as the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, and also known as Burma), officially joined the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as of January 3, 1952; shortly before the end of term for the Union of Myanmar's first President, Sao Shwe Thaik, and the induction of Ba U.
Since the induction of Myanmar as a member of the institution, they have made six arrangements with the IMF with its most recent arrangement made in 1981.
As of 2019, they are currently led by Kyaw Kyaw Maung and Alternate U Soe Thein; their Special Drawing Rights (SDR) is at 0.79 million and quota consists of $516.8 million SDR which is 0.11% of the total IMF funds available.
As of 2019, the country is under one of the twenty-four Executive Boards that facilitates the day to day operations of the IMF, led by Alisara Mahasandana and Alternate Keng Heng Tan; their co-board members consist of Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Republic of Fiji, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga, and Vietnam.
The Executive Board accumulates around 218,545 total votes which account for 4.34% of the Fund's total, Myanmar allocates 6,633 of the votes (0.13% of the total votes in the IMF).
According to the IMF, Myanmar's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is at an estimated $355.609 billion with an estimated GDP per capita of $6,707.167 and an estimated inflation rate of 7.841%.
As of 2017, Myanmar has exported roughly $15 billion and imported $21.2 billion, leaving a negative trade balance of $6.14 billion.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is a multilateral agency that ensures the stabilization of the international economy through economic surveillance, provide short-term loans whilst trying to correct inherent economic issues, and assist in modernizing economies to the 189 countries they are accountable for.
Transactions were made with the IMF between 1984-1991, in which the outstanding credit has been consistently paid back; signifying that the IMF has considered the conditions of the state to refrain from imposing struggle.
In 1995, Myanmar's external debt consisted mostly of bilateral debt with the remainder being private; the country was strongly advised to utilize Fund programs to alleviate debt.
Myanmar has joined the Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateralization with China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Brunei, and Laos.
It was a measure in response to the crisis of having insufficient foreign reserves to fulfill their short-term foreign currency obligations, with the intention to develop self-help mechanisms for East Asian countries to prevent the over-reliance on the IMF.
An oppressive collective of military leaders, military junta, took over the governing body of Myanmar from 1962 until 2011 and were often noted for its human rights violations.
The ratification of the 2008 Constitution of Myanmar, was a long-awaited response from the military junta after their refusal to recognize the results of the 1990 General Elections and the house arrest of Aung San Suu Kyi.
Under the new constitution, it is stated that the country is to practice a multi-party democratic system and a market economy system.
The IMF acknowledged the fragility of the Myanmar government, aiding in the creation of reforms in taxation for medium-term solutions in the gradual strengthening of institutions through the concentration of large taxpayers.
The IMF has also indicated that both constituents and political leaders have recognized the legitimacy of these reformations, but lack the modernization and risk management to face further economic challenges.
Their banking sector has undergone restructuring, uncovering many fragile aspects of the banks; their four state-owned banks strengthened state sectors and large firms, allowing for private sector firms to procure a large market share of banking deposits (64%) and banking loans (82%).
The IMF's consultation concluded that the banking sectors absence towards recapitalization has exposed fragility in the sector through large-scale financial spillovers.
The Rohingya people are an ethnic group established in the Rakhine State of Myanmar, their initial attempts for freedoms were largely defeated.
Under the military junta, their political and civil rights slowly diminished and were often met with religious violence; ultimately rendering them stateless and forcing pilgrimage to Malaysia or Bangladesh.
Local government has limited or restrained human rights investigators and humanitarian access, and constrained efforts through intensifying security tensions throughout the Rakhine area.
The IMF's consensus throughout the consultation held the humanitarian issues within the Rohingya conflict as a significant factor contributing to the stagnating growth of Myanmar's economic reforms.
International actors have concentrated on the issue as a determining factor towards contributing to Myanmar's IMF financing and transition towards large-scale financial projects, although the IMF has viewed the country's progress in the conflict to have decreased significantly.
He also worked as a translator and photographer for CNN and the BBC after the start of the Civil War and hosted an English-language radio program.
Due to his work for these outlets, he was targeted by Islamic militias during the period after the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi.
In 2014, he moved to Portland in the United States as part of a Department of State exchange program at Portland State University.
In January 2019, he was briefly detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents who accused him of being in the United States illegally.
Elshieky began his career in comedy when he hosted a comedic political call-in radio show in Benghazi, but the radio station was burned down after the jokes offended local Islamic groups.

Bessie Bell Collier was born in Cohasset, Massachusetts, the eldest of five children born to Edmund Pomeroy Collier and Ella Bell Sargent Collier.
In 1913 Collier and singer Marie Sundelius gave a benefit concert to raise funds for the American Red Cross for flood victims.
She also funded a scholarship for women students of her old teacher, Franz Kneisel, when he taught at Kneisel Hall in Blue Hill, Maine.
As part of this goal, Itach Ma’aki emphasizes creation of multicultural gender discourse within diverse Israeli communities most subject to marginalization, including Palestinian, Haredi, Ethiopian-Israeli, and Russian-speaking communities.
Board members include legal scholars Netta Ziv (), Daphna Hacker and Yofi Tirosh (), attorneys Nasrin Aalimi Kabha and Rachel Benziman, journalist Anat Saragusti, political scholar Henriette Dahan Caleb.
Major contributors include the New Israel Fund, which also transfers tax-free contributions from the United States, the Hadassa Women's Foundation, the Dafna Foundation, and the Levi Lausen Foundation.
Itach Ma'aki belongs to various coalitions and forums aligned with its ideology and purposes, including Women, Peace and Security - Resolution 1325, Forum of women's organisations and Forums for Young Women's NGO's.
Itach Ma’aki acts in the areas of public housing, social security, collections, and other rights of women in low-wage employment, as well as issues of sexual harassment and sexual violence in the workplace.
The Association provides legal advice, and represents women in legal cases, while also working to create policy change for various legal issues.
In the public advocacy sphere, Itach Ma'aki joined a group of Israeli organizations in 2009, which approached the Attorney General to examine whether the IDF violated international law during the 2008-2009 Gaza War.
Following the establishment of the Turkel Commission to investigate the 2010 flotilla to Gaza, Itach Ma'aki petitioned the High Court of Justice against the Government of Israel and the Turkel Commission due to the absence of women on the Government appointed Public Commission (HCJ 5660/10 Itach-Ma'aki v Prime Minister).
The petition argued that the absence of women on the Commission dealing with such an important issue contravenes International Law and Section 6c1 of Israel's Women's Equal Rights Law; therefore, the High Court of Justice is required to intervene.
The High Court ordered the Government to appoint a woman to the Commission, and the Court's ruling on this matter constitutes, still to date, one of the legal foundations for appropriate representation of women.
It was established in Beer Sheva in 2006, when the many calls to the Association from this highly marginalized group made clear the urgent need for assistance.
One of the main areas the center assists with is with Social Security rights, especially income guarantee stipends for single mothers and women in polygamous marriages.
In addition, the center works on behalf of Bedouin women's rights through petitions to the High Court of Justice, attending Knesset conferences, and publishing reports and position papers in collaboration with other organizations in the Negev.
In 2013, Itach Ma'aki published a groundbreaking report, which, for the first time, provides statistics on the extent of domestic violence against Bedouin women in the Negev.
Among other findings, the report exposes how the lack of enforcement of the criminal prohibition on polygamy is one of the factors that increases violence.
NATA enlists the support and involvement of Knesset members from the entire political spectrum, as well as parents' organizations, in order to increase teaching assistant salaries, end summer dismissal of special-needs and medical-needs teaching assistants, add a second assistant in kindergartens, and create a dialogue with senior officials in the Ministry of Education and the Center for Local Government.
In 2011, the Association filed lawsuits on behalf of women working in non-officially recognized kindergartens within the Ultra-Orthodox community for equal employment terms as those of women working in official State recognized kindergartens.
The significance of the ruling is that it compensated the women for the terms of their employment up until the date of the ruling and provided an opening for additional teaching assistants to demand comparable conditions.
The Association's City for All project is inspired by the model women's network established in Rishon LeZion, which aims to advance the status of women and promote gender equality locally.
Through duplication and development of the model, the Association hopes to develop gender mainstreaming that will actually integrate women into decision-making processes in local authorities.
UN Security Council Resolution 1325 of October 31, 2000, promotes diverse representation of women in decision-making positions, protection of women from violence, implementation of gender analysis and gender mainstreaming, and the prevention of conflict.
Therefore, since 2007, the Association has been acting through petitions to the High Court of Justice, the establishment of conferences and seminars, and participation in committees in the Knesset, in order to implement and advance the resolution's commitments.
Inspired by many countries worldwide that have advocated comprehensive action plans to implement these principles, the Association, together with dozens of women's organizations, drafted a comprehensive plan of action.
Two years later, the plan was launched at a convention and was presented to the Government, Knesset members and ambassadors from all over the world.
In December 2014, following intensive efforts to advance the overall plan of action, the Israeli Government decided that the State will formulate a Governmental Action Plan.
According to the Government's decision, the future plan will be based on global examples and the comprehensive plan of action drafted by the civil society.
The purpose of the Center is to develop and strengthen activism among groups of Arab and Jewish women in the North, to raise awareness of socioeconomic rights, to protect women from violence, and to improve enforcement of their rights.
Itach Ma'aki supports a national group of young women activists from various backgrounds who act to change policy on issues facing marginalized youth who lack support systems and services once they turn 18.
The group’s goal is to engender critical thinking for getting the issue onto the public agenda and changing the prevailing situation in which policy regarding young women is shaped without their participation and without their knowledge.
Together with the Heschel Center for Sustainability, Civic Leadership, and the Heinrich Bőll Foundation, Itach Ma'aki is working to promote the 2030 Agenda in Israel.
Activities include the November 2018 milestone conference, attended by 120 civil society delegates and the issuing of the July 2019 Government Report, drafted by an inter-ministerial task force appointed by the Prime Minister, and which will be submitted to the United Nations.
Deals with health and safety hazards that cleaning women and caregivers for the elderly are exposed to in their work, specifically the use of hazardous substances.
This project involves a number of stages: mapping of needs, reviewing the existing situation and building a database, forming groups to empower women and train them for on-the-ground activities, and raising awareness among cleaning women and caregivers for the elderly.
This project arose as a result of women’s experiences in the institutional health system in Israel and of participants in the Legal Feminism Clinic run by Itach Ma'aki, recognizing the inherent difficulties and the complex balance of power present in the doctor-patient relationship.
The project's goal is to raise awareness among patients and the public, and promote public policy to create an effective response system in the healthcare system to deal with complaints and provide treatment for women who experience sexual harm and abuse by caregivers.
Be Biauw Tjoan, Majoor-titulair der Chinezen (1826–1904; also spelt Bhe Biauw Tjoan) was one of the most important Chinese-Indonesian magnates in the second half of the nineteenth century.
A bureaucrat, revenue farmer and businessman, he headed the influential Be family of Bagelen, part of the ‘Cabang Atas’ gentry of the Indies.
Born in Central Java, Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia), Be was the eldest son of a ‘totok’ or first-generation Chinese migrant, the self-made tycoon and, later, bureaucrat Be Ing Tjioe, Majoor-titulair der Chinezen (1803–1857) by his ‘Peranakan’ wife, Tjoa Tjoe Nio.
The Be family of Bagelen rose up economically and socially through its intimate association with the more established Tan family of Semarang, one of Java’s most powerful Cabang Atas families.
As part of this strategic alliance, Be Biauw Tjoan and his brother, Be Ik Sam, were betrothed and married off to the daughters of Tan Hong Yan, the 2nd Majoor der Chinezen of Semarang: Tan Ndjiang Nio and Tan Bien Nio respectively.
The Chinese officership, consisting of the ranks of Majoor, Kapitein and Luitenant der Chinezen, was an arm of the colonial civil bureaucracy through which the Dutch governed their Chinese subjects in the Indies.
Be’s involvement in Semarang’s Chinese bureaucracy was, probably, minimal – at least, later on – given his active career as a revenue farmer and businessman.
According to the historian James R. Rush, Be stood at the heart of the Tan-Be Kongsi, or business partnership, that dominated Java’s opium farm leases, the colony’s most lucrative revenue farms, from the 1860s until the 1880s.
The Majoor-titulair also had interests in other revenue farms, rice, sugar, plantations, shipping, warehousing and property all the way to Singapore, where he allegedly maintained a secret stake in the British colony’s opium farm.
In the 1860s, Christian Castens, the Resident of Bagelen gathered evidence of Be’s involvement in large-scale opium smuggling and distribution, not only to supplement the Kongsi’s official allotment, but also to undermine neighboring opium farms.
In 1863 – in a massive blow to the Be-Tan partnership – Ludolph Anne Jan Witt, Baron Sloet van de Beele, the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies, stripped Be of his titular Chinese mayoralty, and imposed a hefty fine on him and his partners for their illegal opium dealings.
Through a lengthy appeal to the colonial supreme court, Be was cleared of all charges in 1872, and was restored to his former position.
In 1876, though his competitor submitted a formal complaint to the lower house of the Dutch parliament against Be’s supposed undermining of his opium farm, nothing was ever conclusively proven against him.
The Majoor-titulair remained legally beyond reach, and retained his pre-eminence in the bureaucratic hierarchy and in business until the end of his life.
The Thai monarch made his host a Knight of the Order of the While Elephant, which enhanced Be’s prominence in Java.
In 1914, his family founded Be Biauw Tjoan Bank, named after the deceased paterfamilias, which became one of the most important commercial banks in the colony for the next decade until its liquidation in 1927 due to the sugar crisis.
Nonetheless, the Be family of Bagelen would remain one of the premier families of the Cabang Atas until the Indonesian revolution of 1945.
The European Union Monitor Mission Medal (EUMM) is a medal which recognizes service with the European Union Monitoring Mission in the former Yugoslavia which ran from 2000-2007.
Originally called the European Community Monitor Mission (ECMM), the mission came about as part of the Brijuni Agreement of 8 July 1991, which ended hostilities between Slovenia and Yugoslavia.
For those members of the mission who are killed while assigned to the monitor mission, there is no minimum period of service.
As a member of the centre-right party The People of Freedom, he ran for Mayor of Rovigo at the 2011 Italian local elections.
Amelio Poggi (9 October 1914 – 23 December 1974) was an Italian prelate of the Catholic Church who spent his career in the diplomatic service of the Holy See, including stints as Apostolic Nuncio in Rwanda, Uganda, and Syria.

Special Protection Group (Amendment) Bill 2019 was a bill passed by Indian parliament in 2019 which reduces Special Protection Group cover to only Prime Minister, former Prime Minister and their immediate family members up to 5 years after ceasing post if they are residing at the residence allotted.
Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha, lower house of parliament, on 25 November 2018 by minister of state for home affairs--G. Kishan Reddy.
On 3rd December 2019, bill was inroduced to Rajya Sabha by Home minister Amit Shah and was subsequently passed on the same day.
While introducing the bill in Lok Sabha, Reddy said that there was no cut off period in existing act for providing SPG protection to former prime ministers or members of their immediate families.
Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, leader of opposition in Lok Sabha, called the bill and move to amend the Special Protection Group Act 1988 as 'Political Vendetta' and alleged that government was trying to target the family which lost two lives for nation.
Amit Shah, Home minister of India, alleged that previous amendments in Special Protection Group Act 1988 were attempts to ensure continued protection for a family.
In addition, he alleged that amendments to the act were effected in 1991, 1994, 1999 and 2003 and one more amendment was being brought to revert the original spirit of the act.
Subramanian Swamy, nominated member in Rajya Sabha, said that all are equal before law and 'Gandhis' can't be given special treatment and added that the assassination of Indira Gandhi had nothing to do with lack of security.
Adem Bogocli began his career at the age of 16 as DJ Rapmaster A, mostly performing mixtapes and remixes of Hip hop and Rnb tracks.
Kathleen O'Brennan (20 November 1876 - 1948) was an Irish campaigner for Irish independence in the US, a journalist and a playwright.
Catherine Mary Brennan was born 20 November 1876, the daughter of Francis Brennan, auctioneer, and his wife, Elizabeth Anne Butler, while they lived in 11 South Richmond Street, Dublin.
She didn't let her absence from Dublin prevent her from working hard to ensure the success of Ireland's bid for independence.
In the aftermath of the rising her lectures became more and more political and included details she got from her sisters and photos of Éamonn Ceannt and his son.
The entry for the United States into the war in 1917 meant that her opposition to Great Britain was a threat due to the relationship between the allies.
She was also connected to the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) through her association with Dr. Marie Equi which did not ease the suspicions of her.
Her close ties with Equi were a potentially limiting factor due to the other woman's politics and sexual orientation and a belief that the women were in a relationship.
When Equi was arrested O'Brennan was part of the leadership to get her released and continued to agitate until in 1919 she herself was arrested.
O'Brennan worked to develop the Women’s Irish Education League, founded in San Francisco in May 1919, before finally returning to Ireland.
There O'Brennan, Gertrude Kelly and Gertrude Corless founded and ran the American Women Pickets for the Enforcement of America’s War Aims,(AWP).
They challenged what american identity was about and O'Brennan proposed that it was as much about rebelling against British rule thus tying the fight for Irish freedom back to the American Revolution.
During the Irish Civil War, de Valera used O'Brennan's socialist reputation to approach soviet foreign minister Georgy Chicherin while in Switzerland.
Her personal papers are currently held in the National Library of Ireland along with those of Éamonn Ceannt, of his wife Áine and of her sister Lily.
She is known for her involvement in developing an interdisciplinary approach to occupational health and her work on laws concerning reproduction.
Blegen began her medical practice as a hospital physician in 1960 and then in 1963 began working as a physician in Afghanistan for the United Nations.
At that time, London was developing family planning centers and Blegen visited the counseling centers which offered advice on abortion and contraception.
The law of 1964, which decriminalized the medical procedure made it obtainable only upon the application of a woman's general practitioner to a panel, which then made the decision for her.
Activists and physicians believed that the law should be revised as it limited women's agency over their own bodies and by 1969, research showed inequality in the panels' decisions on abortion applications.
In 1970, Blegen was hired as an assistant director to the Norwegian Directorate for Health and Social Affairs and that year helped found the Office for Prevention and Abortion in Oslo.
The goal of the office, staffed by health personnel, was to help women complete the applications for a legal abortion, with professional guidance.
The new clinic allowed the physicians to offer evening consultations and served to change the perception of contraceptive service among both the public and medical community.
In her work with the Health Directorate, Svindland worked to implement the Health Stations Act passed in 1972 which required all municipalities to take over the clinics for mothers and children that up to that point had been operated by the Norwegian Women's Public Health Association.
The article was accompanied by a list of 300 known doctors who would not perform abortions, with the hope that it would make the process easier for women to know which doctors were unlikely to assist them.
That year, they also made the decision to expand their service beyond applications, assisting with the appeals process, and if that failed, to finding safe alternatives abroad.
Campaigning in favor of self-determination, sex education in schools and equality in education and the right to work, the Labor Party, in a coalition with the Socialist Left Party won the election and formed the new government.
In May 1978, legislation was passed to allow self-determined abortion and though Svindland was pleased that reform had been passed, she did not agree with the provision that allowed health personnel to refuse to provide the procedure.
During her time in the government, Svindland held various cabinet posts and was responsible for developing an interdisciplinary method for coordinating operational health regulations and establishing a working environmental law.
She served from 1978 to 1980 on the Occupational Health Services Council of the Ministry of Social Affairs, from 1980 to 1984 on the Product Control Council of the Ministry of the Environment, and from 1985 to 1987 on the Pollution Council of the Ministry of the Environment.
In 1987, she became the director of Occupational Health Services in the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority, managing its 70 affiliated entities and legislation on healthcare and continued working there through the mid-1990s.
Besides her early work for the United Nations, in 1972, she attended the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm and was instrumental in the passage of a proposal for increased funding for family planning.
In 1978, she spoke on violence against women and female circumcision at the Socialist International Women Conference held in Vancouver, British Columbia, which resulted in a resolution against the practice of female genital mutilation.
In a 1995 interview, Svindland stated she had never been a politician, but had used political tools when it was necessary.
LaRoche was appointed a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Marine Microbial Genomics and Biogeochemistry, and her husband was appointed the University's Canada Excellence Research Chair.
In 2016, she received $149,900 in funding for her plankton research project, which allowed her to purchase a holographic microscope for a commercial ship she uses to study the Deep Panuke drilling station.
Previously, her team had only been able to analyze sample of water twice a year until The Atlantic Canadian company voluntarily provided the lab with free access on the Atlantic Condor.
The next year, she partnered with Canada C3, a 150-day expedition along the Atlantic, Arctic and Pacific coasts, to collect and share data.

The eleventh series, also known as Operación Triunfo 2020, began airing on La 1 on 12 January 2020, presented by Roberto Leal.
Unlike the seasons previously aired by TVE, the series will not serve as the platform to select the Spanish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020; singer Blas Cantó was internally selected by the broadcaster instead.
Further changes were revealed during the presentation press conference on January 9, including different privileges to the favorite of the audience, who will no longer be automatically exempt from nomination, and the suppression of the usual limit to the number of contestants up for elimination.
On 12 December 2019, it was announced that the panel would consist of four permanent judges, without the presence of rotatory guest judges like in the previous two seasons.
It was announced that the panel would consist of music radio director Javier Llano – who was previously a permanent judge on series 4, 5 and 6 –, musician and talent scout Javier Portugués, singer and songwriter Natalia Jiménez, and singer and actress Nina – who was previously the headmaster of the Academy on series 1, 2, 3 and 8 – are the judges.

The Constitution of the United States gives Congress the authority to remove the president of the United States from office in two separate proceedings.
The first one takes place in the House of Representatives which impeaches the president by approving articles of impeachment through a simple majority vote.
Three presidents have been impeached by the House of Representatives in U.S. history: Andrew Johnson in 1868, Bill Clinton in 1998, and Donald Trump in 2019.
An impeachment proceeding formally begins with a resolution adopted by the full House of Representatives, which typically includes a referral to a House committee to proceed with an impeachment inquiry.
If the Committee finds grounds for impeachment, it will set forth specific allegations of misconduct in one or more articles of impeachment.
A simple majority of those present and voting is required for each article for the resolution as a whole to pass.
The proceedings in the Senate unfold similar to a jury trial, with the Chief Justice presiding and Senate members acting as the jury.
Following a conviction, the Senate may also vote by a simple majority to punish the individual further by barring them from holding future federal office, elected or appointed.
Thus, if the Senate has the required two-thirds super-majority vote to remove a president from office during their first term, it would have to hold a second vote to ban them completely from running for reelection.
Once removed, convicted individuals would still be subject to criminal prosecutions in an actual court of law for the same factual situations.
Three presidents have been impeached in U.S. history: Andrew Johnson in 1868, Bill Clinton in 1998, and Donald Trump in 2019.
The Tenure of Office Act was enacted over Johnson's veto to curb his power and he openly violated it in early 1868.
The charges stemmed from a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Clinton by Arkansas state employee Paula Jones and from Clinton's testimony denying that he had engaged in a sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
Clinton was acquitted by the Senate with neither article receiving the required two-thirds majority or a simple majority of the votes.
After a whistleblower accused President Donald Trump of pressuring a foreign government to interfere on Trump's behalf in the 2020 election, the House initiated an impeachment inquiry.
798, by a vote of 228-193, to appoint the House impeachment managers and send the articles of impeachment to the Senate.

On April 22, 1952, Rep. Noah M. Mason (R-IL) suggested that impeachment proceedings should be started against President Harry S. Truman for seizing the nation's steel mills.
After three days of debate on the floor of the House, it was referred to the House Judiciary Committee where it died.
While no further action was taken on this particular bill, it led directly to the joint hearings of the subject that dominated the news later that year.
After the hearings were over, it was reported in USA Today that articles of impeachment were being discussed, but it was decided against.
Rep. Joseph Clay Stiles Blackburn (D-KY) introduced an impeachment resolution against President Ulysses S. Grant in 1876, regarding the number of days Grant had been absent from the White House.

34 was introduced on January 16, 1991, and was referred to the House Committee on Judiciary and then its Subcommittee on Economic and Commercial Law on March 18, 1992.
During the administration of President George W. Bush, several American politicians sought to either investigate him for possible impeachable offenses or to bring actual impeachment charges on the floor of the House Judiciary Committee.
The most significant of these occurred on June 10, 2008, when Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) introduced H.Res.
After nearly a day of debate, the House voted 251–166 to refer the impeachment resolution to the House Judiciary Committee on June 11, 2008, where no further action was taken on it.
Within weeks of taking office, members of Congress had declared that President Donald Trump may have committed impeachable offenses in relation to Executive Order 13769.
On July 12, 2017, Green and Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) formally introduced in the House of Representatives an article of impeachment (), accusing Trump of obstructing and impeding the investigation of justice, regarding the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

All of the Pol children are adopted, daughter Kathy and son Charles at birth and daughter Diane at age 18, after having been the Pol’s foster child for ten years.
A majority of his practice is made up of a mix of large animals, (like horses and cattle) and small animals, (like dogs and cats).
Due to the unavailability of emergency care animal hospitals the rural area where the practice is located, emergencies make up a large portion of the practice.
Dr Pol first met his wife Diane Pol at Mayville High School (Michigan) in 1961, when he was an exchange student from the Netherlands.
Later Pol and his wife Diane moved to Harbor Beach, Michigan, where Pol worked for another veterinarian practice for 10 years and then moved to Weidman, Michigan, where he and his wife started their own practice, Pol Veterinary Services, in 1981.
In fact, his practices have been the subject of multiple disciplinary proceedings, and his performance has received a mixed reception by veterinarians.
Another veterinarian flatly states that the show exhibit antiquated Veterinary practices, going back more than a quarter century; and thereby convey a false impression of the profession.
In April 2015, government regulators in Michigan found Pol in contempt for his treatment and care of a Boston terrier that was hit by a car and suffered an eye proptosis and broken pelvis in May 2011.
A disciplinary subcommittee of the Michigan Board of Veterinary Medicine decided on 26th March to fine Dr. Pol $500 and put his license on probation for not complying with the least possible standards of care required by the state.
There were supporters of the ruling based on notions of elemental due process, including vagueness of the charge, lack of an objective and clear legal standard, and variance of the evidence presented from the charges lodged.
At this juncture, a spokesman from Mackinac Center for Public Policy opined that consumers and the market place, not an officious government, should be able to make care decisions for their animals.
However, in late 2019 after remand, the Michigan Court of Appeals in another unpublished decision, wrote an extended opinion which affirmed the lower decisions that imposed discipline.
That decision could be subject to appeal (by leave, that is Petition for review, not as of right) to the Michigan Supreme Court, as the time limits are open as of this writing.
The Tigers, led by 2nd-year head coach Brian Collins, play their home games at the Gentry Complex in Nashville, Tennessee as members of the Ohio Valley Conference.

The organisation facilitates donation to the homeless through a project called StreetWear - an online shop that sells winter clothing and supplies.
It operates on a One for one (business model) where for every purchase made on the platform, a matching donation is made to homeless people in London.
Aimed at making it more sustainable and low maintenance for rough use on the streets, the clothing is made from of 100% polyester and is claimed to dry 40 per cent faster than regular clothing and doesn't need to be washed for a month.
In addition to clothing and winter supplies, the website hosts essentials like sanitary kits, haircuts, dental kits, and mobile phone top-ups that can be donated directly to a homeless individual.
Unhoused shares photos, videos of items donated through the website, and messages from the final recipients of the donations with its customers.
Founded by Varun Bhanot and Anisha Seth, the start-up also plans to set up a digital bank for the homeless with the objective of their financial inclusion.
Such a compensation implies a role in ribosome function similar to the normal copy; however, eL22L1 has also been implicates in other extraribosomal roles such as pre-mRNA splicing regulation in zebrafish.
The World Federation of Agriculture and Food Workers (, FEMTAA) was an International Trade Federation affiliated to the World Confederation of Labour (WCL).
The federation was established in December 1982 at a meeting in Bogota, when the World Federation of Agricultural Workers merged with the World Federation of Workers in Food, Tobacco and Hotel Industries.
In 2006, the WCL merged into the new International Trade Union Confederation, and FEMTAA dissolved, its former affiliates mostly joining the International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers' Associations.
The federation had three regional affiliates, the Pan-African Federation of Agricultural and Food Workers, the Federation of Agricultural Workers in Latin America, and the Asian Professional Federation of Mixed Industries.

May Kennedy (1876-1974) was born into a prosperous family in St. John’s, Newfoundland, and educated at a convent school in Waterford, Ireland.
During WWI, Kennedy worked at the Navy and Military Convalescent Hospital, Waterford Hall in St. John’s, as a member of the Volunteer Aid Detachment (VAD), providing nursing care to recovering soldiers.
In 1925, when women in Newfoundland achieved the right to vote, Kennedy, along with labour activist Julia Salter Earle and suffragist Fannie McNeil, ran for seats on St. John’s city council.
In March of 1960, three women, Frances Murphy (47), Mildred Lindquist (50), and Lillian Oetting (50), took a four-day trip to Starved Rock State Park in LaSalle County, Illinois, along the banks of the Illinois River.
They arrived from the Chicago suburb of Riverside, about 90 miles northeast of the park, and were married to prominent Chicago businessmen.
On March 14, after checking into the Starved Rock Lodge, the three took an afternoon hike through St. Louis Canyon, but never returned.
Their disappearances went unnoticed until March 16 when the husband of Frances Murphy phoned the lodge to inquire about his wife.
Police organized a search of the park which led to the discovery of the women's bodies, bound with twine and partially disrobed, inside a cave in the canyon.
All three suffered severe head trauma and a blood stained tree limb found nearby was determined to have been used to bludgeon them to death.
Weger, a dishwasher at the Starved Rock Lodge, was among those interviewed by Illinois State Police in the aftermath of the discovery.
Several employees of the lodge told investigators that he showed to work the day after the women's disappearances with scratches on his face.
Weger was question extensively in the weeks following the murders and was administered at least three lie detector tests, which he passed.
He fit the description of an assailant who bound a teenage girl with twine and raped her at nearby Matthiessen State Park months earlier, and was later identified by the victim in a photo line-up.
The twine used to bind the murder victims was the same as that found in the kitchen at the lodge, and he failed another lie detector test given to him in September.
After lengthy interrogation, he confessed to the murders the next day and led police in a reenactment at the crime scene.
A grand jury returned indictments against Weger for all three murders, as well as the rape and robbery at Matthiessen State Park, however the state chose to only try him for the murder of Lillian Oetting.
His defense relied on the claim that investigators were relentless in extracting a confession from him, that he was told they would convict him on circumstantial evidence if he didn't and send him to the electric chair, accusations the investigators and other witnesses denied.
He claimed he was washing dishes at the time of the murders before going to the basement of the lodge, and that the scratches seen on his face in the days after the murders were from shaving.
On March 3, 1961, the jury returned a verdict of guilty and fixed a sentence of life imprisonment, rejecting the state's request to sentence him to death.
His attorney filed an appeal which made its way to the Illinois Supreme Court, however the verdict was affirmed in September 1962.
On November 29, 2018, he fell one vote short of parole in a split vote of 7-7 before the Illinois Prisoner Review Board.
One year later, on November 21, 2019, the same board voted 9-4 in granting his release after nearly 59 years in prison.
ATC Colombia (Aero Transcolombiana de Carga Ltda) was an airline created in early 1993 with Colombian partners, from the United States and also Venezuela.
ATC began work to operate between Miami and several points in Colombia with their own Douglas DC-8-51F, the HK-3816-X, with a capacity for 35 tons of cargo and it was acquired from Agro Air.
At the end of 1995, under the presidency of Carlos Child, a second Douglas DC-8-51F, the N507DC, was brought in and the rental system of additional aircraft to Fine Air company was continued, including the Douglas DC-8-61F, which were larger and therefore they could transport more cargo.
Meanwhile, Fine Air company, which had shares in ATC, tried several times to obtain a license to fly to Colombia, which the American government always denied.
In 1996 ATC made a special operation to become the number one company in the management of export flowers and the mobilization of this product between Bogotá and Miami.
In February 1997, when Colombian-American relations were going through their worst moment because of the scandal of the government of President Samper and the de-categorization of Civil Aviation, ATC was recertified by the Civil Aviation and the FAA of the United States.
In 1999 ATC reached an agreement with the CARGOLUX company in Luxembourg, to operate direct flights to Europe, especially to transport flowers.
This cargo transport alliance is similar to a code-share agreement in the case of passenger flights, the transport of ATC cargo on CARGOLUX airplanes using ATC air guides.
By 1999, the problems of noise levels in the Douglas DC-8 turbines began, ATC sought to convert the engines to Stage 3 or replace the flight equipment.
Fine Air company managed to convert the turbines of its Douglas DC-8 to Stage 3, in the workshops it had in Miami.
Meanwhile, the owners of Fine Air company (Frank and Barry Fine) bought Arrow Air Inc and started these two joint operations.
Given the impossibility of negotiating with the Colombian Civil Aeronautics the problem of noise levels to convert the Douglas DC-8 turbines to Stage 3, Carlos Child withdrew the operating license to the airline in mid-1999, which forced the company to suspend operations definitively and went into liquidation immediately.
The Douglas DC-8 HK-3816-X was scrapped in Miami in August 2000 and the Douglas DC-8 N507DC was returned to Fine Air company, the original owner.
The ATC facilities in Miami consisted of X-ray equipment, cold room and security personnel to receive the perishable cargo and warehouse for the receipt and palletizing of the merchandise.
In Bogotá, an agreement was established with Aerosucre to use the cargo terminal at the airport, but with personnel hired directly by the airline.
It purports to be the diary of a farmer's wife, Anne Hughes, written in England in 1796-1797, which recounts details of her daily life, including recipes, and interactions with her family, servant and friends.
According to the foreword written by Michael Croucher to the 1980 book version, the original diary, referred to at the time as Anne Hughes' Boke (or Anne Hughes, Her Boke), was owned by Anne Hughes' daughter, Mary Anne Thomas ( Hughes).
When elderly, she read it to a young friend, Sarah Jane Keyte, who lived on a farm in Herefordshire (possibly Manor Farm at Ballingham) around 1896, and also wrote down some of the stories told to her by Mary Anne Thomas.
The placenames mentioned in the diary - Gloucester, Hereford, and Chepstow - are generally consistent with it having been written in the southern Herefordshire area, but research into the people named in the diary has failed to identify any of the individuals.
It could well be that she decided to present it in the form of a diary rather than as a series of disconnected incidents, or it is possible that the original was actually in diary form into which Jeanne then arranged all her stories.
One source for some, but not all, of the recipes was a thick old book that had belonged to Jeanne's mother, Mary Keyte.
According to Mary Day, the diary was published as submitted by Jeanne Preston, though some repetitious material was removed and some archaic spellings were corrected.
Both Jeanne Preston and Mary Day had already died, and it was assumed that the book transcription was both genuine and out of copyright.
A further book edition, produced in collaboration with Jeanne Preston's grandson, was published with a new introduction in 2009, by the Good Life Press.
Research into the origin of the diary, and the whereabouts of the supposed original, has been undertaken by Davey, Houghton and Ian Shankland.
It was published as an introduction to the 2009 edition and has been updated on the dedicated Anne Hughes' Diary website.
John G. Shinkle (10 March 1912 – 10 January 1995) was a United States Army general who became the first commander of the Army Rocket and Guided Missile Agency and the sixth commander of the White Sands Missile Range.
John Gardner Shinkle was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on 10 March 1912, the son of Edward Marsh Shinkle, a West Point graduate of the class of 1901, and his wife Margery Gibbons.
He was appointed to West Point from the 6th District of Ohio, the same one his father had been appointed from, and entered on 1 July 1929.
He graduated 23rd in the class of 1933 on 13 June 1933, and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Field Artillery Branch.
There he met and married Emily Harris, whose father, Henry Leavenworth Harris Jr. graduated from West Point with the class of 1899, grandfather Henry Leavenworth Harris graduated with the class of 1869, and great-grandfather N. Sayre Harris with the class of 1825.
Promoted to first lieutenant on 13 June 1936, Shinkle was posted to the 13th Field Artillery Regiment at Schofield Barracks in the Territory of Hawaii.
He was seconded to the Ordnance Department on 12 March 1937, and became the ordnance officer of the 18th Composite Wing at Fort Shafter in the Territory of Hawaii.
He underwent training at the Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey, and the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, where he became a proof officer for arms and ammunition.
He was promoted to major in the Army of the United States on 1 February 1942 and lieutenant colonel 18 August 42.
His service was recognized with promotion to the substantive rank of captain in the Ordnance Department on 13 June 1943, and the award of the Legion of Merit.
He was promoted to colonel in the Army of the United States on 6 January 1945 and awarded the Commendation Ribbon.
He then served as Deputy G-4 of the Transportation Corps from 1 July 1945 to 13 February 1946, earning the Bronze Star Medal.
After the war ended Shinkle joined General of the Army George C. Marshall's Mission to China, for which he was a second Commendation Ribbon and the Chinese Order of the Cloud and Banner and Military Order.
His apportionment as a colonel in the Army of the United States was terminated on 30 June 1947, and he reverted to his substantive rank of captain, but he was promoted to major in the Ordnance Department on 15 July 1948.
On 1 November 1949 he was then sent to Brazil as Ordnance Officer of the Joint US Military Mission to Brazil.
He made his debut for Western Province against Boland in a friendly match in 1981, replacing an injured Morne du Plessis.
During his years with Western Province, he competed with players such as Theuns Stofberg, Kulu Ferreira and Gert Smal for a place in the first team.
Lotter made his test debut for South Africa during the 1993 French tour of South Africa, in second test on 3 July 1993 at Ellis Park in Johannesburg.

Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM), also known as ARM Institute, is a consortium created in 2017 through a Department of Defense grant won by Carnegie Mellon University.
ARM is structured as a public-private partnership and the Manufacturing USA Institutes, a network of 14 institutes dedicated to advancing technologies used in manufacturing.
A proposal team led by Carnegie Mellon University won the grant to create ARM, though more than 200 partners pledged support for the institute during the proposal phase.
Like the other Manufacturing USA institutes, ARM operates as a membership-based consortium with more than 200 national members spanning industry, academia, and government.
ARM and Carnegie Mellon were the first two tenants on the site, which is on one of the three planned buildings, on a 90,000 square-foot facility, with the site having remained empty for 15 years.
Wegner made his test debut for South Africa during the 1993 French tour of South Africa, in second test on 3 July 1993 at Ellis Park in Johannesburg.
Justin Michael Frye (born September 19, 1983) is a former American football offensive lineman and the current offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for the UCLA Bruins.
Following his stint at Florida, Frye landed his first job as an offensive line coach for the Temple Owls in 2011.
In Frye's first year at Temple, the Owls ranked seventh in the nation in rushing yards, at 256.5 yards per game, and they set school records for the most rushing yards and most rushing touchdowns in a season.
In 2012, Frye's second season with the program, the Owls once again enjoyed a prolific rushing offense with a Big East Conference-leading 201.2 rushing yards per game.
In Frye's first season with the program, his offensive line paved the way for Andre Williams to become the first Doak Walker Award recipient in Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) history.
In Frye's second season (2014), the Eagles rushed for 254.7 yards per game, and their offensive line allowed just 21 sacks, the 29th-fewest in the nation.
In 2016, Frye's fourth season, the Eagles' offense led the ACC and ranked 11th in the country in time of possession.
In Frye's final season at Boston College (2017), the Eagles averaged 220.4 yards rushing, good for 25th in the nation, and the Eagles' offensive line allowed only 15 sacks the entire season.
Despite UCLA's 3–9 record in Frye's inaugural season with the Bruins, the Bruins' rushing attack improved by over 40 yards per game from the previous season.
Additionally, running back Joshua Kelley rushed for 1,243 yards in 2018, including 289 yards against crosstown rival USC; Kelley's 289 yards were the most generated by a running back in the history of the UCLA–USC rivalry.
Over the final eight games of the season, UCLA averaged over 432 yards of offense per game, including over 164 yards per game.
Don Arney (born 1947) is a Canadian inventor and entrepreneur best known for inventing the Bambi Bucket, a collapsible helicopter bucket used for fighting forest fires.
Arney was born in Prince Rupert, BC; he spent the first eight years of his life there before moving a number of times around Vancouver Island in order to accommodate his father’s work in construction.
The Bambi Bucket continues to be used in firefighting around the world; they were used in 2011 to cool nuclear reactors in Japan after damage from a tsunami.
Arney has also received the BC Export Award, which was awarded to his company SEI Industries in 2003, as well as an Ernest C. Manning Award, which he won in 1986.
It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador.
Ahmad Gooden (born October 27, 1995) is an American football linebacker for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL).
As a junior, Gooden made 101 tackles (15.5 for loss) with 5.5 sacks and was named first team All-Southern Conference (SoCon) and the conference Defensive Player of the Year.
He finished his collegiate career with 273 tackles, 22 sacks, five pass breakups, two forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries in 46 games played.
He was waived at the end of training camp during final roster cuts, but was re-signed to the team's practice squad on September 1, 2019.

18-3071, 912 F.3d 623 (2019), was a United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit case involving an appeal by company owned by a foreign government that was ordered by a federal judge to pay a $50,000 dollar fine per day until it complies with a grand jury's subpoena.
Federal prosecutors suggested that the company owned by 'Country A' pay a contempt fine of $10,000 per day for refusing to cooperate with Robert Mueller's grand jury.
United States District Court for the District of Columbia Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell imposed a larger contempt fine of $50,000 per day.
A three-judge panel was selected that was made up of judges Stephen F. Williams, Thomas B. Griffith, and David S. Tatel.
Circuit, in a per curiam opinion, ruled that the corporation owned by 'Country A' is not entitled to immunity in civil actions under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, and must pay the contempt fine of $50,000 per day that was issued by a federal judge for defying Robert Mueller's grand jury subpoena until compliance is met.
Russian-owned companies, like banks VTB Bank and VEB.RF, as well as oil company Rosneft have been mentioned as possibly being the company held in contempt.
VTB Bank has widely been speculated as the mystery company owned by 'Country A' because of allegations of involvement in a Trump Tower Moscow project.
An email from Felix Sater to Michael Cohen imply that Sater and Cohen were inclined to use VTB Bank as a source for funding Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
On February 21, 2019, Solicitor General of the United States Noel Francisco urged the Supreme Court of the United States to deny the corporation's petition to hear the case.
He had been covering the Australian leg of the tour, and intended to write a book about it, but Reuters refused him permission to do so when he told them he would be critical of the bodyline tactics of the English captain Douglas Jardine.
He joined the Second AIF in July 1940 and served in Malaya until September 1941, when he was discharged and became a war correspondent for Reuters.
His wife, who had accompanied him on many of his journalistic travels, replaced him as acting news editor of Reuters in Sydney when he enlisted.

TOPT were formed in 1978 by Robb Weir, Rocky Laws and Brian Dick, who added Mark Butcher after Weir briefly considered performing lead vocals.
Lamb had recently been a member of Robb Weir's band Sergeant, while both Sheperd and Donaldson had worked with former TOPT frontman Jess Cox in recent years.
This led to a full reformation of the band the following year, with sole original member Weir joined by new vocalist Tony Liddell, guitarist Dean Robertson, bassist Brian West and drummer Craig Ellis.
She is one of the most prominent and outspoken survivors of the child sex trafficking ring that was allegedly operated by the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
She founded the nonprofit organization Victims Refuse Silence in 2015 and has been widely featured in interviews with American and British media describing her experiences with Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew, and a number of other high profile individuals.
Giuffre has pursued criminal and civil actions against Epstein and Maxwell in addition to appealing directly to the public for justice and awareness.
She sued Maxwell for defamation in 2015 and the case was settled in Giuffre's favor for an undisclosed sum in 2017.
On 2 July 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ordered the unsealing of documents from the earlier civil suit by Giuffre against Maxwell.
The first batch of documents from Giufre's suit were released to the public on 9 August 2019, further implicating Epstein, Maxwell, and a number of his associates.
According to Giuffre's unfinished memoir, later released in court documents, she lived on the streets before getting entangled into abuse with two different older men.
Her father worked as a maintenance manager at the Mar-a-Lago property owned by Donald Trump and also helped Giuffre obtain a job there.
In the summer of 2000, Giuffre first met Ghislaine Maxwell when working as a spa attendant at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club while reading a book about massage therapy.
Maxwell, a British socialite and daughter of the late media tycoon Robert Maxwell, approached Giuffre, noted the book that she was reading, inquired about her interest in massage, and offered her a potential job working for Epstein as a traveling masseuse with the assurance that no experience was necessary.
Giuffre has stated that after Maxwell introduced her to Jeffrey Epstein, the two quickly began grooming her to provide sexual services.
Between 2000 and 2002, Giuffre was closely associated with Epstein and Maxwell, traveling between Epstein's residences in Palm Beach and Manhattan (at the Herbert N. Straus House), with additional trips to Epstein's Zorro ranch in New Mexico and private island Little Saint James.
She was provided with tickets to travel to Thailand by Maxwell and instructed to meet with a specific Thai girl to bring her back to the United States for Epstein.
While at the massage school in Thailand in 2002, she met Robert Giuffre, an Australian martial arts trainer, and the two married quickly thereafter.
In March 2005, while Giuffre was still establishing her family in Australia, the Palm Beach Police Department police began investigating Epstein after a 14 year old girl and her parents reported his behavior.
The girl described being recruited by Haley Robson, a female classmate from her high school, to give Epstein a massage at his mansion in exchange for money wherein he subsequently molested her.
By October 2005, the police had a growing list of girls, statements from Epstein's butlers corroborating their claims, and a search warrant for his Palm Beach property.
She resisted speaking at length to the FBI until she was approached again about the matter in person, this time by the Australian Federal Police, six months after being contacted by phone.
In 2006, the Palm Beach Police Department moved forward with their growing evidence against Epstein by signing a probable cause affidavit charging him with multiple counts of unlawful sex acts with a minor.
In 2008, a lawsuit was filed by Bradley Edwards and Paul Cassell that accused the Justice Department of violating the Crime Victims Rights Act during the first criminal case against Epstein, by failing to allowing several of his victims to challenge his plea deal.
In May 2009, Giuffre filed a lawsuit as Jane Doe 102 against Epstein and accused Maxwell of recruiting her to a life of being sexually trafficked while she was a minor.
Giuffre credited the birth of her daughter on January 7, 2010 as the date she decided to come forward publicly and begin speaking out about her experiences of sexual abuse and trafficking, despite the risks.
FBI agents made contact with Giuffre at the US consulate in Sydney in 2011, soon after she went public with allegations against Epstein and Prince Andrew.
Giuffre claims that Epstein sex trafficked her to lawyer and Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz at least six times the earliest time when was 16.
In a sworn deposition, Giuffre described being trafficked to Prince Andrew, Duke of York at least three times when she was 17 in 2001.
She claims that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell took her to Tramp nightclub in London where she met and danced with Prince Andrew.
There is a picture showing her, Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell in Ghislaine's apartment, which has been widely circulated and made her claims seem more credible.
Giuffre claimed that one sexual encounter with Prince Andrew was an orgy involving her and several underage girls from Eastern Europe as well as Jeffrey Epstein himself.
Anticipating the challenges that awaited Giuffre in accusing wealthy and powerful individuals, Pottinger looked for another lawyer that could match this.
In April 2015, a federal judge ruled that Giuffre cannot join the federal Crime Victims Rights Act lawsuit and her affidavit was stricken from the case.
As a result of Giuffre's allegations and Maxwell's comments about them, Giuffre sued Maxwell for defamation in federal court in New York in September 2015.
Giuffre was first represented by David Boies but Alan Dershowitz successfully had him removed from the case as he claimed that members of the law firm could be called to witness in the trial.
The local prosecutors presented evidence that Epstein assaulted one of the girls failing to bring forward the claims of the other girl as well.
The prosecution failed to indict Epstein for having sex with a minor (statutory rape) but instead indicted Epstein for one count of solicitation of prostitution which carries a much less serious charge.
Epstein's legal team wanted to negotiate a plea deal which would have allowed Epstein to enter a pre-trial diversion program and serve no jail time.
Starr told Acosta, that Epstein would not agree to be labeled a sex offender, which would normally be mandatory in connection with the charges brought forward.
Starr also objected to an addendum to the agreement which stated that the victims would be able to sue for compensation.
The investigation revealed that Epstein ordered his assistants and already procured underage girls to prey on vulnerable girls as young as 13 in order to subsequently sex traffic them.
It was a Non- Prosecution Agreement in which Epstein pleaded guilty to one charge of solicitation of prostitution and one count of prostitution of a minor under age 18.
The alleged victims of Epstein weren't told about the Non-prosecution agreement, which was also unusual because normal court procedure is that victims are notified before the agreement is signed.
The deal that Epstein had struck also included that he only had to spend his nights in jail He was granted work release and spent the whole day outside of jail.
Even though he wasn't allowed to travel during that time he regularly travelled between Florida, New York, New Mexico and the US Virgin Islands.
As a convicted sex offender Epstein was required to register as a sex offender in any jurisdiction in which he lived.
In 2010 a prosecutor from Manhattan district attorney Cyrus Vance's office argued that Epstein's sex offender classification should be reduced to a lower level in order for him to have more freedom.
In July 2019 the civil lawsuit of the victims and several media outlets to have the records of the indictment against Epstein be unsealed was successful.
The victims also won the lawsuit against of the office of Alex Acosta as the Crime Victims Rights Act had been violated during the court proceedings by failing to notify them about the Non Prosecution Agreement.
It was ruled that the prosecution had violated the CVRA by not letting the victims know about the deal so that they could have had a chance to oppose it.
The US attorneys office for the southern district of New York charged Epstein with child sex trafficking in violation of United States Code, Section 1591, which outlaws sex trafficking activities that affect interstate or foreign commerce.
Next to sex trafficking of underage victims being illegal some of Epstein's victims where under the age of consent, which would make some of the alleged sex acts be considered as sexual child abuse or statutory rape.
The new indictment referred back to allegations that were made in Florida, New Mexico and New York that had been the subject of the earlier agreement.
The statue of limitations on child sex trafficking had been changed by lawmakers before the former statue of limitations of five years had run out in Epstein's case.
Her family was put up at the Ritz-Carlton and she was interviewed about Epstein for over an hour by the network.
In the program she describes her experiences of being trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell to have sex with Prince Andrew three times in 2001: the first occurance in London at Maxwell's Belgravia residence, the second took place at Epstein's New York mansion, and the final occurrence involved multiple girls and the price on Little Saint James.
The reception to Prince Andrew's conduct during the interview was one of overwhelming disapproval that, combined with Giuffre's public appeal, helped lead to a widespread shift in opinion by the British people.
The prince resigned from his royal duties on 20 November 2019, as a number of organizations and charities that he was connected to severed ties.
Following her marriage to Robert in 2002, Giuffre lived in the Glenning Valley suburb of New South Wales' Central Coast in Australia for 11 years.
The family relocated to the United States in November 2013, and stayed for several years, initially spending time in Florida and later in Colorado in 2015.
In 2019, it was reported that Giuffre lives in Cairns, Australia with her husband Robert and their three children: two sons and one daughter.
Since 1954, he covered large European races such as 24 Hours of Le Mans in France, and the Mille Miglia and Targa Florio of Italy.
While in Europe he also photographed culture celebrities for New York Times, and was the European editor for Car and Driver magazine.
The history of the far-right in Spain dates back to at least the 1800s and refers to any manifestation of far-right politics in Spain.
Individuals and organizations associated with the far-right in Spain often employ reactionary traditionalism, religious fundamentalism, corporate Catholicism, and fascism in their ideological practice.
In the case of Spain, according to historian Pedro Carlos González Cuevas, the predominance of Catholicism played an essential role in the suppression of external political innovations such as Social Darwinism, positivism, and vitalism in Spanish far-right politics.
One notable member of this subgroup was Pedro de Inguanzo y Rivero, a prominent Bishop (and later Archbishop of Toledo) who was proclaimed cardinal by Pope Leo XII.
During the Bourbon Restoration, the extreme right in Spain, though united by Catholicism, saw increasing plurality; differences in views the far-right included Carlism, Maurism, social Catholicism, and nationalism.
According to historian Colin M. Wilson, the Sindicatos Libres was a proto-fascist organization and was far-removed from the traditionalism that would come to define Spanish fascism.
By 1931, Ledesma was receiving funding for the publication from Biscay monarchists such as José María de Areilza, José Antonio Sangróniz, and José Félix de Lequerica.
With the advent of the Second Republic, ideologues of the far-right began to associate themselves with the Acción Española, a cultural and political association founded in late 1931, and began to take influence from the nativism and traditionalism of Action Française, of Italian fascism, of Portuguese integralism, and of the German authoritarianism of Carl Schmitt and Oswald Spengler.
A number of fascist organizations were founded in this period, including the Movimiento Español Sindicalista (MES), and Falange Española and the Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional-Sindicalista.
The Falange Española, founded by José Antonio Primo de Rivera, lawyer and eldest son of dictator Miguel Primo de Rivera, aviator Julio Ruiz de Alda, and intellectual Alfonso García Valdecasas, would in 1934 merge with the Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional-Sindicalista to create the Falange Española de las JONS.
The Falange counted a number of retired military officers and members of the pro-fascist Spanish Military Union in its ranks, including Emilio Rodríguez Tarduchy, Luis Arredondo, Ricardo Rada, and Román Ayza.
During the period of the Second Spanish Republic, an increase in antisemitism, often apocalyptic in nature, resonated amongst Carlists and monarchists and led to the weakening of the moderate right.
Both Maeztu and the politician José Calvo Sotelo published articles that promoted fascism and urged an anti-Republican alliance that would include traditionalists and Falangists in the lead-up to the Spanish Civil War.
Following the Nationalist victory in the Spanish Civil War, Spain was ruled by the FET y de las JONS-backed dictator Francisco Franco.
The Franco dictatorship, analogous to that of other European fascist regimes of the twentieth century, incorporated into its ideology charismatic leadership, fascist imagery, and the embrace of an all-encompassing fascist state and nation.
These organizations, alongside other prominent figures like the historian José Luis Rodríguez Jiménez, expressed concern in the longevity of the Franco regime and a concern about loss of power in post-fascist Europe.
At the beginning of the transition period, the electoral division of the far-right was represented by the Alianza Nacional 18 de Julio coalition and by the Alianza Popular.
Fuerza Nueva attempted to stifle political reform through continuous activism and mobilization of far-right forces; the paramilitarism, uniforms, and violence of Fuerza Nueva attracted a number of young people to the organization.
This weakening of the far-right was compounded by splits between neo-Francoists and those who advocated for unity with other European far-right organizations.
The 1990s saw the dissolution of a number of far-right organizations: CEDADE was dissolved in 1993, as well as the Blas Piñar-led Fuerza Nueva, and in 1995 the Juntas Españolas dissolved as well.
While the former attempted to integrate both Catalanists and non-Catalanists, the latter took the position of a more strict Spanish nationalism and Blaverism.
Vox, a far-right party founded in 2013, began to see more success following the 2018 Andalusian regional election, and became the first far-right party to obtain parliamentary representation in an autonomous region of Spain.

After several weeks of increasing seismic activity that damaged the town of Nicolosi and other settlements, an eruption fissure opened on the southeastern flank of Etna during the night of 10-11 March.
Several more fissures became active during 11 March, erupting pyroclastics and tephra that fell over Sicily and accumulated to form the Monti Rossi scoria cone.
Lava disgorged from the eruption fissures flowed southwards away from the vent, burying a number of towns and farmland during March and April, eventually covering .
The inhabitants of the towns fled to the city of Catania and sought refuge there; religious ceremonies were held in the city to implore the end of the eruption.
In early April a branch of the lava flow advanced towards the city and on the 1 or 16 April it reached its city walls, provoking a crisis and the flight of many of its inhabitants.
More that two weeks later, parts of the flow surmounted the walls and penetrated Catania but did not cause much damage.
The first recorded attempt to divert a lava flow occurred when priest Diego Pappalardo and fifty others worked to break up a lava flow in an effort to divert it.
The effort was initially successful but the diverted flow threatened another town whose inhabitants chased Pappalardo and his men away and the lava flow resumed its original course towards Catania.
There are no known fatalities of the 1669 eruption but many towns, parts of Catania and farmland were destroyed by the lava flow and the earthquakes that accompanied the eruption.
News of the eruption spread as far as North America and a number of contemporaries described the event, leading to an increased interest in Etna's volcanic activity.
Etna is one of the most iconic and active volcanoes in the world; its eruptions – including both effusive and explosive eruptions from flank and central vents – have been recorded for 2,700 years .
Since 1603, several large eruptions had occurred and volcanic activity also increased on Vulcanello in the Aeolian Islands; a similar concordance between activity at Etna and in the Aeolian Islands was also observed in 2002.
During the two months before the 1669 eruption, the output of gas and steam from Etna's summit craters had been higher than usual.
A highly productive agricultural sector existed on the heavily urbanized southeastern slopes of Etna; settlements had grown there during the High Middle Ages.
Early activity that lasted until 9 March reflects the ascent of deep magma within the mountain while subsequent earthquakes were associated with the opening of the eruption fissure.
After midnight on 11 March, the first fissure opened up on Etna between the Monte Frumento Supino cinder cone and Piano San Leo.
This wide and long fissure between elevation was accompanied by weak eruptive activity at its upper end and an intense glow on its lower end.
During the afternoon of the same day, a second fissure opened and erupted lithics and ash clouds; historical records vary on the number of vents that became active.
An alternative reconstruction of events envisages the development of several fissure segments between elevation, most of which underwent brief explosive and effusive eruptions.
At 18:30, the main vent became active and lava began to flow from the second fissure from east of the Monte Salazara cone, close to Nicolosi, at elevation in Etna's southern rift zone.
A fifth fissure segment south of the Monpilieri cinder cone was briefly active on 12 March and several vents – sources disagree on the exact number – became active on 12 March around the main vent with lava fountaining.
An eruption column rose from the vent and deposited tephra, pyroclastics covered large parts of Etna's southeastern flank and ash from the eruption traveled as far as Calabria and Greece.
Strombolian and lava fountaining took place, generating pyroclastics including lapilli and lava bombs,) which fell over the southeastern flank for three months.
These deposits reached a thickness of from the vent; roofs in Acireale, Pedara, Trecastagni and Viagrande collapsed under the weight of the tephra.
The explosive stages of the 1669 eruption produced of pyroclastics and have been classified as category 2–3 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, making it one of the most intense eruptions of Etna.
Subplinian eruptions on Etna's flanks are not common; other examples are the prehistoric eruptions of Monte Moio 28,600 ± 4,700 years ago, Monte Frumento delle Concazze 3,500 years ago and Monte Salto del Cane 3,000 years ago.
This sulfur may have risen into the upper troposphere, causing changes in the chemistry of the regional atmosphere and environmental hazards.
Lava now flowed out of the volcano into a densely populated area at an average rate of , with a peak rate of .
During and after 14 March, the lava flow branched out in three directions and began to advance southwards; the western branch destroyed villages close to Mascalucia, and houses around Camporotondo and San Pietro.
Between the 18 and 25 March the western and eastern branches of the lava flow stopped advancing and away from the vent, respectively.
Almost a century after the eruption, Sir William Hamilton reported the lava flows had shifted an otherwise undamaged vineyard by over .
The southeastern branch of the flow, which was fed by lava tubes and ephemeral vents, continued to advance and destroyed farms close to Catania.
On 20 March, a branch of the lava flow approached the city and after ponding in and filling the Gurna del Nicito lake, on the 16th or 1 April, it reached the city walls about away from the vent.
The walls deflected the lava flow southwards and after surrounding the Castello Ursino on 23 April, the lava flow began entering the Ionian Sea as a -wide flow front.
Beginning on 30 April, some flows overtopped the walls and penetrated Catania, pushing aside weaker buildings and burying sturdier ones but did not cause much damage.
The 1669 eruption is the only historical eruption that impacted the urban area of Catania; other lava flows in the city are of prehistoric age and the presence of lava from the AD 252 eruption has been ruled out.
Lava continued to flow into the sea, which was away from the vents, for two more months, and overlapping lava flows continued to form upstream yielding a complex lava field.
Even after the eruption ended, the lava flows were still hot enough to boil water for many months and it reportedly took eight years for the lava to cool.
During the night of 24 March, a violent earthquake took place and was followed by activity on the main summit of Etna.
There is disagreement between contemporaneous records that mention a collapse of the summit in 1669, those which do not, and 21st-century research that indicates there were no major changes in the morphology of the summit during the 1669 eruption.
Authorities in Catania requested assistance from the then-viceroy of Sicily Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, 10th Duke of Alburquerque and took care of about 20,000 refugees.
These refugees sought out the city as a safe haven because it was distant from the eruption at that time and they were received with great hospitality.
As the eruption continued and lava flows advanced towards Catania, law and order broke down, panic ensued – an unusual event during a natural disaster – and the authorities of Catania were overwhelmed.
Riggio prepared barracks north of Catania to take up refugees and evacuated both prisoners, the city archives, food reserves and religious objects from the city.
Instead, the walls threatened by the lava flows were reinforced, gates blocked and when the lava penetrated them restraining walls and barriers from the debris from destroyed houses.
In Antiquity, eruptions of Etna were interpreted as the consequence of divine wrath and suffering being inflicted on the sinful people.
Religious services took place in Catania and other villages; during processions the relics of St. Agatha, the Martyr of Catania, were carried around and people flagellated themselves.
Fifty inhabitants of Pedara led by priest Diego Pappalardo attempted to divert a lava flow by breaking up the margins with axes and picks while protecting themselves from the heat through water-soaked hides.
This effort worked but 500 inhabitants of Paternò stopped this effort because their town was threatened by the redirected lava flow.
As a consequence of the incident between Paterno and the people attempting the diversion, it was declared and formally ratified in the 19th century that people diverting a lava flow would be liable for the damage caused by it; this rule was only suspended during the eruption of 1983 although clandestine attempts, sometimes with official backing, had occurred before that year.
There were religious objections to diverting lava flows; such an intervention was viewed as sacrilegious in the context of the relationship between God, man, and nature.
With a volume of lava, the 1669 eruption is Etna's the largest during the last 400 years and its largest historical effusive eruption.
Its lava field is the largest in the volcano's history and the longest flow at Etna during the last 15,000 years.
The behavior of Etna changed after the eruption, presumably due to the large volume of material erupted in the 1669 event and changes in the plumbing system it caused.
After 1669, Etna's eruptions were smaller, shorter, and more sporadic with fewer flank eruptions, and mafic phenocrysts became more common in the lavas.
The 1669 eruption has been defined as the starting point of a century-long cycle of activity that continues to this day and Etna's volcanic products are subdivided into pre-1669 and post-1669 formations in Italy's geological map.
It consists of two overlapping cones or a cone with two summits that was constructed by intense lava bomb and volcanic ash fallout that was observed by eyewitnesses.
Several caves, such as the that is accessible from a small depression on the eruption fissure; Pietra Luna cave, a system of three caves between Belpasso and Nicolosi that contain cave formations; and several lava caves in the flow were formed by the 1669 eruption.
Such caves form when lava flows develop a crust and drain out, leaving an empty space under the crust that forms the cave.
South of the volcano, ash and tephra fallout destroyed large but uncleary stated quantities of olive groves, orchards, pasture, vineyards, and mulberry trees that were used for silkworm rearing.
Contemporaneous sources do not mention any fatalities from the eruption or the earthquakes that accompanied it; later reports of 10,000 – 20,000 fatalities appear to be incorrect and apocryphal.
Contrary to common reports, not all of Catania was destroyed but its outskirts, and the western part of the city sustained damage.
News of the eruption spread to France, Portugal, London, Ireland, and Scotland, where government news pamphlets about the eruption were published.
The 1669 eruption has been portrayed in a number of contemporaneous iconographic works and is the most commonly depicted eruption of Etna in its iconography.
After 1669, the number of large eruptions of Etna decreased and the interest in portraying the volcano and its eruptions waned as a consequence.
Unlike earthquakes, lava flows cause long-lasting damage to land; even a century later the land covered by the lava from the 1669 eruption was barren and today only limited agricultural activity is possible.
As a consequence of this and other eruptions, about 13% of cultivable land south of Etna and below elevation was lost in the 17th century.
Rocks erupted in 1669 have been quarried, especially after the 1693 earthquake when they were used during the reconstruction of the city.
Lava was used to pave roads, for constructions, and later for architectural elements, the production of bituminous conglomerate, concrete, and statues such as the Fountain of the Elephant in Catania.
The lavas erupted in 1669 define a sodic hawaiite suite with two distinct acidic and mafic members that were erupted before and after 20 March, respectively.
A batch of new, more mafic magma that was more buoyant than the residing magma penetrated and traversed the magmatic system, and reached the surface.
The lava flows of 1669 contain up to 18% bubbles, a large proportion and considerably more than expected from lava flows on the surface that might explain the fluidity of the flows that maintained pahoehoe morphology from the vents.
The lava also contains large phenocrysts of plagioclase, as do lavas of other eruptions of the 17th century; these lavas are called .
Records range from administrative documents that were part of the crisis management and the post-crisis management over memoirs to eyewitness reports.
Italian scientist Giovanni Alfonso Borelli (1608–1679) in his 1670 publication and the British ambassador in Constantinople Heneage Finch, 3rd Earl of Winchilsea (1628–1689) in a report to King Charles II of England wrote about the eruption.
The 1669 eruption represents a worst-case scenario of an effusive eruption at Etna; over 500,000 people live in Catania and a similar eruption today would cause about damage.
Apart from the lava, tephera and lapilli associated with explosive activity would damage critical infrastructure close to the vent, disrupt air travel, and impact both human health and the environment.

Mount Taylor is a mountain summit located in the Coast Mountains, in Joffre Lakes Provincial Park, in southwestern British Columbia, Canada.
The mountain's name was submitted by Karl Ricker of the Alpine Club of Canada to honor Ada C. Taylor, a Pemberton pioneer and the first nurse in that community.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.

The Battle of Nevel was a successful military operation conducted by the Red Army in the Pskov Oblast of western Russia and in northern Belarus during World War II, from October 6 to roughly December 16, 1943 although fighting persisted in the area into the new year.
The initial attack created an unexpected breakthrough of the German defenses and liberated the town of Nevel on the first day and subsequent attacks over the next four days created a salient about 35km wide and 25km deep at the junction between German Army Groups North and Center.
Following the Battle for Velikiye Luki in the winter of 1942-43 the 3rd Shock Army had remained on much the same lines east of Novosokolniki and Nevel through the spring and summer.
During this time the railway from Vitebsk through Nevel to Pskov remained in German hands linking the two army groups, although it was under Soviet artillery fire near Novosokolniki.
Although Army Group North had created a ready reserve of five infantry divisions to deal with threats on either end of its front, in early September the Army High Command ordered two of them transferred to Army Group South.
On September 19 Army Group North took over XXXXIII Army Corps from Army Group Center, giving it an additional three divisions, 77km of front, and the responsibility of defending Nevel and Novosokolniki.
Given the nature of the terrain, with many forests, lakes and swamps and few roads even by Russian standards, plus the manpower demands from other sectors, this was impractical.
The offensive began at 0500 hours on October 6 with a reconnaissance-in-force, followed by a 90-minute artillery preparation at 0840 hours and airstrikes by 21st Assault Aviation Regiment.
3rd Shock went over to the attack at 1000 hours on the Zhigary-Shliapy sector, precisely at the boundary between the two German army groups.
28th Rifle Division spearheaded the assault in the first echelon followed closely by an exploitation echelon consisting of the 21st Guards Rifle Division and the 78th Tank Brigade with 54 tanks.
While the attack of the 357th Rifle Division was contained the 78th Tank Brigade, carrying troops of 21st Guards Rifle Division with more mounted on trucks, along with the 163rd Antitank and 827th Howitzer Artillery Regiments, entered the gap and rapidly drove to the west and liberated Nevel from the march.
At the same time the 4th Shock Army, deployed on 3rd Shock's left (south) flank, also launched an attack towards Gorodok.
2nd Guards Rifle Corps led with its 360th Rifle Division, followed by 117th and 16th Lithuanian Divisions and two tank brigades.
83rd Rifle Corps had its 47th Rifle Division up, supported by 234th, 235th and 381st Rifle Divisions and another two tank brigades.
Although there were no further panicked withdrawals by II Luftwaffe Corps the attack gained about 20km but ultimately faltered just short of the Nevel-Gorodok-Vitebsk railroad and highway.
The initial efforts to counterattack failed due to transportation difficulties and superior Soviet strength and on October 9 Küchler decided to wait for reinforcements before trying again.
When Army Group Center proposed merging the remnants of 2nd Luftwaffe Division with an Army division Hitler refused, remarkably stating he did not want to water down good Air Force troops with bad Army troops.
Several days later the two army groups had gathered enough troops to plan a counterattack by two divisions from the north and one from the south but on October 14 Hitler forbade it because he believed the force was not strong enough.
Beginning the next day 3rd Shock Army attacked the villages of Moseevo and Izocha on the northeastern flank of the salient with the 100th Rifle Brigade and eventually all of 28th Rifle Division, supported on the right by the 165th and 379th Rifle Divisions of the newly-arrived 93rd Rifle Corps.
While this attack was held by the German forces, it did capture more favorable jumping-off positions for 6th Guards Army which was moving into the region.
At about this time the boundary between Kalinin Front and Baltic Front (2nd Baltic as of October 20) was shifted to bisect the salient from east to west, and 3rd Shock was reassigned to the latter Front.
On October 19 Army Group Center proposed a joint effort to close the gap but Küchler declared he had no troops to spare due to the threat to Novosokolniki.
Army Group Center then asked permission to proceed alone but Hitler again demurred; on October 26 the Army Group was forced to transfer the panzer division it had been holding in reserve for the counterattack which put paid to all such planning for the foreseeable future.
In an early morning fog on November 2 the 3rd and 4th Shock Armies penetrated the defenses of the left flank of 3rd Panzer Army southwest of Nevel.
After the breakthrough, which opened a 16km-wide gap, 3rd Shock turned to the north behind the flank of 16th Army while 4th Shock moved southwest behind 3rd Panzer Army.
4th Shock's part was described by Maj. Gen. A. F. Beloborodov, commander of 2nd Guards Rifle Corps:On November 4 Hitler called Küchler and Busch to his headquarters.
At the close of the conference he ordered the two army groups to be ready on November 8 to counterattack from north and south and close the gap.
During the day the German force would advance as much as 8km between Lakes Ezerishche and Ordovo and capturing the villages of Blinki, Borok and several others.
Army Group North was scheduled to attack from its side on the morning of November 9 but Küchler protested that all his units were tied down.
Küchler assembled a scratch force of seven battalions which attacked as ordered on November 10, ran into heavy artillery fire and then were thrown back to their line of departure by a counterattack.
While 2nd Guards Corps contained 20th Panzer along the Gorodok-Nevel road, other forces of the Army regrouped and drove deep into the German rear areas.
357th and 119th Rifle Divisions advanced southwestward towards Polotsk while Beloborodov's 381st and 154th Rifle Divisions, supported by 236th Tank Brigade, wheeled southward to assault the German defenses at Gorodok from the west.
3rd Panzer Army moved 113rd Infantry Division to block the advance on Gorodok while several combat groups covered the approaches to Polotsk.
German resistance and deteriorating weather forced a temporary halt to the Soviet advance, but 20th Panzer was also forced to abandon its drive towards Nevel.
By the start of November the 178th, 185th and 357th Divisions had been replaced by the 115th, 146th and 326th Rifle and the 18th Guards Rifle Divisions.
Shortly after the offensive began on November 2 the new commander of 2nd Baltic Front, Army Gen. M. M. Popov, further reinforced the Army with the 119th Guards and the 219th and 245th Rifle Divisions.
Küchler transferred six infantry battalions from 18th Army to cover 16th Army's new rear as its southernmost forces were becoming enveloped from three sides.
The Soviet force headed deep into the German rear area towards its objective, the town of Pustoshka on the Velikiye Luki-Riga railroad line.
By mid-month the 119th Guards Division, flanked by the 146th Division and supported the 118th Tanks, had taken Podbereze and directly threatened to cut the Novosokolniki-Pustoshka rail line.
At around the same time the 6th Guards Army went over to the attack on the east side of the Nevel-Novosokolniki salient in an effort to link up with 3rd Shock and jointly isolate and destroy the XXXXIII Army Corps.
About a week later 3rd Shock made several futile efforts to break through the German defenses east of Pustoshka but made only minimal gains and on November 21 General Popov ordered his entire Front over to the defensive.
However this was preempted beginning on December 29 when General Küchler began a phased withdrawal which took place over six days.
This caught the Soviets by surprise and while 3rd Shock and 6th Guards hastily organized a pursuit this did nothing but harass the retreating Germans.
Despite an untimely thaw making the ground near impassable to vehicles on November 16th the 5th Tank Corps and 3rd Guards Cavalry Corps, backed by rifle divisions of 4th Shock Army, began an attack on November 16 that tore through the defenses of 3rd Panzer Army's 113rd Division and by November 18 reached within 5km of the main road from Gorodok to Nevel.
At 2300 hours that evening three tanks of the 5th Motorized Rifle Brigade with mounted infantry penetrated into Gorodok from the southwest and reportedly destroyed 25 German vehicles and two tanks, but this forward detachment could not be supported and was wiped out by elements of 20th Panzer by 0300 hours on November 19.
For the next week fierce combat raged just west of Gorodok as the Soviet mobile troops repeatedly maneuvered and attacked to take the town.
In response the German command withdrew the remainder of 20th Panzer and part of the 129th Infantry Division from their counterattack positions south of Nevel.
On December 13 the 11th Guards Army attacked the northern tip of 3rd Panzer Army's flank from three sides and in two days had nearly completed encircling two German divisions in separate pockets.
A day later the northern division was encircled and Reinhardt had no choice but to order a breakout which occurred on December 16 at the cost of 2,000 of its 7,000 troops and all of its artillery, heavy weapons and vehicles.
On the same day Hitler conceded the impossibility of sealing off the salient, bringing this phase of the overall battle to a close.

Ahluwalia (also transliterated as Ahluvalia) was a misl, that is, a sovereign state in the Sikh confederacy of Punjab region in present-day India and Pakistan.
Different scholars variously name the misl's founder as Sadho Singh Sandhu, his descendant Bagh Singh, or Bagh Singh's nephew Jassa Singh Ahluwalia.
Even after other misls lost their territories to Ranjit Singh's Sikh Empire, the emperor permitted the descendants of Jassa Singh to retain their estates.
After the British took over the Sikh territories in 1846, Jassa Singh's descendants became the ruling family of the Kapurthala State.
In the late 19th century, other Kalals also adopted the Ahluwalia identity, as part of a Sanskritisation process to improve their social status, resulting in the formation of the Ahluwalia caste.
They gave up their traditional occupations, as they gained political power and as the colonial British administration started regulating distribution and sale of liquor.
For example, a legendary account traces the ancestry of the Kapurthala royal family to the Bhatti Rajput royal family of Jaisalmer (and ultimately to Krishna through Salibahan).
According to this narrative, a group of Bhattis migrated to Punjab, where they came to be known as Jats, and became Sikhs.
The account states that Sadho Singh and his four sons married into Kalal families, because of which the family came to be known as Ahluwalia.
Lepel Griffin (1873), a British administrator who wrote on the history of Punjab's rulers, dismissed this account connecting the Ahluwalias to the Jaisalmer royal family as spurious.

The Carrier Linguistic Society (CLS), previously known as the Carrier Linguistic Committee, is a First Nations Organization that was incorporated into the Societies Act of British Columbia in 1973.
Both the CLS and the Nak'azdli band are also officially recognised by the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council as the official language authorities for the Nak’azdli Community.
The Carrier Linguistics Society is credited with the creation and implementation of the Carrier Linguistic Committee writing system, which is influenced by the Latin alphabet and is widely regarded as the most popularly used Dakelh/Carrier writing system.
Additionally, the CLS has published various Carrier and English-Carrier bilingual dictionaries and primers intended for both bilingual language learning and classroom language acquisition in several different Carrier dialects.
They have also published multiple Carrier-translated short stories, texts, and oral transmissions meant to facilitate language learning that, like the dictionaries and primers, are available in several different Carrier dialects.
Many of these texts are available for purchase at the CLS bookstore based in Fort St. James, which also includes multiple Carrier and English-Carrier bilingual workbooks, CDs and DVDs, songbooks, and storybooks.
The Carrier Linguistic Society also worked in collaboration with Nak’azdli Elders and the First Peoples' Cultural Council to establish an online Dakelh language archiving, teaching, and learning platform on the website FirstVoices.
The CLS has also played a large role in the curriculum development and the implementation of Carrier language classes being taught at eight local schools and worked in collaboration with the University of Northern British Columbia to establish Carrier language classes and the Education Diploma in a First Nations Language and Culture (Dakelh / Carrier) at the University of Northern British Columbia.
Pietro Fenoglio (Turin, 3 May 1865 - Corio, 22 August 1927) was an Italian architect and engineer, considered one of the most important pioneers of Art Nouveau in Italy.
He took advantage of the very favorable economic climate to become one of the style's most fervent supporters in northern Italy before the First World War.
Building little after 1912, Fenoglio parlayed his success as a designer into a diverse set of economic ventures, eventually landing him the directorship of a bank in 1915.
His father Giovanni was an administrator, while his mother Giacinta (née Guillot) was the daughter of the former Préfect of Chambéry, who had moved to Turin after Chambéry had been annexed by France in the Treaty of Turin in 1860.
After studying civil engineering under Carlo Ceppi at the Regia Scuola di Applicazione per gli Ingegneri di Torino (now the Politecnico di Torino), from which he graduated in 1889, he worked first for the firm of Brayda, Boggio and Reyend before forming his own firm.
Sensing the fashion of the time, however, his interest subsequently turned to Art Nouveau, and after 1900 he became the leading protagonist of the style in Turin.
Commissions in a period of rapid economic expansion and prosperity were plentiful and Fenoglio became extremely prolific, establishing his studio at 60, Via XX Settembre, where he designed some of the major Italian examples of Art Nouveau.
Over the course of thirteen years he designed and built over three hundred projects for villas and palaces, many of which were concentrated in the area centered on the Corso Francia.
Fenoglio's work became increasingly recognizable by his strategic use of pastel colors, the ornament that alternates between floral subjects and circular geometric elements, and from the wide use of cement frameworks combined with the sometimes-daring decorative elegance of iron and glass.
At the same time, the intense spate of construction activity meant that he also became part of the emerging Turin industrial and financial bourgeoisie, consolidating his influence in the construction sector.
Fenoglio became vice-president of the well-known Impresa Porcheddu, of the Società Anonima Cementi del Monferrato, and a partner in the Accomandita Ceirano & Company, and managing director of the emerging Banca Commerciale Italiana.
Other buildings worthy of note that reproduce decorative elements deriving from the success of the Casa Fenoglio-Lafleur are the Casa Galateri, one of the many commissioned by the same client, recognizable for the remarkable oriel bay overlooking the Via Cibrario; and the no-less-remarkable Casa Rossi-Galateri on the Via Passalacqua.
Fenoglio was especially known for the number of Art Nouveau apartment buildings during this period: Casa Rossi Galateri (1903), Casa Rey (1904), Casa Boffa/Costa (1904), Casa Macciotta (1904), Casa Balbis (1905), Casa Ina (1906), Casa Guelpa (1907), and the council houses of via Marco Polo (1904), realized in collaboration with the architects Vicary and Molli.
After 1904, his work as a designer expanded into the nascent world of Italian industry, which found Turin a favorable place to establish new companies.
Among the best known commissions of Fenoglio's industrial architecture are the Conceria Fiorio (1900), the Stabilimento Boero (1905), the Fonderie Ballada (1906), the car factory of Officine Diatto (1907) and the large building of the first Italian brewery Bosio & Caratsch, with the attached manor house (1907).
Thanks to his newly-acquired experience in the field of industrial plant design, Fenoglio was also entrusted with of the vast project of the Leumann Village, the working-class neighborhood in nearby Collegno where, in addition to the Cotonificio Leumann, he built the houses and the school and the church of Santa Elisabetta, one of the handful of ecclesiastical structures in the world built in Art Nouveau.
In the Monferrato area, together with the engineer Giovanni Antonio Porcheddu, he designed the first factory for the fiber cement company Eternit di Borgo Ronzone.
He was also politically active, holding positions as city councilman and consultant for the study of the new town plan that was completed in 1908.
In 1912 he also joined the Board of Directors of the Banca Commerciale Italiana and in 1915, when the then-managing director Otto Joel was removed from his position due to his German origins, which were incompatible with the nationalistic climate following Italian entry into the First World War, he was replaced by Fenoglio himself along together with Giuseppe Toeplitz.
In this capacity Fenoglio continued to promote quality architecture by actively participating in the bank's expansion and construction of branch offices, including enventually the construction of the new headquarters in Piazza Colonna in Rome, for which he appointed young Marcello Piacentini as director of works.
Piacentini soon became the one of the principal figures in the emergence of the rationalist architecture that characterized the next twenty years in Italy.
The 310th Infantry Regiment was a National Army Infantry Regiment first organized for service in World War I as part of the 78th Division.
Since then it has served as a training Regiment, training Army Reserve and Army National Guard Soldiers for service in support of the Global War on Terror.
The Regiment was constituted 5 August 1917 in the National Army as the 310th Infantry and assigned to the 155th Infantry Brigade of the 78th Division.

The Regiment was reconstituted in the Organized Reserves as the 310th Infantry on 24 June 1921 and reassigned to the 78th Division (later redesignated as the 78th Infantry Division) in the First Corps Area.
The Regiment normally conducted summer training at Camp Dix with the 16th and 18th Infantry Regiments or at Plattsburg Barracks with the 26th Infantry Regiment.
The Regiment was ordered into active military service 15 August 1942 and reorganized at Camp Butner, North Carolina, using a cadre provided by the 2nd Infantry Division.
The Regiment was reconstituted on 17 December 1946 in the Organized Reserves with Headquarters in Jersey City, New Jersey, under TOE 29-7T.
On 9 November 1955 the Regimental Headquarters was moved to Kearny, New Jersey and then to Lodi, New Jersey on 12 October 1961.

Currently, the department is responsible for administering the collection of the North Carolina state income tax, gasoline tax, sales tax, beverage tax, inheritance tax, .
In 1849, North Carolina first imposed an income tax of three percent of interest, dividends, profits, wages, and salaries and a fixed fee of $3.00 on citizens with incomes in excess of $500.
Although the income tax provide a major portion of the state revenue, the income taxes were rarely collected after the civil war due to a lack of a way to verify income sources.
When the North Carolina Constitution was rewritten after the Civil War in 1868, the North Carolina State Tax Commission was authorized to tax trades, professions, franchises, and incomes.
In 1903, the State Tax Commission recommended transferring property tax assessments to local authorities vice the state and income, license, franchise, and inheritance taxes would remain with the state.
As part of this new tax legislation, the assembly created the Department of Revenue to administer, enforce and collect the income tax.
When the financing of schools, roads, and prisons was shifted from local government to state government responsibility in the 1930s, a retail sales tax of three percent was enacted to pay for it with the Department of Revenue responsible for collecting it.
While the position was initially created in 1921 to be nominated by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate and elected in the same manner as other public offices in 1924, this was changed in 1929 to allow the Governor to appoint the commissioner as it has been done since then.

Pacific Underground is a New Zealand performing arts collective, founded in 1993 in Christchurch, New Zealand, to produce contemporary performing art that reflects the group's Pacific Island heritage.
Pacific Underground has produced plays, music, workshops and events and continues to be an active influence on performing arts culture within New Zealand.
The founding members of Pacific Underground were sisters Mishelle and Tanya Muagutitui'a along with Oscar Kightley, Simon Small, Michael Hodgson and Erolia Ifopo.
This play was groundbreaking partly because of its humour and partly because of the theme of a rift between the generations: those born in Samoa, and those born in New Zealand.
Pacific Underground were an intrinsic part of the Christchurch Arts Centre with an office for many years at the Dux de Lux, famous to students as a live music venue.
The company has had many different performers, directors and production people over the years, many of whom have continued in the arts the film and TV industry.
Well-known New Zealand artists who started out with Pacific Underground include Oscar Kightley, David Fane, Shimpal Lelisi, who are all members of the Naked Samoans.
Xanthi railway station () is a railway station that servers the city of Xanthi, in Xanthi in East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece.
Services from Thessaloniki and Alexandroupolis were cut back from six to just two trains a day, reducing the reliability of services, and passenger numbers.
On the 25 September 2016, as part of the planned upgrade ‘reorganization’ of the rail network, the Drama-Xanthi rail link was be suspended.
Between July 2005 and February 2011 the Friendship Express, (an international InterCity train jointly operated by the Turkish State Railways (TCDD) and TrainOSE S.A. linking Istanbul's Sirkeci Terminal, Turkey and Thessaloniki, Greece) made scheduled stops at Xanthi.
In linguistics, negative raising is a phenomenon that concerns the raising of negation from the embedded or subordinate clause of certain predicates to the matrix or main clause.
The higher copy of the negation, in the matrix clause, is pronounced; but the semantic meaning is interpreted as though it were present in the embedded clause.
This syntactic approach was supported in the early beginnings by evidence provided by Robin Lakoff, who used, in part, strong/strict Polarity items as proof.
Chris Collins and Paul Postal have also written in more recent times in defense of the classical argumentation to negative raising.
This is because even with the raising of the negation to the matrix clause, both sentences convey the same meaning, thus the matrix clause negation is to be interpreted as if it were within the embedded clause.
The English language has a rich inventory of operators; these operators (in this case NEG specifically), differ from each other in terms of their scope orders with respect to other operators (in this case Verb).
When we look at negative raising - we are thus looking at the operator NEG, and its scope over the Verbs in a phrase.
This tree illustrates how NEG can be raised from the embedded clause to the Matrix clause; thus it can be pronounced in the higher position while retaining its scope from the lower position.
negative raising works similar to English in Modern Greek but there appears to be clearer evidence of its existence in the language.
This clause cannot stand as an independent clause if the negation is not present, showing that the pair appear together in the same context (for it to be grammatical, another verb form would have to be used).
When analyzing French tag questions, the tags 'oui' or 'non' are both seen with affirmative statements, while the tag 'non' is only selected by negative statements.
negative raising can be demonstrated through the observation that when the negation is in the embedded clause, it is able to take a tag.
Through this depiction, with both the matrix clause negation in ii) and embedded clause negation in iii) possessing the ability to take a tag, evidence is given that ii) surfaces via negative raising from the structures like iii).
In this data, it appears that the way in which the possible responses 'si'/'oui' are distributed relies upon the polarity of that to which it is a response.
This prompts evidence that they depict the same meaning despite the movement of the negation in the phrase, and thus, both structures originating their negation in the embedded clause.
What this means is that if the NPI were to occur in the matrix clause and the negator in the embedded clause, it would be considered to be ungrammatical, as it would not be within the scope domain of the negator.
Another aspect which differentiates Japanese from English, in reference to Japanese NPIs, is that NPIs are considered to be legitimate regardless of whether they appear in the subject or the object position in simple verbal clauses.
Only the upper copy of the word is pronounced, so there is no possibility of an incorrect double negation analysis of the meaning.
This can be seen as analogous to English sentences that contain a NEG internal to the DP combined with an NPI.

Eugen Wiedmaier (16 November 1900 – 14 March 1940) was a German political activist and party official (KPD) who engaged in anti-fascist resistance after 1933.
Following six years in solitary confinement, he died while detained at the main penitentiary in Ludwigsburg, during the first part of 1940.
As the USDP itself broke apart, in 1919 he joined the newly launched Communist Party (KPD), remaining a member at least till the party was outlawed in 1933.
In 1923, following the French military occupation of the Ruhr the KJD leadership sent him to the region as a party instructor.
1923 was also the year in which Eugen Wiedmaier married Maria Siegloch (1896–1977), the daughter of a railway worker and, like Wiedmaier, a communist activist originally from Zuffenhausen.
She came to the partnership with a son from her first marriage, but there is no mention of any children born from the marriage of Eugen and Maria Wiedmaier.
Although the Commuist Party was now banned, Wiedmaier moved in February 1933 to the Magdeburg region, accepting a Central Committee appointment as a party instructor with responsibilities extending across central-southern Germany, notably Thuringia and Saxony.
It was here that he was arrested, together with other party activists and officials, at a clandestine meeting in Karlsruhe on 26 January 1934.
It turned out that a party courier from Berlin whom they had been expecting to join them was a police spy.
Communist networks after 1933 were by definition highly secretive, making their detailed operational arrangements hard to determine for the authorities and, indeed, for subsequent researchers.
Although he had by this time been incarcerated for more that two years, Wiedmaier was among those tried, convicted and sentenced.
In practical terms, this could be seen as a retrial: it involved an increase of the jail sentence he was already serving to a total length of twelve and a half years.

The Klimo Library (), Klimo Collection () or Episcopal Library () established in 1774 is the first public library of Hungary.
After that, the building of the library and its collection were given to the university by Bishop Gyula Zichy for eternal use.
From 1924, the library was the main university library of the University of Pécs (previously Elisabeth University of Bratislava) until 2010, when the most of the university's collection was migrated to the University Library of Pécs and Centre for Learning.
In 10th of August 1731, he began his studies at the St. Stephen seminary (Szent István Papnevelő Intézet) where he learned theology and liberal arts for two years.
On 21st of March 1733, he was ordained as deacon and on the 30th of May 1733, Archbishop Imre Esterházy ordained him as priest in Vedrőd.
He was confirmed on the 15th of November 1751, and ordained as bishop on the 5th of March 1752 by Archbishop Franjo Klobusiczky in Pest.
After he took his position, Maria Theresa offered him – and his brother (János and Márton), as well as his cousin (Ádám) – a nobiliary title.
After the death of Archbishop Ferenc Barkóczy in 1765, Maria Theresa offered him the position of Archbishop of Esztergom but Klimó rejected that, referring to his illness as being the cause.
Even though – as a serf family descendant – he understood their point of view, he could not free the city because of his episcopal vow.
From the start of his term (1752) till his death (1777), the number of elementary schools were increased from 72 to 134.
Klimó supported many things during his term, such as the music of the episcopal see, literature, poetry and the renovation and decoration of the Cathedral of Pécs.
The predecessor of György Klimó, Bishop Zsigmond Berényi, who was the head of the episcopal see from 1736 until 1748 had a private library with around 3000 volumes, mostly theological, liturgical, legal and history works.
With around a thousand volumes of the Chapter of the Cathedral, also in the same subject, the sum thereof constituted the basis of the library to which Bishop György Klimó added his own collection.
Journals of that time – such as the Pressburger Zeitung and the Wienerisches Diarium – wrote that the collection of the library contained about 20.000 volumes.
He collected books systematically, considering the needs of the faculties of the future university, which was not established in his lifetime.
The most important and basic work of every discipline of the 18th century could and can be found in the library.
Various fields, such as catholic and protestant theology, history, natural sciences and medicine, mathematics, linguistics and works of contemporary banned authors.
Their successors did not take care of the library, no new purchases were made, therefore the institution finished operating as a public library.
After that, the library was increased mostly only by presents bequests, mainly by books according to the interest of the priests in the episcopal see.
The university’s library started operating in 1915 in Pozsony and after the abolishment of the university, its rich collection (around 65.000 volumes), however, remained in Pozsony.
The university settled down in Pécs and its library was placed in the building of the Klimo Library which had been given to the university by Bishop Gyula Zichy.
Zichy also gave the university the Klimo Library’s circa 33.000 volumes for eternal use, with the 7000 volumes private collection of the Chapter of the Cathedral as well.
Even though the library of the university and the Klimo Collection were in the same building, the collections were placed and used separately.
Thanks to many donations from Hungarian and foreign libraries and regular persons, the number of volumes of the university library increased relatively fast.
From 1930 until 1934, József Fitz, one of the most prominent figures of the Hungarian librarianship, was the director of the university, who faced serious problems during his term.
It is due to him that the modest library of the University of Pécs, during a relatively short time, closed up along with the best working libraries of the country.
During his time, around 1400 students were studying at the university and the capacity of the library’s reading room was only 24 people.
In order to have a reliable survey of the stock of books, a complete revision was needed, and making a catalogue of the whole library was necessary.
The university library was operating as a general university library, which meant it collected books in general subjects in order to satisfy the needs of the university’s citizens.
From that time onwards, the library also became a nation-wide scientific library, as well as a regional library for South-Transdanubia and a special library for political science and jurisprudence.
The scope of the library’s duties also encompassed the support of the lecturers and students of the university with giving them the necessary documents in connection with their works.
Most of the documents were lendable except the original Klimo Library collection, those manuscripts, curiosities, periodicals and books which had been published before 1850.
Nowadays, the Klimo Library is still an open library, but because of its collection, it is mostly visited by researchers only.
It recalls the gothic style of the medieval university of Pécs and tells us the history of the University of Pécs and its predecessors’.
Unfortunately, only the first volume was finished which contains only the list of the authors of the collection in alphabetical order.
The library preserves eight codices, 25 incunabula from the 15th century, 250 antiqua from the 16th century and more than two-hundred old Hungarian prints made before 1711.
As part of the Episcopal Collection, there is a globe and a celestial globe which were made in Amsterdam in 1707.
The station was opened to the public on 10 December, 2019 along with three other Red Line stations, over six months after the opening of the line's first 13 stations.
It is endemism to the island of Borneo where it is found in Sarawak, Brunei Darussalam, Kalimantan Barat, Kalimantan Timur and Kalimantan Utara.
It has smooth bark, glossy green, lance-shaped to egg-shaped or elliptical leaves, flower buds in groups of between nine and fifteen, white flowers and cup-shaped, hemispherical or conical fruit.
The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils in groups of between nine and fifteen on an unbranched peduncle long, the individual buds on pedicels up to long.

Francisco González Cruz (born August 12, 1993) is a Mexican luchador, or professional wrestler, who works under the ring name Chamuel.
In 2017 he joined CMLL and in 2019, as part of the CMLL 86th Anniversary Show, he lost his mask to Microman.
The two portrayed a masked, monster/doll due with Chamuel initially wearing a mask that resembled a ventriloquist's dummy but would later change to an evil clown mask.
In his first recorded match Chamuel and Henry teamed up with Monsther and Chucky to defeat Gran Alebrije, Pequeño Cuije, Don Pollo, and Pollito.
In July he was one of eight men risking their mask on the outcome of a steel cage match, but was not involved in the final portion of the match, having escaped earlier on.
Chamuel capped off 2012 by surviving another steel cage match with his mask, watching as The Medic's II was unmasked at the end of the match.
Chamuel and the Micro-Estrellas would appear on various CMLL shows, as well as make special appearances on the Mexican independent circuit, such as The Crash Lucha Libre, Promociones El Cholo, or Desastre Total Ultraviolento.
In the months following the anniversary Microman and Chamuel began a long running storyline feud, which often saw Chamuel either tear Microman's mask open or steal it during a match.
The Microman/Chamuel feud led to the first one-on-one match in the Micro division on August 30, 2019 as part of CMLL's International Gran Prix.
The match ended in a disqualification as Chamuel was disqualified for throwing his mask to Microman in an attempt to fool the referee.
In addition to his engagement as a concert singer at home and abroad, he was a lecturer at the music academies in Freiburg and Karlsruhe for many years.

NGC 585 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Cetus , which is about 245 million light-years from the Milky Way 's center.
It is estimated to be 451 million light years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of approximately 120,000 light years.
It is surrounded by the Serbian municipality of Priboj, in Zlatibor District, making it an exclave of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and an enclave within Serbia, 1130 m from the rest of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
However, the land of Međurečje is registered in the municipality of Rudo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), where the populace of Međurečje pays its land tax.
Historic facts about the formation of the enclave within the territory of Serbia are not known, but it is believed to be tied to the period after the 1878 Congress of Berlin, when the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires were sharing the border and Austria-Hungary was allowed to annex Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Ventricular natriuretic peptide or brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), also known as B-type natriuretic peptide, is a hormone secreted by cardiomyocytes in the heart ventricles in response to stretching caused by increased ventricular blood volume.
The 32-amino acid polypeptide BNP is secreted attached to a 76–amino acid N-terminal fragment in the prohormone called NT-proBNP (BNPT), which is biologically inactive.
Once released, BNP binds to and activates the atrial natriuretic factor receptor NPRA, and to a lesser extent NPRB, in a fashion similar to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) but with 10-fold lower affinity.
The biological half-life of BNP, however, is twice as long as that of ANP, and that of NT-proBNP is even longer, making these peptides better targets than ANP for diagnostic blood testing.
The physiologic actions of BNP are similar to those of ANP and include decrease in systemic vascular resistance and central venous pressure as well as an increase in natriuresis.
The net effect of these peptides is a decrease in blood pressure due to the decrease in systemic vascular resistance and, thus, afterload.
Additionally, the actions of both BNP and ANP result in a decrease in cardiac output due to an overall decrease in central venous pressure and preload as a result of the reduction in blood volume that follows natriuresis and diuresis.
Removal of the 25-residue N-terminal signal peptide generates the prohormone, proBNP, which is stored intracellularly as an O-linked glycoprotein; proBNP is subsequently cleaved between arginine-102 and serine-103 by a specific convertase (probably furin or corin) into NT-proBNP and the biologically active 32-amino acid polypeptide BNP-32, which are secreted into the blood in equimolar amounts.
Since the actions of BNP are mediated via the ANP receptors, the physiologic effects of BNP are identical to those of ANP.
A cutoff of 100 pg/ml has a sensitivity of approximately 100%, a negative predictive value of approximately 100%, a specificity of 90%, and a positive predictive value of 78% according to data from the United Kingdom.
NT-proBNP is the inactive molecule resulting from cleavage of the prohormone Pro-BNP and is reliant solely on the kidney for excretion.
There is a diagnostic 'gray area', often defined as between 100 and 500 pg/mL, for which the test is considered inconclusive, but, in general, levels above 500 pg/ml are considered to be an indicator of heart failure.
This so-called gray zone has been addressed in several studies, and using clinical history or other available simple tools can help make the diagnosis.
A recent meta-analysis concerning effects of BNP testing on clinical outcomes of patients presenting to the emergency department with acute dyspnea revealed that BNP testing led to a decrease in admission rates and decrease in mean length of stay, although neither was statistically significant.
When interpreting an elevated BNP level, it is useful to remember that values may be elevated due to factors other than heart failure.
Blockade of neprilysin, a protease known to degrade members of the natriuretic peptide family, has also been suggested as a possible treatment for heart failure.
Dual administration of neprilysin inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers has been shown to be advantageous to ACE inhibitors, the current first-line therapy, in multiple settings.
In 2017, having progressed through all of the club's youth sides, he was introduced into Köln's U21 team competing in the fourth-tier Regionalliga West.
This is a list of Members of Parliament (MPs) elected to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom by English constituencies for the Fifty-Eighth Parliament of the United Kingdom (2019–present).

They have stems with pseudomonopodial branching in which unequal binary branching produces the appearance of a main stem with secondary side branches.
Sporangia are borne at the bases or in the axils of special spore-bearing leaves (sporophylls), which are notably different from the normal leaves, and are grouped into compact terminal structures (strobili).
Several different ways of representing this situation taxonomically have been used, and are still in use , including three subfamilies with multiple genera, and three genera with multiple subgeneric divisions.
Saskia A. Hogenhout FRES (born 1969), is an Dutch professor of entomology and ecology specialising in molecular plant, microbe and insect interactions.
Hogenhout was educated at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam with an MSc in Biology in 1994, her PhD looked at the molecular basis of luteovirus-aphid interactions and was awarded at Wageningen University in 1999.
She moved to Ohio State University to be assistant and then associate professor and since 2007 has been Group Leader in plant health at the John Innes Centre in Norwich.
In 2013, she was appointed honorary professor at the University of East Anglia, and in 2018, she was made professor by special appointment at the University of Amsterdam.
Her group discovered the key virulence protein SAP54 which phytoplasma bacteria use to manipulate the flowering of plants, the bacteria is carried between plants by plant feeding insects such as leafhoppers.
Hogenhout found that the aphid can adapt the virulence proteins it produces in response to the plant species it is feeding on; and as it can reproduce asexually, producing a clone of genetically identical offspring, local populations of aphids can adapt quickly to their environment.
Hogenhout's research has also looked at the responses of plants to insect feeding, she showed that plants take in calcium to damaged plant cells in the site where aphid feeding stylets penetrate, the cells would then mobilise further calcium in response to this alarm.
The research will find out more information about the disease such as symptoms and epidemiology, and look into how the disease may be transmitted by insects such as leafhoppers and the transport of commercial plants by humans.
Corellon is the creator and preserver of the elven race, and governs those things held in the highest esteem among elves.
Corellon's symbol was originally a crescent moon; in the 4th edition Corellon's symbol is a silver star on a blue field.
In many campaign settings, the elven pantheon of gods (also known as the Seldarine) consists of the leader Corellon Larethian, as well as Aerdrie Faenya, Deep Sashelas, Erevan Ilesere, Fenmarel Mestarine, Hanali Celanil, Labelas Enoreth, Rillifane Rallathil, Sehanine Moonbow, and Solonor Thelandira.
Some myths claim that Corellon gave birth to the rest of the elven pantheon while in a female aspect, while others claim that Corellon fathered them with Sehanine Moonbow.
Because of the god's keen friendship with the Seelie Court, Corellon is often at odds with the Queen of Air and Darkness.
Corellon is on good terms with Ioun (Corellon is patron of arcane magic and she of its study), and is therefore a potential foe of Vecna.
Corellon desires to protect and preserve the elven race, return to the elven people their lost artistic heritage, and to thwart the schemes of the drow and the orcs.
The Fellowship of the Forgotten Flower is a loosely structured organization made of elven knights dedicated to the recovery of lost elven relics from long-abandoned elven realms.
The Seekers of the Misty Isle are an elite order of elves dedicated to finding the Misty Isle which was whisked away by the deities Gruumsh and Kurtulmak.
Most temples are happy to lend aid to traveling elves and any other race that plans to do harm to the drow.
The art is not destroyed; sometimes it is physically transferred to the Upper Planes for elves to enjoy in the afterlife, while other times it is used to decorate Corellon's temples.
Corellon's rituals are integrated with the major events of elven life, such as births, coming of age rites, weddings, and funerals.
Following the War of the Spider Queen series, Lisa Smedman's The Lady Penitent trilogy continues the story of drow in the Forgotten Realms.
A mixed force of Eilistraee's Protectors, Nightshadows and drow wizards go on a raid on the main temple of Kiaransalee, the drow death goddess.
Qilué and Eilistraee try to save entire drow race from Wendonai's taint, but Qilué is killed by Halisstra Melarn while Eilistraee is possessing her body (supposedly killing the goddess as well), dooming their attempt to failure.
Meanwhile, Q'arlynd Melarn succeeds in re-transforming the descendants of Miyeritar and followers of Eilistraee from drow to dark elves, whereafter Corellon Larethian takes this new elven subrace under his protection.
Eilistraee has directly manifested to her followers through her avatar, and the dark elves whom her father protected during her absence have returned under her protection.
Many of us have been bending our characters’ genders and sexual orientations for years, but it’s terrific to see the game officially embrace this.

In contrast to the previous parodies, the new social life was strictly ritualized with many participants, the style more solemn and the music more ambitious.
Bellman continued to work with the work, adding, among other things, long descriptions of nature in alexandrines in the style of James Thomson.
However, the work was not printed until the end of 1783, and new advertisements pointed to its suitability as a Christmas present.
The brothers were friends of Bellman's; Elias had studied painting, especially Hogarth's, in London and had come back to Stockholm in 1780.
The play takes place around a temple dedicated to Bacchus, the god of wine, on an island of mixed flora and fauna: there are pine trees and crows as well as parrots and almond trees.
Around the temple, a celebration is being commemorated by the dead Movitz, initially by a group of [backers] under the leadership of the highly pregnant Ulla Winblad.
The work begins with a stormy night, but at dawn the storm passes and everything turns into rural idyll, and the readers are informed that it is Movitz who is the father of Ulla's children, and she describes how it came to be in this particular place.
When they arrive, together with barrels of drink, songs and celebrations are held in honour first of the dead, then of Trundman and the brothers, Ulla and the priests, the order's chancellor Planberg, and finally the head of the order, Janke Jensen.
The rituals are interrupted from time to time by various intermezzos, but eventually fade out completely as Ulla gives birth to a new Movitz, and everything turns into a happy party.
The extended version seems to have become difficult to play; where the original version could be performed in one hour, the final required at least two.
The entire extension is due to longer monologues and additional pieces of music, making it rather static as a piece of theatre.
The added landscape depictions are partly based on the nature being painted as a picture, which, however, must at the same time be animated and linked together with the speaker's emotions.
Thus, when the initial storm is portrayed by the Bacchus priestess, it is not only a storm, but also her own anxiety and terror as described, in pre-romantic style.
When the storm has subsided, the priestesses' attitude to the surroundings also changes, and the now pastoral landscape instead evokes happy memories of past happiness, when Movitz with roses in his hair used to honour the wine god with song.
In the closing passage, spoken by Janke Jensen, it is no longer a question of depicting nature: now a mythological tableau is painted, with Movitz on Mount Olympus together with ancient gods and heroes such as Mars, Pompey, and Hannibal.
Suddenly he turns back to mortality, and goes on to portray Movitz's earthly existence as a drunkard, until he is interrupted by Ulla giving birth to his and Movitz's children, who resemble him right down to his red nose.
The competition was created in December 2019 by the Royal Spanish Football Federation with the same format as the established for the 2019–20 men's tournament.

The Arvo Pärt Centre () is a foundation responsible for maintaining the personal archive of classical composer Arvo Pärt and operating as an information centre on the composer and his works.
In October 2018 the new building of the centre, designed by Spanish architects Fuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobejano from the architecture and design firm Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos, was opened to the public.
The idea to create a separate institution for the personal archive of Arvo Pärt arose from the need to ensure the composer permanent access to his collections and at the same time to prepare these collections for long-term preservation and for public research.
The centre was established by Arvo Pärt and his family in 2010 when the composer had returned to Estonia after living in Germany since 1981.
The Arvo Pärt Centre was founded in the village of Laulasmaa because at his return to Estonia Arvo Pärt had chosen this coastal location as his permanent place of residence.
In 2009 a residential building was bought to house the archive and to serve as a future location of the centre.
For the first eight years the main tasks of the centre were organising the archive, creating metadata and a digital information retrieval system.
Due to the preparatory stages of work and general lack of space the centre was in most part closed to the public until late 2018.
To create facilities for research and educational programmes and to develop the centre into a meeting place for music lovers with a proper concert hall, an international two-stage architectural competition was announced in 2013.
A Spanish architecture and design firm Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos (led by Fuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobejano) was declared the winner of the competition on 20 June 2014 by the President of Estonia Toomas Hendrik Ilves.
The cornerstone was laid on 19 June 2017 at a festive ceremony attended among others by Arvo Pärt, Prime Minister Jüri Ratas and Minister of Culture Indrek Saar.
The guests were greeted by Arvo Pärt, Chairman of the Board Michael Pärt, Managing Director Anu Kivilo, and architects Fuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobejano.
The main guests speaking at the event were President of Estonia Kersti Kaljulaid, Vice-President of the European Commission Andrus Ansip and Minister of Culture Indrek Saar.
The first public concert in the centre took place the following day, 14 October 2018, with American violinist Anne Akiko Meyers accompanied on a piano by Akira Eguchi.
The majority of the archival materials are original documents from the composer’s family – handwritten documents related to his creative work date back to 1970s.
Many earlier documents from 1950s to 1970s are currently located at other memory institutions of Estonia or in private hands but the Arvo Pärt Centre has either paper or digital copies of most of them.
Researchers can view lists of the archive content on the centre's web site but even digital materials are accessible only on location.
The majority of books in the collection are on Orthodox theology and spirituality, which has been an important source of inspiration for Arvo Pärt.
The library also collects and stores CDs with Arvo Pärt's music, printed scores of his works, and books about his life and music.
Based on the personal collections in the centre and on close collaboration with the composer and his family the centre also operates as an international information centre on Arvo Pärt, making available the most authoritative and up-to-date information on his life and works.
The new building of the Arvo Pärt Centre houses also a concert hall with 150 seats, ideal for chamber music concerts.
The focus of the concert programme is on introducing musicians from Estonia and abroad who have had a close collaboration with Arvo Pärt over the years.
In the first two seasons there have been concerts by violinist Anne Akiko Meyers, countertenor David James from the Hilliard Ensemble, the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, early music ensemble Hortus Musicus, vocal ensemble Vox Clamantis, and many others.
Every August since 2011 the Arvo Pärt Centre has organised film evenings with a selection of films featuring Arvo Pärt's music.
The building makes use of various geometrical (mostly pentagonal) structures and shapes, and largely due to the sinuous curved walls forms a continuity without a clear beginning or end.
The centre has two unusual architectural elements – a minimal chapel in one of the patios, and a slender sightseeing tower next to the building.

is a particularly developed cove over a length of eleven kilometers on the Saguenay River in the region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean in Quebec, Canada.
According to the Second Saguenay theory, this vast depression is the extension of the fault and collapse ditch of the Kenogami Lake which is located upstream less than twenty kilometers.
Long before the landing in 1838 of the Charlevoix settlers, founders of the Saint-Alexis-sur-l'Islet parish, this haven sheltered at the end of the bay constitutes a place of meeting and exchanges for the Amerindian populations.
The two villages that have become modest urban centers in the 20th century merge before finding themselves in the center of the district of La Baie within the big city of Saguenay.
It is through this bay that the bauxite of the aluminum smelters of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean transits to the port facilities of to be discharged subsequently carried by train to the various factories of Rio Tinto Alcan.
Since September 2009, the tourist potential of the bay has been exploited with the inauguration of a port of call for cruise ships.
the current follows the course of the Saguenay River on eastward to Tadoussac where it merges with the Estuary of Saint Lawrence.
On the surface, a layer of slightly salty water which comes from the rivers which flow into the fjord, and in depth, the salty and cold water which, here in this upstream basin, is slowly renewed at a rate close to the annual after entering the Saguenay by tidal effect from the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
The presence of these two layers separated by a halocline thickness promotes a rich biodiversity and makes it a very favorable environment for life.

The Weber Manuscript, also called Weber Manuscripts, is a collection of nine, possibly eleven, incomplete ancient Indian treatises written mostly in classical Sanskrit that were found buried within a Buddhist monument in northwestern China in late 19th-century.
It is named after the Moravian missionary F. Weber who acquired the set from an Afghani merchant in Ladakh, and then forwarded it to the German Indologist and philologist Rudolf Hoernlé in Calcutta.
The original texts that were copied to produce these manuscripts were likely considerably older Indian texts, at least one between 3rd-century BCE and pre-2nd-century CE.
The Weber Manuscript is notable for having been written on two types of paper – Central Asian and Nepalese, attesting to the spread of paper technology outside of interior China and its use for Indian religious texts by the 5th– or 6th-century.
The scribes were likely Buddhist because the Weber Manuscript was discovered in the ruins of a Buddhist monastery, the treatises include verses that praise the Buddha though the predominant language isn't Pali, is either mostly accurate classical Sanskrit or occasionally a crude mix of Pali and Sanskrit.
At that time, based on what he was told, he reported that the manuscript was discovered 60 miles south of Yarkand.
However, interviews and surveys conducted between 1893 and 1900, persuaded Hoernle that the Weber Manuscript came from Kucha, the same location as the Bower Manuscript.
These manuscript bundles were likely opened by the treasure hunters, carelessly examined, got jumbled as they put them back into separate parts to sell.
The Russian portion came to be called the Petrovski Manuscript and became a part of the Sanskrit manuscripts collection in Saint Petersburg.
The Petrovski Manuscript – also referred to as Petrovsky Manuscript, St Petersburg Asiatic Museum catalog number SI P/33 – was studied by the Indologist Sergey Oldenburg in the 1890s and thereafter.

Many images are of buildings long since disappeared, such as the stone Town bridge, Butter Cross, Old Workhouse and Octagon Church.
The General Cemetery Chapel built in 1848 would have followed as the roof had been removed by Fenland District Council, and it was in danger of demolition, however Wisbech Society carried out a restoration project and it can now be compared with Smith's image of 1856.
190 negatives and over 100 prints are in the Wisbech & Fenland Museum and 125 other negatives and about 70 prints at the Kodak museum.

To signify their interest or displeasure, the flag of French and British was hosted and that the people should choose the flag of the country they wish to follow.
The then Baale Aseje stood up to choose a British flag because they had previously consulted the Oracle Ifá who instructed them to go with the British flag.

Ernest Gall (14 April 1863 – 19 April 1925) was a prolific commercial photographer in Adelaide, South Australia, who was praised for the artistic quality of his work.
Gall, a son of printer David Gall, first came to public notice in 1889 with a series on the newly-developed irrigation colony at Renmark.
He was previously employed as assistant to McLean Brothers, Rigg and Co., ironmongers in Hindley Street, but finding the work tiresome, decided to turn his hobby of photography into a full-time occupation.

The basic structural unit of chromatin is the nucleosome: this consists of the core octamer of histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) as well as a linker histone and about 180 base pairs of DNA.
In histone acetylation and deacetylation, histone proteins are acetylated and deacetylated on lysine residues in the N-terminal tail as part of gene regulation.
The regulation of transcription factors, effector proteins, molecular chaperones, and cytoskeletal proteins by acetylation and deacetylation is a significant post-translational regulatory mechanism These regulatory mechanisms are analogous to phosphorylation and dephosphorylation by the action of kinases and phosphatases.
Not only can the acetylation state of a protein modify its activity, but this post-translational modification may also crosstalk with phosphorylation, methylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation, and others for dynamic control of cellular signaling.
The post-translational modification of histone tails by either histone modifying complexes or chromatin remodeling complexes are interpreted by the cell and lead to complex, combinatorial transcriptional output.
It is thought that a histone code dictates the expression of genes by a complex interaction between the histones in a particular region.

He was also interested in other aspects of natural history and wrote a book on evolution which examined such aspects as the evolution of spots in wild cats and other animal skin patterning.
Bonavia also maintained careful records of weather and examined long-term variation in the patterns of rains, supporting the theory that linked them to sun-spots.
He also served as a Civil Surgeon at Etawah and worked on public sanitation, making attempts to stop open defecation in Lucknow.
Bonavia died at Worthing, Sussex where he lived on Richmond road after retirement, continuing to take an interest in gardening and hybridization of ornamental plants.

Naturism refers to a lifestyle of practising non-sexual social nudity in private and in public, and to the cultural movement which advocates and defends that lifestyle.
Although not a daily feature of public life, social nudity is practised in a variety of other contexts in New Zealand culture.
An attempt to set up a nudist club in Dunedin in 1933 was unsuccessful, attracting hostility from clergy, women's groups, and the police.
At the 1957 rally, held at the Canterbury Sun and Health Club's grounds in Rolleston near Christchurch, the affiliated clubs agreed to form the New Zealand Sunbathing Association, which was formally established on 1 January 1958.
In 2016 the Federation in conjunction with Tourism New Zealand hosted the World Congress of the International Naturist Federation at the Wellington Naturist Club, marking the second time the Congress had ever been held in the Southern Hemisphere.
This Congress was marked by political unrest, as sitting INF president Sieglinde Ivo was voted out in favour of French delegate Armand Jamier by a narrow majority.
The photos were retouched, to avoid legal repercussions, until after the 1968 Indecent Publications Tribunal finding that nude photos were not unlawful in New Zealand – after which they continued to be retouched in the Australian edition, since nude photographs in print media remained illegal in Australia until the 1970s.
From the 1990s until 2018, full frontal nudity was kept off the covers so that the magazine could be sold by newsagents without a plain wrapper.
Māori people prior to European colonization wore woven cloaks and kilts for protection from the weather and to denote social status.
There was no shame or modesty attached to women's breasts, and therefore no garments devoted to concealing them – the colourful woven bodices () worn by women in performances are a colonial-era invention, which became standard costume only in the 1950s.
The shock value of exposing the female genitals gave it power as a form of protest, a gesture known in Māori as .
A 2008 poll by Research New Zealand reported that 54% of New Zealanders supported the right of naturists to go nude on beaches at least in designated areas, with over half that number finding nudity acceptable on any beach.
Naturists who engage in casual public nudity, even in places where this is lawful, run the risk of having the police called on them by disapproving members of the public.
In February 2016, complaints were laid with the Judicial Conduct Commission over photographs of a District Court judge playing pétanque in the nude at Pineglades Naturist Club.

Boobs on Bikes was a mostly annual parade of topless men and women riding on motorcycles through large New Zealand cities in the 2000s, most prominently Auckland.
One main aim of the parade was to draw attention to the fact that toplessness is legal in New Zealand, so that women have the same right to go bare-chested as men; this aligns both with the general philosophy of naturism and with feminist causes such as Free the Nipple.
In 1991 an Auckland man was convicted of offensive behaviour in the District Court for sunbathing nude on the beach at Fitzpatrick Bay in the presence of a group of visiting schoolchildren.
In 1995, the same man was convicted of offensive behaviour for going nude in a public street; this time the High Court upheld the conviction, since the street was not a place where public nudity was common or known to occur.

The Judean Civil War was a conflict between King Alexander Jannaeus and the Pharisees, the dominant political party in the Great Sanhedrin at the time.
The civil war began after a decade of expansionist military campaigns by Alexander, whose dual role as both King of Judea and High Priest of the Jewish Temple resulted in a dereliction of his religious responsibilities in Jerusalem, which became the root of criticism by the Pharisees.
After suffering a defeat by the Arab Nabateans in the Battle of Gadara in 93 BC, Alexander returned to Jerusalem to officiate the festival of Sukkot.
He demonstrated his displeasure against the Pharisees by refusing to perform the water libation ceremony properly: instead of pouring it on the altar, he poured it on his feet.
Outraged, he ordered soldiers to kill those who insulted him, which lead to the massacre of six thousand people in the Temple courtyard.
With further frustration, Alexander had wooden barriers built around the temple and the court with the sacrificial altar, to which only priests had access.
This incident during the Feast of Tabernacles was a major factor leading up to the Judean Civil War by igniting popular opposition against Alexander.
After Alexander succeeded early in the war, the rebels relocated to Sepphoris, in the heavily pro-Pharisee region of Galilee, and appealed for Seleucid assistance.
Alexander had gathered six thousand, two hundred mercenaries and twenty thousand Jews for battle as Demetrius had forty thousand soldiers and three thousand horses.
Most of the rebels died in battle, while the remaining rebels fled to the city of Bethoma until they were defeated.
Alexander later returned the land he had seized from the Nabateans in order to have them end their support for the Jewish rebels.
In 87 BC, Alexander's queen, Salome Alexandra, was the sister of deputy Pharisee leader Simeon ben Shetach, and ordered Simeon's return from exile in Egypt.
Alexander Jannaeus died in 76 BC, making Salome Alexandra Queen Regnant of Judea, and assassinations of Sadducee leaders who had served in the civil war became common.

Henry Willis Baxley (1803 – 1876) was an American physician who helped to found the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery in 1839.
This college has been variously described as the first dental college in the United States, in the world, and in North America.
There, he was educated at St. Mary's College before beginning medical school at the University of Maryland, from which he received his M. D. in 1824.
In 1826, he began working as an attending physician at the Baltimore General Dispensary, where he continued to work until 1829.
He was named a demonstrator of anatomy at the University of Maryland in 1834, and replaced Eli Geddings as professor of anatomy and physiology at this institution in 1837.
In 1839, Baxley worked with Chapin A. Harris, Horace H. Hayden, and Thomas E. Bond to found the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery.
He served as professor of surgery at Washington University of Baltimore from 1842 to 1847, and he worked as a physician at the Baltimore Almshouse from 1849 to 1850.
In 1901, Johns Hopkins used this money to establish the Baxley Professorship of Pathology, the first ever endowed chair in the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

Yvonne Netter (8 April 1889 – 30 August 1985) was a French advocate, journalist, campaigner for feminism and Zionism and an active member of the French Resistance during the Vichy France period.
Netter was born to Blanche Isaac and Mathieu Netter, an industrialist from the Alsace region whose business was processing bird down.
Her husband had poor health and was not sent to the front to fight in World War I; he was employed as a driver before being demobilised because of illness between 1915 and 1916.
In 1923, Netter co-founded the Jewish Women's Union for Palestine with Suzanne Zadoc-Kahn, wife of doctor and chair of the Central Committee of Keren Hayesod, Léon Zadoc-Kahn; the Union later became the French section of the Women's International Zionist Organization; she was also active in other women's Jewish groups.
Between the late 1920s and the onset of World War II, she travelled widely in Europe and North Africa promoting Zionism at conferences.
From the 1920s in particular, she fought passionately for the right of women to work and vote [only realised in France 27 years after other major European nations].
French-speaking Africans were – like French women – also unable to vote, despite their families' sacrifices for France in the war.
In 1940, shortly after the defeat of France to the Nazis, Madeleine Fauconneau du Fresne – an activist for the Moral Re-Armament movement begun by Frank Buchman – was advised by a friend to engage the services of Netter after she was called to court to answer charges of defamation following an argument with a neighbour.
The two became good friends and this led Netter to convert to Catholicism, but nonetheless she was banned from her advocacy in 1941 because of her Jewish background.
For the same reason, she was arrested on 4 July 1942 by French police and a Gestapo agent and interned at .
While she was in the Pithiviers hospital, due to severe dysentery, Fauconneau du Fresne was able to visit and pass on details of an escape plan arranged with Line Piguet, the wife of Dr.Robert Piguet, and with the help of a laundry worker there.
While attending mass, Netter wore a friend's jacket and escaped with Henri Tessier, a market gardener, to stay awhile with the Tessier family in Pithiviers before staying with Tessier's friend, Joseph-Marie Cardin.
The Cardins provided money and false documents for her planned trip to the southern zone where she could join her brother, Léo.
Madame Piguet – who also helped Netter's son, Didier – was arrested by the Gestapo after she was found to be hiding a jew.
Netter was in hiding until Paris's liberation, but despite this was part of the Comet Line resistance group as a liaison officer from July to December 1943 and from June to August 1944.
81; he and his son were moved to Buchenwald concentration camp and his wife and daughter to Ravensbrück concentration camp [some sources erroneously say Bergen-Belsen and Auschwitz respectively].
In 2018, Fauconneau du Fresne was given the title Righteous Among the Nations for saving Netter, a title also previously granted to the Tessier, Piguet and Cardin families for saving her and others.
Later that year he was recruited to Michigan by the Regents of the University of Michigan to serve as principal of a Lancastrian school in Detroit.
In 1824 he was employed by surveyor and land speculator Orange Risdon to work with him on a detailed map of Michigan to be completed that year.
Anticipating a flood of immigrants from the east when the Erie Canal was scheduled to open the following year, Farmer decided to go into the map trade himself, producing his own map of Michigan in 1825.
Farmer found the delay and cost of sending his manuscripts east to be engraved in copper for printing time-consuming and expensive.
The anticipated flood of settlers did arrive, and updated detailed maps showing the public land survey were popular with new arrivals as they contained extraordinary detail of every surveyed township and section.
Upon Farmer's death on March 24, 1859, Roxanne took over the business as produced several maps, then was succeeded by their oldest son Silas.

Phillis Emily Cunnington (1 November 1887 – 24 October 1974) was an English medical doctor and collector, writer and historian on costume and fashion.
She and her husband Cecil Willett Cunnington (1878–1961) worked together not only in their medical practice but also on their collection and writing.
In 1947 the Cunningtons' extensive costume collection was acquired by the Manchester City Art Gallery and the Gallery of Costume at Platt Hall was opened.
Her youngest brother was Captain Noel William Ward Webb (1896–1917), a British World War I flying ace credited with fourteen aerial victories.
Another brother was Lieutenant Paul Frederic Hobson Webb (1889-1918), who was killed in action on 7 July 1918 while serving in No.
In 1911 she was a medical student at the London School of Medicine for Women and in 1916 a Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians, qualifying as a doctor in 1918 and becoming a Member of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP).
For a period she was Clinical Assistant in the Eye Department of the Royal Northern Hospital, later being the Medical Officer in charge of the Infant Welfare Centre in Finchley in northwest London.
In 1918 Phillis Webb married Cecil Willett Cunnington who was also a qualified doctor and who had served as a Captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps during World War I.
For a number of years the couple had a joint practice from their home Tatchley House on Dollis Avenue in Finchley.
By the end of the 1930s they had about a thousand costumes, some of which they loaned out for some of the first British television transmissions.
In 1945 the collection was offered for sale for £7,000 with the hope that a single benefactor would keep it together.
The collection was said to contain over 900 dresses, 650 hats or bonnets, 550 items of underclothing, 100 pairs of shoes, 90 shawls, 100 parasols and 350 examples of ribbons.
In 1945 Lawrence Haward, the Curator of the Manchester City Art Gallery, launched a campaign to raise funds for the purchase of the Cunnigtons' extensive collection.
Having moved to West Mersea in Essex the couple began a series of five handbooks that covered the history of English dress which they completed by 1959.
After the death of her husband in 1961 Phillis Cunnington continued to write books on the history of costume, both alone and in collaboration with others.
She represented Poland at the 1984 Winter Paralympics and she won the gold medal in the women's 3x5 km relay LW2-9 event.
Hildreth Frost (1880-1955) was a lawyer and soldier from Colorado who commanded Company A of the 2nd Infantry Regiment during the Colorado Coalfield War.
He also served as Judge Advocate for the military courts-martial that for members of the Colorado National Guard following the Ludlow Massacre.
Frost received a bachelor's degree from Colorado College in 1901, the same year as the Cripple Creek Strike, and a law degree from Harvard in 1904.
Frost worked as a lawyer on matters relating to the mining industry, which was a major employer in Southern Colorado prior to the Great Depression.
On 26 October 1913, Governor of Colorado Elias M. Ammons ordered the Colorado National Guard to deploy to the southern coalfields near Trinidad and Walsenburg in response to violence associated with the United Mine Workers of America strike against the Colorado Fuel and Iron company that had begun on 23 September.
Like other units of the National Guard in the strike zone, Company A began incorporating CF&I mine guards into its ranks.
Company A would remain deployed through the departure of the congressional committee visit and publication of the military report on the strike zone, returning home on 17 April 1914.
However, the company's first sergeant and two lieutenants remained and participated in the Ludlow Massacre, where roughly 20 strikers and their families were killed.
Frost participated in the northern-most engagement of the conflict, a ten-hour long gun battle in near the mines of Louisville, north of Denver, on 28 April.
Following the conflict, several members of the Colorado National Guard, including Lt. Karl Linderfelt and Major Patrick J. Hamrock were court-martialed in relation to the violence at Ludlow and the killing of strike-leader Louis Tikas.
Frost continued to work as a lawyer following the conflict and was drafted following the entry of the United States into the First World War, which he had penned several newspaper opinion pieces against in the years preceding it, citing his experience during the 1913-1914 strike.

The late Ming peasant rebellions were a series of peasant revolts during the last decades of the Ming dynasty lasting from 1628-1644 .
At the same time, the She-An Rebellion and Jurchen invasions forced the Ming government to cut funding for the postal service, which resulted in the mass unemployment of men in the provinces hit hard by natural disasters.
By 1627, the war with the Jurchens as well as the eruption of the She-An Rebellion in 1621 had drained Ming treasuries to dangerously low levels, with just seven million taels left in the Taicang Vault.
Natural disasters in Shaanxi were not unusual but in the last 60 years of the Ming, they were especially bad, and there was not a single year in which Shaanxi did not experience a natural disaster.
The Chongzhen Emperor's petty and mercurial ways exacerbated the situation by constantly switching grand secretaries, which prevented a coherent government response from coalescing.
Chongzhen's reign alone saw around 50 grand secretaries appointed to the post, representing two thirds of all holders of that post throughout the entire Ming dynasty.
To prevent further depletion of the imperial treasury, Chongzhen cut funding for the Ming postal service, which saw the mass unemployment of large numbers of men from the central and northern provinces around the Yellow River region.
This in turn contributed to the overall deterioration of government control and the formation of bandit groups, which became endemic in the last decades of the Ming.
In the spring of 1628, Wang Jiayin started a revolt in Shaanxi with some 6,000 followers, one of whom was Zhang Xianzhong, who would go on to depopulate Sichuan in the future.
The rebellion posed no threat to the Ming army, but due to the rugged mountain terrain of Shaanxi, the Ming pacification army of 17,000 was unable to effectively root out the rebels.
In early 1629 the veteran anti-rebel leader Yang He was called into service and made Supreme Commander of the Three Border Regions.
When his family disowned him for getting into repeated fights with his peers, he joined the army, which sentenced him to death for breaking military law.
Eventually hardship struck in the winter of 1631 and Zhang was forced to surrender with Luo Rucai, the first of several times he would do so out of expedience.
Li showed an aptitude for horse archery at an early age but was forced to become a shepherd at the age of ten due to poverty.
At some point Li became an outlaw for killing a man he found in bed with his wife after returning from an extended business trip.
After taking part in the suppression of the rebel Gao Yingxiang, Li himself became a rebel due to charges of stealing rations.
The rebels in Henan were driven west until they were bottled up in the southwestern corner of Henan in Chexiang Gorge.
They were returned to their homes under supervision, but when 36 rebels were killed and their heads hung up on the city walls, a full-scale revolt broke out again.
Despite the inability of the rebels to take well-defended cities, the Ming army was also unable to decisively defeat them, so the Ming started building blockhouses in towns to fortify the countryside.
Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang were tasked with taking Southern Zhili, Luo Rucai with defending the Yellow River, and Ma Shouying with leading the mobile division.
During the operation, a dispute occurred between Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong on whether or not to kill the eunuchs, which led to the dissolution of the rebel alliance.
Zhang Xianzhong failed to take the city of Luzhou, which was heavily defended with cannons, which opened fire as they got closer, killing 1,100 rebels.
Li Zicheng continued his rebel activity throughout 1635 and 1636 with modest success; however, his lieutenant defected to the Ming and took Li's girlfriend along with him.
To the north, a 43,000 strong Ming army arrived in Henan under the command of Hong Chengchou but he failed to rout the rebels and even suffered a defeat.
Meanwhile the Ming suffered a major defeat when rebel forces surrounded Cao Wenzhao when he overextended and ran into rebel cavalry forces.
Lu was unable to follow up on his victories and he was called back to the northern frontier to deal with the Qing dynasty's invasion.
A new Vice Minister of War, Xiong Wencan, was put in charge of overall rebel pacification activities, but Hong Chengchou and Zuo Liangyu basically ignored all his orders.
Hong was able to defeat Li Zicheng in Sichuan, but victory in battle meant little against the rebel forces, and sometimes the army would even loot and rape in the area evicted of rebels.
At one point Zhang Xianzhong was even surrendered and was awarded troops and supplies on the promise that he would fight against Li Zicheng.
Joining forces, Zhang and Luo attacked the nearby town of Fangxian and then moved towards the heavily forested mountains of the Shaanxi border.
Although Yang Sichang and Zuo Liangyu clashed on policy, they scored a number of victories against the rebels from 1639 to 1640.
By the winter of 1640, Sichuan was being ravaged by Zhang Xianzhong, and Ming forces were deserting on a daily basis.
Zhang Xianzhong's army had welled upward of 100,000 but he was unable to score any major victories against Ming forces except in the taking of cities in Sichuan, which they slaughtered.
By 1643, the rebels had coalesced into just two major factions in Li Zicheng in Central China and Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan.
This turned out to be the last Ming offensive as the Ming army was completely destroyed and Sun killed in battle.
In Beijing, Chongzhen made a last ditch effort to raise an army from the civilian population and sent them out against Li.
On 24 April, one of Chongzhen's eunuchs ordered for the gates to be opened for the rebels but the guards refused.
When the rebels realized that only powder was being fired, they attacked in force and took the city gates in a brief struggle.
The next month the northern general Wu Sangui defected to the Qing dynasty and together they defeated Li at the Battle of Shanhai Pass.

It has been known as Hancock Arena for sponsorship reasons since July 2018 and have previously been referred to as Sparbank Arena (2010–2012), Spar Nord Arena (2012–2018) and SIK Arena (2018).
The construction of the stadium at Engvej broke ground in May 1941, with the last details coming into place in the spring of 1943, and the new stadium was finished in 1944 at a total cost of DKK 130,000.
As part of the agreement between Skive IK and Skive Municipality, a new club house was built at the ground at a cost of DKK 12,000 and the club officially moved to Engvej in the spring of 1944.
In the years leading up to the construction of the stadium, the meadow had already been filled up by the municipality as relief work for the unemployed.
The inauguration of the stadium at Engvej took place on 5 June 1944 (Constitution Day) with a programme consisting of a large athletics event with participation of many of the country's strongest athletes and an association football match in front of nearly 4,000 spectators.
Skive IK, participating in the 1943–44 JBU's Mesterskabsrække, lost their association football match against the best placed Jutlandish league team in the 1943–44 season, Aarhus GF.
Arbejdernes Idrætsforening (AIF), which was the competing sports team in the city, had their own inauguration of the stadium on 18 June 1944 with music, singing and association football, and their first team in the JBU's Mellemrække played an exhibition match against the local rivals Holstebro BK from the JBU's Mesterskabsrække.
The City Council of Skive made an unanimous decision on 12 June 1944 to prohibit the presence of non-paying spectators at the north lying hillside, with the residence of the Skive Museum, during association football matches.
However, the local police have never enforced the ban nor spend resources on it, which have not had any significant impact.
In the spring of 1945, the German occupying forces seizes the stadium facilities and on 8 May 1945 a large parade was held by the Danish resistance movement.
The level 4 league match, that Viborg FF won 3–2 in windy rain, is reportedly the largest match attendance to a lower ranking Danish league game, outside of the top three divisional structure.
The club's professional senior team played at their temporary ground until the reconstruction was completed in 2003, while Skive AM was the only club to use the stadium facilities after the completion of phase one.
After a 5.5 year displacement period, Skive IK inaugurated the renovated stadium on 11 May 2003 with a derby against Holstebro BK in front of 1,720 spectators as part of a larger celebration program that included speeches, cycling and athletics competitions.
The first phase had cost Skive Municipality DKK 10 million, which delayed the second phase of the project due to lack of funds.
The second phase involved renovations to the buildings by 2003, resulting in a two-story extension of the building's wings totaling 190 m², 520 covered seatings and other facilities at the grandstand, a more contemporary scoreboard and a new grass blanket on the football field was laid.
Changes also included facilities such as an exercise room, public toilets, a cafeteria with an extended terrace, a kitchen at the building's ground floor, while the first floor got VIP rooms for sponsors, press and meetings, a speakerbox, and rooms for the local athletics and cycling clubs, Skive AM and Skive Cykelklub.
Plankings were erected around the stadium as part of the modernisations to the stadium, with the support of Skive IK's then chairman, to prevent matches being viewed from Engvej, and the Skive Committee on Culture and Industry took the initiative to beautify the planking with climbing plants.
The running tracks were renovated again in 2009 due to wear and tear together with the buildings in 2010, and included the installation of a balcony at the grandstand and, due to security reasons, an designated area for the away fans at association football matches and better sponsor facilities.
On 7 and 10 April 2016, the stadium hosted two 2016 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualification games, and have previously staged two men's friendlies for the Danish national youth teams in 1961 and 2015.
An upgrade of the existing floodlights of 150 lux to 500 lux was done in the late 2000s to better support the minimum requirements of 1000 lux set forward for evening tv-transmissions at level 2.
New demands for under-soil heating at all professional matches in the Danish 1st Division were implemented beginning with the 2017/18 season, and Skive IK could no longer rely on a several years long dispensation from the Danish FA.
Hence, in the summer of 2017 Skive Municipality decided to invest DKK 2.6 million in installing a total of 25 kilometers of pipes under the municipal owned facility's football field as part of the new heating system provided by Danjord.
The watering system at the stadium, installed in the summer of 2010, makes use of the nearby river, Karup Å, which lowers the cost of water to a minimum.
On 8 September 2009, the Finance Committee of Skive Municipality approved the sale of the rights to naming sponsorships at Skive Stadium to Skive IK Elite A/S for DKK 25,000 for four years in addition to having the rights to sell banner ads at Skive Stadium.
On 1 July 2010 the regional bank, Sparbank, obtained the naming rights for the stadium, renaming it Sparbank Arena, creating matching names with the indoor athletics hall next to the stadium, that was constructed in 2007.
When the regional Skive-based bank merged with the Aalborg-based bank Spar Nord Bank in the fall of 2012, the sponsorship agreement was continued in the new financial constellation, with the stadium name being changed to Spar Nord Arena, beginning 18 November 2012.
The bank announced a withdrawal from its main sponsorship of Skive IK Elite A/S and its naming rights to the stadium in the fall of 2017, which was made public in February 2018, but would continue having the naming rights for the stadium in 2018 until a new sponsor was found.
Due to uncertainty surrounding the withdrawal, for a short period in March 2018, the stadium was hence temporarily referred to as SIK Arena.
On 1 July 2018, Skive Stadium officially changed its name to Hancock Arena, when a sponsorship deal was reached between the local brewery Hancock Bryggerierne A/S and SIK Elite, that is set to expire on 1 January 2022.

Deerfield embroidery developed from the efforts of the Deerfield Society of Blue and White Needlework in Deerfield, Massachusetts in the 1890s.
Margaret C. Whiting and Ellen Miller formed the society in 1896 as a way to help residents boost the town's economy by reviving American needlework from the 1700s.
Members of the Blue and White Society initially used the patterns and stitches from these earlier works, but because these new embroideries were not meant to replicate the earlier works, the embroidery soon deviated from the original versions with new patterns and stitches, and even the use of linen, rather than wool, thread.
Ellen Miller was in declining health, the trained stitchers were getting old and couldn't continue, Margaret Whiting's sight was fading, and the design and quality of commercially produced items was increasing.
The Miller family, with two daughters, had come to Deerfield from the nearby town of Hatfield in 1893, and in 1895 Mrs. Calvin Whiting arrived with her two daughters from Holyoke.
The families were already friends, and Margaret and Ellen may have known each other while both were students at the New York Academy of Design.
There was a focus amongst those who stayed on Deerfield's history, and this was reflected in the establishment in 1870 of the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association, which actively collected local artifacts, which formed the basis of the Memorial Hall Museum, which opened to the public in 1880.
This local interest in heritage served as the setting for the founding of the Deerfield Society of Blue and White Needlework.
Whiting and Miller carefully examined historical crewel embroidery of the area as found in the possession of residents and in Memorial Hall Museum.
Whiting and Miller formed a cooperative, the Deerfield Society of Blue and White Needlework, in which the stitching members shared in the proceeds of the sales.
Eventually, between 25 and 30 women, ranging in age from 19 to 70, actively participated in the Society at a given time.
The time that would be needed to complete each element of each pattern was determined, so workers who were quick and precise would be at an advantage.
Prices for completed items were based on the cost of the materials, the time to design a project, and the stitching time.
Both Whiting and Miller, using their design training, soon developed new designs, and eventually started using threads in other colors, such as greens, madder (red), and fustic (yellow).
Whiting and Miller used vegetable dyes in order to create the colors of the wool threads, and handwoven linen fabric was bought for use as the background from Berea College and weavers in Vermont and Georgia.
The Society's founding had an impact on other craft revivals in the town: rag rugs and linens were woven, baskets were woven by two groups, one that called themselves the Deerfield Basket Makers and another at the north end of town, the Pocumtuck Basket Makers.

Elizabeth Ngugi (died 2015) was a Kenyan Professor of Community Health at the University of Nairobi, and a nurse by trade.
Ngugi studied at Columbia Pacific University for her BA and Masters in Nursing Administration from 1983-1985, and earned a PhD in social work in 1989.
In 1986 she became a lecturer in the School of Public Health, University of Nairobi, and was promoted to the position of Kenyan national AIDS coordinator.
Ngugi was involved in an international collaboration in Nairobi to engage with sex workers and help them to tackle sexual transmitted diseases.
She joined in 1984 in the role of a nurse, and made efforts to reach out to sex workers instead of stigmatising them.
Much of Ngugi's research focused on these vulnerable communities, and she provided them with medical care, advice and free condoms in return for participation.
By helping the sex workers to collectively demand condom use from their clients, their utilisation has soared from 4% to 90%, even though men often offer more money for unprotected sex.
In 1991 she became director of the collaborative HIV/AIDS effort with the University of Manitoba, a role she held until 2006.
Ngugi was promoted to Associate Professor of Community Health Sciences at the University of Manitoba in her final year of directorship.
In 1992 Ngugi established HerStory (initially as the Kenya Voluntary Women Rehabilitation Centre) to support sex workers to escape prostitution with training, support and microfinance.
Ngugi and Frank Plummer from Manitoba published a study indicating levels of long-lived HIV resistance among Kenyan sex workers who work in Majengo, Nairobi.
Ngugi decried the fact that these women contribute so much to research but are still living in poverty and must sell their bodies to survive.
She also led the implementation of government efforts against HIV/AIDS including the building of ten drop-in centres for vulnerable populations in Northern/Eastern Kenya.
In contrast to American Ninja Warrior, the NNL provides multiple competitions each season for athletes as young as 6 years old under a unified rule set.
The defining characteristic of ninja is that athletes must complete all of the obstacles in a predetermined order consecutively without falling.
In the National Ninja League, one's score is the number of obstacles that they cleared and the time that it took to complete those obstacles.
This requires the athlete to focus on a number of different skills and quickly adapt to new concepts, as many obstacles are brand new to the competitors.
Ninja competitions generally take place at dedicated training facilities, many of which are owned by competitors who started on American Ninja Warrior.
The National Ninja League was created by Chris and Brian Wilczewski, competitors on American Ninja Warrior and owners of the Movement Laboratory training facility, in the fall of 2015 as a way for competitors and fans of the show to have a unified off-season league between taping seasons.
The first season had 15 qualifying events at 12 affiliate facilities and culminated in a World Championship at the Movement Laboratory in Hainesport, New Jersey in February 2016.
The first championships for youth athletes were held at the Gymnastics Academy of Fairfield (Connecticut) for the Kids and Preteens divisions and iCore Fitness in West Chester, PA for the Teen division.
Due to the popularity of ninja among youth athletes, two additional divisions - Mature Kids and Young Adults - were added the following season.
The league has rapidly expanded from 12 affiliate facilities in Season 1 to over 80 affiliate facilities in Season 5 in 27 states and 6 countries.
At a National Ninja League qualifying competition, each athlete will run an obstacle course consisting of 10-20 obstacles in a predetermined order.
Athletes receive only one attempt at each obstacle (with the exception of the Warped Wall) and must advance from the start platform to the finish platform with whatever means are available to them.
The athlete in each division that advances the farthest into the course in the fastest amount of time, or the athlete that completes the entire course in the fastest amount of time, is declared the winner.
The top three athletes in each division qualify for the annual World Championship at the end of the season; athletes that have already qualified defer their spots to the next available athlete.
One hallmark of the National Ninja League compared to other ninja organizations is that competitors cannot be told the path by which they must defeat an obstacle.
For instance, on a set of monkey bars, the athlete cannot be told that they must touch each bar, start on the first bar, and/or finish on the last bar.
Athletes can only be told the start and finish platforms, what they can and cannot use, and whether they can only use their hands or feet on a specific part of the obstacle.
Occasionally, several obstacles will be linked together, in which case the athlete clears one obstacle in a set of obstacle by hand or foot placement on the next obstacle; the series of obstacles must ultimately finish on a finish platform.
Each season ends with the World Championship, a three-stage event in which competitors must complete all obstacles of each stage within the time limit to advance to the next stage.
Prior to 2019, the World Championship was split between an adult event and a youth event, both at a dedicated ninja facility.
The 2019 event, hosted by Real Life Ninja Academy, was held at the XL Center Exhibition Hall in Hartford, Connecticut with both youth and adult athletes competing.
Starting with the 2020 World Championship, the National Ninja League is the sole hosting entity with the tradition of hosting all age divisions in a convention center continuing at the Greensboro Coliseum Special Events Center in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Launched in spring 2018, the Rec Ninja League is designed for beginner to intermediate athletes that might not be ready for the challenges that an NNL course would provide.
The Rec Ninja League operates in a similar manner to the NNL with the same rules surrounding obstacles with the exception that each course is 10 obstacles long, 9 of which are easier than a standard NNL course, and the athlete will attempt each of the 10 obstacles for points.
The athlete in each division and region that accrues the most points over multiple competitions will be crowned Obstacle King/Queen, and the top three athletes that did not qualify for the previous season's World Championship earn qualification to the following season's World Championship.
In its second season, the Rec League had over 500 athletes, many of which competed in their first regular season NNL competition in the ensuing season.
For instance, if the athletes in first, third, and fifth places have already qualified, the qualification spots go to the athletes in second, fourth, and sixth place.
He won the gold medal in the 200 metres 4 event, the silver medal in the 100 metres 4 event and the bronze medal in the 400 metres 4 event.

SMB Touggourt finished bottom of the league after failing to gain a single point, losing all 22 of their fixtures with a goal difference of -129.
In previous seasons, the league season had been split up into East and West sections, with the top six teams qualifying for a final championship round to determine the overall league champion.
The 2018-19 season introduced a new, more straight-forward double round-robin, with the winner being the team with the most points after the 22 game season.

Henry Landor (1815 – 6 January 1877) was the first medical superintendent of the Asylum For The Insane, London, Ontario, which was built to his specifications.
Earlier in life, he was a settler, farmer, physician, scientist, and explorer in Western Australia, and then he became a naval surgeon in South Africa.
Landor and his brothers Edward Wilson Landor, a lawyer, and George W Landor, arrived in the Colony of Western Australia on 27 August 1841.
He took it upon himself to gather as many aborigines as he could to look after them properly, and he applied unsuccessfully for government money for a hospital, though received some funds for medical treatment.
Knight and Landor established a corn-mill in December 1841 and were among the first to introduce Merino sheep to Western Australia.
In 1842, Henry Landor and Henry Maxwell Lefroy explored to the east of King George's Sound (Albany), taking with them to help translate, the 10 year old aboriginal boy Cowitch, who was living in the Landor household.
In 1845, he took up a position as Government Surgeon to the British Naval Forces at Cape Coast Castle, Capetown, South Africa.
From 1868 to 1870, he was appointed medical superintendent of the Malden Lunatic Asylum in Amherstburg, and then in 1870 he became the first Medical Superintendent, Asylum For The Insane, London, Ontario, which was built to his specifications.
The cottages were small satellite buildings on asylum grounds which eased overcrowding and afforded greater freedom of activity to chronic, quiet patients.
In 1852, he married Mary Shaw in Stockport, England and they had 10 children, the first four of which were born in Norwich and the rest in London, Ontario.
Emil Armin (1 April 1883 – 2 July 1971) was an American artist known for his use of vibrant color and brushwork.
Armin began drawing at the age of five and presumably learned woodcarving from his father, Hirsch Lieb, who was an amateur artist.
He was raised by older siblings until he got a full-time job at a restaurant at age 14 and moved into the home of the owner.
After a restaurant patron encourage him to attend art school, he moved to Chernivtsi in 1901 at age 18 to study art.
In 1905, Armin emigrated to the United States, to join his brother Sigmund and his sister Frieda in Chicago, where he continued to draw sketches whenever he could while unhappily working in a wealthy cousin's store.
Armin began his studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1908, and he continued working and studying whenever possible, even through periods of great economic struggle.
In 1916, having saved four hundred dollars from his many jobs, he transitioned from taking only night classes to taking day classes as a full-time student, pausing only once during World War I to take a job making artillery harnesses at eighteen dollars a week.
In the Spring of 1920, at age 36 and twelve years after he first enrolled in a night class, Armin graduated.
In his work, Armin synthesized contemporary artistic trends with inspiration drawn from his Jewish roots and from the peasant traditions of the American Southwest and his native Eastern Europe.
After finishing his studies, Armin joined a group of artists, including Gertrude Abercrombie, Francis Strain and Charles Biesel, at the 57th Street Art Colony in Hyde Park, near Stony island Avenue, where he lived and worked until 1925.
(This group of artists was called the Fifty Seventh Street Group and were also known as the Jackson Park Colony.. Other notable artists that joined included Frances Foy, Gustaf Dalstrom and Beatrice S.
He then briefly moved to the North Side of Chicago, where he worked and lived at 927 Sunnyside Avenue before permanently relocating back to the South Side on Harper Avenue in Hyde Park.
In the 1930s he entered the Grant Park Art Fair, and he worked as an easel painter for the Works Progress Administration (WPA).
It was also in 1940 that Armin, along with other local Jewish artists, formed the American Jewish Art Club and continued to exhibit with them until his death.
Expanding his horizons beyond Chicago, Armin also traveled to work, briefly relocating to Dayton and making trips to the Indiana Dunes, the Wisconsin Dells, New Mexico, Maine and later in life to Lake Chapala in Mexico.
Over time, Armin was able to make a modest living as an artist, selling his art and making ends meet with occasional jobs teaching art, including working with the Jewish Board of Education and teaching at Hull House.
Following his graduation in 1920, Armin became an active member in Chicago's emerging modernist art community, which emphasized freedom of individual expression as its sole doctrine.
In 1913, Armin had visited the controversial Armory Show when it was exhibited at the Art Institute, and he fell under the sway of European and American modernism.
Inspired by the modernist movement, Armin and other Chicago artists formed their own open and free groups—including The Introspectives, the Cor Ardens, Chicago No-Jury Society of Artists, and Neo-Arlimusc—to provide an alternative to the conservative Art Institute of Chicago.
Active in all of these groups, Armin exhibited in every one of the No-Jury Society's shows beginning with the second, and eventually served as president of the Society.
In 1945, at the age of 65, Armin married Hilda Rose Diamond, a social worker for the Jewish Family and Community Service in Chicago.
Al-Radd 'ala Ashab al-Hawa (), better known as al-Sawad al-A'zam 'ala Madhhab al-Imam al-A'zam Abi Hanifa (, ), is a book written by al-Hakim al-Samarqandi, and is considered as the oldest theological work in accordance with the Maturidite school, after Kitab al-Tawhid (The Book of Monotheism) by Abu Mansur al-Maturidi.
In it al-Hakim al-Samarqandi has developed sixty-two credal statements, and states that the failure to observe them means that one cannot be regarded among the majority of Muslims (al-Sawad al-A'zam), an idea which he based on the Hadith containing al-Sawad al-A'zam (the great majority).
The text is a particularly important work in the development of Hanafi-Maturidi theology, as it attempts to faithfully represent the theological beliefs of Abu Hanifa two centuries after his death to a Persian/Central Asian audience then wrestling with the rise of Mu'tazili thought.
The text was well-circulated in the centuries after its composition, both in the original Arabic and a Persian translation, along with a later Turkish translation during the Ottoman era.
Al-Sawad al-A'zam had been commissioned in the early part of the tenth century by Isma'il b. Ahmad (r.279/892–295/907), the real founder of the Samanid polity in Transoxiana and Khurasan, in order to define the parameters of the Sunni 'orthodoxy' the Samanids were committed to upholding.
Blunt in style and authoritarian in tone, al-Sawad al-A'zam was in effect a Hanafite catechism consisting of responses to a large number of doctrinal questions.
Like Tafsir al-Tabari, it was translated anonymously, indicating that its contents were not tied to any individual authorial view but rather represented the collective position of the Hanafite theologians of Transoxiana.
According to the introduction, the purpose of al-Sawad al-A'zam was to counter the growth of sectarianism in the Samanid realm by setting out clearly the consensus of the theologians of Central Asia regarding specific points of Hanafite doctrine.
As a result of the acceptance and influence of this statement of belief, the Turkic tribes north of Transoxiana were converted to Hanafism, including the Oghuz Turks, who would eventually become the great Seljuk rulers of Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Anatolia during the 11th to 13th centuries.
The EP was dedicated to the victims of the Christchurch mosque shootings with proceeds from the sale of the EP to go to Muslim families affected by this event.

Blake Chandler Sandoval (born April 6, 1997), known by his stage name Yung Pinch, is an American rapper, singer and songwriter from Huntington Beach, California.
When he was five years old, he tried to live with his mother, but it did not work out so he returned to living with his grandparents.
Sandoval was a responsible teenager, being the man of the house and looking after his grandmother as she worked 12 hours shifts as a nurse.
He has also opened up and done shows with Migos, Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Nipsey Hussle, and Ty Dolla Sign.
Because his hands were so small he would pinch the blunt, he was called a nickname that would eventually become his rap moniker.
Because his parents suffered from drug addiction, he does not do any drugs other than smoking quality cannabis and doing Lean, which he often references in his songs but admits that he does not publicly promote it.
He is best known for pioneering studies in the field of fluorescent chemosensors and co-founding Illumina, Inc., a biotechnology company in San Diego.

Before sowing is undertaken, it’s a custom to place a pillar (known as 'pookare kamba') in the middle of the paddy field.
Because eukaryotic chromosomes are linear and because DNA replication by DNA polymerase requires the presence of an RNA primer that is later degraded, eukaryotic cells face the end-replication problem.
This problem makes eukaryotic cells unable to copy the last few bases on the 3’ end of the template DNA strand, leading to chromosome—and, therefore, telomere—shortening every S phase.
Measurements of telomere lengths across a variety of cell types in people at various ages suggest that this gradual chromosome shortening results in a gradual reduction in telomere length at a rate of approximately 25 nucleotides per year.
The telomere-shelterin complexes that cap all eukaryotic chromosomes ensure that healthy cells can progress through the cell cycle by preventing the cellular DNA damage response from identifying chromosome ends as double-stranded breaks (DSBs).
Regarding DSB repair, eukaryotes generally use two strategies: non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), which involves rapid reattachment of the broken ends; and homologous recombination (HR), which involves the use of a homologous DNA sequence to repair the break.
Meanwhile, Rif2 and Rap1 inhibit NHEJ: knocking out Rif2 or Rap1 results in longer telomeres as measured by PCR, indicating that NHEJ occurred.
These knockout strains (unlike strains lacking functional CST or Rif1) continue to cycle, further suggesting that Rif2 and Rap1 are not involved in inhibiting checkpoint activation.
Analogously, proteins that bind to human telomeres as part of the shelterin complex enable cell cycle progress and prevent erroneous DSB repair.
POT1 protein binds to ssDNA, prevents checkpoint activation through inhibiting ATR recruitment, and prevents HR; RAP1, a GTPase, binds to dsDNA and prevents HR; and TRF2 protein (also known as TERF2) binds to dsDNA, prevents checkpoint activation through inhibiting ATM recruitment, and prevents NHEJ.
TRF2 is unique among these proteins in its role in the formation and maintenance of T-loops: lariat structures formed by the folding of the ssDNA overhang back onto the dsDNA.
As telomeres shorten, as a natural consequence of cell division or due to other factors, such as oxidative stress, shelterin proteins lose the ability to bind to telomeric DNA.
When telomeres reach a critically short length, there are no longer enough shelterin proteins to inhibit checkpoint activation, although NHEJ and HR generally remain inhibited at this point.
For example, researchers should investigate the mechanism by which proteins involved in the DNA damage checkpoint pathway, such as p53, are activated by shortened telomeric ends.
Resolving the question of why cancer cells have short telomeres led to the development of a two-stage model for how cancer cells subvert telomeric regulation of the cell cycle.
First, the DNA damage checkpoint must be inactivated to allow cells to continue dividing even when telomeres pass the critical length threshold.
As a result of the continued division past the point of normal senescence, the telomeres of these cells become too short to prevent NHEJ and HR of chromosome ends, causing a state known as crisis.
The application of these DSB repair mechanisms to chromosome ends leads to genetic instability, and while this instability can promote carcinogenesis, it induces apoptosis if experienced for too long.
Thus, cancer cells have short telomeres because they progress through an intermediate stage of telomere shortening—caused by division after DNA damage checkpoint inactivation—before enabling mechanisms for maintaining telomere length.
Two concerns with applying telomerase inhibitors in cancer treatment are that effective treatment requires continuous, long-term drug application and that off-target effects are common.
For example, the telomerase inhibitor imetelstat, first proposed in 2003, has been held up in clinical trials due to hematological toxicity.
Although telomerase activation does not occur during the cell cycle of normal somatic human cells, the association between telomere elongation (especially elongation by telomerase) and tumor development emphasizes the importance of understanding when such elongation can occur during the cell cycle.
They then used α factor to block cells with induced short telomeres in late G1 phase and measured the change in telomere length when the cells were released under a variety of conditions.
They found that when the cells were released and concurrently treated with nocodazole, a G2/M phase cell cycle inhibitor, telomere length increased for the first few hours and then remained constant.

Founded in 1848, the original English Gothic church was completed in 1855 on Elm Street, on the site of a temporary chapel the parish built in 1849.
On February 24, 1848, a meeting was held by sixteen lay Episcopalians in New Haven, Connecticut to discuss the opening of a third Episcopal church in the city.
The first services were held in a room that belonged to Center Church on April 23, 1848, where they remained until 1849.
The congregation decided that a new, larger church would be built on the site of the existing chapel, and the last services in the chapel were held on March 12, 1854.
In 1923, the rector proposed that the church relocate to another part of New Haven, as since the founding of the church, Elm Street had become entirely commercial.
Wang Jun (252–314), courtesy name Pengzu, was a military general and warlord who lived during the Western Jin dynasty of China.
He was born to a concubine of Wang Chen of the prominent Wang clan of Jinyang (晉陽) county in Taiyuan (太原) commandery.
Although he became a target of Sima Ying as the War of the Eight Princes unfolded, he survived the chaos, ultimately supporting Sima Yue's faction.
At the time of the Disaster of Yongjia which saw the collapse of Jin control in northern China, he was one of Jin's few remaining provincial powers in the north.
However among claims of imperial ambitions and corruption, he clashed not only with northern tribal powers but also his Jin Dynasty colleague/rival Liu Kun (劉琨) the Inspector of Bingzhou, before his final defeat and death at the hands of Shi Le, who had previously won Wang Jun's trust.

Born before 1173, Stephen was the second of five sons of Count Rotrou IV of Perche and his wife Matilda, daughter of Theobald, count of Blois and Chartres.
It has sometimes been thought that Stephen and Geoffrey divided the Perche between themselves, but this is based on a misreading of a document of 1202.
By the early 1190s, Stephen held rights to a portion of the comital revenues of the manors at Rivray, Montlandon and Nonvilliers, the mills at La Poterie and the salt works at Nogent-le-Rotrou.
At some point prior to 1198, Stephen was granted temporary control of the lands of Fulk of Aunou in the Hiémois.
A little later in 1198, Richard granted Stephen a money fief and Stephen fought for Richard in the war with France that year.
In the autumn of 1201, when King John returned to Anjou after a circuit of the Duchy of Aquitaine, Stephen stood as a guarantor of the settlement reached between John and one of his most powerful Angevin vassals, Juhel III of Mayenne, who had supported John's rival for the throne, Arthur of Brittany, in 1199.
In March 1203 he decided not to rejoin the main army and went to southern Italy with Rotrou of Montfort and Yves of La Jaille.
In 1204, after the partition of the Byzantine Empire by the crusaders, the new emperor Baldwin I granted Stephen the duchy of Philadelphia in Asia Minor as an imperial fief.

In addition to her newspaper work, Moten-Foster is remembered as the first African American to broadcast from the United Nations, the first African American woman radio announcer in Indianapolis, and the first African American woman to host a television show in Indianapolis.
In the 1960s she participated in the civil rights movement and was arrested in Talladega, Alabama for riding at the front of a bus.
The Committee, established in 1975, was part of a broader upsurge in interest in Black history in Indiana during the 1970s.
The committee intended to publish two books, but the project stalled and Moten-Foster instead completed one of the books, a cookbook, herself.
The book built upon her experiences as a UN reporter in the 1960s, when she collected African recipes from many diplomats.
Moten-Foster's death was remarked upon, among others, by then-United States Representative Mike Pence, who read a memorial to her on the House floor.

The 2019 Southeast Asian Games cauldron is a structure at the New Clark City Athletic Stadium in Capas, Tarlac, Philippines and was made for the 30th Southeast Asian Games with National Artist Francisco Mañosa responsible for the design.
It was lit for the Opening Ceremony of the regional games which was held at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan.
The 2019 Southeast Asian Games cauldron including its backdrop and podium was designed by Mañosa & Co. Inc. (MCI) of Filipino architect and National Artist Francisco Mañosa.
Mañosa himself was involved in the design porcess despite him already in poor health and in early stages of dementia when his family firm was approached by the Philippine Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee (PHISGOC) in January 2019 to design a cauldron for the games.Despite unable to draw by that time, Mañosa was able to give direction regarding the design of the cauldron verbally.
The cauldron was originally planned to be high so that the flame would be visible from inside the Athletics Stadium but the planned height was reduced to .
The Philippine Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee (PHISGOC) requested a budget of for the cauldron from the Philippine Sports Commission which handled the fund provided by the national government for the organization of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games.
Days leading to the 2019 Southeast Asian Games the construction of the cauldron was met with criticism due to its cost.

This event was the 58th running of the 24 Hours of Daytona, and the first of 12 races across multiple classes in the 2020 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, as well as the first of four rounds in the 2020 Michelin Endurance Cup.
Prior to the start of the 2020 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, a series of regulation changes were made, including changes to driver eligibility for the secondary prototype class in the series, the Le Mans Prototype class (LMP2).
The rule change stated that each LMP2 team is only allowed to enter one Platinum-rated driver across the entire season, and it must be for the opening round at Daytona, due to the 24-hour-length of this round.
A requirement for a Bronze-rated driver for the full season was also passed for the LMP2 class, in addition to the removal of the 24 Hours of Daytona as a points-scoring event for the class, instead only being a round for Michelin Endurance Cup Points.

Caffarel is recognized for the development of a Systemic Functional Grammar of French which has been applied in the teaching of the French language, Discourse analysis and Stylistics at the University of Sydney.
Caffarel graduated from the University of Sydney in 1991 with First Class Honours in Linguistics and was recognised for her research on the semantics of French tense which was published in 1992.
Her first academic appointment was at the University of Sydney in 1996 as Associate Lecturer which was then was converted into a tenured full time lecturing position in 1998.
Since joining the French Studies Department in 1996, Caffarel has expanded the linguistic curriculum and taught a number of linguistic units on language development, language teaching methodology, functional grammar, discourse analysis, ideology in news, and stylistics.
In addition to her work in expanding the linguistic curriculum in the Department of French Studies, Caffarel has published a number of books and book chapters on French grammar.
Halliday, in the foreword to her 2006 mongraph, described her contribution to theory in the following way: The consistent interplay between theoretical and applied pursuits has always been a defining feature of systemic functional theory, where no clear line is drawn between application and theory and each is a souce fo positive input to the other.
The result is a description which penetrates to the heart of the language, revealing it at one and the same time as a specimen of the human semiotic and a unique resource for the continuous creation of meaning.
(Halliday, 2006: i)Her work has been used as an instrumental resource in the discourse analysis and interpretation of French texts, and her work has also been used as a model for developing descriptions of other languages from a Systemic Functional perspective.
In addition to her ongoing description of French as a tool for the analysis of meaning, from 2005 to 2010, Caffarel also worked with a number of Systemic Functional Linguistics researchers from universities around Australia on an international news project which analysed the coverage of news on the Middle East in various languages, looking at ideology and text structure.
Caffarel's current work focuses on developing the first comprehensive account of the language of the influential French writer and philosopher Simone de Beauvoir.
This project aims to elucidate Beauvoir’s use of language as a mode of action and tool for change by analysing recurrent linguistic choices that are significant to her philosophy and to the communicative force of her writings.
It explores the aspects of Beauvoir’s language that, on the one hand, contribute a particular vision of the world that promotes freedom and change, and, on the other hand, extend agency and transcendence to her readers.

The rock shelter, among small peripheral caves is situated around above the Lone River valley bottom, north of the towns of Rammingen and Öllingen, Heidenheim district in the central Swabian Jura, southern Germany.
Among Mesolithic and Neolithic stone tools and artefacts numerous bone fossils, that date back 50,000 to 70,000 years were found, making the location the oldest known settlement complex of Neanderthals in southern Germany.
In a thorough excavation of the central rock shelter down to the rock bottom, rich sediments of cultures of the younger Paleolithic (Aurignacian and Magdalénien) were dug out and examined.
The quality and composition of these Neolithic objects suggests, that the site was only used as a temporary shelter by the local Homo sapiens population.
In 1908, in a small test excavation Tübingen scholar R. R. Schmidt dug a control profile in order to probe the western hatching of the cave, which however only brought limited stratigraphic results.
Just west of the large entrance hole, which had only been made by Ludwig Bürger during the 1883/84 excavation, these reached a depth of up to three meters.
The actual Paleolithic entrance location of the cave, named ( - the small gate) by Wetzel, could be determined after a broad connection between the newly found and exposed layers and the inner cave sediments was discovered.
In 2017, the cave was included in the UNESCO World Heritage list as part of the Caves and Ice Age Art in the Swabian Jura.

Nkabinde was born on December 7, 1975 in Soweto in Gauteng, South Africa in the midst of apartheid and six months prior to the Soweto uprising.
Nkabinde’s mother, Sibongile, went into labor without her husband present because he was a truck driver who worked away from home.
While rushing, Mamtshali left her dompas behind, so she was aggressively arrested by police, and a neighbor had to transport Sibongile to the hospital.
Mamtshali was also pregnant at the time and went into an early labor at the same hospital as Sibongile because of the aggressive force used by police officers.
On the day of Nkabinde’s birth, there were multiple deaths in their family, including their twin brother, paternal grandmother, and maternal uncle.
Academic Ruth Morgan, who has worked closely with Nkabinde, reports that they had intentions to release a book about their experiences as a transgender man before their death.
As Nkabinde’s life was cut short during this journey, it is unsure which gender pronouns would best reflect their gender identity.
Initially, they resisted until they were bombarded with voices, dreams, and other supernatural forces that urged them to give into becoming a sangoma.
A woman came to them in their dream and told them to stop being stubborn because they were destined to perform this work.
Once Nkabinde began to train as a sangoma, their trainer said that their lesbianism would be gone by the end of the process.
Within the book, they explain their familial history and culture, particularly the importance of their ancestors and how this impacts their life.
They explain how the male ancestor after which they were named is dominant, present in their life, and influences their sexuality, including their identity as a lesbian.
In 2004, Nkabinde joined Busi Kheswa to interview same-sex sangomas and presented this research with Ruth Morgan, the Director of the Gay and Lesbian Archives in South Africa (GALA).
Nkabinde explains that this interview work for GALA drastically altered their view of the world and changed the way they perceived their own culture and lifestyle.
During this episode, they explain their perspective as a lesbian sangoma on how they do not believe homosexuality to be un-African.
They spread awareness on the existence of LGBT sangomas in African culture and challenge the idea that the identities and lifestyles of those in the LGBT community are inherently un-African.

Greg Hsu (, born 31 October 1990), also known as Greg Han or Hsu Kuang-han, is a Taiwanese actor and model.
The first letter in the model name indicates the engine family fitted; in 1957 the Type D diesel engine was introduced in a model known as the DA.
A second generation FA/DA was introduced in 1964 and was built in Japan until 1980, when Hino replaced Toyota's heavier truck lines entirely.
The DA, however, was also built in numerous other countries and manufacture continued into the first decade of the 21st century.
Visible changes vis-a-vis the earlier BX and FX trucks were mainly limited to a new grille, but the F engine in the FA was upgraded, gaining ten horsepower for a total output of at 3000 rpm.
The heavier FA sold very well in a changing Japanese trucking market which was moving to larger loads and greater distances.
Also in February 1956, the FA5 was facelifted with a wider grille and equipped with a transmission with synchromesh on second through fourth gear (a first for the segment in Japan) and renamed the FA60.
The FC60 became the FC70 in January 1958, reflecting an increased compression ratio and a power increase to for the F engine.
The heavier part of the F-engined range was split into two in September 1959, with the FA80 and FA90 being built to handle respectively; these model codes were again maintained until the first generation was replaced.
The DA60 also prompted Toyota to introduce the new Toyota Diesel Store sales network, which remained until 1988 and was the exclusive distributor of Toyota's diesel-engined vehicles in Japan.
As with the petrol-engined models, the diesel lineup was split into the 5-tonne DA80 and the 6-tonne DA90 in September 1959.
In late 1961 (for the 1962 model year) the range was facelifted again, with a single-piece curved windshield replacing the earlier split unit.
With the sales of bonneted trucks slowing down in Japan at this time, reflecting ever more congested city streets, Toyota developed a cab-over version on a wheelbase.
Based on the medium-duty FC80 model, the new DC80C was presented in October 1963, fitted with the D-type diesel engine and a tilting cab.
The DC80C initially sold very well, but problems with the drivetrain as well as the chassis meant that it soon lost out to its competitors.
They sit on a wheelbase and were introduced in September 1964; the DA115C received the enlarged 2D diesel engine with .
There are also period brochures from 1963/1964 showing a model called the DA95C, using the 2D engine and a version of the DA115C cab with unusual additional small windows flanking the grille.
At the time of introduction, there were six main models available: The 100-series is a truck, fitted with either the F or the D engine.
The new models have a grille with four central openings flanked by six openings on either side, rather than the earlier seven-bar grille.
The DA/FA was also assembled in several other countries, however, including but not limited to Indonesia, Thailand, Kenya, and South Africa.
Indonesian sales began in 1969 under the auspices of Astra International until the formation of the Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) joint venture in 1971.
TAM built a dedicated plant for the FA/DA in 1973 and exported SKD kits to various countries, including Nigeria and Australia.
Indonesian models were facelifted in 1976 and post-facelift models were painted moss green as standard; they continued in local production until 1986.

Suzanne Eggins is an Australian linguist who is an Honorary Fellow at Australian National University (ANU), associated with the ANU Institute for Communication in Health Care.
Eggins is the author of a best selling introduction to systemic functional linguistics and she is known for her extensive work on critical linguistic analysis of spontaneous interactions in informal and institutional healthcare settings.
After completing her Bachelor of Arts, Honours (first class) at the University of Sydney in 1982, she started a master's degree in linguistics on ergativity in English under the supervision of Michael Halliday.
From September 1983 to June 1985, she studied at the Université de Nancy II (now Université de Lorraine), completing a and a Diplôme des Etudes Approfondies, under the direction of Philip Riley and Henri Holec.
Upon returning to Australia in mid-1985, she resumed her deferred postgraduate degree (converted to a PhD) under the supervision of Michael Halliday and J. R. Martin at the University of Sydney.
In 1986/1987, Eggins was asked to lecture the course ‘Language as Content’ for students preparing to study the MA in Applied Linguistics at the University of Sydney and these lectures formed the basis of the first edition of her book 'An Introduction to Systemic Functional Linguistics' in 1994.
She received her PhD in 1991 and the title of her thesis was 'Keeping the conversation going: A systemic-functional analysis of conversational structure in casual sustained talk'.
From 1992 to 2006, Eggins was an academic at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) School of English (now a part of UNSW School of the Arts and Media), with a period as a Head of School (2001–2003).
During this time, she developed a number of courses focusing on systemic functional linguistics, text analysis, children's literature and literacy, and professional writing.
In 2005, she also formalised her interests in editing, literary studies and writing by completing a master of arts in professional communication at Deakin University.
Before accepting a role of an Honorary Fellow at Australian National University in 2017, she had spent seven years at The University of Technology Sydney as a Research Fellow involved in a national study of clinical handover communication led by Prof Diana Slade and funded by Australian Research Council.
To cater for the needs of undergraduate UNSW students coming from educational rather than linguistic backgrounds, Suzanne Eggins converted her lecture notes into a textbook introducing systemic functional linguistics.
The first edition closely followed Michael Halliday’s 'Introduction to Functional Grammar' (IFG) and was intended to contextualise it within social functional linguistic theory.
Furthermore, it aimed to provide analysed examples of ‘real texts’, rather than the short clause-length examples that students encountered in Halliday's IFG.
When first published, the 'Introduction to Systemic Functional Linguistics was one of only two or three introductory books on systemic functional linguistics available.
The second edition of the book was published in 2004 and it includes a chapter on the clause complex and draws on a wider variety of textual examples, including literary texts and writing by children.
It also reflects a more ‘critical’ approach to applying functional grammar that had been developing as a result of the rise of Norman Fairclough’s work on Critical Discourse Analysis.
Eggins is the co-author of the book 'Analysing Casual Conversation' Using casual conversation from workplaces and social settings, the book offers the first critical and theorised account of conversation within systemic functional linguistics and provides practical analytical tools for researchers working on spoken interaction.
As National Linguist on the ARC-funded project ‘Effective Communication in Clinical Handover’, Eggins carried out linguistic ethnographic fieldwork at a metropolitan public hospital and advised research teams in other states on the analysis and interpretation of language data.
Afterwards, they published widely on the communication patterns and developed training courses for nurses in ‘better bedside handovers’ that have been delivered to several hundred nurses at Canberra Hospital.
Max Cutler (born December 31, 1990) is an American podcaster and business man best known for founding the podcast network Parcast in 2016.

With the Midshipmen, he cycled between quarterback and slotback for his first two seasons before becoming the starting quarterback in 2018.
As a senior, he set various Navy and NCAA records, including the most rushing yards by a quarterback in a season, and was named American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year.
Perry was born in Fort Campbell, where his parents Bonny and Malcolm Sr. were stationed as members of the United States Army.
He was named the team's quarterback in his sophomore year and led the team to three consecutive Class 5A state playoff appearances; all three postseason runs ended with losses to opponents that would make the state championship (with two winning).
After high school, Perry contemplated attending Middle Tennessee State University, where his older sister's friends played college football, or enlisting in the armed forces.
Perry committed to Navy as the academy allowed him to play football in addition to serving, while the team also allowed him to select his position; in contrast, Air Force and Army wished to keep him at quarterback.
In addition to playing for the junior varsity team, he began the varsity season sharing the third-string quarterback spot with Zach Abey before being demoted to fourth string due to illness.
Perry made his varsity debut against Fordham after starting quarterback Tago Smith suffered an ACL tear; although he was initially inactive for the game and was watching from the stands, the injury forced the Midshipmen to pull Perry into action, while team equipment members had to return to campus to retrieve his uniform.
He returned to slotback in 2017, though he also saw time at quarterback as he started three games at the position.
In the season-ending Army–Navy Game, Perry recorded 250 total yards, which was 84 percent of the Midshipmen's yardage in the game and nine more than Army's total gains, and a touchdown on 30 carries.
6–6 Navy went on to play in the Military Bowl against Virginia, where Perry scored two touchdowns and rushed for 114 yards before leaving with a foot injury in the 49–7 victory.
In Navy's first American Athletic Conference (AAC) game of the year against Memphis, he led the team in all three offensive yardage categories (166 rushing, 22 passing, 17 receiving), the second player to do so after Keenan Reynolds in 2015.
Although he recorded 100 rushing yards each in every start at quarterback, the offense struggled through the first five games and he was moved to slotback after a 35–7 loss to Air Force.
While slotback remained his primary position for the remainder of the year, he continued to spend time at quarterback with Abey and Garret Lewis.
Perry led Navy in rushing yards with 1,087 on 172 attempts, along with seven rushing touchdowns; in receiving, he recorded nine catches for 167 yards and a touchdown; when throwing, he completed nine of 25 passes for 222 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.
To assist him in his development as a passer, Navy hired Billy Ray Stutzmann to install features of the run and shoot offense; Stutzmann played in and coached the offensive system at Hawaii.
The Midshipmen improved to 10–2 in the regular season, during which Perry recorded nine consecutive games with at least 100 rushing yards and two games with over 200, the fourth player in school history to accomplish the latter.
In early December, he was named AAC Offensive Player of the Year and first-team All-Conference; at the time of the announcement, he led the conference in rushing yards per game (136.4), which was also the most among quarterbacks in the nation, along with 1,500 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns.
Against Army, Perry ran for a career-high and rivalry-record 304 yards (the first Navy player to do so against an NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision opponent and the second in general) and two touchdowns as the Midshipmen won 31–7, their first win in the rivalry since 2015.
His performance allowed him to break two Navy records: Worth's 2016 single-season total offense record with 2,831 yards and Napoleon McCallum's 1983 single-season rushing yardage record with 1,804, while his 606 rushing yards in three Army–Navy Games were the most by any player in rivalry history.
He completed five of seven passes for 57 yards and a touchdown, while also running for 213 yards on 28 carries; the rushing yards surpassed Ricky Dobbs' 106 in the 2009 Texas Bowl for the most by a Navy player in a bowl game.
He ended 2019 with 2,017 rushing yards, surpassing Jordan Lynch's record for the most rushing yards by a quarterback in a season, while his 4,359 career rushing yards were the 79th-most among all players in college football history and the second-most by a Midshipman behind Reynolds.
The two served in the Gulf War, with Malcolm Maurice Perry being involved in refueling operations and Bonny in parts repair and supply.
A military brat, Malcolm Jr. is the youngest of six children, with two of his siblings being born in North Carolina and another in Germany.
It is situated on the southern border of Valhalla Provincial Park, northwest of Gimli Peak, and west of Slocan and Slocan Lake.
In keeping with the Valhalla theme, this peak's name was submitted February 1970 by Robert Dean of the Kootenay Mountaineering Club for consideration, and it was officially adopted March 3, 1971, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.

Frances Taylor Davis (September 28, 1929 – November 17, 2018) was an American dancer and actress who was a member of the Katherine Dunham Company, and the first African American ballerina to perform with the Paris Opera Ballet.
Her instructor encouraged her to audition for the Edna McRae School of the Dance where she became the only African American student.
While attending the school, Taylor met dancer and choreographer Katherine Dunham who offered her a scholarship to study dance at the Katherine Dunham Company.
In 1948, Taylor was recruited for a special presentation to perform with the Paris Opera Ballet, becoming the first African American to be invited to perform with the ballet company.
They filmed a pilot in the fall of 1953, but the network couldn't get a sponsor, so the show was postponed and eventually dropped.
Taylor relocated to New York City to act on Broadway where she was credited as Elizabeth Taylor because there was already an actress named Frances Taylor, so she used her middle name.
Her students included Julie Robinson, who was a Dunham trouper and the wife of actor Harry Belafonte, and Edna Robinson, who was a chorine and the wife of boxer Sugar Ray Robinson.
Durand was of Haitian descent and also a member of the Katherine Dunham's dance troupe; they met in Argentina in 1954.

The island was appeared in a map drawn by Father in 1866, at that time it was marked as Ngau T'au Chü ().
According to the historical document of the District Office South, the island was uninhabited when it was part of the Port Shelter Firing Range.
Administratively, the District Office South was replaced by the Sai Kung District Office as well as other District Offices after the World War II.
It is part of Hang Hau East constituency of the Sai Kung District Council as of 2019 election, despite the island is uninhabited.
In the 1970s, the island was used by , a drug lord, and his associates as a place to hide their goods.
Such as the shallow waters in the bay Tai Wong Wan (), as well as west of Ngau Tau Pai, etc.
A marine park that covers Sharp Island, Tai Chau, Shelter Island and surrounding water was proposed by the Country and Marine Parks Board, a consultative body for the government in 2014.
In 2018, World Wide Fund for Nature also proposed to establish the Port Shelter Marine Protected Area, which also includes the Shelter Island.
She's in the Army is a 1942 American comedy film directed by Jean Yarbrough and written by Sidney Sheldon and George Bricker.
It was first discovered in a screen for genes whose overexpression would suppress the phenotypes of PKC1 pathway mutations (thus named Bypass of C Kinase).
Though its mechanism is currently unknown, it is believed to interact with Swi4 and Mcm1, both important transcriptional regulators of early cell cycle.
A global screen for genes regulated by Bck2 investigated through RNA microarray experiments revealed that Bck2 regulated a wide range of cell cycle genes beyond those associated with G1 phase.
Overexpression of Bck2 in Swi6-null cells resulted in changes in expression of genes known to be regulators of the cell cycle, or cell cycle dependent.
Old Town is the oldest urban area within the city of Petaling Jaya, a combined area of four inner suburbs within one of the biggest cities in Malaysia's most developed state of Selangor.
Once the site a squatter resettlement scheme in the 1950s, the area soon became the beginning of Malaysia's first post-war new town.
Old Town is directly north of the New Pantai Expressway, a major highway connecting Subang Jaya with the federal capital of Kuala Lumpur.
It borders the PJS51 industrial area to the west, the Section 6 and 7 neighbourhoods to the north, the Section 1A and 5 inner suburbs to the east, and Taman Medan and Taman Petaling Utama inner suburbs to the south.
During World War II, many of Kuala Lumpur's urban population fled to the countryside to escape starvation and atrocities committed during the Japanese occupation of Malaya.
After the war, these thousands returned to Malaysia's (then named Malaya) capital bringing along large numbers of people displaced by the conflict as well as by illegal immigration, leading to slums with thousands of squatters living in the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur.
Though squatters were found across the country at the time, authorities in Kuala Lumpur faced a lack of suitable land, increasing congestion and were unable to keep pace with housing demands as the city boomed from a population of 120,000 in 1936 to 300,000 by 1955.
To combat this problem, authorities in the 1950s set an area for a new township west of the capital, earmarking a 490ha rubber plantation known as Effingham Estate along Jalan Kelang Lama (or Old Klang Road) as the site of a new settlement.
Some 800 houses by unpaved roads came up first, as housing lots were sold by colonial British authorities to locals with a 60-year leasehold period.
The first residents were some of Kuala Lumpur's former squatters, and by the mid-50s more than 1,300 housing lots were sold, with the houses built by the former squatters or by local builders, most of them detached timber units with zinc roofs.
In July 1954, an area of land next to Section 1 and 2 was levelled and identified as Section 3 and was to be set aside for the ethnic Malay population, with government servants moving in as the new area's residents.
Consisting of four inner suburbs, Old Town today is a mix of residential houses and commercial properties and one of the busiest parts of the city.
The oldest settlement in Petaling Jaya, it is colloquially known among locals as Old Town, mirroring New Town, the city's administration and commercial centre of about a kilometre away.
It is home to a bustling economic area, with several blocks of commercial shoplots and a wet market built around Jalan Selangor-Jalan Othman crossroads.
The area is also host to its only high-rise residential apartment with Inai Court Apartment along Jalan Templer in Section 1 and a commercial high-rise known as Menara Mutiara Majestic in Section 3.
A sports complex which also houses the city's hockey stadium (one of two in the state of Selangor) and a skatepark sits in Section 3 along Jalan Selangor.
The city's oldest hospital, the Assunta Hospital was constructed in Section 4 in 1954 and still stands today along Jalan Templer.
A motorcycle flyover connecting Old Town with Taman Medan crossing the New Pantai Expressway can also be found at the settlement's south.
Old Town is home to several schools, including the two Assunta primary missionary schools -the city's oldest educational institutions- that sit side by side with each other in Section 4.
The schools were set up by Sister Enda Ryan, a nun who also spearheaded the formation of the Assunta secondary school.
The Ibnu Rusyd Kawasan Melayu religious primary school also sits here, along with the Chen Moh Chinese-language school, as well as the privately-run Madeleine Kindergarten and the state-run Tabika Kemas Inai Merah MPPJ kindergarten.
Old Town also hosts the Bumiputera-only public university Universiti Teknologi MARA's Jalan Othman campus, also the university's first, as well as a MARA community college in Section 1.
The Tun Tan Cheng Lock Assunta nursing college in Section 4 formed by Catholic nuns in 1961 also sits here, next to the privately-run Assunta Hospital, the city's oldest hospital.
The current Member of Parliament is Petaling Jaya's Maria Chin Abdullah, an independent candidate who ran under the Pakatan Harapan banner in the 2018 Malaysian general election.
The area is also served by two assemblymen, Syamsul Firdaus Mohamed Supri from the People's Justice Party (Malaysia) (PKR) and Rajiv Rishyakaran from the Democratic Action Party (DAP).
As the city's oldest settlement, Old Town is home to Petaling Jaya's oldest mosque, the Masjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Aziz built in Section 3 in 1957.
Roads in Old Town are some of the most heavily used in the city, with the neighbourhood bordering the New Pantai Expressway which acts a link connecting Subang Jaya to the west and Kuala Lumpur to the east.
The area is also next to the administrative center of Section 52 (otherwise known as PJ New Town), the industrial area of Section 51 as well as the major city roads of Jalan Gasing and Jalan Templer, which connects many of Petaling Jaya's southern inner suburbs to the Federal Highway, one of the country's busiest highways.
The area is also served by a bus terminal in the middle of the township, with some of the RapidKL and PJ Free City buses stopping here to pick up passengers heading to the rest of Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur.
The neighbourhood is also next to the Jalan Templer KTM Komuter station, which is served by KTM Komuter's Port Klang Line, connecting the seaside city of Port Klang in the southwest to Tanjung Malim in the north via Kuala Lumpur.
Muringen made his professional debut with ADO Den Haag in a 3-3 Eredivisie tie with Willem II on 23 November 2019.
AT&T Communications, Inc., was a division of the AT&T Corporation that, through 23 subsidiaries, provided interexchange carrier and long distance telephone services.
The American Telephone & Telegraph Long Lines wire, cable, and microwave radio relay network provided long-distance services to AT&T and its customers.
With improved klystrons and other devices devised for World War II, it was quickly determined that relay networks were easy to build, especially over mountainous regions and rough terrain.
Formal opening of the United States coast-to-coast connection was on August 17, 1951, via AT&T's network control center in New York City.
A presidential address from Harry Truman at the San Francisco Peace Conference on September 4, 1951 opened the network, demonstrating coast-to-coast television service.
In 1950, New York City's five boroughs were dialed from various communities in New Jersey with the digits '1-1' followed by the 7 digit telephone number.
While New York City was assigned area code 212 at the very beginning of the Area Code format in October 1947, it wouldn't be until later in the 1950s when Englewood, New Jersey, customers would dial their calls to New York City using the digits 2-1-2.
The use of the '11+' code from Englewood (and other parts of northeastern New Jersey) to call New York City had been in place for a while, even prior to 1951.
New York City's five boroughs also had been dialing northeastern New Jersey as 11+ the two letters and five digits of the New Jersey number as well for a while prior to 1951 and until the latter 1950s.
Other cities in northeastern New Jersey were dialable in 1951 (and for a few years prior) from Englewood by simply dialing the two letters of the exchange name and remaining five digits.
In addition to New York City, the Nassau County part of Long Island was dialable from Englewood and Teaneck using area code 516.
Also Westchester County, Rockland County, and portions of Orange and Putnam Counties were also dialable from Englewood and Teaneck in 1951 using area code 914.
The mid-century advent of microwave and other high capacity systems dramatically cut the cost of long-haul operations, but pricing did not decline proportionally.
Following the Telecommunications Act of 1996, AT&T Communications began reselling Bell Operating Company-provided telephone service at lower prices to compete with the Baby Bells.
SBC had already been offering its own long distance services through SBC Long Distance LLC in its own territory in competition with other long distance companies.
As a result, AT&T Communications was refocused to seek new customers outside of the AT&T 13-state region served by its Bell Operating Companies.
In 2012, 17 more of the AT&T Communications companies were dissolved into AT&T Corp., leaving only the companies in Indiana, New York, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. as the last remnants of the 1984-created structure.
On July 28, 2017, AT&T announced a new AT&T Communications corporate division, which will house AT&T Mobility, DirecTV, U-Verse, AT&T Business, and Technology and Operations Group.

The pyramid was located in today's Borgo district of Rome, between Old Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and the Mausoleum of Hadrian.
Its foundations have been discovered under the first north block of via della Conciliazione, which now includes the Auditorium della Conciliazione and the Palazzo Pio.
While both monuments survived the great changes due to the construction of the old St. Peter's Basilica, the latter was destroyed already during the Middle Ages, while the former survived until the Renaissance age becoming an important element of Rome's topography.
It is clear that the man who could afford to build such a monument could only have been a prominent figure of the Roman state, but his name remains unknown.
The tomb had also a great importance for the pilgrims who reach Saint Peter, since on their way to the Basilica they met the tomb of the founder of the city before that of the founder of the church.
Due to that, the Meta Romuli was a popular subject in the representations of the city in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
At the beginning of the 15th century, the pyramid's pinnacle was demolished; on the platform which resulted were garrisoned soldiers of the nearby Castle, who got their supplies thorough a system of ropes hanging to the fortress.
On 24 December 1499, the pope blocked all the old roads between Saint Peter and the Tiber, forcing the people to use the new thoroughfare; however, the demolition of the pyramid was not complete, since Raphael, who arrived in Rome in 1509, in a letter to Pope Leo X written in 1519 about the antiquities of the city, writes that he could still see the remains of the monument.
The adoption of the pyramidal shape for sepulchral monuments was popular during the Augustan period, in the context of cultural influences from Egypt.
The Vatican pyramid dated back presumably to the same age or to the first imperial age, and according to evidence was larger than the Cestia pyramid; as per 15th-century accounts, it had a square plan with sides long and was between 32 and 50 meters high.
Ferno writes also that during its demolition, which took place between April and 24 December 1499, the concrete of the building was so hard that it had to be demolished with a trip hammer; the bangs which resulted were so loud like those produced by beating a mountain of iron.
In 1948-49, during the works for the construction of the first block of the north side of Via della Conciliazione, it came to light a northwest/southeast-oriented foundation of concrete conglomeration made by tufa quarry waste, surrounded by a large pavement made with travertine slabs.
Picander wrote the libretto of the BWV 1160 cantata (also known as ), which otherwise, that is, apart from the likely borrowed opening chorus, survived without music.
The cantata transmitted in the BWV 248a fragment, consisting of four revised performance parts in the bundle of contemporary performance material for , is a sacred cantata for Michaelmas (29 September), likely first performed in 1734.
In doing so, he became the first footballer born in 2002 to play in the Bundesliga, and was the second youngest league debutant ever for Köln after Yann Aurel Bisseck.
Air Wales () was an airline operating flights between Cardiff International Airport and Hawarden Airport in Flintshire commencing in 1977 and ending 18 months later.
It began operations at Cardiff Airport on 6 December 1977 using a 9-seater Piper PA-31 Navajo Chieftain (G-BWAL) on its twice-daily scheduled route from Cardiff to Chester (Hawarden Airport).
Clwyd County Council provided the company with a start-up grant of £10,000 on the grounds that the service would improve communications between North East Wales and Cardiff.
In 1978, an Embraer EMB-110 Bandeirante (G-CELT) was added to the fleet to operate a service from Cardiff to Brussels connecting into Sabena's network.
With break-even estimated at some 15 months away, Air Wales, unable to raise sufficient working capital, ceased operations on 30 June 1979 and became part of Air Anglia and ultimately part of Air UK.

The work is valued by researchers for the purity of the Lithuanian language and for its Polish dedication that defended the use of the Lithuanian language in public life.
Jakub Wujek, rector of the Jesuit Academy in Vilnius, published two postils in Polish – a larger one in 1573–1575 and a smaller in 1579–1580.
It was not a summary of the larger postil, but a brand new work that used various texts by other authors, including Louis of Granada, Johann Wild (Ferus), Johann Eck, Johann Augustanus Faber, etc.
He used the 2nd edition of the Polish postil and later added details from the 3rd edition which was published in 1590 in Kraków.
Several times, the text refers to Pope Gregory XIII, who died in 1585, as the current pope though the text was given to the printing press of the Jesuit Academy in Vilnius in early 1595 (though, due to financial difficulties, it was not published until 1599).
They are kept at the Vilnius University Library (3 copies), National Martynas Mažvydas Library, Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore, Göttingen State and University Library, Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Vatican Library.
It was two short booklets (25 pages and 16 pages) believed to have been prepared by Simonas Stanevičius to showcase the beauty and lexical richness of the Lithuanian language and to encourage its development and use.
In the 19th century, Daukša and his texts became firmly established as key developments in the history of the Lithuanian language and started attracting academic interest.
Some surviving copies of the book have an image of the coat of arms (a rose from the Poraj coat of arms) of Merkelis Giedraitis, the Bishop of Samogitia and sponsor of the postil, with a Latin quatrain about it as well as an eight-line dedication to Giedraitis.
The Latin dedication survives in only one copy of the book which was kept by the Kražiai College and Simonas Stanevičius.
It is a panegyric work that praises Bishop Merkelis but, unlike many such works, does not portray excessive humility on Daukša's part.
Even though both Merkelis and Daukša were members of the clergy, the dedication does not reference the Bible or the popes and instead draws parallels with the Classical Antiquity.
Daukša praises Merkelis' work and accomplishments and states that he will earn gratitude from the homeland for his dedication, from the clergy for making their work easier, from the people for their salvation, and from others for saving the native language from abandonment and perish.
The postil is mainly known and valued for its Polish dedication to the reader which is part of the secondary school curriculum in Lithuania.
The dedication is a passionate and patriotic defense of the native language which is considered to be the key to the survival of the nation.
He wants to see the Lithuanian language preserved, perfected, and enriched and used in churches and state documents – at the time official documents used Church Slavonic, Latin, or Polish.
In his quest to promote the Lithuanian language, unlike many authors of the era, Daukša does not advertise the supposed Lithuanian roots from the Romans (see the Palemonids).
Daukša's declaration about the Lithuanian language resonated with the activists of the 19th-century Lithuanian National Revival who worked to purify and promote the Lithuanian language.
For example, he saw language as an element of the human nature and natural law which were divine; the Protestants saw human nature as corrupted by sin and requiring intellectual efforts to improve.
The main content is an example of the Baroque literature though it has some elements of Renaissance in its expressions and form.
The main theme is not the love of God, but the wrath of the harsh and vengeful God of the Old Testament.
In a typical Barque fashion, the sermons frequently discuss the pitiful temporary nature of every material thing, including the human body and life.
There is no earthly joy or worthwhile pursuit as death and the Apocalypse will turn everything to dust and rot (cf.
The sermons support feudal society and argue for unconditional obedience both to good and bad rulers as both were given their power by God.
The text often attacks the Protestants and tries to instill hatred towards them even hinting that the Protestants should be punished and persecuted for their beliefs.
Therefore, there is a marked difference between the dedications (Daukša's original works that show clear influence of Renaissance and humanism) and the translated sermons that are more medieval.
He often chose stronger and more expressive words than the Polish original to strengthen the emotional impact, to make the language more dynamic.
While these letters are part of the standard modern Lithuanian, they were forgotten and then re-imported from texts published in East Prussia.

Hans Heinrich Eggebrecht (5 January 1919 – 30 August 1999) was a German musicologist and Professor of historical musicology at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität in Freiburg.
His father was a Protestant minister and since 1929 superintendent in Prussian Schleusingen and early on sympathized with political right-wing movements.
At the beginning of his studies in 1937/38 at the in Hirschberg Eggebrecht was a member of the National Socialist German Students' League (NSDStB) and was temporarily active as a music consultant for Hitler Youth.
According to Claudia Zenck, who evaluated the estate in the Freiburg University Archive, he was only fit for service to a limited extent, also used every opportunity to make music during his training and afterwards, and was trained as a driver.
He took part in the Western Front and was stationed there in Besançon, busy with prisoner transports, patrolling and reporting journeys.
After his examination he had to report to the troops in April 1941 and was stationed in Zagreb and at the Romanian border.
In 1941, shortly after the beginning of the German Attack on the Soviet Union, the Feldgendarmerie Department 683, 2nd Company, 3rd Platoon, to which Eggebrecht belonged, was deployed as part of the 11th Army in the conquest of the Crimea.
According to researcher Claudia Maurer Zenck, he was released from duty in those days until Christmas in order to prepare for the NCO examination and was also promoted to NCO one day before Christmas; his involvement was not yet proven by any source, not even indirectly.
According to music historian Boris von Haken Eggebrecht stood in the so-called trellis for at least one day, through which the victims were driven immediately before their murder; this assertion was meanwhile rejected as unprovable and even unlikely.
Haken refers to seven field post letters from Eggebrecht to members of the fellowship Johann Sebastian Bach of the NSD-Studentenbund in Berlin in particular from 1942/43, which he discovered and which according to Haken show a National Socialist attitude.
Two days after the fall of Sevastopol, Eggebrecht appeared on the radio as a pianist and played Mozart and Beethoven (6 July).
In the period before that, he was also involved in guarding POVs, a large number of whom were involved in the conquest of the Kerch Peninsula.
Eggebrecht consistently concealed his activities in the field police from 1945 and claimed that he had been with the tank fighters throughout the war and then with the infantry.
Eggebrecht studied from autumn 1945 with Richard Münnich, Hans Joachim Moser and Max Schneider in Weimar, Berlin, Munich and Jena, where he promoviert as Dr. phil..
In 1949, without having to face a denazification trial, he received an assistant position with Walther Vetter at the Institute of Musicology of the Humboldt University of Berlin.
He then took up a position as a private lecturer at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, which he temporarily interrupted in 1956/57 for a substitute professorship at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg.
From 1961 until his Emeritus in 1987, Eggebrecht succeeded Gurlitt as professor and director of the Department of Musicology at the University of Freiburg.
Eggebrecht's main research interests were the music of Heinrich Schütz, Johann Sebastian Bach and Protestant church music in general, the music of the First Viennese School, Gustav Mahler and the music of the 20th century.
Among his students were Peter Andraschke, Christoph von Blumröder, Werner Breig, Reinhold Brinkmann, Elmar Budde, Fritz Reckow, Albrecht Riethmüller, Wolfram Steinbeck and Michael Wittmann.
Unlike many musicologists, Eggebrecht sought dialogue with a number of contemporary composers (for example with Wolfgang Rihm, who studied with him in Freiburg, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Mathias Spahlinger).
By July 1906 it was known that the HAL had ordered a new Rotterdam of 23,000 tons at Harland and Wolff.

However, the 1,500 tons of copper loaded in New York could not be unloaded from the lower decks because the harbor of Southampton was closed.
After most Americans had left Europe, and because migration had come to a standstill, the number of passengers became insufficient to make a profit.
On arrival in Rotterdam on 2 September this proved not to be the case, and the fire was extinguished with water.
These trips with American soldiers continued for some months, and gradually the regular service from New York to Rotterdam was restored.

The Rocketdyne AR2 was a family of liquid-fuelled rocket engines designed and produced in the United States (US) during the 1950s and 1960s.
The Rocketdyne division of North American Aviation developed a relatively small liquid-fuelled rocket engine for thrust augmentation of manned aircraft during the late 1950s.
The AR2 is a single-chamber rocket engine burning kerosene (JP-4 or JP-5) jet fuel oxidised with 90% High Test Peroxide (HO / HTP) allowing the engine to use the same fuel as the aircraft fuel system.
The AR2-3 had variable-thrust and single lever throttle control, regulating flow of oxidiser to the turbo-pump gas-generator and thus flow of propellants to the combustion chamber.
The AR2-3 was evaluated in 1999 as part of the Future-X Demonstrator Engine project, for possible use in the Boeing X-37 Reusable Upper Stage Vehicle at a thrust of , with a specific impulse of 245 seconds.

Gibson was educated at the University of Sussex where she studied a PhD looking at mosquito behaviour and was awarded the degree in 1981.
She was a postdoctoral researcher at the Silwood Park campus of Imperial College London and later a lecturer at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
In 1998 she moved to the Natural Resource Institute at the University of Greenwich where she leads on Pest Behaviour Research.
Gibson's research looks the sensory physiology and behaviour of mosquitoes and how this influences their interactions with humans and other animals.
She found that mosquitoes can adapt their acoustic behaviour to aid mating, they will adjust their wingbeat frequency to synchronise with that of a mosquito of the opposite sex flying near them, so as to aid mating in mid air.
Her team subsequently found that mosquitoes of the same sex or of different species are not able to match wingbeat frequencies and are therefore not able to mate.
Gibson's team have created a new mosquito trap that can mimic human body odour and incorporates design to encourage mosquitoes to land on the trap surface.

The Hatfield and Reading Turnpike was an English turnpike road created in the 1760s to provide a route that connected the Great North Road (the modern A1) with the Holyhead Road (A5) and the Bath Road (A4).
It is said that the Marquis of Salisbury, who lived at Hatfield House, wanted a route to the Great West Road avoiding central London, for onward travel to the spa towns of Bath and Cheltenham where, as a sufferer of gout, he often took the waters.
, With others (including the Earl of Essex, who suffered from a similar affliction, and who lived at Cassiobury House near Watford) he sponsored an Act of Parliament passed in 1757 for the building of a road from Hatfield to Reading.
The Reading and Hatfield Turnpike Trust was set up by a further Act passed in 1768, to improve the route between the two towns.
It ran via St Albans, Watford, Rickmansworth, Amersham, High Wycombe and Marlow, with two alternative routes south and west from there, one to Knowl Hill (on the Great West Road between Maidenhead and Reading) and the other to Reading itself via Henley-on-Thames.
On classification by the newly formed Ministry of Transport in 1922, it formed parts of the A414 (Hatfield - St Albans), A412 (St Albans - Watford - Rickmansworth), A404 (Rickmansworth - Amersham), A416 (Amersham - High Wycombe - Marlow - Knowl Hill) and A32 (Marlow - Henley - Reading).
In 1935, the A404 was extended along the A416 section between Amersham and the A4 to make it easier for those who wanted to use the route for its original function, while the A32 section through Henley was renumbered the A4155 .

She monitors British mosquito species to look at whether their distribution and behaviour is changing in response to global climate change and whether there might be a risk of Malaria disease transmission in Northern Europe.
In particular she has highlighted that the use of water butts in UK gardens can create a habitat in which female mosquitoes can lay their eggs.

Whaling was an important economic activty in Chile from the 19th century to 1983 when the last whale was hunted in Chilean waters.
A passive style of whaling may have been practised by the canoe-faring peoples of the fjords and channels of southern Chile during Pre-hispanic times.
Similarly to the peoples from the fjords and channels inhabitants of more northern parts of Chile practised pasive hunting from at least colonial times to well into the 20th century.
The presence of New England whalers in Chilean Waters catalyzed the local whaling industry which had developed considersbly by 1868 with 19 whaling ships being registered in Chile.
In the 1960s the whaling industry declined severily and the processing factories in Bajo Molle and Quintay closed in 1965 and 1967 respectively.
The statue of Notre-Dame-du-Saguenay is a statue located on Cap Trinité, at the mouth of Baie Trinité, near the village of Rivière-Éternité, and the river Saguenay River, in Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
It is made entirely of white pine and is covered with thin sheets of lead to protect it from the elements.
One winter day when he was heading towards Lac Saint-Jean, the ice broke under his feet and he fell into the water; he struggled but in vain.
At the Havre de Québec, we load the Notre-Dame-du-Saguenay statue on board the Union steamer from the company St-Laurent, a boat that provides service between Quebec and Chicoutimi.
The steep wall of Cape Trinity making it impossible to dock a boat as imposing as the steamer Union, we leave the statue at L’Anse-Saint-Jean.
Immersed in water, it is then pulled from this place over a distance of about nine miles by two men in a rowboat.
They install wooden beams along the cape as well as a hoist actuating a cable about 50 feet in length that they fix on the side of the mountain.
An attempt is made to hoist one of the three parts of the statue for the first time, but the attempt is unsuccessful because the weight is too great.
The statue is therefore separated into fourteen pieces, previously assembled by Louis Jobin using wooden dowels, to manage to hoist it.
Slowly, we go up the pieces by raising them one by one 50 feet at a time until the first level of Cape Trinité.

De Jong was born on 19 May 1866 as the daughter of the lawyer Sir Johan Jan François de Jong van Beek en Donk and Anna Cécile Wilhelmine Jeanne Jacqueline Nahuys, as the second of three children.
She remarried in Paris on 28 May 1904, to Michel Frenkel and gave birth to a son, Pierre Michel, in 1905.
Her earlier divorce had caused a break with her family, and her death in Méréville, France, on 15 June 1944 went mostly unnoticed in her native country, the Netherlands.
Even though many historians dismissed her because she was from a higher class, she was one of the, if not the, most famous feminist authors in the Netherlands around the 1900s.
The novel encompasses a story about the first female lawyer (fictional) in the Netherlands, and also touches upon how women can build their own meaningful lives without having to depend on others.
Because of this pamphlet in novel form, the book did end up with the desired public, namely women from the bourgeoisie.
However, the novel was criticised, because it was only focussing on higher class women, and does not give a voice to lower class women.
Hilda was a role model for higher class women, because she was able to combine her career as a lawyer with a good marriage and motherhood, and the novel showed how girls can create a meaningful life.
According to literary critic Henri Smissaert, De Jong's second novel Lilia depicted too much immoral behavior, and did not offer a counter perspective to this behavior.
On the other hand, Smissaert says, she is a person of flesh and blood, in contrast to Hilda and Corona in Hilda van Suylenberg.
Author Anna de Savornin Lohman argues that it is bad to exercise free love, because the change in morality would not lead to the liberation of women.
In addition, Lilia is seen as egoistic, because she only thinks about herself and not about her child, who will now have to live with the backlog that Lilia has given him as an outcast.

After 1997, all non-local graduates were required to earn the LMCHK licensure in order to register to practice in Hong Kong.
The Licentiate Society traces its formation to 15 June 2017, when the doctors started a popular WhatsApp group and began meeting regularly.
On 26 November 2019, the group incorporated as a nonprofit company limited by guarantee with the name The Medical Licentiate Society of Hong Kong.
The Licentiate Society has LMCHK doctors from over 20 different licensing jurisdictions including (in order by relative numbers of doctors): UK, Mainland China, Australia, Ireland, USA, Canada, South Africa, Chinese Taipei, Singapore, Belgium, India, Korea, Nepal, Netherland-Antilles, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Russia, United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela.

No records of her during her life in the town have been located in the Wisbech & Fenland Museum that confirm the Stuart royal link; it was only after her death that the details of her life were recorded in oral histories of Wisbech residents.
Stuart's father, James II of England, was an English prince in exile in France following the execution of his father, Charles I. when she was born.
She left court for a life in keeping with her values as a Quaker around age 34, when her father, by then King of England, was exiled to France.
She left in disguise, perhaps a Quaker's dress, and went north, ending in Wisbech, working first in fields and then as a spinner.

The basic structural unit of chromatin is the nucleosome: this consists of the core octamer of histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) as well as a linker histone and about 180 base pairs of DNA.
As December 15, 2019, no diseases are attributed to this mark although Pleckstrin homology domain's (PHIP) targetable bromodomain specifically binds H4K91ac which could implicate PHIP in the progression of melanoma.
In histone acetylation and deacetylation, histone proteins are acetylated and deacetylated on lysine residues in the N-terminal tail as part of gene regulation.
The regulation of transcription factors, effector proteins, molecular chaperones, and cytoskeletal proteins by acetylation and deacetylation is a significant post-translational regulatory mechanism These regulatory mechanisms are analogous to phosphorylation and dephosphorylation by the action of kinases and phosphatases.
Not only can the acetylation state of a protein modify its activity, but this post-translational modification may also crosstalk with phosphorylation, methylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation, and others for dynamic control of cellular signaling.
The post-translational modification of histone tails by either histone modifying complexes or chromatin remodeling complexes are interpreted by the cell and lead to complex, combinatorial transcriptional output.
It is thought that a histone code dictates the expression of genes by a complex interaction between the histones in a particular region.

Global Climate Action, originally known as Non-state Actor Zone for Climate Action (NAZCA), is a portal launched in 2014 by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The site is important because, even if all the pledges in Paris Agreement as they are in 2019, are fulfilled, the temperature will rise by 3.2 degrees in this century.
But, a report published in September 2019 before the 2019 UN Climate Action Summit says, that the full implementation of all pledges taken by international coalitions, countries, cities, regions and businesses (not only in the Paris Agreement) will be sufficient to limit temperature rise to 2 degrees but not to 1.5 degrees.
The Mystical Nativity or Adoration in the Forest was painted by Fra Filippo Lippi (c. 1406 – 1469) around 1459 as the altarpiece for the Magi Chapel in the new Palazzo Medici in Florence.
It is a highly individual depiction of the familiar scene of the Nativity of Jesus in art, placed in a mountainous forest setting, with debris from woodcutting all around, rather than the familiar stable in Bethlehem, and with the usual figures and animals around the mother and child replaced by others.
The painting is in oil on a poplar panel, and the painted surface measures 127 x 116 cm, with the panel being 129.5 x 118.5 cm.
They are on a patch of ground with grass, several types of flower in bloom, but also some of the debris of forestry that appears throughout the forest background.
However, he is shown as perhaps five or six years old, a much bigger age difference with the newborn Jesus than the church taught.
Above John the Baptist is the praying figure of Saint Romuald (c.951 – c. 1025/27), founder of the Camaldolese order of monks, to which the Medici family, the patrons of the painting had connections.
At the top of the painting, slightly off-centre, are the two other persons of the Christian Holy Trinity, God the Father and the Holy Spirit, represented as a dove.
John's figure almost reaches the left edge of the painted surface, but on the right of the composition there is a generous slice of background, interrupted only by Mary's robe.
It is not uncommon to have saints and persons not mentioned in the biblical accounts in Nativity scenes, but in addition to the normal elements.
The scene is set on a steep slope in a rather dark forest, mostly consisting of pine trees, which runs right to the top of the composition, so that no sky can be seen.
A small goldfinch is perched on a stump at the front of the picture-space, near Jesus's foot; a common symbol in art for the Passion of Christ in the future.
Only nine Florentine families were given the right in this period, and most of the identifiable altarpieces for such chapels featured several saints associated with the family, often the namesakes of members.
These show the large and lively processions of the three Biblical Magi and their crowded trains making their way to Bethlehem, and include a number of portraits of the Medici family.
The Medici, in particular Lucrezia Tornabuoni Medici, wife of the head of the family Piero de' Medici, were supporters of the order, and in the 1560s financed extensive rebuilding at Camaldoli, including cells reserved for their use when they visited.
It is agreed that the forest in the painting represents the thick pine forests on the steep slopes around the monastery.
Woodcutting was a part of daily life for the community there, and timber for Florentine builders a major source of income.
Many of the monks lived as hermits in small huts in forest clearings where they grew crops on their own plots.
Because of this passage, an axe was an attribute of John the Baptist in art, though by this period it was rare in Western art.
It may also have had other specific and personal meanings for Lippi, arising from the traditions of his own Carmelite order.
Although there is surviving correspondence showing that Piero de' Medici took a considerable interest in the Gozzoli frescos, making his wishes prevail, there is nothing comparable for the altarpiece, and it has been argued that his wife Lucrezia was more significant for that.
Another candidate is the Archbishop of Florence until his death in 1459, Saint Antoninus of Florence, who knew the Medici well.
The painting was created at the height of the power of the Medici family; Piero was dead within a few years, and the power of their many enemies grew until the main family members were expelled from Florence in 1494.
Their goods were confiscated, and the Lippi was for several years hung as the altarpiece in the chapel of the Palazzo Vecchio, headquarters of the republic.
When the Medici returned in 1512 they reclaimed it and it returned to their palace, where it remained for the next three centuries.
The Englishman Edward Solly, whose large fortune came appropriately from trading timber, bought the painting in 1814, during the upheavals of the Napoleonic wars, and it was acquired for the Berlin collection in 1821, as part of a large sale of his collection.
It became famous and popular with the public on display in Berlin over the next century, and in 1940 was moved with other important works to safe storage in a Berlin bunker.
In 1945 this was not felt safe enough, and with thousands of other artworks and other valuables it was moved to a potassium mine.
On arrival they were hung in the basement of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, but the collection was not opened to the public, as the seizure had become controversial, with criticism in the press and Congress.
Eventually the paintings were displayed as a temporary exhibition in the National Gallery, which toured to twelve cities in 1948–49; they were then sent back to Germany.
After returning to West Berlin, the painting had a number of homes in the Berlin State Museums before the new building of the Gemäldegalerie at the Kulturforum was opened in 1998.
At 14:11 PST (06:11 UTC) on December 15, 2019, the province of Davao del Sur on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines was struck by an earthquake measuring 6.8 .
The strike-slip component of the convergence is accommodated partly by the Philippine Fault System and partly by the Cotabato Fault System, a network of mainly NW-SE trending sinistral (left-lateral) strike-slip faults that form the boundary between the Cotabato Arc and the Central Mindanao Volcanic Belt.
In the area of the December 2019 earthquake, the individual faults include the NW-SE trending Makilala–Malungon Fault, Tangbulan Fault and the Central Digos Fault.
The maximum felt intensity was given as VII MMI on the ANSS ShakeMap and VII PEIS in the PHIVOLCS summary for this event.
The focal mechanism indicates strike-slip faulting with either sinistral movement on a NW-SE trending fault or dextral movement on a SW-NE trending fault, but the distribution of the aftershocks are consistent with the sinistral fault plane.
There were a series of large aftershocks, including nine of M ≥ 5.0 in the first 48 hours after the mainshock, with the largest being an 5.7 event about an hour afterwards, which had a maximum felt intensity of VII (MMI).
The greatest damage from the earthquake was in the area around the epicenter, in the towns of Matanao, Magsaysay, Hagonoy and Padada.
At least one road was declared impassable in the Matanao area, a hospital was destroyed in Hagonoy and there was significant damage to a police station and fire station in Padada.
A total of 5,973 houses were destroyed in Davao del Sur, with 31,832 suffering some damage and a further 32 in North Cotabato.
As of December 23, at least 13 people had been killed, one remained missing and a total of 210 people were reported injured in the quake.
As of December 29, 40,424 people from 10,505 families were reported to be sheltering in a total of 102 evacuation centers after the earthquake, with a further 100,427 people (23,321 families) being assisted by friends and family.
The opera was the first to be sung in a mixture of English and Italian, and it was one of the first London operas in which the castrato Nicolò Grimaldi (known as Nicolini) performed.
Camilla, heiress to the throne of the Volscians, disguised as Dorinda, a shepherdess (soprano); Prenesto, prince of Latium (soprano); Latinus, king of Latium (tenor); Lavinia, his daughter, (soprano); Turnus, king of the Rutuli, disguised as Armidoro, a Moorish slave (soprano); Metius, confidant of Camilla (tenor); Linco, servant of Camilla (bass); Tullia, Lavinia's maid (tenor); and a Hunter (tenor).
Act I: Camilla, disguised as a shepherdess, is hiding in the Volscian countryside and plans to overthrow the usurper King Latinus from the throne that is rightfully hers.
Before the statues of her ancestors, Camilla swears revenge against Latinus and turns to the people to stir up the struggle.
Meanwhile, Turnus, observed by Latinus, brings Lavinia poison and a dagger, offering her a choice of deaths as a way out of her impasse.
However, unable to kill her himself, he confesses his real identity to Latinus, offering his own life in exchange for hers.
The adaptation by McSwiney and Haym cut as much of the recitative as possible from libretto, as this was an unfamiliar form in English and difficult to write as effectively as in Italian.
While the first performances were entirely in English, some sections were turned back into Italian to accommodate foreign singers, so that the performances took place in a changing mix of two languages.
The original cast was: Holcomb (Prenesto), Hughs (Turnus), Lewis Ramondon (Metius), Richard Leveridge (Linco), Catherine Tofts (Camilla), Joanna Maria Lindelheim (Lavinia), and Mrs Lyndsey (Tullia).
The role of Turnus was taken by Valentino Urbani (Valentini), of Lavinia by Joanna Maria Lindelheim, and of Prenesto by Margherita de l'Épine.
The other roles were sung in English by Purbeck Turner (Latinus), Littleton Ramondon (Metius), Richard Leveridge (Linco), Catherine Tofts (Camilla) and Mary Lindsey (Tullia).
The original Italian opera by Stampiglia and Bononcini's premiered in Naples at the Teatro di S Bartolomeo on 27 December 1696.
It went in to become the most successful work of its period; the libretto was used in 38 known productions before 1767.
Bononcini's score was substantially used in 27 of these while there were 38 settings by other composers including Leo, Vinci (Parma 1725) and Porpora.

Gronda lagunare (lagunar eaves) is a term used to indicate the area of the Lagoon of Venice by its mainland shore.
The term is derived from the fact that it receives the waters from the rivers and streams which flow into the lagoon from the drainage basin of the plain of the mainland by the lagoon.
Since it is between the inflow of freshwater form rivers and sea saltwater, in its natural state it would be an area with freshwater wetlands, barene (saltmarshes), velme (mudflats), and lagunar channels which forms a transitional belt between the mainland and the open lagoon rather than forming a fixed boundary, with its conformation changing according to the interplay of the hydrodynamic forces of the lagoon and their hydrodynamic equilibrium.
However, this complex hydrologic and environmental system has undergone dramatic changes, both natural and, especially, man-made and has by and large lost it character as a transitional belt.
The drainage basin is a mildly inclined plain of alluvial formation to the north and along the sides of the lagoon which drains the watercourses coming from the Dolomites range of the Alps or from outcrop springs in the plain.
It is also reached by the tidal flows which come through the lagoon from the inlets of its coastal shoreline in its south.
A coastal lagoon is formed by the conjoint interaction between the freshwater of the inland watercourses and of the saltwater of the sea and is subject to a delicate hydrologic equilibrium between these.
The sea coastline is composed of the peninsulas of Cavallino and Sottomarina, which form the northern and southern part respectively, and the barrier islands of Lido and Pellestrina in the middle.
Over centuries the sediments brought in by the inland watercourses can cause significant silting and eventually fill the lagoon in, which can be turned into it into a delta by the force of the rivers.
One is to render the inlets non-navigable through the accumulation of sand carried by the current and, ultimately, closing them, turning the lagoon into inland waters closed off from the sea.
The other effect is an opposite one, a progressive erosion of the barrier islands through exceptional tides and, especially, storm surges.
If the sea was to erode the barrier islands to an insignificant size or submerge them, the lagoon would be turned into a coastal bay.
The Republic of Venice built a series of murazzi (imposing walls made of Istrian stone) along the seaward coasts of Pellestrina and Sottomarina to protect them from erosion by the sea between 1748 and 1784.
The Republic also diverted many of the rivers which drain into the lagoon away from it to prevent silting in some of its areas.
In the late 19th and early 20th century breakwaters were built at the inlets to stop the accumulation of sand there and ensure their navigability.
The Zero could overflow and pour its waters into the Dese, which in turn would overflow and pour its waters into the Marzenego.
Downpours could lead to frequent overflows and floods in the countryside over a wide area and changes in the courses of riverbeds.
Due to the low gradient of the pain there was also a tendency for water to stagnate in the lower tracts of the rivers.
In addition, the rivers continued on into the shallow lagoon, often reaching the sea, forming rivulets between the lagunar saltmarshes, bringing sediments into it and causing silting and mixing freshwater and saltwater, creating brackish water marshes which were liable to lead to problems with malaria.
Since the instability of the hydrogeography of the gronda lagunare, which could lead to floods, silting, stagnation of water and the development of wetlands, the Republic of Venice carried out many river diversion works over several centuries.
Venice's main concern was to protect the lagoon form silting, which could hamper the navigation of the lagunar channels and the gronda rivers which provided communication routes for her trade with the mainland.
As a result, Venice created diversion canals close to the edge to the lagoon as it was cheaper than carrying out such works further inland.
In addition, the canals further inland would have had a greater incline, guaranteeing a good pace of water flow which would have prevented floods and water stagnation.
Instead, canals by the lagoon had an insufficient incline, which meant that they could easily overflow and create floods and pools of stagnant water and wetlands, worsening the hydrologic situation of the gronda lagunare.
The Osellino canal was dug between 1510 and 1520 to partially divert the waters of the River Marzenego which flowed into the lagoon at Mestre.
It runs along the central part of the lagoon to the east of Mestre, close to its edge, and ends at the mouth of the River Dese, in the northern part of the lagoon.
Being so close to the lagoon, it lacked incline, flowed too slowly and created areas of stagnant waters and wetlands which caused problems with malaria.
The Republic of Venice never implemented plans for canals to collect the waters of all the rivers in the area (including the Muson, Dese and Zero) further inland to effectively prevent flooding because it was too expensive.
It diverts the waters of the River Sile which flowed into the northern part of the lagoon to the east of the above-mentioned rivers and takes them out of the lagoon, running along its edge.
In 1871 the left bank of the canal was raised and in 1889 a siphon underpass was built to allow two local rivers (the Vallio e Meolo) to flow into the lagoon.
To the west of Mestre, the River Brenta and other nearby watercourses caused floods and silting in the central area of the lagoon which led to disruptions in that part of the mainland countryside and obstructed navigation on the watercourses which connected Venice with the mainland.
To counter this, between the 14th century and the early 16th century, the Republic of Venice diverted the waters of this fluvial system, especially the Brenta, with a series of canals.
Between 1489 and 1507 the Brenta Nova canal was dug to divert the Brenta away from its original mouth at Fusina, near Venice, to Conche, in the southern lagoon.
Between 1554 and 1577 an embankment (the Parador di Brondolo) was built to take the mouth of the Brenta at Conche, together with the mouth of the nearby River Bacchiglione, away from the lagoon of Venice.
The two rivers were made to flow into the lagoon of Brondolo, which was to the south of the lagoon of Venice and connected to it.
This lagoon, which did not have a direct access to the sea, was turned into a freshwater lake and, later, it became completely silted up.
The southern part of the Lagoon of Venice, having lost the sediment input for the Brenta, became exposed to the erosive effect of the tidal flow, which led to a decrease in its above-water lands, a reduction of its saltmarshes and the progressive erosion of its inner deltas and of the fluvial channels that cross it.
A new canal, the Taglio Novissimo, was dug between 1610 and 1791 to divert the waters of the rivers Magra, Muson, Bottenigo, Volpago, Bionca and Tergola as well as those of the Brenta.
This problem was solved only in the late 19th century with the creation of the Cunetta canal which starts much further inland and to the east of the lagoon (at Stra, near Padua) and joins the Brenta Nova canal at its southern end and thus has the required incline.
Large areas of the lagoon became exposed above water during low tides and the inlets which provided communication to the sea became poorly navigable because of an accumulation of sand brought by the sea currents.
In the early 17th century Benedetto Castelli, an engineer, argued that the former was due to the scarcity of the inflow of freshwater into the lagoon caused by the diversion of the River Brenta and that the latter was due to the sand brought by the sea current no longer being counteracted by the freshwater flowing into the lagoon from the opposite direction.
He proposed to bring back the waters of the Brenta in a controlled manner so as to bring back the inflow of water into the lagoon but in a way that would prevent silting.
The problem of sand accumulation at the Malamocco and Lido inlets was eventually resolved with the construction of breakwaters between 1838 and 1856 (for the Malamocco inlet) and between 1881 and 1910 (for the Lido inlet).
The river diversions and the resulting loss of freshwater input into the lagoon also led to a reduction in the areas of freshwater wetlands in the gronda lagunare.
Such works create rigid structures which make the shore or bank rigid compared to a natural state and constrains its waters.
In relation to the gronda lagunare, it indicates the development of artificial shores along the gronda and, through this, the creation of a fixed lagunar boundary which prevents natural fluctuations of its edge with a consequent loss of gronda's character as a transitional area between the open lagoon and the mainland with lagunar deltas and wetlands.
This situation started to draw attention in the 1970s, when scientists determined that this exacerbates the risk of flooding in Venice and elsewhere in the lagoon.
The river delta which was created in the southern part of the lagoon by the Brenta Nova canal and the nearby areas saw extensive land reclamations in the early 20th century.
This dramatically changed the characteristics of this area, wiping out the local saltmarshes and patches of the lagoon and completely rearranging the local lagunar hydrographic network.
A new airport, the Venice Marco Polo Airport, was built by the edge of the central part of the lagoon, in the Tessera area in 1961.
The airport was built over part of the Osellino canal (which was covered), some 500 metres before it ends in the River Dese.
Its purpose was to link the Malamocco inlet access of the sea into the lagoon to a second industrial zone at the port of Marghera and make it accessible to large ships.
With the development of large oil tankers in the 1960s, the project was modified and the canal was dug to a greater depth to allow these vessels though.
The sediments which were dredged to create the Malamocco-Marghera canal were used to create artificial islands, the casse di colmata A, (155 hectares), B, (385 ha) and D-E (752 ha), for the creation of a third industrial area at the port of Marghera.
The original plan envisaged further artificial islands that would fill in the whole of the saltmarsh area between Marghera and Chioggia, in the southern part of the lagoon.
However, studies carried out by scientists after the disastrous 1966 flood in Venice and the lagoon showed that the islands reduced the area in which the tidal flow could expand and that this had an impact both on lagoon's water level and the efficiency of water turnover in the lagoon.
To try to alleviate these problems a number of channels which had been filled in to create the islands were reopened to reconnect the waters behind these islands to the rest of the lagoon.
These are the Volpego and Fiumesino, which cut through the cassa B, the Taglio Vecchio and Mattoni, which cut through the cassa B and the Avesa, which cuts through the cassa A.
There are 33 valli which cover c. 92 km of the waters of the lagoon (1/6, 17% of the total surface).
The banks were moved to open the valli to the outside waters when there was a need to raise the inner water level.
They forbade the construction of fixed banks because they did not want any impediments to the free expansion of the tidal flow.
In 1624 the valli were declared property of those who fished and their public use was barred to preserve their functionality.
In the 19th century, valli owners started to enclose their fish farms with fixed banks as an engineer indicated that it made fish farming more efficient.
A 1984 law prescribed studies and projects for works aimed at the hydrologic re-balancing of the lagoon, stopping its it degradation and eliminating its causes.
It made particular reference to restoring the previous depths of canals which had been dug deeper and the opening of the valli da pesca to the expansion of the tides.
A 2000 study by the Environment Ministry estimated that the opening of the valli could on average reduce the tidal peaks by 20.2 cm and, in the case of the island of Burano, reduce tides between 9.10 cm and nearly 10 cm.
Another problem which developed in the 20th century is the increasing silting of the lagoon's peripheral channels and canals in the areas along the gronda lagunare.
This is particularly accentuated in the southern part of the lagoon because of the construction of a road on an embankment which crosses it and almost completely, blocking the tidal flow in the area to its south.
The opening of the valli da pesca can contribute to an extension of the tracts of the lagunar channels in the gronda lagunare and this can help to bring in the tidal flow to the areas at the edge of the lagoon, increasing the area which can absorb this tidal flow.
A pilot project, the opening up of the Valle Figheri, in the southern part of the lagoon, which was chosen as a test case, was completed in 1999.
The aim was to stop the degradation processes of the lagoon and to improve the quality of the water in the peripheral area of the lagoon where water circulation and turnover occurs with difficulty.
It has a barrier with 20 gates to regulate the flow of the tide between the open part of the valle and the lagoon.
The opening of the valli da pesca can also be of great value for the regeneration of the gronda lagunare areas by restoring it as a transition belt with the formation of wetlands and reed beds.
In the past 50–60 years there has been an increased appreciation of the value and benefits of wetlands and reed beds.
These can improve the geomorphology of the gronda lagunare and also its ecology as they provide an ideal habitat for diverse fauna and flora.
It notes that wetlands ecosystems can have some of the highest ecosystem service values compared to other ecosystems due to their importance in clean water provision, natural hazards mitigation and carbon storage.
Thirty-nine hectares of phytodepuration wetlands have been created along the gronda lagunare to restore its water purification capacity and the environmental characteristics of the gronda lagunare, which used to have woods, ponds, marches and freshwater wetlands.
They have been created by the river mouths along the lagoon to reconstruct wetland areas which act as a transition between the mainland and the lagoon where aquatic and non-aquatic plants and various communities of organisms absorb in a natural way the large quantities of nitrogen and phosphate which would otherwise be introduced into the lagoon.
These transitional wetlands are needed to ensure that the lagunar system has the capacity to deal with rising water events and peaks in pollution loads, maintaining its purification efficacy.

The game's first trailer was revealed in December 2019 at The Game Awards, where it was identified to be the first game confirmed for release on the PlayStation 5, due to be released in late 2020.
The team competes in the Moto3 World Championship, the MotoE World Cup and the FIM CEV Repsol Moto3 Junior World Championship and European Talent Cup.
The team was formed by Paolo Simoncelli in 2013 after the death of his son, MotoGP rider Marco Simoncelli, at the 2011 Malaysian Grand Prix.
The formation of the team was also supported by compatriot Fausto Gresini, who had been Simoncelli's team boss at the time of his death.
Simoncelli quickly realized that in order for his riders to get to the World Championship level, they would need to prove themselves in the more competitive and better-organized Spanish FIM CEV Repsol Moto3 Junior World Championship, so the team began competing in that series in 2015.
Sic58 achieved their first taste of international success with a win from Italian rider Tony Arbolino at the second race in the 2016 CEV round in Jerez.
In 2017, Sic58 entered the Moto3 World Championship with existing team rider Tony Arbolino partnered with new signing Tatsuki Suzuki, a Japanese rider with previous Moto3 World Championship experience.
Suzuki achieved points finishes in all races he completed, including a best finish of 4th, but 7 retirements limited him to 71 points and 14th position in the riders' standings.
The season was only a slight improvement over 2017, with both Suzuki and Antonelli repeating the former's 71 points and finishing 14th and 15th in the riders' standings respectively.
The win occurred in the fourth round of the championship at Jerez, coincidentally the same location of Marco Simoncelli's maiden World Championship victory in the former 125cc class, leading to an emotional celebration from the team.
The remainder of the season was however plagued by multiple injuries for Antonelli and 8 retirements for Suzuki, limiting both riders to 7th and 8th in the riders' standings respectively, and the team to 2nd in the teams' standings.
The team was additionally granted a slot in the inaugural season of the MotoE World Cup, achieving one 3rd place podium finish at the San Marino round.

On November 27, 1968 he was elected as House Majority Floor Leader after defeating four other candidates on the third ballot with 36 out of 71 votes.
On January 13, 1971 he introduced an constitutional amendment to Indiana's constitution that would lower the voting age from 21 years old to 18 years old two months ahead of the federal 26th Amendment.
He considered running in the Republican primary against Representative Earl Landgrebe in the Second Congressional District during the 1970 election, but later chose not to.
On November 9, 1971 Boehning announced that he would challenge Landgrebe for the Republican nomination in Indiana's Second Congressional District later citing Landgrebe's narrow victory in 1970 and him being the only member of Indiana's Republican delegation to refuse to join the Indiana section of the Committee for the Re-Election of the President.
During the primary Charles A. Halleck, who had served in the district before Landgrebe and House Majority and Minority Leader, gave his endorsement to Boehning.
Giovanni Pietro Toesca (12 July 1877 - 9 March 1962) was an Italian academic and art historian, notable as one of the most important historians of medieval to 20th century art.
Born in Pietra Ligure, he studied in Rome under Adolfo Venturi and began his own career as a teacher at Milan's Accademia scientifico-letteraria in 1905.
He moved to Florence in 1914 and then Rome in 1926, remaining in the latter city until the end of his teaching career in 1948 and also dying there in 1962.
In 1939 he joined the technical council of Italy's Istituto Centrale per il Restauro, now the Istituto superiore per la conservazione ed il restauro.
He was also director of the medieval and modern art sections of the 1929-1937 Enciclopedia Italiana and national member of the Accademia dei Lincei from 1946 onwards.
He married the art historian and essayist Elena Berti (1900-1967) and they had one child, Ilaria Toesca, who followed her parents into art history.
The Synagogue Status Quo Ante from Târgu Mureș (also known as the Great temple or the Great synagogue), located at No.
21 Școlii street, entrance at #23), is the cultural centre for the small Jewish community in the city of Târgu Mureș proper, as well as the larger Transilvanian region.
Over the next few decades, the Jewish community in the city grew very quickly, such that by the time Transilvania, under Austro-Hungarian control, was known as Grand Principality of Transylvania, it was second in size only to the one in Alba Iulia.
By around 1785 or so, the Jewish community in Târgu Mureș had just one wooden synagogue to congregate in, which could fit between 150–200 people.
The size of the Jewish population continued to grow through the first part of the XXth century, up until the start of World War 2, passing 2755 in 1910 and 3246 in 1920 respectively, to a peak of 5693 in 1941.
By the time of the Interwar period, the community was operating two synagogues – the Great Synagogue on Școlii street, and another one on Brăilei street, for a total seating capacity of 1200.
The Second Vienna Award and the annexation of northern Transylvania into Hungary in September 1940 was catastrophic for the Jewish community in the city.
By 1944, the city had attracted many refugees from the smaller cities and villages in the area, and the population was estimated to be around 8000, representing approximately 16% of the population of Târgu Mureș.
The Hungarian authorities, under instructions from admiral Miklós Horthy – who was at the time regent of the Kingdom of Hungary and an ally to the Third Reich – moved the Jewish population into a ghetto installed in an ancient brick factory.
Between 27 May and 8 June 1944, under orders received from Adolf Eichmann, the Jewish population from Târgu Mureș and the surrounding region was deported to Auschwitz.
The remaining Jewish community in Târgu Mureș was greatly reduced – in a 1977 census, only 646 Jewish citizens were counted in the entire Mureș County.
By the start of the XXIst century, the population was further reduced, and was no bigger than 200 in Târgu Mureș.
The grand synagogue in Târgu Mureș was built in 1899–1900 -during the austro-Hungarian period, in an eclectic architectural style, following plans provided by the vienese architect Jakob Gartner, of moravian descent.
The synagogue was inaugurated in 1900 by rabbi Dr. Joachim Wilhelm, in the presence of leaders of the local Jewish community: Adalbert Burger (president for the community) and Mendel Farcas (vice-president).
In 1998, with funding provided by the Federation of the Jewish Communities in Romania and by various private donors, a renovation was started, reaching eventual completion in 2000.
Significant work was performed, including reinforcing the walls and foundations, interior and exterior restoration, closely matching and following the original architectural designs and paint.
Most of the efforts to raise funds, oversee and complete the restoration, and rehabilitate the synagogue, were performed by the president of the community, Bernath Sauber, and by his secretary, Alexandru Ausch.
Forty years of partnership FEDROM – JOINT) edited in 2008, by the Federation of the Jewish Communities in Romania, which contains a list of all of the synagogues in Romania, the synagogue Status Quo Ante from Târgu Mureș is marked as being in service.
The current synagogue sports 552 seats, 314 on the lower level and reserved for men, and 238 on the upper level, reserved for women.
The exterior contains typically roman architectural elements, mixed with some elements showing gothic inspiration – for example the rose windows – as well as some showing moorish inspiration, such as scalloped profiles or domes which borrow from Islamic architecture.
As part of the last restoration, the building was repainted in an apricot color, with all of its ornaments and window frames painted in white.
The synagogue is possessed of a large, octogonal, central tower, with small rose windows on each of its sides, and topped by a roof lantern, as well as two smaller, octogonal, towers, topped by onion domes at each of the two corners of the facade.
The doorways on the ground floor for the two towers open to stairs, allowing women exclusive access to the second floor's seats.
The architectural forms are brought into relief in the profile fo the various arches, the consoles, the various tracery and carved, coloured, elements.
The style shows inspiration from roman, gothic and baroque architectural styles and elements, and follows patterns found in Catholic churches built during the same period.
The rustic wooden benches for the faithful are located opposite the Torah ark in four rows, at the rear of the synagogue, one row on each side of the Bimah and in front of it.
Opposite the entrance is a square apse – the Torah Ark – where the precious Torah scrolls are enclosed, in a semi-circular region supported by two columns, and topped by a bulb dome.

He dealt with multi-variable geometric control theory, stochastic control and stochastic filters, and more recently the control of discrete event systems from the standpoint of mathematical logic and formal languages.
Wonham obtained his bachelor's degree in engineering physics from McGill University in 1956, and then a doctorate in stochastic control from the University of Cambridge in 1961.
In the 1960s, he worked at Purdue University's Control and Information Systems Laboratory, Martin Marietta's Research Institute for Advanced Studies (RIAS) in Baltimore, Brown University's Department of Applied Mathematics, and in the Office for Control Theory and Applications of NASA's Electronics for Research Center, where he developed a geometric theory of multivariable control with Steve Morse.
In 1968, Wonham proved a separation theorem for controls in a more general cost functional class with many technical assumptions and restrictions.
Wonham returned to Canada in 1970, after fifteen years away, and joined the University of Toronto as an associate professor in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering.
Being with the university's Control Theory Group as a full professor since 1972, he served as Dean of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Toronto between 1992 and 1996.
Wonham and his student Bruce Francis first articulated the internal model principle in 1976, which is a good regulator restricted to the ordinary differential equations subset of control theory.
As an explicit formulation of the Conant and Ashby good regulator theorem, it stands in contrast to classical control where the classical feedback loop fails to explicitly model the controlled system (although the classical controller may contain an implicit model).
In 1987, Wonham and Peter Ramadge introduced supervisory control theory as a method for automatically synthesizing supervisors that restrict the behavior of a plant such that as much as possible of the given specifications are fulfilled.
Wonham is the author and co-author of about seventy-five research papers, as well as the book Linear Multivariable Control: A Geometric Approach.
He is an Honorary Professor of the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and a Foreign Member of the (U.S.) National Academy of Engineering.
The 2020 season is the 6th season of competitive association football and will be the 5th season in the Liga 1 played by Bali United Football Club, a professional football club based in Gianyar, Bali, Indonesia.
But Emral Abus is serving as a head coach in the AFC Champions League because there is a slight problem with Stefano Cugurra's coaching license which makes it administratively unable to be registered as a head coach.
The 2019 season was Stefano Cugurra's first full season as head coach of Bali United, having taken charge in January 2019.
Bali United started their new season with preliminary round 1 of the AFC Champions League by playing away to Jalan Besar Stadium, Singapore to face 2019 Singapore Cup winners, Tampines Rovers.
Tampines Rovers evened the score in the 53rd minute and took the lead in the 68th minute by an own goal from their new signing, Muhammad Rahmat.
Stefano Lilipaly and the other new signing Sidik Saimima ensured a 5–3 win and Bali United through to preliminary round 2.
They once again failed to reach the group stage as they were destroyed by four-time A-League champions, Melbourne Victory five goals without reply at AAMI Park which resulted them to played in AFC Cup.

Henricus Sedulius (1547-1621) - the Latinized name of Henri de Vroom van Kleef - was a Flemish Franciscan scholar noted for his works on religious figures such as the lives of St. Elziarius and St. Francis of Assisi.
This is a defense of the Franciscan Order, drawing from Bartholomew Albizzi's commentary of the Scripture as well as citations from the Christian founders and ancient philosophers.
In an account, Sedulius said he relied on the former's collected works (constituting eight volumes) that were published by the Typographia Vaticana from 1588 to 1596.
There are texts, including versions by other authors, that contained an engraved portrait of the author or portraits engraved by owners who thought that Sedulius was the author.
In the first stanza, thanks are given for the creation of the world and for the time full of mercy which was promised from the beginning.
Gretzinger has been working on his map for over 60 years; it has grown to include over 3,000 unique panels, and is constantly evolving.
Jerry’s map has been shown at numerous international museums including the Palais de Tokyo, MASS MoCA, and the American Folk Art Museum.
During breaks in his work, Gretzinger began to sketch a map on a sheet of paper and when his drawing reached the edge of the page he continued onto the next sheet.
In 1980 he married Meg Staley and in 1983 they welcomed their first son together, Hank, and in 1986 their second son, Lucky.
Gretzinger left North Africa to move to New York City in 1971 where he set himself to start a new career.
Together with his second wife Meg Staley, Gretzinger launched Staley/Gretzinger which expanded his’s clothing line with Meg’s commercial and printmaking experience.
In the years following his move to New York, Gretzinger continued working on his map and it grew in size and complexity; as the business grew and his responsibilities increased, he put the map into retirement to devote himself to the business.
In 2003, Gretzinger’s son Hank discovered the map which had been archived in their Cold Spring attic and very soon Gretzinger began work on the map again in earnest.
In 2009, he had his first show of the map at the Garrison Art Center in Cold Spring with an accompanying video documentary produced by independent filmmaker Greg Whitmore.
The video was featured as an editor’s choice on Vimeo and shortly after, he was invited to exhibit the entirety of the map and a reproduction of his studio at MASS MoCA.
Looking towards the future of the map, he sees himself working on the map for as long as he can and is actively looking for museums and collectors to serve as permanent homes for the map.
For example, Kordich stated that he was influenced by the Gerson diet and was cured from cancer when he was 20 by consuming 13 glasses of apple and carrot juice each day.
These included his belief that uncooked foods flush the body of toxins (detoxification), and that juicing can treat many illnesses such as anemia, anxiety, arthritis, gallstones, impotence and heart disease.

Esther 1 is the first chapter of the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.
The author of the book is unknown and modern scholars have established that the final stage of the Hebrew text would have been formed by the second century BCE.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes Codex Leningradensis (1008).
Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; formula_1; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: formula_1; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; formula_1; 5th century).
The opening section describes the sumptuous 180-day banquet by the Persian king Ahasuerus for officials from all over the Persian Empire.
The immense size of the banquet, the number of its invited guests, and the length of its duration described here, was not without precedence as C. A. Moore documents a Persian banquet for 15,000 people and an Assyrian celebration with 69,574 guests in ancient times.
This section narrows the focus to the subsequent shorter but equally pretentious 7-day banquets, given separately by the king (for males) and the queen (for females) for the citizens of the Persian capital Susa.
This causes histrionic reactions from the king and his seven counselors which resulted in the issuance of punishment for Vashti and a decree involving the 'whole elaborate machinery of Persian law and administration' to spread it in all over Persian lands.
It is an irony, that the king who reigns over a vast empire cannot resolve his domestic problem about his own wife without the help of the sharpest minds of Persia.

The house was built in 1854 for Dr. William Burns, Polo's first medical doctor and one of its most prominent early citizens.
After working as a traveling doctor, Burns began practicing in nearby Buffalo Grove in 1848; like much of Buffalo Grove, he moved to Polo after an Illinois Central Railroad station opened there.
Burns' house, the first brick house in the city, had a vernacular gable front plan; such homes were popular at the time, especially in newly formed railroad towns.
Burns lived in the house until he moved to a larger one in 1868; he went on to serve as Polo's mayor, a town council and school board member, and a financial benefactor of the city.
The Ordnance Survey of Jerusalem of 1864–65 was the first scientific mapping of Jerusalem, and the first Ordnance Survey to take place outside the United Kingdom.
It was undertaken by Charles William Wilson, a 28-year-old officer in the Royal Engineers corps of the British Army, under the authority of Sir Henry James, as Superintendent of the Ordnance Survey, and with the sanction of George Robinson, 1st Marquess of Ripon as Secretary of State for War.
The first meeting of the Fund took place on 22 June 1865, less than a week after the completion of the Ordnance Survey, and Charles Wilson was appointed by the Fund as the Chief Director of their proposed exploration of the rest of Palestine.
The survey was catalyzed by an 1864 petition from Arthur Penrhyn Stanley (the Dean of Westminster), representing a committee which included the Bishop of London Archibald Campbell Tait) to George Robinson, 1st Marquess of Ripon (the Secretary of State for War).
Dean Stanley had accompanied the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) on his 1862 trip to Jerusalem; his request was for an improvement to the city's water supply.
The introduction to the survey stated that the ₤500 cost of the survey was funded by the wealthy Angela Burdett-Coutts, 1st Baroness Burdett-Coutts, whose primary motivation was to find better drinking water for those living in the city.
What is quite clear is that a major change in the character of the exploration of ancient Jerusalem occurred in the 19th century, with a fascination for the past of the city, fanciful or otherwise, being replaced by that of a scientific concern for the tangible antiquities of the city.
The ancient past of Jerusalem was no longer a matter for armchair scholarly discourse, turning upon the credibility and background of a given scholar, but had now become a matter for clear-cut scientific rigor, which could only be based on facts obtained in empirical fashion, whether through the taking of exact measurements, photography, or excavations in the ground.
The names of streets, buildings and points of interest were collected by Carl Sandreczki of the Church Mission Society and two assistants.

The Métabetchouane East river is a tributary of the northeast shore of the Métabetchouane River, flowing in the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve, in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province from Quebec, to Canada.
The surface of the Métabetchoune River (except the rapids zones) is usually frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March.
From the confluence of the Métabetchouane East river, the current descends the Métabetchouane river north on to the south shore of lac Saint-Jean; from there, the current crosses the latter on towards the northeast, then borrows the course of the Saguenay river via La Petite Landfill on until Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence estuary.

CUT&Tag-sequencing combines antibody-targeted controlled cleavage by a protein A-Tn5 fusion with massively parallel DNA sequencing to identify the binding sites of DNA-associated proteins.
Currently, ChIP-Seq is the most common technique utilized to study protein–DNA relations, however, it suffers from a number of practical and economical limitations that CUT&RUN and CUT&Tag sequencing do not.
CUT&Tag sequencing is an improvement over CUT&RUN because it does not require cells to be lysed or chromatin to be fractionated.. CUT&RUN is not suitable for single-cell platforms so CUT&Tag is advantageous for these .
ChIP-Seq suffers from limitations due to the cross linking step in ChIP-Seq protocols that can promote epitope masking and generate false-positive binding sites.
CUT&Run-sequencing and CUT&Tag have the advantage of being simpler techniques with lower costs due to the high signal-to-noise ratio, requiring less depth in sequencing.
Specific DNA sites in direct physical interaction with proteins such as transcription factors can be isolated by Protein-A (pA) conjugated Tn5 bound to a protein of interest.
Sequencing of prepared DNA libraries and comparison to whole-genome sequence databases allows researchers to analyze the interactions between target proteins and DNA, as well as differences in epigenetic chromatin modifications.
Therefore, the CUT&Tag method may be applied to proteins and modifications, including transcription factors, polymerases, structural proteins, protein modifications, and DNA modifications.
The data is then collected and analyzed using software that aligns sample sequences to a known genomic sequence to identify the CUT&Tag DNA fragments.
The primary limitation of CUT&Tag-seq is the likelihood of over-digestion of DNA due to inappropriate timing of the Magnesium-dependent Tn5 reaction.

ChIL-sequencing combines antibody-targeted controlled cleavage by Tn5 transposase with massively parallel DNA sequencing to identify the binding sites of DNA-associated proteins.
Currently, ChIP-Seq is the most common technique utilized to study protein–DNA relations, however, it suffers from a number of practical and economical limitations that ChIL-Sequencing does not.
ChIP-Seq suffers from limitations due to the cross linking step in ChIP-Seq protocols that can promote epitope masking and generate false-positive binding sites.
ChIL-sequencing has the advantage of being a simpler technique suitable for low sample input due to the high signal-to-noise ratio, requiring less depth in sequencing for higher sensitivity.
Specific DNA sites in direct physical interaction with proteins such as transcription factors can be isolated by Protein-A (pA) conjugated Tn5 bound to a protein of interest.
Sequencing of prepared DNA libraries and comparison to whole-genome sequence databases allows researchers to analyze the interactions between target proteins and DNA, as well as differences in epigenetic chromatin modifications.
Therefore, the ChIL-Se method may be applied to proteins and modifications, including transcription factors, polymerases, structural proteins, protein modifications, and DNA modifications.
The primary limitation of ChIL-seq is the likelihood of over-digestion of DNA due to inappropriate timing of the Magnesium-dependent Tn5 reaction.

She will be the seventh vessel of the class to be completed, and the second of two to be delivered to Fiji.
Australia provided 22 Pacific Forum patrol vessels to its smaller neighbours in the Pacific Forum after the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea provided maritime nations with exclusive economic zone.
Those vessels were delivered in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and were designed for a service life of approximately 30 years.
Like the Pacific Forum vessels the Guardian-class vessels are built using commercial off the shelf components, to make it easier for the vessels to be maintained in small, isolated shipyards.
KHBC-TV, virtual channel 2 (UHF digital channel 22), is a dual NBC/CBS-affiliated television station licensed to Hilo, Hawaii, United States and serving the Big Island of Hawaii.
It is a full-time satellite of Honolulu-licensed NBC affiliate KHNL (channel 13) and CBS affiliate KGMB (channel 5) which are owned by Gray Television.
On August 31, 1981, Oceanic Broadcasting Company applied for a construction permit to build a new TV station on channel 2 in Hilo.
However, the Henry family—including former Honolulu and longtime Los Angeles anchorman Chuck Henry and his brother Terry—did not get the station up and running for 18 months, and the Buck family of Los Angeles took a major ownership stake.
Within six months of signing on air, however, KOHA-TV had discarded its local news programming; the last edition aired on February 10, 1984.
The station cited financial difficulties for dropping the local newscast and cut back its total staff to three employees at the same time.
Chase and from the Kingdom Corporation of Hilo, which hoped to use the TV station as the cornerstone of a Christian planned community in Puna.
Upon acquiring KOHA-TV, Chupack announced his intention to change the call letters to KHBC-TV, which had previously been used on the first TV station in Hilo, which is now KGMD-TV.
After having revived channel 2, Chupack sold KHBC-TV in 1987 to Clio Enterprises, owners of KKON and KOAS radio as well as the Clio Awards.
In March 1988, workers at the station filed a petition to unionize under the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
On June 30, 1988, he announced that channel 2 would cease operations that day, stating that he was losing $57,000 a month running the business.
Evans agreed to a settlement with the NLRB in early August in order to prevent issues at his radio stations; IBEW supported the move, although the new owners were not expected to continue making programs.
KHBC-TV was sold to the King Broadcasting Company, owners of Honolulu's KHNL, which at the time did not have over-the-air coverage on the Big Island.
In 2009, upon Raycom Media entering into a shared services agreement that resulted in the original KGMB license becoming the new KFVE and its repeaters being assigned to that station, the new KGMB CBS feed migrated from KGMD-TV to a subchannel of KHBC.

The annexation of the Leeward Islands () or the Leewards War () was a series of diplomatic and armed conflicts between the French Third Republic and the native kingdoms of Raiatea-Tahaa, Huahine and Bora Bora, which resulted in the conquest of the Leeward Islands, in the South Pacific archipelago of the Society Islands in modern-day French Polynesia.
This conflict was the last phase of armed indigenous resistance against French rule in the Society Islands, which began in 1843 with the forcible imposition of a protectorate over the Kingdom of Tahiti in the Franco-Tahitian War.
The three Leeward Islands kingdoms were ensured independence by the Jarnac Convention, a joint agreement signed between France and Great Britain in 1847.
Continual instability in the native regimes and the growing threat of the nascent German colonial empire in the Pacific prompted France to declare the islands under a provisional protectorate in 1880, in violation of the 1847 Convention.
From 1888 to 1897, the Leeward Island natives resisted the French while civil wars also broke out between pro-French factions and the majority anti-French sectors of the population.
Armed conflict began in 1887 with the revolt of the chief Teraupo'o on Raiatea against the pro-French king and the shooting of a French officer and marines on Huahine.
The natives of Huahine set up a rival royal government under Queen Teuhe to resist the pro-French factions under her brother Prince Marama Teururai.
The resistance was strongest on Raiatea and Tahaa where the chief Teraupo'o and his followers entrenched themselves in the countryside and the mountains and sought British intervention in the war.
The Society Islands are subdivided into the Leeward Islands in the northwest and Windward Islands or Georgian Islands in the southeast.
Politically, the Kingdom of Tahiti comprised all the Windward Islands except Maiao and also held nominal sovereignty over the more distant Tuamotus archipelago and a few of the Austral Islands.
By the mid-19th century the Leeward Islands was made up of three kingdoms: the Kingdom of Huahine and its dependency of Maiao (geographically part of the Windward Islands); the Kingdom of Raiatea-Tahaa, and the Kingdom of Bora Bora with its dependencies of Maupiti, Tupai, Maupihaa, Motu One, and Manuae.
The Pōmare Dynasty, patrons of the British Protestant missionaries, established their rule over Tahiti and Moorea as part of the Kingdom of Tahiti.
Western concepts of kingdoms and nation states were foreign to the native Tahitians or Maohi, people who were divided into loosely defined tribal units and districts before European contact.
In the 1830s and 1840s, tensions between French naval interests, the British settlers and pro-British native chieftains on Tahiti led to the Franco-Tahitian War (1844–1847) and the voluntary exile of Queen Pōmare IV to Raiatea.
Attempts to forcefully incorporate the neighbouring kingdoms of the Leeward Islands (west of Mo'orea) ceased following increased diplomatic pressure from Great Britain, and after a French expeditionary force was defeated on Huahine by Queen Teriitaria II in 1846.
In February 1847, Queen Pōmare IV returned from her exile and acquiesced to rule under the protectorate government centered in Papeete.
Although victorious, the French were unable to annex the islands due to diplomatic pressure from Great Britain, so Tahiti and its dependency of Moorea continued to be ruled under the French protectorate.
The Jarnac Convention or the Anglo-French Convention of 1847 was also signed by the French and the British, in which both powers agreed to respect the independence of Huahine, Raiatea, and Bora Bora.
For the next four decades, the three northern kingdoms remained nominally independent from the French in Papeete and remained strongly pro-British because of the influence of the LMS missionaries who remained stationed on the islands.
In 1858, the American consul in Raiatea unsuccessfully attempted to declare a protectorate over or annex Raiatea and Tahaa to the United States.
In the late 1870s, there were worries that the German Empire would also incorporate the islands through annexation or a protectorate as part of its nascent colonial empire in the Pacific.
Internal warfare and introduced diseases, such as dysentery, scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough and typhoid, contributed to a general decline of native populations after European contact.
In 1897, a census of the Leeward Islands recorded: 1,237 people on Huahine, 2,138 people on Raiatea, 1,099 people on Tahaa, 1,264 people on Bora Bora, and 536 on Maupiti.
The 1897 the populations of Tahiti and Moorea were around 10,000 and 1,500 respectively and had decreased in the same period between the 1880s and 1890s.
Responding to the growing threat of Germany in the Pacific, the French took actions to abrogate the Convention of 1847 and bring the Leeward Islands into their sphere of influence.
In 1880 French Commissioner Isidore Chessé convinced the islanders of the growing German threat and urged them to request for French protection.
In Raiatea, King Tahitoe and his chiefs signed a request for French protection and hoisted the protectorate flag on 9 April 1880.
The imposition of the French protectorate on the Leeward Islands was initially disavowed by the minister of foreign affairs, Jules Barthélemy-Saint-Hilaire, and the French government.
Commercial groups in Hamburg and Berlin protested the actions of the French, but the British Foreign Office was less ambivalent, seeing a French takeover as a forgone conclusion, and was open to negotiations.
Speculations included the French concessions in the Pacific or West Africa or the cession of fishing rights in the French Shore off Newfoundland.
After the removal of this diplomatic obstacle, Governor Théodore Lacascade officially annexed all of the Leeward Islands on 16 March 1888 via proclamation.
Lacascade with other French officials and naval officers took possessions of the islands and raised the flag of France on Huahine (16 March), Raiatea (17 March) and Bora Bora (19 March).
In 1880, King Tahitoe accepted the provisional protectorate by Chessé and raised the protectorate flag of Raiatea with the French tricolour on its canton.
His daughter and successor, Queen Tehauroa, unsuccessfully attempted to enlist the protection of the British to preserve Raiatea's independence in accordance with the Jarnac Convention.
Teraupo'o, a lesser chief of Raiatea known for his fierce opposition to the French, refused to comply with the order of King Tamatoa VI to surrender to them and built up a resistance force.
In his place, Teraupo'o led the native resistance against the French and installed a resistance government under Tuarii (a younger daughter of Tahitoe) as queen at Avera.
The French also had the support of the chief Tavana, a former minister of Tamatoa who held the title of viceroy of Raiatea-Tahaa.
In 1895, Queen Tuarii traveled to the British protectorate Rarontonga to seek help from the British resident, Frederick Moss, who refused to meet with her.
Pastor Gaston Brunel, who took charge of the Protestant schools on the island in 1894 and was largely sympathetic to the natives, often visited the camp of the resistance leader and gained valuable insight into the rebellion.
French artist Paul Gauguin, who witnessed the final phase of the rebellion, noted that diplomacy failed to persuade the natives of Raiatea to surrender.
Teraupo'o and the rebels of Tahaa and the district of Tevaitoa refused the call, prompting the French to land and engage the remaining armed natives.
The captured resistance leaders, including Teraupo'o, his wife, his brother and lieutenant Hupe, the chiefess Mai of Tevaitoa and six other men, were deported to Nouméa, New Caledonia.
Their followers were exiled to the island of Ua Huka in the Marquesas Islands, while others were conscripted as forced laborers to improve the roads of Raiatea.
In retaliation, the natives killed the ship's ensign Louis Dénot, who was leading the detachment, and two marines and wounded five others.
However, the anti-French forces rallied around Queen Teuhe, Marama's sister and former wife of Pōmare V, and set up a parallel rebel government from 1888 to 1890.
As the last the LMS missionary, Cooper left Huahine and care of the Society Islands to the missionaries of the Paris Evangelical Missionary Society in 1890.
The royal government of Huahine persisted for five more years and Tehaapapa II was succeeded by her granddaughter Tehaapapa III in 1893.
The anti-French nationalist factions remained a threat, and the queen asked for military assistance from the French on 14 January 1895.
Bora Bora remained neutral during the conflicts of Raiatea which prevented the French from administering their new acquisition until September 1895.
Through the persuasion of her ex-husband Prince Hinoi, Queen Teriimaevarua III accepted French administration and formally abdicated on 21 September 1895.
Retaining her honor as queen, she was allowed to collect tributes from the outlying northern islands and was provided with a pension by the colonial government.
A French vice-resident and later a gendarme was placed in charge of the islands, but they retained native laws and government for a few more years.
In 1898 the former queen, Teriimaevarua III, attempted to incite a new resistance movement in the islands and was exiled to Tahaa by the order Governor Gallet on 27 October 1898.
By 1901, with the annexation of the last independent monarchies of Rimatara and Rurutu in the Austral Islands, the French Establishment of Oceania was formed.
The five archipelagoes of the Society Islands, the Tuamotus, Austral Islands, Gambier Islands and Marquesas Islands were incorporated into the territory of French Oceania, which are today part of the overseas collectivity of French Polynesia.
The French Protestant missionaries helped to preserve the indigenous language and culture of the islanders and the Maohi Protestant Church was later established to preserve the legacy of the indigenous and Protestant identity of the Society Islands.

Ernest Smith was born on 17 December 1919 in Winnipeg, and grew up in the neighbourhood of Wolseley, on Aubrey Street.
He won the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada Gold Medal, and a postgraduate fellowship to attend the MIT, where he earned a Master of Architecture degree.
Smith finished his thesis in September of 1947 and came home to honour a commitment he made with fellow alumni Dennis Carter (another RAIC Gold Medal winner) and Walter Katelnikoff that they three would start their own firm upon his return to Winnipeg.
Smith Carter Katelnikoff made their name locally with the 1948 renovation of their own offices on Portage Avenue East and, due to the demand created by Winnipeg's expanding population in the 1950s, several schools.
At the same time, the firm grew on the strength of commissions for large schools in rural Manitoba and Western Canada where modern centralized facilities were replacing one-room schools.
The company would go through a number of name and partner changes and eventually became known simply as Smith Carter Partners and later Smith Carter Architects and Engineers, Smith serving as the managing partner for thirty-eight years until his retirement in 1985.
One of Smith's personally significant projects from this period is Westworth United Church (1958-1959), consisting of two major additions to an education building (a gymnasium) designed by Green Blankstein Russell in 1950.
The sanctuary is defined by a soaring A-frame form, encased in a one-storey surround, and features exposed brick matching that on the building's exterior.
Instead of laminated beams as originally proposed steel beams were used, faced with hardwood, selected to minimize obstructions within the nave.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Smith served in a number of industry association senior positions, including president of the Manitoba Association of Architects (1956–1961) and chairman of the National Joint Committee on Construction Materials (1963–1965).
He was dean of the College of Fellows of the RAIC from 1972 to 1975, and chancellor of the RAIC itself in 1979.
Throughout the 1960s, the City of Winnipeg conducted transport studies which led to a rethinking of traffic flow through Portage Avenue and Main Street, the city's hub, and had Smith Carter conduct the transit forecast studies which concluded that mixing pedestrian and vehicular traffic would no longer be viable, ultimately leading to the construction of an underground concourse replacing the four sidewalks of the corner.
Significant or large scale works during this period include the Canadian Wheat Board and Grain Commission buildings (1962 and 1970, respectively), the Royal Bank of Canada and Bank of Canada buildings (1965 and 1971), the Pan Am Pool (1967), and the Manitoba Centennial Centre (1967–1972).
Such large scale projects, along with the Woodsworth Building on Broadway (1973), The Great-West Life Assurance Company (1983), and the Air Canada building (1985), changed the urban character of Winnipeg.
In this case, we worked out two separate modules for offices and lab space, [and] found we needed greater depth in the lab and rationalised the present form.
The overall aesthetic was designed in keeping with the neighbouring Depression-era Federal Building, located to the south across William Stephenson Way.
In January of 1975, five artists, Henry Saxe, Ulysse Comtois, John Nugent, Ricardo Gomez, and Hugh Leroy, were chosen by Smith (with Kenneth Lochhead's advice).
On the evening of 31 August 1978, the work was dismantled, cut into three pieces and moved off to storage at the federal Public Works yard in Lockport.
In Spring 1997, Nugent learned that it had once more been removed and disassembled and left in an open enclosure, complaining with the support of other artists and members of the public.
Later the same year, almost twenty years after it was removed, Nugent's sculpture was reinstalled in front of the Grain Commission building.
Smith was said to have been proudest of the firm's work shaping the Winnipeg skyline and of their work abroad, such the Kermanshah Technical Training Centre in Iran, the Canadian Embassy in Moscow and the Canadian Chancery in Warsaw (about 1965; all but foundations demolished in 2001).
Early examples included the St. Boniface Hospital Research Centre (1986–1987) and the John Buhler Research Centre at the Health Sciences Centre (about 1990).
Alongside Dennis Carter, his business partner of thirty-eight years, Ernest Smith was awarded an honourary life membership from the Manitoba Association of Architects in 2000.
A supporter of the arts, Smith was a member of the Winnipeg Art Gallery, the Council of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, co-chairman of the Fine Arts Committee for the Centennial Cultural Centre, and the board of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, of which he was President from 1969-1971.
By the time all three of his children were born (1959), Smith designed their family home in East Kildonan, off Kildonan Drive.
The Drive is elevated as a protective flood dike, the house itself was built on land behind the flood dike and therefore quite low, requiring that the living spaces be elevated to the height of the street.
Smith remained there after Marjorie died in 1993, moving back to Winnipeg in 1998, and finally to a personal care home in The Pas in 2001, where his son Chris lived.
Waheeda Rehman (born 3 February 1938) is an Indian actress and dancer who has appeared in mainly Hindi films, as well as Telugu, Tamil, Bengali and Malayalam films.
She is noted for her contributions to different genres of films and different roles from the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s.
Her accolades consist of a National Film Award, two Filmfare Awards out of eight nominations, the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award and the Centenary Award for Indian Film Personality.
She continued acting in the mid-1960s, starring in successful movies and establishing herself as one of the leading ladies in classic Indian cinema.
Smith Carter (originally Smith Carter Katelnikoff, later Smith Carter Katelnikoff Munn, Smith Carter Searle and Associates, Smith Carter and Parkin, Smith Carter Partners and finally Smith Carter Architects and Engineers) was a Canadian firm of architects founded in Winnipeg in 1947 by Ernest J. Smith, Dennis H. Carter and Walter L. Katelnikoff.
Together with Katelnikoff, they made a pact that they three would start their own firm upon Smith's return from a postgraduate fellowship at MIT.
Katelnikoff and Carter graduated in 1944 and 1945 respectively, each working for two years and one year respectively, with Moody and Moore Architects.
The company went through a number of third- or fourth-partner changes (among them James E. Searle and John B. Parkin), and therefore name changes, finally dropping these altogether under the name Smith Carter Partners and later Smith Carter Architects and Engineers, Smith always serving as the managing partner until his retirement in 1985.
The three young men made their name locally with the 1948 renovation of their own offices on Portage Avenue East and, due to the demand created by Winnipeg's expanding population in the 1950s, several schools.
At the same time, the firm grew on the strength of commissions for large schools in rural Manitoba and Western Canada where modern centralized facilities were replacing one-room schools.
In 1955, the firm designed the City Park zoo's bear pits, breaking away from the traditional cage, the animals separated from the public by a moat.
Rectangular in form, the building contains an interior courtyard and entrances approached north and south by raised bridges, while the curtain wall construction alternates clear and opaque glass with spandrels and columns set off by aluminum mullion (vertical bar between window panes) fins.
The structure itself is composed of a central four-storey section largely ensconced in masonry atop an open, glazed ground level, all surmounted by another open, glazed top floor.
Conscious of the clients' interest in corporate image, bleachers were constructed to allow spectators to watch comfortably the progress of construction and a sectional mockup of the façade was installed for testing and for public viewing.
By 2011, as the exterior envelope and cladding system were failing, Smith Carter, in collaboration with 1 X 1 Architecture Inc., were commissioned to restore the building such that the new envelope detailing was consistent with the original design.
Unlike many retrofitted buildings of this period, the existing granite stone cladding was used for the restoration, a choice made by the Workers Compensation Board: many granite stone panels were carefully removed, repaired and replaced in their original positions.
New glazing was also installed, including a stainless steel pressure plate cap to match the original design, and new coping stones, supplied by the same granite quarry as fifty years earlier, were installed at the roof, again to maintain the original detailing at the façade.
In 1963, Carter was made a Fellow of the RAIC, and served as president of the Manitoba Association of Architects in 1966 and 1967.
During this period, the firm designed the Centennial Fountain (1970), which marked both the provincial centenary and the 50th anniversary of the first water supplied to Winnipeg from the Shoal Lake aqueduct.
Throughout the 1960s the City of Winnipeg conducted transport studies which led to a rethinking of traffic flow through Portage Avenue and Main Street, the city's hub.
The City had Smith Carter conduct the transit forecast studies and concluded that mixing pedestrian and vehicular traffic would no longer be viable, ultimately leading to the construction of an underground concourse replacing the four sidewalks of the corner.
Significant or large scale works during this period include the Canadian Wheat Board addition and Grain Commission (1962-1963 and 1970, respectively), the Royal Bank of Canada and Bank of Canada buildings (1965 and 1971), and the Manitoba Centennial Centre (1967–1972).
Such large scale projects, along with the Pan Am Pool (1967), the Woodsworth Building on Broadway (1973), The Great-West Life Assurance Company (1983), and the Air Canada building (1985), changed the urban character of Winnipeg.
This three-pool indoor recreation centre located in southwest Winnipeg was built for and named after the 1967 Pan American Games, but its commissioners were motivated by an ambitious social policy of providing recreational opportunities to a wide population.
The city's original pitch estimated the net cost of the games at $1.3 million, but by fall 1965 this had risen to over $3 million.
Among the additional costs was about $250,000 to put a roof on the pool, which was not required for the games but was desired for year-round use.
After cost estimates were made public, the Pan Am Games (1967) Society asked Ottawa for an additional $1.5 million in funding.
At the time of its completion, the pool facility placed among the top five in the world and featured the only diving tower in Canada.
Beyond Western Canada, the firm's projects included the entrance to Expo 67, Place d'Accueil, in Montreal, and abroad, the Canadian Embassy in Moscow and the Canadian Chancery in Warsaw (about 1965; all but foundations demolished in 2001).

Early examples included the St. Boniface Hospital Research Centre (1986–1987) and the John Buhler Research Centre at the Health Sciences Centre (about 1990).
When Orzechowski died in 2003, he was succeeded by his protégé Scott Stirton, who joined the firm in 1986, and was one of three Smith Carter principals at the firm's satellite office in Atlanta on 9/11, and saw first-hand the speed with which U.S. government officials responded to a terrorist threat, and how fast biodefence funds and security initiatives followed.
In April 2006, the firm's U.S. office signed a US$480-million contract — Smith Carter's largest as of that year — to design a medical research lab and vivarium (animal facility), for the U.S. Army's Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases.
Among the firm's last great projects were the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (2009–2013) and the Women's Hospital at the Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre in 2010.
In 2012, the year of Carter's death, Smith Carter Architects and Engineers was acquired by Montreal-based engineering and professional consulting firm Genivar Inc. At the time of the company's acquisition, the firm had between 190 and 200 employees, with locations in Calgary, Ottawa, Atlanta and Washington, D.C..
The Rustenburg Reformed Church is the oldest congregation of the Reformed Churches in South Africa (GKSA), founded in February 1859 by the denomination’s pioneer, Rev.
The congregation was founded in a climate of grave dissatisfaction by Rustenburg Voortrekkers with the state of the church in the South African Republic (ZAR).
The schismatics had tried several times to find a suitable preacher from the ranks of the Christian Reformed Churches in the Netherlands, ultimately succeeded with Rev.
Arriving on July 9, 1858, in Simon’s Town and staying in Cape Town for a while, he arrived in Rustenburg at the end of the year.
Van der Hoff began refusing use of the Rustenburg NHK church, they had no place of worship and had to gather under a large chinaberry tree cut down in around 1970 after storm damage.
His visits in return helped spur the foundations of the Reddersburg Reformed Church (GKSA), the Burgersdorp Reformed Church (GKSA), the Colesberg Reformed Church (GKSA), and the Middelburg Reformed Church (Cape, GKSA), among others.
Postma served the congregation until 1866, though he served as spiritual leader of the entire denomination throughout Transvaal, the Orange Free State, and Cape Colony.
He founded that congregation on January 21, 1860, in a store’s warehouse, given the lack of suitable meeting halls in a community hostile to Doppers (GKSA members); another source holds that it was founded on Roosterkoek farm near Albert, the nucleus of today’s town of Burgersdorp.
Cachet was hired as catechism teacher in Ladysmith in Natal Colony on October 3, 1863 for £25 a year and was considering a missionary career.
This was against the backdrop of his 1862-1863 power struggle at the Cape Synods against liberal pastors J.J. Kotzé and Thomas François Burgers, and his Transvaal-based brother’s conflict with Rev.
On May 13, 1868, one and a half years before the founding of the Theological School there, he wrote the proponent exam.
He became acting Professor of Theology at the school in 1892 and official Professor as of the 1894 Synod, overseeing pastor training and serving as preparatory school rector.
The congregation lost population on April 15, 1875, when a large group of Doppers left for Portuguese Angola across the Kalahari Desert in what was known as the Dorsland Trek.
In 1880, he left to serve the Colesberg congregation, founded by his father Izak David du Plessis and his mother Hester Venter on their Hamelfontein farm on December 8, 1860.
Johannes de Ridder (1833-1896), who served as Rustenburg’s fourth pastor from 1880 to 1896, had arrived from the Netherlands in 1857-1858 as a young teacher.
After serving since 1884 as pastor of the Fauresmith Reformed Church (GKSA), he was called as the first pastor of the Dorsland Trekkers, mostly Doppers, upon their arrival at Sâo Januário, Humpata, Angola.
Trying in vain to win back the frock, he made a living as a traveling peddler of books and other goods in the local countryside.

Anna Cartan (15 May 1878 – 1923) was a French mathematician, teacher and textbook author who was a student of Marie Curie and Jules Tannery.
Cartan was the youngest child born to Anne Florentine Cottaz (1841–1927) and Joseph Antoine Cartan (1837–1917), who was the village blacksmith.
Anna had an elder sister Jeanne-Marie (1867–1931) who became a dressmaker, a brother Léon (1872–1956) who became a blacksmith working in his father's smithy, and a middle brother Élie Cartan (1869–1951) who became an acclaimed mathematician and sire of a family of mathematicians, notably his first son, Henri Cartan, who later became influential in the field.
Among the courses she attended were those led by Marie Curie (who taught physics there from 1900 to 1906) and mathematician Jules Tannery (1848–1910).
One of her friends was the scientist and women's rights activist Eugénie (Feytis) Cotton who would become director of the school in 1936.
Anna completed her studies in mathematics in 1904 and taught the subject at the high school in Poitiers, France from 1904 to 1906, and then she taught in Dijon from 1906 to 1908.
Among the places she visited were the United States (New York, St. Louis, Chicago, Boston and Niagara Falls), Quebec, Mexico and Cuba.
Then she taught at the Jules Ferry high school in Paris and, until 1920, at the Sèvres application school, annexed to the normal school.
In 1912 and 1913, Cartan wrote two books on arithmetic and geometry for girls, and later she co-authored with her brother Élie two more textbooks for both boys and girls.

In discrete geometry and computational geometry, the convex hull of a simple polygon is the polygon of minimum perimeter that contains a given simple polygon.
Repeatedly reflecting an arbitrarily chosen pocket across this convex hull edge produces a sequence of larger simple polygons; according to the Erdős–Nagy theorem, this process eventually terminates with a convex polygon.
Overlaying the original simple polygon onto its convex hull partitions this convex polygon into regions, one of which is the original polygon.
Each pocket is itself a simple polygon, bounded by a polygonal chain on the boundary of the given simple polygon and by a single edge of the convex hull.
One can form a hierarchical description of any given polygon by constructing its hull and its pockets in this way and then recursively forming a hierarchy of the same type for each pocket.
Several early publications on this problem were discovered to be incorrect, often because they led to intermediate states with crossings that caused them to break.
write that a majority of the published algorithms for the problem are incorrect, although a later history collected by Greg Aloupis lists only seven out of fifteen algorithms as being incorrect.
The algorithm traverses the polygon in clockwise order, starting from a vertex known to be on the convex hull (for instance, its leftmost point).
As it does, it stores a convex sequence of vertices on the stack, the ones that have not yet been identified as being within pockets.
The points in this sequence are the vertices of a convex polygon (not necessarily the hull of all vertices seen so far) that may have pockets attached to some of its edges.
At each step, the algorithm follows a path along the polygon from the stack top to the next vertex that is not in one of the two pockets adjacent to the stack top.
Then, while the top two vertices on the stack together with this new vertex are not in convex position, it pops the stack, before finally pushing the new vertex onto the stack.
When the clockwise traversal reaches the starting point, the algorithm is completed and the stack contains the convex hull vertices in clockwise order.
Each step of the algorithm either pushes a vertex onto the stack or pops it from the stack, and each vertex is pushed and popped at most once, so the total time for the algorithm is linear.
If the input vertices are given in clockwise order in an array, then the output can be returned in the same array, using only a constant number of additional variables as intermediate storage.
By using a deque in place of a stack, a similar algorithm can be generalized to the convex hull of any polygonal chain, and the algorithm for simple polygons can be started at any vertex of the polygon rather than requiring an extreme vertex as the starting vertex.
Flipping an arbitrarily chosen pocket, and then repeating this process with the pockets of each successively formed polygon, produces a sequence of simple polygons.

Naval Academy is a 1941 American action film directed by Erle C. Kenton and written by David Silverstein and Gordon Rigby.
Largely derived from a synthesis of Proto-Indo-European and indigenous Northern European elements, the Germanic culture developed out of the Nordic Bronze Age.
The Germanic peoples eventually overwhelmed the Western Roman Empire, which by the Middle Ages facilitated their conversion from paganism to Christianity and the abandonment of their tribal way of life.
Linguists postulate that an early Proto-Germanic language existed and was distinguishable from the other Indo-European languages as far back as 500 BCE.
From what is known, the early Germanic tribes may have spoken mutually intelligible dialects derived from a common parent language but there are no written records to verify this fact.
The Germanic tribes moved and interacted over the next centuries, and separate dialects among Germanic languages developed down to the present day.
Some groups, such as the Suebi, have a continuous recorded existence, and so there is a reasonable confidence that their modern dialects can be traced back to those in classical times.
By extension, but sometimes controversially, the names of the sons of Mannus, Istvaeones, Irminones, and Ingvaeones, are sometimes used to divide up the medieval and modern West Germanic languages.
The more easterly groups such as the Vandals are thought to have been united in the use of East Germanic languages, the most famous of which is Gothic.
The dialect of the Germanic people who remained in Scandinavia is not generally called Ingvaeonic, but is classified as North Germanic, which developed into Old Norse.
All these dialects or languages appear to have formed by the mixing of migrating peoples after the time of Julius Caesar.
Despite their common linguistic framework, by the 5th century CE, the Germanic peoples were linguistically differentiated and could no longer easily comprehend one another.
Nonetheless, the line between Germanic and Romance peoples in central Europe remained at the western mouth of the Rhine river and while Gaul fell under Germanic domination and was firmly settled by the Franks, the linguistic patterns did not move much.
Despite the fact that the Visigoths ruled a kingdom in what is now Spain and Portugal for upwards of 250 years, there are almost no recognizable Gothic words borrowed into Spanish or Portuguese.
By 500 CE, the West Germanic speakers had apparently developed a distinct language continuum with extensive loaning from Latin (due to their ongoing contact with the Romans), whereas the East Germanic languages were dying out.
Germanic literature includes all the oral and written literature which was common to the early Germanic peoples, in respect to form and nature of content.
Much of what is known about Germanic literature was passed down by skalds and scops, who were poets emloyed by a chieftain to memorize his deeds and those of his ancestors.
Accounts of the history of the Goths play and important role in Germanic literature, and although the Goths themselves disappeared, their deeds were remembered for centuries afterwards among Germanic peoples living as far as Iceland.
The works of Jordanes, Gregory of Tours, Paul the Deacon, Priscus and Saxo Grammaticus were written in Latin and Greek, but since their authors were of Germanic origin and because their works show traces of Germanic heritage, philologist Francis Owen considers these works part of Germanic literature as well.
A large amount of Germanic epic literature must have been produced during the violent years of the Migration Period, but few of these accounts appear to have been preserved.
During his reign, Charlemagne ordered a collection of the old heroic songs to be made, but this collection was later destroyed by order of Louis the Pious.
A common theme in Germanic literature as the consequences of failing to live up to ones moral principles, and the moral dilemma faced by an individual struggling to maintain his loyalty under difficult conditions.
The earliest known Germanic inscription was found at Negau (in what is now southern Austria) on a bronze helmet dating back to the first century BCE.
Some of the other earliest known physical records of the Germanic language appear on stone and wood carvings in Runic script from around 200 CE.
Runes had a special significance in early Germanic culture, and each runic letter had a distinct name associated with a particular subject.
Runic writing likely disappeared due to the concerted opposition of the Christian Church, which regarded runic text as heathen symbols which supposedly contained inherent magical properties that they associated with the Germanic peoples' pagan past.
An important linguistic step was made by the Christian convert Ulfilas, who became a bishop to the Thervingi Goths in CE 341; he subsequently invented a Gothic alphabet and translated the scriptures from Greek into Gothic, creating a Gothic Bible, which is the earliest known translation of the Bible into a Germanic language.
From its earliest descriptions by Roman authors in antiquity to the Icelandic accounts written in the Middle Ages, Germanic religion appears to have changed considerably.
Germanic religion appears to have emerged as a synthesis of the religion of the Indo-Europeans who arrived with the Corded Ware culture and the indigenous populations among whom they settled.
It is often suggested that the conflict between the Æsir and Vanir, the two groups in the Norse branch of the Germanic pantheon, represents a remembrance of this synthesis.
Many of the deities found in Germanic paganism appeared under similar names across the Germanic peoples, most notably the god known to the Germans as Wodan or Wōden, to the Anglo-Saxons as Woden, and to the Norse as Óðinn, as well as the god Thor – known to the Germans as Donar, to the Anglo-Saxons as Þunor and to the Norse as Þórr.
Týr appears to at one point have been the chief deity in the Germanic pantheon, but he was eventually displaced by Odin.
Archaeological findings suggest that the early Germanic peoples practiced some of the same 'spiritual' rituals as the Celts, including human sacrifice, divination, and the belief in spiritual connection with the natural environment around them.
Unlike the Celts, who had their druids, there does not appear to have been a priestly caste among the Germanic peoples.
Germanic priestesses were feared by the Romans, as these tall women with glaring eyes, wearing flowing white gowns often wielded a knife for sacrificial offerings.
Captives might have their throats cut and be bled into giant cauldrons or have their intestines opened up and the entrails thrown to the ground for prophetic readings.
The Ostrogoths, Visigoths, and Vandals were Christianized while they were still outside the bounds of the Empire; however, they converted to Arianism rather than Roman Catholicism, and were soon regarded as heretics by Catholics.
The one great written remnant of the Gothic language is the Gothic Bible made by Wulfila, the Arian missionary who converted them.
The Lombards were not converted until after their entrance into the Empire, but received Christianity from Arian Germanic tribes sometime during the 5th century.
The Franks were converted directly from paganism to Catholicism under the leadership of Clovis I in about CE 496 without an intervening time as Arians.
When Thor failed to strike Boniface dead after the oak hit the ground, the Franks were amazed and began their conversion to the Christian faith.
Eventually for many Germanic tribes, the conversion to Christianity was achieved by armed force, successfully completed by Charlemagne, in a series of campaigns (the Saxon Wars), that also brought Saxon lands into the Frankish empire.
Massacres, such as the Bloody Verdict of Verden, where as many as 4,500 people were beheaded according to one of Charlemagne's chroniclers, were a direct result of this policy.
In Scandinavia, Germanic paganism continued to dominate until the 11th century in the form of Old Norse religion, when it was gradually replaced by Christianity.
While the Germanic peoples were slowly converted to Christianity by varying means, many elements of the pre-Christian culture and indigenous beliefs remained firmly in place after the conversion process, particularly in the more rural and distant regions.
Of particular note is the survival of the pagan fascination with the forest in the retention of Christmas tree even today.
Conversion to Christianity broke this pagan obsession with protecting the forest in some locations and allowed once migrant tribes to settle in places where they previously refused to cultivate the soil or chop down trees based on religious belief.
Elements of Germanic paganism survived into post-Christianization folklore, and today new religious movements exist which see themselves as modern revivals of Germanic Heathenry.
Legendary creatures of Germanic folklore include, elves, who inhabited the woods, foundations and streams; dwarves, who inhabited the caves of the earth; serpents, who inhabited the sea; and the neck, who inhabited the marshes.
Festivals in early Germanic culture included the autumn festival (Winter Nights), the New Year festival (Yule), the spring festival (Easter), and Midsummer's Day.
The Midsummer's Day was the greatest festival of all, in which it was celebrated that the sun had regained its full power.
The deceased was generally burnt at a funeral pyre, while his weapons and other possessions were placed in an urn for burial.
In certain rare cases the deceased was even buried along with several of his servants, who would be slain for the purpose.
Among the coastal and island peoples of the north, the deceased was often placed with all his possessions in his boat, and then set on fire.
The environment in which the Germanic peoples emerged, notably their attachment to the forest and the sea, played a major role in shaping such values.
A main element uniting Germanic societies was kingship, in origin a sacral institution combining the functions of military leader, high priest, lawmaker and judge.
Under the influence of the Roman Empire, ther power of Germanic kings over their own people increased throughout the centuries, partially because mass-migrations of the time required more stern leadership.
When a nation either defends itself in war or wages it, magistrates are selected to be in charge of the war with power of life and death... Those unwilling to follow are thought as deserters and traitors and are no longer trusted in anything.
The king was bound to uphold ancestral law, but was at the same time the source for new laws for cases not addressed in previous tradition.
Generally speaking, Roman legal codes eventually provided the model for many Germanic laws and they were fixed in writing along with Germanic legal customs.
Traditional Germanic society was gradually replaced by the system of estates and feudalism characteristic of the High Middle Ages in both the Holy Roman Empire and Anglo-Norman England in the 11th to 12th centuries, to some extent under the influence of Roman law as an indirect result of Christianisation, but also because political structures had grown too large for the flat hierarchy of a tribal society.
The same effect of political centralization took hold in Scandinavia slightly later, in the 12th to 13th century (Age of the Sturlungs, Consolidation of Sweden, Civil war era in Norway), by the end of the 14th century culminating in the giant Kalmar Union.
Elements of tribal law, notably the wager of battle, remained in effect throughout the Middle Ages, in the case of the Holy Roman Empire until the establishment of the Imperial Chamber Court in the early German Renaissance.
In the case of a suspected crime, the accused could avoid punishment by presenting a fixed number of free men (their number depending on the severity of the crime) prepared to swear an oath on his innocence.
If someone was accused of crimes against the community ifself, the determining of guilt or innocence was generally left to the priests.
Hanging was considered an offering to the gods, while the drowning in swamps was more of a symbolic act, intended to completely remove the criminal from contact with the living.
Corporal or capital punishment for free men does not figure prominently in the Germanic law codes, and banishment appears generally to be the most severe penalty issued officially.
This reflects that Germanic tribal law did not have the scope of exacting revenge, which was left to the judgement of the family of the victim, but to settle damages as fairly as possible once an involved party decided to bring a dispute before the assembly.
It was a sum of money which was to be paid to the injured party as compensation for damage to person or prperty.
A fascinating component of early Germanic laws were the varying distinctions concerning the physical body, as each body part had a personal injury value and corresponding legal claims for personal injury viewed matters like gender, rank and status as a secondary interest when deliberating cases.
Among the Alemanni the basic weregild for a free man was 200 shillings, and the amount could be doubled or tripled according to the man's rank.
Unfree serfs did not command a weregild, and the recompense paid in the event of their death was merely for material damage, 15 shillings in the case of the Alamanni, increased to 40 or 50 if the victim had been a skilled artisan.
The social hierarchy is not only reflected in the weregild due in the case of the violent or accidental death of a man, but also in differences in fines for lesser crimes.
They do not usually depend on the rank of the guilty party, although there are some exceptions associated with royal privilege.
Free women did not have a political station of their own but inherited the rank of their father if unmarried, or their husband if married.
The weregild or recompense due for the killing or injuring of a woman is notably set at twice that of a man of the same rank in Alemannic law.
Caesar writes that Germanic peoples did not own private property, but that land was the property of the entire tribe, and was distributed by the tribal leaders to occupied for a specified amount of time.
Such measures were intended to prevent members of the tribe from becoming settled agriculturalists, and to prevent wealth concentration, which could become a source of instability.
In early Germanic society, the free men of property each ruled their own estate and were subject to the king directly, without any intermediate hierarchy as in later feudalism.
Free men without landed property could swear fealty to a man of property who as their lord would then be responsible for their upkeep, including generous feasts and gifts.
This system of sworn retainers was central to early Germanic society, and the loyalty of the retainer to his lord generally replaced his family ties.
Although the arrival of the Corded Ware culture in Northern Europe in the 3rd millennium BC must have been accompanied by widespread conflict, Germanic society during the Nordic Bronze Age of the 2nd millennium BC appears to have been largely peaceful.
Armies would typically attack in a wedge formation, with chieftains leading from the front fighting side by side with their immediate family members.
During the time of the Roman Empire, large number of Germanic mercenaries served in the Roman army, some even gaining prominent positions.
Early Germanic peoples believed that heroic death in battle would enable a warrior admittance to Valhalla, a majestic hall presided over by Odin, chief of the Germanic pantheon.
In times of distress, a Germanic tribe would on occasion embark on a wholesale mass-migration, in which the entire able-bodied population became engaged in war.
In a series of Germanic Wars, invading Germanic peoples overwhelmed the Western Roman Empire and established themselves as the foremost military powers of Western Europe in its place.
Traces of the earliest pastoralism of the Germanic peoples appear in central Europe in the form of elaborate cattle burials along the Elbe and Vistula Rivers from around 4000–3000 BCE.
These archaeological remnants were left by the Globular Amphora culture who cleared forests for herding cattle and sometime after 3000 BCE began using wheeled carts and plows to cultivate their lands.
Central to survival for their assistance in tilling the soil and supplying food, cattle became an economic resource to these early people.
Caesar writes that the Germanic tribes were not agricultural people, and that tribal leaders instituted active measures to prevent members of the tribe from becoming settled agriculturalists.
Caesar's observations were made from warlike tribes on the move near the Roman borders, and are thus not representative of all the Germanic peoples.
That agriculture was an important part of Germanic life is attested by Caesar, when he writes that the Usipetes and Tencteri had been forced to migrate from their lands after the Suebi had sabotaged their crops.
Evidence from a Saxon village known as Feddersen Wierde near Cuxhaven, Germany (which existed between BCE 50 to CE 450) shows that the Germanic peoples cultivated oats and rye, used manure as fertilizer, and that they practiced crop rotation.
In the Icelandic sagas only individual farms are mentioned, and this also appears to have been the case in Norway, from where most of the Icelanders came.
The plough was the most important form of agricultural equipment for the early Germanic peoples, who had abandoned the hoe in Neolithic times.
The Germanic tribes appear to have been the first peoples to use the heavy plough, which enabled them to farm the rough forested lowlands of Northern Europe.
The sickle was used for the reaping of grain, while the ancient practice of beating out grain with sticks or tramping it out remained prevalent for a long time.
The presence of amber in Mycenaean graves, and the presence of Italian bronze daggers in Northern European graves, attest to trade relations between early Bronze Age Germanic peoples and the Mediterranean Sea.
Large amounts of amber has been discovered at sites of the Hallstatt culture, testifying to a massive export of this commodity by the Germanic peoples to their Celtic southern neighbors.
The two most important trade routes between Rome and the Germanic world went either along the North Sea coast or along the Vistula towards the Adriatic.
One of the reasons the Romans may have drawn borders along the Rhine, besides the sizable population of Germanic warriors on one side of it, was that the Germanic economy was not robust enough for them to extract much booty nor were they convinced they could acquire sufficient tax revenue from any additional efforts of conquest.
Drawing a distinctive line between themselves and Germanic people also incentivized alliances and trade as the Germanic people sought a share of the imperial wealth.
Hence all the Romans in that region have but one desire, that they may never have to return to the Roman jurisdiction.
Roman coinage was coveted by the Germanic people who preferred silver to gold coins, mostly likely indications that a market economy was developing.
Such observations from Tacitus aside, fine metalwork, iron and glassware was soon being traded by the Germanic peoples along the coast of the North Sea of Denmark and the Netherlands.
As the Germanic peoples were frequently engaged in war, there was a constant supply of cheap slaves, although slavery was never as an important institution as it became in ancient Rome.
Gladiator games between slaves, such as those carried out in ancient Rome, is not mentioned as having been common among Germanic peoples, although it is possible that such games were arranged among the Germanic peoples living on the Roman border.
Although the master had complete power of life and death over his slave, mistreatment of slaves is not recorded in early Germanic literature.
After 1300 BCE the societies of Jutland and Northern Germany along with the Celtic people experienced a major revolution in technology during the Late Bronze Age, shaping tools, containers and weapons through the improved techniques of working bronze.
Both the sword and the bow and arrow as well as other weaponry proliferate and an arms race of sorts between the tribes ensued as they tried to outpace one another.
Trade was taking place to a greater degree and simple gems and amber from the Mediterranean indicate that long-distance exchange of goods was occurring.
Important small-scale industries in Germanic society were weaving, the manual production of basic pottery and, more rarely, the fabrication of iron tools, especially weapons.
When the Iron Age arrived, the Germanic people showed greater mastery of ironworks than their Celtic contemporaries but they did not have the extensive trade networks during this period that their southern neighbors enjoyed with the Greco-Roman world.
In Beowulf, which takes place in 6th century Scandinavia, the mead hall is described as a quadrilateral structure of wood with a raised platform on either side within.
In the centre on one side of the mead-hall, there was a high-seat and a secondary high-seat, which were reserved for the chieftain and his guest of honor respectively.
The chief's followers would sleep in the hall at raised platforms during the night, with their equipment hanging above on the wall ready for use.
Buildings often had upright logs or posts as walls, long crossed rafters ad the top and thatched saddle roofs, with the interior of the house being divided into three parts by two rows of posts.
The entrance was typically on the side and there was an exit in the roof for the smoke from the hearth.
The living quarters were generally in one part of the building, while the stalls for cattle were in the side areas.
Such structures are described by Strabo and Pliny, who claim that those could be loaded on wagons and established at a new place.
Germanic settlements were typically small, rarely containing much more than ten households, often less, and were usually located by clearings in the woods.
Although the Germanic tribes practiced both agriculture and husbandry, the latter was extremely important both as a source of dairy products and as a basis for wealth and social status, which was measured by the size of an individual's herd.
The diet consisted mainly of the products of farming and husbandry and was supplied by hunting to a very modest extent.
Barley and wheat were the most common agricultural products and were used for baking a certain flat type of bread as well as brewing beer.
The importance of drinking at social functions is vividly described in pieces of Germanic literature such as Beowulf, the Nibelungenlied and the Poetic Edda.
Since the honey had to be imported from the south, it is probable that ale was being drunk among the Germanic tribes earlier than beer.
The oldest mentioning of mead being drunk by the Germanic tribes is from the 5th century writer Priscus, who writes that mead was being consumed at the court of Attila.
Wine seems to have been introduced to the Germanic tribes at a late date, as this drink could not be produced in Northern Europe, and had to be imported.
Tacitus adds in this connection that the Germanic peoples were more easily defeated through exploiting their vices than by attacking them militarily.
Caesar notes that certain warlike and powerful Germanic tribes, such as the Nervii and Suebi, practiced teetotalism, banning the import of alcoholic beverages to their territories in order to combat degeneracy.
The most important family relationships among the early Germanic peoples were within the individual household, a fact based on the archaeological evidence from their settlements where the long-houses appeared to be central in their existence.
Besides parents and children, a household might include slaves, but slavery was uncommon, and according to Tacitus, slaves normally had households of their own.
A Germanic family was part of an extended family known as the sippe, which was the basis for the organization of Germanic society.
The writings of Tacitus allude to the Germanic peoples being aware of a shared ethnicity, in that, they either knew or believed that they shared a common biological ancestor with one another.
Just how pervasive this awareness may have been is certainly debatable, but other factors like language, clothing, ornamentation, hair styles, weapon types, religious practices and shared oral history were likely just as significant in tribal identity for the Germanic peoples.
Status among the early Germanic tribes was often gauged by the size of a man's cattle herd or by one's martial prowess.
Before their conversion to Christianity, the Germanic peoples of Europe were made up of several tribes, each functioning as an economic and military unit and sometimes united by a common religious cult.
Kinship, especially close kinship, was very important to life within a tribe but generally was not the source of a tribe's identity.
In fact, several elements of ancient Germanic life tended to weaken the role of kinship: the importance of the retinues surrounding military chieftains, the ability of strong leaders to unite people who were not closely related, and feuds and other conflicts within a tribe that might lead to permanent divisions.
According to Tacitus, the greatest disgrace that can befall a warrior of a clan among the Germanic tribes was the abandonment of their shield during combat, as this almost certainly resulted in social isolation.
Within tribal Germanic society, their social hierarchy was linked intrinsically to war and this warrior code maintained the fidelity between chiefs and their young warriors.
Peace within the tribe was about controlling violence with codes identifying exactly how certain types of feuds were to be settled.
Those closely related to a person who had been injured or killed were supposed to exact revenge on or monetary payment from the offender.
Yet such feuds weakened the tribe as a whole, sometimes leading to the creation of a new tribe as one group separated from the rest.
Recent scholarship suggests that, despite the obligation to take part in feuds and other customs involving kinship ties, extended families did not form independent units among the early Germanic peoples.
Though most members of a tribe would have been more or less distantly related, common descent was not the main source of a tribe's identity, and extended families were not the main social units within a tribe.
Internal competition within the factions of a tribe occasionally resulted in internecine warfare which weakened and sometime destroyed a group, as appears to have been the case for the Cherusci tribe during Rome's earlier period.
As individuals rose to prominence, a distinction between commoner and nobility developed and with it the previous constructs of folkright shared equally across the tribe was replaced in some cases by privilege.
Elites within the Germanic tribes who learned the Roman system and emulated the way they established dominion were able to gain advantages and exploit them accordingly.
Important changes began taking place by the 4th century CE as Germanic peoples, while still cognizant of their unique clan identities, started forming larger confederations of a similar culture.
Gathering around the dominant tribes among them and hearkening to the most charismatic leaders brought the various barbarians tribes closer together.
On the surface this change appeared to the Romans as welcome since they preferred to deal with a few strong chiefs to control the populations that they feared across the Rhine and Danube, but it eventually made these Germanic rulers of confederated peoples more and more powerful.
In early Germanic society, a woman had no formal political rights, meaning that she was not permitted to participate in popular or tribal assemblies.
Female priestesses had a major influence on decisions made by Cimbri and Teutones during the Cimbrian War, and Ariovistus during his war with Caesar.
Generally, there were two forms of marriage among the Germanic peoples, one involving the participation of the parents and the other, those that did not.
The marriage of a daughter was typically arranged by her parents, although the wishes of the daughter was generally taken into considerations.
Being as old and as tall as the men, they are equal to their mates in age and strength, and the children inherit the robustness of their parents.
Where Aristotle had set the prime of life at 37 years for men and 18 for women, the Visigothic Code of law in the 7th century placed the prime of life at twenty years for both men and women, after which both presumably married.
Thus it can be presumed that ancient Germanic brides were on average about twenty and were roughly the same age as their husbands.
Anglo-Saxon women, like those of other Germanic tribes, are marked as women from the age of twelve onward, based on archaeological finds, implying that the age of marriage coincided with puberty.
Based on the writings of Tacitus, most of the Germanic men were content with one wife, which indicates a general trend towards monogamy.
Imperial policy had to be carefully charted between the Roman-Germanic claimants to kingship and the maintenance of Roman imperial administration, as the federated Germanic kings attempted to put their stamp on Roman rule and replace Roman armies with their own warriors.
Roman leaders were not oblivious to the clever tactics (intermarriage and offspring) employed by Germanic chieftains and adopted creative treaties to either appease them or temper their ambitions.
If a man was proven guilty of being violent towards his wife, her family would in some cases begin feud against her husband.
Revealing the warlike nature of their society, Tacitus reported that wives came to their husbands as a partner in toils and dangers; to suffer and to dare equally with him, in peace and in war.
Upon the death of their husbands and other male relatives on the battlefield and the defeat of their tribe, Germanic women are recorded by Roman historians as having killed their children and committed suicide.
For Germanic women of later antiquity, marriage obviously had its appeal since it offered greater security and better placement in their social hierarchy.
This tradition is vividly described in the Germanic epics, and the wives who subjected themselves to immolation are praised for their loyalty to their husbands.
In cases of divorce described in the Icelandic sagas, the purchase price for the woman had to be paid back to her parents, and she was permitted to retain property legally owned by her.
The practice of cremation by Germanic tribes of the Bronze Age and Pre-Roman Iron Age has made it difficult to ascertain the clothing of Germanic peoples during the initial years of the Iron Age.
By the beginning of the Roman Iron Age however, burial practices were again changing, although little clothing is generally preserved in burials.
The descriptions by Roman writers, and particularly the depictions of Germanic warriors on Roman columns, provide valuable evidence of the clothing used by the early Germanic peoples.
By the Roman Iron Age, as in the Bronze Age, Germanic peoples were wearing long-sleeved jackets reaching down the knees, and a skin or woolen mantle held at the neck with a brooch or safety pin.
The adoption of this custom has been ascribed to climatic changes and the increased role of horsemanship in Germanic culture at the time.
Caesar notes that the Suebi wore only skins, but Tacitus does not agree with this in his observations a hundre years later.
Roman monuments typically depicts Germanic warriors as being naked from the waist up, except from a mantle worn over the shoulders.
This is shown from moor burials, and from the fact that such trousers began to be used by Roman soldiers at the time, probably as an imitation of Germanic warriors.
While Germanic males of the Bronze Age generally wore a helm-like cap, the Iron Age was characterized by leaving heads uncovered, whereas the head decorations of Germanic women varied considerably with the times.
By the Iron Age, Germanic warriors, particularly those of the Suebi, are known for wearing their hair in a so-called Suebian knot.
The custom of wearing the hair long had become prominent among such peoples as the Franks, among whom it became a sign of noble birth and eligibility for kingship.
Germanic warriors are often depicted in Roman columns with full beards, but this practice probably varied from tribe to tribe and period to period.
Early Germanic literature reserves a prominent place for ornaments such as the Brísingamen of the goddess Freya, the Nibelung hoard and the heirlooms of Beowulf.
Francis Owen note that these Roman observations were made from Germanic warriors, who were not necessarily representative of their communities as a whole.
Apart from linguistic studies, the subject of what became of the Roman era Germanic tribes, and how they influenced the Middle Ages and the development of modern Western culture was a subject discussed during the Enlightenment by such as writers as Montesquieu and Giambattista Vico.
The development of Germanic studies as an academic discipline in the 19th century ran parallel to the rise of nationalism in Europe and the search for national histories for the nascent nation states developing after the end of the Napoleonic Wars.
A Germanic national ethnicity offered itself for the unification of Germany, contrasting the emerging German Empire with its neighboring rivals of differing ancestry.
Following World War II there was a backlash against nationalism, and as a response, government support for the study of ancient Germanic history and culture was significantly reduced both in Germany and Scandinavia.
While Wenskus earlier maintained that the early Germanic peoples held a certain core-tradition (), Pohl has later maintained that early Germanic peoples had no institutions or values of their own, and made no contribution to medieval Europe whatsoever.
The origins of the Germanic peoples are again traced to the first millennium BC, or even the Late Neolithic, in Northern Europe.

WIlliam Garnet South (8 August 1855 – 27 May 1923) was a police officer in Alice Springs and Chief Protector of Aborigines.
South was born on 8 August 1855 at Dry Creek, in Modbury, South Australia and is one of the ten children of Henry and Margaret South who had a farm in the area.
On 27 July 1877 South joined the South Australian mounted police force where he served in Melrose, Blinman, Farina, Barrows Creek and Port Augusta, Yarrowie and Peake before his 1888 appointment to Alice Springs, which was then known as Stuart.
South was one of the first police officers appointed in Alice Springs and he served as the officer-in-charge and warden for the Gold Mining District.
As a part of this role, at the time based at the Heavitree Gap Police Station, South formed acquaintances with and was respected by Francis Gillen, Baldwin Spencer and Edward Stirling; all of whom were leaders in their fields.
South is remembered to have a greater consideration for Aboriginal people than many of his fellow policeman and was involved in the arrest and prosecution of William Willshire.
Willshire was the first police officer in Australia to be charged for murder for the shooting of two Aboriginal men, Roger and Donkey, at Tempe Downs Station in 1891 and South assisted Gillen in his investigation of the deaths.
In 1895 South was removed from his position in Alice Springs because of his involvement in the Stuart Arms Hotel and investment in mining shares: there were also accusations of poddy dodging, the theft of unbranded cattle, the charges about which were dismissed by the magistrates court as being unproved.
Following his move from Alice Springs South was stationed at the police barracks in Adelaide and, in 1907, was promoted to senior constable.

Immunotherapies that harness the activity of the immune system against tumors are proving to be an effective therapeutic approach in multiple malignancies.
Blocking these checkpoints on T cells has provided dramatic clinical benefit, but only a subset of patients exhibit clear and durable responses, suggesting that other mechanisms must be limiting the immune response.
Grogan and collaborators have identified that TIGIT, an inhibitory receptor expressed by lymphocytes, may play a role in limiting antitumor responses.

The Deportations of Kurds by Turkey from 1916 to 1934 refers to the population transfer of hundreds of thousands of Kurds from Turkish Kurdistan that was perpetuated by the Ottoman Empire and its successor Turkey in order to Turkify the region.
Most of the Kurds who were deported were forced to leave their autochthonous lands, but the deportations also included the forced sedentarization of Kurdish tribes.
During the 1910s, Kurdish-Ottoman relations were complex as some Kurds had sided with the Committee of Union and Progress against the Christian minorities for opportunistic reasons, while others had positioned themselves against the Ottomans and sided with the Christians.
Kurdish manpower had also been used in the Caucasus campaign against the Russian Empire, but the Ottomans did not consider the Kurds as loyal, believing that they would cooperate with the Armenians and the Russians to further their own nationalist aspirations.
As the forced sedentarization and deportations began, the authorities meticulously followed up to learn how well the policies were working, requesting information on whether those deported had assimilated into Turkish culture.
Moreover, the largest Kurdish city Diyarbakir was declared a 'Turkification Region' and Kurds were deported from the area, as migrants from the Balkans were planned to be settled there.
In 1916, about 300,000 Kurds were deported from Bitlis, Erzurum, Palu and Muş to Konya and Gaziantep during the winter and most perished in a famine.
When the liberal Freedom and Accord Party came to power in 1918 (to 1923), the few surviving deported Kurds were encouraged to return to their areas of origin.
However, the Kurds began to mobilize for a resistance and a group of Kurds led by Colonel Xalîd Begê Cibranî briefly captured the town of Beytuessebap (see Beytussebab rebellion of 1924).
In spite of being unsuccessful, the rebellion generated more distrust and accumulated into the Sheikh Said rebellion in 1925 which forced the mobilization of half of the Turkish army and prompted the Turks to bomb the Kurds.
The far-right wing of the Young Turks exploited this situation and demanded tougher punishments and even pro-state Kurds were persecuted including politicians Feyzi Pirinççioğlu and Pirinççizâde Sıdkı.
By mid-1925, the government initiated a pogrom in Diyarbakir executing civilians and burning villages to the ground which in total destroyed about 206 villages and killed 15,200 people.
Assuming that the laws had become successful, Turkey eased on the restrictions and allowed some of the deported to return in 1929.
Similar to the previous Sheikh Said rebellion, the Kurds of Mount Ararat rebelled in the Ararat rebellion from 1927 to 1930 and was also subdued.
On this deportation wave, Üngör writes: During the 1940s, most of the survivors of the deported Kurds received amnesty and returned to Kurdistan.
Turkish authorities have treated present-day Tunceli area with suspicion after the rebellion and consequent massacre in the 1930s which included new conducts of deportations.

National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli (also known as NIT Trichy or NITT), formerly called as Regional Engineering College, Tiruchirappalli, is a public engineering and research institution near the city of Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu, India.
NIT Trichy is recognised as an Institute of National Importance by the Government of India under the National Institutes of Technology Act, 2007.
Educational programmes here extend beyond the physical sciences and engineering into humanities and social sciences such as English and into management studies.
The institute has academic and research collaborations with universities and research centers in India and abroad including the United States and United Kingdom and is undergoing accelerated growth through the World Bank-funded Technical Education Quality Improvement Program (TEQIP).
The Regional Engineering College (REC) at Tiruchirappalli was founded in 1964 under the affiliation of University of Madras, as a co-operative venture between the Government of India and the Government of Tamil Nadu to cater to the country's need for manpower in technology.
He was a graduate of Loyola College, Chennai and the Technical University of Nova Scotia (now known as Faculty of Engineering, Dalhousie University), Canada; he pioneered the formation of Computer Science as a separate educational stream on the Indian scene.
In the early 1980s, the State Government began to find the logistics of controlling these colleges from Madras to be tedious and split the aegis into the Bharathidasan and Bharathiyar universities for the Tiruchirappalli and Coimbatore areas, respectively.
The Institute would grant degrees under this name for the next 20 years, except for a brief stint under Anna University in 2001 and 2002.
The college continued its progress under Bharathidasan University and introduced a Computer Science Department around 1984, split off the Mechanical Engineering Department's manufacturing stream into a Production Engineering Department and introduced the Instrumentation and Control Engineering Department in 1992.
This was temporary, however, as the 40-year collaboration between the Center and the State Governments for all the RECs finally dissolved ; the Center upgraded all the RECs to National Institutes of Technology (NIT) and completely took control of them under the Ministry of Human Resource Development.
In 2002, former Minister of Human Resource Development Murali Manoher Joshi decided to upgrade the RECs to NITs with the goal of modeling each institute based on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but with roots in Indian culture.

Kotta mara is used in riverine warfare, as an armed vessel or simply a blockhouse or fortification to prevent enemy advance in the river.
According the Great Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), kota mara means (1) Wall on a ship to protect men mounting the cannon (2) Terrace or wall over a castle which a cannon is mounted.
The kotta mara with bastion, like the one seen by Jacob Jansz de Roy, is constructed from wooden logs of various size and diameter.
The large kotta mara (like that of Pulau Kanamit) is described with more accuracy: An elongated square window is located on a heavy raft, which is assembled from large trees.
The inner space of this window is spacious in the length and width such that a deck can be laid from the split bamboo to form the floor and also to rig firm yokes and trestles against them, against which the top edge of the palisade will rest, while the feet of the posts are prevented by the above-mentioned window from slipping.
The wall of the fort is double; the outer covering consists of vertical, slight inwardly sloping trees which, placed against each other, are forming a parapet of nearly 5 Nd.
The raft is closed at the top by a cover of fairly heavy parts, was completely bomb-proof by an attic of beams.
The outer covering was arranged in such a way that if a hole was made by a penetrating bullet, it would immediately closed again by the rolling of other parts or logs, which were set against the outer posts completely loosely.
On the deck were two small houses set up, in one of those houses a cell block was found, which could hold 5 or 6 prisoners.
A magazine of foodstuffs, blocks and shackles to store prisoners of war, a roof to sleep in and many other conveniences were present.
However, the 4 main posts of the building had already been carved in the shape of a man with an exceptionally large nose, mouth with sharp teeth, and the lower part of the body ending in the tail of a caiman.
There was enough room inside the building for about 50 people, however the operation of the artillery must have been difficult, since the braces and struts crossed each other frequently, but everything bore the signs of solid construction.
This water-building was formidable that when the European shot a 8-pounder cannon to it, albeit with good charge, the cannon could not harm it.
During the Banjar war (1859-1906), there are several accounts of Kotta mara encounter by the Dutch, but only few are known to be written.
According to Ahmad Barjie the kotta maras were ordered by Raden Jaya Anum of Middle Kapuas, also known as Juragan Kuat.
On those occasions, the Celebes came to Pulau Petak and steamed (27 July) with the Tjipanas to the Sungai Kayu to stop the Banjar plan by an offensive act.
The completed raft, which braved the fire of the 30 pounders for hours, was described by the Dutch in their report, mentioned earlier in this page.
Second class sea lieutenant W. Steffens was sent in armed barkas on exploration, between Pulau Kanamit and the shore by rowing.
After about half an hour, the officer returned and announced that the barkas had come across a kotta mara that filled the entire space of the passage, that large masses of people on that fortification had curiously stared at the barkas, without starting hostilities, and that it might be possible to get the Celebes backwards in the passage to shoot the kotta mara with the aftside 30 pounder cannon.
Returning to Plankey in the evening, Mr. Maks informed that it would be impossible to enter the passage with the Celebes.
The armed barkas Ardjoeno, under the command of sea Lieutenant Clifford Kocq van Breugel, protected the troops, and exchanged some rifle and cartet bullets (iron cannon shot) with the enemy hiding in the undergrowth.
Finally the barkas came in the side of the kotta mara, releasing a cartet shot from the 12-pound carronnade, but with no effect; the shot fell like grains of sand along the poles of the kotta mara's parapet.
The enemy shot guns on the sloops, but hastily left the fortification as soon as the steamship Celebes started to cooperate with the rear middle cannon.
Probably it's because the Banjar and Dayak had been fighting with the Dutch's 30 pounder before, and at 35 ells (24.5 m) range the Banjar and Dayak didn't like it (because at this range the 30 pounder is able to penetrate the kotta mara).
The first bullet shot took the head off one of the corner posts; a second shot destroyed a couple of plates.
The third shot with a 16 duim (43.2 cm) grenade (exploding shell) struck in the middle of the long side, penetrated the outer casing and remained lodged against the inner casing of ironwood and exploded there.
At about 11 o'clock the Dutch flag flew on the kotta mara and in the evening at 9 o'clock this fortification has been dragged to Plankey.
In 1871-72, the disorderly conduct of Khalkom, a Mizo chief, compelled the British to establish an outpost that later became the Aizawl village.
The post had been established by Suakpuilala, the Chief of Reiek and it was only 14 kilometres from Sairang from where one could travel by flat bottomed boat.
In 1890, officer Dally of the Assam Police and his 400 men arrived at Aizawl to support Colonel Skinner's troops during a British military operation against the Mizo tribals.
On Dally's recommendation, Aizawl was selected as the site of a fortified post that Colonel Skinner had been ordered to construct.
The Indian Air Force carried out air strikes on the town during the March 1966 Mizo National Front uprising, following which the MNF withdrew to Lunglei.
Until 1966, Aizawl was a large village but the regrouping of Mizo villages after the uprising made it become a larger town and then a city.
It is situated on a ridge 1,132 metres (3715 ft) above sea level, with the Tlawng river valley to its west and the Tuirial river valley to its east.

The Directorate-General for Civil Protection and Emergencies (DGPCE) is a component of the Spanish Department of the Interior responsible for promoting, planning and coordinating the various actors involved in the field of civil defence, both national and international.
Civil defence currently finds its legal basis, within the Spanish Constitution, in the obligation of public authorities to guarantee the right to life and physical integrity, as the first and most important of all fundamental rights (article 15), in the principles of national unity and territorial solidarity (article 2), and in the essential requirements of efficiency and administrative coordination (article 103).
By Law, in accordance with article 30.4 of the Constitution, citizens may be imposed duties to deal with cases of serious risk.
The first measures around civil protection in Spain were taken in 1941 when the Central Office for Passive Defence and Territory was created to protect the population and the resources and wealth of the country.
This Central Office depended directly on the Office of the Prime Minister and it was headed by a general officer of the Army.
This year the Central Office was reformed and the Directorate-General for Civil Protection was created with the main objective of creating an organ with the same denomination that was used in the international scope.
In 1967, the directorate-general was relegated to the rank of sub-directorate-general and integrated into the Directorate-General of the Civil Guard, which since 1943 had some units for these purpose.
In addition, it developed and regulated its several units, maintained the service to its full extent, guaranteed the dissemination of the media, reinforced cooperation with the Civil Guard and respected the local and provincial character traditionally recognized for the fight against emergencies.
Already in 1980, during the term of Minister Juan José Rosón, the civil protection system was strengthened with the creation of a collective body to coordinate the action of the rest of departments, administrations and organizations, both public and private.
Likewise, the Directorate-General for Civil Protection was recovered and structured through a General Secretariat and the information, operational coordination and mobilization services.
In July 1982, a new structure was approved based on two sub-directorates-general: one of Studies and Organization for conducting studies, for training and improvement of professional and volunteer staff, as well as assuming the secretariat of the National Committee and preparing the legislation; and a sub-directorate-general of Operations for operational intervention and drills.
In the nation-wide level, the Ministry of the Interior exercises the higher direction, coordination and inspection of the actions and resources used to accomplish with the civil protection plans.
In the regional level, the autonomous communities are authorized to regulate its own civil defence systems, but always with a coordination body with representatives of all administrations and the higher coordination of the State.
The Military Emergencies Unit, created in 2006 has became a fundamental element of the System, intervening in all the most important national and international catastrophes since its creation.
The National Civil Protection System Act, in its article 17, establishes the obligation of the Armed Forces to collaborate in case of catastrophe, and it does so through the mentioned unit.
To request the assistance of the UME, the request has to be made by the Minister of Home Affairs to the Minister of Defence.
The Act also establishes that, in a case of a national interest emergency, the UME would assume the higher direction of the emergency under the orders of the Minister of Home Affairs.
All citizens, since the coming of age, are subject to the obligation to collaborate, personally and materially, in civil protection, in case of requirement by the competent authorities.
This obligation consist in complying with the prevention and protection measures established by law to protect persons and goods when required.
In cases of serious risk, catastrophe or public calamity, all residents in the national territory are obliged to perform personal provisions required by the competent authority, without the right to compensation for this cause, and to comply with general or individuals orders that the authority dictates.

Burns with areas larger than 160 cm (25 square inches) have the potential to cause serious systemic toxicity from interference with blood and tissue calcium levels.
Breathing in the HF fumes can result in fevers, pulmonary edema (fluid buildup in the lungs), bleeding, and low blood oxygen.
Hydrofluorocarbons in automatic fire suppression systems can release hydrogen fluoride at high temperatures, and this has led to deaths from acute respiratory failure in military personnel when a rocket-propelled grenade hit the fire suppression system in their vehicle.
Formation of insoluble calcium fluoride is proposed as the cause for both precipitous fall in serum calcium and the severe pain associated with tissue toxicity.
Initial treatment of exposure involves removing contaminated clothing and washing the affected area with large amount of water over at least 30 minutes.
If pain continues calcium gluconate can be injected into the affected area or given by injection into a vein or artery.

At the time of the Dutch arrival, the region was inhabited by various tribes speaking Trans–New Guinea languages, such as the Awyu, the Yaqay, or the Kayagar.
The inhabitant of the area were mostly left alone by the outside world until the first half of the 20th century, when the Dutch started taking an interest in the region.
In 1926, a penitential colony for political prisoners was established further inland at Tanahmerah, although it would take ten more years for the first Dutch government post to be established in the Mappi area.
In 1936 a military post known as Mappi Post was set up on an hill named Tamao, at the confluence of the Digoel and Kawarga River, to prevent Headhunting raids which were creating unrest and migrations, and assert Dutch control over the area.
Following the Japanese invasion of New Guinea in 1942 and the subsequent bombing of the post by Japanese aircraft in 1943, the post was essentially abandoned and only manned by a coastwatcher.
In 1944, the Australian Army moved in, installing a radar station which had been previously operating in Bupul, with the goal of spotting Japanese airplanes coming from the west to attack Merauke.
However, as the Japanese airfields were wiped out by allied aerial bombardments, the radar station became useless and the Australian army departed in 1945.
Shortly after the war in 1946, the administrative center of the Mappi subdistrict was moved from the Mappi Post to the village of Kepi, a protestant mission with a church was established there, and catholic religious orders soon followed, such as the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart or Our Lady of the Seven Dolours in 1948.
This Welfare Plan Mappi and the Regional Plan, which encouraged the cultivation of cocoa and rubber, were joint ventures of the mission and the Dutch government.
The christian missionaries carried on their work after the withdrawal of the Dutch from the area in 1962, and the subsequent transfer of Western New Guinea to Indonesia.
During the rainy monsoon, the rivers in the region regularly overflow their banks and often flood large areas for several months.
The city can also be reached by boats going up the Oba river, itself connected to the Digul and the Odamun rivers through the Mappi river.

After 1945, with Hesse now a part of the US occupation zone till May 1949, and thereafter a constituent element of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), Rink served as a member of the Landtag (state parliament) of Hesse between December 1946 and November 1950.
As a young man, hungry for education, he attended the Trades Union Academy in Berlin as well as the Party and Commercial Academy in Frankfurt am Main.
At the end of 1918 the USPD itself splintered: by or during the early part of 1919 Rink, like most USPD activists, had switched his political allegiance to the newly formed Communist Party.
However, during the aftermath of the so-called March Action he backed the former party leader Paul Levi, whose political differences with the newly powerful hardliner faction continued to intensify.
Aloys Rink resumed his membership of the SPD and returned to his work as a skilled metal worker, while still continuing to serve on the town council.
As German politics became increasingly polarised, and following an unsuccessful Reichstag candidacy in 1930, Rink returned to the at , but now as SPD members.
However, the SPD also staged a small recovery (at the expense of the Communists), the number of their seats increasing to 17. .
After the National Socialists took power nationally, the country was rapidly transformed into a one-party dictatorship during the first part of 1933.
The new government was keen to bring Germany more closely into line with the anglo-french government model by imposing a powerfully centralised government structure: under the terms of state level parliaments were abolished, formally with effect from 7 July 1933.
Aloys Rink's parliamentary career came to an end for the duration of the Hitler period, along with his role as a town councillor.
With the fall of the National Socialists in 1945, non-Nazi party membership ceased to be illegal, and Aloys Rink, by now aged 64, resumed his SPD membership, becoming a co-refounder of the .
While resuming his long-standing former role as a town councillor in , he took a senior post with the welfare department for .
Under the post-war military occupation the state of Hesse was relaunched, and a new 90 seat democratically elected Landtag (state parliament) was inaugurated in December 1946.
A memory which the grandson particularly treasured was the time that Aloys Rink had given him a bicycle, which in the context of the post-war austerity had been an exceptionally generous present.

The Waziristan campaign was a road construction effort and military campaign conducted from 21 December 1921 to 31 March 1924 by British and Indian forces in Waziristan (in what is now Pakistan).
These operations were part of the new Forward Policy, which sought to reduce and eventually eliminate tribal uprisings and tribal raids into settled districts by stationing regular troops inside Waziristan, which would then be capable of swiftly responding to Waziri rebellions.

The recording was made in a single shot, without using the overdubbing technique of layers of audio, but all the instruments playing simultaneously to give the material the sensation of live recording.
The music video was recorded in Germany at MTV Europe Studios and directed by Kai Matthiesen, famous for his work with Mr. President and Scatman John.
The video begins when Mette enters a sea-view kitchen-like setting and picks up a crunchy serial box containing two human miniatures (which are actually Christian and Mads) along with fruits like mango, strawberry, pineapple, coconut and kiwifruit, which come to life after being licked by mette.
Within his first year of work, he took part in a lengthy strike, and as a result, was allowed to join the Basford and District Hosiery Trimmers' and Finishers' Society, despite being under the usual age for admission.
He then returned to his trade in Nottingham, to find high unemployment, and these two experiences led him to become a socialist.
In 1921, Charlesworth's union merged into the new Nottingham and District Hosiery Finishers' Association (NHFA), in which he became increasingly active.
He was elected to the executive of the NHFA in 1930, as vice president in 1933, and then president in 1934.
He also represented the union to the National Federation of Hosiery Dyers and Finishers, and on the Nottingham and District Trades Council.
Charlesworth joined the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1930, and although he did not keep this a secret, it did not initially impeded his trade unionism.
In 1940, he was removed from the trades council's executive for his support for the People's Convention, but with the backing of the NHFA was soon reinstated, becoming president of the trades council in 1941 and 1942, then assistant secretary from 1943.
Charlesworth managed to almost double membership, to 3,500, and resolve the disputes, but he believed that the various local hosiery unions should merge.
Within four years, he had increased its membership from 1,700 to 2,700, increased its provision of education and recreation, and took the leading role in the Hosiery Finishers' Association.
By the late 1960s, he felt that the union was threatened by changes in the trade, and he led its merger into the NUHW, completed in 1969.
The union became the Nottingham (Finishers) district of the NUHW, and Charlesworth continued as its secretary until his retirement in 1973, also working as secretry of the Hosiery Finishers' Association.
Charlesworth was elected as secretary of the Nottingham and District Trades Council in 1950, focusing on industrial affairs, peace, and opposition to racism.

The Patwardhan dynasty was an Indian dynasty established by the Chitpavan Brahmin Patwardhan family, ruling several parts of the Maratha Empire from 1733 till 1948, when it acceded to the Dominion of India.
At its peak, various branches of the dynasty controlled several Jagirs within the Maratha Empire, and later became protectorate Princely states in British India.
The Patwardhan family were of the Chitpavan Brahmin caste, originally from the village of Kotawde in Ratnagiri, in the state of Maharashtra.
The patriarch of the family, Haribhat, was the family priest for another Chitpavan Brahmin family, the Joshi family, who served as the Chiefs of Ichalkaranji.
They were each rewarded for their efforts with a Jagir, together covering all the land between the Tungabhadra and Krishna Rivers.
Although significantly reduced in size, their Jagirs were later to be raised to the status of Princely state under the British Raj, and the Rajas of Jamkhandi, Kurundwad, Miraj and Sangli were all lineal descendants of these Patwardhan brothers.
After the Treaty of Salbai aligned the Marathi with the British, the three Patwardhan chiefs lent their armies in the British campaign against Tipu Sultan.
This state became a British protectorate on 5 May 1819, and gained seniority when a junior branch split on 5 April 1854, forming the Kurundvad Junior State.
This branch was established in 1854, after Trimbakrao of Kurundvad Junior and Vinayakrao of Kurundvad Junior spilt from the senior branch.

An ephemeral acid saline lake is a lake that is relatively high in dissolved salts and has a low pH, usually within the range of <1 - 5 and does not have standing water year round.
These types of lakes are identified by high concentrations of evaporite minerals, notably halite, gypsum, and various iron oxides allowing the lakes to become hypersaline.
Due to the low acidity and high salinity, as well as the periodic total evaporation of the lakes, the waters are generally uninhabitable to life larger than microbes.
The microscopic organisms that do live there possess a startling array of biodiversity, spanning from halophilic bacteria and archaea to acidophilic fungi.
Because of the unusual ability for life to survive in such a harsh environment, acid saline lakes have recently been studied for their relevance to the field of astrobiology.
Acid saline lake systems are considered a rarity within the natural world, and the highest concentration of acid saline lakes occur in Western Australia.
They form most favorably under semi-arid to arid conditions and have been closely connected to stable interior cratons and closed paleodrainage basins, allowing groundwaters to evaporate to the extreme salinity and acidity values present today.
Unlike most natural acid saline systems, these lakes are unusual in that they are neither volcanically or hydrothermally fed and are not in direct contact with large sulfide deposits yet have brines with pH that can reach <1.
The extreme acidity and salinity of these lakes are largely influenced by geological, climatic, and geographical conditions that have developed over the past 2 million years.
These ancient rocks were formed by closed basins via fault block valleys and have been incised by paleodrainage in the Eocene epoch.
The Archean complexes are highly weathered and deformed, and are economic sources of aluminium and nickel, along with other minor metals.
As the craton is tectonically inactive and hasn’t dropped below sea level since the Mesozoic, it has resulted in sparse zones of sedimentary rock layers such as lignite, siltstones, sandstones, and marine limestones.
These deposits are primarily thought to have been deposited during the last two marine transgressions of the Tertiary, which allowed some of the incised valleys to be filled with seawater and other marine sediments.
Paleodrainage from rivers ended in the lake Eocene and the Darling Range uplift successfully dammed river flow and created isolated lake basins.
Because of the varied terrain, lakes can be hosted directly on basement Archean rocks while others reside on weathered regolith, Tertiary sandstones and limestones.
As such, the varying geochemistry’s of the lakes are in part attributed to the different water rock interactions due to varying host rock.
The dry season falls primarily during the winter months (June – August) and the wet season is during the summer months (December – March).
Conversely, during the dry months as evapoconcentration dominates and the lakes experience an increase in acidity (median = 4.4) and salinity.
Geochemically, the average pH range of the lakes are from >1 to 5 and the average salinity is >25%, nearly 8 times that of seawater.
Most of the Western Australian waters are sodium chloride (NaCl) brines with varying, but regionally excessive, amounts of calcium, potassium, aluminium, iron, bromine and silicon (Ca, K, Al, Fe, Br, and Si).
Most of the ions within the waters are Na and Cl (~88%) but can vary from 60% - 98% in some lakes.
Many elemental components within the lake systems are made up of ions that are usually only found in trace amounts in other natural lakes.
The amount of Fe in the waters has a positive correlation with salinity, with the higher the salinity of the water the higher Fe value is present.
Even more different than usual brines, in acid saline systems the amount of Al is magnitudes higher than that of Ca.
Some of the most concentrated Al is at 8000mg/L, which is much higher than that of acid mine waters or seawaters.
Less common trace ions include zinc, nickel, molybdenum and cobalt (Zn, Ni, Mo, and Co) in detectable amounts, and show a positive correlation with increasing acidity and salinity.
High elevations of metallic ions and other trace elements are in most acidic of solutions represent the influence water-rock interactions play in the formation of these brines.
Lakes that are much farther away with slow groundwater flow are thought to be influenced predominately by the oxidation of the organic and sulfide materials hosted in the Archean basement rocks and coal deposits.
They most likely form from direct precipitation from the acid lake waters, direct precipitation from shallow groundwaters to make cements, and alteration of feldspars and amphiboles.
The stability of the minerals are predominately controlled by pH and cation availability, and where kaolinite is typically most stable at neutral pH's in others waters, the positive function of Al and Si ions to increasing acidity allow kaolinite to precipitate at pH extremes.
These clays play an interesting role in the lakes geochemistries and have been studied to better understand how acid saline lakes could be a useful planetary analogue for Mars.
While acid saline saline systems such as those in Western Australia are unusual on Earth, there have been similar sedimentary records found within the Mawrth Vallis and Nili Fossae regions of Mars.
Additionally, clay minerals have been detected in these regions on Mars, which would indicate that large reservoirs of water had to exist for their formation.
The existence of jarosite, alunite, acid-tolerant kaolin groups, and chlorides on Mars indicate that these areas could share some characteristics of the Western Australian lakes.
While organics are not well preserved within the clays of the lake system, they do record D values for formational waters that can shed light on potential habitable conditions.

The Nottingham Hosiery Finishers' Association (NHFA) was a trade union representing workers involved in trimming and putting together hosiery in the Nottingham area of England.
The union was founded in 1921, when the Basford and District Hosiery Trimmers' and Finishers' Society, representing mostly better-paid men in the industry, merged with the Basford and District Bleaching, Dyeing, Scouring and Trimming Auxiliary Trades Association, which represented mostly lower-paid women.
As the largest of many local unions of hosiery finishers, the union played a leading role in the National Federation of Hosiery Dyers and Finishers.
Jack Charlesworth, president of the union from 1934, left in 1942, but was overwhelmingly elected as general secretary in 1947, taking 1,007 votes to his nearest rival's 124.
As a result, in October 1969, the union merged into the larger National Union of Hosiery and Knitwear Workers, becoming its Nottingham (Finishers) District.

In the 1870s the navy in the Dutch East Indies consisted of an auxiliary squadron of four ships from the Netherlands, and the colonial navy of 22 ships.
From the introduction of screw propulsion up to the 1870s almost 20 small wooden steam screws ships were built for the Indische Militaire Marine.
The wooden screw ships tended to decay quickly, and so the Dutch navy began to look into the possibilities of composite built ships.
In early 1870 the department of the Indische Militaire Marine in Batavia asked the Dutch Navy in The Hague to immediately start the construction of four screw steamships fourth class.
The reason was that a number of these vessels present in the Indies would soon have to be decommissioned because of their condition and advanced age.
The department in Batavia was confident that the Dutch shipyards knew how to construct these vessels, and had only determined that the vessels should be made of Teak from Java, and should be 4 meters longer than the previous ships in order to have more room for storage, and to be able to load more coal.
The problem in the Netherlands was that just at that time, the navy wanted to switch to composite built ships, and so designing these ships took a whole lot more time.
The main defect of the screw steamships preceding the Riouw class was their very short lifespan when used in the tropics.
This gave the oak wood used in the construction of ships the time to become even more resistant to the rot and decay brought on by maritime use.
However, in the age of steam most wooden screw ships faced three problems: The first problem was that the builders were not allowed to take so much construction time when technology was advancing so quickly.
The heat and humidity of the engines inside the ship harbored vermin, especially white ants (as termites were called at the time).
Wooden screw steam ships in the tropics were therefore vulnerable to shipworms on the outside and extra vulnerable to termites and dry rot on the inside.
The frame/structure was made of wrought iron and gave the composite ship the rigidity that was so essential for the free movement of the screw axle.
The wooden planking / hull of the ship allowed the attachment of copper sheathing that kept the barnacle and other pests from attaching themselves to the ship, and kept the shipworm out.
Because of the many wooden parts (decks, internal walls) still used in the composite ship, it was not free from these plagues, but it was less vulnerable.
The depth of hold (from the upper deck to the upper surface of the keel) was 4 m, and gives an idea of the rather cramped conditions on board.
The displacement was almost 20% more, while the number of crew stayed the same, and so the class had a bigger capacity for cargo or living conditions.
In May 1873 a budget law was proposed to increase the East Indies budget, so the Aceh War could be continued.
Naval officers and ship building engineers were said to agree that the improved screw steam ships fourth class were an excellent type of ship for the tasks of the Dutch Colonial Navy.
As regards spaciousness and ventilation they did not suffer from the defects of the old steam ships fourth class, and offered the officers and men lodgings suitable to the Indian climate.
With respect to the duration of the service of these ships, one of course has to consider that actual service will wear out ships sooner than laying in port.
However, the average duration of the service of the Riouw class is indeed significantly much lower than that of the succeeding Pontianak class.
Cyril Ross Grayson, Jr (born December 5, 1993) is an American football wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League (NFL).

After not playing college football, he attended a pro day organized by LSU, and he signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent on April 10, 2017.
He was waived on September 2, 2017 and was signed to the practice squad the next day, only to be released five days later.
A. Chanslor was an oil tanker built in 1910 which was wrecked off of Cape Blanco, Oregon, on 18 December 1919, with only three survivors of the 38 crew.
A. Chanslor, who, with Charles A. Canfield, formed the Chanslor-Canfield Midway Oil Company, which began drilling operations in the Midway oil field in late 1901.
Early on Thursday night, 18 December 1919, while en route from Portland, Oregon, to San Francisco, the ship struck rocks off of Cape Blanco, on the southern Oregon coast, in dense fog and sank.
On course at noon, a strong cross-current swept the steamer out of her plot, unknown to her crew, and in the poor visibility, the jagged rocks were not observed until it was too late, according to a statement made by her captain, recovering in hospital in Bandon.
Fifteen men of the 36 crew escaped the foundering vessel in a single lifeboat but only three made it ashore alive.
The life boat drifted north during Thursday night and Friday to a point 30 miles north of Cape Blanco, and about four miles north of Bandon, but overturned in the surf while attempting to reach shore.
A representative of the Associated Oil Company was expected at Marshfield, Oregon, on 22 December to make arrangements for sending the bodies to the San Francisco Company headquarters.
Captain Johnson, of the U. S. Coast Guard, inspected the wrecked vessel on Sunday 21 December, and hoped a diver could approach the site as conditions improved and became the most favorable since the ship struck the rocks.
Efforts were made on 23–24 December to reach the sunken vessel to recover the bodies, but little hope was given that this would succeed.

Igor Pavlovich Shaskol'Skii (1918–1995) was a Russian medievalist and economic historian who was a specialist in Russian relations and trade with the Baltic provinces and Scandinavia in the medieval and early-modern periods.
He was a part-time lecturer at Saint Petersburg University and a corresponding member of the Saint Petersburg Institute of History and its predecessors.
He challenged the established Soviet positions on the origins of the Rus' and trade through the Baltic, and was instrumental in the wider dissemination of primary source material.
In 1941–42 he was present during the siege of Leningrad by the Germans during the Second World War and helped to build defensive structures.
In 1947 he produced a thesis for LSU on the struggle of Novgorod with Sweden and Norway in the 13th century.
At the end of the 1940s, Shaskol'skii was teaching at a Communist Party school and working for a Karelian-Finnish branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences in Petrozavodsk, after which he worked at the State Museum of the History of Religion in Saint Petersburg.
From 1956 to 1995 he worked at the Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg and was a part-time lecturer at Saint Petersburg University (LSU) from 1951 to 1986.
In 1965 he defended his doctoral thesis before the Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg on the subject of the 1617 Treaty of Stolbovo and trade relations between Russia and the Swedish state in the first half of the 17th century.
Shaskol'Skii specialised in the history of Russian relations and trade with the Baltic and Scandinavia in the medieval and early-modern periods, particularly trade and diplomatic relations with Sweden.
He also addressed the Normanist theory that proposed that the origins of the Rus' were Norman, and therefore Scandinavian, taking a nuanced position that broadly accepted the anti-Normanism endorsed by Soviet historiography but also acknowledged that there was primary evidence for parts of the Normanist position.
He was instrumental in the wider dissemination of primary source material from archives through his work on editorial boards and wrote many articles that made extensive use of primary sources.
In the book he showed that the accepted Soviet position that the trade went mainly through Arkhangelsk on the northern coast, due to the blocking effect of the Swedish Baltic provinces, was wrong and in fact Russian trade in the Baltic was strong.
In 2018, a collection of essays on Saint Petersburg and Sweden in the 17th and 18th centuries, edited by P. V. Sedov, was published in Saint Petersburg to mark the 100th anniversary of Shaskol'skii's birth.

He led a group of 13 students from Siberia, who began as a 'commune' - a cultural club offering mutual help and a library - and evolved into a political organization advocating Siberian independence.
A portrait of Nikolay Chernyshevsky, whom they regarded as an honorary Siberian because he was in exile there, hung at their meetings.
In 1869, Sergey Nechayev made contact with the group during a short visit to St. Petersburg, and recruited one of its members, Pyotr Toporkov, to his conspiratorial Russian Revolutionary Society.
In January 1870, Dolgushin and other members of the group were arrested, but after a year and a half in prison, they were acquitted in August 1871 for lack of evidence.
By autumn 1872, Dolgushin – married with an infant son – had formed a new student circle, the Group of Twenty-Two, who planned to foment a peasant rebellion by promising to free them from debt, redistribute land, end military conscription, abolish the internal passport system and set up village schools.
In March 1873, they moved to Moscow, then to a small house near the city, where they set up a printing press and began handing their books and pamphlets out to the peasants, who were astonished to be offered them free.
As retribution, members of the group were confined in Kharkov Prison, instead of Siberia, in such harsh conditions that one of their numbers, a schoolteacher named Dmitri Gamov, went insane and died in the prison hospital.
One of his fellow prisoners there, Sofya Bogomolets, was insulted by a guard on the same day that Dolgushin was denied a visit by his son.

His stay in the Pacific led him to regularly visit the British bases of Hong Kong and Singapore as well as to fully appreciate the rise in power of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
On his return to Metropolitan France, his versatility and his skills made him the ideal to occupy the function of inspector of the maritime forces.
The November 9, 1942, he began by condemning the arrival on the ground of El Aouina of Luftwaffe aircraft sent on the spot by Field Marshal Albert Kesselring.
But very quickly, out of loyalty to Pétain and under pressure from Pierre Laval's instructions, Esteva was forced to change position.

The Lac La Croix Indian Pony (LLCIP), also known as the Ojibwe pony (), is a semi-feral Canadian horse breed developed by the Ojibwe people.
The modern breed name derives from the Lac La Croix First Nation of Ontario, where the horses were last found in the wild.
Lac La Croix ponies were believed to be a landrace cross of Canadian horse and Spanish Colonial horse or Mustang breeding.
These original horses declined to the point that only four mares remained, at which time their bloodlines were crossed with Spanish Mustang stallions.
Blood-typing studies conducted by Gus Cothran at the University of Kentucky indicate that the ponies have British pony ancestry as well as some Iberian horse markers.
A 2011 study found they had the second-lowest average effective number of alleles and allelic richness (2.83 and 4.01) among several breeds of pony breeds found in Canada.
A 2012 study of matrilineal genetics verified Canadian horse and British pony breed ancestry, with Iberian origins indicated but more difficult to verify on account of modern Spanish Mustang crossbreeding.
By 1900, the ponies were relatively plentiful, with an estimated population of a few thousand, found in many of the First Nation reserves in the area.
In the early 20th century, indigenous people were prohibited by the government from leaving their Reserves without a permit, and so taking away their horses further limited their movement.
The last population in the Unites States, located at the Bois Forte Indian Reservation in Minnesota, was killed off in the 1940s.
Missionaries at the reservation decided it was inappropriate for children to witness the sight of semi-feral horses in the act of mating.
By the 1960s, when someone accidentally shot a colt who was the last remaining male of breeding age, there were six horses left, including one elderly stallion that was unable to breed.
In 2012, scientists recommended a conservation strategy be developed for the Eriskay pony and the Lac La Croix, based upon the need to preserve their unique genetics.
The modern Lac La Croix Indian Pony is considered a spirit animal by the Ojibwe people and is used in programs promoting indigenous heritage.

He resigned on October 6, 1870 and former mayor Torrey E. Wales served as acting mayor until Linsley's term expired in April 1871.
In 1874, Linsley was one of the organizers and promoters of the Burlington and Lamoille Valley Railroad, and he was its president from 1874 to 1875 and chief engineer from 1875 to 1876.
In 1886, Linsley moved to New York City, where he promoted the New York and Boston Rapid Transit Company, a venture which proposed to build a direct rail line between New York City and Boston, Massachusetts.
The work was still in progress at the time of Linsley's death, but the enterprise proved unsuccessful and the company became defunct.

In particular, she looks at how actin (an element of the cytoskeleton) can initiate the formation of filaments, which permit inward bending of the plasma membrane.
Invagination, the inward bending process of the plasma membrane, is known as endocytosis, and ensures that cells can regulate the composition of their surface to respond to environmental signals.
Basil, 1st Chevalier de Weryha-Wysoczański-Pietrusiewicz (23 April 1816 – 25 October 1891) was a Polish wholesale merchant, landowner, town property owner and philanthropist from Odessa.
He came from an old noble family of Walachian boyar stock and was the 4th son of Jan, 2nd Chevalier Wysoczański de Pietrusiewicz.
He had one daughter, Wilhelmine, who married a Swiss rentier and died at age 19 in Cannes, as well a favoured place of her father and of the international nobility in general.
Born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, de Weryha-Wysoczański made his money, as his biographer informs us in 1892, with vodka supplies for the army during the Crimean War.
He soon got rid of a café-pâtisserie on Odessa’s famous Deribasovskaya Street and, as his biographer puts it, ‘became a fully-fledged gentleman capitalist’.
In 1861 he was awarded the Silver Medal on the Ribbon of Saint Stanislas and in 1876 received a confirmation of the title of Hereditary Chevalier of Galicia with the Wukry coat of arms.
After the death of his only daughter, he gave in Odessa, in February 1885, £900.000 for orphaned girls who would be paid dowries.
He founded the Saint Nicholas Church in Wysocko Wyżne, Austro-Hungarian Empire, the consecration of which took place on 13 October 1891.
De Weryha-Wysoczański features in it with his real name, although other names were changed, as well as some facts for reasons of dramatisation.

Irene Komnene Palaiologina (; –1284), after known by her monastic name as Eulogia (Εὐλογία), was an elder sister of the Byzantine emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos.
Originally close to the emperor, her opposition to the Union of the Churches in 1273 led to their estrangement, and even to intrigues by Irene against Michael involving foreign rulers.
The historian George Pachymeres reports on how she used to lull Michael to sleep with the assurance that he would be the future emperor who would recover Constantinople from the Latin Empire; in 1261, she was the one who brought him the news of the reconquest of Constantinople.
In order to safeguard the rights of Michael's son, Andronikos II Palaiologos, Irene urged her brother to have Laskaris sidelined completely.
However, she rejected Michael's espousal of the Union of the Churches in 1273, and became a leader of the anti-Unionist faction at court.
Her relationship with her brother turned to bitter hostility, and Michael banished her to the fortress of Gregorios in the Gulf of Nicomedia.
Irene also did not hesitate to involve her son-in-law in the anti-Unionist cause: with the aid of her daughter, she incited Tikh against Michael, and even tried, without success, to form an alliance against Byzantium between Bulgaria and the Mamluk Sultanate.
During their career, film-making duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have worked on a number of projects which never progressed beyond the pre-production stage under their direction.
On August 7, 2015, it was revealed that Lord and Miller would not direct the film, but instead write and produce.
The news was leaked after Sony's system was hacked and then confirmed by the directors of the films, Lord and Miller, during an interview about it.
In October 2015, Seth Grahame-Smith was in negotiations to direct and write the script, based off the treatment by Lord and Miller.
On June 20, 2017 it was reported that they had been fired from the project by Lucasfilm, after over four-and-a-half months of filming, about three-quarters through principal photography.
The Big East–Big 12 Scheduling Alliance or Big East-Big 12 Battle is an annual NCAA college basketball series where all 10 teams from both the Big East and Big 12 face each other.
For the first alliance, unlike the SEC–Big East Challenge and current Gavitt Tipoff Games and Big 12/SEC Challenge, the teams will not face each other all on the same day.
That person then chooses the second person (from the same sex) for the Battle and also the type of battle (a quiz, extrusion, endurance, sleight).
After the contestants are eliminated, they are taken to Torpet where they'll be given a second chance to try and re-enter the competition.
On the fourth week, four challengers come to the farm where they live for two weeks while doing chores and getting to know the other contestants.
At the end of the two weeks, the contestants on the farm decide which two are allowed to stay on the farm.

The Act will for the first time in Wales afford 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote, beginning with the Welsh General Election in 2021.
The decision is the largest franchise extension in Wales since 1969, when the Representation of the People Act in 1969 reduced the voting age from 21 to 18.
The decision was controversial and saw much debate in the Chamber between those who favoured the single name Senedd and those (led by former First Minister Carwyn Jones) who sought to include a bilingual element.
The law has also been changed so that disqualified individuals are prohibited from taking up a seat in the Assembly rather than being prohibited from standing for election, and ensuring that the Electoral Commission is funded by and accountable to the Assembly for Welsh elections.

The valley of the Petite rivière Pikauba is mainly accessible thanks to the route 169 and the route 175 (connecting Quebec and Chicoutimi).
Forestry developed in the sector at the end of the 19th century, thus generating the development of hunting and fishing activities.
The surface of the Petite rivière Pikauba is usually frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from mid-December to the end of March.
The Little Pikauba River flows into a bay on the south shore of Kenogami Lake, west of Pointe Finnigan which is attached to the south shore of the lake.
From the confluence of the Little Pikauba river and the Pikauba River the current successively follows the course of the latter on towards the north, crosses the Kenogami Lake on north-east to barrage de Portage-des-Roches, then follow the course of the Chicoutimi River on to the east, then the northeast and the course of the Saguenay River on east to Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence estuary.
Although new African-American newspapers continued to be established in Utah through at least the 1990s, many of the state's historical African-American newspapers date to a period of journalistic ferment between 1890 and 1910.
Many of these early local papers were members of the Western Negro Press Association, which held its fifth annual meeting in Salt Lake City in 1900.
Karl Davis (January 17, 1962 in Brooklyn, NY – May 2, 1987) was an African-American fashion designer once called one of New York's most promising young designers.
Davis attended New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology for only one semester - six months - and while there studied pattern making.
Though brief – from age 17 until shortly before his death at age 25 – Karl Davis experienced a career highly praised and of impressive achievement.
Funeral services for Davis were held 7 May 1987 at St. Mary’s Church of Christ in Brooklyn, NY, followed by interment also in Brooklyn at Cypress Hills Cemetery.
Karl Davis was survived by his parents, Rose and Lembert Davis of Brooklyn, and three sisters, Jackie and Robin, both of Brooklyn, and Andora Boyd of Virginia.
He is attested by numerous accounts of the Battle of Clontarf in which he is said to have lost his life supporting the cause of Brian Bóruma mac Cennétig, High King of Ireland, a king whose forces fought against those of Sitriuc mac Amlaíb, King of Dublin, Máel Mórda mac Murchada, King of Leinster and Sigurðr Hlǫðvisson, Earl of Orkney.
Domnall is the first Mormaer of Mar on record, and the Irish sources that note him are the earliest sources to note the province of Mar.
In times of peace, a Scottish mormaer would have overseen one of the provinces of Alba, and in times of war, he would have commanded its military forces.
In 1014, Domnall fought and died at the Battle of Clontarf, supporting the cause of Brian Bóruma mac Cennétig, High King of Ireland.
The battle was fought by the forces of the High King of Ireland against the allied forces of Sitriuc mac Amlaíb, King of Dublin, Máel Mórda mac Murchada, King of Leinster, and Sigurðr Hlǫðvisson, Earl of Orkney.
Although Brian's forces won the fight, it was a Pyrrhic victory, leaving both sides decimated, with Brian and members of his immediate family amongst the dead, and his objective of capturing Dublin left unfulfilled.
Domnall appears to have been one of the principal commanders in the battle, and appears to have commanded a portion of Brian's army composed of foreign mercenaries.
The battalion that appears to have formed the left flank is stated to have been composed of ten mormaers and their Scandinavian allies.
Opposite this battalion, the coalition's right flank appears to have been composite force of Scandinavian mercenaries in the fore and Leinstermen in the rear.
As such, there is reason to suspect that its (possibly exaggerated) depiction of Domnall may have been intended to promote a theme of shared interests between Munster and Alba.
According to this source, the night before hostilities, a certain Plait, identified as the son of the King of , boasted that there was no man in Ireland fit to fight him.
The following day, once the battalions were arrayed on the field of battle, Plait is said to have called out Domnall, whereupon the two fight one another, dying by each other's hand.
Whether the two actually encountered each other the night before is questionable, as is perhaps the claim that the battle began with the duel between two opposing champions.
If there is any historical basis to the tale, it may be more likely that the two had crossed paths sometime previous, and that the battle merely allowed them to settle an old score.
When Murchad retorts that he is unwilling retreat one foot of land in front of his men, and declares that many false heroes will fall back and leave their share of the battle to him, Domnall swears that he will not shirk from his part.
Domnall is thus depicted as a trusted and true follower of Brian, and it is possible that this passage was intended increase the drama in preparation for the account of Domnall's final fall.
There is no mention of Domnall's title in this pre-battle scene, and the text implies that Domnall was personally attached to Brian, occupying a leadership role under him.
Although Muirchertach faced a serious threat from Magnús Óláfsson, King of Norway during his reign, the two orchestrated a marriage alliance between Muirchertach's daughter, Bjaðmunjo, and Magnús' son, Sigurðr.
Domnall's part in the battle partly evinces the international nature of the clash, and may be indicative of Brian's diplomatic ability.
On one hand, Domnall may have merely acted as a hired mercenary, or perhaps as a dislocated nobleman exiled from Alba.
If he had been fostered by an Irish family, it is also conceivable that Domnall could have felt obliged to serve alongside them.
If there is any truth to this claim, it could be evidence of otherwise unrecorded contact between Brian and the Scots that could account for Domnall's part in the battle.
Less than a decade before the battle, in 1005, Máel Coluim mac Cináeda overturned his cousin, Cináed mac Duib, King of Alba, and seized the kingship of Alba.
That very year, Brian made a donation of gold to the church of Armagh—an eminent religious centre of the people of both Ireland and Alba—and recognised its claims of ecclesiastical supremacy throughout Ireland.
Whether there is any connection between Brian's imperial title and Domnall's presence at Clontarf is uncertain, although it could account for the Scottish presence at the battle, and may be evidence that Domnall recognised Brian's authority.
As such, the record of Domnall at Clontarf could be evidence that a Scottish faction, with designs upon the kingship of Alba, aligned itself with Brian and recognised his overlordship in pursuit of its royal ambitions.
There is reason to suspect that his rule was challenged by Clann Ruaidrí, the family that held the mormaership of Moray.
During his reign, for example, two members of this kindred—Findláech mac Ruaidrí and Máel Coluim mac Maíl Brígte—are styled as kings by certain Irish sources in records of their deaths.
Although it is possible that the Moravians launched their bid for the kingship immediately after Máel Coluim's violent accession, they could have capitalised upon any event between Cináed's death and the notice of Findláech's royal title in 1020.
Even though Máel Coluim was not a combatant at Clontarf, and the battle had no direct bearing on his kingship, there is evidence to indicate that several associates of his may have been involved.
The customary allegiance of the people of Mar is unknown, and it is uncertain whether Domnall's part in the fray is evidence that Brian was aligned with Máel Coluim or Findláech.
Whilst it is possible that Domnall was lending assistance to Brian on behalf of Máel Coluim—or that Máel Coluim was at least aware of Domnall's alliance and allowed him to campaign overseas—another possibility is that Domnall's actions were undertaken independently of Máel Coluim, and that Domnall did so in the context of settling a private score with Sigurðr.
In fact, Máel Coluim could well have been wary of the ambitions of the Uí Ímair and Orcadians, and it is possible that he decided to remain a neutral player in their struggle against Brian.
The evidence that Máel Coluim's mother was a Leinsterwoman, and that Sigurðr was his son-in-law, suggest that Máel Coluim may have been inclined to side with Sitriuc and Sigurðr against Brian.
It may be that Domnall's support of Brian stemmed from these close ties of kinship between Máel Coluim and Sigurðr, and that Domnall's presence at Clontarf was a reaction to the threat of this alliance.
The fact that Domnall risked—and lost—his life to support Brian's cause could be evidence that Domnall was indeed opposed to Sigurðr and Máel Coluim.
The threat of this Orcadian ascendance could have spurned Máel Coluim to counter Sigurðr by sending Domnall overseas to assist Brian.
If Domnall indeed campaigned on Máel Coluim's behalf, and if Máel Coluim was indeed descended from a Leinsterwoman, another possibility is that Máel Coluim's Leinster kinsmen were rivals of Máel Mórda.
Playing at same level in the 1985–86 season with RFK Novi Sad where he menaged to score 6 goals in 22 appearances that called the attention of local powerhouse fK Vojvodina which brought him and made him contribute in the extraordinary Yugoslav First League championship winning squad in 1988–89 season.
Althought he played more as a back-up role, he made 4 league appearances, and the title provided him enough prestige to open way to offers from abroad.
Muhić opted for Swedish side BK Forward, where, as the club name suggests, he was given offesinve tasks, scoring 15 goals in one season, quite an archivement for a midfielder.
In 1992, he signed with more notorious Östers IF, but, after failing to get to starting eleven, he accepted a move to Degerfors IF, which proved to be a great decition as he menaged to display his talent by scoring 6 goals out of 18 appearances.
Presquile Plantation was a plantation located in southeastern Chesterfield County, Virginia built in the mid 18th century probably by Richard Randolph II of Curles, a grandson of William Randolph the Immigrant.
Richard Randolph most likely built the house at Presquile for his son David Meade Randolph, the husband of the esteemed Mary Randolph.
Unfortunately, the couple did not live at Presquile for long, as the land surrounding it was extremely swampy and did not promote good health.
Igor Sinyavin (Russian: Игорь Синявин; October 10, 1937 - February 15, 2000) was a Soviet Nonconformist painter, writer and ideologist of Russian neopaganism and Russian nationalism.His artistic and written work provides insight into Soviet censorship and struggle for artistic independence.
He studied at the Military Topographic College, the Leningrad State University, later at the Faculty of History at the Department of Art History, but did not graduate.
He began to independently engage in drawing and painting in 1969, and participated in apartment exhibitions where he discussed the problems of contemporary art.
He presented his art at the Bulldozer Exhibition (September 15, 1974), an unofficial exhibition that ended with several arrests and the destruction of the participants' art.
Since the Bulldozer Exhibition aroused international news coverage and strong public disapproval, and Soviet authorities reluctantly agreed to allow two nonconformist exhibitions.
Becoming a prominent member of the Soviet non-conformist art scene, he was on the organizing committee and presented his works in the first Soviet permitted non-conformist exhibitions in the Izmailovsky Park in Moscow (September 29, 1974) and in Leningrad (December 22-25, 1974).
This collage of names along with the high attendance demonstrated the public's support for the nonconformist movement and angered the Soviet authorities.On December 15, 1975, Sinyavin, along with other nonconformist artists and poets, staged a poetry-reading on the Senate Square to commemorate the sesquicentennial of the Decembrists' uprising.
The KGB pressured Sinyavin to emigrate in 1976, and he left for Vienna on his way to New York, United States.
While the Soviet Union only permitted art that pertained Socialist Realism and glorified communist values, his art focused on geometric shapes and patterns.
King Henry I of Germany recognized his election and, on 4 November 926, confirmed his abbey's immunity from taxation and the local court, its right to freely elect its own abbot and its right of inquisition over its dependencies.

Ints M. Siliņš (March 25, 1942 Riga, Latvia-) was a Career Foreign Service Officer who served first as Chargé d’Affaires ad interim to Latvia beginning service October 2, 1991 and Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Latvia until July 14, 1995.
In 1944, at age two, Silins and his mother escaped from Latvia and ended up in a Displaced persons camp in the American Zone of Germany.
His father was later captured by the Red Army and sent to a Soviet death camp in Siberia, where he later died.
In 1987 he was named Deputy Director for Bilateral Relations in the Office of Soviet Affairs in Washington, and served as Consul General for the US Mission in Strasbourg prior to his assignment in Latvia.
In his role in the Office of Soviet Affairs, he testified before Congress about backlogs in Soviet refugee claims to the United States.
On February 10, 1992, President George H. W. Bush nominated Silins as United States Ambassador to Latvia, a role that Silins had taken on as a Chargé d’Affaires in 1991.
In 1995, at the end of his time as Ambassador to Latvia, he was awarded the Order of the Three Stars, Latvia's highest civilian honor.
The Royal Canadian Air Force Academy (RCAFA) is a Canadian Forces training establishment for officers who serve with units of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
The RCAFA consists of more than 1,800 students who led by an administrative team consisting of 43 regular force and reservist officers.
In the early 1990s, the Canadian Forces Air Command became interested in establishing educational facilities to enhance its effectiveness in commisioning officers.
As a result, three Junior Leadership schools based in Summerside, Prince Edward Island and Penhold, Alberta were closed and reassigned to the Air Command Professional Development and Training Centre (ACPDTC) in Borden, Ontario.
In addition, the Air Force Indoctrination School Detachment in St-Jean, Quebec, as well as the Canadian Forces School of Air Reserve Training in Penhold also saw their cadets move to Borden.
The Lord Nelson Ground was a football ground and the home of Millwall Rovers Football Club from 1886–1890, the team who went on to become Millwall.
Millwall Rovers were playing on Glengall Road, and due to their success and the enthusiasm of its' members decided to find a more suitable enclosure for games to be played on.
Millwall rented the land from a Mrs Lydia McMahon, and she received a better offer for it forcing Millwall to be evicted in 1890.
The game helped raise £113 9s in funds for The Athletic Grounds, Millwall's new stadium which they would move into in September of 1890.
The ship became famous when it was torpedoed early in World War I off the West Coast of the United States off Coos Bay, Oregon at 43.38 N –124.48 W at 7:00am.
Scherick had formed this company after leaving CBS when the network would not make him the head of sports programming, choosing instead Bill MacPhail, a former baseball public-relations agent.
Before ABC Sports even became a formal division of the network, Scherick and ABC programming chief Tom Moore pulled off many programming deals involving the most popular American sporting events.
Several months before ABC began broadcasting NCAA college football games, Arledge sent Scherick a remarkable memo, filled with youthful exuberance, and television production concepts which sports broadcasts have adhered to since.
The genius of Arledge in this memo was not that he offered another way to broadcast the game to the sports fan.
At age 29 on September 17, 1960 he put his vision into reality with ABC's first NCAA college football broadcast from Birmingham, Alabama, between Alabama Crimson Tide and the Georgia Bulldogs won by Alabama, 21–6.
That same year, ABC began broadcasting games in the fledgling American Football League and used the same innovative techniques in their broadcasts.
Harry Wismer provided commentary for the game in 1948 game and the game in 1955 joined by Red Grange and Joe Hasel.
Since the game was played in Los Angeles, there was no network telecast of the 1951 NFL Championship Game because at that time there was no way to send live TV programs from the West Coast to the East Coast and vice versa.
In ABC's final year of their initial go around with the National Football League, they added Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers games (for the Pacific Time Zone affiliates) to go along with their coverage of the Bears and Cardinals.
Wire accounts found in newspaperarchive.com indicated that the Washington-Philadelphia game in Week 2 of the 1953 season, was to have been regionally televised by ABC, but the cables needed for the telecast never arrived.
ABC's relationship with the NFL at this point pretty much ended when CBS began carrying regular season games across its network nationwide in 1956.
The deal called for ABC to broadcast approximately 37 regular season games, the AFL Championship Game and the AFL All-Star Game.
This became the first ever cooperative television plan for professional football, in which the proceeds of the contract were divided equally among member clubs; the National Football League would follow suit in 1961, a move that required Congress to pass the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 to accommodate such collective broadcasting contracts.
In April 1953, Edgar Scherick set out to sell teams rights but instead, only got the Philadelphia Athletics, Cleveland Indians, and Chicago White Sox to sign on.
In the rest of the United States, 3 in 4 TV sets in use watched Dizzy Dean and Buddy Blattner (or backup announcers Bill McColgan and Bob Finnegan) call the games for ABC.
In , ABC broadcast the best-of-three playoff series (to decide the National League pennant) between the Milwaukee Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers.
In February 1960, Scherick sold Sports Programs to the American Broadcasting Company for $500,000 in ABC stock, where it became ABC Sports, the sports division of the network.
Despite the production values he brought to NCAA college football, Scherick wanted low-budget (as in inexpensive broadcasting rights) sports programming that could attract and retain an audience.
So in January 1961, Scherick called Arledge into his office, and asked him to attend the annual AAU board of governors meeting.
The two persuaded enough sponsors to advertise, though it took them to the last day of a deadline imposed by ABC programming to do it.
By exploiting the speed of jet transportation and flexibility of videotape, Scherick was able to undercut NBC and CBS's advantages in broadcasting live sporting events.
In that era, with communications nowhere near as universal as they are today, ABC was able to safely record events on videotape for later broadcast without worrying about an audience finding out the results.
Arledge, his colleague Chuck Howard, and Jim McKay (who left CBS for this opportunity) made up the show on a week-by-week basis the first year it was broadcast.
McKay's honest curiosity and reporter's bluntness gave the show an emotional appeal which attracted viewers who might not otherwise watch a sporting event.
Arledge did not gain a formal title as president of ABC Sports until 1968, even though Scherick left his position to assume a position of vice president for programming at ABC in 1964.
On June 9, 1960, the league signed a five-year television contract with ABC, which brought in revenues of approximately $2,125,000 per year for the entire league.
The deal called for ABC to broadcast approximately 37 regular season games, the AFL Championship Game and the AFL All-Star Game.
This became the first ever cooperative television plan for professional football, in which the proceeds of the contract were divided equally among member clubs; the National Football League would follow suit in 1961, a move that required Congress to pass the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 to accommodate such collective broadcasting contracts.
ABC would broadcast AFL games from the league's very first season in 1960 until the 1964 season, when NBC took over as the league's primary network television broadcaster.
So if the Giants and Dodgers were both the road at the same time, ABC still would be able to show a late game.
ABC's deal covered all of the teams except the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies (who had their own television deals) and called for two regionalized games on Saturdays, Independence Day, and Labor Day.
At the end of the season, ABC declined to exercise its $6.5 million option for , citing poor ratings, especially in New York.
Therefore, ABC could show the Cubs vs. the Cardinals in the New York market, yet the Mets would still kill them in terms of viewership.
Also on the network's announcing team were pregame host Howard Cosell and color commentators Leo Durocher, Tommy Henrich, Warren Spahn (who worked with Chris Schenkel on a July 17 Baltimore-Detroit contest), and Hall of Fame Brooklyn Dodger great Jackie Robinson (who, on April 17, 1965, became the first black network broadcaster for Major League Baseball).
On December 15, 1973, ABC aired what is considered to be the first telecast of a regular season college basketball game by a major broadcast network (between UCLA and North Carolina State in St. Louis).
ABC (which had recently lost the NBA rights to CBS) televised this game using its former NBA announcing crew of Keith Jackson and Bill Russell.
Chesley (who controlled the rights to the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) at the time) wanted NBC to televise select ACC games as part of its national package as it had done the previous few years.
The game, called by Jim Lampley and Bill Russell, marked the first time Duke University's Blue Devils basketball team played on national television.
Prior to the debut of the PBA on ABC television in 1962, most tournaments were organized where, once the cut was established after qualifying rounds, a set number of match-play games were bowled, and bonus pins were given to the winner of each match.
The televised finals would be cut to the top four bowlers after match-play, and then three round-robin matches between the fourth, third and second-seeded bowlers would determine the final two bowlers.
If any bowler were to win both of his matches in the round-robin, he would go on to face the tournament leader.
If the three bowlers each split their matches to go 1 and 1 in the round-robin, total pinfall would decide which man would advance to the final match to face the tournament leader.
The search for his replacement included bowling legends Dick Weber and Dave Davis, but it was the young Nelson Burton Jr. who was ultimately selected for the analyst job in 1975.
Meanwhile, ABC first signed a deal with the National Basketball Association to become the league's primary television partner in 1964; the network's first game telecast aired on January 3, 1965 (a game between the Boston Celtics and Cincinnati Royals).
This meant that ABC did not have to televise a potential NBA Finals deciding game if it were played on a weeknight.
The following season, ABC aired the 1970 NBA Finals in its entirety, making it the first Finals series to have all games televised nationally.
To put things into proper perspective, in 1969, Major League Baseball's television contract with NBC was worth $16.5 million while the National Football League cost CBS about $22 million.
What that meant is that ABC had made a bargain in purchasing the television rights to the NBA, considering the league's steady ratings.
To give you a better idea, ABC's ratings for the NBA rose from a 6.0 in 1965 to an 8.2 in 1968.
ABC was by this time, coming increasingly under fire for what perceived to be a less than spectacular presentation of the NBA.
Deford felt that ABC was making a mistake in trying to cover the NBA the same way that they covered a football game, because they were two different games.
On that end, Deford wrote that neither ABC's announcers nor cameras were able to isolate the important phases of the game.
Meanwhile, Deford also criticized play-by-play man Chris Schenkel his failure to appreciate the nuances of the game and their halftime shows, which Deford saw not innovative or imaginative.
ABC lost the broadcast rights to the NBA to CBS after the 1972–73 season, with the network's initial tenure with the league ending with its last NBA Finals game on May 10, 1973.
The show has its roots in a 20-minute segment depicting Curt Gowdy and Joe Brooks fly fishing in the Andes Mountains in Argentina in 1964.
ABC would present filmed highlights involving the program's hosts and celebrities participating in hunting and/or fishing trips along with outdoor recreational activities such as whitewater kayaking, hang gliding and free climbing.
This was essentially the television plan that stayed in place until the University of Oklahoma and the University of Georgia filed a lawsuit against the NCAA in 1981, alleging antitrust violations.
ABC announced the entire 1966 TV schedule in June with 8 national games and 24 regional games for a total of 15 broadcast windows.
In 1966, the NCAA allowed each school to appear on ABC for at most one national telecast and one regional telecast.
However, ABC got approval from the NCAA to show this game on tape delay in the late timeslot in the regions of the country which got Kentucky-Tennessee in the early timeslot.
However, there was an NABET strike of engineers and technicians which AFTRA was supporting and this duo (members of AFTRA) refused to work the game.
While CBS aired both the 1960 Winter and Summer Games (marking the first time that the Olympics were broadcast on American television), by 1964, a different network showed the Winter Games: ABC.
The 1964 Winter Games were in Innsbruck, Austria, and coverage was taped and flown by plane back to the United States.
All of it was in black-and-white, but with most Winter Olympic events in the morning (local time), most TV coverage aired the day the events were held.
A portion of the Closing Ceremony was televised live via satellite (Telstar, which had to be tracked and allowed about a 15-minute window between the U.S. and Europe when it was zooming over the Atlantic).
If a flight was canceled, ABC had a tape of a U.S.-Romania hockey game, played the day before the Opening Ceremony and shipped over, ready to play.
By 1968, ABC was broadcasting the Olympics in full color, and satellites made possible live coverage of several events at the Winter Games in Grenoble, France and of nearly all of the network's coverage of the Summer Games in Mexico City.
In reality, only the Opening Ceremony and the ladies figure skating final were televised live via satellite; most other coverage was satellited to ABC and run off tape from New York.
The 1968 Winter Olympics were the first to be televised in color (except for a couple of events the French fed in black-and-white).
Highlighting the 1968 Winter Games was a dramatic sweep in men's alpine skiing by Frenchman Jean-Claude Killy, while the major highlight of the Summer Games was a world-record long jump by Bob Beamon of the United States, which happened to air live in the US.
An early bid by the league in 1964 to play on Friday nights was soundly defeated, with critics charging that such telecasts would damage the attendance at high school football games.
Undaunted, Rozelle decided to experiment with the concept of playing on Monday night, scheduling the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions for a game on September 28, 1964.
While the game was not televised, it drew a sellout crowd of 59,203 spectators to Tiger Stadium, the largest crowd ever to watch a professional football game in Detroit up to that point.
Two years later, Rozelle would build on this success as the NFL began a four-year experiment of playing on Monday night, scheduling one game in prime time on CBS during the 1966 and 1967 seasons, and two contests during each of the next two years.
During subsequent negotiations on a new television contract that would begin in 1970 (coinciding with a merger between the NFL and AFL), Rozelle concentrated on signing a weekly Monday night deal with one of the three major networks.
Despite the network's status at the time as the lowest-rated of the three major broadcast networks, ABC was also reluctant to enter the risky venture.
It was only after Rozelle used the threat of signing a deal with the independent Hughes Sports Network, an entity bankrolled by reclusive businessman Howard Hughes, did ABC sign a contract for the scheduled games.
Speculation was that had Rozelle signed with Hughes, many ABC affiliates would have pre-empted the network's Monday lineup in favor of the games, severely damaging potential ratings.
Arledge also ordered twice the usual number of cameras to cover the game, expanded the regular two-man broadcasting booth to three, and used extensive graphic design within the show as well as instant replay.
Looking for a lightning rod to garner attention, Arledge hired controversial New York City sportscaster Howard Cosell as a commentator, along with veteran football play-by-play announcer Keith Jackson.
Jack Buck was also considered, but when Arledge assistant Chuck Howard telephoned Buck with the job offer, Buck refused to respond due to anger at his treatment by ABC during an earlier stint with the network.
Arledge's original choice for the third member of the trio, Frank Gifford, was unavailable since he was still under contract to CBS Sports.
However, Gifford suggested former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Don Meredith, setting the stage for years of fireworks between the often-pompous Cosell and the laid-back Meredith.
Advertisers were charged US$65,000 per minute by ABC during the clash, a cost that proved to be a bargain when the contest collected 33% of the viewing audience.
The Browns defeated the Jets, 31-21 in a game which featured a 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by the Browns' Homer Jones to open the second half, and was punctuated when Billy Andrews intercepted Joe Namath late in the fourth quarter and returned it 25 yards for the clinching touchdown.
However, Cleveland viewers saw different programming on WEWS-TV, because of the NFL's blackout rules of the time (this would apply for all games through the end of the 1972 season; beginning in 1973, home games could be televised if tickets were sold out 72 hours before kickoff).
In 1971, Frank Gifford became available after his contract with CBS Sports concluded; Arledge brought him to ABC to serve as play-by-play announcer, replacing Jackson (who returned to broadcasting college football for the network, which he continued to do for the next 35 seasons).
In 1972, NBC showed the Winter Games from Sapporo, Japan, then ABC returned to carry the Summer Games in Munich, Germany.
Although Chris Schenkel was the actual host of the Games that year, Arledge assigned the story to McKay largely because he was a local news anchor in Baltimore, Maryland prior to joining CBS (and later ABC).
McKay was joined on set by ABC news correspondent (and former and future evening news anchor) Peter Jennings, and coverage continued for many hours, until the outcome was known.
By the time the 1976 edition of the Winter Games came around, McKay was now installed at the host, a role he would play throughout the 1970s and '80s.
Brief taped highlights of the start and early segments were shown, then ABC joined the race live already in progress, picking up approximately the last 90 minutes of the race.
The 1976 race was held on the same day of the final day of competition in the Winter Olympics (also broadcast on ABC).
ABC carried 30 minutes of live coverage of the start of the race, then switched to the Olympics for 90 minutes to carry taped coverage of the final two competitive events (a cross-country ski race and the final runs in the bobsled), held earlier that day.
The last of its 265 Cup telecasts (that number includes some on ABC Sports) was the 2000 Atlanta fall race (now the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500).
ABC often had only one or two games to pick from for each telecast from a schedule designed by Major League Baseball.
While trying to give all of the teams national exposure, ABC ended up with far too many games between sub .500 clubs from small markets.
Prince disclosed to his broadcasting partner Jim Woods about his early worries about calling a network series for the first time.
Prince for one, didn't have as much creative control over the broadcasts on ABC as he did calling Pittsburgh Pirates games on KDKA radio.
ABC's coverage for such things as its camera work (they often followed fly balls like they did golf shots, keeping the focus on the ball) and its choice of announcers: Bob Prince was accused of a National League bias, while Bob Uecker was considered to be just a Don Meredith clone.
Bob Prince was gone by the fall of 1976, with Keith Jackson, Howard Cosell, and guest analyst Reggie Jackson calling that year's American League Championship Series.
MLB commissioner Bowie Kuhn strongly objected to ABC's recruitment of Howard Cosell because of comments by Cosell in recent years about how dull baseball had become.
But Roone Arledge held the trump card as the contract he had signed with Major League Baseball gave ABC the final say over announcers.
In 1979, ABC Sports began covering the NASL in a deal that called for 9 telecasts of league games, including the playoffs and Soccer Bowl.
The deal with ABC to broadcast NASL matches was also lost in 1980, and the 1981 Soccer Bowl was only shown on tape delay.
The United States team, made up of amateur and collegiate players and led by coach Herb Brooks, defeated the Soviet team, which consisted of veteran professional players with significant experience in international play.
The rest of the United States (except those who watched the game live on Canadian television) had to wait to see the game, as ABC decided to broadcast the late-afternoon game on tape delay in prime time.
During the broadcast wrap-up after the game, ABC Olympic sports anchor Jim McKay compared the American victory over the Soviet professionals to a group of Canadian college football players defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers (the recent Super Bowl champions and at the height of their dynasty).
On the evening of December 8, 1980, English musician John Lennon, formerly of the Beatles, was fatally shot in the archway of the Dakota, his residence in New York City.
As the Patriots tried to put themselves in position for a field goal, Arledge informed Frank Gifford and Howard Cosell of the shooting and suggested that they be the ones to report on the murder.
He made news and covered topics that were not part of general sports coverage - including the first story about drugs in professional sports (the story of former Minnesota Viking Carl Eller's cocaine use), an in-depth look at how NFL owners negotiated tax breaks and incentives for building new stadiums, and together with Arthur Ashe, an investigation into apartheid and sports.
Though ratings were low, Cosell and his staff earned three Emmy Awards for excellence in reporting, and broke new ground in sports journalism.
To produce this pioneering program, Cosell recruited a number of employees from outside the ranks of those that produced games, who he felt might be too invested in the success of the athletes and leagues to look at the hard news.
She took her junior year off to join Cosell's staff at ABC Headquarters in New York City, and produced many segments, including in 1983 a half-hour special report previewing the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Despite the games being one of ABC's biggest investments, with a record-breaking 225 million dollar rights fee at the time, the 30-minute documentary-style program produced by Denny showed many sides of the questions about the viability of the Games themselves - from concerns about traffic, pollution and terrorism, to a look at how the sponsorship deals were structured.
In 1975, Jim McKay and Dave Marr became the lead broadcast team, while Bob Rosburg joined the network as the first ever on-course reporter, and Peter Alliss joined as a co-anchor.
The broadcast operated using anchor teams, in which an anchor and an analyst would call all of the action from the tower at the 18th hole, and the teams would be rotated on coverage after about a half-hour.
Meanwhile, the three on-course reporters, which included Judy Rankin and Ed Sneed in addition to Rosburg, would be utilized when prompted by the anchor team.
After his 1986 Masters win, Jack Nicklaus would appear on ABC after the end of his round and served as an analyst for the rest of the telecast.
The Los Angeles Express and New Jersey Generals played in the primary regional televised USFL game, with the Express winning, 20-15.
The coverage was nonetheless quite low for a Big Three television network, with a June 17 prime-time regular season game between Chicago and Birmingham finishing as the lowest-rated prime time broadcast of the week, with a 4.8 rating.
By this point, the league had driven out most of the owners who would have been willing to accept those terms.
The owners in the league walked away from what averaged out to $67 million per year starting in 1986 to pursue their big picture—merger with the NFL.
In June 1984, a US Supreme Court ruling ended the control that the NCAA had exercised on televised college football and allowed individual colleges to make their own TV deals.
CBS obtained rights to Big 10 and Pac 10 home games while ABC obtained rights to the College Football Association (essentially home games for all schools other than the B10 and P10).
CBS and ABC typically carried only 1-2 games per time slot rather than the frequent large slates of regional games in prior years.
Cosell noted that Garrett's small stature, and not his race, was the basis for his comment, citing the fact that he had used the term to describe his grandchildren.
Coincidentally, he was replaced for the 1985 World Series broadcast by Tim McCarver, himself a former baseball player, to join Al Michaels and Jim Palmer.
As a result of the 1982 television contract signed by the NFL with the three networks, this game was the first Super Bowl to be televised in the United States by ABC, as they earned their first turn at the Super Bowl, with a new alternation process started for the 1983 game.
Frank Gifford was the play-by-play announcer, while then-ABC Sports analyst Don Meredith and then-Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann served as color commentators.
Al Michaels and Jim Lampley hosted the pregame (2 hours), halftime, and postgame (Lampley presided over the Vince Lombardi Trophy presentation ceremony) coverage for ABC.
Also helping out with ABC's coverage were Jack Whitaker, Dick Schaap, Donna de Varona, Ray Gandolf, and ABC News reporters Stone Phillips, Jeff Greenfield, Judd Rose, and Bill Redeker.
This would be the only ABC Super Bowl for Gifford as play-by-play announcer, the final game for Don Meredith and the second (and last) time a commentator for the Super Bowl (Theismann) was an active player (Jack Kemp in Super Bowl II was the only other active player to provide commentary).
Later telecasts included live introductions at the top and bottom of the broadcast, with the closing segment sometimes an interview with the race winner, which by that time, had been revealed to the viewers.
During this period, the announcers' commentary at both the start and finish of the race were recorded as those events transpired.
However, the commentary of the middle parts of the race was semi-scripted, and recorded in post-production, and edited into the broadcast as it was being aired.
In the Indianapolis market, as well as other parts of Indiana, the live telecast is blacked out and shown tape delayed to encourage live attendance.
On March 21, 2018, NBC Sports announced that it had acquired the television rights to the IndyCar Series (after previously serving as cable rightsholder through NBCSN or CNBC for races not aired by ABC), replacing the package of races on ABC with a package of eight races on NBC, including the Indianapolis 500 (ending ABC's 54-year tenure as broadcaster of the event).
CBS Sports, which showed the other two races, had much lower ratings for them, with the possible exceptions of years in which the Crown was at stake like 1973, 1977, and 1978.
Also in 1986, when Al Michaels became unavailable because he was calling Major League Baseball's League Championship Series, Frank Gifford moved up into the play-by-play spot while Lynn Swann or O.J.
Gifford would once again call the play-by-play when Michaels was busy calling the World Series in 1987 and 1989 and the National League Championship Series in 1988.
In 1987, Gifford and Michaels were joined by Dan Dierdorf, returning the series to its original concept of three announcers in the booth.
By 1991 (around the time NBC was phasing out their own college basketball coverage), ABC ramped up its basketball coverage in an effort to fill the void.
As a result, the network also started to cover games focusing on teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and Southeastern Conference (SEC).
Otherwise, it was essentially, a considerable hodge-podge with an ACC game one week, or a Pac-10 or Big 10 game the next.
The games that were broadcast were a hodge-podge of conference matchups even after the ESPN on ABC brand change, with SEC and Big East match-ups occasionally being shown alongside frequent ACC, Big 12 and Pac-10 match-ups.
ABC's early regular season broadcasts were, for the most part, technically time buys from organizations such as Raycom (particularly, around 1990–91) or sister network ESPN.
This in return, was a way to avoid union contracts which require that 100% of network shows had to use crew staff who were network union members.
In the 1987–88 season, ABC did not air any college basketball games during the last three weekends of February due to the network's coverage of the Winter Olympics.
As previously mentioned, coverage by ABC steadily increased during the early 1990s; by the 1991–92 season, ABC was carrying regional games in many timeslots on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
The Calgary Winter Olympics were the first winter games to earn a significant television revenue base; where the 1980 Lake Placid Games generated only US$20.7 million worldwide, OCO'88 generated $324.9 million in broadcast rights.
The overwhelming majority of television revenues came from the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), which agreed in 1984 to pay $309 million for American television rights, over three times the $91.5 million it paid for the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo.
The deal, at the time the highest amount ever paid for a sporting event, allowed organizers to announce the Games would be debt-free.
Premier events, including ice hockey and figure skating, were scheduled for prime time and the Games were lengthened to 16 days from the previous 12 to ensure three weekends of coverage.
ABC lost an estimated $60 million, and broadcast rights to the 1992 Winter Olympics were later sold to the CBS network for $243 million, a 20% reduction compared to Calgary.
The network, at the insistence of new owner Capital Cities Communications (much to the chagrin of Roone Arledge's successor at ABC Sports, Dennis Swanson), opted not to bid for the rights to show any future Games.
Subsequently, The Walt Disney Company acquired Capital Cities-ABC in 1995 and began the process of putting more effort into the branding of ABC's sports channel ESPN than of ABC Sports itself.
After ABC lost the Major League Baseball package to CBS, they aggressively counterprogrammed CBS' postseason baseball coverage (like NBC) with made-for-TV movies and miniseries geared towards female viewers.
Game 3 of the 1989 World Series (initially scheduled for October 17) was delayed by ten days due to the Loma Prieta earthquake.
Michaels had to pickup a POTS phone in the press booth (phones work off a separate power supply) and call ABC headquarters in New York, at which point they put him back on the air.
ABC's play-by-play man, Al Michaels (who was familiar with the San Francisco Bay Area dating back to his days working for the San Francisco Giants from 1974-1976) then proceeded to relay reports to Ted Koppel at ABC News' headquarters in Washington, D.C. Al Michaels was ultimately nominated for an Emmy for his on-site reporting at the World Series.
In 1991, ABC acquired the rights to the CFA from CBS in addition to the B10/P10 and went back to televising several regional games in many timeslots.
1992 was the first year that ABC made most of its regional games available via pay-per-view (similar to what became known as ESPN GamePlan).
In 2005, the network lost rights to most of the BCS games, including the BCS National Championship Game, to Fox beginning with the 2006-07 series, in a deal worth close to $20 million per game.
Although due to a separate arrangement with the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association, ABC retained the broadcast rights to events in the series that were held at the Rose Bowl stadium, such as the Rose Bowl Game and the 2010 BCS Championship.
Keith Jackson, who was supposed to retire after the 1998 season, stayed with the network until 2005, in which he announced games televised primarily from the West Coast, where he was based; Jackson's last broadcast with the network was the 2006 Rose Bowl.
In 1999, as Jackson reduced his schedule, ABC began the year with the team of Jackson and Bob Griese intact – albeit not as the lead announcing team, as they almost exclusively handled action from Pac-10 Conference teams; Brent Musburger and Dan Fouts returned, as did the longtime tandem of Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson.
In 1992, ABC announced plans to counterprogram the Winter Olympics on CBS with boxing, a sport at that point, seldom seen on network television.
ABC proceeded to forgo the typical $300,000 rights fees of the prior year, and instead, set a $75,000 limit and scheduled three consecutive Saturdays of action.
After a four-year-long hiatus (when CBS exclusively carried the over-the-air Major League Baseball television rights), ABC returned to baseball in (again, alongside NBC) .
Under a six-year plan, Major League Baseball was intended to receive 85% of the first $140 million in advertising revenue (or 87.5% of advertising revenues and corporate sponsorship from the games until sales top a specified level), 50% of the next $30 million, and 80% of any additional money.
Prior to this, Major League Baseball was projected to take a projected 55% cut in rights fees and receive a typical rights fee from the networks.
After NBC was finished with their post-1994 All-Star Game six-week baseball coverage, ABC (with a reunited Al Michaels, Tim McCarver, and Jim Palmer as the primary crew) then picked up where NBC left off by televising six more regular season games.
Joining the team of Michaels, McCarver, and Palmer was Lesley Visser, who served as the lead field reporter for the CBS' baseball coverage from 1990-1993.
In even-numbered years, NBC had the rights to the All-Star Game and both League Championship Series while ABC had the World Series and newly created Division Series.
The long term plans for The Baseball Network crumbled when the players went on strike on August 12, 1994 (thus forcing the cancellation of the World Series).
In July 1995, ABC and NBC, who wound up having to share the duties of televising the 1995 World Series as a way to recoup (with ABC broadcasting Games 1, 4, and 5 and NBC broadcasting Games 2, 3, and 6), announced that they were opting out of their agreement with Major League Baseball.
Both networks figured that as the delayed baseball season opened without a labor agreement, there was no guarantee against another strike.
The reported cost of the contracts varied – the L.A. Times said that ABC had paid $28m for two years, and USA $25m.
The ABC coverage's average ratings fell from 1991 to 1992, from around 2.1 to 1.7, and USA's from 1.2 to 1.1.
Major League Soccer with ESPN and ABC Sports announced the league's first television rights deal on March 15, 1994, without any players, coaches, or teams in place.
The three-year agreement covered English-language broadcasting for the 1996–1998 seasons, and committed 10 games on ESPN, 25 on ESPN2, and the MLS Cup on ABC.
During this period, ABC acquired the rights to several non-major PGA Tour events, mostly important events such as The Memorial Tournament and The Tour Championship.
In 1992, Brent Musburger, who had been heavily criticized for his hosting of golf coverage while with CBS, took over as host.
Marr was dismissed from the network, while Twibell was reassigned to ESPN's golf coverage, although he occasionally hosted on ABC for a few lower-level tournaments.
Beyond the team in the booth, all of ABC's other voices were on the course, including Rankin, Rosburg and newcomer Mark Rolfing.
After facing much criticism for its golf coverage, especially Jack Nicklaus' involvement and Musburger's perceived lack of knowledge of the game, ABC decided to completely overhaul its visual presentation, becoming more in line with cable partner ESPN, while changing the format for its coverage to be more of the standard in line with the other networks, featuring a lead anchor team, announcers assigned to individual holes, and on-course reporters.
Steve Melnyk, Peter Alliss and Ian Baker-Finch became hole announcers, while Bob Rosburg, Judy Rankin and Rolfing were the primary on-course reporters.
ABC continued its renewed commitment to golf when it reached a new television contract in 1999 in which the network gained the broadcast rights to many events, including the entire fall PGA Tour season and two of the new World Golf Championships events.
ABC partnered with ESPN on much of its coverage, with ESPN carrying the early rounds of tournament events that ABC broadcast, in addition to those that were part of the cable channel's own schedule; the ABC team would work the cable telecasts in these cases.
Monday Night Golf proved to be an initial success, drawing more viewers than the final round of the U.S. Open, and being second only to the final round of the Masters Tournament in terms of golf broadcasts.
Ratings increased significantly for the second match, but they declined rapidly after that, and the event was initially cancelled after the 2005 edition, with Woods also wishing to take a break from the event.
Although the Professional Bowlers Tour maintained high ratings throughout most of its years, ABC (which was transitioning to new management after being purchased by The Walt Disney Company in 1996) opted against renewing its contract with the PBA primarily due to the overall decline of the sport in the late 1980s and 1990s.
This was partially attributed to the explosion of sports viewing choices in the 1990s, especially on cable television, the lack of any one bowling star to follow, and an aging audience for televised bowling.
It was a very emotional broadcast in which Williams Jr. and Pete Weber, the game's two giants at the time, battled it out until the very end.
Despite leaving the booth, Frank Gifford stayed on one more year as a special contributor to the pre-game show, usually presenting a single segment.
In the and seasons, ABC televised six weekly regional telecasts on Sunday afternoons beginning in March (or the last three Sundays of the regular season).
This marked the first time that regular season National Hockey League games were broadcast on American network television since (when NBC was the NHL's American broadcast television partner).
The network did not televise the Stanley Cup Finals, which instead, were televised nationally by ESPN and by Prime Ticket in Los Angeles () and MSG Network in New York ().
In other words, ABC would sell three-hour blocks of airtime to ESPN, which in return, would produce, supply broadcasters and sell advertising.
In August 1998, ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 signed a five-year television deal with the NHL, worth a total of approximately US$600 million (or $120 million per year).
The $120 million per year that ABC and ESPN paid for rights dwarfed the $5.5 million that the NHL received from American national broadcasts in the 1991–92 season.
Following the 2003–04 season, ESPN was only willing to renew its contract for two additional years at $60 million per year.
ABC refused to televise the Stanley Cup Finals in prime time, suggesting that the Finals games it would telecast be played on weekend afternoons (including a potential Game 7).
Disney executives later conceded that they overpaid for the 1999–2004 deal, so the company's offer to renew the television rights was lower in 2004.
ABC's final boxing card occurred on June 17, 2000 with José Luis Castillo upsetting Stevie Johnston in the lightweight championship bout in Bell Gardens, California.
Seven years after ABC's last boxing card, they were scheduled to broadcast a card from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey on April 22, 2007.
Promoter Joe DeGuardia of Star Boxing had been working on the time buy deal (in other words, DeGuardia was not paid a licensing fee by ABC, but rather bought an hour of time from the network).
The negotiations were closely watched by those in the business world, as it was the first time that a major sports league crafted a television deal in the new economic environment since the September 11 terrorist attacks a few months before.
Declining ratings for NBC's NBA game telecasts had already led many to believe that the NBA's next television rights fee would be lower than previous years, and the economic recession made that a likely scenario.
Had the NBA agreed to the network's offer, it would have been the first sports league to experience a decline in rights fees.
However, the NBA rejected NBC's offer and after the network's exclusive negotiating period with the league expired, ABC and ESPN stepped in.
On January 22, 2002, the NBA signed a six-year deal with The Walt Disney Company and Turner Sports, which renewed an existing deal with TNT and allowed ABC and ESPN to acquire the rights to air the league's games.
In June 2007, and again in October 2014, the NBA renewed its television agreement with ESPN, as well as TNT, with the current contract extending through the 2024–25 season.
The NFL also indicated that it wanted Sunday night to be the new night for its marquee game, because more people tend to watch television on Sundays, and games held on that night would be more conducive to flexible scheduling, a method by which some of the NFL's best games could be moved from the afternoon to the evening on Sunday on short notice.
However, ESPN's ability to collect subscription fees from cable and satellite providers, in addition to selling commercials, made it more likely that ESPN could turn a profit on NFL telecasts, as opposed to ABC's heavy losses.
Patriots linebacker Mike Vrabel set a record of note during that last ABC telecast, becoming the first player to catch two touchdown passes and record a quarterback sack in the same game.
The Nabisco shares were later sold to the Hearst Corporation, which still holds a 20% ownership stake in the channel today.
In May 1985, ABC was purchased by Capital Cities Communications in a $3.5 billion deal that was finalized in February 1986.
In February 1996, The Walt Disney Company purchased Capital Cities/ABC for $19 billion, and assumed the latter company's 80% stake in ESPN at that time.
Despite it technically being a joint venture, for all intents and purposes, ESPN operates as a division of Disney as a result of the company's controlling interest (as it was with ABC and Capital Cities before it).
In August 2006, ESPN announced that ABC Sports would be fully integrated into ESPN, using the channel's graphics and music for its sports presentations, in addition to handling production responsibilities for the ABC sports telecasts.
The last live sporting event televised under the ABC Sports banner was the U.S. Championship Game of the Little League World Series on August 26, 2006 (ABC was slated to carry the Little League World Series Championship Game on August 27, but the game was postponed to August 28 due to rain, and subsequently aired on ESPN2).
The changeover took effect the following weekend to coincide with the start of the college football season, with NBA, IndyCar Series and NASCAR coverage eventually following suit.
In addition, ABC itself maintains the copyright over many of the ESPN-branded broadcasts, if they are not contractually assigned to the applicable league or organizer.
Equally, other Hearst-owned stations affiliated with other networks (such as NBC affiliate WBAL-TV in Baltimore) have been able to air NFL games from ESPN for the same reason.
One such example is NASCAR: from 2007 to 2009, ABC aired all of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup races, along with the penultimate race to the chase.
From 2010 to 2014, ABC only broadcast three Sprint Cup races with only one Chase race (held in Charlotte, North Carolina) to the outrage of many NASCAR fans and sponsors.
Several other events such as the Rose Bowl, the Citrus Bowl and The Open Championship, have also been moved from ABC to ESPN.
This, however, is not entirely the fault of ESPN, as ABC in general has attracted a primarily female viewership in recent years, with sports largely attracting a male-dominated audience.
Also, with the rise of the Internet and 24/7 mobile applications and streaming services specializing in sports news have completely eliminated the need for a traditional anthology sports program airing on broadcast television (including ABC) during weekend afternoons.
It also eliminated the need for a separate Sunday afternoon block on ABC which had seen a long decline until January 2016.
In December 1984 Amoseas sign in contract with Pertamina and PLN, they build up geothermal power stations 330 MW capacity, inside a 56,650 hectare region in Darajat, West Java.

The Red August (), originally meaning the August of 1966 of the Cultural Revolution, is also used to indicate a series of massacres in Beijing which mainly took place during the period.
According to the official statistics in 1980, from August to September in 1966, a total of 1,772 people—including teachers and principals of many schools—were killed in Beijing by Red Guards; in addition, 33,695 homes were ransacked and 85,196 families were forced to leave the city.
The oldest killed during the Daxing Massacre was 80 years old, while the youngest was only 38 days old; 22 families were wiped out.
Scholars have also pointed out that, according to the official statistics in 1985, the actual death toll during the Red August was over 10,000.
On August 18, 1966, Mao Zedong met with Song Binbin, a leader of the Red Guards, on Tiananmen of Beijing, which greatly encouraged the Red Guards who then started their massive killing in the city.
Methods of slaughter during the Red August included beating, whipping, suffocating, trampling, boiling, beheading and so on; in particular, the method used to kill most infants and children were knocking them against the ground or slicing them in halves.
During the massacres, Mao Zedong publicly opposed any government intervention to the student movement, and Xie Fuzhi, the Minister of Ministry of Public Security, also ordered to protect the Red Guards and not arrest them.
However, things had grown out of control by the end of August 1966, forcing the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and Chinese government to take multiple interventions, which gradually brought the massacre to an end.
The Red August of Beijing is regarded as the origin of the Red Terror of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, influencing the Red Guards' movement in multiple cities including Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Xiamen, where local political leaders, intellectuals, teachers and people of Five Black Categories were persecuted and killed by the Red Guards.
The Red August along with the following massacres across China during the Cultural Revolution has also been compared to the Nanjing Massacre made by the Japanese military during the Second Sino-Japanese War.

Clarissa Barros Assed Matheus de Oliveira (born 2 July 1982) more commonly known as Clarissa Garotinho is a Brazilian politician and journalist.
In January 2016 Garotinho announced that she was engaged to businessman Marcos Altive, and that the couple was expecting their first child.
In 2009 due to controversy surrounding alleged partisan infidelity, Garotinho left the Brazilian Democratic Movement and joined the Party of the Republic.
In 2012 the Garotinho and Maia political families joined to form what was considred by the Brazilian media an unexpected alliance to defeat the then mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes, who was running for reelection.
The coalition between the two families and the PR/DEM parties was headed by Rodrigo Maia, son of former Rio mayor Cesar Maia, and had Clarissa as his vice mayoral candidate.
However the campaign was a failure as Eduardo Paes was comfortably reelected with more than 2 million votes or 64% of the balot, while Maia and Garotinho obtained only 95,328 votes (3% of the balot).
Garotinho did not vote in the impeachment of then-president Dilma Rousseff, as she said she was unable to make it due to her pregnancy.
In November 2016 Garotinho was once again expelled from a political party for partisan infidelity, as she was released from the Party of the Republic for collaborating with politicians from a rival faction in the legislature.
Two years later Garotinho as well as her mother Rosinha were expelled from the PRB due to being investigated for corruption.
She has served as a member of the Swiss National Council and has been the leader of the FDP.The Liberals party since 2016.
At the age of 32, she became the council president and served in that role until 2011, when she was elected to the National Council.

From its southern end the Deagon Deviation veers west and then north, skirting the western boundary of the Deagon Racecourse and approaching the Gateway Motorway.
It then runs north-north-west, between the Gateway Motorway and the Deagon Wetlands, until the motorway turns west at the Bracken Ridge Road intersection.
Prior to the opening of the Deagon Deviation in 1979 the route from Deagon to the Houghton Highway was via a series of residential streets defined as part of State Route 27.

The two episodes, originally aired back-to-back on USA Network on December 22, 2019, were both written and directed by series creator Sam Esmail.
Its ending, which had been planned from the script's inception, shows Elliot navigating a utopian version of his world with an alternate Elliot.
He returns to the city, where he encounters Angela's parents, Emily and Phillip (the latter still being in Angela's life), who reveal to him that Elliot is marrying Angela the following day.
He goes to the alternate Elliot's apartment and hacks his computer, discovering a hidden drive of sketches of himself, Darlene, and the rest of fsociety.
The alternate Elliot returns home to find the original Elliot at his computer (as depicted at the end of the previous episode).
Initially alarmed, the alternate Elliot explains that the sketches are of a persona he created that would lead an exciting life as a vigilante hacker, the very life the original Elliot lives.
Alternate Elliot gets a call from Angela; hearing her for the first time since her death, the original Elliot decides that he can have the life he always wanted, and kills the alternate Elliot.
However, this persona decided to take over and trapped the real Elliot in the Utopian world, getting rid of Darlene, who is the real Elliot's strongest connection to reality, and Krista explains that the Mastermind must give control back to the real Elliot, but he refuses as the world collapses.
The Mastermind wakes up in the hospital, where Darlene reveals that Whiterose is dead, her machine is destroyed, and that she knew that the Mastermind had taken over.
Based on the script's length, he decided to expand the film into a television show, but the series' ending remained that which he originally envisioned.
The show's writers forewent the initially planned fifth season after storyboarding the episodes between the third season and the double-episode ending Esmail had planned.
Critics praised what they described as the show's risky and successful choice to reveal Elliot's emotions and relationships at the show's core, as opposed to the austere focus on cybersecurity heists for which the show was best known.
The finale became reassurance that when trying to live meaningfully in a hostile world, it's okay to be different from one's self-image by trying to be the best version of oneself.
Critics thought that the finale handled the last plot twist well without alienating viewers, given how the show had led viewers to sympathize with the on-screen Elliot as the personality who deserved autonomy over his body.
Reviewers underscored how the show had become less about hacking and rebellion than about Elliot's life and relationships (i.e., caring for each other).
The first episode at 9:00 pm ET received 464,000 viewers, while the second episode at 10:00 pm ET dropped to 318,000 viewers.

The Junior Science Olympiad of Canada or JSOC is an examination in science for secondary school students, with one test usually conducted in June and a second test in October.
Organized by Jennifer Pitt-Lainsbury, Marisca Vanderkamp, Maria Niño-Soto, and Andrew Moffat in association with the University of Toronto Schools (UTS), JSOC encompasses material of the grade 12 curriculum for the three sciences.
The Junior Science Olympiad of Canada targets motivated students ages 15 and under intent on exploring science at a higher level.
With curriculum going into grade 11 and 12 science material, the JSOC helps students tackle advanced science and the International Junior Science Olympiad with online supplementary material in biology, chemistry, and physics as well as practical training sessions.
In order to be eligible to attend the JSOC, one must be a Canadian citizen and be 15 years of age or younger as of December 31st of the competition year.
If at any stage the student is found to be not eligible for the exam, they may be disqualified from the program.
Students who wish to compete in the International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO) on Team Canada must qualify for and write both stages of the JSOC examination in the same year of the competition, as well as meet all IJSO eligibility criteria outlined in the statues of the IJSO.
Students who make the final selection for the Canadian IJSO team should participate in a JSOC practical training camp, which will run in the weeks before the competition.
The Stage I exam, which takes place in April, lasts 2 hours and contains a total of 45 multiple choice questions spread evenly among Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
Part 1 is 1.5 hours long and consists of 30 multiple choice questions, 10 in each field, and Part 2 is 2 hours long and is requires full answers to be given, similar to the theoretical portion of the IJSO.
the second stage, it is necessary that a student scores at-least a Minimum Admissible Score (MAS) which is a variable fraction of the maximum score.
The top 10 students or so, drawing from a combination of demonstrated theoretical skills from Stage I of JSOC are then selected to sit for Stage II.
The top 6 students are then selected to participate in the International Junior Science Olympiad, the next (2020) edition of which will be hosted in Frankfurt, Germany.

In basketball, a block (short for blocked shot) occurs when a defender deflects or stops a field goal attempt without committing a foul.
While the NCAA's current three-division format has been in place since the 1973–74 season, the organization did not sponsor women's sports until the 1981–82 school year; before that time, women's college sports were governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW).
Blocks are a relatively new statistic in college basketball, having only become an official statistic in NCAA women's basketball beginning with the 1987–88 season.
All players listed played in four seasons; none were ever redshirted, and none transferred to a second school during their respective careers.

The 3 Million (stylized as: the3million) was established in the United Kingdom as a reaction to the developing Brexit policy landscape in the aftermath of the 2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum.
The organisation's name is a reference to the estimated number of EU citizens who have moved from another member state to live in the United Kingdom.
The3million positions itself as a group which not only represents and advocates on behalf of EU migrants in the United Kingdom, but which is composed of members of this same population.
At a national level, the organisation works with UK politicians on a range of issues related to migration, and has presented evidence to Migration Advisory Committee's inquiry into Freedom of Movement.
On a local level, in collaboration with regional authorities, the3million has provided information events and support for EU migrants affected by the UK's changing relationship with Europe.
In this regard, the3million has been recognised by the Institute for Government for its involvement as a user group which facilitates interface between the UK government and EU citizen stakeholders.
In July 2019, the3million issued a judicial review challenge to the Data Protection Act 2018's ‘immigration exemption’.This was dismissed by the High Court in October 2019, and has been subsequently appealed.
The3million has also taken legal action concerning EU citizens being allegedly denied their voting rights in the UK's May 2019 European Parliament elections.
The organisation receives support and funding from: Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Greater London Authority, International Organization for Migration, The Paul Hamlyn Foundation, NPC, and Unbound.
The organisation is routinely quoted in reference to developments concerning the rights of EU citizens in the UK, particularly regarding the settlement scheme, and has received coverage in Newsweek, Wired, The Independent, Euronews, Huffington Post, and The National, and Business Review.

He walked from the then rail-head at Southern Cross to Coolgardie, prospected in various places, mainly at Mount Margaret, and managed several outback mines and batteries.
He eventually settled in Kalgoorlie, where he became a prominent tributer (a miner who works mines under an agreement with the owner for a proportion of the proceeds) and mining engineer.
In 1921, he was largely responsible for making the tributers' case at a Royal Commission into the practice which resulted in legislative reforms.
In 1931, he co-founded the Eastern Goldfields Tributers Association and became the organisation's secretary, in which capacity, in 1932-33, he was heavily involved in a major legal test case which, after being appealed all the way to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, established tributers' right to a half-share in the premium of gold found under tribute arrangements, resulting in substantial financial windfalls for the tributers.

Madeline Anello-Kitzmiller (born 1997) is an American woman noted for her response to being assaulted at Rhythm and Vines in New Zealand on December 31, 2017.
While walking through the venue, a man came up behind her and a friend and groped one of her decorated breasts.
Anello-Kitzmiller indicated that she had been previously been abused by others at the festival, and her response was partly due to her pent up anger.
Other writers, such as Gable Tostee, have said that Anello-Kitzmiller was looking for a fight and should be charged with assault.
Some of the women in the march went topless wearing glitter similar to how Anello-Kitzmiller was dressed at the original event.
Project NEXT was previously known as the National Ticketing Programme (NTP) from early 2016 to early 2018, preceded by the Auckland Integrated Ticketing Scheme (AITS, also known under its brand name HOP) and Auckland Integrated Fares System (AIFS) prior to that.
The aim is to achieve a nationally consistent payment system, with a choice of payment by cash, phone, credit card, debit card, or a transit card valid for the whole country.
Whilst work at a national level has been undertaken since 2009 and integrated ticketing has been introduced for public transport in Auckland, as of 2020 there is still no national system available.
The desire to achieve a nationwide public transport payment system was first raised in 2007 when it was announced that Snapper was working on a stored-value card for public transport in the Wellington Region, with Wellington and Auckland transport officials in talks about teaming up to work on a system that could be applied nationwide.
The Snapper card was introduced in Wellington in July 2008 and applied to buses operated under the GO Wellington branding; those buses were owned by NZ Bus.
That is, the introduction of the Snapper card did not achieve an integrated fare system for Wellington; this is still the case in 2020.
The underlying thinking of the Transport Agency was that it would make sense for the development cost to be paid only once, with other regional authorities able to join and use the same technology.
The Transport Agency opted to lead the project, provided co-funding, wanted to be in control of the central clearing house system, and stated that it was most interested in getting information out of the system.
ARTA awarded the tender for the Auckland stored-value card to the Thales Group as the French technology on offer was technically superior to what Snapper had offered.
The Thales Group offered a technical solution based on the DESFire system, which at the time was the international industry standard for public transport payment systems.
Snapper's system used the Java Card OpenPlatform, which is common for payment systems but with slower transaction times, which is an issue for mass payments.
On the condition that Snapper would adjust its system so that it could interact with the Thales components, this was sanctioned by ARTA staff.
Labour opposition spokesperson for Housing and Auckland Issues, Phil Twyford, alleged in parliament in November 2012 that there had been political interference, with the Minister of Transport, Steven Joyce, having instructed Transport Agency officials for Snapper to be included in the Auckland project.
Snapper, based on its system already in use in Wellington, could roll out the system more quickly and the aim was to be operational on the entire NZ Bus fleet for the Rugby World Cup to be held in New Zealand from 9 September 2011.
In August 2012, Auckland Transport terminated its agreement with Snapper over an ongoing inability to configure their system to work smoothly with the Thales Group system.
Auckland Transport rolled out the AT HOP card from October 2012 (starting with trains and ferries) until April 2014 (finishing with buses).
Transport Agency staff approached the Wellington Regional Council in December 2015, suggesting that they introduce the Hop card system, therefore working towards having a unified system for the country.
Part of the Transport Agency's proposal was that its subsidiary, New Zealand Transport Ticketing Limited (NZTTL, established in November 2011), be appointed to act as the central clearing house.
The latter includes the possibility that payments get made via smartphones, debit cards and credit cards, removing the need for users to have a proprietary payment card linked to a public transport provider.
Nine of the smaller regional councils formed the Regional Consortium in 2013, a collaborative working group that could represent their shared interests in public transport matters.
By late 2013, service level agreements had been put in place for the coming three years in support of the existing ticketing systems; it was thought that this was a sufficient time frame for the National Integrated Ticketing Interoperability Standard (NITIS) to be ready.
The governance group of the Regional Consortium was made up of representatives from the Transport Agency, its subsidiary NZTTL, and executives of seven of the nine regional councils.
When NITIS, the critical component for integration into the national ticketing system, was not available on time, the regional councils extended their service level agreements to May 2018.
In early 2016, it was agreed between the Regional Consortium, the Transport Agency, and Wellington region that the integration into the national ticketing system would no longer be pursued.
It is planned for RITS to be an interim solution for up to five years prior to joining the national ticketing system.
Palmerston North, Ashhurst, Feilding, Levin, and Marton) were to switch to the system in mid-January 2020, but this has been delayed over teething problems.
Based on Greater Wellington's feedback, a working party was convened from 2016 under the project name of National Ticketing Programme, also known under the acronym GRETS (Greater Wellington, Regional Consortium, Environment Canterbury Ticketing Solution).
Parties represented on the steering group were the Transport Agency, its subsidiary NZTTL, Bay of Plenty region, Canterbury region, Wellington region, Otago region, Taranaki region, and Waikato region.
Based on Auckland's contract with Thales running until 2021 (with an option to extent to 2026), it was assumed that they would not join the programme and were not included in the economic analysis.
The situation changed when Auckland Transport joined GRETS in early 2018 and in May 2018, this resulted in Project NEXT being formed as a successor to GRETS.
The Transport Agency disestablished the governance group and handed its oversight to a newly-formed group called the Connected Journey Solutions (CJS) unit.
When the Transport Agency's CEO, Fergus Gammie, resigned and was replaced by interim-CEO Mark Ratcliffe, concerns were raised internally and Ratcliffe commissioned professional services company Deloitte with undertaking a review of Project NEXT.
As of 2020, these PTAs are neither part of the Regional Interim Ticketing Solution (RITS) nor do they have plans to join Project NEXT.
As of January 2020, it has not been announced when the remaining seven public transport authorities will implement their Bee Card systems.
The rollout for Project NEXT will begin with the Wellington commuter rail; this is expected for 2022, some two years later than previously planned.
The Minute Man, is an 1874 sculpture by Daniel Chester French located in Minute Man National Historical Park in Concord, Massachusetts.
The statue was unveiled in 1875 for the centennial celebration of the battle of Battle of Concord to critical acclaim and continues to be praised by critics through the 2010s.
By September 1874, the statue was completed and a plaster version of the clay statue was sent to Ames Manufacturing Works.
Eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century art critics, such as Lorado Taft and H. C. Howard, have suggested that the pose was directly copped from the Roman sculpture.

Sharp recruited Stacy Johnson (1945 – 2017) who was singing with the Arabians, Johnson's friend Vernon Guy (1945 – 1998) who sang with the Cool Sounds, and singer Horise O'Toole (1943 – c. 1965) from the Originals.
Now a nationally known act, the Sharpees toured the chitlin' circuit and played at major theaters such as the Howard Theater in Washington D.C., the Apollo Theater in New York City, and the Regal Theater in Chicago on the same bill as Smokey Robinson & The Miracles and Stevie Wonder.
The Sharpees continued to perform around St. Louis even after Herbert Reeves was shot and killed in 1972 in retaliation for beating up a guy.
In 1978, Sharp quit professional music and focused on religion, becoming an elder at the Refuge Temple in East St. Louis.
In the mid 1980s, Guy and Johnson formed a newly reformed Sharpies which included Guy's nephew Paul Grady, but it was short-lived.
The president of the Republic Fulgencio Batista planned to expand the city to the east by building a new suburb with large avenues, and luxury buildings.
A new connection between Havana Vieja and the east side cross Havana Bay was required; the new Havana Tunnel under the Havana Bay was built by the French company Societé de Grand Travaux de Marseille between 1957-58.
In the 1970s the new suburb of Alamar in East Havana was built with the aid of the former Soviet Union.
The tunnel sections built on site (east side) are of similar characteristics as the ones in the side of Havana Vieja.
The tunnel allowed the circulation of 4 lanes of vehicles, two in each direction, ans a vertical clearance of 14 ft. and 11 ft. wide for each direction of circulation.
Two sidewalks 3 ft. wide each have been provided for police surveillance, one at each side of the central partition-wall which separates the two roads.
The central part of the Tunnel; the section which corresponds to the third tube is horizontal and has a length 100 m. Due to these requirements, the port of entry to Havana, originally about 160m wide and 40 ft. deep, has remained unchanged, thus offering the possibility of having a channel nearly 100 m. wide and 45 ft. deep.
The Tunnel's ventilation is provided from two ventilation towers situated on both shores of the entrance channel, at a distance of more than 500 m. from each other.
The fresh air into the Tunnel circulates inside special conduits installed throughout its entire length i.e., two lateral galleries 3.60 m. high and 1.50 m. wide, and will be evenly distributed through openings made approximately every 3 m. in the walls of said galleries.
The indications appearing on these carbon monoxide alarms will simultaneously be reproduced in the control rooms, which will enable those on duty to put into service the necessary extra number of fans to increase the supply of fresh air.
The Battle of the Anio Rver was fought in 361 BC between the Roman Republic, led by the dictator Titus Quinctius Pennus Capitolinus Crispinus, and a group of Gauls who had encamped near the Via Salaria beyond the bridge over the Anio River.
Titus Quinctius Pennus Capitolinus Crispinus was appointed dictator in 361 BC, most likely due to the presence of Gauls and their proximity to Rome.
They had encamped on the side of the Anio River farthest from the city near the Via Salaria, roughly 3 km north of the Colline Gate.
Upon being appointed dictator, Crispinus ordered that the courts be suspended and that all men of military qualifications join him to march north to the river.
Skirmishing began over possession of the bridge that crossed the river, but it yielded no results as both sides were evenly matched.
It continued on until a large Gaul came to the bridge, demanding that the Romans send their bravest man to fight him so that the standoff could be resolved.
He exploited the Gaul's size and snuck between his sword and body, leaving himself unexposed and delivering a decisive blow to his groin and stomach, killing his enemy and therefore deciding the result of the battle.
The Gauls retreated east from the bridge to the town of Tibur, where they formed a military alliance with the Tiburtes, who provided them with supplies.

Skåne County elected 47 out of the 349 seats for the Riksdag in the general election held in Sweden on the 9 September 2018.
Skåne lost one parliamentary seat as a result of demographic distribution changes throughout Sweden, going from 48 seats overall to 47.
Since Skåne had four constituencies, the total number of votes in the county did not necessarily reflect proportion in seats won since those were allocated in four different areas.
Although the divide is not clear by using one decimal, the Sweden Democrats had 26.14% as the largest party compared to 26.13% for the Social Democrats, 50,059 votes to 50,041.
The changes and trends are based upon the parties' performances relative to the 2014 election and whether the party did better or worse in said municipality than the national average of the party's trend.
If that trend points upwards, the municipality became a more important part of the party's vote share than before, whereas a downward trend indicates the opposite.

Aloïse Moudileno-Massengo was born in 1933 in the Vindza (Vinza) district of N’Ko (N’koo) in the department of the Pool, the second child of a family belonging to the Lâri community.
In 1947 he attended the Kindamba primary school and then, in 1948, the little seminary of Mbamou where he either crossed paths with or followed in the wake of several young Congolese men who would later play important political roles (Lazare Matsocota, Emmanuel Ndébéka, Emile Biayenda).
In 1956 he received his Baccalaureate in philosophy from the academy of Bordeaux, which he prepared at the Savorgnan de Brazza lycée in Brazzaville (where he also met Pierre Nzé and André Milongo).
Having been admitted into the higher education system in France, he did his preparatory courses at the Lycée Poincaré of Nancy where he attended courses in the ENFOM, or École nationale de la France d’outre mer.
The passing of the Deferre Policy in 1956 shook up relations between France and its overseas territories, and the last class of student-administrators was accepted in 1956.
During the next five years he became close friends with Emmanuel Yoka and André Milongo as well as establishing strong ties with François Olassa, Édouard Ebouka-Babackas, Alexis Gabou, Jean-Martin M’Bemba and Pierre Moussa.
Indeed, there were agreements passed between 1960 and 1961 by the French State and the majority of its ex-colonies, that established institutional reciprocity.
Aloïse Moudileno-Massengo filed and subsequently won a suit against the Nancy bar: the decision was reached by the court of appeals and was recorded as precedent on March 4, 1964.
In 1964, at the age of 31, Aloïse Moudileno-Massengo thus became the first Congolese lawyer integrated in a French bar association as well as the first black member of the Nancy bar, where he would practice until 1966.
by a decree of the Garde des Sceaux (Keeper of the Seals) and the Minister of Justice on the, thereby becoming the first lawyer integrated into the Brazzaville bar association.
Continuing the militant activity initiated in the Association des Étudiants Congolais (Association of Congolese Students), he remained in constant communication with the new African elite opposed to neo-colonialism.
Most notably, he was the editor in chief of the Étudiant Congolais (The Congolese Student), the journal of the Fédération des Étudiants d’Afrique Noire Francophone (FEANF)(The Federation of Students of Francophone Black Africa).
It is in this spirit that he attended as a lawyer the United Nations Conference on the rights of treaties in Vienna Austria from March to May 1968.
In August 1968, Aloïse Moudileno-Massengo was nominated Garde des Sceaux (Keeper of the Seals), Minister of Justice and of Labor, by president Alphonse Massemba-Débat.
At the age of 35, along with Ambroise Noumazalaye, Claude-Ernest Ndalla, Justin Lekoudzou and Pierre Nzé, he became part of the emerging young intelligentsia trained in French universities and shaped politically by the anti-colonialist circles of the Association des Étudiants Congolais in France (AEC) and the FEANF, whose rise within the party in power and the state apparatus, contributed to the renewing of the ruling class.
Captain Marien Ngouabi came to power at the beginning of September and following the advice of Jacques Opangault (founder of the Mouvement Socialiste Africain—African Socialist Movement—affiliated with the SFIO) returned Aloïse Moudileno-Massengo to his functions within the government convened on September 6th, 1968.
In august of 1968, he sent to all prison wardens a series of rules forbidding practices that would humiliate or debase those incarcerated.
In the same humanistic spirit, he attempted to promote rehabilitation through education and began to set up reading spaces throughout the prison system.
He was maintained in his functions despite repeated ministerial reshuffling and he continued to advance in the hierarchical order of power.
In December of 1969 the Mouvement National de la Révolution (The National Movement of the Revolution) was replaced by the Parti Congolais du Travail (PCT)(The Congolese Party of Labor).
As Keeper of the Seals Moudileno-Massengo oversaw the trial of the triple murder of the high-level functionaries Matsocota, Pouabou and Massouémé though who was responsible for the murders was never firmly established.
The Political Bureau and the Council of State were reorganized with a rise in the power of Moudileno-Massengo who became the vice-president of the Board of State and vice-president of the Republic.
The marginalization of the left wing of the party would feed a growing tension within the party that in turn would lead to a coup attempt on February 22nd, 1972 (the so-called M 22 movement, led by Ange Diawara).
With others designated to the right (Ekamba-Elombé, ierre Nzé and H. Lopès), Aloïse Moudileno-Massengo was arrested by the leaders of the coup and incarcerated at the Makala prison, only to be liberated by the destitutions of power and sentences.
As the second in command in the regime, Aloïse Moudileno-Massengo led a number of diplomatic missions throughout Africa, Asia and Europe.
His widely disseminated letter of resignation addressed to Marien Ngouabi on August 5th 1972 revealed the extent of their political differences.
His decision would be heavily criticized by his political rivals but also by his mentor, Jacques Opangault who feared a breakdown of the fragile North-South relationship.
Along these same lines, from 1979 to 1991, Aloïse Moudileno-Massengo remained an emblematic opposition leader to the regime of Denis Sassou-Nguesso through the Front Patriotique Congolais (Congolese Patriotic Front) created in 1983 with Dr. Ekondy-Akala and then through the Mouvement Patriotique Congolais (Congolese Patriotic Movement) or MPC over which he presided.
All the while, it also emphasized its relatively minimal impact because of Denis Sassou-Nguesso’s ability to weaken the opposition and to control the armed forces.
Sassou-Nguesso accomplished this by regularly hiring important members of the opposition into elevated posts in his government all while maintaining members of his family originating in the village of Oyo or from the Cuvette region in key military and security positions.
In 1990, Aloïse Moudileno-Massengo published a document entitled Call to the Nation that was subsequently signed by the principle opposition parties both within the country and in exile, most notably B. Koléla, A. Hombessa, J. Nkouka, Ekondi-Akala.
Amon the 84 other parties and political associations, he took part in the Sovereign National Conference established in February of 1991 in his capacity as leader of the MPC (with Dr. Ekondi-Akala).
Aloïse Moudileno-Massengo was instead part of the delegation that supported André Milongo (who was designated as the transitional prime minister in June, 1991) to the presidency in 1992.
In April of 1992, Aloïse Moudileno-Massengo was named Adjunct Director General to Elf-Congo at the demand of the Congolese State, one of the company’s shareholders.
This nomination occurred in the context of the recalibration of the Congo and the oil companies that had been demanded by the National Conference.
After having successfully renegotiated the part of oil revenues that would be returned to the Congolese state, President Pascal Lissouba ,who faced ever-increasing budgetary problems, ceded a significant portion of future revenue, and finally, at the end of 1994 gave to Elf-Congo the entire 25% that the Congolese state held, thereby eliminating the position of Adjunct Director General occupied by Aloïse Moudileno-Massengo.
On the 22nd of January 1993, approximately fifteen political parties, including the Mouvement Patriotique Congolais signed the founding document of the Centre Démocratique (Democratic Center).
Led by Moudileno-Massengo, this parti proposed a massive reform of the financing of political parties in order to reduce corruption to minimize the recruitment done by political leaders within their close family circle.
From 1994 onward, the power of the various political parties was increasingly determined by military strength that was in turn undergirded by foreign forces or by ethnically defined militias.
Sitka Sedge State Natural Area (Sitka Sedge) is an estuary and beach on the north coast of the U.S. state of Oregon in Tillamook County.
Sitka Sedge consists of of tidal marsh, mudflats, dunes, forested wetlands, and uplands at the south end of the Sand Lake estuary, north of Tierra Del Mar.
Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) purchased the property formerly known as the Beltz Farm in 2014 to preserve this natural ecosystem for public education.
In the early part of the twentieth century, Anna Elise Timm Roenicke, who became widowed in 1899, moved her family from Portland to the coastal property and used it for dairy farming.
During the 1930s, Beltz built two residences, one for their family and a second for the full-time caretaker who managed the farm.
In the 1940s–1950s, the Fry family farmed the land, and there was a Coast Guard monitoring station there during the 1940s.
In 1989, residents of Tierra Del Mar began a two-year process to successfully appeal a U.S. Forest Service decision to clear-cut within the Beltz Creek watershed.
In 1993, residents persuaded the Tillamook Department of Community Development to deny a Conditional Use Application of Stuwe Land and Timber Company for a mine and aggregate quarry site.
However, the mitigation recommended was to breach the dike on the Beltz farm property, to allow for tidal flow into Sand Lake's fresh water marsh, to improve its estuarine ecology, and to restore high salt marsh habitat for fish and other animals.
Their Board of Directors officially opposed the construction of an 18-hole golf course, and also officially opposed a conditional use application permit that Golf Links, L.C.C., had filed in Tillamook County.
Urness additionally credited decades-long resistance from the adjacent Tierra Del Mar community that prevented golf course proposals on the estuary and beachfront multiple times.
OPRD acquired the area from Ecotrust in June 2014 using Oregon Lottery funds and a National Coastal Wetlands Conservation grant from the U.S.
Sometime in the 1930s, Frita Beltz installed a half-mile long dike and a tide gate to hold tidewater back, creating a freshwater marsh when the gate closed, and draining the area behind the dike at low tide.
The dike has also impeded movement of native fish (coho, chum, steelhead and coastal cutthroat trout), preventing migration to spawning areas.
The second would create an 18-foot gap in the dike, about the combined width of two creeks flowing into the marsh, which may fulfill Oregon's required minimum for fish passage.
In 1913, all Oregon beaches below the high tide line were designated as public highways, making all Oregon beaches public land.
The total area of the tidal and diked marsh surface of the Sand Lake estuary is about , according to a 1978 estimate by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW).
The diked freshwater marsh surface area was estimated at that time to be 11% of the bay subsystem and 8% of the entire estuary.
Fish and Wildlife Service has designated portions of Sitka Sedge as critical habitat for Western snowy plover, and adjacent areas south and east of Sitka Sedge as critical habitat for marbled murrelet and the northern spotted owl.
The park is minimally developed, with restrooms and a small gravel parking area accommodating up to 26 vehicles (2 spaces are ADA-accessible).
The hike led them to a forest of Douglas firs and Sitka Spruce then through shore pines, finally to the beach and surf.
He also reported the tides were so high on his trip their kayaks were able to surf a few waves at the north end of the lake.
It operated in the 1930s and 1940s, and was amalgamated with the Commonwealth Investigation Branch, to form the Commonwealth Investigation Service (CIS).

Koba's history of abuse and torment leading him to becoming the main antagonist of the series was seen as one of the best villain arcs in modern cinema.
Eventually, Koba was picked up by the company Gen-Sys to be part of a testing procedure for the ALZ-113 retrovirus developed by Will Rodman, in hopes of curing Alzheimer's.
Koba was mocked briefly by Rodman's superior, Steven Jacobs, by knocking on Koba's window as he was being strapped in for the procedure.
While Koba was sedated, Franklin had breathed in enough of the 113 virus to become contaminated, which would begin the Simian Flu outbreak that caused humanity to die out.
After the procedure, Koba showed off his newfound intelligence by writing Jacobs' name on a writing computer screen, taunting him while he plots his revenge.
Koba followed Caesar and the rest of the apes to Muir Woods Park, where he attacked Rodman, but was stopped by Caesar before he could kill him.
Koba assists Caesar in saving Blue Eyes from a bear attack, and tells Blue Eyes not to be ashamed of his new scars from the encounter, as they show that he is strong.
The next day, Koba heard a gunshot ring throughout the forest, and finds Rocket's son Ash has been wounded by a group of humans with loaded guns.
Caesar scares the humans into retreating, and orders Koba to follow them, where he finds a small civilisation of humans that have survived the outbreak.
Koba insists on eradicating the humans for what they did to Ash, and comes into conflict with Rocket for this, who insists that what happened was simply an accident.
Caesar and the apes march to the humans' settlement and claim that they do not want war, and that the humans must stay out of the apes territory.
Malcolm, one of the co-founders of the human's settlement, returns to the woods to make peace with Caesar in order to gain access to a hydroelectric generator at a dam in the apes territory.
Koba fears that if the humans get more power, they will become more dangerous, to which Caesar replies that once they finish their work they will leave.
Koba observes that the humans have enough weaponry to wipe out the apes, and attempts to go and warn Caesar, but is caught by two human guards who threaten him.
Koba begins ranting that Caesar loves humans more than apes, and the two get into a fight where Caesar nearly beats Koba to death for his insolence.
Koba keeps the discovery of the guns a secret, and warns Blue Eyes that he fears for Caesar's safety due to the humans remaining in the apes' territory.
Koba kills the human Carver, who had shot Ash and was flippant with the apes previously, and takes his hat and cigarette lighter as souveniers.
Koba then uses the rifle to shoot Caesar in the shoulder as they both stare at each other, seemingly killing Caesar.
Koba leaves the items he took from Carver at the scene of the shooting, framing him for killing Caesar and burning down the village.
Koba wages war against the humans, claiming it to be in revenge for the death of Caesar and assuming leadership of the colony.
Koba charges into war with the rest of the male apes, killing many humans and leading to the deaths of many apes.
Koba demands that all human survivors are rounded up and taken prisoner, claiming that they will know life inside a cage, and imprisons Caesar's remaining sympathisers in a bus.
Caesar claims that Koba was like a brother to him, while Koba retorts that Caesar is a brother to the humans, and that Koba will free apes from tyranny.
Koba appears to haunt Caesar after he accidentally kills the gorilla Winter, who had joined forces with Colonel McCullough out of fear.
Koba appears to Caesar again while he is being tortured, mocking Caesar and claiming that he cannot save the apes, and he should succumb to his injuries and join him in death.
We did that to give us a tiny crack of a possibility that we could revive Koba if we wanted to.
Very early on in spitballing, we realized there was nothing more to do with Koba—certainly nothing that would exceed what he had done in the last story.
In playing out the reality of what happened at the end of the last film, Caesar would be traumatized by having to kill his brother.
Koba has been seen as one of the best movie villains of the 2010's, along with Thanos from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as one of the best accomplishments in CGI and motion capture performances.
Koba has also been referred to on many occasions as being similar in nature to the relationship between The Joker and Batman, with The Joker often being referred to as the polar opposite of Batman, while also being his exact equal.
Here, he manages to rival his previous best performance as Gollum in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, which is a testament to Serkis’ abilities as well as the visual effects.

The Sarajevo Operation was an operation by the Yugoslav Partisan Army which led to the liberation of Sarajevo and Central Bosnia in March-April 1945.
The German defense plan for Yugoslavia of 22 February 1945 had named Sarajevo as a fortified city, which could only be abandoned by direct permission from Adolf Hitler.
By 20 March , the failure of Operation Spring Awakening (the German offensive in Hungary) and the successful offensive of the Yugoslav 4th Army in Lika (North-Western Croatia), made holding Sarajevo pointless.
Under command of the Operational HQ for Liberation of Sarajevo were the 2nd, 3rd and 5th Corps of the Yugoslav army, supported by the 11th and 13th Krajina and 18th Central Bosnian Brigade, an Artillery Brigade and a Tank Company.
During the pursuit of the enemy, Yugoslav units liberated Visoko, Kakanj and on 10 April Busovača, which concluded the Sarajevo operation.

Robert Kajiwara (also known as Rob Kajiwara) (Japanese: , ロブ　カジワラ, Chinese: 魏孝昌) is a writer, actor, musician, and activist of Ryukyuan and Hawaiian descent.
His great-grandparents migrated from Nakagusuku Village, Okinawa, to Hawaii during the early 20th century where they worked on sugar cane plantations.
He is conversant and/or literate in several other languages, including the Okinawan language, Chinese Mandarin, Okinawan-Japanese, the Yaeyama language, the Miyako language, Hawaiian, and Hawaiian Pidgin.
He is currently working on a Ph.D. in History at Manchester Metropolitan University where he is researching the history of Ryukyu-China cross-cultural exchange.
Musically, Kajiwara performs in the genres of American / British pop, Hawaiian music, and traditional Ryukyuan music, sometimes combining elements from all four.
On December 8, 2018 Kajiwara started a petition calling for a stop to the construction of the military base being built at Henoko, Okinawa.
They condemned the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope on Mauna Kea as well as Governor of Hawaii David Ige's handling of the situation.
In July 2019 Kajiwara spoke at the United Nations 41st Human Rights Council, asking for an investigation into Japan's human rights violations against Ryukyuans.
On February 20, 2019 while entering Japan from Hawaii at Kansai International Airport, Kajiwara was detained by immigration for 110 minutes.
According to Kajiwara he was interrogated and threatened to be denied entry into Japan before the Okinawan congressman Teruya Kantoku personally intervened on his behalf.
The police stated that they wanted to protect Kajiwara from potential attacks or harassment from far-right Japanese neo-nationalists who favor the Henoko military base, though Kajiwara and others dismissed such claims, stating that the police never interviewed him directly and did nothing to protect him from potential threats.
It was clear that the Dutch army and the regular warships of the Dutch navy could not deter enemy gunboats from descending down the many rivers or from entering the Zuiderzee or the Zeeland delta.
The Dutch naval budget equaled that of Austria, and superseded that of Turkey and Spain, but these three states each deployed 5-9 'battleships', while the Netherlands had none.
The Dutch navy tried to make the demand for many small vessels more bearable by designing a vessel that could be used in the Netherlands as well as in the Dutch East Indies.
For service in home waters they would not have to be loaded so heavily, and would therefore have the shallower draught required for coastal defense.
Somewhere before October 1859 the Dutch navy got the news that high pressure steam engines were not suitable for the far east.
It meant that the department of the navy published plans, and shipyards could offer to realize these at a certain price.
On 15 September Arie van der Hoog ceded the name A. van der Hoog and Compagnie to Nicolaas van der Werff merchant captain from Dokkum.
Nicolaas van der Werff would continue the company A. van der Hoog with its shipyards Koning William on the Hoogte Kadijk and the Parel on the Wittenburgergracht.
The preceding Hector had been a vessel of 34.60 m by 7.40 m with a draught of 3.20 m. After the news that high-pressure engines could not be used in the East Indies came in, the naval department set about to design a new dual purpose gunvessel that used a low pressure steam engine.
The requirement to be able to cross the oceans meant that the class had the heavy sails and rigging required to do so.
He stated that for certain purposes he thought the Haarlemmermeer class the best type of ship to send to the East Indies.
Due to the attempt to combine too much functions on a small surface, the heat of the engines could not properly escape the ship.
One wanted the vessels to be able to assist in the national defense by serving on our rivers, to be able to cross the ocean, and to serve in the East Indies.
They have too much draught, are hindered by too heavy sails and rigging, and do not have enough space to lodge the crew.
There were reports of the temperatures in the engine room reaching 150-180 degrees Fahrenheit (65-82 degrees Celsius) and of stokers fainting on the job.
By 1866 five of the nine ships in the class were no longer in service, all of them unfit after only a few years in the Dutch East Indies.
The problem that brought these ships to an early end was dry rot, now called brown rot, a fungus that causes wood to decay.
In general all steam vessels generated heat on the inside of the ship, and were therefore more susceptible to dry rot than sailing ships, especially in the tropics.
At the time it was well known that seasoning the wood before use and ventilation of the ship were the only effective means to prevent dry rot.
Wood could be seasoned by storing it for some time before use, or by lengthening the construction time of ships, causing the wood to season while the ship was on the slipway.
In the plans (for the ships built at commercial shipyards) this principle has been neglected, because these plans all order a very speedy delivery of these ships, so they cannot spend much time on the slipway.
He therefore admits that the time allowed for construction deviated from what he himself gave as a guideline for constructing ships on state shipyards.
Above all I fear that this will again be used as a reason not to built state ships on commercial shipyards.
The proposal is supported by just one of the political parties represented in the Danish Parliament, which has less than 9% of the total seats.
Representatives of the far-right Danish People's Party (, DF), which has 16 seats (8.7%) of the 179 seats in the Danish Parliament, had already called for a Danish referendum on leaving the EU, in the run-up to the British vote on June 23, 2016.
The liberal party Venstre, Socialdemokraterne, Enhedslisten, Liberal Alliance, Alternativet, Det Radikale Venstre, Socialistisk Folkeparti, Det Konservative Folkeparti and the Kristendemokraterne Party are all against this proposal.
Populist and member of the European Parliament, Morten Messerschmidt has predicted that his country will leave the European Union within the next 10 years due to the success of Brexit.
Denmark has been a member of the EU since 1973 and has had a Eurosceptic majority for a long time; nevertheless a majority support continued Danish membership of the EU.
The poem is 742 lines long, consisting of twenty-one blank verse paragraphs with two embedded rhyming poems, plus sixty-four footnotes written by Smith.
The poem begins with an apostrophe addressing the cliffs of Beachy Head and the hour when the land mass of Britain was separated from mainland Europe to become an island.
The speaker of the poem then describes dawn on the coast, fishing boats, and a merchant ship bringing pearls from Asia, which prompts the speaker to criticize consumerism of luxury goods.
The poem then shifts back in time to describe the history of Beachy Head during the Norman conquest, drawing parallels to Britain's current resistance to current French threats of invasion.
The poem describes the happiness of a hind and two village children, whose innocence allows them happiness which the speaker compares to her own lost idyllic childhood.
The poem then moves to look down upon the roofs of houses in the village, the church, and gardens, then discusses the natural history of some local plants and animals.
This leads to a contemplation of fossils embedded in the cliffs of Beachy Head, and how scientists and antiquarians describe and interpret them.
The poem revisits some of its core themes again, then ends with two portraits: a roving poet who disappears, and a hermit from a local legend who saves sailors from shipwrecks.
The poem promisees to provide an epitaph for the hermit, but then ends abruptly without it; critics are undecided whether the poem was unfinished because Smith died before it was complete, or whether the ending was intentionally left unwritten.
Smith sent a draft of the poem to her publisher, Joseph Johnson, around five months before her death in October 1806.
In this reading, it has been suggested that the missing elements are the biographical sketch and selected letters that Johnson had intended to add to the book.
It was written during the Napoleonic Wars, which directly followed the French Revolutionary Wars, such that England and France had been in conflict for fifteen years at the time of the poem's composition.
The poem also discusses important moments of British history, such as the Danish conquest of England and the Norman conquest, as well as the inhabitants of prehistoric Britain.
The poem has been described as a dialectical exploration of historiography, placing local personal histories alongside grand national narratives of history.
Scholars also draw attention to its relation to the ongoing history being made of the Napoleonic war, and Smith's support of revolutionary efforts in America and France.
Leocadia Zorrilla, married name: Leocadia Weiss (9 December 1788, Madrid - 7 August 1856, Madrid) was the old-age companion of Spanish painter, Francisco Goya, and mother of the artist, Rosario Weiss Zorrilla.
In 1807, she was married to Isidore Weiss, a Jewish-German jeweler whose family lived in Madrid, and they settled into his parents' home.
In 1817, together with her two younger children, she moved in with Goya, who had become a widower in 1812; ostensibly to be his housekeeper.
In 1824, she was compelled to leave Madrid for Bayonne, as her son, Guillermo, had become involved in the revolutionary activities of Francisco Espoz y Mina.
Although Leocadia had a fiery, restless temperament, and Goya had become rather feeble, they appeared to enjoy each other's company and were often seen in public together.
She was left in a rather precarious financial state, not having been included in his will, but Javier allowed her to keep his father's furniture, as well as providing her with some money.
Despite Javier's apparent generosity, her letters indicate that the following five years were difficult and that she survived largely by virtue of a pension from the French government.
They supported themselves on what Rosario was able to earn; copying and selling works of the Old Masters at the Museo del Prado.
In 1840, Rosario was accepted at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando and received an appointment as drawing tutor to Princesses Isabel and Luisa Fernanda, receiving a salary of 8,000 Reales.
What became of Leocadia after that is unclear, although it is known that she was forced to sell several works of Goya's that she had retained.

Recurrent themes in Putuma's work are love, queerness, decolonial struggle and the legacy of apartheid, as well as the intersection of patriarchy with those ideas and identities.
Within three months of its release the book sold 2000 copies, had 17 launches across South Africa and was on the syllabus at two universities.
Burger's critique places Putuma's use of the water as a literary device within the context of other South African poets, such as Ronelda S Kamfer.
Whilst it was Putuma's poetry that brought her to a global stage, her work for stage has also been received to critical acclaim, dealing with contemporary political issues.

The Aigues-Vives tramway (French Chemin de Fer d'Aigues-Vives-Bourg a Aigues-Vives PLM or colloquially La Lignette) was a long narrow-gauge railway with a gauge of in Aigues-Vives in the department Gard in Southern France.
The secondary railway with a gauge of connected the Aigues-Vives station on the Nîmes-Lunel line of the Chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée (PLM) with the local fruit processing companies.
The companies produced mainly wine, jams and fruit syrups as well as wooden barrels for the transport of these fruit products.
Gard's member of the National Assembly, Émile Jamais, who was born in Aigues-Vives, belonged to the railway committee that was set-up in June 1886 for obtaining the concession.
This explains why the committee was well acquainted with the laws governing the construction of narrow-gauge railways and the necessary application procedure.
The 1697 m long single-track route ran from a square in the village to the station of the PLM on a 3.20 m wide route.
According to the time table, four trains with one passenger car per day were used for mixed passenger and freight traffic in each direction.
In the last years of the 19th century, more than 40 companies, some of which were very significant, were active in wholesale or barrique wine trade.
Later the wine was increasingly bottled in the consumer countries, whereby the direct transport from the winery was made much easier initially with wooden wine barrel wagons and later with steel tank wagons.
The disused route was dismantled, only the small bridges were initially preserved, and parts of the route were used as a dirt road that runs almost parallel to Rue de la Gare , which leads from the village to the train station.
Later, the site of the former narrow-gauge railway station in the village was used from 1931 as a bullring and as a fairground.

The Battle of al-Mada'in was fought near al-Mada'in in central Iraq between the armies of the Hamdanids and the Baridis, for control over Baghdad, the capital and seat of the Abbasid Caliphate.
In a fiercely contested battle over four days (16–19 August 942) that cost both sides many casualties, the Hamdanid army prevailed.
By the 930s, after a series of civil wars that enfeebled its central government, the Abbasid Caliphate had splintered and shrunk to its core territories.
Effective control over the more distant provinces of the empire had long been lost, but now autonomous local dynasties emerged in the territories around the Abbasids' metropolitan region of Iraq itself: Egypt and Syria came under the rule of the Ikhshidids, the Hamdanids secured control over Upper Mesopotamia, while most of Iran was ruled by Daylamite warlords, among whom the Buyids became prominent.
Even in Iraq itself, the authority of the caliphal government was challenged: in the south, around Basra, the Baridi family under Abu Abdallah al-Baridi established its own domain, more often than not withholding the tax revenues from Baghdad to fill their own coffers.
These autonomous rulers vied with one another, and with military warlords from what remained of the Abbasid army, over control of Baghdad, the administrative centre of Iraq and seat of the Abbasid caliphs.
In this turmoil, the Baridis managed to advance their positions from Basra to Wasit, gain the support of the Daylamites in the Abbasid army, and briefly capture Baghdad for the first time in June 941.
Baridi rule in Baghdad was tyrannical and chaotic, as the new rulers of the capital aimed only at extracting money; the city was rife with famine, disease, and lawlessness.
Many of the Turkish officers in Ibn Ra'iq's employ who had previously defected to the Baridis, such as Tuzun, plotted against the Baridi governor, Abu Abdallah's younger brother Abu'l-Husayn al-Baridi.
when this was betrayed, they fled north for Mosul with many of their troops, where they encouraged the Caliph and the Hamdanids to campaign against Baghdad.
The situation was still in the balance, however, as Abu Abdallah gathered his forces at Wasit and began moving against the capital.
Command of the Hamdanid army was entrusted to Nasir al-Dawla's brother Ali, with the Turks under their own commanders Tuzun and Khajkhaj, while the Baridi army was led by Abu'l-Husayn.
Several high-ranking Baridi officials and commanders, including their army secretary, were captured; others defected to the Hamdanids, as did the entire Daylamite contingent in the Baridi army.
Nasir al-Dawla, dismayed at these developments and exposed being far from his real power-base, decided to give up the capital, and in June 943, the two brothers returned to Mosul.
In September 943, while Tuzun was still in Wasit, the caliph once more appealed to the Hamdanids for aid: and army under Nasir al-Dawla's cousin al-Husayn appeared before Baghdad, and the caliph left the capital and went north, meeting Nasir al-Dawla at Tikrit.
Tuzun immediately abandoned Wasit and pursued the caliph north, heavily defeated Sayf al-Dawla in two battles near Tikrit, and captured Mosul itself.
An agreement was concluded between Tuzun and the Hamdanids on 26 May 944, whereby Nasir al-Dawla renounced his claims on the Caliphate's core lands in central Iraq, receiving in return recognition for his control over Upper Mesopotamia and his claims over Syria, in exchange for an annual tribute of 3.6 million dirhams.
Tuzun's victory was concluded when al-Muttaqi was persuaded to return to the capital, only to be deposed and blinded, and al-Mustakfi placed in his stead.
The Baridis also faced mounting challenges at the same time: they had to defend Basra against the ruler of Oman, and, their resources exhausted in the long contests for Baghdad, they now turned on one another.

The Chambéry tramway was from 1892 to 1932 an up to long narrow-gauge steam tram network with 33 halts on four lines in Chambéry in Savoy in France.
Inspired by the Decauville railway at Exposition Universelle (1889), he chose a gauge of 600 mm, which was unusually narrow at the time.
In 1929, the section between Challes-les-Eaux and Saint-Jeoire-Prieuré was closed down, whereupon the tramway ended up again at its former terminus in front of the Casino, where it had been before the line was extended in 1905.

By analyzing the interplay between these forces, a team of biologists led by George Koch of Northern Arizona University calculated the theoretical maximum tree height or the point at which opposing forces balance out and a tree stops growing.
On the other hand, gravity makes it more and more difficult to haul water upwards from the roots to the canopy as the tree grows, and leafs thus become smaller near the top.
They discovered that despite the moistness of the ground far below, the leaves at the treetops struggle to get enough water, so they are effectively living in a constant drought.
All the known giant trees occur in mesic climates, but nearly all of them (32 species) are found in three regions: western North America from California to British Columbia, Southeast Asia (especially Borneo) and southeastern Australia (especially Tasmania).
Modern verified measurements with laser rangefinders or with tape drop measurements made by tree climbers (such as those carried out by canopy researchers), have shown that some older tree height measurement methods are often unreliable, sometimes producing exaggerations of 5% to 15% or more above the real height.
Historical claims of trees growing to , and even , are now largely disregarded as unreliable, and attributed to human error.

Ian Palmer is an Australian bishop in the Anglican Church of Australia, who served as Bishop of Bathurst from 2013 until 2019.
After graduation, Palmer served in parish ministry and university chaplaincy in the north of England prior to moving to Australia to take up a position as Director of Evangelism in the Diocese of Newcastle in 1990.
Prior to being appointed as bishop, his most recent appointment was at Queanbeyan in the Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn in 2005.
During his tenure as bishop, the Diocese faced significant financial problems, after the Supreme Court of New South Wales found that the Diocese was liable to repay a $40million loan advanced to a diocesan development fund to fund two schools after it defaulted on the loan.
Palmer was responsible for selling church property to fund the debts, and even prior to the judgment, Palmer himself had to take up part-time ministry in Dubbo in addition to his role as bishop as there were insufficient funds to pay for his role to fund the case.

At the outbreak of World War I, 37 battalions of French, North African and Senegalese infantry were transferred from Morocco to France.
Five Senegalese battalions were soon serving on the Western Front, while others formed part of the reduced French garrison in Morocco.
On the Western Front, the Senegalese Tirailleurs served with distinction at Ypres and Dixmude during the First Battle of Ypres in late 1914, at the capture of Fort Douaumont in October 1916, during the Battle of Chemin des Dames in April 1917 and at the Second Battle of the Marne in 1918.
Losses were particularly heavy in Flanders (estimated from 3,200 to 4,800) and Chemin des Dames (7,000 out of 15,500 tirailleurs engaged).
The harsh conditions of trench warfare were a particular source of suffering to the un-acclimatized African soldiers and, after 1914/15, the practice was adopted of withdrawing them to the south of France for training and re-equipping each winter.
Fréjus welcomed, on the initiative of General Joseph Gallieni, then military governor of Paris, the first overseas troops in 1915 and became a transition site for these soldiers, allowing them to acclimatize before their departure for the front.
Military camps and hospitals were then built to accommodate troops coming from the then French colonies in Africa and French Indochina.
As early as 1925, the military imagined building a community center for the colonial troops so that the soldiers would not feel too isolated outside their home country and to combat homesickness and improve moral.
They decided to build the Missiri after tensions with their comrades-in-arms, the Tirailleurs indochinois who had built in Fréjus, as early as 1917, the Hông Hiên Tu pagoda dedicated to Vietnamese Buddhism of the Mahayana tradition.
During the interwar period and after the Second World War, the military camps around Fréjus developed their role as training centers, before departure for external operations for the French Far East Expeditionary Corps in Indochina, Madagascar and later North Africa.
The site is nowadays more a monument than a place of prayer and worship in this roofless building with its unfinished murals.
Captain Abdel Kader Mademba, supported by Colonel Lame, then commander in arms, took the initiative for the project and built a mosque in the Caïs camp on the road to Bagnols-en-Forêt.
Built in the Bois de Vincennes, for the Paris Colonial Exposition of 1931, it was demolished shortly after the end of the exhibition.
The Missiri mosque is entirely made of reinforced concrete covered with red plaster, to match the soil tones around Fréjus (the original is made of mudbricks with a dominant yellow ochre color).
The corners are flanked by turrets and two large central towers, to the east and west, shelter the stairs leading to the terrace.
The Missiri does not include a wall directed to Mecca, a mihrab or a covered prayer area, which are important architectural elements of a proper place of worship for Muslims.

It started out as a 'Mixed' regiment with around two-thirds of its personnel being women from the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS).
The regiment defended the West of England from 1942 to the end of the war when it moved to South East England.
By 1941, after two years of war Anti-Aircraft Command, tasked with defending the UK against air attack, was suffering a manpower shortage.
In April its commander-in-chief, Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick 'Tim' Pile, proposed to overcome this by utilising the women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS).
The ATS was by law a non-combatant service, but it was decided that Defence Regulations permitted the employment of women in anti-aircraft (AA) roles other than actually firing the guns.
They worked the radar and plotting instruments, range-finders and predictors, ran command posts and communications, and carried out many other duties.
With the increasing automation of heavy AA (HAA) guns, including gun-laying, fuze-setting and ammunition loading under remote control from the predictor, the question of who actually fired the gun became blurred as the war progressed.
The ATS rank and file, if not always their officers, took to the new role with enthusiasm and 'Mixed' batteries and regiments with the ATS supplying two-thirds of their personnel quickly proved a success.
By late 1941 the training regiments were turning out a regular stream of Mixed HAA batteries, which AA Command formed into regiments to take the place of the all-male units being sent to overseas theatres of war.
Regimental Headquarters (RHQ) was formed on 19 January 1942 at Quedgeley Court, near Gloucester, and on 2 February three batteries were regimented with it.
These had each been formed with a cadre of experienced officers and other ranks provided by an existing unit: in the case of 496 HAA Battery this comprised a battery commander-designate, 2 other officers and 9 other ranks who were pre-war members of 79th (Hertfordshire Yeomanry) HAA Regiment in the Territorial Army (TA).
The male soldier intake of these batteries were men transferred from recently-formed Light AA (LAA) units, the majority of the personnel were women from the ATS.
By the beginning of March 1942 143rd (M) HAA Rgt had been assigned to 5th AA Brigade in 9th AA Division, responsible for defending the area around Gloucester and Hereford.
However, this battery was attached to the neighbouring 8th AA Division and was transferred again to 150th (M) HAA Rgt almost immediately.
In June there was a reorganisation of AA divisional and brigade boundaries in the West of England, and 143rd (M) HAA Rgt transferred to the command of 67 AA Bde.
474 HAA Battery joined the regiment on 29 June 1942 having left the all-male 138th HAA Rgt as a cadre and been converted into a mixed battery.
During the autumn of 1942, 143rd (M) HAA Rgt and its two remaining batteries (494 and 495) were the only units in 67 AA Bde.
The South Coast was under attack from 'hit-and-run' raids by fighter-bombers and brigade HQ was transferred on 8 November command LAA reinforcements being sent to the area.
143rd (M) HAA Regiment and the Gloucester–Cheltenham Gun Defence Area (GDA) then came under the command of 46 AA Bde at Bristol.
The commanding officer (CO) of 143rd undertook the duties of AA Defence Commander (AADC) for the GDA from his RHQ at Badgeworth Court between Gloucester and Cheltenham, with a Gun Operations Room (GOR) at Gloucester.
The regiment was joined by 589 (M) HAA Bty, formed at 205th HAA Training Rgt, Arborfield, on 19 August and regimented on 9 November; this battery took over gunsites at Swindon.
Two more batteries formed on 21 October, 620 (M) at 206th HAA Training Rgt, Arborfield, and 621 (M) at 211th HAA Training Rgt, Oswestry, joined in January, but 621 was immediately transferred on to a new 181st (M) HAA Rgt forming at Cardiff.
Apart from a raid on 17 February 1943, when about 20 enemy aircraft made a surprise attack having followed RAF bombers returning to base, there was virtually no enemy activity over 46 AA Bde's area for the whole year.
The rest of the time the gunners spent waiting or training, including training detachments of the Home Guard as relief HAA gun crews.
In March 1944, 143rd (M) HAA Rgt moved to 55 AA Bde covering the Plymouth–Falmouth area where shipping was being gathered for the Allied invasion of Normandy (Operation Overlord).
After the invasion was launched on D Day (6 June) the regiment remained in the West Country while many other units were stripped out to reinforce the South East against V-1 flying bombs or to provide manpower for 21st Army Group fighting in North West Europe.
On 4 December 1944, 589 and 620 (M) HAA Btys began to disband, completing on 7 and 18 March respectively at Torpoint, Cornwall.
This left 55 AA Bde with just two HAA batteries (494 and 495 of 143rd (M) HAA Rgt) before the brigade HQ itself was converted in January 1945 into 306 Infantry Brigade to command garrison troops in 21st Army Group.
The regiment came under the direct command of 8 AA Group, headquartered in Scotland, and then transferred to 37 AA Bde in 1 AA Group in South East England.
After VE Day the demobilisation of the ATS got under way, and on 25 August 1945 the regiment reorganised as an all-male unit.
It was joined by 228 (Edinburgh) HAA Bty from 82nd (Essex) HAA Rgt (also in 37 AA Bde), which brought it back to a normal three-battery establishment in the postwar army.
On 1 April that year it was redesignated as 75 HAA Regiment at Milton Barracks, Gravesend, equipped with 3.7-inch and 5.25-inch HAA guns.
On 15 August 1953, 288 and 289 Btys were formally placed in suspended animation (and disbanded on 1 May 1954) to resuscitate in the UK 150 Bty from 28 Coast Rgt (in Gibraltar) and 182 Bty from 51 Coast Rgt (in Aden) respectively.
On 16 June 1955, RHQ of 75 HAA Rgt and 37, 150 and 182 Btys were placed in suspended animation to resuscitate 46 HAA Rgt at Milton Barracks with 117, 124 and 126 Btys, but after service in Cyprus in 1957–58 this regiment in turn went into suspended animation on 31 October 1958.
While the male members of the regiment wore the Royal Artillery's 'gun' cap badge, the women wore the ATS cap badge, but in addition they wore the RA's 'grenade' collar badge as a special badge above the left breast pocket of the tunic.

William Silas Spanton (1845 – 27 December 1930) was a British artist, art historian and photographer based in Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk.
William Spanton Snr had established his 'Repository of Arts and West Suffolk Photographic Establishment' at 16 Abbeygate Street in Bury St Edmunds by 1864.
His son William Silas Spanton studied painting at the Royal Academy of Arts in London where he was sponsored by Sir Edwin Landseer, exhibiting there in 1867 and 1868.
When his father died suddenly in 1870 aged just 47 he was forced to abandon his studies to return to his native town to support his mother and siblings by taking over the family business as a photographer, carver, gilder and artist.
He developed the business by introducing picture framing and glazing along with the sale of art supplies while also making a successful sideline as an optician.
With his wife he had three children: the artist and suffragette Helen Margaret Spanton (1877-1934); Dorothy Spanton (1879-1925) and Arthur Pechey Spanton (1880-1916), who was killed in the Battle of the Somme during World War I.
Although forced by family circumstances to give up a career as an artist Spanton maintained an interest in painting and built up a reputation in his home area as a skilled copier of original paintings.
He and his daughter Helen Margaret Spanton were lifelong friends with the Pre-Raphaelite artist and collector Charles Fairfax Murray and his wife who often visited them at Bury St Edmunds and in London, sometimes spending Christmas with them.
Their extensive correspondence, kept at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, is of particular interest as a source of information about Charles Fairfax Murray, the Pre-Raphaelites and the Victorian art world.
His oil on canvas copy of a portrait of Augustus John Hervey, 3rd Earl of Bristol after Sir Joshua Reynolds (c1900) is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London.
In 1901 while he carried on with the family business in Bury St Edmunds his wife Sarah and daughter Helen Margaret Spanton went to live with his brother-in-law Elisha Pechey at his home in Hadley Wood in Barnet.
Spanton joined his family in Barnet where he began a new career as an artist, portrait painter and copyist in oil.
Spanton was seriously injured in a motoring accident at Blackheath on 24 December 1930 aged 85 and died of his injuries on 27 December 1930 at St Alfege's Hospital in Greenwich; in his will he left £8,269 to his daughter Helen Margaret Spanton.

William Stobbs Kirsop (1891 – after 1919) was an English footballer who played as an outside forward in the Scottish League for Kilmarnock and in the English Football League for Barnsley.
Kirsop was born in Jarrow, County Durham, in early 1891, the son of Robert Kirsop, a bricklayer, and his wife Alice.
He played local football for Rosehill Villa, Wallsend Park Villa and New Hartley Rovers before signing for Scottish club Kilmarnock in 1912.
He made his debut on 17 August in a 2–1 win at home to Partick Thistle in Division One, and scored his first goal for the club a month later in a 2–0 league defeat of Third Lanark.
At the end of the season, Kilmarnock retained Kirsop's league registration but allowed him to return to England where he signed for North-Eastern League club Gateshead Town.
He soon impressed: in October he was selected for the Rest of the League XI to face the North-Eastern League champions Darlington in an exhibition game, and by December he was being linked with a move either back to Kilmarnock or to another Scottish top-flight club, Aberdeen.
Kirsop made his English Football League debut on 2 September 1914 in a 7–0 defeat away to Derby County, and played twice more that month, but those were his last appearances in league football.
Kirsop, who had worked as a plater's labourer in a shipyard before taking up football professionally, engaged in munitions work during the First World War.
Still on Barnsley's books after the war, he was invited back for a match with Sheffield Wednesday in April 1919, but did not turn up.
Kirsop was one of many former league players who signed on for the re-formed Darlington club to play in the post-war Victory Leagues and remained with them when the North-Eastern League resumed in 1919–20.
He played in that season's FA Cup first round replay in which Darlington beat First Division Sheffield Wednesday 2–0 to progress to the last 32 of the competition.
Sam Rowbotham (6 December 1912 – 7 September 1979) was an English footballer who played as a centre forward or inside left in the Football League for Rotherham United and Darlington.
Because of injuries, Rowbotham made his first-team debut on 27 February, playing at left half in a 2–0 win at home to Hull City in the Third Division North.
Playing at inside left, he scored his first Football League goal in a 5–2 loss to New Brighton, and made one more appearance before leaving the club at the end of the season.
Although he had played little first-team football, Rowbotham had been a regular with Rotherham's reserve team in the Midland League, and when he became available he was snapped up by Midland League club Scarborough.
He went straight into the team at left half, impressed, and remained in the team for the rest of the season.
He made his debut at right half on 28 September in a 3–0 loss to Gateshead, and played once more in that position before having a run of games at the end of the season, taking over at left half from Joe Hodgson.
He played in the first four matches of the 1935–36 season, to take his appearance total to 17, after which Hodgson returned to favour.
He played regularly, missing only eight Midland League matches over the next three seasons, and continued for a further season in the 1939–40 emergency competitions.
Rowbotham worked at Peter Brotherhood's armaments factory in Peterborough during the Second World War, and played for their works team after his club closed down for the duration.

Robert Lewers (March 15, 1836 – November 3, 1926) was a businessman during the Kingdom of Hawaii, Republic of Hawaii, and Territory of Hawaii.
The two of them worked to build a lumber firm, and benefited from the influx of sugar plantation customers following the Reciprocity Treaty of 1875.
Upon the death of Christopher, Robert continued the business and in 1880, he and partner Charles Montague Cooke renamed it Lewers & Cooke, Ltd.
His cousin Christopher H. Lewers (C. H. Lewers) preceded him to Hawaii and, along with partner J. G. Dickson, established the Lewers & Dickson lumber business.
A few years later, C. H. Lewers enjoyed a sojourn on America's east coast, and returned to Hawaii on February 21, 1856, with his cousin Robert in tow.
Initially, business was modest, but the economic prosperity from the Reciprocity Treaty of 1875 trickled down to the lumber industry as sugar plantations had increasing needs for on-site construction materials.
Breaking away from the norms of businesses of that era, the new partnership stipulated in their articles of incorporation that the directors be given the discretion of making corporate contributions towards the social and religious benefit of the community.
Not being part of any political affiliations, he played no part in the Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and subsequent government changes.
However, during a period of political upheaval when Hawaiians were barred from his neighborhood, Lewers had the Christmas breakfast delivered to them.

The Union for Progressive Judaism is an affiliate of the World Union for Progressive Judaism and supports 27 progressive congregations in Australia, New Zealand and Asia.
The UPJ is represented on the major communal bodies in Australia, such as the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, the Zionist Federation of Australia (ZFA) and Zionism Victoria.
The Progressive movement has not expanded rapidly as the main sources of Jewish migrants (South Africa, the former Soviet Union and Israel) have a relatively modest tradition of Reform Judaism (Ehrlich 2009).
According to Dana Evan Kaplan, the establishment of Progressive Jewish Day school has been a factor in maintaining and stabilizing the community's numbers (Kaplan 2000).
Progressive Judaism in Australia has traditionally been more conservative in practice than its larger counterpart in the United States where Reform Judaism is the largest Jewish movement in the country (Meyer 1988).
The World Union for Progressive Judaism responded to the burgeoning interest in Progressive Judaism in Australia and supported the development of lay leadership and progressive congregations.
She returned to Melbourne and aroused interest in the movement and thus the WUPJ agreed to finance the salary of an American rabbi.
Initial progress was slow as the rabbi's radical inclinations did not win favour among a local Jewish community that valued traditions.
The Progressive movement also welcomed converts to Judaism and accepted patrilineal descent, provided the person had received a Jewish education (Meyer 1988).
This began to diminish in the nineteen-fifties as traditionalist rabbis refused to appear on the same platform as their progressive counterparts (Meyer 1988).

Many would not get involved in criminal acts or they disagreed with the dictatorial approach of Women's Social and Political Union's leadership.
By 1902 she and her daughter were members by of the Central Society for Women's Suffrage and they were joining celebrations of women's civil disobedience in pursuit of the suffrage cause.
She and her daughter joined the Women's Social and Political Union in 1906, but by 1907 they were both in the Women's Freedom League which had split from the suffragettes (the Women's Social and Political Union) and Amy was serving as a secretary for the league.

The General Electric XA100 is a three-stream adaptive cycle engine demonstrator being developed by General Electric (GE) for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning and for the U.S. Air Force's sixth generation fighter program.
The three-stream adaptive cycle design can direct air to the bypass third stream for increased fuel efficiency and cooling or to the core and fan streams for additional thrust and performance.
The U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy began pursuing adaptive cycle engine in 2007 with the Adaptive Versatile Engine Technology (ADVENT) program, a part of the larger Versatile Affordable Advanced Turbine Engine (VAATE) program.
This technology research program was then followed by the Adaptive Engine Technology Demonstrator (AETD) program in 2012, which continued to mature the technology, with tests performed using demonstrator engines.
The follow-on Adaptive Engine Transition Program (AETP) was launched in 2016 to develop and test adaptive engines for sixth generation fighter propulsion as well as potential re-engining of the F-35 from the existing F135 turbofan engine.
The XA100 is a three-stream adaptive cycle engine that can adjust the bypass ratio and fan pressure to increase fuel efficiency or thrust, depending on the scenario.
It does this by employing a third bypass stream where the engine can direct air to in order to increase fuel economy and act as a heat sink for cooling; in particular, this would enable greater use of the high speed, low altitude part of the F-35 envelope.
In addition to three-steam adaptive cycle configuration, the engine also uses new heat-resistant materials such as ceramic matrix composites to enable higher turbine temperatures and improved performance.
According to GE, the engine can offer up to 35% increased range and 25% reduction in fuel burn over current turbofans.

Agnes Burns or Agnes Galt was Robert’s eldest sister born in 1762 at the Alloway Cottage in South Ayrshire to William Burnes and Agnes Broun.
At the advanced age of forty-two, late for the times in which she lived, she married William Galt at Dinning in 1804 who had worked for her brother Gilbert at Dinning Farm in Nithsdale.
Agnes moved in 1817 with William to the Fortescue Estates at Stephenstown in Dundalk, County Louth, Republic of Ireland where he was employed to build two reservoirs to supply water to the estate gardens, orchards, grinding mill, etc.
Impressed with his work, Matthew Fortescue offered him the post of Confidential Manager on the Stephenstown Estate for the generous salary of 40 guineas per annum that also came with a tied cottage that was built for them and a plot of land for growing crops, keeping a cow or two, etc.

Dara Strolovitch is an American political scientist, currently a professor of gender and sexuality studies, African American studies, and political science at Princeton University.
She studies the politics of race, class, gender, and sexuality in the context of intersectional societal inequality, and the representation of those who are marginalized in multiple overlapping ways.
She attended Yale University for graduate school, earning an MA in political science in 1998, an MPhil in political science in 2002, and a PhD in political science also in 2002.
In 2001, Strolovitch became a professor of political science at the University of Minnesota, before moving to Princeton University in 2013.
Strolovitch uses a survey and interviews to study the political representation of interest groups, with a theory of interest group effectiveness that builds on the idea of intersectionality.
The findings of the book include evidence that already advantaged groups are better represented by interest group politics than disadvantaged groups are, and that often interest groups focus more on the legislative and executive branches of the US government than they do on the judicial branch.
Strolovitch is a member of the 2020-2024 editorial leadership of the American Political Science Review, which is the most selective political science journal.

She is the only known published female Irish weaver poet and one of the few women of the time to have poetry published in the Ulster Scots dialect.
Leech's eldest sister, who had attended school, attempted to teach her younger siblings to read, but she had very little free time.
At age 12, she was taught how to write, at the same time she started spinning linen yarn to earn a living.
In 1826 she worried that she was losing her sight, and she was unable to continue to teach or supervise children.
The farm she lived is still remembered locally and a local family, the Gilfillans, claim to have Leech's spinning wheel as depicted in the frontispiece engraving.
She also voiced her distrust of catholic priests, although it is possible she exaggerated these themes to ensure the continued support of the Church of Ireland gentleman who edited her poems before publication.
Her poems in Ulster Scots do not contain these problematic themes, and have become popular with recent promotion of the Ulster Scots language.
Some claim that nothing more is known of Leech after the publication of the volume of her poems in 1828, but other sources place her death in 1830.
She is the CEO and publisher of Ebert Digital, and was married to film critic Roger Ebert from 1992 until his death in 2013.
Ebert was born in Chicago to Johnnie Hobbs Hammel and Wiley Hammel, Sr. She attended Crane Technical High School in Chicago.
West Wales Parkway () is a planned railway station in the northern region of Swansea (), near to the boundaries of the neighbouring county of Carmarthenshire ().
The project is in the planning stages, as part of a wider Department for Transport proposal to re-open the Swansea District line () to passenger traffic.
Swansea has long been without high speed rail services due to extensive speed limits on the Swansea Loop and Bridgend () to Swansea line, set at 40mph (65 km/h) and 75 mph (120 km/h) respectively.
As part of a project commissioned by the Welsh Government, Barry has argued for either a service via the (currently freight-only) Swansea District Line, or the construction of a new line from Baglan to Swansea via the Swansea Bay coast, with a tram-train extension to The Mumbles () mirroring the historic tramway which opened in 1807, the first railway in the world.
In July 2019 the Welsh Secretary () Alun Cairns and Transport Secretary Chris Grayling launched the concept of a West Wales Parkway station, to be constructed on the Swansea District Line () near Felindre, at a cost of £20m.
Barry responded to the proposals positively, but insisted that any services would have to bypass Swansea railway station in order to see journey time improvements.

Hope Border Institute (or simply Hope) is an independent grassroots community organization which addresses issues concerning migration and the Mexico–US border.
Hope Border Institute is one of a number of organisations operating in El Paso which has been involved in recent events at the US-Mexican border concerning United States immigration policy.
Its founding was a direct result of Pope Francis's direction that the Catholic Church should dedicate greater resources to supporting migrants in the Americas.
The institute has provided support to initiatives and shelters, such as Annunciation House, which are responsible for the humanitarian needs of migrants in Ciudad Juárez.
This policy causes some asylum seekers to spend extended periods of time waiting in Mexico after arriving at the US-Mexican border with the intention of claiming asylum.
The institute has been involved in policy campaigning concerning this issue, alongside providing support for migrants affected by this policy change and leading local community groups organising against the policy.
One policy research analyist at the organisation highlighted the conditions Mexican asylum seekers endured as a result of the Remain in Mexico Policy, pointing to the freezing conditions for people sleeping beneath the three bridges between Ciudad Juárez and El Paso.
Hope Border Institute has been vocal in criticizing the Trump administration family separation policy, in part because much of this separation has occurred in El Paso.
The organisation has provided advice concerning both the details of this policy development, and how to mount effective challenges to it.
In 2017, the Hope Border Institute and the Borderland Immigration Council (BIC) launched a report detailing the human impact and moral consequences of developments concerning the United States' immigration system, and the alleged militarization of the southern border.
The Hope Border Institute has been covered in the National Catholic Reporter, Human Rights Watch, Commonweal, Time Magazine, NPR, The New York Times, and The Guardian.

The 2010 Indiana State Treasurer election was held in on Tuesday, November 2, 2010 as part of the 2010 Indiana elections, held during the 2010 midterms.
Buttigieg was the only candidate to seek the Democratic nomination, and was formally nominated at the Democratic state convention in Indianapolis on June 26.
Buttigieg was ultimately unchallenged for the Democratic nomination and was formally nominated at the Democratic state convention in Indianapolis on June 26.
He also placed limits on the amount of contributions accepted by his campaign from individuals who work at banks, refusing to accept contributions from bank employees in excess of $2,300.
This move by Mourdock had lost Indiana a large amount of money due to the restructuring of Chrysler during the company's bankruptcy.
Placing great emphasis on the potential job loss that could have occurred due to Mourdock's lawsuit, Buttigieg even had his nomination seconded at the state convention by Richie Boruff, the president of Kokomo's United Automobile Workers Local 685.
Buttigieg also argued that, had the lawsuit been successful, it would also have led to further losses in the value of the junk bonds.
Buttigieg further criticized Mourdock for choosing costly out-of-state firms to manage the lawsuit, which charged the state $2 million for their services, arguing that he could have saved money and better benefited the state by using more inexpensive in-state law firms.
Ultimately, the issue of the Chrysler junk bonds and the lawsuit against Chrysler emerged as the central issue of the campaign between Buttigieg and Mourdock.
Potential evidence of the failure of Buttigieg to gain traction on his argument about the risk of job loss that could have occurred due to Mourdock's Chrysler lawsuit was that Howard County, home to Kokomo (and 6,000 Chrysler jobs) was ultimately carried by Mourdock by a margin of 15,631 to 9,677.
Buttigieg argued that the state should only invest tax dollars in financial institutions that had demonstrated that they treat customers well, such as those that to small businesses and kept residents from losing homes to foreclosure.
He proposed setting guidelines for what banks Indiana would do business with which would include requiring that banks Indiana deposited money with had an Indiana headquarters, or have a large proportion of their employees (at least 50%) being in-state employees.
His proposed guidelines would also require that banks comply with obligations with the Community Reinvestment Act, comply with the future requirements of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and have a track record of community-oriented financial innovation (such as lending to micro enterprises).
Under the plan, money (including $100,000 million from the state's $3 billion general fund) would be deposited in local banks that agreed to lend cash at lower interest rates to local small businesses which pledge to generate or preserve jobs.
The treasurer's office would connect such businesses with lower interest loans, and the program would require that the businesses and the participating financial regularly file reports with the treasurer's office.
This would include increasing the frequency of reporting on the state's investments and its holdings, which were at the time annually reported, to at least quarterly.
Buttigieg's plans also entailed being more transparent and standardized in the decision process of where the treasurer deposited state money, including publishing online the criteria expected of financial institutions where money would be deposited.
It would also entail posting online of investment policy statements for each fund managed by the state treasurer's office, as well as information and links to outside firms managing state funds.
It would also involve an increase of public input in investment decisions, holding at least twice-annually a series of town halls.
His plans would also place a prohibition on former employees of the treasurer's staff lobbying or doing business with the office for two years after they leave.
Buttigieg argued that, by keeping better track of deposits and lending, the state could free credit up and stimulate job growth.
Buttigieg pledged that, as treasurer, he would seek to reinvest state funds in assets that were issued by companies based in Indiana wherever they would generate good returns on investment.
Buttigieg promised, if elected, to partner with the Indiana State Legislature to pass ethics standards to that would ensure that no investments would not be influenced by corporate campaign contributions.
Buttgigieg argued that wiser management of the states finances would decrease the necessity for cuts, such as those that had been recently made to education.
Buttigieg also promised that, within his first 60 days in office, he would assemble a committee that would inform his principles and develop reporting procedures.
Buttigieg argued that he could use the office of Treasurer to assist in generating economic growth in the state by making investments in state assets and depositing state money in the banks most likely to recirculate dollars to local communities.
In what was seen to be shaping up as a Republican wave election, Buttigieg hoped he could attract ticket splitting voters.
Mourdock defended his investment in Chrysler junk bonds, claiming that junk bonds had actually been the best-performing assets in the state's investment portfolio.
I think most Hoosiers were opposed to seeing our pensioners getting ripped off, which is exactly what happened.” Mourdock collaborated with governor Mitch Daniels on an op-ed in early June The Wall Street Journal defending the lawsuit.
Mourdock advertised his role as Chairman of the Indiana Wireless Enhanced 911 Advisory Board, proclaiming that such work demonstrated his commitment to public safety.
Moudrock also advertised his role Chairman of the Indiana Education Savings Authority, arguing that it demonstrated his commitment to promoting education and college savings.
Mourdock responded to criticism by Buttigieg of his investing by publicizing that the state treasurer's had earned $480 million in the 2010 fiscal year.
Mourdock's candidacy was seen as benefiting from running in a very republican-favorable election cycle and from being in a Republican-leaning state, making the strong favorite to win.
Mourdock was the state's top vote-getter, receiving a greater number of votes than any other Indiana candidate in the 2010 elections.
Langrishe Place, Methodist Chapel or Langrishe Hall was a Methodist Chapel established in Langrishe Place, Summerhill, Dublin, it was to provide a place for the congregation from the Free Church, Great Charles Street, Dublin (called the Wesley Chapel), which was too big for their numbers.
Originally set up in a rented premise in Langrishe Place in 1825, enlarged in 1830, the premises along with two houses were purchased and the chapel was rebuilt in 1835.
And used as a schoolhouse, today it is used by Talbot motors, the gothic styled gable wall still standing and a protected structure stands at the end of Langrishe Place.
In 1882 the congregation moved to a United Methodist Church on (the Primitive Wesleyans ending the schism from the Wesleyan Church) Jones Road, Clonliffe, Drumcondra (facing what is now Croke Park), along with the congregation from Oriel Street.
The playwright Sean O'Casey worked as a janitor at No 10 Langrishe Place, which had been the methodist chapel, it had subsequently been a parish dispensary, a school and the branch of the Irish National Forresters Society.

Mark Ellis (born 4 February 1945) is an American-Canadian naval architect, who has designed sixteen production sailboats, along with many custom sailboats and powerboats.
He applied for a degree program in naval architecture at the University of Michigan but decided not to pursue it when he discovered that it mostly focused on large ship design, instead of small boats, which was where his interests lay.
He raced Dragon keelboats and became an instructor at the Clayton Yacht Club in Clayton, New York and the Crescent Yacht Club in Chaumont, New York.
He quickly became a project manager for three custom boats being built in West Germany, using his business training to act as the liaison between the customer and the yard building the boats.
With the birth of his first child Ellis and his wife decided to move away from New York City and so Ellis went on to work for Ted Hood at Little Harbour Boat Yard in Marblehead, Massachusetts, where he designed sailboat rigs as well as accommodation and deck plans.
In 1970 Ellis and his family then moved to Canada where he worked in the design office at C&C Yachts under George Cuthbertson and George Cassian.
Ellis decided to leave C&C and form his own design firm, Mark Ellis Design LLC, located in Oakville and later with offices in Essex, Connecticut.
Ellis' first design commission was the Aurora 40, but his second boat was the Nonsuch 30, a cruising catboat for customer Gordon Fisher.
Whereas many designers would design for a one-time payment for the rights, Ellis retained the rights to each of his designs and was paid for each individual boat completed.
His contracts also gave him control of the tooling for the design, if the original manufacturer ended production or went out of business, allowing his designs to be more easily moved to a new manufacturer.
His first design was the Limestone 24 for customer Fred Eaton , which was constructed by Hinterhoeller Yachts in St. Catharines, Ontario.
Built in 1996, it incorporates many style elements from the past, including a raked stem, a raised counter transom, with a long overhang, a low freeboard and a powerful rig.
I don't like trendy, boxy boats, though I can see the reason behind them, like stretching waterlines, but I've never liked bad aesthetics for no good reason.
In 2003, when Ellis was 58 years old, he was living in Oakville and actively sailing and powerboating, still maintaining the family vacation home in the Thousand Islands.

Sex World (stylized as SexWorld) is a 1977 American pornographic science fiction film directed by Anthony Spinelli and written by Spinelli and Dean Rogers, from a story by Spinelli.
The film primarily takes place at a fictional resort known as Sex World, where individuals can live out their secret sexual desires and overcome their inhibitions with the help of android sexbots.
A group of people board a charter bus headed to Sex World, a resort where individuals can stay for three days and nights, and have their sexual fantasies be fulfilled.
Among the passengers are a painter named Joan Rice and her husband Jerry; a woman named Millicent and her submissive, impotent partner Ralph; and the lonely and introverted Lisa, who recalls an experience in which she wore a blonde wig and had phone sex with a man she did not know.
The passengers are handed questionnaires and are informed that, in order to guarantee privacy, they are prohibited from fraternizing with each other at the resort.
The bus arrives at Sex World, and that night, the visitors each sit down with individual counselors to be interviewed about their sexual desires.
Unbeknownst to the visitors, the discussions are being monitored by a control room of technicians whose jobs are to ensure the fulfillment of their fantasies.
In his private room, a white visitor named Roger encounters Jill, a black woman he saw on the bus to Sex World.
Millicent then engages in rough intercourse with Phil—who describes himself as being programmed to have stamina—while Ralph watches them through a one-way mirror.
Ralph is then led away to another room by Ann, who manages to give him an erection, and the two have sex.
Later, she receives a knock on the door of her room from a man who says that he saw her when she arrived, and that he wants to be with her.
Meanwhile, Roger attempts to bribe a Sex World employee into allowing him to stay at the resort again, but the employee refuses the offer.
This release, which features a 4K restoration of the film from its original 35 mm camera negative, was limited to 1,500 units.
Ali was born into a Bengali Muslim family from the Kathalkhair village of the Sylhet District in the British Raj's North-East Frontier.
At the age of 18, Ali left Sylhet Government School in class 10 moving to Calcutta where he worked alongside Bipin Chandra Pal.
In the 1920s, Ali was a sailor for the British Raj and jumped ship in the United States in search of employment.
On January 1937, Ali united all of the various unions (namely the Indian Quartermaster’s Union, Bengal Mariner’s Union, Seamen’s Welfare League of India and Karachi Seamen’s Union) under one large federation known as the All-India Seamen's Federation.
During a visit to London in 1933 for the Round Table Conference, not only did he represent the interests of Indian seamen but also Indian labourers, film-extras and peddlers in the United Kingdom.
Ali also had a good relationship with Krishna Menon and was invited by Menon to the Glasgow Trades Council meeting on August 23.
Ali was also known to have visited Dundee before proceeding off to Switzerland with Faiz Ahmad Faiz and Abdul Mannan Chaudhury for the International Labour Conference in Geneva where he put forward the proposal for a 56-hour week at sea and a 48-hour week at port balance for Indian seamen.

The Shops at Foothills, formerly Foothills Fashion Mall and Foothills Mall, is a shopping mall in Fort Collins, Colorado, United States.
The mall's anchor stores are Dick's Sporting Goods and Macy's; other major tenants include Forever 21, H&M, Nordstrom Rack, Ross Dress for Less, and a Cinemark movie theater.
Leslie G. Everett, owner of Fort Collins, Colorado real estate company Everitt Enterprises, purchased the land that would become Foothills Fashion Mall in 1968 with the intention of developing it for commercial and residential use.
At the time, the city of Fort Collins was undergoing significant population growth, which led to an increased demand for retail.
Sears, which at the time had only a catalog merchant store downtown, was looking to build a full-scale department store along College Avenue (U.S. Highway 287).
The Denver Dry Goods Company (The Denver), a department store based in Denver, Colorado, had also expressed interest in opening a store along College Avenue.
At the time of purchase, Everitt Enterprises was not considering development of a shopping mall, but agreed to the concept after a meeting with representatives of The Denver.
Due to difficulty in obtaining sufficient resources with the mall, Everitt Enterprises formed a joint venture with Phoenix, Arizona-based shopping mall developer Westcor, to begin construction in 1972.
Sears and The Denver would serve as the anchor stores along with May-Daniels & Fisher (May D&F), also based out of Denver.
Sears and The Denver were the first two stores to open for business, respectively opening on August 9 and 10, 1973.
By the mall's one-year anniversary in late 1974, all but seven of the fifty-three retail spots within the mall were occupied, and the overall mall had more than 450 employees.
In response to mall traffic, the city of Fort Collins widened College Avenue and installed a traffic signal at the mall's entrance.
Gary Haxtun, then-vice president of Everitt Enterprises, noted that at the time, nearly 25 percent of mall customers were from Wyoming.
An expansion begun in 1987 and completed in 1989 expanded the mall from to ; in addition, The Denver closed in 1987 and was sold to Mervyn's which opened in 1989.
Mervyn's closed in 2005 and J. C. Penney moved to a larger store in 2006, while Foley's was sold to Macy's.
General Growth Properties had bought the mall in 2003 and had announced renovation plans following the closure of J. C. Penney and Mervyn's, but these plans were complicated by a difficulty in finding suitable tenants, along with General Growth's bankruptcy filing in 2010.
Renovation included demolition of portions of the mall, along with the addition of Cinemark movie theater, Nordstrom Rack, and Ross Dress for Less.
Despite the renovation, the revived mall felt short of sales expectations and was only 77 percent leased by 2018, but mall developers noted that stores were still being opened at the time.
One year later, the mall remained only three-quarters occupied, with developers noting that one factor was the existence of tenants that do not generate significant tax revenues, such as yoga studios and nail salons.

Denise Walsh is an American political scientist, currently a professor of political science and women, gender and sexuality at the University of Virginia.
She studies the relationship between women's rights and political inclusion and level of democracy, as well as women's advancement during periods of democratization.
She completed an MA in political science at Columbia University in 1986, and a PhD in political science from the New School for Social Research in 2006.
In 2005, she became a professor at the University of Virginia, where she was also a co-founder of the Power, Violence and Inequality Collective, which she co-directed from 2016-2019.
The book confirms and advances findings that democratization does not generally increase women's participation in politics, as political institutions and parties often block women's advancement during these transitions.
However, by introducing a new variable regarding debate conditions, and by means of paired comparisons of particular periods of democratization in Poland, Chile, and South Africa, Walsh shows that open and inclusive conditions for debate during democratization periods can increase the state's support for advancements in women's rights and inclusion.
Walsh has published on women's representation and rights in democracies in journals like Politics & Gender, PS: Political Science & Politics, and Comparative Political Studies.
Walsh is a member of the 2020-2024 editorial leadership of the American Political Science Review, which is the most selective political science journal.

The public image of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan concerns the image of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, current President of Turkey, among residents of Turkey and worldwide.
The refugee crisis originating from the Syrian civil war lowered the ratings of Erdogan in Europe, while maintaning high support in the Arab world.
Erdoğan is the most popular world leader for Arab youths, according to the results of a poll, carried out by the Arab Barometer research network for BBC News Arabic.
Kısakürek was regarded by some analysts, such as Günther Jikeli and Kemal Silay, as the source of his views on Jews.
When during a televised press conference he was asked if he believed a presidential system was possible in a unitary state.
However, the Turkish president's office said that Erdoğan was not advocating a Hitler-style government when he called for a state system with a strong executive.
Furthermore, that the Turkish president had declared the Holocaust, anti-semitism and Islamophobia as crimes against humanity and that it was out of the question for him to cite Hitler's Germany as a good example.
As President, Erdoğan has overseen a revival of Ottoman tradition, greeting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas with an Ottoman-style ceremony in the new presidential palace, with guards dressed in costumes representing founders of 16 Great Turkish Empires in history.
This proved controversial, since it was perceived to be an open attack against the republican nature of modern Turkey founded by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
Many critics have thus accused Erdoğan of wanting to become an Ottoman sultan and abandon the secular and democratic credentials of the Republic.
When pressed on this issue in January 2015, Erdoğan denied these claims and said that he would aim to be more like Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom rather than like an Ottoman sultan.

Archimede was the lead ship of her class of four submarines built for the (Royal Italian Navy) during the early 1930s.
The boats were armed with eight torpedo tubes, four each in the bow and in the stern for which they carried a total of 16 torpedoes.
They were also armed with a pair of deck guns, one each fore and aft of the conning tower, for combat on the surface.
The premiership of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan began on March 14, 2003, when the first Cabinet headed by Erdoğan was sworn in by the Turkish Parliament.
The AKP won a sweeping victory in the 2002 elections, which saw every party previously represented in the Grand National Assembly ejected from the chamber.
In the process, it won a two-thirds majority of seats, becoming the first Turkish party in 11 years to win an outright majority.
Erdoğan, as the leader of the biggest party in parliament, would have been normally given the task to form a cabinet.
However according to the Turkish Constitution Article 109 the Prime Ministers had to be also a representative of the Turkish Parliament.
Erdagan, who was banned from holding any political office after a 1994 incident in which he read a poem deemed pro-Islamist by judges, was therefore not.
It survived the crisis over the 2003 invasion of Iraq despite a massive back bench rebellion where over a hundred AKP MPs joined those of the opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) in parliament to prevent the government from allowing the United States to launch a Northern offensive in Iraq from Turkish territory.
Later, Erdoğan's ban was abolished with the help of the CHP and Erdoğan became prime minister by being selected to parliament after a by-election in Siirt.
The AKP has undertaken structural reforms, and during its rule Turkey has seen rapid growth and an end to its three decade long period of high inflation rates.
On April 14, 2007, an estimated 300,000 people marched in Ankara to protest the possible candidacy of Erdoğan in the 2007 presidential election, afraid that if elected as President, he would alter the secular nature of the Turkish state.
Erdoğan announced on April 24, 2007 that the party had decided to nominate Abdullah Gül as the AKP candidate in the presidential election.
At the same time, Erdoğan claimed the failure to elect a president was a failure of the Turkish political system and proposed to modify the constitution.
The AKP achieved victory in the rescheduled July 22, 2007 elections with 46.6% of the vote, translating into control of 341 of the 550 available parliamentary seats.
Although the AKP received significantly more votes in 2007 than in 2002, the number of parliamentary seats they controlled decreased due to the rules of the Turkish electoral system.
Territorially, the elections of 2007 saw a major advance for the AKP, with the party outpolling the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party in traditional Kurdish strongholds such as Van and Mardin, as well as outpolling the secular-left CHP in traditionally secular areas such as Antalya and Artvin.
Overall, the AKP secured a plurality of votes in 68 of Turkey's 81 provinces, with its strongest vote of 71% coming from Bingöl.
Abdullah Gül was elected President in late August with 339 votes in the third round – the first at which a simple majority is required – after deadlock in the first two rounds, in which a two-thirds majority is needed.
The result of the elections was a third consecutive victory for the incumbent Justice and Development Party (AKP), with its leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan being re-elected as Prime Minister for a third term with 49.8% of the vote and 327 MPs.
The victory was attributed to the strong sustained economic recovery after the 2008 global financial crisis as well as the completion of several projects such as the İzmir commuter railway, inter-city high speed rail lines and airports in Amasya, Gökçeada and Gazipaşa (Antalya).
The first significant cases of election fraud under Erdoğan's rule were documented during the 2009 local elections, where numerous cases of ballot paper theft were reported in Ankara and Adana.
In the 2011 general election, a minivan containing ballot papers with a pre-stamped vote for the AKP was impounded by police in İzmir.
Substantial levels of fraud were documented during the 2014 local elections, including the theft and burning of ballots cast both for and against the AKP and the intimidation of officials counting the votes, including European Union Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, by government forces.
Several cases of opposition votes being counted as invalid and vote totals per ballot box being recorded incorrectly also caused controversy.
With an unusually high number of power outages occurring throughout the country while votes were being counted, the government was ridiculed when Energy Minister Taner Yıldız blamed them on cats entering transformers.
The Supreme Electoral Council ordered a repeat of the election in Yalova and Ağrı, both of which the AKP had initially narrowly lost to the CHP and BDP respectively.
Despite strong surveillance by citizens during the 2014 presidential election, no serious cases of fraud were documented during the voting or counting process.
However, Erdoğan was still heavily scrutinised over what was perceived to be excessive media bias in his favour during the campaigning process.
Erdogan's pro-EU government instituted several democratic reforms such as giving the European Court of Human Rights supremacy over Turkish courts, diminishing the powers of the 1991 Anti-Terror Law which had constrained Turkey’s democratization, and passing a partial amnesty to reduce penalties faced by many members of the Kurdish terrorist organization PKK who had surrendered to the government.
In 2009, the Turkish government under Prime Minister Erdogan announced a plan to help end the quarter-century-long conflict that has cost more than 40,000 lives.
The government’s plan, supported by the European Union, allowed the Kurdish language to be used in all broadcast media and political campaigns, and restore Kurdish names to cities and towns that have been given Turkish ones.
Such measures, many of which have been required for entry to the European Union, were inconceivable in the early 1980s, when aggressive state policies prohibited use of the Kurdish language and other cultural and political rights for the Kurds.
Erdogan tried to attract more foreign investors to Turkey and lifted most of government regulations, with the average GDP growth rate 7.3% during his premiership.
On March 2006, the Supreme Board of Judges and Prosecutors (HSYK) for the first time in Turkey's history held a press conference and publicly protest the obstruction of the appointment of judges to the high courts for over 10 months.
On May 2007, the head of the top court in Turkey has asked prosecutors to consider whether Erdogan should be charged over critical comments regarding the election of Abdullah Gul as president.
The Turkish parliament agreed to reduce the age of candidacy to the parliament from 30 to 25 and abolished the death penalty in all instances, including war time.
Turkey’s three social security bodies were united under one roof, bringing equal health services and retirement benefits for members of all three bodies.
Under the second bill, everyone below the age of 18 will be entitled to free health services, irrespective of whether they pay premiums to any social security organization or not.
On January 2008, the Turkish Parliament adopted a law on a complete prohibition of smoking in the most of the public places.
In December 2013, Turkish police detained more than 50 people and arrested 16 others, including the general manager of Halkbank and the sons of three government ministers, on charges of corruption.
Although Erdoğan blamed foreign ambassadors and pro-Erdoğan newspapers accused the United States or Israel of a plot, outside analysts attribute the arrests to a power struggle between the Prime Minister and Fethullah Gülen.
Erdoğan reshuffled his Cabinet on 25 December, replacing 10 ministers hours after three ministers, whose sons were detained in relation to the probe, resigned.
A file containing five audio recordings of conversations between Erdoğan and his son from a 26-hour period beginning 17 December 2013, in which he appeared to be instructing his son to conceal very large amounts of money, was posted to YouTube and widely discussed on social media.
On the night of 26 February 2014, Turkey's Parliament, dominated by Erdoğan's Justice and Development Party, passed a bill that allowed the government the power to block Internet sites, subject to court review within three days, and granting it access to Internet traffic data.
Another bill previously approved by a parliamentary committee would grant the MİT intelligence service access to data held by the government, as well as private institutions and courts.
The following day President Abdullah Gül approved placing an investigative agency that appoints judges and prosecutors under the control of Erdoğan's justice minister.
Hours later the telecommunications regulator BTK blocked DNS service to the site, citing four court orders the Turkish government had made requiring them to remove content to preserve privacy that had not been heeded.
However, the block of Twitter proved ineffective, with traffic increasing a record 138%, and #TwitterisblockedinTurkey becoming the top trending term worldwide.
To circumvent the block, Google suggested Turks use Google Public DNS at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, numbers which were soon graffitied in dozens of locations around Istanbul.
Two months later, on 3 June, Turkey's telecommunications watchdog ordered the ban to be lifted, after a ruling by the Constitutional Court.
Erdoğan supported the continuation of Turkey's high population growth rate and, in 2008, commented that to ensure the Turkish population remained young every family would need to have at least three children.
Erdoğan has stated that he opposes Turkey's high and growing rate of caesarean section births because he believes that they reduce the fertility of Turkish women, and he is in favor of limiting the number of such births in Turkish hospitals.
Davutoğlu was the chief foreign policy advisor of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan before he was appointed foreign minister in 2009.

Originally founded to be the steward of the 1774 Alexander Rock House, the museum has since expanded its scope to cover all periods of Charlotte's history with exhibits covering everything from the history of music in the city to the experiences of soldiers from Charlotte during the 1st World War.
In 1943, then owner of the 1774 Rock House Mr. Eugene M. Cole donated the structure and surrounding farm to the Western North Carolina Annual Conference of the Methodist Church for a planned retirement community known as the Methodist Home, now called Aldersgate.
In 1949, the Daughters of the American Revolution leased the house and some of the surrounding land from the Methodist Home in hopes of preserving it.
The Hezekiah Alexander Home Foundation was formed in 1969 to better facilitate fundraising and renovations for the house, and eventually raising $200,000 to help continue restoration.
The home site was called Mint Museum of History until November 1985, when the Mint Museum finished work on expansion that would allow all operations to move to Randolph Road.
On October 13, 1986, the Mint Museum voted to go along with the city council's plan to move the museum to the city's parks and recreation department.
This resulted from complaints that the Mint Museum lacked interest in history, but the change also would allow the Mint Museum to focus on fine arts rather than history.
Late in 1993, the Charlotte Museum of History moved its archives and a 5000-piece historical collection, divided among many locations, into a 1500-square-foot addition to its 5000-square-foot building.
The Museum is home to the 1774 Alexander Rock House along with several outbuildings which are a five minute walk from the rear of the main building with tours of the House's interior given on the hour.
Completed in 1774, the Rock House is the oldest building in Mecklenburg County and was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.
The home is notable not only for its age, but also because it was home to supposed signer of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, Hezekiah Alexander.
The Siloam School is a historic Rosenwald School which the Museum is in the process of restoring and plans to move to museum grounds.

The Ascension-Caproni Historic District encompasses a mixed collection of late 19th and early 20th century architecture along Washington, Newcomb, and Thorndike Streets in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.
Including religious, residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, it encapsulates the area's transition from industrial to residential uses between about 1850 and 1930.
The Ascension-Caproni Historic District is located in Boston's Lower Roxbury area, extending along the south side of Washington Street between East Lenox Street and Thorndike Street, and along Newcomb and Thorndike Streets.
The former Church of the Ascension, now the Grant AME Church, is a locally unusual Gothic Revival building, built in 1892 out of yellow brick.
Industrial buildings include the office, showroom, and studios of the Caproni Brothers Plaster Casting Company, a firm noted for its reproduction casts of classical Greek and Roman statuary, based on original museum pieces and exhibited in Symphony Hall, Boston among other locations.
The Lower Roxbury area was agricultural during the colonial period, and was first intensively developed in the mid-19th century as a mixed residential and industrial area, its housing serving workers at nearby factories.
The commercial Washington Street corridor in this district developed to serve that population, with the Church of the Ascension built to serve the large Irish immigrant population.
The street was home to military activities of the foot soldiers of the British Raj in the 19th century, deriving its name from the military barracks situated near it.

Julia Harwood Caverno was born on 19 December 1862 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to the Reverend Charles and Abbie H. S. Caverno.
In 1912 she was promoted to the Head of Greek, a position she held until her retirement as John M. Green Professor in 1931.
In 1905 she was the only woman selected to be on the founding committee of the Classical Association of New England.
Caverno published on the role of the messenger in Greek tragedy and on Homer, but published more widely on the teaching of Greek in universities.
She was concerned with how the study of Greek could be promoted across all stages of education, and particularly how acting and drama could help students understand Greek literature.
Her sense of values, her keen judgement, and above all her inimitable humour and wise acceptance of life caused young and old alike to seek her counsel.
After Caverno's death her family and her students established the Julia Harwood Caverno Prize for excellence in Greek, which has a prize fund today of $2000.

Despite this, he provided an authoritative voice in manpower decisions at the executive levels of the Navy, Department of Defense and before the Congress.
Despite the pressure of austere funding coupled with a decreasing force, Guinn's deep concern for the morale and welfare of Navy men and women has been manifested in the many programs he sponsored to increase compensation eligibility, educational opportunity, promotion opportunity, and career attractiveness.

The background to these events is that Cosroe had previously defeated his opponent Asbite, king of Cambaia, and had his family murdered.
For this purpose, she has disguised herself as a man and found her way into Cosroe's court under the assumed name of Idaspe.
The following plot summary is based on the second version of the setting by Johann Adolph Hasse, performed in Dresden in 1763.
Before he announces his choice, he extracts an oath from both of them to recognize his decision and keep the peace.
Siroe wants to warn his father about Emira/Idaspe's revenge plan, but in order not to reveal his lover’s identity, he writes an anonymous letter.
Medarse now claims that he wrote the letter himself and that the traitor was none other than Siroe, who he says wanted his help to murder their father.
When Emira/Idaspe points out that he has not yet disclosed the name of the conspirator, Siroe explains that it might even be Idaspe himself.
With Cosroe now lost in thought about his son, Emira sees an opportunity to attack him and pulls out her own sword.
He is ready to forgive him for wanting to seduce Laodice, seeking Idaspe’s death and planning an uprising if only he will divulge the name of the traitor.
Only when he declares that he also wants to forgive the traitor too does Siroe begin to speak but he is interrupted by Emira/Idaspe.
Now Cosroe thinks Siroe wants his death and asks him to kill him – but Siroe does not wish to do that either.
Cosroe now has Laodice brought and gives Siroe an ultimatum: if he tells Idaspe the traitor’s name, he will be named heir and have Laodice.
Emira asks Arasse to kill her, but he confesses to her that he has only faked the death of Siroe, who is still alive.
Because he does not yet know her true identity, she shows him the royal seal as proof of the king’s trust in her.

Greek cafés were a significant cultural phenomenon in the history of Queensland, Australia, arising from a chain migration from Greece to Australia.
Almost every town in Queensland had a Greek café, and as many as ten operated in larger towns like Ipswich and Toowoomba during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s—the heyday of the Greek café.
Cafés were routinely open from 7am to midnight seven days a week, meals were cheap, portions were generous, and the menu was mostly the same countrywide.
Although operated by Greek families, Greek food was not served in these cafes which sought to appeal to the tastes of the Anglo Australian commmunity.
When other Greek people heard cafes in Australia were doing well, it prompted others, mostly under 25 years old, to leave Kythera.
The popular pattern was for Greek migrants to arrive in Sydney and earn some money working in existing Greek food establishments, before travelling to country New South Wales or Queensland to establish their own businesses.
After 1900 the Comino family moved into Bundaberg, Childers, Mackay, Cairns, and Emerald, making Comino cafes almost as conspicuous in Queensland as they were in New South Wales.
By the start of World War II over 10,000 Greeks had settled in Australia and the Kytherians, who by then constituted about 22% of the total, remained by far the dominant regional group.
The largest group of pre-World War II Queensland Greeks were also from Kythera, the most significant being the Comino, Coronis and Freeleagus families.
Although much larger numbers of Greeks would move to Australia after World War II, the earlier immigrants carved out a niche in Australian cultural history by giving rise to the institution of the Greek Cafe, which acted as the social hub of many country towns until the 1960s.
In 1916 a census of Australian Greeks revealed that, of the 176 Greeks in Brisbane, 140 worked in cafes and related trades.
During the 1910s changes in cafe design occurred which produced the layout common from the 1920s to the 1960s: at the front was a display window, then a refrigerated milk bar, with pantry and confectionery counter, and then a dining room, with a kitchen at the rear.
Cafes profited from the growth of the popularity of picture theatres as they fed patrons at intervals and after the show.
Increased use was made of cubicles to separate the dining tables, and more decoration was added, as an elegant interior could be translated into increased prices.
She married the artist Christopher Shearer who abandoned her and their sons to study in Europe, and whom she subsequently divorced.
Despite frequent brushes with the law and serving at least one jail sentence, she was financially successful and able to buy property and keep a fancy carriage.
In the 1890s, the women of her house were the subjects of a secret collection of photographs made by local photographer William Goldman that was published in book form in 2018.
She married the landscape painter Christopher Shearer (1846–1926) who abandoned her and their sons Victor and Bernard to study in Europe and whom she subsequently divorced.
Her profession often brought her into conflict with the forces of law and order and she regularly appeared in the Reading newspapers for criminal matters, often when local politicians were running for office with promises to clamp down on vice.
In 1890 she appeared in court in connection with a case in which it was alleged that she had been threatened with prosecution if she did not pay a member of the Fehr family a bribe.
She did not pay and was prosecuted for running a disorderly house and for selling alcohol without a licence, which charges she settled by paying $203.
Shearer stated that she did not instigate the case and it originated in a separate prosecution by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania of John L. Fehr for extortion.
She was released in March 1899 after serving the full term and left with Carrie Kalbach who had been convicted of the same offence.
Despite these brushes with the law, Shearer prospered and was able to buy a house for her sons and a black carriage with tassels and Belgian lace curtains.
In the early 1890s, the women in her brothel were the subjects of a secret collection of photographs made by William Goldman that was discovered by the historian of photography Robert Flynn Johnson around 2010 in the stock of a postcard dealer in Concord, California.
In 1907 it was revealed in proceedings against the alleged brothel-keeper May Reilly for illegally selling liquor on a Sunday, that Shearer had leased her house on Eighth and Walnut Streets to Reilly for five years from May 1905, possibly indicating a reduction in activities.
Agents of the Law and Order Society of Philadelphia testified that they had bought liquor from her and Shearer on that day and in that place on multiple occasions in 1906.
Shearer died of diabetes on 1 October 1909 at her home at 1138 North Eleventh Street after being ill for several years.
It was based in the Hamersley Range and had an office at Tambrey Station until the 1940s, met at Coolawanyah Station in the late 1940s, and met at Wittenoom from the 1950s.

The Proclamation of Independence of Morocco (, ), also translated as the Manifesto of Independence of Morocco or Proclamation of January 11, 1944, is a document in which Moroccan nationalists called for the independence of Morocco in its national entirety under Muhammad V Bin Yusuf, as well as the installment of a democratic, constitutional government to guarantee the rights of all segments of society.
Free France then retook control of the a largely collaborationist colonial administration sympathetic to Philippe Pétain, which bode well for Moroccan nationalists.
Sultan Muhammad V of Morocco, who was a de facto prisoner of the colonial administration, though he had made no public gesture of sympathy toward Nazi Germany, and had protected Moroccan Jews from antisemitic policies, received confirmation from President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the Casablanca Conference of January 1943, that the US would support the independence of Morocco when the war was over.
On December 18, 1943, those who were still free among the old guard of the National Party outlawed by the French administration in 1937—whose previous leaders such as Allal al-Fassi, Muhammad Hassan el-Wazzani, et al.
The Proclamation of Independence of Morocco was originally drafted by Ahmed el Hamiani Khatat and Ahmed Bahnini, attorneys of the party, and revised and amended by their colleagues.
On January 11, 1944, with the outcome of World War II still uncertain to all but the most perceptive, 66 Moroccans signed the public proclamation demanding an end to colonialism and the reinstatement of Morocco's independence, an enormous risk at the time.
The main nationalist leaders of all origins united around the Proclamation of Independence, forming a real political movement, representative of a wider segment of Moroccan society, urban and rural.
Among the signatories were members of the resistance, symbols of a free Morocco, and people who would become key figures in the construction of the new Morocco.
The reaction was immediate: great pressure upon Sultan Muhammad V to publicly condemn the Proclamation, as well as the detention of signatories and known nationalist activists.
On the night of January 28, Ahmed Balafrej, secretary general of the Istiqlal Party, as well as his associate Mohamed Lyazidi, were arrested in Rabat under the pretext of sharing intelligence with Axis powers.
The sultan also started to become an important national folk symbol, delivering the symbolic Tangier speech April 10, 1947 and being forced exile on the eve of Eid al-Adha August 20, 1953.

Deesis with Saint Paul and Saint Catherine is a 1520 oil on panel painting by Giulio Romano, now in the Galleria nazionale di Parma.
Its title refers to deesis, a subject in Christian iconography, shown here with Paul of Tarsus and Catherine of Alexandria in the lower register and the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist in the upper.
Sources state the work was on the high altar of the monastery church of San Paolo in Parma since at least the mid 17th century and possibly earlier, though it is unknown how the work first came to the city.
It may have been commissioned around 1520, possibly by abbess Giovanna da Piacenza, who also commissioned frescoes for her private Camera della Badessa from Correggio.
This is supported by the work's chosen saints - the church was dedicated to Paul and the monks had a strong devotion to Catherine.

In 1925 he took his division of light cruisers as a part of the U. S. Fleet on their visit to Australia.
Although he had been aware that his magazine article had not met with the approval of some naval officials, he stated that he hoped the matter would be straightened out.
Secretary Wilbur’s stated that the order to Magruder was not ‘punitive’, but ‘administrative.’ Rear Admiral R. H. Leigh, chief of the bureau of navigation, made public correspondence, between the department and Magruder following his critical magazine article.
Leigh said Admiral Magruder had either evaded or answered unsatisfactorily the 13 questions put to him by the department in its request for information to support Magruder’s article.
Rear Admiral Julian L. L. Latimer, president of the naval examining board and former judge advocate general of the navy, will succeed Magruder at Philadelphia, although planshad been made to give him command of the Brooklyn navy yard.
Under the date of 19 October, Secretary Wilbur asked Admiral Magruder to verify that he had stated that the navy is spending $3 million a year and getting $2 million worth of navy.
On 27 October, Secretary Wilbur announced at his daily press conference that after a conference with the Chief Executive at the White House, President Coolidge denied Admiral Magruder’s request for a personal interview and revocation of the recall order.
The Secretary stated that he believed this was the first time that an officer of Magruder’s rank had gone over the head of the navy secretary in an appeal to the President.

It then become part of United Engineering Forgings (UEF) which in 2000 and 2001 was sold on to Wyman Gordon and Bifrangi, who now operate on the Smith-Clayton Forge site.
In 1929 Smith’s Stamping Works of Coventry had purchased the Clayton Forge which was adjacent to the Abbey Works of Clayton & Shuttleworth on Spa Road in Lincoln.
The Kestrel engines were used in the Hawker Fury and Hawker Hart and the Merlin in the Hawker Hurricane and the Supermarine Spitfire.
In 1938 an Erie 8,000-lb steam hammer was installed which made it possible to produce motor car crankshafts more rapidly and also aircraft components including the crankshafts for the Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah engines which were used extensively in British training aircraft.
Airscrews and crankshafts continued to be made for Hurricanes and Spitfires and also for the Rolls-Royce Vulture engines, and also many of the parts of the Napier Sabre engines.
As the Abbey Works was unaffected by Luftwaffe bombing during the war, it was able to keep up a very high level of aircraft engine and other aircraft casting production during the war.
After the war profits, largely resulting export, from motor vehicle and aircraft parts, enabled the company to purchase the extensive equipment that the UK Government had installed for wartime defence production and a healthy profit in the Company’s trading accounts was reported in 1948. .
In 1950 Mr H M H Fox, the works superintendent spent six weeks in the USA studying forging techniques and this resulted in an immediate increase in productivity.
At the time the UEF division was manufacturing forged engine discs, engine shafts, and airframe and landing-gear components, primarily for Rolls-Royce.
In November 2001 the Lincoln site, along with UEF Automotive – Sheffield, were purchased by an Italian Company, who formed Bifrangi UK Ltd. Bifrangi then sub-let part of the site to Wyman Gordon.
The firm has built a new 7,000 square metres press house to accommodate a 32,000 tonne percussion screw press, which is the biggest forging press in the world, unique in its type, that allows closed die forging up to 1000-kilogram and 3-metre pieces.
This facilitates the forging of large micro alloy steel-based parts in addition to opening up new markets forging Aluminium, super alloys and more exotic materials.
The largest counterblow hammer (900KJ) in Europe, is at the heart of the operation, capable of manufacturing hot die forging of Aerospace, Powergen, Oil & Gas and Nuclear components (asymmetric forgings, discs, shafts and valve bodies), forging at temperatures of up to 1340°c.
The hammers are supported by a Zdas 630 controlled pull down press which is utilised in the manufacture of pre-forms for asymmetric structural parts and long aero engine shafts.
Wyman-Gordon is a leading forging company for the world aerospace and energy markets from high grade titanium and nickel based alloys.
These are used for jet engines, including fan discs, compressor disks, turbine discs, shafts and also titanium and steel forgings for airframes.

Usually, they are announced as part of the New Year and Canada Day celebrations and are published within the Canada Gazette during year.
This follows the custom set out within the United Kingdom which publishes its appoints of various British Honours for New Year's and for monarch's official birthday.
However, instead of the midyear appointments announced on Victoria Day, the official birthday of the Canadian Monarch, this custom has been transferred with the celebration of Canadian Confederation and the creation of the Order of Canada.
However, as the Canada Gazette publishes appointment to various orders, decorations and medal, either Canadian or from Commonwealth and foreign states, this article will reference all Canadians so honoured during the 2015 calendar year.
Provincial Honours are not listed within the Canada Gazette, however they are listed within the various publications of each provincial government.

She won the 1936 Olympic Rally, the first and last time after 1900 that an automobile race was part of the Olympic Games.
She was also the grand-niece of Field Marshal Douglas Haig, commander of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) on the Western Front from 1915 to 1919.
At 14 she bought her first motorised vehicle; a surplus 2¾ hp Douglas motorcycle, and at the age of 16 Haig bought her first car with a gift of £50 from a Great Aunt.
This car was destroyed in a fire, and Haig earned money towards the cost of its replacement, an Austin 7 Sports, by selling her story to the press at £10 each.
The same year that the Austin was purchased she first did a lap at Brooklands in boyfriend Dennis Spragg's Talbot 8.
Other purchases on her return to England included a variety of cars, including a second Morgan and a variety of MGs.
In the early 1930s (the year is reported to have been either 1930 or 1933), Betty crashed her Morgan Super Sport on the Kingston bypass, killing passenger Molly Watkins.
The first race Haig entered was the Junior Racing Drivers Club Speed Hill Climb Chalfont St Peter in 1934, which she ran with her recently acquired Singer Nine Le Mans, registration AKV 795.
The duo completed the race, and Haig's report to Singer on the car's performance earned her factory support for return to the event in 1936, which she drove solo but suffered a gearbox failure during the race.
Haig's first appearance at an event held on a racing track was in 1935 at the JCC High Speed Trials, where she drove her Aston Martin.
In 1936 Haig won a gold medal for finishing first in the Olympic Rally held in conjunction with the 1936 Summer Olympics.
A Delage had caught fire while at speed and as driver Joseph Paul tried to exit the track his car was struck by the Darracq driven by A. C. Lace, sending the burning Delage through the fencing and down into the off-track area.
During this period Haig was also driving open-wheeled single-seaters, racing a Cooper 1000 in 1950 and a Cooper 500 the next year.
Haig was also a charter member of such clubs as the Frazer Nash car Club and the Porsche Club of Great Britain.
Haig is memorialised by events such as the Triple-M Register's Betty Haig Cup for best racing performance of the year, the Betty Haig Memorial Trophy for the fastest time by a lady competitor in a racing car at Prescott, and the AC Owners' Club's Betty Haig Trophy for fastest lady member on handicap at Goodwood.
Over the course of her life Haig owned a large number of vehicles, with one magazine article reporting that she had owned more than 60 cars by the mid-1960s.
The list included both road cars and purpose-built racers, with representatives from marques like A.B.C., A.C. Cars, Alvis, Aston Martin, Austin, Austin-Healy, BMW, Bugatti, Cooper, Elva, Frazer Nash, H.R.G., Healey, Jaguar, Lotus, MG, Morgan, Morris, Salmson, Singer, Triumph, and Turner, among others.
The company specialized in home appliances, releasing the ZUG washing machine in 1915, the first unimatic automatic washing machine in 1950, and tumble dryer in 1959.
Haag Streit comprised more than 20 companies with about 900 employees and develops products for the ophthalmology (diagnostics, surgical microscopy), pulmonology, and optics fields; the company was acquired to form Metall Zug's medical devices division.
The Gašinci military training grounds is a Croatian Army training base located 10 kilometers from Đakovo, in the region of Slavonia, Croatia.
Prior to being used by the Croatian Army, the Gašinci military training grounds was built and used by the Yugoslav Peoples Army (JNA).
Captured by Croatian forces in the early days of the Croatian War of Independence, from 1991-95 Gašinci served as the Croatian Army's primary live-fire training centre.
In 2013, a 21-year-old soldier Marko Zalović was killed when he was run over by a M-84 main battle tank that unexpectedly veered from its route and killed the young soldier who was in a trench by the road.
The eastern portion is dedicated to administrative command buildings, training facilities and sports fields; while the western area, which covers 2,100 hectares, is a dedicated training area.
Smaller than the Eugen Kvaternik military training ground near Slunj, the Gašinci complex covers an area of 7.5 x 5 kilometers and is best suited for training individuals and smaller groups at the company and battalion level.
Gordon Norton Ray (8 September 1915, New York City – 15 December 1986, Manhattan) was an American author, professor of English, and collector of English and French illustrated books and autographed letters from the Victorian era.
Ray was an instructor in English at Harvard University from 1940 to 1942 and then in 1942 enlisted in the U.S. Navy as an apprentice seaman.
At the University of Illinois, he was a professor of English from 1946 to 1957, also serving as head of the English department, and vice president and provost from 1957 to 1960.
He was from 1960 to 1963 the associate secretary general and from 1963 to 1985 the president of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.
At the Low Memorial Library on the Columbia campus, his collections formed one of the main sources of a Benjamin Disraeli exhibition in 1981.
In addition to her full-time job as a quality assurance tester, Kinema volunteered as a games industry organizer in 2018 and 2019.
She was hired by the Communications Workers of America union in 2020 to organize games and tech workers, the first American initiative of its kind in those sectors.
In addition to her full-time job as a quality assurance tester for an Orange County, California-based game developer, Kinema volunteered with Game Workers Unite to organize the video games industry.
This volunteering, which she estimated as 60 hours per week, included giving and receiving training and was supported by crowdfunded monthly income.
Kinema and games writer Liz Ryerson were the main figures behind the initial expansion of Game Workers Unite in early 2018.
Kinema helped to organize a panel on labor at the March 2019 Game Developers' Conference and in May, helped to organize the walkout at Riot Games over its handling of sex discrimination.
She assisted Riot workers in creating an organizing committee after they attended a 2018 Game Workers Unite meeting and further advised the organizers via phone.
In January 2020, Communications Workers of America hired Kinema to organize workers in the video game and tech industries, the first such union-sanctioned initiative in those sectors.
She plans to use the Communications Workers of America's infrastructure to fight issues including crunch time, layoffs, and workplace ethics, which she has contended as working conditions for employees who choose employers based on ability to make societal impact.
In early 2020, Kinema said that she was involved with almost every video game worker unionization drive in the United States.
Her name is a pseudonym chosen so that she could continue working in the games industry without risking dismissal or reprisal under at-will employment.
Founded during events surrounding the March 2018 Game Developers' Conference, the flat organization has grown to over a thousand members across more than 20 international chapters.
Game Workers Unite has supported actions including Riot Games's 2019 walkout over sex discrimination and social media campaigns against CEOs who executed layoffs.
Game Workers Unite co-founder Emma Kinema was hired by the Communications Workers of America to organize workers in the video game and tech industries in early 2020, the first American initiative of its kind in those sectors.
Their goal is a single union for all developers, including programmers, artists, designers, and producers, with subgroups within the union representing disciplines.
They have argued that working conditions will only improve when studio managers are forced, and that workers cannot wait for managers to set realistic deadlines, fairer hiring practices, and to keep those promises.
They also seek to show the emphasize the humans and conditions behind the making of games and have argued that, allied with consumers, workers can fight business practices that concern gamers, such as gambling-based gameplay mechanics.
Some of the largest issues motivating the industry's organizing efforts include crunch time, when developers work overtime to finish a project in its last weeks, and social issues such as diversity and inclusion in the predominantly white and male industry.
In March 2018, the collective evolved from a private game developers Facebook Group to a Discord server where over 100 games industry members congregated.
Within a few weeks, Game Workers Unite was officially founded and its membership quickly rose from less than 10 to about 300.
Membership was about 600 by November 2018, and in the thousands across over 20 international chapters by mid-2019, including cities such as Los Angeles, Montreal, North Carolina, San Francisco, and Vancouver.
The group keeps its members' employers private, has no official membership count, and does not announce its nascent campaigns, though at least 12 were in progress as of late 2018.
When considering its strategy, the group first met with media unions such as the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild before reaching out to smaller games communities.
They hoped to build relationships with established unions and local developer communities before expanding to the global industry and collaborating with groups like the International Game Developers Association.
The group saw the breadth and volume of roles in the games industry as posing potential difficulty for a single union strategy.

H. S. K. was born in the village of Haleyuru near the picturesque tourist locale of Chunchanakatte in K. R. Nagar taluk of Mysore district, India.
H. S. K. had his initial schooling in Siddapura school at Kempegowda Koppal (village) before moving to Dalavayi and Banumaiah High Schools at Mysore.
H. S. K. completed his Intermediate qualification at Mysore and moved to Central College, Bangalore (then under the University of Mysore) in 1940 for his L. Com (Commerce degree) qualification.
During the next three years of his L. Com studies at the Central College, H. S. K. scored good marks and thus secured free boarding at the Ramakrishna Student Home (as a scholarship).
In this period, he came into contact with stalwarts of Kannada literary movement like B. M. Srikantaiah, G. P. Rajarathnam and D. V. Gundappa.
He completed his Bachelor's degree in Economics & Commerce studies in 1948 and joined National High School, Bangalore as a teacher.

His next biographical work was on the Indian Film Director, Producer and Cinematographer B. R. Panthalu and this was published in 1979.

GOLOG is a high-level logic programming language, developed at the University of Toronto, for the speciﬁcation and execution of complex actions in dynamical domains.
In GOLOG language the interpreter of the programming language automatically maintains a direct characterization of the dynamic world being modeled, on the basis of user supplied axioms about the preconditions and effects of actions and the initial state of the world.
In contrast, fifth-generation programming languages like Golog are working with an abstract model which is able to generate the sequence of actions by request.
In addition to a logic-based action formalism for describing the environment and the effects of basic actions, they enable the construction of complex actions using typical programming language constructs.
Beside that it is considered perfect for applications in high level control of robots and industrial processes, virtual agents, discrete event simulation etcIt can be also used to develop BDI (Belief Desire Intention)-style agent systems.

The Bou Jeloud Mosque is a historic mosque in the former Kasbah of Bou Jeloud, located near Bab Bou Jeloud, in Fes, Morocco.
At the time, the fortifications of Fes had not yet been rebuilt since their destruction by Abd al-Mu'min, the Almohad ruler who conquered the city in 1145.
The site of the mosque was in an area that was likely the site of the former Almoravid citadel on the western outskirts of Fes, on a plateau above the rest of the city.
These westernmost districts were quite distant from the main Friday mosques at the center of the city (the al-Qarawiyyin and the Andalusian Mosque).
In the 19th century, under the Alaouite sultans, the minaret was repaired and further heightened, while the entrance doorways were remade in their current style.
In the rectangular floor plan of the original mosque there were three aisles and rows of arches to the west, east, and south of the courtyard, while on the north side was a single aisle forming a gallery.
The Wattasid-era expansion, however, added an irregular quadrilateral extension to the west, with an oblique outer wall, making the overall floor plan today asymmetrical.
The original entrance of the mosque was likely located on this same axis, on the opposite northern side of the mosque; however, the Marinid-era minaret appears to have been built on this location, blocking the original entrance, and other entrances were opened up instead to the west and east.
The arches of the mosque are horseshoe-shaped, but the arches at the corners of the courtyard are polylobed and have a more pointed overall profile, a feature of Almohad origin.
The entrance portals of the mosque today are decorated with stucco carvings and wooden canopies that date from the Alaouite era.

The Gilberts of Compton were a noted Anglo-Norman family of knightly class, having seats at both Compton Castle and Greenway Estate, Devon, England.
A popular story is that the Gilberts descended from Gilbert, Count of Brionne, through his sons Richard Fitz-Gilbert and Baldwin Fitz-Gilbert.
While the Fitz-Gilbert brothers were active in Devon, there is no evidence to suggest that their progeny became the Gilbert family.
This claim is especially dubious considering the name Fitz-Gilbert was not, at that time, a hereditary surname under the Norman naming system.
Though surnames at that epoch were rare in Europe, it is possible that the surname Gilbert existed at that time as evidenced by Guillaume I Gilbert, Bishop of Poitiers from 1117 to 1124.
Many have possessed lands here: in the Confessor's time Gilbert; after Sauls, Horton, Le Moyn, and others”, itself based on entries in the Domesday Book.
What is more demonstrable is that the male line leading to the Gilberts of Compton likely rose from obscurity with the marriage of a William Gilbert of Devon to Elizabeth Champernowne of Clist, a descendant of William the Conqueror, sometime in the first few decades of the 13th century.
Little is known of the family's activities during the Middle Ages aside from Sir Otho Gilbert of Compton serving as High Sheriff of Devon from 1475 to 1476.
Most famous among these were the half brothers Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Walter Raleigh, both famous explorers of the New World and perhaps infamous military figures in Ireland due to their military exploits there.
Their lesser-known brother, Sir Adrian Gilbert of Compton, was nonetheless of the same cloth, having an especially savage military reputation in Ireland while also seeking a Northwest Passage to China under a patent from Queen Elizabeth I.
Another brother, Sir John Gilbert, was Sheriff of Devon, knighted by Elizabeth I in 1571, and was Vice Admiral of Devon – responsible for defense against the Spanish Armada.
He was killed by a group of Algonquians during a voyage the following year in search of the missing Roanoke Colony.
In 1607, Sir Humphrey Gilbert's son, Raleigh Gilbert, established a fortified storehouse he called Fort Saint George on the coast of Maine.
It is said that they were so resolute in this goal that they built a ship to facilitate the return voyage, which would probably have been the first oceangoing vessel built in America.
Later, brothers Jonathan and John Gilbert would have a hand in establishing Hartford, Connecticut, acting as emissaries between the Governor in Hartford and the local indigenous tribes.

Hazel Chu is an Irish politician who sits on Dublin City Council and is a member of the Green Party, of which she is it's Cathaoirleach (Chairperson).
She was the first Irish born Chinese person to be called to the Irish bar, although ultimately she never practised as a barrister.

She topped the local poll, receiving 32.3% of the first preference vote, which was considered an overwhelming amount for a first time candidate.
Subsequent to her council victory and the media attention around it, Chu became a target of racist online harassment, particularly on twitter.
Justin Barrett, leader of the far-right fringe group the National Party, indicated that if he ever got into power, he would strip Chu of her citizenship.

The Fisher-Zugelder House and Smith Cottage, at 601 N. Wisconsin St. in Gunnison, Colorado, are two houses listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
The two houses, built during 1880-81, were the first stone houses in Gunnison, at the cusp of the town's development out of the camp phase, in the typical Colorado mining town development phases (exploration, settlement, camp, and town).
The camp phase was short, from c.1879 into 1881, as tents and temporary structures were replaced by frame structures, supported by sawmill operations.
This is in what was described as at the time (1 GHz - 3 GHz), but is now termed the and frequency bands.
Changing the control voltage, without requiring any mechanical adjustment, could produce a high-power jamming signal which could be adjusted rapidly to jam any radar frequency.
Later on, as the aircraft switched to operating at extremely low level, this gave a ground coverage patch barely larger than the aircraft's shadow.
Equipment was mounted in a series of sealed cylindrical drums, each weighing around 200 lbs, the limit of what could be manhandled for servicing.
A water-glycol cooling system, the Vapour Cycle Cooling Pack (VCCP), was used to cool the equipment, with a large external cooling air intake.
From 1958 to 1963 operated as a dedicated ECM squadron, having been formed from the -equipped C flight of , which had developed the role post-war.
The initial intention for these aircraft was that they would be used for training UK air defences, simulating a Soviet ECM-using threat.
Any idea of a war role for them, as an ECM escort for an attack force of Valiant bombers, developed later.
The Carpet 4 (ARI 18030, AN/APT-5) spot jammer, had been trialled in Lincolns and also the 18 Squadron Valiants, but it was unreliable and ineffective, so never used.
The Valiant and first Vulcans had a 112 V DC electrical system, although the trials aircraft had a more powerful 240 V AC system.
The DC system was not powerful enough to supply active ECM, such as Red Shrimp, and so those aircraft were limited to the radar warning receivers and chaff dispensers.
Nick Prager, a Czech-born sergeant with the BCDU in the ECM servicing section of the base, together with his wife Jana, supplied photographs of the ECM manual set to the .
As it became clear that the new low-level penetration role would involve bombers travelling singly, each bomber would need its own ECM fit.
The squadron retained a development and training role for some time, but this could be performed by simpler aircraft, such as s, than the Valiants and so 18 Squadron was disbanded in 1963.
The original had a fairly simple ECM fit, with little more than chaff dispensers and the tail warning receiver from the Canberra and Valiant.
Additional equipment could be carried along the side walls of the bomb bay, in a series of up to nine containers.
These included the Green Palm VHF voice communications jammer, Indigo Bracket, an early carcinotron-based jammer, and Red Carpet X-band radar jammer.
The engines at this time had insufficient electrical generating capacity for such an ECM fit and so an internal ram air turbine was fitted, as for the trial Valiant WP214.
This Turbo Alternator TGA 30 Mk 1 was mounted internally and driven by an air inlet near the port engine air intake.
The end of this was now a hemispherical radome for the Red Steer tail-warning receiver, rather than the pointed cone of the B.1.
The nine sealed and pressurised drums of the ECM equipment were arranged in two rows within this tail, with access through hatches in the bottom.
ECM was a planned part of the new B.2 aircraft with their extended Phase 2C wing, and although there was great urgency to the delivery of the new B.2 aircraft and the first would arrive before the first B.1A, the simpler conversion would permit thirty ECM-equipped aircraft to enter service more quickly than a similar number of B.2s.
After the Nassau Agreement at the end of 1962, Britain's primary nuclear deterrent was to switch to the Royal Navy and the submarine-launched .
A combination of this change of role, and the increasing effectiveness of Soviet anti-aircraft missiles at high altitude, led to the V-bomber force being re-tasked from a high-level attack to a profile with a low-level approach.
At low level, they were masked by the same terrain which the aircraft was using to shield itself and so the area over which they could radiate became inconsequentially small.
The anticipated Argentinian threat of , AA cannon and were expected to be capable of defeating it, at least at close range.
From the twenty four B.1A conversions, the Victor had the same EW fit as the Vulcan, with Red Steer, Blue Saga, Green Palm, Blue Diver, Red Shrimp and chaff dispensers.
Design studies during the early development of TSR2 recommended the provision of an X-band carcinotron, such as Red Shrimp, in the aircraft, or at least the provision of space for one.
Naval / Air Staff Target 830 for future jamming provision was still under consideration at the time the TSR2 project was cancelled.
Controls for Red Shrimp, the control unit Type 9422, were simple and amounted to little more than switches to turn it on and off, to switch the two automatic operating modes, and to monitor its performance, current draw and temperature.
It was controlled by a small panel on the AEO's lower desk, at the right of the rear cockpit (facing the rear).
On the eastern bank of the River Tame, it is currently represented by 3 Labour Party councillors, who sit on the Metropolitan Borough Council.
It is located on a small plain, the Apiti Flats, close to the valley and gorge of the Oroua River, and close to the foot of the Ruahine Range.
Although its industry has historically always been pastoral farming, it is now also known by tourists and trampers as a gateway to the Ruahine Range.

However, because those game were against professional hockey clubs, the losses did not harm the Elis as far as the Intercollegiate season went.
When they did play their fellow colleges, starting in mid-January, Yale's recent embarrassment against the pros may have lit a fire under them because the Bulldogs torched their next three opponents.

Carss Bush Park is a nature reserve and urban park located at 74 Carwar Avenue, in the Sydney suburb of Carss Park, Georges River Council, New South Wales, Australia.
This land speculation was to continue for another two years with sales in June 1854 to John Chappellow, for A£538 and in September 1855 to Lewis Gordon possibly in default of a mortgage.
Located within the park in the heritage-listed Carss Cottage, believed to have been built by December 1865, when Carss changed his address to the 'George's River, Kogarah'.
The house is reputed to have been constructed by the Scottish masons who had been employed in the construction of Edmund Blacket's University of Sydney buildings.
The stone was reported to be quarried on site from a huge rock in the vicinity of the present-day Norfolk Island pine tree.
On Mary Carss' death in 1916 the cottage was bequeathed to the Sydney Sailors' Home apparently in accordance with her father's wish.
The portion that wasreserved for park purposes was opened and dedicated on Australia Day 1924 and the remaining 374 suburban lots were offered for sale that day.
In September 2019 the George River Council announced news on the progress of a contraction of an environmentally friendly seawall, made of sandstone, that will operate as an intertidal rock platform, and a piered boardwalk and small boat ramp in the park.
Cheakamus Mountain is a glacier-clad peak located in the Garibaldi Ranges of the Coast Mountains, in Garibaldi Provincial Park of southwestern British Columbia, Canada.
The Diavolo Glacier spreads out below the north aspect of the peak, and precipitation runoff from the peak with meltwater from the glacier drains into tributaries of the Cheakamus River.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Cheakamus Mountain is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.
Nanwang water division system ( or ) is a historical system for management of the water in the Grand Canal in the Shandong province in China.
Emperor Yongle (r. 1402–1424) moved the Ming dynasty capital from Nanjing to Beijing which increased the need for traffic along the Grand Canal.
The passage through Shandong Peninsula (Huitong Canal) was only to be crossed with great difficulties because the water level was often not high enough and sluices were necessary and passage through sluices.
When the system was completed it could adjust the water flow of the canal so the needed transports could be controlled.
In the middle go the 15th century additional sluices was built north and south of Nanwang and levees was erected around the reservoirs.
Today the Nanwang water division system is an archaeological site and the excavations began in 2008 when 4,000 square meters were excavated.
The area around Nanwang was the highest point for the historical Grand Canal, and with beginning 1411 the Nanwang water division system was created to control the water flow.

After the appearance of the and the in 2012 caused by the death of Hung Chung-chiu, Lai began to participate in many social movements in person.
During Chen Deming's 26 November 2013 visit with Chairman of Straits Exchange Foundation Lin Join-sane, more than 20 students from the Black Island Youth Front, dissatisfied with Chen's pressure on the Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement, planned to hold a placard to protest near the foundation headquarters.
They immediately clashed with the police there; Lai was surrounded alongside two other female students by ten female police officers, and was dragged by the police all the way to the headquarters before letting go.
In an interview on the same day, she said that the effects of relative cheapness of Chinese labor and the easing of environmental laws will cause Taiwan's industry to stagnate the salary level of Taiwan's labor in comparison with mainland China.

Etta Doane Marden (April 20, 1851 – March 23, 1946) was an American Christian missionary in Turkey from 1881 to 1925.
Doane was commissioned by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in 1881, in Boston, to be Congregationalist teacher in Turkey.
She remained there from 1881 to 1825, serving first in Marash (Maraş), and later at a school in the Gedik Pasha (Gedikpaşa) quarter in Constantinople.
The Gedik Pasha station offered meetings and vocational training for women, in addition to Bible lessons for men and women, a coffeehouse, public lectures, and a school for children and youths.
She left Constantinople to spend a health leave in Switzerland in the summer of 1917, and was giving lectures in the United States the following spring.
Boutilier v. Immigration and Naturalization Service, 387 U.S. 118 (1967), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court upheld Clive Michael Boutilier's deportation from the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 due to his history of homosexual activities.
The decision was abrogated by the Immigration Act of 1990, which rejected sexual orientation as a basis for excluding an individual from immigration.
In 1955, at the age of 21, Clive Boutilier immigrated from his native Canada to the United States with his family.
In 1963, he attempted to apply for American citizenship, and in his application, he revealed to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) that he had been arrested on a sodomy charge in New York City in 1959.
In a subsequent meeting with an INS investigator, Boutilier revealed additional details about his sexual history, which included consensual same-sex activities both before and after he entered the United States.
After receiving this certificate, the INS initiated deportation proceedings against Clive Boutilier based on the exclusion criteria laid out in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.
Boutilier declined an opportunity to submit to a personal examination by PHS doctors, but he had instead offered letters from two different psychiatrists that both concluded that he was not a psychopathic personality as was understood by medical professionals.
The first psychiatrist that he consulted, Dr. Edward Falsey, concluded that Boutilier had a psychosexual problem for which he was now beginning treatment, but that he showed no signs of psychosis and, in his professional opinion, there was no risk that Boutilier would develop psychosis in the future.
On August 5, 1965, the INS concluded their investigation into Boutilier and ordered that he be deported from the United States and returned to Canada.
On January 12, 1966, his appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals was dismissed after they concluded that his deportation order was valid.
On June 2, 1966, Clive Boutilier's case was argued before the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit before judges Leonard P. Moore, John Joseph Smith, and Irving Kaufman.
In this opinion, Kaufman discussed the legislative history of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 to support the government's claim that Congress had intended to consider homosexuals as excludable.
In his opinion, Kaufman rejected the idea that the void-for-vagueness doctrine applied as the exclusion criteria was not meant to regulate conduct by prospective immigrants, but rather, it was meant to exclude immigrants with certain characteristics.
Therefore, it did not matter whether or not it was reasonable for Boutilier to understand that homosexual activities were grounds for denial of entry into the United States.
From here, he started a discussion about the prevalence of homosexual behavior in society, citing the Kinsey Report assessment that 37% of Americans have had at least one homosexual experience, indicating that homosexual behavior alone would be too broad a criterion for exclusion.
He contended that it was applicable to this case because, based on the examinations performed by the two private psychiatrists, it is reasonable to believe that Boutilier could have changed his behavior prior to immigration were he aware that homosexual behavior could be used to exclude him from immigration to the United States.

The Houston Astros sign stealing scandal is a controversy in Major League Baseball (MLB) stemming from members of the Houston Astros organization illicitly stealing signs of opposing teams using technology during the 2017 and 2018 seasons.
MLB opened an investigation into the allegations and in January 2020 confirmed that the Astros illegally used a camera system to steal signs during the 2017 regular season and postseason, during which they won the World Series, as well as in part of the 2018 season.
MLB found no evidence of illicit sign stealing in the 2019 season, in which the Astros advanced to and lost in the World Series.
As a result, the Astros were fined $5 million and forfeited their first- and second-round picks in the 2020 and 2021 drafts.
General manager Jeff Luhnow and field manager A. J. Hinch were suspended for the entire 2020 season for failing to prevent the rules violations.
MLB's investigation also determined that Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora helped mastermind the Astros' sign stealing while serving as Hinch's bench coach in 2017.
Carlos Beltrán, who had been hired to manage the New York Mets in November 2019 and was the only player from 2017 who was specifically named in the report, also mutually parted ways with the Mets in the same week.
The sanctions were the most severe that MLB has ever issued against a member club and are among the most severe sanctions for in-game misconduct in baseball history.
While MLB does not specifically ban electronic equipment, it issued a memorandum in 2001 stating that teams cannot use electronic equipment to communicate with each other during games, especially for the purpose of stealing signs.
In 2014, as part of the expansion of replay review in MLB, all 30 teams were permitted to install video replay rooms in their stadiums with live camera feeds, and the dugout was permitted to communicate with staffers in the room.
As MLB realized that teams were potentially using the video replay room for other purposes, including sign stealing, MLB placed league officials in the replay rooms for the first time beginning in the 2018 playoffs.
Prior to the 2019 season, MLB reached an agreement with the MLB Players Association to institute new rules restricting the use of live camera feeds by placing a league official in all 30 replay rooms, and allowing only replay officials to watch in real time while others could only watch with an eight-second delay.
After defeating the New York Yankees in the 2017 AL Championship Series, they defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series.
The Cleveland Indians caught an Astros employee taking pictures of their dugout during the 2018 AL Division Series and warned the Red Sox, who faced the Astros in the AL Championship Series.
The New York Yankees asked MLB to investigate whistling sounds that they believed were meant to relay signs to batters in Game 1 of the 2019 AL Championship Series, but MLB said they found no wrongdoing.
The Yankees also reportedly alleged that the Astros were using blinking lights beyond the center-field fences to relay stolen signs in Game 6 of the series.
The Nationals developed a complex system of mixing signs to thwart any attempts to steal signs by the Astros in the 2019 World Series.
The Astros were not the only team to be suspected of sign stealing; paranoia about electronic sign stealing was high around the league.
Mike Fiers, a pitcher who played for the Astros in 2017, stated that a center-field camera feed was sent to the tunnel behind the Astros dugout in Minute Maid Park.
An Astros player or staff member then hit a trash can to signal specific different pitches to the batter at home plate.
During a game against the Chicago White Sox, banging could clearly be heard whenever White Sox catcher Kevan Smith called for pitcher Danny Farquhar to throw a changeup.
There was also speculation that the Astros had developed more advanced ways to relay stolen signs to hitters, including buzzing bandages affixed to a player's body.
Hinch appeared at a press conference during the annual Winter Meetings and said he was cooperating with MLB but declined to comment further.
During the investigation, it was publicly reported that witnesses admitted that the Astros used a system to relay pitch types to batters.
On January 13, 2020, Manfred announced the results of the investigation, confirming that the Astros had illegally used a video camera system to steal signs in the 2017 regular season and postseason, and in parts of the 2018 regular season.
The report detailed that two months into the 2017 season, Alex Cora, Carlos Beltrán, and an group of unnamed players worked to create a system to steal signs.
The players initially experimented with clapping, whistling, and yelling, but determined banging a trash can with a bat was most effective.
In addition to the banging method, Astros employees in the video room would also decode signs and send information to the dugout to be relayed to runners on second base who would relay signs to the batter.
The Astros did not use the banging method in 2018, but continued to use other methods until players decided it was no longer effective and stopped at some point in the 2018 season.
The Astros were fined $5 million, the maximum allowed by the MLB constitution, and forced to forfeit their first- and second-round draft picks in 2020 and 2021.
Manfred found that while Luhnow didn't know about the players' role in the scheme, he should have made it his business to know about the players' activities, especially in light of earlier sign-stealing scandals.
The investigation found that Hinch did not approve of the use of the replay monitor in this manner, and even destroyed it on two occasions.
The only longer suspension was for St. Louis Browns manager Jack O'Connor, who was banned for life for trying to throw the 1910 American League batting title to Nap Lajoie by bribing the official scorer to change a hit on error to a hit in the final game of the season.
A day later, on January 14, 2020, the Boston Red Sox and manager Alex Cora – who was the Astros' bench coach during the 2017 season – mutually agreed to part ways as a result of his involvement in the scandal.
The investigation found that Cora was closely involved in implementing the scheme, as well as using the replay room to decode signs.
Based on those findings, both Cora and Red Sox officials concluded that Cora could not effectively lead the team into 2020 and beyond.
Although Manfred deferred a decision on discipline for Cora until after a separate investigation into video sign stealing during the Red Sox's 2018 championship run, it was widely expected that he would receive a lengthy suspension, at least as long as the one-year suspension meted out to Hinch.
On January 16, 2020, the New York Mets and manager Carlos Beltrán – who was an Astros player during the 2017 season – mutually agreed to part ways after Beltrán was the only then-player called out by name for his involvement in the scheme.
Four pitchers agreed to be quoted anonymously; three put the blame for their fates on their own performance and a fourth saw the allegations as an explanation for why Astros players seemed to be more comfortable at the plate at home.
Reaction from current and former players around the league to the MLB report was mixed, with some players expressing disdain towards the Astros and others expressing ambivalence.
After being criticized herself for going after Fiers, Mendoza backtracked and said that she wished Fiers had made his allegations privately with MLB.
Alex Bregman and Jose Altuve appeared before the media at the Astros annual fan festival in Houston the week the report was released.
ESPN conducted a survey of 1,010 adults, including 810 MLB fans, asking about the scandal on January 16 and 17, 2020.
Fifty-eight percent of adults said Astros players should have been penalized, and 72 percent of adults said they would support additional steps by MLB to punish players involved in sign stealing.
Forty-nine percent of adults said the steroid scandal was more serious than the sign stealing scandal, but 44 percent said the sign stealing scandal was worse than Pete Rose gambling on his own team.
Seventy-four percent of adults and 76 percent of MLB fans said they believed most teams were using technology to steal signs, but only the Astros and Red Sox were caught.
Fifty-four percent of adults said their views of MLB were unchanged by the scandal and 60 percent of adults said the scandals made no difference in their likelihood to watch MLB games.
The Los Angeles City Council passed a resolution in January 2020 calling on MLB to strip the Astros of the 2017 World Series title and award it to the Dodgers.
US Representative Bobby Rush from Illinois released a letter calling on the chairman of the US House Committee on Oversight and Reform to open a congressional investigation into the scandal along with MLB's response.
An Astros fan named Tony Adams reported that he watched 58 Astros home games from the 2017 season and documenting banging noises.
He found and published evidence of the trash can banging on 1,143 of 8,274 pitches thrown to Astros hitters, hearing the most banging noises during at-bats of Marwin Gonzalez, George Springer, Carlos Beltran, and Alex Bregman and the fewest banging noises during Jose Altuve's at-bats.
The release of the report sparked a new frenzy of speculation and rumors on the internet the week the report was released.
A Twitter account of a person claiming to be Beltran's niece made accusations about non-Astros players around the league; Beltran's family said the account was fake and some speculated that it actually belonged to a player.
Rumors also circulated that Astros players were wearing buzzing electronic devices during the 2019 playoffs that would relay a stolen sign through vibrations.
The project was aimed to create a sports, road-going car that could be sold in significant numbers to a wealthy customers in an image of Porsche 550 Spyder.
Because Fantuzzi usually realised designs of others, the 150 GT Spyder's lightweight aluminium bodywork was mainly inspired by the work of Pietro Frua, with elements also found on Zagato-bodied Maseratis.
The car featured a convertible soft-top with roll-up side windows and was RHD just like the race car it was based on.
The planned production would be too complex and expensive to bring any profit to the company that already decided to move towards the 3500 GT project.
In 1993, the 150 GT along with an O.S.C.A were traded to a German collector in exchange for his Aston Martin DB4 GT.
After 2006, the car was extensively restored over a three-year period and was later sold by Gooding & Company for US$3 million in 2013.
After an extensive research by the marque historian Adolfo Orsi, it was determined that the chassis originally belonged to the 1954 Maserati A6GCS and was numbered 2043.
Later, after a couple stages of development, the chassis was used for a prototype Maserati 300S, now restamped as 003, that also spawned an improved version of their developed 150S and 200S tubular frame.
It was later reused again to create a sports car prototype, the 150 GT, this time as a serial number 03.
The final iteration of the chassis had to be revised to accept the 150S racing engine, a gearbox casing from A6G/2000 road car and 200S prop shaft.
The front independent suspension with coil springs and Houdaille hydraulic shock absorbers remained mostly unmodified from their original A6GCS race car specification.
She then moved on to become a lecturer in the Department of Education in Cork and finished as a Professor of English in University College Cork.

Stephen Barnabus Kelleher (1875–1917) was an Irish mathematician who served as Erasmus Smith's Professor of Mathematics at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) from 1914 to 1917.
Kelleher was born 11 June 1875 at 25 King Street, in Cork City, to William Kelleher (an accountant) and Helena Walsh.
Moving to Dublin, he took another mathematics degree at TCD (BA 1902, large gold medal), where he has been a Scholar in 1900 and became a Fellow in 1904 (and MA 1905).
In 1910 he was appointed assistant to the Professor of Natural Philosophy there, and in 1914, he was appointed Erasmus Smith's Professor of Mathematics.
Kelleher was on the Royal Commission to draw up a plan for the establishment of a university in Ireland that would be satisfactory to Catholics.

The Desagüe was the hydraulic engineering project to drain Mexico's the central lake system in order to protect the capital from persistent and destructive flooding.
Flooding continued to be a threat to the viceregal capital, so at the start of the seventeenth century, the crown ordered a solution to the problem that entailed the employment of massive numbers of indigenous laborers who were compelled to work on the drainage project.
Not until the late nineteenth century under Porfirio Díaz (1876-1911) was the project completed by British entrepreneur and engineer, Weetman Pearson, using machinery imported from Great Britain and other technology at a cost of 16 million pesos, a vast sum at the time.
The dike was in place when the Spanish conquered Tenochtitlan in 1521, but major flooding in 1555-56 prompted the construction of a second dike.
Post-conquest damage to the surrounding watershed by the cutting of trees and the silting of the lake likely exacerbated the existing tendencies toward flooding.
Flooding in 1604 and 1607 damaged buildings in the capital and crown officials took steps to devote capital and labor into solving the problem.
Since forced indigenous labor was a resource that the crown could draw on, thousands of indigenous men were put to work digging a tunnel to divert flood waters.
The Netherlands were part of the Spanish Hapsburg Empire, so it is not surprising that a Dutch expertise was brought to bear.
In the decade of the greatest crisis, the crown $1.5 million pesos on the Desagüe, with the labor of an untold number of indigenous workers, but certainly numbering in the tens of thousands.
It was inaugurated with great fanfare in 1900, touted as one of the great achievements of the modern era in Mexico.
With Mexico City's location at the low point of the basin of Mexico, drainage of rainwater, industrial waste from tanneries and abattoirs, and human sewage concentrated there.
Awareness that such pollution posed a risk and was a major impediment to Mexico's project of modernization, the daunting task was to find a solution.
Although flood waters had long been a physical threat to the capital, in the late nineteenth century, they were also now seen as a threat to urban sanitation and public health.
Work during the colonial era was by manpower wielding hand tools of shovels and pickaxes, and progress was limited due to the high water table that quickly filled the drainage ditch.
The project saw the construction of a deep and straight trench in the basin of Mexico and construction of a tunnel through the eastern mountains.
A massive dredge 40 meters long, made of timbers and booms, with a steam engine mounted on the deck was used.
The machinery had 40 buckets in a line to dredge sludge from the bottom of the cut, raised it to the surface, and then discharge it into train cars to be deposited elsewhere.
National Archives for Black Women's History (formerly the National Council of Negro Women's National Library, Archives, and Museum) is an archive located at 3300 Hubbard Rd, Landover, Maryland.
Originally housed at 1318 Vermont Avenue, Washington, D.C. in the carriage house of the former home of Mary McLeod Bethune, which is now a National Historic Site, the archive was controversially moved in 2014 by the National Park Service citing concerns over the inadequacy of the original site for preservation of its collection.
In August 1935, Mary Ritter Beard, one of the co-founders of the World Center for Women's Archives, wrote to Dorothy B. Porter, librarian and curator at Howard University to solicit her help in gathering archival materials on African American women for preservation.
Other black women Beard recruited to help with the project included Mary McLeod Bethune, who would found of the National Council of Negro Women on 5 December 1935; two prior presidents of the National Association of Colored Women, Elizabeth Carter Brooks and Mary Church Terrell; and Sue Bailey Thurman, an author, lecturer and historian.
Because the Washington, D. C. branch of the World Center for Women's Archives would not allow the black women to join, Beard worked directly with the black women's committee to collect and preserve their archives.
The first chair of the committee, Porter, also recruited Juanita Mitchell, the first black woman lawyer in Maryland to serve with the other women on the committee.
The first exhibit of collected materials was hosted in December 1939 in Washington, D. C. in conjunction with Beard and the World Center for Women's Archives.
Though she proposed that the committee collect archival material for an exhibit for the American Negro Exposition to be hosted the following year in Chicago, the Women's Archives dissolved in 1940, and the committee continued on its own.
Bethune proposed that they begin work to acquire a building that could serve as both the headquarters of the National Council of Negro Women and an archive of black women's history.
Thurman became chair in 1944, and in 1945 began a funding drive to raise money for collecting records and acquiring a property.
In 1946, the committee organized a National Archives Day, publicizing the event with churches, libraries and other organizations in Washington, D.C.
Throughout the 1950s, the committee continued to solicit archival materials and hosted an exhibit featuring historic dolls made by sculptor, Meta Warrick Fuller, and a quilt depicting Harriet Tubman.
In 1958, the committee solicited recipes from black women to publish a different kind of history—one that celebrated the collective works that characterized their community.
It retold stories of professional women throughout history aimed at countering the belief that all black women were maids and domestics.
In the 1960s through the mid-1970s, work on the archive waned as the emphasis shifted to the Civil Rights Movement, but 1976 as part of the United States Bicentennial celebrations, Senator John Warner, assisted in getting an appropriation from Congress to renovate the property where Bethune had last lived, located at 1318 Vermont Avenue, Washington, D.C.
The following year, Bettye Collier-Thomas, director of Temple University's Center for African American History and Culture, established the Bethune Museum in the property and began converting the carriage house into a facility to house the National Archives for Black Women's History.
In 1978, the push to reignite the archival effort resumed, and using fund from a grant received from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, the archives opened to researchers in November 1979.
In 2014, the Park Service made a controversial decision to move the archive from the Bethune property citing concerns about the preservation of records at the facility.
A major portion of the archival records is the collection of corporate documents relating to the National Council of Negro Women, its various branches, the museum and the house.
There are also records and memorabilia of organizations like the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority (Xi Omega Chapter), Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Eta Phi Beta Sorority, and the Tau Gamma Delta Sorority (Xi Chapter), as well as other associations, like the National Alliance of Black Feminists.
Two collections, the Martha Settle Putney Women's Army Corps Collection and the Prudence Burns Burrell Army Nurses Corps Collection, focus on black women in the military.

The University Phantom of Bochum, shortened to the Uni-Phantom, is a German serial sex offender who is said to have committed up to 21 assaults, first in Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis and later moving to Bochum.
She was raped on January 7, 1994 at 1:10 PM, on her way home from in school in a wooded area.
All of the crime scenes were in the area of public transport stops, where the Phantom may have met his victims.
He chose young women as victims, as they usually have a different recreational behavior than older women, and also use public transport at night.
In the vicinity of the university, there were many student residences, and thus, many young women - this is considered the main reason for the Phantom relocating from Sprockhövel to Bochum.

Its National Register nomination states:Architecturally, The Fresno Republican Printery Building (1919) is a sophisticated interpretation of the mezzo-mediterranean styles which evolved during California's regional and rather eclectic architectural revival era (1915-1930).
Glass and Butner's decidedly refined and personalized transcription of classically defined details, fused with less strict revival forms, produced an elegantly symmetrical commercial facade, which continues to grace the downtown community with its quiet dignity.
The rare survival of this building, with its original appearance and function almost entirely intact, has not come about by accident.
The historical owners, William Gamy and Elaine Gamy Barber, have repeatedly avoided selling this remarkable property to insensitive developers, whose interests have generally embraced demolition for expansion of commercial parking ventures.

Barrett made his professional debut on 25 October 2014 at the Middleton Arena in the City of Lancaster, scoring a four round points decision victory over Kristian Laight.
After winning his first 18 fights, 11 by stoppage, he fought Chris Conwell for the vacant English super-featherweight title at the First Direct Arena, Leeds.
Barrett dropped Conwell twice in round four, with the end coming at 2:20 after Conwell was unable to beat the referee's count of 10 following a left hook to the body.
His next fight came against Ronnie Clark for the vacant IBF European super-featherweight title on 24 February 2018 at the York Hall, London.
Following a tentative opening round, the fight livened up in round two with Barrett electing to fight at range and having success to the body, while Clark came forward to work on the inside.
The next few rounds saw much of the same; Barrett throwing punches from range and Clark forcing the pace to work at close quarters.
After being warned for a low blow, Barrett was dropped to the canvas 1 minute into the sixth-round by a straight left-right uppercut combination from southpaw Clark.
Barrett was on the back foot for the next minute, evading and blocking punches with the occasional hook and uppercut landing.
In the second half of the fight, Clark began to show signs of fatigue which allowed Barrett to land his combinations at range with more frequency, with Clark still continuing to press the action and land single shots to make the rounds evenly contested.
Following two consecutive wins over journeyman Edwin Tellez, he then fought Lyon Woodstock Jr. on 15 June 2019 for the vacant Commonwealth super-featherweight title at the First Direct Arena, winning via unanimous decision.
Barrett comes from a fighting family, being a cousin of Commonwealth light-heavyweight champion Lyndon Arthur, and nephew to former British and European champion and world title challenger, Pat Barrett, who is also his trainer.
On Christmas day in 2011, Barrett's older brother, John, was attacked at a private party held at Sinclair's Bar in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.

In the of the series, the titular Mandalorian bounty hunter (Pedro Pascal) accepts a valuable commission from a Client (Werner Herzog), a mysterious Imperial official, to track down and capture an unidentified fifty-year-old target.
Infiltrating a remote and heavily defended encampment, the Mandalorian acquires the quarry, who appears to be a child from the same species as Yoda.
As the beast rushes the Mandalorian for the kill, the Child uses The Force to levitate the creature, allowing the surprised Mandalorian to kill it.
He accepts a new job from the Bounty Hunter's guild leader, Greef Karga (Carl Weathers), but instead goes back to infiltrate the Client's base and retrieve the Child, who is being studied by Dr. Pershing (Omid Abtahi).
The Mandalorian is ambushed by the guild's bounty hunters and Karga, but the Mandalorian is able to escape with the Child when other Mandalorians of the Tribe unexpectedly come to his defense.
The Mandalorian recruits Cara Dune (Gina Carano), an ex-Rebel shocktrooper, Kuiil (Nick Nolte), an Ugnaught farmer and mechanic who previously helped him, and IG-11, who has been repaired and reprogrammed by Kuiil.
When Cara and the Mandalorian are arm wrestling, the Child mistakes Cara for an enemy and begins force choking her, but the Mandalorian stops him.
Greef is injured and the Child heals him using the Force, so Greef reveals that he was planning on betraying them until the Child healed him.
The Mandalorian sends Kuiil back to his ship with the Child, while he, Cara and Greef head into town to kill the Client.
The Child uses the Force to deflect an attacking stormtrooper's flamethrower back on him, and the group escapes with the Child through a sewer grate, seeking help from the hidden Mandalorians.

The British Rail Class 803 is a type of electric multiple unit being built by Japanese rolling stock manufacturer Hitachi for new operator East Coast Trains.
In 2015, following an announcement from the Office of Rail and Road that it would be allowing open-access operators to bid for additional rail paths on the East Coast Main Line between London and Scotland, FirstGroup put in a proposal to operate open-access services between London and Edinburgh.
Under its plan, First would seek to directly compete with existing road, rail and air services by offering all standard class with an average ticket price of approximately £25.
In March 2019, First announced that it had signed an agreement with Hitachi to procure a total of five new 5-car trains from its A-Train product line for its East Coast service.
Unlike the Class 800 and 802, the new units will not be fitted with a diesel engine, and so would not be able to propel themselves in the event of a power failure.
East Coast Trains plan to retain only standard class accommodation throughout their new Class 803 units, with no first class accommodation at all.

It is a building of office units opening out into a central, interior courtyard topped by a large skylight and clerestory window.
Its National Register nomination states:At the time of its design and construction in 1926, the Physicians Building consisted of some twenty-eight rooms, grouped into separate office units which opened out onto a centrally built interior court.
With an area of over a thousand square feet, the courtyard was an exceptionally large common space for a building with exterior dimensions of approximately 73 x 85 feet.
An octagonal fountain and fish pond, some eight feet across and built of a beige-colored stone, was designed to provide a bench surface as well as atmospheric character for the central axis of the medical building.
Rising some 18 feet above a floor surface of highly polished serpentine-green linoleum tile (at the time, a technological wonder which provided the rich tonal range of genuine marble), a superbly detailed skylight allowed natural light to filter into this large court-space through individually set panes of pebbled glass installed below a clerestory roof.

Charles R. H. Tripp notes that although the revolt was anti-Ottoman in a broad sense, the uprising was not in support of the British war effort and instead intended to grant the city higher administrative autonomy.
However, Karbala suffered from a lack of centralized leadership, and was unable to establish contact with the British forces to the south due to tribes still loyal to the Ottoman Empire separating them.

The company licenses patented breeds of fruit to growers worldwide, and is the largest private breeder of table grapes in the world.
IFG was founded in 2001 in Bakersfield by David Cain, Jack Pandol, Glen Stoller, his wife Terrie Stoller, and their son Craig Stoller.
Cain was a fruit breeder who in the 1970s worked in Fresno, California as a researcher with the USDA, developing new varieties of table grapes and seedless raisins.
Pandol was a UC Davis plant scientist graduate and third generation grape grower who had founded grape growing company Grapery in 1996.
Glen and Terrie Stoller were the founders of Bakersfield-based grapevine nursery Sunridge Nurseries, a supplier of plant material to the wine and table grape industry, and their son Craig was the company's president.
A few months after forming IFG, Cain attended a trade show where researchers from the University of Arkansas were showing grapes.
He licensed that grape along with others from the university for IFG, and improved the size and texture by crossbreeding the grapes with sturdier California grapes.
In 2010, after years of cross-pollinating and testing numerous grapes, IFG patented the Cotton Candy grape, and began licensing it to growers.
In 2011, the company had partnered with grape grower The Grapery, which was selling IFG's Sweet Sunshine, Sweet Sapphire and Sweet Celebration.
In 2018, the company's Cheery Grand cherry, seen as a possible replacement for the Chelan cherry, began getting harvested in Chile and Australia.
In order to breed seedless grapes, the breeders have to take out the baby embryos from the plant, then grow them in individual test tubes in the lab before they can be planted.
The company's licensed products include its signature Cotton Candy grapes, and Sweet Celebration, a crunchy, cherry red, mid- to late-season seedless grape with a large berry.

Its significance is stated in the National Register nomination:The Buckridge Ranch House is an excellent example of a building form that first arrived in the United States with English settlers in the seventeenth century and continued to be built in one guise or another for over 2OO years.
This kind of building, called an I—house, has a rectangular form, two stories with two rooms on each, and a symmetrical facade.
I—houses, like other early vernacular building types, used design principles that were of proven utility and were passed from builder to builder by word of mouth.
The builder of the Buckridge Ranch House was probably not trying to design a house similar to those popular in the American Southeast.
The building displays all the characteristics of a Tidewater I-house (form, height, fenestration, roof, and porch) in an unusually pure example.
In 1856, the ramparts of the were demolished, replacing the 'Sand Bastion' with the name of Basteiberg () (originally known as Bastion Hill).
It has survived to the present day, but no longer with the less sophisticated underwater lighting that was still operational at the beginning of the last century.
Around 1893, a pseudo-swan-style swan cottage, work of Riga's architect Heinrich Scheel, was placed on pontoons along the Bastejkalns Canal - usually pulled ashore in the winter months, where it is still today.
In 1883, at the foot of the Bastion Hill, a 23-meter-long wooden bridge was erected over the canal (its curvature was so steep that people slipped out of it in winter and the bridge was ironically called by the Riga inhabitants), which was replaced in 1893 by masonry.
Then a bridge was built to connect the Old Town with what is now Rainis Boulevard (designed in 1898, rebuilt a little later and still in operation).
In 1951, according to the architect Jānis Ginters project, Bastejkalns built support walls, which used parts of the buildings of Riga destroyed by World War II.
The square of this public park was used until 1856 as part of the eastern fortifications and consisted in this area of earthen ramparts, covered trenches, bastions and moats.
In the following years, the open ground was reshaped by considerable landfills and the and connected to the eastern suburb by new bridges.
At the suggestion of the architects Johann Felsko and Otto Dietze, a green area of parks and gardens as well as a broad boulevard were created here.
The park has been expanded to include more monuments and facilities, including the Freedom Monument and the two memorial stones for the victims of Riga citizens and security forces who died in January 1991 in an OMON deployment.

Major General James Conway Victor RE (1792–1864) was a 19th century British officer of the British Army serving mainly in Tasmania as a military engineer and architect.
He served as Director of Public Works (Roads and Bridges) in Tasmania from 1843, and was responsible for much of the road infrastructure.
He entered the newly created Royal Military College, Sandhurst as a cadet in 1807 and was created a second lieutenant in 1810 and was promoted to first lieutenant in 1811.
This appears to have been in the more sedate Royal Engineers who were not actively engaged in battles during this period.
Lieutenant Governor Sir John Eardley-Wilmot appointed Victor as Director of the amalgamated bodies executing public works in 1843 but this system did not work well and it was split back into two bodies by 1844.
In 1846/47 he resisted the orders of Lieutenant Governor Sir William Denison, whom he probably new from his earlier service in the Royal Engineers.
He was commanded to draw up plans for a new wharf (Franklin's Wharf) in Hobart, but instead in July 1847 wrote to his commander in England explaining why this project was financially flawed.
He lived on Hampden Road in Hobart until December 1848 when he retired to Britain to live in Edinburgh, to be close to his wife's relatives.
Despite this obvious shun by his superiors he was appeased by a promotion to Major General in 1854 which secured him a very healthy pension.
In April 1834 he married Anne Dashwood Young (d.1876), youngest daughter of Alexander Young of Harburn House in Midlothian (near West Calder).

WCTU members argued that alcohol abuse was a problem in the dominion, and that it led to increased rates of domestic violence and poverty, of which women and children were the primary victims.
The WCTU argued that women should be given the right to vote in local option elections, so they could vote on prohibition and other issues.
Edited by Jessie Ohman, it contained editorials and essays calling for women’s suffrage, as well as political cartoons skewering the Newfoundland government and Prime Minister Sir William Whiteway, who was seen as being weak on prohibition and women’s suffrage.The WCTU also circulated a petition across the island of Newfoundland, demanding the women be given the right to vote in local option elections.
On March 18, 1891, WCTU members marched to the Colonial Building and gave the petition to the government.The Newfoundland legislature debated enfranchising women on March 15, 1892, but defeated the motion in a vote of 13 to ten.
Suffragists were active in other parts of the world, and news of their work was reported in Newfoundland newspapers and debated in local clubs and societies.
In response, a group of St. John’s women formed the Ladies Reading Room in 1909 to give women a space to discuss current affairs and read international journals and newspapers.
The outbreak of the First World War caused suffragists to reduce their efforts, but, when the war ended, the movement gained significant ground.
Women's Patriotic Association which was formed to support war effort and its leaders were to key to the postwar proliferation of women's civic organizations, including the suffrage movement.
League members embarked on an island-wide publicity campaign: suffragists screened advertisements in movie houses, published essays and letters in newspapers, canvassed homes and businesses, and circulated a petition throughout the island to garner support.
Their efforts ended in success on March 9, 1925, when Prime Minister Walter Stanley Monroe introduced a suffrage bill to the legislature.
It was not, however, a total success: women could become voters at the age of 25, while men could vote at the age of 21.
Nonetheless, suffragists hailed the new law as a victory and the Women’s Franchise League changed its name to The League of Women Voters, a non-partisan organization that promoted such social issues as compulsory education, child welfare, and maternal health.

As the artist intuitively translates gestural marks from one media to another, his works attract the viewers with their pathos and savvy sense of humor.
He received an MFA in Painting from Yale School of Art in 2013 and a BFA in Painting from Tyler School of Art in 2006.
While a student at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, Lee's studio doubled as a gallery space where he organized group and solo exhibitions to promote his artistic community.
As the artist intuitively translates gestural marks from one media to another, his works attract the viewers with their pathos and savvy sense of humor.
The use of digital platforms and technologies offer him the opportunity to work against the tradition of painting: Lee transitioned from using Adobe Photoshop in his early work to adopting the Oculus Rift's virtual-reality program Medium as an imaginary studio.
As a result of this technique, the final paintings are very luminous and evoke both the light of a computer screen and the intense coloration of color field painting.
The artist sources his subjects from his daily life: people who attract his attention on the subway or the internet, scenes of ordinary activities, animals, and flowers.
However, by confronting the viewer with familiar images, his works explore the dichotomy of contemporary phenomena, such as social media, that carry both positive and negative effects.
Further exploiting the possibilities offered by the world of V.R., Lee has also created a series of sculptures that give form to his digital drawings with the use of a 3D printer.
While at first glance, the subjects of these sculptures appear joyful and soothing, the distortions of forms attribute a disturbing note to their flashy cheerfulness.
While the effortlessness of Alex Katz’s paintings has certainly influenced him, the use of new technology in David Hockney’s iPad Drawings and Cindy Sherman’s Instagram self-portraits likewise resonates in Lee’s works.

The East Capitol Street-Cardozo Line, designated Route 96, 97, is a daily bus route operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority between Tenleytown-AU station (96) and Union Station (97) of the Red Line of the Washington Metro and Capitol Heights station of the Blue and Silver Lines of the Washington Metro.
96 originally operated as part of the Duke Ellington Bridge-Capitol Hill Streetcar Line, which began service during the year of 1922 and operated between the Duke Ellington Bridge in Northwest Washington D.C. & Capitol Hill neighborhood of both Northeast & Southeast Washington D.C..
Even after becoming a WMATA Metrobus Route, 96 continued to operate on the same exact streetcar route it had been operating on between the Duke Ellington Bridge & Capitol Hill, all the way up until March 27, 1976.
On March 27, 1976, 96 was rerouted from its original Capitol Hill terminus at the Capitol Building, to instead terminate at the Union Station.
On May 11, 1991, when the U Street/Cardozo Metro Station opened, 96 began serving the newly opened U Street/Cardozo Metro Station in the middle of its route.
In March, 1995, due to the fact that the 40 and 44 were both discontinued, and route 42 was truncated to only operate between Mount Pleasant & Metro Center, 96 was extended from its terminus at the Union Station to operate all the way up to the Capitol Heights station, via Stadium–Armory station, DC General Hospital & the Benning Road Metro Station.
While the D6 route, which was rerouted to operate between Stadium–Armory station & Sibley Hospital, via DC General Hospital & Union Station replaced the segment of 40, 42, & 44's route between Metro Center and Stadium–Armory station via Union Station.
Route 96 was extended to operate all the way up to Capitol Heights, via DC General Hospital & Benning Road station, to not only replace the segment of 40's routing on the East Capitol Street NE, but to also provide additional service between Union Station & Stadium Armory, to complement route D6 service between Union Station & Stadium Armory.
The only difference would be that 96 would operate between Union Station & Stadium–Armory station, via Columbus Circle NE, E Street NE, North Capitol Street NW, Louisiana Avenue NW, 1st Street NW, Constitution Avenue NW/NE, 1st Street NE, 11th Street SE, 13th Street NE/SE, Massachusetts Avenue SE, the DC General Hospital, and 19th Street SE, instead.
Also WMATA created a brand new 97 route to operate alongside 96, except only between Union Station & Capitol Heights, instead of operating all the way to Duke Ellington Bridge like route 96.
Route 97 would operate during weekday peak hours between Union station and Capital Heights along East Capitol Street replacing route 96 which terminates at Stadium–Armory during peak hours.
While 96 & 97 would operate on almost the exact same routing between Union Station & Capitol Heights, 96 & 97's routing would slightly differ between Stadium Armory and the intersection of 13th Street NE/SE.
Both routes would divert off the intersection of East Capitol Street NE onto the intersection of 18th Street SE as 19th Street SE, is only a one-way street.
97 would then divert onto the intersection of Independence Avenue SE to reach the intersection of 19th Street SE, divert onto 19th Street SE serving Stadium–Armory, before returning back and operating on the rest of its routing towards Union Station.
Route 96 would divert off of East Capitol Street NE onto the intersection of 18th Street SE and then divert onto the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue SE, continue straight on Massachusetts Avenue SE to serve DC General Hospital, and then return back in the opposite direction/operate on Massachusetts Avenue SE towards the intersection of 13th Street NE/SE, where it would rejoin 97 on East Capitol Street.
While 97 which would directly serve Stadium–Armory while operating both directions, 96 would only directly serve Stadium–Armory only when operating towards Capitol Heights.
The rest of 96's routing between Union Station & Duke Ellington Bridge would remain the same even though 96 was extended from its terminus at the Union Station, to operate all the way up to Capitol Heights.
These route changes were made to improve on-time performance/better schedule adherence for the 90, 92, & 93 Metrobus Routes, which operate a much more lengthy route than 96.
On September 30, 2012, 96 along with route X3 was then extended from McLean Gardens to Tenleytown-AU station adding additional service along Wisconsin Avenue NW from McLean Gardens due to a long-term detour route in 2012 to accommodate construction of Cathedral Commons.
During 2017, WMATA proposed to eliminate 96's segment between McLean Gardens and Tenleytown-AU station as it operates parallel with the 30N, 30S, 31, 33, 37, and H3, H4.
The 2020 Cork Senior A Football Championship will be the inaugural staging of the Cork Senior A Football Championship since its establishment by the Cork County Board.

The video, just under eight minutes long, shows Styles as a boy from the fishing village of Eroda who is an outcast due to him being the only one on the island who smiles.
In the video, Styles finds a fish who is washed up on shore, and cares for it as it grows, much to the judgement of fellow Eroda citizens.
At the end of the video, the fish bursts out of its tank, and residents help Styles return the fish back to the water.
The correct ratio of course salt to water for the brine is achieved when a potato or egg will float in the solution.
The mutton is kept in the brine until the solution has reached all parts of the meat, which can take around three weeks.
Reestit mutton has a salty flavour, which is also influenced by the peat smoke which it is exposed to when drying.

Waterlooville Baptist Church is the Baptist place of worship serving the town of Waterlooville and surrounding suburban areas in the borough of Havant in Hampshire, southeast England.
Waterlooville (historically known as Waterloo and Waterloo Ville) developed from the early 19th century as a linear settlement along the A3 road from London to Portsmouth, on land made available by the enclosure of the Forest of Bere.
The Anglican St George's Church was built in the early 19th century, and Nonconformists were initially catered for by a building called Ebenezer Chapel which had been registered in November 1874.
This was succeeded by a new centrally located Baptist chapel built between 1884 and 1885 to the design of George Rake, a locally prolific architect, and registered in September 1885.
The town's rapid postwar growth, including the development of several overspill estates for people moved out of war-damaged Portsmouth, prompted wholesale redevelopment of the town centre in the 1960s.
The area around the old crossroads of the London Road and the road to Hambledon was rebuilt with new commercial and industrial buildings, and the 1885 Baptist chapel was demolished as part of this.
Glazed curtain walling encloses the whole entrance vestibule on the front of the church, which faces west on to the north–south London Road.
Internally the a tall box with a central division formed by a full-height altar screen, the back of which can be seen through the fully glazed front elevation.
Waterlooville Baptist Church is registered for worship in accordance with the Places of Worship Registration Act 1855; its number on the register is 70818.
It belongs to the Southern Counties Baptist Association, one of 13 regional divisions within Baptists Together (the Baptist Union of Great Britain).
Since 2016, the church has been involved with two other local churches in a joint ministry project at Berewood, a new housing estate being built close to Waterlooville.
In 1977 he became director of the ICIPU, an italian credit consortium for public companies; later, he became the first vice president and then president.

The Assembly elected in 1958 was dissolved by the Governor Laurent Elisée Péchoux on 9 March after the Caledonian Union (which held a majority of seats) refused to approve the High Commissioner's agenda.
The Entente, an alliance of the Union for the New Republic and some Caledonian Union dissidents won nine seats, whilst the Caledonian Rally was reduced to only three seats.
A by-election was held on 4 November, in which the Caledonian Union won five seats (Luc Chevalier, Evenor de Greslan, Antoine Griscelli, Armand Ohlen and Rock Pidjot), Caledonian Rally three (Berge, Henri Lafleur and Claude Parazols) and the Entente two (Georges Chatenay and Thomas Hagen).
This represented a loss of one seat for the Caledonian Union (Kamandji Ouamambare) and gain of one seat for the Caledonian Rally (Berge and Parazols, replacing Albert Rapadzi).
Gaston Belouma resigned from the Assembly on 26 October and was replaced by Thène Fonguimoin Boahoumé-Arhou, who was next on the party's list.
Li Lianxiu (; December 1923 – 10 November 2019) was a Chinese military and police commander with the rank of lieutenant general.
A veteran of the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese Civil War, and the Korean War, he was appointed Commander of the 38th Army of the People's Liberation Army in 1978.
In 1984, he was appointed the second Commander of the People's Armed Police (PAP), a year after its founding, serving until his retirement in 1990.
During the Second Sino-Japanese War, he enlisted in the Eighth Route Army in August 1938 and joined the Communist Party of China in the same year.
Serving in the Shandong Column and later as a platoon commander in the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, he participated in almost 100 battles against Japanese invaders in Shandong.
After the surrender of Japan in 1945, Li became a member of the Northeastern Democratic United Army (later Fourth Field Army of the People's Liberation Army), and fought in many battles of the Chinese Civil War, including Siping, Liaoxi, Tianjin, and the Yangtze River Crossing Campaign.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Li served as Commander of the 337th Regiment of the 38th Army and studied at the PLA National Defence University.
In his first battle of the war, he was credited with taking over Height 200 on the 38th parallel from American forces.
His unit participated in the Battle of Tokchon, during which the 38th Army took over the city of Tokchon and inflicted substantial losses on the 7th Infantry Division of South Korea.
Upon his return from Korea, Li was promoted to Deputy Commander of the 112th Division and later Commander of the 114th Division.
He was appointed Deputy Commander and Chief of Staff of the 38th Army in July 1969, and promoted to Commander of the 38th Army in May 1978.
In 1984, Li was transferred to the People's Armed Police (PAP), which had been established a year before, to serve as its second commander.
During the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, Li reportedly instructed Xu Qinxian, his former subordinate and successor as Commander of the 38th Army, not to suppress the protesters without the approval of all three leaders of the Central Military Commission—Deng Xiaoping, Zhao Ziyang, and Yang Shangkun—knowing that Zhao would not approve such an order.
When the 38th Army entered Beijing under a new commander, the PAP was ordered to open a path for the army through the barricades and protesters on the roads leading to the Tiananmen Square.
In the night of 3 June, the PAP forces were able to reach the square without causing bloodshed, using only stun batons and fibreglass shields to dispel the crowds, whereas the 38th Army that followed them opened fire on the protesters and committed the Tiananmen Square massacre.
A few months after the crackdown, Li and three other top officers of the PAP were dismissed in February 1990, and he officially retired.
Robert M. McClintock (August 30, 1909 Seattle, Washington–November 1, 1976 Beaune, France) was a Career Foreign Service Officer who served as the American Ambassador to Cambodia (1954-1956), Lebanon (1957-1961), Argentina (1962-1964), and Venezuela (1970-1975).
Other positions include Advisor to the President of the Naval War College (1964 to 1966) and Deputy Director Special State-Defense Study Group beginning in 1968.
Clytia hemisphaerica is a small hydrozoan-group cnidarian, about 1 cm in diameter, that is found in the Mediterranean Sea and the North-East Atlantic Ocean.
The ciliated planula will swim freely until the proper external cues, for instance, experimental treatment with CsCl, trigger the metamorphic process.
Once the proper external cue is received, the planula stops swimming and attaches itself to a substrate via its aboral or aboral-lateral pole (what was previously the front end of the swimming planula).
After attaching itself to a substrate, the planula contracts along its oral–aboral axis and so forms a flattened holdfast to anchor itself to the substrate.
Once the planula is securely on its substrate, a stalk grows out of the holdfast and, eventually, a hydranth, also known as a gastrozooid (an individual polyp specializing in feeding) forms on the anterior end of the stalk.
At this stage, the planula is now considered a primary polyp, and this polyp can propagate vegetatively by extending its stolon to form a connected colony of multiple polyps.
Polyp colonies are essentially considered immortal; as long as they receive the proper nutrients, they can continuously replace their old parts and expand across their substrate.
However, despite containing relatively few cell types and lacking elaborate organ structures, the medusa have much greater anatomical complexity than their polyp form.
They are almost entirely transparent, their gonads, radial canals, short stomach, and four-lipped mouth being their most clearly visible anatomical structures.
These nematocytes are considered specialized nerve cells despite the fact that they are composed of a pressurized capsule (nematocyst), a rapid-firing, harpoon-like dart and lethal toxins made for killing prey.
Two parallel condensed nerve rings run around the periphery of the medusa’s bell; the outer rings is responsible for integrating sensory inputs, while the inner ring coordinates motor responses.
The tabular bones are a pair of triangular flat bones along the rear edge of the skull which form pointed structures known as tabular horns in primitive Teleostomi.
The Traralgon Marathon has been held every year from 1968 and is the oldest current marathon in Australia, it is organised by the Traralgon Harriers.

Joy was educated at Sackville School, East Grinstead and studied geology at Royal Holloway, University of London where she graduated with first class honours in 2003.
In 2006 Joy joined Birkbeck, University of London where she used the Demonstration of a Compact Imaging X-ray Spectrometer (D-CIXS) instrument, part of the SMART-1 mission, to study X-ray fluorescence from lunar samples.
In 2007 Joy was appointed a postdoctoral research fellow at Birkbeck, where she performed mineralogical and geochemical investigations into lunar rock and used this to understand chemical information collected from remote sensing.
She moved to the Antarctic Search for Meteorites (ANSMET) in 2011, where she spent three months searching for lunar meteorites in the Miller Range in Antarctica.
The Antarctic is well suited to the identification of meteorites; it is cold enough to preserve them but white enough for the dark meteorites to stand out.
She led the first UK team to recover meteorite samples from Antarctica in collaboration with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS); the Polar Meteorite Exploration and Research programme.
One of the 4.3 billion year old meteorites studied by Joy contained evidence of active volcanoes on Mars, a surprising finding that indicated volcanic activity started hundreds of millions of years before it had previously been estimated.
She found fragments of ancient asteroids in the rocks brought back by the Apollo 16 mission, which indicates that primitive asteroids regularly bombarded the moon over 3.4 billion years ago.
Joy joined the University of Manchester in 2012, where she was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship (URF) to study lunar meteorites.
She is a member of the European Space Agency Package for Resource Observation and in-Situ Prospecting for Exploration, Commercial exploitation and Transportation (PROSPECT) drill - the Sample Excavation and Extraction Device.

Twin sisters Mary Lockett Hutson Nelson (1884-1982) and Sophie Palmer Hutson Rollins (1884-1983) were the first women to complete the civil engineering program (in 1903) at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas (now Texas A&M University).
At that time, the school was an all-male military school (as it would remain until 1963), but the sisters were allowed to attend because their father, Charles Woodward Hutson, was an English and history professor.
After finishing the coursework for the 4-year civil engineering program in 1903, they received certificates of completion signed by faculty members, but not diplomas.
After college, Mary worked for A. M. Lockett Co., a New Orleans engineering firm and designed water pumping facilities in New Orleans, Mississippi and Texas.
Their degrees were awarded posthumously in 2002, ninety-nine years after they completed the program, at an event commemorating A&M's 125th year.
Un Quijote sin mancha is a 1969 Mexican comedy film directed by Miguel M. Delgado and starring Cantinflas, Ángel Garasa, Lupita Ferrer and Susana Salvat.
Justo works as a law intern in the prestigious law firm of the Manceras, lawyers whose clientele is usually the elite.
This, combined with the disgust he experiences in having to serve corrupt clients, leads Justo to resign, to devote himself to the defense of those who do not have with what to pay.
He releases Cirilo Pingarrón, a young man who is accused of stealing a television from the store where he works, from prison.
Justo also calls attention to the fact that the store owner (a Spaniard whose accent is almost incomprehensible) pays Isidro only forty pesos a week, which he argues is far from being what establishes the law.
In another case, Justo also helps Sara Buenrostro (Susana Salvat), a young widow who wants to take her daughter away because she works as a nightclub dancer.
He points out the hypocrisy of the accusers, indicating that the accusing lawyer (one of the Manceras with whom Justo had previously worked) has been seen sunbathing with a colleague's secretary.
The shame, combined with the fact that Justo had gotten Mrs. Buenrostro another job as a telephone operator, causes the demand to be withdrawn, and the young mother keeps her daughter.
The neighborhood in which Justo lives, meanwhile, is under threat of the owner throwing out the tenants in order to raise rents.
Justo takes their defense, and in a meeting called with the owner, Justo (taking advantage that he had bought a phone that had not yet been connected) pretends to have a telephone conversation with the Undersecretary of Health, including making the owner believe of a new law that would punish the lack of maintenance of homes with jail.
Feeling threatened by the new law, and following the advice of Justo, the businessman not only decides not to throw out the tenants, but to make several fix-ups in the houses.
The same judge who presided over the case of Mrs. Buenrostro asks Justo to go find his son, who has left the home to devote himself to the hippie lifestyle.
Justo dresses as a hippie to enter a club frequented by hippies where he finds the young man, and while trying to convince him to return home, the club is raided by the police and take everyone to jail, including Justo, whom they see as another of the hippies.
Professor Arvide hears the news that Justo has been taken to jail, and runs to the police station to take him out, but leaves in such a hurry that he forgets to change his clothes and arrives dressed in pajamas, so the police take him for another hippie and put him in jail with Justo.
He is just about to declare his love for Angélica, when she announces that she and the businessman's son are engaged.
During the party, Professor Arvide, while dancing with Angélica, suffers an attack; Justo accompanies him to his apartment, where the professor, after giving some final advice to Justo, dies.
In the last scene, a few days after the professor's death, many of the characters Justo has been able to help come to his home/office to thank him for his service.

The Business Archives Council is an organisation based in London that exists to promote the preservation of business records of historical significance.
Aboriginal Australian identity, sometimes known as Aboriginality, is the perception of oneself as Aboriginal Australian, or the recognition by others of that identity.
No real attempt to define the term legally was made until the 1980s, despite use of the term twice in the 1901 Constitution of Australia (before these were removed in 1967).
Various factors affect Aboriginal people's self-identification as Aboriginal, including a growing pride in culture, solidarity in a shared history of dispossession (including the Stolen Generations), and, among those are fair-skinned, an increased willingness to acknowledge their ancestors, once considered shameful.
Successive censuses have shown those identifying as Indigenous (Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander) at a rate far exceeding the growth of the whole Australian population.
A legal historian estimated in 1991 that at least 67 classifications, descriptions or definitions to determine who is an Aboriginal person had been used by governments since white settlement in Australia.
Until the 1980s, the sole legal and administrative criterion for inclusion in this category was race, classified according to visible physical characteristics or known ancestors.
The purpose of this provision was to give the Commonwealth power to regulate non-white immigrant workers, who would follow work opportunities interstate.
The purpose of Section 127 was to prevent the inclusion of Aboriginal people in Section 24 determinations of the distribution of House of Representatives seats amongst the states and territories.
Between 1981 and 1986, a rise of 42% of people identifying as Aboriginal occurred across Australian census areas (see also separate section below).
In 1988, as part of bicentennial celebrations, Prime Minister Bob Hawke was presented with a statement of Aboriginal political objectives by Galarrwuy Yunupingu and Wenten Rubuntja, in what became known as The Barunga Statement.
The 1981 Report added impetus to the definition, and it was soon adopted by all Government departments for determining eligibility to certain services and benefits.
In the Tasmanian Dam Case of 1983, the High Court of Australia was asked to determine whether Commonwealth legislation, whose application could relate to Aboriginal peopleparts of the World Heritage Properties Conservation Act 1983 (Cth) as well as related legislationwas supported by Section 51(xxvi) in its new form.
While Deane's three-part definition reaches beyond the biological criterion to an individual's self-identification, it has been criticised as continuing to accept the biological criterion as primary.
The Commonwealth Definition continued to be used administratively and legislatively, notably in the Mabo case, which in 1992 recognised native title in Australia for the first time.
However, debate about the definition became heated, particularly in Tasmania, over whether the emphasis should be on identification by self and/or community or by descent.
The Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre (TAC) emphasised evidence of descent, and started refusing services to people who had previously been identified as Aboriginal.
A report commissioned by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) found that people seeking to identify as Aboriginal should satisfy all three criteria, and should provide documentary evidence to show a direct line of ancestry through a family name linking them to traditional Aboriginal society at the time of colonisation of Tasmania.
After 1999 ATSIC election, questions were raised about the Aboriginality of many of the 824 voters and some of those who were elected.
Evidence from biographies has shown that, unlike white people, Aboriginal people do not define themselves in terms of race, but rather culture; Aboriginal historian Victoria Grieves says that the recency of one's Aboriginal ancestors does not determine one's identification as Aboriginal.
Academic Gordon Briscoe has also proposed that, among many other factors, Indigenous health has historically shaped this identity, particularly in relation to British settlement of Australia.
Aboriginal music has been positively utilised in public performances to non-participating audiences to further enhance public recognition in, and the development of, Aboriginal identity within modern Australia.
Historian Rebe Taylor, who specialises in Australian Indigenous peoples and European settlement, has been critical of negative associations of Aboriginal identity, such as with the Australian welfare system.
The numbers of Indigenous-identifying people have grown since 1986 at a rate far exceeding that of the whole population and what would be expected from natural increase.
This rise has been attributed to various factors, including increased preparedness to identify as Indigenous and by the propensity for children of mixed partnerships to identify as Indigenous.
One possible confounding factor is that the census question allows a person to acknowledge both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origins but does not allow a person to acknowledge both Indigenous and non-Indigenous origins – perhaps leading to the expectation that people of mixed Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal origin will identify as Aboriginal.
In urban Australia there is a high proportion of such mixed partnerships (incidentally, much higher than black/white partnerships in the United States).
By 2002, it appeared that there was likely to be a narrowing of the gap between the socioeconomic indicators of the two groups, particularly in urban areas, leading to government policy possibly moving away from Indigenous-specific services or benefits in these areas.

Four days after the people of Milan had driven the Austrian Imperial Army out of the city during the Five Days of Milan, the Provisional Government of Milan raised two cavalry regiments: Lombard Chevau-légers Regiment () and the Lombard Dragoons Regiment ().
On 5 September of the same year both regiments were integrated in the Royal Sardinian Army of the Kingdom of Sardinia to fight in the First Italian War of Independence.
On 15 March 1849 the two regiments were merged as 7th Regiment of Cavalry and on 3 January 1850 the regiment was renamed Regiment Cavalleggeri di Saluzzo (.
During the Second Italian War of Independence the regiment fought at San Martino and during the Third Italian War of Independence at Battle of Custoza (1866).
Equipped with Fiat Campagnola reconnaissance vehicles and M47 Patton tanks the squadrons group continued in the role of the Folgore's divisional reconnaissance unit.
After the end of the Cold War the Italian Army began to draw down its forces and the Vittorio Veneto was one of the first brigades to disband.

After the unification of Nepal in the 18th century, Nepal expanded northwest and conquered the kingdoms of Kumaon as well as Garhwal.
In that year, during the Anglo-Nepalese War, the British general Ochterlony evicted the Nepalese from Garhwal and Kumaon across the Mahakali River.
After agreeing the Treaty of Sugauli, which made a territorial settlement, the Nepalese appealed to the British governor general that they were entitled to the areas to the southeast of the Mahakali River.
The British conceded the demand, and the Tinkar Valley with its large villages of Chhangru and Tinkar was transferred to Nepal.
The British, however, retained the areas to the northwest of the Mahakali River, including the Kuthi Valley and the Kalapani territory near the headwaters of the Mahakali.
This being the precise geographical description of the location of the Tinkar Pass, the Border Pillar numbered 1 of the China–Nepal border was placed here.
After the 1962 border war between India and China, India closed the Lipulekh Pass at the top of the Kalapani river valley.

The right-liberal German People's Party (DVP) and reactionary nationalist German National People's Party (DNVP) made the largest gains, with the DNVP becoming the second largest party by voteshare.
No election was held on the constituency of Oppeln due to the Upper Silesia plebiscite, which was held one month after the state elections.

The coalition of the Social Democratic Party, Centre Party, and German Democratic Party (now the German State Party), which had governed Prussia since 1919, lost its majority.
Prussia used the constructive vote of no confidence, meaning a government could be removed from office only if there was a positive majority for a prospective successor.
No parliamentary force held a majority, but since none were willing to cooperate with any of the others, the SPD-led coalition could not be removed.
Prussia remained under direct control of the federal government until April 1933 when, at the behest of Adolf Hitler under the Enabling Act of 1933, state elections were held in Prussia.
The Nazis failed to win a majority, but later gained one after the banning of the Communist Party and the arrest of opposition deputies.

During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Thar Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Range where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.

The indentation size effect (ISE) is the observation that hardness tends to increase as the indent size decreases at small scales.
When an indent (any small mark, but usually made with a special tool) is created during material testing, the hardness of the material is not constant.
Materials contain statistically stored dislocations (SSD) which are created by homogeneous strain and are dependent upon the material and processing conditions.
Geometrically necessary dislocations on the other hand are formed, in addition to the dislocations statistically present, to maintain continuity within the material.
Theory suggests that plastic flow is impacted by both strain and the size of the strain gradient experienced in the material.
For practical purposes this effect means that hardness in the low micro and nano regimes cannot be directly compared if measured using different loads.
However, the benefit of this effect is that it can be used to measure the effects of strain gradients on plasticity.

Typically, electoral districts cover several administrative districts of an oblast or the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, or a medium-sized city or a part of a large city.
They consist of electoral precincts (usually about one hundred of them in each electoral district), which are territorial units of election organization one level lower, and which have the size of several communities or village councils in rural areas or several neighborhoods in cities.
The next election to the Verkhovna Rada (set to be in 2024) will be (for the first time) with different regional open lists (with again an electoral threshold of five percent) and a return (and thus an abolishment of the constituencies with first-past-the-post voting) to only one national constituency.
In the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election Ukraine used the mixed electoral system for the elections of people's deputies, 225 deputies were elected to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine by the proportional electoral system (party lists) and 225 by the first-past-the-post electoral system.
Thereafter, district election commissions determine the results of voting within their electoral districts by summing up the results from all the polling stations belonging to the district.
The Central Election Commission then sums up the results of all electoral districts, including the Foreign one, to determine the final results of the voting.
In addition to votes counting, district election commissions also deal with many other organizational issues within their electoral districts, including appointing the personal composition of precinct election commissions.
As a result, there were vacant seats in the 8th and 9th convocations of the Verkhovna Rada, which should have been occupied by majority MPs from the electoral districts in Crimea and in Donbass.
Electoral districts in their modern form were created on April 28, 2012 by the resolution of the Central Election Commission #82 (up to that moment there was a different system of electoral districts).
Initially, they were intended to be used only for parliamentary elections, but in 2019 they were also applied for the presidential election.
The current electoral districts system in theory can be applied to all-Ukrainian referendums, but in practice, no referendums have been held in Ukraine since 2000.
The current electoral districts system was used in 2012 parliamentary election, 2014 parliamentary election, 2019 presidential election and 2019 parliamentary election.
The law stipulates that the deviation of the number of voters in the electoral district from the national average should not exceed 12%.
The law also stipulates that each electoral district must be within one administrative unit of the first level (oblast, city of Kiev or Sevastopol, Autonomous Republic of Crimea), i.e.
it is not allowed for a part of an electoral district to be in one administrative unit and another part in another unit.
Referring to this provision, the Hungarian national minority in Zakarpattia Oblast demands the restoration of Tisza electoral district, which existed prior to 2012, but in 2012 the Hungarians were divided between 73rd, 68th and 69th electoral districts, where they now are the minority of voters, which deprived them of the ability to elect their own deputy to the Verkhovna Rada.
They have been denied every time, so the Zakarpattia Hungarian Culture Society since 2014 was threatening to sue Ukrainian government in the ECHR for refusing to set up an electoral district that would include territories of compact ethnic Hungarian habitation.
The Foreign electoral district of Ukraine is an electoral district, which unites electoral precincts, that are situated outside of the territory of Ukraine, and which comprises all polling station located inside embassies and consulates of Ukraine and inside military bases abroad, where there are Ukrainian peacekeeping contingents.
In the Foreign electoral district there vote those Ukrainian citizens, who on the day of voting are living or just travelling abroad.
Foreign district has many differences from usual electoral districts on the territory of Ukraine, but the fundamental difference is that it only aggregates votes cast abroad and do not bear the function of parliamentary representation, since majoritarian deputies are not elected there.
Also, the Foreign district does not have its own district election commission, its duties are carried out by the Central Election Commission.

The Anniversary of Lucha Libre in Estado de México Shows is an annual professional wrestling supercard event, scripted and promoted by the Naucalpan, State of Mexico based International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) professional wrestling promotion.
Al Gusto some years the show has been combined with shows that commemorate the opening of Arena Naucalpan in December 1977.
At times IWRG has promoted one of their annual shows as part of the anniversary celebration, such as the Rey del Ring or Prisión Fatal.
The earliest match reports from Arena KO Al Gusto are dated December 12, 1962 with a main event battle royal that featured wrestler-turned-promoter Adolfo Moreno as one of the participants.
In 2006, Dr. Bennett was appointed by then Texas Governor Rick Perry as a Board Chair, among other positions, on the Texas Board of Professional Engineers.
Research at BRIMR focuses on the structure and regulation of protein kinases, their downstream signaling pathways, and therapeutic drugs that inhibit these enzymes.
The United States Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of about 50 protein kinase inhibitors for the treatment of several cancers including those of breast, kidney, and lung and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis.
An important component of the Institute’s fundamental research involves the study of the nature of the interaction of these anticancer and anti-inflammatory agents with their target protein kinase enzyme.
Institute studies are based upon the X-ray crystallographic results that are in the public domain as well as in-house computer-generated models of drugs binding to their targets.
However, the Institute uses results from the research areas of biochemistry and molecular, chemical, structural and cancer biology in an effort to understand the mechanisms of action of protein kinase inhibitors and the aberrations that result in neoplastic growth.
The Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research has monitored NIH funding to Medical Schools as well as other health science schools and organizations since 2006.
BRIMR generates an annual ranking of NIH funding for US Medical Schools and their Departments and the BRIMR data is considered to be the gold standard for medical school research metrics.

Finis Conner (born July 28, 1943) is an American entrepreneur and pioneer of the disk drive industry, founding industry leaders Shugart Associates, Seagate Technology and Conner Peripherals.
Conner Peripherals, a major HDD manufacturer, was founded in 1987, and by 1990 had become the fastest-growing start-up in the history of U.S. commerce up until that point.
Conner found a job as a clerk-typist at IBM and put himself through college, earning a degree in industrial management from San Jose State College in 1969.
In 1985 John Squires left Miniscribe and with financing from Terry Johnson (another Miniscribe founder) founded CoData to work on a new 3.5-inch disk drive.
In 1986, Conner merged his then defunct company Conner Peripherals into Squires and Johnson's CoData, adopting the name Conner Peripherals for the merged entity.
Conner had trouble finding finance from venture capitalists, so he approached Compaq Computer, which was looking for a new disk drive for a portable computer that was under development.
The subsequent HDD, CP341, established the popularity of the ATA interface supplied by Western Digital.By 1990, Conner Peripherals was the fastest growing start-up company in the history of US commerce, beating the competition with HDDs that were lighter, more compact, and consumed less power.
According to Finis Conner, one key aspect of success was to buy all the components (heads, disks, motors, chips) from other manufacturers but to excel in high-volume assembly and manufacturing.
For its fiscal year ending December 31, 1995 Conner reported about $2.4 billion in revenue compared to Seagate's fiscal year revenue of $4.5 billion.
With homes in Pebble Beach and Palm Springs, a collection of classic cars, private planes, yacht, speedboat and a near-professional golf game, Mr. Conner has become the epitome, or perhaps the caricature, of the Silicon Valley executive made good.
Shanqi (; 5 October 1866 – 29 March 1922), courtesy name Aitang, was a prince of the Aisin-Gioro clan, the ruling clan of the Qing Dynasty, as well as a minister in the late Qing.
Hooge was the eldest son of Hong Taiji, and was supported by the Yellow Banners in his bid to become emperor after his death.
However, after a decision by an assembly of Manchu nobles and authorities, Fulin, the ninth brother, was chosen as emperor (becoming the Shunzhi Emperor, while Hooge kept his position of Prince Su.
Shanqi served as the tax supervisor of Chongwenmen, as a commander in the Army, as a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and as an early leader within the Beijing gendarmerie and Qing police system.
During the early days of the Xuantong Emperor (Puyi), when plans to assassinate the regent, Zaifeng, by Wang Zhaoming were revealed, Shanqi was questioned by Zaifeng.
In early 1909, Shanqi, as the head of civilian affairs, drew up a plan to cut down administrative spending and focus more on police personnel as a way to reduce police spending as a whole.
Shanqi refused to accept the abdication of Xuantong and was smuggled to the Japanese concession of Port Arthur in the Kwantung Leased Territory.
In 1912, Shanqi gained Japanese support to create an independent Manchu state under Puyi along with his 14th daughter, Jin Bihui, whom he had allowed to be adopted by Kawashima Naniwa (Jin Bihui changed her name to Yoshiko Kawashima to reflect this).
Before and after the Manchu Restoration by Zhang Xun in 1917, two Manchu-Mongol independence movements were launched, both of which ended in failure.
The 1916 Manchu-Mongol Independence Movement, supported by businessman Okura Kihachiro, involved a one million yen investment to the Royalist Party, who held an army in Manchuria, composed of restorationists and Mongolian bandits.
General Tanaka Giichi was to assist him in capturing Mukden and setting up a Manchurian state North of the Great Wall, eventually striking Beijing.
This uprising was to be started on 15 April 1916, and timed to be at the same time as the National Protection War.
After Yuan Shikai's death, the Japanese decided that if the new President of China, Li Yuanhong, was responsive to the Japanese, Japan would give their support to the Chinese government.
It is situated northwest of Coquihalla Summit, northeast of Alpaca Peak, and southwest of Guanaco Peak, its nearest higher peak, by a mere one metre.
Precipitation runoff from the peak drains west into headwaters of the East Anderson River, or east into headwaters of the Coldwater River.
The mountain was named for the vicuña, as part of the animal names theme for several other nearby peaks that were submitted by Philip Kubik of the 1974 first ascent party.
In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Vicuna Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Range where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.
The average Human Development Index (HDI) for the state of Tamil Nadu in 1996 calculated by the government's State Planning Commission was 0.636.
The 2017 Human development Index was calculated by the state planning commission by the methodology of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) was 0.708.
While comparing with the 2003 data, the latest report has also shown that the two sets of reports are not strictly comparable.
While the Human development index in the report of 2003 had placed Chennai, Kanchipuram, Kanyakumari, Thoothukudi and Coimbatore as the districts in the top five positions, the latest report of 2017 shows that Kanyakumari has taken the first position.
The role of the Church in education and medical sectors from the early 19th century can be also attributed to Kanyakumari's top position.
Compared with the previous Tamil Nadu's Human Development Reports by the state planning commission and the latest district-level government statistical report, Tamil Nadu has significantly improved its HDI in all of its administrative subdivisions.
The decline of the poverty rate has been very significant for Tamil Nadu, that it takes much of the pain to the political criticism against the Dravidian parties about corruption in the administration.
The substantial reduction in urban and rural poverty at a huge level since the economic improvements of the 1990s, shows that poverty reduction and social well-being programmes have brought in rising incomes for the poor.
Kanyakumari also has the highest literacy rate in the state, this can also be attributed to the role of the church in the education and medical fields.
Coimbatore, in spite of its high degree of industrialisation and Per capita income, does not rank in the top five districts with high Human Development Index in the report of 2017.
Though the two sets of reports are not strictly comparable given the separation of some districts between the two time points, some relative observations are made.
According to the latest report, Kanyakumari has reached the top position, while Coimbatore does not even figure in the top five.
Virudhunagar’s rise to the top has been primarily due to its relatively higher per capita income which in turn can be connected to the spread of small scale industries, and a vibrant agricultural marketing economy.
Gloria Ouida Lee or Siew Yoke Kwan (née Hong), also known as Gloria Purdy-Lee (14 July 1908 – 13 April 1995) was a Chinese-Australian miner.
She is included in the archive collection of the Women's Museum of Australia, formerly known as the National Pioneer Women's Hall of Fame.
Lee was born in a creek under a tree, in Stuart (what would become Alice Springs), Australia, in 1908, the youngest child of Ah Hong and Ranjika.
As a child the government attempted to take Lee and her siblings Ada and Dempsey, to live at The Bungalow, and institution for Aboriginal children.
Her father protected them from being taken from him by threatening to shoot the policeman who was sent to take the children.
Lee would later attend school at The Bungalow, where she was taught by Ida Standley, during the day, but was not required to live there.
Ranjika died in childbirth in 1914 and in 1918 Ah Hong sold his market garden and took his three children to China, to be cared for by relatives.
It was a yearlong journey; the family had to first travel to Darwin by horse and buggy before taking a ship.
In China she was welcomed by her father's family who, although aware her mother was Aboriginal, welcomed her with open arms and was respectful towards her.
Her father spent a year in China with Lee and her siblings, and then returned to Alice Springs alone in 1920.
While Lee lived in China, she went to school, learning to read and write in Cantonese, until she was 15 or 16 years old.
She purchased the land herself with her earnings from mining and hospital work, and she managed and supervised the construction of her house herself.
Lee became pregnant with the child of Englishman Fred 'Lofty' Purdy; she was rejected by her father for not marrying a Chinese man.
Lee and Purdy married at the Catholic Church in Alice Springs and lived in a simple house, with dirt floors, near her father's market garden which was now located on Gap Road.
Lee and Purdy had four daughters together in the 1930s - 1940s: Valencia, Olive, Peg and Joyce, all of whom all attended school at Our Lady of Sacred Heart Convent School.
In 1953, after the breakup of her marriage, Lee moved to Brisbane where she eventually married William Lee, a Chinese man.
The purpose of the centre is to provide indigenous people with the knowledge and technologies for creating sustainable food production and healthy lifestyles.
Lee's oral history was tape-recorded as part of a project for the National Library of Australia documenting the lives of Chinese Australians.
The National Youth Parliament concept in Ghana is to provide a single formalized youth structure at the district, regional and national levels for the youth to air their frustrations, deliberate on matters of importance to youth development, and hold duty bearers accountable.
it is basically aimed at providing the platform to mobilize the youth for action through providing accountability, transparency and equitable society for the ready youth.
The National Youth Authority aims at establishing youth parliaments in all Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) of the Region and this is geared towards providing the political space for the youth to participate effectively in the decision making process in the various local government structures.
The membership of the Youth Parliament shall be as much as practicable opened to both in-school and out of school youth in the country base on the level he/she falls under.
The first skatepark to receive historic designation was the Bro Bowl, in Florida, listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
By the end of the 1970s, the popularity of skateboarding had waned, and the original parks of the era began to close.
A downturn in the overall skateboard market in the 1980s, coupled with high liability insurance premiums, contributed to the demise of the first wave of skateparks.
Visegrád Mountains is the direct northern neighbour of Pilis Mountains.Although the two ranges form a geographical unit as both of them officially belong to the Transdanubian Mountains, Visegrád Mountains rather connects to Börzsöny and North Hungarian Montains.
The highest peak of the range is Dobogó-kő (699 m above sea level), a hiking and ski resort area with a panoramic view on the Danube Bend.
Witherspoon started his military career in the United States Army, enlisted in the Coast Guard in 1963, where, after promotion to Quartermaster First Class, he was invited to attended Officer training school, and was commissioned an ensign, in 1971.
He was only the second individual of African-American descent to command a cutter, and was the first individual of African-American descent to command a Coast Guard Base.
In 1994 the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), named Witherspoon and a Coast Guard colleague Cynthia M. Morris, as recipients of the Roy Wilkins Meritious Service Award for their achievements in civil rights.

Ah Hong (c. 1857 - 1952) was a Chinese market gardener who spent most of his life in Alice Springs, and was a well regarded figure in an era of considerable prejudice towards Chinese people in Australia.
When Hong first arrived in the Northern Territory, some time in the 1870s, he first worked in the Top End on the Pine Creek goldfields and then the North Australia Railway before moving to Central Australia as a cook for the crews building the Overland Telegraph.
He later described witnessing many of the thousands of fellow Chinese immigrants dying in the harsh labor conditions of railway construction.
Once in Central Australia, he first worked as a cook at Bond Springs Station and then, briefly, as a miner at Arltunga.
In 1892 Hong settled in Alice Springs, then known as Stuart, and established a market garden on Todd Street on what is now the site of Megafauna Central (see: Todd Mall).
Hong met and married Ranjika, a Western Arrernte woman, and they ran the garden together with the help of Bulabaka, one of Ranjika's three sons from a previous relationship.
Education for his children was important to Hong and he sent his two eldest children, Dempsey and Ada, to school in Oodnadatta before the establishment of the first school in Alice Springs in 1914 where the children were taught, with other Aboriginal children, by Ida Standley at The Bungalow.
Following the death of Ranjika in 1918, Hong took his children to China to be cared for by his family there.
Once in Alice Springs again, Hong established a market garden on a new site, on Gap Road, where he also established an eating house for single men who were welcome to 'roll out their swags' in the garden for the price of a meal and built a large stone oven to become one of the town's first bakers.
It was called the Japanese Hospital, but is not to be confused with the Japanese Charity Hospital that was formed by the Japanese Benevolent Society and later became the Kuakini Medical Center.
In 1970 he received his doctorate in drum music about the Hausa people in North-West-Nigeria and in 1972 became a lecturer at the Folkwang University of the Arts.
He began his studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli, and completed them in Rome, where he came under the influence of the Neoclassical painter Vincenzo Camuccini.
In 1843, he was introduced to Emperor Pedro II of Brazil, who hired him as a court painter and Master of Painting for the Empress consort, Teresa Cristina.
At the age of thirty-three, he became the leading artist in Brazil and was charged with reorganizing the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in Río de Janeiro.
Six years later, in 1849, the Chilean Consul in Brazil, Carlos Hochkolf, invited him to come to Chile and help establish an art academy there.
He served as director of the Academy of twenty years; focusing on the European Academic tradition, with focus on the Greco-Roman canons.
Despite these criticisms, most of Chile's prominent painters of the time began as his students; including Nicolás Guzmán Bustamante, Pascual Ortega, Pedro Lira, Cosme San Martín, Onofre Jarpa and Agustina Gutiérrez.
His works include an unknown, though large, number of portraits as well as religious and mythological scenes; based on Classical models.
Later, she obtained a master's degree in experiential health and healing from The Graduate Institute and a holistic health certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
Immediately after going vegan, Singer volunteered at PETA's headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia for a week, and began steering her career toward animal rights activism.
It tells her struggles with disordered eating, society's mistreatment of overweight people and how she lost almost 100 pounds after starting to look after herself.
It also touches on her experiences of having a difficult childhood, being bullied while growing up, animal rights and her sexuality.
In January 2010, Singer and Mariann Sullivan, an animal law professor at Columbia Law School, co-founded the non-profit organization Our Hen House, which produces multimedia content aimed at helping people to create change for animals.
The Our Hen House website includes interviews, podcasts, reviews, food advice and networking tips, which are divided into categories such as law, academia and arts.
The organization relies on grants, donations and consultant fees from clients, including the Mayor's Alliance for New York City's Animals and the Eastern Shore Sanctuary in Vermont.

A volcanic crater lake is a lake in a crater that was formed from explosive activity or collapse during a volcanic eruption.
Sources of water loss singly or together may include evaporation, subsurface seepage, and, in places, surface leakage or overflow when the lake level reaches the lowest point on its rim.
At such a saddle location, the upper portion of the lake is contained only by its adjacent natural volcanic dam; continued leakage through or surface outflow across the dam can erode its included material, thus lowering lake level until a new equilibrium of water flow, erosion, and rock resistance is established.
Crater Lake is fed solely by falling rain and snow, with no inflow or outflow at the surface, and hence is one of the clearest lakes in the world.
The highest volcano in the world, 6,893-m (22,615-ft) Ojos del Salado in Chile, has a permanent crater lake about in diameter at an elevation of on its eastern side.
At around 100 km (60 miles) by 30 km (18 miles) in extent and 505 m (1,656 ft) deep at its deepest point, Lake Toba is the largest crater lake in the world.
Gas discharges from Lake Nyos (Cameroon) suffocated 1,800 people in 1986, and crater lakes such as Mount Ruapehu's (New Zealand) often contribute to destructive lahars.
Precipitation runoff from the peak drains west into headwaters of the East Anderson River, or east into headwaters of the Coldwater River.

Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Guanaco Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Range where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.
Cogniat was responsible for the French pavilion at the Venice Biennale between 1956 and 1960, and called for Paris to host a similar event.

In 10 October 2008, Biraj Adhikari seceded from SHRP, and established the new party, Sikkim National People’s Party (SNPP) for fighting with SDF.
In the Sikkim Legislative Assembly election of 2009, Biraj Adhikari contested from 2 constituencies (Rhenock and Chujachen), Tseten Dorjee Lepcha contested from Djongu constituency and Barfungpa contested from Gangtok constituency.
However, SNPP could not be registered in the List of Political Parties of Election Commission of India (ECI) before the election period, so Adhikari and other SNPP candidates had to run as independent candidates.
In both 2019 Sikkim Lok Sabha Election and 2019 Sikkim Legislative Assembly election (Rhenock constituency), Biraj Adhikari stood as the candidates of HSP.
The 2016 LEN Super Cup was the 35th edition of the annual trophy organised by LEN and contested by the reigning champions of the two European competitions for men's water polo clubs.

The range was surveyed in 1934 by geologist Yuri Bilibin (1901—1952) together with mining engineer Evgeny Bobin (1897—1941) in the course of an expedition sent by the government of the Soviet Union.
After conducting the first topographic survey of the area Bilibin established that this chain consists of three parallel ridges with pointed, often rocky peaks, and that it belongs to the Verkhoyansk Mountain System.
The Sette-Daban is a range located in southeastern Yakutia, at the southern end of the Verkhoyansk Range, part of the East Siberian System of mountains.
It is bound in the north by the Tompo River and the Ulakhan-Bom, in the south and east by the Allakh-Yun River valley, beyond which rise the Dzhugdzhur Range and the Stanovoy Highlands, to the west by the Aldan River valley beyond which rises the Lena Plateau.
The slopes of the range are covered by larch forests, giving way to dwarf cedar thickets and mountain tundra at elevations above .

The series, created by Richard and Esther Shapiro and produced by Aaron Spelling, revolves around the Carringtons, a wealthy family residing in Denver, Colorado.
The season also features Christopher Cazenove as Blake's brother, Ben Carrington; Kate O'Mara as Alexis' sister Caress Morell; Terri Garber as Ben's daughter Leslie; Leann Hunley as Blake's secretary Dana Waring; and Cassie Yates as Sarah Curtis, and old friend of Dex's.
During the period between the production of seasons six and seven, Catherine Oxenberg vacated the role of Amanda Carrington, purportedly due to a salary dispute.
As the seventh season begins, Blake stops short of killing Alexis, who has taken all of his assets, including the mansion.
Claudia has died in the fire she set at La Mirage, and Amanda (now played by Karen Cellini) is rescued by a returning Michael Culhane, Blake's chauffeur from the first season.
Blake turns the tables on Ben and Alexis and recovers his wealth, but loses his memory after an oil rig explosion.
Living with a clean slate, Alexis finds herself softening to Blake but ultimately tells him the truth as he reunites with Krystle.
Krystina receives a heart transplant but is later temporarily kidnapped by Sarah Curtis, the mother of the girl from whom Krystina received her new heart; Sammy Jo's marriage to Clay crumbles and she falls into bed with Steven; Amanda leaves town; and Ben's daughter Leslie arrives.
Adam's season-long romance with Blake's secretary Dana Waring culminates in a wedding, which is punctuated in the May 6, 1987 season finale by Alexis's car plunging off a bridge into a river and the violent return of a vengeful Matthew Blaisdel (Bo Hopkins).
The 1974–75 Shatt al-Arab clashes refer to Iranian-Iraqi standoff in the Persian Gulf region of Shatt al-Arab waterway during the mid-1970s.
It was the most significant dispute over the Shatt al-Arab waterway in modern times, prior to the Iran–Iraq War of the 1980s.
The treaty established the waterway border on the eastern bank of the river except for a four-mile anchorage zone near Abadan, which was allotted to Iran and where the border ran along the thalweg.
Iran sent a delegation to Iraqi Republic soon after the Ba'ath coup in 1969 and, when Iraq refused to proceed with negotiations over a new treaty, the treaty of 1937 was withdrawn by Iran.
The Iranian abrogation of the 1937 treaty marked the beginning of a period of acute Iraqi-Iranian tension that was to last until the Algiers Accords of 1975.
Several other attacks took place; however, Iran had the world's fifth most powerful military at the time and easily defeated the Iraqis with its air force.
As a result, Iraq decided against continuing the war, choosing instead to make concessions to Tehran to end the Kurdish rebellion.
Saddam Hussein claimed that the Islamic Republic of Iran refused to abide by the stipulations of the Algiers Protocol and, therefore, Iraq considered the Protocol null and void.

Born on 6 March 1918, Lilly Brændgaard Jacobsen was the daughter of the housepainter Martinus Julius Jacobsen (1892–1960) and Ane Kathrine Lauridsen (1898–1973), a seamstress.
When she was 14, after training as a seamstress and tailor, she was able to make a living altering clothes the clothes people brought to her, even during the war years where there was a shortage of materials.
At the time, she was living alone with her nine-year-old son from her first marriage but on 10 July 1947, she married Svend Brændgaard Hansen (1919–2000), a mason and carpenter, who owned the building housing her studio.
Initially, with the help of two seamstresses, she sewed coats, suits and everyday clothing but after 10 years she decided to concentrate on wedding dresses.
By the time the firm celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1997, there were nine stores in Denmark, 13 in Germany and a substantial export business with the United Kingdom and Japan.
Her children and grandchildren increasingly took over the firm's operations but Brændgaard herself continued to carry out design work and serve on the board.
She had to commit to memory all actors' roles at the stage as she did not hear her counter person's words.

Ronald Nevill Damian Miller known almost exclusively as Damian Miller (10 February 1915 - 20 May 1990) was a pilot and pastoralist who spent much of his life in Alice Springs.
Miller was born in 1915 in Melbourne, Victoria, the son of Septimus and Helen Miller and he attended Xavier College as a young man where he became friends with Sam Calder whom he would remain friends with for the rest of his life.
After he left college he made friends with Edward Connellan, another man who would become a huge part of his life and he introduced him to Calder.
When World War II broke out Miller and Calder immediately volunteered for the RAAF but first flew to Alice Springs to help Connellan establish Connellan Airways; which Miller helped finance (on a secured loan basis), with the assistance of his wealthy grandfather Henry Miller.
Miller was called up early in the war, initially as a pilot instructor and then as a pilot on a Catalina squadron based in the Top End.
In this squadron Miller once flew 11 hours of an 18 hour flight on only one engine after the aircraft had been severely damaged by Japanese air-aircraft fire at Kavieng, Papua New Guinea.
The navigational instruments had also being damaged and the crew had to jettison fuel and ammunition as they flew over enemy territory through heavy rain.
In 1947, on a trip to England to purchase two Rapide aircraft's, Miller met and married Anne Fletcher at Yeovil in Somerset and following their marriage the two flew the planes home.
This was a difficult trip as fuel had to be left a aerodromes apart across Europe and Asia and the planes had no radios.
Miller also bought a share of Hamilton Downs Station in 1952 and built a new homestead, he eventually acquired sole ownership in 1968.
In 1972 Miller donated the ruins and site of the old Hamilton Downs homestead to the Apex Club of Central Australia, who turned it in to Hamilton Downs Youth Camp, which officially opened on 11 March 1978.
Jean-Louis Bonnemain, born on 7 May 1936 in Bignac (Charente), is a French plant physiologist specialising in the transport of photosynthesis products, phytohormones and plant protection products in plants.
In charge of teaching natural sciences, he also undertook research on the Solanaceae conductive device at the university scientific college in this city.
He developed a microautoradiography method to locate soluble radioactive molecules in plant tissues with unprecedented precision at the time, which enabled him to be admitted to the CNRS (attaché and then research fellow) from 1964 to 1970.
He was appointed lecturer (2nd class professor) at the University of Lille 1 in 1970 and then 1st class professor at the University of Poitiers in 1975.
However, various families of advanced plants are characterized by the presence of an internal phloem located on the periphery of the bone marrow and even, sometimes, by the presence of a phloem included in the wood, in fact supernumerary phloem whose functions were not well known.
During his thesis, Jean-Louis Bonnemain showed that the external phloem and supernumerary phloem of Solanaceae form a complex network with junctions at precise levels and highlighted their specific function in supplying nutrients to precise plant organs .
Then, with his students and some colleagues, he helped to highlight one of the two mechanisms allowing the export of photosynthesis products from the leaves (proton-saccharose symport, proton-amino acid symport) , and demonstrated by an immunological approach that phloem companion cells ensure the energization of this export.
This investigation has been extended to intergenerational nutrient exchanges, the functioning of sensory motor cells, the study of the impact of abiotic and biotic stress (aphids) on nutrient compartmentalization and cell growth , and the search for specific nutrient transporter inhibitors.
After showing for the first time in the past that the polarized circulation of auxin from the terminal bud took place in the cambial zone, he led work on the transport of several phytohormones, including stress hormones, with an emphasis on auxin because it is strategically positioned to regulate the production of conductive tissues and indirectly controls plant branching.
Finally, after studying pesticide systems in relation to industry, he programmed the synthesis of conjugates, which was carried out within a team of chemists.
The current focus is on the vectorization of delayed conjugates combining defence molecules and an amino acid, as part of a reduction in pesticide use.

He was Chairman of the Management Board of the French plant genomics program, Génoplante, from its inception in 1999 to 2002.
In July 1984, amateur paleontologist Kurt Wiedenroth discovered a fragmentary pterosaur skeleton in the clay pit of Engelbostel at the southern edge of the city of Hanover.
The holotype, SMNS 56628, was found in rocks of the Stadthagen Formation dating from the earliest Hauterivian, about 132 million years old.
It contains the front and the rear of the symphysis of the lower jaws, a right articular, a rib piece, the distal ends of a left radius and ulna, the proximal and distal end of a left third metacarpal and a piece of a phalanx, probably the first of the left third finger.
The symphysis of the lower jaws has at the midline of its front an odontoid, or tooth-like, process, formed by a confluence of the side ridges of the occlusal groove, in the top surface of the joint dentaries.

He is moving into Neuroscience research after an internship in Dr. Edith Hamel's laboratory at the Montreal Neurological Institute (Canada), where he will also spend a year as a cooperator.
Back in France, he enrolled in a PhD thesis in the Inserm team of Dr Constantino Sotelo at the Salpêtrière Hospital and Pierre et Marie Curie University (currently Sorbonne University).
He will study the migration of neurons in mouse embryos and the development of connections between the brain stem and the cerebellum.
He joined Dr. Corey Goodman's laboratory at the University of California at Berkeley (USA) for a post-doctoral fellowship where he contributed to the identification of new receptors involved in axon guidance and various diseases, including cancers .
Alain Chédotal was recruited at Inserm in 1997 and set up his own team first at the Salpêtrière Hospital, then on the Jussieu campus, before joining the Institut de la Vision in 2008 (Inserm, CNRS, Sorbonne University, Hôpital des Quinze-Vingts).
In 2018, Alain Chédotal is coordinating Inserm's transversal HuDeCA research programme, which aims to establish the cellular mapping of the human embryo.
Since his thesis, Alain Chédotal has been interested in the development of neurons (called commissuraux) whose axons interconnect the right and left halves of the brain.
These neurons allow 3D vision, the localization of sounds in space, the coordination of muscle contraction during movement, especially during walking.
Their abnormal development is at the origin of neurological diseases such as mirror movements or HGPPS, a rare disease (mutation of the ROBO3 gene) that combines severe scoliosis and strabismus In a series of articles published over the past 20 years , Alain Chédotal has identified some of the molecular and cellular mechanisms controlling axon guidance and neuron migration in several brain regions.
His recent work has called into question the existence of a chemotropism of commissural axons, one of the dogmas in the field.
He has recently demonstrated that certain guidance molecules are key regulators of normal and pathological angiogenesis, and that blocking these signals could potentially be used to treat neovascular eye diseases.
Alain Chédotal's laboratory has developed an innovative technique for three-dimensional imaging by optical cutting of thick, whole samples (mouse embryos, postnatal brain) made transparent using organic solvents and imaged with a light-sheet microscope.
This method revolutionizes and facilitates the way in which the neuroanatomical organization of the brain, but also of all tissues, can be studied.
He applied this method to the study of human embryonic and foetal development and began to build the first 3D cellular atlas of human embryonic development.
Alain Chédotal has been a member of EMBO since 2019, of the Academia Europaea since 2016 and of the French Academy of sciences since 2017 and is currently Vice-President of the Scientific Council of the Foundation for Medical Research.
It is the birthplace of the illustrious Chalencon family, later allied with the Polignacs, one of the most important of Velay.
There is a controversy because the niches are the work of the architects of Viollet-le-Duc, a medieval site restorer under Napoleon III.
Given the location of the tower, it was more likely a flat tower where a fire was maintained during the misty winter nights so that merchants and pilgrims could spot each other.
It should not be forgotten that Chalencon was above all a commercial centre for which crossing of the was subject to a toll.
The remains of the Château de Chalencon are on the summit of a rocky outcrop dominating the Ance river, consisting of three terraces at different levels, of which one, to the west, overlooks the village.
There is a keep, a round fortified tower at the top with crenellations, two corner turrets, partly rebuilt at the beginning of the 20th century, and some windows from the end of the 13th century.
The chapel seems to date from the end of the 11th century, with alterations in later times including the construction of a large window in the 15th century.
It is not far from the 12th century Devil's Bridge (historic monument) and the ruins of the so-called prefecture building that would have housed the administration's justice rooms.
The election only took place in territory under the control of the Syrian government, with special constituencies set up for areas outside of government control.
Legal opposition parties such as the Syrian National Youth Party and the Syria Watan Party criticized the election for not being fully democratic and did not stand any candidates.
The Ministry of Local Affairs claimed that turnout of the election was 56%, although some sources say that turnout was lower at 26.5%.
The leaves are small (15mm x 7mm), ovate, glandular and down-curved, with thickened margins, and grow densely packed along the stems.

Dance Halls of Brisbane in the twentieth century were popular venues for entertainment, socialising and reflected styles of music, architecture, popular culture and city planning.
Private dances and balls in small halls around Brisbane eventually gave way to a larger audience experience, particularly after World War I and the advent of jazz music.
Exhibition week was one of the most popular weeks in the city's dance calendar, as rural visitors came into Brisbane for the Brisbane Exhibition held in August each year and the event was commemorated with a public holiday.
All styles of dance were available in Brisbane and the variety of arenas available made it possible for dancers to choose the venue they could best afford to attend.
With the advent of talking motion pictures and the popularity of film musicals throughout the 1930s, people were keen to emulate their film idols such as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
During World War II there was likely to be somewhere to dance at least three times a week, when almost 1 million United States military personnel were stationed on the east coast of Australia during the war in the Pacific.
After 1957, music changed with the advent of rock and roll and promoters brought in acts from overseas to appeal to modern tastes.
Dance styles changed from the ballroom or modern styles featured in the 1920s and 1930s, jitterbug of the WW2 era to rock and roll of the 1950s.
This dance hall was in a wharf adjacent to the Victoria Street Bridge at South Brisbane and was designed by architect Ronald Martin Wilson.
The Caledonian Society and Burns Club occupied a number of buildings in Brisbane, including Centennial Hall before settling at 46 Elizabeth Street, Brisbane.
The Addie Cantwell Palais Ballroom opened in the 1930s at 436 Adelaide Street, Petrie Bight on the site of the dance hall previously known as the Ritz.
Centennial Hall opened in 1888 and was located in Adelaide Street, between Albert and Edward Streets (where the present day Reserve Bank of Australia building is located).
Its remodel with a design by Lange Leopold Powell in the 1920s emphasised Art Deco decoration and the building included marble stairs and a flat auditorium floor which could seat 700 people when not in use as a dance hall.
A funicular railway ran from the main road at Breakfast Creek up the hill to provide easy access to the hall.
After the war the floors were replaced by the military and featured one inch tongue and groove boards that were not nailed.
It was a concert venue in the 1950s, and featured Australian and international performers such as Buddy Holly, Johnnie Ray, Paul Anka, Jerry Lee Lewis and others.
A services club for African American soldiers was established in 100 Grey Street, South Brisbane opposite the train station, during World War II.
Finneys department store at 196 Queen Street (where the present day David Jones department store is located) featured a room on their fifth floor that could seat 700 and was offered for dances.
Lennon's Hotel was originally situated in George Street but was rebuilt in 1941 to a design by Emil Sodersteen, and again in 1972 at its present site in Queen Street.
Lennon's offered a small dance floor from the 1920s and due to its status as the town's leading hotel, attracted celebrities visiting Brisbane for performances and other events.
Ozanam House, the St Vincent de Paul Hall in Gotha Street, Fortitude Valley opened in 1937, built to a design by J. P. Donoghue and offered another venue for dancing.
Jack Busteed ran a dance studio from 1948 in a building in Post Office Square in Adelaide Street and demonstrated jive.
The South Brisbane Tech or South Brisbane Municipal Library and Technical Institute was built in 1881 to serve as the South Brisbane Post Office.
The Trocadero Dansant opened in 1923 as a high class dance hall in South Brisbane, taking advantage of the popularity for jazz style music particular to the 1920s.
It was demolished in the 1950s to make way for the construction of the rail line connecting South Brisbane station to Roma Street station.
During World War I the regiment served on the Italian Front and distinguished itself at Monfalcone and Selz, earning a Silver Medal of Military Valour.
For its conduct and work after the 1976 Friuli earthquake the squadrons group was awarded a Bronze Medal of Army Valour, which was affixed to the battalion's war flag and added to the battalion's coat of arms.
After the end of the Cold War the Italian Army began to draw down its forces and the Cavalleggeri di Treviso were one of the first units to disband.
On 31 March 1991 the squadrons group was deactivated and the Cavalleggeri di Treviso's war flag was transferred to the Shrine of the Flags in the Vittoriano in Rome.

With a total of 36 professorships and about 3,700 students in 12 study courses, the Department of Computer Science is the largest department of the university.
The institute was concerned with automating computing using mechanical and electromechanical devices and developing machines that could be used to solve mathematical problems.
Due to the reputation that TH Darmstadt had at that time in automatic computation research, the first congress on the subject of computer science (electronic calculators and information processing) held in German-speaking countries with international participation took place at TH Darmstadt in October 1955.
The Darmstadt Electronic Calculator (DERA), which was completed in 1959, was created with the help of the German Research Foundation (DFG).
Two decades before the invention of programming languages, algorithms were tested on the computing station and successfully used to process problems from industry.
In 1957, Walther made sure that TH Darmstadt got an IBM 650, which was the most powerful computer at that time.
In 1961, in response to Walther's efforts, the German Computer Center (DRZ) was founded in Darmstadt, the first mainframe computer center in Germany with which TH Darmstadt entered into a cooperation to train mathematical-technical assistants.
To counteract this, the Federal Committee for Scientific Research adopted a programme for the promotion of research and development in the field of data processing for public tasks on 26 April 1967.
The advisory board, which consisted mainly of representatives of universities and non-university research institutions, was responsible for the implementation of the programme.
At the seventh meeting of the advisory board on 15 November 1967, Karl Ganzhorn, who at the time was responsible for research and development at IBM Germany, signalled the problems of industry in finding skilled personnel.
The director of the Institute for Information Processing at TH Darmstadt, Piloty, pointed out that the German universities were responsible for training qualified personnel.
The committee formulated recommendations for the training of computer scientists, which provided for the establishment of a course of studies in computer science at several universities and technical colleges.
However, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering was the driving force, which is why in the same year the first computer science course of study in Germany was established at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering on the basis of Pilotys and Oppelts study regulations.
In the spring of 1969, Hartmut Wedekind and Robert Piloty had travelled through the USA together for several weeks to study the faculties of computer science there.
This conference met for the first time on 15 May 1972, so that on that day the Department of Computer Science was officially established.
One of the founders was Peter Schnell, who was chairman of Software AG for many years and today, with his Software AG Foundation, is one of the largest donors in Germany.
The history of business informatics goes back to Peter Mertens, who studied industrial engineering at the Technische Hochschule Darmstadt (TH Darmstadt).
In 1968, Peter Mertens was appointed to the first chair in the German-speaking countries focusing on economic data processing at the Johannes Kepler University Linz.
In the same year, Hartmut Wedekind, former systems consultant at IBM Germany, represented the Chair of Business Administration at TH Darmstadt for the first time.
The history of artificial intelligence goes hand in hand with the appointment of Wolfgang Bibel, who had been rejected by professors at the Technical University of Munich because they did not believe in the future of artificial intelligence.
In the winter semester 1985/1986 Bible represented the chair at the Technische Hochschule Darmstadt (TH Darmstadt) as deputy professor for the first time, to which the university later appointed him.
He accepted the call to TH Darmstadt on 1 October 1988 and became Professor of Intellectics at the Department of Computer Science.
He built up the necessary institutions, conferences and scientific journals and provided the necessary research programmes to establish the field of artificial intelligence.
For the academic year 1991/1992 he took over the office as Dean of the Department of Computer Science of TH Darmstadt.
In his time, he also built up his research group and made the Technische Universität Darmstadt (TU Darmstadt) one of the leading universities for artificial intelligence worldwide.
By 2017, twenty-five of his doctoral students or staff had become professors, so that the majority of today's German AI researchers are graduates of TU Darmstadt.
For his achievements he was honored by the Gesellschaft für Informatik as one of the ten influential minds in German AI history.
At the same time Kristian Kersting, Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, founded the initiative Artificial Intelligence at TU Darmstadt (AI•DA), a unique model that coordinates different research groups to advance the development of artificial intelligence.
Kersting was awarded in 2019 for his scientific achievements as a Fellow of the European Association for Artificial Intelligence (EurAI) and as a Fellow of the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS).
In 2019, the TU Darmstadt was selected as a founding location of ELLIS with the aim of establishing a top AI research institute.
Three years later, Darmstadts universities and research institutions founded the Competence Center for Applied Security Technology (CAST), the largest network for cyber security in the German-speaking world.
Claudia Eckert, who also headed Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology (Fraunhofer SIT) from 2001 to 2011, was appointed Professor of Information Security at the Technische Universität Darmstadt.
IT security was institutionalized in 2002 with the founding of the Darmstadt Center for IT Security (DZI), which became the Center for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt (CASED) in 2008.
The European Center for Security and Privacy by Design (EC SPRIDE) was founded in 2011 as a result of the efforts of Buchmann and Waidner.
In 2015, CASED and EC SPRIDE merged to form today's Center for Research in Security and Privacy (CRISP), the largest research institution for IT security in Europe.
In the same year, the German Research Foundation established the Graduate School for Privacy and Trust for Mobile Users on the initiative of Max Mühlhäuser.
One year later, the Federal Ministry of Finance decided to make the Darmstadt region an outstanding location for the digital transformation of the economy.
In a worldwide competition organized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the XMSS signature method developed by Buchmann and his team became the first international standard for post-quantum cryptography in 2018.
The history of the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology (Fraunhofer SIT) dates back to 1961, when the German Computer Center (DRZ) was founded in Darmstadt on the initiative of Alwin Walther.
At that time, the German Data Center was equipped with one of the most powerful mainframe computers in Germany, making it the first mainframe data center in Germany.
Under the direction of Heinz Thielmann, the Institute increasingly dealt with IT security issues and with the advent of the Internet, IT security became increasingly important, so that in 1998 it was renamed the Institute for Secure Telecooperation.
In 1975, José Luis Encarnação founded the Research Group Graphic Interactive Systems (GRIS) at the Department of Computer Science of the Technische Hochschule Darmstadt.
In 1977 he and his research group introduced the Graphical Kernel System (GKS) as the first ISO standard for computer graphics (ISO/IEC 7942).
A working group resulting from this cooperation was taken over by the Fraunhofer Society and the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research (Fraunhofer IGD) was founded in 1987.
According to the funding report 2018 of the German Research Foundation (DFG), the Technische Universität Darmstadt received the highest number of competitive grants in the field of computer science in the period under review from 2014 to 2016.
In a competitive selection process, the DFG selects the best research projects from researchers at universities and research institutions and finances them.
The Department of Computer Science is spread over several locations, but the buildings are located in or around the city center of Darmstadt.
In 2017, the Argonaut robot, developed by a team led by Oskar von Stryk, won the ARGOS Challenge for intelligent inspection robots on oil and gas platforms, which the company Total S.A. had launched.

In May 2017, the company launched the test preparation and coaching centres for entrance examinations like Joint Entrance Examination – Advanced, Medical, and Pre Foundation and has classroom coaching centers in Jaipur, Bhopal, Indore, Lucknow, and Haldwani.
In September 2015, Extramarks launched an Android app called Extramarks Smart Study, which allows students to study for Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and ICSE curricula, ranging from pre-primary (kindergarten) and Class 1 to Class 12.
In August 2017, it developed an app called Total Learning, which allows students to access the curriculum-mapped learning solutions at home and lets teachers and parents track and monitor the student's performance.
In October 2017, Extramarks Education was tied up with Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) to provide digital learning solutions to BSNL users.
The company partnered with Power Grid Corporation of India to offer digital solutions at Indian Army-run schools in Jammu and Kashmir in January 2018.
The digital solutions learning programme, facilitated by Extramarks was inaugurated by General Bipin Rawat, the Chief of the Army Staff (India) at Army Goodwill School, Pahalgam, on May 25, 2018.
Three hours after the polls closed, the result was clear enough for Moderate Party leader Fredrik Reinfeldt to declare himself the victor and for Göran Persson to announce his resignation as Prime Minister and as leader of the Social Democratic Party.
The Speaker had asked Reinfeldt to begin this formation on 19 September but, as is usual, requested the Cabinet of Göran Persson to stay on as a caretaker government until the Riksdag formally elected a new prime minister.
The election result is historic in being the worst result for the Social Democrats ever in a general election with universal suffrage (introduced in 1921) and the best result for the Moderates since 1928.
Minor parties, that are not represented in the Riksdag, got a total of 5.7% of the votes, which was an increase of 2.6 percentage points, compared to the 2002 election.
Behind this increase lay a great success for the Sweden Democrats, gaining 2.9% (+1.5 percentage points) and thus surpassing the limit (2.5%) for gaining governmental financial support for the next four years.
Although the results for the Moderates and the Social Democrats both were rounded to 26.9 %, the Moderates were the largest party in Uppsala Municipality by 15 votes or 26.89 % versus 26.88 %.
Although both tallies were rounded to 46.5 %, the left bloc won Markaryd Municipality by one vote or 46.51 % versus 46.49 %.
Croatia qualified for and competed in three consecutive World Cup tournaments between 1998 and 2006, but failed to qualify for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa after finishing 3rd in Group 6 behind England and Ukraine.
Although they had joined both FIFA and UEFA by 1992, they were unable to enter the 1994 World Cup as qualification had started before the side was officially recognised as a state.
In the following three World Cup groups they were eliminated after finishing third in all of them, before finally advancing further than the group stage at the 2018 World Cup.
On 11 July 2018, Croatia won their semi-final match against England, advancing the national team to their first FIFA World Cup final wherein they secured second place as runners-up against winners France.
The following table provides a summary of the complete record of each Croatia manager including their results regarding World Cups and European Championships.
directly subject to the Holy See, that extends its jurisdiction over all the Eastern Catholic faithful of the Byzantine Rite who live in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
The presence of Catholic faithful of the Byzantine rite in Central Asia dates back to the 17th century, but was sporadic until the 20th century, when their number increased considerably due to the forced mass deportations carried out in the Stalinist era.
From 1939 to 1953, some 150,000 faithful of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church were transferred to Central Asia: most of them were to Kazakhstan.
About 150 priests were deported with the faithful, including the blessed martyrs Oleksiy Zarytskyi and Nykyta Budka, and the Servant of God Alexander Chira.
After 1991, with the dissolution of the Soviet Union the activities of the Catholic Church, even of the Byzantine rite, became normal.
Greek-Catholic parishes were erected in Karaganda, Pavlodar, Astana, Satbayev, Shiderty and Almaty: in addition to these parishes the Byzantine rite Catholics form a dozen communities, scattered in other places.
In 1996 here was appointed by the Holy See an Apostolic Visitor, who was replaced in 2002 by Apostolic Delegate and depended from the Congregation for the Oriental Churches.
The Headies Award for Best Collaboration is an award presented at The Headies, a ceremony that was established in 2006 and originally called the Hip Hop World Awards.
It is a short narrow street mostly known for public display of decorative and artistic plaques dedicated to writers who have lived and worked in Vilnius or otherwise have shared a connection with Vilnius and Lithuania.
The artwork was first added in 2009 when Vilnius was designated as the European Capital of Culture and has grown to some 200 plaques.
Its name originates from the many printing houses and bookstores which were located in the street or from the fact that prominent poet Adam Mickiewicz briefly lived there in 1823.
The historical context of the work is the Long Turkish War and the loss of the position of the southern Slavs in the rule of the Ottoman Empire after the hanging of Michael Kantakouzenos Şeytanoğlu (March 3, 1578) and the assassination of Grand Vizier Sokollu Mehmed Pasha (October 11, 1579).
The Venetian Republic, through its protégés, Validе Sultanas, succeeded in displacing the Republic of Dubrovnik from its position in the Mediterranean trade by constructing a port in Split.
Typically, these are made of latex or silicone rubber and designed to be pulled over the head as a form of theatrical makeup or disguise.
Mass civilian casualties of Israeli bombing, shelling and rocket attacks on the Gaza Strip have occurred in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, in which Israeli bombing attacks on the Gaza Strip cause numerous civilian fatalities.
The reason for such operations is purportedly to carry out targeted assassinations of militants from Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other groups seen to be a threat to Israel, whose Shin Bet data banks monitor thousands of Palestinians for targeting.
Israel regards such cases as either unfortunate 'errors', the consequence of civilians being used to shield militants or as acceptable collateral damage.
On 22 July 2002 an Israeli F-16 dropped a one ton bomb on the three-story apartment where Salah Shehade and his family, together with numerous other families, dwelt in the midst of the Daraj residential neighbourhood of Gaza City full of many other apartment blocks.
The then Israeli Minister for Defense, Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, stated that their information was that no civilians were in the building at the time.
Dan Halutz, a year latter, admitted that when taking the decision, both the government and the IDF were fully aware Shehadeh's wife was with him, but went ahead with the operation nonetheless.
Halutz in an interview where he called on NGOs like Gush Shalom to be incriminated for treason for exposing the realities, also stated no changes would be made in the decision-making and operational procedures that led to the bombing.
In protesting the operation, 27 Israeli pilots signed a letter expressing their refusal to continue to participate in bombing flights over Gaza.
The Zeitoun Incident took place on 5 January 2009 during Operation Cast Lead, after members of the Samouni extended family had been herded out of their homes and told to relocate in another building.
In a dawn raid on the 4th, a raid into one Samouni house, using grenades and live fire, killed Ateya al-Samouni and severely wounded a four year old child, Ahmad, who was refused medical treatment.
One of the Samoiuni men was fluent in Hebrew from working as a mechanic in Israel for 35 years and introduced the gathered members of Samouni family to Givati soldiers.
The men were blindfolded and led away, and eventually 100 people, mostly women and children, were corralled into a cement block warehouse for storing fruit and vegetables.
The day after the latter was subject to artillery fire and missiles from either a drone or an Apache helicopter overhead, killing 21 members of Wa'el al-Samouni's family while wounding dozens of others.
The airstrike was ordered by Colonel Ilan Malka, then commander of the Givati Brigade, who had called up the attack after interpreting drone photographs of a cache of wooden boards the family had stacked to light a fire and heat water as rocket propelled grenades.
The men had ventured out that morning through the front door to scrounge up some firewood, and an Israeli military outpost lay a mere 80 metres away, troops were positioned on rooftops and patrols were regular with frequent interactions with local residents.
Three days later, the IDF finally permitted Palestinian rescue teams to enter the area, and recovered 13 family members, several children, still alive.
On their evacuation, the IDF bulldozed the house, and, after the conclusion of hostilities, family members came across hands and legs still poking out up from the rubble.
Malka was reprimanded later for using tank fire on heavily populated areas and was then appointed supervisor in the Israeli prison Service(Shabas), at least half of whose detainees are Palestinian.
Despite investigations both by an internal command unit and a Military Police Investigation Unit, according to B'Tselem, no reason has ever been forthcoming for the shelling.
In May 2012 Mag's Major Dorit Tuval stated that investigations excluded claims civilians were deliberately harmed or the victims of criminal negligance.
For the period in question, they did indict a soldier for stealing a Palestinian civilian's credit card, another for using a 9-year-old boy as a human shield, and a third for the manslaughter of a Palestinian whose identity was not known.
On 9 January 2014, at around 4 pm, Israel launched at a minimum four mortar shells which caused 35 dead at two different sites, in Jabalia, within 100 metres of each other, and an estimated 40 other casualties.
One shell landing in the courtyard of the al-Deeb family home where, unable to purchase bread, the family had sat down to bake it, and killed 11 people gathered there, while the other three hit al-Fakhura street, killing another 24.
The Goldstone Mission concluded that firing mortars into an area were 1,368 people were crowded, in a nearby UNWRA school, in order to kill a small number of militants - Israel later alleged a mortar had been fired at their forces from somewhere in that vicinity - cannot meet the terms of proportionality for warranting the military advantage gained thereby.
In what it called Operation Protective Edge launched on 8 July 2014, Israel announced it would strike houses of senior Palestinian activists in Gaza and residences which were deemed operative centres.
To avoid casualties, it stated a roof knocking procedure and telephone warnings would be given in advance to alert civilians inside to evacuate within 5 minutes.
At about 1:30 pm on 8 July 2014, the families in Ahmad Kaware's apartment block were informed of the imminent bombing of their 3-storey 7 apartment home, and were instructed to leave.
An hour and twenty minutes later, at 2:50 pm, a drone-launched missile was observed to have struck the building's solar heated water tank on the roof.
As the missile flew to its target, people were observed on the roof, but no technical means were available to avert the attack.
In its initial declaration the IDF stated that this and other homes bombed that day were attacked because they were the homes of militants.
A later comuniqué, reportedly adjusting the justification in order to comply with international law distinctions, reframed the bombing as one aimed at operative military centres.
At 11:40 pm on the same day, 8 July 2014, just as the family had retired to bed, the home of Hafez Hamad in Beit Hanoun was bombed without, according to B'Tselem, any prior warning.
At 11.30 pm on 9 July 2014, during the opening phase of Israel's attack on the Gaza Strip, 9 youths gathered at the Fun Time Beach café run by the al-Sawalli family on the beachfront at al-'Izbeh, near Khan Younis to watch a match between Argentina and the Netherlands in the 2014 FIFA World Cup knockout stage were killed when an Israeli missile destroyed the shack.
Around midnight on 1 August 2014, without prior warning, an Israeli airstrike struck the home of Rafat Oudeh Mohammed Zoroub in western Rafah killing 15 family members, 4 women and 11 children, A further 4 people in the building at the time were wounded.
On late Sunday afternoon, 5 May 2019, a complex in the al-'Atatrah neighborhood comprising a grocery store and 3 residential units, owned and inhabited by the extended al-Madhun family in the western sector of Beit Lahiya were targeted for an airstrike.
The purpose of the strike was to kill 'Abdallah al-Madhun the son, known to be a local operative for Islamic Jihad's armed wing, Saraya Al-Quds.
On 5 May 2019 at 5:40 pm in succession three Israeli missiles, including a GBU-39 series guided bomb, struck the lower floors of the 6 floor Zoroub building in Rafah.
Both Moamer and Shaer were, according to a survivor, seated in the café on the second floor when, several seconds later, two further missiles struck.
Local testimonies said that Islamic Jihad had had a media office in the building, until they moved to another location three months earlier.
Three hours after the al-Madhun strike, at 8 pm on Sunday 5 May 2019 an Israeli airstrike on a building in the Sheikh Zayed residential complex of Beit Lahiya killed six civilians from two families resident on the top fifth floor.
According to testimony by the al-Jidyan couple's surviving son, Muhammad Abu al-Jidyan, no prior warning, either by telephone or roof knocking had been given.
After the Israeli targeted assassination of Baha Abu al-Ata triggered a round of fighting, Gazan militants responded and the incidents escalated.
Over two days 34 Gazans, half of them according to Palestinian sources, civilians, were killed, while 111 were injured and 63 Israelis required medical treatment.
Just before hostilities ended, 9 members of the Malhous family, including five children and two women, related to the Bedouin Al-Sawarka clan, were killed when an IAF air raid deployed two fighters armed with four JDAMs to target two flimsy tin sheds in Deir al-Balah, one of several in a complex of rundown shacks and greenhouses, where the family lived.
The high resolution aerial photography available for such targeting should have revealed that what the Israeli military called a compound, to be nothing more than two shacks.
According to local sources they were a simple sheep and goat-herding folk who had resided there, in a shack devoid of water and electricity, for a long time, some claimed 20 years.
It is no secret, Gazan sources say, that top commanders in the area do not live in squalor, as did the family of Abu Malhous.
Initially the IDF's Arabic-language spokesman, Avichay Adraee falsely claimed that the father Abu Malhous had been in command of Islamic Jihad's rocket squadrons in central Gaza.
The report was declared to be false by Haaretz, and admitted to be so later by Israeli Defence officials who looked into the matter.
It was reported that Avichay Adraee based his statement on a rumour circulating among civilian users of an Israeli Telegram group, and that the army's original identification of the shack as terrorist infrastructure was based on rumours in social media.
It emerged that Israeli intelligence hadn't reportedly controlled the target for a year prior to the strike, that no check had been conducted to ensure civilians were not present, and that the site had not been reexamined by Israeli intelligence agencies in the preceding months.
Islamic Jihad identified the photo of the assumed Jihad militant provided by the IDF spokesman as the victim of the strike as that of another person, a commander in Rafah, who is still alive.
Eleven other members, including his third wife Wesam and six of their children, were recovered in critical condition at the al-Aqsa Hospital in Gaza City.
Abu Malhous's brother, Mohammad, an employee of the Palestinian Authority which constitutes the opposition to Hamas rule, was also listed as one of the 34 casualties.
In December 2019, the Israeli investigation admitted a mistake had been made from an error in its data base, that had failed to note that it was a civilian area with, in the IDF's view, had some military use', for which Palestinian factions were to blame.
Had they been Israeli citizens, the state would have moved heaven and earth to avenge the blood of its famous little boy, and the world would have reeled in shock at the cruelty of Palestinian terror.
Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, said that it would call on the International Criminal Court to look into the incident.
Farhan Haq, speaking for the office of UN Secretary General António Guterres, urged Israel to move swiftly to investigate the incident.
The governing power of the Gaza Strip, Hamas, broached the idea of asking the International Criminal Court to examine the incident.
Club Sportiv Viitorul Ianca, commonly known as Viitorul Ianca (), or simply as Ianca, is a Romanian football club based in Ianca, Brăila County.
Founded in 2003 as the second team of town, after Liga III member Petrolul Brăila, the club reached the third tier twice, now being the only active football club in the locality known for oil exploitation.
Although launched harder in the Romanian football elite due to the smaller economic strength of the locality and the lower importance of the drilling rig, compared to Ploiești or Moreni, Petrolul Ianca Brăila had a brilliant journey in the late 1980s and with consistent developments during the 1990s.
This was going to be their last participation in the second tier, but the club near Brăila continued to register important results in the third tier, where it was ranked second on three occasions: 1996, 1998 and 1999.
The financial crisis of 2007–2008 took Petrolul Ianca Brăila to dissolution and one of the new clubs from the city that tried to continue the football tradition was Viitorul Ianca.
In 2009 Viitorul promoted as well, also being reorganized administratively, reason for which the year 2009 appears on the logo of the club, but has relegated after one season spent at this level.
The third team that tried to be the main team of the town, Fortino, won Liga IV – Brăila County in 2012, but subsequently lost the promotion play-off and was dissolved.
With CSO and Fortino dissolved, Viitorul Ianca took its chance and started to impose itself as the new team of Ianca, finally being also supported by the town, both financially and emotionally and promoting back in the Liga III in 2019, when it won Liga IV – Brăila County and the promotion play-off match against Mausoleul Mărășești, Vrancea County champions.
The stadium was built in the 1980s and renovated in 2009 with the support of the Town of Ianca and the Brăila County Youth and Sport Directorate.

He was promoted to the temporary rank of lieutenant colonel on August 7, 1942 and assumed command of 3rd Defense Battalion on May 15, 1943.
Lieutenant colonel Benner was ordered to Hawaii in August 1943 and was appointed a member of the Joint Staff, Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet under Admiral Chester Nimitz.
He served in the Planning section, Logistics Division until December 1944 and was decorated with Navy Commendation Medal by Nimitz for preparation of plans for advanced bases in the Central Pacific area, captured from the Japanese.
He was responsible for the co-ordination of Army, Navy and Marine Corps efforts in the disposition of forces required for the operation and maintenance of the advance bases.
His command was formed by III Marine Amphibious Corps and consisted of the 2nd, 5th, 8th, and 16th Antiaircraft Artillery (formerly Defense) Battalions.
Benner led his Group during the Okinawa Campaign and as Senior Anti-Aircraft Artillery officer, he was responsible for the coordinating the disposition and operation of his organic radar with that of the Air Warning Squadrons in order to ensure maximum surface and lowangle electronic surveillance for defense against enemy air attacks.
By the end of April 1945, his Anti-Aircraft Artillery group was responsible mainly for the defense of Yontan area and also for Yontan-Kadena sector.
Following the War, Benner was ordered to Washington, D.C., where he was appointed to the Personnel Division, Headquarters Marine Corps under Major general John T. Walker.
He served as Assistant Director of Personnel for several months in 1950 and later was ordered to the Coronado, California, where he joined the headquarters of Amphibious Training Command, Pacific Fleet under Brigadier general John T. Selden.
He later served as Commanding officer, Marine Barracks at Brooklyn Navy Yard until 1955, when he was appointed Commanding officer, Service Battalion at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
Benner remained in this capacity until June 30, 1956, when he retired from active service and was advanced to the rank of brigadier general for having been specially commended in combat.
Upon his retirement from the Marine Corps, Benner settled in Columbus, Ohio, where he died on September 10, 1975, aged 71.
He traded in England before moving to South Africa and becoming the first agent for the Standard Bank of South Africa in Port Elizabeth.
Croll's early career was spent in Britain trading as a merchant with South Africa from Hastings in Sussex, possibly importing wheat or wine.
From at least 1845 he was resident in South Africa trading as a merchant in the Colony of Cape of Good Hope.
His wife was related to the wealthy diamond merchant Richard Townroe (1831-1889) and Croll may have had involvement in that trade.
In 1863, as Alexander Croll & Company, he was the first agent for the Standard Bank of South Africa, discounting bills for the bank through his offices in Port Elizabeth through which the bank started operations in the colony.
He became a director of the bank and was also a director of the London and South African Bank and Graham's Town Fire and Marine Assurance Company.

Paulette Sybil Flint (born 25th November 1953) is a local historian and author in Gladstone, Queensland, Australia and is an independent history columnist for The Observer (Gladstone).
On graduation from Gladstone State High School, Flint won a State Scholarship and then went on to graduate with a Diploma of Teaching (Dip.
She then transferred to Kin Kora State School, Gladstone, where she taught lower school and acted in the capacity of Key Teacher for the Year 2 Net.
Flint attended the Summer School for Teachers in January 2007 which was seen by the Australian Government as a reward for high-achieving teachers.
In 2007 she was employed at Kin Kora State School as Special Education Teacher, and was promoted to Head of Department (Head of Special Education Services) at Kin Kora State School, Gladstone.
Flint joined the Genealogical Society Gladstone District Incorporated (then known as Genealogical Society of Queensland, Gladstone branch) early in 1992 and has held various management committee positions from 1992 - present.
For 21 years, this annual community event has involved students interviewing and writing the life stories of seniors over the age of 70, who have lived in the Gladstone area for over 30 years.
The stories are printed in a collectors’ section of The Observer (Gladstone) and are displayed with photos and memorabilia from the seniors at the exhibition at the Gladstone Regional Art Gallery and Museum.
Flint is regularly consulted when local history information is sought and was involved in research for some local mysteries, such as finding the descendants of Reverend John Campbell after his 100-year-old diary was discovered in a charity bin in Gladstone in 2012.
Flint assisted in locating living relatives of one of the Australian soldiers who had left graffiti in the Naour tunnels on the Western Front.
According to an AERES report from December 2013, the CMLS is an excellent institute for fundamental mathematics with an abundant scientific output at the highest international level.
Despite its small size, the CMLS is a prestigious institute in mathematics, with its tradition of excellence in fundamental research, its outstanding mathematicians, its international influence, the seminars it co-hosts, and its editorial activity.
The Mathematics Center was officially established on May 1, 1965, with a Scientific Council composed of Laurent Schwartz, Pierre Samuel, François Bruhat and Jean-Pierre Kahane, and actually began its activity in 1966.
The municipal territory is bathed by the bay of Mussulo, managing two islands that are in this one, being the islet of Birds and the island of Desterro.
Beers can be aged in barrels to achieve a variety of effects, such as imparting flavours from the wood (from tannins and lactones) or from the previous contents of the barrels, or causing a Brettanomyces fermentation.
The flavours imparted by oak barrels differ widely depending on the oak species, the growing area, and how the wood has been treated.
Timmermans is one of the oldest existing breweries, dating back to 1702, and the production of the blended lambic derivative gueuze is believed to have started in the same year.
Rodenbach Classic contains a blend of young beer with beer matured on oak for two years, whereas Rodenbach Vintage consists entirely of beer that has matured for two years in one selected foeder.
Another Belgian sour beer style, Oud bruin is not typically barrel-aged, although there are some examples from both Belgium and North America.
Large oak vats were once the norm for fermentation and storage of beer in England, a fact made notorious when one of these burst in London in 1814, killing eight people.
In the era of craft beer, some breweries produce exclusively barrel-aged beers, notably Belgian lambic producer Cantillon, and sour beer company The Rare Barrel.
Others also specialise in barrel-ageing particular beer styles, such as Põhjala which has a focus on Baltic porters and Jester King with its Méthode Traditionnelle.
The microflora from the wood contribute to a spontaneous fermentation and brewing activity was concentrated on the colder months of the year to avoid spoilage.
The barrels used by traditional Belgian lambic breweries can be up to 150 years old, and the lambic ageing process typically lasts from one to three years.
New barrels are rarely used by lambic brewers - instead used barrels are procured from the wine regions of Spain, Portugal, Greece, and especially France.
Most pipes are used port wine barrels that came into wide use in lambic production after World War I when port became a popular drink in Belgium.
However, the High Council for Artisanal Lambic Beers (HORAL) objected to the name, and the two parties arranged a meeting in Belgium.
Imperial stouts are often aged in bourbon barrels, which impart flavours of American oak (coconut, dill, sweet spices), accentuated by charring of the barrel interior.
Each distillery uses its own blend of oak and its own level of charring, leading to distinct differences in the sorts of flavours that brewers can derive from the used barrels.
This means that a barrel can only be used once to age true bourbon whiskey, a fact that turns a used barrel into a surplus item for a bourbon distillery.
It was first produced by Greg Hall in Chicago in 1992, when Jim Beam gave the brewer a couple of used barrels.
Chicago also hosts an annual Festival of Wood- and Barrel-Aged Beer (FoBAB), the world's largest beer festival and competition of its kind.
Some early successes were Founders KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout), The Bruery's Black Tuesday and The Lost Abbey's Angel's Share (barley wine).
The result was the Ola Dubh range of barrel-aged black ales, aged in whisky casks of varying ages up to 40 years.
Since bourbon barrels are only used once, they are often sold on to producers of other spirits who eventually sell them on again to breweries for barrel-ageing beer.
The Bruery, which specializes in experimental barrel-aged and sour beers, has used bourbon, rye, brandy, rum, tequila, Scotch whisky and many other spirit barrels to age beer for anywhere from six to eighteen months.
Unlike bourbon barrels, whose alcohol content kills off bacteria like Lactobacillus and Pediococcus and the wild yeast Brettanomyces, emptied wine barrels are often a breeding ground for them.
While these microflora are considered a problem for most brewers and winemakers, they are essential in the creation of the many sour beer styles inspired by Belgium's sour ale tradition.
In 1997, brewmaster Vinnie Cilurzo began making a series of heavily wine-influenced beers, like Temptation (chardonnay barrels), Supplication (pinot noir) and Consecration (cabernet sauvignon).
Allagash's Brewing's Coolship range of beers are sponaneously fermented and aged in French oak wine barrels, for one to three years.
French oak is denser, more mildly flavoured, and far more expensive than American oak, as its flavour contributions are thought to be more balanced.
An example is Great Divide's Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout, which is aged on a blend of French and toasted oak chips.
In 2017 Innis & Gunn decided that barrel ageing didn't need to take place in a barrel and could be done in as little as five days.
They attempted to redefine the term to include a forced, wood flavouring process that only they use and that the rest of the industry doesn't recognise as barrel-ageing.
A backlash from other brewers using the term in its traditionally understood sense ensued and the outcome is, to date, unresolved.
While cleaning the gutters, the ladder falls and Greg is stuck on the roof until he climbs in through the bathroom window.
Greg is stressed due to a school-wide test, and he details that a large hole has been cut in the side of the house, exposing an infestation of wasps and mice.
An extension to the house is destroyed for being too close to a neighbor's residence, and the rest of the inheritance money is spent on fixing the hole.
Later, Susan tells Greg that his school's funding is being cut due to low scores on the test, suggesting that they move neighborhoods and to a new school district.
Greg's family attempts to sell their own house, which is successful when a family chooses to buy it on the condition that the hot tub is removed.
As Greg tries to explain his departure to Rowley, he learns of a scheduling error and sees that his house is already being moved out.
The buyers now decide against moving in, and Greg admits that he was not ready to move, glad to remain Rowley's best friend.
He realized that he had not yet written a book about Greg moving and considered the idea a good fit for the series.

Lancaster's Middle Cemetery is located south of the town's current village center, on the east side of Main Street (Massachusetts Route 70), south of the Nashua River.
It occupies a roughly rectangular lot about in size, fronted by a low stone retaining wall and fringed by woodlands, fields, and a railroad right-of-way to its east.
Two entrances in the wall provide access, marked by granite posts, and vehicular circulation within the cemetery is provided by unpaved tracks.
Burials in the cemetery include descendants of many of the town's early settlers (who are themselves mostly interred in the nearby Old Settlers' Burying Ground), and the site of Lancaster's first and second meeting houses is marked near its northeast corner.
Its first meeting house was built on this parcel in 1657; it was burned (along with all the other builings in the town) in a 1675 Native American attack in King Philip's War.
This site remained otherwise vacant until 1798, when the town acquired one acre for use as a cemetery, its first two cemeteries nearing capacity.

The film features Prabha, Udhai and newcomer Unni Maya in lead roles, with Sarvamathi, Padmakumar, Kadhal Dhandapani, Mahanadi Shankar and Tiruppur Selvaraj playing supporting roles.
The film begins with Kesavan (Udhai), after serving a prison sentence, being on a train back home to Palani and he reminisces about his past.
Aadhi lived with his widow mother and worked in a small workshop while Kesavan lived with his wealthy family and he was jobless.
One day, Kesavan scolded Aparanji (Unni Maya) at the hospital for not doing her job well but later, he felt guilty for insulting her and wanted to apologize.
Thereafter, he came to know that Aparanji was a medical student who was on an educational trip in Palani and they eventually befriended.
Kesavan was still afraid of expressing his love but Aparanji finally came to know about it and she gave him a love letter before going to her native town Tiruppur.
At a jewellery shop, Kesavan bought bangles for his lover with his friend Aadhi and a police inspector (Mahanadi Shankar) suspected him of stealing his wife's bangles.
In Tiruppur, Aadhi challenged Subramani in his house that his friend Kesavan will marry Aparanji but their first attempt failed as Thirthagiri (Tiruppur Selvaraj) intervened.
Later, Subramani explained to the four friends that the gangster Thirthagiri wanted him to give his daughter to his brother but Subramani refused.
The 2020 Montreal Impact season was the club's 27th season of existence, and their 9th in Major League Soccer, the top tier of the Canadian soccer pyramid.
Montreal has eight slots allotted from the league and the team acquired one spots in a trade with the Nashville SC.
Lancaster's Old Settlers' Burying Ground is located south of the town's current village center, on the east side of Main Street (Massachusetts Route 70), south of the Nashua River.
It occupies about , located at some distance from the roadway, between local railroad tracks and the Nashua River on an elongated rise largely surrounded by wetlands.
Its accessible either via the eastern end of the town's Middle Cemetery, or via an unpaved cart track roughly paralleling the river north of that cemetery.
Its oldest markers exhibit crude carving, and the oldest identifiable burial is the grave of Dorothy Prescott, who died in 1674.
Its first meeting house was built on what is now the Middle Cemetery, and land nearby was apparently set aside at an early date for a burying ground.
Most early burials in the community are believed to have been informal, on family properties, and often without any formal markers.
It is not known where the roughly 50 victims of the attack are buried; the town was abandoned for five years after the attack, and burials may have been either here or near where the victims were slain.
In 1937, the locally prominent Thayer family gave additional land to this cemetery at its eastern end, and it is there where a number of its deceased are interred.

The car can be built from its predecessor, and is set to be eligible in a series of Championships worldwide, such as the European Le Mans Series, and the IMSA Prototype Challenge.
While the car was launched on the weekend of the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans, it was not physically seen until September 2019, with the car at Le Mans being a repainted M30.
On 23rd of May 2018, the Automobile Club de I'Ouest announced a brief outline for the 2020 Generation 2 Le Mans Prototype 3 (LMP3) regulations, alongside new chassis models from four approved manufacturers – Onroak Automotive (Ligier), Duqueine Automotive (Norma), ADESS AG and Ginetta being announced as granted homologation for the new ruleset.
On 7th of February 2019, the ACO announced the new 2nd Generation Le Mans Prototype 3 (LMP3) regulations, with full implementation due by 2021, and with the cars being expected to be raced from 2020 to 2024.
Following the unveiling of the car in June 2019, the car underwent its shakedown at Le Pôle Mécanique Alès-Cévennes, with Romain Dumas, at the wheel, before testing moved to the Circuit Paul Ricard, with Nico Jamin at the wheel.
The car had its public track debut during the post-season testing for the 2019 European Le Mans Series, at the Algarve International Circuit, in Portimão, alongside the Ligier JS P320.
Key differences between the Norma M30 and the Duqueine D-08 include a re-designed front-splitter, modified side pods, a new engine cover and rear wing.
Compared to the other 2020 LMP3 cars, the D-08 is 10kg heavier for the 2020 season, due to a weight penalty being imposed on the car as a result of a late submission of homologation paperwork.

Mockingbird Elementary School, formerly known as Stonewall Jackson Elementary School, is a public elementary school located in the Lower Greenville neighborhood, in East Dallas, Dallas, Texas.
In previous periods it had about 100 districtwide deaf students and 100 zoned families, but by 2007 the school's popularity among neighborhood parents increased.
Due to the situation, in 2012 some parents opposed a rezoning proposal to expand an area apartment complex as they feared it would make overcrowding even worse and make the district change attendance boundaries.
The school was renamed effective July 1, 2018, as the former namesake was a general in the Confederate States of America during the U.S. Civil War.
The impetus for the renaming was the Charlottesville car attack that occurred the previous year in the backdrop of the Unite the Right rally.
The school community was to choose a new name, and it was required to be substantially different from the previous one.
There were fifty proposals submitted, including one with Henderson's name; in December 2017 the community selected the current name, based on the school's Mockingbird Street location.
The school's deaf curriculum shifted to the total communication approach from the oral communication approach around 1972, and as a result the institution modified its approach to hearing aids.
By 1999, 17% of the students were classified as special education, and they were placed in classrooms with regular students as an effort to mainstream their education.
In 2011 the school had about 40 deaf students, the largest number enrolled at the time in a single DISD elementary school.
In 2018 former teachers reported that due to the increasing importance of meeting Texas state accountability goals, the school no longer gave all of its students ASL instruction.
While 87% of the students in DISD in 2010 were considered to be of low socioeconomic status, that year 30% of Stonewall Jackson students were of low socioeconomic status.
In 1996, the second grade class of Evelyn Painter began a garden, and her husband Mark Painter volunteered to help have it planted.
In 2007-2008, after Mark Painter was laid off due to DISD budget cuts, parents started a campaign called Stonewall Gardens to generate funding so the school could employ him again, and it did.
Residents of the Mockingbird zone are also zoned to: J. L. Long Middle School (6-8), and Woodrow Wilson High School (9-12).
Bangladesh Atomic Energy Regulatory Authority () is a Bangladesh government regulatory agency under the Ministry of Science and Technology responsible for regulating nuclear energy in Bangladesh.

The attack on the Medan Police's headquarters occurred on 13 November 2019, at around 8:40 AM, shortly after the conclusion of a routine morning roll call by the police officers.
According to reports, the attacker had blended in with a group queueing to obtain cerficates of good conduct before detonating the bomb in the parking lot.
Other eyewitness accounts reported the attacker wearing a jacket and backpack, and that he had attempted to rush through police examination at the building's entrance.
The attacker was initially believed to be a lone wolf, and the explosion injured four police officers and two civilians aside from killing the attacker.
Though his body was blown up, the perpetrator was identified from fingerprints as a 24-year old resident of the city, Rabbial Muslim Nasution, who had recently been an online motorcycle driver.
Initial investigations explored Nasution's connections with the Islamic State-affiliated Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), and several of his family members were questioned by police.
According to his parents-in-law, Nasution had shown a significant change in behavior in the six months leading up to the suicide attack, which police officials linked to indoctrination by a cleric, who was being sought after by Polri.
Following the attack, Polri launched several raids in parts of the country, and a week after the attack reported that 74 terror suspects had been apprehended - more than half of which were arrested outside North Sumatra.
Some of the suspects were known to have been attending training camps in Karo Regency, and weapons including improvised firearms, airsoft guns, traditional blades, and bows were confiscated.
Deputy Speaker of the People's Consultative Assembly Zulkifli Hasan commented that Polri had been caught off guard by the attack, as with the attack on security minister Wiranto.

The organization started dedicating to the cigarette smuggling, establishing itself from the Borgo Santa Lucia to Posillipo, and from Bagnoli to Pozzuoli.
The Mazzarella clan grew rapidly and became independent from the Zazas, thanks to Ciro Mazzarella, who since the 1960s demonstrated his entrepreneurial abilities, buying small ships and starting his own smuggling empire.
In the late 1980s the Mazzarellas formed a strong alliance with the Misso and Sarno clans, called Misso-Mazzarella-Sarno, to oppose to the rising power of the Secondigliano Alliance, headed by the Licciardi, Mallardo and Contini bosses.
However, in 2008, this alliance was broken after the fall of the Sarno clan, bringing the eastern suburbs of Naples to a new and bloody war.
In 1996 Marianna, daughter of Luigi Giuliano, boss of the Giuliano clan, married Michele Mazzarella, son of Vincenzo Mazzarella, the union served to strengthen the relations between the two most important clans of Camorra in the 1990s.
The clan has a long history of rivalry with the Rinaldi clan, which caused dozens of deaths from the bloody wars between the two groups.
According to revelations made by pentitos of the clan, despite the degree of kinship among the founders of the organization, the Mazzarellas are not united as it seems, actually, each brother has an area of their own influence inside the several territories dominated by the clan.
Born in Naples on April 2, 1940, Ciro Mazzarella aka 'o Scellone, was considered the true heir of Michele Zaza, having strong relations with the Sicilian Mafia, in particular with the Catania's mafia family.
According to justice collaborators, the late boss of the Catanian mafia, Giuseppe Calderone was the godparent in the baptism of one of the Mazzarella's sons.
He was also seen in the company of Vincenzo Casillo of the Nuova Camorra Organizzata, in fact, Mazzarella never took a side in the war between the Nuova Famiglia and the NCO, despite the top position Michele Zaza held inside the NF.
In the early 1990s Mazzarella had amassed a great wealth, in 1992 he decided to move to Switzerland, after losing a war between Camorra clans in Naples.
According to the parliamentary inquiry commission of 1996, Ciro Mazzarella headed a true illegal empire: 200 billion lire in turnover, for a net profit of over 6 billion lire monthly (€4,4 million monthly, in today's exchange).
In 2002 he was arrested in Spain, and after his release from prison in 2006, he returned to live in Naples.
On September 2, 2018, Ciro Mazzarella, died in his villa in the affluent neighbourhood of Posillipo, Naples at the age of 78.
In the country, he lived in a luxurious residence and held the reins of the clan especially for the management of drug trafficking.
The Camorra boss and member of the clan, Salvatore Zazo, was allegedly involved in a large scheme of international cocaine trafficking from Peru to Europe, with the intention to acquire total control of the Port of Callao; one of his contacts was the drug lord Gerald Oropeza, one of the biggest traffickers in Peru.
According to the DEA, Zazo would manage more than U$500 million per year in shipments of cocaine through the ports of the country to Europe.
According to the reports of the DIA about the Camorra in 2019, the Mazzarella clan, despite the death of two of its founders, still one of most powerful organizations in Campania, dominating the territory in various neighbourhoods, and having numerous groups under their influence.
The current leader of the organization is Ciro Mazzarella, born in 1971, who controls the powerful organization from his stronghold in the Mercato area, in Naples.
In 2004, Bally's Belle of New Orleans managed to have the property re-assessed by the Louisiana Tax Commission for $6.5 million, citing the market prices of former casino boats, even though Bally's was still in operation at the time.
Previously in 2002, Erroll Williams, the 3rd district assessor, assessed the riverboat at $21.6 million, noting a $33 million construction cost and a 12-year depreciation schedule.
Also in 2004, a federal probe began into Bally's reduction of its tax liability by 70%, which saved the casino $1 million over 3 years.
In late 2004, Columbia Sussex, looking to become a key player in casino operations, first expressed interest in purchasing the Bally's New Orleans property.
The sale of Bally's New Orelans to Columbia Sussex was announced in late 2004 and was projected to close in 2005.
One of the reasons for the sale of the casino was avoiding competition with Harrah's New Orleans once Harrah's had acquired Caesars Entertainment, and, at the time, the Bally's property was its smallest casino.
In 2006, the Orleans Levee Board was allowed to seize the boat by a federal judge after Columbia Sussex failed to pay $1.3 million in lease payments.
Later in 2006, voters had the chance to decide whether or not to allow the boat's relocation to St. Mary Parish.
The boat had been moved from its Lake Pontchartrain location to Mobile, Alabama for repairs after it broke loose from its moorings and slammed into a pier during Hurricane Katrina.
In 2007, after the ship was repaired in Mobile, Alabama following extensive storm damage from Hurricane Katrina, the riverboat was towed to Bayou Boeuf to its new home in Amelia, Louisiana.
Since Bayou Boeuf is part of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, it is deemed one of nine channels in Louisiana where riverboat casinos are permitted.
It became the second casino in St. Mary Parish, joining the Cypress Bayou Casino in Charenton, which became the first Native casino in the state when it opened in 1993.
Prior to that, there were plans to swap the riverboats of Belle of Baton Rouge and Amelia Belle, but those plans were scrapped when Tropicana Entertainment, owner of the Belle of Baton Rouge, filed for bankruptcy.
In 2015, the site of the former Bally's on Lake Pontchartrain near the Lakefront Airport at the South Shore Marina was planned to be re-developed into an outdoor water park and music venue.

The Lumbwa Treaty is an event and ceremony in the history, records and recollection of the Kipsigis which took place in Kipkelion town in 1905.
It involves two parties taking an oath and invoking a preemptive curse if the oath is to be broken by any party taking the oath.
There usually would also be a performance of black magic involving the skull of a human and a pipe connected to the bellows used by a blacksmith.
Moments leading to this event includes a move by the British to take the three Orgoik brothers (arap Buigut, arap Boisyo and arap Koilege) on a vacation to Mombasa where they held a negotiation and were given Maize which they brought back and introduced to the Kipsigis.
On the day of the Lumbwa treaty, the three brothers and their sons were given up by the Kipsigis and thus were sent to Kericho Prison.
The British decided to transfer the Orgoik from Kericho Prison to Russinga Island in preservation of their newly founded peace with Kipsigis.

James J. Craven, Jr. (March 24, 1919 - June 6, 1991) was a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from the 12th Suffolk District (includes parts of Roxbury, Jamaica Plain and Roslindale) starting in 1957.
Upon appeal, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) affirmed they lower court’s decision in Craven’s case against the State Ethics Commission.
Two major reasons he lost the election was the conflict of interest finding discussed below but also a December 1983 House reprimand for violating the legislature's code of ethics.
After he lost the election, he had been named to a $55,000 staff job with the House Rules Committee by former speaker Thomas W. McGee.
Even though he had only been in the position a few days, it allowed his pension to be increased by $18,000 per annum.
He is also known for playing a lead role in the Doyle-Flynn Bill, passed in 1978, which prohibited using Medicaid funds being used for abortions, until it was overturned in 1981.
Further, Craven and four of his brothers had formed Celtic Realty Trust and all five were named beneficiaries of the Trust.
Albert Buchwald and John Lawless, who were President and a Director of JPCDF at the time, were named as Trustees of the Trust.
The original, written by Larry DiTillio and Lynn Willis, had been 160 pages, with 44 separate player handouts (newspaper clippings, handwritten letters, business cards and a matchbox).
The new edition was expanded to 224 pages and had additional material provided by Geof Gillan, Kevin A. Ross, Thomas W. Phinney, Michael MacDonald, Sandy Petersen, and Penelope Love, with artwork by Lee Gibbons, Nick Smith, Tom Sullivan, and Jason Eckhardt.
However, the 44 handouts that had been separate pieces in the previous edition were incorporated into the book in this edition.
The book covers a campaign of sequential adventures that span the globe from New York, London, Cairo, and Kenya, to Shanghai, and pits the investigators against a world-wide cult that is attempting to complete a ritual that will call Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos and Outer God, to destroy the world.
There are 45 clue handouts and the place of each in the overall jigsaw must be fully understood by the referee before granting the information to the players.
Its intricacy and open-endedness ... make it a shining example of the dizzy heights to which roleplaying can and should aspire...
If ever there was a campaign - for any roleplaying system - that could be described as a work of art, this is it.

In 1949, several members of the African-American community of Espanola, led by schoolteacher Essie Mae Mack Giddens (1927-2003), traveled to Pomona Park, Florida to gather information for building plans for a one-room schoolhouse.
The plans for a new one-room schoolhouse, to be built in Espanola, were compiled and submitted to the Flagler County School Board, which promptly approved them.
After the Flagler County School Board approved the one-room schoolhouse building plans the community raised money selling ice cream and peanuts and pooled their donation money together to purchase a lot of land and build a school in their own community, which became known as the Espanola Schoolhouse.
The Pallbearer’s Society (a mutual aid network) with assistance of the Espanola community, then constructed the building and completed it in 1950.
The Espanola Schoolhouse made it possible for the area’s non-high school age black children to attend school in their own neighborhood.
Espanola community volunteers did most of the maintenance and service for the Espanola Schoolhouse during its years of operation as a school, as the deed to the building was never transferred to the Flagler County School District.
Although the Espanola Schoolhouse was part of the Flagler County School District, it did not have running water or an indoor bathroom.
It did have a wood burning stove that provided heat on cold days, a hand operated water pump in the backyard to provide water and a single outhouse in the backyard, which provided the only bathroom facilities.
In addition to African-American children from Espanola, the nearby communities of Neoga and Bimini sent their African-American children to the Espanola Schoolhouse to be educated.
There was only one fulltime schoolteacher, Essie Mae Giddens, during the time, 1950 to 1957, which the Espanola Schoolhouse operated as a Flagler County elementary school.
Mrs. Giddens arranged all eight grades of students into separate groups in the one-room building and taught different lessons to each group throughout the day.
After the 1957 school year, the Flagler County School Board moved the first grade through the eighth grade students in the Espanola area to its black segregated elementary school in Bunnell.
Frank Giddens and Queenie Jackson, performed considerable exterior and interior repairs, installed air conditioning and added a bathroom inside the building, which enabled it to be open to the public as a clubhouse (youth center).
The Espanola Schoolhouse retains its historic appearance and character and now serves the community as the St. Paul Youth Center, which is used for academic tutoring, a social center and summer camp for the area’s disadvantaged youth.
The soffit is fitted with white aluminum ventilation panels and the fascia is fitted with white aluminum trim around the entire roof.
The entire exterior of the building is painted yellow, and the trim of the small gable roof over the front porch and its two wood pillars are painted green.
The front (east) of the building includes two large fixed double pane windows and a single wood paneled door that provides the main entrance into the building.
The south side of the building includes two large fixed double pane windows, two smaller double hung windows and a single wood paneled door that provides an entrance into the rear of the building.
The interior of the building has had one room addition in the southwest section, which is the bathroom that includes a wood stud framed wall finished with drywall, a single wood paneled door and a privacy wood stud framed wall finished with drywall which were installed in 2004.
All other walls in the interior are original to the building and are finished with stucco and painted in a dual white and yellow pattern.
The ceilings are finished with drywall, painted white and include several ceiling fans, lights and an entrance panel to a crawl space beneath the roof.
The building includes a wood stud framed wall finished with plaster and a large central opening (with no door) that separates the front of the entrance-way section of the building and the schoolroom area.
The schoolroom area is mostly in original condition (with the exception of the additions of the bathroom and privacy wall extension) and is furnished with chairs, tables, books and a large television, which is used to view educational and instructional videos.
Prior to the 1880s, the area now known as Espanola was located within St. Johns County and was known as Raulerson (which was named after a locally settled family).
There were only a few scattered residents, no local railroad access, no waterway transportation and the only practical ground road transportation were wagon trails.
Around 1884, the narrow-gauge St. Johns & Halifax Railway was built right through the area, and by 1886, it connected East Palatka to Daytona.
Espanola became a well-established railroad stop and shipping point as Henry Flagler’s newly formed modernized standard-gauge Florida East Coast Railway ran right through the town.
During this same time, African-Americans began relocating to the Espanola area where they found employment opportunities mainly in the turpentine, lumber and railroad industries.
In the early 1900s, large tracts of land in the Espanola area were purchased and leased to set up turpentine still operations.
A large saw mill was built in Espanola that was connected with narrow-gauge railroads that branched into the nearby woods where virgin timber was harvested.
Now that the railroad was completed through the area and large quantities of timber was clear-cut, the mills began to close and the local economy shrank.
In 1915, the Dixie Highway was built from the Midwest to the Southern United States, and a portion of it ran right through Espanola.
This highway opened a new tourist trade as well as attracted new residents and businesses, which boosted the economy in the Espanola area.
When Flagler County was founded in 1917, from sections of St. Johns and Volusia counties, Espanola became part of Flagler County.
Since Espanola was one of the only areas in Flagler County that African-Americans could purchase property many families settled here, built homes and contributed to the community’s development.
In 1920, the population of Espanola had grown to 385, and there were many new businesses in town in addition to the hotel and camps including an automobile garage, the offices of the Neoga Naval Stores Company, a general store, post office with mail route, cafe, rooming house, barbershop, dry goods store, stave mill, grocery store and school.
The Florida Land Boom of the 1920s brought many additional travelers through the area, but by 1926, it went bust and fizzled out.
Farming picked up as a lucrative business and provided a boost to the local economy as many African-Americans found employment on local farms.
This rendered the Dixie Highway route through Espanola obsolete as automobile traffic drastically declined and very few tourists and travelers ventured to Espanola.
The economy of Espanola was devastated and over the following two decades many people relocated and all the businesses closed with the exception of a local grocery store.
The U.S. Post Office in Espanola closed on February 28, 1955, as there was no longer enough mail business or residents in the area to justify an official government office.
Today, the railroad that passed through Espanola is gone and the many commercial buildings that were constructed during Espanola’s heyday have all been razed.
The community now includes residential homes, a church, the one-room Espanola Schoolhouse, a Flagler County Fire Station, cemetery and community center.
African-Americans make up a large portion of Espanola’s population, and some families have lived in the area for more than four generations.

Tom English (born 17 November 1981) is an English former professional footballer who played for Marine Castle United (today Hougang United) in the Singaporean S.League in 2001.
His professional career was cut short after he was seriously injured in a fall in Tenerife, though he eventually played semi-professionally for several East Anglian sides.
Son of former Coventry City, Leicester City and Colchester United striker Tommy English, Tom English was initially on the books of Norwich City, joining Arsenal in the summer of 1998 but making no first team appearances before being released in the summer of 2000.
After a short spell playing alongside his father at Harwich & Parkeston, in January 2001 he signed for Marine Castle United (today Hougang United) in the Singaporean S.League, where he scored fifteen goals in the 2001 season.
With a move to QPR in prospect, he returned to Europe but during a holiday trip to Tenerife suffered a fall that severely damaged his right knee, alongside a broken jaw, facial injuries and a head injury that put him in a coma for ten days.
On 2 September 1995, a Royal Air Force Hawker Siddeley Nimrod aircraft crashed into Lake Ontario during an air display, killing all seven crew members on board.
This was the second loss of an RAF Nimrod in four months, following the ditching of a Nimrod R1 in May.
120 Squadron, the aircraft was originally delivered to the RAF as an MR.1 in 1971, before being one of 35 Nimrod airframes selected for upgrade to MR.2 standard in the mid 1970s.
On 23 August 1995, the aircraft and its crew had departed RAF Kinloss for Canada, where it was scheduled to take part in two separate air shows.
On the 26 and 27 August, the aircraft had been displayed at the Shearwater International Air Show at CFB Shearwater in Nova Scotia.
Following this, it transited to Toronto Pearson International Airport from where it would be based for display at the Canadian International Air Show (CIAS).
The day prior to the CIAS display, the aircraft's captain, Flight Lieutenant Dom Gilbert, gave an interview in which he stated that the plan was to approach the limits of the aircraft's performance.
The weather was classed as excellent, with a slight on-shore wind (the display was to take place offshore over Lake Ontario).
The aircraft then turned to starboard to begin the second dumb-bell turn - the undercarriage raised and the flaps set to allow the aircraft to climb at an attitude of 24°.
As it reached the top of the climb, the airspeed fell to 122 knots as a result of the engines being powered back, before the aircraft banked and pointed downwards.
Although the airspeed increased slightly, it was well below the recommended 150 knots for that part of the display, while the g-force load went to 1.6g.
The low speed and g-loading led to a stall which saw the aircraft's nose drop to 18° below the horizon and it bank 85° to port.
Despite full starboard aileron and full power being applied, the aircraft was too low by this point to recover and it hit the water.
The recovery effort was immediately set in motion; divers initially located the wreckage, which had broken into four sections, but were unable to locate the crew.
On the resumption of the search, a boat from the Toronto Police Service made its way to the crash site and dropped a remotely operated underwater vehicle containing sonar and video cameras.
This was able to display images of the wreckage clearly to allow the recovery team to recover both the bodies of the crew and debris from the aircraft.
A significant amount of data was available, given the public nature of the accident, and the RAF inquiry was able to determine that all of the aircraft's systems had been functioning normally, making it possible to rule out any mechanical or structural failure of the Nimrod as a potential cause.
It was determined that, at a previous display, he had made an error following the second dumb-bell turn that led to his crossing over the display line; this had not been reported as it should have been, which would have allowed analysis of the display manoeuvres before a scheduled practice run.
Instead, on deploying to Canada, the captain amended the manoeuvre by tightening his turn to avoid crossing over the crowd through reducing engine power.
This removed the safety margins for the aircraft in performing the display manoeuvres (primarily the dumb-bell) as it took it below the recommended speed and led to it stalling.
The inquiry identified a number of deficiencies in the training regime for Nimrod display that may have contributed to the accident.
Primarily, it suggested that the lack of a structured training programme, with theory and simulation as well as practice flights, combined with a lack of supervision in the air, led the captain to try out techniques outside the recommended performance envelope of both the Nimrod and the display.
The recommendations of the RAF inquiry as regards the display of the Nimrod saw a change in the selection of display crews - up to this point, several Nimrod captains and crews per display season were selected.
Following the inquiry, it was decided that a single crew, made up of instructors, would be specially selected from the Nimrod Operational Conversion Unit, rather than from operational squadrons.
Exactly eleven years after the accident in Toronto, another Nimrod from 120 Squadron was destroyed in a crash, this time on an operational flight over Kandahar in Afghanistan.

Gunn-Wright grew up in Englewood in the South Side of Chicago, where the local population are more likely to suffer from asthma because of their proximity to pollution.
For El-Sayed Gunn-Wright set out a bold policy agenda, including state-funded access to the internet and a shift to all renewable energy by 2030.
Gunn-Wright was head hunted by the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez campaign to join New Consensus, a think-tank championed by Ocasio-Cortez in Washington, D.C.. For some time New Consensus had been working with the Sunrise Movement on the development of an environmental policy program and with the Justice Democrats on identifying new progressive candidates.
The Justice Democrats helped Ocasio-Cortez run her campaign, New Consensus appointed Gunn-Wright policy director in which capacity she has worked with Desmond Drummer on the Green New Deal.
For example, over one million African-American people live half a mile from an oil and gas facility, and six million live in the same county as a refinery.
Gunn-Wright has called for Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) to be as generously funded as DARPA, and the creation of a green bank that will offer financing to communities that do not have access to clean water or transportation.
Humans reached the current-day New England region by at least 10,500 years ago and likely earlier, occupying a recently de-glaciated environment.
Pre-contact Native American groups in New England did not have full-fledged market economies and physical artifacts tended to change very slowly.
However, technological shifts brought agriculture and ceramics to the region prior to the arrival of European settlers in the 17th century.
Pollen and sediment studies have indicated a shifting climate pattern in New England in the Pleistocene, with dramatic climatic changes between warm periods and ice ages.
A preserved peat layer beneath glacial till in Millbury, Massachusetts, contains oak, sweet gum and pine pollen dated to 38,000 years ago and Boston Harbor sediments of similar age contain extensive shellfish, indicative of warmer temperatures than today.
Radiocarbon dating of caribou collagen in Dutchess County, New York is evidence of human arrival in the Northeast by 12,530 years ago, with the oldest confirmed sites in Maine and the Connecticut River valley marking the start of the Early Archaic period.
At the start of the Holocene, the post-glacial tundra landscape of New England was covered in lichen, shrubs and moss around the shores of glacial lakes.
One of the oldest signs of human presence in the area is the Bull Brook site in Ipswich, Massachusetts dates to 10,500 years ago.
In the Early Archaic, human activity may have concentrated in widening river mouths, with coastal breezes moderating temperatures and added sunlight.
By 6000 BP, boreal forest disappeared in southern New England and forest fires may have opened tracts of northern New England to hardwood oak forestation.
Glacial Lake Sudbury remained for several thousand years in the early Holocene, forming part of an internal waterway Boston Harbor to Narragansett Bay.
Middle Archaic human presence left more extensive physical remains than the Early Archaic, including a 90 square meter house floor at one site, ulu stone knives, perforators and the first evidence of a red ochre burial of a middle-aged woman, unearthed in 1977.
Excavations in Westborough found pits of charred lambsquarter seeds, stored as a winter protein source, along with oak, sycamore, sweet fern, water lily, huckleberry and blackberry seeds.
Lithic fragments also include Lynn Volcanics in the Boston Basin, chert quarried in eastern New York and felsite from Maine and New Hampshire.
Some archaeologists in the late 20th century originally proposed that Middle Archaic people were Paleo-Eskimos who migrated north following caribou herds, but later research debunked this idea.
Native Americans in the Late Archaic used wild ginseng, growing along rivers, as a remedy along with jimson weed and amanita mushrooms.
High quality quartz crystals increasingly appeared at sites in the Late Archaic, different from the conchoidally fractured crystals common in New England, suggesting a possible ritual use.
Soapstone—steatite—mining became much more common, but the heaviness of tools may have limited groups from moving and prompting more dependence on trade with groups near steatite, argillite and basalt deposits.
There is evidence of climate cooling 3000 to 1000 years ago in New England and the water table may have risen with increased precipitation.
The Middle Woodland marked a shift toward greater food storage, with more extensive storage pits and large roasting and smoking racks at the Wheeler site and Shattuck Farm Site.
By the Late Woodland, New England's climate was virtually identical to the present, although widespread burning of underbrush created large meadows.
From the 1960s onward, thermoluminescence dating has offered a secondary way of dating non-organic material, but analysis requires the destruction of samples at high cost and a scarcity of potsherds complicates this form of research.
Tilling of farmland, roots, animal burrows and the annual freeze-thaw cycle all work to bring some artifacts closer to the surface.
By 1990, archaeologists had gathered 300 radiocarbon dates from different sites, with some gaps between 9000 and 8000 years ago and 7000 to 5500 years ago.

The mineral was first found in a veins of dolomite carbonatites veins at the bottom of the Zhelezny (Iron) Mine in the Kovdor massif, Kola Peninsula, Russia.
The polytype, Mg(PO) • 22HO-1A2, had both the mineral and the name of the mineral approved (2000-032) by the Commission on New Minerals and Mineral Names or the (CNMMN) of the International Mineralogical Association or the (IMA).
The mineral, Cattiite, was named that in the honor of the Michele Catti, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Milano Bicocca in Italy, because of his work on the crystal chemistry of hydrated oxy-salts.
Cattiite bas been found in centimeter sized cavities that are within a 20-40 cm thick of the dolomite carbonatites that were enriched in late hydrothermal Mg-rich phosphates that was located at the Zhelezny Mine quarry.
The vein of dolomite carbonatites that the Cattiite is found cross-cuts forsterite and magnetite ore that are located at the bottom of the mine's quarry.
The mineral occurs as a mass that is up to 1.5 cm in size and usually contains a single crystal that fills the free space in the cavities and interstices of associated minerals.
The mineral has a space group of P. The structures of the mineral are based on an isolated PO tetrahedra and Mg(HO) octahedra that are joined by hydrogen bonds.
The structures of the (001) sheets of the octahedra plus a sheet made of octahedra and tetrahedra form a polar (001) layer that is copied by a center of symmetry to form a layer with thickness that correlates with the c parameter.
Cattiite usually occurs as a mass of single crystals that are sometimes shown to be the dominant form on the {001} axis.
The optical orientation of Cattiite is X ^ [001] = 80°, Y ^ [100] = 10°, and Z is perpendicular to [001].

He began sumo at the age of just three and won national championships for five consecutive years from the second to sixth years of elementary school.
At just tall he was accepted by passing the secondary exam for promising recruits who do not meet the primary height requirement.
In May 2012 he saw his longtime stablemate Kyokutenhō win the top division championship at 37 years of age, and was overcome with emotion while waiting to congratulate him afterwards.
During this tournament he was reprimanded on Day 2 by the ringside judge Minato Oyakata, the former Minatofuji, for giving Takagenji an extra shove after the match was already over.
Asahishō has a habit of throwing unusually large amounts of purifying salt into the ring before his bouts, previously the trademark of Mitoizumi and Kitazakura.
He began doing it in May 2012 to change his luck after suffering ten straight defeats from Day 1, and he promptly won his next five matches.
Asahishō is known for his sense of humour and love of practical jokes, which has made him a regular on the chat show circuit despite his relative lack of success in the top division.
In December 2014 he appeared in a commercial with three other wrestlers as part of a heavy metal band, promoting Docomo's Moveband activity tracker.

It is named after the nearby village of Siilinjärvi, located approximately 5 km west of the southern extension of the complex.
Siilinjärvi is the second largest carbonatite complex in Finland after the Sokli formation, and one of the oldest carbonatites on Earth at 2610±4 Ma.
The Särkijärvi pit is approximately 250 m deep, with a bench height of 28 m. The Saarinen pit is located some 5 km north of the main Särkijärvi pit.
The overall blast rate at the mine is 600 kt per week, 450 kt from the Särkijärvi pit and 150 kt from the Saarinen pit.
Since 1979, over 400 Mt of rock have been mined, about 65% being ore. By year 2016, the mine had produced 24.7 Mt of the main product, apatite.
The current production is roughly 11 Mt of ore per year, while the average in situ grade is 4.0 wt-% of PO.
Roughly 85% of the apatite concentrate is processed on-site in Siilinjärvi to produce phosphoric acid and fertilisers, the rest of the concentrate is used in the company's other factories.
The terrane records both some of the youngest and oldest Archean events in the Fennoscandian Shield, the 2.6 Ga Siilinjärvi intrusion and nearly 3.2 Ga mesosomes found in granulites.
At the present erosion level the western part of the terrane is mostly metamorphosed at greenschist facies during the Svecofennian orogeny.
The dominating surrounding rock type in the Siilinjärvi area is a granite gneiss with varying texture and to some extent, mineralogy.
In Siilinjärvi, however, the glimmerites and carbonatites are well mixed and occur as subvertical to vertical laminated nearly pure glimmerites and nearly pure carbonatites.
The volume of the carbonatite is greater in the center of the intrusion, and rocks near the edges of the body are almost completely glimmerites.
Glimmerite is intensely foliated, greenish black, dark or reddish brown rock (depending on the dominating mica mineral) containing 0-15 % carbonate minerals.
At some areas, the apatite content is so high that the rock is named as apatite rock (at least 25% apatite).
Apatite occurs as grand sized grains in these rocks, and the diameter of the crystals can be up to several decimeters.
That is obviously because of the carbonate content (15-25 % carbonate minerals), but also because of the lighter, reddish brown colour of the mica.
The texture is quite similar to the carbonate-glimmerites, excluding the areas, where the carbonates and micas are banded and occur as their own phases.
The average mineral composition is 46% phlogopite, 22% dolomite, 19% calcite, 9% apatite and 4% amphiboles, although the amount of calcite should be higher than the one of dolomites.
The content is mostly very low and the rock consist mainly of calcite, but in some areas, the dolomite content can be as high as 50%.
The Siilinjärvi carbonates are light grey, white or slightly reddish fine to medium grained rocks with average grain size about 0.9-1.2 mm.
The fenites consist mainly of perthitic microcline, richterite amphibole, and pyroxene, but there also are a wide variety of fenite types that include minerals like pyroxene, amphibole, carbonate, quartz, apatite, and quartz-aegirine.
The melasyenite, which crosscuts all the other parts of the complex but the diabase dykes, is composed of alkali feldspar, biotite, alkaline amphibole, apatite, and magnetite.
It is located in the northern part of the complex and is possibly related to the same intrusive event as the carbonatite.
The average composition of the Siilinjärvi ore is 65% phlogopite (including tetraferriphlogopite), 19% carbonates (calcite/dolomite ratio 4:1), 10% apatite (equivalent to 4% PO in the whole rock), 5% richterite, and 1% accessory minerals (mainly magnetite and zircon).
The grain size of the micas varies from only a couple of µm to several centimetres, the average size is 1–2 mm in diameter.
The phlogopite is altered into brown biotite-phlogopite in the shear zones, and in the most intensely sheared zones, into biotite and chlorite.
The apatites of the mine contain quite high amounts of SrO, and sometimes also CO. Apatite is found in companion with mica in mica rich rocks and with calcite, dolomite or mica in carbonate-rich rocks.
The most common amphibole in Siilinjärvi is blue-green richterite, which forms about 5% of the overall volume of the intrusion and usually less than 15 vol-% of the glimmerites.
The greatest percentages of amphiboles are found in the sheared parts of the ore glimmerites, where the percentage can be locally up to 40-50 %.
Magnetite is the most common accessory mineral in the ore rocks, and constitute usually less than 1 vol% of the ore.
Monazite can be found in two types: <50 μm subhedral inclusions in calcite or apatite and slightly larger sub-anhedral grains along grain boundaries.
The dominant foliation dip direction in the Särkijärvi area is almost N-S (265-275°) and it dips nearly vertically (85-90°) towards west.
Shearing is a common feature in the main Siilinjärvi ore body and the contact zone between the country rock and ore body.
He founded Cooke's Circus around 1780 which was in Ayrshire in 1784 as a travelling show seen at Mauchline by Robert Burns.
Cooke's Circus travelled around cities and large towns in England and Scotland, specialising in equestrian acts, acrobats, strongmen and contortionists, many of whom were from Cooke's extended family.
After a few more months in Philadelphia, he returned to Britain in the summer of 1838 with this large tent, which freed up the possible locations for the circus.
Son of Thomas Taplin Cooke, born in 1808 he was a versatile acrobat and performer before setting up on his own (hiring Astley's Amphitheatre in London) for eleven years as a circus venue.
John was born in New York in 1837 the son of Henry Cooke during an unsuccessful tour of the family circus in America.
However, they were forced to vacate this site around 1882 in order for John B. Howard and Frederick W. P. Wyndham to construct a new building (now the Royal Lyceum Theatre).
Its opening night was 8 November 1886 and was compered by Harry Dale, a well-known Victorian entertainer and a clown in Cooke's circus.

Elisabeth Kyle, pseudonym of Agnes Mary Robertson Dunlop, (born 1 January 1901, died 23 February 1982), was a British writer of novels and children's books.
He was keen on literature, introducing his daughter to the classics and monitoring carefully the books to which she was exposed.
As a child she had no particular intention of becoming an author, and when she finished her education became a journalist, first with the Manchester Guardian and then with the Glasgow Herald.
She had always enjoyed making up stories and a friend persuaded her to try her hand at writing; her earliest published works were stories in children's annuals.
Many of these were historical novels designed for a young audience, with heroines such as Charlotte Brontë, Mary II of England, Florence Nightingale and Clara Schumann.

Earlier, the Ottoman defeat in the Battle of Shaiba had damaged the authority of the Ottomans in the eyes of the Arabs.
When the leaders of the city, such as Muhammad ‘All al-Qazwinl and others, met them, the Ottomans detained them and declared to the inhabitants of the city that if their crossing through the city to Nasiriyah was opposed, they would kill their hostages.
Elias Mocatta (1798–1881) was a British merchant and financier, significant in the early credit history of Venezuela and other South American countries.
In a Sephardic family, he was an older brother of Isaac Lindo Mocatta, who was involved in his Venezuelan enterprise in the 1840s, and of David Alfred Mocatta, and son of Moses Mocatta (1768–1857).
During this period Gran Colombia broke up into the republics of Colombia (initially as the Republic of New Granada), Ecuador and Venezuela.
Mocatta was still involved in managing the affairs of the external debt of Gran Colombia, as divided up between the republics, in the 1850s, acting for the creditors.
Also at this period the Foreign Funds market in London flourished briefly and speculatively, launched in 1823 and suffering a crash in 1825.
One of Elias Mocatta's associates was John Boulton (1805–1875) (see ), a major business figure in early Venezuelan history: Boulton gave Mocatta a power of attorney in 1827.
Powles, Ward, Lord & Co. of La Guaira were important in commerce, with George Ward and Henry Joseph Lord acting for John Diston Powles and London partners.
Socially, the Mocatta family were on good terms with Robert Ker Porter in Caracas, and Aizenberg comments that it is possible to reconstruct much of their life there from his diary.
In October 1847, Messrs. Mocatta & Son, in trade with La Guaira, were reported to have stopped, with liabilities of £50,000.
Noting his relationship to Moses, Flandreau points out Mocatta's activity on bondholders' committees for Spanish bonds (1851), Ecuadorian bonds (1853), and Greek bonds (1863).
In 1862, towards the end of the Federal War in Venezuela, Mocatta worked with Hilarión Nadal to help promote a Barings Bank loan to the Venezuelan government.
In 1864 Mocatta was one of the founders of the London and Venezuela Bank, with Henry Alers Hankey, Frederick Hemming, Alfred Powles, Giacomo Servadio, Robert Syers and David Wilson.
Mr. Tjung Tin Jan (9 February 1919 – February 1994) or Jani Arsadjaja was an Indonesian politician and lawyer of Chinese Indonesian origin.
Tjung was born in Sungai Selan, part of what is today Central Bangka Regency of Bangka Island, then part of the Dutch East Indies, on 9 February 1919.
After Tjung returned to the Indies, he had worked at a telephone company and became a lawyer before being appointed as a deputy prosecutor in Pangkal Pinang's court.
In 1950, he was appointed as a Senator for the newly formed Senate of the United States of Indonesia, representing Bangka.
He joined the Catholic Party in 1953, and he served in the People's Representative Council as a member of that party until 1960.
Within that party, he was a member of its central board between 1953 and 1959, and its deputy general chairman between 1956 and 1958.
During and after his time in the Council, Tjung served as a director of several mining companies, including at Aneka Tambang where he was its financial director between 1968 and 1974.
Tjung was a proponent of the assimilation of Chinese Indonesians, and was critical of Yap Thiam Hien's writings on discrimination of the group within Indonesia.

It was the seventh appearance of the featherweight class, and the second time the weight class featured weightlifters between 56 and 60 kg (prior appearances had featherweight as the lightest weight class before a 56 kg weight class was added in 1948).
The weightlifter could increase the weight between attempts (minimum of 5 kg between first and second attempts, 2.5 kg between second and third attempts) but could not decrease weight.
If two or more weightlifters finished with the same total, the competitors' body weights were used as the tie-breaker (lighter athlete wins).

The Moesian Plate, also known as the Moesian Platform, is a microcontinent and crustal block in the southwestern part of the East European Craton.
It extends 600 kilometers east to west and up to 300 kilometers north to south and lies beneath Romania and Bulgaria.
The Moesian Platform is made up of four terranes that accreted together during the Ordovician and Devonian as the small continent Avalonia collided with Baltica and Laurentia to form Laurussia.
The North Dobrogea terrane is a fifth, closely related terrane that lies closest to the East European craton, although it accreted last in the Carboniferous.
Its current position is inferred to be the result of strike-slip faulting in the Mesozoic with the opening of Mediterranean-style oceanic basins.
Romanian Geological Survey borehole data was used to map the Moesian Platform, with results published in 2007 indicating a large southern section, the West Moesian Platform underlying much of the Romanian section of the Danube River and the coastal city of Varna.
This structural unit is separated from the Balkan Terrane to the south by Paleogene, Pliocene and Quaternary uplift in the Balkan Thrust Front and to the north from other structural units by the Neogene Carpathian Front.
The Pecenage-Camena Fault separates these terranes from the North Dobrogea terrane which abuts the Pre-Dobrogean Depression along the Sfantu-Gheorghe Fault in the north.

Her studies relate to the burden of multimorbidity in primary care, psychiatric multimorbidity, patient-physician perspectives on the burden of multimorbidity, mapping of multimorbidity in medical education, and interprofessional education related to multimorbidity.
Nehemiah 2 is the second chapter of the Book of Nehemiah in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, or the 12th chapter of the book of Ezra-Nehemiah in the Hebrew Bible, which treats the book of Ezra and book of Nehemiah as one book.
From the time he hears about Jerusalem in Kislev (November/December), Nehemiah waited until the month Nisan (March/April) to petition Artaxerxes I of Persia to be allowed to go and help the rebuilding of Jerusalem.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes Codex Leningradensis (1008).
Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; formula_1; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: formula_1; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; formula_1; 5th century).
The display of long face before the king shows three significant aspects of Nehemiah: courage, godliness and wisdom, which bear dire risk of his life (cf.
This part describes Nehemiah's journey to Jerusalem, and his first actions when he arrived there, especially his preliminary reconnaissance of the walls at night, and the revelation of his plan to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
The evidence of Persian soldiers stationed in Judah is shown in the cist-type tombs which otherwise can only be found in Persian archaeological sites.
This system was the first of its kind in the United States coordinated by a single state, predating Wisconsin's system by three years.
In 1919, this system was supplanted by a series of auto trails officially created by the State Highway Commission, though it is unclear as to whether this system completely supplanted the lettering system.
In 1919, the Maine Automobile Association and the Maine State Highway Commission collaborated to create a series of state-designated auto trails.
The system posed a stark contrast to the auto trail systems of other states, which were often private endeavors, with improvements by these booster organizations ranging from simple marked poles to paving and maintenance of the road.

An independent safety officer (ISO) is a clinician or researcher who is independent of the clinical study team and helps to monitor a clinical trial for research participant (patient) safety, adverse events, trial progress, and data quality.
Large, multi-site clinical trials are commonly overseen by a Data Monitoring Committee or Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) consisting of expert clinicians, biostatisticians, and ethicists or patient advocates.
Small, minimal risk studies may be monitored by the principal investigator according to the data and safety monitoring plan (DSM plan) approved by the institutional review board (IRB).
For clinical trials with intermediate complexity or risk, the use of an ISO can be very helpful to monitor the trial for research participant safety, adherence to the protocol, and collection of good data.
Examples of studies monitored by an ISO might include a trial involving Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs used in unapproved indications, non-significant risk medical devices, nutritional products used as a drug, research-only interventions such as an insulin clamp, or behavioral interventions with the possibility of psychological adverse events.
Monitoring by an ISO may also be appropriate for higher risk single-site studies of short duration, such as pilot studies, for which convening a full DSMB is not feasible.
An ISO is usually a physician or investigator with experience and training in both the disease and the intervention being studied.
In addition, an ISO has experience with clinical trials so that they can monitor the progress of the trial for adequate enrollment, appropriate follow-up, adherence to protocol, and good data collection.
They are not a part of the study team and have no financial or scientific conflicts of interest with the clinical trial or the principal investigator.
The DSM plan, which is approved by the IRB before a trial begins, will stipulate the use of an ISO for monitoring.
In addition, the specific responsibilities of the ISO for that trial are defined by the ISO charter written by the principal investigator and the ISO.
The charter typically sets out the aspects of the trial that will be reviewed, the frequency of data review and written reports, a plan for adverse event identification and reporting, a plan for monitoring of data quality and accuracy, and the criteria for decision-making regarding continuation, modification or termination of individual participants or the clinical trial.
In these meetings, the ISO discusses:  1) a review of any adverse safety events; 2) protocol deviations and exclusions; 3) enrollment and follow-up of participants; 3) missing data and data quality controls; 4) any new medical advances that may require changes in the study protocol.
The timing of the meetings depends on the risk to the participants as well as the degree of oversight needed for a particular trial.
If a clinical trial has regulatory lapses, excessive adverse events linked to the trial intervention, or fails to recruit adequate numbers of participants, the ISO may recommend that the clinical trial protocol be modified or the trial terminated.
Other additions can include a content expert for nonclinical issues, a methodology consultant, or another clinician that has additional specific expertise.

Mounting, arousal, and termination of copulation occurs within a short time frame; copulation is much longer and more variable in length.
Males mount females on the posterior region of her body allowing the erect male rostrum to stroke the dorsal side of the female, just below the thoracic shield.
Once separated both the male and female begin to feed and clean their own genitals and antenna—this feeding and cleaning behaviour typically occurs within a few steps from the site of copulation.
The sex ratio of males to females does not influence the number of eggs a female can lay but environments with a high ratio reduces female longevity due to mating exhaustion.
Females probe plant tissues with the tip of their rostrum to find a suitable site for the deposition of their eggs.
The exact reason behind site choice is unknown, but once found the female bends her abdomen to establish contact between her ovipositor and the plant tissue.
The ovipositor is then inserted into the plant tissue and the eggs are deposited, below the epidermis and parenchymatous tissue of the plant, via abdominal contractions.
Conditions that yield higher temperatures and increased sun exposure result in a higher abundance; whereas cooler temperatures, less available sunlight, and increased rain exposure reduces abundance.
During the first instar, the body appears light orange in colour and progresses to a deep orange in the second instar.
Finally, in the fifth instar, the wing pads cover half of the abdomen—with the wings being transparent—and the body is light brown in colour but darkens via sclerotization.
Additionally, in the fifth instar, the dorsum of the thorax appears red in colour, the tergum of the abdomen a dull white, the dorsal abdominal segment a deep orange colour, and overlapped hemi-elytra covers over the abdomen with its distal end containing a triangular blackish-brown colouration.
The less-matured first, second and third instars tend to group close to each other and remain in proximity of their hatch site for feeding.
In contrast, the more matured fourth and fifth instars tend to be more dispersed and feed in areas farther from their hatch site as a result.
Red colour morphs tend to peak in abundance during October and reach their minimum abundance during February (for males) and June (for females).
A brownish-black colour morph is also seen within the population, but its abundance is low, and its frequency remains constant throughout the year.
Rather, both adult and nymphs feed on various sites ranging from tender shoots, buds, stems, and even their fruiting bodies to obtain sap.
This modified mouth part enables them to suck up sap from deep within the plant tissues that would not otherwise be as easily accessible.
In native, non-cultivated, habitats there appears to be a preference for certain types of host plants even when many others are present.
However, the biochemical understanding of the toxin's toxicology and function within the saliva is poorly understood and is a site of current research.
The use of such chemical agents poses a risk not only to the environment but to humans as well—as exposure and administration levels continue to increase so too does its level of toxicity.
Thus, natural predators and parasitoids have been looked to for their biological control properties to prevent the use of these harmful chemicals.
Thus, injured plants are no longer able to allocate their desired resources into fruit/seed production, rather, they are forced to allocate resources and energy into damage control and repair.
Poor yields result in poor economic outcomes for producers which also has adverse consequences for consumers such as increased prices, as well as an overall reduction in the number and overall quality of available products.
Similarly, feeding on premature and mature fruits causes fruit desiccation resulting in a reduction in size and quality—as seen in cashew plants.
Following foraging, fungal pathogens can enter the wound tissues more readily and cause die-back of shoots and is the primary cause of inflorescence blight.
It is a church center erected in concrete and natural stone, according to drawings by the architects H. W. Simers and H. Chr.
400 seats, in addition to an adjacent church hall with 200 seats, separated from the church room by a folding door, as well as a kitchen.
The great crucifix in the altar wall acts as an altarpiece, and is made by Victor Sparre, together with the church's other stained glass windows.
The stained glass measure a total of 220 m², which is the largest area of glass art in any Norwegian church that was built after 1945.
The three church bells in the separate bell tower were cast by Olsen Nauen Bell Foundry and were mounted in 1961.
The GTW 72 is a suspended monorail train type operated by Wuppertaler Stadtwerke on the Wuppertal Schwebebahn from 1972 until 2018.
The trains have welded aluminium car bodies, and are powered by four chopper-controlled motors, which power the two wheels of each bogie.
After their withdrawal from service, 21 units were sold, and three were donated under the condition that they stay within Wuppertal.

The weightlifter could increase the weight between attempts (minimum of 5 kg between first and second attempts, 2.5 kg between second and third attempts) but could not decrease weight.
If two or more weightlifters finished with the same total, the competitors' body weights were used as the tie-breaker (lighter athlete wins).
Walter Hunt Everett (1880–1946) was an American artist, associated with the Brandywine School of art and the Golden Age of Illustration.
During his early career, Everett was a student of Howard Pyle (‘The Father of American Illustration’) at both the Drexel Institute and Brandywine School as well as a contemporary of N.C. Wyeth.
Among the first wave of commercial illustrators in America, students taught by Pyle in the Brandywine School are credited with setting the standards for future American illustrators and often attributed key influences on such artists as Maxfield Parrish and Norman Rockwell.
Students of Pyle were encouraged to train hard, spiritually and artistically, to study first-hand the environments they painted and to utilize authentic props.
Later in his career, Everett helped to found the Philadelphia School of Industrial Art's Illustration Department and was an instructor to Norman Rockwell.
Little is known about Everett's final years, however it is know that he burned a large portion of his works that he considered personal projects.
After his death his son, Oliver Everett, discovered a collection of 25-30 original oil paintings on canvas that had been rolled up in a barn on his property.
These works remain in the Everett family and are understood to be the largest single collection of Walter H Everett's work.

Vake (Georgian: ვაკე vɑkʼɛ]) - neighbourhood in southwestern part of Tbilisi, on the right bank of the river Mtkvari; part of Vake district.
By the beginning of the 20th century its borders were: to the east Varaziskhevi, to the north - Vere River, south and southwest - mountain skirts.
In Tbilisi Development plan of 1906 only the Nobility Gymnasium building is mentioned in this area (currently 1st building of Tbilisi State University).
Then Tbilisi Spiritual Seminary was built not far from the gymnasium (later on this building became agricultural institute, now it is one of the clinics of Tbilisi State Medical University [formerly the 9th Hospital]).
Before in this part of the city used to live people who were connected with political or scientific elite of Georgia.
It refers to the area south of Payson, Utah, down to St. George, Utah which carries the nickname of Utah's Dixie.
It is a pun on the well known Mason-Dixon line, that is an unofficial barrier that delineates where the American south begins.
While the term can be used with various connotations, it is usually used in reference to an urban-rural divide that exists in the Utah political sphere.
Because 80% of Utah's population lives in the Wasatch Front, people used to acknowledge that rural issues are more relevant in southern Utah.
It is being used regularly by 1993, with Utah State representative Met Johnson [R-UT-74] using the term in opinion pieces and other settings expressing his concern of the growing divide.
The terms use in Utah politics, continues with use throughout the 2000s and became important again in the 2012 US House House of Representatives Election, with the creation of Utah Congressional District 4.
With the 2010 census, CD4 was created and then Rep. Jim Matheson, elected to run in that newly created district, rather than the one he was then listed as representing.
Rep. Chris Stewart used the term against his opponent, Jay Seegmiller, in the race, saying as he didn't live in the district, he couldn't understand the needs of people south of Payson-Dixon line.
Governor, as well as his 2020 Gubernatorial campaign, in which he has used it throughout his tour of the 248 incorporated cities in Utah, especially those in the rural south.
Contribution guidelines, also called Contribution guidelines, the CONTRIBUTING.md file, or software contribution guidelines, is a text file which project managers include in free and open-source software packages or other open media packages for the purpose of describing how others may contribute user-generated content to the project.
In many cases where projects with contribution files do receive contributions, those contributions do not follow the instructions in the file.
Easton has been a member of the bands Futuristic Retro Champions and TeenCanteen and currently is the keyboard player for The Vaselines while also pursuing a solo career, first under the name Ette and now under the name Carla J. Easton.
Easton formed TeenCanteen in 2012, on vocals and playing keyboard, with Sita Pieraccini on bass, Chloe Philip on guitar and Debs Smith on drums.
The album was listed as number 4 on the Bandcamp best albums of 2016, where it was described as a 'big, loud, glorious confection'.
Easton co-wrote and sang the lead vocals on a track on Belle & Sebastian's How to Solve Our Human Problems EP (Part 3), released in 2018.
She earned a degree and became active in women's rights group, AWARE, which she was president of for 3 separate terms.
At age five, she and her family went to visit family in Kerala but stayed until 1948 because of the Japanese occupation of Singapore.
Singam served as president of AWARE for three different terms, from 1987 to 1989, 1994 to 1996 and lastly from 2007 to 2009.
In 2002, Singam started a group that later became called Transient Workers Count Too (TWC2), which worked to help foreign workers in Singapore.
That company's Stone Building, built in 1919 and renamed the Emilio Primo Stone Building in 1999, is used for events and recreation programs.
According to Hamilton Child, the Newark Lime and Cement Manufacturing Company was the most important manufacturing establishment in Rondout, and began operation in spring 1851.
The works consisted of twenty-one kilns for burning the stone, two mill buildings, four storehouses, capable of storing upwards of 20,000 barrels, a cooperage establishment, millwrights', wheelwrights', blacksmiths', and carpenters' shops, barns stables.
Stone, from which the cement was made, was quarried from the hill immediately in the rear of the factory, and was obtained by tunneling and sinking shafts, from which extend galleries in the stratum of cement rock, which inclines to the north-west.
An extensive system of railways transported the stone from the quarries to the top of the kilns, where it was burned by being mixed with culm or fine coal, and then passed by a series of descents through the various stages of manufacture till it arrived in barrels at the wharf ready for shipment.
As the cement manufactured often exceeded 1,000 barrels per day, the deficiency in barrels was supplied from the stock accumulated during the season when navigation was closed, and the manufacture of cement necessarily suspended.
The son of a Swedish doctor and an American flight attendant, Hans was born February 21, 1982 in Northern California but spent the first year of his life in Playa Del Rey, Los Angeles before moving to Sacramento, where he was raised.
St Agnes Convent was a religious house of the Sisters of the Common Life in the city of Arnhem, in the Duchy of Guelders (now in the Netherlands), in the 15th and 16th centuries.
At some point in the 15th century the community adopted the Third Rule of St Francis, later shifting to the Rule of St Augustine.
Burgess was a selectman from 1921 to 1927 and served in the Great and General Court during the same time period.

Vanarsite, NaCa(AsVVAsO)・78HO, is a mineral that forms as very dark blue blades that are flattened on {100} and elongated on [010].
The crystals form in sub-parallel intergrowths in aggregates up to 5 mm long and are part of the cubic crystal system.
The mineral is found in the Packrat mine in Colorado, USA in association with three mineral of similar composition, packratite, Ca(AsVVAsO)・83HO, morrisonite, Ca(AsVVAsO)・78HO, and gatewayite, Ca(AsVVAsO)・31HO.
Vanarsite's physical properties show a very dark blue color, grayish blue streak, vitreous luster, and a hardness of 2 on the Mohs hardness scale.
Its optical class is biaxial (-) with an α value of 1.645(5), a β value of 1.677(calc), and a γ value of 1.681(calc).
It has orientation where X = b, Y ^ a = 12° in obtuse β and pleochroism where X = cornflower blue, Y = dark blue, Z = dark blue; X « Z ≈ Y.
Packrat mine is located in the northern part of the Uravan Mineral Belt where uranium and vanadium containing minerals often occur together in sandstone from the Salt Wash member of the Jurassic Morrison Formation.
Vanarsite was found located with three other minerals that were discovered at the same time in the same locality, packratite, morrisonite, and gatewayite and is also associated with pharmacolite.
Ambient temperatures and oxidizing conditions near the surface cause water to react with pyrite and an unknown arsenic bearing phase to form aqueous solutions with low pH.
In the analysis, vanadium, arsenic, strontium, sodium, and calcium were counted simultaneously with counts occurring 10 seconds for each except Na which was 5 seconds on their respective spectrometers.
The weight percents for each cation in terms of oxygen are as follows: 0.63 for NaO, 13.08 for CaO, 0.22 for SrO, 0.04 for FeO, 31.61 for AsO, and 43.89 for VO.
The structural unit was determined to be a heteropolyanion consisting of twelve distorted octahedra (VO) around a central pyramid (AsO (arsenite)) and decorated by peripheral tetrahedra (AsO (arsenate)).

The mountain was named for the steinbok, as part of the ungulate names theme for several other nearby peaks that were submitted by Philip Kubik of Vancouver.
In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Steinbok Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Range where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.
Each player decides on a name, a motto, and a symbol for their cult, and then generates initial scores for three skills: Conjuring, Sorcery and Thuggery.
Each player turns their player sheet towards the other players so that the front row of cultists is facing the centre of the table.
On each turn, the active player must first play any Mondo cards that are held, drawing from the deck to replace these as they are played.
To make an attack, the active player chooses one of their front-line cultists to make the attack, rolls three 6-sided dice, adds the attacking cultist's bonus, and subtracts the target's defensive modifier.
If played on a cult that is about to try to win the game by summoning its deity, this card results in the deity destroying the cult instead, knocking that player out of the game.
A mycetome is a specialized organ in a variety of animal species which houses that animal's symbionts, isolating them from the animal's natural cellular defense mechanisms and allowing sustained controlled symbiotic growth.
In several species, such as bed bugs and certain families of leech, these symbionts are attached to the gut and aid in the production of vitamin B from ingested meals of blood.
In bed bugs, it has been found that heat stress can cause damage to the mycetome, preventing the symbionts from being successfully passed from the adult female to her eggs at the time of oogenesis, causing the resulting nymphs to develop abnormally or to die prematurely.
Óengus of Tallaght (Óengus mac Óengobann, Óengus the Culdee, d. 824) is believed to have founded the hermitage in AD 780, leaving it two years later.
Burke was born on 4 August 1898 on Coola Street, Drogheda, County Louth, to Christopher Patrick Burke, secretary of the gas works, and Mary McQuillan.
However, things took a turn for the worse with the death of Christopher Burke Sr. from Bright's disease on 12 October 1906 at the age of just 44.
With the family's source of income gone, his mother moved with him and his five siblings to live with her siblings on Duleek Street.
Christopher Burke joined the Irish Volunteers in 1917, and after two years in its ranks, during which he was promoted to officership, the General Headquarters ordered him to sever, outwardly, his connections with the organisation, which he did.
released from prison in the Drogheda Foundry, he was the only man in the IRA who could forge cast iron hand grenades which would fragment.
He was captured on one occasion by British forces while en route to Navan by motorcycle, where he was held hostage by them.
It was in Bailiborough, under the command of Christopher Burke, that all of the hand-grenades that the IRA used during the War of Independence were made.
This group was made up of many British soldiers who had fought in the First World War and would go on to commit many atrocities against the Irish after becoming desensitised to violence during said war.
In order to save his fellow soldiers, one of them would have to jump on the hand grenade, sacrificing himself in the process.
So, the British decided to put steel frames over the trucks, with netting wire over the frames, so that when grenades were thrown, they bounced off the wire.
When these grenades were flung at the troop transport trucks of the Black and Tans, they would catch onto the wire above the troops, meaning it was impossible for anyone to lie on them and therefore save the rest.
Casualties depended on which part of the truck was hit, and on three separate occasions all fourteen Black and Tans were killed by Christopher Burke's fishhook grenades.
Following the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1921, Christopher Burke's cousin, Eamonn Duggan, one of the Treaty's signatories, offered him a rank in the army or police, however Christopher Burke declined on principal.
Following the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1921, Christopher Burke's cousin, Eamonn Duggan, one of the Treaty's signatories, offered him a rank in the army or police, however Christopher Burke declined on principal.
When the Civil War broke out in 1922, Christopher Burke fought on the Republican side, and was in charge of the boycott of Drogheda on 28 June, wherein Anti-Treaty forces took over the town and blew up the railway bridge south of it, isolating it from Dublin.
At this point, Christopher Burke and his subordinates were based in Millmount Fort, which overlooks the town, and also held the railway station.
The National Army brought up mortars and 18-pounder guns to shell them, and after several hours of bombardment the Anti-Treaty forces surrendered.
After his capture by the Free State forces, Christopher Burke was imprisoned in Maryborough Gaol in Portlaoise, County Laois, where he went on a hunger strike lasting twenty-three days.
As a protest against the conditions in the prison, the inmates set fire to the building and for six months following this incident had to sleep in the open.
In 1934, Christopher Burke was elected to the Corporation of Drogheda as a Fianna Fáil candidate for the Duleek Gate Ward, and was re-elected when the Council was reduced from 24 members to 12.
In 1932, Christopher Burke was brought to court by his older brother Michael Burke after assaulting him in the family home on Duleek Street, Drogheda.
On the day of the assault, there were two young boys in the house listening to a football match on the wireless radio.
He asked Michael why he had send the boys away from the wireless, to which he gave no response, following which Christopher hit his brother six times, badly cutting his eye.
Michael was attended by a Dr. McCullen, and his left eye black and swollen, while there was a slight mark on his forehead.
The Justice said that the will gave Michael Burke the ownership of the house and the tenants subject to the charges set out in it.
He fined Christopher Burke 5 shillings, though Michael Burke's lawyer, Mr. Tallan said he was more concerned with Christopher and Joseph Burke getting a dwelling somewhere else.
After this, Christopher Burke went into the dairy business with his brother, Joseph Burke, and built a house on the family farm in Bryanstown, County Meath.
Christopher's republican comrades attended the funeral, and the Mayor of Drogheda and members of the Drogheda Corporation walked wearing their robes of office in the cortege.
In the story, a teenager named Jeff is on his way to school with his younger brother when they are attacked by a group of bullies.
After his brother claims he injured the bullies and is arrested, Jeff spends several days distraught, before going to a birthday party in the neighbourhood where he is attacked by the bullies again.
Although he manages to kill all of the assailants, he is severely burned during the confrontation after being set on fire.
The night after he is discharged, he slices his face, leaving a scar in the shape of a smile, and cuts off his eyelids, so that he will never sleep.
According to a 2013 article, the original image of Jeff the Killer may be an extensively edited picture of a girl who allegedly committed suicide in the fall of 2008.
In a final blog post, Ted writes that he and his companions would be bringing a gun into the cave after experiencing a series of nightmares and hallucinations.
The story goes that if anyone receives the photo (either by email or by regular post), they have to send copies of it to their friends and family members (like a Chain Letter).
In early 2019 it morphed into a meme, a challenge and an urban legend which also spawned a video game; it caused several authorities to calm any fears regarding the meme's influence.
Lost episode creepypastas describe supposed television episodes, typically kids’ shows, that were either never aired or removed from syndication due to their violent and grotesque content.
The posters share memories of the creepy puppets from the series, and discuss nightmares that resulted from watching certain episodes (such as those involving a villain called the Skin-Taker, and one that had no dialogue other than screaming).
One poster then asks their mother about the series, and is told that the mother just used to tune the television to static, which the child would watch for thirty minutes.
Most images of the bloodshot eyed Spongebob are animated GIFs consisting of Spongebob blinking after watching the image for a long time.
As the video progresses, screams and cries are heard in the background, the buildings become more dilapidated, and Mickey turns his face to the audience and begins sneering.
After an apparently very realistic view of his corpse, the show's second act features a surreal take on the Simpson family's grief.
When they get to the grave, Bart's body is just lying in front of his tombstone, looking just like it did at the end of act one.
The full story is told from the perspective of a person who interned at Nickelodeon Studios during 2005 as an animation student.
In the firsthand account, the video consists of Squidward forlornly sitting on a bed, while strange and upsetting noises play and become louder in the background.
The scene is spliced with quick flashes of murdered children, each time the noises getting louder when cutting back to Squidward — now bearing red 'hyper realistic' eyes.
These creepypasta focus on video games containing grotesque or violent content; this content may spill over into the real world and cause the player to harm themselves or others.
Children who had played the games reportedly screamed in terror at the sight of either of the games inserted into the Game Boy handheld console, and exhibited other erratic behavior, before committing suicide through methods such as hanging, jumping from heights, and creatively severe self-mutilation.
Supposedly, the suicides were connected to the eerie background music played in the fictional location of Lavender Town in the games.
In the game's canon, Lavender Town is the site of the haunted Pokémon Tower, where numerous graves of Pokémon can be found.
The legend alleges that children, besides being the primary players of the games, are more susceptible to the effects of the Lavender Town music, because it supposedly incorporates binaural beats and a high-pitched tone that adults cannot hear.
As Zach progresses through the game, simple glitches begin to turn into entirely new content and new monsters, and eventually a malevolent, supernatural being by the name of Red reveals himself.
As the mystery behind the nature of Red unravels, it is revealed that the demon has closer ties to Zach than he ever could have expected.
The story concludes with Zach - having defeated Red during the final battle - selling the game on eBay, unable to bring himself to keep or destroy the mysterious cartridge.
This story features a largely different cast of monsters, with Red's role as an antagonist replaced by a demon named Warlock and his subordinates who represent the seven cardinal sins.
The story is often praised for its new approach to the traditional video game creepypasta formula, and for its extensive use of custom-made screenshots, depicting thousands of sprites created by the story's author.
Common points of criticism involving the story revolve around its inconsistent pacing, reliance on gore and jumpscares, the protagonist's unrealistic responses to what they see, and the story's ending, in which the protagonist is apparently killed by a Sonic plush doll.
However, after the narrator of the series enters a code on a note attached to the copy of the game he received, he is able to enter a strange, dark, and hidden section of the game: the Newmaker Plane and the depths below it.
An urban legend claims that in 1981, an arcade cabinet called Polybius caused nightmares and hallucinations in players, leading at least one person to suicide.
One of the oldest urban legends regarding video games, Polybius has entered popular culture, and numerous fangames exist as attempts to recreate the game from numerous accounts of its nature.
High Arctic Haulers is a television series that follows the annual sealift that supplies the isolated communities in Canada's Arctic Archipelago.
Almost none of Canada's Northern communities have any port facilities, a fact the series portrays dramatically as it shows the extra difficulties the ships face unloading cargo: (1) unloading and launching a tugboat and barge, they carry as deck cargo; (2) using the tug and barge to carry front end loaders to the community's beach, where they will then unload pallets of cargo from subsequent barge loads.
He said he was proud of portions of the show that profiled young people of First Nations background, playing a leadership role.
She had saved for a replacement while her previous vehicle was failing on her, and purchased a new vehicle at a dealership, on a rare visit to the south.
The Battle of Pedum was fought in 338 BC, near Pedum between the Roman Republic and multiple cities in Latium: Tibur, Praeneste, Antium, Aricia, Lanuvium, and Velitrae.
The Romans had campaigned against the combined force at Pedum during the previous year, 339 BC, but the attempt was abandoned by Tiberius Aemilius Mamercus after hearing of the victory of his colleague, Quintus Publilius Philo, elsewhere in Latium.
The forces from Tibur and Praeneste, being the two cities closest to Pedum, had already arrived there, but the forces from Aricia, Lanuvium, and Velitrae had made for the Astura River with the intent of joining the Volscian force from Antium.
Maenius, after having dealt with the armies at the Astura River, came to Pedum in order to assist Camillus, and the two quickly defeated the two remaining armies.
After the victory at Pedum, the consuls spent the rest of their terms campaigning throughout Latium, effectively bringing an end to the Latin War.

Holt of the British Admiralty and built by British boatbuilder Fairmile Marine, during the Second World War eighty Fairmile B motor launches were built in Canada for service with the Coastal Forces of the RCN.
Built of double mahogany (diagonally) with an eight-inch oak keel and based on a line of destroyer hulls, the Fairmiles arrived in prefabricated kits to be assembled for the RCN by thirteen different boatyards.
In contrast to the British built boats, the Canadian Fairmiles were narrower, had a greater draught, and were slightly more powerful giving the Canadian boats a two knot speed advantage over the British boats.
Another unique design feature of the Fairmile B was that with forty-eight hours notice each boat could be reconfigured to serve in a different role.
Fitted with steel strips and tapped holes to ease equipment swaps, weapons and specialist gear such as torpedo tubes, mines, depth charges, and guns could be quickly stripped and attached to the boat.
In two days, a Fairmile could have it's weapons and equipment reconfigured to serve as an escort, minesweeper, minelayer, navigation leader, coastal raider, patrol boat, ambulance or rescue launch.

For example oxalates and carbonates are hardly soluble in water, but soluble in excess oxalate or carbonate solutions as complexes are formed.
The oxides and hydroxides of yttrium are yttrium oxide (YO) and yttrium hydroxide (Y(OH)), respectively, and they are both white solids which are hardly soluble in water.
Yttrium hydroxide can be precipitated by the reaction of soluble yttrium compounds with sodium hydroxide or ammonia, and can also be obtained by the hydrolysis of yttrium alkoxide.
Hydroxy acids and sugars present in the solution will prevent the formation of precipitates due to the formation of stable coordination compounds.
For yttrium chloride (YCl) and yttrium bromide (YBr), the yttrium halide hydrate can be precipitated by cooling their saturated solution or by passing in the corresponding hydrogen halide.
Yttrium halides, like lanthanide metal halides, cannot be obtained by direct heating of the hydrate, otherwise yttrium oxyhalide (YOX) will be formed.
Anhydous compounds can be obtained by heating the hydrate in a hydrogen halide stream, or by treating it with ammonium halide and sulfoxide.
[10] In addition to forming hydrates (YF · 1 / 2HO, YCl · 6HO, YBr·6HO, and YI·8HO), yttrium halides can also form complexes with some ligands.
Substances, such as [Y (Me 3 PO) 6 ] X 3 or [Y (Me 3 AsO) 6 ] X 3 (X = Cl, Br, I) and the like with phosphine oxides.
[11] Yttrium and halogens (except fluorine [12] ) or pseudohalogens can also form complexes, such as Cs 3 [YI ], (BuN) [Y(NCS) ], etc.
The reaction of yttrium metal with yttrium chloride or yttrium bromide yields low-oxidation monohalides YX and yttrium sesquichloride YCl, and sesquibromide YBr (X = Cl, Br).
The ionic radius (0.900) of yttrium in [Y(HO)] is similar to that of holmium [Ho(HO)] (0.901), and differs from easily hydrolyzed [Sc(HO)].
Aromatic polycarboxylates like phthalic acid or trimellitic acid have a rigid shape, and can coordinate more than one yttrium atom to form a metal-organic framework compound.

The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region boasts of one of the oldest habitations in India, going back at least two millennia, and is associated with historic dynasties like Satavahanas and cities such as Dhanyakataka.
The foundation stone was laid for Amaravati, by the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, Former Chief minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu and the Former Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi has laid foundation stone for Andhra Pradesh High Court at Amaravati.
However, the Capital city was planned in rich fertile coastal plains on the banks of Krishna river; about 60 km from Bay of Bengal and said to be designed to have 51% of green spaces and 10% of water bodies.
For the first time in India, the farmers of guntur district and krishna district had gave 33,000 acres of land, to the Government of Andhra Pradesh on land pooling for Amaravati.
It had tied up around Rs 17,500 crore with the Housing and Urban Development Corporation, World Bank, Andhra Bank, Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and planned to raise the balance through public-private partnerships, investments, bonds, lease rental discounting also, it had estimated a budget of over Rs 1 lakh crore for the greenfield capital city.
But, the present government had stopped major projects and contracts backed by APCRDA and Andhra Pradesh Development Corporation Limited (ADCL), stating that the previous government has committed Abuse of information, Insider trading on several properties in Amaravati.
Many construction works and road works at amaravati have come to a grinding halt, even as those undertaken by private companies continue albeit slowly, as the government had appointed several committees for review.
After the World bank, Beijing-based Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank has also withdrawn $200 million funding for the Amaravati capital city project and leds the state government into financial crisis for construction of Amaravati.

In December 1999, Icelandic avant-pop singer Björk and acclaimed British string ensemble The Brodsky Quartet gave two intimate, stand-alone concerts at London’s historic Union Chapel.
The Brodsky Quartet is a classical string quartet formed in 1972 by siblings Michael and Jacqueline Thomas and their friends Ian Belton and Alexander Robertson.
It is through this album that Björk, who found success as a solo artist in 1993 after years fronting bands in Iceland, discovered The Brodsky.
The following year, The Brodsky served as opening and supporting act on select UK dates of Björk’s Post Tour, the singer’s two year concert series in support of her second studio album.
The Brodsky later accompanied Björk to Norway in 1997 when the Icelandic singer became the first pop star to receive the Nordic Council Music Prize.
News about this planned EP continued into the year 2000 when it was reported that the EP was nearing completion with a targeted release date of late 2000.
But by early 2001, it was reported that the release of the EP was pushed back and to this day it has never been released.
As a thank you to St. George's Church in Bristol, England for their years of support and to close out their two year residency at the church, The Brodsky Quartet invited Björk, by then a major international superstar, to share St. George's stage with them on 4 December 1998.
The concert itself was almost completely acoustic with Björk singing without the amplification of a microphone, though the show was reportedly recorded.
A year after the Bristol show, Björk and The Brodsky Quartet performed two sold out concerts at London’s Union Chapel on 9 and 11 December 1999.
This led to a friendship between the two avant garde artists and Björk went on to perform the song selectively during her 2001 Vespertine World Tour, at Coachella in 2002, once on her 2003 Greatest Hits Tour and finally in a 2005 40th anniversary tribute concert to Monk at Carnegie Hall with Monk in attended.
However, not all of these tracks are from the Union Chapel gigs; some of the songs are studio recordings made with The Brodsky in 2000 as per info supplied in the liner notes.
The Brodsky contacted Tavener to write something for Björk after she revealed to them how much she enjoyed the composer’s work.
Music for the film was written by Julian Nott while the film itself was written by the Icelandic poet, Sjón, a frequent collaborator of Björk’s.
Several news outlets at the time reported that the Union Chapel concerts were scheduled for a live CD release which never materialized.
However, a work-in-progress reference CDr has made its way into the collector's market and gives a glimpse into what a live album would have looked like.
While no full length release ever materialized, some compilation albums have been issued which feature selections from the Union Chapel concerts.

Michigan Stove Company is a defunct company that manufactured cooking stoves, heaters, and furnaces in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Detroit, Michigan.
The history of the Michigan Stove Company starts before the American Civil War when people of the United States cooked and provided heat for their homes with an open hearth.
All stoves from the 1840s to the 1860s were made and shipped from New York by way of the Erie Canal and the Great Lakes.
There was a large demand for cooking and heating stoves at the time and they became successful due to the stove making skills Dwyer had learned.
Dwyer and his brother were the first foundry operators in the midwestern United States with the innovation of state of the art engineering foundry techniques in making stoves.
Dwyer became acquainted with Charles DuCharme, a wealthy Detroiter who sold him pig iron and materials so he could make his stoves.
DuCharme invested into his company and they ultimately incorporated as a stock company in 1864 and became the Detroit Stove Works.
Dwyer sold his ownership in the company to his brother and Edwin S Barbour to live in the southern United States.
Michigan Stove Company made steels of aluminum and other metals mixed with iron for the unique mix to make their stoves and ranges.
The company employed around fifteen hundred workers at any one time and manufactured 60,000 to 70,000 stoves and heaters a year.
They sold their stoves and heaters in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana at the beginning and within a couple of decades were sold throughout the United States.
A unique feature of the stove was when it burned natural gas as a ring of orifices was placed on top above the ash pit.
The placement of the gas burning ring then required no modifications in the fire box construction so that it could burn coal, coke, or wood as was originally intended for the main unit.
The gas ring construction provided efficient heat as it extracted most of the heat the orifices could furnish since the gas was super heated before being ignited.
Dwyer ran the world's largest producer of stoves at the time, Michigan Stove Company, and was director of several other stove companies.
Sometime in the mid 1830s he met and married a young lady by the name of Mary O'Donell that was from his home town in Ireland.
In 1848 Dwyer's father was killed by being thrown from a runaway wagon, since the horses pulling the wagon were frightened by the noise of a nearby train locomotive and ran out of control.
After graduating from high school he worked as an apprentice for four years in the moulding trade at hydraulic iron works of Kellogg & Van Schoick.
Dwyer became a journeyman after completing his apprenticeship and worked for three years at various foundries in the state of New York learning the stove business.
He then returned to Detroit and due to health issues as a result of intense work in poorly ventilated foundries it behooved him to change fields for a while.
Then with his brother James and Thomas W Misner they bought out a small reaper manufacturer trying to make stoves and was failing.
He was board member at Michigan Stove, Peninsular Stove, Art Stove, Buck's Stove, Michigan Copper & Brass, Michigan Fire and Marine Insurance, Security Trust, and Ideal Manufacturing of Detroit.
Dwyer received from George Harrison Barbour, the vice president of Michigan Stove Company, the idea of constructing the World's Largest Stove for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and had his plant superintendent William J.
Dwyer suffered various illnesses for years toward the end of his life that caused him to withdraw from his business affairs.
The World's Largest Stove (aka The Michigan Stove and Mammoth Garland) was a massive replica of a kitchen stove that was made for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair as a representation of Michigan Stove Company and its products.
There was a restoration project for the replica at the end of the twentieth century and the new resurrected giant wooden stove given a permanent home at Michigan State Fairgrounds.
The company, started by Jeremiah Dwyer, wanted to grab the attention of the visitors attending the 1893 Chicago World's Fair so had the company build a gigantic replica of one of its popular kitchen stoves.
The company's vice president George Harrison Barbour was also appointed to the national commission board of the World's Fair and passed the idea of making a giant replica onto Dwyer.
It was placed on a pedestal in front of Michigan Stove Company's manufacturing factory on East Jefferson Avenue at Adair Street.
The Garland giant was moved in 1927 to the front lawn of the newly-formed Detroit-Michigan Stove Company at the entrance to Belle Isle Bridge in Detroit.
Michigan Stove Company's huge replica was used at the factory's front lawn location on lease from 1957 to 1965 by Schaefer Bakeries for advertising its bread.
Twenty truckloads of the wooden replica pieces were then taken back to Michigan State Fairgrounds in 1995 where artisans from Greenfield Village started the restoration project.
The legs of the giant facsimile Garland stove are framed by a concrete wall with the names of the major contributors.
The walkways leading up to the replica stove were paved with memorial bricks that show donors that had given $25 each for the restoration project.
A new home was being sought for the prodigious stove since the state of Michigan no longer had a state fair after 2009 due to budget cuts.
Firefighters arrived around 8:00 pm at Michigan State Fairgrounds after they were called, however the wooden stove burned down to its steel frame and couldn't be saved.
The state of Michigan is returning the bricks purchased as memorials and used as paving for the walkways to the 1998 restored replica at the fairgrounds location.

George Harrison Barbour (June 26, 1843March 28, 1934) was an American businessman, industrialist, financier, and manufacturer of stoves in Detroit, Michigan.
He was also a member on the board of directors of several banks, insurance firms, and other enterprises throughout the United States.
The first ancestor of his family line to have immigrated from England to the New World was Thomas Barber in 1634.
Barbour attended school the first part of the day and assisted his father at the store the rest of the day.
Barbour was successful in running the general store and in two years paid off the indebtedness to his father for the partnership share.
Barbour then sold the general store business in Collinsville and moved to Detroit in 1872 to become the secretary and sales manager of the firm.
It was Barbour's idea to build a giant Garland kitchen range for the company's representation at the fair, and he passed the idea onto Jeremiah Dwyer who started the company.
Barbour happened to be on the national board of the Chicago Fair so came up with the idea to build the 15-ton giant replica.
Barbour continued in the positions of secretary and sales manager of the company until 1886 when he became vice president and general manager.
Barbour orchestrated a merger with the Detroit Stove Works in 1925 to then become the largest manufacturer of stoves in the world.
Barbour was also president of the Ireland & Mathews Manufacturing Company and vice president and a director of the Dime Savings Bank and First National Bank.
He also held a position as a director of the Peoples State Bank and a director of the Michigan Fire & Marine Insurance Company.
Barbour died at the age of 90 years at his summer residence at 9 Bershire Place in Gross Point Farms near Detroit, Michigan.
Keep (also William John Keep) (June 3, 1842September 30, 1918) was an American mechanical engineer who worked with molten metals in foundries.
He mixed aluminum and other elements with iron to come up with new alloys with different characteristics that were used for stoves and heaters.
Keep was a genealogist and he traced his paternal line from his earliest American ancestor who came from England, John Keep.
Keep's natural ability was as a mechanic and before entering Union College to learn mechanical engineering he became a machinist at Globe Iron Works in Cleveland.
Keep was a first corporal in the Oberlin company of the Squirrel Hunters under martial law of Union General Lew Wallace.
He was in charge of forces to repel an invasion into southern Ohio led by Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith in September 1862.
Keep in 1865 became a foreman at Hubbell & Brothers Stove Works in Buffalo, New York and was there from 1865 to 1868.
Keep gave lectures on the steam engine to the senior class at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute during the time he lived at Troy from 1872 to 1877.
Keep innovated a new process of making malleable iron castings using a secret mix of iron ore, aluminum and other elements.
He was deeply interested in metallurgical research and wrote articles for the American Institute of Mining Engineers for nearly a decade starting in 1888.
The vice president of the company George Harrison Barbour came up with the idea of making a giant stove and had woodcarvers construct and carve the mammoth 15 ton replica according to Keep's designs.
During World War I he was a lieutenant colonel in charge of construction in France serving as assistant to the chief engineer of the American Expeditionary Forces.

It opened in 1988 and was previously named Trapholt Kunstmuseum (Trapholt Museum of Art) but its increasing focus on the broader arts lead to its shortened name.
The museum was expanded in 1996 to house a furniture collection with contemporary Danish furniture design, with a collection of over 500 chairs from the 20th century, which is the largest in Denmark.
Trapholt comprises the museum itself and its surrounding sculpture park which includes works by Ingvar Cronhammar, Bjørn Nørgaard, Lars Ravn, and Søren Jensen.
It is the only of its kind as it never entered production given the artist's death in 1971 and is furnished with Jacobsen's own designs.
Until 2002 it was used as a private summer house by the Jacobsen family, but was moved from Sydsjælland to Trapholt in 2005 and opened to the public.
In 2000, the museum gained international notability when artist Marco Evaristti exhibited his work Helena, an installation featuring ten functioning blenders each containing a live goldfish, allowing viewers to turn on and kill the fish.
Danish animal rights charity Dyrenes Beskyttelse complained and then-Director of Trapholt Peter Meyer was fined 2000 DKK for animal cruelty as he refused a police request to turn off the blenders.
After refusing to pay the fine, Meyer and the museum were taken to court, where they were eventually acquitted of the charge and the fine was retracted.
The Ta-Ching Government Bank (), known as the Ta-Ching Bank of the Ministry of Revenue (大清戶部銀行) from 1905 to 1908, was the name of the Bank of China as a government agency of the Manchu Qing dynasty until the empire's dissolution in 1911.
The Ta-Ching Government Bank was the first national bank in the history of China and served as both the country's central bank as well as a commercial bank to finance projects.
The Ta-Ching Government Bank evolved into the Bank of China in Mainland China and the Mega International Commercial Bank in Taiwan.
During the later part of the Qing dynasty era there was a discussion on whether or not the imperial Chinese government would have to establish a national bank which it finally did in 1905.
The large number of private notes that were being produced all over the empire was to be restricted by introducing a stamp duty (印花稅).
The reformer Liang Qichao campaigned for the government of the Qing dynasty to emulate the Western world and Japan by embracing the gold standard, unify refractory the currencies of China, and issue government-backed banknotes with a ⅓ metallic reserve.
At the end of 1905 the Ta-Ching Bank of the Ministry of Revenue (大清戶部銀行) was founded, and the production of the banknotes was entrusted to the prints of the Beiyang Newspaper (北洋報局) in Northern China.
The Ta-Ching Government Bank was the earliest officially opened national bank in China, and it opened its first office in the capital city of Beijing on September 27, 1905 (Guangxu 31).
In 1906 the government of the Qing dynasty sent students to Japan to be educated about modern printing techniques, with the aim to have the Shanghai Commercial Press print the cheques of the Ministry's Bank.
In 1912 the Ta-Ching Government bank was renamed to the Bank of China by government charter of the new Republican government.
Part of the bank relocated to Taiwan with the Kuomintang (KMT) government, and was privatised in 1971 to become the International Commercial Bank of China ().
Because there is no advanced engraving technology for banknotes in China at the time and the banknotes that were printed by the Beiyang Newspaper's commercial press were both expensive to make and easy to imitate, the government of the Qing dynasty had later commissioned the American Bank Note Company to print new banknotes for the Ta-Ching Government Bank.
Following the Chinese tradition of issuing new money in a new reign, the Xuantong administration had the design of the official Ta-Ching Government Bank paper notes somewhat changed to herald in the new emperor.
The new design was inspired by the designs of the banknotes of the United States dollar of this era; some banknotes showed the portrait of Li Hongzhang, and others depicted that of Zaifeng, Prince Chun who at the time was the current Chinese Minister of Finance.
At the eve of the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, there were 5,400,000 tael worth of Yinliang banknotes circulating in China, and 12,400,000 yuan in Yinyuan banknotes.
The banknotes of the Ta-Ching Government Bank (Traditional Chinese: 大清銀行兌換券), known as the banknotes of the Ta-Ching Bank of the Ministry of Revenue (Traditional Chinese: 大清戶部銀行兌換券) from 1905 to 1908, were intended to become the main form of paper money in the Qing currency system.
These banknotes were issued by the Ta-Ching Government Bank, a national bank established to serve as the central bank of the Qing dynasty.
The Ta-Ching Government Bank had branches throughout China and many of its branches outside of its headquarters in Beijing also issued banknotes.
The Ta-Ching Government Bank was the first official financial institution in the history of China to fulfill the functions of a central bank.
During the transition from Ming to Qing the Manchu government issued banknotes to finance its expensive military campaigns, but following their conquest of China they abolished these banknotes.
Under the reign of the Xianfeng Emperor the Da-Qing Baochao (大清寶鈔) copper-alloy cash coins-based banknotes and Hubu Guanpiao (戶部官票) silver tael-based banknotes were introduced in response to the Taiping Rebellion, but these banknotes would suffer severe inflation due to mismanagement and were eventually abolished causing the Chinese populace to distrust government-issued paper money once again, though private banknotes would continue to be trusted and to circulate.
Following the opening up of many treaty port cities of China after its defeat during the First Opium War during the 1840s, a large number of major foreign banks entered China and started issuing their own banknotes there for local circulation.
The boom of financial institutions during this era meant that various forms of paper money, private banknotes, foreign banknotes, and many different kinds of local coinages circulated concurrently creating a very chaotic Chinese currency system.
During the later part of the Qing dynasty era there was a discussion on whether or not the imperial Chinese government would have to establish a national bank which it finally did in 1905.
The large number of private notes that were being produced all over the empire was to be restricted by introducing a stamp duty (印花稅).
The reformer Liang Qichao campaigned for the government of the Qing dynasty to emulate the Western world and Japan by embracing the gold standard, unify refractory the currencies of China, and issue government-backed banknotes with a ⅓ metallic reserve.
In 1906 the government of the Qing dynasty sent students to Japan to be educated about modern printing techniques, with the aim to have the Shanghai Commercial Press (上海商務印書館) print the cheques of the Ministry's Bank.
In the year 1906, the government of the Qing dynasty was reformed and in the year 1908 the Ta-Ching Bank of the Ministry of Revenue changed its name to the Ta-Ching Government Bank (大清銀行) and the inscriptions of the banknotes issued by it had to be changed to reflect its new name.
Because there is no advanced engraving technology for banknotes in China at the time and the banknotes that were printed by the Beiyang Newspaper's commercial press were both expensive to make and easy to imitate, the government of the Qing dynasty had later commissioned the American Bank Note Company to print new banknotes for the Ta-Ching Government Bank.
During this period, several employees of the Ta-Ching Government Bank were sent to Japan to study modern printing technology and after these people returned to China, they would propose to the imperial court to adopt the Japanese method of copper engraving and some trial banknotes were made, but the proposition was ultimately not adopted by the government of the Qing dynasty.
Following the Chinese tradition of issuing new money in a new reign, the Xuantong administration had the design of the official Ta-Ching Government Bank paper notes somewhat changed to herald in the new emperor.
In the year 1910, the government of the Qing dynasty issued a new law to solve the chaotic currency situation of China at the time, this law made the banknotes issued by the Ta-Ching Government Bank the only legal tender paper money in China.
The law further stipulated that only the Ta-Ching Government Bank can issue paper money and that its banknotes can be used for all payment activities and financial transactions across the country.
The government of the Qing dynasty hired the American sculptor L. J. Hatch and several American technicians to train the banknote printing staff and they were set out to design a new version of Ta-Ching Government Bank banknotes.
The Ta-Ching Government Bank had commissioned eighth trial banknotes based on these designs, they were in the denominations of 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, and 100 yuan.
Ultimately, the trial notes all featured a black obverse side and their reverse sides in different colours with the 1 yuan being green, the 5 yuan being purple, the 10 yuan being blue, and the 100 yuan being yellow, they were all printed by a branch of the Ta-Ching Government Bank.
These banknotes did not see circulation as in 1911 the Xinhai Revolution broke out which overthrew the Qing dynasty and only a handful of trial banknotes were ever printed.
At the eve of the Xinhai Revolution, there were 5,400,000 tael worth of Yinliang banknotes circulating in China, and 12,400,000 yuan in Yinyuan banknotes.
Part of the bank relocated to Taiwan with the Kuomintang (KMT) government, and was privatised in 1971 to become the International Commercial Bank of China ().

While not unanimous that incorporation was the correct choice, the need for incorporation arose with questions of how property taxes were being spent (at a county level, instead of being held locally) as well as concerns of fire management, road grade, issues that seemed beyond the scope of the HOA.
The first inaugurated government consisted of Mayor Steven C. Swann, with town council members Susan Allman, Beth Gaines, Linda Stetzenbach, and Paul Starks.
The process of incorporation of Cedar Highlands was notable because it was the first town incorporated after the 2016 Utah State Legislature changed the process of incorporation to be overseen by the office of the Lieutenant Governor’s rather than by local county governments.
The resulting administrative changes in government caused a significant rift between Mayor Swann and his council, resulting in his resignation on June 28th, 2019.
While the news was well received by some, it was a surprise to members of the town council, who claimed that the impasse was a matter of differing visions, while the Mayor claimed the town was taking on additional liabilities.
He was known locally for being openly critical of the previous Mayor Swann, running an online site that discussed management issues in the community.

Much of the area was unexplored and unmapped, so Carnegie hoped to find good pastoral or gold-bearing land and make a name for himself as an explorer.
By 9 August, they were desperately short of water; that day they came upon a native, whom they captured and forced to show where water was located.
The party realized they could never have found water in the hidden spring without the assistance of a native, so for the remainder of the journey, whenever short of water, the party tracked down and captured natives and tried to force them to lead the expedition to water.
Since the party was traveling in a northerly direction, they had to cross these sand ridges at right angles, and this made travel even more difficult.
Four weeks later, with the party only from the Derby– Halls Creek road, Stansmore slipped while crossing a ridge and dropped his gun.
On arriving at Halls Creek, the party was informed that two members of the Calvert Exploring Expedition were missing in the desert.
Carnegie offered to join the search for the missing men, but despite his familiarity with the search area, he was not sent out immediately, being instead put on standby in Halls Creek.
He formulated a search plan and purchased three horses in anticipation of joining the search, but to the party's great frustration, they remained on standby for nearly fifteen weeks.
Carnegie's expedition was originally intended to terminate at Halls Creek, but since they had found no gold-bearing or pastoral land, the party decided to continue exploring by returning to Coolgardie by a more easterly overland route.
At first, the going was easier than the trip north: water and game were easily found; the natives they encountered were friendly; and the camels' loads had been lightened, enabling them to carry a large supply of water.
However, the three horses that replaced the three lost camels needed regular and generous watering, leading to the party experiencing similar hardships to their northerly trip.
They arrived back in Coolgardie late in August 1897, having again found no land of interest to a prospector or pastoralist.
Carnegie recorded the native words for a small number of common items and also produced sketches of native weapons and ceremonial implements.

Bessie Van Vorst (née McGinnis ) (2 September 1873, New York City – 19 May 1928, Paris) also known as Mrs. John Van Vorst, was an American author and journalist.
His father Judge Hopper Cornelius van Vorst was a president of the Holland Society and served on the United States Circuit Court.
For her study of a child labor she visited the Dwight Manufacturing Company in Alabama City, the Massachusetts Cotton Mill in Lindale, Georgia, and the Merrimack Manufacturing Company in Huntville.
Everywhere she traveled she saw children of twelve years and younger working as doffers or sweepers, earning between twenty and fifty cents for twelve-hour work day, often on night shift.
Even after returning to Paris, Van Vorst continued writing and served as a correspondent for publications out of both France and the United States, writing on a number of social issues.
In 1901 Bessie and Marie Van Vorst started their undercover investigation working on several factories, promising to reveal to readers the world of the factory workers.
President's primary concern in the letter was a race suicide that he believed was more important than any other question in the country.
When the publisher saw the letter he asked Van Vorst to compile her magazine work on laboring women into a book prefaced with the president's note.
One part of the letter in particular caused a sensation among Americans who weren't used to see any president address such issues as demography and birth control.
His criticism of voluntary childlessness was adopted by many citizens at that time as well as changed the way families were depicted in mass media centralizing the children.
The idea of race suicide would become a favorite Roosevelt's hobbyhorse on his lecture tours where he persuaded white women to have babies.
In their book Van Vorsts described the difficult working conditions and mean living they had observed and their bad effects on women and young girls.
Besides describing hard working conditions Van Vorst also noted that factory women enjoyed the independence afforded them by paid labor and therefore delayed marrying.
Auer claims that the Van Vorsts’ undercover investigation is nothing but a simulation of the reality as the researchers remain untrammeled by the economic, educational, and emotional ties which bind female factory workers.

Frieda Fordham, (born Winefride Rothwell on 23 Feb 1903 - 7 Jan 1988) was a psychiatric social worker, Jungian analyst and writer.
She later trained as a Jungian analyst and was a founding member of the Society of Analytical Psychology, with her husband, Michael and six others.
She became a training analyst and was the author, among other works, of a classic text, 'An Introduction to Jung's Psychology', first published by Penguin Books in 1953 and subsequently much reprinted and translated into several languages.
She is the Sady and Ludwig Kahn director of the Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies, professor of history, and holder of the Maurice Amado Chair in Sephardic Studies at UCLA.
The book tells the story of Sephardic history by looking at the descendants of Sa’adi Besalel Asheknazi a-Levi, a prominent resident of Ottoman-era Salonica (now Thesaloniki, Greece).
Theo the Pipe Smoker (* around 1790; † around 1820 in Kleinbasel) is the fictitious name of a man whose skeleton was found in 1984 in a former potter's field near the Theodorskirche (Theodor Church) in Kleinbasel (part of the Swiss city of Basel).
Although Kleinbasel was part of the city of Basel since the Middle Ages, it remained independent in many respects due to its location on the right bank of the Rhine.
The census of 1799 showed a population of just under 3000 people for the densely populated Kleinbasel, plus those not recorded, such as day labourers or passing travellers.
When Theo was born, the Middle Bridge was the only link across the Rhine in the region, as the Wettstein Bridge (German: Wettsteinbrücke) was only built in 1879.
It was used by sawmills, dye works and fulling mills, by tanners and millers, for gypsum mills, tobacco mills and others.
On the southern and eastern side of Kleinbasel, that were not traversed by watercourses, many of Kleinbasel’s inhabitants lived on agriculture, as winegrowers or sailors.
After the last grape harvest, it was prepared for the long-needed extension of the regular churchyard; the first funeral took place on 5 October 1779.
All burials were recorded in the register of deaths of the St. Theodor parish with first and last name, age, and often also with profession and origin.
Thus, the excavation work was accompanied by archaeologists of the Archäologischen Bodenforschung Basel-Stadt, the archaeological department of the Canton of Basel-Stadt.
In the winter of 1984, workers came across the remains of 24 graves in the western part of the former cemetery.
The skeleton was recovered completely, only the bones of a foot had to remain in the ground, as the wall of the pit could not be removed for static reasons.
Theo’s grave was dated as later than these, but earlier than grave 20, oriented in the same direction at his feet.
The older graves were oriented northeast-southwest and rather shallow, whereas the graves of the younger phase were oriented southwest-northeast and tended to be placed deeper in the ground.
So, Theo's body had obviously neither been buried at the beginning of this younger burial phase of 1814 nor the last one around 1833, but probably in the 1820s.
A total of 24 skeletons were recovered, brought to the Natural History Museum of Basel and archived there in the collection.
The research on Theo’s skeleton and his person was also the beginning of the extensive Basel Citizen Science program (in German: Bürgerforschung Basel-Stadt, BBS).
The numerous written and pictorial documents in the Staatsarchiv Basel-Stadt (State Archives of Basel City) from the 18th and 19th centuries greatly facilitated the research.
As part of an exercise conducted by the Institute for Integrative Prehistory and Archaeological Science of the University of Basel, two students, anthropologist Simon Kramis and historian Fabian Link, examined the skeleton from tomb 19 in 2004 and noticed two oval, almost circular gaps in the young man’s dentures, which aroused the young researchers’ curiosity and led to further investigations of the skeleton.
A strontium isotope analysis of three of his molars showed that he had most probably lived in the Basel area until the age of 13.
Investigations of dental cement and bone showed that as a young man he had suffered at least two phases of stress and signs of incipient osteoarthritis.
The cause of death could possibly have been an injury to the soft tissues caused by violence, or an infectious disease with a rapid course that left no traces on the skeleton.
Apart from that, the aforementioned oval gaps on the left side of the dentition are remarkable, as they almost form a circular cross-section when the jaw is slightly opened.
Examinations with a scanning electron microscope showed fine scratch marks on the tooth surface, indicating a wear process caused by the ceramic mouthpiece of a clay pipe and the fine quartz grains contained therein.
Excavations in graveyards with well-documented information on the deceased show that excessive smoking of clay pipes, which could also be smoked while working without using the hands, was more common in socially weak and hardworking classes.
On the small Merianscher Totenacker, which was in use from 5 October 1779 to 1 May 1833, there were neither gravestones nor memorial plaques nor a map of the area, nothing reminded of the dead who had been buried here.
In the Staatsarchiv Basel-Stadt, on the other hand, there was the death register of the parish of St. Theodor which listed the names, professions, age at death, and places of birth of all those who died in Kleinbasel.
Information on the burial place, however, was missing; it was not specified whether a deceased person found their final resting place in the Theodorskirche, in the Merianscher Totenacker, or in another of Kleinbasel’s cemeteries.
Since his age could be determined to be around 30 years, all candidates who were younger than 26 and older than 34 were eliminated, reducing the number of eligible candidates to 134.
Since Theo had belonged to the younger burial phase and the archaeologists connected this to the great typhoid epidemic of 1814, all men who died before 1814 were struck off the list.
As Theo must have had the pipe in his mouth all the time during his work and smoking was forbidden during activities in the wood and textile trades, the probability that he had pursued such a profession must have been rather low.
It took into account all candidates who could be considered to be Theo and assigned them each a certain probability to be Theo based on information about his profile.
In 2008, the database still listed twelve so-called top candidates who had a probability of 96 percent of being identical to Theo.
In order to find out whether one of the top twelve candidates was Theo, descendants had to be found on the female line in order to compare their DNA with Theo’s.
Genealogical research on descendants on the female line is demanding and time-consuming since every time women married, they adopted their husband’s name.
From the list of twelve, genealogical research was able to determine the names of fifteen possible descendants of the top candidates.
They were announced to the press together with the list of the twelve candidates on 10 March 2010, in the hope that descendants still living would recognise relatives.
For reasons of protection of descendants, care was taken to ensure than only names of potential descendants who had already been dead for a hundred years were published; protection of descendants takes effect upon the death of a person for a period of 100 years.
However, since they were descendants on the male line, they were not carriers of the mitochondrial DNA and no DNA comparison could be made.
Therefore, the genealogical procedure was adapted: Now, based on the list of twelve, through extensive genealogical family research descendants of the potential Theo candidates were to be found.
The following information on the life circumstances and family situation of the first two candidates, who could have been Theo, is based on the one hand on the research of several genealogists of the Citizen Science Basel (BBS), Marina Zulauf, Ursula Fink, Diana Gysin, and Beat Stadler, who searched the various archives, and on the other hand on genealogical and job-specific research.
Since no descendants of either of them could be found through the female line, a reliable identification has not yet been possible.
On 16 November 1816, Bender took his own life at six in the morning by cutting his throat with a razor.
It is also conceivable, however, that she advanced a disease so that her husband would receive an honest grave inside the churchyard and not be buried outside the cemetery walls, as was customary for suicides at the time.
Due to the fact that the neck muscles on the right side were completely severed but remained almost intact on the left side, it can be concluded that Bender made the cut from the top right to the bottom left, so he must have been left-handed.
If it now turns out that Theo was identical with Christian Friedrich Bender, this could indicate that Bender was killed – Theo was right-handed.
In August 1818 she married master glazier Adam Uehlinger, had two more children, died on 26 June 1839 at the age of 55 and left behind a considerable fortune of almost 20'000 francs.
On 2 March 1786, the professor of theology Jakob Meyer and the master dyer and Grand Councillor Achilles Miville were entered into the baptism register of the Theodorskirch as his godparents – perhaps a sign of charity towards the suffering family.
The family probably lived in poor conditions in two or three subletted rooms in the district of the parish of St. Theodor in Kleinbasel.
The father was a city soldier and had to feed the family of nine with a monthly wage of ten francs.
Of her seven children, the three youngest died as infants, the second son, Jacob Conrad Roth, drowned in the Rhine at the age of thirteen.
Achilles Itin remained unmarried and died at the age of 30 on 14 November 1816, a few months after his mother.
In the year 2001, historian Fabian Link created a facial reconstruction of Theo under the guidance of anthropologist and sculptor Gyula Skultéty.
Using newly developed methods, Forensic Genetics in Berlin managed in 2015 to isolate fragments of Theo’s nuclear DNA from a bone sample.
When researching the male line, there is the possibility of so-called milkman′s children who interrupt the paternal line with foreign DNA.
Therefore, if there is no proof of kinship in a potential descendant of Theo, the candidate cannot be removed from the candidate list with one hundred percent certainty.
To improve the possibilities of finding Theo’s descendants, a whole genome sequencing of Theo was carried out by the University of Potsdam (Institute of biochemistry and biology; evolutionary adaptive genomics) and Forensic Genetics Berlin.
The data obtained are uploaded to DNA databases such as GEDmatch which compare about 1 million DNA autosomal markers instead of maternal and paternal lines.
The most important statement so far has been that Theo belongs to the exact mitochondrial haplogroup U-3546A, as well as the Y-chromosomal haplogroup R1b-S22194 with the further private mutations BY47236 T and BY126769 G.

Shirin polo, also commonly known as Persian wedding rice, or Rosh Hashanah rice, is a traditional Persian Jewish rice dish that is commonly served to mark special occasions such as weddings, Purim, Pesach, Rosh Hashanah and the high holidays.
Shirin polo is considered a celebratory dish in the Persian Jewish community, with its preparation and consumption typically being given reserved for weddings, birthdays, and holidays such as Rosh Hashanah or Pesach.
The dish typically consists of basmati or jasmine rice that has been cooked in a unique method, involving soaking and boiling in a large amount of water, before being combined with a water-oil mixture containing saffron and/or ground turmeric, which is left to steam.
Some variants of shirin polo has a crispy crust, which is later used as a topping for the dish, and is called tahdig.
But many variants do not have the tahdig, and instead the rice is a uniformly yellow color due to the presence of saffron or turmeric.
The rice is drained and rinsed, and added to boiling water where it is boiled to an al dente consistency similar to pasta.
The rice is drained in a colander once more, and a slotted spoon is used to fluff the grains and help them steam somewhat.
Oftentimes a pinch of saffron or turmeric is added to the bottom of a pot, the rice is then poured into the pot and the reserved water-oil-spice mixture is poured on top of the rice.
Variants featuring a tahdig, or a crispy yellow rice crust, are often cooked for several hours until the tahdig is formed.
Once the shirin polo is finished cooking and is ready to serve, it is carefully unmoulded onto a serving platter and the shards of the tahdig, or crispy rice, are placed on top as a garnish.
The Persian wedding rise is then topped with a wide variety of dried fruits, such as apricots, barberries, dates, prunes, and nuts such as pistachio, almond, walnut, or hazelnuts.
Depending on the family, the dried fruits and nuts may be left whole or chopped, as different families have different traditions concerning this with some preferring them dried fruits and nuts to be left whole, while others prefer them to be chopped into smaller pieces.

Diki Tsering (德吉才仁, c. 1901 – January 12, 1981) was the mother of 3 reincarnated Rinpoches/Lamas: the mother of Lhamo Thondup, Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th reincarnated Dalai Lama, the mother of Thubten Jigme Norbu, the 6th reincarnated Taktser Rinpoche, and the mother of Tendzin Choegyal, the 16th reincarnated Ngari Rinpoche.
In the article The Discourse of Lama, Qianlong Emperor condemned families with multiple reincarnated Rinpoches/Lamas , and he started policy (Article One of The 29-Article Ordinance for the More Effective Governing of Tibet) of using lot-drawing process with Golden Urn to pick reincarnated lamas including the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama.
After death of Reting Rinpoche, since Golden Urn was not used in the lot-drawing selection process, the word was that a relative of the thirteenth Dalai Lama, Ditru Rinpoche was the real 14th Dalai Lama.
To eliminate doubt from the Kashag, it was decided to use lot-drawing process by placing both names in an urn, and shake the urn, and the name Lhamo Thondup fell out.

The HKL Class M300 is a class of metro trains operated by Helsinki City Transport (HKL) in use on the Helsinki Metro.
The fortress of Palaiokastro was built in the sixteenth century to protect both the bay of Fraskia and the bay of Heraklion from enemy ships.
Before the construction of the modern port of Heraklion in the 1920s, and especially during Venetian times, Fraskia bay was important for maritime trade.
Furthermore, Fraskia bay functioned as an outport for the port of Heraklion as the shallow waters of the latter often forced vessels to take on only part of their cargo from Heraklion and the rest from Fraskia.

The first synagogue building was dedicated in 1935 by the Jewish community, located in a building on Rue du Cloître-de-la-Barge, not far from the Cathedral and the Court House.
On December 2, 1951, Le Souvenir français, a French association for maintaining war memorials and war memory, organized a ceremony at the Synagogue to remember those in the Jewish community who were killed during the war.
Rabbi Paul Bauer of Paris gave a speech at the event, making a point to remember all the dead of the war, regardless of their political, philosophical or religious views.
In 1968, the synagogue was moved because the block where it was located was undergoing construction, requiring demolition of the building.
A new synagogue opened its doors in 1969 at Port d'Amont, close to the Pont Beauvillé, where the community used a re-purposed garage as a worship space.
The building was dedicated on October 22, 2017, with Chief Rabbi of France Haïm Korsia in attendance, as well as Jewish and political figures from Lille, Paris and Amiens.
The sides of the building have mashrabiya openings that resemble Stars of David.. A side door with the Tablets of Stone leads to the ground floor, where the sanctuary is located.
Doctolib is a Franco-German company founded in late 2013 that creates consultation management software for health professionals and an online appointment-booking service for patients.
Doctolib was founded in December 2013 by Stanislas Niox-Chateau, Jessy Bernal, Ivan Schneider and Steve Abou-Rjeily, with the participation of 50 partner practitioners (doctors and dentists).
The company obtained support early on from the City of Paris, from the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research and from the European Social Fund, via the Agoranov business incubator.
In February 2014, Doctolib raised 1 million euros from French entrepreneurs including Bertrand Jelensperger (co-founder of La Fourchette), Olivier Occelli (founder of NaturaBuy) and Antoine Freyz (Lastminute).
In November 2014, the company raised 4 million euros from its existing investors and from new investors including Pierre Kosciusko-Morizet and Pierre Krings, the co-founders of PriceMinister.
A month later, in December 2014, the company was working with 1,000 partner health professionals, with 10 new clinics joining the company.
After an experiment conducted with the Georges-Pompidou European hospital in Paris, in April 2017, a thousand doctors practicing at the AP-HP began offering online appointment-booking, both on the AP-HP website and on the Doctolib platform.
According to a study by the Hospinnomics Chair, the introduction of online appointment-booking had two positive effects for the hospital: for the health professionals, a month after the installation of theplatform the number of fee-generating appointments increased by 7.5% in the AP-HP health establishments equipped with this solution.
In addition to this increase in efficiency for health professionals, the service was also popular with patients: ⅓ of the 5,000 patients interviewed by the AP-HP in January 2018 stated that they would have looked for an appointment outside the AP-HP without the online appointment-booking system and 85% of them recommended the service to their friends and relatives without any prompting.
With a workforce now numbering 600 people, the two businesses were eager to provide more comprehensive services while also improving the treatment experience for patients and access to health professionals.
Organized with 500 partner doctors, the service is part of the Convention médicale (medical treatment contracts system) and is refunded in full by the French health insurance system.
In September 2019, the company announced that it had authorized 40,000 tele-consultations via its services, equivalent to two thirds of the tele-consultations reimbursed in France since the start of reimbursement.
In March 2019, the company had 75,000 professionals and 1,400 health establishments as clients while generating 30 million patient visits each month via its website and mobile application.

The XM1100 Scorpion, formerly known as the Intelligent Munitions System, was an anti-vehicle, smart ground munition developed by Textron Defense Systems as a safer alternative to traditional landmines.
It was a remotely controlled, integrated system of lethal and non-lethal munitions, ground sensors, and communication technology that could autonomously detect, track, and destroy light-wheeled to heavy-tracked vehicles.
Each dispensing module can cover a minimum lethal area of 35 meters in diameter, which can be arranged to overlap the fields of other dispensing modules in order to expand the total range of surveillance.
An operator supervising a single XM1100 Scorpion control station can control the activity of its corresponding dispensing module at a range of up to 3 kilometers.
Unlike traditional landmines, the activity of the XM1100 Scorpion munitions can be remotely turned on or off by the operator, allowing friendly vehicles to pass through the lethal area unharmed if necessary.
However, once activated, the XM1100 Scorpion can fire four anti-vehicle smart munitions into the air, releasing a guided warhead on the target.
The system is also connected to the Army Battle Command Network, which allows military personnel to monitor enemy and non-combatant activity as well as prevent unwanted or unused munitions from becoming buried and forgotten.
Development for the XM1100 Scorpion began as a response to the U.S. landmine policy directive of 2004, which banned the use of persistent landmines.
On July 2006, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) awarded Textron Defense Systems with a $115 million contract for the design and development of the XM1100 Scorpion and the similarly smart XM-7 Spider landmine system as part of the DoD’s Future Combat System (FCS) acquisition program.
However, decreases in the Army’s funding and the high cost of developing the munition system caused the DoD to delete the project from the FCS contract, and the XM1100 Scorpion was established as a stand-alone program in January 2007 under the supervision of the Army’s Project Manager for Close Combat Systems (PM-CCS).
In 2009, a test series of the system at Fort Benning, Georgia evaluated the XM1100 Scorpion’s ability to identify and engage targets in urban environments.
In 2010, successful performance testing at Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona showed that the XM1100 Scorpion had verified its operational reliability across all operational environments.
In contrast, the development of the XM-7 Spider continued unhindered due to a $34 million contract awarded by Picatinny Arsenal in 2011.

It was created as the basis of a massive confidence scam by George G. Wright, an unscrupulous land promoter, in order to sell an 80,000 acre tract of XIT Ranch land that existed 25 miles northwest of Hereford.
Wright constructed a fake town which included a hotel, a general store, and a schoolhouse, none of which were occupied by permanent settlers.
Wright's fraud was so successful that the United States Postal Service briefly established a post office in Kelso that operated from 1907-1908.
Wright and his associates, by misrepresenting the quality and value of the land, its distance from towns, and stage of development, successfully sold parcels at prices from $8 to $40 an acre.
In order to protect the scam, residents from the immediate surrounding area were not allowed on the special trains Wright chartered from Kansas City, and the land purchasers were disallowed from mingling with local residents.
Dryland farmers, who made up the preponderance of the buyers, realized too late that the town was fake and that deep-well irrigation was necessary to grow crops.

Bab Ftouh (also spelled Bab Fetouh) is the main southeastern gate of Fes el-Bali, the old walled city of Fes, Morocco.
Not long after, in 1069, the twin cities were conquered by the Almoravids and joined into one city with a single set of walls.
These were destroyed in 1145 by the Almohad conqueror Abd al-Mu'min but then rebuilt by one of his successors, Muhammad al-Nasir, in 1212.
The current gate thus dates back essentially to the Almohad period, when it was one of the gates in the walls rebuilt by Muhammad al-Nasir.
Two other gates used to be located not far from it: Bab Khoukha to the northeast and Bab el-Hamra to the southwest.
However, both of these disappeared centuries ago, leaving Bab Ftouh as the only main entrance in this part of the city.
In the late 16th century the Saadians built a kasbah (citadel or fortified enclosure), called Kasbah Tamdert, just north of the gate and inside the city walls, most likely to help maintain control over the hostile local population.
Today, the area of Bab Ftouh is also a local transport hub for buses and taxis, with the road east to Taza passing here.
Unlike many other medieval gates to the city, it does not have a bent entrance but provides a straight passage into the old city.
It opens through a large horseshoe or moorish arch, surrounded by a shallow rectangular frame (similar to Bab Mahrouk on the other side of the city), flanked by smaller arched openings on either side.
It is one of the largest and historically most prestigious cemeteries in Fes, housing the graves of many of Fes's famous and wealthy citizens, as well as a number of local Muslim saints and marabouts.
The eastern part is known as Sidi Harazem, after one of the most important local saints buried here: Sidi 'Ali ibn Harazem (or Harzihim), a 12th-century Sufi mystic who died in 1164-65.
Another cemetery, Bab al-Hamra Cemetery (named after the former city gate located there) also historically existed inside the city walls, to the west of the Bab Ftouh gate.

Search for the Titanic is a graphic adventure video game developed by Codesmiths and Intracorp and published by its subsidiary Capstone Software in 1989.
Versions for the Apple II and Amiga were planned, but never reached development (or just cancelled and not completed in the case of the announced Apple II port).
If that works out, the player needs the right equipment, adequate supplies, an ideal vessel and competent personnel on a limited budget.
He turned his attention to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, whom his brother Kenneth had worked with previously and were conveniently located near enough for him to contact on a daily basis.
Woods Hole were keen on the idea of a video game based on their exploits and Intracorp got the required rights.
At the request of Robert Ballard, Intracorp changed it so that no treasure collecting occurred in the gameplay, in order to set a good example for players and future oceanographers.
Ballard's photos were no good for digitizing in their current format, so Codesmiths had the slides converted to contact prints (placed on one sheet of light-sensitive paper) at a photographic lab.
Then the page of contact prints were placed inside a scanner with a special digitzing program to input them on a computer.

Responsorial psalmody primarily refers to the placement and use of the Psalm within the readings at a Christian service of the Eucharist.
The New Catholic Encyclopedia points out that not only the psalm but also the gradual and alleluia were also originally 'responsorial' chants.
An antiphon or verse was sung by all followed by extended verses of the psalm for the day with an intervening antiphon every so often.
Originally the deacon was the singer of this psalm and versicle; over time the role moved to the subdeacon then to the choir.
The singer did not go all the way to the top of the platform but rather stood on a lower step.
More usually, the term refers to an antiphonal manner of reciting the psalm, with a choir or cantor and to which the congregation interject a periodic 'response'.
It can be sung only at the beginning and end of the psalm, allowing a focus for the uninterrupted palm text.
Or it can be sung repetitively through the psalm, after every few verses or where the natural breaks in the psalm text occur.
Eucharistic liturgies consider it normative that the responsorial psalm be sung for three reasons: the genre of the psalms as lyrical compositions; the psalm is a response to the spoken word structure does not customarily respond to speech with more speech; this is the only time in the liturgy when a psalm is used for its own sake and not to accompany a ritual action.
The psalm is often sung at the ambo or lectern, because it is, at heart, one or the readings of the Word of God.

At the beginning of the Seventies, at the American Center (Paris), she became an instant sensation when creating from scratch an unprecedented class of African dance expression where, barefoot, she was supported by some of the world best drummers coming from various horizons.
Born among nine siblings and growing up in a two bedrooms flat rooted in a no man’s land on the outskirt of Paris (the Gennevilliers suburb), straight away her life started under a sign of chaos and movement.
As a 3 year old, she began classical dancing classes, which she later viewed as an act of faith but also an act of permanent fight.
Despite her young age, the dancing industry wanted her to be upgraded to enter l’École des Professeurs de Danse d’Irène Popard two years earlier.
But she chose to keep on studying at college and later on registered at l’École Supérieure d’Études Chorégraphiques (in Paris) where she studied modern dance, rhythmic dance and jazz dance.
After that she went to university to do a course in psycho-motricity at Paris V-René Descartes while working with handicapped children of Gennevilliers.
In May 1968, as a 20 years old, when the factory workers locked themselves in their factories of the ceinture rouge, escorted by her group of delinquents, she managed to get the doors unlocked so she could perform a live dance show.
Born again in dancing she now was able to not only express her emotions but also to exorcise her personal demons.
Talking about it, the dancing experts say that her class looked very much like African dance but Jeanine Claes did not know it as she never set foot in Africa.
Ré-mastered in 1996 for the French TV show Ça se discute, this jingle showed Guem to the mainstream public except that the drummer forgot to mention that this song was first written with and for Jeanine Claes’s dancing.
Escaping the dictates of the President Sékou Touré en Guinée-Conakry, les Grands ballets d’Afrique Noire lived nearly on the streets in the quartier latin, in Paris.
When its members discovered Jeanine Claes, they could not believe it - she danced like the girls of their own villages.
Freedom of spirit and freedom of expression, she managed to have them working at the American Center, using all the musicians in her troupe and taking as assistant the poet Tidjani Cissé, who later became, in 2010, the Arts Minister in Guinée- Conakry.
Summer 1978, after breaking up with Guem, in July she took two weeks off in the South of Spain but a terrible car accident cut it short.
Repatriated in emergency by plane at l’hôpital Cochin, in Paris, the surgeon’s diagnosis was brutal : dislocation fracture C4 - C5 (between the 4th and 5th cervical vertebrae).
But instead of performing a normal ‘welding’ procedure, the surgeon decided to set up a dispositif in titanium, hoping that she could walk again one day.
She stayed lying down in her hospital bed, her neck in a cast, for about three months before returning to her flat in a wheelchair.
A few weeks later she ‘sacked’ her physiotherapist team arguing that she could rehabilitate herself through basic dancing exercises which in the past helped her to naturally sculpt her body.
One day, in front of her students and drummers, she removed the neck brace and threw it violently on the dance floor.
She was back, back to her best ; surprised with her amazing recovery, the surgeon came to her class with a video team to film.
First to the Casamance region, following the advice of her Africains musicians because on stage, the sight of ex-partner Guem unsettled her.
The experts could only agree that, with Carolyn Carlson, she was the only dancer where it was possible to see a special difference, an aura, an illuminated light.
Close to make a fortune with Aerobics, developed in 1968 by the Dr Kenneth H.Cooper, the American actress and businesswoman offered a golden bridge to Jeanine to cross the Atlantic to live in California where her dancing method could be then commercialized.
But, as with Mick Jagger, Jeanine declined Fonda, with the resounding rejection where she deplored that in Aerobics classes the participants are disconnected with their spiritual life - they are like little machines, robots with muscles but no feeling.
She ended up in Sydney, at the Bondi Pavilion, where facing the Pacific Ocean she taught until 2001 before eventually passing away in Tasmania.
Jeanine Claes had the reputation to break down the steps for her students, and her priority was always to allow any of them, whatever its age or level, to start dancing straight away.
At the American Center, some students registered under their general practician’s recommendations as the French medical Authorities were convinced about the benefits of Jeanine Claes’s Rhythm and Dance for the equilibrium of their patients.
In her African Dance expression classes, it was all about the rotation of the pelvis but to manage it the students needed first to free their head.
If a reconciliation between their body and their mind can then take place, they will also free themselves sexually in the process.
Placed under the sign of improvisation it’s very rare that the next show looks like the previous despite being named the same, being connected each time with the stage space, the number of drummers, the dialogue existing then between dancers and musicians.
The album was recorded in few days at the Studio 142, Rue Réaumur (Paris IIe), with two drummers, the backbone of her classes at the American Centre : the Senegalese Aziz N’Diaye et the French-west Indies born Philippe Lincy who later started his own group Doudoumba.
She left a well-paid commercial job in 1912 to become secretary to the American delegation of the Gaelic League in New York.

After the Easter 1916 Rising, she became a member of Cumann na mBan in the US, raising money for the widows and children of those killed or wounded during the Rising.
She worked closely with him during this tour, travelling with him, assisting with speeches and dealing with his private and public correspondence.
From February 1921 she lived at his secret headquarters at Strand Road, living in dangerous condition until a truce was called in the Irish War of Independence.
O'Connell was a member of the delegation that met Lloyd George in July 1921, and shared de Valera's opposition to the treaty.
She joined de Valera and her sister Teresa in Suffolk Street in June 1922 when the Irish Civil War broke out.
She was a loyal follower of de Valera throughout the civil war, and was present at his arrest in Ennis in August 1923.
She acted as his messenger and agent during his imprisonment, working with him on an Irish translation of shorthand which they later abandoned.
There were rumours regarding the nature of their relationship, leading to de Valera vehemently denying any impropriety in Dáil Éireann in 1928.
The letter between O'Connell and de Valera's wife, Sinéad, are cited as evidence there was no intimate relationship between O'Connell and de Valera.
She resigned from her permanent civil service position of personal secretary to the Taoiseach when de Valera was defeated in 1948, returning in 1951 when he regained power.

John Lawrence Gane (1837-1895) was a British Liberal Party politician who served as the Member of Parliament for Leeds East from 1886 to 1895.
He was the son of William Thornton of Yorkshire, Member of Parliament for , 1747–54 and 1758–61; his mother Mary was the daughter of John Myster of Epsom.
Thornton visited France before the French Revolution, and, with his supposed wife Alicia Thornton, revisited it in 1802, during the Peace of Amiens.
He intended the purchase of a French estate; but difficulties of naturalisation and the renewal of the Napoleonic Wars frustrated the project.
In 1805 Thornton disposed of Thornville Royal to Charles Stourton, 17th Baron Stourton, and apparently resided in London for a time.
In September 1814, with a party of sportsmen and a pack of hounds, Thornton landed in France, and at Rouen attracted a crowd of spectators.
He returned to London in March 1815 at the period of the Hundred Days, but after the battle of Waterloo he went back, hired the Château de Chambord, and purchased an estate at Pont-sur-Seine: he styled himself Prince de Chambord and Marquis de Pont.
She was the jockey, riding side-saddle, in two challenges of 1804–5, on which Thornton placed large bets, and which made him notorious.
For the following year's York meeting Alicia rode against Frank Buckle, and won; but Thornton was horsewhipped by Flint, after refusing to honour the bet of 1000 guineas he had made on the 1804 race.
Thornton married at Lambeth, in 1806, Eliza Cawston of Mundon, Essex, by whom he had a son, William Thomas, born in London in 1807.
By a will executed in London in 1818 he bequeathed almost all his property to Thornvillia Diana Thornton, his illegitimate daughter, then aged 17, by Priscilla Duins.
The will was disputed by his widow on behalf of her son, and both the prerogative court and French tribunals pronounced against its validity.
Fritz Kühn (29 April 1910 - 31 July 1967) was an East German visual artist whose output included sculpture, metal-artwork and photography.
(1883 - 1944), his father, was a metal worker and blacksmith who in 1925 founded and then over the years built up the specialist metals manufacturing firm known, initially, as .
In 1927, while still working through his apprenticeship, and two years after his parents had set up a business together in Berlin-Weissensee, Fritz Kühn met Karl Schmidt who became something of a mentor, encouraging him in his wish to go into business independently.
In 1937 Kühn passed his , qualifying as a and opened his own studio on a converted estate in Berlin-Bohnsdorf (at that time part of Berlin-Altglienicke in the south-east of the city).
1937 was also the year in which he married Gertrud Moldenhauer (1911-1957), a clerical worker who subsequently played an important role organising the publication of his books and managing other business related aspects of his career.
War ended in May 1945: over time Kühn was able to reconstruct, and later to extend, his studio-workshop, helped by journeyman labourers who had helped him before the war who were slowly returning from the front line or the prison camps.
Once his space was again usable, he focused on contributing to recreating some of Berlin's important buildings, providing new railings for the extensive rebuilding of Berlin's eighteenth century Arsenal building.
The slaughter of war had left Germany desperately short of skilled workers which, in the case of the Soviet zone, was exacerbated by massive emigration to the American, British and French zones.
In his rebuilt and enlarged studio-workshop Kühn contributed to the search for a solution by employing and training significant numbers of apprentices.
There is no record that he ever joined the party, but there can be little doubt that he was nevertheless in good standing with the East German political establishment.
It was also in 1954 that Kühn was a recipient of the National Prize (3rd class) in recognition of his creative artistic contribution to the post-war architecture of Berlin and other cities.
Even after the sudden appearance of the Berlin Wall in 1961, Kühn was seen as a member of the artistic establishment, winning commissions from state authorities and respected for his inventive artistry in his unusual artistic niche, on both sides of the so-called iron curtain, despite the increasing semblance of permanence in the physical and political divisions between East and West Germany.
His iron-based artworks featured, not just in the German Democratic Republic but also in places such as Hannover, Dortmund, Saarbrücken and Düsseldorf.
Further afield, he also contributed to the war memorial at Coventry and the vast Futa Pass Cemetery in the Apennines between Bologna and Florence.
It was also in 1958 that back in Berlin he succeeded in obtaining the necessary agreements to buy his studio-workshop and the adjacent former paddock.
Despite the church-state tensions that were a feature of life in the German Democratic Republic, Fritz Kühn was a leading producer of church art.
One of his Christian pieces was a three meter tall dome-cross for the rebuilding of St. Hedwig's Cathedral, along with a transparent parapet of bronze and crystal glass around the central floor opening of the interior.
One of the most remarkable, given the enduring cold war spirit of the times, was a retrospective exhibition staged in his honour in 1969 at the Louvre Palace in Paris.
Following reunification the new government confirmed the designation of Kühn's work as a national cultural asset, but as far as the museum project was concerned, with Berlin city politics now dominated by parties from the west, everything changed.
During the East German years Fritz Kühn was an officially eulogised celebrity, and there was no obvious sense of urgency in creating a museum celebrating his life and work.
Since 1989 and reunification, official positions have become more ambivalent, and the museum project remains unrealised: as the family's enthusiasm for it has resonated more strongly, the project has been increasingly hampered by lack of funds and opposition from local government.
In January 2020, a British woman received a suspended sentence after being convicted in a Cyprus court for falsely claiming that she had been raped by twelve Israeli men in 2019.
In mid July 2019, a 19-year-old female British tourist alleged that she had been gang raped by 12 Israeli teenagers while holidaying at the Ayia Napa tourist resort in Cyprus.
Following an investigation by Cyprus Police, in late July, the British teenager retracted her statement and the Israeli teenagers were released without charge.
During the 2019 summer break, the 19-year old British teenager had travelled to Pambos Napa Rocks resort in the Cypriot resort town of Ayia Napa on a working holiday organised by the British tourism company Summer Takeaways.
In 17 July 2019, the British teenager filed a report with the Cyprus Police in Ayia Napa claiming that she had been raped by several Israeli youths in her hotel room.
On 25 July, five of the youths were released due to a lack of DNA evidence connecting them to the alleged incident.
On 27 July, the British teenager visited a police station to give a statement but was instead accused of lying about allegations.
The report I did on the 17th of July 2019 that I was raped at ayia napa was not the truth.
The reason I made the statement with the fake report is because I did not know they were recording & humiliating me that night I discovered them recording me doing sexual intercourse and I felt embarrassed as I want to appologise, and say I made a mistake.
Cypriot Police claimed that the woman had got angry when her alleged attackers had filmed her having consensual sex with some of the alleged attackers and alleged she had been raped.
Nir Yaslovitch, a lawyer representing several of the Israeli youths, said that his clients would seek legal damages against her for false rape allegations.
On 6 August 2019, the defendant repudiated her retraction statement, claiming that she had been coerced into producing it by the Cypriot Police.
The trial judge Tonia Antoniou adjourned the case until 19 August to give the woman time to find a new lawyer.
The defendant was supported by the legal aid group Justice Abroad, which supported her claims that she had been coerced into producing a retraction statement.
On 27 August, the defendant pleaded not guilty to falsely claiming she was gang-raped and was bailed by a court on condition that she visited a police station in Nicosia three times a week before her trial.
The defendant had reportedly spent a month at the Central Jail of Nicosia, where she had reportedly shared a cramped cell with nine women.
Michael Polak, the Director of Justice International and a member of the defence team, claimed that the defendant's interrogation violated the Constitution of Cyprus and European Union human rights legislation.
While the defence maintained that the woman had been raped and had been coerced into issuing a retraction, the prosecution insisted that the police had acted properly throughout the investigation.
Judge Michalis Papathanasiou adjourned the defendant's trial by two weeks to allow the defence to produce new evidence including text messages and images circulated by the alleged attackers to support their contention that she had been raped.
On 28 November, the trial judge Michalis Papathansidi rejected the defence's claim of a forced confession and defended the police investigators who had conducted investigation.
The judge also dismissed the defence witnesses as unreliable and rejected the testimony of expert witnesses from the UK, including a forensic linguistic expert's testimony that the woman's confession was unlikely to have been written by a native English speaker.
The trial proceeded with the testimony of police officers who had spoken to her on the night she had reported the alleged sexual assaults.
On 3 December 2019, the court heard the defendant's testimony, who maintained that she had been gang-raped by the Israeli youths and that she had been coerced by police into dropping the rape allegations.
On 12 December, the defendant was told that she would have to remain in Cyprus over Christmas, with the final judgment expected on 30 December.
On 30 December, the court found the defendant guilty of causing public mischief with her sentencing date set for 7 January 2019.
On 4 January 2020, the Famagusta District Court released their 70-page verdict defending their guilty verdict in response to criticism of the court's handling of the case from both Cyprus and abroad.
On 7 January, Judge Papathanasiou sentenced the young woman to a four month suspended sentence, with the defendant being allowed to leave Cyprus.
In response, the defence announced that they would be appealing the conviction at the Supreme Court of Cyprus, a process expected to take several years.
Following their release in late July, several of the Israeli teenagers were greeted by their cheering families at Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv.
On 9 August 2019, the British teenager's parents established a GoFundMe campaign to raise ₤15,000 (US$18,000) to cover their daughter's legal fees following the resignation of her first lawyer Andreas Pittadjis.
Aryeh Fraser, an Israeli man living in Miami, had donated £7,500 (US$9,000) to the GoFundMe campaign, describing it as a humanitarian donation.
In October 2019, Michael Polak, the director of the legal aid organisation Justice Abroad and a member of the defence team, criticised the Cypriot Police's handling of the investigation into the rape allegations including allegedly coercing a retraction from the defendant without a lawyer present and not making any audio or video recordings of the defendant's interrogation.
He also criticised the Cypriot Police for failing to download data from the alleged Israeli attackers' 11 mobile phones; the Police had downloaded videos from five of the Israeli youths' phones but had neglected to collect text messages and social media data.
On 14 October, several human rights and feminist groups urged the Cypriot attorney general Costas Clerides to dismiss the case against the British teenager.
Susana Pavlou, the Director of the Mediterranean Institute for Gender Studies, criticized the brutal ordeal experienced by the British teenager and her family.
Several Cypriot and Israeli feminists and women's rights activists also picketed the sentencing of the defendant on 7 January 2020, criticizing Judge Papathanasiou for victim blaming and siding with the alleged rapists.
The British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab also stated that the UK Government was examining guidelines for British tourists to Cyprus in light of the rape allegation case.
In early January 2020, there were media reports that the President of Cyprus Nicos Anastasiades was considering pardoning the British teenager prior to her sentencing on 7 January.
On 1 January, the British teenager's mother expressed support for a boycott campaign against Cyprus, stating that the country was unsafe for tourists and condemning her daughter's guilty verdict as a miscarriage if justice.
In addition, solidarity protests with the teenager were also planned in Nicosia and Tel Aviv to time with the teenager's sentencing.
On 3 January 2020, Summer Takeaways, the tour company behind the working holiday in which the British defendant had been allegedly gang raped, announced that the company would no longer provide services to Ayia Napa.
The company removed all references to Ayia Napa on its website and offered refunds to customers who had booked for the upcoming 2020 summer tour to the destination.

Sadr al-Shari'a al-Asghar (), also known as Sadr al-Shari'a al-Thani (), was a Hanafi-Maturidi scholar, fakih (jurist), mutakallim (theologian), mufassir (Qur'anic exegete), muhaddis (expert of the Hadith), nahawi (grammarian), laghawi (linguist), logician, and astronomer, known for both his theories of time and place and his commentary on Islamic jurisprudence, indicating the depth of his knowledge in various Islamic disciplines.
His al-Tanqih (), along with his own commentary upon it entitled al-Tawdih (), is a work of usul al-fiqh that merges between 'the way of the jurists' (i.e.
the Hanafis) and between 'the way of the scholastics', combining and reorganising the works of the Hanafi Fakhr al-Islam al-Bazdawi and the Maliki Ibn al-Hajib into a new synthesis.
He authored a work (yet unpublished) known under the title Ta'dil al-'Ulum (), which became a milestone in the development of the Maturidi kalam in Khorasan and Ma Wara' al-Nahr (Transoxania).
His Ta'dil al-'Ulum was recommended by the sixteenth-century Ottoman scholar and judge Ahmed Taşköprüzade (d. 1561) to anyone desirous of reaching the highest degree of excellence in logic.
In that context, he undertook to correct the works of two of his predecessors, namely Nasir al-Din al-Tusi and Qutb al-Din al-Shirazi.
Sadr took it upon himself to solve the problems they did not tackle, and to supply answers to the subtleties they did not address.
This work of Sadr is written in the traditional form of a commentary, where he gives his own text and then comments on the same.
As is usual in such commentaries, the text is separated from the comments by the classical notation: a sentence preceded by the Arabic mim (short for matn) refers to the text, whereas the latter shin (for sharh) introduces the comment to that specific text.
The outbreak of World War I is a chance for Bulgaria to fulfill its national ideal, wasted by the Treaty of Bucharest (1913).
This choice in this case is predetermined by two factors - Serbia's relentlessness to cede to Bulgaria at least Vardar Macedonia (in view of its difficult military situation) and the vague and uncertain promises and, above all, the guarantees of the Triple Entente to Bulgarian aspirations.
As a result of the successful Serbian campaign of World War I, the territory of the country is divided between Bulgaria and Austro-Hungary, but even this partition is extremely disadvantageous for Bulgaria, since Austro-Hungary has conquered historically and ethnically Bulgarian lands.
The ultimate demarcation of the border remains after the end of the war, although the Bulgarian itchy population also lives west of the Velika Morava River, including up to Lake Shkodra.
The goals of Austro-Hungary against Serbia and its population are purely conquering with preventive ones - an inability to form a strong South Slavic core that threatens the integrity of the empire.
Moreover, the aspiration of Austro-Hungary to absorb Albania, which in the Middle Ages was part of Bulgaria (Prince Kiril, Prince of Preslav is the candidate for King of Albania, see also Albania under the Bulgarian Empire), finally poisoned bilateral (allied) relations and ultimately led to that breakthrough the Entente and in particular France needed to win the First World War - the Armistice of Salonica.
Germany, on the other hand, has also been discredited in the eyes of the Bulgarian military by refusing to allow a Bulgarian offensive in Aegean Macedonia against the Allied Army of the Orient in Thessaloniki, hoping King Constantine I of Greece /married to Wilhelm II's sister/ to keep Greece neutral.
In the Europe/Africa Zone there are two different tiers, called groups, in which teams compete against each other to advance to the upper tier.

Matīss Edmunds Kivlenieks (born 26 August 1996) is a Latvian professional ice hockey goaltender currently playing for the Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League (NHL).
They decided not to keep him, and he went to the Prizma U18 team, where he played as a third-in-line goaltender playing only 12 games, but had a 2.6 GAA.
With NHL ambitions, Kivlenieks opted to leave Latvia and continue his development in the North American junior leagues, initally joining the Edina Lakers in the Minnesota Junior Hockey League.
At the end of the season with the Coulee Region Chill, despite going undrafted, Kivlenieks signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets worth $2,497,500.
During the 2019–20 season, Kivlenieks was recalled on multiple occasions to the Blue Jackets before starting in his NHL debut, earning his first NHL win in a 2–1 victory against the New York Rangers on 19 January 2020.
The 26th Guards Rifle Division was reformed as an elite infantry division of the Red Army in April, 1942, based on the 1st formation of the 93rd Rifle Division, and served in that role until after the end of the Great Patriotic War.
It was soon assigned, with its Corps, to 20th Army of Western Front and saw extensive fighting, while also suffering extensive casualties, in two campaigns against the German 9th Army in the Rzhev salient through the rest of 1942.
The division, again with 8th Guards Corps, joined the 11th Guards Army when it was formed in April, 1943 and, apart from a brief reassignment in early 1944, remained under those commands for the duration of the war.
By December, after fighting through western Russia north of Smolensk it was in 1st Baltic Front, attacking south towards Gorodok and won the name of that city as a battle honor.
By the start of the offensive against Army Group Center in the summer of 1944 the 26th Guards had been redeployed with its Army to the south of Vitebsk as part of 3rd Belorussian Front, where it would remain for the duration.
Driving westward during Operation Bagration the division advanced north of Orsha and then helped to seize a crossing over the Berezina River for which it was awarded the Order of the Red Banner.
As part of the East Prussian Offensive the 26th Guards entered that heavily-fortified region in the winter of 1945 and helped gradually break the German resistance there, particularly at Insterburg and Königsberg, winning the Order of Suvorov for its part in the battle for the former place.
The 26th Guards remained in the Kaliningrad Oblast well after the war, becoming the 26th Guards Motorized Rifle Division in 1957 and not finally disbanded until 1989.
The division was officially raised to Guards status on April 20, 1942 in recognition of its leading role in driving in the south flank of German 4th Army during the counteroffensive in front of Moscow and the liberation of Maloyaroslavets and Yukhnov.
As the 93rd the division had the standard prewar howitzer regiment (the 128th) in addition to the light artillery regiment, but this had been removed earlier in the month to become a separate army-level support unit.
Col. Nikolai Nikolaevich Korzhenevskii remained in command of the division after redesignation; he would be promoted to the rank of major general on November 27.
In May it was withdrawn to the reserves of Western Front, providing the command cadre for the new 8th Guards Rifle Corps; as with all Guards rifle corps in this period it consisted of one Guards division with a number of rifle brigades, in this case the 129th, 140th, 150th and the 153rd.
This was intended primarily as a means to draw German reserves from their developing offensive in the south, but as it developed Zhukov's plan anticipated advances towards Rzhev, Sychyovka and Gzhatsk.
In its final form the operation was to include the 29th and 30th Armies of Kalinin Front to the north and the 31st and 20th Armies of Western Front to the south.
Kalinin Front began its offensive on July 30, but on the same day heavy rains began which flooded the countryside and turned the roads into quagmires which bogged down the 30th Army's advance while the 29th failed to penetrate the German front at all.
After waiting for the weather to abate Western Front attacked on August 4 following a powerful artillery preparation which destroyed or suppressed roughly 80 percent of the German forces' weapons.
8th Guards Corps, in the first echelon of 20th Army, breached the defenses south of Pogoreloe Gorodishche allowing the Army's mobile group, the 2nd Guards Cavalry Corps, to begin to exploit in the direction of Sychyovka.
31st Army was similarly successful to the north and by the end of August 6 the gap in the German front was up to 30km wide and Soviet troops had penetrated to a depth of 25km, closing on the Gzhat and Vazuza rivers.
20th Army intended to liberate Sychyovka on August 7 but by now the German High Command was reacting with alarm and the offensive began drawing German reserves.
8th Guards Corps ran into elements of the 1st Panzer Division as it continued to advance and on August 9 and 10 the roughly 800 tanks under Western Front met counterattacks by about 700 panzers; the Soviet armor lacked adequate signals equipment and command facilities which limited its effectiveness.
As an example the 11th Tank Brigade lost contact with its headquarters and wandered into the sector of 8th Guards Corps against orders.
On August 23 the Corps, in cooperation with elements of 5th Army, broke through the German grouping at Karmanovo and liberated that town.
Although this date is given as the official end of the offensive in Soviet histories, in fact 20th Army persisted in efforts to penetrate the German front and attack Gzhatsk from the west before going over to the defense on September 8.
In total during the period from August 4 to September 10 the 20th Army suffered a total of 60,453 personnel killed, wounded and missing-in-action.
In the buildup to the new Soviet offensive around the Rzhev salient in the autumn the 26th Guards, with its Corps, was alerted by Western Front Directive No.
At this time the 8th Guards Corps consisted of the 26th Guards plus the 148th and 150th Rifle Brigades, and was in the Army's second echelon along with a cavalry/mechanized group consisting of the 6th Tank Corps and the 2nd Guards Cavalry Corps.
In the first echelon the Army had five divisions, including the 247th and 331st on the front line along the Vazuza about 20km northeast of Sychyovka.
The German XXXIX Panzer Corps was holding the sector with the 14th Infantry Regiment of the 78th Infantry Division backed by the two panzergrenadier regiments of 5th Panzer Division.
In the operational plan the two rifle divisions were to make a headlong advance over the mostly-frozen river following a massive artillery preparation and punch through the forward German defenses.
8th Guards Corps was to follow the advancing first echelon by the end of the first day, mop up bypassed German resistance, expand the south flank of the penetration towards Sychyovka and follow and support the exploiting mobile group.
Despite failures along the rest of 20th Army's front, the 247th Division, supported by 80th Tank Brigade, reached the far side of the Vazuza early in the assault and by noon had seized two fortified villages.At the same time the 331st also forced the river and captured the village of Prudy but was abruptly halted by heavy German fire from the town of Khlepen to the south.
Although the 247th continued to advance in the afternoon to a depth of nearly 2km, and the 331st also expanded the bridgehead, there wasn't enough space to deploy the 8th Guards Corps effectively.
I. S. Konev, the Western Front commander, chose to commit the 6th Tank Corps early the next day, assuming an additional armored blow would complete the breakthrough of the German front.
Anticipating this breakthrough and realizing the need for infantry to consolidate the tanks' gains the 8th Guards Corps was ordered to advance over the river in tandem with and just to the south of the tank corps.
The problem with this revised plan was that there were just two fragile roads running from the rear to the Vazuza which were not adequate to move such a mass of men and vehicles.
By mid-afternoon the 148th and 150th Rifle Brigades were in action against hard-pressed elements of the 78th Infantry and 5th Panzer Divisions between Zherebtsovo and Khlepen while the XXXIX Corps anxiously awaited the arrival of the 9th Panzer Division.
On November 27 the two rifle brigades reinforced their positions but their repeated attacks on the two strongpoints they faced made little headway.
Late in the evening the division moved up and relieved the 3rd Guards and 20th Cavalry Divisions which had become exhausted in their struggle for the villages of Arestovo and Podosinovka.
By this point in the battle the 6th Tank Corps had broken through the German front and cut the road from Sychyovka to Rzhev, but was nearly isolated and in need of support, which would come from the 2nd Guards Cavalry.
Overnight the 26th Guards struck the position at Podosinovka with the goal of both providing passage for the cavalry and to carry on its own advance.
While this attack diverted enough German firepower to allow the cavalry to break through with some losses, the village remained in German hands and the division suffered heavy casualties.
By dawn on the 28th tanks of the 9th Panzer began to arrive but were forced over to the defense as the division renewed its attacks on Podosinovka backed by armor and cavalry.
During fierce and confused fighting XXXIX Corps reported at 1000 hours that the village had fallen, but this turned out to be false.
By the morning of November 29 the 8th Guards Corps had been reinforced with the 354th Rifle Division, which took up positions between the 148th and 150th Brigades.
The Corps, which now manned the entire south flank of the bridgehead, was ordered to attack from Zherebtsovo to Khlepen in another attempt to get the offensive moving, but lost many men in futile attacks.
At the end of the day 20th Army received orders to intensify its attacks against the same objectives the next day.
By this time the 8th Guards Corps was no longer combat effective; it had lost 6,068 men in just five days of fighting, most from the 26th Guards.
General Zhukov was still desperate to renew the offensive and on December 4 he sacked Maj. Gen. N. I. Kiriukhin, commander of 20th Army, replacing him with Lt. Gen. M. S. Khozin.
At about this time the 148th and 150th Brigades were pulled from the bridgehead for replenishment and the 415th Rifle Division took up positions near Podosinovka and the 26th Guards shifted to the Zherebtsovo sector.
By December 11 the two brigades returned while the division had been removed from the front lines, thus avoiding the last spasm of fighting before Zhukov finally acknowledged his forces were spent on December 15.
Altogether from November 25 until December 18 the 8th Guards Corps, not including the 354th Division, lost 2,311 men killed, 7,434 wounded and 360 missing-in-action, for a total of 10,105 casualties.
The 26th Guards remained in 8th Guards Corps and in 20th Army into February, 1943 when it was moved to the reserves of Western Front for much-needed rest and rebuilding.
In March it was assigned to the 49th Army and saw some service in the Rzhev-Vyazma Offensive as the German 9th Army was withdrawing from the Rzhev salient.
Prior to the Soviet summer offensive the 16th Army was re-designated as the 11th Guards Army and the division would serve under that command for the duration.
Before the German offensive at Kursk had ended the Bryansk and Western Fronts began an offensive against the northeastern flank of the German-held salient around Oryol on July 12.
Ideally the right flank of Army Group Center would be destabilized and in retreat after evacuating the Oryol salient, but in the event it consolidated along the Hagen line at its base.
On July 30 the 11th Guards Army was transferred to Bryansk Front and advanced towards the Front's namesake city through August and September.
When the Front was disbanded on October 10 the Army accompanied its headquarters northwest to the area east of Velikiye Luki.
The headquarters was used to establish Baltic Front (2nd Baltic Front as of October 20) and the Army remained under its command.
Given the complex situation in the Nevel region, where the 3rd and 4th Shock Armies had carved out a large salient behind the lines of German 16th Army (Army Group North) and 3rd Panzer Army (Army Group Center), Col. Gen. Bagramyan, who now commanded the Front, planned an attack along the Gorodok - Vitebsk axis with 11th Guards Army.
Five divisions were concentrated on an 8km-wide sector with 8th Guards Corps (5th, 26th, 83rd Guards and 29th Rifle Divisions) in second echelon.
8th Guards Corps attacked the northern tip of the German-held Ezerishche salient north of Vitebsk, on both sides of Lake Ezerishche, with the 26th Guards in second echelon.
The initial objective was to cut off the northwestern portion of the salient in cooperation with 4th Shock Army and destroy the German grouping southwest of the lake.
After an overnight regrouping the 83rd Guards Division broke through on this sector on the following morning with the help of the 159th Tank Brigade and another artillery preparation.
Early on December 15, despite counterattacks by the 20th Panzer Division, forward elements of the two Soviet armies had linked up, completely encircling the 87th Infantry Division and part of the 129th.
With this completed the 8th Guards Corps took part in reducing the German pocket in two days of heavy fighting; according to Soviet sources 20,000 German troops became casualties while German sources admit to just over 2,000.
General Bagramyan stated in his memoirs:Gorodok was cleared later that day, and the division was one of the four noted above that were awarded its name as an honorific:In his memoirs Galitskiy states that the slowness of the offensive was largely due to deteriorating strength of his forces.
This was based on a fortified line which was part of the external defense belt around Vitebsk, 25km from the center of the city and Galitskiy's forces spent several days assessing it; it became clear that the goal of liberating the city by December 30-31 in conjunction with 4th Shock was unrealistic.
From December 25-31 the Army gradually wedged its way into the German positions, with the 26th, 11th and 31st Guards Divisions making the greatest progress, but even this amounted to just 5-7km of ground gained.
The fighting continued into early January, 1944 but was beginning to tail off by January 5 as both sides exhausted themselves.
A last gasp effort began the next day when the 26th and 83rd Guards made a supporting attack in the sector north of Mashkina.
On January 9, while this fighting was continuing, General Korzhenevskii was killed when a German shell scored a direct hit on his divisional command post.
He was replaced the next day by Col. Grigorii Ivanovich Chernov, who was promoted to the rank of major general a week later.
General Galitskiy formed his shock group from the 8th and 36th Guards Corps backed by the 1st Tank Corps and facing the 87th Infantry Division plus battlegroups from 20th Panzer and the 201st Security Divisions from Mashkina southward past Lake Zaronovskoe to Gorbachi.
After an extensive artillery preparation the shock group quickly overcame the forward defenses of the 87th Infantry and in two days of fighting advanced up to 3.5km.
The 16th and 84th Guards Divisions reached the western outskirts of Kisliaki and captured the German strongpoint at Gorodishche on the north shore of Lake Zaronovskoe.
The German LIII Army Corps withdrew the battered 87th Infantry and replaced it with the far stronger Group Breidenbach from 20th Panzer.
By the end of February 3 the shock group had made enough progress that General Bagramyan released the 26th Guards from the Corps' second echelon, while 1st Tank Corps went into action the next morning.
The tanks attacked along the Kozly and Mikhali axis at dawn and in two days of heavy fighting with the help of their supporting riflemen managed to advance another 4km, taking Kozly and Novoselki before being halted by 20th Panzer.
By the end of February 5, although LIII Corps had lost considerable territory north of the Vitebsk-Sirotino road its defenses were firming up.
After a brief regrouping the attack began again on February 7 but 36th Corps made no notable progress before the offensive was halted on February 16.
By now 1st Tank Corps had fewer than 10 tanks serviceable, the rifle divisions of 11th Guards Army numbered fewer than 3,000 personnel each due to nearly constant combat since mid-fall, and they had used up most of their ammunition.
The next day Bagramyan was ordered to withdraw the Army for rest and refitting with the intention to commit it against Army Group North which was falling back from Leningrad.
In the event, after a period in the Reserve of the Supreme High Command it was reassigned to 3rd Belorussian Front in May, and the division returned to 8th Guards Corps in the same period, where it would remain for the duration.
In the buildup to the summer offensive against Army Group Center the 11th Guards Army trained intensively in the forests in the Nevel region and received over 20,000 replacements, bringing the 26th Guards and the rest of its rifle divisions to an average of 7,200 personnel each.
Beginning on May 25 the Army moved up well behind the front of 3rd Belorussian, followed by a secret move of 300km on June 12-13 to a sector north of the Dniepr River 30km northeast of Orsha, replacing elements of 31st Army.
General Galitskiy screened most of his sector with the 16th Guards Corps while the 8th and 36th Corps concentrated on a narrow sector adjacent to 31st Army.
On June 22 the 8th Corps was crammed into less than 10km with 36th Corps and had two heavy tank regiments and two assault gun regiments attached.
It faced elements of the XXVII Army Corps of German 4th Army, primarily the 78th Assault Division (previously the 78th Infantry that the division had faced in Operation Mars).
General Galitskiy decided to launch his main attack along the highway to Minsk on a sector from Ostrov Yurev to Kirieva.
The immediate objective was to break through the German defense and pave the way for the 2nd Guards Tank Corps to seize the line of the Orshitsa River by the end of the first day.
8th Guards Corps, in the Army's center, would attack the sector from Osintroi to Slepin towards Zabezhnitsa, seize a line from outside Brokhovskie to Height 172.3 (2km west of Zabezhnitsa), and then develop its offensive towards Selekta.
Along with the other first-echelon divisions of its Front, the 26th Guards prepared a forward battalion to take part in a reconnaissance in force which was conducted through the afternoon and evening of June 22, supported by a 25-minute artillery preparation.
While the main purpose of this reconnaissance was to uncover the German fire system, seizing their forward defenses was a secondary goal.
While the battalions of 5th Army to the north had considerable success in this regard those of 11th Guards Army generally failed, including that of the division.
The 8th and 36th Guards Corps encountered fierce resistance from the 78th Assault Division and other German units and through the day only advanced 2km.
While 8th and 16th Guards Corps advanced as much as 14km during the day, 36th Corps had still not cleared a path for the commitment of 2nd Guards Tanks and soon became caught up in the fighting for Orsha.
Yuri Vasilevich Smirnov, a squad leader of the 1st Company of the 77th Guards Rifle Regiment, was severely wounded while riding a tank that was breaking through the German front north of Orsha and was taken prisoner.
Over the following hours he was tortured for information in the presence of Lt. Gen. Hans Traut, commander of 78th Assault Division, as Traut testified in his 1947 trial for war crimes.
The evidence of the crime was soon uncovered when Orsha was liberated and Smirnov's body was found crucified by German bayonets in a dugout.
On June 25 the Army focused its efforts on the sector of 16th Corps which threw the German forces back another 7-12km and was by now deeply outflanking Orsha from the north.
On June 26 the two leading Corps of 11th Guards attacked towards Borisov to prevent 4th Army from withdrawing across the Berezina River.
In the course of the day they advanced 20-25km to the west, supported by 2nd Guards Tanks, while destroying retiring German rearguards.
The Army's forward detachments covered another 50-65km and in conjunction with the 5th Guards Tank Army was deeply enveloping the left flank of German 4th Army, which was withdrawing to the west south of the Orsha-Borisov railroad.
220124, ordering 3rd Belorussian Front to force the Berezina from the march and then to attack rapidly towards Minsk, with its right wing on Molodechno.
11th Guards Army was to complete its crossings by noon on July 1 and then develop the offensive towards Logoisk and Radashkovichy.
At 0500 hours on June 29 the 11th Guards Army renewed its offensive towards the Berezina, behind 5th Guards Tank Army.
During the day the Army advanced 30km and by the end of the day its forward detachments were 22-28km east of the river.
By the end of the next day the entire 11th Guards had consolidated along a line from Lishitsy to Logoisk to Sarnatsk to Smolevichi.
On July 10 the 26th Guards would be decorated with the Order of the Red Banner for its role in the fighting for Borisov and the Berezina.
This line was cracked by a deliberate attack beginning at midday on July 7 by the 8th Guards and the 3rd Guards Tank Corps despite stubborn resistance from elements of the 5th and 7th Panzer Divisions.
On July 8 the leading units of 11th Guards Army advanced another 25-30km and by now were approaching Vilnius, which held a garrison of about 15,000 men.
While the battle for this city went on until the 13th forward detachments of 5th Guards Tank reached the Neman River, followed by the left flank and center forces of the Front.
By the end of July 15 the Army, in cooperation with 5th Army, had seized a bridgehead 28km long and 2-6km deep, while it also was maintaining a second bridgehead up to 6km deep.
These continued to expand in fighting through to the 20th while repelling German counterattacks, at which point the Front went over to a temporary defense.
By now the 26th Guards had only one or two companies in each rifle battalion, each company averaged 25-30 men, and none more than 60; in addition the 57th Guards Artillery was lagging behind.
In the battle for the Neman the division accounted for 400 German officers and soldiers killed and 600 taken prisoner, along with 37 tanks, 56 guns and 224 machine guns destroyed or taken as trophies.
On October 16 the division, along with the rest of 11th Guards, began attacking into East Prussia as part of the Front's abortive Goldap-Gumbinnen Operation, which ended in early November.
In the planning for the Vistula-Oder Offensive the Army began in the second echelon of 3rd Belorussian Front, on a sector from Kybartai to Kaukern on the right and Millunen to Georgenburg on the left.
I. D. Chernyakhovsky, decided to use his 11th Guards, 5th and 28th Armies to encircle and eliminate the German Insterburg - Gumbinnen group of forces, with the objective of pursuing and advancing directly on Königsberg.
In order to block the Soviet advance on Insterburg the German command organized a defense along a line from Lindenburg to Zaken to Insterburg, using remnants of three infantry divisions and other assorted troops.
Meanwhile, to the right, the 8th Guards Corps attacked along the paved road from Gross Skeisgirren to Welau with the 26th Guards and 1st Tank Corps leading the pursuit towards the Pregel River.
Altogether the 11th Guards Army advanced 45km in two days, reaching the approaches to Insterburg while the 26th Guards and 1st Tanks deeply outflanked the German Insterburg - Gumbinnen grouping from the west.
Chernyakhovsky now ordered the 11th Guards and 5th Armies to break through the German defensive line with a concentric attack from north, east and south.
General Galitskiy decided to attack Insterburg at night with his 36th Guards Corps while the 16th and 8th Guards Corps developed the offensive, the latter towards Tapiau.
On February 19 the division would be recognized for its part in the battle for Insterburg with the award of the Order of Suvorov, 2nd Degree.
8th Guards Corps advanced in the wake of 1st Tank Corps, which broke through into Tapiau from the northeast and by 2000 hours on January 22 reached the Deime River in the Friedrichsthal area.
8th Guards Corps outflanked Wehlau from the northeast with its 5th Guards Division and began fighting on the town's outskirts; the town was secured the next day.
The Army was now ordered to attack from the line of the Alle River along the south bank of the Pregel and reach a line from Steinbeck to Grunbaum by the end of January 24.
On the morning of January 30 forward detachments of the 26th Guards broke through the German defenses and reached the shore of the Frisches Haff, isolating Königsberg from the rest of Germany.
On February 9 the 11th Guards along with the 43rd and 39th Armies, all operating close to Königsberg, were transferred to 1st Baltic Front while 3rd Belorussian focused on eliminating the large group of German forces in the western regions of East Prussia.
As of February 24 the 1st Baltic was redesignated as the Zemland Group of Forces with the three armies and 3rd Air Army under command, now back as part of 3rd Belorussian Front.
Its left flank was able to advance 2-3km and the attack continued into the night and the following day through dense fog.
When the assault on Königsberg began on April 6 the 11th Guards was responsible for the attack from the south, with 8th Guards Corps on the right (east) flank.
For the attack the Army was reinforced with the 23rd Tank Brigade, three self-propelled artillery regiments, a Guards heavy tank regiment, the 10th Artillery Division and many other artillery units.
36th and 16th Guards Corps on the left and center made the most progress, penetrating 4km into the German defenses, blockading two forts, clearing 43 city blocks and beginning fighting for the railway station.
On the afternoon of April 8 it forced the Pregel to the northwest of Ponart and linked up with 43rd Army, cutting off the fortress from the forces of the German Samland Group and also capturing the port area.
In the Samland offensive that followed beginning on April 13 the 11th Guards Army was initially in the Zemland Group's second echelon.
It was committed into the first line overnight on April 17/18, relieving 2nd Guards Army on the Vistula Spit, facing the heavily fortified town of Pillau.
After reconnaissance over the next two days the 16th and 36th Guards Corps attacked at 1100 hours on April 20 but made little progress, which did not change the following day.
On May 28, in recognition for their parts in the battle for Königsberg, the 75th and 77th Guards Rifle Regiments each received the Order of Suvorov, 3rd Degree, while the 57th Guards Artillery Regiment was decorated with the Order of Kutuzov, 3rd Degree.
The division remained in the Kaliningrad Oblast until it was converted in 1957 to the 26th Guards Motorized Rifle Division, at which time it was under the command of Hero of the Soviet Union Maj. Gen. Ivan Moiseevich Tretyak.

It' is not a literary genre of its own, but it is a part of quite extensive works that describe, for example, the history of the respective people.
At the center of the story is the origin myth of the respective group of people (such as the Goths, Lombards, Anglo-Saxons or Franks ).
It was usually handed down orally at the beginning and was recorded later and enriched with some elements from ancient scholars.
Although there is sometimes a historical core (such as the Anglo-Saxon migration to Britain), others seem to contain mostly fictional stories.
It was a central event of the gens' history, such as a significant victory, the crossing of a body of water, a kingdom of divine origin that is said to have existed since primeval times, and others.
In this way, these poly-ethnic associations were linked into an ideal unity through the history of origin; this played an important role in the complex process of Late Antique and Early Medieval ethnogenesis.
According to the church historian Beda Venerabilis, the Saxons were called to Britain by King Vortigern and landed there with three ships under the command of brothers Hengist and Horsa.

V Sagittae or V Sge is a cataclysmic variable binary star system in the constellation Sagitta that is expected to go nova and briefly become the most luminous point of light in the Milky Way and the brightest stars in our sky around the year 2083.
The system is composed of a main sequence star of about 3.3 solar masses and a white dwarf of about 0.9 solar masses; the fact that the white dwarf is less massive than its companion is highly unusual, and V Sge is the only super soft X-ray source nonmagnetic cataclysmic variable found so far.
V Sge has brightened by a factor of 10 over the last century, and based on research reported in 2020, it is expected to continue to brighten and briefly become the brightest star in the night sky sometime around 2083, plus or minus about 11 years.

The Iyād were an Arab tribe which dwelt in western lower and upper Mesopotamia and northern Syria during the 3rd–7th centuries CE.
Parts of the tribe adopted Christianity in the mid-3rd century and came under the suzerainty of the Lakhmid kings of al-Hirah, vassals of the Sasanian Empire.
From this period onward, parts of the tribe became settled in towns and villages along the Euphrates, while other parts remained nomadic and dwelt in the neighboring desert steppes.
The Iyad played a significant role among the Arab tribes in the Fertile Crescent before the advent of Islam, as allies and opponents of the Sasanians and later allies of the Byzantine Empire.
As the early Muslim conquests were underway, parts of the tribe in lower Mesopotamia embraced Islam, while those established in northern Syria and Upper Mesopotamia fled with the retreating Byzantine armies into Anatolia.
According to the traditional Arab genealogists, the Iyad's eponymous progenitor was a son of Nizar ibn Ma'add ibn Adnan and a brother of the latter's sons Mudar, Rabi'a and Anmar, all of whom were also progenitors of large Arab tribes.
The original dwelling places of the Iyad were in the Tihama coastal area of western Arabia down to the environs of Najran.
The tribe in alliance with the Mudar forced out the Jurhum from the western Arabian town of Mecca and consequently became the masters of Mecca's Ka'aba, a major idol sanctuary for the polytheistic Arabs in the pre-Islamic period (pre-630s).
Disputes ensued between the Iyad and the Mudar over control of Ka'aba and the Iyad were later ousted from Mecca during hostilities with the Khuza'a tribe.
The poetic verses that have associated the Iyad with the Ka'aba emanated from a certain member of the tribe called Bashir, and this has rendered the tribe's involvement with the sanctuary as a suspected fabrication produced to glorify the tribe.
In the first half of the 3rd century CE, large groups of Iyad tribesmen migrated to Bahrayn (eastern Arabia) and formed with other Arab tribes the Tanukh confederation.
From Bahrayn the tribe moved into the Sawad (fertile region of lower Mesopotamia) where they grazed their animals and utilized the Ayn Ubagh spring near Anbar as their water source.
About the middle of the 3rd century the Iyad battled Jadhima ibn Malik, the Arab ruler of al-Hirah who was expanding his rule to encompass all the Arab tribes of lower Mesopotamia.
A number of Iyad tribesmen thereafter settled in al-Hirah and adopted an urban way of life and the Christian faith, though it is possible members of the tribe converted to Christianity in the preceding years.
A lone tradition in the Islamic-era sources mentions that the Iyad were the target of a punitive expedition by the Sasanian king Shapur II, but this may be a confusion with Khosrow I's campaign against the Iyad in the 6th century (see below), according to J. Schleifer.
The historian Irfan Shahid supports the view that the Iyad were assaulted by the Sasanians either by Shapur II in the 4th century or by Khosrow (possibly confused by the Arabic sources for the more well-known, 6th-century Khosrow I) in the early 5th century, possibly .
Shahid assumes the Iyad's adoption of Christianity may have caused tensions with the Sasanians, particularly following the persecutions of Yazdegerd I (), and that Sasanian expeditions precipitated the emigration of part of the tribe to Byzantine Oriens (e.g.
A testament to an Iyadi presence in Oriens is that the poet of the Salihid chieftain Dawud al-Laqit, who was served as the Byzantines' phylarch of the Arab tribes in its territory, was Abd al-As, a member of the Iyad.
The Iyad which remained in lower Mesopotamia may have come under the suzerainty of the Lakhmid rulers of al-Hirah, vassals of the Sasanian Empire.
The Iyad tribesman Laqit ibn Ya'mur served as a secretary in the Sasanians' government department for Arab affairs in Ctesiphon and the Iyad poet Abu Duwad supervised the horses of the Lakhmid king al-Mundhir III ibn al-Nu'man ().
In the early 6th century, the tribe made incursions into Sasanian territory east of the Euphrates river, prompting a punitive expedition by Khosrow I.
The Iyad nomads took captive an elite Persian woman, and bested the Persian cavalry subsequently dispatched against them in a battle at Dayr al-Jamajim.
The tribe ignored warnings by Laqit of the repercussions of challenging the Sasanians and were soon after ambushed and driven from their abodes by a Sasanian force.
The surviving tribesmen reestablished themselves in three main areas: the desert west of Mesopotamia; northern Syria up to the town of Ancyra (ancient Ankara) where some members of the tribe had already settled; and the different parts of Mesopotamia, including the Jazira (upper Mesopotamia), the area around al-Hirah and Tikrit.
The Sasanians ousted them from Takrit, but they returned at some point before the Muslim conquest of the city in 637, where members of the tribe secretly aided the city's Sasanian garrison.
Indeed those who remained in the parts of Mesopotamia controlled by the Sasanians were obligated to serve as auxiliaries of its army.
In the first decade of the 7th century, Iyad contingents were dispatched alongside the Quda'a Arab contingents led by Khalid ibn Yazid of the Bahra' tribe to confront the Banu Bakr nomads at the Battle of Dhi Qar.
A part of the Iyad secretly cooperated the Banu Bakr and fled the field mid-battle, causing disorder in the Sasanian lines and contributing to the nomadic Arabs' first major battle victory against a Sasanian army.
The Iyad of Mesopotamia continued under Sasanian suzerainty along with most of the other Arab tribes of the region during the Muslim conquests in the 630s.
In the Battle of Ayn al-Tamr in 633 or 634, the tribe fought under the Sasanian commander Mihran Bahram-i Chobin against the Muslim Arabs led by Khalid ibn al-Walid and again in nearby Sandawda.
Iyad tribesmen under Byzantine authority were sent by Emperor Heraclius with the Byzantine army to besiege the Muslims in Homs in 638, but ultimately withdrew with the Byzantine force into Cilicia where they were pursued and nearly eliminated by the Muslims.
The Muslim general Iyad ibn Ghanm subjected much of northern Syria and upper Mesopotamia in the following year and the Arab tribes who dwelt in these territories embraced Islam with the exception of the Iyad.
Caliph Umar () sought their return to the Muslims' newly-conquered territories and threatened to attack the Christians in his domains should Heraclius not extradite the Iyad.

The Radcliffe wave is a coherent, wave-shaped gaseous structure in the Milky Way, made up of interconnected stellar nurseries, stretching over 9000 light years across.
It is the largest gaseous structure ever seen in the disk of the Milky Way, and lies around 500 light-years from the Sun.
Inside the dense clouds, gas can be so compressed that new stars are born; it has been suggested that this may be where the Sun originated.
Many of the star-forming regions found in the Radcliffe wave were previously thought to be part of a huge ring around the solar system known as the Gould Belt, but it is now understood that there is no ring, but a massive wave instead.

However, despite ambitious expansion plans, GEM's British operations were not a success, with only two other stores at Cross Gates, Leeds and Cliff Mill, Dundonald Street, Preston being opened.
National concessionaires withdrew from the stores and, in 1966, the fledgling Asda superstore chain, whose then parent company was the Leeds, Yorkshire based dairy farming conglomerate, Associated Dairies, acquired a controlling interest in the GEM operations.
The Loughborough Road site still has an Asda store, although it was replaced by a brand new and much larger store on land adjacent to the old site in 1999.

In 1282, King Stefan Dragutin was replaced by Stefan Milutin, his younger brother, with the royal title to revert after his death to one of Stefan Dragutin's sons.
The official version of the incident is that King Dragutin's horse fell in the vicinity of Fort Jeleč, incapacitating him with a broken leg.
The Serbian Archbishop Danilo II reports great confusion after the accident, and the people, facing the threat of attack from a neighbor, forced King Stephan to hand over the royal title to his brother.
As part of the agreement, King Milutin took the Bulgarian princess Anna Terter as a wife and radically changed the foreign policy, directing it to the seizure of Byzantine possessions, becoming an ally of the Second Bulgarian State.

On 8 January 2020, in a military operation code named Operation Martyr Soleimani (), Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched numerous ballistic missiles at the Ayn al-Asad airbase in Al Anbar Governorate, western Iraq, as well as another airbase in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, in response to the killing of Major General Qasem Soleimani by a United States drone strike.
While the U.S. initially said that none of its service members were injured or killed in the attack, the U.S. Department of Defense ultimately said that 64 service members had been diagnosed and treated for traumatic brain injuries from the attack.
In the lead up to the attacks, Iranian officials had said Iran would retaliate against U.S. forces for the killing of general Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad on 3January 2020.
U.S. president Donald Trump warned Tehran that any retaliation would result in the U.S. targeting 52 significant Iranian sites, including cultural sites.
Reportedly, following the Baghdad strike, U.S. intelligence agencies detected Iran's heightened readiness but it was unclear at the time if they were defensive measures or an indication of a future attack on U.S. forces.
On 3 December 2019, an Iraqi military statement said five rockets had landed on the Ayn al-Asad airbase, with no injuries.
Although the exact locations of the bases were not disclosed, U.S. officials confirm their troops had an adequate warning to shelter from the attack.
The attacks unfolded in two waves, each about an hour apart; Fars News Agency subsequently released video of the missile launches.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for the attack and announced that it was carried out in response to the killing of Soleimani.
The IRGC said the strikes came at roughly the same time Soleimani died and added that if the U.S. retaliated, they would respond in kind.
It also declared that the attack was intended as a warning that applied to any regional actor that provides basing for U.S. military personnel.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Iran symbolically targeted the bases, alleging they were the bases used to launch the aircraft that assisted in the killing of Soleimani.
Although the Pentagon disputed the amount launched, it confirmed that both the Ayn Al Asad airbase and an airbase in Erbil were hit by Iranian missiles.
A spokesman for United States Central Command said a total of 15 missiles were fired, with ten hitting the Ayn Al Asad airbase, one hitting the Erbil base, and four missiles failing to reach their target.
U.S. defense secretary Mark Esper later gave a similar estimate, saying 16 short-range missiles had been launched from three locations within Iran, with 11 striking Ayn al-Asad (instead of the prior estimate of 10).
Other sources confirmed that two targeted Erbil: one hit Erbil International Airport and did not explode, the other landed about 20 miles west of Erbil.
Iran's Tasnim News Agency reported that the IRGC used Fateh-313 and Qiam ballistic missiles in the attack and claimed that U.S. forces failed to intercept them because they were equipped with cluster warheads.
Among the coalition forces present on the two bases, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, Norway, and Poland confirmed that their personnel were unharmed.
Satellite photos provided by Planet Labs showed extensive damage to the Al Asad base, with at least five structures damaged in the attack, showing that the missiles were precise enough to hit individual buildings.
David Schmerler, an analyst with the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, which evaluated the photos, said the attacks seem to have hit buildings that store aircraft, while buildings used for housing staff were not hit.
Two defense officials told Newsweek that 18 missiles, which used on-board guidance systems, landed in Al Asad airbase, three of them on the runway, while another hit and damaged an air control tower.
Some soldiers lamented losing all their personal belongings—clothes, books, pictures of their families and mementos they had carried through more than a decade in the military.
U.S. soldiers stationed at Ayn Al Asad later confirmed that they had received advanced warning of the missile attack via secret intelligence signals—before the Iraqis notified them—and that by 11:00p.m.
(local), several hours before the first missiles landed, most of the American section of the base was in lockdown while other troops had been flown out.
Only essential personnel such as tower guards and drone pilots remained unsheltered as they were protecting against a ground assault which base commanders expected would follow the missile attack.
The base did not have structures in place to defend against a missile attack of the kind launched by the IRGC, with many taking cover in concrete indirect fire bunkers and pyramid-like shelters that were built during the Iran–Iraq War.
Several European and U.S. government officials believed that Iran deliberately avoided casualties in their operation in order to send a message of resolve to avenge Soleimani without provoking a substantial military response.
Top U.S. general Mark Milley believed the missiles were intended to cause structural damage, to destroy vehicles, equipment, and aircraft, and to kill personnel, adding that defensive measures by U.S. troops and early warning systems were what prevented personnel from being killed.
Lieutenant Colonel Tim Garland, a U.S. commander at Ayn Al Asad base, said the missile volleys were timed in such a way as to trick soldiers into thinking the bombing was over.
Iranian aerospace commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh said the intention was not to kill any American troops but that they could have planned the operation to do so.
According to the Center For Strategic & International Studies, the Space-based Infrared System (SBIRS) warned troops to prepare for incoming attacks.
The Pentagon has not confirmed the presence of any missile defense systems at either Ain Al Asad airbase or the base near Erbil.
Colonel Garland said two soldiers who had been in guard towers at Ayn Al Asad airbase were blown from their posts during the missile attacks, suffering concussions.
Another official said that it was standard procedure for all personnel in the vicinity of a blast to be screened for TBI.
The Pentagon sharply denied that it attempted to underplay injuries from the attack, with a spokesman saying that the secretary of defense himself only learned of the MEDEVACs a few hours before the general public did, and that brain injuries often take time to manifest and diagnose.
In contrast to the U.S. reports, Al-Qabas, a Kuwaiti newspaper, claimed on 18 January that 16, not 11, U.S. service members were transferred to Camp Arifjan, some of whom were treated for severe burns and shrapnel wounds as well as TBI.
18 of them were evacuated to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, and eight of those were subsequently sent to the United States for treatment at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
It was said that the numbers might be changing.The new information was that 31 of them had been treated in Iraq, while 18 (up from the previous figure of 17) were treated in Germany.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration issued a notice to airmen (NOTAM) prohibiting U.S. civil aviation operators from operating in the airspace over Iraq, Iran, and the waters of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
On the evening of 8 January 2020, Reuters reported that three Katyusha rockets were launched, in Baghdad by unidentified militants, hitting the Green Zone.
On 10 January, the Trump administration imposed new economic sanctions on Iran that targeted the country's metals industry, including the construction, manufacturing, textiles and mining economic sectors.
U.S. treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin noted that the sanctions on metals and other industries would be both primary and secondary sanctions that allows the U.S. to designate other sectors in the future.
Additionally, the U.S. announced 17 specific sanctions against Iran's largest copper, steel, aluminum, and iron manufacturers, a network of Chinese and Seychelles-based entities, and a vessel involved in the transfer of metal products.
The administration also sanctioned eight senior Iranian officials who were involved in the missile attacks, including the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani, the deputy chief of staff of the Iranian armed forces Mohammad-Reza Ashtiani Araghi, and IRGC senior officer Gholamreza Soleimani.
On 12 January, at least four Iraqi soldiers were injured after seven mortars attacked an airbase in Baghdad that housed U.S. trainers.
Hours following the initial missile attacks on Iraq, and after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration announced the NOTAM for the region, a Boeing 737-800 crashed shortly after takeoff from Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport, killing all 176 passengers on board, including at least 130 Iranians.
A wave of anti-government protests emerged across Iran in response to the perceived cover-up, with some demanding the Ayatollah to resign.
British ambassador to Iran Robert Macaire was arrested and held in custody for more than an hour after attending a demonstration at Tehran's Amirkabir University of Technology.
Shortly after Trump's announcement regarding the 8January attack, influential cleric Muqtada al-Sadr urged his followers not to conduct any attacks against U.S. elements in Iraq.

This article describes the correlations between stars' characteristics and the characteristics of the planets that orbit them, and other connections between stars and their planets.
Most stars have planets but exactly what proportion of stars have planets is uncertain because not all planets can yet be detected.
The radial-velocity method and the transit method (which between them are responsible for the vast majority of detections) are most sensitive to large planets in small orbits.
This 1.2% is more than double the frequency of hot jupiters detected by the Kepler spacecraft, which may be because the Kepler field of view covers a different region of the Milky Way where the metallicity of stars is different.
Based on this, it is estimated that perhaps 20% of Sun-like stars have at least one giant planet whereas at least 40% may have planets of lower mass.
Because the Milky Way has at least 200 billion stars, it must also contain tens or hundreds of billions of planets.
Most known exoplanets orbit stars roughly similar to the Sun, that is, main-sequence stars of spectral categories F, G, or K. One reason is that planet-search programs have tended to concentrate on such stars.
In addition, statistical analyses indicate that lower-mass stars (red dwarfs, of spectral category M) are less likely to have planets massive enough to be detected by the radial-velocity method.
Nevertheless, many planets around red dwarfs have been discovered by the Kepler spacecraft by the transit method, which can detect smaller planets.
Stars of spectral category A typically rotate very quickly, which makes it very difficult to measure the small Doppler shifts induced by orbiting planets because the spectral lines are very broad.
However, this type of massive star eventually evolves into a cooler red giant that rotates more slowly and thus can be measured using the radial-velocity method.
Observations using the Spitzer Space Telescope indicate that extremely massive stars of spectral category O, which are much hotter than the Sun, produce a photo-evaporation effect that inhibits planetary formation.
When the O-type star goes supernova any planets that had formed would become free-floating due to the loss of stellar mass unless the natal kick of the resulting remnant pushes it in the same direction as an escaping planet.
Fallback disks of matter that failed to escape orbit during a supernova may form planets around neutron stars and black holes.
Doppler surveys around a wide variety of stars indicate about 1 in 6 stars having twice the mass of the Sun are orbited by one or more Jupiter-sized planets, vs. 1 in 16 for Sun-like stars and only 1 in 50 for red dwarfs.
Kepler Space Telescope observations of planets with up to one year periods show that occurrence rates of Earth- to Neptune-sized planets (1 to 4 Earth radii) around M, K, G, and F stars are successively higher towards cooler, less massive stars.
At the low-mass end of star-formation are sub-stellar objects that don't fuse hydrogen: the brown dwarfs and sub-brown dwarfs, of spectral classification L,T and Y. Planets and protoplanetary disks have been discovered around brown dwarfs, and disks have been found around sub-brown dwarfs (e.g.
They also contain a small proportion of heavier elements, and this fraction is referred to as a star's metallicity (even if the elements are not metals in the traditional sense), denoted [m/H] and expressed on a logarithmic scale where zero is the Sun's metallicity.
A 2012 study of the Kepler spacecraft data found that smaller planets, with radii smaller than Neptune's were found around stars with metallicities in the range −0.6 < [m/H] < +0.5 (about four times less than that of the Sun to three times more), whereas larger planets were found mostly around stars with metallicities at the higher end of this range (at solar metallicity and above).
In this study small planets occurred about three times as frequently as large planets around stars of metallicity greater than that of the Sun, but they occurred around six times as frequently for stars of metallicity less than that of the Sun.
The lack of gas giants around low-metallicity stars could be because the metallicity of protoplanetary disks affects how quickly planetary cores can form and whether they accrete a gaseous envelope before the gas dissipates.
However, Kepler can only observe planets very close to their star and the detected gas giants probably migrated from further out, so a decreased efficiency of migration in low-metallicity disks could also partly explain these findings.
A 2014 study found that not only giant planets, but planets of all sizes have an increased occurrence rate around metal-rich stars compared to metal-poor stars, although the larger the planet, the greater this increase as the metallicity increases.
The study divided planets into three groups based on radius: gas giants, gas dwarfs, and terrestrial planets with the dividing lines at 1.7 and 3.9 Earth radii.
For these three groups the planet occurrence rates are 9.30, 2.03, and 1.72 times higher for metal-rich stars than for metal-poor stars, respectively.
There is a bias against detecting smaller planets because metal-rich stars tend to be larger, making it more difficult to detect smaller planets, which means that these increases in occurrence rates are lower limits.
Stellar multiplicity increases with stellar mass: the likelihood of stars being in multiple systems is about 25% for red dwarfs, about 45% for Sun-like stars, and rises to about 80% for the most massive stars.
55 Cancri, possibly Alpha Centauri Bb), and several circumbinary planets have been discovered which orbit around both members of binary star (e.g.
The Kepler results indicate circumbinary planetary systems are relatively common (as of October 2013 the spacecraft had found seven circumbinary planets out of roughly 1000 eclipsing binaries searched).
One puzzling finding is that although half of the binaries have an orbital period of 2.7 days or less, none of the binaries with circumbinary planets have a period less than 7.4 days.
Another surprising Kepler finding is circumbinary planets tend to orbit their stars close to the critical instability radius (theoretical calculations indicate the minimum stable separation is roughly two to three times the size of the stars' separation).
In 2014, from statisitcal studies of searches for companion stars, it was inferred that around half of exoplanet host stars have a companion star, usually within 100AU.
Follow-up studies with imaging (such as speckle imaging) are needed to find or rule out companions (and radial velocity techniques would be required to detect binaries really close together) and this has not yet been done for most exoplanet host stars.
Examples of known binary stars where it is not known which of the stars a planet orbits are Kepler-132 and Kepler-296, although a 2015 study found that the Kepler-296 planets were likely orbiting the brighter star.
Most stars form in open clusters, but very few planets have been found in open clusters and this led to the hypothesis that the open-cluster environment hinders planet formation.
However, a 2011 study concluded that there have been an insufficient number of surveys of clusters to make such a hypothesis.
Recent discoveries of both giant planets and low-mass planets in open clusters are consistent with there being similar planet occurrence rates in open clusters as around field stars.

Homie is a real estate platform that combines technology, software, and customer service to streamline the home buying or selling process.
In 2015, Homie was founded to modernize real estate transactions and pass the savings to its customers by removing thousands in fees and commissions.
With an official launch in June 2016, the goal is to allow buyers and sellers to gain more transparency and control over the process while still obtaining the support they need from Homie’s team of licensed agents, attorneys, and experts.
Homie received an $18.5 million valuation from a seed round of funding shortly after its launch and has grown quickly since then.
With rapidly increasing home prices and a limited number of homes for sale, Homie was able to create a niche in the real estate industry—helping homebuyers find a home within their budget.
This includes a local real estate agent, listing on MLS and other platforms, professional photos, yard signs, pricing assistance (CMA), an interactive mobile app, attorney assistance for contracts and negotiations.
According to a recent independent Utah real estate study, homes listed with Homie sell faster and for more money than similar homes listed by traditional brokerages.

It was intended to be a romantic allegorical account of Maximilian’s own participation in a series of jousting tournaments in the guise of the tale’s eponymous hero, Freydal.
In the story, Freydal takes part in the tournaments to prove that he is worthy to marry a princess, who is a fictionalised representation of Maximilian’s late wife, Mary of Burgundy.
However, 256 miniature paintings to accompany the text were created by court painters, and 255 of them are preserved in an illuminated manuscript ‘tournament book’ held by the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
These miniatures vividly record the different types of jousts that were popular at the time as well as the court masquerades, or ‘mummeries’, that took place at the end of the day after each tournament.
Maximilian I, and his father Frederick III, were part of what was to become a long line of Holy Roman Emperors from the House of Habsburg.
During his reign, Maximilian commissioned a number of humanist scholars and artists to assist him in completing a series of projects, in different art forms, intended to glorify for posterity his life and deeds and those of his Habsburg ancestors.
He staged many tournaments, including those to celebrate his wedding to Mary of Burgundy in 1477, his coronation as King of the Romans in 1486 and on the occasion of the First Congress of Vienna in 1515.
His instructions on the subjects to be illustrated as well as corrections, in his own hand, of some of the proofs have survived.
These were painted on paper in gouache with gold and silver highlights over pen, pencil and leadpoint by two dozen anonymous court artists under the direction of the imperial master-taylor.
All but one of the paintings are preserved in an illuminated manuscript ‘tournament book’ held by the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
Although, Maximilian never succeeded in doing this and the text only remained a draft, five of the illustrations were trial printed.
These were from woodcuts made in about 1516 by Albrecht Dürer, albeit the cutting was somewhat rough; a sixth woodcut has been attributed to Lucas Cranach the Elder.
Each is hosted by one of the finest courts in the land and comprises two different types of jousting on horse and a foot combat, followed by a masquerade ball.
Once all the tournaments are completed, Freydal receives a letter from one of the noble ladies who, it transpires, is a powerful queen; in the letter, she professes her love for him.
However, the tournaments described are based on encounters Maximilian actually had, as evidenced by a list of people involved in the story in the first seven quires of the draft text and who are known to have existed and been courtiers.
The miniatures in the tournament book manuscript illustrate the types of jousting popular at the time, both on horse and on foot.
After each of the sixty-four tournaments is a scene depicting a moresca (a pantomime dance) or other post-tournament festivities with male courtiers, including the knights who had competed in the tournament, dressing up to dance in a variety of exotic costumes.
The male courtiers in the mummeries in the manuscript dress up, amongst other things, in costumes based on nationality or ethnicity, for example Turkish, Venetian or Burgundian costume, or as animals such as apes and creatures with bird's heads.

The 2020 Memphis 901 FC season is the second season for Memphis 901 FC in the USL Championship, the second-tier professional soccer league in the United States and Canada.
This article covers the period from October 21, 2019 to the conclusion of the USL Championship Playoff Final, scheduled for November 12-16, 2020.
Memphis finished their inaugural season of 2019 in 15th place among the 18-team eastern conference, five spots below the playoff positions, although they did enter the final week of the regular season with a mathematical chance of making the playoffs.
The club announced in November that nine players, mostly starters, from the inaugural season would be retained for the 2020 campaign.
In baseball, a home run is credited to a batter when he hits a fair ball and reaches home safely on the same play, without the benefit of an error.
Fifty-eight different players have hit two home runs in an inning of a Major League Baseball (MLB) game to date, the most recent being Edwin Encarnación of the Seattle Mariners on April 8, 2019.
Regarded as a notable achievement, five players have accomplished the feat more than once in their career; no player has ever hit more than two home runs in an inning.
Charley Jones was the first player to hit two home runs in one inning, doing so for the Boston Red Stockings against the Buffalo Bisons on June 10, 1880.
Bobby Lowe and Mike Cameron finished their respective games with a total of four home runs, equaling the record for most home runs in one game.
Both of the home runs hit by Fernando Tatís in the third inning for the St. Louis Cardinals on April 23, 1999, were grand slams.
Not only did he tie the record for most grand slams in one game, Tatís became the only player to hit two grand slams in the same inning and established a new major league record with eight runs batted in (RBI) in a single inning.
A decade later, Alex Rodriguez set the single-inning American League record for RBIs with seven when he hit a three-run home run and a grand slam in the sixth inning for the New York Yankees on October 4, 2009.
Bret Boone and Cameron are the only players to each hit two home runs in one inning on the same day (May 2, 2002), in the same game, in the same inning (the first), in a pair of back-to-back at bats, and as teammates (playing for the Seattle Mariners).
Bill Regan has the fewest career home runs among players who have two home runs in one inning with 18, while Alex Rodriguez, with 696, hit more home runs than any other player in this group and amassed the fourth most in major league history.
Willie McCovey, Mark McGwire, David Ortiz, Rodriguez, Gary Sheffield, and Sammy Sosa are also members of the 500 home run club.
Of the 43 players eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame who have hit two home runs in an inning, six have been elected, two on the first ballot.
Players are eligible for the Hall of Fame if they have played in at least 10 MLB seasons, and have either been retired for five seasons or deceased for at least six months.
These requirements leave four players ineligible who are active, five players ineligible who are living and have played in the past five seasons, and six players ineligible who did not play in 10 seasons.
In 1946, she met the painter Jiro Yoshihara (who later founded the Gutai group) when he instructed an art workshop she attended in Ashiya.
Other solo exhibitions included shows at Ashiya City Museum of Art and History (2004); Galerie Almine Rech in Paris (2010); and at Take Ninagawa in Tokyo (2013 and 2015).
For the Gutai group's first show (1955), in Tokyo, Yamazaki arranged a series of 25 dyed tin cans upon the floor.
The Harvest Festival of Thanksgiving is a celebration of the harvest and food grown on the land in the United Kingdom.
The festival is also about giving thanks for all the good and positive things in our lives such as family and friendships.
Harvest Festival in the United Kingdom takes place on the Sunday closest to the harvest moon, the full moon occurring closest to the autumnal equinox.
This therefore can either occur at the end of September or at the beginning of October depending when the harvest moon takes place.
Though the Sunday is Harvest Thanksgiving day, many parades, festivals and services occur on other separate dates around this time also.
The 29th Signal Battalion is a battalion of the US Army formed on 20 March 1942 as the 29th Signal Construction Battalion and activated on 10 April 1942 at Camp Gordon, Georgia.
The unit served under federal control during WWII, and was allotted to the regular army in 1950, serving in Germany and France during the Cold War.
The unit was constituted 20 March 1942 in the Army of the United States as the 29th Signal Construction Battalion and activated 10 April 1942 at Camp Gordon, Georgia.
John Grainger DD from St. Thomas Church, to serve those working on the Railway, and Docks, East Wall (then known as North Lotts) being its catchment area.
Grainger just before the new church was completed in 1869 was Rev William Daunt served as rector until 1872, when Rev Harry Fletcher held the role as Rector from 1872 until 1899.
Edward Morgan Griffin BD MA, rector from 1899 to 1918, writing a biography of him, and also dedicating the second volume of his autobiography to Rev.
The Church closed in 1965 and joined North Strand (Waterloo Avenue) and Drumcondra Church to form the United Parish of Drumcondra, North Strand, and Saint Barnabas.
North Strand was renamed North Strand and St. Barnabas officially, the plaque commemorating World War II was moved to North Strand, as was the Roll of Honour from St. Barnabas parish from the Great war.
The Bell from the church (donated by Rector Daunt) is now in Church of Ireland, St. Pauls (French Church), Portarlington, County Laois.
It was established in 1940 when the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association wanted more control over international hockey, and was in disagreement with the definition of amateur used by the International Olympic Committee.
In the wake of Canada not winning the gold medal in ice hockey at the 1936 Winter Olympics, the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) pushed for an updated definition of amateur that met the realities of present-day sport in Canada, and would permit Canada to use its best non-professional players at international competitions.
The revisions were led by W. G. Hardy and George Dudley on behalf of the CAHA, and were opposed by the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada (AAU of C) and its president W. A. Fry.
After the CAHA split ways from the AAU of C, the American union terminated its working agreement with the CAHA that allowed for the transferring of players and exhibition games between the two countries.
American hockey promoter Tommy Lockhart recognized the need for a national governing body to efficiently manage hockey within the United States, rather than several different groups.
In September 1938, the CAHA and AHAUS reached a working agreement which regulated international games in North America, set out provisions for transfer of players between the organizations, and recognized of each other's authority.
Since both the CAHA and the Amateur Athletic Union were members of Ligue Internationale de Hockey sur Glace (LIHG), the American union protested the CAHA affiliation with AHAUS.
The CAHA felt that AHAUS was the most comprehensive ice hockey governing body in the United States, and stayed with the 1938 agreement.
The decision would potentially lose Canada its membership in the LIHG, and the ability to compete at the Ice Hockey World Championships or ice hockey at the Olympic Games.
By then, the AAU of C decided to adopt the definition of amateur as laid out by the respective world governing body of each sport as recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and looked to bring the CAHA back under its jurisdiction.
On April 15, 1940, the CAHA and AHAUS agreed to form a new governing body known tentatively as the International Ice Hockey League, and invited the British Ice Hockey Association (BIHA) to join.
A constitution for the new association was delegated to a committee including future CAHA presidents Hanson Taylor Dowell and W. B. George.
Amateur and junior ice hockey teams in Canada were upset about losing players to professional leagues without compensation, and Hardy set about to negotiate reimbursement of the Canadian teams when a player became professional.
The CAHA had introduced player contracts for the 1940–41 season, with the goal to keep junior-aged and amateur players under service in Canada instead of leaving for professional leagues.
In September 1940, Hardy announced a one-year agreement was reached with the National Hockey League (NHL) to reimburse the amateur associations, which included $250 for signing an amateur and another $250 if the amateur played in the NHL.
The new professional-amateur agreement was signed by Frank Calder on behalf of the NHL in October 1940, and also applied to leagues in the BIHA and the Eastern Amateur Hockey League in the United States.
The distribution of the development funds from the NHL was based on the service time the amateur had with each respective club.
He committed to decide on all application within 15 days to expedite transfers and reinstatements due to wartime enlistments and travel restrictions.
Calder reported there was a general agreement with the amateur leagues that a junior-aged player should be able to determine his own financial future due to the war.
In 1943, Hardy recommended adjustments in amateur payments for players becoming professional, since many later enlisted shortly after signing a contract.
Hardy ruled that since the league operated under affiliation with AHAUS, the existing international transfer rules and professional–amateur agreement would apply to the new league.
In May 1946, the NHL proposed a flat payment of $20,000 to cover all players being signed to professional contracts, whereas the CAHA requested $2000 for any player remaining in the NHL for more than a year.
Hardy felt the CAHA was at a disadvantage to press too hard, and wanted to maintain good relations with the NHL and AHAUS.
The flat rate offer was later accepted with the stipulation that a junior-aged player could sign a contract at age 16, but not play professional until age 18.
Lockhart threatened to resign as vice-president and withdraw AHAUS from the association in January 1947, after the CAHA requested a $100 fee for international transfers.
Another a motion of confidence was passed in the International Ice Hockey Association, and closer relationships between the CAHA, AHAUS and the BIHA.
In April 1945, Hardy envisioned an amateur hockey World Series after World War II, involving teams from Canada, the United States, England and Scotland.
The proposed series would be an annual event between the North American and European champion to begin in 1947 or 1948.
Hardy expected hockey to grow after the war, and said proper rules had been established to limited transfers and prevent raiding of Canadian rosters.
The association met in August 1946 in New York City, along with guests from the Scottish Ice Hockey Association, French and Swedish associations.
A proposal would also be submitted for the Ice Hockey World Championships to alternate between Europe and North America, with the Olympic hockey tournaments played under the same rules as the CAHA and the NHL.
Hardy's resolution from 1941 stated the merger was acceptable if the CAHA definition of amateur was approved, the membership and voting system was acceptable to the CAHA, and that AHAUS be admitted as a member to the merged organization.
The CAHA attended the LIHG meeting during the 1947 Ice Hockey World Championships in Prague, and pushed for the definition of amateur to be anyone not actively engaged in professional sport.
Incoming CAHA president Allan Pickard stated that the CAHA and AHAUS would operate with complete autonomy under the structure of the agreement to join the LIHG.
The LIHG agreed to a merger where the presidency would alternate between North America and Europe every three years, and recognized AHAUS as the governing body of hockey in the United States.
A decision on increased voting power for the CAHA was deferred, and the CAHA was permitted to have its own definition of amateur as long as teams at the Olympic games adhered to existing LIHG rules.
The LIHG was renamed the International Ice Hockey Federation in 1948, and Hardy served as its president from 1948 to 1951.

Aleksandr Ivanovich Blagonravov (; – 28 May 1962) was a Soviet military engineer and designer who worked on the designs of armoured vehicles prior to, during, and after the Second World War.
Blagonravov began his military career by joining the Red Army and studied at the , afterwards embarking on a career working in teaching and the designs of armoured vehicles.
His work included the epicyclic gearing mechanisms employed on the T-34 and IS-2 tank designs, the latter work winning him the Stalin Prize in 1943.
He took up leadership roles in the People's Commissariat of Defence of the Soviet Union towards the end of the war, later serving in the Scientific-Tank Committee in the Ministry of Defence's Main Armoured Directorate, and as Head of the Tank Department of the Military Academy of Mechanization and Motorization of the Red Army.
Blagonravov wrote a number of academic works, was a Candidate of Technical Sciences, and a docent, while reaching the rank of Engineer Lieutenant General.
His son, Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blagonravov, followed in his father's footsteps, serving as chief designer of Kurganmashzavod and playing an important role in the development of the BMP-2 and BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles.
Blagonravov later became chairman of the Scientific-Tank Committee of the Main Armoured Directorate of the Ministry of Defence, and between 1959 and 1962 was head of the Directorate.
Between 1951 and 1954 he was Head of the Tank Department of the Military Academy of Mechanization and Motorization of the Red Army.
Blagonravov married Elizaveta Alekseevna Zvereva (1905-1991), a lieutenant colonel, head of production workshops, and a lecturer at the Military Armoured Forces Academy.
Their son, Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blagonravov, followed in his father's footsteps, serving as chief designer of Kurganmashzavod and playing an important role in the development of the BMP-2 and BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles.
Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blagonravov (; 24 May 1933 – 1 January 2020) was a Soviet and later Russian military engineer and designer who worked on the designs of armoured vehicles.
Born the son of a military engineer who worked on tank designs during the time of the Second World War, Blagonravov followed in his father's footsteps.
After studying at the Military Academy of the Armoured Forces, he began a long association with the academic study of problems relating to mechanised military vehicles.
He taught and researched at the academy after graduation, and also served briefly as a deputy battalion commander in the 4th Guards Tank Division.
Blagonravov left the academy in 1974, taking up the position of chief designer at Kurganmashzavod, a state enterprise that designed and produced infantry fighting vehicles.
Under his leadership the designs of the BMP-2 and BMP-3 were brought to fruition, entering service with the Soviet Armed Forces.
Stepping down as chief designer in 1989, Blagonravov continued to live and work in Kurgan, teaching at Kurgan State University and producing a number of academic works.
Blagonravov was born on 24 May 1933 in Moscow, then part of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, in the Soviet Union.
He was the son of Aleksandr Ivanovich Blagonravov, a military engineer who worked on the T-34 and IS-2 tank designs, and had been awarded the Stalin Prize.
He entered the Military Academy of the Armoured Forces in 1951, eventually working on the theory of turning tracked vehicles, and then in the field of transmissions, turning mechanisms, and continuously variable transmissions for his dissertation.
From 1957 to 1961 he was a junior research fellow at the Academy, and then from 1961 to 1962 was a deputy battalion commander in the 4th Guards Tank Division, based in the city of Naro-Fominsk.
From 1962 Blagonravov was back at the Military Academy of the Armoured Forces, serving as a senior researcher, and then senior lecturer, until 1974.
Alongside work to finalise the BMP-2 and bring it into mass production, Blagonravov and the team of designers at Kurganmashzavod began work on a next-generation version of the vehicle in 1976, which was finalised and entered service in 1987 as the BMP-3.
He was also given the title of , Honorary Citizen of the Order of the Red Banner of Labor of Kurgan in 2000, and .

Eburne Bridge, North Arm Bridge, Sea Island Bridge, or Middle Arm Bridge, was consecutive crossings over the north and middle arms of the Fraser River in Metro Vancouver.
In 1888, the San Francisco Bridge Co. began work on the two timber truss bridges, with steel swing spans, connecting north Eburne with Lulu Island via the eastern tip of south Eburne.
Completed in November 1889, the set of bridges opened that December, and the Municipality of Richmond assumed responsibility for their maintenance.
On January 3, 1890, an ice sheet carried by the incoming tide destroyed the Lulu Island span, which remained out of service for most of 1890.
Over the decades, river traffic found the narrow spans difficult to navigate, and the first collision causing structural damage was 1891.
To provide two more years life, the plan was to replace the two wooden swings with steel swing spans, and replace the trestle approaches, but extensive rot in the piers revised the project to a complete rebuild.
In 1919–20, 100 feet of asphalt were laid as an experimental surface, and the turning gear for the swing spans became electrically powered.
During 1924–25, Nickson Construction and Hamilton Bridge Works commenced building combined steel and timber bridges to replace the existing ones, with the new decks asphalted the following year.
For 1942–43, major repairs included new piling in the protection piers, new dolphins, and extensive timber replacement in the Howe trusses.
5 received a new 130-foot Howe truss, new ties and deck, and solid fill replaced the approach trestles to the southeast.
Increasing vehicle backups, due to openings for river traffic, delayed travel to Vancouver International Airport, owned by Vancouver City up to 1961.
During the planning stage, the Oak Street Bridge, opened in 1957, was known as the New Marpole Bridge, becoming its replacement.
The new crossing configuration created a more circuitous route between Vancouver and the airport, causing traffic delays when the Moray Bridge opened for boats.
Peter William Humphrey, born in , commonly known by Han Feilong () in China, is a former British journalist and private detective, who became famous in media for his arrest by the Shanghai Police due to his illegal acquisition of personal data of Chinese citizens.
After released from China in 2018, after 2 years' detention, he claimed Shanghai to be the most corrupt city in China and described the torment he had suffered at Qingpu Prison to global media.
However, his claims to have been tortured at Qingpu , and the claimed appeals on the charity cards, has been strongly denied by Chinese government and media.
In 2003, he founded a risk management company called ChinaWhys (), whose websites claimed to provide creative solutions to tricky business problems in China.
In 2004, he and his Chinese American wife Yu Yingzeng founded Shelian Consultation (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, whose clients were mostly large multinational corporations in China.
The company hired dozens of employees, among which Humphrey was the general manager of the company and his wife the legal representative.
In March 2013, secretly filmed sex tapes of Mark Rilley, GlaxoSmithKline's then head in China, were emailed to 13 senior executives of the company, including the CEO Andrew Witty, in March 2013.
On 18 August 2013, Humphrey and his wife was arrested by Shanghai police due to their illegal acquisition of person data of Chinese citizens.
According to Xinhua, the information included the family member's information, the content of household register, the information of real estate ownership, car ownership, telephone records, and the records of leaving and entering China.
The court made the ruling where Humphrey should be held for 2 and a half year and pay a fine of 200 thousand RMB before deported from China.
Although his wife Yu Yingzeng was a US citizen, the court considered her personal conditions and criminal conditions and did not expel her from China.
Yu said she never knew acquiring third-hand personal data was illegal in Mainland China and admitted they had done similar investigations in Hong Kong and other areas.
Humphrey once said during his detention before the trial that he was deceived by GlaxoSmithKline, which did not tell him details of the severity of the company's bribery.
According to Chinese media the Paper, a former Chinese female executive at GlaxoSmithKline China's government affairs department who was born in 1964, should have been involved in reporting the company's bribery to the senior executives of the company and the Chinese government, as said by some employees of other foreign pharmaceutical companies in China interviewed by the Paper.
Humphrey was diagnosed with prostate cancer, which Humphrey claimed to be worsened by poor conditions and delayed treatment in the prison.
In March 2017, they sued GlaxoSmithKline as they believed that GlaxoSmithKline misled them to unpredictable legal risk and sought for compensations, while GlaxoSmithKline believed such accusation to be unreasonable.
In the article, it was reported that a girl from Tooting, South London, England found help information in a charity card bought from Tesco.
Humphrey said that the father of the girl contacted Humphrey so he wrote the article, and he also claimed to know who wrote the information.Yunguang, the printing company which made the cards, said this news was faked.
In June 2019 he set a new world record of 10.45s in the 100 metres T12 event at the Bislett Games.

He won a number of school championships in his youth before reaching the finals of the Auckland Schoolboys' Championship at the age of 13, losing to a student named JB Williams (caddie Steve Williams' father).
During this era he was also invited to play in amateur tournaments in South Africa but, because he is Maori, he decided not to travel, circumspect of how he would be treated in the apartheid country.
He sporadically played in Europe in his first year, participating in the 1963 Open Championship won by Bob Charles, but the weather did not appeal to him and he returned to New Zealand.
The following year, he won his first important professional tournament, tying Frank Phillips at the West End Tournament in Victor Harbor, Australia.
The following year, he tied for second at the Metalcraft Tournament in his home country of New Zealand, three behind Australian legend Peter Thomson.
Godfrey shot a course record 65 during on Friday to get into contention and could have won if it were not for Kel Nagle's 64 – usurping Godfrey's own course record – on Sunday.
Two months later, on 10 December, he entered the final round of the BP Tournament, held near his hometown in Auckland, New Zealand, tied with Peter Thomson.
On the final hole, however, Thomson drove into the trees and made bogey while Godfrey birdied, exchanging the lead once more, giving the New Zealander the win.
He describes these victories as his greatest successes because he defeated legendary golfers Kel Nagle and Peter Thomson at both of them.

The star is depicted as a luminous white circle of light up in the sky, from which seeps a faint luminescence that lights up the characters; a more distinct diagonal ray of light shines directly onto Jesus and Mary in the centre of the composition.
The Magi are before the Holy Family; two, Melchior and Balthazar, kneel holding up the gifts of gold and myrrh in ornate and bejewelled boxes, the other, Caspar, is prostrate and behind him stands a page holding the gift of frankincense.
Not only the Magi, but the crowd of around 150 figures that surround them are dressed in elaborate exotic robes, turbans and caps resembling fezzes.
Some of them bear prominent status symbols, such as richly-decorated cloaks and headgear, processional canopies, horses with elaborate reins and harnesses, and one is carried inside an elaborate carriage on the back of an elephant.
A small group of dignitaries to the left seems to be discussing the nature of the light above (possibly astronomers); a harried soldier shoves a group of young men out of the way; a shepherd on the foreground seems to be preparing to immolate a sheep.
There also seem to be subtle visual references to the prophecy of Isaiah: the rubble of the ruined Jerusalem from , the women carrying lap children from (alternatively, a reference to the Massacre of the Innocents), the camels from .
The scene is framed by the crowd, the Romantic vague suggestion of ruins and a misty pale sky, with a dramatic horizon painted as an open 'V' shape, guiding the view towards the focal point of the composition: Jesus on Mary's arms.
The painting was completed in Castel Gandolfo, near Rome, in the summer of 1828, during a very particular time in the author's life.
To prepare the work, Sequeira made a main preparatory study, in charcoal and white chalk, on the same scale as the final painting.
Then, he made individual, detailed sketches of some of the figures, to hone postures, gestures, and facial expressions: there are more than twenty-five such sketches.
These are all part of the collections of the National Museum of Ancient Art; they were purchased for the , an institutional ancestor of the museum, in 1878, following the death of the .
The work remained with the descendants of Pedro de Sousa Holstein, 1st Duke of Palmela, who bought it in 1845 from Sequeira's daughter Mariana Benedita, along with the four other paintings that comprise the Palmela Series, until 2016.
The painting then underwent restoration by the Museum's Department for Conservation and Restoration, for two months: even though it was in very good state of preservation, restorers removed applications of old oxidised varnish that gave the painting a yellowish hue and concealed some detail, as well as minor overpainting.
The restoration work revealed new information about the painting, namely, that Sequeira had used his own fingerprints to give texture to the mantles of the Magi, and that the artist made very little alteration to the compositions seen in the underdrawing.
The painting was unveiled on 14 July 2016, on the same day as the newly-renovated gallery of 12th to 19th-century Portuguese painting and sculpture.

Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 (PS752) was a scheduled international passenger flight from Tehran to Kiev operated by Ukraine International Airlines (UIA).
On 8January 2020, the Boeing 737-800 operating the route was shot down shortly after takeoff from Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport.
Iranian aviation authorities initially denied the airplane was hit by a missile and said a technical error was responsible, while Ukrainian authorities, after initially deferring to Iran's explanation, said a shoot-down of the flight was one of their main working theories.
Investigation by western intelligence agencies and the general public had revealed the aircraft had been shot down by a Tor-M1 surface-to-air missile launched by Iran, then three days later, on 11 January, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said they had shot down the aircraft after mistaking it for a cruise missile; they fired two surface-to-air missiles on the aircraft.
The incident occurred during the 2019–20 Persian Gulf crisis, at a time of heightened tensions five days after U.S. president Donald Trump ordered a drone strike (which killed Iranian major general Qasem Soleimani) in Iraq in retaliation for the breaching of the U.S. embassy in Baghdad by Iranian Militia Group Kataib Hezbollah and hours after Iran's retaliatory ballistic missile attacks.
It was preceded by an order from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that all American civilian aircraft avoid Iranian airspace and was followed by similar orders by several other nations and airlines including Ukraine.
Experts have questioned Iran's decision to not close its airspace after launching missiles; General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said a request had been made for a no-fly zone before the incident but this request was rejected.
As a result of the aircraft shoot down and perceived government deception, mass protests broke out in Iran calling for the removal of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
The crash came about four hours after Iran launched retaliatory missile strikes on U.S. positions in Iraq for the killing of Major General Qasem Soleimani.
The flight was operated by Ukraine International Airlines, the flag carrier and the largest airline of Ukraine, on a scheduled flight from the Iranian capital Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport to Boryspil International Airport in the Ukrainian capital Kiev.
It departed Stand 116 and took off from Runway 29R at 06:12:08 local time and was expected to land in Kiev at 08:00 local time ().
The airport is above mean sea level, but the ground around Parand and the crash site is several hundred feet higher.
The flight was climbing at just under when the flight data record abruptly ended over the open ground near the northern end of Enqelab Eslami Boulevard in Parand.
Analysis of several videos by the New York Times shows that aircraft was hit almost immediately by the first of two short-range missiles (which knocked out its transponder) launched thirty seconds apart by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and with the aircraft having maintained its track, by the second missile some 23 seconds later, after which it veers right and can be seen aflame before disappearing from view.
The precise track of the aircraft is unknown from that point until about a minute before it crashes, when several videos record its last seconds.
The aircraft crashed on a park and fields on the edge of the village of Khalajabad north-west of the airport, and about ENE of the last missile strike about 7 minutes after takeoff, but did not cause any casualties on the ground.
Shortly after the crash, emergency responders arrived with 22 ambulances, four bus ambulances, and a helicopter, but intense fires prevented a rescue attempt.
It was three and a half years old at the time of it being shot down, having first flown on 21 June 2016.
It was delivered to the airline on 19 July 2016 and was the first 737 Next Generation aircraft purchased by the airline.
According to Iranian offcials, 146 passengers used an Iranian passport to leave Iran, ten used an Afghan passport, five used a Canadian one, four a Swedish one, and two used Ukrainian passports.
There is some disagreement from other sources with this accounting of nationalities, possibly due to some passengers being nationals of more than a single country.
According to Ukrainian foreign minister Vadym Prystaiko and a flight manifest released by UIA, out of the 167 passengers' citizenship, 82 were confirmed to be Iranian, 63 were Canadian, three were British, four were Afghan, 10 were Swedish, and three were German.
The German Foreign Ministry denied any Germans were aboard; the three people in question were Afghan nationals who lived in Germany as asylum seekers.
Many of the Iranian Canadians were affiliated with Canadian universities, as students or academics who had travelled to Iran during Christmas break.

Qi Yaoshan (; 1865 - February 15, 1954), courtesy name Zhaoyan, was a statesman and government official in the Qing dynasty and Republic of China.
Towards the final years of the reign of the Guangxu Emperor, Qi was promoted to the position of administrator of Jingyi Circuit and Hanhuangde Circuit in Hubei.
After this, he served at the General Office of Honghanguan at the Public Relations Office, as well as at the head of the Hubei Provincial Government Supervising and Training Office and as a manager of academic affairs in Hubei.
In 1921, he served as the Chief Cabinet Secretary of Jin Yunpeng and the Prime Minister of the Famine Relief Society.
In December, he entered the Cabinet of Agriculture and Commerce under Liang Shiyi, as well as becoming the Minister of Education.
In April, he was removed from his position as Minister of Education, and in June, he was removed from his position as being the President of the Shangwu Bank.

Joseph 'Hohepa' Harawira was a Maori kaumātua (elder) and environmental campaigner in New Zealand, prominent for raising issues of dioxin poisoning around Whakatane in the Eastern Bay of Plenty.
Harawira worked at Tasman pulp and paper mill (Kawerau), Kinleith mill (Tokoroa) and then at Whakatane sawmill for 29 years, where like many other workers he was exposed to pentachlorophenol (PCP), used in timber processing in New Zealand at that time.
Harawira retired from the mill when his health declined in 1982, and suffered near-total paralysis by the 1990s, which he said was due to toxic chemical poisoning from his years at the mill.
Many other workers at the mill suffered similar health effects, suffering similar symptoms of fatigue, depression, respiratory problems, heart and liver disease, and high levels of cancer.
Harawira spent the last 30 years of his life seeking recognition for workers at the Whakatane Sawmill harmed by workplace chemical poisoning.
He was spokesperson for Sawmill Workers Against Poisons (SWAP), producing a survey of (former) sawmill workers and families that led directly to action, including specialised health services and a clinic.
For many decades, the mill had dumped contaminated sawdust, bark, scrap timber, and chemicals in and around Whakatane and the Rangitaiki Plains, including the Kopeopeo Canal, which was sometimes called New Zealand's most polluted waterway.
Between 1950 and 1989, these canal received point-source discharge containing wastes from the timber treatment mill, where PCP had been used as a wood preservative.

Given that two of the notes from the chromatic scale are missing and only two whole tones are possible, all 10-note scales are cohemitonic scales.
The four-semitone tritone scale (set 10-6) is a decatonic scale consisting of four semitones, a whole tone, four semitones, and a whole tone (four semitones a tritone apart): 0,1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10.
This is a mode of Olivier Messiaen's seventh mode of limited transposition; it has six transpositions, like the tritone, and five modes (the same pitch classes with C, D, D, E, or E taken as the first scale step or tonic).
This allows a dominant seventh chord to be built upon the tonic and a seventh sharp nine chord, and allows the tonic chord to have an altered ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth factors.
A decatonic scale that has been used or considered by Kyle Gann and La Monte Young in 13-limit just intonation is 1/1, 12/11, 32/27, 9/7, 4/3, 132/91, 3/2, 18/11, 16/9, 176/91, and 2/1.
Phạm Thanh Tâm (15 May 1932 – 30 May 2019) was a Vietnamese journalist and war artist, who used the nom de plume Huỳnh Biếc.
His career spanned the First Indochina War as a Việt Minh soldier participating in the resistance against French colonialism, as well as the Second Indochina War (also known as the Vietnam War) as a member of the People’s Army of Vietnam against South Vietnam and the United States.
Phạm Thanh Tâm was born in Vĩnh Hảo, Vinh Lại, Vụ Bản district, Nam Định Province – northern Hải Phòng – into a family with a tradition of revolutionary activities.
After evacuating the city in late-1946, he attended a six month painting training course organized by the Art Division of Military Zone III held at Phù Lưu Chanh communal house, near Đầu market, in Bắc Ninh.
After his studies at the painting training course in Military Zone III, Phạm Thanh Tâm was assigned to the Culture and Information Office in Hưng Yên Province.
After returning to Vietnam, he and his division marched from the town of Lào Cai on Vietnam’s northern border with China to Điện Biên Phủ, a journey of over 300 kilometres on foot.
He arrived on 11 March 1954, two days before the decisive Battle of Điện Biên Phủ, which he participated in as a soldier and documented as an artist and journalist.
From 1954 to 1963, he worked for three newspapers concurrently: the Military Art Newspaper (Văn Nghệ Quân Đội), the People’s Army Newspaper (Quân Đội Nhân Dân) and the Military Image Newspaper (Hình Ảnh Quân Đội).
Again as a journalist, he was granted permission to write and paint from the battlefields along the Ho Chi Minh Trail; in Khe Sanh, Quảng Trị and Hạ Long Bay; during the 1972 Christmas bombings; in Đà Nắng and during the Fall of Saigon.
Although artists worked under difficult conditions and with limited resources, he managed to preserve most of his sketches and paintings by sending them back to Hanoi for safe keeping, using a variety of materials and the occasional use of photographs.
In 1978, he was appointed the director of the Military Fine Arts Workshop (later merged into the Military Museum) and staged painting exhibitions, taught art courses and erected statues to commemorate the reunification of Vietnam.

Pierre Benveniste, born on 22 December 1937 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, is a French researcher in plant biochemistry and professor at the University of Strasbourg.
After a PhD (Use of tissue cultures for the study of natural products) carried out under the direction of Professors Léon Hirth and Guy Ourisson and obtained in 1967, he turned his attention to the study of sterol biosynthesis in plants.
In charge of research at the CNRS until 1970, he was appointed lecturer in 1970 and then professor in 1975 at the University of Strasbourg.
He first became director of the ERA n° 487 of the CNRS then director of the isoprenoids department of the Institute of Plant Molecular Biology (IBMP) of the CNRS.
His research work ceased in 2005 due to his retirement and he is now an honorary professor at the University of Strasbourg.
Studies carried out in his laboratory show that these sterols are structuring agents of plant cell membranes and in particular of the plasma membrane.
Between 1963 and 1987, sterol biosynthesis was studied by radiochemical methods, enzymology and the use of inhibitors, analogues of transition states involved in the catalysis of target enzymes.
In the latter, cycloartenol, a pentacyclic triterpene, a product of the cyclisation of squalene epoxide, is a major biosynthetic intermediate, whereas the same role is played by lanosterol, a tetracyclic triterpene, in non-photosynthetic eukaryotes (fungi, vertebrates).
Using genetics and molecular biology in support of previous methods, cDNA clones encoding biosynthetic enzymes were isolated and characterized for the first time.
Mutants affected in sterol biosynthesis, site1 mutant defective in Δ7 sterol-C5-desaturase, sterov mutant overproducing sterols were isolated, transformed plants with gain or loss of function were selected and identified.
Advances in the knowledge of the regulation of the biosynthesis of sterols and their derivatives (esters, glucosides) as well as their functions have been obtained.
The results show for the first time that in Arabidopsis and all higher plants there are two gene subfamilies: SMT1 and SMT2 coding for methyltransferases involved in the methylation reactions leading to the formation of 24-methyl and 24-ethyl cholesterols.
The overexpression or cosuppression of SMT2 in tobacco or Arabidopsis lines has a profound impact on the relative proportions of 24-methyl and 24-ethyl cholesterol.
In particular SMT2 plays a crucial role in adjusting the campesterol/sitosterol ratio to the value required for membrane integrity and balanced growth.
An Arabidopsis mutant has been isolated that contains mainly Δ7-sterols instead of the normal Δ5-sterols, and has a defect in the gene (STE1) encoding Δ7-sterol-C5(6)-desaturase.
It was thus shown that the corresponding protein has an isoleucine instead of a threonine at position 114 and that this change resulted in a considerable decrease in enzyme activity.
Directed mutagenesis work confirmed that T114 plays a particularly important role since its replacement with isoleucine results in a loss of function while its replacement with serine results in a considerable gain in function (Vmax multiplied by 28).
The results obtained show that the sterov mutation affects the activity of Hydroxy-Methyl-Glutaryl-CoA reductase, which is strongly stimulated in the mutant.
The work carried out shows that the plants have the originality of carrying out the cellular esterification of sterols by an enzyme (of LCAT type, lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase) different from that (of ACAT type, acylCoA cholesterol acyltransferase) operating in animals and fungi.

His handwritten note to Otto Funke, second chairman of the SED in Thuringia, about the amount of people to be forcibly resettled into the East German interior in the course of the operation is often cited as a prime example of the inhuman or dehumanizing views of the GDR government.
Because of this, the forced resettlement operations not only affected citizens with contacts in the West, churchgoers, former members of the NSDAP and its organizations, but also farmers who failed to meet their quotas and people who made any kind of negative comment about the state.
In these cases, the operations could only be carried out with the use of reinforcements and were delayed by several days.
Upon arrival, they were assigned new houses or apartments which were often not as valuable as the homes they were forced to leave behind.
The neighbors at their new homes were told that the new arrivals were criminals, which meant that it was initially impossible for them to lead a normal social life.
Operation Vermin was undertaken to consolidate the GDR border regime after the Federal Republic of Germany and the Western Allies (France, United Kingdom, United States) signed the General Treaty (Generalvertrag).
Historians assume that between 11,000 and 12,000 people were resettled during the operations and that about 3,000 more avoided forced resettlement by fleeing from the GDR.
Two especially famous cases were the flights of 34 people from Billmuthausen in June 1952 and 53 people from Böseckendorf in October 1961, both of which are places in Thuringia.

The Grace Bardsley Aboriginal Fund was established in her name by the AAF to help fund publications and other Aboriginal rights supporting projects.
In 1941 she became a member of the Communist Party of Australia, but became alienated in the 1950s when she denounced Stalinism.
After leaving the communist party and moving to Sydney Bardsley continued to be active on a range of organisations committed to social justice and peace.
In 1943 Barsley met Pearl Gibbs, an aboriginal activist who was a member of the Aborigines Progressive Association (APA) campaigned for Aboriginal citizenship rights.
Gibbs introduced Barsley to the social and racial context of Aboriginal oppression and poverty, and when Gibbs called for volunteer typists for APA, Barsley gladly agreed.
In the 1950s, while volunteering for organizations devoted to peace and social justice, Bardsley continued working full-time as a private secretary to the managing director of a Sydney timber company.
In 1956 Bardsley along with Pearl Gibbs, Bert Groves and Faith Bandler formed the Aboriginal Australian Fellowship, which was registered as a charity in 1957.
In late 1959 Bardsley traveled with Len and Mona Fox to the northern coast of New South Wales to visit far reserves and meet Aboriginal people from the missions and reserves.
They encouraged aborigines to sign a petition to repeal the anti-liquor clause that interfered Aboriginal people to mix freely with others.
Bardsley was known for her practical support to individual aborigines, namely she supported Aboriginal woman Joyce Clague to finish her education and find her first job.
In July 1965 at the AAF general meeting dedicated to organization of the first all-Aboriginal AAF conference Bardsley pointed at an error of the organizers who first planned to include both Aboriginal and European Australian speakers to the program of the conference.
She explained that ‘the whole point of this conference is that Aborigines should not hear whites tell them what to do.
They should have the whole show.’ Bardsley was selected by aboriginal members to coordinate the office work of the Aboriginal sponsoring committee and sent letters to Aboriginal communities throughout the state.
The Grace Bardsley Aboriginal Fund, established by the AAF in her name, helped to fund publications and other Aboriginal rights supporting projects between 1973 and 1978.

Eva Backofen (between 1980 and 2007 Eva Anderson) is a German freelance graphic artist and sculptor living and working since 1980 in Dresden.
When she was not quite three the family moved to Berlin where she grew up and attended primary and middle schools, between 1956 and 1968 in Berlin-Köpenick.
Eva Backofen had been born in the same month as the formal launch of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), the separate German state in which she lived and made her life till reunification in 1990.
Because of her artistic talent Backofen now took a job as a and sculptor behind the scenes at the Berlin Comic Opera in 1968.
She supported herself as a freelance sculptor in Dresden and, after the young family had, in 1981, accepted an invitation from the singer-journalist (whose wife was a ceramics artist) to move to the capital, Berlin.
At some point during the 1980s the close relationship with Anderson seems to have ended, however, since after he crossed to West Berlin in 1986 Eva Anderson continued to live and work in East Berlin and Dresden.
The imperative to participate in membership of professional associations as part of any career plan changed in various ways after 1989, and the reunification that followed in 1990.
From 1947 he worked at Radio Suisse Romande in Lausanne, first as a recording manager and from 1956 as head of the music department.
From 1973 to 1979 and from 1987 to 1991 Zbinden was president of the Swiss Society for the Rights of Authors of Musical Works (SUISA).
Zbinden is the winner of numerous prizes: the Henryk Wieniawski Composition Prize in Warsaw (1956), the Grand Prize of the Communauté radiophonique des programmes de langue française, the Swiss Radio Broadcasting Prize, the prize of the Société des auteurs et compositeurs dramatiques (SACD) and the prize of the Association des amis du Festival international de Lausanne.
Although modest in elevation, relief is significant since the south face of the mountain rises up over 5,400 feet (1,646 m) in less than one mile from the immense Childs Glacier.
The peak was named about 1910 by Lawrence Martin, for A. C. O'Neel, Chief Bridge Engineer for Copper River and Northwestern Railway, who built a $1,500,000 steel bridge across the Copper River near the southeast base of this mountain in 1909-1910.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount O'Neel is located a subpolar oceanic climate zone, with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool summers.
He leads a research team at the Institut de Biologie du Développement de Marseille (IBDM), and the Turing Centre for Living Systems, an interdisciplinary centre dedicated to the study of living organisms.
Thomas Lecuit grew up in Saumur, from medical parents who gave him a broad education, open to the arts, the humanities and science.
After a scientific baccalaureate (1989) he began studies in the preparatory class at the Lycée Sainte Geneviève, and in 1991 he entered the École Normale Supérieure.
In 1993-1994, he completed a decisive research internship at the Rockefeller University in New York under the direction of Claude Desplan, who introduced him to the world of research.
Pursuing his interest in the study of development, he completed his thesis at the EMBL in Heidelberg, under the supervision of Stephen Cohen.
His work focuses on developmental genetics, that is, the way genes called morphogens orchestrate the identity of cells at a distance.
In 1998, Thomas Lecuit extended the study of developmental genetics to the analysis of its cellular bases during a postdoctoral fellowship at Princeton University with Eric Wieschaus, winner of the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.
Recruited at the CNRS in 2001 as a research fellow, he returned to France at the Institute of Developmental Biology in Marseille.
He set up a research team on tissue architecture and plasticity which led him to unify genetic, cellular and physical approaches to morphogenesis.
He was appointed director of research at the CNRS in 2006 and again in 2010, second class and then first class.
Thomas Lecuit directs the Turing Centre for Living Systems in Marseille, an interdisciplinary centre dedicated to the study of life through collaborations between biologists, physicists, computer scientists and mathematicians.
Thomas Lecuit's scientific contributions address the general question of the origin of forms in biology and the nature of morphogenetic information.
The twentieth century was marked by the discovery of genetic determinisms of development, in particular the genes that define the cellular position information in an embryo, i.e.
Morphogens were first proposed by the mathematician Alan Turing in 1954, as factors organizing form according to purely physico-chemical principles of reaction-diffusion.
Lewis Wolpert in 1969 and Francis Crick in 1971 proposed a more precise definition, as factors that form a concentration gradient at the origin of positional information.
Thomas Lecuit shows that the growth factors of the BMP/Dpp and Wg/Wnt families are morphogens, acting at a distance, whose local concentration constitutes positional information that spatially organizes cell identity and limb axes.
He is interested in the formation of the primordial tissue of the Drosophila embryo, a process called cellularization, and discovers the origins of membrane dynamics and its polarization.
Since 2001, Thomas Lecuit has been studying how genes orchestrate the cellular movements that cause changes in the shape of embryonic tissues.
His research includes characterization of the physical principles of morphogenesis, along the lines of the work begun by d'Arcy Thompson in On Growth and Form (1917).His team first discovered the nature of the mechanical forces that cause tissue plasticity, namely the contractile forces that reshape the shape and cellular interactions and their division.
Since 2010, Thomas Lecuit and his colleagues have been highlighting the limits of a tradition that has largely seen development as the strict execution of a deterministic program governed by hierarchically regulated genes.
Several studies indicate that it is also appropriate to consider statistical laws of organization, without hierarchy but with many feedbacks of a mechano-chemical nature.
This work reveals the importance of self-organization during development and allows for a renewed definition of biological information that combines genetics, mechanics and geometry.

Prism World Tour, also known as 2020 Pentagon World Tour 〈Prism〉 was the first concert tour headlined by South Korean boy band Pentagon.
The world tour commenced with two shows in Seoul in April 2019 and continued onto Indonesia, North America, Brazil, Mexico, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and more.
It has been revealed that on the way back from Jakarta after concluding their concert, the plane which Pentagon had boarded experienced a plane fault and was forced to return to Jakarta.
It was reported the flight was delayed due to a problem with the air conditioning system, and they did not take off for approximately an hour.
There is also said to have been a medical emergency on the flight, leading to the decision to return to Jakarta.
Although modest in elevation, relief is significant as it rises over 5,000 feet (1,500 m) in less than one mile from the immense Childs Glacier.
The peak was named in 1910 by Lawrence Martin for Alfred Williams, assistant engineer for the Copper River and Northwestern Railway which built a $1,500,000 steel bridge across the Copper River near this mountain in 1909-1910.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Williams is located a subpolar oceanic climate zone, with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool summers.

The Haus zur Goldenen Waage was a medieval half-timbered house in the old town of Frankfurt am Main, which was destroyed in the air raid on March 22, 1944.
Then in 1972/73, during the construction of the subway station Dom / Römer, the Archaeological Garden was created, allowing access to excavations of the Roman settlement on Cathedral hill and the Carolingian Royal Palace Frankfurt.
In 2007, reconstruction of parts of the former old town became part of the Dom-Römer Project, which included the rebuilding of the Goldenen Waage.
There are plans to open the restored building to the public in 2019, along with a café and a local office of the Historical Museum.
There was also a house called Junge Hölle (Young Hell), located on the eastern side of Höllgasse, directly opposite Alte Hölle (Old Hell).
Most of the houses on this side of the street were built with overhangs, which meant the first floor was on the property of the cathedral - much to the annoyance of the cathedral administration.
The first legal case was recorded in 1299, when the goldsmith Colmann came into conflict with the clergy because his house was located on the eastern side of Höllgasse.
The complaints of the war reached the city, that was filled with refugees, too: From 1634 to 1636 almost 14,000 people died during the years of the Plague.During peacful times Frankfurt had around 15,000 inhabitants, of whom many were refugees.
When Widow Hamel died on July 25 1655, her outstanding debts were as high as 60,000 Gulden and her real estate properties were highly indebted too.
As a consequence of these high debts, her heirs sold the Haus zur Goldenen Waage and the Alte Hölle for 8,500 Gulden to a tradesman from Frankfurt called Wilhelm Sonnemann.
The owners changed many times over the next few centuries: 1655-1699 it belonged to the Barckhausen family, 1699-1748 to the Grimmeisen merchants and from 1748-1862 to Von der Lahr family.
In 1928 the Historical Museum furnished the house in the style of a typical townhouse in Frankfurt around the 18th century.
The first airstrikes that hit Frankfurt up to 1942 did not do much damage however the Union of Old Town Frankfurt decided to keep a written record with photos of the whole existing building stock from summer 1942 onwards.
All parts of the old town between Frankfurt Cathedral and Römer including the were destroyed during the airstrike on 22nd March 1944 .The house collapsed to its sandstone pedestal because the beautiful timber frame was burning.
major artworks exhibited by the museum survived the war without any damage because they were brought to other places before the attacks.
A simplified reconstruction of the building (similar to the reconstruction of the ) would have been possible because of the existing inventory and the intact foundation walls but the city removed the ruins completely until 1950.
The arcades of the Goldene Waage were sold to a private investor from Götzenhain, who built himself a private library for his villa.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the city started planning the future design of the old town area by the cathedral, later known as the Dom-Römer Project.
In 2005 - more than 60 years after the destruction of the old town - both the inhabitants and the city council had a preference for the most exact possible restoration of the historical site with alleys, squares and courtyards, as well as the reconstruction of individual houses significant for town-planning.
In order to keep the excavations of the archaeological garden accessible, a superstructure was to be built, in which larger struts had to be incorporated.
Further research was necessary to establish, for example, whether the historical level of the streets and ground floors could be maintained.
The current building regulations had to be observed for each reconstruction, especially with regard to fire protection, energy efficiency and the possibility of safe escape routes.
A specialist company in Lemgo was hired for the reconstruction of the half-timbered facade, for which around 100 cubic meters of old oak from historic buildings was reused.
In December 2017, the facade of the new building (der äußerlich fertiggestellte Neubau) was completed, including the restored half-timbered facade, the Renaissance ceiling and the Belvedere, and presented at a press conference.
Entering the first door of the building, you reached a small rectangular yard which was open to the sky to the rear.
Furthermore, a pump could be seen straight ahead when facing the western wall, though it was not working at the time the house was bought by the city.
Hamel still stored his goods in this room, later owners used it, among other things, as a stable for the horses, as proven by the mangers which were added later.
At the southern side one could reach the low intermediate storey, known as a Bobbelage, via a magnificently-crafted stairway (as can be seen in the image).
The parapet was designed in the same style as the guard rail and was intercepted by a solid red sandstone pillar with an ionic capital as high as the room.
This consists of two medallions framed by two strips of stucco, the eastern one depicting a female statue, scales and a sword, the western another female figure holding two snakes.
According to an inventory in 1635, it was once used as a kitchen but is now, along with the room behind it, a library for the museum.
The surface of Lake Aberdeen is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally from late December to early March.
The mouth of Aberdeen Lake is located northwest of the limit of the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve, northeast from the center of the village of Lac-Édouard, at south-east of Ventadour Lake, at south-east of Grand lac Macousine and east of Saint-Henri Lake.
It also has five bays, two on the north side, one to the west where a few chalets have been built and two bays on the south side, one of which is to the southeast where the outlet of the lake is located.
From the mouth of this lake, the current descends on in following the course of the Aberdeen River generally towards the southwest, then the current merges with the rivière aux Castors Noirs by first crossing on on lac aux Biscuits.
Finally, the current flows into the upper part of the Batiscan River which goes southward to the north-west shore of Saint Lawrence river.

Vasily Ivanovich Bakalov (; 18 April 1929 – 25 January 2020) was a Soviet and later Russian military engineer and designer who worked on the designs of armoured vehicle defence systems and anti-tank guided missiles.
Born in 1929, Bakalov served during the Second World War in his youth, drawing on his experience with , a voluntary organization promoting water safety and work, while crewing vessels to transport military personnel, civilians and weapons.
After a period as a machinist in the marine salvage department after the war, he studied at the Leningrad Electrotechnical Institute of Communications, graduating with honours and starting a career as a design engineer at the TsKB-14 design bureau in Tula.
Working on guided rocket weapons, Bakalov rose to senior design and management positions, eventually becoming the bureau's chief engineer and overseeing the development of anti-tank guided missiles such as the 9M113 Konkurs, 9K115-2 Metis-M, 9M117 Bastion, and 9M119 Svir/Refleks, and the guided artillery shells 2K25 Krasnopol and 2K22 Tunguska.
In 1978 he was appointed head and chief designer of TsKIB SOO, where he remained until his retirement in September 1997.
Bakalov oversaw significant developments in the company's organizational structure, which soon achieved a high reputation for the quality of its products.
The Soviet team for the shooting competitions at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow all used weapons designed and manufactured by TsKIB SOO.
Among the designs developed under his supervision was the Drozd active protection system for tanks and armoured vehicles for use against anti-tank missiles and rocket-propelled grenades.
Bakalov was born on 18 April 1929 in the village of , in Central Black Earth Oblast, then part of the RSFSR, in the Soviet Union.
His father moved the family to a city in the 1930s seeking work, and the young Bakalov joined , a voluntary organization promoting water safety and work.
With the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, Bakalov and other OSVOD members were called up to support the war effort by crewing vessels to transport military personnel, civilians and weapons.
In 1948 Bakalov enrolled in the Electrical Engineering College in Alma-Ata, graduating with honours, and then entering the Leningrad Electrotechnical Institute of Communications.
He was awarded a Stalin scholarship in his second year, and also worked as a laboratory assistant at the Budyonny Military Academy of the Signal Corps.
He took part in student life and the institute, becoming head of the student scientific society and a member of the scientific council.
Bakalov graduated with honours in 1957 and went to Tula with his wife, arriving on 5 August 1957 to work as a design engineer at the TsKB-14 design bureau, later the KBP Instrument Design Bureau.
The bureau was in the process of creating a division to develop guided rocket weapons and Bakalov distinguished himself in this field.
In 1960 he became head of the laboratory, and in 1961 head of his design department, followed by his appointment in 1968 as first deputy chief and chief designer, and then chief engineer of the KBP Instrument Design Bureau.
Bakalov's work revolved around the development of anti-tank guided missiles, overseeing projects including the anti-tank guided missiles 9M113 Konkurs, 9K115-2 Metis-M, 9M117 Bastion, and 9M119 Svir/Refleks, and the guided artillery shells 2K25 Krasnopol and 2K22 Tunguska.
In November 1978 he was appointed head and chief designer of TsKIB SOO, where he remained until his retirement in September 1997.
Bakalov oversaw significant developments in the company's organizational structure, which soon achieved a high reputation for the quality of its products.
The Soviet team for the shooting competitions at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow all used MTs brand weapons designed and manufactured by TsKIB SOO.
Among the designs developed under his supervision was the Drozd active protection system for tanks and armoured vehicles for use against anti-tank missiles and rocket-propelled grenades.
In addition to his focus on the technical and business-related side of his work at the bureau, he also interested himself in the social side.
The lac des Trois Caribous is the main body of water on the slope of the rivière aux Castors Noirs, located in Haute-Batiscanie in the unorganized territory of Lac-Croche, in the La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, in Canada.
The surface of Lac des Trois Caribous is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally from late December to early March.
Tilney Bay, which forms the northwest part of the lake, receives discharge from the Faiseur de Pluie and Adélard-Harvey lakes from the west.

Nguyễn Xí (Hán: 阮熾; 1397-1465 ) or Lê Xí, a general, politician, a public servant of the country of Hau Le and a great minister who spent 4 generations King of the Late Lê Dynasty was dubbed the military genius in history Vietnam.
Nguyen Hop moved his house to live in Thuong Xa village, Chan Phuc district, now Khanh Hop commune, Nghi Loc district, Nghe An.
Father and son Nguyen Hoi and Nguyen Bien often sold salt in Luong Giang area, Thieu Hoa district - Thanh Hoa, so very familiar with Le Loi at that time as a tutor in Lam Son.
In the same year, his father was tortured to death in his home town of Thuong Xa, he followed him to become Le Loi family.
Le Loi ordered him to raise more than 100 hunting dogs, he used the music as a signal, the dogs obeyed, when they came, they went like each other.
Le Loi praised and believed that he was talented as a general and gave him the wrong command of the army of Thiet Đot.
In 1418, spring, January, Canh Than day, Le Loi proclaimed Binh Dinh king to launch the Lam Son uprising, Nguyen Xi and Nguyen Bien brother joined him, at that time he was 22 years old.
On January 16, the renegade Ai led the Ming army to take a shortcut, fight behind him, arrest the family of Le Loi and many of his wife and children.
Depressed soldiers left, only Le Xi and Le Le, Le Nao, Le Bi and Le Bike followed Le Loi to take refuge in Chi Linh Mountain.
In August 1426, after mastering from Thanh Hoa to Thuan Hoa, Le Loi divided his troops to the generals to make three northern wings.
Pham Van Xao, Do Bi, Trinh Kha, Le Trien to the Northwest, Luu Nhan Chu and Bui Be to the Northeast; Dinh Le and Nguyen Xi attacked Dong Guan.
Hearing that the Ming army in Yunnan was about to arrive, Triet divided his troops with Pham Van Xao, Trinh Kha to intercept Yunnan troops, and Triet and Do Bi joined with Dinh Le and Nguyen Xi troops to attack Dong Quan (Thang Long, Hanoi).
Nguyễn Xí captured Vương Thông's detective, who knew that he planned to divide the way and that when the cannon exploded, the front and back soldiers finally defeated Le Trien.
He and Dinh Le went to plan to entice Thong into an ambush into the cave of Good Dong, then set up a fake cannon to signal the Ming army to enter.
After that, he again joined forces in the battle of Xuong Giang to help Le Sat to capture Hoang Phuc, and Cui Tu was an army of survivors after Lieu Thang was slashed.
Nguyen Xi was conferred the rank of Dragon Tiger, General Hieu, who told the righteousness of the princess and the privilege of opening the country.
In 1429, when carving the sea of ​​courtiers, Nguyễn Xí was ranked in the fifth rank, conferred the title of Most District, and granted the King's National Committee.
In 1442, the emperor Le Thai Tong died at the age of 20, he and Trinh Kha, Le Thu received the emancipation of emperor Le Nhan Tong.
In 1445, Emperor Nhan Tong was a young, Queen Nguyen Thi Anh regent, he entered the Admiral, received orders with Le Than to bring troops to fight Chiem Thanh, but if not gone, the right to denounce sins should be abolished.
In October 1459, he was different from Nhan Tong's mother, Lang Son, King Le Nghi Dan, as a mutiny to kill Queen Nguyen Thi Anh and Emperor Nhan Tong.
Thai security told Nguyen Xi to discuss with Le Lang (Le Trien's son), Le Niem (Le Lai's grandson) to make a coup again to overthrow Nghi Dan.
On June 6 of the lunar calendar in 1460, Nguyen Xi launched a mutiny, slashed at Nghi Dan's close servants, Pham Don, Phan Ban in the Street Agenda, seized the forbidden army, closed the gates tightly, and ordered Le Ninh Thuan to arrest them.
besieged and deposed Emperor Thien Hung as Le Duc Hau, and took the youngest son of Thai Tong Tu Thanh to the throne, the emperor Le Thanh Tong, opening a period of prosperity lasting 38 years.
In June 1460, Nguyễn Xí was appointed as an official of the People's Committee, Entering the State's Office of the Vice Principal of the Military Medal of A County, serving as a civil servant, giving a bag of gold and silver, and a silver seal.
In 1462, Nguyen Xi's son, Nguyen Su Hoi, did not agree with a number of high-ranking mandarins, so he wrote poems and threw them on the street to slander them but rebelled them.
In 1485 Lê Thánh Tông ordained Father Nguyễn Xí to become a crown prince to Duke Nguyễn Hội and his brother Phiêu cavalry Lieutenant General Nguyễn Thái.
In addition to all the titles of general and martial; Before and after, I kept studying as a child and a child.
In countless words and poems praising him, there were words of the first intelligent army Le Thanh Tong, Poinsettia Nguyen Truc, scientist Le Qui Don, scientist Phan Huy Chu, King Tu Duc, and great love.
On the 30th of the first lunar month every year, at the temple of Nguyen Xi, in Nghi Hop commune, Nghi Loc district, Nghe An province (an ancient temple, large scale and architectural value, built today 546 year, national heritage), organized the Nguyen Xi Temple Festival.
His name was given to a street in Hanoi, Nguyen Xi Street connecting Dinh Le Street to Trang Tien Street (during the French colonial period, Boa-xi-e street, rue Boissière).
The Nguyen Dinh family has a total of 15 large genera, the main church of their family is the Temple of Grand Master Cuong Quoc Nguyen Xi in Nghi Hop, Nghi Loc and Nghe An communes.
Up to now, the Nguyen Dinh family has expanded widely throughout the country, including abroad, but the most concentrated is in Nghi Loc district, Nghe An province.
The Nguyen Dinh family is one of the glorious families in the feudal regime of Vietnam, especially prosperous in the field of martial arts.
In the ancient capital of Hue, he was worshiped in the Temple of Emperor Emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, considered to be the nation's first patriarch, the illustrious General was registered by the historical dynasties.
On the occasion of the Nguyễn Xí Temple Festival 2012, the tomb area of ​​the father, mother, and the tomb of Grand Master Cuong, the princess Nguyen Xi, has been upgraded to be bigger and more beautiful with funding of over 2 billion dongs from descendants and tourists from near and far.
He used to be a Member of Executive Committee of Central Committee of Vietnamese Communist Party, course X, course XI, Secretary of Thai Nguyen Provincial Party Committee, Hung Yen.
But the story most often circulated is the story of Mr. Hoang Muoi's birth into Nguyen Xi, a good general under King Le Thai To, who helped the king to defeat the Minh invaders.

Percival Albert Trompf was born on 30 May 1902 in Beaufort, Victoria, the ninth child of Henry Alexander Trompf, a fruiterer, and his wife Catherine Amelia, née Elliott.
In 1923, Trompf began designing confectionery boxes and wrappings for Giles & Richards, a Melbourne firm of commercial artists, before setting up his own studio in Little Collins Street, painting and designing thousands of advertising posters, usually of 25 x 40 inches (64 x 102 cm) format, and 24-sheet advertising hoardings, for which Trompf supervised all stages of production, including the lithographic printing.
Holmes had recognising the successful use of poster advertising by the London Underground's Frank Pick, and hired Trompf for a similar campaign in the 1920s.
For the latter Trompf produced posters targeted at a limited number overseas who could afford travel, and their designs and content reflect this niche market.
His clientele reduced during the 1950s to the Queensland Government Tourist Bureau, the Commonwealth Railways, and Victorian Education Department for road safety posters.
Poster design declined in the 1960s as magazines and travel institutions increasingly used more affordable colour photography rather than specially commissioning graphic illustrations, for the sake of faster turn-around and for more persuasive realism.
Trompf enjoyed a growing reputation alongside other poster artists James Northfield, Walter Jardine, Eileen Mayo, Gert Sellheim and C. Dudley Wood.
In 1985, surveying Australian representations of beach culture, historian Geoffrey Dutton equates Trompf to Max Dupain, Charles Conder and Sydney Nolan.
The colour lithography that Trompf used produced bold, simplified realism in an Art Deco style, with wide appeal, especially during the Great Depression.
Posters exhorted Australians to travel by rail, to eat more fruit to the benefit of the country's struggling primary producers and, against competition from cars and buses contributing to unsustainable rail service deficits, they sought to promote diversity of purposes for travel that might provide new sources of revenue.
In recent evaluations, Gilfedder, in analysing, as a sample, the visual rhetoric of Trompf's poster for the British market featuring Captain Cook's landing at Botany Bay to invite the traveler to 'Discover Australia', concludes that such travel posters were early instances of 'country branding'.
Symes perceives that railway posters of this period using state-of-the-art techniques of the new field of commercial art developed Victoria's tourist geography, locating, labelling, visualising and imbuing places and regions with specific recreational and leisure attributes and Pocock attributes such responsibility, on a whole-of-Australia scale, to Trompf's 1933 poster in advancing the Great Barrier Reef as one of the most significant tourist destinations.
Barnes cites Trompf’s Commonwealth Railway poster as applying an American aesthetic in depicting Central Australia; replacing North American pueblos with Australian indigenous ‘Arunta' men.
Juxtaposing modern, white, explorers-cum-tourists with 'primitive natives’ each in formulaic groupings, positions and postures, the colonial figures and their vehicles are given centre- and stage-right to symbolise progress, while Aboriginal men are diminished in scale and backgrounded to represent their servility and symbolic position in the past.
The nostalgic attractiveness and historical interest of Trompf's posters endure; they are frequently included in public exhibitions, they have become collectible national treasures and they fetch up to $A12,000 at auction.

William Ritchie Chalmers (11 February 1912 – 7 October 1943) was a Scottish professional footballer who played mainly as an inside left.
He played in the Scottish League for Raith Rovers and made nearly 200 appearances in the English Football League for Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic and Barrow.
Birrell's successor, Jimmy Logan, praised Chalmers' performances for the A team during the 1931–32 season, and gave him a debut in the senior eleven, but at the end of the campaign Logan gave him a free transfer.
Chalmers applied for reinstatement as a junior, and was expected to join Fife League champions Rosslyn Juniors, but instead he again signed for Birrell, this time at English Third Division South club Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic.
Chalmers made his Football League debut on 17 December 1932 away to Gillingham, and played in the last three matches of that season.
He returned to the first team in November 1933 and was a regular at inside left for the rest of the season.
A splintered bone in his leg kept him out for some weeks in the middle of the 1935–36 season and meant he missed the FA Cup third-round visit to Bradford City, which Bournemouth lost 1–0.
After a 1936–37 season in which he rarely missed a match, he lost his place through injury in December 1937 and rarely appeared again, William O'Brien being preferred at inside left.
He was used as much at outside left, the position he had played as a youngster in Scotland, as at inside left, played 36 league matches, scored twice, and helped Barrow improve from a position of needing to apply for re-election to the League in 1938 to a mid-table finish.
He played in the first three matches of the 1939–40 season, and converted a penalty in a 2–2 draw with Bradford City in the third of those, before competitive football was abandoned when war was declared.
He had made cocoa for the night watch before being taken ill; an ambulance was called in the early hours, but he died on the way to hospital.
A post mortem attributed death to an irritant poison, believed to have been phosphorus, which was used in the officers' mess to kill beetles but to which Chalmers had no access.
Giving evidence at the inquest, Chalmers' captain described him as a good soldier of temperate habits and a good athlete; his sergeant said that everyone had drunk the cocoa and none had become unwell.

St Thomas à Becket Church, sometimes referred to as St Thomas of Canterbury's Church and known until 1796 as the Church of Our Lady, is the Church of England parish church of Warblington in Hampshire, England.
Warblington is now a suburban area within the South Hampshire conurbation, and the church is about from the centre of Havant, the nearest large town, but St Thomas à Becket Church stands in a secluded area between a major trunk road and an inlet of the English Channel.
Until the 19th century, when the parish was subdivided, the church served a large area including the nearby town of Emsworth.
The parishes of Warblington and Emsworth have now been reunited, and regular services are held both at Warblington and at St James's Church in Emsworth.
The original centre of population was a small cluster of houses further south, surrounded by fields and next to a creek between Chichester and Langstone Harbours.
They were close to a large farm (still extant), the manor house—now ruined, and known as Warblington Castle—and the original church.
The population shift, where the core of the village moved north towards the present-day A27 trunk road, has been attributed to the growth of nearby Emsworth, which was always larger; the Black Death; and Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick's creation of a deer park around the manor house during the time he was Lord of the manor.
The manor of Warblington (then named Warbliteton) was mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086, by which time the church was already in existence.
It stood on the site of the present building's chancel, and the only surviving fabric from this Saxon building is the second (middle) stage of the present tower.
The church was rebuilt in much larger form in or slightly before 1200; some work was also carried out later in the 13th century.
Dating from this period are a three-bay nave with north and south aisles and arcades, and the upper storey of the tower (not yet topped by its present shingled spire).
The lowest stage of the tower was opened out when the original nave was converted into a chancel; but later in the 13th century this was demolished and replaced with the present chancel, which is much larger and has a vestry at one corner.
The significant enlargement of the church may have been prompted by the growth at that time of Emsworth, always the main settlement in the parish, which became a port in the 13th century.
Also in the late 13th or early 14th century, the chancel floor was laid with glazed encaustic tiles similar to those at nearby Titchfield Abbey.
A door and timber-framed porch were built on to the north aisle in the 15th century, and another door was added at the west end a century later.
People in Emsworth had to travel the to Warblington to worship until 1789–90, when a chapel of ease was built in the town's market place.
Also in 1840, part of the parish of Warblington was transferred to the newly formed parish of Redhill (present-day Rowland's Castle), where a chapel of ease in Havant parish had been built in 1837–38.
In 1829–30 the church authorities employed local builders Benjamin Chase and James Cullis to build huts for grave-watchers at the northwest and southeast corners of the churchyard.
Later in the 19th century, local architect J. H. Ball made some structural changes to the church, although the extent of the restoration was not significant.
He replaced some of the 13th-century lancet windows, added an organ chamber on the north side of the chancel (moving a lancet window from the chancel and resetting it there), added the small spire, altered the east window and re-roofed the chancel.
Although fire damage was confined to pews at the front of the church, smoke affected the whole building, damaging the organ and pulpit in particular.
A programme of conservation and restoration work lasting several months took place to clean soot and smoke particles from the walls, ceiling beams, floor tiles, windows, arcade pillars and memorials using materials such as limewash and latex.
The uppermost stage, topped with a shingled spire added during the Victorian era, contains one bell and has paired lancet windows.
Flanking the nave are the aisles with arcades of differing appearance, despite being built around the same time in the 13th century.
Some of the windows on the south side retain their original surrounds but were replaced in the 14th or 15th century.
Between the vestry and the chancel is a squint with a sliding panel, allowing the altar to be viewed from the vestry.
On the walls are several cartouches of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, at least one signed by J. Morey, a member of a family of sculptors who is buried in the churchyard.
There is also a monumental brass of the late 16th century, depicting Raffe Smalpage (Henry Wriothesley, 2nd Earl of Southampton's personal chaplain) kneeling at a desk.
They are of galleted flint with red-brick dressings and quoins, hipped roofs laid with slate tiles, and pointed arched entrances and windows with shutters.
The southeastern hut has a stone chimney; the northwestern hut lacks one but is larger, having been extended, and was also used as a tool-shed.
As of February 2001, it was one of two Grade I listed buildings, and 239 listed buildings of all grades, in the Borough of Havant.
As of 2020 St Thomas à Becket Church holds a twice-monthly Holy Communion service, a weekly Matins (replaced once per month by another Holy Communion service) and a monthly evening service.

Koczwara learned about the rhino-poaching crisis while he was on a photo safari through the South African Greater Kruger National Park.
They build and operate these elite units together with experts from South Africa and Zimbabwe where 80% of rhinos are living.
In all of their actions, they cooperate with African law enforcement authorities, which have the legal powers to legitimize the conducted actions.
The blame for the poaching is therefore not to be found in the local population, for whom the poaching is usually the last possibility for the financial provision of the family.

Koohestani calls Hearing his most political and social piece so far, because it deals with living conditions of women, the life in dormitories and the situation of political refugees.
He was nominated at the Electoral College of 23–25 September 2016 to be the second Pīhopa o (Bishop of) Te Pīhopatanga o Te Waipounamu.

The is an archaeological site with the ruins of an Asuka period Buddhist temple located in what is now the city of Okazaki, Aichi, Japan.
The actual name of the temple is unknown, and no structures of the original temple exists, but the temple grounds were designated as a National Historic Site by the Japanese government in 1929.
The site is located located on the southeastern edge of the Hekikai Plateau on the right bank of the Yahagi River.
An excavation survey conducted in 1964 a survey related to the development of a historic park found the foundations of a pagoda, the Lecture Hall, and fragments other structures, including the Middle Gate and South Gate.
The condition of many of these foundations was found to be very poor, so in many causes the exact size and position of the buildings could only be estimated, but the layout was similar to that of Shitenno-ji in Osaka.
From the side of the foundation, the height of the pagoda can be estimated to be 11.35 meters, or roughly the same size as the pagoda at Hōryū-ji in Nara.
The Kondo was 15.3 meters by 12.2 meters, and the Lecture Hall was 30.15 meters x 16.25 meters and was an eight x four bay hall.
The excavated artifacts included roof tiles, tile towers, iron nails, Sue ware pottery, ash-glazed pottery, and fragments of Buddhist statuary The style of roof tiles appears strongly influenced by Goguryeo, and is unique to the area.
One of the artifacts found was a bronze casket decorated similar to one found at the Shōsōin in Nara, indicating that this temple had some connection with either the Korean peninsula or the Asian continent.

The is an archaeological site with the ruins of a Nara period Buddhist temple located in what is now the city of Toyota, Aichi, Japan.
The temple no longer exists but the ruins of the foundation of its pagoda was designated as a National Historic Site by the Japanese government in 1929.
The site is located on a hill on the left bank of the Kagogawa River, and takes its name from the local hamlet, as the original name of the temple is unknown.
The roof tiles appear to be of the same design and origin as the Kitano temple ruins, located further south in Aichi Prefecture.
The cornerstone of pagoda has a diameter of 1.6 meters with an almost circular 15-cm diameter granite core, surrounded by three stones which may have been cornerstones.
Aside from the pagoda foundation, the remainder of the site is in very poor condition and an excavation survey conducted by the Toyota City Board of Education in 2002 found nothing of consequence.

He decided to follow the example of his vegetarian wife Debbie and daughter Tammy after observing the inhumane conditions in a working pig farming facility built by his own construction firm.
Wally and Debbie created meat substitutes in their Durban home for personal consumption to help Wally adapt to his new meat-free diet.
As public demand for vegan food in South Africa was marginal at the time, the company had to innovate as a manufacturer in a new market.
In 1998 the company began exporting its meat substitutes from South Africa to Australia, where its headquarters have been based since 2014. its frozen food products, which are manufactured in a custom-built factory in Durban and by a contractor in Cornwall, are sold by supermarket chains and other retailers in over 30 countries.

Annie O'Keefe was an Indonesian woman and one of 15,000 people who were evacuated to Australia from nearby countries during World War II and given sanctuary.
She married an Australian, believing that the marriage would also allow her remain, but the government issued a deportation order for Annie and the children in January 1949.
This was because she had not formally been given the status of a prohibited immigrant when she was allowed to enter Australia with a certificate of exemption, so the expiration of the certificate did not make her liable to deportation as a prohibited immigrant.
The case proved the Aliens Deportation Act 1948 a failure, leading the Minister for Immigration Arthur Calwell to push forward with the War-time Refugees Removal Act 1949.

The cognitive ecology of individual recognition has been studied in many species, especially in primates or other mammalian species that exhibit complex social behaviours, but very little research has been done on colonial birds.
If we were to define individual recognition, it would imply that a given individual has the capacity to discriminate a familiar individual from another one at any given time.
It is believed that in many species, group size is often a representation of social complexity, with higher social complexity demanding higher cognitive capabilities.
The logic behind this hypothesis is based on the principle that larger group size will require a higher degree of complexity in their interactions.
In primates, it has been shown that relative brain size, when controlling for the size of the species and the phylogeny, seemed to correlate with the size of the social group.
However, when reproducing such experiments in non-primate species, like with reptiles, birds and even other mammalian species, the correlation between brain size and social group size does not seems to exist.
Further research looking at bird cognitive ecology demonstrated that social complexity is a more reliable proxy for brain size, as it relies not only on the number of individuals but also on the degree of social interactions and more.
Being able to identify your mate is not all, recognition can also help in the context of mate selection as individual recognition allows birds to avoid inbreeding with conspecifics.
In the case of storm petrels, individual relatedness is assessed based on olfactory signatures that allow them to distinguish closely related individuals from non-related ones.
The capacity of an individual to identify conspecifics is not only used to avoid inbreeding, but can also be used in order to help closely related individuals.
Such instances can be seen in scrub jays, who's offspring stay after fledging in order to help raise the next brood.
Being able to recognize your own chick is essential in many colonial bird species as chicks can wander around and mix up with others' chicks.
Feeding the wrong chick would result in high cost for the parent with little to no benefit for their own reproductive success.
In herring gulls, chicks can be found wandering around the colony only a few days after hatching from the egg, creating a need for the parent to recognize its own chick.
However, in order to have evolved, recognition needs to be beneficial not only for one side, but for both sides, meaning that the chick has to be able to recognize its parents as well.
Still looking at herring gulls, chicks will often hide when the parents are not present in order to avoid being predated on by other adult herring gulls or any other predator.
In the case of bird species that raise many offspring at once, chicks that are able to recognize their parents may also increase their begging rate and therefore obtain more food in return.
It has been believed for a long time that birds had a very bad sense of smell, but recent studies have demonstrated that some species of birds such as the procellariiformes have a quite developed sense of smell.
In burrowing species such as in puffins, auks and petrels, smells seem to be at the basis of mate and nest recognition.
The procellariiformes, also known as tubed-noses, are one of the best studied groups when it comes to olfaction as they seem to have a quite developed sense of smell.
A study done on storm petrels showed that not only do petrels use olfaction in order to find their burrow and their mate, but that they are also aware of their own smell.
Petrels nest in dense colonies and use the smell of their mate or their own smell in order to find their burrow and avoid entering the wrong burrow.
Such a mechanism of recognition has also been shown in auks as they mostly fly at night, keeping them from using spatial memory in order to find their burrow.
Concerning chick recognition in burrowing birds, a researcher called Eduardo Minguez (1997) showed that there was no chick recognition in storm petrels.
One of the advantages of burrow nesting is that your chick is confined in the burrow until it is ready to fledge, eliminating the need for chick recognition.
There are few instances of burrowing birds that have the mechanism of chick recognition, but as recognition is a costly mechanism, it tends to be lost in many bird species for which it is not necessary.
Recognition based on acoustic signatures has been demonstrated in many bird species such as in penguins, swallows, gulls, razorbills and more.
They found that chicks could identify their parents based on an acoustic signature specific to the pattern of the call as well as the frequency of the parents call.
A similar study done on black-headed gulls in 2001 obtained similar results supporting that the acoustic signatures of parents' calls is most likely based on a redundant pattern and the frequency of the call with no effect regarding the amplitude.
This study also supported that the mechanism of acoustic recognition is most likely the same in most species within Laridae, the gull family.
This lack of recognition is most likely the result of cliff nesting, as chicks cannot explore far from the nest and get mixed with other chicks.
Razorbills exhibit parent-offspring recognition, but research has shown that only males and chicks exhibit such behaviour, meaning that females do not recognize their chick and vice versa.
However, when the chick will fledge, the only the male will bring the chick out at sea and will keep caring for its chicks for a little while after fledging, creating the need to be able to recognize its own chick.

Its first chairman was John La Rose, and it initially received funding from the Inner London Education Authority before that was shut down by Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government in 1989.
It forms one of a set of public parks established in the 1930s by Captain Arnold Sandys-Winsch, and was built by unemployed men using government funding.
When the current park was opened in 1933, it was considered to be the finest park in East Anglia, with a pavilion in the style of Moderne architecture, a bandstand, sports facilities, gardens and a children's playground as part of its design.
Waterloo Park owes its existence to the work of the Norwich Playing Fields and Open Spaces Society, which saw how the urban population in the Angel Road area of the city was increasing rapidly, and so worked with the authorities to preserve land for use as a recreational space.
A new park, known at that time as the Catton Recreation Ground, was opened in May 1904, and included gardens created by local schoolchildren.
In 1911, a proposal was made by the manufacturer Edwards & Holmes to build a shoe factory on land at Waterloo Park, an idea which never materialised.
The park was completely redesigned in 1929 by Captain Arnold Sandys-Winsch, originally from Cheshire, who had been appointed as the Norwich City Parks and Gardens Superintendent in 1919.
By the time he had retired in 1956, Sandys-Winsch had helped to create of urban parks and open spaces, and 20,000 trees.
After one air raid, the bodies of factory workers from across the other side of the city arrived at the park under police escort, to the horror of people using the nearby tennis courts, who had been unaware of the raid that had happened.
Waterloo Park and its pavilion, pagodas, bandstand and front gates are all designated as Grade II* listed structures, due to the park being considered to be a good example of an early twentieth century municipal park.
Since the 1960s, some of the facilities have been modified, so that original features such as the school garden and the moat around the edge of the central garden no longer exist.
In 1962, £1000 was spent by the council in renovating the pavilion, an expense which was criticized by the local press at the time.
The work done by the Countryside Commission in the early 1970s failed to provide for the needs of urban parks in the UK, and after losing its permanent team of dedicated staff, the buildings and landscape within Waterloo Park started to deteriorate.
The park was amongst the earliest to be placed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England, when it was included on the list in 1993.
In 2000, Norwich City Council was amongst the first recipients to succeed in obtaining funds from the Urban Parks Programme of the Heritage Lottery Fund to restore its historic parks.
In 2015, Norwich City Council resolved to deal with problems with the water-damaged roof of the pavilion by spending £210,000 on repairs that year, and £40,000 during 2016/17.
In 2017, after the main repairs had been completed, the restored pavilion was reopened as a café, as part of an enterprise to assist low-risk prisoners and ex-offenders to gain work experience.
Working in partnership with the council, Britannia Enterprises planned to help maintain and restore the park as well as run the café.
In 2018 the Friends of Waterloo Park was set up, with the initial aim of bringing more sporting opportunities, children's activities and live music to the park.
The park also has a children's playground, tennis courts, and open areas once used to play cricket and hockey, as well as toilet facilities.
The flowerbeds, which once contained roses and annuals that were very expensive to maintain, now have plants that can be sustained ecologically, as they are perennials.
The film follows Hank after his longtime girlfriend Abby leaves town unannounced, as he discovers that a mysterious creature has begun stalking him every night.

Qapik Attagutsiak (born 11 June 1920) is the last known surviving contributor to the war effort in Inuit communities during World War II, particularly the drive to collect animal bones and carcasses for the Allied munitions effort.
She began to learn midwifery from her mother when she was 10 years old, becoming a midwife when she was 18, and subsequently working as a seamstress.
She had 14 children with Attagutsiak, the first of which was born in 1939, and she adopted two more after Attagutsiak's death in 1984.
Qapik was 20 years old when news of World War II reached her community in 1940, and she is now the last known surviving member of the Inuit wartime efforts during World War II.
During World War II, the Government of Canada and the Department of Munitions and Supply instituted the National Resources Mobilization Act, encouraging citizens to salvage as much waste as possible, with the goal of repurposing used materials like metal, rubber, and paper into wartime munitions.
Because these materials were not abundant in the Canadian Arctic, instead Inuit communities began to collect animal bones and carcasses to be shipped down to industrial cities and ports for use in the ongoing munitions drive.
One center of the bone and carcass collection efforts was a springtime hunting camp on an island called Qaipsunik, near Igloolik in contemporary Nunavut.
The members of the camp collected about three bags of animal bones and carcasses per day from 1940 through 1945, where each bag weighed about 125 pounds.
The bags were packaged by older members of the community, and then existing Hudson's Bay Company shipping routes were used to transport the bags to southern Canadian ports in cities like Montreal and Halifax where the materials were processed into ammunition, glue for aircraft, or fertilizer for the Canadian war effort.
In January 2020, a ceremony in Gatineau was organised by Parks Canada and the Canadian Armed Forces at the Canadian Museum of History to honour Qapik's contributions as the only known surviving representative of the wartime efforts by Inuit communities during World War II.
She has also contributed to academic studies of health promotion, and the use of technology to improve health outcomes, among Inuit people living cities.
In 2014, a photo by Clare Kines that documented Qapik's traditional lifestyle was a finalist in the Global Arctic Awards International Photography Competition, and was exhibited internationally.

William Joseph Cosens Lancaster (1843–1922), known by the pseudonym Harry Collingwood, was a British civil engineer who wrote over 40 books, mostly in a nautical setting, in the boys’ adventure genre.
The Oxford Dictionary Of National Biography notes that most references, except his birth certificate, give his date of birth as 1851.
His application for Associate Membership of the Institution of Civil Engineers confirms this, showing his birth date as 23 May 1943.
However, this is impossible as the college only opened in 1873, and then only for those who had passed the exam for lieutenant.
This instution had over 210 boys on the rolls by 1865 and trained officers and men for both the Royal Navy and Merchant Marine.
In support of this contention is that the character Harry Collingwood in Lancaster's first book, states that he (Harry) was educated at the Royal Naval School at Greenwich.
In September 1860, at age 17, he began working as a pupil in the architectural office of G R Crickmay RIBA in Dorset.
He worked there in a range of posts until the end of 1870, by which time he was the Government Engineer and Surveyor for the Port District of Natal.
He returned to the UK in 1871 and worked on an eight-mile section of the Devon to London Railway for two years (the section of the London and South Western Railway from Okehampton to Lydford was under construction at this time).
In 1878, Lancaster married Kezia Hannah Rice Oxley (1848-1928), the fourth child of George Oxley, a provisions dealer, and Mary Rice.
He followed his father's example and became a Civil Engineer, and worked on the expansion of the Keyham Dockyard for Sir John Jackson Limited.
This pseudonym was chosen by the author in homage to Vice-Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood (whom Thackeray described as a virtuous Christian knight).
Lancaster's heros usually demonstrated the qualities of a virtuous Christian knight, so it is not surprising that many of his novels were published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge.
Lancaster reflected the prejudices of his time and class, and there are numerous examples of racism, ethnocentrism, sectarianism, and imperialist prejudices in his work.
Other recurrant themes in Lancaster's novels include storms, shipwreck, being castaway, piracy, slavery, buried treasure, long voyages in open boats, disasters at sea, derelict ships, and pearl fishing.
Lancaster was a keen yachtsman and yacht designer and the design of small craft to escape from isolated islands is a recurring theme in the novels.
However, the novels should not be taken as accurate portrayals of historical fact, as Lancaster changes event to suit the plot.
Numerous publishers have issued print-on-demand versions of his novels, and Amazon is offering over 80 different version of them for sale.

The abbey school still exists in the form of Reading School, a state grammar school, albeit in different buildings on a different site.
About 100 years after the abbey school occupied the hospitium, and after the dissolution of the monasteries, Reading town council created a new town hall by inserting an upper floor into the hospitium's refectory, leaving the lower floor to be used by the school.
This was the home of the town's administration for about 200 years, but the old refectory building eventually became structurally unsound.
Between 1785 and 1786, the refectory building was dismantled and replaced on the same site by the first of several phases of building that were to make up today's Town Hall.
The main building of the hospitium survived this demolition, and after various other uses, has now been incorporated into an office development, and is occupied by a children's nursery.
It abuts the main concert hall of Reading Town Hall to the west, and the south of the building opens directly onto the churchyard of St Laurence's Church.

Pseudojuloides cerasinus, the smalltail wrasse or the pencil wrasee, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a wrasse from the family Labridae.
It is found in the tropical Pacific Ocean and was previously considered to have a much wider distribution but the recognition of new species has reduced this wide range.
It included quarry workers, stonemasons, and paviours, although the quarry workers were always the strongest section, and the stonemasons later left to join the construction workers' union.
It was initially known for its high membership fees, but it reduced these, and by 1913, it had 13,920 members, more than 30% of the total workforce.
After World War I, employment in the industry declined, as mechanisation increased, but initially the union's membership continued to grow, reaching a peak of 25,752 in 1921.
After the war, the union was a founding constituent of the General Federation of Belgian Labour, but it emerged from the war much weakened, with fewer members than its communist rival.

Elaine Majorie Brody (née Breslow: December 4, 1922 – July 9, 2014) was an American gerontologist and sociologist, who studied cases on elderly Americans tended to by caregivers.
After graduating from the City College of New York, Brody left the University of Pittsburgh with a master's degree in social work.
She was employed as director of human resources and associate director at the Philadelphia Geriatric Center, which later expanded to researching the effects of aging elderly persons and their families.
Additionally, Brody taught psychiatry at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and served on several editorial boards of professional journals and review committees of multiple foundations.
Brody was born on December 4, 1922 in New York City, to dentist William J. Breslow and his bookkeeper and wife Frieda Horowitz.
In 1942. she graduated from City College of New York, and married future University of Pennsylvania aging and public policy expert Stanley J. Brody (died 1997) a year later.
While Brody's husband was serving in the United States Navy during World War II, he encouraged her to enroll in graduate school.
In 1957, she began seeking part-time employment in psychiatric social work with children, and wanted this arrangement so she could care for her own school age offspring in the afternoon.
Brody could not find work with children, and accepted a position as director of the department of human resources and associate director at the Philadelphia Geriatric Center (PGC) (now the Abramson Center for Jewish Life), a home for elderly Jewish women.
Brody assisted other researchers in transforming the PGC and its Polisher Institute to leaders in elderly care and gerontology by expanding from around 150 to 1,500 beds.
She also taught at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, serving as adjunct associate professor of social work in psychiatry, and was the Polisher Institute's associate director of research.
In 1969, she and M. Powell Lawton developed a disability measure called the Physical Self-Maintenance Scale to use in the planning and evaluation of treatment for elderly people in the community and institutions.
Brody led a $250,000 study on individualized treatment of elderly persons who were mentally impaired, and testified before the United States Senate Special Committee on Aging that same year, noting few studies on the aged population of the United States had been done in the prior 15 years.
In 1971, she was made head of a project to prepare a manual of long term care for the elderly for use by agency social workers, administrators, nurses, and physicians to help them understand the potential of social work in caring and treating the elderly.
The book has an overview of long-term care facilities and provided the reader with insights into the role of a facility social worker.
She became president of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) in 1980, becoming the fourth woman to serve in the role, and was named the winner of the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work's Distinguished Alumni Award two years later.
Brody conducted a study in 1986 that discovered 28 percent of females stayed at home to care for her elderly mothers and left the workforce to do so.
She advised employers to provide adaptable working hours, and provide them with bereavement leave had been a death in the affected person's family.
In the next year, the Medical College of Pennsylvania gave Brody an honorary doctorate, and retired from the PGC in 1988 after 31 years.
She was also made a distinguished Scholar of the National Academies of Practice, and from 1987 to 1992, was a member of the Congressional Advisory Panel on Alzheimer’s disease.
Brody also worked on multiple editorial boards of professional journals, and the review committee of the National Institute of Mental Health and other foundations and directed fifteen research studies on multiple issues that were funded by the federal state.
It examined pressures, trends and values that created problems in woman doing elderly care as they brought up their children at the same time.
Her research on elderly individuals contributed to the establishment of gerontology and her efforts serve as a precednt for researching this field.
She provided coverage of research, policy, and practice with her ability to combine the intersections of economic pressure and gender, and was informed of a resistance to family propaganda by being knowledgeable on the state of long-term care.
It is based on the story of Barbareek, who had enough power to turn the tide of the battle any way he wanted.
Wedgwood argued that Mandatory Palestine should, like New Zealand, Australia and the British territories, become a self-governing dominion within the British Commonwealth.
The Jews and Arabs in Mandatory Palestine should, Wedgwood argued, be allowed to form a bi-national Commonwealth just as the British and French inhabitants of Canada had been permitted to do.

Haraktor (also referred to as Deulbhita) is a village in the Para CD block in the Raghunathpur subdivision of the Purulia district in the state of West Bengal, India.
According to the 2011 Census of India, Haraktor had a total population of 1,309, of which 656 (50%) were males and 653 (50%) were females.
The images of Hara-Parbati, Jain Tirthankar, Gayetri, Lokeswar and Bishnu in different postures bear the architectural grace of the 10th century.
According to a news report, numerous statues related to Jainism and Hinduism found in the mound at Haraktor have led to the popular belief that there was a craft centre there.
Subash Roy, a history researcher, feels that the craft centre came up on the banks of the Harak River around the 9th century.
Many of the statues have been preserved in the Basanti temple, primarily as a result of the efforts of the local priest Sudhir Mishra.
Para Block Primary Health Centre, with 30 beds, at Para, is a major government medical facility in the Para CD block.

After heavy casualties in March 1944, it was first briefly reassembled in August 1944 and then reorganized into the 62nd Volksgrenadier Division, formed from units assembled for the planned 583rd Volksgrenadier Division, on 22 September 1944.
62nd Volksgrenadier Division remained operational until it was trapped in the Ruhr Pocket and forced to surrender by American forces in April 1945.
For the Invasion of Poland that started on 1 September 1939, 62nd Infantry Division started out in the reserves of Army Group South (Gerd von Rundstedt), but did not see combat during the campaign.
In October 1939, 62nd Infantry Division was assigned to VI Army Corps under 6th Army, then shifted to V Army Corps under 4th Army in December of that year.
The 62nd Infantry Division stayed part of V Army Corps until May 1940, when, in anticipation of the imminent Battle of France, 62nd Infantry Division was moved to XV Army Corps under 4th Army, now assigned to Army Group A.
In June, 62nd Infantry Division was transferred to V Army Corps, still under 6th Army, and thus moved army groups to Army Group B.
After the German victory in France, 62nd Infantry Division was moved to occupied Poland and assigned to III Army Corps under 18th Army.
From May to August 1941, 62nd Infantry Division was part of XVII Army Corps under 6th Army, and participated in the initial invasion of Operation Barbarossa as part of Army Group South.
The 62nd Infantry Division served with distinction during the encirclement of Kiev and distinguished itself with several days of very intense combat near Boryspil.
During the fighting at Boryspol, 405 officers and soldiers were killed and another 487 wounded, with an additional 166 missing, all in the period of just 19 September until 24 September.
Overall, the division had suffered 553 dead, 1,027 wounded and 182 missing over the course of September 1941, accounting for a casualty rate of 13% when compared to the divisional strength on 31 August.
The division was briefly reassigned to XVII Army Group under 6th Army in October, before again being pulled to the reserves by November to serve in the army group's rearguard.
The rear area of Army Group South was not yet of elevated operational importance (the focus on the southern sector would increase as the focus of the Wehrmacht's operation was shifted towards the Caucasus in 1942 and 1943), but there were incidents of attacks by partisan groups against German supply lines.
Although the Ukrainian people at large were initially either indifferent towards or even enthusiastic about the end of Soviet rule and the arrival of German forces, small groups of Red Army troops, communist functionaries, and NKVD-trained auxiliaries remained to deal damage against critical points that were of importance to the German war effort.
Until October, overall activity by partisans was low and major singular acts of German military reprisals against local civilian populations were rare.
With the German capture of Kiev in late September, the partisan activity in northern and eastern Ukraine saw an uptick and posed an increased threat to the ever-growing rear area that Army Group South had to control.
The division had little prior experience in anti-partisan warfare before being assigned its task (although it had received and confirmed the Barbarossa decree).
Initially, no immediate major actions were undertaken against civilians even when the division was faced by direct attacks by partisan units.
This hands-off attitude persisted for the first few days of the division's presence in the area, but changed when the dead bodies of two German airmen, killed by partisans, were found on a bridge near Kamishnya on 19 October, followed by several partisan attacks over the next few days.
The local commander at Myrhorod called upon the aid of the 62nd Infantry Division and specifically demanded acts of reprisal against the civilian population.
Members of the 3rd batallion of 190th Infantry Regiment, part of 62nd Infantry Division, murdered the entire Jewish population of Myrhorod, along with a number of suspected partisans, on 28 October 1941.
It was later given to protocol in the war diaries of the regional command that the Jews in question had been assisting partisan activity, but the war diaries of the units of 62nd Infantry Divisions contain no such references during the days leading up to the massacre on 28 October.
On 9 November, a German soldier who had survived an ambush by partisans during the night of the 4th to the 5th of November, in which three of his comrades were killed, reached the positions of the 62nd Division and made report of his experiences.
This incident was treated as a major massacre by the German leadership, and the rear area commander Erich Friderici instructed the 62nd Infantry Division to execute 'deterrent punitive actions against guilty local populations'.
It was also the first order of its kind that didn't specify Russians, Jews and communists as targets of choice (thus leaving non-Jewish non-communist Ukrainians, perceived to be friendly to Germany, safe from reprisals).
The III/190 battalion, which ahd already carried out the massacre at Myrhorod, reached the village of Baranivka to locate the bodies of the three deceased German soldiers whose deaths had caused this operation.
The same group of German soldiers was then involved in a skirmish against partisans on 12 November, when they were ambushed by a group of one hundred to two hundred partisans.
Three German soldiers were killed and five wounded, and the surviving partisans, whose presence was suspected to have been the one that caused Myrhorod's initial call for aid, fled the area.
The population of the nearby village was accused of having assisted the partisan group, and all of the village's inhabitants were summarily executed and the village put to the torch.
Starting with the execution on 10 November of six suspected partisans that had been denounced by a local, II/164 then proceeded to shoot a local guardsman.
This number came in addition of another 27 executions in the meantime, for a total of 49 suspected partisans killed between 10 November and 13 November.
The commander of the battalion, Faasch, noted these 49 executions as the fulfillment of an army-ordered reprisal, although it is not clear what order he might have referred to.
On 23 November, a Jewish family of 23 was murdered by members of the seventh company of II/164 without a specified reason.
One last act of reprisal against the locals was committed on 1 December, when thirty suspected bandits were summarily executed in forest north of Ssalowka.
The 62nd Infantry Division reported in Poltava on 8 December and was formally returned to the Army Group reserves for frontline combat on 21 December.
The division remained in reserve until February 1942, when the division was assigned to XXIX Army Corps under command of 6th Army.
At this point, the Operations Division of OKH had issued a series of preliminary instructions for the campaigns throughout the year 1942 and had prioritized Army Group South, which 62nd Infantry Division was a part of, for reinforcements over the other army groups as the focus of the war shifted southwards.
In May 1942, the division joined VIII Army Corps and then was moved to LI Army Corps in June, both under 6th Army.
In August, the division was reassigned to XXIX Army Corps, which was under the command of the Eighth Italian Army starting in September.
LVII Army Corps, which 62nd Infantry Division was a part of, was moved from 1st Panzer Army to 6th Army in January 1944.
It was briefly reassembled in August 1944, under XXXXIV Army Corps under Army Group South Ukraine, but was then destroyed in the Soviet Jassy–Kishinev Offensive in late August.
He was a Shaykh and was said to have spent a lot of his earlier life in the landlocked city of Banaras in North India.
The Subahdar of Bengal Subah, Qasim Khan Chishti, removed Mukarram Khan from his post as the Sardar of Sylhet out of dissatisfaction.
The Subahdar replaced Mukarram with Mirak Bahadur Jalair, as Sylhet's chief sardar and Shaykh Sulayman Banarsi to govern Uhar and Taraf.
Many junior mansabdars had jagirs in the Sylhet Sarkar and so Qasim commanded them to assist Sulayman with his post in Sylhet.
When news of this reached the new Subahdar, Ibrahim Khan Fath-i-Jang, he ordered Mirza Malik Husayn and Raja Raghunath to inform Mirza Nathan to return to the Subahdar's court to be given sardarship of Sylhet if he pays 2,000 rupees.
Raghunath and Husayn, the latter of whom was related to Nathan, sent a bailiff who took twelve days to reach Nathan.
However, by the time Nathan had reached the capital, the Subahdar had already given the sardarship of Sylhet to Mirza Ahmad Baig, with Sulayman's son as a deputy sardar (not mentioned whether this was Tufan or not).

A literary feud is a conflict or quarrel between well-known writers, usually conducted in public view by way of published letters, speeches, lectures, and interviews.
Feuds were sometimes based on conflicting views of the nature of literature as between C. P. Snow and F. R. Leavis, or on disdain for each other's work such as the quarrel between Virginia Woolf and Arnold Bennett.
A few instances resulted in physical violence, such as the encounter between Sinclair Lewis and Theodore Dreiser, and on occasion involved litigation, as in the dispute between Lillian Hellman and Mary McCarthy.
Feuds might begin in the public view through the quarterlies, newspapers, and monthly magazines, but frequently extended into private correspondence and in-person meetings.
Many feuds were based on opposing philosophies of literature, art, and social issues, although the disputes often devolved into attacks on personality and character.
It is not uncommon for observers, particularly the press, to label writers' rivalries and deteriorations in friendships as feuds, such as the rivalry between sisters A. S. Byatt and Margaret Drabble or when Vargas Llosa punched Gabriel Garcia Marquez for an incident involving Llosa's wife.
Centuries later, George Bernard Shaw and John Davidson would refer to themselves respectively as Aristophanes and Euripedes in correspondence, and their relationship would later deteriorate into a counterpart of the mythical ancient quarrel.
Their various disagreements escalated to Rousseau revealing that Voltaire was the author of a pamphlet Voltaire had published anonymously to avoid arrest.
In France at the end of the seventeenth century, a minor furor arose over the question of whether contemporary learning had surpassed what was known by those in Classical Greece and Rome.
Especially troubled by the comments on his courage, Hemingway requested a letter from an Army general to attest to Hemingway's bravery.
Although it began as a controversy between factions of writers, it became a personal quarrel between Nash and Gabriel Harvey after John Harvey and Robert Greene both died and Richard Harvey withdrew from participation.
Boursault probably included other malicious and personal attacks on Molière and his associates in the stage version, which were edited out in time for publication.
John Hervey was the object of savage satire on the part of Alexander Pope, in whose works he figured as Lord Fanny, Sporus, Adonis and Narcissus.
They were not friends, and it was well known among their fellow members of the Garrick Club that should one enter the room, the other would quickly make excuses and leave.
He was made aware that Thackeray had commented to a third party that Dickens's marital discord was due to an actress.
The club leadership demanded that Yates apologize or quit the club; Yates refused to do either, and threatened to hire a barrister.
The biographer Marilyn Duckett dates the estrangement between Harte and Twain to their letters in 1877, when Twain suggested that he hire Harte to work on another play with him for $25 a week (rather than lend him any money), and Harte reacted with outrage.
Harte also held Twain responsible for recommending a publisher who would then mishandle Harte's novel, and declared that because of the financial losses that resulted, he need not repay Twain money he had previously borrowed.
The final direct communication between the two writers was a telegram from Harte asking for his share of the box office receipts.
When some influential friends recommended Harte to then-President Rutherford B. Hayes for a diplomatic post, Twain contacted William Dean Howells, who was related by marriage to the President, to work against any such appointment, claiming that Harte would disgrace the nation.
As Twain's fame as a writer grew and Harte's faded, Twain continued to comment on Harte's work and character, including the suggestion that Harte was homosexual.
Thomas Dunn English was a friend of author Edgar Allan Poe, but the two fell out amidst a public scandal involving Poe and the writers Frances Sargent Osgood and Elizabeth F. Ellet.
After suggestions that her letters to Poe contained indiscreet material, Ellet asked her brother to demand the return of the letters.
Poe, who claimed he had already returned the letters, asked English for a pistol to defend himself from Ellet's infuriated brother.
In another letter, this time to fellow writer Frederick W. Thomas, Poe suggested that Griswold's promise to help get the review published was actually a bribe for a favorable review, knowing Poe needed the money.
Another source of animosity between the two men was their competition for the attention of the poet Frances Sargent Osgood in the mid to late 1840s.
Griswold, along with James Russell Lowell and Nathaniel Parker Willis, edited a posthumous collection of Poe's works published in three volumes starting in January 1850.
Many elements were fabricated by Griswold using forged letters as evidence and it was denounced by those who knew Poe, including Sarah Helen Whitman, Charles Frederick Briggs, and George Rex Graham.
Some of the information that Griswold asserted or implied was that Poe was expelled from the University of Virginia and that Poe had tried to seduce his guardian John Allan's second wife.
In 1964, Nabokov published his translation of the Russian classic, which he felt conformed scrupulously to the sense of the poem while completely eschewing melody and rhyme.
In 1975 Vidal sued Capote for slander over the accusation that he had been thrown out of the White House for being drunk, putting his arm around the first lady and then insulting Mrs. Kennedy's mother.
In it, he implies that Updike, Mailer, and Irving were jealous of his success because their own recent books had not been bestsellers.
In 1927, Theodore Dreiser and Sinclair Lewis's soon-to-be wife Dorothy Thompson spent some time together while they were both visitng Russia.
Thompson and Lewis accused Dreiser of plagiarizing portions of Thompson's work, which Dreiser denied and claimed instead that Thompson had used material of his.
Snow's lecture condemned the British educational system as having, since the Victorian era, over-rewarded the humanities (especially Latin and Greek) at the expense of scientific and engineering education, despite such achievements having been so decisive in winning the Second World War for the Allies.
The article attracted a great deal of negative correspondence in the magazine's letters pages and some of Snow's friends suggested that he sue Leavis for defamation.
Later, Theroux took offense when he found books he had inscribed to Naipaul offered for sale in a rare books catalog.
The feud lasted fifteen years, until the writers were reconciled at the 2011 Hay Literary Festival, although there is some speculation that the reconciliation was engineered by their agents and publishing houses to increase sales.
Derek Walcott and V. S. Naipaul were both from the West Indies, and each was a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
When it was announced in 2019 that Ford would be awarded the Hadada prize, other writers, including Viet Thanh Nguyen, Sarah Weinman, and Saeed Jones, criticized the decision, citing Ford's history of poor conduct.
Posthumously named after Hussein Samatar, the crossing connects the Downtown East/Elliot Park and Cedar-Riverside neighborhoods via a former interstate highway ramp.
Samatar Crossing's northern trailhead is at the intersection of 11th Avenue South and South 5th Street, directly across the street from an indoor sports stadium.
The path follows the north side of South 5th Street for approximately one block before traversing over several lanes of highway traffic.
The path's southern trailhead is at 15th Avenue South and South 7th Street, west of Currie Park and the Metro Blue Line tracks.
The construction of urban freeways in the middle-to-latter half of the 20th Century in the United States had a profound impact on neighborhoods.
In Minneapolis, the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood was part of a well-connected street grid system early in the 1900s, but by the 1980s freeways surrounded three of its sides, with fourth side cut off by the Mississippi River, isolating the neighborhood from downtown and adjacent communities.
The construction of a new indoor sports stadium in downtown Minneapolis in the 2010s to replace the Metrodome provided an opportunity for change.
Minneapolis Public Works had to construct a new westbound exit ramp from Interstate 94 to 7th Street to handle vehicle traffic into downtown and the new stadium.
That left the city with a decision about how to use the former 5th Street vehicle ramp from Interstate 35W to downtown Minneapolis.
After neighborhood residents voiced opposition to that plan, Minneapolis city officials decided to just have a path for bikes and pedestrians.
It was residents of Cedar-Riverside who prioritized non-motorized connections to downtown and surrounding neighborhoods, resulting in Minneapolis city officials to adopt a different approach.
Samatar Crossing is named after the late Hussein Samatar, a former Minneapolis School Board member and the first Somali-American elected to public office in Minneapolis, and possibly in the United States.
Samatar Crossing is a connection between Cedar-Riverside neighborhood and downtown Minneapolis that repurposed a former interstate ramp into a car-free space for people walking and biking.
The neighborhood is home to the largest East African immigrant community in Minneapolis, most of whom rely on walking, biking, and taking transit.
According to Abdullahi Abdulle, Associate Transportation Manager, the trail is posthumously named after Hussein Samatar, the first Somali-American in Minnesota to be elected to public office, winning a Minneapolis Public School Board seat.Samatar Crossing was featured at the 2018 conference of the National Association of City Transportation Officials for its concept and design.

Based upon the microwear analysis of stone tools, it is believed to be a base camp where people learned and shared Clovis tool-making techniques, ate, exchanged information, and perhaps found mates from others groups.
Located between a township road and a railroad cut, the site may have been altered when a railroad line was built, particularly where Archaic tools were found.
The site was discovered in 1963 or in the winter of 1964–1965 by Carrell Welling, who found two flint tools near his home.
Six Kirk complex and ten Brewerton complex projectile points, including corner- and side-notched points, found at the site were created during the Archaic period.
Wright and Olaf Prufer of Kent State University performed research by comparing artifacts found at the Welling Site with those of other Paleo-Indian sites.
Stone outcrops, like the Welling Site, were a natural meeting spot to learn about techniques for making complex Clovis fluted projectile points with a ready supply of material for practice.
Using microwear analysis of stone tools, researchers find that Welling Site was an outcrop-related base camp where people assembled in large groups and interacted, ate, and exchanged information with other groups as they quarried for stone.
Tools that the site were used for processing meat and hides following a hunt, such as for butchering meat, sawing bones, scraping fresh and dry hides, and cutting hides.
Kanae Kijima (born November 27, 1974), known as The Konkatsu Killer, is Japanese fraudster and serial killer, convicted for poisoning three would-be husbands and suspected of four more, spanning from 2007 to 2009.
On August 6, 2009, 41-year-old Yoshiyuki Oide, from Tokyo, was discovered dead in his car, parked at a parking lot in Fujimi, Saitama.
The cause of death was determined to be carbon monoxide poisoning using a yeontan, but the supposed suicide had several inconsistencies, because of which an investigation was launched by the Saitama Prefectural Police.
The police determined that Kijima had been fraudulently posing as a bride, and on September 25th, she was arrested for fraud.
She had also received 4.5 million yen from a 40-year-old Chiba man, who was living with her at the time of the arrest.
By January 2010, Kijima had been rearrested for seven charges of fraud, while police simultaneously continued carefully investigating the suspicious deaths.
However, his death at the time was considered a suicide and was not given an autopsy, resulting in a very unusual murder charge, despite the lack of evidence for the cause of death.
The first criminal trial was filed in the Saitama District Court, for a consolidated hearing on all cases of prosecution (three murders, six counts of fraud/attempted fraud and one theft).
The judicial procedures began on January 5, 2012; the first trial on January 10th; Judgment Day on April 13th, with the lay judge trial lasting 100 days.
On the other hand, Kanae and her defense team claimed that the bribes were voluntarily handed over to her, and their deaths were either accidental or suicide, which warranted an acquittal.
She is the 15th woman to be condemned to death in the post-war period, and the first to be convicted by a lay judge.

He then received a thorough commercial education in England and Germany before travelling widely in the US, Australia and the Far East.
Hansen had not yet returned from his travels when he joined his father's firm A. N. Hansen & Co. in 1859.
The two brothers continued the firm after their father's death in 1873, initially with Alfred Hansen in a dominant role but after his death in 1893 with Harald Hansen as the sole owner.
The company operated a rice and flour mill as well as a pig farm and slaughterhouse at Bodenhoffs Plads in Christianshavn but was also operating its own fleet of merchant ships.
The shipping activities played a still more dominant role in the operations after the company's mills were destroyed by fire in 1885 and 1890.

It protected the UK against air attack as part of Anti-Aircraft Command, including the defence against V-1 flying bombs (Operation Diver).
136th Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment (136th HAA Rgt) was formed during a period of rapid expansion of Anti-Aircraft Command, mainly utilising Territorial Army (TA) batteries drawn from existing regiments.
'Mixed' indicated that two-thirds of the personnel of the battery were women drawn from the Auxiliary Territorial Service, who had been called upon to ease AA Command's manpower shortage.
The battery had been formed on 13 January from a cadre of experienced officers and other ranks provided by 98th HAA Rgt.
136th HAA Regiment provided the cadre for 552 (M) HAA Bty formed on 26 March 1942 at 210th HAA Training Rgt at Oswestry; this later joined 154th (M) HAA Rgt.
At the beginning of April 1942, 136th HAA Rgt moved to 30th (Northumbrian) AA Bde in 7th AA Division covering North East England, but by the end of June it was back in the East Midlands with 32nd AA Bde.
On 10 July 1942 198 HAA Battery was transferred to help form a new 165th HAA Rgt at Clifton, Bristol and was replaced by 468 HAA Bty from 78th (1st East Anglian) HAA Rgt.
In early 1943, 409 (Suffolk) HAA Bty was temporarily detached from the regiment and attached to 50th AA Bde covering Derby and Nottingham.
In May, the whole of 136th HAA Rgt moved south to join 37th AA Bde along the north side of the Thames Estuary under 1 AA Group.
From April 1944, 2 AA Group had the additional responsibility of defending the ports at which the shipping for the invasion of Europe (Operation Overlord) was being gathered.
By now, 136th HAA Rgt formed part of a new 102 AA Bde in 2 AA Group, but in May it transferred to 44 AA Bde, which had been brought down from Manchester take over the AA defences on the Isle of Wight.
Here it came under the command of 6 AA Group, which had responsibility for covering the 'Overlord' embarkation ports around the Solent and Portsmouth.
Large numbers of HAA guns under 2 AA Group were deployed in depth across the line of flight of the V-1s as part of Operation Diver.
Firstly, mobile HAA guns were replaced with static installations that could traverse more quickly to track the fast-moving targets and were given the latest Radar No 3 Mark V (the SCR-584 radar set) and No 10 Predictors (the all-electric Bell Labs AAA Computer).
Secondly, the HAA gun belt was moved to the coast and interlaced with Light AA guns to hit the missiles out to sea.
This new belt was divided into six brigade sectors, 5 AA Bde taking charge of one sector under 1 AA Gp with 136th HAA Rgt under command.
The whole process involved the movement of hundreds of guns and vehicles and thousands of servicemen and women, but a new 8-gun site could be established in 48 hours.
The guns were constantly in action, but the success rate against the 'Divers' steadily improved, until over 50 per cent of incoming missiles were destroyed by gunfire or fighter aircraft.
This phase of Operation Diver ended in September after the V-1 launch sites in Northern France had been overrun by 21st Army Group.
In October, 136th HAA Rgt rejoined 40 AA Bde, which had been transferred to the 'Diver Box' defences over the outer Thames Estuary.
This time the wholesale movement of guns, platforms, personnel and huts fell into chaos as the staff work of the AA groups and brigades fell apart, earning a stinging rebuke from Gen Pile.
The responsibilities proved too large for one group HQ, and a new 9 AA Group was formed to take command of the Diver defences on the coast of East Anglia, including 40 AA Bde.
Despite the depletion of AA Command to provide manpower for 21st Army Group, 136th HAA Rgt was one of the units that remained operational until the end.
On 1 April 1946, the war-formed 136th HAA Rgt was disbanded at King's Park, Glasgow, and its personnel were used to resuscitate the Regular 5th HAA Rgt, with the TA 409 (Suffolk) Bty placed in suspended animation to reform 8 HAA Bty of that regiment.
When the TA was reconstituted on 1 January 1947, 409th (Suffolk) HAA Bty reformed at Lowestoft as a full regiment, 660 HAA Rgt.

The attribution to Correggio was first popularised by Giovanni Morelli, who saw the work in 1875 while it was still in Ferrara, though local scholars had already made such an attribution, placing it in the artist's youth.
Damage to the paint surface, especially in the area of the mantle and the faces of the Virgin Mary and Saint Anne, was already mentioned in the late 19th century.
It was recorded as owned by doctor Gustavo Frizzoni in Milan in 1877 before passing through the hands of various heirs.

The altar on which it stood was built on the wishes of Francesco Lisotti for a weekly mass for his soul, probably towards the end of the church's construction.
This suggests a dating in the late 1560s, as do the facial features of the Madonna, similar to those of the 1567 altarpiece for the Santa Maria della Ripa Monastery in Desenzano al Serio.
However, in 1931 Andrea Pinotti places it closer to the artist's 1564-1567 altarpiece for the parish church of San Pietro in Parre.

He was a younger son of William III de Beauchamp (c.1215-1269) of Elmley Castle in Worcestershire, hereditary Sheriff of Worcestershire, by his wife Isabel de Mauduit, daughter of William de Mauduit of Hanslope in Buckinghamshire and Hartley Mauditt, Hampshire (by his wife Alice de Beaumont (d. pre- 1263), half-sister of Henry de Beaumont, 5th Earl of Warwick (c.1192-1229)) and sister and heiress of William Mauduit, 8th Earl of Warwick).
He was at the Battle of Falkirk in 1298 and at the Siege of Caerlaverock Castle in Scotland in 1300, with the king.
At the Siege of Caerlaverock Castle in Scotland in 1300 the heralds blazoned the arms of all the English knights present in Norman-French verse, known as the Caerlaverock Roll.
The estate had been inherited, together with Elmley Castle and other lands, by Walter's three-times great-grandfather Walter I de Beauchamp (d.1130/3), founder of the Beauchamp family, on his marriage to Emmeline d'Abitot, daughter and heiress of Urse d'Abitot, Sheriff of Worcestershire.

John Nugent's Studio, originally called St. Mark's Shop and best known as the John Nugent Studio, is a Canadian provincial heritage property in Lumsden, Saskatchewan.
It was designed by Regina architect Clifford Wiens for John Cullen Nugent and built with the help of Kenneth Lochhead and Roy Kiyooka in 1960.
Shortly after his arrival in Lumsden in 1948, Montreal-born sculptor and chandler John Nugent established a studio and a bronze casting foundry on a 2.7-hectare parcel of land that forms the north slope of the Qu’Appelle Valley.
The conical-shaped roof of the central section was constructed from pre-tensioned, thin-shell concrete, while sections of concrete culverts were used for the window openings, illustrating the combination of manufactured elements with crafted elements characterizing the overall nature of the structure.
Over the course of a single year, the studio was constructed over successive weekends by Nugent and Wiens, with help from Lochhead and Roy Kiyooka.
Over the course of the next thirty years or so of his career, he produced abstract welded metal sculpture, metal castings, religious artifacts, works in silver, as well as candlemaking, shifting his focus to photography in the 1990s.
For the studio's inventive curved and conical design, Wiens received a Massey silver medal in 1967 from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada.
The John Nugent Studio has been a Provincial Heritage Property since 26 May 2005, the 42nd site so designated, and listed at the online Canadian Register of Historic Places.
The register entry enumerates a number of elements at the site which define or enhance the heritage value of the Studio in terms of its archiecture and its use and associations.
An element illustrative of the building's integration with the landscape is its placement on a bench of land overlooking the Qu'Appelle Valley.
The building's association with John Nugent is considered just as important as the studio itself: Nugent's life work spans more than fifty years, ranging from the production of abstract welded metal sculpture, metal castings, religious artifacts, works in silver, and candlemaking, his works exhibited nationally and found in many important collections.
The Imperial Election of 1256 took place while The Holy Roman Empire was in the midst of a period known as the Great Interregnum.
In July 1245, Pope Innocent IV had declared the then emperor, Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, deposed, opening a split between two factions, the Guelphs and Ghibellines.
Richard was elected in 1256 as King of Germany by four of the seven German Electoral Princes (Cologne, Mainz, the Palatinate and King-elector of Czechia), though his candidacy was opposed by Alfonso X of Castile who was elected by Saxony, Brandenburg and Trier.
The pope and King Louis IX of France favoured Alfonso, but both were ultimately convinced by the powerful relatives of Richard's sister-in-law, Eleanor of Provence, to support Richard.
Ottokar II of Bohemia, who at first voted for Richard but later elected Alfonso, eventually agreed to support the earl of Cornwall, thus establishing the required simple majority.
Like his lordships in Gascony and Poitou, his title of Germany never held much significance, and he made only four brief visits to Germany between 1257 and 1269.

The Museo de Arqueología de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Puerto Rico (Museum of Archaeology of the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico) is a museum of archaeology located at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Puerto Rico (PUCPR) main campus on Avenida Las Américas in Ponce, Puerto Rico.
The museum is an educational unit of the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico's Biblioteca Encarnación Valdés, the university's main library.
It has a collection of more than 10,000 artifacts from the past civilizations of Puerto Rico, including Igneri, Pre-Taíno, and Taíno cultures.
In addition to displaying its permanent and special exhibitions, the museum also guards numerous other artifacts which are currently not on display due to its space limitations.
In 1971, when Dr. Enrique Laguerre was head of the PUCPR's Department of Hispanic Studies, there was developing interest in creating a program on Puerto Rican Studies at the University.
It was also during this embryonic stages that the idea of creating a museum of archaeology at the university stated to take shape.
To augment its exposure to the study of archaeology, the University contracted with Dr. Ricardo Alegría who taught a course on archaeology in 1973-74 academic year.
This offering with continued, upon Dr. Alegría's departure, by Professor Juan Manuel Ledesma Criado, who taught the course for two additional years.
It was then that with the help of Mela Pons de Alegría, Ricardo Alegría, Juan Gonzalez, Luis A. Rodriguez Gracia, and several donors, Dr. Enrique Laguerre accomplished his dream of opening the museum.
During the 1970s, the museum held collections obtained from the Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña, pieces from the Mr. Herman Ferre's private collection, Santos from Dr. Luis F. Sala, archaeological discoveries donated by the Sociedad Guaynia de Arqueología e Historia, and miscellaneous donations from students and friends of the University, and for several years ran under the supervision of university professor Juan Manuel Ledesma Criado.
Regretfully, the rapid growth of the university in terms of its student enrollment made it necessary to expropriate the area where the museum operated and turn it into a classroom for the university's English Language Institute.
As a result, the museum was dismantled, with the archaeological material sent to storage and the exhibits put under the supervision of the University library.
To provide continuity to the museum, Antonio Matos, the university librarian, arranged for the creation of two large glass displays at the library, thus creating the University Museum as an integral part of the library.
The endeavor had the concurrence of university president Francisco Carreras, who also approved the allocation of approximately $12,000 ($ in dollars) towards the project.
Meanwhile a batey was discovered in the mountain town of Utuado and, upon concurrence of University president Dr. Francisco J. Carreras, was brought in and annexed to the museum on the grounds next to the library.
The completion of these bateys and the museum vitrines brought about the re-inauguration of the Museum on 20 November 1980 under the supervision of head librarian Antonio Matos Vazquez, and this is how the museum stands today (2020).
Not long afterwards, the museum display area was enlarged to occupy areas underneath the library staircases that lead to the library's second floor.
In the mid 1980s, Mr. Luis A. Rodriguez Gracia and Dr. Luis E. Diaz Hernandez engaged in the arduous and time-consuming task of cleaning, identifying, categorizing and, in general, curating the entirety of the collection not on display.
P. Tosello Giangiacomo, contained, among other specifics, a complete register of every item in the collections, the personnel involved in its identification, the location of each item as discovered as well as its current location at the University, and the methodology followed in the curation process.
In 2010, Luis A. Rodriguez Gracia, after more than three decades as museum curator and historian, published a 6-page manuscript detailing the history of the museum and its collection.

But after reviving Bred-RUN, and being saved by him, Metal Alice developed an interest in the concept of friendship while starting to realize that the Goseigers can not be underestimated.
Soon on the eve of the final battle, after learning that Robogorg only kept her around in order to perfect Bred-RUN into an ideal servant, Metal Alice restores Bred-RUN's memory and sets up a scheme with him to do away with Robogorg.
is the revived form of Warstar/Yuumajuu member Buredoran, turned into a cyborg by Robogorg and made into the newest member of the Matrintis Empire with his memory wiped out save his name and hatred for the Goseigers.
As a result, Buredo-RUN is more of a team player and secretly perfected to be an ideal Matroid and serve as Robogorg's trump card against the Goseigers.
It would turn out that Robogorg copied Bred-RUN's original memory and keep it on his person for analysis on the Goseigers.
By the time he learns of this, Buredo-RUN is used by Robogorg in a scheme to cripple the Goseigers and Gosei Knight that drained of most of his energy as a result.
However, Buredo-RUN regained his memories prior to the battle thanks to Metal Alice and had manipulated the fight's events so Robogorg's body would be heavily damaged by the Goseigers so he can personally finish the job.
With the use of Metal Alice's enhancement of the Bibi Bugs to become Bibi Nails, the Matroids are able to enlarge.
, the primary antagonist, is a with a Messiah Complex who assume the many guises of Buredoran to battle the Goseigers.
He also carried the spear while in Warstar, the clawed gauntlets in his Yuumajuu guise, a Shōryū Bakuzantō-style blade in Gedoushu form, and both the hand-held blades and built-in while as a Matroid.
By having an Orb enter his chest armor, Brajira can perform an ancient version of the , his being more crude compared to present Tensou Techniques used by the Goseigers and Gosei Knight.
He also has used the Tensou Technique , an incomplete Tensou Technique that sent him to the future while mutating him by accident.
Brajira has also mastered the forbidden Tensou Technnique , that allows the user to bring life back to all creatures on the planet, using it as the basis for which has the opposite effect and thus cause a mass extinction.
Brajira was originally the most powerful of the Gosei Angels, able to use all three elements at once after killing his teammates to take their powers for his own.
After sealing the Yuumajuu leaders Makuin and Kinggon while incognito as Bredoran of the Chupacabra, Brajira became obsessed with his mission as a Gosei Angel to the point of fashioning the , which would allow him to destroy the world and remake it in his own image as its Messiah.
To that end, after the other Gosei Angels hold him responsible for killing his teammates, Brajira used the Time Travel Tensou Technique to travel from his time into the present, distorting his looks in the process as Warstar arrives on Earth.
From there, Brajira joins Warstar under the name Buredoran of the Comet and provided them with his inventions - the and the enlarging , along with his knowledge on the Gosei Angels so Warstar can do his dirty work in disabling them before he disposes of the aliens personally.
After Warstar's defeat by the Goseigers, Bredoran returns to the Yuumajuu after secretly unsealing its leaders to have them finish off the Goseigers, momentarily assuming his Warstar guise to take advantage of Gyōten'ō's plan to use the Horn of Ragnarok to destroy the planet.
After losing face in the aftermath of the Abare Headder incident, Buredoran attempts to do away with both the Yuumajuu leaders and the Goseigers.
In this form, Buredoran uses his Bibi Bugs to turn Shinken Red into his follower to use his fire Modikara with Makodama's power in a scheme to transfer the Sanzu Rivers' waters into the Gosei World through a portal that opens every two centuries.
His near lifeless body is then discovered by Matrintis Empire's Metal-Alice after her encounter with a mysterious Super Sentai group, and he is rebuilt as Buredo-RUN of the Cyborg with his memories erased, as Robogorg knew of his true identity and intended to use his ability to seal the Tensouders.
Taking control of the Terminel, renaming it , Brajira reveals his true form and captures Gosei Knight to make him his servant once more.
Furthermore, using the military might of Warstar, the magic of the Yuumajuu, and the advanced technology of the Matrintis Empire, Brajira begins setting up his master plan to set up the ceremony by having his Dark Headders be destroyed so they can become wedges in key points to start the process by the time of the upcoming solar eclipse.
After destroying Labyrindel in an attempt to get rid of Gosei Knight, Brajira begins his final battle with the Goseigers after activating the wedges.
Upon being mortally wounded, he transfers the last of his Dark Gosei powers to the wedges in order to power them up for the activation of Nega End, intending to take everyone down with him.
He battles Gokai Red and Gosei Red within his own subspace, using the Bibi Soldiers to hold them off while having a Bibi Bug tail them so he can unleash dead-on hits.
In a final gambit by the Black Cross Colossus, Brajira is revived again along with his Buredoran guises before they are all ultimately destroyed by the combined finishers of Gokaioh, Gosei Great, and many of the previous Sentai teams' giant robots.
Like his fellow Gosei Angels, Brajira utilizes as part of his arsenal, but uses them to create evil multi-headed monsters called .
They are fusions of mythological beasts with a weapon element and are each named after a fantasy film series, with the heads' individual names divided in Japanese by the interpunct.

The U Sports men's volleyball championship is an annual tournament that features the top eight men's volleyball teams from among competing Canadian universities in U Sports.
The champion is awarded the Tantramar Trophy, named after the Tantramar Marshes in New Brunswick, which was donated in 1967 by Mount Allison University.
The 2019 champions are the Trinity Western Spartans, who have won six championships in program history, including three in the last four years.
The first championship tournament was held in Calgary, Alberta and featured the UBC Thunderbirds defeating the Mount Allison Mounties 3-0 and the Sherbrooke Vert et Or 3-0 en route to being the first CIAU men's volleyball champions.
In 1984, six teams played in two pools and then, based on the results, advanced to single-elimination games to determine a winner.
The championship currently consists of an eight-team tournament, with champions from each of the three conferences, one host (from Canada West in 2020 and 2021), an additional Canada West team, two additional OUA teams, and one additional team from the RSEQ.
While the berths for the conference champions and host remain consistent year-to-year, the other four invitees can change based on the host's conference and the competitive landscape in U Sports.
Teams are ranked by a committee as well as by the ELO ranking used to determine weekly Top 10 rankings nationally.
The team ranked 1st plays the 8th ranked team, 2nd plays 7th, 3rd plays 6th, and 4th plays 5th in the quarter-finals.
To ensure common rest times, teams are not re-seeded after the first round, so the winner of 1v8 plays the winner of 4v5 and the winner of 2v7 plays the winner of 3v6.
Prior to 1983, there were no third place finishes, and the second place finish was the loser of the championship game.
While the Dalhousie Tigers now play in the RSEQ, they had won their medals while playing in the AUS conference, which no longer fields men's volleyball teams.

The offeree can exercise the power of acceptance to create a binding contract with the offeror, provided that the power of acceptance is not revoked by the offeror.
The promisor assumes the obligation under the promise at the moment the promisee has performed the act which fully satisfies the conditions stated in the promise.
However, once the promisee has begun to perform, an implied obligation may apply to the promisor that the promise cannot be revoked.
The power of acceptance can be terminated in a number of ways, either by the offeror, the offeree, or operation of law.
If there is a date or event specified in the offer before which the offer must be accepted, then the power of acceptance remains valid until that particular date or the occurrence of that particular event.
If there is nothing being specified in the offer, then the power of acceptance will lapse at the end of a reasonable time.
Taking into consideration the nature of shares, a period of five months was too long that the defendant's offer to purchase shares had lapsed.
In a case where a reasonable time has lapsed, but the offeree does in good faith believe the length of time so passed is reasonable, there may still be a chance a contract is created, despite the delay of acceptance.
If the offeror failed to do so, he would be bound by such a late acceptance as a matter of fairness.
In the US, the comment to Restatement (Second) of Contracts, section 41 stipulates the conversation rule that if the parties negotiate face to face or over the telephone, the offer must be accepted by the end of that conversation, or the offer will lapse automatically, unless intention shows otherwise.
The broker did not accept the offer by the end of the conservation, and said that he need to check with his clients.
However, he refused to take the delivery of steel at the end, and argued that under the conservation rule, his power of acceptance was no longer valid.
It was held that the jury was entitled to find the verbal offer did extend beyond the end of the conservation, as it was normal for a steel broker to confirm with his clients before accepting an offer.
If an offer is not irrevocable, then the offeror may revoke the offer at any time before acceptance, provided that such revocation is effectively communicated to the offeree.
The intention of revoking the offer must be communicated to the offeree, and that can be done either by the offeror or a third party.
The plaintiff later learnt from a third person that the defendant had changed his mind, but nevertheless tried to accept the offer.
Under the firm-offer rule, the fact that the offeror has promised the offeree to keep the offer open for acceptance for a certain period of time does not render such an offer irrevocable.
However, when an offer is being made, the offeree provides a consideration to the offeror for the purpose of keeping the offer open, then the offer becomes irrevocable.
If the offer is irrevocable and the offeror revokes the offer, then the offeror is liable for expectation damages for revoking the offer before acceptance.
In a unilateral contract, an offer can be revoked by the offeror at any time before the completion of the invited act.
Under the unilateral-contract rule, the fact that the offeree has commenced the performance of the invited act does not render such an offer irrevocable.
He paid one-third of the price, and said to his son and daughter-in-law that if they paid the regular mortgage instalments for the remaining two-third of the price until the mortgage was paid off, then he would transfer the title of the house to them.
It was held that the father's promise to convey the title to the son and daughter-in-law was irrevocable once they had begun paying the regular mortgage instalments.
If an offer includes the details of consideration, and is signed by the offeror, for the purpose of exchange of promises within a reasonable time, then the offer is enforceable, provided that there is nominal consideration.
It recognises the performance of the invited act stated in the offer by the offeree as part of the consideration, and the offeror's obligation to perform his promise in the offer is conditional upon the completion of that invited act.
If an offer is rejected by the offeree, then the offer as well as the power of acceptance which comes with it are terminated at once.
If a counter-offer is made by the offeree to the offeror, the original offer is deemed rejected, and the power of acceptance included in the original offer is therefore terminated.
During contract formation, parties may exchange communications regarding the offer, and such communications do not necessarily constitute a rejection or counter-offer.
At the end, the plaintiff accepted the offer before deadline, but the defendant refused to assume the obligation under the offer.
It was held that the plaintiff's enquiry about the payment terms did not kill the offer, and the defendant was bound to honour the offer.
In the US, Restatement (Second) of Contracts, section 38(2) provides an exception to the counter-offer rule that if the offeree makes a counter-offer to the offeror, together with a statement that the original offer is being taken under further advisement, then the counter-offer will not terminate the original offer.
Moreover, the comment to Restatement (Second) of Contracts, section 59 stipulates that if the offeree includes some conditions in the acceptance, and such conditions are implied in the offer, then the acceptance is not considered as conditional.
The power of acceptance can also be terminated by operation of law in the case of the death of the offeror or a material change in the circumstance.

In 1925, Ahmet Zogu, was elected as a President for seven years and on the 1st September 1928, during his swearing ceremony he proclaimed himself as the King.
Being the first and the last king of the Albanian nation, he served the country from 1922 until he fled to France during the start of the Second World War in 1939.
Albania was thought by Italy as the portal for the rest of the Balkan countries, Greece and the Near Eastern countries.
In May 1925, Albania accepted the proposal of the Italians, to find the Albanian National Bank, acting as the country's treasury despite being solely controlled by the Italian banks.
The proposal came with a five-year loan equivalent of about 2 million pounds of that time.Zog I accepted to restore order in his country and help with its development.
This weakened the King's economic hold and slowly gave way for the two Treaties to be signed by Zog and the Italian dictator, Mussolini.
It pushed Tirana to accept Italian officers and ranking member into their army and police to oversee the Albanian army and train it.
Military experts started to instruct Albanian paramilitary groups, whilst allowing in the meantime the Italian navy to access the port of Vlorė.
The Treaty meant a lot more to the Italians as it enabled them to enter Albania freely, whether a real or fictional threat existed.
The signage of both the First and the Second Treaties gave the Italians the freedom to access and control the Albanian economy and military, making Albania an Italian Protectorate.
In Rome, a ministry was created specifically to control the Albanian affairs and count Francesco Giacomoni was appointed regent of Albania.

Whittlesey culture is an archaeological designation for native people who lived in northeastern Ohio during the Late prehistoric and Early Contact period between A.D. 1000 to 1640.
They flourished as an agrarian society by 1500—growing maize, beans, and squash—when their populated began to decrease due to disease, malnutrition, and warfare.
The Whittlesey culture people created a distinctive style of pottery and built villages that were designed to be defensive, set high on promotories with steep cliffs and then surrounded by ditches or stockades.
About 1640, Whittlesey villages were abandoned and due to the displacement of native groups during the early contact period with Europeans, it is not known where or how they relocated.
The culture is named for Charles Whittlesey, an archaeologist and geologist who was the founder of the Western Reserve Historical Society.
He was known for his work discovering and describing indigenous people, the Whittlesey culture, who lived in northeast Ohio from A.D. 1000 to 1600.
Their villages were surrounded by ditches or palisades and were located near the Lake Erie coast or on plateaus in river valleys.
At first, from A.D. 1200 to 1350, people of the Whittlesey culture were primarily hunter-gatherers who cultivated crops a bit and fished.
The culture's final phase, beginning about 1500, shows that people no longer ranged for food; They were an agrarian society, growing beans, squash, and maize.
Many of the Whittlesey sites have not been preserved from this period, but there are villages on promotories along the Cuyahoga Valley.
They are located about eight miles from their neighboring villages and are located on steep bluffs with protective ditches and walls.
Some pottery resembled Wellsburg sites in the Upper Ohio valley from the and Ricker ceramics in the Tuscarawas River valley from the 15th century.
Stemmed knives, small triangular projectile points, and flake scrapers are the few types of tools found from the Early Whittlesey period.
After 1350, family members were buried in larger graves and, depending upon the group, ornamental goods were buried with some of the dead.
The remains of some of the people identifies deaths due to disease, nutritional deficiency, and traumatic injury, including charred and butchered human bones.
Whittlesey sites were abandoned about 1640 and were not populated again until the mid-1740s when Odawa and Wyandot people from Detroit moved into the area.
Due to the degree of displacement of native groups during the early contact period, it is difficult to ascertain what happened to the Whittlesey culture people.
The site is located on a promontory above the western bank of the Cuyahoga River near Independence, Cuyahoga County, Ohio and seven miles from Lake Erie.
The Outdoor Education Center (OEC 1 Site), a Independence Board of Education building, is also an archaeological site of prehistoric people of the Whittlesey culture and earlier.
The excavated items were found over a dispersed area in 1999 by a group led by Mark Kollecker, Supervisor of Archaeology Field Programs of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
Kollecker led another Archaeology Field Experience program group in April and May 2000 and found several post molds and nine cooking and storage pits of prehistoric people.

Motown Sound is a Black American pop music signature sound of a team of producers, songwriters, arrangers, vocalists, and instrumentalists from a small Detroit, Michigan record company Motown that eventually became the largest black-owned enterprise in the country, a national competitor in the previous mass white market.
Crafted with an ear towards pop appeal, the Motown Sound typically used tambourines to accent the back beat, prominent, and often melodic electric bass-guitar lines, distinctive melodic and chord structures, and a call-and-response singing style that originated in gospel music.
Pop production techniques such as the use of orchestral string sections, charted horn sections, and carefully arranged background vocals were also used.
The Hitsville studios remained open and active 22 hours a day, and artists would often go on tour for weeks, come back to Detroit to record as many songs as possible, and then promptly go on tour again.
Berry Gordy held quality control meetings every Friday morning, and used veto power to ensure that only the very best material and performances would be released.
The test was that every new release needed to fit into a sequence of the top five selling pop singles of the week.
Many of Motown's best-known songs, including all the early hits for the Supremes, were written by the songwriting trio of Holland–Dozier–Holland (Lamont Dozier and brothers Brian and Eddie Holland).
The style created by the Motown musicians was a major influence on several non-Motown artists of the mid-1960s, such as Dusty Springfield and the Foundations.
In the United States, Motown Sound was one of prototype elements of disco during the late 1960s and early 1970s and was influential in Europe, particularly in the United Kingdom, where the Northern soul scene was born out of admiration of the Motown music.

It was a penitent order which followed the Rule of St. Augustine and emphasized piousness, asceticism, and devotion to the Holy Cross.
Established in the 13th century, the order was initially based in Rome and had a few monasteries in Bohemia, Germany, England, perhaps Spain and France.
Most popular in the Kingdom of Poland (a total of five locations in the Diocese of Kraków with the main monastery in Kraków) and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (a total of 18 locations in the Diocese of Vilnius with the main monastery in Videniškiai), the order was suppressed by the Tsarist authorities after the Uprising of 1831.
The church is known only from written records and possibly was located near the Arch of Constantine; its name might be derived from Meta Sudans, a Roman fountain located nearby.
It could also be a reference to Demetrius, an alleged Christian martyr who plays a role in the legends of order's founding.
It was also known as white crosiers or crosiers with red heart from the color of their robes or their emblem.
The order was particularly devoted to the crucifixion of Jesus and the Holy Cross as well as the early Christian martyrs (including a pseudo-martyr Demetrius).
However, the information about the order's activities is very fragmentary as its rules prohibited publicizing one's work, and many libraries and archives were lost when the monasteries were closed.
The origin of the order is unknown though it shares the legends about its founding in the 1st century by Pope Anacletus and restoration by Empress Helena and Judas Cyriacus with other Crosiers.
The earliest known papal document referencing the order is a document by Pope Alexander IV from 9 April 1256 which mentioned three monasteries – in Rome, Alsfeld (Germany), and Kuyavia – that came under the papal protection.
In 1256, the order was invited by King Ottokar II of Bohemia to Prague where the monks built the Church of the Holy Cross (completed in 1356).
In a papal bull of 1295, Pope Boniface VIII listed eight monasteries of the order – one in Rome, three in the Kingdom of Bohemia (two of them in Prague), two in the Kingdom of Poland, one in Germany, and one in an unknown island in Kuyavia.
The order was invited to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by King Władysław II Jagiełło in 1390 shortly after the official Christianization of Lithuania in 1387.
The monasteries in Spain were reportedly located in Sarria and Arzúa, both founded by pilgrims visiting the Camino de Santiago in the Kingdom of Galicia, and were incorporated into the Order of Hermits of Saint Augustine in 1567.
Initially based in Rome at the Church of the Sancta Mariae de Metro, the superior general later relocated to Prague in 1340.
In 1628, after the Battle of White Mountain, the Canons Regular of Penitence returned to Prague but they were not satisfied with their Polish superior general.
After a failed attempted to merge with the Belgian Canons Regular of the Order of the Holy Cross in 1673–1674, the Bohemian order became an autonomous and independent order in 1678.
The new order became known as the Order of the Holy Cross with the Red Heart (Canonicus Ordo Crucigerorum cum Rubeo Corde).
In 1715, they established an annual celebration in honor of Saint John of Nepomuk (killed in 1393) who, according to Bohuslav Balbín (1621–1688), was first buried in the Church of the Holy Cross of the order and only later transferred to St. Vitus Cathedral.
As the number of monasteries in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania continued to grow, the order formed a separate Lithuanian province.
After the failed anti-Tsarist Uprising of 1831, Russian Empire implemented various Russification policies and closed all monasteries of the order except for one in Užupis which was attached to the .

The Boston Chinatown massacre was a gang-related shooting that took place in a Boston Chinatown gambling den on January 12, 1991.
Two of the perpetrators, Nam The Tham and Siny Van Tran, were convicted of murder in 2005 after a decade-long international manhunt led to their 2001 extradition from China to the United States via Hong Kong.
Both Tran and Tham are serving life sentences in prison while the third suspect, Hung Tien has not yet been found as of 2017.
While no motive has been officially established, initial police reports and later FBI investigations indicated that the Ping On gang and one of the victims were vying for power in Boston Chinatown.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Susan Hanson-Philbrick, Pham was a rising star in Asian American organized crime in the late 1980s.
Pham was a loyal Ping On member throughout the 1980s who had 200 men at his disposal, control over lower Washington Street at the western edge of Chinatown, control over at least two gambling parlors, and his own drug business offshoot from Ping On.
Tham was sent to school in China, returned to Vietnam, and then moved back to China, Hong Kong, and then moved to San Francisco in 1981.
The gambling den was frequented by ethnic Chinese immigrants from Myanmar, many of whom worked as waiters in nearby restaurants and gambled after work.
No motive has been officially established, but initial police reports indicated a conflict between Chinese and Vietnamese gangs vying for power in Boston Chinatown in the aftermath of the late 1980s decline of Ping On.
Around 11 p.m. on December 29, 1988, Ping On gang members launched a failed assassination attempt on Luu in a parking lot on Tyler Street that resulted in no deaths.
In January 1989, Luu was gathering gang members in New York while Tse was in Hong Kong to assassinate the Ping On leaders in Boston.
High-ranking Ping On members were aware of the plot, and Tse returned to the United States in May 1989 and October 1990 with Pham.
The three men announced a robbery, ordered the eight patrons to put their hands behind their heads, and shot Luu in the head before shooting five other men in the head at a point-blank range.
In Tham's statements to Boston police in December 2001, he claimed that he pointed the gun at the club manager Young and told him to leave while Tran and Pham shot the other six men.
Tran told police that he did not have a gun and that he did not kill anyone during the massacre, claiming that his brief departure from the gambling den was a failed errand to purchase cocaine.
The three perpetrators, Pham, Tham, and Tran, drove to Atlantic City to gamble for a few days before escaping to China on a United Airlines flight from Philadelphia International Airport to Tokyo three weeks after the massacre.
Later that year, Tran and Tham were arrested and held in prison in China on drug charges and undisclosed crimes respectively.
After delicate negotiations, the Chinese authorities agreed to extradite the two men after the FBI arrested Qin Hong, a Chinese fugitive wanted in China for millions of dollars of fraud, in New York in April 2001.
Since China and the United States did not have an extradition agreement, the two men were extradited to Boston via Hong Kong through the Hong Kong–United States extradition agreement.
Hong was sent to China via Panama, after which Tham and Tran were deported to Hong Kong on October 19, 2001 and then extradited to the United States in December 2001.
On October 5, 2005, Tham and Tran were each convicted for five counts of first degree murder and one count of armed assault with intent to murder.
In January 2011, Tham and Tran appealed their convictions in the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court on the basis of prosecutor pressure on the juries and the use of unauthenticated airline flight records.

The most common oral manifestation of upper respiratory viral infections is the presence of small round erythematous macular lesions on the soft palate.
●      Sphenoidal – can cause pain or pressure behind the eyes, but is often felt in the top of the head, over the mastoid processes, or the back of the head.
The most common predisposing factors for chronic sinusitis include periapicalor periodontal infection from teeth in the upper jaw, dental trauma, or iatrogenic causes, such as dental extractions and placement of dental implants.
In otherwise healthy patients, the most common bacterial organisms cultured from acute sinusitis are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis.
Anterior nasal or posterior pharyngeal discharge is present; it may be thick or thin in consistency and appear clear, mucoid, or purulent.
Maxillary sinusitis is associated with increased pain when the head is held upright and less discomfort when the patient is supine.
It may develop with anatomic derangements, including deviation of the nasal septum and the presence of concha bullosa (pneumatization of the middle concha) that inhibit the outflow of mucus, or with allergic rhinitis, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and dental infections.
In some cases, nonspecific symptoms, such as headache, sore throat, lightheadedness or generalised fatigue, also may be present or even dominate.Radiographically, the involved sinus has a cloudy, increased density appearance.
Acute sinusitis is defined as inflammation of less than 4 weeks, subacute as 4–8 weeks, and chronic as either longer than 8–12 weeks in duration.
In addition to the patient's symptoms, the diagnosis in the past often was made by procedures (such as, transillumination) and by radiographs (such as, the Waters, Caldwell-Luc, lateral, and submental vertex views).
Thickening of sinus mucosa and the accumulation of secretions reduce the air space of the sinus and cause it to become increasingly radiopaque.
The most common radiopaque patterns that occur in the Waters view are localized mucosal thickening along the sinus floor, generalized thickening of the mucosal lining around the entire wall of the sinus, and near-complete or complete radiopacification of the sinus.
Scrutinizing the area around the maxillary ostium on plain images or CT images may reveal the presence of thickened mucosal tissue, which may cause blockage of the ostium.
Rather, it may represent the more localized thickening or mucositis that can occur in association with rarefying osteitis from a tooth with a nonvital pulp.
In contrast, in cases of infection, the thickened mucosal outline tends to be smoother, with its contour following that of the sinus wall.
Chronic sinusitis may result in persistent radiopacification of the sinus with sclerosis and thickening of the bony walls as the sinus periosteum is stimulated.
On history, sinus infections usually present with pain involving more than one tooth in the same maxillary quadrant, whereas a toothache usually involves only a single tooth.
As with other conditions for which the prolonged use of antibiotics is prescribed, the potential development of bacterial resistance needs to be considered.
Switching to a different class of antibiotics to treat an odontogenic infection is preferable to increasing the dosage of an antibiotic that the patient has recently taken for another condition.
Pharyngitis is defined as inflammation of the pharynx which is the back of throat, whereas tonsillitis is defined as inflammation of the tonsils.
Pharyngitis and tonsillitis are usually caused by bacterial or viral infection.The most common causative bacteria is group A b-hemolytic Streptococcus (GABHS) infection, specifically Streptococcus pyogenes infection.
Common findings include sore throat, fever, difficulty in swallowing, redness in the back of throat, white or gray patches at the back of throat and swollen lymph nodes.
A twilight switch is an electronic component that allows the automatic activation of a lighting circuit when natural light drops in a given environment.
Among a large number of uses, the most common is to enable automatic lighting of streets, roads, highways, roads, gardens, courtyards, etc., when sunlight drops below a certain level (e.g.
A circuit built with a twilight switch, in some cases, requires other components, such as relays or contactors, when you want to control a higher electrical power (lamps, electrical appliances, etc.
that detects the amount of light that illuminates an environment, it triggers an electrical circuit that opens or closes the contacts of a mechanical relay or of a solid state relay.
Generally, the natural lighting that goes directly to a photoresistor is used, with the effect of a lamp that automatically turns on at dusk and always goes out in the first light of dawn.
Thanks to this system, a wide range of examples of use are created, from lighting both public and private spaces to the simulation of presence, where the twilight switch provides the intermittent operation of a circuit.
There are more and more innovative models that allow greater sensitivity to sunlight, with which you can adjust the threshold so that the switch fires at a certain level of darkness, thus setting a delay on and off with respect to the ambient light level.
There are even models that do not turn on artificial light and distinguish it from natural light, although in some cases it may be convenient to combine them with time scheduling systems.
The most commonly used twilight switches are of the electromechanical type, which differ from electronic ones by the use of piloted relays already integrated in the circuit itself, and which allow small loads to be directly connected (for example, a single lamp).
In fact, they can vary from the shape of a lamp holder to that of a separate box (cylindrical, square, etc.
Pay attention to the number of lamps that power the device and its power in watts, following the instructions in the user manual, in order to avoid a dangerous current overload on the contacts of the drive relay, in fact, if higher loads are required, a contactor will need to be inserted.
For street lighting, for example, an individual twilight switch can be used, or a central switch that activates the other remote relays to turn on many lamps, so that the load that the central twilight switch must withstand is only the of the individual coils of the relays in parallel.
The main benefit of using a twilight switch is the considerable energy savings it brings, combined with the convenience of unnecessary time scheduling, which effectively regulates sunlight.
The major downside to doing the installation is that if you place artificial light near a photo-sensitive detector, the switch may not turn on.

The Ruisseau du Lac au Lard stream is a tributary of the west bank of the Jeannotte River, flowing in the western hydrographic slope of the Batiscan River, in the territory of the city of La Tuque, in the administrative region of Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada.
This hydrographic slope is served by the forest road R040, a bridge spanning the Lac au Lard stream, near its mouth.
The surface of the Lac au Lard stream (except the rapids areas) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from the end of December to the beginning of March.
This forest lake is mainly fed to the northwest by the discharge of a set of lakes including Lac de la Grosse Roche and by the Doucet River (coming from the south).
The mouth of this lake is located North-West of the mouth of the confluence of the Jeannotte River with the Batiscan river.
From the mouth of Lac au Lard, the Lac au Lard stream flows for north-east, up to the confluence of the river.
From the mouth, the current descends on to the south then east the course of the Jeannotte river, and on the course of the river Batiscan towards the south which pours on the northwest bank of the St. Lawrence River.
With the emergence of Cancer as a growing threat to Public health, the Indian Government, through the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, initiated the National Cancer Control Program (NCCP) in 1975.
Initially, the focus of the program was prevention as its aim was to educate the population and make detection and diagnosis resources available.
Another goal for the program was to increase capacity in the structures already dealing with cancer and address the short fallings of palliative care.
The program was subsequently revised between 1984 and 1985 to better set it up for success in its goal of reducing cancer morbidity and mortality in the country, mainly through primary prevention and early detection.
Since its creation, the program has had many major accomplishments such as the establishment of the National Cancer Registry Programme in 1982.
Even though the registry does not cover the whole population affected by cancer, it gives the most updated information on the burden of cancer in the country and informs policies enacted to fight against cancer such as provisions for additional funding to public hospitals and the creation of cancer centres in 27 regions.
Through the National Cancer Control Programme, the country was able to put in place effective policies to foster primary prevention such as a tobacco control policy to minimise the negative impacts from the use of tobacco.
The country also disposes of policies to control and prevent obesity and alcohol abuse, and policies to foster physical activity and ensure that is available for everyone.
The NCCP led to the creation of 27 cancer centres across the country, and 85 additional oncology programs in medical schools.
Problems of access are due to lack of financial means to afford the resources that are available or the lack of financial to make the decisions that would reduce the risks of developing the disease.
Availability is a major problem particularly in rural areas because the resources are concentrated in cities and solving the geographical gap between resources such as facilities and personal remains a challenge for the NCCP.

It has an archaeological site, the ancient site of Chakradhar where cultural sequences were stratified, from the Neolithic to the Indo-Greek and Kushan periods.
It is thought that the Indo-Greeks introduced their artistic styles into the area as they moved eastward from the area of Gandhara into South Kashmir.
The stratigraphy does not permit a precise dating of these statuettes, and the date has been broadly defined as probably pertaining to the period from the 2nd half of the 1st century BCE to the 1st or 2nd century CE, in effect covering the end of the Indo-Greek period to the early Kushan period.
A small independent cinema of Northern Mariana Islands, producing mostly documentary films, developed in the 21st century thanks to the efforts of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and of the Northern Marianas College.
On November 14, 2002, Bill PL 13-29 entered into force, which resulted in a new § 2151 of the Commonwealth Code.
It established within the Marianas Visitors Authority (MVA), a Commonwealth Film, Video and Media Office, also known as the Northern Mariana Islands Film Office.
First, it should attract foreign companies to produce movies in the Commonwealth through publicity, participation of the Film Manager and other officers in international cinema trade shows, and the improvement of the infrastructures in the islands.
The Commonwealth has placed high hopes on the ability of the Northern Marianas College to train local filmmakers through courses on cinematography.
In 2000, Butch Wolf, a professional American sound effect editor who lived in Saipan, cooperated with the college to create the Pacific Rim Academy, aimed at teaching local students the fundamentals of film-making.
In 2001, the Pacific Rim Academy ended its partnership with the Northern Marianas College and continued as a private for-profit company under the name Talk Story Studios, which specialized in producing commercials.
Galvin Deleon Guerrero, a teacher at Norther Marianas College and the principal of Saipan's Mount Carmel School, continued to work with students independently of Talk Story Studio.
The film was shot in Ladder Beach and American Memorial Park in Saipan and the actors were students, or former students, of Guerrero's cinematography courses.
However, the crew, extras, and some actors were from Saipan, and the Commonwealth supported the production, which was also helped by local citizens who participated in its crowdfunding.
Located at 10 Glasovsky Lane, it was one of the first houses in Moscow built in the Style Moderne, the Russian term for Art Nouveau.

The donkey in Tunisia is historically a working animal which has existed in Carthage since the Antiquity, and had by the end of the 19th century become widespread.
It is used for a number of domestic tasks, linked to travelling, the transportation of water, and to agriculture, more specifically, to the cultivation and pressing of olives.
The introduction of motorised vehicles considerably reduced their numbers, as their population fell by over half between 1996 and 2006, with a population of 123,000 recorded in 2006.
The consumption of donkey meat has always been controversial, and it is considered makruh to consume domesticated donkey meat in Islamic tradition.
l'Association pour la culture et les arts méditerranéens (ACAM) claimed in 2010 that the donkey is under threat of extinction in Tunisia.
Whatever its exact origins, the donkey was domesticated in Africa, the oldest proof of its use going back to the culture of Maadi-Bouto, in Egypt,in the 4th Millennium B.C...
The history of the donkey in Africa is notoriously difficult to study as, although the species was widely used, very little was written about it, no plans for the development nor for the improvement of the species were developed, and very few archaeological remnants are left.
Donkeys have been represented in cave paintings in areas of the Sahara since the earliest period of Antiquity, notably in Libya and Morocco.
For every sixty hectares of olive groves four donkeys were needed, three to bring manure to the soil, and one to power the oil mill.
Donkey remains have been found in Carthage which date back to between the first and fourth century, which are among the oldest archaeological proofs of the existence of donkeys in the Maghreb.
The consumption of donkey meat, would have, in all likelihood, been prohibited in Islam, to the extent that Muslims, as well as practising Christians in Tunisia, probably ate very little of it.
Ibn Battûta (1304-1377), who comes from what is now known as Morocco, noted his disgust at the fact that donkey meat was consumed in the Mali Empire.
However, at the start of the 16th Century, donkey meat was likely to have been eaten by the nomadic Berbers of Mauritania.
According to a 1887 description provided by the naturalist Jean-Marie de Lanessan, there were a very large number of donkeys:The population of the donkey in Tunisia reached its peak at the end of the 19th century, with various colonial sources reporting a population of 800,000.
The animal could be spotted in particular in the mountainous regions of the north-west, the centre and the south of the country, where the ground is less fertile.
The French protectorate were interested in rearing mules to supply to the army and sending French breeds of jacks, notably Pyrenean, Catalan and Savoyard breeds to stations in various breeding centres.
The Catalan donkey is known to be able to easily adapt to the Tunisian climate, in contrast with the Baudet du Poitou.
However, the donkey population saw a large increase between 1966 and 1996, growing from an estimated 163 000 to around 230 000.
In the 1990s, the remote locations of some schools and a lack of public transport made the usage of donkeys, either for pulling carriages or for carrying pupils on their backs, an indispensable tool for ensuring school attendance.
In small Tunisian family farms, such as the famous example of Sidi Abid (2002), familles preferred to purchase a donkey rather than a mule or a horse because the donkey is guaranteed to help with peasant work.
However, the rural species has undergone noticeable changes since the 1990s as the transition from nomadism to sedentism led to the gradual disappearance of donkeys and mules as they were replaced by motorised vehicles.
In addition to this, an epizootic of equine influenza hit the country in 1998, particularly in the Tozeur region, starting from the end of the month of January, whose spread affected horses, mules and donkeys equally.
The donkey still plays a major role in domains such as transport for minor agricultural work, as well as in ground work.
Well-drilling zones can be up to several kilometres away from inhabited areas and transporting water is achieved either by a tank wagon made from tinplate supported by two wheels, or via amphora urns (or more recently, via plastic water containers) which are filled up and brought back by women on the backs of donkeys.
The donkey is used less and less frequently in rural areas, reserved only for tasks such as gathering olives, with cars being used for day-to-day transport.
In Toujane, the traditional oil mill was previously run with the use of donkeys or with small dromedaries which were able to set in motion a stone base weighing approximately 150kg.
The roads in the Tunisian Great South (2004) can vary dramatically and all types of vehicles run along them, such as bicycles, Mobylettes, cars, share taxis and donkey wagons.
As of 2011, it was still possible to see older women travel on the back of a donkey in the village of Tamezret.
As of 2014, L'École supérieure des industries alimentaires de Tunis has been looking to promote the production and consumption of donkey milk, but its need to be refrigerated in order to preserve it poses a major problem.
Consumption of donkey meat is controversial; the majority of Tunisians claim to never eat it, but the rising prices of red meat (particularly in 2012 and 2013) probably encouraged a large number of people to consume it, especially in the month of Ramadan, which sees a sharp rise in the price of meat.
According to comments made in 2017 by Mohamed Rabhi, the director for the protection of health in the Tunisian Ministry for Public Health, the sale of donkey meat in Tunisia is perfectly legal.
However, the actual number of donkeys killed per year is believed to be around 30,000, most often to be sold fraudulently, mainly to produce merguez or shawarma : due to the infrequency of checks it is impossible to find out exactly where this fraudulent meat is sold.
The donkey holds very negative cultural connotations, its name serving as the equivalent to an animal epithet to call someone stupid or indecisive.

The ring was part of a tradition of stone circle construction that spread throughout much of Britain, Ireland, and Brittany during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age, over a period between 3300 and 900 BCE.
The purpose of such monuments is unknown, although some archaeologists speculate that the stones represented supernatural entities for the circle's builders.
He recorded the circle as consisting of eight stones at that time, with a possible avenue or stone row emerging from it and facing in the direction of the circle at Coate.
Later archaeologists have noted that some of the sarsens used as building material in Hodson were once part of the circle.
While the transition from the Early Neolithic to the Late Neolithic in the fourth and third millennia BCE saw much economic and technological continuity, there was a considerable change in the style of monuments erected, particularly in what is now southern and eastern England.
By 3000 BCE, the long barrows, causewayed enclosures, and cursuses that had predominated in the Early Neolithic were no longer built, and had been replaced by circular monuments of various kinds.
Stone circles are found in most areas of Britain where stone is available, with the exception of the island's south-eastern corner.
The tradition of their construction may have lasted for 2,400 years, from 3300 to 900 BCE, with the major phase of building taking place between 3000 and 1,300 BCE.
The archaeologist Mike Parker Pearson argues that in Neolithic Britain, stone was associated with the dead, and wood with the living.
In the area south of Swindon, a town in northern Wiltshire, at least seven stone circles are reported as having existed, often only a few miles distant from one another; the Fir Clump Stone Circle was for instance a mile south of the Broome Stone Circle.
All of these northern Wiltshire circles have been destroyed, although the vestiges of one survives: the stones at the Day House Lane Stone Circle in Coate, Swindon remain, albeit in a fallen state.
Passmore also produced two notebooks during that decade in which he wrote down observations deriving from his archaeological fieldwork in the region.
The contents of Passmore's notebooks and their references to the Fir Clump Stone Circle were not published until 2004, after they had been purchased by the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Society.
He also discovered three stones inside the circle, suggesting that these may have been part of an inner circle—in which case the Hodson Stone Circle would have consisted of two concentric rings, akin to the Day House Lane Stone Circle.
Alternatively, he suggested that the stones inside the circle may simply have been dumped there by farmers wanting them out of the way.
Here, he also suggested that the circle was about 250 feet (76m) in diameter, and was thus of a similar size to the Day House Lane Stone Circle.

A rich man wanted to know if the maid was actually as brave as she said and offered her five crowns to bring Skinny Jack to him.
When the siblings have finished listening to the story of Skinny Jack, their grandmother gives the boy a guitar and the girl a bag with magazines.
After Ida Ingström had told her grandchildren the story, she gave Gunnar Ericsson a guitar and Astrid Lindgren a thick book.

Hiawatha LRT Trail is a , multi-use bicycle path adjacent to a light-rail transit line in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, that is popular with bicycle commuters.
Users travel along the Metro Blue Line and Hiawatha Avenue transit corridor, reaching downtown Minneapolis near an indoor sports stadium at the trail’s northern end, and reaching a bridge above Minnehaha Creek at the trail’s southern end.
Picking up the trail at its northern terminus, after one city block, the trail mostly follows alongside the Metro Blue Line route diagonally southward, running on the east side of the train tracks.
The mixed-use path remains on the east side of Hiawatha Avenue, where prior to 2019 there was a gap in the trail, while the train crosses a rail-only bridge near East 28th Street.
After the Midtown Greenway area, mixed-use trail users heading southward stay east of Hiawatha Avenue on the newest trail segment until East 32nd Avenue.
From there, trail users must cross Hiawatha Avenue, picking up the Hiawatha LRT Trail as it rejoins the Metro Blue Line.
At East 46th Avenue, the trail crosses the light-rail tracks westward, then diverges from the transit way to traverse alongside Minnehaha Creek before reaching a bridge at East Minnehaha Parkway near Minnehaha Regional Park.
The transit way opened in 2004 with a mixed-use path running alongside the Hiawatha light-rail transit (LRT) line for most of its route.
The city’s first master bike plan in 2011 identified many opportunities for improvement to the Hiawatha LRT Trail, such as establishment of linear parkways, more bicycle racks, greater connectivity in the Cedar-Riverside area, and better lightning.
Public comments for an update to the plan in 2014 identified the need for greater trail inter connectivity and protected intersection crossings.
Bike-mounted safety volunteers of the organization patrol Hiawatha LRT Trail and Midtown Greenway, reporting suspicious behavior to the city and cleaning up the trails.
In 2018, Minneapolis opened Samatar Crossing, named after Hussein Samatar, to allow for more ways that Cedar-Riverside area visitors and residents could connect to Hiawatha LRT Trail, other neighborhoods, and downtown.
The relatively short Samatar Crossing trail runs parallel to Hiawatha LRT Trail, originating from the west side of the light-rail tracks near the Cedar–Riverside station, traversing over Interstate 35W, and eventually reaching 11th Street in downtown.
Compared to Hiawatha LRT Trail, the newer Samatar Crossing features greater path width, separate lanes for bicycles and pedestrians, better lightning, and the potential for public art installments.

The 2020 Santiago ePrix (formally the 2020 Antofagasta Minerals Santiago E-Prix) was an Formula E electric car race held at the Parque O'Higgins Circuit in the Parque O'Higgins of Santiago, Chile on 18 January 2020.
It served as the third round of the 2019–20 Formula E season and was the third annual edition of the event.
The race was won by Maximilian Günther, driving for BMW i Andretti Motorsport, who started from 2nd on the grid, and became the youngest ever Formula E race winner, with António Félix da Costa coming in second, while pole-sitter Mitch Evans finished the race third.
Finishing in 6th overall was sufficient to elevate Stoffel Vandoorne to the top the Drivers' Championship standings with 38, after the then-championship leader, Alexander Sims retired from the race with collision damage, demoting him to second, with 35 points.
Sam Bird's 10th place and fastest lap point enabled him to stay 3rd in the championship standings, with 28 points, while Günther's race win elevated him to 4th in the championship standings, with 25 points.
Lucas di Grassi's recovery drive from 22nd on the grid to 7th, netting him 6 points was also sufficient to keep him 5th in the championship standings, with 24 points.
In the Teams' Championship, BMW i Andretti Motorsport led with 60 points, while the Mercedes-Benz EQ Formula E Team slid to 2nd, with 56 points.
On 15 June 2019, Formula E announced the provisional calendar for the 2019–20 Formula E season, which would be the sixth season of the championship, with 14 races to be held across 12 cities globally.
On 5 October 2019, Formula E announced the finalised calendar for the season, which would see 14 races to be held across 12 cities globally.
This finalised calendar would see the race bumped up to the 3rd round of the championship, with the TBA round in December being cancelled.
Ahead of the race, in November 2019, concerns were raised about the race, due to the 2019–20 Chilean protests, which had seen postponements and suspensions of football fixtures earlier in the month, with the APEC and COP25 summits, which had been set to be hosted in the city also being cancelled, while the Copa Libertadores final was moved to Lima, Peru and Rally Chile was cancelled.
In spite of the concerns, the event was officially launched of 13 November, while Formula E would continue to monitor the social-political situation in the city.
Formula E later reaffirmed its commitment to racing the city, while it was later revealed that unlike Rally Chile, the race was privately-funded, with the money needed to put on the race in Santiago's O'Higgins Park coming from the event organisers, without government funding.
Ahead of the race, changes to the track layout were made, most notably at the curving back straight, where the chicane was removed, while the pit lane was moved to the other side of the track, to the inside of the circuit.
In addition, the sweeping right hander which was the former Turn 1 was modified, with a new left hander being added ahead of the revised corner.
The final sector of the lap also saw changes, with the zig-zagging section of the track being reversed compared to the previous year.
The removal of the chicane came as Formula E looked to reduce the number of chicanes on the tracks in the championship, in the wake of several accidents happening at such locations in several races, with the highest profile incident seeing a pile-up at the first corner during the 2019 Swiss ePrix blocking the track, and causing a lengthy red flag period.
Mitch Evans scored both his, and Jaguar Racing's 2nd ever pole in the ABB Formula E Championship, after topping the timesheets in both the qualifying groups, and the Superpole shootout.
During the superpole shootout, he denied Maximilian Günther pole by a margin of nearly 3 tenths, after clocking in an impressive time at the final sector of the track, being 0.22s faster than the rest of the competition, despite being the last to leave the pits for the track.
Prior to the Kiwi's sensational run in the final sector of the track, it had appeared that the German would be set to clinch his first ever Formula E pole, having clocked the fastest time in the first 2 sectors of the track, to beat his fellow countryman, Pascal Wehrlein to provisional pole by nearly 6 tenths.
The Mahindra driver had left the pits first for his Superpole lap, and ended up posting a lap slower than his effort in the Group stage.
Felipe Massa came in fourth, edging out Oliver Turvey, who had posted a phenomenal time in the final sector during the Group 4 session, in his NIO 333 machine.
Season 2 champion Sébastien Buemi came in 6th, and last in the Superpole session, after posting 2 slow sectors in his Nissan.
Behind the superpole runners, qualifying 7th was the Venturi run Mercedes of Edoardo Mortara, who had his lap affected, due to an incident with fellow Group 2 runner Robin Frijns, after Frijns experienced a spin on his flying lap.
A massive rear end snap under braking spun Frijns around on the approach to Turn 1, where he barely missed the tyre wall.
In spite of this, Mortara was still able to set the fastest time in Group 2, courtesy of a strong final sector, and held provisional pole at the time.
Behind Mortara were the 2 factory-run Mercedes of Nyck de Vries, and his teammate Stoffel Vandoorne, while António Félix da Costa rounded out the top 10, in his DS Techeetah.
Reigning series champion Jean-Éric Vergne's tricky start to the season continued, the Frenchman coming in P11, over a second slower than his teammate, ahead of the leading Porsche of Neel Jani.
Alexander Sims saw his pole streak come to an end, the championship leader coming in 15th, ahead of the Envision Virgin Racing run Audi of Sam Bird, and the Dragon-Penske of Brendon Hartley.
Jérôme d'Ambrosio suffered car trouble towards the end of his flying lap, leaving him languishing down in 20th, after failing to start the second race at Ad Diriyah due to a technical issue.
Behind d'Ambrosio, was the Virgin run Audi of Frijns, his spin dealing him a penalty in terms of his final laptime, while Lucas di Grassi had his lap affected by a crash by Oliver Rowland, which initially cost him a few tenths, before the Season 3 champion ruined his own laptime by running wide at Turn 9.
Behind him, was the Nissan of Rowland, the Brit crashing heavily during the Group 1 session, and forcing his team, e.DAMS to scramble against the clock to prepare his car in time for the race.
Ma Qinghua propped up the grid, and did not participate in the session, after he crashed in Practice 2, and the NIO 333 FE Team mechanics were unable to repair his car in time for the session.
Maximilian Günther scored his first ever Formula E race victory, becoming the youngest ever Formula E race winner, after triumphing in a last lap battle with António Félix da Costa.
Polesitter Mitch Evans came in 3rd for Panasonic Jaguar Racing, benefitting from a penalty issued to Nyck de Vries, who had come in third on the road.
At the start, Evans held the lead off the line, while Mahindra Racing’s Pascal Wehrlein forced his way past Günther, who suffered from a poor start, at the tight off-track approach to Turn 2, which the field used throughout the race.
From this point onwards, the race quietened down, until past the 40th minute, when Günther’s teammate, the championship leader Alexander Sims, ground to a halt on track, prompting a full-course yellow, while the stewards removed his car, with the FCY being lifted at the 37 minute mark on the clock.
In less than a lap after the restart, Oliver Rowland made contact with Sam Bird, damaging his front wing and putting Bird into a spin.
Using his Attack Mode power boost, Günther advanced on Edoardo Mortara, using the extra power to sweep past the Venturi driver and to move back into third.
With Mortara in fourth and his teammate Felipe Massa in fifth, the two Venturi cars trailed the podium sitters, seemingly ready to pick up a podium, should any of the top 3 suffer from issues.
However, this was not to be, as the duo activated Attack Mode against each other in a bid to attack overtake and defend from the other.
Meanwhile, up front, Günther activated Attack Mode to pass Wehrlein for second and with still a minute on his attack mode, Günther went for the lead, slipping past Evans on the approach to Turn 9, the extra power on hand for the German giving the Kiwi no chance to defend his position.
With 14 minutes to go, Vergne and his teammate António Félix da Costa became the next drivers to pass the Mahindra of Pascal Wehrlein, the pair bumping Wehrlein down to fifth.
Having made eight-places since the start of the race, damage to Vergne's front wing finally appeared to be affecting the Frenchman's car, his front-left tire starting to rub on the wing, leaving a trail of smoke behind him.
With both cars coming into Turn 10 together, Da Costa forced the BMW driver wide, locking up his fronts at the turn-10 hairpin and bumping along the side of the BMW, pulling into first place.
However, in spite of this, Da Costa soon found his lead under threat from Günther, due to him having to nurse battery temperatures, and on the last lap, Günther stormed past Da Costa at Turn 9, pulling away from the Portuguese, and winning by a margin of 2.067s.

When his wife Betty divorced him on October 15, 1881 in Zürich-Wollishofen, Friedrichs had to pay her these 90,000 marks (as of 2016 approx.
After Betty remarried in 1882 and had a romantic winegrower's villa built in Cochem with her second husband Johann Josef Schunck (1849-1893) in 1884/85, Friedrichs acquired a plot of land in the immediate vicinity of the villa at the end of August 1885.
The Mahnhand, erroneously called the Oath-hand, is made of copper-plate, is about 1.05 m large and 0.7 m wide and weighs 13.1 kg.
The fact that the hand appears golden today is due to a coating that was applied as a permanent protection against corrosion.
When the tower was opened for the first time in 1928, a life-size white statue of Christ made of Carrara marble was found inside.
The owner, Friedrich's eldest son, Medical Officer of Health Alphons Friedrichs (* October 10, 1868 in Meiningen) left it to the parish of Cond, which had it installed in the War Memorial Chapel in the former steeple of St. Remaclus Church.
When the property with the tower on it was sold again in the 1960s, the new owner removed the roof construction because the roof was no longer in good condition.
The building permit for the construction project had previously been issued by the Rhineland-Palatinate Monuments Office with effect from March 22, 2019.

The International Supply Chain Education Alliance (ISCEA) is a supply chain professionals certifying body best known for becoming the first organization validating the knowledge of supply chain managers around the world and providing them with the CSCM (Certified Supply Chain Manager) designation.
Founded in 2003 and currently holding over 100,000 members, ISCEA has its World HQ office in Beachwood, OH, USA and regional offices in LATAM, EMEA and APAC.
Besides Certified Supply Chain Manager (CSCM) certification, ISCEA has developed several professional certification programs that include: Certified Supply Chain Analyst (CSCA), Certified Lean Master (CLM), Certified RFID Supply Chain Manager (RFIDSCM), Certified Demand Driven Planner (CDDP), Certified HealthCare Supply Chain Analyst (CHSCA); and Certified Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt (CLSSYB), Green Belt (CLSSGB) and Black Belt (CLSSBB).
The term Supply Chain Management (SCM) was coined in the early eighties (1982) by Booz Allen Consultant, Keith Oliver , but remained only a buzzword for many years.
The holistic concept of a cross-functional set of processes aimed to fulfill the customer’s needs, started to make sense to companies, consultants and academics in the early nineties.
It was until the decade’s end, when technology enabled Business Process Integration throughout each company and extended to other companies, that the term SCM was widely adopted.
ISCEA’s founding members identified the need of a professional SCM certification organization and developed the Certified Supply Chain Manager (CSCM) certification program.
In 2005 ISCEA started awarding the Ptak Prize for Supply Chain Excellence, an Annual Prize aimed to recognize corporations achieving significant improvement through Vision, Business Rules, and Technology.
The Ptak Prize is currently awarded in the following categories: Supply Chain Excellence, Global Case Competition, Supply Chain Professional of the Year, Best of the Best ERP Solution and 30 Under 30 Global Supply Chain Leaders.
He is currently Chair of Technology Committee of ISCEA's International Standards Board (IISB), and he is also Editor in Chief of the International Supply Chain Technology Journal (ISCTJ) and Associate Dean for Graduate Studies in the College of Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington.
SCNext provides students and young supply chain professionals with webinars, scholarships, conferences, journal articles and networking opportunities that would help them build their careers.
Besides being a Supply Chain, Operations, Engineering and Technology professionals gathering, SCTECH provides Professional Development Units (PDUs) to ISCEA's certified professional so that they can renew their certification credentials.
In 2006 Seguro Popular, a governmental health-care institution created in 2002; issued an RFID technology mandate to authenticate and improve drug safety within its supply chain.
ISCEA served as RFID technical advisor to the Mexican government providing guidance on best practices to implement RFID technology in Seguro Popular's Supply Chain Model, and also providing with RFID Supply Chain Manager (RFIDSCM) certification to Mexican Pharma Manufacturers and Distributors looking to comply with the mandate.
Seguro Popular was later replaced by Insabi during the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, but ISCEA's presence has been expanding in Mexico and other Latin American countries ever since.
ISCEA has been active in the region through partnerships with Universities, delivering awards, participating in supply chain events and contributing with articles to supply chain media in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panamá, Perú and other countries.
Since 2010 ISCEA has been providing supply chain knowledge and advise in the Middle East, organizing Supply Chain Management Summits and certification workshops in UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Corsia ornata is a species of flowering plant in the genus of the small family Corsiaceae, part of the monocot order Liliales.
From the rhizomes, arise long, cylindrical and finely corrugated, unbranched and upright growing stems that are terete (almost circular in cross section) and narrowly ribbed.
Leaves are reduced to acute (sharply pointed) sheath-shaped scales 1–2 cm in length, arranged alternately on the stem, with 3–5 nerves and similar bracts.
Of the six tepals (in two whorls), five are linear, obtuse and pale yellow in colour, 11–13  millimeters long, one-nerved and hairless.
The sixth, outer tepal, called the labellum, is either light yellow to light purple with a darker purple veins nerve or purplish brown.
It has a basal callus that is white, broadly shell-shaped, 2-3.5 mm long and around 2.5 mm wide, with a tip that is rounded or slightly acuminate, finely papillate at the margins with 8 or 9 lateral nerves that are variously branched and 16–18 short lamellae radiating from the basal callus that are distinctly pilose.
Media coverage of the 2016 presidential election was a source of controversy during and after the 2016 election, with various candidates, campaigns and supporters alleging bias against candidates and causes.
Trump received more extensive media coverage than Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders combined during a time when those were the only primary candidates left in the race.
Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders received less than two-thirds of the coverage of Hillary Clinton who was more frequently reported on in every week of the primaries.
Among the general election candidates, Trump received inordinate amounts of coverage on his policies and issues, as well as on his personal character and life, whereas Hillary Clinton's emails controversy was a dominant feature of her coverage, earning more media coverage than all of her policy positions combined.
From the beginning of his campaign through February 2016, Trump received almost $2 billion in free media attention, twice the amount that Clinton received.
According to data from the Tyndall Report, which tracks nightly news content, through February 2016, Trump alone accounted for more than a quarter of all 2016 election coverage on the evening newscasts of NBC, CBS and ABC, more than all the Democratic campaigns combined.
Analyses by Columbia Journalism Review, the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, and the Shorenstein Center at the Harvard Kennedy School show that the Clinton email controversy received more coverage in mainstream media outlets than any other topic during the 2016 presidential election.
Cruz suggested that the media were deliberately boosting Trump's candidacy, and that they were holding back damaging stories about him until he won the nomination.
Bernie Sanders, the Sanders campaign, the Shorenstein Center, supporters and alternative media sources have said that the mainstream media were structurally prone to ignore Bernie Sanders in 2016.
For these commentators, evidence of bias includes: minimal media coverage, negative or scant coverage at crucial times, and insufficient focus on policy in media coverage.
According to Thomas E. Patterson, Sanders got two-thirds of Clinton's media coverage during the Democratic primary as a whole, as compared to 78% of the votes she got in the Democratic primary.
He won a silver medal at the 2012 Summer Paralympics and a gold at the 2016 Summer Paralympics, both in the Class 4–5 team event.

A tapered double-clad fiber (T-DCF) is a double-clad optical fiber which is formed using a specialised fiber drawing process, in which temperature and pulling forces are controlled to form a taper along the length of the fiber.
By using pre-clad fiber preforms both the fiber core and the inner and outer cladding layers vary in diameter and thickness along the full length of the fiber.
This tapering of the fiber enables the combination of the characteristics of conventional 8–10 µm diameter double-clad single-mode fibers to propagate light in fundamental mode with those of larger diameter (50–100 µm) double-clad multi-mode fibers used for optical amplification and lasing.
The result is improved maintenance of pulse fidelity compared to conventional consistent diameter fiber amplifiers.By virtue of the large cladding diameter T-DCF can be pumped by optical sources with very poor brightness factor such as laser diode bars or even VECSELs matrices, significantly reducing the cost of fiber lasers/amplifiers.
The T-DCF amplifier was first conceived and demonstrated at Tampere University in the research group of Professor Oleg Okhotnikov in 2008.
The technology was granted a patent in 2013 as a means to overcome the nonlinear optical effects which previously limited the power-scaling of fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers.
Increasing the diameter of a cylindrical optical fiber amplfiers generally increases the level of non-linear effects such as stimulated Brillouin scattering.
The result forming a tapered geometry double-clad fiber is that the light introduced into the thin end propagates in a wide core without changing the mode content.
Consequently, the use of T-DCF for optical amplification in a multi-mode fiber maintains good beam quality by elevating the thresholds of stimulation of non-linear effects including Brillouin and Raman scattering and spontaneous emission.
Using tapered fiber with thick end core diameters of up to 200 µm with a 0.11 numerical aperture and record peak power and energy amplification levels 60 ps pulses with 300 µJ energy free of non-linear distortions have been reported.
The double-clad structure of the fiber means the core can be pumped with higher-power than could be propagated in the fiber.
The absorption and conversion of pump light per unit length is increased in the tapered fiber compared to cylindrical fibers with similar levels of active ion doping.
This is due to the improved clad mode mixing and the higher absorption at the thicker end of the taper due to the much thicker cladding which also means the rare earth ion dopants are beneficially concentrated at the wide end of a T-DCF, since the geometry defines their presence as directly proportional to the square of the diameter.
This higher absorption enables amplification of ultrafast lasers by very short amplifiers only tens of centimeters long, providing high fidelity ultrashort pulse amplification.
The preform production for special high power fibers (microstructured rod type fibers, 3C or LCF fibers) involves complex technology and strict structural requirements.
Simple production techniques of varying of the drawing speed during the pulling process leads to the fiber diameter changing along its length.

The Chetnik sabotage of Axis communication lines was campaign of Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland (commonly known as Chetniks) sabotage of Axis communication lines, mostly along the rivers Morava, Vardar and Danube, to obstruct transport of German war material through Serbia to Thessaloniki and further to Libya during Western Desert campaign.
After initial support to Mihailovićs Chetniks tactics used against Axis forces in Serbia, since the closing of Summer 1942 the British started to believe that such actions were not enough.
On the other hand, the German command decided that such actions were enough for them to make decision to annihilate Chetniks.
The British General Harold Alexander sent personal telegram to Draža Mihailović before the offensive against Rommel in Africa, requesting him to organize a large-scale campaign against Axis lines of communication in order to obstruct transport of German war material through Serbia to Thessaloniki and further to Libya.
Mihailović wanted to keep British confidence in Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland, which was bound to strain because tacit cooperation with Italians, Mihailović decided to engage his forces in German occupied Serbia in a sabotage campaign against German railway transports.
The sabotage actions against railway was the least risky and could prove to the Allies that Chetniks are able to create diversions in the German rear in case of Allied invasion to Balkans.
The Chetniks launched campaign of attacks on Axis railways, mostly to important Belgrade-Niš-Thessaloniki railway over which Axis forces moved big quantities of ware materials for transshipment from Thessaloniki to African front.
The Chetnik sabotage of railways began on 31 April 1942 when Captain Lazović ordered all commanders of brigades to establish groups of four people who work on railway to work for Chetniks and who will take out fuel, food and arms from trains.
Many of the railway workers were informants of Mihailovic and informed him about important supply deliveries or important movement of German troops.
In May 1942 Mihailović demanded heavy explosives from the British command to be used for destruction of the German supply lines running through Serbia and Aegean to German troops in North Africa.
On 26 August Mihailović sent instructions to Major Radoslav Đurić to organize diversion teams of three men for sabotage actions on the railway between Vranje and Belgrade.
According to text published in the Atlantic magazine, the German forces lost 15% of their war supplies because of the sabotage campaign of Mihailović's Chetniks during the Summer of 1942.
On 20 September 1942 Slobodan Jovanović, the president of the Yugoslav Government in Exile informed Mihailović about the request of General Alexander, British commander in the Middle East, that Chetniks should attack Axis communication lines and do another favor to Allied cause.
On 25 September 1942 Jovanović sent another message to General Mihailović with request to sabotage Axis transports of war material toward Thessaloniki, emphasizing that it is of vital interest for Allied cause.
On 6 November Jovanović sent another message to General Mihailović, emphasizing that British side recognizes Chetnik successful actions until then and the scale of reprisals this actions caused.
Jovanović further informed Mihailović that British side requested from Chetniks to double their efforts underlining that it would be most direct and most useful contribution to struggle of Allied forces in Africa.
After his arrival to Chetnik HQ, Bailey decided to reinforce British missions to Chetniks with well trained military sappers who could help Chetniks to be more effective in sabotaging German lines of communications.
Of the 362 locomotives that operated on the railway line Belgrade-Niš-Thessaloniki the Chetniks reported that 112 out of action by December 1942.
A member of American mission John Jock from Chicago was assigned to Avala Corps of Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland, also of Yugoslav descent, who was main organizer for of sabotages on the railway Belgrade-Nis and Belgrade-Raska-Kosovska Mitrovica.
In his post-war memoirs Chetnik officer Radomir Petrović Kent emphasized that Chetnik Boljevac Brigade under his command conducted 40 diversions on railway used for German transports to Rommels forces during the battle in Africa.
Based on the British requests headquarters of the Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland ordered their forces to prepare to sabotage the railways in German occupied Serbia.
Following on from these orders, Dragutin Keserović who was a commander of Rasina Corps issued a general direction urging peasants in his area of operations to hide grain, livestock and fodder from the occupying forces.
Based on the agreement between Draža Mihailović and Colonel William Bailey who was head of British Liason Officers at Chetnik HQ, nine British sub-missions that had their own separate radio communication with SOE base in Cairo were transported by airplanes and parachuted to headquarters of various Chetnik Corps since April 1943.
The first mission under command of Major Eric Greenwood was parachuted to Homolje in HQ of Krajina Corps under command of Velimir Piletić and second group of two officers, Major Jasper Rootem and New Zealand Colonel Edgar Hargreeves joined them on 21 May 1943.
They participated in attack of Chetniks of Krajina Corps on German boats on Danube and other acts of sabotage of German railway transports trough Serbia.
Mihailović could not believe that British and Americans could support Communists against him so he continued to act as part of the Allies and stepped up anti-German sabotage in the second half of 1943.
The reason for attacking German boats on Danube in October 1943 in village Boljetin in Đerdap was to sink them and to block this important transport route for Axis forces.
On 1 December 1942 Mihalovic received a greeting from the Chief of the British Imperial General Staff Alan Brooke who expressed his felecitations for the wonderful undertaking of the Yugoslav Army.
Historian Milazzo emphasize that Yugoslav Government in Exile and Mihailović as its member did not want to subject the people of Serbia to German reprisals, like those in 1941, so the sabotage campaign was shortlived after being initiated only in early August 1942.
Even during 1944, when communists were repeatedly attacking Chetniks mostly with arms and supplies they received from Allies or with their support, the Chetniks sabotaged German communications, engaged in smaller battles and rescued Allied airmen shot down in Yugoslavia.
Because of the Chetnik sabotage campaign Germans decided to settle accounts once for all with Mihailovićs Chetniks, while on the other hand British command expected more of it.
Hitler blamed Chetniks in Serbia for his defeat in Africa and issued an order for complete annihilation of all Chetnik forces also sent to Mussolini in a letter on 16 February 1943.
The post war Yugoslav sources published information about negotiations between Chetniks and Germans who insisted that Chetniks should cease struggle and sabotage actions against German forces and their allies as precondition for eventual agreement.

The Château de la Motte Husson is currently owned by Dick Strawbridge and his wife Angela, and is the setting for the popular Channel Four programe Escape to the Chateau.
It consisted of a kitchen, cellar, 4 or 5 bedrooms per top, attic above, a chapel, a portal where there is a drawbridge, a bedroom on the said portal, a dovecote, on the whole, covered with slates, behind a small courtyard, ditches and moats around the courtyards, a kennel near the gate.
The current façade is reflective of the efforts of Countess Louise-Dorothée Baglion de la Dufferie (1826–1902), who told her husband that she wanted a grand residence built on the site of the fort.
The new structure would be flanked by two large towers, known as 'pepper shakers' and with a double-ramped staircase, five floors and 47 rooms with separate private suites for Master and Lady, with servant quarters on the second floor and attic space.
The Château is surrounded by the old square moats, with a Walled Garden, Stable-block, an Orangery, and 12 acres of parkland.
Interestingly, Countess Louise-Dorothée Baglion de la Dufferie main residence was near Nantes, a hundred miles to the South West, and the family decided to spend winters in the milder maritime climate, with the Chateau serving as a summer retreat for the family.
Latterly Guy de Baglion de la Dufferie had received the bare title to it from Xavier Marie Octave, Count de Baglion de la Dufferie and his wife, Elisabeth Marie Joseph Marthe Charlotte Treton de Vaujuas de Langan in 1954, as a part of a dowry.
In 2015, the estate was sold by Baglion de la Dufferie family to British television presenter Dick Strawbridge and his (then) partner Angela for £280,000.
Over the past 5 years, the couple, along with children, Arthur and Dorothy (and Angela parents) have lovingly restored the property and the outlining buildings with the help of friends and family.

Marcus Joshua Carr (born June 6, 1999) is a Canadian college basketball player for the Minnesota Golden Gophers of the Big Ten Conference.
In 2015, he won the Ontario All-Catholic Classic and was named most valuable player (MVP) after scoring 16 points in the final.
As a senior, he averaged 9.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, playing on the same team as the top recruit in the 2018 class, RJ Barrett.
His team, which was ranked among the best in the country, achieved a 26–5 record and a runners-up finish at High School Nationals.
Carr was a three-star recruit and chose to play for Pittsburgh over offers from Cincinnati, Houston and Virginia Tech, among others.
As a true freshman, he played in all 32 of Pitt's games with 27 starts and averaged 10.0 points, 4.0 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game.
Carr announced that he would be leaving the program after head coach Kevin Stallings was fired at the end of the season in which the Panthers finished a disappointing 8-24.
Carr sat out one year due to NCAA transfer rules after his request for a waiver that would allow him to play immediately was denied.
After recovering from a major knee injury, Carr was not invited to training camp for the 2016 FIBA Under-17 World Championship.
Carr's older brother, Duane Notice, played college basketball for South Carolina and helped the Gamecocks reach the final four round of the 2017 NCAA Tournament.
Philo Clark Calhoun (December 4, 1810 – March 21, 1882) was an American industrialist, banker, and politician who served as president of the Fourth National Bank of New York.
His paternal grandparents were the former Tabitha Clark and Dr. John Calhoun of Washington, Connecticut, a member of the Committee of Inspection in 1775 and a member of the Connecticut Legislature in 1782.
When he was sixteen years old, he went to Bridgeport, Connecticut to become an apprentice with Lyon, Wright & Co., a saddle and harness business.
After he finished his term of service, his employer sent him to Charleston, South Carolina as assistant manager of the firm there.
In 1838, the firm name was changed to Lyon, Calhoun & Co. After Lyon's retirement from the business, his interest was purchased by Henry K. Harral, the mayor of Bridgeport and the firm name was changed to Harral, Calhoun & Co. although Calhoun essentially ran the entire business.
In 1875, upon the dissolution of Hoover, Calhoun & Co., he established the Peters and Calhoun Manufacturing Company, a stock company for the manufacture of saddlery in Newark, New Jersey in which he was the controlling owner with an office at 691 Broadway in New York.
He also served as a director of the Farragut Fire Insurance Co., treasurer of the Central Coal Co., and trustee of the mortgagees of several railroad companies.
In 1852, he became Alderman and in 1855, he himself was elected mayor of Bridgeport by a heavy majority, serving as the Democratic mayor until 1858.

Originally created in 2003 by Graeme Sweet, 010 Editor was designed to fix problems in large multibeam bathymetry datasets used in ocean visualization.
When 010 Editor executes a Binary Template on a binary data file, each variable defined in the Binary Template is mapped to a set of bytes in the binary file and added to a hierarchial tree structure.
The tree structure can then be used to view and edit data in the binary file in an easier fashion than using the raw hex bytes.
When a binary file is opened in 010 Editor and a Binary Template exists for the file, the software can automatically download and install the Template.
Data files in 010 Editor are stored as a series of blocks, where each block can either point to a block of data somewhere on disk or in memory.
When a large section of data from a binary file is copied to another binary file, a new block pointer is inserted into the file but the actual data is not copied.
Currently when large text blocks are opened or copied the data is scanned for linefeeds, meaning there may be a delay before editing can resume.

They gifted Innisfallen Island and the ruins of an abbey to the Irish state in 1973, bestowing guardianship of Ross Island and its castle to the state.
For a nominal fee, they turned over the entire estate to the state in 1979, stipulating a life tenancy of the house and some land, with the rest of the land being incorporated into Killarney National Park.
She was awarded two honorary doctorates in 1977, one from LaSalle University, Philadelphia and one from her alma mater, Rosemont College.
King was born in Cork City, the eldest son of Sarah King (her married and maiden name) and Joseph King (grocer and naval supplier).
He held various positions for the first 20 years of his career, including serving as a curate in counties Dublin, Londonderry and Armagh.
He was also an Irish language scholar, and authored several books in Irish, including a grammar and a reedited version of the Book of Common Prayer in Irish (1860).
In his nine first-class appearances, he scored 138 runs at an average of 9.85 and a high score of 38 not out.

Nikolay Vasilyevich Rudanovsky (, 1819 — 1882) was a Russian marine officer and explorer, notable for leading several expeditions in 1853-54 to survey and to map the southern part of Sakhalin.
His father was an officer, a participant of the War of 1812, who subsequently retired from the Army and started a civil service career.
In 1841, Rudanovsky completed naval training in Kronstadt and served for 10 years in the Baltic Fleet before being transferred in 1851 to the Kamchatka Flotilla, based in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
The commander of the Amur Expedition, Gennady Nevelskoy, assigned Rudanovsky and his people under the command of Nikolay Busse, who later became the military governor of Amur Oblast.
In September, they arrived to Sakhalin and founded Muravyovsky Post, the first Russian settlement on the island and the predecessor of the town of Korsakov.
In particular, in late 1853 and early 1854 he mapped the east coast of Aniva Bay and crossed the island to the East to the Sea of Okhotsk.
However, in 1854, the Crimean War started, and the Russian Empire was afraid that Great Britain would attack Russian settlements at the Pacific coast.
After the war, in July 1856, the military post in Due was founded, which again became the first Russian settlement on the island.
In July 1857, he was ordered to found a new settlement, Ilyinsky Post, which was abandoned in the same year but founded at the same location in 1858.
At the time, Sakhalin Island was jointly administered by Russia and Japan, however, the Russian government anticipated that it would be divided between the two, and in July 1858 Rudanovsky was ordered to survey the island and determine the location of prospective border.
It was established on 15 December 1899, providing basic local government to the rural areas around the mining town of Broad Arrow, which had already been incorporated as the Municipality of Broad Arrow in 1897.
The town of Paddington separated as the Municipality of Paddington on 14 June 1901 following agitation from disgruntled residents who felt that they were not receiving their fair proportion of board expenditure.
It absorbed the Broad Arrow township and re-absorbed Paddington on 12 August 1910, when the amalgamated Municipality of Broad Arrow-Paddington merged into the district.
It had been proposed at this time to merge the Broad Arrow Road District into the North East Coolgardie Road District based in Kanowna; however, this was abandoned following the amalgamation with the merged municipality.
It absorbed the small towns of Cane Grass, Gimlet, Ora Banda and Waverley from the Coolgardie Road District in late 1911, after complaining that the roads to these towns went through the Broad Arrow board's territory, meaning that they were spending money on these areas and receiving no revenue from it.
It ceased to exist on 7 July 1922, when it merged into the Kalgoorie Road District, becoming the Broad Arrow Ward of that district.
William Seymour, Jr. (October 2, 1818 – January 9, 1882) was an American banker who twice served as president of the New York Stock Exchange.
After Phenix Bank, he founded the brokerage firm of Seymour & Hays, located at 54 Wall Street, with DeWitt C. Hays, who later became president of the Union Bank.
He was twice chosen to serve as president of the Exchange, first in 1864 until 1865, and secondly in 1870 until 1871.
He focused on stringent, comprehensive laws of the Exchange and, reportedly, it was his idea to establish a system of safety vaults under the Exchange Building.

The 1953 Coronation Honours in New Zealand, celebrating the coronation of Elizabeth II, were appointments made by the Queen on the advice of the New Zealand government to various orders and honours to reward and highlight good works by New Zealanders.
It was presumably also here that he met his later Aden correspondents Yūsuf Ben Abraham (a trader and judicial functionary) and the merchant Khalaf ibn Isḥāq, along with Maḍmūn's brother-in-law Abū-Zikrī Judah ha-Kohen Sijilmāsī and Abū-Zikrī's brother-in-law Maḥrūz.
By 1132, Abraham had moved to the trading port of Mangalore in the region of India then known to Arab traders as Malabar.
A hint in a fragmentary letter from Maḍmūn to Abraham suggests that Abraham had got into difficulties with a king in Aden and that these difficulties had made his move to India expedient.
The earliest securely datable records of Abraham's life in India are a deed of manumission recording that he freed a female slave called Ashu on 17 October 1132, with a second document confirming this.
By 1135, Maḍmūn is recorded sending a gift of coral for Abraham's son Surūr, attesting that Abraham had a son by this time.
At any rate, other correspondence indicates that Abraham had a brother-in-law called Nāīr, which is thought to indicate the membership of Abraham's wife's family in the Nair community of south-west India.
Correspondence from Maḍmūn to Abraham indicates that while Abraham lived in Mangalore, he had a slave who acted as his agent on voyages back to Aden.
Goods traded by Abraham to Aden include cardamom, a delivery of which was the subject of some dispute in the surviving correspondence between Abraham and both Yūsuf ibn Abraham and Khalaf ibn Isḥāq, areca nuts, pepper, and manufactured goods such as locks and brass bowls.
His activities in Mangalore took him to the neighbouring towns of Budfattan (possibly Baliapatam), Fandarīna (Pantalayini Kollam), Dahfattan (Dharmadam) and Jurbattan (Srikandapuram).
In 1145, Abraham wrote to Abū-Zikrī on behalf of Abū-Zikrī's brother-in-law Maḥrūz to facilitate Abū-Zikrī's escape from Gujarat, where he had been left after being kidnapped by pirates, to Malabar.
The 1140s also saw Abraham seeking to correspond with his brothers Mubashshir (then in Messina, Sicily) and Yūsuf (then in Mazzara, also in Sicily), and a letter to them of 11 September 1149 indicates that he had by then returned to Aden.
The letter expresses his desire to reunite his family in Aden, to use his wealth to ameliorate their hardship, and to marry his son to one of his nieces.
The letter reached Mubashshir, who did not show it to Yūsuf, but made his was to Aden, where he proceeded to defraud Abraham of, in Abraham's words, 'a thousand dinars'.
Around this time, Abraham's son Surūr died and Abraham moved inland to Dhū Jibla, becoming a senior figure in the community there and leaving his daughter Sitt in Aden with Khalaf ibn Isḥāq.
After three years, Khalaf asked for Abraham's permission for Sitt to marry one of Khalaf's sons, but Abraham refused, moved with her to Egypt, and instead wrote to his brother Yūsuf requesting that he give one of his sons or a son of their sister Berākhā to Sitt in marriage.
It appears that Bomma followed Abraham from India to Cairo, where Abraham recorded that he owed Bomma money in his accounts.
Surūr's younger brother Moshe followed soon after; he was kidnapped by pirates and taken to Tyre but was freed and met his brother in Egypt.
Péter Jakab (born 16 August 1980 in Miskolc, Hungary) is a Hungarian politician, President of Jobbik and member of the National Assembly.
He was a Member of the House Committee on Legislation from 2018 to 2019 and he was the Vice Chairman of the Committee on Justice in 2019 in the Hungarian National Assembly.
In 2010, he was the councilman in Miskolc City Council and a member of the City Council's Legal and Public Security Committee.
He got 20.53% of the votes, finishing third behind incumbent mayor Ákos Kriza (42.37%) and former city Police Chief Albert Pásztor (33.26%).
He got 20597 votes, which was 127 less than Fidesz' Katalin Csöbör's, making it the closest single-member constituency race in these elections.
After he was elected Member of Parliament he became the party's Deputy Group Leader in January 2019, then Group Leader after Márton Gyöngyösi was elected as MEP.
Since Jobbik's board collectively resigned due to the poor results achieved at the 2019 European Parliament election, he expressed his interested in running for the presidential seat.
Interviewed by ATV's Straight Talk show on 29 August 2019, Péter Jakab announced his candidacy for Jobbik's presidential seat at the party's National Congress in September.
Jakab later withdrew because the party did not support his idea in the Electoral Board meeting to extend the board's mandate in such a way that it would only expire after the 2022 national elections.

Chimera is a proposed NASA mission to orbit and explore 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 (SW1), an active, outbursting small icy body in the outer solar system.
SW1 is a member of the Centaur group, a population of near-pristine objects that have been gravitationally perturbed from the Kuiper Belt into unstable orbits in the region between Jupiter and Neptune.
Many Centaurs eventually migrate into the inner Solar System to become short period, 'Jupiter Family' comets (JFCs), and SW1 is believed to occupy the orbital ‘gateway’ through which they pass as they make this transition.
Icy small bodies are primordial echoes of the formation of our Solar System, with physical properties derived from the planet forming disk and an orbit distribution related to early migration of the giant planets.
The Kuiper belt and Oort cloud) and more evolved objects that have migrated inward toward the Sun to become long period comets (e.g.
The Centaurs are the least altered icy bodies orbiting interior to Neptune, with physical characteristics that are intermediate between the small icy bodies explored by previous (e.g.
Their orbits are unstable and, on timescales 1-10 Myr, they are either scattered back into their Trans-Neptunian source region or inward toward Sun where they become comets.
Centaurs are too far from the Sun for large-scale, water-based cometary behavior to occur, but they are close enough that some experience a form of sporadic activity.
This early stage processing provides an opportunity to explore the transition of icy planetesimals from their primordial origins to their heavily-weathered cometary end-state.
Since its discovery during an outburst in 1927, the characteristics of 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 have identified it as enigmatic compared to other known comets and a candidate for detailed study.
These factors combine with its proximity to Jupiter to make it uniquely accessible for an orbital rendezvous within the resources of the Discovery mission class.
10199 Chariklo, 2060 Chiron), SW1's nucleus is obscured by an extensive dust coma that is constantly replenished by a combination of continuous activity and large outbursts.
While the presence of larger coma grains around these objects could pose a hazard during high relative velocity encounters, their environments are benign for spacecraft on much slower orbital trajectories.
SW1 has an estimated diameter of 60.4 ± 7.4 km that is larger than any known JFC and comparable in both size and activity to the well-known long period comet Hale-Bopp.
A series of gravity assist maneuvers are used to position Chimera at SW1 with a relative velocity low enough to permit orbital insertion.
Chimera will be the first orbital exploration of an outer solar system small body and the third orbital spacecraft mission (after Cassini-Huygens and the upcoming Dragonfly) to operate beyond Jupiter.
This is followed by a slow approach at a relative velocity of <10 m/s, during which the nucleus properties, activity patterns, outburst behavior, and debris environment are characterized.
Over the subsequent ~2 years, the spacecraft orbit will progress toward lower altitudes to perform intensive study of regions of interest, monitor for physical evolution, obtain more precise internal measurements, and to sample the near subsurface.

The small molecule isoprene is a volatile organic compound that can react with nitrogen oxide to form the greenhouse gas ozone.
Whilst these two processes cause global warming, isoprene can also produce aerosol particles that block sunlight, resulting in a cooling effect.
Unger joined Goddard Space Flight Center where she worked on air pollution and the impact of climate change on air quality.
Industries commonly burn fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide, which can result in global warming, but they also release sulphates that enter the atmosphere as aerosols.
These aerosols can cause the atmosphere to cool by blocking out heat from the sun and modifying the clouds so that they reflect more heat back to space.
She identified that until 2050 road vehicle emissions will dominate human emissions, but after then power sector emissions will take the lead.
Unger joined Yale University as an Assistant Professor at the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, where she was part of the Yale Himalaya Initiative.
She created a global-scale model that could evaluate the impact of reducing the levels sulphur in jet fuel on air quality.
Unger has studied the role of ozone and aerosols on the Earth's radiation balance, and the feedback between air quality and climate change.
She calculated the concentration of aerosol particles and methane release during the Pliocene, and compared it to those released during the pre-industrial era.
She has argued that to achieve the Paris Agreement temperature targets wealthy countries will have to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from energy-use.
She has studied the impact of volatile organic compounds released by plants on the Earth's atmosphere, finding that they create a chemical mist that enhances diffuse light, which benefits photosynthesis, whilst simultaneously serving to block direct light.
This mist serves to increase the amount of solar radiation that reaches the deep layers of the forest, making the atmosphere better for the plants themselves.

The vessel was built in 1928 as the luxury yacht Camargo for Julius Fleischmann, Jr. She made a world cruise in 1930–31, during which its crew spied on Japanese-held territories on behalf of the American government.
Named after Marie-Anne de Cupis de Camargo, she was the first of five yachts of that name to be owned by Fleischmann.
She was built by George Lawley & Son of Neponset, Boston in 1928 (although some sources state that she was launched in 1925).
The vessel cost $625,000, making it one of the most expensive private yachts of its time, and it was criticized in the press for its extravagance.
Their -long journey began at the New York Yacht Club, and they visited Bermuda and Jamaica before passing through the Panama Canal and reaching the Pacific.
The journey was well-documented in photographs, and a three-hour long film was also produced and it is now preserved at the Smithsonian Institution Archives.
While in the South Pacific, Fleischmann and the crew made maps and recorded information which was later used by the Americans to attack Japanese-held islands in World War II.
During the journey, the Fleischmanns also came across three castaways who had been shipwrecked on Cocos Island, and they called the United States Navy who managed to rescue them.
On 9 June, while still in the Caribbean, there were suspicions that she encountered an enemy submarine and she fired depth charges at it.
At the time, there was a lot of mist, and due to a navigational error, the vessel ran aground on the Merkanti Reef off St. Julian's and capsized.
At the time of its sinking, the vessel was carrying 57 passengers and she was under the command of Commodore S. G. Kent.
The majority of the passengers and crew survived the sinking, either managing to swim to the shore or being rescued by small boats which came to help.
There were two casualties: crew member A. Grech (the Second Cook) drowned in the sinking, while the passenger Mary Borg was missing.
After the passengers had disembarked the vessel, some of the cargo including fruit and livestock as well as some valuables was stolen.
An inquiry held after the grounding found that Commodore Kent was responsible for the vessel's grounding, and the assessors recommended suspending his master's ticket for a year from the date of the accident.

Martín Olleta was a Chono cheftain who was an important broker between Spanish authorities in Chiloé Archipelago and indigenous people of the fjords and channels of Patagonia.
This happened fifteen days after a group of British sailors returned to Wager Island after failing to round Taitao Peninsula with an improvised barge.
The Spanish proficency of the Chonos led by Martín Olleta was enough to communicate with the Spanish-speaking surgeon of the British party.
After some negotiation the Chono agreed to guide Cheap's group to a small Spanish settlement up the coast, using an overland route to avoid the peninsula.
Martín Olleta led the survivors through an unusual route across Presidente Ríos Lake in Taitao Peninsula avoiding the common route through San Tadeo River and San Rafael Lake.
Before handing over the English to Spanish authorities Martín Olleta's party stopped somewhere south of Chiloé Island to hide all iron objects, likely to avoid have them confiscated.
When Spanish authorities learned that Leutenant Hamilton had been lost in the way north he compelled Olleta to go back south and find him which he actually did.
Scholar Ximena Urbina conjectures that Martín Olleta must have lived close to the Spanish and heard from other natives of the wreckage.
Thus the rescue was not by chance but an enterprise done with prior knowledge of the Spanish interest in foreigners and of the valuable loot to be found at the wreckage.

In January 2020, the Australian National Audit Office published a report into Sport Australia's Community Sport Infastructure Program titled 'Award of Funding under the Community Sport Infrastructure Program'.
The report had two main conclusions: the award of grant funding was not informed by an appropriate assessment process and sound advice and the successful applications were not those that had been assessed as the most meritorious in terms of the published program guidelines.
The outcomes of the report resulted in extensive media coverage due to Senator Bridget McKenzie, the then Minister for Sport in the Morrison Government using her ministerial discretion to favour marginal or targeted electorates in the allocation of grants in the lead up to 2019 Australian federal election.
The Community Sport Infrastructure Grant Program was established by the Turnbull Government as part of its 2018 Australian federal budget with it allocating A$27.9 million for the program.
The December 2018 Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO) and 2019 Australian federal budget allocated a further A$30.3 million and A$42.5 million to the program with the total allocation being A$102.5 million.
The aim of the program was for more Australians to have access to quality sporting facilities, encouraging greater community participation in sport and physical activity.
Sport Australia was given the responsibility for administering the program and its guidelines identified three ranking criteria with appropriate weightings: community participation (50 per cent); community need (25 per cent); and project design and delivery (25 per cent).
The decision making process involved Sport Australia assessment panel assessing applications, all eligible applications assessed as meeting or exceeding the merit criteria proceeding to the Sport Australia board for endorsement and the Minister for Sport identified as the final funding decision-maker.
Funding totalling A$102.5 million was awarded to 684 projects across three rounds completed in December 2018, February 2019 and April 2019.
The program came under media and the Australian Labor Party Opposition attention when Georgina Downer, Liberal Party of Australia candidate for Mayo was photographed in presenting a cheque for A$127,373 to the Yankalilla Bowling Club in February 2019.
The report found that in the first round, 91 of the projects (41%) approved by the Minister were not endorsed by the Sport Australia board.
In the second round, 162 (70%) of the approved projects were not recommended, and in the final round 167 (73%) of the approved projects had not been recommended by Sport Australia.
ANAO concluded that funding decisions for each of the three rounds were not informed by clear advice and were not consistent with the program guidelines.
ANAO also found that while the guidelines identified the Minister in an approval role, there are no records that evidence that the Department of Health or Sport Australia advised the Minister on the legal basis on which the Minister could undertake an approval role.

The ship was carrying Moroccan pilgrims on the way to Mecca, and a cooking fire on deck probably accidentally ignited nitrate in one of the ship's cargo holds, resulting in a number of explosions and causing the ship to run aground.
She was carrying 39 crew members, 12 first class passengers and 142 steerage passengers who were Muslims from Morocco who were on their way to Mecca for the Hajj pilgrimage.
The fire probably started when embers from a pilgrim's cooking brazier came into contact with the cargo of nitrate held in the vessel's No.
However, it soon began to move in circles as the crew abandoned the wheel and lost control over the rudder, while the crew in the engine room were all killed in the fire.
The crew handed out lifebelts to the passengers, although one of the chief cabin attendants was one of the first to jump overboard.
Many of the Moroccan passengers, who included many women and children, had been below deck and died, while others who were on deck panicked and refused to abandon ship.
The ship was left to burn out on the rocks as thousands of people gathered on the harbour's fortifications to witness the disaster.
Some sources state that only 23 crew members and 10 passengers survived, while others state that 21 crew members, 9 European passengers and 40 Moroccan passengers were rescued.
They were taken to the Central Civil Hospital, and they were buried at the Turkish Military Cemetery in Marsa on the following day.
The captain and some crew members were buried at Ta' Braxia Cemetery, as were three other bodies who were recovered later.

Community opposition led to the brickworks being preserved, and the clay pits turned into artificial lakes (Lake Bungaree and Lake Bungana).
The Maylands Brickworks would excavate clay on-site, which would be refined and mixed with water into a paste in the pug mill, inside a large building made from wood and corrugated iron.
The mixture was then sent through an extruder to make bricks, which were cut and left to dry inside the immense drying sheds.
Once dried out, the bricks – which were already hard – were arranged in the kilns, covered with powdered coal, and fired.
The Maylands Brickworks were listed as a heritage site on the State Register on 9 February 1996, and on the City of Bayswater Municipal Inventory on 17 June 1997.

In abstract algebra, specifically the theory of Lie algebras, Serre's theorem states: given a (finite reduced) root system formula_1, there exists a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra whose root system is the given formula_1.
The construction of a semisimple Lie algebra from a Cartan matrix can be generalized by weakening the definition of a Cartan matrix.
For each ideal formula_51 of formula_22, one can easily show that formula_51 is homogeneous with respect to the grading given by the root space decomposition; i.e., formula_54.
One then shows: (1) the derived algebra formula_69 here is the same as formula_8 in the lead, (2) it is finite-dimensional and semisimple and (3) formula_71.

The number of teams participating in the spring playoffs will remain unchanged at six, but the summer playoffs will include an additional two teams, bringing the total up to eight.
Both splits will feature a winners' bracket and a losers' bracket, with the bottom two teams beginning in the losers' and the rest beginning in the winners'.

Kurankij was a commander in the Daylamite contingent in the army of Abu Abdallah al-Baridi, who had captured Baghdad on 31 May 941.
On 27 June, the soldiers in al-Baridi's army mutinied, and Kurankij was selected as the leader of the Daylamites, with Takinak selected as the leader of the Turkish contingent.
Kurankij and Takinak made common cause and joined their forces to attack al-Baridi and plunder the treasures that al-Baridi had collected.
The latter was able to save himself by cutting the bridge between eastern and western Baghdad, and speedily leaving the city, which was consumed by fighting as the populace joined in the army's revolt.
This arrangement did not last long, however: within a few days, the Banu'l-Jarrah brothers were dismissed, and Abu Ishaq Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Qarariti appointed vizier.
As al-Baridi had gathered new forces and come up from his base in Basra to Wasit, Kurankij sent his own troops under another Daylamite commander, Ispahan, to confront them.
When Kurankij received news of Ibn Ra'iq's march on Baghdad, he recalled Ispahan from Wasit, which almost immediately was captured by the Baridis.
Nevertheless, on 23 August a detachment of Ibn Ra'iq's army under Ibn Muqatil entered Baghdad, followed two days later by the bulk of Ibn Ra'iq's army, with Kurankij following behind a day later.

He specializes in playing and promoting the boogie woogie genre, almost exclusively improvised, often combined with classical, jazz, blues, rock & roll, and traditional Irish music themes.
Despite experiencing serious health problems at the time, Howell came to then seventeen-year-old Kavanagh's home and gave him three free piano lessons with focus on Howell's boogie woogie style.
Despite his strong interest in the boogie woogie style, he continued pursuing classical piano, eventually studying under international concert pianist and professor Nelly Ben-Or, completing his Grade 8 practical and theory requirements.
Kavanagh today considers professor Ben-Or, who was very receptive to his improvisational boogie-woogie tendencies, as his classical mentor, alongside Hammy Howell as his boogie-woogie mentor.
In his late teens, Kavanagh played keyboard (with some vocals) for numerous Country and Irish bands around the pubs of north London.
He credits this early exposure to rowdy pub crowds with helping him cope with the often unpredictable situations he encounters today in open public piano appearances.
After completing his academic studies Kavanagh taught English and Latin at secondary school, but became quickly disillusioned with the British educational system.
With the advent of smartphones which allow virtually anyone to easily capture and widely disseminate musical performances, he began performing in open public venues.
Nowadays, he performs as Dr. K, often wearing his signature dark hoodie and shades, or sometimes wearing a workman uniform, playing incognito in front of often astonished passersby on public pianos at train stations, airports and other open public venues, mostly around London.
His impromptu performances, often weaving together classical, boogie woogie, Irish and popular themes, are captured and uploaded to his YouTube channel, where he has amassed over 1 million subscribers.

Théodore Ber (7 March 1820–21 November 1900), was a French archaeologist and anthropologist who spent most of his adult life in Peru.
A talented young man, he was hired by an atelier in Paris, and later established his own company for exporting clothing to South America.
After a stormy divorce, he moved to Chile in 1860 and Peru in 1863, where, notwithstanding his lack of education, he found employment as professor of French language and history.
He also maintained his socialist ideas, and when he learned about the revolutionary situation in France, he returned to his home country and joined the Commune of Paris, serving for a short period as personal secretary of Commune leader Louis Charles Delescluze.
In the mid-1870s, he developed an interest in archaeology and anthropology and participated in the first excavations of the archaeological site of Ancon.
He took notes of the excavations, and sent several boxes with artifacts and comments to French anthropologist Paul Broca, whose books he had read and appreciated.
In Peru, Ber found himself in competition with French-Austrian explorer Charles Wiener, who had also obtained French official support for his activities.
While still formally working for the French government, Ber obtained financial support from American businessman Henry Meiggs for an archaeological expedition to Tiwanaku, Bolivia, in 1876–1877, against the promise of donating the artifacts he will find, on behalf of Meiggs, to Washington's Smithsonian Institution and the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
The expedition to Tiwanaku was cut short by the violent hostility of the local population, instigated by the Catholic parish priest, but with the help of photographer Georg von Grumbkow, Ber was able to send to Paris a set of pictures documenting the status of the ruins of Tiwanaku in the 1870s.
His French friends, however, managed to have him re-appointed for short-term official missions to Peru in 1875 and 1890, and invited to international conferences.
A lifelong member of Freemasonry, he had quarreled with his local lodge in Lima and no longer attended the meetings, and his political opinions had also antagonized other members of the French community in Peru.

Project 10510 Lider (), also known through the Russian type size series designations LK-110Ya and LK-120Ya, is a planned series of Russian nuclear-powered icebreakers.
The latter's primary mission would be to ensure reliable year-round shipping in the Russian Arctic, including transit cargo along the Northern Sea Route as well as transportation of raw materials and natural resources produced from the continental shelf.
As traditional icebreaker-led convoys were seen preferable over independently-operating ships, the principal characteristics such as a beam of and capability of breaking up to thick ice were specified with escorting of large-tonnage vessels in mind.
In the late 2000s, increasing shipping activity in the Russian Arctic and the prospect of turning the Northern Sea Route into a year-round shortcut between Western Europe and Asia called for the development of more powerful icebreakers.
The result, Project 10510, was a nuclear-powered icebreaker design intended for escorting cargo ships and tankers with a beam of and deadweight tonnage of 100,000tonnes year-round along the entire Northern Sea Route.
With a propulsion power of 120 megawatts, the icebreaker would be capable of maintaining an average escort speed of in ice.
In February 2019, CEO of Zvezda, Sergei Tseluyko, confirmed during an interview with TASS that the plan is to build three Project 10510 icebreakers at the shipyard.
On 15 January 2020, shortly before resigning, then Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a governmental order allocating 125.57 billion rubles of federal money for financing the construction of the first Project 10510 icebreaker for Rosatom from 2020 onwards and commissioning it by 2027.
Previously, the funding for the construction of the icebreaker had been excluded from the 2017–2025 state program for the development of the Arctic as funding had been cut from 209.7 billion to 50.9 billion rubles.
While these sleek yacht-like design studies have been sometimes incorrectly thought to represent the actual Project 10510 icebreaker design, the actual design is a departure from the more angular previous nuclear icebreakers.

Schmid has held various teaching positions at the Universities of Munich and Bayreuth, the music academies in Munich and Augsburg, as well as a position as director of the Munich Musical Instrument Museum.
In 1986 Schmid was appointed full professor of musicology at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen as successor to Georg von Dadelsen.
Schmid is considered an internationally renowned Mozart expert, but in his work he devotes himself to the entire European musical tradition from ancient music to new music.
However, his main focus lies on the music of the First Viennese School, the German Romantic music and the Renaissance music.
Further fields of interest of Schmid are besides the general historical musicology especially the musical instrument, the noatation and the Ethnomusicology.

Guyana–Trinidad and Tobago relations refers to the bilateral relations between the Republic of Guyana and the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
The two nations share many similarities with each other due to their similar culture, lingustic, religions and both being a part of the British Empire at some point in their history.
Both countries are a part of the Commonwealth of Nations and CARICOM and both have Queen Elizabeth as the Head of State.
In the 1990s, under the Paris Club Agreement, Trinidad and Tobago forgave hundred of millions of US Dollars worth of debt that Guyana owed.
In 2018, the two nations signed a memondrum of understanding on energy to further allow cooperation between the two nations on energy needs and exchange resources.
Zoe Pikramenou is Professor of Inorganic Chemistry and Photophysics at the University of Birmingham, where she is the first female professor in the chemistry department.
This research is in partnership with the Canadian company Sona Nanotech Inc. Pikramenou has researched other applications of gold nanoparticles, including their use in tracking blood flow in capillary networks.
As part of her doctoral research at Michigan State University, Pikramenou invented a nanoparticle bucket, which lights up when in contains a particular compound.
In 2017, Pikramenou and her co-researcher Nicola J Rogers, were granted a patent to protect their invention of a new process of combining at least one metal complex and a surfactant.
Pikramenou graduated in 1993 from Michigan State University with a PhD in Chemistry, following a BA in Chemistry from the University of Athens in 1987.
The company has developed technology that can match faces to a database of more than three billion images scraped from the Internet.
Founded by Hoan Ton-That and Richard Schwartz, the company maintained a low profile until late 2019, when its usage by law enforcement was reported on.
Clearview AI has contracted with the New York State Police, as well as several local police departments, including the Atlanta Police Department and the Broward County Sheriff's Office, and has misrepresented its usage at other agencies.
In late 2017, Clearview (then Smartcheckr) hired a contractor, later doxed as 'Ricky Vaughn', a pseudonym for Douglass Mackey, who is associated with alt-right white supremacist congressional candidate Paul Nehlen.
Clearview claims to have had no knowledge of the contractor's Ricky Vaughn persona, and the technology in the proposal does not exist.
The identification was submitted to the New York Police Department tip line, but the NYPD did not use this tip to identify the suspect, and stated they have no institutional relationship with Clearview, though some 'rogue officers' use it.
Clearview also linked their product to a child predator sting in New Jersey, and used the name and likeness of New Jersey Attorney General Gubir S. Grewal.
In a January 24 2020 letter, counsel at the AG's office wrote this appears to violate state and federal laws, demanding Clearview immediately cease and desist.
Grewal also banned the use of Clearview by state prosecutors and police, and began an effort to find out where it or similar products had been used.
After discovering Clearview AI was scraping images from their site, Twitter sent a cease-and-desist letter, insisting that they remove all images as it is against Twitter's policies.
Ton-That first gained public notice in 2009, when he created ViddyHo, a website that spammed users' contacts and was described as phishing or a computer worm.
Richard Schwartz (born 1959) is a graduate of Columbia University and New York University, holding degrees in History and Public Policy.
Schwartz continued working with Stern during Stern's tenure as New York City Parks Commissioner under New York City Mayor Ed Koch.
He served as Editorial Editor at the New York Daily News in the 2000s, where he was shortlisted for three Pulitzer Prizes.
Clearview AI hired Paul Clement, a former Solicitor General and former acting United States Attorney General to help assuage privacy concerns.
Former New York City Police Commissioner and executive chairman of Teneo Risk Chief Bill Bratton challenged privacy concerns and recommended strong procedures for law enforcement usage in an op-ed in New York Daily News.
William John Millican (April 24, 1903 - November 13, 1944), was a decorated submarine commander in the United States Navy during World War II.
Commander Millican was twice awarded the Navy Cross, but was presumed killed in action when the submarine he was commanding, the USS Escolar (SS-294), was overdue and presumed lost.
This was the first class to enter under the reduced appointee law following the Washington Naval Conference, designed to reduce the size of the Navies of United States, Japan, China, France, Britain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, and Portugal.
The next year he was transferred to the USS Nevada (BB-36) and was promoted to Lieutenant, Junior Grade in the summer of 1931.
On June 21, 1932, after finishing the submarine course, Millican reported for his first submarine assignment aboard the USS S-10 (SS-115).
On June 19, 1938, Millican arrived in Honolulu aboard the SS Lurline, and joined the crew of the USS S-29 (SS-134).
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the S-18 departed her base Bremerton on January 12, 1942 to patrol the Aleutian Islands on her first war patrol.
After the completion of the third war patrol on March 27, 1942, LCDR James H. Newsome took command of the S-18.
On June 26, 1942, the USS Thresher, under command of Millican, commenced her fourth war patrol, patrolling the waters between the Palau and the Marshall Islands.
On 6 July, Millican received the chance he didn't have on his first three war patrols, an enemy tanker was sighted entering the channel to the Maloelap Atoll.
On July 9, 1942, the USS Thresher was near the Kwajalein Atoll when it identified a destroyer tender, the Shinsho Maru.
The Millican had some other enemy encounters before ending the USS Thresher's war patrol at Fremantle, Australia, as the Thresher had been assigned to the Southwest Pacific Submarine Forces.
Millican conducted two more war patrols in command of the USS Thresher ending his sixth war patrol on March 10, 1943.
On February 4, 1943, Millican was awarded his first Navy Cross for his actions commanding the USS Thresher on her forth and fifth war patrols.
On his sixth war patrol, Millican was credited with sinking 26,000 tons of enemy shipping and damaging an additional 11,000 tons.
Millican was awarded a golden star in lieu of a second Navy Cross for his success in the USS Threshers sixth war patrol.
On September 18, 1944 the USS Escolar finished training based at Pearl Harbor and put out to sea on her first war patrol.
After topping off fuel at Midway, she joined the USS Croaker and the USS Perch (SS-313) for a coordinated war patrol in the Yellow Sea which she directed.
Since Japanese records consulted after the war show no antisubmarine action at that time in the area where Escolar is believed to have been, it is assumed that she struck a mine and sank with all hands.
On April 16, 1952 a plaque at the field was presented by Admiral Charles Momsen, the inventor of the Momsen lung.
While Millican's body was never recovered, he is listed on a memorial in the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial, in the Philippines.
The 1984 Campionati Internazionali di Sicilia was a men's tennis tournament played on outdoor clay courts in Palermo, Italy that was part of the 1984 Volvo Grand Prix.

DJ International Records is a Chicago record label founded in 1985 which specialized in house music, a type of electronic dance music.
It is responsible for the import of oil and gas as well as for the generation and feed-in of electricity into the Maltese power grid.
A power plant in Floriana (1896 to 1960), a power plant in Corradino (1939 to 1992) and Station A in Marsa (1953 to 1993) were operated by Enemalta until their shutdown.
In 2006 the two power plants of the Enemalta produced 2261189 MWh and released 0.8782 kg CO2 for every kilowatt hour generated..
Upon assuming office as Minister for Energy in 2013, Konrad Mizzi started implementing the Government’s energy plan with the primary aim of reducing utility tariffs.
Previously utility tariffs in Malta were considered amongst the highest tariffs in Europe, and following the reductions utility tariffs become the fourth cheapest in the European Union.
This saw the transformation of the energy in Malta, contrasting with the situation when Mizzi was given the responsibility when Enemalta was close to declare bankruptcy, with €840 million in debt and was consecutively downgraded by Standard & Poor’s.
In December 2014 Shanghai Electric signed an agreement with the Government of Malta where it acquired a minority stake in the local energy producer Enemalta.
The restructuring envisaged new investment in the local distribution system, as well as transition from oil-fired energy generation to cleaner technology, such as the Malta-Sicily interconnector, gas-fired plants and renewable energy sources.
Shanghai Electric is expected to be investing in the conversion to gas of an existing power plant which at present is powered by heavy fuel oil, valued at around €70million.
In 2016, and following the investment by Shanghai Electric and the restructuring process that followed, Standard and Poor's upgraded Enemalta's rating to BB- with a stable outlook.
The third pillar of the energy plan will also result in the closure of the Malta power plant which has been operating since 1969.
The Marsa power plant has been shut down, on cold standby, pending the completion of the new gas fired power plant.
The local Opposition party criticised the Government of Malta that this plant has been shut down due to measures implemented by the previous Government and not due to the current Government’s plans.
The second pillar that would be sustaining cheaper utility tariffs in the long-term was the development of a gas fired power plant.
The Delimara Power and Gas project is being developed by Electrogas Malta Limited, a consortium that includes SOCAR, Siemens and Gem Holdings.
However, following parliamentary questions in the European Parliament by Malta’s European People’s Party, the European Commission stated that there were no procurement violations.
Through the Delimara Power and Gas project, Malta will be conforming for the first time, with the N-1 principle which is stipulated by European Union directives.
Such concept enabled Malta to shift its financial resources onto other sectors, while simultaneously enjoying the benefits of modern and efficient infrastructure.
The development of the gas fired power plant and the conversion to gas of another power plant is in line with the Energy policy of the European Union, that encourages the shift to gas in the energy sector.
Lindheimera texana, commonly known as Texas yellow star, is a species of flowering plant in the sunflower tribe within the daisy family.
Leaves on the lower half on the plant are alternate and coarsely toothed, but on the upper half are opposite and smooth on the edges.
In computer science and mathematics more precisely in automata theory, model theory and formal language a regular numerical predicate is a kind of relation over integers.
One of the main interest of this class of predicates is that it can be defined in plenty of different ways, using different logical formalisms.
Furthermore, most of the definitions uses only basic notions, and thus allows to relate fundations of various fields of fundamental computer science such as automata theory, syntactic semigroup, model theory and semigroup theory.
Given a vector of formula_2 integers formula_11, it is represented by the word formula_12 of length formula_13 whose formula_14-th letter is formula_15.
Predicates are encoded into languages in a different way, and the predicate is said to be regular if and only if the language is regular.
The vector formula_38 is represented by the word formula_39 such that, the projection of formula_12 over it's formula_14-th component is formula_42.
This is a word whose letters are the vectors formula_45, formula_46 and formula_46 and whose projection over each components are formula_48, formula_49 and formula_48.
As in the previous definition, the numerical predicate formula_20 is said to be regular if formula_18 is a regular language over the alphabet formula_8.
A predicate is regular if and only if it can be defined by a monadic second order formula formula_55, or equivalently by an existential monadic second order formula, where the only atomic predicate is the successor function formula_56.
In order to introduce the definition of regular predicate in this case, we need to introduce the notion of section of a predicate.
Then formula_85 is the predicate which adds the constant formula_63, and formula_87 is the predicate which states that the sum of its two elements is formula_63.
The predicate formula_20 is regular if and only if for each increasing sequence of set formula_105, formula_106 is a recognizable submonoid of formula_107.
The predicate formula_20 is regular if and only if all languages which can be defined in first order logic with atomic predicates for letters and the atomic predicate formula_20 are regular.
The predicate formula_20 is non regular if and only if there exists a formula in formula_112 which defines the multiplication by a rational formula_113.
This theorem is due to the previous property and the fact that the satisfiability of formula_119 is undecidable when formula_120 and formula_121.
Lake Sautauriski is a freshwater body crossed from north to south by the Sautauriski River, flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in province of Quebec, in Canada.
The watershed area of Sautauriski Lake is mainly served on the east side by the route 175 which links the towns of Quebec and Saguenay.
The surface of Lake Sautauriski is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; safe circulation on the ice is generally done from the end of December to the beginning of March.
The Sautauriski dam is located at its mouth, at the bottom of a bay in the southern part of the lake.
This lake encased between the mountains has five large bays, the longest of which stretches over to the northeast and receives from the northeast the discharge from the Sautauriski River.
We find at the mouth of the lake the Sautauriski dam, which has a height of and a capacity of .
From the dam at the mouth of Lake Sautauriski, the current descends for generally southward following the course of the Sautauriski River; then generally south on along the current of the Jacques-Cartier river to the northeast shore of the St. Lawrence River.
The Delimara power station is located near Marsaxlokk in the southeast of Malta and is the newest power plant in Malta.
Two steam power plants fuelled with heating oil, each with an electrical output of 60 MW, have been in operation since 1992.
As the technology of the Marsa power plant is out of date, it was discussed in advance of Malta's entry into the EU to shut down the plant.
Part of the electricity production was relocated to the more modern Delimara power plant and the EU limit values for emissions could thus be reached.
Neither the environment nor the power plant or its personnel suffered any damage, but the competent authorities were nevertheless immediately informed.
Under Joseph Muscat's government, the new energy policy of Malta envisaged the demolition of the 1992 Delimara Phase 1 Heavy Fuel Oil power plant.
The Delimara Power and Gas project is being developed by Electrogas Malta Limited, a consortium that includes SOCAR, Siemens and Gem Holdings.

The Manado metropolitan area, known locally as Bimindo (an acronym of Bitung–Minahasa–Manado), is a metropolitan area anchored by the city of Manado in North Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Abu'l-Ashbāl al-Ḍirghām ibn ʿĀmir ibn Sawwār al-Lukhamī () was a Sunni Yemeni military commander in the service of the Fatimid Caliphate.
An excellent warrior and model cavalier, he rose to higher command and scored some successes against the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem as well as against internal rebellions.
Despite his close personal ties to the viziers Tala'i ibn Ruzzik and his son Ruzzik ibn Tala'i, he joined Shawar when the latter rebelled against Ruzzik and seized the vizierate.
Nine months later, Dirgham betrayed Shawar as well and expelled him from the capital, becoming vizier himself on 31 August 1163.
Amidst yet another Crusader invasion in 1164, Dirgham clashed with Shawar, who had gained the support of Syrian troops led by Shirkuh.
The accounts of the historians Umara al-Yamani and al-Maqrizi emphasize his equestrian and martial skills, being an expert in handling both the spear and the bow; as well as his penmanship and ability as a poet and as a literary critic.
He is first mentioned in the sources in 1153, as part of an expedition to relieve the city of Ascalon, which was being besieged by the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem.
The expedition was led by Abbas, the stepson of the vizier al-Adil ibn al-Sallar; Abbas abandoned the campaign and returned to Cairo where he killed his stepfather and took over the vizierate until himself overthrown by Tala'i ibn Ruzzik in 1154.
As Tala'i resumed a more aggressive stance against the Crusaders, Dirgham led expeditions against them in 1157 and 1158, and scored a victory against them on 9 March 1158 at Tell el-Ajjul.
In September 1162, the King of Jerusalem Amalric I invaded Egypt to claim the tribute that had been promised by Ruzzik's father.
Soon after, however, Shawar, the governor of Qus, also rose in revolt, raised an army of Bedouin from the western oases, and overthrew and killed Ruzzik and became vizier himself in January 1163.
Shawar reportedly suspected something and made Dirgham swear repeated oaths of obedience and loyalty, but in August 1163, clashes broke out in which two of Shawar's sons may have been killed and the oldest, Tayy, captured (and later executed), and in which Shawar was forced to flee Cairo.
Dirgham attempted to thwart his rival's plans by opening negotiations with Nur al-Din for an alliance against the Crusaders, but the Syrian ruler's reply was non-committal, and on his way to Egypt, Dirgham's envoy was arrested by the Crusaders, possibly on the instigation of Nur al-Din himself.
His execution by crucifixion of the governor of Alexandria also cost him whatever good will he initially had, so that he could only rely on his personal entourage.
Dirgham preferred to negotiate with Amalric, offering him a peace treaty guaranteed by the surrender of hostages, and the payment of an annual tribute.
While Nur al-Din manoeuvred to attract the Crusaders' attention away from them, Shirkuh and his men crossed the Kingdom of Jerusalem and entered Egypt.
This intervention was a momentous event in the history of the Fatimid regime and Egypt: the country, enfeebled by the constant civil wars, now became a prize in the contest between Damascus and Jerusalem, a process that would end with the abolition of the Fatimid Caliphate itself by Saladin in 1171.
Dirgham appealed to Amalric for help, but the King of Jerusalem was unable to intervene in time: in late April 1164, the Syrians surprised and defeated Dirgham's brother Mulham at Bilbays, opening the way to Cairo.
Left with only 500 horsemen, he appeared before the caliphal palace, but the caliph turned him away and advised him to save his life.
He was overtaken near Fustat, however, dragged from his horse and killed (July/August 1154, other sources give the month as May/June), followed soon by his brothers.
His head was severed and paraded in public, while his corpse was left unburied for seberal days, before being taken to a burial at Birkat al-Fil.
Shawar, restored to the vizierate, quickly fell out with Shirkuh, and a complicated series of conflicts between Shawar, Shirkuh, and Amalric followed until 1169, when Shawar was executed and replaced as vizier by Shirkuh.

The Rivière à la Chute is a tributary of the Sautauriski River, flowing in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, Canada.
This watercourse crosses the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier in the MRC La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality and the municipality of Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, in the MRC of La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality.
The course of the river flows entirely in the Jacques-Cartier National Park which is affiliated with the Société des établissements de plein air du Québec (Sépaq).
The valley of the falling river is mainly served on the east side by the route 175 which connects the towns of Quebec and Saguenay.
The surface of the Rivière à la Chute (except the rapids) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; safe circulation on the ice is generally done from the end of December to the beginning of March.
The Rivière à la Chute takes its source from the lake of Quatre Jumeaux (length: ; width: ; altitude: ), located in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the MRC of La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality.
It includes a peninsula attached to the north shore stretching over to the south, and a second peninsula attached to the west shore stretching over north-east.

The church of Saint Mary the Virgin is the parish church of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, England, and a Grade I Listed Building.
The church was built in the Norman style in the 12th Century, but beneath the existing building are Saxon remains dating back to the 10th Century.
The church boasts a handsome memorial to Sir John Seymour, father of King Henry VIII's wife Jane Seymour, and grandfather of King Edward VI of England.
In the chancel is a memorial to Sir John Seymour (1474–1536), father of King Henry VIII's wife Jane Seymour, father to Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, and grandfather of King Edward VI of England.
Seymour's monument consists of a chest tomb displaying heraldic escutcheons, surmounted by his recumbent effigy, fully dressed in armour with hands in prayer, his head resting on his helm from which projects the sculpted Seymour crest of a pair of wings.
A transcript was made of the inscriptions of the Seymour monuments by the topographer John Aubrey on his visit to the church in 1672, who also recorded the heraldry on the monument at that date, much of which has been lost.
Thomas Willis (1621–1675), the great Oxford physician and natural philosopher, was born at Great Bedwyn on 27 January 1621 and was baptized on 14 February at the church.
Still present in the church today is the elegant tomb of Frances Seymour, Duchess of Somerset (1599-1674), the daughter of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I, who was executed for treason in 1601.
Project Trust, based on the Scottish Inner Hebridean Isle of Coll, is one of the first international volunteering charities for young people.
An education charity since 1967, Project Trust offers young people across the UK, Ireland and Mainland Europe 12- and 8-month international volunteering experiences.
Until 2019, the charity's overseas placements to Africa, Asia and Latin America were solely aimed at school-leavers aged 17–19, with significant engagement in support of volunteer recruitment achieved through School Talks and an active Project Trust Community of Alumni.
In January 2020 a programme opened to 20-25 year olds, yet to be formally launched, to assess the impact of offering an overseas placement to any young person aged 17–25 who meets the minimum criteria.
Volunteers work in a range of local communities overseas through teaching, community work and care, and outdoor education projects - and in doing so experience first hand, often in remote and rural locations, cultural exchange and are challenged on global issues and human rights.
Volunteers' selection and training begin many months before going overseas, with a trip to the Isle of Coll followed by several months of fund-raising prior to travelling overseas.
This, combined with training on and off the Isle of Coll, a skills framework developed and evolved over many years, and a challenging but exciting overseas placement, offers volunteers opportunity to develop and enhance their resilience, confidence, and other key attributes that are hard to achieve in formal education and qualifications alone.
When volunteers return, a two-day course on the Isle of Coll allows volunteers to reflect on their experiences overseas and celebrate their achievements individually and as a country group.
Volunteers are then actively encouraged to draw upon their unique experiences and enhanced knowledge and understanding of the world to continue to equip others to become positive forces within it.
This can be as either Project Trust Ambassadors or as part of the wider Project Trust Community of 'Returned Volunteers and Alumni'.
Up to 250 young people go overseas to around 23 countries each year, with the charity having spent 1.9 million pounds on its activities in 2018.
The organisation was founded by Nicholas Maclean-Bristol OBE while on secondment from the army, where he held the rank of Major.
Mclean-Bristol met the grandson of Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia while serving with the King’s Own Scottish Borderers and the first project was to send three volunteers to Ethiopia in 1967.
The charity's headquarters is on the Isle of Coll in Scotland, and has been since 1974; first at Breacachadh Castle, Maclean-Bristol's ancestral home, then moving to Bousd in the east of Coll.
It is currently based at the Hebridean Centre at Ballyhaugh which opened in 1988, with some staff working from the UK mainland and beyond, either permanently in their Glasgow office, temporarily when attending events, supporting the PT Community, meetings, or delivering School Talks for example, or further afield.
Project Trust, which in 2016 featured in a BBC Scotland documentary How Scotland Works about the Isle of Coll, is the main employer on the island — which, with its population of approximately 150 permanent residents, lies next to and north east of the Isle of Tiree, about 40 miles west of Oban through the Sound of Mull.
Youth Development, and Education and Global Citizenship lie at the heart of Project Trust's work, meaning that there's reciprocal added value in partnering across their Global Citizenship outreach programme, throughout the recruitment and development of volunteers, and in delivery of volunteering opportunities overseas.
Project Trust is managed by a senior leadership team led by Chief Executive Ingrid Emerson MBE; with governance overseen by a Board of Directors, on which Emerson sits.

Emma Strada (Turin, 18 November 1884 - Turin, 26 September 1970) was the first woman in Italy to graduate with an engineering degree.
The same year she was enrolled in the preparatory course in Engineering Sciences at the University of Turin, which later allowed her to enroll in the Scuola di Applicazione per Ingegneri.
She studied the course for five years and graduated with honours on the 5th of September 1908, coming 3rd out of 62 in her class.
She became the first woman ever to obtain an engineering degree from the Polytechnic of Turin and in the whole Italy.
As a graduation gift and to celebrate her achievement of becoming a civil engineer, Strada had an electric light installed in her home.
Electricity was hardly available in Turin, during Strada's time and she would often travel around the city in a horse drawn carriage, cars were also a rare occurrence and street lamps were lit with gas.
In her first two years after graduation, Strada worked as an assistant lecturer for Luigi Pagliani, the director of the Cabinet of Industrial Hygiene (Gabinetto di Igiene Industriale) at the University of Turin and a lecturer at the Politecnico in the course of Hygiene, in the Sanitary Engineering Faculty from 1908 to 1914.
Due to social constraints of the time it was unlikely for a woman to have an academic career, so she worked alongside her father and younger brother who were both engineers.
Some of the major projects she worked on was the creation of the surface water tunnel 50 meter below a copper mine in Ollomont Aosta Valley.
In Catanzaro, Strada helped her father build a funicular railway, which was seven meters long between Catanzaro Citta and Catanzaro Sala.
Strada had a very successful career working in the railway sector, which was a big achievement as it was predominantly a male sector.
Working in factories, offices and other industries meant that different social relationships were formed, however due to misogynistic views of society at the time, a lot of female architects and engineers found it difficult to get work.
On 26 January 1957 engineers Emma Strada, Anna E. Armour, Ines Del Tetto Noto, Adele Racheli Domenighetti, Laura Lange, Alessandra Bonfanti Vietti and the architect Vittoria Ilardi, who first gathered at the Exhibition of the Mechanics in Turin in 1955, founded Italian Women Engineer and Architect Association, (the Associazione Italiana Donne Architetto e Ingegnere – AIDIA).
The aims of the association were to promote and create network for visibility and the work of the women engineers and architects on a national and international levels.
AIDIA struggled to improve working conditions for women in technology sector, promoting reciprocal help among professional with no competition or rivalry so frequently found in this area of work.
Strada took part in the second national conference of AIDIA where she started the debate about women professional claims and opportunities in technology field.
In 1964 on her 80th Birthday she was given a gold medal by the National Italian association of Engineers for her work and in 1968 she was invited to conduct and partake in the Third International Conference of Women Engineers and Scientists.
In 1971 the third International Conference of AIDIA was organized in Turin and was attended by 240 women graduates from some 35 different countries.
AIDIA not only organized the congresses that became meeting points for professional concerns about certain issues, but also encouraged international participation in developing an inter-professional and cultural network.
Currently AIDIA has a web page from which they keep promoting the visibility of women engineers’ and architects’ work and share first hand information about their events and projects.

As a part of the Status Quo in Israel about the Shabbat, in most areas of Israel, public transportation is inactive on Shabbat (Except for lines in remote settlements at the edges of the country, the city of Haifa and other mixed cities such as Nazareth and Nof HaGalil, taxis and Share taxis).
During the 2010s, a number of private projects aimed at operating transportation services on weekends (and especially on Shabbats) began by establishing cooperative associations.
In October 2019, it became known that a number of cities checked the possibility of operating scheduled bus lines on Shabbats.
And in October 2019, The Municipality of Tel Aviv launched a tender for operating constant lines during the Sabbath, and started inquiries with nearby local authorities with a view to establishing a future network of lines that will operate across Gush Dan.
In January 2020, it became known that the local authorities Hod HaSharon, Shoham and Yehud-Monosson will join the project by the end of the month.
In the ninth week of the project activity (January 17–18, 2020), the seventh line, line 711, was added to the six lines that had operated until then, connecting Tel Aviv-Yafo to Yehud-Monosson and Shoham.
Nowadays, 6 local authorities in Israel partner with the weekend transportion array: Givatayim, Kiryat Ono, Ramat HaSharon, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Yehud-Monosson and Shoham.
The project currently operated every weekend (Friday-Saturday): On Friday, from 5:00 pm to 2:00 am; And on Saturday, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, with a frequency of 20 minutes regularly throughout the hours of operation.
The lines let you ride to the center of the cities and between the various neighborhoods, and to the main entertainment and leisure places.
The stations where the minibuses and buses pass are signed by stickers with the numbers of the lines that stop at them, and the minibuses and buses of the service are branded with signage, the number of lines and the main destinations where they stop at.
There is a dedicated site for the project, available in Hebrew, English and Arabic, where information about the service can be found.
In the first week of service activity (November 22–23, 2019), the demand for the project was higher than expected, and already in the first hour of operation, demand for rides was higher than expected, so the Tel Aviv municipality increased the service and added another minibus to each of the six lines on the network – three instead of two.
To cope with the high demand was in the first week, in the second week of activity (November 29–30, 2019), the project was increased by additional minibuses and 52-seats buses.
It was reported that the lines were still full of people, but no special malfunctions happened as in the first week.
On the fourth weekend of the project (December 13–14, 2019), hundreds of ultra-Orthodox people protested against the operation of the public transportation system.
Negative reviews also came from taxi drivers, but not about the service itself, but about the fact that it is free, thus it hurts their main livelihood (on the weekends).
It was detonated in front of a bank office, across the street from Algiers' police headquarters and near to the city's main post office and train station.

The episode is also known for its racy content and has never aired in the United Kingdom, either initially or in syndication.
Marie brings an abstract sculpture she did in class to Debra's house and shows it to her, sons Raymond and Robert, and husband Frank.
The family is initially impressed, until they later make a realization that it resembles a vagina, although this is unknown to Marie and Frank.
Ray starts his plan of removing the statue by covering it up with a garbage bag, but Marie walks in the house as he does this.
Ray and Debra successfully convince Marie to remove the sculpture from the living room while pretending to love it; however, she does this via a church auction where two Sisters come to the house to view it.
They observe it the same way as Debra, Ray, and Robert did when they first saw it, and refuse to take it.
One of the Sisters, Ann, informs Marie about the vaginal likeness; Marie initially takes offense to the interpretation, but when she takes a closer look, she suspects she's a lesbian.
Her sculpture is presented at an exhibit and receives a positive reception, although at the same exhibit, Frank's emotion towards the sculpt turns from appreciative to horrified after a janitor tells him the sculpture looks like a vagina.
When the series ended production of new episodes in 2005, Marie actress Doris Roberts took home the statue and placed it in her living room.
Pat Barnett was also nominated for an Eddie Award for Best Editing for a Half-hour Series for Television for her work on the episode.

Borgo Nuovo, originally known as via Alessandrina, also named via Recta or via Pontificum, was a road in the city of Rome, Italy, important for historical and architectural reasons.
Built by Pope Alexander VI Borgia for the Holy year of 1500, the road became one of the main centers of the high Renaissance in Rome.
In the mid-15th century, at the beginning of the Renaissance, the connection between Rome and Saint Peter were secured by two ancient roads, Borgo Vecchio and Borgo Santo Spirito, both linking the Castle to the square in front of Old Saint Peter Basilica.
At the end of the 15th century, Pope Alexander VI Borgia (r. 1492-1503), whose power was at the time contested by several the noble Roman families and by French king Charles VIII (who in 1494 had occupied the city, while the pope remained barricaded in the Castel Sant'Angelo), decided to restructure the citadel of Borgo and the castle.
In this context, Castel Sant'Angelo assumed the role of hinge between the city and the citadel, and the need arose to build a straight road between the castle and the Apostolic Palace on the Vatican hill.
During the last two Jubilees, which had taken place in 1450 and 1475, the enormous inflow of pilgrims had caused several traffic problems in the Borgo; because of that, in order to solve the problem, during the papal consistory of 16 November 1498 the pope gave the task to rationalize the paths which led to St. Peter, asking Cardinal Girolamo Riario to take the lead and consult experts.
This was a pyramid similar to that of Cestius, still existing near Porta Ostiense and regarded by the Romans of that time as the graveyard of Remus.
It was also used for popular happenings as horses, buffaloes, donkeys or men races, all favorite entertainments of the Borgia Pope; because of that, Borgo Nuovo remained unpaved until before 1509, during the papacy of Julius II (r. 1503-13).
Cardinals, noble families and rich bourgeois made use of this opportunity, erecting palaces and houses, designed in the new classicist style of Antonio da Sangallo the Elder and Donato Bramante, two among the architects involved in the road's design, and Borgo Nuovo became soon one of the most fashionable roads of the city.
As of today the only surviving decorated house in the Borgo is the one along Vicolo del Campanile, a former side lane of Borgo Nuovo.
During the reign of Pope Alexander VII (r. 1655-67), in the context of the construction of St. Peter's Square Gian Lorenzo Bernini integrated Borgo Nuovo in the project of the new square.
Anyway, at the fall of Napoleon only the first three houses at the east end of the road had been demolished; after the comeback of the Pope the previous situation was restored.
During all this period, and until its demolition, Borgo Nuovo was a prestigious, touristic and busy road, unlike the nearby Borgo Vecchio, which was secluded, familiar and simple.
Between 1934 and 1936, when the project of Via della Conciliazione was developed, architects Marcello Piacentini and Attilio Spaccarelli chose to give to the new road the alignment of the nearby Borgo Vecchio road, and not of Borgo Nuovo.
This resolution, made because of reasons of perspective and to avoid the demolition of the Palazzo dei Penitenzieri (facing the south side of Piazza Scossacavalli and parallel to the south side of Borgo Vecchio) caused the destruction of almost all the houses and the palaces of the road.
On the north side of the road, only the church of Santa Maria in Traspontina, the Palazzo Torlonia in Piazza Scossacavalli and palazzo Latmiral, an undistinguished 19th century building lying between them, were spared.
Mary behind the bridge”), was built since 1566 along the N side of Borgo Nuovo, towards the middle of the road, under the direction of Giovanni Sallustio Peruzzi and Ottavio Mascherino.
This church substituted the old church bearing the same name, which had to be pulled down towards the mid of 16th century since it lay too near to the castle.
The church, which became one of the parishes of the Borgo, was run by the Carmelites, which lived in a monastery placed to the east of the shrine; to the right side of Santa Maria was erected an Oratory devoted to the Christian doctrine, built in 1714-15.
The palace was demolished in 1937, but its portal was reused in a new building erected by Marcello Piacentini at Via della Conciliazione n. 15.
At about one third of its length coming from east, Borgo Nuovo led to the small piazza Scossacavalli, the center of the rione.
In the early 16th century, along 3 sides of the piazza were built large palaces, while the fourth hosted the Church of San Giacomo.
On the N side, aligned with Borgo Nuovo, Adriano Castellesi, treasurer of Alexander VI and later Cardinal of Corneto (today's Tarquinia), let erect (possibly by Donato Bramante) a palace, which follows the outlines of the Palazzo della Cancelleria.
This building, which now belongs to the Torlonia family, has been spared by the demolition of the road and is now part of the north side of Via della Conciliazione.
Between the W side of piazza Scossacavalli and the south side of Borgo Nuovo, the Caprini family from Viterbo let erect by Bramante their Roman residence.
The palace was then bought by Raphael, who completed it and spent there the last 3 years of his life, dying there in 1520.
Along Borgo Nuovo the palace had a monumental portal surmounted by a balcony, both designed by Baldassarre Peruzzi; the latter was considered the most beautiful in the whole city.
The Palazzo dei Convertendi was demolished in 1937 and rebuilt in 1941 west of Palazzo Torlonia with another plan but reusing original elements, included the portal with the balcony.
Some years before the construction of the road, Florentine Cardinal Piero Soderini let build in the Borgo a row of seven houses with porch in Tuscan renaissance style; after the road's erection, the houses overlooked its north side.
Soderini actually wanted to pull down the block and let build a palace by Bramante, but his turbulent life (he was a staunch enemy of the house of Medici, which for his misfortune during those years arrived to the papacy twice, with Leo X (r. 1513-21) and Clement VII (r. 1523-34)) did not allow him to fulfill his plan.
The houses survived unscathed until the end of the 19th century, when they were pulled down and substituted with an apartment block with shops at parterre.
This house has been pulled down in 1937, but its prospect has been rebuilt using original materials not far away, in front of the Passetto along via dei Corridori, the road parallel to Via della Conciliazione.
The building, which had an extraordinary architectonic quality, has been demolished and rebuilt with another plan between via Rusticucci and Via dei Corridori, near Brigotti's house.
The north side of Borgo Nuovo originally ended with Palazzo Rusticucci, a large renaissance Palace erected by Domenico Fontana and Carlo Maderno on behalf of Cardinal Girolamo Rusticucci; In 1667, the above mentioned demolition of the first south block of the road in occasion of the erection of St. Peter Square let the palace overlook the new piazza, which took the building's name.

Władysław Ważny (3 February 1908 – 19 August 1944), also known as Wladyslaw Rozmus and Tiger, was a Polish Army officer and Special Operations Executive agent.
He searched for German V-1 flying bomb and V-2 launchers in occupied France and was an organizer of the French resistance movement.
He was the son of Błażej and Maria née Sigłowa and was the oldest of their five daughters and four sons.
After graduating from a teacher's seminary in 1930, he worked as a village teacher in Bobrówka, then in Surochów and in Sośnica near Jarosław, where he became headmaster.
After the outbreak of World War II, he participated in the September campaign as a platoon commander in the 39th Lwów Rifles Infantry Regiment (stationed in Jarosław).
After the conquest of Poland by Nazi Germany and Soviet invasion of Poland, in October 1939, he escaped to France, where he joined the emerging Polish Army in France (1939–40).
He was to fly to Poland, but was instead sent to POWN in France (Polish Organization for the Struggle for Independence) by military chief Antoni Zdrojewski.
His task was to create an intelligence network in occupied France, gathering information about the location of Nazi troops, their forces and movements.
After landing in March 1944 in France, the most important intelligence was information about the V-1 flying bomb and V-2 rocket launchers deployed in Nord and Pas-de-Calais.
Thanks to collaborators, mostly from the local Polish population, but also from the French, he broadcast 182 radio reports to London about the location of 173 V-1 launchers, 5 V-2 launchers and 17 transport information missiles.
His intelligence grid yielded information that destroyed two landing ramps for flying bombs, levers in Douai, the aircraft engine factory in Albert.
Ważny's collaborator, Mieczysław Golon, believed that the RAF bunkers and V1 launchers were destroyed four hours after Tiger sent his report.
The fact that his death occurred quickly seemed to confirm that he could have taken poison that he carried with him.
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, speaking to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom in February 1946, paid tribute to him and his intelligence network..
Ważny, was a Polish agent of the British Special Operations Executive (SOE), a forgotten hero who was never decorated by the British Ministry of Defense and British authorities.
His only love was Danuta Klepatówna from Ruda Różaniecka, a postal worker with whom he corresponded until the end of his life.

Erickson returned to Eldora to try to qualify for the race there again in 2015, driving a second truck for Empire due to Sean Corr being in the No.
Empire did this instead of fielding a separate truck of their own so Erickson could have a better chance of qualifying (which he successfully did).
Erickson works as a farmer, an owner of two businesses, and an owner-driver of a dirt racing team in his hometown of Ulen, Minnesota.
He graduated from both the University of Northwestern Ohio with a degree in High Performance and Chassis Fabrication, and Northland Technical College (in Minnesota) with a degree in Farm Business Management.

For example, some of the first concentration camps set up in 1933 were deliberately located in working-class neighborhoods of Berlin so that the population would learn what happened to Nazi opponents.
Wachsmann argues that the concentration camps were only peripheral to the Final Solution, because most Jewish victims of the Holocaust died in shootings, gas vans, or dedicated extermination camps rather than in the concentration camp system.
Although Jews made up a majority of deaths in concentration camps, they ranged from 10–30% of the population depending on the time period.
The book is a work of synthetic history drawing mainly on published German sources, although it also incorporates the author's archival research.
Wachsmann ends the book with a vignette about Moritz Choinowski, a Polish Jew liberated by the United States Army at Dachau.
He describes the book as both panoptic and intimate, in that it gives the big picture while humanizing the story with anecdotes.

Catalon was a recipient of a 1993 National Heritage Fellowship awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts, which is the United States government's highest honor in the folk and traditional arts.
Inez Catalon was born in Maurice, Louisiana and grew up in nearby Kaplan, Louisiana, the youngest of ten children of German, Spanish, French and African ancestry.
By the time Inez was a child, all but one of her older siblings had moved away from the home but none of Catalon's sisters were interested in learning the songs that were passed down from prior generations.
Inez, however, enjoyed learning the cantiques (songs that originated in France) that her mother knew, spending most of her day singing songs on the steps of the family home.
Inez Catalon never received formal schooling, due to the death of her father which required the Catalon children to go to work.
She was most well-known for her unaccompanied performances of songs that told their stories through a series of vignettes, passed down from her French-speaking ancestors.
She also enjoyed singing other styles of traditional music as well as popular songs of the day, including blues, jazz, Tin Pan Alley and Jimmie Rodgers tunes.
In Louisiana, she performed several times during the mid-1980s at the Louisiana Folklife Festival in Baton Rouge as well as appearances at both the Festivals Acadiens et Créoles and Festival International de Louisiane in Lafayette.
Catalon was also a frequent performer at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, usually accompanied by folk singer and folklorist Marce Lacouture.
Lacouture is from Texas but has Cajun ancestry on her father's side, which she began to explore in the early 1980s by spending time doing research in Acadiana.
By 1983, she had met ballad singers Catalon and Lula Landry from whom Lacouture was learning the old French a capella songs, as well as Cajun and Creole cultural history.
In 1986, Lacouture was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to formally apprentice with Catalon and Landry, as an attempt to preserve the old, traditional songs associated with home music.
The relationship was more than just professional, as Lacouture became a close friend to both women, learning from them in their homes and being treated as if she was a granddaughter.
Catalon died in her sleep on November 23, 1994 at Abram Kaplan Memorial Hospital in Kaplan, Louisiana as a result of long-standing heart problems.
published originally in 1999 and for which Catalon received credit as a contributor; it was reissued as a second edition in 2014.

The 2018 Colombian Census is the XVIII population census and VII of housing developed by the Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística (DANE) in the Republic of Colombia, whose guidelines and rules were established in decree 1899 of November 22, 2017.
Initially, it was planned to develop the census in several phases as follows: e-Census (virtual) from January 9 to March 8, 2018 and face-to-face visits to homes, which began in April and were due to end on June 30, 2018.
Subsequently, due to the incidents with the construction of the project Hidroituango that forced the evacuation of several municipalities, the winter emergency, security problems in the Catatumbo and the change of the government authorities, the face-to-face visits to homes extended until September 2018.
Algunos de los resultados preliminares se dieron a conocer a finales de agosto, although the final results were expected to be published in the third week of September, it was finally announced that these would become official on October 30, 2018. the second delivery of preliminary results was made on November 6, 2018.
As reported by DANE, the entire process of executing the census has 32 million people and its budget is 310 million pesos.
Prior to this census, the last population census in Colombia was the 2005 Census, which was conducted between May 22, 2005 and May 22, 2006.
According to the official projections that had been made from the records of that census, the population of Colombia in 2018 should be about 49 834 240 inhabitants.
However, in the preliminary delivery of results, it was noted that these projections were incorrect and that by 2018 the population of Colombia was about 45.5 million people.
Finally, the census results were revealed on July 4, 2019 at a press conference, announcing an estimated 48,258,499 people in Colombia.

Joering, 39, and Morelli, 54, were shot and killed by Quentin Smith, who had punched and choked his wife leading to her making a 9-1-1 hangup call.
Smith, who was 30 at the time, and who was prohibited from having a gun, was shot five times but survived.
Smith, who had an extensive criminal history involving burglary, intimidation, aggravated menacing, domestic violence, and felonious assault, was tried in October 2019, and convicted on November 1, 2019.
For perhaps the first time in Ohio, family members of the victims gave victim impact statements to the jury during the sentencing phase of a capital case.
The jury recommended that Smith be sentenced to life in prison although some members of the jury reported that their fellow jurors refused to consider the death penalty.
Both victims have been remembered in several ways, including by having part of a highway named after them, and by having their cruiser doors displayed in Washington D.C. as part of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial for National Police Week.
He graduated from Westerville South High School in 1997 and went on to attend the Columbus State Community College Police Program.
He spent his sixteen years with the Westerville Police Department working as a patrol officer, a detective, and as a K-9 Officer with his dog partner Sam.
At the time of the murders, Quentin Smith (born February 23, 1987) was staying at a townhouse in Westerville, Ohio where his wife Candace and their daughter lived.
The Smiths had been separated for about a year and he was living with his mother in Cleveland but had come back to Westerville for a visit.
Along with domestic violence, his arrest records, and convictions show a criminal history that involved burglary, motor vehicle theft, carrying a concealed weapon, intimation, aggravated menacing, simple assault, and felonious assault.
According to Suber, Henry had tried to prevent Smith from taking her car after she kicked him out of the house.
Smith, who told police that he was defending himself, was charged with two counts of felonious assault, one count of aggravated menacing and one count of theft of a motor vehicle by a Grand Jury but those charges were dropped after Henry did not appear in court to testify.
In October 2008, during an argument with his then-wife Krysten Smith, Krysten said Smith started waving a gun around and screaming that he knew she was cheating on him and that he should have killed her two days ago.
After Krysten went to a neighbor's home for help Smith forced his way into the residence and pointed a gun at his wife’s head.
During that stint, most of which was spent at the Richland Correctional Institution in Mansfield, he had one disciplinary-conduct report after entering another inmates cell and punching him.
In September 2017, she called to say that Smith was drunk and doing something to her car as he was moving out.
She left the department saying that she wanted to talk to her father first but thirty minutes later she and Smith got into an argument when she accused him of cheating on her and giving her a sexually transmitted infection.
Police recommended that Candace and the baby stay in a different part of the house and that they contact them if they got into another argument.
On January 20, 2018, Smith's mother called police to his house to report a disturbance but Smith and Candace said they did not need the police.
Though Smith was not allowed to own a firearm due to his criminal history, he paid Gerald Lawson 100 dollars to buy one for him.
On February 8, Smith, who had been living in Cleveland with his mother after he and his wife separated, came back to Westerville to visit with his daughter.
That male co-worker had gotten a ride from Candace to his father’s house to get a car, as his fiancee had cancer and had taken their car to a medical facility.
Smith, however, believed that his wife was romantically involved with this co-worker and became enraged and started face-timing her from the store.
When Smith got home he physically assaulted Candace by punching her in the face with a closed fist and choking her with both hands until she lost consciousness.
Smith opened the door and Joering and Morelli told the Smiths they were responding to a call about a domestic dispute.
When the shooting stopped Candace went back in the house to get her daughter who was in the living room and found Joering down in doorway and Morelli tussling on the floor with Smith.
It then traveled through the left cerebral hemisphere of his brain, fractured his skull, and went out the back of his neck.
The bullet went through his left lung, through the back cover of his covering of his heart and into the right lung, with the bullet being recovered from his right chest cavity.
After shots were fired, Officer Ray went around to the front and inside the house where he found Joering, Morelli, and Smith all of whom had been shot.
He tried to aid Joering but quickly realized that he was dead as he had no pulse and was shot in the forehead.
He tried to tend to Morelli while telling Smith, who was still trying to move, to stay down and keeping his gun pointed at him.
Officer Stacey Pentecost testified that she found Morelli laying on the floor holding himself up by elbow and Joering laying behind him on his side.
Officer Dan Betts helped Officer Ray secure Smith and then went over to help Morelli and pulled him outside of the house.
An inmate at the County Jail testified that Smith had told him that he had guns and drugs in the house and that he observed an officer behind the house and two more in the front before opening the door.
According to the inmate's testimony, because of the guns and drugs he had, Smith pulled out his gun and shot the first officer twice.
Jury selection began on October 18 and was finalized on October 28 with the trial beginning later that day with opening arguments.
The defense argued that Smith did not intend to kill Joering and Morelli, but that he reacted in a moment of panic and confusion.
On October 29, police officer Timothy Ray, who went to Smith's house with Joering and Morelli, was the first witness called.
Also on October 30, a deputy county coroner testified that Joering died of a gunshot wound to the forehead while Morelli died of a gunshot wound that entered through his left chest and went through his left lung, the covering of his heart, and his right lung.
The jury deliberated for three and a half hours before finding Smith guilty of two counts of aggravated murder, two counts of murder and one count of domestic violence along with two specifications that made him eligible for the death penalty - killing police officers purposely and killing two or more people purposely.
The sentencing phase of the trial began on Monday, November 4 with the first witnesses being Morelli's widow Linda Morelli, Joering’s widow Jami Joering, and Morelli’s daughter Elizabeth Morelli who were called by the State of Ohio.
The widows gave victim impact statements, telling jurors about the effects of the murders on them and their families while Morelli’s daughter spoke about how she got married shortly after her father’s death without him there.
It was believed to be the first time in Ohio that victim impact statements were allowed in the sentencing phase of a capital case.
Later that day, the jury recommended Smith be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole after deliberating for almost four hours and becoming deadlocked.
Though prosecutors said they found the decision disappointing in some regards the victims’ widows told them they were pleased with the sentence.
A male and a female juror told a local TV station that several jurors refused to consider voting for a death sentence.
And everybody did- but when we got in that room, one just sat back and said, 'Life - I can't do it.
On November 21, Judge Richard Frye sentenced Smith to two consecutive life sentences without parole, along with twenty-six and a half years imprisonment.
The City of Westerville’s Twitter account reported that an officer had been killed on the day of the murders just before 2:00 pm.
The local Fraternal Order of Police set up a Go Fund Me account which was verified by the city to help cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and education costs for the victims' children.
A funeral for Morelli was held at the Moreland Funeral Home while Joering’s funeral was held in the Hill Funeral Home.
In July 2018, Morelli and Joering's police badge insignias, as well as a badge insignia belonging to another fallen police officer were placed on a training jet used in Columbus State Community College’s aviation maintenance program.
Morelli and Joering were honored in both an annual memorial ceremony for fallen Ohio police officers as well as in a national ceremony for fallen police officers.
The Ohio memorial took place in London, Ohio, at the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy while the national ceremony was in Washington D.C.
In October 2019 the Blue Blood Brotherhood, a non-profit group, donated twenty-eight sets of body armor plates to the Westerville Police Department and the Delaware County Sheriff’s tactical unit.

He was most notable for several terms in the Vermont House of Representatives (six terms between 1839 and 1862), a term in the Vermont Senate (1864), and appointment as United States Marshal for Vermont (1865 to 1869).
Hugh Horatio Henry was born in Rockingham, Vermont on October 13, 1814, a son of Hugh Horatio Henry (1767-1847) and Elizabeth Susan (Dodge) Henry (1781-1831).
When the Republican Party was formed in the 1850s as the main-anti-slavery party in the United States, Henry became an early adherent.
With the rest of the state's delegation, Henry supported Jacob Collamer for president on the first ballot as a favorite son.
Most members of the Vermont delegation intended to change their support to William H. Seward, the frontrunner, but Henry backed Abraham Lincoln and lobbied Vermont delegates and those from nearby states.
During his term, the Fenian Brotherhood, an organization of Irish Republicans, attempted to attack the British dominion of Canada from staging areas in Vermont.
Henry took steps to prevent the Fenians from receiving weapons or traveling to Canada, and later oversaw their dispersal and departure from the state.
His funeral was held at his home, and was attended by prominent Vermonters including Judge David Allen Smalley and General George J. Stannard.

The British literary figure and designer William Morris (1834-1896), a founder of the British Arts and Crafts Movement, was especially known for his wallpaper designs.
These were created for the firm he founded with his partners in 1861, Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Company, and later for Morris and Company.
He created fifty different block-printed wallpapers, all with intricate, stylised patterns based on nature, particularly upon the native flowers and plants of Britain.
His wallpapers and textile designs had a major effect on British interior designs, and then upon the subsequent Art Nouveau movement in Europe and the United States.
His partners in the company were members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of painters who rejected the art and design of the Victorian era, and sought to revive earlier themes and techniques of art and craftsmanship.
However, two years passed between the time he designed the paper and the time he was able to print it to his satisfaction.
His primary objective was to make the wallpaper by hand, with transparent oil colours on zinc plates, rather than However, when he could not make this work to his satisfaction, he gave the task to an established wallpaper firm, Jeffrey and company, which printed it with wood blocks and distemper colours.
For the bedroom of his own residence Kelmscott House, which he decorated in 1879, he used the trellis design with a blue background.
At the end of the 1860s, in order to bring in more orders, he created an entirely different group of four papers based on a new design, called the Indian.
In 1868, though he disliked the Victorian idea of using several different designs of wallpaper in the same room, intended especially for the ceilings of rooms.
In the 1870s, through practice and continual refinement, he achieved a mastery of the technique and a more sophisticated and subtle style, with a finer balance between color, variety, and structure.
During this period he created some of this most famous designs, creating an illusion of three dimension, with lavish flowers interwoven with a complex and lush background.
A typical Morris wallpaper in the 1870s required as much as four weeks to manufacture, using thirty different printing blocks and fifteen separate colours.
The wallpapers of Morris were regarded as strange and excessive for most wealthy Victorians, who preferred the more geometric and traditional French styles The early clients of Morris his wallpapers were mostly his avant-garde artist friends His early designs were purchased by his close friend painter Edward Burne-Jones, and Punch cartoonist Edward Linley Sambourne.
He also had as few avant-garde aristocratic clients, including the Earl and Countess of Carlisle, who used the 'Bird and Anemone' and two sunflower designs in their home at Castle Howard in Yorkshire.
In the 1880s, his work finally received royal attention: In 1880 he was asked to redecorate rooms St. James's Palace in London.
In 1887 Queen Victoria again commissioned Morris & Company, this time to another special design for wallpaper at Balmoral Castle, based on the 'VRI' initials of the Queen.
Between 1864 and 1867, for his early wallpapers such as the Trellis, Fruit and Pacquerette, he experimented with printing them with blocks of zinc but decided that this was too complex and took too long.
He turned to a commercial company, Barrett of Bethnal Green, which made the first blocks for him in the traditional way from pearwood.
The design was first outlined on the block, and carved in wood, cutting sway everything except for the part of there design to be printed in one colour.
The pigments, made with natural ingredients, were mixed with sizing or a binder, and then put into shallow trays, called wells.
The long papers were passed over on wooden rods overhead, with the section of paper to be printed placed flat on a table in front of the craftsman.
The printer painted a pad with the first colour, then pressed the block down onto the pad to put the paint onto its surfaces.
When the colour on the first sheet was dry, he took another block and printed the next colour over the first and so on, colour after colour, until the design was complete.
in the 1850s, during the Victorian era Prior to Morris, most English wallpaper was inspired by the geometric and historical designs of Augustus Welby Pugin, who had created the neo-Gothic interiors of Westminster Palace, and Owen Jones, notable for his abstract geometric patterns.
in s different direction, it was also strongly influenced by imitations of the colorful and highly ornate French wallpaper of the Napoleon III style.
He placed his flowers and plants in series which were carefully created to be rhythmic and balanced, giving a sense of order and harmony.
In the 1870s and 1880s his designs became denser, richer and more complex, but they preserved the sense of and harmony and equilibrium which he sought.
The most prominent were John Henry Dearle, who collaborated closely with Morris on many of his projects, and issued them under the name of Morris.
The sisters and designers Kate Faulkner and Lucy Faulkner Orrinsmith also collaborated with Morris, and adapted elements of his philosophy and style in their own work.

Robert Henry Buck, universally known as Bob Buck, (2 July 1881 - 9 August 1960) was a pastoralist and bushman who is best remembered as being one of the people to recover the body of Lewis Harold Bell Lasseter.
Buck was born on 2 July 1881 in Alberton in South Australia and he is the son of Robert and Sarah Ann Buck.
Buck was primarily self-educated and, until 1905, worked in and around Wallaroo until he joined his uncle Joseph Breaden to work in the Northern Territory.
Buck's uncle owned Todmorden, Henbury and Idracowra stations in the Northern Territory and his brother Allan, also Buck's uncle, managed Idracowra Station.
In 1907 Buck overlanded 800 head of cattle from Brunette Downs Station to Henbury Station, a journey which due to severe drought took 10 months, where he became the manager.
Buck was well respected and fondly regarded by the Aboriginal people living nearby Henbury Station and it is said he treated them well and was generous with rations compared to his contemporaries.
During this period Buck frequently made lengthy visits to Hermannsburg, which was a Lutheran Mission being run by Carl Strehlow, as his daughter Ettie was living, alongside Elsie Butler, there with missionaries Mr and Mrs Emil Munchenburg so that they could receive private tuition.
Buck always made his visits to Hermannsburg with Molly and many expected that the often puritanical Carl Strehlow would not approve of the pair as they were not legally married, however, he always welcomed them.
In 1927 Buck left Henbury, and his uncles, and, in partnership with his long term friend Alf Butler (father of Elsie), leased Middleton Ponds Station which there two would manage together until 1939.
During this period Buck was also contracted to assist explorer Donald Mackay complete aerial surveys of the Northern Territory and Western Australia by assisting on the ground and working with a team of Aboriginal men and camels; Buck and his team cleared aerodromes, left supplies, guided aeroplanes with smoke-signals and many other tasks.
In February 1931 Buck, alongside Johnson Breaden, Lion and Billy Button and several other men, were commissioned to search for Lewis Harold Bell Lasseter and they found and buried his body.
There was suspicion at the time that Buck had not actually found the body and this brought Buck to national attention and was even travelled to Sydney to be interviewed by the media.
In 1939 the Buck and Butler dissolved their partnership and Buck began managing Renner's Rock Station until he retired to Alice Springs in 1953.
In Alice Springs Buck became an 'identity' at the Stuart Arms Hotel and he became a notorious yarn-spinner who told many tall stories.
Dumas has devoted himself to the study of the specific sexual reproduction mechanisms of flowering plants and their applications for the genetic improvement of cultivated plants.
He studied at the IPES (Institut des Professeurs de l'Enseignement Secondaire) at Claude Bernard University (UCB) from 1962 to 1965), then from 1965 to 1968 he was a teacher in secondary education including 1 year at the Centre Pédagogique Régional de Lyon.
He passed the CAPES in natural sciences in 1968, followed by 2 years as a Volunteer in the National Active Service (VSNA) in Tunisia (Sousse high school).
He was Visiting Professor, Tohoku University and Miyasaki University (Japan Society of Promotion of Sciences in 1987), Stanford, UCLA, Flagstaff University (Invited by the French Embassy in California).
Dumas first explored the mechanisms of stigmatous secretion : the stigma is in the flower, the female organ that receives pollen (male partner), before engaging in the study of male and female partners in sexual reproduction and their interactions at the origin of seed formation.
In these various key areas of seed production, the team led by Christian Dumas characterized the stigmatic receptor linked to the incompatibility mechanism as well as its ligand, it also characterized the stigmatic and ovular receptivity period and also made it possible to carry out various pollination-fertilization bioassays, including the first in vitro fertilization in flowering plants under physiological conditions close to normal.
This work has been carried out in several model and/or interesting species such as maize, cabbage Brassica oleracea and Arabidopsis thaliana, the fruit fly of plant biologists; in addition, the search for genes involved in floral fragrance and flower structure has been initiated in rose as well as preliminary work on the origin of flowering plants using Amborella trichopoda-core species of all current flowering plants endemic to New Caledonia.
Dumas has remained close to secondary education through his close links with the Association of Professors of Biology and Geology by organizing practical workshops, training seminars or participating in its events.
He was elected to the French Academy of sciences as Correspondant, Animal and Plant Biology Section in 1989 and then as Member, Integrative Biology Section in 2002 to which he was a delegate between 2011 and 2014.
He has been Professor Emeritus since 2011, he is a member of two Academy commissions: the Teaching Commission (including La Main à la Pâte) and the Environment Commission; he also chaired the working group on the reform of its governance in 2009.

He took a one year hiatus from racing in 1998, but returned in 1999 to achieve a 4th place finish in the WTP South African Championship.
He was set to win the 2007 SA Karting Championship, but suffered a broken chain during the final round of the season.
2007 saw Bonafede move to saloon racing, joining the South African Volkswagen Polo Cup, achieving mild success with a podium finish and a pole position in his first season.
Focusing on his matric examinations in 2008, he had to settle for a second place finish in the Polo Cup season that year, with 4 wins and 2 pole positions.
He achieved relative success, with a third place finish in the 2012 and 2014 championships being the highlights of his stay.
After the Production Car Championship folded in 2015, Bonafede joined BMW for the inaugural season of the Sasol GTC Championship in 2016.
The 2017 season saw Bonafede start off strongly, leading the championship for over half the season, before falling short at the final round at Zwartkops Raceway, once again to Stephen.
He ended the 2018 championship in third place, crashing out in the season finale and losing second in the standings to Simon Moss.
He joined Boutsen Ginion Racing for two rounds of the 2019 Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup, finishing 46th overall and 8th in the Am-class at the 24 Hours of Spa.
He finished 5th in the Pro Am-class (32nd overall) at the 3 Hours of Barcelona, ending the season 21st in the Pro Am-standings and 28th in the Am-standings.
He also took part in two rounds of the 2019 Intercontinental GT Challenge, with the 24 Hours of Spa overlapping between the two championships.
She is perhaps best known for being the partner of Australian rugby league player Frank Winterstein, who she married in 2013.
In March 2019, Instagram placed restrictions on her account and her social media accounts were restricted by Facebook in a crackdown to prevent dangerous and misinformed anti-vaccination messages.
Winterstein urges parents to question the safety of childhood vaccinations and says parents are being bullied and pressured by GPs to give their children vaccinations.
Samoan health officials and the World Health Organization (WHO) blame unqualified figures such as Winterstein and the anti-vaccination movement for a decline in immunisation rates, which in turn caused the 2019 measles epidemic to be more severe and deadly.
Winterstein blamed the Samoan government for the epidemic as she claims it did not distribute Vitamin A tablets to those who contracted the illness.
In the midst of the vaccination crisis in June 2019, just months before the measles outbreak, Winterstein met with fellow anti-vaxxer Robert Kennedy Jr. in Samoa.
Nikki Turner, director of the Immunisation Advisory Centre at the University of Auckland accused the anti-vaccine movement of ramping up their activity in Samoa when the vaccination rates had dropped, particularly on social media.
Medical experts warned that the deadly measles outbreak in Samoa is a sign of the expansion of an increasingly predatory anti-vaccination movement.
A measles outbreak was declared on 16 October and led to the Samoan government declaring a state of emergency on 15 November 2019 and to the introduction of an emergency mandatory vaccination strategy.
Under the emergency measures children and adults were obliged to vaccinate, while kindergartens, schools and the university were closed, and unvaccinated pregnant women were barred from attending work.
After the outbreak, the anti-vax activists doubled-down on social media, and the Samoan government met resistance from anti-vaxxers to its emergency strategy, notably from Winterstein.
She was critical of the current medical treatment of antibiotics and acetaminophen being given, recommending vitamin A tablets for those with measles instead.
The Samoan Government ordered anti-vaccination advocates such as Winterstein to stop discouraging people from seeking vaccination, with the Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi suggesting imprisonment for anti-vaccination advocates.
As of late December, there were 83 deaths and 5,700 confirmed cases of measles out of a Samoan population of 201,000.
In an attempt to counter the Australian state and federal no-jab, no-play laws, the workshops also canvass anti-vaxxer parents' options for daycare and preschool.
Winterstein also presented at the 2019 Canberra Vaccination Conference, an anti-vaccination event, alongside other renowned anti-vaxxers such as Judy Wilyman and Michael O'Neill from IMOP, an Australian anti-vax/anti-flouride political party.
The website for the company that produces PXP, Enzacta, claims a number of health benefits for their product, including that it can help with pain, migraines, autism, improve eyesight and wrinkles.
Other unsubstantiated medical claims have been made regarding PXP, including that it neutralises free radicals, incorrectly claimed to be the root of cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, stroke and diabetes.
Winterstein sold PXP for up to $1000 a kilogram, whereas purple rice, which is the same as black rice, can be purchased from supermarkets for around $10 a kilogram.
Customers could get a discount on PXP if they signed up to sell the product, also giving them the prospect of bonuses and luxury rewards.
Enzacta, the company behind PXP, lists its office as a postbox in Wyoming, USA which is also a depot for hundreds of other businesses.

The Women's Army Corps (Kowad) is the official administrative formation of women in active service in the combat, combat support and service support formations of the Indonesian Army.
In 1959, with Sukarno's guided democracy policies now in force, the National Armed Forces considered making a historic decision to finally enlist women to serve in its ranks.
For many years before, during and after the Indonesian National Revolution, many women fought as either individual rebels or as part of rebel formations that fought for Indonesia's independence from the rule of the Dutch and many women had even made societal advances for various causes, including feminism and the economic and social scene.
For these reasons and others, Colonel Dr. Sumarno, then assistant chief of staff of personnel of the Indonesian Army, conveyed his ideas of the service of women for certain fields of assignment that required precision, perseverance, patience, and maternal qualities that became the nature of women to better achieve organizational affiliation within the ranks of the regular Army and in the reserves.

The Government Delegation for Gender Violence (, DGVG) is a unit of the Secretariat of State for Equality of the Spanish Department of the Presidency responsible for proposing the central government policy against the different forms of violence against women and promoting, coordinating and advising on all the measures carried out in this matter.
The DGVG is headed by a Delegate of the Government, a civil servant with the rank of director-general appointed by the Monarch with the advice of the Minister of the Presidency, Relations with the Cortes and Equality.
The Government Delegation is structured through a central organization integrated by two deputy directorates-general and a decentralized network of gender violence units.
The Delegation of the Government manages the national registers of gender violence victims; the women register was created in 2003 and the childs register in 2013.
The Government Delegation for Gender Violence was first devised in 2004 during the first term of prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.
The organ was granted the rank of directorate-general and its first holder was Encarnación Orozco, a Labour Law expert and Socialist Parliamentary Group's Legal Cabinet advisor.
In the second term of Zapatero's premiership, in 2008, the unit was renamed Government Delegation for Gender Violence and it was transferred to the Ministry of Equality.
It was endowed with two deputy directorates-general, one for Planning and Inter-institutional Coordination and other for Preventing and Managing of Gender Violence Knowledge.
However, in 2010, due to the economic crisis, the Equality Ministry was dismantled and its responsibilities were assumed by the newly created Secretariat of State for Equality, a component of the Ministry of Health, Social Policy and Equality.
In 2018, the Secretariat of State and its units were transferred to the Ministry of the Presidency, Relations with the Cortes and Equality due to the great importance that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Presidency, Carmen Calvo, gives to equality policies since she, within the Socialist Party, was the maximum person in charge of these responsibilities.
In accordance with the Organic Act on Integral Protection Measures Against Gender Violence which creates this organ, its holder is entitled before the courts of justice to intervene in defense of the rights and interests protected in said law in collaboration and coordination with the Administrations with competence in the field.
The Government Delegation manages the National Network of Coordination and Gender Violence Units, a set of units integrated in the Government Delegations, Government Sub-delegations and Insular Directorates for the territorial execution of the central government's policy regarding gender violence.

McGregor tells how Khabzela rose to fame in post-apartheid South Africa, enjoying relative fame and wealth and leading a hedonistic and promiscuous lifestyle.
For Shula Marks, the biography shows that ambivalence towards medical treatment of AIDS was not just the result of the dubious dictates of the Thabo Mbeki government, but also stemmed from ingrained attitudes in the wider South African public.
Nogwaja Shadrack Zulu writes that beyond the surface narrative of the biography, the book explores the politics around AIDS in 1990s South Africa and raises questions about the consequences of AIDS denialism at that time.
Gavin Steingo writes the McGregor cannot understand why Khabzela pursued a course that ended in his own death, and finds her proffered explanations – that he craved independence or wanted to retain the added attention that his illness brought – unconvincing.

The Railway Engineer Regiment () is a military engineer regiment of the Italian Army based in Castel Maggiore in the Emilia Romagna.
Today the regiment is administratively assigned to the army's Engineer Command and NATO's only unit capable of railway construction and operation.
The usefulness of these troops was noted in the Kingdom of Italy and on 30 September 1873 the Italian defense minister Cesare Ricotti-Magnani ordered that each of the two engineer regiments of the Royal Italian Army was to form two railway construction companies and three railroad operations companies.
On 2 July 1895 these railway companies were combined in the battalion-sized Railway Brigade, which consisted of four railway construction companies and two railroad operations companies.
One of the companies assigned to the new regiment, the 6th Diggers Company of the 2nd Engineer Regiment, had distinguished itself during crossing of the Macerone pass on 20 October 1860 during the Third Italian War of Independence and arrived with a Bronze Medal of Military Valour, which was affixed to the flag of the newly raised regiment.
During World War I the regiment mobilized two more railway engineer battalions, twelve railway construction companies, one railway operations battalion, four decauville companies, and 177 photoelectric sections, which operated searchlights along the Italian Front.
The regiment began to operate the Chivasso–Ivrea–Aosta railway in 1915 and after World War I it also began to operate the Bolzano-Meran-Mals railway in the newly annexed province of South Tyrol.
The battalions saw service in Libya and Tunisia during the Western Desert Campaign and Tunisian Campaign, in Southern Ukraine as part of the Italian Expeditionary Corps in Russia, in Yugoslavia, Albania, Greece and France.
In 1941 the 9th Company of the IV Railway Engineer Battalion built a combined road and rail bridge over the Corinth Canal, using an Austrian .
The same battalion repaired the bridge over the Gorgopotamos river after the British-Greek Operation Harling had successfully destroyed the bridge on 25 November 1942.
The regiment's I Railway Engineer Battalion served in Ukraine and Russia, where during the Battle of Arbuzovka the battalion fought in the frontline as infantry, earning a War Cross of Military Valour.
After Italy changed sides with the Armistice of Cassibile on 8 September 1943 and the regiment and its battalions were disbanded by the Germans.
On 1 January 1954 the I Railway Battalion became an autonomous unit and the process of reforming the Railway Engineer Regiment began.
On 1 January 1962 the regiment received the VI Army Corps Engineer Battalion in Bologna and on 1 February 1964 the II Bridge Engineer Battalion returned to the 2nd Bridge Engineer Regiment.
On 8 October 1977 floodwaters of the Toce river swept the railway bridge of the Domodossola–Milan railway between Fondotoce and Feriolo away and the Railway Engineer Regiment was called up to rebuild the bridge.
After the Bosnian War the regiment was deployed from 1996 to 1998 to Bosnia-Herzegovina to repair the long Novi Grad–Bosanska Otoka–Martin Brod–Strmica railway in Northern Bosnia, which was heavily damaged during the war.
On 1 December 1997 the regiment passed from the Tuscan-Emilian Military Region to the army's Engineer Grouping, which on 10 September 2010 became the Engineer Command.
In July 1999 after the Kosovo War the regiment was deployed to Kosovo, where the regiment operated the Skopje–Kosovo Polje–Pristina railway, and repaired/operated the Kosovo Polje–Peć and Klina–Prizren railways.
In 2001 the regiment ceded the operation of the Chivasso–Ivrea–Aosta railway to the Ferrovie dello Stato and on 1 February 2002 the regiment activated the Operations Battalion in Ozzano Emilia, which received some of the troops and equipment of the 2nd Railway Engineer Battalion (Operations) in Turin, before the latter disbanded on 31 August of the same year and reformed as 32nd Engineer Battalion the next day.
The new Operations Battalion was disbanded on 31 October 2017 and its functions and personnel merged into the 1st Railway Engineer Battalion.

He was the chief librarian of the Prague Jewish community in the period between the two world wars and the professional manager of the Jewish Museum in Prague during the Nazi Occupation.
His nephew (the son of his oldest brother – Joel Julius Jakobovits), Lord Dr. Israel Immanuel Jakobovits (8 February 1921 – 31 October 1999) became the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth between 1967 and 1991.
Tobias Jakobovits was born 23 November 1887 in Lakompak, in what was then western Hungary and today is known as Lackenbach in Austria.
Tobias was privileged to receive both a religious and secular education simultaneously in accordance with the cultural state of central Europe at that time.
He studied first in the Bratislava Yeshiva (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, today the capital of Slovakia) and completed his rabbinical studies at the Berlin Seminar.
In 1917 he served as the chief rabbi of the Michle Quarter that was then known as Quarter 4 in the city.
He was granted Czechoslovakian citizenship, was promoted to the position of head librarian of the Jewish community in Prague and also got married.
At the same time, Tobias was active in the Council of Rabbis of Bohemia and also worked as an instructor for religious studies at German Jewish schools.
In the year 1928 he discontinued his position as the rabbi in Prague but for the next two years he fulfilled the position of rabbi, cantor and religious school teacher in the small town Uhlířské Janovice, in proximity to Prague.
Under his leadership, the library engaged in collecting rare holy books and manuscripts dealing with subjects pertaining to Judaism and the history of Czech Jews.
In this endeavor of extensive revising it is quite apparent his comprehensive knowledge of the general history of the Jews and his mastery of additional foreign languages and literature.
During the second half of the 1930s the shadow of the approaching war began to affect the family of Tobias Jakobovits.
In the middle of 1939, Jakobovits sent his firstborn son, Joseph, to the Land of Israel and then a few months later also sent his younger son, Moshe.
After the conquest and occupation of the city by the Nazi Germans in March 1939 the library was closed, but Jakobovits continued to be employed by the Jewish community as the Archiver and researcher.
Despite the fact that he was offered a position as an historian in the United States, Jakobovits preferred to stay in Prague and contribute his knowledge in the occupied city.
In 1942 Tobias was added to the team of the Jewish Museum in Prague under the Nazi occupation as an expert in history and ancient manuscripts.
He became the professional manager of the museum, and despite the fact that Joseph Polak created the concept of the museum, the official responsibility for the running of the museum was predicated on Jakobovits.
To execute this purpose, they concentrated in the museum a variety of many Jewish treasures that were plundered by them from all around Nazi-occupied Europe.
Jakobovits and his colleagues engaged in sorting out hundreds of thousands of Jewish items – holy items, books, handwritten documents and manuscripts –- that arrived from all over Europe.
Jakobovits was the curator of the first exhibition that took place under Nazi occupation in the Great Synagogue of Prague in October 1942.
The exhibition was based upon the project which he himself instituted in 1927 and included rare Jewish and Hebrew books and manuscripts.
In 1943, he participated in the writing of a guidebook to the central Jewish museum and it this work he described the history of the synagogues in which was located the Jewish museum.
Jakobovits maintained an optimistic attitude regarding the fate of the Jews that were deported by the Nazis to camps in the east and expressed his hope that the purpose of the museum will be to preserve the Jewish items during the war and until these items will be returned to their rightful owners and the Jewish communities throughout Europe.
As an historian, Jakobovits performed research about the Jews of Europe in general and, specifically, about the Jews in Czechoslovakia and Bohemia.

Following an appeal led by John Platts-Mills, QC, their sentences were later reduced to eight months, although the convictions themselves were upheld, and Lord Justice Haymes commented that the reduction did not ameliorate the seriousness of their crimes.
The officer responsible for their arrest, who was also the chief prosecution witness at their subsequent trial—Detective Sergeant Derek Ridgewell—was later tried and convicted for conspiracy of theft from the Royal Mail in 1980, where he received a seven-year sentence but died in Ford Prison two years later.
Following the case's collapse, Ridgwell was transferred to a unit investigating the theft of mail bags; however, he took the opportunity while there to take join forces with thieves who would steal the bags and with whom Ridgewell would split the profits.

A Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) is a type of sports prototype race car used as the top class of the FIA World Endurance Championship and the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
Le Mans–Daytona Hypercars were created jointly by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), and the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, as a successor class to the Le Mans Prototype LMP1 class from the 2020–21 season.
Unlike its predecessor class, where bespoke Prototypes were created to race in the category, cars entered in the Le Mans–Daytona Hypercar class can either be race-ready versions of existing hypercars, or specially designed prototypes, with hybrid power being optional for manufacturers.
Following the successive exits of Audi and Porsche from the FIA World Endurance Championship at the end of the 2016 and 2017 seasons, due to the fallout of the Volkswagen emissions scandal at the parent company of both automobile manufacturers, as well as spiralling costs in the LMP1-Hybrid Category, the ACO began a series of discussions aimed at reducing the costs of competition for the next generation LMP1 rules.
Initially, a single, low-power hybrid system had been positioned for what had originally been planned as the new-generation LMP1 rules, with plans for shared platform with IMSA, with representatives from the three organizations, as well as current and prospective manufacturers, being involved in talks for the proposed regulations, which would debut in the 2020-21 World Endurance Championship season.
In June 2018, ahead of the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans, the FIA first confirmed that the new set of top-level prototype regulations would feature design concepts based on hypercars when implemented, with a summary of the new technical regs, being presented to the FIA World Motor Sport Council in Manila.
At the time, Toyota, Ford, McLaren, Aston Martin and Ferrari, were revealed to have been in roundtable meetings with the championship organisers for the new regulations, with a significantly reduced targeted full-season budget in the region of 25 million Euros, which would be 75% lower than existing budgets used by manufacturer teams.
At the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans, the initial details of the new top class for the FIA World Endurance Championship, were announced at the ACO’s annual press conference, with the regulations set to be active for 5 seasons.
Numerous aspects of the design for the new class would be kept open, with a free engine architecture and the freedom to run any number of cylinders with the choice of a turbocharged or naturally-aspirated design.
The cars would have an overall weight of 980kg while weight distribution would be controlled, alongside a defined maximum fuel flow, with controlled efficiency and other regulations to control developmental costs.
Hybrid systems would feature an electric motor, mounted on the front axle with a fixed performance of 200 kW, giving the cars a four-wheel-drive layout, while the engine’s maximum performance target would be set at .
Each car will have two seats, a bigger cockpit than the current LMP1 machines, a wider windscreen and a roofline more consistent with road cars.
Manufacturers required to make their hybrid systems available for privateer teams to lease at a cost cap, while any manufacturer or company would be able to design and build its own hybrid system, which would undergo homologation by the FIA and ACO.
On 25 July 2018, Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus became the first manufacturer to officially indicate its participation in the new rules, with the manufacturer releasing images of a prototype that it planned to race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The manufacturer would offer a limited run of 25 road legal versions and one race version to fund its Le Mans program.
By the end of the 2018 year, apart from Glickenhaus, no other manufacturer had committed to the new regulations, with concerns being raised by several manufacturers about the tight timelines involved, which would leave manufacturers intending to commit from the first season of competition with less than two years to design and build new cars, upon gaining company board approval.
On October 21 2018, McLaren announced that it would not participate in the first year of the category due to the tight timelines involved, and the relatively fluid state of the regulations at the point in time.
It was also decided that a minimum of 25 road cars fitted with the combustion engine and energy recovery system (ERS) of the racing car would have to be produced by the end of a manufacturer’s first season, with that amount rising to 100 by the end of its second season.
The regulations called for a total maximum power output of roughly 950 horsepower (708 kW) drawn from the combustion and electric hybrid system, lower than the initial figure presented in June, with the maximum output of the combustion engine now at 508 kW rather than 520, although the 200 kW electric unit power output remains the same.
In addition, Diesel power would be banned, with a 3 million Euro ($3.4 million US) cost cap on the supply of ERS systems from manufacturers to customer teams was announced, while it was also announced that an ERS manufacturer would be prohibited from supplying a system to more than three competitors, without the formal approval of the FIA.
The minimum weight of the new-generation cars will be raised from the initially-stated 980 kg to 1040 kg, with the maximum length being 5000mm, while maximum cockpit width would also increase to 2000mm.
On March 7 2019, it was announced that the FIA World Endurance Championship would adjust its criteria for the new prototype regulations, with manufacturers now being permitted to enter race cars based from road-going hypercars.
This was done, after several manufacturers expressed interest in a closer alignment between their production and race activities, citing both budgetary, and platform availability concerns.
Subsequently, the target lap time of the new cars was increased from 3:20 to 3:30, while movable aerodynamic devices, which was originally planned to be allowed under the new regulation set was removed, due to cost concerns.
The frontal surface area of the car may not be below 1.6 m², while as viewed from above, from the side, and from the front the bodywork must not allow mechanical components to be seen, unless explicitly authorised by the present regulations, or if respecting the original car design.
For Production based engines, the cylinder block and head castings must come from the base engine, and the crankshaft may only be a maximum of 10% lighter, while valve angles, number and location of camshafts must also remain original, as they are fitted on the original engine.

After the expedition the ship was sold to Germany as a training ship, first owned and operated by Deutsche Schulschiff-Verein and 1973 by the German Clipper association.
It was designed according to his instructions, which were based on his experience with fishing from schooners in the waters off Alaska.
Lauritzen at the time had seven ships occupied with shipping ore from the newly opened lead and zinc mine in Mestersvig.
The ship was trapped by the ice for the entire summer and forced to overwinter with only three crew members on board.
After the return to Copenhagen Lauritzen offered the ship at the disposal of University of Copenhagen for an expedition to the tropical western Pacific Ocean.
The goal of the expedition was the western Pacific Ocean, more specifically the many islands in the Solomon Sea and Bismarck Sea.
In October 1961 the expedition suffered a loss on Tawitawi, as the ornithologist and taxidermist Erik Petersen died from an allergic reaction to an insect bite.
This caused concern among the remaining participants of the expedition and several members announced that they would leave, unless the expedition was joined by a medical doctor.
Lorenz Ferdinand was chosen — not only was he a medical doctor with experience from the Galathea expedition, but also a highly esteemed ornithologist.
In 2000 it was bought by Verein Clipper, which continues to operate the ship as training ship for young people on cruises mainly in the Baltic Sea.

Transmission is due to bees taking care of larvae, other bees entering the colony to steal, bees entering the wrong nest through a source of flowers, or through beekeepers' activities (changing bridges, importing herds, etc).
Bailey in 1981 claimed that the liquid in a killed larva containing 1 mg of virus can infect all worker larvae of 1,000 healthy bees.
At the pointed tip of the diseased larva protruding between the nest holes, the tip of the larvae tilts towards the abdomen.
The best preventative measures are hygiene of means, transporting tools and beekeeping tools when trading, importing, and transporting bees and products, as well as inspecting and interacting with bees; when importing the breeds, choose healthy, clean and clear herds.
Biological techniques such as replacing the sick lord with a royal cap or silk thread, confining the herd for 8-10 days, removing bridges so that the bees thicken the remaining bridges, feeding 5-6 nights in a row to transfer to a new and better source of flowers and isolation from other bee farms and merging the weakening herd.

This theorem can be used as a probabilistic test of primality, by checking for many random choices of formula_8 whether formula_11 If this fails to hold for several random formula_8, then it is very likely that the number formula_7 is composite.
The project Seventeen or Bust, searching for Proth primes with a certain formula_22 to prove that 78557 is the smallest Sierpinski number (Sierpinski problem), has found 11 large Proth primes by 2007, of which 5 are megaprimes.
As Proth primes have simple binary representations, they have also been used in fast modular reduction without the need for pre-computation, for example by Microsoft.
Having more than four decades of experience in photography, Sanders is one of the most renowned and respected Muslim photographers in the world.

The Anglophone Crisis (French: Crise anglophone), is a conflict in the Southern Cameroons region of Cameroon, part of the long-standing Anglophone problem pitting English-speakers against French-speakers; English-speakers make up about one-fifth of the population.
In September 2017, separatists in the Anglophone territories of Northwest Region and Southwest Region declared the independence of Ambazonia and began fighting against the Government of Cameroon.
As of the summer of 2019, the government controls the major cities and parts of the countryside, while the separatists hold parts of the countryside and regularly appear in the major cities.
Although 2019 has seen the first known instance of dialogue between Cameroon and the separatists, as well as a major national dialogue, the war continues to escalate.

On January 16, 2012, several insurgent groups began fighting a campaign against the Malian government for independence or greater autonomy for northern Mali, an area of northern Mali they called Azawad.
The National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA), an organization fighting to make this area of Mali an independent homeland for the Tuareg people, had taken control of the region by April 2012.
After the Malian military was driven from northern Mali, Ansar Dine and a number of smaller Islamist groups began imposing strict Sharia law, and the Tuareg group broke away from them.
French Armed Forces and members of the African Union helped the government regain control of the area, and a peace agreement was signed in February 2015.

Piracy in the Gulf of Guinea affects a number of countries in West Africa, including Benin, Togo, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo as well as the wider international community.
In 2012, the International Maritime Bureau and other agencies reported that the number of vessels attacks by West African pirates had reached a world high, with 966 seafarers attacked and five killed during the year.
Piracy off the coast of Somalia occurs in the Gulf of Aden, Guardafui Channel, Somali Sea, in Somali territorial waters and other areas.
It was initially a threat to international fishing vessels, expanding to international shipping since the second phase of the Somali Civil War, around 2000.
By December 2013, the US Office of Naval Intelligence reported that only nine vessels had been attacked during the year by the pirates, with no successful hijackings.
In March 2017, it was reported that pirates had seized an oil tanker that had set sail from Djibouti and was headed to Mogadishu.
The ship and its crew were released with no ransom given after the pirate crew learned that the ship had been hired by Somali businessmen.
The most prominent terrorist groups that are creating a terror impact in Africa include Boko Haram of Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, and Niger, and Al-Shabaab of Somalia.
One of the better-known examples of Boko Haram’s terror tactics was the 2014 Chibok schoolgirls kidnapping of 276 schoolgirls in Borno State, Nigeria.
Somalia’s al-Shabaab and its Islamic extremism can be traced back to the mid-1970s when the group began as an underground movement opposing the repressive and corrupt regime of Siad Barre.
Armed conflict between al-Shabaab and the Somali army — including associated human rights violations — has resulted in slightly over 68 million human displacements.
Among their best-known attacks are the Westgate shopping mall attack in Nairobi, Kenya, in September 2013 (resulting in 71 deaths and 200 injured) and the 14 October 2017 Mogadishu bombings that killed 587 and injured 316.
On September 1, 2014, a U.S. drone strike carried out as part of the broader mission killed al-Shabaab leader Ahmed Abdi Godane.
The Insurgency in the Maghreb refers to Islamist militant and terrorist activity in northern Africa since 2002, including Algeria, Mauritania, Tunisia, Morocco, Niger, Mali, Ivory Coast, Libya, Western Sahara, and Burkina Faso, as well as having ties to Boko Haram in Nigeria.

Xi Jinping succeeded Hu Jintao as General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and became the paramount leader of China in November 2012.
In foreign policy, China became more aggressive with its actions in the South China Sea dispute, by building artificial islands and militarizing existing reefs, beginning in 2012.
Another key part of its foreign policy has been the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a strategy adopted by China involving infrastructure development and investments in countries and organizations in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas.
China has signed cooperational documents on the belt and road initiative with 126 countries and 29 international organisations, where various efforts then went ahead on infrastructure.
The 2019 Hong Kong protests, also known as the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill (Anti-ELAB) movement, is an ongoing series of demonstrations in Hong Kong triggered by the introduction of the Fugitive Offenders amendment bill by the Hong Kong government.

Taking advantage of the UPA's growing unpopularity, The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) led by former Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi swept the polls in the 2014 general elections.
Riding high on the wave of nationalism in the wake of attacks claimed by Indian authorities to have been orchestrated by Pakistan the Modi government relied heavily on anti-Pakistan rhetoric in successive elections.
In 2016, a hard line Hindu monk associated with the BJP was elected chief minister of India's largest state who in turn pursued a policy of changing names of places with Muslim names to Hindu ones.
The Indian government, during this time also massively increased its defense budget and enhanced defense ties with the United States and Israel.
Critics of the Modi government continued to level criticism at him for polarizing minorities, especially Muslims and changing the fabric of the Indian state by relentlessly pursuing the Hindutva ideology.
In its second term in power, the BJP led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) became even more ideological in its pursuit of the Hindutva agenda.
On August 5, 2019, the newly elected Indian government under a presidential order revoked Article 370 of the Indian constitution, thereby terminating the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and placed it under curfew.

The 2019 Iranian protests are a series of civil protests occurring in multiple cities across Iran, initially from the 200% increase in fuel prices but later extended to an outcry against the current government in Iran and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
The protests commenced in the evening of 15 November and within hours spread to 21 cities as videos of the protest began to circulate online.
The Iranian government employed lethal tactics in order to shut down the protests including a nationwide internet shutdown, shooting protesters dead from rooftops, helicopters, and at close range with machine gun fire.
The government crack down prompted a violent reaction from protesters who destroyed 731 government banks including Iran's central bank, nine Islamic religious centers, tore down anti-American billboards, and posters and statues of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
This series of protests have been categorized as the most violent and severe since the rise of Iran's Islamic Republic in 1979.
In order to block the sharing of information regarding the protests and the deaths of hundreds of protesters on social media platforms, the government blocked the Internet nationwide, resulting in a near-total internet blackout of around six days.
The 2019 Iraqi protests, also nicknamed the Tishreen Revolution and 2019 Iraqi Intifada, are an ongoing series of protests that consisted of demonstrations, marches, sit-ins and civil disobedience.
They started on 1October 2019, a date which was set by civil activists on social media, spreading over the central and southern provinces of Iraq, to protest 16 years of corruption, unemployment and inefficient public services, before they escalated into calls to overthrow the administration and to stop Iranian intervention in Iraq.
According to the BBC, they call for the end of the political system which has existed since the US-led invasion ousted Saddam Hussein and has been marked by sectarian divides.

The 2019 Turkish offensive into north-eastern Syria is a cross-border military operation conducted by the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) and the Syrian National Army (SNA) against the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and later the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in northeastern Syria.
On 6 October 2019, the Trump administration ordered American troops to withdraw from northeastern Syria, where the United States had been supporting its Kurdish allies.
The conflict resulted in the displacement of over 300,000 people and has caused the death of more than 70 civilians in Syria and 20 civilians in Turkey.
The Syrian government initially criticized the Kurdish forces for the Turkish offensive, for their separatism and not reconciling with the government, while at the same time also condemning the foreign invasion in Syrian territory.
However, a few days later, the SDF reached an agreement with the Syrian government, in which it would allow the Syrian Army to enter the SDF-held towns of Manbij and Kobanî in an attempt to defend the towns from the Turkish offensive.
On 22 October 2019, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan reached a deal to extend the ceasefire by 150 additional hours for SDF to move 30 kilometers away from the border area as well as from Tal Rifaat and Manbij.
The terms of the deal also included joint Russian–Turkish patrols 10 kilometers into Syria from the border except in the city of Qamishli.
As announced by Russia's Ministry of Defense on 15 October, Russian forces have started to patrol the region along the line of contact between Turkish and Syrian forces, indicating that Russia is filling the security vacuum from the sudden US withdrawal.
Alexander Lavrentiev, Russia's special envoy on Syria, warned that the Turkish offensive into Syria is unacceptable and stated that Russia is seeking to prevent conflict between Turkish and Syrian troops.
Ten European nations and Canada imposed an arms embargo on Turkey, while the U.S. imposed sanctions on Turkish ministries and senior government officials in response to the offensive in Syria.
Additionally, Syrian Kurdish officials have had some positive discussions with the Assad government, and with local countries such as Saudi Arabia, UAE and Jordan.
The first agreement between SDF and the Assad regime occurred in October 2019, directly as a result of the Turkish incursion.
This led to extensive purges within the Turkish state in an effort to remove anti-Erdogan elements, claimed by the government to be connected to the preacher Fethullah Gülen and his Gülen movement.
The Saudi-led intervention in Yemen, is an intervention launched by Saudi Arabia in 2015, leading a coalition of nine countries from West Asia and Africa, in response to calls from the internationally recognized pro-Saudi president of Yemen Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi for military support after he was ousted by the Houthi movement due to economic and political grievances, and fled to Saudi Arabia.
The intervention initially consisted of a bombing campaign on Houthi rebels and later saw a naval blockade and the deployment of ground forces into Yemen.
The Saudi-led coalition has attacked the positions of the Houthi militia, and loyalists of the former President of Yemen, Ali Abdullah Saleh, allegedly supported by Iran (see Iran–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict).
Fighter jets and ground forces from Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Sudan, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Academi (formerly Blackwater) took part in the operation.
The US and Britain have deployed their military personnel in the command and control centre responsible for Saudi-led air strikes on Yemen, having access to lists of targets.
The US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Michael Mulroy stated that US support was limited to side-by-side coaching to mitigate civilian casualties and if the measure had passed it would do nothing to help the people of Yemen and may only increase civilian deaths.
Mulroy supported the United Nation's peace talks and he pushed the international community to come together and chart a comprehensive way ahead for Yemen.

Felipe Calderón Hinojosa became the 56th president of Mexico (and the second from the conservative National Action Party) after a controversial election in 2006.
Mexico was not hit nearly as hard as the United States, and immigration to the United States greatly declined during the last few years of Calderon’s presidency.
Mexico became the country with the eleventh-largest GDP in the world, the seventh-largest automobile manufacturer, the eighth-largest oil exporter, and a major manufacturer of electronics.
Calderon’s drug war, which cost 47,000 lives during the last two years of his presidency (the balance), became the most important issue during the 2012 Mexican general election.
The election was won by the former Governor of the State of Mexico Enrique Peña Nieto of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, the political party that had dominated Mexican politics during most of the 20th century.
Peña Nieto encouraged foreign investment, particularly in the automotive industry, and for the first time since President Lazaro Cardenas nationalized the oil industry in 1938, in the energy industry.
President Peña was elected with by a slim plurality in 2012 with just under 39% of the vote, but by the time he left office in 2018 he had an 18% approval and a 77% disapproval rating, making him one of the least popular presidents in Mexican history.
Even before his inauguration in December 2018, Lopez Obrador held a referendum on canceling construction of the USD $13 billion airport in Texcoco, State of Mexico and instead building one at the Santa Lucia Air Force base in Zumpango, State of Mexico.

The most important action of Obama's first 100 days was the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to address the Great Recession.
Originally intended to be a bipartisan bill, Congressional passage of the bill relied largely on Democratic votes, though three Republican Senators did vote for it.
The lack of Republican support for the bill, and the inability of Democrats to win that support, foreshadowed the gridlock and partisanship that continued throughout Obama's presidency.
Risky practices among the major financial institutions on Wall Street were widely seen as contributing to the subprime mortgage crisis, the financial crisis of 2007–08, and the subsequent Great Recession, so Obama made Wall Street reform a priority in his first term.
On July 21, 2010, Obama signed the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the largest financial regulatory overhaul since the New Deal.
The act increased regulation and reporting requirements on derivatives (particularly credit default swaps), and took steps to limit systemic risks to the US economy with policies such as higher capital requirements, the creation of the Orderly Liquidation Authority to help wind down large, failing financial institutions, and the creation of the Financial Stability Oversight Council to monitor systemic risks.
Some liberals were disappointed that the law did not break up the country's largest banks or reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act, while many conservatives criticized the bill as a government overreach that could make the country less competitive.
Under the bill, the Federal Reserve and other regulatory agencies were required to propose and implement several new regulatory rules, and battles over these rules continued throughout Obama's presidency.
Obama called for further Wall Street reform after the passage of Dodd-Frank, saying that banks should have a smaller role in the economy and less incentive to make risky trades.
The federal government prohibited the utilization of Huawei equipment for 5G networks due security concerns, and encouraged its allies to also do so as well.

Donald Trump was elected the president in 2016, losing the popular vote to Hillary Clinton, but winning through the electoral college.
In October, three full Congressional committees (Intelligence, Oversight, and Foreign Affairs) deposed witnesses including Ukraine ambassador Bill Taylor, Laura Cooper (the top Pentagon official overseeing Ukraine-related U.S. policy), former White House official Fiona Hill,and at least six additional White House officials.
Witnesses testified that Trump wanted Zelensky to publicly announce investigations into the Bidens and Burisma and that Ukraine was pressured to release evidence that its government had interfered in the 2016 U.S. election.
On October 8, in a letter from Counsel Pat Cipollone to Speaker Pelosi, the White House officially responded that it would not cooperate with the investigation due to concerns including that there had not yet been a vote of the full House and that interviews of witnesses were being conducted behind closed doors.

Starting on 21 October 2019, protests and marches have been occurring in Bolivia in response to claims of electoral fraud in the 2019 general election of 20 October 2019 and, subsequently, to Jeanine Áñez declaring herself the acting president of Bolivia.
The claims of fraud were made after the suspension of the preliminary vote count, in which incumbent Evo Morales was not leading by a large enough margin (10%) to avoid a runoff, and the subsequent publication of the official count, in which Morales won by over 10%.
Morales denied the allegations and invited foreign governments to audit the electoral processes, promising to hold a runoff if any fraud was found.
Subsequently, an audit team from the Organization of American States, with access provided by Bolivian authorities, worked to verify the integrity and reliability of the results.
Morales announced the government would hold another election; however, the police and army demanded Morales's resignation on 10 November, which he offered shortly thereafter.
Following his resignation and the resignation of other senior MAS politicians, some citing fears for the safety of their families, Jeanine Áñez declared herself interim president and formed an interim government.
The 2019 Chilean protests are ongoing civil protests throughout Chile in response to a raise in the Santiago Metro's subway fare, the increased cost of living, privatisation and inequality prevalent in the country.

A crisis concerning who is the legitimate President of Venezuela has been underway since 10 January 2019, with the nation and the world divided in support for Nicolás Maduro or Juan Guaidó.
Internationally, support has followed traditional geopolitical lines, with allies China, Cuba, Iran, Russia, Syria, and Turkey supporting Maduro; and the US, Canada, and most of Western Europe supporting Guaidó as acting President.
As of late 2019, efforts led by Guaidó to create a transitional government have been described as unsuccessful by various analysts and media networks, with Maduro still controlling Venezuela's state functions.

Born in Fürth, Carl completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter, and joined both the Social Democratic Party and the Building and Construction Union (IG BSE).
With the encouragement of the union, he studied at the Dortmund Social Academy, and then became the union's full-time managing director for the Regensburg district.
In 1961, Carl was elected as chair of the union's Bavarian region, and in 1968 he was elected to the union's national executive taking the lead on human resources and legal matters.
Under his leadership, the union achieved a national standardisation of construction workers' wages, and the implementation of an early retirement scheme.
He also introduced the first ecological intitatives, and oversaw the integration of the East German Building, Construction and Wood Union into IG BSE.
In 1985, he was elected as president of the International Federation of Building and Wood Workers, the first German to hold the role.
He previously held the position of Chief Directorate of Strategic Planning for the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Republic of Korea and served as commander of the South Korean 1st Fleet..
The seventh most senior daughter of the second Qajar ruler of Iran, Fath-ʿAli Shah, she served as private secretary to her father.
From a Jewish family from Mazandaran, she was first married to Agha Muhammad Khan, uncle of Fath-ʿAli Shah and first of the Qajar rulers.
Ziaʾ al-Saltaneh had four full brothers, Mahmud Mirza, Homayun Mirza, Ahmad-ʿAli Mirza, and Jahanshah Mirza, and one full sister, Sultan Begum.
For example, it is reported that when the Shah wanted to bestow a gift upon one of his harem, Ziaʾ al-Saltaneh would write to the Khazen al-Dowleh (State Treasurer), then Golbadan Baji, one of the wives of Fath-ʿAli, to report the gift, so that it could be properly recorded in the documentation of the treasury.
For example, she was responsible for controlling the gambling funds of the princes - she would give them sums which they would have to pay back with interest.
In addition to these responsibilities, as her father's favourite, she would organise his birthday celebrations, and every year on the occasion Fath-ʿAli would gift her a set of jewels.
She was a highly skilled calligrapher, and produced a number of copies of the Qur'an, as well as other works such as collections of poetry, prayers, and pilgrimage texts.
She also seems to have been a patron of poetry, as the poet Rashha (b. circa 1783) composed poems in her praise.
It is clear that her brothers and other members of the court were aware of her influence with the Shah, and she would often be called upon to intercede for other members of the court.
During the reign of Muhammad Shah, she continued some of her duties associated with the fiscal running of the court, and was one of the few relatives of the new Shah allowed to sit in his presence.
As well as reciting the poetry of others, writing down that composed by her father, and acting as a patron, Ziaʾ al-Saltaneh also composed her own verses.
Her poetry was recorded by her brother Mahmud Mirza in his anthology of women poets, compiled in 1825, at the behest of Ziaʾ al-Saltaneh herself.
This was said to have been a plot formed with Ḥaji Mirza ʿAbbas Aqasi to ruin Mirza ʿAbbas Nuri financially, but it has been noted that there is not sufficient evidence to support this claim.
While there she corresponded with a number of clerics, including Aqa Seyyed Mehdi, the son of Aqa Seyyed ʿAli Tabatabai, and Shaykh Muhammad Husayn Saheb-e Fosul, with proposals of marriage, but she was refused a number of times.
At the age of 37, in 1835, Muhammad Shah insisted, on pain of execution, that she agree to marry Mirza Masʿud (1790-1848), then Minister of Foreign Affairs.
She was buried in one of the rooms of her house there, which is now incorporated into the shrine of Imam Husayn.

There Was a Light: The Cosmic History of Chris Bell and the Rise of Big Star is a book by Rich Tupica, a Michigan-based journalist.
It chronicles the life of the late Chris Bell and his band, Big Star, from his childhood in 1950s Memphis through his posthumous releases of 2017 and 2018.
The 400-page book details the life of Chris Bell, best known as the founder of Big Star, the legendary and influential power pop band.

Processes and materials are used both as carriers of meaning and narrations and in the form of materials, and ultimately become agents in art.
Essential aspects are the interplay of linguistic, visual and molecular-processual elements, the detection of latent links between facts and fictions as well as the entanglement between art and science.
At the border between nature, art and science, Feuerstein's works set in motion pataphysical cycles of the production of meaning and possibilities.
In contrast to historical pataphysics, machines, apparatuses and scientific methods are not only attributed metaphorical and symbolic meanings, but used for real processes.
Examples of this are metabolic processes in which artistic materials are produced, altered or digested in the form of objects and sculptures.
References to aspects of entropy in Robert Smithson's work or to Robert Morris' form and anti-form can be found in works with biofilms, slime, fungi, and myxomycetes.

Instead of letting Benny Gantz attempt to form a coalition of his own, the majority of the Knesset dissolved itself and a snap election was held on 17 September 2019.
The threat was deemed unacceptable by the opposition and the general public, and the prime minister called on Gantz to form a national unity government, even offering to cede the top job sometime in the future.
Gantz rejected this offer , noting Netanyahu's proposed unity government would include all of Netanyahu's right-wing allies but none of Gantz's centre-left allies.
Gantz has also refused to sit with Likud so long as Netanyahu is its leader, due to the criminal cases against Netanyahu.
After Netanyahu decided against holding a leadership election, Sa'ar confirmed he would run in the next election and would support Netanyahu until then.
As a result of the indictment, many in the Likud began to support Gideon Sa'ar in his bid for the chairmanship of the Likud.

The first is to create a universal state retirement plan, which would replace the 42 individual retirement plans that exist in France.
The 2019 French pension reform plan follows the prior pension reforms in 1993, 2003, 2010, and 2013 - but is far more comprehensive in that rather than adjusting the system.
In September 2017, Jean-Paul Delevoye was appointed as High Commissioner for Pension Reforms, and was ordered to review the pensions system.
In July 2019, he delivered a report of his recommendations, outlining the basics of a bill to be proposed to the National Assembly for pension reform.
He resigned on 16 December after the press revealed he forgot to disclose 13 volunteer activities including a remunerated one for the French Federation of Insurances.
After a month of protest, polling reported in Jan 2020 a 61% support in favour of the strikes in the French population.
The strikes, led in part by the CGT but also by the UNSA, the FSU and Solidaires unions, began prior to the disclosure of the details of President Emmanuel Macron's plan to merge France's current 42 different pension schemes into one state-managed system.
Unions say introducing a single system will mean millions of workers will end up working beyond the legal retirement age of 62 or receiving a far lower pension.
The mandatory impact study of the reform is to be released on 24 January with the submission of the project to the ministers.
Initially designed to create a unique pension funds system in France, following the protest of the unions, the project has introduced 8 special plans for policemen, aeroplane pilots and stewarts, train drivers, firemen, jailmen, truck drivers, fishermen and teachers.
Strikes began on 5 December as more than 30 unions launched strike actions with the intention to shut down the country and force President Emmanuel Macron to reevaluate his plans for pension reform.
While across the country the Interior Ministry said more than 800,000 people were protesting the CGT said the figure was 1.5 million.
While some schools reopened, almost all high-speed train services were cancelled, most of the Paris metro remained shut down, and hundreds of flights were cancelled.

During union demonstrations, the level of violence exhibited by the police, as already condemned by the United Nations during the yellow vests demonstrations, was extremely high with videos allegedly reporting a police officer firing point-blank at the protesters with a riot control gun on 9 January.
Jean-Paul Delevoye, the High Commissioner for Pension Reforms, was revealed to be funded by the French Federation of Insurances, which has a direct interest in the pension reform.
Moreover, being funded by a private company while being a member of the government is illegal according to the French constitution.
Articles have also pointed out the proximity between Emmanuel Macron and BlackRock, one of the world's largest asset management funds, which is interested in having the billions of euros of the French pension fund enter the financial market.
The promotion of the head of BlackRock's French branch, Jean-Francois Cirelli, to rank of officer of the Légion d'honneur also contributed to highlight this proximity.
According to the conservative newspaper Le Figaro, on 19 December 55% of French people found the movement against the pension reform justified.
Two weeks later, in what had become the longest French strike over the last 50 years, 61% still found the movement justified.

In Supply Chain Management, the Kraljic matrix (or Kraljic model) is a method used to segment the purchases or suppliers of a company by dividing them into four classes, based on the complexity (or risk) of the supply market (such as monopoly situations, barriers to entry, technological innovation) and the importance of the purchases or suppliers (determined by the impact that they have on the profitability of the company).
This subdivision allows the company to define the optimal purchasing strategies for each of the four types of purchases or suppliers.
It is named after Peter Kraljic, who first formalized it with an article published in the Harvard Business Review in 1983.

The Benin-Nigeria border is 809 km (503 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Niger in the north down to the Bight of Benin in the south.
The border starts in the north at the tripoint with Niger in the Niger River and then proceeds in a roughly south-to-southwesterly direction overland, before reaching the Okpara River just east of Waria.
The border then proceeds to the south, utilising the Okpara for circa 100 miles, various small streams, and several overland sections, before terminating at the Bight of Benin.
In 1851 a treaty of friendship was signed between France and the Kingdom of Dahomey in what is now southern Benin, followed by the creation of a protectorate in Porto Novo in 1863.
Meanwhile Britain had (via the Royal Niger Company) administered the area around Lagos since 1861 and the Oil River Protectorate (Calabar are the surrounding area) since 1884.
In 1900 the administration of these areas was transferred to the British government, with the Northern and Southern (including Lagos and Calabar) protectorates united as the colony of Nigeria in 1914.
A rough delimitation between the two territories as far north as the 9th parallel had been negotiated on 10 August 1889; this was further clarified in more detail via an agreement of 12 October 1896.
This border was confirmed by a treaty of 19 October 1906, with some minor changes made in 1912 following on-the-ground demarcation which were later finalised officially via an exchange of notes in 1914.
The section between the Atlantic and the Okpara river was marked on the ground by 142 concrete beacons, the boundary being formed by a straight line between them.
As the movement for decolonisation grew in the post-Second World War era, Britain and France gradually granted more political rights and representation for their African colonies.
Dahomey declared full independence on 1 August 1960, followed by Nigeria on 1 October 1960, and their mutual frontier became an international one between two states.
By 2004-05 many of the boundary markers from the original demarcation were missing, prompting Benin and Nigeria to re-demarcate some sections of the border.

The Sasol Global Touring Car Championship is a South African touring car series co-founded by Gary Formato and Vic Maharaj in 2016 and sactioned by MSA.
The series is divided of two classes, namely GTC (which runs silhouette racing cars) and GTC2 (which runs production racing cars).
Following the folding of the National Production Car Championship in late 2015, South Africa lacked a premier touring car racing series.
The Sasol GTC Championship (which had been in development for nearly four years), spearheaded by Vic Maharaj and Gary Formato, was given the green light by Motorsport South Africa in March 2015.
The new series was set to be attractive due to its lower costs (reportedly R200,000 less for a season than the NPCC).
All the cars would run identical six-speed Albins sequential gearboxes (identical to those used in the Supercars Championship), shock absorbers, suspension and brakes in order to aid cost-saving.
Originally slated to consist of four manufacturers (Audi, Ford, Nissan and Jaguar) fielding 12 cars between them, there were only 10 cars fielded in the inaugural race at Zwartkops Raceway.
With Nissan and Jaguar completely pulling out before the championship even began, the series attracted Volkswagen and BMW to also enter two and four cars respectively.
The inaugural season calendar consisted of seven rounds with two races each, except for the rounds at Killarney Race Track and Aldo Scribante, of which each had three races.
It kicked off at Zwartkops Raceway on the 9th of August, seeing South African racing veteran Michael Stephen take the series's first ever victory.
The season finale was staged at Prince George Circuit in East London, with Stephen being crowned the first Sasol GTC champion.
Each manufacturer also provides a turbocharged 2-litre petrol engine which produces a maximum of 436 bhp and 600 nm of torque.
Following a series of engine issues during the first round of the 2017 season, changes had to be introduced to lessen stress on the engines.
This included setting an RPM-limit of 7200, as well as decreasing the absolute boost pressure of the turbochargers to 2100 millibar.
The GTC2 class allows for production racing cars only, also with 2-litre turbocharged petrol engines, but instead capped to 281 bhp.
Each car is given one set of Dunlop slick tyres at the beginning of a season, and then two fresh tyres at each race.
On December 4, 2019, only less than two months after the October celebration of the International Day for Disaster Reduction (IDDR), heavy rains precipitated the deadly series of landslides that followed later that night into the next day, affecting over 500 people in Nyempundu, Gikomero and Rukombe of the northwestern provinces of Cibitoke, bordering Rwanda, and Bubanza as well as the northeastern province of Cankuzo.
At least 27 people have been killed and 10 left missing as of the December 11 human toll which is still expected to rise in the foreseeable future.
7 injured persons were admitted into Cibitoke referral hospital, 6 of whom have been discharged, and the seventh has been transferred to the Kigobe hospital, managed by Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders-Burundi (MSF-B).
Since January 2019, heavy rainfall has triggered flash floods, mudslides and landslides in various provinces, especially Bujumbura (Mairie and Rural), Cibitoke, Bubanza, Muyinga, Cankuzo, and Muramvya provinces.
Furthermore, these natural disasters have caused extensive damage to infrastructure, and hampered access to essential sources of food, water, education and healthcare.
There is also now an heightened risk of the spread of the zoonotic transmission of disease due to the resulting proliferation of mosquitoes.
As of September 2019, there are 103,412 Internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Burundi, of which roughly 79,600 or 77% are displaced due to natural disasters (including over 8,400 displaced since January 2019), mainly in the regions bordering Lake Tanganyika, and the north-western and central provinces, according to the International Organization for Migration's (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix.
According the European Union's European Civil-protection and Humanitarian-aid Operations (ECHO) the risk of natural disaster continue to increase day-by-day with the early onset of the Burundian September 2019 rainy season and above-average rainfall forecasted by the United States' National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (US NOAA).
The US Agency for International Development's (USAID's) Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWSNET) has reported that the greater horn of Africa region received up to 300 per cent above average rainfall from October to mid-November 2019.
East Africa currently experiences unseasonably heavy rains caused by the higher-than-average temperatures of the Indian Ocean, potentially due to cyclical dipole weather phenomenons and global warming.
According to a Save the Children count based on United Nations and government figures, more than 1,200 deaths across East and Southern Africa have been caused by floods, landslides, and a cyclone this year.
In addition, the UN has found that floods have displaced nearly half a million people in southern Sudan, 200,000 in Ethiopia and at least 370,000 in Somalia this year.
In addition, soil erosion as a result of overgrazing and the expansion of agriculture into marginal lands, may have contributed to the Burundian susceptibility and vulnerability to devastating landslides.
The recently launched Global Humanitarian Overview (GHO) indicates that Natural disasters pose substantial risks to the approximately 80 per cent of Burundians depend on subsistence farming, and that 1.74 million people will be in need in 2020.
Since December 4, at least a dozen hills around Nyempundu, in Mugina commune in Cibitoke, have been collapsed by severely damaging landslides, precipitated by torrential rains.
An anonymous local Cibitoke provincial government official, reported to Reuters that victims were living on a hillside which gave way after the heavy rains of the day before.
In an official Twitter post, the Ministry of Public Security has confirmed that much property was damaged in the disaster at least 26 people have died and 10 are missing.
According to another ministry spokesperson, Pierre Nkurikiye, other provisional police reports indicate the deaths of at least some 38 people (three in Gikomero, 13 in Rukombe and 22 died in Nyempundu), though these reports are still provisional, and as of now, excavation and search-and-rescue (SAR) operations are still ongoing.
Over 80 houses, 6 brides and roads, and 9 water access points have been destroyed, and crops continue to be wiped out.
On December 5th, the provincial Cibitoke Governor Joseph Iteriteka addressed victims of the disaster, thanking everyone involved in the management of the disaster.
The international community's willingness to help the affected people was especially communicated in a December 6 meeting with the Government's Provincial Platform, led by the Governor's Counsellor in charge of social affairs.
The Government of Burundi's Civil Protection and Disaster Management Unit, the public provincial and communal administration, the Burundi Red Cross (BRC), the police, the army, the surrounding population, and the Cibitoke and Mugina Health Districts, have all deployed local emergency relief services.
The UNOCHA intersectoral team has concluded that the most pressing necessities in order of priority are: food and water, shelter and other non-food items (all sorts of NFI kits have been and are being distributed by IOM, World Vision, BRC, UNICEF, UNFPA and NGOs Help a Child, War Child Holland & Concern Worldwide), psychosocial support, and access between hills and villages.
Landslides washed away fields that were exploited by these populations, as well as their crops and food reserves, notably those by the Mubarazi river in Muramvya, and similarly much livestock.
Water points and sanitary facilities have been washed away and what remains of them is under considerable strain due to high demand.
The mission noted that physical access to schools in the Nyempundu area is hampered by landslides that have cut off some roads, and that many schoolchildren in general have lost their school materials.
On December 7, the National Platform for Disaster Management set up an Ad-hoc crisis management committee to manage the emergency headed by the Director of Humanitarian Action of the Ministry of Human Rights, Social Affairs and Gender.
This aid was deposited in the commune of Mugina, over 25 kilometres from the disaster site and to which the beneficiaries will have to travel to access.
As of now, no provision has been made for people with special needs, and the relocation site identified in the village of Rusagara, not far from the shopping centre of the municipality of Mugina, was rejected for the second time by the BRC.
A week after the landslide, the burial of the recovered bodies, arranged by the BRC in cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), took place on December 12 in the Nyamakarabo area, but issues are still faced in the lack of assistance to the efforts of the authorities in conducting SAR operations, the extraction of corpses, and the evacuation of the wounded to nearby hospitals.
In addition, access to the area remains hampered by landslides that have damaged the roads crossing the area and wooden bridges that remain cannot allow heavy machinery to pass through.
The rate of return of 2000 refugees per week planned by the Tanzanian and Burundian governments appear to have been strongly affected by the environmental situation.
In November 2019 only one of the three transit centres was functioning, allowing only 409 Burundian refugees to return, the lowest rate since January.
The Desert Locust Control Organization for Eastern Africa (the DLCO-EA which Burundi is not member to) noted the necessity for urgent and decisive action from all partners, as well as the resources to support large-scale ground surveys, aerial spraying services, provision of chemicals, information dissemination, and further capacity building for control operations.

Intel's venture capital arm Intel Capital recently invested in startup Lumiata which uses AI to identify at-risk patients and develop care options.
Artificial intelligence in healthcare is the use of complex algorithms and software to emulate human cognition in the analysis of complicated medical data.
What distinguishes AI technology from traditional technologies in health care is the ability to gain information, process it and give a well-defined output to the end-user.
AI algorithms behave differently from humans in two ways: (1) algorithms are literal: if you set a goal, the algorithm can't adjust itself and only understand what it has been told explicitly, (2) and algorithms are black boxes; algorithms can predict extremely precise, but not the cause or the why.
AI programs have been developed and applied to practices such as diagnosis processes, treatment protocol development, drug development, personalized medicine, and patient monitoring and care.
Medical institutions such as The Mayo Clinic, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and National Health Service, have developed AI algorithms for their departments.
Large technology companies such as IBM and Google, and startups such as Welltok and Ayasdi, have also developed AI algorithms for healthcare.
Additionally, hospitals are looking to AI solutions to support operational initiatives that increase cost saving, improve patient satisfaction, and satisfy their staffing and workforce needs.
Companies are developing predictive analytics solutions that help healthcare managers improve business operations through increasing utilization, decreasing patient boarding, reducing length of stay and optimizing staffing levels.
The ability to interpret imaging results with radiology may aid clinicians in detecting a minute change in an image that a clinician might accidentally miss.
A study at Stanford created an algorithm that could detect pneumonia at that specific site, in those patients involved, with a better average F1 metric (a statistical metric based on accuracy and recall), than the radiologists involved in that trial.
The emergence of AI technology in radiology is perceived as a threat by some specialists, as the technology can achieve improvements in certain statistical metrics in isolated cases, as opposed to specialists.
Recent advances have suggested the use of AI to describe and evaluate the outcome of maxillo-facial surgery or the assessment of cleft palate therapy in regard to facial attractiveness or age appearance.
In 2018, a paper published in the journal Annals of Oncology mentioned that skin cancer could be detected more accurately by an artificial intelligence system (which used a deep learning convolutional neural network) than by dermatologists.
On average, the human dermatologists accurately detected 86.6% of skin cancers from the images, compared to 95% for the CNN machine.
There are many diseases out there but there also many ways that AI has been used to efficiently and accurately diagnose them.
Some of the diseases that are the most notorious such as Diabetes, and Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) which are both in the top ten for causes of death worldwide have been the basis behind  a lot of the research/testing to help get an accurate diagnosis.
Due to such a high mortality rate being associated with these diseases there have been efforts to integrate various methods in helping get accurate diagnosis’.
An article by Jiang, et al (2017) demonstrated that there are multiple different types of AI techniques that have been used for a variety of different diseases.
From a review of multiple different papers within the timeframe of 2008-2017 observed within them which of the two techniques were better.
The ability to monitor patients using AI may allow for the communication of information to physicians if possible disease activity may have occurred.
A wearable device may allow for constant monitoring of a patient and also allow for the ability to notice changes that may be less distinguishable by humans.
EHR developers are now automating much of the process and even starting to use natural language processing (NLP) tools to improve this process.
One study conducted by the Centerstone research institute found that predictive modeling of EHR data has achieved 70–72% accuracy in predicting individualized treatment response at baseline.
Meaning using an AI tool that scans EHR data it can pretty accurately predict the course of disease in a person.
Drug-drug interactions pose a threat to those taking multiple medications simultaneously, and the danger increases with the number of medications being taken.
To address the difficulty of tracking all known or suspected drug-drug interactions, machine learning algorithms have been created to extract information on interacting drugs and their possible effects from medical literature.
Efforts were consolidated in 2013 in the DDIExtraction Challenge, in which a team of researchers at Carlos III University assembled a corpus of literature on drug-drug interactions to form a standardized test for such algorithms.
Competitors were tested on their ability to accurately determine, from the text, which drugs were shown to interact and what the characteristics of their interactions were.
Organizations such as the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) and the World Health Organization’s VigiBase allow doctors to submit reports of possible negative reactions to medications.

GUIDE-Seq (Genome-wide, Unbiased Identification of DSBs Enabled by Sequencing) is a molecular biology technique that allows for the unbiased in vitro detection of off-target genome editing events in DNA caused by CRISPR/Cas9 as well as other RNA-guided nucleases (RGN) in living cells.
Similar to LAM-PCR, it employs multiple PCRs to amplify regions of interest that contain a specific insert that preferentially integrates into double-stranded breaks.
As gene therapy is an emerging field, GUIDE-Seq has gained traction as a cheap method to detect the off-target effects of potential therapeutics without needing whole genome sequencing.
Conceived to work in concert with next-gen sequencing platforms such as Illumina dye sequencing, GUIDE-Seq relies on the integration of a blunt, double-stranded oligodeoxynucleotide (dsODN) that has been phosphothiorated on two of the phosphate linkages on the 5' end of both strands.
This means that along with the target and off-target sites that may exist as a result of the activity of a nuclease, the dsODN cassette will also integrate into any spurious sites in the genome that have a DSB.
This makes it critical to have a dsODN only condition that controls for errant and naturally occurring DSBs, and is required to use the GUIDE-seq bioinformatic pipeline.
After integration of the dsODN cassette, genomic DNA (gDNA) is extracted from the cell culture and sheared to 500bp fragments via sonication.
From here, DNA specifically containing the dsODN insert is amplified via two rounds of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that proceeds in a unidirectional manner starting from the primers that are complementary to the dsODN.
The final product is a panoply of amplicons, describing the DSB distribution, containing indices for sample differentiation, p5 and p7 Illumina flow-cell adapters, and the sequences flanking the dsODN cassette.
GUIDE-Seq is able to achieve detection of rare DSBs that occur with a 0.1% frequency, however this may be as a result of the limitations of next-generation sequencing platforms.
There have been cases of GUIDE-Seq not detecting any off-targets for certain guide RNAs, suggesting that some RGNs may have no associated off-targets.
GUIDE-Seq has been shown to miss some off-targets, when compared to the genome-wide sequencing DIGENOME-Seq method, due to the nature of its targeting.
Another caveat is that GUIDE-Seq has been observed to generate slightly different off-target sites depending on the cell line.This could be due to cell lines having different parental genetic origins, cell line specific mutations, or, in the case of some immortal cell lines such as K562s, having aneuploidy.

On the Greenes' wedding trip to Europe in 1909, they stayed with Ignacy Jan Paderewski in Switzerland and she studied with conductor Emil Paur.
He started playing the piano at the age of four, and showed such precocity that he was entered into the Kiev Conservatory when he was nine; but his professor there, Włodzimierz Puchalski, soon sent him to Moscow to study with Vasily Safonov at the Moscow Conservatory.
He made a brief trip to the United States, playing a concert in the Carnegie Hall, New York (having been recommended as a soloist by Alexander Scriabin).
Submitting to the new Communist regime, Isserlis was put work playing the piano for workers in factories and other institutions, often in harsh conditions.
In 1922 Isserlis was one of twelve musicians chosen by Lenin, who would be permitted to travel abroad as musical ambassadors for the newly-formed Soviet Union; none of the twelve returned to Russia.
Vienna had a very active musical scene, and he was able to build a career there as pianist, composer and teacher.
He was in touch with other Russian emigrés; Nathan Milstein and Josef Lhévinne are among those known to have visited him during this time.
Now in his fifties, he worked hard to rebuild his career as a pianist once more; he frequently featured on the BBC Third Programme, and he toured the country with the Wessex Philharmonic.
One exception is the Ballade in A minor for cello and piano; this was dedicated to Pablo Casals, who corresponded with the composer suggesting various changes.
A recording of his music, played by pianist Sam Haywood (joined by cellist Steven Isserlis for the Ballade in A minor), has been issued by Hyperion Records.
He is commemorated in Britain by the biennial award of the Julius Isserlis Scholarship by the Royal Philharmonic Society; the Scholarship was first awarded in 1980 following a bequest of Cecilia Helen Northcote.

Warren Leopold (February 15, 1920 – May 19, 1998) was an American architect, painter and craftsman who designed and built coastal homes in Cambria, California and throughout San Luis Obispo County, California and whose work is part of the organic school.
In the late 1960s as Leopold's attentions turned toward his increasing project workload, he suffered, according to his daughter Laurel, a mid-life crisis which lead to his marriage to Helen ending in divorce.
After enlisting in September 1940 for service in the US Army during World War II, he became the first officially designated US Army Combat artist, holding this role from 1940 to 1943.
During WWII, while stationed by the US Army in Alaska to head the North War Art Unit, he met writer Dashiell Hammett and together financed a whorehouse there.
Their friendship influenced Leopold's artistic philosophy, leading to a greater interest in the natural world and to a greater desire to lead a simplified life.
He retired from the Army in 1948 and subsequently moved to Big Sur in the hope of meeting Henry Miller, whose books he had read while stationed in Alaska.
While living in Big Sur, Leopold befriended modernist architect Rowan Maiden (1913-1957), who from 1939-1941 studied at Taliesin West under Frank Lloyd Wright, and who went on to design the landmark Nepenthe restaurant in the Organic tradition.
During 1947-1948, Leopold built his most notable structure, known as 'Crazy House', an artist's retreat located in Cambria that was conceived without right angles in its design.
In the early 1960s, he left Big Sur to relocate to Cambria where he created designs for over 100 clients in Cambria, and Carmel, and Big Sur.
He discontinued his work as an architect during the final 15 years of his life due to his dissatisfaction with the increasing complexity of local building regulations.

Adult female redbanded thrips live for about a month, during which time they lay up to fifty eggs which are produced by parthenogenesis.
Each egg is deposited into the underside of a leaf, and covered by a drop of fluid which hardens into a protective black disc.
The nymphal period lasts for about nine days and is followed by two non-feeding stages, a pre-pupal and a pupal stage.
The adults and nymphs insert their mouthparts into the epidermis of young leaves, killing the cells as they suck sap and causing leaf silvering or browning.

The movie had its world debut on March 12, 2016 at the South by Southwest Film Festival and stars Steve Zissis, a man who hires a ghost hunter (Mark Proksch) to rid his house of ghosts but finds that he instead wishes to rid himself of the hunter.
During a trip to their cabin in the woods so that the father Dan can work on his paintings, the Papadakis family experiences supernatural phenomenon that prompts them to seek out someone who can rid their house of ghosts.
The first person they hire, the laid back Joey, confirms that their house is haunted by two ghosts but tells them that there is no need to get rid of them, as the ghosts are benign and the phenomenon was only them trying to make contact.
Unhappy with this, Dan chooses to hire demonologist Os on the recommendation of his friend George, who claims that Os can effectively exorcise ghosts.
Dan chooses to remain in the cabin with Os, who proves to be a very eccentric person prone to over-imbibing and periodic rages fueled in part by his impending divorce.
Os tells Dan a story about how he caught gonorrhea from the Devil, who appeared to him as a beautiful woman, and Dan confesses that his paintings, which depict a black circle in the middle of a canvas, have no deep meaning to them despite the public claims stating otherwise.
Eventually Os's actions become too much and Dan deliberately lies that the remaining ghost left the home due to Os's actions.
Dan admits that he lied due to Os's strange actions and states that the two are not really friends, which hurts the other man.
Shortly thereafter Os comes to the conclusion that Dan accidentally opened up a portal to another realm, bringing over a demon that possessed Dan's son Jazz.
Os makes several attempts to exorcise Jazz using wind-up toys and cards featuring naked women, which bewilders Jazz, who claims that he is not possessed.
Upset that he is not making any headway, Os calls a priest for advice and is advised to kill the demon inside Jazz.
He chooses to do so by burying Jazz alive as he had several other items during the course of the film to supposedly rid them of their power.
Left alone in the cabin, Mary and Dan witness the supposedly captured ghost wander into the room and drop the handcuff key, implying that Os is not actually able to get rid of ghosts.

At their height, the dynasty held suzerainty over Kumaon and Imperial viceroyalty of Punjab, an area comparable to Germany, Denmark and Austria.
With their borders reaching the boundaries of Delhi the dynasty had almost complete control over the affairs of the Indian Emperors.
Their bravery tolerance and progressive rule would gain them even greater admiration and they would be called upon by the British for aid in the Anglo-French Wars.
The dynasty rose to prominence with the first Nawab of Rohilkhand, Nawab Ali Mohammad Khan and is a branch of one of India's most ancient dynasties, the influential Barha Dynasty best known for being de facto rulers of South Asia in the early 18th Century as well as being agnates of the 15th Century Emperors of India.
The dynasty descends in the male line from the fourth Rashidun Caliph, Ali, through his younger son Hussain who married Shahrbanu, herself a daughter of the Sassanian Emperor of Persia, Yazdegard III.
Due to Ali's status as an Adnanite, the dynasty can trace its ancestry to the Biblical Prophet Abraham through his eldest son Ishmael.
As a boy, the founder of the Rohilla Dynasty Ali Muhammad Khan, was adopted by the chief of the Barech Tribe, Sardar Daud Khan Rohilla.
In reference to the twelve townships that members of the dynasty had received as fiefs from Sultan Shibabdudin of Ghor when they first arrived in India.
The dynasty descends in the male line from the fourth Rashidun Caliph, Ali, through his younger son Hussain who married Shahrbanu, herself a daughter of the Sassanian Emperor of Persia, Yazdegard III.
The subsequent generations from which the dynasty descends took part in many rebellions against the authority of both the Umayyad Caliphate and the Abbasid Caliphate.
Subsequently, the dynasty were heavily persecuted by the Abbasid government, and eventually the founder of the Barha dynasty, Abul Farah Al Wasiti, fled from Madina to Wasit and from there he fled to the Ghaznavid Empire.
His four sons entered into the military service of Sultan Muhammad of Ghor and received twelve fiefdoms in Punjab, then a part of the Ghor Empire, as reward for their service.
Thus the dynasty became quickly established as Nobles of the Sword in ancient India, a status they held under several different empires.
When the Chief of the Barha, who was also the Diwan of the empire, was granted the fiefdom of Saharanpur due to his relation with the imperial family.
They also enjoyed particularly prominent positions under the reign of the Sur, eventually defecting during the last days in the reign of Sikander Sur of the Sur Empire, to the Emperor Akbar of the Mughal Empire in the course of the siege of Mankot .
The Barha dynasty maintains the unique status of having been the only dynasty to participate in all three Battles of Panipat, seminal battles which shaped Indian History.
In the Second Battle of Panipat they gained victory under Bairam Khan, and finally in the Third Battle Of Panipat, the sons of Nawab Ali Muhammad Khan Rohilla fought with Ahmed Shah Abidali against the Maratha.

Jacques Morgantini (21 February 1924 – 2 December 2019) and Marcelle Morgantini (' Chailleux, 7 April 1925 – 23 September 2007) were French record producers and promoters of American blues music.
He became a jazz fan after hearing his father's records, and while studying chemistry in Toulouse organized a conference on jazz music addressed by Hugues Panassié, the influential critic who was the president of the Hot Club de France.
Panassié invited Morgantini to become vice-president of the Hot Club, and in 1945 Morgantini set up the Hot Club de Pau.
He started developing a network of contacts in the U.S., which provided a basis for him to invite American jazz and blues performers to perform in France.
In 1951, with the support of the Hot Club of France, he invited Big Bill Broonzy to perform in the country.
He worked as a salesman for an electrical company, and met Marcelle Chailleux at a conference he organized in Pau to discuss blues music.
Marcelle, born in Sarthe, had been a fan of classical music but was drawn by the emotional power of the blues.
Through Jean-Marie Monastier, the owner of a record store in Bordeaux and later the founder of the Black & Blue record label, they invited further groups of blues musicians to play in France, including the Chicago Blues Festival tours managed by Monastier which featured such musicians as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, Memphis Slim and Koko Taylor .
Some of the musicians, including John Lee Hooker and Memphis Slim, were recorded by the Morgantinis, either in their studio at their home in Gan, or in live performance, and their albums were released by Black & Blue.
The Morgantinis became friends with many of the performers, notably Jimmy Dawkins and Fred Below, who told them that several leading blues performers in Chicago had never been recorded.
She set up her own label, MCM Records, the name deriving from her initials, and on two trips in 1975 recorded club performances by Willie Kent, Willie James Lyons, The Aces, Jimmy Johnson, Luther Johnson, and Bobby King.
In the work of Jimmy Dawkins, Magic Slim and Willie James Lyons, you can hear the seeds of blues-rock being sown.
He produced the Jazz Forever and Blues Forever series of CDs in the 1980s, before creating a series of compilation CDs for the EPM label and for Frémeaux & Associés as well as the Riverboat series of albums of jump blues musicians.
Jacques Morgantini continued to record blues musicians, organise concerts, work as a music critic, and present radio programmes of jazz and blues.

The drug is an anti-Clever-1 antibody which can convert immune suppressive type-2 tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) to immune active type-1 microphages and has the potential for wide use in oncology.
It is currently (2019) undergoing trials (codename MATINS) as an innovative treatment for metastatic or inoperable solid tumours such as cutaneous melanoma and hepatobiliary/hepatocellular, pancreatic, ovarian and colorectal cancers, all of which host a significant number of Clever-1-positive TAMs and represent some 2 million cases annually worldwide.
Following encouraging results of early European trials regarding the drugs tolerability and safety the MATINS programme is being extended to the USA.
Later trials will study the drug's efficacy in treating patients with high Clever-1 occurrence, who can be readily identified by liquid biopsy using a blood myeloid cell staining technique.
Alderbrook Resort & Spa, aka Alderbrook Inn or Alderbrook, is a hotel located in Union, WA on the southern shores of Hood Canal.
Alderbrook opened in 1913 as a group of tent cabins with wood stoves and has been expanded and remodeled numerous times.
Today the hotel offers 77 guest rooms and 16 cottages, as well as a restaurant, meeting rooms, salt water pool, spa, two marinas, and two retail spaces.
Alderbrook was originally built by Henry Stumer, a Seattle business owner who had previously owned the Hotel Stumer in Union City (now Union, WA).
Beginning in 1909, Stumer worked with friends from Seattle's Swedish Club to buy and develop beachfront property just east of Union City.
Stumer bought three of the resulting lots from what became known as the Sunny Beach tract and built tent cabins consisting of frames covered in black and orange striped canvas.
Alderbrook Center opened in 1941 featuring a soda fountain and sandwich shop, and in 1944 they opened the Flagwood gift shop, the Alderbrook Apparel Shop and Alderbrook Beauty Shop.
Clara Eastwood retained the western-most Sunny Beach lot where the Flagwood gift shop was located and built a cabin for herself.
Schafer remodeled the Inn and added 21 vacation cottages next to the property and then sold the Inn to the Dickman Lumber Company.
Johnson quickly released redevelopment plans which included the addition of an indoor swimming pool, marina, 18-hole golf course, and 70-room hotel.
In 1964, construction began on the first nine holes of the golf course on property up the hill from the Inn.
Johnson announced additional plans for residential development around the golf course and an airfield, as well as an office building across the highway from the Inn to house the administrative offices for this upland development and his new Hood Canal Real Estate Company.
By 1966 the floating dock, indoor swimming pool, and 9-hole golf course were completed, as well as the addition of 26 lanai guest rooms and 5 meeting rooms.
In 1966 Wes Johnson announced new plans for redeveloping the Alderbrook Inn which centered around demolishing the existing lodge and building a new high-rise hotel on pilings out over the water.
In 1968, following the permit application and a solicitation for public comment, Mason County commissioners responded with no objections; however, numerous comments from individuals expressing opposition to the project were submitted.
Among the complaints were concerns over increased pollution from the hotel itself and increased boat traffic, an undesirable increase in tourism, and primarily the encroachment of buildings and fill upon Hood Canal tidelands.
In a hearing before the Mason County commissioners in January 1969 a group of individuals calling themselves the Hood Canal Committee for Planning requested that the Mason County Board of Commissioners withdraw their approval of the project and request more time to decide.
The Hood Canal Committee made similar requests to several state agencies and to Governor Dan Evans asking that they reject the permit application.
They also circulated a petition asking Mason County to enact an emergency zoning ordinance to protect the shoreline until a comprehensive plan already in process outlining environmental protections could be approved.
In February 1969, the Army Corps of Engineers informed the Department of the Interior that they would approve the permit unless the Department issued a statement of opposition.
The rejection of the project from the Department of Interior required that the ultimate decision come from top Army Engineer officials in Washington, D.C.
They cited the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and Presidential Executive Order 11514 (Protection and Enhancement of Environmental Quality, dated March 5, 1970) as making it the responsibility of all Federal agencies to protect and preserve the environment.
In 1971, the Washington State Shoreline Management Act went into effect requiring all developments within 200 feet of the shore to have a special permit.
Wes Johnson was required to obtain one of these special permits and revised his plans for Alderbrook to make the new hotel shorter and move it back above the shoreline.
Wes Johnson listed the Alderbrook Inn and its related properties for sale in 1985, however he remained the owner until his death in 1991.
The 18-hole golf course was sold to the Alderbrook Golf and Yacht Club, the 450-member homeowners association for residences surrounding the course.
Renovation plans included demolition and construction of new buildings, remodeling the main lodge and 21 cottages, expanding the restaurant and bar, adding a spa, fitness center, and conference center, and moving the highway.
The new resort consisted of 77 guest rooms, 16 guest cottages, 6,600 sf of meeting space, a spa, an indoor pool and Jacuzzi, fitness center, restaurant, lounge, and marina.
In 2008 the Lady Alderbrook, a 53-foot cruise boat, was purchased and moored at the Alderbrook dock to provide guests with canal cruises and an alternate venue for special parties.
Local businesses were dependent on the resort to attract tourists, but its primary function as a Christian conference center attracted mostly youth groups and Christian retreats.
When the resort closed for renovation the unemployment rate in Mason County reached 7% and area gift shops went out of business.
When it reopened in 2004 the resort employed between 110 and 130 people, and restaurants and gift shops began to reopen and stay open year-round instead of closing for the winter.
In 2007, it was announced that North Forty Lodging had purchased the Hood Canal Marina 1 mile east of the resort and planned a total replacement of the moorage area, remodel of the building, addition of a new septic system, beachfront picnic spot, landscaped parking area, and most importantly the sale of gas and diesel for boats.
When the marina was developed in the 1960s there were several gas docks available and fishing and ski boats filled the waters of lower Hood Canal.
Hood Canal Marina was the last gas facility in the area when the tanks were removed in 1998 due to new environmental regulations.
For the next ten years the nearest fueling station for boats was an hour away at Pleasant Harbor Marina and fears of getting stranded prevented boaters from venturing to the lower end of the canal.
Galvanized steel pilings, sealed polyurethane floats, and composite decking replaced creosote logs and Styrofoam making the new dock more environmentally friendly.
An Alderbrook employee and Union native approached the resort with a vision for the space at the Hood Canal Marina: local farmers market/marina general store of the past; an avenue for local artists, crafts, and food to be in one place.
Many local artists, craftspeople, and businesses sell their wares through the Market, and the Market has been a venue for shows celebrating oysters, beer, art, and more.

In 637 or around 640, Bishop of Auxerre Saint Palladius founded a monastery dedicated to Saint Eusebius of Vercelli outside of the walls surrounding the city.
The monastery was often attacked, wrecked or even destroyed, so the monks left it and the monastery became a property of Auxerre Cathedral.
In 1090 or 1100, Bishop Humbaud increased the number of monks in the monastery and made the community regular by introducing canons from Saint-Laurent-lès-Cosne Abbey.
On June 12, 1384, Bishop of Auxerre consecrated the church, which had been used without consecration for more than a century.
The glass walls were remarked, notably the ones of the 1530 axial chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary as well as the ones of the ambulatory which show the story of saint Laurent, the secondary patron saint of the church.
New stained glass windows were installed in the church, but they were destroyed during the occupation of the city by the Protestants in 1567–8.
In 1634, the priory of Saint-Eusèbe was affiliated with the canons regular of Sainte-Geneviève of Paris, who repaired and embellished the church.
It is adjacent to a Romanesque bell tower of the 12th century similar to the one of the Abbey of Saint-Germain d'Auxerre.
The portal built in 1633 has two panels: the right panel shows Saint Eusebius, while the left panel shows Saint Laurent.

Captain Lawrence Dickson (1920-1944) from Bronx, New York, was World War II pilot and a member of the famed group of World War II-era African-Americans known as the Tuskegee Airmen.
Dickson flew 68 mission in World War II before he was forced to eject from his aircraft over Austria in 1944.
On December 23, 1944, Dickson was on his 68th mission piloting his aircraft as part of a mission to Praha, Czechoslovakia.
Dickson's two wingmen followed but they were forced to take evasive action when Dickson's plane sputtered and dove: Dickson's engine trouble was catastrophic and he was forced to eject over Hohenthurn, Austria.
One of Dickson's wingmen insisted that he saw Dickson eject but the December snowfall complicated the search for Dickson's white parachute.
After the war it was revealed that German records had reported that a P-51 plane crashed at that site the day that Dickson disappeared.
The researcher said he visited the site in the 1950s as a child, but had not discovered the remains until 2002.
An archeological crew was sent to the site in 2018 and they recovered bone fragments which matched Lawrence Dickson's daughter's DNA.
Dickson's mother did not live to attend the burial of her son: Phyllis died December 28, 2017, in Nevada at the age of 96.
Henry Hussey (27 August 1825 – 6 May 1903) was a pastor in the colonial days of South Australia, closely associated with the Christian Church on Bentham Street along with pastors Abbott, Finlayson and Playford.
Hussey was born in Wimborne, Dorsetshire or Kennington, London, the second son of George Edward Hussey of Poole, Dorset, who claimed Norman descent, and Catherine Hussey, née Burt.
Hussey was educated at a dame school in a house once occupied by the poet William Cowper, and was first employed as office boy for a firm of brewers.
He had plans to move his place of business to the newly developing Port Adelaide, but died in September of the following year.
He left Dehane and joined the staff of the General Post Office, delivering letters to the east side of the city, but after a few months returned again to the print shop.
This publication ceased in April 1852, at a time of recession brought about by the rush to the goldfields of Victoria.
In December 1853 his mother sold her premises on King William Street to F. H. Faulding for £1,000 and reopened on O'Connell Street, North Adelaide.
She apportioned her windfall gains to her children; Henry used his share to purchase further blocks of land: one on Victoria Square, one on Wellington Square, one at Goolwa, and one at Port Elliot.
In 1866 George Fife Angas, a wealthy pastoralist and member of Hussey's church, offered him a position as his private secretary, succeeding William Ramage Lawson, who had embarked on a career in journalism.
Although already a regular churchgoer, Hussey's interest in religion quickened around the time he started at Dehane's printery on Morphett Street and became involved with the nearby Trinity Church.
He was at Holy Trinity during the incumbency of Colonial Chaplain C. B. Howard and James Farrell, a pre-millenarian, who may have ignited his preoccupation with the Second Coming and Scriptural prophesies.
He was invited to a preliminary meeting held 8 February 1853 to start a local chapter of the Young Men's Christian Association (now YMCA) by Charles Henry Goode.
In April 1854 Hussey left the printing business in the hands of his partner, John Thomas Shawyer (1825–1895), and left on a trip to the United States, visiting Tahiti and Panama on the way.
On his return to South Australia after more than a year's absence, he lectured at the Bible Christian Church, whose views on baptism were similar to his own, at their chapel in Franklin Street (later known as Maughan Church).
A dispute arose in the church, and Hussey and others broke away, and for a time met in J. L. Young's schoolroom on Gawler Place.
The nature of the controversy is not known, but a common source of disagreement was the use of certain musical instruments in church: some arguing that only activities mentioned in Scripture were allowed, others that what is not forbidden may be permissible.
He was one of many Protestant leaders who decried the failure of the Marriage Bill before the House in December 1866, its failure being applauded by the Catholic hierarchy.
He once declared himself a candidate for public office (Encounter Bay in 1875) but dropped out after faring poorly at a public debate.
In January 1867, with the health of pastor Thomas Playford failing, Hussey accepted the position of his assistant at the Bentham Street Church.
In 1873, following the death of Playford, Hussey took over the pulpit, which he managed without financial reward until 27 January 1891, when he retired, although he did make a brief comeback in 1893 following some dissension in the congregation.
His remains were buried at West Terrace Cemetery, as were those of his wife Agnes and daughter Agnes Mary, alongside the grave of his father George Ernest and his wife Catharine (so spelled), and may be viewed here and here.
Authorised by the Angas family, it used information from Hussey's diary as well as Angas's papers, selected and passed to Hodder by Hussey.
George Edward Hussey (7 November 1792 – 8 September 1842), born in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, married Catherine Burt (c. 1793 – 8 June 1874) on 14 February 1821 in London.
Bakole made his professional debut on 25 March 2014, scoring a second-round technical knockout (TKO) victory over Cecil Smith at the Emperors Palace in Kempton Park, Gauteng, South Africa.
After compiling a record of 9–0 (6 KO), he faced undefeated Ali Baghouz (10–0–1) on 11 November 2017 at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh, with the vacant IBO Continental heavyweight title on the line.
He successfully defended the title in his next fight with a first-round TKO against DL Jones (8–1–1) on 23 June 2018 at The SSE Hydro in Glasgow.
He next fought former Olympian and cruiserweight world title challenger Michael Hunter (14–1) for the vacant IBO Inter-Continental heavyweight title on 13 October 2018 at the York Hall, London.
The first few rounds were evenly contested with Bakole walking his American opponent down while Hunter remained on the back foot, utilising movement and picking his moments to throw combinations.
Towards the end of the seventh, Bakole landed a powerful right hand that stunned Hunter, causing the former cruiserweight to hold in the clinch.
Hunter, now looking fatigued and suffering a cut to the right eye, had his mouth piece knocked out in the eighth by a clean right hand.
After injuring his right shoulder in the eighth, Bakole was reluctant to throw the right hand in the ninth, instead choosing to work behind the jab.
The end came in the tenth and final round; with Hunter landing powerful shots with more frequency, a left hook sent Bakole stumbling – not for the first time during the round – towards the corner.
After a barrage of unanswered punches, referee Phil Edwards waved off the fight with 41 seconds of the round remaining, handing Bakole the first defeat of his professional career.
Following his loss to Hunter, Bakole fought former heavyweight world title challenger Mariusz Wach (33–4) on 6 April 2019 at the Spodek Arena in Katowice, Poland, with the vacant Republic of Poland International heavyweight title up for grabs.
Towards the end of the fifth, Bakole landed several punches to his opponent's head, leaving Wach on unsteady legs as he walked back to his corner.
Bakole came back in the seventh to repeat his performance of previous rounds, putting together combinations and landing punches to the head of Wach.
The end came in the eighth when referee Robert Gortat waved off the fight after Wach was on the receiving end of a flurry of twelve unanswered punches.
Following a first-round TKO win over Ytalo Perea (11–4–2) in August, Bakole was scheduled to face Gabriel Enguema on 19 October 2019 at the Utilita Arena, Newcastle.
In what was a one-sided affair, Bakole won by fifth-round TKO in a scheduled eight-round bout after referee Ron Kearney waved off the fight following Johnson being on the receiving end of several unanswered punches, handing the durable veteran boxer the third stoppage defeat of his career.

Ivan Ivanovich Dolgikh (Russian: Иван Иванович Долгих) (13 July 1896-1956) was a Soviet police officer and an administrator in the gulag and one of the officials held responsible for the Nazino affair, an outbreak of cannibalism by starving prisoners.
Dolgikh was born in Barnaul, the son of a worker, his education ended when he was sent to do manual work in a workshop, at 11, only barely literate.
After his release, he returned to his old trade as a tin smith, but rejoined the Red Army for the final campaign of the civil war, against the army of Baron Wrangel in the Crimea.
He joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1920, and was recruited to the political police, or Ogpu, in Altai region in the same year.
In 1931, during the collectivisation of agriculture, when hundreds of thousands of peasants who classed as Kulaks, or who resisted being forced to join collective farms, were rounded up and deported to Siberia, Dolgikh was appointed head of the Western Siberia Department of Special Settlements, in charge of 300,000 deportees..
The area he controlled was divided into thirty administrative districts, the most northerly of which was Alexandro-Vakhovskaya, an area of about 50,000 square kms (19,000 square miles) straddling the Ob River, accessible only by riverboat from May to October.
Unable to cope with the numbers, the Ogpu deposited about 6,000 deportees on Nazino, an island on the Ob river, with inadequate food.
After a second commission had been sent in October to investigate the affair, Dolgikh received a 'severe reprimand', while other, more junior officers were arrested.
In 1935, he led an unprecedented mass climb up Belukha Mountain, the highest peak in Altai province, at 4,620m (15,157 feet).
In April 1939, Dolgikh was appointed head of Vyatlag, one the largest labour camps in the Gulag system, which held up to 20,000 prisoners.

Judge Dredd is a law enforcement and judicial officer in the dystopian future city of Mega-City One, which covers most of the east coast of North America.
In Great Britain, the character of Dredd and his name are sometimes invoked in discussions of police states, authoritarianism, and the rule of law.
Joseph Dredd is the most famous of the Street Judges that patrol Mega-City One, empowered to instantly convict, sentence, and sometimes execute offenders.
In an early story, Dredd is forced to remove his helmet and the other characters react as if he is disfigured, but his face was covered by a faux censorship sticker.
In prog 52, during Dredd's tenure on the Lunar Colonies, he uses a 'face-change' machine to impersonate the crooked lawyer of a gang of bank robbers.
Therefore Dredd was 38 when he first appeared, but is now years old, with years of active service (2079–2142), and for almost 30 years Dredd's age and fitness for duty were recurring plot points (in prog 1595 (2008), Dredd was diagnosed with benign cancer of the duodenum).
The Lawgiver is a self-loading handgun featuring manual and automatic focusing and targeting, plus a built in computer capable of controlling its operation.
Senior Judge Joseph Dredd and his brother Rico Dredd were cloned from the DNA of Chief Judge Fargo, the first Chief Judge, in 2066.
Their growth was artificially accelerated to an apparent physiological age of 5, with all the appropriate knowledge for their age electronically implanted in their brains during gestation.
As cadets during the Atomic Wars of 2070, they were temporarily made full judges to restore order to the panic-stricken streets.
On several occasions he saved his city from conquest or destruction by powerful enemies, and in 2114 he saved the entire world during the Fourth World War.
In 2116, he risked 20 years' imprisonment with hard labour when he challenged the policy of a chief judge; and in 2129, he threatened to resign to persuade another chief judge to change the city's harsh anti-mutant apartheid laws.
The polar bear falls in love with the seal, but the fearful seal constantly misinterprets his romantic advances as a strong desire to eat him.
The film was written and directed by Kazuya Ichikawa, with Yō Yamada in charge of sound direction and Scenario Art providing the theme song.

The next Castilian-Manchegan regional election will be held no later than Sunday, 28 May 2023, to elect the 11th Cortes of the Autonomous Community of Castilla–La Mancha.
The Cortes of Castilla–La Mancha are the devolved, unicameral legislature of the autonomous community of Castilla–La Mancha, having legislative power in regional matters as defined by the Spanish Constitution and the Castilian-Manchegan Statute of Autonomy, as well as the ability to vote confidence in or withdraw it from a President of the Junta of Communities.
Voting for the Cortes is on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprises all nationals over eighteen, registered in Castilla–La Mancha and in full enjoyment of their political rights.
The 33 members of the Cortes of Castilla–La Mancha are elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with a threshold of three percent of valid votes—which includes blank ballots—being applied in each constituency.
Seats are allocated to constituencies, corresponding to the provinces of Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Toledo, with each being allocated an initial minimum of three seats and the remaining 18 being distributed in proportion to their populations.
The previous election was held on 26 May 2019, setting the election date for the Cortes on Sunday, 28 May 2023.
Any snap election held as a result of these circumstances will not alter the period to the next ordinary election, with elected deputies merely serving out what remains of their four-year terms.
In the event of an investiture process failing to elect a regional President within a two-month period from the first ballot, the candidate from the party with the highest number of seats is to be deemed automatically elected.
The electoral law allows for parties and federations registered in the interior ministry, coalitions and groupings of electors to present lists of candidates.
Parties and federations intending to form a coalition ahead of an election are required to inform the relevant Electoral Commission within ten days of the election call, whereas groupings of electors need to secure the signature of at least one percent of the electorate in the constituencies for which they seek election, disallowing electors from signing for more than one list of candidates.
The table below lists voting intention estimates in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first and using the dates when the survey fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication.
The Mahshahr massacre () refers to the mass killing of protesters in the city of Mahshahr, Iran, which occurred between 16 November and 20 November 2019, during the 2019 Iranian protests.
Protests erupted across Iran on 15 November 2019, after the government announced a sudden gasoline price hike, spreading to more than 100 cities nationwide.
Internet inside the country was completely shutdown by the government on 16 November which made reporting on the details nearly impossible.
Security forces started the crackdown in Mahshahr on 16 November, and also attempted to suppress protests between 16 to 18 November in the suburbs of Sarbandar and Jarahi.
Initial reports from Mahshahr suggested that over 130 protesters had been killed by security forces in the three days of fighting.
On 17 December 2019, an official from the province of Khuzestan told reports at IranWire that a total of 148 protesters had lost their lives during five days of protests in Mahshahr.
On 18 January 2020, the U.S. State Department sanctioned Brigadier General Hassan Shahvarpour, as being responsible for the Massacre of Mahshahr.
It was caused by an incident at the finals of the 1972 world men's curling championship, the 1972 Air Canada Silver Broom in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

Connecticut Ice is an annual ice hockey event celebrating the tradition and progress of youth and amateur hockey in the state of Connecticut.
The 3-day event is headlined by a 4-team tournament with participation from all of the state's four Division I programs: Connecticut, Quinnipiac, Sacred Heart and Yale.
The 3-day event will include youth tournaments from various levels of junior ice hockey and organizers were quick to dispel any correlation with the long-established Beanpot Tournament held in Boston.
While organizers may be loathe to accept comparisons to other tournaments they would be, no doubt, thrilled if Connecticut Ice could establish itself on the same footing as other in-season championships.
Jim Hall/Red Mitchell is a live album by guitarist Jim Hall and bassist Red Mitchell recorded at Sweet Basil Jazz Club in 1978 and released by the Artists House label.
Born in England, he emigrated to the United States at the age of 13, and was taken under the care of two Catholic women in Philadelphia, which led to his conversion to Catholicism soon thereafter.
He entered the Society of Jesus in 1875, and studied theology at the University of Innsbruck in Austria, where he was ordained a priest.
Upon his return to the United States, he became a professor at Boston College, before being named President of Boston College in 1907.
As president, he initiated the college's relocation from the South End of Boston to a new campus in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts that he purchased.
His tenure came to an end in 1914, and he moved first to Maryland and then to Georgetown University, where he served as graduate dean for sociology for nine years.
He then briefly led to Manresa Institute on Staten Island, before being stationed at Loyola College in Montreal, where he died in 1930.
His ancestry on his father's side was French Huguenot, while that on his mother's side was a longtime family of Kent, which produced several rectors of St. Nicholas Church in Sevenoaks.
Though he had intended to live in Philadelphia with his older brother, he was taken under the care of two Catholic women.
They had him instructed in the Catholic faith, and in October 5, 1874, he was formally received into the Catholic Church at the Chapel of the Holy Family in Philadelphia (later known as the Church of the Gesú).
While preparing to be ordained a priest, he was sent to teach at St. Francis Xavier College in New York City.
The following year, he continued his theological studies, and also served as chaplain at a charitable institution in the city of Innsbruck.
He taught poetry to students in Frederick, Maryland for two years, before beginning his study of ascetical theology for one year.
Just two months after his inauguration, he suggested to the Jesuit provincial superior that Boston College might inquire into purchasing a tract of land, including the farm of Amos Adams Lawrence, on Commonwealth Avenue near the Brighton neighborhood of Boston and relocate the school from the South End.
In furtherance of this goal, he announced to alumni in May 1907 that he aimed to relocate the college and construct a new campus; this would require $10 million.
On November 11, 1907, the Boston College board of trustees settled on a specific parcel of land in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, and voted to purchase it.
Construction of the building was slow and inhibited by lack of funds; as a result, Gasson sold a portion of the land previously purchased, to finance the building.
After several months, he was transferred to Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., where he worked various jobs, including serving as the graduate dean of sociology from 1914 to 1923.
In the summer of 1920, he was sent to Rome to represent the Jesuit Maryland-New York Province at the provincial congregation.
He then briefly returned to Georgetown before becoming the rector of the Manresa Institute, a Jesuit retreat house on Staten Island in New York City.
Pouya Bakhtiari () was an Iranian protester who was shot and killed on 16 November 2019 in Karaj during the 2019 Iranian protests.
Manuchehr Bakhtiari, Pouya's father, who served for five years in the Iran–Iraq War announced that his son had died on 16 November 2019 in Mehrshahr due to a gunshot wound to the skull.
According to him, Pouya was accompanied by his mother on the second day of the 2019 Iranian protests in Mehrshahr and was pronounced dead before he reached the hospital.
On the day of his death, Pouya Bakhtiari recorded a series of videos on his phone from protests during the day and continuing in to the night which were widely circulated after his death.
After the original release of the video by BBC Persian, the entire video was released by Masih Alinejad, which made apparent that that the BBC had censored part of the original video.
It is situated in Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park, north of Pemberton, and south of Mount Gandalf, which is its nearest higher peak.
The names for nearby Mount Aragorn, Mount Gandalf, and Mount Shadowfax were taken from fictional characters in his books, which were read while waiting out stormy weather during the 1972 first ascents of those mountains.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.
Ripps is most known for the textural density, heavy layering of materials, and heightened canvases in his work, often produced with high volumes of oil paint and incorporation of artificial leaves and metals, among other materials.
Ripps was also mentioned in Warhol's journals and appeared as a guest on the talk show Andy Warhol's TV Early in his career, Ripps worked in construction as a source of supplemental income.
Ripps' paintings are often supplemented with artificial leaves made of linen, often bound together and worked over heavily with thick layers of oil paint.
Ripps' work has retrospectively been defined by art historians as an unspoken influence of Julian Schnabel, a sentiment echoed by Ripps himself.

They are often represented within the distinguished Small Shelly Fauna (SSF) group because of their minuscule size-from only a few millimeters long, and because of their overt mineralized skeletons.
Little is still known about the animal due to limited fossil collections; there are currently 27 known collections from China according to Fossilworks.
The sclerite that sits on top of the surface of the adapicle portion contains a simple, rugged array of 5-6 small, protruding bumps; the posterior region's sclerite carries along an alternating array of 10-14 spines.
Considering they were slow-moving creatures, they were more vulnerable to larger and faster predators and had to rely on the habitual exploitation of their surrounding environment.
The DeGoogle movement is a grassroots campaign that has spawned as privacy activists urge users to stop using Google products entirely due to growing privacy concerns.

Hong Kong Art Today () was an exhibition held at the Hong Kong City Hall Museum and Art Gallery from 25 May to 4 July 1962.
Apart from the usual practice of inviting participating artists, the event also incorporated an open call for submissions, which caught the attention of the local art scene.
The City Hall Museum and Art Gallery (later renamed Hong Kong Museum of Art in 1975) was housed in the High Block of the newly built Hong Kong City Hall, a modernist building by the waterfront of Central, Hong Kong.
Though it was an exhibition mounted in a museum setting, the artworks were for sale, with prices marked in the catalogue.
The City Hall Museum and Art Gallery acquired some of the works and formed the foundation of its Hong Kong art collection.
As an established figure in the 1950s, and appointed an adviser to the newly established museum, his failure stirred up a storm in the local art circle, especially when Chan decided to make the rejection public to air his frustrations and address the problems of the exhibition.
Chan's trials in abstraction came across as a failure, and his next artistic breakthrough did not come until a decade later.
Cyclone Belna was a strong tropical cyclone that made landfall over northwestern Madagascar in December 2019, becoming the first to do so since Hellen in 2014.
Belna's precursor—an initially broad trough of low pressure west of Seychelles—was formally designated as a zone of disturbed weather on 2 December during a favourable period for tropical cyclogenesis in the Indian Ocean.
Météo-France (MFR) upgraded the system to a tropical depression on 5 December and then to a tropical storm later that day.
Belna reached tropical cyclone strength on 7 December as it began to turn towards the southwest, peaking with maximum sustained winds of 155 km/h (100 mph) before fluctuating in intensity over the following day as it passed just east of Mayotte.
On 9 December, Belna restrengthened and reattained its peak winds upon making landfall near Soalala along the northwestern coast of Madagascar.
MFR began highlighting the potential for tropical cyclone development in their daily bulletins on 25 November, noting an increase in shower activity west of Seychelles.
Aided by the passage of a Kelvin wave and a favourable window in the Madden–Julian oscillation, a broad trough of low pressure began to take shape within the storm activity, extending across the equator.
Projections from computer models remained in disagreement over the system's future, complicated by the concurrent development of a tropical disturbance in the northwestern Indian Ocean along the same trough.
Météo-France declared the system as a zone of disturbed weather on 2 December; at the time the system had drifted west from its point of origin.
Although the storm was better organised and the environment conducive for intensification, the storm's wind field initially remained elongated and rainfall remained north of the storm's centre.
The disturbance became a tropical depression on 5 December, attended by an increase in rainbands and the return of convection at the centre of circulation; at 18:00 UTC that day, the system was upgraded to Moderate Tropical Storm Belna.
Due to a strengthening area of high pressure to its east, Belna began to curve from its initial westward drift to a more directed southwestward trajectory.
After a brief period of strengthening, Belna's central dense overcast remained largely unchanged throughout 6 December before signs of resumed intensification emerged by the day's end, followed by the development of another eye across.
Hot towers were detected atop and within the storm's radius of maximum winds, suggesting the onset of a more accelerated rate of intensification.
However, the presence of dry air in the mid-levels of the troposphere towards the storm's southeastern quadrant prevented Belna from developing considerably.
At 18:00 UTC on 7 December, Belna's winds topped out at 155 km/h (100 mph) before fluctuating at a slightly lower strength over the ensuing day.
The cyclone's structure varied considerably throughout 8 December, at times featuring a small eye surrounded by intense lightning activity and at other times degrading in response to an intrusion of dry air into the Belna's circulation.
Belna's strength was highly variable in part due to its small size, making it susceptible to changes in the local atmospheric environment and complicating forecasts.
On 9 December, a new phase of intensification began as Belna approached the Madagascar coast near Soalala, with an eye becoming apparent on visible satellite imagery.
By 12:00 UTC the next day, Belna's winds had tapered below tropical depression thresholds, though the storm retained a well-defined wind circulation with tightly packed rainbands.
MFR issued their last update on the system later that day while the centre was over Haute Matsiatra, while the remnant circulation centre associated with Belna was last noted in MFR's bulletins on 14 December.
A cyclone pre-alert was issued for Mayotte on 6 December, succeeded by an orange and later red alert the following day.
Civil security personnel from mainland France and Reunion, some from the National Gendarmerie, were sent to Mayotte to aid storm preparation efforts there.
Shelters were opened in several Mayotte communes on 7 December to facilitate mandatory evacuations declared by Mayotte Prefect Jean-François Colombet; approximately 10,000–15,000 people relocated to shelters in Mayotte.
Belna ultimately passed east of Mayotte on the morning of 9 December, with impacts on the island mitigated further by the storm's small size.
Météo Madagascar first issued green alerts for Madagascan districts in Diana, Sava, and Sofia on 4 December based on a high probability of Belna impacting northeastern Madagascar.
Accordingly, cyclone response measures were activated by the National Office for Risk and Disaster Management (BNGRC) and humanitarian organisations across northern Madagascar.
Green alerts were later extended to encompass five districts, and red alerts were eventually issued to all districts in Boeny and Melaky.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies initiated a Disaster Relief Emergency Fund in response to Belna on 9 December, allocating CHF146,491 to 2,500 people within at-risk areas.
Tomás Povedano de Arcos (Lucena, Spain, September 22, 1847 — San José, Costa Rica, February 29, 1943) was a Spanish painter, who spent much of his life in Costa Rica.
He studied painting in Malaga and Seville, a city where he worked as an illustrator while he was a student at the Academy of Fine Arts and taught private drawing lessons.
Her artistic career began by decorating fans, which will be revealed later in a series of flower paintings and allegorical themes.
In 1889-1891 he participated in the scientific, literary and artistic competitions of Seville and in 1889 he won a gold medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris for a full-length portrait.
That triumph contributes to winning the contest opened by the Legation of Ecuador to create a high school of plastic arts in Cuenca.
He arrived in that South American country in 1892 and founded the Academy of Fine Arts of Cuenca and also that of Guayaquil.
He left Ecuador in 1896 to move to Mexico, but on the way he stopped in Costa Rica at the invitation of the Government.
President Rafael Yglesias Castro hires him to organize the National School of Fine Arts, which is inaugurated on March 12 of the following year in San José.
Impressed by the aborigines, Povedano painted pictures that reflect, idealized, the culture, history, art and physiognomy of the native population of America.
In 1926 he was selected - along with Enrique Echandi, Ezequiel Jiménez and Emil Span - to represent Costa Rica in the 1925 Pan American Painting Exhibition, sponsored by the Los Angeles Museum of Art and held on its premises.
He participated in the Exhibitions of Plastic Arts sponsored by the Diario de Costa Rica and was honorary president - along with Span, a German painter who also taught at the Povedano School - of the Art Center.
Among the first, is José María Castro, who Luis Guillermo Solís, after assuming the presidency in 2014, placed in his office.
He introduced watercolor in Costa Rica and showed interest in the flora of the country, painting, like Span, pictures of orchids and other native plants.
A teacher of a large number of young Costa Ricans eager to devote themselves to the plastic arts, Povedano was a clear representative of the academic style, which prevailed in the early years of development of Costa Rican painting.
A great defender of the existence of the institution he created, he manages to keep the doors of the School open even in the most pressing economic situations of the country.
He stood out in the portrait - he represented some of the most important politicians and characters of Costa Rican society - and in landscapes, customary and decorative paintings.
He was the organizer of the Costa Rican theosophical movement and founder of the Virya Lodge (between 1905 and 1915 he directed the magazine of the same name), from which he derived the Dharana, which Roberto Brenes presided.
Povedano married first the Spanish Carolina Amores - with whom she had two children, María de la Cinta and Diego - and then with the Costa Rican María Esmeralda Inés de Jesús Loria Rivera (n. 12.10.1901); from the second marriage he had a daughter, María Elena (n. 25.06.1928).
Povedano implemented academicism in the School he founded and was a consistent opponent of the new pictorial trends of the late nineteenth century and the avant-garde of the early twentieth century.
Povedano students followed the copy of plasters and drawings that were part of the collection of classical sculptures and prints that the Government had acquired for teaching.
Povedano knew how to teach and possessed a very solid knowledge of pictorial techniques, which together with the fierce discipline he imposed gave good results.
Several works by Povedano served as the basis for images that were later recorded on banknotes that circulated in Costa Rica.
The first in which a portrait made by the Spanish artist was used is that of 10 colones from 1903, issued by the Anglo Costa Rican Bank.
This portrait is the most reproduced in Costa Rican paper money: thus, it was re-engraved on the 5 colón banknotes of the National Bank of Costa Rica in the 1940s, and in others of the Central Bank in the 1950s and 1960s.
The portrait of José Rafael Gallegos, who ruled the country twice, was chosen to adorn the 1-colon bill of the Costa Rican Anglo in 1917, but it never went into circulation.
The influence of Povedano's drawings is clearly present in the image that illustrates the reverse of the 10-bank National Banknote of the F series of 1939: the engraving of the aboriginal chief is very similar to the cacique huetar that the painter made for the historical Primer of Costa Rica.
In 1938, Povedano made a pencil drawing of Juan de Cavallón (currently in the Visual Arts Collection of the Central Bank), which three years later would be reproduced by the engraver of the printing house Waterlow and Sons, London, on the ticket 20 colones of the National Bank, series E, in 1941.
In the same year and in the same bank, the 2-colon banknote, series E, was circulated, which had on its back the modified image of The Rescue of Dulcehé, an unfinished oil painting by Povedano.
The engraver of the printing house made the pertinent changes to present a finished work: he drew the characters of the figures insinuated in the original work, modified some positions of others and added background elements, as explained by Manuel Chacón, curator of numismatics in the Museums of the Central Bank.

Born into a noble family, Philippe Gaultier (son of Philippe Gaultier, sieur of Rinault, and Gillette de Vernon) was born in 1641 in Comporté, near Poitiers, in France.
On May 10, 1665, a court of justice of Poitou condemned Philippe Gaultier capital punishment by contumance; this judicial case concerns the death of two people who died as a result of a brawl in which he had taken part.
Gaultier was then delegated in France to request the protection of the court; Following the intercession of the civil and religious authorities, he obtained from the king in June 1680 letters of remission on account of his honorable life.
Philippe Gaultier obtained the concession of the lordship Comporté and that of La Malbaie in 1672; the latter was bought by the king in 1724, and then granted by Governor Murray on April 27, 1762, to Malcolm Fraser and John Nairn.
Eleven children were identified of this couple: their daughter Angelique, married Denis Riverin, who was a member of the Sovereign Council and Lieutenant General of the Provost of Quebec; their daughter Marie-Anne married Alexandre Peuvret de Gaudarville, clerk of the Conseil Souverain, as a first marriage.

Burton was a World War II combat veteran in the Army's 334th Infantry and was awarded both the Purple Heart & Bronze Star for his service.
After the war, he earned a degree in History from University of Scranton, before earning both an MA, PhD in History from Georgetown University.
A historian of American presidents and the Progressive Era, Burton wrote over 17 books, including biographies of Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., and Clara Barton.
In his work, he argued for a cross-cultural approach to the study of American history, often contextualizing notable historical figures in American history via their contemporaries.
Across his career, Burton was awarded fellowships by the American Philosophical Society, Earhart Foundation, and was also a Winston Churchill Traveling Fellow of the English-Speaking Union.
St. Joseph's University established the David H. Burton Postdoctoral Fellowship in recognition for his contribution to the History department over his fifty years as a professor there.
The area is mainly industrial, but is most known among railfans because of the diamond junction between the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canadian National Railway.
In 1855, the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (Milwaukee Road) built a railroad line from Brookfield to Watertown, which eventually went to Portage.
A new brick building was then built, which was torn down in 1987 after an interchange track was installed connecting the two lines.
The line built by Wisconsin Central went through the ownership of various railroads before being handed to Canadian National in 2001.
The diamond junction in the center of Duplainville attracts many rail enthusiasts and railroad photographers due to around 20–25 trains that run though each line per day.
An interchange exists in the northeastern quadrant of the diamond, however the switch on the CP side was removed in 2019 due to inactivity.
WOOK-TV, officially WFAN-TV from 1968 to 1972, was a television station broadcasting on channel 14 in Washington, D.C., which operated from March 5, 1963, to February 12, 1972.
It was the first television station in the United States to orient its entire programming to an African-American audience, along the lines of co-owned WOOK radio.
Mounting license troubles for the United Broadcasting station group, economic difficulties faced by independent and UHF stations, and an inability to upgrade channel 14's facilities to be competitive in the market led to the closure of WFAN-TV on February 12, 1972.
In 1953, Richard Eaton's United Broadcasting Company, owners of WOOK AM, WFAN FM and Rockville-based WINX among other outlets in the mid-Atlantic states, filed for television channels 18 in Baltimore and 50 in Washington.
With no applications pending for channel 14 at Annapolis, Maryland, Eaton petitioned the FCC to move the channel 14 allotment to Washington, which it did in 1955; Eaton also acquired channel 14 equipment at auction from the bankrupt KACY-TV of Festus, Missouri.
In February, Eaton announced that WOOK-TV would debut with programming in the evenings only and would not feature a network affiliation or a schedule of films; in addition, Eaton, planned to build out the Baltimore construction permit as a semi-satellite of WOOK-TV.
It missed another launch date, in February, in part due to equipment issues and also because it had a problem to sort out in the Black community.
It was the District's second UHF television station, after public WETA-TV (channel 26), which had gone on the air in 1961.
Over a seven-year run on the air (though King left in a dispute with management in 1968), Teenarama hosted rising stars and famous musicians including Chubby Checker, Dee Dee Sharp and Brook Benton, as well as musical talent in town to play the Howard Theatre.
On March 1, 1967, the Baltimore station, with the call letters WMET-TV and having been moved to channel 24 in a 1961 allocation revision, began telecasting, with plans to carry 80 percent of WOOK-TV's programming.
An attempted 1971 sale of WMET-TV to the Christian Broadcasting Network never closed, and channel 24 folded on January 14, 1972.
Also in 1967, WMET-TV (moved to channel 24 in an allocation revision six years earlier), the Baltimore station, finally began broadcasting.
Early the next year, Channel 14 also added weekly hours in Italian and Spanish, and on February 14, it changed call letters from WOOK-TV to WFAN-TV, matching Eaton's other Washington station, Spanish-language FM outlet WFAN 100.3.
In 1965, even as the Federal Communications Commission gave short-term renewals to a number of Eaton-owned outlets, WOOK-TV was one of three that received a full-term renewal of its license.
In 1966, United's AM and TV stations in Washington came in for competition when two groups vied to take them over: Washington Community Broadcasting Company, led by journalist Drew Pearson and which also sought to take over the radio station, and Washington Civic Television, whose principals included WRC-TV sportscaster Jim Simpson and Lewis Shollenberger, former head of Radio Liberty in Munich.
At the next renewal cycle, in 1969, the FCC designated Washington Community's challenges alongside WOOK's and WFAN-TV's license renewals for hearing.
Washington Community had become the only challenger for channel 14 when Washington Civic Television dropped out and merged with it, bringing Truman-era Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold into its fold.
United also attempted to upgrade WFAN-TV's signal, boosting its effective radiated power to 1,265 kW from a transmitter site in Bethesda, Maryland; however, the FCC denied the move because of overlap with WMET-TV's signal.
That November, amid calls to delete channel 14 from television use in Washington and convert it to land mobile use, United found a buyer for WFAN-TV: two Milwaukee businessmen who proposed operation of channel 14 on a subscription television basis and would pay $250,000 for the channel if the FCC approved their plan.
In 1973, while the hearing examiner's initial decision found against WOOK and preferred its competing application to the renewal of that station, it found United qualified to be a licensee and recommended renewal of channel 14's (unchallenged) license.
United asked the FCC to keep the WFAN-TV license active while it tried to sell it, but the FCC said that because of the multiple and interrelated proceedings against Eaton that were likely to take years, that would simply take too long.
On April 26, 1974, the FCC ruled that both licenses should be revoked so that new applications could be accepted for Washington's channel 14 and Baltimore's channel 24.
In 1976, it was reactivated in the form of translator W14AA, relaying the Central Virginia Educational Television Corporation's WNVT from Annandale, Virginia; WNVT was licensed to rural Goldvein, Virginia, too far to the south to adequately cover the Washington suburbs.
What was to become WNVC was constructed on channel 56 instead, and on its sign-on in June 1981, W14AA was no longer necessary.
After the FCC gave its approval to feed translators by satellite, W14AA returned to air as the Washington affiliate of SIN (now known as Univision).
In order to accommodate the new full-power channel 14, this station moved to channel 48 in 1989 and is today WMDO-CD.
As the FCC began taking applications for a new licensee for channel 14, now licensed to Arlington, Virginia, D.C. mayor Walter E. Washington expressed his desire that the new channel 14 be minority-owned.
Overruling his initial decision, in 1984, administrative law judge Edward Kuhlmann selected the bid of Urban Telecommunications Corporation, finding that since Urban was financially qualified, its management and operations were more integrated than those of previous winner WSCT-TV.
After years of extensions, the station went on the air in 1993 as WTMW, named for Urban's sole owner, Theodore M. White.
After an initial boom in screenings and production, the presence of cinema in the nation was lower between 1900 and 1910.
A film circuit was established in Caracas in 1899, which included the Teatro Caracas, the Circo Metropolitano, a small bar opposite the Circo, the Café La Francia, and the Socorro bodega.
Farrell writes that in the 1890s Venezuela was a frontrunner in the industry of film within Latin America, a status it lost after the state became involved with production in the 20th century.
For a few days, beginning on 30 November 1900, a Bioscope was presented by W. H. Whiteman in the Hotel Bolívar of Ciudad Bolívar.
The first sound films of the country were shown by the Frenchman G. Romegout on 31 August 1901, operating a gramophone at the same time as the projector.
Cinema did not reappear in Caracas until the end of 1901; in the 1890s, Carlos Ruiz Chapellín had shown films in various venues, filling them with theatre during 1900.
Additionally, most halls used for showing films did not have permanent facilities for the function, being limited to the Baralt Theatre in Maracaibo and Teatro Municipal in Valencia; in 1904, the Teatro Municipal in Barquisimeto was the main location for cinema in this region, with other areas using commercial public buildings like cafés and hotels for screenings.
The pioneer Manuel Trujillo Durán had returned to photography until 1902; in August 1903 he was working with fellow Zulian Alfredo Duplat in San Cristóbal, Táchira on films, traveling through the state after showing films in Cúcuta.
Trujillo Durán continued to work in film through the decade, but sparsely: he operated projectors at several locations, including as the duo 'Trujillo & March' at the Baralt Theatre, where he is documented in 1906 and 1908; at the University of the Andes in 1907; and around the country for Pathé in 1908 and 1909.
Ruiz Chapellín, who had been the main film entrepreneur in the city, was replaced in this position by Carlos Badaracco; seen as a more gentile person, Badaracco's presence and the ability from 1904 to rent films from U.S. companies rather than buy them outright led to more investors in cinema.
This year, a company owned by the Ireland brothers began showing a hundred films that they had imported at the Municipal in Caracas; though a renowned company, the shows left the Municipal starting on 25 April 1905, with the reason that the Circo Metropolitano could hold the much larger audiences they were attracting.
The Irelands also introduced different film seasons through the year, and held a special screening on 27 April 1905 with then-Vice President Juan Vicente Gómez in attendance, their last show at the Municipal, though running concurrently with their regular programming at the Circo.
In 1908, after the Baralt brothers of Maracaibo relocate to Caracas, the Baralts worked with the Delhom brothers and the two sets of siblings formed a company together.
Though it dissolved a year later, the Delhoms continued to make films for another five years, with Manuel Delhom making at least a dozen in 1908.
Sonia Handelman Meyer (born February 12, 1920) is an American photographer, best known for her street photography as a member of the New York Photo League.
Returning to New York in the 1940s, Meyer was a member of the New York Photo League from 1943 to 1951, as a both photographer and secretary.
After the dissolution of the Photo League in 1951, Meyer's work went largely unrecognized until 2006 when it was rediscovered by a gallery owner in Charlotte, North Carolina.

This article lists each Leader of the Opposition of the United Kingdom, from the Parliament Act 1911 granting legislative preeminence to the House of Commons, and the Ministers of the Crown Act 1937 the leader of the second largest faction within it a statutory title and salary, rather than the customary role as HM Official Opposition, in order of term length.
This is based on the difference between dates; if counted by number of calendar days all the figures would be one greater.
Of the 33 Leaders of the Opposition, 6 served more than 5 years (1826.25 days), 4 have lost more than one General election, and 7 have served less than a year.

1928 Great Barrier Reef expedition was a thirteen month scientific program beginning in 1928, which was promoted to study the Australian Great Barrier Reef.
The Great Barrier Reef Expedition was a scientific study suggested by Sir Matthew Nathan and Professor Henry Richards who led the Australian Great Barrier Reef Committee from its establishment in 1922.
With support from the British Barrier Reef Committee and the Association for the Advancement of Science in England, there was considerable interest in conducting zoological studies of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, to investigate theories put forward by Charles Darwin and others.
This largely British expedition of scientists sought financial support from the Australian government, universities and the public to fund the expedition and study biological and geological life in a number of sections of the Reef.
C. Maurice Yonge, a marine invertebrate researcher, was encouraged to join a proposed expedition to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef in 1927.
Otter and Aubrey Nicholls would be assistants, and Frank Moorhouse of the University of Queensland would provide local marine biology knowledge.
The Australian Museum also sent five people to help with the research throughout the year – Tom Iredale, Gilbert Whitley, William Boardman, Arthur Livingstone and Frank McNeill.
Indigenous workers were hired from the nearby Anglican mission at Yarrabah to work on Low Isles in support of the team.
They included Andy and Grace Dabah who worked as handyman and cook and were later replaced by Claude and Minnie Connolly.
The Luana was used to carry out scientific studies on and in the water as well as carry provisions to and from the mainland.
Black-Lip pearl oysters, Beche De Mer and rock and mangrove oysters, as well as the fish populations of the surrounding areas were assessed for potential economic development.
Boring of the reef had been undertaken around Michaelmas Cay in 1926 to determine the age and thickness of the reef, which helped the geological research.
One of the first visitors to Low Isles during the Expedition was journalist Charles Barrett whose newspaper articles were later published as a book.
In part due to the extensive newspaper coverage, tourists sought out the islands following the expedition to collect shells and corals.
Yonge and his team’s research pioneered studies into coral physiology and their research persists in being vital reference material to current study.
In 2018, the club were administratively promoted to the second division Kenyan National Super League to replace Palos FC, who had disbanded, effectively taking their place in the league.
The club had financial problems in 2018, leading to a situation where only eight players started a match away in Nairobi, which they lost 2-0.
Kisumu finished in second place in the 2018–19 Kenyan National Super League season to earn promotion to the Kenyan top flight, beating out Nairobi Stima on goal difference.

Eucalyptus proxima, commonly known as nodding mallee or red-flowered mallee, is a species of mallee that is endemic to a small area in the south-west of Western Australia.
It has smooth greyish bark, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, red to pink, sometimes yellowish flowers and conical to slightly bell-shaped fruit.
Adult leaves are the same shade of glossy green on both sides, lance-shaped, long and wide tapering to a petiole long.
The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils in groups of seven on a slightly flattened, down-turned, unbranched peduncle long, the individual buds sessile or on thick pedicels long.

Acer diabolicum, the horned maple or devil maple, is a species of maple that is endemic to central and southern Japan.
It gets its specific epithet and its common names from the two hornlike appearance of the protruding curly stigmas of its flowers, which are retained on its winged seeds.
The winter buds are ovate to oblong-ovate, dark brown in color, and protected by 6 to 8 pairs of pubescent scales.
The lobes are broadly ovate, acuminate, and distally dentately serrate, or one might say crenately dentate, with the teeth broadly acute or even obtusish.
The trees are dioecious, with the usually salmon to brick red flowers appearing in early spring before the leaves fully unfurl.
Pistillate (female) flowers are held in 5 to 7 flowered pendulous sessile or peduncled racemes, and are 2 to 3cm long.
Its wide growth form largely precludes it from being planted on street parkways, but the fact that it, unlike most maples, has male and female individuals it makes it useful to plant males in landscape and garden applications where seedlings are not desired.
The similarity to the sycamore and its rather ordinary yellow to orange fall foliage have discouraged its widespread adoption as an ornamental outside Japan.

William Paul Yoerg (October 16, 1883 – September 26, 1957), sometimes referred to as Bill Yoerg, was an American politician, businessman, and the 32nd mayor of Holyoke, Massachusetts.
A tire salesman and garage proprietor prior to his political career, Yoerg established his company, Yoerg Tire & Rubber Company in 1909, reportedly selling more U.S.
Brand tires than any other New England competitor during his time in business, overseeing it in some capacity until his retirement in 1954.
During his tenure as mayor, he presided during several WPA projects, including the expansion of Mackenzie Stadium, completion of the city's War Memorial Building, and the construction of flood controls in the downtown and Springdale.
William Paul Yoerg was born in South Hadley Falls, Massachusetts on October 16, 1883 to Michael John, a mill supervisor, and Nellie Yoerg (née O'Brien).
Yoerg would attend public school in South Hadley until he was 13, when he took up work as an errand boy and eventual clerk for the J. Russell & Company Hardware Store in Holyoke.
At 18 he became a clerk and eventual manager for the Revere Tire Company on Main Street, beginning his automotive business career, and by the age of 23 was serving as a travelling sales representative for Diamond Rubber.
On November 17, 1907, he married his wife, Mary G. Dugan of Ware at St. Patrick's Church in South Hadley, and on April 19, 1909 went on to open his own tire business.
He would change locations several times to accommodate his growing business until he eventually settled Yoerg Tire and Rubber at 158 Chestnut Street in 1915, where it remained until his retirement in 1954; his former garage building still stands at that address today.
Prior to his election he would also serve as the president of the Holyoke Automobile Maintenance Association and on the board of directors of the Tri-County Automobile Club.
He would go across the city appealing to many of its clubs and groups across ethnic and class lines, reportedly holding 10 rallies in a single day, criticizing the incumbent administration's actions as opaque and unresponsive.
Ultimately by characterizing his opponent as autocratic, chastising Toepfert's hold over the welfare commission, and using accident statistics and appealing to his experience in the automotive industry, Yoerg was able to win over voters.
During his tenure Yoerg would work directly with President Franklin Roosevelt, meeting with him in Springfield on August 1, 1936, on behalf of the mayors and selectmen of Western Massachusetts, and testifying before Congress, to rally for WPA funding of new infrastructure projects for flood controls, utilities, and recreation.
In 1938 he was credited with successfully lobbying for nearly $1.5 million in Works Progress Administration funds for several streets and sewers projects, equivalent to $26.7 million dollars in 2019 US Dollars.
Influenced by Roosevelt's fireside chats, in 1939 Yoerg would also spend a series of radio broadcasts outlining the housing, infrastructure, and other issues that needed to be addressed by the city and its counterparts in state and Federal government.
Yoerg would go on to win two more elections, defeating Toepfert-favorite Dr. Robert Cleary in 1936, and Toepfert a second time in 1937, marking the beginning of the first 2-year term in the city's history.
Two months before the election, in October 1939, Yoerg would drop out of the race to lead the newly-formed Holyoke Housing Authority as it planned its first project, Lyman Terrace.
He would perform his duties as executive director of the agency without salary until September 1940, when he would resign to resume his full-time duties managing his garage.
Following the end of his term as director of the housing authority, for much of the remainder of his life, Yoerg would remain involved in his garage business, and as a field representative of the local Tri-County Automobile Club.
He would later offer public support for controversial Mayor Edwin A. Seibel in the 1950s, who in return would appoint him to the board of the department of public works from 1953 to 1956.
After a period of illness, Yoerg died at the age of 72 on September 26, 1957; he was interred in St. Jerome's Cemetery.
Yoerg's relatively brief tenure, left a considerable legacy in Holyoke, through the many WPA projects that he and his administration pursued, including the War Memorial Building, modernization projects of Mitchell Field and Mackenzie Stadium, modernizing of sewer systems, construction of the city's levy and pumping station systems, the implementation of modern school lunch programs, and the building of Lyman Terrace and Holyoke Housing Authority.
With Yoerg's extensive ties to the automobile industry, serving as a director of the Tri-County Automobile Club, he would however assure that the Holyoke Street Railway Company completely dismantled its tracks on city streets with the termination of trolley service in 1937.

This thin-leaved fern is commonly found in New Zealand and Tasmania, growing in patches on rocks and is epiphytic on trees and tree ferns, growing in moist gullies or rainforests.
Forming extensive, interwoven and creeping patches with its thin long (creeping) rhizomes sparsely covered in red-brown hairs , easily recognised by its membranous grey-green fronds, the smooth margins of the pinnae, ultimate segments and indusia; and by the sunken sori in the uppermost segments of the uppermost pinnae.
The species can be found throughout Tasmanian rainforests as well as occurring in New South Wales, Victoria and New Zealand on the North and South Islands as well as, Stewart, Chatham and Auckland Islands.
Fronds are pendant and up to 15 cm long; stipe to 20–70 mm long, very thin, black; rachis winged in the uppermost section of the frond; lamina 1-pinnate 1–2-pinnatifid, pale green, and up to 100 mm in length and 10–25 mm wide, with no toothed margins.
Solitary sori borne at apex of segments, and sunken at the base but not tubular; a whorl or rosette of bracts surrounding the inflorescence or at the base of an umbel, shaped like a rhomboid, apex rounded or obtusely angled; receptacle slender, included.
The narrow filmy-fern is found in rainforests, forming patches on rocks and is often epiphytic on trees and tree ferns in moist gullies.
This species can also be found in Tasmania and on the Bass Strait Islands, While being highly dispersed throughout New Zealand, occurring on North and South Islands as well as, Stewart, Chatham and Auckland Islands.
Occurring in coastal to montane habitats, this species is common in rainforests, scrub, shaded cliff faces or amongst boulders and damp gullies.
The Genera are separated based on the sorus and gametophyte structures, particularly the indsium structure (membrane covering sorus) and the receptacle.
The Australian plants of H. rarum differ from their New Zealand counterparts with widely spaced pinnae rather than imbricating pale green pinnae.
Members of this family most commonly occur in moist habitats with few members being able to withstand dryer conditions, in which they are able to later 'revive' themselves when moisture becomes readily available.

The Swiss Red Cross Commission escape occurred in 1941 at Schloẞ Spangenberg, involving Dominic Bruce, Eustace Newborn and Pete Tunstall, all prisoners of war (POWs), held at the castle.
In late July and early August 1941, Bruce, Newborn and Tunstall, took an interest in the architecture of the building, suspecting there may be escaping materials.
The three broke into a flat in the Schloss thought to belong to a forestry principal and inside the flat the trio obtained escape material such as disguises, maps and a compass.
After sourcing the escape resources, they carefully crafted an escape plan that took advantage of the incompetent gate security of the castle, intending to walk to Kassel, break into Fliegerhorst Kassel, steal an aircraft and then fly to Basle.
Patiently waiting many weeks for the conditions to be just right for the escape, on 3 September 1941 the trio brazenly walked across the moat bridge, posing as a German officer (Tunstall) and two doctors (Bruce and Newborn) of a Swiss Red Cross inspection team.
Upon reaching the bottom of the hill outside of the castle's grounds, they quickly removed their Swiss Commission disguises and then made their way to Kassel, dressed as Luftwaffe airmen, aiming to steal an aircraft.
The escape by the trio, which revealed the short-comings of the castle's ability to handle prisoners of war, is thought to be a reason why Schloẞ Spangenberg was evacuated in late 1941.
The digging was a very slow process; it required the removal of spoil, bricks and stone work, and was aided by other prisoners distracting the guards.
When Bruce and Tunstall noted the slow process they began examining the rest of the castle and left the digging to the other team involving Sammy Hoare.
The tunnel almost reached completion but unfortunately the digging team got caught when a guard become suspicious at the large stones that were accumulating outside of the gym.
Tunstall stated that he would like to think some of the watchers and workers who helped on their original wooden horse escape may have mentioned it from time to time; and would like to think that their idea contributed to the success of the effort at Sagan.
Whilst the wooden horse tunnel was being dug, Bruce and Tunstall, were planning, after they had escaped from the castle grounds, to steal an aircraft from Kassel airfield to fly to Basle Switzerland.
As the tunnel was being dug by other prisoners, Bruce and Tunstall were also in the process of exploring the castle and keeping their options open for other escape possibilities in case the tunnel route was found.
At this time, Bruce and Tunstall got to know a new prisoner called Eustace Newborn who was in the wooden horse tunnel syndicate.
In the escape it was decided Tunstall, who could speak better German, would be a Feldwebel and Bruce and Newborn would be privates.
Inside the daily hustle of the castle and at the same time as Bruce, Newborn and Tunstall were planning on exploring a flat, Eric Foster and Joe Barker, who were planning a laundry cart escape, were taking a similar interest in the impressive architecture of the building.
Though their interest was for the first floor of the building, not the same flat that interested Bruce, Newborn and Tunstall.
At this moment in time, both groups did not know that they each had a keen interest in this area of the castle.
The flat that interested Bruce, Newborn and Tunstall had once been explored by a French lieutenant named Merlin, who had broke into the flat in 1939.
It was rumoured the previous occupant of this apartment was a forestry school principal who was now at the front for Germany.
They eventually found a way into this flat via a chamber found at the top of the staircase which had a plaster ceiling.
They broke through this plaster ceiling in the chamber with a four foot long metal-pole that they claimed could break through anything and that they affectionately pun-named Napoleon.
At first sight inside the attic Bruce, Newborn and Tunstall noticed a shadowy silhouette staring back at them, and this frightened them.
Inside the room they found escape material such as civilian clothes, officer uniforms, guns including a Luger pistol, maps, a compass, cases and stale cigars.
Upon sourcing these materials Bruce and Tunstall then gave up their wooden horse tunnel escape completely and left it all to Hoare.
Unfortunately the gate security had been increased because of a 1940 escape from the castle by three Canadians, Keith Milne, Don Middleton and Hank Wardle.
All staff rotated their roles and sometimes a staff member would be the sentry on the castle side of the bridge who opened the gate.
To let people into the castle the sentry could only open the gate after an order that could only come from the guard commander, and this order would come after the guard commander had signed the people in.
To let people out of the castle, the sentry, would blow a whistle, and the guard commander would come through the gate to sign the people out, then following a command, the sentry would then open the gate.
Over time, they observed the C company Feldwebel was the least meticulous of the three companies and that there was no chance of escape if A company and B company had a shift, being they followed the protocol to the letter.
They noticed the guard commander did not bother with the protocol when the orderlies went to the moat to feed the pigs potato peelings and rubbish from the kitchen, this left the gate open.
They believed he would be the least alert enough of the guards to notice their faces when they were in disguise.
They would carry an ID card which was no more than a touched up fishing license with an official seal, and Bruce and Newborn would be dressed as visiting doctors.
Newborn, along with a prisoner called Joe Kayll were strongly against it, arguing they could not expect the protection of the Geneva Convention while carrying it.
The argument was in turn settled by the SBO – Brigadier Somerset who strictly forbade them taking the Lugar with them.
More important to the three was boot polish, shaving equipment which would keep them presentable as Luftwaffe airmen, and the local map and compass.
Bruce and Tunstall estimated their escape from the castle grounds depended on these three things, pig feeding time leaving the gate to the bridge open, Blockhead being on the gate and C company being on the afternoon shift.
If Blockhead bluffed this question, he failed the test and this would probably mean he assumed a Swiss Commission team was inside the castle.
If he bluffed, Milner would give a thumbs-up from behind his back and this thumbs-up would mean the escape plan would kick into action.
If Blockhead passed the test, Milner would give a thumbs-down signal from behind his back and the escape would not go ahead.
It was always predicted Blockhead and C company would always open the gate to the orderlies to allow the orderlies to feed the pigs with rubbish from the kitchen.
At this point, when the gate was predicted to be left open by Blockhead, they devised to immerse Blockhead in a social orchestration.
They arranged for: Blockhead to be blustered and overwhelmed by his perceptions; they scheduled deftly timed goon baiting from the orderlies at the gate to overwhelm him; and timed for a perception of urgency from Swiss Commission inspection team and the Army Hauptmann, to rush him.
Prior to walking through the gate, the faux Swiss commission team would be seen having chats with the British medical officers to help with the frame.
They arranged to walk to the forest on their way to Kassel, dressed as Luftwaffe airmen, knowing the guards would eventually be searching for two civilians and an army Hauptmann.
Bruce, disguised as a doctor, conversed with the British medical officers to help frame Blockheads confusion, with Bruce being perceptually harassed on some critical points, by the medical officers.
Tunstall walked by and walked through the gate, and Bruce and Newborn, carrying dispatch cases, with Bruce, a non-smoker, insouciantly smoking a cigar (a rarity by this period of the war; and convincing evidence for the guards that the visitor was Swiss), followed him over the bridge.
On 25 August 1941 Foster and Barker were successful with their, almost air tight, laundry basket escape, though they eventually got recaptured.
He then observed Bruce showing the fishing ID license to the guards, to which he deliberately dropped and then picked up again in order to obfuscate the imperfections of the documentation.
Tunstall explained, the guards at the other end of the bridge saluted at the Hauptmann as they made it over the bridge on their way out of the castle grounds.
Though Kassel is a right turn from the exit of the castle, exiting the grounds they turned left before they set on their way to Kassel and made their way to the bottom of the hill, where they removed and hid their commission disguises.
They then chose one of two roads that led from the castle, and marched to Kassel, along Melsunger Straße, dressed as Luftwaffe airmen.
In their escape plan there was only one thing that did not come off, at the bottom of the hill they did not see the white smoke warning that came from the kitchen, warning them the security team was searching for them.
When on an open road heading towards the forest, search parties drove past them, even asking Bruce, Tunstall and Newborn if they had seen three escapees dressed as the Swiss Commission inspection team, causing some mild anxiety.
Very relieved that they reached the shade of the forest, Tunstall explained that Bruce, Newborn and Tunstall then come across the threat of a group of wild boars.
The three, noting the wild boars with tusks in the moat at Spangenberg, had been previously institutionalized and given information from the guards about the violence of the wild boar.
According to Tunstall, Bruce became impatient, and then picked up a walking stick, broke the conditioning, then walked over to the pigs, the pigs then harmlessly moved away before Bruce arrived.
Newborn a South African, alongside Tunstall, then began justifying their positions by jokingly talking about the African warthog, talking about the merits of the warthog, how you can't be too careful as these African pigs were noted for their fury, and how these wild hogs regularly busted car tyres with their tusks.
At Kassel airfield they intended to steal a Junkers Ju 52, which Newborn had flown before the war, and then fly to Basle Switzerland.They penetrated the aerodrome.
Whilst inside the aerodrome, they were impeded by a suspicious officer, of superior rank to the Feldwebel, who asked them to stop.
On the airfield, they were discovered trying to start a Luftwaffe aircraft, so they decided to find another aerodrome that was less heavily guarded near the Belgian frontier.
In the adjustment of the plans, they decided it was better to travel in plain sight and in daylight with their Luftwaffe uniforms, whilst saluting and using colloquial phrases, instead of going cross country, and getting their uniforms dirty.
Whilst on the road from Kassel, unknown to Bruce, Newborn and Tunstall, every police and military unit in German occupied Europe had been informed of the escape of an army Hauptmann and two civilians from Spangenberg castle.
To the laughter of Bruce and Newborn, Tunstall, stole three loaves of bread from a horse and cart whilst matching the horses gallop, and painfully crouching to stay out of the sight-line of the driver.
On the second day from Kassel, Bruce, Tunstall and Newborn marched alongside the River Eder and came across the scenic sight of the Eder Dam.
He relates how one morning (after a night sheltering under cover on farmland) they woke up to an audience of German land girls.
Tunstall, in an effort to allay their suspicions, claimed that he and Newborn were taking their prisoner Bruce to a military prison.
After ten days on the road, near a small prison camp used for farm labour, they were arrested by a soldier who followed them on a bike with another guard and a civilian.
When Tunstall was answering his questions, Bruce and Newborn looked at Tunstall with disdain, consequentially, when Bruce and Newborn were interrogated, they instead, approached the questioning from the interrogator with disrespect.
The trio each received 53 days in solitude for the Spangenberg Castle escape, which was longer than the Geneva convention suggested.
The Senior British Officer also complained that according to the Geneva convention guidelines, the exercise yard in Spangenberg was too small, and they needed to be moved to another camp.
In solitary confinement, Bruce, Newborn and Tunstall were placed in three separate cells in front of, and high above, the moat they had previously escaped from.
To the amusement of Bruce, Newborn, and Tunstall, in the remaining cell, Blockhead was also doing his time in confinement for letting the fake inspection team through the gate.
Whilst they were held in confinement, they even managed to defy solitude after Bruce picked the lock on his, Newborn's and Tunstall's cell doors in order that they might join him in his cell to play poker with a set of home made cards a previous occupant had left behind.
When caught out by the guard who had noted that there was three to a cell, Tunstall claimed, Bruce, Newborn and himself smiled and nodded at the puzzled and curious guard as if they were innocent, this was harmless, and as if the guard was a juvenile who had just completed a simple comprehension test.
For the breaking of the solitude, Bruce was eventually court-martialled on the serious military charge of breaking free from arrest, the other two eventually got five extra days solitude.
Tunstall explained he thought Bruce eventually got away with it by Bruce explaining escaping was not a court-martial offence for a POW, according to the Geneva Convention.
John Colshull (c.1391-1418), of Tremodret in Duloe and Binnamy in Week St. Mary, Cornwall was an English Member of Parliament for Cornwall in April and November 1414.
François-César Le Tellier (Paris, 18 February 1718Paris, 7 July 1781), was the marquis of Courtanvaux, Count of Tonnerre, Duke of Doudeauville, and a French aristocrat, military officer, and scientist.
In 1733, aged 15, he took part in his first campaign as an aid in the staff of Marshal Louis de Noailles, who was his uncle.
After a few years, he associated with Madame de Pompadour in an effort to revigorate dancing at the Court, from 1745 to 1754.
He gave his son, Charles François César Le Tellier, a thorough education, which earned him an honorary seat at the Academy of Sciences.

It is a fragment of a Latin medical treatise dating from the 9th or late 8th century in which a few Irish words appear (two) and (about thirty) in old Breton language.
96 A has the particularity of including Old Breton not in the glosses, but in the main text: it is one of the few documents where the vernacular language is not restricted to secondary use.
Nevertheless, Old Brittany only intervenes on one page of this bifolio and there it remains subordinate to Latin insofar as it is simply technical words (names of plants, preparations) which are substituted for the corresponding Latin words.
Leiden's medical fragment is probably nothing typically Breton in the subject: it is a question of ancient or medieval Latin recipes that are constantly being copied in monasteries.

Abraham Mar Koorilos I was the first primate and Metropolitan of the Malabar Independent Syrian Church, although it was known initially as Thozhyur Sabha (Thozhyur Church) or Anjoor Church newly established in 1772.
As a boy he impressed the visiting Bishop Mar Ivanios of Jerusalem of the Syriac Orthodox Church by correcting a deacon's liturgical mistake at Mulanthuruthy Church.
Bishop Ivanios later ordained both Kattumangatt Kurien and his brother Kattumangatt Geevarghese as deacons, then priests, before returning to Jerusalem in 1751.
As relations between the Syriac Orthodox Church hierarchy and the native clergy of the Malankara Church became strained, in 1772 Bishop Mar Gregorios, a representative of the Syriac Orthodox hierarchy from the Near East, became dissatisfied with Metropolitan Mar Dionysius I and against the latter's wishes, Bishop Gregorios consecrated Kattumangatt Kurien as a bishop in a secret but canonically legitimate ceremony.
This action fomented further the strained relations with Dionysus that ultimately resulted in the formation of an independent church to be headed by Bishop Koorilos.
However, Metropolitan Dionysus I saw Bishop Koorilos as a threat to his power, and in 1774 he appealed to the Raja and to the British authorities in India to suppress the rival bishop.
Koorilos was forced to leave for Thozhiyoor in Kerala outside the jurisdiction of Dionysus, and established what would become an independent church known as Thozhiyur Church.
In was only after an 1862 court case, the Madras High Court confirmed the Thozhiyur Church was an independent Malankara church, and it has subsequently been known as the Malabar Independent Syrian Church.
In 1794 Cyril consecrated his brother Geevarghese as bishop; Geevarghese succeeded Cyril as Geevarghese Mar Koorilos II in 1802, and the succession has proceeded unbroken since.

Aged 15, he was one of a group of senior boys from his Berlin secondary school to be conscripted for war service.
Given a number guard assignments at the concentration camp during the second part of 1944, Gnielka became aware of various Shoah atrocities several months before the arrival of the Red army in January 1945 opened the way for the Nazi atrocities to become more widely known.
He never forgot those experiences, and as an investigative reporter for a regional newspaper reporter in the 1950s and early 1960s he played a pivotal role in ensuring that these more nightmarish aspects of Nazi Germany could not simply be forgotten.
A file of papers passed on by Thomas Gnielka to the state Fritz Bauer triggered the Auschwitz Trials of 1963–65 in Frankfurt, although Gnielka himself died of skin cancer some months before August 1965 when the court delivered its verdicts on the twenty defendants.
Their mission was to defend the IG Farben plant there: duties included supervising the emaciated who were sent out each day to be used for forced labour.
After the war Gnielka volunteered for an Internship with the , based in the Berlin quarter where he had grown up.
Later he moved to Munich where in 1948 he met and teamed up with the cabaret artiste (subsequently better known for her work as an author and television journalist) Ingeborg Euler.
With effect from 11 February 1957 he switched, becoming the Wiesbaden local editor for the Frankfurter Rundschau, a regional newspaper launched twelve years earlier which had already acquired a national reach.
At the beginning of 1959 Gnielka received an unexpected reaction to an article he had produced the previous year for the Frankfurter Rundschau on the situation in the Wiesbaden .
Gnielka, in his article, had expressed concern that office employees were processing compensation claims from surviving holocaust victims, if at all, only with great reluctance: some of the clerical employees were prepared to identify themselves as former Nazis.
Applicants were being treated with a marked absence of courtesy, and old Nazi-era antisemitic songs could sometimes be heard from the back offices.
The files, a somewhat grisly souvenir of the destructive Siege of Breslau, had been blown into the street by the fire storm that engulfed the buildings on 8 May 1945.
Wulkan stated that there had been more papers, but when they had gone back to retrieve these, they found the papers they were looking for had been destroyed by fire.
Thirteen years later, still in possession of those papers, Wulkan had read Gnielka's article about the situation in the Wiesbaden and had come to invoke Gnielka's support in his attempts to progress his own compensation claim.
When Wulkan left the office, on top of the little sideboard that might normally have accommodated a drink or a small portion of cheese, there was instead the bundle of papers, still tied around with the red ribbon.
The state prosecutor for the state of Hessen at this time was a man called Fritz Bauer who was by this time already active in the post–war efforts to obtain justice and compensation for victims of the Nazi regime, and was already investigating suspected war crimes committed at the Auschwitz concentration camp during the Hitler years.
Ingeborg Euler recalled that Thomas Gnielka made a telephone call to Prosecutor Bauer, and a car was sent round to collect the files later that evening.
Other sources state that it was only on the next day, 15 January 1959, that the journalist sent the papers with the signature of the concentration camp commander over to the prosecutor's office.
The named perpetrators of the shootings had managed to leave their Nazi pasts behind them, but they were now sought out and, over time, arrested.
But when the Frankfurt Auschwitz trials opened in 1963 it was widely acknowledged that the entire investigation had been made possible by the handing over of those vital files by Thomas Gnielka.
After that he was able to become a freelance journalist, although many of his contributions continued to be for the Frankfurter Rundschau.
He also wrote regularly for , the newspaper of West Germany's powerful IG Metall trades union, for the illustrated news magazine Quick and for the Munich-based news magazine .
By this time Thomas Gnielka was less in the public eye, increasingly content to work from home in the old village mill-house in Herold from where he witnessed the trial, like most people, through the prism of press reports by others.
Thomas Gnielka had been diagnosed with skin cancer earlier that year, and by the time the trial ended, on 19 August 1965, he was dead.
Left with five children to look after, his widow now moved with the family to Frankfurt where she now plunged into a full-time career as a television journalist with Hessischer Rundfunk.

He continued his research in this Institute and then at the Radiochemistry Laboratory of the Orsay (1968-98), which he directed for twelve years (1979-90).
His expertise covers the chemistry of the nuclear fuel cycle (from uranium mining to waste management and spent fuel reprocessing) and nuclear energy issues.
He has been a member or chairman of numerous French and international committees dealing with the nuclear fuel cycle, nuclear energy, radioactive waste management and the synthesis and use of radionuclides for medicine.
The rest of his work can be linked to the common thread of the consequences of filling the atomic underlayer 5f on the physicochemical properties of actinides.
This filling plays an essential role in the behaviour of the 15 actinides, especially when these electrons are delocalized, from protactinium (Pa) to americium (Am).
This results in a high richness of oxidation degrees of the first actinides (usually from 3 to 6) and in the manifestation of particular effects in the series (electronic states characterized by the quantum number J).
Thus, he studied the thermodynamic consequences of the population of sublayer 5f on a series of solution complexes (citric complexes of trivalent actinides from Am to fermium (Fm).
After the curium (Cm), it is necessary, to carry out experiments, to synthesize isotopes of berkelium (Bk), einstenium (Es) and Fm by nuclear reactions with particle accelerators , and separate them from irradiated targets, which he did at Orsay.
At the same time, he participated in the study of thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties of elements 5f (and 4f) in connection with electronic transfers between these elements and their environment: covalence in two-phase solvent extraction systems and crystal field effect on solids, in particular single crystals examined at 4 K.
Finally, he continued his research on the fundamental problems of radionuclide migration in the environment (speciation, concentration effect, retention on colloids) and selective separation of actinides/lanthanides from the elements constituting spent nuclear fuel.
His main lines of research are lexicology and lexicography, 19th century political language, specialised language and the didactics of the Spanish language.
At that time, they taught at this university Alonso Zamora Vicente, Fernando Lázaro Carreter and Antonio Tovar, especially with the couple formed by the former and María Josefa Canellada.
She was an assistant professor at that University (1960-1962) and between 1962 and 1963 Assistant of Spanish Language at the Bordeaux Academy; from 1963 to 1980 she taught at secondary schools in Vitoria, Murcia and Hospitalet de Llobregat.
From 1993 to the present, she is Professor of Spanish Philology at Universidad Pompeu Fabra and coordinated the research group Infolex of its Instituto Universitario de Lingüística Aplicada (University Institute of Applied Linguistics).
Currently (2015) she is Emeritus Professor of Spanish Philology at Universidad Pompeu Fabra and chaired AELEX (Asociación Española de Estudios Lexicográficos).
He served as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Nationalised Services and Road Transport (1956-1959) and was a Member of Parliament from the Kurunegala.
A founding member of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party, he first contested successfully in the 1956 general elections from the Sri Lanka Freedom Party in the Kurunegala electorate and was elected to the House of Representatives defeating Dingiri Bandara Welagedara from the United National Party.
He was re-elected in the 1960 March general elections and 1960 July general elections, but was resigned on 20 December 1960 when he was found guilty by the Bribery Commission.
He unsuccessfully contested the 1965 general elections and the 1977 general elections as an independent candidate from the Kurunegala electorate having been defeated by Dingiri Bandara Welagedara.
Maryvale once had a station on the Main Western line and a railway was proposed between Maryvale Triangular Junction @ , North of Maryvale Station and Sandy Hollow, New South Wales on the Merriwa Branch Railway Line as part of a railway between Dubbo and Western NSW to Newcastle.
Only the Sandy Hollow–Gulgong section has been completed as part of Ulan Mine Rail Link to Newcastle, although most of the Earthworks, Culverts, Bridge Abutments etc & Tunnel No 5 of 5 (Sandy Hollow to Maryvale Railway Line) @ were constructed / built between Gulgong and Maryvale section between 1937 and 1951.

Stadelmann was born in Berlin; he studied at the Berlin University of the Arts with Thomas Brandis, afterwards becoming a member of the .
Among them was not Martha's husband, whom she had been waiting for all these years, but nevertheless she remained faithful to him.
He was an important warrior and negotiator, bringing numerous Indigenous clans together in an armed resistance against the 99th (Lanarkshire) Regiment of Foot, squatters and the squatters' servants and other workers.
From 1841 over the course of decades, 1200 Indigenous warriors were opposed by, amongst others, the 99th (Lanarkshire) Regiment of Foot.
Multeggerah's tactics included road blocks made from felled trees, and setting an ambush site on a steep hill and in amongst bogs and heavy scrub.
Multeggerah was said by some to have lived to old age; but possibly died in 1846 as part of the continuing conflict.
A counter attack against the Indigenous battle group by more than 30 squatters and their servants was also turned back from the high ground by the use of spears and thrown rocks.
The women's team of four competition for bowling at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games in Philippines was held on 6 December 2019 at Coronado Lanes, Starmall EDSA-Shaw.
She was a member of The Souls, an upper class circle that challenged the conventions and attitudes of their class in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Cust was born at Denton Hall to Victoria, Lady Welby, a philosophical writer and Sir William Earle Welby-Gregory, a politician and landowner.
Cust wrote a biography of her mother, Victoria, Lady Welby's first thirty years, entitled 'Wanderers: episodes from the travels of Lady Emmeline Stuart-Wortley and her daughter Victoria, 1849-1855'.
Cust's translation of 'Semantics; studies in the science of meaning' by Michel Jules Alfred Bréal presented the text's first appearance in English.
Cust exhibited her sculpture at the Royal Academy in 1906 showing a bust of her niece and in 1927, part of a model of her husband.
By the end of the abbacy of Berchtold von Falkenstein (died 10 June 1272), Count Rudolf of Habsburg began to restrict the influence the abbey had on the region of Thurgau.
An election for the successor of Berchtold ended in conflicting results, giving Rudolf the opportunity to seize more influence and become more involved in matters of the abbey (he was crowned king in 1273).
The convent, however, had chosen Heinrich von Wartenberg, whom the citizenry rejected on the grounds of being from the same family as Berchtold.
Additionally, Ulrich was a bad economist who amassed a large amount of debt for the city, in large parts due to his warring efforts against Heinrich von Wartenberg.
The Abbey's economic standing did not improve, however, as Rumo had to sell many treasures to pay the amassed debt and was generally seen as inept.
he was elected abbot from the dynasty of the counts of Montfort, which was hostile towards the abbey during Berchtold's abbacy and sided with Ulrich during the time of double rule.
While the spreading influence of the Montforts from the Rheintal to the Argengau had been a point of contention between the house and the convent, the electorate now sought to use the name of the counts for their own benefit.
Ulrich had influential secular brothers who boosted his election, among which were Rudolf I von Montfort, Ulrich I von Montfort as well as the later bishop of Chur, Friedrich von Montfort.
Wilhelm was forced to interrupt his first visit at the royal court in Augsburg abrubtly in December 1282 to avoid further impositions from the king.
Inhabitants of the abbey were so unhappy with Wilhelm's savings policy and his orders that every monk should be ordained priest, that they lodged a complaint at the royal court.
Their accusations were backed by the court and in 1287, Rudolf constricted Saint Gall's access to secular goods and used his influence on a papal legate to impose an anathema on Wilhelm.
However, when Wilhelm visited the king to finalise the peace, the agreement fell through and Rudolf forced Wilhelm to make further concessions towards the king's sons Albert I and Rudolf II.
When the ruling that Wilhelm was to be excommunicated was finalised, the king, followed by his sons Albert and Rudolf, appointed the abbot of Kempten, Konrad von Gundelfingen to be anti-abbot.
Bishop Friedrich was captured in a battle and died in 1290 when he attempted to escape from Werdenberg castle, which was controlled by Hugo von Montfort, who was on the king's side.
On the 25 July that same year, the citizens of the city of St. Gall, who had remained loyal to Wilhelm, reinstated him as the only legitimate abbot.
Wilhelm, along with other enemies of the late king, joined an alliance against count Albert which was being assembled by bishop Rudolf von Konstanz.
Albert was largely victorious, but Ulrich von Ramschwag's sons – Ulrich himself had been driven out of the city when Wilhelm returned – suffered a major defeat outside the city of St. Gall on the 15 February 1292.
In 1296, Wilhelm travelled to Austria to negotiate a peace treaty but had to leave without satisfying the wishes and hopes of everybody in St. Gall.
When a feud broke out between Albert and King Adolf of Germany, who was Rudolf I's successor, Wilhelm joined forces with the new king, as he had shown himself to be beneficial towards St. Gall.
After being granted assurances in the treaty of Schletstatt of 1 September 1297, the abbot consulted with King Adolf for the first time in the vicinity of Frankfurt to support him in his campaign against Albert I.
According to the contents of the contract, the implementation of which would be delayed and never completely finalised, the castle and the city of Schwarzenbach should have been broken broken up and the city of Wil would have been completely restored.
Adelaida Negri (December 11, 1950 – August 17, 2019) was an Argentinian opera soprano who recorded and performed at leading opera houses.
With the gold medal she was awarded by the Instituto Superior de Arte del Colón, the British Council helped fund her further study at the London Opera Centre.
She appeared in Don Carlo, Madama Butterfly, Aida, Macbeth, Mefistofele, La vida breve and Proserpina and in the premiere of Antígona Vélez, but her debut was at the Teatro Colon where had initially trained.
She became known for her roles in operas by Verdi and Puccini, but she was known for finding minor works by other composers.
She made her base in Europe where she was appearing in the major operas houses in Western Europe, but rarely in London.
Warner Brothers Pictures Inc v Nelson [1937] 1 KB 209 was a judicial decision of the English courts relating to the contract of employment between the actor, Bette Davis (who was sued under her married name) and Warner Bros.
The court upheld the contract, effectively forcing the actor to return to the United States to continue making films for Warner Bros. and complete the term of her contract.
She signed a contract with Warner Bros. which was expressed to last for 52 weeks, but which was renewable for a further 52 weeks at the option of Warner Bros.
Under the terms of that contract she was exclusively contracted to Warners Bros. and was precluded from performing for any other person.
Convinced that her career was being damaged by a succession of mediocre films, Davis accepted an offer in 1936 to appear in two films in Britain.
Knowing that she was breaching her contract with Warner Bros., she fled to Canada to avoid legal papers being served on her in the United States.
After outlining the facts, the court noted that this was the second such contract that Mrs Nelson (as she was referred to in the judgment) had signed, and that it was at considerably increased remuneration, and that the rate of remuneration increased with each passing week under the terms of the contract.
The contract also contained a provision that if Mrs Nelson refused to perform for any period, then the period of the contract was extended for a like period (clause 23).
The court noted that it had been heavily argued by her counsel that this was restraint of trade, although this has not been argued in the pleadings.
Having decided that the court affirmed it usual practice - that it would not order specific performance of a personal service.
The court then considered at great length the limits of what it could grant either by way of positive or by negative injunction.
Accordingly the court limited itself from injuncting Mrs Nelson from performing those services for any other person in breach of her contract.
The court rejected the argument that, because she could never earn as much doing anything else, this effectively forced her to perform her contract indirectly and was thus contrary to the law.
Reputation Institute is a research and insights company that analyzes the reputation of corporations and places, based on studies of consumer perceptions and media coverage.
It was started by two business school academics, Charles Fombrun and Cees van Riel, in 1999 and is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.
Fombrun and a doctoral student Violina Rindova then organized a conference on corporate reputation at New York University, which was later hosted in subsequent years by other academics and universities.
In 1999, Fombrun and van Riel founded Reputation Institute which took over the organizational responsibility of the annual corporate reputation conference.
The RQ model uses 20 questions analyzed to gather data from members of the public and evaluate the reputations of corporations and organizations.
In the 2015 Country RepTrak, Canada ranked 1st, United States ranked 22nd, and Mexico ranked 37th overall out of the 55 countries evaluated in the study.
In March 2019, Reputation Institute compiled and released the annual Global RepTrak 100 study, a ranking of corporate reputation is calculated after surveying more than 230,000 people from among the general public in 15 countries.
Their origin is uncertain; they may have come from the Upper Veltlin from the village of Mazzo or may have been a sideline of the lords of Tarasp.
For a time the lords of Matsch were one of the most powerful noble families in the Vinschgau and in present day Graubünden.
Commissioned by the wealthy French Jewish banker Louis Cahen d'Anvers in 1880, the painting depicts his daughter Irène Cahen d'Anvers at the age of 8.
In 2014, it appeared in the movie The Monuments Men as one of the pieces of art saved by the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives program.
At the time, for an unknown reason, Louis was so dissatisfied with the painting that he hung it in the servants' quarters and delayed Renoir's payment of 1500 francs.
In 2014, it appeared in the movie The Monuments Men as one of the pieces of art saved by the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives program.
The eldest daughter of the wealthy Jewish French banker Count Louis Cahen d'Anvers, she married Count Moïse de Camondo in 1891.
They separated in August 1897 after her affair with de Camondo's stable master, Count Charles Sampieri, whom she would later marry and divorce.
During World War I Nissim became a fighter pilot of the French Air Force and was killed in action in 1917 over Lorraine.
In 1935, Moïse de Camondo bequeathed his Parisian mansion, at 63 rue de Monceau, including its contents and a major collection of art, to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs to be used to create the Musée Nissim de Camondo in honour of his and Irène's son.
During World War II, Béatrice, her ex-husband and their two children were murdered by the Nazis in Auschwitz because of their Jewish ancestry.
Irène also had a daughter with Sampieri, Claude, who would marry the French fighter ace and race car driver André Dubonnet.

Hiltbold von Werstein (* before 1250; † 13 December 1329) was abbot of the Abbey of Saint Gall from 1318 until 1329 and in his capacity as domkustos also librarian of the Abbey Library.
He did, however, get closer to the Habsburg party and received an assurance of assistance from Duke Leopold, documented in a treaty from the 30 June 1319.
A document from 15 November 1323 reports the negotiations about a border dispute between Appenzell and Hundwil for which Hiltbold acted as mediator.
It is also recorded that on 27 November 1325, Leopold of Austria arranged a settlement for a dispute with the family of Toggenburg in which the abbot was implicated against his will.
Kuchimeister reports that Hiltbold spent the rest of his days after his abdication plagued by old age in Falkenstein Castle and subsequently Appenzell Castle.
He was compelled by his old age to entrust his seal with a conventual, a ministerialis and a citizen, who took over his administerial functions by the end of 1325 or the beginning of 1326.

She was best known for her efforts to reform the American educational system in order to provide equity for women and African Americans, as well as facilitating the transfer of the Manhattanville College campus from New York City to Purchase, New York.
The values of religion and civic engagement were instilled in her from a young age, as her father, a prominent Savannah lawyer, was a member of such organizations as the American Irish Historical Society and the Knights of Columbus, as well as vice president of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, and president of the Female Orphans Benevolent Society.
Her mother died in 1903, and her father eventually remarried to Sara Lorene Wren, who happened to be a Manhattanville alumna from the class of 1900.
The following year, she became a member of the Society of the Sacred Heart, and after doing her noviceship at Kenwood Convent, she took her vows on December 8, 1918.
She got her first job out of college as the Directress of Studies at Convent of the Sacred Heart, Overbrook, which is now known as Sacred Heart Academy Bryn Mawr, from 1924 to 1928.
She then got another Bachelor’s degree from Oxford in 1933, and was subsequently employed at Manhattanville College as a history professor for the 1933-1934 school year.
O’Byrne was Manhattanville College’s president from 1945 to 1966, appointed as such after the unexpected death of her predecessor, Mother Grace Damman.
During her tenure as president, she tripled the worth of the school to $19.1 million, and increased alumni contributions from $65,000 in 1945 to $169,050 in 1965.
Additionally, she doubled the amount of faculty and increased the school’s enrollment from 399 students in her first year to 935 in her final.
City College was struggling to keep up with a boom of new students in the wake of World War II, and requested permission to take over Manhattanville’s campus on September 15, 1949.
Manhattanville got a new piece of land, the estate of Whitelaw Reid, a diplomat, that was located in Purchase, New York.
The old Manhattanville campus was officially absorbed by City College on October 27, 1951 by the City of New York’s right of eminent domain.
On August 28, 1963, she led two professors and six students from Manhattanville College to Washington D.C. in order to participate in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
She created and was a part of many organizations, like the Department of Education and New York state committees, the American Association of University Women, the College Entrance Examination Board, and White House Conference on Civil Rights, working in close proximity to political leaders like Robert F. Kennedy and Nelson Rockefeller.
She made great strides for equality on a plethora of boards and committees, however, she was most proud of her efforts to aid the African American community.
In 1953, she started to try and convince the Association of American Colleges to make scholarships and fellowships open to black students.
She was also a director of Catholic Scholarships for Negroes Inc., a member of the United Negro College Fund, on the advisory committee of the John La Farge Institute, and advised the National Scholarship Service and Fund for Negro Students.
She was also awarded the Award of Palmes Academiques from France’s government as a form of recognition for how she had contributed to education in 1966.
Although she was no longer Manhattanville’s president, she did not cease her advocacy work, nor did she lose her sense of humor.
She continued to serve on New York Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller’s Commission on the Education and Employment of Women from 1963 to 1970, after which she began a more isolated retirement at Kenwood Convent, during which she worked on a classified educational project.

The Trinity Building, designed by Francis H. Kimball and built in 1905, with an addition of 1907, and Kimball's United States Realty Building of 1907, located respectively at 111 and 115 Broadway in Manhattan's Financial District, are among the first Gothic-inspired skyscrapers in New York, and both are New York City designated landmarks.
The Trinity Building, adjacent to the churchyard of Richard Upjohn's neo-Gothic Trinity Church, replaced an 1853 Upjohn structure of the same name.
Earlier, the Van Cortlandt sugar house stood on the west end of the plot – a notorious British prison where American soldiers were held during the Revolutionary War.
The Van Cortlandt sugar house, on the southeast corner of Thames Street and Trinity Place, adjoining Trinity Churchyard, was demolished in 1852.
The sugar house occupied the western end of a narrow strip of land bordering the churchyard, measuring 40 feet on Broadway, 46 feet on Trinity Place, 259 feet along the graveyard, and 263 feet on Thames Street.
It was a frame structure, said to be favored by the clerks and traveling salesmen in the dry goods trade, which centered in that neighborhood at the time.
Claflin, together with associates, replaced the sugar house and hotel with a new building, huge for its time, occupying the entire strip: five neo-Romanesque stories of yellowish brick with terracotta trim, except the basement, which was cut brownstone.
The basement was below Broadway but above Trinity Place, owing to the land slope, and was completely given over to the dry goods store of Claflin, Mellin & Company.
Richard Upjohn moved his office into the building and in 1857 was one of the founders of the American Institute of Architects, which was established there.
The real estate business of Peter F. Meyer & Co. – Richard Croker and Peter F. Meyer – had offices in the building almost continuously for 43 years.
When the building was finally emptied on April 30, 1903, a list of individuals and firms was published with their new addresses; it comprised more than 130 names, mostly lawyers and real estate businesses.
In 1901 Harry S. Black, who had just taken over the George A. Fuller Company from his late father-in-law, established the United States Realty and Construction Company, a powerhouse development organization with some of the biggest names in New York real estate, including Robert Dowling, Henry Morgenthau, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Charles F. Hoffman.
It then acquired a large percentage of the George A. Fuller Company (general contractor for these commissions), and the well-established New York Realty Corporation, among other holdings.
The corporation was formed to combine three functions: to purchase real estate for investment and sale, to erect buildings through the George A. Fuller Company, and to raise capital to do both.
But acquisition delays held that project up, and U. S. Realty went ahead with a 21-story building on the site of the Trinity Building itself, 40 feet wide and 290 feet high.
The north wall of the Trinity Building was left in utilitarian brick, so the building could be expanded They were actually built two years apart and not as identical structures.
To attain maximum exposure to light for both skyscrapers with a minimum of interior offices, it was planned that the buildings would be erected on equal, full-block sites.
To secure equal sites, however, municipal consent was needed to move the existing Thames Street approximately twenty-eight feet to the north, and to permanently close the south half of two-block-long Temple Street, which originally ran between Thames and Liberty Streets, bisecting the site of the U.S. Realty Building.
The commission for the design of both was given to Francis H. Kimball, a devoted and prolific Gothic Revivalist who was an early advocate of Neo-Gothic style for office buildings.
Trinity's dimensions are roughly 69 feet on Broadway, 74 feet on Trinity Place, 260 feet along the churchyard, and 264 feet along Thames Street.
The basements are clad in granite, and above them the curtain wall is Indiana limestone richly ornamented with a wide variety of gargoyles.
The Broadway elevations of the 1905 building and U.S. Realty are each symmetrical and identical in design except the former is narrower.
In 1912, a copper-clad addition was erected on a portion of the roof of the U.S. Realty Building as a second story for the new Lawyers Club.
Kimball had developed a technique in the 1891–92 iron-and-steel-framed Fifth Avenue Theatre for constructing foundations with concrete cylinders sunk by mechanical means, that was a precursor of the later pneumatic caisson system of skyscraper foundation construction.
The seminal 1893–94 17-story Manhattan Life Insurance Building, by Kimball and his partner at the time, George Kramer Thompson, is credited with being the first skyscraper with a full iron and steel frame, set on pneumatic concrete caissons (although the front masonry wall was load-bearing).
The foundations of the 1905 Trinity Building, installed in early 1904, consist of 50 caissons, 32 of wood and 18 of steel.
These caissons were sunk through quicksand to bedrock, an average depth of 80 feet below the curb, and may have been the deepest foundations ever put down in New York to that time.
The caissons and columns forming the north wall were designed in anticipation of the extension, in order to obviate the construction of a new line of caissons for it.
This foundation and the extension of Trinity were commenced in June 1906 and practically finished in August – 60 days – an unparalleled achievement.
Not only did these two buildings set world records for rapidity of construction, but they were also considered to be the costliest business structures ever, together totaling $15 million, including land.
For decades after 1907, of the four large facades only one was visible from a distance of more than 34 feet: the south side of the Trinity Building, lining the open churchyard.
In the early 1970s, however, those buildings were demolished and replaced by Zuccotti Park (then called Liberty Plaza Park), making 115 Broadway as visually prominent as 111.
Matafia Šeinbergas (also Matafia Šembergas or Matafia Scheinberg; 17 November 1909 — 11 September 2002) was a Lithuanian chess player, medical scientist (immunologist, microbiologist, virologist), and the father of Isai Scheinberg, founder of PokerStars.
In 1927, Šeinbergas participated in six player double round robin chess tournament in Kaunas, the winner of which won the right to play a match with Aleksandras Machtas, the chess champion of Kaunas city.
After the disintegration of the Republican army at the beginning of 1939, Šeinbergas was interned in camps for defeated Spanish Republicans in France.
Šeinbergas also continued his education, successfully defending his Doctor of Sciences thesis, on the role of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus in prenatal human pathology, in 1980, at the age of 71.
A total of 36 teams will compete in the group stage to decide the 11 places in the knockout stage of the 2020 AFC Cup.
The draw for the group stage was held on 10 December 2019, 14:00 MYT (), at the AFC House in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The 36 teams were drawn into nine groups of four: three groups each in the West Asia Zone (Groups A–C) and the ASEAN Zone (Groups F–H), and one group each in the Central Asia Zone (Group D), the South Asia Zone (Group E), and the East Asia Zone (Group I).
The following 36 teams enter into the group stage draw, which include the 29 direct entrants and the seven winners of the play-off round of the qualifying play-offs, whose identity was not known at the time of the draw.
In the event that a group contains only three teams, it may be played on a double round-robin basis hosted by two of the teams if at least two of the three teams agree to this format (Regulations Article 10.1.7).

18-6135, is a pending case of the United States Supreme Court in which the justices will consider whether or not the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution allowed states to legislatively abolish the Insanity defense in criminal cases.
The codification of the M'Naghten rules, which have been referenced in one form or another in US law as well as UK law, indicates that someone may be found not guilty of a crime because of a mental condition which prevents them from either controlling their actions or from knowing whether their actions were right or wrong.
Instead, defendants suffering from mental illness were only permitted to argue that their mental illness prevent them from forming the specific intent (or mens rea) needed to commit the crime.
Case Two: The defendant, due to insanity, believes that a wolf, a supernatural figure, has ordered him to kill the victim.
In Case One, the defendant does not know he has killed a human being, and his insanity negates a mental element necessary to commit the crime.
In Case Two, the defendant has intentionally killed a victim whom he knows is a human being; he possesses the necessary mens rea.
In both cases the defendant is unable, due to insanity, to appreciate the true quality of his act, and therefore unable to perceive that it is wrong.
But … the defendant in Case One could defend the charge by arguing that he lacked the mens rea, whereas the defendant in Case Two would not be able to raise a defense based on his mental illness.
In late 2009, James Kahler was arrested and charged with four counts of first-degree murder with the murder of four members of his family: his ex-wife, his wife's grandmother, and his two teenage daughters.
At the time of the murder, they asserted that he suffered from depression and had a obsessive-compulsive, narcissistic, and histrionic personality.
The prosecution's psychiatrist conceded that Kahler indeed suffered from clinical depression but argued that he was still capable of planning the murders.
Accordingly, Kahler appealed his case to the Kansas Supreme Court, raising ten issues related to the conduct of the trial and actions taken by the judge and prosecutor.
The same arguments made by Kahler were considered and rejected by this court in State v. Bethel, 275 Kan. 456, 66 P.3d 840 (2003).
The Bethel court conducted a thorough review of the pertinent decisions of the United States Supreme Court and other states that had considered the issue.
275 Kan. at 473; see State v. Searcy, 118 Idaho 632, 798 P.2d 914 (1990) (finding mens rea approach of state statute did not violate due process); State v. Korell, 213 Mont.
Kahler relies on Finger v. State, 117 Nev. 548, 569, 27 P.3d 66 (2001), in which the Nevada Supreme Court held legal insanity is a fundamental principle of the criminal law of this country.
But the Bethel court considered and rejected the reasoning of the Nevada Supreme Court in Finger, and we adhere to our Bethel decision.
The Kansas Supreme Court acknowledged that the judge had made errors in handling the case but did not deem these errors significant enough to warrant a new trial or to vacate Kahler's convictions or sentences.
At issue in the case is whether the lack of an insanity defense violates the due process clause of the 14th Amendment and 8th Amendment.
Sarah Schrup, the head of the Northwestern University School of Law Supreme Court practicum, argued the case before the Court on behalf of Kahler.
Kahler's argument is that the M'naghten rule represents the codification of a legal concept that goes back all the way to Medieval common law and should be considered part of the due process of law.
His argument asserts that, for centuries, defendants were held culpable only when they were able to distinguish between right and wrong and that people who were legally insane did not have the capacity to do so.
The state's argument emphasized the importance of federalism, allowing states the autonomy to make their own laws within the framework of the state and federal constitutions.
The state also noted that the definition of insanity has varied in different ways throughout history and that one version (the M'naghten rule) should not be viewed as an inherent aspect of due process.

As a last option to the disputed 1974 election, John A. Durkin petitioned the Senate, which had a 60-vote Democratic majority, to review the case, based on the that each house of Congress is the final arbiter of elections to that body.
On January 13, 1975, the day before the new Congress convened, the Senate Rules Committee tried unsuccessfully to resolve the matter.
Composed of five Democrats and three Republicans, the Rules Committee deadlocked 4–4 on a proposal to seat Wyman pending further review.
The full Senate took up the case on January 14, with Wyman and Durkin seated at separate tables at the rear of the chamber.
Soon, the matter was returned to the Rules Committee, which created a special staff panel to examine 3,500 questionable ballots that had been shipped to Washington.
Following this review, the Rules Committee sent a report of 35 disputed points in the election to the full Senate, which spent the next six weeks debating the issue, but resolved only one of the 35 points in dispute.
Durkin initially refused, but then on July 29, reversed his earlier position, and announced to a New Hampshire television audience his intention to agree to the new election.
The next morning, July 30, he reported this change to the Democratic leadership, thus relieving the Senate from further deliberations on the topic.

Rudolf III von Montfort (* between 1260 and 1275; † 27 or 28 March 1334 in Arbon) was bishop of Chur (1322–1325) and Konstanz (1322–1334).
Rudolf was the son of Rudolf II († 1302), Count of Montfort-Feldkirch, a collateral line of the County palatines of Tübingen.
After the early death of their brother Hugo IV († 1310), Rudolf and his younger brother Ulrich II – himself a cleric († 1350) – became regents for their underage nephews.
Rudolf's clerical career was largely similar to his uncle Friedrich von Montfort's († 1290): He became canon in 1283 and provost in Chur in 1307.
After the death of Chur's bishop Siegfried von Gelnhausen († 1321), Rudolf was appointed his successor and took office on 19 July 1322.
He retained the position in Chur as administrator until he was replaced by the Konstanz Canon Johann Pfefferhard on 12 July 1325.
Between 1330 and 1333 he was also administrator of the Abbey of Saint Gall, where some years prior, Rudolf's uncle Wilhelm von Montfort († 1301) had been presiding as prince-abbot between 1281 and 1301.
In the struggle for the throne between Louis the Bavarian and the Habsburg Frederick the Fair, Rudolf and his brother Ulrich sided – against tradition of the counts of Montfort – with Habsburg.
Rudolf was caught in the crossfire when the imperial city of Konstanz sided with King Louis and the king made peace with the Habsburgs.
In 1333, the pope placed an anathema on him and lifted him from his administrative position in the abbey of Saint Gall.

With a difference of , the Jacob River flows southerly in a forest zone between the Snigole River (West side) and the Comporté River (East side).
After several rounds of rapids, waterfalls and falls in the forest area, the Jacob River flows into the Malbaie River in front of downtown Clermont.
This small forest valley is mostly accessible in its lower part by the Marais road which goes to the North, and in its upper part by a secondary forest road serving the west bank of the river.
This lake is enclosed by mountains with a peak of in the east, in the southwest, and another of to the northwest.
For regulatory purposes, a low-capacity dam owned by the Government of Quebec was erected on the Jacob River upstream of the mouth of the Jacob River.
The confluence of the Jacob River is located opposite a municipal park in downtown Clermont, at downstream of the dam which creates a widening of the Malbaie River and a hundred meters upstream from the railway bridge over the Malbaie River in downtown Clermont.

In October 2016, Finn and his handler confronted a youth who was suspected of being armed; both the dog and the police officer were stabbed with a large knife.
On 5 October 2016, Finn's handler, PC Dave Wardell, operating with the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Police Dog Unit, was called to an incident in Stevenage where there was a search for a male suspect, believed to be armed.
After a shouted warning, PC Wardell released Finn and the dog seized the youth's leg as he was attempting to escape over a fence.
Falling on the ground together, the suspect stabbed the dog in the chest with a large knife, before making a second attack in which he slashed the dog's head and PC Wardell's hand.
When other officers arrived, Finn was taken to a veterinarian and then on to a specialist where he received emergency surgery in which part of his lung was removed.
Finn recovered from the attack and returned to duty eleven weeks later, before retiring due to age, shortly before his eighth birthday in March 2017.
In May 2017 at Stevenage Youth Court, a 16 year-old boy from Lewisham in south London was convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm for the attack on PC Wardell, but could only be convicted of criminal damage for stabbing the dog.
However, PC Wardell's Member of Parliament, Sir Oliver Heald, took the matter further by proposing a private member's bill, the Animal Welfare (Service Animals) Bill, which was debated in the House of Commons on 5 December 2017.
The bill completed all the parliamentary stages and received Royal Assent on 8 April 2019 as the Animal Welfare (Service Animals) Act 2019. and came into force in June 2019.
The railway was, after the Lausanne–Echallens (1873), the Rigi-Scheidegg (1874), the Herisau–Urnäsch (1875) and the Waldenburg (1880) lines, one of the first Swiss narrow gauge railways and served as a model for many similar operations.
A very high level of performance was required for the steam locomotives as the line had gradients of up to 4.0 percent.
The electric supply to the catenary of the two lines was carried out through a substation in Tramelan, which was equipped with backup batteries.
The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 led to increased traffic at the TBN and led to financial relief.
TT and the TBN, which opened in 1913, formed a joint operating arrangement and operated the line with the electric rolling stock running through from Tavannes to Le Noirmont.
The Saignelégier-La Chaux-de-Fonds Railway (SC) continued to use steam locomotives on the line from Le Noirmont to La Chaux-de-Fonds which made through running difficult.
Since 1 May 1921, standard gauge freight cars have been loaded on transporter wagons in Tavannes, so that they can be carried on the narrow gauge line to Le Noirmont.
On 1 January 1927, the two electrically operated railways TT and TBN, which previously formed a joint venture, joined together to form the Tavannes–Le Noirmont Railway (CTN).
The Tavannes–Noirmont Railway was merged on 1 January 1944 with the SC and two standard gauge railways, the Régional Saignelégier–Glovelier (RSG) and the Régional Porrentruy–Bonfol (RPB) to form the Chemins de fer du Jura (CJ).
With the merger of the four railway companies in the then Bernese Jura, the foundation was laid for a comprehensive technical renovation.
A train carrying railway staff crashed into a train carrying train axles at Orange between Tramelan and Tavannes on 27 October 1953.
A depot in Tramelan, where the workshop for all CJ vehicles is located, is used to maintain rolling stock used in regular traffic.
After Tramelan station, the line climbs at 5.0 percent on a winding route to the hamlet of Les Reussilles where the Franches-Montagnes plateau starts.
The line then passes through a tight right-hander and reaches the halt of Les Breuleux-Eglise, the highest point of the line.
After passing through beautiful forests and pastures, the line descends on a grade of 4.4 percent to reach Le Noirmont, where the narrow-gauge line from Saignelégier enters the station from the right.

Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, a second lieutenant in the Royal Saudi Air Force, was participating in a training program sponsored by the Pentagon as part of a security cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia.
A Department of Defense official stated that more than 850 Saudi nationals are in the U.S. participating in the training program, which includes English, basic aviation, and initial pilot training.
Saudi Arabia is one of many countries allied to the United States that send members of their military to the naval station for training.
Prior to the attack, at 6:39 a.m. a message on Twitter was posted by a user using the handle @M7MD_SHAMRANI, which declared hate for Americans due to its support of Israel.
when the suspect, armed with a 9mm Glock handgun and several extra magazines, opened fire in one of the classroom buildings.
One of the victims was able to make his way away from the scene to alert the first response team of the location of the shooter amongst other details.
The outside of the building was videotaped by another Saudi student while the shooting was occurring, as two additional Saudi students watched the shooting from a car.
The student who was filming, and the other two students, had attended a dinner party hosted by the perpetrator prior to the attack.
The shooter killed three U.S. Navy sailors, and injured eight others who were taken to the hospital, including the two deputies who sustained gunshots to their limbs.
Of the deceased, two were declared dead at the navy base and the third, who was able to get to authorities and give them a description of the shooter, died at the hospital.
The three victims who died from their injuries were a 19-year-old airman from St. Petersburg, Florida; a 23-year-old ensign and recent graduate of the United States Naval Academy from Coffee, Alabama; and a 21-year-old airman apprentice from Richmond Hill, Georgia.
The FBI identified the gunman as Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, 21, a second lieutenant in the Royal Saudi Air Force, and said he was the sole shooter.
His training with the program began in August 2017 and was scheduled to conclude in August 2020, and included initial pilot training, basic aviation, and English-language instruction.
SITE Intelligence Group said that someone who may have been Alshamrani posted a justification of the planned attack on Twitter before the shooting.
The post referred to U.S. wars in Muslim countries, wrote of his hatred for the American people, criticized Washington’s support of Israel, and quoted Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki.
Prior to the shooting, the perpetrator had hosted a dinner party at which he and three other Saudi students had watched videos of other US mass shootings.

Ivan Ilich Dolgikh () (1904 – 1 October 1961) was a Soviet police officer, a notorious torturer, and the head of the Gulag system of labour camps.
A Russian, born in of Oryol Governorate, and educated at Moscow, Dolgikh joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1931, and was appointed a lieutenant in the NKVD in Kharkiv Oblast in February 1936.
Dolgikh was promoted to the rank of Captain in November 1941, and appointed deputy head of the NKVD in Khabarovsk Krai.
In May 1954, he led the commission which opened negotiations with prisoners at the Kengir labour camp, in Kazakhstan, who had revolted and taken control of the camp.
Dolgikh conceded to some minor demands, including the transfer of prison guards who were particularly hated, whilst forbidding food or medicines to be shipped to the camp.
In 1956, shortly after Nikita Khrushchev had denounced the crimes of the Stalin era, in his Secret speech to the 20th Congress of the CPSU.
Dolgikh was found guilty of 'flagrant violations of socialist law', sacked, stripped of his rank, and expelled from the Communist Party.

Jean-Dominique Lebreton obtained a university degree in Mathematics and Physics in 1969, then a Certificate of Master of Mathematics and Fundamental Applications and a Master of Computer Science in 1971.
He obtained his Diploma of Advanced Studies in Applied Biology in 1972, his Doctorate of Specialty in Lyon in 1974 and his Doctor of Science in 1981.
He was Assistant and then Assistant Professor at the University of Lyon before becoming Director of Research at the CNRS (CEFE) in Montpellier in 1990.
Computer scientist and mathematician by training, naturalist by family tradition (younger brother of Philippe Lebreton), Jean-Dominique Lebreton is a biomathematician, mainly specialized in modelling in ecology and population dynamics.
First, it contributed to the launch of matrix models of population dynamics, producing formal sensitivity results and original stochastic generalizations, and applying these models to various vertebrates.
He then demonstrated the key role of generation time in the diversity of demographic strategies and in the sensitivity of populations to demographic impacts.
First, it was necessary to shift their focus from a focus on numbers to estimating individual flows and then to introduce ideas from generalized linear models, thus making it possible to analyze probabilities of survival according to age, gender or environment.
His work, by bridging the gap between capture-recapture models and analysis of variance, has contributed to a real revolution, with a wide range of applications in evolutionary ecology and conservation biology.
In recent years, he has been involved in the development of various types of models in which individuals move between several states, for example, to study dispersion and reproductive achievement.
The development and distribution of flexible and user-friendly software (Biomeco; U-CARE; SURGE, M-SURGE, E-SURGE) to support his team's research production have greatly contributed to this visibility.
The population dynamics workshops he has launched for more than 20 years, after similar workshops in statistical ecology, have brought together hundreds of colleagues, many of whom have remained in contact for data processing, visits to CEFE, or long-term collaborations.

Abu Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ibrahim ibn Zulaq al-Laythi (919–996), commonly known as Ibn Zulaq (or Ibn Zawlaq), was an Egyptian historian, whose work focuses on the local history of Egypt during the Ikhshidid dynasty and the early years of the Fatimid Caliphate there.
Most of his work does not survive directly, but was extensively used and quoted by later historians such as Ibn Sa'id al-Maghribi (13th century), al-Maqrizi (15th century), and Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani (16th century).
His works included a history of the governors and judges of Egypt, which continued the similar work of the 9th-century polymath al-Kindi; a history of the al-Madhara'i family of viziers; and books on the founder of the Ikhshidid dynasty, Muhammad ibn Tughj al-Ikhshid and the Ikhshidid strongman Abu'l-Misk Kafur.
His biography of al-Ikhshid in particular is stated to have been written at the request of his son Abu'l-Hasan Ali ibn al-Ikhshid () at the beginning of his reign.
Along with the numerous details that indicate inside knowledge, this shows that Ibn Zulaq was closely associated with the ruling circles of Egypt at the time.
Ali richly rewarded Ibn Zulaq for his work, and it appears that he earned further commissions by other high-ranking members of the Ikhshidid elites for writing panegyrics for them.
Following the Fatimid conquest of Egypt in 969, like many reading figures of the Ikhshidid regime, Ibn Zulaq readily accommodated himself to the new regime, and retained his access to the circles of power, from the Caliph al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah () to the vizier Ibn Killis.
Nevertheless, almost no other contemporary work survives that might be used to check his work against, and while the accounts of the 14th-century historians Baybars al-Mansuri and al-Nuwayri corroborate some of his information, it is unclear whether they too have not used Ibn Zulaq as a source.

Henri Claude Fertet (1926–1943) was a French schoolboy and resistance fighter who was executed by the German occupying forces during World War II.
He is known for the letter he wrote to his parents on the morning of his execution, and he has become one of those who symbolise the French Resistance.
During the school summer holidays of 1942, he joined a Resistance group in Larnod (near Besançon) led by Marcel Simon, a 22-year-old farmer.
Fertet took part in three of them: on 16 April 1943, a night attack on an explosives depot at ; on 7 May, the destruction of a high-tension electricity pylon near Châteaufarine; and on 12 June, an attack by him and Marcel Reddet on a German customs officer to steal his weapon, uniform, and papers.
Fertet shot and fatally wounded the officer, but the unexpected arrival of a motorcyclist meant that Fertet and Reddet failed to seize the documents.
Despite the able advocacy of their lawyers, Paul Koch and Fernand Mouquin, seventeen of them were sentenced to death as terrorists on 18 September.
After the war, Fertet's body was exhumed and cremated; his ashes and those of his father, who had died in the meantime, were scattered at Sermoyer, Ain.
General de Gaulle (leader of the Free French Forces, later founding president of the French Fifth Republic) cited it as a model of the courage of French youth during World War II.
On 5 June 2019, French president Emmanuel Macron read extracts from it aloud, in French, at a 75th-anniversary commemoration of the Normandy landings, in Portsmouth, England, one of the embarcation ports.

She said that it was a purely political action, in face of Mr. Asquith’s broken pledge and the insult he put upon women by bringing in a Manhood Suffrage Bill in response to women’s demand.
On 7 March 1912: 'On Thursday afternoon Miss Caroline Downing was recalled and charged with breaking windows value £50 at 221, Regent Street.
She said it was part of a political protest for a purely political motive for gaining votes for women; this violence was as repellant to them as to the Government, but they were compelled to take these methods.
Mrs. Bowen, with whom I was in constant companionship during the whole of the time (both hunger strikes), suffered greatly both from the pain in the nostrils and throat and in the stomach, though she was quite passive.
The underground cells are dreadfully cold and damp, so cold that I have scarcely ever been really warm all these months.
I have worn winter things and furs and shawl up to Saturday, and till the last ten days have had broken chilblains on my hands.
For the last sixteen days we were given proper bedsteads in response to our complaints.’ Downing was awarded a Hunger Strike Medal, dated 1 March 1912, 'for Valour', which was exhibited in the 'Women's Place in Parliament Exhibition at the Palace of Westminster during the centenary year after (some) women were given the right to vote in British elections.

The Pratt & Whitney XA101 is a three-stream adaptive cycle engine demonstrator being developed by Pratt & Whitney (GE) for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning and for the U.S. Air Force's sixth generation fighter program.
The three-stream adaptive cycle design can direct air to the bypass third stream for increased fuel efficiency and cooling or to the core and fan streams for additional thrust and performance.
The U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy began pursuing adaptive cycle engine in 2007 with the Adaptive Versatile Engine Technology (ADVENT) program, a part of the larger Versatile Affordable Advanced Turbine Engine (VAATE) program.
While not involved with ADVENT, Pratt & Whitney was selected alongside General Electric for the Adaptive Engine Technology Demonstrator (AETD) program that followed in 2012; this program continued to mature the technology, with tests performed using demonstrator engines.
The next step, the Adaptive Engine Transition Program (AETP), was launched in 2016 to develop and test adaptive engines for sixth generation fighter propulsion as well as potential re-engining of the F-35 from the existing F135 turbofan engine.
Further contract awards and modifications in 2018 increased the focus on re-engining of the F-35; there has also been investigations on applying the technology in upgrades for F-15, F-16, and F-22 propulsion systems.
In June 2018, Pratt & Whitney changed its development plan for the F135, and instead offered an adaptive three-stream fan as Growth Option 2.0 that's separate from the XA101, which would instead have a new engine core.
The XA101 is a three-stream adaptive cycle engine that can adjust the bypass ratio and fan pressure to increase fuel efficiency or thrust, depending on the scenario.
It does this by employing a third bypass stream where the engine can direct air to in order to increase fuel economy and act as a heat sink for cooling; in particular, this would enable greater use of the high speed, low altitude part of the F-35 envelope.
When additional thrust is needed, the air from the third stream can be directed into the core and fan streams for increased performance.
After winning the Intercollegiate championship in 1908, Yale wasn't able to sustain their high level of play and started the season flat, losing five of their first six games.

Adath Israel traces its history to March 1936 when ten local businessmen founded the Main Line Hebrew Association, the Main Line's first Jewish congregation.
Temple Adath Israel was chartered in 1946 and held its first congregational meeting on September 29, 1946 at 515 Lancaster Avenue in Haverford, Pennsylvania where it also held its first services.
The congregation rented space in the Ardmore YMCA building, the Ardmore Women's Club building, and in rooms on the campuses of Haverford College and Bryn Mawr College.
Adath Israel continued to grow and the congregation purchased seven acres at Old Lancaster Road and Highland Avenue in Merion in 1953 on the former site of Rose Hill, the estate owned by Charles Elmer Hires.
Solicitor General of the United States Simon Sobeloff presided over the laying of the building's cornerstone on June 13, 1954 and Rabbi Theodore Gordon of Main Line Reform Temple delivered the invocation.
The congregation constructed and opened its Ralph Bodek Chapel, 900-seat Meyers Girsh Auditorium and 23-classroom educational building in time for the High Holidays that year.
Philadelphia mayor Richard Dilworth spoke at the ceremony, and was joined by former Senator Herbert H. Lehman and Governor Theodore McKeldin of Maryland.
The new George Friedland sanctuary sat 1400 and was dedicated on September 11, 1959, along with the Charles Tabas Auditorium and six additional classrooms.
The sanctuary features a rooftop cupola and a 12-sided structure as the centerpiece and symbolizes the 12 tribes of Israel that rises 36-feet above the sanctuary.

50-Minute Fun Break, released in 1992, is the fourth studio album by the collegiate comedy a cappella group the Stanford Fleet Street Singers.
The album was generally well-received, with critics noting its new style of studio engineering, the group's original songs, and 3D-modeled computer-generated cover art.
At the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards (CARAs), the album won awards in five categories, a new record for the Awards.
At the turn of the 1990s, through collaborations with Fleet Street and with other Stanford a cappella group the Mendicants, audio engineer Bill Hare had developed new methods for recording a cappella.
Before, a cappella was generally recorded exactly as a listener would perceive a live performance: with two microphones capturing the whole group at once, singing in a room.
Placing all the voices so close to the listener's ear increased the presence of each voice, creating a new sound that would come to define contemporary a cappella recording.

A Methodist following was established in Street in the early 19th-century, with houses licensed in 1806 and 1812 likely to have been used for Methodist worship.
Further houses were licensed until 1839 when the first Wesleyan chapel was built on land donated by Mr. Cyrus Clark in Goswell Road.
When Mr. W. S. Clark gifted a plot of land in Leigh Road, discussions held at the beginning of 1893 resolved to build a new chapel.
Owing to the large cost of the scheme, it was decided to build the chapel and vestry rooms first, with the old chapel to be used as a schoolroom until the new one could be built.
The new chapel and vestry rooms were built by Mr. J. Pursey of Street for an approximate cost of £1,450, with the architects supervising the work.
During his career he twice qualified for the singles main draw of a grand slam tournament, at the 1983 Australian Open and 1984 French Open.
On 30 January 1866 the Queensland Government offered 44 town lots of each in the town of Herbert (as it was then called) at £8 per acre (2 roods being half an acre).
In 1874 it was noted that none of the land sold at Herbert had been developed due to its inaccessability overland to Rockhampton.
Meanwhile Rockhampton (further upstream on the Fitzroy Region) was an important port in Queensland with significant exports rising to approximately £1 million of exports each year by the 1880s and 1890s.
However the Fitzroy River up to Rockhampton was not consistently deep enough with calls to the Queensland Government to dredge the river from at least 1862.
As a consequence larger ships increasingly preferred to remain in Keppel Bay and use lighters to transfer their passengers and cargo up the Fitzroy River.
In 1865 depth soundings at Broadmount established that there was of water even at low tide, sufficient for even the largest ships of that time.
From 1872 there were calls for Herbert/Broadmount to be established as a port connected to Rockhampton by either rail or road.
In 1874 it was suggested that coastal vessels heading north to Cooktown were no longer interested to service Rockhampton and calls made for a wharf to be established at Broadmount.
However, people with vested interests in the success of the town of Rockhampton were concerned that the establishment of a port at Broadmount would create a rival to Rockhampton and in 1877 there was a counter-proposal to establish port facilities at Central Island (probably the now unnamed island at ) downstream of Rockhampton which could easily be linked by road or rail over flat land to Rockhampton.
The merits of the various port proposals and others include ports at Emu Park and a Port Alma scheme on the southern bank of the mouth of the river continued to be debated for some years without any decision being taken.
In December 1893 a committee established by the Rockhampton Chamber of Commerce investigated the matter thoroughly and dismissed all but two proposals, Broadmount and Port Alma, ultimately favouring Port Alma.
However, the construction of North Rockhampton to Emu Park railway line had considerably reduced the distance (and hence the coast) for a railway link to Broadmount compared to Port Alma and the construction of the meatworks at Lakes Creek had created another significant exporter on the northern side of the river.
A Queensland Railways Department report released in October 1895 revealed their concerns about building a railway line to Port Alma over large areas of flood-prone land.
Although the debate continued within the Queensland Parliament, work was already underway on the boring for the wharf at Broadmount by November 1895 and on the detailed survey of the railway route.
In December 1895, the Minister for Railways announced that the cost of constuction of the railway line and wharf was estimated at £5,000.
In January 1896 a provisional hotel licence was issued to Joseph Cunningham who was constructing a hotel on the corner of Wharf and Carl Streets in Broadmount.
On 1 January 1898 railway services commenced on the new branch railway, which opened without any ceremony and despite the wharf still being 10 weeks from completion.
The wharf was still not complete in August 1898 but concerns were already raised that the necessary dredging of the port area had not taken place.
While the railway and the wharf were projects of the Queensland Railways Department, the dredging was the responsibility of the Department of Harbours and Rivers and outside of the Railway Department's control.
Further there was a dispute about which channels should be dredged and whether one channel should be allowed to remain as a S-bend or be straightened (at considerably greater expense), raising concerns about the new port's abilities to accommodate the largest ships.
In October 1897 the wharf was still incomplete and the new dam created to supply the water needed for the railway and to supply the berthed ships remained empty.
By February 1899 the wharf was completed but had no lighting and so could not become operational as the coastal ships would be arriving at night.
However as the heavy rain continued through to the month, the wharves at Rockhampton were flooded and so the coastal steamer Premier was forced to use Broadmount wharf.
Attempting to protect their investment in Broadmount, the government introduced a system of higher freight charges on that line to discourage its use in favour of using Broadmount port.
In 1912 a railway line was built to Port Alma which had better natural deepwater facilities than Broadmount and the Lakes Creek meatworks switched to exporting via Port Alama.

He is known for leading a 1674–1675 expedition to the fjords and channels of Patagonia, participating in the following year in the Antonio de Vea expedition to the same area and for serving as Governor of Chiloé from 1686 to 1688.
Bartolomé Gallardo was one of various sons of Francisco Gallardo and Bartolina Andrade y Oyarzún, both of whom belonged to the upper echelons of Chiloé's colonial society.
Lacking a studies in cartography and being prone to believe whatever indigenous informants told him his contributions to the geography of Patagonia are in hindsight considered of poor quality.
In January 1676 de Vea found out that Cristóbal Talcapillán had fabricated his stories about the presence of Englishmen in the west coast of Patagonia.
In 1814, upon his father's death, he took over as Curator of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux and Professor at the local drawing school.

From 1823 to 1825, he worked for the Musée d'Aquitaine.. For two years, he had a workshop devoted to the creation of carpets and tapestries.
Thirty years later, during his retirement, he wrote a cultural study of Italy; complete with sketches he made during the trip.
In 1838, he resigned his official positions to open a private workshop, but continued to teach drawing at a small school in Bazas.
In the late 1850s the Dutch navy seemed to have a found a suitable model for gunvessels that could be used in the Netherlands as well as in the Dutch East Indies and West Indies.
The reasons given for this apparent change of policy was that the government saw an advantage in lengthening the construction time of ships on the slipway, and that this way the national shipyards could use their supply of wood only suitable for small ships.

Dr Eugenie Hilda Dorothy Cheesmond (13 June 1919 – 11 October 2007) was a psychiatrist with a particular interest in drug addiction who formed the Lifeline charity in 1971.
Then she left South Africa in 1956 at the age of 37, going on to study at Cambridge, England, Berkeley, California and Manchester Universities.
Shortly after completing her studies, Cheesmond left to work in Kenya for 18 months as a 'government general practitioner' in Nairobi which she enjoyed, describing it as 'an entirely non-racial practice'.
Returning to the UK, Cheesmond then worked as a Registrar Psychiatrist at Parkside Hospital, Macclesfield for the Manchester Regional Hospital Board.
Her approach was often unconventional and she clashed with the Hospital Board after she set up a residential facility for treating 12 drug-dependent young people at her home in the hospital grounds.
Cheesmond eventually moved to Rossendale, and worked as a Liaison Medical Organiser for NHS/Social Services at Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale NHS.
After the experience of conflict with the Macclesfield hospital, Cheesmond formed EROS, a charitable organisation working with drug addiction, and in 1971 this became the Lifeline Trust, with support from the Bishop of Manchester and the On The 8th Day Collective.
Despite the problems with the Manchester Hospital Board, Cheesman gained support from local Members of Parliament and local churches to set up a drug-addiction centre.
Lifeline in its early days was described by Rowdy Yates, co-founder and himself a former drug user, as 'a therapeutic soup kitchen' and a 'place to crash' for drug users.
In his Therapeutic Communities Archive tribute to Cheesmond, Yates writes 'she was...a powerful force at a time when many in the medical profession felt that addiction was simply incurable'.
At that point it employed 1,300 workers and provided services for 80,000 people a year, including prisoners in 22 jails and other institutions.
Since 2005 he worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Musicology and Music Pedagogy at the University of Gießen, where he earned his doctorate in 2010 with a thesis on pop music journalism.
After a teaching assignment in Vienna, he was appointed professor for jazz and popular music research at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz in 2016.
The Hui Kālaiʻāina (Hawaiian Political Association) was a political group founded in 1888 to oppose the 1887 Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom, often known as the Bayonet Constitution, and to promote Native Hawaiian leadership in the government.
It and the two organizations of Hui Aloha ʻĀina were active in the opposition to the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the annexation of Hawaii to the United States from 1893 to 1898.
Hui Kālaiʻāina or the Hawaiian Political Association was founded on November 22, 1888 to oppose the 1887 Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom, often known as the Bayonet Constitution, and to promote Native Hawaiian leadership in the government.
The organization elected as its first president John E. Bush, a former royal governor of Kauai and cabinet minister of King Kalākaua.
On the afternoon of January14, 1893, after the prorogation of the legislative session, members of Hui Kālaiʻāina and a delegation of native leaders marched to ʻIolani Palace with a sealed package containing a newly drafted constitution.
According to William DeWitt Alexander, this was pre-planned by the queen to take place while she met with her newly appointed cabinet ministers in the Blue Room of the palace.
However, these ministers, including Samuel Parker, William H. Cornwell, John F. Colburn, and Arthur P. Peterson, were either opposed to or reluctant to support the new constitution.
After a brief transition under the Provisional Government, the oligarchical Republic of Hawaii was established on July4, 1894, with Sanford B. Dole as president.
During this period, the defacto government, which was composed largely of residents of American and European ancestry, sought to annex the islands to the United States against the wishes of the Native Hawaiians who wanted to remain an independent nation ruled by the monarchy.
In anticipation of a new vote on an annexation treaty supported by President William McKinley, Hui Kālaiʻāina and other Hawaiian nationalist groups collected petitions to oppose the treaties ratification in the United States Senate in 1897.
Members of Kālaiʻāina collected 17,000 signatures opposing annexation and asking for the restoration of Queen Liliʻuokalani while Hui Aloha ʻĀina collected over 21,000 signatures across the island chain opposing annexation.
The petitions were presented by a commission of Native Hawaiian delegates consisting of James Keauiluna Kaulia, (president of Hui Aloha ʻĀina), David Kalauokalani (president of Hui Kālaiʻāina), William Auld, and John Richardson to the United States government.
It was decided last minute not to submit the signatures by Hui Kālaiʻāina because it asked for the restoration of the monarchy and the delegations wanted to provide a united message to the United States and did not want to be seen as politically divided.
The petitions collectively were presented as evidence of the strong grassroots opposition of the Hawaiian community to annexation, and the treaty was defeated in the Senate.
However, a year following the defeat of the treaty in the Senate, Hawaii was annexed via the Newlands Resolution, a joint resolution of Congress, in July 1898.

Annunciation House has received international attention and news-coverage as a result of incidents related to the 2014 American immigration crisis, the Trump administration family separation policy, the U.S.-Mexico border crisis, and the National Emergency Concerning the Southern Border of the United States.. As of January 2020, Rubén Garcia has been Director of the shelter for more than 40 years.
The majority of people arriving at Annunciation House come after being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), or the US Border Patrol.
The founding principles included that any services and facilities provided through the shelter would be free, that those involved in the operation of the shelter would be unpaid, and the shelter would rely on donations rather than permanent funding sources.
In the early 1990s, Annunciation House developed a program called the 'Border Awareness Experience' which facilitated encounters between participants, people, and groups on both side of the US-Mexican border.
On February 22nd, 2003, a 19 year-old undocumented person from Mexico who was staying at Annunciation House, Juan Patricio Peraza, was shot and killed near to the shelter by a Border Patrol agent.
At 9:00AM, Juan Patricio Peraza was disposing of trash outside of the shelter when he was stopped and questioned by two uniformed Border Patrol agents.
The incident drew widespread condemnation from civil and religious community leaders, and is frequently cited as an example of the militarization of the US-Mexico border region and the disproportionate use of violence by law enforcement personnel against migrant communities.
As a result of its front-line involvement in providing shelter and resources to migrants and homeless people in El Paso, the organisation has received national attention from migrant rights groups who have encouraged donations to the organisation, both financially and in the form of voluntary labour.

Kingston upon Thames War Memorial, in the Memorial Garden on Union Street, Kingston upon Thames, London, commemorates the men of the town who died in the First World War.
The memorial includes a bronze statue of a nude warrior, carrying a flaming cross and wielding a sword with which he defends two children from a serpent, erected on a granite plinth, with bronze plaques listing the names of the dead.
It retains close links to its historic county, Surrey, although it is now the administrative centre for the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, a borough of Greater London.
During the First World War, the borough librarian began to maintain a record of the men from the town killed in the conflict and, at the war's end in 1919, the borough corporation determined to commemorate the dead by commissioning a memorial.
After a period of discussion of the nature and site of the memorial, the commission was awarded to Richard Reginald Goulden in 1920.

In addition to the memorials at Kingston and at the Bank of England, Goulden designed at least nine other war memorials in the 1920s, with other examples in or near London including Middlesex Guildhall, St Michael Cornhill, Hornsey and Redhill, and further afield at Brightlingsea, Dover, Malvern, Crompton, and Gateshead.
Five (Crompton, Dover, Kingston, Redhill, and St Michael Cornhill) are listed at Grade II*, and four (Bank of England, Brightlingsea, Gateshead, Malvern) at Grade II.
As with Kingston, many of the memorials feature a bronze figure holding an object aloft, or a man one or two children, or both.
The memorial is topped by a large bronze sculpture, which depicts a nude warrior raising aloft a burning crucifix in his left hand, while his right holds a sword which he uses to strike a serpent.
An earlier example, from 1914, was the memorial to the feminist social reformer Margaret MacDonald at Lincoln's Inn Fields, itself Grade II listed.
The pedestal inscription was revised after the Second World War to include mention of the town's dead from that conflict, but the names of individuals were not inscribed on the memorial.
Burton foundry at Thames Ditton (Goulden had made a bronze memorial sculpture for Burton's daughter Dolly, who died in 1908, which stands in Kingston Cemetery, and is also Grade II listed).

Olive Tree is the most common English name of a new religious movement founded in South Korea by Park Tae Son ().
The movement was originally known in Korea as Jesus Christ Congregation Revival Association of Korea () and later as The Church of Heavenly Father (Cheonbugyo, ).
The Olive Tree is regarded as a cult by mainline Christian denominations in Korea, and it has been argued that combating the Olive Tree was a main reason for the emergence of an organized anti-cult movement in South Korea.
He was raised as a Presbyterian in a poor family, that could only allow him to receive a primary school education.
To improve his lot, he went to Japan, where he worked as a milkman and newsboy during the day and was able to complete Technical High School through evening courses.
According to American anthropologist Felix Moos, Park felt discriminated in Japan as a Korean, which explains why he maintained a strong anti-Japanese orientation in later life.
In 1944, Park returned to Korea, where he started attending a Presbyterian church near Namdaemun gate in Seoul and became a moderately successful businessperson by launching his own Korea Precision Machine Company.
In 1955, he was one of the main preachers at a large Presbyterian revival meeting organized at Namsan Mountain near Seoul.
The incident converted Park into a nationally well-known preacher, and in April 1955 he formed the Jesus Christ Congregation Revival Association of Korea (), originally as part of the Presbyterian Church.
The latter saw it as a potentially schismatic organization, and was suspicious of Park’s claim of supernatural powers and messianic status.
His followers at that time believed he was not God, but the last prophet of God before the millennial kingdom and God’s only authorized spokesperson on Earth.
Although the exact number of followers he gathered is a matter of controversy, Park’s became one of the largest new religious movements in Korea, with perhaps two million members in the mid-1960s.
At the same time, mainline Christian denominations and several Korean media regarded Park’s movement as a cult, indeed Korean’s quintessential cult, and organized against it what was the first embryo of the future large Korean anti-cult movement.
Lee answered that there was indeed in South Korea a problem with cults, but these were the Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Unification Movement founded by Sun Myung Moon rather than his own organization.
Park was arrested for fraud four times, although he initially managed to obtain lenient sentences, according to Moos due to his good relations with president Syngman Rhee, to whom the Olive Tree offered the votes of its followers.
With the decline of Rhee’s power and his eventual exile from Korea, however, Park had to spend longer periods in jail, both for deceiving his followers with false healing claims and defrauding them of their money (which was then not declared to the tax office), and for illegal electoral practices supporting pro-Rhee candidates.
Park was in jail from December 27, 1958 to March 26, 1960, and from January 27, 1961 to January 10, 1962.
The controversies did not initially affect the success of the Olive Tree, which continued to grow and open new churches and other facilities through the 1960s and the 1970s.
The center of its doctrine and worship is the claim that Park is God, indeed the only true God, and that his spirit is present in The Church of Heavenly Father, where it can be perceived through a divine perfume and ectoplasm-like manifestations.
Founders of other successful Korean new religious movements, such as the Victory Altar and Shincheonji, were once members of the Olive Tree, and their theology has been influenced by Park.

A Notification LED is a small RGB or monochrome LED light usually present on the front-facing screen bezel (display side) of smartphones and feature phones whose purpose is to blink or pulse to notify the phone user of missed calls, incoming SMS messages, notifications from other messaging apps etc.
It is a part of the device's notification system that uses a cloud-powered push notification service to relay remote notification messages to the user or local notifications.
In any mobile phone or smartphone, battery life is an important consideration and the display is the component that consumes the maximum battery when it is fully lit up.
In regular usage, a user may only want to briefly turn on his phone to check if anything requires his or her attention.
This way, the whole display does not have to be turned on every time a message arrives, thus saving the battery.
When the user is away from the phone or when the phone is in silent mode, the blinking LED can effectively convey the user that some action is needed.
Conversely, if the light does not blink, then it conveys to the user that there is no unread message or notification that requires his or her attention, again saving battery and the user's time and effort required to unlock the device, and check for new messages.
In some phones, the LED notification light is also sometimes designed to glow red when the battery is low, when the battery is charging and turn green when the battery is fully charged.
While most phones include the notification LED light on the front side, some smartphone manufacturers like LG or Nokia have also integrated it into the power button , while some phones from Motorola, Xiaomi, Razer or ASUS have their brand logo on the back side of the phone, serving as the notification light.
In some Android smartphones, the notification LED light's behavior could be customized per app, so that, each color would indicate a different app.
These smartphones usually had LCD displays, so without the LED present, the entire backlight behind the display would need to be turned on to check for any new notifications.
There is also a focus by smartphone designers to minimize the screen bezels or keep them very thin, thus leaving no room for the notification LED light.
On OLED displays, the Always-On Display (AOD) shows limited information while the phone is asleep, that is, when the entire display is not lit up.
With OLED screens, only a part of the screen, or a few pixels on it can be turned on to convey information.
It can blink or pulse like a light continuously, or some phone manufacturers light up the display's pixels like a ring or have edge lighting.

It seeks to reject a law passed by the Maine Legislature that eliminated most exemptions from state child vaccination requirements, including religious exemptions.
This vote will coincide with the Democratic and Republican primary elections to pledge delegates to party conventions that will choose nominees for President of the United States to run in the U.S. presidential election in November.
Maine Governor Janet Mills signed a law on May 24, 2019 to eliminate philosophical and religious exemptions to state vaccination requirements, citing outbreaks of whooping cough in three Maine counties and low vaccination rates as a need to protect public health and safety.
Opponents of the law gathered and turned in signatures to Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap to force a referendum to reject the law, having over 79,000 valid signatures verified to send the issue to voters, well over the 63,067 required.
While signatures were being gathered, Dunlap's office told organizers of the veto effort that, if qualified for the ballot, the vote would coincide with state legislative and congressional primary elections in June 2020.
However, that guidance failed to take into account the recent change in the law to hold primary elections for presidential nominees, as opposed to a caucus, on Super Tuesday, March 3rd.
Organizers were opposed to this judgement, as without a contested Republican primary to draw Republican voters to the polls(as President Donald Trump is unopposed on the primary ballot in Maine), voters as a whole would skew Democratic.
Dunlap's office admitted to the error of giving incorrect information, but said that it has no discretion over when to schedule elections.

Army Corps was created in Italy on September 28, 1944 by renaming the troops of the Operational Zone of the Adriatic Littoral.
The task of the Corps was to secure the northeastern Adriatic coast against an Allied invasion and to fight against partisans.
In the area of the corps, the coast was fortified with artillery and a line of defense along the Ćićarija plateau between Trieste and Rijeka was formed.
At the beginning of April 1945, the strong Yugoslav 4th Partisan Army advanced swiftly along the Dalmatian coast, heading towards Rijeka and Trieste.
Formed by the merger of the Marrecas and São Francisco rivers, and flowing into the Ivaí River, it is only about 5km long.
Active between 1997 and 2000, mainly around the Świnoujście area, he brutally raped between six and fourteen young girls and women, in addition to killing a female customs officer and another woman.
Tomasz graduated from a vocational school with an unclear specialty, but did not have a permanent job - at some point, he is known to have worked as a cab driver.
Wearing a balaclava to hide his identity and carrying a knife, he would attack young women at different times of the day and locations, threatening them with the knife before sexually assaulting them.
In September 1997, the 40-year-old customs officer had attended a work party, leaving in the early morning in the direction of Świnoujście's center.
Some time later, her body was found by passer-by, hung from an oak tree in a forest near the Polish-German border.
Since her jewelry had been stolen, some investigators considered robbery a possible motive, while others suspected that it was because the nature of her job.
Jolanta had recently helped capture amphetamine smugglers from Poznań, and so, the police investigated several people related to the criminal underworld.
The concerned roommate phoned her boyfriend, who denied meeting her the previous day or being in contact with Aneta at all.
On March 9, Aneta P.'s half-dressed body was found in a post-war bunker near the dunes, where she was supposed to meet her boyfriend.
The autopsy concluded that she had died as a result from these injuries, with only a single drop of semen serving as the evidence to her killer's identity.
On June 17, donning his balaclava and a gun (it was never determined if it was a real or fake one, since police couldn't locate it), he attacked a 19-year-old girl on Świnoujście's dunes, forcing her into intercourse under the threat of the gun.
Less than a week after that, in the Świnoujście Spa Park, Włodarek assaulted two girls - he raped only one, as the other asked him to leave her because she was pregnant.
In order to catch their rapist, authorities set up a special 8-member investigation group, compromised of the Świnoujście Criminal Department and officers from the Criminal Investigations Department in Szczecin.
Due to the high number of possible suspects, police asked for help Dr. Ryszard Pawłowski, a geneticist from the Medical University of Gdańsk.
He used the same DNA tracing methods utilised for the capture of Leszek Pękalski and Krzysztof Gawlik, which revealed that the rapist had an AB blood type, common in only 40% of the Polish population.
From the very beginning, Tomasz Włodarek denied all charges against him, claiming that he had been framed by smuggling groups with whom he allegedly had had a dispute.
However, that was not the end of his court appearances - an assistant professor noticed that his pubic hair connected him to the murder of Jolanta R., as well as the 1997 rape of a 17-year-old girl committed shortly before the former crime.
CBS, Inc vs. FCC (453 US 367) is a 1981 United States Supreme Court decision finding that the Federal Communications Act of 1934 created a new, individual right to broadcast access for candidates for federal office.
Under this decision broadcast media were found to have a obligation to allow any legally qualified federal candidate running for public office to purchase network time under section 312(a)(7) of the 1976 amendment to the Communications Act.
Since the overuse of broadcast frequencies can cause signal interference broadcasting has been regulated since its infancy under the Radio Act of 1927.
The Communications Act of 1934 tried to balance the regulatory goal of using public airwaves to further the public interest against freedom of the press.
under the Campaign Communications Reform Act of 1971 the 1934 law was amended to allow for the revocation of broadcast licenses in cases candidates for federal office were denied reasonable access to the airwaves.
After the three major broadcasting networks denied the Carter-Mondale Presidential Committee (CMPC) the purchase of air time for campaign purposes the FCC determined that the networks had failed to meet the requirements imposed by section 312(a)(7) of the Communications Act.
The Supreme Court found that the right of access as provided for in section 312(a)(7) of the Communications Act did not violate broadcasters' first amendment rights.

Viva la Diva was a concert by Serbian singer Jelena Karleuša performed at the Ušće park in Belgrade, Serbia on June 15, 2013.
It began at 10pm, to ninety minutes of delay due to technical issues, because of which Karleuša wasn't able to showcase production she had prepared, such as pyrotechnics and visuals, which were specially filmed for the evening.
Despite that, the concert enlisted more than 30 choreographies performed by Karleuša alongside 40 dancers, several costumes changes and specially designed scenography.
Afterwards, Kerluša admitted having issues at the concert, but claimed that there were in fact 40,000 people, offering drone footage as evidence.
Eventually, Karleuša settled lawsuits against several media outlets for defamations and organised media lynch, accusing them of purposely targeting her and labelling them as pro-government.

The Spring Valley race riot of 1895 was a violent racial conflict provoked by Eastern and Southern European immigrants against African American coal workers in the mining town of Spring Valley, Illinois.
This conflict was in response to the robbery and shooting of the Italian miner Barney Rollo, who reported he had been attacked by five black men.
As the investigation into the shooting was taking place and several black miners were taken into custody for questioning, a mob began to form.
When the mine manager refused, out of frustration, the white miners' response was one of riot and violence against not only the black miners, but their families as well, forcing them to flee to the nearby town of Princeton.
Census data reflects that 5,436 free African Americans lived in Illinois in 1850, mostly in counties near the Southern border like Madison, St. Clair, and Sangamon.
This dislike culminated in 1853 when the Illinois Black Code, a bill that barred black people from migrating to or living in Illinois for over ten days, was promoted by Illinois Congress Democrat John A. Logan and became law.
Despite the law, the population of free African Americans grew by nearly 71% in a decade, and by 1860, there were 7,628 freedmen in Illinois.
As black workers were typically brought into mining communities as strikebreakers, white and immigrant workers could not reclaim their jobs easily, resulting in labor unrest and sometimes violent, fatal outbursts.
Similarly, in April of 1877, the coal town of Braidwood, Illinois became the site of conflict along racial lines, along with Rapids City in January of 1880 and Vermillion County in July of 1886.
These conflicts largely coincided with the end of Reconstruction and the beginnings of the period of Nadir of American race relations which were largely defined by violence against African Americans.
At the same time, black residents of Bureau County, who composed less than one percent of the total population in the county, began to move to Spring Valley, further supporting this ethnic division between Spring Valley and Princeton.
By 1900, 26 different ethnic groups were represented working in Spring Valley's coal mines, including but not limited to Italian, French, Russian, Belgian, German, Lithuanian, and Polish.
They knew their place in the world at the time, and did little that would suggest they were trying to break out of that place.
The owners of the mines in Spring Valley attempted to prevent unionization for mine workers, and this resulted in tension between the owners and union agitators.
The conflict between the two groups gave rise to a lockout on April 29, 1889, as the owners instructed the workers to stop working.
The UMW instead added barriers to prevent Italian immigrants from joining the union, since union rules stated that officeholders had to speak English, and many Italian immigrants had recently emigrated and spoke very little English.
The favoritism within the union began to play into the mounting conflict between African Americans and Italian workers in Spring Valley.
Tensions continued to rise over the next few hours, with the mob marching to the home of S. M. Dalzell, the local mine manager, and demanding that the African American mine workers be fired in response to the reported attack.
County Sheriff Atherton Clark met with Mayor Delmagro and manager of the Spring Valley Coal Mine Dalzell to inquire about why the mayor cancelled his call for police aid.
The response from Spring Valley's—and Illinois's—African American community was swift, as Chicago community leaders sent a letter to Governor Altgeld, expressing outrage at the lack of safety provided by city and state officials.
However, the governor did not respond until the next morning, where he said that he would not provide troops to aid Spring Valley residents in the aftermath of the riot.
It was resolved that African Americans were to continue seeking refuge in Seatonville, and that a select group would travel to Princeton to grab weapons and supplies for protection.
City officials in Princeton were sympathetic to Spring Valley's African Americans however, in contrast Spring Valley officials tended to support the immigrant rioters.
Although many local leaders leaders in Princeton originally fought this proposition, Delmagro was eventually successful in moving the trial to Spring Valley.
During this era, there were several ethnically based papers in operation and Merithew highlights their contributions during the strike in 1894 and then again during the Spring Valley riot of 1895.
In the days following the riot, Illinois Governor John Peter Altgeld's secretary William F. Dose claimed that the governor had sent Assistant Adjutant General Hugh E. Bayle and George Schilling as his representatives to assess the scene of the riots in Spring Valley.
Armfield argues that Governor Altgeld used his efforts to preserve the interests of the immigrant population in Spring Valley in the events of the riot.
In response to the public outcry against the rioters, approximately twenty-five miners were arrested and charged with rioting and violent criminal activities.
When the trial against the rioters concluded in November, eight men were found guilty of rioting and committing violent criminal activities.
Seven of these men were sent to jail, and one did not serve any time behind bars because he was under 21 years old and could not be arrested under Illinois law.
After the riots ended, the Quinn Chapel committee encouraged the riot victims to file civil suits against Spring Valley in order for them to obtain compensation.
The committee also provided victims with food and urged African Americans to join public organizations so they could properly respond to any riot in the future.
Shortly after the riot, a meeting of about six hundred mine workers, presumed to be part of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), met to take an official position on the events of the riot.
Several miners drafted a statement that they did not condone the actions of the miners involved in the riot, but many disagreed with this stance and exited the meeting, because they feared that African American miners would be allowed back in to Spring Valley.
A vote was held on whether or not to accept the statement that condemned the actions of the rioters as the official stance of the miners, which passed in favor of accepting the statement.
Spring Valley Coal Mine Manager Dalzell and Union leaders James O' Connor and John Mitchell came to an agreement that Dalzell would re-hire workers who were fired amidst the 1894 Coal Mine Strike, and that the UMWA would allow African American workers to return to the mines after the riot.
By 1900, according to that year's census, the county's white population had risen from 34,742 residents to 40,813, whereas the black population rose from 271 residents to only 299.

He made his first mural when he was 17, a depiction of Christ at Gethsemane, in a church in Anacostia, where his grandparents had moved in 1929.
During the 1930s he obtained full time employment first in the Civilian Conservation Corps and then as a laborer at the Washington Navy Yard.
In 1935 he found work at St. Elizabeths Hospital, which, like the Navy Yard, lay not far from his home in Anacostia.
In each of these occupations, he painted when not working and, particularly at St. Elizabeths, was able to sell portraits to some of his fellow workers.
Shown at left is a painting Robinson made in 1946 showing the crowd at the fair, held that year in President's Park (now called Lafayette Square).
Robinson did not court publicity and his financial success was limited by his reluctance to participate in the local art scene through the social functions that brought artists together with collectors and other prospective buyers.
When his paintings began to command high prices he would still sell them for less, saying that a lot of people who admired his work simply could not afford the going rate.
Partly for this reason, his paintings began to sell for much greater sums after his death than they had during his life.
In a 2004 auction one painting brought $9,500 and another sold for $10,000 after a bidding war that set collectors against dealers.
Robinson was a realist who painted the people and places of his family home, his neighborhood, and the city in which he lived.
Critics praised his technique but suggested that he tried to put too much detail into some of his work and in other cases he verged perilously close to sentimentality.
A 1940 painting, Woman Reading a Bible (Maude Jones), shown at left, is considered to be one of Robinson's best portraits.
In 1994 Robinson said he invited her to his house but after she had sat for him several Sundays, she disappeared and he never saw her again.
Robinson was born on February 18, 1912 in a low-income neighborhood of Georgetown, which, due to the presence of Georgetown University, Holy Trinity church, and the Convent of the Visitation, was known as Holy Hill.
His mother having died when he was eight years old and his father having permanently departed, he was taken in and raised by his maternal grandparents, Ignatius Barton and his wife, Anna.
Ignatius (born about 1870) had joined U.S. Army in 1899 and became a Buffalo Soldier in both the 9th and 10th cavalry regiments during the Spanish–American War and subsequent Philippine–American War.
He left active service prior to the outbreak of World War I and subsequently was employed as a night watchman in the an automobile service and storage organization called the Key Bridge Garage located near Georgetown at 1213 Bank Street Northwest, Washington, D.C. Robinson described him as a kind man with a gruff exterior.
Robinson had four siblings, including a sister, Margaret (born about 1915), two brothers, Elgin (born about 1914) and Henery (born about 1917).
In 1924, while still in school, Robinson helped to support his family by sweeping the floor and dusting cars in the evening at the garage where his grandfather worked.
After leaving school he continued evening work at the garage and, during the day, did odd jobs in the city and also caddied at two suburban golf courses: (Congressional and Burning Tree).
In 1929 he stayed with his grandparents when they moved from Holy Hill to a new home they had build on a lot they owned in the Garfield Heights section of Anacostia.
Their children were John N. Jr. (born about 1935), twins: Robert and Roberta (born about 1937), Ronald (born about 1939 and called Pete), and Douglas, Blanche, Betty Anne (all born in 1940 or later).
In 1935, after a brief stint as a laborer at the Navy Yard, Robinson took a job at St. Elizabeths Hospital.
During the late 1930s and early 1940s he took a part-time job making backgrounds for two shops in the Capitol Photo Studios chain.

Ozu was born as Osmar in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and began playing beach soccer aged six on the beaches of Copacabana, growing up playing with future members of the Brazilian national team including Rafinha, Bokinha and Mauricinho.
Aged 10, Ozu's beach soccer school accepted an invite to play an exhibition match before a Brazil match at Copacabana arena which was watched by 5,000 people.
As a child, Ozu played association football including joining Vasco da Gama aged 14 and was scouted on numerous occasions but living minutes from the beach and watching beach soccer regularly on TV was the inspiration for Ozu to decide to pursue becoming a beach soccer professional, aged 16.
Despite having no experience with Japanese culture, he immediately adapted to the way of life and, thanks to his experience of the cordiality of the Japanese people, fell in love with the country.
Ozu subsequently learnt to be fluent in the Japanese language and after five mandatory years of living in Japan, he acquired citizenship on 12 December 2012 and dropped the name of Osmar for Ozu; he was immediately called up to the Japanese national team.

The inaugural Beach Soccer Stars awards in 2014 saw Ozu named as part of the best team of the year, an accomplishment he has achieved again every since bar one as of 2019, cementing his position as one of the world's best players.
2016 saw Ozu branch further into playing for European clubs; he became the second Japanese to play in the Italian National League, for Viareggio, winning Europe's top club prize, the Euro Winners Cup, with the Tuscan side that season.
He has since had spells at FC City and Lokomotiv Moscow of Russia, Sporting CP of Portugal and Falfala Kfar Qassem of Israel.
In 2017, Ozu joined the first J-League club to establish a beach soccer branch, Tokyo Verdy, who he would go on to win multiple JFA League titles with.
He also became an ambassador of the JFA's 'Teacher of Dreams' project, touring schools across Japan, explaining to children how he has overcome problems in his life to achieve the successes in his field.
2019 continued to mark major international landmarks for Ozu as he reached a century of goals scored in a 7–2 win over Uruguay at the World Beach Games and also earned his 100th cap at the Intercontinental Cup a month later.
Despite crucially missing his attempt in the penalty shootout against Portugal in the semi-final, Ozu ultimately inspired Japan to a positive 2019 World Cup performance of fourth place, their joint best ever finish at the World Cup matching 2005, and he also won the prestigious Golden Ball (best player) award at the tournament.

The 2019–20 Colorado drone sightings are a series of widely sighted unidentified drones observed in the skies of northeastern Colorado and western Nebraska between December 2019 and January 2020.
According to witness reports, the drones fly in grid formations in groups of up to 19 drones and are visible at night between 6 and 10 pm.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), FBI, and local law enforcement are investigating the sightings, but have not yet determined the operator of the drones.
One witness in Palisade, Nebraska counted 19 drones at one time, some hovering and others flying in formations in small groups.

Of Wondrous Legends, often abbreviated as O.W.L., is an American psych folk band established in Chicago in 1968 by musician and artist Stephen Titra.
Overlooked at the time, the band's sole self-titled album, recorded in 1971, was rediscovered and reissued in 2008, since when Titra has returned to perform with others as O.W.L..
He played in folk rock bands in the area, including the Uncalled Four and Rhythm's Children, who transformed into the Grateful Dead-influenced band Mountain Bus.
in 1968, and played his songs with bassist Jim Snyder, flautist John Knudson and vibraphonist Al Keeler in clubs in Chicago.
The owner of the Universal Recording Studio, Murray Allen, liked them, and agreed to fund a full album recording at the studio.
A wide variety of instrumentation was used, including keyboards, vibraphone, Moog synthesizer, marimba, cellos, and flute, played by Titra, Snyder, Knudson, and other musicians.
The recordings have led to comparisons being made with music of the same period by Pearls Before Swine, Shawn Phillips, Tim Buckley, and The Moody Blues.
Titra approached several record labels including Elektra, A&M, Capitol, with the suggestion that it be marketed with accompanying art book of Titra's pen-and-ink drawings illustrating each song.

Towards the end of the 19th century, the rights for the exploitation of iron deposits in the municipality of Ojos Negros in Teruel were granted to several Basque businessmen, who subsequently founded Compañía Minera de Sierra Menera on 3 September 1900.
The 200-km long railway line was built in 1903, and at the time of its construction it was the longest private company-owned railway line in Europe.
A need for greater transportation capacity finally led to the closure of line on 29 July 1972 and, following the closure of the ore-processing facilities in Sagunto, the Sierra Menera mining company went bankrupt in 1987.
In 2001, the Valencian Regional Government decided to convert the stretch of the former railway running from Algimia d'Alfara to Barracas into a rail trail.
A similar decision was later taken by the Aragon Regional Government in relation to the stretch of line running within Aragon to the village of Santa Eulalia del Campo.
At the current time, no definitive decision has been taken regarding the conversion of the final stretch of line between Santa Eulalia del Campo and Ojos Negros into a rail trail.
In 2017, the Valencian Regional Government announced plans to connect the Ojos Negros Greenway to the city of Valencia via the extension of the Vía Churra Greenway, which runs from the Valencian capital, to the city of Sagunto and the village of Albalat dels Tarongers The extension project is expected to be finalised in 2020-2021.
Following the Barracas moorlands, the line entered the Sierra Calderona mountain range and commenced a descent of almost 1000 metres to Sagunto, on the Mediterranean coast.
The route of the Ojos Negros rail trail does not follow the former railway in its entirety, mainly as a result of the construction of different buildings and road infrastructure since the closure of the original line.
Ojos Negros I: this section starts in the village of Algimia de Alfara in Valencia and passes through (or close by) the towns of Altura, Segorbe, Jérica, Viver and Caudiel, among others, before finishing in Barracas, the last town in the province of Castellón before entering Teruel.
Ojos Negros II: this section starts in Barracas (Castellón) and passes through the municipalities of Sarrión (known as the world truffle capital), La Puebla de Valverde, Teruel and Cella, among others, before finishing in the village of Santa Eulalia del Campo (Teruel).
It measures 91 kilometres and crosses the highest point on the Ojos Verdes Greenway, Escandón Pass, located at an altitude of 1218 m.a.s.l., and some 15 kilometres outside the town of Teruel.
The route, which alternates stretches of asphalt with stretches of compacted earth and of ballast, passes through five tunnels and crosses 13 viaducts.
Certain of the tunnels along the route are equipped with artificial illumination (permanent or motion-sensor activated), although it is recommended that users (and especially cyclists) carry their own lights.
The Valencian coastline enjoys a typical hot-summer Mediterranean climate, classified as Csa under the Köppen climate classification and characterised by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters with infrequent frosts in inland locations.
The province of Teruel is classified as Bsk under Köppen, denoting a cold semi-arid climate with warm to hot summers and dry, cold winters.
The highest temperature recorded at the Teruel Observatory is 39.3 ºC (August 4, 2007), whilst the lowest is 22.5 ºC (December 26, 2001).
Due to the high summer temperatures in Valencia and the sub-zero temperatures and snowfall often registered in Teruel during the winter, the optimum seasons for completing the route are spring and autumn.
The Ojos Negros greenway does not present any great difficulties for most users given that, in common with most railway lines, the average gradient is 3-5%, and is considered suitable for walkers, cyclists, horse riders and those with disabilities.
There are numerous accommodation options available along the Via Verde de Ojos Negros greenway, ranging from hostals and hotels to campsites, cabins and private houses.
As has been noted, in many stretches the rail trail runs parallel to the main Sagunto - Teruel - Zaragoza railway, which has several stations nearby, including: Sagunto, Segorbe, Barracas, Rubielos de Mora, Mora de Rubielos, Sarrión, La Puebla de Valverde, Puerto de Escandón, Teruel, Cella y Santa Eulalia del Campo.
Additionally, the C-5 line of the Valencia local train service stops in Estivella, Algimia de Alfara, Soneja, Segorbe, Navajas, Jérica and Caudiel, all of which are to be found on the first section of the route.
Similarly, the aforementioned A-23 motorway follows the rail trail closely, allowing access via the many villages and towns along the route (for example, Villa de Altura).
The route passes through numerous location of architectural interest, including the city of Segorbe, with its cathedral and medieval walls, Jérica, which is host to a múdejar tower that has been declared a national historic-artistic monument, Albentosa, Sarrión, la La Puebla de Valverde y Teruel.
Early tenants included the Consumers Company, which occupied the 20th and 21st floors, the Hilton Company, a men's clothing retailer which occupied the corner store, Remington Typewriter Company, and film companies Mutual, Paramount, Pathé, and Universal.
A. Weis & Company operated the Winter Garden, an upscale restaurant located in the basements of the Consumers Building and the adjacent 214 South State Street building, which Kesner had purchased to ensure a skyscraper would not be built there.
In the 1920s, the Allied Amusements Association, an association of motion picture and vaudeville theatre owners, had offices on the building's 13th floor.
Other tenants in the 1920s included Carnation Milk, the Cooperative stores, Integrity Mutual Insurance Co., Liberty Mutual, and the Pullman Company.
Benson & Rixon moved to 206-12 S. State St., before moving to their newly built store at 230 S. State St. the following year.
The trust defaulted on its lease, and in 1937, title to the building was turned over to the owners of the ground leases.
The building later served as home to the Illinois Public Action Council, the Chicago Public High School for Metropolitan Studies, and the regional office of the Community Relations Service.
In 2005, the General Services Administration acquired the Consumers Building and neighboring buildings, using eminent domain to seize some of the properties, citing the need for increased security around the Dirksen Federal Building.
In 2011 and 2013, Preservation Chicago listed the Consumers Building and the nearby Century Building as one of Chicago's 7 most endangered buildings.
In 2017, CA Ventures reached an agreement to purchase the Consumers Building, the Century Building, and the two smaller buildings in between, for $10.38 million.
The Consumers Building and Century Building would have been converted to apartments, as part of a $141 million redevelopment project, while the historic Streamline Moderne storefront of 214 South State St. would have been restored and incorporated into a 25,000 square-foot structure built between the taller buildings for retail and commercial use.
Under the terms of the agreement, the City of Chicago would purchase the buildings from the federal government and then immediately sell them to CA Ventures.
However, the City of Chicago backed out of the agreement in December 2019, citing security concerns at the nearby Dirksen Federal Building.

According to Sugizo, Luna Sea, who have never worked with a producer in their 30 year career, had been wanting to work with one for about the last five years.
He explained that he wanted to be a student again and learn more, but none of the producers in Japan fit for various reasons.
After getting the offer from Luna Sea, Lillywhite went to see them perform live at Saitama Super Arena as he believes the true value of a band is in their live shows.
Guitarists Inoran and Sugizo had previously visited him at his home in Jakarta, but this was the first time all five band members had met with the producer about the album.
Lillywhite had four points he wanted for the album; to capture the energy of the band's live performances, have great melodies, include a modern sound for the current age, and retain the unique sound that Luna Sea have cultivated through the decades.
He said that he still believes in the idea of an album working as a whole instead of just standalone songs put together.
Lillywhite said that he noticed each member has their own style and that mixing them all together made a good album.
He explained that J is a hard rocker, Inoran likes indie rock, Sugizo likes progressive rock, and Ryuichi is Frank Sinatra, while Shinya can adapt and interpret each one in his own way as a good drummer should.
Before meeting the band, Lillywhite did not like Ryuichi's vocals when he listened to their old work and was worried about whether or not he could produce them.
He revealed that all the music Sugizo brought to him was perfect and organized, whereas Inoran's songs were more difficult because they were cluttered like U2's.
Sugizo would bring him one guitar take that was perfect, but Inoran would bring him ten takes and let him choose which to use.
It is the band's tenth studio album and the Japanese numeral for the number 10 is , which looks like a cross.
He told the band that he will do something different on the next album, as he is convinced they can do different things and would like to see where they are going.
It features about 15 string players and around 20 high school drummers and flutists, for about 40 or 50 people in total.
Through repeated trial and error he tried to find the best balance between retaining the song's power but making it gentle enough on the ears.
He called it reminiscent of David Bowie, and said that the calm song acts as a relief in the middle of the album.
It was Lillywhite's idea to have an English announcement in , for which he chose J because the bassist has a good voice.
But he is of the opinion that the last song should be like a nice dessert after a meal, and the latter was too heavy for dessert.
An edition sold exclusively at the band's December 21 and 22, 2019 concerts at the Saitama Super Arena includes a live CD recorded at their December 22 and 23 concerts at the arena the previous year.

Taxation in Wales () typically comprises of payments to one or more of the three different levels of government: the UK government (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs), the Welsh Government, and local government.
In the fiscal year 2017-18, total Welsh government revenue was forecast to be £27.1 billion, or 38.3 per cent of GDP, with net VAT, income tax, and National Insurance contributions standing at £15.8 billion.
The Welsh Government acquired the power to increase income tax on the 10% share it collects, however it has not opted to do so.
The Norman conquest of England brought some areas of Wales under the control of William the Conqueror, however the Domesday Book shows little success in establishing a framework for taxation for Wales.
Areas of Powys began to see land ownership recorded for future taxation, however little of that county let alone the rest of Wales was ever recorded.
The conquest of Edward I over the remainder of Wales by 1283 brought the introduction of English common law over the whole of the country.
Until the successful referendum on devolution in 1997, which produced the Welsh Government and Senedd Cymru, taxation of Welsh matters was a matter for the Parliament of the United Kingdom and its Government.
Welsh legislation is known as an Act of the Assembly, however the Assembly will be renamed to the Senedd Cymru in 2020 () and acts will be known as Acts of the Senedd Cymru.
Partial responsibilities for income tax in Wales were given to the Welsh Government beginning with the tax year April 2019, following devolution of the matter in the Wales Act 2014.
Welsh Local Government revenue comes primarily from Welsh Government grants, Non-Domestic (Business) Rates, Council Tax, and increasingly from fees and charges such as those for on-street parking.
Since devolution, the Welsh Assembly has been permitted to legislate on local taxation such as Council Tax and Business Rates, as well as set grant levels.
The Wales Act 2017 began the process of partially devolving power over Income Tax to the Welsh Government, and these changes took effect in April 2019.
All other revenues remain controlled by the UK Government, however, including income tax, goods tax (VAT), alcohol tax, aviation tax, and fuel tax.
The most recent and comprehensive assessment of taxation in Wales is a report by the Cardiff University's Wales Fiscal Analysis centre.
Revenues as a percentage of GDP was estimated at 38.3%, in contrast with a figure of 36.4% for the rest of the UK.
The largest sources of Government revenue in Wales, in order, are VAT (£6.4 bn), Income Tax (£4.9 bn) and National Insurance contributions (£4.5 bn).
As a percentage of GDP, VAT and excise duty collect a greater share of revenue in Wales than the rest of the UK, while Income Tax and Corporation Tax shares are lower.

The Shelton Oak also known as Owen Glendwr's Observatory or the Glendower Oak was a veteran oak tree near Shrewsbury, England.
The oak is said to have been climbed Owain Glyndŵr, the Welsh independence fighter, to view the 1403 Battle of Shrewsbury, from which its alternative name derives.
In later years the tree became renowned for its hollow trunk which was variously described as able to accommodate twenty people, six people sitting for dinner or an 8-person quadrille dance.
The tree had fallen by 1940 and its remains were removed in the 1950s to facilitate improvements to an adjacent road junction.
The tree stood around from the town of Shrewsbury at a site from which The Wrekin and, later, Shrewsbury Cathedral were visible.
In 1403 he marched from Wales with his men to join an army led by Henry Percy (Hotspur) who was fighting a rebellion against the English king Henry IV.
His route of march was blocked by the king's men on 21 July so Owain climbed the Shelton Oak to view the progress of the Battle of Shrewsbury, some distant.
From his vantage point Glyndŵr could see that Hotspur's father Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland's had not joined the battle and Hotspur's men were losing.
In 1823 it was recorded to be at least high; in circumference at ground level and at a height of .
A report from this year noted that at a height of the circumference of the oak was and at the circumference was .
An acorn from the tree was planted by the gate of Pentreheylin Hall by a Mrs Croxon in 1832 and was flourishing more than 40 years later.
A report from 1878 suggests that the hollow trunk of the Shelton Oak was by then large enough for eight people to dance a quadrille within it.
A second acorn from the tree was grown into a sapling and planted at The Elms in Shrewsbury by Dr Charles Waring Saxton on 5 February 1880.
The tree had died by 1940 and the stump was removed in the 1950s to allow improvements to take place to the adjacent junction of the A5 and the Welshpool Road.

He finished among the top ten competitors, and was the runner-up in 2015, Marc Coma being the only competitor ahead of him.
Between 2006 and 2009, and also from 2013 to 2019, Gonçalves raced for the Honda team in the Dakar Rally, before moving to the Hero MotoCorp team in 2020.
During the 2020 edition of the Dakar rally the engine started in the third stage, and its withdrawal was announced, which was corrected about three hours later, as Gonçalves was trying to repair his vehicle at the same time as he was waiting for his team to arrive for assistance.
He was found unconscious, resuscitated at the scene, and then flown by helicopter to a hospital in Layla, where he was pronounced dead.
After his death, the municipality of Esposende issued a note of regret, highlighting his career as a racer, and regarded him as an Esposende ambassador to the world.
Upon her arrival at The Mill, she shared scenes with Valerie Pitman (Sarah Moyle) and Sid Vere (Ashley Rice), where she helps a pregnant patient.
However, when Ruhma is introduced to Heston Carter (Owen Brenman), the pair initially dislike each other, resulting in an argument that ends in a kiss.
Ruhma is introduced as a sonographer for Emma Reid (Dido Miles) and Howard Bellamy (Ian Kelsey), and it is explained that her and Emma are former colleagues.
Mrs Tembe (Lorna Laidlaw) calls her into The Mill, where Valerie Pitman (Sarah Moyle) insists that there is no record of her meeting.
While she argues with Valerie, a pregnant patient of Sid Vere's (Ashley Rice) begins to feel ill, so she treats her.
When Jimmi Clay (Adrian Lewis Morgan) and Heston Carter (Owen Brenman) hear of Ruhma's potential hiring, they disagree, insisting The Mill does not need a residential midwife.
The pair attend the theatre together, after which Ruhma asks Karen Hollins (Jan Pearson) if Heston is single; he later takes her on a date to a fancy restaurant.
Ruhma is evicted from her house, so Heston invites Ruhma and her children, Shak (Sunjay Midda) and Alia (Lisa Ambalavanar), to live with him.
Heston suggests seeking treatment from a private audiologist, and although she initially disagrees due to working for the NHS, she seeks help.
She tracks down the seller, Lee Harwood (Matthew Mellahieu), and forces him to reassemble the bench at The Mill, which she later has concreted into the ground.
Hanny Johanna Hermina Thalmann (26 July 1916 in Gossau, canton of St. Gallen – 11 May 2000 at St. Gallen) was a Swiss women's rights activist and politician of the Christian Democratic People's Party.
She had a vocational business training in Walenstadt, canton of St. Gallen, and later graduated from the business school of the Institute of Menzingen, canton of Zurich.
In 1933, she joined the Business Academy of St. Gallen, but she had to pause her studies due to a lung disease in 1932–33.
After an intership in a bank in Wil, canton of St. Gallen, she earned a business teaching diploma in 1937 and a doctor's degree in economics in 1943 thanks to a thesis about the industry in Sarganserland.
Thalmann taught at the vocational school of retail business in St. Gallen from 1945 to 1974 and became the director of that school in 1958.
She was a board member of the St. Gallen Women's Central Office from 1950 to 1981 (of which she was the vice-chairwoman for some time), and a member of the cantonal board of the Catholic Women League in St. Gallen and Appenzell from 1954 to 1988.
She was the first female member of the educational board of the canton of St. Gallen from 1968 to 1983, and from 1971 to 1979 the first female National Councillor from the canton of St. Gallen.
She was among the first ten women to seat in the National Council after women's suffrage was introduced in federal elections in 1971.
Thalmann was involved in social and vocational edcuation issues, and promoted vocational training of women in her canton, as well as maternity rights and maternity insurance in the National Council.
In 2019, her name was engraved on desks of the National Council chamber alongside the names of early elected female parliamentaries.
Neil Housman Wilson (1886–1960) was an English-born Southern Rhodesian journalist and politician who became a member of the Southern Rhodesian parliament in 1933.
In 1922, he was elected General Secretary of the Public Services Association and it was in this capacity that he served as an Advisory Member of the Southern Rhodesian delegation at the Terms of Union Convention, Cape Town.
As the elected chairman of the Progressive Party he negotiated the amalgamation with the Country Party and Labour Party to form the Reform Party, of which he became the first chairman and then President.
In 1934 he was adviser to the Southern Rhodesia Delegation when Godfrey Huggins went to negotiate a new Railway Agreement in Cape Town.
He was at one time: general secretary of the Dominion Party; president of the Immigration and Development Association of Rhodesia; and, chairman of the Central Africa Wing of the League of Empire Loyalists.

Another way is to react acetylene with phenyl lithium (at −50°C) to make lithium acetylide, which then reacts with bromine to yield the product.
It has a sweetish smell, but makes a white fume in air that then smells like ozone, possibly because it forms ozone.
The infrared spectrum has absorption at 2185 cm due to symmetrical stretching on the C≡C bond, 832 cm asymmetrical stretch on C-Br bond, 311 cm bending on Z shape BrCC, 267 symmetrical stretch on all bonds, and 167 cm for C shaped bending.
Dibromoacetylene reacts with Apiezon L, which is used as a vacuum grease in distillation, so its use is unsuitable with this chemical.
LTT is a tax applied to residential and commercial land and buildings transactions (including commercial purchases and commercial leases) where a chargeable interest is acquired.
Under the Land Transaction Tax and Anti-avoidance of Devolved Taxes (Wales) Act 2017, a land transaction must be notified to the Welsh Revenue Authority unless it falls within one of the exempt categories contained in the Act.
LTT is usually paid by the solicitor on behalf of the buyer, within 30 days of completion as part of the administrative process to complete the conveyancing transaction, although final responsibility lies with the buyer.
Submitting an LTT return and making arrangements to pay the LTT due is a prerequisite to applying for registration of title.
LTT is a progressive tax, with its structure designed so that the charge rises more than proportionately to the actual price of the property.
The percentage rate for each band in LTT is applied only to the part of the price over the relevant threshold and up to the next threshold.
Proposals for rates and bands were announced by the Minister for Finance Mark Drakeford on 11 December 2017, as part of the annual Draft Budget process and tax calculators are available to help taxpayers and agents determine the amount of LTT due.
The proposed tax rates and bands are subject to consultation and Parliamentary scrutiny through the Draft Budget process, led by the Finance Committee of the Senedd Cymru.
Initially, the Congo government had a 65% participation in the airline, Sabena had a 30% holding, and Air Brousse and Sobelair held the balance.
Services to Belgium were inaugurated in early 1963, linking Léopoldville with Brussels via Rome, using Boeing 707 equipment operated by Sabena on behalf of the carrier.
By 1964 the airline was also operating Curtiss C-46s and DC-4s equipment, leased from Aerovias Panama Airways to complement the Sabena-leased aircraft.
The initial fleet of Air Congo consisted of Douglas DC-3s, Douglas DC-4s and Douglas DC-6Bs; the first international destinations served by the carrier were Entebbe, Luanda, Nairobi, and Ndola.
Whilst the airline was granted exclusive rights to operate scheduled domestic and international flights, it also received subsidies from the government in Léopoldville for any shortfall in loans which had been approved by the government.
Part of the contract with Sabena saw the Belgian airline train Air Congo personnel for a six-year period, and by the end of 1962 Air Congo had 2,400 employees, of which some 1,100 were seconded from Sabena.
Jet service to Brussels was inaugurated in March 1963 utilising a Boeing 707 which was leased from Sabena, and in April 1963 the airline joined the International Air Transport Association, becoming the 94th overall member.
The airline signed an agreement with French airline Union des Transports Aériens (UTA) in January 1964, which saw the two airlines cooperating on flights between Africa and Europe.
The airline added four Beech Barons in October 1964 in order to provide feeder services, and in November 1964, Zambia Airways reintroduced the Ndola-Élisabethville route which was formerly operated by Central African Airways.
On 29 November 1964, a Douglas DC-4 of the airline, leased from Belgian International Aviation Services crashed upon take-off from Stanleyville, killing seven of the fifteen people on board.
It was initially reported the aircraft, which was carrying Belgian soldiers, may have been shot down by rebels, but it was later revealed the aircraft had hit an empty fuel drum on the runway upon taking off.
Following the 1965 coup which brought Mobutu Sésé Seko to power, most of Sabena's property in the country was seized, and the Belgian airline had its traffic rights at Élisabethville cancelled.
In addition, the Congolese government seized funds which were due to be paid by Air Congo to Sabena, and other funds earned by Sabena in the country.
At the time, the fleet comprised two Douglas DC-6s, eight DC-4s, eleven DC-3s, two Curtiss C-46s, three Beech 18s, five Beech Barons, one Piper PA-23 Aztec and one Cessna 310.
In 1967 the airline ordered two Sud Aviation Caravelles for delivery in October 1967 and the summer of 1968, and on 12 May 1967 a BAC One Eleven, on a one-year lease from Laker Airways entered service on the airlines' routes.
On 25 November 1967 a Douglas DC-8 joined the airlines' fleet, and it flew on routes from Lubumbashi-Kinshasa-Brussels-Paris or Rome, with the last sector being flown on alternate weeks.
The airline operated the DC-3s, DC-4s and DC-6s to 26 domestic destinations, and the smaller Beech aircraft were operated to 27 other domestic destinations.
There was special emphasis placed on the training of Congolese nationals to run the airline, and in 1970 two Douglas DC-8s were bought from Pan Am.

The History of the Pilgrims () is an anonymous Latin account of the expedition of the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa during the Third Crusade (1189–90).
The sole surviving manuscript, made in the early 13th century at Salem Abbey, is not quite complete and seems to be missing the last sentences.
Among the latter was probably a tract on Conrad of Montferrat's campaign in Palestine, since his defence of Tyre (1187) is covered in the first part covering Saladin's conquests.
Others believe this date seems unlikely given the marriage of her parents, John Balfour and a daughter of Dr Samuel Moore of Derry, in January 1778.
This could make her year of birth 1789, which better aligns with the dates of birth of her younger sisters and the characters in her poems.
After the death of her father, Balfour and her sisters had to support themselves by teaching, initially in Newtown Limavady, then in Belfast.

Elisabeth Jean Wood is an American political scientist, currently the Franklin Muzzy Crosby Professor of the Human Environment, professor of political science, and professor of international and area studies at Yale University.
She studies sexual violence during war, the emergence of political insurgencies and individuals' participation in them, and democratization, with a focus on Latin American politics and African politics.
Wood received a BA in physics from Cornell University in 1979, and then another BA in philosophy and mathematics from the University of Oxford in 1981.
She then received a MA in physics at the University of California, Berkeley, followed by an MA in Latin American Studies in 1988, also from UC Berkeley.
In this book, Wood uses micro-level ethnographic data obtained from fieldwork in the two cases of El Salvador and South Africa to argue that the process of democratization can be prompted by alliances of workers and impoverished people who confront established elites.
Wood studies the cooperation of rural people and agricultural cooperatives with a political insurgency in El Salvador, arguing that many individuals overcame the collective action problem to participate in a dangerous insurgency because of a combination of beliefs that the insurgency would have positive effects, a desire to express defiance, and the pleasure of expressing individual agency.
In reviewing the book, Jon Shefner noted that the field sites that Wood spent time in to research the book were particularly challenging and dangerous, and that she documented her findings with noteworthy methodological precision.
In addition to publications in journals like Politics and Society, The Journal of Peace Research, and Comparative Political Studies on topics like democratization in El Salvador, sexual assault in the military, and sexual violence by armed forces, she has authored a number of public policy pieces in the popular media.
Wood is a member of the 2020-2024 editorial leadership of the American Political Science Review, which is the most selective political science journal.
She was previously a member of the editorial boards of the American Political Science Review from 2007-2013, as well as of World Politics, Politics and Society, and the Contentious Politics Series of the Cambridge University Press.
In 2010, Wood was named a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in 2018 she was named the Franklin Muzzy Crosby Professor of the Human Environment at Yale University.

In Islamic history, a muwaqqit (, more rarely miqati) was an astronomer tasked with the timekeeping and the regulation of prayer times in an Islamic institution like a mosque or a madrasa.
Muslims observe salah, the daily ritual prayer, at prescribed times based on the hadith or the tradition of Muhammad (c. 570–632).
Because the start and end times for prayers are related to the solar diurnal motion, they vary throughout the year and depend on the local latitude and longitude when expressed in local time.
The minaret provided the muazzin with a vantage point to observe phenomena such as sunset which marks the start time of Maghrib.
In addition to regulating prayer times, they wrote treatises on astronomy, especially on timekeeping and the use of related instruments such as quadrants and sundials.
They were also responsible for other religious matters related to their astronomical expertise, such as the keeping of the Islamic calendar and the determination of the qibla (the direction to Mecca used for prayers).
The astronomical keeping of prayer times as well as the construction and maintenance of a mosque's astronomical instruments were just a normal part of academic activities in Muslim cities of the time.
In Al-Andalus, in the late 13th century, astronomers Ahmad and Husayn—father and son from the ibn Baso family—computed prayer times for the Great Mosque of Granada.
Apart from timekeeping, he also worked on planetary theories and wrote a treatise on the movements of the Sun, the moon, and the planets.
He moved away from Ptolemaic geocentrism and produced models which were still geocentric but were mathematically equivalent to those later proposed by Copernicus (1473 – 1543).
In addition, Egyptian astronomers Ibn al-Majdi and Ibn Abi al-Fath al-Sufi wrote extensively on religious timekeeping using more advanced astronomy than Sibt al-Maradani, but they were not formally attached to any mosque.
In the past few decades, some mosques have installed electronic clocks capable of calculating local prayer times and sounding reminders accordingly.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) () has a limited presence in the People's Republic of China and is subject to legal restrictions on the Chinese mainland.
Although returned overseas Chinese converts and foreign Latter-day Saints who live in China do attend sacrament meetings in China, Chinese nationals and expatriates do not attend the same meetings, and the LDS Church has directed its non-Chinese members to avoid proselytizing in Mainland China.
LDS missionaries briefly visited Asia in 1851 Three missionaries—Hosea Stout, James Lewis, and Chapman Duncan—arrived in Hong Kong, which was, at that time, a British colony, on April 28, 1853.
Missionary efforts in Hong Kong did not succeed, as Hong Kong locals and colonists did not welcome the Latter-day Saints' religious message and the local climate, culture, and language posed problems for proselytism.
Future LDS Church president David O. McKay travelled to China with LDS Church elder Hugh Cannon in 1921, symbolically consecrating China to missionary efforts without beginning an actual missionary campaign.
In 1949, the LDS Church began missionary activities in Hong Kong and Macao, but was unable to visit the mainland due to the Communist victory in the Chinese Civil War.
In the context of the Chinese economic reforms of the 1980s, LDS Church leaders began engaging in legal and political negotiations with the Chinese state.
In addresses in 1979, LDS Church President Spencer W. Kimball called on members to pray for peace and an opening to missionary work in China, while also praising elements of certain Chinese government policies on sexual morality, work ethics, honesty, self-discipline, and hygiene.
The LDS Church's Polynesian Cultural Center hosted several Chinese dignitaries, namely Vice Premier Geng Biao, Premier Zhao Ziyang, President Li Xiannian, and Vice President Li Lanqing.
Since 1979, Brigham Young University performance groups have held tours in China to the approbation of Chinese political and business leaders.
Future LDS Church President Russell M. Nelson, who was also a surgeon, was recognized as an honorary professor at Shandong Medical College in 1985.
After 1996, meetings became less publicized as the Chinese state sought to avoid inspiring other religious organizations to make similar demands for greater autonomy.
Future President of the LDS Church Russell M. Nelson reiterated in December 2012 that the church was not sending missionaries to China.
In 2013, the LDS Church launched a website presented as being for informing Chinese converts on the restrictions they will obey once they return to China.
The website confirmed that officially-approved congregations had existed in China since 2004, and reiterated the restrictions on LDS religious activity imposed by Chinese regulations.
In 2018, the LDS Church selected Chinese-American Gerrit W. Gong to be a member of the LDS Church's Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
The LDS Church's lack of legal recognition in China prevents an official count of LDS Church members in China from being available.
With the explicit or implicit consent of local or national authorities, local branches possess religious materials for worship activities that may not be distributed to outsiders.
Although foreign church members may not proselytize in China, the LDS Church is able to gain believers in China by converting overseas Chinese nationals, including by sending Mandarin-speaking missionaries to Western cities with a large Chinese population.
These constrained modalities of proselytism have contributed to the creation of a small group of members that are generally well-educated and well-off.
BYU English teachers have taught at high-ranking Chinese universities, including Tsinghua University, Renmin University, Fudan University, and Jiaotong University, with more than 1,200 students per year encountering LDS teachers.
The LDS Church is not officially recognized by the national government in Mainland China, and operates under restrictions on fellowshipping and proselytism.
According to Vendassi, the legal tolerance of the LDS Church by Mainland Chinese authorities is atypical of religious movements based outside of China and can be attributed to the church's practice of engaging in quasi-diplomatic dialogue with governmental authorities and strictly following regulations on religion.
Sociologist Pierre Vendassi observed that, compared to members of Evangelical communities in China, the LDS Church's adherents in China tend to more greatly limit the visibility of their religious identity.
According to writer Robert Farley, the LDS Church is benefitted by good U.S.-China relations because it relies on converting Chinese nationals while they are overseas.
As of January 2020, the LDS Church counts 24,933 members, 1 temple, 1 mission, 6 stakes, 33 wards, and 6 branches in Hong Kong.
At the time, she thought that Ohara was merely a radio host and did not learn that she was a voice actress until later.

He was the son of the landowner Manuel Ignacio de los Reyes Forero and María de la Luz (Cruz) Escobar y Torres.
He was formally educated in Tunja, Boyacá, where wealthy families sent their children to school, and dedicated himself to trade between Sogamoso, Boyacá and Cúcuta, Boyacá.
When the cry of the Independence of 1810 was given and all of Spanish America rebelled against the mother country, Juan José Reyes entered to serve the armies of the First Republic participating in various war actions.
He entered the Colombian patriotic army arriving as a lieutenant in 1814, and subsequently becoming captain in 1818 , lieutenant colonel in 1819 , colonel in 1828, and general in 1852 .
Reyes-Patria served under the command of Custodio García Rovira and Antonio Baraya until the Reconquista , when he had to take refuge in Casanare and Apure with José Antonio Páez and Ramón Nonato Pérez.
He fought in Gámeza, Boyacá and Pantano de Vargas, organized by the Vargas battalion by order of Simón Bolívar and was sent to Barinas, Venezuela.
On July 11, 1819, Gámeza was the scene of one of the epics of the feat that conquered freedom for Colombians.
In the main park of the municipality there is a monument to Reyes Patria and the indigenous chieftains Gamza and Siatoba.
Reyes-Patria was military commander of Ocaña, Santa Marta, and La Guajira, and governor of Riohacha between 1821 and 1824, governor of Casanare in 1828 and fought for the federal cause in the Colombian civil wars of 1840 , 1851 , 1854 and 1860.
In the town of Corrales, Colombia, the old general and hero of the independence, changed his life as a regular revolutionary for that of a fervent Catholic dedicated to the study of the Bible and philosophy.
Reyes-Patria lived in a historical home in Corrales, which is today being converted into a genealogical museum for the people of Tundama Province.

In 1976, he beat Davis in the semi-final of the Under-19 Snooker championship before losing to him later the same day in the billiards final.
His application to become a professional snooker player in 1980 was refused, along with that of Eugene Hughes, whilst Tony Knowles was the only one of three applicants at the time to be accepted.
The final was played as best-of-13 150-up, and it took Williamson nine hours to beat Robby Foldvari 7-3 in a match where both players were warned by the referee for slow play.
Williamson and Robby Foldvari set a record for the longest best-of-nine frame snooker match when they took seven hours and fourteen minutes to finish their match in the seventh qualifying round of the 1994 British Open in August 1993.
He then dropped in the rankings each year and last competed on the professional snooker circuit in the 1995-96 season, when he was ranked 283rd, before going on to focus on coaching.

James Thompson (1789–October 6, 1872) was an American surveyor based in Kaskaskia, Illinois, who created the first plat of Chicago on August 4, 1830.
Born in Abbeville, South Carolina, to Scots-Irish immigrants, he moved to Kaskaskia in downstate Randolph County in 1814 and lived in nearby Preston, Illinois, starting in 1817.
Serving as a county commissioner from 1820 to 1821, he implemented the 1820 United States Census and contemporary state census in Randolph County.
In 1830 he was hired by the Illinois and Michigan Canal Commissioners to survey the two towns at the end of the proposed canal.
The area did not extend to Lake Michigan, as the federal government then owned land occupied by Fort Dearborn on the lakeshore.
After completing his survey he returned to Randolph County and declined an offer of land in Chicago in favor of a cash payment of $300.
Upon his death in 1872 he was celebrated as one of Chicago's founders and has been commemorated at various times since.

It was a phreatic eruption from the main crater that spewed ashes to Calabarzon, Metro Manila, some parts of Central Luzon, and Pangasinan in Ilocos Region, resulting in the suspension of classes, work schedules, and flights.
By January 26, 2020, PHIVOLCS observed inconsistent, but decreasing volcanic activity in Taal, prompting the agency to downgrade its warning to Alert Level 3.
It was followed by an even stronger explosion by around 3pm that spew an ash column measuring 100 meters, prompting PHIVOLCS to upgrade the alert status to Alert Level 3 by 4pm.
Furthermore, Solidum confirmed that there was a magmatic intrusion that is likely the cause of the volcano's phreatic eruptions on Sunday morning and afternoon.
PHIVOLCS ordered an evacuation in the towns of Balete, San Nicolas, and Talisay in Batangas and other towns within the shores of Taal Lake.
By January 16, European satellites observed that the sulfuric acid which filled the main crater prior to the eruption had almost completely disappeared.

A lolly scramble is a children's party game common in New Zealand and Australia, in which an adult throws fistfuls of lollies into the air while the children 'scramble' to catch them or gather them from the ground.
Lolly scrambles were first held at picnics and parties, but by the 1930s had grown popular at galas, cinemas, ice skating rinks, and annual Santa Parades.

The adult then throws lollies into the air, in different directions so that all children have a chance to gather lollies.

Patience Darton (married name: Patience Edney; 11 August 1911 in Orpington, England – 6 November 1996 in Madrid, Spain) was a British nurse and political activist active during the Spanish Civil War.
Darton was born into a middle class family and hoped to study medicine, but her father's bankruptcy led her to work as a nanny and in a tea shop while saving up for the admissions fees into a nursing program.
She arrived in Spain in February 1937 and worked in medical units at medical units in Aragón, Brunete, Teruel and Ebro.
Despite working in difficult conditions (including a hospital inside a cave during the Ebro offensive), Darton re-diagnosed incorrectly diagnosed patients, saving them with correct treatment.
Darton married British Communist Party official (and Brigade member) Eric Edney; the newlyweds traveled to China in 1949 to assist with the transition to socialism, but faced complications in their political task and were jailed for some time.
In November 1996, Darton traveled with other former International Brigade members to Madrid to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Spanish Civil War, where they received honorary Spanish citizenship.

Eric Pollard, (born March 21, 1980) known professionally as Actual Wolf, is an American singer-songwriter and instrumentalist best known for his instrumental work in Retribution Gospel Choir, Sun Kil Moon, Low and as the leader and songwriter for his eponymous band Actual Wolf.
Eric Michael Pollard was born on March 21, 1980 and raised in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, which is located in the Iron Range region of the state.
All three of his immediate family members are musical, though he is the only one who has pursued music as a profession.
Eric Pollard would adopt the professional name Actual Wolf while rebuilding his personal and professional life following a felony arrest for selling marijuana.
RGC, which had begun as a collaboration between Low guitarist & songwriter Alan Sparhawk and Red House Painters & Sun Kil Moon founder Mark Kozelek (who left early in the band's history) were signed to Sub Pop.

This led to a residency at the Turf Club and a show on the main stage at the famed First Avenue in Minneapolis.
While in Nashville Eric Pollard aka Actual Wolf returned to his roots as an instrumental sideman, touring and recording with the likes of Nikki Lane and JP Harris.
Shortly afterwards Actual Wolf relocated to Oakland California to pursue work in the burgeoning legal medical marijuana industry while still continuing his songwriting/musical career.

The Grand Mosque of Fes el-Jdid is the historic main Friday mosque of Fes el-Jdid, the royal city and Marinid-era citadel of Fes, Morocco.
It was most likely founded in 1275-76, around the same time that the city itself was founded, making it the oldest mosque in Fes el-Jdid.
The mosque was founded around 1276 by the Marinid sultan Abu Yusuf, around the same time he founded the new royal city Fes el-Jdid.
Fes el-Jdid was created as a fortified city and palace complex, separate from Fes el-Bali (old Fes), from which the Marinid dynasty ruled over Morocco.
However, it does not appear to have developed into a major center of learning, and instead the most prestigious madrasas remained the al-Qarawiyyin and the other Marinid madrasas later built in Fes el-Bali.
Though not fully confirmed, it is widely believed that Sultan Abu Inan was buried in a tomb adjoining the mosque upon his death in 1358.
Up to that point they had been buried in the necropolis of Chellah but after this they were buried instead on the al-Qula Hill north of Fes (whose ruins are now known as the Marinid Tombs).
Scholars believe it is much more likely that this refers to an embellishment or refurbishment of the mosque, as the mosque's layout does not suggest it was significantly altered or that construction was interrupted and completed at a later date.
However, it seems likely that in this case the second gate was designed to give direct access to a walled-in gallery section in the northeastern corner of the courtyard which was reserved for women coming to pray.
The mosque also had two gates on its eastern side and two more on its western side; on both sides, one gate led into the courtyard and another directly into the prayer hall to the south.
On the eastern side of the mosque, the courtyard gate was at some point blocked off by the later construction of houses next to the mosque.
From here, there was also originally a direct access to one of the courtyards of the Dar al-Makhzen (royal palace and government offices).
Like in other mosques, it has a central water bassin (formerly linked to two other fountains on either side) and is surrounded by arched galleries.
Like other standard Moroccan mosques, the prayer hall is a vast interior hypostyle space split only by rows of arches running perpendicular to the southern wall, except for an extra row of arches running close to the southern wall and parallel to it.
Of the aisles between the rows of arches, the center one, aligned with the mihrab, is slightly wider than the others and is emphasized with added stucco decoration on the walls between the arches.
The square space formed by the rows of arches intersecting in front of the mihrab is distinguished by more elaborate arches with lobed or serpentine outlines (a type seen elsewhere in Moroccan and Nasrid architecture) and decorated spandrels.
This space is also further marked off from the rest of the mosque by another wooden screen with painted panels and a central door to give access, a feature not typical to most other mosques.
Between the ribs are rich arabesques carved in stucco which also form a screen allowing some light in from the outside.
At the southwestern corner of the mosque is an annex composed of a rectangular chamber and a square chamber with a dome.
Although it has not been fully identified, one of the tombs in this room is assumed to belong to Sultan Abu Inan, the Marinid ruler who also built the Bou Inania Madrasa in Fes el-Bali (among other works).
Like most Moroccan minarets, it has a square shaft with two sections: a main section rising most of the way, and then a second, much smaller square tower at its summit.
The main shaft measures 5.7 meters per side and is 22.8 meters tall (the shaft is about exactly four times as tall as it is wide).
Inside the minaret is a staircase that wraps around the central core of the tower and leads to the platform at the top of the main shaft, historically allowing the muezzin to ascend to the top for the call to prayer.
The motif on the northern and southern facades is slightly different from that on the eastern and western facades, in that the top of each rhombus is split by the start of the one above.
Except for the southern facade, the bottom of each facade has blind arches that blend into the rest of the motif above.
Above this, crowning the top of the main shaft, are saw-toothed merlons (also typical of Moroccan architecture) whose surfaces are also covered in mosaic tilework.
It is topped by a small copula which in turn is topped by a metal pole holding four bronze spheres of decreasing size.
Adjoining the southern base of the minaret, above the gallery of the courtyard, is a chamber for the muezzin which was likely added after the minaret's original construction.
Seen from the courtyard, this chamber is marked by a double-arched window, with an alabaster column between the arches, overshadowed by a carved wooden awning.
It was later held by the Mizuno clan, but in the Tenbun era (1532-1555), the castle was controlled by Oda Nobuhide.
However, after Oda Nobuhide's death, it fell into Imagawa hands with the defection of Yamaguchi Noritsugu together with Narumi Castle and Kitsukake Castle, as Yamaguchi despised Yoshimoto's son, Oda Nobunaga.
Nobunaga responded by construction of the fortresses of Maruse and Washizu in 1559, and the Imagawa responded by installing Udono Nagateru as castellan of Ōtaka.
Matsudaira Motoyasu (later known as Tokugawa Ieyasu) was sent by Imagawa Yoshimoto to assist Udono Nagateru at Ōtaka, but upon hearing word of Imagawa Yoshimoto's death at the Battle of Okehazama turned instead to recover his ancestral home at Okazaki Castle and declared his independence from the Imagawa clan.

A fight between Naseem Hamed and Marco Antonio Barrera, which had been years in the making, was finally agreed upon in November 2000 for a March 3, 2000 date.
3 months prior, Hamed, who had held the WBO featherweight title for nearly five years and had successfully defended it 15 times, decided to vacate the title rather than take less money to face mandatory challenger István Kovács.
Barrera was the reigning WBO super bantamweight champion and was moving up to the featherweight division for the first time and, as a result, was instilled as a 3–1 underdog.
In January, the planned March 3rd date was scrapped and instead the fight was announced to be taken place on April 7th instead in order for both fighters to finalize their contracts.
Hamed, who was making his American pay-per-view debut, was guaranteed a purse of $6 million while Barrera would earn $2 million.
Hamed, who had not expect Barrera to take this approach, had trouble landing any offense as Barrera circled away and landed many counter-punches whenever Hamed attempted to engage him.
In the 12th and final round, Barrera briefly abandoned his approach an began aggressively attacking Hamed before reverting back to his previous tactic.
During one such encounter, Hamed missed Barrera with a wild left hook leading to Barrera to lock Hamed into a full-nelson and drill his head into the turnbuckle, for which Barrera was deducted a point.
However, the lost point would have no bearing on the result as Barrera would earn a unanimous decision victory with two scores of 115–112 and one score of 116–111.
Hamed held a rematch clause that he had to invoke within two months of this fight should he want to face Barrera in an immediate rematch.
However, the two month deadline came and went with no word Hamed or his camp and Barrera instead moved on to face Enrique Sánchez instead.
Hamed finally announced in February 2002 that he would face unknown Spanish fighter Manuel Calvo on March 23rd, though the bout was lated pushed back to May 18th.
After over a year of inactivity Hamed would beat Calvo by unanimous decision in what would prove to be the final match of his career.
Initially his manager announced plans for Barrera to return to his previous weight division of super bantamweight and defend the WBO championship still in his possession, however Barrera ultimately decided to remain in the featherweight division, which he would remain until 2004.
The Moulay Abdallah Mosque or Mosque of Moulay Abdallah is a major mosque and royal necropolis complex situated in the center of the Moulay Abdallah district in Fes el-Jdid, the historic palace-city and citadel in Fes, Morocco.

Prior was born on 10 April 1835 at Mølgård in Vandborg Parish, west of Lemvig, the son of chaplain in Hundstrup Andreas Peter Prior (1805-97) and Hansine Vilhelmine Eller (1809-69).
In 1949 Prior and his elder brother were sent to Copenhagen where they lived with schoolmaster H. E. Melchior ogand attended his school (Melchiors Borgerskole).

After the second world war the brigade was re-established in Travnik and later moved to Banja Luka as the 16th Regiment.
The decision to mobilize the 16th Krajina Brigade was made after the Yugoslav government decided to intervene after the declaration of independence by Croatia.
As such, between 13 June 13 and 15 August, 1991 the brigade conducted mobilization activities and preparatory exercises were in the villages of Mašići, Han Šibić, and Berek.
As ordered, on 16 September 1991 the first elements of the brigade crossed the Sava River into the Socialist Republic of Croatia near Gradiška joining the 329th JNA Armored Brigade (later the 1st Armored Brigade).
In their first action, the soldiers of the 16th Krajina Brigade liberated the villages of Donja Varoš, Gornja Varoš, Nova Varoš and break into the Brotherhood and Unity Highway.
After a few days, the rest of the brigade crossed the Sava River and in a rush liberated settlements in the direction of Kosovac-Gornji Bogicevci, Nova Varos-Donji Bogicevci, and then the villages of Gornji Rajici, Rozdanik, Jazavica, Voćarica, Paklenica, and part of Stari Grabovac.
Under the command of then commander Milan Čeleketić, the 16th Brigade liberated 65 km2 of the territory of Western Slavonia, which was mostly inhabited by the Serbian population.

After breaking out to the Sava River, the 16th Brigade was tasked to defend the Lower Svilaj-Obodni Canal, and portions of the brigade engaged in combat operations near Ostra Luka, at the Gradačac front in order to ensure that the corridor with Serbia was not compromised.
Shortly thereafter, VRS command promoted Colonel Simić to general, appointing him commander of the Eastern Bosnia Corps of the Army of Republika Srpska.
From mid-August to early November 1992, units of the 16th Brigade, under the command of Colonel Slavko Lisica, participated in the liberation of Brod.
After the liberation of Brod, most of the brigade returned to frontline positions on the Donji Svilaj-Brusnica route, and about a month later the 16th Brigade was tasked to the Orasko front.
In late December, the 16th Brigade received Lieutenant Colonel Vlado Topić as commander, and proceeded to the Brčko front in defense of the corridor along with the East Bosnian Corps of the Republika Srpska Army, headed by their former commander Major General Novica Simić.

Harun el-Raschid Bey, born Wilhelm Hintersatz (May 26, 1886 - March 29, 1963) was a German officer and SS Standartenführer, born in Senftenberg, Brandenburg (some sources claim that he was Austrian).
During the First World War, he converted to Islam while serving with the general staff of the Ottoman Empire with Enver Pasha.
In 1919, he took the name of Harun el-Raschid Bey, the name he was listed by in the Dienstalterslisten der SS.
According to one source, el-Raschid became a Turk when he was adopted by a Turkish family and was a heavy bomber pilot during the war.
He became involved with former Muslim POWs at Wünsdorf Camp after the war ended, and had served the Italian intelligence in the 1930s in Abyssinia.
After the beginning of the German invasion of Russia, el-Raschid served a liaison officer and the main line of contact between the Reich Main Security Office and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, who was seen as the spiritual leader of the SS Neu-Turkestan Division.
They believed that Bosnia was the ideal place to deploy this division, as they believed that cooperation with the 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian) would be beneficial to the training of the division.
El-Raschid was supported in his endeavor to create a division by Prince Mansour Daoud, a relative of King Farouk of Egypt, who joined its forces and bolstered their character.
Among his choices were SS-Hauptsturmführer Quintus de Veer, SS-Untersturmführer Körber of the 5th SS Mountain Corps, Gerd Schulte, and SS-Sturmbannführer Franz Liebermann.
This division was finally deployed by order of Heinrich Himmler on October 20, 1944, and it was supposed to be dubbed the Östturkischer Waffenverband.
The division was composed mostly of soldiers from Muslim communities of the southern Soviet Union, especially the Turkmens as well as Caspian and Black Sea Tatars that felt no loyalty to the USSR.
It suffered from bad discipline and morale, and were only used to their full potential once the Germans started running into manpower problems.
1 mutinied - partially due to them being mooted for transfer to Andrei Vlasov's Russian Liberation Army, which was seen as a betrayal of their anti-Russian ideals, and el-Raschid's general incompetence and inability to interact well with his men.
In March 1945, the previously sacked el-Raschid, now leader of Waffengruppe Idel-Ural, met with the local partisans and surrendered in Merate in Northern Italy, surrendering his Tatar men under the condition that they would be treated humanely.
He decided to surrender to partisans due to the fear that surrendering to Americans would lead them to see his men as Japanese soldiers, who would be ran over with tanks.
On April 26, el-Raschid's men laid down their arms, with 150 of them being shot immediately by the partisans at Col Di Nesse.
El-Raschid and his men were later handed to the 1st Armored Division, and the Tatars were sent back to the Soviet Union, where they were either promptly shot or sent to gulags.

Mainly consisting of Muslim women, the protesters at Shaheen Bagh, since 15 December 2019, have blocked a major highway in New Delhi using non-violent resistance for 48 days now as of 1 February 2020.
The blockade has also become a campaigning issue for the upcoming 2020 Delhi Legislative Assembly elections; with campaigners promising that if they are voted into power, the blockade will be removed the very next hour or day of the election result.
The blocked road affects more than 100,000 vehicles a day with some 25 - 30 minute journeys taking 2 - 3 hours.
As the area is also a border point into the capital, thousands of trucks are being diverted to other border points.
The Delhi High Court refused to hear the first two pleas and on 14 January 2020 said this is a police matter.

With crowds reaching as high as 100,000 on Sundays, this protest has become one of the longest sit-in protests of this magnitude of modern India.
This makes the protest very unique in the history of India; where the stage also allows those to express their doubts.
On 31 December 2019, the New Year's Eve, thousands of protesters who were camping at the venue, at midnight sung the Indian national anthem; despite Delhi was experiencing reportedly the second coldest night in the last 100 years.
However on 26 January 2020, Republic Day, expectations by the protesters of 1,000,000 people turning up at the protest were cited by the media to be false, with only less than 5000 people actually gathering.

On 14 January 2020, the Delhi High court passed the buck again to the police, saying it is a traffic matter concerning the police and to deal with it according to the larger public interest.
Following this the Delhi Police have said they will look into the restrictions that have been caused because of the protesters that affects lakhs of commuters every day, including senior citizens, school children and office goers.
Governor Anil Baijal gave the Delhi Police the powers to detain anyone under the National Security Act, starting from 19 January 2020, for the next three months.

Masters W90 marathon world record progression is the progression of world record improvements of the marathon W90 division of Masters athletics.
The W90 division consists of female athletes who have reached the age of 90 but have not yet reached the age of 95, so exactly from their 90th birthday to the day before their 95th birthday.
Marathon running is not normally seeded into age divisions so all of these records were set in marathon races open to most other age groups.
He is a member of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe and serves on the tribal council, and co-founded Cafe Ohlone, an Ohlone restaurant in Berkeley, California which serves indigenous cuisine made with native ingredients sourced from the San Francisco and Monterey Bay Areas.
Starting in 2011 he wrote a blog about his experience as an Ohlone person in the 21st Century and learning and sharing the Chochenyo language.
Heyday's Berkeley Roundhouse was formerly called the California Indian Publishing Program, and is dedicated to celebrating indigenous California culture and supporting the local Indian community.
It falls under the ISO 639-3 code for which also includes Ramaytush, Tamyen, Awaswas, and Chalon, but Medina and the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe consider it to be a distinct language.
Medina was introduced to Chochenyo as a child, but began learning the language deeply around 2010 by studying the field notes produced by J. P. Harrington, who worked with native Chochenyo speakers in the early 20th Century to document their language.
By 2012 Medina could speak Chochenyo with others, and as he became more proficient, he began teaching his younger brother their ancestor's language as well.
In 1934, the only native speaker of Chochenyo died, but in the 2000s the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe and linguists at UC Berkeley began to learn and revitalize the language, and in 2009 Northern Ohlone was reclassified from Extinct to Living by SIL International (and therefore Ethnologue and ISO).
In 2015 he was chosen to read verses in Chochenyo during the Mass at the canonization ceremony for Father Serra, and he took advantage of the opportunity which would mean hundreds of millions of people hearing the language.
Dishes include acorn soup and acorn bread, watercress and sorrel salad with berries and seeds, quail eggs, venison, chia pudding, and a variety of teas.
He graduated with a scientific high school diploma from a liceo scientifico in 1985, before enrolling in the University of Pisa as a student of the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa.
He graduated from the Scuola Normale with an undergraduate thesis on the theory of transcendental numbers under the direction of Roberto Dvornicich in 1989.
After a one year scholarship at INdAM from 1989 to 1990, Corvaja completed his PhD under Michel Waldschmidt and Michel Laurent at Pierre and Marie Curie University in 1995.
From 1994 to 1995, he was also a research assistant at the Università Iuav di Venezia as a collaborator of Umberto Zannier.
Corvaja is the coordinator of the mathematics program and the vice director of the Scuola Superiore (School of Excellence) of the University of Udine.
Corvaja and Zannier gave a new proof of Siegel's theorem on integral points in 2002 by using a new method based on the subspace theorem.
Born on 25 July 1892 in Kristiania, Anna Caspari was the daughter of Josef Immanuel von Zezschwitz Caspari (1857–1952), an academic, and Vilhelmine Christiane Sømme (1863–1952).
Initially she worked as a teacher at high schools in Lillehammer and Oslo but from 1925 she taught social history and Norwegian at the Norwegian National Women's Council.
From 1931 to 1950, she was responsible for the one-year courses which were the only options for women wishing to work in the social sector.
Although it was initially well received by women's organizations, it was not until its republication in 1973 that it became a basic reference work for women's history in Norwegian universities.
While she emphasizes the period up to 1913 when Norwegian women first obtained the vote in national elections, she also covers more generally the struggle for equality between women and men.
Sydney Hamilton Kyle-Little (8 November 1918 – 17 August 2012) was a soldier, Aboriginal Patrol Officer in the Northern Territory, Lieutenant Colonel during the Malayan Emergency and a businessman in Asia and Australia.
Syd (junior) had a lot of exposure to aboriginals, playing and tracking with aboriginal children when very young and later when he visited his uncle who managed a cattle station at Humpty Doo, Northern Territory.
He was in Darwin at the time of the Japanese bombing and also stationed at some of the mission stations across the top of the Northern Territory being sent to Borneo, Papua and New Britain.
While in a Military Hospital at Concord at the end of WWII Kyle-Little applied for the position of Cadet Patrol Officer for the Native Affairs Branch, of the Northern Territory Administration, an Australian Federal Government agency, in Darwin.
After the Second World War, in June 1946 Syd joined the Native Affairs Branch as a Cadet Patrol Officer and Protector of Aboriginals.
He was initially assigned to Arnhem Land, which was an area with almost total control of aboriginal peoples and largely unexplored by Europeans.
Aboriginal cultural and law practices predominated thought the area except for the few mission stations around the periphery of Arnhem Land.
There had been considerable disruption to tribal society during the war and the lure of Darwin and access to tobacco and trade goods was strong.
When traveling in the wet season patrols experienced flooding and inundation of large areas, heavy rains for long periods, high humidity and an increase in biting insects like mosquitoes.
Patrolling in the dry season can mean easier walking on firm dry land, and the ability to cover greater distances more quickly, but there is the need to find fresh water for drinking.
Along the Arnhem Land coast are large tidal rivers with the tidal influence extending many kilometres inland that makes river water undrinkable.
Temperatures are almost alway hot for traveling with the mean maximum day time annual temperature being over 30C and the mean minimum night time temperature being 20C.
The local aboriginal Arnhem Land inhabitants have divided the year into 4 to 6 seasons depending on the part of Arnhem Land and the different wind and weather experienced.
Late in 1946, he met two aboriginals, Oondabund and his brother, Narlebar who were linguistically fluent in 7 of the local languages, had good English and were proficient hunters and trackers.
For Arnhem Land patrols initial transport from Darwin was typically by lugger and occasionally an aircraft to a drop off point and then using native canoes, traveling on foot and at times swimming rivers.
Kyle-Little took a 303 rifle and ammunition, a large knife, a swag of canvas, blankets and a mosquito net, a set of spare clothes, toothbrush, compass, diary and multiple cakes of soap.
After completion of his 18-month probationary period, Kyle-Little and two other cadets were sent to the University of Sydney for a six-month course in Anthropology, Criminal Law and Tropical Medicine.
With the support of the Native Affairs Branch Kyle-Little with another Patrol Officer, Jack Doolan planned to set up trading posts in 1949 for aboriginals in their own country.
The intention was to enable the indigenous people to keep their links with country, trade and thereby obtain the things they needed.
To achieve this they repaired an old auxiliary cutter, the Amity, which they restored at Doctors Gully, Darwin, and then used it to carry crocodile skins, woven baskets and trepang to Darwin for resale.
In 1981 he went to visit Maningrida with the rest of the Kyle-Little Family to visit their son Simon who was an aboriginal adviser at Maningrida.
After a change in the administration of the Native Affairs Branch that did not share his view on establishing an aboriginal enterprise, in 1950 Kyle-Little decided on a long holiday.
While there he received an invitation from the British Colonial Service to attend and be interviewed for a position as a Resettlement Officer in Malaya during the Emergency.
Kyle-Little's role as a Resettlement Officer was for the British Colonial Service and it had close ties with the British military and the Malay police.
The first major task was the creation of a secure compound village of Kebun Bahru, New Garden, Tangkak District, Johor, Malaysia.
In 1952 he was seconded to the British commanded Malayan Security Forces holding the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in their Home Guard.
He had contact with the Australian Forces participating in the Emergency and some part in the recruitment of officers for the Home Guard.
In 1957 Kyle-Little went to Singapore with his new wife and joined the corporate world, as a Manager for Wyeth International, a US pharmaceutical company.
Before taking up the post, he attended training in Manila where his first son was born and then went to live in Bangkok, Thailand as manager.
From 1779 he worked for Boulton and Watt at Bedworth Colliery in Warwickshire; Watt steam engines were used to pump water from mines.
He designed an engine in which the steam cylinder was inverted over the pump, so that there was no need for a main beam, or rocking beam, and the engine took up less space.
Boulton and Watt claimed that the engine infringed the company's patents, and the case came to court in 1793; the verdict was in Boulton and Watt's favour.
Trevithick worked on improvements to Bull's engine, while litigation continued; a further verdict in favour of Boulton and Watt came in 1799.
She is Ernest W. Goodrich Professor of Law and Director of the Human Security Law Center and Cabell Research Professor at the William & Mary Law School.
from the UC Berkeley School of Law, and a Ph.D. from Leiden University, and was a law clerk to US Supreme Court justice Anthony Kennedy.

The national Automated Facial Recognition System (AFRS) or the National Automated Facial Recognition System (NAFRS) is a facial recognition system designed to identify, track, and capture criminals in India.
The intention to establish a country-wide facial recognition system stemmed from a trial run of a facial recognition software used by the Delhi police in April 2018 to identify and rescue 3,000 missing children in four days.
Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF), a non-profit organisation based in New Delhi, filed a legal notice with the NCRB stating that the AFRS would cause digital privacy concerns for the nation's citizens.
High Street, Worthing is a road in the centre of the town of Worthing, West Sussex, running from Little High Street to The Steyne.
One of the oldest streets in Worthing, High Street was part of a droveway used across the South Downs into the Weald and probably formed the main reference point of north-south routes on Worthing's Roman grid form marking out a field system known as centuriation.
High Street formed a large part of the pre-resort settlement of Worthing and until was the main street in Worthing until the early 19th century.
Road-widening and redevelopment in the second half of the 20th century removed most of the historic buildings and street frontages along High Street.
High Street is one of only a few streets that existed in the hamlet of Worthing in the 18th century and probably much earlier.
High Street connected with Upper High Street, Little High Street and Middle Street (now North Street) which led to North Street (now the northern part of Chapel Road).
There is archaeological evidence At the southern end of High Street early Worthing had a crossroads with East Lane (now Brighton Road) and West Lane (now Warwick Street and South Street).
An army barracks was built on High Street in 1805 where a garrison was stationed in preparation for a possible invasion from Napoleon.
When Chapel Road was created in 1817 it replaced High Street as the main entrance to the town from the north.
This position was further strengthened in 1835 when Worthing's first Town Hall was built at the junction of Chapel Road with South Street and Warwick Street.
In 1832, the leader of Worthing's last smuggling gang was shot dead at point blank range whilst escaping across a narrow footbridge across the Teville Stream after customs officials chased around 200 smugglers from the seafront and up High Street.
An inquest into the incident was held at the Golden Anchor public house (today's Corner House) where the killing was found to be justified.
The fire station was moved to Broadwater in 1962 and the old Central Fire Station was demolished in 1969, after which it was replaced with Crown House, a building of the Department of Social Security (now the Department for Work and Pensions).
Winney's perpredicular-style building was used as an evangelical church from 1926 to 1988, when it became a restaurant and a bar.
In the 1960s buildings on the west side of High Street were demolished as part of plans to widen High Street into a dual carriageway.
In 2019 Worthing Borough Council announced plans to build a hotel and residential flats along the west side of High Street as part of plans to redevelop the former police station site at the junction with Union Place.
In 2020 Worthing Borough Council proposed the redevelopment of derelict buildings near Ann Street to expand the creative hub at Colonnade House.
High Street has an art gallery at each end, the Forge at the north end and Colonnade House at the south end.
There are two pubs, both by the junction with North Street - the New Amsterdam and the Corner House, and a bar in the former St James' Church.
Su Tseng-chang was announced as the 41st premier of the Republic of China by President Chen Shui-bian on January 19, 2006 and took his oath of office, along with his cabinet, on January 25, 2006.
Soon after, Su promised to step down if the people's welfare (referring to crime and other civil problems) did not improve within six months.
Su faced calls for his resignation after the Rebar Chinese Bank run, but refused to leave his post at the time.
With the resignation of Su and with ten months left in Chen's presidency, that would mean Chen's eight years as President will have seen at least six Premiers (with Chang Chun-Hsiung serving two separate tenures).
Su also stated that he previously submitted resignations numerous times over his sixteen-month tenure, but all were rejected by President Chen.

It is the principal industrial method for producing the lighter alkenes (or commonly olefins), including ethene (or ethylene) and propene (or propylene).
Steam cracker units are facilities in which a feedstock such as naphtha, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), ethane, propane or butane is thermally cracked through the use of steam in steam cracking furnaces to produce lighter hydrocarbons.
Olefins are very reactive molecules that are used in many other applications in the fields of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, construction materials, textile, aeronautics, etc.
In steam cracking, a gaseous or liquid hydrocarbon feed like naphtha, LPG or ethane is diluted with steam and briefly heated in a furnace without the presence of oxygen.
Typically, the reaction temperature is very high, at around 850 °C, but the reaction is only allowed to take place very briefly.
In modern cracking furnaces, the residence time is reduced to milliseconds to improve yield, resulting in gas velocities up to the speed of sound.
After the cracking temperature has been reached, the gas is quickly quenched to stop the reaction in a transfer line heat exchanger or inside a quenching header using quench oil.
The products produced in the reaction depend on the composition of the feed, the hydrocarbon-to-steam ratio, and on the cracking temperature and furnace residence time.
Light hydrocarbon feeds such as ethane, LPGs or light naphtha give product streams rich in the lighter alkenes, including ethylene, propylene, and butadiene.
Heavier hydrocarbon (full range and heavy naphthas as well as other refinery products) feeds give some of these, but also give products rich in aromatic hydrocarbons and hydrocarbons suitable for inclusion in gasoline or fuel oil.
A higher cracking temperature (also referred to as severity) favors the production of ethene and benzene, whereas lower severity produces higher amounts of propene, C4-hydrocarbons and liquid products.
Decokes require the furnace to be isolated from the process and then a flow of steam or a steam/air mixture is passed through the furnace coils.
This steam is in turn used to drive the turbines for compressing cracked gas, the propylene refrigeration compressor, and the ethylene refrigeration compressor.
A typical world scale ethylene plant (about 1.5 billion pounds of ethylene per year) uses a 45,000 horsepower (34,000 kW) cracked gas compressor, a 30,000 hp (22,000 kW) propylene compressor, and a 15,000 hp (11,000 kW) ethylene compressor.
These olefins and aromatics are mostly used as petrochemical intermediates and so with the appropriate chemical treatments, they would produce a wide range of chemicals.
Each design is available under a license that must be purchased from the design developer by any petroleum refining company desiring to construct and operate a Steam Cracking unit of a given design.

Philippe Albert de Crevoisier, Baron de Vomécourt (born, 16 January 1902, France - died, 20 December 1964, France), code names Gauthier and Antoine, was an agent of the United Kingdom's clandestine Special Operations Executive (SOE) organization in World War II.
He was the organiser (leader) of the Ventriloquist network (or circuit) from May 1941 until the liberation of France from Nazi German occupation in September 1944.
The American SOE agent Virginia Hall had as little contact as possible with Vomécourt as she considered him careless about security and full of grandiose plans.
Summing up the pluses and minuses, author Peter Hore's comment about another controversial figure in the Resistance, Mary Lindell, applies also to Vomécourt: he resisted the German occupation of France for more than three years unlike many people who joined the Resistance only when it became clear that Germany was losing the war.
In 1939, at the beginning of World War II, Vomécourt was living on his estate of in Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat in Haute-Vienne Department.
Vomécourt was recruited in May 1941 by his brother Pierre to work for the Special Operations Executive which was headquartered in London.
These canisters were the first of nearly 60,000 canisters loaded with supplies and arms which SOE air-dropped to agents and resistance groups during World War II.
The drop came only after four days of waiting and expectations and the reception committee at the drop site was only two persons, Vomécourt and a young man named Gabie.
A full canister can weigh up to and with great difficulty the two men dragged and carried the canisters and their contents overland to Vomécourt's villa and hid them among rhododendron bushes.
To allay suspicions from himself, he reported the airplane to the French police and they came to his estate and looked around the fields, finding nothing.
Philippe worked south of the Loire River in the Sologne region, mostly in Vichy France which was unoccupied by Germany until November 1942.
The arrest of a dozen SOE agents in October 1941 and the feckless CARTE network of André Girard (in which SOE had placed great hopes) adversely impacted the fledgling SOE resistance networks.
As a sign of his displeasure, he delayed meeting a pair of newly-arrived SOE agents for seventeen days while they slept in ditches.
The police told him they had arrested him to save him from the Gestapo and they registered him as Philippe de Crevoisier to conceal his identity.
One of the most noteworthy was the coordination of an air attack on a German arsenal named Michenon near the town of Salbris on May 7.
Five RAF bombers where shot down by the Germans during the raid and Vomécourt's men rescued the survivors and got them on their way toward safety in neutral Spain via escape lines.
His overworked wireless operator, Muriel Byck died in May 1944 of meningitis and his second-in-command, Polish-born Stanislaw Makowski, died after being captured and tortured by the Germans in August 1944.
In early September 1944, German forces under General Botho Elster were retreating northward from southern France, attempting to join forces with German forces retreating from Normandy.
The Germans were threatened every step of the way by French resistance groups, now called the French Forces of the Interior (FFI).
Realizing that he was unable to join with other German forces, Elster proposed to surrender to the American army, not wishing to soil his military reputation by surrendering to the irregular forces of the resistance and fearing that the resistance forces might seek revenge on his troops after a surrender.
Macon agreed that the Germans would keep their small arms and march unopposed through the FFI territory to Beaugency where the surrender ceremony would take place.
Vomécourt opposed the agreement and he traveled overland for to the headquarters of American General George S. Patton to attempt to have the terms of the surrender re-negotiated.
Vomécourt said Patton agreed with him and gave him a letter delaying the movement of the German soldiers until new terms could be negotiated.
During his return to the FFI forces, Vomécourt was injured in an automobile accident and consequently was not able to deliver the letter to General Macon in time to stop the German's armed march through FFI territory.
As it turned out, the march proceeded without violence and the formal surrender of nearly 20,000 Germans to the Americans took place on September 16, 1944.
He spent two days at home and then departed to join the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration to help the millions of people who had been displaced in the war.
Maxwell Hamilton Osbiston (7 August 1914 – 12 March 1981) was an Australian actor, active in radio, stage, film and television.
He left school during the Great Depression, and with difficulty found employment delivering bread, and spent some time panning for gold in the Central West.
On his return to Sydney he found employment as a traveler for a firm selling dentists' supplies, and remained in this business for four years.
During much of this time he was also acting in radio plays for the Australian Broadcasting Commission, and in January 1938 he was signed to a one-year contract.
He was one of three (with Patricia Crocker and Queenie Ashton) who took part in both the first and last episodes (28 February 1949 and 30 September 1976).
Osbiston served with the RAAF during WWII, but details are hard to find, though he may have attained the rank of flight lieutenant.

A church has served Corton Denham since at least the 12th-century and it had been dedicated to St Andrew by 1543.
The church was made up of an undivided nave and chancel, with a north aisle and west tower containing five bells.
By the middle of the 19th-century, the church had become dilapidated and was considered unsafe by the time the decision was made to rebuild it.
The cost of rebuilding the church amounted to approximately £3,000, with the entire cost being defrayed by Lord Portman, the lord of the manor and principal landowner in the parish.
The plans for the church were drawn up by Mr. Pearce, who was employed in the office of Lord Portman's steward, Mr. H. Parsons of Haselbury Plucknett.
The rebuilding of the church began on 1 March 1869 by Mr. Draper of Crewkerne under the supervision of Mr. Green.
With the demolition of the old church, its 16th-century bench ends were transferred to the Church of St Mary at Rimpton and the 12th-century font was destroyed.
W. B. Portman, was unable to attend the ceremony owing to the recent death of his sister and fever at the rectory.

They may be combined with other composite substances to change the chemistry, structure or function of the nanostructures in order to be used in various technologies.
Many different nanostructures can be synthesised from ZnO using relatively inexpensive and simple procedures.. ZnO is a semiconductor material with a wide band gap energy of 3.3eV and has the potential to be widely used on the nanoscale.
ZnO nanostructures have found uses in environmental, technological and biomedical purposes including dye-sensitised solar cells, lithium-ion batteries, biosensors, nanolasers and supercapacitors .
ZnO creates one of the most diverse range of nanostructures, and there is a great amount of research on different synthesis routes of various ZnO nanostructures .
The most common methods to synthesise ZnO structures is using chemical vapor deposition (CVD), which is best used to form nanowires and comb or tree-like structures .
Other vapor molecules or solid and liquid catalysts can also be involved in the reaction, which affect the properties of the resultant nanostructure .
To directly create ZnO nanostructures, one can decompose zinc oxide at high temperatures where it splits into zinc and oxygen ions and when cooled it forms various nanostructures, including complex structures such as nanobelts and nanorings .
VS processes can create a variety of ZnO nanostructures but their morphology and properties are highly dependent on the reactants and reaction conditions such as the temperature and vapor partial pressures.
These are known as vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) processes, and use a catalytic liquid alloy phase as an extra step in nanostructure synthesis to accelerate growth .
This reaction can be highly controlled to produce more complex nanostructures by modifying the size and arrangement of gold seeds, and of the alloys and vapor constituents .
A large variety of ZnO nanostructures can also be synthesised by growth in an aqueous solution, which is desirable due to its simplicity and low processing temperature .
Altering the growth solution and its concentration, temperature and structure of the seed layer can change the morphology of the synthesised nanostructures .
Nanorods, aligned nanowire arrays, flower-like and disc like nanowires and nanobelt arrays, along with other nanostructures, can all be created in aqueous solutions by varying the growth solution .
The bandgap energy is also dependent on these parameters, since it is dependent not only on the material but also its size due to the nanoscale effect on the band structure.
Doping ZnO nanostructures with other elements and molecules leads to a variety of material characteristics, because the addition or vacancy of atoms changes the energy levels in the band gap .
Native defects due to oxygen and zinc vacancies or zinc interstitials create its n-type semiconductor properties, but the behaviour is not fully understood .
In this lattice all of the octahedral sites are empty, hence there is space for intrinsic defects, Zn interstitials, and also external dopants to occupy gaps in the lattice, even when the lattice is at a nanoscale.
Defects and dopants are usually introduced during the synthesis of the ZnO nanostructure, either by controlling their formation or accidentally obtained during the growing process through contamination.
At temperatures where the lattice is mobile, oxygen molecules and gaps can be moved using electric fields to change the nature of the material .
Dye sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) are a type of thin film solar cell that uses a liquid dye to absorb sunlight.
This is because the nanostructure synthesis is easy to control , it has higher electron transport properties , and it is possible to use organic material as hole transporter, unlike when TiO is the photoanode material .
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are currently the most common power source since they produce high power and have a high energy density.
The use of metal oxides as anodes has largely improved the limitations of the batteries, and ZnO is particularly seen as an up-and-coming potential anode.
A solution may be to dope with different materials and to develop on the nanoscale with nanostructures, such as porous surfaces, that allow for volume changes during the chemical process.
Because of its remarkable energy density of 650Aħg and electrical conductivity of 230Scm ZnO is recognized as a great potential electrode material.
Just as for the batteries, multiple combinations of carbon structures, graphene, metal oxides with ZnO nanostructures have improved capacitance of these materials.
A composite with ZnO base has not only a better power density and energy density, but is also more cost-effective and eco-friendly .
Recent research shows that because of this trait and because of its surface selectivity, ZnO is a good candidate for a biosensor.
Since used ZnO biosensors will eventually dissolve and release Zn ions, they may be absorbed by the cells and the local effect of this is not yet known.
Due to these unknown risks, there needs to be a lot more research before ZnO can be safely applied in the biomedical field.
The station lies on a new railway line between and stations, a stretch of 31 km broad-gauge single track on Chhindwara–Nagpur branch line, running eastwards of the former narrow gauge track.

John Flynn's Grave Historical Reserve, more commonly referred to as Flynn's Grave is the grave site of John Flynn who was an Australian Presbyterian minister who founded the Australian Inland Mission (AIM) and founding the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
The grave, which is now a historical reserve, is located at the base of Mount Gillen on Larapinta Drive in the Alice Springs suburb of Flynn.
The grave is also used as a marker to the start of the informal walk to the summit of Mount Gillen.
John Flynn died in Sydney on 5 May 1951 and, as requested, his ashes were flown to Alice Springs where they were buried in a temporary location near this site.
A more permanent grave was finalised in August 1953 when the urn containing his ashes was placed into a newly built monument and a boulder was placed over it.
Having a boulder covering the grave was chosen by his wife Jean Flynn, later also buried here (14 November 1976), who was motivated by the biblical story of a large rock being rolled over the grave of Jesus.
An appropriate boulder could not be found nearby Alice Springs, and the surrounding MacDonnell Ranges, and one was chosen from the Karlu Karlu / Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve located north.
The Warumungu and Kaytetye believe that these boulders have extraordinary powers and that their damage, or removal, can have life threatening consequences for them.
Additional concerns were also raised by Arrernte people, in Alice Springs, who were concerned with the presence of this sacred stone on their land.
The primary focus of the reserve and its historical significance relates to John Flynn's Grave but it is also the site of the Alkate Hills, an Arrernte sacred site, which covers most of the area.
In 1972 four young men, 1 plasterer and 3 bakers, were charged with 'malicious damage to a monument to the dead' following vandalisation of the grave, in the early hours of 1 January, which they covered in psychedelic designs.
Dissatisfaction with the use of the sacred stone continued and in 1980-1981 meetings were held between the Uniting Church and various Aboriginal representatives were held and it was agreed that a search would commence for a replacement boulder although controversy following this agreement meant that this did not happen at this time.
Negotiation recommenced in 1996 between Central Land Council, the Uniting Church, the Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority and the Parks and Wildlife Commission of the NT.
After considerable effort and input a suitable rock was identified in late 1998 and the Warumungu\Kaytetye stone was replaced with an Arrernte one; this time associated with Yeperenye (Caterpillar) Dreaming.
The historical reserve was listed on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate on 21 October 1980 and on the Northern Territory Heritage Register on 18 October 2003.

The Union Budget of India for 2020–2021 (IAST: ) was presented by the Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman on 1 February 2020 as her second budget.
Notably, Nirmala Sitharaman read out a Kashmiri poem during the budget speech in the Parliament as well as a Tamil couplet written by Thiruvalluvar.
The Union Budget is the annual financial report of India; an estimate of income and expenditure of the government on a periodical basis.
The Union budget in 2020 will be presented in a backdrop of a slowing down of the Indian economy with estimated GDP growth for 2019-20 being at an 11-year low of 5%.
Factors such as the IL&FS (shadow banker, NBFC) crisis contributed to the slowdown; as well as international financial markets issues such as the China - US trade war.
In January 2020 Western Asset Management Company has reduced its government bond holdings following the atmosphere in the country due to the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 and the situation in Kashmir which are affecting the economic spirit.
Defence pensions have been allocated while development of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has been allocated and the Union Territory of Ladakh .
The government plans to raise funds by selling a partial stake in Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) through an initial public offering (IPO).
Indian Institute of Heritage and Conservation to be set up and five sites Rakhigarhi, Hastinapur, Sivasagar, Dholavira and Adichanallur to be developed into world class archaeological sites.
Under the new regime, taxpayers will pay 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% for incomes between ₹5-7.5 lakh, ₹7.5-10 lakh, ₹10-12.5 lakh and ₹12.5-15 lakh, respectively.
Apart from modifying the definition of an NRI, non tax paying NRIs would be taxed in India if not paying taxes elsewhere.
Also, with reference to the budget allocation for Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, Chidambaram also said that money can't replace freedom.
As the Union budget was presented in the parliament, Nifty fell by over 3% (373.95 points) while Sensex fell by more than 2% (1000 points).
Economic Times reports some reasons for this including lack of sops for the automobile or real estate, confusion over new income tax slabs, high divestment targets () and abolition of dividend distribution tax.

In collaboration with MSTC the institute also features a simulation training center and maritime courses for both (external) maritime students and the professional field.
Most activities take place in the institutes main building, which was opened in 1966 and re-opened after a modernisation in 2019.
First and second year students normally reside in the newly constructed campus, consisting of four square buildings for housing (with four floors each).
A hemispherical electron energy analyzer or hemispherical deflection analyzer is a type of detector generally used for applications where high resolution of electron energy is needed, for example different varieties of electron spectroscopy such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy.
It is possible to demonstrate that in such a system, (i) the electrons are linearly dispersed along the direction connecting the entrance and the exit slit, depending on their kinetic energy, while (ii) electrons with the same energy are first-order focused.
In fact, only the electrons with energy formula_15 impinging normal to the entrance slit of the analyzer describe a trajectory of radius formula_16 and reach the exit slit, where they are revealed by the detector.
Though the resolution improves with increasing formula_20, technical problems related to the size of the analyzer put a limit on the actual value of formula_20.
Although a low pass energy formula_15 improves the resolution, the electron transmission probability is reduced at low pass energy, and the signal-to-noise ratio deteriorates, accordingly.
The electrostatic lenses in front of the analyzer have two main purposes: they collect and focus the incoming photoelectrons into the entrance slit of the analyzer, and they decelerate the electrons to the kinetic energy formula_15, in order to increase the resolution.
and hence the pass energy- are held fixed; at the same time, the voltage applied to the electrostatic lenses is swept in such a way that each channel counts electrons with the selected kinetic energy for the selected amount of time.
If the detector energy range is wide enough, and if the photoemission signal collected from all the channels is sufficiently strong, the photoemission spectrum can be obtained in one single shot from the image of the detector.
The nations finishing last (in Pool A) and second last (in Pool B) took part in a relegation play-off, with the losing nation relegated to Group II for 2021.

In statistics and machine learning, leakage (also data leakage, or target leakage) is the use of information in the model training process which would not be expected to be available at prediction time, causing the predictive scores (metrics) to overestimate the model's utility when run in a production environment.
Column-wise leakage is caused by the inclusion of columns which are one of: a duplicate label, a proxy for the label, or the label itself, when training the model which are not available at prediction time (anachronisms).
For example, if a model for predicting stock values is trained on data for a certain five-year period, it is unrealistic to treat the subsequent five-year period as a draw from the same population.
As another example, suppose a model is developed to predict an individual's risk for being diagnosed with a particular disease within the next year.
Goniopteris is a genus of ferns in the family Thelypteridaceae, subfamily Thelypteridoideae, in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I).

Demolition of Ile-Arugbo is the decision of the Committee on Review of Property of Kwara state government, north-central Nigeria released on 1 July 2019 to reclaim the plots of land acquired by the late Dr. Olusola Saraki without proper documentation.
The building was constructed on plots of land owned by Dr Saraki to foster for aged people who visited him during his lifetime.In 1970, the state acquired the land for the construction of the phase II of its secretariat which was later abandoned.
In 1982, only the State Clinic was completed from the project design while the remaining pieces of land were allocated to Asa investment company.The decision of the government was informed by the Committee on Review of Sales of Property of Kwara State Government from 1999 that the said land was acquired without proof of payment.
The government announced its decision to reclaim the land on the 27 of December 2019 before the demolition exercise took place on 2 January 2020.
The demolition led to varies mixed feeling between the faction loyal to the state government, on one hand, People Democratic Party and the Saraki's dynastic in Ilorin led by Senator Bukola Saraki, Senate president of the 8th Nigeria National Assembly.
The concept behind the structure is to serve as a platform for reaching out to aged people in Ilorin during the second republic where food, money and health care services are provided for the concerned people in the society..
The said land was acquired by the state in 1970 for the construction of its Civil Service Unit, State Secretariat and parking spaces which was later abandoned.
The controversy behind the demolition of the said property started on 27 December when an action informed by the decision of the Committee on Review of Sales of Property of Kwara state government since 1999 announced that the property opposite the family house of the late Dr Olusola Saraki was acquired without proof of payment..

Henry Eastburn (1753–1821) was a British draughtsman and civil engineer, known for his work on the canals of Great Britain, including the Basingstoke Canal, the Derwent and Rye navigations, and the Lancaster Canal.
As part of this work, Eastburn surveyed Hatfield Chase in 1776 and produced technical drawings such as that of the winding engine at Walker Colliery in 1783 and Aberdeen Harbour in 1788.
He succeeded William Wright in the role; during construction, Jessop had engaged John Rennie in checking the work performed by Wright and contractor John Pinkerton; the work was substandard and Eastburn was employed to oversee the canal's completion.
Upon the waterway's opening in 1794, Eastburn began surveying the Derwent in Yorkshire at the behest of William Fitzwilliam, 4th Earl Fitzwilliam; the proposal was to extend the current navigation from Malton to Yedingham.
Eastburn then was engaged as resident engineer on the southern Lancaster Canal, between Garstang and Wigan—a position he held until 1798; this work was performed under the supervision of John Rennie.
The following March, Eastburn was elected to the Smeatonian Society of Civil Engineers; after April 1790 he is listed in society proceedings as a country member.
Eastburn's will was written in December 1812, bequeathing his estate to his wife (or, in the event of her predeceasing him, his then-recently widowed daughter).
His precise date of death is not known, although he was buried at the church of St Maurice, Monkgate in York on 5 July 1821.

Report on an Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan of March 1927, often called the Hunan Report, is one of Mao Zedong's most famous and influential essays.
At time when the strategy of the Chinese Communist Party was based on urban workers, Mao advocated a revolution based on the peasantry, especially poor peasants.
Mao's peasant strategy led to disaster in the next few years but the Hunan Report's emphasis on violent struggle against the landlord class gradually become the dominant strategy in the Communist Party's land reform on its road to victory in 1949.
Mao left his home village in Hunan to graduate from Hunan Normal University, then become a teacher and labor organizer after joining the Communist Party.
a radical intellectual who organized the peasants of his home districts into Hailufeng Soviet, which redistributed land and promoted social change.
When the Communists joined the Nationalists in the First United Front, Peng headed the Peasant Movement Training Institute, of which Mao became co-leader.
The Nationalists, with communist support, launched the Northern Expedition in 1925 to unite the country and oust the imperialists, setting off mass demonstrations in the cities and uprisings of peasant associations in the countryside.
Chen Duxiu, the communist leader, feared that a radical policy would endanger the United Front and disrupt progress by arousing opposition from local powerholders, especially since officers of the revolutionary army tended to come from landholding families.
Mao, recognized by both parties as an expert on peasants, was sent to Hunan to investigate local conditions in areas through which Northern Expedition troops had just passed.
In this report, Mao Zedong details the actions and achievements of the Chinese peasants in Hunan in an attempt to sway his fellow revolutionaries' opinions on the capabilities of peasantry to communist revolution in China.
This article was written as a reply to the criticisms both inside and outside the Party then being leveled at the Chinese Peasantry.
Mao had spent thirty-two days in Hunan Province making an investigation and wrote this report in order to answer to the criticisms of the leadership of the CCP towards the peasantry.
Mao from that point on rejected the idea of peaceful land reform, arguing that peasants could not achieve true liberation unless they participated in the violent overthrow of the landlords.
In the short run the peasant strategy was disastrous, since neither local peasant associations nor the Party could stand up to the guns and organization of the local power holders or Chiang Kai-shek's armies.
But the Hunan Report marked a decisive turning point in the revolutionary strategy that eventually brought the Party to power in 1949.
Roy Hofheinz, Jr. writes that Mao's contribution at the time was not policy, since he skirts the issues of land confiscation or ownershop, but criticizing leaders for not taking a revolutionary attitude.
Mao attacked Nationalist and Communist leaders who looked down on these peasants and deplored violence, for violence was to be celebrated.
First, Mao bypassed the urban proletariat and second, relied on the initiative of the peasantry, not the Communist Party or the Comintern.
Meisner notes the irony: had not the White Terror nearly destroyed the fledgling Party and driven it from the cities, Mao's heresies might have cut short his career as a Communist.
The Report inspired radical groups around the world, such as the Naxalites in India, Sendero Luminosa in Peru, and Black Panthers in the United States.
Le Bazar de la Charité (The Bonfire of Destiny) is a French drama miniseries, that debuted on Netflix on 26 December 2019, after airing on French free-to-air channel TF1 during November–December 2019.
Le Bazar de la Charité (The Bonfire of Destiny) begins with the depiction of a true event, the fire at the Bazar de la Charité in Paris, May 4, 1897, in which 126 people died.
Planning to visit the bazaar is Adrienne de Lenverpré (Audrey Fleurot), an upper-class woman who seeks to escape from her marriage to her tyrant husband, Marc-Antoine de Lenverpré (Gilbert Melki), a candidate for the President of the Senate (France).
While Adrienne's niece, Alice de Jeansin, along with her close confident and maidservant, Rose Rivière, attend the bazaar the fire breaks out.
Adrienne, who had entered the event earlier but left to meet her paramour, realizes to her horror that she, too, could have been inside.

Nehemiah 3 is the third chapter of the Book of Nehemiah in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, or the 13th chapter of the book of Ezra-Nehemiah in the Hebrew Bible, which treats the book of Ezra and book of Nehemiah as one book.
This chapter records the detail of rebuilding the Jerusalem walls, starting from the north to west sections (verses 1-15), continued to south and east sections until reaching the starting point (verses 16-32).
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes Codex Leningradensis (1008).
Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; formula_1; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: formula_1; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; formula_1; 5th century).
In this part Nehemiah lists the process of rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem, starting with the people working on the north wall and its gates.
The north side of wall would have suffered 'the brunt of most attacks on Jerusalem, for those arriving from Mesopotamia' (cf.
Twenty-one work details were reported on this side of the wall, with the workers on the Fish Gate 'built' rather than 'repaired' the wall.
Leticia Gómez-Tagle received her first academic training in Mexico, where her professors were mainly Manuel Delaflor for piano and Angel Esteva Loyola for music theory.
She has won several prizes at youth piano competitions in Mexico, including the University of Puebla, and was awarded 1st prize at the Fomento Musical Sala Chopin, through which she received a scholarship from the Austrian governmental ministry and was thus able to take up studies in piano concert performance and instrumental pedagogy with Prof. Michael Krist at the Vienna Academy of Music.
She also received further musical impulses in Vienna from Prof. Carlos Rivera and in master classes with Paul Badura-Skoda, Jörg Demus, György Sándor and Orlando Otey.
Since her participation at the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1990, she has performed regularly at various music festivals in Mexico and Europe.
As a soloist, she has performed with numerous orchestras at home and abroad, including the Orquesta Filarmónica de México, Orquesta Sinfónica del IPN (Mexico), Orquesta Filarmónica de Querétaro, Symphonic Orchestra of the Music School Linz, and the Chamber Orchestra with members of the Bruckner Orchestra Linz under the direction of conductors such as Ingo Ingensand, Jesús Medina, Benjamín Juárez Echenique and Guadalupe Flores.
She has given master classes in Spain (Mallorca, Córdoba and Granada), Mexico (CENART University) and Lebanon at the Sin el-Fil Conservatory.
It is notable for its poetic representations of personal emotion, which made it an important early text in the Romantic literary movement.
The last edition to add new poems, the tenth edition in 1812, was two volumes, with fifty-nine sonnets and eight other poems.
Scholars have described her experiments with the sonnet form as pursuing a simpler, more natural, and more direct poetic language which matched the emotions she expressed better than the artificial language common to Italian sonnets.
The Romantic poet John Keats was indebted to Smith's innovations for his own attempts to devise a new, specifically English sonnet form.
Because Italian sonnets require many more rhymes on the same word ending, the Shakespearean sonnet form was considered to be easier than Petrarchan or Miltonic sonnets, and therefore less legitimate.
Smith's depiction of the natural world is notable for introducing a key Romantic theme in ways that don't match later Romantic depictions.
The Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge particularly praised the sonnets that make connections between nature and human feelings, a poetic technique which would come to be a defining trait of Romantic poetry.
However, in most of her poetry, Smith's depiction of nature differed from the later Romantics in that she was interested in the scientific details of the natural world.
Her depictions of nature are not typically transcendent experiences which are interesting for how they impact the poet's selfhood, but rather descriptions of real-life phenomena which are interesting for the intellectual challenges they pose to understanding.
The sonnet as a poetic form was first popular in English language during the Renaissance, but it had fallen out of use by the eighteenth century.
The sonnet ultimately became one of the leading poetic forms of Romantic poetry, used at some point by every major Romantic poet except William Blake.
The sonnet form, as a classic and almost old-fashioned kind of writing, carried a cultural legitimacy which was lacking in newer genres like the novel.

Ewald Ammende (3 January 1893 in Pernau, Livonia, Russian Empire - 15 April 1936 in Peking, China) was an Estonian journalist, human rights activist and politician of Baltic German origin.
After attending high school in Pernau, from 1910 he studied commerce at the Polytechnic in Riga, economics in Cologne and in Tübingen, and received his doctorate in political science at the Christian-Albrecht University in Kiel.
Following the division of the historical region of Livonia into Estonia and Latvia, Ammende began to campaign for national minorities in the international politics.
He became a strong advocate of ethnic minority right and established an umbrella organization to represent ethnic minority organizations (not only those of ethnic Germans).
Ammende assumed that a solution of the national questions would not be feasible by way of irredentism and therefore sought a balance between interests of ethnic groups and nation states on the basis of mutual recognition.
In his function as secretary-general of the ENK, he was instrumental in assisting the Jewish associations in submission of the Bernheim petition, which discredited him to the National Socialists.
At the same time he came into conflict with the US and the Soviet government because of various aid actions and campaigns of the ENK.
Ammende also discussed in his book systematic oppression of various minorities in Ukraine, including the Poles, Magyars, Romanians, Jews, Belorussians and Crimean Germans.
Although Ewald Ammende's rejection of the National Socialists was already known at the time of publication, the Soviet authorities accused the ENK that the book was promoting the National Socialist propaganda.
This misleading representation took over in the post-war period, among other East German historians, all the way to the modern research literature.
Some historians go so far as to label the entire international campaign of the ENK on the famine awareness as part of the anti-Comintern policy of the Nazi regime.
Ammende used in his book uncredited photos made by Alexander Wienerberger during his work in Kharkiv in 1933; these photos are currently well known and were reprinted on many occasions.
Ewald Ammende died on April 15, 1936 under obscure circumstances in Beijing, where he wanted to meet with representatives of Jewish minorities from Valdgeym (Jewish National District in Far East).
Obituaries appeared in many European newspapers, in which the details of the cause of death ranged from murder, suicide, heart attack, stroke up to the sugar shock (which is currently considered a possible reason, due to family history of the same disease).
After his death, his brother, and his right-hand man, Erich Ammende, took over the management of the ENK as an interim charge.

The Yokohama Shindō (横浜新道) is a major highway located entirely in the city of Yokohama in the Greater Tokyo Area of Japan.
It is signed as a bypass of National Route 1 as well as being partially designated as an expressway numbered E83.
The Yokohama Shindō is a bypass that travels from the southwestern corner of the Yokohama in Totsuka-ku northeast through Hodogaya-ku to Kanagawa-ku.
The route that would eventually become the free section of the Yokohama Shindō was established in 1948 during the Occupation of Japan as a bypass of the older Tōkaidō.
After the occupation's end in 1952, management of the road was handed over to the Japan Highway Public Corporation and the road was designated as a bypass of National Route 1 on 4 December 1952..
The Aquarium boosted the popularity of the area; land near the Aquarium was subdivided and sold as The Queensport Aquarium Estate.
The return fare on the steamers Natone, the Woolwich or the Alice cost two shillings for adults and one shilling for a child.
Daytime activities included sports days to celebrate the new year, picnics on Foundation Day (as Australia Day was then known) and, in May 1891, the amazing sight of a hot air balloon delighted the crowd.
The Aquarium was not greatly troubled by the large flood in 1890, even though the wharf in the city was inundated.
However, in the flood on 5 and 6 February 1893 tore down the fences, liberating many of the animals, and ruined the carefully landscaped gardens.
Before long, J D Campbell and the Aquarium Company advertised the sale of the steamers and, although picnic parties from the city continued to travel to dances and picnics, the Aquarium's popularity had diminished by the end of the 19th century.

In late 2019, various media outlets have reported on alleged efforts by the People's Republic of China to infiltrate the Parliament of Australia by recruiting a spy to run in a constituency during an election.
The alleged plot was made public during the November 24 airing of 60 Minutes on Australia's Nine Network, citing sources with knowledge of the plot.
In 2018, the incident was reported by the man who was approached with the offer to the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO).
While the cases are unrelated, reports on this incident came after claims by defected Chinese spy Wang Liqiang of Chinese operations in Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Zhao's former business associates have described him as an ambitious man who got ahead of himself and wanted to make money quick.
According to court records, Zhao was charged with obtaining financial advantage by deception in 2017, due to accusations he obtained loans via fraudulent means in order to buy luxury vehicles.
Authorities have not been able to establish the cause of Zhao's death, nor have they been able to establish why Zhao died.
Records kept by the Liberal party show Zhao as a party member in the Division of Chisholm from 2015 until his death.
Andrew Hastie, a Liberal MP who chairs the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security , describe Zhao as a paid-up member of the Liberal Party.
They say Zhao attended at least one branch gathering with members of his immediate family before the 2016 Federal election, but did not otherwise agitate to become an MP himself.
A senior Liberal Party member with knowledge of membership lists also said Zhao was not known to senior party members, by any measure.
Chen is known to have made political donations to Australia's two major political parties, and his company is known to be promoting China's Belt and Road Initiative, leading to accusations he is using the Belt and Road Initiative as a cover to conduct intelligence operations.
Chen himself has denied the allegations, claiming photos of him donning Chinese military uniforms were merely him borrowing a friend's military uniform to show off, and that he was given journalist accreditation by a media outlet owner in order for him to attend international political summits.
In the 2019 Federal election, Gladys Liu was elected as a Liberal Party MP for the Division of Chisholm, beating out a Labor Party candidate of Taiwanese heritage in a surprise victory.
Even prior to details of the infiltration plot being made public, Liu was accused of being a member of the China Overseas Exchange Association, which belonged to the State Council of the People's Republic of China at the time of her membership.
In addition, Liu has been accused of being an honorary chair of overseas Chinese trade and commerce bodies that are believed to be linked to the Chinese Communist Party's United Front Work Department.
Reports on this incident has brought renewed attention to allegations against Liu, especially since at least two photos show Liu and Zhao at a meeting that was held in Liu's former home during Australia Day in 2016.
It was noted that Zhao's legal and financial troubles would have made it almost impossible for him to be selected by the Liberals as a candidate, let alone win the election.
Monash University lecturer Sow Keat Tok said while the repercussions would have been huge if the allegations are true and Zhao was elected, it would still have taken Zhao years, if not decades, to get into the inner circle of the Australian decision-makers.
A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of Upper Hunter on 7 June 1875 caused by the death of sitting member Francis White.
Since joining, Mali has been an active member of the Fund, having made 18 arrangements to borrow money since its membership began, primarily aimed at addressing stability and security issues in the country.
Though Mali has had a steadily positive GDP growth rate since 2011 and a large amount of natural gold reserves, its economic and social fragility have caused developmental challenges as ethnic violence and terrorism weaken the government.
The IMF projects that Mali will continue to have a GDP growth rate of around 5%, and a contained level of inflation, but warns that the situation could rapidly deteriorate without the implementation of programs for stability and resilience.
Mali is currently ranked as one of the world's poorest countries by the United Nations Development Programme, and their agriculture-heavy economy leaves them vulnerable to weather issues.
Demographic issues have led to a uniquely unstable situation that has been exploited by militant groups, threatening the centralization and stability of the government.
The Mali Empire was one of the richest in the world at the time, and its mineral wealth was renowned across the world.
Though the empire was replaced by other nations such as the Songhai Empire and the Fulani Empire, the natural wealth of the region made it a trade center through to the 19th century.
Ultimately, the Malian nations collapsed under internal religious pressures and external political influence from the French empire and they were integrated into French Sudan.
Mali gained its independence in 1960, and moved to implement socialist policies designed in the style of the Soviet system at the time.
This would not last long, however, and in 1968, a coup ensued and the new government moved to implement economic reforms.
The austerity imposed by these reforms led to unrest, however, and by the 1990's the nation had transitioned to a new democratic state.
Mali has been a heavy borrower from the IMF, currently owing about 238 million SDRs, the equivalent of around $327 million.
The IMF claims that these projects have seen success in spite of the difficult conditions, helping quell instability and address trade concerns.
Mali has been praised for its efforts in meeting both IMF goals and those set by the West African Economic and Monetary Union, of which it is a founding member.
To address this issue, the IMF recently approved a new loan to work on improving administrative inefficiencies and combat rising fuel prices.
Other areas of focus include the struggling state energy company which is currently going through financial difficulties, and vulnerability to shocks from fluctuating prices of gold, cotton, and fuel.
IMF research claims that much of Mali's instability and structural issues stem from the 2012 Malian coup d'état in northern Mali.
During this period of governmental transition, the separatists and jihadists were able to strengthen their control of the northern regions, further weakening the new administration.
Eventually, infighting amongst the separatists and rebels allowed international forces to restore order to the region and take back control from the jihadists.
The north continues to face unrest and instability, but projects like the United Nations' MINUSMA have aimed to restore governmental control over the region and defeat the remaining rebels and insurgents.
The recurrent attacks and insurgencies has hindered IMF staff's ability to implement their programs to address government reform and economic policy.
Security spending had to be adjusted to face the immediate threat to the nation, and as such public spending had to be dropped down.
The IMF's projects to address this involve stabilization of tax revenue collection, promoting trade, and encouraging structural stability in wake of the coup.
To be able to implement effective measures, they recommend increasing taxes to improve their tax-to-GDP ratio relative to their West African neighbors.
In association with France and the UN, some agreements have been made between the government and the Tuareg separatists, allowing for elections to take place.
The reliance on mining leaves them vulnerable to exploitation by multi-national enterprises shifting their profits to other countries, causing Mali to lose out on tax streams.
The IMF has recommended programs to close down loopholes in their tax system to force multinational enterprises to contribute further to Mali's tax base.
Although the authorities have taken steps to follow IMF suggestions and increase tax revenue, overly optimistic budget projections have clouded attempts to fix the issue.
50% of the population is under 15, and their population is expected to increase from 18 million to 45 million by 2050.

The state visit of Deng Xiaoping to the United States () was the first official visit by a paramount leader of China to the US.
Deng undertook the visit in his official capacities as the First Vice Premier of the State Council and the Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
He was welcomed to the White House with full military honors from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), Ceremonial Company A at Marine Barracks Washington, the United States Navy Ceremonial Guard, the United States Air Force Honor Guard, the United States Coast Guard Ceremonial Honor Guard as well as the United States Army Band.
The evening of 29 January, a state dinner was held in honor of Deng and his delegation at the White House.
It marked the first return of former President Richard Nixon to the White House since his resignation speech in August 1974.
Originally, President Carter refused to invite Nixon, however Deng had stated that he would visit him at his California residence if he was not invited.
Following the dinner, Deng and Carter went to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to witness performances by groups such as the Joffrey Ballet as well as singers such as John Denver and Shirley MacLaine.
In Atlanta he visited the headquarters of Coca Cola and later toured the Atlanta Assembly owned by the Ford Motor Company in Hapeville.
On the morning of 2 February, he arrived at Houston Intercontinental Airport where he was greeted by Mayor of Houston Jim McConn.
That evening, he was presented a stetson cowboy hat during a rodeo he attended in Simonton hosted by what is now the Greater Houston Partnership.
He arrived in the evening on 3 February at Boeing Field in Seattle before being transported to the Washington Plaza Hotel.
He was accompanied by United States Secretary of Energy James R. Schlesinger, Governor Dixy Lee Ray and Senators Warren Magnuson and Henry M. Jackson.
Four days prior to his visit, a group of anti-Deng protesters broke the entrance glass to what is now the Embassy of China in Washington, D.C. During the welcoming ceremony at the White House, two protesters were taken away from the press area after chanting anti-China slogans.
The KKK member, who rushed to the podium where Deng was speaking with a knife, was intercepted by an agent of the United States Secret Service.
This visit led to agreements in September 1980 on maritime affairs, civil aviation links, and textile matters, as well as a bilateral consular convention.
The New Hampshire Avenue–Maryland Line, designated Route K6, is a daily bus route operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority between Fort Totten station of the Red & Green lines of the Washington Metro and White Oak Shopping Center.
K6 still continued to operate all the way between the White Oak Shopping Center & Metro Center in Downtown Washington D.C., all the way up until February 19, 1978.
On February 19, 1978, shortly after the Fort Totten Metro Station opened, K6 was truncated to only operate between the White Oak Shopping Center & Fort Totten Metro Station.
However; while K6 would continue to operate all the way between the Fort Totten Metro Station & White Oak Shopping Center, K9 would only operate between the Fort Totten Metro Station & Northwest Park Apartments.
Although, K6 & K9 would mainly operate parallel to each other on the New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650) corridor between the intersection of Eastern Avenue NE & the Northwest Park Apartments, K9's routing would also differ from K6's routing between the Fort Totten Metro Station and intersection of New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650) & Eastern Avenue NE.

International Medical Products Price Guide, formerly known as International Drug Price Indicator Guide, lists drug price information for WHO Essential Medicines.
The guide has been published annually since 1986 with the World Health Organization becoming involved in 2000, though has not been updated since 2015.
The guide includes these for information purpose only and cautions that buyer prices should not be used as an international reference price.
The prices generally do not include transportation or insurance costs, and an additional handling fees may be charged by some suppliers.
The degree to which this price is representative internationally depends on the quantity of suppliers quoting a price for a given product.
A price survey can compare the local price to this international reference price, and may assess the affordability of treatment in terms of local wages.
The WHO/HAI project selects 50 medicines to survey, including 14 global core medicines, 16 regional core medicines and 20 supplementary medicines.
Dividing the median unit local procurement price for each medicine, by the median unit price from international suppliers in the guide, produces the Median Price Ratio (MPR).
Generally, in the developing world, the availability of medicines (including essential medicines) through the public health sector is low, requiring individuals to purchase from the private sector.
The prices in the private sector are often many times (and can be up to 80 times) the international reference price.
External reference pricing is the practice of setting drug prices in one country by comparing to a basket of prices from other countries.
For example, Pakistan uses prices from Bangladesh and India, while Iran uses prices from Greece, Spain, Turkey and the drug country of origin.
Drug price data from LMICs can be lacking, and in such situations, international medicine prices can be obtained from the International Medical Products Price Guide.
The defined daily dose is not a standard therapeutic dose nor necessarily agree with any average prescribed daily dose in practice.
While this technical metric could be used, for example, to compare the costs of two formulations of the same drug, WHO state that it should not be used for detailed pricing or therapeutic-class cost comparisons.
Both the ACT code and DDD are deliberately stable and if typical therapeutic use of the drug or prescribing practice changes or varies between countries, the codes may not reflect local or current practice.

During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Crossover Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Range where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.

It is situated south of Lightning Lake, north of the Canada–United States border, and north-northeast of Castle Peak, which is its nearest higher peak.
Frosty Mountain is the highest peak in E. C. Manning Provincial Park, and is part of the Hozameen Range which is a subrange of the Cascade Range.
The peak was first climbed on September 2, 1904, by Sledge Tatum and George Loudon Jr., two members of a Boundary Survey group led by Edward C. Barnard.
In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks, granite spires, ridges, and deep glacial valleys.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences.
As fronts approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades (Orographic lift).
As a result, the west side of the North Cascades experiences higher precipitation than the east side, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall.
During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but, due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer.

Most of the figurines were found in the Temple of the Obelisks, in which 20 votive deposits and pitchers containing a variety of such figurines were found, along with a smaller, but important group of them found in the neighboring Temple of Baalat Gebal.
The majority of the statuettes were found at archaeological sites in sealed pottery jars, together with tools, weapons, jewelry, and other ritual objects.
The first group found was located at the Temple of Baalat Gebal and information about them was published by archaeologists Montet and Dunand.
In 1966, however, Negbi and Moskowitz suggested instead, that the various objects discovered were hidden away in haste, ahead of an impending catastrophe.
The statuettes measure 3–38 cm tall, mostly represent males, and have tangs projecting from their feet that would have allowed them to be placed onto bases.
Based on an inscription on a large obelisk at the Temple of the Obelisks, the male ones are interpreted to resemble Resheph, the Phoenician deity of war and plague.
They are interpreted as votive offerings because they were not found in graves and were not dispersed widely enough to be part of exchange networks.

Currently, she is a professor of environmental economics, at the London School of Economics (2008–present) and the head of department of geography and environment since 2017.
Mourato is also a Fellow at the Centre for Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment (CSERGE) at the University of East Anglia.
She is involved in Climate for Cultur, part of the Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development, an ecosystem services work package for the UK National Ecosystem Assessment, and the United Nations Development Programme.
Mourato's research interests are in economic valuation, cost–benefit analysis, well-being and life satisfaction, and cultural heritage, with a focus on economic valuation methods for the environment and its association to health impacts, ecosystem services and climate change.
Her current work examines the monetary values associated with environmental impacts on UK-based policies using a cost-benefit analysis approach, and the perception and effectiveness of re-introducing nuclear technology in Italy.
In conjunction with the UK Department of Transport, Susana Mourato along with co-authors Ian Bateman, Richard Carson, Brett Day, Michael Hanemann, Nick Hanley, Michael Jones-Lee, Graham Loomes, Ece Ozdemiroglu, David Pearce (economist), Robert Sugden (economist), and John Swanson compiled a manual used for guiding stakeholders to assess and evaluate the monetary values of such usage and impacts from ecosystem services.
Within the book, the chapters are divided into several focuses including: economic values, measurement and techniques of economic values, stages of stated preference work and organizing the results.
The authors outline the steps necessary to conduct a stated preference study by using two alternate methods: choice modelling and contingent valuation.
These surveying methods concentrates on the willingness to pay by consumers and with the collected sample data to be analyzed through various statistical tests.
In conjunction with Giles Atkinson, Stefan Szymanski and Ece Ozemiroglum, Susana Mourato and her colleagues examines the willingness to fund the 2012 Summer Olympics held in London, England.
The responses highlighted the relative importance of categories including a sense of national pride, environmental developments, promoting healthy living, increased risks, and transport congestions.
Using a period of 10 years, results reported an average household yearly WTP of £22 (London), £11 (Glasglow), and £12 (Manchester).
The preference of London residents for funding was through an increase in Council Tax, however, Manchester and Glasgow residents opted for the 10 year voluntary contribution instead.
The paper suggests an analysis of the willingness to pay effectively explains the net benefits in favour of other forms of economic impact assessments.
Together with Stephen Gibbons and Guilherme M. Resende, Mourato has researched the impact of property prices associated with the desirability and amenity value of natural environments.
They used the hedonic price method to broaden current evidence on environmental values by gathering a sample data of 1 million housing prices and transactions in Great Britain over a 13 year period (1996–2008).
George MacKerron and Susana Mourato explores the link between human well-being and their presence in the environment that affect one's happiness scale.
The app with extensive promotion and coverage in the media collected questionnaire data based on GPS coordinates from 21,947 UK participants for the study.
Individuals responded to a series of signals where the data were embedded with three indicators of spatial statistics: land cover classification, weather, and daylight setting.
Moreover, as the majority of higher return to happiness occurred outdoors, seaside locations scored 6 points higher on a 0 to 100 scale than in a conurbation.
This paper by Susana Mourato and Tanya O'Garra explores the necessary shifts toward climate change adaptation and mitigation policies in developing countries.
Resilience to climate change effects requires rigorous strategies and an available amount of resources, amongst those is capital accumulation with the support from financial and investment institutions such as the World Bank and Green Climate Fund.
The authors conducted a study with a sample of 1066 electronic surveys using the contingent valuation method for willingness to pay in the form of taxes.
Steps taken to conduct the analysis include: ensuring participant awareness of climate change, selecting a valuation technique and deriving the willingness to pay for an individual.
It was found that the willingness to pay by United Kingdom residents to fund developing countries' adaptation to climate change was £27 or $30 USD per year.
Further calculations reports on average per year, an individual's tax would have to be between $100 to $140 USD to be sufficient enough to properly fund the adaptation initiative.
Furthermore, Mourato and O'Garra suggest more effective communication between a stakeholder's personal beliefs and understanding contributes to forming choices on public support towards successful adaptation.

Proportionality can be guaranteed when the items are divisible, but not when they are indivisible, even if all agents have identical valuations.
In contrast, MMS fairness can always be guaranteed to identical agents, so it is a natural alternative to proportionality even when the agents are different.
The sum of values is 24, and it is divisible by 3, so ideally we would like to give each person a value of at least 8, but this is not possible.
Here, an allocation is MMS-fair if it gives Alice a value of at least 7, George a value of at least 8, and Dina a value of at least 3.
For example, the in which George gets the first two items {1,7}, Alice gets the next two items {5,6}, and Dina gets the last item {17} is MMS-fair.
It is the minimal utility that an agent could feel entitled to, based on the following argument: if all the other agents have the same preferences as me, there is at least one allocation that gives me this utility, and makes every other agent (weakly) better off; hence there is no reason to give me less.
An alternative interpretation is: the most preferred bundle the agent could guarantee as divider in divide and choose against adversarial opponents: the agent proposes her best allocation and leaves all the other ones to choose one share before taking the remaining one.
An allocation is MMS-fair iff no agent objects to it, i.e., for every agent, in every partition there exists a bundle which is weakly worse than his current share.
Bouveret and Lemaître performed extensive randomized simulations for more than 2 agents, and found that MMS-fair allocations exist in every trial.
Such an error is reasonable when allocating course seats among students, since a small excess supply can be corrected by adding a small number of seats.

The flagship publication series of the International Organization for Migration, the World Migration Report presents key data and information on migration together with balanced, evidence-based analysis of complex and emerging migration issues.
Released on 27 November 2019 at the 110th Session of the IOM Council, the World Migration Report 2020 is the tenth in the series.
The report is a highly collaborative venture, drawing on expertise of IOM staff specialising in migration programme delivery, policy development and migration research and analysis, as well as leading migration researchers from around the world.
The World Migration Report 2020 has 11 chapters, the first of which presents a number of highlights from the report and outlines the report’s structure.
The other 10 chapters aim to inform current and future policy deliberations and discussions by providing a clear identification of the key issues, a critical overview of relevant research and analysis, and a discussion of the implications for future research and policymaking.
Chapter 2 draws upon global sources of data to provide an overview of key figures and trends regarding the stocks and flows of international migrants, as well as remittances.
After an initial review of overall migrant stocks and flows, the chapter looks at these trends for specific migrant groups, including migrant workers, refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons, and stateless persons.
Chapter 3 focuses on key regional dimensions of, and developments in, migration in six world regions: Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, Northern America, and Oceania.
Recognizing that the ever-growing nature of migration research has made it difficult to determine which outputs are important and what should be given weight, Chapter 4 provides guidance to those seeking broad guidance on the subject.
It conducts a comprehensive review of the migration research and analysis produced by actors, including individuals, academics, governments, intergovernmental organizations, and think tanks.
Chapter 6 focuses on migrants’ social cohesion in destination countries, looking at how they adapt to new cultures, customs, social values, and language.
It takes a local perspective, discussing the important role played by local actors and migrants themselves, and as well as the importance of policy settings that are directly and indirectly related to inclusion.
It recognizes that while migration can lead to a greater exposure to health risks, it can also lead to improved health.
The relationship between migration and the health of the wider population is also considered, as are healthcare systems’ responses and the global governance of migration and health.
The focus of Chapter 8 is unsafe child migration, where migrant children do not accompany or follow the family in a safe environment.
The different types and key drivers of child migration are reviewed, before a discussion of the main issues in confronting child migrants.
As extreme weather events and large-scale changes in infrastructure continue to occur, Chapter 9 looks at the ever-increasing role that environmental and climate change plays in decisions to migrate.
After an exploration of the different perspectives on the issue, examples of environmental migration from a range of ecological zones – including mountainous, dryland and coastal areas, as well as cities – are provided.
While anybody may be affected by a crisis – including disasters, conflicts and political and economic crises – migrants are often among the most vulnerable and may require additional support.
Chapter 10 therefore looks at the experiences of migrants in crisis contexts, and at the effectiveness of local, national, and international in meeting the different needs of migrants.
The report has featured in articles released in the academic journal The Lancet on five occasions, as well as books released by Cambridge University Press and Oxford University Press.
It has also been attributed as a source in reports produced by the Finnish government and Save the Children, The SAGE Handbook of International Migration, the United Nation’s 2018 World Happiness Report and an Oxford Research Encyclopedia focusing on migrants and refugees in Africa.
Media outlets such as CNN Español, the World Economic Forum and Reuters have published articles that utilize the World Migration Report 2020 as a resource to discuss contemporary migration trends.

Yoga began in India as a mainly meditational practice, and with the development of modern, postural, yoga as exercise has spread across the world and returned to the Indian subcontinent in different forms.
Medieval Haṭha yoga made use of a small number of asanas alongside other techniques such as pranayama, shatkarmas, and mudras, but it was despised and almost extinct by the start of the 20th century, when Indian nationalism helped to revive interest in postural yoga.
Advocates such as Yogendra and Kuvalayananda made yoga acceptable in the 1920s, treating it as a medical subject, while Krishnamacharya developed postural yoga with transitions (vinyasas) that allowed one pose to flow into the next.
His pupils K. Pattabhi Jois and B. K. S. Iyengar brought yoga to the West and developed it further, founding their own schools and training yoga teachers.
Once in the West, yoga quickly became mixed with other activities, becoming less spiritual and more energetic as well as commercial.
Westernized postural yoga returned to India to rejoin the many forms already in the country, transformed by the pizza effect on its round trip.
Western yoga tourists, attracted initially by The Beatles' 1968 visit to India, came to study yoga in centres such as Rishikesh and Mysore.
From 2015, India, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, held an annual International Day of Yoga, the armed forces and civil service being joined in mass demonstrations by members of the public.
Its objectives were to force the vital fluid prana into the central sushumna channel of the subtle body to raise kundalini energy, enabling Samadhi (absorption) and ultimately Moksha (liberation).
Hatha yoga made use of a small number of asanas, mainly seated; in particular, there very few standing poses before 1900.
By the end of the 19th century, Hatha yoga was almost extinct in India, practised by people on the edge of society, despised by Hindus and the British Raj alike.
That changed when Yogendra (from 1918) and Kuvalayananda (from 1924) began to teach yoga as a means of attaining physical wellbeing, and to study its medical effects.
They accordingly emphasised the physical practices of Haṭha yoga, the asanas and yoga breathing (pranayama), at the expense of its more esoteric practices such as purifications (shatkarmas), the mudras intended to manipulate the vital forces, and indeed any mention of the subtle body or liberation.
They were soon followed by Krishnamacharya at the Mysore Palace; he experimented with many new yoga asanas and transitions (vinyasas) between them, creating a dynamic style of postural yoga.
One factor influencing the popularity of yoga as exercise was Indian nationalism; having strong bodies meant being a strong country which could shake off colonial rule.
Another was photography: complex body positions could for the first time be captured in a photograph rather than a thousand hard-to-follow words.
The 20th century saw a series of yoga gurus establish schools of yoga across India, training yoga teachers, and sometimes becoming brands known around the world: Krishnamacharya and his pupils K. Pattabhi Jois and B. K. S. Iyengar, and Sivananda among them.
Iyengar founded Iyengar Yoga, a precise style that emphasises correct alignment, using supports where necessary, based at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Institute (RIMYI) in Pune.
The practice of the medieval seated asanas survived into the 20th century in Calcutta, and was cultivated by Buddha Bose and Bishnu Ghosh.
The Calcutta-born yoga teacher Bikram Choudhury (born 1944) claimed falsely to have learnt Hatha Yoga directly from Ghosh; actually he began yoga in 1969, influenced by Ghosh's writings, emigrating to America in 1971 to found Bikram Yoga.
Fleeing legal action in America for sexual abuse and other matters, Choudhury returned to India in 2016, opening several yoga studios.
On its arrival in the West, yoga became mixed with a variety of Western activities and concepts, from gymnastics to psychotherapy, Western occultism and New Age religion.
Yoga has grown into a widespread and valuable commodity and form of exercise, ranging from gentle to energetic, and practised by millions across the Western world.
In 1968, the English rock band the Beatles travelled to Rishikesh to take part in a Transcendental Meditation training course at Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram.
It had become sleek, modern, a sign of health and fitness and urban cool; it had in large part lost its close association with Hinduism, and had indeed become almost wholly a form of exercise rather than religion of any kind.
In 1992 the anthropologist Sarah Strauss spent 11 months at the Sivananda ashram in Rishikesh, practising postural yoga as well as observing what had happened to it in India.
In 2014, the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, persuaded the United Nations General Assembly to create an annual International Day of Yoga.
Modi is a member of the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist volunteer organisation.
Modi personally led a mass yoga demonstration of over 35,000 participants on the first Day of Yoga in New Delhi; across India, the Indian Armed Forces ran demonstrations on the decks of warships and high in the Himalayas, while politicians and civil servants from India's large bureacracy joined demonstrations in cities from Chennai to Kolkata and Lucknow.

Eden Francis (born 19 October 1988 in Leicester) is an English female athlete who competes in the shot put and discus.
Francis competed in both events at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland finishing 6th in the shot put and 7th in the discus.
She was the first British (male or female) athlete to win the discus event at the European Athletics U23 Championships, winning in Kaunus, Lithuania in 2009.
The other six British titles were won outdoors with the discus in 2012 and 2014 and the shot put in 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2014.
The simple view of reading is a scientific theory of reading comprehension, originally described by psychologists Philip Gough and William Tunmer in 1986 and modified by Wesley Hoover and Philip Gough in 1990.
The simple view proposes that reading comprehension is the product of decoding ability (word recognition processes) and language understanding (oral language comprehension processes).
In setting out the simple view, Gough and Tunmer were responding to an ongoing dispute among psychologists, researchers and educationalists about the contribution of decoding to reading comprehension.
This dispute was one front of what came to be known as the reading wars, a protracted and often heated series of debates about aspects of reading research, instruction and policy in anglophone countries during the twentieth century.
The original empirical support for the simple view came from multiple regression studies showing the independent contributions of decoding and linguistic comprehension to silent reading comprehension.
The reading rope is a visualization of the simple view published by psychologist Hollis Scarborough in 2001, showing the interactivity of decoding and language comprehension (and their sub-components) in producing fluent reading comprehension.
By depicting strands winding together to form 'the rope' of skilled reading, the visualization expands the simple view to include the cognitive sub-components as integral to the process of skilled reading.
Others have noted that, by distinguishing the two components of reading comprehension, the simple view assists teachers by showing that their students may differ in their abilities in the two components and therefore require different teaching strategies to support their reading development.
First, it is not a model: It does not tell us how decoding and linguistic comprehension operate or how they develop.
Second, in testing predictions of the Simple View, the field has been inconsistent in how the key constructs are defined and measured.
To fully understand reading development, we need more precise models that detail the cognitive processes operating within the decoding and linguistic comprehension components of the Simple View.

Stanback has given given large sums of money to environmental groups but has also funded anti-immigration groups because of his concerns about over-population.
Stanback served as treasurer and chairman of the board before his 25% share in the company was purchased by William Stanback, Jr. Stanback resigned from these positions but continued on with the company to manage its pension fund.
He also offers substantial support to regional environmental groups such as the Southern Environmental Law Center and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy.
Stanback donated to support environmental programs at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and Catawba College, and an internship program at his alma mater, Duke University.
The Federation for American immigration Reform, the Center for Immigration Studies, NumbersUSA, and Progressives for Immigration Reform were the programs that Duke removed.
Stanback said he had met with the leaders of these groups and did not detect any hint of racism about them.
Stanback has donated at least hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Federation for American Immigration Reform, founded by John Tanton.
It was written in 1973 by the French monarchist and travel writer Jean Raspail and shows how third-world immigration supposedly would destroy western civilization.
In 2008, Stanback and his wife, Alice, received the North Carolina Award, the state's highest civilian honor, for their public service.

Charlot Jeudy (January 1, 1984 – November 25, 2019) was a Haitian activist who has been involved in the emergence of an LGBT rights movement in Haiti.
He was a leading figure in the M community (Masisi, Madivin, Monkonpè, Makomè, Mix) in Haiti, as well as a human rights activist with his involvement in Kouraj.
Since 2009, Charlot Jeudy has been struggling with his friends to demonstrate the importance of an organizational structure that promotes LGBT rights in Haiti as he has been the victim of several acts of discrimination.
After 2 years, AMIAMI became KOURAJ in December 2011, integrating other priorities such as the fight against homophobia and transphobia within Haitian society.
He was under pressure but persevered by planning another interview, this time on television, where he publicly stated that he was the president of KOURAJ, an organization defending the homosexual community.
With the help of external partners, the first International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia was held in Haiti on May 17, 2012, to raise awareness among the Haitian population of the need to respect sexual orientation and gender identity.
In 2013 KOURAJ was led by a team of 7 people of which he was the president and 70 active members.
Massimadi Haiti was intended as an opportunity to present for the first time the realities of LGBTQ communities through films, exhibitions and discussions.
Instead, the organisers must cancel everything, particularly because of the death threats to which some have been subjected, and the national turn and international media coverage of the subject in the news.
On August 3, 2018, the United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti unveiled a community-based intervention project led by LGBTI people.
Its principle is to fight homophobia by promoting a culture of peace and positive values such as law, tolerance, equality, non-discrimination, respect for human life choices and human security.
To this end, the MINUJUSTH Human Rights Section has found a partner in the Kouraj association and its President Charlot Jeudy.
The Azores, an autonomous region of Portugal in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, has experienced the effects of at least 16 Atlantic hurricanes, or storms that were once tropical or subtropical cyclones.
In 1089, under the rule of Robert I of Flanders, deans of St. Donatian's Cathedral were also given the role of chancellors of the County of Flanders.
In this role, they were not only responsible for the administration of the county; it also allowed them to develop an important ecclesiastical seigniory with its own administration and court.
He – and the 17 successive Bishops who would serve the city until the end of the regime – was also given the role of dean and chancellor.
The current building dates from 1665-1666 and was designed by Antwerp architect Cornelis Verhouven and canon Frederic Hillewerve (also from Antwerp).
Lady Justice can be seen above and the Greek gods of truth, charity and justice can be seen on the top pediment.
This was necessary, as the east wall – which was not meant to be seen – was exposed when St. Donatian's Cathedral was demolished at the beginning of the 19th century.
The former provostry was given its current measurements in 1907 when it was extended by the addition of six bays on the left-hand side (towards the Markt) following the demolition of a number of houses.
Jacob Erhard Wilhjelm Gemzøe (25 July 1896 — 4 April 1986), was a Danish chess player, Danish Chess Championship winner (1928).

Defense strategy (in computing) is a concept and practice used by computer designers, users, and IT personnel to help reduce the risk of computer security or cyber-security problems.
Boundary protection employs different security measures and devices to prevent unauthorized access to computer systems (referred to as controlling the system border).
This strategy is based on the assumption that the system has been penetrated, but an intruder cannot prevent the defensive mechanism from being employed.
Examples of this strategy include using the Access level, using a Trusted Platform Module, using a microkernel, using Diode (unidirectional network device), and using air gaps.
This strategy is based on the assumption that the system has been penetrated, but the intruder does not know the architecture of the system and its processes.
The strategy is based on the assumption that the system has been penetrated, but the intruder is not able to decrypt information, or does not have enough time to decrypt it.
For example, encrypting the file system or using encryption software can render the data useless even if an attacker gets access to the file system.Using Data masking, were sensitive data is hidden in non-sensitive data with modified content.
The strategy is based on the assumption that the damage from information disclosure would be greater than the damage caused by deleting the information or disabling the system required to gain access to the information.
Examples of this strategy include information deletion as a response to a security violation (such as unauthorized access attempts) and password resets.
Information redundancy is a strategy performing different security measures to keep redundancy for information and using it in case of damage.
The strategy is based on the assumption that finding and repairing the damage is more complicated than the restoration of the system.
Limiting of actions made by a robot is a strategy performing different security measures to limit a robot's (software bot) actions.
The strategy is based on the assumption that a robot can take more actions, or create damage that a human cannot create.
Examples of this strategy include using anti-spam techniques, using CAPTCHA and other human presence detection techniques, and using DDS-based defense (protection from Denial-of-service attack).
Examples of this strategy include creating and using lists of trusted networks, devices, and applications, blocking untrusted addresses, and vendor management.
Any implementation needs to be supported by the secure enclave strategy in order to prevent neutralizing action by unauthorized access to the protection mechanism.
Even if this strategy is fully successful in its role, this does not guarantee the overall success of the larger defense strategy.
Claude Shannon's theorems show that if the encryption key is smaller than the secured information, the information-theoretic security can not be achieved.
This strategy is not generally possible to use because of the difficulties involved in exchanging one-time pads without the risk of being compromised.
As of 6 January 2020, there were 5,697 confirmed cases of measles and 83 deaths, out of a Samoan population of 200,874.
A state of emergency was declared on 17 November, ordering the closure of all schools, keeping children under 17 away from public events, and making vaccination mandatory.
All unvaccinated families have been ordered to display a red flag or cloth in front of their homes to warn others and to aid mass vaccination efforts.
On 5 and 6 December, the government shut down everything other than public utilities to move all civil servants over to the vaccination campaign.
This curfew was lifted on 7 December when the government estimated that 90% of the population was reached by the vaccination program.
By the end of 1893, over 1,000 people (of a total population of 34,500 at that time) had died from the disease with more deaths the following year.
In the early part of 2019, measles has been spreading throughout the Pacific region, with outbreaks in Tonga, Fiji, the Philippines and New Zealand.
In August 2019, an infected passenger on one of the more than 80,000 annual flights between New Zealand and Samoa probably brought the disease from Auckland to Upolu.
As of 22 December, there were 79 deaths (0.4 per 1,000, based on a population of 200,874, a rate of 14.3 deaths per 1000 infected) and 5,520 cases (2.75% of the population) of measles in Samoa.
Measles is much more contagious compared to other infectious diseases such as polio, which only requires an 80% vaccination rate for the population to attain herd immunity.
The cause of death was incorrect preparation of the vaccine by two nurses who mixed vaccine powder with expired anaesthetic instead of the appropriate diluent.
These two deaths were picked up by anti-vaccine groups and used to incite fear towards vaccination on social media, causing the government to suspend its measles vaccination programme.
After the outbreak started, anti-vaxxers credited the deaths to poverty and poor nutrition or even to the vaccine itself, but this has been discounted by the international emergency medical support that arrived in November and December.
UNICEF and the World Health Organization estimate that the measles vaccination rate in Samoa fell from 74% in 2017 to 34% in 2018, similar to some of the poorest countries in Africa.
Prior to the outbreak, vaccination rates had dropped to 31% in Samoa, compared to 99% in nearby Nauru, Niue, Cook Islands, and American Samoa.
Before seeking proper medical treatment, some parents first took their children to 'traditional healers' who used machines purchased from Australia that are claimed to produce immune-protective water.
A state of emergency was declared on 17 November, ordering the closure of all schools, keeping children under 17 away from public events, and making vaccination mandatory.
Tonga closed all schools for several days, while American Samoa required all travelers from Tonga and Samoa to present proof of vaccination.
All unvaccinated families were ordered to display a red flag or red cloth in front of their homes to warn others and to aid mass vaccination efforts.
On 5 and 6 December, the government shut down everything other than public utilities in order to assign all available civil servants to the vaccination campaign efforts.
The curfew was lifted on 7 December when the government estimated that 90% of the population had been reached by the vaccination program.
On 31 December, Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, the Prime Minister of Samoa, addressed the nation to ring in the New Year; the measles outbreak was a focus of his speech.
He acknowledged the support of the Samoan diaspora and 49 medical teams from the following countries and organisations: Australia, China, France/French Polynesia, Fiji through UNFPA, Israel, United States/Hawaii, Japan, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Norway, United Nations Agencies, United Kingdom and UK Save the Children, Solomon Islands and Kiribati through the Pacific Community, American Samoa, Médecins Sans Frontières, Blacktown Doctors Medical Centre, and Samoan Doctors Worldwide.
Immunology experts are now questioning the role of social media, primarily Facebook, and how social media facilitated the spread of vaccination hesitancy during the lethal outbreak.
The Immunisation Advisory Centre in New Zealand sees the Samoan crisis as a sign that social media needs to deal with dangerous misinformation.
UFC Fight Night: Felder vs. Hooker (also known as UFC Fight Night 168 and UFC on ESPN+ 26) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that is planned to take place on February 23, 2020 at Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand.

Komando Daerah Militer XVI/ Pattimura (or abbreviated Kodam XVI / Pattimura) is the Defense Regional Command which contains Province North Maluku and Maluku.
The territorial area of Kodam XVI / Pattimura covers 2 (two) Provinces, namely North Maluku Province and Maluku Province and 20 (twenty) Regency / City areas, namely 9 Regencies / Cities in Maluku Province North and 11 Regencies / Cities in Maluku Province and 171 District Areas, namely 111 Districts in North Maluku Province and 60 Districts in Maluku Province.
Kodam XVI / Pattimura has 2 (two) Military Resort Commands (Korem) namely Korem 151 / Binaiya consisted of 5 Kodim according to Maluku Province region with Korem 152 / Babullah consists of 6 Kodim Covers North Maluku Province region.
The South Maluku Army Command, late in August, was charged with the invasion of the Buru, Seram, Ambon and Lease islands to reclaim the islands from the hands of the RMS government through guerilla operations.
That force was the main local formation that helped the Army win the Invasion of Ambon in the early fall of 1950.
The D Force Command on July 5, 1952 was later transformed into the 25th Infantry Regiment, 7th TA under the leadership of its first regimental commander, Lieutenant Colonel Sukowati.
On May 7, 1960, Major General AH Nasution, Commander of the Armed Forces, handed over the command colour to the commanding officer of the military region, COL Herman Pieters.
In accordance with the development of the strategic concept of Defense and Security in general and whole of the Armed Forces in particular, several TNI AD Commands (Kotama) including Kodam XV / Pattimura were merged to other regional commands according to the demands of military reorganization policies of the then Commander of the Armed Forces, General Leonardus Benjamin Moerdani in a General Orders signed on 22 September 1984.
Then, in accordance with a Decree of the Chief of Staff of the Army dated December 26, 1984 and realized with the Decree of the Military Commander XV / Pattimura on January 8, 1985, the 174th Military Area Command Pattimura was formed which covered the entire Kodam XV/ Pattimura area of operations.
On May 6, 1985, Brigadier General H. Simanjuntak handed the command colour of the 15th RMC to the then Chief of Staff of the Army, General TNI Rudini, officially dissolving the regional command.
With psychological and historical considerations, the name Pattimura was retained as the newly formed Korem name with Col. Inf Soeharsono S appointed as the first area commander, who reported under the command of the newly formed Kodam XVII /Trikora, with HQ located in Jayapura, Papua.
After decades of peace, in the aftermath of the fall of Suharto from power sectarian violence flared in the islands in the 1999-2002 Maluku sectarian conflict.
With the threat of religious violence spreading into the now twin provinces of the Maluku Islands the National Armed Forces made it clear that the diversity of the island's peoples and religions were at stake and a territorial reorganization was needed to ensure a stronger military presence.
Pursuant to several orders by the office of the Chief of Staff of the Army, on May 7, 1999 the 174th MAC was dissolved and in its place Kodam XVI/Pattimura was reactivated on May 15, 1999 in Ambon during a Military Ceremony presided by the Chief of Staff General TNI Subagyo HS.
On the occasion of the ceremony the Chief of Staff officially inaugurated Brigadier General Max M.Tamaela as the first regional commander and the historic day was subsequently celebrated as the Anniversary of Kodam XVI / Pattimura.
Reborn in the face of interreligious violence, today the 16th RMC is committed to help contribute to national defense and territorial integrity, as well as in community development.
It was the servicemen of this command, in the aftermath of the Malino II Accord of 2002, that helped the peoples of Maluku recover from the years of violence that divided the Christian and Muslim communities, and thus helped the transformation of these frontier islands of the east into havens of diversity.
The Passionist Fathers Monastery is a historic monastery at 5700 N. Harlem Avenue in the Norwood Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois.
The monastery was built in 1910 for the Passionists, an order of Roman Catholic monks which believed in austere living and hosting spiritual retreats.
Architect Joseph Molitor, who also designed several churches for the Archdiocese of Chicago in the early twentieth century, designed the monastery.
Its Baroque influence is apparent in the Dutch gable above the main entrance, while its rounded arched windows and corbeling come from the Romanesque style.
The planet was discovered by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) using the transit method, in which the dimming effect that a planet causes as it crosses in front of its star is measured.

It was finally determined five people perished in the crash, at least four of them were crew, and the sole passenger, a cargo escort.
Initially it was reported that there were three crew and one passenger, all four killed, but it was eventually corrected by the ministry.
Day after the crash, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) prohibited the airline's flights into the airspace of the European Union due to safety questions about the airline.

The lyrical subject, lyrical speaker or lyrical I is the voice or person in charge of narrating the words of a poem or other lyrical work.
The lyrical subject is a conventional literary figure, historically associated with the author, although it is not necessarily the author who speaks for themselves in the subject.
The lyrical subject may be an anonymous, non-personal, or stand-alone entity; the author as a subject; the author's persona or some other character appearing and participating within the story of a poem (example would be the lyrical speaker of The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe - a lonely man who misses his lost love Leonor, not Edgar Allan Poe), whether fictitious or factual.
Although sometimes the author can refer to himself, he will always do so in the form of a speaker and not directly.
He is a prime suspect in the Gypsy Hill killings, a series of murders of young women in San Mateo County, California (and possibly Reno, Nevada), whose killer was named The San Mateo Slasher.
By this time, Cathy Woods, a mental patient who was convicted for one of the victims' murders, was exonerated after 35 years behind bars.
During his school years, due to being introverted, Rodney was characterized with low sociability and deviance towards other students and staff, as a result of which he gained reputation as a bully.
After an arrest for participation in a hijacking, Rodney was kicked out of school and sent to an institution for juvenile offenders, after which he resumed his newfound criminal career.
In 1963, Halbower was received on parole, but quickly violated the conditions of his probation, and in 1964, at the age of 16, he was sent back to prison.
Released the following year, Rodney burglarized a house, for which he arrested, but managed to flee from the country prison in September.
The victim survived and Rodney was arrested, but released on bail and remained at large during the preliminary investigation, which ended in the spring of 1976.
In May, his trial began, during which he was found guilty of assaulting the girl and received a sentence of life imprisonment.
He was not tried to kidnapping his daughter, but he was accused of fleeing from prison, for which he was later given a 6-year sentence.
On December 15, 1976, Halbower, together with his 23-year-old accomplice Orlando Jaime, made another escape from the prison, climbing on the roof of one of the buildings along the wall, reaching the fence and escaping.
The investigation revealed that the escape was possible due to improper performance of duties by the guards, who were subsequently subjected to disciplinary action.
Once free, Halbower stole a car and drove to Oregon, where he attacked a girl in Jackson, raping and stabbing her several times.
He was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment, but was extradited back to Nevada, so he could continue serving his life imprisonment term.
He was released from prison on parole in November 2013, but was immediately extradited to Oregon to serve his 15-year term for rape and attempted murder.
On January 8, 1976, the body of 18-year-old Veronica Cascio was discovered in a creek on the grounds of the Sharp Park Golf Course in Pacifica.
A body, later identified as hers, was discovered on June 6 at Sharp Park Road, in a wooded area of the city known as Gypsy Hills.
During his incarceration, a blood sample was taken from him for DNA testing, which, in September 2014, showed correspondence of his genotypic profile with the profile of the man who had left biological evidence on the corpses of Paula Baxter and Veronica Cascio.
The study also showed that Halbower's DNA profile coincided with the one isolated from saliva on cigarette butts found near the body of Michelle Mitchell, who was killed in February 1976 in Reno, Nevada.
Rodney Halbower was extradited to California, where, in January 2015, he was charged with three of the murders, to which he plead not guilty.
In addition, Halbower was suspected in Denise Lampe's murder, but testing of the DNA blood stains, left on the girl's body, showed a mismatch with Rodney's profile.
In 2016, Halbower was sent in for forensic examination, and it was determined that he wasn't suffering from mental illnesses or abnormalities, and thus, in June, a verdict was issued on his sanity.
In the same year, Halbower filed a petition to refuse qualified legal assistance and lawyers, and a petition to represent himself at trial, but a judge denied them, as a number of experts proved that he was too incompetent to appear before the court without a proper defense team.
At the trial, Halbower was in a very positive mood, refused to plead guilty, and frequently argued with the judge and prosecutors.
On September 18, 2018, Rodney Halbower was found guilty by the jury for the murders of Cascio and Baxter, and received two life sentences for each.
Despite the fact there isn't enough evidence to accuse him of Blackwell and Booth's killing, they are also believed to have been committed by Halbower.
As of 2019, he is expecting extradition to Nevada, where Halbower is due to stand trial for the murder of Michelle Mitchell.

Northwestern Albania was struck by a strong 6.4-magnitude earthquake with an epicentre 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) west-southwest of Mamurras, at 03:54 CET () on 26 November 2019.
The earthquake lasted at least 50 seconds and was felt in Albania's capital Tirana, and in places as far away as Taranto and Belgrade, 370 kilometres (230 mi) northeast of the epicentre.
It was the strongest earthquake to hit Albania in more than 40 years, its deadliest earthquake in 99 years and the world's deadliest earthquake in 2019.
Albania lies across the convergent boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Adriatic Plate, part of the complex collision zone with the African Plate.
In 1979, the largest of these events struck further north, in Montenegro, killing 136 people (101 in Montenegro and 35 in Albania).
The most recent significant earthquake in the area was an M 5.6 event on 21 September 2019 with an epicentre ENE of Durrës, which was at the time the most powerful in 30 years and damaged 500 houses.
The observed focal mechanism is consistent with reverse movement on a NW-SE trending fault, parallel to the known thrust faults in the area.
The largest aftershock occurred at 07:08 CET (UTC+1), less than four hours after the mainshock, with a magnitude of M 5.4.
The damage was mostly in the large port city of Durrës and the village of Kodër-Thumanë, which are near the epicentre of the earthquake.
A state of emergency lasting 30 days was declared by the Albanian government for Durrës, Thumanë and Tirana and later extended to Lezhë and Laç.
In accordance with the Albanian constitution regarding an emergency situation, the Albanian parliament granted Prime Minister Edi Rama state of emergency powers to deal with earthquake aftermath.
Albanian soldiers, numbering in the hundreds, and some 2,000 Albanian police officers were dispatched to the earthquake affected localities of Thumanë, Durrës, and the nearby wider area.
Three hundred emergency tents to shelter some 1,000 people were erected at a sportsfield within Thumanë and close to a stadium in Durrës.
Albanian troops working with limited resources rescued people from debris of collapsed structures and they were assisted by 250 troops from the United States and various European countries.
Subsequently, rescue crews with specialised equipment, sniffer dogs and emergency supplies came to Albania from neighbouring countries and other European nations to help in the search efforts and provide for those left homeless.
Special forces (RENEA) continued searching for several people that were reported missing, and at least 45 individuals were rescued alive from the rubble.
According to official information, 51 people were killed in the earthquake - 25 in Durrës, 25 in Thumanë, and 1 in Lezhë.
Following the earthquake an additional 2 people from Kurbin died, one from their injuries in hospital and another through suicide, due to posttraumatic stress.
Albania's Minister of Health Ogerta Manastirliu initially announced over 900 injuries, of which 731 were treated at the hospitals in Tirana and Durrës alone.
Reports from the Ministry of Health stated that care was provided for 62 injured people who were in a stable condition, with the exception of 3 people in intensive care.
An Albanian military owned dwelling in Durrës, social centres in Tirana and various privately owned buildings such as 90 gyms in Krujë, Tirana, Lezhë, Durrës and numerous hotels in Vlorë, Durrës and Tirana were adapted and opened to shelter displaced people.
Some 2,500 displaced people have been housed in hotels, another 2,100 are in tents, whereas others affected by the earthquake slept in gyms or their cars.
In Durrës, authorities distributed food throughout the city and reports of complaints emerged that some people had not yet obtained supplies.
Due to safety concerns and aftershocks, some people were not allowed to reenter their own homes and became dependent on food donations until engineers checked buildings.
Displaced people have been relocated to Kosovo with 500 residing in a former German NATO military base in Prizren refitted as a temporary camp by the Kosovo government.
Some displaced people are housed in the Kosovan municipalities of Lipjan numbering 3 families, 11 families with 48 members in Podujevë, 70 people in Malishevë, 150 people in Pristina and others in Gjakova.
Albanian President Ilir Meta, Prime Minister Rama and opposition leader Lulzim Basha visited the earthquake epicentre to see firsthand the situation and damage.
The often fraught political rivalry between Meta, Rama and Basha was put aside as all three were involved in relief efforts.
National operational centres were established by the Albanian government along with a phone line for people affected by the earthquake needing clothes or food.
2,500 people have been displaced by the earthquake and are temporarily being accommodated either in the Niko Dovana Stadium of Durrës in tents or in hotels.
On 30 November Prime Minister Rama announced the end of the search and rescue operation, as no more bodies were expected to be under the rubble.
According to his statement, about 2,000 people were injured from the earthquake in total, with more than 4,000 being left homeless in the disaster's aftermath.
Preliminary figures showed that more than 1,465 buildings in the capital Tirana suffered serious damage, in addition to about 900 in nearby Durrës.
The first funeral for the deceased was held on Friday with hundreds of people in attendance including President Meta and Prime Minister Rama.
Earthquake damage is being checked by civil engineers from the European Union, United States and local experts to assess whether buildings are structurally sound, unsafe and required demolition or just needed replastering.
Demolition of damaged structures deemed unsafe, some through remote control explosions by the Albanian army began, with others to follow suit in future.
The Prosecutor's office ordered on 3 December that it needed lists of damaged buildings from police and municipal authorities before permission was granted for demolition, due to pending investigations.
The EU office in Albania estimated that some 1.9 million people out of a total population of 2.8 million have been affected by the earthquake.
Of those, more than 3,000 people were injured, 14,000 became homeless and throughout Albania 14,000 buildings were damaged of which 2,500 are rendered uninhabitable.
A fortnight after the event, some rural earthquake victims in the impact zone stated that government aid was either inadequate to non-existent and that they were still living in a dire situation.
In late January 2020, 48,000 dwellings and structures have undergone inspection and the government has identified 35 areas in 10 municipalities for future rebuilding work.

Rama stated that the draft budget of 2020 would provide frunds for the construction of homes and cost some 7 billion leke ($63.10 million) or 0.4% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The exact final amount is unknown and apart from the aim of getting displaced people into homes, Rama wants reconstructrion to expand economic growth, jobs and consuption.
Apart from costs and planned projects already factored in, the government committed itself to no new budgetary expenditure except for irrigation, so as to accumulate funds for reconstruction.
In late January 2020, the government budget placed a total of 20 billion Lek in a fund for the future rebuilding process.
In Albania, a large proportion of the earthquake damage has been blamed on corruption, violations of the building code and substandard construction following the demise of communism during the early 1990s.
The Albanian state has drafted a law in the aftermath of the earthquake that would see investors, supervisors and architects go to prison for a period of 7–15 years if proper construction practices are violated.
On 14 December, Albanian prosecutors and police detained nine people on charges of murder and abuse of power, including two owners of collapsed hotels.

While he did not create the wide beam, shallow draft centerboarder ... he surely refined the type to the extent that he became associated with centerboard racing/cruising boats.
The wide transom, low counter design of his boats’ sterns were quite new in the late 1950s, causing many derisive comments among traditionalists, but I don’t hear anyone laughing about the shape of the Bermuda 40’s stern anymore ...

In 1970, he volunteered to organize and coach the eighth grade basketball team and across four seasons, would lead the team to 127 wins and 22 losses.
I’m thinking in four years there we won a hundred-some games traveling all over the Chicago area.” It was during this time that Rosborough became familiar with the Chicago basketball high school scene which would lead to his first collegiate coaching position at Iowa.
Soon after the hire, Rosborough, a former Iowa Hawkeye but still a teacher and eighth grade coach in Chicago at the time, called Olson to tell him about a prospect.
Rosborough would rise to become Olson's top assistant and Iowa's chief recruiter in Chicago, landing key recruits Kenny Arnold and Ronnie Lester who would take Iowa to five straight NCAA tournaments and the Final Four in 1980.
Rosborough and Olson coached together for nine seasons from 1974-1983 with an overall record of 167-91, before Olson left Iowa to accept the head coaching position at the University of Arizona.
On Olson's departure, Rosborough was hired as an assistant to Athletic Director Bump Elliot and stayed at Iowa for two additional years.
Following the success in Tulsa, Rosborough was hired as the head men's basketball coach at Northern Illinois University in April 1986, with a stated goal to build a team that could make the NCAA tournament.
In his three seasons as head coach at NIU, he answered to three different Athletic Directors, an instability that led to Rosborough being fired from the program in 1989.
Rosborough's freshman recruiting class at NIU would go on reach the NCAA tournament in the 1990-1991 season and win 25 games, the most in school history, solidifying the rebuilding of the program that Rosborough had started.
Following the 1997 National Championship, Olson promoted Rosborough to Associate Head Coach, the position he would retain until leaving the team in 2007.
In the first game of the NCAA Tournament, Arizona was in danger of getting upset by South Alabama, who was leading by two points at the half.
The Wildcats relied on a perimeter strategy from guards Miles Simon, Mike Bibby, Michael Dickerson, and Jason Terry to carry the team.
When Lute Olson was hired at Iowa in the spring of 1974, Jim Rosborough phoned and told him about a Chicago prospect.
Rosborough served under Olson for nine seasons at Iowa, and for 18 seasons at Arizona as an assistant coach, and following the 1997 national championship, as associate head coach.
As Arizona's associate head coach, Rosborough's expertise within the Olson basketball system was a driving force that allowed the Arizona program to remain at the highest levels in the country, both on and off the court.
Following the season, Rosborough rejected an offer to move to a non-coaching position within the athletic department, ending the long partnership with Olson.
The team would go on to have their best season in school history at the time, finishing 7th in the NJCAA tournament.
Rosborough worked as an assistant coach for the University of Arizona women's tennis team for four seasons with head coach Vicky Maes.
Across four seasons, the team qualified for the NCAA tournament three times, and in 2014, had an undefeated 14-0 home record.
The team has had over 20 wins each season, and qualified for NJCAA tournament twice, finishing 3rd in 2016, and 5th in 2019.
Jon became the third generation Rosborough to play at Moline's Wharton Field House when his high school team from Arizona played in a tournament in Moline on November 27, 2002, 40 years after his father, and 74 years after his grandfather.
Greg lives with his wife Rebecca in New York City, where he is a menswear designer and was a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist in 2019.
Rosborough has been an active board member involved in community governance at Epworth Heights, in Ludington, Michigan, his family summer home.
Green finance is officially promoted as an important feature of the Belt and Road Initiative, China's signature global economic development initiative.
The Development Research Center of the State Council and Export-Import Bank of China released a report in 2019 on green finance for the Belt and Road.
The various forms of green finance includes investments, lending, and insurance by Chinese state-owned financial entities and companies for renewable energy projects in host countries of the Belt and Road.
In the same month, the Bank of China issued a green bond on the London Stock Exchange although not specifically for projects in the BRI.
The two primary Chinese policy banks for financing BRI projects are China Development Bank and Export Import Bank and each states support for advancing more green loans.
However, out of the energy project loans advanced by both banks between 2014 and 2017 for the BRI, 18% went to coal while solar and wind accounted for 3.4% and 2.9% respectively.
The primary contradiction with adherence to green finance and BRI projects is the large amount of lending by Chinese banks for coal fired power plants.
In contrast, Western financial institutions have limited or prohibited financing of coal fired power plants starting with the World Bank and European Investment Bank in 2013.
In 2017, ICBC and China Construction Bank decided to not fund the Carmichael coal mine after environmental protests by the Australian public.
However the latter two species do not form mats of branches that root adventitiously, and they both have longer and thinner leaves (usually about 12 mm x 2 mm).
Jam v. International Finance Corp, 586 U.S. ___ (2019) was a United States Supreme Court case from the October 2018 term.
The Supreme Court ruled that international organizations, such as the World Bank Group's financing arm, the International Finance Corporation, could be sued in US federal courts for conduct arising from their commercial activities.
This was a reversal from existing jurisprudence, which held that international organizations (unlike foreign governments) had near-absolute immunity from lawsuit under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act and the International Organizations Immunities Act.
This case is notable because for the first time the Court established that US-based international organizations, such as the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, could be sued if their overseas investment activities caused harm in local communities.
It overturned a decades-old standard established in the aftermath of World War 2 when newly-formed international agencies were first being established with headquarters in the United States.
The International Finance Corporation (IFC), headquartered in Washington, DC is the arm of the World Bank Group that specializes in lending to private sector business interests in developing countries.
In the 2000s, the IFC provided $450 million USD to Coastal Gujarat Power Ltd. to fund the construction of the Tata Mundra power plant in Gujarat, a coastal state in western India.
As part of the lending agreement (the IFC's Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability), the IFC requires loan recipients, including the power plant, to adhere to stringent human rights safeguards and environmental protections.
The agreement allowed the IFC to revoke financial support for the plant if the plant failed to adhere to these requirements.
However, the plant, which opened in 2012, emitted pollution which drained into local waterways and farmland, damaging the environment and creating hardship for local fishermen in the Kutch district.
An internal audit conducted by the IFC's social responsibility division found that the IFC failed to provide appropriate levels of oversight.
Local fishing and farming communities, with the aid of a not-for-profit group called EarthRights International and Stanford Law School, filed suit against the IFC in United States District Court, alleging breach of contract as well as the torts of nuisance and trespass.
Since the IFC's headquarters were in Washington, DC, the plaintiffs filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in 2015, relying heavily on the IFC internal audit report as evidence.
The IFC successfully moved to dismiss the case, citing absolute sovereign immunity granted to international organizations under the International Organizations Immunities Act (IOIA) in 1945.
Under this new interpretation, foreign governments would continue to enjoy nearly absolute immunity for acts conducted in their capacity as national governments.
This more-restrictive view of sovereign immunity, including the waiver of immunity for commercial activities, was eventually codified by Congress into the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) of 1972.
The IFC successfully argued that international organizations should retain the more expansive version of sovereign immunity that was standard when the IOIA was enacted in 1945, not the more restrictive view that was adopted starting in the 1950s.
The plaintiffs appealed the District Court's ruling to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld the opinion of the District Court.
The plaintiffs finally appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which granted a writ of certiorari agreeing to hear the case in May 2017.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was formerly on the DC Circuit Court which heard the case originally, recused himself and did not participate in the consideration of this case.
According to the Supreme Court, the most natural reading of the IOIA was that Congress intended to permanently tie the sovereign immunity enjoyed by international organizations and the immunity enjoyed by foreign governments.
In his decision, Roberts also noted international organizations may, in their charters, specify that they have absolute immunity from lawsuits and that the International Finance Corporation's charter did not include such a clause.
In a dissent, Justice Stephen Breyer stated that Congress's purpose in enacting the IOIA was to confer the same type of immunity to international organizations that foreign governments enjoyed in 1945, when the statute was first enacted.

Journal of Transnational American Studies is a peer-reviewed open access scholarly journal publishing original research in the field of American studies.
These twin advances in the science of dreaming are elaborated in Hobson's books and articles from 1977 up to the present.
Dream consciousness occurs when the brain is activated during sleep; during REM sleep, that activation is as intense as it is in waking.
At the same time, the input-output gates of the brain are actively closed and the chemical balance is shifted from aminergic to cholinergic.
Waking and dreaming are thus two conscious states whose similarities and differences are now understood (Hobson & McCarley, 1977; Hobson, 1988, 1989, 1994/1999b, 1999a, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2009a, 2009b, 2011, 2012; Hobson & Friston, 2012, 2014).
According to Hobson, dream interpretation has, until recently, relied on theories of symbolic transformations of mental content and the formal approach described here does not disprove previous schemata.
In keeping with the view that the offline brain is activated in REM sleep, dreaming may be seen as the brain's effort to reformulate its model of the world so as to be a more effective predictor of its future experience (Hobson & Friston, 2012, 2014).
Yet there is no similar difficulty seen in the literature when it comes to integrating consciousness components such as perception, memory and emotion.
Hence, Hobson argues, consciousness may thus be no more and no less than the simultaneous combination of all of these components (Hobson, 2013).
The key move in accepting and advancing this idea is to specify dual aspect monism as the concept best adapted to a new view of the brain-mind has a unified system with two components, one objective (the brain) and one subjective (the mind) (Hobson, 2005, 2009, 2011, 2015).
Hobson's theory of the brain in waking, sleeping, and dreaming contends that both the brain and the mind are physical and therefore subject to the same basic rules and regulations as other materials.
While we can imagine (and observe) states of the brain that are not associated with states of the mind, it is not possible to imagine or observe states of the mind that are not associated with states of the brain.
For this reason, Hobson argues that a high priority should be accorded to brain science supposing that it will help better understand the mind.
This is the principle on which Hobson's brain theory of consciousness and formal approach to dream interpretation is based (Hobson, 2018).
After a few years however Figgis decided she wanted to complete her studies and returned to the Institute of Archaeology in London.
Distant reading is an approach in literary studies that applies computational methods to literary data, usually derived from large digital libraries, for the purposes of literary history and theory.
Other terms used to refer to the same or similar approach include macroanalysis, cultural analytics, computational formalism, computational literary studies, quantitative literary studies, and algorithmic literary criticism.
The innovation it proposed, as far as literary studies was concerned, was that the method employed samples, statistics, paratexts, and other features not often considered within the ambit of literary analysis.
Only later did the term distant reading (via Moretti and other scholars) come to become primarily identified with computational analysis of primary literary sources.
Despite the consensus about the origins of distant reading at the turn of the twenty-first century, Ted Underwood has traced a longer genealogy of the method, arguing for its elision in current discourse about distant reading.
Underwood emphasises a social-scientific dimension in this prehistory of distant reading, referring to particular examples in the work of Raymond Williams (from the 1960s) and Janice Radway (from the 1980s).
This variety in the stated definitions and aims of distant reading is characteristic of its development since the turn of the twenty-first century, where is has come to encompass a variety of different methods and approaches, rather than representing a single or unified method of literary study.
One of the central principles of distant reading is that literary history and literary criticism can be written without necessarily resorting to the kind of careful, sustained reading encounter with individual texts that is fundamental to close reading.
However, some scholars have adopted the principles of distant reading in the analysis of a small number of texts or an individual text.
Empirical approaches to literary study are a regular characteristic of distant reading, and are often accompanied by a reliance on quantitative methods.
In 'Style, Inc. Reflections on Seven Thousand Titles (British Novels, 1740–1850)' Franco Moretti uses an early distant reading methodology to analyse certain changes in the titles of novels in the given period and country.
In the article, Moretti combines the results of quantitative analysis of these titles with contextual knowledge of literary history to address questions about the shortening of eighteenth-century novel titles, about the nature of very short novel titles, and about the relationship of novel titles to genres.
For examples, in Section I, he provides evidence of the decreasing length of titles across the time span, and links the phenomenon to the growth of the market for novels and the establishment of periodicals which regularly reviewed novels.
Methodologically, Underwood supplements theoretical ideas about the compression of fictional time with approaches from distant reading which model the average lengths of time described in 250-word portions of fiction across three centuries.
Searching for archival traces of James Hemings, Thomas Jefferson's enslaved chef, Klein juxtaposes visualisations of his presence with Jefferson's own charts and tables as the basis for a discussion of data visualisation as it relates to the construction of race.
The COST Action 'Distant Reading for European Literary History' is a European networking project bringing together scholars interested interested in corpus building, quantitative text analysis, and European literary history.
It aims to create a network of researchers jointly developing the distant reading resources and methods necessary to change the way European literary history is written.
The objectives of the project include coordinating the creation of a multilingual European Literary Text Collection (ELTeC) containing digital full-texts of novels in different European languages.
India Unmade: How the Modi Government Broke the Economy is a book coauthored by Yashwant Sinha and Aditya Sinha published in 2018.
The book criticizes the economic performance of the National Democratic Alliance government near the end of its tenure prior to the 2019 Indian general election.
The book is coauthored by Yashwant Sinha, who served as the Minister of Finance and Minister of External Affairs during the Vajpayee Government, and Aditya Sinha.
The book criticizes the economic performance of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government led by Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister between the period 2014-2019.
The topics covered in the book include the alleged manipulation of the gross domestic product of India, the alleged irregularities in the 2016 Indian banknote demonetisation and the alleged interference with the independence of Reserve Bank of India.
The authors of the book criticise the Make in India programme and consider the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax to be shoddy.
The authors of the book say that Narendra Modi missed a golden opportunity to transform the Indian economy, pointing out the large electoral mandate he received.
The authors also argue that the previous NDA government led by AB Vajpayee was politically and ideologically different than the present one.
While criticizing Modi, Yashwant Sinha says that he has no conflict of interest in writing this book since he has no plans to run for a political office.
It states that the book reveals the lack of democracy within the Bharatiya Janata Party, as exemplified by the hurried compilation of the book.
He was part of the founding team of the Festival Ciné-Palestine in Paris and the Palestine with Love festival in Brussels.

The Savernake Horn is a horn made of 12th-century elephant ivory decorated with 14th century enamelled silver gilt mounts; it has belonged to the Seymour family since at least the Elizabethan period, and is associated with Savernake Forest in Wiltshire, England.
In the centre of the upper band is depicted a king in conversation with a bishop, and a forester alongside, possibly indicating the making of an historic appointment of Forester.
The horn was noted by William Camden (1551–1623) who stated it then belonged to the Seymour family, possibly an heirloom inherited from their Sturmy ancestors, hereditary Wardens of Savernake Forest, though was probably made for the Earl of Moray in the fourteenth century and looted by the English in the mid-sixteenth century.

In its 2018 report, the Venezuelan Violence Observatory (OVV) classifies the Bolívar state as the third state with the highest homicide rate, out of 23 states and after Aragua and Miranda.
One of the two factors that the OVV attributed the homicide rate was the mining activity of the municipalities that had the highest rates in the country: El Callao, Roscio (Guasipati) and Sifontes (Tumeremo).
The OVV explains that in this zone different forms of violence and crime concentrate, including the zones control by organized crime and kingpins, the violent response of military forces in the zone and the recent presence of different guerilla groups.
Besides the criminal activity of the armed irregular groups, there is also activite by security forces such as the FAES, with actions and operations that violate human rights, demonstrated by the lack of rule of law in the territory.
On the night of 4 March 2016, they were in the Atenas mine, on the border between the municipalities of Sifontes and Roscio, a poor area where, like most of the southeast of the country, the main economic activity is mining.
The Prosecutor General, Luisa Ortega Díaz, said that the remains of at least four of the disappeared miners were later found in the middle of the country and seemed to have been shot, but that they had no identification.
Ortega Díaz reported late on the night of 14 March 2016 that the search efforts for the disappeared miners had concluded with the discovery of 17 bodies total.
Tarek William Saab, the Ombudsman, subsequently announced on 15 March 2016 that the remains of 17 miners found in a mass grave in Tumeremo were wounded by firearms.
Between 14 and 16 October 2018, miners at Los Candados mine were attacked in at least the third civilian massacre in Tumeremo since 2016.
He also posted a thread of tweets showing several bodies, including those with gunshot wounds showing how they had been killed and abandoned.
Shortly after the events, towards the end of October, armed violence broke out in Tumeremo, which de Grazia says began with the presence of government military forces.
Since early 2018, the community started to protest against harsh life conditions, the murder of leaders allegedly committed by the Colombian National Liberation Army and the permanent harassment by organized crime groups that seek to control large territories where there is illegal mining and reportedly have direct relationships with state officials.
After eight days of protest, Santa Elena de Uairén still lacked food, fuel and gas that was demanded by the demonstrators that closed the access.
The Pemon also declared that candidate Andrés Velásquez won the 2017 regional elections in the Bolívar state, but that the executive branch imposed their candidate Justo Noguera, which the qualified as a crime.
On 8 December, Directorate General of Military Counterintelligence officials arrived on the morning to the Campo Carrao sector, in the Canaima National Park.
According to the locals, their purpose was to carry out a raid, but they ended up in the mines of the zone, something frequent also according to the locals, where they injured two Pemons of the Arekuna community.
As a response to the attack, the indigenous community detained, desarmed and beat up the two perpetrators of the raid, while they also closed the runway near the town.
Groups of indigenous Pemon peoples blocked the entry of the military vehicles into the region, and members of armed forces loyal to Maduro fired upon them with live ammunition on 22 February.
The injured were transferred to Brazil due to the shortage of medical supplies in the Venezuelan hospital of Santa Elena de Uairén.
Following the crackdown, indigenous groups detained thirty-six soldiers, held them in the jungle and set fire to a military outpost of the Santa Elena de Uairén airport.
Near the Brazil–Venezuela border, more than 2,000 indigenous people from Gran Sabana gathered to assist with the entrance of international aid.
Venezuelan authorities issued a capture order of the mayor of Gran Sabana and of the Pemon chieftains, accusing them of rebellion.
The Venezuelan National Guard repressed demonstrations near Brazil, while colectivos attacked protesters in San Antonio del Táchira and Ureña, leaving at least four dead and about 20 injured.
The Brazilian Army reported that Venezuelan authorities fired live ammunition at those attempting to accept aid and that tear gas from Venezuela was fired into the Brazilian border city of Pacaraima.
Former governor Andrés Velásquez declared that fourteen people were killed and that many of them had gunshots wounds in their heads, indicating involvement of snipers.
Two ambulances carrying dead and wounded crossed the Brazil–Venezuela border and took them to the Roraima General Hospital, in Boa Vista, where medic records documented that everyone had gunshots wounds.
On 22 November, at least nine people were killed in a mine in Ikabarú, in Bolívar, including a teenager, a Pemon and a National Guardsman.
On 10 December, a group of around forty Russian soldiers arrived to Canaima, Bolívar, on a Shaanxi Y-8 plane landing on the runway that serves as the entry to the National Park.
Locals assured that the soldiers wore uniforms of the Venezuelan Armed Forces and that they carried crates with microwave equipment, satellite antennas, signal inhibitors, and other devices.
In the dawn of 22 December, a group of around twelve armed Pemons, led by an Army deserter officer, captured the facilities of the 513 Mariano Montilla Jungle Infantry Battalion, located in the Luepa sector, in the Gran Sabana municipality.
According to police information, after the assault to the battalion, the police received a call at around 4:58 am VST from officer Franco Efrain to notify that heavily armed individuals, feigning to be Directorate General of Military Counterintelligence officials, aimed at every active official, stripped them of their ordnance weapons (five pistols) and took a bulletproof vest.
The rebel military and Pemons later attacked a police station in , where they seized nine 9 mm pistols and five shotguns.
A soldier was killed during the shootout, and the government forces recovered 82 AK-103 rifles, 60 grenades and six 7.76 ammunition boxes.
Electrotaxis, also known as galvanotaxis, is the directed motion of biological cells or organisms guided by an electric field or current.
In 1891, E. Dineur made the first known report of cells migrating directionally in a direct current, a phenomenon which he coined galvanotaxis.
Dineur used a zinc-copper cell to apply a constant current to the abdominal cavity of a frog via a pair of platinum electrodes.
The film tells the story of the Chicago Boys, a group of economists trained at the Catholic University of Chile who, after conducting graduate studies at the University of Chicago under professors such as Milton Friedman and Arnold Harberger, return to their country and, after Augusto Pinochet's military dictatorship (1973-1990), become the main ideologues of the implementation of the neoliberal economic model in Chile.
The University of Houston Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (UH AROTC) is part of the ROTC/Military Science department at the University of Houston.
The University of Houston ROTC Battalion is attached to the 5th Reserve Officers' Training Corps Brigade, the fifth of eight brigades that make up Cadet Command, It comprises ROTC programs in Texas, Utah, WY, AZ, CO, NM, OK, and AR.
The University of Houston ROTC program started in 1948 as an all Quartermaster Battalion; the only one in the United States.
Throughout the 50s and 60s the number of cadets ranged from 827 to 327 with a peak number of 97 commissioned officers.
In 1965, the Military Science study changed to an applicable two-year minor and the program established a national rifle marksmanship team.
This ended the cadet corps regiment and created an integrated cadet system, where the cadets no longer practiced military training 24 hours a day.
The marksmanship team won two Conference Championships in 1966 and 1968 and they were rated nationally as number one in 1967 and 1971.
In 1970, the University of Houston Army ROTC program finally allowed women to enroll into the course and in 1975 the first female officer was commissioned through the program.
This includes The University of Houston-Downtown, The University of Houston-Clear Lake, The University of St. Thomas, Rice University, Texas Southern University, Houston Baptist University, Houston Community College, and San Jacinto Community College.
Currently, the program falls under the 5th brigade of Cadet command and is located at the Hofheinz Pavilion on the University of Houston campus.
It has been a functioning Reserve Officer training Corps Battalion for the Past 71 Years and continues to operate as being the Only Army ROTC Program in the Houston area.
The freshman course is dedicated to building an introduction to leadership, the sophomore course focuses on creating a foundation of leadership, the junior year develops advanced leadership, and the senior year teaches advanced military science.
The courses are taught in a classroom setting with a lab taking place once a week outside, the lab will almost always focus on military tactics and or military discipline.Throughout each semester there will also be a field training exercise that reviews and test the military tactics that were taught.
Upon completion of all four years of the military science courses, required summer training, and required credits to receive college degree, the cadet will commission as an Officer in the United States Army.
Contracting legally binds a cadet to fulfill a minimum two-year service in the United States Army.Though an Army Cadet is not in the active military they are technically still in a reserve unit and are applicable to be moved to an active duty unit in an event of a war.
Army ROTC cadets are given a rank/grade that structures their position in the program and classifies the learning progression.Freshman are identified as MS1s (Military science one) and it continues numerically by grade year; MS one, two, three.
As discussed in curriculum each cadet has specific classes needed for each semester along with specific summer training that is required.

The Oulu child murders is a Finnish murder case, referring to the discovery of the bodies of five infants in the basement of an apartment in Oulu, on June 3, 2014.
The mother of the babies, 35-year-old Kaisa Emilia Vornanen-Karaduman, had concealed the pregnancies and abandoned them, after giving birth at home.
The Rovaniemi Court of Appeal sentenced her to 13 years imprisonment for five counts of manslaughter, but not for concealing a corpse.
According to District Prosecutor Sari Kemppainen, who was the lead prosecutor for the case, there have been no similar cases in Finnish criminal history.
On June 3, 2014, Oulu police received a complaint about some foul-smelling packages found in the basement of an apartment block in the center.
The preliminary investigation determined that the children were born in the years 2005, 2007, at the turn of the year 2011-2012, 2012 and 2013.
According to the prosecutor later at trial, Vornanen-Karaduman had usually given birth in the bathroom or toilet, wrapped the babies up in plastic bags, put them in a bucket, closed it and then took it to the basement.
A former boss of Vornanen-Karaduman suspected that she was pregnant at one time, but she had explained to her manager that her stomach was rounded as a result of all the greasy pizzas that she had eaten the previous night.
Vornanen-Karaduman's lawyer stated in his final statement in the district court hearing that his client was pregnant, yet again, during the summer of 2014, when she was arrested by police.
The district court found that Vornanen-Karaduman acted deliberately in the deaths of her babies, and was ordered to undergo a psychiatric assessment.
On June 1, 2015, a trial concluded that she was of guilty on the grounds of non compos mentis, even though she suffered from a mixed personality disorder.
On June 15, the District Court sentenced Kaisa Vornanen-Karaduman to life imprisonment for five murders and five counts of concealing a corpse.
According to the law, the repetition of the acts almost identically, in five separate instances, showed that the acts had been planned out.
The Court of Appeal recognized that the acts had been done in a cruel way, but by somebody with a sound mind.
They also said that none of the acts had been aggravated, and dropped the five counts of concealing a corpse, as they claimed that her intent was to merely conceal her crimes by hiding the bodies.
According to the court, Vornanen-Karaduman would, in principle, be sentenced to 15 years imprisonment, but the Court of Appeal considered that her behavior affected her heavily, even though the woman's guilt had not been diminished.
Jill Rubery (born 4 November 1951) is a Professor of Comparative Employment Systems at Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS) at the University of Manchester.
She received her Master of Arts from the University of Cambridge in 1978 and completed her doctorate at New Hall (now Murray Edwards College) at the University of Cambridge in 1987.
Rubery worked as a researcher in labour economics, women's employment and low pay at the Department of Applied Economics at the University of Cambridge from 1976 to 1991.
She was deputy director of AMBS from 2007 to 2013 and is the director of the Work and Equalities Institute at the University of Manchester.
She has conducted major research projects with the EU, including Minimum Wages and Social Dialogue and Public Sector Pay and Social Dialogue.
She argues that the model doesn't make sense outside of the US because the lack of attention paid to role of trade unions in process of labour market development.
She criticises the model's focus on the end of the 19th century and early 20th century, arguing that it isn't applicable to the present day.
Rubery argues for the need to see the role of workers and work organisations as central to the development of the labour market structure.
She sees the developments occurring in the context of a continuous struggle between capitalists and workers over wages and means of production.
Dual labour market theory attributes segmentation to technical change and radical theory blames capitalists’ aim of dividing and conquering the labour force.
She argues that the main progression both theories need to make is to recognise that segmentation has its roots in the development in the capitalist system.
She argues that monopoly capitalism is not conducive to industrial organisation and that the process of its development destroys jobs and makes certain skills redundant.
She recognises the complicated role that trade unions have played, both shaping the labour market structure as well as being shaped by the labour market themselves.
She calls for future analysis to take into account the continuous nature of segmentation, the role of trade unions and to look at different patterns across different sectors over time to understand the process of labour market segmentation.
In this book edited by Rubery, she brought together eight essays that examine patterns of women's participation in the labour market in Britain, Italy, France and the US since World War II, and the impact of the 1980s recession.
The book draws on case studies done by the Cambridge Labour Studies Group, and works to explain the process of resegregation in the contemporary labour market.
The first section of the book looks at how business cycles and restructuring determined the demand for female labour in each place.
The second section exams the ways that the supply side of the economy relates to demand in the labour market and creates patterns of gendered employment.
They recognise that the rise in married women's labour after the war played a big role in post war recovery in each country studied.
They find that recession prompted a move from labour-intensive production to capital intensive production and ended the use of women as a supplementary supply in the labour market.
These jobs remain low paid, perceived as unskilled and unprotected even though women were increasing their training, education and workforce participation.
In the second section, women's integration of the workplace was found to have had impacts on the family form and household.
In Britain and the US, state polices had sought to exploit and increase female unpaid labour in the face of a recession and debt crisis.
Regardless of state policy, every country saw an increase in dual income households, single parent households and on average lower levels of compensation and protection for women in employment.
They argued that, while women can seek to improve their individual positions through training and education, macro level changes are needed for any major improvements.
The authors also highlighted the need for women workers to participate in labour movements to address the growing disparity of interests between working class and professional women, single and dual income households and white women and women of colour.
Overall, the book illuminates the process of women's integration into the labour force in the four countries and shows the significant role that gender has played in the economies of post war France, Italy, Britain and US.
The authors found notable differences between the countries, focusing on four areas of inequality: care and wage work, occupational segregation, pay and working time.
The second is to come up with indicators for the future of female employment in Europe, using current trends and restructuring.
The authors argue for the continued need to consider and study women's employment as separate from men's employment, as female integration into the workforce varies greatly across countries, and continues to be marked by the differences between men and women in a professional environment.
The authors found that women continued to grow as a share of employment in the face of recessions, showing that women were forming a permanent part of the labour market and no longer were a labour reserve.
Falls in fertility rates and investment in education is taken as evidence of women's determination to remain in the labour market.
The authors also found that women were having fewer children, having children at an older age, marrying later, remaining single or not having children at all.
They found this change was instigated by both men and women, brought about by changes in social values as well as changes in women's participation in the labour market.
In southern Europe and Ireland, the male breadwinner model was much more common while Nordic countries had moved furthest away from this model while maintaining high birth rates.
They authors found that the burden falls on women to look after ageing relatives, and were more at risk at being in poverty when they aged themselves because of longer life expectancies and lower average earnings.
Men tended to participate in this at the beginning and end of their careers, but women participated in it for their whole careers.
Longer part-time hours in the service sector would likely be worked by women and see a growth in the gender gap.
The authors found the 1997 Part Time Workers Directive as one of the few indicators that the position of women in the labour market would be protected by the EU.
They conclude that labour market policy needs to evolve to a level that embraces interests of both men and women and supports the reduction of inequality, and only then can employment policy claim to have truly integrated equal opportunity.
Rubery recalled her findings that the extent to which women act as a labour reserve depends on the gender segregation, female commitment to the labour market and state policies regarding female employment.
They explored how demand affected women's labour market participation, gender segregation and the outcome of austerity policies for the future of women in the labour market.
The authors found that the trends in women's employment during and after the recession are evidence that gender segregation is the key factor in influencing women's position in the work force.
They argued that women are more likely to lose their jobs than men, but that women were still becoming more permanent members of the workforce.
For example, the banking sector was hit the hardest in the crisis when it had been seen as a source of prosperity, and then the public sector suffered when it had been seen as a source of stability.
The authors also found that women were committed to becoming permanent members of the workforce and avoided acting as a part of flexible labour supply, calling themselves unemployed rather than inactive.
This was supported by tax and benefit policies that assisted working parents and women, but these policies were drawn back in the face of the economic downturn.
These trends might improve as the economy improves, but it did not bode well for policies with regards to female employment in future recessions.
Overall, the economic case provides evidence that women are beneficial to the workforce, but these business case policies need to support equal rights in order to gain the full benefits of female employment.
Meanwhile, the private sector has yet to accept that the business case needs to be accompanied by support for gender equality.
The authors concluded that the recession had different but negative impacts on women in all sectors, with states reducing support for working mothers and not accompanying the pursuance of the business case for female employment with support for female workers.
The emergence of the business case for female employment, however, has helped to commit women to the workforce and remain participants in the face of recessions.
They concluded that this development would affect the UK government's plans to reduce unemployment figures by encouraging women to leave the labour force after the financial and debt crises.
This was especially true in 2008, when all policy was justified by efficiency arguments, which resulted in public sector wage cuts.
She recognised that gender equality policies justified by efficiency have had long lasting upsides, but have the danger of legitimising flexible labour markets, which can exploit female employment.
Rubery highlighted the need for gender mainstreaming, which calls for the consideration of outcomes of policies for people of all genders.
She argued that the EU needs to bear this in mind as it follows fiscal austerity and promotes flexibility in labour markets.
Adaptive policies can either support women in the workplace by improving health and safety and maternity leave policies or work to change social norms in a way to benefit female workers.
Its support of lowering the minimum wage of its member states, cuts to public sector pay and neoliberal approaches to labour market policy.
Rubery viewed the proposal to make gender equality a pillar of European social rights as a possible sign of a new age in terms of gender equality under the EU.
She argued, however, that as long as the EU supports making labour markets more flexible to the detriment of female workers and lowering minimum wage, the EU cannot claim to be supporting gender equality.
Rubery called feminists to come together and work against neoliberal and austerity policies to bring about a new type of labour market that will combine efficiency, equity and productivity.
Since 2015, she has been a Director and a Scientific Member at Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg, Germany.

Uganda’s economy has recently experienced a slight rebound after a five year slow down, giving rise to a feeling of optimism.
Regional instability among Uganda’s top trading partners combined with a 1.2 million refugee population has also placed strains on Uganda’s economy.
Additionally, despite passing its Millennium Development Goal of halving poverty, preventing those who have escaped poverty from sliding back in has proven difficult.
The main World Bank projects are involved in infrastructure and education in order reduce poverty in the country, with eleven projects currently underway.
Education in particular is important, since the average years of education for a Ugandan at age 18 are 7 years, yet regionally it is 8.1.
One such project is the Uganda Support for Municipal Development Project (USMID), which is a USD$150 million IDA led project that began in 2013 with potential plans to expand since 2018.
The project was conceived in order to facilitate urban infrastructure development by lending money for the development of fourteen municipalities, where each of these municipalities has considerable autonomy in choosing what kinds of infrastructure programs best suit them.
On April 19, 2018, the IDA proposed increasing the amount by an additional USD$335 million with the intention of increasing the geographical range of the program to eight more municipalities while increasing the depth of the program in existing ones.
Other examples of large infrastructure development projects include the North Eastern Road-Corridor Asset Management Project (NERAMP), which is designed to increase the efficiency, oversight and quality of road building in the north.
According to the UN, Uganda is also home to the third largest refugee population in the world, adding additional stress to its economy and increasing demand for education.
Several World Bank projects are designed to help with this, including the Uganda Multi-Sectoral Food Security and Nutrition Project and the Uganda Skills Development Project.
The Uganda Multi-Sectoral Food Security and Nutrition Project seeks to educate people about micro-nutrient rich eating and gardening techniques, as well as holding various workshops demonstrating healthy food habits.
Meanwhile, the Uganda Skills Development Project is a multi-objective program designed broadly to improve worker skills, fill the needs of the economy, and provide regulation for other training services.

Jesse Juntheikki (born March 10, 1988) is a Finnish professional ice hockey centre currently playing for Brest Albatros Hockey of the FFHG Division 1.
This is a list of association footballers who have been recognised as part of a winning squad in both the UEFA Champions League (including under its former name, the European Cup) and the equivalent in South America, the Copa Libertadores during their career.
Some players have received medals without playing in the final match: either for being unused substitutes, or, more recently, for being in the squad in earlier rounds of the tournament.
The list includes 10 players (at the end of year 2019), all of whom are originally from Brazil or Argentina before moving to a European club, and in most cases (seven of the ten) their Libertadores win preceded their move across the Atlantic Ocean where their successes included the Champions League.
The most recent addition is Rafinha, who won the 2019 Copa Libertadores after returning from Europe, which Juan Pablo Sorín and Ronaldinho also achieved.
Inna Lisnyanskaya or Inna Lisnianskaya () was a Jewish-Russian poet from USSR, later Russia, her most creative period of writing occurred in the village for poets and writers of Peredelkino near Moscow, where she lived with her husband and co-worker, Semyon Lipkin.
In 2000, she said to Maxim D. Shrayer of Boston College, US, editor of Jewish-Russian anthology, that in 1944, when became known about the Holocaust, she officially claimed that she was of Jewish ethnicity, to protest the fascist murder of Jewish people; she believed in Jesus Christ as well as wrote about the Jewish culture in her poetry.
When Inna was a 5 grade class pupil, she was working as an aide in an Azerbaijani Military Hospital during the last period of World War 2 where were treated Soviet soldiers with facial wound (later she wrote a sonnet In Hospital of Facial Wound).
She began writing some poetry, as well as translations from Azerbaijani in Russian, since 1948, her first collection of poetry was published in 1957 in Baku.
Once, Inna Lisyanskaya was, in early 1960s, listening to Semyon Lipkin reading his poetry about World War 2 in Moscow Central Writers' House, later they met in 1967 and married.
Russian almanac Metropole, published abroad, rearranged a collection of young Soviet poets in 1979 to publish, but all writers in Soviet Union must first take permission in Communist government for every publication.
The Communist government hadn't allowed them to do this, but Metropole was anyway published in US, and as a result two Soviet young writers, Viktor Yerofeyev and Evgeniy Popov, were expelled from the Soviet Writer's Union.
Inna Lisnyanskaya, Semyon Lipkin and writer Vasily Aksyonov (Aksyonov was more known and published in USSR, but Lipkin was elder in their group, born 1913) decided to support the young writers and left Soviet Writer's Union in sympathy with the young poets.
The leaving of the Soviet Writer's Union resulted in the next: poets were banned to publish anything anymore in Soviet Union, banned to travel abroad.
Inna Lisnyanskaya said in an interview in 1990, that the prohibitions were even good for her poetic work, because she ceased to be forced to censor herself for Soviet publications, because she was not anymore writing for Soviet Union, but only for close friends.
But Communist government continued to pressure her also to cease all her foreign publications, that Lisnyanskaya was partly forced to stop from publishing some of her poetry abroad.
All restrictions were lifted from Inna Lisnyanskaya in 1987, her poetry was published in many Soviet magazines, she became major Soviet poet, her first Russian book of poetry, Poems, was printed in 1991, and Inna Lisnyanskaya was awarded with various prizes as Solzhenitsyn Prize and Russia's Poet Prize.
Collection of her poetry Without You was dedicated to her friend, co-worker, and husband, Semyon Lipkin, when Galina Lisnyanskaya has lost him in 2004.
American writer Ronald Meyer, who often visited her in the village of Peredelkino and became friends, said about the book of poetry as a talented, remarkable work.
Joseph Brodsky, a Russian poet, Nobel laureate, said once in an interview for the magazine 'Russian Thought' that he was significantly touched by poetry written by Inna Lisnyanskaya and Semyon Lipkin.
A collection of Inna Lisnyanskaya's poetry was translated from Russian in English language by Daniel Weissbort (see Far from Sodom; Arc Publications, 2005) as well as by Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams (see Headwaters; Perpetua Press, 2008).
Boris Grigorevich Goltz (Russian: Борис Григорьевич Гольц; 16 December (OS) / 29 December 1913 – 3 March 1942), was a Russian composer.
His harmony teacher, V. V. Pushkov, persuaded him to take up composing seriously, and he obtained a double degree in piano (graduated 1938) and composition (graduated 1940).
Goltz volunteered for the Army, but was instead assigned to the Political Administration of the Baltic Fleet, to compose patriotic songs.
He worked in inhuman conditions during the Siege of Leningrad, and died six months after the start of the Siege, of illness caused by malnutrition.

Researchers identified the nematode as a possible host because they feed on insects by targeting their larvae and releasing bacteria that then confront pathogens similar to those found in humans.
Gram-negative bacteria have a characteristic architecture for the cell envelope, with an inner membrane, an outer membrane, and a periplasmic space in between.
In this arrangement, the peptidoglycan layer is relatively thin and does not retain the crystal violet stain used in the Gram staining method of bacterial classification.
Antibiotic resistance has become wide-spread in bacterial pathogens, and in Gram-negative bacteria such as the Enterobacteriaceae, much of this comes from acquired genes.
Its production and export is encoded by a typically silent five gene operon that showed minimal production under laboratory culture conditions.
Mature darobactin consists of a seven amino acids core peptide derived from a longer precursor, with unusual Trp-1 to Trp-3 and Trp-3 to Lys-5 (or Arg-5, in variant forms) crosslinks.
Dr Dhrubajyoti Ghosh (1947 – February 16, 2018) was a UN Global 500 Laureate, Special Advisor on Agricultural Ecosystems, part of the Commission on Ecosystem Management, and Regional Chair for South Asia of the IUCN.
He is most credited for devoting his life for the survival of the East Kolkata Wetlands, naming it, and creating the worlds only fully functioning organic sewage management system.
He attended the University of Calcutta in West Bengal, India, and was the first engineer of the university to graduate with a PhD in ecology.
He went on to become a sanitation engineer for the West Bengal government, which brought the issues of the Kolkata Wetlands to his sites.
Advocating nature-based solutions, Dhrubajyoti Ghosh's work in the East Kolkata showed it could be used for free-of-charge sewage work, fertile aquatic gardens and fisheries, and flood defenses with minimal harm to the environment.
This land soon became the worlds only fully functional organic sewage management system, treating 750 million litres/day, using solar UV radiation to purify canals leading into the wetlands.
His main complaint on the upkeep of this project is that there is no large scale management or municipal ownership of the system to keep quality control, and there is currently no known governmental plans to change that.
His work included being Chief of the Department of Environment of the Government of West Bengal, member of the Board of Trustees of the India Worldwide Fund for Nature, fellow of the National Institute of Science within the Government of India, member to the management board of RAMSAR, and a member of the National Wetland Committee.

As a child, Iturriaga did not receive any formal musical training, but music was always present in the Iturriaga family house.
His grandmother and older cousins often played the piano during family gatherings, arousing Enrique's interest in music from an early age, and was also encouraged by his father to play the piano.
The young Iturriaga was naturally involved in music and enjoyed improvising on the piano; He also learned to play popular music like Peruvian waltz, marinera, tango, jazz, all by ear.
Peruvian popular music not only played an important role in the development of Iturriaga's childhood, but also later shaped his musical creativity.
In the coastal regions of Peru where he grew up, the most common type of popular music during the first half of the twentieth century was música criolla.
Although Iturriaga's exposure to music in his early years was predominantly that of popular idioms, the family's Victrola gramophone also gave him the opportunity to explore a selection of music and art.
However, in an isolated environment, such as the city of Huacho, where Iturriaga spent his childhood, the opportunities for music concerts of different artistic angles are very rare, and as a result, Iturriaga could satisfy his curiosity for music art only by Gramophone use.
Iturriaga learned to play popular music with relative ease because of his keen ear, but was not interested in becoming a popular music artist; rather, it was the invention of original piano pieces that fascinated him most.
In 1932, at the age of fourteen, he auditioned in Lima for Lily Rosay, piano teacher at the Sas-Rosay Academy of Music.
He enters the National University of San Marcos and studies in the faculty of letters, then leaves his studies to enter the National Conservatory of Music.
He was part of the group of Peruvian composers who in the 1950s renewed the art music of their country, through the introduction of new musical techniques and the improvement of musical work.
In 1963 he traveled to the United States, invited to meet and study the work of universities and other higher institutions in the field of music.
The same year he traveled to Santiago de Chile, invited by the University of Chile to attend the Inter-American Congress of Musical Educators.
In addition to teaching and criticism, his dissemination work was expanded with the publication of the books La música en el Perú – in co-authorship – and Método de composición melódica.
In 1957 he won the Juan Landaeta Prize, Caracas; and in 1965, the Third Ibero-American Festival of Washington commissioned him with a work Vivencias, that was premiered by the Buffalo Symphony Orchestra.
In 2005 he was awarded the Medal of Honor of the Peruvian Culture of the National Institute of Culture of Peru.
Alongside her husband, she co-founded the Tuckamore Festival in 2001 and is a University Research Professor of Violin and Viola at the Memorial University of Newfoundland.

The ship's first exercises occurred on 31 January 1944, when it participated in targeting and attack exercises in conjunction with , , and in Holy Loch.
This process caused the development of the industrial sector of the economy, which allowed to increase labor productivity and partially provided the economy with industrial products.
However, the beginning of the introduction of machine production in leading industries and vehicles was in the second quarter of the XIX century.
Russia was in the role of catching up, trying to catch up with the advanced countries of the West in terms of industrial development.
The combat readiness of the army depended directly on the level of development of the economy and, above all, on the degree of development metallurgical, textile, cloth and other industries.
All these plants used raw materials of a low level and the quality of the metal produced was not the best, but the small distance of these plants from the place of hostilities was invaluable.
At the same time, metallurgical plants were being built in the Ural (region), including a large silver mining plant was founded in 1704 in Nerchinsk, which was of great importance for the future development of the monetary business and the country's economy.
As a result of this construction, an industry was created that was able to equip the army with powerful artillery and other weapons.
In total, over 28 private and company-owned and 7 state-owned iron factories, one state-owned and two company-owned copper plants, arose in Central Russia in the first third of the 18th century.
In the first quarter of the 18th century, due to a sharp increase in the size of the army and navy, the textile and especially sailing-and-linen industry began to develop rapidly.
However, Peter I conducted a series of laws that aggravated the situation of peasants and prevented the creation of a wage labor market.
After the death of Peter I, up to the middle of the century, the industry of Russia, in spite of everything, continued to develop.
In the middle of the 18th century, Russia took the first place in the world in the smelting of cast iron and became its main exporter to Europe.
The most noticeable growth was observed in the field of metallurgy and the textile industry, and details of industrialization in the field of agriculture are also visible.
In the field of metallurgical production and metalworking, at the beginning of Catherine's reign there were 182 enterprises, and at the end of the XVIII century about 200.
At the end of the sixties in the textile industry there were 231 large enterprises, including 73 woolen factories, 85 linen and 60 silk.
At the end of the 18th century, the number of textile enterprises reached 1082, of which 158 were woolen, 318 were linen and 357 were silk.
The decrees of Catherine II on the ban on the purchase of serfs to factories and their registration with enterprises and on the free foundation of industrial enterprises for all sectors of society (1775) intensified the process of attracting hired workers to production.
In Russia, the industrial revolution began in the 1820s, went extremely slowly and ended after the abolition of serfdom.This process was completed no earlier than the 1880s, when the technical and social restructuring of the Ural mining industry, which was entirely based on serf labor, ended.
The serf system, in turn, narrowed down the possibilities of creating a free-labor market and was the main obstacle to the industrial revolution.
In England, starting from the 1760s, and after it in other Western European countries, there was a process of accumulation of technical experience and the introduction of technical inventions, which became the condition for the transition to machine production.
Only at the end of the XVIII century, on the initiative of the government, a discussion began on a large-scale project that concerned the use of English comb out and spinning machines.
In the years 1841-1845 they were imported in the amount of 668 thousand rubles, in the next five years this amount increased by 2.5 times, and in the first half of the 1850s amounted to more than two million rubles.
This started the process of crowding out the manufactory with a factory, which proceeded extremely unevenly in different industries and in different regions.
On the basis of a centralized manufactory, industries such as paper and glass developed, the products of which mainly met the country's needs.
Since the beginning of the century, the number of enterprises in paper production has almost tripled and reached 165.Here about 80% of production was produced using machines.
Crisis phenomena were observed in the mining industry of the Urals, where manufactory production was based on monopoly and forced labor.
In the pre-reform period, cast iron smelting increased slightly (from 10 million pounds at the beginning of the century to 18 million pounds by 1861).
And while at the end of the 18th century Russia accounted for about a third of the world smelting of pig iron, by 1860 its share did not exceed 4%.Weak technical base made the production of metallurgical plants uncompetitive.
The labor productivity of workers attached to factories was low, and the owners of mining plants did not introduce steam engines, relying on the cheapness of manual labor.
However, the owners of the plants did not use coal for puddling, which led to large-scale deforestation, to an increase in production costs and to an even wider use of non-economic forms of exploitation of workers.The crisis in the mining industry also affected the position of state-owned military factories, where modern metalworking and mechanical production increasingly dealt with the supply of low-quality raw materials.
The serfdom slowed down the introduction of technical discoveries and inventions into the industry.The low cost of serfdom made it unprofitable to replace it with machine labor based on the use of steam engines.
Entrepreneurs were not interested in raising the qualifications of the workforce; labor productivity at state-owned and private-owned manufactories grew extremely slowly.An incomplete industrial revolution doomed the country to lagging behind industrialized European countries.
The completion of the industrial revolution and the overcoming of this lag was directly related to the elimination of serfdom, since serfdom was the main obstacle to the emergence in Russia of a free wage labor market.
By the early 1880s, the main industrial products began to be produced at factories and plants using machines and mechanisms driven by steam.
At the end of the 70s of the XIX century, 58% of the textile industry was produced on 50 thousand mechanical looms.
In the second half of the 80s and up to the end of the century, primarily heavy industry developed at a rapid pace, the volume of production of which increased by 4 times, and the number of workers doubled.If in the 80s large mechanized enterprises were rare among the huge mass of artisanal production, then in the late XIX - early XX centuries.
At the end of the decade, it ended with a new systemic crisis, which was part of the recession in world industrial production and was accompanied by an agrarian crisis.
In search of a way out of this difficult situation, the government made deliberate efforts that led to an unprecedented industrial boom that began in 1893.
In the industry of the Russian Empire there is a period of slowdown in comparison with the end of the XIX century.
From 1894 to 1914, in the Russian Empire, coal production increased by 306%, oil - by 65% (growth stopped in 1901, since then no increase has been observed), gold - by 43%, copper - by 375%; cast iron - by 250%; iron and steel - by 224%.
At the beginning of the XX century, the Russian Empire, along with the United States, occupied a leading position in world agriculture.
This is especially evident in the example of grain crops: in the first 14 years of the XX century, the sown area increased by 15%, grain yield by 10%, grain harvest per capita by more than 20%.
Gross grain harvest - 5637 million poods (92.5 million tons) - 1 place in the world (half the world rye crop, second place in wheat harvest), as well as 1 place in grain export - 647.8 million poods were exported (10.61 million tons) of grain.
GDP per capita, calculated in 1990 Giri-Khamis international dollars, in the Russian Empire in 1913 was $1,488 per person with a world average of $1,524, which was below the level of all European countries except Portugal, and approximately corresponded to the level of Japan and the average Latin America level.
For example, in the same time period, industrial production in England decreased by 11%, and in Germany it decreased as much as 36%.
As we see, the development of industry reached the peak both in quantitative and in qualitative terms towards the end of the existence of the Russian Empire, on the eve of the February Revolution.

Old Kia Kima is a restored former Boy Scout summer camp now owned and operated by the Old Kia Kima Preservation Association.
The camp is situated on a bluff overlooking the South Fork of the Spring River, in Sharp County near Hardy, Arkansas.
The original Kamp Kia Kima opened in 1916 and operated (excluding World War II years) as a Boy Scout summer camp until 1963.
For the next 33 years the camp was in a state of abandonment and ruin until 1996 when the Old Kia Kima Preservation Association, Inc. was formed with the mission to restore the camp.
In 1964, Boy Scout summer camp activities were moved to a new, larger camp now known as the Kia Kima Scout Reservation.
After having been closed for 39 years, in 2002 the former Boy Scout camp reopened under the name Old Kia Kima.
The Old Kia Kima Preservation Association (OKKPA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit youth leadership and service organization formed to restore the former Boy Scout summer camp and in so doing, provide camping facilities to qualified youth groups so they can experience the spirit of Old Kia Kima.
Cosmopolites sordidus, commonly known as the banana root borer, banana borer, or banana weevil, is a species of weevil in the family Curculionidae.
It is a pest of banana cultivation and has a cosmopolitan distribution, being found in all parts of the world in which bananas are grown.
The eighth abdominal segment of the larva bears a large spiracle, the remaining segments bearing small spiracles; the last two segments appear truncated, being fused together to form a plate-like structure.
It now has a cosmopolitan distribution and is found in all the banana-growing regions of the world: southwestern Europe, southern Asia, Africa, Australia, South and Central America, the West Indies and Mexico.
They have been reported as feeding on Manila hemp, sugarcane and yams, but they probably only do this when they are unable to access banana plants.
The adult female deposits her eggs singly between the leaf sheath and the stem, or at the base of the stem in the vicinity of the corm.
On hatching about six days later, the larvae burrow into the stem or the root, and it is their burrowing activities that weaken the plant and make it liable to be blown over.
The tunnelling activities of the root borer weaken the stem, make the plant more susceptible to lodging, cause reduced uptake of nutrients, and result in crop damage and lower yields.
Planting insect-free roots or tissue culture plantlets may be effective for a few years before insects move in from surrounding areas.

Stepan Mykolayovych Sosnovy (March 23, 1896 in Rizdvyanka (now Syvaske), Russian Empire - March 26, 1961 in Kiev, Ukrainian SSR) was a Ukrainian-Soviet agronomist and economist and author of the first comprehensive study of the 1932-1933 Holodomor in Ukraine.
Together with his younger brother Timofei (Timothy during his later life in the US) he was orphaned at the age of 9.
In the inter-war period, he published several statistical works, which mainly discussed issues of land plot lease in the Ukrainian SSR.
In 1932-1936 he worked as an agronomist in Yakymivka District, Zaporizhia Oblast, where he witnessed the mass famine (later known as Holodomor) and later claimed that he had developed an anti-Soviet sentiments just at that time.
In September 1941, he was offered a job in Moscow, but he declined and stayed in Kharkov, which was occupied shortly thereafter by the German troops, together with his two sons, his mother-in-law and his sick wife.
On November 24, 1941, he got a job in the Agricultural Administration, where he worked as head of the economic statistics department.
In early August 1943, during the Soviet offensive on Kharkov, his wife moved to Kiev with their sons Vladimir (1926) and Alexander (1927).
He noted that since authorities took most of their livestock from peasants in the years of collectivization, they lost their economic independence.
In analyzing the role of MTS (Machinery and Tractor Stations), S. Sosnovy showed that the creation and enforcement of these stations in Ukraine actually led to the creation of a state agricultural monopoly.
Comparing statistics with other years, including the lean years, he believed that Ukraine had enough grain from the 1932 harvest to feed the population and even livestock.
He noted that the excessive corn procurement plan was a killer factor for the peasants because every last grain was confiscated in order to fulfill the plan.
Thanks to the use of the 1926 census data of Soviet Ukraine and a series of open statistical and economic collections from the 1930s, Sosnovy was the first Ukrainian scientist who attempted to estimate the number of victims of the famine.
His younger brother Timothy (died 1983), a member of OUN-M, emigrated (Germany, later USA), where he began to teach and contribute to the dissemination of his brother's research.
He was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment in forced labor camps, with 5 years loss of rights and complete confiscation of property.
A decision of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR of 11 April 1958 abolished the loss of rights and cleared his criminal record.

The Church of Our Lady of Nazareth of Engenho Itaperoá () is an abandoned 18th-century Roman Catholic church in São Cristóvão, Sergipe, Brazil.
It was listed as a historic structure by the State of Sergipe in 1984; despite its heritage designation, the church is in advanced state of ruin.
It has an elaborate baroque-style pediment with volutes; it likely had an image in the tympanum, but the pediment is in a state of advanced ruin.
Each tower has a small door corresponding to the central doors of the church at the lower level and a window above corresponding to those of the choir level.
It church likely connected to other buildings on the plantation, an architectural feature found on numerous sugarcane plantations of the period in Sergipe and Bahia.
In both design and scale it resembles the Chapel of the Nossa Senhora da Penha Sugar Plantation in nearby Riachuelo and the Church of Tejupeba House and the Chapel of the Colégio Sugar Plantation in Itaporanga D'Ajuda.
The Igreja de Nossa Senhora de Nazaré was listed as a historic structure by the State of Sergipe on January 6, 1984 under Decree No.
It is one of two protected rural chapel structures in São Cristóvão, the other being the Chapel of Our Lady of the Conception of Engenho Poxim.
The Church of Our Lady of Nazareth of Engenho Itaperoá is located on private property, but visible from a rural road that connects BA-101, the highway that crosses much of the east coast of Brazil, to the city of São Cristóvão.
As she grew up in a poor household, Tobias took a job as a school bus driver and worked at the police department after high school.
Upon enlisting in the Navy in March 1974, she inquired a Navy recruiter about the possibility of her becoming a diver.
At the age of 21, she applied to the Navy 2nd Class Diving School and was accepted two days before the program started in January 1975.
During training, she was required to dive while carrying more than 200 pounds of gear in dark, cold or turbulent water.
Despite this, Tobias became the first woman to graduate from the Navy Deep Sea Diving School and went on to work with the Navy search and salvage operations.
She was unable to join sea duty billets so she accepted a position as an instructor at the Submarine Escape Training Tank at Submarine Naval Base in New London.
Tobias also worked within the hyperbaric chamber to treat divers suffering embolisms and civilians suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning and gangrene.
After eight years in the Navy, Tobias earned her bachelor's degree in education and a master's in psychology and taught special-education classes at New London High School.

Tensions between the multinational technology company Google and its workers escalated in 2018 and 2019 as staff protested company decisions on a censored Chinese search engine, a military drone artificial intelligence, and internal sexual harassment.
Alphabet, the parent company of the multinational technology company Google, has over 100,000 full-time employees internationally, in addition to contract employees.
Google has seen a rise in worker activism since 2018, with a swiftly changing internal culture in which staff have been alienated by scandals including a 2017 memo about Google's culture and diversity policies, revelation of a large exit package offered to an executive accused of sexual harassment, and staff accusations of retaliation.
In April, walkout organizers Meredith Whittaker and Claire Stapleton wrote that they were being demoted or reassigned as retaliation for their organizing.
The company denied the allegations but instituted new policies against employee protest and in-office politics, which further eroded worker trust from parts of its staff.
A September settlement with the National Labor Relations Board in response to Stapleton and Whittaker's departures required policy clarifications that explicitly let employees act collectively and discuss workplace issues with each other and the press.
In November 2019, Google fired and suspended workers for media leaks and misuse of internal data, which some internal sources described as retaliation against activist staff.
A publicized, 200-worker demonstration in San Francisco protested the suspension of Rebecca Rivers and Laurence Berland as unjust and demanded their reinstatement.
Rivers had protested the United States Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) business with a Google cloud product and Berland had protested YouTube's use of hate speech policy in relation to gay rights.
Both Rivers and Berland spoke about their personal experiences at the rally, emphasizing the opaqueness behind being put on leave, particularly that they had not been told what they did wrong.
Rivers said that the leave was about investigating her document access, but was questioned mostly in relation to her activism over Google's government contracts.
Following the rally, Google fired Rivers, Berland, and two rally participants, known together as the Thanksgiving Four, based on the firings' proximity to the holiday.
Internal activists described the recently changed access policy as vague and emphasized that viewing documents outside the scope of one's job was routine as part of Google's culture of openness and emphasized within the company's recruiting.
CNBC wrote that Google harmed itself with its unspecific public response, which obscured the legitimacy of the firings and let critics circulate their own conclusions, namely that staff were being fired for organizing.
Around the same time, the company curtailed its weekly town hall meetings in response to leaks, reducing their frequency and narrowing their focus from general management questions to product and business strategy.
Internal activists cited other recent policy changes in their accusation of company retaliation against collective action: employee guidelines on political speech, web browser history trackers, anti-union consultants, and a calendar tool to track events with over 100 participants.
In early December, the Communications Workers of America union filed a federal labor complaint against Google for the November Four firings, opening a National Labor Relations Board investigation for Berland, Rivers, Paul Duke, and Sophie Waldman.
The union also filed a complaint on behalf of Kathryn Spiers, an employee who said she was fired for building a reminder about worker protections in an internal HR guideline/policy reminder tool maintained by her team.
Google said Spiers was fired not for the content of her message but for using a security and privacy tool for an unrelated purpose, and without business justification or team authorization.
These 2,300 workers who prepare food and wash dishes are organizing with the union Unite Here, which is negotiating a contract with Compass Group.
The Bremer Tageszeitung AG (BTAG) (Bremer newspaper AG) is a publishing house that publishes various regional newspapers in the city of Bremen and the close by region in Lower Saxony.

The sculpture is made of stone, stainless steel, aluminum, gold leaf, and concrete, and includes an arch and two 40ft columns, each topped with golden sheaves of wheat.
The first Norwood bridge was deemed unsafe in 1929, and negotiations toward construction of a replacement bridge began in the fall of 1930 between the City of Winnipeg and the City of St Boniface.
The original cost estimate for the Norwood Bridge replacement was $620,000, with costs shared between the federal and provincial governments, as well as both the City of Winnipeg and City of St Boniface.
The construction of the current bridge required relocation of the City of Winnipeg Water Utility pumphouse from the east side of Main Street to the west side of Main street.
The construction of bridge was the first in Winnipeg to use large, flat-topped barges instead of work bridges, and implemented northern ice road building techniques to use large cranes and other construction equipment on the river.
The Mount Union Purple Raiders football team competes as part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in Division III, representing the University of Mount Union in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC).
With more than 800 wins, the Purple Raiders rank in the top 20 in most wins in NCAA history, and the most of any team in Division III.
From 1893 until 1913, Mount Union played as an independent, then joining the OAC in 1914, has remained their ever since.
A security token offering (STO)/Tokenized IPO is a type of public offering in which tokenized digital securities, known as security tokens, are sold in cryptocurrency exchanges.
Tokens can be used to trade real financial assets such as equities and fixed income, and use a blockchain virtual ledger system to store and validate token transactions.
Due to tokens being classified as securities, STOs are more susceptible to regulation and thus represent a more secure investment alternative than ICOs, which have been subject to numerous fraudulent schemes.
Furthermore, since ICOs are not held in traditional exchanges, they can be a less expensive funding source for small and medium-sized companies when compared to an IPO.
An STO on a regulated stock exchange (referred to as a Tokenized IPO) has the potential to deliver significant efficiencies and cost savings, however.
By the end of 2019, STOs have been used in multiple scenarios including the trading of Nasdaq-listed company stocks, the pre-IPO of World Chess, FIDE's official broadcasting platform, and the creation of Singapore Exchange's own STO market, backed by Japan's Tokai Tokyo Financial Holdings.
Though sharing some core concepts with ICOs and IPOs, STOs are in fact different from both, standing as an intermediary model.
The main difference stands in the fact that ICO tokens are the offered cryptocurrency's actual coins, entirely digital, and classified as utilities.
In this sense, STOs are actually more similar to IPOs, with the difference being that one isn't required to be an accredited investor with a high net worth to take part in the initial offering.
In general, though, STOs are placed under securities legislation (together with traditional IPOs), and ICOs under utilities, with the differentiation being made mostly on a case-by-case basis.
It is worth noting that even in countries where STOs and ICOs are under the same legislation, security tokens still require a connection to a registered company with real assets being sold.
The main debate surrounding security tokens is, thus, the legal differentiation of what can be qualified as a utility instead of a security.
Generally, legislation understands that if a passive financial return is expected from the investment, then it is classified as a security.
This way, even if the offering company understands their tokens are merely a utility asset with no expected return investment, if it can be proven otherwise then the ICO becomes an unregulated STO, passive of legal punishment.
Moreover, this assumption of utility has been abused by some STO offering companies to sell securities without regulatory compliance (maliciously labeled as ICOs).
This legal ambiguity has led to some ICO offerers being prosecuted by the SEC as a security offering part, though their tokens were announced as utilities.
Such companies include messaging apps Kik and Telegram, the former being sued by the SEC for over $100 million and the latter delaying their offering plans after similar prosecution.
One of the main selling points of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin has been the decentralization aspect, by which no government can influence or control the currency.
By extension, a cryptocurrency is not directly affected by a specific country's jurisdiction, sociopolitical environment, or economic events (although volatility to such matters has been perceived numerous times).
Such a lack of regulation has led to the rising of large-scale crypto-related criminal activity, ranging from terrorist funding to tax evasion, most of which go untracked and unpunished.
Similarly, ICO scams have been an increasingly troublesome matter, causing billions of dollars in losses and damaging the cryptocurrency market's value as a whole.
Security token offerings are seen as a direct response to such matters, being tied to real, registered assets, and regulated by a specific jurisdiction while still allowing such jurisdiction to be picked by the offering party (upon legal registration and permission request).
So far, STOs have been regulated and legalized in many countries where ICOs have not, due to fitting in many already pre-existing regulations regarding securities.
It continued to serve the inhabitants of the area between 1909 and 1953 and was one of several basic halts opened on the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway in Carmarthenshire, Wales.
The station was opened as Pembrey Halt on 02 August 1909 by the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway on the Kidwelly and Burry Port section of the line and was closed by the British Transport Commission in 1953 with the last passenger train running on Saturday 19 September 1953.
It was on the southern section of the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway with Craiglon Bridge Halt to the north and Burry Port to the south at the end of the passenger line.
The line had been built on the course of an old canal with resulting tight curves, low bridge clearance and a tendency to flooding.
The freight service continued for coal traffic on the Cwmmawr branch to Kidwelly until 1996 by which time the last of the local collieries had closed down and the washery closure followed.
The halt lay slightly to the north of the road bridge and was close to the town centre; the station had no public sidings.
The Kidwelly route was used for coal trains, resulting in the lifting of track between Trimsaran Road and Burry Port by 2005.
The section of the old line between Burry Port and Craiglon Bridge Halt is now a footpath and the NCN 4 cyclepath.
The building was designed by Puerto Rican architect Rafael Carmoega, then an architect of the Department of the Interior, with assistance of Francisco Garden.
The Driving America Forward Act is legislation introduced in the U.S. Senate and House in 2019 that extends the federal tax credit for electric vehicle purchases.
The Senate bill (S. 1094) was introduced on April 9, 2019 by Democratic Senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters, and Republican Senators Lamar Alexander and Susan Collins.
According to the Edison Electric Institute, the trade association for investor-owned utility companies, there were over 1.27 million electric vehicles (EVs) on the roads in the United States as of June 2019.
Sales of EVs have grown: total sales of EVs in the U.S. in 2018 were 81 percent higher than in 2017.
To spur growth in the adoption of electric vehicles by U.S. consumers, in 2008 Congress created the electric vehicle tax credit by passing the Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008, which President George W. Bush signed.
The following year, President Barack Obama's economic stimulus bill (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) extended the life of the tax credit to people who bought their electric vehicles after 2009.
Congress structured the law in a way that phases out the tax credit for each automobile manufacturer once they sell 200,000 qualifying electric vehicles.
Under the bill, when people buy qualifying electric vehicles or hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, they get a dollar-for-dollar reduction in their federal tax liability (taxes owed for that year).
For example, if someone's federal income tax is $7,500 for the year, and they purchase an electric vehicle that qualifies for a $7,500 tax credit, that person would not owe anything in federal taxes for that year.
Under current law, the first 200,000 electric vehicles manufactured by each automaker come with a $7,500 tax credit to the consumers who buy them.
The Driving America Forward Act would allow an additional 400,000 EVs to come with a tax credit (slightly less, at $7,000 per vehicle).
Unless the bill is signed into law, people who buy EVs from manufacturers who have already sold over 200,000 electric vehicles do not get the tax credit.
This cost is calculated as a loss in tax revenues that the federal government would otherwise receive if the tax credits were not extended.
Other automobile manufacturers, automotive trade associations, Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, the Association of Global Automakers, electric utility companies, and pro-environment advocacy groups have come out in support of the bill.
Supporters of the bill in Congress, as of spring of 2019, were planning to attach the bill to a larger tax reform bill that they had hoped would be considered for debate.
In October 2018, Barrasso attempted to stop the bill and instead replace it with a tax on electric vehicles that would go toward road repair projects.
Another major opponent is the Trump Administration, which in March 2019 announced it wanted to eliminate the entire $7,500 tax credit.

While the initial release of the album was digital-only, deluxe versions of the album were reissued on CD and vinyl containing additional songs recorded during the tour.
A Blu-ray edition was also released, containing video of all of the tracks present on the digital, CD, and vinyl editions.
Since the early 1970s, extrajudicial punishment attacks have been carried out by Ulster loyalist and Irish republican paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland.
Attacks can range from a warning or expulsion from Northern Ireland, backed up by the threat of violence, to severe beatings that leave victims in hospital and shootings in the limbs (such as kneecapping).
The cause of the attacks is disputed; proposed explanations include the breakdown of order as a result of the Northern Ireland conflict (–1998), ideological opposition to British law enforcement (in the case of republicans), and the ineffectiveness of police to prevent crime.
Since reporting began in 1973, more than 6,106 shootings and beatings have been reported to the police, leading to at least 115 deaths.
Most victims are young men and boys under the age of thirty years, whom their attackers claim are responsible for criminal or antisocial behaviour.
From the late 1960s to 1998, the Northern Ireland conflict (also known as the Troubles), was a civil war between Irish republican groups, who wanted Northern Ireland to leave the United Kingdom and unite with the Republic of Ireland, and Ulster loyalist groups, who wanted Northern Ireland to remain part of the UK.
The origin of the conflict occurred during the Irish revolutionary period of the early twentieth century, during which most of Ireland seceded from the UK and became the Irish Free State, while the northern six counties opted to remain under the terms of the Anglo-Irish Treaty.
The Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) was the largest republican paramilitaries group, while smaller groups include the Irish National Liberation Army and the Official IRA.
All three ceased military activity during the Northern Ireland peace process, which led to the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, the official end of the conflict.
However, dissident republicans—such as the Real IRA and the Continuity IRA—do not recognize the peace agreement and wage an ongoing campaign.
The Ulster Defence Association (UDA) and Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) are rival groups that are responsible for the majority of loyalist murders during the Troubles, while smaller loyalist groups include the Red Hand Commando, Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF), and Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF).
Both republican and loyalist groups consider punishment attacks separate from military activity and continue to carry them out while on ceasefire status.
The Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) was an armed force that took a military approach to counter-terrorism, had been drawn into pro-unionist sectarianism, colluded with loyalist groups, and committed police brutality, including beatings of suspects.
Real and perceived human rights violations by security forces—including internment without trial, special courts for political offences, the use of plastic bullets by riot police, and alleged shoot-to-kill policy—further sapped the state's legitimacy for nationalists.
Both nationalist and unionist communities complained that the RUC did not respond quickly enough to calls relating to petty crime, and that suspects were pressured to inform on paramilitaries.
Since the replacement of the RUC with the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) in 2001, trust has improved, with more than 70% in both communities having a positive assessment of the PSNI's performance.
However, in many republican neighbourhoods identity has been shaped by distrust of the authorities, with one republican neighbourhood in West Belfast reporting only 35% trust in the police.
Among the complaints are harassment by security forces, the ineffectiveness of the police, and perceived leniency of sentences meted out by British courts.
Irish nationalist movements have a long history of establishing alternative legal systems, especially the land courts of the Land War and the Dáil Courts during the Anglo-Irish War.
Following partition, loyalist militias patrolled parts of the border with the Irish Free State and, in Belfast, the Ulster Unionist Labour Association set up an unofficial police force in the 1920s.
To protect themselves, nationalists set up Citizen Defence Committees (not connected to physical-force republican groups) which built and manned barricades and patrolled the neighborhood.
In nationalist neighborhoods of Derry such as the Bogside, Brandywell, and Creggan, these committees worked to control petty crime by delivering stern lectures to offenders.
The Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) became the major enforcer of informal justice in republican areas in the early 1970s, as the civil rights movement transitioned into guerilla war.
At the same time, there was a spike in crime: from two murders and three or four armed robberies each year in the 1960s to 200 murders and 600 armed robberies annually during the next decade.
Despite making the news, rates of car theft were actually still lower in Northern Ireland than in England and Wales, although 70% of car thefts in Northern Ireland occurred in Belfast.
Suspects often were given the opportunity to defend themselves to Sinn Féin before the organization made a decision on their guilt or innocence.
According to anthropologist Neil Jarman, vigilantism emerged in both loyalist and republican areas due to the failings in state policing, a gap which paramilitaries ended up filling.
In republican neighbourhoods, the IRA was the only organization with the capability to offer an effective alternative to the British judicial system.
The ideology of self-reliance in defence from loyalist attacks came to extend to defending the community from crime, which created a cycle where the IRA was expected to deal with criminality but had no way to do so besides violent attacks.
Both republican and loyalist paramilitaries claim that they began to enforce informal justice due to demand from their communities, and vigilantism came at the expense of the IRA's military campaign.
Many locals believe the victims deserve the attacks, because they have typically broken local conventions governing acceptable behaviour and often actively seek out the circumstances that led to their punishment.
Some local republican and loyalist politicians have justified the attacks by saying that the official system fails working-class communities which bear the brunt of crime.
After the ceasefires declared by loyalist and republican paramilitaries in 1994, the number of shootings decreased while beatings increased as the groups wanted to appear to be following the terms of the ceasefire.
The overall rate of attacks spiked; one explanation for the rise in attacks was the decrease in conventional terrorism, which resulted in bored paramilitaries who turned their attention to punishment attacks.
After the peace agreement was finalized in 1998, the number of fatal terrorist attacks greatly decreased but beatings and intimidation continued to increase.
According to some writers, including Liam Kennedy and Malachi O'Doherty, protecting their own communities is only a pretext and the paramilitaries' real goal is to consolidate control over the community.
Terrorism researcher Andrew Silke argues that both loyalist and republican paramilitaries are reluctant vigilantes, and that their vigilantism is unrelated to their .
However, both informing and petty crime undermine the terrorist group, the latter because if the paramilitaries' response is not satisfactory, it can erode their local support.
The IRA claimed that its methods were more lenient than those of other insurgent groups, such as the Algerian FLN or the French resistance, which Munck agrees with.
The IRA also punished its own members for misusing the organization's name, losing weapons, disobeying orders, or breaking other rules, and launched purges against other republican paramilitary groups such as the Irish People's Liberation Organisation and the Official IRA.
Although informers were usually executed, part of the IRA's strategy for defeating informers included periodic amnesties (usually announced after murders) during which anyone could admit to informing without punishment.
Direct Action Against Drugs was an IRA front group that claimed responsibility for some murders of alleged drug dealers beginning in 1995, allowing the IRA to pretend to follow the ceasefire.
Along with conventional terrorism, punishment attacks are a major feature of the dissident Irish republican campaign carried out by the New IRA and other groups.
However, the attacks are controversial among dissident republicans, who question whether any benefit of the attacks is worth the internal division and alienation of youth.
Ulster loyalist paramilitaries, whilst not drawing on historical precedents, justified their role in terms of maintaining order and enforcing the law.
Nevertheless, they were prepared to mete out their own punishments in cases where they judged the official justice system not to deal harshly enough with the alleged offender.
In 1971, the Ulster Defence Association (UDA), the largest Ulster loyalist group, formed as a merger between various neighbourhood watch and vigilante groups.
The UDA has collected evidence on petty crime and used vigilante punishment against criminals, antisocial elements, rival Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups, and as a means of discipline within groups.
Between 1973 and 1985, loyalists were responsible for many fewer punishment attacks than republicans, due to a view that their role was protecting Protestants from Catholics rather than enforcing rules within Protestant communities.
According to insider Sammy Duddy, the UDA stopped reporting offenders to the police and started to engage in punishment shootings because the police was pressuring the offenders to inform on loyalist groups.
The increase in punishment attacks has been attributed to increasing mistrust of official law enforcement, ineffectiveness at controlling petty crime, and perceived leniency of sentences.
Both the UDA and UVF have less internal discipline than the IRA, which means that an order to stop would be difficult to enforce.
Loyalist groups' punishment style is more haphazard and groups who cannot find their intended target have been known to attack an innocent Catholic individual.
The penalty chosen would be based on the crime and potentially mitigating or aggravating factors such as criminal history, age, gender, and family background.
Crime against targets valued by the community, such as religious leaders, pensioners, community centers, or locally owned businesses, tended to be punished more harshly than crimes against large corporations, which were frequently ignored.
In other cases, victims would be told to show up at a certain time and place, either at a political front organization or at their home, for the attack.
Initially, both republican and loyalist paramilitaries were reluctant to shoot or seriously harm women and children younger than 16, although this became more frequent as the Troubles continued.
The use of such types of humiliation was greatest in the 1970s and decreased due to the risk of getting caught and complaints from Derry Women's Aid that the practice was misogynistic.
Sometimes paramilitaries would approach a person and ask them to leave West Belfast or Northern Ireland within a certain period of time (such as 48 hours), with an implicit threat of serious injury or execution if they did not comply.
It could be applied arbitrarily when paramilitaries go out looking for the victim but cannot find him, they will issue an expulsion order to friends or relatives.
Most victims are young, unemployed and lack educational qualifications as well as the skills and savings needed to establish themselves in a new area.
Some victims, although they have not been convicted of any crime, go to juvenile detention centres to avoid punishment until their sentence expires.
Beatings are accomplished with instruments such as baseball bats, hammers, golf clubs, hurley sticks, iron bars, concrete blocks, and cudgels (often studded with nails).
The resulting injury can be quite severe, involving flesh split by nails, broken skulls, broken limbs, punctured lungs, and other serious damage.
Beatings became more severe after the 1994 ceasefires due to the reduction in shootings, and were often accomplished with baseball bats and similar implements studded with six-inch nails.
As with beatings, there are various degrees of shooting, with the number of shots, proximity to a joint, and the calibre of the firearm depending on the severity of the offence.
Depending on the attack, shooting can leave relatively minor injuries compared to a severe beating, with one NHS doctor estimating that 50% of those with such injuries will have only minor scars.
They were advised to shoot the ankles and wrists instead of the knees because it lessened the risk of the victim bleeding out, as happened to Andrew Kearney in 1998.
According to psychiatrist Oscar Daly, who treats victims of the attacks, the characteristics of those who tend to be victims—such as poor parenting and preexisting mental health problems—make them more vulnerable to psychological sequelae.
A 1995 study found that symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, such as flashbacks, hypervigilance, difficulty concentrating, and attempts to numb or minimize the incident, are common in youth who survive a punishment attack.
According Hamill's research, desire to escape fear and the feeling of powerlessness can contribute to problems with alcoholism and drug abuse.
More than one third of her subjects suffered from extended bouts of depression following attacks and 22% said that they had attempted suicide.
Mallon analyzed the 402 suicides in Northern Ireland between 2007 and 2009 and identified nineteen cases in which young men had killed themselves after being threatened with punishment attacks for alleged criminal or anti-social behaviour.
More Northern Ireland residents have died by suicide since the peace agreement than were killed during the conflict itself, although there is insufficient evidence for a direct link between the conflict and suicide.
In 2002, the National Health Service estimated that it spent at least £1.5m annually on treating the victims of punishment attacks.
Depending on the time period under consideration, the per-patient cost of treating victims who have been physically attacked varies from £2,855 (2012–2013) to £6,017 (pre-1994) in 2015 pounds.
Police received reports of 6,106 punishment attacks between 1973 and 2015, of which 3,113 incidents were attributed to loyalists and 2,993 to republicans.
There have been additional deaths since then, such as multiple murders claimed by Republican Action Against Drugs and the killing of Michael McGibbon in 2016.
Pressure group Families Against Intimidation and Terror claims that it is a 30–50% underestimate, while according to Sharon Mallon, underreporting makes accurate measurement of these attacks impossible.
About three-quarters of attacks take place between 16:00 and midnight; the majority begin in the victim's residence (often they are abducted and taken elsewhere for the main attack).
In 2018, Community Restorative Justice Ireland estimated that each year there are 250-300 threats, significantly higher than the number reported to PSNI.
Between July 2018 and June 2019, 81 punishment attacks were reported to the police, on average more than one every four days.
According to research by Heather Hamill, this is because prestige in this subculture is based on costly signals of toughness and individuals are able to attain even higher prestige when they show that they are undeterred by punishment attacks.
For example, in 1998 the IRA attacked both Kevin McQuillan, a leader in the rival Irish Republican Socialist Party, and Michael Donnelly, chairman of Republican Sinn Féin in Derry.
One reason for the resurgence of dissident republicans after the IRA's disbanding in 2005 was that previously, the organization had been conducting campaigns of social ostracism, intimidation, kidnapping, and assassination against dissident republicans.
One Presbyterian minister, David J. Templeton, was caught with homosexual pornography and died after a beating by the UVF in 1997.
In 1990, Nancy Gracey set up the organization Families Against Intimidation and Terror to oppose punishment attacks after her grandson was killed in one.
Historian Liam Kennedy has campaigned against the attacks, which he considers a form of child abuse, considering that many victims are minors and some younger than 14.
The sixth of the Mitchell Principles, which paramilitary groups agreed to abide by in 1998, explicitly forbids extrajudicial punishment and requires that signatories put an end to the practice.
The United States was reluctant to threaten the success of the peace process due to punishment attacks, because it considered that these did not fit the conventional definition of terrorism.
Loyalist paramilitaries UDA, UFF, and LVF were re-listed as terrorist organizations in October 2001 after they were found to be involved in punishment attacks.
The authorities have been unable or unwilling to prosecute the perpetrators of the attacks, because attackers usually wear masks and even if aware of their identity, many victims are reluctant to identify them for fear of retaliation.
Of 317 punishment attacks reported to the PSNI between 2013 and 2017, only 10 cases resulted in charges or a court summons.
According to research by Andrew Silke and Max Taylor on punishment attacks between July 1994 and December 1996, loyalists were convicted at a four times higher rate than republican attackers for their participation in attacks.
According to Human Rights Watch, Common Article 3 of the 1949 Geneva Convention, which lays down rules for internal armed conflicts, applies to the Northern Ireland conflict.
These interventions have included verifying if an individual is under sentence of expulsion, helping such individuals relocate elsewhere, and eventually reintegrating them into the community.
Sinn Féin supported restorative justice, which was endorsed by the IRA in 1999; the organization also asked locals to stop requesting punishment attacks.
Loyalist neighbourhoods have also seen community restorative justice approaches, organized by Northern Ireland Alternatives, which originated in the greater Shankill area and worked closely with the police from the beginning, despite scepticism from law enforcement.
Proponents of restorative justice argue that they are the only way to end paramilitary violence and are a legitimate form of legal pluralism.
According to a study by Atlantic Philanthropies, Alternatives prevented 71% of punishment attacks by loyalists and CRJI prevented 81% of attacks by republicans.
Critics argue that the restorative justice approach legitimizes the role of paramilitaries in informal justice and allows them to retain the threat of violent attacks if they are not satisfied with the result.
In 2006, the eighth report of the International Monitoring Commission described participation in restorative justice as one means by which paramilitaries attempted to maintain their role and exert influence.
Of these, one is listed at Grade I, the highest of the three grades, three are at Grade II*, the middle grade, and the others are at Grade II, the lowest grade.
Most of the listed buildings are houses and associated structures, cottages, and farmhouses, that are built in limestone with tile roofs.
The other listed buildings include a church and items in the churchyard, bridges, a public house, mileposts, a former watermill, and structures in the grounds of the former Beresford Hall.
Cursa de la Mercè (Mercè Race) is a public athletic race with free registration that is held annually in the streets of Barcelona since 1979.
The race is held on the morning of Sunday of the second half of September, forming part of the events of the Fiestas de la Mercè.
Its current route runs through the most central streets of Barcelona, with exit and arrival to Avenida de Maria Cristina, between the Plaza España and the Montjuïc mountain.
The D.C.–Dulles Line, designated Route 5A, is a bus route operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority between Washington Dulles International Airport and the L'Enfant Plaza Metro Station of the Blue, Yellow, Orange, Green, and Silver lines of the Washington Metro.
The line operates every 30-35 minutes on weekdays, and 60 minutes on weekends along the Dulles Toll Road, Interstate 66, Richmond Highway, and Interstate 395 between these two locations with no intermediate stops, with the exception of the Herndon–Monroe Park and Ride and Rosslyn station.
Service operates every 30 to 35 minutes between L'Enfant Plaza station and Washington Dulles International Airport on weekdays, and 60 minutes on weekends.
WMATA uses some 2006 Orion VII CNG (07.501) suburbans numbered 2701-2730 to operate on the route based out of Four Mile Run Division.
However, other buses can be used on the route if the Orion VII CNGs are running on other routes or going under maintenance.
As the Silver Line of the Washington Metro is expected to open at Dulles International Airport station between 2020 and 2021, the route uses regular transit buses.
The line is unique for being the only WMATA bus line that runs to Loudoun County, and has a connection with any Virginia non-commuter services, and is responsible for providing a regular link between the two services.
The original $1.10 one-way fare was seen as a bargain compared with other transportation modes in the area, including Shenandoah Valley Commuter Bus.
The Silver Line will bring riders access via train to serve in Maryland, Washington D.C., and the northeastern portion of Virginia.
The Washington Dulles International Airport is expected to serve on its own train station, as the station is part of Phase 2 of the Silver Line.
The station was originally planned to be underground, but the plans call for an above-ground station, which will be located next to daily parking garage 1 of the airport.
The station will be connected to the terminal building using the existing pedestrian tunnel which connects the hourly and daily parking lots and parking garage 1 to the baggage claim level of the airport terminal, and which is equipped with moving sidewalks.

Lui Shou-Kwan ( (Lü Shoukun); 1919–1975) was a Chinese painter, one of the most prominent ink painters of the 20th century and a founder of the Hong Kong New Ink Movement.
He taught ink painting at the University of Hong Kong's Department of Architecture, and also taught at the Chinese University's Department of Extra-Mural Studies in 1966.
Lui was one of those attempting to bring Western modernism into Chinese art, making note of how artists like Franz Kline and Robert Motherwell were inspired by Asian calligraphy.
The 2019 Women's LEN Super Cup was the 14th edition of the annual trophy organised by LEN and contested by the reigning champions of the two European competitions for women's water polo clubs.
The match was played between CN Sabadell (2018–19 Euro League champions) and Orizzonte Catania (winners of the 2018–19 LEN Trophy) at the Centre Can Llong in Sabadell, Spain, on 26 November 2019.

After unsuccessfully running for the Florida Senate in 2006, Jennings was appointed as the Regional Director for the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Jennings was born in Gainesville and attended the University of Florida, where he served as the president of Florida Blue Key and the Black Student Union.
Jennings graduated in 1993 with a bachelor's degree in political science, and helped his father, Edward Jennings, Sr., get elected to the Gainesville City Commission that year.
Following incumbent State Representative Cynthia M. Chestnut's inability to seek re-election, Jennings ran to succeed her in the 23rd District, which stretched from Gainesville to Ocala.
He faced Harvey Budd, a former Alachua County Charter Review Commissioner and a member of the Gainesville Plan Board, in the Democratic primary.
Budd attacked Jennings for working as a real estate developer and for taking contributions from developers, but Jennings argued that he was an environmentally conscientious developer and had relevant experience.
In the general election, Jennings faced Dick Williams, a registered Democrat running as a No Party Affiliation candidate who served as the president of the local chapter of the AARP.
Jennings continued to campaign on his proposal to reduce poverty by making investments in the area's infrastructure, and noted that his development company had built low-cost housing units in the eastern part of the district.
Jennings beat Williams by a wide margin, receiving 76% of the vote to Williams's 24%, and won his first term in the House.
He was opposed by Libertarian Brooks Nelson, a chemical analyst and the son of Dunedin Mayor Janet Henderson, who raised no money and didn't extensively campaign for the seat.
Jennings and Nelson strongly disagreed on the issues, with Jennings staking out positions in support of affirmative action and protecting the state's social safety net and Nelson arguing against affirmative action and for broad tax cuts to shrink the size of government.
In 2006, rather than run for a fourth term to the State House, Jennings announced that he would run for the State Senate, seeking to replace incumbent Senator Rod Smith, who was retiring to run for Governor.
Jennings campaigned on his experience and pro-family record in the legislature, his plan to provide health insurance to the uninsured through a private-public partnership, and his opposition to abortion restrictions.
Jennings carried Alachua County and Marion County by wide margins, narrowly won Columbia County and Putnam County, while narrowly losing the remaining rural counties to McGriff.
In 2010, Jennings was appointed to serve as the Regional Director of Region IV at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, overseeing Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
While serving at HUD, Jennings was named as a defendant brought by a bank over an unpaid loan, and reached a confidential settlement.
The next year, Jennings came under fire for failing to adequately inspect an apartment complex and for unsanitary conditions experienced by a tenant at one of his properties.
The Rayner orogeny was a mountain building that thickened the early continental crust (the cratonic nucleus) of what is now East Antarctica 3.5 billion years ago.
Rocks preserving the orogeny are found in the rough vicinity of the Scott Mountains between Enderby Land in the north and Kemp Land in the south.
The Emeryville mudflat sculptures were a series of found object structures along the San Francisco Bay shoreline of Emeryville, California, largely constructed from discarded materials found on-site such as driftwood.
The mudflat sculptures were first erected in 1962 and received national attention by 1964; through the 1960s and 70s, anonymous, usually amateur artists would construct sculptures visible to traffic at the eastern end of the Bay Bridge.
With the creation of the Emeryville Crescent State Marine Reserve in 1985 and increased attention to ecosystem preservation, the last mudflat sculptures were removed in 1997.
The Emeryville mudflats are officially known as the Emeryville Crescent, lying west of the Eastshore Freeway (I-80), south of the Emeryville Peninsula, and north of the Bay Bridge toll plaza mole.
The Emeryville Crescent is a northern coastal salt marsh which supports cordgrass, pickleweed, eelgrass, and saltgrass; the endangered Ridgway's rail is known to reside in the Crescent.
During the early 20th century, debris from San Francisco Bay would frequently wash ashore at the mudflats, and industries based in Emeryville would often dump trash at the mudflats as well.
The uplands were created by filling existing marshlands with rubble from building demolition, steel mill slag, industrial waste, sand, and clay to a depth ranging from .
The genesis for the mudflat sculptures was an art class led by Professor Everett Turner at the California College of Arts and Crafts (CCAC) in 1960; as a collective project, the students built a large sculpture on nearby Bay Farm Island that summer.
The Bay Farm Island project was documented in photographs by Penny Dhaemers; when the photographs were shown at the Oakland campus of CCAC, they inspired student John McCracken to build his own sculptures in 1962 on the Emeryville mudflats.
The mudflats had been used for duck hunting, and Anne Herbert speculated the first mudflat sculptures may have been inspired by hunting blinds.
In general, the sculptures were created by anonymous artists, characterized by their impermanence, and intended to be seen by freeway drivers.
An urban scarecrow competition was held for the 1985 San Francisco County Fair; the winner was to be moved to the Emeryville mudflats.
In 1977, the California Arts Council awarded a $4,393 grant to Richard Reynolds to purchase film for a documentary on the mudflat sculptures, which was published in 1980.
Development of the Emeryville Peninsula had been grandfathered by the city, whose planning commission had adopted the General Plan and approved permits just days before the McAteer-Petris Act of 1965 passed.
However, further development of the Emeryville Peninsula was halted by the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), created by McAteer-Petris to review construction projects that would reclaim land from the Bay.
In the early 1970s, the General Plan was revised to allow the Santa Fe Railroad to develop of bayfront land north of the Emeryville Peninsula; in exchange, the Emeryville Crescent would be turned over to the city as open space.
Santa Fe planned to bypass BCDC review by constructing on stilts rather than fill, but this loophole was not accepted by BCDC.
In May 1985, Santa Fe proposed to build two 18-story towers on new fill at the Crescent in exchange for turning over to the public.
At the first hearing to determine the scope of the environmental impact report/statement in August 1986, the deputy director of BCDC suggested the commission would not support Santa Fe's proposal.
Despite a petition with more than half the residents of Emeryville opposing the development, the City Council took no action to bar development on the Crescent.
The Watergate Apartments were completed on the Emeryville Peninsula in 1971, and the high-rise Pacific Park Plaza just east of the Peninsula was completed in 1984, doubling the population of Emeryville.
At this time, the city of Emeryville was aware of the mudflat sculptures and, along with BCDC, began to plan trails to afford better access to the site for artists, but the Golden Gate Audubon Society raised objections to those plans in 1978 and commissioned the Bodega Bay Institute to perform an environmental assessment of the Crescent.
In March 1980, Sylvia McLaughlin made the first presentation to the California State Parks Commission, proposing that a state park be created along the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, from the Emeryville Crescent to the Hoffman Marsh.
By 1987, the snarl of driftwood was home to rats and feral cats, who were preying on the numerous species of shorebirds native to the Crescent.
Other factors in the decline cited include the reconstruction of the freeway after the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989, which reduced the visibility of the mudflats from traffic; vandalism and destruction of existing sculptures without reconstruction; the prevailing conservative political culture under the Reagan administration; and the creation of McLaughlin Eastshore State Park, encompassing the mudflats.
The site's owner, Catellus Development Corporation, remediated the site's industrial contamination, and turned it over to the California Department of Parks and Recreation, where it joined Eastshore State Park, which is managed by the East Bay Regional Park District.
The Emeryville mudflat sculptures inspired a similar set of structures that were erected from the early 1970s to 1986 near Humboldt Bay, approximately north of San Francisco.
Similar contemporary found art shoreline galleries went up around the San Francisco Bay Area, including the toll bridge plaza of the San Mateo–Hayward Bridge, the Bayshore Freeway interchange in Larkspur, in Redwood City, at the Albany Bulb, and in Rodeo.
In 2018, Ned Kahn and Pete Beeman were selected as finalists for artworks at the Emeryville Marina; like the earlier mudflat sculptures, the installations are intended to be visible from the eastern approach to the Bay Bridge.

The New Hampshire Avenue–Maryland Limited Line, designated Route K9, is a limited-stop/express Metrobus route operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority between the Fort Totten station of the Red & Green lines of the Washington Metro and White Oak FDA/FRC Building during weekday rush hour/peak period commuter times.
K9 was introduced as a brand new MetroExtra route, on December 30, 2012, at the request of Prince George's County, MD, Montgomery County, MD, & the City of Takoma Park, MD, to operate as a limited stop/express Route during weekday rush hour/peak period commuter times, parallel to route K6 on the New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650) corridor.
K9 was created to essentially relieve overcrowding problems on the K6 during weekday rush hour/peak period commuter times and provide a much faster ride between the Fort Totten Metro Station & Northwest Park Apartments.
While K6 would operate all the way between the Fort Totten Metro Station & White Oak Shopping Center, K9 would only operate between the Fort Totten Metro Station & Northwest Park Apartments.
On March 30, 2014, the K9 Metrobus Route was extended north of its original terminus at the Northwest Park Apartments, to the White Oak FDA/FRC Building.
K9 also went through a minor rerouting change during this time to no longer divert off of New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650) onto the intersections of Southampton Drive/Northampton Drive, to directly enter into/serve the Northwest Park Apartments.
K9 was instead rerouted to instead remain straight on New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650) and only serve the Northwest Park Apartments at adjacent Metrobus Stops on New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650).
On December 22, 2016, K9 went through a minor rerouting change alongside the K6 Metrobus Route, to divert off of New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650) onto the intersections of University Boulevard East (MD 193) & Lebanon Street, to serve the newly opened Takoma-Langley Crossroads Transit Center.
As a result of this route change, the former Metrobus Stops at both the intersections of New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650) & Lebanon Street and New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650) & University Boulevard East (MD 193) were removed.

It continued to serve the inhabitants of the area near Llanelli between 1909 and 1953 and was one of several basic halts opened on the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway in Carmarthenshire, Wales ().
The station was opened as Burry Port in 1898 but regular passenger services began on 02 August 1909 by the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway on the Kidwelly and Burry Port section of the line and was closed by the British Transport Commission in 1953 with the last passenger train running on Saturday 19 September 1953.
It was on the southern section of the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway with Pembrey to the north and Burry Port as the termuinus of the passenger line.
The line had been built on the course of an old canal with resulting tight curves, low bridge clearance and a tendency to flooding.
The freight service continued for coal traffic on the Cwmmawr branch to Kidwelly until 1996 by which time the last of the local collieries had closed down and the washery closure followed.
The station had a single short platform, a brick built toilet block and a substantial corrugated iron ticket office and waiting room with a canopy on the northern side of the single line.
The Kidwelly route was used for coal trains, resulting in the lifting of track between Trimsaran Road and Burry Port by 2005.
Burry Port railway station on the West Wales line stood close to the site of the old Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway.
The section of the old line between Burry Port and Craiglon Bridge Halt is now a footpath and the NCN 4 cyclepath.

The Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate (DECR) (; until August 2000: Department for External Church Relations, ) is one of the synodal institutions of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Initially, the department had a small staff; along with Metropolitan Nickolas, the first employee of the department was (clerk since May 1946).
This situation is unique in the whole history of the church throughout the world: the key role in the activities of the Church belonged to the department of external relations, which normally should occupy the most modest place.
In the second half of the 1940s, the Department was allocated colossal funds to carry out numerous contacts with the Middle Eastern patriarchates and churches of Europe, including non-Eastern-Orthodox (for example, Anglican).
In accordance with the decision of the Holy Synod of 16 March 1961, the head of the department should always be in the episcopal dignity and a permanent member of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church.
The newsletter gave information on international church contacts, the most significant events concerning the Russian Orthodox Church and other local and non-Eastern-Orthodox churches, as well as reviews of articles published in foreign church periodicals, etc.

Dioceses, , metochions, monasteries and stavropegic parishes far abroad, which were previously under the authority of the DECR, were directly subordinated to the Patriarch of Moscow of All Russia; to manage them, the Moscow Patriarchate's Secretariat for Institutions Abroad was created.
In 2011, on the occasion of its 65th anniversary, with funds allocated by the Saint Gregory the Theologian's Charity Foundation, the DECR facade was decorated with a mosaic image of the Blessed Virgin Mary with a omophorion in her hands.
On April 6, 2016, with the blessing of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, the award of the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate was established: the medal of St. Mark of Ephesus.
The status and functions of the department are determined by the Charter of the Russian Orthodox Church adopted by the Bishops' Council of the Russian Orthodox Church in 2000, in particular chapter VIII, and the charter of the department, approved by the Holy Synod in 1992 and amended in 1999 and 2001.

The Selected Works of Mao Tse-Tung (), is a five volume collection of the written works of Mao Zedong ranging from the years 1926-1957.
The collection was first published by the People's Publishing House in 1951, and was later translated into English by the state-owned Foreign Languages Press.
A fifth volume, which included the works of Chairman Mao from 1949-1957, was released during the leadership of Hua Guofeng, but subsequently withdrawn from circulation for its perceived ideological errors.
A number of unauthorized volumes of the Selected Works of Mao Tse-Tung have been released, such as Volumes 6-9 which were published in India by the Communist Party of India (Maoist).
During the ten years of the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), the People's Publishing House published 870 different editions of Selected Works of Mao Tse-Tung (Volumes 1-4), with a total of 325 million paperbacks and 2.55 million hardcover copies of the Chinese editions created.
After the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Mao Zedong Thought became part of the guiding ideology of the Communist Party of China.
In May 1950, the Politburo of the Communist Party of China formally decided to establish the Mao Zedong Anthology Editorial Committee, with Liu Shaoqi as its director.
The specific editing work was led by Chen Boda , assisted by Hu Qiaomu and Tian Jiaying, and all compiled manuscripts were revised and authorized for publication by Mao Zedong himself.
The five officially published volumes of the Selected Works include most of the important works by Mao Zedong between the years 1926 to 1949.
The second volume begins with the philisophical work by Mao, On Contradiction and contains writings from the years 1937 to 1938 related to the war against Japan.
Selections discussing military strategy against both the Japanese and the Kuomintang are the subject of the third volume of the selected works, which contains selections from writings released between the years 1939 and 1940.
The fourth volume covers the writings of Mao from the years 1941 to 1945, continuing the discussion of Chinese resistance to the Japanese.
The fifth and final official publication is a selection of writings from the years 1945 to 1949 related to the final years of the Chinese civil war and the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The first volume of the Selected Works included a total of 17 articles ranging from 1925 until the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
The second volume of the Selected Works included a total of 40 articles by Mao Zedong in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
It was formally published and distributed by the People's Publishing House on April 10, 1952, with a price of 25,000 yuan.
The third volume of the Selected Works included 31 articles by Mao Zedong in the late period of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
The fourth volume of the Selected Works included a total of 70 articles by Mao Zedong after the Second Sino-Japanese War and before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
After the publication, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China set up a translation room for Mao Zedong's works, which translated the Selected Works four volumes into a variety of foreign languages for publication.
Since then, the translation room has gradually developed into the Document Translation Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party .
A fifth book was planned as early as 1960, to include selected writings from the PRC period, but Chairman Mao resisted its production as he felt his essays and speeches on Socialist Construction (1949-1957) were still evolving compared to the views contained in the earlier volumes.
The fifth volume of the Selected Works included 70 articles by Mao Zedong after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The compilation and editing of this volume took ten years due to the Cultural Revolution and Mao Zedong's opposition to the publication of a fifth volume of his works.
A number of unofficial volumes of the Selected Works of Mao Tse-Tung, specifically Volumes 6-9 were published in India by Karanti Publications, Secunderabad, and Sramikavarga Prachuranalu, Hyderabad.

The Blueberry mosaic associated ophiovirus (B1MaV) is a plant virus which infects blueberry plants, causing a discoloration of the leaves of the plants in a mosaic-like pattern.
The disease is found in blueberry plants in many regions of North America, as well as South America, Europe, New Zealand, and South Africa.
It also has a non-enveloped protein capsid that is capable of coiling around itself allowing for a super-coiled structure and the helical symmetry.
The virus has the potential to be symptomatic or asymptomatic within plants causing the display of symptoms in only a few plants, but the ability to transmit the virus unknowingly in many plants.
When a plant is initially infected with the virus the plant will often display a symptom-free period, meaning there is long latent period between viral infection and symptom appearance.
The virus can also become dormant in some areas of the plant and expressed in others, causing some leaves to display symptoms and others to be asymptomatic.
When a blueberry plant begins to show symptoms of infection by B1MaV a mild to severe mottle and mosaic patterns on foliage appears.
The infection also causes late ripening of fruit, reduced yield of the crop, and poor quality of the berries, as the virus spreads throughout the plant and begins affecting cellular mechanisms.
The virus does not kill the plant, however, rather it just affects the quality and quantity of fruit produced by the plant.
It is a naked filamentous nucleocapsid that can form circles making the open form of the virus or can form a pseudo-linear duplex form that forms the collapsed form of the virus.
The nucleocapsid is 3 nm in diameter and 700 to 2000 nm long, pseudo-linear duplex are about 9-10 nm in diameter.
The genome is a linear segmented genome that is 11,467 nucleotides long and is composed of three negative single strand RNA sequences.
The proteins encoded include a 23 kDa protein that has an unknown function and a 272 kDa RdRp (RNA-dependent RNA polymerase) replicase.
RNA 2 encodes for a 58 kDa movement protein that is thought to also be involved in the suppression of post transcriptional gene silencing.
The 5’ terminal sequences are not conserved between RNA transmissions, but all of the 5’ termini fold into conserved stem-loop structures.
These structures are likely involved in packaging of the genomic RNAs into their capsid or in long-distance interactions for transcription and translation.
The movement proteins that the virus encodes in RNA 2, often effect cellular mechanisms for transport to distant tissues in the plant.
There are several proteins produced by the viral mRNA in transcription and translation that affect the host cells processes, making a more suitable environment for viral replication and transcription.
It also is involved in suppression in post translational gene silencing of cellular genes, therefore preventing the silencing of some cellular genes causing consequent expression and the effects of these expressed genes.
The virus is transmissible via grafting, meaning that when an infected plant is joined with a noninfected plant to promote continued growth of the plant, the infected plant spreads the virus to the once noninfected plant.
The virus can further spread to new growing areas accidentally by plant nurseries since blueberries are reproduced asexually and asymptomatic blueberry plants may be used.
Since the viral genome is three segmented negative RNA strands, there is the possibility for re-assortment of genetic segments between B1MaV and other segmented viruses infecting the same plant, leading to possible further transmission of the virus by other means.
Some characteristic symptoms of the disease include bark scaling in the trunk and main branches of an adult plant as well as internal staining in the underlying wood.
The main cytopathic changes of the infected cells are the presence of a large number of abnormal chloroplasts, as well as mitochondria and cellular abnormalities.
Just as in B1MaV, CpsV is graft transmissible and also appears to remain asymptomatic for the first several years of infection.
As with B1MaV, the lettuce ring necrosis virus spreads via soil transmission through fungal zoospores, and the symptoms in the plant often do not appear for several weeks to months after infection.

Esther 8 is the eighth chapter of the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, The author of the book is unknown and modern scholars have established that the final stage of the Hebrew text would have been formed by the second century BCE.
This chapter contains the effort to deal with the irreversible decree against the Jews now that Haman is dead and Mordecai is elevated to the position of prime minister.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes Codex Leningradensis (1008).
Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; formula_1; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: formula_1; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; formula_1; 5th century).
The death of Haman does not change the fact that the irreversible decree to destroy the Jews, written in the king's name and sealed with his ring (), still stands.
The second part of verse 2 displays a shift of the focus to Esther, as she is now the one who makes decisions.
The change of tone of Esther's petition before the king indicates her awareness that the gift of Haman's house to her and the signet ring to Mordecai won't do any good after the thirteenth of Adar as long as the decree to annihilate the Jews still stands.
Esther used the same two terms — 'people' and 'kindred' as she reversed the act of concealing her identity previously in , when she entered the harem.
The narrative starts with an elaborate description of the system to dispatch the letters conveying the solutions (verses 9–10), then of the content which reveals Mordecai's ingenious ploy: a second decree without contradicting the first one but effectively annulling it by authorizing the Jews to defend themselves against those executing the first decree (verse 11).
Both Jews and non-Jews throughout the empire saw the second decree as a bloodless victory for the Jewish cause and the Jews were clearly perceived to have the upper hand that many non-Jews spontaneously converted to Judaism (verse 17).

Bab Guissa (sometimes spelled Bab Gisa) is the main northwestern gate of Fes el Bali, the old walled city of Fes, Morocco.
Both brothers were likely responsible for building those gates, and so Bab Guissa was likely built around 1059-61, when the thes two emirs were in power.
Soon after, the two cities were definitively joined into a single city with a single set of walls by the Almoravids, who conquered the city in 1069.
These were destroyed in 1145 by the Almohad conqueror Abd al-Mu'min and then rebuilt by one of his successors, Muhammad al-Nasir, in 1212.
The current gate is believed to date essentially from Muhammad al-Nasir's construction, making it one of the oldest preserved gates in the city along with Bab Mahrouk (also from the same period).
Nonetheless, after the Almohads, the gate was restored by the Marinid sultan Abu Yusuf Ya'qub in the 13th century and was repaired or rebuilt in the 18th century after the destruction of the 1755 earthquake.
The original monumental gate, still standing, has a bent entrance; its internal passage turns 90 degrees as it enters the city.
An opening has since been created besides the gate to allow more direct passage, most likely in the early 20th century.
The modest decoration on the original gate, made of stucco or plaster and likely dating from restorations, consists blind arches along the inner passage and the outline of a blind polylobed arch on the outer facade inside a rectangular, slightly canopied, frame.
The area of Bab Guissa was historically known for a bird market as well as for the pulbic performances of popular storytellers.
Just inside the gate is the Bab Guissa Mosque and its adjoining madrasa, one of the important historic religious institutions of the city.
Like with the other main gates of the old city (Bab Ftouh and Bab Mahrouk), a large cemetery stretches outside the city walls near the gate, known as the Bab Guissa Cemetery.
Though not quite as extensive as the other two, the cemetery is also overlooked by the Marinid Tombs, a ruined Marinid royal necropolis from the 14th century.

Arlette Nougarède, wife Lance, born in 1930 in Narbonne, is a cell biologist specializing in plant development from embryogenesis to flowering.
After her graduate studies in Paris, she obtained, at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS, 1952), a DES, prepared under the direction of Professor Roger Buvat.
Pilet (Switzerland), C. Sterling (USA), S. Tepfer (USA), D. Francis (England), N. Bagni (Italy), who have come for collaborative work or to adapt to their equipment the new technologies developed in the team.
After her retirement, Arlette Nougarède continues her activities in the laboratory of Professor Dominique Chriqui (proofreading of theses, critical review of articles, participation in various juries and commissions, including the Neology and Terminology Commission of the French Academy of sciences).
Arlette Nougarède's research focuses on the primary meristems of higher plants (structural and ultrastructural cytology; cytochemistry, DNA, RNA, proteins; functioning, cell cycle).
After simple mitosis surveys for the vegetative point of Bean, quantitative methods are gradually being used to estimate mean cell, nuclear, nucleolar volumes and to evaluate mitotic and labelling indices, after incorporation, by the meristem, of tritiated precursors of DNA and RNA synthesis.
For vegetative caulinary meristem, the notion of 3-component zonation is defended (axial apical zone, reserved territory, lateral leaf initiating zone, medullary meristem giving the pith), defined on cytological and functional criteria.
The total duration of the cell cycle, in hours, and that of its phases (G1,S,G2,M) show that the axial apical zone has the longest cycle, the lateral zone the shortest cycle and the medullary meristem a cycle of intermediate duration.
In this cycle, the duration of mitosis, M, is not very variable, depending on the zone, and the same is true for synthesis, S, and postsynthesis, G2.
Only the presynthesis phase G1, by its lengthening in the axial zone, its shortening in the lateral zone and, to a lesser degree, in the medullary meristem, ensures the control of proliferation in the vegetative meristem.
There is evidence that the meristem of preferred or strict photoperiodic plants, constantly subjected to light conditions unfavourable to their flowering, evolves towards a new phase: the intermediate phase which is a preparation for flowering for preferred plants with increased yield, an ontogenic dead end for strict plants if favourable light conditions are not received.
The following pre-flowering phase is characterized by the reactivation of the axial apical zone, the cessation of foliar initiation and the rapid differentiation of the cells of the medullary meristem.
The quantitative and/or qualitative changes in polypeptides and the time at which they occur are specified for each of the phases of development and during initiation of the floral organs.
The cell cycle is stopped at G1 in the meristem of dormant buds, in that of the embryo contained in the seed or in the cotyledonary bud of the fully inhibited Pea.
Arlette Nougarède shows, on the Pea model, that there is an increasing gradient of inhibition from the buds located in the axils of the youngest leaves to the cotyledonal bud; the events related to the reactivation of the buds are examined.
The very first data on the mechanism of the geotropic reaction are acquired - after experiments on starch lysis of statenchyma amyloplasts and - microsurgery of the cuff and meristem.
It has been proven that the cap amyloplasts are the geoperceptors and that the curvature of the root, placed in a horizontal position, is achieved in the zone of maximum elongation by growth asymmetry on both sides of the root under the control of an inhibitor from the cap.
Arlette Nougarède and her team identify, in the whole plant, regions of constant localization, differentiated into G1 and which possess organogenic capacities that neighbouring cells, which have become polyploid, have lost.
In the 20th century, histocytology and ontogenic examination made it possible to understand how plant meristems regularly form cells that differentiate into organ building tissues.
In the 21st century, molecular biology and mutants are bringing new ideas that will be able to solve still unanswered problems.

She received media attention when she became the first female match official at a top-division men's match in Scotland in 2014.
Raised in Baillieston, Cockburn had ambitions to be a football player when young, and was involved in the Scotland women's national football team at youth level while playing in the Scottish Women's Premier League including a spell at Hibernian.
Having officiated at women's domestic matches, and in the early stages of the UEFA Women's Champions League from 2012, her appointments in the men's Scottish Professional Football League lower divisions commenced at the start of the 2013–14 season.
By the end of that campaign, her performances were considered good enough for her to run the line in a Scottish Premiership fixture between Hearts and St Mirren, making history as the first female official to be involved in a men's top-tier match in Scotland (Morag Pirie had set several other milestones during the previous decade).
At that time, Cockburn was still appointed to minor leagues such as in the Juniors, but over the subsequent years took part in an increasing number of top level league matches in Scotland as well as relegation playoffs, in the later stages of the Women's Champions League, and FIFA Women's World Cup qualification and UEFA Women's Championship qualification matches at international level.
She was among the assistants selected for the 2016 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship in Slovakia, 2016 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Jordan and the 2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Uruguay, and in December 2018 was selected for the upcoming 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France the following June, the only Scottish official to be involved.

The county, and particularly Phenix City, had become lawless and Persons lost faith in the local law enforcement who had been implicated in illegal gambling syndicates, political corruption and the murder of Albert Patterson, the Democratic Party's nominee for Attorney General of Alabama.
Under the martial law proclamation, the city police department and county sheriff's office stood down and their duties were assumed by the Alabama National Guard.
The national guard, under Major General Walter J. Hanna, took steps to disarm the citizenry, close down gambling establishments and businesses serving alcohol.
After an investigation by the state's acting Attorney General, Russell County's chief deputy sheriff was convicted for the murder of Patterson.
Phenix City had for decades been reliant upon brothels, liquor shops and gambling houses which catered to the nearby Fort Benning.
1954 saw elections for the Attorney General of Alabama and Phenix City resident and lawyer Albert Patterson ran a campaign for the Democratic Party nomination on a platform of ridding the city of crime.
Despite voting irregularities, he won the primary election but was assassinated by shooting shortly afterwards on June 18, 1954, near his offices in Phenix City.
Patterson's murder caused unrest in Phenix with the Citizen's Betterment Association informing governor Gordon Persons that the city was on the verge of anarchy.
Persons immediately ordered the state-controlled Alabama Highway Patrol into the city and requested federal assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation on the reasoning that the murderer could have crossed state lines into Georgia.
Persons also ordered Major General Walter J. Hanna, Adjutant General of the Alabama National Guard, to the city to assess whether troops were needed to keep the peace.
Hanna arrived in Phenix City in the early morning of June 19 with command over a number of local troops and those brought from elsewhere in the state.
In theory there to assist the local law enforcement, he soon came to distrust them and suspect their involvement in illegal activities.
Hanna issued orders that all gambling was to cease and two days later led a force of state highway patrolmen and national guard on raids that seized almost 100 illegal gambling devices.
This unit determined that city police and county deputies were watching the guard's movements and tipping off gangsters as to the raids.
We uncovered 28 murders that had taken place in the previous four years, without even an indictment, much less a conviction.
On July 22, 1954, after liaising with President Dwight D Eisenhower and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, the governor proclaimed limited martial law in the city, allowing the national guard to take over law enforcement duties in Russell County.
Press reported that the national guard, armed with machine guns, shotguns and carbines, entered the sheriff's office and police department to disarm local law enforcement and confiscate their badges.
Hanna voided all weapons permits and by July 23 the troops had confiscated 40 pistols and a submachine gun from the citizenry.
Also on July 23, guardsmen checked every beer and liquor licensed establishment in the city as they had been known to be frequently flouted.
Starting on July 24, Hanna ordered three days of raids on gambling establishments, gathering almost 500 indictments for a newly reformed grand jury.
Two weeks after the implementation of martial law, the mayor was jailed for neglecting his duties and the city was administered by a group of military personnel chosen by Hanna.
In November 1954, by which time order in the city had been restored, the first free elections in decades were held in Phenix City with armed guardsmen at each ballot box and supervising the count.
The investigation into Patterson's murder and other crimes in the city was carried out by Alabama's acting Attorney General Bernard Sykes Jr. with a staff of civilian investigators and attorneys; the Attorney General Si Garrett having checked into a mental hospital.
Under his direction, a grand jury issued more than 2,500 subpoenas and returned 759 indictments on more than 150 individuals, at that time a record for any grand jury in Alabama.
Russel County's chief deputy sheriff, Albert Fuller, the Phenix City circuit solicitor (now known as a district attorney) Walter Jones, and convalescing attorney general Garrett were indicted for Patterson's murder.
Fuller was found guilty and sentenced to a life term; Jones was acquitted and Garrett, who remained in hospital, was never brought to trial.
The incident was, at the time, the only instance of martial law being declared in a US city since the Reconstruction era that was not for reasons of civil unrest or natural disaster.
John Malcolm Patterson, the son of Albert, was elected Alabama's Attorney General in his father's stead in 1955 and held the post until 1959 when he became governor.
General Hanna directed a national guard officer, Major Hershel Finney, to write a history of the guard's activities in Phenix City.
The troops involved were under the command of Major General Walter J Hanna, Adjutant General of the Alabama National Guard and numbered around 500 personnel at any given time.
The troops were drawn mainly from the Alabama Army National Guard but some units of the Alabama Air National Guard were also used.
As part of the operation, Phenix City was declared off-limits to US Army personnel stationed at Fort Benning and additional military police were stationed on the 14th Street and Dillingham bridges to prevent a breach of this order.
The Phenix City Civil Disturbance Medal was awarded to civilian and military personnel for service during the period of June 18, 1954 to January 17, 1955 and was awarded to approximately 600 national guardsmen.

Toby S. James (born 1979), is a professor of political science and public policy at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom.
James is known for his work on the delivery and management of elections, but also on political leadership and the policy process.
James was awarded a Ph.D. from the University of York, and worked at the Library of Congress, University of Swansea, and Sydney University, before joining the University of East Anglia.
Writing about the history of reform in the UK, Ireland and the USA, he argued that politicians often try to reform how elections are run to maximise political interest, but this would depend on whether nature of the political system.
The book then provided a method for assessing the delivery of elections, a new method for identifying who was responsible for running elections and the ways in which running elections could be improved.
His work involved interviewing leaders such as Tony Blair, Nick Clegg and William Hague to assess the theory, which were serialised in British newspapers before the analysis was published in an academic journal.
He was the founding adviser to the UK All Party Parliamentary Group on Democratic Participation, which he worked to establish with Bite the Ballot.
James was co-author of the Missing Millions report in 2016 on voter registration which was influential in shaping government policy and debate about voter registration.
At the international level he was the co-founding co-convenor of the Electoral Management Network in 2016 which has brought together practitioners and academics from around the world in several high profile conferences.

The scientific consensus is that there is no relationship, causal or otherwise, between vaccines and incidence of autism, and vaccine ingredients do not cause autism.
Exley initially declared no conflict of interest despite being funded by CSMRI, but a formal correction was issued in November 2019.
Following the winding up of CSMRI, Exley also lost funding from the UK's research councils, and was blocked from raising funds via GoFundMe citing a policy against use of the platform for anti-vaccination activism.

Shinaakht (meaning Identification) is an Indian Hindi-language short film directed, written and produced by Pragyesh Singh under the banner of TNV Films.
The film is based on Circumcision which challenges Male genital mutilation (MGM) and Female genital mutilation (FGM) as per Islamic Law.

The story of the film shows a close relationship between a father named Liaqat Ali (Shishir Sharma) and his two kids named Idrish (son, played by Arfi Lamba) and Sofiya (daughter, played by Stefy Patel).
On attaining Adult age, Idrish (Arfi Lamba) and Sofiya (Stefy Patel) filed a case against their father, Liaqat Ali (Shishir Sharma), Maulvi Muhammad Basheer (Raju Kher) and Zarra Jumman Miyan, an illiterate, who performed circumcisions.

Liaqat realised that it was his fault when he faces the facts that circumcision was carried out in medically unhygienic conditions by an unprofessional person, which affected the kids seriously and they suffered from health issues.
Later, Liaqat learns that circumcision as identification of religion is nowhere mentioned in the holy book Quran and found that it isn't a mandatory practice as per the religion.

The person so initiated will then have intercourse with his or her spouse, and the purity acquired from the messianic leader will be transmitted to both the spouse and the progeny.
The practice is justified by a theology, popularized by the Unification movement but already present in previous Korean new religions, assuming that the original sin was in fact illicit sexual intercourse between Lucifer and Eve.
The initiated adept will thus be cleansed and in turn cleanse his or her spouse by creating a pure Adam-Eve relationship, while the original sexual relation between Adam and Eve was tainted by the sin Eve had committed with Lucifer.
Not surprisingly, the practice is extremely controversial, and few movements if any would open admit it is or was part of their rituals.
One author who believe this was the case is Finnish researcher, and critical ex-member of the Unification Church, Kirsti L. Nevalainen.
Other churches in this group included the Israel Monastery, founded by Kim Baek Moon, and the Wilderness Church, the latter possibly a name given by outsiders to a loosely organized network of devotees recognizing Ms Pak Wol-yong as the messiah.

The House Beauty Shop Committee (officially known as the House Select Committee on the Beauty Shop) was a special committee of the United States House of Representatives which existed from 1967 to 1979.
Griffiths, along with Edith Green (a Democrat from Oregon's 3rd district) and Catherine May (a Republican from Washington's 4th district), became the first members of the committee.
It was formed to oversee and modernize the operations of the House Beauty Shop, a beauty salon located in the Cannon House Office Building in the United States Capitol.
At the time of its establishment, the House Beauty Shop Committee was the smallest and least known of the House of Representatives' 57 committees.
The House Beauty Shop originated as a privately-owned and independently operated beauty salon located in the Longworth House Office Building, one of three main office buildings on the Capitol devoted to the House of Representatives.
Established in 1932 by beautician Mabel Solomon, it primarily served the women of Capitol Hill, including members of Congress, their wives, as well as Congressional staffers.
To address these concerns, then-House Speaker John W. McCormack ordered an investigation into the beauty shop, which was led by Griffiths and May.
McCormack then decided to form the House Beauty Shop Committee to investigate the situation further and provide recommendations on how to restore the beauty shop.
He named Griffiths, May, and Rep. Edith Green to the committee and provided $15,000 from the contingency fund as a bridge loan.
The House Beauty Shop Committee hired a new manager to run the shop, who in turn hired 18 beauticians and manicurists and relocated the shop from the Longworth building to the much larger Cannon Building.
Within a few years, the beauty shop had been revitalized; it repaid the $15,000 loan and was soon turning a profit.
It abolished the House Beauty Shop Committee, folding its responsibilities into the United States House Committee on House Administration; it also ensured that House Beauty Shop employees were treated like other House employees.
Under the new approach, the House of Representatives' Chief Administrative Officer awards a three-year renewable contract to a private contractor, who in turn pays the House monthly rent and manages the operations of the beauty shop.
Wetryk was the stage name of Antonio Pastacaldi (Livorno, 30 November 1890 – Livorno, 22 April 1936), a successful Italian practitioner of stage magic in the period between World War I and World War II.
A local tradition in Livorno claims that baby Antonio was also regarded as dead and placed in the open coffin together with the mother, until a cousin of his father realized he was alive.
After Emma’s death, his father married soprano Ida Nobili, whose friend, actor Alessandro Parrini, initiated Antonio to the art of magic.
At age 16, Antonio attended a show in Livorno by stage magician Cesare Watry, an Italian from Ravenna who achieved more success in Spain and Brazil than in his own native country.
Some regard Watry as Pastacaldi’s mentor, while Pastacaldi’s daughter insisted that his father was mostly self-taught and the influence of Watry was not crucial.
There, he developed a distinctive style of magic, presenting his shows in Louis XIV, Turkish, or Japanese settings, and performed in front of royalties and celebrities, acquiring great fame.
Not only was his wife independently wealthy, but his shows in Italy became very successful and he earned enough money to retire after his daughter Liliana was born in 1927.
In 1935, he started training for a return to the stage, but the project was frustrated by cancer, which killed him in 1936.
After Wetryk’s death, in 1943, his heirs sold his equipment to a mediocre magician called Melchiorre Zatelli, whose stage name was Armandis (Trento, 1906-?).
Although Pastacaldi’s family claimed that a condition for the sale was that Armandis should not use the name Wetryk on stage, he did exactly so, leading some audiences to believe that Wetryk had survived the war.

The GSK China scandal was an imbroglio where the China branch of the global drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) was found guilty of paying bribes to doctors and hospitals to promote the company's products in China.
The scandal started with sex tapes of the company's China head, Mark Reilly and his Chinese girlfriend at a Shanghai department, which were sent to several senior executives of the company.
The company's investigations into the sex tapes made the paid investigator Peter Humphrey and his wife Yu Yingzeng in jail in China due to their breach of privacy law.
With the bribery scandal made public by the Chinese police since June 2013, GSK had to admit its pervasive corruption in China.
After tried in Changsha in September 2014, the company apologized to the Chinese people, and paid one of the biggest fines in Chinese history worth ¥3bn (£300m; €350m; $490m).
The sequent US Securities and Exchange Commission investigation was settled by GSK with a $20 million civil penalty in 2016, yet the UK Serious Fraud Office failed to finish the expensive investigation which was officially ended in 2019.
Instead, the government cut the spendings as private sectors played a more and more important role in the system where the gap of the funding was closed by briberies paid by drug companies and patients to doctors and hospitals.
Since the 1980s, doctors in Chinese public hospitals had to over-prescribe drugs and make un-necessary diagnostic procedures and surgeries to make a living, which was known by most Chinese and deteriorated the relationship between the patients and doctors, leading to widespread dissatisfaction.
However, with the more fundings into the healthcare system, briberies became discouraged by the government, as it hoped to build a more competitive, above board and cost-effective healthcare system.
According to Leon Liu, partner with the Shanghai based law firm MWE China, Chinese citizens paid high prices for drugs partly due to corruption, which the government hoped to change.
Yet, GSK did not pay much attention to the shift in the China market and consistently ignored the warnings of the China bribery before the scandal.
Since December 2011, 24 anonymous tips from inside the GSK China were sent to Chinese regulators in 17-month time, which was not known to GSK high executives until April 2012.
Although the company promised to the US regulators that they would not allow improper marketing and kickbacks to doctors in July 2012 after a remarkable fine, it did not stop doing so in China.
GSK board received an email in January 2013 where how China's branch committed fraud in its operations was detailedly described in 5,200 words.
The whistleblower made examples by the drug Lamictal, which was approved in China only for treating epilepsy, but was marketed as a drug for bipolar disorder aggressively.
The drug killed a patient due to false marketing, but GSK chose to pay around 9,000 US dollars to silence the patient.
In 2012, Mike Reilly, Zhang Guowei () and Zhao Hongyan () of the company even founded a risk management unit to cope with the tips.
As confessed by a former GSK employee, he tried to flatter a Shanghai investigator with an iPad and a 1,200-dollar meal and Mark Reilly agreed him to bribe another Beijing official.
The email accused the company and Mark Reilly of using China Comfort Travel to bribe doctors and provide prostitutions to make sure of the business.
In April 2013, Mark Reilly, GSK's China head paid Peter Humphrey's ChinaWhys, a small risk consultancy which served Dell and Dow Chemical, to investigate into the break-in at his apartment and estimate the potential influence of the fired former employee, Vivian Shi, who was thought to be the whistleblower, in the government.
Humphrey managed to acquire the household registration record of Shi thorough a Chinese detective, which was considered illegal in Chinese laws.
On 6 June 2013, Humphrey submitted a report to GSK where he believed Shi to be the whistleblower without providing any further evidence but the emails and the sex tape.
The Chinese police denied that it was because of the internal conflicts and tips from inside the company that they launched the investigation.
According to Xinhua and the police report, the Chinese investigations started with an investigation into an unknown Shanghai travel agency in early 2013.
The Chinese police said that the travel agency had few products but its revenue rose from million to hundreds of millions RMB.
An investigation into the travel agency with help from other government offices identified its links to GSK and other pharmaceutical companies.
The task force gathered evidence for GSK's bribery in ten plus Chinese provinces including Beijing, Shanghai, Liaoning, Xinjiang in a year-long period.
On 27 June and 10 July 2013, the Changsha Police, with the help from Shanghai and Zhengzhou Police, carried out raids in multiple GSK offices and related travel agencies in Beijing, Shanghai, and Nanjing, acquiring files and laptops and interrogating employees.
Besides, AstraZeneca, UCB and other pharmaceutical companies' employees were also questioned by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce and the police.
Mike Reilly left China on 27 June when police took action at GSK China, which was not stopped by the police.
To cope with this, the company launched Changcheng () and Longteng () where the company used bribery to avoid Chinese doctors using Chinese equivalent of Heptodin.
According to Gao Feng, head of the economic crimes investigation unit at China's Public Security Ministry, GSK transferred 3 billion yuan to over 700 travel agencies and consultancies during a 6-year period, through which the company bribed doctors, hospitals, officials and medical associations.
GSK bought services from the travel agencies at prices much higher than real prices, so that the agencies were able to serve as a fund for bribery which was independent of internal financial regulations of the company.
Xinhua described the hierarchy of GSK's bribery networks, where the company reps bribed ordinary doctors, area managers bribed major clients, regional manager bribed VIPs, the marketing department bribed academics, and the VIP department bribed institutes.
The company bought cars, cameras, televisions, electrical autos and other non-medical equipment to bribed centers of disease control and vaccine injection centers for ¥13m.
GSK's Lamivudine was priced at 142 RMB in Mainland China, while it only cost 18RMB, 26RMB, 30RMB to buy the drug in Korea, Canada and Britain respectively.
Adefovir Dipivoxil, another product of GSK, was as expensive as 182 RMB, but it only costs 103.5RMB and 59.92RMB to buy them in Japan and Hong Kong.
Chen Hongbo (), former manager of GSK China, said to Xinhua that transfer pricing was a common strategy of multinationals, where a product was first sold to a middle country at a high price, and then it was imported to the destination at an even higher price based on the sale price in the middle country.
The police told media that during 2009-12, GSK China's revenues of main business were ¥397.8m, ¥486.2m, ¥552.9m, ¥697.5m, but profits were merely ¥11m, ¥-4.7m, ¥6.0m, ¥-18.8m, which was owing to the company's transfer pricing strategy.
Although the compliance department and Internal Audit Department of GSK China showed evidence to the company that the company was faking invoices and fabricating records and books, the warnings were not taken seriously.
Lan Shengke (), an executive of GSK China, said that Mike Reilly even fired a director at the compliance department as the strict enforcement of the compliance rules affected sales performance in 2011.
According to Xinhua, the trial at Changsha Intermediate People’s Court was not public as requested by GSK who wanted to keep business secrets.
A source told China Business Networks that the sales group for hepatitis drugs, which was related to the company's bribery plans, was downsized after the scandal.
Although the China market only contributed to a small fraction of overall revenue of GSK, it is the fastest growing markets of the company.
Globally, the quarterly profits fell by 14% to £1.3bn, which was below analysts' forecasts, leading to a 5% fall in its shares price, the biggest single fall on FTSE 100.
The company still faced investigation by UK's Serious Fraud Office and US department of justice, due to the laws against overseas corruption in the two countries where GSK was listed.
The legal suits in China forced the company to made a statement in December 2013, where changes in incentive programs, including cancelling individual sales targets and related bonus, were put forwards and expected to be enforced since 2014.
Following the scandal, GSK promised to lower the prices of its products in China, which was regarded as a signal to other drugmakers in China.
National Development and Reform Commission said it would examine the drug prices by 60 firms, after it had succeeded in making some foreign infant formula producers to lower the price in an earlier price-related inquiry.
Many Chinese doctors said they had no choice but to use these foreign drugs, when Chinese patients had little trust in the quality of the Chinese equivalents.
For a long time, corruption had been usually considered as part of the cost of doing business in China, and the medical industry was of no escape.
GSK's case was one of the cases in Xi Jinping-led anti-corruption campaign, which had previously expelled several senior officials in the military and state oil companies from the Communist Party.
Ben Cavender, an associate principal at China Market Research Group, said that the GSK's case could be part of the greater trend of fighting against corruption, where foreign firms were advised to carefully obey the law.
However, the American Chamber of Commerce in China and US-China Business Council published reports, saying that foreign companies in China felt increasingly targeted by Chinese regulators.
The president of the US-China Business Council doubted whether China was using such kinds of probes to protect its domestic industry.
A senior research director in Shanghai admitted money-involving new cooperation between international pharmaceutical firms and Chinese academics and hospitals were suspended in 2013.
Pharmaceutical companies usually invested in continuing medical education (CME) where the latest medical progress was discussed in order to encourage doctors to use their products.
In 2009, the country amended the criminal law to prohibit illegal transfer or trade of personal data and punish anyone who wants to buy or sell them.
On 10 July, which was 2 weeks after the police operations at GSK offices, Shanghai police arrested Humphrey and his wife Yu at their Shanghai apartment, charging them with privacy law breach.
Humphrey was sentenced to 2 and a half and Yu was sentenced to 2 years by the Shanghai First Intermediate People’s Court, which was a much more severe sentence compared to other cases of similar conditions in Shanghai.
Humphrey was released 7 months early due to his ill health condition, and his wife Yu was released about the same time.

While much of the research in the various fields of linguistics is descriptive, there exists an underlying assumption that terminological and methodological choices reflect the researcher's understanding of what language is in theoretical terms.
During the 19th century, when sociological questions remained under psychology, languages and language change were considered as arising from human psychology and unconscious mind by Heymann Steinthal, Hermann Paul and William Dwight Whitney.
As a humanist reaction to social Darwinism in the late 19the century, Émile Durkheim modified Herbert Spencer's organic analogy to create a view of society which is not based on competition of cultures.
In the structuralist view, linguistics is the study of semiology, an interactive binary organisation which includes a conceptual system and a corresponding symbolic system.
American structuralists such as Edward Sapir and Leonard Bloomfield remained more closely allied to German psychological approaches to linguistics, but others, such as Charles F. Hockett, studied the systemic organisation of language, adding to French structuralism.
The Boasian school of cultural relativism remained highly influential until 1960s, reducing the importance of universalist approaches to theory of language in North America.
Language is seen as a tool for communication, and the shape of the tool is based on what it is needed for.
Following a 1920s shift in sociology to functional explanation of social structures, the Prague school of linguistics was established for functional linguistics, with Vilém Mathesius, Jan Firbas and František Daneš developing Functional Sentence Perspective (FSP), a multi-layered model of text analysis.
The Dutch school is today organised around Functional Discourse Grammar, and the legacy of the English school is carried by Systemic Functional Grammar; the last two are functional models of linguistic analysis.
Steven Pinker and other advocates of evolutionary psychology see language, including grammatical phenomena, as being caused by the evolution of human physiology.
Some evolutionary linguists support a version of a genetic Universal Grammar while others are more generally looking for answers in language processing or linguistic cognition.
The idea of languages as species of living organisms competing for living space was advocated by Darwin and his followers, especially the evolutionary linguist August Schleicher.
Richard Dawkins's memetics and other cultural replicator theories, such as David Hull's generalised Darwinism and CAS (Complex adaptive system) form the basis of modern Darwinian linguistics.
In the Universal Darwinian model, not only linguistic units are seen as fighting for survival, but even research traditions; and idea promoted in linguistics by William Croft.
As Schleicher compared languages to plants, animals and crystals, the idea of grammatical structures as crystallised patterns were revived in Kenneth Lee Pike's tagmemics.
Fo(u)r Peace Central Europe, occasionally, especially in informal correspondence, on logos, patches or similar 4 Peace Central Europe or 4-PCE or 4PCE (pronounced fōr-pī-cī-ī) refers to a military cooperation between military training centers in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Austria.
The peculiar spelling is supposed to unite two things in one term: both the statement that there are four nations and that they act for peace in Central Europe or shoulder to shoulder from Central Europe for world peace (in which the four nations, the Netherlands in a broader sense, geographically and culturally are).
Training centers, such as those in the 4-PCE network, can have this course certified by the responsible Department for Peace Operations (DPO / ITS).
The course at the German UN training center was certified for the first time in 2007 by the responsible Department for Peace Operations (DPO) of the UN, the SWISSINT course was certified for the first time in 2008.
Course participants are usual officers from senior lieutenant to major in principle from all member nations of the United Nations that have armed forces.
The cooperation between the four partner nations is beneficial to everyone through synergy effects, since, for example, the respective assignment of trainers also promotes the exchange of experience and knowledge and the resource personnel is used more efficiently.
The military cooperation between the training centers began, initially with purely bilateral agreements, in 1993 and initially mainly involved the exchange of instructors.
This was particularly important for the German Forces, since Germany, unlike the other armies mentioned in the Cold War phase, was unable to gain direct operational experience from the United Nations through the provision of military observers.
As a platform for coordination, a Commanders´ Conference (CC) with the four commandants / commanders takes place every six months, and in preparation for these a so-called Chief Instructure Meeting (CIM) with the four training managers, alternating between one of the four Partner countries instead.
However the way of this in the 4-PCE partner nations, with a timed MEoM course in the respective country and subsequent joint final exercise, is unique worldwide.

Essential amino acids (EAAs) are amino acids which are necessary to build proteins in an organism but can not be synthesized by the organism itself and us such must be provide in the diet.
Some of the plant-based foods do not contain a full composition of EAAs for example: some sprouts, mango, pineapple, lime and melon.
A table below shows the smallest sample food required to provide all EAAs according to the RDA for each individual EAA.
Food samples for nuts, seeds, beans, and peas are bigger than one of chicken, and in case of rice, the sample is simply unpractical - the known fact is that cereals are not the main source of proteins.

The British Dream: Successes and Failures of Post-war Immigration is a 2013 book by British journalist, commentator, author and editor David Goodhart.
The book began as a 2014 article in Prospect (magazine) challenging the assumption that immigration is always a good thing and suggesting that mass immigration can challenge social solidarity.
Goodhart argued that because relatively homogeneous societies such as Britain was before the advent of mass immigration in the late 20th century the fact that people share values makes them willing to support one another,whereas in a highly diverse societies the sense of community that is a prerequisite for willingness to support the high taxation a welfare state requires, social solidarity declines.
The country would still have functioned perfectly well with half the levels of poor-country immigration we have experienced – it would have been more monochrome, a bit more equal and a lot more Irish”.
He points out that British voters have never been asked to approve or disapprove mass immigration, arguing that they have instead been misled or lied to on a policy that has radically changed the nature of their communities.
Four million immigrants entered Britain under Tony Blair and New Labour between 1997 and 2012, with scant mention of immigration in the Labour election manifestos of 1997 or 2001.

Henri Borguet was Belgian entrepreneur who built in Belgium the first steam passenger railway in continental Europe, between Brussels and Mechelen.
Considering that the railways would be a major economic resource and a full national network would be necessary, the Belgian government approved in 1834 a plan to build a railway between Mons, and the port of Antwerp via Brussels at a cost of 150 million Belgian francs.
The first stretch of the Belgian railway network, between northern Brussels and Mechelen, was completed in 1835 becoming the first steam passenger railway in continental Europe.
The proposed direct line between Antwerp and the Prussian border was rerouted through Mechelen, from which a short stub line to Brussels could be built, Leuven, Liège and Verviers.
Another line could connect Mechelen with Dendermonde, Ghent, Bruges and Ostend to grant a safe access to the sea since the Dutch were able to blockade the Scheldt, cutting Antwerp away from the sea).
For his contribution to the construction of the Belgian railway system, Borguet was elevated to the rank of Knight in the Order of Leopold on 14 July 1842.
A by-election for Henganofi constituency was held in the Territory of Papua and New Guinea on 15 July 1967, following the death of incumbent MHA Ugi Biritu.
Henganofi constituency consisted of two main sections, one part of Henganofi District (containing around 45% of the registered voters) and one part of Lufa District (containing 55% of the electorate).
Although all but one of the candidates came from the Lufa District, voters in Lufa awarded almost all their preference votes to other candidates from the district.
This meant that although the Henganofi candidate Bono Azanifa received by far the most first preference votes, he received only 271 preference votes from the 18,206 voters, allowing Lufa candidate Ugi Biritu to be elected on the fourth count despite receiving fewer than half the first preference votes of Azanifa.
As many voters were illiterate, polling officials used the 'whispering ballot', where voters whispered their preferred candidates to the poll clerk.
Henganofi candidate Kimi Anozampe was eliminated in the first count, with 408 of his second preferences going to fellow Henganofi candidate Azanifa and only 12 to the four Lufa candidates.
Despite only receiving 143 preference voters from Lufa candidates, Azanifa held on to his lead after most of the votes in the sixth count did not indicate a preference.

The book uses dynamic modeling to capture patterns in the behavior of major world powers since 1816, focusing specifically on the rivalries between those powers.
The book combines theories about balance of power and power transitions into a formal model which, through numerical simulations, produces more than a dozen specific hypotheses.
The book arose from Kadera's dissertation, for which she had previously won the 1996 Peace Science Society’s Walter Isard Dissertation Award.
Kadera's research on topics like the survival of democratic regimes, international conflict management, and the evolution of war and peace over time has been published in journals like the American Journal of Political Science, International Studies Quarterly, and Conflict Management and Peace Science.
In addition to research on international conflict and the survival of democratic regimes, including pieces on gender and conflict studies, Kadera has notably worked on equity issues within world politics.
She has published on the undervaluation of research done by women in the study of world politics, and has promoted the mentoring of women who are junior scholars in international relations.

Joseph William Thorpe Redfearn, (1921 Wombwell, West Riding of Yorkshire - 9 June 2011, Brightlingsea, Essex) was an English army officer, medical physiologist, psychiatrist and analytical psychotherapist and writer.
He received a scholarship to Emmanuel College, Cambridge where he gained a Double first in the Natural sciences tripos and Psychology.
Back in the UK during his National service he was head of the physiology unit in the army operational research group in the rank of captain.
After resigning his army commission in 1952 he spent five years at the clinical psychiatry research unit of Graylingwell Hospital, West Sussex, where along with Olof Lippold and others, he researched depersonalization states and evoked critical potentials in animals, including humans and contributed to numerous scientific papers.
At the invitation of Sir Aubrey Lewis he applied for and gained a post at the Maudsley Hospital in South London where he became a consultant psychotherapist.
Redfearn became a member of the founding generation of the Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP) and received clinical supervision from German refugee Gerhard Adler, himself trained by Carl Jung in Zurich.
Over the course of fifty years, Redfearn treated many analytic patients, became a Training Analyst, supervised trainees, became Chair of the Society (1967–70) and Director of Training (1971-1983).
His much cited papers published in various journals reflect his enduring concern with the nature of the Self and with the body and his concept of 'subpersonalities'.
For instance, his 1982 paper on persons as things and things as persons has reverberated in a subsequent work by a philosopher considering ourselves in relation to the built environment.
It demonstrates how treatment characteristic of SAP practitioners is centred on concern for patients whose breakdown threatens disintegration and who may be on or past the brink of psychosis.
He agreed with Jung that, 'the goal of psychic development is the self', and he painted mandalas to give expression to this aim.
In 1974 with two colleagues, Dr. Camilla Bosanquet and Peter Lomas, Redfearn established an independent psychotherapy institution, the Guild of Psychotherapists.

However, the magistrate unexpectedly decided in December 1959 to demolish the Reich President's Palace, the neighboring Palaces of Princes Alexander and Georg and Monbijou Palace.
The balcony grille above the central portal has been preserved and is still located today in a residential building in Berlin-Köpenick, Bahnhofstraße 4.
The two sandstone lions, who crowned the pillars of the gate on Wilhelmstrasse, were initially moved to Tierpark Berlin at Berlin-Friedrichsfelde.
In the 1980s the GDR had an extensive Plattenbau residential complex built along Wilhelmstrasse, and thus also over the old building, in order to erase the memory of Prussian Wilhelmstrasse.
It stands in front of Number 78 in the Wilhelmstrasse, which was opened again for public access in 1993 after the German reunification.
In addition, there were some outbuildings such as a garage for the President's vehicle fleet, a rear building and various small garden houses, greenhouses and a chicken coop.
In later years it was common for a twenty-member honorary formation of the Reichswehr to take a stand on the courtyard whenever the President entered or left his office.
In the courtyard there was a fountain decorated with allegorical figures, behind which a wide glass staircase led to the entrance to the palace.
The caretaker of the building (usually a man named Horst Tappe) lived in an apartment on the top floor, while the chauffeur of the head of state (Heinrich Demant) lived in the rooms above the former imperial stables that had been converted into a garage for the vehicle fleet.
The building was surrounded by a large park, which included walking paths, lawns and flower beds as well as some vegetable beds hidden behind hedges.
And secondly, those people who came to the palace during the day to perform certain tasks, but did not live there privately.
In addition to the Reich President Ebert and von Hindenburg, the head of the head of state's office, State Secretary Otto Meissner, was constantly at home in the palace from 1920 to 1939.
During Ebert's presidency, his wife and two sons lived in the palace, while Hindenburg brought his son Oskar and his daughter-in-law and the couple's three children, of whom the youngest was born in the palace with.
The President's staff and household staff were only to be found on the premises during the working hours of the palace.
Among the members of the staff of the Reich President, whose most important collaborators were Ebert and Hindenburg in the same way, are to be emphasized: The Ministerialrat , who dealt with domestic affairs, and the Legationsrat Oswald von Hoyningen-Huene, who was assigned to the President of the Reich as representative of the Federal Foreign Office, as well as High Government Councilor Wilhelm Geilenberg, who ran the cash register.
Under Hindenburg his son Oskar von Hindenburg took over the post of the first military adjutant of the Reich President and that of the second adjutant.
It stands in spacious meadows, surrounded by forest, at the intersection of the road which leads to Cuprum and the Kleinschmidt grade.

Nicholas Greusel (July 4, 1817 – April 25, 1896) commanded the 36th Illinois Infantry Regiment during the early part of the American Civil War.
At the start of the Civil War he joined a three-month Illinois regiment, rising to field officer rank before the state governor appointed him colonel of the 36th Illinois.
Nicholas found employment for a year with the mother of Hamilton Fish, and for a second year worked in a brickyard.
In 1844, he was elected Alderman of the Fourth Ward of Detroit as a member of the Whig Party and served for two years.
The regiment served under James Monroe Bankhead's command in the area around Orizaba and Córdoba, skirmishing with guerillas and small groups of Mexican regulars.
Of D Company's 105 soldiers who began the war, 85 returned home, which represented fewer losses than suffered by the other companies.
By good management of company funds, Greusel saved $300 which he used to buy new shirts and shoes for his soldiers.
In 1849 he was appointed superintendent of the city water works and in 1850–1852 he became Inspector General of lumber for Michigan.
On April 18, 1861, after the Battle of Fort Sumter, Captain Greusel enrolled the Aurora Company in the Illinois militia for three-months service.
At the Battle of Pea Ridge on March 7–8, 1862, Greusel commanded the 2nd Brigade in the 1st Division under Peter Joseph Osterhaus.
The brigade's units were the 36th Illinois, 12th Missouri Volunteer Infantry, and two Illinois cavalry companies under Albert Jenks and Henry A. Smith.
By 9:00 am on March 7, Curtis received positive information that Earl Van Dorn's Confederate army made a turning movement and was approaching his army's right rear.
He ordered Osterhaus to march to Leetown with some cavalry units and Greusel to follow with his brigade and elements of the 3rd Division.
The soldiers did not panic and Osterhaus arrived to find Greusel calmly directing the deployment of the troops along the southern edge of Oberson's field.
The position was manned by Greusel's two regiments plus three M1841 12-pounder howitzers of Martin Welfley's Missouri Battery and the six guns of Louis Hoffman's 4th Ohio Battery.
When the 6th Texas Cavalry Regiment suddenly burst into Oberson's field, it was quickly taken under fire and compelled to retreat.
Greusel ordered the gunners to lob howitzer shells over the woods and this blind fire proved surprisingly effective, panicking the Confederates' Indian allies.
He also sent a skirmish line composed of Silas Miller's Company B and Irving Parkhurst's Company G of the 36th Illinois to the northern edge of the field.
As the Confederate troops wavered, the Federal left flank infantry swept forward to victory with Greusel's two regiments in the front line on the left.
The 36th Illinois lost four killed, 37 wounded, and 34 missing while the 12th Missouri lost three killed, 29 wounded, and two missing.
From June 1 to September 4, 1862, Greusel commanded the 1st Brigade in the 5th Division of the Army of the Mississippi.
During this period, which included the Siege of Corinth, the 5th Division was led first by Alexander Asboth and later by Gordon Granger.
At the Battle of Perryville on October 8, 1862, Greusel commanded the 37th Brigade in Philip Sheridan's 11th Division, Charles Champion Gilbert's III Corps, Don Carlos Buell's Army of the Ohio.
A second source recorded losses of 12 killed, 61 wounded, and four missing in the 36th Illinois, eight killed and 35 wounded in the 88th Illinois, 22 wounded in the 21st Michigan, and one killed in the 24th Wisconsin.
On the late afternoon of October 7, Greusel's brigade was committed to help the Federal cavalrymen, causing the Confederate horsemen under Joseph Wheeler to pull back.
A firefight ensued at range across a cornfield with the 88th Illinois on the right of the 36th Illinois and Daniel McCook Jr.'s brigade on its left.
At the Battle of Stones River on December 31, 1862–January 2, 1863, Greusel commanded the 36th Illinois in Joshua W. Sill's 1st Brigade, Sheridan's 3rd Division, Alexander McDowell McCook's Right Wing, William Rosecrans's Army of the Cumberland.
An hour after the Confederates attacked McCook's right flank on the morning of December 31, five Union brigades were fleeing in confusion or panic.
At some time after 7:00 am, the last of Jefferson C. Davis's brigades and Sheridan's division began to come under attack.
During the first clash, Sill was shot dead and Greusel assumed leadership of the brigade, with Silas Miller taking command of the 36th Illinois.
Out of ammunition and unable to secure 0.67 caliber cartridges (0.58 caliber was standard issue), the 36th Illinois was given permission to withdraw.
Sheridan pulled back to a second position, sending the 88th Illinois and 21st Michigan to hold a position near the Harding farm.
On January 2, 1863 after several days of fighting and no sleep, Sheridan and Greusel lay down to sleep in a crude brush shelter.
After the war was over, on October 15, 1865, Sheridan wrote a highly complimentary letter to Greusel, thanking him for his services.
On September 1, 1866 he moved to Burlington, Iowa and took a new job as Roadmaster for the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad.
In 1876, at the International Peace Union convention at Carpenters' Hall in Philadelphia there was a proposal to convert swords into useful tools.
He said it was the sword he carried during the Mexican-American War and the Civil War and that he originally planned to give it to his heirs.
Greusel died in Mount Pleasant at 1:00 am on April 25, 1896 and was buried in Aurora, Illinois at the Spring Lake Cemetery.

1890/813), one by Gian Antonio Guardi (Seattle Art Museum) and a third of almost exactly the same dimensions as the original, possibly autograph (Baltimore Museum of Art).
No records survive of who commissioned the painting, though Martinelli theorises that it may have been the Barbaro family, whose patron saint was Catherine of Alexandria and which had previously commissioned other works from the artist.
It was recorded as being in Venice in 1648 in the residence of the Windmann family from Carinzia near the church of San Canciano.

The Witch is a lost 1916 American silent film drama directed by Frank Powell, produced by Fox Film Corporation, and starring Nance O'Neil, Alfred Hickman, and Frank Russell.
With its storyline set in early twentieth-century Mexico, this lost film portrayed the plight of Zora Fernandez (Nance O'Neil), a beautiful and exotic woman who becomes entangled in a love affair and is persecuted by local officials following an armed uprising.
Her father, Dr. Fernandez (Frank Russell), is a physician and also a general who leads an insurrection against General Mendoza (Alfred Hickman), the military governor of the surrounding territory.
The victorious Mendoza now resents Zora for her past indifference to his romantic advances and suspects she may try to oppose his authority as well.
The governor is concerned too about Zora's reputation as a sorceress, most notably for her abilities to cast spells and concoct miraculous potions.
Zora later learns of Riques' impending marriage, becomes angry, and quietly goes back to the governor's palace the night before the wedding on the pretext of checking on her patient.
The couple are arrested and tried, but Zora saves Riques from hanging by assuming all the blame and lying that she had captured his heart by casting a spell on him, one that he could not resist.
Zora is then convicted, sentenced to death for witchcraft, and carried away by a mob to be burned at the stake.
Zora is about to be executed when Dolores's nurse rushes in to inform the governor that his daughter is in a deep sleep at his palace, cannot be awakened, and only Zora can save her.
The entire production was filmed in Fort Lee at Fox's facilities located near the intersection of Main Street and Linwood Avenue.
Then, on his return to Fort Lee, Turner supervised the construction on Fox studio's backlot a set with full-size replicas of the Mexican buildings he had documented.
The film's battle sequences and other outdoor scenes were shot in Fort Lee between late June and early August 1915, over six months prior to the five-reeler's release.
It is likely that Powell chose New Jersey's summer months to film in order to present on screen a landscape that most theater audiences in 1916 would view as a generally plausible setting for Mexico.
The film in 1916 received generally positive or mixed reviews in trade publications and newspapers in various regions of the United States.
Reviews in city and regional newspapers in 1916 are largely positive too, with many of those news outlets focusing attention on O'Neil's performance and on the film's elaborate action scenes.
No full prints or partial reels of the film are preserved in the Library of Congress, the UCLA Film Archives, in the collection of moving images at the Museum of Modern Art, the George Eastman Museum, in European film repositories, or elsewhere.
Stills from the production, in addition to those depicted on this page, do survive as illustrations in 1915 and 1916 publications and provide a visual record of the general content of some scenes in the film.

Indus Basin Replacement Works was carried out in Pakistan's Indus Basin Irrigation System which is one of the world's largest continuous irrigation system.
The replacement works also known as the Indus Basin Settlement Plan were implemented to provide Pakistan with enough water for irrigation needs following the Indus Waters Treaty between India and Pakistan.
The treaty gave away the rights three eastern rivers of the Indus Basin to India and to make up for this loss of water a network of dams and link canals was built to haul water from the western rivers Indus, Jhelum and Chenab to the eastern Ravi, Sutlej and Beas rivers.
The government of Pakistan completed the construction of Tarbela Dam and Mangla Dam and a number of barrages now being managed by Punjab Irrigation Department under the Indus Basin Replacement Works.
Over the course of his career, Hare has become well-known for his outsize role in shaping the sound of recorded a cappella.
At the beginning of the 1980s, Hare began working with a professional recording studio in the San Francisco Bay Area as a session musician.
In 1984, Hare purchased part ownership in the studio, and began his first work as a recording, mixing and mastering engineer.
Their 1990 followup album together earned the attention of Deke Sharon in Boston, who had heard the album and who wrote Hare a letter describing his new a cappella society (what would become the Contemporary A Cappella Society, also known as CASA).
Recording in those days on analog tape, modern techniques such as recording individual parts to a click track and editing them together did not yet exist.
At the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards (CARAs) the next year, the album won awards in five categories, including Best Mixing and Engineering for Hare.
Hare's influence in the recorded a cappella world expanded (even as he continued recording orchestral and concert band albums on the side).
In 1999, Stanford University a cappella groups were nominated for a record 14 Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards for their new albums.
As of 2020, Hare has shifted his focus away from United States a cappella toward European and international a cappella groups.
For the shift, Hare cites an increasing degree of same-ness in the industry, in part due to the widespread adoption of his techniques.
Before Hare, a cappella was generally recorded exactly as a listener would perceive a live performance: with two microphones capturing the whole group at once, singing in a room.
At the turn of the 1990s, over the course of a few albums with Stanford collegiate a cappella groups, Hare developed a new style: This involved recording every voice as one would record instruments: each voice with its own microphone, and each singer just a few inches away from their microphone.
Placing all the voices so close to the listener's ear created an entirely new sound in a cappella recording, with increased presence for each voice.
Additionally, a cappella pre-1990s generally included no percussive elements; Hare was one of the first to implement vocal percussion in the style of real drum kits.

The Indus Basin has a long history of irrigation dating back to 4000 year old Indus valley civilization in Harrapa and Mohenjodaro settlements.
The history of modern Punjab Irrigation Department can be traced back to the establishment of 5 major canals in the region in early 20th century when the British built Lower Chenab Canal, Lower Jhelum Canal, Upper Jhelum Canal, Upper Chenab Canal and Lower Bari Doab Canal.
Each operational zone is headed by a chief engineer and each circle is headed by a superintending engineer and they are supported by an extended team of executive engineers, sub-divisional officers, sub-engineers, mates and baildars.
Punjab Irrigation Department delivers irrigation supplies to farmers through 51,990 outlets in its system of 24 main canals and distribution canals spanning 22,700 kilometers.
Daily canal discharges at all the canals in the entire system can be checked at the official website of the department.
Punjab Irrigation Department functions under Canal and Drainage Act 1873 which was introduced to regulate irrigation, navigation and drainage of provincial territories.
The purpose of this act is that the Provincial Government is entitled to use and control for public purposes, the water of all rivers and streams flowing in natural channels, and of all lake and other natural collections of still water in said territories.
Punjab Irrigation Department Completed the Punjab Irrigation completed the construction of New Khanki Barrage in August 2017 which replaced the old Khanki Headworks which irrigated 3.03 million acres of fertile land in 8 districts of central Punjab.
The 117 kilometer long canal will originate from River Jhelum at Rasul Barrage and, along with its branches, will irrigate 1,70,000 acres of arid land in Districts of Jhelum and Khushab.
The Department has also initiated works on Dadocha Dam which will supply 35 million gallons of drinking per day to the people of Rawalpindi.

Marie-Lise Chanin (Marie-Lise, Paule, Andrée Lory; born on 26 September 1934 in Angers), is a French geophysicist, aeronomist, director of research emeritus at the CNRS, and author of works on the physics of the upper and middle atmosphere.
Marie-Lise Lory plans to study at the Beaux-Arts but is studying science ː bachelor's degree in mathematics, then studies physics (quantum optics).
On the advice of Alfred Kastler and Jean Brossel she enters a laboratory being created at the École normale supérieure, the Aeronomy Department.
In 1959, she joined the CNRS as a research trainee, where she spent her entire professional career until her academic retirement in 2000, becoming research director in 1986.
She was elected a corresponding member of the French Academy of sciences on 26 March 1990, in the Sciences of the Universe section.
Throughout her career, she assumed many responsibilitiesː member of the High Council of Meteorology, member of the Environment Committee of the French Academy of sciences (since 2005), French representative to the ICSU (International Council of Scientific Unions), member of the Scientific Council of the Centre for Unconventional Hydrocarbons, President of the French National Committee of Geodesy and Geophysics (1986-1990), among others.
She is also a member of the French Academy of Technologies, the Académie de l'Air et de l'Espace and the Academia Europaea.
She was made a Chevalier on September 26, 1996, and was promoted to Officier on December 31, 2005, Commandeur on March 29, 2013, before being raised to the dignity of Grand Officier on December 30, 2017.
Marie-Lise Chanin has devoted her research to the physics of the upper and middle atmosphere, which has led her to an interest in the destruction of ozone in the stratosphere and climate change.
She first studied the upper armosphere: her thesis (directed by Jacques Blamont) is devoted to the measurement of the temperature of the upper atmosphere.
She used the optical resonance of alkaline atoms emitted into the atmosphere by rockets and her measurements revealed the influence of solar activity and particle precipitation.
She then developed methods for probing the atmosphere by laser or lidar, which allow temperature measurements over a distance of 10 to 100 km.

Megxit came to signify the break by the couple from the British royal family and formal royal protocol, and their plans for independence under their new brand, Sussex Royal.
The term also reflects a widely reported assumption that Meghan was the driver of their announcement and is considered by some to be pejorative.
In addition to Bradby's statements, other reasons raised included ongoing hostile treatment of the couple by some in the British tabloid press, and perceived issues of racism towards Meghan.
Since its use in media on 9 January, some sources have taken issue with the pejorative nature of the term, and regarded it as further evidence of the animosity the Duchess had faced.
The initial British reactions to the 8 January announcement was of surprise, and concern whether the decision was properly thought through; the story dominated the British news cycle.
NBC News reported on analysis implying that the impact to the British economy from the loss of the couple could be material.
Madame Tussauds immediately moved its waxwork figures of Harry and Meghan away from the display including the other members of the British royal family to a separate area.
The initial news was for the most part positively received in Canada, where the Duchess of Sussex had based herself with her son, Archie.
The Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, publicly welcomed the couple, and indicated that Canada would fund security protection for the couple while they were resident there.
Chris Waddell, a journalist, and professor at the Carleton University School of Journalism and Communication in Ottawa, stated that the couple would receive less scrutiny in local media in Canada than the UK and that it would be more costly for the British tabloids to follow them.
An opinion poll by Postmedia Network has suggested that 61 per cent of Canadians want Prince Harry to become Governor General of Canada.
In a poll released on 15 January by the Angus Reid Institute, 70 per cent of Canadians surveyed followed the developments of Megxit.
In the same poll, half of Canadians surveyed did not care if the couple choose to spend significant time in Canada, although 39 per cent of Canadians were in favour of it, while 11 per cent found it upsetting.
Support for the couple spending significant time in Canada was strongest in Atlantic Canada, and Ontario, and was weakest in Quebec.
However, 73 per cent of those surveyed by Angus Reid say that the security costs should be covered by the couple themselves.
An online petition from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation garnered more than 90,000 signatures by 23 January 2020, demanding that the couple pay out of their own pocket for their security.
In 2019, the couple stepped back from The Royal Foundation, which they had led jointly with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

The 2019 novel coronavirus (provisionally named 2019-nCoV), informally known as the Wuhan coronavirus, is a contagious virus that causes respiratory infection and has been identified as the causative agent of the ongoing 2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak.
Many early cases were linked to a large seafood and animal market, and the virus is thought to have a zoonotic origin.
Comparisons of the genetic sequences of this virus and other virus samples have shown similarities to SARS-CoV (79.5%) and bat coronaviruses (96%), which makes an ultimate origin in bats likely.
The virus subsequently spread to all provinces of China and to more than twenty other countries in Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania.
Nearly all cases outside China have occurred in people who either traveled from Wuhan, or were in direct contact with someone who traveled from the area.
Overall mortality and morbidity rates due to infection from 2019-nCoV are unknown, both because the mortality rate may be changing over time in the current outbreak, and because the number of minor and asymptomatic cases not resulting in diagnosis remains unclear.
However, preliminary research results have estimated a mortality rate of 2–3% among those infected and the WHO has suggested that the mortality rate is approximately 3%.
Coronaviruses are primarily spread through close contact, in particular through respiratory droplets from coughs and sneezes within a range of about .
Animals sold for food are suspected to be the reservoir or the intermediary because many of the first identified infected individuals were workers at the Huanan Seafood Market.
A market selling live animals for food was also blamed in the SARS outbreak in 2003; such markets are considered to be incubators for novel pathogens.
However, some researchers have suggested that the Huanan Seafood Market may not be the original source of viral transmission to humans.
With a sufficient number of sequenced genomes, it is possible to reconstruct a phylogenetic tree of the mutation history of a family of viruses.
For comparison, this amount of variation among viruses is similar to the amount of mutation observed over ten years in the H3N2 human influenza virus strain.
Other coronaviruses are capable of causing illnesses ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
By 12 January, five genomes of 2019-nCoV had been isolated from Wuhan and reported by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC) and other institutions; the number of genomes increased to 28 by 26 January.
The publications of the genome led to several protein modeling experiments on the receptor binding protein (RBD) of the nCoV spike (S) protein suggesting that the S protein retained sufficient affinity to the Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor to use it as a mechanism of cell entry.
On 22 January, a group in China working with the full virus and a group in the U.S. working with reverse genetics independently and experimentally demonstrated ACE2 as the receptor for 2019-nCoV.
To look for potential protease inhibitors, the viral 3C-like protease M(pro) from the ORF1a polyprotein was also modeled for drug docking experiments.
Innophore has produced two computational models based on SARS protease, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has produced an unpublished experimental structure of a recombinant 2019-nCoV protease.
No specific treatment verified by medical research standards (in the sense of systematic reviews of peer reviewed randomized controlled clinical trials) is available , so treatment is focused on alleviation of symptoms, which may include fever, dry cough, and shortness of breath.
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention started testing existing pneumonia treatments for efficacy in treating coronavirus-related pneumonia in late January.
Offical investigations by the Chinese health authorities into the effectiveness of existing antivirals, including protease inhibitors like indinavir, saquinavir and lopinavir/ritonavir also started in late January.
Examination of the RNA polymerase inhibitor remdesivir, triazavirin, interferon beta, and previously identified monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) as possible treatments also started around the same period.
Projects studying the effectiveness of Hepatitis C treatment Sofosbuvir, a RNA-dependent RNA polymerase inhibitor, were also started in late January 2020.
The team of Yuen Kwok-yung at the University of Hong Kong, which previously participated in work on the SARS coronavirus during its 2003 outbreak, has also announced that a vaccine is under development there but has yet to proceed to animal testing.
Elsewhere, three vaccine projects are being supported by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), including projects by the biotechnology companies Moderna and Inovio Pharmaceuticals and another by the University of Queensland.
The United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) is cooperating with Moderna to create an RNA vaccine matching a spike of the coronavirus surface, and is hoping to start production by May 2020.
In Australia, the University of Queensland is investigating the potential of a molecular clamp vaccine that would genetically modify viral proteins to make them mimic the coronavirus and stimulate an immune reaction.
Inovio, which develops DNA vaccinations that have not yet been approved for human use, has a candidate vaccine ready for preclinical testing and is collaborating with a Chinese firm in order to speed its acceptance by regulatory authorities in China.
In an independent project, the Public Health Agency of Canada has granted permission to the International Vaccine Centre (VIDO-InterVac) at the University of Saskatchewan to begin work on a vaccine.
The Imperial College Faculty of Medicine in London has funding to develop a vaccine and take it to animal trials, a phase of research expects to complete by mid-February 2020.

In archaeogenetics, the term Scandinavian Hunter-Gatherer (SHG) is the name given to a distinct ancestral component that represents descent from Mesolithic hunter-gatherers of Scandinavia.
Genetic studies suggest that the SHGs were a mix of Western Hunter-Gatherers (WHGs) initially populating Scandinavia from the south during the Holocene, and Eastern Hunter-Gatherers (EHGs), who later entered Scandinavia from the north along the Norwegian coast.
Genetic continuity has been detected between the SHGs and members of the Pitted Ware culture, and to a certain degree, between SHGs and modern northern Europeans.
A number of remains examined at Motala, Sweden, and a separate group of remains from 5,000 year-old hunter-gatherers of the Pitted Ware culture (PCW), were identified as belonging to SHG.
An SHG individual from Motala was identified as being of 81% Western Hunter-Gatherer (WHG) ancestry, and 19% Ancient North Eurasian (ANE) ancestry.
Of the four males surveyed, three carried the paternal haplogroup I2a1 or various subclades of it, while the other carried I2c.
SHGs living between 6000 BC and 3000 BC were found to largely genetically homogenous, with little admixture occurring among them during this period.
In three samples, the haplotype carrying the derived allele of rs3827760 in the EDAR gene, which is today common in East Asia, but largely absent in modern-day Europe outside Scandinavia.
WHGs were in turn a mix of EHGs and the Upper Paleolithic people (Cro-Magnon) of the Grotte du Bichon in Switzerland.
All samples from western and northern Scandinavia carried U5a1 haplotypes, while all the samples from eastern Scandinavia except from one carried U4a2 haplotypes.
The authors of the study suggested that SHGs were descended from a WHG population that had entered Scandinavia from the south, and an EHG population which had entered Scandinavia from the northeast along the coast.
The SHGs were found to have a genetic adaption to high latitude environments, including high frequencies of low pigmentation variants and genes designed for adaption to the cold and physical performance.
The study found that Mesolithic hunter-gatherers of the eastern Baltic also carried high frequencies of the HERC2, SLC45A2 and SLC24A5 alleles.
The results further underpinned previous suggestion that SHGs were descended from northward migration of WHGs and a subsequent southward migration of EHGs.
Samples of Y-DNA extracted from these individuals belonged exclusively to R haplotypes (particularly subclades of R1b1 and R1a)) and I haplotypes (particlarly subclades of I2).
This is strikingly different from WHGs and EHGs, who are believed to have been blue eyed and dark skinned, and brown-eyed and light-skinned, respectively.

He then spent a brief spell in fellow North East club Darlington’s academy before making the decision to move to America to study and continue his football education.
In 2013, Machell moved to the United States, playing for Wingate University and appeared in all 17 matches during his first year at Wingate, starting 10 contests and registered five goals and two assists.
The following year saw him winning the 2014 South Atlantic Conference player of the year award and was part of an NSCAA third-team All-American selection.

After completing his studies, Machell went for a few trials with US clubs and also went to a combine in New York that had a number of Danish agents and coaches in attendance.
Machell had went to the combine purely because he had wanted to potentially play in Scandinavia and caught the eye of onlooking scouts.
He was then approached by an agent and also the head coach of Thisted FC who invited him on a pre-season trial with the club.
Machell then signed his first professional contract after he penned a one-year contract with Thisted FC of the Danish 1st Division.

Dong Wenyu (born 1978 - November 29, 2007) was a Chinese serial killer, rapist and necrophile, responsible for a string of robbery-murders across three provinces between March and May 2006.
Wenyu's parents divorced while he was in elementary school, with his mother remarrying in another country, leaving Dong in the care of his grandmother.
He became even less concerned about his son after the divorce, leading to the 11-year-old Wenyu running away from home while in the second grade.
A few months later, on September 10th, he was rearrested for theft in Hangzhou, received a sentence of 2 years and six months, which expired on March 9, 2002.
His modus operandi was to climb through a window at night, armed with a knife, and broke into residential buildings to carry out his criminal activities.
During his crime spree, six people were murdered (five of them women), two were injured (one seriously) and four women were raped.
The crimes were extremely cruel - if the owners were woken up by the noises, he would slit their throats with the knife, and, with some of the female victims, raped their still-fresh corpses.
On July 6, 2006, the Ministry of Public Security issued a Class A arrest warrant, initiating a nation-wide manhunt for Dong Wenyu.
He stole a mobile phone and climbed out of the window out on the dirt road, but the homeowner awoke and called him out.
The local police confirmed his identity by reviewing the items he carried with him - a wanted poster and a diary.
On April 26, 2007, the People's Procuratorate of Jinhua filed an indictment against Dong Wenyu for homicide, robbery, rape, theft and humiliation of a corpse.
On May 16th, the Jinhua Intermediate People's Court opened the first trial for the murder series, holding it in private because of privacy concerns.
On June 8th, the court found him guilty of all counts and sentenced him to death, depriving him of political rights for the rest of his life, handing him a fine of 5,000 yuan and confiscating all of his personal property.
During a subsequent psychiatric exam, according to Wenyu's own account, his childhood love of family violence and misfortune led to his strong antisocial behavior.
On July 18, 2007, the Zhejiang Provincial People's Higher Court agreed to send an appeal for the conviction to the Supreme People's Court, which promptly ruled that the death penalty is an appropriate sentence for Dong Wenyu.
He retired from the stage in 1835 and spent his later years in Palazzolo sull'Oglio, where he died at the age of 75.

Outside of Italy, he appeared in Paris in 1801 in a series of concerts at the Temple de Mars on Rue du Bac and at the Salle Favart.
In 1807, Bianchi married Carolina Crespi, an eighteen-year-old soprano whom he met when they were both singing with the Théâtre-Italien in Paris.
During the course of his career, Bianchi sang a wide repertoire ranging from opera buffa to opera seria and appeared in numerous world premieres.
He began his career primarily singing in opera buffas, but from 1812 he came to prominence in the opera seria genre as well.
According to Rodolfo Celletti, Bianchi's voice was baritonal in quality with a beautiful timbre and employed with an excellent technique and eloquent phrasing.
By 1819, Bianchi had opened a singing school in Milan, although he continued to perform for another 15 years in the opera houses of Italy and occasionally in Austria and England.
Following the retirement of Antonio Secchi (1761–1833) as professor of singing at the Milan Conservatory in 1832, Bianchi was offered the post, but he turned it down.

One of the three parallel ports was dedicated to interfacing with the host computer over the S-100 bus, while the other two were available for general use.
An Altair 8800 equipped with a 3P+S could use one of the parallel ports to accept input from a keyboard and another to output to a TV Typewriter, allowing the user to construct an all-in-one machine that did not need an external computer terminal to work.
This also left the serial port free, which could be used to drive a teletype machine as a computer printer, or a punch tape system for storage.
Processor Technology later combined the 3P+S with the VDM-1 graphics card in a compact S-100 machine of their own to produce the Sol-20, the first all-in-one mass-produced personal computer.
Crepereia Tryphaena was a young Roman woman, presumably about 20 years old, whose sarcophagus was found during the excavation works started in 1889 for the foundations of the Palace of Justice and for the construction of the Umberto I bridge over the Tiber in Rome.
During the excavation, several archaeological finds came to light, including a group of five sarcophagi buried between the middle of the 2nd and the 3rd centuries AD; of these, two still sealed were named after members from the same family: Crepereia Tryphaena and Crepereius Euhodus.
On the marble case of the sarcophagus dedicated to Crepereia Tryphaena was engraved a scene with a deep bas relief alluding to the girl's death.
The funeral equipment, present only in the Tryphaena sarcophagus, included many gold ornaments; moreover, placed next to her skeleton there was an ivory doll, initially believed to be made of oak wood, of fine workmanship and with hinged limbs.
To the Romans who on the morning of 12 January 1889 learned about this exceptional discovery near the Umberto I bridge, she resembled a river divinity.
When the sarcophagus, which was still sealed, was opened, the young woman, submerged in the water coming from the nearby Tiber river, appeared as a nymph.
The intact skeleton of the girl, which at the moment of her death was about 20 years old, was still adorned with several jewels and a crown of myrtle leaves blocked by a barrette made with small silver flowers.
At the time of her burial, Crepereia wore gold and pearl pendant earings and a gold necklace with pendants formed by small beryl crystals.
The technical skill of the craftsman who created it also stands out in the body with movable joints; legs and arms are connected to the trunk with small pins.
It is possible that the doll had been designed to wear clothes, since - unlike its trunk - its hands, feet and head have been carved with extremely high detail.
On one of its thumbs, the doll had a key ring inserted of the type used by the Romans for jewelry boxes.
Other toys found in the sarcophagus and part of the doll's kit were two silver mirrors and two tiny bone combs.
The above-mentioned gold ring of the key type, another with a bezel, two tiny pierced pearls part of earrings, a pearl and two glass paste beads, plus remains of golden spirals belonging possibly to a necklace were also part of the doll's kit.
A more precise dating for the death of the girl can be deduced by the style of the bas-relief carved on the short side of her sarcophagus, typical of the coloristic style of Roman sculpture in the years around 170.
The two sarcophagi with the outfit, together with the doll and its kit are now permanently displayed at the Centrale Montemartini museum (part of the Capitoline Museums) at the via Ostiense in Rome.

Minnehaha Trail is a 1.5 mile (2.4 km) paved, multi-use trail in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, that connects Minnehaha Regional Park and Fort Snelling State Park – two of the most popular recreation destinations in the Twin Cities metro area.
The trail received local recognition for its natural beauty, but it was criticized for its worn pavement and lack of signage.
Beginning at its southern end in Fort Snelling State Park near the Thomas C. Savage Visitor Center, the trail is a gentle climb of 272 feet (91 m) through a thick forest with occasional views of the Mississippi River gorge.
Once reaching Minnehaha Regional Park near an off-leash dog park, users may connect to park trails or the regional Grand Rounds trail system.
It is difficult for users to properly identify Minnehaha Trail due to the vast network of multi-use paths in the area, errors by digital mapping services, and lack of signage.
A separate bicycle trail that begins from its northernmost point near Coldwater Spring follows closely alongside Highway 55, allowing a user to travel under the highway near Tower Avenue and Bloomington Road or to reach the parking lots of the upper portion of Fort Snelling State Park and its historic structures.
A steep, unlabeled multi-use trail near the historic fort structure connects the upper and lower portions of Fort Snelling State Park, allowing for connection to multiple trails and routes.
From the upper portion of the park near a chapel, trail users can gain access to the Big Rivers Regional Trail.
Minnehaha Trail is included as a segment of the Mississippi River Trail, or MRT, which is a bicycle route loosely connecting 800 miles of pre-existing roads and trails into a signed course.
But for our money, the most beautiful stretch has to be the Minnehaha Trail, which runs from Minnehaha Park through Fort Snelling State Park….
The Canadian federal budget for fiscal year 1988–1989 was presented to the House of Commons of Canada by finance minister Michael Wilson on 10 February 1988.
It was the fourth budget after the 1984 Canadian federal election and would be the last before the 1988 Canadian federal election.
The budget provides for a reduction of $300 million in non-statutory spending for 1989-90 to keep the deficit in line with the projections made in the June 1987 White Paper on tax reform.
Him and John Turner, leader of the Opposition, strongly criticized the increase in gasoline excise tax and the general fiscal policy of the Mulroney government.
Quebec's finance minister, Gérard D. Levesque declared he was disappointed that the federal government did not reduce its deficit faster and added that deficit reduction should have been the priority of a budget that was more a track record than a budget.
Lastly, the minister expressed his disappointment towards the lack of measures to help families or Quebec's economic development whereas Alberta, Northern Ontario and the Atlantic provinces benefited from significant measures.
In the context of Sitar the mention of Adarang deserves attention.Feroze Khan Adarang was one of the chief musicians in the royal court and is considered as the first musician who introduced sitar in the 18th century through the Delhi court.Nawab Dargha Quli Khan's description of his mehfils in Muraqqa-e- Dehli is taken as the earliest mention yet found of Sitar in Northern India.
As a young man, before reaching the age of majority in 1809, he performed in the Corinthian fashion as a sporting amateur.
In February 1811 Webster was granted arms by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, and later in the month attended a royal levee in which he was presented to the Prince Regent.
It was from the period in 1813 when Byron stayed there with the Websters that a correspondence between Lady Frances and Byron dates: it lasted until the end of his life.
In the Waterloo Campaign of 1815, Webster and his wife Frances attended the Duchess of Richmond's ball on the eve of the battle.
At the beginning of April 1821, Webster administered a public thrashing to Viscount Petersham, the future Charles Stanhope, 4th Earl of Harrington, in St James's Street, London.
There was a press report of the incident on 5 April, and a number of satirical prints appeared on the theme.
After public correspondence, with Thomas Foley, 3rd Baron Foley acting for Petersham, and Colonel Charles Palmer for Webster, the two fought a duel on 21 April in Coombe Wood on the southern edge of London.
Both survived an exchange of shots unharmed, and Webster, attempting to save his marriage (Lady Frances was pregnant at the time), moved to Boulogne with her.
Experiencing financial difficulties during the 1830s, Webster applied after the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 for compensation on his father's Jamaican estate interest, which by 1798 had been in the Fontabelle estate, and also for the Blackheath estate.
She was known as Frances Webster, and Lady Frances Webster with her courtesy title as an Earl's daughter (before her husband's knighthood).
East Worthing is a residential area of Worthing in West Sussex, England, situated immediately to the east of Worthing town centre.
It is bounded by the West Coastway railway line and Broadwater to the north, Brooklands Park to the east, Homefield Park and Worthing town centre to the west and the English Channel coast to the south.
In the 19th century the first few houses in existence were economically dependent on the 18th-century brickworks and two smock mills in the vicinity, both of which existed by 1831.
Gradually, the town expanded to the east, and in the 1860s a church was proposed to serve the area, which had become known as East Worthing.
Large detached villas were built along Farncombe Road and Selden Road and St George's Church was built in 1868 in anticipation of further development to the east.
Significant erosion of the coastline took place over the course of the 19th century, with at least 70 yards of land lost.
The earlier coast road to Lancing was -100 yards to the south of the present day coast road on Brighton Road.
East Worthing lies within the borough of Worthing and mostly lies within Selden ward, which has three councillors that represent the area on Worthing Borough Council.
Buildings of note include those along Farncombe Road, St George's Church (1868) by George Truefitt and the Church of St Charles Borromeo (1962) by Henry Bingham Towner.
The team was coached by Daniel Lynch, who was in his eighteenth year at the helm of the St. Francis Terriers.
Esther 9 is the ninth chapter of the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, The author of the book is unknown and modern scholars have established that the final stage of the Hebrew text would have been formed by the second century BCE.
This chapter records the events on the thirteenth and fourteenth of Adar and the institution of the Purim festival after the Jews overcome their enemies.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes Codex Leningradensis (1008).
Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; formula_1; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: formula_1; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; formula_1; 5th century).
The opening verse of this section explicitly describes the power reversal on the very day that the enemies of the Jews were to have vanquished them, but the opposite happened: 'the Jews would gain power over their foes' (9:1).
A parallel with is that Saul spared Agag, and therefore lost his kingship as well as his life, so this time Esther determined not to make the same mistake with Haman and his sons.
One important point is that they refrained from plundering (this is mentioned three times: , , ), which indicates an echo in Esther 9 of , resuming the parallel set up between Mordecai/Saul and Haman/Agag.
After Saul defeated the Agagites (Amalek), he kept the best sheep and cattle as spoils in disobedience to God's command, thus earned divine disapproval and God regretting the choice of Saul as king.
However, the narrative overall focuses more on the pacific results of the bloodletting, gaining the relief from hostile neighbors (9:1, 16) and the celebration thereafter as the day(s) of rejoicing after the triumphant self-defense ().
The Jews in the Persian empire celebrate on the fourteenth, except those in Susa who celebrate on the fifteenth (verse 18).
The Jews in Susa has a different date of celebration that those outside the city, because there was still fights in Susa until the fourteenth, so the celebration in that city was on the fifteenth.
According to Rabbi Mordechai Neugroschel, there is a code in the Book of Esther which lies in the names of Haman's 10 sons ().
Three of the Hebrew letters—a tav, a shin and a zayin—are written smaller than the rest, while a vav is written larger.
The outsized vav—which represents the number six—corresponds to the sixth millennium of the world since creation, which, according to Jewish tradition, is the period between 1240 and 2240 CE.
In his research, Neugroschel noticed that ten Nazi defendants in the Nuremberg Trials were executed by hanging on October 16, 1946, which was also that year's date of Hoshana Rabbah (21st of Tishrei; the final judgement day of Judaism).
This section, perhaps an addition to the coherent narrative of through , recapitulates the core reversals: relief from persecution, turning 'sorrow into gladness' and 'mourning into a holiday' ().
Mordecai and Esther as officeholders in the Persian empire harnessing 'the resources of the chancellery and the imperial postal system' dispatched a set of letters to Jews in 'all the provinces' (verse 20; cf.
Together they wrote these official letters enjoining Jews to celebrate Purim (verses 29, ), as well as a second letter (verse 29).
Esther's royal authority in establishing Purim is reaffirmed at the end of this section, where she is named as the one establishing the customs of the holiday ().
She became a primary school teacher but in 1986 she gave that up and moved to the United States to live in Boston.
She works as an editor and writer with a number of books, essays, articles and short stories published across the US, the UK and Ireland.
Greaney has worked on National Public Radio, Boston as well as having her work appear in The Boston Globe Magazine, The Feminist Wire, Forbes Women and Salon.com.

The Comet HLLV was a massive super heavy-lift launch vehicle designed for the First Lunar Outpost program which was in the design phase from 1992-1993 under the Space Exploration Initiative.
The Comet would have been capable of injecting 254.4 tons into low earth orbit and 97.6 tons on a TLI making it one of the most capable vehicles ever designed.
The Saturn V derived design consisted of a standard Saturn V but with a new third stage, stretched first and second stages, and new F-1 side boosters.
It would use two 222.5 KN-thrust enignes and would have reduced the size and weight of the lunar injection stage and significantly reduced the size of the vehicle in general.
The baseline study used the chemical engines instead due to the fact that they would cost $2 billion less to develop.
This along with the military's Timberwind project revived the U'S nuclear propulsion program for the first time since NERVA's cancellation in the 70s.
NASA's Marshall Spaceflight Center looked into the Comet rocket or a possible configuration with four F-1A boosters added to the basic 2-stage NLS vehicle.
The main advantage would be that the vehicle could rely on technology currently flying rather than having to resurrect 20 year old tech and manufacturing equipment.

Before leading Mercy For Animals, Garcés founded Compassion in World Farming USA, where she served as executive director and partnered with Panera Bread, Chipotle, Perdue Farms, and other food companies to adopt higher animal welfare standards.
Her work took her around the globe, campaigning against bullfighting in Spain, protecting dolphins taken from Fiji to perform in Mexico, and fighting bear-bile farming in Asia.
In 2014, New York Times journalist Nicholas Kristof broke the story of her collaboration with North Carolina chicken farmer Craig Watts—a contractor for Perdue Farms—who opened his barns to Garcés to film the poor animal welfare conditions.
Shortly after, the story was covered by WIRED, VICE, the Washington Post, Business Insider, Salon, and others and was the subject of a documentary film by Fusion TV.
In 2016, Garcés collaborated with Mike Weaver, at the time a contract chicken farmer for Pilgrim’s Pride, for another exposé in the New York Times by Kristof revealing diseased and injured chickens.
While at Compassion in World Farming USA, Garcés also influenced Chipotle, Trader Joe’s, Panera Bread, and other food companies to improve animal welfare standards in their supply chains.
The organization has worked with numerous celebrities to expose animal cruelty and promote plant-based eating, including Joaquin Phoenix, Bob Barker, Candice Bergen, Daniella Monet, Sarah Jeffery, Felipe Neto, and Eugenio Derbez.
In the book, Garcés details her efforts to reduce animal suffering in the chicken industry by working with whistleblowing chicken farmers to expose inhumane conditions and with large meat and food companies to set higher animal welfare standards.

Dr Samuel Rabbeth (19 August 1858 - 20 October 1884) was a young doctor who died from diphtheria contracted from a child patient whom he tried to save.
He was educated at King's College School, London, and at King's College Hospital and was elected an associate at the College.
He was senior medical officer of the Royal Free Hospital when a four year old child, Leon Rex Jennings, was admitted suffering from diphtheria.
In order to save the child's life it was necessary to perform a tracheotomy, but the windpipe was found to be blocked.
Afterwards he found that he was suffering from diphtheria and died on 20th October surrounded by his relations, friends and colleagues.
He was buried in Barnes Cemetery together with his father and aunt; his career is described in detail on his headstone.
After defending the West of Scotland and later London, the regiment was heavily engaged in Operation Diver against V-1 flying bombs, and later was deployed to Antwerp to carry out anti-Diver duties there in the closing stages of the war.
By 1941, after two years of war Anti-Aircraft Command, tasked with defending the UK against air attack, was suffering a manpower shortage.
In April its commander-in-chief, Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick 'Tim' Pile, proposed to overcome this by utilising the women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS).
The ATS was by law a non-combatant service, but it was decided that Defence Regulations permitted the employment of women in anti-aircraft (AA) roles other than actually firing the guns.
They worked the radar and plotting instruments, range-finders and predictors, ran command posts and communications, and carried out many other duties.
With the increasing automation of heavy AA (HAA) guns, including gun-laying, fuze-setting and ammunition loading under remote control from the predictor, the question of who actually fired the gun became blurred as the war progressed.
The ATS rank and file, if not always their officers, took to the new role with enthusiasm and 'Mixed' batteries and regiments with the ATS supplying two-thirds of their personnel quickly proved a success.
By early 1942 the training regiments were turning out a regular stream of Mixed HAA batteries, which AA Command formed into regiments to take the place of the all-male units being sent to overseas theatres of war.
By the end of May 1942 the regiment had joined 57 AA Brigade in 12th AA Division, which was responsible for the air defence of the West of Scotland.
The regiment transferred within 12th AA Division to the command of 42 AA Bde in August, and became unbrigaded in September.
On 22 August 1942, 554 (M) HAA Bty left the regiment to form the basis of a new 170th (M) HAA Rgt forming in 42 AA Bde at Johnstone, Renfrewshire, in Scotland.
On 26 October, 579 (M) HAA Bty joined 155th HAA Rgt to bring it back to a strength of four batteries.
At the beginning of October 1942, AA Command was reorganised, the AA divisions being disbanded and replaced by larger AA Groups.
By early November, 155th (M) HAA Rgt came under the command of 48 AA Bde in 1 AA Group covering the London Inner Artillery Zone (IAZ).
A few sporadic attacks were made on London during 1943, by conventional bombers at night on 17 January, 3 March and 16 April, by daylight Fighter-bombers on 12 March, and by night again on 7 and 20 October.
By now the night fighter defences and the London IAZ were well organised and the attackers suffered heavy losses for relatively small results.
Five raids in the third week of February varying in strength from 100 to 140 aircraft were met by intense AA fire from the Thames Estuary in to the IAZ and fewer than half reached the city; 13 were shot down by AA Command, 15 by the Royal Air Force, and one 'kill' was shared.
A week after Operation Overlord began on D-Day (6 June), the Germans began launching V-1 flying bombs, codenamed 'Divers', against London.
Defences had been planned against this new form of attack (Operation Diver), but the missiles' small size, high speed and awkward height presented a severe problem for AA guns and the initial results were disappointing.
After a fortnight AA Command changed its tactics: the HAA gun belt was moved to the coast and interlaced with Light AA guns to hit the missiles out to sea, where the gun-laying radar worked best and where a 'downed' V-1 would cause no damage.
This new belt was divided into six brigade sectors under 2 AA Group, 57 AA Bde taking charge of one sector, with 155th (M) HAA Rgt under command from early August.
The whole process involved the movement of hundreds of guns and vehicles and thousands of servicemen and women, but a new 8-gun site could be established in 48 hours.
After moving the mobile 3.7-inch HAA guns to the coast, these were progressively replaced by the static Mark IIC model, which had power traverse that could more quickly track the fast-moving targets, accompanied by the most sophisticated Radar No 3 Mark V (the SCR-584 radar set) and No 10 Predictor (the all-electric Bell Labs AAA Computer).
The guns were constantly in action, but success rates against the 'Divers' steadily improved, until over 50 per cent of incoming missiles were destroyed by gunfire or fighter aircraft.
This phase of Operation Diver ended in September after the V-1 launch sites in Northern France had been overrun by 21st Army Group.
Once 21st Army Group had captured Brussels and Antwerp, these cities became targets for V-1s launched from within Germany, and anti-Diver or 'X' defences had to be established.
AA Command's experience had shown that the power-operated, remotely controlled Mk IIC 3.7-inch gun, with automatic fuze-setting, SCR 584 radar and Predictor No 10 were required to deal effectively with V-1s, but 21st Army Group's mobile HAA units did not have experience with this equipment.
In December the first overseas deployment of Mixed HAA units began, and 155th (M) HAA Rgt was one of those selected.
The war establishment of an HAA regiment on service overseas was three batteries, so 537 (M) HAA Bty left to become independent on 16 November (it disbanded on 10 December).
The regiment arrived at Antwerp in January 1945, taking over Mk IIC 3.7-inch guns on Pile platforms in bitter weather with inadequate hutting, and were immediately in action against the onslaught of V-1s.
The Antwerp 'X' defences under 80 AA Bde involved an outer line of Wireless Observer Units sited to in front of the guns to give 8 minutes' warning, then Local Warning (LW) stations positioned half way, equipped with radar to begin plotting individual missiles.
Finally there was an inner belt of Observation Posts (OPs), about in front of the guns to give visual confirmation that the tracked target was a missile.
The success rate of the X defences had been low at first, but after the arrival of Mk IIC guns and experienced crews from AA Command the results improved considerably, with best results in February and March 1945.
The number of missiles launched at Antwerp peaked at 623 a week in February, but dropped rapidly as 21st Army Group continued its advance, and in the last week of action the AA defences destroyed 97.5 per cent of those reaching the defence belt.
While the male members of the regiment wore the Royal Artillery's 'gun' cap badge, the women wore the ATS cap badge, but in addition they wore the RA's 'grenade' collar badge as a special badge above the left breast pocket of the tunic.
The player starts out as a human who turned into a Pokémon, which can be one of sixteen Pokémon (Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Chikorita, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Pikachu, Eevee, Machop, Cubone, Psyduck, Meowth, and Skitty) and is determined by a personality quiz taken at the beginning of the game.
The game is mission-based with many jobs, which can be found on the bulletin board, requested by mail, or initiated through story events, and include rescuing Pokémon, delivering items, and escorting clients.
While going through the dungeon, the player gets hungry and has to eat food, either found in the dungeon or bought in advance.
However, supplementary allies (including the partner, after the credits) can be lost, at which point they will return to the base.
Route 81, also known as Markland Road, is a north–south highway on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland, connecting the towns of Colinet and Whitbourne via Markland.
Route 81 begins along the banks of the Colinet River in Colinet at an intersection with Route 91 (Old Placentia Highway).
It heads north to leave Colinet and become a gravel road as it passes through hilly terrain for the next several kilometers.
Route 81 continues north to pass along the banks of Junction Pond to enter Whitbourne, where it passes through neighborhoods before making a sharp left onto Main Road in downtown.
It now passes by several businesses and passes through some more rural areas before coming to an end at an interchange between Route 1 (Trans Canada Highway, Exit 28), and Route 80 (Trinity Road).

Rosemary Wynnis Madigan (5 December 1926 – 12 February 2019) was an Australian sculptor, stonecarver and woodcarver who focused on the human figure.
Born in Glenelg to the geologist Cecil Madigan, she decided on a career as a sculptor at the age of 12 and studied in schools in Adelaide and Sydney.
Madigan was in a working partnership with the constructivist sculptor Robert Klippel until the latter's death in 2001 and won the Wynne Prize for a carved sandstone torso in 1986.
She grew up in the Adelaide suburb of Blackwood and became interested in her father's small collection of Aboriginal artefacts as well as a preoccupation with the solid world and wanted to observe objects.
In 1938, she stopped going to school because of illness, and decided to become a sculptor at the age of 12, attending the Girls Central Art School in 1939.
Madigan went to night classes in drawing at the East Sydney Technical College (later the National Art School) and was taught by Liz Blaxland.
Madigan returned to Adelaide in 1944 and did a further three years of evening classes at the South Australian School of Art, while gaining employment at an department store.
Madigan went back to the East Sydney Technical College, to complete a diploma in Fine Art under Dadswell's tutelage the following year.
In 1950, Madigan was awarded the three-year New South Wales Travelling Scholarship by Bob Heffron, the Minister for Education, and becoming the third sculpture in history to receive the award.
Madigan travelled to London to study a diploma in carving at the John Cass College from 1952 to 1953 and acquaint herself with post-war British sculpture.
This included a year in Italy, using an automatic drill for the first time in 1952, and spending three weeks drawing the sculptures of the Indian Ellora Caves.
After returning to Adelaide in 1953, Madigan taught pottery, painting and sculpture at multiple schools and the School of Art from the 1950s to the 1960s.
She completed her first sculpture upon her departure to Australia in Torso in 1954 as part of her desire to understand and articulate the human body.
Madigan conceived and designed the St Mark for the Downer fountain at the St. Mark's College, North Adelaide in 1964 and then Yellow Christ and the limewood Eingana that coalesced Aboriginal Australian and European religious and spiritual iconographies four years later.
She moved back to Sydney in 1973, and began to teach sculpture at the East Sydney Technical College and at the Sculpture Centre.
During this time, Madigan developed an interest in assemblage and collage with a wooden machine before returning to wood carving and stone carving.
Madigan received grants from the Australia Council between 1976 to 1985, and won the Wynne Prize for a carved sandstone torso in 1986.
In 1992, Madigan and Klippel's joint work of a major survey was exhibited at Carrick Hill, South Australia, and produced a work for display at an exhibition held at the Art Gallery of New South Wales three years later.
She moved near to the rural town of Yass, New South Wales in 2001, and established a collage and drawing studio and a out of doors space for carving.
Madigan continued to work until she was 92 and made her last public appearance at the National Gallery of Australia late in 2018.
She was highly interested in the humanist tradition, had an independent mind, and supported the United Kingdom's thought of truth of material.
The Art Gallery of New South Wales hold a collection of Madigan's documents, personal papers, files on group and solo editions, press reviews and works.

44 Union Square, also known as 100 East 17th Street and the Tammany Hall Building, is a three-story building at 44 Union Square East in Union Square, Manhattan, in New York City.
The neo-Georgian structure was erected in 1928–1929 and designed by architects Thompson, Holmes & Converse and Charles B. Meyers for the Tammany Society political organization, also known as Tammany Hall.
At the time of the building's commission, the Tammany Society was at its maximum political popularity with members such as U.S. senator Robert F. Wagner, governor Al Smith, and mayor Jimmy Walker.
However, after Tammany Hall lost its influence in the 1930s, the building was sold to an affiliate of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union in 1943.
By the 1980s, it was used by the Union Square Theatre, while the New York Film Academy took space in 1994.
By the first decade of the 20th century, Union Square in Manhattan had grown into a major transportation hub with several elevated and surface railroad lines running nearby, and the New York City Subway's 14th Street–Union Square station having opened four years prior.
The office structures included the Everett Building, erected at the northwest corner of Park Avenue South and 17th Street in 1908; the Germania Life Insurance Company Building, erected at the northeast corner of the same intersection in 1910-1911; and the Consolidated Gas (later Con Edison) Building, constructed three blocks south at 14th Street between 1910 and 1914.
By the 1920s, the remaining buildings in Union Square were occupied by theaters, while most buildings on the eastern part of the square were owned by department stores S. Klein and Ohrbach's.
The previous headquarters of Tammany Hall, a prominent Democratic Party political organization in New York City, had been located on 14th Street next to the Consolidated Gas Building.
The organization—named after Tamanend, the chief of the Lenape that originally occupied New York City—extensively used Native American titles and terminology, for instance referring to their headquarters as a wigwam.
As originally proposed, the Tammany Hall Building was an American colonial style building, measuring on 17th Street by on Union Square East, with storefronts on the ground floor and a 1,200-seat auditorium.
At the time of the announcement, the society's members included state senators Robert F. Wagner and Al Smith: the former would become U.S. senator for New York, while the latter would become the state's governor and 1932 presidential candidate.
In January 1928, a month after the purchase of the site, Charles B. Meyers was selected along with Thompson, Holmes & Converse as the building's architects.
Construction progressed quickly, without any cornerstone-laying ceremony to mark the start of work, and by December much of the structure was substantially complete.
The New York County Democratic Committee, a club for Democratic officials representing New York County (Manhattan), started using the new structure on January 2, 1929, and the ceremonial cornerstone was laid the next week, marking the completion of the facade.
Although Roosevelt was also a Democrat, he did did not regard the organization highly, opening several corruption investigations into the organization.
Roosevelt's election to U.S. president in 1933, as well as the election of Republican mayoral candidate Fiorello H. La Guardia the same year, contributed to the downfall of the Tammany Society.
Local 91, a local affiliate of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU), was simultaneously looking for a new headquarters and offered to purchase the structure in April 1943.
Tammany's leaders moved to the National Democratic Club on Madison Avenue at East 33rd Street, and the Society's collection of memorabilia went into a warehouse in the Bronx.
The ILGWU enlarged the stage and furnished the offices, officially rededicating the building on December 18, 1943, at an event with several leaders including mayors La Guardia and Jimmy Walker.
For instance, in the 1950s the auditorium was used for meetings of firefighters; gardeners, municipal laborers, and sewage workers; and sanitation workers.
The United Federation of Teachers held meetings at the Roosevelt Auditorium in 1960 to resolve a citywide teachers' strike, and again in October 1968 to approve the Ocean Hill/Brownsville teachers' strike.
Additionally, several unions in the private sector often met at the Roosevelt Auditorium, such as those of newspaper delivery people; drivers of taxicabs in fleets; hospital workers; and Teamsters unions.
In 1969, the auditorium was also the location of a high-profile disagreement between two Central Labor Council leaders, who endorsed opposing candidates in the 1969 New York City mayoral election.
After Feist mentioned that the lease theater's premises at 23rd Street was about to expire, Local 91 leased 44 Union Square to Roundabout in June 1984.
As part of the $850,000 renovation, the theater was split in half from west to east, reducing its capacity to 499 seats.
Though the renovated theater was originally slated to open in late 1984, the conversion of the space was delayed by several months.
44 Union Square was then leased in June 1994 by Alan Schuster and Mitchell Maxwell, who also operated the Minetta Lane Theatre in Greenwich Village.
In preparation for converting the space for use by the Union Square Theatre, Schuster and Maxwell renovated the interior, painting the dome a sky-blue hue, and replacing the seats' upholstery with burgundy materials.
The building started housing the New York Film Academy in July 1994, and the Union Square Theatre held its first performance in the space that November.
The air rights above the building were sold to another Reading Company subsidiary in 2005, giving the company the right to theoretically erect another structure above 44 Union Square.
Though preservationists had been advocating for the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) to designate 44 Union Square an official city landmark since the 1980s, the ILGWU had been indifferent toward landmark status.
The LPC designated it as a city landmark in October 2013, following public meetings in which 17 people expressed support and no one opposed the designation.
As part of the renovation, a glass dome was to be added to the building, though these plans were denied by the LPC in 2014.
The Tammany Hall Building, a -story neo-Georgian building, measures on its western facade along Union Square East, and on its northern facade along 17th Street.
The particular neo-Georgian features in the Tammany Hall Building include Flemish bond brickwork; rectangular windows with stone keystones, set in arched openings; and wrought-iron balconies.
The bracketed gable, on the pediment above the portico, is not of neo-Georgian design but was likely inspired by a niche on the facade of the 14th Street building.
The exterior design features are evocative of government buildings in the American colonial and Federal styles that were built in the later 19th century, when the society was founded.
These features include a first level above a raised basement; a portico on Union Square East, with a pediment supported by columns in the Doric order; a hip roof; and a frieze running along the top of the structure.
According to a commemorative publication from the Tammany Society, these features were inspired by the design of Federal Hall in Lower Manhattan, as well as by Somerset House in London.
The Tammany Hall Building was one of several structures built in New York City in the early 20th century, whose designs were inspired by government buildings.
Other such structures included The Town Hall in Times Square, the Museum of the City of New York in the Upper East Side, and the Staten Island Museum in St. George, Staten Island.
On Union Square East, within the center of the first floor, was the entrance to the commercial space on the first floor.
In the round-arched gable of the pediment, above the portico, there is a panel depicting arrows intertwined with an olive branch, which flank Tammany Hall's circular logo.
On 17th Street, there is a set of triple arches in the center of the first floor, which originally provided egress from the building's auditorium.
The main entrance to the theater and elevator lobby was located to the right (west) side of the arches, and a similar arch grouping was located to the left (east).
The Tammany Society had exclusive use of the third floor, which included a central lounge, a club room, office and meeting rooms, and various waiting rooms.

Herbivores do increase bio-diversity by consuming dominant plant species, but they can also prefer eating subordinate species according to plants’ palatability and quality.
In addition to the preference of herbivores, herbivores' effects on plant diversity are also influenced by other factors, defense trade-off theory, the predator-prey interaction, and inner traits of the environment and herbivores.
Even in the absence of defensive trade-offs, herbivores may still be able to increase plant diversity, such as herbivores prefer subordinate species rather than dominant species.
The existence of herbivores can increase plant diversity by reducing the abundance of dominant species, redundant resources then can be used by subordinate species.
Body size of herbivores is a key reason underlying the interaction between herbivores and plant diversity, and the body size explains many of the phenomena connected to herbivore-plant interaction.
Intermediate-sized herbivores mostly increase plant diversity by consuming or influencing the dominant plant species, such as herbivore birds, that can directly use dominant plant species.
The impeachment of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, occurred on December 18, 2019, when the House of Representatives approved articles of impeachment on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Trump's impeachment came after a formal House inquiry found that he had solicited foreign interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election to help his re-election bid, and then obstructed the inquiry itself by telling his administration officials to ignore subpoenas for documents and testimony.
The inquiry reported that Trump withheld military aid and an invitation to the White House to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky in order to influence Ukraine to announce an investigation of Trump's political opponent, Joe Biden, and to promote a discredited conspiracy theory that Ukraine, not Russia, was behind interference in the 2016 presidential election.
The president is accused of withholding military aid to pressure Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to start a corruption investigation into Biden, and his son Hunter.
The inquiry stage of Trump's impeachment lasted from September to November 2019, in the wake of an August 2019 whistleblower complaint alleging Trump's abuse of power.
In November, the House Intelligence Committee held a number of public hearings in which witnesses testified publicly; on December 3, the committee voted 13–9 along party lines to adopt a final report.
A set of impeachment hearings before the House Judiciary Committee began on December 4; on December 13, it voted 23–17 along party lines to recommend two articles of impeachment, for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Two days later, the full House approved both articles in a near-party-line vote, with all Republicans opposing along with three Democrats.
Donald Trump is the third U.S. president to be impeached by the House of Representatives, after Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1999.
The House Judiciary Committee also voted to adopt three articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon, but he resigned prior to the full House vote.
Following the 2018 elections, the Democrats gained a majority in the House and launched multiple investigations into Trump's actions and finances.
In May 2019, however, she indicated that Trump's continued actions, which she characterized as obstruction of justice and refusal to honor congressional subpoenas, might make an impeachment inquiry necessary.
Investigations into various scandals in the Trump administration, which might lead to articles of impeachment, were initiated by various house congressional committees, led by Nancy Pelosi, and began in February 2019.
The Trump–Ukraine scandal revolves around alleged efforts by U.S. president Donald Trump to illegally coerce Ukraine and other foreign countries into providing damaging narratives about 2020 Democratic Party presidential primary candidate Joe Biden as well as information relating to Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.
Trump allegedly enlisted surrogates within and outside his official administration, including his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr, to pressure Ukraine and other foreign governments to cooperate in investigating conspiracy theories concerning American politics.
A number of contacts were established between the White House and the government of Ukraine, culminating in a phone call between Trump and Zelensky on July 25, 2019.
Less than two hours later, on behalf of the president, senior executive budget official Michael Duffey discreetly instructed the Pentagon to continue withholding military aid to Ukraine.
A non-verbatim transcript of the Trump–Zelensky call confirmed that Trump requested investigations into Joe Biden and his son Hunter, as well as a discredited conspiracy theory involving a Democratic National Committee server, while repeatedly urging Zelensky to work with Giuliani and Barr on these matters.
The Trump administration's top diplomat to Ukraine, Bill Taylor, testified that he was told U.S. military aid to Ukraine and a Trump–Zelensky White House meeting were conditioned on Zelensky publicly announcing investigations into the Bidens and alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections.
On the evening of September 24, 2019, Pelosi announced that six committees of the House of Representatives would begin a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump.
The six committees charged with the task were those on Financial Services, the Judiciary, Intelligence, Foreign Affairs, Oversight and Reform, and Ways and Means.
In October 2019, three congressional committees (Intelligence, Oversight, and Foreign Affairs) deposed witnesses including Ambassador Taylor, Laura Cooper (the deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russian, Ukrainian and Eurasian affairs), and former White House official Fiona Hill.
Witnesses testified that they believed that President Trump wanted Zelensky to publicly announce investigations into the Bidens and Burisma (a Ukrainian natural gas company on whose board Hunter Biden had served) and 2016 election interference.
On October 8, in a letter from White House counsel Pat Cipollone to House speaker Pelosi, the White House officially responded that it would not cooperate with the investigation due to concerns including that there had not yet been a vote of the full House and that interviews of witnesses were being conducted behind closed doors.
This resolution, formally authorizing the impeachment inquiry, was approved by the House on October 31, 2019, by a vote of 232 to 196.
Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, the National Security Council's head of European affairs, and Jennifer Williams, Vice President Mike Pence's chief European security adviser, testified together on the morning of November 19, 2019.
Later the same day, Kurt Volker, the former U.S. special representative for Ukraine, and Tim Morrison, the former national security presidential adviser on Europe and Russia, gave public testimony before the House Intelligence Committee.
Later the same day, Cooper and David Hale, who serves as the under secretary of state for political affairs, testified jointly before the committee.
On December 3, the House Intelligence Committee voted 13–9 along party lines to adopt a final report and also send it to the House Judiciary Committee.
The report's preface states:[T]he impeachment inquiry has found that President Trump, personally and acting through agents within and outside of the U.S. government, solicited the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, to benefit his reelection.
In furtherance of this scheme, President Trump conditioned official acts on a public announcement by the new Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, of politically-motivated investigations, including one into President Trump's domestic political opponent.
In pressuring President Zelensky to carry out his demand, President Trump withheld a White House meeting desperately sought by the Ukrainian President, and critical U.S. military assistance to fight Russian aggression in eastern Ukraine.
The Republicans of the House committees had released a countering report the previous day, saying in part that the evidence does not support accusations.
During the inquiry, the Trump administration's public arguments were limited to assertions the president had done nothing wrong and the process was unfair.
The witnesses invited by Democrats were law professors Noah Feldman from Harvard, Pamela S. Karlan from Stanford, and Michael Gerhardt from the University of North Carolina.
Republicans invited Jonathan Turley, a constitutional scholar at George Washington University; Turley, who had testified in favor of the impeachment of President Bill Clinton in 1999, testified against impeaching Trump, citing a lack of evidence.
On December 10, 2019, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee announced that they would levy two articles of impeachment, designated H. Res.
The committee planned to vote on the articles on December 12, but postponed it to the next day after the 14-hour partisan debate on the final versions of the articles lasted until after 11:00 p.m. EST.
On December 13, the Judiciary Committee voted along party lines to pass both articles of impeachment; both articles passed 23–17, with all Democrats present voting in support and all Republicans voting in opposition.
The articles were forwarded to the full House for debate and a vote on whether to impeach the president on December 18.
The first of three votes was on the rules governing debate: 228 to 197, with all Republicans and two Democrats voting no.
One of the highlights of this contentious event was Barry Loudermilk (R-Georgia) comparing the impeachment inquiry of President Trump to the trial of Jesus Christ, saying that the Christian savior was treated far better by the authorities.
Three soon-to-be-retiring representatives did not vote: Duncan D. Hunter (R-California), who was banned from voting under the House's rules after pleading guilty to illegally using campaign funds; José E. Serrano (D-New York), who had a health setback after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease earlier in the year; and John Shimkus (R-Illinois), who was visiting his son in Tanzania.
Trump has questioned the validity of the impeachment, citing Harvard law professor Noah Feldman, who argues that the impeachment has technically not taken place until the articles are handed to the Senate.
Trump tweeted or retweeted over 20 messages criticizing Pelosi's handling of the impeachment during the first week of his holiday vacation to Mar-a-Lago.
Prior to the House impeachment vote, both McConnell and Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Lindsey Graham expressed their intentions not to be impartial jurors, contrary to the oath they must take.
On December 15 and with the support of all 47 Senate Democrats, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer wrote a letter to McConnell calling for Mick Mulvaney, Robert Blair, John Bolton, and Michael Duffey to testify, and suggested that pre-trial proceedings take place on January 6, 2020.
Republicans have suggested calling Joe and Hunter Biden to testify; the former stated his objection to this but said he would obey a subpoena.
On January 7, 2020, McConnell announced that he had the caucus backing to pass a blueprint for the trial, which discusses witnesses and evidence after the opening arguments.
Pelosi called for the resolution to be published before she could proceed with the next steps, but McConnell asserted that the House had no leverage and that there would be no negotiating over the trial.
On January 15, the House voted on Resolution 798, which appointed the impeachment managers and approved the articles of impeachment to be sent to the Senate.
With the exception of the managers, who will conduct the trial, the House's involvement in the impeachment process came to an end.
On October 8, 2019, he led a meeting on the subject, advising his caucus to say that they opposed the House process and as little else as possible.
On December 12, as the articles were being considered by the House Judiciary Committee, McConnell met with White House counsel Pat Cipollone and Director of Legislative Affairs Eric Ueland.
McConnell added that the coordination with the White House would also pertain to whether witnesses would be allowed to testify, and told Fox News's Sean Hannity that there was no chance that Trump would be convicted, expressing his hope that all Senate Republicans would acquit the president of both charges.
The House managers, acting as prosecutors for the case, are lead manager Adam Schiff (D-CA), Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Val Demings (D-FL), Jason Crow (D-CO), and Sylvia Garcia (D-TX).
At the end of the January 21 session, the Senate voted along party lines to pass McConnell's proposed trial rules and reject 11 amendments proposed by Democrats.
McConnell has stated that he wants to follow the rules laid down in 1999, which had the morning reserved for Senate business and the afternoon hours reserved for the trial, but his resolution increased the hours spent per day on opening arguments from 6 to 8 hours.
The primary arguments were a lack of direct evidence of wrongdoing, and that Democrats were attempting to use the impeachment to steal the 2020 election.
The possible penalties for conviction are the removal from office and disqualification from holding office in the future, but the Senate would likely conduct separate votes for these.
This means that Trump could be removed from office and still be able to continue running for re-election in the 2020 presidential race, or that he could remain in office, but be barred from re-election.
As of mid-January 2020, Americans remained sharply divided on whether Trump should be removed from office, with Democrats largely supporting removal, Republicans largely opposing, and independents divided.
A CNN poll conducted on December 12–15 also found 45% supported impeachment and removal, compared to 47% who opposed the idea.
A Gallup poll released on the day of Trump's impeachment found that Trump's approval rating increased by 6 points during the impeachment process, while support for the impeachment fell.
Another CNN poll conducted on January 16–19, 2020, the first major one after the impeachment trial began, found that 51% supported Trump's removal from office, compared to 45% who opposed the idea.
Tarlac Montessori School (commonly referred to as TMS or Monté) is a Catholic school established in Tarlac City, Philippines in 1987, and it is named after the physician and educator Maria Montessori.
The Tarlac Montessori school had its first location at Masagana Building, F. Tañedo Street, and in 1991 the school moved to an expanded building in San Sebastian, Tarlac city to accommodate its growing student population.
The film premiered at the San Sebastián International Film Festival in 2017 and was given a release in the U.S. in 2019.
During the French coup d'état of 1851, all the adult men of a small rural village are rounded up, leaving the women behind to fend for themselves.
After months pass with no word from the men, the women believe they are dead and become concerned that no men at all have passed by.
The younger women make a pact that if a man should come through, they will share him equally so that they might have children.
However Violette, the young woman chose to look after him, admits that all the men have been arrested and learns in return that Napoleon has declared himself emperor and all the prisoners have either died or been deported.
He seems to show a preference for Violette, and the other women who have made the pact with her urge Violette to seduce Jean so that he will stay.
Violette and Jean become lovers, and soon the other women begin to pressure Violette to remember their pact and to bring up the subject with Jean.
After he disappears for a day, Violette goes through his things and discovers that he is in hiding and thus cannot leave.
But Jean, realizing that his future is uncertain, and that Violette has a strong and supportive community around her, departs the village unannounced, leaving Violette a letter explaining himself and promising to write once he is settled.
Chang Do-yong (also romanized as Jang Do-young; ; 23 January 1923 – 3 August 2012) was a South Korean general, politician and professor who, as the Army Chief of Staff, played a decisive role in the May 16 coup and was the first chairman of the interim Supreme Council for National Reconstruction for a short time until his imprisonment.
He graduated from the history department of Toyo University, planning to become a teacher, but later served as an officer in China.
Chang first learned of the coup from Park Chung-hee on 10 April 1961, who wanted him to lead the new government so that the entire military would support it.
In addition, Chang later convinced then-prime minister Chang Myon, that a security report containing leaked details of the coup (when it was scheduled to occur on May 12) was unreliable.
At his peak, Chang occupied four positions: chairman of the Supreme Council, prime minister defense minister, and army chief of staff.
Through May 1961, he attempted to gain recognition of the new government from the United States, meeting with John F. Kennedy on 24 May and promising a transfer to civilian control by 15 August (a priority for the US and president in name only Yun Posun, who Chang wanted to remain in office) on 31 May.
These moves quickly made him unpopular with the rest of the military leaders, who saw him as a threat to their power and the goals of the coup.
In June, after winning the acceptance of the US, Park and his followers turned the tide against Chang by implementing laws to restrict his influence.
On July 3, Chang, the ten MPs posted around him for security, and forty-four other officers were arrested on charges of conspiring to execute a countercoup.
Before his trial, Chang had already made it clear that he would flee to the United States, a move his persecutors didn't object to.
Chang claimed that he had visited South Korea in 1968 and met with Park as well as troops who participated in the Vietnam War.
He taught at La Trobe University before joining the faculty at Monash University as professor of Asian languages and studies, where he was granted emeritus status upon retirement.
In Taiwan, he was known as Chia Po (), a simplified transliteration of his surname, or by the nickname Big Beard ().
J. Bruce Jacobs was born on 19 September 1943 in the United States, and educated at Columbia University, where he earned bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees.
In 1980, Jacobs was detained for three months, and falsely accused of involvement in the stabbing death of Lin Yi-hsiung's mother, as well as the born to Lin and Fang Su-min.
Jacobs received the Order of Brilliant Star with Grand Cordon from the government of the Republic of China in November 2018, and was named a member of the Order of Australia in the 2019 Queen's Birthday Honours.
While writing for that publication, he argued that a paradigm shift was necessary in Taiwanese politics and diplomatic efforts, while comparing the one-China policy to the flat Earth model.
Jacobs also opined on the teaching of Taiwanese history, the Senkaku Islands dispute, territorial disputes in the South China Sea, and Cross-Strait as well as foreign relations of Taiwan.
Many of Jacobs' writings took the form of an open letter in which he discussed a wide array of topics relating to politics in Taiwan.
Such letters were specifically addressed to Taiwanese politicians Wang Ching-feng, Ma Ying-jeou, and generally to Taiwanese people, as well as Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau and Qantas chief executive officer Alan Joyce.
Although his father encouraged him to also become a teacher, Walter focused his studies on musical instruments, including piano, cello, organ, and French horn.
At the age of 17, he was accepted as a student for music theory and conducting at the Semperoper opera house in Dresden.
After completing his education, he volunteered for the state theater in Gotha, after which he moved to the Reußisch-Fürstliche Theater in Gera.
Walter moved to Berlin, where he studied the techniques of silent film accompaniment from Giuseppe Becce; however, with the advent of sound film, his career as silent film accompanist never came to fruition.
When the National Socialists came to power, Walter avoided all contact with the party and military, which helped him receive a position as a freelancer for the Rundfunksender Leipzig radio station.
He lived in the Netherlands for a short period of time with his wife, where he was unable to find work as an expatriate from Germany.
Walter Fried's success as a composer led to his name being compiled in Adolf Hitler's infamous August 1944 Gottbegnadeten list, which venerated artists important to the Nazi party.
After the reunification of Germany, Walter's hometown of Ottendorf-Okrilla honored him as an exemplary citizen, and after his death in 1996, the town commemorated a street in his honor.

The Dabie-Sulu orogeny also termed Qinling-Dabie-Sulu or Dabie Shan-Sulu was a mountain building event in the Triassic from 240 to 220 million years ago caused by the collision of the North China and South China cratons.
It extends 2000 kilometers (1250 miles) from the Tanlu fault zone between Shanghai and Wuhan in modern-day China to the Qaidam basin north of the Tibetan Plateau.
In fact, the Dabie-Sulu orogen is part of the larger Central China orogeny, extending through the Kunlun Range, Qinling Range, Tongbai-Dabie Range.
Although it is offset by the Tan-Lu fault zone, it stretches through the Sulu region of the Shandong Peninsula and reaches South Korea.
The China Continental Scientific Drilling Project was approved in China's ninth Five-Year Plan in 1997, with the CCSD-1 well inaugurated on 25 June 2001 drilling into the Dabie-Sulu orogen at Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province.
The goal of the project throughout the 2000s was to collect data about rheology and mantle mineralogy, as well as study processes similar to those in the center of the Himalayas, but at lower cost.
Prominent supporters of President Donald Trump have, without evidence, promoted the theory that Chalupa's past activities were part of a conspiracy between the DNC and the Ukrainian government to undermine Trump's campaign and, later, to frame the Russian government for the hacking of the DNC during the 2016 US presidential campaign.
Tanya's and Leo's parents brought them to the United States as children seeking asylum from the Soviet Union, and they grew up in the Bronx, New York.
As a couple, they moved to California, where Leo earned a PhD in neuroscience from UCLA and became a professor at UC Davis.
When Chalupa was 2–1/2, her life was saved by a child car seat when her parent's car spun out of control and crashed while traversing the Alps in Italy.
The incident led her mother to single-handedly wage a successful 2-year lobbying campaign in the California legislature for a mandatory child safety seat law that passed in 1982.
After Donald Trump launched his presidential campaign in 2015, she expanded her research to include Trump and his ties to Russia.
She also shared her concerns with a senior DNC official, saying that a connection between the Trump campaign and Russia would likely mean Manafort would become involved in the election.
Near the end of March, she visited the Ukrainian embassy in Washington, D.C., to organize an event in June highlighting female Ukrainian leaders.
The day after the campaign announced Manafort's joining, Chalupa briefed the DNC's communications staff on Manafort's and Trump's ties to Russia.
A week later, Chalupa met with a foreign policy legislative assistant to Representative Marcy Kaptur in a failed attempt to start a congressional investigation into Manafort's activities.
He began repeating the story in 2019 to U.S. right-wing media, Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and House Intelligence Committee minority chair Devin Nunes.
The conservative watchdog group Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust filed a complaint against Chalupa and the DNC with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) in August 2017.
The complaint alleges that the research assistance the Ukrainian embassy provided to her during the 2016 election campaign was an illegal campaign contribution to the DNC because of her work for them at the time.
The pro-Trump super PAC Committee to Defend the President filed a similar FEC complaint against the DNC in September 2019, alleging that the DNC ordered Chalupa to investigate Manafort and Trump.
Senator Chuck Grassley urged the Department of Justice (DOJ) on two occasions to investigate alleged coordination between Chalupa and the Ukrainian government to interfere in the 2016 election.
Grassley and Senator Ron Johnson sent a second letter in September 2019 in their capacities as the chairs of the Senate Finance and Homeland Security Committees.
During the US Congress' 2019 Impeachment Inquiry hearings, House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes several times cited Alexandra Chalupa as a fact witness that committee chairman Adam Schiff refused to bring before the committee.
Chalupa responded that she would welcome the opportunity to testify and push back against the Republican narrative about her involvement with Ukrainian officials.
There is no evidence that Ukrainian embassy officials helped Chalupa in any significant way or that the DNC used any information obtained by Chalupa to aid Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign against Trump.

The Selennyakh Range extends from NNW to SSE for almost north of the northern end of the Moma Range and east of the Khadaranya Range.
It is parallel to the latter and separated from it by the Moma-Selennyakh Depression, a wide intermontane basin, where the Selennyakh River flows and that continues southeastwards along the western side of the Moma Range.
To the northeast it connects with the Kyun-Tas, at the western end of the Polousny Range, and to the northwest with the far north of the Chersky mountain system.
The highest point of the Selennyakh Range is the Saltag-Tas (Салтага-Тас), a high ultra-prominent ridge located in the southern part, nearly to the south of Deputatsky.
Other subranges of the wider Selennyakh are the Nemkuchan Range in the northeast —a small ridge along the river of the same name facing the Kyun-Tas, the Esteriktyakh-Tas in the east, and the Tommot Massif and Andrey-Tas at the southern end.
The main rivers of the range are the Uyandina and Selennyakh rivers, both left tributaries of the Indigirka, as well as the Chondon, which flows northwards into the Laptev Sea.
The river valleys of the range have sparse larch forests, and above there is a narrow pre-tundra belt in which alder and dwarf cedar predominate.
The Chonos Metamorphic Complex, Madre de Dios Accretionary Complex and Diego de Almagro Complex all outcrop west of the South Patagonian Batholith.
Some researchers proposed that during the Permian, the supercontinent Gondwana moved rapidly northward leading to the formation of back-arc marginal basins.
At it is the highest mountain in the Selennyakh Range, part of the wider Chersky Range (Momsko-Chersk Region), East Siberian System.
It continues from the end of Sunshine Valley Road, cutting through the street grid of Moss Beach to its mouth near the mouth of San Vicente Creek.
The Insel orogeny was a mountain building event in the late Archean, 2.65 billion years ago, in what is now Antarctica.
First identified by geologists in Queen Maud Land and the southern Prince Charles Mountains, the orogeny produced rocks that reached amphibolite-grade on the sequence of metamorphic facies, produced large areas of new continental crust and altered the large areas of older rock.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Antarctic researchers Grikurov and Elliot debated whether the Insel Orogeny marked the end of craton building in East Antarctica, or whether the process continued into the Proterozoic.
In 2011, he accepted a position as an anchor with CBS Los Angeles and in 2013, as an anchor at WNBC-TV in New York City.
Until then, Senegal is facing fiscal pressure due to fixed domestic energy prices that are cheaper than international oil prices resulting in increased subsidies and lower revenues.
Senegal's poverty rate was last measured in 2011 and had a national poverty rate of 46.7% and 38% using the international poverty line.
No new household consumption data has been made available but, estimates place the poverty rate at 34% in 2017, and expect it to fall to 31% in 2020.
Senegal has had a long history of cooperation with the World Bank and is currently engaged in over 30 projects from the World Bank.
In addition, the estimated total cost of the projects currently active form the World Bank is estimated to be $1.8 billion dollars.
The World Bank initiated the World Bank Group's Human Capital Project as a global effort to increase the effectiveness and development of human capital through policymaking and investing.
This initiative focuses on helping countries achieve these goals and has even established its own set of indicators to track and monitor progress.
In order to be able to measure the success of the program, the World Bank established a Human Capital Index (HCI).
The HCI targets how human capital contributes to the production of the economy as well as the projections for the future.
In order to provide financial security to the most vulnerable people and poor regions, the International Development Association (IDA) approved a $40.5 million credit package to aid Senegal in the establishment of a national social safety net system.
The safety net functions as a conditional cash transfer program that provides qualified candidates with 25,000 West African CFS francs or $50 USD every quarter for 5 years.
The beneficiaries of the program are selected by using community and geographical data that provides guidelines for selecting the most vulnerable and in need people.
Cash transfers can be used as tools to respond to humanitarian crises and create new methods of more immediate and required responses according to needs.
On January 3, 2019 the IDA approved a second round of financing for the social safety net program and loaned another credit package of $57 million USD.
The extension of funds were to address specific issues in regards to sustainability, institutionalization, and upscale of the use of the key frameworks.
Component 2 of the project was aimed at being able to provide a cash transfer service for low income households and has been able to provide transfers to farmers, beneficiaries, and as a use for productive exchanges.
The development objective of this project is to be able to provide people from rural communities with safe and equitable water sanitation and services.
This project also focuses on providing people with proper methods of water resource management as well as oversight of water services.
In many countries water is still not a fully guaranteed utility due to social economic barriers that make it difficult to provide water to all people.
The main barriers to universal access in Senegal are the lack of funds for the government to maintain and provide consistent water to rural communities as well as lack of funds for rural communities to be able to seek private investment form resource providers.
The first component is the improvement of the rural water supply system that requires the upgrading of already existing systems as well as opening new routes for accessibility.
The second component focuses on sanitation services and provides rural communities with household ad community toilets to be able to maintain clean water sources and clean communities.
The third component of this project discusses the issues wth water resource management and provides the community with training on water management and pre-planning for water resource use and allocation.
The final component of this project prepares the community for project coordination and increased capacity building so that the needs of the community can be fulfilled with the water supply systems and training of the community.
Senegal in September 26, 2019 received a $140 million USD loan from the IDA to expand the government capacity for nutritional services for women and kids.
The project seeks to provide necessary funds for government projects aimed at improving the health and nutritional condition of women and children in low socioeconomic areas.
The first component of the project is to improve the availability and quality of reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health and nutrition (RMNCAH-N) packages.
This component will seek to achieve this by increasing the availability and quality of health workers, mobile midwives, and medical resources available so that rural communities are also receiving the same level of care as urban communities.
The project has developed multiple strategies to implement this component through the use of mass media, social and behavioral changes in communities, life and employment skills training, and cash transfers to adolescent girls to help keep them in school or to enroll them in schools.

The group's name emphasizes the ideas that white-collar employees are workers and that the lower-wage jobs created to support those white-collar jobs are part of the same industry.
These ideas are in contrast to industry norms that ameliorate engineer working conditions, including food and perk luxuries on campus, horizontal reporting structures, and casual dress codes.
The group also responds to the disillusionment of workers who entered the industry to bring societal value through the Internet but instead found other company objectives to be paramount.
Many workers at major tech companies saw themselves as responsible for creating platforms that let fake news propagate, the alt-right find an audience, and the Trump presidency potentially surveil its critics.
Photos from a December 2016 Trump Tower meeting between United States President-elect Donald Trump and senior leaders of Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, and Facebook renewed interest in counter-activism.
In January 2017, the group led a protest of 70 people, including employees from major tech companies, at the data analytics company Palantir in opposition to the company's surveillance work for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The Tech Workers Coalition started a petition for Stanford University alumni, a popular recruiting spot, to pledge not to join Palantir.
In early 2017, several Tech Workers Coalition members assisted the labor union Unite Here in organizing cafeteria staff at their companies, particularly at Facebook.
In 2019, the Tech Workers Coalition advised NPM employees behind a failed unionization attempt and helped to organize tech worker presence at the September 2019 climate strikes.
Within the movement of tech industry activists seeking to change the industry's practices through their employees, the Tech Workers Coalition is the most radical group.
As of late 2017, the group had about 500 users on its instant messaging tool and had small chapters in cities including Boston, New York, and Seattle.
The group is all-volunteer and horizontal, unlike most labor union hierarchies, and is premised on solidarity between higher-wage engineers and lower-wage workers.

For water treatment, CWTP utilizes four ozone generators, designed to handle an average capacity of per day—although average daily consumption is lower, at approximately —and a peak level of per day.
Water for CWTP comes from the Wachusett Reservoir, primarily via the Cosgrove Tunnel, with the Wachusett Aqueduct as a standby backup.
Treated water then flows towards Boston primarily via the MetroWest Water Supply Tunnel, with the Hultman Aqueduct as a secondary system and the Weston Aqueduct as a backup.
The Royal Commission on Industrial Relations, otherwise known as the Mathers Commission, was chaired by Thomas Graham Mathers and examined Canada's industrial relations.
The report released its findings July 1919, after the Commissioners visited 28 cities from 26 April to 16 June, hearing from 486 witnesses from British Columbia in the West to Nova Scotia in the East.
The upheaval taking place throughout the world, and the state of men's minds during this critical period, make this the time for drastic changes of the industrial and social systems of Canada.
The Commission is considered to be a legislative failure, however remains valuable for its account of the rise of militancy in the Canadian labour movement following the First World War.
Fido (ca 1851 – 1865) was a yellow mongrel dog owned by Abraham Lincoln and kept by the family for a number of years prior to Lincoln's presidency, and became a presidential pet during Lincoln's presidency, although he remained in Springfield, Illinois.
He was known to wait for Lincoln outside the barber shop and would sometimes carry a parcel in his mouth when going home with his master.
After Lincoln was elected, Fido cowered from the crowds who greeted the president-elect, the fireworks, and the increased attention surrounding his master.
Knowing the bustle of Washington, the number of people who would be going through the White House, and the social scene surrounding it, Lincoln and his wife, Mary, decided to leave Fido in Springfield, where the family had lived.
Lincoln gave Roll an old sofa that was a favorite of Fido's, and left instructions that Fido be allowed to have the run of the house, not to be scolded for tracking mud, and to be allowed to wander around the family dinner table and be fed scraps.

This section deals with the economic oppression among the Jews (verses 1–5), Nehemiah’s judgment on the issue (verses 6–11), and the pledge of the people (verses 12–13).
In the position of leadership, Nehemiah led by example, where he demonstrates his integrity and his unbending adherence to God’s laws and his moral standard.
Unlike the previous governors who took bread, wine, and 'forty shekels of silver', Nehemiah forfeited his right to income from taxes, and even at his own expense provided ‘the necessities expected of a government official’.
Nehemiah's appointment took place in Nisan 444 BC (or 445 BC; the 20th year of Artaxerxes I), as recorded in , and he governed Judah for 12 years.
Therefore, the entire first section of the Book of Nehemiah (chapters 1–7) could be written after 432 BC (the 32nd year of Artaxerxes I), the year when Nehemiah returned to the Persian court from Jerusalem (Nehemiah 13:6).

The Golden Age of Flanders, or Flemish Golden Age, is a term that has been used to describe the flourishing of cultural and economic actitivies of the Low Countries around the 16th century.
On 24 February 1500, Charles of Ghent was born to Philip the Handsome (son of Mary of Burgundy and Maximilian I of Austria) and Joanna the Mad (daughter of Isabella of Castille and Ferdinand II of Aragon).
The inheritances of Burgundy and Austria made him respectively Lord of the Netherlands and Archduke of Austria, giving to one person an unprecedented amount of direct possessions within the Holy Roman Empire.
The inheritances of Castile and Aragon formed a Spanish empire that streched from the Castilian West Indies to the Aragonese Two Sicilies.
The election as Holy Roman Emperor in 1519 crowned Charles' dynastic fortunes, giving him sovereignty in Germany and North Italy as a formal successor of Charlemagne.
In an age of high renaissance and global explorations, when reformed churches and national monarchies were emerging, Charles embraced the medieval dream of building a universal monarchy in the Old World of Christendom.
Given that Charles was a Fleming and that Burgundian chivalric culture formed the basis of his beliefs, Brussels would ascend from capital of the Habsburg Netherlands to main seat of his itinerant court.
During the Guelders Wars Charles annexed the Lordship of Utrecht and Lordship of Overijssel, the Lordship of Groningen and County of Drenthe.
However, the abdications of Brussels formalized by Charles V between 1554 and 1556 divided the House of Habsburg and its possessions between a Spanish branch led by Philip II of Spain and a German-Austrian branch led by Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor.
Charles abdicated in favor of his son Philip the Two Sicilies and the Duchy of Milan in July 1554, the Habsburg Netherlands in October 1555, and the kingdoms of Spain and the Americas in January 1556.
In August 1556, Charles abdicated the throne of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation in favor of his younger brother Ferdinand, elected as his designated successor in 1531.
The Imperial succession also marked the legal transfer of the Austrian hereditary lands of the Empire to Ferdinand, who ruled them in the name of the Emperor since 1521.
His son Philip will return in Spain in 1559 and never visit the Low Countries again, ruling these territories as King of Spain rather than Duke of Burgundy.
Flanders and Belgium were part of the Spanish Netherlands from 1556, and entered a period of decline in favor of the Dutch Republic which was soon to break off from the Spanish empire.
Symbolic of this is the Sack of Antwerp by Spanish forces in 1576, which forced many merchants to flee to Amsterdam and Holland.
Antwerp's golden age is tightly linked to the fact that it became the financial centre where Spanish precious metals coming from the Americas were exchanged for banking credit of rich German families (namely the Fugger and the Welser).
Francesco Guicciardini, the Florentine envoy, stated that hundreds of ships would pass in a day, and 2,000 carts entered the city each week.
By 1504, the Portuguese had established Antwerp as one of their main shipping bases, bringing in spices from Asia and trading them for textiles and metal goods.
The city's trade expanded to include cloth from England, Italy and Germany, wines from Germany, France and Spain, salt from France, and wheat from the Baltic.
The city of Antwerp was a leader in the pepper market, the market of precious metals coming from Mexico and Peru, and the textile industry.
The beginning of the century the old cloth industries of Flanders had been seriously threatened by English competition; However, Charles V implemented reforms to put the industries of the Netherlands under protection.
Flemish artists, who span from the Antwerp Mannerists and Hieronymus Bosch at the start of the 16th century to the late Northern Mannerists such as Hendrik Goltzius and Joachim Wtewael at the end, drew on both the recent innovations of Italian painting and the local traditions of the Early Netherlandish artists.
Jan Mabuse, Maarten van Heemskerck and Frans Floris were all instrumental in adopting Italian models and incorporating them into their own artistic language.
Pieter Brueghel the Elder, with Bosch the only artist from the period to remain widely familiar, may seem atypical, but in fact his many innovations drew on the fertile artistic scene in Antwerp.
Joachim Patinir, for example, played an important role in developing landscape painting, inventing the compositional type of the world landscape, which was perfected by Pieter Bruegel the Elder who, followed by Pieter Aertsen, also helped popularise genre painting.
Anthonis Mor was the leading portraitist of the mid-century, in demand in courts all over Europe for his reliable portraits in a style that combined Netherlandish precision with the lessons of Titian and other Italian painters.
Italian Renaissance influences begin to show on Early Netherlandish painting around 1500, but in many ways the older style was remarkably persistent.
Antwerp Mannerism is a term for painters showing some Italian influence, but mainly continuing the style and subjects of the older masters.
Hieronymus Bosch is a highly individual artist, whose work is strange and full of seemingly irrational imagery, making it difficult to interpret.
Most of all it seems surprisingly modern, introducing a world of dreams that seems more related to Gothic art than the Italian Renaissance, although some Venetian prints of the same period show a comparable degree of fantasy.
and directly leads to the themes of the great Flemish and Dutch Baroque painters: landscapes, still lifes and genre painting - scenes from everyday life.
This evolution is seen in the works of Joachim Patinir and Pieter Aertsen, but the true genius among these painters was Pieter Brueghel the Elder, well known for his depictions of nature and everyday life, showing a preference for the natural condition of man, choosing to depict the peasant instead of the prince.
It hints at the renewed interest for antiquity (the Icarus legend), but the hero Icarus is hidden away in the background.
The main actors in the painting are nature itself and, most prominently, the peasant, who does not even look up from his plough when Icarus falls.

The temple was dedicated to Ba'alat Gebal, the goddess of the city of Byblos, known later to the Greeks as Atargatis.
Two centuries after the construction of the Temple of Baalat Gebal, the Temple of the Obelisks was built approximately 100m to the east.
The temple, and its patroness, Ba‘alat Gebal, were venerated in the city for more than two millennia during the Canaanite and Phoenician eras.
It was constructed when Byblos had close ties with Egypt, and a number of Egyptian references are found throughout the temple complex.
The site of the temple is near the Crusaders' Byblos Castle, and was first excavated by French archaeologist Pierre Montet from 1921–24 and subsequently in the early part of Maurice Dunand's excavation of the city.

At the site of Oarda de Jos, near Alba Iulia in Alba County, two jaw pieces were found of a large pterosaur.
The holotype, PSMUBB V651a, b, was found in a layer of the Șard Formation dating from the latest Maastrichtian, sixty-six million years old.
It consists of two fused premaxillae of the snout (PSMUBB V651a) and a piece of the symphysis of the lower jaws (PSMUBB V651b).
It is the first example from the Cretaceous of Europe of a pterosaur exemplar preserving both upper jaw and lower jaw elements.

This was deemed improbable however, because the holotype bone structure resembled that of subadult animals, not of fast growing young individuals.

Uthhan is a term that organizations and social service projects use to refer to providing those in need with a chance to rise above their circumstances.
Utthan is a nonprofit organization in India that works with vulnerable populations like women and minorities to improve the quality of life and offer equal opportunities.

Adolf Bäuerle (real name Johann Andreas Bäuerle (9 or 10 April 1786 – 20 September 1859) was an Austrian writer, publisher and main representative of the .
After the death of his first wife in 1828 he married the actress on 3 May 1829, with whom he already had a relationship for years before.
Since his school days Bäuerle wrote, but it was not until 1852 that he was able to publish his first novel.
It formed of a stone base and shaft on a brick plinth; the cross itself is missing, but the shaft is topped with a ‘cornice-like’ stone.
The charter was granted by King Henry IV to the king and his heirs as Dukes of Lancaster, to be held at the ‘at the king’s town’.
The charter also granted two fairs, to be held on the vigil and feast of Andrew the Apostle (30 November) and the vigil and feast of Philip and James (1 May) (the ‘vigil’ was the day before the saint’s feast day).
Replacement in the 19th and 20th centuries means that only the socket stone and the lowest stone of the shaft may be medieval survivals.
The official listing of the market cross by Historic England states ‘the cornice-like stone at the top was added in 1833, when the old steps were removed’.
However, other accounts suggest the steps were removed, and the current brick base built, in the 1870s, at the time St Andrew's Church was being restored.
Some sources suggest the ‘cornice-like stone at the top’ is a representation of a ‘shepherd’s crown’, a flint fossil of a sea urchin, carried by downland shepherds for good luck.
In the First Word War, and again in the Second World War, the cross was considerably damaged when drunken Canadian soldiers climbed it.
A photograph from before 1900 shows the stone shaft intact; later post-war photographs show the rather crude repairs to the shaft where it had been broken.
Alfriston Parish Council decided to restore the cross once again, and the work was undertaken by a local building firm, H. Wilson.
Initially there was some difficulty in matching the sandstone from which the cross was built, which was thought to have come ‘from the sea shore at Eastbourne’.
However, Colonel R. V. Gwynne, the chairman of Eastbourne magistrates, realised that the stonework of an ancient tithe barn which stood on his land in the grounds of Wilmington Priory was an almost exact match both in colouring and texture.
To minimise the potential damage from future accidents, a solid concrete base was constructed within the rebuilt brick plinth, and the metal core of the shaft, inserted when it was last repaired, was retained.
The builders had the guide of the base and top to shape the shaft to, and anyone who did not know of the disaster would merely think it had been restored’.
The difference in the thickness of the shaft can be seen when comparing photographs of the market cross from before and after the accident in 1955.
In the Sussex Extensive Urban Survey (EUS) Historic Character Assessment Report for Alfriston (March 2008), the author, Roland Harris, remarked ‘The market cross at Alfriston may be a late medieval survival, although with a strong hint of the ship of Theseus paradox’; however, he recognised that ‘Notwithstanding the rebuilding, the cross is a rare feature … within Sussex’.
In the metaphysics of identity, the Ship of Theseus is a thought experiment that raises the question of whether an object that has had all its components replaced remains fundamentally the same object.
Tabrani was born in Pamekasan, Madura, on 10 October 1904 and he began his education at a MULO in Surabaya, before continuing to a AMS in Bandung.
During the Second Youth Congress of 1928, which resulted in the Youth Pledge, Tabrani was absent, as he was travelling and studying in Europe.
For some time, he also studied journalism in Berlin and Cologne, in addition to studying German stenography which he completed in 1929 at Den Haag.
Tabrani is often credited with the creation of the Indonesian language, and the Language Development Agency of the Ministry of Education of Culture proposed in 2019 that Tabrani be made a National Hero of Indonesia.

The Observer Building on Cambridge Road, Hastings, designed by Henry Ward (architect) was the printworks and editorial offices associated with the Hastings and St Leonards Observer newspaper, housing the 500 editorial and administrative staff between 1924 and 1984.
The building itself, by nature of the, locally unique, fascia with the owner's name incorporated into the mouldings compared to the surrounding buildings, became a significant landmark for many residents in the town of Hastings, the building being described as 'The most imposing site in Hastings' in a BBC news report of 2006.
The building has a distinctive terracotta-glazed frontage produced by the brick company Ibstock Hathernware with concrete mezzanine flooring behind and was designed by Henry Ward.
Prior to construction, the site was occupied by terraced buildings similar to those further down the hill towards the town centre.
Following a move of the Observer offices to new premises on the outskirts of Hastings, the building fell into disrepair for a number of years.
A music rehearsal/recording studio did operate from the basement of the building circa 1991, but was otherwise unoccupied for some 34 years.
A developer purchased the building in 2014, but failed to come up with plans that were approved by the local council, resulting in the building being left vacant again.
Further plans were proposed to turn the building into student accommodation for students attending the local campus of Brighton University in 2016, again to not materialise when the University pulled out of Hastings.
In 2017, Hastings Borough Council approved plans for an artist studio on the lower ground floor, a residents’ gym on the mezzanine level and a restaurant and shop, plus 50 private flats and a private roof terrace.
Unfortunately these plans did not come to fruition and after some essential work had been carried out on the internal structure, together with some community-driven usage the building was put back on sale for £1.5 million.
Under the leadership of Jess Steele, White Rock Neighbourhood Ventures, the occupiers of Rock House Hastings, the more modern next-door building that also formed part of the Observer's property purchased the Observer building for £1.15 million in late 2018, with a ten-year plan to bring the building back into use.
These works are being carried out with funding provided by a number of local organisations and grants from organisations such as Big Issue Invest, Castlestone Investments, Hastings Borough Council and East Sussex County Council among others.
The lower floors of the building after minor repairs are being utilised for various local events, such as 'pop up' cinemas, art exhibitions, theatre and other events.

Smith rose to her feet to beat the referee's count of ten, only to be on the receiving end of several heavy blows.
The end came 1 minute and 10 seconds into the round after a solid jab sent Smith stumbling backwards into the ropes, causing referee Marcus McDonnell to wave the fight off.
A year later, Basheel challenged undefeated WBC Silver and former IBO female lightweight champion Chantelle Cameron on 20 July 2019 at the Brentwood Centre in Brentwood, Essex.

The Barra Fan and Hebrides Terrace Seamount is the name given to a Nature Conservation Marine Protected Area that lies in Scottish waters to the west of the Outer Hebrides, adjacent to the boundary with Ireland.
The Barra Fan is a geological protected feature of the North Atlantic Ocean to the west of the Scottish island of Barra.
The topography of the seabed in the Barra Fan was modified by the action of icebergs grounding on the seabed during the ice ages, and has also been affected by the action of oceanic currents.
The seamount of the Hebrides Terrace is thought to represent the remnant of an ancient volcano that rises to a height of almost 1 km above the surrounding seabed.
It lies to the west of the Barra Fan, and supports a diverse range of marine life, including cold-water corals and deep sea sponges.
The effect the seamount has on underwater currents is thought to ensure a good supply of food for many species of fish in the area, and the seamount is particularly associated with the orange roughy, a large long-living deep-sea fish.
The seamount is the location of a positive gravity anomaly that is thought to indicate the presence of an igneous body of rock some 17 km thick.

Stary Ciepielów and Rekówka massacre was a Nazi war crime perpetrated by members of the German Gendarmerie (state rural police) in the villages Stary Ciepielów and Rekówka in occupied Poland.
On December 6, 1942, thirty-one Poles from the families of Kowalski, Kosior, Obuchiewicz and Skoczylas, among them women and children, were murdered for helping Jews.
After the Nazi occupation of Poland began, powiat of Iłża became a part of the Radom district of the General Government.
Although German authorities imposed death penalty for sheltering the Jews, relatively many Poles from the surroundings of Ciepielów and Lipsko engaged in the various form of support for the refugees.
According to historians Sebastian Piątkowski and Jacek Młynarczyk these phenomena could be explained by the fact that in this region during the pre-war period were no significant economic inequalities and competition among the Poles and Jews, and consequently, no serious ethnic tensions.
Among the Jews who were hiding in the forests were many young men who started to organize a small self-defence groups.
Communist Gwardia Ludowa which planned to establish its footholds in the Iłża region but at the same time faced a very little support among the Polish population, perceived those groups as the natural reservoir of manpower.
Its actions had no serious military significance, however local Nazi authorities became anxious and decided to organize a wide-range round-up in the forests.
German Gendarmerie (state rural police) liquidated three forest camps and killed around 120 Jewish refugees, and among them also a few ethnic Poles.
Most probably German policemen forced some Jews who were caught during the round-up to reveal the names of Polish families who supported them.
In consequence, Nazi authorities decided to conduct demonstrative repressive action with aim to intimidate the local population and discouraging Poles from providing any help to the Jews.
This task was entrusted to the subunit from 1st Motorized Gendarmerie Battalion which had its post in the folwark in Górki Ciepielowskie.
Around December 4, 1942, a Jewish woman came to the out-of-the-way farm of Jan Rusin in Stary Ciepielów and asked the owner to warn the families who helped Jews that Germans may come to arrest them.
Some witnesses claimed that shortly before the German action, the Jews who were hiding in the village left their shelters in Polish houses and went to the forest or to one of the neighbouring villages.
They went first to the farm of Antoni Sochaj which was located at the outskirts of village and ordered the owner to show them the farms of Adam Kowalski and Piotr Obuchiewicz.
In Kowalski's farm they caught the owner, his wife and five children, in Obuchiewicz's farm – the owner, his wife and four children, in Kosior's farm – the owner, his wife and six children.
It is unknown what they found in Kowalski's and Obuchiewicz's premises; however, it is certain that in the Kosior's farm they captured two Jewish men and found books written in Yiddish and Hebrew.
It is unlikely that looking from their hideouts in the nearby forest they did not realize that gendarmes are present in the village, so it is possible that they voluntarily surrendered in hope that in this way they would save their benefactors.
The gendarmes who had the car in their disposal, started the pursuit, caught the boy, and threw him (alive or dead) into the burning building.
The house of the latter was chosen as the place of next execution because it was located in some distance from the neighbouring farmhouses, so there was no risk that fire will spread across the village.
However, the gendarmes captured Piotr's mother-in-law, Marianna Kiścińska, his younger daughter Leokadia and ten-year-old Henryka Kordula – Leokadia's friend from neighbouring farm.
Gendarmes searched out the farm and found books which belonged to the Jewish refugees who were supported by the Skoczylas family.
Bierner was going to send a group of his men in search for Piotr Skoczylas and the rest of his children.
He was beaten, threatened by gun and then taken with two gendarmes as the escort with order to find father and bring him home.
In one of the neighbouring farm Józef accidentally met his younger brother Jan. His German escort did not recognize Jan, nevertheless they assumed that he must know Skoczylas family, so they ordered him to go with them and help identify Piotr.
According to the witnesses another son of Kosior tried to escape but after he ran around 200 meters he was shot.
Still unaware that Jan is the Piotr's son, they ordered the young man to go away and then took Piotr to the barn and shot him.
On December 6, 1942, German gendarmes from the post in Górki Ciepielowskie murdered 33 people in Stary Ciepielów and Rekówka, including 31 Poles and two Jews.
According to the German order bodies were not to be buried at the cemetery but in the pits near the victim's farms.
Stary Ciepielów i Rekówka massacre was the largest, but not the only execution conducted by the Gendarmerie unit from Górki Ciepielowskie during the pacification operation in Ciepielów region.
On 7 December the gendarmes raided the village of Świesielice and executed fourteen Poles, among them women and children, who were suspected of aiding the partisans.
Next day they came again to the village and murdered a Polish woman named Marianna Skwira who along with her husband was helping the Jewish refugees.
Finally, on January 11, 1943, in the village of Zajączków the gendarmes executed six Poles who were suspected of aiding the Jews.
The local people became ever less keen to help the Jews after the Chil Brawerman's group killed three Poles wrongly accused of collaboration with the Germans.
As the result, the vast majority of Jews who were hiding in the forests around Ciepielów did not survive the war.
In Ciepielów itself the only Jewish survivor was Dawid Sankowicz, who was sheltered by the Polish shoemaker Stanisław Lewandowski until the last day of German occupation.
Stary Ciepielów and Rekówka massacre, along with the following executions in Świesielice and Zajączków, was one of the greatest crimes committed by Nazi-German occupants on Poles who helped Jews.
After the war, the remains of the people murdered during the massacre were exhumed and buried in the mass grave of the victims of German terror, located in Stary Ciepielów (close to the road leading to Tymienica Stara).
On October 19, 2009, members of the families Kowalski, Kosior, Obuchiewicz and Skoczylas were posthumously awarded by the Polish president Lech Kaczyński with the Order of Polonia Restituta Third Class.
In March 2012 Kowalski family, along with two other Polish families murdered by the Nazi-German occupants for helping the Jews, was commemorated by the commemorative coins issued by the National Bank of Poland.

In Chennai, men and women are mysteriously killed and the police cannot find a single clue to catch the serial killer.
Later, the police cast suspicion on Nandakumar (Mohan), an innocent single man, who runs a resort on the coastal road and believe that he is a dangerous sexual predator.
Nandakumar has no rooms but he is under pressure to keep her in his own room in order to gain money and repay his loans.
Vandana tries to seduce Nandakumar on multiple occasions by wearing sexy dresses and exposing her body but she fails every time.
Vandana finally realises that Nandakumar is an innocent man who has nothing do with that case and she falls in love with him.
Thereafter, Vandhana finds the culprit: the local church father (R. N. R. Manohar) who lives in a church near the resort of Nandakumar.
He tells her that he is not a real church father and he killed the victims for having an extramarital affair or premarital sex.
The police then free Vandana and she reveals that the fake church father is the killer thus the man is arrested.

The archaeological assemblage identified with this culture is related to the finds from the middle Volga and Kama basin, indicating that they originated from the east.
Like other groups with forest origin such as the Garin-Bor and other northern cultures, the Volosovo lived in the forest steppes of the Volga-Ural region, particularly the area of the present-day Samara oblast.
Since the discovery of the Volosovo culture, it has been investigated extensively but it remains controversial due to some unresolved aspects, particularly the chronology of its history, cultural attributes, origin, and ethnic affiliations.
For example, it was believed that Volosovo was a separate cultural entity but other studies show that it is related to cultures associated with the Volga and Kama basin.
The stone and ceramic artifacts that are used to describe the Volosovo culture were from the semisubterranean dwellings, which are often situated in river floors and within the area of lakes.
The upper level, which is considered the actual Volosovo phase, included ceramics that were distinct from the pit-marked pottery as well as those attributed to contemporaneous cultures such as the Fatyanovo culture.
Based on excavated artifacts, the Volosovo culture first used stones and bone tools and were particularly adept at bone carving and sculpture.
A small art emerged, one that has been considered rich and diverse as demonstrated by the varied flaked flint sculptures that represented the human form.
A late Volosovo culture emerged later on and this phase was associated with the sites located in the upper Volodary and Panfilovo.
There is evidence that the Volosovo culture had extensive contacts with other cultures such as the Balanovo culture, a group considered to be the metal-working aspect of the eastern Fatyanovo.
Evidence showed that the late Volosovo phase also had extensive contact with the Abashevo population, helping spread cattle-breeding economies as well as metallurgy among the northern forest cultures.
Though DDT also runs the annual D-Oh Grand Prix tournament, the King of DDT is different in that it is single-elimination, whereas the D-Oh Grand Prix is a round-robin.
Like the D-Oh Grand Prix however, the winner of the tournament usually receives a shot at the KO-D Openweight Championship; this stipulation was added in 2009.
The KO-D Openweight Champion at the time of the tournament does not participate and, since 2018, neither do the Right to Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract holders.

Robertson Street Congregational Church (since 1972, the Robertson Street United Reformed Church) is a former United Reformed church in the centre of Hastings, a seaside town and borough in East Sussex, England.
Built in 1885 on the site of an earlier church which had been constructed in 1857, it was designed by Henry Ward (1854–1927), who was responsible for many of the key buildings in the town of Hastings, not least the Town Hall.
It was acquired by a Pentecostal Christian group, who had outgrown their church premises elsewhere in the borough, and is still an active place of worship with the name His Place Church.
C. New, one of the most important figures in Hastings' Congregationalist community at the time, was instrumental in getting a new church funded and built after the congregation had out-grown the original building and extensive repairs were required in any case.
The construction contract was put out to tender; bids ranged from £6,526 to £8,240, and the chosen contractor was John Howell with a bid of £7,090.
Whilst the congregation had no church to worship in, services were held at various locations throughout the town, including The Gaiety Theatre and Hastings Pier pavilion.
The Memorial stone was laid on 11 September 1884 at 3:30pm, with a large crowd of people, mainly members of the congregation and worthies such as the Mayor, Alderman Thorpe and a number of Pastors and Ministers of surrounding churches.
When the time came to lay the stone, one of the leading Congregationalists of the time, Mr Spicer was presented with a silver trowel to lay the stone.
The present Sedlescombe United Reformed Church and the former Robertsbridge United Reformed Church opened in 1879 and 1881 respectively in the villages of Sedlescombe and Robertsbridge, north of Hastings.
Over the course of just under ten years, he had attracted nearly 400 new members which was reflected in the church roll exceeding 400 by 1955.
In the years that followed, the church became a centre of evangelism, with particular credit being given to the quality of its youth and children's work, under the guidance of Kay Mozely.
Brian Bowyer came to the church and was able to see the church through difficult days when major faults were discovered in the roof.
A mammoth fundraising effort saw the roof repaired in time for a wedding within the church family to take place in the sanctuary as planned.
However, the local churches reflected the national trend of declining numbers, and new patterns of providing ministry for the area were constantly being sought.
The membership of Robertson Street fell from 42 in January 2010 to 28 at the time of closure in December 2012, mainly as a result of deaths.
From January 2012, the congregation began exploring its future, ahead of the Local Mission & Ministry Review (LMMR) process due to take place later in the year.
In its time, Robertson Street URC was an engine for evangelism; it hosted meetings of the local committee of the London Missionary Society as well as the Hastings Council of Churches.
The church was registered in accordance with the Places of Worship Registration Act 1855; its number on the register was 28925.
Until its closure, Robertson Street United Reformed Church was in that denomination's Southern Synod, one of 13 Synods in Great Britain.
As of 2010 the Synod was responsible for 168 United Reformed churches in southeast England, including Robertson Street and three others in the Borough of Hastings: Clive Vale, St Luke's and St Mark's.
Since 2014, the building has been owned by His Place Church under the Reverend Chris Sears, His Place having outgrown its existing premises at Duke Road which had been its base for 19 years.
Current usages alongside the church include a cafe, a theatre, a 'safe space', mental health support groups and many other community groups.
The windows and stonework, together with ironwork require repairs costing in excess of £750,000 with additional repairs needed to the Robertson Street entrance.
Much of the interior finish has been damaged due to damp ingress (both from the roof which has now been repaired, and leaking/insufficient number of gutters and downpipes).
In addition to the usage as a place of worship the venue is also utilised as a theatre - the Opus Theatre under the direction of Polo Piatti.
A monumental staircase extends up from the Robertson Street entrance after passing a hall which is currently used as a cafeteria.
A rear stair and stairs with wrought iron balustrades lead into the horseshoe shaped gallery which repeats the curved pews with under-pew heating.
It was planned that the basement (which was subdivided into a deacon's vestry, the minister's vestry, the choir vestry, a general vestry, a large hall and lavatories) could be utilised by the Young Mens Christian Association in addition to providing classrooms and meeting rooms.
The galleries, pews, ceiling and roof were made out of pitch pine, with the walls being finished utilising Parian cement (a fast drying cement with borax added to the mix).
The church features a Forster and Andrews two console organ with highly ornamented pipes mounted unusually above the altar behind the minister.
Some pipes are currently stored laying down due to deterioration in the mountings and other stops are believed to be inoperable.
The winners get to represent Japan at the men's and women's World Curling Championships, and as basically, winners also get to represent Japan at the next season's Pacific-Asia Curling Championships.

There are currently 32 active gas fired combined cycle power plants operating in the United Kingdom which have a total generating capacity of 30.2GW.
In 2016 gas fired power stations generated a total of 127 TWh of electricity, this has dropped to 119 TWh in 2017, 115 TWh in 2018 and 114 TWh in 2019.
The decline in total gas generation is largely due to the increase in renewables outweighing the decline of coal and an overall reduction in demand.
In 1961, Paladino was appointed as Director of Education for the ICFTU Inter American Regional Organisation of Workers, then in 1962 he became its assistant general secretary and director of organization.
In 1964, he moved to become deputy assistant director of the American Institute for Free Labor Development, with responsibility for planning and organization.
In 1967, Paladino was appointed as assistant general secretary of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), with the strong support of AFL-CIO President, George Meany.
He was given charge of the Department of Organization, with responsibility for relationships with the international trade secretariats, vocational training and co-operative enterprises.
In 1970, the AFL-CIO withdrew from the ICFTU, and Paladino resigned his post, instead becoming director of the Asian-American Free Labor Institute.
In the study of artificial neural networks (ANNs), the neural tangent kernel (NTK) is a kernel which describes the evolution of deep artificial neural network during their training by gradient descent.
It bridges the study of ANNs with the tools of Kernel Methods theory and to probe the behavior of ANNs in the so-called large-width limit.
An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with scalar output consists in a family of functions formula_1 parametrized by a vector of parameters formula_2.
The Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) is a kernel formula_3 defined by formula_4In the language of kernel methods, the NTK formula_5 is the kernel associated with the feature map formula_6.
An ANN with vector output of size formula_7 consists in a family of functions formula_8 parametrized by a vector of parameters formula_2.
When optimizing the parameters formula_2 of an ANN to minimize an empirical loss through gradient descent, the NTK governs the dynamics of the ANN output function formula_14 throughout the training.
The NTK formula_34 represents the influence of the loss gradient formula_35 with respect to example formula_36 on the evolution of ANN output formula_37 through a gradient descent step: in the scalar case, this readsformula_38In particular, each data point formula_39 influences the evolution of the output formula_37 for each formula_41 throughout the training, in a way that is captured by the NTK formula_34.
Recent theoretical and practical advances in Deep Learning have shown the continual improvement of performance of ANNs as their widths get larger.
Consider a ANN with fully-connected layers formula_43 of widths formula_44, so that formula_45, where formula_46 is the composition of an affine transformation formula_47 with the pointwise application of a nonlinearity formula_48, where formula_49 parametrizes the maps formula_50.
The scale of the NTK as the widths grow is affected by the exact parametrization of the formula_47's and by the initialization of the parameters.
This parametrization ensures that if the parameters formula_2 are initialized as standard normal variables, the NTK has a finite nontrivial limit.
The NTK formula_55 is explicitly given by formula_57, where formula_58 is determined by the set of recursive equations:formula_59formula_60formula_61formula_62formula_63 where formula_64 denotes the kernel defined in terms of the Gaussian expectation:formula_65 In this formula the kernels formula_66 are the so-called activation kernels of the ANN.
The NTK can be studied for various ANN architectures, in particular Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Transformer Neural Networks.
In such settings, the large-width limit corresponds to letting the number of parameters grow, while keeping the number of layers fixed: for CNNs, this amount to letting the number of channels grow.
For a convex loss functional formula_21 with a global minimum, if the NTK remains positive-definite during training, the loss of the ANN formula_68 converges to that minimum as formula_69.
This positive-definiteness property has been shown in a number of cases, yielding the first proofs that large-width ANNs converge to global minima during training.
The NTK gives a rigorous connection between the inference performed by infinite-width ANNs and that performed by kernel methods: when the loss function is the least-squares loss, the inference performed by an ANN is in expectation equal to the kernel ridge regression (with zero ridge) with respect to the NTK formula_55.
This suggests that the performance of large ANNs in the NTK parametrization can be replicated by kernel methods for suitably chosen kernels.
Neural Tangents is a free and open-source Python library used for computing and doing inference with the NTK corresponding to various common ANN architectures.

This was going to be the case in Colorado but advertising executive Robert Ardini filed on the first day permitted, triggering a law that states the primary cannot be cancelled if more than one person has filed.
Ardini was followed by perennial candidate Rocky de la Fuente, former governor Bill Weld, incumbent Donald Trump, Matthew John Matern, Joe Walsh, and Zoltan Istvan.
De La Fuente, who was on the list when the ballot order was being decided, was not on the final ballot list.
The current league champions are the Leicester Lions, who beat the Glasgow Tigers in the 2019 SGB Championship play-off final, and then completed an excellent 2019 SGB Championship debut season by winning two major trophies.
Sheffield Tigers moved up a division to the SGB Premiership in 2020, with two new teams joining the 2020 SGB Championship: the Poole Pirates who dropped down from the SGB Premiership.
However, Plymouth Gladiators' application to join the 2020 SGB Championship was turned down at the British Speedway Promoters’ Association 2020 AGM.
The biggest change was that teams were grouped by regions with teams in each league regional group racing against each twice home and away and then once home and away against teams from the league regional group.
The Northern Group consists of Berwick, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Redcar and Scunthorpe, whilst the Southern Group consists of Birmingham, Leicester, Eastbourne, Kent, Poole and Somerset.
It has been under construction since the past 40 years and was scheduled to open in 15 January 2020, but was delayed due to ongoing work.
Its southern terminus is at U.S. Route 31E (US 31E) in Mount Washington and its northern terminus is at KY 44 in Mount Washington.
It features a 24 Megapixels full-frame CMOS sensor (with a top ISO of 6400), Leica's Maestro processor, and a 2GB buffer for sustained burst capture.
The camera is essentially a Leica M (Typ 240) but is made with alloy metals which is lighter than the usual brass top and bottom plates.
Its western terminus is at KY 44 in Mount Washington and its eastern terminus is at U.S. Route 31EX (US 31EX) in Mount Washington.
During World War II, he volunteered as an air raid warden, then spent the last two years in the British Army, based in the UK.

Among many other observations, the authors also took photographs of popular sports and other pastimes of the Burmese people, for example boat races, gambling or the Burmese form of chess.
In 1896, Ferrars returned to Europe and took up residence in the university town of Freiburg on the outskirts of the Black Forest in southern Germany.
The Ferrars' collection still constitutes the key part of the museum's holdings on the culture of Burma, presenting over 100 items, among them a large group of traditional and rare Burmese marionettes, pieces of Burmese laquerware and parts of the wooden door of a Buddhist monastery.
In his new surroundings, he continued his travels and documentary photography, as is shown by his photograph of a group of girls in a village in the Black Forest.
According to the information given in German on the museum's webpage, Ferrars' position as a British university lecturer in Germany became difficult during the years of World War I.
467 half-plate glass negatives of photographs taken with a plate camera of the time by the Ferrars couple, illustrating their book on Burma, have been archived by the Royal Geographical Society, London, and more than 300 of them are available online.

Virginia Uranium, Inc. v. Warren, 587 U.S. ___ (2019), was a United States Supreme Court case from the October 2018 term.
In a split opinion, the Court held that the state of Virginia's ban on uranium mining did not conflict with the Atomic Energy Act.
This case is significant because of its strong impact on environmentalism as well as its discussion of the interplay between state's rights and federal supremacy.
Coles Hill, Virginia, in Pittsylvania County is the location of one of the largest known uranium deposits in the United States and the seventh largest uranium deposit in the world.
The site's main uranium lode was discovered in 1979 on private land owned by the descendants of Walter Coles, who are now the founders and owners of Virginia Uranium, Incorporated.
Though VUI owned the land containing the proposed uranium mine, it was barred from mining as a result of 1982 law banning uranium mining.
The law, which Virginia enacted a few years after the notorious Three Mile Island disaster in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the state of Virginia adopted a ban on uranium mining in 1982.
Though VUI claimed that its proposed mining site would have generated up to $4.8 billion in net revenue for Virginia businesses, environmental groups criticized the plans, noting that uranium mining contributed to increased cancer rates, acidification of waterways, and air pollution.
State Senators John Watkins and Richard Saslaw sponsored a bill that would have created a licensing scheme for issuing uranium permits in 2013.
However, following the election of Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe and his vow to veto any effort to lift the uranium ban, VUI decided to pursue a judicial remedy instead.
Broadly speaking, the development of uranium is a three step process: physically mining the uranium from the ground; milling the ore to produce yellowcake (urania); and safely securing the waste material (known as 'tailings').
The federal Atomic Energy Act of 1954 confers the responsibility for regulating the second and third steps of the process (milling ore to create yellowcake and storing the tailings) to the United States Atomic Energy Commission (now the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) following the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974).
VUI's argument is that Virginia's ban on mining was in fact motivated by health and safety concerns related to milling ore and storing the waste.
Though VUI conceded that the state had the authority to regulate mining, they argued that the Virginia General Assembly's improper motivation for passing the law meant that it should be prempted by the federal Atomic Energy Act and the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.
Judge Jackson L. Kiser of the Western District granted Virginia's motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, ruling in part that the Atomic Energy Act did not conflict with Virginia's ban on uranium mining.
Though the District Court acknowledged that prior Supreme Court precedent required states to have a non-safety rationale to regulate activities that were within the NRC's purview, it also determined that first phase of uranium development (mining) was not covered by the AEA.
VUI appealed again, this time to the United States Supreme Court, which granted a writ of certiorari agreeing to hear the case on May 21, 2018.
The majority opinion, authored by Justice Neil Gorsuch and joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh, held that the Virginia moratorium on uranium mining was not preempted by the federal Atomic Energy Act.
Gorsuch's opinion emphasized that the plain language of the Atomic Energy Act was that it regulated activity only after the uranium was removed from the earth, leaving regulation of mining activity to the states.
Gorsuch also rejected the approach of examining the state legislature's purpose for enacting the ban, stating that such an inquiry would generate unnecessary inconsistencies and intrude on the state legislature's ability to have a free and open debate.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, writing for herself and for Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, wrote a separate opinion concurring with Gorsuch's final judgment.
However, they did not join the part of Gorsuch's opinion which discussed role of inquiring into the state legislature's purpose, which they viewed as falling outside the scope of the case.
Roberts asserted that the majority failed to reckon with whether a state could indirectly regulate a preempted activity (such as the milling and storage of uranium) by regulating a non-preempted activity (such as mining).

Antanas Varnelis (1971 – September 28, 1994) was a Lithuanian serial killer who killed six people and attempted to kill three more between July and December 1992, in several municipalities around the country (Kelmė, Šiauliai, Raseiniai, Šakiai and Jurbarkas).
He was later executed for these crimes, the fifth of seven people executed before the capital punishment was abolished in Lithuania.
Varnelis was born on January 1, 1971 in the village of in the Telšiai District, in a family with six more children (three boys and three girls).
The family was dysfunctional: both parents were alcoholics and all of their children, including young Antanas, were sent to various homes.
He was prone to theft and asocial behavior, for which, at the age of 11, he was transferred to a specialized boarding school for difficult teenagers in the town of Gelgaudiškis.
In August 1987, at the age of 16, Varnelis was first convicted of stealing 12 beer bottles and a chicken from grocery store.
He underwent an examination in a psychiatric hospital in , where he was diagnosed with mild intellectual disability with pronounced psychopathic tendencies but was judged competent to stand trial.
Just a few months later, he robbed a passer-by, stealing his wallet, and was sentenced to 4 years imprisonment in Pravieniškės.
After his release, Varnelis cohabited with an acquaintance from the orphanage, but soon quarreled with him and left for his older brother Pranas, who worked on a private farm in Gelgaudiškis.
While in Gelgaudiškis, in June 1992, under the threat of a knife, Varnelis attempted to rape a 13-year-old local resident, also stealing a loaf of bread and 300 rubles from her.
They did receive a description of Varnelis and were able to prepare a facial composite from two men that Varnelis sold the stolen items to.
At the end of August 1992, Varnelis arrived in the town of Šimkaičiai in the Jurbarkas District, where he met a friend from the orphanage and got a job working with him on a farm.
Varnelis was almost caught red-handed at the site: while he was still in the house cooking eggs, a relative of the victim arrived to check upon the old man.
On November 14, near the village of in the Kelmė District, Varnelis killed for the 4th time – another lonely pensioner, from whom he stole a bicycle, a raincoat, a coffee grinder, hair spray, several bottles of homemade wine and groceries.
The body of the 68-year-old woman, who was hit a total of nine times with an axe, was found a week later covered by straws.
Between November 20 and 21, near in the Šiauliai District, Varnelis broke into an empty house but did not find anything of value.
He then separately attacked two villagers with an axe – a 48-year-old man who was robbed of his motorbike and a 69-year-old woman who was robbed of 6,000 talonas.
On December 5, in the village of in the Raseiniai District, Varnelis killed two women, a 92-year-old woman and her 68-year-old daughter-in-law.
He remained in the house overnight drinking found champagne, and on leaving, he stole several bottles of alcohol, two pairs of watches, two gold wedding rings, groceries and 15,000 talonas.
On the evening of December 21, 1992, in the village of in the Kaunas District, Varnelis was identified by locals based on his tattoos.
At the trial, Varnelis' defense focused on his disability, difficult childhood, and the fact that he confessed and cooperated with the police.
In his final statement, Varnelis asked the court that, taking into account all the mentioned circumstances, he be sentenced to life imprisonment.
However, on February 1, 1994, the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court of Lithuania, chaired by , found the 23-year-old Varnelis guilty of all charges and sentenced him to be executed by shooting.
His clemency petition was rejected by the President of Lithuania Algirdas Brazauskas on September 16, and Varnelis was executed on September 28, 1994 in Vilnius.
Colmar Grünhagen was born in Trebnitz (as Trzebnica was then known) and grew up in Breslau (as Wrocław was known before 1944/45).
Between 1841 and 1847 he was a pupil initially at Breslau's St. Maria Magdalena Gymnasium (secondary school) and then at the .
During 1850 he studied briefly at the University of Breslau before moving on again, this time to the University of Halle.
Meanwhile it was from the University of Halle that on 21 December 1850 Grünhagen received his doctorate for a piece of work on the pontiff who famously (for historians) launched the First Crusade with a powerful sermon preached on a hillside just outside Clermont on 27 November 1095, Pope Urban II.
At Easter 1853 he began work as a teaching assistant at the Friedrichs-Gymnasium (secondary school) in the city, becoming a full teacher there a few months later.
The prestigious titles dated back to the late medieval period, but the core responsibilities of the head of the archives department appear to have remained broadly constant.
Through his long tenure in these positions and as a result of the impressive quantity and detail of his output on Silesian history, Grünhagen became highly influential in his chosen specialist field, as well as with the Historical Association and the historian community more broadly.
On 18 December 1866 he accepted an extraordinary professorship in History from the University of Breslau, where he continued to teach till 1911.
In 1871 Colmar Grünhagen was elected to the presidency of the , retaining this position till 1905, following which he retained the title of honorary president.
He also became an honorary member of the and, in 1868, a board member with the Silesian Museum for Arts and Antiquities, which he later chaired.
He was also a regular contributor to the Feuilleton (arts and literature) section of the Breslaauer Zeitung, the , the Zeitschrift für Preußische Geschichte und Landeskunde and other historical periodicals.
Tsering Dolma (1919 - 21st November 1964) was the founder of the non-profit refugee organisation Tibetan Children's Villages and is the older sister of the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzing Gyatso.
She is the eldest sister of the 14th Dalai Lama, and acted as a midwife to her mother during his birth in 1940 at the age of 16.
She was part of the 1950 Tibetan delegation to India who met with Jawaharlal Nehru, and she also formed part of a 1954 delegation to Beijing to meet with Mao Zedong and the National People's Congress.
She fled Tibet to India in response to the 1959 Tibetan uprising alongside her brother and other prominent Tibetans with he support of the Central Intelligence Agency's Special Activities Center.
In exile she established Tibetan Children's Villages who assisted in the building and running of refugee camps for children in Dharamshala.

Claire O'Kelly (21 July 1916-23 October 2004) was an Irish archaeologist, notable as the first person to write up an accessible account of Irish archaeological sites.
She was key to the realisation of the importance of the solstice connection of the Newgrange structure, and the first person to create a full collection of drawings of the decorated stones of Newgrange.
She became a national school teacher until she went to University College Cork in the 1930s, studying archaeology under Professor Seán O'Riordan.
She met her future husband, Michael J. O'Kelly, known to family as Brian, while in college, and together they were involved in work on many of Ireland's historical sites, and on the setting up of the Cork Public Museum in 1945.
O'Kelly used her fluency in Irish and her knowledge of archaeology to create the necessary archaeological terms for the definitive English/Irish Dictionary edited by Tomás de Bháldraithe.
She was behind the research which led to the discovery of Newgrange's solar importance, made drawings of the stones of the Boyne Valley sites, most notably Newgrange, and published accessible texts on Newgrange and Dowth.
O'Kelly wrote several books for public understanding on the history and importance of Irish sites, and her content is used for the website of Newgrange, for example, even today.
Her significance in archaeology and history was recognised when she was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1984.
She was friends with Gabriel Hayes who used her hands as the models for the stations of the cross in Galway cathedral.
By cutting her masts and discharging part of her cargo was later refloated and taken in to Jersey in a severely damaged condition.
Her mother Rama Bakhle, a writer who graduated Karve Universtiy, then moved the family to Mumbai to be with her uncle who was an artist and general manager of Western Railways.
After three years of schooling, she wanted to study abroad to expand her education, but lost the support of higher education from her uncle.
Sankalia began working and teaching modern architecture at the new Academy of Architecture, giving her the education she felt she missed from school.
She credits Vina Mody as a guru in the field, who hired Sankalia to work in construction sites alongside masons, carpenters, and electricians.
Along side Mody she gives Pravina Meghta credit on massively inspiring her creativity within architecture, later becoming one of the first female work partners in the country.
In 1957 she married Hema Bakhle, a 'pavement dweller' engineer, Until his death in 1984, he consistently supported Sankalia's career path.
Sankalia and Mody went on to form (Contemporary Arts and Crafts), to create household products and educate the Indian artisan and consumer about the modern world.
Her commissions over time outside of household appliances included houses, women's hostels, printing presses, hospitals, research centers, governmental offices, and educational institutions.
She took part in forming the designs for the states EPCO (Environmental Planning and Coordination Organization) between 1987 and 1988, designed as part ashram and part modern edifice.

The foliage is extremely thin, so that the anatomy of the ancient branches may be distinctly seen in the height of summer.
In the early 19th century the tree was owned by Charles Stourton, 17th Baron Stourton and then The Honorable Mr Petre.
It is said to have decayed greatly between 1773 and 1804; in 1794 another leading branch fell, causing alarm to nearby residents.
In 1806 its circumference measured at a height of from the ground was and in 1822 it was measured at at ground level.
By this time many of the branches are said to be completely rotten and held up only by the bark; the leading branch extended some from the trunk and had been supported by wooden props.
The hollow trunk was said to be large enough to hold 70 people, if children were carried on the adults' shoulders.
One of these, planted at Drury in the 1870s, is now known as the Runciman Oak and has a circumference of almost measured at a height of from ground level.

A collective collection, also known as a shared print program, involves mostly academic or research libraries collaborating to retain, develop, and provide access to their physical collections.
Each library participating in a collective collection agrees to retain certain titles for a given period of time, usually at least ten years.
This practice ensures that the collective collection contains a predetermined number of unique items (such as specific editions of books and complete runs of journals) and that these items will be cared for and made available to all libraries participating in the collective collection.
To prevent the loss of a unique title, participating libraries determine an appropriate number of copies that should be retained, so that if one were lost or destroyed, other copies would remain available.
Shared print programs base these decisions on the number of libraries involved, the size of the collective collection, availability of the item outside of the collective collection, and other factors.
Secondarily, collective collections enable participating libraries to make informed decisions about weeding locally held volumes that are duplicated in the collective collection.
In turn, this practice enables libraries to repurpose shelf space, whether to accommodate other print materials or to create a greater number and variety of spaces for users, especially students, to study, collaborate, teach, consult, and pursue other research and learning activities.
A distributed (or decentralized) collective shared print collection is one in which items in the collection are retained at the original library but are accessible to all partnering libraries.
Centralized collective collections are those in which books and journals are removed from the original library and stored in a shared shelving facility.
In many cases this shared shelving facility is a high-density preservation facility built according to the Harvard model, featuring rigorous temperature and climate controls to facilitate preservation of materials, along with elevated stacks and special shelving methods to maximize storage efficiency.
The Florida Academic Repository (FLARE), a centralized storage facility that houses millions of books on behalf of the State University System of Florida and the University of Miami, is an example of a collective collection that follows the Harvard model.
A consortium can create and manage a formal agreement (such as a memorandum of understanding), signed by each participating library’s director, which ensures that certain books, journals, or other materials are both retained and made available to other libraries, generally through interlibrary loan.
The consortium can also establish criteria for shelving environments (to ensure long-term preservation), as well as outline the methods for providing access to titles to other participating libraries.
The Center for Research Libraries (CRL) hosts a Print Archives Preservation Registry (PAPR) to record titles, holdings, and conditions of serials held in major shared print programs across the United States.
In 2018, CRL and OCLC were awarded a $1 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to enable collective collection retention commitments for serials to be reflected in the global union catalog WorldCat.
As of May 2019, nearly eighty libraries in the United States had committed to retain nearly 18 million books for 25 years under the HathiTrust Shared Print Program.
As of December 2018, more than sixty academic libraries participating in the Eastern Academic Scholars' Trust (EAST) had committed to retain more than 6 million monographs for at least 15 years.
Collective collections programs outside the United States include Finland’s National Repository Library, Australia's CAVAL Archival and Research Materials (CARM) Centre, Canada's Keep@Downsview, and the United Kingdom's U.K. Research Reserve.
Libraries’ efforts to collectively manage and provide access to their holdings date back to antiquity and extend through twentieth-century projects such as the Farmington Plan.
Funding reductions and escalating storage costs, as well as space constraints, for physical collections in the 2000s created an environment where library directors needed to rely on partnerships with consortia and other libraries.
In 2002 Richard Fyffe argued that librarians needed to start a dialogue with stakeholders and patrons in the scholarly community about the need to rely more on collective collections.
Born in Poznan, Nędzyński was arrested by Soviet troops at the start of World War II, and spent three years in a labour camp.
At the end of the war, instead of returning to Poland, Nędzyński moved to England, where he completed a doctorate at the University of London.
He then began working for the Post Office Engineering Union, then in the early 1950s found work with the economics department of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU).
He returned to the ICFTU in 1961, directly recruited by its leader, Omer Becu, and made assistant general secretary with responsibility for organisation.
When Becu retired from the ICFTU in 1967, Nędzyński was a leading candidate to replace him, but George Woodcock vetoed his candidacy, on the grounds that Nędzyński had already quit two jobs with the ICFTU.

The Transamazonian orogeny was a mountain building event in the Paleoproterozoic, affecting what is now the São Francisco Craton and Guyana Shield.
During the orogeny from 2.14 to 1.94 billion years ago two small Archean proto-continents—including the greenstone belt-dominated Gavião Block and the calc-alkaline charnockite and enderbite-dominated Jequié Block—collided.
The Contendas-Jacobina Lineament represents a suture zone where the collision occurred and the Gavião Block partially subducted under the Jequié Block.
At the same time, another small continental fragment, the Serrinha Block, may have collided as well and was extensively reworked and metamorphosed, with orthogneiss and migmatite reaching amphibolite-grade on the sequence of metamorphic facies.
Several magmatic arcs formed between the colliding proto-continent blocks, including the Salvador-Curaçá Belt, Contendas-Mirante Belt, Jacobina-Mundo Novo Belt and Itabuna-Atlantic Belt.
To the west of the Gavião Block, the Guanambi-Urandi Batholith formed with monzonite, granite intrusions and syenite, which was subsequently covered by Neoproterozoic sedimentary rocks.
In the Guyana Shield, the Transamazonian orogeny resulted in refolding and reactivation of older tectonic features from the Guriense orogeny, producing horst and graben areas and intense pyroclastic ignimbrite and rhyolite eruptions.

Mario was allegedly born as Mario Comte Caracciolo di Melito into a wealthy noble family in Naples, Italy, in 1883 (some sources claim his birth year as 1894).
He worked as an attache at the Italian embassy in Washington, D.C., where he met and married Miriam Crosby in 1915.
He also had a fling with a young actress named Lucille LeSueur (better by the stage name she took on later, Joan Crawford).
Over the course of the decade, he appeared in several dozen films before returning to Italy with the aim of starting his own production company.
There appears to be a case of mistaken identity at the heart of stories in the press that he was the Mario Caracciolo who was given supreme command of the Italian army's technical service by Mussolini during World War II.
The Guriense orogeny was a mountain building event in the Archean 2.8 to 2.7 billion years ago, preserved in the Guyana Shield rocks of Venezuela, Guyana and Suriname.

The Capture of Tobruk was a battle fought between 21 and 22 January 1941, as part of Operation Compass, the first British military offensive of the Western Desert Campaign of the Second World War.
After defeating the Italians in the Battle of Bardia (3–5 January 1941), the 6th Australian Division and the 7th Armoured Division pressed on and made contact with the Italian garrison in Tobruk on 6 January.
In September 1940 the Italian invasion of Egypt had begun but stopped after at Sidi Barrani where the Italians dug in.
At first the British prepared to resist an Italian advance on Mersa Matruh but when this did not occur a raid by the Western Desert Force, with the possibility of exploiting success, was planned on the Italian positions around Sidi Barrani.
The raid, Operation Compass, began on 9 December 1940 with the surprise Attack on Nibeiwa where the Italian brigade-sized Maletti Group, the only Italian armoured formation in Egypt, was annihilated.
On the morning of 5 January, while Australian forces were still mopping up the southern cauldron at Bardia, Wavell ordered the 7th Armoured Brigade of the 7th Armoured Division to advance west, pass Tobruk and cut it off.
The 19th Australian Brigade group placed itself opposite the eastern defences of Tobruk and the 16th Australian Brigade group took over on the western side.
The 4th Armoured Brigade moved to the west of the city, the 7th Support Group blocked the western exits and the 7th Armoured Brigade screened the force from interference from the west.
Graziani informed Mussolini that the -long Tobruk perimeter was manned by only 22,000 men with 340 guns, a number wholly inadequate for the task.
After being informed by Graziani that he was on his own Mannella had the bridge at Sidi Daud on the Bardia road and the bridge at Wadi es Sahel on the Derna road destroyed.
Although Pitassi Mannella had thirty-two L3/35 tankettes and thirty-nine M11/39 tanks, only seven of the latter were operational and in three weeks of attempts to repair the M11/39s only three were serviceable enough to move in an engagement.
After it had become obvious in the autumn of 1940 that the L3/35 was obsolete and the M11/39 badly designed and prone to break down, the XXI Light Tank Battalion and part of the I Medium Tank Battalion had departed for Benghazi to be re-equipped with the new M13/40 tank.
Pitassi Mannella had received no spares or fuel for the tanks and had the lightly armed and thinly armoured L3/35 and the M11/39s buried in the sand as strong points.
The first line of the Eastern Sector was manned by the troops of the reinforced with four companies from the 69th Infantry Regiment.
Expecting the main attack from this direction, Pitassi Mannella established a second line of defence behind the strong points, based on a small hill at the junction of the El Adem and Bardia roads.
At the second line under command of the 4th Tank Infantry Regiment, every available tank was dug in as a strong point.
Sub-sectors A and B were defended by a battalion each from the 70th Infantry Regiment, while Blackshirt Battalion (Libyan Volunteers) manned sub-sector C. Behind the first line of defence were five strong points manned by the III Battalion, 70th Infantry Regiment which doubled as the reserve unit for the three battalions in the first line.
The commander of the 69th Infantry Regiment received the reserves Pitassi Mannella could muster, an understrength tank company with seven M11/39s and two ad hoc formations, consisting of one Motorcycle company, one infantry company, one machine gun platoon, an anti-tank platoon and an anti-aircraft section each.
To make up for the lack of anti-tank mines Pitassi Mannella had 2,200 bombs and 800 bombs, left behind by the (Royal Italian Air Force), buried upright in the desert, in the hope that a British tank passing over them would trigger the impact fuze.
Pitassi Mannella organised the artillery into three groups, two for the Eastern Sector with 123 guns and one for the Western Sector with 97.
Assuming (correctly) that the Commonwealth troops would attack from the south, Pitassi Mannella sent the II/43rd and III/55th groups with 75/27 mod.
With no air reconnaissance, Pitassi Mannella was unaware of the British artillery positions and as most British artillery had a longer range than the Italian artillery, mostly of First World War-vintage there, was little chance of effective counter-battery fire.
Pitassi Mannella decided to employ every gun capable of direct fire as anti-tank artillery and managed to assemble 110 anti-tank guns; thirty-two 37 mm guns in the buried M11/39s, forty-three 47/32 mod.
16 naval gun (found in the naval stores); armour-piercing ammunition was available only for the 37 mm and 47 mm anti-tank guns.
After surrounding Tobruk, the WDF had exhausted the ample Italian supplies captured at Capuzzo and Sollum; O'Connor directed that the supplies flowing through the port of Sollum ( per day in early January and daily late in the month) to the 10th and 11th Field Depots he had set up about east of Tobruk.
Concerned mostly about not having enough fuel and supplies for the offensive after the fall of Tobruk, O'Connor delayed the attack to accumulate more supplies.
As the 7th Armoured Division had suffered more losses than the 6th Australian Division, O'Connor decided that the Australians would lead the attack.
The two most depleted units, the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars and the 6th Royal Tank Regiment, were withdrawn and their equipment distributed to the other four regiments of the armoured brigades.
The first wave of the attack was to be the 16th Australian Brigade and the 7th Royal Tank Regiment, followed by the 17th Australian Brigade and the 19th Australian Brigade.
On 19 January the Royal Air Force (RAF) dropped leaflets calling on the Italians to surrender but Pitassi Mannella took no notice.
For the rest of the night RAF Wellington bombers attacked port installations, defensive positions and drowned out the sound of the British tanks assembling for the attack.
At the British artillery opened fire along the entire line, concentrating on an area about by rectangle where the sub-sectors A and B of the Eastern Sector met.
Under cover of night Australian sappers and the British artillery-fire cleared a path through the thin Italian minefield in the area and at first light the 2/3rd Australian Battalion attacked.
At 7:00 a.m., 18 Matilda II tanks passed through the breach, three of which veered left with the 2/3rd Australian Battalion, while another three veered right with the 2/1st Australian Battalion to expand the breach.
The first unit to be overrun by the 2/2nd was the CV/25th Artillery Group, which had no time to lay their guns for direct fire before they were overrun.
The lack of radios of the Italian units proved to be a severe disadvantage; telephone lines had been cut by the British aerial and artillery bombardment and Pitassi Mannella only received notice of the British attack at around from a despatch rider.
By the Australian 2/2nd Battalion had reach Sidi Mahmud and the 2/1st Battalion was at Sidi Daud; the 17th Australian Brigade with the 2/6th Australian Battalion and 2/27th Australian Battalion had captured the Italian artillery positions between the two points.
By 10:30 a.m. the Australians had overrun four of the Italian strongpoints and destroyed six of the ten artillery groups in the area.
At the 19th Australian Brigade supported by A Squadron of the 6th Australian Division Cavalry Regiment had set off and towards the 4th Tank Infantry Regiment.
A company and three M11/39 tanks that tried to plug the gap in the second line were defeated within minutes, the three M11/39s being knocked out.
Between and the 19th Australian Brigade attacked the position of the 4th Tank Infantry Regiment with such ferocity that 70 per cent of the officers, including both battalion commanders, and 50 per cent of the troops were killed in action.
During the day, Blenheims of 55 and 113 squadrons flew against Tobruk and the Gloster Gladiators and Hawker Hurricanes of No.
At Pitassi Mannella ordered the mobile reserve, with the seven operational M11/39s, to attack the Australian left flank from behind an artillery barrage.
Two Australian anti-tank guns and two tanks destroyed five of the seven M11/39s and when Australian infantry pushed forward the mobile reserve surrendered.
At the 2/8th Australian Battalion attacked the Pilastrino position, while the 2/4th Australian Battalion had reached and surrounded the Italian headquarters at the abandoned Fort Solaro.
Having lost contact with forces outside of Tobruk, Admiral Massimiliano Vietina organised the defence of the harbour with the few men at his disposal.
Graziani had denied his request to make a sacrificial attack on the Royal Navy ships outside the harbour and Vietina began systematically to destroy the harbour and its stores.
At 8:30 a.m. Vietina surrendered to General Horace Robertson of the 19th Australian Infantry Brigade, followed shortly afterwards by General Della Mura, who surrendered with the remnants of the Pilastrino position.
Most of the demolitions had been of stores rather than installations; the Inshore Squadron of the Royal Navy began mine sweeping immediately and opened the port on 24 January.
The Italians suffered more than 24,000 casualties, 18 officers and 750 soldiers had been killed, 30 officers and 2,250 men had been wounded and more than 20,000 men had become prisoners of war.
By the surrender O'Connor's divisions had already pressed on, the 7th Armoured Division reaching Mechili and fighting the Action at Mechili on 24 January, while the 6th Australian Division had reached the Italian forward positions at Derna on the same day.
The Directorate-General of the Civil Guard (DGGC) is a component of the Spanish Department of the Interior responsible for exercising the direct command of the Civil Guard law enforcement agency.
The DGGC, integrated in the Secretariat of State for Security, is in charge of organize, direct, coordinate and execute the missions entrusted to the Civil Guard by the provisions in force, in accordance with the guidelines and orders issued by the Ministers of the Interior and of Defense, within the scope of their respective powers.
Since its inception, it has been integrated in the Ministry of the Interior and it has been dependent also from the Ministry of Defence, in all the maters related to the military nature of the agency.
The Directorate-General of the Civil Guard is headed by the Director-General, an official appointed by the Prime Minister at the joint request of the Defence and Interior Ministers.
To assist the Director-General there is a Deputy Director of Operations (DAO), a Civil Guard officer with the rank of Lieutenant general.
The need to create a rural agency that gave security to the fields and roads of Spain was evident in the first half of the 19th century.
The confiscation processes of the mentioned century, the fractionation of rural property, the dissolution of the National Militia and the political vicissitudes and continuous changes of government were some of the causes that led to the birth of the Civil Guard by Royal Decree of March 28, 1844.
He made a report explaining how the agency and the remuneration system to the agents should be regulated, a report that considerably reduced the budget, and that caused the approval of a new Royal Decree on May 13 that repealed that of April —which did not come into force— and that is the true date of creation of the agency.
The aforementioned decree of May 13, 1844 created a Inspectorate-General as the central administrative organ in all the matters relating the agency's organization, personnel, discipline and material, and related to both the Ministry of War and the Ministry of the Interior.
The creation of the Inspectorate became effective with the appointment of its first holder, Francisco Javier Girón, who was rewarded for his work in creating the agency with that position on September 1, 1844.
He will direct his organization dedicating himself with special and exquisite care to establish and perfect the privileged and interesting service to which said agency is dedicated, proposing to the Royal approval the improvements or variations that time and experience prove necessary to its perfection.
On December 29, 1857, a Royal Decree stipulates that the Urban Guard of Madrid would depend on the Inspector-General of the Civil Guard and on March 24, 1858, another new Decree provided that the Urban Guard would depend on the Ministry of the War in terms of organization, personnel, armament and discipline and that of the Interior in relation to services, payment of salaries, quartering and material.
With this agency practically integrated into the Civil Guard, on October 12, 1864, the organ was renamed as the Directorate-General of the Civil Guard.
After a failed coup d'etat on August 10, 1932, the government of the Second Republic reformed the law enforcement agencies and, as a result, by decree of August 16, 1932, the DGGC is abolished and the Inspection-General is recovered, with full and unique dependence from the Interior Department.
After the Civil War and the rebellious victory, the great part of the Carabineros remained loyal to the republic, and although a large part of the Civil Guard also, the first was punished with its dissolution and integration in the second mainly by the great prestige that, already at the time, had this last.
This was done through the Law of 15 March 1940, which also integrated the Civil Guard into the Armed Forces, although it maintained the Interior Ministry and Civil Governors (provincial leaders) dependence, in all matters relating to services, barracks, wages and material.
The Spanish transition to democracy was a time of great changes in the field of public safety, although they don't affected excessively the Directorate-General.
In 1994 a new phenomenon occurs, such as the integration of two important departaments, that of Justice and that of the Interior.
The DGGC is renamed as General Secretariat-Directorate-General of the Civil Guard (since 1986 it had the rank of general secretariat) until 1996, when both departments separated.
Between September 2006 and December 2011, the Directorates-General of the Police and of the Civil Guard were merged by Prime Minister Zapatero with the purpose of «carry out the tasks of both police forces in a more integral, homogeneous and coordinated way».
In 2008, it was known that the Interior Minister, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, was not comfortable with this union of command and wanted to split them again, but that wasn't the opinion of the Prime Minister and remained together.
In addition, the positions of Deputy Directors of Operations  (Director Adjunto Operativo, DAO) were created as a technical assistance organ to the director-general.
With the arrival of Prime Minister Rajoy to the government and the appointment of Juan Ignacio Zoido as Interior Miniter, they decided to split the command again considering that the coordination task was a duty of the Secretary of State for Security and that every agency needed to have their own command.
In July 2017, Minister Zoido abolished the positions of Deputy Directors of Operations, a decision that was reversed by Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska in July of the following year.

The Early Ruker orogeny was a mountain building event from 2.0 to 1.7 billion years ago in the Proterozoic and a key event in the assembly of Antarctica.
It was filmed at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City, on November 11, 2018 during her world tour Gira 100 años contigo.
on September 6, 2018, in which the band's singer, Hanna Nicole, reported that the concert in Mexico, were being filmed for a DVD release.
The 1928 Bluefield Big Blue football team was an American football team that represented the Bluefield Institute (now known as Bluefield State College) during the 1927 college football season.
The Late Ruker orogeny also known as the Nimrod orogeny was a mountain building event around 1 billion years ago in the Proterozoic.
Stromatolite carbonate beds and quartz arenite in the Shackleton Range serves as evidence for a stable platform and epicratonic sea during the period.
Deanside railway station was a short-lived railway station that served the suburb of Hillington, Glasgow, Scotland from 1903 to 1905 on the Glasgow and Renfrew District Railway.
The station closed in 1905, 21 years earlier than the others on the line, and the signal box closed in 1925.
The event is preserved in the Trans-Antarctic Mountains, potentially in the Shackleton Range and by argillite-greywacke series in the Horlick Mountains, Queen Maud Land and the Thiel Mountains.
Upright folds, asymmetric overturned or recumbent isoclinal folds first identified by Elliott in 1975 was interpreted in 1992 by Edmund Stump as indicative of compressive and convergent tectonic activity.
The orogeny is expressed as an unconformity in the Transantarctic Mountains, between folded Late Proterozoic strata and overlying Early or Middle Cambrian sediments.
The Borchgrevink orogeny also termed the Borchgrevink event is a proposed mountain building event in Antarctica in the Devonian and Silurian.
The event is recorded by metamorphic rocks in Victoria Land as well as igneous and metamorphic rocks found throughout Marie Byrd Land, Thurston Island and the Antarctic Peninsula.
More than other geological events in Antarctica, whether the Borchgrevink event constitutes an orogeny is a subject of debate among geologists.
After initial radiometric dating indicated the event in the late 1960s and into the 1970s, a German expedition in 1981 failed to uncover evidence of deformation and compressional tectonics in North Victoria Land.
The WHO/HAI methodology and database is one of the projects that were created in response, along with the WHO recommending the implementation of centralized price sharing systems and the implementation of pharmaceutical price cost-containment policies.
ERP is a widely accepted tool to design cost-containment policies, used in the European Union, Brazil, Jordan, South Africa, Canada, and Australia.
For this usage, each country usually has a legal framework to define the calculation of ERP and selection of reference products, with variations across high-income countries (e.g., using the median price or instead the lowest price across the reference countries), but the majority use ex-factory prices.
For example, Pakistan uses prices from Bangladesh and India, while Iran uses prices from Greece, Spain, Turkey and the drug country of origin.
However pricing data from LMICs can be lacking, and in such situations, international medicine prices can be obtained from the International Medical Products Price Guide.
The United Kingdom has a critical role in the ERP system, as it is often used as a reference country since medication prices are often low, although it is not using ERP itself.
Furthermore, the 2008 global financial crisis added to the financial pressure, which prompted most European countries to consider health expenditures as a major target for healthcare cost reduction.
ERP is one of the major mechanism used by these countries for this purpose, along others such as direct price control (i.e., fixed maximum prices), profit ceiling, internal reference pricing and free pricing.
ERP is most commonly used by high-income countries to control the prices of patented medicines, or with other intellectual property rights such as pricing monopolies, for therapeutic agents that are state-reimbursed.
Japan is an exception, using ERP to systematically adjust local prices within a range of the ERP according to a formula.
Few studies have investigated the impact of ERP on high-income countries, but two studies conducted in countries both inside and outside of the European Union found no substantial decrease or increase in drug prices.
Furthermore, with the widespread adoption of ERP, pharmaceutical manufacturers are developing counter strategies to limit the negative impacts on them, such as reduced drug prices.
One strategy is to delay the launch of new drug products into the market, as is the case with Belgium, being usually not among the countries with the highest drug prices in the European Union.
This increase in the launch delay of new medicines is however observed to some extent in all European countries implementing ERP.
Another observed strategy in Germany and New Zealand is to deliberately keep the prices of some medicines high, knowing these countries would later be used as reference countries to derive higher external reference prices.
In several European countries, implementing ERP led to a decrease of the average drug price, but not the maximum nor minimum drug prices.
Since the ERP was the sole criterion for drug pricing in these countries, the observed decrease can only be due to ERP implementation.
It was also observed that prices decreases was correlated with the frequency of price revision, with countries infrequently revising prices having flat prices, whereas those with frequent revising saw a regular price decline over time.
A report for the European Commission simulated various ERP use strategies for drug price regulation, and found that frequent price revisions, iterative price cuts, having a large number of countries in the basket, price calculation methods, the impact of generics and prices’ sources were the most influent parameters on the drug prices evolution over time for countries using ERP as their main criterion for drug price regulation.
High medicine price and availability are the two crucial obstacles preventing one-third of the global population, or about two billion people, mainly in low and moderate-income countries (LMICs, as defined by the World Bank), from accessing needed medication.
There is evidence that medicine prices are not correlated to income differences between countries, with essential medicines being higher priced in low income countries than in high income countries due to retail markups.
Indeed, their out-of-pocked expenditure increased, with 61% to 77% (per capita) of total pharmaceutical expenditure being paid by individuals out of their pocket with no state-reimbursement.
Pharmaceuticals expenditures also account for an important share of all expenditure on health, particularly in low-income countries with a mean of 30.4% in 2006 compared to 19.7% in high-income countries.
However, inspired by the use of ERP by high-income countries and the lesser technical and analytical requirements to implement ERP compared to other price control mechanisms such as cost-plus or pharmacoeconomic analysis, LMICs are increasingly following suit, by using ERP in combination with other methods of cost control (cost plus, internal reference pricing, profit controls, economic evaluation, direct fixation).
However, some countries such as Turkey and Indonesia saw a decrease in drug prices following the implementation of ERP, although there is no objectively direct evidence this decrease was caused by the introduction of ERP.
, a systematic review found that markup regulation and ERP are the most commonly implemented drug pricing policies in LMICs, followed by cost-plus and the use of generics.
Another review found limited evidence that implementing ERP had the effect of narrowing down the prices, by lowering drug prices in high-price countries and raising them in low-price countries.
Hence, it is suggested that optimal ERP implementations are dependent on a clear set of requirements and calculation in full transparency, and that ERP should not be used as the sole pricing mechanism but rather as one benchmark for pricing decisions.
ERP differs from internal reference pricing, or therapeutic reference pricing, where the price of a medication is compared against other domestic drugs that are its therapeutic equivalents, based on a given ATC level.
This sets a reference price for a class of equivalent or similar therapeutic agents, the rest being paid out-of-pocket by the patient.
Hence, a prerequisite of internal reference pricing is the availability of comparable medicines, which usually implies this can be implemented only after patents expiry and when generic or biosimilar medicines enter the market.
Internal reference pricing may reduce expenditures in the short term by incentivizing people to use the reference drugs at the reference price, but the effect on drugs with a higher price than reference and on health is uncertain.
In 2016, out of 42 surveyed countries including WHO European countries, Canada and South Africa, 30 reported having internal reference pricing between generics, but only 15 also applied this policy to biosimilar medicines.
The party was rebranded from its previous party's name, United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation using the same UPKO acronym; which was a widely known Kadazan-Dusun-Murut (KDM) based party in 2019.
The party had earlier been renamed once before in 1999 from its initial 1994 formation name of Sabah Democratic Party (PDS).
PBS had initially won a majority in the Sabah State Legislative Assembly then but with the two breakaway factions, one led by Dompok to set-up PDS and another led by Joseph Kurup to form United Sabah People's Party (PBRS); had caused the crumble of PBS new Sabah government and allowed BN to form the government instead.
Part of the enticement offered by BN to the defectors was the promise of a rotating Chief Ministers of Sabah post, which Dompok held from 1998 to 1999.
It was redefined as an ethnically-based party striving to voice the rights and advance the development of KDM populations of Sabah and the Orang Asli of Peninsular Malaysia.
In the Malaysian general election, 2013, the party was reduced from four to three federal seats and from six to four state assembly seats.
The party's core Sabahan indigenous constituency includes many Christians, while BN is, on a national scale, dominated by the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), an overtly Muslim-Malay party.
Najib had supported a government appeal to the High Court seeking to outlaw the word's use by a Christian newspaper; Dompok criticised the appeal and defended the right of Christians, especially indigenous Malaysians, to use the word.
UPKO also agitated, often against the national government of which it was a part, for tougher measures against illegal immigration in Sabah.
In the same year one of the party's federal parliamentarians, Wilfred Bumburing, quit UPKO and joined the opposition PKR in protest at what he considered to be government inaction on illegal immigration.
UPKO was an advocate for the repeal of the Internal Security Act (ISA), which for over 50 years permitted detention without charge in certain circumstances.
Following this, the party’s acting president Madius Tangau announced that UPKO with five of their party state assembly seats members had left BN to form a coalition government with the Sabah Heritage Party (WARISAN), alongside PKR and DAP and became a partner party for the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition instead.
There is also a slight change in UPKO’s logo with the inclusion of a new colour, red while the Mount Kinabalu image remains.
The party re-branding process was aimed to migrate from the communal politics to a universal and inclusive politics by opening the party membership to other races than KDM communities.
Party president, Wilfred Madius Tangau is the state Deputy Chief Minister cum cabinet Minister of Trade and Insutry while his deputy, Donald Peter Mojuntin is the son of a prominent politician, Peter Mojuntin, UPKO currently holds one seat in the federal House of Representatives, one in the Senate and six in the Sabah State Legislative Assembly.
The ancestral (also termed proto-) Trans-Antarctic Mountains were uplifted earlier by the Beardmore orogeny but had eroded as a broad epicratonic sea flooded much of Antarctica in the Cambrian.
Bimodal magmatism and extension mark the beginnings of the orogeny, while during the later phase sedimentary rocks at the continental margin were deformed, metamorphosed and intruded with granite batholiths.
Interpretations of rock forms in Antarctica during the 1980s suggested a westward-dipping subduction zone may have formed along the paleo-Pacific Ocean shoreline of East Antarctica.
During the Late Cambrian to Early Ordovician, 450-520 Ma, Cambrian sediments within the Transantarctic Mountains were uplifted, folded, metamorphosed, and intruded by granitoid batholiths.
Evidence of this origin may be found in the Shackleton Range, the Pensacola Mountains, Thiel Mountains, Horlick Mountains, and the Queen Maud Mountains.
The film features Ajay, Sriji, Rakshai, Riyaz Khan and Anu Haasan in lead roles, with Ram Khan, Harris, Vijay Kumar, Biju, Radio One Balaji, Jayashree, Lakshmi and Ammu Ramachandran playing supporting roles.
Bhanu elopes with Siva as she is afraid that her brother would not permit their marriage and they arrive in a forest but they are soon caught by Bhanu's brother and the members of the terrorist organisation in the middle of the night.
Bhanu's brother beats Siva up, takes him to the heart of the city, puts a bomb in his shoe and abandons him.
If Siva stops running or slows down the bomb in his shoe would explode killing him and also triggering a chain of explosions.
The assistant commissioner of police Aadhi Narayanan (Riyaz Khan), the bomb squad officer Anu (Anu Haasan) and the doctor Devi (Jayashree) start following Siva in cars.
Anu decides to defuse the bomb and leads Siva in a remote place where the police set up a treadmill for him.
A tired Siva starts running on the treadmill and Anu who wears a bomb suit orders the police to move away from the place.
Siva is hooked by a crane and Anu orders him to jump, at that moment she puts an adhesive surface under his shoes and the crane lifted him at an unbelievable speed.

The Bayraktar TB2 is an MALE medium altitude long endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of remotely controlled or autonomous flight operations developed by Bayraktar primarily for the Turkish Air Force (TAF).
The Bayraktar TB2 first flew in August 2014 On 18 December 2015, a video was published for the missile test of Bayraktar TB2.
In January 2018, Baykar signed an agreement with Ukrspetsproject on the purchase of 12 Turkish Bayraktar TB2 and 3 ground control stations worth $69 million for the Ukrainian army.
In June 2019, international news media reported that the Libyan Government of National Accord used Bayraktar to strike an airbase held by General Haftar's Libyan National Army.
Despite the UN embargo on Libya's ongoing civil war, it is suspected that at least 3 Bayraktar TB2 UCAV are being used over Tripoli by the UN recognized government.

Ion-Marcel Ciolacu, (born 28 November 1967) is a Romanian politician who currently serves as the President of the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of Romania and is the leader of the Social Democratic Party.
A previously little known politician, Ciolacu came into national prominence when he was propped up by former leader of the Social-Democratic Party to become deputy prime minister in 2018 in the cabinet of Prime Minister Mihai Tudose.
Initially given this office in order to control Tudose and report of his activities to Liviu Dragnea (who had been unable to become prime minister himself and was wary of Tudose becoming a power player in the party), Ciolacu soon broke with Dragnea and became an ally of Tudose against Dragnea's leadership.
He once more returned to prominence in 2019 after Liviu Dragnea had been convicted on corruption charges and sent to prison to serve a 3 years and 6 months sentence.
With the Social Democrats still controlling a weak majority both in the Chamber and in the Senate, Ciolacu was propped up by the new leadership to become the President of the Chamber of Deputies, succeeding Dragnea himself, one day after the latter's incarceration.
Ciolacu maintained a low profile until the new leader of the PSD Viorica Dăncilă was overwhelmingly defeated in the 2019 Romanian presidential election.
On 25 November 2019, one day after the presidential election, Ciolacu visited Dăncilă at home in order to convince her to step down as party leader.
Seemingly unsuccessful, Ciolacu and other party leaders forced a special party committee, where Dăncilă and the rest of her leadership were convinced to resign, lest they be excluded from the party.
In the aftermath, Ciolacu was named leader of the party ad-interim, until a party congress would select a leader in February 2020.
In 1995 he is thought to have graduated the Ecological University of Bucharest, even though that university only received its authorization later that year.
In 2012 he completed a master's programme in the Management of the Public Sector at the National University of Political Studies and Public Administration.
Ciolacu is a founding member of PSD, back when the party was known as the National Salvation Front, in the aftermath of the Romanian Revolution of 1989.
During the early nineties, Ciolacu climbed the steps in local politics and by 1996 he became the second-in-command of the Youth Organization of the party.
He entered national politics in 2012 he was first elected for a deputy seat in Parliament for which he was re-elected in 2016.
In 2017, almost completely unknown on the national political stage, Ciolacu was named deputy prime minister in the cabinet led by Mihai Tudose.
Tudose's predecessor, Sorin Grindeanu was ousted from his position by PSD itself, a move instigated by Liviu Dragnea, then-leader of the party and of the Chamber of Deputies.
Dragnea, unable to become prime minister himself in the aftermath of the landslide victory of PSD in the 2016 Romanian legislative election because of a suspended conviction for electoral fraud in 2012, was forced to find a suitable candidate for the office of prime minister, but he needed that someone to also be loyal to him on a personal level.
Grindeanu gradually broke off with Dragnea during his premiership, and by May 2017 the relationship between the two had deteriorated irreparably.
As a consequence, Grindeanu was ordered to resign by Dragnea, an order which he refused, citing his responsibility as leader of the Executive, and not merely a party pawn.
Unable to find other ways to replace Grindeanu, Dragnea ordered all other ministers in his cabinet to resign, which they did on 15 June, but not even this could make Grindeanu resign, now determined to fight with Dragnea until the end for control of both the party and his premiership.
Nevertheless, a motion of no confidence instigated by PSD against its own government was successful passing with 241 votes, 8 votes more than the required 233 threshold.
For the first time, Dragnea was facing strong dissent in the party at the prospect that President Klaus Iohannis would not name another PSD member to become prim minister, electing instead to force early elections.
Since the procedure of calling early elections laid down in the Constitution of Romania is complicated and difficult to trigger, and seeing PSD still had the necessary majority to form another government, the president decided to name Mihai Tudose, Dragnea's newest proposal as prime minister.
Tudose was not, however, Dragnea's first choice and the PSD leader needed to find ways to control him better than Grindeanu, who had shown him that the office of prime minister was strong enough to allow its holder to wrestle his power in the party away from him.
For this reason, Ciolacu was named deputy prime minister in the Tudose Cabinet, in order to become Dragnea's ears in the government.
The relationship between Tudose and Dragnea also started deteriorating rapidly, as had been the case with Grindeanu, but the two maintained publicly that there was no strain between them.
Tudose soon declared publicly that there was only one person who he would not tolerate being removed from his cabinet, Ciolacu.
In January 2018, Tudose attempted to take full control of his government by asking the resignation of his Interior minister, Carmen Dan, a Dragnea mouthpiece and loyal lieutenant.
As it became quite apparent that this was another power struggle between the prime minister and the leader of the SDP, Ciolacu publicly positioned himself in the Tudose camp.
Seeing as a majority of the party remained loyal to Dragnea, Tudose decided to resign and not face a motion of no confidence like his predecessor.
Throughout 2018 and the first half 2019 he kept himself out of the spotlight but continued the opposition against Dragnea's leadership.
In October 2018, the press reported an alleged physical altercation in Parliament between Ciolacu and Dragnea, but both denied the claim.
On 27 May 2019, Liviu Dragnea was convicted of abuse of power and sentenced to 3 years and six months in prison.
Subsequently, his position as President of the Chamber of Deputies was vacated as well as his leadership position in the party.
Ciolacu emerged once more in the public eye trying to find a way to turn himself into one of the party's main leaders.
The party's new leader, Viorica Dăncilă, the third prime minister named by Dragnea, was now looking for ways to cement her leadership of the party.
On 29 May 2019, Ciolacu was voted the new head of the Chamber, but only narrowly and with the support of PSD-breakaway party, Pro Romania, support given by former Prime Minister Tudose, a member of that party.
In October 2019, a motion of no confidence was initiated by the PNL-led opposition that successfully removed Dăncilă from power, even though Ciolacu maintained that the Dăncilă Cabinet would not fall.
Subsequently, he reluctantly supported Viorica Dăncilă's bid to the presidency of Romania but after her failure and her historically weak result, Ciolacu went on to take control of the party.
On 25 November 2019, one day after the presidential election, Marcel Ciolacu personally visited Dăncilă in her home and asked her to peacefully resign from the party's leadership, offering her a MP seat in the next legislative election.
Having initially refused, Dăncilă mulled the offer throughout the day, and on 26 November 2019 she decided to call another special party meeting where she hoped to convince the local party leaders, who were determined to oust her, to let her retain the leadership of the PSD.
Even though by the party's statute, the next in line to assume the interim leadership of the party was Eugen Teodorovici, a Dăncilă loyalist and former Minister of Finance, Ciolacu was able to become the party's leader by securing the dissolution of the entire party leadership.
Following his becoming leader of the party, he announced that PSD will be led through collective leadership and that a congress will be organized in February, by which a full leader will be appointed.
The Kimban orogeny also termed the Strangways orogeny affected the Gawler Craton in what is now Australia between 1.73 and 1.69 billion years ago in the Proterozoic.

Archaeological excavations show that in the 1st century BC an ancient Semigallian settlement existed on the hill where later Bauska Castle was built.
At the beginning of the 13th century, Bauska mound was part of land, the center of which was on the nearby Mežotne mound.
In 1254, Upmale land was divided into Archbishopric of Riga land and Livonian Order land on the left bank of the Lielupe river.
It is first mentioned in 1443 when Livonian Order ordered the erection of the fortress on the ancient mound, which was to serve as an Order border fortress on the border with competing Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
As Bauska's neighborhood was sparsely populated at that time, the castle was built by ethnic Votes, who was prisoners of war with Novgorod.
There was a church of St. Gertrude with a cemetery, a pastor's house, a pub, a school built in 1570, landlords' houses, and fishermen's cottages.
After the military setbacks Livonian War at the beginning Livonian Order in 1559, Bauska Castle was forced to mortgage its allied Lithuanians.
When the State of the Order ceased to exist after the conclusion of Treaty of Vilnius in 1561, the surrendering of Bauska Castle became part of the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia.
On May 11, 1575, a fire broke out in a Duke-owned pub that burned down the entire castle settlement () except the church.
The protection of the castle and the further growth of the town were limited by its location on a narrow peninsula.
In 1584, following the order of the Duke of Courland Gotthard Kettler, the castle settlement was dismantled and residents began to build a new town on the left bank of the Nemunėlis river at the location of modern Bauska Old Town.
Already in 1573, a wooden church was built for the Latvian congregation on the territory of the present-day garden at Trinity Lutheran Church.
In 1705, the church was in such a bad condition that the church services for the Latvian congregation were transferred to the German Church of the Holy Spirit.
In 1726, funds are being raised for the repair of the church, which is nearing its end when, in 1733, Michael Heinz, a tall skerry dragon, burns it down completely, setting fire to the church's straw roof.
Between 1591 and 1594, the city built a Bauska Evangelical Lutheran Church, which was the first stone building in the city.
In 1609, Duke Friedrich Kettler gave Bauska a stamp with the image of a lion of Courland, now considered the year of the granting of city rights.
According to the police regulations approved by Duke Friedrich, Bauska's town council consisted of eight people - a mayor, a captive (judge) and six city councilors.
It had a regular block layout consisting of two main streets parallel to Mēmele, a market square with a town hall, two Lutheran churches, and one-story wooden buildings.
There was no shortage of wealthy people in Bauska, as evidenced by the remains of the magnificent pottery found, as well as the establishment of a goldsmith's cunfte office in 1638.
At the request of Bauska goldsmiths Heinrich Tinnes, Bertram Hilbrant, Hans Garding and Berent Boanne, the Duke of Courland issued Bauska Goldsmiths' Statute in 1638.
Bauska goldsmiths made a variety of gold and silver items for the needs of local landlords, churches, merchants and rich farmers.
In 1712, Bauska goldsmith Christoffer Kölsing asks to be admitted to the Jelgava Goldsmith's Cunfte, as all Bauska goldsmiths have died in the Great Northern War plague outbreak.
After the war and the end of the plague, the pre-war hustle and bustle in Bauska Castle and the city returned as it had survived mostly unharmed.
It is possible that the Bauska Castle was visited by the King of Poland Augustus II the Strong and the Russian Tsar Peter I, who in the winter of 1701 held talks on the further war tactics in Biržai Castle.
After the victory over the Saxons at the crossing of the Düna battle in 1701, Bauska was captured by the army of King Charles XII of Sweden and was temporarily taken away by Russian troops in 1705.
On July 3, 1709, church services were banned in Bauska in order to prevent plague from spreading, and the dead were buried outside the burial grounds of churches.
On July 17, Commander of the Russian Empire troops in Bauska, Lieutenant Colonel Kunicki of the Polish Uhlans Regiment, learned of the approaching Prussian intelligence unit, confronted it and launched a battle in four versts or about from Bauska, but was defeated and forced to retreat in the direction of Iecava ().
On July 18, Bauska was captured by the 27th Prussian Division of General Julius von Grawert of the Napoleon Army Marshal Jacques MacDonald's Prussian Corps on their way toward Riga.
On May 1, 1815, the peak of the tall Lutheran church tower was struck by lightning repeatedly, also destroying the masonry.
Beginning in 1820, Jews who had previously lived in a separate settlement behind the river were allowed to settle in Bauska.
In 1823, there were 120 dwellings in Bauska, of which only six were brick or brick houses, so the city was often devastated by fires.
From November 17, 1831 to January 24, 1832, the , which participated in the repression of November Uprising Congress Poland, arrives for winter recreation.
In 1848, farmers were allowed to settle freely throughout the territory of Courland Governorate (including towns), many rural craftsmen came to Bauska and became one of the Zemgale grain, flax, linseed, and livestock trade centers.
By order of the Governor of Kurzeme in 1858, there were 25 pubs and inns in Bauska where beverages could be sold to farmers who came to the market.
The city is not only a center for agricultural commodities, but it is also where the production of goods for farmers begins to develop.
In the mid-19th century, there were 126 craftsmen in the city, including 23 shoemakers, 35 shops, 37 pubs, a wool mill, the Up and Down watermills, a sawmill, an agricultural tool factory, and a brick kiln.
In the middle of the 19th century Bauska was a multinational city, but many of the privileges inherited from earlier times have been maintained by the Baltic Germans, in whose hands still was the entire city administration.
In 1889, Bauska, along with other Latvian cities, dismantled the German magistrate which was governing city from 1511 and introduced the city-wide system of city administration.
The most active in trade were the Jews, who at that time accounted for more than half of the city's population, and in 1863 owned 70 of the city's 75 shops.
Since the end of the 19th century Latvians have been also mentioned among the wealthiest households, craftsmen and entrepreneurs of the city.
19th century in the late 20th century At the beginning of the year the construction of brick buildings expanded in the city.
The central part of the city was still on the left bank of Mēmele, with only the Big Street (now Riga Street) and the Market Square (now Town Hall Square), where the market was held twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays).

The median price ratio (MPR) is the ratio given by dividing the median local unit price of a medication by the median international reference unit price, usually from the International Medical Products Price Guide.
This measure was created in 2003 by the Health Action International (HAI) and World Health Organization (WHO) as a standard measure to facilitate national and international comparisons of drug prices.
For example, a 10% MPR for a $10 reference price yields an absolute price variation of $1, whereas for a $200 reference price the variation would be $20.
To solve this issue, the WHO/HAI recommend to check the international reference price when very high or low MPR variations are observed.
The MPR has been used in several studies investigating the availability and variation of medication prices, and the effects of various medication pricing policies.

The Leen Valley lines of the Great Northern Railway were English railway branch lines built to get access to collieries in the Nottinghamshire coalfield.
The Midland Railway had long been dominant in the area, but there was resentment against its monopolistic policies from coalowners, who encouraged the Great Northern Railway to build a line.
Coal owners in areas further north made representations to the Great Northern Railway, which agreed to extend the line, and the Leen Valley Extension Line opened in 1892.
The Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway had built a line on a nearby alignment including a long tunnel, and to avoid the cost of duplicating the tunnel, the GNR arranged to use the MS&LR tunnel to connect its Extension line to the original section.
In the 1960s and 1970s coal production in the area declined steeply, and the duplication of railway routes in the area meant that rationalistaion was inevitable: it was the former GNR lines that bore the brunt of this.
In the 1980s plans were formulated to reopen a passenger train service from Nottingham to Mansfield; this was to be mainly on the former Midland Railway route, but a short section of the former GNR line was used around Kirkby-in-Ashfield.
The Great Northern Railway had established a terminal in Nottingham in 1857, and used the Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston and Eastern Junction Railway to reach it from its main line at Grantham.
There was considerable colliery activity in the coalfields to the north and west of Nottingham, and for the time being the Midland Railway was dominant in serving the pits.
The Great Northern Railway sought to share in the business of hauling the coal to southern and eastern markets; at the same time the Midland Railway went to considerable lengths to exclude the GNR from the access it sought, and in 1871 prevented the GNR from using Midland Railway lines in the area at all.
This exacerbated dissatisfaction on the part of coalowners, who saw that the Midland was exploiting its monopoly of carriage of coal to their disadvantage, and they encouraged the provision of competing railway facilities.
The GNR obtained Parliamentary authority for what became its Derbyshire and Staffordshire extension, a new independent railway line from the GNR line at Colwick, on the eastern margin of Nottingham.
The new line was to circle round the north of Nottingham and head west, connecting in Kimberley and Ilkeston on the way to Derby and Burton on Trent, with a fork to link in Pinxton.
There was also a concentration of collieries in the valley of the River Leen, which runs south from near Newstead to join the River Trent west of Nottingham.
During the final stages of the construction of the Derbyshire lines, the GNR was receiving representations from the Leen Valley collieries.
The Midland Railway saw the danger and suggested in June that if the Bill was withdrawn the charges for the use of its line would be substantially reduced.
Construction was put in hand immediately: on 5 November 1880 a contractor named Lovatt undertook the work for £89,077 and to complete by 1 January 1882.
The new line was to make a junction with the Derbyshire extension line near Old Basford and run north, paralleling the Midland Railway's line from Nottingham to Mansfield.
In doing so the new line crossed the Midland line twice, and connected with collieries at Bestwood, Hucknall, Linby, Newstead, and Annesley.
The GNR called the branch line the Leen Valley Line, and the junction with the Derbyshire & Staffordshire Extension line was named Leen Valley Junction.
From Leen Valley junction the line ran for 6 miles 53 chains to Newstead, and was double track throughout when completed.
There were colliery branches to Bestwood Park, four to Hucknall Colliery, two to Linby Colliery, two to Bestwood Colliery, and two at the end of the line to Annesley Colliery.
Leen Valley junction signalbox was commissioned on 9 May 1881 and in July coal traffic from Bestwood Colliery began over a single line.
On 18 October the line was opened to Linby Colliery and on 27 October 1881, the line opened throughout for coal.
The result was an increase for the half-year to 31 December 1881, of over a quarter of a million tons of coal carried over the GNR system.
The MS&LR Chairman, Sir Edward Watkin, had for some time been known to want to extend the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway to London.
In time for the 1889 session of Parliament, the MS&LR presented a Bill for a line from Beighton, a little east of Sheffield, southwards to Annesley, to make an end-on junction there with the GNR Leen Valley line.
On the face of it the scheme looked like a harmless approach to get access to the collieries, but the GNR Board suspected that this was a move towards a London extension.
Watkin also controlled the Metropolitan Railway, which reached as far north as Verney in Buckinghamshire, and in the same Session, had deposited a Bill for a line from Quainton Road to Moreton Pinkney; the gap between Annesley and Morton Pinkney was only 60 miles.
Amid much railway politics, it became evident that Parliament was going to grant the MS&LR wishes, and the GNR acquiesced, gaining running powers to Sheffield over the MS&LR as a sweetener.
In fact the MS&LR promise was soon proven to be false, and it had a London extension bill in the 1891 session, but with London and North Western Railway and Midland Railway as well as GNR opposition it failed.
The MS&LR extension southwards from Beighton reached an end-on junction with the GNR Leen Valley line at Annesley, north of Newstead, on 24 October 1892.
In accordance with the agreement, MS&LR goods and coal trains ran to Nottingham, followed by passenger trains on 2 January 1893: there were four each way via the Nottingham Suburban Railway to London Road.
From 28 January, there were a few GNR passenger trains over the MS&LR as far as Staveley, but only for a few months.
The GNR obtained access to several collieries, but unfortunately for the GNR, an MS&LR-LNWR agreement meant that the LNWR did too.
Meanwhile, the fresh MS&LR extension bill passed most stages by June 1892 but, held up when Parliament was dissolved, did not become an Act until 28 March 1893.
The GNR now decided that it should extend further north from Annesley, and this became the project for the Leen Valley Extension line.
As originally planned, the line would have begun at the end of the original line, at Annesley, which would have meant construction of a tunnel under Robin Hood Hills.
But as the MS&LR opened its extension to that spot through a tunnel built for their line, it was arranged that GNR trains would use the MS&LR line through their Annesley tunnel, and then for 450 yards to South Kirkby junction, where the new line would diverge.
W Binns had the contract, and began work in June 1895, but got into difficulties excavating a deep cutting through rock.
Work continued with financial support from the GNR, through a further deep cutting, and a bridge under the Midland Railway, where there was a difficult operation on a Saturday night to install the bridge before the first Midland train on Sunday morning; the line continued by the Erewash headwaters to Sutton-in-Ashfield, a distance of four miles.
Some land came from Lord Carnarvon, then the line went through another limestone cutting into the Meden Valley, through Skegby to Pleasley colliery.
Meanwhile, the board decided to operate a passenger service when the line opened, and in April gave a contract to Pattinsons for stations at Sutton, Skegby and Teversal for £14,742.
A passenger service of seven trains each way between Nottingham London Road and Skegby, and two each way as far as Sutton, all via the Nottingham Suburban Line, were run on weekdays and two Suttons each way via Gedling on Sundays; these services began on 4 April.
Sutton station, with street-level booking office and covered stairways down to the platforms, was on an elaborate scale, the most centrally situated in the town.
The opening was celebrated by special trains from King's Cross, and Nottingham, bringing guests to a lunch at Skegby, at which Mr Capel presided.
A north to west curve was laid to the GCR (former MS&LR) at Kirkby in 1897, but was rarely used and was removed after a few years.
From Pleasley, the line continued above Meden valley, leaving it at Pleasley vale where a rock cutting was required to Shirebrook station, and then a high embankment above the town to Langwith Junction.
The line reached Shirebrook Colliery (on the branch south of the station), on 26 November 1900, and on 29 May 1901, Langwith Junction for coal and general goods.
The Shirebrook passenger trains were extended to Langwith, and over the LD&ECR to Chesterfield from 1 February 1903, but soon withdrawn, and not restored until LNER days.
Contrary to the promise that no southward extension from Annesley was intended by the MS&LR, the company proceeded with the project.
The London Extension line came south from Annesley (no longer an end-on junction) through Bulwell, over the GNR Derbyshire Extension line to New Basford, through Sherwood Rise tunnel to Nottingham.
The MS&LR (soon to be GCR) line ran broadly north to south and the GNR Derbyshire line ran east to west.
The Leen Valley line running southward made a connection from Moorthorpe Junction (or Bestwood Junction) into the GCR southbound at Bulwell North Junction, grade separated on the GCR line.
Also joint and also opened in 1898 was a west to north spur, the Basford Branch, from Basford West Junction to Bulwell South Junction.
Another connection was authorised by an MS&LR Act on 6 July 1895, from Moorbridge junction between Bestwood and Bulwell Forest on the Leen Valley line, to Bulwell Common on the MS&LR London extension.
As late as 1909 some coalowners in the Mansfield area approached the GNR, requesting a GNR branch connection, but they were refused.
The line was to be from Kirkby south, on the GCR extension, just beyond where the GN Leen Valley extension diverged, cross the GNR curve to Kirkby north, and the Leen Valley extension near Sutton-in-Ashfield, and go via Mansfield, serving several collieries, to the LD&ECR at Clipstone.
The GNR suggested use of the Leen Valley extension instead of the southern part, but the promoters said they didn't want another concern between them and the GCR.
The Bill was passed in July, giving the GCR a useful line the GNR might have had; moreover the GNR did not get running powers.
The colliery produced its first million tons of coal in 1970 and over 1.7 million tons by 1986-87, a North Derbyshire Area record.
The west to north spur from Kirkby North Junction on the Great Central saw little use, despite its high construction costs.
Passenger traffic had always been a financial liability and the LNER withdrew services between Shirebrook South and Nottingham Victoria on 14 September 1931.
Meanwhile, passenger trains serving Sutton in Ashfield Central (on the former Mansfield Railway) had ceased so British Railways reintroduced services from the former Great Northern station at Sutton in Ashfield Town to Nottingham Victoria, on 20 February 1956.
The Leen Valley Extension, in conjunction with the former LD&EC branch from Beighton to Langwith Junction, remained an important diversionary route when the main line was closed for engineering work.
As colliery activity declined steeply—Bestwood during 1967 and Kirkby Summit in July 1968—the Leen Valley Extension and former Great Central line between Langwith Junction and Kirkby South Junction closed completely on 27 May 1968.
The Midland formation then suffered the same fate, following closure of the section of track from Kirkby in Ashfield to Annesley on 11 October 1970.
In order to eliminate the level crossing at Kirkby in Ashfield and release land for building, a diversion was brought into operation on 4 April 1972.
This involved constructing a short spur between the Pye Bridge line and the former Great Northern route south of Kirkby, reinstating a short length of the Leen Valley Extension through the town, and laying another spur from the site of Summit Colliery to the Mansfield line at Kirkby Hardwick.
South of Langwith, an east-north spur between the LD&ECR and Midland Railway routes opened on 11 November 1974, enabling the remaining part of the Beighton branch from Shirebrook North to Whaley Thorns to be closed.
Goods facilities at Mansfield were withdrawn on 2 June 1975, and the remaining railways in the district were now entirely dependent on coal traffic for their survival.
These were followed by Silverhill April 1985, Whitwell June 1986, Hucknall October 1986, Newstead March 1987, Mansfield Crown Farm March 1988, Linby July 1988.
There was a long-standing grievance that Mansfield was one of the few large towns which was not connected directly to the national rail network.
Discussions began in 1982, and in 1988 agreement was reached that a line could be reopened for passengers provided local authorities along the route were willing to provide subsidies.
The majority of the route follows the former Midland Railway Leen Valley line as far as Sutton-in-Ashfield, but north from there it uses the Great Northern route through Kirkby before reverting to the Midland formation.
As part of reinstating the route it was necessary to excavate the Midland tunnel at Annesley, which had been filled in after closure.
The first section from Nottingham to Newstead opened in 1993, extending to Mansfield Woodhouse in 1995, Kirkby in 1996 and finally through to Worksop on the former MS&LR line from Lincoln to Sheffield in 1998.
Between Kirkby tunnel and Sutton Parkway station, the train uses trackbeds or track alignments from the Midland Railway dating from 1848; Railtrack dating from 1995; the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway dating from 1892, though now raised by 30 feet; the Great Northern Railway dating from 1896, though now partly above it; British Rail from 1972; and the Mansfield and Pinxton Railway (originally horse­drawn) dating from 1819.

Katherine Douglas Smith (1878 – after 1947) was a militant British suffragette and from 1908 a paid organiser of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU).
Douglas Smith was the daughter of a professor of surgery at King’s College, London and a militant member of the WSPU.
In 1908 she campaigned with Annie Kenney and Mary Blathwayt around the seaside towns of the west of England and Wales and on one occasion in Pembrokeshire the three women had to share a small and cramped room.
The rally was organised for Women's Sunday when twenty platforms were erected in the Park from which leading suffragettes delivered speeches.
Also in 1908 Douglas Smith took part in a protest at the House of Commons in London which was led by Marion Wallace Dunlop, while on 24 January 1909 Douglas Smith and suffragettes Irene Dallas and Mary Jane Clarke, the younger sister of Emmeline Pankhurst, took a taxi to 10 Downing Street.
There had been a demonstration in Downing Street earlier that day so by the time Douglas Smith and the other women arrived the street had been sealed off with a cordon of police officers.
Douglas Smith and Clarke persuaded the officers to allow their taxi to pass through the cordon which then drove up to the door of No 10 where they were arrested.
After appearing at Bow Street Magistrates' Court on 2 February 1909 Douglas Smith was sent to Holloway Prison for a month.
Emmeline Pankhurst wrote to the journalist C. P. Scott expressing concern at the treatment her sister and Douglas Scott were receiving at the hands of the authorities.
She was released from prison on 27 February 1909 following which she and other released suffragette prisoners attended a celebratory breakfast organised by the WSPU.
In another imaginative protest in October 1908 organised with Maud Joachim Douglas Smith and Joachim held up traffic in the West End by the two riding black bay horses up the Strand, at the same time advertising a suffragette meeting at the Royal Albert Hall.
In August 1909 Prime Minister H. H. Asquith was persuaded by Sir Herbert Leon to attend an event organised by him at his home at Bletchley Park in which Asquith would address an audience of 2,000.
This opportunity to confront the Prime Minister proved irresistible to the suffragettes who organised a campaign over several days to coincide with his visit.
On the night before Asquith's visit the suffragettes Charlotte Marsh, Laura Ainsworth, Evelyn Wurrie (real name Evelyn Wharrie) and Nellie Hall gained access to the grounds, where they hid in a plantation of trees near to the marquee where Asquith was due to speak.
At the same time Douglas Smith, who was outside, climbed over a wall and made for the marquee before being chased by 12 men and caught.
On 18 February 1910 Katherine Douglas Smith planted a pine tree – a pseudotsuga douglasii glauca – a Douglas fir - at Eagle House where members of the suffragette movement were invited to stay and plant trees to celebrate a prison sentence.
This wall has attracted scholarly attention because it contains several, well-preserved inscriptions, that were added after the initial construction of the wall.
The documents preserved on the wall originate from the second and third century BCE and range from senatorial decrees to imperial letters.
Despite the name it is commonly known as and the fact that it contains a varied collection of documents that were already historic at the time they were added to it, this wall is not an archive.
An archive is meant for the deposition, retrieval and consultation of documents, either for a general public or for private individuals.
The different documents were selected with care and presented to the public because they were meant to reflect a certain message.
It is unclear who was in charge of this selection process, but it is most likely that the documents were selected and inscribed by members of Aphrodisias' elite, as they were the people who concerned themselves with the promotion of the city's identity.
These documents were included because they represented Aphrodisias’ grandeur and history: the past initiatives by private citizens, the favour of the gods that was bestowed upon the city, Aphrodisias’ bravery and loyalty to Rome, and the appreciation and recognition of Rome for Aphrodisias in return.
They can help us understand how ancient societies, such as the people of Aphrodisias, constructed and transmitted their public memory, how their commemoration practices worked and how they carefully constructed their own civic identity.

The show follows a team of ambassadors (and their ship, The Bargarean Jade) as they attempt to establish diplomatic relations with planets in the remote and chaotic Zyxx Quadrant of the Tremillion Sector.
The podcast is improvised by its comedian cast and recorded by Shane O'Connell, who also performs subsequent sound design and mixing.
The guest pitches two or three episode ideas to the main cast, and one is picked that fits best with the story arc of the show.
Filmmaker Magazine interviewed the cast and highlighted the combination of improv comedy and longform narration as a major source of creativity and freedom for the podcast.
As the story progresses, the narration changes to reflect the happenings of the Zyxx Quadrant, the Tremillion Sector, and the entire galaxy.
The Alliance’s newest recruit, a young farm boy named Pleck Decksetter steps aboard the starship Bargarean Jade to embark on his first diplomatic mission: a MISSION.
This podcasts is unusual, however, as these are done by the voice actors or guests as minor characters from the show, delivered in-character.
The ad breaks are canon, consistent with the show's characterizations and events, occasionally delivering minor plot points or foreshadowing for the main storyline.
The Alliance's newest recruit is Ambassador Pleck Decksetter, a naive, gung-ho farm boy whose crew includes trusty, know-it-all droid C-53, and hulking, omnisexual security officer DAR.
They travel aboard the outdated, sentient starship The Bargerian Jade - aka Bargie - who has as many ex-husbands as stories about her glory days.
With a little more experience and understanding of the Zyxx Quadrant, the crew make their way through the galaxy with help from Beano and The Space.
Thanks to Beano's noble sacrifice, the Crew has survived the Battle of the Planet Crushers only to find themselves stranded on the opulent planet Holowood.
Zima Warrior Pleck Decksetter, with the help of his newly found acolyte AJ, brings everyone back together, and they set out to rally forces across the galaxy to face down Emperor Nermut Bundaloy, ensconced in the Zyxx Quadrant.
An episode of the podcast is named The Worry with Wiffles and has a similar plot in a direct homage to one of the most famous episodes of Star Trek, The Trouble with Tribbles.
As of November 2019, the podcast website Podbay shows Mission to Zyxx has an average audience review of 4.8 out of 5 based on 2325 reviews.

At the ARL Board of Control meeting prior to the commencement of the season the chairman Mr. G. Grey Campbell said the policy of granting gate percentages to senior clubs should be retained.
He said that it was up to the clubs to produce a high standard of play and the percentage to senior clubs would be an incentive.
Clubs had benefited considerably from the percentage granted, and most senior clubs were now in a position to assist their players next season”.
The New Zealand Herald printed an article ‘reviewing’ the season where they wrote of the visiting St George team and the standard of play in Auckland.
At the annual general meeting of the Auckland Rugby League Junior Management Committee on March 21 the annual report (in reference to the 1932 season) was submitted.
The reason for the decline in numbers was put down to the fact that large numbers of people had left Auckland in search of work during the trying economic times.
The report then went on to congratulate teams who had won various trophies in the Junior grades in the 1932 season.
This had been requested by clubs as it would help them ensure they had players available for their top side at all times.
In spite of this there were no changes ultimately made at all to the scheduling with all senior matches played at Carlaw Park apart from rare exceptions.
One reserve grade match was played at Carlaw Park most weekends with the other matches usually played at the nearby Auckland Domain.
The Auckland Rugby League decided at a meeting following the first round of the Roope Rooster competition that a new competition for senior teams spread over 5 weeks would take place.
With the senior competition having reverted back to 6 teams 2 seasons earlier the round robin was over relatively quickly leaving more time later in the season than had previously existed.
In the event of a tie the team that had the best for and against record would be declared the winners and a special trophy would be awarded.
It was also decided that force downs in teams own in goal and kicks that went dead in goal would be worth points in order to speed up the games.
Newton ultimately won this round and it was a key factor in them being given the opportunity to play against the touring St George team.
They then played a midweek match with Richmond Rovers who they lost to 8-13 and then Marist Old Boys who they also lost to 11-25.

Whilst in Auckland several members of the team along with the manager Mr. J. H. Mostyn visited Sacred Heart College where Mr. Mostyn gave an address to the students on football.
Following their last match the team departed for Sydney on the Wanganella Ship at 5pm which meant that the match with Richmond kicked off at the earlier time of 2:45pm.

It was also decided to issue tickets for the admission of unemployed to Carlaw Park, with the official co-operation of the Auckland Provincial Unemployed Association.

At a meeting of the Auckland Rugby League Referees Association on May 29 they decided to recommend to the Board of Control that referees put the ball into the scrum at all grade matches, which was something that had been tried out unsuccessfully 6 years earlier.
Matches on June 2 featured this new rule change and it was commentated from referees that it had so far improved play around scrums and eliminated a lot of whistle.
It was however decided at a meeting of the New Zealand Council several weeks later that the practice was to be discontinued after acting on the recommendation of the New Zealand Referees’ Association.
It was also noted that a player when falling on the ball in the in goal area needed to ground the ball with their hands and it was play on until this was done so.
The League Council advised that the forward pass rule was being ruled incorrectly with players being penalised for being offside when receiving a forward pass.
As the players had inadvertently got in front of the teammate passing the ball it was clarified that it should be considered a forward pass only and therefore a scrum rather than a penalty.
The Auckland Rugby League decided to forward a motion of protest from Ted Phelan to the New Zealand Government regarding the ban on the 1ZR station.

The game was first given a location test in 1996 and despite being previewed across few video game magazines, in addition of being showcased to attendees at trade shows, it was ultimately shelved by SNK for unknown reasons.
Failing in catching the ball from rebound after touching the floor results in a stack of random colored ghosts rapidly descending from the top and once all the ghosts reach the bottom, the game is over as a result unless players insert more credits into the arcade machine to continue playing.
The game offers a single-player campaign mode where one player assume the role of either Bruce or McCoy to hunt and evict mischievious ghosts across multiple locations, as well as a versus mode where players compete for the highest score.
There are also three additional types of ghosts: bomb ghosts capable of detaching others caught within their blast radius, skull ghosts that take two hits to evict as well as electric ghosts, which act as dynamite that erases all the ghosts from the playfield.
Similar to Puyo Puyo's chain mechanism, players are able to attack the rival playfield by performing a chain reaction with a disappearing ghost that cause a group of ghosts to fall off and spawn in the rival area.
The sound was handled by Gamadelic members Hiroaki Yoshida, Masaaki Iwasaki and Shinichi Yamazaki, while character voice work was done by Lynn Harris and Ward Sexton, the latter of which is credited erroneously as Word E. Sexton.
SNK briefly considered re-releasing the title in 2001 but the idea was scrapped and was ultimately shelved for unknown reasons, leading Data East in notifying Japanese audiences about the cancelled launch via email, however several possible factors have been given as to why it was never published.
On January 2002, emulated screenshots from a prototype cartridge surfaced online, indicating that the ROM image of the game was preserved but not made widely available to public.
Although its production number during development remained unknown and was generally believed to be assigned with the number 128, it was later revealed to be officially assigned with the number 228 instead on April of the same year.

Edward Hewlett Hogben (6 March 1875 – 1 March 1936) was an Australian architect who had a prominent role in modernising the Carrington Hotel, Katoomba in 1911 when he designed the new facade for Sir James Joynton Smith.
In partnership with the estate agent Alfred Craig, and then with the Goyder brothers, he played an influential role in the architectural development of both Katoomba and Leura between the wars.
In 1889 Hogben commenced at Newington College under the presidency of the Rev Dr William Kelynack and the Headmastership of William Henry Williams.
Eugène Van Dievoet is the son of Ernest Jean-Louis Van Dievoet (Brussels, 16 July 1835 - Saint-Gilles, 28 August 1903) and Léonie Joséphine Françoise Most (Antwerp, 14 July 1838 - Brussels 1943), daughter of Ferdinand Gustave Adolphe Most and Ghislaine Philippine Pauline Delsart; and the grandson of Eugène Van Dievoet and Hortense Poelaert, sister of the famous architect Joseph Poelaert.
He married Léonie Caroline Catherine Quarez, born in Liège on May 22, 1865 and died in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, rue Vergote 30, on December 6, 1944, daughter of Philippe Guillaume Quarez and Catherine Lambertine Marie Ogis.
Eugène Van Dievoet began his career as a military architect and trained at the Royal Military Academy (48th class, engineering, 1880-1885).
After his military activities, he became a civil architect (living in rue Vergote 30) and built many houses and apartment buildings in Art Deco style or Beaux-Arts in Brussels.
The Hampshire Merit Tables are a set of leagues for rugby union teams based in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight for second, third and fourth teams of clubs who up until the 2018-19 season could not enter the first team leagues such as Hampshire 1 and Hampshire 2.
For the 2014-15 season the structure of the leagues changed to a regional basis consisting of Solent League, Hampshire South East, Hampshire South West and Hampshire North.
In 1939 he married Eleanor Jeremy Ashton, daughter of prominent leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Marvin O. Ashton and sister of future apostle Marvin J. Ashton.
Lee graduated from National Taiwan University of Arts with a film studies degree, and had a few part-time jobs in publishing and TV broadcasting companies.
Living off the royalties from the lyrics she has written and the sales of her self-funded poetry publications, lyricist Lee and poet Hsia Yu travel around for inspirations.
She had lived in the suburbs of Southern France, returned to Taiwan, and then have been living in both Taipei and Paris.
The unique genre of lyrics also created new possibilities for the singer to elevate her performance and in turn contribute to the well-roundedness of the song.
She wrote and explained the conflicts between two sides of the spectrum, like elite and commoners, cultural and commercial, and literates and celebrities, etc.
In the album, she compiled 13 of the lyrics that were not shortlisted by record companies, and invited producer Rou Zheng Chen to write and produce the songs.
Other than this album, Lee's has also made a few occasional appearances in other artists’ works; mostly through narration of poems in the name of Hsia Yu.
She sets the key of the first edition to be C Major, and when the second edition was published in 2008, the pink color was brightened by 15%, and the key became D Major.
Currently, Hsia Yu remains to publish individually for her determination of executing every detail and presenting the artwork in the exact way she wants it.
Adopting a different work process from Chinese pop music productions, Lee usually writes the lyrics first and then hand it to someone to write the melody.
Lee would also meet with the singer to get more understanding of the person, so she could feel the personality of the singer and be inspired to write lyrics that are suitable for him/her.
Lee is relatively more low-profile as she doesn't want to become a public figure nor does she want to be defined or tagged.
Lee wants to feel free, and also wants her readers to read her works freely with absolutely no interference from her personal affairs or behaviors.
Writing a song, on the other hand, makes her feel a stronger connection with the world, so she also sees writing lyrics as the more mainstream part of herself.
Because of writing poems, Lee can write lyrics that create impressions; and because of writing lyrics, she can write poems with rhythms.
The Burnside Heights Football Club, nicknamed the Bears, is an Australian rules football club located in Burnside Heights, Victoria, north west of Melbourne.
The club originated in 2012 with the intention to field junior sides, and in 2014 established a senior side in the Essendon District Football League (EDFL).
Today, the club fields teams in Division 2 and Division 2 Reserves, in the Premier Division of the EDFL Women's competition, and a number of junior squads.
The first such camera was the Leica M Edition 60 on 16 September 2014, which was released to mark the sixtieth anniversary of its Leica M rangefinder system.
Functionally the Leica M-D is almost exactly the same as the Leica M (Typ 262), but without the rear screen and menu buttons.
Leica says the camera is designed for the ‘essentials of photography’, or ‘Das Wescentliche’, and that it should help photographers concentrate on the important elements of image making rather than distracting camera functions.
The camera does not include the Leica 'red dot' logo, as the company wanted the camera to be as discrete as possible for street photography.
The Battle of San Salvador (1642) was an expedition launched by the Dutch against the Spanish and their aboriginal allies in 1642.
Having lost the previous Battle of San Salvador the previous year, the Dutch amassed a bigger strike force to beat the Spanish out of Formosa.
The Spanish meanwhile, having lost the trust of the aboriginals during the previous battle, were low in morale and dispatched a letter to Manila to request reinforcements, but Governor-General Corcuera sent only two small vessels carrying twelve sailors and twenty soldiers, further lowering the morale of Spanish stationed in the fort.
Knowing that the Dutch would try to land a force on San Salvador in an effort to capture the hilltop positions, the Spanish attempted an attack on the Dutch landing party.
The Spanish soldiers who defended it were few and lacked supplies, but they fought hard because they knew that if the Dutch captured the redoubt the Spanish were lost.
Having captured the redoubt, the Dutch aimed their cannon against the main fortress below and then sent a messenger with a white flag and a letter in Latin demanding surrender.
After the surrender, the Dutch confiscated the Spanish arms and flags and ferried the Spanish troops first to Tayouan, then to Batavia, and then finally back to Manila.
The Spanish governor who had surrendered to the Dutch was afraid he would be held responsible and refused to go back to Manila.
In 1644 Diego Fajardo Chacón, his successor as governor-general, had him locked up to stand trial for the loss of Formosa.
The prosecution charged that he had ordered the destruction of Fort San Domingo and the redoubt that protected San Salvador, that he had withdrawn three of the four companies of soldiers that defended the colony, and, finally, that he had installed as its last governor an inferior soldier who could neither read nor write.
This species of flowering plant is indigenous to the north-west of South America, particularly from the drainage basins of the Orinoco and Amazon rivers located in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil.
Originally described by Hermann Karsten in 1858, the cacay tree distinguishes itself by its dense and leafy top, as well by its production of fruits that each contain three edible nuts.
Thomas Wilson (1726-22 September 1799) was an Irish academic and clergyman most of whose career was spent at Trinity College Dublin (TCD), where he served as the fifth Erasmus Smith's Professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy (1769-1786).
Selected as his successor was Herbert Snow, a Springfield College graduate who had been the head coach at Wellesley High School in Massachusetts.
The team began practices in early October, with only one player from their 1942 squad—Claude Henry, a reserve back who had returned to the university after serving in the Marine Corps.
Quarterback Bill Pizzano was named to the All-New England Small College Team; he was later inducted to the university's athletic hall of fame, in 2004.

The Battle of Vega Real, also called the Battle of the Holy Hill or the Battle of Jáquimo, took place on 27 March 1495 on the island of Hispaniola between an indigenous alliance and Spanish forces, commanded by Christopher Columbus, Bartholomew Columbus and Alonso de Ojeda, with the help of indigenous people from Guacanagaríx.
It is situated northeast of Pemberton, immediately west of the Place Glacier, and north of Mount Oleg, its nearest higher peak.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.
Jamaica first joined The World Bank Group (WBG) on the 21st of February, 1963, when the island nation became a member of The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), which lends to middle and low income nations..
Jamaican Minister of Finance, Donald Sangster, led the Jamaican delegations to World Bank and International monetary Fund meetings between 1963 and 1966, while also serving as Governor of the World Bank and IMF.
By the end of 1988, Jamaica would join every agency within The World Bank Group except for the International development Association (IDA), the agency that provides interest free loans and grants to underdeveloped nations.
As of December of 2019, The World Bank has completed 91 project in Jamaica, with 10 additional projects currently active, project still pending approval.
Jamaica and The World Bank have worked together to get out of the trend of low growth and high debt, a dangerous combination.
Since 2019, Jamaica and the World Bank have embarked on an aggressive reform project, which has included The World Bank providing upwards of $500 million US dollars towards development effort in Jamaica.
Between 1950 and 1960 Jamaica experienced high rates of economic growth, due in large part to the growth of the Bauxite mining sector, which went from nonexistent to accounting for over 8% of GDP during the 10 year period.
Jamaica declared independence August 6th, 1962, withdrawing from The Federation of the West Indies, and established a parliamentary democracy centered in the capital of Kingston.
The process of structural adjustment reforms (SAPs) began in the mid 1980's, and included financial liberalization, freeing of the foreign exchange market, general marketization.
Several economist have voiced concern over this, arguing that an increase in the size of the informal economy can lead to a decline in economic growth.
Today Jamaica has a population of 2.8 million individuals (2018), a GNI per capita of $4,990 (2018), and a lower inequality rate than most nations in Latin America.
The Jamaican economy has suffered from poor overall growth in the past several decades, averaging less than 1% growth annually over the past 30 years.
Some of the causes of slow growth in Jamaica are a disproportionately large public sector, high crime levels, endemic corruption, strict regulation, poor judicial effectiveness, a high debt-to-GDP ratio, and high levels of unemployment.
However, after implementing economic reforms as part of program supported by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), The World Bank Group and the Inter-American Development bank (IADB), economic stability was established, and Jamaica has achieved 16 consecutive quarters of growth.
Broadly supported, these reforms have demonstrated over the course of two administrations fiscal discipline, and support for both monetary and financial reforms.
In 1965 The World Bank provided Jamaica with loans that supported the construction that expanded a road from Kingston to Spanish Town.
In 1966 loans were provided that allowed for the construction of secondary schools, teacher training programs, the Jamaica School of Agriculture, and the expansion of the University of Technology.
In 1967 Jamaica was able to expand and improve the Jamaica Telephone Company's network services thanks to loans provided by the World Bank.
In 1971 the two worked together to improve education by increasing the total number of secondary school and vocational training centers.
1974 saw improvements to both of Jamaica's international airports, in part, because of support provided to Jamaica by the World Bank.
In 2009, The Jamaican National Develop Agency published Vision 2030 Jamaica, an ambitious new framework that seeks to serve as a near to long-term guide to Jamaica's development.
In order to support this effort, the World Bank has provided over $500 million US dollars towards development effort in Jamaica since 2013.
Other initiates include, but are not limited to, improvements to the private sector, fostering of investment into high potential sectors, climate resilience projects, and increased capacity to gather climate data for risk management purposes.
The IFC work in Jamaica in a variety of different sectors, such as the expansion and privatization of the Sangster International Airport.
In Jamaica, MIGA works in a number of different sectors, but has a special focus on the development of tourism, financial service, and the energy sector.
In 2018, public debt fell below 100% of GPD for the first time in decades, and is expected to continue to decline below 60% by 2025/26.
Furthermore, unemployment is at historic lows (7.8%), international's reserve coverage is high as well as stable, inflation has stabilized is reduced.
According to World Bank data, nearly 390,000 individuals have been impacted by the Program of Advancement through Health and Education (PATH).
Research has indicated that PATH has been successful both in terms of its ability to target the poorest 20% of households, and an overall high level of satisfaction reported by those who engage with the program.
REDI has been so successful that a second REDI project will impact an estimated 20,000 additional individuals, many of are at-risk women and youth.
Another project, The Jamaica Integrated Community Development Project, has improved safety and development conditions in 18 inner city and rural communities by improving infrastructure using sustainable solutions, such as solar lighting, or purchasing of safety equipment, such as fire hydrants or extinguishers.
Other programs include building water supply systems, the implementation of school based violence prevention programs, training of youth in business, justice, and medical procedures, and much more.
Under a World Bank development program, The Jamaica Energy Security and Efficiency Enhancement Project, Jamaica has begun the transition to renewable energy.
Since the program began, Jamaica has increased it generation capacity from 9% to 12% with a final goal of 20% by 2030, inline with Jamaica Vision 2030, lowering its dependence on expensive foreign oil.
The Youth Employment in Digital and Animation Industries Project has created more than 4,000 jobs for young Jamaicans in the digital sector, making way for the growth of a new Jamaican animation industry.
When the project is completed, it is expected to produces about 120,000 megawatts of electricity per year, or just over 3% of the Jamaica's energy demands.
When finished, the project is expected to produce energy that is among the cheapest available on the Jamaican energy grid, all while offsetting the equivalent emissions of approximately 13,000 cars .
The project directed $35 million Dollars, all committed by the IRBD, strengthening the institutional capabilities of the ministry of construction, develop road infrastructure in a cost effective manner, and improving road safety.
Some argue that the Jamaican financial crisis of the 1990's, which caused the failure of numerous organizations and eventually required large scale government intervention, can trace its origins to the Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs) that World Bank organized.
These SAPs included the removal of credit controls, privatization of the financial sector, the adoption of market determined deposit rates, and removal of price ceilings, among other changes.
Highway 2000, completed in 2003, was a large scale development project that has connected the norther and southern end of the Island via a new highway, stretching over 67 km (41.6 miles).
The project also received financing from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), The European Investment Bank (EIB), The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and Proparco (AFD).
After high school, Tomita earned a teaching certificate, and taught in elementary schools until 1920, when she married a farmer named Masakazu Tomita.
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Tomita burned all of her poetry so that the FBI would not assume that she had any loyalty to Japan.
After she was released in 1945, Tomita briefly lived in Minnesota, but returned to Seattle after the war and became a seamstress.
In 1967, Tomita was forced to relocate a second time when it was found that her home was in the buffer zone around the Seattle Tacoma Airport.

The visit of Erich Honecker to West Germany took place between 7-11 September 1987 in his official capacity as General Secretary of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) and Chairman of the State Council of the German Democratic Republic.
Soviet objections to Honecker's travel to the west were related both to Soviet interests in the block confrontation and to the policies of the Schmidt and Kohl governments in the NATO Double-Track Decision.
In autumn 1986, Mikhail Gorbachev sent a message to Honecker giving him consent to visit Bonn, which was a result of his own efforts to establish closer contacts with Western countries as part of the reorientation of Soviet politics through the policies of Glasnost and Perestroika.
To solidify this, Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker was received by Gorbachev in the Moscow Kremlin on 7 July 1987 to discuss the visit.
The announcement of the abolition of capital punishment in the GDR on 17 July 1987 by the State Council was also related to Honecker's planned visit.
From there he was transported in a motorcade to the Federal Chancellery where he arrived at half past nine in the morning.
After an initial exchange of pleasantries between the two leaders, Honecker was invited into the neighboring Hammerschmidt Villa for a meeting with Federal President Weizsäcker for a working lunch.
The afternoon of the first day of visit was mainly devoted to discussions in the Federal Chancellery, where it mainly went to topics such as travel and visitor traffic, border determination in the Elbe section, minimum exchange, town twinning and the shooting order.
In the evening, the federal government gave hosted a dinner for the delegations in the Redoute, where in the table speeches the basic political positions of the heads of state were exchanged.
Chancellor Kohl had insisted in advance that the table speeches of the two heads of government are broadcast live on state television both in the FRG and in the GDR.
After the drive from Schloss Gymnich to Bonn's government district, Honecker conferred once again with Kohl and Schäuble in a small meeting.
It was followed by Honecker meeting with Bundestag President Philipp Jenninger, and former President Karl Carstens as well as the chairmen of the parties represented in the Bundestag, including the Leader of the Social Democratic Party Hans-Jochen Vogel.
In the evening, Honecker gave a counter invitation to dinner at the Hotel Bristol, where he delivered a speech with Kohl.
He flew to Nörvenich Air Base by a helicopter provided by the Federal Border Police and then was driven to Dusseldorf, where he with Minister-President Johannes Rau met at Schloss Benrath.
Honecker and Rau agreed at the meeting, in the future, at least every six months to make contact talks especially on environmental protection techniques.
In the villa he met with leading representatives of the German economy, including Berthold Beitz, head of the Krupp steel conglomerate) and Carl H. Hahn of Volkswagen.
On the fourth day of his visit, Honecker went to Trier, where he was received by Minister President of Rhineland-Palatinate Bernhard Vogel in front of the Electoral Palace.
With Vogel he then discussed opportunities for economic and cultural relations between the GDR and the state, followed by a working lunch followed.
In the afternoon, Honecker visited the Karl Marx House Museum, the birthplace of Karl Marx and laid down 50 roses there.
From Trier, Honecker traveled via a German Air Force Boeing 707 to Saarland, where he was received at the Saarbrücken Airport by Minister President Oskar Lafontaine with military honours from the German Army and then officially welcomed in the State Chancellery.
From there Honecker traveled by motorcade to Neunkirchen, where he visited in the Wiebelskirchen district his younger sister Gertrud Hoppstädter (1917-2010) and the grave of his parents Wilhelm (1881-1969) and Caroline Catharina Honecker (1883-1963).
In his speech there, Honecker gave an emotional speech in which he spoke of a day when Germans would no longer be separated by borders.
After this private part of the visit, Honecker participated in a dinner with Minister President Lafontaine and representatives of the Saarland business and political community at the Dillinger Hütte Casino.
On 11 September 1987, at 11 o'clock in the morning, Honecker left Saarland aboard the same passenger aircraft he used to arrive in the city.
Honecker's last day during his visit to the FRG was spent in Munich, Bavaria, where Minister-President of Bavaria Franz Josef Strauss picked him up at Munich-Riem Airport and conferred with him in the Bavarian State Chancellery.
Strauss then hosted a lunch in honor of Honecker in the Hall of the Antiquarium in the Munich Residenz, at which about 130 representatives from Bavarian politics and the economic sphere attended.
After the farewell he was given in the afternoon, Honecker flew from Munich back to East Berlin on a Soviet Ilyushin Il-62, landing at Berlin Schönefeld Airport a short time later.
As the visit was already controversial as it deemed to confirm West Germany's acceptance of East Germany's existence, the former government went to great lengths to lower its status.
While the political leadership of the GDR expected that Honecker would receive customary diplomatic practices in accordance with the internationally recognized institutions, the West Germans tried to avoid such a protocol which would be considered a recognition of the GDR as an independent state and an endorsement of the communist system.
Joseph Allen Galbraith (29 November 1818-20 October 1890) was an Irish mathematician, academic and prolific textbook author, who spent his entire career at Trinity College Dublin (TCD).
In 1853, he joined the Council of the Dublin Statistical Society, and delivered a paper highlighting the advantages of a decimal currency system.
He also successfully lobbied to have a TCD colleague dismissed for incompetence in his supposed area of expertise (the Italian language).

Timothy M. Pinkston is an African American computer engineer, researcher, educator and administrator whose work is focused in the area of computer architecture.
He holds the George Pfleger Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering and is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Southern California (USC).
Pinkston is the first African American to become a tenured faculty member with primary appointment in engineering and the first African American to hold a decanal administrative faculty position in engineering in USC’s history.
Prior to embarking on a professorial career in academia, Pinkston was a Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories, a Research Intern at IBM T. J. Watson Research Laboratories, and a Hughes Doctoral Fellow and Research Staff at Hughes Research Laboratories (HRL).
In 1993, Pinkston joined the University of Southern California as an Assistant Professor and promoted to the ranks of Associate Professor in 1999 and full Professor in 2003.
In 2009, Pinkston was appointed as the Senior Associate Dean of Engineering of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and, in 2011, became the Vice Dean for Faculty Affairs in the Viterbi School.
In 2017, Pinkston was named holder of the Louise L. Dunn Endowed Professorship in Engineering, and in 2019, he was named holder of the George Pfleger Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
At USC, Pinkston founded the Superior Multiprocessor Architecture (SMART) Interconnects Group which investigates high-performance communication architectures for parallel computer systems—interconnection networks, adaptive and reconﬁgurable routing algorithms, router design and implementation, and energy- and resource-efficient NoCs.
Before that, he served two years as NSF’s CISE CCF Program Director for the Computer Systems Architecture area and co-established the Multicore Chip Design and Architecture (MCDA) program, co-funded by SRC.
Pinkston served as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) from 1999 to 2002, a member of the Executive Committee of the IEEE Technical Committee on Computer Architecture (TCCA) from 2010-2015, and a founding member of the SIGARCH/SIGMICRO Committee to Aid Reporting on Discrimination and Harassment Policy Violations (CARES) since 2018.
In collaboration with his SMART group members, Pinkston conducted deadlock characterization studies that revealed how infrequently, and under what conditions, deadlocks can form and be resolved in interconnection networks, giving credence to deadlock recovery-based routing as a viable alternative to deadlock avoidance-based routing.
He and his collaborators investigated deadlock-free routing techniques that improve understanding of various approaches to resolve potential deadlocks, including regressive-based, deflective-based, and progressive-based recovery routing algorithms and architectures.
Pinkston, with his collaborators, developed general theory for designing routing algorithms applicable to recovery-based as well as avoidance-based (preventative) approaches and developed a theoretical framework and design methodology for deadlock-free dynamic reconfiguration of routing algorithms—to tolerate network faults, hot-swapping, and other changes in interconnectivity that can cause reconfiguration-induced deadlocks—with minimal packet loss, high throughput, and improved resiliency.
With SMART group members, he was among the first to explore architectural support for effectively applying power-saving techniques, such as power gating, to NoCs for reducing static power consumption in computer systems.
With an endowment gift from Pinkston, The Ohio State University has established the Pinkston Family Achievement Award Fund, which annually awards scholarships to students in the Lambda Psi minority engineering honorary who are performing at the highest academic levels, as well as to a Minority Engineering Program (MEP) student with the most-improved performance.
It also supports Ohio State’s Academic Coaching in Engineering (ACE) Program which offers tutoring and study strategy instruction to MEP students in OSU’s College of Engineering.
In mathematics, economics, and computer science, the stable matching polytope or stable marriage polytope is a convex polytope derived from the solutions to an instance of the stable matching problem.
For each vertex, the Cartesian coordinates are one for pairs that are matched in the corresponding matching, and zero for pairs that are not matched.
The points satisfying all of these constraints can be thought of as the fractional solutions of a linear programming relaxation of the stable matching problem.
It is a theorem of that the polytope described by the facet constraints listed above has only the vertices described above.
This can be seen as an analogue of the theorem of Garrett Birkhoff that an analogous polytope, the Birkhoff polytope describing the set of all fractional matchings between two sets, is integral.
An equivalent way of stating the same theorem is that every fractional matching can be expressed as a convex combination of integral matchings.
prove this by constructing a probability distribution on integral matchings whose expected value can be set equal to any given fractional matching.
The resulting randomly chosen stable matching chooses any particular matched pair with probability equal to the fractional coordinate value of that pair.
Therefore, the probability distribution over stable matchings constructed in this way provides a representation of the given fractional matching as a convex combination of integral stable matchings.
The family of all stable matchings forms a distributive lattice, the lattice of stable matchings, in which the join of two matchings gives all doctors their preference among their assigned hospitals in the two matchings, and the meet gives all hospitals their preference.
In the stable matching polytope, one can define one matching to dominate another if, for every doctor and hospital, the total fractional value assigned to matches for that doctor that are at least as good (for the doctor) as that hospital are at least as large in the first matching as in the second.
This partial order has a unique largest element, the integer stable matching found by a version of the Gale–Shapley algorithm in which the doctors propose matches and the hospitals respond to the proposals.
It also has a unique smallest element, the integer stable matching found by a version of the Gale–Shapley algorithm in which the hospitals make the proposals.
Consistently with this partial order, one can define the meet of two fractional matchings to be a fractional matching that is as low as possible in the partial order while dominating the two matchings.
For each doctor and hospital, it assigns to that potential matched pair a weight that makes the total weight of that pair and all better pairs for the same doctor equal to the larger of the corresponding totals from the two given matchings.
Alternative methods for the same problem include applying the closure problem to a partially ordered set derived from the lattice of stable matchings, or applying linear programming to the order polytope of this partial order.
The property of the stable matching polytope, of defining a continuous distributive lattice is analogous to the defining property of a distributive polytope, a polytope in which coordinatewise maximization and minimization form the meet and join operations of a lattice.
However, the meet and join operations for the stable matching polytope are defined in a different way than coordinatewise maximization and minimization.
Instead, the order polytope of the underlying partial order of the lattice of stable matchings provides a distributive polytope associated with the set of stable matchings, but one for which it is more difficult to read off the fractional value associated with each matched pair.
In fact, the stable matching polytope and the order polytope of the underlying partial order are very closely related to each other: each is an affine transformation of the other.

The Islamic Republic of Iran and the IMF have been in partnership since 1945.The IMF was established in 1944 during the Breton Woods Conference in the United States.
The IMF monitors the economies of its respective constituent nations and also delivers policy memos in order to stabilize the economies.
Other loans given are for the correction of an underlying issue within a nation or for poverty stricken nations to jumpstart their respective economies.
Executive directors are chosen by the country which has the most voting power within its respective groups.Hence, the countries within the group that have the most economic power carry the vote for their entire grouping.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has only gone to the IMF on 2 occasions, both occurring before the 1979 revolution of Iran.
While the Islamic Republic or Iran is a different regime than that of the Shah's regime, the state of Iran joined the IMF on 29 December 1945.
As of 2019, the IR Iran's special drawing rights (SDR) is 1549.18 million and its remaining callable capital brings Iran to its IMF quota of 3567.1 million SDR.
Iran is one of the two largest economies in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region, trailing only behind the economy of Saudi Arabia and trails in population only to Egypt.
Iran holds the executive directorship in its grouping; the other countries in the IR Iran's group are the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Algeria, Ghana, Libya, Morocco, Pakistan, and Tunisia.
The total voting power (% of total IMF funding) of IR Iran's IMF group is 2.54, where Iran carries the most individual votes having 37,136 votes of the 128, 046 votes in its grouping.
Although the Islamic Republic of Iran carries the overall vote for its group in the board of directors meeting, its power doesn't go far in comparison to that of the United States (16.52% of the total fund).
The voting bloc of the United States, Japan, UK, France, and Germany along with the other EU directors makes it nearly impossible for the economic policies of IR Iran to be implemented in any effective manner.
Compared to 2017/18, 2018/19's fiscal year has seen a 9.5% drop in GDP and a 37.5% inflation hike due to the restricting economic environment that was created by President Donald Trump.
The tightened economy has led the IMF to recommend through its many policy memos that the IR Iran raise its price of barrels of oil to $194.60.
The domestic economy is projected to go from 2019/20's fiscal year $60.3 billion in goods and services to $55.5 billion in 2020/21's fiscal year.
OPEC is expected to increase its deficit of 4.5% in 2019/20 to 5.1% in 2020/21 in large part due to the restrictions on Iran's economy.
The IMF implements its policies through the use of a conditionality, but since the IR Iran hasn't used the fund to lend since 1960, the fund can only send policy memos.
In the 2018 Article IV Consultation of IR Iran, the fund dictates the manners in which the country can fix its economy through restructuring the banks and political infrastructure.
Tremor Mountain is a prominent summit located in the Garibaldi Ranges of the Coast Mountains, in Garibaldi Provincial Park of southwestern British Columbia, Canada.
Precipitation runoff from the south side of the peak as well as meltwater from the Platform Glacier drains into Fitzsimmons Creek which is a tributary of the Cheakamus River.
Meltwater from the Tremor Glacier on the northwestern slope drains to Wedge Creek, and meltwater from the Shudder Glacier on the northeast slope drains into Billygoat Creek, a tributary of the Lillooet River.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Tremor Mountain is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.

The below decks accommodation is unconventional, with a double Pullman berth aft on the starboard side and another forward on the port side.
The galley is on the port side at the foot of the companionway steps, and is just aft of the dinette table.
The dinette table does not convert to a berth, but the starboard settee does, for a total sleeping accommodation for five people.
But, be aware that these will be high maintenance boats to keep in Bristol fashion, and age will take its toll on teak decks.

The Project for the Royal Palace in Campo de Ourique was an 18th century ambitious proposal for a monumental royal palace to be built in the Campo de Ourique neighborhood of Lisbon.
Portuguese architect Dionizio de S. Dionizio planned the palace for King Joseph I of Portugal as part of the reconstruction efforts following the destruction of the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake.
The 1755 Lisbon earthquake, with its ensuing tsunami and fire, devastated much of Lisbon, notably destroying the city's Ribeira Palace royal complex centered at the Terreiro do Paço, including the Tagus Royal Opera House and the new cathedral of the Patriarch of Lisbon.
Ribeira Palace had been the primary Lisbon residence of the King of Portugal since the 16th century, when it substituted the Royal Alcáçova at São Jorge Castle.
Following the earthquake, King Joseph I of Portugal and the Portuguese Royal Family established themselves in the western reaches of Lisbon, which survived the earthquake, first at Belém Palace and then at Ajuda Palace.
Reconstruction efforts for the city as a whole were charged to Manuel da Maia, Eugénio dos Santos, and Carlos Mardel by the Marquis of Pombal, King Joseph's prime minister.
Manuel da Maia, as High-Engineer of the Kingdom, was charged with personally leading the efforts to rebuilt a royal palace in central Lisbon.
In February 1756, Manuel da Maia selected Campo de Ourique to be the site of the new royal palace and began studies into the geography of the area and the urban planning of the palace and its integration into the larger urban environment.
Campo de Ourique was purposefully chosen as an area not located near the Tagus river waterfront, which suffered the most destruction from the earthquake and tsunami.
In 1758, Maia charged Carlos Mardel with the objective of contextualizing the chosen palace site into the larger urban fabric of the rebuilding city and Eugénio dos Santos with the execution of plans for the palace and its environs.
The two alternative elevations of possible main façades done by military engineer Captain Dionizio S. Dionizio in 1760 are thought to have been executed under the guidance of Eugénio dos Santos, though the details surrounding the palace's planning are unclear.
Owing to the primary concern of rebuilding the vast amounts of housing and commercial buildings destroyed by the earthquake, the Portuguese Royal Family eventually began to settle at Ajuda Palace, with many families of the Portuguese nobility choosing to establish themselves in the Belém district of Lisbon, which was spared from devastation.
A sentiment arose among nobles who had rebuilt their own estates in the Belém and Ajuda districts that the King should not relocate and rebuilt a palace in Campo de Ourique, which was a considerable distance from Belém and Ajuda.
This sentiment coupled with the complications that arose in the reconstruction of Lisbon, particularly of the scarcity of materials and labour, led to the decision to ultimately abandon the project for a palace in Campo de Ourique.
The façade elevations of the palace were discovered in 2014 by researchers at the Lisbon Academy of Sciences in the academy archives.
Hélder Carita, a researcher with NOVA University Lisbon's FCSH, lead the investigation into the origin and context of the architectural plans.
While it is assumed that Dionizio S. Dionizio executed these plans while under the leadership of Eugénio dos Santos, the prominence of his name on the plans, while also not being one of the prominent engineers and architects leading Lisbon's reconstruction, raise questions about the context in which these elevations were drawn up.

The play centers on three friends who gather one night under a mysterious premise at a repair shop in Manchester, New Hampshire, exploring the themes of regret, fraternity, and masculinity.
A film adaption starring the original cast in various roles was produced in 2019 and is expected to be released in 2020.
Former high school buddies Frank, Swaino and Packie – now past their prime – meet off-hours one night in Franks out-of-the-way repair shop under cloudy circumstances that only Frank seems to have a handle on.

Following this run, the play transferred to the Beverly Hills Playhouse; this production was also extended after a successful run, running into September 2011.
Ultimately, this schedule change conflicted with Bernthal's own filming schedule and in July 2013 it was announced that he had ceded his role.
The play's creative team included directer Jo Bonney, set designer Richard Hoover, costume designer Theresa Squire, lighting designer Lap Chi Chu, and sound designer Jill BC Du Boff.
A limited-run production, the play began previews on October 30, 2013, opened on November 20, 2013, and closed on December 21, 2013.
Pollono reprised his role as Frank while James Ransone took over the role of Packie, James Badge Dale portrayed Swaino, and Keegan Allen portrayed Chad.

In it, she contrasted the generous treatment by the Weimar Republic of veterans returning from World War I, and the lingering resentment of those veterans toward the Republic, with the more meager support by Britain for its veterans and their loyalty to their state.
Rather than attributing these differences to the different outcomes of the war for the two countries, she credits Britain's encouragement of private philanthropy towards veterans for their happiness.
Her themes include the descent of popular tastes from the individuality of the Victorians into mass conformity, and (triggered by the 1895 libel and indecency trials of Oscar Wilde) a perceived linkage between aesthetic taste and homosexuality that led British men to retreat from home decor, leaving it to women.

According to the ADB, the Philippines has heavily relied on the ADB for development assistance, borrowing a total of $19.3 Billion in the last decade.
The Philippines has been commended by the ADB for being a fast-growing economy despite the increasing inflation and plummeting global economy.
Since its founding, the ADB has partnered with the government to provide ways to enhance different facets of the country by being heavily involved in the modernization and development initiatives in the Philippines.
This project was aimed mostly towards rural areas because it was believed to improve many aspects of rural economies such as it provides access to education, and healthcare.
After discovering that the Philippines' transportation condition is of poor quality, the ADB proposed the EDSA Greenways Project, which aims to improve commuter facilities for more efficient, comfortable, and safer pedestrian condition.
The ADB deemed this necessary because all water, air, and land transportation in the Philippines are outdated that most of the day, roads become unpassable, and congested due to the lack of other possible and effective Transportation infrastructures/methods.
The ADB is also reviving and creating railways in order to connect provinces to provide access to and from the cities.
The ADB’s current Local Governance Reform Program was created in order to provide quality service to local communities, and also promote the establishment of new businesses in different areas in the country.
In order to restore order after the 2017 urban war between the Philippine Armed Forces and ISIL, the ADB provided the Philippines emergency assistance in the form of loans and grants.
This monetary assistance covers the reconstruction and recovery of Marawi, its transportation system, health system, and the restoration of the province’s livelihood and education.

Due to the FTZ Model, the DR has an open market economy that is free from tariffs, subsidies, licensing requirements, unions, and other regulations which has made trade with other countries easier, quicker, and cheaper.
The purpose of the World Bank is to provide long term financial and project planning assistance to any country that is struggling with extreme poverty.
They are the IBRD (The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development), IDA (International Development Association), IFC (International Finance Corporation), MIGA (Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency), and the ICSID (International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes).
The World Bank has sent the Dominican Republic $230 million dollars (2016), $1 million (2017), $150 million (2018), and $180 million in 2019.
Government officials have abused the IMF by using them as a way to save the economy to cover up scandals of corruption.
Rural and underdeveloped areas of the Dominican Republic and cheap immigrant labor (usually from neighboring country, Haiti), provide most of the labor force behind the growing economy.
The DR exports 50% of their products to the U.S., and over 500 U.S companies manufacture products in the Dominican Republic.
The downside to the FTZ model is that it strongly depends on the global market and will not sustain itself in the long run.
The country still has high levels of poverty despite a growing economy because it continues to lack investing in human capital.
There continues to be tension with the Dominican people because much of this economic strength has come at the cost of depleting natural resources and heavily impacting the health of many Dominicans, especially those who work/live near mines.
In order to achieve economic prosperity, they must lower their dependency on the global market, prepare for natural disasters (infrastructure, emergency/medical personnel), improve human capital (investing in education), manage natural resources carefully (overmining & polluting water sources), and government officials must be held accountable for decisions they make that affect the Dominican population.

an adult Banded Rainbowfish can reach a stranded length of 15 cm -12 cm with a deep body usually exceeding 1/3 of their body length, like most Rainbowfish banded Rainbowfish vary in colour depending on where they were collected, but all variety's have a distinct dark mid-lateral band and bright red/yellow Dorsal, anal, and caudal fins.
The banded rainbowfish is an active shoaling fish, that typically occurs in the surface and mid-level areas of fresh water environments.
As seasonal spawners the banded rainbowfish breed intermittently throughout the year, males compete with one another for territory and female attention in contests where they compare body coloration and size buy swimming side by side whilst extending their fins too appear larger.
After mating females can produce between 200-500 eggs which they affix to vegetation using adhesive threads after which it leaves, the male will continue to guard their territory and by extension the eggs until they hatch 6–7 days later.
The banded rainbowfish lives in a wide variety of habitats, such as rivers, lagoons and slow moving streams and prefers areas with strong water flow, sandy substrate, dense sub surface vegetation and submerged logs and branches.
Banded rainbow fish are opportunistic omnivores, the bulk of their diet being arthropods such as aquatic insects, arachnids and crustaceans as well as algae and terrestrial insects that have drowned on the water surface such as green ants.

During his long career, film director Robert Rodriguez has worked on a number of projects which never progressed beyond the pre-production stage under his direction.
Both he and Allred have given numerous signals as to the start of production over the years, but with no result.
In 2009, 20th Century Fox studio executive, Alex Young, called Rodriguez to consider using his treatment to revive the individual Predator franchise.
It was originally thought that Rodriguez would direct, but on July 1, 2009, Nimród Antal was officially signed on to direct.

In June 2014, Fox announced plans for a new movie, with Shane Black co-writing and directing, Fred Dekker co-writing and John Davis producing (without the involvement of Rodriguez).
In November 2016, it was explained that since the plot takes place on Earth, the story will be more closely linked to the first two films.
By December 2014, Sony Pictures Entertainment acquired the rights to make the remake, with Rodriguez still attached to direct the film.
On March 11, 2014, with the formation of his very own television network, El Rey, Rodriguez considered switching gears and bringing it to TV.
In July 2016, Forbes reported that the film would start a franchise with Rodriguez and Rossio's script and will be directed by either Joe Cornish, Justin Lin or Scott Derrickson.

Thus, Mali has relationships with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), International Development Association (IDA), International Finance Corporations (IFC), and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA).
In 2019, the IBRD and IDA committed to lending 500 million US dollars to projects in Mali, a large jump from 2018, where only US$178 million was lent.
The bank group is currently involved in 30 projects in the region.These projects focused on areas such as mining, cotton, climate change, good governance, and health.
Since 2013, the World Bank Group has worked alongside their UN mission counterpart, MINUSMA (U.N. Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali) to create stability and growth in the region.
Consequently, since this time the World Bank has funded projects to increase foreign investors in this sector.The IDA has funded structural and good governance projects for the mines, including a recent US$40 million in June 2019.
However, there are many cases in which the World Bank has gotten involved directly in environmental projects — especially in the realm of deforestation and mitigation of climate change.
Two Forestry Projects — one from 1979-1985 and one from 1986-1992 — were funded US$4.5 million and US$6.3 million respectively by the IDA and IBRD.
From 1993-2001, the National Agricultural Research Project was formed to connect agriculture research and technology to local farmers to mitigate agricultural output with declining natural resources.
In 2014, US$63 million was given to improve transparency, public sector spending, and accountability in the government.Additionally, in the same year, the World Bank pushed Mali’s government to fire the ministers of defense, finance and investment, who were all involved in a corruption scandal.
The constituency holds 3.74% of the total votes in MIGA, 4.26% of the total votes in the IDA, 1.33% of the total votes in the IFC, and 2.03% of the total votes in the IBRD.

During this period, Bini struggled with several problems, which included the uneven distribution of the wet concrete due to asymmetric inflation.
By 1967, improvements were made and Bini demonstrated the prototype - a 12-meter dome constructed in a span of few hours - at the Columbia University in New York.
From 1970 to 1990, Bini constructed thousands of Binishells around the world, serving different purposes such as homes, schools, sports facilities, and industrial storage units.
One of the most notable of these was the Space City Shopping Center in Queensland, which is the world's biggest structure composed of intersecting Binishells.
Other Binishells constructed include the Cupola built for Michelangelo Antonioni and Monica Vitti as well as the Binishells built for the Fuji Pavilion during the 1970 Expo at Osaka.
The Binishell technology is also considered a potential solution to housing problems for displaced people, refugees, and evacuees, particularly in areas consistently damaged by disasters.
It uses prefabricated structural components, which is a combination of eight structural or building materials (four for walls and four for roofs) such as wood, concrete, steel, reinforced clay, durock, sheetrock, concrete, bricks, and bamboo.
Bini, together with architect David Dimitric, also designed Shimizu Corporation's Mega-City Pyramid project, a proposed vertical city over Tokyo Bay built by robots.
The architect has participated in initiatives advancing shell-concrete technology such the colloquium at the University of Stuttgart which focused on air and pneumatic structures.
Mount Cook is a mountain located in the Garibaldi Ranges of the Coast Mountains, in northwestern Garibaldi Provincial Park of southwestern British Columbia, Canada.
It is situated above the north shore of Wedgemount Lake, northeast of Whistler, and its nearest higher peak is Mount Weart, to the southeast.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Cook is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.

Yakshas seem to have been the object of an important cult in the early periods of Indian history, many of them being known such as Kubera, king of the Yakshas, Manibhadra or Mudgarpani.
The Yakshas are a broad class of nature-spirits, usually benevolent, but sometimes mischievous or capricious, connected with water, fertility, trees, the forest, treasure and wilderness, and were the object of popular worship.
Some of the earliest works of art of the Mathura school of art are the Yakshas, monumental sculptures of earth divinities that have been dated to the 2nd-1st century BCE.
Yakshas became the focus of the creation of colossal cultic images, typically around 2 meters or more in height, which are considered as probably the first Indian anthropomorphic productions in stone.
Although few ancient Yaksha statues remain in good condition, the vigor of the style has been applauded, and expresses essentially Indian qualities.
The inscription in Brahmi script on the base of the statue is in very bad condition, but has been partly deciphered.
It is often suggested that the style of the colossal Yaksha statuary had an important influence on the creation of later divine images and human figures in India.
The female equivalent of the Yashas were the Yashinis, often associated with trees and children, and whose voluptuous figures became omnipresent in Indian art.
Some Hellenistic influence, such as the geometrical folds of the drapery or the walking stance of the statues, has been suggested.
In the production of colossal Yaksha statues carved in the round, which can be found in several locations in northern India, the art of Mathura is considered as the most advanced in quality and quantity during this period.

Louis G. Jacobs obtained the construction permit for a new 5,000-watt radio station to serve Miami and South Miami in 1958, selecting the call letters WFAB for the new station.
In 1959, the construction permit was sold to WFAB, Inc., in a sale of 60 percent of the station from Louis G. Jacobs to Harold King.
While the new station's transmitter was under construction at 7500 SW 107th Avenue in South Miami, vandals stole of coaxial cable from the site.
WFAB signed on after years of delays on February 15, 1962, carrying programming for the African American community during the day and Spanish-language fare in the evenings.
Within months of signing on, it struck a pact with WCKT-TV to air a Spanish simulcast of WCKT's 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts.
As Miami's Cuban population boomed, ratings for WFAB and WQBA (1140 AM) rose: WFAB was third in the market in 1970 and WQBA fifth, putting two Spanish-language stations in the top 5.
In 1971, newsman Óscar Angulo was arrested by the United States Coast Guard along with three other exiles for planning a commando raid on Cuba.
WFAB rallied the Hispanic community in Miami to aid Nicaragua after the country was damaged by a major earthquake in 1972, with the station presenting the consul general of the country a $75,000 check garnered from donations to the station by listeners.
In 1973, Regalado recorded and aired a 20-minute phone conversation with the mother of dead dissident Pedro Luis Boitel, unusual because foreign telephone calls out of Cuba were closely monitored.
Even as WFAB demonstrated its ability to rally the Hispanic community in Miami, an existential threat formed at the Federal Communications Commission, one that hung over the entire United Broadcasting Company group, controlled by Richard Eaton.
At the start of 1973, the FCC ordered that WFAB, which had filed its license renewal application, join seven other United stations in comparative hearing for fraudulent billing practices.
The FCC review board then expanded the scope of the hearing at the petition of United Broadcasting Company of Florida that the station's public service record be considered.
Harrison held WFAB responsible for the record-keeping failures that allowed Miami appliance dealer Crown Trading Company to double- and triple-bill its suppliers for advertising reimbursements, using doctored WFAB letterhead, which continued even after a November 1970 management changeover.
It was not the only high-profile incident that month: on May 16, a dispute between rival factions over station control, stemming from its coverage of the April funeral of exile leader José Elías de la Torriente, spiraled out of control and prompted the station manager to call police.
In October 1975, the FCC upheld the judge's ruling, noting that the inexperienced local management had supplied blank WFAB letterhead to Crown in support of its misrepresentations and notarized incomplete documents.
United attempted an appeal; in the meantime, in January 1976, Eaton fired the entire 25-man air staff of WFAB and suspended normal programming.
The FCC denied United's efforts for a reprieve in November 1976, stating that it could not bring up new issues that could have been discussed previously in the proceeding.
A further blow to United came the next month, when the employees it had fired at the start of the year won a $60,000 settlement at the National Labor Relations Board.
WFAB was ordered by the commission to cease operations on the 22nd of the month; Congressman Claude Pepper introduced a bill to give United more time to respond to the FCC.
On February 20, its final day of broadcasting, some 6,000 people visited the station to sign a petition asking the FCC to reconsider; the station broadcast the opinions of listeners who called the closure an attack on the anti-Communist editorial stance of the station; and Latin-owned stores in Homestead closed their doors for an hour in protest.
The next month, United Broadcasting Company sued its lawyers, the law firm of Smith and Pepper, for $50 million, alleging that the firm mishandled the WFAB renewal fight and failed to file a timely appeal.
With WMYM deleted the FCC received eight applications to build a new station at 990 kHz in Miami, from The New Continental Broadcasting Company, Central Broadcasting, Dadeland Broadcasting Company, Women's Florida Association of Broadcasters, Latin American Broadcasters, Community Broadcasters, Dade Communications and Radio America Broadcasting, which went into comparative hearing.
In an initial decision in 1979, The New Continental—owned by Emilio Milián, a WQBA reporter who had lost his legs in a 1976 bomb attack—was given the nod; however, the FCC review board ruled in favor of Radio America the next year.
As a result of a settlement, RAB's application was dismissed, leaving three remaining contenders for the frequency; citing its higher percentage of female and minority principals than The New Continental, the FCC selected the application of Community Broadcasters, Inc., owned by María Teresa Saldise, Carrie Meek and María Elena Prío de Durán.

On December 3, 2019, a stronger, amended version of the bill—the Uighur Intervention and Global Humanitarian Unified Response Act (UIGHUR Act)—was passed by the United States House of Representatives by a vote of 407 to 1.
The bill would also call on United States President Donald Trump to impose sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Act on Xinjiang Communist Party Secretary Chen Quanguo, which would be the first time such sanctions would be imposed on a member of China's politburo.
Uyghur activists, think tank analysts and political representatives called on various governments to sanction Mainland Chinese officials for their perceived involvement in the Xinjiang conflict.
The Chinese government have called the bill a malicious attack on China and demanded that the United States prevent it from becoming law, warning that it would act to defend its interests as necessary.
On December 8, 2019, Minfeng/Niya County (in eastern Hotan Prefecture, southern Xinjiang) County Communist Party Committee Vice Secretary () and County Magistrate () Aizezi Aili () penned a criticism of the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act.

By governmental decree of 22 January 1938, a new high school was founded to provide indigenous Timorese with sufficient education to allow them to enter the lower level of the public administration.
It was installed in the school building, and named after , the Portuguese Minister for the Colonies (1936–1944) who was responsible for its foundation.
However, high school education could not be established at that time, because of the upheavals associated with World War II, during which Japanese forces invaded Timor, and the school building was one of the many buildings destroyed in the conflict.
Attendees of the high school included the later freedom fighter and first Prime Minister of East Timor, Nicolau dos Reis Lobato, and the later Minister of Social Solidarity, Maria Domingas Alves.
In 1961, the school building was enlarged on the basis of plans were drawn up by Eurico Pinto Lopes and António Sousa Mendes.
However, those plans were not fully implemented, as only the wing facing the Avenida Cidade de Lisboa (now Rua Formosa) and a new elementary school were built.
The building's exterior was rebuilt along the lines of the original design, but its interior was substantially modernised to house the Faculty of Education, Arts and Humanities of the National University of East Timor.

Additionally, the Doctor contacts Agent O, who was tasked with monitoring extraterrestrial activities before being struck off by C. C is killed by mysterious lifeforms, while the Doctor and her companions manage to escape.
While Yaz and Ryan investigate Barton (whose DNA they discover to be 93% human), who invites them to his birthday party the following day, Graham and the Doctor find O in the Australian outback.
Leaping aboard said jet, O reveals he is actually the Master – having been in control of Barton and the aliens, a race known as the Kasaavins, the whole time.
The Master teleports to his waiting TARDIS and two of the Kasaavins cause the Doctor to disappear from the plane, reappearing in the same environment Yaz was in earlier; leaving the others in the falling plane.
In the Kasaavins' dimension, the Doctor meets computer pioneer Ada Lovelace and grabs her hand when a Kasaavin appears, transporting them to an invention exhibition in 1834, where they encounter the Master.

In 1951, the World Bank approved an Agriculture project in Paraguay marking the beginning of a partnership that persists to this day and has given rise to 76 development projects of which 6 are currently active.
Paraguay saw an annual growth rate of 4.5% per year until 2016 making it one of the fastest growing economies among regional neighbors.The implementation of steady and dependable macroeconomic policies have fostered a friendly environment for investors that largely contribute to Paraguay's consistent economic growth, however much of Paraguay's economic development has resulted from the replacement of forests with agriculture operations.
As forests become increasingly scarce and climate change disrupts agricultural output, Paraguay will be forced to adapt its economy and society to meet a number of targets including strengthening the rule of law, achieving sustainability in regards to its natural resources, investing in human capital, and improving government services.
Poverty has been steadily decreasing from 57.7% of Paraguayans living below the national poverty line in 2002 to only 26.4% in 2017.
Paraguay has a score of 0.53 on the Human Capital Index which allows a range of scores from 0 to 1.
Other important economic sectors of Paraguay include electricity and mining.Paraguay's banking industry is still recovering from a liquidity crisis in 1995 which saw the shutdown of several important banks following news of financial malpractice and money laundering.
An IMF bailout aided in the recovery and reform of Paraguay's financial sector but Paraguay still struggles to find willing creditors.
Paraguay is one of the largest energy exporters in the world, and the World Bank places an emphasis on the realization and optimization of Paraguay's energy sector in order to boost its economy.
Almost all of Paraguay's energy is produced at the massive Itaipú hydroelectric dam which lies on the Paraná river bordering Brazil and Paraguay.
Though Paraguay could not contribute financially to the construction of the dam, it was able to contribute by conceding ownership of the construction site to Brazil and agreeing to export energy to Brazil at a discounted rate.
Construction spanned nine years from 1973 to 1982 and during this period the Gross Domestic Product of Paraguay grew at a rate of 8% annually and Brazil's appetite for Paraguayan energy provided the necessary stimulus for Paraguay to rapidly develop its agriculture sector.
Paraguay has collaborated with the IBRD on a total of 58 projects in 10 sectors including agriculture, health, education, and central governance.
The IBRD has committed $315 million to Paraguay in 2019 of which $93.51 million has been disbursed as of July 31 2019.
Much of its beef production occurs in the Chaco region of Paraguay which has lost 250,000 hectares of bio diverse forest per year.
IFC intervention is expected to increase productivity from 140 to 250 kilograms of beef per hectare while preserving 50% of the regions native forests.
Greenhouse gasses are expected to fall by 23% and the IFC is investing in energy and water efficient meat processing plants.
It was approved in 2013 and has helped 24,875 households increase their agriculture output and profitability in rural regions of the country by providing technical assistance and connecting them to markets and value chainswhile also ensuring long term sustainability and environmental preservation.
The Water and Sanitation Sector Modernization project was improved in 2009 and has improved water access to 10% of the population in Asuncion.
Key water sanitation and sewage facilities throughout the city were upgraded and modernized as well as 16 rural sewage networks for indigenous populations.
Over 33km of pipes were installed in total reducing the spread of disease and improving living conditions for thousands of Paraguayans.
The Paraguay Health Sector strengthening project has received a commitment of $115 million by the IBRD and is a project aimed at tackling a multitude of healthcare related goals in Paraguay.
The goal of the project is for 152 new family health care centers to be integrated into a new system so that a total of 225 are operating at a more efficient and improved national standardThe project also aims to increase those covered by the Ministry of Public Health and Social Welfare with access to primary care from 32% to 40%.
These Family Health Care Centers will also be improving their services and expanding them so that more women receive prenatal checkups, more hypertension patients are correctly diagnosed, and the amount of TB cases diagnosed can increase from 78% to 88%.
These goals will be met through the use of investments by the IBRD to build new care centers, train more staff, revise practice guidelines, increase patient registration in the new centralized database to 70%, and the implementation of a system to control the stock of certain medicines within the country.
In 2013 The World Banks private lending institution (IFC) approved a loan of $85 million to Brazilian beef company in an attempt to boost economic growth in the Chaco region of Paraguay.
The loan was supposed to create employment opportunities and bring a much needed investment stream to the region, however investigative journalists from Reporter Brasil found evidence that the company was exploiting indigenous workers, including children, and clearing bio diverse forests to make way for cattle production.
One element of that supply chain verification system required Minerva submit a map to the IFC outlining suppliers most likely to exploit slave and child labor, however no such map was ever submitted to the IFC nor were other actions undertaken to meet the conditions of the Environmental and Social Action Plan.
Labor Unions in Paraguay that oppose the loan argue that without stringent safeguards, the program was certain to cause negative environmental and social implications from the start.
The Chaco region is roughly the size of the United Kingdom and lacks the resources to enforce labor laws and carry out cattle farm inspections.
The project received a total of $766 million from the World Bank between 1979 and 1992 while initially being projected to cost around $2.6 billion.This estimate proved to be incorrect as the project has ended accumulating a price tag of over $12 billion to date and still does not operate at maximum capacity.
During the construction of the project, engineering and construction companies and politicians siphoned off billions of dollars meant for the construction of the dam.
Further sources of controversy include allegations that the World Bank violated its own environmental and supervision policies, accusations that were confirmed when the World Bank Inspection Panel visited the project and submitted a report outlining the policies that were violated.

In the first period, the County of Loon led by claimant Diederik of Heinsberg managed to maintain its autonomy in relation to the Prince-Bishopric of Liège.
During the second period, however, Arnold of Rummen, the last indigenous claimant to the title of count of Loon, first had to sell the County of Chiny to the Duchy of Luxemburg to cover his military expenses, and soon after conceded defeat.
The chapter invoked a decision made at the Diet of Frankfurt of 13 August 1246, which stipulated that all ecclesiastical fiefs should return into the Catholic Church's possession if the vassal died without children.
The chapter allotted 40,000 guilders for the conquest of Loon, and requested and received the support of the Pope in Avignon, Benedict XII.
The Liégeois cities supported the chapter's demand, but the Liégeois nobility preferred a different hereditary custom, in which sisters and sons are allowed to inherit fiefdoms.
The prince-bishop of Liège himself, Adolph of the Mark, was a brother-in-law of Diederik, and initially did not want a conflict with his own family, and distanced himself from the demands of his chapter.
While the Pope was putting the prince-bishop under pressure to claim Loon by military force in the name of the Church, Diederik was appointed as the count of Loon by Emperor Louis the Bavarian on 12 April 1336.
Although Adolph occupied Kolmont (near Tongeren), this was more of a symbolic act than a strategic move, and on 13 August 1337 he received a new papal reminder to annex Loon in its entirety.
As soon as Diederik heard the demand to surrender his county to the Church of Liège, he deliberately turned towards Liège's arch enemy, the Duchy of Brabant, on 19 December 1337.
He concluded a military alliance with duke John III, agreeing to support each other if either of them was attacked, especially by Liège.
When Diederik died in January 1361, his succession was challenged by Arnold of Rummen and Godfrey of Dalenbroek (both cousins of Diederik) on the one hand, and prince-bishop Engelbert III on the other, who once again tried to annex Loon.
The latter managed to rally the assistance of duke Wenceslaus of Brabant and Luxembourg (whom he was already serving as an advisor) and his half-brother, emperor Charles IV; moreover, his wife Elisabeth was rich.
The next year, Engelbert III became archbishop of Cologne; John of Arkel, the bishop of Utrecht, replaced him as prince-bishop of Liège.
That same year, John of Arkel invaded Loon anew; the ongoing war forced Arnold to sell Chiny to Wenceslaus, who merged it into the Duchy of Luxemburg.

The Personal Data Protection Bill 2019 (PDP Bill 2019) was tabled in the Indian Parliament by the Minister of Electronics and Information Technology on 11 December 2019.
As of 17 December 2019 the Bill is being analyzed by a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) in consultation with various groups.
The Bill covers mechanisms for protection of personal data and proposes the setting up of a Data Protection Authority of India for the same.
Some key provisions the 2019 Bill provides for which the 2018 draft Bill did not such as that the central government can exempt any government agency from the Bill and the Right to Be Forgotten has been included.
In July 2017, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology set up a committee to study issues related to data protection.
After further deliberations the Bill was approved by the cabinet ministry of India on 4 December 2019 as the Personal Data Protection Bill 2019 and tabled in the Lok Sabha on 11 December 2019.
The Wikimedia Foundation is hoping that the PDP bill will prove the lesser evil compared with the Draft Information Technology [Intermediary Guidelines (Amendment) Rules] 2018.
It runs north-south from Connaught Road Central to Des Voeux Road Central, and ends at its intersection with Des Voeux Road Central, though the street name is continued in Douglas Lane which continues almost all the way to Queen's Road Central before curving and converging with Li Yuen Street East.
The street is named after Hong Kong Tai-pan Douglas Lapraik whose dockyard was once located in the area now reclaimed and the site of Exchange Square.
Douglas Street has been dubbed as a Hawker Blackspot for Central and Western District meaning that the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department would give no warning to hawkers at the location before taking prosecution actions against them if they are caught.
As the street has been converted for pedestrian use, MTR was granted permission to use the street as the location for Exit C of Hong Kong Station.
Underneath Douglas Street runs a major portion of the pedestrian subway linking Hong Kong Station to Central Station within the paid area.

At 385.3 m above sea level, the Jenzig is one of the highest mountains in the Saale Valley area and is located northeast of the city center.
From its dome-shaped and elongated form, the mountain is evidently an eroded plateau formed by the action of the Saale river on the limestone of the area.
Based on archaeological discoveries, the Jenzig was a fortified hilltop settlement during the time of the Urnfield culture (about 1300 BC to 800 BC), offering protection to the surrounding population.
In 1936, a hoard was discovered while quarrying, which can now be found in the prehistoric collection of the University of Jena.
The nearly 3.5 kg complex consists of 28 bronze objects such as neck and arm rings, spirals, a bejeweled disc, two sickles, a knife, a hatchet and a spiral plate fibula.
Fortified prehistoric hill settlements contemporary to those found on the Jenzig are also known in the vicinity of the Alte Gleisberg near Bürgel, the Johannisberg near Lobeda and the Dohlenstein near Kahla.
The 2090-meter high Mount Jenzig in northern Victoria Land in Antarctica was named in 1988 by Klaus Duphorn (Kiel University) after the Jenzig.
She is also a member of the Executive Committee and National Council of the Catalan Greens, Iniciativa per Catalunya Verds (ICV).
During the coalition government between Partit dels Socialistes de Catalunya, Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya and ICV that lasted from 1999 to 2011 (without Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya from 2007) - she worked as an Advisor to the Deputy Mayor in charge of sustainability, the environment and urban services for five years (2002 – 2007).
In June 2003 she began her involvement in politics by becoming a member of the Catalan Green Party (Iniciativa per Catalunya Verds) where she has held several different responsibilities: a member of the Political Commission of Barcelona, a member of the National Council, a member of the Executive Committee and a member of the International Relations Working Group.
In November 2012 she was elected as an Executive Committee Member of the European Green Party at the 17th Council Meeting of the European Greens held in Athens.
Throughout her mandate she was responsible for strategy planning for the Green family, for the party's Gender Network, and for capacity building and networking coordination among member parties.
Two years later, in November 2014, Mar Garcia was elected as the Secretary General of the European Green Party at the 21st Council Meeting of the European Greens in Istanbul (2014), taking over from the previous Secretary General who stepped down from the role.
Garcia was re-elected at the 23rd Council Meeting of the European Greens in Lyon (2015) for an extended mandate that would cover the 2019 European Election campaign.
During this mandate, a high priority was given to the enhancement of collaboration among the European Green family, namely among the Member Parties spread across Europe, the Greens/EFA Group in the European Parliament, the Federation of Young European Greens and the Green European Foundation.
Through an innovative digital campaign present all over the European Union, the share of votes for the European Greens increased from 7 to 10 percent.
Her research focuses on the transnational interaction between narrative and cultural memory and is authoritative in the field of Memory Studies.
From 1988 to 2000 she was a lecturer in Literary Theory at the Comparative Literature programme, University of Utrecht; in 2000 she was appointed Professor of Comparative Literature at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
Her early work dealt with narrative and imaginative strategies in history-writing and historical novels, with special attention to writers like Jules Michelet, Thomas Carlyle and Sir Walter Scott.
She then turned to more general models of how the past is configured in the present-day imagination, and to the question how this imagination is expressed and communicated.
In her historiographical theory she resists a view of history centered on ideal-typical historians (as academics in history departments writing archive-based books on the social and political history of their own country); this, she argues, fails to do justice to the wide range of practices, academic and otherwise, through which societies take account of the past.
She held visiting research fellowships at the University of Liège (1984-1985), Trinity College Dublin (1995), the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies (2009-2010), the University of Konstanz (research group History and Memory, 2011), and at the Lichtenberg Kolleg (Institute for Advanced Study), University of Göttingen (2012).
This led to the establishment of the Network in Transnational Memory Studies (NITMES), which won a €59,000 grant from NWO, the Netherlands national funding agency for scientific research, in 2015.
She is also an elected member of the Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities (Koninklijke Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen), and of Academia Europaea.

With the graduation of Archbold, Guice was named team captain and took up the majority of the scoring load for the Bulldogs, averaging a team-high 13.4 field goal attempts per game, and he led the team in scoring with 17.3 points per game.
He also ranked second on the team in assists per game (1.9) and steals per game (1.2), trailing Tim Bowen in both categories.
Guice's senior season saw him again being named the team captain, and he averaged career-highs in all shooting categories (his free throw percentage of 77.4 led the conference), and a career high in points per game with 18.2, which made him the 4th best scorer in the MCC.

Aktionsjuden are the approximately 30,000 Jews in Germany and Austria deported within the region or the country after the Kristallnacht of 9/10 November 1938.
They were deported to the concentration camps Buchenwald, Dachau and Sachsenhausen by the NSDAP organizations and the police in the days after the pogrom.
Around 500 Jews were murdered, committed suicide or died as a result of ill-treatment and refused medical treatment in the concentration camps.
In the early morning hours of 10 November, Reinhard Heydrich forwarded an order by Heinrich Himmler to all state police headquarters and SD top sections.
In addition to the Gestapo and the local police, even the SA, SS and the National Socialist Motor Corps became active.
Most male Jews were arrested in their homes, but arrests were also made at work, in hotels, schools and train stations.
While the deployment of police officers in large cities was mostly formally correct and without additional humiliation or maltreatment, elsewhere insults, kicks and blows were not uncommon.
The historian Wolfgang Benz recorded that up to 10,000 Jews remained in prisons or local collection points because the accommodation available in concentration camps was insufficient.
Reliable figures and comprehensive information on their release from prison or the duration of their imprisonment are not available and there is a research deficit.
Most of the prisoners arrived in the three concentration camps of Dachau, Sachsenhausen and Buchenwald in the first two to three days after the pogrom night.
A humiliating admission procedure with hours of standing for appeals, undressing, hair cutting and putting on the prisoners' clothes had a shocking effect on the victims and is widely described in eyewitness accounts.
The daily routine was structured by three appeals, which often lasted for hours and became a torture in rain and cold.
As of 12 December, the inmates over 50 years of age were to be released, and as of 21 December, Jewish teachers were to be given preferential dismissal.
Others gained their freedom because their plans to leave the country had already reached an advanced stage or even their visas were threatening to expire.
Jewish car owners, who had their driving license revoked from 3 December 1938, were pressured to sell their cars at a ridiculous price.

Mrinal has been a scriptwriter and creative producer for several TV channels some of which include Zee TV, Balaji Telefilms, Doordarshan, Star Plus, UTV.
He was a decorated veteran and a member of the so-called Guinea Pig Club, an association that focused on the treatment, rehabilitation and socialization of airmen who suffered serious injuries in the war.
His family had a small farm, and he was one of three children.. From a young age, Šiška wanted to fly and to become a pilot.
He would later earn a reward of 5000 crowns for his improvement proposal for the Zlin Z-XII aircraft, but he preferred pilot training.
He mastered combat training, served in aviation units and in September 1938 was at the field airport in Ivanovice among the prepared crews.
Šiska was a member of an illegal cell through which he helped Jews and others escape to Poland and later to Hungary.
In order not to fall into their hands, it was decided within the illegal group that the prototype must fly to the Balkans.
Together with Alois Bača, they fled across the frozen river Morava to Slovakia, then with the help of a Hungarian pastor, they crossed the Slovak-Hungarian border and continued by train to the border with Yugoslavia.
The opportunity to escape with Šiška did not come until March 30, 1940, when he visited the doctor, due to scabies.
His following steps, already a member of MS. foreign troops, headed through Turkey to Syria, where he joined with other members of the army on a boat trip across the Mediterranean to France.
They landed in Marseille on April 25th, briefly served at an airport near Bordeaux, but did not intervene in the ongoing fighting for France and on June 21st were on their way to the English coast.
Alois Siska belonged to a few MS. pilots who participated in the crossing of the Alps with subsequent bombing of the industrial Italian city of Turin.
On December 28, 1941, a six-member crew of the 311th RAF Bomber Squadron had to make a rough emergency landing in the North Sea after damage to the plane KX-B after the bombing of Wilhelmshaven.
During the landing, one of his crew lost his life, while the remaining five members had to make use of an inflatable boat to survive.
At sea, they had close encounters with rescue planes, but rescue did not come despite the unwritten agreement in RAF to save castaways at all costs.
The planes dropped parcels full of resources, but due to the rough sea, the crew members did not dare go into the water to retrieve the packages.
Due to poor health and no help in sight, Šiška and the crew members contemplated suicide but decided against it as they had no means to carry out the deed and did not want to do it by self-drowning.
Much to their astonishment, they drifted towards the Dutch coast and when they were found near the Petten, they were arrested by the German Coast Guard.
Šiška was in the worst state of the three as he had gotten severe frostbite and gangrene of the feet, and doctors were preparing for amputation when Šiška experienced a sudden heart attack.
This experience and his subsequent apparent clinical death ultimately saved his feet from amputation, but he could not walk until after the war when he underwent multiple surgeries to help repair the damage.
The Gestapo ordered a death sentence for Šiška, but that order was never enforced due to threats from Winston Churchill that for every soldier killed in a British uniform, two high-rank German officials would be killed in response.
Until the end of the war, he was held at Oflag IVC in Colditz, a notorious prison camp that held military elites.
He worked in agriculture and as a TV repairman because as an ex-RAF pilot he was not allowed to hold a career.
For instance, on October 17, 2012, a monument was unveiled in Petten, Holland in honor of the Czech crew of the Wellington KX-B plane that went down in the North Sea on December 28, 1941.

He became an attaché in the Japanese mission in London, and was posted to Nanjing before returning to the Foreign Ministry.

Alois Dorn (20 May 1908 - 24 August 1985) was an Austrian visual artist known in particular as a sculptor, a painter, a glass-painter and a creator of mosaics.
Alois Dorn was born at Mühlheim am Inn, a rural village in Upper Austria approximately equidistant between Munich and Linz: he grew up in conditions of some poverty in nearby Suben am Inn.
Partly on account of this, much of his work was degraded or destroyed by British and American aerial bombing during the Second World War.
In 1933 the National Socialists had taken power and transformed the country into a one-party dictatorship which lasted for slightly more than twelve years.
Through the filter of subsequent decades, most available sources are silent on the details of Alois Dorner's relationship with National Socilialism during these years.
Although he was not much of a political activist, there are instances that can be adduced to show that he was broadly sympathetic towards aspects of government policy that mainstream opinion after 1945 found deeply unpalatable.
Investigation of Dorn's own archived papers indicates that in 1935 he became a member of the , the organisation for visual artists created by the party, membership of which would greatly have eased his professional progress under the dictatorship.

In 1960 or 1961 they moved to Upper Austria, which for Alois Dorn represented a return to his roots, and where they now settled at Leonding, a small prosperous town just outside Linz.
Slightly less than quarter of a century later, following the death of Gertrud Fussenegger, the mortal remains of Alois Dorn were dug up and removed to the cemetery at Leonding, near the home the couple had shared.

The Second Severomuysky Tunnel (Russian: Второй Северому́йский тонне́ль) is a 15 km long one-way Russian gauge railroad tunnel, which is currently under construction on the Baikal–Amur Mainline (BAM) in the north-western part of Buryatia, Russia.
The new tunnel will allow to increase the annual freight capacity of that particular part of the BAM from 16 to 100 million tons.
In 2010, the Russian Railways president Vladimir Yakunin announced his ambitious plan to reconstruct the BAM to reach a freight capacity of 100 million tons by 2050.
In November, it was announced that the second tunnel would add another 68 daily trains to today’s 38, and the budget for the new tunnel construction was estimated at 190 billion rubles, excluding VAT ($2.89 billion).
In March 2019, Dmitry Bosov, the owner of Siberian Anthracite Group, sent a letter to the Russian president Vladimir Putin, proposing to build the new tunnel in 5 years and privately finance it in exchange for the Group’s priority access to the BAM and the Trans-Siberian Railway to transport 50 mln tons of cargo annually for the next 25 years.
According to the Russian Railways president Oleg Belozyorov, his colleagues together with the Federal Agency for Railway Transport, the Ministry of Transport, and the Federal Antimonopoly Service are still working on forming a public-private partnership that would legitimise the proposed ‘concession with lease’ and still provide Russian companies with a non-discriminatory access to the railways.

Bach structured the cantata in 14 movements and scored it for four vocal parts and a Baroque orchestra with flutes, oboes and strings.
He led the first performances at the two main churches of Leipzig on 26 December 1734 during morning and vespers services.
Part II of the oratorio begins, in contrast to the other parts, with the instrumental Sinfonia, a concerto of shepherds and angels.
For the principal churches, Thomaskirche and Nikolaikirche, the director musices determined which music was to be performed during the services on Sundays and feast days.
On the Second Day of Christmas, 26 December, Leipzig celebrated Christmas in even years and St. Stephen's Day in uneven years, with different readings.
The theme of the first reading is God's mercy appearing in Christ and that of the second the shepherds at the manger.
In 1733, Augustus III of Poland succeeded his father, Augustus the Strong, as Elector of Saxony and took residence in Dresden.
Bach hoped to become court composer, and dedicated his Kyrie–Gloria Mass in B minor, BWV 232 I (early version), to Augustus in 1733.
While Part I of the oratorio covers the birth of Jesus, Part II is focused on the annunciation to the shepherds.
Bach scored it for four vocal soloists, a four-part choir () and a Baroque instrumental ensemble of two traversos (Tra), two oboes d'amore (Oa), two oboes da caccia (Oc), two violins (Vl), viola (Va) and basso continuo.
The scene is reflected in two arias, an alto aria anticipating a lullaby for the newborn and a tenor aria calling to run to the manger in joy.
Albert Schweitzer likened the music to a concerto of the shepherds, playing oboes, and the angels playing strings and flute in unison with the first violin.
The movement is a ternary form, ABA', repeating the beginning modified after a middle section, and this a forerunner of the classical sonata form, as Dürr notes.
Each section is in again three groups, taking the analogy to the sonata form further: string music, as a first theme, is followed by oboe music as a second theme and combined music as the closing group.
The absence of a chorus in the first movement signifies the stillness of the nightly scene, giving more weight to the voices to follow.
The shepherds are told that the weak child shall be comfort and joy to them and all (using the first person plural) and will conquer Satan and ultimately bring peace.

Using the first person plural, it includes everyone in singing praises with the angels because the long-awaited guest has finally appeared.
The chorale is set in G major, and instrumental motifs between the lines are taken from the opening Sinfonia, confirming the symmetry of the cantata's structure.

Likewise, Rotenberg did not describe the six-week-long Nanking massacre until he learned more about it:I hesitated to write about it for a long, long, time because it is such a largescale human event.
But then I saw a photo exhibit in London about the massacre, where I learned about 18 American missionaries who convinced the Japanese to mark a safe zone in Nanking, and found my way in.
He graduated from Cheyenne Central High School, received a Bachelor of Science degree in zoology from the University of Wyoming, and a Juris Doctor from Sturm College of Law at the University of Denver.

The Nativity painting illustrates a nocturnal scene, wherein the splendorous newborn Jesus lies in his mother's arms, and illuminates up the surrounding faces of adoring shepherds, men and women, and children.
It is likely the painting was acquired as part of the ‘Camuccini Collection’, a gallery of 74 paintings acquired by Algernon, 4th Duke, from Rome in 1856.
The term Pax Austriaca, sometimes Pax Habsburgica, has been used by scholars to describe the imperial ideology of the House of Habsburg, also known as House of Austria.
The Archduke Frederick III is credited as the initiator of the ideology as he was the first Habsburg to be elected Holy Roman Emperor, and coined the motto A.E.I.O.U.
The Peace of Westphalia ended the universal aspirations of the Habsburg Monarchy and put an end to the possibility of a Pax Austriaca, although the term has also been used to describe later policies of the Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary.

The city, especially because of its historical significance, was specially visited by the first person to take off in space - Yuri Gagarin.
A Thracian settlement was founded at the place of the modern town in the 5th-4th centuries BC and was known for its asclepion, a shrine dedicated to medicine god Asclepius (the second largest in the Balkans, after the one in Epidaurus).
Dentheletae in the period 186 BC - 16 BC are allied to the Romans and assist in the conquest of neighboring Macedonia by the Romans, fighting against Perseus of Macedon.
In 55 BC in the famous speech of Cicero before the Roman Senate against Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus (consul 58 BC), who is still governor of Macedonia (57-55 BC), criticizes the Roman governor of Macedonia that by his unwise policy made the Dentheletae of Rome's most loyal subjects into the most eminent enemies.
In the reign of Hadrian, the people both of Pautalia and Serdica added Ulpia to the name of their town, probably in consequence of some benefit received from that emperor.
From the end of the 2nd century to the beginning of the 3rd century Pautalia cut his bronze coins (more than 900 species have been found so far) with testimonials on them and on the emperors Septimius Severus with Julia Domna and Caracalla.
In the Razmetanitsa locality, east of the town, were located the father lands of Cometopuli dynasty, and in Tsarichina (locality) /Palatovo/ - the summer residence of Tsar Samuil.
It became a major religious and administrative centre of the Byzantine Empire, and subsequently the Second Bulgarian Empire after Kaloyan conquered the area between 1201 and 1203.
It was a kaza centre in the Sofia sanjak of Danube Province until the creation of the Principality of Bulgaria in 1878.
In May 1918, the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Charles I of Austria was here, and on September 9, 1918, the Bavarian King Ludwig III of Bavaria.
He was treated between October 1916 and March 1917 at a military hospital in the city during his service on the Macedonian front, to which the 11th Army, composed mainly of Bavarians, was deployed.

Settlement blocs (sometimes referred to as consensus settlements) is term used to refer to those Israeli settlements and territory around them considered candidates to be retained by Israel in any peace agreement.
Palestinian leaders have accepted the principle of swaps although neither they nor the United States have ever agreed on a delineation of the blocs.
At Camp David, Israel offered to establish a sovereign Palestinian state encompassing the Gaza Strip, 92 percent of the West Bank (91 percent of the West Bank plus the equivalent of 1 percent of the West Bank in land from pre-1967 Israel), and some parts of Arab East Jerusalem.
The Palestinians used a total area of 5,854 square kilometers whereas Israel excluded the area known as No Man's Land (50 sq.
As part of the Annapolis plan, Olmert proposed annexing all the major settlement blocs (about 5.9 percent of the West Bank territory), in exchange for 5.2 percent of Israeli territory whereas Abbas proposed giving Israel 1.6 percent of the West Bank in exchange for 2 percent of Israeli territory.
Meeting with EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, Netanyahu voices willingness for the first time since taking office to discuss size of settlement blocs and their borders with Palestinians.
In a report using data through 2015, Haaretz, without specifying how it had defined settlement blocs, gave the total number of settlers in blocs in the West Bank (excluding East Jerusalem) as 214,459 (56% of 382,916) located in 19 (of 125) settlements (excluding outposts).
Speaking at a public conference on December 8, 2019, Netanyahu said:I think the time has come to extend Israeli sovereignty over the Jordan Valley, and also arrange the status of all the settlements in Judea and Samaria, those inside the settlement blocks, and those that are not in the blocs.
In a historic pro-democracy landslide in 2019 District Council election, the group won a total of four seats in the Tuen Mun District Council.
The group was formed in 2015 as a Tuen Mun-based community group by a group of young people in their 20s to early 30s.
It was notable for their involvement in revealing the scandal of the high repairing cost of the elevators in Leung King Estate and a protest caused by hawkers issue in 2016.
It was part of the Community Network Union, a localist political alliance of six community groups led by pro-independence Ventus Lau.
In 2017, it organised more than 13,000 people signing a petition demanding pro-Beijing legislator Junius Ho who was a member Tuen Mun District Council to resign over his remarks on killing independence advocates.
In the 2019 anti-extradition bill protests, the group also arranged coaches to drive residents to Hong Kong Island to join the June 9 protest.
Tuen Mun Community Network filled five candidates in the 2019 District Council election, with Poon Chi-kin in Tsui Hing, Wong Tan-ching in Shan King, Law Cheuk-yung in King Hing, Tsang Chun-hing in Hing Tsak and Wong Tak-yuen in Leung King.
Four of the five candidates were elected in the pro-democracy historic landslide victory except for Law Cheuk-yung who lost in King Hing, which saw the pro-democrats gaining control of the Tuen Mun District Council and the group becoming the third largest grouping.

In each of the four heats in the Elimination Round, the top two surfers advance to the Round of 32, while the lowest-placed surfer is eliminated from the competition.
From the Round of 32 onwards, the competition follows a single elimination format, with the winner of each head-to-head heat advancing to the next round and the loser being eliminated.
Married to Blasina Tobar Finch in 1843, he was the father of future Colombian president Miguel Antonio Caro as well as future first lady Margarita Caro Tobar, the wife of another president Carlos Holguin Mallarino.
It was the last of the sixteen affiliates of the German Trade Union Confederation (DGB) to be established, because of difference of opinion between the communist-influenced construction union in the British occupation zone, members of the South Baden and Bavarian union who would have preferred to remain independent, and restrictions on unions in the French occupation zone.
All the initial executive members of the union had been prominent trade unionists in Weimar Germany, and as a result they had the highest average age of executive members of any DGB affiliate.
The union established the Beneficial Vacation Fund for the Construction Sector, and membership grew through the post-war need for reconstruction, although there were some downward pressures on wages from exiles from East Germany moving to the West.
The union became more active under Georg Leber's leadership, from 1957, although he controversially argued that wage increases should be linked to productivity growth.
He also argued for an Advantage Equilisation Fund, whereby non-unionised construction workers would pay for training, scholarships and rest facilities, to benefit everyone in the industry.
Under the leadership of Rudolf Sperner, from 1966, the union was less prominent, but despite several recessions, it increased its membership to a record peak in 1981.
Spencer has worked closely with many well-known American celebrities, including Ashton Kutcher, Tyra Banks, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, and Will Smith.

Located near Krishnarajapuram railway station on Old Madras Road, the junction witnesses high traffic congestion and is one of the worst traffic bottlenecks in the city.
The junction connects the Outer Ring Road IT cluster of Mahadevapura–Marathahalli–Bellandur with areas along the National Highway 44 such as Hebbal.
In 2019, Government of Karnataka announced that a flyover would be constructed at the junction which would connect the Outer Ring Road cable bridge with Benniganahalli Flyover.
A plan to build a double-decked Metro-cum-flyover corridor at the junction was dropped, after BMRCL found the proposal to be infeasible.

The suit alleges that CNN reported that Nunes traveled to Vienna in December 2018, and met with Viktor Shokin, the former Ukrainian prosecutor general, about investigating Joe Biden.
Nontrigonal pnictogen compounds refer to tricoordinate trivalent pnictogen (phosphorus, arsenic, antimony and bismuth: P, As, Sb and Bi) compounds that are not of typical trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.
By virtue of their geometric constraint, these compounds exhibit distinct electronic structures and reactivities, which bestow on them potential to provide unique nonmetal platforms for bond cleavage reactions.
The first examples of nontrigonal pnictogen compound were synthesized by Arduengo and co-workers in 1984, through condensation of a diketoamine with a phosphorus trihalide in the presence of base.
Other synthetic methods involve deprotonation of OH or NH groups in the presence of ECl (E=P, As, Sb and Bi), salt metathesis or reduction of pentavalent pnictogen compounds.
The molecular structures of nontrigonal pnictogen compounds reveal the steric strain in these molecules, and significantly differing bond angles at the pnictogen atoms indicate a considerable distortion of the coordination spheres.
In particular, the geometry at the central part of these compounds deviate strongly from traditional pnictogen compounds, and indicate molecular strain with an approach to a T-type molecular configuration.
The flattened geometry of these molecules influences the relatively low energetic barriers for inversion of the configuration via planar coordinated pnictogen atoms in the transition state.
Results of quantum chemical calculations confirm that in these compounds, the lone pair of electrons at the pnictogen atoms is localized in orbitals with relatively high s-character.
From these results, only weak nucleophilicity was derived in accordance with some experimental observations such as the inertness towards benzyl bromide.
The LUMO is delocalized but has important contributions from pnictogen empty p orbitals, which should favor a nucleophilic attack of substrates at this position in accordance with experimental findings.
Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis reveals an s-type lone pair and a p-type lone pair at the metal, with the remaining two p orbitals being involved in one two-center-two-electron bond and one three-center-two-electron bond.
Although considerable Bi(I) character is indicated for the Bi compound, it exhibits reactivity similar to Bi(III) electrophiles, and expresses either a vacant or a filled p orbital at Bi.
From these results, two types of resonance structures can be drawn, one with a filled s-orbital and a vacant p orbital at the pnictogen center, the other one with negative charge on pnictogen, arising from the redox-non-innocent nature of the ligand.
These easily available and sterically constrained compounds are potentially suitable for an application in a wide variety of secondary processes such as small molecule activation or the generation of new catalysts based on main-group and transition-metal elements.
Since the LUMOs of nontrigonal pnictogen compounds consist mainly of the vacant p orbitals of the pnictogen nuclei, they could undergo one-electron reduction to afford radical anions if the energy levels of LUMOs are appropriate.
The oxidation of nontrigonal phosphorus compounds and transfer of halogen molecules to the phosphorus atoms to generate phosphoranes with phosphorus atoms in an oxidation state of +5 was achieved by various synthetic procedures.
These dihalides are promising starting materials and potentially applicable for the generation of numerous secondary products, but only few reactions have been reported so far in the literature.
These sterically constrained phosphorus compounds show remarkable reactivity towards protic reagents such as primary amines and alcohols, which results in intermolecular oxidative addition of these O−H and N−H bonds.
Two mechanisms have been suggested for the understanding of the unusual insertion of phosphorus atoms into polar X−H bonds by oxidative addition.
Up to now, several complexes have been successfully synthesized, but they have not yet been applied in secondary processes, such as catalytic cycles.
It is worth noting that, apart from direct metalation of this ligand with RuCl(PPh), metalation with a ruthenium hydride compound RuHCl(CO)(PPh) yields a complex with net insertion into the Ru−H bond.
These ligands, along with recent developments for higher valent states of Sb ligands, may possess rich potential in the field of catalysis and sensing.
Jumbe-Souli inherited the throne of the island of Moheli (Mwali) after the death of her father, King Ramanateka, also known as Sultan Abderahmane.
When the missionary David Griffiths returned to Moheli in 1841, expecting to meet her father he in fact found his young daughter Jumbe-Souli on the throne.
In 1863, the French government sent a delegation to meet with Queen Jumbe-Souli and the event was recorded by a visiting photographer Désiré Charnay.
The purpose of the visit had been to impress upon the young queen the advantages of becoming a French colony; she resisted.
Jumbe-Souli lived in the palace, overlooking the sea, next to which was the garrison - a white building of two rooms, which held 28 soldiers.
Queen Jumbe-Souli's date of death is uncertain, but in 1886, Mohéli was placed under French protection by its ruler, Salima Machamba.
In 1360–1364 he was governor of the island of Lemnos, and then of Thessalonica, until his death from the plague sometime before August 1368.
He had estates on Lemnos, some of which were inherited by his son, Michael Synadenos Astras (died 1400), and others which were granted to the Athonite monasteries of Great Lavra, Vatopedi, and Dionysiou.
The Chemical, Paper and Ceramic Union () was a trade union representing chemical, oil refinery, paper, rubber, ceramics, glass and plastics workers in Germany.
While the German Factory Workers' Confederation, dissolved by the Nazis in 1933, was seen as the forerunner of the union, IG Chemie was established on 14 October 1948.
The third largest affiliate of the German Trade Union Confederation for much of its history, the union initially struggled with Allied attempts to limit the chemicals industry in West Germany.
However, from 1958 it began seeing wage increases for its members above the rate of inflation, and also saw major successes in health and safety.
During the 1960s, it was seen as a radical, left-wing union, but by the 1970s, it was associated with the right-wing of the union movement, and criticised for its top-down approach.
The following year, it merged with the Union of Mining and Energy and the Leather Union, to form IG Bergbau, Chemie, Energie.
Fernande de Mertens was the fifth of six children of the baron Edouard Mertens and his wife Sophie Lambertine Woelfling, and Fernande was thus a baroness herself.
The couple had a dedicated studio at the Boulevard de la Corderie in Marseille, where she taught the use of pastel – a popular technique at the time for young girls of respected background.
Although her father Edouard and his three brothers had a total of fourteen children among them, there were no grandchildren for the Mertens nobility; the last known bearer of the name and title died in 1926, not long after Fernande's own death.
The Provençal painters of the late 19th and early 20th century, favouring subjects from the Provence region, are often referred to as the Provençal School, with Fernande de Mertens being one of their few female painters.
Aside from pastel, in which she has produced primarily female portraits, she also worked with oil, producing portraits as well as genre scenes.
Starting from 1879, her paintings have been exhibited in Paris as well, including in the Paris Salon, where she has presented at least 13 paintings between 1879 and 1900, primarily portraits.
Many portraits were of Marseille locals, and known or attributed portraits include one she painted of the painter Alfred Casile, of Gabriel Fabre, and of her husband Pierre Jean.
A portrait of her mother, presented in 1882, received a gold medal at Nîmes the next year, the same year her mother died; following this, the portrait would remain in Mertens' own private possession.
In 1884, her work received an honorable mention at the Paris Salon, and between 1886 and 1897, most of her contributions have received illustrations in the Salon's catalogue.
Among others, her works are now in the collections of Musée Ziem in Martigues and Musée des Beaux-Arts as well as Musée Cantini in Marseille.

In 1962, Barbara Brown Lee searched for museum positions in New York, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Upon returning to Milwaukee, she met with Tracey Atkinson, the director of the Milwaukee Art Center, which would later become the Milwaukee Art Museum.
Barbara began to learn the collection as a curatorial assistant, until February 15, 1967 when the Head of Adult Education at the Milwaukee Art Museum, Franny Lee, died.
During her career, Barbara Brown Lee oversaw the development and implementation of educational programming that the Milwaukee Art Museum still facilitates today.
Barbara helped to start the Milwaukee Art Museum's Junior Docent School Program in 1977 in partnership with the Golda Meir School.
In 2019, this program was offered to 52 schools from third to fifth grade, and involves multiple visits to the museum during that time to train students as if they were docents or curators.
In the 1980s, Barbara Brown Lee implemented the Satellite Art Program in association with the art program for Milwaukee Public Schools.
In this program, students interested in a career in art would come to the Milwaukee Museum of Art every weekday for a semester, which was sometimes extended to a year.
Participants in the Satellite Art Program could utilize the Milwaukee Museum of Art's collection to learn skills necessary for a career in art.The program was recognized by the Getty Center for Education in the Arts as an example of Disciplinary Based Art Education.

The stable was formed at the SuperFight event on February 2, 2019 when Fatu and Samael made their MLW debut and formed their alliance with Gotch by attacking his opponent Ace Romero.
The group made its televised debut at Intimidation Games and dominated MLW roster throughout the year, becoming the top villainous group of the company.
The group cemented its dominance over MLW when Fatu won the World Heavyweight Championship at Kings of Colosseum on July 6, 2019.
In January 2019, Warbeast members Fatu and Sheik signed a contract with Major League Wrestling and MLW announced on its website that Jacob Fatu would make his MLW debut at SuperFight.
Sheik was repackaged as Josef Samael and he and Fatu made their MLW debut in a non-televised match by defeating local wrestlers Chico Adams and Kwame Nas at SuperFight.
The pair made its televised debut at Intimidation Games by attacking Tom Lawlor after he retained the MLW World Heavyweight Championship against Low Ki in a steel cage match.
Fatu entered the titular match at the Battle Riot II on April 5, where Contra poured gas on various participants, which led to them being disqualified from the match.
Later at that episode, Contra Unit attacked Low Ki as well as Tom Lawlor for the third time after Lawlor's successful title defense against Avalanche.
Lawlor enlisted the help of Ross Von Erich and Marshall Von Erich to feud with Contra Unit as the team of Lawlor and Von Erichs defeated Contra Unit in a six-man tag team match.
The feud between Lawlor and Contra Unit intensified, which set up a match between Fatu and Lawlor for the World Heavyweight Championship at Kings of Colosseum on July 6, which Fatu won, thus capturing the title and cementing Contra Unit's dominance over MLW.
The rivalry continued between Contra Unit and the team of Lawlor and Von Erichs, leading up to a War Chamber match at the namesake event.
Contra Unit would lose to Low Ki, Lawlor and Von Erichs in the titular match at War Chamber to settle the rivalry.
Contra Unit's next feud was against Salina de la Renta's stable Promociones Dorado, which began after LA Park decided to cash in his Golden Ticket opportunity by winning the Battle Riot against Jacob Fatu for the World Heavyweight Championship at MLW's first-ever pay-per-view Saturday Night SuperFight on November 2.

She met Joe Bensing, a gas station employee from Oklahoma, when she was seventeen years old and soon became pregnant with his child.
Prior to their relationship, Bensing was convicted multiple times as a child molester and kidnapper and continued to violate his probation throughout their marriage.
In 1968, her mother forced her into a mental institution due to her stress from her chaotic marriage, but she escaped soon after and never went back.
When she was twenty-two years old, she sought out a lawyer to help her get a divorce and gain custody of her two children in foster care.
She discovered the Atlanta Legal Aid Office and was introduced to an ACLU lawyer named Margie Pitts Hames when she was pregnant with her fourth child.
Other stories claim that Cano purposely went to the Atlanta Legal Aid to file for a divorce alongside an abortion on March 25, 1970, at the Grady Memorial Hospital, the only nearby hospital where impoverished people could receive free abortions.
The law stated that women who wanted an abortion needed to consult their primary doctor, two other doctors, and the hospital's committee.
It also limited abortion to residents of Georgia who had evidence of carrying deformed fetuses, health-risking pregnancies, and being victims of rape.
Cano, afraid that she would be forced to have the abortion, fled to Oklahoma until her mother and Hames assured her that she would not have to abort the child.
Hames's second claim was that the abortion law of Georgia did not have the right to override women's decisions to have an abortion.
Finally, Hames argued that Georgia's abortion law negatively impacted medical professionals and marginalized women, as abortions were only allowed to be performed in state approved hospitals.
This limited the number of hospitals women could receive abortions at, which infringed on the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Despite Hames' argument, Cano did not fully understand the events of the case, and Hames instructed Cano to only spectate the proceedings.
Cano stated feeling manipulated by Hames because she was used to be a plaintiff in a case that supported a view on abortion that she disagreed on, especially by a lawyer who was assisting her in a vulnerable stage in her life.
In 2007, she and 180 other women who had previous experiences with abortion worked alongside the Justice Foundation to file a Friend of the Court Brief at the Supreme Court in support of a federal ban on partial birth abortion.
Taking into account the women's claims on struggle after abortion, including depression and low self-esteem, the Court recognized Cano as pro-life, reversing her reputation from her case.
In 2014, Cano worked to support North Dakota's ban on abortions at the point of a noticeable heartbeat, or six weeks, by speaking to the States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
Cano was able to reconnect with her daughter, Melissa Able, in 1989, who was 19 years old with a husband and child at the time.

Musa's fief of Arzen was the capital of the district of Arzanene, which in turn was held to belong to the Jaziran sub-province of Diyar Bakr.
In common with other Arab leaders in Armenia, Musa married the sister of a Christian Armenian prince, Bagrat II Bagratuni, whose province of Taron bordered Musa's own domain of Arzanene.
His ties to the powerful Bagratuni prince certainly strengthened Musa's own position against other rivals, both Christian and Muslim, but it did not stop him from developing a certain enmity towards Bagrat and taking up arms against him.
Thus, when the Abbasid governor, Abu Sa'id Muhammad al-Marwazi, sought to reduce the power and autonomy of the Armenian princes, that had grown greatly during the previous years, he chose Musa and another local Arab lord, al-Ala ibn Ahmad al-Azdi.
The Armenian armies faced and defeated Musa near the capital of Taron, Mush, and pursued him until Baghesh, stopping only after the entreaties of Musa's wife, the sister of Bagrat.
At this time, Abu Sa'id invaded Armenia with his own army, but died on the way, and was succeeded by his son Yusuf.
The latter managed to capture Bagrat and sent him as a prisoner to the Abbasid capital Samarra, but he was later attacked and killed by the inhabitants of Khoyt in early 852.
Musa appears to have joined the Armenian uprising at some point; Bugha also accused him of having been involved in the murder of Yusuf.
In order to safeguard his domain against the Shaybanids, he allied himself closely with the Artsruni, marrying an Artsruni princess and even secretly converting to Christianity.
In he was taken prisoner by the ambitious Shaybanid ruler of Diyar Bakr, Ahmad ibn Isa al-Shaybani, who annexed the Zurarid domains.

Giovanni Michelazzi (Rome, 11 July 1879 - San Domenico di Fiesole, 22 August 1920) was an Italian architect and one of the most important exponents of the Liberty style (Art Nouveau) in Tuscany.
Born in Rome, he left the capital at an early age to move to Lucca and, later, to Florence, where he graduated in architecture in July 1901.
Michelazzi is the architect who is responsible for all the major Art Nouveau architecture in Florence, but due to Art Nouveau's extreme unpopularity in the subsequent decades, some of his buildings were demolished in the 1950s and 1960s.
Only in the last fsixty years has his work received scholarly attention, so much so now that critics have given it a prominent place in Italian architecture of the twentieth century.
His appearance as an architect on the Florentine scene dates back to 1902-03 with an intervention of initially little importance but which became highly suggestive of the future direction of his design methods in the Tuscan strand of Art Nouveau.
It consisted of the addition to a traditional villa located in the nineteenth-century Viale del Poggio Imperiale in Florence of an iron and glass canopy, a new portal, and the complete overhaul of the balcony above, adding concrete uprights that attach to the wall with soft plasticity.
With this small intervention Michelazzi clearly revealed the origins of his architectural language--that is, the French and Belgian Art Nouveau--with the delicate decorative elements emerging from a firm masonry structure.
1911 represented the peak of activity for Michelazzi with the realization of his masterpiece, the Casa-Galleria Vichi with its tall, narrow façade in the center of Florence.
It was also, however, a turning point for his aesthetic vocabulary away from Art Nouveau, as seen in the Baroncelli villa in via Duprè from 1914, and continued with the Renaissance-revival style used for the house on via Giovanni Prati in 1915.
He took his own life at just 41 years, on the night of 21–22 August 1920, in front of the Badia Fiesolana, in the San Domenico di Fiesole area, after losing custody of his child to his wife at the time of their separation.
Incidentally, the same area in January 1901 had been the site of the death of Swiss painter and graphic designer Arnold Böcklin, who had bought a villa there in 1895, which had served as an inspiration for Michelazzi himself.

He was the son of Musa ibn Zurara, the first known Zurarid lord of Arzen, and the sister of a Christian Armenian prince, Bagrat II Bagratuni, whose province of Taron bordered Musa's own domain of Arzen.
In order to safeguard his domain against the Shaybanids who dominated the district of Diyar Bakr, he allied himself closely with the other powerful Armenian dynasty, the Artsruni of Vaspurakan, marrying an Artsruni princess and even secretly converting to Christianity.
At the same time, he remained formally a subordinate of the Shaybanid ruler of Diyar Bakr, Isa ibn al-Shaykh, and had to support him in his conflicts.
Thus, when Isa was appointed as governor of Palestine in December 866, it was Abu'l-Maghra who was sent to Ramla to take over the administration as Isa's deputy.
In both Isa and Abu'l-Maghra allied with other local potentates, such as the local Kharijites under a certain Ishaq ibn Ayyub and the Taghlibi chieftain Hamdan ibn Hamdun, against the ambitions of the Turk Ishaq ibn Kundajiq, who ruled Mosul and had ambitions to govern all of the Jazira.
This coalition managed to defeat Ibn Kundajiq, but the latter's position was soon bolstered by receiving appointment by the Caliph as governor of Diyar Rabi'a and Armenia (879/80).
This time, Ibn Kundajiq was victorious in a battle fought in April/May 881, driving his opponents before him to Amid, which he left under siege.
A few inconclusive skirmishes followed, and the situation was not resolved by the time of Isa's death in 882/3, as Ibn Kundajiq became involved in the Abbasid efforts to recover Syria from the Tulunids.
In he was taken prisoner by the ambitious son of Isa ibn al-Shaykh, Ahmad, who imprisoned Abu'l-Maghra and annexed the Zurarid domains.

Joshua Atherton (1737–1809), son of Col. Peter Atherton and Experience Wright, was a lawyer and early anti-slavery campaigner in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
He returned to Lancaster in 1687, settling at Still River, Massachusetts, then part of Lancaster, where he was a farmer and tanner.
His great-grandfather James Atherton (d. 1710), arrived from England in the 1630s, and went to serve under Captain John Whiting’s Company.
His great-grandfather on his maternal line was Samuel Wardwell, a carpenter, was who was charged with witchcraft in 1692, and was hung at Witch Hill, in Andover, Massachusetts.
The law in Massachusetts required all able men to keep a firearm and volunteer in the citizen army known as the militia.
However the militia would fight alongside the British soldiers engaging the threats resulting from the French and Indian War during the mid-1700s.
He went onto serve for a number of years as a member of the General Court, where he died in Jun 13th, 1764.
He was brought up to be farmer and was expected to follow his father’s footsteps and enter the lucrative blacksmithing trade.
Instead he sought an education, he tutored younger children in order to pay towards college, running a local school in order to save for the tuition fees.
Atherton then decided to move to New Hampshire, moving to Litchfield, then settled in Merrimack where he established a law practice from 1765 to 1773.
He moved to Amherst, New Hampshire, became a farmer and was elected as the Register of Probate in Hillsborough County in 1773.
Atherton at first joined the opponents to British rule, but refused to join the local Sons of Liberty, a secret revolutionary organization created to advance the rights of the colonists and fight taxation by the British government.
As a result, he was fired from his position as register of probate and justice of the peace, and he resumed farming.
The next year, as a member of the New Hampshire state constitutional convention, he helped revise state laws, advocated for a bill of rights for citizens, and fought to settle former Loyalist land claims.
Atherton claimed it was poorly written; he insisted on a bill of rights to protect private beliefs and actions, and also defended the rights of town and state government against a too strong centralized government.
In February 1788, Atherton delivered a major speech in opposition to Article 1, Section 9, Clause 1, of the proposed constitution.
In 1791, Atherton was once again elected as justice of the peace, and was a member of the convention in Concord that drafted the new state constitution, revising the previous one of 1783.
From 1792 to 1793, he was a member of the state senate, and after his resignation in 1793 from the senate, he was elected state attorney general that same year.
After his retirement, he helped establish the Franklin Society in Amherst, a library dedicated to historical events that changed the state.
His son Charles Humphrey Atherton, was a lawyer, banker and politician from New Hampshire who served as a United States Representative from New Hampshire and as a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives during the early 1800s.
In its 22nd year under head coach Jack Parker the team compiled a 31–6–3 record and reached the NCAA tournament for the sixth consecutive season and twenty first all-time.
The Terriers defeated Maine 6–2 in the championship game at the Providence Civic Center in Providence, Rhode Island to win their fourth national championship.
Coming off of the worst championship loss in over 30 years, Jack Parker was looking for a way to help his team recover from a nightmarish end.
To make matters worse, goaltender J. P. McKersie an AHCA Second Team All-American, was hit by a car while biking that left him in a coma for 6 days.
This left a rather large void in net, but because Parker rotated his goaltenders, senior alternate captain Derek Herlofsky was well positioned to shoulder his share of the burden.
The bulk of McKersie's minutes would eventuallo go to Chicago draft pick Tom Noble who beat out Shawn Ferullo for the second spot in goal.
The forward and defensive corps were in a much more stable position as BU returned the majority of its principle players from a year before.
The Terriers also added a couple of top prospects to this mix, including Chris Drury who was already nationally famous for having led Trumbull, Connecticut to the 1989 Little League World Series Championship.
Early on, the Terriers had trouble finding consistency in their game, starting 3–1–2 through the first three weeks of the season but having allowed 7 goals against in two different games.
After a weekend against the worst team in Hockey East Massachusetts, albeit only in their second season since returning to the ice, BU was able to settle down and get themselves ready for their first tournament of the season.
At the end of November BU headed to California for the Great Western Freeze–Out, held at the home arena of the Los Angeles Kings.
The Terriers easily downed Princeton in the semifinal then pushed national powerhouse Maine into overtime but the Black Bears were the ones who prevailed.
While the loss didn't harm BU too much since it was a non-conference game, they faced Maine in a pair of road games the following weekend.
While the Terriers could only capture 3 points out of 10 in the series, both games were played very close and demonstrated that the two teams were evenly matched.
The near miss against Maine appeared to light a fire under the Terriers who utterly dominated their next two games (winning by a combined score of 21–3) before taking several weeks off for their winter break.
When the team returned to the ice at the end of December they did so in Minneapolis for the Mariucci Classic.
At the beginning of 1995 BU was 16 points behind Maine, however, because Hockey East had altered its point system beginning with 1994–95 (5 points for a win, 2 points for a tie and an additional point for a shootout win after overtime) they were only about 3 games behind the Black Bears with 3 games in hand.
This meant that despite going 0–1–2 against Maine in their head-to-head matchups the Terriers could still keep even with the conference leaders as long as they took care of business.
The Terriers were able to capture their 18th title after dropping a weak Boston College team in the championship, but the time off had allowed Maine to build a 15-point lead in the Hockey East standings.
Ill-equipped to afford a mistake the Terriers laid an egg in against Providence, losing 1–8 in their worst performance of the season.
BU recovered to win the rematch but that left Maine with a 10-point lead in the standings and both teams had three games to play.
Fortunately for the Terriers their remaining games came against two of the worst teams in Hockey East while the Black Bears faced much stiffer competition.
BU swept their final three games while Maine lost twice and the two teams ended in a tie for 1st in the conference standings.
Because Maine had the tie-breaker due to the head-to-head meetings, BU received the 2nd seed and played Merrimack in the quarterfinals.
The Terriers took care of Massachusetts–Lowell to reach the Championship where they were surprised to find 6th-seeded Providence as their opponent.
The Friars proved up to the task and played the Terriers hard but BU held firm and won the game 3–2 to win their second consecutive conference tournament.
After a week off the Terriers faced defending national champion Lake Superior State and were able to exact their revenge with a 6–2 victory.
The score may have been different but the result was the same as Boston University defeated the Golden Gophers 7–3 to return to the national championship game.
The Terriers faced Maine on April Fools Day and though the Black Bears had yet to lose to BU that year they were coming off of a 3 overtime epic against Michigan (then the longest game in NCAA Tournament history).
Despite this Maine was able to control the balance of play early, outshooting the Terriers early but on a faceoff in the Black Bear end on the Power Play, Steve Thornton was able to tap the puck through Brad Purdie's skates and fire home the first goal of the game.
After that Maine netminder Blair Allison had to face a barrage by the BU offense that saw him face 21 shots over the next 25 minutes (compared to Maine's 6).
The Terriers would score twice more to build a 3-goal lead midway through the game but the Black Bears were able to get on the scoresheet before the end of the second.
Maine closed the lead to one just 31 seconds into the final frame but BU continued to apply pressure to Allison and scored twice more before capping off the game with a third power play goal to win their fourth national championship.
The two-goal game from Chris O'Sullivan earned him the Tournament MOP and was joined on the All-Tournament Team by Kaj Linna and Shawn Bates.
Bateman caught 56 passes for 825 yards and five touchdowns in his junior season and committed to play college football at the University of Minnesota the following summer upon receiving a scholarship offer from the school.

In 1865, Yoshida was sent with Sameshima Naonobu and seventeen other samurai from Satsuma Domain to England to study Western science and technology.
During 1867, Yoshida and Sameshima travelled with two others to the United States and joined the Brotherhood of the New Life, Thomas Lake Harris's Christian spiritual group.
When they returned to England later that year, they claimed to have felt the presence of God through Harris' preaching in New York.
In 1879, he arranged the visit of Ulysses S. Grant and his wife Julia Grant to Japan, and secured the return of funds from the United States Congress.

The damage was valued at around 100,000 euros, with damage affecting changing rooms, laundry, snack bar, medical station and club cars.
Having felt a calling to be a teacher for some years, after the death of her mother who she nursed in her last years Corder embarked on that course, teaching at Suir Island School, later known as the Clonmel School, a Quaker establishment in Ireland.
The school had been set up by Sarah Tuke Grubb (1756–1790) and her husband Robert, who travelled extensively in Europe as missionaries.
On returning to England in 1824 and with the assistance of the Quaker scientist and abolitionist William Allen and his third wife Grizell (1757–1835) Corder opened Newington Academy for Girls in Fleetwood House in Stoke Newington, the organisation of which she based on the school in Ireland she had recently left.
Corder was the headmistress of the new school, other founders of which included Anna Hanbury, mother of Sir Thomas Buxton, 1st Baronet, Luke Howard, pharmacist and metereologist, Edward Harris, father-in-law of Alfred Tylor, and Samuel Gurney, banker.
She herself wore traditional Quaker dress and adopted this as the uniform for the girls in her school who had to wear Quaker bonnets among other items of dress, leading to much mockery from the girls at a nearby school.
Nor were the girls’ spiritual needs forgotten as they were obliged to attend regular readings from the Scriptures and attend talks on religion given by William Allen and Sarah Tuke Grubb.
As such in 1836 she was among the co-signatories of a warning letter to John Wilkinson who had caused a schism among the local Quaker community and in which he was entreated to be silent in their meetings.
Corder retired sometime between 1840 to 1845 with the closure of Newington Academy for Girls and moved to Chelmsford where she spent her last years.
Many of the subjects of the book were little known; one was her own pupil Ann Backhouse, who had died at the age of nineteen.
Corder's decision to concentrate on the spiritual lives of her subjects rather than on their careers enabled her to maintain a roughly equal balance of male and female subjects - 27 men and 20 women.
Corder wrote an 1853 biography about (and drawing largely on the diaries of) the prison reformer Elizabeth Fry, whom she knew well enough to accompany when the prison reformer escorted the King of Prussia to see the conditions at Newgate in 1842.
Susanna Corder died on 28 February 1864 at her home in Chelmsford and was buried in the town on 3 March.

She is the niece of the Sindhi poet and columnist Aijaz Mangi, who is outspoken about feminism, politics, and human rights and deeply critical of atrocities in society.
Mangi and her male friend Haris Soomro were out in the evening getting food from a restaurant on November 30 around 8 pm.
When Soomro attempted to fight back and protect Mangi he was shot by at least one of the men in the neck and the bullet traveled into his chest.
The Karachi Police have released a statement in which they believe the abduction occurred because Mangi had met a man in the United States and had been pressuring her to marry him and had threatened her.
Officials used CCTV footage to attempt to identify the attackers, and have impounded the car they believe to be a part of the crime.
News of her abduction was posted on social media by family and friends, creating a heated debate over victim blaming and whether the perpetrators were actually justified over abducting her due to her actions online and her clothing.
All this activism attracted public's attention, who not only supported the return of Dua but also resolve of such a case threatening peace and security of youth in the urban.
With Dua's mysterious return, it was speculated and later confessed by family after much lying that they paid ransom but their silence on the matter and not co-operating with the authorities from beginning was an act of civil disobedience warranting litigation, in lieu of the fact that they didn't even file FIR, which was instead filed by father of Haris Soomro who was fighting for his life.
With protection from civil society by virtue of Dua's father, a surgeon, the uncle with connections in press, and her own influence in liberal circles connecting to far-left political activists, Dua and her family found refuge from due probe and consequent litigation potentially leading to 2nd degree murder charges.
Craniocervical instability is a medical condition where there is excessive laxity of the ligaments at the atlanto-occipital joint and the atlanto-axial joint, between the skull and the top two vertebrae (C1 and C2).
This results in excessive movement of the vertebrae which can cause neuronal injury and compression of nearby structures including the spinal cord, vertebral artery or vagus nerve, causing a constellation of symptoms.
Upright magnetic resonance imaging is considered the most accurate method, and supine magnetic resonance imaging, CT scan or digital motion X-ray are also used.
Alternatively, craniocervical instability can be diagnosed if a trial of cervical traction, typically using a halo fixation device, results in a significant alleviation of symptoms.

Mount Bayard is a glaciated mountain located in the Boundary Ranges on the international boundary line of Alaska and British Columbia.
It is situated north-northwest of Stewart, southeast of Mount White-Fraser, and east of Mount Lindeborg, which is its nearest higher peak.
Precipitation runoff from the peak and meltwater from the Boundary and Salmon Glaciers that surround the peak drains into the Salmon River.
Mount Lindeborg was the name adopted for this feature in 1921, however by 1924 it was renamed Mount Bayard in lieu of Lindeborg.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Bayard is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.
She won a silver medal as skip of the Scottish women's team at the 2015 World Junior Curling Championships and has competed in the World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship five times.
In back-to-back years, 2014 and 2015, Aitken skipped her team to victory at the Scottish Junior Championships, with teammates Naomi Brown, Rowena Kerr, and Rachel Hannen.
In the page playoffs Team Scotland defeated the number one seeded Canada in the 1 vs. 2 game and Sweden in the semifinals, thus setting up a rematch with Team Canada in the final.
Earlier in the 2014/2015 season Aitken and her Juniors team also won bronze at the Scottish Women's Curling Championship, Aitken's best finish at that championship.
Each Scottish title earned Aitken the right to represent Scotland at the World Mixed Doubles Championship, with her best finish being 4th at the 2016 Championship where they lost to the United States team of Joe Polo and Tabitha Peterson in the bronze medal match.
Unfortunately Andrews became injured shortly before the Scottish Mixed Doubles Championship but Duncan Menzies filled in for Andrews and together they still got Aitken her fifth Championship.
Andrews was healed in time for World's where they finished tied for 9th place, losing to Team Estonia in the first round of the playoffs.
Aitken started curling when she was only seven years old and comes from a curling family: her father David won the 1986 World Juniors, her mother Morna has competed at two World Senior Curling Championships, her sister Karina was the alternate for Aitken's silver medal winning 2015 World Juniors team, and her sister Tasha has also competed at World Juniors.

oneAPI is a cross-industry initiative for an open, standards-based unified programming model that creates a common developer experience across compute accelerator architectures.
Its objective is to deliver an efficient, performant programming model that eliminates the need for developers to maintain separate code bases, multiple programming languages, and different tools and workflows for each architecture.
The oneAPI specification extends existing developer programming models to enable a diverse set of hardware through a data-parallel language, a set of library APIs, and a low-level hardware interface to support cross-architecture programming.
DPC++ extends these standards with explicit parallel constructs like sub-groups and unified shared memory offload interfaces to support a broad range of computing architectures and processors, including CPUs and accelerators.
The set of APIs spans several domains that benefit from acceleration, including an interface for deep learning; general libraries for linear algebra math, video, and media processing; and others.
oneAPI Level Zero, the low-level hardware interface, defines a set of capabilities and services that a hardware accelerator needs to interface with the broad set of languages in support of consumer to Deep/Machine Learning and HPC class solutions.
Codeplay is working on a to-be-open-source layer to allow oneAPI and SYCL / Data Parallel C++ to run atop Nvidia GPUs via CUDA.

Astragalus arenarius, the sand milk-vetch or sand milkvetch, is a species of milkvetch mostly found in Central and Eastern Europe, with populations in Russia stretching perhaps as far as the Urals, and a few instances in Sweden, Finland, and perhaps Denmark.
It can be distinguished from its congeners by its having leaflets grouped in 2 to 6 pairs, 2 to 4mm wide by 10 to 20mm long; calyces that are characterized by having mostly strongly asymmetric bifurcate hairs; a standard (the large posterior petal seen in legume flowers) 15 to 17mm long; and legumes that 12 to 20 mmlong.
As the specific name implies it grows in sandy or gravelly areas, in places that have limited competition from grasses, such as sandy open pine woodlands, dunes, river banks, roadsides and railway embankments.
In spring 2003, entrepreneur Lee Jin-wook () was waiting in the lobby of a dermatology clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, as he observed a group of young women enthused by a product on display, which was BB cream.
He began to research the product closely, and later left his post at an architectural firm to focus on his venture.
Dr. Jung Sung-jae () had been working out of his own Seoul practice since 2001, where he was constantly testing new treatments for his patients with severe skin issues.
Lee approached him to invest and consult on Dr. Jart+, with the intent to bring Jung's formulations to a wider audience.
Its revenue in 2005 only amounted to 500 million won, but began to increase through word-of-mouth on online retailer SkinRx Lab.
The brand partnered with Japanese department store Takashimaya in June 2009 to offer their products at its now-defunct Fifth Avenue location, which effectively made Dr. Jart+ the first Korean brand since Amorepacific to have a presence in New York.
Dr. Jart+'s branding and packaging was refreshed by design firm Pentagram in 2018, starting with the international roll-out of their newly-created Ceramidin line.
Dr. Jart+ has been the exclusive skin care sponsor of designer brand Opening Ceremony at New York Fashion Week since 2015.
The system was initially identified as a cataclysmic variable on the basis of weak H-alpha emissions in the spectrum by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).
Dusty and gaseous debris disks around white dwarfs are known, but they are dominated by Calcium lines and no previous disk around a white dwarf showed Hα emission.
The disk around the white dwarf is too large (~1-10 solar radii) to be formed by a small minor planet, which was tidally disrupted inside the Roche Radius.
The planet is likely located at a distance of 15 solar radii from the white dwarf and orbits the white dwarf in 10 days.
The team estimated that the planet around WD J0914+1914 will lose about 0.04 Neptune masses and thus this process will not significantly change the structure of the planet.
The 1948 Wilberforce State Green Wave football team was an American football team that represented Wilberforce State University in the Midwest Athletic Association (MAA) during the 1948 college football season.

Douglas Lane runs a distance of around 350 ft between and perpendicular to Des Voeux Road Central and Queen's Road Central.
Sepik virus is much less well known and has not been as well-classified as other viruses because it has not been known of for very long.
Arboviruses are a continuing threat to public health in Papua New Guinea especially because of lack of surveillance and reporting, so much of the prevalence of disease due to these viruses are unknown in that area.
Arboviruses cause outbreaks when the virus that infects an endemic population spreads through a vector like mosquitoes or ticks to humans.
In the known vector clade, there is a mosquito group and a tick group, which diverged early in the phylogeny and do not have much overlap, ecologically.
The mosquito group is further divided into the types of diseases the virus causes, like neurotropic viruses and hemorrhagic disease viruses.
Sepik virus is classified as a hemorrhagic disease virus because it is in the Yellow fever group, as it is most closely related to Yellow Fever virus.
However, Sepik virus does not have the same pathogenicity or virulence as Yellow Fever virus, as it is not known to cause hemorrhagic fever, but rather a febrile illness.
The virus particle contains three major structural proteins; there are two membrane-associated proteins, the envelope protein (E) and membrane protein (M).
The virus also has a capsid protein (C) that protects the genome from the environment, which could cause the genome to dry out or become degraded.
The capsid is mainly protein, but 17% of the capsid are lipids by weight, which were derived from the host cell membrane; the capsid is also about 9% carbohydrate by weight in the form of glycolipids and glycoproteins.
The genome for Sepik virus is a non-segmented, single stranded, positive sense RNA molecule that is about 10.79 kilobases in length.
The genome consists of a short non-coding region at the 5’ end, a single long open reading frame (ORF) that contains the genes for all the genes the virus produces, and a non-coding region at the 3’ end and the genome does not have a poly-A tail typically seen at the end of mRNA molecules.
The genome serves as both genomic data and as mRNA, encoding 3 structural proteins necessary for the virion and 8 non-structural proteins necessary for replication.
The genome also contains a type I cap and a conserved stem loop at the 5’ end, labeled as m7GpppAmp, that is not seen in viruses in other families or genera.
The envelope protein binds to the host cell receptor which then signals to the cell to bring the virus inside using endocytosis.
The envelope protein then helps the viral envelope fuse to the host cell membrane in order to release the viral capsid into the cell.
Replication usually occurs in membrane invaginations to shield the replicating genome from host defenses like RNA interference, because single stranded positive RNA viruses replicate through a double stranded RNA intermediate..
The genome also functions as mRNA and the virus uses the host cell’s machinery to translate one long polyprotein containing both the structural and non-structural proteins.
This one long polyprotein is later cleaved into the capsid, envelope and membrane protein, and also proteins that are not assembled into the virion, which are denoted as non-structural proteins.
NS3 has enzymatic activity as a helicase and protease, while NS5 is an RNA dependent RNA polymerase, allowing the virus to replicate a new (+)RNA genome by creating a complementary (-)RNA strand and using that as a template for the genome.
The other non-structural proteins function in RNA replication, viral assembly and release, processing the viral polyprotein and inhibiting the host’s innate immunity, like inhibiting interferon signaling.
Therefore, assembly of the virion likely consists of the capsid protein (C) and the genomic RNA becoming aggregated and condensed, with the capsid protein acting as a charge neutralizer for the RNA, to eventually form a small particle that does not have any contact with the envelope.
Virions are released by budding of the capsid protein and the RNA into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane to form a lipid envelope that are sporadically ingrained with glycoproteins, like the envelope (E) glycoprotein that is used for entry into the next host cell.
Some arboviruses can be maintained in a population with minimal input from the reservoir, meaning the vector can use infected humans as a source of the virus to spread to new, susceptible people..
This means that the host reservoir is the only known source of Sepik virus, but the host reservoir is unknown at this time.
However, Sepik virus is only known to cause a non-severe febrile fever and not hemorrhagic fever like the more well classified viruses.
Fever as a result of Sepik virus infection has only been seen in Papua New Guinea and has remained isolated from the rest of the world.
However, reporting and surveillance for this fever is lacking, so spread of the vector and Sepik virus fever may have begun to spread outside its normal range, and no notice has been taken.
Arboviruses, mainly highly pathogenic ones like Yellow Fever virus or Dengue virus, are important emerging pathogens in many tropical and developing countries because of the high prevalence of the viral vector and many countries have poor sanitation and do not have vector control methods.
It is important to note that the known geographic regions many arboviruses are currently found are not concrete, as changing global temperatures contribute to the widening of vector habitat, as many arboviruses that have been limited to tropical zones are now seen further into the temperate zones as the vector, mainly mosquitoes, moves into new areas and can infect naïve populations.

In 2019, Sunami's work was chosen to represent Columbus at the National Theatre in Columbus' sister city Accra, Ghana, she was one of the Columbus representatives to the 13th Annual Havana Biennial in Cuba (2019) through the ConnectArt project, and she was selected as one of the Top 10 Local Artists of the year by Columbus Underground.
She received a Jurors Choice award as a participant in the Greater Columbus Arts Council and Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District CAP-UP Artist Grant in 2012.
Sunami's father-in-law John Sunami has several public art installations in the Columbus area, and was an early pioneer of digital art.
His father, Soichi Sunami, was a noted Pictorialist photographer best known for his extended artistic collaboration with modern dance icon Martha Graham.
Sunami, John and Soichi were all featured in a 2018 family exhibition at the Cultural Arts Center, that also included art from sister-in-law Jennifer Sunami, son River Sunami, and music composed by husband, Christopher Sunami.
The style is a synthesis of abstraction and realism, where a more realist face, typically of an African or an African-American woman, is combined with a more abstract depiction of hair or clothing as a way of adding a psychological dimension to the portrait.
Sunami has been working almost exclusively in this style since 2006, and in more recent years, has enhanced the abstract portions of her work with mixed-media collages that tie her work back to the earlier Columbus-centered, female African-American mixed-media art movement sparked by Robinson.
Sunami has contributed to collaborative works by Creative Arts of Women and Mother Artists at Work, and done individual collaborations with visual artists Stephanie Rond, Queen Brooks and Lisa McLymont; and poets Naki Akrobettoe, Caroline Bennett, Dionne Custer Edwards, Barbara Fant and Katerina Harris, among others.

The Albany-Fraser orogeny was an orogenic event which created the Albany-Fraser Orogen in what is now Australia between 2.63 and 1.16 billion years ago, during the late Archean and Proterozoic.
Tectonic history developed from isotope dating suggests that the orogeny occurred as the combined North Australia Craton-West Australia Craton collided with the East Antarctic-South Australian Craton.
The Kepa Kurl Booya Province, including its component zones, the Fraser Zone, Nornalup Zone and Biranup Zone represents the crystalline basement of the orogen.
For example, in 2011 geochronology dating of 1.71 to 1.65 billion year old granite and gabbro intrusions in the Biranup Zone suggested craton margin rocks rather than a previously interrupted small terrane wedged against the Yilgarn Craton.
In other cases, researchers attempting to reconstruct the supercontinent Rodinia suggested a possible connection between Australia-Antarctica and the proto-North American continent Laurentia (the SWEAT and AUSWUS hypotheses), but in 2003 paleomagnetic data from the Albany-Fraser orogeny suggested that Australia and Laurentia were at different latitudes.
Taveras became the first Hispanic mayor of the city and the third elected and fourth serving Dominican-American mayor in the United States.
Incumbent David Cicilline did not seek reelection, instead opting to run in the coinciding election for Rhode Island's 1st congressional district.
Cicilline was eligible to seek reelection to a third consecutive term as mayor, as term limits passed in 2006 (which limited mayors to two consecutive terms) would not go into effect until the following year.
The song was released on 8 November, 2019 and is is an ode to getting to that comfortable stage in a relationship when you can let your guard down and stop worrying about trying to impress your love interest.

This was the highest rank of the Chinese officership, a branch of the civil bureaucracy through which the Dutch governed their Chinese subjects in the Indies.
Tan was born in Semarang, Central Java into what was then the city's most powerful Chinese dynasty, the Tan family of Semarang.
Her father, Tan Hong Yan, served as the second Majoor der Chinezen of Semarang from 1836 until 1851 in succession to her grandfather, Tan Tiang Tjhing (1770–1833).
In 1811, the latter was appointed the first Majoor der Chinezen of Semarang and, in fact, the whole of the Dutch East Indies.
She was married to Be Biauw Tjoan, Majoor-titulair der Chinezen (1826–1904), son of the tycoon Majoor-titulair Be Ing Tjioe (1803–1857), part of the Be family of Bagelen.
Her husband's family had risen up socially and economically through their association with her family, an alliance that was sealed by their marriage.
The only child of her marriage to Majoor-titulair Be Biauw Tjoan, Be Tiong Khing, was married to Liem Liong Hien, who succeeded his in-laws as Majoor of Semarang from 1885 until 1904.

The air task group deployed to Al Minhad Air Base in the United Arab Emirates as part of the coalition to combat Islamic State forces in Iraq.
Consisting of 400 RAAF personnel and eight aircraft, it was the largest air task group to deploy from Australia since the Vietnam War.
Under Roberton's command, Air Task Group 630 conducted airstrikes, flew in support of Iraqi and Kurdish ground forces, and assisted in freeing Yezidi people trapped in the Sinjar Mountains.
Roberton handed over command of the air task group to Air Commodore Glen Braz on 5 January 2015, by which time the Australian aircraft were flying approximately 13 percent of coalition airstrikes in Iraq.
Roberton was appointed commander Air Combat Group at RAAF Base Williamtown in January 2015, with responsibility for the administration of the RAAF's fast-jet combat aircraft and command of Australia's air combat operations.
Following promotion to air vice marshal, he succeeded Air Vice Marshal Gavin Turnbull as Air Commander Australia—responsible for the operational capability of the RAAF—on 1 May 2017.
Incumbent Republican Governor Eben S. Draper was defeated for re-election to a third term by former Republican Eugene Foss, running as a Democrat.
The Capricorn orogeny was an orogenic event in what is now Western Australia, following the collision of the Pilbara Craton and the Glenburgh Terrane with the Yilgarn Craton during the Glenburgh orogeny.
The Leake Springs Metamorphics are a group of siliclastic metasedimentary rocks covering the northern two-thirds of the Gascoyne Province and grading into low-grade metasedimentary rocks of the Wyloo Group in the north.
During the Capricorn orogeny, these rocks were intruded by the tonalite, monzogranite, quartz diorite and syenogranite of the Moorarie Supersuite (including the Minnie Creek batholith).
Throughout the orogeny, numerous phases of metamorphism took place, such as the reworking of older Archean granite and gneiss in the Paradise Zone and Mooloo Zone between 1.805 and 1.80 billion years ago.
During a second phase, the Yarlarwheelor Gneiss Complex and Errabiddy Shear Zone saw reactivation of faults and the transformation of psammite schist to chlorite-sericite schist.
The Court of Drapery, whose origins go back to the 12th century, was above all a judicial court and a chamber of commerce which was originally intended to regulate the trade and manufacture of sheets and to check their quality.
Until the revolution of 1421 they were all chosen among the Seven Noble Houses of Brussels and after, one Dean and four of The Eight were chosen from among the Guilds.
While most of the judges who belonged to this tribunal had nothing to do with the trade of clothiers, they were, indeed, chosen among the Noble Houses, not able to exercise any profession or trade, and among the members of the Guilds belonging to various corporations.
The 2019–20 Grambling State Tigers men's basketball team represent Grambling State University in the 2019–20 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.
The Tigers, led by 3rd-year head coach Donte Jackson, play their home games at the Fredrick C. Hobdy Assembly Center in Grambling, Louisiana as members of the Southwestern Athletic Conference.
It forms the watershed between the Bang Pakong River basin to its north and several short rivers draining into the Gulf of Thailand.
The Chanthaburi Range forms a westward continuation of the Banthat Range (the section of the Cardamom Mountains forming the boundary between Thailand and Cambodia), and part of it is often considered the northwesternmost extension of the Cardamom Range itself.
The main Chanthaburi Range forms part of the provincial boundaries between the in-land Chachoengsao and Sa Kaeo provinces to the north and the coastal Chon Buri and Chanthaburi provinces to the south.
It is also considered to include three sub-ranges extending southward: the first in Chon Buri Province, including the peaks Khao Khiao and Khao Chomphu; the second forming part of the boundary between Chon Buri and Rayong provinces; and the third forming the boundary between Rayong and Chanthaburi provinces, including the peaks Khao Chamao and Khao Wong.
Igneous rock in the form of granite is extensively found in the composition of the main range, especially in the area of the two highest peaks.
The mountains feature several forested areas protected by several national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, collectively known as the Eastern Forest Complex.
These include (in decreasing order of area): Khao Ang Rue Nai Wildlife Sanctuary, Khao Soi Dao Wildlife Sanctuary, Khao Khiao–Khao Chomphu Wildlife Sanctuary, Khao Sip Ha Chan National Park, Khao Chamao–Khao Wong National Park, and Khao Khitchakut National Park.
The Mangaroon orogeny was an orogenic event in what is now Western Australia between 1.68 and 1.62 billion years ago in the Proterozoic, preserved in the rocks of the large Gascoyne Province.
During the Mangaroon orogeny, huge volumes of granite belonging to the Durlacher Supersuite intruded rocks in the Mangaroon Zone as high-grade metamorphism and deformation occurred.
Like the Capricorn orogeny, the Mangaroon orogeny is interpreted as an intracontinental deformation event due to distant collisions at the edges of the continent rather than an ocean-closing event.
A statue of William Ellery Channing is installed near the intersection of Boylston and Arlington in Boston Public Garden, in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.
He served as the head football coach, athletic director, and head men's basketball coach at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri during the 1909-1910 academic year.
The Musgrave orogeny was one of three Mesoproterozoic orogenic events affecting the Musgrave Province in Central Australia between 1.22 and 1.12 billion years ago.
Thomas R. Frey (April 3, 1936 – February 11, 2017) was an American politician who served in the New York State Assembly from the 132nd district from 1973 to 1978 and as the County Executive of Monroe County from 1987 to 1991.
The Kararan orogeny was an orogenic event in the Gawler Craton of Western Australia during the Proterozoic between 1.57 and 1.55 billion years ago which reworked rocks metamorphosed during the Kimban orogeny.
The song was first revealed in October 2019, although Stefani's contributions remained a secret until a week prior to the song's release.
It also reached the top spot on the Digital Songs chart, becoming the second and third number one entry for Shelton and Stefani, respectively.
It serves as a glimpse of the couple's day-to-day life, featuring scenes of them cuddling, eating food at a diner, and visiting the construction site of Shelton's Oklahoma ranch.
He told her that he had a song he needed to get to me and sent it to her first and she sent it on to me.
The song was first teased by Shelton on his Instagram account, where he posted a snippet of the song the day before its scheduled premiere.
Over a month later, it was announced that the song would be released to country music radio stations on January 21, 2020.
Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic described the single as a power ballad and felt the song displayed Shelton's sweeter side, in contrast to the album's first two singles.
The key of the song is in C major, with the pair's vocal range spanning an entire octave, from C to G in scientific pitch notation.
In Australia, the single did not reach the ARIA Singles Chart, but instead entered the country's official digital tracks chart at number 36.
To coincide with the song's official distribution to radio playlists, the two revealed the music video's release date to be January 21, 2020; both singers uploaded teaser clips and pictures to their Instagram accounts in the days leading up to the event.
Footage of Stefani in the same setting is shown, with her rising from the ground as leaves fall from the trees surrounding her.
Later scenes feature Shelton and Stefani cuddling on a couch with Betty, enjoying a meal at a diner, and performing the song live in formal attire.
Additional clips of the two, filmed in a home video style, show them driving in a truck in front of a green screen.
She was arrested for insulting the president for a letter she wrote to Cevdet Sunay, and served eight months in prison.
Ingo Plag (born August 2, 1962) is a German linguist and Professor of English Language and Linguistics at the Heinrich-Heine-Universitat, Dusseldorf.
The Mazatzal orogeny was an orogeny in what is now the Southwestern United States between 1.7 and 1.63 billion years ago in the Proterozoic.
Rocks deformed during the orogeny span central Arizona, New Mexico, and southern Colorado, with additional areas in southern Wyoming found in 2015.
Named after the Mazatzal Group in the Mazatzal Mountains of Arizona, the orogeny produced a large number of northwest-vergent folds and thrust faults.
After its recognition in the 1980s, the Mazatzal orogeny was interpreted as the collision and juxtaposition of the Yavapai and Mazatzal island arc terranes with shear zones representing sutures.
The Yavapai orogeny was an orogenic event in what is now the Southwestern United States around 1.7 billion years ago in the Proterozoic.
Preserved in the rocks of New Mexico and Arizona, it is interpreted as the collision of the Yavapai island-arc terrane with the proto-North American continent.
He served as the head football coach at Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 1942 and Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania from 1943 to 1945, compiling a career college football coaching record of 15–12–2.
When Moravian shut down sports during World War II, Wolfson took the head coaching job at Lafayette College, which he held for three seasons, from 1943 to 1945.
The Picuris orogeny was an orogenic event in what is now the Southwestern United States between 1.5 and 1.4 billion years ago in the Mesoproterozoic.
The event is named for the Picuris Mountains in northern New Mexico and interpreted as the suturing of the Mazatzal island-arc terrane (also referred to as the Mazatzal crustal province) onto southern margin of the proto-North American continent Laurentia.
Ross merges a broad range of art historical and scientific references into fragmentary constructions that combine figures, objects, and spaces with a nod to the metaphoric associations they elicit.
For instance, in a 2017 show at False Flag Projects, Ross embedded portraits of Neil DeGrasse Tyson into the faces of flowers populating one of his sculptures, adorning representations of the natural world with the likeness of a public figure who explains the fundamental laws governing nature to a popular audience.

The Unknown Hitman: The Story of El Cholo Adrián () or simply El desconocido, is a Mexican crime drama television series produced and broadcast by Cine Latino, along to Plus Entertainment.
The first season that consists of five episodes premiered on 27 July 2017 on Cine Latino, and aired every Sunday at 11:00 p.m.
It also tells about the murder of beauty queen Susana Flores, winner of the Miss Sinaloa contest in 2012, and also makes references to the meetings of actress Kate del Castillo with El Chapo.
While the first season was inspired by the lives of El Cholo, El Chapo and the Sinaloa cartel, the second season is totally fictional, although it is inspired by the daily reality that thousands of people live through the drug trafficking business.
The main concept of this show was celebrities lending their hands to the people who are facing turmoil in their lives inorder to help them.
The celebrities who are part of Telugu film industry turn themselves into concept of being common men and women among the society inorder to help the people who are facing turmoil in their lives.
The celebrities help the needy people by earning money through the course of the show and bring confidence to the people by giving those money.
He is an early contributor to research on patient-reported outcomes after treatment for various conditions including benign prostate disease, benign uterine conditions and prostate cancer.
Fowler was the founding Director of the Center for Survey Research at the University of Massachusetts Boston in 1971, where he served as director for 14 years.
While at Michigan, he spent four years at the Survey Research Center working with Charles Cannell on a series of studies of error in the National Health Interview Survey.
In 1965, Fowler came to work with Morris Axelrod, who was creating a survey organization in Boston to carry out a survey of the Greater Boston Jewish community.
In 1968, when that study was completed, the new survey organization moved to The Joint Center for Urban Studies of Harvard and MIT.
The center was funded entirely by grants and contracts to the Center staff and by collaborative projects with researchers from other New England universities.
Fowler worked on a wide range of projects, including studies of community crime prevention, gambling law enforcement, race relations and housing.
In 2002, he retired from the Center for Survey Research, though he continued to have a part-time relationship there, and became President of the Foundation for Informed Medical Decision Making, which he helped in founding in the late 1980s.
While there, in addition to overseeing the Foundation's work in organizing clinical evidence as part of the creation of decision aids with its partner, Health Dialog, he also oversaw the creation of a program of research on how best to communicate health information to patients, how best to support patients making decisions, and how to integrate shared decision making and the use of decision aids into routine medical care.
Fowler was interviewed as part of the AAPOR Heritage Interview Series that aims to preserve knowledge about the founding of the public opinion research profession and the development of new ideas that have had a lasting effect on the work done in his field.
Another major study with Charles Cannell explored the potential of coding the interaction between interviewers and respondents in pretest interviews as a way of evaluating survey questions.
In graduate school at Michigan, he was a co-author on several reports about the sources of error in the Health Interview Survey.
Wennberg had observed wide variations in the rates at which medical services were delivered in adjacent communities in Northern New England.
Wennberg thought the differences were driven by differences in physician decision making, but critics thought all the differences had to be due to differences in the people living in the communities.
Fowler and Wennberg did a survey study of residents of 6 communities that differed widely in the rates at which they received health care.
The study showed that the patient characteristics could not account for the differences in care: the populations were all virtually the same with respect to health status, access to care and how well their medical needs were being met.
The most influential of these was a study of patients in Maine who were surgically treated for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), which causes problems with urination as men age.
Fowler and his colleagues applied survey methods in new ways to assess the extent to which men benefitted from surgical treatment.
While they found many patients had their symptoms improved, their most important finding was that men differed greatly in the extent to which the same level of symptoms bothered them and how they felt about the side effects of surgery.
This work lay the foundation for their work on the importance of informing and involving patients in treatment decisions so that they could play a meaningful role in deciding what was best for them as individuals.
Among the most enduring and widely used products of the work on BPH was the development of the American Urological Association Symptom Index.
Fowler also applied the measurement approaches used in the study of BPH to the treatment of other medical conditions including benign uterine conditions, AIDS and prostate cancer.
Among these studies a particularly important result was the finding from a national survey of Medicare patients who had had surgery for prostate cancer with complications, which include urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction, were occurring at much higher rates than had previously been thought.
In his work with the Foundation for Informed Medical Decision Making, Fowler initiated three national surveys to take a look at how medical decisions were actually being made by representative samples of patients.
The first such survey was conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan; the second was done in collaboration with researchers at Dartmouth Medical School; and the third by researchers at the Foundation for Informed Medical Decision Making.
The surveys, taken together, showed the gaps in how well patients understood issues relevant to decisions about their treatments and how little they were involved in making many of those decisions.
In the late 1960s, the Urban Observatory Program undertook a survey project to collect comparable data about citizen’s views of their city services and functioning of the governments in ten major American cities.
In the late 1970s, there was an experimental effort in the City of Hartford to see if changing the physical environment of an urban neighborhood could help reduce crime and fear.
Basilio Cascella (Pescara, 1 October 1860 - Rome, 24 July 1950) was an Italian artist, active from the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century.
Instead, in April 1875, he went to Rome and was hired as an apprentice at lithography in the Luigi Salomone printing plant.
In 1879, he settled in Naples and came into contact with many other artists, including Domenico Morelli and Francesco Paolo Michetti.
He exhibited some works at the National Artistic Exhibion of Turin in 1884 and at the Art Exhibition of Venice in 1887 (together with artists such as Giovanni Segantini, John Singer Sargent, Giacomo Grosso, Cesare Tallone, Antonio Mancini, and Federico Bernagozzi).
Back in his hometown, Cascella resumed relations with Michetti and became part of the , frequented, at the time, by Gabriele D'Annunzio, Francesco Paolo Tosti, Costantino Barbella and other well-known Abruzzese artists, writers and men of culture .
On 30 January 1895, the city council of the city deliberated the transfer of land to allow Cascella to build a lithographic and painting studio.
Luigi Pirandello, Umberto Saba, Gennaro Finamore, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Sibilla Aleramo, Matilde Serao, Grazia Deledda, Ada Negri, Guido Gozzano, and Giovanni Pascoli all contributed to the magazines.
On 24 March 1929 he was elected deputy for the XXVIII legislature of the Kingdom of Italy, a position he held until 1934.
He was present at various exhibitions including the Rome Quadriennale of 1931, the Fourth Exhibition of the Fascist Provincial Union of Fine Arts of Abruzzo and Molise in Campobasso in 1937.
When Cascella was stationed in the military at Pavia in 1880, he met Metardo Rosso and Vincenzo Irolli, and started painting.
The work is kept in the Pinacoteca Cascella di Ortona in the Palazzo Farnese and subsequently appeared at the Exposition of the Society of Fine Arts of Rome.
The magazine took advantage of the collaboration of Italian and foreign artists, in the first year it was anti-D'Annunzio and anti-Futurist, as far as literature was concerned, and it was also anti-impressionist for the artistic field.
The entry of Italy into war overturned the magazine's thematic approach: interventionist, he included among his collaborators Sivilla Aleramo, his sons Michele and Tommaso, then the writings of Luigi Pirandello, Guido Gozzano, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, the Negri, Baldini , the Sartorio, the Previati, the Irolli, the Spadini, and Umberto Boccioni.
In 1901 Basilio Cascella participated with La voce dei venti, lithograph preserved in the Pinacoteca of Chieti, at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Milan.
In 1907 he was in contact with the Drouot Gallery in Paris for an exhibition of the paintings of lilies Tommaso and Michele.
From 1930-31 he decorated the Head Gallery of the station of Milan, with five panels depicting the 5 Italian Cities, and the royal waiting room.
Large-scale majolica on the D'Annunzio themes of Iorio's daughter, the bridal coffers, with ceramic panels or round pieces were exhibited at Monza in the II and III International Exhibition of Decorative Arts, then in Rome at the Exposition of the Cultori di Belle Arti Society, and finally in the galleries in Pesaro and Milan in 1929 together with the works of Michele Cascella.
After moving to Rome in 1928, where he remained until his death, Basilio directed his production to celebrate, among other things, events of the fascist regime, his continuous presence in the artistic sector, had increased his fame, in 1929 he entered the Parliament, becoming Master of Art.
In 1927, he exhibited at the 4th Exhibition of the Fascist Provincial Union of Fine Arts of Abruzzo and of Molise, in Campobasso, the tempera.
The later works are the Marriage of His Highness King Prince of Piedmont (1930) at Villa Savoia, La giornata della Fede (Rome, Quirinal Palace), Italian People and Fabbro (1936-41), preserved at the time at the Ministry of the Interior , Trebbia del grano, already in Rome at the Ministry of Agriculture, and the composition allegory Trionfo della Libertà of 1947.
In 1934, he painted with his son Tommaso the two paintings with allegory Terra e Mare for the reception hall of the Palazzo del Governo in Bolzano.
Other works are collected at the Prefectural Picture Gallery in Chieti, in the Cascella Modern and Contemporary Art Picture Gallery, iand n the Farnese Palace in Ortona.
Sahir (İlker Kaleli), an officer trying to dissuade people from suicidal thoughts in a clinic affiliated with the Istanbul Police Headquarters, gets to know a scientist Bilge (Neslihan Atagül) because of a message.
In March 2017, Beren Saat and İlker Kaleli met at Soho House in Asmalımescit, Beyoğlu, and later announced that they were working together on a new project.
However, it was announced in February 2018 that the other two leading actors in the series, other than Kaleli, were Neslihan Atagül and Berrak Tüzünataç.
Apart from the names previously announced, Bülent Emin Yarar, Lale Mansur, Defne Kayalar, Olgun Toker, Gün Koper, Gözde Türkpençe and Can Gox were also included in the list.

The 2019–20 Prairie View A&M Panthers basketball team represent Prairie View A&M University in the 2019–20 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.
The Panthers, led by 4th-year head coach Byron Smith, play their home games at the William Nicks Building in Prairie View, Texas as members of the Southwestern Athletic Conference.
In the SWAC Tournament, they defeated Alcorn State in the quarterfinals, Grambling State in the semifinals advancing to the championship game, where they defeated Texas Southern, earning the SWAC's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.
In the NCAA Tournment, they were matched up against Fairleigh Dickinson in the First Four, resulting in a 76–82 loss for the Panthers.
Due to its body lacking metameric (linear series of body segments) appendages, it's highly hypothesized that this creature was closest related to mollusks.
However, there are opposing theories regarding the accuracy of this categorization because its unsegmented body and U-shaped head is far too large to be considered a mollusk.
It also lacks a single shield-like mantle, although a mantle-like structure appeared to slip away from a dorsal side of the body in the holotype.
Another reason scientists hypothesize mobility for this organism is because in 2017, researchers from around the world observed the way that water flowed around its shell.
It was discovered that they were able to face the direction of the water current using their U-shaped heads, and are most likely the oldest known species to have this capability.
Tai Po Democratic Alliance () is a loose political alliance consisting of the 17 candidates in the 2019 District Council election for the Tai Po District Council.
With the pro-democracy camp winning all the elected seats in the election, the alliance also saw 16 of its candidates being elected.
While four of them ran under the banner of the alliance, the others ran either with their own political groups or as independents.
In order to maximise the pro-democratic forces, the incumbent District Councillors joined hand with eight other hopefuls to form the Tai Po Democratic Alliance.
Only alliance member Yam Man-chuen was unseated by another pro-democrat candidate Ho Wai-lam in Fu Heng, meaning the alliance unofficially winning a total number of 16 seats in total.
The son of Vasily Gubanov goes to Moscow with the hope of stopping the construction of his chemical enterprise, despite the huge amount of money and labor resources spent on the project...
The LeGrand Morse House, at 365 Main St. in Point Arena in Mendocino County, California was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
Its National Register nomination provides this interesting explanation of its importance:This house is associated with one of Point Arena's founding families and is the only building directly linked with one of its early leading citizens.
Le Grand Morse had a career of increasing prominence, beginning as a teacher and store clerk, moving into the sales of drugs and general merchandise, and finally becoming a lawyer and state legislator.
The construction materials all date from that era, but the irregularly shaped U—plan appears as if the elements of the building were somehow pieced together after construction.
Notably, this is the only nonsecular structure designed by German-American modern architect, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, who at the time served as the director of the School of Architecture.
Bishop Conkling presented his proposal to fund and build a chapel complex with a meeting hall and parish house at IIT to bridge the gap between education and religion after World War II.
Before the chapel, Mies had already designed other IIT buildings which often had to be modified to accommodate university budget cuts.
After university administrators decreased funding, the design excluded the parish house design, although the steel frame was still in the plan.
Mies reduced the chapel to a building with load-bearing bricks, instead of steel, that held steel beams to support a concrete roof.
Bishop Conkling allegedly wanted to increase the presence of the Episcopal Church on campus by creating a place where students could engage deeper in faith.
Instead, Mies designed a modest yellow-brick prism whose only decorative features are the white, silk curtain behind the steel cross and the unadorned Roman travertine altar below it.
Robert F. Carr Memorial Chapel is a simple, unadorned rectangular box-like structure with a horizontally level roof sitting on a steel frame and a concrete layer.
The interior only has two sources of lighting: natural from the front entrance and artificial from the ceilings of the side walls.
The dark terrazzo flooring and lack of quintessential religious decorations direct the focus to the thin stainless steel crucifix against Shantung silk curtains.
Mies van der Rohe Society raised more than $1 million to restore the chapel by the end of the summer in 2013.
The company restored the roof, bricks, mortar joints, steel frames, flooring, doors, and benches and removed graffiti, shrubs, and water stains.
Further, the bricks to replace the cracked exterior wall came from an auxiliary wall of Bailey Hall, an IIT dorm constructed three years after the chapel.
Tin Shui Wai Connection () is a local political group based in Tin Shui Wai founded in 2019 by a group of LIHKG netizens.
In a historic pro-democracy landslide in 2019 District Council election, the group won four seats in the Yuen Long District Council.
Ex-member Leung Chin-hang who had run in the same constituency in the 2015 election faced another pro-democrat candidate, Ho Wai-pan of the Neighbourhood and Worker's Service Centre (NWSC).
Two candidates ran in a primary ahead the election, but the result was seen invalid as it did not meet the 800-vote threshold.
The rest of the candidates all won the election, gaining four seats in total and became the second largest political grouping in the Yuen Long District Council.
As a UCI WorldTeam, they were automatically invited and obligated to send a squad to every event in the UCI World Tour, and their season began in January with the Tour Down Under.
With more than 4800 species of plants, including 1900 species of medicinal plants, 700 species of trees, 900 species of flowering plants, it is one of the most bio diverse place on earth.
Rare species like the Ficus alii tree or Ficus maclellandii, Beggar’s bowl or Calabash, Camphor tree or Cinnamomum camphora, Damas tree or Conocarpus lancifolius, Kattupoovarash or Rhododendron arboreum, Rudraksha or Elaeocarpus ganitrus are present in the park.
The main attractions in the park are the Eden Garden, Nakshatra Vriksha junction, valentine garden, domestic animal farm, tea garden, telescope tower, Meenoottu palam and vegetable farm.
The park also houses world's tallest statue of Parashurama measuring about 35 ft as well as biggest Bible statue with a measurement of 25 ft by 25 ft.
According to him, Agricultural theme parks are parks that are made within an agricultural area or adjacent to an agricultural area mainly with an objective to give supplementary income to the farmer and to provide value addition for farm products.
The main idea behind the agricultural theme park is to bring the buyer directly to the agricultural farm and to sell farm products directly to the buyer in a value added way without any intermediaries.
The farmers could raise some supplementary income other than through sales of farm produces or its value addition but from other means or activities on the farm land.

Black Dog: Being A Teacher () is a 2019 South Korean television series starring Seo Hyun-jin, Ra Mi-ran and Ha Joon.
They  are generated by rational design through an approach called RNA architectonics, which make use of  RNA structural modules identified in natural (or sometimes artificial) RNA molecules to form pre-defined 3D structures spontaneously.
By applying the knowledge of computational modeling and biochemical characterization, RNA can be shaped into defined geometries and conduct various functions.
As such, tectoRNA can also carry functions to build large functional nanostructures which can be used for synthetic biology and nanotechnology application.
This concept was extended to RNA by Jaeger and collaborators in 2000 by taking advantage of the concept of RNA tectonics initially proposed by Jaeger and Westhof and collaborators in 1996.
TectoRNAs can be seen as analogous to words, and, by using the natural syntax of RNA structural motifs, all kinds of thermodynamically stable shapes can be rationally designed and synthesized.
GNRA tetraloop, kissing loops, kink turns, A-minor interaction, etc, can be encoded within tectoRNAs to control their geometry and self-assembly into nanostructures.
Atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and cryo-EM are powerful techniques which give us a direct clue how RNA nanostructures look like.
TectoRNAs are typically originating from single stranded RNA molecules and once folded, they act like LEGO bricks to build up higher order architectures.
More recently, RNA origami was extended to the design of long single stranded RNA sequences able to fold into large pre-defined nanostructures.
Hence, RNA modular origami (originally called RNA architectonics), RNA origami and RNA single stranded origami are both originating from the same concept where RNA sequences can be design to self-fold and assemble into predefined shapes.
Though RNA nanotechnology is still a burgeoning field, tectoRNAs and resulting nanostructures have already been shown to be useful in nanomedicine, nanotechnology, and synthetic biology.
It is also possible to incorporate modified nucleotides within tectoRNAs in order to increase their chemical stability and resistant towards degradation.
The Inner Mongolia incident (), or Inner Mongolia People's Revolution Party purge incident (), was a massive political purge during the Cultural Revolution in Inner Mongolia.
The purge was supported by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and was led by Teng Haiqing, a lieutenant general (zhong jiang) of the People's Liberation Army.
It took place from 1967-1969 during which over a million people were categorized as members of the already-dissolved Inner Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (PRP), while lynching and direct massacre resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands, most of whom were Mongols.
According to the official complaint from the Supreme People's Procuratorate in 1980 after the Cultural Revolution, during the purge, 346 thousand people were arrested, over 16 thousand were persecuted to death or killed directly, and over 81 thousand were permanently injured and disabled.
Other estimates have put a death toll between 20 thousand and 100 thousand, while hundreds of thousands were arrested and persecuted, and over a million people were affected.
On the other hand, some of Teng's affiliates received various terms of imprisonment, with a main Mongol affiliate sentenced to 15 years in prison.
He was also criticized by central leaders like Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping, whom themselves were soon persecuted in the Revolution.
On July 27, 1967, the northern branch of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China announced that Ulanhu had conducted five crimes, including anti-Maosim, anti-socialism, separatism, and so on.
During the movement, the already-dissolved Inner Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (PRP) was claimed to have re-established itself and grown into power since 1960.
At least hundreds of thousands of people were categorized as the members of the PRP, whom were regarded as separatists and were persecuted.
The methods used in lynching and killing during the purge included branding with hot irons, feeding furnace wastes, removing livers, hanging, cutting tongues and noses, piercing nails, piercing vaginas, pouring hot saline water into wounds, and more.
According to the official complaint from the Supreme People's Procuratorate in 1980 after the Cultural Revolution, during the purge, 346 thousand people were arrested (75 percent were Mongols), over 16 thousand were persecuted to death, and over 81 thousand were permanently injured and disabled.
After the Cultural Revolution, China's new paramount leader Deng Xiaoping came to power in 1978 and directed, together with Hu Yaobang and others, a large-scale rehabilitation of mistaken cases and false cases made during the Revolution.
On the other hand, in the 1980s, there were calls for trial of Teng Haiqing, the commander of the purge, but the Central Committee of CPC thought Teng had made achievements during the wars in the past and he would not have to take responsibility for the purge.
On the other hand, some of Teng's affiliates received various terms of imprisonment, with a main Mongol affiliate, Wu'er Bagan (), sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Pallavi Chatterjee (born: 30 October 1965) is an Indian actress and producer who is known for her works in Bengali cinema.
WOOK, which spawned an FM station (WFAN) and a TV station (WOOK-TV channel 14, later WFAN-TV), had its license revoked by the Federal Communications Commission in 1975 for an illegal numbers racket.
In 1976, with the station's fate nearly sealed, WOOK became Spanish-language WFAN, in a format swap that allowed the Black-formatted WOOK intellectual unit to stay alive.
The Federal Communications Commission had previously approved the granting of a construction permit to attorney Lawrence J. Heller on February 13, including a 50-watt synchronous amplifier to give the station full metropolitan coverage.
In 1951, Richard Eaton, whose United Broadcasting Company owned radio station WOOK (1590 kHz) in Silver Spring, Maryland, and newly signed on Washington FM outlet WFAN (100.3 FM), bought WINX from the Banks Independent Broadcasting Company for $115,000.
WOOK, established in 1947, was Eaton's first radio station; Eaton had previously been a commentator with WINX and then with the Mutual Broadcasting System.
In order to retain both stations and meet multiple ownership rules, the Silver Spring station license was relocated to Rockville, Maryland—which under pre-1950 Census Bureau guidelines was not part of the Washington metropolitan area—on 1600 kHz.
Additionally, Eaton switched the two stations' call letters, resulting in WOOK as the new 1340 in Washington, D.C., and WINX as the station at 1600 in Rockville.
The local of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers asked the FCC to reconsider approving the WINX-WOOK swap because the former WINX's union technicians had been replaced by United's non-union staff.
While Eaton had originally intended to make WOOK a talk outlet, the African-American printer of Eaton's suburban newspapers suggested that he cover Washington's growing Black population.
It was just the second such station aimed at a Black audience, after WDIA in Memphis, Tennessee, which then had an all-white air staff.
In 1956, WOOK relocated its transmitter to several lots purchased by Eaton in the Chillum Castle Manor subdivision, at 1st Place, NE.
In 1962, WOOK moved into a new, purpose-built radio and television studio at 5321 1st Place NE, and WOOK-TV channel 14 took to the air on March 5, 1963.
The station ceased broadcasting on February 12, 1972, as United faced mounting legal challenges to its various licenses and consequent financial reverses.
United asked the FCC to keep the WFAN-TV license active while it tried to sell it, but because United itself had no intention of restoring service, the stations' licenses were deleted in 1974 after United was ordered to return them to air itself.
However, United's troubles deepened when, on August 31, a competing application was filed for the 1340 frequency by Washington Community Broadcasting.
For WOOK radio, the FCC's questions revolved around the broadcast of false advertisements; the group also charged that WOOK was used in a numbers racket using fake Bible citations read over the air by ministers who bought air time on the station.
Hearings for WOOK stretched until September 1975, when the FCC denied its license renewal but did not resolve the status of the Washington Community Broadcasting application, so that the group could cure financial deficiencies in its application.
It would not be until August 24, 1976, that Washington Community Broadcasting Company's ten-year-old competing application for the 1340 frequency was granted.
When it became clear that 1340's license was doomed, Eaton opted to sacrifice the Spanish-language programming that had been airing at 100.3 FM to move WOOK's intellectual unit there.
However, as April 22, 1978—the final day of broadcasting for the WFAN license—loomed, Hispanic leaders in metropolitan Washington were left to evaluate their options; they attempted to purchase WGTB, which Georgetown University was selling at the time, but the University of the District of Columbia acquired the station, rendering the backup offer from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington—which would have run the station as a Spanish-language outlet—moot.
The Turkish sultan Solimano (Suleiman the Magnificent) has sent his eldest son Selimo (Selim II) and his half-brother Zanghire (Şehzade Cihangir) into the war against the Shah of Persia, Tamasse (Tahmasp I).
As a result of the campaign, Selimo is to marry the daughter of the Shah, Persane, and become ruler of Turkey and Persia.
The current sultana Roselane (Hürrem Sultan), mother of Zanghire and stepmother of Selimo, together with Grand Vizier Rustano (Rüstem Pasha) intrigue to eliminate Selimo and to make Zanghire sultan.
The vocal lines were generally written to be delivered in a smooth cantabile style, while the orchestral parts supporting them called for a more detached execution.
Modern performances of the 1768 version took place in 2010 and again in 2011 under Juan Bautista Otero, with the Real Compañía Ópera de Cámara as part of the Granada Music Festival.
The 6th Pioneer Regiment () is a military engineer regiment of the Italian Army based in the Cecchignola quarter of Rome.
Today the regiment is administratively assigned to the army's Engineer Command and the army's sole pioneer unit, whose focus, unlike the army's other engineer units, is on rear area construction tasks.
During November 1926 the Royal Italian Army raised a series of engineer regiments, among them the 6th Engineer Regiment in Bologna with the functions of a depot; i.e.
During World War II the 54th company was deployed to Slovenia and Croatia, until Italy changed sides with the Armistice of Cassibile on 8 September 1943 and the regiment and company were disbanded.
On 4 September 1993 the battalions was elevated to regiment without changing its size or composition and on 1 December 1997 the regiment passed from the Central Military Region to the army's Engineer Grouping.
After the 1997 Umbria and Marche earthquake the regiment was deployed to the affected areas, where it remained until May 1998, earning a Bronze Medal of Civil Valour for its service.
After the August 2016 earthquake in Central Italy the regiment was deployed to the disaster area and remained there until April 2017, building shelters and clearing debris, and providing engineering services to the affected communities.
The Command and Logistic Support Company fields the following platoons: C3 Platoon, Transport and Materiel Platoon, Medical Platoon, Commissariat Platoon, and EOD Platoon.
Each of the two pioneer battalions fields three construction companies with the necessary equipment to build camps, airfields, lodging, roads, etc.
The film, produced by Anthony Fankhauser, stars Ray Wise, Kevin Gage, Vernon Wells, Robert LaSardo, Dana Melanie, Sofia Mattsson, Kayla Carlyle, Monique Parent, and Jack Forcinito.
When a top secret Black Ops facility is breached from within by genetically modified Velociraptors, a final shipment is re-routed to a nearby prison to secure a half dozen of the beasts.
A trio of sorority girls (who are temporary 'guests' after getting busted for high-jinx after a particularly obnoxious party) find themselves trapped in the prison when these dinosaurs escape and go on a vicious rampage killing 90% of the prison population including the guards.
Forced to team up with the remaining prisoners they find themselves pushed deeper and deeper into the bowels of the prison to find a way out.
And to make matters worse the Black Ops organization enters the prison not only to collect their 'property', but also permanently silence anyone with knowledge of the situation.

Arne Sverre Birger Krogdahl (25 February 1909 – 10 May 1988) was a Norwegian chess player, Norwegian Chess Championship winner (1937).
With his win in the 2018 Malaysian General Election, he was appointed an Perak State Executive Council member serving in the Pakatan Harapan state government of Perak under Menteri Besar Ahmad Faizal Azumu.
In August, 2019 was arraigned in Ipoh Sessions Court under Section 376 of the indictment on the charge of raping his maid in a room on the top floor of Meru Road 2, Meru Village Park, near here, between 8.15 and 9.15pm on July 7 2019.
Paul Yong Choo Kiong was born in Sitiawan, Perak, Malaysia, His family were settlers of New Village Program introduced during the British rule of Malaya.
Yong received his education from SJKC Pei Min Ayer Tawar, and subsequently from SMK Ambrose, Ayer Tawar as well as Nan Hua High School of Ayer Tawar.
He also obtained a Masters in Business Administration from a correspondence University name Akamai, although pronounced by opposition politician Wee Ka Siong that the degree obtained by Yong is a part of a degree mill.
Entering politics in 2004, Yong quickly became the Political Secretary to Ngeh Koo Ham in the Sitiawan Branch of DAP Yong stood as the State Assemblyman candidate in the 2008 Malaysian General Election and won in the ADUN seat of N33 Tronoh in the state of Perak.
As the incumbent, Yong stood again in the same seat in the 2018 Malaysian General Election beating his closest rival from MCA Yuen Chan How by a majority of 10,501 votes.
Allegations first arose around early July and despite having police investigations returned, the it was resubmitted to the Attorney General Chambers for charges, resulting in Yong being charged in the Ipoh Sessions Court for rape of his househelper.
It then emerged that there was 'third party' involvement and Ngeh Koo Ham publicly saying that he had met the person who was paid to make the police report along with the househelper.
Despite an official request from the legal defense team to expedite the case and have it transferred to the high court for a faster hearing, the high court denied the transfer, requesting it be heard in the sessions court instead.
Yong opted to go on leave when pressure was stepped up calling for him to take leave-of-absence despite earlier rejecting the advise of the Menteri Besar Although he did proceed with the leave-of-absence, Yong returned to duty at the Perak State Legislative Assembly seating between November 16–22.
It was then alleged that Perak DAP Chairman Nga Kor Ming was overheard in a recording chiding Yong for his initiative to return to work, further compounding the rumour that 'black hands' were behind the accusation.
Allegations emerged during Yong's appearance in court when a few hundred of his supporters emerged to call for the resignation of Nga.
Despite his defense claim and emergence of third party involvement, Yong released a press statement urging his supporters to continue their support of the party and its leaders.
Other developments relating to this include the earlier resignation of Malim Nawar ADUN Leong Cheok Keng and Pokok Assam ADUN Leow Thye Yih in protest to Nga's statement of Party's decision on Yong's fate rather than the Party's state committee.
On 5 November 2019, Yong reported that his house was broken into while he was away on business, resulting in the loss of important documents as well as personal property.
Most of his work was exhibited during the period 1816-47 - some 66 of his works were displayed at the Royal Academy and another 13 at the Suffolk Street galleries.
Smith's studio was located at 69 East Street, Brighton (1869-1872), and his residence in 1871 was at 11 Rose Hill Terrace, Brighton.
Antitrichia curtipendula (also known as pendulous wing moss or hanging moss) is a species of feather-moss found predominantly in western North America and the western coast of Europe.
The stems of Hanging Moss can grow up to 15-30 cm long and are host to a leaf with, upon close examination, three midribs.
Some other locations that this particular species has been found are Denmark, the Eastern coast of Norway near Stockholm, Austria, the Western coast of France, and the Western coast of Spain.
The locations in Western Europe where Hanging Moss has been found are much smaller areas than those in Western North America, where the moss’ habitat is more extensive.
This moss is found in low to high elevation forests, ranging from around 0-2100 meters in elevation that are predominantly coniferous type trees.
Hanging Moss does not grow roots into the ground, instead growing complex root systems upon their host plant, that weave themselves into a tight matt and provide structure and support to the overall moss community.
Living up off the forest floor allows these epiphytes to gain access to the precipitation that may or may not reach them through the forest canopy.
Living in the canopy and/or not on the forest floor also gives these organisms access to more sunshine than they would get otherwise.
After germination and when first developing, moss will develop a thin, felt like structure on damp soil, rocks, tree bark, or rocks.
This transitional stage in the life cycle of moss leads to the growth of gametophore which then develops into stems and leaves.
Since these mosses do not want to grow on the forest floor, they cannot simply fall to the ground and take root.
Wind distribution allows for the moss spores to reach a greater distance than they otherwise would and allows for the spores to attach to surfaces within the canopy.
When birds and insects land on or brush against moss, they can retain spores on their bodies, carrying them through the forest to where ever they land next.
Since these mosses generally grow on trees, factors that threaten tree growth and health also threaten the growth of these epiphytes.
After this habitat is altered, they need to wait for the tree canopy to grow back before they are able to then inhabit the area once again.
These mosses tend to inhabit mid to old growth forests for the particular reason that these forests are already established enough to provide good structural support for these epiphytes.
Also, because these mosses are slow growing, which means to get a structurally sound community in one spot, they need to develop over time.
The 2nd Bridge Engineer Regiment () is a military engineer regiment of the Italian Army based in Piacenza in the Emilia Romagna.
Today the regiment is administratively assigned to the army's Engineer Command and the army's sole unit focusing on operational level river crossings.
On 1 January 1883 the Royal Italian Army raised the 4th Engineer Regiment (Bridges) in Piacenza with the functions of a depot; i.e.
One of the four bridge engineer companies, the 1st Bridge Engineer Company, had distinguished itself at the Siege of Peschiera in May 1848 during the First Italian War of Independence and arrived with a Bronze Medal of Military Valour, which was affixed to the flag of the newly raised regiment.
After the Twelfth Battle of the Isonzo the regiment's companies built emergency bridges over the Torre and Tagliamento rivers to allow the Third Army to escape.
During the battles along the Piave river the engineers helped the Italian Army cross the river during the decisive Battle of Vittorio Veneto.
After the war the 4th Engineer Regiment (Bridges) was renamed Bridge Engineer and Lagunari Regiment, to honor the conduct of the Lagunari units during the war.
On 15 May 1933 the regiment was split into the 1st Bridge Engineer Regiment in Verona and the 2nd Bridge Engineer Regiment in Piacenza.
The I and IX bridge battalions distinguished themselves in September 1941 as part of the Italian Expeditionary Corps in Russia, when they repaired a long enemy pontoon bridge over the Dnieper river at Dnipro in Southern Ukraine under enemy fire.
The same year the regiment began to build the bridge for the yearly Festa del Redentore in Venice - a tradition that continued until the end of obligatory military service in 2000.
For its quick and tireless intervention after the Polesine floods in November 1951 the regiment was awarded a Silver Medal of Civil Valour.
On 1 March 1953 the regiment raised a second and third bridge engineer battalion, with the former being based in Legnano.
On 1 January 1954 the I Railway Battalion left the regiment to form the Railway Engineer Regiment, followed on 1 October 1957 by the II Engineer Battalion.
On 6 September 1974 the I Bridge Engineer Battalion was put into reserve status and switched then numbers with the II Bridge Engineer Battalion.
The battalion was elevated to 1st Bridge Engineer Regiment and assigned the war flag of the 1st Engineer Regiment in 1993, but was disbanded in 1997.
On 1 December 1997 the regiment passed from the Tuscan-Emilian Military Region to the army's Engineer Grouping, which on 10 September 2010 became the Engineer Command.
After the August 2016 earthquake in Central Italy the regiment was deployed to the disaster area and remained there until April 2017, rebuilding roads and bridges, and providing engineering services to the affected communities.
The Command and Logistic Support Company fields the following platoons: C3 Platoon, Transport and Materiel Platoon, Medical Platoon, Commissariat Platoon, and EOD Platoon.
The two bridge engineer companies are equipped with French , while the other two companies are equipped with a variety of cranes, excavators, etc.

Marroquín studied art at la Universidad Nacional in Bogotá from 1967 until 1969 and moved to the Netherlands in the early 1970s to study at the Jan van Eyk Academie in Maastricht from 1971 until 1974.
Before going to The Netherlands, Marroquín worked as a sculpture and experimental artist, while he was also dreaming of the possibilities of photography, film and video.
When he arrived to Maastricht, he started studying graphics but was soon attracted to the experimental department which taught subjects like photography, film and video.
Up until today, Marroquín works mainly with audio/visual installations and since 1974, he has lectured about telecommunications and alternative television productions at diverse European universities in Europe, the United States and Canada.
It’s just not the same as a de Kooning to admire.” De Kooning, together with Francis Bacon, was Marroquín’s main visual influence back in the ’80s, especially for form and line.
He thinks that there have been no new theoretical breakthroughs since McLuhan to reply to the latest technological advances in the mass media.
After his arrival to Maastricht, Marroquín started 'Equipo Movimiento' in 1972 together with Young Tchong, a son of a Chinese entrepreneur, who owned a video camera.
In later years, he set up the World's First TV Convention and initiated De Hoeksteen Live, a local cable TV station in Amsterdam.
Equipo Movimiento became a success and soon presented video works and performances in many different cities, such as Lausanne, Liège, Saint Paul de Vence, Aalst, Bogotá and more.
Raúl Marroquín was one of the first artists to work with colour video, but he also experimented with the possibilities of art via the cable.
Art gallery De Appel was a partner in this project, though it was a fiasco due to the enormous bureaucracy and red tape in the Netherlands.
As a result, the planned satellite link could not be made, and The Link was only broadcast on the New York cable.
From then onwards he produced programs for Channel 4 BBC, Deutschland 3, Manhattan Cable and other local networks in the United States.
In the Netherlands, one of the episodes of Superman’s Last Adventure Series (Raúl Marroquín 1975 - 1976) was cable casted live by LOB, the first cable network in The Netherlands that was based in Amsterdam.
As a reaction on the constant same use of the visual language of television, Marroquin developed the idea to organize the world’s first television congress.
According to Marroquín, television, as well as video, are both mass media which have not changed since the beginning of it.
His biggest ambition was to change the visual language of television and with this aim, he organized the first television congress in 1980 which took place in The Bank, Haarlemmerstraat 118 in Amsterdam from June 23 until June 27th 1980 and is organized by Mad Enterprizes.
Within a very short period, the television was not only a mediator of TV programs, but also the screen of a computer which, according to Marroquín, should be questioned and studied.
Other points of focus were the hours in which the television broadcasts programs as well as the content of the television programs; television became a medium which was broadcasting every hour of the day and which televisions were not ready for.
Together with Dutch artist Marjo Schumans and Young Tchong, Marroquín initiated the paper 'Fandangos' which was published by Agora Studio in Maastricht.
During this period, Marroquín also organized lectures at the Jan van Eyck Academy and invited renowned artists such as Joseph Beuys and Robert Filliou for talks.
For the following issues of Fandangos, foreign artists were invited, not only for written interviews but also for taped versions of it.

Broersen and Lukács is an artist duo living and working in Amsterdam and is formed by Persijn Broersen (Delft, 1974) and Margit Lukács (Amsterdam, 1973).
They have been working together since 2001 making mostly video-art and video-art installations using various mediums such as photography, video and animation.
Central to their artworks is the relationship between individuals and their environments, both nature and society, and how this is influenced by the current, media based society.
Their works have been part of numerous exhibitions but have also been shown on festivals, for example IFFR and Lowlands festival.
Several of their works can also be found in the collection of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and the Akzo Nobel Art Foundation.
Both Broersen and Lukács started their artistic education at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, where they studied graphic design from 1994 to 1998.
After residencies at the Chinese European Art Center (Xiamen, China) in 2002 and Iaspis (Stockholm, Sweden) in 2006 they enrolled in a two-year residency at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam from 2007 to 2008.
They returned to the Chinese European Art Centre in 2010 after which they came back to Europe residing in the Atelier Holsboer (Paris, France) between 2011 and 2012.
Though fictional, the shots are made to look like documentary footage of a town that is slowly influenced by consequences of globalization.
Slowly, it becomes clear that the scientist is a somewhat lonely soul, in need of social contact in his direct environment while at the same time longing for the unknown world on other planets.
The story is based on interviews conducted by Broersen and Lukács with researchers and scholars on the topic of extraterrestrial space.
Broersen and Lukács built on the idea that the Disney classic Bambi can also be interpreted as a metaphor for human society as the sole thread of nature.
The video is accompanied by a soundtrack created by Berend Dubbe and Gwendolyn Thomas, who have distorted the original movie soundtrack.
By exploring these past depictions of the future, the artists wanted to show how the idea of the future in popular media can change with time and can be linked to certain ideologies.
The photographs in the video are of the landscapes used as filming locations for The Lord of the Rings series in New-Zealand.
With these shots, Broersen and Lukács want to show how nature can inspire movies, but also how these movies in return have changed the way the landscapes are viewed (for example the renaming of various sites).
A slight difference in technique causes the photo's to produce 3D scenes of the forest that aren't screen filling but rather appear to be floating in space.
An animated avatar of the Iranian opera singer Shahram Yazdani can be seen walking through the woods, singing a Persian version of Nat King Cole's Nature Boy.
The song is chosen because of its relation to Herman Yablokoff, a songwriter who claims to have written it and lived close to the forest.
The Cat Stones of Scotland or in Scots Gaelic, the Clach a'Chath, are natural prominent rock features or standing stones that are often linked to battles or burials.
The Cat Stones are mainly linked with battles or burials whilst a few may have primary or secondary connections with Scottish Wildcats (Felis silvestris).
Many hills also have 'Cat' as a part of their name such as Cat Castle, Cat Law, Cath Law, Cat Hill, Cade Hill, Cat Cairn, Hill of Cat, etc.
The long cists of an Early Christian cemetery were established in a Bronze Age site consisting of a standing stone and kerb-cairn dating from the second millennium BC, the standing stone then being re-used for an Early Christian inscription.
The Catstane stood in what had been an arable field on the farm of Brigs and tradition has it that it commemorates either a battle fought between the forces of Malcolm II and those of the usurper Constantine, or the spot where the latter was killed.
The battle itself is traditionally said to have been fought about 2 miles west of the Catstane at the Hamlet of Newbridge.
This standing stone, one of a pair, stands at NGR NN711478 and is also known as Coille Dhubh or Clach Taghairm nan Cat.
The associated legend is that at Halloween Scottish wildcats formed a circle around it to dignify a huge black cat that sat atop the stone.
In the Barony of Ladyland the Cat Craig is located beside the lane running up to Cockston Farm and is one of two drystone wall enclosed crags.
As an easily identified and prominent landscape feature that would serve as an ideal rallying point for the vassals of the laird prior to battle as was the borestone at Giffen Castle and Greenhills near Beith, also in North Ayrshire.
The Battle of Largs was fought in 1263 and nearby Camphill is said to have been a rallying point for the Scottish army.
The story associated with the Cat Stone is that circa 1652 a skirmish took place between garrison troops from Brodick Castle and a group of locals at Allt-a-Chlaideimh (Sword Burn) with the last soldier killed at Clach-a-Chath, the Battle Stone (NR918488).

Abu'l-Simt Marwan al-Akbar ibn Sulayman ibn Yahya ibn Abi Hafsa (723–) was a famous Arab poet at the court of the Abbasid Caliphate during the second half of the 8th century.
In order to pursue his career, Marwan left his family's home for Baghdad, where he quickly rose to prominence in the court circles.
He wrote numerous works in praise of his patron, of such skill and eloquence that on one occasion the Abbasid caliphs al-Mansur () and al-Mahdi () are said to have taken offence at the lavish praise, and to have excluded him from their presence for one year thereafter.

The 1924 United States presidential election in Oregon took place on November 4, 1924, as part of the 1924 United States Presidential Election which was held throughout all contemporary 48 states.
Apart from Woodrow Wilson’s two elections, during the first of which the GOP was severely divided, no Democrat since William Jennings Bryan in 1900 had carried a single county in the state.
Still, in the previous 1920 election Oregon saw less decline from Wilson’s 1916 support than any other state in the West or Plains, so that after being Wilson’s poorest state in this region it was James Cox’s strongest therein.
Despite continuing overwhelming Republican dominance of the state legislature, 1922 had seen incumbent Governor Ben W. Olcott denounce the powerful Ku Klux Klan with the result that Democratic nominee Walter Pierce won the election on a platform to make attendance at public schools compulsory, without support from the more progressive faction of the dominant Republican Party.
The 1922 House of Representatives elections also saw Oregon elect to the 3rd District its first Democratic representative since 1880 in Elton Watkins.
Polls consistently showed that Oregon would remain firmly in Republican hands, and by mid-October it was clear that La Follette and Davis would run close for second place.
Ultimately La Follette edged Davis out for second place by a mere 814 votes out of 279,488, although Oregon was still Davis’ best state west of the Continental Divide apart from the two less isolationist states of Southern-leaning Arizona and Mormon Utah, with the Democrat’s best vote coming from historically Democratic and Ozark mountaineer-settled Eastern Oregon.

The Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) in Washington, D.C., was created in 2012 by the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law via a grant from the Pew Charitable Trust.
ERIC shares multi-state voter registration information to improve both the accuracy of voter rolls and the encouragement of greater voter participation in elections.
By 2019, Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin had joined the partnership.
That was an extremely labor-intensive and largely ineffective enterprise that had been developed in the interests of protecting the integrity of elections by focusing on and identifying voters who cast ballots in more than one state in the same electoral period.
After years of major erroneous purges of voter rolls, harmful misidentification of legitimate voters, and costly operation in return for very marginal success, it was shut down in December 2019 in part off its own weight, but also as a direct result of litigation successfully brought by the Kansas Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
ERIC, on the other hand, was developed by minimalist data scientist Jeff Jonas, using his effective software in a multistate project to identify eligible voters who had fallen off the rolls via unreported changes of address, for instance, and thereby to increase voter participation and also to resolve errors in voter rolls, such as removing names of deceased voters..
Between 2012 and 2018, ERIC identified 26 million persons who were eligible to cast ballots but were not registered to vote, as well as 10 million registered voters who had moved, or who appeared on more than one list.
Administrators from both Democratic and Republican majority states have participated in the process of refining the product and reduced the challenge of handling data processing.
In 2017, researchers at Stanford University, Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania and the Microsoft Corporation confirmed that Crosscheck produced erroneous eligibility data, elevating the potential of disenfranchising legitimate voters.
Follow-up research in some states concluded that 10 to 20 percent of those contacted had later registered to vote, a high response rate for direct mailings, Mr. Hamlin said.
Colorado's outreach produced the highest percentage of eligible, registered voters in the country in 2016, at 90 percent, up from 82 percent in 2012.
Jonas has been particularly pleased that ERIC has a two-person staff with one tending the constantly growing database of more than 275 million records.

Gentlemen's Fury is a 2017 comedy film written, produced, and directed by Ben Sharples and Marissa Hall, and starring Sharples, Jake Head, and Audrey Ellis Fox.
The movie begins with professional tennis player Aaron Faust (Sharples) playing an exhibition match at the estate of the late Mickey Rooney.
Gentlemen's Fury is Dwayne’s answer to tennis’ image problem, and also, he promises, just what Aaron needs to turn his life around.
Though hesitant at first, Aaron is excited to learn that Gentlemen's Fury is made up of other former pros who were excused from the tour for questionable behavior and that the league takes significant liberties with the rules of tennis, essentially turning it into a contact sport, so he joins the squad.
But Aaron begins to realize as he gets deeper and deeper involved in this cult-like club that Gentlemen's Fury might not be all it's cracked up to be.
Dwayne, in true cult leader fashion, transforms from a guy spouting a new tennis utopia into a crazed psychopath with more than one homicide on his hands, while Aaron struggles at first to keep up, then just to survive.

An orange–blue coalition ( ) is a type of governing coalition in Belgian politics that brings together Liberal parties (MR and OpenVLD, who traditionally use the color blue) and Christian democratic/humanist political parties (cdH and CD&V, who traditionally use the color orange).
These coalitions are also termed Blue–Roman (French: Bleue-romaine, Dutch: Rooms-blauw), corresponding to the colors of the liberal parties, and the Roman of the Roman Catholic Church for the Christian Democrats.
While the term originated after the 2007 Belgian federal election to designate the proposed federal coalition between christian democrats and liberals, several Belgian government coalitions correspond with this definition.
This coalition was known in the 19th century as the Unionist coalition, as it represented a union of the Catholics and Liberals against the Netherlands.
Between World War II and the 1980s, government coalitions alternated between those formed by the Orange-Blue coalition, and those formed by the Parti Socialiste/Socialistische Partij Anders.
An exception occurred before the 2019 Belgian federal election, when the Michel II Government used the coalition prior to the election.

Leymann was main co-inventor and chief software architect of IBM's business process management and workflow products, and was appointed IBM Distinguished Engineer for this work.
In 2014, he was appointed full professor of computer science at University of Stuttgart where he founded the Institute of Architecture of Application Systems.
At this time, developers were quite unfamiliar with object databases, thus, Leymann helped to create tooling to ensure proper performance of corresponding applications.
Several languages have been proposed for modeling business processes, out which two languages are widely supported in industry: one of which is the OASIS (organization) standard Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) that Leymann co-invented and which in turn is based on Web Services Flow Language (WSFL), a language that Leymann authored for IBM; the other language is Business Process Model and Notation 2.0 (BPMN), which Leymann co-author too.
The architecture and implementation of workflow systems anticipated many aspects of service-oriented programming like the use of service interfaces, service invoker, or service listener.
Consequently, from 2000 on, Leymann helped to define several of the original web service standards like WS-Addressing, WS-Business Activity, BPEL4People, or the Web Services Resource Framework.
How the plethora of web service standards fit into an architecture for an enterprise service bus was described in a book on the web service platform co-authored by Leymann.
The work on the web services resource framework had already shown that elements of a computing infrastructure like hardware, operating systems etc can be perceived as services too - just like software functionality.
Consequently, complete applications can be outsource to the cloud, which requires standards and technology to provision and manage applications in such environments: Frank Leymann was initial co-author of OASIS TOSCA that allows to specify the structure of applications, their artifacts, and dependencies, as well as the associated operational semantics to automatically provision such applications.
Guidelines for building applications that fit properly into the cloud have been derived jointly with industry partners and was published as a vendor-neutral language of cloud computing patterns.
Leymann and his group investigated the use of pattern languages not only in the area of cloud computing but in several other domains like the internet of things, green business processes, or quantum computing.
Patterns are abstractions of concrete working solutions, but in course of the abstraction process the knowledge about these workings solutions is lost - with the consequence that working solutions are created over and over again when a pattern is applied.
In order to show that newly developed concepts are applicable outside of computer science they are applied to the humanities, especially to the domain of films and musicology.

The rivalry between these two schools dates to their first men's college football game in 1966, and has continued across all sports, with the basketball series gaining attention as well, having started in 1968.
The schools have also shared conferences historically, with the rivalry stretching over the span of five conferences from the Missouri Valley Conference, to the Metro Conference, Great Midwest Conference, Conference USA, and more recently in the American Athletic Conference.
The schools would first face off as members of the Missouri Valley Conference in the 1960's and then both schools would be founding members of the Metro Conference, Great Midwest Conference, and Conference USA.
The schools were reunited as conference rivals due to the 2010–2014 NCAA conference realignment as members of the American Athletic Conference.
While the rivalry was represented annually in football, the true intensity of the rivalry was felt more deeply on the basketball court.
Most recently, with the football teams facing off in the 2019 American Athletic Conference Football Championship Game, with Memphis claiming the victory.
Nov 24, 2001: Memphis was searching for their first winning season since 1994 and the story looked complete when the Tigers scored a touchdown with 2:16 left in the 4th quarter.

September 24, 2015: In a primetime Thursday night match, Memphis QB Paxton Lynch and Cincinnati QB Hayden Moore led a 99 point shootout.
Bearcats QB Desmond Ridder returned from injury to start and the teams went blow for blow, with the game having 6 lead changes.
However, the Tigers once again proved to be too much for the Bearcats and would win 29–24 to clinch an appearance in the 2019 Cotton Bowl Classic.
Cincinnati and Memphis were rivals, first playing in 1968, until the 2010–14 NCAA conference realignment the teams had not played since 2008.
The teams have faced off 79 times in basketball series history, with Cincinnati leading the all-time series 46–33 as of the end of the 2018–19 season.
March 29, 1992: In a rare coincidence, the Tigers and Bearcats faced off for the fourth time during the 1991–92 season, this time in the NCAA Elite Eight.
Nick Van Exel and Cincinnati defeated Great Midwest Player of the Year Penny Hardaway in the two regular season matchups and in the tournament final hosted in Chicago.
12 Cincinnati would prove to be too much for the Tigers again in Kansas City beating the Tigers 88–57 before falling to the Michigan Fab Five in the Final Four.
February 6, 1993: After four defeats in the prior season, Memphis and Penny Hardaway were ready for blood when the Bearcats visited the Memphis Pyramid.
4 Bearcats were defeated by the Tigers 68–66, recording Memphis their 1,000 program win and what would be Hardaway's only win as a player against Cincinnati.
9 Bearcats were defeated in Memphis 75–63, in what became famously Memphis coach Larry Finch's final game as he was forced to resign by University of Memphis administrators.
4 Bearcats came into their senior day game against the Tigers having won or shared each of Conference USA's six regular season titles, but the Tigers battled furiously to top Cincinnati.
Cincinnati missed all 16 of their three-point attempts, with senior Logan having to take charge and tie the game with only 6.9 seconds left to send it to overtime.
Memphis dominated the second half and led by 23 points from Chris Massie, Memphis won, 67-48, handing Cincinnati its worst defeat in eight years of Conference USA play.
Mistakenly believing the Bearcats to have the lead, James White received the inbound and scored a lazy shot with only a few seconds remaining.
January 4, 2014: In the first game of the two teams in the American Athletic Conference, the Bearcats came storming into FedExForum to take on the No.
Both teams would advance to the 2014 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament as the rivalry was rekindled in the new conference.
First playing in the 1977–78 season, Memphis now leads the all-time series 35–20 as of the end of the 2018–19 season.

The ICC represents more than 45 million companies in over 100 countries These Guidelines cover Certificates of Origin as used in international trade, as opposed to any other purpose.
Certificates of Origin are a document utilized in international trade to identify the country of origin of products exported from one country to another.
In most countries, Chambers of Commerce are the trusted third party through which millions of Certificates of Origin are issued around the world.
Preferential Certificates of Origin relate to exports which fall under trade preference agreements between countries or groups of countries, which have special reduced (or zero) rates of duty on trade between the nations.
The publication, along with other rules of international trade published by the ICC such as the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (ICC Publication 600), Incoterms 2020 (ICC Publication 723) and numerous other ICC publications, form part of the structural backbone to international trade procedures around the world.
One of the most well-known activities of the ICC is its International Court of Arbitration in Paris, which has resolved disputes in international trade and investment since 1923.
The ICC maintains an online Certificate of Origin verification site at which Customs Authorities and other interested parties can verify the authenticity of Certificates of Origin.
At the ICC verification site, Certificates of Origin issued in Countries and the Chambers accredited under the ICC CO accreditation program can be reviewed.
To process Certificates of Origin properly, avoid legal liabilities relating to errors or fraud, and assure a minimum of problems for exporters and importers with Customs authorities and foreign embassies, Chambers that are Accredited by the ICC issue Certificates of Origin against this complex set of guidelines with trained professional staff.

His paternal grandfather, Maharaj Kumar Commanding General Pratap Shamsher J.B. Rana, had been the Governor of Palpa (1924–1929) as well as the Commanding General of Northern Nepal (1932–1934).
His paternal great-grandfather, Commanding General Maharaja Sir Bir Shumsher J.B. Rana, had been the 11th Prime Minister of Nepal and the Maharaja of Lamjung and Kaski (1885-1901).
He then began pursuing a BA degree at BHU but dropped out in the last year due to his successful results in the Officer Cadre Selection Examination for the Royal Nepalese Army.
He completed his training and was commissioned into the Royal Nepalese Army in the rank of Second Lieutenant on 22 July 1955.
At the time, the then Lieutenant Rana was the second officer in the Royal Nepalese Army to have received training from Sandhurst.
After being promoted to Captain in 1962, he underwent further training at the Nepalese Military Academy which at that time was based in Nagarkot.
At the start of his tenure, he completed his parachuting training course which was facilitated by the instructors of the Israel Defense Force.
By the early 1970s about nine thousand Khampa fighters, Tibetan tribesmen resisting Chinese authority, had crossed over the border to the remote Nepalese district of Mustang.
In addition to carrying out illegal military activity, the Khampa fighters had been pillaging, plundering and killing members of the local communities.
Consequently, a joint agreement between the Nepalese and Chinese governments was signed, with the common objective of disarming the Khampa fighters.
Before the deployment of the entire taskforce, the then Lieutenant Colonel Rana led a small reconnaissance team to gather military intelligence in order to formulate the procedure of disarmament.
After having identified the locations of various military camps, gauged their military capabilities and identified the leaders of the Khampa fighters, Rana devised the plan of operations.
The main battle group of the task force was based around the Shree Shreenath Battalion, which was under the command of Rana.
After having received multiple false promises of disarmament from Gey-Wangdi, the commander of the Khampa forces, military units under the command of Rana moved in to occupy the camps on 1 August.
Whilst Rana was able to dismantle all the camps, recover large quantities of weaponry and capture a number of Khampa fighters, Gey-Wangdi was able to escape.
In 1978, the Royal Nepalese Army deputed Rana to work in the headquarters of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon as Chief Operations Officer.
The UNIFL had been set up by the United Nations in response to the South Lebanon conflict which took place the same year.
Rana's tenure as COO saw the Tyre District, a designated UN area, being infiltrated and occupied by eighty Palestine Liberation Organization fighters.
This destabilised the military and political situation, as Israel had only recently withdrawn troops from Lebanon on the condition that the PLO would follow suit.
He personally led the negotiations with the PLO fighters and their leaders, including Yasser Arafat, who were based in the surrounding regions.
When they met in person at the UN Headquarters in New York, Waldheim offered Rana a tenure extension in lieu of his effective leadership of the UNIFL.
Rana was involved in the minimisation of violence and vandalism which was being carried out by certain reactionary groups of the protest.
During the Third SAARC Summit held in November 1987, as COAS he was in-charge of the overall security, logistics and administration.
In late ‘89 and early ‘90, protests broke out in Kathmandu and in other parts of Nepal in support of a multi-party democratic system.
On 9 April, King Birendra allowed for the establishment of a multi-party democratic system and the creation of a new constitution.
In the new system of governance, King Birendra became a constitutional monarch with a large amount of political power transferring to the elected representatives.
During the drafting of the new constitution, Rana provided suggestions to the then Prime Minister and Defence Minister Krishna Prasad Bhattarai.
During his tenure, he aided in the establishment of the Shree Birendra Army Hospital in the Chauni District of Kathmandu and the Birendra Sainik Awasiya Mahavidyalaya in Bhaktapur.
In 1995, during the 50th Birthday Celebrations of King Birendra, Rana was appointed the Vice Chairman and Treasurer of the Golden Jubilee Birthday Ceremony Committee.
In 2005, when the Seven Party Alliance and 12 Point Agreement was carried out, Rana considered these alliances to be unnatural.
He established the Gurkha Hill Resort, which is still open in the Gorkha Municipal District, and began apple farming in Mangchet, Rasuwa District.
Her mother, Wangari Maathai, is a social, environmental and political activist and the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, in 2004.
Mathai was a student at State House Girls' High School in Nairobi, and after she completed high school she moved to New York City to attend Hobart and William Smith College.
wPOWER promotes women in renewable energy leadership in an effort to bring renewables to almost four million women in East Africa.
Despite the modernisation occurring in Kenya, women still spend several hours a day collecting firewood, and half of all deaths in children under 5 years old occur due to household air pollution.
The foundation looks to advance the legacy of Wangari Maathai by promoting a culture of purpose with young people serving as leaders.
In this capacity Mathai convinced the Kenyan Environment Minister Judi Wakhungu to commit to restoring 12.6 million acres of deforested land in Kenya by 2030, building on her mother's environmental activism legacy.
This is part of the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100), which Mathai oversees, an initiative to restore over 100 million hectares of deforested land in Africa by 2030.
If that's not enough, the studio is trying out the new consiline-hypnosis treatment, which conditions the actors to believe they really are the characters they portray.
And Sasha, a giant anaconda grown to one hundred feet in length with hormones, has been brought in to provide the menace for the current episode.
Series director Eisenhower Lynd tries to keep things light by telling limericks, which Knight later tries to top, drawing a rebuke from Sorokin lest it spoil the actors' indoctrination.
They quarrel, Knight threatening to sack Sorokin as soon as the current series if concluded, and the later rejoining he can put the whole studio out of business with his new drug, somnone-beta, that will indoctrinate audiences with scripts from which they can dream their own adventures.
In maturity he became a mercenary in the service of the tyrannical King Djurk of Djelibin and fell in love with the king's daughter Lululu, thus incurring the king's wrath.
The actors playing King Djurk and his henchman Boger tie up Lululu (Cassia) in the temple set as bait to lure rescuing hero Cornzan into the jaws of the snake.
A month later, the two are rich; to stay in business, the studio is paying them through the nose to suppress Sorokin's patent on the somnone-beta process.
Cassia had thrown Hahn over for Dallas in the wake of the disaster, but found him all looks and no intellect.

Albina (died c. AD 431) was a late Roman religious patron, correspondent of St Augustine and was the mother of Melania the Younger.
Albina was born in Nola, possibly during the AD 360s based on the known date of birth of her daughter Melania in 383.
It's clear from surviving correspondence that Albina was seen as an influential woman in her own right, beyond association with her daughter.
It's clear that Albina is an important part of the religious network in the early fifth century, as she is mentioned in letters, such as Letter 125 from Augustine to Alypius.
Albina alone was addressed by Augustine in Letter 126, which reports on the aftermath of the incident at Thagaste, which is now known as the Pinian Affair.
Historian Peter Brown suggested that one of the reasons Augustine delayed attacking Pelagius until c.415 was because of the closeness of Albina and her family with him.

John Duval Gluck, Jr. (December 25, 1878 - 1951) was an American philanthropist, customs broker, and con artist who is best known for popularizing the practice of sending and answering letters to Santa Claus in New York City.
Gluck's organization, the Santa Claus Association, would receive letters addressed to Santa Claus from impoverished children, investigate them to ensure that they are truly needy, and if approved would sent gifts to those children.
Gluck, who was born on Christmas Day, descended from a line of Santa Claus players, including his grandfather, Johan Baptiste von Gluck who played Santa Claus in Baltimore, Maryland.
The Santa Claus Association, which was founded in December 1913, arose as a result of a policy change by the United States Postal Service.
Gluck contacted Edward M. Morgan, then Postmaster of New York City, with a proposal to set up a not-for-profit organization (the Santa Claus Association), which would receive, verify, and respond to Christmas letters sent by needy children in New York.
Volunteers would spend their time reading and organizing letters while donors (often wealthy businesspersons or other members of the social elite) would fund the gift-giving operations.
The organization quickly grew large, receiving thousands of dollars in donations to pay for supplies, postage, and gifts for needy children.
It also collaborated extensively with major politicians like New York Governor Al Smith and United States President Warren Harding as well as celebrities like Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks.
In 1915, three years after the Association started operating, Gluck announced a plan to build a massive structure called the Santa Claus Building on a 100-foot-wide plot in the middle of New York City.
Though Gluck aggressively fundraised to raise the $300,000 needed to build the project, and even commissioned famous architects George and Edward Blum to design the building, no work was ever done.
Coler uncovered tens of thousands of dollars in unaccounted-for funds as well as a lack of institutional oversight over Gluck's use of donors' funds.
Coler's audit revealed that almost all of the money raised for the Santa Claus Building had been embezzled by Gluck himself, who had also embezzled most of the funds raised to purchase gifts and pay for postage.
The United States Post Office ended its involvement with the Santa Claus Association and eventually developed its own letter-answering service under the auspices of Operation Santa Claus.
After the collapse of the Association, he and his wife moved to Miami, Florida where he became a real estate agent.

He was a strong advocate of metal construction, and his airliners were important in the development of French commercial aviation in the 1930s.
He is especially known for his invention of vectored thrust for aircraft, which led to the development of the V/STOL Hawker Siddeley Harrier.
It was home to the workshops of Louis Breguet whom he met and with whom he later formed a lasting acquaintance.
The Germans took little notice of the disabled young man and, understanding German, he was able to observe the activities and take extensive notes.
In March 1917 Wibault presented a fighter design to Lieutenant-Colonel Émile Dorand, Director of the Technical Section of Military Aeronautics in Paris, and with financial assistance from his maternal uncle, made in December 1917, built a model which was successfully tested in the Eiffel aerodynamic laboratory.
With French engineer Paul Boccaccio, in 1918 he designed and built his first aeroplane, the Wibault-Boccaccio & Cie C.1 fighter powered by a 220hp Hispano-Suiza engine.
Tests were very successful, achieving a top speed of 237km/h and an altitude of 7,500m, but development was abandoned at the end of the war.
In 1919 Wibault founded Société des Avions Michel Wibault at Billancourt, with various aircraft, mostly parasol monoplanes of Duralumin construction, flying from 1920.
As a pioneer of metal construction for which he held patents, he closely followed the design methods of Hugo Junkers and Caudius Dornier.
By 1925 Vickers had adopted Wibault’s construction methods, and produced the Vickers Wibault Scout (based on the Wibault 7) - 26 of which were bought by the Chilean Air Force - the Vickers Vireo and Jockey fighters, and the Viastra, Vellore and Vellox civil transports.
This was the first of a series of airliners that was vitally important to the development of commercial aviation in France in the 1930s.
In 1937 the French Air Ministry awarded Wibault a contract for a large four-engined double-deck airliner carrying up to 72 passengers.
An early version, carrying 25 passengers in some luxury, including a lower deck bar and restaurant was named the Air-Wibault 1.00.
The prototype was completed, but only three engines could be obtained, and it was destroyed in an air raid on the Arsenal works at Villacoublay on 3 June 1940.
On 17 June 1940 Wibault escaped with his wife Marie-Rose from Paris to London where Charles de Gaulle appointed him as technical director of France Forever, a support organisation for de Gaulle in the USA.
Moving to America, Wibault joined Republic Aviation where he worked with the company’s major driving force and chief designer Alexander Kartveli.
Kartveli, a Soviet émigré, had trained at an aviation school in Paris and then worked for Louis Bleriot, and for the Wibault company, leaving for America in 1927, and was a strong proponent of metal construction methods.
While in New York in 1940, Wibault met Winthrop Rockefeller, the billionaire politician and philanthropist, who was to finance Wibault for the rest of his career, mainly through an entity called the Vibrane Corporation which supported him and sponsored his US patent applications.
In 1954, one of his projects was for a vertical take-off and landing ground-attack Gyropter using the most powerful turboshaft engine then available, a Bristol Orion, driving four centrifugal compressors mounted on the sides of the airframe around the centre of gravity.
The compressor outlet nozzles were able to swivel between pointing straight down for take-off and landing, and pointing horizontally backwards for forward flight.
Unable to interest the French government or industry in the idea, in 1955 Wibault submitted it to the NATO Mutual Weapons Development Programme and was subsequently introduced to Stanley Hooker who was then technical director of Bristol Engines.
Soon Wibault agreed to work with Bristol, and they worked to lighten and simplify the engine design, leading to a new patent in 1957, jointly authored by Michel Wibault and Hooker’s assistant, Gordon Lewis.
Meanwhile, Hawker’s chief designer Sidney Camm, noting the success of the Ryan X-13 Vertijet, had developed an interest in VTOL aircraft, which he expressed in a letter to Hooker, and thus the scene was set for the development of the Bristol Siddeley Pegasus engine.

In 2008, Martinez was elected general secretary of the CGT Steelworkers' Federation (FTM-CGT), the third largest federation within the CGT with 60,000 members.
In this respect, he negotiated with the employers within the scope of the reorganisation of the automotive industry, thus showing his ability to discuss by containing the most radical elements of his union.
Even though his team was seen as too close to the previous leading team, it was elected with 57.5 percent of the votes of the National Confederal Committee.
Martinez's partner Nathalie Gamiochipi, who was appointed to call for votes against Martinez, decided to support him with the votes of the CGT Santé, the second largest federation of the CGT with 75,000 members.
Martinez was elected general secretary of the CGT by the National Confederal Committee on February 3, 2015 with 93.4 percent of the votes, and was confirmed to that position by the congress of Marseille in April 2016, after he travelled across France during one year to meet the local sections of the union to strengthen his popularity.
To take account of the growing influence of the ultra-left in the union, Martinez took on a hard line of struggle against employers and liberalism, notably against the Valls government by demanding the withdrawal of the 2016 Labour reform bill, to which the CGT became the main opponent.
Demonstrations were accompanied by blockades of refineries, repetitive strikes in the transport sector, and stoppage of nuclear power plants, which threatened the smooth running of the UEFA Euro 2016 in France.
Faced with the internal oppositions and the decreasing importance of the CGT in the staff representatives elections, this anti-establishment opinion could enable the union to unify the militants and draw benefit from the left-wing voters' dissatisfaction toward the Socialist Party government.
Under Martinez's chairmanship, in March 2017, the CGT became the second most important union in the private sector after the French Democratic Confederation of Labour (CFDT).
However, it remained the largest union in small businesses and in the Civil Service and therefore remained the largest organisation among all wage earners.
Under Martinez's direction, the CGT organised a 36-day strike in the first semester 2018 against the government's reform plans of the SNCF.
When he was elected the general secretary of the CGT, Martinez proposed to reduce the weekly work time to 32 hours to enable the creation of four million new jobs.
He also supports a €1800 gross monthly minimum wage, a 60 years old retirement age, and opposes the payment of dividends to shareholders.
Martinez lives with Nathalie Gamiochipi, former general secretary of the CGT Santé, the second largest federation of the CGT with 75,000 members.

The Cascouia River is a tributary of Kenogami Lake, flowing in the municipality of Larouche in the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality and in the city of Saguenay (city), in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
Recreational and tourist activities are the main economic activity around Cascouia Bay, especially vacationing around Lac du Camp; hydroelectric activities, second; forestry, third.
The surface of the Cascouia River is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from mid-December to mid-March.
Following successive increases in the water level of Kenogami Lake in the early 20th century, Cascouia Bay expanded at the expense of the former Cascouia River, becoming a lake pass.
The old course of the Cascouia River emptied into Epiphanes Bay on the north shore of Kenogami Lake; following the erection of dams on Kenogami River, the old course is largely under the waters of this dam lake.
From the mouth of the Cascouia river, the current crosses the Kenogami Lake for east to the barrage de Portage-des-Roches, then follows the course of the Chicoutimi river on towards the east, then the northeast and the course of the Saguenay river on towards the east up to Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence estuary.
There is a large bay, which is bordered by jongs and grasses, that the Indians call Les Gachek8illaces de Quinongamingue ”.

All Saints Church, Lindfield is a Church of England church in Lindfield, West Sussex, England, built in the Middle Ages in the Early English style.
It was fully restored in the mid 19th Century, largely thanks to the efforts of the curate Reverend Francis Hill Sewell, a Cambridge graduate who remained the incumbent at Lindfield until his death in 1862.
Lindfield first appeared as Lindefeldia, 'open land with lime trees', in a Saxon charter of 765 AD, in which King Ealdwulf granted lands for the building of a Minster church, which may be on the same site as the present church.
In 1150 Archbishop Theobald confirmed the grant of the Manor of Lindfield and its land to the College of Canons at South Malling, near Lewes, whose Dean - as the archbishop's representative - became the Rector of the church.
The post required him to be resident in Lindfield for at least three months of the year, and to direct necessary repairs to the church.
The West Tower also dates from the 14th Century, and was built in three stages with a trefoiled window to the west on the bottom stage, a lancet window to the middle stage and an oculus window to the top stage.
In 1758 records from Lambeth Palace show that the then curate stated that he was allowed just £20 per year, that this was inadequate, and he appealed to the Archbishop for an increase - which was rejected.
This sorry state of affairs changed in 1841 with the arrival of the Reverend Francis Hill Sewell as Curate, a Cambridge graduate who remained the incumbent at Lindfield until his death in 1862.

It is set within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness on land managed by Wenatchee National Forest, which is part of the Cascade Range.
The mountain was named in the 1890s for brothers John, Tom, Vic, and Lawrie Denny, miners who lived in a cabin at the base of the four peaks.
As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades (Orographic lift).
As a result, the west side of the Cascades experiences high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall.
During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but, due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer.
The Alpine Lakes Wilderness features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite walls spotted with over 700 mountain lakes.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to the various climate differences.
In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
The last glacial retreat in the Alpine Lakes area began about 14,000 years ago and was north of the Canada–US border by 10,000 years ago.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area.
It was founded by social media personalities DeStorm Power, Amanda Cerny, King Bach, and television producer Lemuel Plummer, who serves as president and CEO.

She joined the École normale supérieure de Lyon physics laboratory, where she studied wetting phenomena at the microscopic level and the effects of humidity on granular media.
At LPMCN, she researched fluid dynamics at nanoscales (nanofluidics) which progressed following the construction of an original surface forces measuring apparatus in 2002, which was developed with Jérôme Crassous and ; the apparatus uses a combination of capacitance and interferometry to measure the forces, with which important data was found concerning the link between wettability and hydrodynamic conditions at solid-fluid interfaces..
She was able to show that nanohydrodynamic measurements make it possible to have access to the mechanical properties of surfaces without solid contact and she highlighted the advantage and convenience of confining surfaces during nanorheology experiments.
As well as analysing various properties related to capillary adhesion and the sub-nanometre properties of bubbles and thin films, for example, her teams have also discovered properties relating to energy storage in hydrophobic pores in powders.

GVK EMRI is an Indian not-for-profit organisation and the largest ambulatory care provider in the world, providing emergency medical services coverage to 800 million people across India and Sri Lanka.
Dr. AP Ranga Rao is credited with first conceptualizing 108 ambulance services in India, having spent 10 years working with the National Health Service (NHS) in Britain learning about emergency systems.
In January 2005, the CEO of an Indian-based, German multinational corporation, Venkat Changavalli, invited Ramalinga Raju, the Chairman of Satyam Computer Services at the time, to be the chief guest at a business conference.
After the conference, Raju proposed creating an emergency medical services organization for India, and the Satyam Foundation began initial its operations.
When Raju was imprisoned for corporate fraud in January 2009, Changavalli had grown EMRI to eight states across India as CEO.
In 2015, GVK EMRI signed an MoU to expand its operations to Sri Lanka, and had expanded there by the end of the year.
GVK EMRI's service has grown to 16 states and a fleet of 10,000 ambulances and 47,000 employees, becoming recognized as the world's largest ambulatory provider, providing emergency medical coverage to 800 million people.
GVK EMRI's 27 dispatch centers receive 130,000 calls per day, to which GVK EMRI emergency medical providers respond to 80,000 emergency calls and assist with 200 childbirths per day, claiming to save 800 lives daily.
GVK EMRI said its service saved more than 1.5 million lives between 2005 and 2015, though no outside entity has verified its claim.
To enhance efficiency, GVK EMRI centralized and vertically integrated dispatchers at call centers with the prehospital emergency care providers, dissimilar to American 911 models in which dispatch centers may be distinct from the organizations providing care.
GVK EMRI has partnered with Stanford Medicine faculty to conduct needs assessments and improve the quality of emergency care, as well as faculty from Michigan Medicine to conduct trainings of laypeople and develop specific trauma resuscitation protocols, while training educators and researching emergency stabilization centers.

A simple round cap, the Welsh Wig had a distinctive long back of soft wool to keep the neck warm, which often approximated the appearance of long curly hair.
During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries areas like Monmouthshire and West Glamorgan were famous for quality wool, and Wales gained an international renown for high quality woollen products such as caps.
Welsh goods during this era were produced on an semi-industrial scale, with varieties of woollen caps, such as the iconic Monmouth Cap being obvious progenitors to the Welsh Wig.
Though it is unknown how early the distinctive Welsh Wigs began production, they were well known throughout Great Britain by the eighteenth century.
The Welsh woollen industry was in sharp decline by the early nineteenth century, with the newly industrialised woollen mills of Northern England now dominating the British market and fluctuations in European trade of the Napoleonic Era proving particularly challenging.
The decline was reversed when the new industrial populations of Wales demanded specific woollen goods for working life in the mid-late nineteenth century.
The Welsh Wig, the Crys Fach (a short fronted metallurgical workers shirt), coal miners underpants, shawls, bedgowns and the newly popularised Traditional Welsh costume, all maintained and grew the Welsh wool industry.
The Welsh Wig was prized for its excellent protection against the elements, providing a shield against the wind on the back of the neck.

Alijah Holder (born January 26, 1996) is an American football cornerback for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL).
He was the abbot of Rivalta from 1180 until 1185, abbot of Lucedio (as Peter II) from 1185 until 1205, abbot of La Ferté (as Peter II) from 1205 until 1206, bishop of Ivrea from 1206 until 1209 and patriarch of Antioch (as Peter II) from 1209 until his death.
He was on especially good terms with Pope Innocent III, in whose general reform of the clergy in Lombardy he played a major role.
He participated in the Fourth Crusade and the establishment of the Latin Empire of Constantinople (1201–1205) and in the preaching of the next crusade in Lombardy (1208–1209).
Peter was born probably in the 1140s into a family of feudatories of the bishop of Vercelli associated with the town of Magnano.
In January 1180 he became the first abbot of San Giovanni di Rivalta Scrivia, a church that became with Peter's appointment a daughter house of Lucedio and a subject also of the bishop of Tortona.
He obtained privileges of protection and confirmation from Popes Urban III (11 January 1186), Clement III (May 1188) and Celestine III (1192).
In April 1186, he obtained from Milo, bishop of Turin, an exemption from the tolls of Rivoli for the abbey's subjects.
He built up the manors of Montarolo, , Ramazzana, , Cornale and Gazzo in the region of Vercelli and won a dispute over property with the monastery of San Genuario.
In 1193, when Boniface needed money, Peter gave him a loan with the forest surrounding the monastery serving as a pledge.
Owing to his skills as an administrator, Peter served several times as a papal judge-delegate alongside Bishop Albert of Vercelli in the 1190s.
On 20 July 1191, Albert and Peter handed down a judgement in favour of the cathedral of Genoa against the church of Santa Maria di Castello.
Sometime between 1195 and 1198, Albert and Peter settled a dispute between the canonry of Oulx and the monastery of San Giusto di Susa in favour of the former.
Pope Innocent III made extensive use of Peter in Lombardy between September 1198 and 1201, often without Albert of Vercelli by his side.
In 1200, alongside Boiamondo, abbot of Chiaravalle della Colomba, he settled a property dispute between the bishop of Tortona and the Humiliati on the one side and the Knights Templar on the other.
He was with Boniface at Soissons in the summer, where the marquis formally made his crusading vow before the assembling French army.
In September 1201, he was at Cîteaux to obtain the permission of the general chapter to go on the crusade with Boniface.
There he presumably took a formal crusader's vow, although the record of the general chapter meeting does not list him among the abbots permitted to go on the crusade.
It is not certain if Peter arrived in Venice before the army embarked, at Zadar before or during the siege or after the surrender of the city.
It has been alleged that he deliberately withheld the letter from the army, but this is unlikely, since Peter retained the confidence of Innocent III until the pope's death.
It is more likely that he gave the letter to Abbot Guy of Vaux-de-Cernay in Venice and that Guy read the letter before the leadership at Zadar.
With Cardinal Soffredo of Santa Prassede, he convinced Boniface's new Greek wife, Maria, widow of Emperor Isaac II, to convert to the Catholic faith.
In a letter addressed to the pope on 25 August 1203, the Emperor Alexius IV credited Peter, whose zeal he praises, as one of several who persuaded him to restore communion between the Eastern and Western churches.
Boniface rewarded Peter by granting him monastery of Chortaiton as a dependency of Lucedio, but Peter was called away by Innocent III in March 1205 to mediate between King Leo I of Armenia and Count Bohemond of Tripoli, who were disputing the succession to the Principality of Antioch.
Peter returned to western Europe in 1205, after receiving news of his election as abbot of La Ferté, the mother house of Lucedio.
He did not hold the abbacy for long, because he was elected to the bishopric of Ivrea in February or March 1206.
He left La Ferté and took up his post in Ivrea, but as soon as he realized its poor financial situation he abandoned the diocese without informing the cathedral chapter, intending to take up life in a hermitage.
As bishop, Peter mediated between the counts of Biandrate and the commune of Ivrea concerning some tolls, while at the same time protecting the rights of the diocese and of his old monastery, Lucedio, which had been granted toll exemptions by the counts.
In this capacity, Peter worked with Albert's successor at Vercelli, Lotario Rosario, and Gerardo da Sesso, abbot of Tiglieto (a sister house of Lucedio).
Together they imposed sanctions on the consuls of the city of Piacenza for having exiled their bishop, Crimerio, for unpaid debts.
In November 1208, he was back in Piacenza with Gerardo and Archbishop Umberto IV of Milan to depose Crimerio for having given in to the consuls' demands.
He also charged Peter, Gerardo and Bishop Sicard of Cremona with preaching a new crusade in Lombardy, which ultimately became the Fifth Crusade.
In early 1209, Peter I, patriarch of Antioch, died, having been imprisoned by Bohemond during the succession dispute that Peter had been unable to resolve back in 1205.
Innocent left the choice of a successor to the patriarch of Jerusalem, who happened to be Peter's predecessor, Albert of Vercelli.
There Innocent entrusted him with letters addressed to the cathedral chapter of Antioch, the clergy of the patriarchate and the garrison of Cursat Castle.
A planned arbitration in August 1210 never came to fruition because Sicard of Cremona, one of the arbitrators, failed to come east.
The king had arranged for the election of a rival patriarch, who was deposed by Albert of Jerusalem on the pope's orders.
The date of his death is given as 2 September in the necrology of Lucedio and it is known that an election for his successor had taken place by 31 August 1217, when Pope Honorius III annulled the choice of Pelagius of Albano and ordered a new election.

The Battle of Río Grande was a small military engagement that took place on 10 September 1879, during the War of the Pacific.
In the first months of war the Chilean government took into account the possibility of a Bolivian offensive, with the support of Peru, which in April would enter the war as an ally of Bolivia.
In fact, in the Altiplano, a Military Division was being prepared for that purpose, under the command of General Narciso Campero.
But Chilean forces stationed in the area had to face the Bolivian locals, who were organized in montoneras to resist the occupation, hoping to see the Campero Division arrive.
Some Bolivians defeated in Calama dispersed through San Pedro de Atacama and then grouped with the locals, forming a montonera of forty men moderately armed with rifles.
This Bolivian force was led by Toribio Gómez, from San Pedro de Atacama, and by the indigenous chief Jaime Ayo, from Río Grande.
On 6 September, in one of the raids of the Bolivian montonera, the Chilean arriero Francisco Vilches was taken prisoner by these near San Pedro de Atacama, but managed to escape by the pleas of a woman when they wanted to execute him.
At dawn the next day, Toro and his forces arrive at the entrance of a rough hillside in the gorge of Rio Grande, where Bolivians were hiding on top among huge rocks.
When the Chileans advanced to the hillside, the Bolivians attacked them by surprise from their positions at the top, making concentrated shots and throwing large stones that slide from the top.
The noise of the stones that fell from the top of the hillside scared the horses that the Chileans rode, causing several of them to be knocked down from the chair and others wounded by the falling stones.
But the Chileans, encouraged by a brief harangue, advanced on foot against the Bolivians and defeated them in the defensive positions they occupied.
For their part, the Bolivians had thirteen dead in the fight, including their bosses Gómez and Ayo, and the rest dispersed.
After the battle, the Sub-delegate Toro returned with his forces to San Pedro de Atacama, bringing with him a booty, which included; 200 lambs, 160 goats and 20 donkeys.
The Campero division was never able to carry out the offensive against Chileans in the Loa, due to logistical limitations and also to the geographical conditions in the area.

Sidorov failed, however, to be elected a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, despite a space being made available for him, a result that V. V. Tikhonov in 2011 and Isaak Mints in his diary attributed to Sidorov having made too many enemies through his past ideological zeal but that Sidorov blamed on Mints blocking him from the position.
Sidorov's research was into the history of capitalism in Russia which he concluded had developed largely independently of the rest of Europe without the help of foreign investment.

Amanullah loyalism refers to several historical movements in the Kingdom of Afghanistan to restore Amanullah Khan as king of Afghanistan after he was deposed in January 1929 during the Afghan Civil War.
These movements were unsuccessful, and Amanullah died in exile in 1960 in Zürich, Switzerland without ever regaining control, other than a brief period of control in southern Afghanistan in the 1929 Afghan Civil War.
In March 1929, during the 1929 Afghan Civil War, Amanullah assembled an army in Kandahar made up of Durrani, Khattak, Ghilzai and Hazarah fighters.

It began in February 1930, when rebels seeking to restore Amanullah Khan as King of Afghanistan broke out in open rebellion against Mohammed Nadir Shah.
At his instigation a number of tribesmen took arms with the intention of marching on Kabul, and they received considerable reinforcements from the Wazir and Mahsud tribes across the Indian border.
They met the government troops which were sent south to oppose them in the neighbourhood of Matun, and some sharp fighting takes place at the end of February and beginning of March.
The tribesmen from across the border then began to withdraw at the bidding of some of their elders who were sent by the British authorities to recall them, and the uprising soon came to an end.
A relative of Amanullah, Said al-Kailani, also known as the Shami Pir marched on Kabul with an unknown amount of Ghilzai warriors.
There are 2 accounts as to how the rebellion ended - according to British records, the rebellion was defeated in the summer of 1938 by the Afghan army using British-supplied rifles.
According to Harvey Smith, the rebellion ended after the British bought off Shami Pir following frantic appeals by the Afghan government.

Tuarii or Tūari'i (died 1911) was the Queen regnant of Raiatea and Tahaa in the Leeward Islands of the Society Islands, part of present-day French Polynesia.
She and the minor chief Teraupo'o led a resistance government in the Raiatean rebellion (1887–1897) which was part of the larger French conquest and annexation of the Leeward Islands.
Her grandfather Hihipa Tahitoe was the son of Vete'a-ra'i U'uru, the chief of Opoa, and grandson of King Tamatoa II of Raiatea from whom her family claimed the right to throne of Raiatea.
Tahitoe was deposed by his subjects for requesting the protectorate and his daughter and successor Queen Tehauroa unsuccessfully attempted to enlist the protection of the British to preserve the independence of Raiatea in accordance with the Jarnac Convention of 1847.
To avoid French intervention a female-line cousin and a junior member of the royal family of Huahine was installed as King Tamatoa VI.
On 16 March 1888, the French annexed Raiatea and Tahaa after formal negotiation between Great Britain and France ended the 1847 Convention.
In 1887 or 1888, Tuarii was installed on the throne by the rebel chief Teraupo’o in opposition to King Tamatoa VI who had sided with the French.
In 1895, Queen Tuarii traveled to the British protectorate of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands to seek help from the British Resident Frederick Moss who refused to meet with her.
Teraupo'o and the rebels of Tahaa and the district of Tevaitoa refused the call to surrender and the rebellion ended after the rebel chief's captured after two months of guerilla warfare on 16 February 1897.

The events of the Palau de la Música took place in the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona on 19 May 1960 during a celebration to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Catalan poet Joan Maragall.
These events are considered to mark the revitalization of Catalan activism after the Spanish Civil War and the beginning of the political career of Jordi Pujol, who would eventually become President of the Generalitat de Catalunya.
The importance of these events go far beyond from music, particularly because of the remarkable reaction of the public after the government banned the Cant de la Senyera from being sung at the event.
Even though he was not in the venue, he helped organise the protest and was found guilty by a military court and sent to prison.
Franco's dictatorship always paid special attention to repressing any pro-Catalan expression, both of the Catalan language and the symbols of the country.
However, after the regime's consolidation in the 50s the government planned some concessions sponsored by the mayor of Barcelona at the time, Josep Maria de Porcioles.
They announced the concession of a Chart that would allow the city a certain level of self-government, the cession of the castle of Montjuïc to the local concil, a compillation of Catalan Civil Law, and the official celebration to mark the 100th anniversary of Catalan poet and writer Joan Maragall birthdate.
These gestures became evidently a farce as the governor of Barcelona, Felipe Acedo Colunga, banned the Cant de la Senyera from being sung.
Joan Maragall was in fact the author of the actual poem and it had been initially scheduled at the end of the event, as it tradtitionally was by the Orfeó at the end of every concert.
Activists from an organisation called Catalan Christians organised a protest that was to take place on the same day as the concert to celebrate Joan Maragall, 19 May 1960.
As soon as the event started, a group of young people stood up and started singing the Cant de la Senyera while spreading a particular anti-Franco cartoon that had been created as a reaction to Franco's visit to the city, that had taken place a few days earlier.

Novel Baswedan (born 22 June 1977) is an Indonesian investigator working for the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and a former officer of the Indonesian Police (Polri).
During his early education, his family's economic situation necessitated him to work as a construction worker while studying in junior high school, though he had reportedly desired to become a police officer from his youth.
After graduating from highschool in Semarang, he initially intended to enroll at a university in Surakarta, but cancelled it due to financial reasons and he instead joined the Police Academy.
After his graduation, Baswedan was assigned to Bengkulu, where he was involved in a number of cases including a forestry and an illegal gambling case.
Four days after his promotion, an incident occurred where police officers under his command abused suspects in a theft case - Baswedan was investigated for ethical violations and later received a reprimand, though he remained in his office until October 2005.
At KPK, Baswedan handled several high-profile cases, including the arrest of for graft related to the 2011 Southeast Asian Games, a bribery case during the election of a deputy governor for Bank Indonesia, bribery of Constitutional Court chief justice Akil Mochtar, and others.
Following a KPK investigation of alleged corruption within the police, which named a police general as suspect, Baswedan was investigated by the police in retaliation.
On 5 October 2012, police officers (from Bengkulu) went to the KPK building in order to arrest Baswedan, accusing him of having conducted violence during interrogation procedures in the 2004 theft case.
Within hours of the initial attempt, civilian activists formed a human chain around the KPK building in order to prevent police from arresting Baswedan, launched a social media campaign, and held demonstrations which successfully pressured President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to order the ceasing of Baswedan's investigation by the police and allow the police general to be prosecuted by KPK.
Novel did not respond to two summons that month (from which KPK's acting president had prohibited Baswedan from complying with) and he was arrested in his home on 1 May 2015.
He was briefly detained, but he was released shortly afterwards and by 3 May he was giving interviews criticizing the police's actions, referring to them as a form of revenge.
The Indonesian Ombudsman later published a recommendation which named maladministrative practices by the police during Baswedan's investigation, which included falsification of documents and deviation from procedure.
On 11 April 2017, two men threw acid at Baswedan's face close to his home, during a high-profile investigation of alleged corruption in the Electronic Identity Card (e-KTP) project which involved among others Speaker of the People's Representative Council Setya Novanto.
After around three months of investigation by police which yielded no results, Police Chief Tito Karnavian agreed to form a joint investigative team with KPK, following a meeting with President Joko Widodo.
Baswedan returned from medical treatment on February 2018, and by July 2018 he had returned to his previous work as the head of the investigation task force.
After over two years of investigation, Widodo gave a one-month deadline to newly appointed police chief Idham Azis to solve the Baswedan case on 1 November 2019.
Baswedan is the grandson of journalist and politician Abdurrahman Baswedan, and is the first cousin of 17th Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan.

Quarry Moor is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, or SSSI, at the south edge of Ripon, North Yorkshire, England, and adjacent to the A61 road.
The land was donated in 1945 to the people of Ripon by the town's mayor, Alderman Thomas Fowler Spence, a varnish manufacturer.
Therefore, its calcareous grass area is fenced off for protection and study, but it also contains a car park, information signs, a children's play area, accessible paths, benches, and dog waste bins.
The strata of the quarry face at the western side of the Quarry Moor site are the remains of a Permian shoreline of 255 million years past.
Sediments from the tropical Zechstein Sea ultimately became the Magnesian Limestone outcrop of north-east England, part of which is exposed here.
For example, in the 15th century the walls of the 12th century Chapel of St Mary Magdalene, Ripon, were refaced with blocks of limestone from Quarry Moor.
In this area there is water-soluble gypsum mixed with the limestone deposits, and the occasional collapse of cavities left by this gypsum layer has been blamed for the local sinkholes which have been appearing for centuries past.
Thomas Fowler Spence (1878–1949) lived at Red Hills Grange, was Mayor of Ripon between 1927 and 1929, and was managing director of T.R.
Facilities include information boards, accessible paths, informal paths, benches, and dog toilet bins, besides a fenced-off wildflower meadow, and a children's play area in the north-east corner with a public car park.
The site was notified on 1 May 1986, being of interest for the large number of plant species supported by the calcareous grassland habitat.
Quarry Moor is funded by Natural England, via Defra Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund, Harrogate Borough Council, Ripon City Partnership and (until 2012) Yorkshire Forward.
On the chalky grassland, alongside sheep's fescue and meadow oat-grass, grow rough hawkbit, hoary plantain, purging flax, thyme, glaucous sedge, yellow oat, quaking grass and red fescue.
For example, there are various herbs: common spotted-orchid, great burnet, restharrow, marjoram, cowslip, hay rattle, greater burnet-saxifrage, basil, cross-wort, ox-eye daisy, knapweed, self-heal, lady's bedstraw, bird's-foot trefoil and primrose, all growing alongside slender false-broom and false-oat grass.
Maintenance of this section is needed to prevent the growth of rank grass and scrub, which would eventually dominate the area and affect the site's biodiversity.
Thus traditional hay cutting is carried out, and the grassland is grazed by ponies, cattle and native sheep such as Hebrideans.
When the calcareous grassland of this site was assessed for Natural England in 2011 it was judged to be in favourable condition, although the biodiversity was borderline, and scrub (hawthorn and ivy) was beginning to encroach on the grassland.

At the time of his gala, he had led the Met in 1,646 performances of sixty-eight operas, twenty-one of which he had introduced into the company's repertoire.
Its television broadcast was sponsored by Mrs Harrington, the Texaco Philanthropic Foundation, Inc., and the National Endowment For the Arts, in association with Deutsche Grammophon, the United Kingdom's BBC Worldwide Television, Japan's NHK, Holland's Nederlandse Programma Stichting, Denmark's Danmarks Radio, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Sweden's Sveriges Television.
On the last occasion on which Nilsson had appeared at the Met, in its 1983 Centennial Gala, she had sung Isolde's Narrative and Curse.
Not all the most distinguished opera singers were present: José Carreras had a previous commitment, Montserrat Caballé, Marilyn Horne and Teresa Stratas were ill and Kathleen Battle had been fired from the Met in 1994.
Dominated by Mozart, Verdi and Wagner, the gala's programme was typical of the repertoire of the Levine era but lacked any unifying theme otherwise.
Of especial interest were two prominent up and coming artists, Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu [appearing one day after their wedding].
Its programme booklet's cancellation list alone deserved a mention in The Guinness Book of Records, with Cecilia Bartoli, Hildegard Behrens, Nicolai Ghiaurov, Marilyn Horne and Luciano Pavarotti all pleading illness.
There was no doubt that the gala must have been a delightful celebration, but the wisest rule for such events was to record them in one's memory rather than on tape.
Indeed, the playing of the Met orchestra was more enjoyable to listen to than any of the singers, and both were surpassed by the album's closing speech by Birgit Nilsson.
The gala was televised in a live transmission on PBS, and was also broadcast in Australia, Denmark, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
Thirteen excerpts were released on a 72-minute CD (catalogue number 449-177-2), accompanied by a 24-page insert booklet with an essay by Cory Ellison in English, French, German and Italian, and with production photographs of Alagna, Terfel, Fleming, Domingo, Ramey, Cotrubas, Zajick, Te Kanawa, Hong, Hadley, Robbins, Swenson, Mattila, Hagegård, Kraus, Bumbry, Voigt, von Stade, von Otter, Murphy, Nilsson and Levine.
Twenty excerpts were issued on a 161-minute pair of CLV (constant linear velocity) CX-encoded Laserdiscs (catalogue number 072-551-1) with 4:3 NTSC colour video and digital audio.
In 2005, Deutsche Grammophon released thirty-three excerpts from the gala on a 293-minute pair of DVDs (catalogue number B0004602-09), with 4:3 NTSC colour video and audio in PCM stereo and an ersatz 5.1-channel surround sound upmix in both DTS and Dolby Digital.
The DVDs include an interview with Levine, a picture gallery and trailers, and are accompanied by a 12-page insert booklet with an essay by Kenneth Chalmers in English only.
Kao: Gentleman Spymaster is a biography of Rameshwar Nath Kao, the founding chief of India's external intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW).
Through interviews with people who worked with Kao or were trained by him, Kao's declassified recordings and other official documents, meetings with his family, Gokhale managed to complete the book in 65 days.
Through the life of RN Kao, the book is a view into how the people and organisations that protect India's national interests were built.
Gokhale writes about Kao's early years including the early death of his father, his university years all the way to his entrance into the police world in 1940 to 1947 when he joined the Intelligence Bureau, where his responsibilities included the security of the Prime Minister and foreign leaders visiting India.
His major assignments such as the crash of Kashmir Princess are brought alive in the book, where Kao's interactions with the first Chinese premier Zhou Enlai are insightful.
Gokhale goes on to describe successful Indian – US cooperation in intelligence, where Kao was in charge of setting up the Aviation Research Centre with US assistance.
Gokhale goes on to write about the causes the led up to the formation of R&AW and the circumstances under which Kao was made the first chief.
It was here that Kao's abilities were fully visible, overseeing the merger of Sikkim and the partition of Pakistan, something which both the people of Sikkim and Bangladesh wanted respectively.
A book discussion and launch also took place on 21 December 2019 in College of Engineering, Pune which was attended by Lt. Gen. Manoj Mukund Naravane (the then Chief of Army-designate), Vappala Balachandran (former Special Secretary, R&AW who worked with Kao) and Jayant Umranikar (former DGP Maharashtra and R&AW officer).
It is native to the lowlands of Western Europe and Central Asia, but in the United Kingdom it is a rare and protected plant, growing only in Yorkshire, on grassland sites such as Quarry Moor.
It is a herbaceous and self-supporting plant with simple broad, scale-like leaves, normally growing up to , and it flowers between May and July.
In general it is a lowland plant which grows on the edges of rivers and roads, and on floodplains, preferring grassland.
It was notified in 1989 on Hook Moor SSSI, where Natural England suggests that rabbit activity is beneficial to the survival of this plant.

The Franchère Lake (French: Lac Franchère) is a fresh water body located in the head zone of the rivière aux Écorces du Milieu, in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, Canada.
The surface of Lac Franchère is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March.
This lake is mainly supplied by the outlet of Lac Ballon, as well as the outlet of Lakes Day and Germain.
Its native distribution ranges from the Canary Islands through Europe, northern Africa and Western Asia to the west Himalayas in the Indian subcontinent.
In machine learning, a given algorithm is said to be fair, or to have fairness if its results are independent of some variables we consider to be sensitive and not related with it (f.e.
However, the main progress in this area is that some big corporations are realising the importance the reduction of algorithm bias will have on the society.
In classification problems, an algorithm learns a function to predict a discrete characteristic formula_1, the target variable, from known characteristics formula_2.
We model formula_3 as a discrete random variable which encodes some characteristics contained or implicitly encoded in formula_2 that we consider as sensitive characteristics (gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.).
Now let us define three main criteria to evaluate if a given classifier is fair, that is, if its predictions are not influenced by some of this sensitive variables.
We say the random variables formula_6 satisfy independence if the sensitive characteristics formula_3 are statistically independent to the prediction formula_5, and we write formula_9.
This means that the probability of being classified by the algorithm in each of the groups is equal for two individuals with different sensitive characteristics.
We say the random variables formula_18 satisfy separation if the sensitive characteristics formula_3 are statistically independent to the prediction formula_5 given the target value formula_1, and we write formula_22.
This means that the probability of being classified by the algorithm in each of the groups is equal for two individuals with different sensitive characteristics given that they actually belong in the same group (have the same target variable).
Finally, a possible relaxation of the given definitions is the difference between rates to be a positive number lower than a given slack formula_15, instead of equals to zero.
We say the random variables formula_18 satisfy sufficiency if the sensitive characteristics formula_3 are statistically independent to the target value formula_1 given the prediction formula_5, and we write formula_31.
This means that the probability of actually being in each of the groups is equal for two individuals with different sensitive characteristics given that they were predicted to belong to the same group.
The following criteria can be understood as measures of the three definitions given on the first section, or a relaxation of them.
Fairness can be applied to machine learning algorithms in three different ways: preprocessing the data used in the algorithm, optimization during the training, or post-processing the answers of the algorithm.
That is, an approximation to the difference between the probabilities of belonging in the positive class given that the subject has a protected characteristic different from formula_88 and equal to formula_88.
Algorithms correcting bias at preprocessing remove information concerning variables in the dataset which can result in unfair decisions of the AI, while trying to alter just the bare minimum of this data.
This is not as easy as just removing the sensitive variable, because other attributes can be related to the protected one.
A way to do this is by mapping each individual in the initial dataset into an intermediate representation in which its impossible to identify if it belongs to a particular protected group, while maintaining as much information as possible.
This way, individuals are mapped into a new multivariable representation where the probability of any member of a protected group to be mapped to a certain value in the new representation is the same as the probability of an individual which doesn't belong to the protected group.
As the intermediate representation is constructed giving the same probability to individuals inside or outside the protected group, this attribute is hidden to the classificator.
In the process, the system is encouraged to preserve all the information except those that can lead to biased decisions, and to obtain a prediction as accurate as possible.
On the one hand, this procedure has the advantage that the preprocessed data can be used for any machine learning task.
The idea is to assign a weight to each dataset point such that the weighted discrimination is 0 with respect to the designated group.
These constraints force the algorithm to improve fairness, by keeping the same rates of certain measures for the protected group and the rest of individuals.
For example, we can add to the objective of the algorithm the condition that the false positive rate is the same for individuals in the protected group and the ones outside the protected group.
Note that the equality of false negative rates implies the equality of true positive rates so this implies the equality of opportunity.
This technique obtains good results in improving fairness while keeping high accuracy, and lets the programmer to choose the fairness measures to improve.
However, each machine learning task may need a different method to be applied and the code in the classifier needs to be modified, which is not always possible.
An important point here is that, in order to propagate correctly, formula_106 above must refer to the raw output of the classifier, not the discrete prediction; for example, with an [[artificial neural network]] and a classification problem, formula_106 could refer to the output of the softmax layer.
In this method we have a classifier which returns a score for each individual and we need to do a binary prediction for them.
High scores are likely to get a positive answer, while low scores are likely to get a negative answer, but we need to adjust the threshold to determine when to answer yes or no depending on our needs.
If the score function is fair in the sense that it's independent of the protected attribute, then any choice of the threshold will also be fair, but this type of classifiers tend to be biased, so we may need to set a different threshold for each protected group to achieve fairness.
A way to do this is plotting the true positive rate against the false negative rate at various threshold settings (this is called ROC curve) and check which threshold satisfies that the rates are equal for the protected group and the rest of the individuals.
The advantages of postprocessing include that the technique can be applied after any classifiers, without modifying it, and has a good performance in fairness measures.
The cons are the need to access to the protected attribute in test time and the lack of choice in the balance between accuracy and fairness.
Given a [[Statistical classification|classifier]] let formula_123 be the probability computed by the classifiers as the probability that the instance formula_2 belongs to the positive class +.
When formula_123 is close to 1 or to 0, the instance formula_2 is specified with high degree of certainty to belong to class + or - respectively.
We can optimize different measures of discrimination (link) as functions of formula_130 to find the optimal formula_130 for each problem and avoid becoming discriminatory against the privileged group.
Baya Jurquet (born 9 April 1920 in Algiers, Algeria - died 7 July 2007 in Marseille) was an antiracist and anti-colonial activist and feminist.
Born in 1920 in Algeria at the time when it was still a colony, she therefore had French nationality obtained by her father as a wounded veteran from the great war under the Clemenceau decree.
Due to the perseverance of her father she schooled at the French school until she was 11 years old, at 14 she was married to her cousin who was 4 years older, under a customary arrangement where she acquired the name Baya Allaouchiche.
She lead on the struggles of her early life about the gender inequalities that existed at the time and for the independence of Algeria and for a more equitable world through her communist values.
She was a member of the central committee of the Algerian Communist Party (PCA) clandestine, which advocated for the right of Algerian women and their independence.
She was also the secretary of the Women's Union of Algeria where she represents her country at numerous international conferences of communist women.
During the national liberation revolution of the Algerian people, in 1955, she organized demonstrations of women prisoners and was later imprisoned in France in 1956.
She then settled in Marseille but she did not give up the struggle for independent Algeria, especially by serving as a relay to the FLN and support for French militants committed alongside Algerian fighters.
In 1959 she met the founder of the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party of France, Jacques Jurquet, who was also an anti-colonialist and anti-racist, who would later become his companion.
She was elected general secretary of the Union of Algerian women in 1949 and member of the central committee of the Algerian Communist Party (PCA), which mobilizes various audiences in Kabyle, Arabic, and French, it remains in contact with the FLN.
He had his book accepted into the Library of Congress, and was honored with a proclamation from the Mayor and city council of Snellville, and honoured by the Ghanaian Embassy in Washington, DC.

A native of Montreal, Joseph-Charles Franchère studied painting at Conseil des arts et manufactures de la Province de Quebec, with Joseph Chabert and François-Xavier-Édouard Meloche.
Franchère notably painted for the chapel of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart of the basilica of Our Lady of Montreal.
It is named after the first collection to which it belonged, the Marteau collection in Brussels, Belgium, although it is now in a private collection in Japan, belonging to the Agonshū sect of Buddhism.
The precise location where the statue was discovered is unknown, but it was acquired in Peshawar, and it is thought to have been excavated in Sahri Bahlol due to its similarity with , now in the Peshawar Museum.
The statue is remarkable in that it is one the rare Gandhara Buddhist statues to bear a dedication with a date.
However, the advanced character of the iconography has led some authors to support a later date, based on a supposed second Kanishka era starting a century later or a theory according to which the hundreds would have been omitted from the date.
Some much later dates have been suggested as well, for example a date in the Huna era of Khingila, which would give a period circa the 5th century CE, but such a date can be considered as too late.
A date in the Gupta era has also been suggested, but there is no evidence of the Gupta era being used so far north.
This dated sculpture suggests that the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara was already at a very advanced stage of sophistication at the beginning of the Kushan period, in the early 2nd century CE, implying the existence of a long preliminary tradition leading up to it.

Victor King McElheny (born 6 September 1935) is an American science writer and journalist, who has covered a wide variety of topics, including the Apollo lunar landing program, molecular biology, astronomy, science in Antarctica, and environmental issues.
From 1972 to 1973 he worked for the Polaroid Corporation as a consultant and historian, describing the SX-70 integral instant color photography system and preparing reports on automation study.
The day after Watson received word from Stockholm that he would share in that year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, he lectured in George Wald’s Natural Sciences 5 class about modern biology.
McElheny was several times at Cold Spring Harbor for scientific meetings and meals at the Watsons’ home, and chaired public policy sessions at a 1976 conference on environmental sources of cancer.
He was charged with organizing approximately 20 conferences on environmental health risks, and publishing (as the chief editor) 12 books from the conferences.
Victor McElheny and his wife Ruth attended celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the double helix at the Waldorf Astoria New York in 2003, Watson’s 80th birthday in 2008, and his 90th in 2018.
In 1982 McElheny joined MIT to create a fellowships program with funding from the Sloan Foundation and the Mellon Foundation; the fellowships program (MIT Knight Science Journal Fellowships) is administered by the Program in Science, Technology, and Society and was headed by McElheny from 1982 to 1998.
As first director of what became the Knight Science Journalism program, he oversaw the program's permanent endowment through donations of $8.25 miliion over eight years from the Knight Foundation, supplemented by $2.5 million from other MIT donors to match the $5 million Knight endowment challenge.
Victor McElheny and his wife Ruth, along with a grant from the Rita Allen Foundation, funded MIT's Victor K. McElheny Award.
Victor McElheny and Brenda Maddox were panelists at a 2003 symposium at the Centre for Life in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
McElheny met Hilary Rose and her husband Steven in London in the 1960s and greatly enjoyed conversations in which McElheny's political differences with Hilary and Steven Rose were major.
In his famous book, Watson, taking the part of Maurice Wilkins (who might have been a distant relative of Crick’s because Crick's mother's maiden name was Wilkins), took adolescent swipes at Rosalind Franklin in a book that was both designedly and inevitably indiscreet and adolescent.
In addition to his long acquaintanceship with Watson, McElheny, starting from the time when he worked for the Polaroid Corporation in 1972–1973, was personally acquainted with Polaroid's genius innovator Edwin H. Land for many years.

The lac Honorine is a freshwater body on the hydrographic side of the Launière River, of the Jacques-Cartier River, in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province, in Quebec, Canada.
The surface of Lake Honorine is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from mid-December to mid-March.
This lake is mainly fed by riparian streams, by the outlet (coming from the northeast) from lakes Berth and Mongeau and by a stream (coming from the southeast).
This lake is surrounded by mountains on the east and south sides, whose peaks reach to the northeast and to the southwest.
From the mouth of Lake Honorine, the current follows the course of the Launière River consecutively over generally south, the course of the Jacques-Cartier River on generally towards the south where it merges with the Saint Lawrence River .
The Moors used made a circle of camels which scared Byzantine horses to such an extent that horse archery became impractical.
Due to the Moor formation these were not able to do much damage and when the Moors charged the fighting turned against them.
Solomon then decided to attack the other side of the circle, predicting it to be weakened to such an extent that the hidden cavalry could not spring into action in time.

Wild Target () is a 1993 French comedy film directed by Pierre Salvadori.A remake directed by Jonathan Lynn was released in 2010.
He became known for his development of national guideline to prepare hospitals against disasters, national respond framework in disasters and integrating emergencies numbers in Iran.
He has been member Academy of Medical Science Iran since 2016... Khankeh has been head of department and research centre of Health in Emergency and Disaster in University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Science Tehran since 2012.
When he was 18 years old he left the college for attending Iran-Iraq War as a young volunteer health care provider and as paramad.
After a few months, he got responsibilities as a clinical nurse in the emergency clinics in the front line of the war.
In his years at war, Khankeh came into contact with people who were from less privileged economic classes of society and he felt the difficulties and hardship that existed in Iran during war period.
He was always curious to ho help the people in catastrophic situations, therefore, he attempted to improve his knowledge in nursing and emergency and offer solutions for the problems faced by Disaster societies.
He finished his bachelor's degree in Iran University of Medical Sciences at 1991 and at the same year he started his master's degree in Nursing Science at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Science and Medical Education.
Khankeh decided to improve his knowledge where he continued his Post-Doctora under supervision of Prof. Maaret Castren at Department of Clinical Science and Education Sweden in field of emergencies and disasters health focusing on qualitative paradigm special using theory methodology.
His special focuses are on theoretical and applied disaster research in the field of emergencies and disasters health, on qualitative designing in field of emergency and disaster and also hospital emergency risk management programming.
He has been as a deputy of research and technology in University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Science between 2014 and 2017.
Khankeh is visiting professor in departments of clinical science and education at Karolinska Institute in Sweden, Leipzig University in Germany and University of Gdansk in Poland, he gives internatonal and national lectures at congresses and gives courses on topics related to disaster and emergencies and qualitative methodology.
He will do research about Disaster Risk Reduction in Tehran (Capital of Iran) by improving disaster Risk understanding and social trust in Free University of Berlin.
Khankeh when he expend some months for research in field of emergencies and disasters coordination at University of Hyogo in Research Institute of Nursing Care for People and Community he realised that his country needs to focus on coordination in disaster situation.
When he backed form Japan he started to develop disaster risk reduction in Iran in field of health and he has done some interventions base on an international recommendation like Hyogo framework for action 2005 and Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction for action 2015 to reduce the amount of disaster risk in the country.
Therefore, Khankeh from 2011 tried to developed a national guideline to prepare hospitals against disasters and this guideline is known as a national guideline in every part of Iran.
Nowadays this guideline has been included in hospitals accreditation system and all hospitals including governmental and private hospitals, even military hospitals have to follow criteria.
Khankeh and his team in 2015 base on order of head of National Disaster Management Organization initiated National Respond Framework (NRF) in disasters and emergencies situations and distributed in different parts of Iran.
This national response framework has been developed base on two level of the disaster which categorized disaster in Iran from E0 which means emergency zero until E-four it means emergency four( E0,E1,E2,E3,until E4).
In Iran there are several organizations which are involved in the field of emergency and disaster such as Iranian medical Emergency medical services(EMS), Iranian Red Crescent Society, Iranian fire department, municipalities, police department, and social welfare and the other involved organisations they all have their own emergency numbers.
Nowadays this national project has been piloted under supervision of him in one of the cities of Iran Qom which have the most important high way in the country with the highest rate of accident.
His publications include Farsi and English language books as publisher and author on the emergency and disaster health and more than 150 peer-reviewed articles.
Khankeh and his research team published the first National Tool for Hospital Preparedness Against Disasters and Hazard and Hazard Assessment Toolkit for Disaster & Health which they are one of the main references book in this area.
The Cagiva C593 was a racing motorcycle made by Cagiva, which was used in the 500cc class of Grand Prix motorcycle racing during the 1993 season.
Just like last year, the Cagiva riders continued to be competitive, despite not being as strong as other manufacturers like Yamaha, Honda or Suzuki.
Doug Chandler frequently rode the machine into the points and managed to score a third place podium, even battling with Wayne Rainey's Yamaha for second, at the season opener in Australia.
The high point however, came when John Kocinski joined the team late in the season after the 250cc Factory Suzuki team had fired him and went on to win Cagiva's first and only race of the season at the 1993 United States Grand Prix as the rivals on the seemingly better machines crashed out.
Mat Mladin, replacement rider Juan Garriga and wildcard rider Carl Fogarty scored a decent haul of points as well, the team scoring a total of 199 points and getting two podiums - one of which was a win.
The dam was originally designed to accommodate the width of two Ford Model-T automobiles, and had to be later reduced to a single lane road due increased vehicle widths.
The build contract was awarded to Edward Kraemer & Sons, Inc. of Plain, Wisconsin, with an overall total cost of $21.3 million USD in 1992.
He co-founded a firm with Archibald G. Rigg in 1919, and they designed the Shriner's Hospital and Hutton Elementary School in Spokane.
They designed at least two buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places: the Red Shield Inn (now known as Lewis Army Museum) in Fort Lewis, Washington, and the First Presbyterian Church of Whitefish in Montana.
Became a symbol of the struggle for historical memory in Spain for the struggle she maintained for the recovery of the body of his father, Timoteo Mendieta, killed in 1939 by Francisco Franco's troops, branch of the Spanish army raised against the legitimate government of the Second Spanish Republic, and buried in a mass grave in the cemetery of Guadalajara.
Daughter of the marriage formed by Timoteo Mendieta, a member of the General Workers Union (UGT), a socialist syndicate union attached to the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), and María Ibarra, a member to a conservative family and good social position.
In 1939, after the arrest of Timoteo Mendieta and leaving the family without resources, they moved to the Madrid town of Puente de Vallecas to the house of Timoteo's mother.
When Paz dies, it is Ascension, supported by his family, who continues the same until, first in 2013 and then in 2017, that the exhumation and identification works that conclude with the delivery of the mortal remains of his father and is buried in civil cemetery of Almudena in Madrid.
Off-rolling or offrolling is the practice in the United Kingdom, of removing disadvantaged and struggling pupils from the school roll, before they take their final exams so their poor results are not included in the school statistics.
Off-rolling is the practice of removing a pupil from the school roll without using a permanent exclusion, when the removal is primarily in the best interests of the school, rather than the best interests of the pupil.
Requests to the senior leadership team (SLT) for information give no response or details just that the parent has removed them.
According to Ofsted, who also wished to know why the child is no longer there, and published a report on 9 May 2019, 24% of secondary teachers have experiences off-rolling, while an additional 51% had heard of it but not experienced it.
Teachers are suspicious that off-rolling is taken place, when it occurs at key points in the year, when they have been recently asked for a behaviour report about the child or the child is a know low attender or low achiever.
It is possible that transfer was genuine, but in a climate where the reasons aren't given, they assume that this is one of the pattern.
Two techniques have been used, transferring the child who is already receiving help through an alternative provider (AP) such as a specialist behavioural or autism unit, fully onto the units roll.
Persuading the parents that it is in everyones interest if the child remains at home and is taught by the family or privately.
At the end of 2018, Ofsted identified 300 schools where the numbers leaving the roll was abnormally high, it wouldn't name them but contacted their academy trust or controlling local authority.
The inspection of The Sutton Academy, St Helens, which is overseen by the St Helens College, showed 12 pupils who were receiving education, through an AP in the dual-roll mode, were transferred to the AP, removing them from Sutton's roll.
This practice had been going on, there and in other local schools with the knowledge of the local authority for several years.
Other schools criticised by Ofsted for off-rolling pupils are Harrop Fold School in Salford and the Shenley E-ACT Academy in Birmingham, both of which were put in special measures.
Philip Nye, working for FFT Education Datalab, explains that in total, 24,600 pupils disappeared from mainstream schools last year, leaving for unknown destinations.
It is estimated that as many as 9,000 disadvantaged 16-year-olds were not taking exams or recorded in school league tables because they cannot be located on school records.
London is particularly badly affected.‘Academies, particularly those in some multi-academy trusts, appear to be losing proportionately more pupils than local authority schools.
The Education Select Committee in July 2018 said that 'off-rolling is in part driven by school policies created by the Department for Education’.
‘The Department cannot wash its hands of the issue, just as schools cannot wash their hands of their pupils.’ Progress 8 incentivises exclusion; it detering schools from retaining pupils ‘classed as difficult or challenging’.
When pupils are off-rolled, the consequences for them are severe: only around one per cent of children who leave to an alternative provision or a special school achieve the benchmark five good GCSEs.
About 20,000 children leave the rolls of mainstream secondary schools to a range of other destinations: with only six per cent achieving five good GCSEs.

John Walter Clark (born 1935), is Wayman Crow Professor of Physics emeritus at Washington University in St. Louis, and a recipient of the Eugene Feenberg Medal in 1987 for his contributions to many-body theory.
He received his BS and MA degrees in physics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1955 and 1957, respectively.
He then earned his Ph.D. in Physics under the supervision of Eugene Feenberg at Washington University in St. Louis in 1959.
He was an National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at Princeton University advised by Eugene Wigner and a NATO postdoctoral fellow at University of Birmingham and Saclay from 1959 to 1963.
He became an assistant professor of physics at Washington University in 1963, was interim department chair from 1996-1997, and succeeded Edwin T. Jaynes as the Wayman Crow Professor of Physics.
Clark is notable for his contributions to nuclear physics and many-body theory, but later in his career also turned his interests to neural nets.
Among the offices in which he served were United States Marshal for the District of Vermont (1823-1829), Sheriff of Orange County (1812-1813, 1815-1822), and commander of the Vermont Militia's 4th Division with the rank of major general in 1822.
Joseph Edson was born in Randolph, Vermont on March 3, 1782, a son of Josiah Edson (1758-1819) and Sarah (Pinney) Edson (1756-1804).
A Democratic-Republican, Edson began a career in government at an early age, serving as a town constable from 1805 to 1809. after serving as deputy sheriff, he was elected Sheriff of Orange County and served from 1812 to 1813, and then again from 1815 to 1822.
During the War of 1812 he was commissioned as a major, and helped organize the Randolph-area contingent that took part in the defense of Plattsburgh in September 1814.
He continued to serve in the militia, and was commander of 1st Brigade, 4th Division from 1818 to 1822 with the rank of brigadier general.
Denunciations published by the newspaper contributed to the isolation of Jews during the first years of the Holocaust in Bohemia and Moravia.
Antisemitism and fascism, as represented in the newspaper, were the fringe of opinion among Czechs, but gained in popularity after the 1938 Munich Agreement forced Czechoslovakia to cede the Sudetenland to Nazi Germany.
Rudolf Novák (1890–1947), who had been imprisoned in Austria-Hungary for his activism in the Czech National Social Party and served in the Czechoslovak Legion, was the editor-in-chief of the newspaper from early 1941.
However, he was arrested by the Gestapo in December 1940 and deported to Dachau concentration camp; ownership passed to his daughter, Olga.
In another article two weeks later, the paper recommended continued support for the persecution of Jews despite the threat of prosecution after the war and information from foreign radio that the Jews deported from the Protectorate were being systematically murdered.
The antisemitic content and promotion of collaboration did not decrease, even after it became clear that Germany would lose the war.
The newspaper solicited denunciations of Jews and non-Jews who failed to follow anti-Jewish regulations or were insufficiently pro-Nazi from its readership, making it easier for Czechs to make denunciations without going directly to Nazi institutions.
In his postwar trial for collaboration, Novák estimated that he had received 60 such letters daily and it was not possible to print them all.
The Czech police investigated all of these denunciations and some of the victims of denunciations were arrested by the Gestapo and deported to concentration camps.
Some denunciations shed light not just on the willingness of antisemites to report on their neighbors, but also the resistance to Nazi edicts among other Czechs.
However, most Czech Jews did not survive in order to testify; in Novák's trial, most evidence was given by Jews who had been in mixed marriages.

Also on the staff at that time was Lance Leipold, who would later hire McCaslin as an assistant at the University at Buffalo.
McCaslin steadily ascended the coaching ranks at UNO on the defensive side of the ball, becoming defensive line coach in 2000 and defensive coordinator in 2005.
McCaslin's career at UNO came to a halt in the spring of 2011 when the school decided to transition to NCAA Division I and join the Summit League.
He was a candidate for the head coaching jobs at two schools: South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSM&T) in Rapid City, South Dakota, and Chadron State College in Chadron, Nebraska.
McCaslin eventually landed at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, as defensive coordinator for the 2012 season, after reaching out to head coach Chris Creighton.
McCaslin served as defensive coordinator for the 2012 and 2013 seasons; Drake's 2013 defense ranked fifth in the FCS in rushing.
When Creighton departed Drake for the Eastern Michigan University head coaching job after the 2013 season, he brought McCaslin with him as his new defensive coordinator.
Eastern Michigan struggled on both sides of the ball during Creighton's first two years, to the point that the faculty union and student government would question the viability of continuing the program in early 2016.
The University at Buffalo, also a school in the Mid-American Conference, hired McCaslin as a defensive analyst for the 2016 season under head coach and former fellow UNO assistant Lance Leipold.
After two seasons in Buffalo, McCaslin accepted the heading coaching job at Benedictine University in Lisle, Illinois, which competed in the NCAA Division III Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference.

It is the converted General Office of Boord & Son's Distillery, which was built between 1899-1901 and designed by Aston Webb , an English architect who designed the principal facade of Buckingham Palace and the main building of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Aston Webb House was built between 1899-1901 on land purchased from Magdalen College, Oxford and is the sole remnant of a huge industrial complex belonging to Boord & Son, a long-established firm of distillers that was established in 1726 .
The building is set back from the River Thames across from the City of London (London financial district), in between London Bridge and Tower Bridge.
It is on the doorstep of the More London development and London Bridge station, and is a short walk from landmarks including Borough Market, Hays Galleria, The Shard, The Tower of London, and HMS Belfast.
In Tooley Street is the distillery of Messrs. Boord & Son, a building faced with picked yellow stocks and stone and red-brick dressings.
The building is illustrative of Webb's early, pre-1900 career, which was characterised by eclecticism and variety of styles, including 'free Arts & Crafts', 'Jacobean', 'free Tudor', 'Franco-Flemish' and 'François Premier'.
This period, which is generally regarded by critics as covering his more original work, saw not only the completion of famous public buildings, but of significant commercial and industrial buildings in London.
Executed in high quality yellow stocks with red-brick dressings and liberal use of stone for the entrance frontispiece, cornice and details, it is conceived in a Free Classical style.

When the backyards were no longer enough for Fred's audience, they both left the family to go on a world tour, with Sophie and Nick desperately searching the streets to find their missing pets.
In the present, Sophie and Nick are saddened that they never heard Fred sing, with Kenneth blaming himself for Fred's death.
However, Ginger reveals he made a secret recording of Fred's final song on tape (without Kenneth's permission), and the funeral service moves to Sophie's and Nick's house, where the children and cats dance to Fred's music and empty the fridge.
When dawn falls, everyone disappears and Sophie and Nick are also sent to bed by Kenneth, who laboriously cleans the kitchen before retiring upstairs himself.
The next morning, Sophie and Nick's parents are left confused by the previously-filled refrigerator being suddenly empty, along with all the flowers from the garden plants missing.
Leading them down the garden, the children reveal Fred's still-decorated headstone to their amazed and delighted parents, who assume they made it themselves.
Meanwhile, Kenneth is sitting in his hutch upstairs listing the different cat lives that Fred had lost in various incidents over the years.
Since every cat has nine lives, Kenneth exclaims that Fred still has one life left, and calls out for his whereabouts.

Phillips originally did not intend to go to college and took an unconventional educational path, earning a bachelor's degree by independent study at the University of Minnesota in 1986.
The efforts focused on acquiring ironclad ram turret ships for defending the approaches to the main harbors, and monitors to defend the coast and to fight on the big rivers.
The foundations of this program had been laid down in a report by a commission to review the coastal defense (Commissie tot het herzien der kustverdediging), which had sent in its report on 22 October 1864.
He stated that in the previous years the establishment of an armored squadron for the defense of the sea harbors and lower rivers had been a top priority.
However, with 5 monitors expected to be complete by the end of the year, and 5 more under construction, the demands for that defense could be considered to have been met.
It was therefore no longer responsible to postpone the replacement of the screw steamships first class (Djambi-class corvette, Zilveren Kruis-class corvette) which defended the East Indies.
To tender to this need, he wanted to lay down an ironclad (the HNLMS Koning der Nederlanden) instead of more monitors.
In the interest of coastal and river defense two heavily armed gunboats modeled on the (British) Staunch class would be built.
By mid 1871 the Dutch authorities were negotiating with William Armstrong & Co in Newcastle on Tyne for two Ever class gunboats.
The first order to commercial shipyards in the Netherlands was for three gunboats at the Koninklijke Fabriek in Amsterdam and three at Fijenoord.
The obvious reason to do this was that the Dutch navy had recently ordered ironclads and monitors with the same 9 inch gun.
For travel in rough weather or at open sea, the gun could then be fastened at a position lower in the hold for better stability.
Tideman gives the weight of this gun as 13,000 kg, adding that the carriage and sled weighed 4,490 kg, and the metal parts of the circle 557 kg.
The 9 inch Armstrong gun had been chosen as the standard armor piercing gun for the Dutch navy in the 1860s (cf Heiligerlee-class monitor).

Reuben Partridge was born September 10, 1823 in Wilmington, New York to Cyrus and Lucinda Partridge, he was one of four children.
His mother moved them to Marysville in Union County, where her son from a previous marriage, Rowland Lee, was an accomplished wagon maker.
Due to the design of local bridges at the time, they would sometimes crumple under the sudden stress of heavy rains.
As of 1882, Partridge was responsible for having built 90% of the bridges in Union County, and by 1883 had built over 125 in total.
In 1886, he moved to Columbus, and worked as the Vice President of the Columbus Bridge Company for the next 10 years.
Partridge moved back to Marysville in 1896, to a house he designed and built for his wife on West 7th Street.
He died 4 years later, on July 17, 1900, from complications after breaking his leg falling through a bridge he was supervising the removal of in Taylor Township north of Marysville.
He was also an active member of the first militia formed in Union County, a Marysville city council member, township clerk, township trustee, and avid supporter of the local veterans of the Mexican War and Civil War.
Partridge built four of the six historic wooden covered bridges still standing in Union County today, the Bigelow Bridge (1873), Cullbertson Bridge (1872), Pottersburg Bridge (1872), and Spain Creek Bridge (1883).
The only other bridge of Partridge's that is still standing outside of Union County is the Bergstresser Covered Bridge (1887) near Canal Winchester, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
It was painted by Columbus artist Curtis Goldstein, and paid for in part by a grant from Dayton Power & Light.
Helen Mary Sang (born 1955) is the head of the Division of Developmental Biology at the Roslin Institute of the University of Edinburgh.
Sang returned to the United Kingdom as a Medical Research Council fellow working with David Finnegan at the University of Edinburgh.
Sang was made principal investigator at the Agriculture and Food Research Council (AFRC) Poultry Research Centre, which became the Roslin Institute in 1993.
In the 1980s when Sang started at the Roslin Institute she started to investigate ways to genetically modify hens so that they created valuable proteins in their eggs.
She proposed purifying the egg whites and making use of the engineered proteins for medical therapies to treat cancer, arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
Since then, genome editing has evolved so that genes can be inserted into the DNA of chickens, producing new human proteins alongside those in egg white.
Sang and colleagues developed transgenic lines that incorporated green fluorescent protein and membrane localised green fluorescent proteins in cells that are developing embryos.
Sang was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2020 New Year Honours for services to food security and bioscience for health.

The original route granted to the railway ran from South Boston Point (now City Point), at the eastern extremity of Fourth Street, to a point near the intersection of Broadway and Turnpike Street (now Dorchester Avenue), where it merged with the tracks of the Dorchester Avenue Railroad.
By the 1860s the South Boston was one of the four principal street railways of the Boston area, together with the Metropolitan, Union/Cambridge, and Middlesex.
Of the four, it was generally on the smaller size, with a passenger count of 4.3 million in 1869 and 6.1 million a decade later.
In 1887 the West End Street Railway gained a controlling interest in the South Boston, and the railroad was formally consolidated into the West End on November 12 of that year.

Memoirs of a Suicide (Portuguese: Memórias de um Suicida) is a channeled afterlife account psychographed by the Brazilian spiritist medium Yvonne do Amaral Pereira, whose authorship is attributed to the spirit of Portuguese writer Camilo Castelo Branco.
The book was originally published by the Brazilian Spiritist Federation in 1954, twelve years after its writing, allegedly because it did not fit the usual spiritist novel profile.
The plot is centered on the afterlife story of Camilo Cândido Botelho (a spiritual pseudonym of Camilo Castelo Branco), who committed suicide after going blind, on 1 June 1890.
He feels the terrible pain from the shot to his right ear and his brain, waking up among the putrid smell of his own corpse.
Hearing the voices of a crowd he compulsively joins to, all of them are forcefully brought to an inhospitable, dark and horrendous low astral place, the so-called «Valley of the Suicides», where like-minded spirits of suicides are localized.
After more than ten years of incessant suffering, aggravated by the belief that it was an eternal and hellish punishment, Camilo, was totally exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Finally he was rescued by the Servants of Mary, spiritual helpers who took him to the Mary of Nazareth astral hospital, in the twilight zone of a spiritual city.
There the account unfolds with the revelation of the stories of his fellows of misfortune, the pains that caused their self-undoing, their plans for reparatory rebirth and, finally, the karmic cause of Camilo's blindness and his project of upliftment through reincarnation.
Upon a new rebirth on Earth, most probably one has to endure again the same challenges one had tried to escape through suicide, further aggravated by more physical and existential handicaps than before.
This work was released in 2013 as a radionovela, authorized by the Brazilian Spiritist Federation, on the initiative of José de Paiva-Netto, CEO of Legião da Boa Vontade.
Maricá Futebol Clube, better known as Maricá, is a sports association in the city of Maricá, in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
Founded on August 2, 2001 as a Rio de Janeiro Football Club, between 2017 and 2018 the club competed under the name of Rio de Janeiro/Maricá through a partnership between Rio de Janeiro and Maricá.
On July 16, 2018, it was made official merger and the change in the name of the Rio de Janeiro Football Club to Maricá Futebol Clube.
It was founded by professor Ênio Farias and has a vast number of players revealed for international football as midfielder Carlos Alberto, who played at club de Regatas Vasco da Gama.
In 2009, they won the State champion of the Third Division of Rio de Janeiro, junior category, by winning in the final the Leme Futebol Clube Zona Sul 4-3.
The professional team competes in the same championship, failing to get past the first phase, when it is eliminated by Clube Atlético Castelo Branco, Heliópolis Atlético Clube and Rubro Social Esporte Clube.
The club came about with the aim of bringing back professional football to the city of Maricá, which since 2005, when Taquaral competed in the Rio Cup, did not have professional teams.
The team partnered with the Rio de Janeiro Football Club to compete in the Campeonato Carioca Serie B2 already in its founding year.
The goal is to follow the path of other partnerships that worked in Rio football, such as the partnership between Campos Atlético Associação and Carapebus, a partnership between Arraial do Cabo and Araruama and the partnership between Santa Cruz and Belford Roxo.
After announcing Polaco Valoura as coach for the State's B2 Series race, Maricá confirmed the name of 24 players who will be part of the squad this season.
Among the pieces that will be available to Valoura are midfielder Lucas Candido and left back Maylson, who defended Araruama in the Third quarter last year.
The definition of the squad came shortly after the evaluations that the newly created club carried out in the city of Maricá.
According to the football manager, Douglas Almeida, the athletes who had the names revealed will form the backbone of the team, which still seeks punctual signings to close the group.
The team's first official game took place on May 28, 2017, against Angra dos Reis, a game that ended tied at 2-2.
Players with acess to virtual reality headsets will appear to normal PC players as giant floating pairs of hands, which may smite or haul other players around the game world, as well as edit and build upon the level on a greater scale.
As a tie-in to the game's themes, a server's player-made creations are permanent for as long as there are players connected to it, but will be erased if the server becomes empty.
This can be prevented by executing game-related actions such as joining a server, searching through a defeated player's inventory, or planting the bomb.
Despite this, the game was not developed with the intention of reproducing the gameplay of Counter-Strike in mind, but focused itself on capturing the feeling of exploring game servers made in the Source engine.

Love Song (Italian: Canzone d'amore) is a 1954 Italian musical film directed by Giorgio Simonelli and starring Claudio Villa, Maria Fiore and Walter Santesso.
It had its origins in a Volunteer unit of the Royal Engineers formed in the West Country in 1860. provided the communications for the 43rd (Wessex) Infantry Division during World War II.
When the Volunteers were subsumed into the Territorial Force as part of the Haldane reforms in 1908, the Devonshire and Somersetshire unit was split up: most of the Devonshire personnel went to form the Devonshire Fortress Royal Engineers at Plymouth, while the Somerset contingent provided the Wessex Divisional Engineers at Bath and Weston-super-Mare.
On 29 July 1914 the Wessex Division was on Salisbury Plain carrying out its annual training camp when 'precautionary orders' were received, and next day the division took up emergency war stations in Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.
Between 10 and 13 August the division concentrated on Salisbury Plain, with divisional HQ moving from Exeter to Tidworth, to begin war training.
On 24 September, at the special request of the Secretary of State for War, Earl Kitchener of Khartoum, the Wessex Division accepted liability for service in British India to relieve the Regular Army units there to go to the Western Front.
The Wessex Division never saw service as a whole, though it was formally numbered the 43rd (1st Wessex) Division in 1915.As soon as the Wessex Division had left for India, the home depots began raising 2nd Line units, distinguished from the 1st Line by a '2/' prefix.
Recruitment and training of the 2nd Wessex Division proceeded so well that it was also sent to India in December 1914, and later received the notional title of 45th (2nd Wessex) Division.
On 20 November 1914 the 1st Wessex Divisional RE joined 27th Division, which was being assembled mainly from the Regular Army units returning from Indian garrisons.
The signallers became 27th (Wessex) Divisional Signal Company and went to France in December 1914, the first complete TF signal company sent to the Western Front.
Apart from some raiding, 27th Division's only offensive actions were from 30 September to 4 October 1916 when it attacked across the River Struma to capture some villages, and some failed attacks on Tumbitza Farm in November and December.
27th Division spent almost two years in the malarial Struma Valley, the only significant action occurring when the division took part in the capture of Homondos on 14 October.
The front became active again in September 1918 when the Allies began the final offensive and 27th Division was engaged in the capture of the Roche Noire Salient, followed by the passage of the Vardar and pursuit to the Strumica,Valley.
After the Armistice of Salonica ended hostilities on the Macedonian Front, 27th Division embarked for the Black Sea in December 1918, reaching Batum by the end of January.
The force was part of the British intervention in the complex situation of independent regimes that had emerged in the Caucasus region following the collapse of the Russian and Ottoman Turkish empires.
British troops began to withdraw in August 1919 and 27th Division was disbanded between 7 and 24 September after handing over to an Inter-Allied force at Batum.
The 2/1st Wessex Divisional RE joined 58th (2/1st London) Division, the signallers becoming 58th (2/1st Wessex) Divisional Signal Company, and went with it to the Western Front in January 1917.
It was engaged in the operations during the German retreat to the Hindenburg Line (Operation Alberich) and in the Third Battle of Ypres.
The division was heavily engaged in the German Spring Offensive of 1918 and then the Allied Hundred Days Offensive, beginning with the Battle of Amiens, in which the division was engaged in bitter fighting for the Chipilly spur.
Demobilisation began after the Armistice with Germany in November 1918, and by March 1919 the various HQs of the diminishing division were emerged into a single division group.
The 43rd (Wessex) Divisional Signals reformed at The Priory, The Friars, Exeter, in the Territorial Army (TA), which replaced the TF in 1921.
When the TA was doubled in size in early 1939 after the Munich Crisis, the division once again formed a duplicate, 45th Division, for which the signals split to form 45th (West Country) Divisional Signals under the command of Lt-Col A.F.S.
As the war progressed divisional signals was enlarged to cover the divisional radio telephony (R/T) and wireless telephony (W/T) nets, divisional administrative services, rear communications for brigade HQs, divisional tactical HQ, and air communications.
It was intended to reinforce the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) in France, but the German invasion of the Low Countries on 10 May ended the 'Phoney War' before the division was ready.
When the Battle of France was lost and the BEF was being evacuated from Dunkirk, 43rd (W) Division was one of the few reasonably well-equipped formations left in Home Forces.
It formed part of the mobile GHQ Reserve disposed on the line from Northampton through North London to Aldershot, from which brigade groups could be despatched to any threatened area.
By the end of 1940 the division was stationed under XII Corps in East Kent, where it remained for the next four years, first in defensive mode, later training intensively.
The divisional commander, Maj-Gen Ivor Thomas, was often heard over the radio net: 'He had a voice which seemed able to blast its way through interference from wireless programmes, Fighter Command operations, other formations' activities, and even the worst splutterings and explosions of the wireless sets of the period'.
The divisional history stresses the high level of efficiency achieved by the divisional signals during this long period of hard training.
In June 1942 the division was reorganised as a 'Mixed' division, first 25th and later 34th Army Tank Brigade replacing one of the infantry brigades, with the consequent reorganisation of the signals units.
They were follow-up formations, with 43rd (W) Division scheduled to complete its landings 14 days after D Day (D +14, 20 June).
However, shipping delays and a storm between 19 and 22 June delayed its arrival; the division finally concentrated round Bayeux on 24 June.
The division's first major offensive action was Operation Jupiter, to take Hill 112, which had been briefly captured by British armour during 'Epsom' but had to be abandoned.
The attack on 10 July involved bitter fighting and heavy casualties, and was only partially successful, with the hilltop left in No man's land.
The division had to complete its capture and then hold the vital position against heavy bombardment and counter-attacks for another 14 days, including Operation Express to capture Maltot on 22 July.
At the end of July 21st Army Group was regrouped for the breakout from the Normandy beachhead and after rest 43rd (W) Division moved to XXX Corps to launch an attack on Mont Pinçon (Operation Bluecoat).
The breakout achieved, XXX Corps drove for the River Seine, where 43rd (W) Division made an assault crossing and then bridged the river at Vernon.
It then moved up to Diest to take part in XXX Corps' thrust to link up the bridges seized by airborne forces during Operation Market Garden, beginning on 17 September.
The division was to follow Guards Armoured Division, carrying out assault crossings if any of the bridges were found to be destroyed, and to guard the 'corridor' to Arnhem.
The advance up the only road ('Club Route') was slow but on 21 September 43rd (W) Division caught up with the Guards and took over responsibility for defending the Nijmegen bridges.
By the time the division broke through to join the Polish Parachute Brigade on the banks of the Nederrijn next day, 1st Airborne Division had been effectively destroyed.
All the Wessex could do was make an assault crossing in order to ferry survivors back over the river on the night of 24/25 September.
The Airborne radios had not been operable, and the only communication link had been through 64th (London) Medium Regiment, Royal Artillery, attached to 43rd (W) Division.
43rd (Wessex) Division spent weeks defending XXX Corps' west flank on 'The Island', the low-lying ground between the Waal and Nederrijn.
It was then shifted to the east flank to cooperate with US troops in reducing the Geilenkirchen salient (Operation Clipper), after which the area was defended through winter weather.
Once the German Ardennes Offensive had been halted, 43rd (W) Division returned to the offensive in early 1945 in Operation Blackcock to reduce the Roer Triangle, though exploitation was prevented by bad weather.
The division then fought through the month-long battle of the Reichswald (Operation Veritable) to capture Kleve, roll up the Siegfried Line defences, cross the Goch escarpment and seize Xanten on the Rhine.
Its leading brigade crossed the river on 25 March behind 51st (Highland) Division, which had carried the assault on the night of 23/24 March.
The division was divided into five battle groups for the first drive, incorporating units of 8th Armoured Brigade, a complex process for the HQs and signal units involved.
After a period as occupation forces in XXX Corps' district, 43rd (Wessex) Division's HQ and TA units were demobilised at the war's end.
45th Division and its units were still being formed on the outbreak of war and they did not achieve full independence until 7 September 1939.
After Dunkirk it was moved into the anticipated invasion area of South East England, but by the Spring of 1941 it was in GHQ Reserve in the Midlands.
It was regarded as a training and defensive formation and was placed on a lower establishment in December 1941, doing tours of duty in Essex and Northern Ireland.
Notably, 45th (West Country) Divisional Signals also supplied signal sections to Beach Groups that played a vital role in the assault landings at Salerno (Operation Avalanche) and in Normandy.
By August 1944 the drain of supplying reinforcements to 21st Army Group fighting in Normandy had so reduced 45th Division that it was broken up: 45th (WC) Divisional Signals was disbanded on 30 August 1944.
Coincidentally, 77th/45th (Holding) Division was commanded by a TA officer, Maj-Gen Godwin Michelmore, who had been 43rd (Wessex) Divisional Signals' first CO in 1920.
By 1957, 3 Squadron had moved to Bristol, its place at Torquay being taken by B Troop, while J Troop had been formed at Salisbury and L Troop at Plymouth.
In addition, each brigade within the division had its own dedicated signal squadron providing Troops to the artillery regiments and rear link detachments to the infantry battalions.
In 1960 the 43rd (Wessex) HQ converted from an infantry division into a district, with consequent reorganisation to its signals, which was redesignated 43rd Signal Regiment (Wessex).
In addition, the regiment assumed command of the War Office Signal Squadron at Plymouth, 74 Independent Squadron, Women's Royal Army Corps, and a squadron from 57 Signal Regiment, while also taking over administrative responsibility for 340, 341 and 342 Brigade Signal Squadrons.
In 1967, when the TA was converted into the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve (TAVR), the regiment was reduced to a single 43 (Wessex) Signal Squadron based at Bridgwater and forming part of 37 (Wessex and Welsh) Signal Regiment at Bristol, with 866 Signal Troop at Cheltenham and 867 and 899 Signal Troops at Bristol under command.
The Strategic Defence Review of 1998 envisaged the squadron moving to 72 Signal Regiment (Volunteers), a Radio Support Regiment with its HQ at Oxford, but this did not happen.
This was carried out in 2014, when the squadron transferred back from the hybrid 21 Signal Rgt to become part of the present 39 (Skinners) Signal Regiment (Volunteers).

May 13, 1933), a library worker, philologist, art critic, accompanied her father to meetings with George de Roerich, the author of articles about Nicholas Roerich, from 1988 the chairman of the recreated Society, had prepared many works of her father for publication.
All in all, Rudzitis published 15 articles on Tagore, translations of 133 of his poems, five dramas and several philosophical works.
At the end of the 1920's The Latvian Roerich Society invited Rudzitis, as a sensitive translator and connoisseur of oriental culture, to become the editor of the Agni Yoga book translations.
In 1957, the son of Nicholas Roerich transmitted to Rudzitis the wish of Helena Roerich to write a book about the work of Nicholas Roerich.
Under the leadership of Rudzitis, the Society published the works of the Roerichs, Living Ethics, H. P. Blavatsky’s Secret Doctrine and the works of Rudzitis himself.
It is so valuable that such clear ideological books are being published and I can only wish for it to spread among wider social groups.

Federico Smith (Frederick Anthony Smith, Manhattan, New York, United States, 1929 – Matanzas, Cuba, 1977) was a Cuban composer from North American origin.
Smith began his musical studies in his country, and in 1950 travelled to Mexico where he lived for the next 12 years.
That participation suggests an ideological tendency that had already manifested in his involvement with American communist organizations and his studies of Marxist philosophy.
Due to his professional prowess and deep knowledge of mathematics, art, politics and other academic disciplines, Federico Smith was considered a brilliant intellectual with hints of genius during his lifetime; but sadly, his professional career, that included musical composition, pedagogy and musical criticism, was negatively influenced by a noticeable addiction to alcohol and tobacco that most probable caused his early decease.
Smith lived almost six years in the Matanzas province, from mid-1971 until his passing in 1977; and in that city he developed an outstanding professional and creative activity as a composer, professor and conductor.
The decease of Federico Smith occurred in total isolation, when he was just 48 years old, probably induced by an untreated bronchial pneumonia; although it is also possible that it would be related to a marked physical decay produced by alcoholism.
Federico Smith travelled to Mexico in 1950, a country where he was going to live during the next 12 years; between the D. F. and the Michoacan State.
Several records indicate that he received training in composition and counterpoint from Blas Galindo, analysis from Rodolfo Halfter and instrumentation from José Pablo Moncayo.
Smith worked as professor of harmony, musical analysis, music history and composition at the National Art Schools (Cuba), from 1963 to 1966, and there he served as guide and support to many young musicians that, at a later time, were going to be excellent professionals.
His interest for the utilization of mathematic models in analysis and musical composition exerted an important influence in the development of composition techniques such as aleatorism, stochastic and electro-acoustic music in Cuba.
Federico Smith composed numerous works for concerts, radio, TV and cinema; which were characterized by their innovative and experimental style, and in 1966, he collaborated as an arranger and composer with the Cuban Institute of Radio and Television (ICRT).
During his stay in Mexico, Federico Smith worked as composer, professor and promoter of the Escuela de Danza (Dance School) of the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes.
He briefly served in politics as the Minister of Finance for the First Cabinet of Mateusz Morawiecki from 4 June to 30 August 2019.

The rivière aux Canots is a tributary of the east bank of the Métabetchouane River, flowing in the unorganized territory of Belle-Rivière, in the Lac-Saint-Jean-Est Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The surface of the Rivière aux Canots (except the rapids areas) is usually frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March.
The Rivière aux Canots rises at the mouth of Lake Staffieri (length: ; altitude: ) in the shape of a U due to almost island attached to the north shore and stretching to the south.
From the confluence of the Aux Canots river, the current descends the Métabetchouane River north on to the south shore of lac Saint-Jean; from there, the current crosses the latter on towards the northeast, then borrows the course of the Saguenay River via La Petite Décharge on until Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence estuary.
Located in a remote region north of Many Glacier, the falls can only been seen by a multiday hike on established trails to Mokowanis Lake and then from there along unmaintained trails to Ipasha Lake.

Englewood Route 4 is a proposed station along NJ Transit's Northern Branch Corridor Project extension of Hudson-Bergen Light Rail in Englewood in lower reaches of the Northern Valley in Bergen County, New Jersey.
The station site is along the CSX Transportation (CSXT) Northern Branch where it runs under New Jersey Route 4 at MP 8.8, east of Nordhoff Place and north of Sheffield Avenue.
Two other HBLR stations are planned in the city further north of Englewood Route 4 at Englewood Town Center and at Englewood Hospital, the line's terminus.
It is zoned for planned unit development (PUD) and consists mixed-use development that is undergoing a transformation from a warehouse distribution & manufacturing district into a residential, retail, and business neighborhood.
By 1887 Erie Railroad's Northern Branch had three stops in the city: the southernmost at Nordhoff (#1919) (later Sheffield Avenue), the central depot at Englewood (#1921), and the northernmost at Highwood (#1923) (later Hudson Avenue).

Elimination Chamber (2020) (also known as No Escape (2020) in Germany) is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view and WWE Network event produced by WWE for their Raw and SmackDown brands.
It has been produced every year since except in 2016, and is generally held in February; the 2020 event will be the second to not occur in February, but the first to be done in March.
The concept of the show is that one or two main event matches are contested inside the Elimination Chamber, either with championships or future opportunities at championships at stake.
The show will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
The Archives of Appalachia is a repository for memories — the written words, images, and sounds that document life in southern Appalachia.
The Archives of Appalachia at East Tennessee State University (ETSU) opened on September 1, 1978 located on the first floor of what is now known as Nicks Hall.
Created as part of the Institute of Appalachian Affairs by Dr. Arthur H. DeRosier, Jr., newly appointed President of ETSU, its mission was to coordinate research and public service relating to the sociological, political, economic and cultural aspects of life in southern Appalachia.
Early collections included the Washington County Court Records 1777-1950, the East Tennessee Education Association Papers, the LeRoy Reeves Papers, and the B. Carroll Reece Papers.
Under Kesner's direction, the Archives added other valuable collections, including the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railway Records, the Magnet Mills Collection, and the Broadside Television Collection.
Grants in 1979 and 1981 from the Tennessee Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities allowed the Archives to develop the Appalachian Outreach Program, through which it produced nine slide-tape presentations about the region for teachers and community groups.
The Archives developed teaching packets to accompany the presentations, which included transcripts, bibliographies, and suggested classroom activities for public school students.
Under Garrison's direction, the Archives implemented a computerized access system in 1986 and hired Norma (Myers) Thomas as Technical Services Archivist.
CASS included the Institute for Appalachians Affairs, the B. Carroll Reece Museum and the Archives of Appalachia.The Archives acquired additional space when the medical library moved out of Sherrod Library.
In 1986, in recognition of ETSU’s 75 anniversary, the Archives produced a series of exhibits on ETSU's history and helped prepare a time capsule that was deposited in one of the globe columns at the campus amphitheater.
Under Riddle’s leadership, the Archives continued its robust growth, adding hundreds of new collections on a range of historical and cultural topics related to southern Appalachia.
Significant additions included the papers of the long-serving member of the U.S. House of Representatives James H. Quillen; the Coal Employment Project Papers, which document the struggle for workers’ rights for female coal miners; the records of the East Tennessee & Western North Carolina Railroad; and unique recorded sound collections including the Mary Elizabeth Barnicle and Tillman Cadle Collection of field recordings from the 1930s through the 1950s.
Increased media collections created unique demands for preservation and access, and during Riddle’s tenure the Archives applied for, and received, at least a dozen grants to preserve rare audio and moving image holdings.
A major grant from the NEH in 2003 funded a large preservation project and also served as the basis for the creation of the Archives’ media digitization lab.
Over time, the lab has developed the capacity for digitizing over a dozen formats of analog audio and moving image materials.Outreach also remained a focus for the Archives throughout the 1990s and beyond.
In 1997, the administrative responsibility of the Archives, previously shared between the Center for Appalachian Studies and the University Library, was changed to the Center only and the Archives was restructured.
Previously known as the Archives and Special Collections with subdivisions of Archives of Appalachia, University Archives, and Special Collections, the name was officially changed to the Archives of Appalachia, consisting of three units – Appalachian Manuscript Collections, University Archives, and Special Collections.
In 1999, the Archives of Appalachia received a grant from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences to preserve selected recordings and to develop a radio series drawing on the materials in these collections.
In 2000, the Archives was awarded a grant by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission to preserve original and rare recordings in the Barnicle-Cadle, Bernard Rousseau, and Broadside Television collections and make them more accessible to researchers.
As part of an effort to make its collections more accessible, the Archives posted all of its finding aids available online by 2000.
On February 1, 1999 the Archives moved from its original location in what is now known as Nicks Hall to its present location on the fourth floor of the Charles C. Sherrod Library.
In 2001, the Archives received a grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation to preserve and make prints of four film documentaries produced by ETSU professors Thomas Burton and Jack Schrader.
In 2006, the Archives expanded its recorded sound collections once again with the acquisition of the Lewis Deneumoustier Collection, consisting of over 25,000 recordings along with a large number of publications and ephemera that focus on country and bluegrass music.
Collections growth continued, and Collins placed an emphasis on formalizing a range of policies that clarified workflows and standardized collection development and research access.
The Archives also officially initiated an education and outreach program in 2012, with the hiring of its first Education and Outreach Archivist.
As a result of this program, additional resources were devoted to supporting student research and scholarship, including the creation of a new electronic classroom and student learning center in 2014.
At the same time, Archives staff curated a major new permanent exhibit in the reading room, highlighting the broad range of scholarly and creative projects that the Archives’ collections have supported over time.
Work digitizing collections also continued, as the Archives laid the groundwork for a partnership with the Sherrod Library’s Digital Commons to provide online access to official ETSU publications.
In 2019 the Archives was also able to award its first research grants through the annual Margaret Anne Byrd Huffman Archives of Appalachia Endowment Grant which supports ETSU faculty members and students who utilize materials from the Archives in research or creative projects.
As the Archives looks to the future, it remains grounded in its ongoing commitment to excellence and its dedication to serving the people of southern Appalachia.
The Archives has a proud history as a center for education and creativity that engages students, faculty, and the broader Appalachian community in historical and cultural inquiry.
Through its unrivaled collections, innovative and collaborative history of outreach, and patron-centered service, the Archives continues along its original path of serving southern Appalachia by preserving the stories of the people and the institutions that have made this region what it is.
East Tennessee State University founds the Archives of Appalachia to promote an awareness of and appreciation for southern Appalachia’s culture and history.
During these early years, the Archives receives manuscript, print, photographic, and media collections that document all aspects of life in Appalachia, laying the foundation for a collection that now extends from the 18 through the 21 centuries.
ETSU formally establishes its University Archives as a division of the Archives of Appalachia with the transfer of the papers of the institution’s first three presidents: Sidney Gilbreath, Charles Sherrod, and Burgin Dossett.
The programs draw upon materials in the Archives’ collections and are presented hundreds of times to over 5,000 people for free throughout southern Appalachia.
The Archives serves as a test facility for the SELGEM program (Self Generating Master) developed by the Smithsonian Institution for cataloging and indexing archival collections.
The following year, the Archives is a part of an NEH-funded study of the use of computers in archival settings; one result of which is MARS (the Microcomputer Archives and Records Management System).
ETSU receives a grant from the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) to establish the Center of Excellence for Appalachian Studies and Services (CASS).
Through this association, the Archives receives support for additional staff and equipment, as well as funding for a range of preservation and outreach projects.
The Archives’ holdings continue their robust growth, adding hundreds of new collections on a range of historical and cultural topics related to southern Appalachia.
·        unique recorded sound collections including the Mary Elizabeth Barnicle and Tillman Cadle Collection of field recordings (1930s-1950s) and the Stoneman Family Papers.
This is the first of nearly a dozen grants the Archives will receive over the next decade, totaling nearly $350,000, to preserve its collections.
The Archives moves from its original location, in what is now known as Nicks Hall, to its present location on the fourth floor of the Charles C. Sherrod Library.
This move gives the Archives much-needed space for collections storage, a larger reading room, and a dedicated facility for its state-of-the-art media preservation lab.
Over time, the lab acquires the capacity for digitizing more than a dozen formats of analog audio and moving image materials, creating over 25 terabytes of digital files.
The Archives undergoes a significant facilities renovation that includes the creation of a new electronic classroom and student learning center, along with the curation of a major new permanent exhibit in the reading room that highlights the broad range of scholarly and creative projects that the Archives’ collections have supported over time.
The Archives launches the Margaret Anne Byrd Huffman Archives of Appalachia Endowment Grant, which is awarded annually to support ETSU faculty members and students who utilize materials from the Archives in research or creative projects.
The Archives places increased emphasis on providing digital access to its collections, establishing its first digital collections portal, enhancing its infrastructure for digitizing oversize print items, and providing online streaming access to a portion of its media collections.
The Archives receives grants from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation and the National Recording Preservation Foundation that allow for enhanced access to its recorded sound collections.

Club Sportiv Tunari, commonly known as CS Tunari, or simply as Tunari, is a Romanian football club based in Tunari, Ilfov County.
Founded in 1992 the club situated near Bucharest was re-branded as CS Tunari in 2004, reaching the Liga III in 2009, where it plays since then.
In the same period in the commune near Bucharest was built a new stadium and Tunari promoted in the third tier in 2009, since then being a constant presence at this level, registering the following rankings: 9th (2009–10), 7th (2010–11), 10th (2011–12), 13th (2012–13), 8th (2013–14), 4th (2014–15), 12th (2015–16), 3rd (2016–17), 7th (2017–18) and 6th (2018–19).
Tunari means Gunners in Romanian and the commune has on its Coat of Arms a cannon, fact that brought the original name, a tribute to English football club Arsenal F.C.
In 2009, in an interview granted to sport.ro, Lucian Costache, chairman of the club reported how in 1996, when the club was still named Arsenal Tunari, they sent a letter to the English club asking for some original kits, but no answer was ever sent.

Tariq Amir Owens (born June 30, 1995) is an American professional basketball player for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association (NBA), on a two-way contract with the Northern Arizona Suns of the NBA G League.
He played college basketball for the Texas Tech Red Raiders and St. John's having transferred after his freshman year at Tennessee.
As a junior at St. John's, Owens averaged 8.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and a Big East Conference-best 2.8 blocks per game.
After going undrafted in the 2019 NBA draft, Owens did not play in the NBA Summer League but suited up for the Phoenix Suns.
Owens had a double-double with 14 points and 15 rebounds in a 117-113 loss to the Texas Legends on November 12.
On January 5, 2020, Owens led the team in scoring with 18 points to go with nine rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across in a 101-93 victory over the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, helping snap a 13-game losing streak for Northern Arizona.
Marie-Louise is a term used to refer to the last conscripts raised in the First French Empire, raised for Napoleon's army.
The name derived from Empress Marie-Louise who issued decrees dated 9 October 1813 ordering the conscription of 280,000 men but it has been extended more widely to those that served as conscripts between 1813 and 1815.
Men were required at this stage of the war to defend against an anticipated invasion of north-east France by the Sixth Coalition.
Owing to a manpower shortage the conscription was extended for the first time to those aged 18 and those as short as for the first time.
Despite this the French Army was too small to oppose the allies and, following the capture of Paris, Napoleon abdicated in 13 April 1814, bringing the war to a close.
Conscription in France was based on the Jourdan-Delbrel law of 1798 which required a military obligation (not necessarily service under arms) from men between 20 and 25 years old.
The time in service was set at 3 years though this was extended at the discretion of the state in wartime.
By 1813 Emperor of France Napoleon I's Grande Armée was severely depleted as a result of losses suffered in the unsuccessful 1812 invasion of Russia and the ongoing German Campaign as well as from diseases such as typhus.
Napoleon considered that he was 110,000 soldiers short of those needed to defend France ahead of an anticipated invasion of north-east France by the Sixth Coalition.
In order to widen the pool of recruits the minimum height for conscripts was reduced to from (to which it had been reduced in 1810).
In practice by 1814 the standard was merely nominal and in cases where conscripts had no other defects men shorter than were regularly accepted.
During the year continuing campaigns and the bottling up of French garrisons in strongholds following the loss at the Battle of Leipzig also reduced the forces available to the Emperor.
By the end of the year, Napoleon's field army had fallen to just 70,000 men, of whom only 30-50,000 were effective at any given time.
The age at conscription was in some cases as low as 18, though such men were given assurances that they would not be deployed outside the boundaries of the Empire.
The quota lottery, which allowed a portion of conscripts an exemption, was not used and the process was speeded up: conscripts would be posted to a regimental depot within 2 days of appearing before the conscription board.
The required quotas were not derived from populations of the departments but seem to have been based on the deficits from previous levies in each region.
The levy was posponed in Pas-de-Calais, Somme, Nord, Deux-Sèvres, Vendée, Loire-Inférieur due to previous or ongoing civil disturbance and were not implemented in Loir-et-Cher, Indre-et-Loire, Côtes-du-Nord, Finistère and Vienne as these departments were still working to fill previous levy quotas.
In addition the levy was postponed in 24 Midi deparments until 11 February and in practice did not actaully take place until 26 March.
The initial Marie-Louise levy was therefore limited to parts of South-East France, Lyon and the immediate vicinity of Paris, the 32 departments closest to existing depots.
The number of men actually incorporated into the army from the Marie-Louise decrees has been estimated at only 25,000, of whom the majority (20,144) went into the Imperial Guard, mainly the Young Guard.
The conscripts received a hurried and abbreviated training programme, though Napoleon specified that all conscripts should receive some form of musketry training, even if much shortened.
A training period as short as a fortnight was not uncommon, with few receiving as much as a month's training; this was less than the conscripts called in 1813 who had, in principle, 90 days training before joining their regiments.
The men were generally poorly trained in the traditional soldier's skills of marksmanship, drill and skirmishing; though some had earlier experience with muskets in civilian life as poachers.
Napoleon recognised the limitations of poorly trained troops and requested that battalions formed entirely from conscripts be half the usual size to allow a better supervision ration from the units officers and non-commissioned officers.
He employed such units as a means of holding static positions in his lines, though the Young Guard saw service as shock troops, deployed en mass in compact formations.
Paris fell on 30-31 March and Napoleon retreated to Fontainebleau where he agreed to abdicate on 13 April, bringing the war to a close.
The most restrictive is that to those raised only in 1815 by the decrees of Empress Marie-Louise signed on 9 October 1813.
Others use it to describe all conscripts of 1814 and 1815 and a third group for any of those conscripted between 1813 and 1815.
The term is believed to have originated among the grognards of the Old Guard, as a manifestation of the black humour widespread in France towards the end of the war.
Although common in the writings of military veterans such as Fabvier it was not picked up by military historians for many years.
The use of the term, with its associations with popular support for the Imperial cause, declined over time as political attitudes changes in France.
However, it saw a resurgence in popularity in 1914-15 as men were called up for duty in that war and came to be applied to this class also.
Houssaye's quotation was used during this time to refer to the fervour of the new conscripts but the conscripts of this war were far better trained than their forebears.
Even when depicting conscripts of the Napoleonic Era artists of the Bourbon Restoration such as Nicolas Toussaint Charlet and Auguste Raffet do not use the term.
Depictions of the Marie-Louises in art increased after 1870 as the Franco-Prussian War inspired artists to draw upon the spirit of 1814.
There was a resurgence of interest in the Marie-Louises during the First World War, due to France once more calling upon conscripts when threatened with invasion.
A monument at the site of the Battle of Craonne which honoured the original Marie-Louises was destroyed in fighting early in the war.
Its central feature is a staue of an 1814 soldier and an 1914 poilu, who together hold up a French standard.
The sculpture takes some artistic license in depicting the 1814 soldier in a standard 1812 army uniform, not the limited equipment that would have been worn by the typical 1814 conscript.

Millions of men work as unskilled labourers in foreign countries, leaving the household, agriculture, and raising of children to women alone.
Most of the working-age women are employed in agricultural sector, contributions to which are usually ignored or undervalued in official statistics.
Trade unions have played a significant role in earning better working conditions and workers' rights, both at the company level and the national government level.
Worker-friendly labour laws, endorsed by the labour unions as well as business owners, provide a framework for better working conditions and secure future for the employees, but their implementation is severely lacking in practice.
Among the highly educated, there is a significant brain-drain, posing a significant hurdle in fulfilling the demand for skilled workforce in the country.
Millions of unskilled labourers work abroad, primarily in the GCC countries and Malaysia, contributing around 28 per cent of the country's total GDP.
On the other hand, thousands of well-educated and skilled workforce emigrates to the developed countries in the Americas, Europe and Australasia.
As many as 66.5 per cent of men and 59.7 per cent of women employed in Nepal, are employed in the informal sector.
According to the labour force survey of 2008, only 16.9 per cent of the employment was in wage employment, with the rest identifying as self-employed.
Of the 11.53 million working-age women, 8.5 million are in the labour force (employed or seeking employment), with only 2.6 million of them actually employed.
The low figure of employment is mostly attributed to the fact that women employed in subsistence farming (making no recorded profits) as well as homemakers were counted among the unemployed.
Because of continued outmigration of men from rural agricultural villages, women have been forced to take complete responsibility of the household which includes growing crops, animal husbandry, household chores and raising children.
73.9 per cent of the population employed in agriculture was composed of 84.3 per cent of all working women compared to 62.2 per cent for men.
According to the Nepal Labour Force Survey (NLFS) in 2008, 40.4 per cent of the child population was economically active, with 51 per cent of it being child labour.
A series of discussions between the brick factory owners and the government in 2018, led to the signing of an agreement to end child labour in the sector.
Some child labourers, particularly in the agricultural sector in the Terai and in the households of affluent families throughout the country, are employed in slavery-like conditions.
However, the system is believed to still persist in practice as many freed kamaiyas have begun returning to their former landlords, as law-enforcement isn't strict, and freed labourers lack other opportunities for livelihood.
As the payment is made to the parents, the kamlaris are slaves to the landlord for the duration of the contract, and are subject to violence and abuse.
The practice was officially banned in 2013, and more than 12,000 kamalaris freed, but it still exists in some parts of the country, as freed Kamlaris from families in extreme poverty have begun returning to their former landlords.
The whole family is bonded to the landlords, and the indentured status is passed from father to son for many generations.
However, due to the failure of the rehabilitation efforts, many haliyas are reported to have gone back to their former landlords to make their living.
In recent years, the number of immigrants from South Asia and elsewhere, applying for a work permit for employment in high-skilled jobs has been increasing.
The Social Security Act that came into force in 2017 set minimum monthly wage for industrial workers at Rs 13,450, a daily minimum wage at Rs 517, and an hourly minimum at Rs 69.
Minimum additional entitlements include provident fund and gratuity contributions worth 18.33 per cent of basic wage, festival allowances worth 8.33 per cent of basic wage, as well as planned increases to maternity support, health and accident insurances, taking the total minimum additional entitlements to around Rs 2,500.
Enterprises with more than 50 employees are required to provide a break room and canteen, whereas a child care center is mandated, either by itself or jointly with another, for companies that employ more than 50 female workers.
Labour permit may be obtained for a maximum of 3 to 5 years depending on the skill level, with a potential for extension of up to two additional years from the Ministry of Labour.
Labour Act 2048 was repealed by Nepal Labour Act 2074, enacted in 2017, following the establishment of the federal republic and drafting of the new constitution.
The history of worker rights campaigns and trade unions in Nepal, begins with the Biratnagar Mills Workers' Association, which under the leadership of democratic revolutionaries from Nepali Congress and Communist Party of Nepal, were able to organise a strike for the first time on 4 March 1947, beginning the revolution for democracy that successfully toppled the Rana regime and established constitutional monarchy in 1951.
In the short term, they were successful in persuading the Rana regime to increase their wages by 15 per cent, and full wages for the duration of the strike.
After the establishment of democracy, the union split into All Nepal Trade Union Congress and Nepal Trade Union Congress, and rapidly polarised as leftist and non-leftist during the cold war.
Many independent industry-based workers' unions came into being in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the tourism, transport and hospitality sectors.
By 1996, the CPN UML affiliated GEFONT and Nepali Congress affiliated Nepal Trade Union Congress (NTUC) were the only two recognised confederations of trade unions.
After the maoist party entered the peace process in 2006, its affiliate trade union, the All Nepal Federation of Trade Unions (ANFTU) entered as the third major trade union confederation.
However, following the merger of CPN UML and CPN (Maoist Centre), GEFONT and ANFTU are in the process of negotiating a merger.
Trade unions work together with investors, NGOs, INGOs and the government in developing policies, laws, rules and regulations related to worker welfare.
In Paris, before the Revolution, it was necessary to be bourgeois of Paris to be able to exercise public functions related to the city, such as provost of the merchants, alderman or consul, but also in the different corporations or guilds.
To be bourgeois of Paris, according to the article 173 of the Custom of Paris, one had to have his domicile in Paris as tenant or as owner for at least a year and a day.
The bourgeois of Paris had privileges and duties: they were free from having to pay the Taille, but they had to pay the taxes of the city, contribute to public charity, arm themselves at their own expense to participate in the urban militia .
The genealogies of the bourgeois families of Paris are still poorly known as are the names of families who can claim to be part of them.
This was to be proven by a receipt of rent or personal capitation, and not by renting a room or staying in a furnished hotel.
In other words, anyone who owned a home in Paris (but not in the suburbs) as owner or tenant, and who resided there for over a year, was a bourgeois of Paris.
Recently Laurence Croq, who has devoted a thesis to the study of the notion of the bourgeois of Paris in the 18th century, said that this quality had a polymorphous characteristic.
According to Article 112 of the Custom of Paris, the bourgeois of Paris can not be forced to plead in defence elsewhere than in Paris, including in civil matters for purely real rights, and that throughout the kingdom.
The quality of bourgeois of Paris gave some privileges almost equal to those of the nobility, the oldest being the exemption from mortmain, then from the Taille and freehold, to benefit from the noble guard.
At an early period, the bourgeois of Paris had received from King Charles V the right to wear helmed and/or crested coats of arms and to carry a sword.
The capacity of bourgeois, that is to say of citizen of a city having political rights in opposition to the simple inhabitants, forms the base of the urban organisation of cities.
This urban system in Europe dates back for many cities still existing today to Greco-Latin antiquity, others were founded around the year one thousand.

Dr. James D Brenton is a clinician scientist and Senior Group Leader at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, University of Cambridge.
He is an Honorary Consultant in Medical Oncology at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge University Hospitals, Ovarian Cancer Domain Lead for the 100,000 Genomes Project by Genomics England, and Co-Founder and Clinical Advisor to Inivata Ltd, a clinical cancer genomics company.
Dr Brenton studied Medicine at University College London, graduating in 1988, and trained in Medical Oncology at the Royal Marsden Hospital and Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto.
He completed his PhD at the Gurdon Institute before attaining a Senior Clinical Research Fellowship for his work at the MRC Cancer Unit.
In 2007 he became a Senior Group Leader at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, leading the Functional Genomics of Ovarian Cancer laboratory.
His team discovered a ubiquitous TP53 mutation in high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), the most common form of ovarian cancer, which was adopted as a critical marker for diagnosing HGSOC by the World Health Organisation.
In 2015, his team was the first to measure the tumour heterogeneity in a solid tumour and link this to cancer survival, finding that HGSOC was more deadly if it consisted of a patchwork of different groups of cells.
In 2018, Brenton published the first national effort to investigate cancer evolution in HGSOC, discovering seven distinct genetic patterns that could predict disease behaviour in response to treatment.
The Siege of Najaf was an engagement between the British army and local rebels in the city of Najaf during World War I.
The city had fallen under the control of four sheikhs in 1915 after an anti-Ottoman uprising, and was put under British control in 1917.
The British subsequently laid siege to the city on 23 March, denying access to food and water before the city ultimately surrendered on 4 May 1918.
Following the Ottoman defeat in the Battle of Shaiba in mid-April 1915, the Ottoman authority in the eyes of Mesopotamian Arabs had been shattered.
In the city of Najaf, locals felt confident enough to begin directly challenging local Ottoman authority, and were ready for an open revolt.
After a 3-day long gun battle, the Ottoman governor in Baghdad negotiated the safe withdrawal of the soldiers stationed in the city.
According to the second account, a survivor of the Battle of Shaiba, Karim al Haji Sa'ad, entered the town, which was under martial law at the time, with 30 men through a hole in the wall and resisted Ottoman attempts to retake Najaf for 24 hours, before help allowed him to secure the city, leading the Ottoman troops present to withdraw.
Charles R. H. Tripp notes that although the revolt was anti-Ottoman in a broad sense, the uprising was not in support of the British war effort and instead intended to grant the city higher administrative autonomy.
In either case, the rebels had secured for themselves an independent city under the rule of 4 different sheikhs of the Zuqurt and Shumurt: Saiyid Mahdi al Saivid Salman, Haji ‘Atiyah Abu Qulal, Kadhim Subhi and Haji Sa‘ad ibn Haji Radhi.
All sources agree that the British captured Najaf in 1917, but disagree on the details: According to Abbas Kadhim, Najaf's independence ended in July 1917 when the British appointed captain Francis Balfour as political officer for Shamiyya and Najaf.
According to Keiko Sakai, the pro-British Anaza tribe migrated to the vicinity of Najaf in October 1917, and when they were attacked by the Najafis for refusing to pay taxes, the British sent a force to directly assume control.
In early January 1918, a small number of British troops arrived in Kufa, which likely led the Najafi sheikhs to believe they were hard-pressed in other fronts.
In mid-January, a British cavalry patrol was fired on by Najafis, and when the British demanded an explanation on 14 January, the Najafi sheikhs instead began attacking British posts and troops in Najaf, marking the start of an open revolt.
Since the sheikhs were unable to mobilize popular support in Najaf, the British were able to swiftly recapture the city on 19 January, ending the first revolt.
However, tensions between Arabs and the British rose as it became increasingly clear that the British were aiming to occupy, not liberate, Iraq.
A bazaar trader named Haji Najm al-Baqqal, who was a major member of the organization, hoped that a daring act of violence would provoke the entire city, or possibly even the entire country into an open revolt against Britain.
In the morning of 19 March 1918, a number of Najafis led by Haji Najm al-Baqqal disguised as Shabanah, the British-paid Arab police, entered the citadel of Najaf where they murdered Captain W. M. Marshall, who had been stationed in the city since 1 February 1918.
They were subsequently driven out of the citadel by members of the Punjabi guard, who then found themselves besieged by members of Jam'iya al-Nahda al-Islamiya.
British Captain Francis Balfour, stationed in Kufah, responded by evacuating half the police, while the other half sought refuge in al Saivid Salman's house.
On 23 March, 4 days after the uprising began, the British began to besiege the city, surrounding the city with barbed wire.
The Najafis took possession of a group of mounds, collectively known as Tel Huwaysh, and manned the city walls and bastions with troops armed mainly with abandoned Turkish rifles.
Over the next 2 weeks, sporadic rifle fire was exchanged between the British and Najafi forces while the siege was increasingly tightened.
On 7 April, the British launched a large artillery barrage and captured the Huwaish mounds dominating the town with 2 Indian battalions and evacuated officials.
A new uprising in 1920 would be much larger in scope and duration, but would nonetheless still be ultimately suppressed by the British.
This is part of a nationalist narrative of early-modern Iraqi history that seeks to place major events under an all-encompassing drive towards Iraqi independence.
To support his view, he notes that the initial Najafi demands to the British did not contain any mention of Iraq.
The first legal provision restricting the professional existence of the German-blooded partner in a mixed marriage was enacted on 30 June 1933 and concerned prospective civil servants.
On 6 September 1933, the General Synod of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union passed a church law concerning the legal relations of clergy and church officials.
At the end of 1938, the Reichsärzteführer determined until further notice that no German who was married to a Jewish woman or a Jewish half-breed could be appointed as a doctor.
In October 1944, Heinrich Himmler then ordered all men of the groups defined as such, who were fit for service, to be transferred within three days to construction battalions of the Organisation Todt.
On November 2, 1985, Wade Tillman is in Hoboken, New Jersey when the psychic wave from the sudden appearance of a giant squid in New York City strikes.
Laurie informs Wade she bugged his desk and overheard Wade talking to Angela about a bottle of pills and needs to know what he tells Angela.
Wade is lured to an abandoned building by the Seventh Kavalry, where he finds the set of the church in the videos and the Kavalry testing a teleportation device.
One Kavalry member reveals himself as Senator Joe Keene Jr. Joe explains both he and Judd Crawford led different parts of the Kavalry to keep them in check, and coerces Wade to learn from Angela what she knows of Judd's murderer.
The video, made by Adrian Veidt on November 1, 1985, explains his staging of the squid attack to future President Robert Redford, and his need for the President's help in some long-term plan.
At the station, he brings Angela to his desk to return the pills and tell her what they are, and asks her what she knows about Judd's death.
Meanwhile, Adrian Veidt is assisted by his clones of Phillips and Crookshanks into a survival suit tied to a lifeline, and then launched by catapult out of his prison.
The episode opens with the climatic scene from the limited series of the 1985 appearance of the giant squid in New York City, which killed millions from the psychic blast from its arrival.
Damon Lindelof, the series' showrunner and writer, wanted the television series to bring to life some of the limited series' imagery, including the aftermath of the squid attack, before production started.
The sequence ends on a pull-back from Hoboken to downtown New York City, which used a mixed of practical and special effects.
The scenes set in Hoboken were filmed in Atlanta, while the rest was computer generated imagery to show the chaos of the blast.
The size of the squid was not clear from the limited series as it only appears in a few panels, but Lindelof wanted the creature to be as tall as a five-story building.
The effects team took much of the imagery from the limited series to incorporate into this sequence, such as tentacles from the squid appearing embedded in buildings, while keeping it to a realistic look.
With the squid sequence planned, Lindelof came onto the idea that it would have long-lasting emotional effects on people like PTSD, which would have been a necessary element of Veidt's plan to prevent the nations from regressing back to a nuclear war long after the event.
This led to the creation of Wade Tillman/Looking Glass as a person that continued to suffer from the PTSD of the squid attack.
Lindelof used fear as a major theme behind Looking Glass's character, not only in reaction to the squid attack, but as well as the trauma he suffered from being caught in a compromising sexual situation just prior to it, compounded by the squid attack.
Lindelof created that situation based his own experiences from when he was a teenager, having been scared about sex knowing others of his age were far more confident about it.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the episode has an approval rating of 100% with an average score of 8.89 out of 10, based on 28 reviews.
In its original broadcast in the United States on HBO, the episode received 752,000 viewers, which was an increase from the previous week.
Jennie Van Name Hughes was from Ocean Grove, New Jersey, the daughter of George Hughes (1823-1904) and Abby Townley Van Name Hughes.
Her older sister Eliza Ann Hughes Davis was also a missionary in China, her older sister Mary Ernsberger was a missionary in India, and her older brother George Mead Hughes was a Methodist minister.
Hughes went to China as a missionary in 1905, commissioned by the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church to teach in Jiujiang.
She worked with Shi Meiyu (Mary Stone), and the two traveled to the United States together in 1907 for Stone's health.
Hughes was in the United States from 1910 to 1912, for the Woman's MIssionary Society's jubilee celebrations, touring with other American women missionaries to speak at events in different cities, including Pittsburgh Washington, D.C., and Oakland.
In 1915 Hughes and Stone were injured in a car accident in La Jolla, California, and stayed in the United States into 1916 to recover.
After another leave and lecture tour in the United States in 1919, the pair left the Methodist mission at Jiujiang in 1920, over a disagreement about doctrine.
In 1939 they moved to Pasadena, California with their three adopted daughters, Mary, Grace, and Norma, and two other girls, Loretta Soong and Eileen Chen Lin.

The Hayward Indian Boarding School, located in Hayward, Wisconsin, was established on September 1, 1901 as a school predominantly for the Chippewa (Ojibwe) of the Lac Courte Oreille Reservation.
In 1923, it housed a total of 1309 individuals: 251 boys under age 20, 232 girls under age 17, 386 men aged 20 and over, and 440 women aged 17 years and older (see Student Population 1923 table).
Overpopulation, poor sanitary conditions, unclean water, inconsistent heating, and imperfect sewage and ventilation systems caused diseases to be common among students.
Unwillingly, Native Americans were compelled to leave behind the ideas of their own beliefs and to learn the ideas of Christianity.
One of the first steps to start the assimilation process was students were forced to cut their hair and change their names.
The purpose of the school was not just to teach students a skilled trade but was also a way to teach students Christian morals and beliefs.
In 1887, the United States government planned to establish a boarding school on the Oneida reservation as an incentive for the Oneida Nation to accept the subdivision of land according to the Dawes General Allotment Act of 1887.
The school prohibited students from speaking their native language, so students who did not understand any English hid from supervisors to speak freely and avoid whippings.
Due to financial issues, the school closed in 1918, despite the protest of some Oneida parents who wanted to maintain formal US government educational opportunities for their children.
Later in 1924, the school was purchased by the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay, and it reopened as a boarding school for both boys and girls, named the Guardian Angel Boarding School.
The Oneidas earned total ownership of the school site in 1984 when the Catholic Diocese sold the buildings to the Oneida Nation, which were then renamed as the Norbert Hill Center.
Sent to Oneida in 1892 by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to oversee the construction of the buildings, Charles F. Pierce was the first superintendent of the Oneida Government Boarding school and held the position from 1893 to 1899.
His wife supervised five teachers at the school: Lucy P. Hart, Alice Cornelius, Mary E. Bonifant, Mary M. Shirk, and Moses E. King.
Under Hart’s watch, boys were taught agricultural skills such as gardening, maintaining livestock, and using tools; while girls were taught domestic tasks like cooking, cleaning, and other household chores.
As an extension of the boarding school system, Native American students were encouraged to work in the household of white families during the summer.
This practice was meant to promote further assimilation into Euro-American culture and prevent Native Americans from participating in their culture while they were not in school .
The work they completed for white families was often related to farming, and students would do tasks such as tending to crops and livestock.
In addition to the Americanization of the Oneida children, the Outing System was meant to discipline students and breaking the rules implemented by many families led to severe punishments, such as whipping.
This strict lifestyle change forced the students to quickly adapt to their new environments, thus preventing them from being exposed to their culture.
The Menominee Indian boarding school, also known as Saint Joseph’s Indian Industrial school, was an American Indian boarding school located in Wisconsin.
According to the 1932 statistical report, school lands took up four-hundred-forty acres of land out of a total of five-hundred-five acres under jurisdiction by the agency.
Despite the great effort by the Franciscan Order, the school ended up following typical trends in that the Indian Office stopped allowing religious figures to teach in the schools while beginning to follow the strict education plan created by Richard Pratt.
When forced to live on the Menominee reservation around 1852, the Menominee tribal members tried to adapt to a new way of life, but they found the advice from the federal officials ineffective.
The Menominee were interested in the US State government education system and were willing to try agriculture and education if the US federal government would end the harsh life forced upon them by being restricted on a small reservation.
By 1870, the US federal government regularly began to provide education funding for tribal reservations, even when no treaty stipulations required it to do so.
Over the next decade, the issues that arose between the Menominee Nation and the U.S officials over the implementation of boarding schools had some sort of religious component to them.
After a U.S. federal government inspector visited the reservation in the summer of 1876, they recommended a manual labor boarding school in Keshena, Wisconsin, so the government then decided to found a school that would fulfill what was envisioned.
When the school first opened, the priest on the reservation said he would expel any church members who decided to send their children to the government schools because he did not support the idea of boarding schools and having kids adopt to the American lifestyle.
This then changed when the priest was told that he would not be able to allowed to exercise his practices of being a priest for the Native Americans.
In order to remain in the reserve, the priest no longer persecuted and excommunicated parents from his church which lead to 102 students signing up for school, with an average attendance of 76 students.
The tribe then approved of spending six thousand dollars to construct a new building, which in time would begin a new era in Menominee schooling which would last well into the twentieth century.
As a result, an increased number of Menominee children attended boarding schools, but most did so on the reservation in Keshena rather than at an off-reservation school.
At the same time, as a mission school, Saint Joseph’s was experiencing significant financial trouble due to a clause added in 1897 to the federal Indian appropriations bill that forbade government funding from going towards non-secular schools.
These two developments combined to put Saint Joseph’s in a tight financial situation as they were forced to take in more Native American students than they could afford.
In 1897, the government permitted the school to tap into the Menominee logging fund which was a trust held by the government that contained money owed to the Menominee people.
However, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs insisted that the school send around a yearly petition that stated that they wanted this money to be disbursed to the school, rather than the original per-capita plan.
Another one of the objections was that the initial wording of the petition suggested that those who signed the petition would receive a reduced disbursement.
School administrators would also attempt to get the needed signatures by refusing to bury or threatening to excommunicate those who did not sign.
Over the years, Saint Joseph’s would become a landmark that the Menominee's favored, with Father Engelhard writing in 1933 that they had unanimous support in the community.
In 1933, the Menominee tribe petitioned the federal government and the new presidential administration for Saint Joseph’s to be merged with the government boarding school, finding it easier to work with Saint Joseph’s than the Indian Agency.
Following the merger, a Menominee Catholic, Ralph Fredenberg, was appointed as an Indian agent in 1934 by Commissioner for the Office of Indian Affairs, John Collier.
However, tensions grew between Fredenberg and Saint Joseph’s as Fredenberg advocated a transition from literary education to vocational education, as well as a transition from compulsory attendance to attendance based on demonstrated usefulness.
In 1937, the school was inspected, and it was found that they had not done enough to comply with the shifts recommended by Fredenberg.
The school failed to comply with inspection recommendations, and in 1941 action was taken, and Father Engelhard was replaced by Father Benno Tushaus.
In 1945, Father Benno Tushaus attempted to address one of the issues raised by the inspection by requesting a school bus to pick up students who lived far from the school.
He cited a shortage of teachers as the official reasoning, but later admitted that it was due to the fact that the Menominee no longer needed boarding schools.
When the focus of boarding schools was the assimilation of Native Americans into American culture, the schools served a clear purpose.
The Tomah Indian Industrial School, which opened in 1893, was a non-reservation boarding school in Wisconsin located along a main railroad that connected Chicago, Milwaukee and St.Paul.
As the first school of its kind to exist in Wisconsin, it was esteemed for its literary education and religious influences.
This was done by placing more advanced students on nearby farms to perform manual labor while at the same time allowing students to better their English.
Subjects that were offered in the school included religious practices, social life, music, athletics, and military training, and the level of education went through 8th grade excluding kindergarten.
By the end of the school year, each girl in the sewing class would be able to take a piece of cloth and make a dress for any child without any help.
Examples of how these goals were achieved included religious conversions, celebrations of US federal holidays, attending regular church services, learning patriotic and folk music, giving different names to the children, and learning English.
The school was well-liked by the US Department of The Interior, and many Native Americans of that era who lived near the school wished their children to attend in order to provide them with a formal American-style education.
He joined the Socialist Youth Federation in 1920, becoming active in the anti-fascist movement, and by 1923 was serving on the federation's national committee.
In 1925, Novella undertook national service with the military, but he continued his political activities, and as a result spent time in military prison.
He was discharged the following year, and became a leading supporter of Gramsci, serving on the central committee of the Italian Communist Youth Federation (FGCI).
In November, he was sentenced to four years in prison in absentia, but he evaded capture until the middle of 1927.
He undertook numerous missions for the group, also serving on the executive of the Communist Youth International, and studying at the Tolmačev School in Leningrad, and Sverdlov Communist University.
Novella was arrested in 1942, but the Vichy regime was unaware of his true identity, and so he was soon released.
From 1945, he served on the Italian Communist Party (PCd'I)'s central committee, and in 1946, he was elected to the assembly of the Province of Genoa.
Novella worked as the PCd'I's regional secretary for Liguria, then Lombardy, then from 1948 was the principal organiser of the Italian General Confederation of Labour (CGIL).
From 1955, he was the leader of the Federation of Metallurgical Workers, then in 1958, he was elected as general secretary of CGIL.
In 1970, CGIL voted to separate its leadership from that of the PCd'I; Novella chose to retain his position on the central committee of the party, and resigned as the federation's secretary.
The area is associated with the TV sitcom ‘Last Of The Summer Wine’, which was filmed in Holmfirth and the surrounding areas.
The reservoir has a picnic area, two free car parks and there are also some benches around the lake that provide a quiet place of reflection.
There are two main walking routes, the long walking route is 5 miles and goes as far as Blackpool Bridge in Holmfirth.
The shorter route is an easy circular Peak District walk around the reservoirs, which starts at the car park at the North Eastern end of the reservoir, off Gibriding Lane.
It leads around to the North End of the reservoir on Kirklees Way, passing by Bilberry reservoir through to Digley Wood on the southern side of the water, before returning to the car park using Fieldhead Lane.

The MAI-60 (; English: Snowflake) was an FAI Standard Class, single seat sailplane designed and built in the USSR in the early 1960s.
The Snezhinka was a prototype single seat, standard class ( wingspan) sailplane with a largely traditional wooden structure but with PVC foam filler strengthening.
Its high aspect ratio, mid-set, straight tapered wings had a laminar aerofoil and were built around a single, wide box spar.
Its cockpit was ahead of and over the wing leading edge, with its pilot in a semi-reclined seat under a single-piece, jettisonable canopy which ran smoothly into the raised rear fuselage.
Testing over 1961-2 showed that the flight characteristics were poor, with directional instabilities and a need for large pitch inputs, and that its spin behaviour was unsual.
It was not the first, nor the only riverboat casino at the time in the Quad Cities; the Diamond Lady began operating April 1, 1991 in Bettendorf, while The President sailed from Davenport, Iowa and Jumer's Casino was working out of Rock Island, Illinois.

It is fielded by the Georgian Football Federation (), the governing body of football in Georgia, and competes as a member of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), which encompasses the countries of Europe.
As hundreds of players have played for the team since it started officially registering its players in 1990, only players with 10 or more official caps are included.
Georgi Nemsadze became the first Georgian international to reach 10 caps, doing so on 26 June 1994 in a 3–1 win against Latvia.
Midfielder Levan Kobiashvili holds the record for most caps, appearing in 100 of official games for Georgia between 1996 and 2011.
Defender Zurab Khizanishvili had the longest national team career with Georgia, making his 92 appearances over 16-year period between 1999 and 2015.
The goalscoring record is held by forward Shota Arveladze, scoring 26 times in 61 matches between 1992 and 2007, including two hat-tricks.
He writes warmly of his childhood memories, and how his family, friends and relatives were closely integrated into the discipline of the textile mills that provided most of the population with employment.
Aspin attended Helmshore Council School and, after a period during the war when he was often seriously ill, he passed a scholarship examination and started at Haslingden Grammar School in 1944.
Here he was able to see the international professionals who played for the club as part of the Lancashire Cricket League, which gradually became an important part of his life.
Aspin acted as the Secretary of Haslingden Cricket Club for over 40 years, and has a suite named after him at the club.
After school Aspin undertook National Service in the RAF and, on completing this, he formed Helmshore Local History Society with his friend Derek Pilkington.
During the 1960s, with Derek Pilkington and others, he helped with the transition of Higher Mill, Helmshore, into its current role as Higher Mill Textile Museum.
Throughout his writing Aspin has returned over and over to the ways in which Haslingden and Helmshore have changed and developed over the last century.
Many of his books record the coming and going of the mills, which once dominated the skyline; the switch from railway to motorway; and the changes of the last half century, which have made both Haslingden and Helmshore popular residential areas for people working in Manchester and other large towns.
Aspin's research in the 1970s on poverty in working-class Salford, Manchester and elsewhere in Lancashire led to the journalist Stanley Graham's writings on cholera and sanitation in the slums.
He has also authored, sometimes in partnership with another local historian, John Simpson, several books of historic photographs of the district.
As well as his writings on local and textile history and heritage, Aspin has written a number of short books for children young people.
During his later years he has also has written booklets of ghosts and hauntings (typically taking place within Rossendale), and is a member of the Society for Psychical Research.

The Boston University-Maine men's ice hockey rivalry is a college hockey rivalry between the Boston University Terriers and the Maine Black Bears in the Hockey East conference.
The rivalry was born out of fierce on-ice competition between the two schools, especially in the 1990s and early 2000s, as the two schools were routinely at the top of the Hockey East standings and battled each other for conference supremacy.
In the early years of Maine's program, the rivalry was one-sided and had not yet truly formed, as Boston University dominated Maine on the ice, defeating them 13 consecutive times between 1984 and 1986, one of the worst losing streaks to a single opponent in Maine's history.
Once legendary Black Bears coach Shawn Walsh took over the program, however, the tides started to turn, and Maine began to make up ground.
One notable meeting between the teams occurred on February 19, 1993, at Alfond Arena in Orono, home of the Black Bears.
Midway through the third period, Maine was leading by a score of 6-2, and it appeared they would cruise to another easy victory.
However, the Terriers would rally, and manage to score four unanswered third period goals to tie the game at 6-6 and send it to overtime.
In the overtime period, Terriers forward Mike Prendergast would get a breakaway from center ice and proceed to score the game-winning goal for the Terriers, giving them a stunning 7-6 victory and handing Maine their first loss of the season.
However, this would end up as Maine's only loss the entire season, as they would not lose another game all season and win their first national title with a stunning 42-1-2 record, including defeating the Terriers twice more by a combined score of 11-3.
Boston University would have their revenge, however, winning a national championship of their own in 1995, defeating Maine in the national title game 6-2.
The on-ice rivalry between the schools was often overshadowed by the personal rivalry between the coaches, Walsh for Maine and BU's own legendary coach Jack Parker.
While they often had choice words for each other during their coaching careers, Parker spoke kindly of Walsh during his cancer treatment and following his 2001 death.
While some fans view Boston College and New Hampshire as BU and Maine's historical and primary rivals, respectively, fans from the heat of the rivalry in the 1990s and early 2000s may report that in their opinion, either Maine or BU is their schools true rival, not UNH or BC.
Even after Walsh's 2001 death, the rivalry has remained heated and competitive, meeting in the Hockey East playoff tournament in 2002, 2004, 2009, 2010, and 2012, with Maine winning each matchup aside from 2009.
On January 24, 2004, the two teams combined for 268 penalty minutes in one game, a men's college hockey record that stands to this day, and stood as the all-levels, both genders record until 2013.
The majority of the penalty minutes were accrued during a brawl at the end of the game, which was a 1-0 victory for Boston University.
Even as Maine's team performance has declined in the latter part of the 2010s, games between the teams remain tense, chippy affairs, and simultaneous success for the teams would lead to a rejuvenation of the once-heated rivalry.

Eddison Zvobgo, one of the ZANU–PF founders, was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Masvingo South from its creation in 1985 until his death in 2004.
In a by-election held on 11 October 2004, the ZANU–PF candidate Walter Mzembi was elected unopposed after the opposition Movement for Democratic Change did not put forth a candidate.
The Legislative Council had nine seats; four elected, three held by government officials and two by nominees appointed by the Governor.
The assembly of the bourgeois and citizens of Geneva constituted the General Council, the number of bourgeois entitled to vote in the General Council did not exceed fifteen hundred persons.
Interestingly, most citizens of Geneva came from neighbouring Savoy because many of them worked and participated in the administration of the city of Geneva.
There were a number of revolts against nepotism (free admission) and the influx of foreigners, particularly the French Protestant refugees whom Calvin forced into the bourgeoisie to ensure his domination.
The bourgeois, who have obtained a privileged status, and their descendants, the citizens, hold the upper hand: they enjoy all the political rights and many economic privileges.
In front of them, the inhabitants and their descendants, the natives, form a population without political rights and hampered in its economic activities.
Due to the French invasion of Switzerland, the bourgeoisie of Geneva is no longer a privilege since 1798, and all Genevans have been ordinary citizens since that date.
The capacity of Bourgeois, that is to say of citizen of a city having political rights in opposition to the simple inhabitants, forms the base of the urban organisation of cities.
This urban system in Europe dates back for many cities still existing today to Greco-Latin antiquity, others were founded around the year one thousand.
The Legislative Council had nine seats; four elected, three held by government officials and two by nominees appointed by the Governor.

The core of the project consisted of Petr Muk and Petr Kučera, with consistent support from Petr Hons, three musicians who were until 1993 also active in the popular Erasure-influenced band Oceán from České Budějovice.
The trio was complemented by a number of rotating female vocalists including Jana Benetová, Jana Feriová, Jana Badurová, and later Jana Petrová, Linda Finková, Michaela Klímková, and Olina Mašková.
During the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia, the band Oceán, thanks to their manager Jiří Vatka, had the opportunity to open for the English duo Erasure in Prague.
Following this, the trio of Kučera, Muk, and Hons came up with a number of song ideas which didn't appeal to the rest of the band, so they decided to create a side project, which they called Shalom.
Petr Muk continued being active in the music scene, with a number of successful solo albums, numerous roles in operas and musicals, until his unexpected death in 2010.
Petr Kučera also released a number of solo albums following the demise of his two most successful bands, and in 2011 he returned with a new incarnation of Oceán, which also includes Petr Hons.
Johann Heinrich Richartz (15 May 1796 – 22 April 1861) was a German businessman and patron of the arts, best known as the main funder of the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum.
Johann Heinrich Richartz took over his father's business in the leather and wild hide trade after completing an apprenticeship in Mainz, Brussels, and Antwerp.
The aim of the foundation was to include the art collection of the collector Ferdinand Franz Wallraf, which he had left to the city in 1824, in the completed municipal museum.
In recognition, Frederick William IV of Prussia made him a royal Kommerzienrat and a member of the Order of the Red Eagle 3rd class, and in June 1857 the Universal Society for the Encouragement of Arts and Industry awarded him a gold medal.
His will left another 100,000 thaler to fund a lunatic asylum on the condition that the interest for the next ten years was used as an acquisition fund for the new museum.
He also left 9,000 thaler to expand the Minoritenkirche next door to the museum, 2,500 thaler to Cologne Cathedral, and 2,000 thaler to fund a charity place at the Rheinischen Musikschule.
On 10 April 1900, a bronze statue of Richartz by Wilhelm Albermann was unveiled outside the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum's original site (now the Museum for Applied Arts).

A nicotine base and a weak acid such as benzoic acid or levulinic acid is used to form a nicotine salt.
A free-base nicotine solution with an acid reduces the pH, which makes it possible to provide higher levels of nicotine without irritating the throat.
The speed of nicotine salts uptake into the body with the use of electronic cigarettes is close to the speed of nicotine uptake from traditional cigarettes.
Nicotine salts are less harsh and less bitter, and as a consequence e-liquids that contain nicotine salts are more tolerable even with high nicotine concentrations.
Nicotine salts in aerosol form do not generate the sensation of irritation in the chest and lungs that regular cigarettes do.
As of September 2018, there were no less than 39 similar Juul devices as well as 15 Juul-compatible pods being offered.
Tested show that the pod mods Juul, Bo, Phix, and Sourin contain nicotine salts in a solution with propylene glycol and glycerin.
Advertisements state nicotine salt liquids contain 2 to 10 times more nicotine than those found in the majority of regular e-cigarette products.
Throckmorton grew up in Bellevue, Washington and attended Newport High School, where he played both offensive and defensive line for the football team.

John Williamson (), more commonly known by the nickname Johnnie Notions (, ) was a self-taught physician from Shetland, Scotland, who independently developed and administered an inoculation for smallpox to thousands of patients in Shetland during the late 18th century.
Despite having only an elementary education and no formal medical background, the treatment he devised had an extremely high success rate, resulting in the immunisation of approximately 3,000 people and the saving of many lives, which had a significant effect on the demographics of the Shetland population at the time.
While Notions administered his inoculation by at least the late 1780s to early 1790s (and likely much earlier), his method was largely overshadowed by the work of Edward Jenner, who pioneered the cowpox-based smallpox vaccine in 1796.
Despite this, Notions and his inoculation were held with high regard with Shetlanders at the time, while the same could not be said for the cowpox-based vaccination introduced to Shetland in subsequent years.
It has been suggested that the practice of naming John by his father's own surname, not adopting the patronymics system that was prevalent in Shetland at that time, indicates that his immediate family could be considered progressive and modern for the time.
John Williamson's birth year is not known with any certainty – while his tombstone states he was born in 1740, some have suggested he was born as early as 1730.
His place of birth is also not certain, but is thought to be Hamnavoe, Eshaness, in which the Williamson family lived from at least the late 1740s and possibly much earlier.
Shetland, being a relatively isolated community, was susceptible to outbreaks of smallpox throughout the 18th century that would spread through large proportions of the population due to a lack of immunity to the disease.
In 1700, an outbreak of smallpox arrived in Shetland when the son of a local man had visited mainland Britain, where he had contracted the disease and spread it upon his return to Shetland.
The 1740 epidemic required the extension of the Lerwick cemetery by , while in Fetlar a further 120 people died – this was exacerbated by a hard frost lasting over a month that prevented the dead from being buried.
He would then dry it using peat smoke (which was believed to lessen the virus's virulence), and bury it in the ground with camphor (which has anti-bacterial properties, preventing the matter from decomposing).
It would be kept in this state for up to 7 or 8 years to reduce its virulence before being administered to a patient.
By using a knife (which Notions made himself) he would cut into the patient's arm intradermally (without drawing blood), insert a small amount of the inoculant, and immediately cover the incision with the patient's skin, before using a cabbage leaf as a plaster.
Notions' inoculation bears a strong similarity to the Suttonian method, which also involved the introduction of weakened smallpox matter into the patient through intradermal means.
How Notions became aware of this method of inoculation is unclear – it may have been through written account, or through discussion with someone else aware of the technique, such as another physician or a member of the clergy.
It is not known whether the success of the inoculation technique used by Notions was due to its ability to decrease the virulence of the smallpox matter, or to the shallow intradermal insertion of the inoculant.
Reverend Andrew Dishington, the parish minister for Mid and South Yell, attested to the success of Notions' treatment:Unassisted by education, and unfettered by the rules of art, he stands unrivalled in this business.
...It is particularly remarkable, that there is not a single instance in his practice, where the infection has not taken place, and made its appearance at the usual time.In Arthur Edmondston's account, he commented that Notions' work:...met with such unexampled success in his practice, that were I not able to bear testimony to its truth, I should myself be disposed to be sceptical on the subject.
...Had every practitioner been as uniformly successful in the disease as he was, the small-pox might have been banished from the face of the earth, without injuring the system, or leaving any doubt as to the fact.
Also, it is possible that Notions' treatment may have caused some patients such as Lowrie Tulloch of Burravoe, Yell, or James Park of Fetlar to have been blinded.
According to this story, Williamson was at Gifford's house, presumably on business, and the landlord asked him to rid his house of 'checks', small noisy wood-boring beetles.
'Notions is also said to have constructed a complex functional miniature watermill, which was based on a mill which he had only viewed a single time.
It was capable of performing the same function of bleaching as the original mill through the power of a hand-turned crank.
The only known remaining work of Notions is a wig stretching block that was made for James Cheyne, 7th Laird of Tangwick (the great-grandfather of Sir William Watson Cheyne), who was the laird of the area around Eshaness.
The block is said to have been made in the image of a man from Hillswick who contracted smallpox and was treated by Notions.
It is made from a worm-eaten piece of wood, the holes of which were filled with smaller pieces of wood to portray the smallpox scars on the man's face.
The oculometer computes eye movement by tracking corneal reflection relative to the center of the pupil.An oculometer, which can provide continuous measurements in real time, can be a research tool to understand gaze as well as cognitive function.
The oculometer relies on the principle that when a collimated light beam is incident on the eye, the direction in which the eye moves is proportional to the position of the reflection of that light beam from the cornea with respect to the center of the pupil.
Eye movement and tracking have been studied for centuries, with the very first eye tracking being simple observation of the eyes, by either oneself or another.
The first improvement on this occurred in 1738, when an observer would feel the outside of closed eyelids to track eye movement.
This device only recorded horizontal movements, until the work of Judd and colleagues in 1905 added both temporal and vertical recording.
Due to the many applications of an eye tracking device to aviators and pilots, NASA and the United States Air Force carried out extensive studies on this technology, propelling the field forward.
Since the principles governing the workings of the oculometer rely on a relatively simple concept (electro-optical sensing of the eye), it ensures that the oculometer will be functional whenever the user is seeing.
Additionally, the position of the reflection of the collimated beam from the cornea can be approximated to be on the plane of the pupil.
This implies minimal parallax error between the corneal reflection and the center of the pupil, thus making the oculometer insensitive to changes in the head position during measurements.
This can be overcome by either rigidly fixing the head to prevent any movements, however this is intrusive and uncomfortable for the user and not broadly applicable for human research studies.
The optical design of the oculometer allows normal vision, directs light from a fixed internal source onto the eye of the user, and forms the image of the pupil on a detector.
The device also consists of a polarization system to polarize the light from the source (typically a glow modulator tube) in the H direction.
In order to attenuate the light from the source through reflections in the eyepiece, a linear polarizer in the V direction is placed in the optical path.
A quarter wave plate is placed between the eye and the eye piece and rotates the plane of polarization by 90 degrees thus ensuring that the V-polarizer does not attenuate the true corneal reflections.
D is displacement, formula_4 is the distance from the center of the cornea, formula_5 is the angle of inclination of the eye’s optical axis to the oculometer.
First, NIR light is less detectable to the human eye than other wavelengths of visible light, so the NIR light beam is less intrusive or noticeable to the user.
Second, with this configuration the pupil is backlit, resulting in a bright disc, effectively differentiating the pupil from the rest of the eye and face.
This arrangement does not include the traditional eye-piece and user sees through a transparent, curved visor placed in front of his eyes.
When the  user first sees through the eye piece, a rough raster scan captures the black pupil and bright reflections from the cornea.
Eye direction from the time-division-multiplex scans are computed by the superposition of the scan positions of corneal reflection and pupil positions.
In case of device malfunction or loss in continuity due to the user blinking their eyes, the device switches back to the acquisition mode until tracking is restored.
In recent designs, the acquisition mode has been automated to ensure that the pupil/iris boundary was instantly captures once the user sees through the eye piece.
Further, flight programs can use the oculometer to inform cockpit design in terms of instrumentation panels, by studying the gaze of pilots as they fly.
For this reason, NASA and the US Armed Forces have utilized oculometers in their training programs, creating the Oculometer Training Tape Technique in the late 1900s.
A NASA research project regarding the oculometer was to realize the ability for a person to control a machine using their eyes, which firstly necessitates eye movement measurements.
NASA engineered a telescopic oculometer in which a user looks through an eyepiece, and given that the user can see through the eyepiece, eye movements will be measured.
Aviation requires robust, sharp cognitive function, and the eye is part of the central nervous system as they are extensions of the brain, linking cognitive function with healthy eye function.
Using those eye movement patterns both as a diagnostic tool and for monitoring disease progression has therefore been of scientific interest.
The use of oculometers for diagnosis of motor diseases is promising, though it has not yet been validated in the clinic.
For Parkinson’s disease specifically, the signature pattern of eye movement abnormalities occur as horizontal saccades (rapid, conjugate, eye movement that shift the center of the vision field).
Patients with Parkinson’s disease displayed high inabilities in performing antisaccadic tasks (eye movement in the opposite direction from the onset trigger).
For this application, the electronic design of the traditional oculometer has been modified to replace complex real-time video processing such that the oculometer could fit on light weight eyeglasses and have relatively long battery life.
These glasses work by projecting light from a few different directions using infrared LEDs on the user’s eyeball and receives the refracted light from discrete infrared proximity sensors also placed at a few different locations.
The use of multiple detectors not only enables oculometers to be used as lightweight wearables but also ensures that signals detected by the sensors are not dependent on external illumination.
The major disadvantage of the use of sensors compared to continuous video processing is the significant decline in accuracy since measurements are both reduced in frequency and number of measurements.
This was the first time the championship game was played at this venue after the prior five games had been played at Municipal Stadium in Daytona Beach, Florida.
The Morningside Mustangs, led by 19th-year head coach Steve Ryan, entered the national championship game as the #1 seed and the defending champions, having won their first national championship the year prior.
A total of sixteen teams were selected to participate in the single-elimination tournament from across the country, with invitations that were revealed on Sunday, November 17, 2019.
The field was then filled with at-large selections that were awarded to the highest ranked teams that were not conference champions.
First-round seedings were based on the final regular-season edition of the 2019 NAIA Coaches' Poll, with certain minor modifications given based on travel and geographic considerations.
Hitchin Priory in Hitchin in Hertfordshire is today a hotel built in about 1700 on the site of a Carmelite friary founded in 1317, which was closed in the Dissolution of the Monasteries during the reign of Henry VIII.
Parts of the original priory are incorporated in the existing building, which has been a Grade I listed building on the Register of Historic England since 1951.
In 1317 Edward II granted to the Carmelite Friars a messuage in the parish of Hitchin where they could build a church and house for their habitation.
In May 1534 the Prior John Butler took the Oath of Supremacy and on 17 October 1538 he and four friars surrendered to Sir William Coffyn and Henry Crowche, the King’s Commissioners.
Thomas Parrys, acting as bailiff for the Crown, sold the plate and ornaments while the bells, lead, glass, tile and stone were stripped and the steeple knocked down – the desecrated site becoming a quarry for the local townspeople.
At that time the buildings of the priory consisted of a mansion house with a frater (refectory) and dorter (dormitory) over the cloister, a church, the 'old hall,' the Prior's lodging, and two little chambers for the brothers in addition to a kitchen, barn and other premises.
There were also other tenements belonging to it in Bridge Street and Bull Street in Hitchin, which were leased out with the convent garden.
With the exception of the mansion house, which had been kept in a good state of repair following the Dissolution, the remaining buildings were in a poor condition: 'all the buildings were sore decayed and very ruinous both in timber and tile for lack of reparations' with the former priory gardens 'like yards or waste places of ground'.
The 1546 survey of Hitchin Priory was made before the estate was sold that year for £1,541 to two property speculators, Sir Edward Watson of Northampton and Henry Herdson, a London skinner; also in 1546 they purchased Shrewsbury Abbey.
From Watson and Herdson Hitchin Priory subsequently passed to Edward Pulter, who in turn sold it in 1582 to Ralph Radcliffe (died 1559).
Over the next three centuries the Priory passed to various members of the Radcliffe family until it came into the possession of Hubert Delmé-Radcliffe, J.P., on whose death in 1878 it passed to his brother Francis Augustus Delmé-Radcliffe.
This original structure would appear to have been constructed of flint rubble and clunch with the now lost priory church located to the south.
However, nothing earlier than the 15th century is visible and these ancient remains are located in sections of the north, or frater, range of the west range.
The present structure was almost entirely built in 1770–1 by the politician and MP John Radcliffe who inherited Hitchin Priory from his uncle Arthur Radcliffe in 1769.
He rebuilt the house in 1770-71 of plastered brick, standing about the four sides of a courtyard, which represents the old, small, cloister garth.
The walls of the courtyard have been considerably renewed over the years but in the north and west wings are many blocked arches of the original cloister arcade.
The ground storey displays a shield of the Radcliffe arms is together with the initials R R S and the date 1679.
This has an arcade of five semicircular arches with the one remaining open arch being the main entrance to the building.
The north elevation is of the late 18th century and is in an elaborate Palladian design; the south wing was completely rebuilt at around this time and contains the main rooms.
The east wing has some early 17th-century panelling while in a small north room is a plaster ceiling dating to the same period with cable and foliate decoration.
Since 1951 the complex of buildings including Hitchin Priory, the Garden Bridge, Coach House and stables have formed part of the Grade I listing on the Register of Historic England.
Today Hitchin Priory is a 52 bedroom hotel sitting in 19 acres of parkland with an indoor swimming pool and a golf course making it a popular venue for weddings, conferences, etc.
This alga is to be found all around the British Isles as far north as the Shetlands.Further south it is recorded to Portugal.

The present building was constructed in the Gothic style between 1513 and 1525 on the remains of earlier Roman and Romanesque churches, making it the latest surviving Gothic church in the city.
Efforts were made to secure the more important pieces of church furniture such as the stained glass and altarpieces, but much of the opulent woodwork such as the altars, pulpits and 1907 organ in its 1820 case were lost to the fire.
Initial measures were put in place to make the site safe in 1950 and the rest of the restoration was almost complete by 1960, led by government architects Karl Band and Wilhelm Schorn.
Only a few restored or reconstructed furnishings were placed in the building, including the medieval font and the wrought iron Baroque grille.
In July 1960 the Jesuits took over the church and from September of that year one of them, Alois Schuh, was made the parish priest.

It consists of a complex of lava domes and lava flows with a total volume of and bears traces of a former glaciation, even though it does not currently carry glaciers.
Volcanic activity took place during the Pleistocene and the last eruption was 250,000 years ago; since then Uturuncu has not erupted but active fumaroles occur in the summit region.
The volcano rises within the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex, a larger province of large volcanoes and calderas which over the last few million years have emplaced about in sometimes very large eruptions.
Starting in 1992, satellite observations have indicated a large area of regional uplift centered on Uturunku, which has been interpreted as an indication of large-scale magma intrusion under the volcano.
Uturuncu lies in the Sur Lípez area of southern Bolivia, southeast of the town of Quetena and just northeast of the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve in the Cordillera de Lípez.
A former sulfur mine is situated on the mountain, close to the summit, and was considered to be one of the highest in the world; a winding road leads up on the mountain and additional roads pass along the northern, eastern and southwestern foot of Uturuncu.
The region is almost uninhabited and the volcano was little known until ongoing large-scale ground deformation was discovered in the early 21st century; since then scientific interest has increased, including a reconnaissance mission carried out by scientists in 2003.
With elevation, Uturuncu is the highest mountain in southwestern Bolivia and dominates its geomorphology, rising about above the surrounding terrain and giving a good view of the surrounding mountains from the summit.
It is a stratovolcano with remnants of a crater, and consists of lava domes and lava flows erupted from a number of vents in the central part of the volcano.
About 105 lava flows propagate outward from the central sector of the volcano, reaching lengths of and featuring levees, flow ridges and steep, blocky fronts over thick.
The northernmost lava flow is known as Lomo Escapa and with a length of it is also the largest lava flow at Uturuncu.
Five lava domes south, west and northwest of the summit form a northwest-southeast trending alignment that appears to be an older volcanic system; the southern of these domes have volumes of about and the western dome bears traces of a large collapse.
It appears to consist entirely of lava flows and lava domes; while the occurrence of pyroclastic flow deposits was reported at first later research has not found any evidence of explosive eruptions.
Aside from volcanic deposits there are also traces of glaciation which has smoothened the slopes of Uturuncu, as well as Pleistocene and Holocene alluvium and colluvium.
Mama Khumu lies on the eastern foot of Uturuncu and is bordered by steep slopes, while Laguna Celeste is located northeast, Chojllas southeast and Loromayu south of Uturuncu respectively.
The Rio Grande de Lipez flows along the western foot of the volcano and receives tributaries which originate close to Uturuncu's northeastern foot; it eventually flows into the Salar de Uyuni.
These watercourses are usually confined between steep bedrock walls and are characterized by a gravelly beds, anastomosing channels and wetlands which are used to keep llamas and sheep.
The eastward subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South America Plate has generated three volcanic belts within the Andes, including the Central Volcanic Zone which spans parts of Peru, Chile, Bolivia and Argentina and includes Uturuncu.
Aside from Uturuncu, it includes about 69 Holocene volcanoes in a high elevation region, including the potentially active volcanoes Irruputuncu, Olca-Paruma, Aucanquilcha, Ollagüe, Azufre, San Pedro, Putana, Sairecabur, Licancabur, Guayaques, Colachi and Acamarachi.
Uturuncu has formed about east of the main volcanic front in the Western Cordillera, in a terrain formed by various volcanic and sedimentary rocks of Miocene to Quaternary age.
The region is characterized by the Altiplano high plateau, which reaches an elevation of and in terms of dimension is only exceeded by Tibet.
The 8.41 million years old Vilama and 5.65 million years old Guacha ignimbrites underlie the volcano and crop out in the Quetena River valley, while the 4 million years old Vilama lavas are found southwest of Uturuncu and are partly buried by the volcano.
Volcanic activity in the area occurred between 15 and 10 million years ago, and Cerro San Antonio, a heavily eroded 3 million years old Miocene volcano with a westward-opening collapse scar, lies just north of Uturuncu.
Other volcanoes from east counterclockwise to west are the Cerro Panizos caldera, Cerro Lípez, Suni K'ira and Quetena volcanoes as well as many more minor volcanic centres.
Many of them are formed along northwest-southeast trending lineaments such as the Lipez-Coranzuli and Pastos Grandes-Cojina lineament that passes through Uturuncu.
After subduction commenced in the Jurassic, 26 million years ago the breakup of the Farallon Plate into the Cocos Plate and the Nazca Plate was accompanied by an increased subduction rate and the onset of the Andean Orogeny.
This subduction process at first involved a relatively flat descend of the Nazca Plate until 12 million years ago, after which it steepened.
It covers an area of - of the Altiplano-Puna in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile and consists of a number of calderas, composite volcanoes and about of ignimbrite.
The 4 million years old Atana and 3 million years old Pastos Grandes ignimbrites are other large ignimbrites in the area while the 10.33 ± 0.64 million years old San Antonio ignimbrite is more sparse.
The Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex is underpinned at about depth by a wide magmatic sill where rocks are partially molten, the Altiplano-Puna magmatic body.
Its existence has been established with various techniques; it extends over an area of and has a volume of about with a thickness variously estimated to be between ; it has been referred to as the largest reservoir of magma in the continental crust of Earth.
The Altiplano-Puna magmatic body is the source of magmas for many of the volcanoes in the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex; in addition, about of brine are contained in the rocks underneath Uturuncu.
Rocks are vesicular or porphyric and contain phenocrysts of biotite, clinopyroxene, hornblende, ilmenite, magnetite, orthopyroxene, plagioclase and quartz along with apatite, monazite and zircon within a rhyolite groundmass, and define a potassium-rich calc-alkaline suite.
Xenoliths consisting of gneiss, igneous rocks and norites have also been found, of which the first two appear to be derived from country rocks while the third is a by-product of the magma generation process.
Mixing processes involving hotter or more mafic magmas played a role in the genesis of Uturuncu rocks, as did fractional crystallization processes and contamination with crustal rocks.
The origin of these magmas appears to relate to the Altiplano-Puna magmatic body, which generates melts through differentiation of basaltic magmas first to andesites and then to dacites before being transferred to the shallow crust below Uturuncu from where it was then erupted through buoyancy-dependent processes.
Uturuncu currently features no glaciers; however, perennial ice was reported in 1956, the existence of sporadic snow fields in 1994, and the summit area is occasionally ice-covered.
Conversely, evidence of past glaciation such as glacial striations, glacially eroded valleys, both recessional and terminal moraines and roches moutonnées can be found on the northern, eastern and southern flanks of Uturuncu.
One of these valleys on Uturuncu's southwestern flank has been subject to glaciology studies, which identified a former glacier originating both from the summit and from an area about south of the summit.
This only weakly erosive glacier deposited five sets of up to high moraines within the shallow valley; the lowest of these lies at elevation and appears to be a product of an early last glacial maximum between 65,000 and 37,000 years ago, earlier than the global last glacial maximum.
Conversely, the uppermost of these moraines is about 16,000 – 14,000 years old and correlates to a glacial advance in the Altiplano that has been correlated to the maximum growth of the former Lake Tauca north of Uturuncu and a wet and cold climate associated with Heinrich event 1.
At this same time 17,000 – 13,000 years ago, shorelines formed around the lakes that surround Uturuncu; Lake Tauca may have been a source of moisture for Uturuncu.
After 14,000 the glacier receded at the same time as climate warmed during the Bolling-Allerod warming and the region became drier.
There is little information on local climatology, but mean annual precipitation is about or even less than that, most of it originating in the Amazon basin to the east and falling during December, January and February.
This low amount of precipitation is not adequate to sustain glaciers even though the summit of Uturuncu lies above the freezing level, but it is enough to generate a seasonal snowcap on the mountain.
Uturuncu was active during the Pleistocene, with a lower unit emplaced during the lower and middle Pleistocene (890,000–549,000 years ago) and which makes up most of the peripheral sectors of the volcano and an upper unit of middle to upper Pleistocene age (427,000–271,000 years ago) which makes up its central sector and is less extensive.
Volcanic eruptions at Uturuncu were effusive and involved the emission of voluminous lava flows () between pauses lasting between 50,000 and 180,000 years, with a mean eruption rate of less than -, much less than other rhyolitic volcanoes.
There is no evidence of large ignimbrite eruptions nor of large flank collapses but some lavas may have interacted with water or ice as they were erupted and were reportedly emplaced over moraines.
No large effusive eruptions have occurred since the 250,000 ± 5,000 eruption, and Holocene or recent eruptions have not been reported.
While it was at first proposed that postglacial lavas existed it is now known that the volcano has been dormant since 271,000 years ago and glaciation has affected the youngest lava flows.
Active fumaroles occur in two fields below the summit, with a number of tiny vents located between the two summit peaks; vapour emissions are visible from close distance.
The summit fumaroles have temperatures of less than and their gases contain large quantities of carbon dioxide, water and larger amounts of hydrogen sulfide than sulfur dioxide perhaps due to the latter being filtered out by a hydrothermal system.
The presence of a weak hydrothermal system is likely at Uturuncu albeit probably at great depth, considering the low temperature and spread out nature of the fumarolic activity.
Between 1992 and 2006, the uplift amounted to in an area wide but with variations over time such as a temporary acceleration after a 1998 earthquake, a gradual slowdown either continuing or followed by an acceleration to about in the few years before 2017, along with seasonal variations.
Overall, the total volume change between 1992 and 2006 was about , with a total volume change of about ; such rates are typical for intrusions in the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex and historical lava dome eruptions and might reflect a short-term rate.
The deformation is centered on an area west of the summit and is most likely of magmatic origin given the lack of a large hydrothermal system at the volcano and the depth of the deformation.
The form of the deforming structure is not well known but it lies presumably at a depth of below sea level.
The uplifting area is surrounded by a ring-shaped area of subsidence, which is occurring at a rate of ; the total width of deforming terrain is about although is it not clearly visible in all InSAR data.
The deformation it most likely caused by magma intruding into the crust from the Altiplano-Puna magmatic body, with the intrusion taking place at a level below that where magma accumulated prior to past eruptions of Uturuncu.
It has been described as an ascending diapir or as a growing pluton although an alternative theory holds the ascent of volatiles along a magma column reaching to the Altiplano-Puna magmatic body as responsible for the surface deformation; in that case the uplift might reverse over time.
Such surface uplift has been observed at other volcanic centres in the Central Volcanic Zone but on global scale it is unusual both for its long duration and its spatial extent, and in the case of Uturuncu demonstrates the continuing activity of the Altiplano-Puna magmatic body.
In addition, there is no evidence for a net uplift in the geomorphology of the region, and findings in the terrain around Uturuncu indicate that this uplift certainly began less than 1,000 years ago and likely also less than 100 years ago.
The uplift might be either a temporary deformation of the volcano that eventually deflates over time, or the current uplift might only be in its beginning stage.
In addition, the volcano features persistent seismic activity with occasional bursts of higher activity; about three or four earthquakes occur every day at the volcano, and seismic swarms lasting minutes to hours with up to 60 earthquakes occur several times per month.
Most of this seismic activity occurs below the summit of Uturuncu around sea level and some earthquakes appear to relate to the northwest-southeast tectonic trend of the region although swarms occur in several areal clusters.
Whether there are long-term trends in seismic activity is difficult to estimate as the detection and reconnaissance techniques of seismic activity at Uturuncu have changed over time.
This amount of seismic activity is large when compared to neighbouring volcanoes and the seismic activity may be a consequence of the deformation, as intruding magma pressurizes and destabilizes local faults, with further triggering possible by large earthquakes such as the 2010 Maule earthquake which triggered an intense seismic swarm in February 2010.
Magnetotelluric imaging of the volcano has found a number of high-conductivity anomalies below Uturuncu, including a wide, deep conductor that extends to the volcanic arc to the west and several shallower ones which ascend from the deep conductor which appears to coincide with the Altiplano-Puna magmatic body.
The shallow conductors appear to relate to local volcanoes such as the Laguna Colorada vent but also Uturuncu; the latter conductor lies between depth, is less than wide and may consists of molten rock with saline aqueous fluids.
Finally, tectonic stress patterns delineate a wide ring surrounding the volcano that may be prone to fracturing; such a ring could constitute a future pathway for magma transport or the margin of a future caldera.
Whether the ongoing unrest at Uturuncu is part of a benign process of pluton growth or the prelude of a new eruption or even a caldera-forming eruption is an open question; a large caldera-forming eruption could have catastrophic, globe-spanning consequences as demonstrated by the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia and the 1600 eruption of Huaynaputina in Peru; this possibility has resulted in international media attention.

Annabel A Kidston (1896-1981) was a Scottish artist who painted in both oil and watercolours and was also an etcher, engraver and illustrator.
She then spent some time in Paris where she trained with André Lhote at Académie de la Grande Chaumière before returning to Scotland and spending three years as the head of the art department at Laurel Bank School in Glasgow.
Kidston left that post in 1926 and enrolled at the Slade School of Fine Art in London where she was taught wood engraving by Thomas Smith.
During World War II Kidston worked for the Committee for the Education for the Forces, running art and painting classes for troops, many from Poland, stationed in St Andrews during the conflict.
Living in St Andrews, Kidston became a member of a group of artists, that included Józef Sękalski and Alison McKenzie and Winifred McKenzie, that sought to promote wood engraving and became known as the St Andrews School.
Kidston went on to hold a number of posts in the group and also spent some time between 1947 and 1950 as a part-time lecturer at the Dundee College of Art.
She was a regular exhibitor with the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts and also with both the Royal Scottish Academy and, on at least one occasion, the Royal Academy in London.
Both her sisters, Helen and Margaret, were also artists and after living in St Andrews, Kidston died at North Berwick in East Lothian.

The property may well have been at the site of Newton House, a house with four stories and an attic, which dates from the late 17th century.
The Leyniers family is a bourgeois family that appeared in Brussels in the 15th century and produced many high-level tapestry makers and dyers, experts in the art of dyeing in subtle shades the woolen threads destined for this trade.
Many members of this family also participated in the management of the city of Brussels and were part of the magistracy either in the Guilds or in the Seven Noble Houses.
The members of the Leyniers family exercised their art of tapestry making until the last quarter of the eighteenth century and many museums in Europe and the rest of the world have tapestries from their workshops in their collections.
Daniel Leyniers was the last of this family to have exercised in this industry but despite all his efforts he was forced during the winter of 1767-1768 to definitively close his workshops.
The Leyniers family who participated with honor in the Resistance paid a heavy tribute to the defense of the fatherland during the Second World War and was decimated by the German occupation, murdered in the concentration camps or by firing squads.

When the grapes are fully ripe and all other needed conditions are met, a very good quality red wine can be made from them.
At the end of the 19th century it was planted approximately on 90% of all vineyards in Istria and hence was the most widespread grape variety in Istria.
The wine is known for its persistency and slightly higher acidity than other similar wines and is best served at about 18 degrees Celsius.
Its colour is ruby-red, almost purple, and it has high tannins and a typical, fruity aroma which is easy to recognize.

Yakov Naumovich Drobnis (Russian: Яков Наумович Дробнис; 6 March 1890 – 1 February 1937) was a Bolshevik revolutionary who supported Leon Trotsky, and a defendant at one of the Moscow Show Trials.
Born to a large Jewish family of shoemakers, he became an apprentice shoemaker after leaving primary school, but ran away to Astrakhan at the age of 13.
As a Jew, he was not allowed to remain and was deported back to Hlukhiv, where he met a shoemaker who had deported from Baku for political activity that introduced him to other revolutionaries.
On his release, he moved to Vilnius, where he was arrested, for the third time in January 1915 and deported to Poltava, where he joined the local Bolshevik organisation.
In 1918, after the Bolshevik Revolution, he was a founder and member of the Central Committee of the Ukrainian Communist Party.
During this period, he was kidnapped by bandits who held him hostage in a cellar until the Red Army secured his release.
He was recalled from Ukraine in 1922, because of his involvement with the Democratic Centralists, and worked the government of the Russian Federation for year, then in 1923-27, for Administrative and Financial Commission of the USSR government.
Drobnis signed the Declaration of the Forty-Six in 1923, and backed Trotsky in the split that opened up within the Communist Party after the death of its founder, Vladimir Lenin.
In 1924, Drobnis was passed a letter written by a fellow oppositionist named Pililenko, who called for mass recruitment to the left opposition, and reputedly advocated creating a breakaway political party.
In 1929, he was arrested and deported to Siberia, but in 1930 he renounced the opposition and was reinstated as a party member.
On 23 September, there was an explosion in a mine in Kemerovo, in Siberia, close to where he was employed in 1934-36 as an assistant director of the Kemerovo Chemical Works.
Though it was probably an accident, the NKVD treated it as sabotage, and forced Drobnis to confess his role in planning the explosion.
He appeared as a witness when the director and eight others employed at the mine were put on trial in Novosibirsk on 19–22 November.

The 2020 International Rules Series will be the 21st International Rules Series contested by Gaelic footballers from Ireland and Australian footballers from Australia.
The series will be held in Ireland and is the first series to be arranged by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) and Australian Football League (AFL) since November 2017.
As the GAA had scheduled an exhibition hurling match between Galway and Kilkenny at the Sydney Showground Stadium in November 2018, the two associations met to discuss the prospect of holding a series the following year.
As time passed the prospect of a series in 2019 failed to materialise and the GAA eventually confirmed that insufficient time remained to stage the event.
In November 2019 the AFL and GAA announced dates for a two-test series in 2020 to be held in Ireland, and also confirmed a return series in Australia in 2022.
The GAA also revealed that a memorial will be staged ahead of the second test in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday massacre, which saw fourteen civilians killed at a Gaelic football match at Croke Park during the Irish War of Independence.

SS Gedania was an oil tanker built in 1919-1920 at Kiel, Germany for the Standard Oil of New Jersey's transatlantic shipments to Germany, and registered under the flag of the Free City of Danzig.
In 1940 the tanker was requisitioned by the Kriegsmarine and converted to a support ship for naval operations in the Atlantic.
In 1947 it returned to commercial service as Southern Garden with the South Georgia Company, transporting whale oil from the southern Atlantic, and carrying supplies and personnel to the whaling stations.
The steam tanker Gedania was launched in September 1919 by Howaldtswerke at Kiel, as Yard No 587, and given a Latin name for Danzig.
It was powered by a 4-cylinder quadruple expansion engine of 404nhp, also made by Howaldtswerke, driving a single screw propeller, giving the ship a service speed of .
In 1919, before the two ships were completed, they were transferred to Baltisch-Amerikanische Petroleum Import Gesellschaft (BAPIG), a Standard Oil subsidiary in the Free City of Danzig, and registered there in order not to be included in the war reparations arrangements under the Treaty of Versailles of 1919 which caused DAPG to lose their German-flag ships.
During her service with BAPIG, the vessel was largely used to transport oil from the ports of Gulf Coast of the United States and Mexico to Germany.
In 1933 the tanker's ownership was transferred to the Waried company and registry changed from Danzig to Hamburg, under German flag.
In 1922 a Bauer-Wach low pressure exhaust turbine was additionally fitted, increasing the engine power from 404nhp to 462nhp and 3000ihp.
After taking on some of fresh water, she sailed on the afternoon of 29 May with an escort of armed trawlers on a southerly bearing that would take her towards Bilbao.
A landing party visited the ship to search for any cryptographic material that may not have been destroyed and to sail her to Scotland.
The crew had left scuttling charges as they had left the ship as per instructions, but the damage to the ship was insufficient to sink her and she was soon sufficiently repaired to enable her to be get under steam.
The mission of the ship was initially thought to be as a supply ship for U-boats in the Southern Atlantic Ocean.
However it was noticed that she held specific ammunition that could only be used by surface vessels as well as containing space for 120 prisoners, all indicative of a mission to supply surface craft.
Certainly the initial mission of the ship seemed to be to sail into the Central Atlantic, then find and takeover the patrol of the supply tanker .
Despite repairs in the UK of damage from the scuttling charges when converted to a naval tanker, it continued to require further attention during its MoWT service.
The return voyage from Hong Kong to the UK via Abadan took six months, with stops for repairs in Singapore, Colombo and Karachi.
The accommodation added in 1940 intended for prisoners was upgraded to be used for transporting the crews of locally-based whale catchers and other employees.
During the major refit the ship caught fire and when leaving Liverpool in May 1948 engine trouble developed requiring a return for repairs at Birkenhead, where another fire broke out.
The ship had further engine trouble on her subsequent return from South Georgia and had to be assisted back before going to South Shields for extensive repairs.
The Other Side of Aspen is a 1978 American gay pornographic film produced by Falcon Studios starring Casey Donovan, Al Parker, and Dick Fisk.
The film was Falcon's first feature-length release, and is noted as one of the first adult films to be published on videocassette.
In San Francisco, a skiing instructor (Jeff Turk) recounts to his friend (Mike Flynn) a particular incident that occurred during his recent visit to Aspen, Colorado.
While traveling to instruct two clients (Al Parker and Casey Donovan), he witnessed two men (Chad Benson and Dick Fisk) having sex in a cabin.
Upon arriving at his destination, he found his clients also having sex; they are subsequently joined by the men from the cabin and the instructor in an orgy.
Having recounted the story, the instructor comments that he is aroused; he exposes his penis to his friend, who reaches for it.
Holmes regularly took skiing trips, and filmed scenes for the studio on one such trip so he could claim the vacation as a write-off.
The film's setting of Aspen, Colorado references the city's popularity as a destination for LGBT tourists; in 1979, the city was the first municipality in Colorado to pass a non-discrimination ordinance, and has hosted Aspen Gay Ski Week annually since that same year.
After filming concluded in Lake Tahoe, Holmes, director Matt Sterling, and Falcon co-founder Vaughn Kincey elected to shoot additional scenes of dialogue in San Francisco.
The film's first sex scene between Donovan and Parker was improvised; initiated as a still photography session, the encounter was filmed after the actors began to have sex of their own accord.
During the encounter, Donovan was fisted by Parker; this was cut from the film's original 1978 release, but was included in its 2002 re-release.
As the majority of Falcon's business was conducted through mail order, reservation cards and a brochure promoting the film were sent to the top customers on Falcon's mailing list.
In 2002, the film's re-release won Best Classic Gay DVD at the GayVN Awards, and Best Classic Video at the Grabby Awards.

In an egocentric network analysis, a singular individual, his or her network members, and (occasionally), the ties between those alters are the focal point of the analysis.
On the other hand, the sociocentric network approach utilizes a bounded group as the unit of analyses, examining all ties between actors in the group.
This has been utilized to study health in retirement communities and entire cities (e.g., the Framingham Heart Study), as well as in the workplace and classroom settings.
Sociocentric networks could be used to answer research questions focused on dyads, but the time, cost, and difficulty of collecting network data from all members in a bounded group is often prohibitive.
Because the dyad is selected for a specific network research question, they are more likely to be central members of their networks and better positioned to accurately report on their network contacts.
Because the focus of a duocentered network is only two individuals rather than a larger group, it will ostensibly be easier to gather usable information.
Unit non-response follows from this difficulty; if people are unable to report connections, certain analyses that rely on these connections may not be possible.
Compositional measures are the characteristics of the individuals who make up the network or other societal norms and structures that may influence the structure and function of a social network.
Compositional measures include social support, intimate relationship approval from network members, proportion of family or friends in the network, demographic characteristics, and norms.
Although primarily supported in egocentric network analyses, evidence suggest that dyads can influence the composition and structure of the duocentric networks in which they are embedded.
For example, Bryant, Conger & Meehan (2001) found that a wife’s marital satisfaction predicted lower discord between husbands and the wife’s parents at a later time.
One of the first studies examining duocentric social networks was Elizabeth Bott's 1957 finding that the density of spouse's separate networks is positively associated with marital role segregation, a finding now known as the Bott Hypothesis.
While Bott did not examine the overlapping network of spouses, her work was among the first to collect network data separately from both members of a dyad, and use that data to predict a dyadic phenomenon.
Additionally, one finding suggests that more equal numbers of each partner's family contained in the overlapping network is associated with higher marital satisfaction for heterosexual couples.
Additionally, marriages in which both spouses are in their first marriage have larger networks than marriages in which both spouse is remarried.
Other studies have highlighted non-results, including that social network density is not associated with relationship satisfaction and that density is not associated with marital role segregation (a refutation of the Bott Hypothesis).
One of the earliest examples examined the frequency with which two people mutually named one another in their respective network reports.
The study recruited one person who listed their network members, then those network members were contacted and asked to list their own network members.
Another study of parents of children with brain tumors found that overlap of non-kin was near 50%, while overlap for kin was slightly higher.
More peripheral overlapping ties (i.e., those to whom the couple is less close) was associated with lower rates of mental health disorders.
Monozygotic twins had the most overlap in their peer networks (82%), followed by same-sex dizygotic twins (67%), same-sex virtual twins (e.g., unrelated peers matched on certain characteristics; 62%), friend-friend pairs (48%), opposite-sex dizygotic twins (42%), same-sex full siblings (39%), opposite sex virtual twins (37%), and opposite-sex full siblings (27%).
Another example used pairs of corporations engaged in a business alliance as the focal unit, and found that the more common partners (i.e., overlap) between the two firms, the less likely their alliance would dissolve.
(2015) outline the most rigorous duocentric network study as one in which both members of the dyad report the specific individuals contained in their social networks.
However, the time and cost of this form of data collection has led researchers to use less stringent techniques to gather information on a dyadic network.
Rather than asking respondents to list the specific people contained in their social network, researchers occasionally ask for global perceptions of network qualities from both members of a dyad.
This methodology limits many structural analyses because the relationships between network members is unknown, unless the structural qualities are addressed at a global level (e.g., for global perceptions of overlap, see Kearns & Leonard (2004)).
For example, in the study of intimate relationship research, this methodology has been used to show how global perceptions of approval from the network vary across relationship stage, closeness to family predicts changes in marital happiness, the degree to which liking one’s partner’s family predicts relationship dissolution, the effect of network support on relationship satisfaction, and the relationship between time spent with the network and relationship commitment.
Another variant of the duocentric network approach is to interview only one member of a focal dyad, but require the individual to report on both their own and the other person’s social network, or the other individual’s relationship to their own network.
Another study asked respondents to report their perception of approval from their relationship partner’s family (another global measure), which was found to be negatively associated with relationship dissolution.
This method allowed the researcher to understand how much of the ego’s social network overlapped with his or her partner without collecting information from the partner.
Another study asked homeless youth to list recent sexual partners, other non-sexual partner network members, and the relationships between these alters.
The risk of unprotected sex was higher to the degree that sexual partners knew other members of the youth’s social network.
The pier serves for destinations to Ita Thao Pier and Shuishe Pier at the other perimeter sides of Sun Moon Lake.
Rusticoville is located south of North Rustico and in the central part of the province on the north shore, fronting the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
The regiment was raised on 16 September 1859 after the Kingdom of Sardinia had annexed Lombardy after the successful conclusion of the Second Italian War of Independence.
The regiment was instantly employed in the Italian campaigns in central and Southern Italy, earning a Bronze Medal of Military Valour for its conduct at Senigallia where it charged a column of papal troops.
During World War I the regiment served on the Italian front, earning its second Bronze Medal of Military Valour for its conduct during the Battle of Monastier on 19 June 1918.
Afterwards the regiment remained on the anti-partisan duty in occupied Yugoslavia until it dissolved around 8 September 1943 after Italy had changed sides with the Armistice of Cassibile.
For its conduct and work after the 1976 Friuli earthquake the squadrons group was awarded a Bronze Medal of Army Valour, which was affixed to the battalion's war flag and added to the battalion's coat of arms.
At this stage the Lancieri di Milano was equipped with a mix of Leopard 1A2 main battle tanks and VCC-1 armored personnel carriers.
With the end of the Cold War the army began to draw down its forces and one of the first units to disband was the Lancieri di Milano on 10 December 1989.
When Stajcic took over the job as coach of the Matildas in 2014, Barrett was elevated to the head coaching position.
While coach of Sydney, they played in the finals every year, and played in the grand final in 2016, where they lost to Melbourne City.
Barrett was then appointed as the coach for the Western Sydney Wanderers for the 2018-19 season, where he aimed to improve on the club's history of under-performance, but he was replaced after one season in charge with Dean Heffernan.
The show, featuring professional nanny Jo Frost, is an adaptation of the British series of the same name (also featuring Jo Frost).
Frost spends the first day in observation mode, taking mental notes to assess the situation and to devise a plan of action.
After the first day, she holds the parents' meeting (with clips showing the parents initial reaction), where she praises the family for their beautiful children and then mentions the problems noted.
For example, if she determines that the children are misbehaving due to a lack of scheduled activity time with the parents, she will bring in a set schedule, customized for the family's needs.
Sometimes the rules are predetermined by Frost, and other times she provides a blank paper and has the family devise them.
The parents' actions are still being filmed, and upon her return Frost calls another parents' meeting to praise them for doing well and/or show them where they went wrong.
Later episodes feature the family at a later time showing how well her techniques have worked, along with (after the credits, often featuring a blooper segment) a teaser segment for the next week's episode.
A side of the newssheet could be ready on a Saturday, while the final side would not be until the night before delivery.
The paper’s location moved throughout the town from the Acton Post Office in 1875, Matthews Hall, above Hotchken's Bakery, the Adams family property at the corner of Mill and John, finally settling in modern plants during 1927 and 1959.
A subscription cost of $1/year was set by Hacking, surging up to $4.00 in the 1960s, $7 for outside of Canada.
The paper followed the format of many community newspapers, with Neighbourhood News for surrounding areas, Sunday school psalms, local poetry, ads for the leather industry, vital records and tax reminders.
Joseph Hacking was born March 2, 1837, one of 12 children to William, a painter, and Margaret, of Leeds, England and Limerick, Ireland, respectively.
The earliest mention of his involvement in printing comes out of Detroit, circa 1864, where he is listed as a printer in the Commercial Advertiser office.
As to why this was, we can assume his father's purchase of an acre of land in 1855, where the post office (and future site of the paper) sits, may be related.
Having been incorporated as a village in 1865, the 800 strong community of Acton would now have a 4 page paper of its own.
Hacking wished to be clear regarding his paper's stance on politics from the outset, with this prospectus from the first issue.
This philosophy would be openly continued by subsequent publishers with Mr. Hacking's departure and hand off of the paper to the Moore brothers and Mr. Galbraith in 1877.
During this time, his Excelsior Printing House won awards for ornamental and letterpress work at the 1874 and 1875 Guelph Central Exhibition.
After the passing of his first wife while in Winnipeg, he relocated to Buffalo, married again and passed away April 18, 1895 at the age of 58.
With a glowing obituary in the April 25, 1895 issue of the Free Press, Hacking was laid to rest in a family plot near Listowel, Fairview Cemetery in North Perth.
Apprenticed to Hacking during the first years of the paper, T. Albert would leave soon after to become Moderator for the United Church of Canada, leaving his brother Henry Philip to take up the reins.
An Actonian from birth, H. P. was born on October 18th, 1857 or 1858, marrying Harriet Speight (whose sister Lottie was married to Thomas Albert) at the age of 22.
He would steward the newspaper through until his death in 1929, in the grand home called Moorecroft (corner of Frederick and Church Street) featuring a monumental stained-glass window of his hero, Charlemagne.
Henry was well-known for his homemade birdhouses he gave to children, and having struck up a friendship with Sir Harry Brittain, founder of the Commonwealth Press Union, which to led to an exchanging of town coat of arms with England's Acton.
He was a Police Magistrate for counties of Halton, Peel and Wellington, so dedicated to his position that the paper printed this during its 100th Anniversary issue.
Sons David and Jim Dills continued the Dills newspapers, David leaving the navy and Jim finishing a Journalism degree at Ryerson.
The paper historically served the communities of Eden Mills, Rockwood, Nassagaweya, Acton, Georgetown, Milton, Everton, Ospringe, Campbellville, Limehouse, Ballinafad, Silvercreek, Erin Village, Glen Williams, Moffat, Churchill, Ebenezer and Silverwood.
The 1926 NC State Wolfpack football team was an American football team that represented North Carolina State University as a member of the Southern Conference (SoCon) during the 1926 college football season.
In its third season under head coach Gus Tebell, the team compiled a 4–6 record (0–4 against SoCon opponents), finished in last place in the conference, and was outscored by a total of 102 to 66.
She received the Hamao Umezawa Memorial Award on November 24, 2017 at the 30th annual meeting for the International Society of Chemotherapy for Infection and Cancer, held in Taipei, Taiwan.
He served as the Director of Aviation, Headquarters Marine Corps and is considered a pioneer in the development of today's Marine Air Command and Control System (MACCS).
His radar and electrical engineering background led to his near decade long involvement with the development of the Marine Tactical Data System (MTDS).
He served as the commanding officer (CO) of Marine Air Control Squadron 3 (MACS-3) for more than four years from 1961-1965 as MTDS went through operational test and evaluation.
Later assignments included a tour in Vietnam as the CO of Marine Air Control Group 18 (MACG-18), time as Commanding General Marine Corps Air Bases Western Area and two years as the Director of Marine Corps Aviation.
The Marine Corps Aviation Association award given annually to the top Marine Corps Aviation Command and Control Unit is named in his honor.
He was the president of his senior class at the Missouri School of Mines and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering in February 1943.
North Carolina as a radar officer with the 9th Marine Aircraft Wing (9th MAW) and later with Aircraft, Fleet Marine Force Pacific in Hawaii.
Upon his return to the United States in January 1946, he entered flight training at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas.
He received his wings and was designated a Naval Aviator upon completion of flight training at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida on June 27, 1947.
After completing advanced training at the Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida he was assigned to the Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, California for duty as a flight officer with VMF-312 with a follow on tour as the Executive Officer of the station's Headquarters Squadron.
He remained at Quantico for a few more months before attending United States Naval Postgraduate Schools at Annapolis, Maryland and Monterey, California.
From June through October 1954 he refreshed his pilot qualifications with VMFT-10 prior to his next assignment as Executive Officer of VMF-115 from December 1954 until December 1955.
In June 1957, General Fris reported to Headquarters Marine Corps, Washington, D.C., for duty as Head, Aviation Electronics Logistics Section, Division of Aviation, for three years.
During his time at HQMC Aviation, then Major Fris was responsible for writing the Marine Corps' requirements for their new aviation command and control program of record - Marine Tactical Data System (MTDS).
In July 1959, he was made the Marine Corps Liaison Officer with Litton Industries in Los Angeles, California overseeing the design and development of the MTDS program.
From September 1961 until February 1965, he served as the Commanding Officer of Marine Air Control Squadron 3 (MACS-3) at Marine Corps Air Facility Santa Ana, California.
During this time, MACS-3 was the designated operational test and evaluation squadron for MTDS seeing it through numerous financial and developmental issues until officially fielded in 1966.
General Fris was reassigned to Headquarters Marine Corps in August 1966, as Head, Aviation Command Control and Communications Branch, Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff (Air).
He was the first officer to serve in this newly formed billet which today is known as Branch Head, Aviation Expeditionary Enablers (APX-1).
Following this assignment he took command of Marine Air Control Group 18 (MACG-18), in July 1968 and served a year in Danang, South Vietnam.
Upon his return to the United States, he was promoted to Brigadier General on August 22, 1969, and designated as Inspector General of the Marine Corp until July 1970, when he assumed duty as Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff (Programs).
Detached from Headquarters Marine Corps in October 1971, he again reported to MCAS El Toro, where he commanded the Air Station and Marine Corps Air Bases Western Area.
Following his promotion to Major General he returned to Headquarters Marine Corps and served as Deputy Chief of Staff for Aviation.
Following his advancement to Lieutenant General on August 27, l974, he became Commanding General, Marine Corps Development and Education Command (MCDEC), MCB Quantico, Virginia remaining in that billet until his retirement.
Lt Gen Fris passed away on 17 May 2010 and is buried in Quantico National Cemetery with his wife and son.
The Marine Corps Aviation Association's annual award for the Marine Aviation Command and Control Unit of the year is named after LtGen Fris.
The Animals in War & Peace Medal of Bravery was instituted in 2019 in the United States by Robin Hutton to honor the work of American animals in war and peace.
The first recipients received their awards on November 14, 2019 either posthumously or in person at a ceremony attended by dignitaries on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
The horse, Sergeant Reckless, served with the US Marines in numerous combat actions during the Korean War, carrying supplies and ammunition, and was also used to evacuate wounded.
Other posthumous medals were awarded to Chips, a pet husky mix who served in World War II; Stormy, a German shepherd who helped capture enemy soldiers during the Vietnam war; Lucca, an IED detecting dog, protected thousands of human lives as part of her assignments.
On her last mission in 2012, when she was on patrol in Afghanistan, she sniffed out a 30-pound (13.6-kilogram) IED and was continuing her search when she lost one of her legs when another IED detonated underneath her.
At the 2019 ceremony a campaign was initiated to create an International War Animals Museum that will recognize animal heroism in war and peace.
Lynda Blanchard (born July 4, 1959) is an American businesswoman who has served as the United States Ambassador to Slovenia since 2019.
Rotary atomizers use a high speed rotating disk, cup or wheel to discharge liquid at high speed to the perimeter, forming a hollow cone spray.
Many industries use processes like evaporative cooling, meteorology, printing, medical applications, spray combustion, coating, and drying, which need to convert a large mass of liquid into a dispersion of smaller droplets of a size range of microns.
Generally, it is done by producing a high speed between the phase of gases and the submerged liquid to be atomized.
The liquid can also be atomized by using a reverse process, instead of accelerating the liquid, gas can be accelerated to achieve a relatively higher speed than the liquid.
Still, for special applications, alternative atomizer types are there such as the 'electrostatic' atomizer in which electrical pressure is used to drive the atomization, and the 'ultrasonic' atomizing device in which the liquid is passed through a transducer vibrating at ultrasonic frequencies to generate shorter wavelengths which convert the fluid into smaller droplets.
Rotary atomizers work on the principle of centrifugal energy; this energy is used to produce a high relative speed between the fluid and air which is essential for atomization.
The liquid first flows radially outwards in the disc and is then released from the disc's outer limits at a relatively very high speed.
At a comparatively high flow rate, ligaments are generated along the disc's outer limits which later on break into smaller droplets.
When the flow rate is further increased, the ligaments become unable to fit in with the liquid flow, and hence a fine sheet of liquid is produced which expands past the disc's rim.
Even small-sized atomizer of 10 cm diameter revolving at 30,000 rpm can impart an acceleration of 490, 000 m/s (which is fifty thousand times of gravity) on the liquid fuel.
Size of droplet formed by atomizer depends on various properties of the fluid (both liquid and gaseous fluid) such as density, viscosity and surface tension between fluids.
The rotary atomizer in which liquid is revolving along with it at the rate of ω and has radial channels at nominal radius R=(R+R)/2 in the edge from which high-speed liquid interacts with gas to form droplets.
Considering the nominal radius of the channel and thus of mass of liquid inside channel equal to R, the liquid inside channel will experience the centrifugal acceleration of Rω, which causes the liquid to form a thin layer of thickness t on both walls of the channel.
It is the ratio of the force applied by the gas on the liquid layer to the surface tension force acting on liquid.
For practical fuel atomizer, Ohnesorge number is limited to Oh«1 and the size of the droplet are not much affected by Ohnesorge number.
For small values of We, surface tension is dominant, and this force pulls the liquid towards the wall of the channel, making a single column that eventually breaks after meeting air resulting in comparatively larger droplets.
Whereas, for the supercritical breakup of liquid (more significant values of We), force applied by gas is dominant for breaking of liquid which results in fine small size of droplets.
The , signed as Route K3, is one of the tolled routes of the Shuto Expressway system serving the Greater Tokyo Area and is one of six of the routes in the system serving Kanagawa Prefecture.
The route is a long radial highway running west from the Bayshore Route in Naka-ku, Yokohama near Haneda International Airport in Tokyo to the Yokohama Yokosuka Road and the Yokohama Shindō in Hodogaya-ku, Yokohama.
Alongside the Yokohama Yokosuka Road, it connects central Yokohama to the Tōmei Expressway and the Bayshore Route which, in turn, connect to the rest of the Greater Tokyo Area and points beyond.
In this ward Route K3 meets its western terminus at Kariba Junction where it merges into the Yokohama Yokosuka Road and the Yokohama Shindō.
The speed limit along almost the first of the Kariba Route from the Bayshore Route to Hanaoki is set at 50 km/h.
The remainder of the route between Hananoki and the route's western terminus at Kariba Junction has a speed limit that is increased to 60 km/h.
The first section of the Kariba Route was opened to traffic on 2 February 1984 between the interchanges at Shin-yamashita and Yokohama-kōen.
The expressway was extended direction to its eastern terminus at Honmoku Junction where it meets the Bayshore Route on 27 September 1987 upon the completion of the Yokohama Bay Bridge along the Bayhore Route.
Laws were introduced to provide equality for black Cubans and greater rights for women, and there were attempts to improve communications, medical facilities, health, housing, and education.
By the end of the 1960s, all Cuban children were receiving some education (compared with less than half before 1959), unemployment and corruption were reduced, and great improvements were made in hygiene and sanitation.
His many reforms (healthcare, education, and equality) gave opportunities to those Afro-Cubans who lived in poverty because of the racial discrimination in Cuba.
The Cuban Revolution () was a guerrilla campaign by Fidel Castro's revolutionary 26th of July Movement and others against the dictatorship of Cuban President Fulgencio Batista.
The revolution started in July 1953, and continued to varying degrees until the rebels finally ousted Batista on 31 December 1958, creating a new revolutionary government.
On 15 April 1959, Castro began an 11-day visit to the United States, at the invitation of the American Society of Newspaper Editors.
Hundreds of Batista-era agents, policemen and soldiers were put on public trial, accused of human rights abuses, war crimes, murder, and torture.
About 200 of the accused people were convicted of political crimes by revolutionary tribunals and then executed by firing squad; others received long sentences of imprisonment.
A notable example of revolutionary justice occurred after the capture of Santiago, where Raúl Castro directed the execution of more than seventy Batista POWs.
This was part of a large-scale attempt by Fidel Castro to cleanse the security forces of Batista loyalists and potential non-Communist opponents (including high-ranking rebels such as Pedro Luis Díaz Lanz and Huber Matos) of the new revolutionary government.
Though many were killed or imprisoned, others were dismissed from the army and police without prosecution, and some high-ranking officials of the Batista administration were exiled as military attachés.
In a later televised discussion Castro claimed his plans were mostly to improve economic conditions for black Cubans and that he is not encouraging total social integration.
Revolutionary leaders would also decry to the white supremacist terrorism of the U.S. South in an attempt to gain a moral high ground and defame Cuban exiles living in the United States.
Private schools that once had majority white student bodies were now nationalized and faced an influx of new black and mulatto students.
Some white Cubans were fearful of integration, while some black Cubans were fearful of the closing of black social clubs and its affects on Afro-Cuban cultural life.
While there he openly spoke of plans to nationalize Cuban lands and at the United Nations he declared Cuba was neutral in the Cold War.
According to geographer and Cuban Comandante Antonio Núñez Jiménez, 75% of Cuba's best arable land was owned by foreign individuals or foreign (mostly American) companies at the time of the revolution.
Comandante Sori Marin, who was nominally in charge of land reform, objected and fled, but was eventually executed when he returned to Cuba with arms and explosives, intending to overthrow the Castro government.
The United States was already suspicious of Fidel Castro after he enacted the Agrarian Reform Law banning foreigners from owning land and his appointment of communist Nuñez Jimenez as head of the reform program.
U.S. President Eisenhower refused any aggressive action against Cuba knowing it would push Cuba towards an alliance with the Soviet Union in the Cold War.
The U.S. then cut all sugar trade with Cuba, later Castro would forge a sugar trade deal with the Soviet Union.
The ship carried weapons purchased from Belgium, and the cause of the explosion was never determined, but Castro publicly insinuated that the U.S. government was guilty of sabotage.
Shortly after taking power, Castro also founded a revolutionary militia to expand his power base among the former rebels and the supportive population.
By the end of 1960, the revolutionary government had nationalized more than $25 billion worth of private property owned by Cubans.
Hundreds of members of the church, including a bishop, were permanently expelled from the nation, as the new Cuban government declared itself officially atheist.
In July 1961, the Integrated Revolutionary Organizations (IRO) was formed by the merger of Fidel Castro's 26th of July Movement, the People's Socialist Party led by Blas Roca, and the Revolutionary Directorate of 13 March led by Faure Chomón.
On 26 March 1962, the IRO became the United Party of the Cuban Socialist Revolution (PURSC) which, in turn, became the modern Communist Party of Cuba on 3 October 1965, with Castro as First Secretary.
Castro remained the ruler of Cuba, first as Prime Minister and, from 1976, as President, until his retirement in February 20, 2008.
Operating out of the Escambray Mountains, these counterrevolutionary rebels, also known as Alzados, made a number of unsuccessful attempts to overthrow the Cuban government, including the abortive, United States-backed Bay of Pigs Invasion of 1961.
Castro's fears of another invasion and his new Soviet allies influenced his decision to put nuclear missiles in Cuba, triggering the Cuban Missile Crisis.
In the aftermath of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, the United States promised not to invade Cuba in the future; in compliance with this agreement, the U.S. withdrew all support from the Alzados, effectively crippling the resource-starved resistance.
The counterrevolutionary conflict, known abroad as the Escambray Rebellion, lasted until about 1965, and has since been branded the War Against the Bandits by the Cuban government.
Between 1959 and 1980, an estimated 500,000 Cubans left the island for the United States, for both political and economic reasons; 125,000 left in 1980 alone, when the Cuban government briefly permitted any Cubans who wished to leave to do so.
As a voting bloc, Cuban Americans have traditionally been strongly opposed to ending the U.S. embargo of Cuba, but in recent years there has been growing support for diplomatic engagement among the younger generations.
After he considered to have done everything in his power toward equality, he passed a legislation that counter-attacked his past anti-discrimination legislation.
By that point black social clubs had been banned, afro hairstyles made illegal, and practitioners of Afro-Cuban religions were banned from joining the Communist Party of Cuba.
George Ellison Weeks (December 16, 1918 – March 1980) was an American football defensive end who played for one season in the National Football League (NFL).
After playing college football for Alabama, he was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 14th round of the 1943 NFL Draft.
Jo Frost: Extreme Parental Guidance is a British reality television programme that aired on Channel 4 from 9 February 2010 to 5 August 2012.
The regiment was raised on 12 September 1753 as Corps of Tuscan Dragoons () by Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor, who had inherited the Grand Duchy of Tuscany in 1737.
When the Kingdom of Sardinia annexed United Provinces of Central Italy and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies after the Second Italian War of Independence the Tuscan Dragoon Regiment became the only regiment from all annexed states to be integrated in the Italian Army.
The regiment served in the Third Italian War of Independence during which it earned a Bronze Medal of Military Valour in the Battle of Ponte di Versa on 26 July 1866.
During World War I the regiment served on the Italian front, earning its second Bronze Medal of Military Valour for its conduct during the decisive Battle of Vittorio Veneto in 1918.
In 1956 the Lancieri di Firenze were expanded to squadrons group, but already on 31 December 1958 division and squadrons group were disbanded.
For its conduct and work after the 1976 Friuli earthquake the squadrons group was awarded a Bronze Medal of Army Valour, which was affixed to the battalion's war flag and added to the battalion's coat of arms.
After the end of the Cold War the Italian Army began to draw down its forces and the Vittorio Veneto was one of the first brigades to disband.
Road Prisons (RU: étape) were a type of a prison in Russia, used for temporarily housing inmates on their way to Siberia, Sakhalin Island, or other places of far-off detention.
This temporary imprisonment system stretched from the 18th century, at the birth of the Russian Empire, to more modern times, with the Soviet Union, and for some, arguably to the modern era.
This author made numerous other complaints that sound similar to those of other Russian prison critics: rotten building materials, absence of any heat, lack of any bedding, absolute filth, and ability for any prisoner to break out by merely twisting the tin bars holding them between their prison and absolute desperation in the wilderness.
When prisoners could not be grouped together fast enough, they were left to rot in the étapes until enough prisoners could be gathered, and then they would be forced to march anywhere between 2,000 and 4,700 miles.
The original Swiss drive used a single Buchli gear on one side to drive each axle, the French locomotives used a double-sided drive with the Buchli gear duplicated for each end of the axle, which was considered to reduce wear.
Like most other 1,500 V DC locomotives, they used four motors, with speed control by series-parallel switching and fine control by s. Improvements to the design of the motors, particularly the s, allowed finer steps of resistance to be used, so that the jerk when switching steps was only a fifth of what it had been previously.
Like other French locomotives of this era, they were not equipped with a driver's seat at first, merely a simple saddle.
This was replaced by a standing seat when the VACMA 'dead man's pedal' was introduced in 1963, then by a jump seat in 1973..
Like the original 2′Do2′ design, this was inspired by Swiss achievements in high-speed chassis design, in this case with the and then the , which established bogie locomotives as being capable of running at express speeds.
Elder Sister Lake is the larger of the two lakes with a surface area of 530 m. It has a shape of rectangular and it consists of two wooden pavilions built from Taxodium distichum.
The Younger Sister Lake is the smaller of two with a surface area of 66 m. Both lakes are separated by around 50 meters in distance.
During that time, Winniett was involved in the Battle of Lake Borgne, in Louisiana in December 1814 and the Battle of New Orleans on 8 January 1815.
On 24 October 1845 Winniett became lieutenant governor of the Gold Coast (Ghana), under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Sierra Leone.
In 1848 he led the West India Regiments and others to stop the murdering of Africans and Europeans by deposing Kaku Aka, the king of Amanahia [Apollonia] (also known as Kwaku Akka).
With Thomas Birch Freeman as his secretary, that same year, he went to the Kingdom of Ashanti to persuade Ghezo, King of the Dahomey, in present-day Benin (also known as King Kwaku Dua; Gizu the King of Dahomi) to stop the slave trade and abolish human sacrifice.
He died 4 December 1850 at Jamestown/Usshertown, Accra and was interred in the cemetery at Fort Christiansborg (Ebenezer Presbyterian Church, Osu).
Winniett was the grandchild of Joseph Winniett (d. 1789) and the son of William Winniett (d.1824), both of Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia.
Chased Into Love is a lost 1917 silent film comedy short directed by and starring Charles Parrot (alias Charley Chase) along with Hank Mann and Carmen Phillips.
Cody Speller (born May 10, 1994) is a professional Canadian football offensive lineman for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League.
Speller went undrafted but was picked up by the Bombers after playing in the 2016 CIS East-West Bowl, he played CIS football for the McMaster Marauders.
He played as a backup for the Bombers O-line in 2018, but started competing for a starting position in the interior line as a guard in 2019.
In 2017, the organization merged with Trans Assistance Project in order to address a component of the trans narrative that is often missing, that of socioeconomic justice.
The merger became the organization's microgrants program, which gifts small grants to trans people who are in need of funds to cover the fees associated with legal name changes, drivers' license changes, and passport changes.
The organization also oversees a program to support incarcerated trans people; the program offers services in relation to prisoner and post-release support.
As of 2019, the organization had set in motion a Spanish language program, headed by Álvaro Gamio Cuervo, in order to serve Spanish-speakers calling the hotline.
After playing one season with FC Aix-les-Bains, Brunat began playing for FC Grenoble in 1986, where he lasted for seven years.
In the episode, Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek) and his therapist Krista Gordon (Gloria Reuben) are held hostage by Fernando Vera (Elliot Villar), who attempts to coerce Elliot into working alongside him by understanding Mr.
He is removed from the boot of a car and then tied to a chair in a room adjacent to Krista, who is also being held hostage.
On day 88 however, his inscrutable feelings of emptiness are vindicated by a shaman who tells him he must return home.
Realizing his desire to return to New York to reconcile with Elliot, he states his plan to take over New York with Elliot as his business partner.
Elliot's version of events, that he swung a bat at his father and then jumped out of a window in a state of mania, is called into question after Krista points out Elliot's reliance on Darlene's memories and not his own.
The episode is presented in a five-act structure which critics compared to resembling the structure of a play, emphasized by its reliance on dramatic audio cues and usage of two adjacent sets.
Regina Orozco (born 18 February 1964; Mexico City, Mexico) is a Mexican actress and singer, best known for her roles in Mexican films.
In March 2013, she won the Medal of Merit in Artistic Interpretation, awarded by the Legislative Assembly of the Federal District by the VI Legislature.
It had a tonnage of 23,732 and was a long and wide and had a maximum speed of with its twin screws.
The Building at 399 West Fullerton Parkway is a historic apartment building at 399 West Fullerton Parkway in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois.
Cooperative apartments, in which residents were part owners of the building and controlled its management and who could buy units, became popular with Chicago's upper class in the 1920s due in part to successful marketing by developers.
The apartments at 399 West Fullerton offered an attractive location with lakeside views and modern amenities, including parking space and chauffeur service for the increasingly popular automobile.
Architects McNally and Quinn designed the French Renaissance Revival building; their design includes a brick exterior with classically ornamented stone on the first three stories, decorative balustrades and window surrounds on the upper floors, and two small, steep hip roofs atop the projected sections of the facade.
Elisabeth Condon is a contemporary American painter who combines natural imagery, the built environment, and abstraction in her free-flowing synthetic landscapes.
The landscapes depicted are both themselves altered by human interaction, and the ensuing paintings feel like idiosyncratic records of Condon's mind and her imaginings of the space.
It is evident both in the range and unlikeliness of the source material she uses, and in her final compositions, which feel like odd remixes of painting styles that combine into something wholly new.
Condon draws inspiration from a wide variety of source material, from the 1970s LA glam rock scene to children's picture books to news photographs from the Iraq war.
And she borrows elements from art movements from disparate times and places, from ancient China to the French Informel to Color Field painting.
This mix of styles and influences is distinctly postmodern and expressive of the current technological environment, where input of ideas, news, and images from around the world is fast-paced and unceasing.
Through her travels and studies, Condon has become deeply influenced by ancient Chinese painting and philosophy, as well as the experience of living in modern Asian cities.
In 2004, on a residency in Taiwan, she began to practice Chinese painting techniques, which emphasize variety in texture and inflection, as well as improvisation.
She also borrows a complex sense of space and perspective, where different points of view are forged into one multi-layer and time-compressed experience.
In discussion of her own work, she often mentions the concept of emptiness and fullness, which she learned from sumi-e painting.
Whereas the western painting tradition values contrast and opposition, Condon seeks a delicate balance between fullness and emptiness in her compositions.
She is also inspired by a splashed-ink method that can be found in some painting and pottery of the Later Tang Dynasty.
Condon often begins a composition with pouring acrylic or oil paint, so that the kinetic quality of the material creates unexpected forms and effects.
Since she does not plan out compositions beforehand, forms seems emerge organically out of the accident of the pour and materiality of paint.
The energy in her paintings connects back to her fascination with Chinese art and the belief that a painting must have qi, or a vital life force.
Her landscapes feature references to places as far away as Taiwan, Beijing, and Australia, as well as her native California and homes in Florida and Manhattan.
In the wake of her 2014 residency in Shanghai, Condon has been embracing imagery that is considered feminine or kitsch such as flowers and birds.
She now uses vintage wallpaper patterns as a visual element in her work, and recounts asking her mother for leftover wallpaper and fabric samples to use in her studio.
The plum blossom in particular is not only of central importance to Chinese art, it also appeared on the wallpaper of her childhood bedroom.
With their domestic references, sumptuous colors, floral imagery, and use of pretty materials like glitter, her paintings engage with the world's disdain for a certain gender, class, and aesthetic taste.
Like other Pattern and Decoration Artists, Condon reclaims her personal experience and love of beauty, asserting the importance and potential for intellectual rigor in such work.
It is particularly powerful to use such imagery in large-scale, abstract work, a painting tradition that is dominated by men, expressing the feminist emphasis on personal experience, rather than a pure vision of an overarching narrative that is the project of abstract expressionism.
She completed her BFA in Painting at Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design in 1986, as well as studying at UCSD for 1 year and UCLA for 2 years.
She completed her MFA in Painting at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1990 before moving to Brooklyn in 1992.
She curates exhibitions about topics that are relevant to her own practice, including paint pouring and contemporary reinterpretations of classical Asian painting.

It is situated northwest of Squamish, east of Ossa Mountain, and north-northwest of Mount Tantalus, which is its nearest higher peak and the highest peak in the Tantalus Range.
Unnamed glaciers surround the peak and precipitation runoff from the peak drains into tributaries of the Squamish River and Clowhom River.
The mountain names in the Tantalus Range have a Greek mythology theme, and Pelion Mountain was named for the legendary Pelion mountain in Thessaly, upon which the Aloadaes are said to have attempted to pile Mount Pelion on top of Mount Ossa in their attempt to scale Olympus, home of the Greek gods.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Pelion Mountain is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.

Gorby left Kishinev at age 17 to study music in Iași, Romania, where she married Joseph Goldstein, a publisher who spoke both Romanian and Yiddish.
Her main language was Russian, her second language Yiddish, and she also spoke French, Romanian, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and English well.
She moved to Rome and then to Paris in the 1920s, but returend to Iași every summer until the outbreak of World War II to visit her husband.
For a time in the 1930s she performed with her husband's last name (Sarah Goldstein) before switching to the stage name Sarah Gorby.
After settling in Paris she recorded quite a lot under the label Eledisc, which was then releasing many Yiddish language singers.
She also continued to tour regularly and spent months of the year away from France in places such as Mexico, South America, South Africa, and Israel.
A noteworthy feature of her music was that she continued to sing in her native Bessarabian Yiddish dialect for much of her career.
The Leon Thomas Album is the second album by American jazz vocalist and percussionist Leon Thomas recorded in 1970 and released by the Flying Dutchman label.
Far from the sparely orchestrated ensembles of the previous works, Thomas loaded this set with jazz luminaries ... Side one is the up-tempo jazz ride, as Thomas and company rip through a host of his own tunes ...
He is as powerful a jazz/blues singer as Joe Williams or Joe Turner, both of whom he occasionally resembles, as inventive a scatter as Ella Fitzgerald ...
Paul B. Zuber (December 20, 1926 - March 6, 1987) was a civil rights attorney who fought against inferior schools for African Americans in New York City's Harlem neighborhood in 1958 and against segregated schools in New York State, New Jersey, and Chicago during the 1960s.
He was active in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and served as Housing Chairman of its New York State Conference but resigned in a dispute after alleging he was prevented from publicly criticizing policies at the organization.
Sum Hun (aka Xinhin, as well as Heartaches) is a Cantonese-language drama film produced by an American production company in 1936 for a Chinese audience.
In 1936, a young San Francisco woman named Esther Eng (who would later become a well-known director) joined forces with a young actor Bruce Wong to try and tap into the Chinese movie-going market.
Together, they managed to raise the money they'd need to get the film made, and then they set to work studying the taste of Chinese audiences.

As homeownership became more affordable in early twentieth century Chicago, the bungalow became popular for its easily and cheaply replicated design, and tens of thousands of the homes were built throughout the city.
West Ridge, a lightly developed area on Chicago's northern border, was typical of the neighborhoods that were dominated by new bungalows.
While a variety of developers and architects built the district's bungalows in distinctive fashions, the homes' similar designs and consistent setbacks from the street give the district a cohesive appearance.

The Rhinecanthus lunula, commonly known as the Halfmoon picassofish, is a Balistid triggerfish species first described by John E. Randall and Roger C. Steene in 1983.
It usually has 26 soft dorsal rays (though sometimes only 25 are observed), between 22 and 24 anal soft rays, and 14 pectoral rays.
For example, the caudal fin of a juvenile is rounded in a juvenile before becoming slightly double emarginate as it develops into an adult.
Juveniles are also missing some of coloration that stands out in adults: there is no blackish area on the ventral side, black bars below the eyes are not well-developed, and the black crescent near the caudal peduncle (which gives the species its name) is also missing.
The holotype of the species was collected by John E. Randall in a barrier reef near the Society Islands of Tahiti, and juvenile specimens were collected near Queensland, Australia.
Though the maximum depth of their habitat is unknown, triggerfishes of the Balistidae family are known to exist up to 50 meters deep.
Distribution of a given Balistid species among an ecosystem may also be influenced by their diet and the distribution of food sources.

The Original Nashville Students, also referred to as the Original Tennessee Jubilee and Plantation Singers, the Nashville Students, and H. B. Thearle's Nashville Students, were an ensemble of eight or nine African-American jubilee singers.
Additionally, jubilation elicits connections with emancipation and liberation, drawing on emotions of nationalist pride from both African American and white audiences.
Adopting this title allowed the singers to brand themselves as those who were formerly enslaved, but who had triumphantly risen out of their oppression.
This appreciation for music and black folk culture seems to have made an impression on his son: as a lyceum agent, one of the first groups he hired was an ensemble of jubilee singers.
That appreciation for black folk culture seems to have been passed down to his son, as one of the first groups he hired as a lyceum agent was an ensemble of jubilee singers.
The first featured selections of traditional spirituals among other songs, the second featured soloists and a quartet, followed by a sketch in full plantation costume.
Beginning as early as 1884, the Original Nashville Singers performed under the agency of the prestigious Redpath Lyceum Bureau, with Thearle remaining as their proprietor.
But they DO claim to sing the original Jubilee and Plantation Melodies, as sung by the children of bondage in their own peculiar manner in religious and social meetings and on the plantation.
While many commercial spirituals were exploitative of the student jubilee tradition for comic potential, Lucas's spirituals generally seem to pay homage to the jubilee tradition.
Lucas's songs, while not original to the era of slavery, were certainly written in a traditional style, with frequent nods to traditional spirituals.
While for the most part performing traditional music, the inclusion of a plantation sketch draws a connection to exploitative minstrel shows, which contradicts the true-to-tradition nature of the ensemble in both name (their allusion to the Fisk Jubilee Singers) and repertoire choice.
The Original Nashville Students came about near the end of a short period of public enthusiasm for jubilee music - the industry was largely worn out by 1890.
As Abbott and Seroff point out, in fall 1892, bass singer Joseph Hagerman struck out on his own, forming a new troupe with baritone Ollie C. Hall.
He became a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and President of the Language Sciences section of the national committee of the French National Centre for Scientific Research.

Purnima Niraj Singh (born 21 November 1985) is a Member of the Jharkhand Legislative Assembly from the Jharia constituency in Dhanbad district.
Purnima Singh went on to Later she picked up a Diploma in German language from Central Institute of English and foreign languages.
Though her love for traveling and exploring new places is boundless it is only superseded by her passion for reading and writing.
Purnima Niraj Singh began her professional career as a teacher, curriculum designer, program facilitator and coordinator at City International School and Global Classrooms Private Limited.
She contested the 2019 Jharkhand State Assembly Polls from Jharia as an Indian National Congress candidate against Ragini Singh, the wife of Sanjeev Singh, her brother -in-law who is now jailed for the murder of her late husband Niraj Singh.
Winning the elections by a margin of nearly thirteen thousand votes she created history by winning the Jharia seat for INC for the first time in 52 years.
Although INC won a total of 16 seats in the 2019 Jharkhand Assembly polls, marking its best electoral performance since the formation for the state, it failed to win any other seat in the rest of Dhanbad district, making Purnima Niraj Singh's victory all the more noticeable.
On 7th December 2012, she married Niraj Singh, Dhanbad's former Deputy Mayor, thus also becoming a daughter-in-law of Bachcha Singh a former MLA and minister in Jharkhand State Government.
Though her marriage into a political family allowed her to have front row seats to Dhanbad district's and the state's politics, it was after Niraj Singh, her husband was murdered in a grisly shootout that she was forced to step into the formal political arena.
Induced cell cycle arrest is the use of a chemicals or genetic manipulation to artificially halt progression through the cell cycle.
Frog egg cell extracts have been used extensively in cell cycle research because they are relatively large, reaching a diameter of 1mm, and so contain large amounts of protein, making protein levels more easily measurable.
In some experiments, a researcher may want to control and synchronize the time when a group of cells progress to the next phase of the cell cycle.
The cells can be induced to arrest as they arrive (at different time points) at a certain phase, so that when the arrest is lifted (for instance, rescuing cell cycle progression by introducing another chemical) all the cells resume cell cycle progression at the same time.
In addition to this method acting as a scientific control for when the cells resume the cell cycle, this can be used to investigate necessity and sufficiency.
Another reason synchrony is important is the control for amount of DNA content, which varies at different parts of the cell cycle based on whether DNA replication has occurred since the last round of completed mitosis and cytokinesis.
Furthermore, synchronization of large numbers of cells into the same phase allows for the collection of large enough groups of cells in the same cycle for the use in other assays, such as western blot and RNA sequencing.
Given that some of the mechanisms below of inducing cell cycle arrest involve damaging the DNA, this allows investigation into how the cell responds to damage of its genetic material.
Genetic engineering of cells with specific gene knockouts can also result in cells that arrest at different phases of the cell cycle.
While in G the cell synthesizes messenger RNA (mRNA) and proteins in preparation for subsequent steps of interphase leading to mitosis.
In human somatic cells, the cell cycle lasts about 18 hours, and the G phase makes up about / of that time.
On the other hand, in frog, sea urchin, and fruit fly embryos, the G phase is extremely brief and instead is a slight gap between cytokinesis and S phase.
It results in a single layer of arrested cells of arrested cells, and is a process that is notably missing in cancer cells.
This natural process can be mimicked in a lab through the overexpression of p27, which results in induced cell cycle arrest in G phase.
Mimosine is a plant amino acid that has been shown to reversibly inhibit progression beyond G phase in some human cells, including lymphoblastoid cells.
The use of serum deprivation - partially or completely removing the serum and its nutrients - has been shown to arrest and synchronize cell cycle progression in G phase, for example in neonatal mammalian astrocytes and human foreskin fibroblasts.
S phase follows G phase via the G/S transition and precedes G phase in interphase and is the part of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated.
Since accurate duplication of the genome is critical to successful cell division, the processes that occur during S-phase are tightly regulated and widely conserved.
This was demonstrated in cancer cell lines and downregulates expression of B-cell lymphoma-extra large ([[Bcl-xL|Bcl-XL]]), an anti-apoptotic protein that prevents the release of mitochondrial contents like [[cytochrome c]].
Destruction of a cell's [[endogenous]] cyclin messenger RNA can arrest frog egg extracts in [[interphase]] and prevent them from entering mitosis.
One method of this destruction is through the use of [[Antisense oligonucleotide|antisense oligonucleotides]], pieces of RNA that bind to the cyclin mRNA and prevent the mRNA from being translated into cyclin protein.
This can actually be used to destroy phase-specific cyclins beyond just G - for instance, destruction of [[cyclin D1]] mRNA by antisense oligonucleotides prevents progression from G phase to S phase.
It is composed of four phases - [[prophase]], [[metaphase]], [[anaphase]], and [[telophase]] - and involves the condensation of the [[Chromosome|chromosomes]] in the [[Cell nucleus|nucleus]], the dissolution of the [[nuclear envelope]], and the separation of [[sister chromatids]] by [[spindle fibers]].
After successful mitosis, the cell physically splits into two identical [[daughter cells]] in a process called [[cytokinesis]], and this concludes a full round of the cell cycle.
[[Hydroxyurea]] (HU) is a [[Small-molecule drug|small molecule drug]] that inhibits the enzyme [[ribonucleotide reductase]] (RNR), preventing the catalysis of converting [[Deoxyribonucleotide|deoxyribonucleotides]] (DNTs) to [[Ribonucleotide|ribonucleotides]].
From microscopy it has been determined they do enter mitosis but they cannot form the spindles necessary for metaphase because the microtubules cannot polymerize.
It also causes M phase arrest, as the spindle that is supposed to pull apart sister chromatids is unable to disassemble.
It acts through a specific binding site on the microtubule polymer, and as such does not require GTP or other cofactors to induce tubulin polymerization.
[[Flow cytometry]] is a technique of measuring physical and chemical characteristics of a population of cells using lasers and [[fluorophore]] dyes covalently linked to protein markers.
[[Staining]] with DNA dyes [[propidium iodide]] or [[4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole|4',6'-diamidino-2-phenylindole]] (DAPI) allows delineation or sorting of cells between G S, or G/M phases.
For example, a peak of [[cyclin E]] protein would indicate the [[G1/S transition|G/S transition]], a [[cyclin A]] peak would indicate late G phase, and a [[cyclin B]] peak would indicate mitosis.
FUCCI is a system that takes advantage of cell cycle phase-specific expression of proteins and their [[Protein degradation|degradation]] by the [[Ubiquitin proteasome pathway|ubiquitin-proteasome pathway]].
Two [[fluorescent probes]] - [[Cdt1]] and [[Geminin]] conjugated to fluorescent proteins - allow for real-time visualization of the cell cycle phase a cell is in.
Thilo Wilke (born 20 June 1991) is a professional German football player who is currently playing as a midfielder and forward for the Hamilton Wanderers AFC (New Zealand) in the ISPS Handa Premiership.
Wilke began playing football at age 5, and in his youth played for 1.FC Schweinfurt 05 and Wuerzburger FV, both of which were former second league clubs.
Wilke’s career in Germany culminated in 43 goals and 27 assists throughout 152 games and he was selected for a regional team of the German Football Association (DFB).
Wilke continued his career internationally when he signed for the Division II NCAA soccer team at Shaw University in the United States.

According to UNHCR, also known as The UN Refugee Agency, there are around 10,585 refugees dwelling in Indonesia that are officially registered by the organization as of July 2019.
When the refugees first arrive in Indonesia they seek asylum status, and then await the time-consuming process to reach refugee status through UNHCR.When they are undergoing this process they are not entitled to social security, and cannot either find jobs or start their own business.

Recently, countries like USA and Australia have changed their policies, which result in these refugees being stranded in Indonesia, waiting for an indefinite resettlement.

Application Layer Transport Security (ALTS) is a Google developed authentication and encryption system used for securing Remote procedure call (RPC) within Google machines.
At that time the dominant Application layer protocols were SSL and TLS 1.1 (TLS 1.2 was only published as an RFC in 2008), those supported many legacy algorithms and had poor security standards.
As Google was in full control over the machines that needed secure transport of RPCs, deployment of systems was relatively easy, and so Google developers could afford designing their own system from scratch.
in TLS, the server side is committed to its own domain name (and corresponding naming scheme), while Google needed the same identity (i.e.
The ALTS handshake protocol is based on authenticated Diffie-Hellman key exchange scheme, enjoying both perfect forward secrecy (access to current keys does not compromise future security) and session resumption (noticeable speedups in the protocol after the first session between the parties).
The certificate chains to a trusted signing service verification key, with the leaf being an Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman key, that is eventually used for key exchange.
Instead of using an inherent PFS algorithm, ALTS achieves PFS by frequently rotating the certificates, which have a short lifespan (6, 20, or 48 hours; see ).
Moreover, if PFS is enabled, it is also enabled for session resumption, by deriving the encryption keys from the resumption ticket using a pseudorandom function.

Software bots are typically used to execute tasks, suggest actions, engage in dialogue, and promote social and cultural aspects of a software project.
Software bots have been adopted by several communities related to software development, such as open-source communities on GitHub and Stack Overflow.
GitHub bots have been used to assign reviewers, ask contributors to sign the Contributor License Agreement, report continuous integration failures, review code and pull requests, welcome newcomers, run automated tests, merge pull requests, fix vulnerabilities, etc.
In Wikipedia, Wikipedia bots automate a variety of tasks, such as creating stub articles, consistently updating the format of multiple articles, and so on.
It is composed of 3 main facets: (i) properties of the environment that the bot was created in; (ii) intrinsic properties of the bot itself; and (iii) the bot's interactions within its environment.
A study from the University of Antwerp has compared how developers active on Stack Overflow perceive answers generated by software bots.
They find that developers perceive the quality of software bot-generated answers to be significantly worse if the identity of the software bot is made apparent.
In practice, when software bots are used on platforms like GitHub or Wikipedia, their username makes it clear that they are bots, e.g., DependaBot, RenovateBot, , .
For instance, the Github terms of service does not allow `bot` but accepts `machine account`, where a `machine account` has two properties: 1) a human takes full responsibility of the bot's actions 2) it cannot create other accounts.

was a Swedish prince, grandson of Ragnar Lodbrok, who allegedly flourished in the early Viking Age and had a certain dynastic importance.
This text says that the renowned Viking ruler Ragnar Lodbrok, after his demise, was succeeded by his various sons who ruled over Sweden, Denmark, the eastern lands (Austrríki) and England.
This information is historically problematic since Björn is otherwise known to have performed Viking raids in West Francia in the 850s and allegedly died in Frisia in the early 860s.
When the main ruler Erik died, Refil was apparently dead already, since the next ruler was Refil's son Erik Refilsson who is praised as a great warrior and all-mighty king.

The Asklepieion of Athens was the sanctuary built in honour of the gods Asclepius and Hygieia, located west of the Theatre of Dionysos and east of the Pelargikon wall on the southern escarpment of the Acropolis hill.
It was founded in the year 419/18 BCE during the Peloponnesian War, perhaps as a direct result of the plague, by Telemachos Acharneas.
His foundation is inscribed in the Telemachos Monument, a double-sided, marble column which is topped by reliefs depicting the arrival of the god in Athens from Epidaurus and his reception by Telemachos.
The sanctuary complex consisted of the temple and the altar of the god as well as two galleries, the Doric Arcade which served as a katagogion for overnight patients in the Asklepieion and their miraculous (through dreams) healing by the god, and the Ionic Stoa that served as a dining hall and lodging for the priests of Asclepius and their visitors.
The Doric Arcade was founded according to inscriptions in 300/299 BCE and was a two-storey building with 17 Doric columns on its facade.
This is framed by the sacred spring at its eastern end and a pit lined with masonry at its western end.
The circular well or pit, a deep hollow with polygonal masonry built into the cliff face, was accessed from the second floor of the Doric Arcade and dates to the last quarter of the 5th century.
F Robert proposed that it was a place devoted to the celebration of Heroes in the Asklepeion during ta Heroa, which witnessed sacrifices to the chthonic gods and heroes, as testified epigraphically.
The Ionian Arcade, west of the temple, is also dated to the last quarter of the 5th century.The sanctuary on its west side was enclosed by a propylon for the visitors to access from the ancient promenade to the Asklepieion site.
At the beginning of the 6th c. CE, when Christian worship succeeded the ancient, all the monuments of Asclepius were demolished and the material incorporated into the complex of a large, three-aisled Early Christian basilica.
In the Byzantine years (11th and 13th centuries) two smaller, single-aisled temples occupied the position of the basilica, while the latter of them functioned as the catholicon of a small monastery.
Since 2002, partial restorations of the west end of the ground floor of the Doric Stoa façade, the room of the Sacred Cave on the first floor of the Doric Stoa and the temple of Asclepius have been performed.

Scanning quantum dot microscopy (SQDM) is a scanning probe microscopy (SPM) that is used to image nanoscale electric potential distributions on surfaces.
The method quantifies surface potential variations via their influence on the potential of a quantum dot (QD) attached to the apex of the scanned probe.
Measuring electric potential distributions is also relevant for characterizing organic and inorganic semiconductor devices which feature electric dipole layers at the relevant interfaces.
The probe to surface distance in SQDM ranges from 2 nm to 10 nm and therefore allows imaging on non-planar surfaces or, e.g., of biomolecules with a distinct 3D structure.
In SQDM, the relation between the potential at the QD and the surface potential (the quantity of interest) is described by a boundary value problem of electrostatics.
Then, the potential formula_2 of a point-like QD at formula_3 can be expressed using the Green's function formalism as a sum over volume and surface integrals, where formula_4 denotes the volume enclosed by formula_1 and formula_6 is the surface normal.
By specifying formula_14 and thus defining the boundary conditions, these equations can be used to obtain the relation between formula_8 and the surface potential formula_17 for more specific measurement situations.
The combination of a conductive probe and a conductive surface, a situation characterized by Dirichlet boundary conditions, has been described in detail.
Conceptually, the relation between formula_18 and formula_19 links data in the imaging plane, obtained by reading out the QD potential, to data in the object surface - the surface potential.
If the sample surface is approximated as locally flat and the relation between formula_18 and formula_19 therefore translationally invariant, the recovery of the object surface information from the imaging plane information is a deconvolution with a point spread function defined by the boundary value problem.
In the specific case of a conductive boundary, the mutual screening of surface potentials by tip and surface lead to an exponential drop-off of the point spread function.
Two methods have been reported to obtain the imaging plane information, i.e., the variations in the QD potential formula_18 as the probe is scanned over the surface.
The influence of the laterally varying surface potentials on formula_8 is actively compensated by continuously adjusting the global sample potential via an external bias voltage formula_26 .
formula_24 is chosen such that it matches a discrete transition of the QD charge state and the corresponding change in probe-sample force is used in non-contact atomic force microscopy to verify a correct compensation.
In an alternative method, the vertical component of the electric field at the QD position is mapped by measuring the energy shift of a specific optical transition of the QD which occurs due to the Stark effect.
The object plane image formula_19 can be interpreted as a variation of the work function, the surface potential, or the surface dipole density.
Within the surface dipole density interpretation, surface dipoles of individual nanostructures can be obtained by integration over a sufficiently large surface area.
In the compensation technique, the influence of the global sample potential formula_26 on formula_8 depends on the shape of the sample surface in a way that is defined by the corresponding boundary value problem.
On a non-planar surface, changes in formula_8 can therefore not uniquely be assigned to either a change in surface potential or in surface topography formula_32 if only a single charge state transition is tracked.
For example a protrusion in the surface affects the QD potential since the gating by formula_26 works more efficiently if the QD is placed above the protrusion.
If two transitions are used in the compensation technique the contributions of surface topography formula_32 and potential formula_35 can be disentangled and both quantities can be obtained unambiguously.

Karl Theodor Haßloch (baptized 21 May 1769 – 23 August 1829) was a German stage actor and operatic tenor, bass and bariton, composer, Kapellmeister, Opera director, theater director and librettist.
Born in Amorbach, Haßloch worked from 1789 in Mannheim, where he replaced the actor Friedrich August Werdy, and married the singer Christiane Keilholz in 1793.
In 1809 he went to Darmstadt as an opera director, where he also took over the post of court kapellmeister in 1813.
In its 2nd year under head coach Jeff Jackson the team compiled a 30–9–4 record and reached the NCAA tournament for the sixth time.
Losing its top five scorers from 1990–91, the formerly high-scoring Lakers would need to find a sway to get over the postseason hump that had seem them bow out in the national quarterfinals two years in a row.
Stepping into the breach was freshman Brian Rolston, the 11th overall pick in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft and probably the most heralded prospect ever to appear in a Laker uniform.
In their first five games Lake Superior looked to be just as impressive as they had been over the past two seasons, winning each game by an average of five goals.
When the team took on defending national champion Northern Michigan in early November they earned a split in the home-and-home series.
While they did acquit themselves well, losing the road game was the start of a pattern that would continue throughout the entire season.
The next weekend, at perennial power Michigan State, Madeley demonstrated that he was going to have another strong season by limiting the Spartans to a single goal in each game but LSSU could only manage a split after being shut out in the first game.
While their defensive game was strong, None of their players were particularly strong on offense; no Laker finished the season in the top 40 in scoring and the best points per game for Lake State was Sandy Moger's 1.21 ppg, good for 88th in the country.
When eventual CCHA champion Michigan came to town in early December the Lakers earned a sweep in the series but did so with a 10–0 demolition of the Wolverines.
Lake Superior was able to balance out their adequate road swings with stifling defense at home; only twice did the Lakers give up more than three goals at the Norris Center but timely offense allowed them to win both games.
That poor home series also could not have come at a worse time; having lost both games at Michigan the week before Lake State was in a dogfight with their southern rivals for the top spot in the CCHA.
With all three teams separated by just 3 points, the conference would be determined by how the final month of the season played out.
While Lake Superior and Michigan swept their respective weekends in mid-February, Michigan State could only manage a single point against lowly Bowling Green.
The Lakers then earned a much-needed 3 points on the road against Western Michigan while the Wolverines all but ended the Spartans hopes with a sweep at the Joe Louis Arena.
With their next series against bottom-feeding Ohio State the Lakers had hopes that they could end their road woes but instead the team produced its worst defense efforts of the season, surrendering 15 goals in the two games and dropping five points behind the Wolverines, guaranteeing Michigan the CCHA championship.
MSU, meanwhile, had recovered after their debacle at 'The Joe' and crept up into a tie with Lake State for second place.
Not wanting to drop even further back, Lake Superior showed their mettle by taking both games against Western Michigan to finish one point ahead of the Spartans (who held the tie breaker) and lock up the second seed in the CCHA Tournament.
In their final home games of the year, Lake Superior easily defeated Illinois–Chicago in the conference quarterfinals, winning twice before heading to Detroit.
The semifinals saw them pitted against the Spartans but again, MSU failed in the Red Wings' building and the Lakers won the game 5–3.
Tournament MVP Darrin Madeley stole the show, holding the conference's top offensive team to a single goal en route to the Laker's championship.
While the CCHA crown guaranteed Lake Superior a spot in the NCAA Tournament, it was not enough to earn them a bye into the quarterfinals.
Lake Superior was given the third western seed, which would have allowed them to play at home in years past, but the NCAA Tournament format had been changed for 1992.
All games played by teams in the western regional were held at the Joe Louis Arena, a distinct advantage for CCHA teams.
Two nights later they took on Minnesota, the team that led the nation in wins, and again dominated the competition with an 8–3 victory.
Showing just how strong they were that year, Michigan, Michigan State and Lake Superior State all made the Frozen Four, the most the CCHA has ever produced.
The two squads battled to a 2–2 tie after two periods before Mark Astley scored the game winner midway through the third.
With only a surprising Wisconsin team standing in their way, the Lakers started the game well but soon found themselves down a goal.
Wisconsin added a power play marker before the end of the first and Lake Superior, who had had trouble scoring at times during the season, were hoping that the game wasn't already out of hand.
Rather than the game being remembered for performances by players, however, referee Tim McConaghy called an inordinate amount of penalties in the game.
Many in attendance had difficulty in understanding the calls and things went from bad to worse when the Badgers' captain Doug MacDonald was given a 10-minute misconduct for questioning the calls.
While the Lakers were hit for 10 penalties in the game, Wisconsin players headed to the box 15 times and Lake Superior managed to use the disproportionate advantages to even the game after 40 minutes.
Michael Smith scored early in the third to give the Lakers their first lead of the game but a power play goal by Jason Zent tied the game at 3-all.
Just after the fifteen-minute mark Brian Rolston scored to put Lake State up 4–3 and Wisconsin began a furious attempt to come back.
Wisconsin was forced to pull their goaltender but an empty-net goal by Jay Ness salted away the game and gave Lake Superior their second National Championship.
The Lakers had outshot Wisconsin 37–27 in the game while both teams scored twice on the power play, but the enduring legacy from the match was a confrontation between McConaghy and Wisconsin team members after the game.
The ugly incident would eventually lead to three separate suspensions, a sour finish for what should have been a Lake Superior triumph.
To make matters worse, Wisconsin's participation was later vacated for unrelated violations by team members leaving the 1992 championship one of the most mired in controversy in NCAA history.
Regardless of Wisconsin's response, Paul Constantin, who had started the laker's comeback in the second period, was named the tournament MOP and joined Darrin Madeley, Mark Astley and Brian Rolston on the All-Tournament team.
For the second year in a row Madeley possessed the best goals against average in the nation, posting the best numbers for any qualifying goalie in seven years.

It features backlit keys, a built-in TNC for receiving DX Packet Cluster information, and the Sky Command II+ system (found on the K-Model), which allows for remote control of the transceiver using Kenwood's TH-D7A handheld or TM-D700A mobile radio.
The Kenwood TS-820S is a model of amateur radio transceiver produced primarily by the Kenwood Corporation from the late 1970s into the 1980s; some were produced by Trio Electronics before Kenwood's 1986 name change).
The TS-820S was the second of three hybrid (including vacuum tubes and semiconductors) models produced by Kenwood during the 1970s and 1980s, and was noted for its quality.
Its functionality and new hybrid technology made it one of the most popular transceivers marketed to amateurs in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The transceiver can transmit and receive on the HF 10-, 15-, 20-, 40-, 80- and 160-meter bands, and can receive WWV and WWVH on 15 MHz.
The FT-221 is a modular VHF 2M all mode (SSB, AM, CW and FM) amateur radio transceiver, produced during the 1970s.
The frequency is set by a 500 kHz range VFO being mixed with the product of a number of crystals and is displayed using a rotary display dial.
The top of the case is removed by opening 4 quick release fasteners, revealing a number of user adjustable trimmers and pots.

A cytocentrifuge, sometimes referred to as a cytospin, is a specialized centrifuge used to concentrate cells in fluid specimens onto a microscope slide so that they can be stained and examined.
Cytocentrifuges are used in various areas of the clinical laboratory, such as cytopathology, hematology and microbiology, as well as in biological research.
The method can be used on many different types of specimens, including fine needle aspirates, cerebrospinal fluid, serous and synovial fluid, and urine.
The surface of the funnel assembly that is in contact with the slide is lined with filter paper to absorb excess fluid.
If the cell count is high, cells may be distorted due to crowding; therefore, samples with high cell counts are diluted prior to smear preparation.
This technique was limited by poor discrimination between cell types (cells could only be classified as mononuclear or polymorphonuclear) and the low number of cells present in unconcentrated body fluids.

The castle was ruined by the end of the 15th-century, and sat at the bottom of Coinagehall Street, where the bowling green and Grylls Monument are now located.
Edmund, 2nd Earl of Cornwall was the grandson of King John, and a wealthy magnate who served as regent for his cousin King Edward I.
As Earl of Cornwall, he controlled eight and a third of Cornwall's nine hundreds, and had an income of around £8,000 per year (the equivalent of roughly £ in 2019).
It was granted a town charter by King John in 1201, and gained further status during Edward I's reign, when it became a stannary town which returned two members of parliament.
The location of the site, overlooking the river valley, which at the time was accessible from the sea, has also led to suggestions that it was more defensive in nature.
By the time of William Worcester's visit in 1478, the castle was in ruins, while another fifty years later, John Leland recorded that there were only traces of the castle remaining.
The former site of the castle is now the location of a bowling green and the Grylls Monument, at the bottom of Coinagehall Street.

It begins inside an unknown country with a dictatorship in place, it's like a day like any other for Shif and his best friend, 'Bini'.
They are at school as a normal day goes by and discuss what they want to do when they grow up and finish their military service for the country.
After a few days soldiers from the west of the town begin to show up around the school, scouting Shif and Bini as their fathers were against the government and they unknowingly 'traitors'.
Weeks go by after the story begins and Shif begins to notice the military spying on him, he runs away when one soldier confronts him.
Things begin to escalate when Bini doesn't arrive to school the next day, then when he arrives home his mother tells him he has to leave without his mother and sister since the government is after him.
When they pack everything to leave the soldiers enter his home and search for evidence of them leaving, just as they find it he is sent onto a truck leading to a prison along with his best friend Bini found when the raid of Shif's house begun.
They are lacking of thirst as they are on the truck for a full day straight until they finally reach a prison used with cargo containers to imprison traitors.
They are thrown inside the same cargo container along with 6 other prisoners that have been there for over a decade.
The 6 prisoners explain to them both of the rules and how it works, as well as where they are as they are very confused and thirsty.
After the march 1 prisoner also reveals that his father may be alive after all since he was sent to the same prison 14 years ago.
As soon as they launch it into action after discussing it inside the cargo container, he makes a run for it while the 6 prisoners make a distraction before promptly being gunned down by the guards.
He is forces to make it north towards the Mediterranean Sea to escape to Italy and wait for his family there.
He avoids soldiers searching the area for the escaped convict and he is able to sneak a row boat to the Mediterranean Sea after a few rough days without food nor water.
Storms and starvation kill off 1 man and 1 injured as Shif struggles to survive the madness of the storm upon their row boat.
Shif finally makes it to Italy where he sees his mother and sister but was never able to find out where his father was, which is the falling action of the story.
Shif: The main character of the story, a very smart kid who was unlucky enough to have a father who opposed the government and wanted more pay.
Bini: The main character's friend, is also very smart (maybe even smarter than Shif) and has the same fate as Shif as he attempts to stick alongside Shif's side as much as he can to support him.
He is old and has been in the prison for years for being a traitor, he is promptly shot down later in the story.
He is attributed the solution of different long-lasting conflicts of the abbey, amongst others that with the Bishopric of Konstanz.The construction of the now world famous Saint Gall Cathedral was initiated and supervised by Cölestin, albeit he did not live to see its completion.
Cölestin Gugger von Staudach was born in 1701 as son of city councillor Michael Anton Gugger von Staudach and Maria Oexlin.
First he visited the Jesuit school in Feldkirch, but in 1719 he changed over to the monastery school in Saint Gall.
Father Bernhard Frank von Frankenberg, who had been Cölestin's rival in the election of the abbot, later became the Abbot of Disentis Abbey.
Several times, Cölestin had to support him with staff and money, as the financial situation at Disentis Abbey was for a long time desolate.
With the intervention of Bern and (although showing little interest) Zurich, the abbot managed to receive the Toggenburgers' homage in due form in 1743.
The first negotiated solution regarding the rights of the subject territory, however, was only attained in 1755 - in consequence of pressure from France.
In several other parishes, Abbot Cölestin Gugger proved skill in solving conflicts on the path of negotiation, for instance when people in Rorschach were trying to rebel against the abbatial governance - on grounds of false accusations.
The Bishopric had for historical reasons - the Abbey of Saint Gall officially belonged to the Bishopric - the right to make visitations to the Saint Gall parishes.
Saint Gall had for a longer time been able to shirk these visitations, but the formal eviction of one of the bishopric's judicial vicars from the country was the last straw that broke the camel's back and Konstanz complained.
Finally, the conflict was settled in Rome by means of the exchange of lands (to Konstanz) for rights (to Saint Gall).
However, later on federal troops still had to restore order several times as Saint Gall and Konstanz did not want to adhere to the new rules and, for example, did not present a newly elected chaplain to the abbot, but, as before, to the bishop.
On 29 April 1757, he laid the foundation of his most significant work, the new construction of the Abbey of Saint Gall.
The building itself was constructed in two stages and finished in 1767; the completion of the interior, however, took much more time.
Despite the significant expenses of his construction work as well as trials and jura regalia, he was able to pay back the entire debt that he had inherited from his predecessor and furthermore bequeath his successor 180'600 guilder in cash and 57'695 guilder as capital.
TV Man or Five Piece Cube with Strange Hole is a 1993 mountain rose colored granite and steel sculpture by David Bakalar, installed on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) campus, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.
He also recorded his assaults, which were found in a trash bin by a telephone technician, who reported the matter to authorities.
While working in the clinic, he had a register of about 2,000 clients, who paid above average fees to be attented to by the reputed doctor.
In 2002, a technician from a telephone company, who was helping a colleague repair a telephone line, was surprised to see a large square-shaped trash bag next to the pole in a rubbish dump.
He decided to take them home, in order to find out which ones were good quality, while he would discard the others.
In more than 15 hours of recordings, of which only a small portion were aired, scenes of sexual abuse were committed against about 40 victims – all boys, aged between 8 and 17 years.
But the mother of one of Chipkevitch's patients watched the show, realising who it was, and that same evening filed a complaint to the police.
The doctor was sentenced in the first instance to a total penalty of 128 years imprisonment, plus fines for indecent assault with presumed violence, since the victims were unable to defend themselves.

Joseph Lux (January 1757 – 9 May 1818) was a German actor and operatic bass), who appeared especially in comic roles.
In 1786 he changed to Gustav Friedrich Wilhelm Großmann, who at this time had joined the theatre entrepreneur Christian Wilhelm Klos and played in the cities of Cologne, Düsseldorf and Bonn.
The important ensemble, which last performed in Aachen, gave rise to the Bonner Nationaltheater, which was subsidized by Elector Maximilian Franz with 15,000 Reichstalers per year and opened on 3 January 1789.
Through his activities Lux came into close contact with the young Ludwig van Beethoven and accompanied him and the other members of the court chapel on the memorable journey the court made to Mergentheim in September and October 1791.

As Rick excuses himself and leaves for a solo adventure, which Summer surmises as defecating, Jerry is curious and offers to develop Glootie's app.
Glootie leads them to his mothership, where they meet the aliens' leader, who rebukes humanity's inefficiency in mastering love and states that the app is a distraction to steal Earth's water resources.
As Morty chastises Jerry about his decisions, Glootie puts an ad-wall on the app, leading Summer and everyone else to delete the app and resume their lives.
Upon visiting Tony's office, he finds out from his assistant that Tony has quit his job and died in a ski accident, having intended to live life to the fullest.
Feeling guilty, Rick attends Tony's funeral, then goes back to the lavatory and sits on the toilet, which spawns a crowd of holographic Ricks who berate Tony and his loneliness.
In the post-credits scene, Jerry consumes some Globafin and sees his own ideal reality: himself as a competent water-bottle delivery man.
The episode features guest actors Sam Neill as the Monogatron leader, Kathleen Turner as his wife, Jeffrey Wright as Tony; and director Taika Waititi as Glootie.
Heavy attributes the title to be a reference to Ernest Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea, in which an old man, waning in his abilities, struggles to catch a giant marlin.
Reviewing for Den of Geek, Joe Matar praised the extraordinary parings of Beth and Summer, Jerry and Morty, and Rick alone with himself as mostly extremely well.

Broad Oak also known as Broad Oaks, was an estate in Dedham, Massachusetts owned by Edward Richards and his family, and then later Ebenezer Burgess and his descendants.
Today the name lives on as part of the Broad Oak Farm which is located on part of the original estate.
Richards purchased the property sometime between 1653 and 1670 and, while no record exists recording the transfer, it is suspected it was closer to 1670.
The Broad Oak estate and house were located northwest of the Dedham village, on a bend in the Charles River, off West Street near the present day border of Needham.
It is presumed that Jonathan Richards, a widower, may have lived on the land for a time after he sold it to Burgess.
When and horse and buggy were stolen from the estate in 1904, the Society in Dedham for Aprehending Horse Thieves attempted to capture the criminal.
Bernhard Müller (* 1557 in Ochsenhausen; † 18 December 1630 in Rorschach) was prince-abbot of the Abbey of Saint Gall from 1594 until 1630.
On 19 April 1582 he became baccalaureus philosophiae, on 18 June 1583 he became licentiatus and on 21 June of the same year he became magister artium liberalium summa cum laude.
He became licentiatus theologiae on 11 December 1589 and finally – after public disputation – doctor theologiae on 26 October 1593.
He received the papal blessing on 16 October 1595 (Clement VIII wrote a papal breve on 18 March 1595 against electoral capitulations which were settled at Bernhard's election).
During his abbacy, Bernhard made regular visitations to the parishes, the first in 1602 and then in 1612/13, 1615, 1618, 1621/22, and 1627.
He also conducted several church construction projects; for example, St. Johann abbey, which burnt down in 1626, had to be rebuilt.

She first helped her husband Carl Aller to develop his photolithographic method of image production to establish a magazine containing recipes in 1874.
After colour was added in 1895, sales increased dramatically and production was moved to larger premises on Vigerslev Allé in Valby.
Born on 14 January 1849 in Copenhagen, Laura Christiane Bierring was the daughter of the herbalist Lauritz Jørgen Bierring (1816–1854) and Christine Clausen (1816–1971).
Brought up in a modest Copenhagen home, on 20 October 1871 she married the lithographer Carl Julius Aller (1845–1926) who had become known for inventing a new photolithographic process facilitating the production of multiple copies of the same image.
Complete with attractive illustrations, it kept people updated on the most important events of the day in an entertaining style with a humorous slant.
Such was the income from sales that the family bought the luxurious Sophienholm manor on Lake Bagsværd and travelled to the south of France in their own railway car.
After a modern production plant had been developed, in 1895 the magazine was the first in Scandinavia to appear in colour.
Therefore, bears who range in ecozones that include have access to openings, cover and moisture or water tend to average larger whereas those bears that range into ecozones with enclosed forested areas or arid, sparsely vegetated regions, both of which tend to be sub-optimal foraging habitat for brown bears, average smaller.
Scandinavia, eastern Europe, western Russia), Yellowstone National Park or interior Alaska seasonally weigh on average between , from mean low adult female weights in spring to male bear mean high weights in fall.
These mass variations represent only two widespread subspecies, the grizzly bear in North America and the Eurasian brown bear in Europe.
Due to the lack of genetic variation within subspecies, the environmental conditions in a given area likely plays the largest part in such weight variations.
interior Alaska, with the heaviest weights recorded in Nelchina, Alaska, nearly three times heavier in males than the smallest grizzlies from Alberta, Canada's Jasper National Park.
The enclosed taiga habitat of Jasper presumably is sub-optimal foraging habitat for grizzlies, requiring them to range widely and feed sparsely, thus reducing body weights and putting bears at risk of starvation, while in surfaces areas in the tundra and prairie are apparently ideal for feeding.
A gradual diminishment in body size is noted in grizzly bears from the sub-Arctic zone, from the Brooks Range to the Mackenzie Mountains, presumably because food becomes much sparser in such regions, although perhaps the most northerly recorded grizzly bears ever, in the Northwest Territories, was a large and healthy male weighing , more than twice as much as an average male weighs near the Arctic Circle.
Data from Eurasia similarly indicates a diminished body mass in sub-Arctic brown bears, based on the weights of bears from northern Finland and Yakutia.
Adult shoulder height averaged in Yellowstone (for any bear measured five or more years old) and a median of (for adults only 10 or more years old) in Slovakia.
The largest recorded grizzlies from Yellowstone and Washington State both weighed approximately and eastern European bears have been weighed in Slovakia and Bulgaria of up to , about double the average weight for male bears in these regions.
In Eurasia, the size of bears roughly increases from the west to the east, with the largest bears there native to eastern Russia.
Even in the nominate subspecies size increases in the eastern limits, with mature male bears in Arkhangelsk Oblast and Bashkortostan commonly exceeding .
East Siberian brown bears from outside the sub-Arctic and mainland Ussuri brown bears average about the same size as the largest-bodied populations of grizzly bear, i.e.
On the other hand, the Ussuri brown bears found in the insular population of Hokkaido are usually quite small, usually weighing less than , exactly half the weight reported for male Ussuri brown bears from Khabarovsk Krai.
A similarly diminished size has been reported in East Siberian brown bears from Yakutia, as even adult males average around , thus about 40% less than the average weight of male bears of this subtype from central Siberia and the Chukchi Peninsula.
In linear measurements and mean body mass, several subspecies may vie for the title of smallest subtype, although thus far their reported body masses broadly overlaps with those of the smaller-bodied populations of Eurasian brown and grizzly bears.
Leopold (1959) described the now-extinct Mexican grizzly bear that, according to Rausch (1963), as the smallest subtype of grizzly bear in North America, although the exact parameters of its body size are not known today.
Brown bears of the compact Gobi Desert population, which is not usually listed as a distinct subspecies in recent decades, weigh around between the sexes, so are similar in weight to bears from the Himalayas and even heavier than grizzlies from Jasper National Park.
However, the Gobi bear has been reported to measure as small as in head-and-body length, which, if accurate, would make them the smallest known brown bear in linear dimensions.
Once mature, the typical female Kodiak bear can range in body mass from and from sexual maturity onward males range from .
When averaged between their spring low and fall high weights from both localities, males from Kodiak island and coastal Alaska weighed from with a mean body mass of while the same figures in females were with a mean body mass of .
By the time they reach or exceed eight to nine years of age, male Kodiak bears tend to be much larger than newly mature six-year-old males, potentially tripling their average weight within three years' time, and can expect to average between .
The reported mean adult body masses for both sexes of the polar bear are very similar to the peninsular giant and Kodiak bears.
Due to their roughly corresponding body sizes, the two subtypes and the species can both legitimately be considered the largest living member of the bear family Ursidae and largest extant terrestrial carnivores.
Claims have been made of larger brown bears, but these appear to be poorly documented and unverified and some, even if recited by reputable authors, may be dubious hunters' claims.
In the Kamchatka brown bears from past decades, old males have been known to reach body mass of by fall, putting the subtypes well within Kodiak bear sizes and leading it to be considered the largest of the extant Russian subtypes.
In the 1960s and 1970s, most adult Kamchatka brown bears weighed merely between , however, mean weights of mature male bears have been reported as averaging in 2005.

Léopold Maissin (9 June 1854 - May 1937) was an engineering graduate of the École Polytechnique and industrialist who also became a politician.
He served for many years as the mayor of Le Relecq-Kerhuon, a small coastal municipality in the extreme north-west of France.
His electoral fortunes were otherwise mixed, but he retained his mayoral position till 1914, at which point he was succeeded in the post by his son (also called Léopold Maissin).
The munitions firm hit the headlines in connection with the explosions and sinkings, in 1907 and 1911, of the Iéna and the Liberté, two battleships anchored at the vast Toulon naval base.
The apparently spontaneous sinkings of two major battleships within four years had caught the attention of many influential people both inside and beyond the political establishment: much of the intense and unresolved rancour that ensued between Louppe and Maissin was played out in full public view through the press and other political channels of the time.
He continued to serve as a for well over a dozen years even, in 1904, being elected vice-president of the Departmental council for Finistère.
On the national scene, Léopold Maissin was a candidate in the by-election triggered by the resignation of the local member of the , .
He was knocked out in the first round of voting however, by the conservative candidate who secured 7,479 votes to Maisson's 4,460.
He stood again in the general election of 20 August 1893, but was again beaten in the first round by Émile Villiers who this time won 6,479 votes against the 3,560 cast for Maissin.
This dependency on imports was reduced in 1903 with the opening of a French factory for the treatment of cotton waste at Traon-Élorn {Landerneau} along the Élorn estuary.
Nevertheless, much of the more technically advanced factory investment in France during this period came from abroad: the Traon-Élorn factory was funded by French capital, however.
Léopold Maissin, meanwhile, having previously opposed the development, became a backer of the Grande-Palud powder factory a rival enterprise also located in Landerneau, but financed by German investors.
The Finistère explosives manufacturers found themselves on the receiving end of unwelcome nationwide publicity following explosions at the Military port of Toulon of the battleships Iéna in 1907 and Liberté in 1911.
Léopold Maissin, who had taken over from Albert Louppe as plant director of the powder mill at Pont-de-Buis-lès-Quimerch, insisted that the catastrophic explosions at Toulon had resulted from failures in the manufacturing process at Pont-de-Buis.
A number of further complications were adduced concerning who had said what when to whom and the extent to which Maissin's attempts to alert government to the risks really had been stifled.
At least one report of the matter from 1911 also mentions an already long-standing animosity between Léopold Maissin and Albert Louppe.
Gaudin's investigations were summarized in a report dated 5 November 1911: his work had included a meticulous audit of the various letters that Maissin had submitted to a succession of ministers for war,and others in positions of national authority, over the previous four and a half years.
In 1911 The government responded to the increasingly public nature of the dispute by ordering the dismissal of both men a couple of days after receiving report.
The political ambitions of the two directors caught up in the matter, Albert Louppe and Léopold Maissin, were in that sense a direct cause of the explosions at Toulon harbour.
Millerand added that during a recent visit to (a rival plant in) Angoulême he had been made aware of recent (unspecified) improvements in the production processes that within a few months would enable the French manufacturers to match the standards of the best in the world.
The marriage is known to have been followed by the birth of at least one child: their son Léopold Albert Marie Alexandre Maissin was born on 14 October 1879.
He debuted internationally in his youth career in his U20 team in a match against Grenada and scored his goal for his youth team in a 0-3 victory the 2018 CONCACAF U-20 Championship in the United States.
He made his senior debut on 22 March 2019 in a 3-2 defeat against St. Lucia in the CONCACAF Nations League qualifying rounds, securing their spot to League B.

Carl August Konrad Cannabich (christened on 11 October 1771 – 1 May 1806) was a German composer, violinist, concertmaster and music director.
Born in Mannheim, Cannabich was the son of the court music director Christian Cannabich, one of the most renowned composers of the Mannheim school.
His grandfather was the court musician Martin Friedrich Cannabich, his sister Rose was a pianist and his sister Augusta Elisabeth a singer.
From the age of four he played piano and violin and at the age of nine received violin lessons from Johann Friedrich Eck.
After his return he fell ill with nervous fever and died shortly afterwards in Munich at the early age of 34.
Casinos were brought to Tunica County, Mississippi in the early 1990s as a revenue stream to improve the conditions at the time.
The casinos in general brought in a host of jobs and revenue to the area, and had risen to become one of the larger gaming markets in the country at one time.
The Hollywood Casino began under the name Summit Casino, originally one of four planned for the Commerce Landing area of Tunica.
At the time, Hollywood Casino Corp. owned the Sands Atlantic City and had opened a riverboat casino in Aurora, Illinois, the Hollywood Casino Aurora, the year before.
Hollywood opened in Tunica on August 8, 1994, becoming the ninth casino in Tunica and joining Sam's Town, Southern Belle, and Harrah's at the Commerce Landing section of Tunica.
In 2017, the neighboring Resorts casino (formerly Southern Belle) as well as Bally's (now the 1st Jackpot Casino Tunica) were sold to Penn National Gaming.

José Mário Branco was born in Porto, the son of primary school teachers, and became politically involved in the early 1960s.
This political activity during the dictatorship in Portugal and his opposition to the colonial war led him to seek exile in France in 1963.
There he would eventually meet and collaborate with musicians such as Sérgio Godinho and Zeca Afonso, whose records he produced and recorded at the Château d'Hérouville studios.
After the 1974 revolution Branco returned to Portugal and was the founder of the music ensemble GAC – Grupo de Acção Cultural.
Jacobina Kemp, known as Jeka Kemp, (1876–1966) was a Scottish artist who was known for her woodcut and watercolour paintings of European landscapes and street scenes.
Kemp was born in the Bellahouston district of Glasgow and appears to have been largely self-taught as an artist but may have taken lessions in London before spending 1903 and 1904 in Paris where she attended the Academie Julian.
She showed some landscape paintings of France at a group show in Glasgow in 1907 and subsequently exhibited with the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists, the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts and the Royal Scottish Academy.
From 1912 to 1914 Kemp had a number of solo exhibitions at Macindoe's Gallery in Glasgow and also exhibited with the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1912 and had a number of works purchased by the French government.
After the war Kemp remained in France and had solo exhibitions at the Marcel Bernheim Gallery in Paris and at Warneuke's in Glasgow and also at the Galerie de la Libraire de la Presse in Nantes in 1922.
Kemp gave up painting around 1927 and remained in France until 1939 when she returned to Britain to live with her sisters in Dorset and later Eastbourne.

James Wellwood ‘Whitey’ Basson (born 1946) is a South African businessman and billionaire (in South African rand terms) who was largely responsible for growing a small business called Shoprite from an 8-store chain valued at R1 million into an international retail conglomerate with revenue in 2019 of R150 billion, market capitalisation of R114 billion, more than 2 300 stores and 140 000 employees across 15 African countries.
This moved him in the list of richest South Africans from 9th to 29th with a net worth of R1,7 billion.
Basson was born on 8 January 1946 on the family farm Dasbosch in the Porterville, Western Cape district to Jack and Maude Basson.
He went to school in Porterville and completed his secondary schooling at Rondebosch Boys' High School in Cape Town, where he matriculated in 1963.
He attained his BCom CTA from Stellenbosch University and completed his CA(SA) in 1970 after his articles at ER Syfret & Co (now Ernst & Young).
He then went to work at Brink, Roos & Du Toit (now PricewaterhouseCoopers) and from mid-1970 and in 1971 he practised as a chartered accountant.
By 1981, Pep had grown to 500 stores, 10 factories, 12 000 employees and a turnover of close to R300 million.
Stupple was in regular contact with Basson regarding the sales figures of the Pep stores and Basson realised that his sales figures were being leaked to Stupple.
In 1979 Basson wanted to move to trading fast-moving consumer goods and he reached an agreement with the board of Pep Stores which allowed him to either actively identify opportunities for acquisition of a food retailer or to start a new venture in food retailing.
He found a small eight-store grocery chain in the Western Cape called Shoprite, still owned by the founding Rogut family, which he then acquired.
Basson restructured Shoprite to optimise its growth by focusing on the largest economically active segment of South Africa's population, the middle-to-lower LSM market.
In 1986, Shoprite was listed on the JSE although its net asset value was the R1 million paid for the original eight stores and any accumulated profits.
In 2019 Shoprite had revenue of R150 billion, market capitalisation of R114 billion, more than 2 300 stores and 140 000 employees across 15 African countries.
Deloitte's Global Powers of Retailing 2019 survey (covering the 2017 financial year) ranked The Shoprite Group as the 86th largest retailer in the world.
In 1984, Basson's first acquisition was the six Ackermans food stores, which at that point were owned by the Edgars Group.
In 1990 Basson approached Carlos Dos Santos and bought Grand Bazaars at what was considered an even better price than the original deal.
By 1998 Shoprite had branches in the remote North Western Cape and Mpumalanga provinces but was still considered too small to be competition to South Africa's major supermarket chains, Pick n Pay Stores, OK Bazaars and Checkers.
It had 169 stores and was making losses that equalled Shoprite's turnover and more than 16 000 jobs were at stake.
And I looked at the people round the table and I said 'You know guys we're losing 45 million rands a year.
The addition of Checkers brought the Shoprite Checkers Group to 241 stores with enough clout to compete for better rates in the modern shopping centres that were being developed in South Africa at that time.
There was some criticism by financial analysts of the continued trading under two brand names but Basson saw it as target market segmentation.
The OK brand was created in Eloff Street, Johannesburg in 1927 but by 1997 the fortunes of OK Bazaars had waned to such an extent that the sole shareholder, SA Breweries, disposed of its stake in OK Bazaars to Shoprite for R1, despite the market cap of OK Bazaars being much larger than that of Shoprite.
Basson returned OK Bazaars to profitability by focusing store brands in particular areas and markets: 'OK Bazaars' were turned into OK franchises; 'OK Furniture' and 'House and Home' were consolidated into 'OK Furniture'; 'Hyperama' stores became 'Checkers Hyper' and more than 150 food stores were modernised.
During 2001, Basson devised a strategy to reposition the Checker's brand as close as possible to its higher LSM major rival, Pick n Pay.
The Shoprite stores would then be focussed on the middle LSM's and a new chain called USave was created to focus on the lowest LSM's.
USave had a cost structure that would allow it to reduce its gross margin by 50% while still offering good return on investment.
This repositioning resulted in the Shoprite Checkers Group growing to almost 30% market share of the South African formal retail food market.
In 2019 the group had stores in Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Eswatini, Uganda and Zambia.
Following his retirement, Basson served for nine months on the Shoprite Holdings board as non-executive vice-chairman to ensure an orderly leadership transition.
On 5 May 2017, Shoprite announced that Basson was selling 8,58 million Shoprite shares with a value of R1,8 billion rands which the company was obliged to purchase in terms of an employment agreement completed in 2003.
Basson lives with his family on Klein DasBosch wine estate on the banks of the Blaauwklippen river in the Western Cape.
In 2004 he participated in the Ice Bucket challenge and donated R100 000 worth of boerewors to schools for them to use in fund rasing events.
After graduating from Queens, Chernoff worked as a geologist for a number of oil and gas companies including California Standard, Pinnacle Petroleum, Ulster Petroluems.

Chinua Achebe Literary Festival is an annual literary event held in honour of Nigerian writer and literary critic — Chinua Achebe , the author of Things Fall Apart , in commemoration and celebration of his works and immense contributions in the literary field.
The literary festival was initiated in 2016 (three years after Achebe's death) by award-winning Nigerian writer, journalist and Igbo language activist, Izunna Okafor, who is also the Anambra State's Coordinator of Society of Young Nigerian Writers, the literary body that organizes the event.
Since its inception, the event has been holding annually on Chinua Achebe's date of birth (16 November) at the Prof. Kenneth Dike Central E-Library, Awka the capital city of Anambra State Achebe's home state.
For the first three years of the literary event in 2016 2017 and 2018, the organizers consecutively called for submissions and consequently published three anthologies.

Bactrocera carambolae, also known as the carambola fruit fly, is a fruit fly species in the family Tephritidae, and is native to Asia.
This species is known as a major exotic pest, labelled as high priority in the Tropical Fruit Industry Biosecurity Plan and a quarantine pest in Brazil.
This species is generally characterized by a predominantly black thorax, while featuring abdominal segments with brown lateral posterior markings and a medial longitudinal black band over all three tergum.
Following seven to ten days, the fruit matures and falls to the ground below, where the larvae pupates into the soil; emerging approximately one week later.
Sometimes there may be no symptoms of infestation on the outside of the fruit following feeding, however dark spots are seen especially on carambola, cherry and guava fruits.
Carambola fruit flies prefer to feed on tropical fruits, such as mangos, papayas, and oranges, using their proboscis to pierce the skin and suck liquids from the underlaying flesh.
This new compound is stored in the rectal gland of the male, ready to be released as a sex pheromone during courtship.
The economic losses through invasions by the carambola fruit fly, and those alike, raise a major concern for farmers and government agencies.
Along with carambola fruit fly invasion comes the risk of increased pesticide and how those chemicals have negative consequences for the environment.
Bait sprays are more environmentally acceptable variants of chemical control compared to cover sprays, and consist of an insecticide and a protein bait.
The film is written and starring César Rodríguez and Mauricio Argüelles, along with Bárbara de Regil, Alfonso Herrera, and Rocío Verdejo.

The team moved through the British national sports car championships before becoming a competitor in the World Sportscar Championship, eventually winning world titles in 1989 and 1992.
Chamberlain went on to develop sports cars for Jaguar and Lotus in the 1990s before becoming a customer of the Chrysler Viper GTS-R program in the FIA GT Championship; the team later led MG's return to Le Mans in 2001.
Chamberlain later merged with Gareth Evans to form Chamberlain-Synergy Motorsport to campaign TVRs in 2004 before moving to the European Le Mans Series where they won another championship in 2005.
Chamberlain-Synergy left active motorsports in 2008, although Hugh Chamberlain continues to work as a manager and consultant with other teams in sports car racing.
Developing engines for his own Mallock U2 sports cars led to the formation of Chamberlain Engineering to build and sell engines for road and race cars as well as fund his own entries in Clubmans; the company later moved into their permanent race shop in Buntingford in 1978.
After teaming with Will Hoy in 1982 the pair led the Clubmans series for three years before signing Creighton Brown, purchasing a Tiga sports car and Hart turbocharged engine to move into the Thundersports series, although the engine suffered reliability issues throughout the season.
Once sorting the Hart's issues for 1986 Chamberlain gathered the funding to move to an international series, entering the C2 category of the World Sports-Prototype Championship with the best result of seventh in class at Spa.
The team purchased a new chassis from the defending C2 world champions Spice Engineering for 1987 and Nick Adams became the team's lead driver after the departure of Hoy.
Owner-driver Jean-Louis Ricci also added his own Spice to Chamberlain's team in the latter half of 1987 and continued the partnership into 1988.
Although winless, the two Spices were consistent finishers and the team was runners-up in the C2 teams' championship behind Spice Engineering, while Ricci and co-driver Claude Ballot-Léna were sixth in the drivers' standings.
In 1989, Spice moved to the upper class of the championship and Chamberlain switched from their turbocharged Hart motor to the more dominant Ford Cosworth V8.
Their control of the category was enough that the team skipped the final race of the season, entering their Spice-Ford in the upper class of the championship instead, yet still winning the teams and drivers' championships in the C2 category.
The lower class became defunct in 1990, moving Chamberlain into a class now lead by manufacturer teams from Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Toyota, Nissan, and Porsche, as well as returning to competing against the factory Spice team.
A variety of drivers rotated through the team's two cars, although Vélez later moved to the Spice team and the season ended with Chamberlain not scoring any championship points.
New regulations coming into effect for the series left Chamberlain to enter only select races in 1991 before a return to a full-season effort in 1992, once more in the newly-established FIA Cup category.
Ferdinand de Lesseps, the only driver in the FIA Cup category to compete in all six races that season, handily won the drivers' championship.
Although intended for Le Mans, Chamberlain returned to their British racing roots by competing in the newly-founded BRDC National Sports GT Challenge in 1994, winning their class title with Thorkild Thyrring, as well as entering some other international events on the BPR Global GT Series.
As Lotus took full control of the project in 1995, Chamberlain began various projects with British teams, developing a Jaguar XJ220 and running a Porsche 911 GT2.
The team eventually became involved in Chrysler's new GT program as the first customers of the Viper GTS-Rs, entering a two-car team in the FIA GT Championship.
Chamberlain Engineering returned to prototype racing in 2001 at the behest of MG for a two-year campaign of their new cars at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Although ultimately unsuccessful, the team later purchased a Dome-Judd chassis for use in the American Le Mans Series at the end of 2002.
The new Chamberlain-Synergy team campaigned the cars internationally in 2004 at select events including the American Le Mans Series, Le Mans Series, FIA GT Championship, and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Gareth Evans then made the transition to prototypes with a new Lola-AER chassis and won the LMP2 championship for the Le Mans Series.
The morphological classification of this galaxy is SAB(r)a?, which indicates a weakly barred spiral galaxy (SAB) with a ring-like structure (r) and possible tightly-wound arms (a?).
The Spitzer galactic survey lists a morphology code of (R)SB(r′l,bl,nr,nb)0/a, meaning a barred spiral having a closer outer ring and an inner pseudo-ring/lens, plus a nuclear ring and bar/bar-lens.
In addition to the main bar, there is what appears to be a counter-rotating nuclear bar in the inner , which is at an angle of 60° from the main bar.
There is evidence of star formation, but that has nearly ceased in the nuclear region due to the molecular gas being all but exhausted.
This is a Seyfert galaxy of type 1.9, indicating it has an obscured active galactic nucleus (AGN) powered by a supermassive black hole at the center.
Energy released by the AGN is visible in the form of ionized cones that extend outward from the nucleus to a distance of more than , and lie across the line of sight from the Earth.
The outflow from the core is encountering the galactic ring at a distance of and is significantly enhancing star formation in that region compared to other parts of the ring.

After suffering from two civil wars where much historical and cultural knowledge were lost, Liberia struggled to develop a vibrant film culture.
During this time, members of the Liberian film community stopped movie screenings and went door-to-door to help raise awareness for the virus.
Inspired by the models of Kriterion Amsterdam and Kriterion Sarajevo, Kriterion Monrovia was started by Pandora Hodge while she was a student at University of Liberia in 2011.
Together with other students, she went to different communities in Liberia using a projector to screen about 40 different movies for the general public.
The group was awarded their first seed money from BSC-Spark with later support from Monrovia Breweries, the Accountability Lab, and the Liberian Ministry of Health, among others.
At the conclusion of the event's two-weeks of activities, which included several film screenings, the Charge D'affaires of the European Union, Emma Sundblad, announced the construction of Liberia's first arthouse cinema to be run by the student group.

Sungur, later joined Sultanate of Rum which was under control of Kilij Arslan I. Emir Gazi was the father-in-law of Mesud I, son of Kilij Arslan I.
In 1130, he allied with Leo I, Prince of Armenia against the crusader Bohemond II of Antioch, who was killed in the subsequent battle; Bohemond's head was embalmed and sent to the Abbasid caliph in Baghdad.
Emir Gazi may have been able to conquer more territory in the Principality of Antioch if not for the intervention of Byzantine emperor John II Comnenus, who wished to exert his own influence in Antioch.
In 1131, he besieged the castle of Kaysun (today near the village of Çakırhüyük) in the County of Edessa, but retreated upon the arrival of Count Joscelin, whom Melikgazi believed had already died.
Emir Gazi died at Pazarören, Sivas in 1134, and the Danishmend state began to collapse under pressure from the Byzantines and the Sultanate of Rum.
Dancesport was held at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games in the Philippines and was contested at the Royce Hotel and Casino at the Clark Freeport Zone in Mabalacat, Pampanga on 1 December 2019.
He was the Av Beit Din of Slonim and Königsberg and is thought to have been descended from Shimshon Loew ben Bezalel, the Maharal of Prague's brother through his grandson, Samson ben Pesah Ostropoli.
We also know that around 17 or 18 years of age (1751-1753), he went to Hamburg to study German, Latin, and Greek, as well as the seven sciences.
In around 1766, Ichile Ginshpriker, son of Aryeh Leib Epstein arranged for his first cousin, Basha bat Ze'ev Wolf and Shimshon to be married.
In the 1770s, a young Solomon Maimon came from Nyasvizh to visit the library in search of books on science and medicine.
What Shimshon wanted to do, was to bring science and other subjects into Jewish people's everyday lives, so they could be thought more highly of.
In 1787, the English philosopher, Jeremy Bentham was going to visit his brother, Samuel in Krichev, when he spent the night in Slonim.
As he writes in his journal, all of the inns were full, so he was forced to spend the night with a rabbi that kept a hardware store.
Historians have figured out that this was the same rabbi of Slonim as the one who wrote an approbation to Sefer Oklidus and helped Solomon Maimon's desire for books, Rabbi Shimshon ben Mordechai of Slonim.
In 1791, after the fire, he left town for a spot as an Av Beit Din in the town of Königsberg.
Some of his most famous descendants were the Rabbi Avrohom Yeshaya Karelitz (Author of the Chazon Ish), Rabbi Nissim Karelitz, and Rabbi Shmaryahu Yosef Chaim Kanievsky.
Patricia Berghult Svensson (born 2 May 1994), better known as Patricia Berghult, is a Swedish professional boxer who has held the IBO and WBC interim female super-welterweight titles since November 2019.
Berghult made her professional debut on 18 December 2015, scoring a four round unanimous decision victory over Sara Marjanovic at the Rosvalla Arena in Nyköping, Sweden.
After compiling a record of 13–0 (3 KO), Berghult challenged IBO super-welterweight champion Hannah Rankin on 27 November 2019 at the Hotel Intercontinental in St. Julian's, Malta, with the vacant WBC interim title also on the line.
In a fight that saw Rankin suffer a knockdown from a left hook in the first-round, Berghult won via unanimous decision over ten rounds, with the judges scoring the bout 96–93, 95–94 and 94–93.
The meaning of autograph as a document penned entirely by the author of its content, as opposed to a typeset document or one written by a copyist or scribe other than the author, overlaps with that of holograph.
According to Thompson's article on autographs, when the entire document is written by the hand of the person from whom it emanates, it can technically also be called a holograph.
He distinguishes two types of partial autographs: the first being written by a set of scribes, among whom the composer, the second being a copy made by a scribe other than the composer, to which the composer, in a later stage, applied editorial corrections and/or other modifications.
Autograph letters which are not in the handwriting of the person from whom they emanate, and perhaps only bear the signature of their author, such as in the Vatican usage of the term, are not further considered in this article about autograph manuscripts.
Intermediate stages are possible, for instance Wagner's method of composition entailed several sketch and draft stages, and a first stage of the complete score () before the fair copy.
Other composers used fewer steps: for his cantatas, Bach apparently often started directly with the composing score (with some sketches and drafts written in that score while composing), without, in the end, always transferring such score to a fair copy.
Sometimes, however, he started with the transcription of an earlier work, which developed in a revision score, before being transferred to a fair copy.
For example, the Fantasia in the late 1730s autograph of Fantasia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 906, is a fair copy, but halfway through the (likely incomplete) Fugue the manuscript gradually shifts to a draft with several corrections.
For instance, John Tyrrell argued that Janáček's autograph score of his last opera was less authoritative as the final state of that opera than the fair copy by the composer's scribes, produced under his direction and with his corrections.
Bach's autograph compositions are rarely available for private collectors: the bulk of his hundreds of extant autographs resides at the Berlin State Library, while only a fourth of 40 complete autograph manuscripts outside that collection are privately owned.
Ludwig van Beethoven's autographs have, since a few months after the composer's death in 1727, been sold for considerable prices at auctions.
In November 2016 the autograph score of a Mahler symphony sold for £4,546,250: no autograph symphony had ever sold for a higher price.
Some countries (e.g., France) or local jurisdictions within certain countries (e.g., some U.S. states) give legal standing to specific types of holographic documents, generally waiving requirements that they be witnessed.
The advent of large-scale genomic sequencing has shown that hybridization is common, and that it may represent an important source of novel variation.
Although most interspecific hybrids are sterile or less fit than their parents, some may survive and reproduce, enabling the transfer of adaptive variants across the species boundary, and even result in the formation of novel evolutionary lineages.
There are two main variants of hybrid species genomes: allopolyploid, which have one full chromosome set from each parent species, and homoploid, which are a mosaic of the parent species genomes with no increase in chromosome number.
Allopolyploid species often have strong intrinsic reproductive barriers due to differences in chromosome number, and homoploid hybrids can become reproductively isolated from the parent species through assortment of genetic incompatibilities.
However, both types of hybrids can become further reproductively isolated, gaining extrinsic isolation barriers, by exploiting novel ecological niches, relative to their parents.
Thus hybrid genomes are highly dynamic and may undergo rapid evolutionary change, including genome stabilization in which selection against incompatible combinations results in fixation of compatible ancestry block combinations within the hybrid species.
Genetic exchange between species can impede the evolution of biodiversity because gene flow between diverging species counteracts their differentiation and hybridization between recently diverged species can lead to loss of genetic adaptations or species fusion.
Interspecific hybridization can enrich the genetic diversity of introgressed taxon, lead to introgression of beneficial genetic variation or even generate new hybrid species.
Many of the discussed topics also apply to hybridization between different subspecies or populations of the same species, but this article focuses on interspecific hybridization (referred to as hybridization in this review).
This could potentially lead to reinforcement, selection to strengthen premating isolation or if the species fail to evolve premating isolation, it could increase their extinction risk due to wasted reproductive effort.
If the fitness of early generation hybrids is non-zero and that of some later generation hybrids is as high or even higher than the fitness of one or both parent taxa, hybrids may displace the parent taxa and the hybridizing taxa may fuse (speciation reversal).
If the fitness of early generation hybrids is reduced but non-zero, hybrid zones may emerge in the contact zone of the taxa.
Such introgressive hybridization may enable neutral or selectively beneficial alleles to be transferred across species boundaries even in species pairs that remain distinct despite occasional gene flow.
Hybrid fitness may also differ with cross direction, between first generation and later generation hybrids, and among individuals within generations of the same cross-type.
When rare hybrids backcross with parent species alleles coding for traits that are beneficial for both parental species can be transferred across species boundaries, even if parent species remain distinct taxa.
This process is referred to as adaptive introgression (a somewhat misleading term because backcrossing itself may not be adaptive, but some of the introgressed variants may be beneficial).
Simulations suggest that adaptive introgression is possible unless hybrid fitness is substantially reduced, or the adaptive loci are tightly linked to deleterious ones.
If traits important for species recognition or reproductive isolation introgress into a population of another species, the introgressed population may become reproductively isolated against other populations of the same species.
Many empirical case studies start with exploratory detection of putative hybrid taxa or individuals with genomic clustering approaches, such as those used in the software STRUCTURE, ADMIXTURE or fineSTRUCTURE.
These methods infer a user-specified number of genetic groups from the data and assign each individual to one or a mix of these groups.
They can be applied to closely related taxa without having to preassign individuals to taxa and may thus be particularly useful in the study of closely related taxa or species complexes.
However, uneven sampling of the parental taxa or different amounts of drift in the included taxa may lead to erroneous conclusions about evidence for hybridization.
Introgressive hybridization leads to gene trees that are discordant from the species tree, whereby introgressed individuals are phylogenetically closer to the source of introgression than to their non-introgressed conspecifics.
Such discordant gene trees can also arise by chance through incomplete lineage sorting, particularly if the species compared are still young.
Therefore, discordant gene trees are only evidence of introgression if a gene tree produced by excess allele sharing between the hybridizing taxa is strongly overrepresented compared to alternative discordant gene trees.
An entire suite of methods have been developed to detect such excess allele sharing between hybridizing taxa, including Patterson’s D statistics or ABBA-BABA tests or f-statistics.
Modified versions of these tests can be used to infer introgressed genomic regions, the direction of gene flow or the amount of gene flow.
These methods reconstruct complex phylogenetic models with hybridization that best fit the genetic relationships among the sampled taxa and provide estimates for drift and introgression.
Methods based on linkage disequilibrium decay or methods inferring ancestry tracts can be used to date recent admixture or introgression events as over time ancestry tracts are continuously broken down by recombination.
Demographic modelling should only be applied to small sets of taxa because with increasing number of taxa model complexity increases and the number of model parameters such as timing, amounts and direction of gene flow, and population sizes and split times can quickly become too high.
The fit of the demographic models to the data can be assessed with the site frequency spectrum or with summary statistics in an Approximate Bayesian Computation framework.
It is also possible to gain more power by combining information from linkage disequilibrium decay patterns and the allele frequency spectrum.
Some researchers argue that evidence of a hybridization-derived basis for reproductive isolation should be an additional defining criterion for hybrid speciation, but see.
This stricter definition includes polyploid hybrid taxa but only encompasses a handful of well studied cases of homoploid hybrid speciation, e.g.
Hybrid species can occupy an ecological niche different to those of the parents and may be isolated from the parent species primarily through pre-mating barriers (hybrid speciation with external barriers).
Hybrid species may also be reproductively isolated from the parent species through sorting of incompatibilities leading to new combinations of parental alleles that are incompatible with both parent species but compatible within the hybrid taxon (recombinational hybrid speciation).
A recombinational hybrid taxon typically also has a substantial proportion of the genome derived from the donor of introgressed material, although variation exists both between taxa and within lineages of hybrid taxa.
In general, hybrid species can arise from two major types of hybrid speciation, defined by whether the speciation event is associated with genome duplication (polyploidy) or not.
Homoploid hybrid speciation Homoploid hybrid speciation is defined as the evolution of a new hybrid species with reproductive isolation to both parent taxa without change of ploidy, i.e.
The genomes of homoploid hybrid species are mosaics of the parent genomes as ancestry tracts from the parent species are broken up by recombination.
In the case of polyploid hybrid speciation, hybridisation is associated with genome duplication, resulting in an allopolyploid with increased ploidy compared to their parental taxa.
In contrast to allopolyploids, autopolyploids are characterised by genome duplication within the same species and are thus not discussed further in the context of this review.
Reproductive isolation against parent species is harder to achieve for homoploid hybrids where karyotype differences do not contribute to intrinsic isolation.
Reproductive isolation between a hybrid species and its parental species can arise from a variety of reproductive barriers either before or after fertilization (prezygotic or postzygotic, respectively), which may themselves be dependent or independent of environmental conditions (extrinsic or intrinsic barriers, respectively).
For example, intrinsic postzygotic barriers cause hybrid inviability or sterility regardless of the environment in which they occur, while extrinsic postzygotic barriers result in hybrids of low fitness due to maladaptation to specific environments.
Lowe & Abbott conclude that selfing, timing of flowering and characters involved in pollinator attraction likely contribute to this external isolation.
In African cichlid fish, experimental hybrids displayed combinations of parental traits and preferences which resulted in hybrids predominantly mating with other hybrids.
Intrinsic differences in habitat use or in phenology may result in some degree of reproductive isolation against parent species if mating is time and habitat-specific.
Simulation studies show that the likelihood of hybrid speciation through this mechanism depends on the divergence time between parent species, the population size of the hybrid species, the nature of selection acting on hybrids, and linkage among incompatibilities to each other and to adaptive variants.
Hybrid species have been shown to adapt to novel ecological niches through transgressive phenotypes, or through novel combinations of ecological traits from the parent species, and ecological selection against parent-hybrid cross phenotypes would result in extrinsic postzygotic isolation.
Hybrid speciation results in reproductive isolation against both parent species and genomes that evolve independently from those of the parent species.
Introgressive hybridization can transfer important novel variants into genomes of a species that remains distinct from the other taxa in spite of occasional gene flow.
Following initial hybridization, introgression tracts, the genetic blocks inherited from each parent species, are broken down with successive generations and recombination events.
In allopolyploids, recombination can destabilize the karyotype and lead to aberrant meiotic behaviour and reduced fertility, but may also generate novel gene combinations and advantageous phenotypic traits as in homoploid hybrids.
Theoretical models on hybrid zones suggest that the breakdown of ancestry blocks through recombination is suppressed near genes conferring reproductive isolation due to lower fitness of recombinant hybrids.
The strength of the suppression is affected by the form of selection, dominance, and whether the locus was situated on an autosome or sex chromosome.
2000 generations after hybridization, and segregating incompatibilities are present in the hybrid Italian sparrow approximately 5000 generations after the initial hybridization event.
Selection against incompatibility loci may accelerate the process of fixation of parental alleles as hybrids that possess alleles that are less likely to cause incompatibility will have higher fitness and favourable alleles will spread in the population.
Fixation of recessive weakly deleterious alleles in the parent taxa may, however, also result in hybrids retaining both parental alleles: because hybrids with haplotypes from both parents are not homozygous for any weakly deleterious alleles, they have higher fitness than hybrids with only one parental haplotype.
The balance between alleles and allelic combinations providing favourable phenotypic characters and the strength of selection against incompatibilities determine what introgression tracts will be inherited from which parent species upon hybridization.
The local recombination rate is important for the likelihood of introgression because in the case of widespread incompatibilities, introgressed alleles are more likely to recombine away from incompatibilities in high recombination regions.
Evidence from altered expression patterns in synthetic hybrids and missing gene combinations in a hybrid species also suggest that DNA-repair and genes involved in mutagenesis and cancer related pathways may cause incompatibilities in hybrids.
Transposable elements may, in addition to altering gene products if inserted into a gene, also alter promoter activity for genes if inserted upstream of the coding regions, or may induce gene silencing as a result of gene disruption.
For allopolyploid genomes chromosomal rearrangements may result from the ”genomic shock” induced by hybridisation, with more distantly related species being more prone to genome reorganisations e.g.
Chromosomal rearrangements resulting from either genomic shock or recombination events between non-homologous subgenomes may cause genome sizes to either increase or decrease.
Following genome duplication in allopolyploids, the genome goes through diploidization, which is a process in which the genome is rearranged to act as a meiotic diploid.
After such diploidization, much of the genome is lost due to genome fractionation, the loss-of-function of one or the other of the newly duplicated genes.
In a meta analysis, Sankoff and collaborators found evidence consistent with reduction-resistant pairs and a concentration of functional genes on a single chromosome and suggest that the reduction process partly is constrained.
For example, in the octoploid Fragaria strawberry, one of the four subgenomes is dominant and has significantly greater gene content, more frequently has its genes expressed, and exchanges between homologous chromosomes are biased in favour of this subgenome, as compared with the other subgenomes.
A proposed mechanism of how subgenome dominance arises, suggests that relative dominance is related to the density of transposable elements in each subgenome.
Subgenomes with higher transposable element density tend to behave submissively relative to the other subgenomes when brought together in the allopolyploid genome.
In addition to these changes to genome structure and properties, studies of allopolyploid rice and whitefish suggest that patterns of gene expression may be disrupted in hybrid species.
For the persistence of hybrid genomes in hybrid species they need to be sufficiently reproductively isolated from their parent species to avoid species fusion.
Frequency of hybridization, viability of hybrids, and the ease at which reproductive isolation against the parent species arises or strength of selection to maintain introgressed regions are hence factors influencing the rate of formation of stable hybrid lineages.
Few general conclusions about the relative prevalence of hybridization can be drawn, as sampling is not evenly distributed, even if there is evidence for hybridization in an increasing number of taxa.
One pattern that emerges is that hybridization is more frequent in plants where it occurs in 25% of the species, whereas it only occurs in 10% of animal species.
The absence of heteromorphic sex chromosomes results in slower accumulation of reproductive isolation, and may hence enable hybridization between phylogenetically more distant taxa.
Haldane's rule states that ”when F1 offspring of two different animal races one sex is absent, rare, or sterile, that sex is the heterozygous sex”.
A closely related observation is the large X effect stating that there is a disproportionate contribution of the X/Z-chromosome in fitness reduction of heterogametic hybrids.
These patterns likely arise as recessive alleles with deleterious effects in hybrids have a stronger impacts on the heterogametic than the homogametic sex, due to hemizygous expression.
In taxa with well-differentiated sex chromosomes, Haldane’s rule has shown to be close to universal, and heteromorphic sex chromosomes show reduced introgression on the X in XY.
In line with a role for heteromorphic sex chromosomes in constraining hybrid genome formation, elevated differentiation on sex chromosomes has been observed in both ZW and XY systems.
This pattern may reflect the lower effective population sizes and higher susceptibility to drift on the sex chromosomes, the elevated frequency of loci involved in reproductive isolation and/or the heightened conflict on sex chromosomes.
mitonuclear loci residing on the Z chromosome in hybrid Italian sparrows is consistent with compatible sex chromosomes being important for the formation of a viable hybrid genomes.
Generally, hybridization is more frequently observed in species with external fertilization including plants but also fishes, than in internally fertilized clades.
In plants, high rates of selfing in some species may prevent hybridization, and breeding system may also affect the frequency of heterospecific pollen transfer.
In fungi, hybrids can be generated by ameiotic fusion of cells or hyphae in addition to mechanisms available to plants and animals.
The ease by which such reproductive isolation arises is thus also important for the rate at which stable hybrid species arise.
The ability to self-pollinate may also act in favour of stabilising allopolyploid taxa by providing a compatible mate (itself) in the early stages of allopolyploid speciation when rare cytotypes are at a reproductive disadvantage due to inter-cytotype mating.
Selfing is also expected to increase the likelihood of establishment for homoploid hybrids according to a modelling study, and the higher probability of selfing may contribute to the higher frequency of hybrid species in plants.
Interestingly, Arctic floras harbour an unusually high proportion of allopolyploid plants, suggesting that these hybrid taxa could have an advantage in extreme environments, potentially through reducing the negative effects of inbreeding.
For introgressed taxa, the strength of selection on introgressed variants decides whether introgressed sections will spread in the population and stable introgressed genomes will be formed.
Chances of fixation of beneficial introgressed variants depend on the type and strength of selection on the introgressed variant and linkage with other introgressed variants that are selected against.
Genetic exchange can occur between populations or incipient species diverging in geographical proximity or between divergent taxa that come into secondary contact.
Hybridization between more diverged lineages is expected to have a greater potential to contribute beneficial alleles or generate novelty than hybridization between less diverged populations because more divergent alleles are combined, and are thus more likely to have a large fitness effect, to generate transgressive phenotypes.
Hybridization between more diverged lineages is also more likely to generate incompatible allele combinations, reducing initial hybrid fitness but potentially also contributing to hybrid speciation if they are sorted reciprocally as described above.
After the initial hybridization event the representation is 50% in many polyploid taxa, although parental gene copies are successively lost and might bias the contribution to one majority parent genome.
In both swordtail fish and Italian sparrows there are populations which differ strongly in what proportions of the parent genomes they have inherited.
In hybrid zones with mainly permeable species boundaries, patterns of introgressed regions enable deducing what genomic regions involved in incompatibilities and reproductive isolation.

George Blundell Longstaff (2 February 1849 – 7 May 1921) was a British civil activist who worked for the London Borough of Wandsworth, amateur entomologist and writer.
He was educated at Rugby and New College, Oxford and after obtaining a degree in 1871 in natural science he studied medicine at St. Thomas's Hospital, obtaining a Mead Medal, and graduated B.M.
An injury to his eye while studying at Oxford however put an end to his entomological studies but he took a keen interest on a trip through India and Sri Lanka in 1903-4 accompanied by his second wife, the geologist Mary Jane Longstaff.
She is the former state demographer of California, and chief of the Demographic Research Unit of the California Department of Finance, where she worked since 1975.
She served the Population Association of America as chair of its Committee on Population Statistics and in 1997, its Committee on Applied Demography, and also chaired the American Statistical Association Section on Government Statistics in 1997.
She won the Founder's Award of the American Statistical Association in 2005, and was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2007.
When British officers saw the area for the first time, they found it similar to the Annandale valley in Dumfriesshire or County of Dumfries in Scotland, and decided to name it after the Scottish location because most of the officers hailed from the original Annandale.
According to another story, Charles Pratt Kennedy, the political agent of the British government who was assigned to find a suitable place in India for selecting the Summer Capital, came to Shimla hills in 1822.
It is perhaps for this reason, that it has been spelt as both 'Annandale' and 'Annadale' in documents pertaining to Shimla.
Dussehra was the main event organised, attracting people from the city, but in 1972 a clash between army and police created enmity between the military and civil administration.
Annadale got in controversy during 2005 to 2012, when Himachal Pradesh Government wanted to make an International Cricket Stadium here, but Indian Army refused this by saying that it would damage the scenic charm and nature of the valley and because of all this the situation became a bit controversial.
In 2011 government made an idea to ask the people of Shimla about this desicion, in which the board was placed on The Ridge, on which the people who support this concept had to sign on the board.
Most people supported this by signing on the board, but still government had to accept the Army's demand by cancelling the plan, then the plan was shifted to Dharamshala where in 27 January 2013 first One Day International cricket match was played between India and England in Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium.
Living in Bondage: Breaking Free is a 2019 Nigerian drama thriller film produced by Charles Okpaleke and directed by Ramsey Nouah in his directorial debut.
Twenty-seven years after the events of the original movie, Nnamdi Nworie (Swanky JKA) – the secret offspring of Andy Okeke's (Kenneth Okonkwo) late second wife – is ambitious but unable to hold down a secure career as an advertising executive five years after graduation.
Despite the advice of his cousin Toby (Shawn Faqua), who urges him to believe in his abilities, a frustrated Nnamdi longs for a luxurious lifestyle, and his quest takes him down the same route of his father.
A chance meeting with billionaire Richard Williams (Ramsey Nouah) leads him to the notorious secret cult Brotherhood of The Six, and after initiation Nnamdi is catapulted into high society status, acquiring vast wealth and falling in love with the beautiful Kelly (Muna Abii).
Investigative journalist and blogger Uzoma (David Jone David) grows suspicious of notable billionaires associated with mysterious murders, and consults Andy who is now a pastor.
Having experienced the dark side of cultism himself, Andy uses Uzoma's influence to warn his secret son and save him from The Six – now an international organisation – before time runs out.
The official trailer of the film was unveiled on 17 October 2019, with a special premiere held on 2 November 2019 at the Filmhouse Cinemas, Lagos; it was rated as one of the most anticipated Nigerian films for 2019.
It recorded the highest opening weekend for a Nigerian film for 2019, grossing ₦25.8 million, and the highest collection in a single day for a Nollywood film in 2019.
In its first seven days of release, the film grossed ₦48.6 million, as reported by the Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria.
In its 5th week, the film experienced a drop by 38% for its week on week gross, earning ₦12.5 million and dropping to No.

Williams Peak is a prominent mountain summit located in the Chilliwack River valley of the Cascade Mountains in southwestern British Columbia, Canada.
It is situated north of the Canada–United States border, northwest of Chilliwack Lake, and southeast of Foley Peak, which is its nearest higher peak.
Williams Peak is related to the Chilliwack batholith, which intruded the region 26 to 29 million years ago after the major orogenic episodes in the region.
This is part of the Pemberton Volcanic Belt, an eroded volcanic belt that formed as a result of subduction of the Farallon Plate starting 29 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Williams Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Range where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.

It was one of Caine's most contentious books, causing outrage on its release for its handling of adultery, illegitimacy and divorce.
Mary O'Neill is brought up in Ellan, loved and cared for by her invalid mother within a house dominated by hostile and cruel relations.
Mary is sent to a convent school in Rome at the age of seven and over the subsequent ten years her mother passes away and she grows in religious devotion until she decides to enter a convent.
Back in Ellan, Mary is troubled to meet the foppish Lord Raa, who is clear in his opinion that their marriage is an open arrangement for kudos and money.
Her feeling about the marriage is confirmed by letters from Martin Conrad which reveal that Lord Raa has a mistress in London.
Having attempted to rape Mary on their wedding night, Lord Raa then begins an affair with a former school colleague of Mary's, Alma Lier.
However, Alma and Lord Raa's entourage accompany Mary and her husband and their home is given over to the debauch of the drinking, gambling and immoral living.
Mary makes unsuccessful enquiries about getting a divorce and returns to find the house vacated of guests, as they have ominously gone off on a cruise when it was discovered that Martin was coming to visit.
Despite her best intentions and determined attempts at self-denial, she and Martin admit their love and, on the eve of his departure on another mission to the South Pole, she goes to him in his room.
After evading discovery with the help of a schoolhood friend, Mary hears of the (ultimately false) newspaper reports that Martin had died at sea.
After failing to find any better accommodation, it is in the poor area of Bayswater that she gives birth to a baby girl.
In order to earn money, Mary gives the child to be cared for by a woman in Ilford and gets a job as a seamstress in Whitechapel.
However, poverty drives up the demands of her working day and lessens her ability to act against the poor care that her child is receiving.
Upon learning that she has an illegitimate child, Mary's landlord and employer casts her out and she is faced with a desperate need to earn a large sum of money in order to pay for her sick child's care.
Without other options, she determines to become a prostitute, but is saved from acting on this when Conrad arrives back from the Antarctic and saves her from the street.
However, Mary is recalled to her Catholic vows and sees that she cannot marry again, but she is put off telling Martin this when she discovers that she is terminally ill and without long to live.
Mary doesn't wish to spoil her remaining time with Martin and so pretends not to be ill until the very last.
Understandably most virulent in their derision of the book were Catholics, who found the book to be offensive in many ways, not least in being an apparent attempt to condone adultery and illegitimacy.
For intensity of emotion, detailed analysis of psychological conditions, and passionate human experiences, the reader will find all that can be desired from the pen of Hall Caine.
This was a reflection of the popular success that Caine continued to receive in defiance of his critical reception at this time.
Most marked were the positive personal reactions he received from female readers of the novel, apparently leading to the fact that even 'years later he was still getting letters from women asking how he knew so exactly how they felt.'.
The novel was to remain in print until Caine's death in 1931, when it was in its 29th English edition and had been translated nine times.
The book was considered of such importance to Hall Caine's life work that the character of Mary O’Neill was one of the characters from his novels chosen to be carved onto his gravestone by Archibald Knox.
Released on 8 June 1919 in the US, the film starred Katherine MacDonald as Mary MacNeill, Milton Sills as Martin Conrad, Jack Holt as Lord Raa and Fritzi Brunette as Alma.

Jan Hovaert or Giovanni Hovart (c. 1615–1665) was a Flemish painter who after training in Antwerp spent his known active career in Italy.
He was initially a collaborator in the studio of the de Wael brothers in Genoa and later developed an independent practice.
While he appears to have enjoyed the patronage of the nobility of Genoa, the scope of his oeuvre is not very well understood.
He is believed to be the person registered under the name Hans de Houwer as a pupil of the otherwise obscure painter Jan Blanckaert in the records of the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in the guild year 1633-33.
Genoa was at the time an attractive destination for artists since the competition between artists there was less intense than in the leading Italian cultural centres Rome, Florence and Venice.
Cornelis de Wael was a painter as well as a merchant who had moved to Genoa with his brother Lucas from their native Antwerp around 1619.
The workshop of the brothers de Wael in Genoa was the centre of the colony of Flemish artists who resided in or passed through the city.
The brothers provided a home, materials and tools, they assisted their compatriots with their local integration, passed on recommendations to clients and formulated competition rules.
This was also the case of Jan Hovaert who is described as a pupil as well as a collaborator of Cornelis de Wael..
It seems that later on Hovaert was able to establish himself as an independent painter of historical and religious subjects as well as portraits.
Assarino includes Hovaert, whom he refers to as 'Giovanni Havvorth', among the leading painters in Genoa of that time such as Salvatore Castiglione, Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, Giovanni Andrea de Ferrari and Giovanni Battista Carlone.
Among the 111 works recorded to be in his workshop upon his death were many portraits of prominent personalities in Genoa.
Luca Assarino mentions that Hovaert's reputation relied on his portraits of female and male sitters and that he painted a portrait of Luca Giustiniani, the Doge of the Republic of Genoa between 1644 and 1646.
Two portraits representing Luca Giustiniani, (private collection) and the (Musée de Bastia) were formerly attributed to his master Cornelis de Wael but are now given to Hovaert.
Saint Jerome was dear to the Somaschi Fathers who owned the church since 5 October 1576 as their founder Gerolamo Emiliani was named after the saint.
Hovaert has depicted Saint Jerome as the austere wise model portrayed by Antonello da Messina rather than the disheveled and gaunt figure devoured by penitence preferred by 16th and 17th century painters.
The work shows the stylistic characteristics of the artist: the use of rapid touches and a free brush in the physiognomies and palette of the painting.
His eyes are vivid and very mobile and their liquidity and brightness is highlighted through carefully placed highlights and dots of color.
Hovaert may also have been active as the copyist who created many of the copies after van Dyck that are found in Genoa.

When his mother remarried, the family moved back to Vienna, where he began his theater career at the age of 17.
Shortly thereafter he took over the direction of the theatre in Ljubljana, which at that time was connected with that of Trieste.
In 1847 he was engaged by Count Skarbek after Lemberg in his newly built theatre as artistic director, but returned to Ljubljana, Trieste and Klagenfurt as early as 1848.
When he threw himself with it in 1860 because of financial discrepancies, he continued to run the theater alone until 1864.
Some well-known actors, like the later Viennese Burgschauspieler Konrad Adolf Hallenstein and the singers Franz Innozenz Nachbaur and Eduard Bachmann, he brought into his ensemble.
After a short interruption he led this theatre again from 1865 to 1866, until it was closed by the Austro-Prussian War.
A foundation of Thomé was the New Town, Prague theatre he built at his own expense, from 1868 he also directed the stage of Linz.

The Golden retriever egg challenge is a viral video phenomenon where people put a raw egg in a dog's mouth to see if it can hold it without cracking it.
It began after the veterinarian Carrie DuComb read that golden retrievers had soft mouths and were thus bred to be able to retrieve things killed by hunters.
Her 17 year old niece Haley Bowers posted a video of the dog doing this on Twitter, resulting in millions of views.
The president of the Australian Veterinary Association, Dr. Paula Parker, has warned people that putting an egg in a dog's mouth could be a choking hazard and that salmonella and other harmful bacteria could be on the outside of the egg as well as the inside.
The Iroquois Confederacy and the Blackfoot Confederacy are two prominent pre-colonial examples of collective organization prior to or during the process of colonization.
After the First World War, the League of Indians in Canada was founded by a Mohawk veteran, Fred Ogilvie Loft (1862-1934).
Rickard organized an annual celebration to assert border crossing rights, Indian rights generally, and respect for the value and dignity of Indigenous culture.
A split took place in the League of Indians in 1938, and in 1939 the Indian Association of Alberta was formed.
In 1945, the North American Indian Brotherhood was founded by Andy Paull as a national lobby group which urged extension of voting rights without loss of Indian rights, removal of liquor offences as a way of ending most of the criminal charges faced by Indian people, and advocating pensions and welfare for Indians on the same level as the Canadian population.
Its objective was to protect Indian treaties and treaty rights; to promote the welfare of the Indians of Saskatchewan, to foster progress in the economic development, education and social life of Indians; and to cooperate with civil and religious authorities in matters pertaining to Indian interests.
The first Chiefs meeting in 1969 was organized by Rose Charlie of the Indian Homemakers Association of BC, Philip Paul of the Southern Vancouver Island Tribal Federation and Don Moses of the North American Indian Brotherhood.
The National Indian Council was created in 1961 to represent Indigenous people of Canada, including treaty/status Indians, non-status Indians, the Métis people, though not the Inuit.
This organization, however, collapsed in 1967 as the three groups failed to act as one, so the non-status and Métis groups formed the Native Council of Canada and the treaty/status groups formed the National Indian Brotherhood (NIB), an umbrella group for provincial and territorial organizations like the Indian Association of Alberta.
The NIB was a national political body made up of the leadership of the various provincial and territorial organizations (PTOs) which lobbied for changes to federal and provincial policies.
In 1970, George Manuel, Noel Doucette, Andrew Delisle, Omer Peters, Jack Sark, Dave Courchene, Roy Sam, Harold Sappier, Dave Ahenakew, Harold Cardinal and Roy Daniels incorporated the National Indian Brotherhood.
A report of the federal Interdepartmental Committee on Indian and Eskimo Policy in July 1971 formed the basis for the Secretary of State Core Funding program for native organizations approved by Cabinet.
The government envisaged a neat package of three national aboriginal associations and one regional association per province or territory for each.
An adjustment was made in the case of Ontario where Indians had already organized four associations on tribal and treaty lines.
The new structure, which gave membership and voting rights to individual First Nations chiefs rather than provincial/territorial organizations, was adopted in July 1985, as part of the Charter of the Assembly of First Nations.
In British Columbia (BC), the Native Brotherhood had always represented both status and non-status Indians and the United Native Nations (established following the demise of the BC Association of Non-Status Indians) had aggressively asserted the same principle.
Similarly, some of the BC tribal councils, the Council of Yukon Indians (CYI) and the Dene Nation rejected in principle the distinction between status and non-status Indians.
This has led to a situation in which the then vice-president of the Native Council of Canada (for non-status people) was a status Indian, while the president of the CYI and the vice-president of the Dene Nation were non-status Indians at this time.
Although it is administered by Russia and had been previously by the Soviet Union, it has been claimed by Japan since 1945.
At the end of World War II, the Japanese military garrison surrendered to Soviet troops, the island was incorporated into the Soviet Union, and the Japanese population was repatriated to Japan.
As part of the US-South Korean joint military exercise Team Spirit, six U.S. navy Corsair II attack aircraft flew over the island.
Due the Kuril Islands' disputed status, an American apology would have tacitly approved of the Soviet Union's presence and hurt Japan's claim to the island.

Remo Calapso was Italian national chess master (1924), Italian national correspondence chess master (1925–26; 1929–30), problematic and solver of chess problems.
Remo Calapso took part in numerous chess tournaments: Palermo (26 May-3 June 1924), Foligno (14-25 September 1924), Bologna (13-27 September 1925), Livorno (1-15 August 1926), Florence (4-17 October 1936; 1948), Chioggia-Sottomarina Lido (May 24-June 2, 1970), Imperia (September 19–27, 1970), Rovigo (October 3–11, 1970), Catanzaro (April 17–25, 1971).
Remo Calapso was in Messina for a good part of his life, not by chance he is often considered a native of Messina.
Among these he should mention a draw with the world champion Tigran Petrosian, obtained in the 6th round of the 1967 Venice chess tournament.
Two days later, in the 9th round, Calapso led the white pieces against Janosević, playing in a very precise manner, so much so that already at the twentieth move the great Yugoslav master found himself with Queen's side completely devoid of pieces, only to be forced to leave after a few moves.
Vincenzo Nestler, the strongest Sicilian player of the modern era, learned to play in Messina, right at the home of his friend Calapso.
Calapso used to get shaved by a barber at his home, and during the beard he didn't disdain to play various games blindly against some opponents.
On one of those occasions, when Calapso was playing four games blindly, Nestler was also present who was impressed and fascinated by this ability, and after that event he devoted himself to chess, becoming the strong chess player.
After playing on the first and second tier he went on to Bærum SK in 1997, before a five-season spell in Kjelsås from 1998 to 2002.

1890) was a Datooga tribal leader and medicine man known for his skill in thaumaturgy and divination, which has led to his establishment as a folk figure within Iraqw and Datooga society in Tanzania.
In a decisive battle that took place between 1836-1851 located in the vicinity of Ngorongoro crater, the Datoga were defeated and expelled from the area by the Maasai.
Fearing continued attacks from the Masai, Saigilo migrated with the rest of the Bajuta northwards to Raho, in the Gummenti basin.
It is believed that Saigilo and his followers stayed there for some time before migrating southeast, finally settling in Maiba near Mbulu, around 1890 or later.
Relations between the Iraqw and the Datooga were amicable and marked by cooperation, due to the pastoral nature of both tribes.
The Iraqw would participate in the cattle-breeding ceremonies of the Datooga, and Saigilo, as chief medicine man of the Bajuta, was thought to have the ability to produce medications that would increase the fertility of the cattle, which were traded extensively among the Iraqw.
In addition, intermarriage between the Datoga and Iraqw was commonplace, as a result of similar cultural and economic orders and Iraqw exogamic traditions.
It is said that prior to the exodus from Ngorongoro crater to Nyamwezi land, Saigilo had warned the tribe thrice to flee until the encroachment of the Maasai, famine, and disease finally forced them to withdraw and begin their aforementioned exodus.
In a dream, Saigilo allegedly destroyed a barrier he had erected between the people of his tribe and the coast, hoping that assistance in repelling the Maasai would come from the east in the form of the ‘red men.’ The ‘red men’ were said to be among the first settlers of Tanganyika, appeared to be of European descent, and whose disappearance would bring about famine and destruction.
The disappearance of the ‘red men’ are said to be compelled by Murungu, a Bantu creator deity, whenever the universe becomes unbalanced.
The arrival of German colonial forces was heralded as the return of the ‘red men,’ due to their European features and their boots, which made it appear as if they lacked toes.
At the end of the 19th century, Saigilo predicted extensive ecological change in Iraqw land, claiming that bushland and trees of non-local origin would dominate the landscape and that one would no longer have to travel far for firewood.
Curiously, this is exactly the case today, with Iraqw land being populated with eucalyptus and black wattle, flora typically native to Australia.
Recent efforts to introduce sex education and safe sex practices to the Datooga have been meet with disapproval, partly due to one of Saigilo's prophecies.
Attempts to promote monogamy and the use of condoms are seen as violations of traditional Datooga sexual and marriage practices, with the violation of the latter believed to lead to sexual degeneracy.
At some point during his establishment near Mbulu, Saigilo's homestead was subject to a raid by the Maasai, and Saigilo was injured as a result.
This attack was believed to have been perpetrated by Be’a, a Manda medicine man who allegedly used magic to compel the raid.
Saigilo's son by his senior wife, Gidamowsa, succeeded Saigilo as leader of the Bajuta and migrated with the members of his tribe to Dongobesh, the ancestral home of the Gisamijanga.
In 1910, Gidamowsa, along with eleven medicine men, including elders of the Daremngajega clan and an elder of the Mbulu Iraqw , were accused of vandalizing weapons belonging to German colonial forces.
It is believed that the executions were the result of the German colonial authority's fears regarding the group's influence on the Datooga and neighboring tribes.
The executions led to waning Datooga influence in the region as a result of the reluctance of Datooga medicine men to continue to perform magical acts and religious ceremonies, which thereby led to an increase in Iraqw influence.
Later interactions between the Datoga and colonists were punctuated by similar instances of persecution, including execution, arbitrary imprisonment, and property confiscation and taxation.

Josaphat Groleau (born September 11, 1893 in Saint-Tite, Quebec, Canada - Death January 11, 1993 in Sainte-Thècle) was a Quebec businessman (Canada), a mayor, county prefect and president of the School Board of the village of Sainte-Thècle.
Then, he served as mayor in three periods: from 1927 to 1931; from 1947 to 1955; then from 1960 to 1965.
He served as commissioner from 1935 to 1945 to the school board of the village, and president from 14 April 1947 to 13 June 1949.
Among his public duties, Josaphat Groleau was in 1944, with Jeffrey Veillette, director of the board of the Quebec Forestry Association Inc. (Saint-Maurice Regional Circle).
On March 5, 1960, a special holiday was held in tribute to Josaphat Groleau on March 5, 1960 with a buffet at the Hotel Laviolette; he was then governor of the Sainte-Thècle Youth Chamber of Commerce.
Following his death, the City Council of Sainte-Thècle paid tribute to him on the obituary page of Le Nouvelliste for his social and economic involvement throughout his life.
Farmer in Saint-Tite, Theodore Groleau (married to Amanda Carpentier) arrived in 1897 at Sainte-Thècle with his family to be closer to his forest yard business; he executed timber cutting contracts until 1913.
After an active life in business, Theodore retired in 1931; until then, business activities were done under the name Théodore Groleau et Fils.
On May 12, 1948, Groleau inc. was created by Josaphat, Arthur (timber contractor) and Paul Groleau (accountant) In 1948, Groleau inc began the operation of a hardwood floor (slatted floor line) factory which was completely destroyed by fire in March 1954, in front of Sainte-Thècle railway station.

Two institutions are known for the Fastenrath Award, whose purpose is the awarding of prizes, called Fundación Premio Fastenrath and Premi Fastenrath, instituted with the posthumous legacy of Johannes Fastenrath Hürxthal, to award writers, of Spanish nationality and in Spanish, the first; and in Catalan, the second.
(in 1908), he conferred on King Alfonso XIII the power to proceed in the best way he considered, always under a foundation that instituted a prize for Spanish writers, with the requirement that he be named Juan Fastenrath as tribute.
(in 1908), he gave the City Council of Barcelona the power to proceed in the best way he considered, instituting an award at the Floral Games in Barcelona, a literary institution closely linked with her and her late husband, with the requirement of to bear the name of Juan Fastenrath as a tribute.
Luise Goldmann addressed a letter to King Alfonso XIII to show the founding objective of the institution and the means it has for the economic support of the same.
In a similar way to the Fastenrath Prize Foundation, the Royal Spanish Academy has been administering, on the basis of legacies instituted by individuals or private funds, a series of foundations with similar prize objectives.
It was always awarded to a work, in the Spanish language and carried out by writers of Spanish nationality, of literary or scientific creation, with the requirement that it had been published previously.
Initially, the work submitted should have been published in the same year as the competition, but when it was split up and awarded in successive rounds in various forms, up to five, the number of years preceding publication also changed, so that all published works had the same opportunity to be submitted and awarded, regardless of the form of the award.
In the case of the plays, in the first specific calls for entries, they had to have been premiered beforehand, a requirement that was later changed.
The economic amount of the prize came from the income of the instituted legacy, and varied over time, from 2,000 pts.
It can be seen that the maintenance of the same economic endowment without any increase, twice over extremely long periods of up to thirty-five years, gave the prize during those years a value more symbolic and testimonial than real, and contributed only because it was considered the dean of the prizes for writers in the Spanish language.
Fastenrath's passion for the Hispanic world and its literature led him to move some of the literary traditions of Hispanic culture, and particularly Catalan culture, to Cologne, the German city where he lived.
Thus, in 1898, he established in Cologne some floral games (1898-1914), in imitation of the Barcelona Floral Games (1859- ), which he personally directed until his death and his widow continued, until her subsequent death in 1914.
Luise Goldmann, who always maintained her husband's interests and memory, had already been appointed Queen of the Barcelona Floral Games in 1889.
So, in order to carry out Luisa Goldmann's task, Barcelona City Council arranged for the creation of the Premi Fastenrath, with the income from municipal debt securities acquired with the founding capital provided, and assigned the administration and organisation of the prizes to the Consistori dels Jocs Florals de Barcelona, in accordance with regulations approved by the plenary session of the municipal corporation in November 1908.
The annual calls were always made by awarding a single prize, which rotated in triennial cycles between three modalities, novel, poetry and dramatic work.
In this period the prize money will be given away in various currencies depending on the edition, such as Mexican pesos or dollars.

The Hida ruins in the city of Myōkō are located in a flat area on a hillside ridge with an elevation of approximately 40 meters, on the southwestern edge of the Kubiki Plain, and are divided into three areas.
The foundations of 47 pit dwellings were discovered, with each dwelling having a diameter of between eight and ten meter for the larger, or 2 meters for the smaller on the north slopes of Mount Momoko, clustered into three groups.
They attracted scholarly attention as they appear to have been abandoned at the end of the Yayoi period or start of the Kofun period, were excavated by the University of Tokyo from 1955-1958.
This was a village ruin from the middle Yayoi period, with a large scale workshop for making jadeite balls, which were used as pestles for grinding.

The International Lunar Resources Exploration Concept (ILREC) was a proposed mission architecture under President George H. W. Bush's Space Exploration Initiative (SEI) by Kent Joosten, an engineer at Johnson Space Center.
The plan would have used the help of international partners, mainly the Soviet Union, to assemble a lunar base and sustainable lunar transportation service.
On July 20, 1989, the 20th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, George H. W. Bush — then President of the United States — announced plans for what came to be known as the Space Exploration Initiative (SEI).
He asked Vice President Dan Quayle to lead the National Space Council in determining what was needed to carry out these missions in terms of money, manpower and technology.
According to Steve Dick, NASA Chief Historian, the National Academy of Sciences largely concurred with the NASA study, but White House and Congressional reaction to the NASA plan was hostile, primarily due to the cost estimate.
In the event, execution of the initiative was assigned to NASA, but the initiative did not survive long into the administration of the next president, Bill Clinton.
The plan would utilize multiple lunar surface rendezvous (LSR), where vehicles would meet on the surface for refueling, rather than Apollo's Lunar orbit rendezvous (LOR).
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory proposed a LSR for Apollo but it was quickly turned down to the amount of technology, such as In situ resource utilization, that would need to be developed.
The lander would have a rectangular structure which would include fuel tanks and engine blocks towards each end of the vehicle.
The landing legs would fold against the lander's underside inside of a streamlined shroud during ascent aboard a Shuttle-C or another Shuttle-Derived Launch Vehicle like the then under development National Launch System.
The crew capsule would separate from the powered stage and orientate itself for reentry similar to the Apollo capsule with its heat shield towards the atmosphere.
The Moon Bus would have been a large rover designed to accommodate 2 passengers for days or weeks at a time.
At least two of these rovers would be positioned at the temporary outpost and would act as crew quarters and mobile labs.
The 4-person crew would divide into teams of 2, each stationed to one rover, and would depart the outpost on separate missions.
The Energia used four strap-on boosters each powered by a four-chamber RD-170 engine burning kerosene/LOX, and a central core stage with 4 one-chamber RD-0120 (11D122) engines fueled by liquid hydrogen/LOX.
The rocket had the capacity to place about 100 tonnes in Low Earth orbit, up to 20 tonnes to geostationary orbit and up to 32 tonnes via translunar trajectory into lunar orbit.
The Space Shuttle external tank and Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) would be combined with a cargo module that take the place of the shuttle orbiter and include the Space Shuttle Main Engines.
The Shuttle-C concept would theoretically cut development costs for a heavy launch vehicle by re-using technology developed for the shuttle program.
With the Shuttle-C, it was thought that the lower maintenance and safety requirements for the uncrewed vehicle would allow a higher flight rate.
In the early 1990s, NASA engineers planning a crewed mission to Mars included a Shuttle-C design to launch six non reusable 80 ton segments to create two Mars ships in Earth orbit.
After President George W. Bush called for the end of the Space Shuttle by 2010, these proposed configurations were put aside.
Phase 1 would have been mostly robotic missions that would have set up the liquid oxygen plants for the crew's return trip.
Flights 1-3 would have delivered another Moon Bus rover and scientific equipment, a rover support module with airlocks and habitat space, and a pressurized crew module with logistics mounted on wheels.
In March 1962 the Papua New Guinea Select Committee on Political Development was set up to identify future amendments to political arrangements in the territory.
Following the visit of a United Nations mission that proposed a 100-member legislature, the committee toured the territory in September and October, taking evidence from over 450 residents.
The 37-member Legislative Council (which had only twelve elected members) was replaced with a 64-member House of Assembly of Papua and New Guinea.
The new legislature had 10 official members (civil servants) and 54 elected members, of which 10 were elected from reserved constituencies in which only Europeans (who numbered around 25,000 of the total population of around two million) could be candidates; Europeans could also run in the non-reserved constituencies.
A total of 299 candidates contested the 54 seats, of which 238 were indigenous and 61 Europeans; 31 of the Europeans contested the 10 reserved seats and 30 ran in the general constituencies.
Three of the candidates for the general constituencies were former or present cargo cult leaders, Francis Hagai, Paliau Maloat and Yali.
Although Yali ran in the Rai Coast constituency, numerous voters in the neighbouring Madang constituency attempted to vote for him, submitting blank votes after being told he was not on their ballot.

Following the elections, the requirement under electoral law for candidates to achieve an absolute majority of votes in their constituency to be elected became a controversial issue; as many voters did not use their preference votes, there were 32 constituencies where no candidate achieved a majority.
In April Mick Casey, a losing candidate in South Markham, notified the Electoral officer that he intended to file an appeal.
However, Casey did not file his appeal, and the electoral law was amended on 16 June to remove the requirement for an absolute majority.
One of the first decisions made was that only English, Tok Pisin and Hiri Motu would be used in the Assembly, after Handabe Tiabe (who spoke none of the three languages) attempted to bring his translator into the chamber.

Based on the most commonly deployed topology of systems within a data center, East-West traffic indicates flow of data among devices within a specific data center.
The other direction of traffic flow is North-South, which typically indicates data flow that either enters/leaves the data center from/to a system physically residing outside the data center.
Today many virtual functions including virtual firewalls, load balancers and other software defined networking (SDN) perform various functions and services that previously ran on physical hardware.
As these components relay data to each other, they increase traffic on the network, which can increase latency and cause network congestion.
There is a top of the rack (ToR) switch (also called as leaf) that connects the systems within the rack as well as to other switches called Spine switches.
Applications communicate with other applications running on other systems for typical services, such as accessing an asset stored in another device, gathering results from a micro-service task(s) executed on other systems, or simply getting a status update from management software.
Caveasphaera is a multicellular organism found in 609-million-year-old rocks in the Guizhou Province of South China, that is not easily defined as an animal or non-animal.
The organism is notable due to the study of related embryonic fossils (measuring about a half-millimeter in diameter) which display different stages of its development: from early single-cell stages to later multicellular stages.
Such fossil studies present the earliest evidence of an essential step in animal evolution - the ability to develop distinct tissue layers and organs.
General Sir Richard Foster Carter Foster, (27 January 1879 – 3 April 1965) was a Royal Marines officer who served as Adjutant-General Royal Marines and later as colonel of the East Surrey Regiment.
Born on 27 January 1879, Foster grew up and was educated at Stubbington House School, a boys' preparatory school near Fareham in Hampshire, where his grandfather and father, and later his brother, served as headmaster.
In the next few years he held a number posts, including adjutant of the Royal Carmarthen Artillery (Militia) from 1905 to 1908.
He became a temporary Lieutenant Colonel in September 1915, serving as Assistant Adjutant and Quarter Master General, 63rd (Royal Naval) Division until August 1918 and then Assistant Quarter Master General, 10th Army Corps until February 1919.
For these services he received the Distinguished Service Order in 1918; was made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in June 1919; an officer of the Belgian Order of Leopold with the Croix de Guerre in October 1919 and was four times mentioned in despatches.
Promoted Major General in 1932, Foster was appointed Adjutant-General Royal Marines in October 1933, at the time the highest appointment within the Royal Marines.
While still Adjutant-General, he was promoted to Lieutenant General in 1934 and retired from the Royal Marines in October 1936, receiving the rank of full General.
He was made a companion of the Order of the Bath in January 1930, and elevated to Knight Commander of the Order in 1935.
The 31st Foot, which became part of the East Surrey Regiment in 1881, had been first raised as a regiment of marines and Foster did much to develop the ties between the Royal Marines and the East Surreys.
One of Foster's brothers, Lieutenant Archibald Courtenay Hayes Foster, was killed in action in British East Africa on 20 September 1914.
In its 4th year under head coach Jeff Jackson the team compiled a 31–10–4 record and reached the NCAA tournament for the eighth time.
The Lakers defeated Boston University 9–1 to win the championship game at the Saint Paul Civic Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
While they lost leading scorer Brian Rolston to the pros, the Lakers returned their next five point-getters and fielded a team full of players who had made consecutive deep runs in the NCAA tournament.
The Lakers began the season with four wins against conference opponents but when they hosted the class of the CCHA, Michigan, in early November Lake State suffered its first loss of the year.
Worryingly, the next night against Bowling Green also ended in a loss for the Lakers, who had built their success under Jeff Jackson by being neatly unbeatable at home.
After a pair of road wins Lake Superior could only manage a home split against Notre Dame who was still recovering from nearly losing their program a decade earlier.
Lake Superior ended the first half of their conference schedule with a loss at Michigan State, dropping to 7–4 and looking like a shadow of the team that had been 20 minutes away from a National Championship eight months earlier.
Unlike most in-season tournaments each team would play one another and the tournament champion would be the team who finished with the most points.
Despite having played just two days prior and having to deal with the jetlag from the 3,500 mile journey, the Lakers swept through the competition, winning each game and winning the second iteration of the tournament.
lake Superior got two full weeks to recover from the trip before they hit the ice again and they continued their winning streak with another pair of road wins.
LSSU then battled Minnesota for the tournament title and required double overtime to decide the winner but when the dust settled it was Lake Superior who held the crown.
Lake State fought valiantly in the first game, narrowly missing with a 3–4 loss in overtime but after Michigan's win in the second game Lake Superior had dropped to 9–6 in the CCHA, 13 points behind the Wolverines.
After recovering with three points against Ohio State the Lakers against suffered a home split then played three overtime games in a week that ended with mediocre results.
The Lakers got the first week of February off and when they returned to game action that were already out of the running for the conference championship (with 8 games still to play).
One bright spot, however, was that Michigan had been so dominant against the CCHA that the three losses Lake State suffered were mirrored by their competition for the 2nd-seed.
The Lakers began their final stretch against Michigan State, who they had to beat if they wanted a top seed, and they blitzed the Spartans with a surprising 11–1 win.
LSSU earned three points in the series after tying the second game then captured another three points to pull into a tie for third with Western Michigan.
With the Spartans 2 points ahead with 4 games to play, the Lakers' couldn't have asked for a better schedule than to play Illinois–Chicago and Kent State in consecutive weekends.
Up to that point in the season senior starter Blaine Lacher had had a good season but he finally earned his first shutout of the year against UIC.
After Lacher allowed only one goal in the rematch the Lakers found themselves in a tie for second with the Broncos after Michigan State's disastrous weekend.
Lacher continued his hot streak by shutting out Kent State in consecutive games and after Western Michigan failed to keep pace the Lakers ended the season with a 2nd-place CCHA finish.
The Buckeyes proved they were no match for the Lakers when they failed to score in wither of the two games, allowing Lacher to run his shutout streak almost to 300 minutes, a new program record.
The quarterfinal bye allowed the Lakers to rest while MSU got in a dogfight with Miami and when the two met the Spartans couldn't beat Lacher who posted his fifth consecutive shutout and was approaching the all-time NCAA shutout record.
Lacher and the Lakers faced a tall task in the conference title game against Michigan and at least early on it appeared that they might have a chance for both the title and the record.
However, just after his 375th minute of scoreless play, Lacher finally surrendered a goal and the near-miss to the record seemed to deflate the team.
Lake Superior could only muster 15 shots against a ferocious Wolverine defense and the Lakers fell 0–3, ending their three-year reign as CCHA Tournament champions.
Despite catching fire at the end of the season Lake Superior only received the 4th western seed and would have to face Michigan in the Regional Semifinals.
The Huskies hadn't played well to end the season but they were still able to put up a fight against Lake Superior, scoring five times and pushing LSSU into their 11th overtime game of the season.
Lake Superior had lost as many extra-session games as they had won to that point but they were able to get above .500 and advance to the second round.
The fifth meeting between the two looked like it was going to go the same way as the first four when Michigan opened the scoring 9 minutes in but Lake State responded by scoring three times in just over three minutes to give themselves a 2-goal edge after the first.
The Wolverines recovered in the third and methodically took over, firing 20 shots at Lacher and scoring three times to retake the lead but a goal by Kurt Miller, with just 3 seconds left in the second period, tied the score at 4-all.
The Laker goal seemed to sap the energy from the Wolverines and the two teams played the final frame a bit more evenly.
Both teams appeared nervous at the start with only one shot being recorded in the first two and a half minutes, but when Rob Valicevic got the first Laker shot of the session it ended up in the back of the net and the Lakers had landed their white whale.
Lake State's third game of the tournament ended in much the same manner as the first two with overtime being needed but team captain Clayton Beddoes' goal just past the 4-minute mark sent Lake Superior to its third consecutive championship game.
The three nail-biting finishes had left their mark on the team with Jeff Jackson downing Tums and Blaine Lacher finding hair coming off in his mask.
Their final game came against the top eastern seed, Boston University, and they were expecting to weather a storm from the favored Terriers who had outscored opponents by more than 40 goals in the first period alone that season.
Instead, it was the Lakers who got off to a hot start with one goal in the first period to BU's none.
The score might have been a surprise but what was truly shocking was how poorly Boston University had played; the Terriers had only been able to muster 2 shots on goal in the first 20 minutes that that didn't bode well for their chances.
BU did score in the second period but by then the route was on and Lake Superior ended up scoring nine goals from seven different players.
More importantly was the fact that Lake Superior finally got a National Championship without a cloud of controversy hanging over the victory.
Sean Tallaire received the tournament MOP on the back of his two goals but the award could have gone to any number of Laker players with their dominating performance.
Tallaire was joined by Blaine Lacher, Keith Aldridge, Steve Barnes and Clayton Beddoes on the All-Tournament team, tying the record for the most players by one team in a season.
Blaine Lacher finished with a program-record 1.98 goals against average and 6 shutouts on the season (still program bests as of 2019) but his heroics went unrecognized by award voters as only Beddoes made the AHCA West Second-Team.
Even in their conference the Lakers could only manage two All-CCHA Second Team nods (garnered by Beddoes and Aldridge) but in the end the National Championship made up for any slights.
The 1993–94 Lakers became only the second National Champion to play more road games than home games during the season (1977–78 Boston University).

Anka Bergman (1917 – July 2013) was a Holocaust survivor noted for giving birth to Eva Clarke whilst in a concentration camp.
Born in 1917 in the town of Třebechovice, in present day Czech Republic, she grew up with her parents and two brothers and sisters.
Anka and Bernd were separated, and Anka was sent to Theresienstadt, which at the time was an old barracks transformed into a Nazi Ghetto.
She had a job in a provisions store to help feed the fifteen members of her extended family transported to the same ghetto.
The Gestapo forced her to sign a document that if her son was born it would be killed, but he died at two months old to pneumonia.
Upon arriving in October, she was again separated from Bernd, who would later be shot in a death march by the Nazis.
She was so malnourished upon being evacuated to the country side for the Mauthausen concentration camp, she credits a farmer who offered her a glass of milk for her survival.
During her time in these ghettos and camps, music from performers who were also captured, helped motivate people to go on.
In 1984 she started a new life with Czech RAF fighter Karel Bergman in Cardiff, Wales and would often give talks on her experiences.
The Democratic Rally of the Tahitian People remained the largest party, but lost its majority in the Assembly, winning 14 of the 30 seats.

He married in 1842 with Orsola Vianello, daughter of Giuseppe and Giuditta Venier, exponent of a noble family of the Venetian patriciate, from which he had in 1852 Cav.Giovanni Spangher (who then embarked on a brilliant career within Credito Italiano).
He transmitted the patriotic ideals to his son who was later condemned to death because he refused to fight in the Austrian army (as he considered himself an Italian citizen).
On 30 November 1848 he was elected to the first Austrian democratic parliament after the revolutions of March 1848, where he remained in office until February 1849.
He took part in the great renewal approved in parliament towards the end of 1848 which released from the point of economic view the proletarians from the noble landowners, ending to decades of infighting.
In the 1950s he started and financed the project to complete the bell tower of the church of San Rocco in Villesse.
Certain sources claim he was the son of a vicar of Lammi parish, but some claim he was descended from the Roth Family, possibly the son of Lars Hansson Roth.
In 1594, two years before the Cudgel War, Sigismund III Vasa granted Hans Larsson because of his loyalty to the King, a Osara house and five wilderness houses in Pakula, which later became Osara Manor.
Three years after the defeat of the peasant rebellion, Sigismund also gave the whole of the nineteen farmhouse village of Inkula, Viljakkala.
As the lord of the manor, Hans Larsson was the most powerful and wealthiest man in Osara village and in the whole of Hämeenkyrö.
When Duke Charles became king of Sweden in 1600, he started trials of the other party involved, against Sigismund, and Fleming's supporters.
He sought to influence the verdict by appealing to his nobility, but he did not have the necessary evidence because the Russians had burned the documents during the war of 1575-1595.
The exact date of his execution is uncertain, but he was declared dead on October 14, 1601 at the Hämeenkyrö district and his wife Kirstin is mentioned as a widow.
The Virginia depot was a military camp used last by the Bundeswehr west of Schleißheimer Straße in the Munich district of Lerchenau.
In the years between 1936 and 1940, in addition to other buildings, seven warehouses designed as bunkers with a total of about 133,000 m³ of enclosed space were erected.
During the subsequent use by the Bundeswehr, the Military District Clothing Office VI and the Munich branch of the Military District Catering Office VI were located there.
Heavy equipment from neighbouring barracks were also loaded over the tracks of the Bundeswehr tank loading station at the powder tower.
Conor Kearns (born 6 May 1998) is an Irish professional footballer who plays for League of Ireland Premier Division club, St Patrick's Athletic, having also previously spent 5 years with UCD, where he made the breakthrough to senior football.
The first leg saw his side win 2–1, while they lost 2–1 away from home in the second leg before losing 5–4 on penalties, despite Kearns saving one of Molde's penalties.
Kearns' first involement with the UCD senior team came towards the end of the 2016 season, when he was named in the matchday squad but remained as an unused substitute in 7 games.
Although he again didn't make an appearance, 2017 saw him take another step closer to the number 1 shirt, as he was second choice keeper for much of the year, remaining an unused substitute in 22 of his side's 28 league games.
He made his debut at senior level on the opening night of the 2018 League of Ireland First Division, in a 2–1 win over Dublin rivals Shelbourne.
On 14 September 2018, Kearns and his UCD side drew 1–1 with Finn Harps to win the League of Ireland First Division.
With such a young squad, coupled with the mid-season departure of many of the team's better players including Gary O'Neill, Neil Farrugia & Conor Davis, meant the side were in a relegation battle with Finn Harps for the entirety of the season.
After the match, Kearns celebrated in front of the Bohemians fans who had been booing him for what they perceived as time wasting, which Bohs captain Derek Pender confronted Kearns over his celebrations which resulted in a brawl on the pitch between both sets of players, while Kearns had bottles thrown at him from the visiting supporters who also tried to attack him as he left the pitch.
For their part in the brawl, both Kearns and Pender were sent off by referee Derek Tomney which resulted in one match bans but Kearns was given an additional 5 game ban, with Pender receiving an additional 3 games.
But, in terms of having to justify it, there’s a lot of people who have been in the situation I have been in that hasn’t had to deal with the same backlash that I have.
Kearns made a total of 33 appearances in all competitions as UCD were relegated after finishing bottom of the league with just 19 points.
On 27 November 2019, it was announced that Kearns had signed for St Patrick's Athletic, under new manager Stephen O'Donnell, joining former UCD teammate Jason McClelland who had signed a few weeks earlier.
Kearns made his debut for the Republic of Ireland U21s on 6 February 2019, playing in a friendly against Republic of Ireland Ametuers and keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 win.
He played in the 3rd/4th place playoff against Mexico U23s, replacing Caoimhín Kelleher in the 64th minute as Ireland drew 0–0 but lost 4–3 on penalties despite Kearns saving Érick Aguirre's penalty in the shootout.

As its highlight, a song is performed, alternating a cantor and the choir of the other peasants who sing a refrain.
In the 19th century, Johann André composed a new melody and chose eight of the stanzas for a version which appeared in both Protestant and Catholic hymnals, often sung in schools.
His text has stanzas three to ten of Claudius, pairing two of them to one new stanza, with a slightly modified refrain.
At the same time, the song entered official Protestant hymnals, such as an Oldenburg hymnal in 1791, and hymnals in Königsberg and Bremen in 1812.
It was included, with a musical setting of the melody by Schulz by John Bacchus Dykes, in various hymnals of different denominations.

They are one of the most feared tribes in all of Africa and are well known for their cattle herding and raiding.
Traditions remain, but guns entered the fold and have become intertwined not only in Karamajong culture, but also the culture of neighboring tribes as well.
The arms trade is responsible for this rise in guns from traditional sticks, spears, and bow & arrows; which has led to overwhelming brutality and violence all throughout Africa.
The film introduces Lokwarionga, a skilled warrior, commander, guardian, and feared raider who is part of the Karamajong ethnic people and has his fair share of violence.
However, an aged Lokwarionga is introduced not a youthful one and his many wives and children have brought out a peaceful nature to him.
Violence plagues Uganda and the Ugandan government developed an initiative to recruit Karamajong warriors, including Lokwarionga, as vigilantes to bring peace to surrounding areas.

Governments that are unsure of being re-elected may ignore the long-term consequences of fiscal deficits and use generous fiscal policy to increase their chances of re-election.

JFMG were contracted by communications regulator OFCOM to provide spectrum management and licensing services for programme making and special events (PMSE).
Licences to use this band are issued on a Shared basis which means that any frequency coordination between multiple users in or around a particular location must be done by those users themselves.
In 2013 the UK communications regulator, Ofcom, held an auction in which the UHF band from 790 MHz to 862 MHz was sold to be used for mobile broadband services.
The Interleaved (also known as White Space) UHF spectrum between 470 MHz to 606 MHz (Channels 21 - 37) and 614 MHz to 790 MHz (Channels 39 to 60) may be licensed on a Site Specific Coordinated basis.
Coordinated licences grant the holder exclusive use of particular frequencies or blocks of spectrum at a particular location for a specified period of time.
Licenses are required to use wireless microphones on vacant TV channels in the United States as they are a part of the Broadcast Auxiliary Service (BAS).
However, the FCC has issued a Report and Order stating that they now no longer allow Broadcast Auxiliary Service (BAS) devices to operate in the 698–806 MHz portion of the spectrum due to their auction of the 700 MHz band.
This change is unrelated to, but commonly confused with, the White Space device debate that is currently taking place in the U.S.
There are currently some wireless microphone manufacturers that are marketing wireless microphones for use in the United States that operate within the 944–952 MHz band reserved for studio-transmitter link communications.
These microphones have the potential to interfere with studio-transmitter links, and their use must be coordinated by the Society of Broadcast Engineers.
Licenses in this band are only available to licensees of radio and TV stations, and broadcasters are likely to report unauthorized use in this band due to the high potential for interference.
Beginning in 2017, the amount of TV band spectrum available for wireless microphone use is decreasing as a result of the incentive auction, which was completed on April 13, 2017.
A significant portion of the TV band spectrum in the 600 MHz band, including most (but not all) of the spectrum on TV channels 38-51 (614-698 MHz), has been repurposed for the new 600 MHz service band for use by wireless services, and will not continue to be available for wireless microphone use.
Specifically, wireless microphones that operate in the new 600 MHz service band (the 617-652 MHz and 663-698 MHz frequencies) will be required to cease operation no later than July 13, 2020, and may be required to cease operation sooner if they could cause interference to new wireless licensees that commence operations on their licensed spectrum in the 600 MHz service band.
FCC 14-50, FCC 15-140, DA 17-314 Spectrum will continue to be available for wireless microphone use on the other TV channels 2-36 (TV band frequencies that fall below 608 MHz), on portions of the 600 MHz guard band (the 614-616 MHz frequencies) and the 600 MHz duplex gap (the 653-663 MHz frequencies), and in various other spectrum bands outside of the TV bands.
In Australia, operation of wireless microphones of up to 100 mW EIRP between 520 MHz and 694 MHz is on unused television channels and is covered by a class license, allowing any user to operate the devices without obtaining an individual license.
The onus, however, is on the user of the wireless microphone to resolve any interference that the use of the microphone may cause to licensed radio communications services.
Some governments regard all radio frequencies as military assets and the use of unlicensed radio transmitters, even wireless microphones, may be severely punished.

The mountain's cirque name, which describes the shape of the peak, was submitted by mountaineer Karl Ricker of the Alpine Club of Canada.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.
Sigrid Damm-Rüger (born Sigrid Rüger: 1939 - 1995) was a German feminist activist who initially came to prominence in September 1968 through a tomato at the 23rd congress of the German Socialist Student Union, and subsequently became an author specialising in professional education and training.
Rüger was working for the exam not as a secondary school pupil, but at the newly opened , using the recently introduced , which was designed to open up a route to university admission for older candidates.
In or around 1962, after passing her Abitur, Rüger enrolled at the US-backed Free University (FU) in Berlin as a student of Theatre studies.
During the sit-in of 22 June 1966 it was Rüger who several times was sent by the gathering of several thousand protesting students to deliver their demands to the university senate.
The way in which she reported back to the massed ranks of protestors on the progress of negotiations within the senate were widely seen to have violated hitherto customary principals of confidentiality.
The amount of time and energy Rüger devoted to her multiple roles in student politics during this period led to her officially taking time out from her elected post as student representative.
Although the debate was seen as important in its own terms, backers were also hoping for an opportunity to find practical solutions to the challenges facing new mothers keen to be able to continue their university studies.
A report in Der Spiegel the previous year had stated that in West Germany at this time there was only one nursery place for every 23 children of working mothers: the same ratio also applied to students with children.
Rüger herself was not among the leading activists involved with the at this stage, but her leadership role within the SDS meant that she was well aware that among the SDS leaders there was a singular absence of empathy with feminist viewpoints.
As part of their promotional activities a small group of women from the met up on one side of the room at the twenty-third delegates' conference of the SDS at Frankfurt on 13 September 1968.
One of them, young and beautiful, with striking red hair, wearing a green skirt, and by this time very heavily pregnant was Sigrid Rüger.
At this point Rüger was affected by a powerful dietary craving: she had a large box filled with tomatoes on the table in front of her.
That was the context for the widely-publicised tomato throwing incident whereby Sigrid Rüger expressed displeasure over the lack of consideration given to women's issues in the discussions and activities of her fellow SDS leaders when airing their ambitions to change West German society.
Rüger threw several (according to one source, three) tomatoes in the direction of the row of male SDS, uttering an exclamation as she did it.
It later turned out that she had been aiming not at Krahl, who was gay and the complete opposite of a misogynist, but at the face of the SDS president at the time.
The attention grabbing difference on this occasion was that the thrown tomatoes came from a group of SDS women: their target was the (male) leadership circle of their own student socialist organisation.
An immediate practical result of the tomato throwing was that it prevented the men who were running the conference from letting a powerful speech from Helke Sander, in which Sander appealed for the SDS to support the women's political agenda, to be followed by the next agenda item without any discussion.
Rüger later recalled that even before the conference opened, Helke Sander's acceptance as an delegate to it had been pushed through only in the face of stiff opposition from a group of Berlin SDS men.
Instead, the twenty-third [[Sozialistischer Deutscher Studentenbund |SDS] conference with its tomato throwing incident was followed by a slow drifting apart of the Action Council from the SDS.
Many women in the [[:de:Aktionsrat zur Befreiung der Frauen|Action Council]] pressed for an organisation structure that became increasingly autonomous, un encumbered by links to any organisation where power and influence were shared between both women and men.
Two of [[West Germany]]'s most powerful weekly news magazines, [[Der Spiegel]] and [[Stern (magazine)|Stern]] reported [[Helke Sander|Sander's]] speech and Rüger's tomato throwing in some detail.
Within the student movement and across the universities sector, the tomato throwing incident galvanised awareness of the demands of the [[:de:Aktionsrat zur Befreiung der Frauen|Action Council]] among both backers and opponents.
As her tomato throwing quickly became a lasting symbol for the confident and autonomous feminist movement which emerged rapidly in West Germany during the ensuing ten years, Sigrid Rüger herself withdrew into the political background.
She became the author and / or producer of a succession of articles and monographs on [[vocational education]] and [[professional development]], with a particular emphasis on these topics as they relate to women.
While employed at the [[:de:Bundesinstitut für Berufsbildung |Federal Institute]] she also established herself as a personal counsellor and worked as an [[Volunteering|honorary (i.e.

The We Alliance was a liberal political alliance of two political parties in Armenia: the Republic Party and the Free Democrats.
The alliance was formed on 10 November 2018, leaders of both parties held a signing ceremony in Yerevan where a memorandum of cooperation was initialed.
During the election campaign, the Free Democrats advocated that Armenia should withdraw its membership from the Eurasian Union and pursue closer relations with the EU.
The Republic Party also campaigned on the platform that Armenia should withdraw from the Eurasian Union and the Collective Security Treaty Organization.
The alliance also supported the development of a Western style democracy, rule of law and a sustainable civil society in Armenia as well as developing a stronger liberal market economy.
Roth's theorem on arithmetic progressions is a result in additive combinatorics concerning the existence of arithmetic progressions in subsets of the natural numbers.
Roth's theorem on arithmetic progressions (infinite version): A subset of the natural numbers with positive upper density contains a 3-term arithmetic progression.
An alternate, more qualitative, formulation of the theorem is concerned with the maximum size of a Salem-Spencer set which is a subset of formula_3.
The first result in this direction was Van der Waerden's theorem in 1927, which states that for sufficiently large N, coloring the integers formula_8 with formula_9 colors will result in a formula_10 term arithmetic progression.
Later on in 1936 Erdős and Turán conjectured a much stronger result that any subset of the integers with positive density contains arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions.
a set with no 3-term arithmetic progressions) of size formula_11, disproving an additional conjecture of Erdős and Turán that formula_12 for some formula_13.
In 1953, Roth partially resolved the initial conjecture by proving they must contain an arithmetic progression of length 3 using Fourier analytic methods.
Given the formula_40 from step 1, we first show that it's possible to split up formula_43 into relatively large subprogressions such that the character formula_44 is roughly constant on each subprogression.
By Lemma 2, we can always continue the process whenever formula_77 and thus when the process terminates we have that formula_78 Also, note that when we pass to a subprogression, the size of our set decreases by a cube root.
An extension of this proof eluded mathematicians for decades until 1998, when Timothy Gowers developed the field of higher-order Fourier Analysis specifically to generalize the above proof to prove Szemerédi's theorem.
Then the Szemerédi regularity lemma says that for every formula_94, there exists a constant formula_95 such that every graph has an formula_86-regular partition into at most formula_95 parts.
Triangle Counting Lemma: Let formula_83 be a graph and formula_100 be subsets of the vertices of formula_83 such that formula_102 are all formula_86-regular pairs for some formula_104.
Using the triangle counting lemma and the Szemerédi regularity lemma, we can prove the triangle removal lemma, a special case of the graph removal lemma.
Triangle Removal Lemma: For all formula_104, there exists formula_13 such that any graph on formula_114 vertices with less than or equal to formula_115 triangles can be made triangle-free by removing at most formula_116 edges.
This has an interesting corollary pertaining to graphs formula_83 on formula_118 vertices where every edge of formula_83 lies in a unique triangle.
This construction is set up so that if formula_109 form a triangle, then we get elements formula_135 that all belong to formula_19.
Furstenberg and Katznelson used ergodic theory to prove a multidimensional version and Leibman and Bergelson extended it to polynomial progressions as well.
There is another conjecture of Erdős asking whether any set formula_19 such that formula_143 diverges must contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions.
Consider the finite field formula_148, and let formula_149 be the size of the largest subset of formula_148 which contains no 3-term arithmetic progression.
This problem is actually equivalent to the cap set problem, which asks for the largest subset of formula_148 such that no 3 points lie on a line.
In 1982, Brown and Buhler were the first to show that formula_152 In 1995, Roy Mesuhlam used a similar technique to the Fourier-analytic proof of Roth's theorem to show that formula_153 This bound was improved to formula_154 in 2012 by Bateman and Katz.
In 2016, Ernie Croot, Vsevolod Lev, Péter Pál Pach, Jordan Ellenberg and Dion Gijswijt developed a new technique based on the polynomial method to prove that formula_155.
Another generalization of Roth's Theorem shows that for positive density subsets, there not only exists a 3-term arithmetic progression, but that there exist many 3-APs all with the same common difference.
The popular differences theorem thus states that for each formula_24 with positive density, there is some formula_167 such that the number of 3-APs with common difference formula_167 is close to what we would expect.
This theorem was first proven by Green in 2005, who gave a bound of formula_171 where formula_172 is the tower function.
It was the only serious action in the First Bishops' War, and therefore the first serious action in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms.
It was also the first serious action fought by James Graham, 5th Earl of Montrose, an important commander in these wars.
In the 1630s, King Charles attempted to force religious reformation in Scotland, aiming to increase his control of the Scottish church through the bishops, and bring it inline with the English church.
He did, belatedly, offer to withdraw the prayer book, along with other concessions, but opposition to him had grown to such a level that the concessions were rejected, and instead the Scottish church voted to abolish bishops.
Charles opted to seek a military solution, and began the First Bishops' War, hoping that an army of over 40,000 men could be gathered from England, Scotland and Ireland, and that in the face of such a force, the Scottish would submit without engaging in battle.
After a failed offensive at Megray Hill on 15 June, James Gordon, Viscount Aboyne retreated to Aberdeen, but was split from the main body of his army: most of it was stranded on the other side of the River Dee, and between the two was James Graham, Earl of Montrose and his Covenanter army.
The Covenanters were approaching Aberdeen from the south, and in response, Aboyne posted a hundred musketeers on the bridge, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Johnstone.
On 18 June, the Covenanter army, numbering 2,000 infantry, 300 horse and artillery, reached the bridge and began their attack, primarily relying on their artillery.
Firing on the barricade all through the day had minimal impact, and Montrose observed that efforts the next day produced no further breakthrough.
The Covenanters took Aberdeen, though the city remained more sympathetic to the beaten Royalists, and many of the Covenanters proposed razing the city, which Montrose prevented.
The day after the victory, Montrose received news that the Treaty of Berwick had been agreed, ending the First Bishops' War.

Big Snow American Dream is an indoor skiing and snowboarding park within the American Dream Meadowlands shopping and entertainment complex, at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, that opened on December 5, 2019.
The original plans for the mall had included an indoor ski slope, which was advertised as the United States' first indoor Alpine ski resort.
On February 1, 2011, following a month of heavy snowfall, observers found that of the slope's eastern wall had been damaged, and a horizontal crease had formed on the wall.
Two days later, as workers tried to melt the snow on the ski slope's roof, about of the eastern wall had collapsed under the weight of the snowfall accumulation.
In 2018, Triple Five announced that the ski slope would open the following December as part of the mall's phased opening, which would take place between 2019 and 2020.
On December 5, 2019, Big Snow American Dream opened with an event attended by skiers and snowboarders such as Donna Weinbrecht, Lindsey Vonn, Red Gerard, and Ben Ferguson.

Since 2004, Brathwaite has toured over 200 colleges throughout the United States and Europe with the ill-Literacy artists collective and been a featured performer at the Los Angeles Get Down Festival.
Brathwaite is a presenter through the CalArts initiative ArtChangeUS: Arts in a Changing America and a U.S. State Department International Exchange Fellowship's OneBeat Fellow, through which he has performed for the State Department's hip-hop diplomacy program, Next Level.
The role, which placed him on Team Uzbekistan, has taken him to Guatemala, Israel, Nigeria, the Philippines, Turkey, and the Dominican Republic.
It was with his encounter with the law, having been racially profiled and brought to court, that solidified his agnosticism, and that he was no longer Christian; the experience reignited his troubled sensibility over rituals that are never explained.
Brathwaite has cited Judaism as a religion that he believes does a better job at linking historical and biblical events to religious practice.
Because meditation was an Eastern practice, and the way that I stretch probably looks like Islamic prayer to some people, and then I pray sometimes just in that Catholic form.
Fresh out of college in 2008, Brathwaite was pulled over by a police officer while driving in a case of racial profiling.
The officer found four stems of hallucinogenic mushrooms in Brathwaite's vehicle and arrested him; Brathwaite was subsequently made out to be an addict in court, even though he was not, and was placed in a court-mandated drug rehabilitation program, with the threat of a felony hanging over him if he did not comply.

Gurdwara Shaheed Bhai Taru Singh (Punjabi and ) is a Sikh temple at Naulakha Bazaar in Lahore, Pakistan, which commemorates the spot where Bhai Taru Singh was martyred.
Gurudwara is situated at the place where Bhai Taru Singh was martyred by Zakariya Khan when he had his head scalped rather than cutting his hair or converting to Islam in 1975.
After cutting Bhai Taru Singh's scalp it is said that Zakaria Khan was stricken with unbearable pain and the inability to urinate.
As a last resort, Khan sent an apology to the Khalsa Panth for his persecution of Sikhs and begged for forgiveness.
Although hitting himself with Bhai Taru Singh's shoe did cure the Khan's condition, he died 22 days later from having hit himself with the shoes, which is what Bhai Taru Singh had predicted.
Upon hearing the death of Khan and that he had outlived the Khan, Taru Singh also died on 1 July 1745.
Since 2012, the Market committee of Naulakha Bazaar led by Sohail Butt group has encroached upon more than 90% land of Gurdwara Shaheed Bhai Taru Singh by constructing a Mazar inside the Gurdwara complex and separated the Gurdwara by cloth partition leaving just 18 to 20 square yard of land out of original 600 square yard land.
On 16 July 2011, Sikhs were not allowed to pray at Gurdwara by Muslims because to holy day Shab e-Barat and the martyrdom anniversary of Bhai Taru Singh fell on the same day.

Dreams Rewired (German title: Mobilisierung der Träume) is a 2015 Austrian/German/British feature documentary/essay film that reflects on the desires and anxieties provoked by contemporary information technologies, using archival footage from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
It is notable for including several previously unseen or newly restored films, including excerpts from the recently discovered version of Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin with the original 1925 score by Edmund Meisel.
Eschewing a traditional; chronology of technological development, the film traces several trajectories through the electric information age, including that of the changing economic and cultural status of women.
The film premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2015 and had a limited theatrical release in the US and Europe.
The film is distributed on DVD by Icarus Films (North America) and absolutMEDIEN (Germany), and is available to stream via iTunes (USA and Canada) and Amazon.
The Margaret Herrick Library at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences holds a copy of the film transcript in its permanent Core Collection.

In the mathematical theory of probability, the Heyde theorem  is the characterization theorem concerning the normal distribution (the Gaussian distribution) by the symmetry of one linear form given another.
If the conditional distribution of the linear form formula_5 given formula_6 is symmetric then all random variables formula_7 have normal distributions (Gaussian distributions).
A long series of criminal investigations have occurred in Brazil associated with Operation Car Wash, since the first one began in March 2014.
Operation Car Wash () is an ongoing investigation into money laundering and political corruption in Brazil, which has been led by investigative judges, and carried out by the Federal Police.
Politicians from Brazil's largest parties, including former presidents of Brazil, presidents of the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate, and state governors are involved, as well as businessmen from large Brazilian companies.
Originally a money laundering investigation, it expanded to cover allegations of corruption at the state-controlled oil company Petrobras, where executives allegedly accepted bribes in return for awarding contracts to construction firms at inflated prices.
The investigation later spread well beyond its origins in the state of Rio de Janeiro to include systemic kickbacks in many sectors and levels of the Brazilian business world.
More than £1.4 billion was siphoned from the economy, but Global Witness says that the cost to the country is as much as 800% more.
The goal of the investigation is to ascertain the extent of a money laundering scheme, estimated to be (US$– billion), largely through embezzlement of Petrobras funds.
At least eleven other countries, mostly in Latin America, were involved, and the Brazilian companies JBS S.A. and Odebrecht were also deeply implicated.
On 14 July 2015, the Federal Police started Operation Politeia, issuing 53 search and seizure warrants at the homes of politicians involved in the Petrobras corruption scheme.
In addition to Collor search and arrest warrants were served on Senators Fernando Bezerra Coelho (PSB-PE) and (PP-PI), Federal Deputy (PP-PE), former Minister of Cities Mário Negromonte (PP-BA) and former Federal Deputy (PP-SC).
On 25 November 2015, the Federal Police arrested Senator Delcídio do Amaral for trying to impede the (rewarded collaboration) of former Petrobras director about the senator's alleged participation in irregularities in the purchase of Pasadena Refining System in the state of Texas.

Protestant Nonconformism was a prominent force in East Sussex from the 17th century onwards, and congregations associated with various Calvinistic groups and denominations developed in many places from the middle of the 18th century.
Several chapels, including Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel and Golden Cross Chapel which are still open, were founded in the Dicker area—a mostly rural area close to the present towns of Eastbourne and Hailsham (the villages of Upper Dicker and Lower Dicker are in the parishes of Arlington and Hellingly respectively).
Dicker is also the surname of a long-established family of landowners in rural East Sussex whose lineage goes back to the 13th century; it is not known whether the family gave their name to the area or vice versa.
Among them was Thomas Dicker junior (born 1723), a member of one branch of the Dicker family who had settled in nearby Buxted parish.
Over the next 11 years, attendance at these meetings grew so much that the room was no longer large enough, so services were also held at a nearby inn for a time.
It was while preaching at this inn that William Huntington, one of the most important figures in Sussex Calvinist history, first met fellow Calvinist missionary Jenkin Jenkins of Lewes, who became a close friend; later they were both associated with the founding of Jireh Chapel in Lewes, one of the largest Calvinist churches in Sussex.
In 1784, Dicker's father Thomas Dicker senior—who had also been converted to the Calvinist cause in 1773—donated some land next to his house to the congregation.
Members of the congregation who preferred the stricter doctrine broke away from Five Ash Down Chapel and formed a new church along Strict Baptist lines at a farm in Uckfield on 15 May 1785.
The first pastor at Five Ash Down Chapel, A. Dixon, left soon after this, and visiting ministers served the chapel for many years—including William Huntington on several occasions.
More land was bought adjacent to the chapel in 1840, which allowed a Sunday school to be built in about 1852.
After a period of just over 100 years during which four resident pastors had served the chapel, it was again served by visiting or lay ministers from 1962 onwards when Joseph Turner retired after a 38-year pastorate.
The chapel is registered for worship in accordance with the Places of Worship Registration Act 1855; its number on the register is 34990.
Now known as Five Ash Down Chapel, it is an Evangelical fellowship, independent of denominational links and based on Reformed ecclesiology.
Morning and afternoon services and a Sunday school are held on Sundays, and there is a prayer meeting on Thursday evenings.
Built of blue brick with red-brick quoins, it has a west-facing symmetrical façade with three bays, each topped with a gable and containing a stone lancet window.
The original building was oriented differently: what is now the side wall, facing north, was originally at the rear of the chapel.

A junctional adhesion molecule (JAM) is a protein that is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is expressed in a variety of different tissues, such as leukocytes, platelets, and epithelial and endothelial cells.
They have been shown to regulate signal complex assembly on both their cytoplasmic and extracellular domains through interaction with scaffolding that contains a PDZ domain and adjacent cell's receptors, respectively.
JAMs adhere to adjacent cells through interactions with integrins LFA-1 and Mac-1, which are contained in leukocyte β2 and α4β1, which is contained in β1.
They interact in their cytoplasmic domain with scaffold proteins that contain a PDZ domain, which are common protein interaction modules that target short amino acid sequences at the C-terminus of proteins, to form tight junctions in both epithelial and endothelial cells as polarity is gained in the cell.
Based on crystallographic studies conducted with recombinant extracellular mouse JAMs (rsJAM) and human JAMs (hJAM), it has been shown that JAM consists of immunoglobulin-like V-set domain followed by a second immunoglobulin domain that are linked together by a short linker sequence.
The linker makes extensive hydrogen bonds to both domains, and the side chain of one of the main linker residues, Leu128, is commonly embedded in a hydrophobic cleft between each immunoglobulin-like domain.
It commonly consists of Arg58-Val59-Glu60 located on the N-terminus and can dissociate into monomers based on the conditions of the solution it is exposed to.
This motif has been shown to be present in many common variants of JAMs, including rsJAM, hJAM, JAM-1, JAM-2, and JAM-3.
JAM-1 was the first of the junctional adhesion molecules to be discovered and is located in the tight junctions of both epithelial and endothelial cells.
It can also interact with receptors as a heterophilic structure by acting as a ligand for LFA-1 and facilitating leukocyte transmigration.
JAM-2 localization is moderated by serine phosphorylation at tight junctions as the molecule adheres to other tight junction proteins like PAR-3 and ZO-1.
JAM-2 has also shown to act as a ligand for many immune cells and plays a role in lymphocyte attraction to specific organs.
JAM-3 functions similarly to JAM-2 as it is localized around the tight junctions of epithelial and endothelial cells, but has been shown to be unable to adhere to leukocytes in the manner that other JAMs can.
JAMs play a critical role in the regulation of cell movement in multiple different cell types, such as epithelial, endothelial, leukocyte, and germ cells.
JAM-1 has been shown to be able to cause cell adhesion, spreading and movement along β1 ligands like collagen IV and fibronectin.
Vitronectin is a ligand for integrins αvβ3 and αvβ5, which exhibit selective cooperativity with bFGF and VEGF in the activation of the MAPK pathway.
JAM-1 and JAM-3 allow leukocytes to migrate into connective tissue by freeing polymorphonuclear leukocytes from entrapment in endothelial cells and basement membranes.
In the absence of JAM-1, these leukocytes cannot moderate β1 integrin endocytosis and cannot be effective expressed on the surface of the cell, which is essential for motility.
PAR-3 is a significant factor in a cell's polarity-regulating complex and regulates polarity in different cell types in many different organisms.
All components of the PAR complex are required for tight junction formation between cells, but premature adherens junctions can form without PAR complex components being present.
In order to preserve homeostasis of adult tissue, aged cells must be replaced with new cells at varying frequency, depending on the organ.
In JAM-1 deficient mice it has been found that the amount of proliferating cells in the colon greatly increased due to the increased proliferation of TA cells.
Recent studies have also pointed to JAM-1 to be ability to preserve structural integrity of tissues more so than regulating cell number.
The role of JAM-1 in tight junction biology is to function through mediation partly due to the localization of the Par-αPKC complex at adherens junctions during junction creation.
JAM-3 has been shown to be a primary regulator of the development of spermatids as well as the rest of the male reproductive system.
Within the Sertoli cells of the male reproductive system, JAM-3 interacts with JAM-2 to influence the polarity of both round and elongated spermatids.
Studies have also shown that inactivation of JAM-3 has been shown to significantly impede fertility by blocking male germ cell development and proliferation.

The Green Silk Road Fund (abbreviated GSRF) is an investment fund led by Chinese private entrepreneurs to support projects in China and along the countries of the Belt and Road Initiative.
It is unique among Belt and Road Initiative investment funds as private sector support is the predominant driver rather than Chinese policy banks and foreign exchange reserves.
A driving force behind the investment fund is Wang Wenbiao, Chairman of the Elion Group, a firm implementing anti-desertification through methods including developing drought-resistant seeds for agricultural plants like licorice.
He has sought to export his anti-desertification business to other countries, and has a track record of acquisitions of buying small and medium-sized enterprises internationally to expand his business.
In addition to Elion Group, other firms contributing capital to the fund are China Oceanwide, Chint Group, Huiyuan Juice, Macrolink, JuneYao, Ping’an Bank and Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city.
The 1924 United States presidential election in Indiana took place on November 4, 1924, as part of the 1924 United States Presidential Election which was held throughout all contemporary 48 states.
Indiana voted for the Republican nominee, incumbent President Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, over the Democratic nominee, Ambassador John W. Davis of West Virginia.
Coolidge ran with former Budget Director Charles G. Dawes of Illinois, while Davis ran with Governor Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska.
Also in the running that year was the Progressive Party nominee, Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin and his running mate Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana.
However, owing to Indiana’s strong Southern and Yankee leanings, the conservatism of its German Catholic counties, and the dominance of the Ku Klux Klan, the state was one of La Follette’s weakest nationally.
Coolidge won the state by a margin of 16.56%; however, Indiana was easily Davis’ strongest antebellum free state, voting around 9 points more Democratic than the nation at-large.

Faxén also reported on the liberation of Algeria, including the Algiers putsch in which French generals tried to take power over what was then a large French province in North Africa.
Faxén was then correspondent in Washington, D.C. from 1971 to 1973 where, in addition to covering the 1972 presidential election, he also had to report on the first incidents in the Watergate scandal, which later led to the resignation of President Nixon.
During its first three years as an independent company, SVT had a slightly reluctant CEO who struggled with willful TV channel management and a sometimes partially unsympathetic board of directors.
All at a time when new challenges such as competition from satellite TV, cable TV, home video devices and other things started to emerge.
In the spring of 1981, Faxén had had enough and in connection with a conference in Ronneby, he announced to SVT's first chairman Lennart Sandgren that he did not want to extend his three-year contract as CEO.
Shortly afterwards he received a call from the then Foreign Minister Ola Ullsten, who wondered if Faxén wanted to become a press officer at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
Faxén then had special assignments at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs with a position as ambassador from 1992, including West Africa (Niamey and Dakar from 1992, Conakry and Nouakchott from 1993 and Bamako from 1994).

A first prototype flew in 1989, and while the joint venture company Euro-ENAER was set up to build the aircraft in the Netherlands as the Euro-Enaer Eaglet, these plans failed when Euro-ENAER went bankrupt in 2002.
The Chilean Air Force established an aircraft manufacturing arm, IndAer, in 1980, which began by assembling Piper PA-28 Dakotas and building the ENAER T-35 Pillán military light trainer, which was developed by Piper for manufacture in Chile.
In 1986, ENAER began work on its first entirely indigenous aircraft, a two-seat, single-engined light aircraft suitable for use by flying clubs as a training aircraft.
It was of all-composite construction, with most of the structure made of glassfibre and polyurethane sandwich material, while the wing spars were made of a mixture of glassfibre and carbon fibre.
The first prototype made its maiden flight in April 1989, with three more prototypes following, one of which crashed on 11 February 1992 following a bird strike, killing the pilot.
After attempts to interest the Chilean Air Force in the Ñamcú failed, ENAER set up Euro-ENAER, a joint venture with the Delft University of Technology and Dutch investors, to certify the aircraft as airworthy in the Netherlands under European regulations, with ENAER hoping to sell 50 aircraft per year, at a price which had now increased to US$100,000 an aircraft.
By 1998, it was planned to assemble a modified version of the aircraft, powered by a Textron Lycoming O-320-D2A engine, in a new factory in the Netherlands.
In early 1999, Euro-ENAER was blaming poor weather and difficulties with the Joint Aviation Authorities for delays in certification for the Eaglet, whose unit price had now reached US$160,000, although the company was now forecasting annual sales of 50 per year in Europe and 200 a year in America.

The 2020 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship is the 133rd edition of the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament since its establishment in 1887.
The qualifiers stage will be shortened to accommodate the introduction of the second-tier championship, for Division 3 and 4 National Football League teams who fail to reach their provincial finals or get promoted to Division 2 of the league.
Some of the teams who lose a match in their provincial championship enter the All-Ireland qualifiers – New York does not enter the qualifiers.
If the score is level at the end of the normal seventy minutes, two periods of ten minutes each way are played.
Approximately 12 teams qualify for the All-Ireland qualifiers, with the exact figure dependent on results in the year's leagues and provincial championships.
Teams who failed to win their provincial championship and played in divisions 1 and 2 in this year's league enter the qualifiers, with the exception of the two teams relegated from division 2, whose place is taken by the two promoted teams from division 3.
Eight teams play in round 1 of the qualifiers, with a preliminary round to feature if the number of teams who have qualified exceeds that figure.
Significant changes to the format of the All-Ireland championship were made at the GAA's Annual Congress in February 2017 and introduced in 2018.
If the score is level at the end of the normal seventy minutes in a semi-final, two periods of ten minutes each way are played.
Division 3 and 4 teams who fail to reach their provincial final compete in the newly-created Tier 2 competition instead of the qualifiers.
The qualifiers consist of a possible preliminary round to reduce the number of teams to eight and then two rounds of four matches each (previously there were four rounds).
The referee will award a mark when a player catches the ball cleanly on or inside a 45m line from a kick in play delivered by an attacking player on or beyond the opposition's 45m line that travels at least 20m and without it touching the ground.
The catching player must signal to the referee his intent to stop and take the mark, or else he can continue to play on as per usual.

Knott's Bear-y Tales: Return To The Fair is a 4D themed family interactive dark ride under construction at Knott's Berry Farm theme park in Buena Park, California.
The interactive dark ride will see riders join Boysenbear and Girlsenbear travel to the County Fair and pass through several scenes which are reminiscent of the original dark ride.
Designed by Triotech in conjunction with Knott's Berry Farm's creative team, the attraction is scheduled to open to the public on May 15, 2020 as part of Knott's Berry Farm 100th anniversary.
It will become the third release in the Amusement Dark collection, a branded initiative to construct a variety of video-game-based dark rides at Cedar Fair amusement parks.
Easter eggs and the catchy theme park song will return as confirmed by Ken Parks who is vice president of entertainment at Knott's Berry Farm.
Since the closure of Knott's Bear-y Tales in 1987, park fans have been wanting for the ride to return back to the theme park in its former glory.
Knott's Bear-y Tales became a fan favorite ride due to its originality, storyline, family friendly ride atmosphere as well as the famous boysenberry smell and catchy theme song played throughout the attraction.
The ride was initially popular with park visitors but later became disliked by most fans due to the background story and overall ride experience.
Knott's Berry Farm consulted with Triotech on the possible revival of Knott's Bear-y Tales using the same ride system and layout.
Moreover, Knott's saw this as a win- win case since the park could bring back one of its most beloved and iconic rides in 2020 as part of the 100th anniversary.
On November 19, 2019, Knott's Berry Farm and Triotech established a joint announcement where the park will bring back Knott's Bear-y Tales as a nostalgic return to Knott's fan in a 4D ride experience.
During the joint announcement, Knott's Berry Farm and Triotech announced Knott’s Bear-y Tales: Return to the Fair will include more practical and scenery and physical sets than Voyage to the Iron Reef.

Strand became a member of the Norwegian Entomological Society in 1920, and he is one of the leading figures in Norwegian entomology.
Helliesen was particularly interested in beetles (Coleoptera) and had a large collection from Rogaland, and he recommended that Strand start collecting beetles.
Strand had no formal education in zoology (or entomology), and he said that this was a conscious choice, reckoning that a full-time entomologist had to deal with a lot of paperwork.
Strand also took many trips abroad as part of his work in the Telegraph Service, but he did not collect beetles from abroad; he stated that his interest was limited to Nordic species.
This collection was later left to Lund University, which already had a large collection of ground beetles collected by Carl H. Lindroth.

Amoako Atta I, (born Kwasi Panin; 1853– 2 February 1887), was the paramount chief of Akyem Abuakwa in nineteenth century southern Ghana.
This development led to a clash between the old traditional Akan culture and the imposition of the new Western Christian political order.
Born in Akyem Abuakwa capital, Kyebi in 1853, the young royal was had his early education at the Kyebi Basel Mission Primary School.
He was an allied soldier in the Sagrenti Anglo-Ashanti War in 1874, fighting for the interests of British, led by Major-General Garnet Wolseley.
He instructed one of his sub-chiefs, Nana Ampaw, divisional monarch of Kukurantumi in northeastern Kyebi to provide a parcel of stool land between Kukurantumi and Ejisu to the colonial government for the resettlement of the Juaben refugees who named their new home, New Juaben with their administrative capital at Koforidua.
During his reign, Amoako Atta I was accommodating to the Basel missionaries operating in his kingdom, as they had been his tutors a few years prior.
In the second half of 1868, missionary activity focusing on freeing palace-owned slaves resulted in rising political strain between the chief and Basel missionaries.
As slaves became liberated, baptised and educated, Amoako Atta felt that his authority was being undermined by the Basel Mission, as new Christians lived in their own quarters called Salem..
Furthermore, Amoako Atta I, his sister, Kyerewaa and, the Okyehene’s mother, Ampofoaa, other royal courtiers and traditional state functionaries opposed conversion of domestic slaves to Christianity and the abolition of local slavery as they viewed the practice as a wealth generator for influence peddling.
The Basel-trained missionary and Akan linguist, David Asante was the cousin of Amoako Atta and lived in Kyebi as the resident minister.
He disagreed vehemently with his relations and preached the egalitarian ideals of freedom and justice which diluted the social hierarchy of African traditional authority.
By mid-1875, this anti-slavery campaign had led to the liberation of 100 to 200 slaves by David Asante and other Basel missionaries.
The exiled Okyehene returned to the Gold Coast on 8 January 1885 and was re-enstooled as chief by popular acclaim of his subjects.
The natives blamed the catechist of the Kyebi Basel Mission Church, Joseph Bosompem for the pilfering, which culminated in clashes between traditionalists and Christians.
In January 1887, the colonial government summoned Amoako Atta to a commission of enquiry set up in Accra to investigate the skirmishes.
He thus helped his team to a fourth-place finish, their highest-ever position in the top flight, while earning a spot in UEFA competitions for the first time in history.

Henry Mobsby (1860–1933) was a British/Australian artist and photographer, who helped film some of the earliest motion pictures produced in Australia.
Henry William Mobsby (1860-1933) was born on 17 August 1860 in Hove, Sussex, England the son of William Mobsby, a watchman, and his wife Sarah.
He received training in art, design, chemistry and commercial practice at the South Kensington School of Arts, London and the School of Arts, Brighton.
He was appointed an artist and photographer with the Department of Agriculture and Stock in 1897 and the Chief Secretary’s Department and the Intelligence and Tourist Bureau in 1907.
He became an assistant to Frederick Wills in 1899, who had been charged by the Queensland government to make an early form of motion picture, a cinematograph, celebrating the state’s primary industries and resources.
Within six months Wills and Mobsby had produced thirty 1 minute films of excursions they took around Queensland, the Torres Straits, and topical events such as the Boer War departure of Queensland troops.
Mobsby took over as official artist and photographer for the Department of Agriculture in 1904 and continued in this role until 1930.
The Mobsby Memorial medal was created in his son’s name and awarded to Year 8 students at Indooroopilly State School from 1916-1950.
Two boxes of his papers, photographs and other materials are held in the University of Queensland Fryer Library and his albums have been digitised.
The key observation is noting that these Ramsey-type theorems can be expressed as the assertion that a certain category (or class of finite structures) has the Ramsey property (defined below).
Structural Ramsey theory began in the 1970s with the work of Nešetřil and Rödl, and is intimately connected to Fraïssé theory.
It received some renewed interest in the mid-2000s due to the discovery of the Kechris–Pestov–Todorčević correspondence, which connected structural Ramsey theory to topological dynamics.
is given credit for inventing the idea of a Ramsey property in the early 70s, and the first publication of this idea appears to be Graham, Leeb and Rothschild's 1972 paper on the subject.
Key development of these ideas was done by Nešetřil and Rödl in their series of 1977 and 1983 papers, including the famous Nešetřil–Rödl theorem.
This article will use the set theory convention that each natural number formula_1 can be considered as the set of all natural numbers less than it: i.e.
This can be represented as a function formula_8 mapping each element to its label in formula_9 (which this article will use), or equivalently as a partition of formula_10 into formula_4 pieces.
What types of structures are allowed depends on the theorem in question, and this turns out to be virtually the only difference between them.
There is also a notion of a dual Ramsey property; formula_81 has the dual Ramsey property if its dual category formula_104 has the Ramsey property as above.
In 2005, Kechris, Pestov and Todorčević discovered the following correspondence (hereafter called the KPT correspondence) between structural Ramsey theory, Fraïssé theory, and ideas from topological dynamics.
For a Fraïssé structure formula_148, its automorphism group formula_149 can be considered a topological group, given the topology of pointwise convergence, or equivalently, the subspace topology induced on formula_149 by the space formula_151 with the product topology.

Janegale M. Boyd is a Democratic politician who served as a member of the Florida House of Representatives from 1996 to 2000.
Boyd moved to Tallhassee in 1972 with her husband, where she attended Tallahassee Community College, graduating with her associate's degree in nursing in 1975.
When State Representative Allen Boyd opted to successfully run for Congress rather than seek re-election, Janegale Boyd, his sister-in-law, ran to succeed him in the 10th District, which stretched from Apalachicola to the Tallahssee suburbs and down into North Central Florida.
Boyd ended up defeating Blue in a landslide, winning 67% of the vote to his 33%, and winning sizable majorities in all of the district's counties.
In 2000, when incumbent State Senator Pat Thomas was unable to run for re-election due to term limits, Boyd ran to succeed him in the 3rd District, which included Bay, Calhoun, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Jackson, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty, Madison, and Wakulla Counties.
She faced fellow State Representative Al Lawson, former Leon County Sheriff Eddie Boone, and Dean J. Fenn in the Democratic primary.
Given the sizable African-American electorate in the district, most observers assumed that Lawson would be able to secure a spot in the primary runoff based on his support from black voters, leaving Boone and Boyd to fight for the second spot in the runoff.
Florida Consumer Advocates, an association of the state's trial lawyers, backed Boone and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars attacking Boyd for her votes in favor of limiting public access to wetlands, selling drivers license information to private companies, and allowing holders of out-of-state concealed-carry permits to bring their weapons into the state.
As expected, Lawson placed first in the primary, receiving 39% of the vote, and advanced to the runoff, where he was joined by Boyd, who edged out Boone for second place, 31–23%.
In the runoff, the trial lawyers continued to air advertisements against her, including a new advertisement that attacked her 1999 vote in favor of tort reform.
Boyd condemned the advertisement as inaccurate, arguing that the group was blaming her for the Firestone accidents and that she cast her vote based on the best information she had at the time.
Boyd, in turn, attacked Lawson for his vote against legislation that required mandatory sentences for criminals who used guns during crimes.
Lawson, along with many other members of the legislature's black caucus, had voted against the legislation out of worries it would be disproportionately used against African-American offenders.
Ultimately, despite the perceived closeness of the race and despite overwhelmingly outspending Lawson, Boyd lost the runoff to Lawson in a landslide, winning just 41% of the vote to his 59%.
While Boyd won the counties that made up her State House district by wide margins, Lawson racked up larger margins in Gadsden County and Leon County, which ultimately allowed him to easily win.
After leaving the legislature, Boyd became the President and CEO of the Florida Association of Homes and Services for the Aging.
When he goes to collect hus prize, he faces hurdles from those who try to steal the lottery from him due to his age.

The Battle of San Salvador (1641) was an expedition launched by the Dutch and their aboriginal allies in Taiwan against the Spanish in 1641.
As Chinese merchants brought news of the Spanish withdrawal to the Dutch, telling them that the Spanish intended to abandon Formosa altogether and were merely waiting for permission from the king.
The Dutch were growing interested in northern Taiwan because they had heard reports of gold mines in the northeast and felt they could not go prospecting until the Spanish had been removed.
In August 1641, a Dutch expedition sailed to the Bay of Jilong to study the Spaniards' situation and, if possible, capture San Salvador.
Later, even though the Dutch outnumbered the Spanish and had the support of hundreds of aborigines, the Dutch commander realized he did not have enough cannons to mount a proper siege.
Not long afterward, emissaries from Danshui went to the Dutch headquarters in Zeelandia and, according to Dutch sources, officially handed over their lands to the Dutch, in the same manner that the villages of the southwestern plains had done in the 1630s.
Without help from Manila, the Spanish had little means of withstanding a Dutch attack, which is exactly what happened in the Second Battle of San Salvador.
Moreover, by burning Kimaurri and mocking the Spanish beneath their very fortress, the Dutch had denigrated the Spaniards' military reputation, an attribute most necessary in the warlike world of seventeenth-century Formosa.

Qarachar Noyan (1166 – 1243/44 or 1255/56), also spelt Karachar, was a Mongol military commander under Genghis Khan as well as a paternal ancestor of Timur, founder of the Timurid Empire.
Though there is little mention of him in early sources, where he is only described as a military official, the link Qarachar provided between the old Mongol Empire and the Timurid dynasty was paramount to the latter's foundational history.
His role and that of his relations were thus heavily expanded and potentially mythologised by Timurid court historians, who portrayed him as a hereditary supreme commander and administrator endowed with a unique intimacy with the ruling clan.
This disparity in information results in the actual details regarding his life and position becoming matters of dispute among modern academics.
Having belonged to the Mongol Barlas tribe, the two acted as one of the delegations representing the group at the event.
According to the thirteenth century historian Juvayni, Qarachar later had a base in Taloqan from which, in 1222, he marched on Merv to suppress a rebellion.
By 1227, he and his contingent had been assigned to the retinue of Khan's second son Chagatai, a transfer which is also mentioned in the works of Rashid-al-Din Hamadani.
In such works, his ancestry (which is never clarified in earlier accounts) is said to link to that of Genghis Khan.
His paternal grandfather was stated to be Erdemchu Barlas, son of Qachuli, himself a son of Tumanay Khan, Genghis Khan's great-great-grandfather.
Qarachar's father Suqu Sechen was depicted as having been a trusted advisor of Yesugei, Genghis Khan's father, having been present at the latter's birth and foretelling the infant's future greatness.
There, after having received their homage, he praised the wisdom of the latter and urged his sons to follow his council and commands.
Genghis Khan then ordered the division of his empire among his progeny, bestowing to his second son Chagatai the lands of Transoxiana, which would later become the Chagatai Khanate.
In continuation of a covenant made between their respective great-grandfathers Qachuli and Qabul, he commended this son to Qarachar's care, who was also entrusted with the administration and armies to manage on his behalf.
Yazdi records that Qarachar subsequently occupied a prominent position in the Chagatai court, performing the actual duties of ruling while the Khan revelled and hunted.
This arrangement is mentioned by other Timurid historians such as Hafiz-i Abru, who states that as generalissimo, he undertook matters of law, rule and custom.
Conversely, Yazdi narrates that he had outlived the Khan by thirteen years, dying in 652 AH (1255/56 CE) at the advanced age of eighty-nine.
Depending on the source, he may have had up to nineteen sons, with his descendants forming seven of the Barlas clans of Turkistan and Transoxiana.
The first historian to question the narratives presented by Timurid histories was Constantine d'Ohsson in 1834, who stated that they were falsified, with the character of Qarachar being an invention due to an apparent lack of mention in the works of Rashid-al-Din Hamadani.
However, he was only described as being one of Chagatai's military chiefs as opposed to an all-powerful vizier, leading to an implication that his position and exploits had been greatly exaggerated.
This is a view shared by Yuri Bregel, who adds that there is no evidence that Qarachar enjoyed any special power.
Togan also states that the general importance of the Barlas among the Chagatai tribes was proved by the influential marriages made by Timur and his sisters prior to the former's ascension.
Such influence, she states, would have led to marriages between the imperial clan and the Barlas, of which there is no evidence of from the time of Qarachar to Timur.
In relation to this, Eiji Mano adds that while he believes that the tribe had a shared origin with Genghis Khan, by Timur's time the Barlas had become relatively unimportant.
John E. Woods extensively discussed the matter of Timur's ancestry, including Qarachar, and stated his belief that the conqueror had manipulated his genealogy for political means.
Woods relates that as a non-member of the imperial clan, Mongol law dictated that Timur was unable to rule under his own name, instead being forced to make use of a puppet-Chagatai Khan.
To justify his own paramountcy being more legitimate, Woods argues that Timur used the genealogical traditions of Qarachar to suggest that he had a hereditary right to govern the khanate.
These corps, which combined the roles of an elite military division, imperial bodyguards and supervisors of the imperial household, were a central institution for the Mongols, under whom the leadership was hereditary.
She therefore believes that the contingent of Qarachar which had been assigned to Chagatai by Genghis Khan, unspecified in Mongol histories, would have been this division.
She further states that since members of the corps were traditionally given administrative roles, this would tie in with the influence in government attributed to Qarachar.

Royal American Shows (RAS) was a leading American traveling carnival company that operated from the 1920s to the 1990s in the United States and, until the 1970s, in Canada.
Sedlmayr was born in Falls City, Nebraska, of German ancestry, and after his father died in 1897 was sent to live with relatives in Kansas City, Missouri.
In 1924 he began running the company in partnership with two brothers, Curtis J. Velare (1880–1970) and Elmer C. Velare (1884–1947), who specialized in operating and running mechanical fairground rides.
The business expanded rapidly through the 1920s and 1930s as Sedlmayr signed lucrative contracts with state fairs and festivals throughout the Midwest, Southern United States, and western Canada.
In 1938, when employees at the Barnum & Bailey Circus went on strike, RAS were able to expand further into spaces left vacant by the circus, but during World War II, restrictions on rail use meant that the company was unable to travel to Canada.
Sedlmayr then owned and operated the Rubin & Cherry shows for two years in partnership with Sam Soloman, before relaunching Royal American Shows as the company's sole owner in the mid-1940s.
The fairground rides embraced new technology that had been developed in World War II, and included four Ferris wheels placed side by side.
After Carl J. Sedlmayr Sr. died in 1965, the business was run by his son Carl J. Sedlmayr Jr. (1919–2001) and grandson Carl J. Sedlmayr III (1945–1991).
The increasing cost of rail transport affected the finances of the company, and in 1975 the company was accused of tax evasion and fraud by the Canadian authorities.
Sedlmayr Jr. vowed never to return to Canada, and many of the company's properties remained in storage there until the 1990s.

The Saignelégier–Glovelier railway is a railway built and operated by the Régional Saignelégier–Glovelier (RSG) company as a standard-gauge railway from Saignelégier to Glovelier in Switzerland.
In 1944, the railway was merged to form the Chemins de fer du Jura (CJ), which converted the line to metre gauge and electrified it at 1500 Volt DC.
The main lines, which were formed quite early in the Jura were built primarily to connect to France and did not serve the Franches-Montagnes.
Operations were in deficit several times up to 1918 and almost continuously in deficit from 1918 to 1944, causing the railway facilities to become run down.
To simplify operations of the railway was then converted to metre gauge and was operated from 4 October 1953 as a metre-gauge railway with 1500 V DC and new rolling stock.

After the exit from Saignelégier station the line runs down a gentle slope to Le Bémont and on to the halt of Pré-Petitjean (formerly Montfaucon), where the depot of the La Traction heritage railway is located.
The line runs on a 2.5% slope past the small lake of Plain de Saigne to the halt of La Combe (formerly Lajoux station).
Running along the rocky abyss of Combe-Tabeillon, the line passes through several short tunnels and the former halts of Sceut and Le Fondeval (formerly Saint-Brais).
The line takes a long right turn to reach the local station, where it is possible to transfer to SBB services to continue to Delémont or Porrentruy.

Since the 1950s the organization started to accumulate a huge fortune, in fact, Pio Vittorio was considered one of the richest cigarette smugglers of Naples in the time, at its heyday the cigarette traffic alone gave to the Giuliano clan over 200 million lire a week.
The Giuliano family was widely known for their luxury lifestyle, family members were always seen in the company of influential people in trendy nightclubs.
In the 1980s, photos of the former football player Diego Maradona posing with some of the sons of Pio Vittorio inside a huge shell-shaped bathtub with golden taps in one of the villas of the Giuliano family made the international newspaper headlines.
The Giuliano clan had been in good terms with the Nuova Camorra Organizzata, headed by Raffaele Cutolo until the first half of 1979, but the two organizations then broke out into conflict.
Cutolo demanded to receive a cut from the Giuliano's illegal gambling centres and lottery system in his power base of Portici.
The breaking point was reached when the NCO tried to expand their territories into the Giuliano's stronghold of Forcella, Piazza Mercato and Via Duomo, in the centre of Naples.
The clash, which had occurred in a period of growing tension between the historic Camorra clans and the newly created NCO, led to the formation of the Nuova Famiglia, consisting particularly of the Giuliano clan, the Zaza clan, then headed by Michele Zaza, the Nuvoletta clan and the Casalesi clan, headed at the time by Antonio Bardellino.
After the defeat of Cutolo, the leaders of the Nuova Famiglia achieved absolute dominance over all criminal rackets in the city of Naples.
However, he was arrested in early 2000 and was succeeded by his sister, Erminia Giuliano Erminia became the boss because the only direct male heir to the family business still unimprisoned was deemed inept.
She was ranked as one of Italy's 30 most dangerous criminals, and eventually arrested on December 23, 2000, after being a fugitive for over 10 months.
In September 2002, Luigi Giuliano decided to collaborate with the Italian authorities and became a government witness, giving another hard blow to his organization.
Despite the marriage, in 1996, between Marianna Giuliano, daughter of Luigi, with Michele Mazzarella, son of Vincenzo Mazzarella, one of the bosses of the Mazzarella clan, the two organizations have always been rivals, which culminated in several episodes of violence in the 2000s.
Following the arrests and subsequent disassociation of most of the historical leaders of the Giuliano clan in the 2000s, the Mazzarella clan, taking advantage of the power vacuum left, begin to expand their territories to the centre of the city, which, in the 2010s, leads to a war between the third generation of the Giuliano family, those left, and the Mazzarellas.
After years at war, in 2015 the Italian justice delt a big blow against the Paranza dei bambini, arresting virtually the entire group.
By 2019, the group Giuliano-Amirante-Sibillo, known as Paranza dei bambini, due to the young age of its affiliates, is still active, but strongly weakened.

French-Soviet Joint Declaration of June 30, 1966 is an important agreement on a range of cooperation between the Soviet Union and France, signed in Moscow at the same date by President of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR Nikolai Podgorny and President of the French Republic Charles de Gaulle, which resumed with the Russian Federation since then.
On June 30, 1966, on a trip in Moscow of President of France Charles de Gaulle and Minister of Foreign Affairs Maurice Couve de Murville, France and the Soviet Union signed a joint declaration of cooperation on foreign affairs, science, and technology.
The trip and the signing of the treaty had both a high symbolical value and dramatic implications with respect to the situation and stance of France in the Western World during the Cold War, and to the then ongoing yet still inchoate building of the European Union.
Indeed, De Gaulle moved swiftly, as three months later only, in June 1959, he prohibited NATO nuclear weapons from being stationed in France.
De Gaulle sought to make France independent of the United States and the United Kingdom's influence and to possess the ability to conduct autonomous negotiations with the USSR should the East Germans move into West Germany.
The remark was in response to the American Secretary of State Dean Rusk, when he warned France that American nuclear weapons would be pointed at France if they performed a nuclear strike beyond the agreed plans.
In March 1966, De Gaulle removed all French armed forces from NATO control and told the United States (and other NATO military members) to leave France.
The French forces in Germany remained stationed in Germany until 1993, but in the context of a French-German military cooperation agreement.
The most worrying news was Golitsyn’s firsthand information pointing to the existence of a KGB spy among De Gaulle’s closest, most trusted advisers”.
An official who then appeared to be a member of De Gaulle’s cabinet, and who had ministerial or near-ministerial rank in 1944 in De Gaulle’s first government, had been identified in KGB discussions as a KGB agent.
A network with the code name ʻSapphire,ʼ consisting of more than half a dozen French intelligence officers, all of whom had been recruited by the KGB, was operating inside the SDECE itself.
A new section for collecting scientific intelligence had been or was being created inside the SDECE, with the specific mission of spying out U.S. nuclear and other technological advances, eventually in the Soviet interest”.
In in 1963, SDECE’s Chief of Station in Washington D.C. Philippe Thyraud de Vosjoli reported spontaneously to the CIA that his hierarchy in Paris asked to him to organize a clandestine intelligence ring in the United States, with the specific purpose to collecting information about U.S. military installations and scientific researches.
What furthermore troubled Thyraud de Vosjoli is that, in their details, the objectives he was asked to spy on matched exactly a scheme that Golitsyn had revealed to his French interrogators months earlier.
Below is a translation of the major points of the French-Soviet Joint Declaration of June 30, 1966, concerning European affairs, the Vietnam War, and the sharing of technology and scientific researches including high physics and atomic energy.
Those problems obviously are of paramount importance to France and to the Soviet Union since it is from their solving that the establishment in the whole continent of a normal situation depends on, and, consequently, of a real and stable peace.
To them, the concerns are above all about the European security and the German question, on which the two parties exchanged their views.
They believe that the States of the continent must devote their efforts to the creation of conditions necessary for the agreements to be concluded, and to the establishment of a climate of detente between all the countries in particular, in the East as in the West.
Such climate would actually encourage closer relations between the latter, and the examination and settlement of the problems that arise, consequently.
To France and to the Soviet Union alike, the first objective is, in this spirit, the normalization, and then the gradual development of the relations between all European countries in the respect of the independence of each, and of non-intervention in their domestic affairs.
It was noted with satisfaction on both sides that significant progresses have been made already towards the normalization of the situation in Europe.
The latter effort must be pursued with the intention to paving the way for fruitful cooperation over Europe from all parties.
The two countries note with satisfaction that, in recent years, important progresses have been made, which are the results of De Gaulle’s trip to Moscow and the talks he had on this occasion with the Soviet leaders.
The situation in the Indochinese Peninsula was found to be increasingly worrying, due to the worsening of the war in Vietnam that is multiplying suffering and chaos in this country, and is dragging the neighboring states, Cambodia and Laos, into precariousness.
The French Government and the Soviet Government continue to believe that the only possible solution to such a situation, which poses a threat to the cause of peace, is a settlement based on the 1945 Geneva Agreements excluding any foreign intervention in Vietnam.
As for the French-Soviet scientific relations, it was found that contacts between French and Soviet scientists and researchers have become numerous and fruitful [sic].
The conversations have shown the good results already obtained in the framework of the cooperation between France and the USSR for the pacific use of atomic energy.
The French Government and the Soviet Government attach great importance to these two agreements, which will increase trade and develop cooperation between the two countries in science and technology, particularly in the most advanced fields.
It was decided on both sides to conclude a consular convention between France and the Soviet Union and to exchange negotiations for that purpose very soon.
The two governments will endeavor to concert their efforts in the interests of peace and security in Europe and in the World.
Additionally, the consultations will relate to bilateral relations, taking into account the will of the two parties to develop friendly relations and further cooperation between France and the USSR.
In order to reinforce mutual contact at the highest level, France and the Soviet Union have decided to establish a direct line of communication between the Kremlin and the Élysée, which can be used for exchanges of views and the sending of messages whenever it appears necessary.
De Gaulle invited to visit France the official Soviet leaders with whom he had talks, Mr. L. I. Brejnev, Mr. A. N. Kossyguine, and Mr. N. V. Podgorny.
The latter gratefully accepted the invitation on behalf of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR and the Soviet Government.
The visit of De Gaulle to the USSR and the talks to which it gave rise constitute a vital contribution to the development of the understanding between France and the Soviet Union, and between the French people and the Soviet people.
Thus way, the joint efforts will contribute to a renewed feeling of confidence in the traditional role of Europe as bedrock of civilization, and in common interests in the progress of peace throughout the World.
The validity of the agreement between France and the Soviet Union survived the fall of the Soviet Union, and its terms resumed with the Russian Federation since then.
In particular, it gave birth from the inception to a close and uninterrupted cooperation between the two countries in aeronautics and space, and to regular exchanges of engineers and scientists for the development of a large range of technologies.
In 1968, France had made operational her Guiana Space Center in Kourou, in French Guiana, South America, from which she began to launch satellites with Ariane (rocket family) rocket launchers.
In 2019, the Guiana Space Center of Kourou is co-managed by the European Space Agency (ESA), the Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES), French rocket builder Arianespace, and Azerbaidjani satellite operator Azercosmos.
In the 2000s, ESA partnered with Russian company TsSKB Progress and the Russian federal Space Agency Roscosmos, and the latter built the launch-pad Ensemble de Lancement Soyuz–ELS (Soyuz (rocket) Launch Pad) in the French Guiana Space Center of Kourou.
Finished in September 2010, it is identical to the Russian launch pad of Baikonur Cosmodrome, and has been co-financed by Arianespace multinational European company and the European Union.
Since 2011, Russia is launching satellites with commercial rockets Soyuz-2, imported in parts in the French Guiana Space Center of Kourou and assembled on site.
The latter cooperation justified the settlements of a number of other Russian companies in French Guiana that currently hires numerous Russians in the place.
Additionally, France and the Soviet Union developed a close partnership in intelligence activities from 1962, which resumed eventually with the Russian Federation and until today (2019) either..

The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción is a temple of worship Catholic Church and predominantly baroque style located in Villamelendro de Valdavia, belonging to the municipality of Villasila de Valdavia, province of Palencia, autonomous community of Castilla y León, Spain.
The Fuero de Villasila y Villamelendro granted by Alfonso VIII in 1180 attests to the existence of both towns at least since the 12th century, with the priests of both parishes coming to Carrión to request this privilege.
The part of the presbytery presents a slightly different alignment from the rest of the nave, so it can be deduced, being closer to the village, that this is the oldest part over which the rest of the building was enlarged.
On 21 February 1527, during the general chapter of the Order of Santiago, which took place in Valladolid, and which was presided over by Carlos I of Spain, the examination of the books of the visitation carried out in Old Castile by Lope Sánchez Becerra and Juan Alonso, a priest of Montemolín, was begun.
As a result of the 1549 pastoral visit to the church of Santa María de Villamelendro, documentation was left about the works that were being carried out at that time where the work of the Cantabrian master stonemason is accredited Juan de la Cuesta natural from Secadura, in the church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, which is the bulk of the current church building.
Both the portico and its paving, as well as a later revision of the buttresses and sacristy, seem to respond to works that took place after the Juan de la Cuesta factory.
In 1771, Manuel Jacinto de Bringas, mayor of the province of Toro, created a file for the Count of Aranda detailing the state of the congregations, confraternities and brotherhoods in the towns of this jurisdiction.
Villasila and Villamelendro are included in this report, with 4 Brotherhoods, 6 Guardianships and 6493 reales de vellón provided for these celebrations as both sacred and profane expenses.
It replaced the old masonry and brick tower with a hipped roof and two loopholes in the mid-20th century, as it threatened ruin.
This is preceded by a portico with an access door with lowered arch flanked on the left and right with openings, lintels to sardinel.
Although originally they would have been open, they were blinded after their construction, perhaps to protect the parishioners who congregated in the atrium from the cold.
The space of the portico behind the opening on the right was used as liturgical storage from some time after its erection until its restoration in 2012, when this storage was amortized.
These works were focused on the recovery of the portico roof, cleaning of the interior facade and replacement of the adobe wall of the East enclosure by a thermo-clay wall.
From that moment on, the atrium recovers the original space, except for the vanos that are glazed, bringing the original clarity to the interior, but offering protection from the atmospheric elements.
When cleaning the floor of the space freed up by this storage area, it was found that the stones perceptible in the area of the doorway also continued towards this side of the portico.
A motif repeated in so many church entrances in the area and which could correspond to some kind of protective sun symbol at the time of the entrance to the temple.
An ashlar also appeared, reused as a footing for a buttress of reinforcement after the work of Juan de la Cuesta, with a series of grooves that after the analysis of the experts of the Fundación de Santa María la Real of Aguilar de Campóo, determined that it was a Renaissance moulding reused at a later time than the main work.
The grooves, 15 in all, are finished off with a semicircle at the top, and between the grooves there seems to be a kind of rope column.
In 2014, the gate, which was damaged by these works to refurbish the atrium, was restored by removing several layers of paint that had accumulated over the centuries.
In the process of restoration, two more crosses were found to have been kicked, carved on the outside of the left door.
A nail from the Ferrería de El Pobal in Muskiz was also used, as well as two other restored nails from local constructions that show a four-lobed exterior.
This motif of a kicked cross is repeated on several doorways in the Palencia and Burgundy areas, with the cross almost always in the same position to the right of the main door.
This custom could be associated with some kind of protective ritual already within the nineteenth century, probably the epidemic of cholera of 1855.
Each parish had at least two confraternities: one was the Vera Cruz Confraternity and the other the Animas Confraternity, which would explain their generic presence in other parishes.
Oral tradition tells how in the 1970s, during the excavation of a well in the corner of the land near the sacristy, a tombstone with characters appeared, currently in an unknown location.
This served as a sundial during the summer season, and the shadow of the temple reaches this brick during the months of the heat wave, just as it arrives at noon, serving as a reference for the neighbors who were working in the vicinity of the temple.
Originally it must have been built at the beginning of the 19th century, although the current one is an extended version of the original one and has access and walls that were remodelled by the Villasila Town Hall at the end of the 20th century.
The interior consists of a single nave, separated by arches of ashlars in three bodies covered with bóveda en arista and a high wooden choir at the feet.
The altarpiece is articulated around a central niche with the image of Asunción presiding and in the side streets four panels with paintings of the life and martyrdom of Julita y Quirico and in the attic Crucifix.
On the Gospel side, there is a crucifix and altarpiece rococo identical to the one on the Epistle side but with gilded reliefs.
In the Baptistery, under the choir, there is a baptismal font with a large ribbon and with a relief of a cross kicked on one of its sides.
By analogy with the font of the nearby Church of San Pelayo in Villasila de Valdavia, we could date it to the end of the 18th century.
At the same time, other more modern works of lesser artistic interest are kept, most notably a Sacred Heart of Jesus that was offered by the family of Martín Cabezón at the beginning of the 20th century for the safe return of their son Marcos Cabezón from the Third Carlist War.
In 1987 frescoes dating from the 18th century were discovered, on the gospel side a star motif is repeated on the floor of the church entrance.
The floor of the church, except for the part of the presbytery which is from the 20th century, is the original one made of terracotta tiles.
Already from the end of the 18th century the need for burials to take place outside the church was promulgated, but it was not until later in the 19th century that the order was carried out.
That is why the wealthy chose areas as close as possible to the main altar and the poorer ones far from it.
These kneeling places were usually above the areas where their relatives were buried, and the place where the women of the same family sat from generation to generation remained.
One of them is typical of holidays, with three bands of the same size, where the first and third are crimson and the middle one is white with the cross of Santiago in the middle, also crimson.
It was necessary to reinforce the building with period buttresses so that they would reinforce the pressures that the groin vaults projected outwards.
In the area of the apse it is reinforced with very thick but low buttresses, since in this area the church tends to open up as well.
That is why in the mid-20th century the arch of the presbytery was reinforced with a double tensor that gave it stability.
In addition, at the end of the 20th century, the base of the whole church was painted with plastic paint, favouring that the humidity goes up the walls, weakening the integrity of the walls.
This is the reason why this building is included in the Red Heritage List of the Association for the care and promotion of Heritage Hispania Nostra since November 2019.

Joseph Monroe Segars (November 6, 1938 Hartsville, South Carolina – July 20, 2014 Lakewood Ranch, Florida) was an American Career Foreign Service Officer who served as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Cape Verde from 1992 until 1996.
When Segars’ parents moved to Philadelphia in search of better jobs, he was raised by his maternal aunt and uncle Walter and Francis Hines.
Segars joined the U.S. Foreign Service in 1970 and became the first African American to be assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Vienna, Austria.
One of the first African Americans to be assigned to South Africa, his arrival in Johannesburg coincided with the Soweto Uprising which was a student protest against the Afrikaans Medium Decree of 1974.
He was Consul General in Kingston, Jamaica from 1978 to 1980 and in 1983, Segars was appointed Consul General, this time in Lagos, Nigeria where he served until 1986.
Harry Waldo Warner (4 January 1874 - 1 June 1945) was an English viola player and composer, one of the founding members of the London String Quartet and a several times Cobbett Award winner for his chamber music.
Born in Northampton, Warner studied from the age of 14 at the Guildhall School of Music under Alfred Gibson for violin and Orlando Morgan for composition, later becoming a professor there.
In 1908 Charles Warwick-Evans !1885-1974) was leader of the Queen's Hall cellos and Warner was first viola in Thomas Beecham's New Symphony Orchestra.
He was enthusiastic, and then Thomas W. Petre (second violin) was found and finally Albert Sammons, the new Concertmaster of Beecham's orchestra, was asked to lead the quartet.
The quartet gave concerts mainly in the UK but travelled to Amsterdam and Paris, with a repertoire extending from the classical period to contemporary works – including Verklärte Nacht in the presence of the composer.
Warner also played in the first performance in England of Debussy's Sonata for flute, viola and harp (at an otherwise London String Quartet concert) on 2 February, 1917 at the Aeolian Hall.
A performance of the work by the London Quartet on September 24 1920, along with a performance of Frank Bridge's String Quartet No 1 in E minor, was witnessed by the American patron of arts Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge in the audience.
It was probably her first hearing of Bridge's music (whose work she supported financially for the rest of his life), and she also became a champion of Warner, whose Suite for piano, violin and cello went on to win first prize at Mrs Coolidge's 1921 chamber music competition in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

The creation of this Plan was entrusted to the Directorate-General for Social Security by the Labour Minister, Licinio de la Fuente.
The work of the directorate-general ended the following year, designing a Plan with great autonomy and attached to the aforementioned directorate-general.
The lack of specialists was especially pronounced in Occupational Health, a branch that only had a small development in the National Institute for Occupational Medicine.
In addition to the above, the National Plan, by delegation of the Organization of the Medical Services for Enterprises (OSME), it assumed the powers of inspection and advice of the Medical Services for Enterprises, a task carried out until 1986, date in which they were transferred to the National Institute for Health (INSALUD).
The National Plan for Occupational Health and Safety had a short life, since in 1976 the Social Service for Health and Safety at Work was created by the Ministry of Labour, which replaced the National Plan in all its functions and competences.
The National Institute for Occupational Medicine and Safety, the National School for Occupational Medicine and the OSME were also integrated into the Social Service; that is to say, all the organisms on which the Occupational Medicine and Medical Services for Enterprises depended.
Even shorter was the life of the Social Service, which was replaced in 1978 by the National Institute for Safety and Hygiene at Work.
The first was in 2017, when it was renamed as the National Institute for Safety, Health and Welfare at Work, because, according to the government, the society of that time was sufficiently sensitized to this issue and was increasingly demanding on everything relativing to work welfare.
Likewise, in the farewell letter of the agency's director, Dolores Limón, she included this change of denomination as one of the reasons for her resignation.
Indeed, and in coherence with the criticisms made a year earlier, the coming to power of a socialist government in 2018 led to the change of name to the National Institute for Safety and Health at Work.
The National Committee on Safety and Health at Work (CNSST) created by the Occupational Hazards Prevention Act of 1995, is the collective advisory body of the Spanish Public Administrations in the formulation of prevention policies and institutional participation body in occupational safety and health.

Mubariz and his brothers, Buzakhur and Bahadur, were told by the Subahdar of Bengal, Islam Khan I, to accompany the latter's brother, Shaykh Habibullah, in an expedition against Majlis Qutb of Fathabad.
Qutb wrote a letter to Musa Khan pleading for help to which Musa deputed an army led by Mirza Mumin ibn Masum Khan equipped with 200 war-boats.
After Mubariz's return to Jahangirnagar from Fathabad, he was given charge of Fort Jatrapur, which was previously run by the rebel Musa Khan.
During Islam Khan's expedition to Kalakopa, Mubariz was posted in the rear alongside Tuqmaq Khan and Mirak Bahadur Jalair with ninety war-boats.
Anwar Khan realised that the Mughals were defeating many of the rebels and so he decided to surrender and offer to help the Mughals in defeating Usman.
However, this was a conspiracy of Anwar's which he sent a letter about to Mahmud Khan, telling him to inform Usman and other rebels of his plans in kidnapping Mughal officers and taking them to Baniachong, in Greater Sylhet - the last stronghold for rebels.
When Mubariz reached Yarasindur, he received a message from Islam Khan I telling him to continue until he reaches Toke thana, where he should wait for his arrival and leave the rest of the army to continue being led by Islam Quli.
After Islam Khan I was informed of this incident, he changed his plan as soon as he reached Toke by ordering Mubariz to go and attack Anwar's forces.
Raja Satrajit initiated a battle against Anwar in Baniachong which continued until Mubariz's arrival, in which Anwar pleaded for ceasefire and submitted himself, hoping that the outcome of Usman's battle goes well so that he could continue fighting later.
Following the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, Usman had evacuated his fort in Bokainagar with 250 men, fleeing to Sylhet after he heard that his allies, Dariya Khan Pani and Nasir Khan of Tajpur, had joined the Mughal forces.
Anwar, who had previously called for ceasefire, heard of Usman's departure and surrendered to Mubariz and Satrajit with no hope left.
Mubariz ordered Anwar to be imprisoned to chains, and Anwar put on the rope of obedience and kissed the feet of the officers.
Pratapaditya of Jessore later surrendered to the Mughals, sending his son Sangramaditya to Islam Khan I and donating 80 war boats.
The Subahdar then sent an army led by Ghiyas Khan to punish Pratapaditya for his past actions and to reincorporate Jessore to Mughal territory.
Following the death of Usman and surrender of Bayazid, Mubariz was appointed in command of all imperial officers in Sylhet by Shaykh Kamal.
During the Subahdarship of Qasim Khan Chishti, Mubariz Khan, Mirak Bahadur Jalair and other thanadars were in Jahangirnagar, and not serving at their appointed thanas.
The Subahdar was displeased by this behaviour and their persisting excuses, and sent a message to Emperor Jahangir of their misconduct.
However, by this time, Mubariz, Mirak and some other thanadars had already returned to their posts, without hearing the reply from the Court.
Due to this case, Qasim Khan ordered his bakhshi (paymaster), Khwaja Tahir Muhammad, to reinstate their titles and jagirs and to inform the imperial Court of this reformation.
Mubariz, wishing that when a new Subahdar arrives that he could show him his record of achievements and get on his good side, decided to lead an expedition to Pratapgarh, also under the domain of the Raja of Kachar.
They have said that during the reign of Timur in the late 12th century, the emperor had reached this extreme point and left a group of Mongols to protect the land before returning to his capital in Baghdad.
Mubariz managed to defeat this tribe with a lot of difficulty, and annexed some of their land to the Mughal Empire.
Mubariz returned to Sylhet thana and appointed Mirak Bahadur Jalair to govern this new tribal area and to keep a lookout for trouble.
Qasim Khan then sent these people to the Emperor, who was pleased with the hard work of Mubariz and his forces and raised his rank and wage..
Mubariz Khan later invaded the Kachari Kingdom as commander of the expedition, managing to defeat the Raja and establishing a fort and thana in Asurainagar.
The Raja sent his envoy to Mubariz saying that he will give a tribute of 40 elephants, 100,000 rupees, and rare artefacts to Emperor Jahangir, 5 elephants and 20,000 rupees to Subahdar Qasim as well as 2 elephants and 20,000 rupees for Mubariz and Mirak.
Mukarram was brought to Jahangirnagar and Qasim Khan visited him in his own home to give him the honour of having sardarship over the entire Sylhet Sarkar as well as giving Mukarram's brothers lesser roles in Sylhet.

Nigerian Entertainment Conference Live (NECLive) is an annual gathering of Nigerian entertainers and professionals from the creative and media industries to brainstorm on challenges and opportunities in the Africa's largest entertainment industry and the fastest growing entertainment and media industry globally.

But Nigerian entertainers have often lamented that piracy has eaten deep into their respective industries and it may grind to a halt if a collective action was not taken to combat it.
Though the Nigerian Copyright Act 2004 criminalises the infringement of intellectual property and theft, piracy has remained a booming business in Nigeria.
Stakeholders said the poor enactment and enforcement of copyright laws, failure to prosecute offenders, as well as corruption, are to blame.
Neclive now provide a platform where entertainers share ideas on how to be ahead of pirates, speak with a united voice and to put the government under pressure to do more in safeguarding creative and intellectual properties.

Nigeria government shifted attention to creative industry that contributes billions of dollars to the economy annually as part of its diversification efforts from oil.
Lead organiser Ayeni Adekunle had said the speakers at NECLive 4 were selected based on their personal experiences and success stories to prove to the world how entertainment and creative industry could be harnessed to drive a non-oil economy.

The Niagarette River is a stream flowing in the municipalities of Saint-Ubalde, Saint-Thuribe and Saint-Casimir, in the Portneuf Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, in Canada]].
The first segment of of the course of the Niagarette river is forest area; the rest of its route flows through an agricultural environment, while passing south of the village of Saint-Casimir at the end of the route.
The surface of the Niagarette River (except the rapids zones) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, but the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from the end of December to the beginning of March.
The Niagarette river takes its source from a small unidentified lake (altitude of ), located in a forest area in the eastern part of the municipality of Saint-Ubalde.
This lake is located east of the village center of Saint-Ubalde and northwest of the confluence of the Niagarette River and the Sainte-Anne River.
Besides the first five kilometers upstream which have a slope of 1.42%, the slope of the rest of the river is low with .
After cutting the route 354 which runs along the northwest shore of the Sainte-Anne river, the Niagarette river flows onto the shore west of the latter at south of the village bridge of Saint-Casimir.
From there, the current descends on southwards following the course of the Sainte-Anne River, to the northwest bank of St. Lawrence River.
On August 10, 1939, the erosion of the banks of the Niagarette river had damaged the low walls of cement and the rip-rap of the banks near the buildings south of the village of Saint-Casimir.
This sudden flood also damaged the route 363 and swept away the residences of the families of Réjean Lépine and Rolland Duchesneau, located near the course of the river as well as part of their respective terrain.
On October 29, 1986, the Gazette officielle du Québec published decree 1512-86 at the request of the municipality of Saint-Casimir for the reconstruction of a dam for the purpose of aqueduct on the bed of the Niagarette river.
In 1998, the municipality of Saint-Casimir had a project to divert the Niagarette river by giving it a more rectilinear route in order to resolve its flooding problems.
The Niagarette river then had a meander more than 200 meters long, suitable for the formation of ice jams during the snowmelt.

The Kingdom of Hawaii began contracting with steamship manufacturers in 1876 for inner-island services, authorizing Samuel G. Wilder as the kingdom's purchasing agent.
On March 20, 1882, Paty joined with six other planters – Edward P. Adams, Samuel T. Alexander , William H. Bailey, William G. Irwin, Alfred S. Hartwell and Z. S. Spalding – to charter the Planters’ Labor & Supply Company as a forum for the Hawaiian sugar industry.
When Walter Murray Gibson was appointed Kalākaua's Minister of Foreign Affairs and became defacto head of the king's cabinet ministers on May 20th of the same year, the planters found themselves at constant odds with Gibson over imported labor.
The year before, Kalākaua's 1881 world tour had been focused on negotiating plantation labor contracts with countries such as Portugal, China and Japan.
The planters favored Chinese laborers for economic reasons, but Gibson put restrictions on how many Chinese laborers could enter, and under what conditions.
Because of ongoing concerns about actions taken by the monarchy under Gibson's tenure as cabinet head, nine businessmen formed a committee to work behind the scenes to effect the outcome of the 1884 election.
In addition to Paty, the other members were Joseph Ballard Atherton, William R. Castle, Sanford B. Dole, William Wisner Hall, James A. Hopper, Peter C. Jones, Henry Wentworth Mist and William O. Smith.
The others were Jonathan Austin, William H. Bailey, B. F. Dillingham, Henry F. Glade, Thomas May, Lorrin A. Thurston and George N. Wilcox.
Although some of these individuals later formed the Committee of Safety and were instrumental in the overthrow of the kingdom, Paty was not named in the subsequent Congressional investigation as having taken part in that event.
She garnered 29, 500 votes which represents 77.03% of the total votes cast and hence defeated the other contestants including Alex Kwame Bonsu, Seth Amakye and Rita Fosuah.

The Petite rivière Niagarette (English: Little Niagarette River) is a tributary of the Niagarette River, crossing the municipalities of Saint-Thuribe and Saint-Casimir, in the Portneuf Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, in Canada.
The course of the Petite rivière Niagarette descends first on in the forest zone, then entirely in the agricultural environment; thus, forestry and agriculture are the main economic activities in this small valley.
The surface of the Petite Niagarette River (except the rapids zones) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, but the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from the end of December to the beginning of March.
The Little Niagarette River flows on the west bank of the Niagarette River, on the west side of the center of the village of Saint-Casimir.
Two major floods have been reported in the history of the Niagarette River and the Little Niagarette River, in 1939 and in 1973.
The waters of the Little Niagarette River rose by almost 4 meters during the night of September 5 to 6, 1973, following a 6 cm rain accumulation.

Iława Town Hall, a neo-Baroque town hall in Iława, built in 1910-1912 during the term of office of the mayor of the then Iława - Karl Friedrich Giese, on ul.
The successful economic situation and the city's rich cash register made it possible to take adecision on the construction of the city hall after long decades.
The magnificent, representative edificeof the town hall in the neo-Baroque style is located on the main street (Kaiserstrasse) in the green areas of the old town moat.
The Town Hall was destroyed during the II World War, rebuilt during the communist era and served as a market hall.
One of the most interesting elements of the main (central) part are the external stairs located on both sides of the main entrance to the Town Hall.
Above, there is anIonic frieze crowning the façade, and in the part of the roof there arethree façades, crowned with a two-stage tower with a terrace, a dialand a helmet.
However, the architectural elements werere constructed in the form of large volutes supporting the peaks from the side of the courtyard, and on the axis of the pilasters (onthe roof) there are statues in the form of small vases (or, as someclaim, acorns).
The inner parts of the sashes are basket arcades carrying the terrace bounded by a balustrade, and in the arcades large and wide windows ending in a basket arch.
South side it is a modern extension, on both sides of the road, with quarter-circle bays at both corners and only in the eastern part (in the roof part) of the façade.

In November 1941, it reached the city of Aleksin on the Oka River but was pushed back towards Spas-Demensk by the Soviet counter offensive in the Battle of Moscow.
It stayed in Spa-Demansk during 1942 and was moved to Velikiye Luki in 1943, where it was involved in the Battle of Nevel (1943).
In March 1945 the General Command was evacuated over sea from the Courland Pocket and added to the 8th army in Northern Hungary.
190th Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery, Royal Artillery, was an air defence unit of Britain's Territorial Army formed in Birmingham before World War II.
It defended the West Midlands against attack during the Battle of Britain and the early part of the Blitz, and was then shipped to Malta, where it served through most of the long siege when the island fortress was bombed incessantly.
In the 1930s the increasing need for anti-aircraft (AA) defence for Britain's cities was addressed by converting a number of Territorial Army (TA) infantry units into AA gun units of the Royal Artillery (RA).
The Birmingham-based 6th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment was one unit selected for this role, becoming 69th (Royal Warwickshire Regiment) Anti-Aircraft Brigade, Royal Artillery on 10 December 1936, consisting of four batteries, including 190 AA Battery.
The newly converted 190 AA Bty established Battery Headquarters (BHQ) at Fernbank House, Alum Rock Road, under the command of Major E.V.M.
The TA's AA units were mobilised on 23 September 1938 during the Munich Crisis, with units manning their emergency positions within 24 hours, even though many did not yet have their full complement of men or equipment.
In June 1939, as the international situation deteriorated, a partial mobilisation of TA units was begun in a process known as 'couverture', whereby each AA unit did a month's tour of duty in rotation to man selected gun positions.
On 24 August, ahead of the declaration of war, the units of Anti-Aircraft Command were fully mobilised at their war stations.
69th (Royal Warwickshire) AA Rgt was under the command of 34th (South Midland) Anti-Aircraft Brigade, which controlled the Gun Defended Areas (GDAs) of Birmingham and Coventry.
190 AA Battery was manning three sites at Coventry: Site A at Western Lawn Farm, Bedworth, and Site G at Tile Hill, each with two 3.7-inch guns, which were emplaced and considered 'in action' by 10.15 on 27 August, and Site L where there were two pre-positioned 3-inch guns.
The regiment handed over its gunsites to 95th (Birmingham) AA Rgt and sent parties to help Warwickshire farmers with the harvest.
On 24 September 190 AA Bty was temporarily broken up among the other three batteries of 69th (RWR) AA Rgt, and BHQ became the cadre for training recruits.
A group of officers from the regiment volunteered to join the Regular 4th AA Rgt for service with the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) in France.
190 AA Battery was recruited back up to full strength by 19 October and took over Sites A and G once more, as well as providing detachments manning Light machine guns (LMGs) at the Ryton aircraft factory, which was designated a Vulnerable Point (VP).
In the new year the regiment was manning L and T sites at Birmingham, together with the Ryton VP until the LMG detachments were relieved by another unit in February 1940.
In late March the battery attended a practice camp at Tŷ Croes on Anglesey, returning in April to take over L, P and T sites in Birmingham.
The Phoney War ended with the German invasion of the Low Countries on 10 May, and all gunsites were put on high alert, with ammunition ready, and all crews armed with rifles to deal with German paratroops.
There was no immediate attack, and the battery was switched to Wolverhampton, with A Site at Coven, and C Site at Merry Hill (each with 4 x static 3.7-inch guns that needed to be mounted), and BHQ at Bromley House.
On 1 June 1940, along with other units equipped with 3-inch or heavier guns, 69th (RWR) was designated a Heavy AA (HAA) Regiment and its batteries were similarly retitled.
The battery was in action on the nights of 12/13, 16/17 and 19/20 August, and then on three successive nights 23–26 August.
Birmingham and Coventry experienced further heavy raids in October, with C Site's guns in action on the night of 15/16 and both sites on 20/21 and 21/22 October.
190 and the other two batteries (191 HAA Bty had preceded them a month before) arrived at the mobilisation centre at Southend-on-Sea on 14 November, and therefore missed the notorious bombing raid that destroyed Coventry that night.
The ship also carried vitally needed AA guns, including 24 3.7-inch, but these were stowed under a cargo of potatoes, and there was some delay before they could be landed.
Now complete, 190 HAA Bty came under the command of 10th HAA Rgt, alongside 191 HAA Bty which had arrived in a previous convoy.
In March there was dive-bombing against the Royal Air Force (RAF) airfields, defended by 10th HAA Rgt, and attacks on a supply convoy on 23 March.
The HAA guns were engaged almost every day, taking a steady toll of the bombers, but the ammunition expenditure was very great.
10th HAA Regiment exchanged with 7th HAA Rgt and took responsibility for defending Fort Manoel and Grand Harbour with a mixture of 4.5-inch, 3.7-inch and 3-inch guns.
By now the RAF fighter strength had been reduced to a handful of aircraft, and the AA guns were the main defence.
March and April 1942 were the period of the heaviest air raids on Malta, with well over 250 sorties a day on occasions.
HAA guns had difficulty engaging these raids, but assisted the defending fighters by firing single 'pointer' rounds to conserve ammunition.This form of fighter-bomber sweep also lost heavily to the AA guns and RAF fighters.
At this stage 190 HAA Bty, with seven officers, 210 other ranks, and 24 attached Maltese Auxiliaries, was billeted in Christian Brothers Street, Gzira, and the two Troops manned gunsites XHE26 (Tal-Qroqq) and XHE 27 (Naxxar), each with 4 x 3.7-inch guns.
With the Axis defeat at Alamein and the Allied North Africa landings the same month, the siege of Malta was ended.
The only enemy air activity for the rest of the year was occasional high-flying reconnaissances and one raid on Luqa in December.
In April, A Troop exchanged gunsite XHE27 with 222 HAA Bty and took over the three static 4.5-inch Mk I guns and GL Mk II radar at XHE25 (Fleur-de-Lys or 'Flurry').
By June/July 1943 the battery formed part of a large AA concentration protecting the build-up of forces in Malta for the Allied invasion of Sicily (Operation Husky).
On 17 June 1943, RHQ 10th HAA Rgt was officially disbanded and reformed as RHQ 68th (North Midland) HAA Rgt, with the same batteries:190 and 191 from Birmingham, and 222 from Derby.
Although the AA defences of Malta were progressively run down as units returned home or joined the campaigns in Sicily and later in mainland Italy, 68th HAA Regiment remained part of the permanent garrison of the island until the end of the war and beyond.
68th HAA Regiment was placed in suspended animation in Malta in December 1946 so that it could be officially reformed in the TA in the UK on 1 January 1947.
Simultaneously, 190 HAA Bty was disbanded and its personnel used to resuscitate 252 Medium Bty (from 17th Med Rgt) of the Regular RA as 56 HAA Bty.
The regiment became a pure HAA unit in 1948 and in 1959 it was converted into an AA guided weapons regiment.
In 1968 56 Bty transferred to 50 Missile Rgt where it remained until it was placed in suspended animation in 1993.
Meanwhile the 69th (RWR) HAA Rgt, which had been placed in suspended animation in Italy in January 1945, reformed in the TA at Kings Heath, Birmingham, on 1 January 1947 as 469th (Royal Warwickshire Regiment) (Mixed) HAA Rgt ('Mixed' indicating that members of the Women's Royal Army Corps were integrated into the unit).
When AA Command was disbanded on 10 March 1955, 469 (RWR) HAA Rgt with three other West Midland regiments was amalgamated into 442 Light AA Rgt, in which the regimental and battery lineage was maintained by P (5th/6th Royal Warwicks) Bty.

He worked at F.C.Barcelona between 1995 and 2008, where he formed part of the team that developed Leo Messi, Gerard Pique and Cesc Fabregas.
In July 2009, Liverpool agreed a deal to bring in renowned Barcelona youth coaches Rodolfo Borrell and Pep Segura to the club.
In the mid-late 2000s, first team coach Rafael Benitez made it a priority of his to improve the club's Academy, hence why Rodolfo was brought in.
It is a job that means my name will sit forever alongside the likes of Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Roy Evans, Phil Thompson and Sammy Lee.
They are big names in Liverpool's history and it is also an important role because it is the final step in the Academy.

Having failed to provide the first team with a key player since Steven Gerrard who made his debut in 1998, the Academy produced numerous exciting talents since Borrell's appointment, including such players as Raheem Sterling.
Recent speculation linked Rodolfo to Arsenal, however Pep Guardiola was not minded to allow former Barcelona youth coach Borrell, who played a role in nurturing the early career of Lionel Messi, to follow the same path as Mikel Arteta.
Borrell will effectively take on Arteta's old job, with the 48-year-old set to work more closely with Pep Guardiola than before.

Rosa Catherine Fiveash (22 July 1854, Adelaide – 13 February 1938, Adelaide) was an Australian botanical artist, illustrator and art teacher.
Rosa Catherine Fiveash was born on 22 July 1854 in Adelaide, becoming the youngest child of businessman and superintendant of the Blinman and Yudanamutana copper mines Robert Archibald Fiveash and his wife Margaret, née Rees.
While studying under Harry Pelling Gill, Principal, and Louis Tannert, Master of the School of Painting, Fiveash chose painting of Australian flora as her specialization.
Achieving high grades, she gained her art teacher’s certificate from the Adelaide School of Art in 1888, and three years later, received accreditation from South Kensington in London.
Apart from a trip to England in 1901, Fiveash lived all her life with her unmarried sister in the family house in North Adelaide.
Each of nine parts of this work, that were published between 1892 and 1890, contained five illustrations of Fiveash drawn in no particular botanical order.
Her works were described as outstanding detailed depiction of the flowering branches, as well as the floral parts, timber and bark of eucalypts.
After painting Fiveash’s works were prepared for the lithography by the South Australian Government lithograper Haucourt Barrett, who received a smaller share of credit comparing to Fiveash.
Her seven of the colored plates accompanied Stirling’s description of newly discovered marsupial mole, as well as 322 illustrations of toas Aboriginal direction signs, for a later paper by Stirling and E. R. Waite.
After visiting Victoria in 1880s to enhance her china painting technique and learn the firing process, Fiveash returned to the art school in Adelaide where she taught this technique from 1894 to 1896.
Even after 1896, when the fashion for china painting faded away and the class was abandoned, Fiveash continued making pieces in this technique for several decades into the twentieth century.In 1900 Fiveash’s portfolio with flower-paintings so impressed the governor Lord Tennyson and philanthropist Robert Barr Smith that they purchased the pictures as the gift to the colony.
In 1908 Professor and orchidologist Richard S. Rogers persuaded Fiveash to concentrate on orchids and she quickly developed an ‘orchid eye’.
Rogers provided Fiveash with a set of Zeiss lenses and fresh specimens and Fiveash provided him the illustrations for his publications.
In 1957 her paintings were moved from the Art Gallery to the South Australian Museum, and finally to the Botanic Gardens of Adelaide in 1979.

O’Brien is best known for performance art actions in which he uses endurance and un-simulated injury to explore his experience of living with cystic fibrosis, a severe and chronic genetic illness.
A key proponent of disability art in the U.K., O’Brien uses performance art as well as installation and video to challenge common representations of illness and disability and examine what it means to be born with a life-threatening disease.
His performances include vignettes that use percussive therapeutic techniques used to treat the symptoms of cystic fibrosis (beating the chest to expel phlegm); or invented techniques such as cutting the shape of the lungs onto the skin of his chest.
His works also tend to borrow the style and content of sadomasochistic practices, often is direct dialogue with the work of the late Bob Flanagan, a pioneering artist who similarly used pain and endurance to explore his experiences as a person with cystic fibrosis.
His work has been presented throughout the UK, Europe and the USA including Spill Festival (London), Kapelica Gallery (Ljubljana), Abrons Art Center (New York), ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives (Los Angeles), Tate Britain, London, In Between Time Festival of Performance (Bristol), Chapter Arts Centre (Cardiff), and Grace Exhibition Space (New York).

The 1902 eruption of Mount Pelée was a moderately large volcanic eruption on the island of Martinique in the Lesser Antilles Volcanic Arc of the eastern Caribbean.
Some of the afflicted residents panicked and headed for the perceived safety of larger settlements, especially Saint-Pierre, about south of Pelée's summit.
Mount Pelée remained relatively quiet until the afternoon of 5 May when a mudflow swept down a river on the southwest flank of the volcano, destroying a sugar mill.
A ground-hugging cloud of incandescent lava particles suspended by searing turbulent gases moved at hurricane speed down the southwest flank of the volcano, reaching Saint-Pierre at 8:02 a.m.
On 23 April there was a light rain of cinders on the mountain's southern and western side, together with seismic activity.
On 25 April the mountain emitted a large cloud containing rocks and ashes from its top, where the Étang Sec caldera was located.
On 26 April the surroundings were dusted by volcanic ash from an explosion; the public authorities still did not see a reason to worry.
There was a high cone of volcanic debris built up on one side, feeding the lake with a steady stream of boiling water.
On Monday, 5 May, activity appeared to decrease, but at about 1:00 p.m., the sea suddenly receded about and then rushed back, flooding parts of the city, and a large cloud of smoke appeared westwards of the mountain.
One wall of the Étang Sec crater collapsed and propelled a mass of boiling water and mud (a lahar) into the Blanche River, flooded the Guérin sugar works and buried about 150 victims under to of mud.
On Wednesday, 7 May at around 04:00, activity increased; the clouds of ash caused numerous bolts of volcanic lightning around the mountaintop, and both craters glowed reddish orange into the night.
Through the day, people were leaving the city, but more people from the countryside were attempting to find refuge in the city, increasing its population by several thousand.
News of the volcano Soufrière erupting on the nearby Saint Vincent island reassured the people, who believed it was a sign that the mountain's internal pressure was being relieved.
A cable repair ship had the city in direct view; the upper mountainside ripped open and a dense black cloud shot out horizontally.
The horizontal pyroclastic surge hugged the ground and sped down towards the city of Saint-Pierre, appearing black and heavy, glowing hot from within.
Nobody knew what was happening, nor who had authority over the island, as the governor was unreachable and his status unknown.
The area devastated by the pyroclastic cloud covered about , with the city of Saint-Pierre taking the brunt of the damage.
At the time of the eruption, Saint-Pierre had a population of about 28,000, which had swollen with refugees from the minor explosions and mud flows first emitted by the volcano.
Legend has previously reported that out of the 30,000 in the city, there were only two survivors: Louis-Auguste Cyparis, a felon held in an underground cell in the town's jail for wounding a friend with a cutlass, and Léon Compère-Léandre, a man who lived at the edge of the city.
A number made their way to Le Carbet, just south of St. Pierre behind a ridge that protected that town from the worst of the pyroclastic flow; survivors were rescued on the beach there by Martinique officials.
I turned to go into the house, with great difficulty climbed the three or four steps that separated me from my room, and felt my arms and legs burning, also my body.
At this moment four others sought refuge in my room, crying and writhing with pain, although their garments showed no sign of having been touched by flame.
At the end of 10 minutes one of these, the young Delavaud girl, aged about 10 years, fell dead; the others left.
I got up and went to another room, where I found the father Delavaud, still clothed and lying on the bed, dead.
However, it reached the port of Saint-Pierre at 06:30, shortly before the eruption, and was set aflame by the pyroclastic flow.
28 of her crew, and all the passengers except two (a child and her creole nurse), were killed by the cloud.
The fierce heat beat back landing parties until nearly 15:00, when the captain came ashore on the Place Bertin, the tree-shaded square with cafés near the center of town.
Meanwhile, a number of survivors had been plucked from the sea by small boats; they were sailors who had been blown into the water by the impact of the blast, and who had clung to wreckage for hours.
In the village of Carbet, shielded from the fiery cloud by a high promontory at the southern end of the city, were more victims, also badly burned; few of these lived longer than a few hours.
Inside this area, the annihilation of life and property was total; outside was a second, clearly defined zone where there were casualties, but the material damage was less, while beyond this lay a strip in which vegetation was scorched but life was spared.
Many victims were in casual attitudes, their features calm and reposeful, indicating that the eruption blast had reached them without warning; others were contorted in anguish.
Some houses were almost pulverized; it was impossible even for those familiar with the city to identify the foundations of the city landmarks.
Sanitation parties gradually penetrated the ruins, to dispose of the dead by burning; burial was not possible given the number of dead.
Thousands of victims lay under a shroud of ashes, heaped in windrows several feet deep, caked by the rains; many of these bodies were not retrieved for weeks, and few were identifiable.
On 12 May, US president Theodore Roosevelt instructed the Secretaries of War, Navy, and Treasury to start relief measures at once.
The US Congress voted for $200,000 of immediate assistance and set hearings to determine what larger sum might be needed when the full nature of the disaster could be learned.
In an appeal for public funds the President empowered postmasters to receive donations for relief of the victims; a national committee of prominent citizens took charge of chartering supply ships.
On 20 May 1902, a second eruption similar to the first one in both type and force obliterated what was left of Saint-Pierre, killing 2000 rescuers, engineers, and mariners bringing supplies to the island.
During a powerful eruption on August 30, 1902, a pyroclastic flow extended further east than the flows of 8 and 20 May.
Although not quite as powerful as the previous two eruptions, the August 30 pyroclastic flow struck Morne Rouge, killing at least 800, Ajoupa-Bouillon (250 fatalities), and parts of Basse-Pointe (25 fatalities) and Morne-Capot, killing 10.
Beginning in October 1902, a large volcanic spine grew from the crater floor in the Étang Sec crater, reaching a maximum width of about and a height of about .

Sokichi Furuya (born February 16, 1914 - May 31, 1985) was a Japanese serial killer, who in the span between October 30 and December 12, 1965, murdered eight elderly people in a robbery-murder spree.
His parents were part-time farmers, who also operated as relatively wealthy fish traders, but when Sokichi was four, his mother died, while his father went to Korea in search of new land, breaking up the family.
Furuya was sent to live with his uncle in Osaka until he was 8, also staying with other relatives at times.
Finally, Furuya, unable to stand his stepmother's abuse, began earning a living by stealing, and engaged in a life of theft and violence, spending his nights under the eaves of a temple.
After graduating from elementary school, Furuya and his family relocated to Hiroshima Prefecture, but Sokichi was kicked out of his junior high school for beating up a teacher.
His misfortune and misery in childhood led to the formation of a crude, self-centered and bizarre personality, which would later be responsible for numerous violent events.
He remained at the Iwakuni reformatory in Yamaguchi Prefecture until April 1933, but was rearrested in August for another theft that occurred on May 4, for which he received four years imprisonment to be in served the Fukuoka Prison.
Immediately after his release, he was sentenced to 3 years in prison for theft and fraud in September 1937, and given another six for theft in April 1941.
By 1947, Furuya had amassed several convictions for theft, fraud and extortion, and had spent a total of 29 years in prison.
On May 23, 1951, while in Fukuoka's Hakata-ku ward, Sokichi and a younger accomplice strangled a man and stole 6,800 in cash.
In addition to robbing the yen, the duo also strangled to death a lonely, elderly man in Yahata (now Kitakyushu) on June 20, stealing 230 yen from him.
Because he had managed to pin the crimes on his younger companion, and with the lack of sufficient evidence to tie him to the crime scenes, he served time in the Kumakoto Prison before being paroled on November 9, 1963.
While on the run, the accomplice, who was 19 years old at the time, had served 10 years in juvenile prison.
Furuya got a job with civil engineering after his parole from Kumamato Prison, and after reading a newspaper article, in May 1964, he decided to move to the Kansai region.
On October 30, 1965, Furuya strangled a 57-year-old man who lived in Kaigandori, in Kobe, stealing 500 yen, as well watches and the victim's pants.
The next attack took place in Nishinomiya, with Furuya continuing his crime spree until December 12 of that year, always attacking in West Japan, with his targets being persons above 50 years of age and living alone.
His victims included one man in Fukuoka, three in Hyōgo, one in Osaka, one in Shiga and two in Kyoto - all were killed by stabbing, strangulation or severe beating in either junkyards or construction sites.
Based on a picture sent from a woman living in Kotohirayama, Kagawa Prefecture, the Ōmuta-based agency learned of a picture showing four people, among them aforementioned woman and Sokichi Furuya.
On December 11, in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, authorities found that a fingerprint was consisted with those of Sokichi Furuya, who was designated as Internationally Wanted the following day.
On that very day, Furuya was in Nishinomiya, walking around the coastal bank when he came across two local salvagers (51 and 69-years-old, respectively), whom he beat to death with a hammer.
Coincidentally, a patrol of police officers were near the scene when they discovered the bodies of the two men in a hut.
Without a weapon, he still ignored the warnings from police, but Furuya, who was 51 at the time, was not physically capable of outrunning the multiple police officers who were on his tail.
Initially, he denied any and all charges against him, blaming a fictitious accomplice while proclaiming his own innocence, much like with his 1951 crimes.
When asked for a reason for the killings, he gave a very simple answer: he begged for meals and accommodation, and killed those who refused.
Police also determined that Furuya was responsible for an additional murder of an old man between 1964 and 1965, but lacked the appropriate evidence for it.
On June 29, 1966, the first trial of Sokich Furuya was held in the Kobe District Court before the presiding judge of Nagahisa.
He remained calm during the initial court proceedings, but when the prosecutor began describing one of the crime scenes in Kobe, he suddenly got up, shouted at, and subsequently beat up the prosecutor.
Furuya only admitted to the Nishinomiya murder, but denied robbery being the motive, claiming that he had not intended to steal the gold, but instead stopped to borrow some food and only killed the lodger when he refused to offer some.
On February 16, 1971, the Kobe District Court, headed by Chief Justice Nakagawa, as well as the Kobe District Prosecutor's Office and prosecutor Megumi Nakamura, sentenced Sokichi Furuya to death.
The presiding judge, Takatsuji Masami, supported the death sentence and rejected the appeal, and in January 1979, the death sentence was formally established.
After the death penalty was established, he was held in Osaka Detention House until his execution, but on December 2, 1982, he attacked a fellow 39-year-old death row prisoner in his cell.
On May 31, 1985, six years after being sentenced to death, Sokichi Furuya was executed in the Osaka Detention House following an order by Minister of Justice Hitoshi Shimazaki.
At the time, he was oldest prisoner to be executed in Japan, a record later broken following the double execution of Yoshimitsu Akiyama and Yoshio Fujinami (77 and 75, respectively) on December 25, 2006.
He had no cellmates or friends, and the only person who sent him letters was a former investigator from the Hyōgo Prefectural Police.

King; and Burrell C. Allen, Ivan E. Bass, John Downes, Arthur P. Fairfield, Julius A. Furer, George F. Neal, Walter N. Vernou, Manley H. Simmons, Rufus F. Zogbaum Jr., Adolphus Andrews and William S. Pye.
Fisher was subsequently appointed Assistant Naval Constructor at Boston Navy Yard and was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant (junior grade) on October 21, 1904 and to Lieutenant on the same date.
He was transferred to Naval Construction Corps two weeks later and served at the Mare Island Navy Yard as Assistant Naval Constructor from June 1907 until mid-August 1911, when he was ordered to the same capacity at Norfolk Navy Yard.
He was promoted to Naval Constructor and ordered to the Puget Sound Navy Yard in August 1914, where he participated in the repair and rebuilding of the ships for next three years.
Following the United States entry into World War I, Fisher was promoted to the temporary rank of Commander on August 31, 1917 and ordered to the staff of the Commander, U.S.
Fisher was stationed in England and France and served in this capacity until November 1918, when he was ordered to the Naval Base in Brest for construction duty.
For his previous service as Aide to Admiral Sims, Fisher was decorated with Navy Cross, the United States military's second-highest decoration awarded for valor in combat, and also received Legion of Honour by the Government of France.
Fisher remained in France until October 1919 and returned to the United States for duty as Member of the Compensation Board at the Navy Department.
He was transferred to the Charleston Navy Yard, South Carolina in September 1921 and served there for one year, where he was ordered to Washington, D.C. for duty at the Bureau of Construction and Repair under Rear admiral John D. Beuret.
Fisher was transferred to San Francisco in August 1931 and appointed Member of the Board of Intelligence & Security, Pacific Coast Section.
He remained in that assignment until September 1935, when he was ordered to the Washington, D.C. for duty Assistant Director of Shore Establishment Division in the Office of the Secretary of the Navy under Claude A. Swanson.
In September 1939, Fisher was promoted to the capacity of Director of Shore Establishment Division and held overal responsibility for the coordination and improvement of the industrial establishment at the Navy Yards.
He proposed to abolish the Bureaus and to substitute in their place an Office of Naval Material paralleling the Office of Naval Operations.
On the other hand, Secretary of the Navy Charles Edison proposed a reorganization which would have retained the Bureau system, but was expected to provide coordination of materiel through a Director of Shore Establishments, and in this way to bring about more effective and more harmonious relationships between the command, civilian, and staff elements of the Navy Department.
Fisher served as Secretary's spokesman and principal advocate of the plan at the Committee Hearings, but it was opposed by Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), Admiral Harold R. Stark and was dropped.
The influence of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy in such matters gradually declined and a corresponding increase in the control over the Shore Establishment by CNO took place at the same time.
He was particularly concerned over the growing practice of bypassing the Assistant Secretary, thus keeping that office in the dark about matters for which the Assistant Secretary was responsible.
New CNO and Fisher's Naval Academy classmate, Admiral Ernest King continued in the efforts to switch the functions of Shore Establishment Division to Budget Office under CNO, but Fisher recommended against such a wholesale transfer.
Fisher was replaced on January 20, 1944 by Rear admiral Frederick G. Crisp and appointed Director of Inspection Division in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy under Ralph A. Bard.
He also held additional duty as a member of the Navy Manpower Survey Board under his Naval Academy classmate, Vice admiral Adolphus Andrews.
Fisher retired on shortly following the War after 44 years of active duty and received Legion of Merit by Secretary of the Navy James V. Forrestal for his distinguished service during the War.

On 30 March 2016, Minister of National Economy, Erbolat Dosaev, announced that from starting from July 1st, 1.7 million hectares of agricultural land would be put up for auction.
According to some Kazakh journalists, the boiling point was not the amendments to the Land Code, but the country's difficult economic situation due to declining oil prices and the devaluation of the tenge despite promises by the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev to fix the problems.
Among the signatories of the petition were Abdijamil Nurpeisov, a writer, Murat Auezov, a culturologist, Murat Kalmataev, retired general, Abugali Kaydarov, academician, and Mels Eleusizov, an ecologist.

In addition, Nazarbayev ordered the creation of a new Ministry of Information and Communication, which would monitor the information space and develop the state’s information policy.
Attempts to hold unsanctioned rallies were recorded in the cities of Aktobe, Atyrau, and Pavlodar, where a small number of citizens gathered and after warning about the illegality of the rally, a group of people obediently left the embankment of the river Irtysh, and the organizer Serikbay Alibaev was fined 50 MCI.
After a rally in Atyrau at a session of the People’s Assembly, President Nazarbayev expressed his vision of the land issue and stated that it was necessary to find and punish all the instigators of misinformation about the issue.

In Temirtau, according to the Deputy Head of the city, Galymzhan Spabekov, was in order not to block the public transport in the city along the main streets.

Most of the Kazakh media since the beginning of the protests did not cover the events, only after a while, asparse information was given.
On April 29, a coverage was shown on the First Channel, which stated that the organizers of the protests received monetary rewards in the amount of 50 to 150 dollars from foreign nations to each person who came to the rally.

After studying at theater set design and drawing in Belgium, and immigrating to Palestine in 1934, Lurie obtained work by painting and exhibiting her art in Tel Aviv.
During the German occupation of Lithuania in 1941, she was residing with family in Kovno, and was deported to the Kovno ghetto.
While imprisoned at the Kovno ghetto, and later the Stutthof and Leibitz concentration camps, Lurie continued to paint and draw art, both under the surveillance of the Germans and clandestinely.
Her sketches and watercolors documenting the Holocaust also served as part of the testimony in the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann.
She studied at the Ezra Gymnasium in Riga, a Hebrew day school, and developed her artistic talent from the age of fifteen.
She continued refining her talents by studying theater set design at the Institut des Arts Décoratifs (later known as La Cambre) and drawing at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Belgium from 1931 to 1934.
There, she painted backdrops for the Adloyada parade, the Levant Fair, and the Hebrew Theater in Tel Aviv, in addition to drawing.
After returning to Belgium to continue her studies, she moved to Kovno to help her sister Mouta and Mouta's son Reuben.
She held several art exhibitions in Kovno prior to the German invasion of Lithuania in June 1941, including an exhibition by the Royal Opera House in 1940, where many of her works were bought by local Jewish institutions and the Kovno State Museum.
She formed a collective of artists to work to that end, whose members included Josef Schlesinger, Jacob Lifschitz, and Ben Zion Schmidt.
After receiving special permission to draw in the pottery workshop, Lurie asked Jewish potters to prepare ceramic jars that she could use to secure her artwork.
She eventually used the jars to bury more than 200 works of clandestinely drawn art under her sister's house in 1943.
When the ghetto was liquidated in July 1944, she was deported to the Stutthof concentration camp and then to the Leibitz camp, where she continued her work documenting life within ghettos.
The sketchbook, published by the Jewish Soldiers' Club of Rome, collected reconstructions of the works she drew at the Leibitz concentration camp.
Although she was not required to testify in the trial herself, her sketches and watercolors documenting the Holocaust were approved by the Supreme Court of Israel for their documentary value and served as part of the testimony.
Lurie donated much of her work from the time of the Holocaust, which can found in the collections of the Ghetto Fighters' House and Yad Vashem in Israel, both memorials to the Holocaust.

The iconography of Indian Vase consists of friezes of Native Americans from the period prior to the pacification of Native Americans and their assignments to reservations and dependency on the Federal government.
The figures are clearly Indians of the Plains Indians rendered utilizing classicizing approaches and in marble, thus indicating the classicism and neoclassicism (that in this work shades into Romanticism) that Van Wart was exposed to in his extensive travels throughout Europe.
Van Wart uses a classical jug, an Amphora for his scenes and sculpts his figures in idealized poses evoking classical prototypes such as the Hellenistic Boy with Thorn and the historicizing friezes of the Roman imperial period as those upon Trajan’s Column.
The work is overtly sentimental about the disappeared lives of 'free' indians prior to the transformation of the New World into lands populated by Europeans.
Along with being exotic and romantic, Van Wart's focus on indians fit neatly with the depictions of indians in popular dime novels and the Wild West Shows that were extraordinarily popular in the US during the height of Native American pacification.
The complexity of the materials and the work's decorative complexity speaks to Van Wart's confidence that the object would sell and it was exhibited prominenly in NYC.
The representation is an aggregation of popular perceptions of Native Americans in stereotypical pursuits, collaring bison, using bows and arrows in hunts, carrying infants in papooses framed by teepees in low relief.
In the intermediate section between the friezes on the base and the free standing figures are hierarchically scaled heads of bison that suggest hunting trophies.
In an embodiment of the self-directed institutional critique the Metropolitan Museum of Art is undertaking, the web page describing the work is linked to an auxillary page offering native American perspectives on objects in the museum's permanant collection and this review criticizes the Indian Vase as a 'misunderstanding' of native American culture.
' (First Sounds of the Independence Anthem), also known as ' (Independence Anthem), is painting by Augusto Bracet.It was made in 1922.The artwork is of the genre historical painting, and is on the National Historical Museum of Brazil.
Bracet portrayed an event in the process of Brazilian independence, the composition of the Independence Anthem, whose official authorship is by Dom Pedro and Evaristo da Veiga.
The portrayal of Bracet is based on the memory of Francisco Canto de Mello, furthermore a excerpt from his writings was shown at the catalogue of the first public exhibit of the painting, as contextualisation for the painting.
The artwork of Bracet was shown publicly at the Exposition of Contemporary Art and Retrospective Art of the Independence Centenary, that begun on the .
The painting was selected in 1923, together with artworks by Georgina de Albuquerque, Helios Seelinger and Pedro Bruno, to be bought by the state art collection, the main prize of this fine arts event whose goal was acquiring artworks that alluded to the national formation of Brazil.
The selection was done by Flexa Ribeiro, Archimedes Memória and Rodolfo Chambelland, with their task being searching for new iconographic portrayals of historical interpretations of independence.
Contrarily to triumphalist portrayals of Dom Pedro in the independence process, such as by Pedro Américo, the painting by Bracet explores the emperor's intimacy, having him play a domestic and even feminine role.
He represented Germany at the 2008 Summer Paralympics and at the 2012 Summer Paralympics and he won the silver medal in the men's 100 metres breaststroke SB5 event in 2012.
His father Joseph, a sixth-grade teacher and chess adviser, encouraged Dean to watch chess games early in life and by the time he was 3, Dean started to play chess.
As a teenager, Ippolito was trained by professional coaches including Gregory Kaidanov, Grandmaster Giorgi Kacheishvili as well as Grandmaster and prolific chess writer Edmar Mednis, In 1988, when Ippolitto was only 10 years old, he won the U.S.
During his career, Ippolito has had numerous other scholastic chess accomplishments at the national level, including the Marshall Chess Club Championship (1997), Pressman All-America Team (1998) and Samford Chess Scholarship (1998).
Since then, he has trained many nationally ranked chess players and his teaching methods are widely recognized in the chess community.
In 2006, The New Jersey Chess Federation recognized Dean as Chess Teacher of the Year due to his ability to help all students from complete beginners to national champions.
In 2011, the Executive Board United States Chess Federation unanimously voted to award Dean the Frank J. Marshall Ambassador of Chess Award for his contributions to the chess world.
On April 2009, Dean Ippolito attempted to set a new record by playing simultaneously with 105 chess players with minimum established USCF or FIDE rating of 1000.

He was instrumental in the creation of two awards for achievement in comic books, voted on by professionals, the Kirby Awards and the Eisner Awards.
The Kirby Award was created in reaction against the 1983 institution of the Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Awards, which were voted on by fans; Olbrich (and the editors at Fantagraphics) wished to create an award voted on by comics professionals (meaning creators, retailers, and distribution personnel).
Olbrich came up with the idea of naming the new award after the pioneering writer and artist Jack Kirby, and managed the process.
The Jack Kirby Comics Industry Awards were first distributed at the 1985 San Diego Comic-Con, with Kirby himself on hand to congratulate the winners.
The awards lasted for three years, but in 1987 a dispute arose after Olbrich had left the magazine (to help found Malibu Comics); he and Fantagraphics each claimed ownership of the awards, eventually leading to the discontinuation of the Kirby Award.
A compromise was reached, and in 1988 two new awards were created: the Eisner Award, managed by Olbrich and named after Will Eisner; and the Fantagraphics-managed Harvey Award, named for Harvey Kurtzman.
The first Eisner Awards were distributed in 1988 at the San Diego Comic-Con, with Will Eisner himself on hand to congratulate the winners.
Malibu Comics was launched in 1986 by Olbrich and Tom Mason, with the financing of Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, at that time the operator of Sunrise Distributors.
Malibu began modestly with creator-owned black-and-white titles, but made a name for itself publishing a combination of new series and licensed properties such as the classic characters Tarzan and Sherlock Holmes, and popular TV, movie and video game tie-ins.
During that time, star creators Erik Larsen, Rob Liefeld, and Jim Valentino had dinner with Olbrich, who expressed interest in publishing comics created by them.
These and several other freelance artists doing popular work for Marvel Comics were growing frustrated with the company's work for hire policies and practices, which they felt did not sufficiently reward the talent that produced them, as the company heavily merchandised their artwork, and compensated them with modest royalties.
By early 1992 a group of eight creators, including Larsen, Liefeld, and Valentino, announced the founding of Image Comics; the initial titles were produced under the Image imprint, but published through Malibu, which provided administrative, production, distribution, and marketing support.
Within a few months, the Image titles' success led to Malibu having almost 10% of the North American comics market share, briefly exceeding that of industry giant DC Comics.
Nonetheless, the company's assets were still seen as attractive enough to garner interest from DC Comics in the spring of 1994, and the company was purchased by Marvel Comics on November 3, 1994.
He operated the Dogg Works Agency (with Gary Guzzo) from 2002 to 2005, at which point he left to co-found The Pack, a book packager at which he partnered with Brian Augustyn, Barbara Kesel, Lee Nordling, and Gordon Kent.
Since 2009 Olbrich has been an executive at Space Goat Productions, a talent management and production studio that provides art and creative services for companies like Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse.
In 2015, as Space Goat moved into publishing comics under its own name, Olbrich was promoted from Vice President to Senior VP, Publishing and Business Affairs.

The Ghetto of Mantua was the former enclosed Jewish quarter or ghetto in the city of Mantua, region of Lombardy, Italy.
The Jewish community in Mantua rose to prominence under the rule of the Gonzaga; documents date at least their presence to the 12th century.
By the start of the 17th-century, they putatively numbered over 2,000 individuals and accounted for nearly 7.5% of the population of Mantua.
The area comprised by streets now named Dottrina Cristiana, Pomponazzo, Calvi, Spagnoli and Giustiziati was enclosed by four gates that were closed from dusk to dawn.
The situation of Jews in Mantua worsened in 1629-1630 during the siege and subsequent sack of Mantua during the War of the Mantuan Succession; the city was afflicted with the plague, when after months of siege, in July 1630, Mantua was sacked for three days by mercenary Landsknecht troops led by Count Aldringen and Gallas fighting for Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor.
With deposition of Duke Ferdinando Carlo Gonzaga by 1707 by the Hapsburg Emperor Joseph I, some civil liberties were granted to the Jews.
However, abolition of the Ghetto gates did not occur until the Napoleonic invasions in 1798, thus allowing Jews to live freely through the town.
The area of the Ghetto is no longer a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, and there are few structural and geographic details that recall the prior history.

General Glover Farm is a historic 1700s farmhouse on a 2.4 acre property on the Marblehead - Swampscott - Salem border.
Originally owned by a British Loyalist William Browne prior to the American Revolution, it was confiscated by the colonial Massachusetts government.
After the war General John Glover, who had lived at the Glover House in Marblehead, purchased the property and retired here after his military service.
It continued to be used as a farm, until it eventually became the Glover Inn with an addition built on the back of the 1700s house, and along with many of the surrounding outbuildings.
The Inn lasted until 1955, when in 1957 it opened as the General Glover House Restaurant by Anthony Athanas Various additions were added on to the main house, with the multiple dinning rooms and bars themed to a colonial inn.
Along with the historic original 1700s farmhouse, many of the other historic buildings remain intact on the property at 299 Salem Street.
He began working at Clark, Payne & Co., an oil refining firm, in 1863, which was later taken over by Standard Oil in 1870.
In Cleveland, his business endeavors included gaining partial ownership of a fleet of lake ships, becoming vice president of the Cleveland Stone Company, and serving on the Cleveland City Council for 13 years.
He formed the John Huntington Benevolent Trust in 1889, mostly based on his 500 shares of Standard Oil stock, which provided charity to more than 40 institutions and helped to establish the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Huntington owned a hobby farm on Lake Erie on which he built several structures, including a house, a water tower, and a steam pump irrigation system.
After his death in 1893, the Cleveland Metropolitan Park System purchased the lakefront property and named it Huntington Park in his honor.
Otto Ludwig (* 29 November 1934 ; † 17 August 2014 in Basel) was a German footballer who played for FC Basel during the late 1950s and early 60s.
He played his Nationalliga A debut on 31 August 1958 in the away game against La Chaux-de-Fonds that Basel lost 2–1.
Two goals after half time, one by Heinz Blumer and the second from Ludwig himself gave Basel a 2–0 victory and their third Cup win in the clubs history.
His FCB period ended on 9 June 1963 in the last championship game of that season against FC Sion with an 8-1.
Between the years 1955 to 1960 and 1961 to 1963 Ludwig played a total of 92 games for Basel scoring a total of 17 goals.
55 of these games were in the Swiss Serie A, 12 in the Swiss Cup, five in the UEFA Intertoto Cup and 20 were friendly games.
He scored 9 goal in the domestic league, one in the Swiss Cup, two in the UEFA Intertoto Cup and the other five were scored during the test games.
Despite winning the Cup title, in the summer of 1963 Ludwig then moved on to Schaffhausen who also played in the Nationalliga A.
He was a capable player, who became a real crowd favorite of his time, probably due to his rather small body size.
The episode, directed by Jerry Zaks from a story and teleplay by Lew Schneider, originally aired on CBS on November 11, 2002.
He initially gets along with the parents, but becomes flustered with the kid, who eats the last cannoli in the fridge that Ray originally wanted.
However, Debra is very committed to starting a new friend and doesn't want Ray's opinion towards Spencer to ruin it; she dismisses Ray's claims as nothing more than a hatred for kids, and tells him to suck it up.
When Ray and Debra tell Ally to play on the computer and Spencer, Geoffrey and Michael to play somewhere else, Spencer announces he'll jump on the beds.
When the family leaves, Lauren and Neil also notice Spencer being unable to follow his parents' order, and both Debra and Ray ultimately agree not to have the Williamsons back over.
For acting in the episode, Buford was nominated for a Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV Comedy or Drama Series (Guest Starring Young Actor Age Ten or Younger).

The first newspaper north of Toronto was published August 6, 1847, though because it was truly a time of pioneer printing it was actually a week later due to a delay in being able to print the second side of the paper.
Davies was accompanied in this task by William R. Robertson, though Robertson would only stay with the paper for three months.
The northern terminus of this rail, the Huron & Simcoe Railway constructed in 1851, would lead to the creation of Collingwood.
The four-page paper contained the standard items found in papers of the day, editorials and readers’ letters on the second page, local news in the back.
There was a great demand for foreign news, despite it being weeks old on reaching Canada, by recent settlers wanting to know of their former homelands.
The paper historically served the communities of Adjala, Bradford, Bracebridge, Collingwood, East Gwillimbury, Essa, Gravenhurst, Innisfill, Oro, Tossorontio, Ivy, Mono Road, Keenansville, Hawkestone, Stroud, Anten Mills, Thornton, Midhurst, Utopia, Holly, Craighurst, Medonte and Barrie.
Samuel Wesley and Robert King stated their continued upholding of the Liberal Conservative tack of the paper and dedication as a family journal of literature, accurate reporting of farmers’ markets, and offering of legal documents from the offices.
Wesley is mentioned in articles about local baseball, William Boys’ Central Committee, the Sons of Temperance, and the 1897 Canadian Sessional Papers, speaking on the sleepiness of springtime Black Bass in Lake Simcoe.
Mr. King left the paper within a few years and has the distinction of being the longest-serving chief of police in Barrie, holding the post from 1888 to 1923.
Thompson was born in 1868, the son of previous owner Daniel, and ran the paper with Wesley until his retirement in the November 4th, 1909 issue.
The nearest settlements to Darbankhi are the city of Gudermes in the south-east, Ilinovskaya in the south-west, Vinogradnoye in the north-west, Chervlennaya-Uzolvaya in the north, and Braguny in the north-east.
In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Istisu-Khutor was renamed, and settled by people from the neighbouring republic of Dagestan and other regions.
In 1977, by a decree of the Presidium of the Armed Forces of the RSFSR, the village at the railway crossing of Braguny, was renamed from Istisu-Khutor and was given its modern name, Darbankhi.
According to the results of the 2010 Census, the majority of residents of Darbankhi (1,080 or 51.4%) were ethnic Chechens, 1,005 (47,8%) were ethnic Kumyks, and 16 people (0,8%) did not specify.

A megafire is an extraordinary fire triggering very large fires devastating a very large area, of the minimum order of to , without this designation corresponding to a very precise scientific definition.
Megafires are only 3% of the fires but are responsible for more than 50% of the burned surfaces on the planet.
Almost all (96%) of the most disastrous 500 megafires in the past decade have occurred during periods of unusual heat and/or drought.
They cause giant thunderstorms, lightly charged with rain but with a strong potential for lightning and by touching the ground, they create new fires.
The fusion of fires between them can create a mega-fire, as during the bushfires of 2019-2020 in Australia, where cases of many fires joining in a gigantic brazier were noted.
A megafire can be caused by various factors, such as high temperatures, drought, human pressure and the state of the forests.
By the end of the 19th century, Eastern Canada had essentially run out of marketable timber due to unsustainable logging techniques, land clearing for settlement and agriculture, and an increase in forest fires caused by settlement.
In 1899, the Minister of the Interior Clifford Sifton appointed Elihu Stewart as the Chief Inspector of Timber and Forestry for the Dominion of Canada.
Stewart's job was to protect undisturbed federal forests from unsustainable logging and settlement practices, and to revitalize lands that had already been deforested.
Before 1905, the Porcupine Hills were located entirely within the Northwest Territories in the District of Saskatchewan, which meant that the Porcupine Forest was under full federal control.
By 1901, a fire ranging service was established in Western Canada, and plans were made to determine which areas could be used for agriculture, and which areas would be left as forest.
Unlike the five eastern provinces and British Columbia, the three Prairie Provinces were not given control over their own natural resources.
So even though Saskatchewan owned the land beneath the forest, they could not build infrastructure or settlements, or cut any wood, without permission of the Federal Government.
In 1906, the Canadian Government passed the first Dominion Forest Reserves Act which officially established the Porcupine Forest Reserve as a National Forest.
Many of the first rangers were either Forestry Engineers from the University of New Brunswick, World War I veterans, or both.
By 1914, the new forest reserve was overseen by 11 Rangers, and 1 Ranger-in-Charge, and these rangers also oversaw the Pasquia Forest Reserve.
In 1930, the Saskatchewan Natural Resources Act was passed, which transferred control of Saskatchewan Forests (and other natural resources) from the Federal Government to the Saskatchewan Government.
née Park (1921–2017), 31st Moderator of the United Church of Canada from 1986 to 1988, was the first female lay person elected to that post.

The facility, which was created by converting an early 19th century neo-gothic style house into a hospital, opened as the Richmond Cottage Hospital in 1899.

The organization is built on a network of individuals, businesses, and schools who either donate monitarily or volunteer to help plant trees around the world.
One Tree Planted works with other NGOs and governmental agencies including the United States Forest Service (USFS) and several State Forest Services and Regional Conservation Districts.
OTP has since expanded its activity via collaborations with other environmental groups in the US and globally, actively participating in various reforestation projects.
In January, 2020, the charity started to participate in reforestation of Australia following devastating bushfires in Queensland, New South Wales and other regions.
One Tree Planted's policy is based on 6 principles (or 6 pillars) of sustainable planet environment: Air, Water, Biodiversity, Social Impact, Health and Climate.
One Tree Planted is based out of Shelbourne, Vermont and operates across four regions: North America, Latin America, Africa and Asia.
One Tree Planted acts as an intermediary for tree planting by collecting donations from individuals, businesses and other organizations then allocating the funds to its reforestation partners for specific projects.
The partners (environmental NGOs, small conservation organizations, watershed groups and local governmental agencies) use the funds to plant trees in areas they are needed most.Part of the One Tree Planted strategy is to give businesses the opportunity to do more as part of their corporate social responsibility, and give back to the environment.
One Tree Planted has collaborated in reforestation efforts with organizations such as the United States Forest Service, U.S. State Forest and Conservation Districts GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Warner Music Group, DHL and more.
According to Timothy Wai Keung Chan, 'the Chinese riddle originates in far antiquity and reached its mature form around the Warring States Period (475-221 BCE)'.
However, few riddles are attested in ancient Chinese literature, possibly because Chinese scholarship viewed the form as inappropriate to highbrow literature.
Although character riddles are not attested until around the second century CE, other enigmatic writings are attested from as early as the Han dynasty, which began in 206 BCE.
Among its meanings is the state of Cao Wei; thus the text can be read as an enigma whose solution is that Cao Wei will overcome the Han Dynasty and take over its empire.
Reputedly the earliest surviving example of a character riddle is the 'Yellow Pongee Riddle', a famous text sometimes attributed to the second-century CE scholar Cai Yong, but at any rate thought to originate no later than the early fourth century.
In this tradition, the answer to the riddle is to be established through years of meditation, informed by Zen thought, as part of a process of seeking enlightenment.
To give a later Japanese example of the form by Hakuin Ekaku (1686-1769), 'two hands clap and there is a sound.
In the twentieth century, thousands of Chinese riddles and similar enigmas have been collected, capitalising on the large number of homophones in Chinese.
He was also bailiff, chamberlain, councillor, and sheriff of his native York, the first two positions held by his father Richard (died 1409).
It spans from a circumvailling Piazza Virgilliana street, fed from Piazza dei Filipinni by Via Virgilio, and stretching northwest towards Lago di Mezzo (part of Mincio River), from which it is separated by a wall and a span of the busy SS62 highway.
The park has a number of tree-lined trails, and commemorative statues, most prominent of which is a monument to Virgil with flanking fountains.
Prior to the Neapolitan occupation of Mantua, the region was a swampy inlet of the waters of Lago di Mezzo, and was occupied in part by the suppressed monastery of Sant'Agnese and an embankment on which was the church of Santa Maria dell'Argine.
In 1797, the occupying French general, Sextius Alexandre François de Miollis, filled in the swamp and entrusted Paolo Pozzo to design a park for ambulation with marble benches along rows of trees.
This Piazza Virgiliana was inaugurated on March 21, 1801, and displayed a bronze bust of the Ancient Roman poet atop a high column, placed near the site of the present monument.
With the return of Hapsburg rule in the 19th-century, the monument was disassembled in 1821, and the bust ended up in the Municipal building.
Further reconstruction was spurred by the economist and senator Giovanni Arrivabene, who by 1877, had established a committee to celebrate in Mantua the 1900th anniversary of the death of Virgil, who had been born in Mantua.
Ultimately in 1919 the amphitheater was demolished and the current Carrara marble monument designed by the architect Luca Beltrami was erected with a large bronze statue by Milanese sculptor Emilio Quadrelli.
The final cost exceeded one million lire, of which 400,000 lire had been collected by the Committee established fifty years earlier, and to which were added contributions from the municipality of Mantua and the Italian state.
It is located south-east of Tennant Creek.It has a population of 166 (2016 Census) and is on the country of the Alyawarr people.

Libuše Dušková (; née Mehlová, born 27 January 1930) is a Czech linguist specializing in the fields of contrastive analysis of English grammar and functional syntax, member of the Prague Linguistic Circle and key representative of the Prague School of Linguistics.
Her research spans a broad spectrum of topics in English linguistics, namely the verb phrase, the noun phrase, simple and complex sentences, the grammar-text interface, and aspects of the theory of Functional Sentence Perspective viewed through the prism of Jan Firbas' approach.
Libuše Dušková’s keen interest in the study of languages, and English, specifically goes back to her secondary school years in Česká Třebová.
A top-notch Gymnasium student, with a wide range of hobbies including piano, which she seriously considered studying at the conservatoire after passing the final exams, she was persuaded by her sister Hana to take also private lessons of English, in addition to the foreign languages taught at the Gymnasium: German, Latin and French.
After leaving the grammar school, her day-to-day contact with English intensified, and in 1949 she enrolled at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University to study English in combination with Czech.
There, through lectures and seminars given by direct disciples of Vilém Mathesius—Josef Vachek, Ivan Poldauf, Zdeněk Vančura and Bohumil Trnka—she gained a solid knowledge of not only the English and Czech grammatical systems, but also the principles laid out by the Prague School of Linguistics.
She graduated in 1953, in an era when the Communist regime held a tight grip over the country’s economic and political system, destroying any chances for her to study English at the postgraduate level.
She managed to get a position as a lecturer of English at the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, which set off a thirty-year-long intermezzo before her return in 1985 to the English Department of the Faculty of Arts.
Besides teaching English at the Academy’s language departments, she steadily and consistently explored the intricacies of English grammar, always considering them against Czech corpus data and from the structuralist and functionalist perspective.
Her publications since that period include not only research papers, but also English language coursebooks and practical English grammars, many of which are still popular and in use even today owing to their didactic excellence.
Consequently, it attempts to present language facts in a consistent theoretical framework which draws on domestic linguistic traditions (of English, general linguistic and Czech studies), as well as on English studies abroad.
In 1989, the fall of the oppressive regime in Czechoslovakia brought the much deserved recognition to Libuše Dušková for her academic achievements, first in 1990 by the Faculty of Arts granting her the title of Associate Professor (Docent) and the Czech Academy of Sciences the title of DrSc.
Libuše Dušková is the only Czech Anglicist whose work is referenced in A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language, as well as in Longman Grammar of Spoken and Written English.

The Netherlands Maritime Special Operations Forces (NLMARSOF, also simply referred to as MARSOF) is the special forces unit of the Marine Corps of the Royal Netherlands Navy.
It is one of the three principal units tasked with special operations in the Netherlands (the others being the Korps Commandotroepen (KCT) of the Royal Netherlands Army and the Brigade Speciale Beveiligingsopdrachten (BSB) of the Royal Marechaussee).
The unit can be deployed worldwide under any circumstance to conduct special operations, including counter-terrorism both overseas and domestically, with a maritime focus.
The unit was created in 2013 with the merger of the Unit Interventie Mariniers (UIM) and the Maritime Speciale Operations (MSO)-company.
Until 2008, the Dutch maritime SOF capability consisted of three distinct units: the Dutch Frogmen Platoon, the Mountain Leader Reconnaissance Troop, and the Unit Intervention Marines.
The Mountain Leader Reconnaissance Troop (ML Recce Troop), was established in 1990 and modeled after the Brigade Patrol Troop of the UK Royal Marines.
The Unit Intervention Marines (UIM), named Bijzondere Bijstandseenheid (Special Support Unit) until 2006, was formed on 22 February 1973, in response to a rising threat of terrorist attacks in both Europe and domestically.
In 2008, the Dutch Frogmen Platoon and the ML Recce Troop merged into the Maritime Special Operations Company (MSO-Coy) and were tasked with all amphibious operations for the Royal Netherlands Navy.
All new personnel for NLMARSOF is recruited from within the Netherlands Marine Corps ranks, there is no possibility for civilians or military personnel from other branches to join NLMARSOF.
After the MSOF-course, all recruits must complete the fourteen-week Nationale Interventie Opleiding (National Intervention Course), which focuses on domestic counter-terrorist scenarios.
Operators bound for C-Squadron will have to complete the Mountain Leader or the twelve-week Frogmen course to obtain operational status within C-Squadron.
M-Squadron was founded as the Bijzondere Bijstandseenheid (BBE, Special Support Unit) in 1972 and was the first dedicated counter-terrorism unit in the Netherlands.
Its establishment was deemed necessary after a rise of the terrorist threat level in Europe, such as the Munich Massacre, and domestically, such as the terrorist attacks committed by Moluccans.
Domestic operations conducted by M-Squadron take place under the command of the Dienst Speciale Interventies (DSI) of the Dutch National Police since 2006.
While the operational command resides with the DSI, M-Squadron continues to be an organisational unit of NLMARSOF and the Netherlands Marine Corps.
C-Squadron conducts operations outside of the Netherlands and consists of regular NLMARSOF-operators that have completed the MSOF- and NIO-training, and operators that have completed the additional Mountain Leader and/or Frogmen training.

The is an archaeological site containing late Heian to early Kamakura period kilns located in what is now part of the city of Tahara, Aichi in the Tōkai region of Japan.
This site is the ruin of a Sue ware pottery production site approximately four kilometers southeast of the modern city center of Tahara, in a hilly forest.
After World War II, many ruins of kilns have been discovered in the Atsumi Peninsula dating from the late Heian period to the early Kamakura period, thus shedding light on the origins of several styles of pottery which until now have been uncertain.
Other important characters are its basal leaves that are reduced in length and the relatively short lower glumes of its spikelets.
This species has predominately been collected from sandstone-derived mountain slopes, but a few collections have also been made from sites with shale parent material.
It is a rare surviving example of a fortified temple/monastery from the Sengoku period and as such, the temple grounds have been designated as Historic Site of Japanin 2016.The temple is also known as the .

Mickey creates music by pulling the tails of baby pigs, and a horse plays drums on the rear end of a cow.
At the end of the short, Mickey -- tired of being hassled by a cow's tail -- ties the tail to a bucket of water, and the cow upends the bucket on Mickey's head.
This is the first cartoon to include a horse and a cow that will soon evolve into Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow, two members of Mickey's early supporting cast.
It has been noted that this cartoon is an early example of the cinematic cliche of a conductor tapping his baton on the music stand to indicate to the orchestra that the song is about to begin, an action which never happens in actual concert performing.
In the former, a cow flautist has her udders dangling into the foreground, forming an obstacle as Mickey tries to lead his rustic orchestra, while another cow's rear becomes an instrument for the drummer.

The free standing bell tower is the only surviving part of Evesham Abbey, which was founded by Saint Egwin between 700 and 710 AD.
In 1513, Clement Lichfield built the St Clement chantry of in All Saints Church, Evesham and in 1514, he became Abbott of Evesham Abbey.
Records show in 1204, the Abbey's central tower collapsed and again in 1264, so this may have been part of the decision to build a free standing bell tower instead, as at Chichester Cathedral.
It is unknown when the tower was completed, but it was certainly finished by 1539 when Evesham Abbey was surrendered as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
Over the next few years, the Abbey, which was known to be one of the richest monasteries in England, was dismantled completely, apart from, curiously, the then new bell tower.
In 1664, the four bells from the neighbouring churches of All Saints and St Lawrence were recast and added to the two bells already in the Bell Tower, giving a peal of six bells.
In 1741, Abel Rudhall recast five of the six bells, keeping the largest bell from 1631, and casting two new bells to augment them to eight bells.
The resulting ring was still considered to be poor compared to many rings being turned out by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough during the time, so in 1951, the present ring of bells was created by recasting all ten bells at Taylor's foundry in Loughborough and augmenting them to twelve.
Two semitone bells were cast later by Taylor's, one in 1976 and one in 1992, which enables a light ring of ten bells to be rung without using the three heaviest bells.

Rupiamma was a Great Satrap in India during the 2nd century CE, who is known from an inscription found at Pauni in Central India, south of the Narmada river.
This memorial pillar is thought to mark the southern extent of the conquests of the Western Satraps, much beyond the traditionally held boundary of the Narmada River.
There are no coins of Rupiamma known, but coins belonging to the Western Satraps (Rudrasimha) were also discovered in the ruins of Buddhist stupas at Pauni.
A few dozen donative inscriptions in the Brahmi script have been found at the site of Pauni, in a style similar to the inscriptions of Bharhut and Sanchi.
If Rupiamma belonged to the Kushan hierarchy, this would suggest that Kushan control extended this far south, beyond the generally accepted southern boudary formed by the Narmada river.
According to the recently discovered Rabatak inscription, Kushan dominions expanded into the heartland of northern India in the early 2nd century CE.
Lines 4 to 7 of the inscription describe the cities which were under the rule of Kanishka, among which six names are identifiable: Ujjain, Kundina, Saketa, Kausambi, Pataliputra, and Champa (although the text is not clear whether Champa was a possession of Kanishka or just beyond it).

On 2 January 2020, Hernando joined Racing Santander on loan from Real Madrid B. Hernando made his professional debut with Racing Santander in a 1-0 Segunda División loss to Cádiz CF on 24 January 2020.
Baidyapur Jora Deul is a 16th century temple at Baidyapur in the Kalna II CD block in the Kalna subdivision of the Purba Bardhaman district in the Indian state of West Bengal.
According to the List of Monuments of National Importance in West Bengal the two ancient temples (joined together) at Baidyapur is a monument of national importance.
David J. McCutchion mentions the Bengal deul (1598) with terracotta designs on four sides, the Jora Shiva temple and Shiva temple of the Nandi family (1802) with rich terracotta façade, the straight corniced navaratna temple (1845) of Vrindavana Chandra with plaster festoons and the brick-built, ridged twin deul Krishna temple (1598) with rich terracotta on all sides.
The assassination paved the way for his ally Prince Min Nyo of Kale to seize the Ava throne three months later.
Yet he never submitted to Thado, and exerted pressure on Ava by actively supporting the rebellion of Prince Minye Kyawhtin to the 1440s.
While Tho Kyaung Bwa was married to a niece of King Minkhaung I of Ava, and Le Than Bwa was offered the throne of Ava by Queen Shin Bo-Me, the chronicles do not explicitly say that Le Than Bwa was of Ava royal descent.
His principality marked the limit of Ava's sphere of influence as it was located next to Hsenwi, on the Chinese side.
Though he ruled a peripheral state, Le Than Bwa would prove to be a central player in a scheme that plunged Ava into a deep political turmoil for the next two decades.
Le Than Bwa became involved the palace intrigues in 1425 when he was recruited by Queen Shin Bo-Me to assassinate King Thihathu.
Chronicles say that although Bo-Me planned to place her lover Prince Min Nyo of Kale on the throne, she initially tried to win over Le Than Bwa by dangling the possibility of his taking over the throne.
Although Le Than Bwa realized that the court would probably not agree to his kingship given senior princes like Prince Nyo waiting in the wing, he nonetheless agreed to execute Bo-Me's scheme.
In August 1425, Le Than Bwa and his men ambushed and killed Thihathu at Aung Pinle (modern Amarapura, Mandalay), the location Bo-Me provided.
When Thado's forces broke through Thray Sithu's defenses, Le Than Bwa took over the overall command of the army at Sagaing, across the river from Ava.
Other vassal rulers who manned the positions around Ava—the rulers of Toungoo, Taungdwin and Pakhan—too renounced their ties to Nyo, and withdrew to their respective regions.
He tried to overthrow Thado by actively backing the rebellion of Prince Minye Kyawhtin, who had a strong claim to the throne.
The 1427–1428 expedition gained control of Pinle, a well defended town with high brick walls at the edge of the Ava capital region.
Ava was so preoccupied with several rebellions around the core region that it could do nothing about the peripheral states like Onbaung.
Indeed, after multiple failed expeditions around the core region in 1430–1434, Thado ceased all military operations for the rest of his reign (to 1439).
By 1443, Thado's successors kings Minye Kyawswa I and Narapati I had defeated long running rebellions in the north and in the south, leaving Pinle as the only holdout.
In 1445, he personally went to Sagaing to attend the opening ceremony of the Htupayon Pagoda that King Narapati had just built.
His son Kham Yut Bwa succeeded but the son shortly after was driven out by one of the vassal lords supported by the Shan state of Yat Sauk.
The army was initially driven back by the combined forces of Yat Sauk, Naung-Mun, Mong Nai, and Nyaungshwe (southern Shan states) but eventually prevailed, and restored Kham Yut Bwa to the Onbaung throne.
The first two-thirds of his professional career spans forty years, a diverse body of architectural work found throughout Saskatchewan including designs for schools and hospitals, chapels and churches, motel and apartment buildings, private residences, buildings for corporations and health spas, dairy creameries in Regina and Saskatoon, and a Trans-Canada Highway campground.
Wiens achieved his greatest prominence after Expo 67, winning three Massey Award medals, Canada's top award for architecture, more than any other Saskatchewan architect, and two National Design Council of Canada Awards.
Despite being recognized as one of one of Canada's best architects, some of Wiens' projects are in need of restoration and protection as they are slowly declining into disrepair.
His Mennonite family put a strong emphasis on self-reliance, and while growing up he developed the wide range of wood frame construction, metalworking and mechanical skills needed for the operation of their farm.
Jackson at the Banff Centre for Continuing Education and agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon under a wheat pool sponsorship program for young farmers, and machine tooling at the Moose Jaw Technical School.
At the same time, he developed close intellectual, artistic and friendship links with the Regina Five, some of Canada's most acclaimed and advanced abstract painters of the period.
Over a period of forty years, the firm completed more than a hundred projects including a series of schools, creameries and fire halls.
In 1958, Wiens began work on what is considered to be his first important project, St. Joseph's, a Roman Catholic church in Whitewood.
Wiens designed sculptor and chandler John Nugent's studio located on a 2.7-hectare parcel of land that forms the north slope of the Qu'Appelle Valley in Lumsden.
Wiens used various types of concrete construction, the structure consisting of a candlemaking studio and a circular foundry with a thin-shelled conical roof, constructed of pre-tensioned, thin-shell concrete, and connected to a fan-shaped sculpture that appears to float on a band of glass at its base.
Sections of concrete culverts were used for the window openings, illustrating the combination of manufactured elements with crafted elements characterizing the overall nature of the structure.
The studio was constructed over successive weekends in one year by Nugent and Wiens, with help from artists Kenneth Lochhead (one of the Regina Five) and Roy Kiyooka.
The same year, Wiens designed offices of Regina's largest private employer, IPSCO Steel, and began a decade of service as the president of the Regina Chapter of Architects (1960-1969).
Some of the structures at the campground feature square plans with roofs supported on a rotated cross structure similar to John Nugent's studio and the Silton chapel.
Wiens garnered several national, binational, and international awards, namely the Merit Award and Award of Excellence from the National Design Council of Canada (1967), the Precast Concrete Institute Award (U.S. and Canada, 1967), two more Massey Medals (1967 and 1970), and an award co-sponsored by the American Institute of Architects in 1975.
The University of Regina Heating and Cooling Plant is distinguished by a unique A-frame form of exposed pre-cast concrete and corten steel.
Called the architect's masterpiece by Ian Chodikoff, the Plant is an example of innovative and expressive modernist architecture, quickly becoming a city landmark, recognized with a Massey Medal in 1970 and again in 2011 with the Prix du XXe siècle in 2011.
A comment by the jury reads:The Heating and Cooling Plant embodies the successful marriage of sophisticated structural design, contemporary materials, adaptation of plan and section to function, and expressive form that was the goal of the best of modern architecture.
The direct and unadorned industrial materials, their natural colours and simple forms reflect the utilitarian agricultural equipment and structures of the prairie farms with which Wiens was familiar, while the bold silhouette of the building recalls that ubiquitous prairie landmark, the grain elevator.
When Wiens took the stage in Vancouver to receive the award, he remarked that he would gladly trade the award for the chance to have his project maintained as he had originally designed it, at which the audience applauded robustly.
Consecrated as Our Lady of the Lake Chapel (Archdiocese of Regina), located near the village of Silton, a short drive from Lumsden, or about 45 minutes from Regina, on a bench of land just below the brow of the embankment overlooking Last Mountain Lake at Saskatchewan Beach is an outdoor or summer chapel without walls.
Wiens designed a pyramidal roof which appears to hover or float above the congregational area, supported by glulam support beams held up on concrete pillars, a natural boulder underneath serving as an altar, while a small cast-concrete pillbox provides a vestiary and the baptismal fount filled with water running off the cedar-shingled cantilevered roof down an iron chain serving as an improvised drainpipe.
The chapel's seemingly floating corners were suspended by tension rods embedded in the wood-frame structure of the roof, and require periodic adjustment; the rods in turn are connected to a compression plate at the apex, transferring the load of the corners to the top, then down the roof structure to the glulam beams.
In 2011, the chapel was vandalized, and when heritage conservation architect Bernard Flaman went to investigate the damage, he found the chapel was in danger of collapse from a slump in the valley hillside.
The chapel was saved from imminent collapse by a single post hastily placed below the sagging north beam, though more work needed to be done.
By September 2011, there were concerns that the Church would opt to demolish the chapel rather than have the chapel designated a heritage site.
In November 2015, Flaman wrote the community's efforts to raise funds and awareness had failed to generate the necessary amount to repair the building.
Because construction was scheduled for winter when the ground is frozen the design called for only the centre pole to penetrate the ground, then footings were added in the spring.
The other project that Flaman said displays a dramatic leap in scale is the Regina headquarters of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, a facility which was originally expected to have opened in 1979-80.
The work forms a galleria to view the dome of the Legislative Building (which Wiens finished renovating at the end of the previous decade).
In late February 2019, the Saskatchewan Government announced plans to acquire the building for the purpose of turning it into a centralized provincial archive; the CBC would continue to operate in parts of the builing under a lease.
She performed again at the 2007 venue, the MacKenzie Art Gallery, where a second symposium took place and Clifford Wiens led a tour of some of his buildings in the Regina area.
Around the time Wiens was awarded the Prix du XXe siècle (2011) for his work on the Heating and Cooling Plant, Wiens found it difficult to maintain an active practice due to illness, and began a new career in writing.
Further afield, Wiens was a visiting professor at the University of Manitoba (1968), the University of Calgary (1977), and the University of British Columbia (1985).
Since winding down the Regina company and moving to Vancouver, he has served as a visiting professor at the University of Arizona and Arizona State University.
Since retirement, Wiens has written and published several books: professional and personal memoirs, poetry and joke books, and edited collections of correspondence.
There's a line going right through as if the building is floating... What belongs to the ground belongs to the ground and what belongs to the sky belongs to the sky and they all just meet on the horizon line.
Robin Poitras, second of their six children and wife of Métis artist Edward Poitras, became a dancer (Regina Modern Dance Works, and later New Dance Horizons in Regina, which she co-founded in 1986), performance and installation artist.
The only son, Nathan, became a naturalistic designer, best known as a craftsman of custom wood furniture pieces based in Vancouver.
The reconstituted municipality consisted of a chairman and six councillors, with two auditors, increasing to nine councillors in 1898 due to a rising population.
The municipality built a town hall on Albany Highway as their new headquarters in 1899, opening on 11 September that year.
In 1904, the municipality signed an agreement with Perth Electric Tramways Ltd to extend the tramway line into Victoria Park, with the council raising a loan for the construction of the line and the company paying the council to operate it, with the intention of the company taking the line over when the cost of construction had been repaid.
The agreement saw the tramway successfully extended into the suburb, and instead of being taken over by the company, the municipality sold the tramway to the state government in 1913 for £5,212.
The council was divided up into wards on 22 December 1904, with three wards (East, Central and West) each having three councillors.
The amalgamation had been amicable, supported by both councils as well as receiving support from Victoria Park ratepayers at a referendum on 22 November 1916.
The Donetsk Gubernatorial Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine, commonly referred to as the Donetsk CPU gubkom, was a regional branch of the Communist Party of (Bolsheviks) Ukraine in Donetsk Governorate.
The Donetsk Governorate was established on 5 February 1920 out of parts of Yekaterinoslav Governorate, Kharkov Governorate, and Don Host Oblast.
The Donetsk Governorate was initially split into 7 okruhas centered in following cities: Bakhmut, Luhansk, Mariupol, Yuzovka, Starobilsk, Taganrog, and Shakhty.

The duo defeated Hip Hop Man and Mr. Electro in the first round, then defeated Demonio's longtime rival Dragón Fly and Villano IV in the semi-finals, before losing to Black Terry and El Diablo Jr. in the finals of the tournament.
Due to the loss Demonio and Freelance had to face each other immediately, with Freelance losing the match and also losing his hair as a result.
Near the end of 2019, Demonio Infernal became involved in a storyline feud against Fresero Jr., which included Demonio Infernal successfully defending the Rey del Ring Championship against Fresero Jr. On the October 27 IWRG show Fresero Jr. helped El Hijo de Canis Lupus defend the IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship against Demonio Infernal by interfering in the match.
William Wallinder (born 28 July 2002) is a Swedish ice hockey defenceman currently playing for Modo Hockey of the Swedish HockeyAllsvenskan.
In 1412/13, he reported to the Ava court that his Shan-speaking state had come under attack from the neighboring Shan state of Hsenwi (Theinni), backed by Ming China.
In 1934, a copy of the poem written by Coleridge himself sometime before its publication in 1816 was discovered in a private library.
The so-called Crewe Manuscript was sent by Coleridge to his sister-in-law Mrs. Southey, who later gave it or sold it to a private autograph collector.

It was succeeded by electoral districts of the same name in the House of Commons of Canada and the Legislative Assembly of Quebec.
Items of her work are in the permanent collections of the National Library of New Zealand, the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and the Museum Theatre Gallery Hawke's Bay.
When she was 5 years old, she started sketching; a family member gave her a paint set and she began to paint in watercolours.
Brenkley was also a wood carver and produced domestic items such as tables, fire screens, umbrella stands, bookends, paperknives, breadboards, decorated boxes and eggcups.
Brenkley admired Māori culture and many of her items feature artistic elements of Māori style, such as using pāua shell for the eyes of carved figures.
A piece of her wood carving work was displayed in the Women's Section of the New Zealand Centennial Exhibition in 1939.
He served curacies at St Martin, Potternewton, Leeds from 1991 to 1994 and at St Chad, Far Headingley, Leeds from 1994 to 1996; and was Vicar at St Edmund King and Martyr, Roundhay from 1996 to 2007.

Lin Zonghu (; 13 May 1933 – 21 December 2019) was a Chinese thermal engineer and professor at Xi'an Jiaotong University.
When Chen Xuejun established China's first university major in boilers, Lin entered the program as the country's first graduate student in the field.
Lin followed his advisor Chen Xuejun and most of the mechanical engineering department and moved to Xi'an, where he spent most of his career.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Lin spent three years researching gas-liquid two-phase flow measurements, and published his findings in the International Journal of Multiphase Flow in 1982.
He was awarded the State Natural Science Award (Third Class), the State Science and Technology Progress Award (Second Class), and nine minister- and provincial-level science and technology prizes.
Ryuun Daimai (born 1872 as Ryumoto Daimai - June 26, 1916) was a Japanese serial killer and rapist, active during the Taishō era.
When he was 7 years old, he was sent to a temple in Ōita Prefecture to be taken care of by the abbot.
In 1890, the priest passed away, and Daimai left the temple to train judo at a dojo in Kumamoto Prefecture, as a uchi-deshi.
During the First Sino-Japanese War, which broke out in 1894, he volunteered for the military, but got his nose disfigured due to sustained injuries from a land mine.
Daimai's crimes following his imprisonment became increasingly cruel and brutal, invading nunneries to rape and rob the nuns, and in some cases kill them, setting the structures ablaze to hide his crimes.
The judiciary recorded three robbery-murders, five rapes, seven robberies and nine thefts, but the actual number of rapes and murders remains unknown.
Most of the rape victims were nuns, some of them average worshippers or miko, and others were affected regardless of age.
It was reported that some of the victims, whom screamed too loudly, had their tongues pulled out by hand and subsequently killed.
It is said that Daimai managed to avoid arrest, despite committing crimes from Tokyo to Keihanshin, because he used different aliases.
According to contemporary accounts from the guards, he ate buns and drank tea, chewed nicotiana tabacum and was allowed to smoke.
He made one more appearance for the national team in a 2–0 victory against Switzerland at the 1970 World Cup qualifiers.
Thomas Jefferson Vance Owen (April 5, 1801 – October 15, 1835) was an American settler who was the first President of the Town of Chicago.
He was elected to serve in the 7th Illinois General Assembly for Randolph County in August 1830 and took office on December 6 in the Illinois House of Representatives.
Owen was appointed to take his place by the United States Senate on February 4, 1831, being chosen over local residents Gurdon Saltonstall Hubbard and John H. Kinzie.
Owen arrived in Chicago without having a house; the building intended to house the agent had become the property of Kinzie after Wolcott's death for having been included in James Thompson's plat of Chicago and Wolcott's subsequent inaction to stop it from falling into private hands.
Chicago officially voted to incorporate as a town on August 5, 1833, with 12 votes for and one against, the lone dissenter living outside of Chicago.
Owen died on October 15, 1835, at his home in Chicago from a pulmonary illness he had been suffering since May.
His health at that time had been compromised due to efforts of expelling Potawatomi Indians west of the Mississippi River per the Treaty of Chicago.

The Adana derby is a local derby that takes place between Adanaspor and Adana Demir, the two professional football league teams based in Adana.
Adanaspor and Adana Demir have met competitively a total of 60 times, with Adanaspor leading the meetings by 22 wins to Adana Demir's 15 wins.
Club's thriving success at the Çukurova League, built a huge worker fan base in the city and attracted landowners to finance the club.
Believing that the worker supported, landowner financed, TCDD governed club alienating the rest of the city, middle-class merchants and artisans founded Adanaspor in 1954.
Before 2000s, the West and the large East stand were shared equally by Adana Demir and Adanaspor fans, Adana Demir fans settle at the north seats of these Stands and Adanaspor fans settle at the south section.
Since 2000s, though the stadium is shared, the entire West and East Stands were open only to the fans of the official host of the derby match.
When Adana Demirspor is hosting, Adanaspor fans are only allowed to the 1600-seat South Stand and when Adanaspor is hosting, Adana Demirspor fans are only allowed to the 1600-seat North Stand.

Iva Janžurová was for her performance nominated for the Czech Lion Award for Best Actress in Leading Role during 2019 Czech Lion Awards.
The tree is traditionally regarded as the spot of the first meeting between Edward IV, king of England and leader of the Yorkist faction in the War of the Roses, and Elizabeth Woodville, the widow of John Grey of Groby, a Lancastrian commander.
The meeting is said to have taken place on 13 April 1464 and the couple were married in secret just 18 days later.
The marriage was controversial at the time as Woodville was a Lancastrian, a commoner, brought no dowry and already had children.
In spite of the legend, the couple may have met earlier when Woodville's parents served Edward's father in Normandy or when Edward stayed in Groby in 1461; however, the first recorded meeting is certainly 13 April 1464.
Woodville is said to have waited under the oak for Edward to pass by, to seek to plead for her sons' confiscated inheritances to be restored.
The tree stood to the rear of the Pottersbury Lodge and several acorns from it were recovered and planted on the estate by Henry Newton in the mid-19th century.
The lodge was sold in 1958 and became Potterspury Lodge School but much of the estate was retained as two farms which were let out.
In his early career he worked with the sculptor Alfred Stevens; he was in later life a lecturer at art colleges.
His first artistic training was gained in Sheffield under H. D. Lomas at the Sheffield School of Art, after which he was articled to the firm of H. E. Hoole & Co. in that town, whose foundry was then engaged in producing work from the designs of the sculptor Alfred Stevens.
Some years before the death of Stevens in 1875 Stannus appears to have decided to make his training more definitely architectural, and in 1872 he was studying architecture at the Royal Academy Schools.
In 1873 he passed the voluntary examination of the Royal Institute of British Architects with such distinction as to be awarded the Ashpitel Prize.
He was elected an associate of the institute in 1880 and a fellow in 1887, taking till the year of his death an active part in its meetings and committee work.
After bringing to a close Stevens's work on the Wellington monument, he was engaged simultaneously with Frederic Leighton and Edward Poynter in the preparation of a design for the decoration of the cupola of St Paul's Cathedral, which was not carried out.
Stannus's executed work consisted chiefly of structural or decorative alterations to existing buildings such as the Cutlers' Hall, the Sheffield United Gas Light Company Offices, the unitarian church, and the Channing Hall at Sheffield, the residences of Sir Edwin Durning-Lawrence at Ascot and at Carlton House Terrace, the Phoenix brewery at Bedford, a house for Mr Faber, M.P., at Beckenham, and Norman Macleod's church in Edinburgh.
He designed the Sunday School centenary memorial at Essex church (unitarian), Notting Hill, and his own house, The Cottage, Hindhead, Surrey.
When in 1903 it was decided further to complete the Wellington monument by the addition of the equestrian statue of the duke, Stannus, whose forethought had preserved Stevens's plaster model for the figure, was able to lay before the authorities several important drawings and other evidences of the original designer's intentions.
His energies were mainly absorbed from the age of forty to sixty in the work of a teacher and lecturer, to which he brought exceptional powers of analysis and great lucidity of expression.
From 1881 to 1900 he taught modelling at the Royal Academy of Art, and he held appointments as lecturer at University College London, and at the Royal College of Art, South Kensington.
For two years (1900–1902) he was director of architectural studies at the Manchester School of Art, and subsequently (1905–1907) he lectured at the evening school of the Architectural Association.
Stannus belonged to the Hellenic and Japan Societies, to the St Paul's Ecclesiological Society, to the Society of Arts and Crafts, and to that for the Preservation of Ancient Buildings.
He died at Hindhead on 18 August 1908, survived by his wife, two daughters and a son, Dr Hugh S. Stannus.
The residential red zone refers to areas of land in and around Christchurch, New Zealand, that experienced severe damage in the 2010 and 2011 Christchurch earthquakes and were deemed infeasible to rebuild on.
The majority were located in a broad swath of the eastern suburbs along the Avon River / Ōtākaro that had suffered damage from soil liquefaction.
In the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, many areas in and around Christchurch were severely affected by soil liquefaction, lateral spreading, and/or rockslides.
Some land in and around Christchurch was so damaged that the government determined that making the land safe for rebuilding would take years and require the demolition of most, if not all, buildings, and the eviction of their tenants.
The initial announcement of red zones was made on 24 June 2011, about 4 months after the February 2011 earthquake and only 11 days after the latest series of aftershocks.
By 24 June, not all properties had been assessed as red or green by that point, but the government determined that zoning most properties immediately, thus giving their owners certainty, was preferable to postponing the announcement until all decisions were complete.
By November 2014, all zones had been assessed as either red or green, so the orange and white zones were eliminated.
Most of the displaced people moved to less-damaged outer suburbs, as well as the neighboring Selwyn and Waimakariri Districts, and new subdivisions were constructed to meet the demand.
In the 2010–2011 Christchurch earthquakes, many areas of the city built on alluvial soils experienced severe soil liquefaction which damaged roads, utilities, and buildings.
The majority of red-zoned areas were in the eastern suburbs along the Avon River / Ōtākaro, downstream of Christchurch Central City.
Large sections of the town of Kaiapoi, as well as the seaside communities of The Pines Beach and Kairaki, were also affected.
Several properties in the Port Hills experienced rockslides, especially in the aftershock of 13 June, which had its epicentre in the hills.
Since many of the rockslides often occurred later than the main February 2011 quake (especially in the June 2011 earthquake), these properties were usually red-zoned later than the flatland properties, sometimes as late as November 2013, over two years afterwards.
All buyout prices would be based on 2007 valuation of the properties, the most recent data available before the 2010 earthquake.
The initial announcement of red zones occurred on 24 June 2011, and residents were given 9 months to consider their offers.
Other areas, which had initially been zoned either orange or white, were not zoned until later: the suburb of Brooklands, for example, was not conclusively zoned red until November 2011, 8 months after the February 2011 quake.
Indeed, city buses have been rerouted out of the red zone, and mail deliveries were cancelled in 2014, so that any remaining residents are living in areas with minimal government services.
Stayers in the red zone contend with tyre punctures from unrepaired, earthquake-damaged roads, and the risk of crime in the little-serviced area.
Once the Crown bought the land, tenants vacated the property, and insurance settlements were finalised, private contractors were hired to demolish the houses.
It took several years until all demolitions and removals were completed in 2015, in which time the red zone contained many abandoned buildings that attracted squatters and crime.
However, indigenous plants, as well as trees and shrubs over a certain height (4 meters or 6 meters depending on context) were retained.
Depending on the natural environment of the property, one of six different treatment types was applied: grassland, riparian buffer area, dune, estuarine edge, wet areas, and no clearance treatment (for areas with existing non-intensive land use such as grazing).
Owing to the policy of leaving most vegetation in place, many trees and shrubs that once marked lot boundaries still remain in their rectangular alignments around the houses that have been demolished.
The government only offered buyouts to homeowners with home insurance, which is compulsory for home owners who hold a home loan (mortgage) in New Zealand.
CERA head Gerry Brownlee argued that to buy properties from homeowners who failed to purchase insurance would create a moral hazard by setting a precedent that homeowners without insurance would receive a bailout from the government, despite not insuring their properties against damage.
A group called Quake Outcasts sued the government, alleging that they suffered unlawful discrimination on a basis that was not warranted by the Canterbury Earthquake Response and Recovery Act 2010.
Another source of controversy was that insurance companies paid out less than the full value of some houses if the companies found that, based on the structural characteristics of the house, it was repairable, even though the red zone legally prohibited such repairs.
Since the disestablishment of CERA in 2016, Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) manages the land, taking responsibility for managing vegetation, cleaning rubbish, and providing security.
Pending a permanent land use, LINZ allows the vacant red zone to be used for activities such as community gardening, mountain biking, and beekeeping on a temporary basis (up to 5 years in length).
The vacant, albeit damaged, roads are used for a driving school and as a testing ground for autonomous or radio-controlled vehicles.
So, the government’s long-term earthquake recovery organization, Regenerate Christchurch, developed the Ōtākaro/Avon River Corridor Regeneration Plan to make the Avon River red zone into a large park stretching from downtown Christchurch to the Avon Heathcote Estuary by the ocean.
Such a park, at , will be nearly four times the size of Christchurch's Hagley Park, and Regenerate Christchurch considers this vast new urban open space a unique opportunity to improve the city’s parkland and natural environment.
The plan is intended to adapt to rising sea levels which are expected to flood part of the Ōtākaro/Avon River Corridor.

The Municipality of Day Dawn was a local government area in Western Australia centred on the mining town of Day Dawn.
It was responsible for managing the Day Dawn Recreation Ground and was responsible for instituting a system of electric lighting in the town.
The municipal boundaries were extended one and a half miles due to the growth of the town in October 1901 and again on 31 August 1904.
The municipality ceased to exist on 11 October 1912, when along with the nearby Municipality of Cue, it merged into the surrounding Cue Road District, which was in turn renamed the Cue-Day Dawn Road District.
All councils ultimately supported the amalgamation, largely based on the need to improve their collective financial positions, despite a counter-push to redivide the three bodies as two new road districts.

Raibag (Vidhan Sabha constituency) is one of the 224 constituencies in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly of Karnataka a south state of India.
Among the four members of the Municipal Executive there was onesocial democrat (SPD), one member of the People's Party and two conservatives.
Among the 21 members of the City Council there was one fascist, thirteen conservatives, four social democrats, one communist, one centre (Zentrum), one democrat and one people's man.
This political pluralism did not prevent the Board and the City Council from making very far-sighted and prospective decisions thatwere beneficial for the city.
Such decisions also include the free transfer of building plots to industrial or manufacturing plants, the transfer of plots of land for the construction of public buildings onvery convenient terms, and finally the free transfer of plots of land to the garrison for the development of recreational and tourist infrastructure.
With a predominance of Conservatives both in the same body and in the other, it might not have been difficult to obtain such a majority.
Only that first the mayor had to get the majority for these decisions and the majority, and this task was for the mayor.
The fact that the mayor of Giese joyed such an authority mainly among the town's inhabitants is proved by the fact that in 1922 he was elected for a second, twelve-year term.
For the first time Karl Friedrich Giese was elected mayor of Ilawa on 6 June 1910, for the second time in 1922, and it was only the take over of power by the Nazis in 1933 that did not allow him to survive until the end of his term.
We do not know whether the elections to the Board and Council also took place in 1910, that this was the case, can be seen from the mention of the pastor of the Catholic parish in Ilawa, who said that in 1930, by the votes of four Protestants and two Catholics, he was elected to the City Council.
This would mean that this year there were elections for a new Board and a new City Council, which in turn means that Giese, during his more than twenty years as mayor in Iława, had to work with four different or almost different teams of people, consisting of the City Board and City Council.
Maier can be assumed that the elections to the City Council took place in 1910, the next ones were in 1916, but probably due to the war they were postponed to 1918, while the next ones took place in 1924 and 1930.
Ilawa, at the time of the mayor of Giese, from a provincial town turnedinto one of the most important centres of West Prussia.
During the finishing of the building, he took part in the following activities iławski military garrison, which funded the stained-glass windows and equipped the town hall at that time the richestiławian - Seifert.

The Cave Sanctuaries of the Akropolis, Athens, are the natural fissures in the rock of the Akropolis hill that were used as sites of worship for deities of the panhellenic pantheon in antiquity.
Traditionally a sharp distinction has been drawn between the state religion practised on the summit of the akropolis and the cult practice of the shrines on the lower slopes.
Recently, however, interest has burgeoned in the individual religious experience or personal piety in Greek society of which these cult sites may be the expression.
The proceeding description follows the order of the shrines from the Klepsydra at the northwest face of the akropolis clockwise via the Peripatos round to the foot of the Nike bastion.
The northwestern slope of the rock of the Akropolis is dominated by three cave openings dedicated to the worship of Pan, Zeus and Apollo respectively.
The most westerly cave on the terrace is not a shrine but a sculpted cavity, called cave A in the archaeological literature, with a carved surface in the form of a podium was used as a viewing area for the Panathenaic procession.
Moving easterly the next cave along, cave B, is that of the Apollo Hypoakraios (Apollo under the Long Rocks, also worshipped as Pythios).
The sanctuary was identified after finding marble plaques nearby which detail a crown and an inscription that they were a dedication to Apollo from the nine archons.
The Middle Cave, also called cave C in the archaeological literature, is dated to the 5th century and attributed to Zeus Olympios or Zeus Keraunios, based on the interpretations of Thucydides and Strabo.
The excavation of Kavvadias in 1896-1897 uncovered a previously unknown cave system (identified as D-D, and latterly another, D), this eastern most cave on the terrace was dedicated to the god Pan.
The identification of the sanctuary was based on the testimonies of Euripides, Aristophanes and Pausanias as well as the finding of two votive reliefs on the site one of which depicts the God sitting on a rock playing the pipes while a nymph stands before him, and the other is the Pan Relief which shows the God amongst other deities.
In the Christian period, the furthest eastern part of the Sanctuary (named cave D) was converted into a chapel dedicated to Saint Athanasius from which traces of frescoes in the niches are preserved today.
Also identified as the shrine of Aphrodite in the Gardens after the passage in Pausanias describing the rites of the arrhephoroi.
A number of votive niches are carved into the back wall which probably housed statues or other votive gifts the evidence of these mostly date from the 2nd or 3rd centuries BCE, oldest find is 5th century.
Also found were small marble reliefs of male and female genitals, fragments of a marble relief of nines Erotes carrying cult paraphenalia from the late 4th century.
Two inscriptions of circa 450-430 BCE were cut into the rock at the southwest corner of the site, One a dedication to Aphrodite, the other mentions a spring festival sacred to Eros.
The connection to the passage in Pausanias already mentioned was made by Broneer who suggest that the arrhephoroi might have descended from the Akropolis through the adjacent mycenaean well, however there is no definite evidence of this still mysterious ceremony.
The small area next to the Aphrodite temenos, the so-called skyphoi sanctuary, the purpose of which is unclear was the site of deposit of a large number of small vessels.
Aglauros was one of the daughters of Kekrops who according to legend jumped to her death to save the city as decreed by the Delphic oracle.
These sources were the only inconclusive clues to the location of the shrine which was not identified as its current site until the 1980 stele find.
Dating from 247/6 or 246/5 BCE, the inscription on the stele mentions the Aglauros priestess Timokrite who was honoured by the Athenian demos with this memorial.
While the cult of Aglauros was a women’s cult, the ephebes also practised the aglauria there when they swore oaths and received their weapons.
The mycenaean spring on this site had been enclosed in a spring house since the archaic period and had been a centre for the cult of Pan, the nymphs and possibly Hermes since the 5th century BCE.
Its boundary was indicated by a horos built into the wall that defined the peripatos, Susan Walker identified this as a state cult.
Additionally a small temple in antis dating from the 2nd century CE is identified with Isis which according to epigraphic evidence was restored by a private patron.
Pausanias describes a Temple of Themis here directly behind a monument for the hero Hippolytos, several Roman inscriptions denote themis as the epiclesis of different goddesses.
Pala considers that the Aphrodite shrines of south slope may have been part of a pilgrimage trail, along with the Aphrodite cave on the north face where the goddess was worshiped in her kourotrophic aspect, that brides and wives might have taken.
The Sanctuary of the Nymphe is an open air sanctuary south of later built Herodeion it is not accessible from peripatos.
The loutrophoros was used by suppliants to carry water from the Kallirrhoe spring near the Ilissos river for the prenuptial bath of the bride.
Besides Aphrodite Hippolytos already mentioned, it may be the case that the cult of Aphrodite Pandemos was located above the Herodeion, Pausanias lists her sanctuary along with Peitho (Goddess of Persuasion) as being west of the Asklepieion.

Manushya Maha Sringhala was a human chain formed on 26 January 2020 across the Indian state of Kerala to protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the proposed National Register of Citizens.
The chain was formed by approximately 6 to 7 million people and extended for a distance of 620 kilometers (320 miles) stretching north to south from Kasaragod to Kaliyikkavila.
The chain was completed at 16:00 Indian Standard Time (+5:30 GMT) when the participants read out the preamble of the Constitution of India and swore an oath to protect it.
The act grants Indian citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians who claim to be from Pakistan, Bangladesh or Afghanistan and reduces the period of naturalization.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has also introduced the proposal for implementing a National Register of Citizens (NRC) for all citizens of India.
The NRC was first implemented in Assam, which excluded 1.9 million individuals who were declared illegal immigrants and sent to detention camps.
The NRC was criticized for being deeply flawed and acting on the basis of guilt until proven innocent thereby providing the possibility of genuine citizens being rendered stateless by the process.
The passage of the CAA led to widespread protests across India with the ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party being accused of religious discrimination in providing citizenship and attempting to disenfranchise and segregate millions of Muslims with the continued insistence on implementing a nationwide NRC.
In Kerala, the ruling Left Democratic Front coalition and the opposition United Democratic Front coalition granted joint support to the protests across India.
Following the resolution, the government of Kerala filed a lawsuit against the government of India for violating the provisions of fundamental rights and secularism granted by the Constitution of India.
The state of Kerala has experienced widespread protests against CAA and NRC while Pinarayi Vijayan, the Chief Minister of Kerala has stated that the state will remain at the forefront to defend the Constitution of India.
On 26 January 2020, the 71st Republic Day of India, the Left Democratic Front organized one of the largest event of protest with a continuous human chain pledging to defend the Constitution of India which stretched from the northernmost end of the administrative border of Kerala to the southernmost end.
The chain passed through the districts of Kasaragod, Kannur, Kozhikode, Malappuram, Palakkad, Thrissur, Ernakulam, Kottayam, Alappuzha, Pathanamthitta, Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram, respectively in sequence.
The districts of Wayanad and idukki were not a part of the main chain but separate parallel chains were formed in them.
The human chain was organised with the help of transportation provided by the Left Democratic Front to connect the less populated parts along national highways.
At 15:30 Indian Standard Time (3:30 PM), leaflets of the pledge were distributed and a rehearsal was held with directions issued through microphones.
At 16:00 Indian Standard Time (4:00 PM), the chain was formally formed when the participants read out the preamble to the Constitution of India and then took the pledge.
The chain was dispersed at 16:15 Indian Standard Time (4:15 PM) and public meeting were held at 250 locations in the state.
Chief Minister, Pinarayi Vijayan and Communist Party of India state secretary, Kanam Rajendran joined the chain in the capital of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram at Martyr's square, Palayam.
The human chain once formed at 16:00 Indian Standard Time (4:00 PM), read out the preamble to the Constitution of India and then took an oath to protect the Constitution.

Gallium nitride and zinc oxide can also be regarded as a ceramic due to its relatively wide band gap, that can generate an instantaneous polarisation inside their lattice on application of a force.
Further, inorganic ceramic PM have several advantages over single crystal, such as the ease of fabrication into a variety of shapes and sizes as single crystals requires cutting along the crystallographic directions, thus minimising the possibilities of cutting into different shapes.
Piezoelectric polymers (PVDF, 240 mV-m/N) possess higher piezoelectric stress constants (g), an important parameter in sensors, than ceramics (PZT, 11 mV-m/N), which show that they can be better sensors than ceramics.
Moreover, piezoelectric polymeric sensors and actuators, due to their processing flexibility, can be readily manufactured into large areas, and cut into a variety of shapes.
In addition polymers also exhibit high strength, high impact resistance, low dielectric constant, low elastic stiffness, and low density, thereby a high voltage sensitivity which is a desirable characteristic along with low acoustic and mechanical impedance useful for medical and underwater applications.
This resulted in the development of PZT-polymer composites, and the feasible integration of functional PM composites on large scale, by simple thermal welding or by conforming processes.
Several approaches towards lead-free ceramic PM have been reported, such as piezoelectric single crystals (langasite), and ferroelectric ceramics with a perovskite structure and bismuth layer-structured ferroelectrics (BLSF), which have been extensively researched.
Also, several ferroelectrics with perovskite-structure (BaTiO [BT], (BiNa) TiO [BNT], (BiK) TiO [BKT], KNbO [KN], (K, Na) NbO [KNN]) have been investigated for their piezoelectric properties.

The 1995 Súðavík avalanche was an avalanche that struck the small fishing village of Súðavík in Iceland’s Westfjords on 16 January 1995, killing 14 people, including eight children, and injuring twelve.
The disaster, along with the avalanche that killed 20 in Flateyri later in the year, had a profound effect on the nation and sparked a massive buildup of avalanche dams to protect towns in danger zones.
On 16 January 1995, at 6:25 in the morning during a major storm, a 400 metres wide avalanche hit the village, destroying fifteen homes that housed 26 people.
Four minutes later, the police in neighbouring town Ísafjörður receive a distress call from the town while resident who were unaffected by the avalanche immediately mounted a search and rescue operation and set up a rescue center in the local fishing factory, named Frosti.
Shortly later, fishing trawlers owned by Frosti, who were moored nearby due to the weather, tried to illuminate the area with spotlights.
Due to extremely bad weather conditions, road access to the town was cut off and rescue units, many of them volunteers, had to be brought by boats from Ísafjörður.
Two hours after the avalanche, the first SAR members, along with rescue dogs, doctors and nurses, sailed from Ísafjörður with the ferry Fagranes and arrived roughly an hour later.
Later in the day, the Icelandic Coast Guard Vessel Týr undertook a 20-hour voyage from Reykjavík through the storm with additional rescue units, medical staff and supplies.
At 19:30, a second avalanche, 100 meter wide, hits the town and damages several unoccupied houses, including the power station, knocking out power to the town.
Due to the loss of power, the rescue command and control center is moved from the fish factory to the ferry Fagranes.
The wave smassed all windows in the bridge and rendered the ships navigational equipment non operational, forcing it to abandon its mission and seek shelter.
Several houses still stand in the old part of the town but overnight stay there is forbidden during the winter time.
The disaster, along with the 1995 Flateyri avalanche, also raised awareness to the dangers settlements in the country faced from avalanches as well as to the psychological trauma the survivors and the rescuers faced in the aftermath.

Isabel Margaret de Madariaga (27 August 1919 – 16 June 2014) was a British historian who specialised on Russia in the 18th century and Catherine the Great.
She published six books on Russia and is credited for changing the perception of Catherine the Great amongst Russian and Western scholars.
Born to a Spanish diplomat and a Scottish economic historian, she was taught at 16 schools during her childhood and earned a first-class honours degree in Russian language and literature at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES).
De Madariaga worked for BBC Monitoring in the Second World War, and was a civil servant at the Ministry of Information and HM Treasury.
She was the younger daughter of the Spanish diplomat and writer Salvador de Madariaga and the Scottish economic historian Constance Helen Margaret (née Archibald).
As a consequence of her father's career, De Madariaga lived in Geneva during her early years because he was working for the League of Nations before he moved to Paris to be the United States ambassador for the Spanish republic.
She was taught at sixteen different schools, including Miss Woods’s school in Headington, the International School of Geneva and Instituto-Escuela in Madrid.
She learnt to play the piano in the ballroom of the Spanish Embassy and met a wide variety of cultured individuals such as Maurice Ravel.
At the age of 18, De Madariaga went to London and was the first woman undergraduate student to enroll on a Russian language and literature degree at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSESS).
Because she was a polyglot, the BBC employed her to work as a monitor of enemy broadcasts for BBC Monitoring in Evesham from 1940 to 1943.
She later moved to London to work as a temporary civil servant at the Ministry of Information and later at HM Treasury's economic information unit between 1947 and 1948.
Due to De Madariaga being married, she found it difficult to forge a career in academia and held a series of part-time positions at the London School of Economics.
Because she resided in Highgate, she lectured at the University of Sussex from 1966 to 1968 and then the Lancaster University between 1968 and 1971.
Three years later, she returned to the SSESS to be appointed a reader in Russian studies and remained in the post until 1981.
Few research students studied under De Madariaga by the time she retired in 1984 and notable ones included Janet M. Hartley and Pia Pera.
She had helped to establish the Russian Studies course, was chairperson of its Academic Assembly and served as a member of its Council when it was under threat of closure.
The Dissolution of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991 allowed her works to be published in Russia and to be used by the country's historians.
After a series of operations, which did not bring about an improvement in her condition, De Madariaga died of bronchopneumonia at the Royal Free Hospital, London Borough of Camden on 16 June 2014.
De Madariaga was credited for transforming the study of Russia in the 18th century and had changed perception on how Catherine the Great and Ivan the Terrible were viewed by scholars and Russian and Western historians.

In the 1950s and 1960s he owned and operated a publishing company, a daily newspaper and a monthly magazine in New Brunswick.
His eye was pierced by a thorn when his horse jumped a gate overhung with blackthorn and an operation to save his sight was unsuccessful.
He designed a multi-barrelled rocket launcher known as a land mattress, which the British army tested in 1944 but chose not to use on the battlefield.
Wardell subsequently worked with Lt. Col. Eric Harris, a Canadian artillery officer, to finish developing the land mattress in September 1944.
In the summer of 1950 Wardell and Beaverbrook visited Beaverbrook's home province of New Brunswick to go salmon fishing on the Restigouche River at the invitation of the province's premier, John B. McNair.
With the financial backing of Beaverbrook and others, including Sir James Dunn, he also acquired a printing company and a retail store selling books and stationery.
Wardell invested heavily in the venture, purchasing a new headquarters building in downtown Fredericton and a sophisticated printing press which he imported from England.
The book publishing arm of the University Press of New Brunswick published New Brunswick authors, beginning with a novel by Grace Helen Mowat in 1951.
The first seven issues contained a serialized memoir by Lord Beaverbrook in which he described his youth and early business career in New Brunswick.
These included opposition to restrictive liquor laws and municipal water fluoridation and promotion of efforts to save Fredericton's elm trees from Dutch elm disease.
Beaverbrook did not approve of Wardell's lavish spending on such items as new state of the art darkroom equipment, and advised him against adding the book imprint, commercial printing operation, etc.
In 1957, when he needed cash to repay a financial backer, he raised the money by selling a minority stake in the University Press of New Brunswick to the New Brunswick businessman K. C. Irving.
Like his earlier acquisition of part ownership, the buyout remained a secret until 11 March 1969 when it was revealed on the floor of the Senate of Canada by New Brunswick Liberal senator Charles McElman.

The group campaigned to find out the truth about what happened to hundreds of people who disappeared during Pinochet's reign and bring the people responsible to justice.
Even after a new government came to power, Sierra and other people with missing relatives were not told the truth and due to an amnesty agreement, those responsible were protected from punishment and so continued to campaign.

Male upper hindwing has a hair pencil (scent pencil-a dorsal glandular fold or oval shaped depression on the wing membrane covered by pencils of long hairs) .
Lorenzato paintings also have a very characteristic pattern made by the use of vivid colors mixed with an adapted comb that left shades and texture at the canvases.
Born in 1900 in Belo Horizonte to Italian immigrants, Lorenzato began working as a painter’s assistant at a very early age.
However, in the late 1920s, due to the outbreak of Spanish flu that hit Brazil, Lorenzato and his family returned to Italy, where he became a wall painter in the reconstruction of the town of Arsiero, destroyed during the First World War.
A self-taught artist, he educated himself in the major renaissance historical movements, and after a short enrollment at the Reale Accademia delle Arti in Vicenza in 1925, he engaged at a year-long cycling trip across Europe with a Dutch painter that he had met, Cornelius Keesman.
At this life-changing trip, they had a chance to expand their horizons as encountering works by artists such as Matisse and Picasso.
It was only after sustaining an injury to his leg in 1956 that Lorenzato committed himself to full time painting, and settled back into Belo Horizonte where he developed most of his work.
Lorenzato painting reflected everyday life, and his creative process involved long walks around his home and in the countryside, making drawings and sketches that he would later translate to paintings from memory.
Lorenzato’s compositions used a rich palette of self-made pigments to describe his surroundings by reduced geometric forms and richly textured surfaces that were filled with veers into abstraction through the use of handmand tools, usually brushes, combs, and forks.
Ivan Lysiak-Rudnytsky (; 27 October 1919, Vienna, Austria – 25 April 1984, Edmonton, Alberta) — Ukrainian historian, political scientist, publicist; full member of the Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences in the U.S. and the Shevchenko Scientific Society of Canada.
His father, Pavlo Lysiak, was a prominent lawyer, editor and contributor to many Ukrainian publications, ambassador of the Ukrainian National Democratic Alliance (UNDO) to the Polish Sejm in 1938–1939.
Ivan's mother, Milena Rudnytska, was an ambassador of the UNDO to the Polish Sejm (1928-1935), chairman of the Ukrainian Women's Union in Lviv (1928-1939) and of the Ukrainian Women's World Union (since 1934).
Among them are literary scholar, publicist and translator Mykhailo Rudnytsky (1889–1975), lawyer and well-known public figure Volodymyr Rudnytsky (1890–1974) and composer and musician Antin Rudnytsky (1902-1975).
In 1925-29 he studied at the Ukrainian elementary school, and from 1929 to 1937 — at the Academic Gymnasium in Lviv, the oldest Ukrainian Gymnasium not only in Galicia, but throughout Ukraine.
After the war he moved to Austria, and in 1947 to Geneva (Switzerland), where he attended lectures at the Institute for Higher International Studies.
In February 1956 he was promoted to assistant professor at a local Catholic educational institution — La Salle College (Philadelphia), where he taught courses in Russian history and recent Western European history.
Ivan Lysiak-Rudnytsky wrote works on the history of Ukraine, Ukrainian political thought of the XIX-XX centuries and the theory of the nation.
The center of philosophical interests of the scientist was historical knowledge, in the center of his historiographic interests — the history of Ukrainian socio-political thought from the middle of the XIX century to the 30's of the XX century.
The leading theme is the fate of Ukraine in recent history, first of all the analysis of the decisive tendencies of its political changes in the context of the modern world process and political forecasting.
The most tangible in the work of the historian is the influence of the philosophy of Hegel's history, his thoughts on the objective logic presence in the historical process and the possibility of freedom only in the rule of law.

Edward Whately Pyddoke (1909 – 8 September 1976) was a British archaeologist, antiquarian, and author on archaeological and related subjects, who served as Secretary and Registrar for the University of London Institute of Archaeology.
Pyddoke was the elder of two sons (he also had a younger sister) of Henry Whately Pyddoke, of Bonnyrigg, Tonbridge, Kent, formerly of Oxhill, Loughton, Essex, and Edith, daughter of Major John Wilson, of the Scots Greys.
Henry Pyddoke was involved in the social reform activities undertaken by Toynbee Hall, founded by Samuel Barnett, at whose request he undertook an investigation in the winter of 1894 into the casual ward system, involving over six hundred interviews.
The Pyddoke family were minor gentry, originally gunmakers named Whately (also Whateley) who through a marriage in the 1700s inherited the estate of the Piddock family (including The Austins, at Handsworth, Staffordshire) and adopted that family's name.
He was educated at Tonbridge School in Kent, then at the University of London Institute of Archaeology in their first cohort of students for the Postgraduate Diploma of Prehistoric Archaeology, in 1946/ 7; amongst the five other students were Grace Simpson and Nancy Sandars.
Based at St John's Lodge, Regent's Park, London, they were taught by eminent archaeologists including V. Gordon Childe, Kathleen Kenyon, F. E. Zeuner, and Stuart Piggott.
Pyddoke had worked for the Anglo-American Oil Company in 1939 and for the Bank of England Exchange Control prior to his archaeological studies; from 1948 to 1951, he was curator at the museum at Lewes, Sussex, before in 1951 taking over from Dr Ian Cornwall as Secretary and Registrar at the University of London Institute of Archaeology, serving in this capacity until 1955.

A collaboration between Forslund and Lindgren follows, in which Astrid Lindgren brings in her journalistic skills and Forslund her specialist knowledge.
In the articles, Lindgren and Forslund mainly criticize agricultural policy, the industrialization of agriculture and less the farmers, who, according to the authors, also want that the animals are well.
The book contains both articles that Astrid Lindgren and Kristina Forslund wrote for newspapers, as well as personal letters in which the authors criticize the treatment of animals in factory farming.
The authors also write about how they started to work together and how they feel about the change in the Animal Welfare Act.
Next to this Forslund has published a few of the articles on her website, where she also mentions what kind of changes came with the new law.
Lindgren does not make any naive arguments, protecting the Swedish farmers who have reluctantly followed the new boom in factory farming.

The Siege of Nijmegen occurred from 27 October to 8 November 1794 during the Flanders campaign of the War of the First Coalition.
It was the last major military confrontation between the forces of the Revolutionary French First Republic and the reactionary First Coalition of European monarchs including William V, Prince of Orange, before the fall of the Dutch Republic in January 1795, which William had ruled as hereditary stadtholder since 1751.
As commander-in-chief of the Dutch States Army, his indecision, several changes of mind and lack of coordination with his Anglo-Hanoverian, Hessian, Prussian and Austrian allies contributed to the eventual surrender of Nijmegen to the French revolutionaries.
In the Patriottentijd, stadtholder William V, Prince of Orange had taken refuge in the city of Nijmegen when he was deprived of the command of the garrison of The Hague in 1785.
After his wife Wilhelmina of Prussia was arrested by Patriots at Goejanverwellesluis on 28 June 1787, the Prussian army intervened and expelled the Patriots, who fled to France or disguised themselves as 'reading clubs'.
William V left Nijmegen again and resumed his residence in The Hague, while reinforcing his stadtholderian powers through the Act of Guarantee and his new alliances with Prussia and England, which made the Netherlands a de facto Anglo-Prussian protectorate, now run as a hereditary monarchy under the House of Orange-Nassau in all but its old name: the Dutch Republic.
In the summer of 1794, the momentum changed when the French Revolutionary troops in the Austrian Netherlands won one victory after another over the forces of the anti-French reactionary First Coalition, to which William V's son Frederick, the hereditary Prince of Orange, contributed a States contingent.
The Prussians and Austrians fled to the Rhineland, while the Anglo-Hanoverian, Hessian and Dutch States troops withdrew further northwards to defend the United Provinces.
Those days, companies from several countries came and went from the city, and the stadtholder and his sons showed up several times inside its walls.
The French came closer by the day, and there were multiple minor field battles and skirmishes near the outposts to the south of Nijmegen, while the city and the surrounding forts were being reinforced.
The French Armée du Nord led by general Jean-Charles Pichegru, assisted by the Batavian Legion under the Patriot brigadier generals Herman Willem Daendels and Jan Willem de Winter.
His replacement, Jean Victor Marie Moreau, crossed the river Maas at Teeffelen with a division on 18 or 19 October, followed by another division under Joseph Souham's command.
There were battles near Puiflijk, Appeltern, Dreumel, Batenburg and Winssen between the French troops, alleged to be 20,000 men strong, versus two English regiments and an Emigrant army of 1200 men under the Prince of Rohan.
One of the English regiments was taken prisoner of war (500 men), and the other was almost completely destroyed, while of the 1200 Emigrants only 300 escaped, while 60 were captured and the rest was killed.
On 20 October, there were skirmishes on the heath near Wijchen and the flower mountains near Zyfflich, while the French bombarded Tiel and severed the connection between Grave and Nijmegen.
In the morning of 21 October, the Hanoverian general Wallmoden asked the magistrate of Nijmegen whether there were enough food supplies to make it through a siege; from the doubtful answer he received, he concluded that the city had to be evacuated.
From The Hague, the stadtholder ordered to not defend Nijmegen against the French, and so the evacuation of the city was commenced.
The French army's main force was stationed in Wijchen, while inside Nijmegen the Allies continued to station more troops, for example in the Romanesque churches.
On 24 and 25 October, the city was geared into a state of emergency, while food shortages began to grow and Coalition soldiers started plundering the countryside.
The pontoon bridge across the Waal was filled with combustibles so it could be burned after crossing, preventing the French from using it.
The cannon on the Nijmegian walls fired for the first time on 27 October at 12.30 pm, and the French army directly shot back at them as well.
As a precaution, several houses in Hees were burnt down at 6 pm, in order to prevent the French from garrisoning them.
By this time, it was alleged that all Coalition outposts had been evacuated or captured by the French, who took many Allied POWs.
The Prince of Orange changed his mind about his earlier decision on 28 October, and announced that he loved Nijmegen too much to just surrender her to the enemy.
Hulst, who showed some pro-French sympathies in his account, called the stadtholder's decision to risk the city to withstand a siege 'nonsensical' because of a lack of supplies, and he claimed that the citizenry would rather capitulate quickly.
The well-covered French batteries in Ooij were hard to hit, but they themselves were highly efficient in firing on the eastern walls.
From 29 October to 1 November, the French did not attack, but carefully prepared for a long-term siege by constructing more trenches and batteries in the ever colder weather.
In the end, only a single sortie involving 300 English and 200 Hanoverian soldiers was performed towards a French battery located on the Hunnerberg, but it was beaten back with a loss of 100 men.
In the meantime, the wood shortage inside Nijmegen was rapidly becoming serious, and all kinds of things were set on fire to produce warmth.
On 2 November, the Coalition forces employed an almost endless barrage on the slowly nearer-digging French troops, who did not return the fire.
That evening and night, 3000 men with military wagons and horses are said to have crossed the river while evacuating the city.
At night, Hanoverian troops made another sortie and reached the French trenches, but it appeared that the did not achieve more than stealing a few spades whilst incurring 60 deaths and 40 injuries.
Moreover, 500 tonnes of flour were dumped overboard, but hungry civilians retrieved much of it from the water for their own use.
The situation turned around when the three Princes of Orange came from Arnhem and arrived in Nijmegen in the afternoon to consult with the other military commanders.
The result appears to have been to cease the evacuation and to resume the siege, because room was made for 3,600 new English and Dutch soldiers (including 2 companies of Dutch cannoneers), who arrived later that night.
The artillery on the walls was reinforced on 4 November, and much of the ammunition dumped in the Waal was brought back to the surface to be used.
The far-progressed trenches were assailed during a large-scale English sortie, and the first and second line were successfully taken, with many tools and soldiers captured.
At the third line, however, they met with fierce French counter-fire of cannons and muskets, suffering heavy losses and breaking ranks, after which they fled back to the city in great disorder.
A large number of Scots that tried to climb the Hunnerberg were shot down by French Jäger until they were relieved by a Hanoverian batallion that escorted them back into the city.
5 November was another relatively quiet day; even more Allied troops and artillery pieces were stationed in Nijmegen and there was a little less fierce firing than the day before, while the French resumed digging efforts and had deployed extra guards near the trenches in case of another sortie.
The Duke of York, commander of the British troops, planned a counter-offensive with Austrian assistance to relieve Nijmegen, but this was cancelled when the Hanoverian contingent refused to participate.
The English troops began to leave the city on the order of York, who was recalled to England and replaced by William Harcourt.
In the morning of 6 November, the stadtholder once again assured the population that he would defend the city, and even promised to relieve her within three days as soon as the necessarily reinforcements had arrived.
Dutch troops launched desperate sorties, but at the cost of more soldiers on their own side than they could inflict on the French.
Dozens of English soldiers set themselves to looting houses in order to take away as many goods as they could lay their hands on to the other shore, but Dutch soldiers and armed citizens were able to arrest a large number of them, and about 50 pillagers were executed.
Between 1 and 3 o'clock, a fire raged in the Hertogsteeg that was hard to extinguish; water was difficult to obtain, and people rather avoided the streets.
The pontoon bridge was heavily fired on by the French howitzers, while the Allies tried to cross it towards Lent as quickly as possible.
As soon as the English had crossed to the other side around 1 or 2 am, however, they set the bridge aflame, preventing the remaining Dutch regiments the retreat.
Seeing the burning bridge, and noticing the defenders decreasingly returned their fire, the French concluded that the city had almost been evacuated.
They scaled the walls, entered the city withour resistance and opened up three gates (the Hesepoort, Molenpoort and Hertogsteegsepoort), after which the main force was informed.
From the other side, captain Reine (a Dutch Patriot) advanced to the Hunnerpoort to demand access in the name of the French Republic.
The prisoners of war were disarmed on the very same day, and escorted to Ravenstein with full military honours and beating drum.
Eventually, the capitulation was written up by the Dutch officer Sanders van Wel in the Molenstraat, which was soon signed by general Souham.
Hulst reported that the French troops were very disciplined, and did not engage in looting, but walked across the street gleefully and singing while greeting civilians.
Tensions loomed when unsuspecting shop owners started trading Dutch guilders 1 on 1 against the heavily devalued French assignats, prompting the military leadership to temporarily close down all shops to protect the vendors against economic damage.
English troops continued to occupy the Knodsenburg fortress on the other side of the Waal and fired on the city for some time, to little effect, but successfully keeping the French at a distance for the time being.
With the conquest of Nijmegen, the French Republic had reached the Rhine and the Waal rivers, which were often claimed to be the 'natural boundary' of France, and that it had tried to seize during the past several revolutionary years.
Daendels, however, pressed the French command to liberate the rest of the Dutch Republic, where the Patriots were increasingly stirring up revolts and demanded the departure of the Orangists.
On 10 January 1795, Pichegru crossed the frozen Waal, after which only little fighting was needed in the rest of the country: op 16 January, the province of Utrecht surrendered, and on the night of 18 to 19 January a nonviolent Batavian Revolution took place in Amsterdam and the Batavian Republic was proclaimed, while many Orangists together with the stadtholder fled to England.
During the spring of 1795, the French government and the new revolutionary Batavian administration negotiated which regions would be annexed by France: Paris agitated for the Waal as the border between the two republics, but the Bavatians found this too high a price for the population which had largely liberated itself, and wanted to retain friendly ties with the French.
The resulting Treaty of The Hague (16 May 1795) stipulated that only the Generality Lands of Staats-Vlaanderen, Staats-Overmaas and Staats-Opper-Gelre would become French territory, while Staats-Brabant and the parts of Duchy of Guelders and the County of Holland below the river Waal would remain in Batavian control.
Nijmegen thus became part of the new Batavian Republic, but the division of Guelders caused the city to be reassigned to the Department of the Dommel and to lose its status as capital to 's-Hertogenbosch.

191st Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery, Royal Artillery, was an air defence unit of Britain's Territorial Army formed in Birmingham before World War II.
It defended the West Midlands against attack during the Battle of Britain, and was then shipped to Malta, where it served through most of the long siege when the island fortress was bombed incessantly.
In the 1930s the increasing need for anti-aircraft (AA) defence for Britain's cities was addressed by converting a number of Territorial Army (TA) infantry units into AA gun units of the Royal Artillery (RA).
The Birmingham-based 6th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment was one unit selected for this role, becoming 69th (Royal Warwickshire Regiment) Anti-Aircraft Brigade, Royal Artillery, on 10 December 1936, consisting of four batteries, including 191 AA Battery.
The TA's AA units were mobilised on 23 September 1938 during the Munich Crisis, with units manning their emergency positions within 24 hours, even though many did not yet have their full complement of men or equipment.
In June 1939, as the international situation deteriorated, a partial mobilisation of TA units was begun in a process known as 'couverture', whereby each AA unit did a month's tour of duty in rotation to man selected AA positions.
On 24 August, ahead of the declaration of war, the units of Anti-Aircraft Command were fully mobilised at their war stations.
69th (Royal Warwickshire) AA Rgt was under the command of 34th (South Midland) Anti-Aircraft Brigade, which controlled the Gun Defended Areas (GDAs) of Birmingham and Coventry.
191 AA Battery was manning 3-inch guns at Coventry Sites B (2 guns) and D (4 guns), as well as providing detachments manning Light machine guns (LMGs) at the Ryton aircraft factory, which was designated a Vulnerable Point (VP).
Shortly after war was declared on 3 September, 191 AA Bty was ordered to move via Gloucester to Newport, Wales, with its six mobile 3-inch guns together with another section of two taken from 190 AA Bty.
It set out from Ryton on 8 September and all guns were in position by the end of 9 September; it then commenced building command points (CPs).
A group of officers from the regiment volunteered to join the Regular 4th AA Rgt for service with the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) in France.
At the end of the year the battery was manning 2 x 4.5-inch guns at Site N and 3 x 3.7-inch guns at Site O.
The Phoney War ended with the German invasion of the Low Countries on 10 May, and all gunsites were put on high alert, with ammunition ready, and all crews armed with rifles to deal with German paratroops.
On 1 June 1940, along with other units equipped with 3-inch or heavier guns, the 69th was designated a Heavy AA (HAA) Regiment and its batteries were similarly retitled.
Before the next wave of raids, 191 HAA Bty left the regiment on 6 October and became an independent battery under War Office control, preparatory to going overseas.
191 HAA Battery formed part of a group of reinforcements bound for Malta that also included 222 (Derby) HAA Bty (formerly of 68th (North Midland) HAA Rgt), together with spare AA guns and barrels.
Here the party picked up Regimental HQ of 10th HAA Rgt and boarded Royal Navy warships for the dash to Malta (Operation Coat).
Together with 222 HAA Bty it now comprised 10th HAA Rgt, joined a month later by 190 HAA Bty from 69th (RWR) HAA Rgt.
In March there was dive-bombing against the RAF airfields, defended by 10th HAA Rgt, and attacks on a supply convoy on 23 March.
The HAA guns were engaged almost every day, taking a steady toll of the bombers, but the ammunition expenditure was very great.
10th HAA Regiment exchanged with 7th HAA Rgt and took responsibility for defending Fort Manoel and Grand Harbour with a mixture of 4.5-inch, 3.7-inch and 3-inch guns.
By now the RAF fighter strength had been reduced to a handful of aircraft, and the AA guns were the main defence.
March and April 1942 were the period of the heaviest air raids on Malta, with well over 250 sorties a day on occasions.
HAA guns had difficulty engaging these raids, but assisted the defending fighters by firing single 'pointer' rounds to conserve ammunition.This form of fighter-bomber sweep also lost heavily to the AA guns and RAF fighters.
With the Axis defeat at Alamein and the Allied North Africa landings the same month, the siege of Malta was ended.
The only enemy air activity for the rest of the year was occasional high-flying reconnaissances and one raid on Luqa in December.
On 15 December Maj Davies was posted to HQ Malta Command and was replaced in command on 191 HAA Bty by Maj G.K.F.
By June/July 1943 10th HAA Rgt formed part of a large AA concentration protecting the build-up of forces in Malta for the Allied invasion of Sicily (Operation Husky), with 191 HAA Bty deployed at XHD17M (Ta Ġiorni, 3 x static 3.7-inch Mk II) and XHE28 (Spinola, 3 x static 4.5-inch Mk I, GL Mk I).
On 17 June 1943, RHQ 10th HAA Rgt was officially disbanded and reformed as RHQ 68th (North Midland) HAA Rgt, with the same batteries:190 and 191 from Birmingham, and 222 from Derby.
Although the AA defences of Malta were progressively run down as units returned home or joined the campaigns in Sicily and later in mainland Italy, 68th HAA Regiment remained part of the permanent garrison of the island until the end of the war and beyond.
68th HAA Regiment was placed in suspended animation in Malta in December 1946 so that it could be officially reformed in the Territorial Army in the UK on 1 January 1947.
Simultaneously, 191 HAA Bty was disbanded and its personnel used to resuscitate 19 Coast Bty of the Regular RA as 60 Coast Bty.
The regiment became a pure HAA unit in 1948 and in 1959 it was converted into an AA guided weapons regiment.
Meanwhile the 69th HAA Rgt, which had been placed in suspended animation in Italy in January 1945, reformed in the TA on 1 January 1947 as 469th (Royal Warwickshire Regiment) (Mixed) HAA Rgt ('Mixed' indicating that members of the Women's Royal Army Corps were integrated into the unit).
When AA Command was disbanded on 10 March 1955, 469 HAA Rgt with three other regiments was amalgamated into 442 Light AA Rgt, in which the regimental and battery lineage was maintained by P (5th/6th Royal Warwicks) Bty.

William de Cantilupe, 1st Baron Cantilupe (1262-1308) of Greasley Castle in Nottinghamshire and of Ravensthorpe Castle in the parish of Boltby, North Yorkshire, was created Baron Cantilupe in 1299 by King Edward I.
He was one of the magnates who signed and sealed the Barons' Letter of 1301 to the pope and was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock Castle in Scotland in 1300, when his armorials were blazoned in Norman-French verse in the Caerlaverock Roll.

William's father (Sir Nicholas de Cantilupe (d.1266)) was the 5th and youngest son of William II de Cantilupe (d.1251), 2nd feudal baron of Eaton Bray in Bedfordshire, steward of the household to King Henry III (whose own father William I de Cantilupe (died 1239) had been steward of the household to King John, father of Henry III).
Sir Nicholas's uncle was Walter de Cantilupe (1195-1266), Bishop of Worcester and his elder brother was Thomas de Cantilupe (1220-1282), Chancellor of England, Bishop of Hereford, who was canonised as a saint in 1320.
The senior line died out in the male line in 1273 on the death of his first cousin, 22 year-old Sir George de Cantilupe (1251-1273), 4th feudal baron of Eaton Bray, Lord of Abergavenny, who had inherited vast Welsh estates from his mother Eva de Briouze.
In May 1274 at the age of 12 he accompanied his uncle Thomas de Cantilupe, who would be appointed Bishop of Hereford the following year, to the Second Council of Lyons.
Carmela Jeria, born  Carmela Jeria Gómez in Valparaíso, Chile, July 16, 1886, was a labor activist, typographer, publisher, and social and feminist leader.
Working conditions at the turn of the century were very precarious and led to the formation of many workers' organizations as Chile began exploiting its natural resources.
The resulting economic development generated a new social structure in the country, a product of the worker migration and the growing use of female and child labor.
Two of the many uprisings were Red Week (sometimes called the meat riots) in 1905 and the Santa Maria School massacre (also called, massacre at the Santa María de Iquique School) on December 21, 1907, which fueled even more worker activism.
On May 1, 1907, Jeria delivered a labor day speech to 40,000 people, but by doing so she lost her job at Gillet Lithograph, reportedly because of her work as a labor leader and working journalist.
Jeria’s work is said to have contributed to the formation of several women's associations dedicated to the suffrage movement, eventually leading to Chilean women gaining the right to vote in municipal elections in 1934, and in presidential elections in 1952.
She married Frank Byrne in St Mary's catholic church, Dukinfield, Ashton-under-Lyne on 9 September 1876, with both of them living in Peel St, Dukinfield at the time.
Committed to the Irish nationalist cause, she delivered the surgical knives used in the assassination of the Permanent Under Secretary Thomas Henry Burke and the newly installed Chief Secretary for Ireland, Lord Frederick Cavendish (the Phoenix Park Murders), to the Irish National Invincibles in February 1882 when she was seven months pregnant, concealing the knives under her skirts.
The evidence of James Carey implicated Byrne in the Phoenix Park Murders, leading to her arrest at her home on Avondale Road, Peckham Rye, south London in February 1883.
However, Carey would not positively identify her in court as the woman who delivered the arms, following this she was released.
She became a member of an American ladies’ committee which erected a monument to Patrick O’Donnell, a man executed for killing James Carey, in Glasnevin in April 1887.
She was also a member of some far-right political groups in England and was imprisoned for violating the Official Secrets Act during World War II.
Riddell had been recruited into the RC by Anna Wolkoff, daughter of Admiral Nikolai Wolkoff (1870–1954), the last Imperial Russian naval attaché posted to London before the revolution.
When Britain entered the war, Ramsay closed the RC down, but several women members, with Riddell promiment among them, kept the organisation in operation.
Immediately after the arrest of Kent and Wolkoff, Riddell moved the meetings of the RC to the Wolkoff's Russian Tea Rooms.
He stole copies of correspondences between American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Winston Churchill wherein Roosevelt, while publicly avowing America's neutrality, was making commitments that would draw the US into the war.
Churchill was at the time first lord of the Admiralty, and was communicating with the American President without the knowledge of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.
In January 1940 Riddell, Wolkoff, Kent and Don Francesco Maringliano Duco Del Monte, the Italian assistant military attaché in London, met at the L'Escargot restaurant in Soho.
Riddel and Del Monte tried to arrange another meeting with Kent at La Coquille restaurant, but by this time Kent had already been arrested.
Riddell was interrogated at Scotland Yard, and her uncooperative responses convinced the officer interviewing her that she knew more than she was telling, and that immediate detention was warranted.
In 1940 Riddell was convicted of offences under the Official Secrets Act 1911, then detained under the expanded Defence Regulation 18B (DR 18B) and interned in Holloway prison.
With her eyesight failing, Riddell allowed Wolkoff to drive, and the pair's car was struck from behind, throwing Wolkoff out to her death.
The car was loaned to Hugh Hamilton, who drove it in the 1933 Mannin Beg and at Donington Park on 19 August the same year.
Riddell drove K3008 in the 1934 Rallye Paris - Saint-Raphaël Féminin, where she finished first in class and 2nd overall, and also posted fastest time of the day on the Pougues Les Eaux hill climb stage.
She appeared in the Monte Carlo rally again in 1934, this time in an AC 16/80, paired with co-driver H. Comtesse Moy.
Riddell and K3008 ran the Paris - Saint-Raphaël again in 1935, 1936, and 1938, finishing ninth in 1935 and first in class in 1938.
At the 1937 24 Hours of Le Mans an MG PB owned by George Eyston was co-driven to a sixteenth place finish by Dorothy Stanley-Turner and a driver listed as Joan Riddell.
While some have suggested that the name Joan Riddell is a conflation of Enid Riddell and Joan Richmond, one source mentions both Joan Riddell and Joan Richmond as distinct persons at the race.
Another source of biographical information for the 1937 race records a full name of Joan Hardwick Riddell, born in Wales on 16 April 1912, died July 1997 in Surrey.
A summary written shortly after the event lists Enid Riddell as Dorothy Turner's partner in an MG in the 751-1100 cc class.

Valerie Jane Bunce is an American political scientist, currently the Aaron Binenkorb Professor of International Studies and a Professor of Government at Cornell University.
She earned her BA in political science and psychology in 1970, and her MA and PhD in 1973 and 1976, respectively, both in political science.
After completing her PhD, Bunce became a professor at Lake Forest College, and then from 1977 until 1991 was a professor at Northwestern University, before joining Cornell University in 1991.
She has also been a visiting professor at the University of Chicago, The University of Zagreb, The University of Washington, and the Central European University, and was the director of the Institute for European Studies.
Bunce argued that both communist and democratic countries exhibited a similar cycle of policy innovation, in which rapid policy innovations occur whenever a new leader assumes power, followed by a period of incremental or no change until the next leadership transition.
Thomas Baylis noted that an important corollary of this theory is that secession crises in Communist regimes therefore must serve a functionalist purpose, which he viewed as a counterintuitive but fundamental claim.
Bunce explains the near-simultaneous collapse of Europe's major communist regimes in terms of their fundamental designs: that they necessarily divided the powerful and strengthened those without power, while also hampering economic performance, a design which was exacerbated by the particular context of the 1980s.
In 2019, a citation analysis by Kim and Grofman listed Bunce as the 37th most cited woman who is currently an active political science faculty member at an American university.
Bunce's work has also been referenced in major media outlets like The New York Times, The Washington Post, Foreign Affairs, and The New Republic.
Paleo Crossing Site, also known as the Old Dague Farm Site, is an archaeological site near Sharon Center, Ohio in Medina County where Clovis artifacts dated to 13,000 years ago were found.
There were also two post holes and tools that were made from flint from the Ohio River Valley in Indiana, 500 miles from Paleo Crossing, which indicates that the hunter-gatherers had a widespread social network and traveled across distances relatively quickly.
The Clovis culture spread across North America and the people are thought to be the ancestors of most native peoples in America.
There are about 200 Clovis sites on the continent, but most did not provide a lot of information about the Clovis lifestyle.
The Paleo Crossing site, one of the oldest sites in Ohio, had two or three post holes and refuse pits that contained charcoal.
The structure, carbon-dated at about 10,200 B.C., could have burned, based on the presence of charcoal found in a post hole.
A person integral to the work was Metin Eren who began his efforts when, as a junior in high school, he joined the Museum's field program in 2000.
Now with a Ph.D. in anthropology, Eren and Dr. Brian Redmond, Curator of Archaeology, have collaborated on papers describing the Paleo Crossing stone tool collection.
In addition, they believe that the people at Paleo Crossing probably traveled more than 500 kilometers, because hunter-gatherers don't travel in a straight line.
Small bands of hunters used the four acre site as a place to meet up with one another and exchange information, perform ceremonial rituals, and plan hunts for big game.
The 22-acre Nobles Pond Site in Stark County was a larger meeting place for bands of hunters, with a large collection of tools made from Ohio flint.

In probability theory, a random recursive tree is a rooted tree chosen uniformly at random from the recursive trees with a given number of vertices.
In a recursive tree with formula_1 vertices, the vertices are labeled by the numbers from formula_2 to formula_1, and the labels must decrease along any path to the root of the tree.
Alternatively, a random recursive tree can be generated by starting from a single vertex, the root of the tree, labeled formula_2, and then for each successive label from formula_5 to formula_1 choosing a random vertex with a smaller label to be its parent.
If each of the choices is uniform and independent of the other choices, the resulting tree will be a random recursive tree.
With high probability, the longest path from the root to the leaf of an formula_1-vertex random recursive tree has length formula_8.
The expected distance of the formula_10th vertex from the root is the formula_10th harmonic number, from which it follows by linearity of expectation that the sum of all root-to-vertex path lengths is, with high probability, formula_12.
The expected number of leaves of the tree is formula_13 with variance formula_14, so with high probability the number of leaves is formula_15.
lists several applications of random recursive trees in modeling phenomena including disease spreading, pyramid schemes, the evolution of languages, and the growth of computer networks.

Peace of Mind Canada (formerly known as Peace of Mind 204), founded in 2015, is a Canadian non-profit organization with a principal focus on mental health in young people.
The organization has one main program in Manitoba and Ontario, consisting of the planning of events that provide a safe space for youth to share their personal stories about their previous struggles with their mental health .
Loizza Aquino founded Peace of Mind 204 (later renamed Peace of Mind Canada) while enrolled at Institut collegial Vincent Massey Collegiate in 2015, following the death by suicide of her best friend, Miguel Labossiere .
The organization's first event was held on September 17, 2015, which was attended by then Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger and 200 students .
In November 2016, Aquino was invited to the Manitoba Legislature to represent the organization and advocate for youth in the province.
Mr. James Allum, the MLA for the provincial riding of Fort Garry-Riverview took time during the member statements in the Legislative Assembly to acknowledge the work of the organization .
The organization's largest event was held at the Manitoba Theatre for Young People a year later, with financial support from the Government of Manitoba, 700 students were in attendance .
The event took place at the University of Toronto St. George campus in Toronto, Ontario, and was sponsored by the university's department of political science .
In late 2019, a student group chapter was formed at the University of Manitoba by Jelynn Dela Cruz, Vice-President of Student Life for the students' union at the university, and the group held a mental health awareness event during the mental health week at the post-secondary educational institution, in conjunction with the Jack.org and Active Minds chapters .
Winnipeg radio personality David 'Ace' Burpee of Virgin Radio Winnipeg served as one of the original members of the board of directors for the organization.
In June 2017, Canadian financial institution Toronto-Dominion Bank named Aquino a TD Scholar , in part due to her work with Peace of Mind Canada in the community .
In 2018, the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) featured the organization in the 'Life & Money' section on the website for the Canadian financial institution .
In 2019, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada chose Aquino's story about the founding of the organization to be highlighted as part of the Immigration Matters campaign .

Lynn Aldrich (born 1944) is an American sculptor whose diverse works draw on a wide range of high and low cultural influences and materials.
Aldrich has exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Hammer Museum, Santa Monica Museum of Art, and venues throughout the United States and Europe.
She has been recognized with a Guggenheim Fellowship (2014) and public art collection acquisitions by LACMA, MOCA Los Angeles and the Portland Art Museum, among others.
Her father was a veterinary pathologist at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and National Zoo (Washington, DC) and science was an influence on her early thought and interests and later art practice.
She initially studied biology at Stetson University, working as a virology lab assistant at Smith, Kline & French Laboratories (Philadelphia) during college summers.
After shifting to English Literature, she graduated from University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (BA, 1966), where she met future husband, Michael Aldrich.
After deciding to move west, they settled in Glendale, California in 1970, where they raised three sons, Jack, Matthew, and Daniel.
Always interested in visual art, Aldrich took painting and drawing classes at Glendale Community College, before studying art at California State University, Northridge (BA, 1984) with painter Marvin Harden and at Art Center College of Design (MFA, 1986) with artists Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe and Stephen Prina.
In graduate school she conceived a working strategy that emphasized materials, poetic allusions, three-dimensionality, shifts in scale and reductive simplicity rather than a signature style; her influences included theorist Paul Virilio, artist/writer Robert Smithson, minimalists Donald Judd and Anne Truitt, and Californians Robert Irwin and Ed Ruscha.
Aldrich exhibited widely in her first decade, gaining notice for solo shows at Krygier/Landau, Sue Spaid Fine Art, and Sandroni Rey (California), the Santa Monica Museum of Art, Cristinerose Gallery (New York) and Art Affairs Gallery (Amsterdam), as well as group shows at venues including MOCA Los Angeles, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, San Francisco Art Institute, P.P.O.W.
In Aldrich's later career, Carl Berg Gallery, Ben Maltz Gallery, Edward Cella Art+Architecture, DENK Gallery (all Los Angeles) and Jenkins Johnson Gallery (New York), among others, have held solo exhibitions of her work; her group exhibitions include shows at LACMA, MOCA Pacific Design Center, the Hammer Museum, San Jose Museum of Art, Paula Cooper Gallery and Museum of Biblical Art (both New York).
Aldrich has also taught art at Azusa Pacific University (2011–5), Mars Hill Graduate School (2002–7), Art Center College of Design (1987–1998), UCLA, Otis College of Art and Design, and Biola University.
Aldrich incorporates a wide range of reference points in her work: the excess and spectacle of consumer culture and life in Los Angeles, art and literary influences, natural and celestial phenomena, and Christian longing for revelation and transcendence.
Critics often note various, resulting dualities in her work: banality and profundity, humorous spectacle and near-apocalyptic concern, scientific empiricism and faith.
Writers also emphasize Aldrich's playing of artistic influences (including the Light and Space movement) off of feminist strategies that inject everyday and domestic objects and notions into fine art.
She creates through processes of accumulation, repetition and placement that preserve the fundamental, recognizable nature of her source materials; the resulting works (and their punning titles) fuse, deconstruct or short-circuit form, function and meaning, creating physical and conceptual conundrums that reveal inherent metaphors and poetic essences in common objects.
Reviews of Aldrich's major mid-career shows (1997–2008) suggest that she embraced a more assertive theatricality and sensual extravagance, mining consumer society's inadvertent beauty and revealing its perils.
More whimsical, busier in its color, spatial and textural range, this work pushed further against minimalist restrictions concerning narrative and referential content, connecting more strongly to bodily and connotative associations and yielding more overtly philosophical and theological themes involving the earth and cosmos, society, and perception.
Several tragicomic works mimicked aquatic life with commercial products (often from the petroleum economy that threatens oceanic life), offering ironic, furtive critiques of consumer society.
In the later-2000s, Aldrich explored metaphors involving water, thirst and longing in works using galvanized steel rain gutters whose meaning (and titles) balanced between formal object, suburban vernacular and metaphor.
Aldrich has been recognized with fellowships from the John S. Guggenheim Foundation (2014), J. Paul Getty Trust (2000), and City of Los Angeles (COLA, 1999).
Aldrich's work belongs to the public collections of LACMA, MOCA Los Angeles, New York Public Library, Portland Art Museum, Ahmanson Art Gallery (Irvine, CA), Calder Foundation, Cornell Fine Arts Museum (Winter Park, FL), and Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art (Santa Barbara, CA), as well as many private collections.

Robert Bunning (13 December 1859 – 12 August 1936) was a Western Australian businessman involved in the construction, timber, and sawmill industries.
The Bunnings moved back to London, though Robert and his younger brother Arthur initially stayed in Chicago for work; by the 1880s they had returned to London to help their father erect a church spire.
Robert and Arthur Bunning formed a partnership business, Bunning Brothers, in 1886, and soon won construction contracts from the Western Australian government for expansions to Fremantle Lunatic Asylum and Roebourne's hospital.
They built the Weld Club and Trinity Church in the early 1890s, as well as developing a large property portfolio, including four brickworks.
This led them to buy a timber mill in North Dandalup in 1897, and later set up sawmills across the state's South West region.
He became the association's president in 1904, a position he held until 1925, and was its representative on the executive of the Western Australian Employers' Federation from 1917 to 1936.
After listening to various speaker lauding him, Bunning started his reply speech, but after approximately five minutes he collapsed, and was dead by the time a doctor attending the party had rushed to his side.
Bunning's business was expanded by his sons, listed as a public company in 1952, and taken over by Wesfarmers in 1994.
The business, focused on Bunnings Warehouse hardware stores, became a national and international brand, with stores across Australia and New Zealand, and until 2018, the UK and Ireland.

The Mandela Effect is a 2019 action comedy film written and directed by David Guy Levy, and it stars Charlie Hofheimer as a grieving husband and father, who becomes obsessed with random facts and events that most of us have either forgotten or remembered incorrectly.
Thinking it cannot be that simple, he develops a strong opinion for the theory that these false memories must lead back to a more universal concept.
As the couple reluctantly rummage through Sam's possessions in her bedroom, Brendan cannot bear to finish the task, due to overwhelming feelings of grief and sorrow.
Even though he and his brother-in-law, Matt (Robin Lord Taylor), are steadfast in their belief that their long-standing memory is accurate, no evidence can be found that the name was ever changed.
Much like a large percent of the general population, Claire wrongly believes that the character wore a monocle on his face.
In addition, the couple are shocked to learn that Curious George never actually had a tail, despite them recalling him having one.
This is a key link back to Sam's death because of the Curious George doll that contributed to Sam's untimely demise.
This causes Brendan to come to the bold decision that these false memories are actually part of a parallel universe that exists side-by-side with ours.
Since Brendan is employed as a video game programmer, he believes that his own creativity lends credence to his strange obsession.
However, this time, while allowing Sam to play near the water, Claire and Ben insist that she leave her Curious George doll with them, in essence saving Sam's life.
Brendan works as video game designer, which he tries to assimilate other concepts of reality to, due to his creative mind.

For the Invasion of Poland that started on 1 September 1939, XXI Army Corps was part of 3rd Army (Georg von Küchler) within Army Group North (Fedor von Bock).
At the beginning of the campaign, XXI Army Corps advanced from a position southwest of Osterode in East Prussia in a southwesterly direction towards Grudziądz and Chełmo, with the goal of closing the Danzig Corridor and to unite with the 4th Army's forces advancing into Poland from Pomerania.
The Battle of Grudziądz was fought between the XXI's two infantry divisions and the Polish 4th and 16th Infantry Divisions, ending in German victory and the city's capture by 4 September 1939.
The XXI Army Corps was supported in its advances on the Polish 16th Infantry Division in Grudziądz, which was protected on its right by the Polish 4th, by heavy Luftwaffe aerial attacks against 4th Infantry Divisions, taking pressure off the left flank of XXI Army Corps.
Although the corps inflicted heavy losses on the Polish formations, the 4th and 16th Infantry Divisions withdrew from the area in good order, surrendering the city to the Wehrmacht.
With Grudziądz in German hands, German engineer units were tasked with the repairs of various damaged or destroyed bridges across the Vistula to finalize the connection between the 3rd and 4th Armies.
Group Falkenhorst was strengthened by the addition of 10th Panzer Division, which had spent the first days of the invasion in Army Group North's reserves, as well as several fortress units from East Prussia, but was weakened by the removal of 228th Infantry Division.
The unit concentrated its forces in the area of the Pisa river, and moved south towards Łomża on 7 September 1939.
The subsequent Battle of Łomża saw 21st Infantry Division capture the town after a lengthy delay action by forces of the Polish 33rd Infantry Regiment.
In the meantime, the XIX Army Corps (Heinz Guderian) had transferred from Pomerania over East Prussia to the sector and was subsequently, to the detriment of the fighting strength of Group Falkenhorst, assigned control of the 10th Panzer Division and the East Prussian fortress units.
Guderian's XIX Army Corps now took the lead of the offensive movements in the sector, with XXI Army Corps advancing along Guderian's right flank.
However, XXI Army Corps was seriously hindered in its mobility compared to XIX Army Corps with its higher degree of mobilization and soon fell behind Guderian's progress when faced with fortified units of the Polish 18th Infantry Division at Nowogród.
In this function, it made contact with forces of the Red Army that entered Poland from the east with the Soviet invasion that started on 17 September.
Falkenhorst was tasked with the execution of Operation Weserübung, the invasions of Denmark and Norway, by the German dictator Adolf Hitler on 21 February 1940.
The forces included five infantry divisions, two mountain divisions, and six naval task forces of the Kriegsmarine to deliver the landing forces to the entry points at Narvik, Trondheim, Bergen, Kristiansand/Arendal, Oslo, and Egersund.
With the ordinal number 21 freed up for German army corps, a new corps with that number, XXI Mountain Corps, was created in 1943.

The 2016 Bell 525 Relentless prototype crash occurred at approximately 11:48 AM Central Daylight Time during a test flight on July 6, 2016 near Italy, Texas, destroying the prototype Bell 525 Relentless helicopter and killing the two occupants.
The aircraft, carrying registration N525TA, broke up in flight while traveling about at an altitude of about ; the main rotor contacted and severed the tail boom due to severe vertical oscillatory motions.
The crew were performing one engine inoperative (OEI) recovery testing; during the test a scissors-mode vibration in the main rotor, resulted in involuntary collective control inputs and the unintended biomechanical feedback loop exacerbated the vibration, until the rotor contacted the tail-boom.
The destruction of the prototype delayed type certification of the Bell 525 for a year and a filter was added to the collective input control to avoid recurrence of the biomechanical feedback.
At the time of the accident, it had accumulated 200 hours of flight time while serving as the primary development and envelope expansion (D&EE) vehicle.
The accident occurred during Test number 184 (approximately the 184th flight of the test aircraft) while recording data for record 51 (the 51st test point of test flight 184).
The test flight lifted off at approximately 10:38 AM and the pre-planned sequence of tests included a simulation of several one engine inoperative (OEI) scenarios, which simulated the power loss associated with the failure of one of the aircraft's two engines; the OEI simulation was accomplished through a special software mode which limited the output of both engines without shutting down any engine.
Engaging the OEI mode caused the rotor rotation speed to decrease, and the flight crew lowered the collective to 50% or less, which restored rotor rotation speed.
In January 2018, the US National Transportation Safety Board released its findings, saying that the aircraft had suffered from severe inflight vibrations, which resulted in a loss of rotor RPM, subsequent rotor flapping and rotor impact with the tailboom, causing the inflight break-up.
During Record 51, which was to be the final OEI scenario of Test 184, the software dropped engine torque output from 92% to approximately 60% at 3.5 seconds into the test.
This was performed at the rated not-to-exceed speed of the aircraft, true airspeed and reduced the rotor rotation speed to 90% by 6 seconds into the test; the flight crew lowered the collective to only 60%, and the rotor rotation speed never recovered above 93%.
At the same time, a significant vibration at a frequency of 6 Hz was recorded in the tail rotor gearbox and tail mast.
By 10 seconds into the test, the 6 Hz vibration was recorded throughout the airframe and continued to grow; the pilot's chair experienced vertical accelerations of ±3  at 12 and 17.5 seconds into the test, with a displacement amplitude reaching ±7% of nominal position.
At approximately 20.25 seconds into the test, the main rotor red blade was flapping out-of-plane with a displacement sufficient to exceed the instrument's capacity; 0.5 seconds later, recorded airframe loads indicated the main rotor had struck the tail boom.
Although the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) memory was not damaged, none of the recorded audio was pertinent to the investigation as it did not appear to have been working during the test.
The NTSB stated that a working CVDR would have helped to determine when the pilots first detected the severe vibration and a cockpit image recorder for test and experimental helicopters would have shown the actions they took to respond to it.
In its preliminary report, the NTSB concluded that biomechanical feedback (unintended control inputs resulting from involuntary pilot motions induced by vehicle accelerations) for the collective control contributed to the aircraft's vibration.
The cyclic control was equipped with a biomechanical feedback filter to prevent unintended inputs, but the collective control was not so equipped, resulting in a feedback loop which worsened the 6 Hz vibration.
In addition, the prototype 525's attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) was designed to detect and respond to uncommanded accelerations to reduce their effects, such as external buffeting from winds.
After the accident, Bell amended the control paradigm, improving the filter on side-stick collective inputs to block transmission of stick vibrations to the rotor system.
Prior to returning the 525 to flight, Bell also made the onboard voice and flight data recorder operational, recorded and archived all communication between the flight and ground crews, and installed cockpit video cameras.
In 2018, the NTSB issued a recommendation to the Flight Test Safety Committee to develop guidance for the use of cockpit voice and flight data recorders during test flights.

Pseudocoris heteroptera, the torpedo wrasse or zebra wrasse, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a wrasse from the family Labridae.
The males of this species are strikingly coloured deep turquoise with a wide black irregular stripe behind the eye, alternating light and dark bands on the body towards the caudal fin which has dark outer rays causing the tail to appear deeply forked.
The juveniles are mainly white in colour but are marked with a black stripe along their back and a wide black stripe along the flanks.
They can quickly change colour as they move from swimming near the seabed into open water to feed when the striped pattern of the female fades to an plain grey rendering the fish difficult to discern.
There are 9 spines and 12 rays in the dorsal fin and 3 spines and 12 rays in the anal fin.
It is distributed from the Line Islands west to Indonesia, north as far as Taiwan and southern Japan, and in the south its distribution extends to the Great Barrier Reef.
The defensive behaviour of this species is to stay away from the substrate and remain some distance from the perceived threat and not to dive into shelter.

After Ueta was arrested for robbery and murder on January 28, 2010, news agencies and major newspapers switched to reporting her real name officially.

On said date, the second Supreme Court trial, again headed by Hiroshi Koike, rejected Ueta's appeal, thus confirming her death sentence.
Ueta appealed the decision, alleging that the Supreme Court was prejudiced against her, but on August 23rd, that appeal was also rejected, confirming the death sentence for the final time.
Miyuki Ueta is the 16th post-war and second female prisoner to be given such a sentence, preceded only by the aforementioned Kanae Kijima.
One magazine supporting Masumi Hayashi, convicted of a mass poisoning in 1988 and currently incarcerated in the Osaka Detention House, drawed comparisons between her and Ueta's case, despite them having no relation.
Since her 2009 conviction, Ueta was housed in the Matsue District Prison, but in 2017, she was transferred to the Hiroshima Detention House.

Central United Talmudical Academy of Monsey or Central UTA of Monsey (CUTAM) is a Hasidic jewish school, with separate boys' and girls' campuses, in Airmont, New York.
There were expansion plans to have a new campus with a capacity about 2,000 students in 44 classrooms, with half of each student count being boys and girls, and with each gender's school building having of space.
By 2017 the boys' school remained in an off-site leased building while it had moved the girls' school to the new site.
In November 2018 the school filed a federal lawsuit against the Village of Airmont, accusing it of wrongfully using building code and zoning rules against the school and against the Suffern Central School District for denying transportation to the school's disabled students.
In 2020 Vincent Briccetti, a U.S. district court judge, ruled that the trial may proceed as he found enough evidence for such.
When the Koninklijke Fabriek was restarted as Nederlandsche Fabriek van Werktuigen en spoorwegmaterieel (later Werkspoor) on 22 May 1891, the shipbuilding activities were stopped.
In 1893 former employees of the Koninklijke Fabriek then contacted Jacob Theodoor Cremer, and he founded the new company Nederlandsche Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NSM).
The literal meaning of the name was 'Dutch shipbuilding company', a name that would later prove not to be an exaggeration.
NSM acquired (leased) the terrain of the former shipyard of the Koninklijke Fabriek, but not the terrain of the engine factory.
Because it used the grounds and the former employees of the Koninklijke Fabriek, the NSM was a successor of the Koninklijke Fabriek, but only from an organizational perspective.
Geertsema for 15; H.C. van den Honert 10; Stoomvaart Maatschappij Nederland for 62; Oostersche Handel en Reederij 10; Johann Gottlieb Sillem for 12; Firma Lippman Rosenthal 10; L. Serrurier 10.
1 The shipyard would only be competitive if the workers could work in piece rate pay, doing the same work all the time.
The latter led to disturbance in quick shipbuilding and prevented the use of piece rate pay, because the work was not continuous.
2 The nucleus of most of the workforce of current shipyards in Amsterdam had still been educated in the art of building wooden ships.
Young people would have to be educated in shipbuilding, and they could no doubt produce significantly more if they had an interest to do so.
3 The necessary materials for shipbuilding could be acquired (delivered) in Amsterdam for nearly the same prices as in other places with successful shipbuilding industries.
A Dutch shipyard that delivered solid work at a competing price might also count on a fair amount of work for Dutch shipping lines.
This was especially the case now that these shipping lines got more and more convinced that their ships should preferably be built at Dutch shipyards, and that the government demanded it in certain contracts with these shipping lines.
5 A good shipbuilder that was located in an industrial center like Amsterdam, next to a renowned machine- and boiler factory (the Nederlandsche Fabriek van Werktuigen en spoorwegmaterieel (later Werkspoor)) did not have to build its own machines and boilers.
That way he could focus on the core business, while remaining free to buy machinery at the best conditions, or according to the choice of the principal.
The plan for the shipyard had also determined that the terrain of the former shipyard of Van Vlissingen ( Third Conradstraat) would be the location of the new shipyard.
Plans to move to the other side of the IJ had been considered, but had been rejected for the moment, because the workers lived on the south side of the IJ.
The tender was for an office, a carpentry hall, a workplace with engine room and boiler house, a lunchroom with doorman's home.
It also called for filling up a harbor and making fences and shoring for the terrain on the Wittenburgergracht and third Conrad street.
On 7 March 1895 the NSM launched its first vessel, the Amsterdam V. It was a steam vessel of 65.5 m and 600 ihp meant for a river service between Amsterdam and Mannheim.
It was a steel ship of 1,700 tons, and was claimed to be the biggest KPM ship for service in the Indies.
On 7 August 1896 a suction dredger of about 350 tons was launched for the shipyard Conrad, and ultimately the Russian government.
Another was launched at about the same time, and the third, a suction dredger hopper barge followed on 5 September 1896.
This terrain was connected to the former shipyard Gebroeders van Lindern, which also exploited the Koningsdok that layed just west of it.
It measured 29.25 m by 21.36 m, had a hold of 3.32 m, weighed 440,000 kg and could lift 1,250,000 kg.
The dock had four 18 inch centrifugal pumps each with their own compound steam engine and each with a capacity of 2,000 tons an hour.
Soon the shipyard had a serious lack of space, and in 1899 the company leased a terrain from the Amsterdam Municipality to build a new fifth slipway.
It was not a structural solution: The Oosterdoksluis, which connected the shipyard to the IJ only allowed ships with a beam of up to 15.4 m to pass.
In the end this was solved, but there was also a railway bridge behind it, and this would not be extended to more than 18 m.
The infrastructural and other problems of the Amsterdam shipbuilding industry were so big that in 1905 the shipyards in Amsterdam built only 15,000 of the 180,000 tons of ships that were built.
In 1907 the tonnage for sea-going ships was 51,000 tons, with the NSM as second biggest shipyard with three ships for 10,500 tons.
In 1908 the NSM was the third biggest Dutch shipyard, with 4 ships for 6,600 tons after De Schelde with 11,000 and Fijenoord with 10,800 tons.
Nevertheless, the interests of the Rijkswerf which was also dependent on the Oosterdoksluis, and therefore those of the Dutch navy, were probably more important.
In 1909 the NSM was the Dutch shipyard that launched most tonnage with 15,054 tons, and the shipyard that had by far the most tonnage still under construction.
Of this four steamships, a tugboat and a floating dock totaling 26,990 tons by NSM, De Schelde was second with four steamships 12,140 ton.
NSM launched five ships for 31,000 brt; RDM six ships for 31,000; Fijenoord three for 15,000; Wilton two for 1,250; De Schelde one for 9,000t; Bonn & Mees one for 7,000.
It had three centrifugal pumps driven by electrical engines of 110 hp, capable of floating the drydock in four hours at maximum load.
These pumps, and three smaller pumps driven by 35 hp electrical engines, as well as tubing, had been delivered by Firma Louis Smulders, machine factory 'Jaffa' from Utrecht.
If the cost of building a ship was 90-100 guilders a ton in July 1914, it was claimed to be near 350 guilders in January 1917.
The real problems for the Dutch shipping lines began with the resumption of the unrestricted submarine warfare on 1 February 1917, and especially the American declaration of war with Germany on 6 April 1917.
The objective was to get supplies at prices more affordable to the public, but this of course limited the profits of the shipping lines.
The motor schooners were small ships, they were smaller than the minimum size of 400 tons that the government could impound.
One of the highlights built by the NSM during the war was the SS Jan Pieterszoon Coen of 159 m by 18.4 m and 11,140 GRT launched on 30 September 1914.
She was built while the entrance to the IJ from the shipyard did not allow ships with such width to pass.
All in all the maximum width of the exit from the Oosterdok spelled the end for the location of the shipyard on the Conradstraat.
Many of the workshops were in a main building of 140 by 125 m with overhead cranes and many modern machines.
There was a drill machine that made up to 32 holes at a time, with the sheet metal moving automatically to the next position for the holes to be drilled.
In an engine house there were machines to transform the electricity from the municipal grid to the kind required to drive power tools, all machines being driven electrically.
The lower end of these slipways was below the waterline and closed of by doors, so ships could easily be launched by letting water onto the slipway.
On the day of the opening the new shipyard started its activity with the construction of a new floating drydock using two of the slipways at the same time.
Mr. Goedkoop, CEO of NSM noted that it was a bit weird to open a new shipyard while many were closing down.
Shipping lines ordered almost nothing, and competition was so fierce that only very well established companies made a chance to get orders that did not result in a loss, or resulted in only a very limited loss.
All this made that there was little reason for festivities, especially because there was no end in sight for the problems.
However, the shareholders, staff and laborers, from the board till the lowest apprentice should realize they would have to be satisfied with somewhat less than before.
Indeed NSM increased its number of employees by 50% in the second half of 1922, but it also lowered its dividend over 1922 to 5% even while it had enough work.
It was for a new Ocean liner and the first order in 18 years that the SMN did not place at the NSM.
NSM offered for 6,270,000 guilders, but the Ateliers et Chantiers de la Loire in Saint-Nazaire offered for 4,900,000 guilders, something made possible by currency manipulation.
After the drydocks under construction at the new shipyard had been delivered, the NSM did not succeed in getting orders for the new shipyard.
In 1925 the NSM pursued multiple orders for cost price, or below, but would not succeed in getting a single order.
In the evening of 10 December 1925 a fire broke out below the 180 m long big slipway on the Conrad street.
The tanker was insured for 3,000,000 guilders, and a new one was laid shortly after on the new shipyard on the other side of the IJ.
On 23 January 1926 a replacement for the lost tanker was laid down at the new shipyard on the other side of the IJ.
On 14 December 1926 the company officially moved to the new shipyard when the offices and seat of the board were moved.
The number of ships launched always lagged behind, but was 7 for the whole of 1926, and 33 for the first three quarters of 1927.
The tonnage ordered by and under construction for Dutch companies on Dutch shipyards had diminished from 213,000 brt to 182,400 brt.
Operating on the world market for ship construction, the NSM was severely impeded by the Dutch government clinging to the gold standard.
There was no dividend over 1932, and work in progress dwindled down to a handful of ships and bridges in early 1933.
1935 saw a slight increase in the number of ships under construction at NSM, but orders were still taken at a loss.
Nevertheless, at the same price in the buyer currency, the NSM had to work at a loss while foreign companies made a profit.
From a financial perspective the orders in progress in 1936 or concluded before the devaluation would not contribute much to profits, because many materials would have to be bought with a weak guilder.
The result allowed a depreciation of 251,463 guilders, and a (real) profit of 133,988 guilders, which allowed a dividend of 5%.
In the shareholders meeting of 25 April 1940 the board stated that this fifth slipway had a direct relation with the expected construction of battle cruisers, cf.
In the morning of 10 May she was in her red primer, in the evening she was grey, and left for England without a single trial run of her engines.
A new crane that had been hidden during the war, and some repaired cranes would enable the shipyard to build some 4,000 ton ships within a few months.
A public company Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij would be founded to and all assets transferred to this company called NDSM.

Elvis Eduardo Hidrobo Amoroso (born 4 August 1963) is a Venezuelan politician and lawyer who currently serves as the Comptroller General of Venezuela as of 23 October 2018.
In August 2017, he was elected as first and second vice president of the 2017 Constituent National Assembly and served until October 2017.
In the parliamentary elections of 1993 he was elected Deputy to the Congress of the Republic of the Radical Cause by circuit 2 of the Aragua state within the VIII Legislature .
In 2015, he ran as magistrate of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) after losing re-election in the parliamentary elections of 6 December.
However, the Venezuelan constitution and the Organic Law of the Supreme Court of Justice establish that to be a magistrate the lawyer must be at least 15 years old in the exercise of the law, a requirement that Amoroso did not meet because he graduated as a lawyer at the Bicentennial University of Aragua in 2006.
He was elected as first vice president of the 2017 National Constituent Assembly from 18 August to 27 October of the same year when he is appointed second vice president.
Following Juan Guaidó's Latin American tour in February 2019, Amoroso alleged in March that Guaidó had not explained how he paid for the trip, and stated there were inconsistencies between his level of spending and income.
Amoroso said that Guaidó's 90 trips abroad had cost $94,000, and that Guaidó had not explained the source of the funds.
Based on these alleged financial discrepancies, Amoroso said Guaidó would be barred from running for public office for the maximum time allowed by law—fifteen years.
The comptroller general is not a judicial body; according to constitutional lawyer José Vicente Haro, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights ruled in 2011, after Leopoldo López was barred from holding office, that an administrative body cannot disallow a public servant from running.
Constitutional law expert Juan Manuel Raffalli stated that Article 65 of Venezuela's Constitution provides that such determinations may only be made by criminal courts, after judgment of criminal activity.
On 22 September 2017, Canada sanctioned Amoroso due to rupture of Venezuela's constitutional order following the 2017 Venezuelan Constituent Assembly election.
On 9 November 2017, Amoroso was sanctioned by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control after the 2017 Venezuelan Constituent Assembly election.

Georgina Fanny Cheffins (1863 – 29 July 1932) was an English militant suffragette who on her imprisonment in 1912 went on hunger strike for which action she received the Hunger Strike Medal from the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU).
In 1891 age 27 she is listed as living with her recently widowed father at The Grange House in the hamlet of Grange in Kent.
The 1901 Census records her as living with Eva (Evangeline) Lewis (1863–1928) in the St James's Mission in Sedgley in Cheshire; the Census lists them as 'lay sisters'.
In March 1912 the 49-year-old Cheffins threw a brick through the window of Gorringer's, a department store on Buckingham Palace Road in London.
On being arrested she appeared at Bow Street Magistrates' Court on 12 March 1912 before being arraigned at the London Sessions seven days later on 19 March 1912.
At her trial Cheffins said that she was a suffragist by conviction, because, after living and working among the very poor for more than twenty years, she had come to the conclusion that all efforts to improve their conditions were futile without the benefit of the franchise.
She supported the Women's Social and Political Union because she felt that their militant methods gave the best chance of success.
She was one of 68 women who added their signatures or initials to a handkerchief embroidered by prisoners in Holloway Prison in March 1912, and kept until 1950 by Mary Ann Hilliard, and still available to view at the Priest House in West Hoathly.

Bei Cun (), pen name of Kang Hong ( (Changting County, Fujian, September 16, 1965) is a Chinese avant-garde Christian novelist.
Kang Hong experienced the Cultural Revolution as a child first exposed to human evil, a theme that will return in his novels.
When a storm hits, all horses in a group follow their leader, the Old Black Horse, not realizing that it is as clueless as they are about how to save the herd.
Most Chinese critics divide Bei Cun's writing career in two separate stages, as an avant-garde author before the conversion to Christianity in 1992, and as a Christian novelist after that date.
They analyzed Bei Cun's pre-1992 writings and argued that, perhaps unbeknownst to the author himself, religious themes and questions were always implicitly present there.
Bei Cun was part of the generation of writers who, after the Cultural Revolution, experimented with new languages, including fastidious descriptions of objects and landscapes, and deliberate repetitions.
Most of his early novels are detective stories starting with a homicide, but the plot and the denouement are not conventional.
The real theme of the novel, it has been argued, is not murder, but the ambiguity and power of the language.
The novel depicts organized crime in Republican China through the ruthless fight between the bosses of two criminal families in Fujian, Liu Lang and Ma Da.
Liu, whose career the novel follows, consolidates the power he inherited from his father by eliminating all his rivals, including members of his own family.
Old and immensely rich, he realizes his life has no real meaning, converts to Protestantism, and is even willing to help his arch-enemy Ma.
If there is a Christian theme here, it is that women fail by pursuing a possessive romantic love, while only spiritual love would have saved them.
It tells the story of a widow, Zhou Yu, who lives in the loving memory of her husband, killed accidentally by electric shock in the rain.
Li Bailing is a rich businessman known as a philanthropist but hides two dark secrets, an incestuous relation with his adopted daughter and the murder of the policeman who tortured his father to death.
At the end of the novel, Li repents and confesses to God that his life has been dominated by anger rather than love.

The Afyon Province of western Turkey was struck by an earthquake measuring 6.5 on 23 February 2002 at 10:11 local time (07:11 UTC).
The cause of the extension is thought to be the rollback of the subducting slab of the African Plate that dips northwards beneath the Aegean.
The overall N–S extension has resulted in a series of NW–SE to W–E trending seismically active normal faults with associated rift basins.
The Afyon–Akşehir Graben lies in the hanging-wall of the low-angle Sultandağı Fault and contains nearly 1 km of late Miocene to Quaternary sedimentary fill.
The observed focal mechanism is consistent with normal faulting along a fault trending WSW–ENE, although the local trend of the basin-bounding fault is closer to WNW–ESE.
The distribution of the aftershocks, however, is consistent with a rupture along part of the Sultandağı Fault of about 40 km in length.
It also suggests that the rupture propagation was almost unidirectional towards the northwest, with the mainshock close to the southeastern end of the rupture.
A large aftershock, measuring 5.8–6.0 , occurred roughly two hours after the mainshock near the western end of the Sultandağı Fault.
Analysis of the coulomb stress transfer associated with the M6.0 earthquake on 15 December 2000 suggests that these stress changes triggered the 2002 mainshock.
The epicentre of the mainshock lies near the termination of the rupture associated with the earlier earthquake, consistent with this interpretation.
There was significant damage in 8 of the 18 districts in Afyon Province and some damage in Akşehir in Konya Province.
The most damaged building type was the traditional Himis style, which consists of timber frames with adobe and rubble infill and heavy roofs.
Frenzo is known for his combination of the languages English and Punjabi in his rap music, a combination not done by any other British rap artist.
Although, Frenzo has stated he has been rapping for a while, it wasn't until 2018 when he started producing music more seriously as a career path.
The single was released on 9 January, 2019 and was subsequently banned from BBC due to its lyrics relating to a prostitution ring.
On 1 May 2019, Frenzo appeared on the late night radio show with Kan D Man and DJ Limelight on BBC Asian Network.
Despite being heavily edited to remove any profanity, the lyrics relating to a prostitution ring were still aired on the radio.
BBC subsequently stated that the version of the track aired on the radio did not meet their editorial standards, and was played on the Asian Network, in error.
The song also garnered the attention of Chris Tuck, founder of Survivors of Abuse, who said that the song was not appropriate to be played on the radio as it depicts the exploitation of women.
He also stated that the media has taken his ban out of context due to him being of South Asian descent.
In an interview with Scarcity studios, Frenzo took the time out to show his understanding of how making music on this subject of prostitution is, in a sense, glamorising it.
However, he states that his lyrics had no implications to grooming gangs and that his music reflects those women who enter the sex industry at free will.

Janie Terrero (14 April 1858 – 22 June 1944) was a militant suffragette who as a member of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) was imprisoned and force-fed for which she received the WSPU's Hunger Strike Medal.
She married Máximo Manuel Juan Nepomuceno Terrero y Ortiz de Rosas (1856–1926), known as Manuel Terrero, the son of Manuela Rosas and the grandson of General Juan Manuel de Rosas, in December 1885.
The couple lived at Fir Tree Lodge on Bannister Road in Southampton from 1898 to 1910 when they moved to 'Rockstone House' in Pinner, which was built for them.
She formed a local branch of the Women's Social and Political Union in Pinner in Middlesex in 1910, becoming its Honorary Secretary.
At her home 'Rockstone House' she and her husband gave drawing-room parties in support of the WSPU in 1905 and 1907.
In 1911 Lady Constance Bulwer-Lytton was the guest speaker at a garden party given by the Terreros in support of the WSPU at their home.
She was among 200 women arrested in March 1912 who had taken part in a window-smashing campaign in London to coincide with the reading of the Conciliation Bill in Parliament.
If I should get into prison don't pay my fine but let me go through it properly ...” On 2 March 1912 she appeared at Bow Street Magistrates' Court to answer charges of wilful damage after smashing windows.
On being convicted at the London Sessions on 19 March 1912 she received a sentence of four months in Holloway Prison where she went on hunger strike and was twice force-fed.
A prison doctor ended her force-feeding, presumably because of the effect it was having on her health, and she was released a few days before the end of her sentence.
To those who intend to be actively militant, I want to say this; you cannot imagine how strong you feel in prison.
Some people wonder at the courage of our women, but I believe physical courage is a common human attribute, & I do not see why women should possess it in a lesser degree than men...
Terrero refused to sign a petition calling for the 'ousting' of Emmeline and Frederick Pethick-Lawrence from the WSPU in 1912, and appears to have taken little part in the campaign for women's suffrage thereafter.
In 1939 the widowed Terrero was living at 62 Hillfield Court in Belsize Park in Hampstead; Jane Beddall Terrero de Rosas died in her home in 1944 aged 86.
She left extensive notes detailing her treatment in Holloway and these are held in the Suffragette Fellowship Collection in the Museum of London.
The Museum of London holds a tapestry in its collection decorated in the suffragette colours of purple, white and green which was embroidered in Holloway Prison by Janie Terrero.
It is embroidered with the names of her fellow hunger strikers who were imprisoned with her at Holloway Prison for their involvement in smashing windows as part of a suffragette campaign in March 1912.

It is based in the Melbourne suburb of Williamstown, not far from where the Yarra River flows into Port Phillip Bay.
The club was founded in May 1853 as the Port Phillip Yacht Club, and is the oldest yacht club in Australia.
Early members included W.R. Probert and George F. Verdon, who ran a ship chandlery and commission agents business in Sandridge (now Port Melbourne), Dr. John Wilkins, the Surgeon for the Port of Melbourne, and Captain Charles Ferguson, the Harbour Master at Williamstown.
Initially, the club's races were held mainly on Corio Bay, where many of the club's fleet was moored between 1856 and 1864, and at St Kilda.
As the club lacked the funds to purchase its own clubhouse, meetings during the club's early years were held in at least six places around Melbourne and its suburbs.
At a meeting held at the Port Phillip Club Hotel in Flinders Street, Melbourne in 1872, the club was relaunched, and in that year it was also granted the privilege of flying the Blue Ensign of the Colony of Victoria.
The following year, 1873, the club moved its sailing activities to its present site at 120 Nelson Place, Williamstown, on account of the sheltered anchorage at that location.
Yachts on the club register were typically straight-stemmed, deep-keel cutters of from 6 to 40 tons; most were copper sheathed below the waterline, and painted black with gold embellishments.
Club meetings continued to be held mainly at the Port Phillip Club Hotel, and later in the Old Temple Court, Collins Street.
In 1886, the club received from Queen Victoria a grant of the privileges of a royal club, and the Admiralty granted a Full Warrant to fly the Blue Ensign of Her Majesty's Fleet.
In 1905, the club established its first clubhouse, by taking out a lease on Wickliffe House, on the Upper Esplanade in St Kilda.
Upon the expiry of the Wickliffe House lease in 1912, the club moved back to the city, at 375 Collins Street.
Three years later, in 1970, the clubhouse was destroyed by a fire that began in the kitchen, spread rapidly through the wooden building, and also destroyed the majority of the club's treasured relics.
In 2015, the club announced a plan to replace and extend its marina with a new floating structure that would provide berthing for 240 boats.
In early 2017, the club decided to proceed with the project in stages, with stage 1 to comprise some forty-two berths.

The Croydon typhoid outbreak of 1937, was an outbreak of typhoid fever in Croydon in 1937, resulting in more than 300 cases of typhoid, of which there were more than 40 deaths.
The origin was found to be the polluted chalk water well at Addington, London, which supplied water to up-to 40 000 people.
Coupled with issues around the co-operation between the medical officers and the administrators of the borough, three coincidental events were blamed; changes to the well structure by repair work, the employment of a new workman who was also a carrier of typhoid, and failing to chlorinate the water.
His father Charles Rimington, who worked for the Bank of England, conducted his own investigations, and by visiting and questioning those that he personally knew and that were affected, he deduced that the source of the outbreak must be the water supply.
He subsequently informed the borough engineer and presented his findings to Croydon's medical officer of health, Oscar Holden, who had initially been distracted by the recent Bournmouth typhoid outbreak and its origins in milk.
The maid from No.66 in the same road has recently developed typhoid and a little girl from No.64 is suspected of having the same disease.The milk supply in all these cases is not the same, shell fish and watercress have not been partaken of, the only common thing appears to be water.
The source of the illness remained a mystery until 3 November 1937, the day after Holden requested the aid of Ernest T. Conybeare, the Ministry of Health's expert on typhoid, who mapped out the cases in the traditional epidemiological method.
Harold Gourley, an eminent civil engineer and Sir Humphry Rolleston, who was previously physician-in-ordinary to King George V, became expert assessors, with the Ministry of Health's appointed lawyer Harold Murphy, KC, leading the inquiry, which began on 6 December 1937 at the height of the outbreak.
How that well became infected is a question that cannot be answered with absolute certainty, but all the circumstances and probabilities point so strongly in one direction that I feel justified in coming to a definite conclusion on the subject.
That conclusion is that the well was infected by the fact that at the end of September and during October, 1937, men, one of whom was an active carrier of typhoid, were working in the well and that during large parts of such period water from the well, unfiltered and unchlorinated, was being pumped to supply.
The well at Addington, 250 feet deep and 10 feet in diameter, began construction work at the end of September 1937.
The origin of the typhoid came from a workman, who had become unwell with typhoid fever during the First World War, but hadn't realised he was a carrier.
Murphy, who pointed out that a number of practitioners would not be familiar with cases of typhoid and were not alerted to the fact that water was a risk.
The Lord’s Revelation to the Virgin Mary Church building, which can be found at the centre of Kretinga Town, is one of the oldest churches in Samogitia.
They were built by a nobleman of the Lithuanian-Polish Commonwealth, Jonas Karolis Chodkevich, on his wife’s initiative, and the development of the whole town of Kretinga is directly tied to the establishment of the Franciscan monastery.
The monastery and the church were raided by the Swedish army in 1659 and again in 1710; however, the post-Chodkevich ruler of Kretinga – Kazimieras Povilas Jonas Sapiega – took care of repairing the buildings and renewed the altar of the church.
In 1907-1912 the church was rebuilt, two side naves were annexed and a spacious masonry transept was built, as well as a new wooden tower.
In the beginning of the 19 century, priests who had been condemned by the Czar of Russia settled there, along with the monks of other monasteries that had closed.
However, the cultural significance of the monastery grew in the 20 century, when a modern school was built in the inter-war period: St. Anthony’s Mission College, St. Anthony’s Palace.
At that time, the monastery had its own press and book bindery, a wealthy library and even a movie theatre; therefore, it was considered to be the administrative and spiritual centre for Lithuania’s Franciscans.
In the middle of the 20 century, the church was damaged by the fire and was also partially damaged during WWII.
The Lord’s Revelation to Virgin Mary Church can be attributed to the architectural styles of the Gothic and Renaissance; however, Baroque characteristics are also present.
In total, seven altars were created in the church during the 17 to 18 centuries, with carvings, sculptures, a decorated pulpit and painting of St. Anthony with great sacral value.
Under the central altar, members of the Chodkevich family, the founders of the church, are buried along with the Franciscan monks.
Norma Louise Matheson (September 13, 1929 – July 28, 2019) was an American politician, political strategist, activist, and conservationist who served as the First Lady of Utah from 1977 until 1985.
Matheson, the wife of former Governor Scott M. Matheson, was considered a pioneer for women in Utah politics and the matriarch of the Matheson political family.
As a child, she moved with her parents to Philadelphia and San Francisco so her father could attend medical school to become an obstetrician.
She met her future husband, Scott M. Matheson, at the age of 16 while both were students at East High School.
Scott Matheson worked as a Salt Lake County prosecutor and a lawyer for the Union Pacific Railroad before entering politics in 1976.
That same year, incumbent Utah Governor Cal Rampton declined to seek re-election for a potential fourth term, leading Scott Matheson to enter the gubernatorial election.
By her own accounts, Norma Matheson was the last in her family to endorse her husband's decision to enter the race.
Years after leaving the position, Matheson also assisted then-Governor Mike Mike Leavitt and First Lady Jackie Leavitt with their restoration efforts of the governor's residence following a fire in 1993.
Scott Matheson was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 1989, which was believed to have been caused by radioactive fallout from nuclear testing in nearby Nevada.
Scott M. Matheson died from the illness on October 7, 1990, at just 61-years old, leaving the former first lady a widow.
I know she advised her sons, and their father was a terrific man, but I think Norma had the political instinct in the family.
In 2000, Norma Matheson recommended her son, Scott Matheson Jr., as a candidate for Utah's 2nd congressional district during a brainstorming session.
During her tenure, The Nature Conservancy acquired wetlands outside Moab, Utah, which are now protected as the Scott M. Matheson Wetlands Preserve.
In 1996, she joined President Bill Clinton at the declaration ceremony for the creation of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, despite local controversy surrounding the plan.
Additionally, Matheson served on the board of directors for the Grand Canyon Trust, which works to preserve the region surrounding the Grand Canyon and the Colorado Plateau.
These included the Utah Governor's Commission on Aging, Salt Lake League of Women Voters, the Utah Women's Legislative Council, the Alliance for Unity, the USU Botanical Center, the Hogle Zoo, and University of Utah School of Nursing.
She also headed the Scott M. Matheson Leadership Forum, named for her husband, where she conducted interviews for Matheson Leadership Scholarship candidates, including for Ben McAdams.
Matheson, Leavitt, and his wife, former Utah first lady Jackie Leavitt, worked alongside each other on other projects over several decades, including electoral reform, voting rights legislation, and the preservation of the governor's mansion.
Matheson was survived by her four children - United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit judge Scott Matheson Jr., Lu Matheson, former U.S. Jim Matheson, and Tom Matheson; her brother, Jim Warenski; nine grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
The composition is thought to be by Raphael himself, who may also have drafted some of the sections of the finished work.
Originally on panel, it was transferred to a canvas support in 1777 - the practice was quite common in French collections at that period.
The background includes the coats of arms of the La Tremouille family and of its commissioner, Adrien Gouffier de Boissy, cardinal and Grand Almoner of France under Francis I.
In 1532 the work was placed in the collegiate church of Saint-Maurice in Oiron by Boissy's nephew Claude Gouffier, husband to a member of the La Tremoille family, meaning that both coats of arms must have been added at that date.
At the request of the Duke of Maillé the painting was transferred from the royal collection to the parish church of Longpont.
It was later bought at the posthumous sale of Duke's collection by the art dealer Cousin and entered the French national collection in 1838.

Valeriy Nikolayevich Andreev (born April 10, 1957), known as The Orsk Maniac, is a Russian serial killer and rapist responsible for the abductions, rapes and killings of various girls and women in the Orenburg Oblast from 2006 to 2012.
Investigators have conclusively tied him to at least 7 murders, after which he was put on a wanted list, but managed to escape.
Despite the fact that most of his friends, relatives and acquiantances spoke very fondly of him, at the same time, a number of colleagues claimed that since the mid-2000s, Andreev began exhibiting social problems and was in a state of psychological discomfort.
During the investigation and verification procedures, it was found that only two such registered cars in the city - one of the owners being Valeriy Andreev.
With the help of mobile operators, authorities learned that Andreev and Zhuravlyova were in the same place shortly before the girl's disappearance, in connection with which he was detained and interrogated in early July of that year.
During a survey, a number of fellow truckers told law enforcement officials that for several years they had suspected Andreev of using the services of prostitutes, as contraceptives, jewelry, women's underwear, hairpins, and a number of other accessories for hair and clothes were found in his vehicle.
On July 6, 2012, he last got in touch with his wife, after which he disappeared and was put on a wanted list.
A lot of girls and women missing from the area (who were either residents of Orsk, or the villages of Novosergievka; Kamennozernoe; Tasbulak and Mozharovka) disappeared in the forest belts of the highways.
The remains of his last confirmed victim, Olga Zhuravlyova, were found on September 10, 2013, in the area surrounding the village of Janatalap, in the forest belt near the Orsk-Chelyabinsk highway.
In subsequent years, the police received dozens of calls and messages about possible sightings in different parts of the country, and even in neighboring Kazakhstan.
As a result of this, search measures were launched in the republics of Karelia, Mordovia, Udmurtia, in the Siberian Federal District and the Kaliningrad Oblast, but, yet again, to no avail.
On October 28, 2019, he was positively identified in the DP Torkovichi area of Leningrad Oblast's Luga District, by local resident Tatyana Ivanova.
Ivanova reported this to the law enforcement bodies in Leningrad Oblast, St. Petersburg and Orenburg; however, no significant actions were taken by either the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Investigative Committee.
The fact that Andreev is hiding out in the Leningrad Oblast or St. Petersburg was also confirmed by numerous other residents, who also reported seeing him.
At the end of 2019, after 7 years of unsuccessful searches, the international organization Interpol took up the search for Andreev.
On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, Interpol prepared a list of eight international fugitives for alleged crimes against women, including murder: Valeriy Andreev topped that list of wanted criminals.

For the Invasion of Poland, 228th Infantry Division, under command of Hans Suttner, was one of the two constituent infantry divisions of XXI Army Corps (Nikolaus von Falkenhorst) under 3rd Army and Army Group North, the other one being 21st Infantry Division (Kuno-Hans von Both).
Both the 21st and 228th Divisions were stationed in the southwest of East Prussia and were to move in a southwesterly direction towards Grudziądz and the Vistula in order to link up with the forces of 4th Army.
228th Infantry Division remained with XXI Army Corps only for the first few days of the campaign, for the action in the Danzig Corridor, including the Battle of Grudziądz against the Polish 4th and 16th Infantry Divisions.
228th Infantry Division was then removed from XXI Army Corps when Falkenhorst's units were transferred via East Prussia to another active front sector.
Although 228th Infantry Division was initially intended to see combat in the Battle of France in 1940, this did not come to pass, as the German victory of the French came sooner than expected.

The Guinea–Mali border is 1,062 km (660 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Senegal in the north to the tripoint with Ivory Coast in the south.
The border begins in the north at the tripoint with Senegal on the Balinko river, and then follows this river southwards, before turning to the south-east, utilising various rivers and overland sections.
The border then goes overland in a southwards direction, with a very brief section utilising the Niger river, before another overland section connects up to the Sankarani River, which it follows for some distance to the south-west.
The border then leaves this river, going overland in an eastward and then southward direction via a series of irregular lines, before reaching the tripoint with the Ivory Coast.

James Pigott Pritchett (14 May 1830 – 22 September 1911), known as J P Pritchett junior or J P Pritchett of Darlington, was a British architect.
He was born in York, the son of architect James Pigott Pritchett senior (1789 – 1868) and his second wife Caroline Benson.
In 1854, he succeeded to the architectural practice of his brother-in-law John Middleton in Darlington, where he would continue to work until his retirement.
The same year, his father's firm, Pritchett & Sons of York, won a competition to design two chapels, a lodge and entrance gates for the new Boston Cemetery in Lincolnshire, but it was Pritchett junior who attended the meeting in July 1854 and was commissioned to prepare plans.
He provided the layout for the grounds and plans for twin chapels and a lodge, all in the gothic style, which were constructed by 1855 when the Anglican chapel was consecrated and the first internment took place.
Also in 1854, Pritchett was engaged to renovate the medieval St Nicholas Church, Durham, and when the building was found to be beyond repair he was commissioned to design a replacement.
He constructed over 100 more churches and during his career, and was particularly associated with churches in Darlington, although Nikolaus Pevsner believed that St Nicholas Durham remained among his best.
He was a member of the Archaeological Society of Durham and Northumberland, a founding member of the Northern Architectural Association, and a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects.

France had begun signing treaties with chiefs along the modern Ivorian coast in the 1840s, thereby establishing a protectorate which later became the colony of Ivory Coast in 1893.
As a result of the Scramble for Africa in the 1880s France had gained control the upper valley of the Niger River (roughly equivalent to the areas of modern Mali and Niger).
The precise date the boundary was drawn appears to be uncertain - it is thought to have been drawn at the time of the formal institution of French West Africa and its constituent units in the 1890s.
The internal divisions of AOF underwent several changes during its existence; what are now Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso were initially united as Upper Senegal and Niger, with Niger constituting a military territory ruled from Zinder.
The Niger military territory was split off in 1911, becoming a separate colony in 1922, and Mali and Upper Volta (Burkina Faso) were constituted as separate colonies in 1919.
As the movement for decolonisation grew in the post-Second World War era, France gradually granted more political rights and representation for their sub-Saharan African colonies, culminating in the granting of broad internal autonomy to French West Africa in 1958 within the framework of the French Community.

Bids for Commonwealth Games is the process where Commonwealth Games Associations select from within their national territory cities to put forward bids to host a Commonwealth Games.
Since the creation of the Commonwealth Games Federation in 1932, which successfully appropriated the name of the Inter-Empire Championships to create a modern sporting event for the members of the Commonwealth, interested cities have rivaled for selection as host of the Commonwealth Games.
20 cities (including repeats) have been chosen to host the Commonwealth Games; four in America, two in Asia, six in Europe, one in Carribean and seven in Oceania.
The General Assembly of the CGF is responsible for deciding who will host the Commonwealth Games, 8 years prior to the games in question once all bids have been submitted.
The selection process is made in accordance with the Candidate City Manual, as drafted by the Executive Board and made available to candidates 18 months before a decision is made.
The federation then entrusts the organisation of the games to the organising committee, CGA, and government of the winning host nation or territory, including the security and finance, but is still monitored by the federation.

As the precise on-the-ground demarcation of the boundary was frequently unclear, in 1968 the two states agreed to set up a joint commission to examine borer demarcation.
As the commission failed to come to a mutually satisfactory agreement, tensions began mounting between the two states, mot notably over the eastern-most section of the border known as the Agacher Strip, believed to be rich in minerals.
Fighting then erupted in late 1974, continuing into the new year, before an Organisation of African Unity-sponsored ceasefire took effect by which both states agreed to set up a technical commission to resolve the dispute peacefully.
A ceasefire was declared, and the case referred to the International Court of Justice, which split the territory almost equally between the two states in 1986.

It was bred in the nineteenth century at the Striletsky State Stud in Luhansk Oblast of Ukraine, from Arab and a variety of other stock.
As with other Russian horse populations, its numbers were gravely reduced by the events of the Russian Revolution and the Russian Civil War, and it came close to disappearing.
Two stallions and a few mares survived, which was judged to be too small a number to allow the breed to be recovered.
Instead, they were taken to the Tersk Stud in the North Caucasus and used as the foundation stock in the development of the new Tersk breed of riding horse.
The Strelets Arab was bred in the nineteenth century at the Striletsky State Stud, near the village of , which at that time was in the Starobelsky district of the Kharkov Governorate of the Russian Empire, and is now in Milovsky Raion of Luhansk Oblast in easternmost Ukraine, close to the Russian border.
It derived from a complex series of cross-breedings, initially of Arab and Anglo-Arab or Thoroughbred stock, later with some input from Karabakh, Orlov-Rostopchin, Persian and Turkmene horses.
The predominant influence was that of the Arab, and the result was a horse of Arab appearance, but somewhat larger and faster.
Among the Arab stallions used in the creation of the breed were Obayan Serebryany, a grey foaled in 1851; Tsiprian, foaled in 1875; and Tsenny, foaled in 1899, who was the sire of both Tsenitel and Tsilindr, the last two stallions of the breed survive.
Nelourde Nicolas (born 26 July 1999) is a Haitian footballer who plays as a midfielder for the Haiti women's national team.
It was held on 1 February 2020 between 2019 Ecuadorian Serie A champions Delfín and 2019 Copa Ecuador champions LDU Quito, being the third final in a row played between both sides after the final series of both the league and the cup.
Originally it was scheduled to be played at Estadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo, however, the venue was switched due to the latter stadium hosting the return leg of Barcelona's Copa Libertadores first stage tie against Uruguayan club Progreso on 29 January.
Sara Alexandri, (born 22 October 1913) was a Russian artist known for her oil paintings who, after training in Italy, spent the majority of her career in Britain.
She studied art in Florence, initially at the Royal Institute d'Arte between 1936 and 1940 and then, after the Second World War, at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts during 1946 and 1947.
Married and living in England, first at Bath then at St Leonards-on-Sea, Alexandri exhibited oil paintings and watercolours of landscapes, flowers and figure subjects at numerious venuesin Britain and abroad.
These included the Royal Academy in London, with the Royal Society of British Artists, the Women's International Art Club and at the Royal West of England Academy in Bristol and at the Paris Salon.
The Memorial for Victims of the German Occupation is a monument created in memory of the German invasion of Hungary, located in Budapest's Liberty Square.
The memorial has sparked controversy and angered Jewish community organizations, with critics alleging that the monument absolves the Hungarian state and Hungarians of their collaboration with Nazi Germany and complicity in the Holocaust.
First announced in late 2013 and approved in a closed cabinet session on New Year's Eve of 2013, the memorial was built on the night of July 20/21, 2014.
The memorial features a stone statue of the Archangel Gabriel, a national symbol of Hungary, being attacked by an eagle with extended claws that resembles the German coat of arms, the eagle representing the Nazi invasion and occupation of Hungary in March, 1944.
The Guinea–Senegal border is 363 km (225 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Guinea-Bissau in the west to the tripoint with Mali in the east.
The border starts in the west at the tripoint with Guinea-Bissau, proceeding eastwards via a series of irregular overland lines and some rivers (notably the Mitji, Termossé and Soudoul), before terminating at the Malian tripoint in the east on the Balinko river.
France had began settling in the region of modern Senegal in the 17th century, later annexing the coast of what is now Guinea in the late 19th century as the Rivières du Sud colony.
The latter area was constituted as French Guinea in 1893, with both it and Senegal later becoming part of the French West Africa colony.
As the movement for decolonisation grew after the Second World War, France gradually granted more political rights and representation to their sub-Saharan African colonies, culminating in the granting of broad internal autonomy to French West Africa in 1958 within the framework of the French Community.
Avenida Carlos III, was a promenade that Captain General (Spanish: Capitanía General de Cuba) Miguel Tacón y Rosique, put into operation in 1836.
Years later, the name was changed to Carlos III in honor of the King of Spain, a statue of the king was erected.
The beautification plan of Havana by the engineer Mariano Carrillo de Albornoz duing the third decade of the nineteenth century, contemplated the construction of s comfortable and beautiful walk that would serve for the recreation of the city's residents who were already spreading to more and more of its original city limits and as framed by the original wall that protected them from foreign attacks.
The Paseo de Tacón would allow for better communication with the colonial troops in the Castillo del Príncipe, because until then it was difficult to reach that military installation by having to circumvent a low and muddy road that became practically impassable in times of rains.
It was this site, once swampy and watery, the most on purpose for a work of this kind in the surroundings of this city, in the part where it is not surrounded by the sea.
There was also another reason that turned the work into doubly useful, which was the frank communication of this square with the castle, interrupted by that part in the rainy season.
Well-known since the time of the monarchy by the name Carlos III, the steet is more than 50 meters in width and serves to diect traffic to and from the oldest areas of Havana.
La Quinta de los Molinos is a botanical gaden and a national monument located in the general vecinity of the Paseo de Tacón.
It was also the residence of Cuba's first president Máximo Gómez, (November 18, 1836 – June 17, 1905) who was a Major General in Cuba's Ten Years' War (1868–1878) against Spain.
It is called La Quinta de los Molinos due to the existence of 2 grinding mills used for tobacco and snuff, in high demand at the end of the 18th century throughout Europe, and particularly in Spain.
The mills were owned by Martín de Aróstegui, president of the Royal Tobacco Factory belonging to the Spanish king, hence his name.
before 1850, it was known as El Jardin de Tacon as it appears in a plan from 1843 and on a marble plate embedded in the wall of an old building there.
The mills worked until the second half of the 19th century, they were moved by the force of water from the Royal Trench which was the first aqueduct in Havana.
Very close to the Plaza de La Catedral is the alley of the jet , whose name comes from its old use.
Originally the Plaza de la Catedral was called Plaza de la Ciénaga, since it was there where the Havanans came to get water, brought by the Royal Ditch.
The jet as the Zanja Real was also known, more than 11 km long, started from the Almendares River and brought water to Havana across the Zanja street that bears that name in honor of it.
This first aqueduct was discontinued when, given the growing development of the city, the Spanish government was forced to find another solution for the water supply to the city, creating the aqueduct of Fernando VII in 1835, and the Acueducto de Albear in 1858, which joined in 1878.
In 1607 Philip III created the Captaincy General of Cuba as part of larger plans to defend the Caribbean against foreign threats.
In 1756 the construction of ships for the Spanish Navy began with the establishment of an Intendancy of the Navy was established in Havana, which functioned as a royal shipyard.
The British conquest of the island in 1762 during the Seven Years' War proved to be a turning point in the history of Cuba and Spanish America in general.
The events revealed not only the weaknesses of the region's defenses but also proved just how much the Cuban economy had been neglected by the Spanish.
A year earlier France had secretly ceded Louisiana to Spain in compensation for its losses as its ally during the war.
As a sign of the seriousness with which the government took the problems, the very year the Spanish retook control of Havana construction began on what would become the largest Spanish fort in the New World, San Carlos de la Cabaña on the eastern side of the entrance to harbor of Havana.
G. P. Schafer Architect is a New York City-based architectural firm established in 2002 and led by founder and principal Gil Schafer III.
The practice is known for new houses and residential renovations that blend American classical and traditional styles, historical and regional precedence and contemporary amenities in designs that integrate structure, decoration and landscape.
The firm occupied space in a SoHo high-rise on Lafayette Street for several years, and by 2007, had executed 25 projects with a staff that had grown to fifteen.
By 2018, its staff numbered thirty-five, and the practice took over a fourth-floor aerie on Union Square West in Manhattan as raw space; the new office was designed with a library at the spine and decorated with classical, home-like details attuned to the firm's residential aesthetic.
He spent his childhood in many places, including New Jersey and the Midwest, California, and the Bahamas; he attributes his awareness of place, context and vernacular traditions to the many houses he experienced, particularly, his grandmother's antebellum plantation in Thomasville, Georgia.
He studied Growth & Structure of Cities at Haverford College and Bryn Mawr (BA, 1984), before attending Yale School of Architecture (MA, 1988).
At Yale, he trained as a modernist under Thomas Beeby, Frank Gehry, Josef Paul Kleihues, Bernard Tschumi and Robert Venturi, and earned the school's top honor in studio work, the H. I. Feldman Prize, in his final semester.
Between 1999–2006, he was president, and then, chairman of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, helping to build the organization to a nine-chapter, 2,500-member nonprofit with comprehensive training and educational programs.
Schafer writes and lectures on traditional residential architecture, and has served on nonprofit boards and advisory councils, including Yale School of Architecture’s Dean’s Council, the Dutchess Land Conservancy, and the Thomas Jefferson Foundation.
The firm's acknowledged influences include 18th- and 19-century American design movements and figures such as Colonial Revival architects Charles A. Platt and William Lawrence Bottomley, Sir Edwin Lutyens, and David Adler and Frances Adler Elkins.
Architecture writers characterize G. P. Schafer Architect's approach by its sensitivity to context, climate, and client lifestyle; interplay between historical precedent, details, materials and craftsmanship; balance of classical order and proportion, imagination, and contemporary function; and integration of architecture, landscape and decoration.
The latter quality is often achieved through collaborations that serve as a complements or foils to the firm's classicism, such as with interior designers Rita Konig, David Netto, Miles Redd and Michael S. Smith, landscape designer Deborah Nevins, decorator Bunny Williams, and color consultant Eve Ashcraft.
An early, highly recognized project, Middlefield (Dutchess County, New York, 1999), demonstrates the holistic approach elaborated in Schafer's first book and set the mold for the firm's new-old, timeless aesthetic.
Following a long and unsuccessful attempt to find a suitable nineteenth-century Greek Revival house to renovate, he decided to design and build a new, modern rendition, carefully sited for a sense of belonging on a 45-acre land parcel.
Its sense of history is furthered by re-salvaged elements (200-year-old pine-board flooring and restoration glass glazing), patinas, custom mercury glass hardware, and a multi-level design implying evolution over time.
Writers particularly note the house's integration into the landscape through surrounding precincts of terraced stone walls and hornbeam-hedge garden rooms (created with Deborah Nevins) and its dramatic approach.
The simple exterior shapes, ambience and details of the award-winning, Colonial Revival Willow Grace Farm (Millbrook, New York, 2007) were modeled after a nearby dilapidated, loosely Federal-style dwelling its client had purchased; the 9,000-square-foot residence and outbuildings incorporate wide-plank floorboards, door hinges, beams and fixtures salvaged from the older structure alongside elements rigorously detailed to match.
New Classical House (Hudson Valley, 2007) blends Jeffersonian palladian classical precedents and regionally appropriate Greek Revival elements in a five-part symmetrical design with a contemporary interior layout unified by a palette of teals, blues, and greens.
Whereas G. P. Schafer Architect's new houses intentionally offer suggestions of renovation and imperfect quirks, its restorations are noted for their seamlessness.
The firm executed an award-winning, four-year restoration of the 1843 Greek Revival William C. Gatewood House (Charleston, 2008), a four-story residence whose distinctive Tuscan columns, arched colonnade and dramatic multistory piazza, and lofty second-floor parlor rooms typify the grand, antebellum Charleston single house.
The commission stipulated the retention of all the original walls, yet entailed a literal disassembly and reconstruction—due to structural damage—as well as detective work to uncover traces of original features that had been altered.
The restoration integrated modern amenities and flow patterns that blended into the original historic framework with decoration honoring Greek Revival and vernacular styles that use period furnishings and fixtures, Charlestonian pumpkin-hued walls, hand-painted scenic wallpaper, and restored original nine-foot triple-hung windows, mantels and woodwork.
The Georgian farmhouse Boxwood (Nashville, 2010) provided the firm an opportunity to work on a residence designed by one of Schafer's influences, American classicist Charles A. Platt.
The renovation sought to restore the classical elegance and understated formality that had been diluted by significant alterations, while contemporizing the home with modern living space, decoration and detail.
On the exterior, the firm created a more unified aesthetic by redesigning a 1950s portico to better match Platt's vision and painting the re-clad brick white.
Inside, it restored the loggia's French doors and broke down outmoded barriers between utilitarian, formal public and informal areas by opening the space and adding enfilades.
Initially an undistinguished, early-1990s chalet lacking any architectural back story, the barn-like near-A-frame (including a double-height, 30 x 30-foot great room) offered a blank canvas for experimentation.
It was gutted to the timber frames and rebuilt inside and out, with large windows, tall glass sliding doors, and dormer windows installed to maximize light and views of Blue Hill Bay.
The interior—painted all white to enhance the light and views—bridges New England tradition and modernity with painted wood-plank walls and hardware reflecting rural history alongside eclectic, centuries-spanning furnishings.
The new Waterfront House in the Adirondacks (Lake Placid, New York, 2013) is a modern adaptation of the Gilded-Age family compound that combines classical and vernacular elements to balance a client preference for formality with the region's relaxed camp aesthetic; the exterior of the asymmetrical, rambling structure employs a tailored, less-known Adirondack-style of brown clapboard siding, green-shingled roof and white trim.
Its formal front façade features a classical Serlian second floor window, fluted Greek Doric columns and rustic stone chimneys, tied together by a long, welcoming porch with two entries; the more informal rear employs a Chippendale railing pattern drawn from a Native American textile.
The house's siting, thin plan, and light-filled rooms emphasize the lake and Whiteface Mountain vistas (including a striking view entering the front door) and allow easy circulation; sea-influenced details, such as blue cloth wall coverings and playroom bunk nooks that flank French doors opening to the shore, further the connection to place.
Mill Valley Hillside Residence (California, 2013) entailed the transformation of a derelict assemblage of structures on a small, sloped lot that began as an 1880s YWCA bunkhouse into a larger, modern family cottage.
The design preserves the property's rustic, rambling character, history and connection to the natural California vernacular style with simple materials and finishes and elements such as reclaimed random-width floorboards, casement windows, restoration glass and historic hardware; a unique solution to a cramped floor plan and zoning that restricted the footprint involved adding a floor of rooms beneath the structure, which stands on stilts.
Two New York residences demonstrate the firm's approach to city life, which writers note seeks a balance between traditional and modern, sophistication and comfort.
The award-winning renovation, Greenwich Village Townhouse Apartment (2003), restored period style and craftsmanship to an 1850s residence covered over with modernist additions, while updating its layout.
The Greek Revival design balanced the apartment's 13-foot ceilings and 12-foot windows with a classical frieze above the door, a nine-foot mahogany bookcase, and Ionic columns and folding shutters based on 19th-century townhouse pattern books; other details, influenced by Adler/Elkins interiors, included a custom scagliola mantelpiece, a cross-hatched terracotta wall glaze, and hand-crafted, faux-grain mahogany doors.
Fifth Avenue Apartment (2016) combines formal architectural details—including a columned entry foyer right off the elevator framing a panoramic view of Central Park—with a relaxed, open plan and modern colors to create a residence amenable to formal entertaining, family life, and an adventurous contemporary art collection.
The firm won the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art's (ICAA) Arthur Ross Award in 2019 and ICAA Stanford White Awards for two residences (Longfield Farm and Fifth Avenue Apartment, both 2013), the New York Historical Society Library project (Interior Design and Decoration Award, 2014), and a collaboration with Voith & Mactavish Architects on Thorndale Farm Corporate Offices (Commercial, Civic and Institutional Architecture Award, 2016).
In 2009, G. P. Schafer Architect received two American Institute of Architects awards: a New York State Award of Merit for the William C. Gatewood House and a Westchester/Hudson Valley Citation Award for Willow Grace Farm.
It has also received Palladio Awards for Thorndale Farm Corporate Offices (2018), Willow Grace Farm (2009), Greenwich Village Townhouse Apartment (2004), and Middlefield (2002).
3rd (Ulster) Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery later the 4th (Ulster) LAA Regt, was an air defence unit of Britain's part-time force the Supplementary Reserve (later the Territorial Army (TA)).
The regiment was formed in 1939 during the increase of international tension following the Munich Conference the year before known as the Munich Crisis.
When the regiment was mobilised they served in France before returning to be converted to light anti-aircraft artillery (LAA) and eventually participated in the Invasion of Normandy.
After the TA was re-organised and re-instated in 1947, the regiment was reformed into two regiments which were later merged, and after more reductions was reduced to today's 206 (Ulster) Battery Royal Artillery based in Belfast and Coleraine under 105th Regiment Royal Artillery.
In 1939 the 3rd Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery (Supplementary Reserve) was formed as one of the first Supplementary Reserve regiments in Northern Ireland along with the 188th (Antrim) Heavy Battery, Royal Artillery formed two years before in 1937.
In September 1939 following the announcement for general mobilisation, the regiment was assigned to the 3rd Anti-Aircraft Brigade and consolidated in Belfast.
The regiment was then preparing for home defence and participation with the local 8th (Belfast), 9th (Londonderry) and 102nd (Ulster) Heavy AA regiments.
In October as the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) started to form, the War Office (WO) became increasingly worried by the lack of AA units assigned to the soon to form BEF.
As a result of the this, the war office announced the movement of; three HAA (8th (Belfast), 79th (Hertfordshire Yeomanry), and 85th (Tees)), two S/L regiments (2nd (Militia) and 3rd (Ulster)), and one LAA (38th (West Yorkshire)) along with an independent battery attached from the 37th (Tyne Electrical Engineers) S/L Regt.
In November the regiment was assigned to the Home Forces Command, moved to Bordon near Aldershot Garrison, and in December moved to France to join the British Expeditionary Force.
Due to the recent expansion of AA units in France, the 4th and 5th (Searchlight) Anti-Aircraft Brigades' headquarters were moved to France and took control of these newly assigned units.
As a result of these moves, the regiment was assigned to the 5th (Searchlight) Anti-Aircraft Brigade along with the 1st (Regular) S/L, 2nd (Militia) S/L regiments of the brigade.
In May 1940 the regiment manned forward gun zones along with their regular colleagues from the 1st and 2nd searchlight regiments, and tasked with defending and supporting the HAA batteries during night raids and assist them when needed.
During this period, the 9th, 10th, and 11th S/L batteries were in the area between Lille and Bethune, while the 12th S/L Bty was in Dunkirk.
By May 1940, the regiment was renamed, in accordance with the re-organisation of the Royal Artillery, to become the 3rd (Ulster) Searchlight Regiment, RA (SR) to distinguish itself as a TA (SR) unit as apposed to the regular regiments based in the area.
When the Battle of France and concurrent Invasion of the Low Countries launched, the regiment supported HAA units during their defence against heavy German fighter attacks on the night of the invasion, they took special advantage of illuminating bombers during the night time raids.
During the initial attacks on the night of the 10th, Dunkirk was heavily attacked, and the 12th S/L battery was involved by assisting the HAA batteries there with both searchlights and machine-guns.
After three days, the Luftwaffe concentrated on attacking the airfields manned by the Royal Air Force's Advanced Air Striking Force which were based in the Somme area.
As these attacks increased, the regiment's three batteries based near Lille were separated to the RAF bases in the area, equipped with more machine-guns, and given a duel LAA/ground support role.
When the German Army Group B moved through the Ardennes and pushed through the south of the BEF, 9th S/L battery was rushed to Arras to defend the area by digging-in and defending its perimeter.
By the time of the push in the south, the regiment was scattered from Vimy Ridge to Arras, but on 19 May was order back to Dunkirk in independent groups as part of Operation Dynamo.
The cumbersome 150cm Searchlights were abandoned and disabled as there was no means of bringing them back in time due to the rapidness of the German advance.
By 21 May the 9th, 10th, and 11th S/L batteries were finally moved into the city of Dunkirk where the 12th had been based since moving to France.
Except for the 12th, the batteries helped the infantry for defence of the city except for a small group which provided a rear guard.
By 27 May, the 9th, 10th, and 11th S/L were all moved to the beaches in preparation for their evacuation while the 12th battery was still engaged in air defence duties.
On the 27th the 11th battery was driven back by small arms fire, on the 28th the 10th battery was driven back by tanks and artillery, and then the 11th battery was driven back further by more tanks and a failed French artillery support mission.
When the 12th battery was attacked, they moved towards Uxem (north-east of the city) were they were tasked with holding the canal entrance bridge and manned a small number of S/L projectors to illuminate the front against night attacks.
During this small engagement with the 10th battery, searchlights were used to project the defensive area on land (as apposed to being used in the air), and this became the first known example of searchlights being used to support or defend against ground attacks.
On the 27th the 9th, 10th, and 11th batteries were relieved by infantry and pulled back to the beaches and in turn destroyed their left-over equipment.
On the 27th while the other three (9th, 10th, and 11th batteries) retreated towards the beaches, the fourth (12th) battery was still in the middle of the city manning AA defences, despite being heavily shelled and manned a stubborn resistance.
While the other three batteries were being embarked between the 28th-30th, the 12th was ordered to send a detachment to the border town of Furnes, about ten miles from the Belgian border, to hold it against ground attack.
Despite the detachment being less than battery strength, they were able to hold Furnes for 36 hours until a company of the 2nd Battalion Coldstream Guards took over.
The battery then moved along the coast back towards Dunkirk where they were evacuated during the late hours of the 31st.
During their three weeks of combat, the regiment suffered a fairly small amount of casualties (compared to most other regiments) loosing 28 men killed, 41 wounded, and three taken prisoner.
The 8th AA division was formed in mid-1940 as part of the expansion of AA Command just after the beginning of the Battle of France and during the Phoney War, and tasked with defending the south coast as far east as Bournemouth.
Within the division, the 64th Anti-Aircraft Brigade was formed as tasked with controlling the regiment tasked with defending the south-west airfields.
As part of this new brigade, the 2nd (Militia), 76th S/L, and 85th S/L regiments were assigned and tasked along the same lines of the brigade as a result of the increasing bombing from the Luftwaffe.
During the Battle of Britain, RAF squadrons based in the south west manned fighters and maritime patrol planes, and tasked to intercept enemy fighters and bombers before reaching the mainland.
Among the many bases included some well known ones which proved their worth including; RAF Falmouth, RAF Mount Batten, RAF Exeter, and RAF St Just.
During the later part of 1941, due to manpower over-stuffing and lack of guns available, many searchlight regiments were converted, disbanded, or merged.
During these periods of re-organisation, the regiment was re-organised and renamed to became the 4th (Ulster) Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery.
By February the regiment was done converting and assigned to HQ Home Forces again in preparation for training to deploy to North-West Europe upcoming from Operation Overlord.
Operation Overlord was the wider name given to the Invasion of Normandy which would eventually end the war in Europe as discussed at the Yalta Conference.
This invasion would be spear-headed by the British Army, United States Army, Canadian Army, and forces from many now Nazi controlled nations.
Just a few months after the entrance of the United States of America into the war, on the allies' side, construction began on the Atlantic Wall which was created in order to be able to hold, or at minimum delay, an enemy landing.
When the initial landings in Normandy were launched, the regiment was still based in England, and would join the main forces in mid-June after a beachhead had been established.
On 7 and 14 August Operation Totalise and Operation Tractable were launched towards the area of Caen which was key for the Allies to capture if they were to maintain a foothold in the area.
During this operation, the regiment was attached to the 2nd Canadian Corps although still remained under administrative command of MGRA, Second Army (at this time it is unknown which brigade it was attached to).
AA Command had plenty of warning that the Germans were developing V-1 flying bombs to use against the UK, and had detailed plans in place (Operation Diver), these plans also covered the strategically important ports of Antwerp (Netherlands) and Brussels (Belgium).
These cities provided rear lines of communication and maintained the supply depôts for the 21st Army Group which was preparing to cross the Rhine into the Rhineland.
As far as the mainland Europe theatre was concerned, the allies were to try and take over all, or most, of the launch sites or air bases from which they were launched.
Once 21st Army Group had captured Brussels and Antwerp, these cities became targets for V-1s launched from within Germany, and anti-Diver or 'X' defences had to be established.
After the first V-1s had launched, GHQ AA Troops launched their plan which deployed the 101st Anti-Aircraft Brigade, which had been stationed in Cherbourg, to Brussels in September along with a small vanguard of the Second Army.
The 101st AA brigade began deployment on the 12th September with the following units; 105th HAA, 116th HAA, 4th (Ulster) LAA, and 367th Bty, (from 42nd (7th (Robin Hood) Btn, The Sherwood Foresters S/L Regt) under its command.
After arriving in the area of Brussels, the AA defences amounted to; 5 HAA regiments, 2 LAA regiments, and 2 S/L batteries.
Brussels at this point was only covered by the British 101 AA Bgd, and Antwerp by the US 50th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Brigade.
To deal not only with conventional air raids but also the threat of V-1 flying bombs (code-named 'Divers'), the planners envisaged a large Gun Defence Area (GDA) integrated into a system ('Brussels X' ) of warning stations and observation posts, supported by radar and searchlights.
In March 1945 the regiment was moved towards the banks of the Rhine where it divided some batteries to protect the Rhine bridges and crossings.
On 1 January 1947 many of these regiments were reconstituted and many new regiments were formed as part of the reformed and re-organised Territorial Army (TA), with new numbers according to the renumbering plan for the complete re-designation of all Royal Artillery units, both regular and territorial.
Following the Royal Artillery's renumbering system, light anti-aircraft regiments were granted numbers between 512 and 558, but due to the regiment being part of the Supplementary Reserve, they were granted numbers between 201-255.
As a result of this re-organisation, the regiment was re-formed into two regiments and numbered as the 247th (Ulster) Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery now reformed into the Territorial Army and the 248th (Ulster) Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery newly formed and based in Belfast.
In 1949 the regiment was re-organised into a mixed searchlight and LAA unit, becoming the 247th (Ulster) Light Anti-Aircraft/Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery.
Finally, in 1955 following extensive reviews, AA defence (as far as AA guns) was deemed 'obsolete' with the coming of the missile age, so following a hard decision all regiments of Anti-Aircraft Command were disbanded or merged/converted.
The regiment along with all other regiments of the Royal Artillery wore the grenade collar badge and Royal Artillery cannon cap badge on a dark blue beret.
In common with the other regiments of the later 51st (Ulster) Anti-Aircraft Brigade, a supplementary army title ULSTER, embroidered in red and dark blue, was worn on battledress blouses below the Royal Artillery title.
The Honorary Colonel of the regiment was Sir George Ernest Clark, 2nd Baronet who held the position from 1939 to 1946.
It is thought that the name originally belonged to a settlement nearer the river, but the settlement was moved to the present site of Ngoulmakong and the name was transferred with it.
Christian Sabatié (born in Allez-et-Cazeneuve, on 20 June 1941) is a French former rugby league player, who played as a prop.
He also was called up for France national team, with which he played the 1968 Rugby League World Cup final lost against Australia.
Nobles Pond Site is a 25-acre archaeological site near Canton in Stark County, Ohio and is a historical site with The Ohio Historical Society.
At the end of the Ice age, about 10,500 to 11,500 years ago, a large number of Paleo-Indians, the first people to live in Ohio, camped at the site.
Artifacts on the site, primarily excavated by volunteers, provide insight into how they made and used tools, obtained materials, and how they lived.
Dr. Mark Seeman led an investigation of the site with students and volunteers before a housing development was built on the site.
In nine places near Nobles Pond, they found stone tools grouped in clusters and an area that indicated either areas for specific activities or house floors of a structure.
A study of the ways in which the stone tools were made was published by Michael J. Shott and Mark F. Seeman.
The source and variety of the stone for tools can tell a lot about a group, whether it is sedentary with base camps or travels from place-to-place to find food.
People of the Clovis culture are generally thought to be big game hunters, but analysis of eight Clovis points stained with blood have down that the Paleo-Indians of the Nobles Pond Site hunted a wide range of animals.
While there is some surprise that Paleo-Indians ate rabbit, the Cree First Nations people from northern Ontario who have a diet that relies to a great extent on rabbit, as noted by anthropologist Bruce Winterhalder.
Other sites with large-scale Paleo-Indian occupation include the Vail Site in Maine, DEDIC/Sugarloaf Site in Massachusetts, and in Ontario—Udora Site, Parkhill Site, and Fisher.
The Guinea–Ivory Coast border is 816 km (507 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Mali in the north to the tripoint with Liberia in the south.
The border starts in the north at the Malian tripoint, briefly going overland to the south-west before reaching the Sankarani River.
The border then proceeds overland to the south via a series of irregular lines, before reaching the Bagbe river, which it then follows as it flows to the west, followed by the Koure as it flows to the south.
France had begun signing treaties with chiefs along the modern Ivorian coast in the 1840s, thereby establishing a protectorate which later became the colony of Ivory Coast in 1893.
France has also annexed the coast of what is now Guinea in the late 19th century as the Rivières du Sud colony.
The area was renamed French Guinea 1894, and was later included within the French West Africa colony along with Ivory Coast.
As the movement for decolonisation grew in the post-Second World War era, France gradually granted more political rights and representation for their sub-Saharan African colonies, culminating in the granting of broad internal autonomy to French West Africa in 1958 within the framework of the French Community.

The competition holds multiple tournaments for different forms and categories of beatboxing which include: Solo (or Showcase), Loopstation, Tag Team, and Tag Team Loopstation.
The event follows a traditional tournament format, where competitors take turns performing on a stage, and a panel of judges vote on the winner.
The event is streamed live on YouTube and other platforms, and edited versions of the battles and eliminations are uploaded periodically after the event.
In order to be invited to the GBB to compete, beatboxers must record a video of themselves performing an unedited beatbox routine and submit it to Swissbeatbox for judging.
The top 4 beatboxers from the previous year’s competition are automatically given an invitation and do not need to submit a wildcard.
The panel of judges then decide who to place in the top 8 to compete tournament-style for the GBB champion title.
The judges for the battles are usually past winners of the GBB or another beatboxing competition, or esteemed individuals within the beatbox community.
The most traditional of the beatbox battles, a Solo battle follows the formula of a battle rap, where each competitor takes two turns beatboxing.
A Loopstation Battle is a type of battle where a beatboxer uses a piece of hardware called a loopstation to loop, add effects to, and add other modifications to their beatboxing to create music.
In 2020, Swissbeatbox announced a new Tag Team Loopstation category, a combination of Tag Team and Loopstation, where two beatboxers use two loopstations at the same time.
The first beatboxer to win seven rounds is declared the winner and given a guaranteed spot in the elimination round of next years GBB.
The old cantonal school of Aarau (in German: AKSA, Alte Kantonsschule Aarau or Alte Kanti) was founded in 1802 and is the oldest non-church secondary school in Switzerland.
From 1802 to 1896, the cantonal school was housed in what is now the Amthaus (today home of the cantonal police) on Laurenzenvorstadt.
Johann Samuel von Gruner, the factory owner Johann Rudolf Meyer and the writer Andreas Moser, who created also Switzerland's first gymnasium here, were involved in its foundation.
Around 1896 the present Einstein House was inaugurated, it was later named after a former pupil of the school, the physicist Albert Einstein.
For each year there is a separate sports curriculum for professional athletes and an immersion class, in which the pupils are thought in German and English.
In addition to the mandatory languages German, English and French, students can choose also other languages to learn like Latin, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Russian, Hebrew and since 2006 even Arabic.
At the school the small and large Latinum, the Graecum, the Hebraicum as well as the Cambridge Advanced and the Proficiency can be taken.
In addition to the option of taking lessons on various musical instruments, there is also a choir, an orchestra and numerous ensembles.
In addition to the basic subject, a main subject in third grade and a supplementary subject in fourth grade are also offered.
Since 2003, keyboard writing was a compulsory subject at the high school as well as at the WMS, although the exams at the Gymnasium were less strict than at the WMS.
The course consists of a three-year period of study in Aarau with a 5-week internship in the second year and a 4-week language course in the third year.
Since 2005 the school has been an authorised ECDL test centre, whereby ECDL diplomas can be acquired voluntarily at the high school, while the acquisition in the WMS is part of the curriculum.

Goldschmidt was born on 8 July 1831 in Copenhagen, the son of silk and tectile merchant Bendix Meyer Goldschmidt (1791-1874) and Rose Trier (1802-90).
Goldschmidt was from 1850 employed in his maternal uncle Adolph Trier's trading house in the cellar at Amagertyorv 8 (founded 1841).
Goldschmidt was made a partner in the firm on 1 January 1857 and it was from this on exclusively a wholesale business.
Trier & Goldschmidt was one of the first Danish trading houses to avoid the Hamburg-based intermediaries when trading on other European and overseas markets.
It grew to become one of the largest of the largest Danish wholesalers of colonial goods such as sugar, rice and spices.
He was a member of the Board of Deputies of Danish Jews in 1868-82 and he was also active on the boards of Copenhagen's two Jewish schools.
Goldschmidt married Galathea Meyer (12 June 1835 - 13 April 1874), a daughter of merchant Saul Meyer (1790-1862) and Frederikke Texiére (1809-61), on 6 December 1857 in Copenhagen.
The song caused some controversy among fans of Irish artist Niall Horan, as fans accused Trainor of copying his song of the same name, as well as the font used.
However, these claims were hardly substantiated as Trainor has been using the font throughout the campaign for her album, and Horan does not own the rights to the song title.
The Burkina Faso–Ivory Coast border is 545 km (339 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Mali in the west to the tripoint with Ghana in the east.
The border starts in the west at the tripoint with Mali on the Léraba river; the border then follows this river, and then the Kamoe, as they flow south-eastwards.
The border then turns eastwards, proceeding via various rivers (such as the Keleworo, Kanba and Koulbi) and irregular overland lines to the tripoint with Ghana in the east on the Black Volta river.
France had begun signing treaties with chiefs along the modern Ivorian coast in the 1840s, thereby establishing a protectorate which later became the colony of Ivory Coast in 1893.
As a result of the Scramble for Africa in the 1880s France had gained control the upper valley of the Niger River (roughly equivalent to the areas of modern Mali and Niger).
The internal divisions of AOF underwent several changes during its existence; what are now Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso were initially united as Upper Senegal and Niger, with Niger constituting a military territory ruled from Zinder.
The Niger military territory was split off in 1911, becoming a separate colony in 1922, and Mali and Upper Volta (Burkina Faso) were constituted as separate colonies in 1919.
During the period 1932-47 Upper Volta was abolished and its territory split out between French Sudan, Niger and Ivory Coast, with the latter gaining the bulk of the territory, re-named 'Haute Cote d’Ivoire'.
The precise date the Ivory Coast-Upper Volta boundary was drawn appears to be uncertain - it is thought to have been drawn at the time of the formal institution of Upper Volta in 1919, based upon the rough delimitation of Ivorian territory by France in 1899.
As the movement for decolonisation grew in the post-Second World War era, France gradually granted more political rights and representation for their sub-Saharan African colonies, culminating in the granting of broad internal autonomy to French West Africa in 1958 within the framework of the French Community.
Eventually, in 1960, both Ivory Coast and Upper Volta gained independence, and their mutual frontier became an international one between two states.
Since the outbreak of conflict in northern Mali in 2012 Ivory Coast has begun strengthening security at its northern borders in order to prevent any spill-over.

It is native to central and northern Europe where it grows on moist acidic soils, moorland, grassy heathland and the drier parts of marshes.
Each bilaterally symmetrical flower has a large, rounded, five-angled pinkish calyx, the four lobes being tipped with teeth, which can easily be observed before the flower has opened.
The five petals are fused into a tube, the upper lip is curved into a hood, having two teeth at the tip.
In the British Isles it occurs on damp acidic soils in Scotland, Ireland, Wales, northern and southwestern England, and in scattered locations elsewhere in England, at altitudes up to about .
The origin of the common name is that there was a belief in times past that cattle that ate this plant would acquire lice as a consequence.
Like other members of the genus, common lousewort is semi-parasitic, supplementing its own resources by connecting its roots to those of nearby plants and extracting water and nutrients for its own use.

In the German Wehrmacht before and during World War II, infantry divisions were raised as part of a given deployment wave () or just wave (), sometimes translated to English as draft.
The peacetime units were designated the first deployment wave, and a total of 34 other deployment waves followed up to and including the 35th wave in April 1945.
The specific model of mobilization of the Wehrmacht's active and reserve forces in the form of multiple waves was issued in the annual mobilization plan of 8 December 1938.
Initially, this system planned with four waves, which would later turn out to be the peacetime army (first deployment wave) as well as the three waves mobilized in anticipation of the Invasion of Poland (second, third, and fourth deployment waves).
In this initial plan, the first wave was to be the peacetime army, which consisted of the divisions with the ordinal numbers 1 to 50.
The second wave was to consist of reservists that had completed their compulsory training and was to be made up of divisions with ordinal numbers between 51 and 100.
The third wave, with ordinal numbers between 201 and 250, was to consist of reservists that mostly had less training than those of the second wave and would have to go through refresher training due to more advanced age (classes of 1901 to 1913).
The first wave was to be fully operational on the second day of mobilization, the second wave on the third day, the third wave on the sixth day, and the fourth wave on the seventh day.
Divisions of the first wave included the 1st through 36th Infantry Divisions, the 44th through 46th Infantry Divisions, and the 50th Infantry Division.
Divisions of the first wave were intended to be staffed by 518 officers, 102 bureaucrats, 2,573 NCOs and 13,667 soldiers for a total of 16,860 personnel.
The equipment included 3,681 pistols, 12,609 rifles, 535 machine guns, 26 infantry support guns, 75 anti-tank guns, 48 artillery guns, 530 krads, 394 cars, 536 trucks, and 5,375 horses.
Divisions of the second wave were smaller than divisions of the first wave by 1,000 to 2,000 men, if not more.
The required strength of a second wave division included 491 officers, 98 bureaucrats, 2,273 NCOs and 12,411 soldiers for a total of 15,273.
The equipment included 3,801 pistols, 10,828 rifles, 459 machine guns, 26 infantry support guns, 75 anti-tank guns, 48 artillery guns, 597 krads, 393 cars, 509 trucks, and 5,854 horses.
These were the 52nd Infantry Division, 56th through 58th Infantry Divisions, 60th through 62nd Infantry Divisions, 68th Infantry Division, 69th Infantry Division, 71st through 73rd Infantry Division, 75th Infantry Division, 76th Infantry Division, 78th Infantry Division, 79th Infantry Division, 86th Infantry Division, and 87th Infantry Division.
Divisions of the third wave were in practice numerically larger than divisions of the first wave, usually by some 600 men.
This difference was less than was intended: the required strength of a third wave division included 578 officers, 94 bureaucrats, 2,722 NCOs, and 14,507 soldiers for a total of 17,901 (compared to 16,860 for a first wave division).
The divisions of the third wave were armed with 4,640 pistols, 11,423 rifles, 709 machine guns, 26 infantry support guns, 75 anti-tank guns, 48 artillery guns, 425 krads.
As a result, the divisions of the third wave each had more men than any given division of the first wave, but their equipment values of krads, cars and trucks was actually reduced compared to those of a division of the first wave.
Divisions of the third wave, many of which were deployed under Army Group C in defensive roles against France between September of 1939 and summer of 1940, were deemed lacking by Army Group C's commander Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb, who reported to Franz Halder on 3 October 1939 that third wave divisions were in his view only suitable for positional warfare under quiet conditions.
These were the 205th through 209th Infantry Division, 211th through 218th Infantry Division, 221st Infantry Division, 223rd Infantry Division, 225th Infantry Division, 227th Infantry Division, 228th Infantry Division, 231st Infantry Division, 239th Infantry Division, 246th Infantry Division and 311th Infantry Division.
Divisions of the fourth wave were smaller than divisions of the first wave by 1,000 to 2,000 men, if not more.
Nominally, the strength of divisions of the fourth wave was supposed to be 491 officers, 99 bureaucrats, 2,165 NCOs, and 12,264 soldiers, for a total of 15,019.
The divisions were equipped with 3,639 pistols, 10,807 rifles, 457 machine guns, 20 infantry support guns, 75 anti-tank guns, 48 artillery guns, 529 krads, 359 cars, 536 trucks, and 4,077 horses.
Von Leeb, commander of Army Group C, reported to Halder on 3 October 1939 that fourth wave divisions were in his view only suitable for positional warfare if they were to receive additional training in defensive combat.
These were the 251st through 258th Infantry Divisions, the 260th Infantry Division, the 262nd Infantry Division, the 263rd Infantry Division, and the 267th through 269th Infantry Divisions.
Raised during September 1939, the units of the fifth wave had their infantry regiments' 13th companies' armaments replaced by grenade launchers rather than infantry guns, and their 14th companies were armed with horsedrawn anti-tank guns.
Unlike the first four waves, which were all armed with German-produced material, the weapons of the fifth wave units were taken from the stashes of Czechoslovakia, which Germany had annexed between 1938 and 1939.
The units of the seventh wave were the 161st through 170th Infantry Divisions, the 181st Infantry Division, the 183rd Infantry Division, and the 196th through 199th Infantry Divisions.
The divisions of the ninth wave were the 351st Infantry Division, 358th Infantry Division, 365th Infantry Division, 372nd Infantry Division, 379th Infantry Division, 386th Infantry Division, 393rd Infantry Division, 395th Infantry Division, and the 399th Infantry Division.
The divisions of the tenth wave were the 270th through 273rd Infantry Divisions as well as the 276th through 280th Infantry Divisions.
The divisions of the eleventh wave were the 121st through 123rd Infantry Divisions, 125th Infantry Division, 126th Infantry Division, 129th Infantry Division, 131st Infantry Division, 132nd Infantry Division, 134th Infantry Division and 137th Infantry Division.
The divisions of the twelfth wave were the 97th Infantry Division, 99th through 102nd Infantry Division, 106th Infantry Division, and 110th through 112th Infantry Divisions.
The divisions of the 13th wave were the 302nd Infantry Division, 304th through 306th Infantry Divisions, 319th through 321st Infantry Divisions, 323rd Infantry Division and 327th Infantry Division.
The divisions of the 14th wave were the 332nd Infantry Division, 333rd Infantry Division, 335th through 337th Infantry Divisions, 339th Infantry Division, 340th Infantry Division, and 342 Infantry Division.
The divisions of the 15th wave were the 702nd Infantry Division, 704th Infantry Division, and the 707th through 719th Infantry Divisions.
The divisions of the 19th wave were the 370th Infantry Division, 371st Infantry Division, 376th Infantry Division and 377th Infantry Division.
The divisions of the 21st wave were the 349th Infantry Division, 352nd Infantry Division, 353rd Infantry Division, 357th Infantry Division, 359th Infantry Division, 361st Infantry Division, 362nd Infantry Division and 367th Infantry Division.

The divisions of the 23rd wave were the 388th Security Division, 390th Security Division, 391st Security Division, and 52nd Field Training Division.
The divisions of the 25th wave were the 77th Infantry Division, 84th Infantry Division, 89th Infantry Division, 91st Infantry Division, and 92nd Infantry Division.
The divisions of the 27th wave were the 59th Infantry Division, 64th Infantry Division, 226th Infantry Division, 232nd Infantry Division, and 237th Infantry Division.
The divisions of the 29th wave were the 541st through 553rd Volksgrenadier Divisions, 558th Volksgrenadier Division, 559th Volksgrenadier Division, 561st Volksgrenadier Division, and 562nd Volksgrenadier Division.
The divisions of the 30th wave were the 12th Infantry Division, 16th Infantry Division, 19th Infantry Division, 36th Infantry Division (all previously part of 1st wave), as well as the 560th Infantry Division and the 563rd Grenadier Division.
The conscripts were initially organized into Volksgrenadier Divisions, but these were usually then absorbed by other units to replenish the fighting strength of weakened divisions.
The divisions of the 33rd wave were the 48th Infantry Division, 85th Infantry Division (previously 25th wave), 189th Infantry Division, 245th Infantry Division, 246th Infantry Division (previously 3rd wave), 275th Infantry Division (previously 22nd wave), 361st Infantry Division (previously 21st wave), 553rd Volksgrenadier Division, 708th Volksgrenadier Division, and 716th Infantry Division (previously 15th wave).
The Burkina Faso–Togo border is 131 km (81 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Ghana in the west to the tripoint with Benin in the east.
The border starts in the west at the tripoint with Ghana, and continues in a straight line orientated to the south-east.
A short section then runs southwards along the Sansargou river, before a straight line veers to the north-east up to the 11th parallel north; the border then runs in a straight line immediately north of this parallel eastwards, terminating at the Beninese tripoint.
The 1880s saw an intense competition for territory in Africa by the European powers, a process known as the 'Scramble for Africa'.
Germany began taking an interest in acquiring African colonies in this period, signing treaties with chiefs along the coast of modern Togo in July 1884.
As a result of the Scramble France had gained control the upper valley of the Niger River (roughly equivalent to the areas of modern Mali and Niger).
In the First World War German Togoland was conquered by the Allied powers and then split into British and French mandates along a dividing line agreed upon on 10 July 1919.
As the movement for decolonisation grew in the post-Second World War era, France gradually granted more political rights and representation for their sub-Saharan African colonies, culminating in the granting of broad internal autonomy to French West Africa in 1958 within the framework of the French Community.
Eventually, in 1960, both French Togoland and Upper Volta gained independence (British Togoland having been absorbed into Ghana), and their mutual frontier became an international one between two states.
At present third party governments generally discourage travel to the border region due to the poor security situation in Burkina Faso.

On December 26, 2019, an Airbus AS350 B2 helicopter operated by Safari Helicopters, Inc. collided with a ridge and came to rest at an elevation of in Kōkeʻe State Park, approximately northwest of Lihue, Hawaii.
The aircraft involved in the incident was a Eurocopter AS350 Écureuil, which had been previously involved in an accident on February 1, 2001.
In the 2001 accident, the helicopter impacted terrain and rolled over; the pilot, who was the sole occupant, received minor injuries.
Proper operation is verified by moving the cyclic two to three times along each axis separately to 10% of total travel.
After the pilot verified hydraulic accumulator operation, the aircraft became airborne in a nose-low attitude; the pilot had his left hand on the cyclic and his right hand was operating the hydraulic test pushbutton.
He rearranged his grip to hold the collective in his left hand and the cyclic in his right; after pulling back on the cyclic, intending to complete the takeoff and gain airspeed, the helicopter instead entered an oscillation, pulling back and to the right with nose high, then low again.
It struck the ground tail-first on the right side, coming to rest on its right side after the main rotor disintegrated.
The subsequent National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation determined the collective lock was not effective and caused the helicopter to unexpectedly take off, exacerbated by the hands-off position forced by the hydraulic test sequence.
Safari Helicopters was founded in 1987, and the pilot of the flight, Paul Matero, was its chief pilot and had 12 years of experience with Safari.
The flight originated from Lihue Airport (FAA LID: LIH) at approximately 1631 HST on December 26, 2019; it was scheduled to last 50 minutes and was the pilot's eighth and final flight of the day.
After the helicopter failed to return to Lihue, it was reported missing at 1731 and a search for the helicopter began.

The Burkina Faso–Ghana border is 602 km (374 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Ivory Coast in the west to the tripoint with Togo in the east.
The border starts in the west at the tripoint with Ivory Coast on the Black Volta river; the border continues north along this river up to the 11th parallel north.
The border then turns east, following this parallel until it reaches the Red Volta (though note that the border is not entirely straight in this sector, as at several points the boundary jogs north or south).
The border follows the Red Volta briefly to the south-east, before turning to the north-east via a series of irregular overland lines.
It then reaches the White Volta, following this river briefly, and then the Nouhao, before it turns to the south-east in a straight line down to the Togolese tripoint.
Europeans had begun exploring the coast of Ghana (then referred to as the Gold Coast) from the 15th century, and it became the centre of a various trading networks, notably in gold and slaves; Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Portugal and the Netherlands all had trading posts here at one point.
Britain also took an interest in the region, and during the 19th century became the predominant regional power, taking over all the rival trading posts and declaring the Gold Coast colony in 1867.
The British gradually extended their rule into the interior, against often determined resistance by native kingdoms such as the Asante; the northern region of what is now Ghana was annexed to the Gold Coast colony in 1901.
The 1880s saw an intense competition between the European powers for territories in Africa, a process known as the Scramble for Africa.
The process culminated in the Berlin Conference of 1884, in which the European nations concerned agreed upon their respective territorial claims and the rules of engagements going forward.
As a result of this France had gained control the upper valley of the Niger River (roughly equivalent to the areas of modern Mali and Niger).
During the period 1932-47 the internal arrangements of French West Africa were altered: Upper Volta was abolished and its territory split out between French Sudan, Niger and Ivory Coast; as a result during this period the Ghana-Upper Volta was thereby abolished, becoming a continuance of the Ghana–Ivory Coast border.
The Gold Coast gained full independence from Britain (as Ghana) in 1957; France granted Upper Volta independence in 1960, and their mutual frontier became an international one between two sovereign states.
He pioneered the research of Tiandihui and other secret societies using Qing dynasty archives and overturned the findings of earlier Republican-era scholars.
He also studied the links between the Warlord Era and banditry during the late Qing dynasty and early Republic of China.
Cai was born on 14 August 1933 in Hexing Township, Changshu (now part of Zhangjiagang) in Jiangsu province of the Republic of China.
He entered the Department of History of Peking University in 1956, and upon graduation in 1960, he became a teaching assistant to historian Shao Xunzheng (邵循正) while continuing his graduate studies at Peking University.
Using his research on Qing dynasty archives housed in Beijing, a previously neglected source for the topic, Cai advanced a vastly different interpretation of the origins of the Tiandihui (Heaven and Earth Society) and the importance of secret societies in Chinese history.
His work is considered to have opened a new chapter of scholarship in the field, but further research was hampered by the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976).
After the end of the period, Cai and his former student Qin Baoqi emerged as leaders in the field in China.
They concluded that the Tiandihui was founded in 1761 and not in the early Qing dynasty, and that the roots of the Tiandihui and other secret societies lay in mutual aid and not national politics as previously thought.
Together with Philip Billingsley, Cai pioneered research on the links between the Warlord Era and banditry during the late Qing dynasty and early Republic of China.
Rejecting the simplistic view that attributed the chaos of era to the moral bankruptcy of the warlords, they studied how population growth, government breakdown, military buildup and other factors contributed to banditry.
Deserters from armies turned to banditry to make a living, and banditry in turn fuelled militarization as regional elites created militias to protect their localities.
During World War II and the occupation of Poland by Nazi Germany (1939-1945), Poles were subjected to terror and mass German repression.
An incomplete list drawn up after World War II estimates the number of 299 such Polish villages destroyed by German occupiers, e.g.
The largest pacification operation took place between November 1942 and August 1943 in the region of Zamość in Poland, which was selected by the Germans for the area intended for German colonization as part of the Generalplan Ost plan.
Pacification and expulsion of Poles in the Lublin region were under the leadership of the SS commander and police in the Lublin District, SS-Brigadeführer Odilo Globocnik.
The second phase of the operation lasted from mid-January to the end of March 1943 and covered mainly the areas of the Hrubieszów poviat.
The terror of the German occupiers met with passive resistance of the displaced population and the armed reaction of the Polish resistance movement.
Guerrilla units of the Peasant Battalions, the Home Army and the People's Guard attempted to stop the crimes and pacification and displacement activities, attacked German economic and communication facilities, as well as retaliated against the Germans and their colonists occupying Polish villages.
The resistance posed by the Polish guerilla in connection with the difficult situation of German troops on the Eastern Front (World War II) forced the occupiers to temporarily stop displacement.
According to witnesses, shortly before the massacre, Gestapo agents appeared in the village, claiming to be partisans, examining the attitude of the population to the Polish resistance.
Extermination in Sochy was one of the many pacifications that the Germans carried out in the Zamość region and in Poland.
When the inhabitants saw the Germans, they began to take their belongings out of their homes because they expected that displacement action would start soon.
Then came from 7 to 10 Luftwaffe aircraft, which bombed and fired at machine guns both the village and nearby fields, where the inhabitants who hid the first phase of the massacre were hiding.
It was the first case in occupied Poland of the use of military aviation by the German occupiers during the pacification of the entire village.
During the pacification, the German Luftwaffe also bombarded Polish villages: Sochy, Lublin Voivodeship, Momoty Dolne, Momoty Górne, Pawłów, Chełm County, Tokary, Lublin Voivodeship, and Klew.
According to Czesław Madajczyk, 106 men, 53 women and 24 children were among the victims, other sources say that 108 men and 54 women or 103 women and children were murdered.
In retaliation for the massacre and pacification of Sochy, partisan units of the Polish Underground State of the Home Army commanded by Adam Piotrowski, pseud.
In the village of Sochy there is a cemetery with mass graves of victims of the massacre carried out by the German Nazi occupiers.
A monument was also built to commemorate the victims, among whom there were about 45 children murdered, women about 52, men about 88.
There is also a board near the cemetery informing about the pacification and extermination of the inhabitants of the village of Sochy by German invaders, in three languages: Polish, German and English.
The work of the poet Teresa Ferenc, who, as a nine-year-old child, survived the pacification of Sochy and lost both her parents in it, refers to the massacre in Sochy and World War II.

Intended for the Unitarian ministry, Wood entered the University of Glasgow in 1806, but left without taking a degree in 1808, and went into business in Liverpool.
He then embarked on a legal career, entering the Inner Temple in 1820, and was called to the bar in 1825, practising as a barrister on the northern circuit.
Standing for election as a Whig in Preston in 1826, Wood was elected alongside Edward Smith-Stanley (the future Earl of Derby and three-time Prime Minister), defeating the Radical William Cobbett and the anti-Catholic candidate Robert Smith Barrie.
As a dissenter, he supported religious liberty, advocating repeal of the Test Acts in 1827 and 1828, and supporting Catholic emancipation, which passed as the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829.
In the 1830 Wood and Smith-Stanley overcame a challenge by the Radical Henry Hunt, but in the by-election following Smith-Stanley's appointment as Chief Secretary for Ireland (in which only Smith-Stanley's seat, not Wood's, was contested), Hunt defeated Smith-Stanley.
He served as Recorder of York 1832–1833, Chairman of the Board of Stamps and Taxes 1833–1838, Chairman of the Board of Revenue 1838–1849, and Chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue from 1849 until his death.

His father Vinod Ankolekar, an employee at the electricity department of BEST and Kanga League cricketer, wanted him to become a professional cricketer and placed a cricket bat near his crib on the day of his birth.
After being initially coached by his father, Ankolekar was trained for one season at Chandrakant Pandit's academy but later had to switch to MIG Cricket Club due to financial constraints.
Ankolekar's family struggled to make ends meet after his father's death, even as Ankolekar's mother Vaidehi Ankolekar's worked part-time as a private tutor.
Ankolekar made steady progress through Mumbai's age-group teams, before being selected for India B in the Under-19 Challenger Trophy and Mumbai under-23 squad in 2019.
He picked 12 wickets in the tournament, including a match-winning 5/28 in the final against Bangladesh, to finish as the highest wicket-taker.
In the aftermath of the Asia Cup victory, Ankolekar gained selection in the Mumbai senior team for the 2019–20 Vijay Hazare Trophy.
After sitting out of India's first two matches in the tournament, Ankolekar's spell of 3/28 in the final group stage match against New Zealand drew praise.

School's Out () is a 2018 French social drama thriller directed by Sébastien Marnier who co-wrote the script with Elise Griffon, based on Christophe Dufossé's 2002 novel of the same name.
Substitute French teacher, Pierre Hoffman finds himself in charge of teaching an experimental class of twelve gifted students at the renowned Saint Joseph College.
The class had witnessed their previous French teacher commit suicide by jumping out of the window, and Pierre is treated with hostility and distrust by the class.
The class hall monitors, Apolline and Dimitri, are ringleaders of separate subgroups in the class, and Apolline soon pits herself against Hoffman.
In 2017 it was announced that Sébastien Marnier, who had previously directed the 2016 thriller Irréprochable, would helm the project and that Laurent Lafitte and Emmanuelle Bercot had joined the cast.

EJ Oakley of The Panoptic gave it 4 out of 5 stars, and praised the performances of Lafitte and Bajrami, while noting that the film did not satisfactorily tie up all of its loose ends and subplots.
The Ghana–Ivory Coast border is 720 km (447 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Burkina Faso in the north to the Atlantic Ocean in the south.
The border starts in the north at the tripoint with Burkina Faso on the Black Volta river, following this river southwards.
The border then follows a broad arc, composed predominately of overland lines as well as some streams, before reaching the Tano River.
The border then follows the Tano as it flows to the south-west into Aby Lagoon; it then runs along the southern shore of the adjoining Lake Tendo, before veering southwards overland down to the Atlantic coast.

France had begun signing treaties with chiefs along the modern Ivorian coast in the 1840s, thereby establishing a protectorate which later became the colony of Ivory Coast in 1893.
Britain and France delimited a border between the two territories on 10 August 1889 as far north as the 9th parallel north.
A further treaty of 26 June 1891 confirmed this border, and also stated that the Black Volta would form the border in the far north.
The border was then demarcated in much greater detail in an agreement of 1st February 1903, with beacons and pillars demarcating the border on the ground; the two governments then formally approved this border in May 1905.
The Gold Coast gained full independence from Britain (as Ghana) in 1957; France granted Ivory Coast independence in 1960, and their mutual frontier became an international one between two sovereign states.
The Championship was 'unofficial' as the Scottish Rugby Union held that the sport should remain amateur and at the time did not sanction competitive games between the clubs.
Numerous forms of football were played in Scotland in the years prior to the introduction of the Rugby rules which were adopted for the boys of Edinburgh Academy in the early 1850s.
The game spread and by the end of the 1860s the Academicals opponents included Edinburgh University, St Andrews University, the Merchistonians, Royal HSFP, West of Scotland FC, Glasgow Academicals, Edinburgh Wanderers and Glasgow University.
As inter club games became more commonplace in the mid-1860s the club with the most successful record in club matches was recognised as the Scottish club champion on an unofficial basis.
The championship was always awarded on the basis of the results between the teams in the championship table only which meant that games against clubs from England or further afield were not counted.
Up until 1939 the honour was awarded to the club with the fewest defeats, which led to several seasons where the championship was shared.
The Academicals retained the championship in 1870–71 as a result of having the best record amongst the Scottish clubs despite the loss of two matches.
Glasgow Academicals won the inaugural fixture with the Edinburgh Academicals in 1871–72, and, by remaining undefeated in their other fixtures wrested the championship from Edinburgh for the first time.
Edinburgh District was represented by Edinburgh Academicals, Royal HSFP, Edinburgh Institution FP, Watsonians, Edinburgh University, Edinburgh Wanderers, Stewarts FP & Heriots FP.
The Glasgow District clubs were Glasgow Academicals, Clydesdale, Greenock Wanderers, West of Scotland, Kelvinside Academicals, Glasgow HSFP and Glasgow University whilst the Border representatives were Hawick, Gala, Jed-Forest Melrose, Selkirk, Kelso and Langholm.
Hillhead HSFP joined the championship in 1913–14 which was to be the last championship season for Clydesdale who were unable to continue after the first world war.
The 1930s saw St Andrew's University added to the championship in 1936–37, Edinburgh Institution FP renamed as Melville College FP, following the school's relocation in 1937–38, and in 1938–39 Hutcheson's GSFP and Allan Glen's FP ascended to the championship with Allan Glen's heading the table in their first season.
The post war years saw Kelvinside and West of Scotland combine until 1950–51 whilst Musselburgh and Aberdeen GSFP were newcomers to the championship.
By the middle of the decade Boroughmuir FP had joined the table with Trinity Academicals, Jordanhill and Ayr following in the 1960s.
By 1972–73, the final season prior to the introduction of league rugby, Leith Academicals, Broughton FP and Perthshire were recognised as championship clubs.
The SRU committee in 1973 decided that the structure of the club game needed changing; and introduced a competitive six league structure for its clubs.

The Ghana–Togo border is 1,098 km (682 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Burkina Faso in the north to the Atlantic Ocean in the south.
The border starts in the north at the tripoint with Burkina Faso; it then veers eastwards, almost re-touching the Burkinabe border and thereby creating a piece of Togolese territory almost cut off by only 0.14 km (0.1 m) from the main body of the country.
The border follows this river for a while, before veering south-eastwards, utilising overland lines and some small rivers, eventually reaching the Oti River.
The border then follows the Oti southwards, then veers eastwards along one of its branches, before turning south overland down to the Mo River.
After a brief section on the Mo the border then continues to the south, using various overland segments and some small rivers, before eventually terminating at the Atlantic coast just west of Togo's capital Lomé.

The 1880s saw an intense competition for territory in Africa by the European powers, a process known as the 'Scramble for Africa'.
Germany began taking an interest in acquiring colonies, signing treaties with chiefs along the coast of modern Togo in July 1884.
An initial border in the southern-most section west of Lomé was agreed upon by Britain and Germany on 14 July 1886.
The full boundary was then delimited in late 1901, and then demarcated on the ground 1901-02; this final boundary was approved on 25 June 1904.
In the First World War German Togoland was conquered by the Allies and then split into British and French mandates along a mandate lines agreed upon on 10 July 1919.

The description of the transformations of the social and physical landscape hints at the social malaise by focusing on the human pain and hardship that are commonplace around the city.
The patriotic celebrations were led by a committee of several eminent men of letters associated with the journalistic field, and were in line with Comte's prevalent positivist ideological trends of the time: they were to serve as a civic and patriotic movement that could wake the Portuguese public spirit and make the people understand modern social ideals.
Cesário Verde opted not to adopt the deliberate intention of defending a political cause with the obvious moral judgements and convictions of an ideal future that were found in other contemporary poems: the personal reflection on isolated fragments of human existence, the sad decadent reality of the state of Portuguese society, was not in keeping the nationalist exaltation and political propaganda produced by his peers.
Verde's Parnassian lyric would only be embraced and popularised many years following his death in 1886 at the age of 31, by Portuguese Modernists such as Mário de Sá-Carneiro and Fernando Pessoa (whose heteronyms Álvaro de Campos, Alberto Caeiro and Bernardo Soares praise Verde).

The Salisbury cutlery industry was active in the city of Salisbury, England from late Medieval times until the start of the 20th century.
While production was not on the scale of the Sheffield cutlery industry, the Salisbury cutlers were noted for the quality of their products.
A reason given for success of the industry was the fineness of the steel produced, resulting from the quality of the local water, which came from the surrounding chalk downland.
The Salisbury Museum has a collection of Salisbury-made cutlery and a scrapbook of trade-cards that were collected by the Salisbury cutlers, James and Thomas Goddard, who were cutlers to George III.
Late 18th-century directories list six cutlers in Salisbury, and in 1790 it was said that the city was noted for the manufacture of scissors.
George III and the Duchess of Kent are said to have patronised members of the Botly family, cutlers of the Market Place.
James Macklin, a working cutler who was Mayor of Salisbury at the outbreak of the First World War, was knighted for his work for the war effort.

The Spring Juvenile Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually during the first part of May from 1917 through 1930 at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland.
At the time the Spring Juvenile Stakes was created Pimlico already had the Nursery Stakes which was run under the exact same terms and distance.
Careful in 1920 and Lord Baltimore in 1921 marked the only two times the Spring Juvenile winner also won the Pimlico Nursery Stakes.
The inaugural running of the Spring Juvenile Stakes took place on May 12, 1917 and was won by Edward McBride's colt Charlie Leydecker who defeated Quietude, the betting favorite owned by Alfred H. Morris.
The Wall Street Crash of 1929 marked the beginning of the Great Depression which would soon force racetrack owners to cut purse money for all races and to cancel others.
Pimlico already had the Nursery Stakes open to all, and the Home-Bred Stakes for Maryland-bred two-year-olds, both of which were at the same distance as the Spring Juvenile Stakes.
Because the Nursery Stakes had the higher profile as a stakes first run in 1909, and the importance of promoting breeding in the state of Maryland, it would be the Spring Juvenile Stakes that would be dropped from the schedule.

Lefaive was an original council member for the Canada Games that began in 1967, and was named a director of the Canadian Olympic Association.
He developed a working relationship with John Munro, the Minister of Health and Welfare, and was able to influence the government's policies on sport.
In 1968, Lefaive recommended that the directorate set national sport policies with the rationale it was staffed with full-time civil servants who were experts in physical education and public administration, instead of the National Advisory Council on Fitness who were volunteers.
On February 21, 1969, Hockey Canada began operations as a separate entity from the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA), and Lefaive was appointed to the initial board of directors with the goal of the Canada men's national ice hockey team defeating the Soviet Union national ice hockey team, and assist in planning the upcoming 1970 Ice Hockey World Championships hosted in Canada.
Lefaive explained that Sport Canada would be concerned with the competitive aspects of sports, and Recreation Canada would be concerned with getting more Canadians to participate in sports for pleasure.
In June 1971, Lefaive felt that universities were becoming less opposed to third party scholarships for athletes, and hoped it would relieve the financial burden of bidding for athletes to attend their school.
Sport Canada offered 100 scholarships to athletes at that time, and he hoped to broaden the scholarship base by increasing participation in sport.
In February 1972, Lefaive became part of the board of directors for the Sport Federation of Canada, via his role in Sport Canada.
In 1973, Lefaive called for amateur sport leaders in Canada to be more vocal in supporting the planned 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.
Lefaive was acting as the assistant deputy Minister of Amateur Sport, from July 18 to September 1, 1973, until an appointment took effect.
In September 1973, he attended as a government observer to the renegotiation of the professional-amateur agreement between the National Hockey League (NHL) represented by Clarence Campbell, and the CAHA represented by Jack Devine.
On November 30, 1973, Marc Lalonde the Canadian Minister of Health and Welfare, named Lefaive the president designate of a proposed corporation which would include all amateur sport bodies.
He was part of the Canadian delegation attending the 1971 Ice Hockey World Championships, which began discussions on a possible return of the national team to international competition.
He expected the Japanese Olympic Committee to invite Canada to ice hockey at the 1972 Winter Olympics, and that Hockey Canada would consider without indicating any acceptance or refusal.
In February 1972, the Canadian Bureau of Public Affairs empowered Joe Kryczka, president of the CAHA, Charles Hay chairman of Hockey Canada, and Lefaive to oversee diplomatic efforts to return Canada to international ice hockey, and gave them needed assistance from Canadian embassies in Europe, and specifically the Embassy of Canada in Moscow.
Kryczka, Hay and Lefaive went to Prague in April 1972 to finalize a deal with the Soviet Union Ice Hockey Federation for what became the 1972 Summit Series.
While in Prague, Lefaive and Doug Fisher spoke with Derek Holmes who was coaching the Switzerland men's national ice hockey team, and convinced him to join Hockey Canada as its technical director to help build the national team.
After the Summit Series was announced, Lefaive stated that future agreements to have international hockey events with professional players did not mean Canada would return to the Ice Hockey World Championships or ice hockey at the Olympic Games.
He noted that obstacles were the timing of the events overlapping with the National Hockey League (NHL) season, and the cost of traveling to Europe from North America.
He said Canada would ask for the World Championships to be scheduled in May after NHL playoffs, or in September during professional training camps.
In April 1973, Lefaive and Gordon Juckes met with Andrei Starovoytov from the Soviet Union Ice Hockey Federation to discuss the possibility of another series.
He met with the CAHA, NHL, World Hockey Association (WHA) and European countries regarding a potential World Cup of Hockey in open competition.
He supported adding the WHA Players' Association representative Ron Roberts to the committee to give the players a voice, despite opposition from Ben Hatskin who owned the Winnipeg Jets.
He described the vision of the new centre as providing direct administrative and technical assistance to amateur sport organizations, and helping those volunteer organizations achieve more.
From 1976 to 1977, Lefaive served as the first president of the Canadian Paralympic Committee and presided over the government's coordinating committee for the Sports for the Physically Disabled.
He oversaw the allocation of government funds for the Canadian Wheelchair Sports Association, the Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing, the Canadian Amputee Sports Association and the Canadian Blind Sports Association.
He cautioned that raising the level of competition at the Canada Games would lead to the more populated Canadian provinces dominating the events.
On April 13, 1978, Lefaive was appointed by Iona Campagnolo to return as director of Sport Canada, and replace Roger Jackson who resigned.
He said Canada need to take a long look at whether results were worth the tax payer's money, and suggested that the money might be better spent going to competitions in Europe.
In October 1978, the CAHA used its International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) membership to block a series of international exhibition games between the WHA and Europeans teams, that were arranged by Hockey Canada.
The CAHA was upset about the WHA not paying development fees when it signed players from junior ice hockey teams in Canada.
He agreed with the CAHA to move forward planning the 1980 Canada Cup, but still disputed who had control of the Canada men's national junior ice hockey team.
He felt that Hockey Canada's links to the private sector would help establish a permanent national men's team, and finance the national junior team at the World Juniors.
In October 1979, Lefaive announced a proposal to operate an elite CIAU hockey league in Canada funded by Hockey Canada and the private sector.
The aims were to encourage the best student athletes to remain in Canada instead of accepting scholarships in the United States, and act to as a feeder program for the national men's team.
The CAHA chose not to send a team to the 1980 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, and Lefaive stated the decision would hurt Canada's reputation.
The CAHA stated it withdrew because funding from Sport Canada was denied, whereas Sport Canada said the request came too late.
He made it a priority to have a CIAU super league operational by the 1980–81 school season, and suggested it would cost an extra C$25,000 per team.
He continued preparations for the 1980 Canada Cup, despite the ongoing Soviet–Afghan War, although he received a request from Steve Paproski, the Minister of Amateur Sport, to review its relationship with the Soviet Union team.
Despite not winning a medal in ice hockey at the 1980 Winter Olympics, Lefaive committed to continue the national team program and a university hockey league.
He wanted to keep the nucleus of the team together for international tournaments such as the Izvestia Cup in Moscow, and the Rudé právo tournament in Czechoslovakia, and add players for the upcoming World Championships.
Lefaive was critical of the NHL for giving nearly twice the financial assistance to the United States men's national ice hockey team instead of Team Canada, and felt that the NHL owed more to Canada.
He accepted responsibility for cancelling the 1980 Canada Cup due to lack of sponsors and public opinion on world events, and hoped the event could be held in 1981.
In a January 1981 interview, Lefaive said that the cancellation of the 1980 Canada Cup left Hockey Canada without money to fund a national team which went on hold for a year.
He began planning in summer 1981 for ice hockey at the 1984 Winter Olympics, and expected the national men's team to be composed of junior and college players.
After the victorious team was prevented from taking the trophy home to the Soviet Union by Alan Eagleson, Winnipeg businessman George Smith planned on presenting a copy of the Canada Cup trophy to the Soviet players at Portage and Main.
Lefaive served as the executive director of the Canadian Figure Skating Association from 1983 to 1986, and served as a board member of the Sports Federation of Canada.
In November 1984, he proposed collaborating on a series of events with the United States Figure Skating Association to strengthen North American competition and its talent.
Lefaive departed the Canadian Figure Skating Association to pursue opportunities in sports marketing, and was succeeded as executive director by David Dore on January 20, 1986.
Lefaive served as the executive director of Sport Marketing Canada from 1986 to 1992, and was president of the Sport Marketing Council.
He expected corporate funding to grow in the next four years and suggested that sports organizations set a target of 50% funding from private sources.

Evander Holyfield vs. Ossie Ocasio was a professional boxing match contested on February 14, 1987 for the WBA and IBF cruiserweight title.
In Evander Holyfield's previous fight, he had defeated Rickey Parkey by third round technical knockout to add the IBF cruiserweight title to the WBA version he had captured the previous year.
On the undercard of the fight former WBA cruiserweight champions Ossie Ocasio and Dwight Muhammad Qawi would meet to determine the IBF's #1 contender, with both men having already signed a contract that guaranteed them a title match against the winner of the Holyfield–Parkey fight.
Ocasio would earn a controversial majority decision victory despite spending most of the fight on the defensive, having avoided engaging Qawi, constantly baking away and clinching, leading the referee to eventually deduct a point for excessive holding.
However, two judges scored the fight in favor of Ocasio with scores of 96–94 and 95–94 while the third had scored it a draw at 95–95.
The IBF eventually allowed Ocasio to keep their #1 ranking and Qawi instead would meet former IBF cruiserweight Lee Roy Murphy on the undercard with the winner earning a title shot against the winner of the Holyfield–Ocasio fight.
Like he had in his previous fight with Qawi, Ocasio used a defensive approach while Holyfield served as the aggressor throughout and had won all 10 rounds on one judge's scorecard (100–92) and taken 9 on the other two scorecards (99–94).
Holyfield would finally end the fight early in the 11th round when he dropped Ocasio with a left uppercut followed by a right hand.
Ocasio was able to continue but Holyfield would continue to attack Ocasio and after Holyfield landed several unanswered combinations with Ocasio against the ropes, the referee stopped the fight and Holyfield was declared the winner by technical knockout at 1:24 of the round.

The Gokaigers are a group of young pirates from space that hear of the legend of the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, which leads them to Earth.
However, on their journey, they cross paths with the evil Space Empire Zangyack, who conquered their planets long ago and placed bounties on their heads before indirectly interfering in their invasion of Earth and increasing the bounty as a result.
Whenever the Gokaigers change into a past Super Sentai group, they will sometimes refer to themselves as the version of that team.
The Gokaigers often state that they are not heroes like the Super Sentai, but rather they say that they are merely pirates who only help out due to circumstance.
But their experience on Earth, especially after Gai joins the crew, has led them to accept their role as Super Sentai as they value the earth and its inhabitants as they wish to protect the earth.
By that time, as the bounty now states them to be killed on sight, the Gokaigers decide to finally take the fight to the Zangyack.
After the death of Akudos Gill and the fall of the Zangyack Empire, Marvelous returns the Ranger Keys, along with the Great Powers within them, back to the respective previous warriors, and he and his crew departs the Earth, going on a journey to the homeworld of Zangyack to find what he presumes to be the second Greatest Treasure.
Once helping the Go-Busters defeat Bacchus, the Gokaigers leave Earth in the newest Super Sentai team's hands while they resume looking for treasure in the cosmos.
He was originally a resident of a planet invaded by the Zangyack Empire before turning to piracy, though he had no desire or motivation except to pursue the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, which he did not truly believe in at the time.
While raiding a Zangyack treasure depository, he met Aka Red, who recruited him to the while telling him to never give up if he wishes to obtain the Greatest Treasure.
When the Red Pirates were wiped out in a Zangyack attack after being betrayed by their shipmate Basco Ta Jolokia, Marvelous promised Aka Red to continue his quest for the Greatest Treasure.
While he has no idea what the treasure is supposed to be, he makes finding it his only goal in life, eventually forming his own crew of space pirates whose members also share his ideal.
Though he is the team leader, Captain Marvelous is an unpredictable sort of character who does reckless things to satisfy his curiosity, stating his actions as what any pirate would do in that particular moment, earning the ire of his crew, especially Don, at times.
But his sense of responsibility as a leader is still very well intact, as shown when if his crew is ever in mortal danger, he would use his authority as captain and sacrifice himself, much like Aka Red did for him, to ensure their safety.
He is much stronger than he looks as he is usually seen exercising himself by wearing a heavy bracelet while playing darts.
His strength is displayed in a flashback in episode 12, where he rips the Zangyack tracking collar off Joe's neck, as well as in episode 21, where he rips the Heart of Hades right out of Ryuuwon's chest.
Before having Doc and Ahim join his crew, Marvelous's bounty was already established at 1,000,000 and raised to 1,500,000 when they get to Earth.
Captain Marvelous manages to defeat Basco to retrieve the five remaining Great Powers that the privateer had stolen, with his crew defeating Akudos to end the Zangyack empire's reign of terror.
He battles and apparently destroys every Kamen Rider except for Tsukasa Kadoya, Kamen Rider Decade, and the leader of Dai-Shocker, who likewise seemingly destroyed every Ranger except for Joe and Don However, this ultimately turns out to be a ruse, as Marvelous and Tsukasa learned that the villains were planning on joining forces to defeat the Rangers and Riders, and hatched a plan to prevent this.
A man of few words, his cool and serious demeanor offsets his swordsmanship skills, making him the best fighter in the team.
Joe was once a member of the Zangyack's Imperial Special Forces, but when he was instructed to kill a group of captive children on his first mission, he refused and was imprisoned and beaten for attacking his superior officers while having their prisoners escape, only managing to escape thanks to the apparent sacrifice of his friend, senior and mentor, Sid Bamick.
While on the run with a 500,000 bounty on his head, unable to settle in any one place for long due to the tracking collar attached to his neck, Joe was saved from his executioners by Captain Marvelous, whom he vowed to follow after Captain Marvelous managed to get the collar off through painstaking effort.
After discovering that Sid had not died but was extensively modified to become Barizorg and unable to save him to his dismay, Joe realizes he had already found a new family in the form of the Gokaiger crew without realizing it, and decides to let go of his past and finally able to truly move on after defeating Barizorg.
He eventually has his showdown with Barizorg, killing him and finally freeing the soul of his old friend, earning Sid's acknowledgement and finally giving Joe the closure he sought.
Originally a poor, homeless girl, Luka looked after the other orphans with her friend Cain when their planet was under attack by the Zangyack.
From that point on, Luka made a promise to herself that she would create a place where these orphans and many others elsewhere to live in peace, even if it means buying an entire planet to do so.
This has made Luka appreciate the value of money and her methods of gaining it borderline on being greedy, even poking fun at the possibility of turning her crewmates in for the bounty.
After losing her younger sister Lia to an illness, Luka left their planet to obtain funds by stealing from Zangyack warehouses, with examples being Zagins and energy crystals before she got caught.
However, Captain Marvelous and Joe just happened to come by to steal from the empire when she was caught, saving and offering her the chance to make use her skills as their reconnaissance and infiltration expert.
Though she refuses at first, Luka joins the crew after hearing their prize is the Greatest Treasure in the Universe and sees the value in obtaining such a thing worth an entire universe.
Since joining the Gokai Galleon's crew, Luka has acquired a collection of expensive jewelry which the others will sometimes use to exchange for local currency, much to her dismay.
Also, having frequently trained her eyes since childhood by spotting 10 shooting stars before she goes to sleep, Luka has developed acute reflexes in combat, which she uses to make up for her relative lack of physical strength.
Her bounty is initially set at 100,000 but is later raised to 300,000 upon arriving on Earth, then to 750,000 and then 1,500,000.
Because of the way she lost Lia, Luka sees Ahim as a surrogate little sister, constantly concerned over her safety, a far different personality than her normal tough and cheeky personality she has when around the others.
is the cheerful and honest ship mechanic, cook and caretaker who can transform into , his seemingly spineless attitude is actually hiding his true courage which he shows when his friends are in danger.
Don ran a repair store in the middle of nowhere until he met Luka and recognized her from her wanted poster when the girl's crew needed repairs on the Gokai Galleon after a brush with the Zanyack.
He boarded the Gokai Galleon on his own volition later to honor his promise of helping out with the repairs, claiming himself to be a refugee from a Zangyack-conquered world.
Other than fixing the ship, he single-handedly cleaned the filthy living quarters and gave the crew a decent meal before getting on with the needed repairs.
Don's skills in gadgetry, cleaning, and cooking impressed Marvelous immensely, leading Don being shanghaied into the crew while being nicknamed .
During battle, due to having little to no martial prowess, Don relies heavily on stealth and trickery using the environment around him to improvise attacks.
While still a bit of a coward, the Gokaigers' adventures on Earth have made him more confident in himself and able to support his teammates better, to the point where he volunteered to develop a new weapon for the team when his team's current weapons proved inadequate for defeating Shieldon.
Due to his perceived background, the Zangyack Empire see Doc as no true concern on his own and originally set his bounty at a mere 100, but this is later raised to 1,000 and then 5,000 in response to his meddling in their affairs.
Even though his bounty remains puny in comparison to the rest of the crew, he is the only member of the team actually concerned about their increasing value, as it will eventually bring more enemies coming after their heads.
The Gokaiger crew would later learn that he was a legendary hero who disappeared after slaying a planet-eating dragon from a magazine, though it was eventually revealed that it's nothing more than a prank Doc played on the rest of the crew.
When Captain Marvelous was captured and the rest of the Gokai Galleon crew seemingly killed-in-action, Doc decided to live up to the lie he made regardless and formulates a plan to rescue their captain from his execution by making himself a decoy so Damarasu would fail to notice Navi freeing their captain.
After Damarasu's demise, Doc's bounty eventually raises to 300,000 as he is finally seen by the Zangyack as a problem even though he is tied with Gai for the lowest bounty.
The fourth member to join Captain Marvelous, she was the princess of the planet Famille before Zatsurigu of the Zangyack Imperial Guard destroyed her home world and killed her parents for not accepting annexation as threatened to.
She came across the pirates by chance while on the run, asking to join their crew so that she can fight the Zangyack forces and inspire hope to any other survivors from her home world and any other planet the Zangyack wiped out.
Unlike the rest of her crewmates, she was practically useless when she first started out as a pirate due to having no unique utilitarian abilities, having zero martial prowess, constantly making a mess out of chores with her clumsiness, and very slow to catch up to anything.
But unlike most of her more trigger-happy and rude teammates or the otherwise spineless Doc, she usually tries to solve conflicts peacefully.
Due to her royal upbringing, she is also unusually courteous, not only making her the crew's diplomat, but also capable of easing any tension among her teammates, who would constantly bicker among themselves before she arrived due to their rougher personalities.
Due to her time spent training and living with the other pirates, she is now a competent pirate and fully capable of holding her own in a fight, evident when she fends off an armed kidnapper easily and with grace.
She is the most fascinated with many aspects of common Earth culture as, being raised in royalty, she has very little understanding of life outside of her high society lifestyle.
is the only Earthling of the group and a Super Sentai fan who was injured while saving a little girl from being hit by a truck.
Soon after, in a dream, Gai was visited by the ghosts of Mikoto Nakadai (Abare Killer), Time Fire, and Dragon Ranger, as they gave him both the ability to become and access to their respective teams' Great Powers.
He was originally denied by Captain Marvelous to be a part of the crew as he didn't think Gai brought something unique to his crew nor did he feel that Gai knew what it meant to be an enemy of the Zangyack empire.
His enthusiasm and bravery allowed Gai to join the Gokaigers with the vow to use his powers to destroy the Zangyack Empire for good.
Upon joining the Gokaigers, his bounty is initially established at 100,000, later raised to 300,000 due to his role in the death of Warz Gill.
Gai also has a strange power to use his imagination to influence the Ranger Keys, fusing them to create variant keys such as the Go-on Wings Key, the Key with the Gokai Red and Gokai Green Keys, and the Gold Anchor Key with all fifteen sixth hero Ranger Keys.
Through the Gold Anchor Key, Gokai Silver can transform into the armored , increasing his offensive capacity and defense, though the cumbersome armor slows him down considerably.
It does not take long for Gai to prove himself a valuable asset to the team, as not only he is a cook as good as Don and a fighter with skills at par with that of Joe's, but as a Super Sentai fan himself, he has a vast knowledge about the previous teams that his shipmates lack.
One advantage of his knowledge is his ability to differentiate Shiro Akebono from Daigoro Oume (as both characters are played by Kenji Ohba) just by their scents (as, according to him, Oume smells like anpan, while Akebono smells of the Savanna).
As a Super Sentai fan, he has great respect for any past Super Sentai members, to the point of going hysterical when he meets any of them and asking for their autographs.
Although he respects those heroes who came before him, he would not hesitate to talk back at any of them if that means defending what he thinks is right, as well as standing up for his team.
After the death of Akudos Gill and the dissolution of Zangyack Empire, Gai says his goodbye to his friends on Earth and he sets on his journey with the Gokaigers to the homeworld of Zangyack.
is a robotic parrot who originally belonged to Aka Red before serving the Gokaigers in navigating the Gokai Galleon through space to the location of the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, possessing a form of fortune telling called where she flies around before hitting her head and providing cryptic hints on where the Greatest Treasure may be found on Earth.
These hints only lead them to meet members of the previous Super Sentai who help them to unlock the true potential of their Ranger Keys or when they have an imminent important event, like their clash with Basco Ta Jolokia or their encounter with Gai Ikari who unbeknownst to the group at the time is Gokai Silver.
Once Gai joins the crew, his knowledge of previous Super Sentai teams enables him to determine the meanings behind Navi's fortune-telling.
Due to her involvement in helping Captain Marvelous escape from his public execution, Navi has a 50 bounty placed on her by the Zangyack Empire.
The Gokaigers later learn from Basco Ta Jolokia that Navi, being a perpetual machine that requires no observable energy source to function, is actually the gate leading to the Greatest Treasure itself.
During the final battle against the Zangyack, Navi pilots the Free Joker to shield the Gokaigers from Zangyack fleet's attack as Marvelous and Gai takes their ride into the Free Joker, reaching and crashing the Gigant Horse.
After Emperor Akudos Gill's demise, Navi reunites with the crew and later they leave Earth for the new beginning on their journey to the homeworld of Zangyack to find the second Greatest Treasure.
Eventually, after Basco's betrayal, Aka Red gives them to Marvelous to keep safe, learning later with his crew that they will enable to obtain the Greatest Treasure once the Ranger Keys' full power is revealed.
Normally stored in a treasure chest called the , the Ranger Keys are summoned through the Gokai Buckle by a thought-based teleportation system called the Key Road.
When used with a Mobirate, the Ranger Keys fold to form keys which can allow the user to become a Gokaiger or access the powers of one of the previous 34 Sentai groups.
By unlocking the Great Power of the Legend Sentai's Ranger Keys, the Gokaigers can access forms of the previous Super Sentai teams' mecha that power up Gokaioh.
These include the magic spell as the Magirangers, which holds an enemy in place, the as the Carrangers, the as the Shinkengers, a 6-man variation of the Chōriki Dynamite Attack as the Ohrangers, the as the Timerangers, and a Jet Phoenix-style attack as the Jetmen.
In the Gokaigers' final battle, it is revealed that they can access the Super Modes of the various Super Sentai teams such as the Shinkengers' Hyper Mode and the Dekarangers' SWAT Mode.
While the Gokaigers can primarily transform into a previous Super Sentai hero of their color, the Gokaigers can use a Ranger Key of any color.
For example, when the Gokaigers transform into the Gaorangers, Gokai Green transforms into Gao Black and Gokai Pink transforms into Gao White.
If the gender of the original hero is different, the Gokaiger's transformed suit will match the style used by their gender (save for Sun Vulcan, where the female style of a suit had to be created due to the lack of female members).
For example, when Gokai Blue and Gokai Yellow transform into Magi Blue and Magi Yellow, respectively, in episodes 1 and 3, the Magi Blue suit is in the male Magiranger style and the Magi Yellow suit in the female style.
By the time they arrived on Earth, the Gokaigers already had all of the Ranger Keys pertaining to the core members of each past Super Sentai team (three for Sun Vulcan, four for Abaranger and five for each remaining team), but did not know that many teams had extra members besides the main ones.
But for reasons unknown, Gai's imagination has powerful effects on the Ranger Keys, initially allowing him to merge the Go-on Gold and Go-on Silver Keys into the singular , allowing him to transform into a hybridized version of the Go-on Wings (with his right side Go-on Gold and his left Go-on Silver), and then merging all of his Ranger Keys into the , allowing him to access Gold Mode.
Gai also at one point fused the keys of Gokai Red and Gokai Green to make a new Ranger called Gokai Christmas.
However, Basco had ten more Ranger Keys in his possession, each representing warriors who are indirect members of the previous Super Sentai teams (ex.
When these Ranger Key summons are defeated in battle against the Gokaigers, Basco has Sally retrieve them before the Gokaigers can take them back.
Then later the remaining Ranger Keys are retrieved by Gokai Silver after all of the supporting warriors that Basco summoned are all defeated by the Gokaigers using the Ohrangers' Great Power, the Ohre Bazooka, and Goujyujin's finisher before Sally could get them.
This occurs when the Goseigers steal their keys from the Gokaigers during the latter team's battle with the Zangyack Empire and when Ahim lends the Hurricanegers their Ranger Keys in episode 26.
Past warriors are also able to transfer their team's Great Power into a Ranger Key; for example, in episode 20, after Gokai Silver defeats Black Knight and reverts it into a Ranger Key, Hyuuga transfers the Gingamen's Great Power into it.
It only requires one member of a team to transfer a team's Great Power and once they transfer their power, everyone else on their team loses their powers, a strategy implemented by Ohrangers Momo Maruo and Goro Hoshino to get their powers away from Basco.
In episode 28, Gai Yuki returns to Earth as a ghost who cannot be seen by human eyes, but can still change into Black Condor and fight a squadron of Gormin Sailors - even with the Gokaigers holding his Ranger Key.
Emiri Sanjyo (née Imanaka) had made her own Ranger Key for her one-time identity as Abare Pink, which she gives to Ahim.
As Ninjaman explains in episode 45, the Three God Generals put him in a jar for ten years as punishment for going overboard while trying to rescue a little girl from rampaging zoo animals, and thus was unable to participate in the Legend War.
Datas fought along with the other giant robots to fight the first Zangyack fleet as Datas Hyper and ended up unable to fight along with the Super Sentai.
Gunmazin may have also fought as a giant, however due to the fact that he has to serve whoever holds his key (good, neutral, or evil), he may not have participated in the war at all.
Zubaan was able to survive the giant battle and went on to participate in the war in normal size, thus having his own Ranger Key.
In episode 40, the Gokaigers use the Time Yellow key to enable Goujyu Drill to travel back to the year 2010.
After the final battle against Zangyack Emperor Akudos Gill, the Gokaigers send all of the Ranger Keys, along with the Great Powers, back to their respective owners, leaving them left with their own Ranger Keys.
By unlocking the of a previous team's Ranger Keys, the Gokaigers can access special powers, often activated with Gokaioh, based on the previous Super Sentai teams' mecha or special powers that power up Gokaioh, through gaining approvals from a member of the past Super Sentai teams.
After discovering their own Great Power during their battle with Warz Gill, the Gokaigers obtain all of the remaining Great Powers except for five (Sun Vulcan, Changeman, Flashman, Maskman, and Fiveman) that are in Basco's possession.
After Zangyack Empire's fall, the Gokaigers decide to return the Great Powers inside the Ranger Keys to the respective previous teams.
The is a small golden pyramid-shaped object which the speaks through, as the Treasure was hidden in the center of the Earth which can only be accessed with Navi and the Greater Powers of all 34 previous Super Sentai.
It is revealed to grant the ability to freely change the universe in any way the user wishes, inspiring the Gokai Galleon crew to wish for a universe where the Zangyack never existed.
However, to grant a wish, the Great Powers must be sacrificed and all previous Super Sentai teams will be erased from existence once the wish is fulfilled.
Conflicted between their desires and the sacrifice of their predecessors, the Gokaigers decided that to sacrifice the dreams that the Super Sentai represent would be unfair to the world and decide to destroy the treasure, Gai pulling the trigger to do so, opting to confront the Zangyack Empire with their own strength.
The Will of the Planet is voiced by , who also narrates the show and does the voice of the Gokaigers' equipment.
is a giant robot that the Gokai Galleon becomes when it releases the Gokai Machines to form its limbs, the vessel's bridge having five ship's wheels for the Gokaigers called the .
In keeping with the pirate theme, Gokaioh's head is designed with a red dome that resembles a bandanna while its headgear is shaped like a pirate hat.
Its finisher is the where the on Gokaioh's back spins and the hatches on each limb opens up, revealing several cannonballs which are then fired out of the Gokai Hō.
In the final battle against the Zangyack Empire, Gokaioh is damaged by the sheer firepower of the Gigant Horse but was repaired in the aftermath.
is Gokai Silver's personal giant robot that combines the Great Powers of the Abaranger Keys, the Zyuranger Keys, and the Timeranger Keys.
Goujyujin is normally in its Time Jet-like mode, summoned from the Provider Base in 3000 AD to the present with the Time Fire Key and is equipped with the .
Once the Dragon Ranger Key is used, the mecha assumes the Guardian Beast Tyrannosaurus-like mode which can use its tail drill called the as a weapon and fires the from its mouth.
Once the Abare Killer Key is used to assume its AbarenOh-like robot mode, Goujyujin can use change its right arm from to either for defense or for slashing attacks.
Goujyujin's finisher is the where Goujyujin splits into its three modes before re-merging at the drill tip to land the threefold drill attack when all three Ranger Keys are used.
Zangyack's forces are a race of aliens who have conquered and destroyed untold numbers of planets across the galaxy and plan to invade Earth for their emperor Akudos Gill.
The second, current, invasion is being overseen by the emperor's son Warz Gill from his chariot-like flagship , stationed between Earth and its moon, with an armada at his command.
A month after Akudos Gill's death as well as the destruction of the majority of their military forces, which were mobilized to Earth, the Zangyack Empire begins to dissolve with its universal reign coming to an end.
However, little they knew that both Marvelous and Tsukasa had seen their plan all along and were actually pretending to be enemies until both organizations expose themselves, when they join the other Sentai and Riders to take down both.
After his first Earth invasion was destroyed by first thirty-four Super Sentai teams, Akudos sends Warz with a second invasion force.
However, though the Super Sentai teams were no longer a threat by then, Akudos sent Damarasu to oversee Warz's actions out of a lack of confidence in his son's abilities.
But after seeing the Gokaigers destroy Damarasu, he decides to halt the invasion and refocus his full attention on the pirates by calling all Zangyack forces to Earth.
Once his forces are gathered, using Insarn to weaken the Gokaigers, Akudos proceeds to send the entire fleet down to Earth with the intent of killing the pirates and executing planetary genocide.
With his only heir and the majority of his military force all dead, the remaining branches of the Zangyack Empire across the universe begin to splinter and dissolve.
Once his true colors are revealed, Akudos is enlarged by the Gigant Horse and fights Go-Buster Oh with his son before being destroyed by the forming Big Machine.
is the young commander of the Zangyack invasion forces who is Emperor Akudos Gill's son, thus attempting to earn his father's respect while showing himself as one of elite status and not the idiotic brat that he and the royal court see him to be.
This intent to prove himself gave Warz a paranoid attitude, making him frequently hysterical when his missions are failures and reacting to them by covering his tracks and lashing out at the Gormin.
Warz Gill is also known to be petty, knowing if a stack of cash is lacking any notes just by weighing with his hands, so precise to the point where he would know even if just one note is lacking.
Eventually, Warz learns of the Greatest Treasure the Gokaigers are looking for and believes it to be of little consequence, to the point of ignoring it to Damarasu's dismay.
However, after an invasion he personally oversees is called off by his followers after a stray shot from Gokai Red wounds his left arm, a furious Warz vows to kill the Gokaigers with extreme prejudice for his injury.
Eventually, when the Zangyack's strongest war machine Great Warz is given to his crew, Warz decides to make his move to prove himself capable of conquering Earth and easily defeats Goujyu Gokaioh.
he praises Marvelous as the leader of Dai Zangyack but Marvelous insults him by saying Warz Gill could have defeated the Gokaiger if he wasn't such an idiot, which dismays Warz Gill.
However, once his true colors are revealed, Warz is enlarged by the Gigant Horse and fights Go-Buster Oh with his father before he is grabbed by the forming Big Machine and crushed to death.
As the last living relative of his uncle Akudos Gill, Bacchus is bent on restoring the Zangyack Empire to its former glory, enlisting the aid of the Vaglass in search of phantom Ranger Keys and gain the Grandest Power in the Universe.
Ultimately, after drinking his sake to enlarge himself, Bacchus ends up being destroyed by Go-Buster Lioh and Gokaioh as Gao Icarus and DaiBouken.
He carries the whose blade he energizes to execute powerful attacks and has concealed the , machinegun arms, under his cape.
He is ordered to accompany Warz Gill by Akudos Gill and assist him as his second in command, questioning his decisions if he feels that he needs to.
Unlike the others, Damarasu expresses curiosity on why the Gokaigers are even on Earth and uses the Sneak Brothers to learn the pirates' intentions on Earth and also hires Basco Ta Jolokia to take out the Gokaigers.
However, though he believes crippling the Gokaigers' chances of unlocking their Ranger Keys should be a priority, his suggestion is ignored.
Despite his attempts to convince Warz not to pilot the Great Warz before Kanzen Gokaioh destroys it, Damarasu ends up recovering the prince's corpse from the wreckage.
Soon being relieved of his position and sent to the brig by Akudos Gill for failing to protect Warz as commanded, Damarasu is given a chance to redeem himself by personally executing Captain Marvelous.
Though Damarasu overpowers the remaining Gokaigers and captures Captain Marvelous, a combination of Doc's rescue attempt and Basco's treachery leaves Damarasu wounded as he battles the Gokaigers.
She supplies the Action Commanders under Warz with powerful weapons and modifications and able to fight with an energy whip from her tool and poisoned missiles build in her armors.
She rarely appears on Earth save when she falls in love with Kyousuke Jinnai and causes a series of bizarre events that end with her love redirected to Action Commander Jerashid until his defeat by Shinken Gokaioh and asked for him to be jettisoned.
She seems to be popular with the male Action Commanders as even Action Commander Satorakura Jr. asked her to marry him when his mission was complete to which she bluntly refused.
Later, after finding that she has no place in the Zangyack, Insarn decides to go after the Gokaigers in the Great Insarn to prove her worth to Akudos.
Forced to eject when her robot is destroyed, Insarn battles the Gokaigers before being hit by the Gokai Galleon Buster's Rising Strike.
However, when he committed treason against the Zangyack by freeing the imprisoned Joe and covering his escape, Sid was converted by the Zangyack scientist Zaien into his current form with his pre-cyborg memories and personality erased save for his swordsmanship.
After Barizorg's death, Sid appears to Joe in spirit, acknowledging and commending Joe for his efforts in both saving his (Sid's) soul and chasing after his own dream, which finally gives Joe closure.
After repairing Karizorg and testing her fusion on him and a cat, managing to appease the fusion's feline nature before reversing the process, Insarn fuses Karizorg with a Zugormin to form to overpower the Gokai Red-Silver fusion, only her creation to be destroyed by Gokai Red Gold Mode before taking her gun to return to normal.
Though having the upper hand at first, Dairando is mortally wounded by the Gokaigers when distracted by seeing the armada being wiped out before being destroyed by the Gokai Galleon Buster's Rising Strike.
They can transform into jet fighter configurations that link up into a hovercraft for an Action Commander to ride on, and can reconfigure their lower bodies into motorcycle forms.
Although the Gokaigers were utterly overpowered by them when first encountered, they managed to defeat them, and were able to defeat them easily in subsequent encounters.
Some Action Commanders are related to villains from the previous antagonist groups that the past 34 Sentai groups fought, while some of them are successors to the defeated villains.
He and the Space Empire Zangyack battle the Gokaigers, but his ultimate goal is to obtain the Greatest Treasure in the Universe by obtaining the 34 Great Powers.
Basco Ta Jolokia is an overconfident privateer hired by the Zangyack Empire whose code of conduct is to discard something of lesser value to gain something more valuable, a means to an end to put it simply.
As the Gokai Galleon's cook, Basco befriended Marvelous, whom he affectionately calls , as they gather the Ranger Keys before learning the truth behind Aka Red and his intentions for the Ranger Keys.
Soon after, Basco betrays his comrades to the Zangyack in order to get the Ranger Keys and the Greatest Treasure for himself.
Though he lost the Gokai Treanger Box to his former shipmate, Basco managed to get the of Super Sentai's sixth members (which include heroes such as Dragon Ranger, Abare Killer, the Go-on Wings, and Gosei Knight).
Arriving to the Earth on his ship the after being contacted by Damarasu, Basco uses his Ranger Keys in a scheme to kidnap Captain Marvelous's crew, holding them at ransom to get the remaining Ranger Keys.
But the plan backfires as Captain Marvelous and his crew are able to defeat and claim the sixth hero Ranger Keys.
While hunting down Hyuuga in the Ginga Forest, Basco reveals that he also has the Ranger Keys of the Sentai teams' supporting warriors (including Signalman, Zuuban, Rio, and Princess Shinken Red).
He fails to acquire the Great Power of the Gingaman and GoGoFive teams, later losing his remaining Ranger Keys to the Gokaigers in his attempt to get the Great Power of the Ohrangers.
In retaliation, Basco reveals his true form that soundly defeats the Gokaigers while revealing that he already has the Great Powers of the Changemen, Flashmen, and Maskmen.
He lets the defeated Gokaigers live so that they can keep collecting the remaining Great Powers, as he intends to take the powers for his own when the time comes.
This action, however, forces Basco to help Damarasu wipe out the Gokaigers so he would be spared from execution for his indirect role in Warz Gil's death.
However, having obtained the Great Powers of Sun Vulcan and the Fivemen, Basco needs the Gokaigers alive to obtain the last remaining Great Powers and the ones they already have.
But once his part in their survival is revealed, Basco literally stabs Damarasu in the back with the intent of cutting his ties with the Zangyack while leaving the weakened officer to die at the Gokaigers' hands.
Soon after, Basco feeds the Gokaigers information they need to rescue Space Sheriff Gavan as part of an attempt to lure them away from the Gokai Galleon.
Before leaving, Basco hits Sally on top of her head for being distracted with food(which Yoko gave her bananas and a cantaloupe to eat) and not assisting him.
Shortly thereafter, after watching as the Gokaigers gain the Great Power of the Kakurangers, Basco finally makes his move to take the Great Powers from them as the Gokai Galleon crew intends to recover the five stolen powers.
After losing his last Giant Lifeforms, he injures Sally on purpose so she could be taken in by the Gokaigers and steal the Ranger Keys.
Even though Sally had a change of heart and joined Captain Marvelous' side, Basco reveals the bomb he planted on the monkey, killing his former sidekick while gravely injuring Captain Marvelous.
Though he attempts to waver Captain Marvelous's conviction with the truth about Aka Red, Basco admits to being impressed that his former shipmate is still determined to the point of acknowledging him as they begin their final battle.
The epic duel ends when Gokai Red pins them both down by stepping on Basco's foot and then stabbing their feet together, so the two can land death blows on each other at point-blank range.
Realizing that killing Sally had been his own undoing, Basco collapses with a last smug smile and dissolves into a red mist.
In addition to serving as a bodyguard and servant to Basco, Sally is able to open up a hatch on her belly to produce Giant Battle Pseudo-Lifeform.
The ability itself makes Sally of actual use to Basco, protecting the monkey from Gokai Red and Gokai Silver's finishing attacks during the visit to Moroboshi High School.
After Basco betrays Damarasu during the failed execution of Captain Marvelous, the Zangyack Empire imposes a 50 bounty on Sally due to her association with the ex-privateer.
After Basco loses his last Giant Lifefoms, he arranges for Sally to steal the Gokai Treanger Box by shooting her to play on Captain Marvelous's sympathy.
But as her injuries are treated on board the Gokai Galleon, Sally is touched by the pirates' kindness and starts to doubt Basco but brings what she believes to be the intended chest to him anyway.
However, once Sally is close to Captain Marvelous, Basco reveals that he had a necklace-type bomb planted on Sally as a fail-safe and triggers it.
But Sally, in a final act of redemption, stores the explosive in her hatch to contain the blast as it destroys her instantly.
This act not only minimizes the intended injury on Captain Marvelous, but indirectly saved Marvelous' life in the latter's duel with Basco as Basco's final shot is blocked by a piece of Sally's necklace.
Other than his cutlass and the gun, Basco uses a trumpet-like device called the that enables him to not only conjure Ranger Keys in his possession to fight and run errands for him at the risk of losing them, but mainly used to forcefully rob Great Powers still dormant within any past Sentai warrior.
In addition, Basco carries a gold-colored Mobilate, which bears his personal symbol instead of that of the Gokaigers with the keyhole sealed shut.
Though the Great Powers he obtained are materialized into orbs with the teams' symbols on them, Basco infuses them into their respective Ranger Keys so he can fully use them before losing them to the Gokaigers.

William Carter Knaak (born September 23, 1984 in Austin, Texas) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist who has served as a sideman in several bands, produced his own albums as a solo artist and frontman, and is the lead guitarist in the alternative rock band Blue October.
His father played piano and fronted his own band Mad Knaak and the Revolution, and also briefly played keyboard in The 13th Floor Elevators.
Upon losing their home, Will and his father and brother moved into an apartment in a different neighborhood away from his friends.
Mourning the loss of his mother, Will isolated himself in his room and played guitar for several hours every day, learning songs by his favorite bands such as Tripping Daisy, Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Offspring.
Will’s uncle introduced him to the music of Chuck Berry’s rock ‘n’ roll and country greats such as Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, and Willie Nelson, contributing to Will’s unique blend of alternative rock and country guitar playing style.
After a performance at the Spoke, performer Guitar Lynn taught Will the blues scale on guitar and suggested he could use this knowledge to solo with blues bands on nearly any song.
As a twelve-year-old, Will soon found himself sitting in at gigs with local players such as Charlie and Will Sexton, Doug Sahm, and Paul Ray of the Cobras.
At age thirteen, Will joined the kid band RedHeaded Stepchild along with future Snarky Puppy guitarist Chris McQueen and other classmates.
Will graduated from Natural Ear Music School in Austin where his teachers included the legendary fiddler Alvin Crow and Texas Music Hall of Famer Johnny X Reed who both quickly invited him to play as sideman at their gigs, and immersed him into the deep history of the Austin blues scene in addition to adding the influences of 50s R&B and surf rock to Knaak’s playing.
After a year of playing weekly concerts with Reed’s band The Nortons, and Crow’s band The Pleasant Valley Boys, at age sixteen Will was fronting his own band, Knaak Attack, with bassist Silas Parker and drummer Vincent Ambrosone.
Producer David Dickinson caught one of their shows and offered to produce an album for the group, which they sold on CD-Rs at their shows throughout their formative years.
When Will was fifteen, the mayor of Austin, Kirk Watson, declared May 24, 2000 as Will Knaak Day, which culimated in Will headlining an outdoor concert in front of five thousand fans at Auditorium Shores.
He credits this moment as the point when he fully committed himself to pursuing a career in music and never looked back.
He played national tours with acts such as Angela Peterson, Johnny Solinger of Skid Row, and Wade Bowen and Randy Rogers.
Working with Lance Harvill as producer, the band consisted of Chris Gilbreath on rhythm guitar, Keith Long on bass, and Michael Ferguson on drums.
In December 2016 Will’s former teenage band The Knaak Attack played a reunion show and enjoyed the experience so much that they went into the studio and recorded an album, independently releasing it in May 2017.
Along with Noveskey and Blue October’s drum technician Charley Seiss, Will is also a member of the Ryan Delahoussaye-fronted side project The Meeting Place, which played their first shows in August 2019.

ACES Coders is an algorithmic programming competition in Sri Lanka organized by the Association of Computer Engineering Students (ACES) of the Department of Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Peradeniya.
ACES Coders commenced in 2011, as a training event for computer engineering students to improve their efficiency and accuracy to participate in similar online competitions such as IEEEXtreme and ACM ICPC.
With the increase in popularity it is now organized on an annual basis and today it is one of the largest coding competitions that attracts participants from the universities and higher education institutions all over the country.
The event usually lasts for 12 hours where the contestants are given a set of problems to solve using programming and problem-solving skills.
The cash prizes have grown in size with years and the 2019 event came with a 150,000 LKR total split between the top 3 teams.
The cave is unique because in addition to stone tools, there were also bone tools, remains of extinct animals, and organic matter found in the cave.
There was an initial study of the site due to the paleontological remains, but a 1995 discovery found evidence of human occupation of the cave.
Kenneth Tankersley of Kent State University led the excavation of the site, with his colleagues and the support of the National Science Foundation, beginning about 1997 and for about three years.
Rare bone spear points, a flint hide-scraper, and a fluted spear point were found in the cave, radiocarbon dated to 11,000 and 12,000 years ago.
Along with the artifacts were remains of the now-extinct Late Pleistocene epoch animals, including the giant short-faced bear, stag moose, flat-headed peccary, and the giant beaver.
Because well-preserved material from the Paleo-Indian period is unique in the eastern United States, little is know about how Paleo-Indians lived.
This site is important to understanding how early humans lived in Ohio and how that compares to other early people who crossed the Bering Strait to enter the Americas.
Kent State University archaeology professor Ken Tankersley found that people occupied the cave about 11,500 years ago, at a time where there was significant climate and environmental change.
Other Paleo-Indian sites in Ohio include Paleo Crossing Site in Medina County, Nobles Pond Site in Stark County, and the Welling Site in Coshocton County.

Orton Bradley Park is a forest park of some with its entrance close to the south shore of Lyttelton Harbour in New Zealand.
It is managed as a not-for-profit private enterprise with a board of governors appointed by local communities and a chair appointed by the Government of New Zealand.
Rev Reginald Robert Bradley, who had arrived from Kirkby Stephen in England bought the Moore estate and added further land so by 1866 he possessed some 1600 acres.
He planted a wide range of native and exotic trees to try and determine the types of trees that would thrive in the dry maritime conditions of the Banks Peninsula.
Many of the trees remain, including some specimens of Eucalyptus lining the entrance drive, some of which are reputed to be amongst the largest in New Zealand.
Bradley died in 1943 when the whole area, which at that time amounted to 1612 acres 2 roods 29 perches, was passed to a trust for the land to be used for the benefit of the people of New Zealand, but which also allowed two cousins, Alec and Roy Anderson, to retain a financial interest until their deaths.
The trust at that time consisted of a number of mayors of nearby local authorities, the curator of Christchurch Botanic Gardens, the chairman of the Automobile Association of Canterbury and the president of the Canterbury Horticultural Society.
In 1972 the trust membership was updated by a New Zealand law to reflect the changes in local authorities and the changing socio-economic status of the area, with the new chair appointed by the Governor General of New Zealand.
The park is open to the public throughout the year and it provides a wide range of walks including a substantial part of one of the ascents of Mount Herbert.
A number of listed buildings remain on the site including a flax mill and leat, barns a cafe and reputedly the oldest stone building in Canterbury.

The Client is portrayed by German film director, screenwriter, and actor Werner Herzog, who was recruited for the part by series creator and showrunner Jon Favreau.
Almost no details are provided about the Client's backstory, except is loyal to the remnant of the former Galactic Empire, which by this time has fallen from power after losing its war against the Rebel Alliance.
When the Mandalorian asks for work, Greef informs him that the Client is offering a mysterious, high-paying assignment, but will only meet with bounty hunters in person to discuss it on the planet Nevarro.
A number of Imperial stormtroopers are present for the Mandalorian's meeting with the Client, during which the Client informs the bounty hunter than the target is an unnamed individual who is 50 years old.
The Client says he would prefer the Child be delivered to him alive, but that he is willing to pay a smaller amount for proof of termination.
As a down payment, the Client gives the Mandalorian a piece of Beskar, the type of steel used to create the bounty hunter's distinctive and extremely strong body armor.
After collecting his payment, the Mandalorian asks what the Client plans to do with the Child, but the Client refuses to answer and curtly reminds the Mandalorian that the Bounty Hunters' Guild forbids such questions.
The Mandalorian later returns to rescue the Child, killing all of the stormtroopers present and successfully fleeing hte planet with the Child.
By this time, the Client had reinforced Nevarro with more stormtroopers, which had made it more difficult for the Bounty Hunters' Guild to operate there.
As a result, Greef Karga arranges for the Mandalorian to return so they can kill the Client and his troops and eliminate the Imperial presence from the planet.
The offer is a trap, and Kreef plans to ambush and kill the Mandalorian and return the Child to the Client, but Greef later has a change of heart and switches his allegiance to the Mandalorian.
They devise a new plan in which Greef and his ally Cara Dune bring the Mandalorian to the Client as if he is a prisoner, after which they would assassinate him.
They arrive for a meeting with the Client in a cantina, bringing along a transport they claim contains the sleeping Child, but is in fact empty.
Moff Gideon asks if the Client has the Child, and when the Client answers affirmatively, Moff Gideon suggests that is not the case.
The Client is obsessed with obtaining the Child, and as time passes over the series gets increasingly anxious about capturing him.
He believes the galaxy has become less peaceful and more chaotic since the fall of the Empire, and that the violence and oppression brought about by Imperial rule are justified by the order that the Empire provides.
The Client's costume includes a medal with the Imperial insignia worn around his neck, further signifying both his reverence for the Empire and his personal history with it.
Favreau and executive producer Dave Filoni shot scenes for the character both with and without the puppet, so they could replace the character with a CGI effect in post-production if the puppet did not look satisfactory.
Robert H. Phinny (1921-2000) is a non-career appointee who served as the American Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Swaziland from 1982 until 1984.
Sanford Unger, writing about Ronald Reagan’s poor choices in appointments compared Theodore C. Maino’s appointment to Phinny’s by saying that If Maino knows little about the turbulent politics of the region where he will serve, at least he is familiar with the animals.
That puts him one small step ahead of Robert H. Phinny, 61, President Reagan's unfortunate choice as ambassador to Swaziland, also in southern Africa.
At his own ever so brief confimation hearing last July 15 (attended and conducted by a single senator, Republican Nancy Kassebaum of Kansas), Phinny seemed utterly bewildered about the ancient kingdom to which he was being assigned.
He misstated administration policy on at least one important point, implying support for South Africa's controversial attempt to transfer to Swazi control 2,000 square miles of land and the black people who live on it.
Unger continues by talking about Phinny’s marriage to Sally Gerber of the Gerber baby food company and her mother’s considerable donations to the Republican Party.

Gary Wilton Gates, Jr. is a Texas businessman and a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives for House District 28, which is located in Fort Bend County, which is in the southwest Houston metro area.
Saying the district was a bellwether, Democratic Presidential candidates Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren endorsed Markowitz; and Mike Bloomberg and Julián Castro endorsed Markowitz and block walked for her, attempting to flip the district and defeat Gates.
After the election, the Republicans criticized the Democrats as overplaying their hand in the Gates special election; while the Democrats pointed to unique aspects of the campaign, specifically Gates' ability to self-fund his campaign.
Markowitz was given political donations from Forward Majority for $420,000, Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee for $170,000, and State Representative Celia Israel's Texas House Democrat Campaign Committee of $120,000.

Northern Trains (legal Name Northern Trains Limited) is a publicly owned train operating company in England which will commence operating the Northern franchise on 1 March 2020.
It will be operated by the Department for Transport as an operator of last resort, after Arriva was stripped of the previous franchise.
In May 2018 a new timetable was introduced, however rolling stock and crew shortages resulted in widespread delays and cancellations from which the operator never recovered.
In October 2019, Secretary of State for Transport, Grant Shapps, issued a request for proposals to incumbent operator Arriva and the operator of last resort (a consortium of Arup Group, Ernst & Young and SNC-Lavalin Rail & Transit), which would result in termination of the franchise with either Arriva to be awarded a short-term management contract or the operator of last resort to take over.
Northern will take over all of the rolling stock operated by its predecessor, namely Class 142, 144, 150, 153, 155, 156, 158 and 195 diesel multiple units and Class 319, 321, 322, 323, 331 and 333 electric multiple units.

They defended slavery as a benevolent, paternalistic institution with social and economic benefits, an important bulwark of civilization, and a divine institution similar or superior to the free labor in the North.
But by the 1810s a new rationale arose that began to treat slavery as a positive good while still affirming its economic vitality.
The physical condition of the American Negro is on the whole, not comparatively alone, but positively good, and he is exempt from those racking anxieties—the exacerbates of despair, to which the English manufacturer and peasant are subject to in the pursuit of their pittance.
Slavery drifted from a simple economic system of private slaveholders to a political and philosophical position that portrayed slavery as possessing national importance, providing benefits to the states, including more tax revenue.
Another serious defense of slavery came from economist Thomas Roderick Dew, professor at and then president of the College of William and Mary, who promoted the cogent aspects of slavery after the Virginia House of Burgesses almost passed legislation for the emancipation of slaves in 1832.
On Feb. 1, 1836, Congressman James Henry Hammond from South Carolina spoke on the House floor for two hours about the menace of abolitionism.
He launched an attack on anti-slavery opponents in the North, while defending the social and economic virtues of slavery in the South.
Never before has the black race of Central Africa, from the dawn of history to the present day, attained a condition so civilized and so improved, not only physically, but morally and intellectually… It came to us in a low, degraded, and savage condition, and in the course of a few generations it has grown up under the fostering care of our institutions.
The concept of slavery as a positive good came to the forefront in Calhoun’s February 6, 1837, speech on the US Senate floor.
Greek democracy along with the grandeur of the Roman republic provided Southerners with a perspective that great cultures and slavery were inseparable.
I hold that in the present state of civilization, where two races of different origin, and distinguished by color, and other physical differences, as well as intellectual, are brought together, the relation now existing in the slaveholding States between the two, is, instead of an evil, a good—a positive good.
Such an assertion was predicated on the virtues of benevolent paternalism, the glory of past civilizations, and the traditions of white supremacy.
In that arrangement, the slaveholder acquired his labor and the slave was given a standard of living far beyond what he could ever hope to achieve on his own.
However, in the case of slaves in the South, Calhoun argued that Negros were receiving special protection under a caring and paternalistic master, and therefore were more fortunate.
The pro-slavery adherents felt compelled to take a hardline stance and engaged in a vehement and growing ideological defense of slavery.
Calhoun believed that the ownership of Negros was a right and an obligation, causing the proslavery intelligentsia to position slavery within paternalistic and social well-being relationships that also required reciprocal duties from the enslaved.
Another aspect of slavery as a positive good motivated Southern white women to offer plantation slaves material goods as well as maternal care to what they considered unfit or feeble-minded Negros.
While engaging in this type of social welfare activity, they attempted to convince plantation slaves that their condition was far better than those of the white or black factory workers in the industrial North.
George Fitzhugh was a slaveholder, a prominent pro-slavery Democrat, and sociological theorist who advanced the argument for slavery as a social-welfare plantation structure that would provide blacks with better care than the free labor in the North.
In later years, Fitzhugh not only supported slavery for blacks, but like other proslavery intellectuals, came to the conclusion that it was also suitable for whiles, if considered unfit.
By the mid-nineteenth century, Democrats had become not only the most ardent defenders of slavery, but the most important institutional supporter of slavery.
Andrew Jackson, who owned throughout his life up to 300 slaves, was the first U.S. President (1829-1837) to be elected from the newly founded Democratic Party.
Bullets for Bandits is a 1942 American western film directed by Wallace W. Fox, starring Wild Bill Elliott, Tex Ritter, and Frank Mitchell.
There is the beginning of a movement among the local homesteaders to drive Katey out, so that her land can be divided.
When Hickok confronts Prince and demands he return the other gambler's money, Prince draws on Hickok, but Hickok is faster and guns down Prince.
In so doing he discerns that Prince had been shot twice, once by Hickok, and another shot which entered his back.
As they ride off, Cannonball lets Hickok know that he thinks he is Prince, and that Prince's mother needs his help in holding off a land grab by Jeter.
As they head to the Katey ranch, Beetle, the man who shot Prince in the back, arrives at Jeter's cabin, where he informs him of the demise of the Katey heir.
With what he feels his final roadblock taken care of, Jeter rides off and gets a court order appointing him as Queen's guardian.
However, when he arrives at the Katey ranch to serve the order, he is dumbfounded to find Prince (he assumes) alive and well.
They tell him that it was Queen who burned down their house, in an attempt to drive them out of the county.
As he is having dinner with the Browns, Jeter arrives and tells Tex that the man who killed Prince is posing as him at the Katey ranch.
At the ranch, Queen realizes that Hickok is not Prince, and tells him that it has been Jeter who has been terrorizing the local homesteaders, including the arson at the Brown ranch, and blaming his actions on Queen.
When Tex arrives, he asks Hickok to turn himself in, which Hickok agrees to do, just later at the Brown's ranch.
Initially he thinks it was Hickok who fired the shot, but when he sees that Hickok is free of soot, which would have been present if he had been hiding at the Brown's ranch to waylay him, he realizes that it wasn't Hickok.
Hickok and Queen manage to gain the ranchhouse, where they manage to hold off Jeter and his gang until Cannonball returns with Tex and Dakota.
Foreign electoral district of Ukraine — electoral district, which unites electoral precincts, that are situated outside the territory of Ukraine, and which comprises all polling station located inside embassies and consulates of Ukraine and inside military bases abroad, where there are Ukrainian peacekeeping contingents (Kosovo and DR Congo).
Polling station on ships under the flag of Ukraine, which are being deployed in the day of voting, and the polling station at Vernadsky Research Base in Antarctica, despite actually being outside the territory of Ukraine, are included into usual electoral districts on the territory of Ukraine.
A polling station on a ship is included in the district where its port of registry is located, and the polling station at the polar station is included in the district #223 (Kyiv, Shevchenkivskyi District) where the headquarters of the National Antarctic Scientific Center of Ukraine are located.
Among diplomatic missions of Ukraine there are not only embassies and consulates, but also missions to international organizations and honorary consulates, but there are no polling stations in them.
Apart from embassies and consulates, there is a polling station at the Branch office of the Embassy of Ukraine in Argentina, which is located in the city of Santiago, Chile.
Any citizen of Ukraine without criminal record can apply to be a member of precinct election commission in the Foreign electoral district, with exception to candidates and their representatives, governments officials, including staff of diplomatic missions.
However, in April 2012 Constitutional Court of Ukraine recognized this innovation unconstitutional on a basis that adding foreign polling stations to electoral districts in Kyiv impedes the full reflection of the will of voters who live in Kyiv, so later the Foreign electoral district was brought back to the law.
As of the day of voting in the first round of 2019 Ukrainian presidential election, there were 552,357 eligible voters (around 1.55% of all eligible voters) in the Foreign electoral district, of them 268 were on the military base in Goma, DR Congo, and 42 on military base in Novo Selo, Kosovo.
As of the day of voting of 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election, there were 102 polling stations in 72 countries of the World, including 5 in Germany, 4 in the United States, Poland and Italy, and 3 in Canada, Spain, Turkey and China.
The Consulate-general of Ukraine in Milan is the only place in the Foreign electoral district where there are two polling stations.
Also, there is an opinion that only a small portion of Ukrainian citizens abroad are included in the lists of voters in Foreign electoral district, due to quite complicated procedure of applying for consular registration and due to many Ukrainians hiding the fact of their staying abroad from Ukrainian authorities.
Also, to vote in the Foreign electoral district, a person has to visit an embassy or consulate twice: once to register and once to vote.
Electoral process on the Foreign electoral district differs from that in the electoral districts on the territory of Ukraine in many ways.
In 2018 the Central Election Commission, on the submission of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, decided to close all Ukrainian polling stations on the territory of Russia, namely in the embassy in Moscow and in consulates in Saint-Petersburg, Rostov-na-Donu, Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk.
North Caucasian and Southern federal districts of Russia were included into the electoral precinct of the Embassy of Ukraine in Georgia, the rest of European Russia into precinct of Embassy of Ukraine in Finland, Asian Russia into precinct of Embassy of Ukraine in Kazakhstan.
Pavlo Klimkin, then the Minister of foreign affairs, said that there are significant security risks, such as law enforcement, administrative and propaganda pressure on voters and election commissions members, possibility of dangerous provocation, infiltration of special services agents into election commissions, intervention of Russian authorities into elections etc.
This gave rise to Russian media claiming that 2019 Ukrainian presidential election is illegitimate, with arguments that polling stations on the territory of Russia were abolished, and also that Russian observers were denied permission to observe Ukrainian elections.
On 2019 Ukrainian presidential election in Foreign electoral district only 59,830 out of 552,357 registered voters used their right to vote, even when there are approximately 6 million Ukrainian citizens listed in state registers as being abroad.
Many Ukrainians living outside Ukraine hide their being there from the Ukrainian officials, with the biggest reasons being frequent statements by politicians about the possibility of introducing taxation for people working abroad and introducing punishment for dual citizenship, as well as distrust of the Ukrainian authorities in general.
Those citizens who do decide to vote must either apply to be included into the list of voters at a polling station abroad or apply to be included into consular list at a diplomatic establishment of Ukraine, which will also result in inclusion into the list of voters.
In both cases, they have to either send the application by mail, together with the Ukrainian passport and the original residence permit, which is deemed risky, or come to the diplomatic establishment in person.
The passport of another state as a proof of residence permit in that state is not eligible, since Ukraine does not recognize other citizenships of its citizens.
Therefore, citizens of Ukraine who also have a passport of another state can not achieve being added to the voters list, as well as being added the consular list.
Attending an embassy or a consulate in person to register for voting or to vote is a problem for many citizens as they often have to travel long distances.
For example, a Ukrainian living in Perth has to travel more than 3,000 km to the embassy in Canberra, and a plane ticket across the continent can cost $800 or more.
This problem is especially acute in countries with few polling stations and large territories or polling stations covering several major countries, such as Brazil, South Africa, Australia, China.
During the election day, huge queues appear in front of polling stations in countries where there are significant presence of Ukrainians, such as Germany, the Czech Republic, the United States, Moldova or Estonia.
Sometimes, it happens that the queue is still there when it is time for the polling station to close, so it has to continue its work for a while.
Opponents of voting over the Internet say that there will be doubts about the honesty of the votes counting, also there will be no way to make sure that the vote was given freely and personally, that is, what if a person voted under supervision of another person, or even under supervision of the special services of the host country.
Along with that, foreign voters are concerned about the lack of polling stations and offer to open them not only at embassies and consulates, but also at honorary consulates of Ukraine or elsewhere.
Officials, namely the former Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin, point out that the current Ukrainian legislation allows opening polling stations abroad only at embassies and consulates and at military bases, moreover, not all countries would allow opening polling stations outside diplomatic missions.
There are two main approaches in the World to attribute the votes of citizens abroad to a particular constituency: their votes are collected into one (all over the World) or several (each covers a certain part of foreign territory) foreign constituencies, or their votes are somehow attributed to constituencies located in the territory of their nativeland.
Another approach is to assign votes of citizens abroad to one or more constituencies (usually in the capital) in the territory of their nativeland.
This approach is used in the Netherlands, where citizens abroad are assigned to The Hague constituency (the Hague mayor is responsible for registering voters abroad); in Poland, where citizens abroad are counted into 19th constituency in Warsaw; in Belarus, where foreign votes are attributed to the 95th Kupalov district in Minsk, in which the MFA of Belarus is located; and other countries.
As for the voting itself, depending on the country, citizens either have to personally come to the polling station abroad, or they can vote remotely (by mail or online).
Some countries, including Norway and Australia, allow voters who will be abroad on election day, but who will be at home shortly beforehand, to vote in advance.
Many countries of the World, unlike Ukraine, provide voters with the opportunity to register in voters lists and to vote by mail (paper or electronic) or online.
For example, in Estonia you can vote online, and in the United States, depending on the state, voters either receive a paper ballot, fill it out, and send it back, or receive a ballot by email or fax, print it, and send it back, or vote via the Internet.
In the United Kingdom, citizens living or temporarily residing abroad are allowed to delegate someone else to vote on their behalf.
During elections to the European Parliament, a national of one EU member state residing in another EU member state may vote in the country of stay on the same terms as local citizens.
For example, an Irish citizen residing in Spain may participate in the elections as a Spanish voter and vote for a party nominated for the EP by Spain.
For example, in the parliamentary elections of 2012, Svoboda won the most votes, overtaking the Party of Regions by one third of a percent, while the Party of Regions was confidently victorious in the territory of Ukraine, gaining three times as many votes as Svoboda.
Another example is the fact that the Communist Party of Ukraine has always received fewer votes in the foreign district than in Ukraine.
In 2014, the Opposition Bloc won the overwhelming majority in electoral districts in eastern Ukraine, but won only in one electoral precinct in the Foreign electoral district.
Polling stations abroad are located in all embassies and consulates of Ukraine abroad, except embassies and consulates in Russia ⇨, embassies in the Vatican, Indonesia, Iraq, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Angola, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, consulate São Paulo, as well as the embassies in Libya and Syria, which because of ongoing military conflicts, are temporarily situated in Tunisia and Lebanon, respectively.
There are also countries that are not part of any foreign electoral precinct: Iceland, Albania, Bhutan, Laos, North Korea, Papua New Guinea, Haiti, many African countries, including Sierra Leone, Guinea-Bissau, The Gambia, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Congo, DR Congo, Chad, Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Djibouti, Eritrea and Somalia, as well as the numerous Pacific and Caribbean island states.
Currently, they are the base of Ukrainian peacekeeping forces in Kosovo and the base of the 18th Separate Helicopter Detachment in the DR Congo.
Previously, there was also a polling station at the 56th Separate Helicopter Unit of the United Nations Mission in Liberia (polling station #900113).
In addition, in the past, there was another polling station at the 18th Helicopter Detachment (polling station #900112) in Bunia in DRC, simultaneously with the station in Goma, which still exists today.
The principle of public access to official records in Scandinavia is the principle that everyone should have the right to take part in non-classified public records and the right to attend court proceedings.
The principle of public access to official documents also means that government officials and other central and local government employees are free to divulge information.
Similar laws exist in over 70 countries, whereas 19 countries' legislation applies to information held by the government as well as private bodies, whereas the others apply to government information only.
Chapter 2, section 1 of Swedish law states:In order to promote a free exchange of opinion, free and comprehensive information, and free artistic creation, everyone should have the right to take part in public documentsThe principle of public access to official records is designed to ensure that the public has a good understanding of, and can exercise civilian control over, the actions of the authorities.

The bishop of Tanis was the head of the Christian church in the ancient Egyptian city of Tanis (today Ṣān al-Ḥagar).
Although it is no longer a residential bishopric, it has been a titular bishopric in the Roman Catholic Church since the Middle Ages.
After the Arab conquest of Egypt, the Islamic geographers still considered it one of the most fertile places in Egypt with a pleasant climate.
In 1220, however, the Catholic bishop James of Vitry on the Fifth Crusade recorded that Tanis was a diocese in the metropolitan province of Damietta.
In a letter written fourteen years later in 339, Athanasius indicates that the reigning bishop was a certain Theodore, who had succeeded Elias.
At the Council of Ephesus of 449 and the Council of Chalcedon of 451, the attending bishop of Tanis was Apollonius.
At Chalcedon he was one of the thirtten Egyptian bishops (out of twenty) who presented a petition defending their orthodoxy to the emperors Marcian and Valentinian III.
A further eight bishops of the Coptic Orthodox Church are known by name down to the end of the eleventh century, according to the 18th-century historian Michel Le Quien: Mark, Isaac (fl.

The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), an anarchistic trade union in the United States and Canada, had a strong singing tradition, and many of its American Finnish communities also had songs in Finnish.
These songs had all but been forgotten, when musicologist Saijaleena Rantanen found three Finnish language IWW songbooks in the Immigration History and Research Center archive in Minneapolis and at the Lakehead University archive in Thunder Bay, Canada.
Of these three books, only one had a known copy in Finland, whereas of the two others, only individual pages had remained.
In the end, Rantanen found the sheet music of this song for the piano at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C..
The authors of many of the texts are unknown, as the authors would have been likely to have been faced with discrimination at their work places.
Many of the IWW members knew little or no English, so it was natural for the union to produce songs in the Finnish language.
The melodies of these songs were in many cases familiar to the Finns, and it was easy for them to learn the new words to them.
Some four decades earlier, in the late 1970’s, Tuovinen had collected anti-church American Finnish music, and he was planning to release a record of it, but the bankruptcy of Love Records put and end to those plans.
The next thing to happen was that Tuovinen suggested to the rap artist Paleface that they should put together a band that would play the Finnish IWW songs.
Paleface had earlier performed songs by Hiski Salomaa and Joe Hill, it did not take much persuasion to get him on the band wagon.
The third member to join the group was Ossi Peura, and now they had a core of a band that could sing harmonies.
Tuovinen and Peura arranged the songs, with their previous expertise of the music genres of the times, but the use of imagination also played a part, as it had done with the American Finns of the time.
The name Laulava unioni (‘The Singing Union’) was chosen for the band, as that is what the IWW was also called in America.
The band had to exercise some artistic freedom, as the W folks’ songs often had a great many verses, even up to 40 of them, and it is not possible to perform such songs in their entirety today.
Many of the songs are in major scale, which gives them a joyous feeling, and included are also some rowdy ditties making fun of this or that.

He was an openly faithless elector in the 2016 election when he refused to cast his vote in the Texas Electoral College for Donald Trump for President and Mike Pence for Vice-President.
A Republican elector from Texas in the 2016 United States presidential election, Suprun announced in a December 5, 2016 New York Times oped he was withholding his Electoral College votes for Donald Trump for President and Mike Pence for Vice-President.
Suprun was attacked on a number of fronts for his decision to not vote for the Trump-Pence ticket whom he was pledged.
Several Trump supporters and donors started a campaign against Suprun accusing him of plagiarism at a North Texas school, later found to be incorrect after the school issued a statement contradicting the news report, and not being a responder to the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.
This report was based on a LinkedIn account that did not include his service in multiple volunteer capacities including Dale City Volunteer Fire Department.
The department issued a statement stating Suprun was a member and there were multiple accounts of both Suprun on site during the response and Dale City responding.
Suprun did state he had voted for Senator Ted Cruz in the Texas primary in an attempt to stop Donald Trump.
Suprun was also closely tied as a Rubio supporter having attended multiple Rubio events in Texas and also being seen in New Hampshire where his son asked Senator Rubio about how to address the national debt.
He ran unsuccessfully for the Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District Board of Directors after serving as a Special Assistant to both Republican Governors George Allen and Jim Gilmore.
Democrats attempted to recruit him to run for Congress in North Texas against Pete Sessions and later Van Taylor, but he ultimately declined to file seeing party activists unwilling to support an independent centrist styled politician.
Though it was alleged there was no evidence Suprun responded to the Pentagon attack after his Electoral College decision, there are multiple sources supporting his presence as a responder.

Near the mountain there is the former Nizhny Tagil iron and steel plant established by Akinfiy Demidov in the 18th century.
One theory is that there were many foxes here, and other theory is that the mountain got its name due to smoke that the Iron and Steel Plant has been emitting from its chimneys and that looked like foxtails.
The alternative name of the mountain, namely Lisaya (Bald), is related to the fact that the mountain was forested in the past.
However, on the cast iron plate that secures one of the side of the tower you can find date of the construction: 1818.
The tower has been used as the fire lookout tower: In the event of a fire towers watchmen rang the alarm bronze bell and warned town residents by hanging out the red lights made of big leather bags.
In the mid-1830s near the watchtower an observatory was established for observing Halley's Comet (visible from Earth from 1835 to 1836).
This project included complete improvement of the entire recreation area on the Lisya mountain, the overhaul of the watchtower, and the construction of an observation deck.
On the spire you can see weather vane in the form of flying archangel Michael that was made by the Nizhny Tagil sculptor Aleksander Ivanov.
The tower was completely repainted, columns were whitewashed, and near the exit onto the roof the cast iron fence was installed on the second floor of the building and on the third floor (bell-gable).
Inside the tower there was a small museum exposition with an area of only 13 m² presenting the history of the city and the tower, including bells, high reliefs, personal things of the tower's employees from different historical periods and a model of the Nithny Tagil watchtower in the 18th century.
The city's landmark was inaugurated by the mayor of the city of Nizhny Tagil Sergey Nosov in the presence of the regional officials, the Nizhny Tagil Orthodox Bishop Innokentiy, and the citizens.

In Europe, fossil evidence shows that the Eurasian beaver lived from Western Europe to the Chinese-Mongolian border, yet by the 12th century, only about 1,200 Eurasian beavers were left in the area, and they were completely extinct in seven European countries.
These successes resulted in Eurasian beavers listed as being of least concern on the (IUCN) red list due to its fast recovery in Europe.
This is seen in an initial population growth followed by decrease in populations to settle into the amount of resources available to the beaver populations.
Deep canals are created to connect ponds and allow for easy transportation of materials, and can be a significant way of storing groundwater in dry climates.
On the other hand, beaver dams help control flooding and sediment degradation from storms, providing environmental support structures that could be costly.
Some found that damming of feeder streams to main rivers decreased the amount of cold water, and data showed an overall increase in water temperatures after dam creation.
As herbivores, beavers used shrubs and trees with trunk diameters of 3–8 cm to feed on the bark, twigs and leaves.
Selective grazing over a 9-year period led to a threefold increase in plant richness in one area studied, a surprise to many researchers.
Significant reduction in plant height in both emergent and mat habitats was a drawback, however, studies show that beavers and Aspen (a species of concern for overgrazing) can thrive in the same landscape.
Furthermore, the flooding of areas may cause over saturation to the point that some plants or trees die, however this increases coarse woody debris (CWD) found in the areas, attracting wood insects and other species.
Certain trees were also reported to have migrated to areas that were drier and a more suitable habitat, thus showing that beavers can help diversify plant species in varying areas.
Coarse woody debris (CWD) from beaver food caches, dams, lodges, and drowned trees increases deadwood insects and provide nesting holes for waterfowl.
Increase in woodland animals like elk and moose have also been observed, including interactions between moose and winter beaver food caches.
The richness and abundance of reptiles in old beaver ponds were significantly higher compared with new beaver ponds and un-impounded streams.
Ponds create nursing ground for fish, increased fish habitat and habitat complexity, however there is concern of beaver's impact on migratory fish patterns.
Sediment storage increases clear water, increases some fish species, while energy dissipation allows some fish species to thrive better and favors lentic (still-water) species.
On the other hand, there have been numerous studies of beaver dams along rivers and their effect on migrating fish, such as Atlantic salmon species.
While abandoned beaver sites allow salmon to swim upstream when water breaks through the dams, the reduced water energy can provide an easy way for salmon to swim upstream to old beaver ponds.
Total blockage of small streams is reported to deter some salmon species from using beaver streams; however, there are reports of migration to bigger streams that are not influenced by beavers.
Additionally, increased temperature regimes in ponds and streams can have adverse effects on salmon populations that are living in areas already at the top of their temperature regime, causing negative affects on the species habitat.
Holding public forums and community events to show the community how beavers will help with their environment is important and can educate people about other environmental concerns, such as decreased Aspen forests or other riparian forest issues.
Many areas around Europe that have reintroduced beavers have reported increased tourism, whether it is tours specific to seeing beavers, or the animals that the beavers have attracted such as birds or bats.
Some worries that people have about the reintroduction of beavers is their impact on agricultural areas, in which it was reported that some beaver dams did affect flooding of farm lands, decreasing crop yields.
In order to fix this, beaver experts suggest relocating beaver dams, using water sounds to trick beavers into building the dam at different places, or using pipes in dams to help control water levels.
In one instance, poles were placed 10 feet in front of a culvert, changing the place of the water flow sound, in which the beavers build the dam at the poles, allowing for runoff to go through the culvert.
Furthermore, some farmers have reported beavers burrowing in their fields, leading to damage to machinery such as tractor and damage to crops.
Additionally, if the beavers are proving to be pests, there are management practices in place to relocate the beaver population to areas in which they would be less interruptive.
In 2006, Crimean Tatars national football team was created from Crimean Tatars living on the peninsula and beyond, to participate in the tournament ELF Cup, which immediately reached the final of the cup and took second place, subsequently the team played in a number of tournaments for teams not included in FIFA (group stage Europeada-2016).
The national team representing the current Republic of Crimea for the first time can be said in light of the fact that on December 4, 2014, at a meeting of the UEFA Executive Committee, it was decided to ban Crimean clubs from taking part in competitions organized on January 1, 2015 Russian Football Union.
In response to this decision, fans of the Sevastopol club SKChF made with an initiative to hold an action aimed at supporting Ku Sevastopol and Crimean football.
The football team of the Republic of Crimea and the city of federal significance Sevastopol was created on November 18, 2016 at a meeting of the Presidium of the Crimean Football Union.

The presentation of the national team took place within the framework of the I Crimean Football Forum on December 9, 2016.
The official date for the creation of the national team of Crimea was set on March 13, 2017, since this day in Sevastopol Crimeans held their first international friendly match in the framework of the Crimean Spring tournament with the amateur football club Rostselmash (Rostov-on-Don), winning 5-0.
The main time of the match ended with a score of 3:3, and only in the penalty shootout the foreign students proved to be stronger, winning with a score of 3:2.

His only professional club was Partick Thistle, and he holds the club's all-time goalscoring record (although the total includes seven years of unofficial wartime matches).
Born in Dennistoun, Glasgow, Sharp trained to become a plumber while moving through the grades as a footballer, being signed by top division Partick Thistle as a teenager in 1939 after a short spell in Junior level with Shettleston.
By now established in the creative inside left position but also adept playing at centre forward, Sharp was an important member of the Partick Thistle team after regular competitions resumed in 1946.
In December 1947, Sharp scored a goal after seven seconds had elapsed in a match against Queen of the South, which still stands as the quickest recorded in Scottish football.
They also reached the 1953 Scottish League Cup Final but lost to East Fife, the same opponent who had defeated them narrowly in the semi-final of the 1949–50 Scottish Cup.
Thistle also lost the 1956 Scottish League Cup Final leaving their talented 1950s generation without a major honour, although by then Sharp was no longer a first team regular, and he retired aged 35 in 1957 to continue his plumbing business which he had continued on a part-time basis during his playing career.
Sharp has been mentioned as one of the most skilled players never to have been capped by the Scottish national team, the closest he came being a single appearance for the Scottish Football League XI in 1952, an unexpected but deserved 3–0 defeat to the Welsh Football League team which would have done little to improve his selection prospects.

Caves can recapitulate the environment of the deep sea-bed due to the darkness and lack of nutrient, permitting the study of deep-sea-like regions in shallow areas of water.
Carnivorous sponges, lacking the normal filter feeding apparatus, had been previously discovered during deep-sea trawls and presumed to be damaged since they did not have a known feeding mechanism.
The discovery of members of the family in shallow water meant that they could be experimentally tested, which is when Boury-Esnault and Vacelet observed feeding on small crustaceans.
Later they also reported on a member of the genus which used both carnivory and methanotrophy to survive in deep-sea expeditions of the Barbados trench.
Boury-Esnault and Vacelet also found hexactinellid (glass) sponges, another deep-sea species, in these shallow cave waters, permitting detailed study for the first time.
She led a collaboration with Oceana and the University of Victoria which found new glass sponges in the Mediterranean Sea, and in the Atlantic Ocean.
In 2012 Boury-Esnault was involved in a study capturing the number and diversity of sponges in seas all around the world.

The Huntington family in the United States, to which her father belonged, was first represented in New England by the widow Margaret Huntington, who came from England with her children (her husband having died on the voyage) in 1633, as certified by the church records of Roxbury, Massachusetts.
This family counted among its members many distinguished men: one was a signer of the Declaration of Independence; another, one of General George Washington's staff; and in later generations, some of them were well known as artists, writers, lawyers, and divines.
John Mayo, the Puritan divine, who was one of the founders of the town of Barnstable, Cape Cod, and the first pastor of the Second Church in Boston.
Nason's early days were passed in Hallowed Academy, where she distinguished herself as a student, excelling in mathematics and the languages.
In 1865, she was graduated from the collegiate course of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary (now Kents Hill School), in Kents Hill, Maine, that institution being then the only one in New England which offered a regular college course for women.
In 1875, she gave the commencement poem before the literary societies of her Alma Mater, and on March 9, 1880, she read an original poem at the dedication of the building, which was the gift of the citizens of Hallowell to its old and honored institution, the Hallowell Social Library.
Nason was a member of the Society of the Mayflower Descendants and of the Order of the Descendants of Colonial Governors.
She served as Regent of the Koussinoc Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Augusta and Vice-Regent of the Maine State Council, D. A. R.

Pragati Singh is an activist and leader towards the Indian asexual and community, featured in the BBC's list of 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world for 2019.
Singh is a medical doctor by qualification and has worked as a public health professional in the fields of maternal, child, and reproductive health in India.
As a result of this she founded the self/non funded group 'Indian Aces' on Facebook, gaining a community of 3000+ members as time passed.
In 2017 Singh launched the friend-finding service 'Platonicity', a google form initially ran through Facebook like Indian Aces, with a goal to one day become a mobile app.
It was inspired by frequent messages online by those who needed help with finding relationships, and others whose family were forcing them to get married.
Due to the rapid increase of interest towards the form, with over 300 entries from multiple countries in two days, it was shut down to create a method that can accommodate more people.
Since then she has hosted 'offline meetups' under the same name of Platonicity across Delhi, Bengaluru, and Mumbai, helping with speed dating and building communities.
In the same year, Singh's research study on asexuality was selected and presented at the World Association of Sexual Health Congress held in Prague.
As of 2019, Singh is continuing to run sexuality workshops, speed dating events, as well as group counseling sessions, raising awareness for and helping asexual communities.
Another of her future goals is to bring these workshops into medical colleges, to bring her subjects to the eyes of more doctors.
The Philippines' history with the World Bank started in 1945 when they became one of the first members of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD).
The Philippines is in the constituency entitled EDS 15, comprising Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Haiti, Panama, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago, and headed by Executive Director Fabio Kanczuk.
As of 2018, by Gross Domestic Product Purchasing Power Parity (GDP PPP), the Philippines is ranked 27th in the world with a GDP PPP of 952,967 international dollars.
In the same year, by nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the Philippines is ranked 38th in the world with a GDP of $330,910 (US dollars).
The economy relies mostly on the service sector (59.8% in 2017), with smaller percentages in industry (30.6% in 2017) and agriculture (9.6% in 2017).
This is because of less exposure to problematic international securities, lower export dependence, stable domestic consumption, large remittances from overseas Filipinos, and a quickly growing service industry.
Additionally, the country is expected to become an upper-middle country in the near future, as its per capita income of $3,660 USD is just below the minimum bound of $3,896 USD.
After becoming one of the members of the IBRD in 1945, the Philippines became a member of the International Development Association (IDA) in 1960.
Two years later, the International Finance Committee (IFC) established the Private Development Corporation of the Philippines to help spur extensive private investment.
From 2015 to 2018, the Philippines and the World Bank engaged in the Country Partnership Strategy to create better jobs, increase shared prosperity, and eradicate extreme poverty.
Roughly half of World Bank projects in the Philippines have centered around rural infrastructure, private sector infrastructure, climate change, and civic engagement.
The project helped satisfy demand for electricity on the island of Luzon by providing four 25 MW generators, a rock filled dam that stores a reservoir, a 90 meter wide spillway that handles flood water, an underground powerhouse with surge chambers, and a pressure tunnel to deal with water flow.
In 1966, the World Bank/IBRD committed $25 million for the Private Development Corporation of the Philippines Project 2, which provided loans to stimulate productive private enterprises.
The Magat River Multipurpose Project in 1978 was the most expensive project of the 1970s at $150 million and provided a dam, tunnels, and reservoir resettlement.
After continued development throughout the 20th century and into the 21st century, the Philippines suffered a setback in 2013 when Typhoon Haiyan struck.
In line with its history of attempting to reduce poverty, the Philippines most recently accepting a $300 million loan for the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, a conditional cash transfer program.
From an educational perspective, the Learning, Equity, and Accountability Program Support (LEAPS) benefitted 4.4 million students and recorded improvements in the reading and math scores of students in Grades 2 and 3.
The World Bank has been criticized by the Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt for its role in funding the regime of Ferdinand Marcos.
Structural adjustment loans given to the Philippines mostly ended up in the hands of the Marcos administration instead of being used to fund export-driven industrialization, with the corruption fueling a banking crisis that discouraged foreign private investors from investing in the Philippines.
Economic growth in 2020 and 2021 is forecasted to shrink to 6.1% and 6.2% (from 6.5% in both years), respectively, due to a slowdown in public investment and the current China–United States trade war.
In order to do so, the World Bank estimates that income per capita must triple by way of having its economy grow at an average annual rate of 6.5%.
In order to reach and maintain this level of growth, the World Bank recommends that the Philippines improves market competition via reforms in regulation, simplifies regulations for trade, and reduces labor market costs and barriers.

Nevertheless, the concept influenced the British government's strategy in dealing with Northern Irish terrorism, and continues to be used in discussions of ongoing political violence in Northern Ireland.
In a 15 December 1971 news conference, British Home Secretary Reginald Maudling commented on the escalation of violence as the Northern Ireland conflict was beginning.
It was the first time that the British government acknowledged that it did not have the power to eliminate Irish republican terrorism.
The mindset influenced the British government's strategy for dealing with Northern Irish terrorism: to reduce the violence to the point that most people were not impacted as they went about their daily lives.
Unionist politicians subsequently developed their own interpretation, which was that there was an acceptable level of Ulster loyalist terrorism to counter the IRA.
Knox writes that ultimately the governments decides what is an acceptable level of violence by choosing to ignore the ongoing paramilitary punishment attacks.
In a 2010 speech at Oxford, Hugh Orde, recently chief constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, discussed the threat of the dissident Irish republican campaign.
American political scientist Robert Goodin suggests that the idea of an acceptable risk is key to managing public risk perceptions of terrorism, which tends to be exaggerated.
According to Goodin, the perceived threat of terrorism can be more harmful than the actual level of terrorism, provided that the individual is not directly impacted by terror attacks.
Golarsa was injured and couldn't play in the entire season, while Srebotnik competed in the Fed Cup at the same week.
The method of production, from starting with raw wood to finishing applications of paint, has been passed down from generation to generation, with families continuing to use traditional techniques even in modern times.
The technique for crafting wooden toys dates back to the 19th century, when several villages along the traveling path to the religious pilgrimage site Marija Bistrica began carving wood to make trinkets and toys.
Local wood such as maple, willow, beech, and lime were used to carve into various shapes using special tools to achieve precise cuts.
After the men created the toys, the women would hand paint unique designs and motifs using bright colors of red, yellow, and blue.

In additive combinatorics, the Plünnecke-Ruzsa inequality is an inequality that bounds the size of various sumsets of a set formula_1, given that there is another set formula_2 so that formula_3 is not much larger than formula_2.
In this case, the Plünnecke-Ruzsa inequality states that sumsets formed from a set with small doubling constant must also be small.
Plünnecke graphs are a way to capture the additive structure of the sets formula_82 in a graph theoretic manner First important to defining Plünnecke graphs is the notion of a commutative graph.
A directed graph formula_19 is called semicommutative if, whenever there exist distinct formula_84 such that formula_85 and formula_86 are edges in formula_19 for each formula_88, then there also exist distinct formula_89 so that formula_90 and formula_91 are edges in formula_19 for each formula_88.
A layered graph is a (directed) graph formula_19 whose vertex set can be partitioned formula_96 so that all edges in formula_19 are from formula_98 to formula_99, for some formula_88.
The relevant example of a Plünnecke graph is the following, showing how the structure of the sets formula_101 is a case of that of a Plünnecke graph.
Then, let formula_19 be the layered graph so that each layer formula_104 is a copy of formula_105, so that formula_106, formula_107, ..., formula_108.
For example, to check that formula_19 is semicommutative, if formula_85 and formula_86 are edges in formula_19 for each formula_88, then formula_123.
It can be similarly checked that the graph formed by reversing all edges of formula_19 is also semicommutative, so formula_19 is a Plünnecke graph.
In a Plünnecke graph, the image of a set formula_130 in formula_104, written formula_132, is defined to be the set of vertices in formula_104 which can be reached by a path starting from some vertex in formula_46.
The magnification ratio between formula_137 and formula_104, denoted formula_139, is then defined as the minimum factor by which the image of a set must exceed the size of the original set.
Applying Plünnecke's theorem to the graph given in the example, at formula_141 and formula_142, yields that if formula_143, then there exists formula_144 so that formula_145.
The Rua Kēnana Pardon Act 2019 is a statute in the New Zealand Parliament that provides a pardon for the Tūhoe prophet Rua Kēnana (1869–1937).
The Act gives effect to an agreement between the Crown and Ngā Toenga o Ngā Tamariki a Iharaira me Ngā Uri o Maungapōhatu Charitable Trust signed on 9 September 2017, which was in turn based on the Waitangi Tribunal's 6 part WAI894 Te Urewera report.
Prior to serving on the County Commission, Miller served in the Florida House of Representatives from 1992 to 2000, and in the Florida Senate from 2000 to 2006, and unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2006.
Miller was born in Tampa in 1951, and briefly attended Bethune-Cookman College before dropping out to serve in the United States Air Force from 1971 to 1974.
He later attended the University of South Florida, where he served as the President of the Student Governmenet Association, as the student representative on the Florida Board of Regents, and as President of the Black Student Union.
He ultimately placed last in the Democratic primary, receiving 9% of the vote to Jim Hargrett's 34%, Warren Dawson's 31%, Bob Lester's 13%, and George Butler's 13%.
Miller was subsequently appointed to the Hillsborough City-County Planning Commission in 1987, and unsuccessfully ran for the Tampa City Council for an at-large seat in 1988.
He started a government relations firm and briefly worked for the Tampa Urban League as its Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer before he was laid off, at which point he began working as a recruiter for Time Customer Service.
In 1991, following the indictment and suspension of City Councilman Perry Harvey, the only African-American member of the Council, Miller announced that he would run to succeed him in the 5th District, a heavily black district that included most of East Tampa.
In the nonpartisan primary, he faced a number of candidates, most notably journalist Nadine Smith, pastor James D. Sykes, caseworker Pete Edwards, and businessman Roy Robinson.
The American Family Association, which was seeking to repeal the city's sexual orientation anti-discrimination ordinance, sent out fliers attacking Miller for supporting the ordinance.
Ultimately, Miller narrowly secured a spot in the runoff election, beating Sykes 21–18% for second place, while Smith placed first with 27% of the vote.
Despite Smith's lead over Miller in the initial election, he overwhelmingly defeated her in the runoff, winning 58–42%, largely because of his strong performance in the district's black precincts.
When suspended Councilman Perry Harvey was acquitted by a jury of embezzlement charges, he was statutorily entitled to resume his office.
Having quit his job as a recruiter, Miller was unemployed and, despite being a former elected official, was forced to bartend at parties to pay his bills.
In 1992, State Representative Jim Hargrett, who had represented the 63rd District in the legislature, announced that he would run for the Florida Senate rather than seek re-election in the renumbered 59th District, which contained most of the territory he had previously represented.
Miller campaigned on his support for increasing government spending on public education and healthcare, closing tax loopholes utilized by the wealthy and corporations, growth management, and campaign finance reform.
Ultimately, owing to the district's strong Democratic lean, Miller won his first term in a landslide, receiving 72% of the vote to Vildibill's 28%.
Miller was re-elected entirely unopposed in 1994 and 1996, and was selected as the Democratic Whip for the 1996–1998 session, serving under Minority Leader Buzz Ritchie.
In summer of 1998, Willie Logan, who had been selected as the Democratic caucus as its Speaker-designate in the event that it won a majority in the 1998 elections, was ousted and replaced by Anne Mackenzie.
Following an outcry from black lawmakers, Mackenzie abruptly announced that she wouldn't seek re-election, which necessitated another election for the party's leader for the 1998–2000 session.
Miller won re-election in 1998 unopposed, but was unable to serve as Speaker following the elections, in which Democrats, already in the minority, lost seven additional seats.
In 2000, State Senator Jim Hargrett was unable to run for re-election due to term limits, and Miller ran to succeed him in the 21st District, which included heavily black neighborhoods in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Bradenton.
He faced former State Education Commissioner Doug Jamerson, who had previously represented St. Petersburg in the State House, in the Democratic primary.
Miller, who raised significantly more than Jamerson and represented more of the district than Jamerson did in the House, was widely seen as the frontrunner for the seat, which Jamerson acknowledged.
On Election Day, Miller won 74% of the vote in Hillsborough County, Jamerson won 86% of the vote in Pinellas County, and the two came to a draw in Manatee County.
However, because the Hillsborough portions of the district were more sizable than the other two counties combined, Miller was able to prevail over Jamerson, 54–46%.
In the general election, Miller faced Republican nominee Rudy Bradley, a fellow State Representative who had been elected to a safely Democratic House district in St. Petersburg as a Democrat before switching parties in 1999.
In the end, Miller won his first term in the Senate in a landslide, beating Bradley 70–26%, with independent candidate Kim Coljohn winning 4% of the vote.
Following the 2000 census and the redistricting that followed, Miller was unopposed for re-election in the 18th District, which included most of the territory he had previously represented.
He served alongside House Minority Leader Chris Smith, which was the first time in state history that black lawmakers simultaneously held leadership posts in both chambers.
When Congressman Jim Davis opted to run for Governor in 2006 rather than seek re-election, Miller ran to succeed him in the 11th District, which included most of the territory he had represented in the State Senate.
He entered the race with endorsements from his female Democratic colleagues in the State Senate, while Castor won the endorsement of EMILY's List.
An early poll showed Castor leading Miller by nearly twenty points, and Castor raised more than twice what Miller did as the campaign continued.
Castor ended up defeating Miller by a wide margin, winning 54% of the vote to his 34%, with the remaining 16% going to other candidates.
In 2010, Miller made a return to elected office by challenging County Commissioner Kevin White, who represented the 3rd District, for re-election in the Democratic primary.
Miller, along with Hillsborough County Children's Board member Valerie Goddard, opted to challenge White due to his ethical issues—he had been found guilty in a civil case of sexually harassing his former aide.
Miller didn't draw attention to White's ethical troubles, instead emphasizing his own legislative accomplishments and arguing that the district's needs had gone unmet during White's tenure.
Miller ended up winning the primary by a wide margin, receiving 51% of the vote while Goddard won 29% and White placed third with 20%.
In the general election, he faced only write-in opposition and won his first term on the County Commission with 96% of the vote.
Miller, who was prevented from running for another term on the County Commission in 2020 due to term limits, initially announced that he would run to succeed Hillsborough County Clerk [[Pat Collier Frank.
Though he was endorsed by Frank in 2019, he dropped out of the race a few months later, citing his desire to spend time with his family and his severe arthritis, along with other health problems.
The mixed relay event was originally scheduled to take place on 4 December 2019 but was rescheduled to take place earlier on 2 December 2019 due to the anticipated weather caused by Typhoon Kanmuri (Tisoy).
The hexbeam consists of six arms of non-conductive materials such as fiberglass or plastic pipes, and insulated metallic wire is used to form the elements.
Steve Hunt, G3TXQ, did an exploration of this design because of conflicting accounts from users and home builders regarding antenna gain, bandwidth, and forward/reverse gain.
In his modified design, Hunt changed the dimensions and shape of the antenna elements, resulting in an antenna which retained the W-shaped driver, but with a reflector that has more of a semicircular shape.
When constructing multi-band hexbeams, the vertical spacing of each element is critical, because the elements of a multi-band hexbeam mutually influence each other and if the elements are not parallel, parameters of the antenna may change undesirably.

He was a member of the GUE/NGL parliamentary group from July 2019 to his resignation from the group in January 2020.
From 1992 to 1996 Buschmann was a member of the NPD, he was chairman of the NPD district association Harburg-Land and treasurer of the Lower Saxony chapter of the Young Nationalists.
According to his own statements, he got involved with the party through actions against the animal testing laboratory in his neighbouring village Mienenbüttel.
On behalf of the group, Mr Buschmann was a member of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development and the Committee on Petitions.
In this case, Robert Gabel, who had been second on the list of the Tierschutzpartei, would move to the European Parliament.
Delara Burkhardt is a German politician of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) who has been serving as a Member of the European Parliament since 2019.
In addition to her committee assignments, Burkhardt is part of the European Parliament Intergroup on LGBT Rights, the European Parliament Intergroup on Seas, Rivers, Islands and Coastal Areas, and of the Responsible Business Conduct Working Group.
On her first voyage she cruised as a privateer, engaged in two actions, one of which resulted in taking a merchantman that she had to abandon.
In 1948 Brownell was born in New York City to Lincoln and Jane Brownell and during his childhood he traveled between Long Island, New York and Saigon, Vietnam.
In 1970 he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor's degree in sociology and in 1978 graduated from the University of Vermont with a master's in finance.
In 1983 school commissioner Diane Gallagher was nominated by the Republican Party for Ward 6's alderman seat after one term leaving the seat open and Brownell was given the Republican nomination for the commission seat without opposition and later defeated independent Hans J. Puck with 1,188 votes to 863 votes.
In September 1989 Alderman David J. Thelander resigned from office in order for a special election to be held and after being given the Republican nomination by unanimity by the city committee Brownell easily defeated Greg Guma with 635 votes to 282 votes.
He easily won election to a term in his own right on March 6, 1990 when he easily defeated Green party candidate Bea Bookchin with 764 votes to 258 votes.
During his tenure he served on the finance committee and in November he and Paul Sunderland voted against a resolution that suspended city advertisement in The Burlington Free Press.
On January 9, 1993 he stated that the Republican city committee would either choose him or city chairman Bob Minkewicz and on January 14 announced that he would be running for the mayoral office.
On January 20 the Republican party gave him the nomination, but he was seen as the underdog due to Clavelle having raised almost twice as much money than Brownell although he was able to get the Burlington police union's endorsement, which had given its endorsement to Progressives since 1983.
On March 3 he unexpectedly defeated Clavelle with 5,410 votes to 4,686 votes and only carried two of the city's six wards.
Clavelle stated that he lost due to the controversy over his proposal to have the city pay for healthcare benefits for domestic partners of city workers which was passed.
Former Republican Mayor Robert K. Bing congratulated him on his victory while Representative Bernie Sanders, who served as mayor from 1981 to 1989, stated that he was not disappointed by Clavelle defeat.
Following his inauguration as mayor he made multiple lobbying trips to Montpelier to support a bill that would give money to Burlington and Newport to buy waterfront land.
He also decreased the city's budget by $1 million, but that would later be undone by the cost of development on recently purchased land along Lake Champlain.
He faced criticism for the multi-million dollar debt the city incurred from buying waterfront lands, was outraised by Clavelle, who was attempting a comeback, again, and lost the police union endorsement to Clavelle.
She graduated with a double AB degree in Ecology and Conservation from Vassar College, and then studied Systems Ecology under Howard T. Odum at the University of Florida, Gainesville for her MS degree.
A broadly trained ecologist, she has spent most of her career inferring water chemistry and fish ecology from careful examination of fish otoliths.
Most recently, her studies have focused on the looming problem of the deoxygenation of the oceans as a result of global climate change.
In addition to her studies of otoliths, early in her career, Limburg contributed to a now seminal study led by Robert Costanza that was one of the first to attempt to place a value on worldwide ecosystem services that still continues to be frequently invoked in discussions of conservation biology.
In a later paper lead by Limburg, she and her coauthors argued that economic decisions need to be made in light of an understanding of ecosystem dynamics, including the potential for nonlinearity.
Building upon the conceptual foundation of their earlier publications, in 2010 Limburg, Costanza, and Ida Kubiszewski edited the inaugural edition of the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences Ecological Economics Reviews.
As of December 2019, Limburg has published more than 120 peer-reviewed articles, and her work has been cited more than 32,000 times.
The mountain was known as Beaver Mountain as early as 1930 before being named for Sir James Outram, 1st Baronet, and being officially adopted October 6, 1936, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.
Mount Outram is related to the Chilliwack batholith, which intruded the region 26 to 29 million years ago after the major orogenic episodes in the region.
This is part of the Pemberton Volcanic Belt, an eroded volcanic belt that formed as a result of subduction of the Farallon Plate starting 29 million years ago.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
As fronts approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades (Orographic lift).
As a result, the west side of the North Cascades experiences higher precipitation than the east side, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall.
During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but, due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer.
The 2019–20 The Citadel Bulldogs basketball team represent The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina in the 2019–20 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.
The Bulldogs, led by fifth-year head coach Duggar Baucom, play their home games at McAlister Field House in Charleston, South Carolina, as members of the Southern Conference.
The Bulldogs finished the 2018–19 season 12–18 overall, 4–14 in SoCon play to finish in a three-way tie for eighth place.
Olive Purser (1886–1973), was one of the first women to enter Trinity College Dublin and was the first woman to be made a scholar.
Her aunt was Sarah Purser and her uncle was Louis Claude Purser while her two older sisters, Elinor and Luisa became teachers while her brother John, in 1911, was a master's student and Assistant to the Professor of Engineering in Birmingham University.
Purser was one of the first women to be admitted to Trinity College Dublin entering in the Michaelmas term of 1904.
Within 2 years of the ban on women being lifted, she had become the first woman to be made a scholar under the TCD system on 11 June 1906.
At the time she achieved this, women were still not permitted to remain in the college after 6pm in the evening, to cross the Front Square without a chaperone or to dining with the male students or staff.
Two years after she completed her degree in TCD, Purser become a temporary lecturer at the University, taking over for Edward Dowden.
His campaign, some independent observers, and some media sources question whether the mainstream media in the United States is structurally inclined to be biased against Bernie Sanders.
The allegations of bias primarily concern both his 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns, and revolve around corporate ownership of news organizations, misleading graphics, and a perceived under-coverage of his candidacies.
One book length study of the general election said that the amount of coverage of Sanders during the pre-primaries in 2015 was more or less consistent with his polling performance.
Sanders is a self-styled democratic socialist and the longest serving independent in U.S. congressional history, having avoided party affiliation throughout his political career.
In the U.S. two party system, Sanders is ideologically closer to the Democratic Party, which considers itself primarily ranging from centrist to liberal and even progressive, depending on regional political landscape.
While serving in the Congress, Sanders has caucused with the Democrats, which has made him eligible for participation in congressional committees as if he were a member of the Democratic Party.
In addition, Sanders received support from Democratic party organizations in Vermont as well as from the Vermont Progressive Party, which also endorses some Democratic candidates in the state.
Writing in 2005, Sanders identified corporate media coverage of political issues as an issue on which he felt he needed to take a position.
In it, he wrote of how, because he was being covered as a presidential contender, corporate media ran a sizeable number of stories on poverty that he suggests would otherwise not have been aired.
He also wrote that while national media did not cover his visits to poverty-stricken areas of the country, local media did.
In the chapter, he discusses the consequences of corporations like General Electric, Comcast, and Disney owning media conglomerates for media coverage of issues like taxation and trans-national trade agreements.
Thomas Patterson of the Harvard Kennedy School Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy wrote a report in June 2016 analyzing the media coverage of candidates in the 2016 presidential primaries.
A 2018 book co-written by three political scientists said that the amount of news coverage Sanders received exceeded his share in the national polls in 2015.
Bitecofer found that Trump received more media coverage than Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders combined during a time when those were the only primary candidates left in the race.
A 2019 study by Northeastern University's School of Journalism found that Sanders initially received the most positive coverage of any major candidate in the 2020 primary and later the third and then fourth most favorable of eight candidates.
John Sides also wrote in the same outlet that the volume of media coverage of Sanders had been consistent with his polling and that the press he had been getting was more favorable than Clinton's.
Pointing to online polls contradicting media pundits assessment of the October debate, Bernie Sanders supporters complained of media bias without assessing the unreliability of online polling.
Of the two news articles, one was an Associated Press wire story, and the other was about the Sanders campaign's struggle to connect with African-American primary voters in 2016 and its implications for 2020.
From March 15 – May 3, according to researcher Thomas Patterson, the Republican/Democratic primary coverage split was 64:36, and the Clinton/Sanders media coverage split was 61:39.
According to a March 2019 analysis by Northeastern University's School of Journalism, Sanders received the most positive coverage of any major candidate in the 2020 Democratic primary.
An updated analysis in April placed him third out of eight candidates; a further update for June–September 2019 found that Sanders's positive coverage ranked fourth out of eight major candidates.
In April 2019, Sanders wrote to the board of the Center for American Progress in response to a video produced by their former media outlet ThinkProgress.
In July 2019, Halper documented a number of instances in which cable news network MSNBC employed graphics that distorted polling and donor data to Sanders' detriment.
Leonardt argued this hurt Sanders and Warren — particularly in questions posed to both about the issue of a wealth tax.
The CNN-sponsored debate between Democratic candidates on January 14, 2020, was the subject of criticism over perceived bias against Sanders, especially concerning moderator Abby Phillip's handling of a he-said, she-said controversy between Sanders and fellow Senator and candidate Elizabeth Warren.
The 2019–20 UCF Knights men's basketball team represented the University of Central Florida during the 2019–20 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.
The Knights, in the program's 51st season of basketball, are led by fourth-year head coach Johnny Dawkins and played their home games at the Addition Financial Arena on the university's main campus in Orlando, Florida.
The Knights finished the 2018–19 season 24–9 overall and 13–5 in AAC play to finish in a tie for third place.
Reid worked for Redford State Savings Bank until 1921, when he started attending the University of Michigan where he would earn a Bachelor's Degree in 1924 and then a Bachelor of Laws in 1926.
Deadtectives is a 2018 comedy horror film that was directed by Tony West, who co-wrote the film's script with David Clayton Rogers.
The film had its world premiere on October 5, 2018 at the Sitges Film Festival and was released in the United States and Russia in 2019 on Shudder and Planeta Inform, respectively.
While Sam and Javier give off the impression that they truly believe and have experienced the paranormal, none of the events shown thus far in their series were actually real and were all the result of their special effects person Bob, who is also accompanying them on the trip.
Once inside the home Bob sets up various special effects, however the team soon discovers that the home is truly haunted, particularly after an angry spirit kills Javier, the only Spanish speaking member of the team.
Now dead, Javier discovers that aside from himself, the home is only haunted by four Spanish-speaking ghosts: a mother, her two children, and her tyrannical husband, who is insistent on keeping his family from moving on and is now intent on murdering the rest of the home's living inhabitants.
Javier witnesses the murder of Bob and sees him pass into a brilliant white light, something he himself had experienced when he died but chose not to walk into.
Attempts to communicate with his teammates are initially unsuccessful until one of Lloyd's inventions gives them the ability to see Javier, at which point they use various other apparatus to communicate and plan on how to beat the ghost husband.
Their attempts are initially unsuccessful until the wife chooses to finally fight back against her husband, which allows them to gain the upper hand and destroy his spirit.
Now finally free from the oppressive spirit, the mother and her children walk into a brilliant white light that has appeared for them.
Before walking into it himself Javier takes the opportunity to say goodbye to his team, but takes so long that the light fades away without him.
Now stuck in the land of the living, Javier, Sam, Kate, and Lloyd decide to take on real hauntings in other locations in order to find the truth and bring peace to suffering spirits.
The following year the movie was released to the streaming services Planeta Inform in Russia and Shudder in the United States.
5-MAPDI (also known as Indanylmethylaminopropane or IMP) is an entactogenic amphetamine derivative which is structurally related to MDMA as well as to dihydrobenzofuran derivatives such as 5-MAPDB and 6-MAPDB, and has been sold as a designer drug.
It has reportedly been sold over grey-market websites since around 2014, although the first definitive identification was not made until September 2016 by a forensic laboratory in Slovenia.

Born on 24 August 1930, Wagner earned his medical degree at the University of Copenhagen in 1958, after which he completed a doctorate at the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, and took an internship at the Trinity Lutheran Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, United States, followed by a research position at Rockefeller University.
Upon Wagner's return to Denmark, he sought further training in gynecology and obstetrics, and joined the Department of Physiology at the University of Copenhagen as a research assistant in 1964, where he was later named an associate professor.
Wagner led the ISIR as president from 1988 to 1994, and served in the same role for the ESIR in 1995.
The ISIR later changed its name to the International Society for Sexual Medicine, and the ESIR became known as the European Society for Sexual Medicine.
In additive combinatorics, the Ruzsa triangle inequality, also known as the Ruzsa difference triangle inequality to differentiate it from some of its variants, bounds the size of the difference of two sets in terms of the sizes of both their differences with a third set.
This formulation resembles the triangle inequality for a metric space; however, the Ruzsa distance does not define a metric space since formula_11 is not always zero.
The Ruzsa sum triangle inequality is a corollary of the Plünnecke-Ruzsa inequality (which is in turn proved using the ordinary Ruzsa triangle inequality).
Esther Takei Nishio (February 15, 1925 – October 1, 2019) was an American woman from California, incarcerated at the Granada War Relocation Center in Colorado during World War II.
She was the first Japanese American student to enroll in a California university after returning from camp, in 1944, when she was chosen as a test case for resettlement.
As a teenager, a senior at Venice High School, she was incarcerated with her family at Granada War Relocation Center in Granada, Colorado, from 1942 to 1944.
Her enrollment was greeted with threats and harassment from anti-Japanese nativists in the area; sympathetic students and others volunteered to walk with her on campus, for her safety.
Takei left college without graduating, to help her parents re-establish themselves in Los Angeles; in 2008 Pasadena City College presented her with an honorary degree.
There is a box of her papers, including letters, photographs, and her 1944 identification badge, at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles.
After contracting alopecia, she went to a hospital in Tokyo, where she was inspired to become a physician by two female physicians who worked there.
She also became active in the Japanese women's suffrage movement, and was a member of the Japanese Women's Suffrage League with Ichikawa Fusae.

May Arida (; 1926–2018) was a Lebanese socialite who helped found the Baalbek International Festival, for which she served as president from 1973 to 2016.
She was born May al-Khoury Saadeh () in Beirut, Lebanon in 1927, to Habib al-Khoury Saadeh () and his wife Marie Saab al-Khoury Saadeh ().
In 1955, Lebanese president Camille Chamoun initiated the founding of the Baalbeck International Festival to foster international appreciation of Lebanese arts, and Arida was tasked with organizing the music and ballet components.
Arida received a number of international honors for her patronage of the arts and international exchange, including the Gold Medal of Lebanese Merit in 1976, Knight of France's Legion of Honour in 1978, Commander of Lebanon's National Order of the Cedar in 2000, Commander of the Order of the Star of Italian Solidarity in 2005, and Commander of Spain's Order of Isabella the Catholic in 2009.
The Battle of Kowang-san (23–24 October 1951), also known as the Battle of Hill 355, was fought during the Korean War between United Nations Command (UN) forces—primarily Royal Canadian Regiment—and the Chinese People's Volunteer Army (PVA) at (Kowang mountain), it was nicknamed ”Little Gibraltar” by UN troops because of its prominent size and many defensive positions.
The 1923 Lincoln Lions football team was an American football team that represented Virginia Union University in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) during the 1923 college football season.
In their third and final year under head coach Harold D. Martin, the Lions compiled a 6–0–2 record and won the CIAA championship.
Guard Miller was the only Virginia Union player to receive first-team honors on the 1923 All-CIAA football team selected by committee of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
The Kitchener-Waterloo Granite Curling Club (branded as the KW Granite Club) is a curling club on Seagram Drive in Waterloo, Ontario.
The club was formed in 1927 as the Granite Club by the Athletic Association of Kitchener and Waterloo (AAKW), which was briefly called the Kitchener Curling Club.
The AAKW had been formed by members of the clubs located at the corners of Erb and Regina streets in Waterloo and Gaukel Street in Kitchener (previously Berlin).
In 1928, the Kitchener Tennis Club built five courts next to the club, and in 1931 the K-W Badminton Club added an addition.
On May 8, 1955 a fire caused by careless children destroyed half the building, gutting the badminton club and some of the curling facilities.
The current Waterloo Park site of the Granite Club previously housed the K-W Skating Club before it relocated to RIM Park.
The club has hosted the 1980 World Junior Curling Championships, the 1969 and 1975 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship and the 2004 M&M Meat Shops Skins Game.
The album was recorded with Jimmy Barnes' core touring band of Danny Spencer, Ben Rodgers, Clayton Doley and Jackie Barnes plus Michael Hegerty, Lachlan Doley, and family/band members Jane, Mahalia, EJ, and Elly-May Barnes.

The coalition is lead primarily by William Yakutumba, a veteran Mai-Mai commander who has been involved in rebellion against the government since 2007.
While the official announcement of the coalition came in 2017, the idea of the CNPSC had been existent since around 2013.
Yakutumba was aided by ex-FARDC General Shabani Sikatenda, who worked to arm Mai-Mai groups and convince them to join up with Yakutumba.
Yakutumba also contacted commanders north of Fizi Territory, the area which his group and most of the CNPSC are based, and is also reported to have entered into an alliance with a Batwa commander in Tanganyika Province.
The announcement of the group came on June 30, 2017, with their first attack being on the hydroelectric dam of Force Bendera, a FARDC position.
On September 27, the coalition attacked the town of Mboko, in which troops from Yakutumba's militia as well as those of René Itongwa, Réunion, and Ngarukiye.
The same day, the CNPSC marched on the city of Uvira, in which CNPSC troops and Yakutumba's naval wing took part in a battle against the FARDC.
The port and outskirts of the town were captured by the group before they were beat back by forces of MONUSCO.
This prompted the CNPSC to attempt to assassinate General Philemon Yav, the overall commander of the counteroffensive, this attack failed, and caused the FARDC to launch an all out attack against the rebels.
The FARDC counteroffensive caused significant losses towards the coalition, and forced Yakutumba's troops to temporarily relocate from his base in the Ubwari Peninsula to areas controlled by Mai-Mai Malaika.
Following the counteroffensive, the CNPSC began to lay low and wait for the pressure of the national army to die down.
CNPSC activity began again in the summer of 2018, with rebel forces attacking the Namoya mining site on June 24, making off with weapons and supplies.
In January of 2019, CNPSC commander Ebu Ela surrendered to the FARDC, but many of his troops joined Yakutumba's militia, which had relocated itself back to its original bases.
CNPSC activity had died down throughout much of the first half of 2019, but activity emerged as the coalition entered into conflict with the Ngumino and Twiganeho groups.
On October 14, the CNPSC launched an attack against the FARDC in Minembwe center, which they had captured that same day.
On October 17, the FARDC claimed to have recaptured Minembwe center from the CNPSC, and to have pushed the militia back 40 kilometers.

Amber Poon Hiu-wing (潘曉穎), a 20-year-old woman from Hong Kong, was murdered in Taipei on 17 February 2018 whilst on vacation with her boyfriend Chan Tong-kai (陳同佳), aged 19 at the time and also from Hong Kong.
Chan admitted to Hong Kong authorities that he killed his girlfriend in a hotel room in Taipei, stole her belongings, left her body in the bushes, and flew back to Hong Kong.
As the murder happened in Taiwan where they had no jurisdiction, the authorities in Hong Kong could not charge Chan with murder, and could only sentence him on money laundering charges resulting from the killing.
In February 2019, the Hong Kong government cited this case as the rationale for a proposed amendment to the ordinances regarding extradition to establish a mechanism for case-by-case transfers of fugitives, on the order of the chief executive, to any jurisdiction with which the city lacks a formal extradition treaty.
While the proposed amendment would allow Hong Kong to extradite Chan to Taiwan, concerns over the inclusion of mainland China in the amendment led to the 2019 Hong Kong protests.
According to court documents, the victim Poon Hiu-wing and the accused suspect Chan Tong-kai met in July 2017 while working part-time for the same company.
Chan arranged a trip to Taiwan for the two of them in February 2018, paying for the plane tickets and accommodation.
Poon told her mother on 8 February that she would be going to Taiwan with a friend until 17 February, but did not divulge the identity of the person accompanying her.
On 16 February 2018, the night before the couple were to fly back to Hong Kong, they went to one of Taipei's night markets and bought a pink suitcase there.
After they returned to their room in the Purple Garden Hotel in Datong District, they quarrelled over how to pack their belongings into the suitcase they just bought.
The quarrel ended with the two making up and having sex, and Poon messaged her mother at 1:21 am of 17 February through WhatsApp that she would be back in Hong Kong later that night.
Around 2 am, the two got into another argument, during which Poon revealed the baby she was carrying in her womb was conceived with a former boyfriend, and showed Chan a video of her having sex with another man.
Chan reacted with rage and smashed her head against the wall of the hotel room and started strangling her from behind with his hands.
On the morning of 17 February, Chan disposed of Poon's belongings at garbage bins around the hotel—though keeping her ATM card, her digital camera, and her iPhone—and dragged the suitcase (with the body inside) into the Taipei Metro.
After a 40-minute ride, he got off at Zhuwei station and dumped the body in the thickets off the trail along the Tamsui River.
He tossed the suitcase elsewhere and withdrew NT$20,000 from Poon's account using her password with the intention of doing more shopping in Taiwan.
Over the next two days, Chan took money from Poon's account three more times, totalling HK$19,200, to pay his credit card bills.
They also discovered a copy of Chan's departure and arrival cards for Taiwan identifying the hotel Chan and Poon stayed in.
Armed with this information, Poon's father flew to Taipei in person to file a missing person report and seek help from Purple Garden Hotel.
The hotel relayed surveillance footage to the Taipei city police, which showed both Poon and Chan entering the hotel on 16 February but only Chan leaving the next morning, dragging the pink suitcase behind him.
Under caution, Chan confessed to killing his girlfriend and revealed where he disposed of the body, upon which the Hong Kong police placed him under arrest on 13 March.
Even with Chan's confession to murder, the Hong Kong police could not prosecute him on murder or manslaughter since they did not have jurisdiction over crimes committed outside the city under the territorial principle.
The charges were later amended to four counts of money laundering, since the money he withdrew from Poon's account were proceeds of an indictable offence.
Chan pled guilty to all four counts, and he was sentenced to 29 months in prison, to be released on 23 October 2019.
The Taiwan High Prosecutors Office asked the Hong Kong government for mutual legal assistance three times in the span of six months from mid to late 2018 but received no response.
In December 2018, prosecutors in Taipei issued a warrant for Chan, but since Hong Kong and Taiwan had no mutual legal assistance treaty in place, they had to go through political channels to seek assistance from the Hong Kong government to help bring the accused to stand trial in a Taiwanese court.
Hong Kong, as a special administrative region of China, could not establish its own treaty with Taiwan since China considers Taiwan a breakaway province and does not recognise the island's government.
Hong Kong also did not have any extradition agreements with mainland China as a safeguard between the different legal systems of China and Hong Kong, a former British colony that operates on its own laws derived from English law.
This safeguard prevents Hong Kong from handing over accused persons to any part of China, which from China's (and thus Hong Kong's) point of view includes Taiwan.
Opponents of the bill urged the Hong Kong government to explore other avenues, such as establishing an extradition arrangement solely with Taiwan, and to sunset the arrangement immediately after the surrender of the suspect.
The Taiwanese government also stated it would not enter into any extradition agreement with Hong Kong that defined Taiwan as part of the People's Republic of China.
It opposed the proposed bill on grounds that Taiwanese citizens would be at greater risk of being extradited to Mainland China.
On 9 June, protesters estimated to number from hundreds of thousands to more than a million marched in the streets and called for the bill to be withdrawn and for Chief Executive Carrie Lam to step down.
Even with such a showing, the government announced that it would press forward with the second reading of the bill on 12 June.
This prompted an escalation in some protesters' methods to stall the bill on 12 June, which resulted in intense standoff between the protesters who gathered outside the Legislative Council Complex and the police, who have deployed tear gas and rubber bullets.
Subsequent protests expanded their goals to include demands for investigations on allegations of police brutality and electoral reform, spread to different districts throughout the city, and are still ongoing .
On 4 September, after 13 weeks of protests, Lam officially promised to withdraw the bill upon the resumption of the legislative session from its summer recess.
On 23 October Secretary for Security John Lee announced the government's formal withdrawal of the bill, coincidentally on the same day as Chan Tong-kai's release from prison.
The decision to withdraw the extradition bill leaves Hong Kong authorities few options to send Chan to Taiwan to stand trial.
On 18 October, days before Chan was to be released, the Hong Kong government released a statement reiterating that they have no jurisdiction over Chan's alleged crimes in Taiwan, and they have no grounds to extend his sentence, implying that Chan could walk free after his release.
On the other hand, the statement said Chan expressed willingness to surrender himself to Taiwanese authorities, and has asked the Hong Kong government to help make the proper arrangements.
Taiwan initially refused this arrangement, citing the need to have a judicial assistance agreement with Hong Kong so it can obtain key documents relating to the case.
In addition, the Taiwanese government under the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) expressed scepticism at Chan's willingness to surrender, suspecting it to be a Chinese ploy to dilute Taiwan's claim to self-rule by denying it a formal channel to negotiate with Hong Kong.
It is suspected that Taiwanese president Tsai Ing-wen, who had long supported the protesters in Hong Kong against the extradition bill, was sensitive to issues relating to sovereignty as the 2020 Taiwan presidential elections drew close.
One day before Chan's release, Taiwan reversed its position and offered to take him back, but insisted that he be escorted by Taiwanese officials sent to Hong Kong.
This solution would imply more judicial autonomy for Taipei, but the Hong Kong rejected the offer, emphasising Taiwanese officials have no law enforcement power in Hong Kong.
On the day of his release on 23 October, Chan apologised to Poon Hui-wing's family and the Hong Kong society in general, obliquely referring to the unrest that he ultimately caused in the city, and asked for forgiveness.
Reverend Canon Peter Douglas Koon had purchased tickets to accompany Chan to fly to Taiwan on the day of his release, but they were unable to board the flight due to the timing of his release.
As the case became a sensitive political issue, Reverend Koon expressed that Chan would consider delaying his surrender to Taiwan until the presidential elections are over.
Reva Potashin ( – ) was a Canadian psychologist known for her contributions to the field of sociometry (the measurement of social groups).
Potashin continued her graduate studies in psychology at the University of Toronto, earning a master's degree in 1944 and a Ph.D. in 1951.
Potashin joined the psychology faculty at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in 1952, where she would remain until her retirement in 1986.
Potashin conducted a number of studies during her graduate studies that were influential in her field of sociometry, a method for measuring and describing social groups.
Her results demonstrated that children with close friendships tended to be generally accepted by their classmates, whereas those without friends experienced less acceptance.
In the sociometric measure, children without friends tended to identify popular members of their class as their friends (who did not reciprocate their nomination).
In this study, she observed children in conversation (on a specific topic selected by the experimenter), and compared various factors in their discussions, such as the overall length of the discussion and differences between partners' participation in the discussion.

Dmytro Khorkin is the main voice (narrator) of the official events of Ukraine, announcer and narrator of the military parades for Independence Day and Victory Day on Independence Square in Kyiv in 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019.
Khorkin's voice became remarkable for official events with the participation of the country's top officials and for supporting the Ukrainian army, that's why he had received threats from pro-Russian separatists before the 2016 military parade.
He also used to work as an over-voice actor for Ukrainian TV channels – his voice is spoken by the characters of drama films, documentaries, advertising on channels: ICTV, Tonis, Channel 5, First National, TVi and others.
In 2017 he became the General Producer of Ukrainian Radio as a part of the National Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (UA:PBC).
As a result, the weekly coverage of Ukrainian Radio increased by 67% in 9 months of the first media season, and the First Channel of Ukrainian Radio had been ranked in the TOP-5 national radio stations by news listening rating, according to Internews (in previous years it was not even in TOP-10).
The Atlantic Council noticed, that the transformation of Ukrainian public radio, led by Dmitry Khorkin, is proof that a public service outlet is not doomed in Ukraine.
The F Club (later known as Fan Club) was a punk rock and post-punk club night in Leeds that ran between 1977 and 1982.
It was held at various venues across the city during its tenure, including Leeds Polytechnic, the Ace of Clubs, the Continental Club and Brannigan's.
The club was foundational in the emergence of the goth subculture and led to other high profile clubs in the scene, such as the Batcave.
It was frequented by members of many influential post-punk and gothic rock groups such as the Sisters of Mercy, Gang of Four, The March Violets, New Model Army and Southern Death Cult.
While here, the night was host to groups such as Joy Division, Siouxsie and The Banshees, the Mekons and Gang of Four.
During this period, performances were less frequent due Eddy Morrison's white power skinheads bringing performances by many non-nationalist groups to a halt.
It was here that Andrew Eldritch and Gary Marx, who would go on to be the founding lineup of The Sisters of Mercy first met.
Bands such as Soft Cell, New Model Army, The Danse Society, Skeletal Family and Southern Death Cult also formed at the club during this period.

Born in Cirebon, Tan was the eldest son of Ong Hwie Nio and Tan Tjin Kie, Majoor-titulair der Chinezen, the head administrator of the Chinese community of Cirebon (1852–1919).
From 1907 until 1909, Luitenant Tan Gin Ho was on leave from active duty, and was temporarily replaced by his brother-in-law, Luitenant Kwee Tjong In.
Supposedly the most expensive car in Java at the time, this acquisition triggered an interest in car ownership in Tan’s extended family, including their cousins, the Kwee family of Ciledug.
This, Tan’s best-known work, details the days leading to his father’s death, the funeral arrangements and ceremonies, as well as the messages of condolences and visiting dignitaries.
It is illustrated with photographs from the private family collection, showing the lavish world of the Tan family of Cirebon in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
A newspaper article from 1919 put the estimated total costs of the late Majoor’s funeral and mausoleum at 580,000 guilders – in today’s currency (2019), a multimillion-US dollar sum.
Tan’s book proved a kind of eulogy to his family’s status as the preeminent and oldest dynasty of the Cabang Atas in the Residency of Cirebon.
In 1922, Luitenant Tan Gin Ho and his brother, Tan Gin Han, filed a bankruptcy petition, and were forced to sell Loewoenggadjah – one of Java’s largest, Chinese-owned sugar mills that had been founded in 1828 by their great-grandfather, Kapitein Tan Kim Lim.
Luitenant Tan Gin Ho's first published work was a re-adaptation of a European hagiographic work on Napoleon, Emperor of the French.
For the rest of the 1930s and early 1940s, he authored, translated and readapted books on literature, history, religion and astrology.

William I. Goldman (March 27, 1856 – January 25, 1922), also known as Billy Goldman, was an American commercial photographer based in Reading, Pennsylvania.
A freemason and pillar of the community, Goldman photographed the respectable citizens of Reading but also secretly assembled a collection of photographs of the prostitutes of Sallie Shearer's brothel, which was near his studio.
His brothel photographs were apparently known only to Goldman and his subjects and, as far as is known, were not sold or published during his lifetime.
They were mounted in albums where they remained until the early 21st century when they were acquired by Robert Flynn Johnson, a historian of photography, who published them in 2018.
They have been described as offering insights into the costume and interior decoration of the period as well as the social conditions of working-class women for some of whom prostitution was seen as preferable to poorly-paid factory or shop work where they often faced demands for sex from their superiors.
He built a successful business using the reputation and training he had acquired with Hafer and made a specialism of carbonettes when they were introduced.
At the same time as photographing the respectable citizens of Reading, Goldman also secretly assembled a collection of mostly nude and semi-nude photographs of the prostitutes at Sallie Shearer's brothel on the corner of North 8th and Walnut streets in Reading, only a ten-minute walk from his studio on Penn Street.
Reading was a fast-expanding city in the late 19th century, its growth spurred by the arrival of the railway that brought workers and businessmen in and with a hierarchy of places where sex could be purchased.
Goldman's collection, which has been compared to that of E. J. Bellocq in New Orleans, was found by Robert Flynn Johnson around 2010 in the stock of a postcard dealer at a fair in Concord, California.
He initially bought only two photographs before visiting the dealer at her home in the Sierra Foothills and gradually purchasing the rest of the collection.
The dealer told him that the photographs had been bought by her late husband at a gun show in Cincinnati, Ohio, and had originally been mounted in albums from which they had been removed.
As well as many nude and semi-nude images of Shearer's employees, the collection also includes images of the women carrying out daily activities, a set of nudes of a man in athletic and action poses who is described as a customer, three images of a black woman, a pregnant woman, and a nude photograph of Goldman that may be a self-portrait.
While some of the pictures appear to have been taken at Shearer's house, others include props, sets, and costumes characteristic of a professional photographic studio such as the set of images showing a crescent moon and others in which women are shown draped like Greek goddesses or praying.
Johnson searched archives in Pennsylvania and found no evidence that the images were distributed, nor does he believe that they were used as a catalogue for male customers as the high turnover of women in an establishment like Shearer's made that impractical.
It is notable throughout how relaxed the women are in front of the camera, indicating that they were in the presence of someone they trusted, although some hide their faces.
Dennita Sewell has commented on the elaborate variety of undergarments on show such as stockings, petticoats, and corsets, the removal of which was part of a striptease performed for the camera and the customer but which, while typical of those worn by respectable middle class women of the period, were far more expensive than working class women could normally afford.
In 2018, photographs from his collection were exhibited at the Ricco/Maresca gallery in New York and subsequently at the Serge Sorokko Gallery in San Francisco.
A book about his life and collection was published by Glitterati Editions in 2018 with a text by Robert Flynn Johnson, a foreword by Dita Von Teese, a preface by gender historian professor Ruth Rosen, and an essay on costume by fashion historian and curator Dennita Sewell.
The album captures Kelly show from the forecourt of Sydney Opera House which was broadcast live across the Australia on the ABC.
The ringstone is a distinctive type of artefact and miniature sculpture made in India during the approximate period of the Mauryan Empire (c. 322–185 BCE) and the following Sunga Empire (187–78 BCE).
They are in stone, with the top side very finely carved in relief with several circular zones of decoration running around the hole in the centre.
They may have a specific religious purpose, or a more general one promoting fertility, or been used to make jewellery by pressing metal foil over the designs.
About 70 have been found, many only as fragments, with a 2014 find in Thailand the first from outside the Indian subcontinent; it is assumed this was imported from India.
The example in the Cleveland Museum of Art, where the three pairs of female figures have wide skirts, then has a cable or rope pattern border, then a zone of animals in profile, with their feet on the inside.
One suggestion is that they were matrices for moulding by beating thin sheets of metal, probably gold foil, as jewellery, which has always been important in Indian culture, but has very few survivals from ancient times.
Though not liked by some scholars, this theory may have gained some ground with the 2014 find in Thailand, which was found near fragments of thin gold foil, one of which had an animal pattern very similar to that on the ringstone.
It is agreed that the ringstones themselves are too heavy to have been worn, although this had been suggested by Ananda Coomaraswamy.
Apart from the recent Thai find, the findspots range (like Mauryan territory) across north India, from Taxila in the Punjab (now Pakistan) in the north-west to Patna, Bihar in the east; most have been found in urban centres on the Grand Trunk Road, such as these.
As they are easily portable, and have very consistent characteristics, they may all have been made in a single centre, for which Pataliputra (now Patna), the capital of the successive Mauryan and Sunga empires, is one obvious candidate.
The ringstone seems to have developed into the discstone, which is similar in shape, but with a flat top with a plain circular space in the middle, rather than an actual hole.
They are also in stone, but not quite as precisely carved, with mostly plant-based decoration that is not divided in narrow circular zones in the same way.
Several major museums outside India have examples, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art (3), Cleveland Museum of Art, British Museum (2), Berlin State Museums, Victoria and Albert Museum in London (the only example with a provenance, from Taxila), and LACMA.

An invasive test is a type of medical procedure that requires trained medical providers to use instruments that cut skin (or other connective tissue) or that are inserted into a body opening.
The major difference between invasive and non-invasive tests is that invasive tests are done by cutting or entering a body part using medical instruments, whereas non-invasive tests do not require breaking the skin or entering the body.
During this procedure, a physician measures the pressure inside the heart, evaluates arteries delivering blood to the heart, and observes how well the heart is pumping.
A catheter with a small balloon is inserted into the blocked artery and dilated to open the artery that supplies the heart muscle with blood.
The narrowed arteries are widened by inserting a catheter carrying a device such as a rotating drill or a cutter into the artery.
A coronary stent is a cylinder of wire mesh that is placed in a previously blocked artery to ensure that it stays open.
There are various types of equipment used for performing invasive procedures, with each instrument's shape and size depending on what body part needs surgery.
Some instruments are hand-held tools and are made of carbon steel, aluminum, or titanium which are used by skilled physicians to perform surgical tasks.
In order to perform an invasive test or surgery it is important that the procedure, as with any medical procedure, should be performed in a sterile environment, such as a well-equipped operating room or intensive care unit.
Early diagnosis will result in more effective treatment and will save both the patient and the hospital time and money.Careful monitoring of the patient is necessary such as checking their heart rate and blood pressure as well as their mental status before and after the procedure.

Indeed, the bilateral balanced occlusion (BBO) scheme was adopted for reconstruction of dentate patients by both the gnathology school working on the West Coast of America and the Pankey-Mann Schuyler group working on the East Coast of the United States of America observed that using a balanced occlusion in dentate patients was suboptimal, in that this was associated this with restoration failure and cheek biting.
He describes that there should be a shift from a standardized visual aesthetic and instead the appearance of the complete denture should enable patients to 'regain their own personal imperfect dental identity', disregarding any occlusal scheme.
In this systematic review, they evaluated 18 studies with the aim of establishing which of the different occlusal schemes achieved higher patient satisfaction and masticatory performance.
There was no significant difference between 'BBO and other schemes in terms of patient satisfaction and quality of life' in the remaining 13 articles.
From the above observation, 33° 'cuspal formed' teeth were introduced such that the cuspal inclination would be parallel with the condylar angle in the sagittal/horizontal plane when set-up mid-way between the condyle and incisors.
The aim of this scheme was to achieve cuspal contact in excursive movements such that this would improve the stability of the prostheses in lateral excursions and direct forces towards the alveolar ridges.
Lingualized occlusion is defined as a form of denture occlusion that articulates the maxillary lingual cusps with the mandibular occlusal surfaces in centric, working, and non-working mandibular positions.
He observed that more than half of edentulous patients at the University of Zurich had a posterior crossbite following normal physiological residual ridge resorption.
In addition, a lingualised occlusion overcame the difficulties of setting up teeth in the prosthetic laboratory according to a bilateral balanced occlusion.
In this, the mesiodistal ridge of the lower posterior teeth contacted the upper posterior teeth with flat occlusal surface in order to achieve balanced occlusion.
Dr. Max Pleasure introduced the 'Pleasure curve' where he used a reverse Curve of Monson in the premolar area therefore generating a 'lever' balance effect.
The only shortcoming of the original diagram of the Hanau's quint is that Hanau suggested that the condylar guidance can be adjusted, and this created confusion for the others working in the field.
There is a consensus that Hanau's contribution was central to evolution of the laws of articulation in order to achieve BBO.
K = Condyle guidance, I = Incisal guidance, C = Cusp height inclinations, OP = Inclination of the occlusal plane, OK = Curvature of the occlusal surfaces.
Trapozzano also stated that there is no need for compensating curves as an alteration in the cuspal angles will result in balanced occlusion.
Clearly, when considering the sagittal plane only, increasing the condylar angle and the overbite, results in increased separation of the posterior units.
In this scheme, the Lott concept is refined by recording 1) the condylar angle, the simplest method being positional records, 2) and the incisal angle, by incorporating aesthetic and phonetic requirements.
In this bilateral balanced occlusal scheme, the posterior teeth are set up at different angles in the coronal plane; 5° for the first premolar teeth, 10° for second premolar teeth, and 15° angle for both the first and second molar teeth.
In addition, the occlusal surfaces of mandibular posterior teeth are reduced in a buccal lingual dimension with the aim of improving stability of, particularly the lower prosthesis.
Regardless which of the above occlusal schemes are adopted, it is difficult to achieve bilateral balanced occlusion in the prosthetic laboratory.
Notwithstanding this, this aspiration of bilateral balanced occlusion is easier to achieve if the 'Buccal Upper Lingual Lower (BU-LL) and Mesial Upper -Distal Lower (MU-DL)' rules are adopted for adjusting cusps.
When such are taken to the extreme, the resulting occlusal schemes are essentially the lingulized occlusal scheme, or the Frush linear occlusion.
Establishing balanced occlusion bilaterally is difficult because any change in the angulation of the teeth or the curve in buccolingual direction will affect the anteroposterior angulation, hence the difficulty in establishing the balance occlusion inside the patient's mouth.
Another point worthy of note is that the angle of the condyle in medial direction which also affects the direction of force.
It is easy to establish the balanced occlusion on an articulator, but other variables come into play the moment the denture is inside the patient's mouth and this further affects the outcome of treatment.
To achieve this result, he relays a symmetrical fixed rotation on the articulator assuming that this can be used and ideal for complex anatomical situations.
Using this concept, the patient can be trained to open their mandible without movement in the condylar path, demonstrated by McCollum and this movement point located in the condyle, called hinge axis.
On the other hand, Dr Feinstein and Kurth could not find a definite hinge axis point and settled on a 2 mm area of nonmovement in the condylar region.
This included reduction of the buccal cusp in the upper teeth and the lingual cusp of lower teeth in the frontal plane.
Additionally, on the sagittal plane reductions are made on the mesial cusp for upper teeth and distal cusp of the lower teeth.
One of the key factors in establishing the balanced occlusion is the assumption that condylar guidance of the patient is constant or fixed.
Subsequently, it is difficult to state that condylar guidance is constant, and this may affect the statement that it is the only fixed factor in establishing balanced occlusion.
While, questioning this concept may be ignorant, criticizing this technique does not mean it does not work on a clinical level.
Dietary adjustment from an abrasive to soft diet has made a major difference in function, enabling the human dentition to not work as hard as it was before.
Patients and dentists both have a mutualistic, indispensable role in the construction of a fully functional denture, which include elements such as adequate retention, stability, extensions and aesthetic appearance.
Apart from the balanced occlusion schemes as described above, other approaches for obtaining functional occlusion in complete dentures have been proposed.
There are parallels between Bilateral Balanced Occlusion (BBO) and canine guided occlusion in complete dentures in that there are simultaneous contacts in centric occlusion.
Arguments for canine guided occlusion in complete dentures have been gaining momentum because of its ease of fabrication and better patient preference.
As stated above, it has been reported that fabrication of dentures using cuspid protection occlusal scheme both realizable and less time consuming compared to constructing dentures with bilateral balanced occlusion.

The department was created in April 2009 to assume the civil servant management powers from the Secretariat of State for Public Administration, as well as the e-administration responsibilities.
The head of the SEFP is the Secretary of State, a non-Cabinet member appointed by the Monarch with the advice of the Minister for Territorial Policy.
The SEFP is integrated by four major departments, the General Secretariat for Digital Administration, the Directorate-General for the Civil Service, the Directorate-General for Public Governance and the Conflicts of Interests Office; and a minor department, the Strategic Planning Office.
The SEFP was created in the government reform of April 2009, which integrated the responsibilities on civil servants in the Ministry of the Presidency, which formerly had the Ministry of Public Administrations through its Secretariat of State for Public Administration.
The SEFP was integrated by the secretary of state and the directors-general for the Civil Service, for the Promotion of Electronic Administration, and of Administrative Organization Procedures.
In October 2010, the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Public Administration is recovered and it re-assumes the powers on the civil service by assuming the Secretariat of State.
This dependency hardly lasts a year because at the end of 2011 the change of government causes the abolishment of the ministry and the secretariat of state that is integrated into the Ministry of Finance and its powers are transferred to the Secretariat of State for Public Administrations.
The 2016 government reform recovers once again the Secretariat of State for the Civil Service and it increases its powers by adding to its structure the Directorate-General for Public Governance, the Conflicts of Interests Office and the General Secretariat for Digital Administration.
The Secretary of State for the Civil Service chairs the Coordination Committee of Inspectorates-General of Services of the ministerial departments, the Open Government Forum and the Sectorial Committee on Open Government.

The vastness of the area and security disturbances against pro-independence forces in the 2010s made the Indonesian National Armed Forces express the need to form a new regional command in Manokwari, covering northern parts of West Papua.
In 2016, the Indonesian Army, through then Chief of Staff General Mulyono, decided to create a brand new military region, and on December 16, Kodam XVIII/Kasuari, named after the Cassowary bird native to the province of West Papua, was officially raised as the youngest Regional Military Command of the Army.
The construction of the Kasuari Kodam headquarters was on 24.7 hectares of land, which previously belonged to the C Rifle Company.
The land was owned by the Indonesian Army, the headquarters of the C and D Rifle Companies,and today the composite Company's barracks are now relocated to Warmare District.
The current Commander of the region is Major General TNI Joppye Onesimus Wayayangkau, assisted by his Chief of Staff, Brigadier General TNI Ferry Zein.
Today, Kodam XVII/Kasuari is organized as into a singular Military Area Command, Korem 181/Praja Vira Tama, which serves the regencies of the province.
He was one of the eight children of Brazilian military officer and politician José Moreira, who descended from Francisco Manoel da Silva.
An avid athlete, Agenor trained formally in boxing, savate, Greco-Roman wrestling and arm wrestling since his childhood, and also learned capoeira in the docks of Santos.
He had his first national exposure as a fighter in 1917, when he accepted wrestling champion João Baldi's challenge to avoid being taken down for five minutes.
Sinhozinho passed the challenge with shocking ease, lasting an impressive total of 40 minutes against the champion, though the money prize was revealed to be non-existent because the promoter did not expect the challenge to be passed.
However, his carioca school was not based on a single terrain, as Sinhozinho taught in several sport clubs and terrains borrowed from his benefactors, usually around the rich neighborhood of Ipanema beach.
Also, unlike most capoeira mestres, Sinhozinho favored combat effectivity over artistic expression, ditching entirely the art's music and rituals and mixed it liberally with other fighting styles.
He would even build his own training gear and tools to drill the art's movements, and subjected his students to heavy weight training.
Sinhozinho also cultivated the psychological aspect of self-defense, instructing his students to laugh at their aggressors before fighting in order to infuriate them and dissipate their own fear.
Aside from his mentioned challenge with João Baldi, he was reportedly unbeaten in arm wrestling, and he often showed his trainees how to lift heavy weights by doing it himself at his avanced age.
There's also an anecdote about how, upon witnessing a donkey being run over and left agonizing on Arpoador street, Moreira put the animal out of his misery with a single move.
Among the students of his method there were future judo champion Rudolf de Otero Hermanny, wrestlers Reinaldo Lima and Paulo Paiva, athletes Paulo Amaral and Paulo Azeredo, musician Antonio Carlos Jobim and future Olympic Committee president Sylvio de Magalhães Padilha.
A two-day fighting event was hosted by the Federação Metropolitana de Pugilismo in the Estádio Carioca, including also a team a catch wrestlers who had similarly challenged the regional academy.
Jurandir claimed it to be a low blow, but as witnesses and the ring doctor stated otherwise, the result was kept.
In the second on April 7, 17 years old carioca fighter Rudolf Hermanny defeated regional Fernando Rodrigues Perez out in two minutes, dominating the bout and eventually injuring Perez's arm with a kick.
It's said Bimba was so impressed that he learned some movements he saw in the fight to absorb them into his own style.
In 1953, Sinhozinho next challenged the Gracie family, inviting them to send two of their Brazilian jiu-jitsu representatives to a vale tudo charity event in the Vasco de Gama stadium on March 17.
His own carioca fighters would be again Hermanny and Cirandinha, coached by his usual judo consultant Augusto Cordeiro, while the Gracies sent Guanair Gial Gomes and Carlson Gracie.
The Gracie fighter dominated the first minutes, taking dominant position on the ground and executing ground and pound, but Hermanny escaped to his feet.
However, when Gomes removed his gi jacket and took him down again, the carioca started defending actively from his guard with punches, hammerfists and heel kicks to the back, capitalizing on his superior conditioning to wear Gomes down.
After one hour and 10 minutes, with Gomes heavily battered and a fresher Hermanny looking to finish him off on the feet, the former's cornerman Carlos Gracie called for the match to be stopped and ruled a draw.
Dominating the early moments, the stronger Cirandinha punished Carlson standing with a variety of strikes and kicks, followed by a hard hip throw and a heavy hook that almost finished Gracie.
However, Carlson managed to survive the beating, and gradually took over the fight with hit-and-run strikes over Cirandinha, who had became fatigued noticeably quickly.
The jiu-jitsu fighter pulled guard and achieved dominant position, from which he landed punches and elbow strikes and looked for an armlock.
Although Cirandinha did not concede the hold, his corner threw the towel due to his damage and sapped resistance, declaring Carlson the winner to the crowd's cheers.
In June 1953, Sinhozinho's school was challenged by Artur Emídio de Oliveira, capoerista regional from Bahia and a popular vale tudo fighter himself.
Due to the ideological clash between Emídio's traditional capoeira and Sinhozhinho's utilitary version, a bout between Emídio and usual carioca fighter Hermanny was slated to be fought on June 29 in the Palácio de Aluminio.
It was disputed under Burlamaqui's capoeira rules, only including a modification that allowed groundwork, and it featured Carlos and Hélio Gracie as spectators.
At the second, however, after punishing further Emídio with kicks, Hermanny landed his own rasteira and timed a stomp on Emídio's face while the latter was getting up, which proved decisive.
His cultural legacy was obscure, but he has been considered in modern times the mainstay of capoeira in Rio de Janeiro.
The team is composed of players who play in the Tercera División Group 5 and regional lower divisions with eligibility criteria being club (must play for a club in the territory), age (must be between 18 and 35) and amateur status (must never have signed a contract as a professional).
The team plays in the biennial UEFA Regions' Cup and they were runners-up in the overall pan-European tournament in 2013, having won the preceding Spanish qualifying tournament in 2011–12.
The Catalans retained the national stage title (where they compete against equivalent teams from each of the autonomous communities of Spain) in 2013–14, but did not progress from their intermediate group in the subsequent 2015 UEFA Regions' Cup.
The history of the dominant houses in the Shanxi banking shows that it were merchant families who originally began engaging in the monetary business, and they did this often without giving up their original trade.
The shares held by managers carried non-binding votes that were cast exclusively in management meetings, meanwhile the shares of the shareholders (or owners) carried votes which were cast only on Grand Assessment Days, these days were generally held after each fiscal cycle (this was typically 3 or 4 years) and allowed the shareholders to fire or retain managers and reallocate their shares.
The shares that were inherited through death or retirement were made into a special non-voting class of shares with an expiration date that were only paid out divided, this was done to motivate long-term thinking and to keep the heirs of shareholders outside of the decision‐making process.
An assortment of rules prevented abuses of power by branch insiders such as self-dealing, them having side interests which could become a conflict of interest, or even engaging in any other business interests.
Branch employees were also not granted any leave with the notable exception being the funerals of their parents, furthermore branch employees were forbidden from taking their family members with them or marrying while on duty.
During this time the province of Shanxi’s best and brightest men were well advised to forsake the Confucian civil service for careers in the banking sector because of this.
Shanxi became a banking centre during this era, the arising of a banking centre in a remote northern inland Chinese province is akin to the United States' financial centre being in the remote Fargo, North Dakota, rather than in Manhattan.
The Rishengchang was founded in 1823 by Li Daquan, the owner of the Xiyucheng, a dyed goods company that would purchase raw materials in the province of Sichuan and ran stores in the cites of Beijing, Shenyang, Tianjin, and others.
Lei Lutai, possibly a Tianjin (or Beijing) manager of this company, observed expensive shipments of silver often would pass each other, going in opposite directions for vast distances, this inspired Lei to see a business opportunity.
Lei suggested to his boss, Li Daquan, around the year 1823 that this presented an opportunity to replacie expensive private security, wagons, and pack animals with a clearing house for the interregional transfer of money, the settlement of accounts, deposit accounts, loans, and currency exchange services.
The Rishengchang was capitalised with 300,000 taels of silver (or about 450,000 dollars) by Li Daquan, it is possible that Lei Lutai had added 20,000 taels of silver.
After a few years Mao Hongsui ran into some disagreements with Lei Lutai over business strategy and within a couple of years Mao had organised 5 more banks.
These bank drafts could be obtained if a merchant would deposit money in cash at a local branch office, the draft was then ripped in half and one half was given to the seller as an IOU and the other to the branch of the bank of the seller.
After the buyer would confirm the receipt of the goods, the seller could then claim the missing half of the bank draft that was issued to join at his branch office and effect the transfer of monetary funds into his account there.
To deal with the transfer of large amounts of cash from one branch to another, the company introduced drafts, cashable in the company's many branches around China.
Although this new method was originally designed for business transactions within the Xiyuecheng Company, it became so popular that in 1823 the owner gave up the dye business altogether and reorganised the company as a special remittance firm, Rishengchang Piaohao.
Because the descendants of merchants (a class which includes bankers) were not allowed to take any civil service examinations for 3 generations the majority of the Chinese magistrates came from other classes of the four occupations, mostly from the land owning classes.
Because the merchant class couldn't rely on the magistrates for fair justice they had to create their own system of enforcing contracts, this system included a general manager chosen by the shareholders, these general managers usually had a team of vice presidents that were tasked to supervise the clerks and other bank employees.
The society of the Qing dynasty was one where the general population tended to have a mistrust of outsiders, usually people only trusted their direct family members or people with whom they had established ties that were longstanding.
Despite these societal factors, Chinese merchant guilds, which were monopolistic in nature, had found a way to circumvent these issues by vouching for traveling merchants that were paying members.
The decision to completely limit the fulfillment of staff only with people from the same region or whose ancestral roots lay in the same region proved to be a rather powerful governance mechanism.
The dividend paid out to the managers was allocated to their blood relatives back in the Shanxi province, which meant that social and economic status of their families depended on their performance, and any malfeasance from these managers would endanger not just their families’ economic and social status back home, but also their freedom and lives.
A potential employee with clean background would present a personal guarantee letter from an eminent personage in his native county for the bank.
From the 17th century onwards China experienced a growing business of interregional trade which required a more elaborated system of credit, exchange, and remittance than that which was already in place.
Paramount to this development were local banks in the districts of Pingyao, Qixian, and Taigu all in the province of Shanxi.
This was because in traditional culture outsiders were frowned upon and many people often only preferred to deal with only their direct family or people from the same area as them.
These classes had the ability to confiscate the wealth of the general population, including the Chinese merchants, with impunity, furthermore because the nobles and government bureaucrats could manipulate the Chinese legal system into their favour there were no chances for the wronged parties to redress these confiscations.
The Treaty of Nanking stipulated that the government of the Qing dynasty had to pay the United Kingdom a sum of 21.000.000 Spanish dollars in war indemnities.
To raise this amount of money, the government of the Qing dynasty dynasty had issued an order to each Chinese provincial government to transfer a levy of silver to British agents that were stationed in the assigned treaty ports and enclaves.
However, this proved to be a predicament for inland provincial governments as they were unable to transport huge amounts of silver securely from the Chinese interior to the faraway treaty ports.
Lei instructed branch managers of the Rishengchang that were situated in the inland provinces of China to offer their Chinese provincial governments bank drafts to transfer the silver to the designated treaty port cities before the deadline with the British was met.
In preparation for this move, Lei had ordered the move of large amounts od silver to the port branch offices of the Rishengchang, so when the provincial government representatives would arrive, sufficient quantities of silver would await them there.
This plan had proved to work flawlessly for both the Chinese provincial governments and the Rishengchang and they had averted an impending disaster.
The Taiping Rebellion had a major impact on the ability of the government of the Qing dynasty to collect taxes, the loss of many of its southern provinces to rebel forces deprived the Qing of millions of taxpayers and it also cut Beijing off from remaining provinces and their resources in Southwest China.
At the height of the Taiping rebellion the business of transacting funds and revenue became even more dangerous for the Chinese government.
It was customary for example for the Shanghai banks to make advances to junk owners who were engaged in the trade of carrying tribute rice to the north, holding their vessels as collateral.
These junks after having unloaded their rice in the port, would return with shipments of oil, peas, bean cakes, and other products for trade.
Following the foreign victory during the Second Opium War, the Qing retaliated by torturing and killing British envoys, this act added an additional 8.000.000 taels of silver to the war debt of the Qing dynasty to the Western powers and the Qing was forced to legalise both Christianity and opium as well as opening more of its ports to foreign traders where extrateritorial rights were granted to foreign enclaves.
They also issued shares themselves which did, as that of the Dadetong Bank (大德通票號), which yielded enourmous profits for the banks.
The shares were valued at 850 taels of silver in the year 1889, later their shares stood at 3,150 taels of silver in the year 1896, 4,024 taels in silver in the year 1990, and at 17,000 taels of silver in the year 1908.
Following the Xinhai revolution rule of law collapsed causing many provinces to declare their secession from the new republic making China merely into a geographic region rather than a political ones.
Foreign banking and financial companies that were operating in treaty ports and foreign enclaves benefited from relative rule of law and legal innovations of the Western world such as limited liability.
Rival commercial Chinese banks gained similar flexibility under a 1901 German Civil Code, and other Chinese commercial banks also took root in the foreign enclaves despite legal discrimination that they were facing there.
In reality, the political ambiguity of the private Chinese financial sector were likely an obstacle in the eyes of those who wished to transform the Mainland Chinese economy into a state-controlled planned economy.
But during the initial phase of the People's Republic of China the continued existence of the independent private banks was tolerated.
During the year 1950 the private banks of Hankou steadily experienced a recovery, the recovery of the private financial sector was crucial for the economy of Hankou following the devastating hyperinflation that affected Mainland China during the aftermath of World War II and the retreat of the Nationalist Chinese government to Taiwan.
The local government of Wuhan attempted to negotiate mandatory deposit reserve ratios for banks, valorise credit markets, and release tighter remittance restrictions on all banks to stimulate the ravaged economy.
By the 19th century paper money had been long abandoned in China and various types of commodity currencies such as silver sycees denominated in taels had become the standard currency for large transactions.
The tael had regionally varying weights dependent on which city it was being traded in, for example the Guangzhou tael was 37.5 grams of silver, the Shanghai tael was 33.9 grams of silver, and the Customs tael was 37.8 grams of silver.
The conversion rates between common tael types were well‐known among Chinese traders and merchants, and local units would take precedent unless a particular weight or purity was specified.
The capital shareholders and expertise shareholders would negotiate a fraction of earnings that would have to be retained to be placed into this fund.
The third of these funds was used to pay divided to both dead and retired shareholders as well their heirs, these payments always had fixed terms and were paid until the shares expired.
According to some reports, the first general manager of the Rishengchang had nominated a candidate other than his own son as the next general manager, as this system disincentived nepotism in favour of a meritocracy.

The Pietermaritzburg Reformed Church was a congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa (NGK) in Pietermaritzburg, the capital of KwaZulu-Natal, but after the sale of the congregation’s downtown building, its center shifted to what is now Howick.
It was the first congregation founded by Voortrekkers after they left Cape Colony and the 25th oldest congregation in the NGK.
Erasmus Smit, a missionary with the London Missionary Society, who was rejected by many worshipers due to his not having been ordained as such.
On the 10th, the first child was born to Afrikaners in the territory of Dingane kaSenzangakhona, the same day the council’s first meeting was held in the presence of the Governor as commissioner.
On December 9, the Day of the Vow, Andries Pretorius and his league set out to war evoking the biblical tale of Gideon, defeating Dingane at the Battle of Blood River on the 16th.
On May 13, 1839, Pretorius, now the Secretary of the Volksraad, wrote to the pastors of the Cape Town Reformed Church (NGK), Stellenbosch Reformed Church (NGK), Paarl Reformed Church (NGK), and the Wynberg Reformed Church that the congregation wanted to build a proper church building and needed a pastor.
On April 28, 1840, construction began on what would later be called the Covenant Church or Voortrekker Church, home to what would also be known as the Voortrekker Congregation.
Lindley repeatedly urged that a pastor from Holland be recruited so that he could return to the mission, and he seized his chance to resign when Rev.
Hendrik Emmanuel Faure, arrived at the end of 1852, and within two years the council decided to build a new church.
After failed attempts to purchase a portion of the market square, the congregation decided to build alongside the plot where the Covenant Church lay.
The first church building in the Voortrekker lands was built in Pietermaritzburg as a result of Sarel Cilliers’s victory at Blood River on December 16, 1838.
However, after the British annexation of Natal Colony and the subsequent exodus of Voortrekkers from there, the conversion plan never came to fruition.
The church council wanted to build it on 33 Longmarket Street (now Langalibalele St), which the Volksraad had originally set aside for the Covenant Church.
At the time, Pietermaritzburg was nothing but a set of small hartebeest stables, one of which was used for the purpose.
Several English-speaking residents of Pietermaritzburg donated a pound each, but Burger, Maritz, and Pretorius’s May 13 letter also suggested that the Committee for Emigrants in Cape Colony could spare some of its funds.
Construction began on 34 Longmarket Street at the end of April 1840 and progressed in fits and starts over the course of the year.
The congregation was still quite poor, and the building committee had to request a loan from the Volksraad for the church fund on September 29.
The Covenant Church, intended only as a temporary placeholder, remained in use until the second Voortrekker Church was completed in April 1861.
After the new church opened, the Covenant Church first became a school, but it was sold by the congregation in 1874.
Advisor Ernest George Jansen, later Governor-General of South Africa, saw it become a pharmacy and part of a smithy as a lawyer in the city in the early 20th century; on his way to church each Sunday, he became concerned as to the historic building’s state of neglect.
George Murray Pellissier (brother of Mrs. Mabel Jensen, Ernest’s wife), joined Jansen in advocating for the building’s preservation, founding a committee with Jansen as secretary in 1908.
On December 16, 1912, a Voortrekker Museum was opened on the property, which would later be acquired by the city and remains active today under an expanded focus as the Msunduzi Museum.
Until his death, Jansen was honorary chairman of the Museum Council, which timed its July meetings to match his winter stay in Natal so he could attend.
The driving force behind this was Mrs. Jansen, who unveiled Coert Steynberg’s statue in Pietermaritzburg on April 6, 1962 having paid off R10,000 of the interest.
The cornerstone of the current building was laid on April 6, 1961, after a long struggle to secure plot 33, next to the Covenant Church yard.
The skylight shining through the roof wall and the sharp spire symbolize the divine source from which the Voortrekkers believed their power came.
The congregation sold the Thanks Church to the Museum Council in 2008, when the services moved around 20 km from downtown to Merrivale in Howick, the center of a congregation acquired by the Pietermaritzburg one in 1999.
The Afrikaner community in Pietermaritzburg drastically shrunk since around 1990, to the point that the two Afrikaans language high schools (Voortrekker High School and Gerrit Maritz) merged in January 1992, Gerrit Maritz’s campus being incorporated into the Durban University of Technology and Voortrekker gradually working in English instruction starting in 2009.
By 2013, Voortrekker was fully bilingual, mandating 70 students a grade in two English classes, 40 white and 10 each Cape Coloured, Indian South African, and black.
Merrivale and the Napierville Reformed Church were absorbed by the Pietermaritzburg West Reformed Church, which in turn joined the Pietermaritzburg North Reformed Church.
Pietermaritzburg South and Hayfields merged on March 1, 2012, bringing the numbers from a peak of seven to three local congregations.
As early as the 2001 census, Pietermaritzburg was found to have only 4.2% of its population of 223,519 speaking Afrikaans, though the population was 27.3% white or Cape Coloured.
Pietermaritzburg’s confirmed membership in 2015 stood at 1,858 (2,251 in 2012), 24 fewer than that of Vredendal (1,882 from 1,909 in 2012) and 93 fewer than Robertson (1,951 from 1,952), but 531 fewer than Vredenburg (2,389 from 2,408), 210 fewer than Hartenbos (2,068 from 2,308), and 1,755 fewer than East London (3,613 from 4,900).

On 13 July 1680, Campbell of Glenorchy took a force of 800 men north to evict Sinclair of Keiss, who was waiting for him with 500 men near Wick.
Inflamed with drink, the Sinclairs attacked the force of Campbells and were routed in what is known as the Battle of Altimarlach.
Legend has it that so many Sinclairs were killed that the Campbells were able to cross the river without getting their feet wet.
However, in 1681 the Privy Council of Scotland made a proclamation in favor of Sinclair of Keiss who became the 7th Earl of Caithness and Campbell of Glenorchy was created Earl of Breadalbane and Holland.
George Sinclair of Keiss, 7th Earl of Caithness died in 1698 without issue and this brought an end to the male heirs of the 5th Earl.
The Earldom of Caithness then devolved upon the male heirs of James Sinclair, 1st of Murkle, who himself was a son of John Sinclair, Master of Caithness (d. 1576), who in turn was a son of George Sinclair, 4th Earl of Caithness (d. 1582).
The house was built circa 1873 by Christian F. Weinrich, a local merchant who lived in the house with his family until his death in 1913.
The house's Folk Victorian features include its gable front plan with a side gable and the stickwork on the front-facing gable.
While many of its Gothic Revival elements are also Folk Victorian elements, such as its steep roof and decorative wooden porch, its intersecting gables are a characteristic feature of the style.

A side job, also informally called a side hustle or side gig, is an additional job that a person takes in addition to their primary job in order to supplement their income.
Side jobs may be done out of necessity, when one's income from their main job is insufficient to support them, or simply out of a desire to earn more income.
A side job can be a full-time job, part-time job, or freelance job, and a person can hold more than one side job.
In the modern day, side jobs have been gaining in popularity in America due to stagnating wage growth that has not kept up with the rising cost of living, with nearly a third of those with side jobs requiring them to stay afloat as of 2019.
In the United Kingdom, 60 percent of students and graduates reported having a side job, and 43 percent required it to pay their rent.
However, they are also common as a means to pay off student loans, as well as to leverage one's creativity in ways that would normally not be feasible in the typical workplace.
Dioscorides wrote that Greeks and Romans prepared krimnon, made from ground zea and wheat berries, to make poltos, a porridge-like drink.
In Greece, there is an urban legend that zea bread was banned in the 1930s, so that the wheat market would not suffer.
However, the reality may have been that wheat was easier to produce, so there was little incentive to be a zea farmer.
Luigi Valentino Brugnatelli (also Luigi Gaspare Brugnatelli or Luigi Vincenzo Brugnatelli) (14 February 1761 in Pavia – 24 October 1818 in Pavia) was an Italian chemist and inventor who discovered the process for electroplating in 1805.
Born in Pavia, he attended the Pharmacy School created by Count Karl Joseph von Firmian at the University of Pavia where he was a pupil of Giovanni Antonio Scopoli who urged him to practice the medical profession, which he did without neglecting his interests in chemistry.
In 1798 Brugnatelli discovered the silver salt fulminic acid when he found that if silver was dissolved in nitric acid and the solution added to spirits of wine, a white, highly explosive powder was obtained.
Decades later in 1860 this silver fulminate was used by the confectioner Tom Smith to give the 'snap' to his new novelty - the Christmas cracker.
A personal friend of Alessandro Volta, Brugnatelli accompanied him to Paris in 1801 to illustrate the invention of the voltaic pile.
In 1802 Brugnatelli successfully carried out the first gilding electroplating experiments with the coating of carbon electrodes by a metallic film, finally refining the process in 1805 for which he used his colleague Volta's invention of five years earlier, the voltaic pile, to facilitate the first electrodeposition.
Brugnatelli's inventions were suppressed by the French Academy of Sciences and did not become used in general industry for the following thirty years.
By 1839, scientists in Britain and Russia had independently devised metal-deposition processes similar to Brugnatelli's for the copper electroplating of printing press plates.
He was the first to adopt and make known in Italy the new theories and the new nomenclature introduced in chemistry by Antoine Lavoisier.
In 1818, the year of his death, Brugnatelli was the first to prepare the compound alloxan, discovered by Justus von Liebig and Friedrich Wöhler.
An editorial entrepreneur, Brugnatelli played a very important role in stimulating scientific publications in Italy, helping to spread advanced knowledge of chemistry, physics and natural sciences.
Rabdophaga rosacea is a species of gall midge that creates rosette galls on roses found in the central plains of North America.
The genus name 'Rabdophaga' is formed from two greek roots; rhabdos- meaning a rod or staffand -phaga meaning 'eater' In older references the genus name is spelled 'Rhabdophaga'.
As gall midges are one of the most diverse yet least known group of the true flies, a taxonomic revision of the world fauna of this group is in process .
In 2014, it was proposed that Rhadophaga rosacea be placed in Dasineura, a broadly defined polyphyletic genus of gall midges, as Dasineura rosacea.
The company first entered the market when it launched the card game Exploding Kittens in 2015, following a Kickstarter campaign yielding $8.78m.
Exploding Kittens was founded in 2015 by the game designer Elan Lee, former chief creative officer at Xbox, and illustrator Matthew Inman, creator of the comic site The Oatmeal.
The campaign was launched on January 19, 2015, and reached its initial goal of $10,000 within 10 to 20 minutes, arriving at $1m in seven hours.
By the end of the month-long campaign, the company had raised just under $8.8m from almost 220,000 backers, becoming the most backed game on Kickstarter at the time.
The $10,000 funding goal was again surpassed within a day, and the campaign eventually raised over $3m from 85,000 backers, making it the tenth most funded Kickstarter tabletop game.
It was followed in 2019 by Throw Throw Burrito, which entered Kickstarter in February and concluded its campaign with over $2.5m and 53,600 backers.
In September 2019, the company announced its fifth tabletop game, On a Scale of One to T-Rex, to be released exclusively on Amazon on November 5, 2019.

Ivan Simão da Cunha Gomes (December 25, 1939 - March 2, 1990) was a Brazilian vale tudo fighter and professional wrestler.
Born in Fazenda das Lajes in Campina Grande, Gomes was expected to become a cowboy like his father, but he started a career in martial arts after meeting coach Tatá.
Gomes dominated the competition through the years, eventually leading to a high-profile match against Carlson Gracie from the notorious Gracie family in 1963.
They fought on December 28 in Recife, in a fight in which Gomes supposedly had an advantage of almost 50 pounds.
Gomes dominated Gracie, throwing him and taking him down multiple times and hitting ground and pound, while Carlson waited for him to get tired to build an offense.
The Gracie family promised to concede it if Gomes managed to defeat Juarez Ferreira in Rio de Janeiro, but although Gomes did so, knocking Ferreira out with kata guruma in less of a minute, the rematch was never granted.
Instead, the Gracies offered Gomes to open an academy together with Carlson, with the condition Gomes would never challenge them again.
In November 1965, due to the presence of Anton Geesink and several famous judoka in Brazil, the Gracies challenged them, claiming the superiority of Brazilian jiu-jitsu over judo and offering Gomes and Carlson to fight to prove it, but they were ignored.
In 1968, after handing the academy to his brother Jaildo, Gomes returned to Campina Grande and resumed his vale tudo career, meeting fighters like Waldemar Santana and Euclides Pereira.
A year later, Japanese professional wrestling promotion New Japan Pro Wrestling toured Brazil, leading Gomes to challenge its owner Antonio Inoki.
The latter proposed to have catch wrestling expert Karl Gotch fight Gomes, but the bout never materialized, and Inoki instead decided to offer Gomes to wrestle for them.
The Brazilian fighter wrestled for NJPW in Japan from 1975 to 1977, often working matches with other martial artists like Yoshiaki Fujiwara, Don Arakawa and Daigoro Oshiro.

She was a member of the Women's Suffrage Society, the Belfast’s Irish Women’s Suffrage Society and the Women's Social and Political Union.
The 1901 census records her age as 31 and married to George McCracken, a Belfast solicitor, however, the 1911 census records her age as 37, and a journalist in the occupation column.
She was a member of the Women's Suffrage Society, the Belfast’s Irish Women’s Suffrage Society and the Women's Social and Political Union.
In 1915, McCracken invited Sylvia Pankhurst to Belfast to speak at a suffrage meeting as part of a campaign to support equal pay for women doing war work.
McCracken advocated for women's rights such as: wives should be financially independent, with all career routes being available to them; mothers should possess full rights of guardianship, and equal pay should be for all.
She also wrote articles on domestic violence, arguing that by keeping men from imprisonment due to their role as breadwinners was literally an encouragement for men to continue abusing their wives.
Many of these articles appeared in the Irish Citizen, calling for the legal profession to take domestic abuse and sexual assault of women in Ireland more seriously.

Ever since the village of Chicago, later changed to City of Chicago in 1857, was formed in 1834 for its unique geography and accessibility to one of the largest bodies of fresh water, the Great Lakes, it has had to deal with a number of issues concerning water quality to deal with the changes in its ever growing magnitude.
To combat the increasing issue of water quality the city of Chicago implemented ideas and plans such as the Master Drainage Plan and Tunnel and Reservoir Plan.
But, it wasn't until 2015 that Chicago began to treat sewage and storm water runoff, thus finally shedding its title as the last major city to treat it's sewage before being discharged into its waterways.
According to Macaitis (1985), the initial main concern around water quality stemmed from the constant drainage of sewage into the Chicago River and then ultimately into Lake Michigan due to the village lacking a sophisticated form of drainage, instead relying almost solely on roadside ditches.
Burrill (1904) goes more in depth stating that, Chicago inhabitants eventually took precautions to gather and utilize water from Lake Michigan by means of water intake valves that open up and ingest water from 4 miles way in 1840, however the contaminants were still able to reach the water supply.
To deal with the issue of a potentially contaminated city water supply, the State of Illinois created a drainage commission for the Chicago area in 1852.
The master drainage plan was centered around the fundamental aspect of raising the city by 3m and constructing new sewers that drained into the river and not the lake However once indoor plumbing was introduced to the world, the original sewer design, which was only designed to drain storm water runoff,  took on a dual responsibility.
A combined sewage system  can cause serious water pollution due to the fact that when wet weather occurs and runoff exceeds the maximum flow rate of the system, the excess runoff that the system can’t handle is discharged directly into a nearby body of water, whether it be a lake or a river.
The Canal had originally been created in 1848 with the purely commercial reasoning to function as a lock and pumping works for boats when the water was too low.
Due to the ever expanding population and industrialization of Chicago, sewage and waste from domestic residents, slaughter-houses, and other sources continued to increase in volume and pour into the river.
In 1863 an epidemic of Erysipelas broke out among the river, a direct consequence of the filth and pollution of the water.
The epidemic of Erysipelas coupled with the outcry and call for a better canal by the sewage commissioners resulted in the modification of the Illinois and Michigan canal in 1865.
The modification of the system changed the function of the canal so as to be able to utilize the pumps in an effort to cleanse the river.
According to Macaitis, it specifically took water pumped in from the Chicago River and discharged it back onto a high point in the canal to ease and reduce the water pollution of Lake Michigan, our main supply of water.
In 1885 an epidemic of waterborne disease arose and flourished due to the coupling of the ever increasing volume of waste as well as the sedimentation that occurred in the Illinois and Michigan canal in 1879, which reduced the original slow current to an even more reduced flow capacity.
To directly combat the continuously increased volumes of polluted and reduce the amount of contaminated water the city of Chicago created the Chicago Sanitary District, which was constructed with the purpose of creating and maintaining a canal system that reverses the flow of the Chicago River and the Calumet River systems.
In 1900 the main channel of the plan was finished and provided relief in the form of a new process for sewage and run-off.
Switching the flow of the water in the river allowed the discharged sewage of the city population to flow in the opposite direction.
Instead of allowing the Chicago River to directly drain the city’s sewage into Lake Michigan, the reversal of the channel allows for Lake Michigan to flow into the Chicago River.
Not only that, but also for the fact that it helps make the river cleaner since reversing the channel allows for Lake Michigan's water flow to help in the process of diluting and cleaning the sewage that’s discharged into the river.
The change in the rivers water flow was estimated to provide enough treatment-by-dilution for up to a population of three million.
However in 1908, it became clear to the Chicago Sanitary District that the city’s population was continuing to grow and that the population would soon exceed the treatment capacity that the canal offered.
Although they recognized this fact, it was not until 1920 that the construction of the districts first sewage treatment plant began.
This is an issue because once data was collected to analyze the exact volume of run-off and sewage discharged; it was found that, with Chicago’s annual rainfall of 84 cm, a mixture of run-off and sewage is discharged into the river about 100x’s a year.
It was not until after the 1930’s that combined sewer systems were replaced and banned for their better alternative, the separate sewer system.
One of the lines only treats run-off water, while the other is a separate sanitary system line designed to handle and only treat sewage.
In 1967 a committee of experts was formed, whom represented state and local interests, to study the area’s pollution and flooding problems.
Although, it was not until 1969 and having considered over 50 other alternative plans that the committee reached an agreement to form the Tunnel and Reservoir Plan (TARP) as the solution to the areas combined sewage issue.
TARP functions so that when it rains the large system of tunnels captures and stores the combined runoff of storm water and sewage, that otherwise would be discharged into the Chicago area waterways.
The stored water that TARP captures is then pumped into reclamation plants and cleaned before it is released back into the waterways.
The Clean Water Act allowed for the EPA to tackle the issue of water pollution and fund projects to improve water quality.
The regulations surrounding the Clean Water Act and the funding that can balloted using it only apply to pollution-control projects, and TARP is a flood control project as much as it is a pollution-control project.
According to the MWRD, The first phase was paid for by the EPA, tackling the mostly the pollution aspect of the project, while the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers paid for the second phase, which had more of a focus on flood control.
Phase once of TARP,  which was not fully completed till recently in 2006, provides the ability to capture and hold 2.3 billion volume.
Phase two is not scheduled to be completed till 2029, but when finished it will be able to increase the volume that TARP can hold to 18.5 billion volumes of liquid.
It was revealed and highlighted that Chicago was the last major U.S. city to skip the important step of disinfecting its sewage before discharging it back into public waterways.
Until then the waterways had been exempt from the tougher policies of the Clean Water Act because Chicago officials assumed that people wouldn't want to go near the fetid channels.
The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) had been the major obstacle, holding a steadfast opposition against the implementation of tougher water qualities.
The EPA, working with the support of the Obama administration, called for a plan to upgrade two of the Chicago areas biggest sewage-treatment plants so that they can disinfect the partially treated sewage and runoff that constantly flow into the Chicago waterways.
According to CBS (2015) as well as study by Shively (2016), this order came at the right time because the plants weren't fully upgraded to handle their new functions until 2015; and Shivley's study, which analyzed the Chicago beach water quality from 2011-2013, revealed some concerning information.
The study's goal was to analyze Chicago’s 9 beaches water to determine if the samples they collected exceeded the Recreation Water Quality Standard (RWQS) for E. Coli.
They found that out of the 2,059 water samples collected from the beaches, 285 of which were found to exceed the RWQS, for a total of 14% exceeding samples.
I doubt these findings would be true for modern day, since, according to Dick Durbin, the opening of the two newly facilitated sewage treatments plants, in Skokie and Calumet, were designed to improve the overall water quality of the Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS).
The two modified plants treat the city’s runoff and sewage before its discharged into waterways  by using a chlorination/de-chlorination process, which allowed Chicago to take the historic step in no longer allowing for sewage and runoff to be discharged into CAWS untreated.
Although the two updated sewage-treatment plants reduce the amount of pathogenic bacteria in the water, according to CBS, there has been no plan yet to provide the same care to the Stickney treatment plant.
This is cause for concern because the Stickney treatment plant is the worlds largest sewage-treatment plant and handles more wastewater than any other MWRDGC system's treatment plants.
He is the leader of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, and provides the show's title character with the bounty that leads him to meet the Child.
The character was originally planned only to appear in a handful of episodes, but Favreau and the writers liked the character so much that the part was expanded.
Elements of the character's background have deliberately been kept mysterious, though it was revealed in the that he was previously a disgraced government official, and Weathers said his backstory will be further developed in the second season.
Greef Karga is the leader of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, an organization that regulates the activities of bounty hunters, assigns bounties to specific individuals, and ensures everyone follow's the guild's rules.
The Mandalorian does so, only to later rescue the Child back from the Client, who is an agent of the Galactic Empire.
This is a violation of the Bounty Hunters' Guild code, so Greef organizes a group of bounty hunters to confront the Mandalorian and get the Child back.
A massive gunfight ensues, in which most of Greef's bounty hunters are killed when the Mandalorian receives assistance from a group of fellow Mandalorian warriors.
Greef only survives because he had two ingots of Beskar, a rare steel which the Client provided as payment for the Child's bounty, inside his vest pocket where he was shot.
The offer is a trap, and Kreef plans to ambush and kill the Mandalorian and return the Child to the Client.
During their voyage, the party is attacked by pterodactyl-like creatures, and Greef receives a poisonous slash that would have been fatal, but the Child uses the Force to heal him.
They devise a new plan in which they leave the Child behind, bring the Mandalorian to the Imperials as if he is a prisoner, and then attempt to eliminate them.
The plan goes wrong, resulting in the trio becoming pinned down inside a cantina by Imperial officer Moff Gideon and his stormtroopers.
The group escapes the building via the sewer system, where they travel to a hidden Mandalorian convert and find most of the warriors there have already been killed by the Empire.
The Mandalorian initially blames Greef for this, believing the Bounty Hunters' Guild responsible, until a fellow Mandalorian leader named known as the Armorer persuades him otherwise.
Greef is present when IG-11 sacrifices himself to eliminate a large number of stormtroopers to ensure the group's escape, and she survives an attack by Moff Gideon in a TIE fighter, which the Mandalorian repels.
Afterward, Greef decides to stay behind on Nevarro and rebuild the Bounty Hunters' Guild, and he invites Cara Dune to work as his enforcer, which she appears to accept.
He projects a calm and confident demeanor, and is motivated largely by financial profit, but is also fair in his dealings.
He is loyal to his allies to some degree, but can also be duplicitous and shifting in his allegiances, as seen by the way in which he repeatedly switches between friend and adversary to the Mandalorian.
Greef has a very theatrical and sometimes over-the-top personality, enjoys action and the company of bounty hunters, over whom he exerts strict control through his leadership role in the Bounty Hunters' Guild.
He was originally planned only to appear in a handful of episodes, but Favreau and the series writers found that they liked the character so much that they expanded his part and gave him a larger role.
The event also featured teaser footage featuring Greef, a still photo of the character, and included a panel discussion with Weathers and Gina Carano, the actress who portrays Cana, discussing their characters.
Although Weathers originally signed on for only a few episodes, the character was later expanded and the role grew larger than what he initially accepted.
After filming each episode, Weathers liked to watch footage and study the different energies the director and actors brought to each individual scene.
He said this took a lot of pressure off of him and the rest of the cast, giving them more freedom and helping ensure their own choices were in sync with hers.
Kuiil is portrayed as wise, patient, and hard-working, with a high level of mechanical skills and a gruff but ultimately kind-hearted personality.
The voice of Kuiil was performed by Nick Nolte, who completed his recordings for all the character's dialogue in a single afternoon.
Kuiil's motion capture performance was done by Misty Rosas, who during filming wore a face mask created by a shop of prosthetic makeup experts started by Stan Winston.
Kuiil's face was brought to life through animatronics and puppetry, with its electronics and wires concealed in the backpack and pockets of Kuiil's costume.
Three puppeteers controlled the mask's mouth and eyebrows off-camera as Rosas performed her scenes, attempting to match the character's facial movements to Nolte's vocal tracks.
The process often proved challenging, particularly when the puppeteers missed signals made by Rosas during dimly-lit scenes, and it was occasionally difficult for Rosas to breathe while wearing the mask.
At one point in the show, Kuiil says he worked in the gene farms of a cloning facility during his time with the Empire.
He eventually worked hard enough to pay off his debt and earn his freedom, and then sought a reclusive home on a quiet world where he would no longer have to work for anyone else again.
In that episode, Kuiil encounters the show's title character, a bounty hunter known as the Mandalorian, who is seeking to collect a bounty on an unnamed person being held on the planet.
He welcomes the Mandalorian into his home, where Kuiil informs him that several other bounty hunters and mercenaries have passed through Arvala-7 in search of the Mandalorian's target.
Kuiil offers to help the bounty hunter travel to the compound where the asset is being kept, with the hopes that once the bounty has been collected, peace will once again be restored to Arvala-7.
Kuiil helps foster a deal in which the Jawas will return the parts if the Mandalorian collects for them an egg from a dangerous nearby creature called a mudhorn, which the Mandalorian does.
Afterward, the Mandalorian offers to share some of the reward he will receive for collecting the bounty on the Child, but Kuiil refuses.
The Mandalorian also offers for Kuiil to accompany him off-planet and work for him, but Kuiil declines this request as well, preferring his peaceful life on Arvala-7, and wishing to never work for anyone else every again due to his past with the Empire.
They seek Kuiil's help in protecting the Child during a mission on the planet Nevarro to eliminate an Imperial presence there.
It is revealed that after the Mandalorian left Arvala-7, Kuiil found and rebuilt the bounty hunter droid IG-11, whom the Mandalorian had destroyed while rescuing the Child.
After a lengthy process of retraining IG-11 to walk and operate again, Kuiil reprogrammed him to be a nurse droid and protector, rather than a hunter.
Kuiil assigns IG-11 to protect the Child, and agrees to accompany the Mandalorian for the save of protecting the child from Imperial slavery, under the condition that he bring along IG-11 and his blurrgs.
On their way to the planet, Kuiil witnesses the Child use the Force to choke Cara after mistaking her for a threat.
While the others in the party does not understand his power, Kuiil advises them about rumors he has heard about the Force.
During their journey at Nevarro, Cara and the Mandalorian's party are attacked by a group of giant winged creatures, which they repel after losing several of the blurrgs.
Later, the bounty hunter Greef Karga reveals the mission is an ambush, after which the Mandalorian is to be killed and the Child given over to the Imperials.
Cara, the Mandalorian, and Greef instead devise a new plan: they will leave the Child behind, bring the Mandalorian to the Imperials as if he is a prisoner, and then eliminate them.
When Imperial leader Moff Gideon later traps the Mandalorian and his party, the bounty hunter contacts Kuiil and urges him hurry back to the ship and lock it down for the Child's protection.
Kuiil values the peace and tranquility he has established on Arvala-7, as shown by his willingness to assist the Mandalorian and other bounty hunters travel in finding the bounty they seek.
He believes doing so will help maintain the peace, and that getting the asset off the planet will store tranquility to Arvala-7.
Kuiil's history of servitude to the Empire means he strongly values his freedom and independence, and he has no desire to work for anyone again other than himself, as demonstrated by his rejection of the Mandalorian's offer of employment.
He has a strong sense of honor, and believes in doing the right thing, as illustrated by his willingness to risk his safety and hard-won freedom to help the Child.
The value he places on freedom due to his past experience factors into his determination to protect the Child from the Empire.
Nevertheless, Kuiil's terse manner of speaking has resulted in reviewers describing him as both friendly, and grumpy, though he is ultimately kind-hearted beneath his sometimes rough exterior.
He has lived a long time, and has seen and experienced many terrible things as a result of his past as an indentured servant, instilling a hardened world-weariness in him.
Kuiil is also a teacher, as he shows when he teaches the Mandalorian how to ride a blurrg, and teaches IG-11 how to walk and operate again following his reprogramming.
Concept art was prepared for the character during pre-production, including an image by Christian Alzmann of Kuiil and the Mandalorian riding bluurgs alongside each other, and another by Jama Jurabaev of Kuiil and the Mandalorian at his moisture farm.
The trailer included a brief clip of Kuiil, as well as a small amount of dialogue from the forthcoming show, in which he said he has never met a Mandalorian before, but has heard stories about them.
Although the news had leaked on the Internet earlier, Nolte's casting was announced on November 30, 2018, though the character he would be portraying was not initially revealed.
Rosas had a cold reading audition for the part in the summer of 2018, though she arranged via her agent to come in early and briefly review the script and familiarize herself with the material.
Rosas, who was born with 65% hearing loss in her right ear, was having problems with her hearing at the time and had an appointment with an ear doctor just hours before the audition.
Kuiil's face was brought to life through the use of animatronics and puppetry, with a head mask that was created by a shop of prosthetic makeup experts started by Stan Winston.
The electronics from the face mask's animatronics were concealed inside a backpack Kuiil wears throughout the show, and concealed wires ran along the back of Rosas' neck from the backpack into the mask.
As a result of all the machinery, the mask was physically heavy and placed a great deal of pressure on Rosas' shoulder, neck, back, and core stability.
However, Rosas said the weight of the costume ultimately aided her performance, since it helped her portray Kuiil's advanced age and slow walking speed.
Unlike some costumes Rosas has worn in past motion capture performances, she was able to see clearly while wearing the mask, but it was occasionally difficult to breathe because her mouth was far back within the mask.
She occasionally needed to ask crew members to open the mouth of the mask for her between takes so she could breathe more freely.
Jon Favreau, creator and showrunner of the series, attended these rehearsals, in which they would attempt to determine the rhythm and timing of each scene.
Nick Nolte recorded dialogue for Kuiil before the character's live-action scenes were filmed, providing multiple takes with different performances and vocal inclinations for the crew to choose from.
The recordings would not be available until the mornings of filming, so Misty Rosas prepared a great deal in advance for her scenes and study the dialogue carefully so they could go as smoothly as possible.
Once the dialogue was ready, Rosas and other members of the crew, including the episode's director, would listen to the various recordings, arrange the chosen recordings, and prepare to shoot the scenes.
Rosas and the puppeteers prepared extensively to ensure their efforts were coordinated, and during filming she would provide them a non-verbal signal to indicate when she was about to act out a line of dialogue so they could operate the mask.
Occasionally the puppeteers would miss her signals, particularly when in scenes that were dimly lit, and multiple takes were required to get it correct.
This made the Child relatively heavy, occasionally proving challenging for Rosas, who also had to manage the weight of the animatronics in her own costume.
The process was made further challenging because she was carrying the heavy animatronic Child prop throughout the scenes, and she occasionally needed breaks between takes.
However, Rosas was able to place the weight of her animatronics-filled backpack on the saddle of the blurrg while filming the scenes, which helped relieve pressure on her shoulders, neck, and back.
The two have a relationship similar to that of a father and son, as demonstrated in the scene in which Kuiil teaches IG-11 how to operate and function after the droid is reprogrammed.
The droid was a dangerous assassin before Kuiil reprogrammed him, but thanks to the Ugnaught's parenting, he becomes a protector and helper instead.
Even after IG-11 is reprogrammed, the Mandalorian does not believe he has truly changed, because he believes droids have an essential nature and that IG-11's nature remains murderous and untrustworthy.
But in reprogramming IG-11, Kuiil nurtures him and helps him to change; Kuiil feels that in the process of learning how to function again, IG-11 gained a new personality.
Fans on the Internet expressed hope that it would be revealed in the next episode that he had survived, or that IG-11 or another character would revive him, before his death was confirmed on-screen.
An extremely deadly and efficient bounty hunter droid, IG-11 initially attempts to capture and kill an alien known as the Child, but is stopped and killed by another bounty hunter known as the Mandalorian.
IG-11 is later repaired by the Ugnaught alien Kuiil and reprogrammed as a nurse and protector of the Child, and an ally of the Mandalorian.
Waititi said he tried to create a voice that lacked human emotion while still maintaining some semblance of humanity, and described his performance as a cross between Siri and HAL 9000.
In his first appearance on the show, IG-11 is a member of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, and attempts to collect a bounty against an unidentified living being, which is also being sought by a fellow bounty hunter known as The Mandalorian, the show's protagonist.
The Mandalorian has a distrust for all droids that stems from the fact that battle droids attacked his home planet and killed his parents during the Clone Wars when he was a child.
Both the Mandalorian and IG-11 track the asset to a compound on the planet Arvala-7, guarded by a large number of mercenaries of the Nikto alien species.
While the Mandalorian is scouting the compound from afar, IG-11 simply walks up and demands they hand it over, resulting in a massive gunfight, which The Mandalorian eventually joins.
IG-11 attempts to kill him, but the Mandalorian shoots IG-11 in the head and kills him in order to protect the Child.
After Kuiil teaches IG-11 how to walk again, the droid takes on a more docile personality than before, serving meals and tea to guests and helping Kuiil feed his domesticated blurrg creatures.
IG-11's new programming means he no longer wants to kill the Child and is instead committed to protecting it, though the Mandalorian still does not trust the droid.
At the start of the episode, after Imperial Scout Troopers have killed Kuiil and kidnapped the Child, IG-11 catches up with the troopers outside of a nearby town, incapacitates them, and reclaims the child.
The droid then steals one of their speeder bikes and rides into the town, where he finds he Mandalorian, Cara, and the bounty hunter Greef Karga surrounded by stormtroopers being led by a man named Moff Gideon.
The Mandalorian is seriously injured and, still distrusting of droids, he assumes IG-11 is going to kill him, but instead the droid heals him with the use of bacta.
Later, after IG-11 helps the party escape from the bunker into the sewer system, they come across a Mandalorian armorer in the tunnels, who provides them an escape route aboard a droid-controlled floating barge on a river of lava.
As the barge approaches the tunnel exit, IG-11's scans reveal that a large number of Moff Gideon's stormtroopers are hiding at the tunnel gate in an ambush.
IG-11 concludes there was no scenario in which the Child could be saved and IG-11 would survive, so he decided to sacrifice himself.
He asked the Mandalorian for an assurance that the Child would be safe in his care, which would allow him to default to his secondary command so he could self-destruct.
IG-11 then walks through into the river of lava, which causes him to start to melt down, but before doing so he reaches the stormtrooper squadron and detonates himself in the middle of them, killing them all in an explosion and ensuring safe passage for the others.
Taika Waititi, the actor who performs his voice, compared IG-11 to the Terminator, the murderous android character from the media franchise of the same name.
IG-11 is also very fast, as illustrated by his ability to quickly catch up on foot to the two Imperial Scout Troopers who abduct the Child, even though they had ridden speeder bikes.
Once reprogrammed by Kuiil, IG-11 is still capable of great destruction, but his instincts now are for servitude and protection of the child instead of killing.
He remains direct, stoic, and by-the-book, but his personality becomes obedient and deferential, with IG-11 serving the characters meals and tea like a maid.
However, he shows the same level of determination he had as a bounty hunter when he is learning, or relearning, everything following his reprogramming.
IG-88 stands in one place during the scene and does not move, so IG-11 marked the first time this type of droid was seen moving and in action in a live-action production.
IG-11 immediately became a highly anticipated character among fans due to their familiarity with IG-88, and many fans and journalists mistook the character for the actual IG-88 due to their resemblance.
The casting was first announced by Favreau on March 21, 2019, when he posted a photo on Instagram of Waititi recording dialogue for the character.
Waititi said it was a challenge to come up with the voice for IG-11 because it had to lack human emotion and personality while still maintaining some semblance of humanity, which he described as a subtle and tricky balance.
Even after IG-11 is reprogrammed, the Mandalorian does not believe he has truly changed, because he believes droids have an essential nature and that IG-11's nature remains murderous and untrustworthy.
But in reprogramming IG-11, Kuiil nurtures him and helps him to change; Kuiil feels that in the process of learning how to function again, IG-11 gained a new personality.
The two have a relationship similar to that of a father and son, as demonstrated in the scene in which Kuiil teaches IG-11 how to operate and function after the droid is reprogrammed.
The droid was a dangerous assassin before Kuiil reprogrammed him, but thanks to the Ugnaught's parenting, he becomes a protector and helper instead.
Additionally, Phipps questions of whether IG-11's destructive behavior around the Child could ultimately be bad for his development, even though the violence is intended to protect him.
IG-11, like many droids in the franchise, appear to have a distinct personality and be almost fully sentient, but he nevertheless accept full servitude to his biological masters and allies.
Portrayed by actress and former mixed martial artist Gina Carano, she is a former Rebel shock trooper turned mercenary who becomes an ally to the title character of the series.
A highly trained fighter and battle-hardened warrior, Cara is skilled in the use of weaponry, hand-to-hand combat, and battle tactics, and has an intense hatred for the Galactic Empire.
She credits Bryce Dallas Howard, who directed the featuring Cara Dune, with helping Carano find how to best translate the character from the script to the screen.
She eventually became wanted for reasons not yet disclosed by the show, leading her to hide out on the forest planet Sorgan.
She meets the Mandalorian on Sorgan, where she recognizes him as a bounty hunter and wrongly believes he may be attempting to collect a bounty on her.
They reconcile and ultimately join forces him to defend a village against a ravaging band of raiders of the Klatooinian alien species.
Cara and the Mandalorian help prepare defensive obstacles and protective positions throughout the village, as well as train the villagers for combat.
Lacking sufficient weapons to take down the AT-ST, they develop a plan to use the environment of the village, digging ponds deep enough for the walker to collapse after stepping into them.
These measures prove effective during the battle, but when the AT-ST fails to advance far enough to fall into the pond traps, Cara successfully lures it forward by leaping into the pond herself and attacking it at close range.
After the battle, Cara saves the life of the Child, a young alien creature under the Mandalorian's protection, when she finds and kills a bounty hunter just before it is about to execute the Child.
As a result, the Mandalorian realizes he must take the Child away from Sorgan, and he invites Cara to come along with them, but she declines.
While traveling to Nevarro on the Mandalorian's ship, Cara participates in a friendly arm wrestling match with him, but the Child mistakes her actions as aggressive and uses the Force to choke her, only stopping after the Mandalorian intervenes.
During their journey, Cara and the Mandalorian's party are attacked by a group of pterodactyl-like creatures, which they repel after taking casualties.
The bounty hunter Greef Karga is critically injured and Cara attempts to apply first aid, but the Child uses the Force to heal him.
Later, Greef reveals the mission is an ambush, after which the Mandalorian is to be killed and the Child given over to the Imperials.
Cara, the Mandalorian, and Greef instead devise a new plan: they will leave the Child behind, bring the Mandalorian to the Imperials as if he is a prisoner, and then eliminate them.
The plan goes wrong, resulting in the trio becoming pinned down inside a cantina by Imperial officer Moff Gideon and his stormtroopers.
The group escapes the building via the sewer system, and flee on a droid-controlled floating barge on a river of lava.
Cara is present when IG-11 sacrifices himself to eliminate a large number of stormtroopers to ensure the group's escape, and she survives an attack by Moff Gideon in a TIE fighter, which the Mandalorian repels.
Afterward, Cara decides to stay on Nevarro to help eliminate any remaining Imperial presence on the planet, and Greef invites her to work as his enforcer, which she appears to accept.
Gina Carano, the actress and former mixed martial artist who plays the character, said Cara and the Mandalorian are similar in personality and background, and that the two understand each other and were able to form a bond as a result.
A highly trained fighter, she is muscular, extremely accurate shot, and has excellent hand-to-hand combat skills, as show immediately in her fight with the Mandalorian when Cara is first introduced.
As a soldier, Cara enjoyed the adrenaline of war, and when that disappeared during peace time, she found herself disillusioned with her new role.
Carano has said it's also possible that she is questioning whether she agreed with everything that occurred during her military service, and that her experiences at war taken a psychological toll on her.
However, she also has a strong sense of loyalty, as shown by her refusal to abandon the Mandalorian after he is seriously injured in the first-season finale.
Cara has an intense hatred for the Empire, which is driven in large part by its role in the destruction of her home planet of Alderaan.
In another example, he cited a scene in the first-season finale in which Cara assists an injured Mandalorian by dragging him into cover for assessment while providing covering fire.
He sought to make a strong and independent character, but one different from Princess Leia or other strong female characters previously featured in the franchise.
False rumors had circulated on the Internet about what type of character Cara would be prior to any official announcements about her were made character.
The event also featured teaser footage featuring Cara, a still photo of the character, and included a panel discussion with Carano and Carl Weathers, the actor who portrays Greef, discussing their characters.
She was amazed when Favreau showed her concept art that looked exactly like her, and when she first read the script she became so emotional that she cried.
Carano's casting was first announced on December 12, 2018, though the news had been leaked on the Internet before the formal announcement.
Prior to filming one of Cara's first scenes, Carano said Favreau told her that playing this character was going to change Carano's career trajectory, giving her more self-confidence as an actress providing her the opportunity to play stronger roles in the future.
Carano credited Bryce Dallas Howard, who directed the first episode featuring Cara, with helping Carano determine how to best translate the character from the script to the screen during their work together in Cara's debut episode.
The creation of Cara Dune's costume began with a mold being made of Carano's body, a process she did not enjoy.
Jon Favreau, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Dave Filoni provided input on the costume, with Howard in particular making suggestions about how to convey toughness without sacrificing femininity, while also ensuring Carano would be able to perform the athletic feats required of the character.
Cara's hairstyle was originally planned to be short, with one side completely buzzed, but Carano objected to this because she wanted to maintain the character's femininity.
Howard said while she and the producers of the series were discussing Cara's costume, they observed Chow directing and noticed the way her hair was gathered and stylized with braids, and elements of it were factored into Cara Dune's hairstyle.
Carano said the Rebel insignia tattoo in particular has a deeper back story that will be revealed later in the series.
Favreau and Filoni discussed elements of Cara's back story with Carano before filming to help inform her performance, and just before filming the introductory scene of Cara's debut episode, Favreau shared secrets about the character that would not be revealed until later in the series.
As a result, she said she could often tell what faces Pascal was making or what emotions he was expressing beneath the mask, despite not seeing his face.
During filming of Cara's first episode, Bryce Dallas Howard Howard listened to Carano's thoughts and ideas during the filming process, watched replays with her after shooting scenes, and communicated with Carano as a fellow actress, since Howard herself is also an actress.
Howard also allowed Carano to have as many takes as she needed to get the performance right, which the actress said put her at ease.
Howard enjoyed exploring the aggressive side of Cara's personality with Carano, particularly because Cara is different than the types of characters Howard usually plays as an actress herself.
During Carano's first day of filming, she was required to ride the mechanical blurrg, a reptilian mounted creature that was so large she needed a ladder to climb atop it.
Carano had a stomach flu when her scenes fighting the AT-ST were filmed, which along with two nights of rain in advance of the shoot made the scene very challenging.
Carano's introductory scene in which the Mandalorian and Cara fight each other was originally written differently, but it was changed on the set by Favreau and Howard as the stunt team worked on choreography and previsualization.
For example, Carano herself drags a wounded comrade off a battlefield during one of her scenes, which surprised many of the bystanders on the set.
Carano also outpaced Pascal's stunt double in one scene, and in another she sent a stunt performer flying across the set due to the force of one of her kicks.
Carano believes her fighting scenes have been aided not only by her mixed martial arts skills, but also her training in ballet, jazz dancing, and tap dancing as a child.
She said some fighters have trouble transitioning into acting because they want to appear tough and have trouble performing in scenes in which they lose fights or take hits, but Carano said her early arts training helped her avoid that.
Several fans have produced artwork of the character and dressed as her in cosplay, and some have gotten the Rebel Alliance tattoo that Cara has under her eye.

The character did not make his first appearance until the of the first season, but Esposito has said he will play a larger role in the second season.
He was previously an operative in the Imperial Security Bureau, a covert intelligence arm and secret police for the Galactic Empire.
Gideon's life was drastically changed after the fall of the Empire, and he became a warlord leading his own Imperial remnant.
As the character Cara Dune states in the show, it was widely believed Moff Gideon had been executed for war crimes before the series began.
The Client is meeting with the bounty hunter Greef Karga and his associate Cara Dune at a cantina on the planet Nevarro.
He is under the impression that Greef has brought the Child to him, along with the imprisoned Mandalorian, who had been trying to protect the Child from the Empire.
In reality, the Child is not with them, and the meeting is a trap in which the Mandalorian plans to kill the Client and his stormtoopers.
Moff Gideon suggests that is not the case, then orders a squadron of his own stormtroopers to open fire on the cantina, killing the Client and his troops.
Afterward, the cantina is surrounded by stormtroopers and Death Troopers, and Moff Gideon lands his modified TIE Fighter outside the building and emerges, informing the trapped Mandalorian, Cara, and Greef that he wants the Child.
Gideon reveals he knows secret details about all of them, and refers to the Mandalorian by his real name, Din Djarin, marking the first time this name was revealed in the show.
When the droid IG-11 arrives to assist the Mandalorian and his allies, a brief gunfight breaks out between them and the stormtroopers.
During this fight, Gideon seriously injures and nearly kills the Mandalorian by shooting a power generator near him, causing an explosion.
The Mandalorian and his party escape from the Imperials, but Gideon later encounters them elsewhere on the planet, where Gideon attacks them from above with his TIE fighter while they are on the ground.
The Mandalorian uses his jetpack to fly after and attack Gideon's starfighter, connecting his grapple hook to the wing and after briefly clinging to the top of the TIE Fighter in mid-air.
He places an explosive charge on the ship and it explodes, causing the damaged TIE Fighter to crash in the distance, which allows the Mandalorian and his allies to escape.
In the final scene of the episode and season, Gideon is shown to have survived the crash, and he uses a lightsaber-like weapon with a black blade to cut through the metal exterior of the TIE Fighter and extract himself.
Moff Gideon is a dangerous and fierce man, who does not hesitate to harm or kill anyone to get what he wants.
Gideon does not hesitate to kill his own men when they fail him, or even for mere annoyances like when they interrupt him.
Sly, intimidating, and unforgiving, Gideon is extremely determined to achieve his goals and is willing to sacrifice the lives of his men to get the Child.
Gideon is a strong military strategist, and despite the fall of the Empire still yields power, commanding a considerable number of Imperial forces, including people, equipment, and spaceships.
Through his past association with the Imperial Security Bureau, Gideon had access to a great deal of classified intelligence, and as a result he is extremely knowledgeable about topics unknown to most other characters in the series.
Gideon has a vision for the future, and a strong personal sense of order, one of the driving principles of the Empire, which had a militaristic approach to policing the galaxy that Gideon also embraces.
After the show aired, Giancarlo said two of his four daughters sent him text messages urging him not to hurt the Child, who had become an Internet sensation.
The costume was created based upon the design by costume designer Joseph Porro, with props and costume fabrication by Frank Ippolito via Ippolito's company Thingergy Inc.
Using a combination of physical set pieces and images projected onto the screens, the Volume allows the actors to be filmed and placed into a digital environment.
The sequences with Moff Gideon flying his TIE Fighter were filmed in the Volume, and Waititi was very detail-oriented in working with Esposito on the scenes.
For example, Waititi gave Esposito very specific feedback on what he felt Esposito should be doing with his feet during the final scene when he cuts himself free of the crashed TIE Fighter.

Alexander Sinclair, 9th Earl of Caithness (d. 1765) was a Scottish nobleman and chief of the Clan Sinclair, a Highland Scottish clan in Caithness.
He died in 1765, leaving an only child, Lady Dorothea, who married James Duff, 2nd Earl Fife and who died in 1819 without issue.
In 1761, Alexander Sinclair, 9th Earl of Caithness had executed an entail that on the failure of his heirs, his estates should pass to the Sinclairs of Stevenson who were not related to the Sinclairs of Murkle who the Earl was descended from.
Upon his death the male issue of his father, John Sinclair, 8th Earl of Caithness, of his grandfather, Sir James Sinclair, 2nd of Murkle and of his great-grandfather, James Sinclair, 1st of Murkle, became extinct.
The title then devolved upon William Sinclair of Rattar, as the lineal descendant of Sir John Sinclair of Greenland and Rattar, third son of John Sinclair, Master of Caithness (d. 1576) and younger brother of James Sinclair, 1st of Murkle.
Sir James Sinclair of Murkle had a son, David Sinclair of Broynach, whose male descendants would have succeeded to the title in preferences to the Sinclair of Greenland and Rattar branch.
However, his grandson, James, who did claim the title, failed to establish legitimacy of his father, David, the son of David Sinclair of Broynach.
William Sinclair of Rattar was therefore served male heir, becoming 10th Earl of Caithness, with the Committee of Privileges adjudging the title to him in May 1772.

Suspected of bribing members of the Maltese government, in November 2019 Fenech was arrested as a suspect in the murder of the investigative-journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.
Later, the research group The Daphne Project came across e-mails between 17 Black and two shell companies in Panama, belonging to Mizzi or Schembri.
Fenech was CEO of the Tumas Group and a director of energy company Electrogas; in 2019 he resigned from both positions.
On 16 October 2017, investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia died in a car bomb attack close to her home, attracting widespread local and international reactions.

Patricia Horne (born c.1929), is an Irish medical doctor who spent the beginning of her career working in Africa in Nigeria in the 1950s.
Her father was a Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) officer at Gallipoli before returning to Dublin and marrying Moclair in 1925.
Horne grew up wanting to be a surgeon, and she and her sister went to the Ursulines secondary school in Waterford.
While in college, Horne lead the UCD women's hockey team to Irish Senior Cup victory in 1951; the cup was not won by UCD again for 58 years.
In the early period for women as doctors in Ireland, they often found it easier to work in public health, and so, with her mother's experience behind her, Horne also completed a Diploma in Public Health.
Horne wanted to work overseas and her father's experience at Gallipoli led him to want his daughter to work with nuns if she did so.
She applied for government public health operations in Hong Kong, Africa and India but in 1957 went to work on a two year contract to a missionary hospital in Nsukka, Nigeria.
Some of the surgery methods used due to decisions made locally had strong arguments in their favour but have been controversial in other locations.After two years she left and returned home.
A back injury forced Horne to give up surgery and she took up psychiatry and worked in Ireland until her retirement in 1994.
The Dreamspeakers International Film Festival is an annual film festival in Edmonton, Alberta, which programs a lineup of films related to First Nations, Métis, Inuit and other international indigenous peoples.
The oldest surviving indigenous film festival in Canada, it was first staged in 1992; however, its inaugural edition faced some controversy when the First Nations Filmmakers Alliance pressured the festival's organizing committee to pull several scheduled films which had not been made by indigenous filmmakers.
The festival's organizing committee and film selection process were restructured in response to the controversy before the second event was staged in 1993, and most later coverage of the festival has treated 1993 rather than 1992 as the launch date of the festival in its current form.
For financial reasons, the festival was not staged in 1999 after failing to secure an arts grant from the city of Edmonton.
It was revived in 2003 as a programming stream within the city's Global Visions Film Festival, before being officially relaunched as a separate event again in 2004.
The festival also coordinates the Dreamspeakers Walk of Honour, a public walk of fame in the city's Beaver Hills House Park devoted to distinguished Canadian indigenous people.

is a type of master's degree and professional degree awarded by the United States Air Force via Air Command and Staff College (ACSC).
Military art and science is an interdisciplinary field of study that serves as Professional military education in the United States Air Force.
They include established academic fields of study such as sociology, history, engineering, psychology, politics, geography, science, ethics, economics, anthropology, and others.
It may also include other professional fields of practice such as medicine and the law insofar as they interact with the military or are applied to military matters.
The United States Army Command and General Staff College awards a similar master's degree and professional degree, a Masters of Military Art and Science (MMAS or M.M.A.S).
Thus, a large proportion of research in the field of military art and science is done to address practical problems faced by practitioners.
Purely academic research, however, is also an integral part of the field and is essential to ensure its continued intellectual vitality.
The results of scholarship and research in the field may be of interest and may be helpful to political leaders and policymakers, military officers, as well as to scholars and the interested public.
Military art is generally subject to qualitative rather than quantitative investigation, although it does not exclude the use of quantitative methods when appropriate.
It includes such areas as the technological military applications and equipment made possible by the physical sciences, various engineering disciplines, industrial management, logistics, electronic simulations, communications technologies, and transportation technologies.
Research in military science requires a degree of expertise in the use of logic and critical thinking; and normally it also requires technical expertise in at least one of its associated disciplines.

From February 1935 to Deecmber 1936, he was deputy head of the Special Department of the NKVD in the Belorussian Belarus Republic.
The first Red Army officer to be arrested in the Great Purge, Dmitry Shmidt was interrogated by Ushakov, and forced to give evidence incriminating the commander of the Ukraine military district, Iona Yakir.
After Marshal Tukhachevsky was arrested in May 1937, Ushkaov took over his itnerrogation and forced a confession out of him - which he retracted at his trial - by beating him so severely that there blood stains on the document he signed incriminating himself.
After the arrest of Robert Eikhe in April 1938, Ushkaov forced a confession out of him through torture, making use of the fact that Eikhe broken ribs had not mended properly.
Ushakov was sent on a mission to the Far eastern territory in summer 1938, and was arrested in Khabarovskon 5 September, when Lavrentiy Beria was taking control of the NKVD, sentenced to death on 21 January 1940, and shot on 26 January.
He served as the head football coach at Iowa Wesleyan College in Mount Pleasant, Iowa (1977), Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa (1978–1979), and Monmouth College in Monmouth, Illinois (1980–1983), compiling a career college football coaching record of 13–50–1.
Having originated in North America, it has spread to other parts of the world and become a major pest of cotton crops.
The adult female is ellipsoidal in shape, about long and wide, with a convex dorsal surface and a flat ventral surface.
The body is yellowish-grey but this is largely obscured by the waxy secretions that cover the body, although the segmentation can still be seen.
It was not reported again until 1967 when it was detected in Arizona, California, Colorado, Mississippi, Texas and Washington D.C.. By 1988 it was found on cotton in a number of areas of Texas and had adapted to feed on 29 different species of plant.
It continued to spread in North America and later to other parts of the world, being reported in India in 2004, Pakistan and Brazil in 2005, and China and Sri Lanka in 2008.
In dry conditions, they move to the roots and the lower leaves and stems, however in wetter conditions they prefer the upper parts of the plant.
An infestation of this mealybug on cotton causes stunting of plants and yellowing, distortion and premature shedding of leaves; the presence of sooty mould reduces photosynthesis, bolls may not develop properly and yields of lint are reduced by an average of 35% in India.

Joan of Arc is an 1879 painting by Jules Bastien-Lepage, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it has been since 1889, the year in which it was also exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in Paris.
Joan of Arc became an increasingly important figure in French sculpture, painting and culture in the 1870s and 1880s, following the country's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, after which the German Empire annexed Joan's (and Bastien-Lepage's) birthplace of Lorraine.
Bastien-Lepage was no exception and his work was bought by the New York businessman Erwin Davis in 1880, having been exhibited at the Paris Salon earlier that year.

Henry Alford (12 February 1816 – 20 February 1892) was a police trooper in colonial South Australia, the colony's first mounted constable.
He left the force at a time of low morale and became a hotel owner and publican, in which pursuit he was followed by his two sons.
One of his first assignments was to purchase and accompany from Tasmania (then Van Diemen's Land) two horses and two bullocks, the first brought into the colony.
Alford and two others volunteered as special constables to bring in three escaped convicts from Tasmania, led by the outlaw Morgan, whom they apprehended near the whaling stations at Encounter Bay.
In April 1838 Governor Hindmarsh inaugurated a police force with Henry Inman in charge with the rank of Inspector, and Alford was one of the first of the twenty-odd men sworn in as constables, in what was Australia's first fully constituted police force.
In October 1838 the newly arrived Governor Gawler promoted Inman to Superintendent of Police, and in November James Stuart and William Baker Ashton were sworn in as sub-inspectors.
Alford was a conscientious and efficient officer, making 54 arrests in three years, and by 1841 had been promoted to sergeant, and sergeant-major in 1842.
Alford was promoted Inspector in 1849 following the death of Commissioner Gordon, and in 1853 and 1854 was responsible for guarding gold shipments from Mount Alexander to Adelaide.
In September 1853 Alford left the force, leading to a public demand for an investigation into what precipitated such an action.

Alford had previously shown sympathy with publicans, and in March 1854 joined their ranks, taking over the licence of the Stag Inn, corner of Rundle Street and East Terrace, then in 1855 built the Glynde Inn, of which he became licensee in June 1856.
His other son, Edwin, took on the job of poundkeeper at Hectorville in 1868, assisting with the management of the Glynde hotel nearby, giving his father leisure time to devote to his garden and a relaxed social life.
On Edwin's death she continued management of the hotel until around 1911, so it had been in the hands of the family for 55 years, possibly a State record.
His remains were interred at the West Terrace cemetery, with many members of the police force among those who attended the funeral.
Born in Damvillers to Claude Bastien and Adèle Lepage, he studied under Jules, who also painted his portrait in 1879, a work now in the Musée d'Orsay.

After the events of the previous episode, Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) and Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott) agree to confess their romantic relationship to their boss Chris Traeger (Rob Lowe).
In the first trial, Leslie admits her relationship with Ben to the ethics committee, but denies any possible corruption or wrongdoing as a result of dating her superior.
Unfortunately, Chris announces that he has numerous character witnesses to prove her and Ben's special treatment toward one another, as well as possible bribery.
Although Leslie manages to deflect most of the witnesses' arguments brought to the trial, one of the witnesses is rumored to be extremely important to the case.
Leslie and Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) initially believe that the important witness is Ron's ex-wife Tammy Two (Megan Mullally); it is revealed to be George Williams, an electrician who was bribed by Leslie and Ben with a gift certificate to ignore their kiss at Li'l Sebastian's memorial service.
Chris reveals that Ben held a private meeting with the committee and took full blame for the bribery, effectively resigning as Assistant City Manager.
He and the stenographer, Ethel Beavers, reveal that Ben said his relationship with Leslie was worth losing his job; he also declares his love for her.
During the credits, Jerry Gergich (Jim O'Heir) admits during the trial that his real name is Garry, catching both Leslie and Chris off guard.
Steve Eisler of The AV Club gave the episode a B+, scolding the episode for its lack of screen time to the other characters, but praising its ending for its emotional weight.
The official figure of war related deaths during World War II in Yugoslavia and the immediate post-war period, provided by the Yugoslav government in 1946, was 1,706,000 deaths.
This number was proven to be exaggerated in later studies, particularly by statistician Bogoljub Kočović, who in 1985 estimated the actual war losses of the pre-war territory of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia at 1,014,000, and demographer Vladimir Žerjavić, whose 1989 estimate was 1,027,000 deaths.
Kočović did not separate civilian and military deaths, while Žerjavić estimated that 53% were civilians, and 47% were members of various military forces.
The 1964 victims census was conducted for the purpose of negotiating war reparations for human losses and damage to infrastructure with West Germany.
The census was requested by Germany as its government did not agree with negotiations on the basis of the official Yugoslav estimate at the time.
Estimates and calculations of the wartime population losses of Yugoslavia from Ivo Lah, a Slovene statistician, Croatian demographers Ivan Klauzer and Vladimir Žerjavić, and Serb statistician Bogoljub Kočović, ranging between 900,000 and 1,150,000, showed that the official Yugoslav government's figure was highly exaggerated.
The differences between them were very small, the calculated total number of victims for the pre-war territory of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia by Kočović was 1,014,000, and 1,027,000 by Žerjavić.
From 2003, the Belgrade Museum of Genocide Victims conducts a revision of the 1964 victims list, excluding deaths that occurred after 15 May 1945.
Dragan Cvetković, a historian working at the museum, estimates between 1,042–1,092,000 human losses for the territory of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and 28,000 for areas ceded after the war to Yugoslavia.
Kočović's and Žerjavić's research showed that the highest war losses, compared to the expected population number in 1948, were in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Croatia.
Kočović and Žerjavić differ in some of their categorizations of victims by ethnicity, largely in the case of the Montenegrin losses.
The estimate is based on a partially revised victims list from the 1964 Yugoslav census, excluding casualties that occurred after the formal end of the war.
Out of that number, excluding the casualties from abroad, 18,000 were killed by the Chetniks, 17,000 by NDH armed forces, 14,000 by the Partisans, 7,000 by German forces, and 5,000 by Italian forces.
The civilian casualties of the Bosnian Muslims were 36,000, based on Žerjavić's research; 20,000 were killed by the Chetniks, 7,000 by the NDH armed forces, 4,000 by the Germans, 3,000 by the Italians, and 2,000 by the Partisans.
The Belgrade Museum of Genocide Victims estimates that 22,200–23,800 Roma died in concentration camps of the NDH, out of a total of 24-26,000 Roma civilian casualties, based on Cvetković's research.
He estimated that 50,000 Croats and 11,000 Bosnian Muslims died as members of the Yugoslav Partisans, both in the country and abroad.
Regarding Serb war losses in Serbia proper, Žerjavić provided the number of 80,000 civilian deaths, or 46,000 in concentration camps, 21,000 killed by German forces, 11,000 by Bulgarian forces, and 2,000 by the Chetniks.
13,000 Muslims died as civilians, members of Axis forces, or as Yugoslav Partisans, and 5,000 were Russians, Ukrainians, Germans, and others.
The revised 1964 victims census by the Belgrade Museum of Genocide contains the named list of 55,830 civilians that died in the Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia, which included most of Serbia proper and a part of Vojvodina.
In 2010, the Inter-Academy Commission was set up by the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences and Hungarian Academy of Sciences, to establish the number of civilian casualties within the post-war borders of Vojvodina from 1941 to 1948.
Based on the published results as of 2015, until the formal end of the Second World War, 60,847 civilians lost their lives.
Of the total number of 86,492 civilians, 51% died in camps, 47% in extrajudicial executions, and 2% were sentenced to death.
Until May 1945, most civilian deaths were caused by the German forces, followed by the Yugoslav Partisans, the NDH armed forces, and the Hungarian forces.
The calculations of war losses for Slovenia by Kočović and Žerjavić are related to the area of the pre-war Drava Banovina only, excluding todays western Slovenia that was then a part of Italy.
Of the war losses among Slovenes in the Drava Banovina, 12,000 died as Yugoslav Partisans, 9,000 as Slovene Home Guards and members of the White Guard, and 2,000 that were forcibly mobilized in the German army.
Kočović provided a similar death toll as Žerjavić for the Drava Banovina of 35,000, of which 30,000 were Slovenes, 3,000 were Germans, 1,000 were Jews, and 1,000 were Roma.
After these two studies came out, several Slovenian researchers cautioned that the figures given for the Drava Banovina were too low.
The Institute of Contemporary History in Ljubljana launched in 1995 an ongoing research on the war losses in Slovene Lands from April 1941 to January 1946.
The published data as of 2012 showed that around 97,700 people died in the territory of present-day Slovenia in that time period.
The highest losses were in the Province of Ljubljana (9.5% of the population), and the lowest were in the Prekmurje region (1.9%).
Of that number, 23,412 were civilians, 33,386 were members of the Yugoslav Partisans, the Liberation Front of the Slovene Nation and other pro-partisan military units, 15,276 were Slovene Home Guards, White Guards and Slovene Chetniks, 12,380 were mobilized in the German, Italian, or Hungarian army, 1,339 were others, while 11,952 are unidentified.
The demographics losses due to emigration include those that were expelled from Yugoslavia, those that refused to return to the country from camps or from work abroad, and those that fled or emigrated for other reasons, up until 1948.
After the end of the war, the areas of Istria, Slovene Littoral, the cities of Rijeka and Zadar, and several islands were ceded from Italy to Yugoslavia, and its republics of Slovenia and Croatia.
For the areas ceded to Croatia, Žerjavić in 1993 published the results of his research which showed that 32,000 people died in that area from 1941–1945.
For Zadar, the war losses were 4,000 Italians, largely due to Allied bombing of the city, and for Rijeka, 3,000 Italians and 1,000 Croats.
Despite this and the two occupants, bungee launches remained possible and, with the increased weight, the best glide angle improved by 25%.
Over most of the span the two-part wings of the Bakcyl have constant chord and forward sweep but their long tips are trapezoidal, with sweep on their leading edges.
Forward sweep has often been employed on two seat gliders to position the rear seat over the centre of gravity, so the aircraft can be flown solo from the front seat without re-trimming; an early example is the Schleicher Ka 2 Rhönschwalbe .
Largely constructed of glassfibre, it is built around a single spar with a glassfibre-covered D-box ahead of it and is fabric covered behind the spar.
Originally these struts could pivot through 90° to act as airbrakes, as on the PW-2, but they were later replaced with upper surface spoilers, inboard of the ailerons and positioned immediately behind the spars.
The glass-epoxy composite fuselage is in two parts, a forward cabin which ends with a fairing under the wing trailing edge and a slender, square section tailboom just below the wing.
The Bakcyl lands on a fixed, fully exposed monowheel under the forward fuselage, aft of mid-chord, which has a shock absorber and a brake.
The Bakcyl's tail is conventional and similar to that of the PW-2, with a rectangular plan, canvas-covered tailplane mounted on top of the end of the tailboom and carrying a one-piece, narrow-chord elevator.
Pond of Drummond is a small shallow freshwater artificial loch in the grounds of Drummond Castle, and is orientated on an east to west orientation, being located 2 miles southeast of Crieff in Perth and Kinross.
On images of the small loch, when viewing oblique aerial images, the outline of a planned village can clearly been seen.
The area covered by the loch was once a cultivated valley that was seized by the Forfeit Estates Commission after the Jacobite rising of 1745 and were portioned out as a reward to those who supported the government.
When all those folk had died, Lady Jean (Lady Perth) converted the small valley into a loch, sometime between 1785 and 1800.
The plan of the loch shows a street on an east to west alignment, with houses on either side of the street.
The west end of the loch below the water line are not visible due to the increasing depth at that end.
The small river flows out of Pond of Drummond to the east into BennyBeg pond, a long shallow pond on an east to west orientation.

The Yavne-Yam ostracon, also known as the Mesad Hashavyahu ostracon, is an ostracon containing a written appeal by a field worker to the fortress's governor regarding the confiscation of his cloak, which the writer considers to have been unjust.
In the inscription, the worker makes his appeal to the governor on the basis of both the garment's undeserved confiscation and by implication, the biblical law regarding holding past sundown a person's cloak as collateral for a debt (; cf.
Some scholars argue that the ostracon bears the first known extra-Biblical reference to the Hebrew Sabbath day of rest, but the issue is debated.
The ostracon was found under the floor of a room adjacent to the guardhouse/gate complex, is approximately 20 cm high by 16.5 cm wide, and contains 14 visible lines of text.
Due to breaks in the ostracon and a missing lower right section, Naveh states that there are too few letters available in line 13 to make an educated guess what it said.
The same might likely be said of lines 11 through 14, which have been reconstructed, and a line 15 which is missing.
Predrag Ristić (; born 27 May 1996) better known by his stage name Meta, is a Serbian music producer, composer, DJ and singer.
Nehemiah 7 is the seventh chapter of the Book of Nehemiah in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, or the 17th chapter of the book of Ezra-Nehemiah in the Hebrew Bible, which treats the book of Ezra and book of Nehemiah as one book.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes Codex Leningradensis (1008).
Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; formula_1; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: formula_1; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; formula_1; 5th century).
An ancient Greek book called 1 Esdras (Greek: ) containing some parts of 2 Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah is included in most editions of the Septuagint and is placed before the single book of Ezra–Nehemiah (which is titled in Greek: ).
The wall around Jerusalem was not the ultimate security but 'a necessary defense and dynamic distinctive symbol' of the Jews among the surrounding nations, so the inhabitants have to participate in the system to protect the city.
The defensive measures implemented by Nehemiah, Hanani and Hananiah were only for short-term, because the bigger goal was to reestablish Jerusalem as the center of Jewish culture and religious purity, so it has to be repopulated from some people who then lived outside the city.
Nehemiah was looking for Jews with veriable heritage to send some family members to populate Jerusalem, but instead of starting a census, he used the original listing of those who had been the first to return which speficied clan origins.
This list is almost an exact replication of the one in Ezra 2, with slight variations likely due to the transcribing and transmission over time.
Sergei Schukin acquired it from the latter in 1904 and in 1918 it was acquired by the 1st Museum of New Western Painting.
In the 1990s, she was a member and coordinator of the Gender Advisor Group at the World Bank, where she coordinated the research program on ecology and sustainability in DAWN, a feminist network of researchers and activists from the South.

As his second wife her five children were not heirs to his lands but they were eligible to be heirs to hers so she and they retained her family name.
When her husband died at Poitou in 1230 during the English invasion of France, de Verdun claimed her inheritances and paid the taxes to be allowed remain unmarried.
As time went on however the pressure to marry again increased until de Verdun decided to become a nun by 1242 she was a member of the community at Grace Dieu.

Luis Estévez (c.1930 – November 28, 2014) was a Cuban-born American fashion designer and costume designer, active between 1951 until 1997.
His family had many generations of distinguished relatives and were descend from the De Gálvez family, whom the city of Galveston, Texas was named and from a founder of the city of St. Augustine.
His mother frequently had American magazines and adored French haute couture, she encouraged and influenced Estévez love of fashion and drawing.
At age 10, he was sent to Pennsylvania to live with his aunt and her family because multiple kidnapping attempts were made on him in Cuba.
He went on to study Architecture in college at the University of Havana, and upon leaving college, he moved to New York City.
In New York City he started to focus on Fashion and he attended Traphagen School of Fashion, graduating in 1951 in Costume Design.
While in school he got a job in window display at Lord & Taylor department store, the job did not pay much but it gave him experience.
His mother, who divorced from his father, financially supported Estévez, which allowed him to enjoy New York nightlife and meet New York society including at the nightclub El Morocco.
Lilly Daché, milliner and fashion designer hired Estévez to create a few designs while he was in school but he realized he was not yet experienced enough in his career and quit that job.
Estévez and his girlfriend Betty Dew took a 1951 boat trip to France together, where he befriended more established designers including Hubert de Givenchy, Jacques Fath, and French Vogue editor Françoise de Langlade.
His ready to wear clothing was moderately priced when compared to haute couture clothing, making it easy to sell in stores.
By 1972, he was designing under a private label with actress Eva Gabor and for Universal Studios designing costumes for film and television.
He dressed many important people in his career including Betty Ford, Lynda Bird Johnson, Nancy Reagan, Eva Gabor, Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Natalie Wood, Carol Channing, among others.
In 1975, Estévez met with Betty Ford in Palm Springs, while she was serving as the First Lady of the United States.
Ford and Estévez discussed the creation of a line of clothing for Ford that could later be released as part of his own label, after she wore it.
In the 1980s he opened the Estévez boutique on Melrose Place in Los Angeles, partnering Allan Carr which remained open until 1992.
In 1996, he returned to California in nearby Montecito in Santa Barbara County and with a new set of investors, he opened a new boutique which closed within one year due to a legal dispute with the investors.
Estévez work is featured in various public museum collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum, Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Library of Congress, among others.
Additionally he had many affairs with both men and women despite being married to Betty Dew, and was known to have had affairs with fashion designer Halston and actress Ethel Merman.
The son of the Reverend William Barlow (son of Admiral Robert Barlow) and Louisa Adeane, he was born at Canterbury in February 1827.
After graduating from Cambridge, Barlow travelled to Brazil where he visited Pernambuco, Bahia and Rio de Janeiro and the Saint John d'El Rey Mining Company in order to learn about the language and trade of Brazil.
Barlow travelled to the subcontinent in 1863, visiting India and Ceylon, before travelling to Burma to obtain a concession for a railway through Burma to China.
By his own later account, he was introduced to the Burmese king, Mindon Min, who took an instant liking to him.
According to Barlow, he was then appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Burmese army and made the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
What is certain was his presence in Egypt in 1877, where he was captured and imprisoned by the Mahdist forces after landing on the Egyptian coast on a dhow which flew the Ottoman flag.
Upon his return to England, Barlow's fortunes began to decline and he was declared bankrupt for the second time since 1867.
He entered the Enfield Workhouse Infirmary in 1895, where he was to spend the remainder of his life in an apparent state of fantasy.
Barlow was married to Elizabeth Isabella Haworth, with the couple having two children, however, it appears his financial troubles lead to the breakup of his family.

While Mexico doesn't have a long history of producing whisky, there has been a recent push to establish Mexico as a preeminent whisky country with a small group fostering the industry in the country.
This is mainly due to the popularity of other distilled drinks such as tequila and mezcal in the country with the majority of whisky consumed in Mexico being imports from other countries.
Today, most of the Mexican whisky produced originates from Oaxaca in Sierra Norte where heirloom corn is used due to its distinct taste from regular GMO corn.
Despite the fact that the Mexican industry is relatively young, Mexican whisky has seen a rapid growth in popularity thanks in part to millennials who actively seek out new and different products and have helped to push the awareness of the country's whisky.
The popularity of heirloon corn in the production has also helped it to become more in demand despite the rise of cheaper, mass-produced corn.

The Poros Conference in 1828, immediately after the Battle of Navarino, had the primary task of delineating the future borders of the Greek state.
The British strongly opposed the border in western Greece due to their interest in keeping the mainland opposite the British protectorate of the Ionian Islands away from Greek hands, lest it encourage irredentionist aspirations in the islands.

The Holocaust in the Sudetenland resulted in the flight, dispossession, deportation and ultimately death of many of the 24,505 Jews living in the Reichsgau Sudetenland, a Nazi German administrative region established from former Czechoslovak territory annexed after the October 1938 Munich Agreement.
Due to harassment and violence, including during (9–10 November 1938), ninety percent of the Jews had already left the Sudetenland by mid-1939.
During the later years of the war, tens of thousands of Jews and non-Jews were forced laborers in a network of concentration camps in the Sudetenland.
After the war, Jewish communities in the former Sudetenland suffered losses due to the discrimination against German-speaking Jews under the postwar Czechoslovak government, but were partially replenished by arrivals from Carpathian Ruthenia.
In 1930, the Jewish population of the area to be annexed by Germany in 1938 was 29,045, with 24,505 in what would be the Reichsgau Sudetenland Nazi administrative region.
The largest Jewish communities were Teplitz-Schönau (Teplice, 3,213 Jews, 10% of the population), Karlsbad (Karlovy Vary, 2,115, 9%), and Reichenberg (Liberec, 1,392, 3.6%).
Funded by the Nazi Party, it won two-thirds of the German vote in the 1935 Czechoslovak parliamentary election and about ninety percent in the 1938 Czechoslovak local elections.
Many Jews fled the violence: Warnsdorf (Varnsdorf) and Komotau (Chomutov), which had hundreds of Jewish residents in the 1930 census, declared themselves before the end of September.
Due to the violence against Austrian Jews after the in March 1938, the Jews of the Sudetenland were aware of the dangers of Nazi rule.
In the wake of the German invasion force, units followed, to become the main instrument of Nazi repression as they had done after the , according to lists of anti-Nazis already developed by the SD ().
The Gestapo office in Eger reported 971 arrests by 14 October, and the Karlsbad office reported 1,157 arrests by 7 November.
Many of the people arrested (10,000 by early 1939) were held in detention centers in the Sudetenland, while thousands were deported to concentration camps in Germany.
Many Jews who had not already fled, often those elderly or with significant property that they did not wish to abandon, were visited by the Gestapo shortly after the German invasion and forced to sign papers promising to leave within six days.
German authorities sought to use the refugees, who mostly fled to the rump Czechoslovak state, to destabilize that state and increase antisemitism among Czechs.
Some refugees were sent back by the Czechoslovak authorities and had to wait in the no-man's land for their cases to be resolved, despite the fact that the Munich Agreement entitled them to retain their Czechoslovak citizenship.
Most synagogues—including those in Teplitz-Schönau, Reichenberg, Troppau (Oprava), Jägerndorf (Krnov), Falkenau (Sokolov) and Brüx (Most)—were destroyed; others, such as those in Aussig and Tetschen (Děčín), were damaged with smashed windows.
Those who did not manage to emigrate were deported from the Protectorate, especially in the first transports to the Łódź Ghetto.
A month later, Adolf Hitler signed an edict establishing the Reichsgau Sudetenland, which included the northern part of the lands annexed by Germany in 1938.
Other areas were annexed to existing Nazi German administrative regions, including Lower Bavaria, Oppeln (in Upper Silesia), and former Austrian areas.
On 14 October 1938, Hermann Göring issued an edict for the Aryanization of Jewish property, which affected the entire Reich, including the newly annexed Sudetenland.
Following , they were required to pay a 20% tax on all assets, and in December, the Nuremberg Laws were extended to the Sudetenland.
In 1930, Jews had owned some four to five thousand businesses in the Sudetenland, providing employment for many residents in the region.
Nevertheless, the transition caused considerable chaos; in Teplitz-Schönau, where Jews had owned 89 of the 213 businesses, 200 stores were empty and work in most of the expropriated businesses must have ceased.
Aryanization was characterized by conflicts between local Sudeten Germans and the : the former wanted to preserve jobs at Jewish-owned factories, while the latter sought to use Aryanization in order to leverage the Sudeten economy for war production.
As a result, local Germans were mostly allowed to Aryanize factories in the textile and food sectors, which were mostly outdated, while Germans from elsewhere were invited to take over factories in industries important to the war effort.
This result fueled resentment to the Sudeten Germans, who had hoped to reap the profits of the expropriations, which they considered just recompense for perceived suffering under the Czechoslovak government.
The total annexation of the Sudetenland to the Reich and the flight of the Jewish population enabled the process to proceed faster than elsewhere, and it was mostly complete by the end of 1939.
The total amount of money obtained by Aryanization was estimated at 1 billion Reichsmarks, worth around USD$250 million at the time or $4.5 billion in 2019 dollars.
By 1939, Jews over the age of 14 were required to work at forced labor projects, even though their numbers were not enough to stem the local labor shortage.
Due to low numbers, not a single forced-labor camp for local Jews was set up in the Sudetenland, despite the extensive systems that existed elsewhere.
At the beginning of 1943, nineteen of 177 Schmelt camps were located in the Sudetenland; detainees were housed under conditions similar to those in the concentration camps.
In Postelberg, near Saatz, a forced-labor camp existed from 1943 to 1945, and in December 1944, two forced-labor camps were set up near Komotau.
Both camps housed Jewish men from Prague protected from deportation by mixed marriages, the non-Jewish husbands of Jewish women from the Protectorate, and from the Protectorate.
In 1942, the first subcamps of Flossenbürg, Ravensbrück and Gross-Rosen were established in the Sudetenland, many of them derived from the system of Organization Schmelt.
The system was greatly expanded during late 1944 because Sudetenland was one of the last areas to be relatively safe from Allied bombing and therefore favored for the relocation of war industry.
In particular, it was home to many of the subcamps of Flossenbürg, which itself was just over the pre-war border in the Upper Palatinate of Bavaria.
One of the largest subcamps in the Sudetenland was Leitmeritz, a subcamp of Flossenbürg organized by the (fighter staff) for aircraft and other armaments production.
Thousands of Jews arrived at these camps in the last year of the war, both Hungarian Jews deported during the summer of 1944 and other Jews from the evacuation transports from Auschwitz, Gross-Rosen, and other concentration camps in 1945.
Extensive death marches took place in northern Bohemia in the last weeks of the war, delivering 12,829 prisoners to Theresienstadt from mid-April.
About 100 Jews from Aussig were forced to settle in Schönwald Castle, and dozens of Jews from Leitmeritz (Litoměřice) were moved to Dlaschkowitz Castle.
The second wave of transports deported another 460 people to Theresienstadt Ghetto in the Protectorate, from 13 November 1942 through the end of 1944.
By 1 January 1945, 382 Jews remained in Reichsgau Sudetenland: 53 in non-privileged mixed marriages, 275 in privileged mixed marriages, 52 , and two Jews with foreign citizenship.
Beginning in January 1945, the Reich Main Security Office planned the deportation of these Jews; 157 were deported to Theresienstadt between 6 February and 7 March.
Those who had declared German nationality on the 1930 census were stripped of their citizenship and had to reapply for it; in the meantime, they were completely ineligible for restitution or any social benefits, leaving many mired in poverty.
About ninety percent of the three million Germans from the Czech lands were deported during the expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia.
The deportation of Jews was abruptly halted in September 1946 due to unfavorable media coverage and objections from the military governor of the American occupation zone of Germany.
Jewish communities in the former Sudetenland were repopulated by some of the 8,000 Jews from Carpathian Ruthenia part of Czechoslovakia before 1939, it was annexed to Soviet Ukraine in 1945.
Religiously, they tended to be Orthodox Jews in contrast with the German Jews who favored Reform Judaism, and tended to hold separate services.

CR7 Motorsports (also sometimes known as Grant County Mulch Racing) is an American professional stock car racing team that currently competes in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series, fielding the No.
Rohrbaugh's family team made their first NASCAR starts in 2014 in what was then the K&N Pro Series East while also competing full-time in the X-1R Pro Cup Series that year.
The other race they entered that year was the East Series’ first and to-date only race at Motordrome Speedway, where Rohrbaugh and his team earned their first top-10 with a 9th place finish.
They attempted mostly the same schedule, but with Motordrome and Richmond off the schedule for 2016, they attempted the new race at Mobile instead.
Rohrbaugh crashed out in two of his five starts and finished in the top-20 (two 19ths and a 13th) in his remaining races.
In addition to their K&N East races in 2016, Rohrbaugh's team made their ARCA debut that year, running the last two races of the year at Kentucky and Kansas.
Exactly the same as how he did in his first East Series start, Rohrbaugh finished 13th in his ARCA Series debut.
The team started out the 2018 season now driving a Chevrolet SS but crashed at Daytona and rebuilt the same car in time to attempt Talladega.
However, Rohrbaugh eventually decided to focus on the Truck Series team, and they cut back their ARCA schedule for the rest of the 2019 season.
For 2020, the team returned to ARCA, entering a car in the series' testing at January in January with newcomer Jason Kitzmiller driving the No.
Returning for the race at Texas in November, now driving a Ford truck, Rohrbaugh was able to make the race again, and he impressively picked up another top-20, finishing 17th.
The team did announce they would be attempting Homestead-Miami Speedway, but they changed their mind in order to focus on preparing for the ARCA season-opener at Daytona in 2019.
He crashed in each of the first three races he did qualify for, which were at both Texas races (in March and June) and Charlotte.
Despite not qualifying for some of his races and not finishing in others, he scored a top-10 finish in the second Martinsville race in October.
air-cooled, inverted inline engine, though its unobtainability led to the SAM-10bis, fitted instead with a Voronezh MV-6, a similar six cylinder engine.
The engine cowling was light alloy, as were the cabin roof frames, but the rest of the fuselage had a wooden structure, the forward part covered with ply and the rest with fabric.
The undercarriage was fixed and conventional with mainwhels on oleo struts, enclosed in aerofoil section trouser fairings, and a skid under the tail.
The date of the SAM-10s first flight is not known but it underwent two months of official tests from early June 1938.
In response two SAM-10bis, powered by the more available but less powerful MV-6 and with unaltered dimensions but one less seat, were built.
The reduced power reduced performance, for example the time taken to reach rose from 2.7 to 3.2 minutes; no further orders were forthcoming.

Kitab al-Tawhid (), is the main Sunni theological book, and the primary source of the Maturidi school of thought; written by the Hanafi scholar Abu Mansur al-Maturidi (d. 333/944).
Kitab al-Tawhid is monumental work which very nicely expounded the tenets and beliefs of the Ahl al-Sunna wa al-Jama'a and refuted the stands of the opponents, such as Karramites, Mu'tazilites, Qadariyya, Majus, Sophists, Dualisms, and Christians.
Al-Maturidi presents the epistemological foundations of his teaching and provides detailed arguments in defence of Monotheism, including his cosmological doctrines - such as proofs for the creation and ontology of the Universe.
The editors of the book, Bekir Topaloğlu and Muhammed Aruçi, are invited by the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance to Iran on this occasion.
Joseph Schacht, in his article that announces the discovery of Kitab al-Tawhid, described the Cambridge manuscript as an authentic book by al-Maturidi.
Meanwhile, the one surviving manuscript of Kitab al-Tawhid was published by Fathallah Khalif in 1970, and research by students of Islamic theology began based on it.

S. Laurel Weldon is a Canadian and American political scientist, currently a Distinguished Professor of Political Science at Simon Fraser University.
She is a democratic and feminist theorist, known for studies of the cross-national evolution of women's rights, policies on the prevention of violence against women, and the inclusion of women in political decision-making.
Weldon's mother, Sirje Weldon, was the Atlantic regional director for the Canadian Bankers Association, and her father, K. Laurence Weldon, was a professor of mathematics and statistics at Simon Fraser University.
Weldon attended Simon Fraser University, graduating in 1991 with a BA in political science and sociology and a minor in philosophy.
She then completed an MA in political science at the University of British Columbia in 1992, and a PhD in political science at the University of Pittsburgh in 1999, where she was advised by Iris Marion Young.
This work provided evidence that social movements can be an effective means for systematically disadvantaged groups to promote their collective aims, and that in some cases strong social movements can provide more effective safeguards against negative political outcomes than the official inclusion of group members in formal institutions like legislatures.
The book won the American Political Science Association's 2012 Victoria Schuck Award for the best book published on women and politics.
Weldon's work has been noted for contributing to diverse subfields, particularly for developing political theory while also contributing new ideas in how to study political phenomena with rigorous empirical methods.
In 2018, Weldon moved to Simon Fraser University from Purdue University, where she had been a Distinguished Professor and the Director of the Purdue Policy Research Institution.
The Carabinieri Foreign Ministry Command (, officially shortened in CDO CC MAE) is the Carabinieri unit in charge for providing security and services to the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Before the establishment of the dedicated Carabinieri organisation of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, two Carabinieri units with duties related to the foreign affairs functioned: the Carabinieri MAE detachment, which performed duties of surveillance, security, cypher, and courier service, and the Carabinieri Emigration Unit, assigned to the emigration affairs.
Until 1963, the units were at the disciplinary dependencies of the Carabinieri Legion of Rome, when they were transferred to the Special Units Department.
The Unit was placed under the functional dependencies of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and under the disciplinary dependencies of the Carabinieri Legion of Rome.
The Unit was organised on a Command Nucleus, a Surveillance Nucleus, a Security Nucleus and an Emigration Nucleus on which six Sub-nucleus depended.
The Security Nucleus passed under the command of the Commander of the Emigration Nucleus and the latter also assumed the role of Deputy Commander.
On 1 May 1982, the Unit, now commanded by a Colonel, was initially placed within the VI Brigade; subsequently, on 15 November 1987, it passed under the XII Brigade, assuming the current name of Carabinieri Command Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Command Office included an Operations and Logistics Section and a Secretariat and Personnel Section, while the Security and Surveillance Office was divided into a Headquarters team and a Foreign team.
In 1999, the Command was placed under the functional dependencies of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, through the Secretary-General of the Ministry.
In 2001, with the transformation of the Carabinieri into an autonomous Service, the XII Brigade was transformed into the Carabinieri Specialist Units Division.
On 1 January 2004, while remaining at the disciplinary dependence of the Specialist Units Division, the leadership of the Carabinieri Ministry of Foreign Affairs Command was assigned to a Division General.
The activity of the Carabinieri Command of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs includes numerous aspects: the Command provides security and surveillance of the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, security and surveillance of foreign offices and participates in the activities of the Ministry.
Over the years, surveillance has also been extended to Villa Madama, the representative seat of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and to Palazzo Borromeo, which houses the Embassy of Italy to the Holy See.
The diplomatic activities are integrated by special Carabinieri personnel included in the various Directorates General, in the General Secretariat, in the Inspectorate General, in the Crisis Unit and in the Diplomatic Ceremonial of the Republic.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Italian diplomatic offices abroad are manned by 377 Carabinieri, to which are to be added 93 units in service at the offices of the military attachés; finally, 152 Carabinieri are employed in the 14 high-risk offices, with the duties of protection and escort of the Ambassador and diplomatic officials.

The infernal machine () is a homemade 25-barrel volley gun built by Giuseppe Marco Fieschi and used in Fieschi's failed assassination attempt on King Louis Philippe I of France on July 28, 1835.
Each barrel was originally believed to have been loaded with eight bullets and twenty lead pellets, but a thorough inspection of the misfired barrels by Jean Le Page, Arquebusier Ordinaire to the King, showed that each barrel contained about of gunpowder, 6 to 8 balls, two layers of wadding, and 13 to 14 slugs.
The weapon, built of wood and metal, was constructed in a room overlooking the street on the third floor of N. 50 Boulevard du Temple, where it was later used for the failed assassination of Louis Philippe I.
In combination with a trail of gunpowder, the barrels could all be fired at once with a single fuse (in Fieschi's case, charcoal was used).
French artillery officers, who inspected the machine after the assassination attempt, speculated that if Fieschi had been an artillery man or otherwise known more about designing weaponry, he would have been successful in his assassination attempt of the king and his staff.
The gun was positioned on the windowsill in Fieschi's three-room lodging on the third floor of N. 50 Boulevard du Temple in Paris, overlooking the street on the route that the king and his convoy were expected to take as part of the yearly Paris National Guard inspection.
The gun fired a volley of approximately 400 projectiles, even though four barrels misfired, four barrels burst, and one of the 25 barrels was not loaded as it did not have a touch hole and could not be fired.
The king only suffered a graze to the forehead, a minor injury, but 18 people were either immediately killed or later succumbed to their wounds.
An additional 22 people were injured, and at least four of these had limbs amputated due to the severity of their injuries.
He fled from his lodgings and was later captured by authorities after they followed the trail of blood from his injuries.
A replica of the weapon is on display at the Musée de la préfecture de police, the museum of police history.

In Hinduism, Parvati, wife of Shiva, once closed the eyes of her husband playfully in a flower garden at their abode atop Mount Kailash.
Although only a moment for the gods, all light was taken from the universe, and the earth, in turn, was submerged in darkness for years.
Parvati performed penance with other devotees of Shiva, and her husband appeared as a column of fire at the top of Annamalai hills, returning light to the world.
Another legend is that once, while Vishnu and Brahma contested for superiority, Shiva appeared as a flame, and challenged them to find his source.
Brahma took the form of a swan, and flew to the sky to see the top of the flame, while Vishnu became the boar Varaha, and sought its base.
Neither Brahma nor Vishnu could find the source, and while Vishnu conceded his defeat, Brahma lied and said he had found the pinnacle.
Since Shiva manifested himself in the form of fire in this place, this name Arunachalam came to be associated with Annamalai hill and the town.
The recorded history of the town dates back to the ninth century, as seen from a Chola inscriptions in the temple.
The inscriptions from the Chola king record various gifts like land, sheep, cow and oil to the temple commemorating various victories of the dynasty.
There are 48 inscriptions from the Sangama Dynasty (1336–1485), two inscriptions from Saluva Dynasty, and 55 inscriptions from Tuluva Dynasty (1491–1570) of the Vijayanagara Empire, reflecting gifts to the temple from their rulers.
The inscriptions in the temple from the Vijayanagara kings indicate emphasis on administrative matters and local concerns, which contrasts the inscriptions of the same rulers in other temples like Tirupathi.
The majority of the gift related inscriptions are for land endowments, followed by goods, cash endowments, cows and oil for lighting lamps.
The town of Tiruvannamalai was at a strategic crossroads during the Vijayanagara Empire, connecting sacred centers of pilgrimage and military routes.
There are inscriptions that show the area as an urban center before the precolonial period, with the town developing around the temple, similar to the Nayak ruled cities like Madurai.
As the Mughal empire came to an end, the Nawab lost control of the town, with confusion and chaos ensuing after 1753.
Subsequently, there were periods of both Hindu and Muslim stewardship of the temple, with Muraru Raya, Krishna Raya, Mrithis Ali Khan, and Burkat Ullakhan besieging the temple in succession.

In the 1880s, the Port Jackson Steamship Company Limited had been expanding its paddle steamer fleet and services to Manly from Sydney (Circular Quay).
In response, local interests set up the Manly Co-operative Steam Ferry Limited in 1893 that ran a service with chartered single-ended screw steamers.
Her 100 hp engine, built by Fawcett, Preston and Company (of England), was the first triple expansion steam engines in a Manly ferry.
As a result of this penalty, the ferry was equipped with iron gates – something that would be standard on later ferries – and turnstiles were erected at both wharves.
Crossing Sydney Heads in a gale with fifty passengers, heavy waves broke over her near South Head and the engines stopped and could not be restarted.
In 1922, she set a record time of 22 minutes for the trip to Manly, a time which has not been beaten by any conventional ferry since (hydrofoils did the run in 15 minutes).
In early 1924, she was advertised for sale, eventually selling for six hundred pounds to W M Ford of Berrys Bay.

The two schools are separated by less than in Cincinnati, making the archrivalry one of the closest major rivalries in the country.
The first men's college basketball game was played in 1927, which has become the most famous sport in the rivalry, known as the Crosstown Shootout.
Combined with a metro population of around 2.1 million and the schools being a mere 3 miles apart, the rivalry runs deep for many in the Greater Cincinnati region.
The original contest in the Crosstown Shootout was a much awaited match up between the schools, as Cincinnati helped Xavier dedicated the newly opened Schmidt Fieldhouse in 1928.
Over time, the series began to develop an imbalance as Cincinnati became a national powerhouse in basketball and enrollments began to quickly grow compared to Xavier in the 1950's and 60's.
Although Cincinnati fans will point to the all-time series dominance, Xavier fans will be quick to retort that the Musketeers have won 12 of the last 18 contests.
The game would be played each year at Cincinnati's Nippert Stadium as the venue had a larger capacity to accommodate the cross city showdown compared to Xavier's Corcoran Stadium.
Xavier's student council would later offer $500 to Cincinnati to cover costs and suggested a trophy to award for the series.
In the 1960's and 1970's Xavier's team experienced a downturn with the Xavier board of trustees finally voting to eliminate the football program, which had caused financial strain on the university after the 1973 season.
However, similarly to the men's contest the rivalry has tilted more towards Xavier recently with the Musketeers winning 7 of the last 11 games.
Googins who was the previous manager of Xavier from 2006–2017, and his arrival to Clifton brought additional attention to the contest.
On May 18, 2019 the teams played their final season game at Great American Ballpark immediately following the Cincinnati Reds game that same day.

In July 2019, Rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD2), a highly contagious disease nicknamed 'rabbit foot and mouth' which is fatal to Leporidae (rabbits and hares), was discovered in wild hares in County Clare, County Wexford and County Wicklow.
As a result, the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht suspended capture and tagging licences issued to the ICC and affiliated clubs.
In August 2019, restrictions were lifted in areas outside of 25km radius prohibited zones surrounding discovery locations which was welcomed by the Club.
A study in 2010 by Dr Neil Reid at Queen’s University Belfast found that the density of hares in ICC preserves was eighteen times higher than in the wild in Ireland.
Chen Geng (; 27 February 1903 - 16 March 1961) was a Chinese military officer who served as a senior general in the People's Liberation Army.
Enlisting in the warlord's army at the age of 13, Chen Geng joined the Communist Party of China in 1922 and was accepted to Whampoa Military Academy in 1924.
Once the victory obtained, he went to Vietnam to help Hồ Chí Minh against the French during the First Indochina War and then participated in the Korean War with the People's Volunteer Army.
His grandfather Chen Yihuai () was an officer in the Xiang Army led by Zeng Guofan, a statesman, military general, and Confucian scholar of the late Qing dynasty (1644–1911).
After his retirement, Chen Yihuai bought agricultural land with the reward, and by the time Chen Geng was born, his family owned several hundred mu and became one of the wealthiest in the region.
At 13, his father arranged a marriage with a daughter two years older, but Cheng refused the marriage and left his family to join the warlord's army.
It is a disillusioned Chen who left the army at 18 and found a job at the Hunan Railway Bureau as a receptionist.
In October 1925, during the second campaign against the local warlord Chen Jiongming, Chiang suffered a stunning, Chiang was covered with shame but refused to flee, trying to kill himself.
He thus won Chiang's confidence more, however, when the Kuomintang broke ties with the Communists in 1927, Chen began to work as a mole for the Communists in Shanghai.
In March 1933, Chen was sent to Shanghai to treat his leg wounds, but Chen was captured in Shanghai by the Kuomintang.
From October 1934 to December1935, he fought against the Kuomintang army in Guizhou and then in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu in 1936.
When the Second Sino-Japanese War broke out, Chen was appointed commander-in-chief of the 386th Brigade, which he led in victories against the Imperial Japanese army, and his brigade was considered the best in China.
He led his troops in important battles of the Chinese Civil War such as the Shangdang Campaign, the Datong-Puzhou Campaign, Linfen–Fushan Campaign and Lüliang Campaign, the Campaign of the eastern foothills of Funiu Mountain, and the Huaihai Campaign.
At the request of Chen's longtime friend Hồ Chí Minh, he entered French Indochina to help Võ Nguyên Giáp launch a series of attacks on isolated French bases along the Chinese border in 1950.
Back from French Indochina, he left for the Korean War and served as commander and political commissioner of the 3rd Army Group of the People's Volunteer Army.
His brother-in-law, Tan Zheng, who was married to Chen's sister, Chen Qiuju, was strongly influenced by Chen to join the Communists and became a senior general at the same time.
Returning from the Korean War, Chen founded the PLA Military Engineering Institute in Harbin, engaging in the development of technological weapons.
Teraupo'o ( – 23 December 1918) was a Tahitian (Maohi) resistance leader of the islands of Raiatea and Tahaa who fought off French rule from 1887 to 1897 during the decade long Leeward Islands War.
The Society Islands were evangelized by British missionaries and converted to Protestant Christianity by the London Missionary Society (LMS) in the early 19th century.
Local chiefs and district governors (tāvana) gain greater power and autonomy at the expense of the nominal island monarchs especially in Raiatea-Tahaa.
A decade before Teraupo'o's birth, the neighboring Kingdom of Tahiti had been subjugated under a protectorate in the Franco-Tahitian War (1844–1847) but the kingdoms of the Leeward Islands including Raiatea-Tahaa were ensured independence by France and Great Britain under the Jarnac Convention or the Anglo-French Convention of 1847.
According to French historian Auguste Charles Eugène Caillot, Teraupo'o grew to resent the French after he was kicked by a French captain or pilot in Raiatea.
Tahitoe was deposed by his subjects for requesting the protectorate and his daughter and successor Queen Tehauroa unsuccessfully attempted to enlist the protection of the British to preserve the independence of Raiatea in accordance with the Convention of 1847.
On 16 March 1888, the French annexed Raiatea and Tahaa after formal negotiation between Great Britain and France abrogated the 1847 Convention.
Teraupo'o refused to comply with the order of King Tamatoa VI to surrender to the French and build up a resistance force in 1887.
Two French warships and government schooner was landed in Raiatea to override the ruling of the native courts to the advantage of a few European residents disgruntled with the recent economic depression of the copra and cotton trade.
The French established themselves at the former capital of Uturoa and appointed a résident, Marie Maximilien Gustave Alby, and had the support of Tahaa chief Tavana who became known as the viceroy of Raiatea-Tahaa.
The conflict leading to the annexation of the Leeward Islands became known as the Leewards War, the Raiatean rebellion or the Teraupo’o War.
Jose Jordan, son of American settler and blacksmith Joseph Jordan, was a partisan of Teraupo'o, and was exiled for his involvement.
From the few surviving letters of Teraupo'o, he was known to have been resolute in the belief that Great Britain would intervene on the behalf of their cause and rescue the natives from the French.
In 1895, Queen Tuarii traveled to the British protectorate Rarontonga to seek help from the British Resident Frederick Moss who refused to meet with her.
French Protestant missionary Pastor Gaston Brunel, who took charge of the Protestant schools on the island in 1894 and was largely sympathetic to the natives, visited the camp of the resistance leader often and gain valuable insight into the rebellion.
French artist Paul Gauguin, who witnessed the final phase of the rebellion, noted that diplomacy failed to persuade the natives of Raiatea to surrender.
Teraupo'o and the rebels of Tahaa and the district of Tevaitoa refused the call, prompting the French to land and engage the remaining armed natives.
They evaded the French expeditionary force by hiding in the cave in the Faneuhi mountain (located at ) and rolling a boulder in front of the entrance during the day.
The hiding place was discovered on the night of 15 February and 16 February 1897 when light from a fire within the cave gave the location away.
The captured resistance leaders were deported to Nouméa, New Caledonia and their followers were deported to the Ua Huka in the Marquesas Islands while others were conscripted as forced laborers to improve the roads of Raiatea.
The game has a pair of 7x12 grids, where the pieces (called Pochis or Nyaas) fall in pairs (similar to Puyo Puyo).
This work was announced under a commercial alliance between Compile and Taito, and was initially scheduled to run on the NAOMI arcade boards in mid-September 2002.
However, after that, the launch was repeatedly delayed due to Compile bankruptcy, finally being launched in late 2003 for the Neo Geo.
The characters that were announced at the time of the development of the NAOMI version that were not released in the arcade version, were added as additional characters for the PS2 version released by Bandai.

Helluva began his career as a rap artist and producer for the independent record labels Made West Entertainment and Watchout Entertainment.
It is native to the United States where it is restricted to the South Central region in the states of Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.
His first works dealt with personal identity, violence and the limits of pain; his later works are of a more critical, political and social nature.
Azcona's works are exhibited the Contemporary Art Center in Málaga, the Bogotá Museum of Modern Art, the Houston Art League, the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in New York and the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid.
His work has also been exhibited at the Asian Art Biennale in Dhaka and Taipei, the Lyon Biennale, the Miami International Performance Festival and the Bangladesh Live Art Biennale.
Azcona's first performances were created in the streets of Pamplona in 2005 when he was a student in the Pamplona School of Art.
His intent with his works is to question the viewer and force them to react, making his own body the representation of critical and political subjects.
The themes of most of his performances are mostly autobiographical and focused on issues such as abandonment, violence, abuse, child abuse, mental illness, deprivation of liberty, prostitution, life and death.
Similarly, during the installation where another artist stayed continually in a garbage container at the Lyon Biennale, people spoke in favor of ending the work.
During a Miami exhibition in 2015, twelve children walked into a performance inside the art gallery with firearms in their hands, with was a critique of the laws and the permissibility of weapons in the United States.
A few months later he performed a new work in Chicago, where he denounced the political and ideological nature of Donald Trump.
Its exhibition inside the Monument, built in order to exalt Franco, Mola and Sansurjo, was considered offensive by the far-right conservatives.
The Catholic Church sued Azcona before the Superior Court of Justice of Navarra for three crimes and alleged desecration and blasphemy.
In the same case the Delegation of the Government in Navarra, controlled by the Popular Party at the time, and the Association of Christian Lawyers, also made criminal complaints against Azcona.
Whilst awaiting the case being heard by the Supreme Court, the Association of Christian Lawyers, in this instance acting alone, started an action against Spain in the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg for not condemning Azcona, and according to them, to protect him.
Each time the work was shown, the complaint was re-formulated, so Azcona was cited in the Court of Justice of Palma de Mallorca and in the High Court of Justice of Catalonia in Barcelona.
When the High Court of Justice of Catalonia issued a judicial arrest warrant in 2019 after Azcona failed to appear before the court for the third time, Azcona went into exile and settled in Lisbon, Portugal.
In his exhibition Still Life, Azcona recreated, in the form of sculptures, performance and hyper-realistic installations, current and historical situations of violence in diverse themes such as historical memory, terrorism and conflict.
Two years later, in 2018, he was denounced by the Francisco Franco National Foundation for exposing in one of his works a detonation report, signed by an architect, of the Monument of the Valley of the Fallen.
Azcona was inspired by his biological mother, a prostitute, and sought to empathise with her and with the moment of his own conception.
Azcona offered himself naked to the galleries' visitors on a bed with white sheets, so that they could exchange intimacy or have sexual relations with him.
The former exhibiting in museums such as Palais de Tokyo and the Perrotin Gallery, and also displayed at the Piasa auction house in Paris.
In this, physical or even sexual contact with the artist was required to enter the venue of the event, which was held at Grace Exhibition Space and the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in New York City.
This work was chosen by critic Hrag Vartanian as one of the top ten of the year in New York City.
Thie performance emerged, as with the rest of his sex-themed works, as an exercise in empathy with his own biological mother.
It was also a social critique, where the artist explored the limits of his body by repeating patterns of sexual abuse, which occurred in his own childhood and in the life of his mother.
On this occasion, Azcona offered his naked body, anesthetized by the use of narcotics, so that the visitor could use it freely.
By letter, the artist invited the organizations, groups, and entities that had threatened his life to the installation, where a loaded firearm was offered and Azcona stood exposed on a raised platform.
The actual installation, as if it were a piece of land art, currently remains along the wall, and has been exhibited in different countries through photographic and video art.
He gathered two hundred and forty-two wafers, which was the number of cases of pederasty reported in the north of Spain during the previous decade.
At the end of 2015, a section of the work was selected to be part of a retrospective exhibition of the artists works inside the city of Pamplona's Monument to the Fallen in the Spanish Civil War.
The work was located on the altar of the old monument, which was formerly the cathedral of Pamplona, but at the time of Azconas' show, it was desacralized.
In the work, Azcona presented more than two hundred actual cases of pedophilia in museums and galleries in various cities in Spain.
The artist endured more than five years of judicial proceedings for complaints about the work at many different courts and judicial entities.
In the works, Azcona used representative icons of various religions, such as the Koran, the Bible, the Torah and other objects of a sacred character.
In the most controversial of them, Azcona performs for nine-hour during which he ingests the pages of a copy of the Koran.
This work provoked the most repercussions of any of the series, and the artist was threatened and persecuted for the piece.
From there, Azcona founded an art collection together with other artists such as Lars Vilks and Bjørn Nørgaard, who had been persecuted and threatened for their creations.
With the collective, including Vilks, Nørgaard, the writer Salman Rushdie and the cartoonist Charb (who was killed in the attack on Charlie Hebdo), Azcona carried out performances and conferences for freedom of speech in the Krudttønden between 2013 and 2015.
The performance generated dozens of portraits which, at the closing of the work in 2017, were exhibited with the premise that any of them could be Azcona's father.
The biographical work creates a critical discourse with prostitution and its inheritance, and in the case of Azcona himself, of an unknown father, having been conceived during an act of prostitution.
The work was made up of dozens of original documents of affiliation to dozens of political parties in Spain, membership cards or documentation of fees and payments.
The piece, in which Azcona joins all the Spanish political parties, is a critique of the system that prioritizes economic interest over true ideology.
Descendants of victims make up the installation in a row in front of the monument, all symbolically buried with soil from the garden of one of the participants, where his relatives had been shot.

Esther 2 is the second chapter of the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.
The author of the book is unknown and modern scholars have established that the final stage of the Hebrew text would have been formed by the second century BCE.
This chapter introduces Mordecai and his adoptive daughter, Esther, whose beauty won the approval of the king Ahasuerus, and she was crowned the queen of Persia ().
Given information from Mordecai, Esther warned the king of an assassination plan (verses 21–), so that the would-be assassins were executed on the gallows, and the king owed Mordecai his life.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes Codex Leningradensis (1008).
Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; formula_1; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: formula_1; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; formula_1; 5th century).
To find a replacement for a Persian queen after the deposal of Vashti, the king decided to hold a nationwide contest following the advice of his counselors.
As the requirement to enter the contest is simply her beauty (verse 3), Esther’s status of being Jewish, a descendant of captives (verse 6), without father and mother, did not hinder her entrance to the court.
It also gives a hint of Esther's character: she might possess 'innate cunning' to distinguish herself from her competitors and at the end was chosen to be the queen.
The time referred to in the verse falls in the January or February of 478 BC which would have been very shortly after Xerxes' return to Susa from the war with the Greeks, thus the long delay in replacing Vashti can be explained by the long absence of Xerxes in Greece.

On November 6, 2019, it was announced that nine additional episodes had been ordered bringing the season to a full season of twenty-two episodes.
Thailand is a peninsular country of 514,000 km with over 3,565 km of coastline, 2,700 km on the Gulf of Thailand and 865 km on the Andaman Sea.
In 2001, the average yearly fish consumption was 32.4 kg per capita and provided on average 10–14 grams of protein per capita per day.
Consumption of fish is almost certainly higher than reported, as many fish are caught by smallholders and consumed without passing through the marketplace.
Aquatic animal numbers are dwindling; in the 1980s, small-scale fishers were able to catch up to eight times as many fish than is possible in the 2000s.
The most important species are the green mussel with 44% of all production and the giant tiger prawn with 98% of shrimp production and 40% of total production.
They were the world's leading exporter until a disease called Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) or Hepatopancreatic Acute Necrosis Syndrome {AHPND) hit Thai cultured shrimp production in 2012.
Although the industry has made progress in diagnosing the disease and improving management practices, Thailand's marine shrimp farming sector has not yet recovered to the high levels prior to the outbreak.
The National Statistical Office and the Fisheries Department define SSF as non-powered, outboard-powered, or inboard powered fishing boats of less than 10 gross tonnes (GT) generally operating inshore.
In 2017 the FAO estimates the number of powered fishing boats at 25,002 and small boats powered by oars or sail at 436,594.
However, fish from both the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand are decreasing annually and the industry relies on imported raw material such as pollock, salmon, and other white and red meat fish, Thailand's total fishery exports increased by 4% from US$5.6 billion in 2016 to US$5.8 billion in 2017.
Major exports in 2017 included canned tuna (US$2.1 billion); processed shrimp/prawns (US$1.8 billion); processed squid/cuttlefish (US$345 million); and canned sardines (US$108 million), which account for three-quarters of total fishery exports.
An increasing shortage of domestic raw materials has driven Thailand to become a large importer of fish products to serve its fishery processing for export.
China is the largest supplier of fishery products to Thailand with US$380.2 million in value, followed by India at US$268.7 million, Taiwan at US$256.3 million, Vietnam at US$229.3 million, and the United States at US$229.2 million.
CPUE, a measure of the health of fish stocks, fell by 92% in the Gulf of Thailand between 1961 and 2015.
In 2014, Thailand was 12th in the world (of 215 nations) (1=worst, 215=best) in terms of fish species at risk (96 species).
In 1950, the newly constituted Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations estimated that, globally, about 20 million metric tons of fish (cod, mackerel, tuna) and invertebrates (lobster, squid, clams) were caught.
Thailand is no exception to this decline, despite having had 57,141 fishing vessels and more than 300,000 people employed by the fishing industry.
A twelve-month analysis of the catch composition, landing patterns, and biological aspects of sharks caught by Thai commercial fishing boats in the Andaman Sea off Thailand showed a significant difference from the results of a similar study done in 2004.
Fish prices for the species from which tropical surimi is typically made—itoyori, eso, flying fish, sea bream, and ribbonfish—are rising in spite of stable low wages.
The 1,300 boats to be purchased by the government failed licensing standards after the government imposed more stringent, environmentally friendly laws.
The National Fisheries Association of Thailand says its members will stop fishing unless the government pays for the 1,300 decommissioned trawlers.
On 21 April 2015, the European Union (EU) threatened Thailand, the third-largest seafood exporter in the world, with a trade ban if it did not take action on illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU).
Since 2010, the EU, the world's largest importer of fish products, has taken action against countries that do not follow international overfishing regulations, such as policing their waters for unlicensed fishing vessels and imposing penalties to deter illegal fishing.
Thailand failed to certify the origin and legality of its fish exports to the EU and was given six months, until October 2015, to implement a satisfactory action plan to address the shortcomings.
The protests were short-lived and ended when the government agreed to implement a number of measures to appease the fishermen, including compensation payouts to fishers whose boats were grounded because they did not meet the government's minimum requirements under its new anti-IUU restrictions.
Boats that were barred from fishing because they failed to meet the state's minimum requirements will be given 30 additional fishing days.
The death toll has hovered around 400 for three consecutive years and represents less than 10% of the 5,000 rare species found in Thailand's territorial waters.
The department estimates that there are around 2,000 dolphins and whales, 3,000 sea turtles, and 250 dugongs living in Thai waters.
Bycatch in Thailand is largely unregulated, leaving, for example, only about 100 whale sharks in Thai waters according to the Department of Coastal and Marine Resources.
The period from 2012–2016 saw Thailand export 22,467 tons of shark fins, the primary ingredient in shark fin soup—a Chinese dish signalling wealth and privilege—making it among the world's leading exporters.
A study commissioned by WildAid, found that 57% of urban Thais have consumed shark fin at some point and 61% plan to consume shark fin in the future.
More than 100 Bangkok restaurants serve shark fin soup An uproar ensued in December 2019 when it was discovered that Thai government officials, including the prime and interior ministers, and their coalition party allies, were served shark fin soup at a dinner at the Rajpruek Club in Bangkok.
Conservation groups and academics accused the government of obliviousness regarding environmental issues, especially as the dinner came only a day before Thai Environment Day.
According to a survey on Thai shark fin consumption by WildAid-Thailand, shark fin soup is served at 72% of all weddings, 61% of family gatherings, and 47% of business functions.
Research published by the International Labor Organization (ILO) in 2018 identified persistent labor abuses in the industry, but also noted progress made to eliminate them.
New regulations dictate that fishermen have to be in possession of their own identification documents, receive and sign a written contract, be paid monthly, annual health checks for crew, transportation for crew from foreign ports to Thailand, social security schemes, and certified good working and living conditions.
The Pattani Fisheries Association argues that 99% of trawlers cannot meet C188 demands as their boats either can't be modified or their owners don't have the money to do so.
However, the ILO analysis of gaps between Thai law and the ILO Work in Fishing Convention makes clear that modifications to existing vessels are not required by the convention.
Thai and international unions, civil society organizations, and major U.K. seafood buyers including Lyons Seafood, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, and Waitrose urged the Thai Prime Minister in September 2019 to reject efforts by the Fisheries Association to roll back basic labor protections for workers in the fishing industry.
St Aldhelm's was built as a result of expansion and development of Radipole, which left the parish church of St Ann unable to provide adequate accommodation.
Fundraising for the new church began in 1936, and Mr. Alfred A. Hayward donated a plot of land on Spa Road for the church in memory of his wife in December of that year.
In addition to the funds raised by Radipole's parochial church council, a ladies' working party was also formed to raise funds.
A donation of £200 was received from Dame Violet Wills of Devon, while grants included £249 from Salisbury Diocesan funds and £300 from the Dorset Church Building Committee.
Plans for the new church were drawn up by William Henry Randoll Blacking, and Ralph Fry of Kingsbury Episcopi hired as the builder.
Owing to limited funds, the church was to be built in phases, with the first phase to include three bays] of the nave, the east and west aisles, and a chancel.
The west end of the church was built with temporary walls as two further bays were due to be added in the future.
A number of memorials were also received from the chapel, including oak panels commemorating boys of the college who lost their lives in World War I.
With further fundraising throughout the 1950s, a church hall of Reema construction was built behind the church and dedicated in 1961.
Victor Pike, dedicated a new porch, and clergy and choir vestries, which were all built at the front of the church.
As part of the scheme, a baptistry was also created, the church's pews were replaced by chairs and a new heating system was installed.
The church retains the memorials received from the college chapel, although the fittings received from Christ Church have since been passed on to other churches.

He was forced to flee the country for the last time in 1937 and ended up in the Soviet Union where he fell foul of the institutionalised paranoia that was a feature of Stalin's rule.
It was only with the opening up of previously concealed government records that followed the political collapse of the East German and Soviet dictatorships in 1989/90 that Margarete Forszpaniak, a former resistance comrade, disclosed the truth about Pietzuch's death to the historian , having herself learnt it two decades easrlier from , the responsable East German Central Committee official.
In January 1933 the Hitler government took power and lost little time in transforming Germany into a one-party state |one-]]party dictatorship.
Sources are vague on the timelines of Pietzuch's actions over the next few years, but during or before the first part of 1934 he was back in Germany, with instructions from comrades to organise communist sabitage and terror acvitivies.
In 1936, with Gestapo surveillance becoming increasingly ubitquitous, Pietzuch left Germany and, like many resistance activists at this time, headed for Prague.
At the beginning of 1937 Pietzuch returned to Berlin where he participated with fellow activists in the preparation of violent measures targetting the state.
By 2 April 1937 he was living secretly with Karl and Eleonore Bartel in their apartment at in the city centre.
That morning he was at the Kitchen stove conducting experiments with explosives, with a view to the larger scale manufacture of bombs and detonators for use in sabotage actions.
The policeman then went off to assemble some colleague for amore thorough search of the apartment: by the time they all arrived Pietzuch had left the building.
Eleonore Bartel bandaged up his injured arm with a dish cloth and he set off in a tazi to Berlin-Schöneberg where the dentistry practice Ingelath-Geerken provided a ceratin level of first aid and patched up his damaged face.
After his most urgent medical needs had been attended to he moved on to Schwinemündestraße 21 in Berlin-Wedding another district of central Berlin, where he visited another trusted associate, the electrician Herbert Nicolai.
The electrician provided money and a set of false identity papers, armed with which Emil Pietzuch headed for the railway station.
Prague at this time had become a third informal capital (along with Moscow and Paris) for the exiled German Communist Party.
There is reference to his having made approaches to party members without liaising with party leaders, and there was indeed mention (which at this stage came to nothing) of quietly excluding him from party membership.
It was only in March 1939, with the German military taek-over of the rest of Czechoslovakia, that Pietzuch left Prague, from where he now moved back to the Soviet Union.
For reasons that remain unclear the German authorities became convinced that Pietzuch had made his way from Czechoslovakia not to Russia but to England.
It is likely that the mistrust of comrades which had been apparent in Prague will have followed him to Moscow where he fell foul of the which were intensively focused on German political exiles in Moscow in response to the sudden invasion in June 1941 of the Soviet Union by German forces in defiance of the non-aggression pact negotiatied and concluded between the dicator-states two years earlier.

It sits on a cliff, located close to the modern national road from Thebes to Livadeia, and on the southern shore of the ancient Lake Copais.
It is built of hewn stone, mostly undressed but relatively regular; only the quoins are dressed, including some ancient spolia from the nearby acropolis of ancient Haliartos.
The two middle floors have each eight window slits, two on each wall, while the top floor was covered by a vault reinforced by a double arch, now collapsed.
There is an opening at the base, but it is of modern creation; the original gate seems to have been located well above the ground, on the second floor level, on the tower's southern face; the existence of putlog holes suggest that a wooden staircase was affixed.
A number of caves exist at the edge of the cliff on which the tower sits, but it is unknown whether they are medieval, and possibly related to the tower, or of more recent date, the result of lime-burning.
It is variously regarded as part of a late Byzantine defence system along the opais and the Boeotic Cephissus, but is most likely of Frankish construction.

John Willard was born in East Guilford, Connecticut on July 23, 1759, a son of John Willard (1722-1767) and Mary (Horton) Willard (1728-1807).
He was a director of the Vermont State Bank in Middlebury in 1812 when the bank was unable to account for $28,000 in missing funds (about $418,000 in 2019).
The directors and managers of the bank could not explain the shortage, and a court judgment in favor of the depositors resulted in liens against Willard's property.
Emma Willard decided to open a boarding school for female students in order to generate income for the family, and Willard became the business manager.
Despite the success of his wife's school, Willard's personal finances did not recover after the bank theft, and he was insolvent at the time of his death.
In 1819, the Willards moved their female seminary to Waterford, New York after the state legislature enacted a law providing financial aid for the education of women.

Beasley recalled in her diary that this job provided an adequate salary to cover boarding school costs for her daughter and provided enough annual leave that they could spend summer holidays together.
When Beasley took up her post in October 1939 she found that Sudanese men were not opposed to female education, but that they wanted it to produce 'good wives' not 'wage earners or autonomous thinkers'.
It was an interesting time to arrive in Sudan, where the country's political identity was being formed and the relationship with the British colonial authority was tightly bound to it.
During her career, Beasley's work in female education had a profound impact on the educational system for women in Sudan, she was also concerned with the practice of female genital mutilation, which was widely carried out.
Beasley believed that change to these practices could only come through the education of women themselves and their resistance to the it.
Beasley had a subtle understanding of the different cultural identities within Sudan, and realised the need to work with women from them.
Although she was opposed to the practice herself, and supported educational campaigns against it - she also recognised that it was an important part of cultural identity that affected both men and women.
She organised an educational campaign which focused on schools and organised for Sudanese teachers to tour remote schools to discuss the practice and its affects on health.
From 1951 to 1961, Beasley was Senior Lecturer in English at the Maria Grey Teacher Training College, Twickenham, and Lecturer at the Institute of Education, London.
She became part of the discussion on the need for reform of the civil service pension scheme,particularly the Sudan Government British Pensioners’ Association, and suggested in a letter that women pay 4/5 of the contribution of men, because it was in line with the wages that they earned in reality.
Her paperes are widely recognised as a unique source for analysis of Sudan's colonial past and the education of women in Africa.
Her work in the Sudan has been studied, with a particular focus on her views on FGM, particularly by Sudanese anthropologist Rogaia Mustafa Abusharaf.

After three years he obtained a second-class degree in modern history, and in his fourth and final year, a second-class degree in theology.
After ordination, Jackson obtained a position at St Clement's, Ilford, where he worked for four and a half years as a curate, assisting the new vicar, who had been vice-principal during Jackson's time at Leeds.
William Charles Bertrand Purser, a friend of Jackson's oldest brother, had obtained a position as a missionary to St. Michael's Mission, in Rangoon, Burma (then a British colony) in 1904.
At Purser's suggestion, and at the request of the Lieutenant Governor of the colony, Jackson was invited to become a missionary in Rangoon, to develop and run a school for blind boys that Purser had established in 1914, in the suburb of Kemmendine (spellings vary; now Kyimyindaing), a position he took up in 1917.
He arrived on 8 November and shortly afterwards began to follow local customs, such as wearing the clothes of lower-class Burmese people, walking about barefoot and bare-headed, and eating food with his fingers.
Using his existing knowledge of Braille, he developed a similar system of encoding the Burmese language using raised symbols, as Burmese Braille, initially embossed onto sheets of metal from old petrol tins.
As the school catered almost exclusively for boys (it had only one female pupil), Jackson assisted in the creation and running of an equivalent institution for girls, St Raphael's School at Moulmein (now Mawlamyine), some hundred miles away, which he would visit for a few days each month.
He also set up a charity, the 'Mission to the Blind of Burma', to raise funds for the Kemmendine school, with fundraising occurring both in Burma and in the United Kingdom, via an agent in London.
A recital of 'Original Burmese Carols', held at Rangoon's Holy Trinity Cathedral, resulted in a commission for him and the twelve-member school choir to make records which were commercially released by Columbia Records.
Although he rallied after his operation, he knew that his time was short, and arranged to return again to Burma, his condition deteriorating during the voyage.
It was presented to the dying Jackson at his bedside by the then Governor of Burma, Sir Charles Innes and his wife.
It was published in 1932 by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, with an introduction by Rollestone Fyffe, the former Bishop of Rangoon.
After Jackson's death it was operated by The Mission of St.Michael until 1 November 1963, when the Department of Social Welfare, part of the Myanmar Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement, took it on.
In 2011, software to read and write the Burmese Braille first devised by Jackson was developed by a computer technician at the school.
The staircase of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna is equipped with spandrel and intercolumniation paintings by Gustav Klimt, Ernst Klimt and Franz Matsch, lunette pictures by Hans Makart and a ceiling painting by Mihály Munkácsy.

The characters in the book were partly inspired by the many Filipina domestic workers she met who shared her ethnic background but lacked the opportunities she herself had.
Jane is a Filipino domestic worker and single mother living in a dormitory in New York, with her infant daughter Amalia.
Once there, she befriends other Hosts like Reagan, a white college-graduate who agrees to be a Host to achieve a sense of meaning in her life, and Lisa, a 3rd-time Host who is increasingly disillusioned with Golden Oaks.
Moreover, she gets into trouble with Mae, Golden Oak’s executive manager, resulting in a cancellation of Jane’s scheduled visit with Amalia.
Meanwhile, Reagan is angered by the fact that they used an actor to pretend to be Reagan’s client in order to give her a false sense of purpose.
She is directed to a nearby hospital, where she finds that it is not Amalia but Evelyn who is critically ill. On returning to her dorm, she finds Mae there, as she had correctly guessed that she would return.
Its characters articulate both sides of the surrogacy argument: one, that it is commodification of women, and the other, that it is an act of benevolence.
The novel examines how feminism works differently across class lines: Clients are extremely wealthy, successful women, while the Hosts are largely financially weak women of color.
Additionally, the novel re-examines the idea of the American Dream and how success in America also depends on happenstance and luck, which many immigrants never experience.
It's a breezy novel full of types (the Shark, the Dreamer, the Rebel, the Saint), and veers, not always successfully, from earnestness into satire.

Streets named after Ferdinand Foch can be found in many cities of France and in many other places around the world.
Built between 1976-83, it is considered one of the primary works of the Dutch architect Theo Bosch, completed in association with Aldo Van Eyck.
It currently houses lecture halls for the Faculty of Humanities, much like the historic Bungehuis building down the street on the Spuistraat.
It is named after the historian, poet and playwright Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft (1581-1647), because the former home In den Huypot of the Hooft family stood at this location.
Until 1979, the site of the PC Hoofthuis was occupied by the former Twentsche Bank, built in 1874, which merged in 1964 with the Algemene Bank Nederland.
Van Eyck and Bosch worked on the building together until they dissolved their partnership under design disagreements in 1982; Bosch subsequently finished the building the next year alone.
Lecture rooms sit on either side of the corridors and are separated from the hallways by a glass wall, which makes them easy to see into.
In fact, the glass partitions between the lecture halls and corridors did not exist originally, as the intention was that one could catch various fragments of lectures while walking down the corridors and decide whether one wanted to keep listening.
This scheme was abandoned when it became apparent that the lectures would be disturbed by the noise in the corridors, which must have also made it more difficult for the audience to hear the lecture.
Lecture halls are located on the first to the seventh floors and the offices of various departments are also located in the building.
The first and second floors also contain a portion of the Arts Library, which a study center is located on the ground floor and the third floor contains a canteen.
As part of the University of Amsterdam protests in the fall of 2018, on 28 September the PC Hoofthuis was occupied by belligerent students.

The discovery of the Glenn Pool Oil Reserve in 1905 brought the first major oil pipelines into Oklahoma, and instigated the first large scale oil boom in the state.
Located near what was—at the time—the small town of Tulsa, Oklahoma, the resultant establishment of the oil fields in the area contributed greatly to the early growth and success of the city, as Tulsa became the petroleum and transportation center of the state, and the world.
Several Creek Indian land allotment owners became millionaires; Oklahoma became the world's largest oil producer for years; and the area benefited from the generation of more wealth than the California Gold Rush and Nevada Silver Rush combined, as well as the increased investment capital and industrial infrastructure the boom brought with it.
At the turn of the 20th century, the federal government dissolved tribal land claims of the Indian Territory in favor of a distribution of parcels to private owners.
Robert Galbreath, a speculator and wildcatter, began prospecting in the area in 1901, and made an initial agreement that year with the recipient of one of these land allotments, Ida Glenn (she being a Creek native) and her husband, Robert, to drill for oil on their farmland.
Gilbreath, a veteran of the earlier Red Fork boom, wished to avoid the chaos which had followed that prior discovery and attempted to keep the drilling and subsequent discovery a secret, but to no avail.
Wildcat drilling took place over a wide area, which had the effect of quickly defining the core lay-out of the reserve, an area roughly four miles by two miles with a slope of about 40 feet per mile, and an average field thickness of 100 feet.
The Glenn Pool Oil Reserve held an estimated 1 billion bbls of oil in place, with ultimate recoverable reserves of 400+ million bbls.
Gas depletion caused by massive venting, however, decreased the gas pressure over the same period and the pumping for oil collection then became necessary.
Total field production by 1907 exceeded , making Oklahoma that year the leading producer of oil, not only in the US, but any country in the world.
Due to this unclean method of storage, the product from the reserve often sold for as little as 25 cents per barrel.
Oklahoma Natural Gas, Prairie Oil and Gas Company, Gulf Oil Company, and the Texas Company quickly built large-diameter pipelines into the area which by 1908 alleviated much of the infrastructure problems the rapid boom had caused.
Several of the Creek Nation land allotment owners in the vicinity became rich, almost overnight, and received regular royalty payments of over a million dollars a year following the discovery.
One next-door neighbor of the Glenns, Thomas Gilcrease, became a multi-millionaire as a result of the oil production, and had 32 producing wells on his farm by 1917.
Harry Ford Sinclair (founder of Sinclair Oil and Refining Company) and J. Paul Getty (founder of Getty Oil Company) both got their start during the Glenn Pool boom.
The town of Glenpool, Oklahoma, was founded in 1906 as support for the fledgling oil industry in the area, and had over 500 inhabitants by 1910.
Galbreath and Chesley sold their interests in their original wells to an oilman, Charles Colcord, and continued looking for oil elsewhere.

Their engine, based on the V8 from 450S was also a basis for the Race of Two Worlds Maserati race car but with a shorter stroke to fit the Indy regulations.
By the end of the 1957 Formula One season, after securing World Championship won with Juan Manuel Fangio, Maserati withdrew from racing as a factory entrant.
This decision was mainly dictated by financial situation but allowed Maserati to pursue building road and racing cars for private customers.
For the second edition of the 500 Miles of Monza, Maserati was commissioned the creation of a suitable car to compete against American entries.
His opposition for the race was mainly of American Indy racers with three Ferraris, a pair of Jaguar D-Types and the unique Lister–Jaguar.
The change towards race cars commissions was ideal for privateer such as Gino Zanetti as it would allow him to promote his business and meant a lucrative deal for Maserati.
The race car was not only adorned with a sponsor's logo but the entire car was painted in desired, company colours with the company trademarks added along the sides and front, with the company names and young cowboy logos featured multiple times all over the car.
This decision was monumental in motorsport history and would soon open a flood-gates of sponsorship deals and financial bakers from outside the race car world.
Further the hood scoop was reduced and an additional, mandatory roll bar installed when the car raced at the Indianapolis 500.
The twin cam 90° V8 was modified with a shorter stroke to reduce the displacement to so it could also meet the Indy 500 technical regulations.
Both the engine and transmission were offset to the left by , with a better weight distribution in mind, taking into account the high banked corners at Monza.
To reduce the weight, the alloy used was magnesium, along with Firestone 18-inch braided tread tires filled with helium to save as much weight as possible.
The Race of Two Worlds was first held in 1957, as an attempt for the European and American race cars to compete on the same track.
During the final heat, being fourth overall, his steering broke on 41st lap and the car went into the rails at around .
Even though he could achieve a third place on the podium the overall score was a seventh place overall, taking into account all the heats and the total number of laps finished.
The race itself was partially a success in terms of a spectator numbers but it was not organised for the 1959 season.

The Royal Commission on London Traffic was a Royal commission established in 1903 with a remit to review and report on how transport systems should be developed for London and the surrounding area.
It produced a report in eight volumes published in 1905 and made recommendations on the character, administration and routing of traffic in London.
(b) as to the desirability of establishing some authority or tribunal to which all schemes of Railway or Tramway construction of a local character should be referred, and the powers which it could be advisable to confer on such a body.
The area of the Commission's scope covered the Metropolitan Police District, an area of and a population of more than 6.5 million in 1901.
Members of the Commission carried out fact-finding visits to New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington in 1903 and to Vienna, Budapest, Prague, Cologne, Dresden, Berlin, Brussels and Paris in 1904.
The board consisted of Sir John Wolfe Barry (also a member of the Commission), Sir Benjamin Baker, former President of the Institution of Civil Engineers, and William Barclay Parsons, Chief Engineer to the Board of Rapid Transit Railroad Commissioners of the City of New York.
The Commission set itself three questions with regard to the provision of railways: were additional railways needed in the London area and should they be deep-level, sub-surface or surface lines; were the existing services sufficient and was special encouragement or assistance needed for future railway construction.
It made recommendations for improvements to roads within London's central area and arterial roads; for improvements in tramways including new routes and for improvements in railways of all types including their connections to one another.
Recommendations were made as on road traffic regulations and the Commission recommended the establishment of a Traffic Board to manage traffic developments in the Greater London area and carry out preliminary reviews of bills for traffic schemes before they were submitted to parliament.
The Report identified that road traffic was constrained by the narrowness of many of London's roads which reflected the historic development of the city.
The Report recommended that a comprehensive plan should be developed to improve road provision and routing to be carried out over the long term and that new roads should be constructed to standard widths depending on their importance and that existing main routes should be widened when possible.
These would be wide between buildings with four tram lines on the road and four railway lines in a sub-surface tunnel immediately beneath.
Two of the tram lines and two of the railway lines would be for express services and service tunnels would be provided for utilities beneath the wide pavements.
Definitive routes were not proposed, but the Report recognised that the scale of the projects would require them to be carried out as a complete exercise.
The cost of both Main Avenues was estimated to be £30 million (equivalent to approximately £ today) for the of new roads, tramways and railways.
The Report indicated that there were many other roads and junctions that required improvements including for main roads leading out of London.
For the latter the Report recommended that this should be a responsibility for the Traffic Board to report on when established.
The report criticised the London County Council's (LCC's) policy of refusing to allow the privately owned tramways operating outside the county's boundary to connect to and operate over its municipally owned system within.
It also criticised the failure of the County to join its three separate systems together and to allow trams in the central areas of the City of London and the West End.
The Report recommended that interconnection of the existing tramways be undertaken and recommended construction of many new routes in areas not served and that through running of services between different operators be allowed.
The Report recommended that vetos held by the London County Council and the municipal boroughs within it over the construction of new tramways should be abolished.
The Advisory Board recommended the construction of 23 new tramways to connect the separate systems and bring trams to unserved areas.
It estimated that the cost of constructing double line tramways was four to five per cent of the cost of constructing a cut and cover line such as the Metropolitan Railway or 13 to 17 per cent of the cost of a deep-level tube line such as the Central London Railway.
With the exception of the southern end of Route 1 and the northern parts of Routes 6 and 23 which crossed the county boundary, all of the routes were in the County of London.
The Report noted that the Commission considered that the purpose of railways was to bring passengers from the residential districts into the urban centre.
The Commission excluded railway goods traffic from its consideration noting only that the distribution of most retail goods within the centre on London was by road as the railways could not compete due to convenience and cost.
A desire was expressed that this was better organised to reduce its contribution on traffic congestion, but no solution was proposed.
The report noted that most suburban and long distance passengers arrived at the same termini and that the governments policy of prohibited railways from entering central London meant that the many railway companies then in operation had developed a messy network of lines in the periphery to connect to one another.
Bartley felt that the main report did not go far enough in its recommendations and he wanted the full adoption of the Advisory Board's recommendation for the construction of a pair of grand avenues.
Gibb's additional recommendation was that part of the route of the then under construction Great Northern, Piccadilly & Brompton Railway should be merged with a planned route from the Central London Railway to form a looping line.

Luis Alberto Guerrero Reyes (died 10 May 2004) was a Mexican suspected drug lord and high-ranking member of Los Zetas, a criminal group based in Tamaulipas, Mexico.
In 1999, he deserted from the military and joined the Gulf Cartel under kingpin Osiel Cárdenas Guillén, becoming one of the first members of its newly-formed paramilitary wing, Los Zetas.
Known for his arrogance and violent behavior, Guerrero Reyes was a suspect in multiple murders, including that of his girlfriend and wife.
In 2004, he was killed in a drive-by shooting by unknown assailants along with four other people after he left a discotheque in Matamoros.
Guerrero Reyes joined the Mexican Army on 1 March 1987 as an infantry soldier of the 70th Infantry Battalion in the Mexican state of Puebla.
He was promoted to corporal soldier in the infantry division on 1 November 1990 and was assigned to lead a small squadron of five soldiers.
In addition to the BFP, Guerrero Reyes also received special forces training as a member of the elite Grupo Aeromóvil de Fuerzas Especiales (GAFE).
When Guerrero Reyes joined Los Zetas, the group's purpose was to provide security services to Cárdenas Guillén and carry out executions on the cartel's behalf.
Over the years, Los Zetas underwent organizational changes and became increasingly involved in other criminal activities alongside the Gulf Cartel, including drug trafficking.
With the collaboration of several Gulf Cartel and Zetas members, Guerrero Reyes forged alliances with South American drug suppliers like Andrea Posada Williamson (Cárdenas Guillén's mistress), Rubén Darío Nieto Benjumea, Elkin Fernando Cano Villa and Edwin Torrado.
Guerrero Reyes is often cited as one of the founding members of Los Zetas who was reportedly part of the Grupo de los 14 (English: Group of 14), who were the first fourteen Zetas members.
Under the instruction of Guzmán Decena, Guerrero Reyes and former Army lieutenant Carlos Hau Castañeda led Los Zetas's first training course at a farm known as Punta Selva in Matamoros.
Guerrero Reyes provided instruction on how to use AK-47s, AR-15s with grenade launchers, .50-calibre machine guns, ambushes, rapid deployment, prisoner rescue, counter-insurgency, intelligence gathering, marksmanship, aerial assault tactics, and surveillance and advanced communication techniques.
These sessions in Matamoros lasted until September 2001, when Cárdenas Guillén ordered them to be moved to Nuevo León and other parts of Tamaulipas.
The first one occurred in Matamoros on 27 December 2002, when approximately fifty Zetas members stormed the Federal Social Readaptation Center No.
Investigators stated that the Zetas went into the prison dressed in police uniforms and driving vehicles similar to those from the Army.
Once inside the prison, they identified themselves as federal officers and showed the prison staff a forged documentation ordering the release of four individuals.
On 18 June 2003, Mexico's Attorney General's Office (PGR) placed an unspecified bounty on 31 members of Los Zetas, including Guerrero Reyes.
This announcement was made after the Specialized Unit Against Organized Crime (UEDO) identified him as a high-ranking member of Los Zetas following 14 March arrest of Cárdenas Guillén.
Unlike other Zetas members who voluntarily requested their release from the military, Guerrero Reyes had deserted and joined organized crime, which is considered high treason in a military court.
Guerrero Reyes was wanted by the PGR, the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA) and the Secretariat of Public Security (SSP) for his outstanding charges.
Known for his arrogance and violent behavior, Guerrero Reyes had an arrest warrant issued for his suspected involvement in multiple killings from 12 February to 10 March 2003.
He was suspected of killing his girlfriend Erica Edith González, who was found dead in the rural community of La Venada along with two other people, and of his wife Jovanna Lizbeth Melchor Ceballos, who was killed with another man.
López Falcón was a former member of the Gulf Cartel, but left to join a rival criminal group after he encountered differences with the cartel after senior cartel member Gilberto García Mena was arrested in 2001.
At around 4:30 a.m. on 10 May 2004, Guerrero Reyes was killed by unknown assailants in a drive-by shooting in Matamoros.
The attack occurred before dawn near the Wild West discotheque while Guerrero Reyes was inside a silver Jeep Liberty between Michoacán and 16 de Septiembre streets in Colonia Modelo, an industrial neighborhood.
Guerrero Reyes had just left the discotheque and was described by authorities as a regular in strip clubs and night clubs in Matamoros.
Four of them died at the scene but the last one was taken alive to the Dr. Alfredo Pumarejo Hospital, where she eventually succumbed to her wounds.
One resident stated that at first he thought the noise was caused by the muffler of a vehicle, but as the attack progressed he realized it was a shootout.
Matamoros fire fighters and bomb specialists were called to the scene to remove the grenades from Garcia's hand and from Guerrero Reyes' corpse.
They were able to remove it without causing a detonation, but it took them around eight hours to defuse Guerrero Reyes's grenade.
A police officer identified Quintanilla as a local customs broker; authorities did not reveal what charges he was arrested for but they did confirm that he was captured for driving the vehicle that was presumably used by the assassins.
It was later revealed that Guerrero Reyes was killed by four unidentified hitmen who carried out the attack in a white taxi.
The motive behind the attack was not revealed, and state police chief Arturo Pedroza Aguirre said it was too early to determine if a drug cartel was involved.
U.S. and Mexican authorities did not confirm if the attack was carried out by the Gulf Cartel or conducted by a rival gang, which had sprung up in high numbers after the arrest of Cárdenas Guillén.
Guerrero Reyes's code name Z-5 was vacated after his death and taken by Zetas member Braulio Arellano Domínguez, who initially held the code name Z-20.

In the Volkshaus Lübtheen bought by Steinbeck in 2008, an AfD district party conference took place in December 2016, and his Herrenhaus had previously been used for a party event.
Steinbeck is considered to be well networked in the right-wing scene and as a puller for the right wing faction of AfD in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Steinbeck worked in the 1990s for the parliamentary group of the right-wing extremist party German League for People and Homeland in Schleswig-Holstein.
He was active for them in the state election campaign, but has so far not run for any position in the party.
Accordingly, the group has existed for around two years and its members wear small red crosses on the lapels of their suits.
The symbol apparently refers to the Santiago Order of battle, which existed in the Middle Ages and fought in the Reconquista to recapture the Iberian Peninsula.
Party members report that the castle group is said to have had several influences on the fate of the AfD state association in recent years.
This had been achieved, for example, when in November 2017 the almost certain election of today's AfD Bundestag member Enrico Komning as the second state chairman alongside Leif-Erik Holm was prevented - instead, the party congress at that time chose the previously largely unknown Dennis Augustin.

The Línea P (P line), officially the Pyrenees Defense Organisation (), was a fortified line of defense built in the Pyrenees between 1944 and 1948 to prevent an invasion of the Spanish territory.
After the end of the Spanish Civil War, the government of General Franco decided to build a defensive line in the Pyrenees, that would go from the Mediterranean to the Cantabrian Sea, approximately of fortified defensive points, stretching up to a depth of from the border.
In a broader sense, Línea P also refers to the successive Pyrenean fortifications built after the Spanish Civil War that would previous fortifications (1939–1940), the counter-tank defense (1950–1954) and other fortifications, such as those at Cape Higuer in Fuenterrabía, Guipúzcoa finished in 1957.
After the end of the Spanish Civil War, hundreds of thousands of Republican soldiers and civilians crossed the French border ahead of the advancing Nationalist troops.
Many Republican soldiers settled in the mountains of the Pyrenees and the Spanish Republican government in exile was formed in France.
They continued to fight against Francoist Spain until the early 1960s, carrying out sabotage, robberies to help fund guerrilla activity, occupations of Spanish embassies in France and assassinations of Francoists, as well as contributing to the fight against Nazi Germany and the Vichy regime in France during World War II.
Beginning 1943, Nazi Germany started to build a line of fortifications in the Pyrenees, called , from Cerbere to Hendaye, along Le Perthus, Maurellàs, Las Illas, Prats-de-Mollo-la-Preste and the French Cerdagne and built coastal batteries in Le Barcarès, Torreilles, Sainte-Marie-la-Mer, Collioure et Port-Vendres which became part of the Südwall.
In August 1944, the liberation of France entered a decisive phase with the liberation of Toulouse and the south of France, giving the Spanish border a special significance.
Neither General Franco nor Nazi Germany could ever manage to close the border effectively, as alternative routes to the usual ones were sought to cross it.
The exiled Republicans had high hopes that at the end of World War II in Europe, Franco would be removed from power by the victorious Allies and that they would be able to return to Spain.
in Mexico was first formed in November 1943, in an attempt to build a national committee inspired by the French Committee of National Liberation, and in Toulouse in August 1944.
While the war against Nazi Germany was continuing in the north of France, large areas of the liberated territory were not under its direct control and were in practice controlled by the Resistance and other guerrilla groups.
Therefore, when Charles de Gaulle, head of the French provisional government, traveled to Toulouse on 16 September 1944 to pay tribute to the French Resistance and Spanish republican fighters that liberated Toulouse, the real objective of De Gaulle's visit was to bring Toulouse under the control of the French state.
It was not in De Gaulle's best interest the Spanish republicans opened a second front in the Pyrenees and expressed his disagreement with any attempt to cross the Spanish border and return to the maquis.
Between 4,000 and 7,000 guerrillas, well equipped and with heavy weapons, entered Spanish territory through Val d'Aran and other parts of the Pyrenees.
The objective of the offensive was to retake the sector of Spanish territory comprising the land between the Cinca and Segre Rivers and the French border.
The zone was later declared conquered by the Spanish Republican government in exile to provoke a general uprising against Franco throughout Spain.
The main attack in the valley was accompanied by operations in other valleys of the Pyrenees during the previous weeks to distract Franco's forces.
These other attacks were intended also to evaluate the situation in the interior of Spain and make contact with other groups of exiles.
The most important points of penetration in the long chain of mountains were Roncesvalles, Roncal, Hecho, Canfranc, Val d'Aran, Andorra, and Cerdanya, though there were also operations at smaller points.
The offensives were repelled by a great force that was moved into the area by Franco, made up of the Civil Guard, Armed Police Corps, battalions of the Spanish Army, and 40,000 Moroccan (Army of Africa) troops.
The invasion of the Val d'Aran ended on 28 October 1944 in a complete failure for the Republican side, when the last guerrillas re-crossed the border back into France, without the hoped-for uprising.
In 1945, de Gaulle had all the Spanish Republican flags in France removed and definitively disowned the Junta Española de Liberación.
Spanish republicans, after France and the Allies' rejection, were forced into a guerrilla war, known as the Spanish Maquis, and the Spanish Republic government-in-exile faded away to a symbolic role.
In an attempt to isolate the Franco regime, Félix Gouin, de Gaulle's successor as head of the French provisional government, decided on 26 February 1946 to close the border with Spain on 1 March 1946.
On April 18, 1946, Polish ambassador Oskar Lange, supported by the Soviet Union, France and Mexico, asked the United Nations to condemn Spain as an aggressive country based on information that Franco was accumulating troops on the French border and fortifying the Pyrenees, but nobody knew that these works had already begun in 1939 earlier in the whole mountain range.
On December 12, 1946, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 39, which excluded the Spanish government from international organizations and conferences established by the United Nations.
In January 1950, Secretary of State Dean Acheson admitted that the Resolution 39 had been a failure, mentioning that the government was able to support a resolution that would end both issues.
On 4 November 1950, the UN General Assembly adopted resolution 386, repealing the recommendation that prevented Spain from being a member of the International agencies established or linked by the United Nations.
This resolution paved the way for Spain to join the United Nations system, which began in 1951 with the incorporation of UN agencies such as UPU, ITU, FAO and WHO, and completed with the accession of Spain to the United Nations in 1955.
The Spanish army was convinced at the end of the 1930s that fortifications in the Pyrenees could stop an army from entering through one of the mountain passes into Spain.
Fortified defense lines were typical of Europe before World War II in the style of the Maginot, Siegfried, Mannerheim, Metaxás Lines.
In 1936, months before the Civil war, cavalry commander Sanjuán Cañete published a book on the Pyrenean border giving indications of possible defensive works to be done.
More specifically Sanjuán Cañete carried out a detailed analysis of the network of trails and roads on the Pyrenees, adding considerations and proposals of a strategic nature.
The thoroughness of this study was of great importance for the establishment of the bases of future defensive systems in the Pyrenees.
Since September 1940 there had been plans to fortify the Eastern Pyrenees (Catalonia) in the event of a possible invasion through Le Perthus with motorized troops.
The border area was to be divided into three sectors: Eastern Pyrenees (Catalonia), Central Pyrenees (Aragon) and Western Pyrenees (Navarra and Basque Country).
Fortifications had not only to become part of the landscape but also to take advantage of the protection offered by nature.
Started in the autumn of 1944, the construction of the Línea P was entrusted to the former military regions IV ( Catalonia and Valencia), V (Aragón and Soria) and VI (Navarra, País Vasco, Santander, Burgos, and Logroño) that bordered France.
This centers of resistance were intended to cover the main lines of penetrations, inside Spanish territory, while capable of defending themselves autonomously.
Spanish military strategists needed also to compensate for the defensive weaknesses of the two extremities of the Pyrenees: the Basque Country and Navarra in the west and Catalonia in the east.
Consequently, no less than 100 Centers of Resistance were built in Catalonia, 56 in the Basque Country and Navarra and 20 in Aragón.
Each Center of Resistance had a large number of defense points grouped in support points, and these in turn in Units and they in Sub-Units.
The defense points would typically house a machine gun, an anti-tank gun, an infantry cannon, an anti-aircraft gun, a 81 mm mortar or a 50 mm mortar.
The original plan was that each defense point would be surrounded by trenches with a shooter's well placed at each end.
The Francoist project for the 500-km fortified line across the Pyrenees consisted of some 8,000 – 10,000 defensive points of which approximately half were built, stretching up to a depth of from the border.
In spite of the effort made in its construction, there is no evidence that it was ever fully operational and armed, nor the armored doors that were manufactured to close the bunkers were placed or the barbed wire fences were deployed.
The wire fences and armored doors that were produced to protect these settlements remained in storage in Figueras, Pamplona, and Jaca and eventually sent to the Spanish Sahara.
Even if the works on the defensive were never finished, several military inspections took place over the years to check the settlements, as the military command considered these works to be strategic in the military defense of the national territory.
The integration of Spain into the then European Economic Community and NATO in 1986 lead to the definitive abandonment of the Pyrenean fortification line as a defensive military infrastructure, becoming, in some cases, another tourist attraction in the Pyrenees.
When the Third Carlist War ended in 1876, the Spanish military authorities came with an ambitious plan to defend the French border in the central and western Pyrenees.
Six forts were planned to form the first line of defense around Irun and another two would form a second line of defense, which could be used to defend San Sebastián and the port of Pasajes.
With a total of 59 bunkers initially planned, 16 defensive points for machine guns and 27 for automatic weapons were completed.
Grouped in (Workers’ Battalions) and from 1940 to December 1942, in (Disciplinary Battalions of Workers-Soldiers), prisoners were used to building defensive points of the Línea P and its access roads.
Between 1939 and 1945, over 21,000 prisoners carried out fortification and road construction works in Navarra, in Gipuzkoa, and to a lesser extent in Bizkaia, with the coastal fortifications between Getxo and Gorliz.
Aragón was the region with the lowest density of Centers of Resistance, probably since in many parts, the mountains are over 2,500 meters above sea level, which makes most of the region inaccessible.
In the Valley of the Aragón River, the Canfranc railway station was chosen for the center of operations because of its central location.
In many cases part of the transport was done by mules, arriving in up to six hours to the destination, such as the Center of Resistance N.R.
The region of Cerdanya was considered of high strategic value and therefore concentrated a large number of defensive points and bunkers built to stop an intrusion at one of the most important penetration routes through the Pyrenees.
Every twelve or sixteen kilometers of border, four centers of resistance were built to allow an effective defense against a possible frontal attack but have also thought to protect against flank attacks.
The very nature of the project has led to almost 80% of the military archives being classified as restricted, confidential or secret.
Their accessibility is therefore subject to the provisions of the Spanish Historical Heritage Law and the Military Archives Regulations of 1998 and the Spanish Law on Official Secrets.
As a consequence, the Francoist fortification of the Pyrenees began only to attract the attention of scholars in the mid of 1990s.
In 2007, the Park of bunkers of Montellà i Martinet was the first initiative to present a center of resistance (N.R.
On September 12, 2010, a marked outdoor itinerary was inaugurated in La Guingueta d'Àneu, consisting of a walk in the valley of the Noguera Pallaresa river, on the shore of the reservoir of La Torrassa, to visit four bunkers belonging to the center of resistance N.R.
The route starts from the low battery of the fort of Santa Elena and some settlements belonging to the Center of Resistance 106 (Hoz de Jaca) can be visited.

Lodi ceramics were produced in Lodi, Italy from ancient times, but their artistic quality reached its peak in the 18th century.
A large production of terracotta for architectural decorations was developed in the 14th century, such as in the facades of the churches of Lodi, and in particular in the ornaments of the cloister of the Ospedale Maggiore, in the decorations of Palazzo Mozzanica, and in Piazza Broletto and Piazza Mercato.
The first written documents testifying to the presence of furnaces in the Lodi area date back to the 16th century and then to the 17th century.
This was due to the little dimension of the local market, which mostly required ceramics for ordinary use; moreover the production of ceramics was hindered by the many taxes, both on the import of the raw material, the earth from Stradella, and on the export of the products.
Following the war of the Spanish Succession, at the beginning of the 18th century the territory of Lodi was annexed, with the Duchy of Milan, to the realm of the House of Habsburg of Austria.
However a few factories were established in Lodi, including that of Coppellotti, already active in the 17th century, Rossetti and Ferretti.
Artists and decorators were able to move more freely than before and this enabled the production of ceramics in Lodi to acquire techniques and decorations from Northern Europe and France, such as a third, lower temperature firing and the Bérain decoration.
In 1796, the battle of Lodi between Napoleon Bonaparte and the Austrian troops marked the decline of ceramic production in Lodi, due both to the material damage suffered by the factories located near the battleground by the Adda river, and to the economic decline during the period of the Napoleonic wars and the following restoration.
The main material for the production of ceramics was the earth of Stradella, a clay rich in limestone, which, thanks to its malleability, made the ceramics very thin and light.
The main component for the glaze was sand from San Colombano al Lambro, rich in silicon, but tin was also added to the glaze.
The gran fuoco technique was the only one in use until the mid 18th century, but was still used even after the introduction of the piccolo fuoco (third fire) technique around 1750.
With the first firing, the product was hardened and could then be glazed and painted, with the glaze not fixed yet by the second firing.
Only those colours that could withstand the high temperature of the second firing could be used: manganese for violet, antimony for yellow, iron for a reddish colour, cobalt for blue, copper for green.
Cobalt blue tended to spread to the glaze, creating blue hues, and this also happened when it was mixed with yellow to create green.
In the second half of the 18th century the technique of third fire – piccolo fuoco was introduced, which made it possible to obtain a greater range of more vibrant colours.
After two firings at about 950 °C, identical to those of the technique of gran fuoco, the glaze, already vitrified, was painted with colours that would have degraded at higher temperature and a third firing was carried out at about 600-650 °C.
One of the new pigments that could be used thanks to the third firing was a red obtained from gold chloride, which made it possible to introduce various shades of red, from pink to purple.
The Coppellotti factory was active from 1641 to the end of the 18th century; the best ceramics date back to the period 1735-1740 and were produced with the gran fuoco technique: plates, centerpieces, teapots, coffeemakers, sugar bowls.
Some of the decorative motives were influenced by French ceramics, in particular the decoration known as 'De lambrequins et rayonnants', introduced from Rouen, with arabesques, draperies and geometric-floral compositions arranged in a radial pattern.
Rossetti excelled in the decoration known as the 'Bérain' style, which takes its name from the French decorator Jean Bérain the Elder, with pillars, balustrades, capitals, urns, shells, stylized leaves garlands, divinities and satyrs;.
The best known decoration of the Ferretti ceramics is the one with naturalistic flowers, with very bright and lively colours, which could be obtained thanks to the piccolo fuoco technique.
The most commonly painted flowers were wild flowers, such as forget-me-not, buttercups, Centaurea cyanus, campanula, primroses and dog rose; but also cultivated varieties were represented, such as roses, tulips and carnations.

Beatty Run drains of area, receives about 44.3 in/year of precipitation, has a topographic wetness index of 418.12, and has an average water temperature of 7.93°C.
The new lands had also a large population of Aromanians, which is why autonomous Aromanian republics were formed in the territories of Thessaly during the two World Wars.
This annexation is of great importance for the modern history of the Balkans and the emergence of the Macedonian issue; because of it Greece could have land contact with the region of Macedonia and accordingly the ability to send armed troops during the Macedonian Struggle.
With the outbreak of the Great Eastern Crisis, the main supporter of Greek foreign policy in maintaining good relations with the Ottoman Empire was PM Charilaos Trikoupis.
The Prime Minister was in charge of setting up and organizing combat troops to invade north beyond the Greek-Ottoman border of Arta-Volos.
At the Congress of Berlin, Greece insisted on receiving a territorial extension north of the High Gate, a new land border to the Kalamas and Salamvria (Pineios (Thessaly)).
The High Gate attempted to deflect Greek territorial claims from Epirus and Thessaly to Crete, where another Cretan revolt (1878) took place.
After diplomatic efforts by Prime Minister Alexandros Koumoundouros and the Ottomans, it was decided the transfer of these areas to the Greek Kingdom.
Despite the defeat in the Greco-Turkish War (1897) at the end of the 19th century, this border was slightly adjusted at the expense of Greece.
The annexation of this territory unlocked the Greek territorial appetite, involving Greece in four consecutive wars within ten years during the early 20th century that ended with the so-called Asia Minor disaster.

Working at the Organization for Tropical Studies La Selva Biological Station, Pringle he has collected almost three decades of data collected from lowland streams in Costa Rica.
Pringle was awarded her first National Science Foundation Long Term Research in Environmental Biology (LTERB) in Costa Rica in 1985 and has continued to collect data since.
She showed that this solute-rich ground water is responsible for almost half of stream discharge and can cause the build up of cations in streams during the dry season.
Solute-rich groundwater is associated with underlying volcanic activity, which alters the chemistry of the water through geothermal modification in Puerto Viejo Sarapiquí, a town near La Selva Biological Station.
The town has undergone explosive population growth, which places increased demands on local water supplies, and pesticides from the banana plantations can result in contamination.
She has investigated the role of specific species in maintaining the function of ecosystems, and how freshwater ecosystems adapt when certain species are lost.
At the University of Georgia she serves as a Distinguished Research Professor and Chair of the Odum School of Ecology Master's degree Conservation Ecology & Sustainable Development.
In 2019 Pringle was made a Fellow of the Ecological Society of America for her contribution to stream ecosystems and mentoring of students in aquatic conservation ecology.

Butler grew up in Reserve, Louisiana and attended Riverside Academy, where he joined the school's varsity basketball team as an eighth grader.
He picked the Crimson Tide because he was confused why Baylor was not recruiting him harder despite his coach Tim Byrd being friends with Bears coach Scott Drew; the Bears were short on scholarships and long on guards.
Butler enrolled at Alabama, but did not participate in the team's summer workouts and requested an unconditional release from his letter of intent in order to transfer to Baylor University.
He averaged 10.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists as a true freshman and was named honorable mention All-Big 12 Conference and to the league's All-Freshman team.

Rhoda Agatha Rindge Adamson (April 20, 1893-April 2, 1962) also known as Rhoda Agatha Adamson or simply Rhoda Adamson, was the co-founder and secretary-treasurer of Adohr Farms and Adohr Dairy & Creamery, one of Southern California's largest and most successful dairies.
Adamson was born Rhoda Agatha Rindge, the middle child of Rhoda May Knight Rindge and Frederick Hastings Rindge, transplants to California from Michigan and Massachusetts, respectively.
The ranch home was destroyed in 1903 fire; from there on out, the family only camped in Malibu when visiting the family ranch.
Otherwise, they no longer lived in Santa Monica, but rather a 25-room mansion in West Adams Heights, known as the Frederick Hastings Rindge House.
Adamson was raised to love the outdoors, and, riding horseback, she partook of activities such as sheep-herding with her father on the Malibu Ranch.
The former she often partook of with her best friend, Jesse Ellen Matheson, to whom she had gifted a horse named Robin.
The pair rode their horses across Malibu's Santa Monica Mountains, usually armed with shotguns should a rattlesnake have presented a threat.
Adamson attended Wellesley for a year, from 1910-1911, before returning to California, missing her home state too much to stay away.
Adohr Stock Farms was the umbrella organization from which the Adamsons would grow Adohr Farms and Adohr Dairy & Creamery, the latter of which was headquartered at 1801 S. La Cienega Boulevard and Sawyer Street.
In addition to becoming one of the biggest dairies in the United States, Adohr would come to be one of the largest certified dairies in the world, and come to boast the world's largest herd of Guernsey and Holstein-Friesian cows, tallying in at 1,650 head of cattle.
The organization thrived throughout the Great Depression, as milk consumption was bolstered by Prohibition, though the beef ranch side of the enterprise was forced into bankruptcy.
Darling of the Depression era, Shirley Temple, became an Adohr promotional figure, naming Adohr cows like Tillie Temple from Tillamook and Dinah.
He was a mere milkman with Adohr, yet became known for the funny voices and sound effects he produced to the delight of children on his delivery route.
He hence became Whistling Clarence, and was tasked with riding in a wagon drawn by miniature horses through the streets of Los Angeles, dispensing treats to children.
His Adohr resume and other voice work impressed Walt Disney, and Nash was brought into the Disney family in this way.
The dairy ran on a 24-hours-a-day schedule, with 100 employees carrying out the operation of the plant itself, while scores of additional employees--Adohr milkmen--were deployed across hundred of routes to deliver milk straight to clients' doorsteps, and sometimes, straight to their refrigerators, as did long-time milkman Elmer Moss.
And the company offered not only milk but buttermilk, butter, cream, ice cream, cottage cheese, eggs, and other milk products like whipping cream.
The Tarzana farm and additional farmland in Kern County, California, meanwhile, provided the room necessary to grow feed for the livestock and allow them out to pasture.
In 1929, the couple commissioned Stiles O. Clements to build them a weekend and summer home on 13 acres in Malibu that Rhoda's mother had gifted them.
Two Danish painter, Ejnar Hansen and Peter Nielsen, hand-painted doors, cupboards, and other surfaces in the house, while John Holtzclaw, an interior decorator, worked to create a cohesive home for the Adamsons, coordinating furnishings with textiles, the Danish painters' work, and the abundant Malibu tile.
There, the family raised prized chickens, tended bees, and accommodated a variety of pet animals, including goats, dogs (Saint Bernards being one of the breeds), a sheep named Bohunkus and a donkey named Don Quixote.
The family was friends with cowboy-humorist Will Rogers, and Rogers was known to ride his horse from his ranch in Pacific Palisades to the Adamson house where he would perform rope tricks for the Adamson children.
Not only had May Rindge gifted the land upon which the Adamson House was built, she also provided the home's extensive tile from her own tile factory, Malibu Potteries.
During World War II, the Coast Guard wanted to take over the Adamson House, hoping to use it as an outpost.
The family declined, but did allow officers to stay in the poolhouse as well as semi-permanent tents along their stretch of beach.
The home, like most buildings during the war, was required to make use of blackout shades--light-blocking shades covering all windows in the home so that enemy aircraft or submarine would have difficulty making sense of the landscape at night.
Merritt Adamson volunteered as an air-raid warden, riding his horse from the Adamson House down to the Malibu Pier and back on patrol.
Rhoda, like many heads of house, did a lot of canning in the war years, creating edible preserves of all kinds.
In 1942, the Adamson family heard about the bombing of Pearl Harbor on what was a luxury to most families then--a large Scott radio in their living room.
Merritt hence sold the Tarzana dairy property to builders who planned to divide the land into parcels for construction of low-cost housing for veterans.
In preparation, original dairy structures were dismantled, including its three 31-year-old silos, which had to be raised with the help of the Los Angeles County Fire Department Demolition Squad and a significant amount of dynamite.
She is buried with her husband, Merritt, in crypt 10291 at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California, in the cemetery's Great Mausoleum, Sanctuary of Ascension.
Rhoda's dairy continued under the Adohr Farms name into the 1990s or early 2000s, though the original buildings in the San Fernando Valley had long-since been demolished, starting in 1948, and the family had sold the business in 1966.
Additionally, Rhoda-May formed the Adamson Company with her siblings, Sylvia and Merritt, an organization to manage the family's real estate holdings.
It was a continuation, in effect, of their grandmother and mother's Marblehead Land Co., which had been formed to manage the original Rindge real estate holdings.
For example, Merritt Jr. was part of a successful fight against the prospective construction of a nuclear power plant in Malibu's Corral Canyon.
The State of California was calling eminent domain on the property, and the Adamson descendants could not afford the high property taxes on it.
No sooner had the transaction been completed, then the state declared they would be demolishing the home to make it a parking lot for the surfers, as surf culture had exploded in the 1950s and '60s, creating a demand for automobile access to the area.
It made no difference that the home was a masterpiece of Stiles O. Clements, nor was it considered remarkable, in the state's eyes, in its lineage tied to the Rindge family.
What saved it was the provenance of its tile: the tile had been a product of Malibu's first business, the Malibu Potteries; it had been made using local clays; and its glazes were not reproducible, as creator and glaze expert Rufus Keeler died of cyanide poisoning shortly after the Malibu Potteries closed, and he had taken measures to commit his recipes to memory alone.
Also during this time, the Adamson family donated 138 acres of their land to Pepperdine, so that Pepperdine, which was outgrowing its Watts campus, and whose campus had been badly damaged during the Watts Riots of 1965, could move its campus to Malibu.
Rhoda's home of 33 years, it has been open for public tours since 1982 and is home to the Malibu Lagoon Museum.
It is also the site of weddings and special events, yet remains completely intact, as it was in the Adamson Family's tenure, complete with their belongings, from Rhoda's I. Magnin's and Bullock's dresses, Haviland & Co. dishware, and Adohr Farms milk bottles, to original bedspreads, Barker Bros. furniture, and Merritt Adamson's map collection.
He began his military career in the Regular Force in 1955, serving in the HMCS Cornwallis and Stadacona Bands as well an army band in London, Ontario for the next 20 years.

He was transferred to the La Musique du Royal 22e Régiment at the Citadelle of Quebec where he would briefly be stationed before going to Ottawa to work in the Directorate of Ceremonial of the National Defence Headquarters in 1982.
He was appointed the director of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry Band in 1984, a band he would lead in Calgary before moving to head the Canadian Forces School of Music in CFB Borden.

After being with Odin of London for some years in the late 70s and early 80s, he founded BunChakeze, who recorded a progressive rock album.
In 2010, after not playing in any bands for 25 years, encouraged by friends he met on the internet, Colin released the BunChakeze album.
The album was received very well, and led him into releasing a string of albums with his own projects, of which Corvus Stone and Colin Tench Project were most important, and as a guest musician for other acts.
Colin died unexpectedly of natural causes on December 27, 2017, 3 days after the release of his second album with the Colin Tench Project.
The group played local clubs and joined Battle of the Bands contests, but by Tench's own admission, they were not particularly very good.
At one gig, however, he spotted legendary AC/DC vocalist Bon Scott in the audience and afterwards spoke briefly with him, Scott reportedly saying that he thought the band was alright.
After leaving Australia, Tench forgot about guitar playing and returned home to London via a journey of several months through Asia.
Originally he had no aspirations to continue playing the guitar, but then he decided to audition for a new band named Odin of London.
At the time of the auditions, former Black Widow and Cressida guitarist John Culley had also tried out for the band.
The band was born in 1981 and was composed of Gary Derrick (bass), Derek Sanderson (keyboards), John Culley (guitars), Colin Tench (guitars), and Cliff Deighton (drums).
The contract with the label, however, did not favour the band and they declined to permit the use of their song.
Foulcer was building a new studio and, according to Tench, a deal was made over a card game one night; the three musicians would help build the studio during the day in exchange for recording time at night.
After a few months, American singer Joey Lugassy from Los Angeles arrived in London on his first visit to the United Kingdom and advertised that he was looking for a band.
He was called to meet with BunChakeze and was hired to sing the songs, a challenge for him as the music had already been recorded and he had to make his vocals fit the music.
In 2009*, Tench moved into a house in (town), Sweden and decided to contact his old Odin of London bandmate, John Culley.
Not knowing where to find him, Tench looked up Black Widow's web site and contacted the site manager, a Finnish keyboard player and composer named Pasi Koivu.
Odin of London's recordings were released as a digital download only and BunChakeze was released digitally and on CD in 2010.
Via chatrooms and Facebook, he began acquainting himself with a number of artists who would soon play important roles in his recording career, including American multi-instrumentalist and singer Blake Carpenter, British singer/songwriter Andy John Bradford, Belgian singer and guitarist Stef Flaming, Argentinian composer Andres Guazzelli, and illustrating artist Sonia Mota of Mozambique.
The trio were now committed to writing music together, and at the suggestion of Sonia Mota, the new band was named Corvus Stone.
Before they completed the recordings, they were contacted by American drummer Robert Wolff who expressed interest in joining the band, and Corvus Stone became a four-piece.
He and Bradford enlisted the assistance of a few musicians with whom Tench was acquainted, such as Andres Guazzelli, Stef Flaming, Victor Tassone, and Italian keyboard player, Marco Chiappini.
It was during this time he learned about dynamic range and how much of modern music is compressed to a low dynamic range level.
As the album came together, several musicians were either approached by Tench to perform on the album or the artists themselves asked to be a part of the music.
Special guests for Corvus Stone II included Andres Guazzelli, Blake Carpenter, German Vergara, Phil Naro, Sean Filkins, and Timo Rautiainen all doing vocals for different songs.
By this time, Tench had become known to many musicians and was asked to play on various tracks or be a part of band projects.
After a flurry of activity in the first half of 2016, Tench turned his attention to a personal project which he had begun back in 2011 and had been working on little by little.
Unfinished pieces and early versions of ideas in the works had been uploaded to the ReverbNation music-sharing site under the name Colin Tench Project, but now at last these works became the focus of his attention.
Over the next few months, Tench contacted several musicians to ask if they would be interested in participating in the project.
Joining the project was Corvus Stone bassist, Petri Lindstrom, and vocalist Phil Naro, who had previously sung on Corvus Stone tracks.
Other names included drummer Vic Tassone and bassist Stephen Speelman of the American progressive metal band, Unified Past, composer Steve Gresswell, flutist Ian Beabout, and German melodic progressive rock band, KariBow's Oliver Rusing, who played drums for one track.
Tench was always pleased to announce new members to the project, first with tease posts on his Facebook page and finally the official announcement.
One very important person to join the project was the multi-talented Peter Jones who was the sole member of the English progressive rock project, Tiger Moth Tales.
Jones had only just recently been asked by legendary prog rock band, Camel, to join them on tour as a keyboard player.
The album quickly captured one of the top positions on the ProgArchives web site and received praise from reviewers around the world, who noted the successful blend of contributions from so many musicians.
Tench was pleased to receive so much praise but always stressed that the reason for the success of the music was due to the efforts of every single member in the project.
The project was temporarily put on the back burner as he turned to some important renovations on his home, but by the end of the summer, new music teasers were being dropped into his Facebook timeline.
This time the cast of participating musicians was trimmed back to a core group consisting of vocalists Peter Jones and Joey Lugassy, who had sung on the BunChakeze album back in 1985, Petri Lindstrom on bass, Gordo Bennett for orchestral arrangements, and drummer Joe Vitale of the Joe Walsh group.

At the time of the German invasion on June 22 it was located in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains near the border with Hungary as part of the 17th Rifle Corps of 12th Army in the Kiev Special Military District.
While the division was not attacked by the main German forces in the first days, its almost total lack of trucks and shortage of horses made it difficult to retreat to the east.
It was soon transferred with 17th Corps to the new 18th Army in Southern Front, but returned to 12th Army in mid-July.
It fell back through western Ukraine under that headquarters into August when it found itself encircled in the Uman pocket where all but remnants of the division were destroyed.
The division was commanded by Maj. Gen. Markis Bikmulovich Salikhov, who had been the 60th Rifle's deputy commander until April 24, 1940 and had been promoted to general's rank on June 4 of that year.
It was one of six rifle divisions converted to mountain divisions in Ukraine in late 1940/early 1941; like the rest it received little or no specialized training or equipment before the invasion began.
At that time it had on hand 8,313 officers and men with 7,742 bolt-action rifles and carbines, 349 semiautomatic rifles, 939 sub-machine guns, 357 light machine guns, 209 heavy machine guns, 8 45mm antitank guns, 32 76mm cannon and howitzers, 24 122mm howitzers and 120 mortars.
Despite having, on paper, both a battalion and a company of trucks it actually had just 10 trucks and 1 tractor plus 2,280 horses for its transport; it was intended to mobilize the remainder from the civilian economy.
On June 25 the division was transferred with 17th Rifle Corps (60th and 96th Mountain, 164th Rifle Divisions) to the 18th Army which was being formed in Southern Front (former Odessa Military District).
During early July the 17th Corps was mostly facing the Hungarian 8th Army Corps and by July 11 it had been forced back east of Kamianets-Podilskyi.
Later that month the 60th was detached from the Corps and returned to 12th Army where it came under the command of 13th Rifle Corps before August 1.
By July 23 it was fighting south of Lypovets, now against the German 97th Light Infantry Division, before falling back to just south of Uman at the end of the month.
Breakout attempts, particularly on August 6 and 7, allowed individuals and small groups to escape the cauldron but apart from these remnants the 60th Mountain was smashed and was no longer carried on the Soviet order of battle by the end of the month, although it was not officially disbanded until September 19.
Meanwhile, on July 29 General Salikhov had been relieved of command, court-martialed and condemned to 10 years imprisonment, although this was later commuted to demotion to the rank of colonel.
Salikhov was soon given command of the 980th Rifle Regiment of the newly-forming 275th Rifle Division near Novorossiysk which was shipped to the Odessa District in late August to join the reforming 6th Army.
The 1.83 m tall athlete played for the Bundesliga team DJK Don Bosco Bamberg until 2014 and was considered a great talent in German women's basketball.

Edward Percy Sealy (23 August 1839 – 30 October 1903), also referred to as Edwin Sealy, was a New Zealand surveyor, photographer, explorer, farmer, and entomologist.
Born into a wealthy English family, Edward and his elder brother Henry received a good education but were orphaned at a young age.
They were involved in a very public scandal in 1876 when Edward beat a prominent member of parliament to some land that they were both interested in based on insider information that had been passed on by his brother.
Sealy was a collector of butterflies, moths and birds' eggs and his entomology collection was considered one of the most notable private collections in the world.
The South Canterbury Museum in Timaru holds his entomology collection, and his photographs are held by the South Canterbury Museum and Canterbury Museum in Christchurch.
The brothers' intention was to proceed to Hawke's Bay but the ship lay in Lyttelton Port for a month as much of the crew had deserted.
They also helped out land survey parties that worked in the district and during 1861, both of them worked as surveyors, Edward employed by the Hawke's Bay Provincial Council.
In 1874, the brothers won a tender for a survey contract further west and inland, with Edward working in the area near Burkes Pass.
His brother got into financial difficulties in the depression that started in the late 1870s; by January 1881 he had to sell his home 'Heathcliffe'.
The Sealy brothers caused a great scandal when Edward Richardson applied for land on behalf of his father, The Honourable Edward Richardson.
Richardson Jr was told to come back the next morning when the land office opened again but by that time, Edward had purchased the land on the advice of his brother.
This happened just prior to Henry finishing a contract survey of Saint Andrews township; this was completed on 9 May 1876.
Sealy's uncle in Patoka is assumed to have been the first commercial portrait photographer in New Zealand, advertising his trade in 1848.
In 1866, Sealy took his camera and other equipment to the upper Ashburton River and the Rangitata River, and the glaciers that feed these rivers.
During the following year, he explored the whole length of the Mueller Glacier and took photos of Aoraki / Mount Cook from there.
Dr Alfred Barker, a Christchurch-based doctor best known as a photographer, considered Sealy the best photographer in New Zealand at the time.
Over Christmas and New Year 1867, the brothers caught up and over the space of a few days socialised with the Canterbury elite: Francis Jollie (a member of parliament) at Christmas Day, John Acland (by then a member of the Legislative Council) at Boxing Day, then on to Charles George Tripp (a large runholder) followed by Dr Ben Moorhouse (another large runholder).
He took photos of Mount Darwin and Hochstetter Dome; this is the first time that these mountains were seen from the east side.
Some of Sealy's photos were exhibited as part of a map prepared by von Haast at the 1873 Vienna World's Fair, and Sealy won a silver medal for some of his photos.
When the New Zealand Alpine Club was founded in Christchurch in July 1891, Sealy was elected as one of the vice-presidents.
On 13 October 1873, he married Frances Sarah Sanderson (born 21 September 1855) at the family's homestead, Greta Peaks, near Scargill in the Hurunui District.
Henry Sealy and his wife Emma were living with them until their adjacent house, 'Heathcliffe', was ready by November that year.
Sealy cut his leg with a sickle during the time of the Richardson scandal in 1876 and spent a month in bed.
Von Haast named a number of geographic features in the Southern Alps for him, including Mount Sealy and the Sealy Tarns in the Sealy Range.
His brother's house, which was accessed via the same driveway, still stands, is known as 'Craighead', and has given its name to the girls' school, Craighead Diocesan School, that is now occupying the land.
When his granddaughter Audrey Barker died in February 1935, the Church of the Good Shepherd at Lake Tekapo was under construction.
She represented Ethiopia at the 2019 African Games in Rabat, Morocco and she won the bronze medal in the women's half marathon.
In the team event, together with Netsanet Gudeta and Zeineba Yimer, she won the gold medal with a combined time of 3:22:27.

Waterworks Road transports traffic between the Brisbane central business district and western suburbs such as Red Hill, Ashgrove and The Gap.
It was surveyed and named in 1864 as a direct route to the site of the Enoggera Dam, which was built from 1864 to 1866.
The tram line was extended from Red Hill to Jubilee Terrace in 1924, and then to Coopers Camp Road in 1935.
Connecting to the terminus of Musgrave Road (which leads into the city), Waterworks Road begins as a four-lane road in Red Hill.
The road then leads into the central section of Ashgrove and intersects with major roads such as Jubilee Terrace and Stewart Road.
It then climbs to the ridge line between Ithaca Creek and Enoggera Creek, and continues west to the Coopers Camp Road intersection.
From there it descends rapidly into the Enoggera Creek valley and proceeds west into the gap between the Taylor Range to the north and Mount Coot-tha to the south.
After crossing Enoggera Creek at Walton Bridge it follows the ridge line between Enoggera Creek and Fish Creek to its transition to Mt Nebo Road.
In 2018, it was proposed that Waterworks Road required an upgrade between Trout Street and Beth Eden Terrace in Ashgrove in order to improve traffic efficiency, reduce congestion and improve safety of road users.
The upgrade includes the addition of a secondary right-turn lane on the Waterworks Road - Stewart Road intersection, the addition of a left-turn lane on the Waterworks Road - Ashgrove Avenue intersection and the relocation of Bus stop 16 on Waterworks Road.
The Brisbane City Council has defined a number of local heritage places in Waterworks Road under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992.
The main frieze has been lost, but it is known that in the corners there were Snakes of Toltec style and that the panels of the walls contained Chaac masks, with a clear influence of Chichen Itza .
On one platform stands the six-room building, the partially well-preserved back of which has a facade design that combines many elements of the Puuc style, but in a form that can be found both in the late Uxmal style and in Chichen Itza.
For this purpose, the crumpled sembfelt sembrooms of the tripartite plinth are as characteristic as the cascades of Chaac masks, which are not, as in the Puuc style, related to striking architectural points, such as entrances and corners, and the division of the upper wall surface into fields with different décor.
At the right angle to the described building is another one with five rooms, from which the entrance to the middle is reminiscent of the Chenes-style snake-mouthed portals.
The tripartite base with alternating smooth surfaces, sifting groups and fields with slanted grids corresponds to the mammalian style of the Puuc.
The only well-preserved structure of this group consists of five rooms in a row, with another arranged behind the larger central space.
The first modern rediscovery efforts began in the winter of 1939 to 1940, with Wyllys Andrews' trip to the Yucatan specifically to explore the site.

As a new strain of rabies takes hold of Venezuelan capital Caracas, Dr. Adam Vargas and friend Johnny fight their way across the city to an international laboratory to create a cure, while also trying to find Adam's son who was staying in the countryside with his grandparents.
A report by Stephen Gibbs for CGTN America about the production described some difficulties that had been encountered in creating the film.
The film also suffered from its low budget and the fact that it was being made during the time of shortages in Venezuela.
Pedota has said that the crew managed to cheaply improvise many items of equipment and props, which they otherwise would have needed to import.
The only non-Venezuelan actor in the film is the Australian Genna Chanelle, a friend of Pedota's whom he asked to be involved.
In January 2020, as an act of defiance against the ban, the film was screened independently around Venezuela, in Mérida, Maracaibo, Barquisimeto and Caracas, including in the Alfredo Sadel Square.
Poore comments on the social situation, too: she notes that in one shot a dead body lies beneath a sign reading 'An achievement of the Bolivarian Revolution', and the film contains anti-Maduro graffiti.

Although Whichone earned important race wins as a three-year-old, injuries hampered his racing career including a bowed tendon sustained in the running of the 1930 Travers Stakes that ended his career.
A Harry Payne Whitney homebred, Whichone was a full brother to Mother Goose, herself an American Champion Two-Year-Old Filly in 1924.
Their sire was Chicle who was bred and foaled in France by their American owner due to the complete shutdown of horseracing in 1911 and 1912 in the state of New York as a result of the Legislature's passage of the Hart-Agnew Law.
Brought to the United States by owner/breeder Harry Payne Whitney, Chicle would become the Leading sire in North America in 1929 and the Leading broodmare sire in North America in 1942.
Chicle was the son of Spearmint, winner of the Epsom Derby in England and the Grand Prix de Paris in France, both races the then most prestigious in their country.
Danny Maher, U. S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee and twice the British flat racing Champion Jockey was quoted as saying that Spearmint was the best horse he ever rode.
Chicle won the 1915 Champagne Stakes in fast time beating a field of six other runners including Friar Rock who in 1916 would be named American Horse of the Year.
Racing Hall of Fame inductee Broomstick who in turn was sired by Ben Brush, twice a U.S. National Champion runner and Leading Sire as well as a U.S.
Trained by Jimmy Rowe Jr. and ridden by Linus McAtee, in 1929 the two-year-old Whichone had wins in three stakes races.
His first came in the August 10 Saratoga Special Stakes at Saratoga Race Course where he won by six lengths in beating eight other juveniles.
Not only was the Futurity the richest race anywhere in the world, Whichone earned $100,730 marking the first time in American history any horse had earned $100,000 for first place money.
but one that would prove costly because the colt came out of the race with an injury that would keep him out of the 1930 Kentucky Derby won by Gallant Fox who he had easily beaten by 6½ lengths in the Futurity.
In mid May it was reported the colt appeared sound and was scheduled to make his first start of the year on May 31 in the one mile Withers Stakes at Belmont Park.
In a tune-up race for the 1930 Belmont Stakes Whichone showed very good form with an easy win in the May 28 Ballot Handicap over one mile at Belmont Park.
Three days later, on a slow Belmont Park track, Whichone almost leisurely captured the May 31 Withers Stakes by four lengths in the slow time of 1:38 1/5 for the mile.
Under instructions from trainer Healey, jockey Raymond Workman continued running for another quarter mile in preparation for the mile and one-half Belmont Stakes.
The Belmont would be Whichone's third start in 11 days and he finished second in a field of just four runners.
On a track rated only as good, Whichone struggled until they made the turn for home but his challenge was not enough to catch Gallant Fox who won easily by three lengths and becoming the second horse to win the U.S.
Scheduled to compete against Gallant Fox again in the June 28 Dwyer Stakes, yet again Whichone came up with another injury and had to be scratched.
The quartercrack in a forefoot kept the colt out of racing until the August 6 Saranac Handicap at the Saratoga Race Course.
Once again, three days after that win, Whichone ran in the August 12 Miller Stakes as a final prep for the very important Travers Stakes in which he would be certain to meet Gallant Fox again.
He did it in the very fast time of 1:56 2/5 for a mile and three-sixteenths which broke the stakes record set by Enfilade in 1918 and equaled by the legendary Man o' War in 1920.
In what would become the most talked about upset in American Thoroughbred racing folklore, a 100 to1 longshot named Jim Dandy won the August 16, 1930 Travers Stakes beating runner-up Gallant Fox by six lengths.
Whichone finished five lengths further back in third being pulled up by jockey Raymond Workman when he knew the horse was seriously hurt.
While he would never sire any runner that was even remotely close to being his equal on the racetrack, he did produce several that met with some success.
From Whichone's first crop in 1932, a colt bred and retained by Sonny Whitney named Today looked very promising after he won the 1935 Wood Memorial Stakes by three lengths.

Various women's theaters started up in the 1970s and 1980s, an outgrowth of the political and social activism of the times.
Early leaders included Michelene Wandor, Martha Boesing, Caryl Churchill and The Women's Theater Group (renamed as Sphinx Theatre Company in 1999) in London.
However, even with that increased parity, mens roles continue to outweigh women's roles in mainstream theater, and the situations and challenges facing women continue to be severe.
There are currently a large number of theaters again that are either explicitly feminist, explicitly women's theaters, or that define themselves as inclusive of women's perspectives specifically.
The Women's Movement resulted in feminist theatre around the U.S., in England, and in other parts of the world in the 1970s, and it has continued to be a global genre ever since.
The goals of feminist theatre continue to be extreme, including exploration of social injustices and inequalities in order to identify transformative possibilities and solutions.
The chartered company was founded by Marquis of Pombal, then a powerful Portuguese minister, to develop and control commercial activity in the State of Grão-Pará and Maranhão, including a monopoly of the trade in African slaves, given the prohibition of enslaving the indigenous peoples of the region, and of the naval transport of all merchandise to the region for a period of 20 years.
In accumulating so many privileges, the chartered company also caused resentment toward the local elites, which was neglected by the Marquis of Pombal who wanted to protect his financial interests in the region.
As an additional advantage for the government was that its control of the company gave it the means to cover up the widespread practice of smuggling and tax evasion.
Ships of the company left Belém, founded in 1616 by the kingdom, weighed down with rice, cotton, cocoa, ginger, wood and medicinal plants, and moreover the slave trafficking.
Between 1755 and 1777, the estimated population of African slaves - they had been taken from their homes in Cacheu, Bissau and Angola - grew from 3,000 to 12,000, all of whom had been bought with company funds.
With the death of the King of Portugal, Joseph I, and the fall of his powerful statesman the Marquis of Pombal, the period known as Viradeira began.
Mary I Queen, Joseph I's daughter, was contended with all of the Marquis of Pombal's policies, and in 1778 she not only revoked the monopoly but closed the company itself.
Bek Air Flight 2100 was a domestic passenger flight from Almaty to Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, operated by a Fokker 100 that crashed on 27 December 2019 while taking off from Almaty International Airport.
The aircraft involved was a Fokker 100 built in 1996 which previously flew with Formosa Airlines, Mandarin Airlines, Contact Air, and OLT Express Germany, before joining the Bek Air fleet in 2013 as UP-F1007.
The aircraft was also leased to Safi Airways in February 2017, returned to Bek Air, and finally leased to Air Djibouti in December 2018, before being returned again.
The plane took off from runway 05R and lost altitude shortly afterwards; during take-off its tail was reported to have hit the runway twice.
It reportedly turned to the right and hit a concrete perimeter fence, before impacting a two-storey building in a residential area, close to the perimeter track, at approximately 7:22a.m.
The front of the aircraft broke away from the main fuselage, sustaining significant damage, and the tail broke off at the rear.

The Betta mahachaiensis, is a species of bubble-nesting fighting fish native to Thailand, where they occur naturally near the Gulf of Thailand.
It was found in the Samut Sakhon Province of Thailand,and the name is a derivation of the Thai name for the sub-district.
It contains only a single species, Cabarzia trostheidei, which is based on a well-preserved skeleton found in red beds of the Goldlauter Formation.
This holotype specimen, NML-G2017/001, was discovered in 1989 by Frank Trostheide, a fossil collector prospecting at the Cabarz Quarry in the Thuringian Forest of Germany.
This quarry preserves a large portion of the Goldlauter Formation, which is a sequence of Early Permian red beds, lake sediments, and volcanic layers slightly older than the nearby Artinskian or Kungurian-age red beds of the Tambach Formation.
Preliminary study of the specimen tentatively considered it an araeoscelidian diapsid reptile, but a 2019 study by Frederik Spindler, Ralf Werneburg, and Jörg W. Schneider reasoned against that assignment after comparing the postcranial anatomy of small Permian amniotes such as basal synapsids, parareptiles, and eureptiles.
Like other varanopids (and diapsids), the tibia and fibula were each relatively long, more than 80% the length of the femur.
The advantage of passive bipedalism is not fully understood, even in living reptiles, though it may be involved with increased coordination or assistance in the capture of flying insects.

Sulfonium-based oxidations of alcohols to aldehydes summarizes a group of organic reactions that transform a primary alcohol to the corresponding aldehyde (and a secondary alcohol to the corresponding ketone).
Conceptually, generating an aldehyde and dimethylsulfide from an alcohol and DMSO requires a dehydrating agent for removal of HO, ideally an electrophile simultaneously activating DMSO.
In comparisons, sulfonium-based methods are popular because reactions are efficient (high yields, comparably fast, no over-oxidation, few side reactions, reproducible results), reaction conditions are mild (low temperature, no strong acids or bases), reactions are operationally simple (no specialized equipment or uncommon and/or costly reagents necessary, byproducts often easily separated, tolerant of oxygen and moisture,) and they generally avoid highly toxic starting materials and toxic waste disposal.
However, the reactions are not too popular with many undergraduate chemistry students in the laboratory since the common byproduct dimethylsulfide is a strong odorant, reminiscent of fouling eggs, that requires a well-ventilated fume hood.
Other drawbacks might include excess of base, handling of the dehydrating agent, limited choice of solvent or side reactions at elevated temperature, e.g.
In consequence this means that the activity of the oxidation can not be tuned at will by increasing the reaction temperature, e.g.
The sulfonium oxidations can be categorized into two groups: The methods discovered earliest rely on activated alcohols like alkyl tosylates (Kornblum) or alkyl chloroformates (from reaction of alcohols with phosgene: Barton-Kornblum) that react as electrophiles when treated with DMSO, liberating an oxygenated leaving group (e.g.
However, the additional step for pre-activation of the alcohol and sometimes harsh reaction conditions for the nucleophilic displacement proved less convenient.
Depicted below is the activated sulfoxide generated during Swern oxidation 4 reacting with a secondary alcohol 5 to form alkoxysulfonium species 6.
These activated sulfoxides react as electrophiles when treated with an alcohol, expelling a leaving group that might simultaneously function as counter-ion to the alkoxysulfonium species () generated.
Upon deprotonation – usually assisted by a mild base like triethylamine – the alkoxysulfonium species decomposes, yielding the aldehyde and dimethylsulfide.

The 1928 United States presidential election in Oregon took place on November 6, 1928, as part of the 1928 United States presidential election.
Apart from Woodrow Wilson’s two elections, during the first of which the GOP was severely divided, no Democrat since William Jennings Bryan in 1900 had carried a single county in the state.
In 1924 Oregon had nonetheless been the fifth-strongest of the fifteen Western and Plains States for Democrat John W. Davis behind Ozark mountaineer-dominated Nebraska, Mormon Utah and southern-leaning New Mexico and Arizona.
Moreover, although maverick Wisconsin Senator Robert M. La Follette Sr. fared less well than in the other Pacific States, he still gained nearly one in four of Oregon’s ballots as an independent.
However, when La Follette died in 1925 his family endorsed New York City Catholic Democrat Al Smith, towards whose faith Oregon’s largely Puritan (in the northwest) or Ozark Methodist (in the south and east), Anglo-Saxon and fiercely anti-Catholic populace was strongly hostile.
Despite this severe wariness, Smith did manage to win the state’s Democratic presidential primary against token opposition from Missouri Senator James Reed and Montana Senator Thomas Walsh, whilst Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover won the state’s Republican primary unopposed with over six times as many voters.
From the beginning polls showed opposition to Smith’s Catholicism and anti-Prohibition views as very strong in Oregon, and neither major party would campaign in the state during the fall.
October polls showed Hoover winning the state by a two-to-one margin and Smith gaining no more than a quarter of the La Follette vote.
Consequently, Republican nominee Hoover was able to gain 13.17 percent upon Calvin Coolidge’s 1924 performance in the Beaver State and become the fifth Republican in seven presidential elections to sweep all Oregon’s counties.

Lupogo joined the Tanzania People's Defence Force (TPDF) on 23 July 1965 and was commissioned as an officer on 21 January 1966.
In 1970 he went to North Korea as part of a military delegation to inspect units of the Korean People's Army.
From 1971 to 1974 Lupogo was Commandant of the TPDF's Officer Cadet School and from 1974 until 1976 he acted as the Tanganyika African National Union's assistant secretary for defence and security.
The TPDF embarked on a programme of expansion and in January 1979 Lupogo acted as a recruitment officer at the military camp in Makambako.
When Tanzanian commanders feared that a Ugandan regiment was due to attack them from Mubende, they dispatched Lupogo and his brigade north from Masaka to intercept it.
Their efforts were unsuccessful and Tanzanian morale steadily dropped until TPDF commanders decided to withdraw Lupogo and replace him with Brigadier Muhiddin Kimario.
After the fall of Kampala, Lupogo was contacted by one of his former professors from Makerere University about the status of the body of Hans Poppe, a Tanzanian police official who had been killed in a 1971 border clash with Uganda and since kept in a Kampala mortuary.
Following the end of his military service, Lupogo acted variously as the Regional Commissioner for Iringa, Director General of the Arusha International Conference Centre, and Board Chairman of the Benjamin Mkapa Foundation.
He fell ill and died on 19 October 2014 at Lugalo Military Hospital in Dar es Salaam at the age of 76.

In abstract algebra, the Eakin–Nagata theorem states: given commutative rings formula_1 such that formula_2 is finitely generated as a module over formula_3, if formula_2 is a Noetherian ring, then formula_3 is a Noetherian ring.
The theorem can also be deduced from the characterization of a Noetherian ring in terms of injective modules, as done for example by David Eisenbud in ; this approach is useful for a generalization to non-commutative rings.
The following more general result is due to Edward W. Formanek and is proved by an argument rooted to the original proofs by Eakin and Nagata.
By assumption, the set of all formula_7, where formula_8 is an ideal of formula_3 such that formula_10 is not Noetherian has a maximal element, formula_11.
Choose a set of generators formula_21 of formula_6 and then note that formula_20 is faithful if and only if for each formula_24, the inclusion formula_25 implies formula_26.
Thus, it is clear that Zorn's lemma applies to the set formula_18, and so the set has a maximal element, formula_28.

First unveiled in the Russian Army Expo 2017 alongside the AM-17, the AMB-17 (, awaiting GRAU designation), is an integrally suppressed assault rifle that uses a heavy subsonic 9×39mm SP5 cartridge and armor-piercing SP6 cartridge.
It was developed and manufactured by in the late 2010s by Kalashnikov Concern based on the Yevgeny Dragunov MA Compact Rifle.
The weapon is intended for use as a close quarters weapon, primarily for special units of the Russian Interior Ministry and the Russian Army to replace the AS Val and VSS Vintorez firearms.
The AMB-17 unlike previous firearms in current use with the Russian military differentiates itself by employing two receivers that connect on a hinge instead of a single stamped receiver with a lid.
To do this the upper receiver itself is made from polymer and steel reinforcements, while the lower receiver along with its magazine housing is made entirely from polymer and connected to the upper receiver by two captive take down cross-pins reducing the weight of the firearm significantly and allowing for easier access into the internal operation.
The gas operated action within is a short stroke gas piston and rotary bolt which locks with three radial lugs on the bolt head similar to previous 9x39mm carbines such as the VSK-94.
The bolt carrier within the upper receiver is almost streamline by design raising it towards the bolt group reducing both bolt friction and felt user recoil.
The weapon has an integral suppressor mounted on the front of the upper receiver which wraps around the barrel, to fit this suppressor the AMB-17 employs a wider opening within its handguard compared to its sister AM-17 along with the front of the upper receiver which also allows for an integrated handguard half-length MIL-STD/1913 Picatinny railing.
The integrated upper also includes a full-length MIL-STD/1913 Picatinny railing, polymer side-folding and adjustable (telescoping) shoulder stock, and longitudinal slots in the walls of the upper receiver allowing for ambidextrous controls in both the fire selector and charging handle.
It is equipped with a hardened steel or tungsten tip and can penetrate a high-density steel plate at 100 m; a steel plate or a standard army helmet can be fully penetrated at 500 m; however, the rifle is typically employed under 400 m.
The ferry was established in 1860 in order to connect two sections of Cariboo Road across the Fraser River during the height of the Cariboo Gold Rush.
The ferry operated until 1888, when a truss bridge was built further upstream at the site of what is now the Lillooet Suspension Bridge.
In 2016, after the opposition handed over to the National Electoral Council the signatures collected to convene a recall referendum of President Nicolás Maduro, Cabello expressed on 4 May in the program that the directors of public bodies they signed were to leave.
In 2017, Cabello presented a video on his program in which the violinist and activist Wuilly Arteaga was heard supporting the government of Nicolás Maduro.

On 12 February 2015, Libertador Municipality Mayor Jorge Rodríguez during a special broadcast, denounced the participants of an alleged attempt planned by aviation general Oswaldo Hernández, who was convicted in May 2014 along with nine other military personnel for the crimes of rebellion and against military decorum.
National Assembly president Diosdado Cabello announced the arrests of eight people in Aragua by officials of the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (SEBIN) and the seizure of various equipment, including a computer with information on the tactical objectives of the coup group.
During the program, Mayor Jorge Rodríguez accused National Assembly deputy and opposition politician Julio Borges of choosing the places indicated as tactical objectives.
Cabello also revealed the alleged possession of AR-15 rifles, grenades, military and security uniforms, as well as an eight-minute video with a statement from the protagonists.
According to Cabello, the bombing would be carried out with a Tucano artillery planeafter publishing a statement in the national press requesting the government, among other things, the dissolution of public powers, the call for elections and the affiliation to organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and later the military would issue a uniformed message where they would make a called the population to calm.
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) has expressed concerns about how the program has intimidated people that went to the IACHR denouncing the government.
arrangements of two human rights defenders in his program and how he routinely shows state monitoring of people that may disagree with the government.

Traditionally, most mechanistic and mechanistic-empirical models are developed using deterministic approaches, but more recently researchers and practitioners have become interested in probabilistic models.
If a state or class of the performance measure is of interest, Markov models and classification machine learning algorithms can be utilized.
A limitation of Markov models is that they cannot consider the history of maintenance, which are among important attribute for predicting the future conditions.
A large portion of probabilistic deterioration models are developed based on Markov chain, which is a probabilistic discrete event simulation model.
For instance, in the case of pavement deterioration modeling, the PCI can be categorized into seven classes: good, satisfactory, fair, poor and very poor (or simply 1 to 5).
A Markov model is then developed to predict the probability of transition from state 1 to each of other states in a number of years.
More complex models known as semi-Markov models can account for history of maintenance, but their calibration requires a great deal of longitudinal data.
Recently, efforts have been made to train Markov deterioration models to consider the impact of climate, but generally it is not possible to have climatic attributes or traffic as an input in these types of models.
Despite their high learning capability, neural networks have been criticized for their black-box nature, which does not provide enough room for interpretation of the model.
Examples of other algorithms used for deterioration modeling are decision tree, k-NN, random forest, gradient boosting trees, random forest regression, and naive Bayes classifier.

The Master Mariner is the author’s final work, unfinished at the time of his death, but published in its incomplete form.
Based on the legend of the Wandering Jew, it tells the story of Matthew Lawe, an Elizabethan English seaman who, as punishment for an act of cowardice, is doomed to sail the world's seas until the end of time.
Matthew Lawe, a former pupil at Barnstable Poor School who ran away to sea, is first seen as coxswain to Sir Francis Drake on his flagship, Revenge.
As the Spanish Armada sails to invade England in 1588, Lawe is ordered to take command of the Thomas, one of several fire ships that will be sent against the Spanish galleons.
At a critical moment, Lawe’s courage deserts him and he jumps overboard from the burning ship, leaving Jem, a mortally injured fellow sailor, to his fate.
Lawe is rescued by a galleon, San Virgilio, which fights its way up the North Sea and around the Scottish coast.
They send a foraging party ashore at Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, but many of the party are massacred by the locals.
They manage to bring back a haggard old woman who claims to be the hereditary witch of the local clan with prophetic powers.
Lawe, learning that he is likely to be burned as a heretic at the insistence of the ship’s fanatical priest, manages to escape onto the Isle of Mull, before the ship does indeed catch fire and explode.
The ship sails to Canada to discover the fabled Northwest passage, but becomes ice-bound in what is later named Hudson’s Bay.
When Morgan proposes a raid by several ships under his command to take Panama, the despatch point for Spanish treasure galleons, Lawe is one of those who disagrees with Morgan’s grand plan.
He takes service on a small French patache, captained by Simon Montbarre (a character possibly based on the historical Daniel Montbars),who is even more ruthless than Morgan.
They land on a small unnamed island, where they find fresh water and fresh food, then set up lanterns on the palm trees to lure ships to the reef that they may loot them.
Finally sick of the slaughter, Lawe contrives to rescue a young girl and they hide inland, knowing that Montbarre will assume them to have taken a longboat out to sea.
He allows the child to also die, buries them and gives himself up to visiting Caribs, who take him by boat to Barbados.
Here, in a tavern, he meets a fellow sailor from Morgan’s ship, who tells him that both Morgan and Montbarre still seek him.
King Charles II, his current Mistress, the Duchess of Portsmouth, the Secretary to the Navy, Samuel Pepys and many other high and mighty people are there to see the launch of a new Royal Yacht, the ‘HMY Fubbs’, named after the Duchess (her nickname).
Lawe joins the hangers- on and learns that whoever recovers the ship’s golden christening cup that will be thrown into the water can demand a ransom for it.
He also contrives to speak to Pepys, who explains something of his efforts to professionalise the navy and improve conditions for seamen.
Lawe’s store of money dwindles after much visiting of Portsmouth taverns with his new fair-weather friends, and he ships on a collier, arriving at the Pool of London a year later.
By pure chance, through his assistance to a Thames waterman, he again meets Pepys, who has just received a new appointment which gives him wide powers within the Navy.
Impressed with Lawe, he takes him in as a clerk, a position that Lawe works hard at, although unaccustomed to office work.
From Pepys, Lawe learns something of London’s recent history which is unaware of, including the Great Fire of London in 1666 which Pepys witnessed, and the Great Plague of London a year earlier.
He serves both King Charles and his successor, James ll, but when King William lll comes to the throne in 1688, all official appointments are suspended.
Believing that he will not be reappointed under King William, Pepys writes a glowing letter of recommendation for Lawe, and leaves office.
Having made friends with Edward Lloyd, whose coffee-house (Lloyd's Coffee House) has become a gathering place for businessmen and ship-owners, he is given a job there.
In 1720, he is swept up in the speculation fever that will lead to the South Sea Bubble, and pays all his hard-earned money to a fly-by-night stockjobber promising an impressive return.
After six months in prison, he meets Lucy, one-time servant in Pepys’s house, who claims to know a man who may be able to get him released.
He must agree to serve for five years on a ship and pay his first two year’s wages and bonuses to the agent.
The man arranges, by bribery, for Lawe to walk out of prison; he is now a fugitive debtor and effectively an outlaw.
He finds himself doing backbreaking, filthy and highly dangerous work with a motley crew on the longboat of Consuela, a Portuguese ship fishing for cod on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland.
At the end of the season, the captain, impressed with Lawe, invites him to rejoin the ship when they return for the next season.
Lawe, Trail, Bac and Jorgensen, a giant yellow-maned Dane who claims descent from Vikings, live in a small hut, as do the other men who have elected to stay behind.
Food runs short and they barely survive by trading with a local Indian, whom they name ‘Sitting Mouse’, as he never speaks.
Lawe and Bac manage to get the broken body back to their hut, but Trail has deserted with the remaining food supplies.
In the Spring, when the ice starts to melt, they launch the body on a raft out to sea in an imitation of a Viking burial, as Jorgensen had wanted.
The port of St John’s, although theoretically a British colony with a Governor, is in fact ruled by Captain Jasper Bunce, the ‘Fishing Admiral’, a self-appointed tyrant claiming his authority from the Crown.
When a Royal Navy ship, HMS Pembroke (1757) anchors in the harbour, he decides to defect, even if it means surrendering to Impressment.
The Master of the ship is James Cook and Lawe becomes Cook’s assistant, impressing with his knowledge of navigation in the local waters.
The advance party, carrying soldiers and marines who will form part of an army led by James Wolfe, is to survey the treacherous waters of the river.
Wolfe bides his time in leading the British army in a siege of Quebec, until he detects a narrow and treacherous path up the cliff to the Plains of Abraham.
With Matthew at his side, now with an officer’s commission, he spends many years on different ships surveying places around the world.
This goes on for four years; in 1790, he again meets Nelson, who is now married, in London, whilst longingly watching ships in the Pool of London.
He is satisfied with his lot, despite the bitterly cold winters, but Nelson is increasingly frustrated not to have a naval command.
Finally, in the aftermath of the French revolution, the government decides to again mobilise the naval forces, and Nelson is given command of a ship of the line, HMS Agamemnon (1781).
Wishing to command a willing crew, rather than impressed men, Nelson dispatches Lawe back to Norfolk to recruit experienced and eager sailors.
Nelson’s ship is attached to a fleet commanded by Admiral Hood and despatched to the Mediterranean to blockade the French port of Toulon.
It is then detached, with orders to proceed to Naples, where Nelson must persuade the Neapolitans to join the fight against France.
After his victories over the French and Spanish fleets at the Battle of Cape St Vincent and others, Nelson, now a Rear-Admiral, commands the fleet from his flagship, HMS Vanguard (1787).
In 1805, Nelson, on board his flagship HMS Victory, engages the French and Spanish fleets, leading to the Battle of Trafalgar.
He is a witness to the fatal shooting of Nelson by a French sharpshooter, and also witnesses the death of Nelson.

Johan de Ridder (Pretoria, 21 January 1927 – Pretoria, 29 January 2013) was a South African architect noted for his contribution to religious and public architecture.
Of the major Afrikaner church-architects, including for example Gerard Moerdijk, Wynand Louw, Hendrik Vermooten and J. Anthonie Smith, he designed and built the largest number of churches for the Reformed Churches in South Africa.
He is best known for a fresh and personal approach to Reformed Church architecture, but this is not the only building type where his example was studied and emulated.
It is because he reached beyond the simple requirement of function in his search and design, thus consciously allowing for local realities of climate, terrain, building material, building science and craftsmanship to be realistic and creative generators of structures.
The resultant buildings and places celebrated land- and cityscapes with which they were contextually interwoven and expedited the development of a South African way of architectural thought, based on and advocating a contemporary worldview.
The same values, fuelled by a love of history, language and country, found expression in restoration work, such as at Paul Kruger’s farm house at Boekenhoutfontein, where he paid tribute to past achievements, and also in houses and bigger buildings, such as the Land Bank building in Pretoria, where again he was true to the present – the time in which he lived and worked.
Closest to his heart was possibly the building of churches and his pursuit was for a worthy and meaningful architecture embracing worship.
The building emerges from a plan and, in its turn, the plan is determined by the function of the building.” In addition, he argued, there was an inherent symbolism and aesthetic in his churches suggesting the Word of God moving from the pulpit, over the congregation and, through the windows, to the world beyond.
It is the symbolism of the church as a tent trekking through the desert of this temporary existence on the journey towards eternity.” The church is therefore a visual symbol of transience with the tent-shape a direct architectural translation of the concept of having no fixed abode.
De Ridder’s three principles, applied to both religious and secular buildings, were firstly that the architecture should be contemporary, secondly that form should emerge from the meaning of the function and thirdly that the structure should be economic and affordable.
As an architect, he had the rare experience that his designs remained appreciated and current in his lifetime, and are still being studied and analysed as historically significant in a quest for authenticity.
His work was published widely in South Africa and also internationally in both acknowledged academic journals and more popular monthly architectural magazines where his ideas and decisions are revisited and re-evaluated.
The church was a visual symbol of aspects of our faith, while simultaneously retaining the basic idea of the Reformation that all external symbols should be avoided.
Excluding the Dutch Reformed church located in Aranos in southern Namibia, all De Ridder's designs were for buildings in the former Transvaal (province) and in the northern Free State (province).
After the start of Operation Barbarossa (June 1941), the H.Kdo saw its first action at the beginning of July 1941 in the Battle of Kiev (1941).

When the Soviets launched Operation Bagration on 23 June 1944, The Corps was surrounded during the Bobruysk Offensive and completely destroyed.

Shia Wong Hip Limited () is a restaurant specialising in snake dishes located on Apliu Street in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
Founded in 1965 by Chau Xiang, the restaurant specialises in snake soup and serves Cantonese cuisine made from exotic animals such as wattle-necked softshell turtles, crocodiles, geckos, silkworms, and seahorses.
The restaurant purchases its snakes from mainland China, Indonesia, and Malaysia and supplements its income by selling snakes to restaurants and snakeskin to factories that make wallets, shoes, handbags, and belts.
Chau Xiang's daughter, Chau Ka Ling, in 1971 started working at the restaurant from age 13 and took over the business in 1991 after her father died.
When the building owner saw it was a profitable business and wanted to start a business there, Chau was forced to raise funds from his friends to relocate the restaurant to Apliu Street in the late 1970s.
Chau's family had a challenging experience because Sham Shui Po station was not open yet and the restaurant did not have enough business.
Previously a group of people owned shares in the restaurant, though eventually Chau became sole owner and he was then succeeded by his children.
Shia Wong Hip is currently located on Apliu Street and is concealed at the rear of market stalls on the street.
It is owned by Chau Ka Ling (), the second-generation operator of the restaurant who as a youth learned from her father, the restaurant's founder, how to deal with snakes.
She began working at the restaurant in 1971 when she was 13 years old, as she was not doing well with her homework and wanted to find her happiness in the family business.
One shifu was an expert in how to handle snakes while a second was an expert in how to make snake soup.
In her first three months at the restaurant, she would only slice snake meat as she was too fearful to actually kill the snake.
After witnessing the daughter of the owner of snake restaurant Sher Wong Yip on Nam Cheong Street kill snakes, she summoned enough courage to begin killing snakes herself.
Her father had high demands for her, instructing her to perform different aspects of the business such as cleaning and welcoming customers.
Chau Ka Ling was the only one to assist with running the restaurant until her father died in 1990 or 1991 of a heart attack when buying snakes in Guangzhou, after which her younger siblings started to take part in the business.
Despite her instructing both of them how to defang snakes, a single brother agrees to do it because of the risk of harm.
After getting tired of working with snakes, he studied abroad in the United States for electronic engineering and returned to Hong Kong to work in an electronics factory.
Upon the closure of the factory owing to the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Chau left the electronics industry in 2000 and returned to work at Shia Wong Hip.
In 2003, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak led China to bar exports of snake and caused speculation that snakes are carriers for SARS, which led to Shia Wong Hip having purchases down by 70%.
Shia Wong needed to import snakes from Southeast Asia, which raised costs because shipment fees led snakes from Southeast Asia to be 30% more expensive than those from China and shipped snakes were more likely to die.
According to the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, in 2013 Shia Wong was one of only 18 stores in Hong Kong licenced to sell live snakes.
Shia Wong Hip sources five kinds of snakes from China, Indonesia, and Malaysia two times a week to create its soup.
It previously sourced most snakes from Mainland China but began importing snakes from other countries after China began curbing the sale of snakes outside the mainland.
The restaurant boils the snake soup base from 9:00pm to 3:00am, after which slices of snake meat, fungus, ginger, and Jinhua ham are mixed in.
Shia Wong Hip receives licences from Hong Kong's Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department and other countries' analogous departments to import snakes to Hong Kong.
Shia Wong Hip resells snakes to restaurants such as The Chinese Restaurant at Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui and sells snakeskin to factories that produce wallets, shoes, handbags, and belts.
Its customers eat dishes such as snake soup in the belief that it will heat up their body during the winter cold.
In October2017, the restaurant had fewer customers which Chau attributed to climate change causing Hong Kong to have a warm winter.
The Jung Joon-young KakaoTalk chatrooms was an entertainment and sex scandal in South Korea which crimes were made public in March 2019 as part of the Burning Sun scandal.
The inter-locking scandals were tied together by the release of revealing KakaoTalk messages that exposed alleged crimes at the Burning Sun nightclub, and separately, by singer and entertainer Jung Joon-young and his friends.
While the Burning Sun scandal revolved around a nightclub and Korean idol Seungri of the group Big Bang, Jung's chatroom exposé affected more idol friends and other acquaintances of Jung's.
The chatroom portion of the larger scandal included allegations of rape and spy cams when Jung confessed to secretly filming himself having sex with women and sharing the videos, without their knowledge or consent, and he resigned from the entertainment industry on March 12, 2019, a day after Seungri's resignation related to allegations in the Burning Sun.
Jung's KakaoTalk messages revealed conversations and videos dating from 2015 to 2016 which were used in a police investigation which resulted in gang rape convictions (two victims, separate dates) on November 29, 2019, of Jung and four other chatroom members: a former member of F.T.
Island, Choi Jong-hoon; a former Burning Sun employee named Kim; a businessman named Kwon; and a former employee of YG Entertainment named Heo.
During the course of the investigation, other charges were made against Seungri and solo singers Roy Kim and Eddy Kim for allegations of sharing, individually, one illicit photograph in Jung's chatrooms.
Jung Joon-young, a 30-year-old singer-songwriter and television celebrity, whose nationality is Korean, was born in Jakarta, moved to China at the age of five, then lived in France and Japan before moving to South Korea at age 19; and learned several languages, including Chinese and English, which he speaks fluently.
Before getting caught up in the scandal, he was busy conducting a U.S. tour in October 2018 with his rock band Drug Restaurant, which he had formed in 2015, and preparing for the opening of his Korean-style fusion restaurant in Paris with a two-week trial period in November 2018.
Jung had been involved in a previous sex-video scandal in August 2016, when an ex-girlfriend filed charges that he had taped them having sex, without her consent, but later dropped the charges.
Jung began his career as a contestant on the audition show Superstar K 4 in 2012, where he placed third, and where he met, and became long-term friends with, the show's winner and another of the chatroom participants, singer-songwriter soloist Roy Kim, whose real name is Kim Sang-woo, age 25.
He is no relation to Roy Kim, but was another contestant on the Superstar K 4 show in 2012 with him and Jung.
On February 26, 2019, the first KakaoTalk messages were released in connection with the ongoing investigation of the Burning Sun scandal, but the source of the KakaoTalk messages was not revealed.
The whistleblower had sent an email to Bang, of thousands of chats taken from Jung's phone, which took place over eight months between 2015 and 2016.
When the Burning Sun scandal started, the phone messages were forwarded to the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission and to SBS funE; and the secretly filmed sex tapes and other chat messages on Jung's phone became public.
During the SBS interview, the integrity of the chatroom file was discussed, and was said to have a tamper-proof device, technically a hash-code verification, showing that the file had not been manipulated; and could stand as circumstantial evidence to seek more evidence.
The phone belonged to Jung, who was in Los Angeles filming for another television show when the news of his involvement in the chatrooms reached him.
He hurriedly returned to Seoul on Tuesday evening, March 12, where he was booked as a suspect on charges of illegal hidden camera filming and sharing, accused of taping 10 or more women.
In the 2016 hidden camera case, his victim, an ex-girlfriend, withdrew her complaint of his filming them having sex without her consent, but a March 13 SBS report had added allegations of possible police tampering with the case.
Seungri's and Jung's inter-locking scandals were combined in public televised view when both were called into the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency (SMPA) station on March 14, with more than 100 journalists gathered for Jung's 10 a.m. appearance.
It consisted of his arrival, and apology, before entering the station for questioning and a drug test; followed similarly by Seungri, some three hours later.
Seungri exited first, at around 6:15 a.m. on March 15, some 16 hours later, and he told reporters, as he exited, that he would be putting in a request to delay his mandatory military service later in the month.
On the same date, March 14, two other Korean idols resigned from entertainment after allegations they were involved in Jung's chatrooms.
Choi had been a member of one of the chatrooms that was of immediate interest in media reports and the investigation, a group of eight: Seungri, Jung, Choi, Yoo In-seok, and four non-celebrities.
In one conversation, Choi allegedly detailed his own drunk driving incident from 2016, and which was allegedly kept out of media coverage due to help from a police official, surnamed Yoon.
The next day, March 15, another Korean idol, Lee Jong-hyun, age 29, of rock band CNBLUE, presently serving in the military, made his admission through a statement from his agency, FNC Entertainment.
Lee said that he had viewed Jung's sex videos in a chat group and had made disparaging remarks, talking about women as sexual objects.
He was charged with crimes against at least ten victims, of illegally filming and distributing sex videos, which he shared with eight people in a 2015 chat group.
Jung admitted to the charges and apologized at the hearing for his arrest at the Seoul Central District Court in Seoul, and was taken to the SMPA Jongno Police Station.
On March 29, he was transferred from the police station again to the prosecution for referral of an indictment, and he was indicted on April 17.
On April 2, 2019, SMPA issued a summons for soloist, Roy Kim, who they said appeared in the illegal chatroom with Jung, Seungri and Choi, and booked him the following day for distributing an obscene photo in the chatroom, which he denied taking himself, and which investigators agreed was likely the case.
On April 5, another soloist, Eddy Kim, not related to Roy Kim, was booked as part of the chat group, for circulating an illegally taken photograph or more than one, the number was not specified.
On April 3, the agency for Kangin of boy band Super Junior, Label SJ, released a statement admitting that Kangin had been a member of Jung's chatroom, while working together on a TV show three years prior, and denied any illegal activity on his part.
On April 4, police said that Kangin, Jeong Jin-woon of boy band 2AM, and model Lee Cheol-woo were members of the chatrooms, but they had no plans to question them yet.
An early April police tally said that seven chatroom members had been booked for disseminating spycam content; and there were a total of 23 different groups or one-on-one chatrooms, with 16 participants.
On April 19, the first victim complaint against chat group members since the beginning of the scandal was filed on Jung, Choi and three others, former employees of the Burning Sun and YG Entertainment, and a businessman.
The victim alleged she was raped in a hotel room in 2016 while she was passed out, and the incident was filmed by the group.
He had met with some of the women from the videos, who were unaware of what had happened to them, perhaps due to having been drugged.
On April 23, SMPA began an investigation into the complainant's allegations, which reportedly occurred at a hotel in Daegu in March 2016, after a fan signing event for Jung; and a second similar rape case at a resort in Hongcheon in January 2016, where another alleged victim traveled with chat group members, including Jung and Choi.
SMPA said they were aware of group rape after examining the videos, but had not been able to identify the victims until they came forward.
The cases were assigned to the SMPA's Women and Juvenile Affairs Division, who have expertise in crimes against women, including sexual assault.
Choi Jong-hoon was arrested on May 9 for allegations of group sexual assault with four members of Jung's chat group in March 2016; after appearing at a hearing with two others and denying the charges against him.
Another male, surname Kwon, was also arrested; with both Choi and Kwon charged under the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc.
Jung, who was still under police custody, pled guilty to 11 cases of the illicit filming and sharing at a May 10 pretrial hearing, where he offered to settle with the victims.
On May 17, SMPA referred the gang rape case of the five chat group members to prosecutors, recommending indictments on charges of special rape.
On June 5, after indictments, the Seoul Central District Court merged the trials for the five previously accused, Jung, Choi, Kwon, a Burning Sun MD named Kim, and an entertainment director named Heo, to include two charges of gang rapes of two victims in 2016, in Hongcheon in January, and Daegu in March.
At the first trial hearing on July 16, which included the illegal filming and sharing and rape charges, Jung and Kwon admitted to having sex but denied rape, and Choi denied having sex.
Jung's lawyer submitted a statement contesting the legality of evidence obtained from the KakaoTalk messages in violation of the Personal Information Protection Act.
The court specified five victims, two reference witnesses, a time period for the alleged illegal photography from November 2015 to June 2016, the dates of the alleged rapes on January 9 and March 20 2016, and the need for confidentiality of the victims.
The next trial dates, on August 19, August 26, September 2, September 16, September 23, October 7 and October 21 were closed to the public.
Prosecutors also asked that all five be restricted from working with children and minors for 10 years, be required to disclose personal information, and undergo sexual violence treatment programs.
On November 29, the court sentenced Jung to six years in prison and Choi to five, and both were sentenced to complete 80 hours of sexual assault treatment and a five-year restriction on working with children and minors.
The other three defendants were also sentenced, with Kim receiving a five-year prison sentence, Kwon a four-year prison sentence, and Heo received a suspended sentence and two years probation and 160 hours of community service.
On January 30, 2020, Jung and Choi were indicted by prosecutors on more charges, along with nine others in the Burning Sun case, Jung for allegations of soliciting prostituion and Choi for bribing a police officer during his drunk driving incident in February 2016.
The SBS investigative reporter who examined the KakaoTalk chat messages sent by the whistleblower to the television station SBS funE was Kang Kyung-yoon.
Kang said that the sex video investigation was seen by some people as a means to avert attention away from the larger corruption scandal with its multiple allegations, but she perceived it as a serious social issue that needed reporting on.
On November 25, 2019, following the assumed suicide of idol Goo Hara, Kang said that Goo, who had undergone public scrutiny over a sex video that was filmed by her boyfriend, had contacted her to offer support.
Jung was investigated and arrested for allegations of illegal hidden camera filming and distributing, and on May 10 conceded to the charges, at the first hearing for his trial.
Choi was also indicted for the attempted bribery of a police officer in 2016 to cover up a case of driving under the influence (although an initial police investigation was dropped), and for illegal hidden camera filming and distribution.
In late September, Jeong Jin-woon of 2AM, reported in April to have been a member of one of Jung's chatrooms, released a statement that he was not involved in the illegal chatrooms.
At the same time, music site Melon had to explain a banner, recommending a Jung Joon-young album to users, that popped up due to an automated system.
Public protests, led by women's and civic groups, directed towards the Burning Sun scandal and Jung Joon-young's sex-video chatrooms started in March and continued throughout the year.
They said they hoped the anger it had generated would bring a change in the way such cases were looked at and punished; saying that a real change has to come from within a male society that it is not right to share or watch the videos.
It had been one of their favorite South Korean programs since the early 2010s, of analog television viewers in Pyongsong, Nampo, Pyongyang and places closer to the border, and for others through USB sticks and DVDs.
Viewers accused the show of leniency in the handling of Jung's prior public 2016 case of filming his girlfriend, after they allowed him to return to the show after a short absence; and were critical that the production crew had been a part of the group chat that was aware of Cha Tae-hyun and Kim Jun-ho's gambling issues.
Jung's distribution of sex videos was one of the top gender issues talked about on online platforms in South Korea for the first half of 2019, with research showing a growing trend of gender based topics, most in a negative context.
Google Korea's 2019 most popular domestic searched terms included Jung Joon-young ranked at number two over-all, and number one for top public figure; with Burning Sun ranked at number three for domestic news and issues.

It was located on a site, which at the time was between the western border of the garden of the Palais-Royal and the rue de Richelieu and is now at 10 rue de Richelieu in the 1st arrondissement of Paris.
In 1880 Auguste Vitu identified Antoine de Ratabon as the first known inhabitant of the house, as well as its probable constructor, and traced its subsequent ownership.
In 1930 Maurice Dumolin included the lot on which it was built as part of his description of the subdivision of the land surrounding the garden of the Palais-Royal and states that the lot was given to Ratabon by Louis XIV on 25 September 1660, that Ratabon commissioned Pierre Le Muet to design the house, and that it was inherited by his widow, Marie Sanguin, in 1670.
There were three floors: a ground floor with services, a main floor for living, and an attic floor under the roof.
The plan was U-shaped, with the main wing along the rue de Richelieu and two lateral wings enclosing an interior courtyard to the rear with a wall between the courtyard and the garden of the Palais-Royal.
The wall was no more than a single-storey high, thus the main floor had views of the garden of the Palais-Royal.
The street entrance could accommodate carriages (porte-cochère) and opened into a passageway leading to the interior courtyard with the stables to the right of the courtyard at the rear.
Based on the plan, there was a fireplace on the far wall with doors on either side leading to a large bedchamber.
The latter had a doorway on the right leading to the left lateral wing with the landing of a smaller staircase and a private suite beyond.
In 1747, the parish was conceded to a Congregation of Clerics regular, and they patronized the reconstruction of the church by 1748 under designs of Melchiorre Passalacqua, and was consecrated in 1760 by Bishop Gaetano De Carli, and dedicated to Saints Ruffo, Carpoforo Martyr, and Camillo De Lellis.

Built in 1931, the bridge carries Fifth Street across Shoal Creek to link central Austin with neighborhoods that were then the city's western suburbs.
It is one of only a handful of curved cantilever girder bridges in Texas, built as part of the city's 1928 master plan for urban development and beautification.
As the city expanded in the late 1800s, development west of Shoal Creek increased, and demand for a reliable vehicular crossing grew.
In 1887 the city built the West Sixth Street Bridge to carry automobile and streetcar traffic between downtown and the growing western suburbs, but population growth soon led to heavy congestion at this crossing.
The mid 1920s saw two smaller bridges built farther north to service the neighborhoods west of the University of Texas, but downtown traffic continued to exceed the Sixth Street bridge's carrying capacity.
Austin's 1928 master plan proposed the construction of additional bridges to the west and south of downtown to ease travel to and from the city center, and it specified that the bridges should be of ornamental concrete rather than bare structural steel.
A municipal bond funded the construction of some twenty-one bridges and drainage culverts around the city between 1928 and 1932, including the new Fifth Street bridge.
By July 5, 1929, Austin's city council had approved funds for a construction easement along West Fifth Street to the Shoal Creek crossing.
The city undertook renovations in 2008 to repair cracked and broken portions of the concrete and reinforce the deck, but the bridge retains its original design and appearance.
On December 3, 2019, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its significance as an excellent example of an unusual bridge type and a manifestation of early-twentieth-century urban planning in Texas's growing capital city.
The West Fifth Street Bridge is a cantilever girder bridge made of reinforced concrete designed to imitate the appearance of an arch bridge.
It is long and wide, with a central arch that spans between two rounded concrete piers on the bed of Shoal Creek, flanked by two cantilevered spans that rest against concrete abutments at both ends.
Inspired in part by the City Beautiful movement, the bridge was intended specifically to contribute to Austin's civic beauty, as well as improving its road network.
The designer, Hans R. F. Helland of the city's Bond Construction Engineering Department, selected the cantilever design to achieve the aesthetic effect of an arch bridge while allowing for longer spans.
A concrete footpath runs parallel to the creek bed beneath the west half of the bridge's west arch, connected to the deck by a concrete staircase at the bridge's southwest corner.

Knabb Turpentine was the name used for the pine resin harvesting and turpentine distilling businesses operated in northeast Florida by the Knabb brothers: Thomas Jefferson, William, and Earl, of Macclenny.
Turpentine production boomed in North Florida between the late 1800s and 1920s; in the early 1900s, the Knabb family began to build one of the largest turpentine operations in the United States, and by the mid-20th century owned over 200,000 acres of pine forest in Baker County, over half its area.
He made a fortune with the forced labor of jail inmates he leased from Baker, Alachua and Bradford counties, holding the convicts in peonage.
Knabb was elected to the Florida Legislature in 1921 and served as a state senator of District 29 during the 1921, 1923, 1929 and 1931 legislative sessions.
In the winter of 1922, Martin Tabert, a 22-year-old farm boy from a prominent North Dakota family, was beaten to death by Thomas Walter Higginbotham, the chief whipping boss at a turpentine camp in Dixie County owned by the Putnam Lumber Company.
Suffering from malaria, and unable to work as hard as the labor demanded, Tabert, according to the sworn testimony of seveeral witnesses, received a flogging of nearly 100 lashes with a 5-foot-long leather strap by Higginbotham; Tabert died three days later on February 1, 1922.
Because the victim was white rather than black, Tabert's death drew national media attention; previous cases involving black victims had received little notice.
Florida Governor Cary Hardee at first dismissed the incident as an isolated case, but investigations of the Tabert killing by the Florida state legislature in 1923 led to evidence of widespread abuses in north Florida and found that peonage was standard practice at the Baker County turpentine camps belonging to State Senator T. J. Knabb.
The state legislature's investigation was expanded when information surfaced about the abuse suffered by Paul Revere White and of other inmates at Knabb's camps.
White, a nineteen-year old man from Washington, D. C., had been arrested while walking beside a highway near White Springs, Florida.
He was arrested and convicted of vagrancy, for which he was sentenced to serve six months in the Alachua County jail.
Thomas did, however, alert the Florida commissioner of agriculture of White's treatment, and his statement triggered a thorough investigation of conditions at Knabb's camps.
On May 9, 1923, Thelma Franklin, a social worker, former school teacher, and wife of the Glen St. Mary postmaster, testified before the joint committee investigating reports of brutalities inflicted on convicts in Florida.
She gave her testimony while sitting directly across from Senator Knabb in the court room, and described what she had observed as a neighbor of Knabb's turpentine camp.
As subsequent testimony before the committee revealed, residents of the area near the convict camps were aware of their bad conditions and of abuses by the overseers, but some officials involved in local politics were able to avoid their exposure and suppress local outrage.
Thelma Franklin, however, vocally condemned White's treatment and asserted that the deaths of another nine inmates at the camp should be investigated.
Florida's four prison inspectors periodically visited work camps and interviewed prisoners, then reported their findings to the commissioner of agriculture, but only a portion of them were recorded in their official reports.
With abundant evidence of harsh labor conditions and peonage in turpentine camps run by the Knabb Turpentine Company being presented and publicized, the Alachua County commissioners canceled their leasing contract and demanded the return of all county inmates.
Inspector Thomas' suspicions of foul play had been aroused by several questionable deaths at the Knabb camp, including that of a black prisoner who had been convicted, sentenced, leased, and found dead within fourteen days.
After national newspapers exposed the inhumane conditions at Knabb's turpentine camp, and Knabb was allowed to continue leasing prisoners on his word that conditions would be improved, an anonymous group of businessmen in Macclenny took up a collection and paid the fines owed by the convicts held at the Knabb camp, as reported in the Florida Times-Union on May 1, 1923.
T.J. Knabb's brother, William Knabb, operated a large turpentine distillery at Macclenny employing several hundred black workers, which was also the subject of national press coverage when similar abuses there were exposed in 1936.
Men, mostly African American, were held there against their will, generally paid from fifty cents to a dollar a day, and forced to buy provisions at a commissary that charged prices twice those of retailers in the area.
Spies were recruited to inform the boss of discontent among the workers, and beatings were administered frequently to maintain control over them.
In 1936, the U.S. solicitor general announced that the Justice Department was again looking into Knabb Turpentine employment practices, citing numerous complaints of involuntary servitude and peonage.
In November of that year, William and Earl Knabb, Fred Jones, and Ed Hall were charged with violations of peonage laws and arrested by FBI agents and U.S.
It is anchored by Marshalls, Target, Regal Cinemas, and American Signature Furniture, with junior anchors OfficeMax, Petco, and Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse.
Pinellas Square Mall opened on April 13, 1977 with anchor J. C. Penney, followed by Montgomery Ward on November 2, and finally Ivey's on September 18, 1978.
By 1996, the mall was owned by the John Hancock Insurance Company, who acquired the property in lieu of foreclosure after DeBartolo began defaulting on mortgage payments shortly before their acquisition by Simon Property Group.
While they brought in Divaris National LLC to help manage the mall, inline tenants continued to slip and the mall's occupancy rate slipped to 50% by late 1996.
A $20 million renovation, supposed to be started by winter 1996, was delayed due to the owners being unable to gain approval from all three anchors in time.
Renovations began in 1997, with a 120 by 50 feet ice skating rink opening in early August, to be followed by a food court set to open in September; A new movie theater had also been announced at this time, however the operator had not yet been published and it was not open by the malls grand re-opening in October.
By 2000, the mall had again fallen to a 50% occupancy rate, and had begun leasing to alternative tenants such as a public library.
The new theater was set to open in Spring that year, however R/C Cinemas Parkside Movies 16 did not open until March 30, 2001.
The mall had risen to a 62% occupancy rate by 2002, however this included further alternative tenants such as a dance studio and a pet adoption center.
The mall was offered for sale in December 2002 with an asking price of $25 million, with an occupancy rate of 78%, and was later purchased by Tampa-based Boulder Venture South for $12 million in May 2003.
In October 2003 a plan to demolish the mall for a new shopping center, The Shoppes At Park Place, was approved by Pinellas Park officials.
Dillard's closed in January 2004, followed by the JCPenney Outlet Store in May, and the mall finally closed for good in June.
Target officially closed on a property at the new plaza in January 2005, along with American Signature Furniture, Michaels, and several banks and restaurants.
The plaza faced a $71 million foreclosure lawsuit in 2018, resulting in the plaza being listed for sale by Colliers International later that year.

In the 2010s, antisemitism and the number of violent antisemitic attacks on Jews experienced an upward surge in the United States, a nation that had long been regarded as relatively free from antisemitism.
Left-wing rhetorical antisemitism grew and, in the late 2010s, the number of physical attacks on Jewish institutions and attacks on individual Jews dressed in Jewish religious clothing surged.
2019 saw a spate of attacks in which a pedestrians wearing identifiably Jewish clothing were assaulted, beaten and often knocked to the ground by an assailant or group of assailants, many of whom shouted antisemitic slurs.
One assailant, Tiffany Harris, who was released without bail after attacking a Jewish woman, attacked three other Jewish women the very next day; all of the victims were dressed in distinctively Jewish clothing.
Although the Williamsburg and Crown Heights neighborhoods of Brooklyn where most of the assaults have taken place are experiencing gentrification, no similar assaults have been reported on the gentrifiers, although their clothing makes them easy to identify.

The trochlear nerve is a motor nerve that innervates one of the muscles that move the contralateral eye (i.e., the superior oblique muscle).
It emerges from the dorsal aspect of the ventral midbrain, leaves the brain on the dorsal side where it crosses to the opposite side.
The oculomotor nerve originates from the third nerve nucleus at the level of the superior colliculus (in non-mammalian vertebrates this is the optic tectum) in the midbrain.
The rostral part of the nerve crosses the midline to merge with the part of the contralateral nerve that does not cross.
The optic nerve runs from the retina towards the ventral midline of the brain and crosses to the opposite side to continue as the optic tract which inserts to the optic tectum (=superior colliculus)) on the dorsal midbrain (as well as branching off to the thalamus in amniotes).
In mammals and birds and other vertebrates with frontal eyes, the optic nerves do blend in the optic chiasm, and only part of the nerve fibres cross the midline.
The drawings of Cajal suggest that the axons of the optic nerve may branch in the optic chiasm, and thus give off a branch both in the ipsi- and contralateral optic tract.
The hypothesis of Cajal might be valid for the optic chiasm of cephlopods, although in a different manner, because Cajal designed his idea for a chiasm of type II but the cephalopod chiasm os of type III.
In insects, the optic chiasms seem to have evolved gradually, since primitive groups have no chiasm, whereas later evolved groups have one or two optic chiasms along the optic lobe.
In jawless vertebrates (hagfish and lamprey), the optic tracts do cross in the midline, but only after entering the ventral side of the central nervous system.
Therefore, given the obvious and undisputed homology, the optic chiasm is called chiasm also in these clades, even though the crossing is technically a decussation.
Despite the water quality concerns the dams remain popular fishing destinations amongst Carp anglers, the upper lake is one of the most renowned syndicate specimen angling destinations in South Africa.

The Liao River historically bifurcates into two distributaries near the Liujianfang Hydrological Station (六间房水文站) at Xinkaihe Town (新开河镇) of Anshan's Tai'an County, forming the Liao River Delta.
However, the low elevation and the flat, waterway-rich (and often rerouting) topography of the Liao River Delta region created a huge problem in flood control.
During monsoon seasons the storm surges from the Bohai Sea could go as far inland as the Trident confluence, and when meeting the voluminous upstream water from the Liao River, would frequently exceed the capacity of river channels causing massive spill-over flash floods.
This flood risk particularly threatened the cities of Yingkou (which is immediately adjacent to the Daliao River mouth and home to 2 million people) and Haicheng (which has over 1 million residents).
In 1958, a river engineering project was conducted, and the upriver of the Wailiao River at the Liao River bifurcation was blocked off, redirecting the Liao River flow entirely towards the Shuangtaizi River (双台子河), the originally smaller western distributary of the river delta.
This separated the Wailiao, Hun and Taizi Rivers from Liao River permanently, making the Daliao River an independent river system since 1958.

They learn of the vengeful spirit of Hanahiko, an orphaned child who was subject to child abuse by the school's principal for liking to wear skirts and makeup, and who as a spirit killed the school's staff.
The group calms the spirit with Hanahiko's mother's lipstick, a keepsake from when Hanahiko was alive, which absolves everyone's Mark except Yashiki's; Mary believes Yashiki's to be from another spirit, although it is weakened, allowing him to live a while longer.
Major influences for the game included supposedly haunted places and deserted areas in cities, and the spirits were based on urban legends and historical events.
Aksys Games announced at Anime Expo 2018 that they would localize the game and release it in North America and Europe for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, and released it both digitally and physically for those platforms on October 31, 2018.
In addition to the standard release, the game was available in a limited edition including an artbook, a soundtrack CD, a slipcase, and a temporary tattoo of the fatal Mark.
They chose it for localization after internal playing and evaluation, considering it a perfect fit for them due to the horror themes and it being an interactive adventure game.
The PlayStation Vita print release was additionally the best selling physical PlayStation Vita game in the UK during its debut week in December 2018 according to GfK Chart-Track.

CARRP (Controlled Application Review and Resolution Program) is a policy within United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that aims to prevent selected individuals from obtaining citizenship or immigration benefits.
The policy was created in 2008 and mainly targets immigrants from Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim and South Asian communities., with the top 5 countries being Pakistan, Iraq, India, Iran and Yemen.
By law, immigration applications must be adjudicated within 180 days but the program introduces a loop of indefinite delays by citing national security or public safety concerns.
Placement of applications into the program depends on a number of subjective factors and associations such as monetary remittances into middle-eastern countries, loose associations through social media or contact with individuals suspected of being involved in terroristic activities, or unsubstantiated allegations sent to immigration authorities by people opposed to the individuals' immigration efforts.
A number of lawsuits have been filed on behalf of individuals affected by this program, although most have been dismissed after USCIS then approved the complainants applications.

During the 1970s, the Soviet Union identified new requirements for anti-tank weapons, which required self-propelled anti-tank guns to combine mobility, counterattacking firepower and accuracy, allowing them to hit targets at considerable distances from their firing positions.
With these in mind, a decision was made by the USSR military-industrial complex on May 17, 1976, to give the task of designing a lightweight 100 mm-caliber self-propelled anti-tank gun to a group of enterprises.
The gun was designed to be based on the 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer, the entire project being headed by the Yurga Machine-Building Plant, while the automatic radar fire control system would be built by the Tula-based Strela design bureau.
Prototypes of the 2S15 would be built by KB Arsenal, but production did not finish before the deadline, which delayed the presentation of the gun to 1981, when the guns again failed to present themselves.
However, by that time, with the introduction of new models of tanks, the 100 mm gun proved to be of little use against their intended targets.

The game was originally released for the PlayStation Vita, and has since been ported to the PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows, and Nintendo Switch.
In the game, the player investigates haunted locations, searching for clues relating to spirits, aiming to purify or destroy the spirit.
The game was directed by Motoya Ataka, produced by Hajime Chikami, and designed by Yuuki Miura and Tomohiro Kokubu, and was developed to contrast with the previous game in the series in terms of its writing and protagonist, with gradually introduced horror and a hot-blooded player character.
Critics praised the game for its story, characterization, and visuals, and considered it a good game for fans of Asian horror.
During investigations, the player also has access to an optional series of side quests, where the protagonist receives text messages prompting the player to search for cards hidden in objects described in the messages.
When confronting the current spirit in a boss battle, the player makes use of items they have found during their investigation; item descriptions and entries in the protagonist's journal are used to determine what to do.
The battle has different possible outcomes: if the player purifies the spirit, their partner is freed from spiritual shackles, whereas if they destroy the spirit, the spirit's curse is moved onto the player's partner, killing them.
It was written by Kunimitsu Kobayashi, Satoru Okano, Makoto Obara, Kyo Yahagi, and Ryoko Seki, with character designs by Fumiya Sumio, spirit designs by Kera, and concept art by Kazuhiro Oya, and with audio by Naoaki Jimbo.
In trying to get the right mood for the game, the developers looked through tens of thousands of pieces of concept art when looking for artists to recruit to the team, and played through each chapter multiple times, re-creating them from scratch when they did not match their vision.
Aksys Games released the game internationally on October 10, 2019, for the PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft Windows.
Critics liked the game's writing and characterization; the characters were considered impactful, likable, interesting and distinct, with relatable issues, and the sympathy shown for the spirits, with the player having to get to know them, was well received.
Neither of the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4 versions appeared on Media Create's weekly Japanese top 20 sales charts during their debut weeks, meaning they sold less than 3,569 and 2,724 physical copies each, respectively, during that time period.
Shibito Magire (tentative title) is an upcoming adventure video game in development by Experience, planned for release in Q2/Q3 2021 in Japan for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.
The story is set in a Tokyo suburb, and sees the player take the role of Kazuo Yashiki, who is hired to infiltrate a school as a teacher to investigate gruesome, spiritual incidents that occur there every ten years.
The player investigates areas in a side-view perspective together with a number of partner characters; the choice of partner determines which locations the player has access to.
The investigations are conducted together with one of several partner characters; depending on which is chosen, the player has access to different locations and items.
These are used to affect outcomes in dangerous situations, such as when being attacked by a spirit, in a system called Suspensive Act.
The police are unable to explain the incidents, and classify them as accidents, but they are rumored to be caused by spirits.
Because of this, Konoehara's principal hires Kazuo Yashiki of the Kujo family to infiltrate the school as a teacher and investigate the incidents.
The development was financed through a successful crowdfunding campaign on the website Campfire, which began on November 25, 2019, with a goal of 15 million yen (approximately US$140,000), which was reached on December 29 with 17 days remaining of the campaign.
Review of Four FISA Applications and Other Aspects of the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane Investigation is a report by the United States Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General which was released on December 9, 2019 by Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz.
The report reviewed the Crossfire Hurricane investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which looked into whether people associated with the Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign coordinated with Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.
Several issues examined by the report were: the origins of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, the FBI's usage of reports from Christopher Steele, the FBI's applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, and the FBI's use of confidential human sources as part of the investigation, among other issues.
The investigation looked into whether people associated with the Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign coordinated with Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.
On March 18, 2018, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz announced that his office would initiate a review in response to requests from the Attorney General Jeff Sessions and members of Congress.
This announcement came in the wake of allegations by conservative politicians of misconduct by the FBI and the United States Department of Justice (DOJ).
The Republican Party's Nunes memo alleged that the DOJ and FBI abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in their applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) to surveil Carter Page, a former member for the 2016 Trump campaign.
The Nunes memo also alleged that it was not disclosed that the Steele dossier used to justify the applications was indirectly funded in part by the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign, and that the dossier had unconfirmed information.
The report was based on a review of over 1 million Justice Department and FBI documents, as well as 170 interviews of over 100 witnesses.
The OIG also does not have the power to prosecute individuals, but is limited to making criminal referrals to the Department of Justice.
It was confirmed that the investigation was opened due to information shared by a foreign government on George Papadopoulos, which indicated that Papadopoulos was aware of Russia's possession and potential release of information damaging to Trump's rival presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
The report specifically highlighted the FBI's reliance on information provided by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, finding that these reports played a crucial role in justifying surveillance of Page, but that, after gathering information that called Steele's reliability into question, the FBI failed to properly disclose the issues with his reports.
The FBI also labelled a meeting between Page and Russian official(s) as suspicious activity to justify the application, while omitting mention that Page had already disclosed information about the meeting to the American government agency.
It also emerged that one of the sources who provided information to the FBI was a Trump supporter, as were the FBI employees handling this sources.
Horowitz expressed surprise at Durham's statement, and in subsequent testimony stated his view that conclusions should not be announced until an investigation is complete.
Horowitz testified that he had met Durham in November 2019 and requested from Durham any information relevant to the review by his office.
Horowitz also testified that he was not given information by Barr or Durham that would change his finding that the investigation was justified.
A preliminary investigation allows the FBI to use confidential human sources, but not the court-ordered surveillance which Carter Page was subjected to.
Judge Collyer ordered the FBI to explain how the FBI will address problems with the FISA process that were uncovered by the report.
On January 10, 2020, the FBI responded to the court by providing a list of 12 changes to procedures regarding its applications to the court, which included having more training, and improving checklists.
The court subsequently appointed David S. Kris, a former senior official in the Obama administration and an expert on FISA, to advise the court on the proposed changes in the FBI's procedures.
On January 15, 2020, Kris filed a 15-page brief with the court in which he stated that the proposed changes do not appropriately address the problems uncovered by the IG report.

Redfern Park is a heritage-listed park at Elizabeth, Redfern, Chalmers, and Phillip Streets, Redfern, City of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
The Gadigal People of the Eora Nation are recognised as the traditional custodians of the land on which Redfern Park and Oval are now located, as well as the greater Redfern area.
This part of Sydney was originally park of a diverse wetland that connected to the Tank Stream and an important meeting place.
The British invasion brought smallpox, which had a catastrophic impact on the Aboriginal clans of the Sydney area, and the colony itself soon spread to the Redfern area, partly in pursuit of clean fresh water following pollution of the Tank Stream.
Many Aboriginal people moved to La Perouse and elsewhere, and began to become prominent in city life again from the 1930s, when working class suburbs like Pyrmont, Balmain, Rozelle, Glebe and Redfern became central places for Aboriginal families to like, where housing was relatively cheap and there was plenty of work in nearby factories.
Changes in government legislation in the 1960s provided freedom of movement enabling more Aboriginal people to choose to live in Sydney.
In 1803 he was pardoned, but remained on the island until 1808, when he returned to Sydney and was appointed assistant surgeon after being examined in medicine and surgery by Surgeons Jamison, Harris and Bohan.
In 1814 he reported on conditions on convict transport ships and his recommendation that all have a surgeon on board whose duties were to superintend the health of convicts was put into practice.
Despite his valuable service, many were contemptuous of him as he was an emancipist, although he had the friendship of Governor Macquarie.
In 1818 Redfern received a grant of in Airds and later received more land in the area and by his death in 1823 he owned, by grant and purchase, over in NSW.
The commodious home Redfern built on his land was considered to be a country house, surrounded by flower and kitchen gardens.
His neighbours were John Baptist (at the Darling Nursery in today's Chippendale) and Captain Cleveland, an officer of the 73rd regiment, remembered by today's street of that name, and before its demolition, by Cleveland House, his home.
Tanners, wool scourers and wool-washers, fellmongers, boiling down works and abattoirs had ten years to move their businesses outside city boundaries.
Public meetings were held and after a flurry of petitions Redfern Municipality was proclaimed on 11 August 1859, the fourth in Sydney to be formed under the Act.
Redfern Park remained swamp land while residential and industrial Redfern was built up around it, and it became known as Boxley's Lagoon and seen as a nuisance and a waste land.
Council prepared by-laws for the park in 1887 and installed a caretaker in 1888.< The park was styled as late Victorian Pleasure Gardens with Botanical Plantings and Landscape Design.
Around 1886 planting began using tree saplings supplied by the Royal Botanic Gardens including Moreton Bay figs, deciduous figs, and Canary Island palms.
The plantings used in the park reflect the preferences or botanical palate of the successive directors of the Botanic Gardens with Charles Moore (director 1848-1896) favouring Port Jackson and Moreton Bay figs and Joseph T. Maiden (director 1896-1924) deciduous figs and Canary Island pines.
This design split the park into a southern section for sporting activities and a northern half comprising a formal landscaped garden for passive recreation which included extensive specimen plantings, lawns, flower gardens, seating, shaded walkways across the park and around the perimeter, decorative gates, and the Baptist fountain in the centre.
Prominent local resident John Baptist Jr., of Portuguese background, donated the fountain and several urns for installation in the new landscaped park in 1889-1890.
He opened a nursery in Redfern to the east of what became Redfern Park (in what is now the Marriot Street Reserve area).
The cast iron fountain, which features a bronze finish, was manufactured in Coalbrookdale, England and imported to Australia as a kit which was then constructed on site.
Today only a few survive: there is one at Forbes, NSW; one in the botanical gardens in Adelaide, SA; and another partial or incomplete one in the Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne, Victoria.
While the park was under construction, the citizens of Redfern put together a subscription to erect sandstone gates at the northern entrance.
In 1891 the Redfern Street gates, which comprised two white painted sandstone piers supporting decorative wrought iron gates featuring a prominent Waratah motif, were installed.
The park was initially designed with a cricket oval and wickets (1887-1890) and a bowling green and sporting activities may have commenced as early as 1886.
In the decades following the opening of the oval it was used for rugby union during the winter and cricket during the summer.
To further the use of the oval for cricket purposes a cricket pavilion, donated by the Redfern (South Sydney) Mayor, was opened in 1892.
From the early decades of the twentieth century sporting usage began to dominate at Redfern Park with the sporting facilities being used for tennis, rugby league, cricket, baseball, boxing, and many other sports.
By 1909 the oval had been found to be too small for cricket and the Council moved to increase the size of the sports area of the park and enclose it within a seven foot fence.
The NSW Rugby Football League competition was formed on 17 January 1908 with South Sydney being one of the nine founding clubs.
In 1911 Redfern Oval was first leased to the NSW Rugby Football League for the majority of the season beginning a regular arrangement.
Following the horror and loss of life of WWI many communities across Australia chose to honour and remember their local soldiers through living or static memorials.
These efforts were successful and the extant WWI war memorial was constructed in the northwest corner of the park in 1919-1920.
Throughout the inter-war period sports became more popular among the local community (and the local population became more working class) the supporting facilities at Redfern Oval continued to be improved.
By the 1930s cricket and rugby league continued to thrive, but bowling was losing popularity, and in 1934 the bowling club was asked to leave so the greens could be converted into tennis courts (1934-1935).
In contrast, the ornamental gardens or pleasure grounds of Redfern Park were allowed to deteriorate until a restoration and clean-up program began in 1936-7.
Further maintenance works were carried out during the 1943-1944 which included the proposed construction of a children's playground, which was not built until 1946.
Following the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1942 during WWII zig-zag air raid trenches were installed on the east and west sides of the park.
In 1946 the South Sydney Rugby League Club approached Redfern Council about making Redfern Oval their home ground if suitable improvements were carried out.
Construction works to upgrade the oval, including the upgrading of the oval surface, the construction of new embankments and facilities, and the remodelling of the original pavilion to function as a larger grandstand, commenced the following year.
This work was completed in April 1948 in time for the Rabbitohs to commence matches at the Oval in this year's competition.
With the scant post-war resources of Council going towards the upgrading of Redfern Oval, the ornamental gardens of Redfern Park were once again neglected from the later 1940s to the 1970s.
Throughout this period several of the ornamental features of the park were removed including the boundary walkways, and stone columns and pedestals with cast iron urns (1965) that had been donated by John Baptist.
In 1974 park beautification works involved the construction of five large raised sandstone garden beds around the Baptist fountain and from 1975 into the 1980s the asphalt paths were replaced with decorative interlocking paving.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s vandalism and theft was a continual problem, which required security (lighting) upgrades on several occasions, and the repair of the war memorial in 1973 and the 1980s.
Throughout its history, Redfern Park has seen many diverse uses in accordance with its value as an outdoor park within an otherwise heavily urbanised (and at times industrial) area.
In the recent past the park has hosted community events including: the Redfern/Waterloo Festival, the Yabun Festival / Survival Day events, Music in the Park concerts, Carols in the Park, Anzac Day Memorial Services, and Citizenship Ceremonies.
In 2007 Redfern Park and Oval was the subject of a major redevelopment project by the City of Sydney that aimed to renew the open-area nature of the park and update the sporting facilities so that the South Sydney Rabbitohs could continue to use the oval as a training facility.
This project revitalised the park and oval and reintegrated these two public spaces more in accordance with the original design for the park.
Today the park is considered to be one of the most beautiful in inner Sydney and an important green oasis in urban Redfern.
Its beauty stems from the retention of its Victorian character and its mix of fine mature trees, expansive lawns, artistic features, and historic monuments.
The success of the park's redevelopment project was recognised internationally in 2014 when it received a prestigious Green Flag Award marking it as one of the top parks in the world for recreation and relaxation.
Many Aboriginal people had survived in the Sydney area during the later nineteenth century by living outside of or on the fringes of European settlement.
This was despite the efforts of the Aborigines Protection Board to confine Aboriginal settlement to various missions and reserves from the 1890s onwards.
The 1930s depression and the efforts of the Aborigines Protection Board to disenfranchise and assimilate Aboriginal people (gain control of their lives) led many people to leave country areas and migrate to the city.
The industries based in Redfern provided employment opportunities for these Aboriginal people leading to a small community forming during the 1930s.
As the Aboriginal Redfern community grew from the 1930s-1940s onward Redfern Park became a meeting place for this community - it was a central public place in Redfern and close to many other important Aboriginal services and housing.
These comfortable places were increasingly important over time to the community and their sense of identity (and ownership) as they began the revolution in rights and self-determination in the 1960s and 1970s.
The sense of identity and ownership the Redfern Aboriginal community had for the Redfern area linked to many important landmarks and community or comfortable places that were, or became, part of the movement.
Redfern Oval, because it was a place where the Rabbitohs and All-Blacks played, was an exciting place for community members to visit due to the large number of Aboriginal players that played in both teams.
Community members showed these places with pride to new mob and visiting friends and family, as a way of showing what they had achieved.
It must be remembered that all this was achieved in the face of racist policies by the local police force and their persecution of the local community (and local and state government) (Pamela Young).
The Redfern All Blacks were established in 1944 as a result of dances held at Redfern Town Hall held to raise funds for the court defence of the legal rights of repatriated Aboriginal servicemen if necessary.
These funds were never required for this purpose and, instead, they were used to establish a football club to ease the boredom of slum life for Aboriginal men who had moved to the city from the bush.
The club increasingly offered a welcoming and inclusive place which gave members and supporters purpose, a sense of community, and a positive sense of identity and pride.
During this time both teams trained and played at Redfern Oval, as well as other local venues such as Alexandria Oval.
The RAB became increasingly popular during this time with two matches at Redfern Oval in 1950 against Fernleigh, one a round game and the other the grand final, drawing 8,000 and 15,000 spectators respectively.
The club again dropped out of the competition in the mid-1960s before it was resurrected in 1969 through financial assistance for the National Aboriginal Sports Foundation.
This funding hoped to allow the club to serve social functions including helping integrate new arrivals to the city and providing management skill training for those involved in the running of the club.
After their reformation the club continued to play a prominent role in the community and was a major organisation during the self-determination and rights movement during the 1960s and 1970s.
In 1971 the Redfern All Blacks were one of the seven founding teams of the Koori Knockout and they have continued to field teams in the competition to the present.
The Koori Knockout was established to provide a stage where the many talented Aboriginal players, who were being overlooked by talent scouts, could display their skills.
It also had an important family and community focus and was linked in with the political activism underway in Redfern at the time.
The All Blacks have been very successful in this competition, winning the title on 10-12 occasions, which has resulted in the Knockout being held at Redfern Oval at least four times.
It has also played an important part in starting the Rugby League careers of many Aboriginal players who rose through the local competition to join the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
It is unclear to what extent Redfern Oval was considered historically to be the home ground of the Redfern All Blacks.
When Redfern Oval was the home ground of the Rabbitohs (1946-1988) there were regular matches of the South Sydney juniors league at the ground, most often the finals each year.
However, nearly all the RAB players also supported the Rabbitohs so they still had a strong connection with the oval in this respect.
It is likely RAB's connection to this oval has grown with time at it has become more available for use by the club.
Redfern Oval became the home ground of the South Sydney Rabbitohs from the 1948 season of the NSW Rugby League competition.
In 1977 as part of a state government project to provide local employment and upgrade community facilities the earthen banks of the oval were upgraded and fencing installed around the oval.
Between 1948 and 1987 the South Sydney Rabbitohs used Redfern Oval as their home ground before moving to Sydney Football Stadium in 1988.
In 1999 when the Rabbitohs were expelled from the new 14 team NRL structure a massive march of 40,000 people was held that began at Redfern Oval and proceeded to Sydney Town Hall to protest against the decision.
Between 2007 and 2009 the City of Sydney redeveloped Redfern Oval to update its facilities to permit the Rabbitohs to resume their usage of the oval as a training ground from 2009.
This was specifically on Saturday nights when the community would gather to drink, play football, or to continue the traditional practices of meeting outside.
It is likely that Redfern Park and Oval's importance as a meeting place for the local and increasingly revolutionary Aboriginal Redfern Community led to it being associated with two of the most important events in Aboriginal history over the last thirty-forty years.
In this manner this place has played an important part in the quest of Aboriginal people for recognition, justice, and equality in Australian society.
These events have also led this place to becoming important in the efforts towards reconciliation between Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal Australia which continue to this day.
Many Aboriginal Australians felt insulted by the effort put into organising the 1988 Bicentennial festivities by the Federal and State Governments, especially when they faced such discrimination and social problems that required urgent attention and funding.
The inspiration for the Long March of Freedom, Justice, and Hope has its beginnings in the 150 year centenary celebration of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1938.
However, a severe backlash by mining and pastoral interest and elements of the Australian Labor Party caused the Hawke government to water down these promises and retreat from his commitments.
Many Aboriginal people were outraged, particularly the National Federation of Land Councils and the National Aboriginal Conference, who had been involved in the government talks.
The 1988 bi-centenary celebrations were seen by Aboriginal activists as a prime opportunity to further their cause and highlight the appalling human rights record of White Australia.
The march was organised by the Freedom Justice Hope Committee whose board comprised Judith Chester (1950-2010), Kevin Cook (1939-2015), Reverend Charlie Harris, Linda Burney (1957-), Chris Kirkbright, and Karen Flick, and many other people also contributed.
Kevin Cook had created a strong network through his development of Tranby Indigenous Education and Training centre and his political and union activities allowed the committee to spread the message about the protest and gather support.
Tranby became a hub for participants of the protest from outside the city and state in the days leading up to 1988 Australia/Invasion day.
In the weeks and months leading up to the march convoys started from Aboriginal communities across the country heading for Sydney.
These convoys often began as a group of buses, perhaps with some additional car loads of people, but as they travelled they grew in size as others joined.
Camping spots were organised for each convoy along their journey (with local Aboriginal groups) and often convoys would have cooking teams that travelled ahead to set up camp for the arrival of the main group.
As groups met up on their way to Sydney many impromptu meetings were held, including one large one at Mildura between the Darwin and mobs.
Once together, this large convoy entered Sydney, with a police escort of one car, receiving displays of support through different areas of the city, before heading to La Perouse which had been designated as the headquarters of the protest in the lead up to Invasion/Australia Day.
Over the next few days a great meeting was held between the protest participants to organise the march and other protests and their aims.
It seems that prior to this meeting the route or location of the march had not been agreed upon by the protest participants, although the organisation committee may have developed some options for consideration.
Two views regarding the march developed during the meeting: one that is should proceed from Redfern Park/Oval through the city streets to Hyde Park where a series of speeches and rallies would be held (Reverend Harris Mob) and the other that the march or protest should proceed to or be held at Lady Macquarie's chair overlooking the re-enactment celebrations.
During the meeting protestors were already protesting along the shores of La Perouse against the re-enactments staged to celebrate the arrival of the First Fleet into Botany Bay.
Ultimately, it appears that marchers were organised to participate in marches along both options with the smaller march to Lady Macquarie's Chair organised for earlier in the day and the larger march to Hyde Park later from mid-morning.
By 11am when the march was scheduled to begin, around 20,000 Aboriginal Australians from across the country had gathered along with non-Indigenous supporters.
From Redfern Park the march progressed along both Chalmers and Elizabeth Streets and then stopped first at Belmore Park where a second group of mainly non-Indigenous supporters awaited their arrival.
The stone railway bridge over Eddy Avenue prevented the marchers from seeing or hearing the crowd in Belmont Park, which meant that when they arrived at the end of the Eddy Avenue tunnel they were suddenly confronted with a huge cheer from the gathered supporters.
From Belmore Park the marchers continued to Hyde Park with the march growing along the route, to over 30,000 or 40,000 people depending on reports.
This march was thought at the time to have been the largest Aboriginal gathering ever and was the largest protest march in Sydney since the Vietnam moratorium.
There was a strict ban on alcohol on the day and people joined together to ensure this ban was kept so the police could not cause them any trouble.
The success of the march drew attention from across the world and brought Indigenous issues to the forefront of the national consciousness.
Today the march is still remembered as a day of hope and empowerment and its success still brings pride to the Aboriginal people and communities who participated.
It was a demonstration or expression of Black identity and solidarity, and highlighted the plight of Aboriginal Australians in contemporary Australian society, especially the startling contrast between the third-world living conditions faced by many Aboriginal Australians and the lavish amounts of money (200 million ) spent by the Federal Government on the enormous pomp and ceremony celebrating the British invasion of Australia.
The success of the march led to important steps forward in Aboriginal rights, issues, recognition, and reconciliation during the late 1980s and early 1990s changing white and black Australia forever.
In the following years numerous peak Indigenous organisations were established including the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) in 1990 and the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation in 1991.
The protest also arguably inspired a new generation of Indigenous leaders and created new attitudes towards the celebration of Australia Day and the realisation of what this event means for Aboriginal people.
Most importantly, the protest triggered mass public debate about these issues with Indigenous people holding a prominent part in the wider dialogue.
These debates included discussions about the very concept of Australian History and the position of Aboriginal people and their voices within it and contemporary Australian society.
Despite these modest achievements by the Hawke Government he considered the government's failure to pursue national land rights legislation in the mid-1980s as a costly mistake that he hoped to rectify during his Prime Ministership.
Prior to Keating becoming Prime Minister, in April 1991 the final report of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody had been published.
Keating responded to the findings of the report by promising 250 million in funding for programs to combat the problem and called for all levels of government to support them.
At a broader scale the decision found that native title had survived the 1788 declaration of British sovereignty of Australia and that it could be claimed on vacant or unallocated Crown land (that had not been converted to freehold title).
To this end, his government moved towards giving the Mabo decision practical expression in Commonwealth law through a national legislative framework.
This would stop any uncertainty about the ruling and prevent the states from acting together to extinguish any chance of native title within their borders.
The Mabo decision and Keating's desire to enact legislation to validate and develop this decision appear to have been one of the catalysts for what became known as the Redfern Speech, delivered in Redfern Park a few weeks before the 1993 federal election.
Keating wanted to take this opportunity to acknowledge the buried truths of Australian history and the wrongs and injustices of the dispossession of land from Australia's Indigenous peoples.
Redfern appears to have been chosen as the place to give the speech due to the recognition among the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) that it was the location of a large Aboriginal population with strong views on social, political and legal change.
In this sense the decision reflected the importance of the Redfern Aboriginal community and the significant role it had played in Aboriginal resistance, activism, and self-determination movements since the 1960s/70s.
The Redfern Speech was delivered by Prime Minister Keating on 10 December 1992 at Redfern Park as part of the launch of Australia's program for the United Nations 1993 International Year of the World's Indigenous Peoples.
In accordance with Keating's goals for his Prime Ministership, this speech was aimed at laying out the foundation of a new relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians based on a need for reconciliation.
The speech was performed on a temporary stage set up in the northwest corner of Redfern Park facing rows of temporary seating set up across this section of the park.
Throughout the speech, Keating spoke frankly and honestly of the suffering and injustice the British invasion and settlement of Australia inflicted upon its Indigenous peoples and which continued into the present day through the creation of the modern Australian nation, its culture, and society.
He also spoke of the enormous contributions they had made to the formation of the modern Australian nation, particularly to the fields of exploration, war, sport, art, literature, and music.
However, he also called for historians to begin acknowledging the resistance and resilience Aboriginal people had shown throughout the invasion period (frontier war) onwards to the present day.
In the following days and weeks the speech created mass public debate on issues of Aboriginal equality, rights, and reconciliation and Indigenous views on and perspectives on Australian history.
It was the media story and sections of the speech were replayed over and over on the radio and television coverage.
Aboriginal leaders from across the country also contacted the Prime Minister's Office to express their gratitude and their belief that the speech was a good starting point on the road to reconciliation.
Following the Redfern Speech Keating's government embarked on the first ever full consultation between the Aboriginal community of Australia and the Federal Government to negotiate the details (the body of corporate and cultural law) of the Native Title Act, along with other interest groups (farmers and miners).
The Redfern Speech (or Address) is today considered to be a defining moment in the relationship between the Australian Nation (or Federal Government) and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of this land.
It marked a monumental turning point in the reconciliation process where for the first time the Federal Government publicly and officially acknowledged the dispossession of Indigenous Australians inflicted by British settlement.
Ultimately, it has resulted in the new official perspective of Australia's history which is more inclusive of an Indigenous perspective, as well as bringing reconciliation and other Aboriginal issues into the public spotlight and consciousness.
This paved the way for further steps towards reconciliation including PM Kevin Rudd's formal apology to Indigenous Australians for the past Federal Government practices and policies.
The Redfern speech is remembered as one of the great speeches of Australian history and still has meaning and impact for Australians - both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal.
In August 2010 the video of the Redfern speech was added to the National Film and Sound Archives as a sign and tribute to its significance in Australian history.
The park contained typical components of a late nineteenth century Australian municipal park: the fountain and main gates (which survive) and the now vanished urns, bandstand, kiosk and sports pavilions.
The surviving elements, and the documentary record, provides evidence of the efforts and generosity of local businessmen and aldermen, particularly John Baptist (junior) and George W. Howe, in contributing to the creation of a park as an amenity for their municipality.
The location and size of the park, the position of the entrances and the surrounding street and lane layout, reflects the subdivision of William Redfern's grant into the characteristic grid of colonial town planning.
The choice of designer, the overall layout of the park, forming an urban lung, the addition of a children's playground, and the surviving requests for use of the park by local amateur clubs, reflect attempts by Reverend Boyce and the Aldermen to introduce benefi cial fresh air, sunlight, sport and active play into the daily life of the local workforce.
Fitness has continued to be an importance aspect of the park's pattern of use, evidenced by children's holiday activities and National Fitness Camps.
Two surviving structures from the original scheme: the Baptist Fountain and the main gates show the transition from a reliance on British design and manufacturing towards an Australian identity.
The main gates are a rare surviving example of the use of Australiana in both metalwork and stonework dating from the early 1890s, which became a textbook example.
Redfern Oval became the home ground of the South Sydney Rabbitohs from the 1948 season of the NSW Rugby League competition.
In 1977 as part of a state government project to provide local employment and upgrade community facilities the earthen banks of the oval were upgraded and fencing installed around the oval.
Between 1948 and 1987 the South Sydney Rabbitohs used Redfern Oval as their home ground before moving to Sydney Football Stadium in 1988.
In 1999 when the Rabbitohs were expelled from the new 14 team NRL structure a massive march of 40,000 people was held that began at Redfern Oval and proceeded to Sydney Town Hall to protest against the decision.
Between 2007 and 2009 the City of Sydney redeveloped Redfern Oval to update its facilities to permit the Rabbitohs to resume their usage of the oval as a training ground from 2009.
As at 7 August 2018, The area which contains Redfern Park and Oval has always been a significant place for Aboriginal people.
This part of Sydney was originally a biodiverse wetland that connected to the Tank Stream and a meeting place which included a corroboree ground.
The park and oval is a physical symbol of Aboriginal cultural, political, social and sporting movements which remain as cultural touchstones to teach future generations of Australians.
Redfern, and by association, Redfern Park and Oval, is also a multicultural hub, with links to cultures worldwide from the late 19th century onwards.
Redfern Park and Oval is a place of healing, a tangible link from the past to the future and a site of exceptional significance to the people of NSW.
Redfern Park and Oval is a site of national and state historic significance for Aboriginal rights, recognition, and reconciliation through its connection with the Australia/Invasion Day 1988 Long March of Freedom, Justice, and Hope and the 1992 Redfern Speech of Prime Minister Paul Keating.
Redfern Park is a place of very high contemporary social value for Aboriginal people as a landmark site in gaining Aboriginal rights and the assembly for protests and activism.
Both the Redfern All Blacks and La Perouse United Aboriginal teams also potentially trained at Alexandria and Redfern Ovals during the early years of the Koori Knockout.
It was the original home ground of the South Sydney Rabbitohs, the oldest, and one of the original teams in the NSW Rugby Football League.
Redfern Park has aesthetic significance at the state level due to its late nineteenth century park design by Charles O'Neill that has been accentuated by botanical plantings advocated by two successive directors of the Royal Botanical Gardens: Charles Moore (director 1848-1896) and Joseph H. Maiden (director 1896-1924).
The park was tastefully and sympathetically refurbished in 2007-2009 and has been turned into an open green space in the heart of urban Redfern.
It retains a wide range of botanical species that as a group is potentially rare or uncommon in a state context.
Redfern Park was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 21 September 2018 having satisfied the following criteria.
Redfern Park and Oval is a site of national and state importance for Aboriginal rights, recognition, and reconciliation due to its connection with the Australia/Invasion Day 1988 Long March of Freedom, Justice, and Hope and the 1992 Redfern Speech of Prime Minister Paul Keating.
It was a demonstration of Aboriginal Australian's status as the original inhabitants of this land and a statement of their survival, and a protest against the deliberate omission of an indigenous perspective from Australian history.
The march drew national and international attention to the plight of Indigenous communities across the country with relation to poor health, education, and welfare outcomes and high imprisonment rates and deaths in custody.
Overall, this march was successful in putting Indigenous issues in public view, and arguably led to important gains in rights, recognition, and reconciliation in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Keating's Redfern Speech was a redefining moment in the relationship between the Australian Nation and its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The speech was remarkable in being delivered not in parliament to a largely European audience, but to an Aboriginal audience at Redfern - in the midst of an important urban Aboriginal community closely associated with the Aboriginal revolution in self-determination from the 1960s-1970s onwards.
This speech marked a turning point in the official interpretation of Australia's history and an accommodation of the Indigenous perspective within it by the Federal Government.
For Aboriginal Australians, Redfern Park and Oval are of high historical significance due to the landmark events that have occurred there in association with Invasion/Survival day and reconciliation.
These late twentieth century events were important stepping stones in the forward movement of indigenous rights, recognition, and reconciliation throughout the late twentieth century.
Most importantly this ground was the original home ground of the South Sydney Rabbitohs and served in this capacity from 1946 to 1988.
The Rabbitohs are one of the original founding teams of the NSW Rugby Football League and are one of the two oldest remaining clubs in the competition.
Due to the high number of Aboriginal players that have represented South Sydney and played within the Junior South Sydney Competition this ground is important in the history and evolution of Aboriginal participation in this sport.
Ultimately, this ground has always been one of the main grounds in a thriving centre for this sport in Sydney and NSW, in general cultural and social terms, but also in relation to Aboriginal participation in Rugby League.
The place has a strong or special association with a person, or group of persons, of importance of cultural or natural history of New South Wales's history.
Redfern Oval has associative significance at a state level through its strong historical association with the South Sydney Rabbitohs, the most successful and one of the two oldest remaining teams in the National Rugby League competition.
In 2008 the Rabbitohs were recognised by the National Trust as a Community Icon held in high esteem by their supporters and the Australian public.
This esteem was demonstrated by a march of 80,000 people from Redfern to Town Hall in November 2000 protesting the expulsion of the team from the NRL.
Over its history the club has also had a proud and highly valued link to Australian Indigenous communities (through such all-Aboriginal teams as the Redfern All Blacks and La Perouse United playing in their local competitions) and the high number of Aboriginal players that have represented the side.
Redfern Oval arguably embodies much of the spirit and passion and historical significance of the club due to its long association with the team (1946-present) and the important part this oval has played in the team's history and development.
Although the upgrade of 2007-2009 removed all historic fabric from the oval, it enabled the ongoing use of the place by the Rabbitohs, and Redfern Oval is still considered to be of strong cultural and social significance for members of this club and Rugby League supporters in general.
Both the Redfern All Blacks and La Perouse United Aboriginal teams also potentially trained at Alexandria and Redfern Ovals during the early years of the Koori Knockout, of which the Redfern All Blacks were one of the founding member clubs.
The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales.
Redfern Park has aesthetic significance at a state level due to its late nineteenth century park design by Charles O'Neill that has been accentuated by botanical plantings advocated by two successive directors of the Royal Botanical Gardens: Charles Moore (director 1848-1896) and Joseph H. Maiden (director 1896-1924).
The park was tastefully and sympathetically refurbished in 2007-2009 and has been turned into a beautiful open green (verdant) space in the heart of urban Redfern.
It retains a wide range of botanical species that as a group is potentially rare or uncommon in a state context and demonstrates a richness of palate and unusually survivability in this context.
The extant mature plantings are of aesthetic and botanical interest due to their layout and design and the wide range of specimen plantings including the use of rare Australian rainforest species (figs) and exotic palms.
The perimeter of mature deciduous figs, which surrounds the park, and which has been accentuated by new plantings around the oval, is of particular aesthetic significance for the rainforest feel or character it brings to this urban environment (and the surrounding streetscape).
The avenue of mature exotic palms is also of aesthetic significance for the spectacular view it creates across the centre of the park and the tropical silhouette (or profile) the present from either side.
Ultimately, the park presents a wonderful balance of the old and the new with the restored historic fabric/memorials and original Victorian era design being sympathetically accentuated by new Aboriginally themed art installations and spaces, as well as sporting facilities and children's playgrounds.
This design and work resulted in the park being awarded a prestigious Green Flag Award in 2014 which recognised it as one of the top parks internationally.
The place has a strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group in New South Wales for social, cultural or spiritual reasons.
Redfern Park has social significance for the people of NSW and Australia as a place that can be (and is) effectively used to communicate and teach aspects of civics and citizenship, reconciliation and migration that are important to modern Australian values, tradition, and nationhood.
Redfern Park is a place of very high contemporary social value for Aboriginal people as a landmark site in gaining Aboriginal rights and the assembly for protests and activism.
Redfern Oval has social significance to the Aboriginal people of NSW due to the strong emotive and historic connection it has with the Redfern Aboriginal community, the Redfern All Blacks and the development of Aboriginal participation and support for Rugby League.
Redfern Park and Oval was, and continues to be a central meeting place for the Aboriginal community of Redfern and beyond as a place not only for activism and sporting events but a place for socialising and family connection.

Francis Dzierozynski (born Franciszek Dzierożyński; January 3, 1779 – September 22, 1850) was a Polish Catholic priest and Jesuit who became a prominent missionary to the United States.
Born in the town of Orsza, in Poland (modern-day Belarus), he entered the Society of Jesus and was ordained a priest in 1806.
He taught and studied in Połock and Mogilev until leading students in an escape from the French invasion of Russia in 1812.
In 1823, he was appointed the superior of the Maryland Mission, with jurisdiction over all the Jesuits in the United States.
As superior, he reconciled the Society of Jesus and the Corporation of Roman Catholic Clergymen, a holdover from the period of suppression of the Jesuits that owned most of the American Jesuits' property, and oversaw the transition of Saint Louis College into a Jesuit institution.
He also was involved in significant disputes with the American bishops, especially Ambrose Maréchal, with whom his quarrel over the ownership of valuable lands in White Marsh, Maryland endured for many years and involved such prominent figures as John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, Roger Taney, Luigi Fortis, and Pope Pius VII.
His term as superior of the mission came to an end in 1830, and Dzierozynski took up other prominent positions in the Maryland Mission.
He again became leader of the newly elevated Maryland Province in 1839, but his old age and continuing conflicts with bishops and the Superior General resulted in an unsuccessful administration of the province.
His term came to an end in 1843, and he spent his final years at the novitiate in Frederick, Maryland, where he died.
Franciszek Dzierożyński was born on January 3, 1779, in Orsza, in the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland (located in modern-day Belarus).
He enrolled at the Jesuit Collegium in Orsza, before entering the Society of Jesus in 1794, at the age of fifteen, at novitiate in Połock.
He studied at the novitiate until 1809, but was ordained a priest there in 1806, after studying theology for only one year, due to an insufficient number of priests.
He then studied philosophy during his scholastic years, during which he was assigned to teach French, physics, music, and grammar at the in Saint Petersburg.
Upon the completion of his education, he continued teaching philosophy and mathematics at the Jesuit in Mogilev, where he also engaged in pastoral work.
He led a covert escape from the French invasion of 1812, and later returned to the city, resuming his position as a professor of dogmatic theology, apologetics, and homiletics.
When Czar Alexander I expelled the Jesuits from the Russian Empire in 1820, Dzierozynski left for Italy, where he began teaching in Bologna.
He then went to Rome, where he received orders from the Jesuit Superior General, Luigi Fortis, to became a missionary and revive the Society of Jesus in the United States following its worldwide suppression.
Departing with Angelo Secchi from Livorno, the journey took five months, three of which spent spent at sea, crossing the Atlantic, and the voyage encountered many perilous storms, before arriving in Philadelphia on November 7, 1821.
He was met with a community of Jesuits who lived as planters and were highly suspicious of European Jesuits who sought to modify their lifestyle and pastoral approach.
The president of Georgetown College, Benedict Joseph Fenwick, wrote to Fortis, requesting that Dzierozynski's power not be increased; meanwhile, the European-born missionary, John W. Beschter, supported Dzierozynski's attempted reform of the American Jesuits.
At Georgetown, he began learning English, and sought to gain the trust of the young Jesuits by teaching them philosophy in Latin.
In April 1823, Dzierozynsi was appointed by the Jesuit Superior General, Luigi Fortis, to succeed Charles Neale as superior of the Jesuit Mission in Maryland.
As superior, Dzierozynski's jurisdiction extended over 95 Jesuits spread from Maryland to New England and as far west as the Mississippi and Missouri River Valleys.
The mission's Maryland plantations were barely breaking even, the novitiate had been effectively closed, and one of its largest institutions, Georgetown College, had a dwindling student body.
As ordered by Fortis, he also addressed a fractured administration of the mission, which was divided between the Society of Jesus itself and the Corporation of Roman Catholic Clergymen, which was established to hold and administer the Jesuits' property during suppression.
In May 1825, the Corporation was reluctantly brought under control of the Society (but continued to exist as a legal entity).
In 1827, he accepted the invitation of the Bishop of Louisiana and the Two Floridas, Louis Dubourg, to transfer responsibility for Saint Louis College from the diocese to the Jesuits.
After visiting the college in Missouri in 1827, he sought permission from the superiors in Rome, who approved the transfer in 1829.
When the Superior General ordered the Washington Seminary closed, Dzierozynski allowed all the students to transfer to Georgetown free of charge.
He conflicted with the Archbishop of Baltimore, Ambrose Maréchal, over his authority to transfer Jesuit priests among Jesuit parishes in the diocese, a special privilege that had been the right of Jesuit superiors around the world prior to suppression.
Maréchal maintained that he could veto any transfer; Fortis concurred, advising Dzierozynski that the papal edict restoring the Jesuits did not include the authority of Jesuit superiors to unilaterally transfer priests within dioceses.
He was relieved of his office in November 1830, when Peter Kenney arrived as an apostolic visitor to investigate the possibility of elevating the Maryland mission to the full status of a province.
Fortis appointed Dzierozynski on the belief that a non-American superior would be best suited to resolve a dispute between the Jesuits and Ambrose Maréchal stemming from disputed terms of an agreement made during the suppression of the Society of Jesus, over ownership of substantial lands in Maryland, especially in White Marsh.
Maréchal argued that the properties that the Corporation of Roman Catholic Clergymen were gifted were given for the benefit of the whole church, not just the Jesuits; he also claimed a right to an allowance that the Jesuits had paid to his two predecessors, who were Jesuits (while Maréchal was a Sulpician).
Maréchal sailed to Rome and obtained a brief from Pope Pius VII in 1822, ordering that the Jesuits transfer the property and slaves thereon to the archbishop.
The American Jesuits resisted this proclamation, viewing it as foreign interference with their affairs, conducted by a legally separate entity (the Corporation of Roman Catholic Clergymen), and Luigi Fortis debated the issue before the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith from 1823 to 1826.
Meanwhile, William Matthews obtained the support of the U.S. Secretary of State, John Quincy Adams, on behalf of the Jesuits, and Dzierozynski enlisted Adams' successor, Henry Clay, to warn Maréchal against foreign interference.
The Undersecretary of State, George Ironside, formally notified Maréchal that the President of the United States would not permit a foreign head of state (the pope) to circumvent the American judicial system in resolving a property dispute.
A compromise was reached in 1826 among the cardinals in Rome, whereby Maréchal would receive a monthly stipend for life from the Jesuit Superior General, and the Jesuits would maintain ownership of the White Marsh plantation.
The superiors in Rome decided in favor of the archbishop, and directed a final lump payment to be made to Whitfield's successor, Samuel Eccleston.
After his term as mission superior, Dzierozynski remained active in the Maryland Mission and later Maryland Province, which was elevated in 1833.
He remained master of novices at Georgetown until 1831, and resumed the position in 1834, at the relocated novitiate in Frederick.
In addition to his educational duties, Dzierozynski was spiritual director and retreat director for Jesuits, religious sisters, and female students at Georgetown Visitation Academy and the Visitation Academy of Frederick.
Benedict Joseph Fenwick, now the Bishop of Boston, invited him to attend the Second Provincial Council of Baltimore in 1833, but he did not.
William McSherry, the provincial superior of the Maryland Province, died in 1839, just six months after being appointed to the office.
Though Dzierozynski effectively acted in the capacity of a provincial superior, Jan Roothaan declined to elevate him to indicate that the province was on probation for previous scandals.
The combination of his old age and the fact that he had fallen ill several days prior to his appointment resulted in a reclusive provincial who left Frederick, Maryland only after being ordered by Roothaan.
Likewise, Roothaan admonished him for allowing such behavior among the Jesuits as excessive imbibing of alcohol, celebration of national holidays, and other customs that the European Jesuits did not allow.
Dzierozynski was reluctant to open a new Jesuit college within his jurisdiction, but Fenwick's persistence combined with Roothaan's approval resulted in the opening of the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1843.
Dzierozynski returned to the role of master of novices, but after three years, his health further deteriorated and his disagreements with Roothaan mounted, resulting in the end of his tenure.
In accordance with his request, Dzierzynski's body was carried in front of the Visitation Convent in Frederick, where the cloistered nuns mourned it, before being removed for burial.

In the European Union there is a central open data portal which connects anyone to the regional and subject specific data portals for various matters of government.
The question of the existence of original Old Bulgarian historiography from the time of the First Bulgarian State and the Second Bulgarian State is one of the most complex unresolved issues in Medieval studies.
Bulgaria and the Bulgarians are widely attested in medieval chronicles and writings, but their thematic independent history is absent until the 17th century.
From 1667 dates the first independent Bulgarian history of Petar Bogdan, which is entitled „About the antiquity of the father land and the Bulgarian affairs”.
It was not until the next 18th century that the Enlightenment and the Bulgarian Renaissance was composed of the so-called „Istoriya Slavyanobolgarskaya”, which played a huge role and was of fundamental importance for Bulgarian historiography.
The main credit for this is due to two authors - Spiridon Palauzov with his „Century of the Bulgarian Tsar Simeon”, ie.

The Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act of 2019, , was signed into law by President Donald Trump on December 20, 2019 as part of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (2020 United States federal budget).
The SECURE Act changed the most popular retirement plans used in the United States and was the first major retirement-related legislation enacted since the 2006 Pension Protection Act.
Richard Neal, the U.S. Representative for and chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, introduced the SECURE Act as on March 29, 2019.
The bipartisan bill was co-introduced by Ranking Member Kevin Brady (R-TX) as well as Reps. Ron Kind (D-WI) and Mike Kelly (R-PA).
It passed the House Ways and Means Committee on April 2, 2019 and passed the full House on May 23, 2019 by a vote of 417–3.
In the Senate, a companion bill called the Retirement Enhancement and Savings Act (RESA, ) was introduced by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.
The SECURE Act, as part of the spending bill, was passed by the House on December 17, 2019 by a vote of 297–120 and by the Senate on December 19, 2019 by a vote of 71–23.
To that end, it contains a number of provisions to incentivize retirement planning, diversify the options available to savers, and increase access to tax-advantaged savings programs.
One provision allows unrelated small employers to join together to establish a shared 401(k) plan known as a Multiple Employer Plan (MEP).
MEPs existed prior to the SECURE Act, but under the previous law they were required to be related in some way (e.g.
The law also shields employers who join a Multiple Employer Plan from liability for potential misconduct perpetrated by other employers who are in the same plan.
In addition, the federal tax credit for defraying plan startup costs is increased from $500 to up to $5,000, and provides an additional $500 tax credit for plans that automatically enroll new hires.
Employers who offer annuities as part of their defined-contribution retirement plans are shielded from liability under a new safe-harbor provision even if the insurance company selling the annuity commits fraud or collapses, as long as they meet specific regulatory requirements.
Participants in 401(k) and other defined-contribution plans (including traditional IRAs) can delay taking required minimum distributions until they reach the age of 72, an increase from the current age of 70.5.
The SECURE Act also permits graduate students to treat stipends and non-tuition fellowship payments as compensation for the purposes of contributing to IRAs.
Under the SECURE Act, parents can withdraw up to $5,000 from their individual 401(k) or similar workplace retirement savings plans for each new child without incurring the 10% additional penalty tax for taking an early distribution.
Employees who purchase an annuity in their 401(k) can move their annuity to another 401(k) plan at a different employer or to an IRA without paying surrender charges or other penalty fees.
The SECURE Act allows people saving money in a tax-advantaged 529 plan to use up to $10,000 to pay off student loans.
The SECURE Act partly revises the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), repealing provisions that increased taxes on the benefits received by family members of deceased United States military veterans.
This provision shortens the time period in which tax-advantaged accounts can grow and will increase the taxable income of beneficiaries during that ten-year period, generating tax revenue to fund the cost of the law.
The SECURE Act received support from a variety of special interest and consumer advocacy groups, including the Society for Human Resource Management and the AARP.
The CEO of AARP, Jo Ann Jenkins, praised the bill, citing provisions that she claimed would reduce poverty risk among retirees and improve the nation's financial security.
It also received support from financial advisory firms such as Northwestern Mutual and T. Rowe Price, who praised the bill for expanding options for retirement saving and for making it easier for workers to participate in employer savings plans.
David Moon, a columnist with the Knoxville News Sentinel, criticized the provision because it prohibited employees from suing employers if the 401k provider went out of business or defrauded the employees, and stated that it improperly exposed the least sophisticated investors to the most expensive and complex financial products.
Advocates of the so-called stretch IRAs have also criticized the provision that required beneficiaries of inherited IRAs to draw down (and pay taxes on) those inherited IRAs within 10 years.
Ed Slott, a leading financial planner and IRA specialist, wrote that the provision would not generate as much revenue as Congress hoped.
He also argued that eliminating stretch IRAs would encourage people to withdraw money from IRAs and into more lucrative tax-free investment vehicles such as life insurance.
The Joint Congressional Committee on Taxation released a report suggesting that the SECURE Act's impact on retirement savings would be relatively modest.
Aron Szapiro, a policy research director at Morningstar, argued that the types of tax incentives used by the SECURE Act to encourage retirement savings would not motivate major changes in savings rate.
An analyst from the Brookings Institution noted as well that the provisions for multiple-employer plans, while significant, would not have a major impact on small employers.
He started his career in the Krasnoyarsk division of StahlKonstruktsiya, part of the Soviet Ministry of Assembly and Special Construction Works.

In 2019, he resigned as governor according to a press release although news sources such as the BBC reported that he was dismissed.
However, there had been speculation in the press about his possible dismissal since devastating floods affected Irkutsk Oblast in the summer of 2019.
In addition to his flood response, the Irkutsk prosecutor opened an investigation on an illegal bear hunt in which the governor allegedly participated.

Edward W. Ryan (December 14, 1883 – September 18, 1923) was an American physician and Red Cross official, who devoted most of his life to combating epidemics worldwide.
While heading the American Red Cross mission in Belgrade in 1914–1916, he successfully fought an outbreak of typhus that killed thousands.
He later helped containing similar epidemics in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia in 1919–1922, and was awarded the Cross of Liberty in Estonia in 1920.
He stayed with ad and news agencies until 1908, when he moved to New York to study medicine at Fordham University.
While moving around Mexico, he was captured and imprisoned in Torreón by rebels, who declared him a spy and ordered his execution.
In August 1914, shortly after the outbreak of World War I, Ryan moved to Europe, arriving in Belgrade in September 1914.
Later in March 1915, he united major Serbian hospitals to fight the outbreak of typhus, which killed thousands, but was eventually contained.
While he was traveling through Budapest, a suitcase with his war souvenir, an unexploded artillery shell, fell and exploded, damaging the Budapest train station.
In November 1918, he was promoted to lieutenant-colonel, and sent to Berlin as a deputy head of the American Red Cross mission in Germany.
From 1919 to 1922 he moved around Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, bringing medical supplies, establishing Red Cross offices, and fighting new outbreaks of the typhus.

Born in Berlin, Münnich studied musicology, Germanistic and philosophy at the Humboldt University of Berlin and gained his doctorate in 1902 with a dissertation about Johann Kuhnau's life.
From 1904 to 1908 he taught music history at the Hugo Riemann Conservatory in Berlin, then piano from 1908, music theory and ear training at the Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory there.
At the suggestion of Georg Rolle, Münnich also took up a position as a singing and music teacher at a Berlin secondary school in 1908, where he was permanently employed from 1913 to 1934 and increasingly gained influence in the field of music education.
As one of the first student councilors for music in 1924, he became a member of the examination offices a year later and in 1927 he was the director of the first specialist seminar for school music trainees.
In 1934 Münnich, who had also worked at the Berlin Academy for Church and School Music from 1929 to 1933, retired and moved to Naumburg.
In 1935 he was appointed professor of musicology at the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt, Weimar, where he also became director of the Institute for School Music three years later (until 1947).
Since Münnich kept silent about his National Socialist German Workers' Party membership (since 1932, before that since 1919 DVP), he retained his position after the war and even took over as head of the musicology department from early 1948 to mid-1949.

During the Kościuszko Uprising in 1794, the Viennese office he directed sent the largest number of reports to the Foreign Interest Department of the Supreme National Council.
After the fall of the uprising, Łempicki remained at the disposal of the king Stanisław August, who in February 1795 called him to return to the country.
It was not until November 25, 1795, that Stanisław August sent him almost a thousand ducats along with a circular letter, finally liquidating the Polish foreign service.

The retreat and church consisted of an architectural ensemble of a chapel, a retreat, a seminary, parsonage, forecourt, and side garden.
The Retreat and Church of Our Lady of Humility was one of the few centers of refuge and education for women in Brazil in the colonial period.
It was developed without a master plan at its outset, and consists of a mixture of architectural styles and type of building materials.
He enlarged the complex between 1845 and 1848, adding the chaplain's house, an infirmary, a locutory, and the beginning of a new seminary.
The Bahia Artistic and Cultural Heritage Foundation, through an agreement with the Brotherhood and the City Hall, began restaurant of the complex in 1975.
It forms the eastern edge of the historic center of Santo Amaro, and is connected to the Town Hall of Santo Amaro by numerous small, narrow streets.
The facade of the building opens to the Subaé River and has a raised church yard, or forecourt, surrounded by an iron railing.
The retreat is to the right of the nave, with a chapel on the first floor and dormitory rooms on the second floor above the transept.
The seminary, often referred to as the new seminary, is a large structure located adjacent to the rear of the chapel and retreat.
The chancel, like other churches of Bahia and the Church of Our Lady of Protection in Santo Amaro built in the same period, has a barrel vault with lunettes.
The azulejos under the choir resemble those of the nave, but date to a later period of artistic and manufacturing decline of azulejos in Portugal.
The statues of Our Lady of the Angels (Nossa Senhora dos Anjos), Saint Miguel, and Saint Rita are attributed by Manoel Querino to Domingos Pereira Balão.
The complex was recognized not only for its historical and architectural value, but also as an element of the Historic Center of Santo Amaro.
It flows north from its source in the Brokenhead Swamp within Sandilands Provincial Forest, to its mouth in Lake Winnipeg south of Stoney Point.
Bears Creek joins as a right tributary south of Mile 76 road N. Beaver Creek joins as a left tributary south of PR 435.

It is located at , just Northwest of Marysville, on the banks of Otter Run, at the intersection of Dog Leg Road and Westlake-Lee Road.
Before 1900, there was a railroad station located here on the Western Division of the Toledo and Ohio Central Railway, but never a post office.
Despite his Roman Catholic faith, he wrote more than thirty chorale preludes, working in a musical genre more traditionally associated with Lutheran worship.
Moritz Brosig was born the youngest son of Joseph Brosig, a minor landowner at Fuchswinke (known since) 1945 by its Polish name as Lisie Kąty) in the countryside on the southern edge of Lower Silesia.
His mother Barbara was the daughter of the man who owned the Kreuzer printing works in the Silesian capital, Breslau (known more recently - since) 1945 - as Wrocław).
When Brosig was just three his father died: his mother sold the family lands and moved with her son to Breslau, which is where Moritz grew to adulthood and, indeed, where he lived for the rest of his life.
The syllabus would have included the works of Rinck, Fischer, Kittel, Albrechtsberger and of course the master himself, J S Bach.
According to his biographer Rudolf Walter, Brosig was no prodigy, but he made up for any deficiency in flair with an exceptionally industrious approach to practicing.
During this period he deputised with growing frequency for his , who combined his teaching responsibilities with a role as principal cathedral organist on the north side of the river.
From 1871 Brosig supplemented his duties at the cathedral with a lectureship at the Institute for Church Music at the University of Breslau.
For many years Moritz Brosig suffered from a problem with his legs which limited his ability to travel and indeed, as the years wore on, made it difficult for him to climb up to the organ loft.
During the 1880s he found he could no longer manage the stairs, and during the final part of his career his duties in the organ loft were increasingly delegated to his assistant Adolf Greulich.
The cheerfulness arising from dance rhythms along with the anthrocentric self-portrayal and theatricality reminiscent of operatic arias were a particular concern for many of the early proponents of what became known as the Cecilian Movement.
Brosig very quickly distanced himself from the association, however, not wishing to make common cause with the more extremist calls for a return to an imagined musical tradition characterised by pre-enlightenment purity.
It is clear from the way in which he ran the music at the cathedral that he was committed to many of the ideas associated with the Cecilian, and he was indeed active in promoting many of the movement's aspirations.
In Breslau cathedral orchestral music continued to be used: that was not the case in cathedrals such as that at catholic Regensburg where the pronouncements of leading Cecilians such as Franz Xaver Witt were implemented less selectively.
So Brosig represented a moderate approach to the Cecilian reforms, giving the sixteenth and seventeenth century vocal music appropriate recognition for its artistic worth and liturgical appropriateness, but without rejecting contemporary compositions, and without rejecting the expressive broadening offered by the traditional incorporation of musical instruments (in addition to the organ) in Catholic church music.
Brosig's compositions resonated most strongly with the church music community in Silesia, and in Catholic southern Germany more broadly, as well as in the German speaking lands of Austro-Hungary (Cisleithania).
With the exception of a very small amount of chamber music and a handful of songs, his output consisted exclusively of church music.
Like many contemporary composers he drew inspiration from Felix Mendelssohn, echoes of whose stylistic devices can frequently be identified in his music.
Yet none of the voices is taken to the extreme limits of the vocally possible, so that in technical terms the delivery is always 'comfortable'.
Distancing his approach from what had become the traditional classical and indeed at times operatic orchestrally accompanied masses, while at the same time firmly rejecting radical Cecilian exclusion of any orchestral involvement within the cathedral building, Brosig tried to respect the liturgical circumstances with his compositions and to produce music that respected contemporary norms without compromising on quality.
In this way he became an important early representative of the so-called of Cathedral Kapellmeisters during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, in the process building the cathedral's reputation as a centre of church music excellence.
The disarmament of the Lou Nuer was a forcible disarmament campaign undertaken by the SPLA in Southern Sudan in December 2005.
The SPLA organized a force under Peter Bol Kong to forcibly disarm the Lou Nuer, whose White Army resisted until a defeat in the battle of Motot, after which they fled the area.
While the Comprehensive Peace Agreement that ended the Second Sudanese Civil War in January 2005 called for the disarmament of other armed groups, it had little guidance on disarming civilians.
However, the SPLM, the major political party in Southern Sudan, decided to disarm civilians in order to reduce ethnic violence, reserve the right to bear arms for the party, eliminate armed groups backed by Sudan, and ensure the security of its territory before challenging Sudan on border issues.
Disarmament started in Western Jonglei State and moved east, with the lightly armed Dinka and later the Jikan Nuer disarming relatively peacefully.
In late 2005, the SPLA assigned Gen. Peter Bol Kong, a Lou Nuer with an ethnically mixed force, to disarm the Lou Nuer.
A series of meetings began in Khorfulus County where the Jonglei State government said that the groups needed to either join the SPLA or turn their weapons in, or else they would be forcibly disarmed.
The Jonglei governor also promised compensation for the weapons, but it was unclear were the funding would come from or who it would go to.
The Lou Nuer refused to disarm, saying they needed their weapons for protection from the Murle, who had not been disarmed.
At the end of January 2006, the White Army forces launched a major attack on the SPLA which left about 60 dead.
Wutnyang Gatkek, a Gawaar Nuer spiritual leader and a former influential white army member was killed when he went to Yuai on behalf of the SPLA to promote disarmament.
The Security Committee of the Government of Southern Sudan met and was spilt, with the leader of the SPLM, Salva Kiir, wanting restraint and with Riek Machar, a Nuer, wanting a rapid response.
Major battles began with Bol Kong's disarmament forces fighting the White Army, the forces of Thomas Maboir (though Maboir did not fight), and a section of the SSDF forces of Simon Gatwitch under his deputy Simon Wojong.
A conference was held from February 27 to March 7 in Yuai with the White Army and leading figures of the Government of Southern Sudan in another attempt to get the Lou Nuer to peacefully disarm.
Riek Machar, regarded as the founder of the White Army, announced its dissolution, but the youth were determined to keep their arms.
From April to May there were frequent sightings of a helicopter arriving at Simon Wojong's camp near Yuai, and it was concluded that this was a Sudanese Armed Forces helicopter bringing supplies.
By May 2006, the Lou Nuer economy was in tatters and many White Army fighters had lost most of their cattle.
After some skirmishes with the White Army and Simon Wojong's forces, the battle of Motot occurred on May 18, in which 113 White Army fighters were killed to just one SPLA soldier killed.
Simon Gatwitch claimed to have ordered his forces north as well to avoid conflict with the SPLA, and they reached Dolip Hill.
In the next place in line for disarmament, Akobo, Akobo Commissioner Doyak Choal, shocked by the violence to the east, quickly organized a disarmament lead by traditional leaders without the involvement of the SPLA.
The violence made it so the locals could not plant and the SPLA was not supplied with food so it had to live off the locals' animals, creating serious food shortages after the conflict.
Quintino Sella was the lead ship of her class of four destroyers built for the (Royal Italian Navy) in the 1920s.
Their main battery consisted of four guns in one twin-gun turret aft of the superstructure and one single-gun turret forward of it.
Between the years 1919 and 1926 Düblin played a total of 57 games for Basel scoring a total of 5 goals.
The turbines were rated at for a speed of in service, although the ship reached a speed of from during her sea trials while lightly loaded.
Their main battery consisted of four guns in one twin-gun turret aft of the superstructure and one single-gun turret forward of it.

ATMACA is an all weather, long range, surface-to-surface, precision strike anti-ship missile which can be integrated to patrol boats, frigates and corvettes.
Prime contractor ROKETSAN started development of the missile in September 2012 after receiving the results of its previous research and development contract with Turkey's Under Secretariat For Defense Industries (SSM) at Navy Research Centre Command (ARMERKOM).its is planned to developed in such way that it can be launched not only from ship to ship but also from submarines, aircraft and ship to land or vise versa.
The first land-based firing of Atmaca was took place in March 2017, after completing various test, the serial production contract for Atmaca was signed with Presidency of defense industry on 29 October 2018.
The missile makes use of its global positioning system (GPS), its inertial navigation system and its barometric altimeter and radar altimeter sub-systems to navigate towards its target, while its active radar seeker pinpoints its target with High precision.
With a range of , this guided missile poses a major threat for targets situated beyond line of sight due to its high explosive fragmentation warhead.

His printing business, Bianco Lunos Bogtrykkeri, was at the time of his death in 1852 the largest company of its kind in Denmark.
Luno was born on 24 June 1795 in Randers, the son of customs officer Jens Luno (1748-96) and Elisabeth Charlotte Boeck (1753-1815).
In spring 1817 he left Denmark and spent the next 11 years working for a number of leading printing houses in Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Hungary.
On his return to Copenhagen in 1828, Luno had acquired a thorough knowledge of the latest trends and technological advances within the printing industry.
In 1831, most likely with the help of Anders Sandøe Ørsted and Hans Christian Ørsted, he was awarded a royal license to set up his own printing business in Copenhagen.
Bianco Lunos Bogtrykkeri employed 40 people and several printing presses by the time that it relocated to larger premises at Østergade 2+ in August 11838.
Professor Christian Nathan David, who had made an investment in the company when Scheider pulled out, was instrumental in attracting many new clients from Copenhagen's literary and scientific elite.
C. A. Reitzel's publishing house used Bianco Lunos Bogtrykkeri on a regular basis for the printing of numerous works by leading writers such as Hans Christian Andersen, Carsten Hauch, J. L. Heiberg, B. S. Ingemann, Frederik Paludan-Müller and Christian Winther.
In 1848, he took over the responsibility for the printing of the constituent assembly's negotiations in a printing workshop at Christiansborg Palace.
His first wife was Laurentze Wilhelmine Anger (17 February 1807 - 16 September 1839), a daughter of master brush-maker and later chief ticket inspector at the Royal Danish Theatre Samuel Anger (c. 1777-1843) and Vilhelmine Marie Henningsen (c. 1785-1870).
His second wife was Johanne Marie Charlotte Kjer, (9 March 1817 - 7.11.1889), a daughter of sailor Lars Christensen Kjær and Christine Marie Lyssing.
Two streets were named after him: Bianco Lunos Allé still exists today, whereas Bianco Lunos Sideallé was renamed Grundtvigsvej in 1872.
Formed in 2018, by Max Neville and Tommy Verity, covering Thrash metal songs to build their audience, the band has diversified across metal genres, attracting new members and more fans to their style.
Originally using the St. Anthony's Catholic School music room as a base for their practice, they usually jammed out to increase their skills.
After the summer, Max Neville left the band to focus on his college studies, and for a while they were left without a drummer.
At this point the band began to steadily increase in following, even to the extent that the members were recognised in public.
After speaking on social media, Jack Haigh, officially recognised as one of the top drummers in the UK, and sponsored by multiple brands, joined the band to replace Max as their drummer.
Rosemary Gordon, (1918 Germany - 17 January 2012, Menerbes, France) was a naturalised British academic, clinical psychologist and leading analytical psychologist and writer.
She was a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Psychological Society and an Honorary Fellow of the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Kent.
After schooling in Switzerland, Gordon came to London where she took a degree in Psychology and later gained a Doctorate at the University of London.
She became a member of the London Society of Analytical Psychology in 1957 of which she was later to become the chairman.
In 1950 Rosemary Gordon married the intelligence officer and later much lauded BBC producer, Peter Montagnon, and was then known as Rosemary Gordon‐Montagnon.
Haplogroup I-BY316, also known as I-Y7626 or I1a3a1a2a1b1 per the International Society of Genetic Genealogy ('ISOGG), is a Y chromosome haplogroup.
On the basis of analysing samples of volunteers in YDNA sequencing, the YDNA analysis company YFull estimated that I-BY316 formed 2,300 years ago (500 BC) (95 % CI 3,100 <-> 1,950 ybp) with a TMRCA (Time to Most Recent Common Ancestor) of 2,400 years (95 % CI 2,800 <-> 2,100 ybp) before present.
Geographically I-BY316 is believed to have arisen in or near what is now Finland (based in part on the current distribution of this haplogroup).The current distribution of I-BY316 shows that there is a very high concentration in the regions bordering the Baltic Sea .
Due to the distinct distribution pattern around the Baltic sea it would appear that the progenitor of I-BY316 may have been immersed in a seafaring culture.
In a historical context the distribution patterns fits well with the historical region of Kvenland and the associated tribe of the Kvens.
At the time when haplogroup I-BY316 came into existence, the Celts were beginning to expand from their traditional territory in southern Germany.
The Germanic peoples were then presumed to be occupying a possible original homeland in southern Sweden and the Jutland peninsula (i.e.
They appear to have gone through a period in which they were conquered by the western Celts and remained subject to them (especially in Jutland).
Triggered by the Gallic invasion, the Germanic peoples began expanding south-westwards along the North Sea coast and eastwards along the shores of the Baltic Sea.
The push eastward along the Baltic Sea deep into Kven territory is assumed to coincide with the migration pattern of I-BY316.
The mythological king Fornjót of the Orkneyinga saga was said to have ruled over Kvenland roughly around the time of haplogroup origin.
Even though mythology may be very far removed from historical truth, it nevertheless paints a picture of a strong seafaring tradition in the area of interest and can therefore help to explain the subsequent expansion of the haplogroup.
Video of the shooting appeared online in real time, and was captured, leading to multiple Twitter posts and YouTube videos showing the actual crime in progress.
The perpetrator shot and killed two members of the church before he was fatally shot by Jack Wilson, another church member, ending the attack within six seconds.
Wilson indicated that five or six other members of the church assembly also drew their own weapons in response to the shooting.
He was wearing a fake beard and a wig and immediately raised the suspicions of the security deacons serving the church.
Given that an armed church member shot and killed the attacker with his concealed firearm, preventing the attack from continuing and more lives being taken, gun-rights advocates are using the shooting as an example of the benefits of private citizens carrying firearms.
Michael Bloomberg responded to the shooting by saying that only law enforcement officers should be allowed to carry guns and make decisions on when to shoot active shooters, generating controversy.
After the hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948, further additions included extra wards in 1981 and a new outpatients department in 1997.
The 2020 Campeonato Carioca de Futebol is the 117th edition of the top division of football in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
The top two teams not competing in any level of the national Campeonato Brasileiro qualify for the 2021 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D. Additionally, the Campeonato Carioca awards four berths to compete in the 2021 Copa do Brasil.
The preliminary phase of the tournament is contested as a round-robin among the two worst-placed teams of the 2019 competition, the two best-placed teams in the 2019 relegation group, and the two teams promoted from the 2019 Série B1.
The top two teams of the preliminary phase qualify for the main competition while the remaining four compete in the relegation playoffs.
If the same club wins both the Taça Guanabara and Taça Rio, and no other team has collected more points than this team across both group stages combined, then this team is immediately champion of the Campeonato Carioca.
The top two teams in the combined table of the Taça Guanabara and Taça Rio automatically qualify to the 2021 Copa do Brasil.
The top team of Group X qualifies for the First Round of the 2021 Campeonato Carioca and the bottom three will contest the Group Z relegation group.
The 2019–20 Oakland Roots SC season is the club's first ever and its first in the newly created National Independent Soccer Association (NISA), a newly established third division soccer league in the United States.

James Tinnion (19 December 1904 – 1977) was an English footballer who made 121 appearances in the Football League playing as a wing half for Darlington and Barrow.
He also played non-league football in the north-east of England for clubs including Lintz Colliery, North Shields, Blyth Spartans, Horden Colliery Welfare, West Stanley, Chopwell Institute, Hexham and Annfield Plain between 1927 and 1938.
He turned professional at the end of that season, but made only one senior appearance, replacing regular centre-half Jimmy Waugh for the league visit to Doncaster Rovers on 29 March 1929, which Darlington lost 3–1.
Without making a single first-team appearance, Tinnion departed Huddersfield on a free transfer, and signed for North Shields of the North-Eastern League.
He made 27 appearances in his first season, and continued as a first-team regular, taking his total to 129 in all competitions over his four-year stay.
Tinnion began the 1935–36 season with Blyth Spartans, but his contract was cancelled by mutual consent in mid-September so that he could join another North-Eastern League team, Horden Colliery Welfare.
Over the next three seasons he had spells with West Stanley, Chopwell Institute, Hexham, for whom he was playing by January 1937, and Annfield Plain.
Tinnion died in 1977; his death at the age of 72 was registered in the Durham Northern district in the third quarter of that year.
In the 1989–90 season, Leeds were promoted to the First Division, having finished as champions of the Second Division on 85 points.

Escolinha do Professor Raimundo is a Brazilian comedy TV sketch and later TV show led by Chico Anysio and aired on various comedy shows for over 38 years.
It premiered on its own television program on August 4, 1957 and on Rede Globo from 1973 until May 28, 1995.
Shortly after no longer being broadcast on Globo due to the low audience results, it nevertheless returned to its original and independent format as a television show airing from March 26 to December 28, 2001, when it was aired its last season.
In 2015, Canal Viva produced, in partnership with Rede Globo, a remake of the old Escolinha, with 7 episodes (2 of which were only broadcast by Globo).
The crew included three members of Chico Anysio's family, all with experience in the original series: direction by his niece Cininha de Paula , writing by his son Nizo Neto (who played Seu Ptolomeu in the original series), and teacher Raimundo was played by his son Bruno Mazzeo (writer in the old Escolinha).
It consisted of a classroom where Professor Raimundo Nonato (Chico Anysio) served as a foil for the jokes of three students: the smart one, played by Afrânio Rodrigues, the dumb one, played by João Fernandes, and a cunning one, played by Zé Trindade.
The intelligent student was now played by João Loredo; its opposite by Castrinho; Vagareza was the trickster who tried to deceive the teacher; and Ary Leite, a stuttering and confused student.
It was recorded initially at the studios of the defunct TV Tupi, at the former Cassino da Urca, and later at Cinédia and at the Tycoon and Renato Aragão studios (now Casablanca Studios), all in Rio de Janeiro, Escolinha aired on Saturdays at 9:30 pm.
In 1999, Chico Anysio decided to take Escolinha on stage in Brazil and his tour kicked off on October 8 for free at Shopping Grande Rio, in São João de Meriti, Rio de Janeiro.
In the same year it was once again aired on Rede Globo, now as a sketch in the program Zorra Total, remaining in the air until October 2000.
The record was issued in Europe on CD by 550 Music, in Japan through Epic, and in the United States by 550, Epic and Frontier Records jointly.
St. Gallen Winkeln railway station () is a railway station in the Winkeln neighborhood of St. Gallen, in the Swiss canton of St. Gallen.
The record consists of seventeen tracks from a film score written and composed by Hildur Guðnadóttir, which received critical acclaim from the film industry.
Guðnadóttir's score was released digitally by WaterTower Music on October 4, 2019, with a vinyl edition later released on December 13, 2019.
She sent Phillips a sample of her composition which included melodies that were very simplistic and monotonic as a means of conflating the film's gritty tone with that of antagonist Arthur Fleck.
Guðnadóttir then attempted to expand - within that simplicity - the orchestration around Phoenix's character without chords or complicated music, but instead with a texture she that felt resonated with the melancholia of the character.
Guðnadóttir was able to introduce her music during film production and brought a piece to Phoenix a few weeks into filming as a means of inspiring his work in a pivotal scene.
Phoenix attested that her score was very effective, whilst adding the preparation was in studying movement and dance during rehearsals, but what came out of that piece of score was a turning point for understanding Arthur.
She acknowledged that she wished to keep elements of old school scoring - as how the film was-, hence the thematic approach; she also spoke of being careful not to be influenced by any of the Joker's previous appearances or the music that followed him, feeling a greater creative when you steer clear of outside influences.
As soon as I played those first notes, it really hit me in the chest somehow, and it was a really strong, physical reaction that I got.
The score is led by the cello, yet - according to Guðnadóttir - the music feels surprisingly symphonic, as the cello is carried by a hundred-piece orchestra throughout the film.
She also stated that Phoenix had an earpiece that fed her music to him so he could shape his performance from the music right on the spot.
I said, ‘So, maybe there’s a movement,’ and he said, ‘Well, I would start on your foot—that’s your move.’ That's all he said and all we had.
Guðnadóttir wishes to expand simple and montonic melodies within the orchestration around Joker's evolution not with chords or any complicated music, but instead with texture that she felt resonated with the melancholia of this Artur.
She slowly built the orchestration around the cello, having it faintly linger in the background like a ghost before coming to the forefront as the Joker persona takes command, at the DiMenna Center for one week with initially 36 musicians, thereafter recording with 72 musicians.
Guðnadóttir concluded that she wished for the final act to be big, grand and cinematic, in which she felt Arthur needed this grand exit out of the film - including variations on the themes that have been going on throughout the film.
Murray spoke of his collaboration with director Phillips and film editor Jeff Groth, how they used effects in conjunction with composer Hildur Guðnadóttir's score to enhance the tension in the film, and how Foley, field recordings, and loop group added distinctive texture to the soundtrack.
On October 4, WaterTower Music announced they will release a picture disc and coloured vinyl editions of the soundtrack on December 13.
The purple disc, sporting the character's signature color; and the second featuring a picture disc which showcases Joaquin Phoenix in his full clown makeup.
The score was widely admired and thought of as a contender for the Academy Award for Best Original Score at the 92nd Academy Awards, with Warner Bros. releasing Guðnadóttir's score as part of the For Your Consideration campaign aimed towards members of awards voting groups such as that of the Academy Awards, and the Hollywood Foreign Press of the Golden Globes.
There is a slow drumbeat, a melancholy, and increasing profoundness to it that strikes to your core, following you just as Fleck's transformation is complete.

Estrogenic substances, sold under the brand name Amniotin among others, is an estrogen medication which was marketed in the 1930s and 1940s and is no longer available.
It was a purified extract of animal material such as horse urine, placenta, and/or amniotic fluid, and contained a non-crystalline mixture of estrogens, including estrone, 17β-estradiol, 17α-estradiol, and/or equilin.
Estrogenic substances was originally produced from the urine of pregnant women, placenta, and/or amniotic fluid, but by the early 1940s, it was manufactured exclusively from the urine of stallions or pregnant mares, similarly to almost all other estrogen preparations on the market.
It was provided in various forms and routes of administration including oil solution for intramuscular injection, oral tablets and capsules, vaginal suppositories, and transdermal ointments.
The medication should additionally be distinguished from estrogen ovarian extracts, which had little activity and were generally considered to be essentially inactive.
Amniotin was originally prepared from the amniotic fluid of cattle, but was later prepared using other sources such as the urine of pregnant mares.

The shore is a large, open area of mudflats and salt pans, with some mangrove areas and scrub, tipped by a sand spit.
The area is not a national park, the land being privately owned, but it is a favoured location for bird-watchers where they can see a wide variety of shorebirds.
Laem Phak Bia is located on the western shore of the northern end of the Gulf of Thailand in Phetchaburi Province, Thailand.
Near the village of Pak Thale in the north of the area lies the Pak Thale Shorebird Conservation Area and areas of salt evaporation ponds.
South of this is the Laem Phak Bia Environmental Research and Development Project (known as the king's project), mudflats, patches of scrub and of mangroves, and a sand spit jutting out into the bay.
Further south lies the village of Laem Phak Bia, and beyond that the beach resort of Hat Chao Samran which has accommodation and facilities for visitors.
On the saltpans nearby, the spoon-billed sandpiper is reliably present from November to March, inclusive, and the painted stork, the red-necked phalarope and the pied avocet can also often be seen.
The sand spit is a wintering area for such gulls as the Pallas's gull, the Heuglin's gull and the Vega gull, and the Malaysian plover the Chinese egret are often present.
Passerines that can be seen in the mangroves, swamps and enclosures at the research centre include the golden-bellied gerygone, the dusky warbler, the racket-tailed treepie, various reed warblers, the common snipe, the pin-tailed snipe, the ruddy-breasted crake and the slaty-breasted rail.
The mangroves have been found to be able to reduce phosphate, ammonia, and nitrate by 88%, 74% and 64% respectively and increase dissolved oxygen by 32%, increasing the efficiency of the wastewater treatment plant to acceptable levels.

Initially named Holywood, she was purchased in 1935 by Greek shipowner Stefanos Synodinos and renamed Tanais after an ancient Greek city in the Don river delta.
After being repaired, she was operated by the (MMR) of Hamburg, carrying cargo and people from the mainland and the Aegean islands.
On late 8 or early 9 June 1944, Tanais sailed with a crew of 12 from Heraklion bound for Piraeus, escorted by three smaller vessels.
Detained in the holds of Tanais were about 265 deported Jews from Chania who have been rounded up a few days before.
There were also several hundreds of Christian Cretan civilians having links with the resistance along with pro-Badoglio Italian prisoners of war who had been arrested after the Armistice of Cassibile.

The Kubitschek Residence Museum () is a museum house located on the shore of Lake Pampulha in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
With a roof in the form of a butterfly with inclined planes, the Kubitschek Residence, which occupies 680 m² of a plot measuring 2,800 m², is a characteristic example of Brazilian modernist architecture.
The house was designed to preserve the intimacy and privacy of the Kubitschek family, an objective achieved by placing the structure at the farthest point from the street, adding a garden designed by Roberto Burle Marx at the entrance, and partitioning the residence's internal spaces.
In the interior of the house, the organization of the space and the decorative details, accentuated by paintings by Alfredo Volpi and Paulo Werneck, reveal the features of the modernist architecture of Oscar Niemeyer and his contemporaries.
Social spaces include living, dining, and game rooms; service spaces include the kitchen, a bathroom, and servants' quarters; and intimate areas included three bedrooms.
At the back of the main structure, near the swimming pool, a smaller house was built, with 3 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, and a bathroom.
Kubitschek used it as an office, and it was one of his favorite places; he would work and take calls while getting some sun by the pool.
The house remained occupied by the Kubitschek family until 1945, when Juscelino Kubitschek moved to Rio de Janeiro to assume his duties as a federal deputy.
With this transaction, the Guerra family came to inhabit the house, which had been at Kubitschek's disposition whenever he visited Belo Horizonte.
Among the furniture and appliances that were still in good condition were a refrigerator and a master bed purchased by Kubitschek, not to mention a French billiard table and 90 other items.
After Joubert Guerra's death in 1977, his wife, Juracy Brasilience Guerra, remained living at the residence until she died in 2004.
With her death, the Prefecture of Belo Horizonte expressed interest in acquiring the house to transform it into a cultural space.
In 2005, the heirs of the Guerra family signed an expropriation agreement ceding the property to the prefecture, which only in 2008 started reconstruction and renovation work for the establishment of the Kubitschek Residence Museum, based on the development plans of the Directory of Patrimony of the Municipal Culture Foundation of Belo Horizonte.
On September 10, 2013, the Municipal Prefecture of Belo Horizonte finally inaugurated the Kubitschek Residence Museum as a cultural space administered by the Municipal Culture Foundation.
The space came to join the Pampulha Modern Ensemble, which also includes theChurch of Saint Francis of Assisi, the Pampulha Museum of Art, and the Casa do Baile.

A Jain stupa dated to the 1st century BCE-1st century CE was excavated at Mathura in the 19th century, in the Kankali Tila mound.
Jain legends state that the earliest Jain stupa was built in the 8th century BCE, before the time of the Jina Parsvanatha.
However the Jain stupa has a peculiar cylindrical three-tier structure, which is quite reminiscent of the Samavasarana, by which it was apparently ultimately replaced as an object of worship.
A Jain stupa dated to the 1st century BCE-1st century CE was excavated at Mathura in the 19th century, in the Kankali Tila mound.
The stupa drum is set on a high platform, and accessed by a flight of stairs and an ornate torana gate, quite similar in style to the toranas of Sanchi.
The drum of the stupa is elongated and cylindrical, and formed of three superposed tiers separated by railings and decorated bands.
On the Vasu ayagapata, one of the Persepolitan pillars is surmounted by a Dharmachakra wheel, and the other pillar was probably surmounted by an animal, as seen in other similar ayagapatas.
The Sivayasa ayagapata shows clearly two triratna symbols on top of the torana, as well as a central flame palmette design.
Here again the Jain stupa in the middle of the relief is of cylindrical type with a three-tier design, separated by three horizontal railings.
The centaurs appearing in the Mathura reliefs, as in other places such as Bodh Gaya, are generally considered as Western borrowings.

The 2019–20 Mexico–Bolivia diplomatic crisis began on 29 October 2019 when the Mexican government congratulated incumbent Bolivian President Evo Morales for his reelection victory.
After the election, a preliminary report by the Organization of American States on 9 November reported numerous irregularities in the election, and amid protests and pressure from the Bolivian armed forces and police, Morales was forced to resign.
After Mexico granted asylum to leaders of the Movement for Socialism (MAS), Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador called Morales's resignation a coup d'etat and refused to recognize the new government of Jeanine Añez.
Mexico is also accused of violating internal norms of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and of violating the Mexican Estrada Doctrine concerning respect for the self-determination of peoples and non-intervention in governments or changes of governments in other nationals.
Interior Minister Arturo Murillo has said repeatedly that Quintana will not be allowed to leave the country, and will be imprisoned.
The Permanent Mission of Mexico in the OAS detailed in a letter that, since 21 December, about 150 Bolivian police and intelligence officials have been observed from the official residence.
Murillo stated that the Mexican ambassador herself asked for extra security, on three separate occasions, because of threats to burn the embassy complex and lynch Quintana.
In response to the threat of being taken to the International Criminal Court, he said that Bolivia can prove that it is Mexico that has violated the treaties.
On 27 December 2019, diplomats from Spain paid a courtesy visit to the Mexican embassy in La Paz and were delayed in their departure due to the detention of vehicles that were to pick them up from that location.
Longaric responded by saying the presence of masked and armed guards aroused suspicion that there would be an attempt to smuggle Quintana from the Embassy to another location.
Former President Jorge Quiroga also questioned the presence of the masked figures and asked that the Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, apologize for the incident.
Longaric said that she had the understanding and support of the ambassadors from the EU concerning the events at the Embassy and they expressed support for the interim government's mission towards new elections.
The decision to grant asylum to Evo Morales provoked Twitter hashtags #BienvenidoEvo and #EvoElMundoEstaContigo among supporters in Mexico, while opponents tweeted #EvoNoEresBienvenidoEnMexico.
The three diplomats being expelled by Spain, hired under the Morales administration, were identified as the chargé d'affaires, Luis Quispe Condori, the military attache, Marcelo Vargas Barral and the police attache, Orso Fernando Oblitas Siles.
On 2 January, Bolivia's interim foreign minister, Karen Longaric said she hoped to meet with her Mexican counterpart, Marcelo Ebrard, in a neutral country to solve the conflict.
Meanwhile, Vox, a Spanish right-wing party, is investigating ties between Pablo Iglesias, the leftist leader of Podemos, and the government of former Bolivian president Evo Morales, as well as the current conflict involving Spanish diplomats.
Their representatives, headed by MEP Hermann Tertsch, met with interior minister Arturo Murillo and defence minister Fernando López to review evidence of payments between members of the Morales administration and Podemos.
Tertsch made a statement asking that Mexico reconsider its position on the asylees as Quintana is one of those heavily implicated as being involved.

At the end of a round (five hands), the role of Dragonmaster passes to the player to the left of the current dealer.
If the power play is successful, the other players must pay that player a number of jewels, and the player becomes the Dragonmaster for the rest of the round.
If the player with the Dragon card does not want to attempt a powerplay, all players except the current Dragonmaster can secretly attempt to meet the powerplay conditions listed on the back of one of the hand cards, with the same rewards or penalties as the Advanced game.
He is well known in Bulgarian historiography for removing the lower boundary of the Bulgarian Renaissance from 1762 or from the writing of Istoriya Slavyanobolgarskaya - until the beginning of the 18th century with the end of the Köprülü era.

889 Broadway, also known as the Gorham Manufacturing Company Building, is a Queen Anne style building located at Broadway and East 19th Street in the Flatiron District of Manhattan in New York City, within the Ladies' Mile Historic District.
889 Broadway served as a retail store for the Gorham Manufacturing Company, a major manufacturer of sterling and silverplate, until 1905.
The stories above the second floor were originally rented as bachelor apartments until Gorham expanded into the rest of the building.
In 1977, the original layout was restored, and in 1984, the building was designated an official city landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.
Peter purchased three lots along Broadway's eastern sidewalk, bounded by 19th Street to the south and 20th Street to the north, where the adjacent 900 Broadway is now located.
While Broadway below 14th Street, at Union Square, was known as an upscale residential district, the section to the north did not see similar development, and the most opulent residence on this stretch would be Peter Goelet's residence on 19th Street, which stood until 1897.
Any residential usages were quickly supplanted by commercial ventures, which at the time were quickly expanding along this section of Broadway.
Upon acquiring their uncles' land, Robert and Ogden Goelet wished to build a new structure, hiring Edward Hale Kendall to design a new building on the northwest corner of 20th Street and Broadway.
The Goelet brothers originally intended their new development as a mixed-use building, with the first and second floors used for retail and the rest intended for residential use.
Kendall, who had used different architectural styles for his previous buildings, might have picked the Queen Anne style as being more suitable for a structure that contained apartments over retail space.
The retail space was rented out by the Gorham Manufacturing Company, a silver-making company of Providence, Rhode Island, which opened its New York City store in 889 Broadway's first and second floors in May 1884.
In 1888, Gorham expanded its commercial space; the third floor was converted to a silver plate-engraving room and the fourth floor became a salesroom.
B. Altman and Company moved in 1906 to 355-371 Fifth Avenue, between 34th and 35th Streets, diagonally across from the present Empire State Building.
The Gorham Company moved later the same year to 390 Fifth Avenue, a block north at 36th Street, which had opened in September 1905.
The building was converted by John H. Duncan in 1912 into lofts and offices, removing a corner tower and adding roof dormers.
In 1977, it was restored to its original configuration, with a retail store on the ground floor and the remaining floors made into cooperative apartments.
The building was designated a New York City landmark on June 19, 1984, and was designated again as part of the Ladies' Mile Historic District in 1989.
The building is unusual in that it is one of relatively few commercial buildings in the Queen Anne style within New York City.
First used in the United States in the 1860s, the Queen Anne style included such features as asymmetric brick facades, stone decorative trim, elaborate ornamentation, and roofs interrupted by dormers or gables.
Along Broadway, the original three-bay facade on the first floor was replaced in 1912 with the current five-bay-wide storefront, made of limestone.
On the second story, the windows are made of arched frames inside rectangular openings, except for the center bay on Broadway, where there are three sash windows.
Above the lower two stories, the window bays on the Broadway facade contain similarly-designed sash windows, except that the center bay is narrower.
On the 19th Street facade, all of the window bays contain one sash window per floor on the third through seventh floors.
Going from Broadway, the first, fourth, and seventh columns of windows are identical to each other and contain black iron window frames.
Notable features of both facades include segmental arches above the fifth floor of several bays, as well as carved scroll motifs and slightly projecting piers.
The dormers are located above all three window bays along Broadway, and above the first, fourth, and seventh window bays along 19th Street.
The building was named for the Gorham Manufacturing Company, a major manufacturer of sterling and silverplate, and was a successor to the former Gorham Manufacturing Company Building at 889 Broadway.
It was then home to Russeks department store from 1924 to 1959, and then Spear Securities from 1960, who changed the street level facade.
It was designated a New York City landmark in 1998, after the lower floors were significantly altered from their original design.
In 1884, the Gorham Manufacturing Company opened its New York City showroom on 889 Broadway, at 19th Street in the Ladies' Mile Historic District.
Development was centered on Fifth Avenue north of 34th Street, where new department store buildings were quickly replacing the street's brownstones.
In 1903, its president Edward Holbrook leased the future site of 390 Fifth Avenue, at the southwest corner with 36th Street.
Because the building was not intended to host any other tenants, 390 Fifth Avenue was designed entirely to the Gorham Manufacturing Company's specifications.
Fireproofing was considered especially important due to the value of Gorham's merchandise; when it opened, one journal estimated that while the building was worth $1.25 million (equal to about $ million in ), its merchandise was worth twice as much.
Prior to moving in to the property, Russeks made major changes, which included adding reinforced concrete floors, as well as a new shop window, and expanding a four-story section of the building on 36th Street to eight stories.
The next year, 384 Fifth Avenue was connected to 390 Fifth Avenue internally, and the facade of the former was rebuilt with a limestone base and ground-floor display windows.
Russeks continued to occupy the building until 1959, when the company announced the closure of their Fifth Avenue store after five years of losses.
The building's colonnade and carved-marble sheets were removed as part of the renovation, and a glass facade was installed along the lower stories.
Herbert Tannenbaum, the architect in charge of the renovation, later said that he had wanted to save the carved marble and the colonnade.
Twenty-six years later, the building and its lease were given to 390 Fifth LLC, a limited liability company affiliated with the Schwalbe family.
390 Fifth Avenue is an eight-story building, designed in an early Italian Renaissance Revival style, with a facade of granite and white limestone.
Along Fifth Avenue and 36th Street (respectively located to the east and north), the facade is made up of three horizontal segments: the base on the lowest two stories; the middle four stories; and the loggia-like attic section on the highest two stories.
Most of the easternmost arch on 36th Street, and all of the arches on Fifth Avenue, were replaced with a storefront composed of an aluminum and glass grid.
The remaining arches on 36th Street were preserved, with the main entrance to the building being located within the westernmost arch.
There are six bays on the upper floors on the Fifth Avenue facade, and 14 such bays on the 36th Street facade.
On the Fifth Avenue side, there is a balcony spanning the two middle bays on the fifth floor, and on the 36th Street facade, another balcony spans the four center bays on the fifth floor.
The base is composed of a storefront, topped by three sets of sash windows, corresponding to the height of the base in the original building.
When the building was erected, Gorham supplied the bronze ornamentation for the facade on the top floors, fifth-floor balconies, and ground level, manufactured to designs by White.
The copper cornice at the top of the building, once having been polychrome and gilded, has corroded to a green color.
On the cornice above the sixth floor of the Fifth Avenue facade, there is a frieze, with a cartouche in the center flanked by a pair of lions.
Custom designs were shown on the second floor, while bronze objects and ecclesiastical and hotel merchandise were located on the third floor.
Yale can trace its ice hockey history back to 1893, however, it wasn't until 1986 that they played their first intercollegiate match.
Malcolm Chace, who was also a nationally-ranked tennis player, founded the Yale men's team in his senior year, serving as both captain and manager of the club.
As there were no on-campus facilities capable of supporting an ice rink the team played all of their games on the road.

Although largely forgotten through the Christianization of Scandinavia, Old Norse philosophy has had a profound impact on the patterns of thought of modern Scandinavians.
Old Norse philosophy appears to have been a largely indigenous in origin, having developed in relative isolation independent of outside influences.
Scholars, such as Guðmundur Finnbogason and Sveinbjorn Johnson, have pointed out striking similarities between Old Norse philosophy and ancient Greek philosophy, in particular that of Homer and Aristotle.
Similarly to ancient Greek philosophy, Old Norse philosophy was independent of influence from religious dogma, and emphasized that human nature was the foundations on which the pillars of moral philosophy must rest.
A man was to be a faithful friend, and was not to be on friendly terms with the friends of his enemies.
In accordance to Old Norse philosophy, it was foolish to lay awake at night thinking about ones troubles, as this made one less able to deal with the problem the next day.
Despite belonging to a warrior culture, Old Norse philosophy emphasizes that even the lame, the armless, the deaf, and the blind have a particular place in society.
Although the Norse eventually converted to Christianity and adopted Christian ethics, the spirit of Old Norse philosophy has left a profound legacy among later Scandinavians.
The Middlesex Railroad (later renamed to the Boston Consolidated Street Railway) was an early street railway company that operated in the Boston, Massachusetts area in the mid-nineteenth century.
The Middlesex Railroad was founded on April 29, 1854 by an act of the Massachusetts state legislature, with Asa Fisk, Richard Downing, and David Kimball being the original corporators.
The initial route proposed for the company was for a line running from one or more points in Somerville down to Charlestown Square (now City Square) in Charlestown, then continuing into Boston via the Warren Bridge and proceeding as far as Haymarket Square before returning to Charlestown via the Charles River Bridge.
The Somerville portion of the line went unrealized (with the rights to build in that town eventually being conveyed to the Somerville Horse Railroad), but work on the Charlestown and Boston components of the route was commenced in October 1856, and on March 6 of the following year the first car was run from Charlestown Neck to the corner of Stillman and Charlestown (now North Washington) streets in Boston.
In its first years the Middlesex recorded no direct passenger traffic as its road was leased to the Malden and Melrose Railroad, which furnished the equipment and handled operations.
Eventually, however, the Middlesex acquired a controlling interest in the Malden and Melrose, and at the end of March 1862 the latter agreed to provide the Middlesex with a forty-two year grant for exclusive use of its tracks.
At the same time, the company stepped into leases formerly held by the Malden and Melrose, by which it additionally gained control of the lines of the Medford and Charlestown, the Somerville Horse, and the Boston and Chelsea railroads.
Use of the Boston and Chelsea was soon however transferred to the Lynn and Boston Railroad, while operation of the Somerville Horse was eventually divided with the Union Railroad.
By the mid-1860s the Middlesex constituted one of the four principal street railways of the Boston area, together with the Metropolitan, Union/Cambridge, and South Boston.
In 1865 the company reported an annual passenger count of 2.8 million (excluding passengers counted by lessor lines), which increased to 4.4 million by 1875 and 7.6 million in 1885.
In 1870 the Middlesex consolidated with the Suburban Railroad Company, and a decade later it did the same with the Medford and Charlestown.
In August 1886 the Middlesex and the Highland Street Railway agreed to consolidate and form the Boston Consolidated Street Railway, with Charles Edward Powers of the Middlesex serving as president and Moody Merrill of the Highland as vice president.
With the merger, the new company became the second largest street railway operating in Boston (after the Metropolitan), and the addition of the Highland lines extended operations southward into the neighborhoods of the South End and Dorchester.
In 1887 the West End Street Railway gained a controlling interest in the Boston Consolidated as part of its general plan to unite the public streetcars of Boston under one company.
The Zhao Jianmin Spy Case (), or Zhao Jianmin Wrong Case (), was a major fabricated spy case in Yunnan province during the Chinese Cultural Revolution, with more than 1.387 million people implicated and persecuted, which accounted for 6% of the total population in Yunnan at the time.
From 1968–1969, more than 17,000 people died in massacre while 61,000 people were crippled for life; in Kunming (the capital of Yunnan) alone, 1,473 people were killed and 9,661 people were disabled.
In March, 1967, Zhao Jianmin, then the provincial communist party secretary of Yunnan, suggested to Kang Sheng in person that the Communist Party of China (CPC) should resolve the issues in Cultural Revolution in a democratic manner, receiving no immediate response from the latter.
However, Kang Sheng snitched on Zhao to Mao Zedong afterwards, claiming that Zhao was against the Central Committee of CPC, against Chairman Mao, and against the Cultural Revolution.
Tan Furen, a lieutenant general in the People's Liberation Army, was in charge of the massive persecution after Mao Zedong and the Central Committee of CPC sent him to Yunnan to direct local affairs.
After the Cultural Revolution, Zhao Jianmin was officially rehabilitated and became a vice director of the Third Ministry of Machine Building.

It was first deployed in 1941 and was active as part of various armies under Army Group Centre until 1944, when it was destroyed during the Soviet Red Army operations Bagration and Kutuzov in June and July 1944.
All of its divisions were destroyed and all but a few of the soldiers were killed or captured by the Soviet Union.
A new unit named LIII Army Corps was subsequently deployed in December 1944, when it was assigned to 7th Army and fought on the western front until surrendering to United States Army forces in April 1945.
In the early days of the fighting, LIII Army Corps stayed as part of 4th Army's reserve, but assisted German advances in Belarus, including at the Battle of Białystok–Minsk, when LIII Army Corps assisted the army group's right flank at Malaryta.
On 25 October 1941, LIII Army Corps, still under the command of Weisenberger, became part of 2nd Panzer Army, commanded by Heinz Guderian.
LIII Army Corps joined 2nd Panzer Army at the Oka River on 26 October and assisted the 4th Army on 2nd Panzer Army's left flank in defensive operations against Russian counterattacks.
Red Army movements east of 2nd Panzer Army led Guderian to then redeploy LIII Army Corps to the right flank at the line between Yepifan and Stalinogorsk.
LIII Army Corps, advancing some 9 kilometers north of Spasskoye-Penkova, met heavy Soviet resistance in the form of two cavalry divisions, five rifle divisions and a tank brigade that were approaching from Yefremov towards Tula with the intention to attack XXIV Army Corps units that were bogged down south of Tula.
The Soviet forces were surprised by the presence of LIII Army Corps just as LIII Army Corps was surprised by the sudden arrival of heavy Soviet forces, and a battle was fought between the 3 November and 13 November.
In the meantime, the bitter winter of 1941 was starting to cause serious casualties to German infantry formations, as infantry companies were reduced in fighting strength by the effects of the cold temperature and hostile weather.
After several days of relentless Soviet attacks, leaving 167th Infantry Division heavily battered, Guderian judged the defensive value of LIII Army Corps as only limited.
By 5 August, 11th Panzer Division and 26th Infantry Division were transferred to LIII Army Corps, whereas 134th Infantry Division was transferred away.
These divisions were joined until 5 November by 134th Infantry Division, which returned to the corps after being transferred away in July, as well as 52nd Infantry Division, which had been part of LIII Army Corps during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa, and 293rd Infantry Division.
On 1 January 1943, LIII Army Corps, still part of 2nd Panzer Army, consisted of 25th, 112th, 134th, 293rd and 296th Infantry Divisions.
By 9 April, 134th Infantry Division and 296th Infantry Division had been transferred to LV Army Corps, and 211th Infantry Division joined LIII Army Corps from Corps Scheele.
By 7 July, 112th Infantry Division, part of the division since January 1942, was transferred away and 208th Infantry Division joined LIII Army Corps.
All divisions, including the 25th, 208th, 211th and 293rd Infantry Divisions, were assigned to other army corps, whereas the LIII Army Corps was tasked with overseeing 20th Infantry Division and 34th Infantry Division, as well as 26th Infantry Division, which was already part of LIII Army Corps once before, between July and October 1942.
By September 1943, LIII Army Corps was unassigned from 2nd Panzer Army and put into Army Group Centre's reserve, in preparation for a transfer to 3rd Panzer Army.
These divisions were subsequently transferred to VI Army Corps, whereas LIII Army Corps was assigned 3rd and 4th Luftwaffe Field Divisions in December 1943.
3rd and 4th Luftwaffe Field Divisions were joined by 2nd and 6th Luftwaffe Field Divisions, as well as 14th, 129th, and 197th Infantry Divisions, by 1 January 1944.
Instead, LIII Army Corps was joined by 20th Panzer Division, previously part of the corps in 1942, and once again by 246th Infantry Division, which had been part of VI Army Corps in the meantime.
By 3 of March, 20th Panzer Division had been transferred away to 9th Army's LV Army Corps, whereas 197th Infantry Division now joined VI Army Corps.
95th Infantry Division was transferred away by 15 April 1944 with no replacement, leaving LIII Army Corps with 4th and 6th Luftwaffe Field Divisions as well as 206th and 246th Infantry Divisions.
When the Soviet Operation Kutuzov hit LIII Army Corps beginning on 12 July, the Soviet troops advanced with an artillerity density of more than 200 guns per kilometer of front, whereas LIII Army Corps could only offer 1.7 barrelled weapons per kilometer as a resistance.
3rd Panzer Army fell into military disaster in the Vitebsk salient, where it was ordered to stand its ground against overwhelming Soviet forces instead of mounting a fighting retreat.
This came as a result of a direct order from Adolf Hitler and could thus not be overruled by local military commanders.
Friedrich Gollwitzer, commander of LIII Army Corps, decided to disobey Hitler's orders and attempt to escape with his forces towards German positions.
The final breakout attempt and the last signal from LIII Army Corps was received in the early morning hours of 27 June, when large parts of the corps attempted the westwards breach through Soviet-controlled areas that were now 80 kilometers deep.
While there was an initial order given on 26 July 1944 to use the remnants of LIII Army Corps to reinforce XXXXI Panzer Corps, the remainders of the corps were instead mostly transferred to the Waffen-SS and used by XII SS Army Corps.
LIII Army Corps surrendered to United States Army troops on 15 April 1945 near Menden, then under command of Fritz Bayerlein.

James Arthur Coan, Jr. (born July 11, 1969) is an American affective neuroscientist, clinical psychologist, writer, podcast host, human rights activist, and psychology professor at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, where he serves as director of the Virginia Affective Neuroscience Laboratory.
In 1991, as an undergraduate at the University of Washington, Coan designed the Lost in the Mall technique that successfully implanted false memories first in his little brother, then in several subjects in a formal experiment supervised by psychology professor Elizabeth Loftus, and finally in many more subjects in several replication experiments by other researchers.
Also as an undergraduate at UW, Coan began working in the marriage lab of psychology professor John Gottman, a collaboration that continued during Coan's doctoral work at the University of Arizona.
Coan helped Gottman refine and expand the Specific Affect Coding System (SPAFF), a method for coding human emotion based on close observation of facial expressions—including minute, subtle expressions rarely noticed by untrained observers.
Coan researched hand holding first as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and later as a professor at the University of Virginia.
Using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Coan showed that holding hands with a spouse relieved subjects' anxiety in response to anticipated threats, and that the degree of relief correlated positively with self-reported relationship quality.
This work attracted national media attention, leading to a TED Talk and a recurring on-camera gig as a science expert on National Geographic Network's Brain Games science series.
Coan attracted additional national press coverage for replicating the soothing effect of spousal handholding with committed same-sex couples , and for showing similar effects with close relatives and friends.
Unlike most primates, human beings are prepared to have multiple kinds of caregivers, and we tend to cooperate reflexively with one another from an early age.
In April 2019, the New York Times consulted Coan on the psychology of physical boundaries in response to the Me Too movement as it applied to the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Since 2017, Coan has hosted and produced the podcast Circle of Willis, where he interviews prominent scientists, including Lisa Feldmann Barrett, John Caciappo, Nilanjana Dasgupta, Lisa Diamond, Sue Johnson, Brian Nosek, Nicole Prause, Simine Vazire, David Sloan Wilson.
Coan's Circle of Willis podcast is supported by the Virginia Quarterly Review and the University of Virginia's Center for Media and Citizenship.
Then, Coan penned a Washington Post op-ed condemning family separation, and advised a Post reporter regarding the effects of family separation and no-touch policies on affected migrant children.
In August 2018, Coan joined an amicus brief on behalf of affected children, filed with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The Macedonian refugees in Atalanti were a compact population from the Macedonia region, settled in the town of Atalanti after the establishment of the independent Kingdom of Greece.
Between February and March 1831, 150 captains with their men fled from Thessaloniki to southern parts of Greece and the government of Ioannis Kapodistrias received and accommodated them in Atalanti.
A royal decree of March 20, 1835, affirmed that 370 Macedonian refugees were granted the right to settle in Atalanti, freeing up 3.5 acres of state land for cultivation and food.
By royal decree of April 25, old style, or May 7, 1837, Macedonians were granted the right of self-government - in this case, against the existing local Greek community.
This provoked protest by the mayor and as a result the formation of two parallel self-governing communities, with no analogue in the territory of the Kingdom of Greece.

The Church of the Good Shepherd on the shores of Lake Tekapo on the South Island of New Zealand is a small Anglican church used by various denominations.
Built in 1935 as a memorial church to commemorate early settlers, it is one of the most photographed items in the country.
The Fairlie cure extended up to Mount Cook Village and Davies realised that the Mackenzie Basin needed its own church; he first suggested this to parishioners in September 1933.
Davies also suggested that a large window should be incorporated so that there could be a view from within the church of the lake, based on the 1930 design of St James Church at Franz Josef on the West Coast.
The idea was taken up by various local runholders who thought that it would be an appropriate way of acknowledging and commemorating their pioneering ancestors.
The land for the building was given by the owners of Braemar Station, which is (mostly) located on the eastern shore of Lake Tekapo.
A generous amount of land belongs to the church so that the building will continue to be sited on its own.

The Ardenwald axe murders is an unsolved mass murder that occurred in the early morning of June 9, 1911 in Ardenwald, then a neighboring community of Portland, Oregon, United States.
The victims were the Hill family: William Hill, his wife Ruth, and Ruth's two children from a previous marriage, Philip and Dorothy.
Because both of the female victims were sexually assaulted, it was believed by authorities that the murders were motivated by sex and possibly the work of a sex maniac.
Nathan Harvey, a landowner who lived adjacent to the Hills' home, was charged with their murders on December 20, 1911, but these charges were dropped one week later, and further investigation into Harvey's possible involvement was ceased in February 1912 following an inquest.
In 1917, a man named William Riggin confessed to having participated in the murders, but provided significantly varied accounts that were inconsistent with one another.
In the spring of 1911, William Hill (born December 19, 1878); his wife Ruth (née Cowing; born March 26, 1878); and Ruth's two children from her previous marriage, Philip Rintoul (born October 14, 1902) and Dorothy Rintoul (born June 2, 1905); moved into a cottage in the rural community of Ardenwald, then located immediately south of Portland.
At approximately 8:00 a.m. on June 9, the wife of C. W. Matthews, a neighbor of the Hills', knocked on the front door of their home after her husband noticed that William had not left the residence as he normally did each morning to catch the interurban streetcar to his job at the Portland Natural Gas Company.
Upon receiving no answer, Mrs. Matthews peeked into the front window of the home, and saw the bloodied body of four-year-old Dorothy laid out on the floor.
It was estimated that the murders occurred around 12:45 a.m. based on a broken clock in the cabin that had stopped at the time, along with a neighbor's report that his dogs had begun barking loudly around this period.
It was determined that, after William had been bludgeoned to death, Ruth was then struck with the axe twice in the head.
It was determined by authorities that the axe did not belong to the Hills, and had been stolen from the front porch of Joseph Delk, who lived approximately north of the Hills.Most of the windows of the Hill home had been covered in cloth and garments by the perpetrator, ostensibly to conceal the crime.
Though some jewelry was missing from the Hill residence, other valuables and money were left behind, leading Sheriff Mass to exclude robbery as a motive for the crime.
Because of the violent and sexual nature of the murders, Mass believed that sex was the motive, and that the assailant may have been a pedophile.
In order to assist the investigation, Mass brought a bloodhound from Seattle to complete searches of the Hill property and surrounding area, but these efforts proved unfruitful.
Ruth similarly sustained a several skull fracture that extended from above her right eye across her whole face, as well as another fracture that broke her teeth and lower jaw.
Dorothy had sustained several skull fractures to both the front and back of the head from an axe blade, while Philip's head wounds appeared to have been inflicted with the handle of the axe.
Based on examination of Ruth's body, it was determined she had likely been raped after death, while Dorothy had been sexually assaulted prior to her murder.
On the morning of the Hill murders, a vagrant named Edward Ramsey was arrested at Oaks Bottom while attempted to float on a makeshift raft.
After his arrest, it was believed by authorities that Ramsey had been the subject of a series of complaints—spanning several years—regarding an unknown man lurking in the communities east of Portland.
On December 20, 1911, a 55-year-old nursery owner named Nathan Harvey, who lived from the Hill residence, was charged with the murders of all four victims.
Harvey, an Iowa native and local businessman and property owner, had been in a land dispute with William Hill prior to the Hills' murders.
Upon investigation, it was uncovered that Harvey had already been loosely connected to various gruesome crimes: In 1894, an 18-year-old woman named Mamie Welch was murdered in a strawberry patch on Harvey's property, and her body found lying next to an adjacent road.
A series of other murders and mysterious deaths occurred within the Harvey family: in 1896, one of Harvey's brothers shot their mother to death before killing himself, and in 1899, one of Harvey's other brothers was found drowned in a mill pond in Milwaukie.
On December 23 and 26, mass meetings were held in Milwaukie and Sellwood, during which over 500 signatures were gathered calling for the charges to be dropped.
While Mass was convinced that Harvey was the Hills' murderer, the charges against him were ultimately dropped on December 27, 1911, pending further investigation, and he was released during a preliminary hearing.
Riggin claimed to have met the men in Oregon City, and that they planned a robbery scheme together, looting local homes.
According to Riggin, he watched outside the Hills' cottage while Brown, armed with an axe, and Flynn entered to rob the family.
Upon further questioning, Riggin changed his account of events, instead claiming in a formal statement (made July 21, 1917) to have participated in the robbery and murders with Edward Ramsey, not the anonymous Brown and Flynn.
Despite this, Riggins was able to point out specific locations regarding the crime, including the site of the Hills' cottage, which had been demolished after their murders.
The Ardenwald axe murders have been described by historians as one of the most brutal murders in the history of Oregon, and in the enduring years became subject of local folklore.
In a strange coincidence, the Villisca axe murders in Villisca, Iowa occurred exactly one year and one day after the Ardenwald murders.
The Basilio Cascella Civic Museum (Italian: Museo civico Basilio Cascella) is an Italian pinacotheca based in Pescara in the Porta Nuova district.
The museum is located in the former lithographic establishment established at the end of the nineteenth century by the painter Basilio Cascella.
The building, for half a century the center of artistic production and meeting place for intellectuals such as Gabriele D'Annunzio, Luigi Pirandello, and Giovanni Pascoli, was donated to the Comune of Pescara in 1966 by the heirs of Cascella.
Thanks to the initiative of , in 1975 the structure was used as a civic museum dedicated to the dynasty of Cascella artists.
The art gallery houses a collection of around 600 works of painting, sculpture, ceramics and graphics, created between the 19th and 20th centuries by Basilio Cascella and his descendants, including his sons Tommaso and Michele, and his grandsons and Pietro.
The building looks like an eclectic two-story villa, characterized by a structure made entirely of terracotta bricks with some artistic majolica.
Located in the Porta Nuova district, the art gallery is located in viale Guglielmo Marconi, which in the town's toponymy of those years took the name of via delle Acacie, in reference to the uncultivated and damp territory located between the Port of Pescara and the Aterno-Pescara river.
The villa was the residence of Basilio Cascella until 1929, the year in which he moved to Rome after being elected deputy.
Tommaso Cascella , his eldest son, continued to live with his first wife and their six children, including Andrea and Pietro , until 1966, when the villa was donated to the Municipality of Pescara.
The main body of the museum, which consists of the historical laboratory of the family, has an architecture that stands out from the part added at the time of the expansion of the structure.
The museum houses a library with thematic volumes on the art and cultural history of Pescara and a multimedia educational laboratory.
After taking part in the exhibitions in Turin (1884), Venice (1887) and London (1888), Basilio Cascella bought land in the Porta Nuova area in 1895 from the Comune of Pescara to build a painting, lithography, and related arts studio, attached to his home.
Thus Cascella began an artistic school that in a few years became an important center for local and national culture, attracting a large number of young people.
The laboratory guaranteed a solid training for Tommaso, Michele, and Gioacchino Cascella, who started their artistic career under their father's guidance.
The lithographic activity of the studo continued until 1966, the year in which the laboratory was acquired by the Comune of Pescara.
, a Pescara councilor and later member of the Chamber of Deputies, promoted the establishtment of a civic museum dedicated to the art of Basilio Cascella.
The initial collection included around 500 works of painting, sculpture, ceramics and graphics, belonging to the generations of artists of the Cascella family.
The original structure has been significantly expanded over the years through the inclusion of works signed by Andrea and Pietro Cascella, sons of Tommaso and grandsons of Basilio.
Once managed by the Genti d'Abruzzo Foundation, in 2017, the museum underwent a general restoration; Mariano Cipollini, artistic curator of the museum, establish a new location for the works, reorganized according to a criterion that aims to highlight not only the cultural evolution of the individual artists, but also the historical-cultural evolution of all the members of the family.
The Basilio Cascella Civic Museum extends over two levels divided into twelve rooms, ten of which are located in the original part of the building and two are located in the new wing.
The art gallery houses about 600 works of the Cascella family, made between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries with various artistic techniques, such as paintings on canvas, ceramics, sculptures, drawings, graphic works and postcards of five generations of artists.
Once completed, he sent the work o the Venice Biennale, but the exhibition organizers refused it due to its belated arrival.
A postal mistake misplaced the painting during transportation; it was returned to the sender thirty years later, when it was found intact near Ancona.
Some creations of Pietro Cascella are presented with the author's first name only, because of his stylistic choices in contrast with the tastes of the progenitor Basilio, who initially forbade his grandson to use the family name.
The Finnish Civil War was a conflict in 1918, which killed more than 38,000 people (about one percent of the country's population), of whom 1,650 were victims of Red Terror, and over 10,000 of White Terror.
Rafael Arcangel Quispe Flores is an indigenous Bolivian community leader, politician and current head of the Fund for Indigenous Development after appointment by Jeanine Añez.
He is a mallku (traditional leader) and became leader of National Council of Ayllus and Markas of Cullasuyu (CONAMAQ), a body of traditional leaders representing collective land-holdings (ayllus) and regions (markas) from throughout the Aymara realm (Cullasuyu).
In March 2014, he reported that the then Executive Secretary of the Federation of Peasant Women Bartolina Sisa de La Paz, Felipa Huanca, was part of the mulimillion dollar embezzlement of the liquidated Indigenous Fund.
In the run-up to the 2019 election, he delivered a tray of eggs to Vice President Linera to boost Linera's brainpower if he were to take up the challenge of facing Quispe in a debate.
On 1 January 2020, Quispe reported economic damage through corruption of Bs 121 million ($17.5 million) to the Fund for Indigenous Development during the previous Morales administration via hundreds of projects that were never completed despite money being distributed.
The Papal Representative to Vietnam is an official of the diplomatic service of the Holy See responsible for articulating and defending the interests of the Holy See to officials of the Catholic Church, civil society, and government offices in Vietnam.
The Holy See and the government of Vietnam have not established diplomatic relations and the position of Papal Representative to Vietnam is not a diplomatic one, though he is a member of the diplomatic service of the Holy See and the government of Vietnam agreed to the creation of the position in 2011.
Such relations as existed between the Holy See and the government ended with the formation of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in 1976.
More than thirty years later, as the parties negotiated a new relationship, Pope Benedict XVI met with Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung in 2007 and with Vietnamese President Nguyen Minh Triet in 2009.
In agreeing in 2011 to the appointment of a Papal Representative to Vietnam, the government retained the right to approve the appointee, as is customary for diplomatic appointments, and to approve the Representative's working visits to Vietnam.

King joined Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1959 as an Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering to become director of the School of Chemical Engineering Practice station at the Exxon (then Esso) Bayway refinery in New Jersey.
In 1963, King joined University of California, Berkeley as Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering, becoming Associate Professor in 1966 and Full Professor in 1969.
In 1981, King was appointed as the Dean of College of Chemistry and later in 1987 as the Provost of the Professional Schools and Colleges, a position in which he served until 1994.
At the time of his appointment, King was the first chemical engineer to become Dean of the College of Chemistry at Berkeley.
During his time as UC provost, King helped launch the new, tenth UC campus at Merced, the California Digital Library, and eScholarship, the University of California’s open access, electronic repository for publications by UC authors.
He returned to UC Berkeley in 2004 as the Director of Center for Studies in Higher Education, serving in this position for a full decade until 2014.
King was also Faculty Senior Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and was Program Leader for Chemical Processes in the Energy and Environment Division from 1978 to 1981.
He has done considerable research on dehydration of foods and beverages, and in particular those phenomena that influence the quality of the product.
Although he started by measuring and explaining drying rates in terms of fundamental transport phenomena, he soon turned to learning how highly volatile substances such as taste and aroma components could best be retained despite their being much more volatile than the water which was itself being vaporized during evaporative drying.
He also worked with freeze concentration for beverages, such as fruit juices, wherein water is frozen as suspended ice crystals which are then filtered out.
Subsequent research supported by the U. S. Army dealt with limited freeze drying that would leave enough water to provide sufficient pliabilty of the product for compression to smaller size for military uses.
King later turned to spray drying of beverages and other liquids, for which the loss of volatile flavor and aroma substances occurs largely in the spray-nozzle zone, where the droplets to be dried are formed.
King and his colleagues examined factors influencing the loss of volatile flavors and aroma and also the factors affecting the development of particle morphology (size, shape, porosity, and thus the bulk density) of the dried product.
In later research, King and his colleagues created a device to enable simultaneous measurement of particle morphology and loss of volatile components as the drying of single drops to particles took place.
In later research, King and his colleagues created a device to enable simultaneous measurement of particle morphology and loss of volatile components as the drying of single drops to particles took place.
Some of King's research has dealt with the removal and recovery of polar organic substanes from aqueous streams in two contexts.
He later turned to the use of solvent extraction and adsorption, with and without chemical complexation, for recovery of carboxylic acids, glycols and alcohols from aqueous process streams, such as occur in the manufacture of these chemicals from biomass by fermentation.
Some of his other work dealt with systematic methods for synthesizing processes from component steps, such as sequencing multiple distillation columns and cascade refrigeration systems.
King stopped chemical engineering research in 1999, part-way through his service as Provost and Sr. Vice President for the University of California, university-wide.
When he returned in 2004 to be Director of Berkeley's Center for Studies in Higher Education, he wrote a number of papers relating to university structure, function, and governance and then the book on the University of California.
Before that, the standard separation operations were considered to be separate topics within the category of unit operations, with separate methodologies.
After the book went out of print, King secured the copyright back from McGraw-Hill and put it on eScholarship, where it is available open-access.

Esther 4 is the fourth chapter of the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.
The author of the book is unknown and modern scholars have established that the final stage of the Hebrew text would have been formed by the second century BCE.
This chapter describes the reaction of the Jews to Haman's evil decree, focusing on Mordecai's action of mourning and fasting, which eventually forced Esther to take action on her own by risking her life to appear uninvited before King Ahasuerus.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes Codex Leningradensis (1008).
Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; formula_1; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: formula_1; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; formula_1; 5th century).
When they heard the threat of genocide, Mordecai and the Jews throughout the Persian empire showed religious response publicly, although without referring to God.
These stages represent a movement in Esther from ignorance to understanding to decision: Esther eventually took charge and Mordecai went to do 'everything that Esther had commanded him'.
The song was composed about eight months before it was released to the public, with a number of different variants, including a rap version, before the final version was settled on.
The song was created specifically for the TV series, and does not appear in the novels the series is based on.
Since Netflix releases its content with dubbing in a number of languages, the song has been officially translated and rendered in at least 12 other languages: Polish, Czech, Japanese, German, Russian, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hungarian, Spanish, Castilian Spanish, and Turkish.
The song lyrics are based on the events of the show's second episode, which is also the first meeting of the bard Jaskier (the in-universe author of the song) and Geralt of Rivia, the titular witcher and the show's main protagonist.
Some covers are unofficial translations into different languages, for example the rendering of the song in the Silesian dialect of Polish language has been gaining popularity among Polish Internet users.
The series premiered on December 20, 2019, however Netflix has been criticized for failing to release the song officially, with no official release outside of a SoundCloud release until January 22.

He then moved to the Department of Aeronautics at the Imperial College of Science [1947-1951], where he made an early impression: his Thwaites Flap being used to assist aeronautical tests.
In 1951 he returned to his old school, Winchester College, as an Assistant Master, teaching mathematics [1951-1959] and remained in secondary education for most of the 1950s.
Thwaites was also commissioned into the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve during this period, as a Pilot Officer in the Training Branch [RAFVR(T)] [1952-1958].
On taking up his new post, Prof. Thwaites hosted a conference addressing the disconnect between the teaching of mathematics and the need for professional mathematicians in industry and academia: the result was the School Mathematics Project (SMP).
teachers met with Thwaites to devise a new curriculum: Martyn Cundy (1913-2005) Sherborne School, Tom Jones Winchester College and Douglas Quadling (OBE) Marlborough College.
The representatives of Charterhouse, Marlborough, Sherborne and Winchester were then joined by Battersea Grammar School (A. J. Penfold), Exeter School (D. J.
Holding), Holloway School (D. E. Mansfield) and Winchester County High School for Girls (WCHS) (J. E. Harris) and these eight schools initiated the SMP.
Within a year the team had drawn up materials for the 'modern mathematics', ready for the new academic year in September 1962.
The SMP began as a research project but was then formalised as a charitable trust: Prof. Thwaites was the founding Director.
Taking another approach to further the development of mathematics, Thwaites co-founded, in 1964, the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), alongside Professor (Sir) James Lighthill; he became a Fellow (FIMA) of the institute.
In 1990, IMA received its Charter and was therefore able to award the title of Chartered Mathematician (CMath) to practising mathematicians, as part of the professionalisation of the occupation.
In 1965, Professor Thwaites was appointed Principal of Westfield College [1965-1984], a newly co-educational college of London University, based in Hampstead.
In 1969, Professor Thwaites was also appointed the Professor of Geometry [1969-1972] at Gresham College, a role that is largely an honorific.
Thwaites developed an interest in medical administration, accepting a number of appointments over the years: he was Chairman of the Northwick Park Hospital Management Committee and a member of the Council of the Middlesex Hospital Board.
Patrick Jenkin was registered as a lobbyist for Andersen, and had been the man who appointed Thwaites to the post, when Jenkin was Secretary of State.

The 2022 FIA World Rally Championship will be the fiftieth season of the World Rally Championship, an auto racing competition recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) as the highest class of international rallying.
Crews are free to compete in cars complying with World Rally Car and Group R regulations; however, only manufacturers competing with World Rally Cars homologated under regulations introduced in 2017 are eligible to score points in the Manufacturers' championship.
A significant change to the regulations is planned to be introduced in 2022 as the sport adopts the use of hybrid drivetrains for the first time.
This will take the form of an e-motor that produces and must be used to power the car when travelling around service parks and through built-up areas when driving between stages.
Drivers will be free to use the e-motor to offer additional power when competing in a stage, with the FIA dictating how much power can be used and how long a driver can deploy it for.
The hybrid system and the software governing its use will be standardised for three years as a way of keeping the costs of competing down.
This will coincide with the homologation requirements being re-written to allow teams to build prototype chassis based on production cars rather than having to adapt a chassis to fit a roadgoing model.

It is designed to both search for new light and weakly coupled elementary particles, and to study the interactions of high-energy neutrinos.
The experiment is located in the service tunnel TI12, which is 480 m downstream from the interaction point used by the ATLAS experiment.
This tunnel was formerly used to inject the beam from the SPS into the LEP accelerator, but does currently not host any LHC infrastructure.
In this location, the FASER experiment is placed into an intense and highly collimated beam of both neutrinos as well as possible new particles.
The primary goal of the FASER experiment is to search for new light and weakly interacting particles, that have not been discovered yet, such as dark photons, axion-like particles and sterile neutrinos.
Such particles will therefore be dominantly produced in the forward direction along the collision axis, forming a highly collimated beam, and can inherit a large fraction of the LHC proton beam energy.
Additionally, due to their small couplings to the standard model particles and large boosts, these particles are long-lived and can easily travel hundreds of meters without interacting before they decay to standard model particles.
The LHC is the highest energy particle collider built so far, and therefore also the source of the most energetic neutrinos created in a controlled laboratory environment.
Collisions at the LHC lead to a large flux of high-energy neutrinos of all flavours, which are highly collimated around the beam collision axis and stream through the FASER location.
It will record and study thousands of neutrino interactions, which allows to measure neutrino cross sections at TeV energies where they are currently unconstrained.
This is followed by a 1.5 meter long empty decay volume and a 2 meter long spectrometer, which are placed in a 0.55 T magnetic field.
The spectrometer consists of three tracking stations, composed of layers of precision silicon strip detectors, to detect charged particles produced in the decay of long-lived particles.
It was opened on 4 October 1987 as part of the inaugural section of Line 2 from La Paz to Las Adjuntas and Zoológico, on the branch leading to Las Adjuntas.

Fnality International is a Financial technology firm founded in 2019 by a consortium of International Banks and an Exchange to create a network of distributed Financial Market Infrastructures (dFMIs) using Blockchain to deliver the means of payment-on-chain for wholesale banking markets.
During conversations on market structure between Hyder Jaffrey from the UBS Innovation team and Robert Sams, CEO of UK-based Blockchain company Clearmatics, the discussion soon narrowed its focus to the need for an on-chain digital payment asset as an essential part of the infrastructure that will support tokenised markets.
In August 2016, BNY Mellon, Deutsche Bank, Santander, broker/dealer ICAP and the financial services firm NEX (since merged), Barclays, HSBC, State Street, Credit Suisse, MUFG and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce joined the USC project.
Fnality Global Payments will be made up of a series of Fnality Locals which will run a payment system in a particular currency; the Fnality Payments System.
In each currency the Fnality Payments System is an independent distributed Financial Market Infrastructure (dFMI) which will operate a private, permissioned chain to support the creation of USC, as an on-chain, digital payment instrument.
In respect of a Fnality Payment System, USC is the accounting unit used to digitally represent a Participant’s ownership over a claim, entitlement or interest in respect of funds held in the System Account (The central bank account of the Fnality Payment System).
The USC of each Fnality Payment System will be a settlement asset denominated in the fiat currency of the relevant jurisdiction or currency area.
As of December 2019, Fnality expects the first currency to be approved - followed by go-live with real business activity - in late 2020.

Robert Louis Freeman Sr. (April 27, 1934 – May 16, 2016) was an American politician who served as the 47th Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana from 1980 to 1988 under Governors Dave Treen and Edwin Edwards.
In the 1979 lieutenant gubernatorial election he was victorious while in the simultaneous gubernatorial election Democratic candidate Louis Lambert was narrowly defeated by Dave Treen.
During Treen's governorship the two feuded on multiple occasions with Freeman using his powers whenever Treen was out of state while Treen attacked the lieutenant governorship position as an unnecessary waste of public funds due to the position having no official duties.
In 1983 Treen vetoed a bill giving $381,000 in operating expenses to Freeman's office which forced him to fire 11 employees.
In the 1983 election he was backed by Edwin Edwards who was running for governor at the same time and in the initial election came in first against former Lieutenant Governor Jimmy Fitzmorris and in the runoff defeated him by 20%.

The worldview presupposes the idea that Greeks were somehow unique in world history and that Greek civilization essentially emerged from within itself.
Greece is where Europe should always return to because it is the 'hellenocentric world' that possesses 'the ideal’ and because, for Europe, both the temporal and spiritual journey begins there.
According to Nasos Vayenas, hellenocentrism can be understood as 'a conviction of the uniqueness of the Greek element and its superiority over everything foreign –a conviction that usually leads elevating Greekness to the level of an absolute value'.
He accuses Eurocentric historians of adopting a version of science that 'allows them to credit the Greeks with the invention of science and of 'the' scientific method'.
In Enrique Dussel's view, hellenocentrism asserts that Greece is where lies the cultural origin of the West and that Greek civilization 'owes nothing to the Egyptians and Semites', while, he argues, Greece was no more than a 'dependent' and 'peripheral Western part' of the Middle East.
Peter Green argues that it has 'distorted and diminished the achievements of any civilisation' that came in contact with the Greeks and, of course, young Macedonians.
Han Lamers argues that proponents of a hellenocentric worldview, like George Trapezuntius, tried to 'reduce all forms of progress and decline ultimately to Greek affairs'.
In the same way, Markus Winkler argues, racism and colonialism have their roots in Eurocentric worldview which essentially emerged from ancient hellenocentrism.
Kang Jung In and Eom Kwanyong also refer to hellenocentrism as the archetype of 'Westcentrism' which, they argue, has adopted the Greek civilization as its 'intellectual origin' and universalized it.
Similarly, Sabelo Ndlovu-Gatsheni argues that hellenocentrism paved the way for 'Westernization' as a 'process of imposing Euro-North American-centric values on other people' at the expense of their own values.

The Talangsari incident () was an incident that occurred in the village of Talangsari, Lampung, in 1989, where Islamist civilians were allegedly massacred by Indonesian Army troops.
Before long, tensions developed between the residents of the hamlet and the Islamists, resulting in some of the locals fleeing due to perceived threats.
The issue was brought up to higher local authorities, who after a meeting with the commune passed it on to the local military garrison commander, Captain Soetiman.
Following an initial arrest of several of the commune's members, Soetiman led a group of soldiers and officers to the commune on 6 February, where they were ambushed and Soetiman was killed.
Some members of the commune later attempted to disperse across Lampung, killing another soldier whom they met by chance in the process that day.
A military detachment consisting of three platoons from the Indonesian Army and a platoon of the Mobile Brigade Corps under then-colonel Hendropriyono was dispatched to the village.
According to Hendropriyono's accounts, yet another soldier and a civilian had been killed by the group, in addition to another soldier being seriously injured.
According to reports from the human rights organization KontraS, the soldiers - who were equipped with napalm bombs and helicopters - did not give any warnings before storming the village, and forced a young member of the commune to set fire to some of the huts with many still trapped inside.
Hendropriyono's account of the situation claimed that some members of the commune had deliberately set fire to the huts and prevented civilians from escaping.
A 2008 inquiry by the National Commission on Human Rights reported that 130 were killed, 50 were detained and tortured, and 77 were evicted.
Two days after the attacks, the dispersed commune members who received news of the incident stormed a military base, injuring several soldiers with six commune members killed.
She is the co-founder and CEO of Acronym, a political nonprofit organisation notable for its substantial digital advertising in the 2020 United States presidential election.
After covering the Barack Obama 2008 presidential campaign, she left journalism to become a press secretary to United States Senator Jack Reed.
In 2017, McGowan launched the political strategy firm Lockwood strategy, which Campaigns and Elections magazine identified as a crucial force in Democratic Party victories in the 2017 Virginia elections.
Within just over a year, Acronym had raised tens of millions of dollars for digital advertising campaigns, running more than 100 ad campaigns and registering 60,000 voters.
In November 2019, McGowan announced that Acronym would undertake a $75 million online advertising campaign, targeting four states which are expected to be swing states in the 2020 general election for US president.
Since the campaign of incumbent president Donald Trump was reported to have a significant advantage in digital advertising during the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries, this large expenditure by a Democratic-aligned organisation was considered by many political strategists and media commentators to be a crucial safeguard for the Democratic Party against the risk of being outspent in digital advertising before their presidential nominee could be chosen.
Because of the volume of money that it has raised, and because of its status as a 501(c)(4) political nonprofit organisation that is not required to disclose the donations it receives, Acronym has been widely described as a dark money group.
McGowan has received criticism from other digital advertising operatives over the lack of transparency in Acronym's funding structure, although she and some operatives have defended the 501(c)(4) funding structure as a useful innovation for progressive advertising groups to adopt.
Tara McGowan is also the host of the FWIW Podcast, a biweekly podcast about the digital race for the White House.

She was one of the leaders of the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition challenge and has been recognised by MIT Technology Review as one of the world's top young innovators.
When she finished her undergraduate degree she had dismissed computer science and felt disconnected from research and the only woman in her laboratory.
She worked on mechanisms to reduce the burden of image classification on human annotators, by asking fewer, and more generalised, questions about the images being inspected.
Together with Fei-Fei Li, Russakovsky developed ImageNet, a database of millions of images that is now widely used in computer vision.
Her research has considered the historical and societal bias within visual recognition and the development of computational solutions that promote algorithmic fairness.
Russakovsky has emphasised that whilst the workforces designing artificial intelligence systems are not diverse enough, only improving the diversity of computer scientists will not be sufficient for rectifying algorithmic bias.
The summer camp looks to keep bias out of artificial intelligence by educating people from diverse backgrounds about computer science, machine learning and policy.
One of the 2019 camp attendees from Bergen County Academy was so inspired by the event she founded an artificial intelligence program when she returned to high school.
The paper describes the creation of a publicly available dataset of millions of images of everyday objects and scenes, and its use in an annual competition between the visual recognition algorithms of participating institutions.
The paper discusses the challenges of creating such a large dataset, the developments in algorithmic object classification and detection that have resulted from the competition, and the current (at time of publication) state of the object recognition field.
According to Google Scholar, which includes citations of the pre-print of the article on arXiv, the article has been cited over 13,000 times in total.
Russakovsky is the author of more than 20 other academic articles, six of which have been cited more than 100 times each, according to Google Scholar.
Williams' was also becoming well known during this time for his intimate live performances, which featured his regular collaborators, Danny Flowers on Harmonica and Guitars, and David Williamson on Bass.

Although it was expected that most of the NFL players drafted would have no intention of signing with the new league, the WFL still wanted to have the prominent NFL players future rights assigned, preventing WFL teams from competing in the signing for the same players.
On March 19, 1974, the WFL had a second Pro Draft to select the rights to players cut by National Football League teams.
Each WFL team selected 2 NFL franchises to secure the rights to players not previously selected in the first day 40 rounds Pro Draft.

After receiving her library degree from Hampton Institute, Lyells returned to her alma mater Alcorn A&M College to work as the head librarian; her work in collection development served as a model for other black land grant colleges.
Two years later, she became head of the Jackson Public Library's College Park and Carver branches; Lyells was the first African American to manage libraries within the segregated system.
Lyells served a number of leadership roles in the state, including serving as president of the Mississippi State Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs and as the first African American executive director of the Mississippi State Council of Human Rights.
She was a trustee of the Prentiss Institute in Prentiss, Mississippi and the Ruby E. Stutts Lyells Library was dedicated in her name in May 1968.
She was a long-time supporter of the state and national Republican Party and she served on the Advisory Committee of the Co-chairman of the Republican National Convention in 1970.
Disney Voice Actors: A Biographical Dictionary is a biographical dictionary of voice actors for The Walt Disney Company, written by Thomas S. Hischak.
It consists of an ornate timber screen, perforated with an intricate network of holes, tightly fitted into a window or loggia projecting from the facade of the building, usually over the main door or to its side.
Muxrabijet and roundels (round motifs sculpted on building facades) are the only two features of vernacular Maltese architecture directly deriving from Arabic culture.
Muxrabijet had the task to keep the interior of the building cool by allowing circulation of air through the carved wood.
They were also used as cooling device for storing water, and as a security measure to observe the outside without being seen.
The muxrabija is considered the ancestor of the ornate Maltese balcony, the gallarija, which is of closer resemblance of today's mashrabiya in the Arabic world.

Once bound, the pair of molecules goes through a unique fluorogen activation mechanism based on two spectroscopic changes, increase of fluorescence quantum yield and absorption red shift, hence providing high labeling selectivity.
The FAST-fluorogen reporting system can be used in fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry and any other fluorometric method to explore the living world: biosensors, protein trafficking, high-content analysis, etc.
The para-hydroxycinnamic acid is close to 4-hydroxybenzylidene rhodanine (HBR) and its derivatives which are fluorogenic, that is, they are not fluorescent when in solution but can become so upon freedom degree freezing, for example by binding the protein pocket.
PYP has thus been modified by directed evolution in order to exacerbate its affinity for HBR analogues and to activate their fluorescence.
The FAST-fluorogen reporting system is used in fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry and any other fluorometric methods to explore the living world: biosensors, protein trafficking, high-content analysis, etc.
A number of fluorogens were developed for FAST and its derivates by The Twinkle Factory, varying by their emission wavelength, their brightness and their tag affinity.
The different areas of web design include web graphic design; interface design; authoring, including standardised code and proprietary software; user experience design; and search engine optimization.
Often many individuals will work in teams covering different aspects of the design process, although some designers will cover them all.
The term web design is normally used to describe the design process relating to the front-end (client side) design of a website including writing markup.
Web designers are expected to have an awareness of usability and if their role involves creating markup then they are also expected to be up to date with web accessibility guidelines.
Web development is the work involved in developing a web site for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network).
Web development can range from developing a simple single static page of plain text to complex web-based internet applications (web apps), electronic businesses, and social network services.
A more comprehensive list of tasks to which web development commonly refers, may include web engineering, web design, web content development, client liaison, client-side/server-side scripting, web server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development.
For larger organizations and businesses, web development teams can consist of hundreds of people (web developers) and follow standard methods like Agile methodologies while developing websites.
Smaller organizations may only require a single permanent or contracting developer, or secondary assignment to related job positions such as a graphic designer or information systems technician.
Front-end developers are responsible for behavior and visuals that run in the user browser, while back-end developers deal with the servers.
This chronological list of Belgian families is a non-exhaustive list of Belgian families with no social distinction whose proven ancestry is prior to the 19th century and have been the subject of a historical publication.
Since these are families that have had the leisure to undertake or the means to have research undertaken on their origins in the course of the twentieth century, this list often mentions lines that have become notable or have even been ennobled.
He was the eighth Erasmus Smith's Professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy at Trinity College Dublin (TCD), serving in that role from 1807 to 1822.
The gallarija is considered a descendant of the Maltese muxrabija, and it is closely related to the mashrabiya which are typical in Arabic architecture.
Yet, its use became widespread only in the 17th century, as not one of antique townscapes of Valletta and the harbour cities show any covered balcony.
The onset of the 20th century gave a new dimension to the Maltese balconies, which could now be designed in simpler Art Deco lines.

Two main theories have been put forward to explain this observation: one where the mantle including the lithosphere is cooling; the cooling mantle model, and a second where a lithosphere plate cools above a mantle at a constant temperature; the cooling plate model.
In addition, the cooling plate model explains the almost constant depth and heat flow observed in very old seafloor and lithosphere.
In practice it is convenient to use the solution for the cooling mantle model for an age-depth relationship younger than 20 million years.
The first theories for seafloor spreading in the early and mid twentieth century explained the elevations of the mid-ocean ridges as upwellings above convection currents in Earth's mantle.
This 'cooling plate model' was followed in 1974 by noting that elevations of ridges could be modeled by cooling of the whole upper mantle including any plate.
This was followed in 1977 by a more refined plate model which explained data that showed that both the ocean depths and ocean crust heat flow approached a constant value for very old seafloor.
The depth of the seafloor (or the height of a location on a mid-ocean ridge above a base-level) is closely correlated with its age (i.e.
The age-depth relation can be modeled by the cooling of a lithosphere plate or mantle half-space in areas without significant subduction.
The distinction between the two approaches is that the plate model requires the base of the lithosphere to maintain a constant temperature over time and the cooling is of the plate above this lower boundary.
The cooling mantle model, which was developed after the plate model, does not require that the lithosphere base is maintained at a constant and limiting temperature.
The result of the cooling mantle model is that seafloor depth is predicted to be proportional to the square root of its age.
In the cooling mantle half-space model developed in 1974, the seabed (top of crust) height is determined by the oceanic lithosphere and mantle temperature, due to thermal expansion.
The effective thermal expansion coefficient formula_18 is different from the usual thermal expansion coefficient formula_23 due to isostasic effect of the change in water column height above the lithosphere as it expands or contracts.
Rather than height of the ocean floor formula_27above a base or reference level formula_32, the depth of the seabed formula_33is of interest.
The depth predicted by the square root of seafloor age found by the 1974 cooling mantle derivation is too deep for seafloor older than 80 million years.
Derivation of the cooling plate model also starts with the heat flow equation in one dimension as does the cooling mantle model.
Parsons and Sclater concluded that some style of mantle convection must apply heat to the base of the plate everywhere to prevent cooling down below 125 km and lithosphere contraction (seafloor deepening) at older ages.
Morgan and Smith showed that the flattening of the older seafloor depth can be explained by flow in the asthenosphere below the lithosphere.
The usual method for estimating the age of the seafloor is from marine magnetic anomaly data and applying the Vine-Matthews-Morley hypothesis.
If the depth is known at a location where anomalies are not mapped or are absent, and seabed samples are not available, knowing the seabed depth can yield an age estimate using the age-depth relationships.
Along with this, if the seafloor spreading rate in an ocean basin increases, then the average depth in that ocean basin decreases and therefore its volume decreases (and vice-versa).
Two main drivers of sea level variation over geologic time are then changes in the volume of continental ice on the land, and the changes over time in ocean basin average depth (basin volume) depending on its average age.
Alexander Wienerberger (December 8, 1891, Vienna — January 5, 1955, Salzburg) was an Austrian chemical engineer who worked for 19 years at chemical enterprises of the USSR.
While he worked in Kharkov, he created a series of photographs of the Holodomor of 1932-1933, which are photographic evidence of the mass starvation of the Ukrainian people at that time.
Despite the fact that his father was Jewish and mother was Czech, Alexander himself, according to his daughter, considered himself an Austrian and an atheist.
During the First World War he was mobilized into the Austro-Hungarian Army, participated in battles against the Russian army and was captured in 1915.
In the fall of 1919, he attempted to escape from Soviet Russia to Austria through Estonia using fake documents, but failed: in Pskov he was arrested by Cheka.
During his stay in prison, his skills as a chemist were appreciated by the Soviet government, which employed foreign prisoners worked in production.
Wienerberger was appointed an engineer for the production of varnishes and paints, and later he worked in factories for the production of explosives.
In 1928, for the first time after imprisonment, Wienerberger visited his relatives in Vienna and made a new marriage with Lilly Zimmermann, the daughter of a manufacturer from Schwechat.
In 1932  he was sent to Lyubuchany (Moscow Oblast) to the position of a technical director of a plastic factory, and in 1933 transferred to an equal position in Kharkiv.
Living in Kharkov, the then capital of the Ukrainian SSR, Wienerberger witnessed a massive famine and photographed the scenes he saw on the streets of the city, despite the threat of arrest by the NKVD.
His photographs depict queues of hungry people at grocery stores, starving children, bodies of people who died of starvation in the streets of Kharkov, and mass graves of victims of starvation.
Austrian diplomats insisted on such a measure of caution, since there was a high probability of a search of personal belongings at the border, and eventual discovery of photographs could threaten his life.
Upon his return to Vienna, Wienerberger handed over the pictures to Cardinal Theodor Innitzer, who, together with the Secretary General of the International Committee of National Minorities Ewald Ammende, presented them to the League of Nations.
In 1939, Alexander Wienerberger published in Austria his own book of memoirs about life in the Soviet Union, in which two chapters are devoted to the Holodomor.
After the war, he managed to avoid the transfer to Soviet troops - he ended up in the American zone of occupation in Salzburg, where he died in 1955.
Currently, Wienerberger's photos have been republished in many other works, and are exhibited, in particular, in the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg.

Conversely, students who do not feel a strong sense of belonging within their school environment are frequently described as being alienated or disaffected.
There are a number of terms within educational research that are used interchangeably with school belonging, including school connectedness, school attachment, and school engagement.
School belonging is determined by a myriad of factors, including academic achievement and motivation, personal characteristics, social relationships, demographic characteristics, school climate, and participation in extracurricular activities.
Research indicates that school belonging has significant implications for students, as it has been consistently linked with academic outcomes, psychological adjustment, well-being, identity formation, and physical health—it is considered a fundamental aspect of students' development.
A sense of belonging to one's school is considered particularly important for adolescents because they are within a period of transition and identity formation, and research has found that school belonging significantly declines during this period.
The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) conducted an investigation of school belonging and disaffection in 2003 using data from 224,058 15-year-old students in 42 different countries.
1 in 5 students were also categorized as having low levels of school engagement, which refers to students' interest in and valuation of school, as well as their participation in school activities.
In one study involving students from Latin America, Asia, and Europe, researchers Cari Gillen-O'Neel and Andrew Fuligni found that in childhood, students generally report high levels of school belonging.
Similarly, a separate study found that students' school belonging decreased in the transition from middle to high school; these students also displayed an increase in depressive symptoms and a decline in social support, which could be considered either causes or consequences of the decline in school belonging.
For example, research has demonstrated that students' grade point averages (GPAs), a common measure of academic achievement, are positively associated with school belonging.
Carol Goodenow and Kathleen Grady, who produced the most commonly used definition of school belonging, found each of these sub-sects of academic motivation to be significant predictors of students' perceptions of school belonging.
More recent research has replicated these findings, suggesting that academic motivation plays an important role in developing feelings of school belonging.
In addition, students' perceived value of school influences their school belonging: when they perceive their assignments and education as instructive, meaningful, and valuable, they are more likely to report greater school belonging.
Personal characteristics refer to students' distinctive qualities, traits, personality, emotions, and attributes, and have been consistently identified as a substantial determinant of school belonging.
Positive personal characteristics such as self-esteem, self-efficacy, positive affect, and effective emotional regulation have been shown to help foster students' sense of school belonging.
A study by Xin Ma found that students' self-esteem had the greatest impact on school belonging compared to all other personal factors.
Conversely, negative personal characteristics like anxiety, depressive symptoms, heightened stress, negative affect, and mental illness can lower students' perceptions of school belonging.
Support, acceptance, and encouragement from these sources can help students develop the feeling that they connect and identify with their school.
This alters their perceptions of belonging at school because the school environment now seems unwelcome and distressing, making it harder to identify and connect with the school.
Relationships with one's parents can have significant implications for students' feelings of school belonging, given that parents typically provide students' first social relationships.
Such qualities within parent-child relationships have been shown to foster students' sense of school belonging by influencing their perceived connection with their school environment.
Several academic studies have identified teacher support as the strongest predictor of school belonging compared to support from peers or parents.
Teachers can help instill school belonging by developing a safe and healthy classroom climate, providing academic and social support, fostering respect amongst peers, and treating students fairly.
Teachers can also promote feelings of school belonging by being friendly, approachable, and making an effort to connect with their students.
Teaching practices that seem to promote students' school belonging include scaffolding learning, commending positive behaviors and performance, allowing students autonomy within the classroom, and using academic pressure, such as holding high expectations of students.
Several studies have found gender differences in perceptions of school belonging: some research indicates that females possess a higher sense of school belonging compared to males, while other studies have found the opposite effect and conclude that males have higher school belonging than females.
Similar to gender, some research on the effect of race and ethnicity on school belonging has found a significant relationship between the two, while other research contradicts these findings.
For example, one study found that Black students experience lower feelings of school belonging compared to white students, however, other research has found the opposite pattern or has found no significant influence of race on school belonging at all.
School climate broadly refers to the feelings associated with a school's environment and quality; it is considered to have physical (e.g.
School climate influences school belonging through its support (or lack thereof) of students' feelings of connection with and attachment to their school.
For example, researchers Casey Knifsend and Sandra Graham found that students who participated in two extracurricular activities reported greater feelings of school belonging compared to those students who participated in fewer than two.
Research has shown that when students feel a greater sense of school belonging, their mental health and well-being is improved: they exhibit greater levels of emotional stability, lower levels of depression, reduced stress, and an increase in positive emotions, such as happiness and pride.
Students who possess school belonging experience more positive life transitions as well, which can have important implications for psychological health and adjustment.
On the other hand, students who do not have a strong sense of school belonging are at risk for a number of disadvantageous psychological and mental health outcomes.
Students who lack a sense of belonging at school are at significantly greater risk for exhibiting anxiety, depression, negative affect, suicidal ideation, and overall developing mental illness.
Strong feelings of school belonging have also been shown to improve overall academic performance and achievement, as shown by increases in grade point averages.
A sense of belonging at school can also improve academic self-efficacy, or in other words, students' belief in their ability to succeed in school.
Conversely, students who lack a sense of school belonging are at greater risk for disengagement from school and potentially dropping out.
In addition, perceptions of school belonging have a significant inverse relationship with risk-taking behaviors, including substance and tobacco use and early sexualization.
The most commonly used measure of school belonging is the Psychological Sense of School Membership (PSSM) scale, which was developed by Carol Goodenow in 1993.
This scale measures students' feelings of belonging and membership within a school setting by having students respond to 18 items regarding their personal feelings and experiences within school.
The items are intended to measure students' perceptions of acceptance, academic and social support, value, and contentment within their social relationships at school.
Research has found the PSSM to have high validity and reliability, attesting to its status as a valuable and functional measure of school belonging.
The Hemingway Measure of Adolescent Connectedness (HMAC) was constructed by Michael Karcher in 1999 and has been used in research as a measure of school belonging for adolescents specifically.
Max Parker, Steven Lee, and Jill Lohmeier created the School Connectedness Scale (SCS) in 2008 to assess students' peer, adult, and school relationships within three distinct categories: general support (belongingness), specific support (relatedness), and engagement (connectedness).
The School Engagement Instrument (SEI) was designed by James Appleton, Sandra Christenson, Dongjin Kim, and Amy Reschly in 2006 and is commonly used to gauge perceptions of school belonging.
In 2003, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) held an international convention to develop tactics for bolstering students' perceptions of school belonging.
The CDC later advanced the work of the Wingspread Declaration in 2009 by conducting a comprehensive, systematic review of school belonging and connectedness using sources from expert researchers, the government, educators, and more.

The user puts a pouch between the upper lip and gum, and leaves it there while the nicotine and taste is being released.
The small pouches are used like chewing tobacco, but the user does not need to spit, as the contents of the pouches stay inside the pouches during use.
No studies are available to determine if smokers would switch to nicotine pouches or if they would continue to smoke and use nicotine pouches, resulting in dual use.
Nicotine pouches may entice youth as well as young adult never-smokers because they are available in an array of fruit flavors and may be used unobtrusively, but may also aid smoking cessation.
Although nicotine pouches have the possibility of being a reduced risk product, there is no independent testing of their constituents, exposure or biomarkers of effects.
Organizations in Kenya are concerned that the nicotine pouches may raise the risk of cancer, heart disease, and reproductive or developmental harms.
The Nordic Spirit pouches contain plant-based fibers, nicotine, additives, and flavorings and are intended to be put beneath the upper or lower lip and are absorbed through the gums.
The nicotine content for Velo is 2 and 4 mg. Velo states that the contents in their products consist of nicotine obtained from the tobacco plant, microcrystalline cellulose, water, salt, sucralose, citric acid, and artificial flavor.
Zyn states that the contents in their products consist of pharmaceutical-grade nicotine salt, hydroxypropyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, maltitol, gum arabic, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, acesulfame K, and food-grade flavorings.
Tobacco-free nicotine pouches were for sale in Norway from 2014 to 2018, under the name Epok, identical to the Swedish Lyft apart from the name.
The Norwegian Directorate of Health argued that since Epok didn't contain any tobacco it were a new form of nicotine product, distinct from the other forms of snus approved in Norway.
New forms of nicotine products are extremely unlikely to get approved, the nicotine pouch brand ZYN had already been rejected approval twice for an extremely similar product.
Within days of the ban Epok was re-introduced to the Norwegian market, with a minute amount of bleached tobacco added, to qualify as an already approved form of nicotine product.
The 1926 Howard Bison football team was an American football team that represented Howard University during the 1926 college football season.
In their second year under head coach Louis L. Watson, the Bison compiled a 7–0 record, shut out six of seven opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 199 to 6.
The quay is served by station Tuileries of Métro Line 1, as well as by RATP Bus Lines 24 and 72 and Noctilien Lines 11 and 24.
Its name referring to Martinican poet, author and politician Aimé Césaire was chosen by the Paris Municipal Council in March 2013.
In most of the seasons, the downloadable content has introduced a new map or a rework of an existing one and at least two new operators to play as.
There are currently 20 maps to play on between three game modes and 52 operators to choose from between attacking and defending.
Frost is a defending operator who can use a device similar to a bear trap to incapacitate enemies; while Buck, the attacking operator, has an under-barrel M26 shotgun.
Blackbeard, the attacking operator, has face shields that can be mounted onto his rifle; while Valkyrie, the defending operator, has three omnidirectional cameras that can be thrown onto any surface.
Capitão, an attacking operator, has a tactical crossbow which can be loaded with asphyxiating bolts, that will burn oxygen within a certain radius, or smoke grenade bolts that create a thick cloud of smoke.
The defending operator, Caveira, has an ability called Silent Step, allowing her to make less noise when moving as well as interrogate an immobilized enemy for the location of other enemies.
As an attacking operator, Hibana possesses a weapon that launches up to three sets of six explosives that attach to and break reinforced walls.
Jackal is a tracker on the attacking team who can reveal the location of enemies by tracking their footprints, while Mira is a defender who can create one-way bulletproof windows on walls which can be ejected, leaving a space for operators to fire through.
The operation was an update that fine-tuned many of the game's aspects, including fixes to hit boxes, spawn killing and audio issues.
The operation introduced a new map set in Hong Kong, two SDU operators named Ying and Lesion, and one Polish GROM operator named Ela.
Ying, an attacking operator, utilizes candela cluster charges that can be thrown or attached to a surface to stun enemies, similar to a stun grenade.
The operation introduced a new map set in South Korea, two South Korean operators from the 707th Special Mission Battalion named Dokkaebi and Vigil, and one Polish GROM operator named Zofia.
As an attacking operator, Lion uses a UAV to temporarily expose moving enemies via sonar; Finka is also an attacking operator and uses nanomachines to temporarily increase the health and accuracy of herself and her teammates, as well as reviving any downed teammates.
This also increases their heart and breathing rate, thus weakening them by increasing the damage taken by Smoke's toxic gas canisters, increasing the range Pulse's heartbeat scanner can detect them, and hindering their ability to listen for footsteps.
Alibi is a defending operator who can project inanimate holograms of herself, which expose the location of any enemy that interacts with the hologram with their weapons, body, or drone.
Also a defender, Maestro can install a wall-mounted directed-energy turret that he can then operate remotely, damaging enemies with rapid laser fire.
On attacking is Maverick, a US Delta Force operator who uses a small handheld blowtorch that can create small holes in reinforced walls, opening new lines of sight.
Her shield is similar to Montagne's, with the addition of a device called the Crowd Control Electro Shield, or CCE, which emits an electric field that slows and damages attackers.
On the attacking side, Nomad possesses a weapon attachment called an AirJab launcher, which launches proximity-triggered air-blast grenades that can stick to surfaces and throw opposing operators to the ground.
The operation introduced a new map set in the Outback of Australia, along with two operators from SASR, Mozzie and Gridlock.
Instead of giving an outline of the body of a detected enemy operator, Lion and his teammates instead gives a ping of their location.
Nøkk is an attacking operator from the Danish Jaeger Corps who uses her HEL Presence Reduction Device to muffle her footsteps and wipe her images from cameras.
Warden is a defending operator from the United States Secret Service who comes equipped with a pair of Glance Smart Glasses, which eliminate the effects of flashbangs and allow him to see through smoke.
A member of the Peruvian APCA, Amaru is an attacking operator who uses the Garra Hook to grapple or hoist herself onto or through ledges, windows, or open hatches.
On the defending team, Goyo is a member of the Mexican Fuerzas Especiales who possesses Volcán Shields that are similar to deployable shields, but are armed with incendiary bombs on the rear end, which can be detonated by gunfire.
The operation introduces a rework of Theme Park and two new operators from a private military company called the Nighthaven Special Intervention Group.
From India is Kali, an attacking operator armed with a CSRX 300 bolt-action sniper rifle that can toggle between 5× to 12× magnification.
Her weapon also comes with an underbarrel attachment called the LV Explosive Lance, which can be used to destroy defenders' gadgets that are within its radius of effect.
Meanwhile on the defending team, Wamai is a Kenyan operator who uses the Mag-NET System that captures the projectiles of attacking operators thrown or launched within its radius and then releases them after a short time for them to finally take effect.
With this season, the game introduces a limb penetration system in which some weapon types will be able to hit more than one target at once.
Among other changes, there are now four different colors of footprints that show how old they are and how many times an enemy operator will be pinged depending on the color.
A change was also made to Smoke's gas grenades in that they will not be able to spread through solid walls and are unable to obstruct vision.
The 1925 Howard Bison football team was an American football team that represented Howard University during the 1925 college football season.
In their second year under head coach Louis L. Watson, the Bison compiled a 6–0–2 record, did not allow a point to be scored by opponents, outscored opponents by a total of 140 to 0, and were recognized as the black college national champion.
Roman Vondráček (born September 26, 1984) is a Czech professional ice hockey forward currently playing for Rapaces de Gap of the Ligue Magnus.
On May 10, 2015, he joined Brest Albatros Hockey where he played for one season before moving to Aigles de Nice on June 17, 2016.
The nearest settlements to Braguny are Staro-Scherdinskaya in the north, Khangish-Yurt in the east, Solsabekan-Kotar in the south-east, the city of Gudermes in the south, and Darbankhi in the south-west.
According to one version, the area was settled by immigrants from the Crimea, and by pre-Polovtsian Turks displaced on the right bank of the Terek River from the Boragan-Madzhara region.
A letter from the Terek governor in Moscow in 1621 indicates that the Kumyk ruler Soltan-Magmut (Soltan-Mahmud, Soltan-Mut) arrived with 8 princes, including the Bragunsky Kudeney-Murza, Batay-Murza Shikhmurzin and 38 of his bridles.
The authors of the early XIX century also express the idea of the prevailing influence of the Kumyk princes on the Baragun land.
Johann Peter Falk, describing his journey to the Caucasus in 1773, described the population and wealth of the Braguny possessions, then already subject to Russia.
According to the legend of the Bragunians themselves, the village was founded by the leader of the nomadic tribe Borahan, when, when crossing in the caravan over the Sunzha River, a huge sturgeon squeezed into the spokes of the arba.
A letter from the Terek governor to Moscow in 1621 indicates the arrival of the embassy of the Kumyk ruler Soltan-Magmut (Soltan-Mahmud, Soltan-Mut) with the Mychkiz and Okotsk societies, with 8 princes, including the Baragun Kuden-Murza, Batay-Murza Shikhmurzin 38 of his bridles.
Established in 1877 in memory of Queen Stephanie of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, this was the first Portuguese hospital specifically dedicated to the healthcare of children, and it remains a national reference in pediatric specialties, both medical and surgical.
The Queen's own premature death of diphtheria in 1859 did not allow her to see her project to completion: her widowed husband King Peter V ordered the construction of the new hospital in a plot of land originally belonging to the extensive grounds of Bemposta Palace.
The king passed away childless one year later, and the Bemposta Hospital (as it was originally called) was unveiled by Stephanie's brother-in-law King Luís I, on 17 July 1877, the anniversary of the Queen's death, having previously ceded ownership of the hospital to the public.
The construction of the hospital was carefully planned by a commission presided by the King, and comprising , Francisco António Barral, the Baron of Kessler, Dr. Simas, the Count of Ponte, and General (Director-General of Geodesic and Cartographic Works).
After several contacts with foreign specialists in London, Berlin, and Paris, the chosen project was that of British architect Albert Jenkins Humbert, on the recommendation of Prince Albert.
When it was built, Queen Stephanie's Hospital was considered a model children's hospital, encompassing all the modern improvements in hospital construction of the day.
Queen Stephanie's Hospital is also notable for having been the place where Saint Jacinta Marto was hospitalised, and in due course died, in 1920 after having succumbed to the great influenza pandemic that swept through Europe following the end of the First World War.
On 10 February, the chief surgeon, Dr. Leonardo de Sousa Castro Freire, assisted by Dr. Elvas removed two ribs only under local anesthetic, since, because of the condition of her heart, she could not be fully anesthetised: she suffered terrible pain, which she said would help to convert many sinners.
The Echoing Green: The Untold Story of Bobby Thomson, Ralph Branca and the Shot Heard Round the World is a nonfiction book written by Joshua Prager and originally published by Pantheon Books in 2006.
The book centers on the 1951 Giant's scheme to read opposing catchers' finger signals relayed from catcher to pitcher with a telescope in the center-field clubhouse during the latter part of the 1951 MLB season.
This led to baseball's famous Shot Heard 'Round the World, when Bobby Thomson hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning against Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Ralph Branca, resulting in winning the three game playoff series and the National League (NL) pennant, with a 5-4 win over the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The 1951 National League tie-breaker series was a best-of-three playoff series at the conclusion of Major League Baseball's (MLB) 1951 regular season to decide the winner of the National League (NL) pennant.
The Brooklyn Dodgers rebounded to win the National League pennant in 1952, but lost the 1952 World Series to the Yankees four games to three.
Thomson's dramatic three-run homer came in the ninth inning of the decisive third game of a three-game playoff for the pennant in which the Giants trailed, 4–1.
It is a Pong clone console and the successor to the Interton Video 3000 and the predecessor of the Interton Video Computer 4000.
Robert O. Bisson (8 April 1905 – 8 December 1984) was a Brigadier General in the United States Marine Corps who served in both World War II and the Korean War.
A naval aviator and communications engineer, he was at the forefront of the Marine Corps' use of radar for early warning and fighter direction.
In 1943, as a member of VMF(N)-531, he supervised the installation and operation of the Marine Corps' first Ground-controlled interception (GCI) equipment utilized in a combat zone.
After the war he commanded Marine Air Control Group 1 and Marine Aircraft Group 13 and also served with the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing during the Korean War.
He graduated from high school in 1927 and attended the University of Illinois ffor one year prior to entering the United States Naval Academy in 1928.
He graduated on 6 June 1932 and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps that same day.
His first assignment with the Fleet Marine Force began in October 1934 when he was assigned to 1st Battalion, 6th Marines at the Marine Corps Base in San Diego, California.
Additional schooling was received at the Electronics Specialist Course given at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from August 1942 until February 1943.
Additional schooling was received at the Electronics Specialist Course given at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from August 1942 until February 1943.
Once his schooling was complete he joined the newly formed ]]From February - August 1942 he attended the United States Army's Signal Corps School at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey.
Additional schooling was received at the Electronics Specialist Course given at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from August 1942 until February 1943.
Upon graduation he joined the newly formed Marine Night Fighter Squadron 531 (VMF(N)-531) at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina as the officer in charge of their Ground Controlled Intercept detachment.
In March 1943, Bisson and 4 enlisted men were sent on temporary duty to General Electric in Syracuse, New York to receive instruction on the SCR-527 early warning radar.
At the end of May they set up their GCI equipment near Marine Corps Air Station El Centro, California in order for the squadron to train a bit more prior to deployment.
The GCI equipment was initially sited at Liapari Point on 18 October however on 25 October it was moved to Pakoi Bay because of operational necessity.
From this position they were able to provide early warning and fighter direction coverage for the Navy task forces that were sailing towards Bougainville and Choiseul Island.
During this deployment Bisson and his men established radar sites near the coast because the dense foliage of the jungle and uneven terrain were less than ideal for radar operations.
In 8 February 1944 he took command of Marine Air Warning Group 2 (MAWG-2) at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California.
On 1 February he took command of Marine Aircraft Group 43 (MAG-43) at Marine Corps Air Station Ewa, Hawaii as they were in the final stages of preparation for the assault on Okinawa.
For the upcoming battle, the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (2d MAW) had been identified as the headquarters for the Tactical Air Force (TAF) overseeing all land-based aircraft during the battle.
Bisson's MAG-43 was subordinate to 2d MAW's headquarters and was the administrative headquarters for all members of the TAF's Air Defense Command (ADC) which had BGen William J. Wallace in command.
The headquarters was established about a half a mile southeast of Yontan Airfield in what is today the village of Yomitan.
On 25 September 1945 LtCol Bisson took command of Marine Air Control Group 1 at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina.
On 20 August 1948 he checked into the Armed Forces Staff College at Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads in Norfolk, Virginia.
Upon graduation he was assigned as the Assistant Chief of Staff, G-1 for Marine Air Reserve Training Command out of Naval Air Station Glenview, Illinois.
In 1955, after graduating from the United States Army War College he was assigned back to NAS Glenview as the Chief of Staff of the Marine Air Reserve Training Command.
In July 1957 he began his final assignment in the Marine Corps as the Commanding Officer of Marine Corps Air Station Miami, Florida.
The 1955 Grambling Tigers football team represented Grambling State University as a member of the Midwestern Conference (MWC) during the 1955 college football season.
In their 13th season under head coach Eddie Robinson, the Tigers compiled a perfect 10–0 record, won the MWC championship, upset Florida A&M in the Orange Blossom Classic, and outscored opponents by a total of 330 to 54.
He also led the club to their first two Ligue 1 titles in 1956–57, their first Trophée des Champions in 1957 and 1962, Ligue 2 in 1962–63, and their first Coupe de France in 1962.
Domingo made one appearance for the France national football team in a friendly 4-0 loss to England on 27 November 1957.
It is situated north of the Canada–United States border, northwest of Slesse Mountain, and northwest of Crossover Peak, which is its nearest higher peak.
The mountain was named to honor Royal Canadian Air Force First Lieutenant Ronald E. MacFarlane, from nearby Chilliwack, who was killed in action on December 16, 1943, at age 21.
Mount MacFarlane is related to the Chilliwack batholith, which intruded the region 26 to 29 million years ago after the major orogenic episodes in the region.
This is part of the Pemberton Volcanic Belt, an eroded volcanic belt that formed as a result of subduction of the Farallon Plate starting 29 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount MacFarlane is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Range where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.
When it arrives in a new territory, it leaves these old enemies behind, while those in its introduced range are less effective at constraining them.
Ecologists have identified many potential reasons for the success of invasive species, including higher growth rates or seed production than native species, more aggressive dispersal, tolerance of environmental heterogeneity, more efficient use of resources, and phenological advantages such as an earlier or longer flowering season.
Invasive species may have greater phenotypic plasticity in important traits than their native competitors, allowing them to tolerate more environmental variation, or exhibit the ability to evolve rapidly to adapt to their new conditions.
Most exotic species do not become invasive, and some authors suggest that those that do represent repeated and larger introductions that generate propagule pressure.
The enemy release hypothesis (ERH) is most often applied to invasive plants, but there is evidence for its usefulness in other systems, including fish, amphibians, insects, and crustaceans.
The ERH assumes that: (1) herbivores, pathogens and parasites suppress plant population growth, (2) these enemies plague native plants more than immigrating non-native species, and (3) non-native plants are able to leverage this advantage into more rapid population growth.
A study of almost 500 exotic plant species in the United States found that they were infected by 84% fewer fungi and 24% fewer virus species than in their native ranges.
And a meta-analysis covering 15 exotic plant studies found the number of insect herbivores on average to be greater in their native than in their introduced range, with overall damage greater on native plants than on the introduced species.
In some cases, native pathogens, parasites and herbivores present significant biotic resistance to potential invasive species, as do non-native enemies that may have arrived prior to the exotic plant.
Enemy release may be weaker, too, when an exotic species is more closely related to native species in their introduced ranges, making them more likely to share herbivores or pathogens.
In a meta-analysis of 19 research studies involving 72 pairs of native and invasive plants, invasive exotic species did not incur less damage than their native counterparts and, in fact, exhibited lower relative growth rates.
The ERH is closely related to two other important theories for invasive species success: the evolution of increased competitive ability (EICA) and novel weapons hypotheses.
EICA asserts that because exotic plants are released from the burden of defending themselves against herbivores in their native range, they evolve to reallocate those resources to traits, such as growth and seed production, that make them more formidable competitors in their introduced range.
However, a meta-analysis of 30 studies that found evidence of evolutionary shifts in introduced species, showed no indication of a trade-off between herbivore defenses and growth.
In their introduced range, the native species are highly vulnerable to these chemicals because they have no prior experience with them, giving the exotic species a competitive advantage.
A final argument for the ERH lies in the success of biological control of some invasive species, in which herbivores or other enemies from their native environment are introduced to suppress population growth in their adopted range.
Greg Lopez (born June 7, 1964) is an American politician who served as the mayor of Parker, Colorado from 1992 to 1996 and ran in the Republican primary for governor of Colorado in 2018.
In 1969 Lopez's family moved to Dallas, Texas for public education where he graduated from Nimitz High School in 1982 and in 1988 Lopez moved to Colorado with his wife after being honorably discharged from the air force.
In 1992 Lopez became the youngest mayor in Colorado when he won the mayoralty of Parker, Colorado at age 27 as a member of the Democratic Party, but in 1994 he switched his political affiliation to Republican.
In the 1990s there were incidents of domestic abuse between him and his wife Lisa and were each plead guilty to a single charge of harassment against one another which given a deferred judgment with them having to go through marriage counseling.
In 2016 he announced his intention to seek the Republican nomination for Colorado's 2016 Senate election, but later dropped out before the primaries.
In 2017 Lopez announced his intention to run for the governorship of Colorado and qualified for the Republican primary ballot as he received over 30% of the assembly caucus vote, making him come ahead of more notable candidates like state Attorney General Cynthia Coffman, and later came in third place with 13% of the vote in the Republican primary.
Odysseus: Szenen aus der Odyssee für Chor, Solostimmen und Orchester (Odysseus: Scenes from the Odyssey for Choir, Solo Voices and Orchestra) is a secular oratorio (opus 41) composed by Max Bruch and first performed in 1873.
The musical image of the entire work, its form, appeared clearly before my mind’s eye before I had written a single note.” He entrusted the work of transforming this detailed outline into a complete work to the librettist Wilhelm Paul Graff.
When the work was published, it came out with French and English translations (by Natalia Macfarren) as well as the original German.
In contrast to the nationalist mysticism of Wagner, the classical world embodied the hopes of German liberals that the new Reich would become an enlightened, new-classical civilisation.
Bruch was careful to ensure that his work remained a dramatic piece of choral music and did not venture into the realm of the operatic.
A traditional religious oratorio had contrasting episodes of recitative and arias but Bruch created a single flowing narrative that did not adhere to this clear distinction.
One reason for its eventual decline into obscurity may be that for such a heroic and moving subject, the work seems undramatic, sometimes laboured in its setting of the text, and disjointed in its episodes; there is no narrator to link the 12 self-contained sections.
After Bruch directed its première in Barmen on 8 February 1873, the work was staged with great success and inspired the creation of many other secular oratorios.
Brahms admired it greatly and chose to conduct it himself in 1875 in the last concert he conducted at the Vienna Philharmonic.
A performance in Liverpool in 1877 was to lead to Bruch's appointment as principal conductor of the Liverpool Philharmonic Society in 1880.
By the end of 1875 it had received at least forty-two performances, and in 1893, when Bruch was made an honorary doctor by Cambridge University, the concert celebrating him opened with an excerpt from it.
Internationally, the rise of modernism in music made Bruch's romantic style seem outdated and in Germany itself, tastes in the Weimar Republic no longer included works associated with the imperialist ambitions of the kaisers.
Choral singing was a very common hobby for educated people in Germany and other countries, but declined rapidly in the early twentieth century, and the music it depended on came to be seen as sentimental.
Ashley Chin also plays a lead role in the film and also stars Dorcas Shola-Fapson, Rashid Kasirye with Giggs making a cameo in the film.
The second part of the series touches on the topics of gun culture, suicide, and abortion, outlining serious issues that affect the community living their daily lives in the streets.
Following Isaac is released from prison after taking the fall for Marcus for a gun charge, the film depicts him trying to get his life back together and rebuild relationships with his family including his mother and brother, all while trying to resist the temptations of his previous gang life, and keeping his younger brother from repeating the same mistakes he did to wound up in prison.
In November 2019, Wang sought political asylum in Australia, claiming to be a spy who was involved in the People's Republic of China's intervention in the affairs of Hong Kong SAR and Taiwan (ROC).
Online court records appear to confirm he had received a suspended sentence of 18 months from a Fujian court in October 2016.
Wang has denied these allegations and stated that he had obtained a police check which was clear of any such convictions when he applied for his Australian visa.
Wang claims that he was involved in the PRC government's operation to support pro-Beijing media outlets in Taiwan and candidates in the 2018 Taiwanese local elections, with the ultimate goal to prevent incumbent ROC President Tsai Ing-wen's re-election in 2020.
Wang also claimed to be involved in the abductions of the Causeway Bay Books booksellers in Hong Kong, although Lam Wing-kee, one of the abductees, does not recall meeting him and has reservations about his claims.
Sky News host Sharri Markson reported in the Daily Telegraph that Wang may have only been engaged in low-level work for the Chinese.
James Laurenceson, acting director of the Australia-China Relations Institute at the University of Technology Sydney criticised the Australian media for pushing the Wang story too hastily without having it verified first .
The Jing'an Branch of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau issued an official statement that Wang was a fugitive in a fraud case and that both his Chinese passport and Hong Kong permanent resident identity card were forged.
Wang claimed that he worked with the Hong Kong-based company China Innovation Investment Limited to infiltrate Hong Kong universities and media with pro-Communist Party of China operatives.
On 26 November, Taiwanese authorities detained and questioned Chinese businessman Xiang Xin and his wife Qing Gong, executives of China Innovation whom Wang identified as Chinese intelligence operatives.
Han Kuo-yu, the Kuomintang presidential candidate, rejected the claim and said if he had taken even a single dollar (from the Chinese government) for the election campaign, he would withdraw from the election immediately.
He later emigrated to France and Germany, where he worked for Joseph N. Ermolieff's Films Albatros and collaborated often with other Russian exiles.
Chris Billam-Smith (born 2 August 1990) is a British professional boxer who has held the Commonwealth cruiserweight title since November 2019.
During a career in which he compiled a record of 32–11 while representing Poole ABC, he fought in several ABA Championships, reaching the finals in 2013 and 2016; losing out to Jack Massey at 86kg and Chevon Clarke at 91kg respectively.
Smith made his professional debut on 16 September 2017 under the tutelage of Shane McGuigan, scoring a first-round technical knockout (TKO) victory over Russ Henshaw at the O2 Academy in Bournemouth, Dorset.
After compiling a record of 9–0 (8 KO), he faced fellow undefeated British prospect Richard Riakporhe (9–0 8 (KO)) for the WBA Inter-Continental cruiserweight title (9–0 8 KO) on 20 July 2019 at the O2 Arena in London.
The fight was televised live on Sky Sports Box Office as part of the undercard of Dillian Whyte vs. Oscar Rivas.
Two judges scored the bout in favour of Riakporhe with 97–92 and 95–94, while the third scored it 96–93 to Smith.
On 23 November 2019, he fought Craig Glover at the M&S Bank Arena (formerly Echo Arena), Liverpool, with the vacant Commonwealth cruiserweight title on the line.
The fight was televised live on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom and streamed live on DAZN in the United States as part of the undercard for Callum Smith's world title defence against John Ryder.
The first-round saw both fighters engage at close-quarters, with Glover suffering a cut above his left eye in the first minute of the bout from an accidental clash of heads.
In the final 10 seconds of the round, Smith hurt Glover with a straight right hand and followed up with a four punch combination culminating with a left hook which dropped Glover to the canvas seconds before the bell sounding.
Less than a minute into the fifth, Smith began to land a variety of heavy punches to the head of Glover, scoring a second knockdown with a powerful left hook to the jaw.
Glover was able to get to his feet before the referee's count of ten, only to be met by more heavy shots from Smith, who landed two straight right hands to the side of Glover's head, causing referee Mark Lyson to wave off the contest as Glover was knocked down for a third time.
Jeanne Lafortune is a Canadian economist who currently works as an Associate Professor in Economics and Director of research at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile.
She is also a researcher at the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL LAC), which is a global research center that aims to reduce poverty and improve life quality of people in the Caribbean and Latin America.
Lafortune holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, Massachusetts and her research interests focus on four main fields, including issues related to immigration, as well as economic history, family, labor and development economics.
She also served for the Government of Canada as an economist at the Economic Studies and Policy Analysis Division of the Department of Finance from 2003 to 2004.
In this research paper, Lafortune collaborates with Francisco Gallego to analyze the impact economic booms have on fertility rates in small, emerging, open economies.
Drawing from previous works on the topic, Lafortune re-evaluates empirical data that suggests a positive relationship between economic prosperity and birth rates, births and worse health outcomes of infants, and their relationship to family formation variance.
The authors found that the birth rate increases during economically prosperous periods, but this is due to the expansion of families formed before the boom rather than the creation of new families during these periods.
Additionally, the opportunity costs are different among women starting a family and women having more children, a present gap in previous literature.
The study focuses on the influence caste systems have on marriage decisions among men and women in India, over economic differentials.
However, data suggest that this value might change in the future as more people marry outside their caste (a trade-off between caste and higher economic status, education, and/or beauty).
The authors conclude that caste preference has not been undermined by economic forces, but the changing trends on these preferences should be analyzed further.
Lafortune started as an Assistant Profesor at the University of Maryland College of Behavioral and Social Sciences in the U.S. from 2008 to 2012.
She worked in the Department of Economics at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (UC) as an Assistant Professor from 2010 to 2015, where she later became Associate Professor in 2015.
The caucus selected 6 of the 9 delegates to attend the RNC along with six alternatives, all of whom were previously designated by a caucus subcommittee.
Bo Palacios, National Committeeman, Vicky Villagomez, the National Committeewoman, and James Ada, the Chairman of the CNMI Republican Party comprised the other three delegates, all of whom were expected to vote for the winning candidate alongside the 6 chosen delegates.
These delegates received an at-large designation and were bound for the first ballot at the RNC but free to vote individually in any successive ballots.
In the chance that the chosen candidate withdrew prior to the RNC, the delegates decided which candidate to support as a group.
Polling sites were spread between the islands of Saipan, Tinian, and Rota and the meetings were conducted between 6:30 and 8 p.m. on the evening of March 15.
Participation in the caucus was limited to official CNMI Republican Party members with a valid photo ID or voter registration card.
Three candidates, Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, and Donald Trump sent representatives to present their respective platform, marking the second commonwealth Republican caucus in history to receive candidate representatives.
The results of the voting period were decisive, handing Donald Trump 72.82% of the vote at 343 votes and transferring all 9 delegates to his cause at the Republican National Convention.
Rounding out the voting totals was Ted Cruz at 23.99%, or 113 votes, John Kasich with 10 votes, and Marco Rubio with 5 votes out of the 471 votes cast.
Mike Mass (born October 29, 1951) is an American politician who served in the Oklahoma House of Representatives from the 17th district from 1990 to 2002 and from 2003 to 2006.
Nilton Varela Lopes (born 25 May 2001) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a defender for Belenenses SAD in the Primeira Liga.
He made his professional debut with Belenenses SAD in a 2–0 Primeira Liga loss away to Sporting on 10 November 2019.

The Fountain of the Pear Tree Canals (') is an ancient fountain discovered buried under the Plaza de Isabel II in Madrid, Spain, in 2009.
The fountain was documented variously in the 15th century as Hontanillas or Fontanillas and is thought to have been one of the first Turkish baths in Madrid.
The discovered part was built in the 17th century and was originally in length, occupying a small valley at the end of Arenal Street.
It was buried deep, along with the spring's source, and was paved over to prepare for the building of the Teatro Real, the Plaza de Oriente, and the .
Work began on reconditioning the Ópera Metro station that served the Teatro Real and the two plazas in 2009, which caused the fountain to be rediscovered.
Once the restorative work was completed in 2011 the upgraded station, now including an archeological museum, was opened to the public.
The museum showcases the fountain of the canals along with other relics found at the site, such as original parts of the Arenal Sewer, and the royal Amaniel Aqueduct.
The museum, accessed from the lobby of the Ópera station, is in size and free to anyone with a metro ticket.
The Quebec Coalition for Homeopathy is an astroturfing organization founded in 2019 by homeopathy giant Boiron to argue for the creation of a professional order for homeopaths in the Canadian province of Quebec.
In addition to Boiron, the coalition is composed of distributors of homeopathic products (Homeocan, Bio Lonreco, Distripharm, Harbasanté, Schmidt Nagel, Hylands), Quebec's trade union for homeopaths, the Canadian Homeopathic Pharmaceutical Association, the Homeopathy Research Institute, as well as a support group for homeopathy founded on the same day.
The group's objectives have been denounced by McGill University's Office for Science and Society and by several Canadian science communicators, who insist homeopathy is a pseudoscience that is not known to be effective for treating any medical condition.

Built in 1926-27, the eighteen-story building was one of Chicago's many luxury apartment buildings constructed along Lake Michigan in the early twentieth century.
The building used a semi-cooperative ownership model, in which the residents of the largest apartments had an ownership stake in the building while smaller units were rented; the cooperative model and its variations were popular with luxury apartments, as they gave residents control over how the building was run and who could live there.
Architects Rissman & Hirschfeld designed the Tudor Revival building; while the Tudor Revival was one of many revival styles that became popular in the early twentieth century, it was relatively uncommon among Chicago's luxury apartments.
The building's design features terra cotta arches around the entrances, ornamental terra cotta panels between the windows of the upper and lower floors, a balustrade atop the sixteenth floor, and a two-story penthouse with a broken parapet.

Fitton Green Natural Area is a 308-acre county park in Benton County, Oregon, United States near the Marys River about 4 miles north of Philomath.
The park was named after Elsie Fitton Ross, who helped fund the acquisition of the parkland along with her husband Charles Ross, in partnership with the Greenbelt Land Trust.
The initial land was acquired in 1988 with funding assistance from the Rosses, who were the founders of the Greenbelt Land Trust.
The land trust works in partnership with Benton County's Natural Areas and Parks division to manage the property, and retains a 143-acre conservation easement.
The park comprises several forest types, including Douglas fir, mixed riparian forest, oak woodland, oak savanna, Bigleaf maple groves, old-growth forest remnants, managed conifers and tree plantations, and rare upland prairie, which supports a population of the endangered Taylor's checkerspot butterfly.

Jean Veillet (, born in Saint-André-de-Niort, France - death at Sainte-Geneviève-de-Batiscan, Quebec, Canada) is the unique ancestor of Veillet and Veillette of America.
Jean Veillet was a soldier of the Vaudreuil Company when he arrived in Canada, then a farmer and a forest contractor.
Jean Veillet was married on November 19, 1698 in Batiscan, Quebec to Catherine Lariou (born January 26, 1683 in Batiscan, Qc).
The Association des Veillet/te d'Amérique (Veillet/te families Association) obtained its letters patent on March 12, 1986, under the third part of the Quebec Companies Act.
It is a non-profit organization made up of the descendants of the couple Jean Veillet (1664-1741) and Catherine Lariou (1683-1756), as well as their related persons.
The street takes its name after broker Hans Christian Aggersborg (1812-1895), a founding partner of Bechgaard & Aggersborg, who purchased a piece of land at the site when Classen's Garden was sold off in lots in 1846.
Skovgaard, who was from North Zealand, had lived with Aggersborg when he just 14 years old moved to Copenhagen to study at the Royal Danish Art Academy.
Hans Christian Aggersborg kept Villa Aggersborg until his death in 1895 but it had by then fallen into a state of disrepair.
She was known as the Queen of Malibu as well as the Founding Mother of Malibu and L.A.'s first high-profile female environmentalist.
Additionally, she founded Marblehead Land Company in 1921, and most notably, the Malibu Potteries in 1926, the first business in Malibu.
The company originated Malibu tile, and the venture became one of Southern California's most successful of its kind alongside Catalina Pottery, Gladding, McBean, and Batchelder tile.
Rindge also founded the Malibu Movie Colony, building and renting cottages—and later selling them—to early Hollywood stars such as Bing Crosby, Gloria Swanson, and Mary Pickford.
She fought bitterly to preserve her family's rancho, the Rancho Topanga Malibu Sequit which extended from Los Flores Canyon in Malibu into Ventura County.
Rindge successfully diverted the course of the Southern Pacific Railway by fighting their efforts to connect their Santa Barbara end terminus with Santa Monica; the route would have been coastal, not only infringing on the family ranch but destroying the natural beauty and topography of the Pacific Coast.
Rindge subsequently became known for her battle to keep the Pacific Coast Highway—at the time, Roosevelt Highway—from accomplishing the same and similar goals.
Rindge is also known as donor of the land upon which her daughter and son-in-law's home, the historic Adamson House, was built.
Her aunt, Emily Lathrop Preston, the founder and proprietor of a cult-like religious faith-healing health colony in Northern California, first brought Knight out west.
He had seen a photograph of her on Preston's piano, felt enchanted, and asked Preston for her blessing in romantically pursuing her niece.
They were then married within a week, moving out to California within the year, 1887, by way of first-class Pullman Palace rail car.
In the 1890s, the family began utilizing a Victorian ranch home they built in Malibu Canyon, which eventually burned down in a brush fire in 1903.
It had been Rindge Sr.'s dream to come to California for its temperate climate and what he had imagined as the American Riviera when he first came to California with his father on the first transcontinental railroad.
He had always wanted a farm by the sea, and once he purchased the Malibu rancho as the final Spanish land grant owner of the property, he established a cattle ranch.
He also became deeply involved in civic life, from serving as director of Edison Electric, founding Conservative Life Insurance Company, and promoting Temperance by helping close saloons in Santa Monica to building Santa Monica's First Methodist Episcopal Church and taking the post of vice president of Union Oil.
When he died suddenly at the age of 48 in 1905, Rhoda May Knight Rindge was left with the totality of his business dealings, setting the stage for her unusual position at the time as a woman at the helm of a major family estate.
Prior to her husband's death, there had been word that Southern Pacific intended to connect their Santa Barbara terminus with Santa Monica which would entail running tracks right through the vast 13,315-acre Rindge property.
Frederick hatched a plan to take advantage of an obscure Interstate Commerce Commission law that stated if one railway ran through a property, there could be no other railway doing the same.
Hence Rindge decided to build his own private track—a utilitarian one to service his cattle ranch—but died before carrying out the plan, leaving the operation up to Rhoda May.
She subsequently built the Malibu Pier and 15 miles of standard gauge track, known as the Hueneme, Malibu and Port Los Angeles Railway, that ran down the length of the pier, where a steam-powered crane lifted cattle hides and walnuts onto boats for shipment and grains onto land for cattle-feed.
Rindge had successfully won her Southern Pacific Railway battle, but on her victory's heels came homesteaders along the edge of her property demanding county roads to be laid through her ranch for the public good.
Rindge was strictly opposed to the idea, entering the law office of O'Melveny & Myers in 1907 to take up the new fight against the Federal Government and People of the State of California.
What ensued was an approximately 16-year fight costing Rindge over $1 million a year, first to keep out the roads, then Roosevelt Highway.
The court cases were extremely complex and imbued with intense hostility, with Rindge sabotaging the public's efforts to lay roads with extreme measures.
Such measures ranged from employing armed guards on horseback to patrol her property and enforce locked gates to digging up roads and replacing them with alfalfa and pigs.
Ultimately, she lost her county roads battle and, finally, her effort against Roosevelt Highway, enumerating four California Supreme Court cases and two United States Supreme Court cases, including Rindge Co. v. County of Los Angeles.
In an effort to recoup her expenditures, she first drilled for oil on her property, establishing the Rindge derrick on Point Dume, but found none.
As the 1920s were a real-estate boom in Los Angeles, with thousands upon thousands of homes being built, and furthermore, in the tile-reliant Mission Revival, Mayan Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, and Moorish Revival styles, a tile business promised to be lucrative.
Women hand-painted tile with substances modernly-regarded as toxic, such as cadmium for oranges, uranium for oranges and reds, cobalt for blues, and lead for yellows.
Methods included cuerda seca and cuenca, and patterns and iconography were inspired by books from an expensive library with which Rindge furnished the pottery.
The potteries produced not only flat ceramic tiles for ceilings, walls, baseboards, and floors but also ceramic tile fountains, murals, urns, and bathroom built-ins like toothbrush holders and soap dishes.
Despite the success of the pottery, Rindge still struggled to balance her finances, even as her net worth was estimated in the many millions in 1928.
Hence, Rindge's next venture was the Malibu Movie Colony—cottages built on her beachfront by movie studio carpenters that were at first leased to figures in the nascent movie business such as Bing Crosby, Gloria Swanson, Mary Pickford, Anna Q. Nilsson, Dolores Del Rio, Gary Cooper, Lana Turner, Adela Rogers St. Johns, Carole Lombard, and Clark Gable.
Nine-thousand cases of Malibu Potteries tile were produced to adorn it, including a massive 13'x 59' all-tile faux Persian carpet, and hand-carved mahogany was to decorate it as well.
When the Great Depression hit in 1929, followed by a kiln fire that destroyed most of Malibu Potteries in 1931 (closing the Potteries entirely by 1932), Rindge was plunged into further financial trouble.
She could not afford to complete the Rindge Castle, and she was forced to sell off her Malibu Movie Colony properties other assets.
Though most of the castle eventually burned to the ground in the 1970s, various parts were salvaged, including Malibu tile, and the property is still in the hands of the Franciscans as Serra Retreat.
Her relationship with one of her sons was fractured, as he held her responsible for depleting the family wealth so severely between her court battles and lavish expenditures.
Despite having been known to the public for so many years as more than ornery, her role in preserving Malibu's ecological landscape is still felt, as large swathes are not only preserved but protected as part of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
This includes the sprawling, nature-ensconced Pepperdine University campus, for which her daughter's family donated the first 138 acres—original Rindge ranch land.
World-famous Surfrider Beach, where her pier still stands and the Malibu Potteries lot remains vacant, is protected by the Surfrider Foundation and officially declared as the first-ever World Surfing Reserve via the Save the Waves Coalition.
Meanwhile, Rindge's pier, regarded as a Southern California landmark, has been a recreation destination since the 1950s and home to fishermen since 1934.
As a community, Malibu is known for its wealthy entertainment business denizens, a stage Rindge set by being the first in the area to rent and sell homes to elite actors, directors, producers, and other aristocratic figures.
The tile Rindge produced remains in thousands of homes, the most extensive display remaining being her daughter's home, the Adamson House, slightly west of Rindge's pier, while Los Angeles City Hall, the Mayan Theater, The Roosevelt Hotel, the Geffen Playhouse, Dana Junior High School in San Pedro, and other public buildings across the United States—and even some abroad—still contain their own examples of Malibu tile.
Though predating the Potteries by roughly 20 years, hence containing no Malibu tile, the Rindge family home she and her husband built in West Adams Heights, the Frederick Hastings Rindge House, still stands—the home Rindge lived in until she died.
Her dam in the Malibu Hills is still extant, though long out of use and plans are in place to tear it down.

With over 30 years experience in various Executive and Non-Executive roles, Bronwyn has been involved in projects across European, Asian and Caribbean markets.
Having worked for various banks and ascending into leadership roles, she has held positions such as the Head of Global Research at HSBC Bank, Chief Economist at Nomura International, Managing Editor and Head of European Broadcast at Bloomberg LP and Senior Economist/Bond Strategist with Deutsche Bank Group.
Until recently, Bronwyn Curtis served as the Governor for the London School of Economics (LSE) located in the United Kingdom which has been ranked in the top 10 universities in the UK and top 50 in global rankings.
In 2008, she received the OBE (Order of the British Empire) award for outstanding service to business economics and in 2017 received an honorary doctorate from her alma mater (La Trobe University).
Bronwyn currently serves on a number of committees and is frequently called upon to speak at various conferences on matters relating to trade and finance.
Born and raised in Bendigo, Victoria in Australia, Bronwyn Nannette Schlotterlein (later married and became Bronwyn Curtis) went on to pursue ballet at the Australian Ballet School after getting her high school diploma.
She then left the ballet school and pursued a university education at La Trobe University in Australia where she received her undergraduate degree in Economics with Honours in 1969.
Curtis has an expansive career in both Finance and Media and has held various positions with both executive and non-executive titles.
After receiving her master's degree from LSE, she worked as a consultant for the World Bank and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
In 1987 Curtis took a position with Deutsche Bank Group and worked her way up to Global Head of Currency & Fixed Income Strategy in 1995.
In 1999, she made a career shift into media by taking on the position of Head of European Broadcast and Managing Editor for Bloomberg LP.
In 2008, she moved into the financial sector again by taking a position with HSBC Bank place initially as the Head of Global Research, later being promoted to Senior Advisor for Global Banking and Markets as well as Executive Editor for Global Communications.
She starts off by looking historically at what has happened in financial markets that has encouraged political parties to legislate unpopular but needed policies for their economy.
In looking at how the political structures are set up in democracies, Curtis makes mention of the fact that because the effects of policies can take time for their effects to be realised in the economy, many politicians may operate on a 'short-term' basis where politics now plays an important role in whether a government will opt to place a policy in motion or not.
She moves on to look at what has transpired in the US and UK markets mainly and categorises the pre-1980's as ruled by the boom and bust cycle in economics.
This volatility in the market required the labour force to be flexible enough for people to move in accordance with the changes in the needs of the economy (i.e.
The 1990s introduced more stability in the cyclical movements of the markets and as a result, institutions became more reliable, which in turn according to Bronwyn Curtis, led the fluctuations in the market to be manipulated by changes in expectations.
To tie this analysis to her topic, Curtis now makes the connection between changes in expectations impacting the market to the need for reliable policies.
As an example, the case of the Bank of England stating independence from the government is introduced to look at how trust in the policies implemented by the bank and their commitment to said policies affected expectations and economic growth.
In a slight shift in topic, Bronwyn Curtis shifts her focus from trust in institutions to her thoughts on Euroland and the adoption of the European Central Bank (as well as the adoption of the Euro across participating nation states across Europe).
She brings up the worry that having participating nations each operating at different economic speeds brings up a disconnect if the policies implemented by the European Central Bank are to be the same across board.
What this means is that a country like Italy, who might operate best with higher interest rates will be working with a country like France who might benefit from low and stable interest rates.
She also brings up the fact that a small number of member countries in Euroland account for 2/3 of the total GDP for Euroland and yet each country will have 1 vote in the council.
This will in turn lead the larger countries to bail out smaller countries who are in need at the cost of their individual growth for the stability of the collective.
The 3 main conclusions from this chapter hold that first, the policies that are needed for economic growth and usually not easy for the governments in power to enforce and as such will need to be spurred on by changes in the financial markets that lead to unrest with the society.
Second is that change is not undertaken voluntarily, and that similar to the first main point, a large enough crisis is necessary to spur on the demand for change.
Lastly, that the way that the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) in Europe has been designed, will eventually lead to tension between nation states and will eventually dissolve.

Players fight enemies by throwing snow at them enemies until it is completely covered and turns into a snowball, while partially covered enemies in snow cannot move until it shakes it off.
Once an enemy has been turned into a snowball, the player can roll it and rebound off of walls until eventually shattering against a wall, trapping any enemies on its way.
A new addition are three new playable characters, each with their own method of dispatching enemies from the playfield, however the snowman Nick was omitted in the sequel.
As with the first entry, the game hosts a number of hidden bonus secrets to be found, which are crucial for reaching high-scores to obtain extra lives.
Getting hit by enemy fire or colliding against solid stage obstacles will result in losing a live, as well as a penalty of decreasing the characters' firepower and speed to his original state and once all lives are lost, the game is over unless the players insert more credits into the arcade machine to continue playing.
The game ran on Toaplan's Version 2 arcade board, which used a Motorola 68000 clocked at 16 megahertz, as well as Yamaha YM2151 and OKI6295 chips for sound, while its visuals were rendered at 320 x 240 pixels with 65,536 colors and displayed 256 sprites onscreen.
The arcade board is multi-regional, meaning that it can be configured for different regions via the DIP switches and these settings change several elements in the game.

Uriyangkhadai (Modern Mongolian: Mongolian Cyrillic: Урианхадай, , , – ) was an Uriankhai general in the Mongol Empire who led several campaigns during the 13th century Mongol conquest of the Song dynasty, including the first Mongol invasion of Vietnam.
According to Jean-Pierre Abel-Rémusat, he participated in the conquest of Kievan Rus', conquest of Poland, and conquests of Germanic lands before being sent to China.
During the first phase of the Mongol conquest of the Song dynasty in southern China, Uriyangkhadai led 3,000 Mongol cavalry in Sichuan.
Uriyangkhadai led successful campaigns in the southwest of China against the Dali Kingdom alongside Kublai Khan and pacified tribes in Tibet after Kublai Khan's return to northern China, before turning east towards the Trần dynasty by 1257.
In the autumn of 1257, Uriyangkhadai addressed three letters to Đại Việt emperor Trần Thái Tông demanding passage through to southern China.
After the three successive envoys were imprisoned in Thang Long (modern-day Hanoi), the capital of the Trần dynasty, Uriyangkhadai invaded Đại Việt with generals Trechecdu and Aju in the rear.
According to Vietnamese sources, the Mongol army consisted of at least 30,000 soldiers of which at least 2,000 were Yi troops from the Dali Kingdom while Western sources estimate that the Mongol army consisted of about 100,000 Mongols with an additional 10,000 Yi soldiers.
While Chinese source material incorrectly stated that Uriyangkhadai withdrew from Vietnam after nine days due to poor climate, his forces did not leave until 1259.
Uriyangkhadai left Thang Long in 1259 to invade the Song dynasty in modern-day Guangxi as part of a coordinated Mongol attack with armies attacking in Sichuan under Möngke Khan and other Mongol armies attacking in modern-day Shandong and Henan.
Around 17 November 1259 while besieging Ezhou in Hubei, Kublai Khan received a messenger who described Uriyangkhadai's army advances from Thang Long to Tanzhou (modern-day Changsha) in Hunan via Yongzhou (modern-day Nanning) and Guilin in Guangxi.
Uriyangkhada's army subsequently fought its way north to rejoin Kublai Khan's army on the northern banks of the Yangtze river, after which both armies returned to northern China due to the succession crisis that emerged as a result of Möngke Khan's death at the Siege of Diaoyucheng on 11 August 1259.
The Cambridge History of Korea is a forthcoming series of books to be published by Cambridge University Press (CUP) surveying the history of Korea in four separate volumes from prehistory to the 21st century, and is anticipated to be released sometime in 2020.
According to series editor Donald Baker, the series will aim to be broad, accurate, and up to date, providing both a thorough survey of Korean history as well as comparative perspective of Korea's relationship with its neighbors.
Work on the Cambridge History of Korea was originally started in the 1990s by editorship of James Palais, but due to a lack of scholars specialized in the field in English, progress was slow, eventually stopping with his death in 2006 until work on the series was renewed under Donald Baker in 2016.
The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Bucharest (; ) is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Indonesia to Romania and is concurrently accredited to the Republic of Moldova.

As the unit did not have its own facility, the Half-Company joined militia soldiers from the Lake Superior Regiment at the Port Arthur Armoury.
Originally the regiment, like all Italian tank units, was part of the infantry, but on 1 June 1999 it became part of the cavalry.
On 29 August 1940 both battalions were assigned to the I Tankers Group of the Libyan Tank Command under General Valentino Babini.
In September 1940 the battalion participated in the Italian invasion of Egypt and only three months later it was annihilated on 11 December 1940 near Buq Buq during the Battle of Sidi Barrani.
On 1 April 1961 the III Tank Battalion was renamed LXIII Tank Battalion and received the traditions of the World War II battalion.
Tank and armored battalions created during the 1975 army reform were all named for officers, soldiers and partisans, who were posthumously awarded Italy's highest military honor the Gold Medal of Military Valour during World War II.
The 63rd Tank Battalion's name commemorated 4th Tank Infantry Regiment Second Lieutenant Vincenzo Fioritto, who was killed in action on 10 September 1943 during the attempt to defend Rome against the German Operation Achse.
For its conduct and work after the 1976 Friuli earthquake the battalion was awarded a Bronze Medal of Army Valour, which was affixed to the battalion's war flag and added to the battalion's coat of arms.
After having ceased its colors the war flag of the 63rd was transferred to the Shrine of the Flags in the Vittoriano in Rome.
Michael P. Burgess is an Australian intelligence official, and the current Director-General of Security in charge of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO).
He was the first member of his family to study in higher education, receiving a degree in electrical engineering from the South Australian Institute of Technology in 1988.
Burgess joined ASD (then called the Defence Signals Directorate) in 1995, and worked there for 18 years before leaving to work in the private sector, notably as chief information security officer for Telstra, then as a cyber-security consultant and advisor.
In August 2019, prime minister Scott Morrison and Minister for Home Affairs Peter Dutton announced Burgess had been appointed to replace the retiring Duncan Lewis as the head of ASIO.

Ehelepola Walauwa () was the ancestral home (or walauwa) of Ehelepola Disawe and his family and is located in Kandy, Sri Lanka.
He was the first Adigar (a role which combined the powers of a prime minister and a chief justice) from 1811 to 1814 under the reign King Sri Vikrama Rajasinha.
In 1814 when the king believed he failed to suppress an uprising in Sabaragamuva he sent his forces to capture Ehelepola, who fled from Ratnapura to the British-occupied port of Kalutara.
The king retaliated by brutally executing his wife, Kumarihamy and his four children, Loku Bandara, Madduma Bandara, Tikiri Manike and Dingiri Menike.
Ehelepola then aided the British in launching an invasion of the Kingdom of Kandy and was instrumental in the Kandyan Convention that followed in March 1815, which led to the annexing of Kingdom of Kandy as part of the British Empire.
Madugalle Nilame, Ellepola Nilame, Keppatipola Nilame and Kivulegedara Mohottirala were some of the inmates of this prison before they were executed by the British.
In 1998 it was designated as a 'Conserved Building' by the UNESCO as part of the listing of Kandy as a World Heritage City.
On 13 July 2013 the site was transferred from the Department of Prisons to the President, Mahinda Rajapaksa for development as a Cultural and Urban Facility Centre.
In June 2018 the walauwa was opened to the public for four days, along with Meda Wasala, Kandy Municipal Council building and Bogambara Prison, as part of a program to promote Kandy's heritage by the Urban Development Authority (UDA), in conjunction with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
In 2018 the JICA identified that the cell block buildings had been rehabilitated but not properly conserved, with most of the historic materials removed, and replaced with new materials.
The walawwa still retained its central courtyard and was not yet renovated but did have a temporary shed structure over the roof to prevent water damage.

The Moscow Summit of 1974 was a summit meeting between President Richard M. Nixon of the United States and General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
The summit followed the Washington Summit the previous year as well as considerable progress in U.S.-Soviet relations made by Nixon in the previous two years.
The visit was the final one of Nixon's presidency as he would give his resignation speech in August of that year.
He arrived at Vnukovo International Airport in Moscow on June 27 to a military welcome ceremony performed by members of the 99th Independent Commandant's Battalion.
He was also met with cheering crowds before he went to the Grand Kremlin Palace for a state dinner that evening.
In the three day period that followed, he held talks with Leonid Brezhnev, Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, and other Soviet officials which cumilated in the signing of an economic agreement that will last a decade on 30 June.
Nixon and Brezhnev from there met once again in Simferopol and Yalta, cities in the Crimea region of the Ukrainian SSR.
It was rumored that officials from the White House officials did not want Nixon to go to Yalta due to adverse connotations with the Yalta Conference of 1945.
At the end of the summit, Nixon undertook a visit to Minsk in Belarusian SSR to attend celebrations in honor of the 30th anniversary of the liberation of Belarus.
but she found a sense of community through her participation in the Hampshire College Summer Mathematics Program, and she went on to earn her bachelor's degree at Hampshire College.
With Theodore Slaman, Groszek showed that (if they exist at all) non-constructible real numbers must be widespread, in the sense that every perfect set contains one of them, and they asked analogous questions of the non-computable real numbers.
With Slaman, she has also shown that the existence of a maximally independent set of Turing degrees, of cardinality less than the cardinality of the continuum, is independent of ZFC.
In the theory of ordinal definable sets, an unordered pair of sets is said to be a Groszek–Laver pair if the pair is ordinal definable but neither of its two elements is; this concept is named for Groszek and Richard Laver, who observed the existence of such pairs in certain models of set theory.
With mathematics colleague Dorothy Wallace and performance artist Josh Kornbluth, Groszek has also helped write and produce a sequence of educational videos about mathematics.
The peak was first climbed June 15, 1951, by Paul Binkert, John Booth, Dick Chambers, Jim Irving, Don Montgomery, and Jim Teevan.
The peak was named for Captain John M. Grant of the Royal Engineers by Fred Beckey in his Cascade Alpine Guide.
Mount Grant is related to the Chilliwack batholith, which intruded the region 26 to 29 million years ago after the major orogenic episodes in the region.
This is part of the Pemberton Volcanic Belt, an eroded volcanic belt that formed as a result of subduction of the Farallon Plate starting 29 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Grant is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Range where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.
Last Child () is a 2017 South Korean drama film written and directed by first-time director Shin Dong-seok and stars Choi Moo-sung, Kim Yeo-jin and Sung Yu-bin.
Six months ago, Jin Sang-chul (Choi Moo-sung) and Lee Mi-sook (Kim Yeo-jin) lost their son Eun-chan who drowned while saving one of his friends, Yoon Gi-hyun (Sung Yu-bin).
Upon learning that he has been abandoned by his parents and also recently lost his job, Sang-chul offers him a job to work for his small company.
Feeling guilty about what had actually happened to Eun-chan on the day he died, he reveals the shocking truth behind Eun-chan's death.
On 24 November 2019, a Dornier Do 228 twin turboprop aircraft operated by local carrier Busy Bee Congo crashed shortly after takeoff from Goma International Airport and impacted a densely populated section of the city, killing many on the ground.
In October 2018, a cargo plane on route to Kinshasa crashed an hour after taking off from Goma in the province of Sankuru killing eight passengers and crew.
The airline operating the plane, Busy Bee Congo, was founded in 2007 and uses Goma as the base for its fleet of Dornier 228s.
Due to lack of funds, poverty, lack of oversight, and corruption in government, airline safety in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, especially among local low-price carriers, is infamously lax with all the local carriers banned from operating in the European Union.
According to reports the aircraft took off from the airport but suffered engine failure and crashed less than a minute after take off.
The aircraft violently burst in flames after impact in one of the densely populated areas of the city, the fire preventing locals from helping victims caught in the blaze.
Collin M. Stultz is an American biomolecular engineer, physician-scientist and academic at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts General Hospital.
He is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, a Professor in the Institute for Medical Engineering & Science (also at MIT), a faculty member in the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, and a cardiologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital.
Stultz's research is focused on understanding the behavior of biomolecules that are involved in common human diseases; on development of machine learning models to identify high risk patients; and on the development of optimal treatment strategies for high risk patients.
Stultz was also appointed to the Committee on Higher Degrees in Biopyshics at Harvard University in 2004 and joined the cardiology staff at the Massachusetts General Hospital in 2017.
In addition to his academic appointments, Stultz is a member of the Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE), and an associate member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT.
Shores Salter and Stultz’s efforts to help a marathon bombing survivor in the immediate aftermath of the attack are described in the 2017 book Perfect Strangers.
Stultz's research is focused on understanding the behavior of biomolecules that are involved in common human diseases; on development of machine learning models to identify high risk patients; and on the development of optimal treatment strategies for high risk patients.
Stultz began his career in computational biophysics, modeling the structure and function of flexible proteins that play a role in a number of common human diseases.
His work in this area has involved using a combination of both computational/theoretical models coupled with biochemical experiments, which are designed to test and refine these models.
Most notably, Stultz’ research group has developed methods for analyzing and modeling intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) that are involved in neurodegenerative disorders.
In the mid 2010s, he and his coworkers developed a novel method for modeling IDPs that uses Bayesian statistics to quantify the uncertainty in the underlying structural ensemble.
Stultz and his lab have also developed a variational Bayes’ method that enables them to apply these methods to larger systems in a fraction of the CPU time that would be required using a standard Bayes’ formalism.
In recent years, work in Stultz’s group has shifted to the application of signal processing and machine learning tools to help identify patients at elevated risk of cardiovascular death after an acute coronary syndrome.
Stultz and collaborators have developed several ECG-based metrics that help in identifying patients at elevated risk of cardiovascular death after an acute coronary syndrome.
These include a James Tolbert Shipley Prize from Harvard Medical School, a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award (2003), the Irving London Teaching Award (2006), the W. M. Keck Career Development Professorship in Biomedical Engineering from MIT (2007), a Career Award from the National Science Foundation (2008), a Renée Finn Faculty Research Innovation Fellowship (2014).
His brief stardom coincided with neorealist attempts to replace the traditional star system by casting more ordinary figures drawn from the public.
Abena Frempongmaa Daagye Oduro (born 10 February 1959) is the Vice Dean of the Faculty of Social Science at the University of Ghana where she also holds the position of Associate Professor of the Department of Economics.
Having had 30 years of experience teaching, her areas of specialization are centred around gender and asset management, international economics, poverty analysis, macroeconomic theory and trade policy.
Abena Oduro is the first Vice President of the Association for the Advancement of African Women Economists (AAAWE) where Professor of Economics in University of Kansas, Elizabeth Asiedu, is the founder and president.
Abena Oduro, a Ghanaian national, obtained her O levels and A levels at Aburi Girls Secondary School and Wesley Girls High School respectively, both located in Ghana.
She then stayed on in the University of Glasgow to obtain an M.Litt in Economics in 1982 and started her PhD program (1983–1987) which she did not complete.
Oduro was awarded for her academic performance through The Royal Scottish Geographical Medal for Outstanding Performance (1982) and the University of Glasgow Scholarship (1983).
Abena Oduro is currently a Senior Economics Lecturer in the University of Ghana where she has been working since 1989 teaching macroeconomic theory, international economics and international trade theory in the undergraduate and post-graduate levels.
In 1999, she was appointed as the Project Officer for the Centre for Policy Analysis (CEPA) till 2001 where she went on to be a Research Fellow in this same organization until 2006.
Furthermore, aside being the Vice Dean of the Faculty Social Studies, Abena Oduro is also the Director of the Centre for Social Policy Studies in the University of Ghana and the Co-Director for the Merian Institute for Advanced Studies in Africa (MIASA) which is an organization setup to create a platform for scholars within the Social Science field in Sub Saharan Africa to share and popularize their research.
She is also the associate editor of Feminist Economics and a co-editor for the Engendering Economic Policy in Africa issue (2015).
Oduro is part of the African Economic Research Consortium, American Economic Association and the International Association for Feminist Economics where she holds active membership roles in all of these groups respectively.
Abena Frempongmaa Daagye Oduro's work cuts across a variety of topics namely trade policy, asset management and ownership, poverty and gender analysis, labour market in low income countries and inequality and vulnerability analysis.
Aside these areas of specialization, some of her work is also centred around World Trade Organization (WTO) issues and the economics of education.
Gender analysis and asset management and control are one of the recurring themes that are present in a lot of Abena Oduro's work.
In doing so, she also delves into issues relating to rights such as the right to sell or freedom to use ones property through a critical feminist theory lens.
Abena Oduro, in this paper, explores the effect certain aspects of Ghanaian culture has on the level of control a woman has in exercising her rights to sell or to use her home as collateral.
They also investigate any forms of pay discrimination by virtue of relations between the worker and the employer, ethnic group and their work experience.
Their findings saw that there were pay differentials by ethnic group- the Northerners were typically earning less mainly because of the average level of education people from that part of Ghana have in a lifetime thereby reducing their earning power and employment mobility.
Their paper also showed that relatives of employers were also paid more and there is a preference of inexperienced workers from the same ethnic group than other ethnic groups.
Funding and owning assets such as houses, land, real estates, businesses and agriculture have shown to be more difficult for women than it is for men in the case study countries which are Ecuador, Ghana and Karnataka, India.
The paper suggests that, in order to bridge this gap in capital and land accumulation, there is a need to promote financial inclusion which focuses on both savings and credits.
They propose that although there have been policy changes to address this issue, they have not been effective enough to cause a dramatic change especially in educational levels of women in Ghana.
With respect to wages, there is a fairly large gender wage gap especially when taking into account domestic work of women.
Oduro and Ackah propose the need to have stronger policies centred around changing values and certain cultural norms to address this problem and reduce this gender gap.
John Forrest Secondary College (abbreviated as JFSC) is an Independent public co-educational high day school, located in the suburb of Morley, Western Australia.
In 2015, John Forrest started accepting year 7 students for the first time, becoming a 7-12 school, alongside most other public high schools in the state.
In 2017, the state Labor government committed $50 million to build new and refurbish existing facilities at John Forrest Secondary College.
The new facilities will include a performing arts centre, administration building, buildings for the technologies learning area, a cafeteria and new sports courts.
John Forrest Secondary College offers Department of Education endorsed specialist programs in Cricket, Music, Netball and Tennis, and the college based Academic Excellence Program (AEP) and Computer Science Program.
The music program is open to year 6's from nearby schools, where they travel to John Forrest for an hour each week.
Ashley Smith, former student of John Forrest and Head of Woodwind and Contemporary Performance at UWA school of music is the patron for the music program.
Margaret Court was previously the patron, however the school sacked her in October 2017, because her views on family and sexuality did not conform with that of the John Forrest college board, which created controversy amongst students offending different students of different beliefs.
John Forrest Secondary College is in a good location for public transport, being located near the Morley bus station and several bus routes.
Student numbers have significantly increased since 2015, partially due to year 7 students being accepted and the 2014 half cohort leaving.
It was founded by Betsy Damon, an artist and environmental activist, in 1991 with the assistance of the Hubert Humphrey Institute.
As part of this initiative, Damon, assisted by Chengdu-based artist Dai Guanyu, organized two large-scale public events in Chengdu in China and Lhasa in Tibet in 1995 and 1996, respectively, where they invited local and international artists, such as Song Dong, Yin Xiuzhen, Dai Guanyu, and Zhang Shengquan to create new works that respond to the major rivers in these cities.
They therefore provide a different perspective to the art historical canon about performance art in China in the 1990s, which had mainly focused on individual performances by male artists who created performances indoors.

The battle of the river Tigris was an engagement between the Diadochi Seleucus and the Antigonid general Nicanor, on the southern bank of the river Tigris in the year 311 BC.
Nicanor was on route to recapture the city of Babylon from Seleucus, but he was defeated when Seleucus surprised him with an assault on his camp during the night, forcing Antigonus to cease hostilities with the other Diadochi, (Ptolemy, Cassander and Lysimachus) in order to concentrate his efforts on recapturing the city of Babylon himself.
Seleucus rushed with a few soldiers to his old satrapy of Babylon, on the way he recruited some soldiers, possibly Silver Shields at Harran, and resumed his advance to retake Babylon.
Hearing of this news Nicanor, satrap of the east under Antigonus, quickly assembled an army composed of 10,000 infantry and 7,000 cavalry, with a large contingent under Eaugoras, satrap of Persia, and possibly the remaining Silver Shields who Antigonus had exiled to Arachosia in 316 BC.
After assembling his army he marched west, towards Seleucus who could gather no more than 3,400 soldiers, the majority of them infantry, so he decided to shadow Nicanor's movements and waited for him to cross the Tigris hiding in the marshy terrain around it.
The camp was lightly guarded because Nicanor thought Seleucus had fled, it was also separated from the main force who had yet to cross the river; seeing the opportunity Seleucus attacked him during the night, and caught Nicanor by surprise, amidst the fight, Eaugoras was killed and his Persian soldiers fled the battlefield or surrendered to Seleucus, Nicanor army was overwhelmed, but he was able ot escape.
The news of Seleucus's victory came as a surprise in the west and prompted a shake-up of political alignments, ending the peace.
When Antigonus was informed of the battle he ordered his son Demetrius with 19,000 soldiers to recapture Babylonia, but Seleucus was now in a much stronger position as many of Nicanor's soldiers had joined the Seleucid ranks after the battle.
The Hongkong Canton & Macao Steamboat Company was a British merchant shipping and maritime trading company founded in 1865 in the Crown colony of Hong Kong.
The Hongkong Canton & Macao Steamboat Company was founded on 20 October 1865 in Hong Kong by a collection of people tied to the shipping industry in order to support the market for regional ferry transport in the Canton area.
The company was founded in the same year as the founding of the Companies Registry which granted it the company number 2, only behind the British Traders' Insurance Company.
The HCMSCo was one of the major shipping companies that participated in the Pearl River and China trade together with the China Navigation Company, China Merchants Steam Navigation Company and Jardine Matheson's Indo-China Steam Navigation Company since its creation in the 1860's.
CMCo and the HCMSCo had entered into a collaboration to jointly carry out business in the area which continued into the early 1900s.
With the opening of the West River Trade in 1897, HCMSCo together with the China Navigation Company and Jardine Matheson's Indo-China Steam Navigation Company, partnered together to open the new trade which became active from around 1897 to 1917 following the opening of several Treaty Ports like Wuzhou, Sanshui and Jiangmen to foreign trade in 1897.

After yelling at his son for dressing as Hooded Justice, June tells Will to stay away as she is moving back to Tulsa with their son.
Selected elements of some scenes are shown in color, for example, imagery of Will's mother playing the piano in some shots.
Additionally, in seemingly one-shot takes, young Will (played by Jovan Adepo) is swapped out in scenes with Angela (Regina King) to show her immersion in the Nostalgia-induced lucid dream.
Many of the shots where Adepo and King were done with simple camera movement, allowing the actors to switch places during the shot.
Other long-takes were also done with practical effects: the shot taken of Will's point-of-view of his near-lynching was done by hoisting the camera out of the operator's hands, holding it there long enough, and then lowering back down to continue the shot, as to create the immersion they needed for the scene.
While Hooded Justice is a minor character, whose identity was never identified within the limited series, he played a key role in stopping the attempted rape of Silk Spectre by The Comedian shortly after the Minutemen had posed for their first photo session.
While not fully confirmed by the show's staff, the character of Fred, the racist white supermarket owner played by Glenn Fleshler, appears to allude to Fred Trump, the father of Donald Trump, based on both appearance and other elements that aligned with Fred Trump's biography, including his involvement with the KKK.

In a broad sense, human magicians are also counted as among the dragon races, but in general, it refers to the original six.
A physical characteristic common to the dragon races are their green pupils, but that has changed due to the poison (curse) imposed on them by the Gods.
The curse received from the goddesses rendered male Nornir impotent, so as to prevent the race as a whole from propagating.
When the male Nornir eventually died out, the females tried to keep their race alive by interbreeding with humans, which led to the birth of human magicians.
It is also considered a disgrace by the Red Dragon tribe for anyone to see the areas of their body where they visibly change their form with their magic, as it is expected by their kind that they should be able to shift fluidly and instantaneously without notice.
It's said that Mist Dragons are the ones that human beings are the most likely out of the six dragon tribes to encounter in their lives (aside from the Red Dragons, which can mimic the form of humans) as well as one of the most dangerous, because it is designated as a walking disaster that will indiscriminately cause wide-scale destruction within miles with its ability to manipulate the atmosphere.
As a result of the Goddesses' curse, they have lost all five of their senses and do not respond to external stimuli at all.
It is said that it once built a mighty military state, but now it lives in the territory of Masmaturia (The country of Volkan and Dortin's dwarven race) and all of its kind are currently sleeping.
The effective range is within the reach of the voice, and the composition by magical power (the image of the magic that can only be perceived by the magician, of course the composition of the vocal magic can also be perceived by the dragon race), and the range of the magic is determined by the spell.
Since speech is the medium for exercising magic, it can be anything that the sorcerer screams at the time of activation, and it has nothing to do with the meaning of the words and the content of the magic you are activating.
However, most magicians use their own spells, for example because it is difficult to concentrate on the composition of words that are not too sudden.
It can be activated not only with screams but also with normal conversations, songs and moans, so it is extremely difficult to neutralize the magician while they remain conscious.
However, the white magicians are there voluntarily because there is no reason to leave, and it is almost impossible to stop the white magicians from trying to escape.
Their state of being is almost similar to that of a ghost, and they can use magic with much more efficiency and power than they would in a physical body, but it's very difficult for them to maintain their human ego and general sanity.
It easily allows an individual to manipulate space itself, deflect physical and magical attacks, erase minds and extinguish souls(or restore them), eradicate objects instantaneously, etc.
If a normal human becomes the familiar to a Deep Dragon, they will gain access to their magic and, in the case that the familiar is a sorcerer, their magical capacity increases substantially as well.
This can also prove potentially detrimental due to the distinct possibility that consciousness of the human and Deep Dragon may begin to merge.
A mutual agreement between both parties are necessary to use the contract as a medium, and it does not act at all outside the scope of the contract.
However, the called-upon spirit will overcome all obstacles(and is not limited by physical and supernatural means nor time and space) to fulfill the contract, even if the contract entails conditions such as the obliteration of an entire city.
By using the magical tools that were left behind by the Fairy Dragons, humans can reproduce this magic to a limited extent.
It allows one to gain powerful shape-shifting abilities in combination with augmenting the user's strength, such as the ability change the shape of their limbs into weapons such as whips or spears, regeneration, fluidization and complete transparency of the body.
While the power itself is regarded as weaker than that of other dragon races (except for black and white magic), the effective range of this magic spans for several kilometers.
They gather orphans with magical skills from various places and nurture them in classroom units, and those within Childman's classrooms are among the most exceptional.
It is also the headquarters of the Confederate Magician Alliance (Damzul's Oryzans), and self-government is carried out by the highest executive department centered on the Tower's council of Elders.
The Three Goddesses of Fate: Urd (Goddess of the Past), Verdandi (Goddess of the Present), and Skuld (Goddess of the Future).
They receive anti-mage combat training at a young age and wield special tempered glass swords, of which there are only eight on the continent, as well as magical technology left behind by the Dragon Races.
The Thirteen Apostles are the most powerful sorcerers on the Kiesalhima continent, and their army consists of no more than one-hundred top-ranked mages.

These are pictures of an impressionist--that is to say, it is left to us to make a body for a few vivid words, but Mrs Bone's skill is indisputable.
She never allows us to forget that there is much beauty even in a plain country, but the great merit of her book is that, without shirking either the plainness or the meanness, she yet makes us feel the fine quality of the human nature which persists in its life, in spite of everything.

Lerrone Richards (born 25 August 1992) is a British professional boxer who has held the Commonwealth super-middleweight title since April 2019 and the British super-middleweight title since November 2019.
Richards made his professional debut on 29 September 2013, scoring a four-round points decision victory over Robert Studzinski at the York Hall in London.
With four wins out of four fights under his belt, Richards had a two year absence from competitive bouts while waiting for his contract to expire with his current management team due to a dispute; his last fight being a points decision win over Darren McKenna in April 2014.
His return to the ring came on 24 October of that year, winning with a first-round technical knockout (TKO) against Gordan Glisic.
He fought and won five times in 2017, ending the year with a fight against Rhys Pagan for the vacant WBO European super-middleweight title on 27 November at the Grange St. Paul's Hotel in London.

Zupjok Peak is a mountain summit located along the northwestern boundary of the Coquihalla Summit Recreation Area, in the North Cascades of southwestern British Columbia, Canada.
It is situated north of the Coquihalla Highway, west of Zopkios Ridge, west of Coquihalla Summit, and south of Alpaca Peak.
Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into headwaters of the Coldwater River, as well as tributaries of the Coquihalla River and Anderson River.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.
Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires.
Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences which lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Zupjok Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Cascade Range where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall.
The P. C. Skovgaard House, located at Rosenvængets Hovedvej 27, is the former home of Danish Golden Age painter P. C. Skovgaard in the Rosenvænget Quarter of Østerbro in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The house was completed to a Historicist design by Johan Daniel Herholdt in 1862 and listed onn the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1977.
Skovgaard knew the area well since his uncle, Hans Christian Aggersborg, with whom he had lived when he first moved to Copenhagen to study at the art academy, was the owner of the country house Villa Aggersborg at a nearby site.
Skovgaard, who had that same year become a titular professor at the art academy, in 1860 commissioned the architect Johan Daniel Herholdt to design a house for the site.

He arrived as one of the Afghan cameleers brought into Australia to work on the camel trains which were being used to explore the interior of the continent in the late 19th century, and worked around the country before settling in Adelaide in 1899.
He travelled through Asia selling Arab horses and camels to the British Army, before sailing to Australia, arriving between 1884 and 1890.
He ran a drapery business in Lismore, New South Wales, where he lost a court action in 1910 regarding unlawful seizure of his property.
During the early 1900s (chronology unknown) is recorded as having run a drapery business in Duchess, Queensland (in Cloncurry Shire), working as a miner in Broken Hill (where he worked underground to learn about miners' ailments), and as a camel driver visiting Brisbane, Bourke in New South Wales, Farina, South Australia, the Nullarbor Plain, Townsville, Queensland and Broome, Western Australia.
The date of his (at least second) arrival in Adelaide is not known, but after starting a herbalist business at 181 Sturt Street, Adelaide in 1938, not far from Adelaide Mosque, he became a well-known figure in the town.
Although he was occasionally extreme in his criticism of Western medicine, by all accounts his treatments, based on traditional Afghan and/or Islamic medicine, achieved good outcomes for his patients.
He asked for donations only for all of his consultations and medicines, and donated most of his takings to the needy and charitable institutions.
He married Jean Emsley in 1940, whom he had cured of severe dermatitis, and they had a daughter, Bebe Nora, born on 17 August 1941.
It was around this time that his lifestyle changed somewhat from its previous simplicity; from having no car, he owned an expensive Daimler, and he possessed expensive jewellery.
At this, Adelaide’s Lord Mayor, Members of Parliament, Christian ministers, police officers of high rank and others numbering 19,000 signed a petition which they presented to him, asking him to reconsider and return as soon as possible.
After selling their Sturt Street property on 14 April 1953, at Jean's request the family went to Afghanistan, where Jean converted to Islam.
She died of smallpox after a year, having not been vaccinated and after performing hajj by visiting Mecca, Allum returned to Adelaide and bought a house at 68 Anzac Highway at Everard Park.
Allum continued his practice at Everard Park, but saw fewer patients as he aged, although did not suffer from serious illness.
A devout Muslim, Allum, aided by his wife and friends, sent letters to newspapers and published pamphlets on Islam, the Qur’an, and healing, although illiterate himself.
On Allum's 81st birthday, he bought 14 allotments at the Centennial Park Cemetery, in order to provide burial plots for other Muslims who could not afford a decent burial.

It closed in 2016 due to consistently poor results and low pupil numbers, and was noted for having the worst GCSE results in Lancashire.
A 10-week healthy lifestyle course was launched by the West Lancashire Community Leisure Trust in 2009 to help overweight students and their families at the school.
Leisure Leagues ran a league at the school in 2010 which aimed to help referees run community football leagues and all profits were donated to charity.
Lancashire County Council began a public consultation on the future of the school in October 2014 after figures showed the number of students had reduced by 54% since 2006, and ran until 14 December 2014.
Students, parents, staff, councillors and local residents totalling approximately 400, and West Lancashire MP Rosie Cooper, marched in protest on 15 November 2014 over its potential closure.
Parents had already submitted their views to the council and booked appointments with its officers as well as signing petitions, in preparation for the consultation event on 20 November 2014.
Following the initial six-week consultation, the council moved to stage two of the consultation in February 2015 despite opposition from the local community, which is the publication of a 'statutory notice'.
Stage three involved a further four-week statutory consultation period following the publication of the formal proposals, which allowed interested parties to submit their comments, objections as well as those in support, before a final decision is made.
At the time, it had 320 students compared to the school's capacity of more than 1,000 and was noted for having the worst GCSE results in Lancashire.
Year 7 and 9 students moved to a different school in September 2015 while Year 8 and 10 completed their Key Stage 3 and GCSE studies.
Parents, students and staff subsequently launched an appeal to the Office of the Schools Adjudicator, noting the unhappiness over the consultation process and the impact it will have on the local community, including the lack of parental choice, the future need for school places, transport issues and the loss of facilities.
It was the last chance for over-turning the closure decision but was unsuccessful after being confirmed it would go ahead in August 2015.
It was also subject to multiple fires; September 2016, November 2016, November 2018, and seven fires over four days in April 2019.
As part of a plan to provide a railway station for Skelmersdale, Lancashire County Council announced in 2017 that they had identified the site of the former college as the preferred location for a new station.

Later that year, Arai made a deal to sell B. Richardson and Sons, a silk importer, 400 pounds of raw silk from Chotaro's company for $6.50 per pound.
He didn't want to renegotiate so that he could keep Richardson's trust, because Japanese silk merchants had a bad reputation at the time.
While there, he started two companies: the Yokohama Kiito Gomei Kaisha, a silk exporter, and the Morimura Arai Company, which handled the former's direct sales in the United States.
By 1908, the Morimura Arai Company handled 30% of all silk exports to the United States and cotton imports from the United States to Japan.
Arai was elected to the board of governors for the Silk Association of America in 1901, and was the first Asian to hold that position.
He also helped to found Japanese community organizations in New York, like the Nippon Club in 1905 and the Japan Society of New York in 1907.
A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of Upper Hunter on 7 October 1939 because of the death of Country Party member Malcolm Brown.
Yakou (), also known as Guanshan Pass () or Daguanshan Pass (), is a mountain pass in Taiwan transversing the Central Mountain Range within Yushan National Park.
Construction ran between 1968 and 1972, and construction workers established a campsite near Yakou; the site of the campsite became a hostel operated by the China Youth Corps.
Immediately east of Yakou, a landslide buried Daguanshan Tunnel's east entrance and its adjacent parking lot and destroyed 300  of highway.
The section of the highway from Meishan to the west and Xiangyang to the west were closed to outside traffic after the typhoon and remains closed to this day.
The rock around Yakou is primarily composed of a stratum composed of argillite, another of shale, and a third of slate and phyllite.
Due to the parallel planes of weakness present in the rocks, Yakou and the rest of the Southern Cross-Island Highway is very prone to landslides and failures even before Typhoon Morakot in 2009, and reconstruction has proven to be very difficult.
There is a fort on a rocky knoll: it is an irregular oval, about north-northwest to south-southeast, by , enclosing a area of about .

For a given instance of the stable matching problem, this lattice provides an algebraic description of the family of all solutions to the problem.
By Birkhoff's representation theorem, this lattice can be represented as the lower sets of an underlying partially ordered set, and the elements of this set can be given a concrete structure as rotations, cycle graphs describing the changes between adjacent stable matchings in the lattice.
The family of all rotations and their partial order can be constructed in polynomial time, leading to polynomial time for other problems on stable matching including the minimum or maximum weight stable matching.
In its simplest form, an instance of the stable matching problem consists of two sets of the same number of elements to be matched to each other, for instance doctors and positions at hospitals.
Each element has a preference ordering on the elements of the other type: the doctors each have different preferences for which hospital they would like to work at (for instance based on which cities they would prefer to live in), and the hospitals each have preferences for which doctors they would like to work for them (for instance based on specialization or recommendations).
Versions of this problem are used, for instance, by the National Resident Matching Program to match American medical students to hospitals.
The lattice of stable matchings organizes this collection of solutions, for any instance of stable matching, giving it the structure of a distributive lattice.
The lattice of stable matchings is based on the following weaker structure, a partially ordered set whose elements are the stable matchings.
where formula_3 if and only if all doctors prefer matching formula_4 to matching formula_5: either they have the same assigned hospital in both matchings, or they are assigned a better hospital in formula_4 than they are in formula_5.
If the doctors disagree on which matching they prefer, then formula_5 and formula_4 are incomparable: neither one is formula_2 the other.
The same comparison operation can be defined in the same way for any two sets of elements, not just doctors and hospitals.
Swapping the roles of the doctors and hospitals reverses the ordering of every pair of elements, but does not otherwise change the structure of the partial order.
Define the best match of an element formula_23 of a stable matching instance to be the element formula_24 that formula_23 most prefers, among all the elements that can be matched to formula_23 in a stable matching, and define the worst match analogously.
For, suppose to the contrary that doctors formula_23 and formula_28 both have formula_24 as their best match, and that formula_24 prefers formula_23 to formula_28.
Then, in the stable matching that matches formula_28 to formula_24 (which must exist by the definition of the best match of formula_28), formula_23 and formula_24 would be an unstable pair, because formula_24 prefers formula_23 to formula_28 and formula_23 prefers formula_24 to any other partner in any stable matching.
It is a stable matching, because any unstable pair would also be unstable for one of the matchings used to define best matches.
The Gale–Shapley algorithm gives a process for constructing stable matchings, that can be described as follows: until a matching is reached, the algorithm chooses an arbitrary hospital with an unfilled position, and that hospital makes a job offer to the doctor it most prefers among the ones it has not already made offers to.
If the doctor is unemployed or has a less-preferred assignment, the doctor accepts the offer (and resigns from their other assignment if it exists).
When it terminates, the result is a stable matching, the one that assigns each hospital to its best match and that assigns all doctors to their worst matches.
It is not possible, for instance, for two doctors to have the same best choice and be matched to the same hospital in formula_45, for regardless of which of the two doctors is preferred by the hospital, that doctor and hospital would form an unstable pair in whichever of formula_5 and formula_4 they are not already matched in.
There cannot be a pair of a doctor and hospital who prefer each other to their match, because the same pair would necessarily also be an unstable pair for at least one of formula_5 and formula_4.
In this context, a finite lattice is defined as a partially ordered finite set in which there is a unique minimum element and a unique maximum element, in which every two elements have a unique least element greater than or equal to both of them (their join) and every two elements have a unique greatest element less than or equal to both of them (their meet).
In the case of the operations formula_45 and formula_46 defined above, the join formula_45 is greater than or equal to both formula_5 and formula_4 because it was defined to give each doctor their preferred choice, and because these preferences of the doctors are how the ordering on matchings is defined.
It is below any other matching that is also above both formula_5 and formula_4, because any such matching would have to give each doctor an assigned match that is at least as good.
Birkhoff's representation theorem states that any finite distributive lattice can be represented by a family of finite sets, with intersection and union as the meet and join operations, and with the relation of being a subset as the comparison operation for the associated partial order.
In the general form of Birkhoff's theorem, this partial order can be taken as the induced order on a subset of the elements of the lattice, the join-irreducible elements (elements that cannot be formed as joins of two other elements).
Suppose that two different stable matchings formula_5 and formula_4 are comparable and have no third stable matching between them in the partial order.
Then the set of pairs of elements that are matched in one but not both of formula_5 and formula_4 (the symmetric difference of their sets of matched pairs) is called a rotation.
Equivalently, the rotation can be described as the set of changes that would need to be performed to change the lower of the two matchings into the higher one (with lower and higher determined using the partial order).
It follows that for any rotation, the set of stable matchings that can be the higher of a pair connected by the rotation has a unique lowest element.
If the rotations are given the same partial ordering as their corresponding join-irreducible stable matchings, then Birkhoff's representation theorem gives a one-to-one correspondence between lower sets of rotations and all stable matchings.
The set of rotations associated with any given stable matching can be obtained by changing the given matching by rotations downward in the partial ordering, choosing arbitrarily which rotation to perform at each step, until reaching the bottom element, and listing the rotations used in this sequence of changes.
The stable matching associated with any lower set of rotations can be obtained by applying the rotations to the bottom element of the lattice of stable matchings, choosing arbitrarily which rotation to apply when more than one can apply.
Every pair formula_85 of elements of a given stable matching instance belongs to at most two rotations: one rotation that, when applied to the lower of two matchings, removes other assignments to formula_23 and formula_24 and instead assigns them to each other, and a second rotation that, when applied to the lower of two matchings, removes pair formula_85 from the matching and finds other assignments for those two elements.
This is because, for every finite distributive lattice formula_91, there exists a stable matching instance whose lattice of stable matchings is isomorphic to formula_91.
More strongly, if a finite distributive lattice has formula_93 elements, then it can be realized using a stable matching instance with at most formula_94 doctors and hospitals.
The lattice of stable matchings can be used to study the computational complexity of counting the number of stable matchings of a given instance.
From the equivalence between lattices of stable matchings and arbitrary finite distributive lattices, it follows that this problem has equivalent computational complexity to counting the number of elements in an arbitrary finite distributive lattice, or to counting the antichains in an arbitrary partially ordered set.
In a uniformly-random instance of the stable marriage problem with formula_95 doctors and formula_95 hospitals, the average number of stable matchings is asymptotically formula_1.
and us also upper-bounded by an exponential function of (significantly smaller than the naive factorial bound on the number of matchings).
The family of rotations and their partial ordering can be constructed in polynomial time from a given instance of stable matching, and provides a concise representation to the family of all stable matchings, which can for some instances be exponentially larger when listed explicitly.
If each pair of elements in a stable matching instance is assigned a real-valued weight, it is possible to find the minimum or maximum weight stable matching in polynomial time.
One possible method for this is to apply linear programming to the order polytope of the partial order of rotations, or to the stable matching polytope.
From the weights on pairs of elements, one can assign weights to each rotation, where a rotation that changes a given stable matching to another one higher in the partial ordering of stable matchings is assigned the change in weight that it causes: the total weight of the higher matching minus the total weight of the lower matching.
By the correspondence between stable matchings and lower sets of rotations, the total weight of any matching is then equal to the total weight of its corresponding lower set, plus the weight of the bottom element of the lattice of matchings.
The problem of finding the minimum or maximum weight stable matching becomes in this way equivalent to the problem of finding the minimum or maximum weight lower set in a partially ordered set of polynomial size, the partially ordered set of rotations.
This optimal lower set problem is equivalent to an instance of the closure problem, a problem on vertex-weighted directed graphs in which the goal is to find a subset of vertices of optimal weight with no outgoing edges.
The optimal lower set is an optimal closure of a directed acyclic graph that has the elements of the partial order as its vertices, with an edge from formula_99 to formula_100 whenever formula_101 in the partial order.
The closure problem can, in turn, be solved in polynomial time by transforming it into an instance of the maximum flow problem.
defines the regret of a participant in a stable matching to be the distance of their assigned match from the top of their preference list.
Then one can find the minimum-regret stable matching by a simple greedy algorithm that starts at the bottom element of the lattice of matching and then repeatedly applies any rotation that reduces the regret of a participant with maximum regret, until this would cause some other participant to have greater regret.
The elements of any distributive lattice form a median graph, a structure in which any three elements formula_5, formula_4, and formula_19 (here, stable matchings) have a unique median element formula_105 that lies on a shortest path between any two of them.
For the lattice of stable matchings, this median can instead be taken element-wise, by assigning each doctor the median in the doctor's preferences of the three hospitals matched to that doctor in formula_5, formula_4, and formula_19 and similarly by assigning each hospital the median of the three doctors matched to it.
More generally, any set of an odd number of elements of any distributive lattice (or median graph) has a median, a unique element minimizing its sum of distances to the given set.
For the median of an odd number of stable matchings, each participant is matched to the median element of the multiset of their matches from the given matchings.
For an even set of stable matchings, this can be disambiguated by choosing the assignment that matches each doctor to the higher of the two median elements, and each hospital to the lower of the two median elements.
The Alice Springs Beanie Festival (also called simply the Beanie Festival) is an annual, community based, four-day festival celebrating beanies in all their forms.
The Beanie Festival was started in 1997, on a much smaller scale, with a 'beanie party' designed to create a unique social-enterprise and it was the idea of Adi Dunlop.
The festival was inspired by the cold desert winters and existing popularity of beanies with Central Australian Aboriginal people who were already creating colourful and individual hand made creations.

Henry I of Brabant was the count of Leuven in the period that the city was still one of the most important cities.
In the Saint Peter's church of Leuven you can find his grave, together with that of his wife Mathilda van Boulogne and his daughter Maria of Brabant.
In 1235 the duke was commissioned by the German emperor Henry II of Hohenstaufen to accompany the imperial fiancée Isabella Plantagenet from England to Germany.
In addition, he lies on a high base, wears a long robe and the duke's cloak, and holds a scepter; his left hand plays with the cord of the mantle.
In addition to the tomb of Hendrik I van Brabant, there are also the tombs of his wife Mathilde van Boulogne and his daughter Maria van Brabant.
The bones of Hendrik I were dug up in 1929 and only a few decades later, namely in 1998, were they put back in the tomb.
In the meantime, the monument has been relocated and is back in its original place: in front of the high altar.
Anti-social Media Bill was introduced by the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on 5 November 2019 to criminalise the use of the social media in peddling false or malicious information.
It was sponsored by Senator Mohammed Sani Musa from the largely  conservative northern Nigeria with 85 per cent illiteracy with low internet penetration and social media activities.
After the bill passed second reading on the floor of the Nigeria Senate and its details were made public, information emerged on the social media accusing the sponsor of the bill of plagiarising a similar law in Singapore which is at the bottom of global ranking in the freedom of speech and of the press.
Angry reactions trailed the introduction of the bill, and a number of civil society organisations, human rights activists, and Nigerian citizens unanimously opposed the bill.
International rights group Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch condemned the proposed legislation saying it is aimed at gagging freedom of speech which is a universal right in a country of over two hundred million people.
Opposition political parties are very critical of the bill and accused the government of attempting to strip bare, Nigerian citizens of their rights to free speech and destroying same social media on whose power and influence the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC came to power in 2015.
Nigeria Information Minister, Lai Mohammed has been at the center of public criticism because he is suspected to be the brain behind the proposed act.
President Muhammad Buhari who is seen as the biggest beneficiary of the influence and power of the social media and free speech that is now termed hate speech has been mute about it.
In November 2019, the wife of the president, Aisha Buhari told a gathering at the Nigeria's National Mosque in the capital Abuja that if China with over one billion people could regulate the social media, Nigeria should do same.
Days later a daughter to the president, Zahra Indimi told a gathering of young people in Abuja that social media had become a potent weapon for bullying those they thought were doing better than them in terms of social class and called for a critical regulation.

Jan Rombouts (duchy of Brabant, circa 1475-1485 - 1535) was a painter from Leuven, Belgium who had started as a student of Dirk Bouts.
This double-sided painted panel, with representations from the life of Saint Catherine on the inside and a cross in grisaille on the outside, was made between 1525 and 1535.
He had Clemens arrested immediately for sorcery, this is shown centrally; Clemens is arrested, Sisinnius furiously raises his sword and Theodora tries to calm down her husband.
Legend has it that after Clement's arrest, Saint Peter appeared to Theodora - this can be seen in the background on the left.
On the right-hand side of the panel you can see how Clement was exiled a few years later by Emperor Trajan to an island in the Pontus, where many Christians were employed in the marble quarries.
The 2020 Liga 1, will be the fourth season of Liga 1 under its current name and the 11th season of the top-flight Indonesian professional league for association football clubs since its establishment in 2008.
The pre-season transfer window is opened between 1 January and 21 March 2020 while the mid-season transfer window will be opened between 20 July and 19 August 2020.
Eighteen teams will be competing in the league – the top fifteen teams from the previous season and the three teams promoted from the Liga 2.
Football Association of Indonesia restricted the number of foreign players to four per team, including one slot for a player from AFC countries.
In order to preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards.
For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 13, but then postponed and played between days 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for day 16.
The 2020 Liga 2 will be the fourth season of the Liga 2 under its current name and the 11th season under its current league structure.
Caesar is an evolved chimpanzee, the leader of the Ape Army, the king of the Ape Colony and the patriarch of the Royal Ape Family.
He is also the biological son of Alpha and Bright Eyes, the adoptive son of Will Rodman and Caroline Aranha, the adoptive grandson of Charles Rodman, the husband of Cornelia, and the father of Cornelius II (original series), Blue Eyes and Cornelius (reboot series).
Caesar later leads his fellow apes in a rebellion against abusive handlers and the police by unleashing the deadly ALZ-113 virus, which is dangerous to the human population, but not to the apes.
Caesar maintains dominance over his community of intelligent apes while also having to deal with the threat of war against human survivors, who had been pushed to near-extinction due to a pandemic known as the Simian Flu.
As the infant was feared to be the cause of the future where his parents originated, Milo was raised by circus owner Armando after Zira switched him with a young chimpanzee recently born to Armando's primitive chimpanzee, Heloise, prior to his parents' death by the action of the human Dr. Otto Hasslein.
As Hasslein killed the infant with Zira deposing of the body, Milo was assumed dead and was raised by Armando as a mute acrobat and was renamed Caesar.
Caesar is taken to a city for the first time and sees groups of apes being dispersed, chimps and orangutans being scolded or punished for honest mistakes or for exhibiting apelike behavior.
Armando attempts to convince the police that he was the one who spoke, but Caesar panics and runs away in the commotion with Armando deciding to have him join an arrival shipment of apes while he attempts to bluff his way out of trouble.
Passing his conditioning with flying colors, Caesar is held at an auction and is sold to Governor Breck and supervised by his African-American assistant Mr. MacDonald.
When Caesar learns that Armando died while in custody, he plots an ape revolt and convinces the other apes to join him.
But Caesar is belatedly traced, where he soon gets captured and then gets interrogated and tortured by Breck, who forces him to expose his identity as the offspring of Cornelius and Zira.
When Breck is about to execute Caesar, MacDonald excuses himself from the scene and turns off the breaker settings for the electroshock table, where Caesar pretends to be dead before he kills the handler and begins the revolt.
Within hours, the city is in flames, the police and military have been beaten down, and the apes are now in control.
Despite MacDonald's pleas to prevent further violence, Caesar declares that humanity will destroy itself and the apes will become the masters of the world, only to cease when Lisa musters the ability to speak, convincing Caesar not to condemn all of humanity.
Even though apes and humans are coexisting in peace, a gorilla named Aldo is the only one who opposes Caesar and despises the humans.
After learning who they are and about the eventual destruction of Earth, Caesar manages to escape the city when he, MacDonald and Virgil get attacked by a group of mutated, radiation-scarred humans led by Governor Kolp who have survived and are living in the city.
Meanwhile, Aldo plots to overthrow Caesar and have the gorillas take control of the ape-human village, where Caesar's son Cornelius eavesdrops on Aldo, who kills the young ape in the process.
Taking advantage of Caesar's grief and absence, Aldo has all the humans in the village imprisoned and raids the armory to prepare for battle against the mutated humans and to overthrow Caesar.
When Kolp and the mutated humans launch an attack on the village, Caesar and the apes manage to defeat and capture most of them, where Kolp and his remaining forces try to escape but they get killed by Aldo and his troops.
When Virgil reveals that Aldo has killed Cornelius, Caesar becomes furious and chases him up a tree, which results in Aldo falling to his death.
Realizing that apes are no different from humans, Caesar agrees with MacDonald that humans are to be treated as equals in order to coexist.
The movie is told as a flashback, where the beginning and ending scene takes place 600 years after Caesar's death and it shows the Lawgiver telling a story to a group of human and ape children.
He tells them the story about how Caesar fought a battle that solidified his position as ape leader and convinced him to give a joint ape-human society a chance, instead of one species dominating the other.
Screenwriter Paul Dehn stated that the tear on Caesar's statue at the end of the film was to tell the audience that Caesar's efforts ultimately failed.
Caesar is the main protagonist of the reboot series, sharing the previous version's compassionate nature while forbidding his followers from killing innocent humans and those who don't seek to harm them.
Developed by Will Rodman, ALZ-112 genetically increases Bright Eyes' intelligence that gets passed onto Caesar as he was still in his mother's womb.
When born, Caesar ends up orphaned after his mother gets killed trying to protect him, an action mistaken by lab security after she runs amok, which labels the experiment a failure.
Caesar is saved by sympathetic ape handler Franklin, after which Will smuggles the little ape out of the lab and takes him back home.
Caesar spends years getting raised and living with Will, displaying his enhanced intelligence and convincing his foster father that the ALZ-112 works.
Following an incident where he attacks their aggressive neighbor who threatens Will's dementia-suffering father Charles, Caesar is forced into an ape sanctuary where he is tormented by one of the caretakers while gradually taking command of the apes.
Caesar eventually proves smart enough when he breaks free from his cage, steals the ALZ-113, a stronger version of the intelligence-enhancing formula and releases it among the other captive apes.
in a confrontation with one of the caretakers, Caesar leads the apes out of the sanctuary as they recruit other captive apes from the zoo and from Gen-Sys, rallying them to escape San Francisco and make their way to the Muir Woods while violently clashing with the police.
Once in the Muir Woods, Caesar shares an emotional farewell with Rodman as he decides to live free among his own kind.
While assuming the humans to have died out, Caesar discovers that humans are still alive when he sees a group from the remnants of San Francisco entering their territory and personally warns them to stay out.
When the group's leader Malcolm explains they are trying to repair a dam to return power to the city, Caesar allows them to do their work.
Despite the successful repairing of the dam and the growing friendship between apes and humans, Koba, Caesar's companion who hates humans, becomes disillusioned with Caesar after seeing his leader's compassion and respect for the humans.
He attempts to kill Caesar, make it look like the humans did it and leads the apes into attacking the humans and their colony.
But Caesar considers the damage already done as he and his clan face a new enemy: a paramilitary group known as Alpha-Omega.
After a recent victory in the Muir Woods and in an attempt to make peace, Caesar spares the lives of Preacher and three soldiers and sends them back to Alpha-Omega's leader, the Colonel.
After the battle, Blue Eyes and Rocket return from a journey, where they have discovered a place within the desert that can be safe for the apes.
Later on, the Colonel launches an assault on the apes' home, where he kills Cornelia and Blue Eyes, leaving only Cornelius alive.
Leaving Cornelius in the care of Blue Eyes's mate Lake, Caesar departs to confront the Colonel, accompanied by Maurice, Luca and Rocket, while the other apes head for the desert.
During the journey, Caesar fears that he may end up like Koba after he unintentionally kills a traitor named Winter as he and the group are joined by a mute girl named Nova and an ape hermit named Bad Ape.
When he reaches Alpha-Omega's base, a former weapons depot that was turned into a relocation facility when the virus began to spread, Caesar discovers that his clan has been captured by the Colonel and he gets captured as well.
Witnessing his fellow apes being forced to build a wall, Caesar learns that the Colonel is fending off rival military forces who seek to execute him for slaughtering people who are infected with a new mutated strain of ALZ-113 that is making humans devolve into mute primitives.
While Caesar is tortured with starvation, Nova sneaks into the facility to give him food and water, where Rocket allows himself to be captured to create a distraction so that Nova can escape.
Together, with the help of Bad Ape and Maurice, Caesar and Rocket manage to free the apes from their cages and help them escape via an underground tunnel that leads out of the facility.
Caesar reaches the Colonel and spares his life upon realizing that he has succumbed to the infection and watches the human take his own life, who would rather die than become a primitive.
In a battle among Caesar's apes, Alpha-Omega and the military forces, Caesar manages to blow up the facility's fuel supply before joining the others in taking refuge when an oncoming avalanche wipes out the remaining soldiers.
With Caesar dying from a wound that Preacher inflicted on him, he accepts his end with grace and dies peacefully while Maurice promises Caesar that Cornelius will know who his father was, what he stood for and what he did to protect the apes.
Fans have embraced Caesar as one of the best film characters of the 2010's, as well as one of the most impressive displays of visual effects in cinema.

Heinrich Ferdinand Mannstein, real name Heinrich Ferdinand Steinmann, (16 September 1806 – 3 August 1872) was a German singing teacher, writer and music critic.
After some arguments at home, but also due to the general circumstances of his time, he finally joined the singing choir of the court theatre in Dresden in 1829.
Soon after took over and completed Mannstein's training as a singer, he left the stage for good to work as a singing teacher and writer.
His music-critical works are still today an important source for the history of music in Dresden in the middle of the 19th century and offer in this way deepened insights into the then cultivated musical practice.
As one of the first Gabelsberger students he was also a stenographer in the civil service of the royal Saxon chamber since 1839.

Louis Craine (born January 6, 1957 - November 3, 1989) was an American serial killer who committed of at least 4 rape-slayings in South Los Angeles, in the period between 1985 and 1987.
Since more than 100 women were killed, and it was later determined that at least 5 other serial killers operated in the area during the 1980s and 1990s (collectively known as The Southside Slayers), Craine was suspected of several more murders by the investigators.
Without a qualified profession, Craine was forced to engage in low-skilled labor over the next years, and changed several jobs in the construction industry.
She had been raped and sodomized before being strangled, her corpse found in an empty house, not far from where her parents, and Craine's brother, lived.
After finding the body, the police noticed Louis, who, due to the area being cordoned off, was watching their actions, behaving in an inappropriate manner.
He was arrested, taken to the police station and subjected to long hours of questioning, during which he confessed to the murder of Barney and two other girls: 24-year-old Loretta Perry (killed on January 25) and Vivian Collins (killed on March 18).
During interrogation, Craine claimed that Collins was murdered by his older brother Roger, together with whom Louis paid the girl for her services.
According to his version, his brother strangled the girl during sexual intercourse; however, relatives, including their mother, provided an alibi for Roger on the day of the murder, which resulted in no charges being brought up against him.
Subsequently, Craine was charged with the murder of two more girls: 24-year-old Gail Ficklin and 30-year-old Sheila Burton, who were killed on August 15, 1985 and November 18, 1984, respectively.
Their bodies were also found not far from where other victims' corpses had been located, all of whom were near the house where Craine's parents lived.
The main material evidence was a blood-stained shirt, the group of which coincided with the blood group of one of the victims, as well as testimonies from Craine's relatives, including his mother, who told the court that Louis had repeatedly expressed aggressive behavior towards prostitutes, and was spotted in a bloodied shirt after one of the murders.
Other evidence pointed to him as well, that being his confession of killing Loretta Perry - initially, it was believed that she had died from a drug overdose, but after Louis' testimony, her body was exhumed and subjected to a thorough pathological study, the results of which validated Craine's claims.
He refuted his testimony, stating that he had been pressured into confessing, and also stated that the bloodied shirt in which, according to his relatives, he had committed the murder, didn't even belong to him.
He accused his family of perjury, pointing out a motive for their act - personal hostility due to their long-term conflict.
The lawyers of the defendant insisted that on the basis of various tests, Craine showed signs of intellectual disability, with threshold of intelligence coefficient of 69 points, a tendency to exaggeration and high succeptibility to suggestions.
On May 16, 1989, by a jury verdict, he was found guilty of 4 murders and acquitted of Burton's killing, and on June 6 of that year, the court sentence him to death.
After his conviction, Craine was transferred to the San Quentin State Prison to serve his sentence, but due to health problems, he was taken to a prison hospital near the city of San Rafael, where he died on November 3, 1989, from AIDS complications.
The line from Altstätten Stadt (town) via Stoss to Gais—where there was a connection to the line of the St. Gallen-Gais-Appenzell-Altstätten-Bahn (St. Gallen-Gais-Appenzell-Altstätten Railway) to St. Gallen—was opened on 18 November 1911 and operated with three CFe 3/3 class railcars.
The three rack sections with a total of 3264 metres in length are located between Altstätten and Stoss, while the rest of the line to Gais is an adhesion railway.
The short link along Marktgasse established a connection to the Rathaus–Bahnhof SBB line of the Altstätten–Berneck tramway, opened in 1897 and operated by the Altstätten-Berneck-Bahn (ABB), which in turn was replaced in 1940 by the Altstätten–Berneck Trolleybus.
In 1953, the catenary voltage was increased to 1500 volts, so that the then new ABDeh 4/4 6 to 8 railcars could operate freely on the whole SGA network.
Until the final closure of the Altstätten SBB–Altstätten Stadt section on 31 May 1975, the SGA trains continued to operate over this section.

The 2020 Inter-County Under-20 Football Championship will be the 57th edition of the competition, and the third since the competition was re-graded from Under 21 to Under 20.
At the start of the championship footballers aged under 20 cannot play for both their county's senior and under-20 championship teams.
Once a county's senior team exits the senior championship all of their under-20 players are then eligible to play for the county under-20 team.
This rule was introduced to prevent player burnout and avoid scheduling conflicts when the senior and under-20 championships are played in the same summer months as both county teams have distinct panels of players.
The four provincial winners play in two All-Ireland Under-20 Football Semi-finals, with the winners of those matches playing in the All-Ireland Final.
Friedrich Wilhelm Albrecht (15 October 1894 - 16 March 1984) was a Lutheran missionary and pastor who was the superintendent at Hermannsburg Mission in Central Australia from 1926 - 1952 where he made a significant contribution.
Albrecht was born on 15 October 1894 at Pławanice in Poland to Ferdinand and Helene Albrecht and is the eldest of there 10 children.
Albrecht initially attended the local village school before he moved to study and live at the Hermannsburg Mission, in Germany, in 1913 and he graduate in 1924.
World War I did interrupt his studies and, due to a childhood injury making him lame in one leg, Albrecht served in the German medical corps on the Russian front.
After completing his studies he received a call to work at Hermannsburg Mission, 125kms from Alice Springs, but before he could begin he received English tuition in the United States.
Minna Maria Margaretha Gevers, who Albrecht met in Germany, followed him there and they married in Winnipeg, Canada on 14 September 1925.
In South Australia, at Nuriootpa, Albrecht was ordained as a pastor in the United Evangelical Lutheran Church of Australia on 14 February 1926.
Albrecht reached Hermannsburg on 16 April 1926 where he was the replacement for Carl Strehlow who had died unexpectedly in October 1922.
Albrecht's first priority after arriving at the mission was to learn Arrernte and he was assisted in this by Moses Tjalkabota Uraikuria, an Arrernte man of high degree and Christian evangelist, who served as a teacher and guide to the missionaries at Hermannsburg (and T.G.H.
Albrecht arrived in Hermannsburg during a period of extreme drought and their had already been thoughts of closure; between 1926 - 1929 it is recorded that 41 of the 51 children born at the mission died and this ill health also affected Albrecht's family with his infant daughter Helene weighing less at four then she had at two.
Spurned on by this tragedy Albrecht advocated for the construction of the Kuprilya Springs Pipeline, which the Lutheran Mission Board refused to support, and he ultimately received the funds required from artists Jessie Traill and Una and Violet Teague.
The completion of this pipeline, and the associated fresh fruit and vegetables they were able to grow, infant mortality decreased significantly.
Because of these views Albrecht removed and disposed of the Tjurunga in the sacred Manangananga Cave; Carl Strehlow, who shared Albrecht's beliefs had always acknowledged the importance of this site and the sacred objects and had left it untouched.
A part of this in action was his work with Charles Duguid and T.G.H Strehlow to establish Aboriginal settlements like Areyonga and Yuendumu.
He was also instrumental in establishing the arts and crafts industry in Hermannsburg as a way for the community to make money, especially when tourists began arriving in the 1930s.
Albrecht also operated the mission as a working cattle station and established a tannery; the hides of which were used for leather-work products.
In this Chess Olympiad he made one of the most ridiculous blunder in the history of chess: in the game with the Argentine chess player Palau after moves 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3.

Duruflé, who was organist in at Saint-Étienne-du-Mont in Paris and also director of the Gregorian Institute of Paris, set the Lord's Prayer in French as for liturgical use.
Both versions were published by Éditions Durand, dedicated to his wife, Marie-Madeleine Duruflé, the unison version in 1977 and the choral version in 1978.
Like chant, it is in free motion and with narrow ambitus, and the beginning uses the same notes as the chant melody.
It is written in reverential approach to the prayer, with a subtle treatment of harmony used to interpret the significant text in homophony.
The composition is in F major, mostly in triple meter but shifting to 2/4 time when the natural flow of the text demands it.
At Hell's Pass Hospital, Sheila's doctor tells her sons Kyle and Ike that Sheila has a bacterial infection called C-diff, causing the beneficial bacteria in her stomach to be overrun by malignant bacteria, and that she needs a fecal transplant to replace her microbiome.
After the transplant, Sheila extols the beneficial health effects of the procedure to her friends Laura Tucker, Harriet Biggle, and Linda Stotch, much to the embarrassment of her sons.
Consulting a video on how to prevent ridicule over such a thing, Kyle is horrified to learn that microorganisms comprise half of the cells in his body.
At night he dreams of the life forms, and the image of a bookcase that causes him to awaken with a start.
Sheila's friends tell her that they would like to undergo a fecal transplant, but that their doctors would only prescribe the procedure for medical reasons, and ask her to donate a stool sample so they can perform the procedure themselves at home.
Stan, Cartman, and Kenny sneak into the Broflovski's basement and access the soil pipe while Sheila uses the toilet, stealing her feces, much to the anger of Kyle, who catches them in the act.
Kyle consults his doctor to complain about microbiome swapping, and wonders if people with ideal health profiles like Tom Brady will become targets of those wanting such transplants.
Harriet praises the fecal transplant procedure's benefits to her friends, having performed an at-home transplant with a turkey baster, but refuses to tell Sheila where she got the stool sample from.
At a post-game press conference, the press repeatedly ask Brady for a stool sample, which he says he will not give or sell to anyone.
As Kyle's dreams about the microbiome continue, he again is haunted by visions of the bookcase, and develops the ability to see the microorganisms covering his body when awake.
At another shared meal, Harriet, ill and covered in vomit stains, confronts her friends and angrily accuses Sheila of tainting her feces in some way to sabotage her transplant.
As Hell's Pass Hospital fills with local citizens suffering from C-diff, a doctor tells police detective Harrison Yates that the outbreak began at the restaurant where patrons became infected by Sheila's friends.
He explains that because the turkey basters they used for their transplants are only used once a year at Thanksgiving, they spend the rest of the year collecting bacteria.
He then says the hospital is out of healthy donor feces and that enough healthy feces could not be harvested in time to give all the patients transplants, predicting that half of South Park will die.
Brady demands everyone leave, but Kyle appears and leads everyone to Brady's living room bookcase, which he reveals to be a secret door to a hidden room where Brady keeps his jarred feces.

Blanche-Augustine Camus (27 October 1884 – 1968) was a French neo-impressionist painter, associated with the style of Divisionism, noted for her luminous landscapes and gardens of the south of France, often combined with graceful outdoor portraits of her family and friends.
Born in Paris, she studied at the Académie Julian and the École des Beaux-Arts from 1902 to 1908 with Tony Robert-Fleury, Jules Joseph Lefebvre and Adolphe Déchenaud.
She first exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1911, winning the gold medal in 1920, and continuing until 1939.
She moved to Saint-Tropez in 1908 and from then on mostly worked in southern France, where she was associated with Henri-Jean Guillaume Martin and André Dunoyer de Segonzac.
Throughout her life she remained close to her sister, and after their father's death in 1915, the sisters explored the Pyrénées, and joined expeditions around the Mediterranean region including Turkey.
Paintings by the artist are held by the Museum of Fine Arts and Archeology of Besançon, Musée Denon in Chalon-sur-Saône, Musée de la Chartreuse de Douai, Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nice and Musée des Beaux-Arts de Pau.

Project Fresson is the development by Cranfield Aerospace of an electric propulsion system for the over 700 BN-2 Islanders currently operated, supported by Britten-Norman.
It is proposed for Scottish airline Loganair which operate the few minutes long flights to the Orkney Islands' six airfields, including the world's shortest, the Westray to Papa Westray flight scheduled for 1.5 min.
Less noisy, the kit could be modified for similar-size aircraft and could be used for parachuting depending on the charging speed.
Approved by the EASA, Cranfield built the X-48 blended wing body scale-model for NASA, and works with Airbus and Rolls-Royce to develop the hybrid E-Fan X converted BAe 146 demonstrator.
Cranfield wants to develop a STC with off-the-shelf parts: current batteries would give it a 30 min endurance, sufficient for most island flights, and more with a range extender.
By avoiding Avgas and with the lower maintenance of the simpler system, operators could attain a return on investment in 2–3 years with additional investment for charging infrastructure.
To back the development, Cranfield applied for UK government grants through the Aerospace Technology Institute and UK Research and Innovation, and approached private enterprises.
Led by Cranfield Aerospace Solutions (CAeS), Project Fresson (named after Scottish pioneer aviator Ted Fresson) started on 1 October 2019, to fly a demonstrator within 30 months before an EASA STC within another 6-12 months.
Partners include Britten-Norman, Rolls-Royce plc for the power management system, Denis Ferranti for the electric motors, Delta Motorsport for the battery pack, and Warwick Manufacturing Group for battery testing.
It targets a 60 min endurance plus 30 min reserves and with energy five times cheaper than Avgas and reduced maintenance, the conversion cost could be recovered in three years.
After that, CAeS wants to convert an existing 19-seat airliner to hybrid-electric propulsion, then use this EASA-certified power train in a new-design 19-seat.
Rolls-Royce may evolve the design into a series hybrid with a M250 turboshaft instead of the twin piston engines, before powering 19-seat commuter airliner.

Rory Feely (born 3 January 1997) is an Irish professional footballer who plays for League of Ireland Premier Division club, St Patrick's Athletic, in his second spell at the club where he started his professional career, having also previously spent 2 seasons at Waterford.
His performances at the Kennedy Cup earned him a move to League of Ireland Champions St Patrick's Athletic in 2014, where he started playing with the Under 19 side.
His first season was a success with Pat's winning the Under 19 SSE Airtricity League with a 3–2 win over Derry City under 19's in the final at Maginn Park, with Feely getting himself on the scoresheet.
The team included several players that broke through to the Pat's first team and beyond in the League of Ireland and English Football Leagues, including Jamie McGrath, Darragh Markey, Jack Bayly, Fuad Sule, Paul Rooney and JJ Lunney.
Feely's first involement with the first team at St Patrick's Athletic came on the 9th September 2014 when he came off the bench for the last 5 minutes of the 2014 Leinster Senior Cup Final, which saw his side win 2–1 to claim the trophy and Feely's first medal at senior level.
His first senior league appearance came on the 17th October 2014 when he replaced Killian Brennan in the 72nd minute of a 2–0 defeat to Athlone Town at Richmond Park.
He did not feature in the first team in 2015 due to his heavy involvement with the clubs Under 19's side and also Kildare GAA Minors.
His next involement with the first team came in pre-season 2016, when manager Liam Buckley decided that he would convert Feely from a Right Winger to a Centre Back and his next appearance came in February 2016, coming off the bench in a 3–1 defeat away to Bray Wanderers in the Leinster Senior Cup.
Feely's first career goal at senior level came on the 18th April 2016, when he scored the winner in extra time away to Dundalk in the League Cup.
His first ever League of Ireland goal came in a 1–1 draw with Galway United on the 14th April 2017, when he powered home a header from a Conan Byrne corner.

Having played a handfull of games at Right back for St Patrick's Athletic the previous season, Waterford manager Alan Reynolds deemed it to be Feely's best position, making him his first choice in that position, as he made his debut on the opening night of the season in a 2–1 win over Derry City at the RSC.
Along with his 2 goals, Feely made 34 appearances in all competitions for Waterford in his debut season at the club, as they finished in 4th place.

The season turned out to be a dissapointment for the club as they finished in 6th place, but on a personal level it was a success for Feely as he featured in 40 games, scored 2 goals and was named as Waterford's Player of the Year after another impressive year for the Right back.
On the 19th November 2019, it was announced that Feely had resigned for St Patrick's Athletic under new manager Stephen O'Donnell.

The martyrdom of Saint Erasmus by Dieric Bouts is, in addition to The Last Supper, a second work by the artist in the Saint Peter's church in Leuven.
Historian Huizinga uses the term 'dermwinderken' for the Erasmus triptych, because the central panel shows how, according to legend, the intestines of Saint Erasmus were pulled out of his body with the help of a windlass.
Erasmus undergoes this without betraying any emotion; the executioners carry out their duties seriously and Emperor Diocletian and his three companions, who attend the event, appear to be in a meditative state just as the saints on the side panels.
On the side panels two persons are depicted, on the left is the church father Jerome and on the right is Bernard of Clairvaux, the founder of the Cistercian Order.
They are, respectively, depicted with a lion who has rid Jerome of a thorn in his leg; and a devil who lies at the feet of Bernard and symbolizes the torments that the saint has resisted.
Instead of bringing the narrative aspects and horror of the legend of Saint Erasmus to the fore, Bouts sought to emphasize the holiness of Erasmus, Jerome and Bernard and to present them as protectors and as objects of devotion.
Some see the image of the three saints as a tribute to the three forms of holiness: Erasmus, the martyr, Hieronymus, the scholar, and Bernard, the mystic.

Because six of the schools had previously been in ECAC Northeast it caused a realignment within that conference which caused the four Division II schools to formally leave and form Northeast-10's ice hockey division along with two schools from ECAC East.
The two teams from ECAC East were members of both conferences from 2009 until 2017 when they left the ECAC East (by then called the New England Hockey Conference).
Because the six teams that comprised the conference already played a tournament and there were no other extant Division II programs (Minnesota–Crookston downgraded its program after 2009) the National Tournament was not restarted.

She came from the actors family Krüger-Demmer and died at the age of 30 after a successful stage career in Vienna lasting only 15 years.
Kneisel-Demmer was active from 1817 to 1824 as a singer at the Theater am Kärntnertor and from 1824 to 1826 as an actress at the Hofburgtheater.
Among other things she played in Raimund's ' the role of the stone-breaker-wife Mirzel and in 1831 the chamber maid Linda in ', as well as with Nestroy in February 1832 the widow Adelheid in ' and in March of this year the kitchengretl Roselheid in '.
In the choir of the St. Peter's Church in Leuven is a twelve-meter high sacrament tower designed by architect Matheus de Laeyens from 1450.
This design was no exception: for this reason doors are provided on the choir side and in the direction of the two northern chapel chapels, which the Brotherhood of the Holy Sacrament was given in 1432 from the chapter of Saint Peter.
The tower in St. Peter's Church was built between 1537 and 1539 and this makes it the oldest preserved sacrament tower in Belgium.
In addition to these, six others were once found in Leuven, namely in the churches of Sint-Jacob, Saint Quentin (two copies), Park Abbey, Sint-Geertrui Abbey and in the Celestine Monastery in Heverlee.
In Flemish Brabant there are still a few sacrament towers from the 16th and 17th centuries that can be seen, especially in Zoutleeuw, Zuurbemde and Diest.
The structure of the sacrament tower consists of an open landing as a base, with the actual tabernacle above it and then reliefs with the passion of Christ and finally a richly elaborated tower crown.
It contained reliefs depicting passion scenes, but all but one were lost, just like the apostle figures who stood around the tabernacle.
The only remaining original fragment is the Grace Chair, in which a throning God the Father supports the dead body of his Son.
The theme of the mercy seat is represented three more times in St. Peter's Church, namely on the back of the right side panel of the Edelheeretriptiek (1443), and in the burial monuments of Michaël Scribaens (circa 1504) and Adolf van Baussele (circa 1559).
The twelve apostles are depicted in the niches on the corner supports: they were witnesses to the establishment of the sacrament of the Eucharist.
The International Rules Series is a senior men's competition played under the laws of international rules football, a hybrid sport combining elements of Gaelic football and Australian rules football.
Though the first Australian Football World Tour took place in 1967, it wasn't until 1984 that the first organised series sanctioned by the two governing bodies occurred.
The four series that took place from 1984 to 1990 featured three test matches each, with the winning nation being the one to secure at least two victories.
Since 1998 each series has been played over two matches, with the winning nation being the one to score the highest amount on aggregate over the two tests.
So 2.9.7 (46) means 2 goals, 9 overs and 7 behinds; 2(6) + 9(3) + 7(1) = 12 + 27 + 7 = 46 points in total.
An under-17 boys series was contested by the nations until it was abandoned in 2006, and a solitary women's series was played in Ireland in 2006.
An under 17 boys series is believed to been played yearly since 1996, though results for only these three tours are known.
Republic of Sudan v. Harrison, 587 U.S. ___ (2019), was a United States Supreme Court case from the October 2018 term.
The Court held that civil service of a lawsuit against the government of Sudan was invalid because the civil complaints and summons had been sent to the embassy of Sudan in DC rather than to the Sudanese Foreign Minister in Khartoum.
This case is notable because it arose out of the bombing of the USS Cole, a terrorist attack perpetrated by al Qaeda in 2000.
The United States federal government's decision to file a friend of the court brief supporting Sudan against a lawsuit filed by injured United States service members also sparked controversy.
In October 2000, the USS Cole, a United States Navy destroyer, was attacked by suicide bombers in the port of Aden in Yemen.
Though the attack was attributed to the terrorist group al Qaeda, family members of the slain sailors filed a lawsuit against the government of Sudan, accusing it of complicity and providing material support to the attackers.
Foreign governments are generally immune from lawsuits in United States courts; however, an exception exists under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976.
In addition, the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act of 2016 allows for punitive damages against state sponsors of terrorism, and can be applied retroactively to incidents that took place before the law was enacted.
In July 2004, family members of the sailors filed a lawsuit against Sudan for more than $100 million, alleging the Sudanese government provided support to the attackers and were complicit in the deaths of their relatives on the USS Cole.
Though the doctrine of sovereign immunity generally bars lawsuits against foreign governments in US courts, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act creates an exception for countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism.
In March 2007, the district court found in favor of the sailors' families, ruling that Sudan was liable for the USS Cole attack after a two-day bench trial.
The families sought up to $105 million in damages, but the damages were reduced to $13.4 million ($8 million in compensatory damages as well as $5.4 million in interest) as a result of the Death on the High Seas Act, which limited damages by disallowing emotional distress claims.
In 2010, a second lawsuit was filed against Sudan by 15 injured sailors and their families, seeking compensatory damages as well as punitive damages, which are permitted retroactively under the 2008 Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA).
The complaint and civil summons were filed at the Sudanese embassy in Washington, DC, where they were accepted by a staffer at the embassy.
In 2012, the plaintiffs in this suit prevailed in a default judgment and were awarded close to $315 million in compensatory and punitive damages following Sudan's failure to appear.
Sudan then appealed the decision to United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in 2014, claiming that proper procedures were not followed in serving the initial complaint in the 2010 case.
Solicitor General Erica Ross appeared on behalf of the United States government, presenting the United States's perspective in support of Sudan.
In an 8-to-1 vote, the Supreme Court ruled that the plaintiffs failed to comply with the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FISA) when they sent their complaint and civil summons to the Sudanese embassy in DC rather than directly to the Sudanese Foreign Minister in Khartoum.
Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito ruled that the most 'natural' reading of the text of the FSIA was that the civil process had to be made directly to the foreign minister's office in the foreign state, and that the correct address for the foreign minister was the location that the foreign minister lived or worked—not the embassy.
Alito's opinion also noted that this interpretation is consistent with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations as well as the United States's own policy of not accepting service at American embassies when the US government is sued overseas.
In his dissenting opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas stated that, in the absence of an indication to the contrary, an embassy should be appropriate places to serve legal paper's to that country's foreign minister.
The plaintiffs were however permitted to file suit again, either by serving the papers directly to the Sudanese foreign minister in Khartoum or asking the United States Secretary of State to do so via diplomatic channels.
Its facade presents the characteristic typology of manor houses of Gran Canaria, in which a stone frame joins the main door with a window located, with windowsill and cornice as decoration.
The quarry frame has been painted the same color as the cloth of the facade, an aesthetic decision that doesn't reflect traditional construction.
In addition, in 2019 a bank of contemporary architectural style was built in front of the house, which contributes to the loss of the place's cultural context.
When cornering, the typological contrast between the secondary facade facing the west (with a wide wall whose only decoration is two rows of windows and the frontis that obeys the neoclassical taste of the openings perfectly arranged in their placement, as well as in the stonework frames that surround them and the elegant cornice that crowns the building on its side of the old street of La Cruz.

The triumphal cross in the Saint Peter's church in Leuven was made between 1490 and 1500 by, presumably, the workshop of the Brussels sculptor Jan Borman.
The chapel in which the triumphal cross is located is the oldest preserved in Leuven, with various but unconfirmed attributions concerning authorship - it has already been attributed to Matthijs de Layens, Jan II Borreman, Jan de Messemaker, Hendrik van Evergem, ...
The balance of expressiveness in draping and nuance in the posture of the figures also leads to the suspicion that it was made by Jan Borman, a well-known and appreciated image cutter.
Mary turns her face away from the cross, as if she can no longer tolerate the view, but John cannot keep his eyes off it.
At the bottom the ensemble rests on a wooden supporting structure that is divided into three arcades, each of these arcades contains a figure, these are from left to right: Gregory, Peter and Jerome.
Dr. Bambang Hero Saharjo is an Indonesian fire forensics specialist and Professor of the Environment and Forest Fires at Bogor Agricultural University.

Phra Ruang () is a legendary figure from Thai history, usually described as the founder of the first Thai kingdom who freed the people from the rule of the ancient Khmer Empire.
A common version of the Phra Ruang legend is that he was a Thai chieftain of Lavo (Lopburi) with supernatural powers of speech.
The Thais had to deliver water to the Khom (Khmer) capital as tax, and Phra Ruang used his powers to make bamboo baskets waterproof so that they could be used to carry the water instead of heavy clay jars.
One of the best known is a 1917 play by King Vajiravudh (Rama VI), who explained the supernatural powers as acts of Phra Ruang's great wit.

The stolen items include the 49-carat Dresden White Diamond, the diamond-laden breast star of the Polish Order of the White Eagle which belonged to the King of Poland, a hat clasp with a 16-carat diamond, a diamond epaulette, and a diamond-studded hilt containing nine large and 770 smaller diamonds, along with a matching scabbard.
The missing items were of great cultural value to the State of Saxony and were described as priceless; other sources estimate the total value at about €1 billion.
The heist took place at the Green Vault () in Dresden, Germany, one of the oldest museums in Europe, founded in 1723 by Augustus II the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland.
At the time of the heist, it displayed about 4,000 items of jewellery and other treasures which were decorated with gold, silver, ivory, pearl, and other precious metals and stones.
One of the museum's main treasures, the 41-carat Dresden Green Diamond, was away on loan at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
On 25 November at 4 a.m. a small fire was started on the nearby Augustus Bridge, which destroyed a power box.
The thieves were not able to take all of the pieces from the three jewellery sets; some jewellery was sewn into the surface of the cabinet and those pieces remained.
Security guards stationed at the museum followed protocol after the heist was discovered and did not engage with the robbers, as the guards were unarmed.
One of the stolen pieces was a small sword, described as an épée made of silver and gold with a hilt of nine large and seven hundred and seventy smaller diamonds.
Also believed to be stolen is a diamond hat clasp comprising 15 large diamonds and more than 100 small ones, the largest being a 16-carat diamond, that was made in the 1780s and worn by Frederick Augustus III.
An Order of the White Eagle breast star by the diamond-cutter Jean Jacques Pallard, made up of a 20-carat diamond at its centre and a Maltese cross of red rubies, was also taken.
Marion Ackermann, director of Dresden State Art Collections, said that it was impossible to estimate the price of the stolen items due to their historic cultural value.
The first police car was called to the building at 4:59 a.m. arriving five minutes later, but by that time the suspects had escaped.
The police believe there were four thieves and that they fled in an Audi A6; an identical vehicle was later found on fire in an underground parking lot.
The General Director of Dresden's state art collections told reporters that the stolen jewels cannot be sold on the art market legally as they were too well known to collectors.

The Catholic Students Mission Crusade (CSMC), was a mission education organization, founded in 1918 by two Society of Divine Word seminarians, Clifford J.
King and Robert B. Clark, who wanted to establish an organization similar to the highly successful Protestant Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions that John Mott had founded.
The first meeting took place in 1918 at Techny, outside Chicago, Illinois, with over 100 clergy, seminarians, laity and a few bishops attending.
The organization grew quickly under the leadership of Frank A. Thill, its national director who later became Bishop of Salinas, Kansas in 1938.
Thill edited the organization's national magazine, The Shield, and traveled the country challenging students to imitate the zeal and dedication of the medieval Crusaders for their faith.
In the next decade, it began compiling U.S. Catholic missionary statistics and in the 1950s it drew on the experience and knowledge of member mission societies to produce Fundamentals of Missiology and Perspectives in Religion and Culture.
At biennial national conventions, except during World War II, several thousand youth and adult leaders rallied for a summer conference, where they listened to talks by missionaries, walked through large-as-life mission displays, and took part in liturgical services aimed at inspiring young people to read, support missionaries in prayer and to consider a mission vocation themselves.
Locally the CSMC was conducted in school units on the junior and senior high school level, as well as in colleges and seminaries.
The units used the many audio-visual resources produced by the national office in Cincinnati, Ohio, and attempted to infuse a mission spirit throughout the schools.
For half a century, the Catholic Student Mission Crusade became one of the most effective and pervasive mission education and promotion programs.
In the summer of 1541, Ōuchi's Shirai sea lords led an attack against the Noshima, Kurushima, and Innoshima, reaching a standstill in the winter months.
A countersuit was brought by the Noshima, and the merchants acknowledged their toll rights on all ships apart from those coming from south Kyushu.
In the 1540s, a minor branch of the family based on the nearby Nakatoshima island launched a challenge over house leadership.
From 1579 until 1582, they worked for the Mori clan to block the Inland Sea from any of Oda Nobunaga's ships.
However, they later entered into negotiations with the Oda, sending Nobunaga a baby hawk, which was a symbol of loyal service.
In the 1520s, the Hosokawa recognized Noshima control over Shiwaku, where they developed it into a way station for travellers and sailors.
The Nosima were generous in the travel passes that they gave, bestowing them to Matsura lords from Hirado Domain, harbour officials from Akamagaseki, shipping organizations from Kii Province, and traveling Jesuits.
The Noshima leader at the time was Murakami Takeyoshi, and flying their flag was often seen as the only way to avoid safety at sea.
The Noshima created a maritime toll road using ships: the protection against interlopers and rival companies possibly persuaded merchants to remain within the boundaries.

Julia Salter Earle (1878-1945) was born September 20, 1878 in St. John’s, Newfoundland, the twelfth child of Elizabeth Brown Chancey and William Thomas Hall Salter.
Salter Earle worked in paid employment as an engrossing clerk for the Newfoundland Legislative Assembly, preparing in script writing every law passed by the legislature.
Her paid work gave Salter Earle a wide knowledge of the laws in Newfoundland, and supported her efforts with labour unions, in politics and community organizations.
This union represented women workers in clothing, cordage and shoe factories, among others, who were seeking better working conditions and wages, issues that had been ignored in Newfoundland.
On 21 April, 1921, Salter Earle and Edward J. Whitty, executive member of the Newfoundland Industrial Workers Association (NIWA), led a march of unemployed workers through downtown St. John's to the House of Assembly.
A second march on 13 May 1921 challenged the promises of relief made by government; Salter Earle argued their efforts were not sufficient to address the plight of unemployed women and men.
In 1925, Salter Earle ran for a council seat as a local labour candidate in the St. John’s municipal election, one of three women challenging for a seat.
Although not successful in formal politics, Julia Salter Earle remained a strong supporter of those in need, sometimes giving food from her own table to the hungry who came to her door.
She carried her concern for others into the Women’s Association of Cochrane Street Methodist Church and the Old Colony Club, previously known as the Ladies Reading Room and Current Events Club, a group of prominent women who focused on the child welfare movement and women’s enfranchisement.

The film stars Philippe-Audrey Larrue-St-Jacques as Yves, a hockey player who failed at the National Hockey League level and has been reduced to playing amateur hockey in La Malbaie, Quebec.
After being sidelined by an injury that has prevented him from playing in the national championship tournament in Thunder Bay, Ontario, he enlists his younger cousin Jean-Philippe (Justin Leyrolles-Bouchard), who also loves hockey but aspires to be a sports agent rather than a player, to drive him on a road trip to the tournament in an attempt to reclaim his rightful glory on the ice.
According to Biron, the film was made with the intention of exploring the life trajectory of the many hockey players who don't make it to the big leagues rather than the relatively few who do.
They followed the tradition of the 19th century but combined it with the modern styles of the era, mainly surrealism and constructivism.
Inés María de Borbón-Dos Sicilias y Borbón-Parma, Duchess of Syracuse (born 18 February 1940) is a Spanish princess, the youngest child of Infante Alfonso, heir to the throne of the Two Sicilies, and Infanta Alicia.
In 1978, she became the first member of the Spanish royal family to go through legal divorce, after gaining permission from her cousin King Juan Carlos I and the then Pope, John Paul II.
Princess Inés was, at the time of her birth, 9th in line of succession to the Spanish throne and as of January 2011, she is also number 2,278 in line of succession to the British throne.
The last of three children and the second daughter of Infante Alfonso de Borbón-Dos Sicilias y de Borbón (1901–1964) and Princess Alicia of Bourbon-Parma (1917–2017), she was born during her parents' exile from republican Spain in Lausanne, Switzerland.
As the elder son of Prince Carlo of Bourbon-Two Sicilies by Mercedes, Princess of Asturias (1880-1904), the eldest child of Alfonso XII of Spain, Alfonso had been heir presumptive to the Spanish throne between the death in childbirth of his mother and the birth in May 1907 of a son to his mother's brother, King Alfonso XIII.
If Mateu Morral’s attempt to assassinate King Alfonso XIII of Spain had succeeded, Infante Alfonso (Princess Inés's father) would have become at that moment the King of Spain.
Princess Inés was forbidden marriage with Luis de Morales y Aguado, a Granedian who was not a royal prince by birth.
After the death of her father in 1964, and with persistence, she eventually married, in a ceremony that took place in San Jeronimo del Real, the 30th January 1965.
Both her cousin Prince Juan Carlos and his wife Princess Sofía attended, as well as the most distinguished Gotha of Francoist Spain.
Under the traditional succession laws of the Kingdom of Navarre, Ines's mother Infanta Alicia, born a Princess of Bourbon-Parma, was the claimant to that throne, which was formally united with the Kingdom of France in the seventeenth century.
She was also the closest known genealogical representative of King Edward the Confessor, and the direct genealogical representative of King David I of Scotland.
It was also shown at San Diego Black Film Festival, Pan African Film Festival, Fespaco and Seattle International Film Festival 2013.
Nicholas Everard Morant (29 June 1910 – 13 March 1999) was a Canadian photographer famed for producing iconic images of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Morant was the special photographer of the Canadian Pacific from 1929 until 1935, and then again from 1944 until his retirement in 1981.
One of Morant's favourite shooting locations is located in the Canadian Rockies East of Lake Louise, Alberta where the CPR mainline parallels the Bow River.
His images were not only used in promotional material for the railway but also were used subsequently in Canadian currency and postage stamps.
This included the Canadian $10 bill of the 1954 series, featuring of a scene of Emerald Lake and Mount Burgess in Yoho National Park photographed by Morant and engraved by Harry P. Dawson.
The $100 Canadian bill of the 1954 series featured an image of Okanagan Lake captured by Morant in 1947 and engraved by William Ford.
The final image of Morant's to appear on Canadian currency was an engraving based on a photograph of Moraine Lake in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, which was featured on the $20 bill from the 1969 Scenes of Canada banknote series.
As he worked for the majority of his career as a commercial photographer, relatively few of his images appear to be presently in the public domain.
However, the Canadian Pacific Railway archives maintains over 12,000 images captured by Morant over the course of his career, and the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies maintains the Nicholas Morant Fonds, which contains over 50,000 photographs by or of Morant, as well as numerous negatives, scrapbooks, and sound recordings.
In 1990, Morant was invested as a Member of the Order of Canada in honour of his valuable contributions to Canadian heritage and culture.

The Ohio State University abuse scandal centered on allegations of sexual abuse that occurred between 1978 and 1998, while Dr. Richard Strauss was employed by The Ohio State University (OSU) in the Athletics Department and in the Student Health Center.
An independent investigation into the allegations was announced in April 2018, conducted by the law firm Perkins Coie; the report, released in May 2019, concluded that Dr. Strauss abused at least 177 male student-patients and that OSU was aware of the abuse as early as 1979, but the abuse was not widely known outside of Athletics or Student Health until 1996, when he was suspended from his duties.
Dr. Richard Strauss received his medical degree from the University of Chicago in 1964 and interned at the associated hospital system until June 1965.
Afterwards, he served as a Lieutenant in the Medical Corps of the United States Navy from 1966 through 1968 and received an honorable discharge.
He then took a two-year post-doctoral fellowship at the School of Medicine at the University of Washington until 1970, then worked as an assistant professor of physiology at both the University of Pennsylvania (1970–72) and the University of Hawaii (1972–74).
After Hawaii, Strauss worked as a medical resident at Rutgers University (1974–75) and as a research fellow at Harvard Medical School (1975–78).
Strauss was hired as an Assistant Professor in the OSU College of Medicine in September 1978; shortly afterward, he began volunteering as a team physician at Larkins Hall, OSU's physical education building.
In Athletics, Strauss served as a team physician for multiple teams, including men's swimming/diving, wrestling, gymnastics, fencing, and lacrosse; he additionally treated students on the hockey, cheerleading, volleyball, soccer, track, golf, baseball, tennis, water polo, and football teams.
Strauss was not formally appointed to a position at Student Health until 1994, but was known to have started performing treatments there as early as 1978.
By 1979, Athletics Department officials knew that Strauss conducted unusually prolonged genital examinations on male athletes, and that athletics staff were not permitted to be present during these examinations.
In addition, Strauss was known to shower alongside male students at Larkins Hall, a behavior which was unique among team physicians to Strauss.
Between 1979 and 1996, multiple students complained about Strauss's excessive and unnecessary genital examinations, but no action was taken by OSU until January 1996, when he was placed on administrative leave in response to patient complaints.
Larkins Hall, which served OSU as its Physical Education facility and Natatorium, was perceived as a sexualized environment, and multiple witnesses reported that voyeurism and public sex acts occurred there from the early 1980s to the late 1990s.
Strauss was counted among the voyeurs; former OSU students stated that Strauss would shower among athletes multiple times per day or stare into the shower while seated on a stool.
The building was completed in 1932, named for retired OSU Athletic Director Dick Larkins in 1976, expanded in 1977, and demolished in 2005.
After a closed-door hearing on June 5, 1996, Strauss was terminated from his position with the Athletics Department at the end of July 1996, and terminated from Student Health on August 5, 1996.
He also continued as a tenured faculty member in the School of Public Health until his voluntary retirement on March 1, 1998, upon which he gained emeritus status.
In 2019, OSU published its annual campus safety report, which reflected that Strauss committed 1,430 instances of fondling and 47 rapes during his tenure.
DiSabato, who wrestled at Ohio State from 1987 to 1991, added that his first examination with Strauss occurred at the age of 14, when Strauss was conducting research on the body fat of high school wrestlers; the body fat testing included an unnecessary genital exam.
In response, the Ohio State University announced that an investigation had been launched into the long-term sexual abuse in April 2018, asking former students and coaches to come forward with any information that might help the investigation.
After the Ohio Attorney General's office appointed Porter Wright Morris & Arthur as the university's legal counsel, Porter Wright commissioned Perkins Coie to lead the independent investigation.
OSU President Michael Drake sent an email in May 2018 to more than 100,000 alumni asking them to contact Perkins Coie with any allegations of abuse.
Based on the evidence uncovered, in June 2018 Perkins Coie expanded the scope of the investigation to include Strauss's examinations of high school students.
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the United States Department of Education announced it had opened a separate investigation into the university's response in August 2018.
The Ohio State Medical Board confirmed that it had received complaints about Strauss and had turned over confidential records to OSU lawyers in December 2018.
In May 2019, after the redacted report was released, the State Medical Board voted to release the records of its 1996 investigation if the alleged victims agreed to waive their confidentiality.
The group's charter was to review the actions that were taken by the State Medical Board in response to the complaints about Dr. Strauss.
The investigators conducted interviews with 177 students who provided evidence that Strauss had committed sexual abuse; although not all of the students felt his behavior was abusive, consultation with independent medical doctors confirmed they were not appropriate patient-doctor interactions.
Three federal lawsuits had been filed by July 2018; the third lawsuit named several OSU administrators including ex-Athletic Director Andy Geiger as having knowledge of Strauss's abuse.
In total, more than 20 school officials and staff were named as knowing complaints about Strauss's abuse but failing to stop him.
In July 2018, former members of the OSU men's wrestling team reported that then-coaches Russ Hellickson (head coach) and Jim Jordan (assistant coach, 1987–95) were aware of the abuse by Strauss.

Carnesky has won many awards, including the Laurence Olivier for Best Entertainment in 2004, Edinburgh Festival Herald Angel in 2005 and Time Out Best Theatre in 2004.
Carnesky studied ballet at London's West Street Ballet School (1987-8) followed by two years of a degree in Dance and Choreography at the Laban Dance Centre (1988–90).
This led her, in 1990-3, to the University of Brighton, where she completed a Visual and Performing Arts degree taught by the choreographer Liz Aggiss.
Aggiss recruited Carnesky into her company, Divas, which led to her first professional role, performing in 'Die Orchidee im Plastik Karton' in 1992.
This was a surreal version of the Bluebeard story, featuring sailors, tattooed women, snakes, peacocks, and a woman transformed into a ship's mast, weeping 'tears of blood into the ocean'.
Carnesky also spent time in New York, where she posed for the performance artist Annie Sprinkle for her Pleasure Activist Playing Cards, and worked with the spoken word performer Jennifer Blowdryer in her Smut Fest, a live showcase of subversive sexual performance artists.
While planning the piece, she described it as 'a mixture of a play...with a real event, real blood, my whole body on the line in the show.
Using filmed testimony and magic illusions, the piece retold Jewish and eastern European folktales and stories of migration, exploring similarities between migrant journeys from East to West.
The creative team comprised illusionist Paul Kieve, creative producer Jeremy Goldstein, video artist Jonathan Allen, set designer Laura Hopkins, musician Rohan Kriwaczek and the performers Paloma Faith, Geneva Foster Gluck, Violetta Misic, Agnes Czerna and Tai Shani.

With dramaturgy from Lois Weaver and Flick Ferdinando, the show included stage magic from Paul Kieve, and costumes and props by Sarah Munro and Mark Copeland of the Insect Circus.
Carnesky appeared as Athena the goddess of strategic war, reimagined as a stage magician performing illusions, accompanied by a male stage assistant, played by various actors.
One hapless audience member is cast as a terrorist and the audience asked to determine her fate based on a series of questions.
In 2008-11, Carnesky was artist in residence at the Roundhouse in London, where she established Carnesky's Finishing School, teaching performance skills to young people aged 17–21 over four semesters.
The students were then taken through the process of devising, creating and performing their own work on stage in front of a paying audience.
She played the role of a morbid ‘Madame Tussauds’-esque showwoman guiding audiences through her 'bizarre exhibition of curious nameless bodies that merge flesh with beautifully constructed wounds and organs made of wax, silk and embroidered felt.
The creative team comprised Anthony Bennett (wax work sculptor), Rasp Thorne (music), Helen Plewis (performer and choreographer), Marty Langthorne (lighting designer) and Jon Marshall (magic illusions).
The creative producers were Lara Clifton and Dicky Eaton, the costumes were by Claire Ashley, and a large fairground facade was painted by Martha Copeland.
Audience members, given their own card reading using the Tarot of Marseilles, were invited on an interactive journey in which Carnesky played ringmaster to a dozen Tarot card figures.
Carnesky also put on a stage show, in which she appeared as a lecturer presenting a condensed version of her research.
The show was staged as a work in progress in 2015 at University College London, as part of the Radical Anthropology Group.
Here Carnesky and Dr Camilla Power launched an activist group, the Menstronauts, which any woman could join to create menstrual rituals.
Power and Carnesky wrote, 'We believe that disregard for the cycles of the human body echoes a disregard for the cycles of the planet and for each other.
This was followed by a 2018 residency at the Attenborough Centre for Creative Arts at Sussex University, which commissioned a further development of the piece.

This is an aqueous species of frog which spends the main part of its life in fresh water locations with plentiful vegetation.
The tadpoles are herbivorous and feed on algae while the diet of the adult frog consists largely of insects and other aqueous invertebrates and their larvae; this is sometimes supplemented by the consumption of tadpoles.
This frog is the largest edible frog native to Turkey and is collected for food, being exported commercially to France, Italy and Switzerland.
It is also threatened by water extraction and loss of habitat, with several dams being planned to provide drinking water and crop irrigation.

The narrator cannot sleep because a long-fingernailed, messy-haired figure (presumably a man) is tormenting him outside of his window, promising to take him on a magic carpet ride to a magical breadstick land if he opens the window.
The story is about a boy named Jolyon, who is reading a book in his bedroom when he hears loud tapping from outside, which becomes faster and faster.
He pulls his duvet over his head and watches the silhouette of a giant hand tap the window and smash the glass.

At the end of every school day, children of all ages would race out of school to meet with friends and grab their dinner at the Burgerskip in Crawley High Street, as the chain's mascot — a clown — would watch over them.
The clown was based on Burgerskip's CEO, Seamus O'Burger, who is planning to expand his fast-food empire even further as his helicopter team escorts him to the Amazon rainforest.
O'Burger decides to have parts of it bulldozed so that there would be more space for farmland, after his pilot suggests it to him.
O'Burger's Amazon guide realises the extent of his tourist's plans and begs him at break time not to cut any further.
Everyone and everything in the rest of the rainforest watches in mournful silence as the tree tips over dead and Seamus stands triumphant.
Seamus spends a lot of time with his helicopter team to travel around the world for more farmland space, whether forests had to be bulldozed or not.
The news of the burger reaches Burgerskip headquarters and to Seamus, who redirects the plane to make an emergency meeting with the board of directors.
Terrified of disappointing their boss, the directors are hesitant to speak up but one stammers that other complaints about trees in burgers have reached their headquarters.
The tour guide explains that this is a part of Panachek's revenge for destroying the Amazon and that he is not finished with Seamus yet.
An Australian farmer found a part of Seamus' clown costume but it could not be proven that it had belonged to him.
One day, a boy in Terry Blotch's class arrives at school with a giant marble that he got for his birthday from a Scottish grandmother, which everyone on the playground gathers around to admire.
This envy triggers a need for Terry to steal and he begins to shoplift from many stores, stealing a variety of items, and stealing from the streets, notably a dog.
His mother telephones for an emergency home doctor, who recommends that he avoids eating junk food and to have a bath, assuming that it is acne (although he admits that he has no idea whether his hypothesis was accurate).
Terry's mother suggests that it is chickenpox when she notices that the boils had spread all over her son's body but Terry knew no one who may have had chickenpox in his class.
He sneaked into the changing room and put the sports bag on the hook he stole it from and runs away.
Terry never stole again — the slightest itch would remind him of his humiliation, whenever he had a potential shoplifting opportunity — however, he started to get a lot of acne that was hard to get rid of.
It is bought by Matt and Jodie, two deaf newlyweds from New Zealand who give birth to a daughter they named Rosie, who is not deaf and is fascinated by the mysterious locked door that her parents do not want to open.

Mr and Mrs Halley live in Wellsdeep cottage in Devon, which has an 1100-year-old well at the bottom of the garden, with a bottom.
Mrs Halley wants her husband to cover the well before their two grandsons (Louis and Ben) arrive, who put their hands anywhere.
In the morning, Mr Halley promises to do block it but by the afternoon, the boys arrive and the well is not covered.
At sunrise, Mr Halley races to the well with measuring tape and a pencil but the tape falls down the well before he could read the measurement of the diameter.
He has a tantrum, throws his hat after the tape, and tells his wife that he will fix the well tomorrow with better equipment.
At lunchtime, Louis and Ben run to the well to play Pirates; Louis sits in the well's bucket to imitate the crow's nest and Ben holds the rope.
Mrs Halley runs to the well to stop them as Ben lets go, and grabs the rope before the bucket dropped too far.
Mr Halley (who had been asleep inside throughout the incident) is woken up by his wife angrily pouring water over him and splutters that he will fix the well tomorrow.
He rushes out to the garden with a torch and searches the inside, seeing neither of his grandsons at the bottom.
A little boy climbs out of the water and joins him, introducing himself as The Ghost of Jobs Left Undone, pointing out that the well should have been blocked already.
Mr Halley adamantly claims that he was going to do it and the ghost replies that his grandfather had said the same but never kept his promise, which caused his death.
Mrs Crumpdump is against it because a living one would destroy the house and a dead one would stink but Mr Crumpdump remains quiet, hiding his smirk.
The children are disturbed as Mr Crumpdump proudly explains that he had someone trophy hunt for him but they move the foot towards the door by the leopard skin rug to use as an umbrella stand.
One rainy day, before a trip to the shoe shop, Belinda says aloud that she wished that the rain would stop as she takes her umbrella from the elephant's foot.
The children start to love their magical umbrella stand, making their schoolfriends jealous, and wish for several things every day until the mansion is almost full.
They also used it to be lazy: Percy wished that he could go to bed without having a bath and the prepared water dried up, whereas Belinda wished for an excuse to not go to school, making it burn down.
However, because Belinda and Percy were spoilt children who already had many toys and games, they were never satisfied with the things they wished for.
After running out of ideas, Belinda suggests that they should wish for the elephant they wanted and does so despite Percy's hesitance.
Percy orders his sister to wish it away but Belinda is too scared; the elephant rolls down the stairs and crushes them.
Mr and Mrs Crumpdump return home to find a broken staircase, a dirty carpet and the umbrella stand missing (the story writes that it had been stolen).
It began at lunchtimes during school when the horrible school dinners would be served: unspecified pork fat, cauliflower, prunes, stewed peas, lumpy and cold rice pudding, and Pork rind, to name a few.
The school dinner lady would patrol the aisles and openly scold any students that were avoiding certain parts of their plate.
Once, she yelled at the narrator to eat his cold and maggot-infested kedgeree so hard that her spittle sprayed it but he still had to eat every mouthful.
One student she never had to ask twice was Elgin (nicknamed Blue Bottle by the rest of the school), who worshipped her and the dinners.
When he had cleaned his plate, he would crawl under the tables to eat off the floor and then would go to the bin full of leftovers and eat its contents as well, as the rest of the school was forced to listen and tried not to retch.
The narrator never got sympathy from his parents, who would lecture that he was ungrateful and selfish because there were children his age in the world that never got a chance to choose, let alone eat.
The dinner lady stalked the narrator to check that he had swallowed everything and even followed him into the boys' toilets.
Eventually, the narrator's parents agreed to send in a medical note to excuse him from eating school dinners but the dinner lady made him eat it for lunch.
He would have nightmares about talking food begging to be eaten and frequently had flashbacks whenever he smelt food that the dinner lady had forced him to eat or Elgin had eaten out of the bin or off the floor.
His first panic attack was when he was 22: in a lift, he smelt spotted dick, which made him belch and his stomach churn loudly; he felt spotted dick appear in his mouth and gagged as he forced himself to swallow it.
If he ever smelt baked beans being cooked, he crawled under the nearest table and screamed; tomato ketchup and carrots were two of his many trauma triggers.
The worst panic attack was the day the narrator took his girlfriend out to a sophisticated French restaurant for a candlelit dinner.
Although the menu was full of French meals which would not remind the narrator of anything at school, he decided to order the unspecified £125-for-two special with the champagne, which was brought to the table by the head waiter.
The lid was removed to reveal fishcakes, making the narrator scream and cover himself with the tablecloth, spraying champagne over his girlfriend, who then ran out crying in embarrassment.
In the narrator's mind, the head waiter had turned into the school dinner lady, who began to demand that he ate the cakes, so he picked up a bread roll and threw it at him, but the head waiter/dinner lady was trying to force him to eat it by waving a spoon with a piece on it towards his mouth.
He kicked and screamed and later snapped out of the panic attack, finding himself outside of the restaurant with fish cake around his mouth.
He had spent the rest of his life isolating himself from friends and family, and tried not to look at any advertising for food that used to torture him.
Unfortunately, he is about to be moved into a retirement home within the next few days which has a scarily-familiar-looking dinner lady that promises to monitor his eating habits.
Then he unscrews his tail and jumps down to the floor, sings a lullaby out of a navel, screwed his teeth in, kisses his son with one of eight lips and put a sausage in his ear to turn off the bedroom light.
The complicated back of the toilet allows Helen to hide her comic books from her family's clutches so that her weak bladder excuses are more convincing.
He explains as he prepares the family's dinner that six months ago, a skeleton from the Stone Age had been discovered under the drainage of their house and is said to have come to life at times to look for the people that had drowned him in a bog.
On the toilet, Helen hears clattering noises, assuming she had called her mother's bluff but the clattering becomes louder and she hears footsteps inside the toilet.
It would take three weeks for the house to be cleaned and fixed, and the epilogue notes that Helen would do the most work.
Meanwhile, Marg's disintegrated remains are gathered in a bin bag with peat and dumped in the local landfill, but it is likely that Marg might return someday.
A boy is there and introduces himself as Arthur, who had run away from his home as well, many years ago.
Augustus is lying on his back trying to hide his smirk as Arthur acts concerned, but then the two boys begin to laugh, and the ambulance team leave furious with the same message that the police officer had said, but Arthur had already grabbed the telephone to call the fire department, who arrived minutes later.
Arthur suggests doing another prank call but Augustus is not in the mood and telephones his parents to take him home.
The parents arrive much later to see a burnt Dun' Inn surrounded by the local fire brigade, ambulances and the police.
The chief of police explains that there is a possibility that the house burnt down approximately overnight, due to the open fireplace inside.
He punched the customer, who fell to their death, and ran away until he was far enough to not be recognised.
It is the voice of a tiny ghost behind his ear, which whispers that it will not disappear until the man confesses.
When the police appear at the front door to ask questions about the bar death, the ghost gives snide commentary as the officer shows off the victim's photograph.
The man struggles to sleep as the parrot-sized ghost never moves from his shoulder and continues to remind him about his lies.
Despite the officer pointing out the DNA all over it, the man denies being at the bar and/or being involved with any altercations.
It purposely circles the man's feet when he walks to trip him up and the man loses any chance at friendships because he is stubborn and rude (ironically towards the alligator they cannot see) to them.
The officers have actually come to arrest him because the autopsy and forensic evidence finds him the culprit but the man still denies that he was involved with the bar patron's death.
The alligator rolls itself into the corner of the room and begins to shapeshift again, growing a pinkish texture, and turns into a man, and says that he killed the bar patron.
He walks into his kitchen to take out beer to celebrate but his hand slides through the handle of the fridge.
She hated history lessons and had no motivation to prepare for any tests so she stands worried next to the rest of the students, who are firing miscellaneous questions at each other about a variety of history topics.
When the exam begins, Elisa is the only person who is not writing and begins to fidget with her pen until she has ink all over her tongue.
The ghost girl is named Penny and explains that she went to the school 100 years ago but died when the school caught fire during her History exam.
Elisa realises that she had no need to worry about her exam now that someone who had haunted the school for a century was talking to her.
Penny agrees to do the exam, picks up the pen and starts answering the questions as Elisa leans back in her chair.
On Results Day, the history class stands by a bulletin board poster full of everyone's grades, ordered from best to worst by percentage.
Rachel, best friend and the student Elisa envied the most, is expectantly at the top of the list with 98% whereas Elisa is shocked to discover that she is at the bottom with 0%.
The last paragraph of the story points out that it had not occurred to Elisa that Penny the ghost girl had paid attention to the world around her during her haunting, or whether she had been a studiously-diligent student when she was alive.
His parents loathe the lack of variety but Jack can detect whenever his mother attempts to sneak different but similar-looking meat into her shopping basket.
Determined to end his son's turkey obsession for good, on Christmas Eve, Jack's father climbs the roof of a neighbour's house and waits for Father Christmas.
Eventually, Father Christmas arrives on his sleigh, crashing into the roof at the shock of seeing a man sitting on it.
It points out how turkey is wasted throughout holiday seasons and then neglected when it does not live up to expectations, adding that it caused his leg to disappear.
It takes Jack to a broiler room full of turkeys and explains how abusive and terrifying the poultry farming industry is for its species, especially during December.
In walks a turkey the size of a human dressed similarly to a hippie who takes Jack's hand and flies up to the outer atmosphere.
The mother walks in with a lid-covered plate and places it in the middle of the table as the excited family look on.
He spent the majority of his career at Millwall, making a total of 263 appearances and scoring 11 goals in all competitions.
Brolly won the Football League Third Division South championship with Millwall in 1938, and reached the FA Cup semi-final in the same season.
He was capped four times for Northern Ireland, playing in two games against Wales in 1937 and 1938 and against England and Wales in 1939.
The 2019–20 Louisville Cardinals women's basketball team represents the University of Louisville during the 2019–20 NCAA Division I women's basketball season.

Musically, the album represents a return to the more electronic, beat-driven sound of the band's earliest albums, while also incorporating conceptual and organic elements that echo approaches heard on the band's later releases.
Produced, written and performed by No-Man and mixed by Bruno Ellingham, former Miles Davis keyboard player Adam Holzman, drummer Ash Soan, The Dave Desmond Brass Quintet, No-Man live bassist Pete Morgan and Slovakian Jazz guitarist David Kollar guest.
The album received very favourable reviews in publications as diverse as Classic Pop, Classic Rock, Record Collector, Louder Than War, Prog, Electronic Sound and MOJO in the UK, Eclipsed and Rolling Stone in Germany, Classic Rock and Prog in Italy, Metal Hammer and Teraz Rock in Poland, and more.
The company was founded in 2012 in Bridgeport, Connecticut by Joe Rubin and Ryan Emerson, who created it to restore and distribute lost and otherwise unavailable films, including vintage X-rated and pornographic films.
The company was founded to restore and distribute X-rated films from the 1960s to the 1980s, including pornographic films released during the Golden Age of Porn, on home media.
Since that debut release, Vinegar Syndrome's catalog has expanded to include cult and exploitation films in a variety of genres, including horror films and action films.
Funded by an Indiegogo campaign, the service was initially intended to offer sexploitation films and other X-rated works, but its catalog was expanded to include films from other genres prior to its launch.
The service was discontinued on July 31, 2018, in order to allow Vinegar Syndrome to focus on its core operation of restoring and distributing films for physical home media.
Barry T. Hannon was a Democratic member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives and the Registrar of Deeds for Norfolk County, Massachusetts.
The Muscat rebellion was an uprising in 1913 led by Sālim bin Rāshid al-Kharūṣī against the authority of the Sultans of Muscat and Oman.
By July, the situation had gotten so dire that the British government sent a small garrison to Natrah to aid the sultan of Muscat, to no avail.
Also in August, the rebels launched an offensive towards the coastal side of al-Jabal al-Akhda, and Nakhl was besieged on the 4th.
They were opposed by 750 Indian Army troops, composed of the 102nd grenadiers, led by Col. S. M. Edwardes (now in overall command), stationed at Bayt al-Falaj; and the 95th Russell's Infantry, commanded by F. F. Major, and stationed at Ruwi village.
On 11 January, British forces launched a large-scale counterattack, and the 750 British troops succeeded at driving back around 3,000 rebels troops, causing 350 casualties with the rebel chief Isa bin Salih being wounded and his brother killed.
The general perception of the rebels at that time was that Germans had more or less emerged victorious in the war in Europe, that Wilhelm II had and his followers had converted to Islam, and that it was prudent to continue fighting the British and the sultan until they would be driven out of Arabia.
Thus, they rejected all attempts by Britain to broker a peace settlement, which the British government desired due to a need for British troops elsewhere.
However, the Sultan also recaptured some settlements in late July, such as the port of Daghmar and headquarters of Hayl al-Gha.
Jonathan Luiz Moreira Rosa Júnior (born 28 April 1999), simply known as Jonathan, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Avaí.
Born in Capão da Canoa, Rio Grande do Sul, Jonathan joined Internacional's youth setup in 2009, aged ten, after two years at Juventude.
After being the latter club's top goalscorer in the 2019 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior and the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro de Aspirantes, he was promoted to the main squad by manager Alberto Valentim.
Jonathan made his first team – and Série A – debut on 2 September 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Brenner in a 1–0 away win against Fluminense.
The game begins with the player meeting with a patient, and being provided with either a x-ray of the spine or an ultrasound examination of the abdomen, both of which may need to be requested by the player for further insight rather than being given to begin with.
When meeting with a patient, the player may judge the patient's condition from a description of symptoms from the patient and the information they're given, and the player may choose to observe the patient (do nothing), prescribe painkillers, or operate.
Inaction, such as prescribing painkillers or doing nothing if a patient's condition is serious and time-sensitive, may result in the patient's death.
Patients may also die from failed surgery, or abrupt complications during surgery if the player fails to treat them in time.
Patients may also die post-surgery from infection if the player neglects to sterilize the area with antiseptic solution before and after surgery, or by not washing their hands.

Walther and Helga Lauffs collected art from the late 1960s onwards, with the help of the curator and art historian Paul Wember, who was director of Krefeld's Kaiser Wilhelm Museum from 1947 and 1975.
Their collection included work by Joseph Beuys, Mel Bochner, Lee Bontecou, Christo, Joseph Cornell, Hanne Darboven, Jan Dibbets, Lucio Fontana, Eva Hesse, Donald Judd, On Kawara, Yves Klein, Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt, Piero Manzoni, John McCracken, Mario Merz, Robert Morris, Bruce Nauman, Louise Nevelson, Claes Oldenburg, Giulio Paolini, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Fred Sandback, George Segal, Richard Serra, Richard Tuttle, Cy Twombly, Günther Uecker, Tom Wesselmann, and Douglas Wheeler.
Formed in October 1965, the group was originally a jug band featuring guitarist and vocalist Jeff Hanna, guitarists Bruce Kunkel, Ralph Barr and Dave Hanna, bassist and guitarist Les Thompson, and drummer Glen Grosclose.
The current lineup of the band features Jeff Hanna, Jimmie Fadden on drums, harmonica and vocals (since 1966), Bob Carpenter on keyboards and vocals (since 1979), Jim Photoglo on bass and guitar (since 2005), Jaime Hanna on guitar and vocals, and Ross Holmes on mandolin and fiddle (both since 2018).
The NGDB evolved from the Illegitimate Jug Band in late 1965, with the original lineup featuring Jeff Hanna, Bruce Kunkel, Ralph Barr, Les Thompson, Dave Hanna and Glen Grosclose.
By mid-1976, Ibbotson had also left and new members John Cable (guitar, bass, vocals) and Jackie Clark (bass, guitar, keyboards) had joined the group, whose name had been shortened to simply the Dirt Band.
Around a month after returning home following a string of shows in the Soviet Union, Clark left the Dirt Band and Cable was dismissed by Hanna.
Hanna, Fadden and McEuen then rebuilt the band with the addition of bassist Richard Hathaway, saxophonist Al Garth and drummer Merel Bregante.
The Dirt Band went through a succession of drummers during its tenure – by the summer of 1979, Bregante had been replaced by Mike Buono, former Jimmy Buffett drummer Michael Gardner took over from Buono in May 1980, and the following year saw Vic Mastrianni take over the position.
By 1982, Jimmy Ibbotson had returned and the Dirt Band had reverted to its original name of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
As a five-piece, the group released four studio albums in four years, before McEuen left in January 1987 to focus on his family.
He was replaced in March by former Eagles guitarist Bernie Leadon, although he only remained until the following July, when he left to focus on his solo career.
The NGDB remained a four-piece for the following 13 years, before McEuen rejoined for a run of reunion shows starting in July 2001.
For tour dates the following year, the remaining four members were joined by Hanna's son Jaime on guitar and vocals, and Ross Holmes on fiddle, mandolin and vocals.
The Wales national football team is the third oldest international association football team having played its first fixture in March 1876.
The team played annual fixtures against Scotland, England and, later, Ireland and these fixtures were eventually organised into the British Home Championship, an annual competition between the Home Nations.
Wales did not win its first championship until the 1906–07 edition of the tournament and the triumph remained the nation's only title before the First World War.
Wales improved considerably in the post-war period, and claimed three titles during the 1920s although the team was often hindered by the reluctance of Football League clubs to release its players for international duty.
When able to call upon its strongest side, Wales enjoyed its most successful period in the British Home Championship, winning four titles in the six years before the Second World War.
When competitive football resumed after the war, Wales began facing opponents from further afield and played matches against numerous other European nations for the first time.
After failing to qualify for the 1950 and 1954 editions, Wales qualified for its first World Cup in 1958 after defeating Israel in a play-off match.
Dave Bowen managed the team for a decade between 1964 and 1974 but enjoyed little success, failing to qualify for a World Cup or the inaugural editions of the European Nations' Cup (later known as the European Championships).
He helped establish the Football Association of Wales (FAW) in February 1876 to finalise arrangements for the forthcoming match, being appointed its first secretary.
To qualify for selection, players were required to be Welsh or to have resided in the country for at least three years.
Kenrick was criticised by some in South Wales for failing to notify players in the region of the forthcoming match, favouring to publish notices in London-based journals.
The first Wales international football match was held on 2 March 1876 at Hamilton Crescent in Partick with the side wearing white shirts, featuring the Prince of Wales's feathers, and black shorts.
A second fixture between the two sides was arranged for the following year as the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham became the venue for Wales' first home international.
Wales returned to Scotland in 1878 but a fixture clash with the final of the Welsh Cup between Druids and Wrexham led many players to refuse to travel.
Such was the desperation to raise players, the secretary of the Scottish Football Association travelled to Wales and visited the homes of players in an attempt to raise a side.
A squad was eventually assembled but, having travelled overnight to Glasgow and containing many players who were not of sufficient standard, the side suffered a 9–0 defeat.
In 1879, Wales and England met for the first time in international football at a snow-covered The Oval in South London.
The poor weather conditions and the relatively unknown status of the Welsh side led to a low turnout of spectators, with newspaper reports putting the crowd in the low hundreds and some even stating less than 100.
The standard of the Welsh side was slowly improving and the side nearly held the visiting English side in March 1880.
Having trailed 3–0, the Welsh side scored twice in the final ten minutes through William Roberts and John Roberts but were unable to equalise.
Ireland were the final Home Nation to establish an international football team, playing its first fixture in February 1882 against England.
Having suffered a 13–0 defeat against the English, the Irish side travelled to the Racecourse Ground to meet Wales for the first time.
The more experienced Welsh side also proved too strong for the Irish, with John Price becoming the first Welshman to score a hat-trick in international football during a 7–1 victory.
With all of the Home Nations competing regularly, the decision was taken to introduce a competitive tournament between the sides and the Britain International Championship (later to become better known as the British Home Championship) was created in 1884.
Having defeated Ireland 6–0 in its opening match, Wales went on to finish third after suffering successive defeats to England and Scotland.
The early stages of the competition continued on the same lines; England and Scotland competed for the title, while Wales would finish third by defeating Ireland.
In the first three years of competition, Wales' only points other than in matches against Ireland was a 1–1 draw with England in the 1884–85 tournament.
In the 1886–87 edition, Wales finished bottom of the competition for the first time after losing all three of its matches, including a 4–1 defeat to Ireland in the nation's first victory in international football.
Wales had struggled to raise a team for the match and included Wrexham defender Bob Roberts, who converted to a goalkeeper for the match, and FAW secretary Alexander Hunter in his only international appearance.
The scoreline remains a record victory for the Welsh side that still stands, with Jack Doughty scoring four of the goals.
Such was the one-sided nature of the game that three Welsh players left the field before the match ended to ensure they were on time for their train home.
Wales avoided defeat in a fixture against Scotland for the first time after recording a goalless draw in the 1888–89 British Home Championship, simultaneously recording its first clean sheet against the Scots.
Oddly, the feat was achieved despite local amateur Alf Pugh starting in goal for Wales after the original selection James Trainer failed to arrive at the match.
Pugh played the first 30 minutes before Wrexham's Sam Gillam arrived and took his place, thus becoming the first substitution ever used in international football.
The following year, Wales played a home fixture outside the nation for the first time when a meeting with Ireland was held in Shrewsbury in an attempt to draw a large crowd.
By the early 1890s, with the domestic game thriving in England, Wales struggled to have its players released for international fixtures, particularly for away matches against Ireland which required a three day absence from a players club side due to ferry travel.
As a result, Wales finished bottom of the British Home Championship five times during the decade, including for three consecutive seasons between 1891 and 1893.
Although the side did record its highest placed finish to date in 1895 by finishing as runners-up to England after drawing all three of its fixtures, inspired by the likes of James Trainer, Billy Lewis and a debuting Billy Meredith.
Wales continued its good form at the start of the 1895–96 British Home Championship by thrashing Ireland 6–0 with both Meredith and Lewis scoring braces.
The team's optimism was shortlived however when they suffered a crushing 9–1 defeat to England in their following match, with Steve Bloomer scoring five of his side's goals.
Wales would finish the 20th century by losing 9 of its final 10 matches, only avoiding defeat in a 2–2 draw with Scotland in March 1897.
The difficulties in calling up players from English teams became so pronounced that the FAW put forward a motion that national teams be granted the right to overrule clubs on player selection, although this was rejected.
The 1899–1900 British Home Championship revived hope in the side as Wales finished as runners-up to Scotland, led largely by the goals of Meredith and Tom Parry.
Although results were still disappointing, the standard of the Welsh side was deemed to improving rapidly as margins of defeat became smaller and several defeats to the English and Scottish sides between 1902 and 1905 were deemed unlucky defeats based on the run of play.
The side also avoided defeat in an away fixture against the Scots in March 1904 after holding their opponents to a 1–1 draw.
The following year, Wales defeated Scotland for the first time in its history after 29 years when goals from Meredith, Grenville Morris and Walter Watkins secured a 3–1 victory, although Wales were unable to capitalise on the victory as they finished second to England in the 1905–06 British Home Championship after failing to win any of its other fixtures.
Having missed the previous two years while serving a ban for his part in the 1905 English football bribery scandal, Meredith returned to play for Wales in the 1906–07 British Home Championship.
In its first match, Wales defeated Ireland 3–2 in Belfast with Meredith scoring his side's second goal before Lot Jones scored the winning goal.
England went on to draw its final game of the tournament against Scotland, handing Wales its first British Home Championship success.
After losing their opening match against Scotland, the side suffered a 7–1 home defeat to England in a match where three goalkeepers were used.
A final defeat against Ireland resulted in Wales finishing bottom of the championship table one year after winning the tournament outright.
Several personnel changes were implemented soon after, Ted Robbins was appointed FAW secretary in 1909 and one of Wales' most prominent players of the era, goalkeeper Leigh Richmond Roose, was dropped.
In March 1910, Wales suffered a 1–0 defeat to Scotland when Roose allowed a speculative shot into the net having had his back turned towards play, talking to a spectator.
In November of the same year, Roose suffered a broken arm while playing for his club side but declared himself fit for the British Home Championship internationals in March 1911.
A poor performance in a 2–2 draw with Scotland ultimately ended his international career as he was never selected for Wales again.
Wales came within one match of winning a second title in 1912 and 1913, losing deciding matches against England on both occasions.
In the final hosting of the championship before the First World War, Wales finished bottom of the table with one point.
In December 1914, the Home Nations took the decision to suspend the British Home Championship following the outbreak of the war.
Wales' first fixtures at the end of the war were two friendly matches against England, organised to raise funds for the FAW.
The British Home Championship returned for the 1919–20 season with Wales' first post-war match ending in a 2–2 draw with pre-war champions Ireland in Belfast.
A draw against Scotland was followed by a 2–1 victory over England, the first time Wales had defeated its neighbour in a competitive fixture since 1882.
Goals from Stan Davies and Dick Richards secured victory for Wales, who were reduced to ten men in the second half when Harry Millership went off injured, but the performance of the now 45-year old Meredith drew headlines.
He ended his international career as both Wales' most-capped player and its record goalscorer having scored 11 times in 48 appearances.
The victory over Ireland was held on the same day that Cardiff City hosted South Shields in the Football League Second Division, with only 11,000 attending the national side's match in Swansea while more than 30,000 attended Cardiff's fixture.
One of the debutant in the team was Swansea Town's Willie Davies who made an instant impact, scoring one of his side's goals during a 2–0 victory over Scotland in the opening game.
A final victory over Ireland, via a Moses Russell penalty, secured the title for Wales having beaten all three sides in the same tournament for the first time.
The success was partly attributed to the team's star players being released to play, but this trend soon reverted to type for the opening match of the 1924–25 tournament; six players withdrew from the squad for the opening match, a 3–1 defeat to Scotland.
Wales' success did prompt England to agree to a Saturday fixture in Wales for the first time; Fred Keenor scored for Wales but the side fell to a 2–1 defeat.
When Wales were left short for the visit of Scotland in the 1925–26 Championship, Ted Robbins called up debutant Jack Lewis after following him to a train station in Newport where he was due to travel to Birmingham to play for Cardiff City.
Defeats to Scotland and Ireland followed and Robbins was again forced to make a last minute interception for the final match against England.
John Pullen had been travelling to London with Moses Russell and was persuaded to join up to win his first cap, alongside Charlie Jones.
The competition had started poorly for the side, conceding two goals in the first half against Scotland before Ernie Curtis and an own goal by Jimmy Gibson salvaged a point.
The match was tied at 1–1 until Wilf Lewis secured the win for Wales, scoring the winning goal by charging both the ball and opposition goalkeeper into the net.
After suffering a 4–2 defeat to Scotland in the opening match, Wales endured a 6–0 defeat to England in its second fixture.
The tournament ended with a severely depleted Wales side succumbing to a 7–0 defeat to Ireland in which Joe Bambrick scored six of his side's goals, the most any player has scored in a single match against Wales.
The national side's poor results at the end of the 1920s were partly blamed on the deterioration of Welsh club sides.
By the end of the decade, Cardiff City had been relegated to the Second Division, Aberdare Athletic had dropped out of the Football League and both Newport County and Merthyr Town had survived re-elections to avoid the same fate.
The ruling was designed to force international matches to be scheduled on days that would not clash with Football League fixtures.
Wales' first match under the ruling was the opening game of the 1930–31 British Home Championship against Scotland who were largely unaffected by the ruling as it drew the majority of its players from its own leagues.
Nine of Wales' eleven players made their international debut in the game, with only captain Fred Keenor and goalkeeper Len Evans having previous international experience.
Ahead of the match, Keenor asked Robbins if he could have the players to himself for four hours before the game.
Despite their inexperience, the Welsh side held Scotland to a 1–1 draw having taken the lead after six minutes from a goal by Tommy Bamford.
The Welsh public also responded by calling for the same side to remain for the following match against England, although Elvet Collins was replaced due to injury.
A compromise between the Football League and the other Home Nations was reached in 1931, with the sides being required to provide 21 days notice for a player's release, although the club were only obliged to release English players.
The FAW would also be responsible for the wages and insurance of the players during the time away, a stipulation that placed increasing strain on the organisation's already slim finances.
However, in practice, the more inclusive ruling provided little improvement as the FAW's release requests for players were continually rejected; during the 1931–32 British Home Championship, Wales finished bottom after losing all of its matches amd used 26 players in only 3 games.
The FAW subsequently gave in to the Football League and agreed to hold matches in midweek to avoid a fixture clash.
Wales travelled to Paris, France, in May 1933 to play its first international fixture against an opponent other than the Home Nations.
Buoyed by their championship victory, the Welsh team began their title defense in the 1933–34 British Home Championship by securing a 3–2 victory over Scotland in front of 40,000 fans at Ninian Park.
The tension of the match was so intense that Mills nearly failed to return for the second half having been sick during half-time.
Eric Brook equalised for England in the second half but, with less than ten minutes remaining, Dai Astley scored a header to give Wales victory and win the Home Championship in consecutive years for the only time in the nation's history.
Wales failed to retain its title in 1934–35, finishing last, and narrowly missed out on another title in 1935–36 British Home Championship.
The side recovered the following season and defeated England in a home fixture for the first time since 1882 via goals from Pat Glover and Seymour Morris.
Wales won its third title in five years by winning 4–1 over Ireland in its last fixture, Glover scoring two more to finish as top goalscorer with five goals in the competition.
Wales also went on to share the 1938–39 British Home Championship title with both England and Scotland after all three sides attained four points in the final edition of the tournament before the outbreak of the Second World War.
The British Home Championship was postponed during wartime; Wales' final fixture before the start of the war was a 2–1 defeat against France.
The side's first wartime fixture was a 1–1 draw with England in a charity match to raise money for the Red Cross.
The following year, Wales were hosted at Wembley Stadium for the first time having previously been considered less of a draw than Scotland.
For the majority of the war, Wales only played fixtures against England, the two sides meeting 15 times between 1939 and 1945.
As the war drew to a close, the national side was rocked by the death of Ted Robbins in January 1946.
Robbins had served as secretary of the FAW since 1900 and was credited as a major factor in the team's success in previous decades.
The British Home Championship returned for the 1946–47 campaign and Wales' first competitive post-war fixture was against Scotland in October 1946.
The wartime gap had increased public appetite for the sport and the break resulted in an entirely new generation of players being involved in the squad and one of the debutant, Trevor Ford, scored one of Wales' goals in a 3–1 victory.
The following year, Wales began its campaign with a 3–0 defeat against England but defeated Scotland at Hampden Park for the first time.
The tour proved disastrous for the squad however, as Wales lost all three fixtures and the squad was involved in a road accident when the team coach crashed during a tour of the Swiss Alps.
Wales and the other Home Nations entered the FIFA World Cup for the first time in 1950 and the 1949–50 British Home Championship was used to determine qualification for the tournament.
The added incentive resulted in a crowd of more than 60,000 attending Wales' opening fixture against England at Ninian Park, but they witnessed their side suffer a 4–1 defeat.
A further defeat to Scotland ended Wales' hopes of qualification and only a goalless draw with Northern Ireland stopped the side finishing bottom of the group on goal difference.
Prior to the Ireland match, Belgium had travelled to Cardiff to become the first overseas side to visit Wales for an international match.
During the following year's championship, Trevor Ford became Wales' leading goalscorer of all-time when he scored a brace during a 4–2 defeat to England.
Wales celebrated its 75th anniversary by winning its first post-war British Home Championship title by sharing the 1951–52 British Home Championship edition with England.
The two sides had drawn their meeting in the first fixture before both winning their remaining matches to finish on five points.
Wales' final match of the competition was a 3–0 victory over Northern Ireland at Vetch Field, the first international match held at the ground in 25 years.
The Welsh squad contained several young players born or brought up in the Swansea area, including Ford, Ivor Allchurch and Roy Paul, and the game was regarded as a homecoming match.
However, Wales struggled in the years immediately afterwards, finishing bottom of the Championship in consecutive seasons including the 1953–54 tournament which saw the team fail to qualify for the 1954 FIFA World Cup..
The period also included a disastrous European tour in 1953 during which Wales suffered a 6–1 defeat to France and a 5–2 defeat to Yugoslavia.
In 1954, encouraged by the work of Walter Winterbottom with England, the FAW appointed the first manager of the Welsh national side in former captain Walley Barnes.
Despite winning 2–0, the Austrians were infuriated by the physical style of play adopted by Wales, particularly forwards Ford and Derek Tapscott, which was unfamiliar outside Britain.
Yugoslavia travelled to Wales in September 1954 in a reverse of the two side's fixture in 1953 and became the first foreign opposition to win in Wales after winning 3–1, having trailed 1–0 at half-time.
Wales' burgeoning involvement in continental football resulted in the FAW being accepted as members of the recently founded Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) in 1954.
The 1955–56 British Home Championship brought some improvement for Wales as the side recorded its first victory over England in 17 years at Ninian Park.
All four sides shared the British Home Championship title after finishing on three points, the only occurrence of a four-way tie in the comp's 100-year history.
Wales narrowly missed out on winning the title having drawn 1–1 with Northern Ireland in its final game in which Roy Paul missed a penalty with Wales already leading 1–0.
The Austrian team were eager to match the physicality of the Welsh side shown in the first meeting and the match descended into violent chaos.
The French referee, Louis Fauquemberghe, who was unable to speak either German or English had little control as both sides continually resorted to fouling each other resulting in injuries to eight players.
The most serious were to Austrians Theodor Wagner, who suffered a fractured tibia, and Wales' Mel Charles, who left the field with ten minutes remaining after being heavily fouled.
Disappointing results against European teams prompted a change of approach by the FAW who appointed Manchester United coach Jimmy Murphy as manager in 1956.
Murphy enjoyed an inauspicious start with draws with Northern Ireland and Scotland before a 3–1 defeat to England in a match where Wales finished with nine players due to injuries.
The British Home Championship was dropped as a qualifying format for the 1958 FIFA World Cup and replaced by randomly drawn qualifying groups.
Wales was drawn alongside Czechoslovakia and East Germany and started positively by defeating Czechoslovakia 1–0 in its first fixture, via a goal by Roy Vernon.
The FAW, however, were still reluctant to call-up replacements and only an outcry from the press prompted Ray Daniel and Des Palmer to join up with the side.
An second opportunity at qualification was offered in December 1957 as the volatile political situation in Israel led to Turkey, Indonesia and Sudan withdrawing from matches against the nation for varying reasons.
FIFA rules decreed that no team could qualify for a World Cup without playing a match, and so a play-off against a European qualifying group runner-up was arranged.
The FAW accepted the offer and Wales travelled to Tel Aviv for the first leg, winning 2–0 after goals from Ivor Allchurch and Dave Bowen.
Allchurch scored again in the second leg and a further goal from Cliff Jones secured Wales' first qualification to a major international tournament.
The side's preparations for the tournament were hampered by confusion over the availability of John Charles; having failed to qualify, the Italian Football Federation had instead organised a club tournament featuring Charles' side Juventus who were reluctant to release the player.
Wales manager Jimmy Murphy prepared his team to play without Charles, but the player eventually secured his release and arrived in Sweden only three days before the start of the competition.
Ford had been banned from playing in Britain in 1956 after he revealed an illegal payments scandal in club football in his autobiography.
Derek Tapscott had also fallen out with the FAW while Des Palmer missed out due to injury, leading to Colin Webster being selected in their stead.
Although the Hungarian Golden Team had previously been considered one of the best teams in the world, the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 had weakened the side.
In its second match, Wales played a Mexico side that had suffered a 3–0 defeat to Sweden in the opening match.
Ivor Allchurch gave Wales the lead in the first half but Mexico responded strongly and scored a late equaliser in the 89th minute with Wales having been reduced to 10-men after Colin Baker had been injured.
In their final group match, Wales met Sweden which had already qualified for the quarter-finals and had rested several players as a result.
The Swedes were still the stronger of the two teams but were unable to breach the Welsh defense and the match ended goalless.
Wales finished the group stage with three points, tied for second with Hungary necessitating a play-off match between the two sides to determine which would advance.
Wales were dealt a blow when Lajos Tichy gave Hungary the lead after 30 minutes while John Charles was again the focus of the Hungarian defence, leaving the field on more than one occasion to receive treatment.
Terry Medwin scored a second for Wales and, despite finishing the match with 10-men following an injury to Ron Hewitt, the side held on to advance to the quarter-finals.
The success of the Welsh team in the World Cup resulted in huge demand for tickets for the side's opening match of the 1958–59 British Home Championship.
Draws against England and Northern Ireland in the final two games left Wales bottom of the Championship, less than a year after its World Cup exploits.
The following year, the post World Cup interest in the team led to a crowd of 62,634 attending a match against England at Ninian Park, a new record crowd for Wales and a record attendance for the ground.
The FAW had been against the Irish split and had resisted any attempts for the two sides to play for several years (England had played the Republic for the first time some 14 years earlier).
A shared British Home Championship title in 1959–60 British Home Championship and a positive finish to the following year's campaign had raised hopes of Wales qualifying for the 1962 FIFA World Cup in Chile.
Wales were drawn in a group with Spain and Austria, although Austria withdrew due to financial problems before the matches began.
Spain won the first match 2–1 before the two sides drew 1–1 in the second match in Madrid with Ivor Allchurch scoring Wales' goal.
Wales entered the European Nations' Cup for the first time in 1964 (the Home Nations had not entered the inaugural edition in 1960).
In the preliminary qualifying round, Wales were drawn against Hungary and suffered a demoralising 3–1 defeat in the first leg in Budapest.
In April 1964, manager Jimmy Murphy was forced to miss Wales' match against Northern Ireland after his wife was taken ill. Swansea Town manager Trevor Morris was placed in charge as Wales suffered a 3–2 defeat.
Murphy never took charge of another match for Wales, resigning later in the year due to commitments with his role at Manchester United.
The role was eventually given to another former player, Dave Bowen, who had captained the team at the 1958 World Cup.
His first match in charge ended in victory when two late goals from Ken Leek secured a 3–2 win over Scotland in the 1964–65 British Home Championship.
In qualifying for the 1966 FIFA World Cup, Wales was drawn in a group alongside the Soviet Union, Greece and Denmark.
The campaign began poorly for Wales as it lost 1–0 to Denmark in Copenhagen before losing a controversial game against Greece in Athens.
Welsh players Ken Leek and Wyn Davies were continually fouled which led to brawls between players breaking out on several occasions.
The home crowd also made attempts to break onto the pitch to confront the Welsh players which led to clashes with local police.
Wales would avenge the defeat five months later with a 4–1 victory over Greece at Ninian Park in the return fixture.
Dave Bowen was unavailable to manage Wales in its opening match of the 1964–65 British Home Championship due to club commitments.
His side recorded a surprise 2–1 victory over their previously unbeaten opponents, the only match the Soviet Union failed to win during qualifying, via goals by Roy Vernon and Ivor Allchurch.
The result was not enough to secure qualification however as, despite beating Denmark 4–2 in its final game, Wales finished as runners-up in the group behind the Soviets.
Having failed to qualify for the World Cup, Wales instead embarked on another tour of South America in May 1966, playing two matches against Brazil and one against Chile.
Ivor Allchurch made his final appearance for Wales in the 2–0 defeat to Chile in the final match of the tour.
He retired as Wales' record appearance holder with 68 caps, and tied with Trevor Ford as the nation's record goalscorer with 23.
Like the early World Cups, the qualifying phase for UEFA Euro 1968 used the British Home Championship as a qualification group for the tour, with the results of the 1966–67 and 1967–68 editions being combined to determine which of the Home Nations would progress.
Wales began the stage with a 1–1 draw against Scotland in October 1966 but ultimately finished third in the 1966–67 season after losing heavily to England and recording a goalless draw with Northern Ireland.
The team fared little better, losing to England and Scotland before recording its only victory over the Euro 1968 qualifying campaign by beating Northern Ireland 2–0.
Wales recorded a creditable 1–1 draw with West Germany in April 1969 ahead of the qualifying campaign for the 1970 FIFA World Cup.
Wales' first match was against reigning European champions Italy and Dave Bowen was forced to name several reserve players in the line-up, although the team only lost to a single goal by Gigi Riva.
The side travelled to West Germany to play a return friendly against the side, with Bowen only able to select 13 players for the trip.
Nevertheless, Wales recorded a second 1–1 draw; Barrie Jones had given Wales the lead before Gerd Müller equalised late in the match.
The qualifying campaign for the 1970 World Cup ended with two defeats to East Germany and another to Italy as Wales failed to gain a single point.
The refusal of clubs to release players for international duty or to not allow a player to travel until a day before the match often disrupted the team.
The final match of the 1970 World Cup qualification group against Italy was nearly forfeited as Wales struggled to name a squad.
One player, Wrexham's teenage defender Gareth Davies, was contacted in the early hours of the morning and travelled overnight to make the team's flight to Rome.
Sprake later admitted to feigning injury under the guidance of his club manager Don Revie in order to avoid selection with the national side.
An incident in 1969 drew considerable criticism of the FAW when it failed to book enough seats for the ten travelling Welsh players and the organisation's members.
When none of the officials offered to give up their seat, the crew declared that the last person to board the craft, winger Gil Reece, would have to disembark.
A furious Reece was left at the airport and had to travel alone to Düsseldorf before crossing the border into East Germany.
Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin () is located in the Moscow district of Yasenevo District in the South-Western Administrative Okrug of Moscow Oblast and is part of the Russian Orthodox eparchy of Moscow.
Development for the church began in 2007, as part of a project by the Russian Orthodox Church to build 200 new worship centers in the Moscow region in the coming decade.
The Russian Orthodox hierarchy claimed that in Yasenevo there were 180,000 practicing Orthodox Christians yet only 4 churches in the immediate area.
The construction started even though not all the cost to build the church had yet been covered by sponsors and donors.
On 27 December 2015 Theodore (Kazanov) was consecrated bishop of Pereslavl and Uglich by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow at the Church of the Intercession.
The church is a popular destination for both tourist and Orthodox worshipers, the Christmas celebration in 2019 brought a wide array of Orthodox Christians from Moscow and beyond.

Al-Ubulla (), called Apologos () by the Greeks in the pre-Islamic period, was a port city at the head of the Persian Gulf east of Basra in present-day Iraq.
It was located to the east of old Basra and lay on the northern side of the eponymous canal, the Nahr al-Ubulla, which connected Basra southeastwards to the Tigris river, Abadan (in modern Iran) and ultimately to the Persian Gulf.
During the early Muslim conquests in the 630s, al-Ubulla was conquered by the Arab forces of Utba ibn Ghazwan al-Mazini after the defeat of its 500-man Sasanian garrison.
Following the foundation of the Arab garrison town of Basra further inland, al-Ubulla declined in strategic importance but remained a major trade port until the Mongol invasion.
As indicated by the medieval Arabic geographers, al-Ubulla continued to be a large town, more populous than Basra, throughout the Abbasid era (750–1258).
Yaqut al-Hamawi praised the city and Ibn Hawqal describes the border lands of the Nahr al-Ubulla as a single extensive garden.
In 942, the governor of Uman captured the city on his way to Basra during his conflict with its strongman Abu'l-Husayn al-Baridi and his brother Abu Abdallah al-Baridi.
The 14th-century traveler Ibn Batuta described it as a mere village and around this time it disappeared from the historical record.

John Rennie Short (born 19 October 1951) is a professor of geography and public policy in the School of Public Policy at University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
From 1985 to 1987, he was also visiting senior research fellow at the Urban Research Unit of the Australian National University.
In 2002, he left Syracuse for an appointment as professor and chair of the Department of Geography and Environmental Systems at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).
Short's work has been presented in television and radio interviews, print interviews in national and special newspapers and essays on scholarly/journalistic websites.
More recent work has focused on the Global South including the rise of new middle class and the informal economy in the Colombian city of Cali.
In that book Short elaborated the idea of national environmental ideologies though the depictions of wilderness, countryside and city in landscape painting, cinema and novels.
Short builds upon and extends the work of the critical cartographic theorist John Brian Harley to deconstruct maps as social and political texts.
Short explores the power dynamics in how the USA and Korea were represented in maps, the creation of a spatial sensitivity in the early modern era, the role of indigenous people in so-called exploration and discovery of the New World, and the emergence of the national atlas as important feature of modern nationalism.

Originally the regiment, like all Italian tank units, was part of the infantry, but on 1 June 1999 it became part of the cavalry.
Enroute one transport carrying the tanks for one of the companies of the XII battalion was sunk by British warplanes in the Mediterranean.
To bring the 133rd regiment back up to strength 31st Tank Infantry Regiment sent its IV and LI tank battalions to North Africa.
From then on the regiment participated in all the battles of the campaign: Battle of Mersa Matruh, First Battle of El Alamein, and Battle of Alam el Halfa.
On 10 July 1948 the Italian Army raised the 1st Tankers Regiment, which inherited the flag and traditions of the 1st Tank Infantry Regiment.
Tank and armored battalions created during the 1975 army reform were all named for officers, soldiers and partisans, who were posthumously awarded Italy's highest military honor the Gold Medal of Military Valour during World War II.
In fall 2001 the 133rd Tank Regiment was disbanded and its war flag transferred to the Shrine of the Flags in the Vittoriano in Rome.

Whilst working on new materials for photovoltaics, Heutz showed that electrons in copper phthalocyanine (a blue pigment found in a Bank of England £5 note) exist in a superposition of two different spin states.
She demonstrated that copper phthalocyanine could be used for quantum computing, where information is stored as qubits as opposed to binary bits.
Heutz has continued to work on room temperature magnetic organic materials for spintronic applications, working with Nic Harrison, the co-Director of the Imperial College Institute for Molecular Science and Engineering.
Harrison contributed theoretical models of cobalt phthalocyanine, and demonstrated that by manipulating the angle between adjacent layers of cobalt phthalocyanine it is possible to improve the magnetic properties of the material.
In 2018 Heutz demonstrated that pentacene could undergo singlet fission – absorbing a single photon could result in the generation of two excited electrons.
Heutz and colleagues demonstrated that when pentacene molecules are tilted toward each other they are more likely to undergo singlet fission than when they are tilted.
The work was the first to show that pentacene could undergo singlet fission at room temperature.In 2017 Heutz was awarded a multi-million pound research grant from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council to open the UK's first SPIN-Lab.
It has a two part, low, rectangular plan, wooden wing set with 5° of dihedral and built around a single main spar.
Plywood skin ahead of the spar around the leading edge forms a torsion-resistant D-box; behind the spar the wing is fabric covered.
The forward fuselage has a welded steel-tube structure but the rear is a wooden monocoque; throughout, the section is essentially rectangular with rounded decking.
Behind the metal-covered, conventionally mounted engine, a Walter Mikron III salvaged from an earlier project, the forward fuselage is ply covered.
The cockpit is over the wing, normally enclosed by a two-part canopy though it can be flown open with only its windscreen in place.
Its rectangular plan tailplane is mounted on the top of the extreme rear fuselage, placing its straight-edged, tapered, one-piece, tabbed elevator behind the rudder.
Each leg is cross-linked to the top of the other with a steel rod and has an elastic shock absorber within the fuselage.
Criticisms were confined to its landing limitations; the absence of flaps meant a shallow approach, the absence of brakes could be a problem at short strips and its small wheels did not suit rough surfaces.
Photographs from that year show the wheels enclosed in spats and flaps which occupy all the trailing edge inboard of the aileron.
It underwent a series of quantitative tests with results good enough to encourage Orliński's son to start a second airframe in 2004.

He turns to another entry which dates on Monday, June 3, when Jerry got Tom into two nasty surprises in a chase.
Tom is now enraged at what Jerry has written about him and he destroys Jerry's present (which appears to be a box of chocolates) in frustration.
He is just about to throw the diary away when he opens it again and reads one more entry dating Saturday, July 4, when Tom and Jerry fought using firecrackers.
Tom has finally had it and rips Jerry's diary to pieces in exasperation just as soon as the mouse comes home.
The Rila Literary School is medieval and Renaissance at the same time, reflecting the transition from Middle Bulgarian to New Bulgarian in modern times.
A guardian of previous literary traditions, it reflects and combines, at the same time, the desire to preserve the literary wealth of medieval Bulgaria with the rule of time for accessible and mass literacy through the Damaskins.
The beginning is marked by the works of Vladislav Gramatik and Demetrius Kantakouzenos, and the end - by the life and work of Neofit Rilski.
'Perpetua' (died c.423) was a late Roman abbess, the daughter of Saint Monica and Patricius, and the sister of Augustine of Hippo.
This establishment seems to have run on similar lines to his - the nuns were allowed to leave the monastery for a variety of activities, including: visiting the baths, to the laundry, to worship at external churches.
It can be argued that 'Perpetua's' influence was at its strongest after her death, with the writing of this letter to her community.
One if its major warnings was of pride: whether you came from a humble or a rich background, there was danger that you may become proud of your asceticism, which undid all its holy work.

Patrick J. Hamrock (1860-1939) was an Irish-born American soldier who served in multiple conflicts as part of the U.S. Army and Colorado National Guard.
Hamrock joined the U.S. Army as a member of the 7th Cavalry Regiment, a unit regularly involved in the battles of the Indian Wars against the Native American inhabitants of the Western United States during the latter-half of the 1800s.
He was present during the Ghost Dance War against the Miniconjou and Hunkpapa Lakota, and participated 1890 campaign that included the Wounded Knee Massacre in South Dakota, where 200-300 Lakota were killed.
Hamrock was involved in founding the Rocky Mountain Sharpshooters for the Spanish-American War, composed of volunteers from the Western US, but they never saw combat.
In the years that followed, Hamrock became the coach of the state rifle team, was promoted to major in the Colorado National Guard, and began operating a saloon in Denver.
On 23 September 1913, the United Mine Workers of America declared a strike against the Rockefeller-owned Colorado Fuel and Iron company in southern Colorado in an effort to secure better pay and collective bargaining.
Up to 20,000 strikers were evicted from the company towns that dotted the coal-rich Sangre de Christo region, raising tent cities nearby with the help of the UMWA.
The Colorado National Guard was mobilized on 28 October and arrived in the strike zone by train before the end of the month.
The Major Hamrock was in charge of Company B of the National Guard, a 34-man detachment composed largely of enlisted CF&I mine guards and detectives stationed mostly at Cedar Hill near Tabasco.
After six months of deployment to the largely isolated strike zone, the majority of the National Guardsmen were allowed to return to their livelihoods.
Company K, commanded by the amicable attorney-Captain Phillip Van Cise, withdrew from Ludlow, leaving Hamrock to send a 12 troops to fill their place.
Tensions in the region had decreased from a peak in October–November 1913, but rose again in March 1914 following the discover of a non-striking miner's body near the Forbes Colony of strikers.
General John Chase, in command of the National Guard, order the strikers' colony razed and the men arrested, an action that indirectly resulted in two infants dying of exposure.
Alongside Hamrock's troops were militia under the command of Lieutenant Karl Linderfelt, who had previously seen combat against the strikers in the early stage of the conflict and also had authority over Company B.
Inside the 1,200-person Ludlow Colony, Cretan-born Greek striker Louis Tikas was helping to sooth tensions between the other Greek miners and a growingly-anxious Guard and militia presence.
Following a tense day of Orthodox Easter festivities, on 20 April 1914, Hamrock received word from Linderfelt that an Italian woman was attempting to locate her husband named Tuttolimando, who was believed to live in the Ludlow Colony.
Hamrock dispatched a corporal and two enlisted men to search for him, and it became clear it Tikas had to be involved.

The prototype first flew in July 1960, but the type was not put into production because it was thought that the cost of setting up a production line would be too great to compete with other two-seat aircraft available at the time.

Potamon (around 65 BC–around AD 25) was a rhetorician in the Greek city of Mytilene who was active around the same time of Lesbocles.
When his son was killed, according to Seneca the Elder, he delivered a speech on the suasoria relating to the Spartans deliberating whether to flee Thermopylae wherein he exhorted the Spartans against flight, in contrast to his rival Lesbocles, who shut down his school of rhetoric after the death of his son.
Aïcha Ben Abed (alternatively Aïcha Ben Abed-Ben Khedher ) is an archaeologist and Director of Monuments and Sites at the Institut National du Patrimoine, Tunisia.
Abed has held a number of positions during her career, including as from 1986 to 1991 as Director of the Bardo Museum in Tunis.
She is a specialist in Roman mosaics, particularly in Tunisia and was the first person to study the conservation of re-buried mosaics.
Abed is working with international partners to secure the future and safety of Tunisia's important mosaics, whilst recognising the differences in resourcing that lie between the western museum world and the Mediterranean.
Abed has spent her career encouraging the study of mosaics in Tunisia and has written widely on their history and conservation.
She has worked on the Roman remains at Pupput, with an emphasis on how homes and other domestic spaces were organised.
She has worked on the Roman spa complex at Djebel Oust, studying its origins, as well as the mosaics that were built there.
In 1983, she earned her doctorate in musical composition from the University of Michigan (UM) where she had studied with Leslie Bassett, William Bolcom and Eugene Kurtz.
They are often referred to as export ware and became popular due to their kaolin-type clay that was difficult to replicate.
Tradeware ceramics are named by their place of manufacture, individually by various popular terms and the period in which they were produced.
Jingdezhen, a hub for Chinese ceramic production in Jiangxi, was a main source of high quality porcelain that dominated the international market.
By the end of the fourteenth century, primary production sites in Jingdazhen shifted from bluish-white colored wares to predominantly blue-and-white porcelain.
Exported products proved to be more profitable than domestic products; because of this, Kraak ware is typically of higher quality than that of wares traded within local markets.
Only a small amount of wares could be fired per round and at a slower rate, which resulted in the highest quality wares with smooth glazes and translucent white color.
In addition, the Jingdezhen potters implemented a multitude of measures to inhibit sand and other debris from the floor from adhering to the firing vessel.
In the sixteenth century, the seaport of Yuegang in the Zhangzhou region prospered as it took part in the expanding international maritime trade.
A predominant portion of the ships leaving the Yuegang port were headed towards the Philippines on a journey that only took fifteen to twenty days.
The Yuegang seaport soon shifted to the forefront of international maritime trade, and as a result, export-driven businesses that focused on silk and ceramics were multiplying all throughout Zhangzhou at an exponential rate.
By the end of the sixteenth century, the Zhangzhou products still proved to be extremely valuable in an international market that was customarily overshadowed by suppliers with Jingdezhen products.
European traders generally bought lesser quality Zhangzhou wares as financial capital for products and services offered by indigenous groups, whereas they typically used the refined Jingdezhen wares for their own European local markets (and the elites that live there).
As a result, the study of Zhangzhou porcelain has broader implications such that it can point to interactions between colonizers and the colonized since archaeologists often find porcelain that originated from Zhangzhou in diverse archaeological contexts that range from California to South Africa.
As newly discovered trade routes enabled for the expansion of international trade, the ceramic production in Zhangzhou increased in order to maximize profits.
This is due to the applied shortcut version of firing the wares in large step-chamber kilns which, in turn, compromised the quality in order to save time and produce a high volume of wares.
The age of tradeware ceramics are divided into two main periods based on Spanish contact with the Philippines: Pre-Spanish arrival and Post-Spanish arrival.
In the Late Ming period, 69% of all tradeware ceramics discovered in burial cites and caves are Zhangzhou ware and 31% are Jingdezhen ware.
In order to compare the quality of different types of porcelain across varying eras found at different production sites, a classification system produced by Li Min (2013) is often used.
It comprises five different types and has enabled archaeologists to analyze the broad trends in porcelain utilization within the local societies.
Since the body is composed of fine-grained kaolin clay, the body has an even, polished texture and looks white translucent in color.
Most Type I porcelain have a high probability of originating from the production site of Jingdezhen, the epicenter of the Chinese ceramic industry in Jiangxi.
Most importantly, Jingdezhen was a site that produced relatively higher quality of wares compared to that of the lackluster, poor quality Zhangzhou wares.
This is due to the fact that the Jingdezhen site utilized the local technological tradition of small gourd-shaped kilns that fired a low quantity of wares per round.
Porcelain classified as Type II have a glaze that is a hazy off-white color and not as translucent in comparison to Type I wares.
At first glance, Li Min (2013) has described the appearance as a hybrid of a gray colored porcelain-stoneware with a hazy glaze.
Although the porcelain is constructed with somewhat subpar quality, it is still considered to be of higher refinement than those wares that were mass-produced and, thus, were of lower quality.
The majority of wares that belong to the classification types III-V have a high association to the production site at Zhangzhou.
Maritime traders that wanted to profit off of the expanding global trade of the sixteenth century generated export-driven factories in Zhangzhou.
These sites made massive quantities of relatively inferior quality wares that duplicated the external appearance of Jingdezhen wares; oftentimes in literature, these Zhangzhou wares are referred to as Swatow wares by archaeologists.
To expedite the rate of production, an alteration of the traditional technology traditions was made, in which Zhangzhou production sites utilized large step-chamber kilns that enabled a higher volume of wares to be generated.
While the European traders preferred the highest quality wares from Jingdezhen for their local European markets, they often used the unrefined wares from Zhangzhou as a method of payment for a variety of goods and services accepted from native groups of people with whom they came into contact with as they traveled across countries.
Type III and Type IV generally have the similar same external appearance, but the degree of substandard quality present within Type IV is more extreme.
Porcelain classified as Type V were typically not traded on the market considering the fact that the unsophisticated outer appearance did not warrant any interested buyers on the market.
Before these wares were placed in the kiln to fire, the clay material was not compacted or purified, which led to the coarse texture of these dilapidated wares.
The leading scholars in this region were Olov Janse who started excavating prehispanic Calatagan burials during the 1940s and Robert Fox led his excavations from 1958 through the 1960s.
Furthermore, the majority of tradeware porcelain plates had solar designs or bird motifs that were placed over the pelvis in burials.
For example, a Karitunan adult (KR-50) in Calatagan was buried with several grave goods in addition to a blue-and-white porcelain plate over the pelvis with chrysanthemum design.
The tradeware ceramics in the grave of KR-50 had a gold ring, blade, solar motifs, and a stone charm to indicate this individual's participation in raiding and trading.
51 adults were buried at this site and an infant was interred in a Chinese brown-glazed Ming jar that dates back to the late thirteenth-early fourteenth century.
In the Tanjay region, chiefs from upland communities were in charge of redistribution of prestige or foreign goods and glazed Asian tradeware had restricted distribution.
Thus, prior to colonialism in the Philippines, tradeware ceramics were a marker of social status and were passed down to the next generation as discussed in the Balingasay, Bolinao case study.
This research revealed that upland communities in Ifugao used tradeware ceramics for rice wine production and these vessels were only accessible to the elites who controlled wet rice cultivation.
Furthermore, rice was viewed as a prestige good and was redistributed by elites in feasting rituals to form alliances with lowlanders.
Thus, rice was not viewed as a monetary form of currency in Ifugao but rather as an active participant in ritual practices.
Porcelain served as symbols of political influence, as they were not only used in ritualized feasts associated with life crises and calendrical events, but also negotiation incentives amongst polities.
A study in Tanjay, Negros, Philippines demonstrated that the immense quantity of foreign porcelains in burials and settlements increased significantly from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries.
Prior to the fifteenth century (and the introduction of the Manila Galleon trade), the high-quality exported porcelain were predominantly limited to high-ranking elites and chiefs.
The importance of competitive feasting in chiefly polities and status competition can be seen through the decrease in quality of porcelain (from more diverse to less diverse vessels), in which large inventories of less attractive porcelain (lower quality) were intended for a growing market of lower social class.
Once the Manila Galleon trade was in full effect, the quality in porcelain starts to decrease dramatically, ultimately leading to porcelain tradewares becoming more accessible to lower class communities.
The large influx of several competing porcelain producers (of varying quality) from China resulted from the placement of high value on foreign porcelain in Philippine political economies.

The State of Jefferson Stories are a series of short stories by Harry Turtledove, published in between May and June, 2016 as well as January 2019.
The stories are light alternate history tales set in a world where sasquatches, Yetis and other similar related cryptids are real.
However, unlike common popular depictions of such creatures as less evolved primates, they are essentially another race of human beings, and have been integrated into human society.
Moreover, in 1919, several counties in northern California and southern Oregon seceded from their respective states and formed the new U.S. state of Jefferson.
This is the relevant Point of Divergence, as the existence of cryptid hominds did not affect the broader strokes of world history.
Even after 1919, history does not differ appreciably from real life; aside from the aforementioned map redrawing, the lives of a few historical individuals seem to be the only things altered in this timeline.
Both are slight vignettes focused more on world building, giving the reader insight into the culture and politics of Jefferson and its sasquatch governor.

Mostly wordless apart from a brief introductory narration by Anderson, the film metaphorically explores his fears and insecurities about dating as a gay man through the depiction of a large penis flying alone through space until meeting another penis and docking with it.
Anderson has described the film as an attempt to push the boundaries of non-fiction filmmaking, by reducing the element of personal essay and increasing the element of cinematic fantasia; however, he has also acknowledged that he had some difficulty convincing arts funders that the film was meant as a serious artistic statement and not just a five-minute dick joke.
In December 2019, the film was named to the Toronto International Film Festival's annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list for short films.

As professor of neurobiology at Cornell University, she developed quantitative electron microscopic autoradiography as a means to investigate the neuromuscular junction.
She was an undergraduate student at Hunter College, where she was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and graduated Suma cum laude.
She spent a year at the Australian National University before returning to Cornell University as a postdoctoral fellow with Marcus Singer.
Neurobiology was an emerging field at the start of Salpeter's research career, and she decided to concentrate her efforts on the neuromuscular junction.
The neuromuscular junction is a synapse that controls all voluntary movement, the formation of which was extensively investigated by Salpeter throughout her research career.
Salpeter struggled to secure a faculty position at Cornell University – Singer, her biggest advocate in the department, moved to Case Western Reserve University, and the academic community were not welcoming to women.
In December 1931, he was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and was selected for a navy pilot training program at Kasumigaura Training Naval Air Station (NAS), from which he graduated in 1932.
He led Aichi D3A dive bombers during the Attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 and during the Indian Ocean Raid in April.
In May 1942, Lieutenant Commander Takahashi participated in Operation MO to capture Port Moresby, which resulted in the Battle of the Coral Sea.
Rear Admiral Chuichi Hara, the tactical commander of carrier division, launched a strike force of 36 Aichi D3A dive bombers, 24 Nakajima B5N torpedo bombers and 18 Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighters that was led by Lieutenant Commander Takahashi.
Unsure about the conflicting in information from the sightings and unwilling the break the radio silence that would reveal the presence of his fleet, Hara did not recall the strike force.
Upon arrival to the area of the sighting at 1115, they could only find an oiler and a destroyer and spent couple of hours searching for the carriers.
After returning to the carriers, Lieutenant Commander Takahashi led the late afternoon strike to attack USN carriers, which consisted of 12 Aichi D3A dive bombers and 15 Nakajima B5N torpedo bombers.
Since landings were to be done during the night, only veteran pilots were selected (including Lieutenant Commander Shigekazu Shimazaki and Lieutenant Tamotsu Ema).
However, when they passed they were detected by the enemy radar and USN sent Grumman F4F Wildcat fighters led by Lieutenant Commanders Paul Ramsey and James Flatley to intercept.
The rest of the strike force continued the search but could not find anything so they jettisoned their bombs and torpedoes and headed back to IJN carriers.
However, none were lost and the remaining 12 dive bombers and three torpedo bombers returned and successfully landed on IJN carriers during the night-time.
Lieutenant Commander Takahashi led a strike force of 33 Aichi D3A dive bombers, 18 Nakajima B5N torpedo bombers and 18 Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighters.
Takahashi stayed in the area for some time to estimate the damage inflicted on USN carriers and radioed the reports back to IJN carriers.
He was posthumously promoted by two ranks to Captain and on 1 January 1943 received a special letter of commendation issued by Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto.

The Adana Agreement was an agreement made between Turkey and Syria in 1998 regarding the expulsion of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) from Syria.
Syria and Turkey had long had a strained relationship, owing to historical Syrian claims on the Hatay Province, water disputes over the flow of the Tigris–Euphrates river system and the two nations' opposite alignments within the context of the Cold War, as Turkey had joined NATO, while Syria grew close to the Soviet Union.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Syria–Turkey relations became even more strained as Syria had permitted both the establishment of PKK camps within its territory, as well as allowed its leader, Abdullah Öcalan, to reside within the country.
The PKK sought to establish an independent Kurdistan, which included areas held by Turkey and to this end fought in the Kurdish–Turkish conflict against the Turkish government.
As part of this campaign, Turkey threatened Syria with a ground invasion, should Syria not expel the group from its territory and hand over Ocalan to Turkish authorities.
Syria initially rejected Turkish demands, but after considerable negotiations decided to partially agree to the end of the PKK's presense in Syria.
In the runup to the agreement, the Syrian government made Ocalan leave the country, rather than hand him over to Turkish authorities, as per Turkish demands.
Following Ocalan's departure, Syria shut down PKK camps within its territory and arrested some PKK members which still had not left the country.
The Adana Agreement held until 2011, when overt Turkish support for the Syrian opposition in the context of the Syrian Civil War ended all goodwill between the two countries and the Syrian Government once again started supporting Kurdish groups as a counterweight to Turkish efforts in Syria.
She studied at the Faculty of Medicine of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and was secretary general of the Panhellenic Pharmaceutical Association and vice president of the Panhellenic Association of Pharmacists.

Gestalt is the overall effect of a composition, stemming from the idea that the whole is more than the sum of its parts.
A map’s visual hierarchy (the elements that stand out the most) should match its intellectual hierarchy (the most important parts of the map).
The title should be an important part of the layout's visual hierarchy because the title tells people what the map is about.
Scale is important to include on a map because it explains the size relationship between map features and the real world.
For example, a locator map can be used to show where the map’s area of interest is in a larger context or to zoom in on an area of the main map.
Inset maps may also show non-contiguous areas of the main map, like Alaska and Hawaii in a map of the United States.
This allows for data to be included in the layout that is not appropriate for a map or difficult to achieve in a map such as change over time.
It can offer a photo view of the area modeled in the map so that a reader can see the location looks like.
Players are thus given a classification within level k based on the level of sophistication that a player ascribes to the other competitors.
This pattern continues for higher-level players, but each player has only a finite depth of reasoning, meaning that individual players have a limit to the depth to which they can reason strategically.
One of these heuristics, in the present context, is an iterative model, where an individual begins with a naive belief, computes the best response to that belief, the best response to that best response, and so on.
This slightly more sophisticated (the level one) player believes that the other players will act non-strategically; his or her action will be the best response consistent with those first-order beliefs.
This pattern continues for higher-level players, but each player has only a finite depth of reasoning, meaning that individual players have a limit to the depth to which they can reason strategically.
Nagel [1995] found that the largest modes were at level-1 and level-2 choices, with a much smaller mode at level-3 and very little past that.
A mixture model is an econometric approach wherein sub-populations exist representing each type, and these subpopulations can be identified in some proportions.
Level-k theory assumes that players in strategic games base their decisions on their predictions about the likely actions of other players.
In its basic form, level-k theory implies that each player believes that he or she is the most sophisticated person in the game.
The degree and pattern of deviation from their prescribed choices determines the classification of a player as one type or another.
Alternative behavioral econometric models for the characterization of player heterogeneity, both between and within subpopulations of players, include using a model of computational errors and the allowing for diversity in prior beliefs around a modal prior for the subpopulation.

During 2015 and 2018 when there was a high incidence of tar spot, the weather was warmer with high humidity and precipitation frequency, possibly attributing to the increased number of cases reported.
Chemical control with one or two treatments of Fenpropimorph or Mancozeb applied every ten days were the most effective fungicides used in field trials.
Although no cultivars currently exist that are immune to this pathogen, CIMMYT has developed 14 inbred lines in Latin America that are highly resistant.
When surveyed by the University and DATCP, it was found that 33 counties had recorded cases, and 77 of 79 fields surveyed, or 97 percent, showed signs.
Tar spot causes low ear weight, vivipary, and poor kernel fill resulting in up to a 30 bushel loss per acre.

The Bab Doukkala Mosque (or Mosque of Bab Doukkala) is a major neighbourhood mosque (a Friday mosque) in Marrakech, Morocco, dating from the 16th century.
It was commissioned by Lalla Ma'suda bint Ahmad, a daughter of Muhammad al-Sheikh (the founder of the Saadian Dynasty) and mother of Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur, during the Saadian Dynasty.
Construction of the mosque began in 1557-58 CE (965 AH) and probably finished around 1570-71 CE (979 AH), which would have been under the reign of Moulay Abdallah al-Ghalib.
Meanwhile, the emptying of the old Jewish neighbourhoods had liberated a large amount of space within the city which was open to redevelopment.
It was conceived as part of a coherent religious and civic complex which included, in addition to the mosque itself, a madrasa, library, hammam (public bathhouse) with latrines, and a public fountain for distributing water to the locals.
This type of architectural complex was unprecedented in Morocco, and may have been influenced by the tradition of building such complexes in Mamluk Egypt and in the Ottoman Empire.

The Mouassine Mosque (or Mosque of Mouassine) is a major neighbourhood mosque (a Friday mosque) in Marrakech, Morocco, dating from the 16th century during the Saadian Dynasty.
Meanwhile, the emptying of the old Jewish neighbourhoods had liberated a large amount of space within the city which was open to redevelopment.
This type of architectural complex was unprecedented in Morocco, and may have been influenced by the tradition of building such complexes in Mamluk Egypt and in the Ottoman Empire.
The mosque was built on top of a former Jewish cemetery, which reportedly put off some worshipers in the early years after it was finished.

The group was established in 2011 shortly after the fall of the Libyan government led by Muammar Gaddafi and established training camps in Libya as well, and formally publiczed itself in September 2013 after claiming a suicide attack against the Egyptian military's intelligence headquarters in Rafah.
The group later went largely in active until 2017, by threatening to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and its local Sinai affiliate.
Though the group claims to be part of al-Qaeda and has expressed open support for it and its leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and has organizational links with its former Syrian affiliate HTS and claims to have links with its branch in Yemen, al-Qaeda has not acknowledged the group, neither recognizing it as an affiliate or support for it.
The group was established in February 2011 and conducted its first action as a group in May 2011 after the death of Osama bin Laden by showing off its military capabilities, and remained inactive from then until 2013.
In 2013, the group claimed responsibility for a major double suicide attack against an Egyptian military intelligence compound in northern Sinai in the city of Rafah, resulting in the death of 6 and several other injuries months after the fall of Egypt's former president Mohamed Morsi in July 2013.
In a statement regarding the attack Ansar Beit al-Maqdis praised the attack and claimed it was in response for Egyptian crackdowns against Islamists following the fall of Morsi and cooperation with Israel.
In November 2017 the group reemerged again, declaring its opposition to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Jund al-Islam claims that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and ISIL are Kharijites, and also claims that ISIL's Sinai branch has committed abuses against the local Muslim population and besieged the Gaza Strip.
In January 2018, a Russian foreign fighter part of ISIL's Sinai province defected to Jund al-Islam after several disagreements with ISIL's leadership in Sinai, and was featured in a video released by Jund al-Islam criticizing ISIL.

Cao Wenxuan (; born May 1934) is a Chinese ichthyologist, a former researcher and doctoral supervisor at the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
In spring 1922 she gave twenty concerts in France, and returned to the United States for further performances in the autumn of that year.

She made piano roll recordings of works by Liszt, Chopin, Schumann, Scriabin, Chabrier, Arensky, Massenet, Fauré, and Saint-Saens in the 1920s, and performed at New York's Hippodrome in 1925.
By the following year, they were understood to be lovers, and he demanded that she forgo further musical performances, and forbid the Italian press from covering any events where she performed.
She had three children, Reginaldo (born 1926), the son of Edmondo Borgo; Vanna (born 1932), believed to be the biological daughter of Benito Mussolini; and Micaela (born 1942), the daughter of Swiss businessman Enrico Wild, whom Brard married in 1945.
1725 – 26 April 1806) was an 18th-century Islamic scholar and first Almaami of Futa Toro, hailing from what is now Senegal.
He came from a line of Islamic scholars; his grandfather Lamin had performed the pilgrimage to Mecca, and his father Hamady studied the Qur'an in Futa Jallon.
Abdul Kader Kan was one of the candidates for the successor of Sulayman Bal, who had led the revolt with the intention of overthrowing the Deeñanke ruling class.
According to Ware, his nomination came after the refusal of the position by another cleric, and his own acceptance was hesitant until Sulayman was killed in battle.
Robinson cites what he describes as a more obscure tradition, in which Abdul Kadeer Kan was elected after a longer period of political confusion, and that the torodbe leadership was unsure if they wanted to elect a leader as an Almaami, which would have acted as an explicit declaration for a desire to establish a separate Islamic state.
He was then given a turban signifying his office by a cleric who had served as an advisor to the previous regime.
One source states that ceremony involved the full recitation of the Qur’an, the ‘Ishriniyyat, and the Dala'il al-Khayrat, with Kan making the clerics who recited them promise to correct him if they saw him failing to live up to the standards set by each work.
Based on the letters written by Thomas Clarkson, at least one scholar has made the argument that the reverend believed that Abdul Kader Kan had completely abolished the slave trade in Futa Toro.
A treaty had been signed which was meant to prevent the French from selling the people of Futa Toro into slavery, and the Almaami's success against the Emirate of Trarza may have been the result of Abdul Kader Kan's willingness to release the slaves of their slaves upon defeat.
It has been noted that, while definitive proof of this strategy as a reason for the campaign's success cannot be provided, the promise of releasing the slaves who fought against their masters was a common strategy in Africa as well as America at this time..
Others characterize his policy of slavery as simply more in accord with traditional Islamic slavery; that is to say that while Muslims could not be legally enslaved, nonbelievers were still licit for enslavement.
Though French slave traders were not allowed to either enslave the inhabitants of the Futa Toro nor transport slaves through the territory of the Imamate, the inhabitants themselves still owned slaves.
According to this understanding, the inhabitants of Futa Toro were not protected because of a general hostility to slavery, but rather because the Almaami's subjects were at least by definition Muslim.
Intelligent Information Society is a combination of data created, collected and accumulated through advanced information and communication technology infrastructure and artificial intelligence (AI).
It is a society in which new value is created and progress is achieved through the advancement of technology and the collection of data.
In the huge new paradigm of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the convergence of artificial intelligence, robot technology, big data, and software enters various fields such as labor, welfare, employment, education, and defense as well as 'smartization'.
The governing style of society changes from vertical hierarchical order of ruling not vertical hierarchical order of order and is characterized by hybrid culture.
However, if intelligence extends to things other than human beings, and transforms intelligence into products that exist independently in the outside society, it can shake the community when it becomes available to everyone.
The relationship that comes from the connection between the individual and the machine becomes more important than the community or association.
The role of social capital is greater than ever in an intelligent information society where connectivity is maximized by the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence.
And the ability of empathy to understand and perceive other human emotions by artificial intelligence becomes a keyword of social management.
Already, Joseph Nye argued that the proliferation of knowledge and networks in information has shifted the nature of power from hard power such as military and economic power to soft power such as cultural and political values and diplomacy.
The intelligent information society will be the inflection point of how society operates and operates from hard power to soft power.
Therefore, the economy of the intelligent information society also has the characteristics of the digital economy including the characteristics of soft power.
The Internet of Things, combined with creative ideas, serves as a driving force for continued economic growth, discovering more creative, lower cost and new services.
It is to create new added value by applying the Internet of Things to fields based on connected environments such as automotive, medical, energy and power.
Social production is a way of producing a product or service through a voluntary, open and horizontal collaboration of various people connected to social networks.
Jeremy Rifkin says social capital is as important as financial capital, access replaces ownership, cooperation rather than competition, the exchange value of capitalism replaces the shared value of the shared economy.
Therefore, future technological developments will be developed in the direction that Computing Technology plays a decisive role while combining Networking technology and Computing technology.
This can contribute to improving the quality of life with personalized and customized services that reflect the individual's situation and needs.
Economic activity is the driving force for solving social problems such as energy management, environment, safety, crime, health, transportation, and weather.
It aims to control uncertainty through the use of intelligent systems and technologies, establish social order with a predictive and proactive response to risks, and create a crime-free society.
By adding intelligence to sharing and linking, the ruling order of society is characterized by a vertical, horizontal, hierarchical order-oriented society.
Thus, citizens with big data-based information become pro-users who are both producers and suppliers of policies as well as users and operators of policies.
Checks and balances should be complemented by open civil society participation so that no government or any group of powers dominate.
Furthermore, the labor market is expected to be further divided into specialized technical jobs, such as Artificial intelligence, and simple labor jobs, resulting in fewer overall jobs.
The jobs of the more expensive human beings can be reduced and the status of the Middle class can be reduced.
In this case, it is a way for the intelligent information society to assume such a direction by improving the social quality of life as a problem that the intelligent information society should deal with and solve.
Therefore, we need to be able to discuss the issues of what kind of intelligence information society is assumed, how to operate the intelligence information society and to control the direction of technological development.
It is because of humans that society does not fall into technological all-roundness and make a direction for improving human life.

The Ayrshire Junior Football League, known as the Western Junior League from 1919 until 1968, was a football league competition operated in Ayrshire under the Scottish Junior Football Association which operated until a merger in 2002.
The membership was soon expanded in 1934 with a group of clubs from south-east Ayrshire whose local league had folded (clubs in the north had been reluctant to admit them previously due to travel difficulties involved, a factor which had also prevented local clubs joining other leagues such as the Scottish Junior Football League in the past).
From 1946 to 1976 the league was divided into North and South sections with the winners in a playoff to decide the overall champion, and thereafter two merit divisions were formed with a dozen clubs in each and promotion/relegation between them.
It was at this point that Auchinleck Talbot, Scottish Cup winners in the 1940s but never a consistent force and without a major trophy in several years, rose to dominate the Junior grade at both regional and national levels, which generally continued into the 21st century.
The divisional setup remained until 2002, when the largest clubs in Ayrshire and Central merged under a two-tier Super League within a new Scottish Junior Football Association, West Region to increase the number of lucrative matches to be played between them (the three regions in the east of the country did likewise).
A lower division of the West Region was designated specifically for legacy Ayrshire clubs until 2018 in parallel with two for Central clubs, when it was decided to organise all divisions on a regional basis.

The Guizhou clique (), also known as the Qian clique (Qian is the shortened name of Guizhou), was a minor warlord faction in the Warlord Era of the Republic of China, situated in the province of Guizhou.
Due to its weak economic situation, Guizhou warlords were typically dependent on more economically successful warlords such as the Yunnan clique and the Hunan warlords.
With the invasion of Guizhou by Yunnan general Tang Jiyao, Liu's enemies were defeated and Guizhou started a lasting relationship with Yunnan and especially Tang Jiyao.
Liu Xianshi's nephew, Wang Wenhua, disagreed with much of what Liu did, and was in conflict with him, using student organizations to agitate against him.
The Guizhou warlords did not participate in many wars or expansions aside from assisting their allies in the Yunnan clique with their expansion into Sichuan.
The Liu family would be one of the major forces in the early Guizhou clique, with many of its members holding important positions in the military.
Liu Guanli, Liu Xianshi, and Liu Xianqian took the opportunity to raise the local District Watch Force, and cooperated with the Qing army to recover the city, receiving an award for his actions.
After the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising in October 1911, governor Shen Yuqing went into a state of panic, and Liu Xianshi entered the provincial capital in an emergency effort to suppress the revolution.
However, while Liu Xianshi was on the way, Zhang Bailin, leader of the Guizhou Tongmenghui and Ren Kecheng, the local constitutionalist leader, as well as many others, forced Shen Yuqing to step down on November 4, declaring the independence of Guizhou.
The Guizhou New Army instructor and lecturer Wu Tang as well as Chief of the Army Primary School Yang Yicheng were recommended to become the governors of the Guizhou military government.
Zhao Dequan was to be the Vice Governor, Zhang Bailin the Dean of the Privy Council, Ren Kecheng the Vice President, and Zhou Peiyi as Secretary-General and Chief Executive Officer.
They ordered Dujun (military governor) Yang Yicheng to lead his army North, and for the Dean, Zhang Bailin, to leave the provincial capital to visit various places.
Although the revolution had been greatly weakened, Ren Kecheng, Liu Xianshi, Guo Chongguang, and other counter-revolutionaries felt that their power was insufficient and they dared not to launch a coup and seize power.
After a bit of hesitation, Cai E decided to send Tang Jiyao, then an intermediate officer of the Yunnan army whose troops were situated in the North of Yunnan, to enter Guizhou and settle the divides in the Guizhou government.
At this time, Zhong Changying, one of the leaders of the Guizhou Tongmenghui, passed through Kunming from Nanjing to return to Guizhou.
When he heard the news of the invasion, he urged Cai E not to interfere in the internal affairs of Guizhou Province.
Cai E, heeding the advice, ordered Tang Jiyao to divert his army's path into Sichuan and then into Hubei, but Tang Jiyao had been promised the position of governorship by the reactionary forces in Guizhou.
Tang reported that his front team had entered Guizhou and was unable to change course, so they had to go deep into Guizhou.
Zhong Changying chased the army in an attempt to persuade Tang Jiyao to change course, but he was assassinated in Anshun.
At first, the revolutionary government was tricked into believing that Tang's forces were simply passing through Guizhou on their way to aid revolutionary forces in Central China.
Yuan Shikai, then President of China, tried to intervene in the name of the central government, but his attempt was useless.
On March 4, 1912, Tang Jiyao became military governor of Guizhou, recognized in May 1912 by Beijing, with Liu Xianshi assuming the role of Minister of War.
Tang Jiyao and Liu Xianshi militarily ruled Guizhou jointly, with Liu commanding a new Citizen's Army, and Liu's allies becoming responsible for the civil administration of Guizhou.
This brought the revolutionaries to an end and paved the way for the taking of full political power by the Liu family.
Due to the sharing of power with Tang, Liu Xianshi's power was limited, but it would be rewarded with the removal of office of Cai E. In order to cultivate military talent, Tang Jiyao founded the Guizhou Military Academy, with Han Fenglou, a Yunnanese general, serving as its head.
In order to turn Guizhou into his own fiefdom, Tang Jiyao forbade the introduction of foreign progressive ideas, actively supported local forces and ideas, and established the Guizhou Unification Party as an organization to cement his power.
Key members of the Guizhou Unification Party were Liu Xianshi, Ren Kecheng, Dai Kan, He Linshu, and Guo Chongguang, although many others played an important part in this party.
Liu Xianshi initially stayed neutral, but when the situation became urgent, he had to declare Guizhou's independence on January 27, 1916.
Liu Xianshi held a military conference and decided to send the Yunnan Army Artillery Team, the Mechanical Team, and the 5th and 6th regiments of the Guizhou army.
In June, after Yuan Shikai's death, Beijing appointed Liu to the position of Dujun, with Dai Kan becoming the civil governor.
In August, Dai was transferred to the Office of Military Affairs of Sichuan, with the post of civil governor passed on to Liu Xianshi.
As the Liu family hailed from Xingyi, their group is called the Xingyi clique to differentiate them from the Tongzi clique, which would be led by Zhou Xicheng.
Xiong Fanyu was responsible for helping the Liu family with their schooling during the late Qing, and was the father-in-law of Liu Xianshi's son, Liu Gongliang, as well as serving as Liu Xianshi's secretary and the leader of the Guizhou branch of the Bank of China.
He Linshu was one of the main leaders of the Constitutionalists in Guizhou and the father-in-law to Liu Xianshi's second son, Liu Junzhuo, who served as the director of the Guizhou Government Office.
Zhang Xielu, who helped the Liu family with schooling in Xingyi, served as the director of the Finance Department under Liu Xianshi.
Liu used his son, Liu Gangwu, as his emissary to Sun Yat-Sen. Liu Xianqian was placed into power in Western Guizhou, placing him in direct control of Xingyi.
During a political crisis in 1916, Liu sent 400000 yuan to Shanghai from his treasury as an emergency fund in case he lost power.
Evidence suggests that the Liu and Wang clans of Guizhou had conflicts in the past, and that it was resolved through marriage, making Wang Wenhua Liu Xianshi's nephew.
Wang was an avid supporter of the revolutionaries, with progressive views similar to those of Sun Yat-sen. During the National Protection War, while Liu had been reluctant to fully commit to the war, Wang was strong in his support for Cai E and the anti-Yuan forces.
Wang had even told Liu that he would lead troops into Sichuan, and that Liu could save himself by saying that Wang had rebelled and was acting outside of his control.
Wang was unhappy with politics in Guizhou, and many members of the Liu family complained to Liu Xianshi about his tolerance of Wang and warned him of Wang being too powerful militarily.
Along with his brother Wang Boqun, Wang gathered a group of young officers from Guizhou who had studied at the Tokyo Shinbu Gakko, who had, while studying in Japan, started to support Sun Yat-sen's views.
Among these officers was He Yingqin, who would later become an important part of the Republic of China Army under Chiang Kai-shek.
He attempted to use his military power in Guizhou to implement Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary program, leading to the distinction between the Civilian Faction of Liu Xianshi and the Military Faction of Wang Wenhua, the former of which was made up of Xinhai-era reformers, and the latter of which was made up of May Fourth-era military professionals.
In 1917, Wang was successful in recruiting able young officers, and he rejected applications from candidates with relations to Liu Xianshi.
The Suiying school and the Guizhou Military Academy had an intense rivalry, with the Suiying school having many instructors that were not well-educated on military affairs and who had never had any battlefield experience.
In contrast, the Guizhou Military Academy, with its Japanese-style military education, was so popular it even began to draw students from neighboring provinces.
Wang expelled many students who were caught spying for the Suiying school and passing information about the inner workings of the Guizhou Military Academy to Liu Xianshi, with Wang and He going to great lengths to carefully examining candidates.
In late 1918, Wang Wenhua and He Yingqin created a new student organization named the Young Guizhou Association, inspired by the Young China Students' Association in Beijing (which had been created in June) and modeled on Giuseppe Mazzini's Young Italy.
The Young Guizhou Association called for students to call for the modernization of the province, increasing Wang's political power and taking the Liu–Wang conflict from the military scene to the student and civilian scene.
In response to the creation of the Young Guizhou Association, Liu Xianshi created his own student organization, named the Republic of China Patriotic Students' Association, with much of its message taken from the Young Guizhou Association, in order to turn young people away from Wang Wenhua and He Yingqin's student organization.
Liu Xianshi, at the time, attended a rally held jointly by the Young Guizhou Association as well as the Patriotic Students' Association.
With influence from events in Beijing and the Treaty of Versailles, Guizhou students in Hunan organized a National Salvation Association, with 600 members.
Students of the Institute of Law and Politics in Guiyang considered making a Guizhou branch of the National Student Alliance, which happened in June as representatives from national student movement alliances came to Guiyang.
In May 1919, Young Guizhou Association leaders met with representatives from 81 counties in order to create a new representative body for the Guizhou student movement named the Guizhou National People's Assembly, with more than 1000 people attending its first session in June.
When the May Fourth Movement spread to Guiyang, He Yingqin, as well as Zhang Pengnian, Zhang Xielu's brother and Chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Assembly, went to the National Citizen's Meeting in Guiyang on June 1, 1919.
Zhang Xielu's brother, Zhang Pengnian, who was the director of Nanming Middle School, convened the school body to warn them against political activism.
Likewise, Liu Xianshi's cousin, Liu Jingwu, who was the president of the Institute of Law and Politics, reprimanded his students in a similar way.
Liu Xianshi also made it so that students could not graduate or move up grades if they missed at least one third of their classes.
Wang Boqun, who was an emissary of Liu Xianshi, met Zhao Shijin, an overseas Chinese man who had previously helped Sun Yat-sen with funding infrastructure projects in China.
Zhao agreed to raise 5 million dollars to fund the project, signing an agreement in March 1919 which said that the Guizhou Provincial Assembly would have to authorize the construction of the railway within 3 months.
Liu Xianshi initially supported the project, but Wang Wenhua proposed that 1 out of the 5 million sent would be used for the army.
Zhang Xielu and Chen Tingce, Liu's supporters, were dissatisfied with Wang's proposal due to their dislike of Wang's growing political power as well as the unwillingness to take on too much debt.
Zhang demanded that the loan would be restricted to 2 million dollars, and for the money only to be applied for infrastructure investments.
Zhang, in a several hundred page long report, detailed his opposition to the loan and to the railroad, which changed Liu's mind.
They persuaded Ren Kecheng to chair the committee, who proposed that Liu Xianshi step down as military governor (Dujun) and appoint Wang in his stead, keeping Liu as civilian governor and handing over military power to Wang.
It was, by then, clear that Wang was determined to remove Liu from power, but was kept from doing so, possibly from familial relations.
After a banquet at Wang Wenhua's house attended by multiple leaders of the Guizhou clique (including Liu Xianshi) to discuss provincial affairs on November 26, 1919, an assassin shot twice at Chen at 11p.m., leaving him wounded.
Tang Jiyao shared Liu Xianshi's distaste for Wang - Some sources claim that Tang sent a secret telegram to Liu, saying that Wang was unfit for command due to his lack of any formal military training and his over-reliance on his subordinate officers.
He conversed with two of his subordinates, Zhu Shaoliang and Gu Zhenglun, about the plan to remove Liu Xianshi from power.
Zhang Pengnian claims that before he left, Wang drew up two lists of names with Gu - one for those who were to be immediately assassinated, and the other for those who would be observed and possibly killed in the future.
He Yingqin favored cutting the list down, but Sun favored adding names to the list in order to destroy Liu Xianshi's faction easier.
Liu also consulted Yuan Zuming, one of his supporters who was a subordinate of Wang Wenhua, to sow disorder from within Wang's faction.
When his young son cried and complained that his father was being taken away, a soldier shot the boy in the head.
Guo was taken to a bridge outside the North gate of Guiyang, where they set him on a butcher's table and beheaded him.

Protests are taking place across India and overseas against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), which was enacted into law on 12 December 2019, and against proposals to enact a nationwide National Register of Citizens (NRC).
The Amendment benefits Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Christian and Parsi refugees from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh who sought refuge in India before 2015; the Amendment leaves out Muslims and others from these countries, as well as refugee Sri Lankan Tamils in India, Rohingyas from Myanmar, and Buddhist refugees from Tibet.
The proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC) will be an official record of all legal citizens of India where individuals would have to provide a prescribed set of documents issued before a specified cutoff date for inclusion in the register.
Those who fail to qualify for the NRC will be able to avail the benefits of the CAA if they claim to be religious minorities fleeing persecution from the listed countries.
Protesters throughout India, see the new law as discriminating against Muslims and the poor who do not have access to valid proofs of citizenship, and as unconstitutional; they are demanding the amendment be scrapped and that the nationwide NRC not be implemented.
They are concerned that Muslim citizens of India, and poor Indians will be rendered stateless and put into detention camps, by the proposed nationwide NRC in combination with the CAA.
They are also concerned that all citizens will be affected by the bureaucratic exercise of the NRC where they will have to prove their citizenship for inclusion in the registry.
Protesters in Assam and other northeastern states do not want Indian citizenship to be granted to any refugee or immigrant, regardless of their religion, as they fear it would alter the region's demographic balance, resulting in a loss of their political rights, culture, and land.
They are concerned that it will motivate further migration from Bangladesh as well as violate the Assam Accord, which was a prior agreement reached with the central government on migrants and refugees.
Police forcibly entered the campus of Jamia, used batons and tear gas on the students, and more than 200 students were injured and around 100 were detained overnight in the police station.
Two 17-year old minors were among those reported to have been killed due to police firing live ammunition on protesters in Assam.
So far, at least eight states have announced that they will not implement the Act or the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
While one state and two union territories have refused to implement the CAA, three other states have only declined the implementation of the NRC.
In response, the Union Home Ministry has stated that states lack the legal power to stop the implementation of Citizenship Amendment Act as the act has been enacted under the Union List of the 7th Schedule to the Constitution of India.
The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019 (CAB) was introduced by the Home Minister on the floor of the Parliament of India in 9 December 2019, in response to the exclusion of 1.9 million people, predominantly Hindus in the National Register of Citizens for Assam.
It amends the Citizenship Act of 1955 to grant a swifter path to Indian citizenship under the assumption of religious persecution to any individual belonging to the specific minorities of Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, who entered India on or before 31 December 2014.
The Act also seeks to relax the requirement of residence in India for citizenship by naturalization from 11 years to 5 years for migrants covered under the Act.
However, the Act does not mention Muslims and does not offer the same eligibility benefits to Muslim immigrants or immigrants belonging to other religions.
The Act also does not mention any benefits for various other refugees which form the bulk of the refugees living in India, such as Sri Lankan Tamil refugees who faced persecution during the Sri Lankan Civil War, Rohingya refugees who were victims of the Rohingya genocide, Nepali refugees who faced ethnic cleansing in Bhutan and Tibetan Buddhist refugees who faced persecution in China.
According to the Intelligence Bureau, the immediate beneficiaries of the new law will be 25,447 Hindus, 5,807 Sikhs, 55 Christians, 2 Buddhists and 2 Parsis.
Critics of the Act have stated that due to the National Register of Citizens (NRC), Muslims could be made stateless, while the Citizenship Amendment Act would be able to shield people with Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi or Christian identity as a means of providing them with Indian citizenship even if they failed to prove that they were citizens of India under the stringent requirements of the NRC.
Some critics allege that it is a deliberate attempt at disenfranchising and segregating Muslims in line with the ethnonationalist Hindutva ideology of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The home minister Amit Shah had previously set a deadline for the implementation of a countrywide NRC by stating that the register would be rolled out before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Protesters in Assam and other northeastern states opposed the grant of Indian citizenship to any refugee or immigrant, regardless of their religion, because they fear it would alter the region's demographic balance.
They have campaigned since the 1970s against all refugees, and they fear that the new law will cause a loss of their political rights, culture and land.
They are also concerned that it will trigger more migration from Bangladesh as well as violate the Assam Accord, which was a prior agreement reached with the central government on migrants and refugees.
Authorities had arrested over 3000 protesters as of 17 December 2019, and some news outlets have described these protests as riots.
The Act was criticized by various NGOs, students bodies and liberal, progressive, and socialist organizations across the country, with the Indian National Congress and other major political parties announcing their staunch opposition.
The states of Rajasthan, West Bengal, Kerala, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Telangana and Chhattisgarh have announced that they will not implement either the National Register of Citizens (NRC) or the Citizenship Amendment Act.
The states of Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Odisha have however refused to only implement the NRC, while the state of Punjab and the union territories of Delhi and Puducherry have refused to implement the Act while only expressing disapproval of the NRC.
The states of West Bengal and Kerala have also put a hold on all activities relating to the preparation and update of the National Population Register which is necessary for the Census as well as the implementation of the National Register of Citizens.
Although some of the states have opposed the Act, the Union Home Ministry clarified that states lack the legal power to stop the implementation of CAA.
The Indian Union Muslim League and various other bodies have also petitioned the Supreme Court of India to strike down the Act as illegal and unconstitutional.
According to Yashwant Sinha, a former administrator, Minister of Finance and Minister of External Affairs under Prime Ministers Chandra Shekhar and Atal Bihari Vajpayee respectively, the unrest witnessed is also caused due to the economic crisis facing the country where the issue of CAA-NRC has acted as a trigger for it.
The State Bank of India estimates a growth rate of 4.6% for the financial year 2020, which would be the lowest since the 2008 Global Recession where the growth rate had been 3.9%.
The unemployment rate of India was reported to have reached a 45 year high of 6.1% in the financial year of 2017–2018.
The Center for Monitoring Indian Economy stated the unemployment rate to be 8.45% with a rate of 37.48% for the 20-24 age group and 12.81% for the 25-29 age group in October 2019.
The Oxfam India data states that the richest 1% of the population's control over the country's wealth increased from 58% to 73% between 2018–2019, while the wealth of the poorest 50% increased by 1%.
Various opposition parties supporting the protests have announced that they will bring up economic crisis as an issue of protest alongside CAA and NRC.
Several opposition and protesting leaders have stated that the issue of CAA and NRC were brought about to divert the political discourse away from the economic condition of the country.

Denis Le Bihan (born July 30, 1957) is a medical doctor, physicist, member of the Institut de France (French Academy of sciences), member of the French Academy of Technologies and director since 2007 of NeuroSpin, an institution of the Atomic Energy and Alternative Energy Commission (CEA) in Saclay, dedicated to the study of the brain by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a very high magnetic field.
He obtained his doctorate in physics in 1987, his thesis focusing on a completely new method of magnetic resonance imaging that he introduced and developed (diffusion imaging and IVIM imaging (en) for IntraVoxel Incoherent Motion).
Denis Le Bihan joined the Frédéric Joliot Hospital Service of the CEA in 1994 to head the anatomical and functional neuroimaging laboratory.
As part of the Franco-German Iseult NeuroSpin project, CEA teams are in the process of finalizing the construction of a unique MRI scanner using a record magnetic field of 11.7 teslas, thanks to a magnet of more than 100 tons with an original design.
Denis Le Bihan is particularly recognized for his pioneering work on diffusion MRI, a concept whose principles he established and demonstrated its potential, particularly in the medical field during the 1980s.
Since then, Denis Le Bihan has continued to develop and perfect the method, and has further extended its fields of application.
Diffusion MRI allows us to detect in the context of the emergency, a few hours after the onset of a stroke, the area of the brain that is dying because it is deprived of blood flow when a blood vessel has been obliterated by a clot.
The consequences of stroke are formidable: it is the third leading cause of death, and in 30% of cases it leaves severe functional sequelae (hemiplegia, speech disorders) in patients who become unable to support themselves.
Diffusion MRI has led to the urgent and accurate identification of stroke and the development of drugs that, injected in the very first hours following stroke, can dissolve the clot and immediately clear up symptoms.
The vast majority of MRI scanners manufactured and installed worldwide are equipped with the diffusion MRI method introduced by Denis Le Bihan.
The brain contains about 100 billion neurons, our grey matter, which are connected to each other at a rate of 1,000 to 10,000 connections per neuron through extensions called axons that constitute the fibres of the white matter.
The diffusion MRI made it possible, for the first time, to produce 3D images of these connections (tractography), in a way that is totally harmless to patients (just lie down for about ¼ hours in the MRI scanner).
It is therefore sufficient to obtain images of the diffusion of water in different directions to account for the orientation of the fibres, which Denis Le Bihan's team first showed in 1991.
With the diffusion tensor MRI technique (DTI) developed by Denis Le Bihan and Peter Basser at the NIH in 1992 and its variants developed since then (high angular resolution methods), it is now possible to obtain atlases of intracerebral connections with very high accuracy.
Diffusion MRI can therefore not only diagnose and study white matter fibre disorders (such as multiple sclerosis), but also subtle connection abnormalities in neural circuits.
At the other end of life, normal or pathological aging (neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease) is also accompanied by a rearrangement of brain connections that diffusion MRI shows.
Diffusion MRI is becoming increasingly important at the beginning of the 21st century in the exploration of cancers, particularly breast, prostate and liver cancers.
While diffusion MRI is mainly used for the brain, Denis Le Bihan's first trials actually focused on the liver to identify tumours and distinguish them from vascular malformations.
Diffusion MRI therefore makes it possible to identify these cancerous lesions and to judge the effect of treatments (such as chemotherapy) well before clinical improvement, which makes it possible to adapt treatment very early in the absence of a positive response.
Denis Le Bihan is a prolific author with more than 250 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals and a large number of book chapters.
The Decauville Tramway at Exposition Universelle in Gent, 1913 (French Tramway de Decauville Ainé) was a temporary narrow gauge raiload with a gauge of , which was operated during the World Fair held in Ghent from 26 April to 3 November 1913.
After the success of the Decauville railway at Exposition Universelle (1889) in Paris, the Belgian subsidiary of the French company Decauville in Corbeil-Essonnes exhibited their products also at the Exposition universelle et internationale (1913).
On the side of the engine cover they had a discreet lettering of the company 'Decauville', which was responsible for the distribution of this locomotive in Belgium.
The operation was carried out by a 24-strong team of 10 locomotive drivers, 12 uniformed conductors, a railway attendant dressed in white and the train dispatcher.

In France, he is considered to be the first to research the establishing relationships between behavior and neuroscience, as well as creating an integrative neurobiology.
Pupil of the Nation (Rocroi Court, 1943), he completed his secondary studies in Givet (in the Ardennes), then at the Lycée Henri IV (in Paris), and at the Lycée de Brest.
SPCN at the Faculty of Sciences in Paris (1952), then preparatory class (Brest Maritime Hospital) for the entrance exam to the National School of the Marine Health Service (1953); entry to the School (1954), Bordeaux.
During medical training (Doctorate in 1968), he decided to focus on what was still neuropsychiatry; after specialty internship (1968), chooses child neuropsychiatry; this activity will cease in 1978.
In addition to medicine, he completed his training: Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy, Psychology) 1962, Bachelor of Science (Chemistry - Physiology) 1962.
From 1980 to 2004, he was Director of Studies at the École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE 3rd section), in Experimental Psychopathology.
As Professor Emeritus at the University of Bordeaux, he has headed several CNRS and Inserm units, then designed and directed the Institut François Magendie de Neurosciences (Inserm - CNRS).
Michel le Moal is considered to be the initiator in France of research aimed at establishing relationships between behaviour and neuroscience and at creating an integrative neurobiology.
He attempts to explain the relationship to drugs by integrating an individual's history and education into the cellular functioning of the brain.
Advances in behavioural neuroscience and psychiatric research, as well as his many interviews with Henri Laborit, were the reasons for Le Moal's stays in the United States since the late 1970s, where progress was rapid.
At Caltech, he learned the methods of multiple intracerebral computer recording in animals free of movement, then at the Salk and Scripps, the basics of Neuroendocrinology and Neuropharmacology and in all these laboratories the behavioural approaches and the need for integrative Neuroscience and the difficulties of modelling in experimental Psychopathology.
From 1980 to 1995, his research on the modalities of the transition from normal to pathological was based on methods of behavioural analysis and their measurement .
It studies the consequences of harmful environments, aggressions (stress) and proposes the measurement of specific markers acting centrally (including the stress system and its central receptors, the neurons involved).
He will be the first to set up lifetime studies, for example based on prenatal stress; he will demonstrate the behavioural consequences, including attention disorders, self-regulation and progression to drug addiction.
From 1995 to 2005, in continuity with previous results, Le Moal focused the work of its teams on a fundamental question of Psychopathology: why some subjects succumb and others do not, or show resilience; thus the causes of interindividual, genetic, developmental and environmental differences.
The underlying neuro-adaptive processes will be studied on the basis of vulnerability to addictions, the effects of chronic stress, and pathological aging.
The results obtained by Michel Le Moal's research (more than 450 publications, 36,000 citations) reflect the exceptional quality of his French and American collaborators.

Covering an area of , this beech forest, located in Le Petit Caux in the north-east of the department and the region, has close historical links to the Orléans family.
A narrow band more than 30 km long and 5 to 6 km wide, the Eu Forest covers the easternmost part of the chalk plateau that separates the Yères and Bresle rivers to the south-east of the town of Eu.
Nearby isolated woodlands may also be included (adding a further total surface of ): the woods of Tôt, Gomard, Cuverville, Saint-Martin-le-Gaillard along the Yères, and the wood of Guimerville from the Grand-Marché to the south-east of Blangy-sur-Bresle.
The National Forest Fund then further encouraged the re - encroachment of the coppice areas under single forest and coppice of private forests (throughout France ).
The history of this forest begins with the abandonment, in the third century, of the Gallo-Roman city, 'Briga', built on the Beaumont plateau at a place called Bois l'Abbé, current excavations showing that this city was not surrounded by forested areas.
In 1036, Robert, Count of Eu, granted the monks of the Abbey of Saint-Michel du Tréport the tithe of pannage of the forest of Eu and all the sartage of this same forest.
By a charter of August 1282, Jean 1st of Brienne, Count of Eu, undoubtedly at the instigation of his viscounts, limited the monks' pannage in the forest of Eu to eight free-range pigs, while maintaining free pasture for all their animals in the forest.
It seems that the forest covered, until the year 1000, the whole plateau separating the valleys of Yères and Bresle; large clearances were then undertaken from the 11th century to the 13th century.
It was the time of initial fragmentation of the forest by cultivated fields which still divide the current forest of Eu into three massifs.
Land clearing slowed in the 14th century with the start of the Hundred Years' War, the invasions of the troops of the King of England put an end to the prosperity of Normandy.
The Counts of Eu, landowners, found it more advantageous to sell the trees to charcoal burners, woodworkers and glassmakers than to cultivate low-paying lands.
The exploitation of the forest contributed to the establishment of many glass factories in the surroundings, in particular in the Bresle valley.
After belonging to the Dukes of Normandy, then to the Counts of Eu, the forest was confiscated during the French Revolution but it was returned to its former owner in 1814: Louise Marie Adélaïde de Bourbon, widow of Philippe Égalité and mother of Louis Philippe I, future king of France.
It was after this restitution that the 28 cast iron posts were installed across the forest, to mark the intersections of the paths.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the forest passed into the hands of a civil society founded by friends of the Duke of Orleans to avoid state control.
Finally, after the failure of an amicable acquisition by the authorities, the expropriation was decided by the law of August 13, 1913, allocating 90% to the state and 10% to the department of Seine-Inférieur (modern Seine-Maritime) on August 15, 1915.

Styrene for example is distilled at temperatures above 100°C whereupon it undergoes thermal polymerisation at a rate of ~2% per hour.
Once initiated polymerisation is typically radical in mechanism as well as being highly exothermic, thus it can lead to a runaway reaction and potential explosion, as well as completely clogging the fractionating tower.
The term 'inhibitor' is often used in a general sense to describe any compound used to prevent unwanted polymerisation, however these compounds are often divided into 'retarders' and 'true inhibitors'.
Retarders display no induction period but provide a permanent decrease in the rate of polymerisation, while themselves being degraded only slowly.
In an industrial setting compounds from both classes will usually be used together, with the true inhibitor providing optimal plant performance and the retarder acting as a failsafe.
These can be effectively terminated by combining with other radicals to form neutral species and many true inhibitors operate trough this mechanism.
This is referred to as air inhibition and is a diffusion-controlled reaction with rates typically in the order of 10–10 mol s, the resulting peroxy radicals (ROO•) are less reactive towards polymerisation.
Certain compounds marketed as true inhibitors, such as p-phenylenediamines, phenothiazine and hydroxylamines like HPHA and DEHA, are also thought to react through the intermediary of aminoxyl radicals.
Traditionally, nitrophenol compounds such as dinitro-ortho-cresol and di-nitro-sec-butylphenol (DNBP) have been the most important class of retarders, however they are coming under regulatory pressure due to their high toxicity.
Purified monomers stored at ambient temperatures are of less risk of polymerising and as such the most highly reactive inhibitors are rarely used at this stage.
Subsequent batches were found in: September-October 2000 (35 coins), 2001 (21 coins), 2002 (13 coins), August-September 2003 (18 coins), 2005 (two batches of six coins and three coins), October 2007 (3 coins), 2008 (six coins).

In The Body Keeps the Score, Van Der Kolk focuses on survivors that have undergone their challenges with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
These survivors each of different stories, whether that be someone coming back from war, struggling from sexual abuse, or facing domestic violence.
He also focuses on how the chemistry and structures of the brain change by using scientific tests that prove how different parts of the brain are affected by trauma and how it can impact an individuals personality.
Van Der Kolk touches on how PTSD can change the behavior of an individual (long term and short term) and how it can play a role in their life when it comes to pleasure, self-control, and trust.
The book is split into five different parts (Part one: Rediscovery of Trauma [Chapters 1-3], Part two: This is Your Brain on Trauma [Chapters 4-6], Part three: The Minds of Children [Chapters 7- 10], Part 4: The Imprint of Trauma [Chapters 11-12], and Part 5: Paths to Recovery [Chapters 13- 20]) each touching on a different perspective of trauma.
Some people may become catatonic, some may suffer from a dissociative disorder, others may act out in anger and others may induce self harm.
Ultimately, going through different traumatic experiences alters individuals differently and can causes personality changes that can hurt the victims and the people around them.
Part One of the book focus on different stories of individuals suffering from PTSD and how it has affected them each in their own way.
In victims suffering from PTSD, the body continues to fight the threat from the past, even if the victim is not consciously thinking about it.The brain undergoes changes once exposed to stress in a large degree.
Structure and/or hormones in the brain can alter and continue to be activated when someone goes through a traumatic experience that can lead to health issues and/or personality changes.
This part of the book focuses on the brains response to trauma; how different structures of the brain and influxes in hormones are affected by trauma and how that impacts the victims behavior.
There is a great difference in the way that information is processed between children that have undergone traumatic experience versus children who have not.
In Part Two of the book, van der Kolk compares how children that have gone through a traumatic event perceive information versus children that have not undergone through any traumatic experience.
This includes aggressive behavior (hitting and biting), becoming easily attached and detached, compulsive masturbation, lashing out at others or pets and lack of sense of self.
Van der Kolk took it upon himself to run some social experiments to test the perception of children with traumatic experiences versus children who have not had any traumatic experience.
The kind of test van der Kolk used was called Thematic Apperception Tests (TAT) which is a projective assessment measure that uses a set of picture cards to discover individuals inner feelings and reality.
On the other hand, when presented to children that did have a history of traumatic experience, he found that in every response, no matter how innocent the picture, they showed feelings of danger, aggression, sexual arousal, and even terror.
When someone undergoes a traumatic event, it can change the attitude, behavior, and the way the victim perceives past memories or even new situations.
In part three of the book, van der Kolk writes about his experience with patients who have suffered from a traumatic experience and how they recall the event as well as how they recall any past memory.
Van der Kolk stresses that in order to start recuperating from a traumatic event, the victim must be able to remember the event without it being hurtful to the body.
Part five of the book focuses on different types of therapy techniques that are proven to be helpful for individuals struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Born in 1981, Hanson began painting as a young girl, learning oils, acrylics, watercolor, pen and ink, pastels and life drawing from art instructors.
She began commissioning portraits of her neighbor's pets at age 10 and by age 12, she was employed after school by a mural studio, learning the techniques of acrylics on the grand scale of 40-foot canvases.
Although Hanson was interested in art at an early age, she didn't consider it a career when it came time for college.
Hanson says that although she enjoyed her courses in subjects such as microbiology, the actual work in the field seemed mundane.
After graduation, Hanson moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where she began an import business, but her rock climbing and hiking hobbies ultimately led her back to her childhood passion for painting.
During an interview, Hanson said she takes dozens of reference photos, which she can later use in the studio before she paints.
Hanson's paintings depict the natural beauty of the United States and around the world, but her roots are in the American West.
Hanson has mentioned that she has been inspired by Red Rock Canyon near Las Vegas, Nevada and Mojave Desert in Southern California.
She visits the Colorado plateau every year, backpacking and hiking through areas such as Zion National Park, Canyon de Chelly, and Monument Valley.
For her paintings, Hanson transforms the landscapes into abstract mosaics of color and texture, her impasto application of paint lending a sculptural effect to the art.
Sunsets and dawns continue to serve as a source of inspiration for Hanson's work, as do rocks, which often translate into abstracted shapes that form a mosaic of colors on her canvases.
Hanson's work has been displayed in multiple fine art galleries and museums such as the St. George Art Museum, La Salle University Art Museum, Mattatuck Art Museum and Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art.
The disaster on Chernobyl Atomic Power Station on April 26, 1986 gave birth to a massive national-democratic movement which had a turning point in 1989.
From the very beginning, the Communist Party’s authorities resorted to silencing and falsifying the causes, scope, and consequences of the Chernobyl accident.
It was necessary to communicate to the population of Ukraine and the world community the information about real threats, the elimination of which was impossible under conditions of the totalitarian regime.
The All-Ukrainian Environmental Campaign provided a certain impetus to the social and political processes in Ukraine, which culminated in the proclamation of state independence.
A copy of the Regulation was sent in advance to the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic Valentina Shevchenko.
All-Ukrainian Environmental Campaign took place along the following route: Netishyn (Khmelnitsky Atomic Power Station) – Slavuta – Shepetivka – Novohrad-Volynskyi – Korosten – Ovruch – Narodychi – Poliske – Ivankiv – Vyshgorod – Kyiv.
It was necessary to break the information blockade, distribute materials of patriotic publications with the Program and Charter of the Movement, information about political, environmental, linguistic situation in Ukraine, national symbols and more.
It was planned to collect as many signatures as possible under the Appeal to M. Gorbachev, the President of the USSR, demanding to stop the atomic minelaying of Ukraine, and to solve the issue of the construction and operation of nuclear power plants independently through the referendums.
The majority of the participants of the campaign were residents of Brovary and Brovary Region: Valeriy Sereda (chairman of the organizing committee), Ivan Odinets, Natalka Radchenko, Volodymyr Siroklin, Vasyl Stashenko, Anatoly Fedyk, Volodymyr Shvab (commander of the group), Vasyl Shust.
During the Campaign, the levels of radioactive contamination were determined, and explanatory work among the population was conducted (some of the participants of the Campaign were scientists – doctors and candidates of physical and mathematical sciences from the Institute of Nuclear Research).
The signed appeals were passed by the group of participants of the campaign in Moscow to the USSR People’s Deputies Y. Shcherbak, V. Yavorivsky, M. Kutsenko who delivered them to the President of the USSR M. Gorbachev.
The Lithuanian representatives noted that they had chosen the path to restoring Lithuania’s state independence, so they could not participate in the event.
In 1993 Cummins was a finalist in the Rose of Tralee festival, an international event which is celebrated among Irish communities all over the world; at each festival in Tralee, Ireland a woman is crowned the Rose.
After university she spent two years working as a bartender in Belfast, Northern Ireland before moving back to the United States in 1997 and beginning work at Penguin in New York City.
In 2018 the book was sold to Flatiron after a three-day bidding war between nine publishers which resulted in a seven-figure deal.
However, approximately one month before the release of the book, a negative review from Myriam Gurba was published in Tropics of Meta.
Cummins is a speaker with Macmillan Speakers and gives talks about victims' rights, her family's experience with the criminal justice system, and migration.

The Casino was a venue occupying the space of the former People's Theater, which had been in operation from 1890 to 1904.
The club was known as one of the places most welcoming of gays on the West Coast, and became popular with drag queens.
At the time, it was not widely allowed for men to dance together, but they were allowed to do so at The Casino, because the establishment paid off local policemen.
This fact made the establishment popular, via an underground network of information about nightlife for gays and lesbians, and caused it to be known as something of a speakeasy.
Prior to the legalization of dancing of same-sex couples, same-sex contact at The Casino was primarily through conversations and stealthy eye contact via the bar's mirrors.
The Radio Spectrum Policy Programme (RSPP) was a five year programme which set out regulatory requirements, goals and priorities of the European Union relating to the radio spectrum.
It attempted to standardise the frequencies that different types of communication could use and also set goals as to when this standardisation should be complete.
A legislative review recommended implementing an adapted programme as legislation in a regulation, and so a modified version was adapted into a proposed regulation.
The legislation was supported by the European Parliament, but was subsequently removed after criticism from member states in the European Council.
The modified version was then used as a basis for the section on the radio spectrum in the European Electronic Communications Code.
The first version laid out goals and their timescales, which aimed to standardise the assignment of the radio spectrum across the EU.
Several member states failed to meet certain goals due to a variety of reasons and this meant that the programme did not achieve standardisation in all member states early on.
In the year after its introduction, the European Commission initiated three different legislative reviews of the programme, with the third review proposing that the commission adopt the programme into regulation.
Adapting it into a regulation would mean that once it was adopted it would be enforceable in member states without national legislation, ensuring that every member state met the goals on time.
In 2016, the European Electronic Communications Code was created, which incorporated a section on the radio spectrum and this section was mostly based on the modified 2013 programme.
Some of the goals of the programme included switching to digital broadcasting from analogue, assignment of certain frequencies to mobile broadband throughout the EU and making use of the freed radio spectrum space for wireless communication.

John Crowder (1756 – December 2, 1830) was an English alderman of the ward of Farringdon Within, and Lord Mayor of London.
He served his apprenticeship to a printer, and at the expiration of his time, went to London, and obtained a situation in his majesty's printing office, then under the control of William Strahan.
This engagement, in which Crowder took a very active part, continued until the year 1787, the time of Blyth's death, when Crowder, who the year before had married Blyth's niece, Mary Ann James (died November, 1823), succeeded to the management of the whole concern.
This he carried on for upwards of thirty years; and, during this period, was frequently employed in printing valuable works for the booksellers.
Residing, as he had during almost the whole of his life, in the ward of Farringdon Within, he was, in 1800, elected one of their representatives in the common council, afterwards became one of their deputies, (this ward had two) and on the death of Thomas Smith, esq.
On November 9, 1829, he entered on his mayoralty, and in the same year, served as Master of the Company of Stationers.

Megan Carey is a neuroscientist and Group Leader of the Neural Circuits and Behavior Laboratory at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown in Lisbon, Portugal.
She received her PhD in 2005 from University of California at San Francisco where she studied neural mechanisms of motor learning in Stephen Lisberger's lab.
They noticed though, that by keeping all animals walking at a similar pace on motorized wheels, the variability diminished and the animals learned the task at a similar rate.
Using this device, mice learn to modulate their walking so that their front paws and back paws land at the same time, even though each side is moving at a different speed.
They discovered that inhibiting neural circuits in the cerebellum, but not the cerebral cortex, was a detriment to learning the walking behavior.
The core curriculum is complemented by short workshops called Labs, which are open to the public in addition to Wayfinding students.
Labs focus on a specific topic or skillset and have included topics such as Hip Hop, immigration, conflict resolution, gender and sexuality, social media, personal finance, and Pacific Northwest ecology.
Students are required to complete two internships or self-directed projects during their time at Wayfinding, in order to gain real-world experience, contribute to the Portland community, and get a clearer understanding of what work they might want to do.
During breaks between terms, Wayfinding Academy offers trips for students and supporters to learn about other cultures and have new experiences.

The ERP-22 de Agosto was an Argentinian guerrilla faction split in 1973 of the Military Committee of the Federal Capital of the People's Revolutionary Army (ERP), as a result of tactical divergences regarding the organization's position before the electoral act of March 11, 1973.
ERP members who disagreed with this position were separated after the meeting of the Central Committee in December 1972 (the first in which Mario Santucho was present after returning from his exile in Cuba), in which they concluded that It was impossible to continue within the organization.
The initial structure of the ERP-22 was a copy of the command line that the splinters had when they were part of the ERP.
The date of the name refers to the day of 1972 in which the first large-scale joint operation of the ERP, Montoneros and Peronist Armed Forces (FAP) guerrillas takes place in order to free many of their main chiefs imprisoned in the Rawson criminal.
At 8:20 local time they park a van and descend three guerrillas dressed in work clothes and carrying boxes of whiskey.
The van leaves and they avoid the obstacle of the doorman of the building where García lived because he was not there.
Garcia's maids opened them because they presented the card of the mayor of Buenos Aires, Saturnino Montero Ruiz, as the one who sent the gifts.
The guerrillas reduced the staff and came to Garcia, who slept next to a well-known television artist, and reassured him, while another militant arrived to pretend to be the maid in case some unforeseen event happened.
The ERP-22 required to release the publication, on the front page of the newspaper, of a statement calling to vote for FreJuLi.
Then, the owner of Chronicle was taken to an ERP-22 dependent house, where he was held twelve hours until the newspaper edition came out, when he was released.
At first it was believed that everything had been a maneuver to promote itself and although this theory was suggested, the editor knew that he had gone through a difficult experience and the ERP-August 22 had taken his first blow to affirm its independent existence.
The ERP-22 decides to make fun of these operations by taking the town of Engineer Maschwitz, near the capital of the country.
At 10.00 each of the operating groups marches to their positions: the first team, five militants, will take the police station; the second, two members, will take the mail and cancel the telegraph; The third with three will take care of the station and the fourth with two will cut the telephone lines.
A first attempt was made, which failed because the militant in the parked car made the wrong signal to the motorcycle and it took another path.
At the entrance of the Faculty of Law, a car waited for them with which they continued on their way to intervene surgically, but Palmeiro finally died, but not before learning about the success of the operation by radio.
What they did not say, is that as of April 30, Galician Victor José Fernández Palmeiro, next to the sixteen martyrs of Trelew, he began to live in the heart of his town.

The basic structural unit of chromatin is the nucleosome: this consists of the core octamer of histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) as well as a linker histone and about 180 base pairs of DNA.
H4K5ac has also been implicated in epigenetic bookmarking which allows gene expression patterns to be faithfully passed to daughter cells through mitosis.
Important cell-type specific genes are marked in some way that prevents them from being compacted during mitosis and ensures their rapid transcription.
In histone acetylation and deacetylation, histone proteins are acetylated and deacetylated on lysine residues in the N-terminal tail as part of gene regulation.
The regulation of transcription factors, effector proteins, molecular chaperones, and cytoskeletal proteins by acetylation and deacetylation is a significant post-translational regulatory mechanism These regulatory mechanisms are analogous to phosphorylation and dephosphorylation by the action of kinases and phosphatases.
Not only can the acetylation state of a protein modify its activity, but this post-translational modification may also crosstalk with phosphorylation, methylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation, and others for dynamic control of cellular signaling.
The post-translational modification of histone tails by either histone modifying complexes or chromatin remodeling complexes are interpreted by the cell and lead to complex, combinatorial transcriptional output.
It is thought that a histone code dictates the expression of genes by a complex interaction between the histones in a particular region.

The Monastic Republic of Mount Athos () is a region of northern Greece around the Mount Athos peninsula, in Chalkidiki, enjoying a status of autonomy comparable to the peripheries (Greek administrative regions).
The twenty monasteries are stavropegic, that is to say exempt: they escape the authority of the local bishop and are placed directly under the sole episcopal responsibility of the Ecumenical Patriarch.
Since 1990, the Monastic Republic of Mount Athos has experienced a spiritual renewal thanks to a regular influx of young people, often graduates and from the former Soviet bloc, which dramatically increased the number of monks and novices.
Initially, eleven monasteries followed the same rule of Saint Sabbas, common to Eastern Orthodox monasticism (cenobitic monasteries); in nine others the monks each formulated and followed their own rules (idiorrythmic monasteries).
The territory of the Monastic Republic is contiguous to the Greek municipality of Stagira-Akanthos, from which it is separated by a fence of about nine kilometers long.
The small village of Karyes is the administrative center and the seat of the synod: there, there are lay people in the service of the Republic.
The monasteries of Mount Athos have a history of opposing ecumenism, or movements towards reconciliation between the Orthodox Church of Constantinople and the Roman Catholic Church.
The Esphigmenou monastery is particularly outspoken in this respect, having raised black flags to protest against the meeting of Patriarch Athenagoras I of Constantinople and Pope Paul VI in 1972.
The conflict escalated in 2002 with Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople declaring the monks of Esphigmenou an illegal brotherhood and ordering their eviction; the monks refused to be evicted, and the Patriarch ordered a new brotherhood to replace them.
After reaching a low point of just 1,145 mainly elderly monks in 1971, the monasteries have been undergoing a steady and sustained renewal.
By the year 2000, the monastic population had reached 1,610, with all 20 monasteries and their associated sketes receiving an infusion of mainly young well-educated monks.
Many younger monks possess university education and advanced skills that allow them to work on the cataloging and restoration of the Mountain's vast repository of manuscripts, vestments, icons, liturgical objects and other works of art, most of which remain unknown to the public because of their sheer volume.
Projected to take several decades to complete, this restorative and archival work is well under way, funded by UNESCO and the EU, and aided by many academic institutions.
The Greek government denied entry to Russian clerics headed for the monastery, and the media reported allegations that the Russian government used the mountain as a base for intelligence operations.
Relations were worsened in October after the Russian Orthodox Church banned its adherents from visiting sites controlled by Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople, which includes Mount Athos.
The status of the Holy Mountain and the jurisdiction of the Agiorite institutions were expressly described and ratified upon admission of Greece to the European Union (then the European Community).
Civil authorities are represented by the , appointed by the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whose main duty is to supervise the function of the institutions and the public order.
In each of the 20 monasteries – which today all follow again the coenobitic system – the administration is in the hands of the Abbot (Ηγούμενος – Hēgoumenos) who is elected by the brotherhood for life.
Visits to the peninsula are possible for laymen, but they need a special permit known as a (), similar to a visa.
The self-governed region of the Holy Mountain, according to the Decree passed by the Holy Community on 3 October 1913 and according to the international treaties of London (1913), Bucharest (1913), Neuilly (1919), Sèvres (1920) and Lausanne (1923), is considered part of the Greek state.
Political instability in Greece during the mid-20th century that affected Mount Athos included Nazi occupation from the Easter season of 1941 through late 1944, followed immediately by the Greek Civil War in a struggle where Communist efforts failed.
After the Nazi takeover of Greece, the Epistassia, Athos's four-member executive committee, formally asked Adolf Hitler to place the Autonomous Monastic State under his personal protection, and Hitler agreed.
Monks feel that the presence of women alters the social dynamics of the community and therefore slows their path towards spiritual enlightenment.
In the 14th century, Serbian Emperor Dušan the Mighty brought his wife, Helena of Bulgaria, to Mount Athos to protect her from the plague, but she did not touch the ground during her entire visit, as she was carried in a hand carriage all the time.
There was an incident in the 1930s regarding Aliki Diplarakou, the first Greek beauty pageant contestant to win the Miss Europe title, who made headlines when she dressed up as a man and snuck into Mount Athos.
In 1953, Cora Miller, an American Fulbright Program teacher from Athens, Ohio, landed briefly along with two other women, stirring up a controversy among the local monks.
On 26 May 2008, five Moldovans illegally entered Greece by way of Turkey, ending up on Athos; four of the migrants were women.
As part of an EU member state, Mount Athos is part of the European Union and, for the most part, subject to EU law.
The monks strongly objected to Greece joining the Schengen Area based on fears that the EU would be able to end the centuries-old prohibition on the admittance of women.
The monks were also concerned that the agreement could affect their traditional right to offer sanctuary to people from Orthodox countries such as Russia.
Such monks do nowadays need a Greek visa and permission to stay, even if that is given generously by the Greek ministry, based on requests from Athos.
Greek is commonly used in all the Greek monasteries, but in some monasteries there are other languages in use: in Agiou Panteleimonos, Russian (67 monks in 2011); in Helandariou Monastery, Serbian (58); in Zographou Monastery and Skiti Bogoroditsa, Bulgarian (32); and in the sketes of Timiou Prodromou and Lakkoskiti, Romanian (64).
Today the 20 monasteries of Mount Athos are the dominant holy institutions for both spiritual and administrative purposes, consolidated by the Constitutional Chart of the Holy Mountain.
A pilgrim/visitor to a monastery, who is accommodated in the guest-house (αρχονταρίκι) can have a taste of the monastic life in it by following its daily schedule: praying (services in church or in private), common dining, working (according to the duties of each monk) and rest.
A cell is a house with a small church, where 1–3 monks live under the spiritual and administrative supervision of a monastery.
Some of the cells resemble tidy farmhouses, others are poor huts, others have the gentility of Byzantine tradition or of Russian architecture of the past century.
For the pilgrim/visitor it is worth experiencing this side of monastic life as well, but most of the cells have very limited or no capacity for hospitality.
In some of them, there are many living together, in others a few and in some there are brothers who live alone.
Later on, some cells came to attract many monks, expanded their buildings and started functioning in the coenobitic way of the monasteries.
The first ones, both in architecture and lifestyle, follow the typical model of a monastery, that of a community living together, sharing and distributing work, and praying together daily.
In contrast, the idiorrhythmic community (intermediary between the coenobitic community and the seclusion of a hermit) resembles a hamlet, and the daily life there is much like that of a cell.
The Athonite monasteries possess huge deposits of invaluable medieval art treasures, including icons, liturgical vestments and objects (crosses, chalices), codices and other Christian texts, imperial chrysobulls, holy relics etc.
Until recently no organized study and archiving had been carried out, but an EU-funded effort to catalogue, protect and restore them is underway since the late 1980s.
The Julian calendar, which currently has a difference of 13 days from the Gregorian calendar, is still used on Mount Athos.
In 1923, as a means to eliminate the divergence existing between the religious and civil dates, after a synod in Constantinople, part of the Eastern Orthodox Churches dropped 13 days and adopted the Revised Julian calendar, which is synchronised with the Gregorian calendar, at least until 2800.
Although under the direct jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, the spiritual head of the monastic state, nearly all the monasteries of Athos refused to follow the revised calendar and finally, for the sake of uniformity, the patriarch asked the single monastery that used the revised calendar to revert to the Julian.
Also in use is Byzantine time, in which the day commences at sunset as does the liturgical day and not at midnight as in the reckoning of civil time, and the difference between the two varies according to the season of the year.
Because the time interval from sundown to sundown is not constant, clocks showing the Byzantine time require continual manual readjusting which in current practice is done weekly, on Saturday, if the sky is clear; where the summit of Athos is visible, 12:00 is set when the last rays of sunlight cease to shine on the tip.
Some monasteries also have a clock showing civil time since boat schedules run thereon (and on the civil calendar) as well as for pilgrims who may be disoriented by Byzantine time reckoning.
A skete is a community of Christian hermits following a monastic rule, allowing them to worship in comparative solitude, while also affording them a level of mutual practical support and security.
An idiorrhythmic skete follows the style of a small village: it has a common area of worship (a church), with individual hermitages or small houses around it, each one for a small number of occupants.
The Friends of Mount Athos (FoMA) is a society formed in 1990 by people who shared a common interest for the monasteries of Mount Athos, and a registered charity in the U.K. (Registered Charity No.
Among its members are Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and Charles, Prince of Wales, Heir Apparent to the British throne, who is the royal patron of the society.
To that end, the society works to advance education by studying and providing information on the history, culture, arts, architecture, natural history, and literature of Mount Athos.
The society also supports and promotes the religious and other charitable work of the monasteries and their dependencies as well as other religious communities with links to the Holy Mountain.
Appeals may be launched from time to time if funds are needed for specific purposes, but the assistance mainly takes the form of expertise, liaison, or equipment needed by the monks.
As a service to the monasteries and to pilgrims, the society clears and maintains the ancient footpaths of Mount Athos, many of the stone-paved (Kalderimi) paths dating back to the Byzantine era.
It also provides on its website detailed footpath descriptions with GPS tracks, and a regularly updated report on the condition of the paths.
FoMA member and cartographer, Peter Howorth of Christchurch, New Zealand, working with the society's footpath team, has recently published a new Pilgrim Map which incorporates modern mapping technology with study of early maps of Mount Athos.

Illaria Obidenna Ladré (November 26, 1906 – May 24, 1998) was a Russian ballet dancer in the Diaghilev Ballets Russes and later, between 1932 and 1946, for the troupe run by Colonel Wassily de Basil.
During her career, she was known as Lara Obidenna (occasionally spelled Obydennaya), though after ending her performance career, she began using her married name, Illaria Ladré.
After the revolution, she began her training in the Imperial Theatre School also known as the Maryinsky School, where she was part of Agrippina Vaganova’s first class.
She married Marian Ladré, a fellow ballet dancer in 1926, becoming Illaria Ladré, though she kept her stage name, Lara Obidenna, during her career.
Obidenna danced with the company until Diaghilev’s death in 1929, at which point, she, her husband, and a few others persuaded René Blum and Colonel Wassily de Basil to start the Ballet Russe.
When there became a rift between the two and they went their separate ways, Obidenna stayed with Colonel de Basil and his Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, which went through a few company name changes after they lost the rights to the name including Ballets Russes du Colonel W. de Basil (De Monte Carlo) and the Original Ballet Russe, among others.
She danced with them from the establishment of the company in 1932 until 1946, though she did continue performing through 1947.
As one of the more experienced dancers, she would teach the symphonic ballets to younger dancers and generally oversaw classes and rehearsals, especially when necessary during tours.
The company went to New York on tour in 1934 and was scheduled to return to the United States after the summer of 1936.
Obidenna and her husband were in the main company, which proceeded to have a London season in Covent Garden before finally joining the rest of the company in Australia for their second and third tours as the Covent Garden Russian Ballet and the Original Ballet Russe respectively.
On the whole, de Basil's company maintained a repertory of over 100 ballets, had 40 world premiers, and appeared in 26 operas.
Then, in 1948, she and her husband moved to Seattle, where they opened the Ballet Academy and taught for the rest of their lives.

The 1917 Macquarie state by-election was held for the New South Wales state electoral district of Macquarie on 28 July 1917.
The by-election was triggered by the death of Australian Labor Party MP Thomas Thrower, who had died only three months after being re-elected at the 1917 state election.
Labor preselected as their candidate Patrick McGirr, a member of the Parkes Land Board and the brother of Greg McGirr, the state member for Yass.
McGirr was selected overwhelmingly from a broad field that included Iron Trades Federation secretary E. M. Davies, Amalgamated Railway and Tramway Association assistant secretary R. Corish, radical Sydney Wharf Laborers' Union president William McCristal and unsuccessful federal or state election candidates T. Lavelle, I.
The preselection process for the new conservative Nationalist Party was somewhat chaotic, with different meetings of local interests and organisations that had come together to form the new party recommending different candidates to the state executive.
The eventual executive decision largely came down to two candidates: Wellington miller Murdoch McLeod and Dubbo businessman H. T. Blackett, but also saw some support for former federal MP Ernest Carr, who had lost his seat at that year's election, with McLeod ultimately endorsed as the candidate.
Foster had been a Labor MP until losing his seat in 1913 and had left the party in the 1916 Labor split, but had not joined the Nationalist Party and had instead sought to form his own party taking a middle position between the two parties.
McGirr won the by-election, finishing 239 votes ahead of McLeod with Foster a distant third, an increase on the Labor majority from the general election.

The console is one of the planned fourth-generation family of Xbox hardware, succeeding the current Xbox One line, and expected to have improved hardware for higher display resolutions and framerate and reduced loading times.
Microsoft plans to have this be a soft transition to its next generation of hardware; the Xbox Series X is expected to be is fully compatible with all games, controllers, and accessories that are currently supported by Xbox One, including selected Xbox 360 and original Xbox games already backwards compatible on the Xbox 360.
Further, Microsoft's internal Xbox Game Studios does not plan to immediately produce titles exclusive for the Xbox Series X, but instead will produce titles that are compatible on both the Xbox One and Xbox Series X, with certain titles having enhanced features on the new console.
Microsoft said they wanted a soft transition from Xbox One to Scarlett, with Scarlett supporting backwards compatibility with all games and most hardware supported on the Xbox One.
Microsoft formally unveiled the console as Xbox Series X during The Game Awards 2019, as well as its final design and a late-2020 release date.
Prior to the E3 reveal, it had been speculated that Microsoft was also developing a second, lower-end console to accompany what was unveiled as Scarlett.
It is approximately wide and deep, and tall; while configured in this vertical orientation, the unit can also be used on its side.
Xbox head Phil Spencer said that the Xbox Series X was as quiet as the Xbox One X. Microsoft stated that the console CPU will be four times as powerful as Xbox One X; it features AMD's Zen 2 CPU architecture and RDNA graphics architecture, a custom-designed solid state drive, GDDR6 SDRAM, and support for real-time ray-tracing, up to 120 frames per second rendering, and 8K resolution.
Spencer has said that with the fourth generation of Xbox, the company is putting smooth frame rates and faster loading as a priority over higher resolutions, which the Series X achieves by better-matched capabilities of the CPU and GPU hardware, whereas previous Xbox had had underpowered CPUs to be able to achieve this.
Microsoft has stated that the Xbox Series X will support all games playable on the Xbox One, including those Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles currently supported through backwards compatibility on the Xbox One, thus allowing the console to support four generations of games.
To achieve this, Microsoft announced they would no longer be bringing any additional Xbox 360 or original Xbox games into the Xbox One backwards compatibility program in June 2019.
The backwards compatibility is planned as a launch feature, and Spencer said in December 2019 that he himself had been helping to test such titles for this.
Developers may release games compatible exclusively with Xbox Series X; in January 2020, Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty stated that they had no immediate plans to make games exclusive to Series X, explaining that they planned to take an approach similar to PC gaming, scaling quality and fidelity based on the console's available capabilities.

Microman's debut on April 30, 2017 also marked the debut of the CMLL Micro-Estrellas division, with Microman being one for of the featured performers in the group of little people.
During his initial training CMLL wanted him to work as a mascota, but he insisted that he wanted to wrestle despite his diminutive stature ().
Growing up he was a big fan of Mascarita Dorada, who, unlike his father, was an active professional wrestler despite of his dwarfism.
When he was old enough to start training Microman asked his father for permission to train to be a wrestler, which in turn led KeMonito to ask his longtime friend Último Guerrero, head trainer at CMLL's wrestling school, to train his son.
While most matches in CMLL were best-two-out-of-three falls matches, the early Micro-Estrella matches were one fall, but later moved to the traditional two-out-of-three falls format.
Microman and the Micro-Estrellas would appear on various CMLL shows, as well as make special appearances on the Mexican independent circuit, such as The Crash Lucha Libre, Promociones El Cholo, or Desastre Total Ultraviolento.
In the months following the anniversary Microman and Chamuel began a long running storyline feud, which often saw Chamuel either tear Microman's mask open or steal it during a match.
The Microman/Chamuel feud led to the first one-on-one match in the Micro division on August 30, 2019 as part of CMLL's International Gran Prix.
The match ended in a disqualification as Chamuel was disqualified for throwing his mask to Microman in an attempt to fool the referee.

The Lanarkshire Junior Football League was a football league competition operated in Lanarkshire under the Scottish Junior Football Association which operated from 1891, being the oldest-running regional competition of its kind until a merger in 1968.
The league was formed in 1891, at which point six of the ten finalists in the 5-year history of the Scottish Junior Cup had been from Lanarkshire (not counting those in the city of Glasgow under its boundaries of the time) indicating a strong presence at Junior level, with teams forming in many towns and villages involved in the thriving coal mining and steelworking industries.
However, by 1895 a rival Glasgow Junior Football League was formed, and that quickly became a superior competition due to the abundance of players, higher attendances and lower costs associated with travelling.
The proximity of the big city also caused problems for the Lanarkshire league organisers, with the clubs based in their territory consistently seeking to join the GJL, while the short distances involved made it feasible to do so whenever they were considered a useful addition.
Some Lanarkshire clubs also switched between their local league and the Scottish Junior Football League, which had no specific territory but also existed in the shadow of the Glasgow-based league until it folded in the 1940s.
Unlike the GJL and the Western Junior Football League (the equivalent based in Ayrshire), the Lanarkshire league was not involved in the Intermediate dispute relating to compensation payments due to clubs joining Scottish Football League teams, although several of its members defected to the rebel group, some never returning; during those clubs' four-year absence from the Scottish Junior Cup, Lanarkshire's Burnbank Athletic reached the final twice.
Unlike most of Junior football, the Lanarkshire league went into abeyance for five years during World War II, with clubs playing in the 'Lanark & Lothians Junior League' during the conflict.
In 1968 the Junior football system across Scotland was reorganised, with Lanarkshire's league (which now only had ten member clubs due to defections, and several clubs folding as traditional industries declined and entire communities dispersed) merging into the Central setup.

Containing a slice of the Carboniferous-Permian transition, it is one of the key upper Paleozoic successions characterizing that era in westernmost Gondwana, which South America was a part of in the Paleozoic.
Based on the paleoflora found in the middle upper Pallero unit, it was suggested to be of earliest Cisuralian age of the early Permian, though there is still ambiguity as insects associated with that layer have been assigned to the late Pennsylvanian of the Carboniferous.
The Bajo de Véliz Formation was deﬁned by Flores in 1969, and then studied in greater detail by Hünicken and Pensa, in 1972.
Research carried out subsequently produced remarkable findings in successive strata, several of which present evidence of insect fossils, bryophytes and paleozoic flora.
The stratigraphic succession of Bajo de Véliz is exposed by rocky outcrops such as a rock wall revealing the Pallero unit, and there are escarpments because the formation is cut and carved out of older crust.
It is located in a graben, which means it is a depressed block of the crust bordered by higher parallel faults.
As a result, it is surrounded by much older rock which is raised above it on the sides, and forms a basement below.
This ancient, separate unit is called the San Luis Formation, which ranges from the Upper Precambrian to the early Carboniferous in age, and includes igneous and metamorphic rocks.
Geologists starting with Hünicken and Pensa have classified the Bajo de Véliz unit into three component members: from lowest to highest, the Cautana, Pallero, and Lomas members.
The Cautana member (102 meters thick) contains clastic rock which grades upward from a coarse bed of polymictic conglomerate at the base, to an intercalated layer of sandstone and greenish-grey siltstone.
The Pallero member (53 meters thick) contains clearly-banded and fine-grained material: sandstones, as well as green beds with numerous fossil remains, dropstones, disk-shaped concretions.
At the time, it probably saw climatic variation and faced alternating or overlapping lacustrine (lake) and fluviatile (riverine) conditions, based on sedimentological and paleobotanical evidence.
The Lomas member (13 meters thick) contains sandstone, which is medium to coarse-grained and ranges in color from yellowish to dark greenish, crowning the formation.
Insects fed on plants forming galls and oviposition traces, and to a lesser extent marginal damage from piercing and sucking mouthparts.

Oliver Joseph St John Gogarty (17 August 1878 – 22 September 1957) was an Irish poet, author, otolaryngologist, athlete, politician, and well-known conversationalist.
Gogarty was born 17 August 1878 in Rutland Square, Dublin, the eldest child of Henry Gogarty, a well-to-do Dublin physician, and Margaret Gogarty (née Oliver), the daughter of a Galway mill owner.
Gogarty's father, himself the son of a medical doctor, had been educated at Trinity College and owned two fashionable homes in Dublin, which set the Gogartys apart from other Irish Catholic families at that time and allowed them access to the same social circles as the Protestant Ascendancy.
In 1887 Gogarty's father died of a burst appendix, and Gogarty was sent to Mungret College, a boarding school near Limerick.
Gogarty returned to Ireland in 1896 and boarded at Clongowes Wood College while studying for examinations with the Royal University of Ireland.
He was a talented athlete; in England he had briefly played for the Preston North End FC Reserve, and while at Clongowes he played for the Bohemian FC.
His extracurricular interests, which also included cycling and drinking, prevented him from being an attentive student, and in 1898 he switched to the medical school at Trinity College, having failed eight of his ten examinations at the Royal.
He had a talent for humorous and bawdy verse, which quickly made the rounds through the city, and sometimes composed mnemonic lyrics to aid his medical studies.
He also enjoyed a highly successful cycling career before being banned from the tracks in 1901 for bad language, and between 1898 and 1901 he rescued at least four people from drowning.
His witty conversation made him a favourite with the dons, particularly John Pentland Mahaffy (formerly the tutor of Oscar Wilde) and Robert Yelverton Tyrrell, and between 1901 and 1903 he won three successive Vice-Chancellor's prizes for verse.
In 1900 he made the acquaintance of W. B. Yeats (of whom his mother highly approved) and of George Moore (of whom she did not) and began to frequent Dublin literary circles.
Forty years later in America, Gogarty would attribute Joyce's abrupt departure to his and S.C. Trench's midnight antics with a loaded revolver.
Joyce and Gogarty corresponded intermittently during the early years of Joyce's continental exile and occasionally planned meetings, but contemporaneous letters from Joyce to his brother reveal deep distrust of Gogarty's motives, and their friendship was never fully renewed.
Gogarty made use of the Martello Tower during the following year as a writing retreat and party venue, and officially held the lease until 1925.
In 1905 Gogarty became one of the founding members of Arthur Griffith's Sinn Féin, a non-violent political movement with a plan for Irish autonomy modelled after the Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy.
Eager to establish himself with a profession, he passed his final medical examinations in June 1907, several months after the death of his mother.
Owing in part to the influence of his mentor, Sir Robert Woods, Gogarty had decided to specialise in otolaryngology, and in Vienna he studied under Ottokar Chiari, Markus Hajek, and Robert Bárány.
Returning to Dublin in 1908, Gogarty secured a post at Richmond Hospital, and shortly afterwards purchased a house in Ely Place opposite George Moore.
Three years later, he joined the staff of the Meath Hospital and remained there for the remainder of his medical career.
He became known for flamboyant theatrics in the operating room, including off-the-cuff witticisms and the flinging of recently removed larynxes at the viewing gallery.
He also maintained ENT consulting rooms in Ely Place, attracting a number of wealthy clients and attending to less well-off patients for free.
Gogarty and his wife went on to have two more children, Dermot (born 1908) and Brenda (born 1911), and in 1917 Gogarty purchased Renyvle House, a large country house in Renvyle, Connemara.
During the following decade he was also interested in aviation, earning a pilot's licence and helping to found the Irish Aero Club.
As a Sinn Féiner during the Irish War of Independence, Gogarty participated in a variety of anti-Black and Tan schemes, allowing his home to be used as a safe house and transporting disguised IRA volunteers in his car.
Following the ratification of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, Gogarty sided with the pro-Treaty government (headed by his close friend Arthur Griffith) and was made a Free State Senator.
Gogarty carried out Griffith's official autopsy and embalmment, and went on to perform the same offices for Michael Collins, another close friend whom Gogarty had often sheltered in his Ely Place home prior to his assassination.
It was rumoured that Griffith had been planning to make Gogarty the new Governor-General of the Irish Free State, but in his absence the post went to Tim Healy.
Two months later, Gogarty was kidnapped by a group of anti-Treaty militants, who lured him out of his house and into a waiting car under the pretext of bringing him to visit a sick patient.
Aware that he might be in imminent danger of execution, Gogarty contrived to have himself led out into the garden (purportedly by claiming to be suffering from diarrhoea), where he broke free from his captors and flung himself into the Liffey; he then swam to shore and delivered himself to the protection of the police barracks in Phoenix Park.
Gogarty remained a senator until the abolition of the Seanad in 1936, during which time he identified with none of the existing political parties and voted according to his own whims.
He was most passionate on the subject of sanitation in schools and in urban and rural housing, about which he spoke frequently.
His speeches frequently contained puns, wordplays, and extended poetic quotations, and were sometimes given in favour of facetious schemes, such as his attempt to have the phoenix statue in Phoenix Park included in the 1929 Wild Birds Protection Bill.
Gogarty maintained close friendships with W. B. Yeats, AE, George Moore, Lord Dunsany, James Stephens, Seamus O'Sullivan, and other Dublin literati, and continued to write poetry in the midst of his political and professional duties.
Shortly after its publication, it became the subject of a lawsuit by a Jewish art dealer, Harry Sinclair, who claimed that he and his recently deceased twin brother, William Sinclair, had been libeled by the publication.
Gogarty responded to the charges by claiming that the unnamed Jews were parodies or composite characters rather than deliberate evocations of living persons.
This outcome deeply embittered Gogarty, who had already suffered financial setbacks after the stock market crash of 1929 and felt that the verdict had been politically motivated.
With the onset of World War II, Gogarty, who was an enthusiastic and talented amateur aviator, attempted to enlist in the RAF and the RAMC as a doctor.
He then departed in September 1939 for an extended lecture tour in the United States, leaving his wife to manage Renvyle House, which had since been rebuilt as a hotel.
When his return to Ireland was delayed by the war, Gogarty applied for American citizenship, and eventually decided to reside permanently in the United States.
Though he regularly sent letters, funds, and care-packages to his family and returned home for occasional holiday visits, he never again lived in Ireland for any extended length of time.
Feeling that he was too old to sit for the medical examinations that would have qualified him as a practitioner in the United States, Gogarty instead chose to support himself entirely by his writing.
Gogarty suffered from heart complaints during the last few years of his life, and in September 1957 he collapsed in the street on his way to dinner.
He died on 22 September 1957; his body was flown home to Ireland and buried in Cartron Church, Moyard, near Renvyle.
Other details, such as Mulligan's Hellenism, his status as a medical student, his history of saving men from drowning, his friendship with George Moore, and the metrical arrangement of his full name (Malachi Roland St. John Mulligan) parallel Gogarty's biography.
A pub in the Temple Bar district of Dublin is named after him, and an annual Oliver St. John Gogarty Literary Festival is held in the author's family home, now the Renvyle House Hotel in Connemara.
Western European Time (WET, ) is a time zone covering parts of western Europe and consists of countries using (also known as Greenwich Mean Time).
It is one of the three standard time zones in the European Union along with Central European Time and Eastern European Time.
All the above countries except Iceland implement daylight saving time in summer (from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October each year), switching to Western European Summer Time (WEST, ), which is one hour ahead of WET.
The nominal span of the UTC±00:00 time zone is 7.5°E to 7.5°W (0° ± 7.5°), but does not include the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Gibraltar or Spain which use Central European Time (CET) even though these are mostly or completely west of 7.5°E.
Two other occupied territories, Belgium and the Netherlands, did the same, and Spain also switched to CET in solidarity with Germany under the orders of General Franco.
In the United Kingdom, from 1940 to 1945 British Summer Time (BST=CET) was used in winters, and from 1941 to 1945 and again in 1947, British Double Summer Time (BDST=CEST) was used in summers.
In Ireland, from 1940 to 1946 Irish Summer Time (IST=CET) was used all year round, with no 'double' summer time akin to that in the United Kingdom.
Eamon was born Eamon Jonathan Doyle in Staten Island, New York City, the son of Diane (née Zizzo), an Italian American nurse, and Walter Doyle, a counselor with a private practice, of Irish descent.
of First Priority Music who in turn turned Eamon on to songwriter/producer Milk Dee, who had worked with musicians such as MC Lyte, Janet Jackson, and Mary J. Blige.
After Nat Robinson shopped Eamon to over 22 different record labels Nat Robinson finally secured a record deal with record executive Barry Weiss and Eamon was eventually signed to Jive Records.
The success of the song prompted Jive to release the song internationally where it reached number one in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden.
The song did not match the success of its predecessor, although it was a top 10 hit in Denmark, where it peaked at number seven on the Danish Singles Chart.
After Jive records failed to properly market Eamon's second album, they mutually parted ways in 2008 with the stipulation that Eamon not sign another deal during the 18 months after the contract ended.
In 2010, Eamon moved to Los Angeles, California to hone his craft as a songwriter and work with a fresh group of producers.
Eamon signed a two-album deal worth $1,000,000 and began recording with Grammy winning producer Mikal Blue (Colbie Caillat, Jason Mraz, One Republic).
The album was finished in September 2012, and Eamon was still under contract with SMC, but could not release any music or perform for money.
Most of the album he recorded with Mikal Blue could not be sold or even made public, but Eamon became a free agent.
In June 2019 Eamon announced via Instagram that he would be releasing as yet unnamed EP and will be releasing a song from the EP every week.

Stephnie de Ruyter is a former leader of the New Zealand Democratic Party, a small centre-left New Zealand political party based upon Social Credit economics.
In the 1999 election, she was the Alliance's candidate for the Invercargill electorate, and was ranked twenty-second on the party's list.
Later, when the Democrats joined Jim Anderton to establish the breakaway Progressive Coalition, de Ruyter took an active role in building the new party.
By the time of the 2002 election, de Ruyter was deputy leader of the Democrats and was ranked fifth on the Progressive list.
Not long after the 2002 election, the Democrats opted to leave the Progressive Coalition and reestablish themselves as an independent party.
The leader of the Democrats, Grant Gillon, along with the former leader John Wright, unsuccessfully urged the party to remain a member of the Progressive Coalition.
3,540 species in the Old World (most Cyrtandroideae) and New World (Gesnerioideae) tropics and subtropics, with a very small number extending to temperate areas.
As with other members of the Lamiales the flowers have a (usually) zygomorphic corolla whose petals are fused into a tube and there is no one character that separates a gesneriad from any other member of Lamiales.
Gesneriaceae have traditionally been separated from Scrophulariaceae by having a unilocular rather than bilocular ovary, with parietal rather than axile placentation.
On the basis of both morphological and biogeographical differences the family is divided into two major subfamilies: subfamily Cyrtandroideae in the Old World and subfamily Gesnerioideae in the New World.
Several molecular systematic studies have shown that Gesneriaceae are not closely related to any other family of the Lamiales, but more recently a sister-group relationship with Calceolariaceae has been suggested.

A perpetual calendar is a calendar valid for many years, usually designed to look up the day of the week for a given date in the future.
Such a perpetual calendar fails to indicate the dates of moveable feasts such as Easter, which are calculated based on a combination of events in the Tropical year and lunar cycles.
This is the first known instance of a tabular form of perpetual calendar allowing the calculation of the moveable feasts that became popular during the 15th century.
Even though the individual operations in the formulas can be very efficiently implemented in software, they are too complicated for most people to perform all of the arithmetic mentally.
A table for the Gregorian calendar expresses its 400-year grand cycle: 303 common years and 97 leap years total to 146,097 days, or exactly 20,871 weeks.
Within each 100-year block, the cyclic nature of the Gregorian calendar proceeds in exactly the same fashion as its Julian predecessor: A common year begins and ends on the same day of the week, so the following year will begin on the next successive day of the week.
Every four years, the starting weekday advances five days, so over a 28-year period it advances 35, returning to the same place in both the leap year progression and the starting weekday.
Instead, a table-based perpetual calendar provides a simple look-up mechanism to find offset for the day of week for the first day of each month.
Military contingents were formed in German East Africa, where they became famous as Askari, in the Kamerun colony of German West Africa, and in German South-West Africa.
Likewise, the police forces for South-West Africa under Curt von François and for German Cameroon were re-established as Schutztruppe units by the act of 9 June 1895.
Schutztruppe formations under the supreme command of the German Emperor were organizationally never a part of the Imperial German Army, though German military law and discipline applied to its units.
Initially supervised by the Imperial Navy Office, they were under the authority of the Colonial Department in the German Foreign Office by the act of 7 and 18 July 1896.
At the beginning of World War I in 1914, there were three Schutztruppe military commands, one in each of the German colonial regions in East Africa, South-West Africa, and in Kamerun, subordinate to each governor.
A pre-war company consisted of 160 (expandable to 200) men in three platoons [Züge] of 50 to 60 men each, including two machine gun teams.
Overall strength was 300 European recruits and 2,472 Africans, specifically 68 combatant officers, 60 warrant officers and NCOs, 132 non-combatant medical officers, civilian administrators, ammunition technicians, and 2 African officers and 184 African NCOs and 2,286 Askaris.
Relations between the German administration and the natives in this colony had deteriorated to the point that few local Africans were recruited; however, Boers and Afrikaners did join to renew their fight against Great Britain.
The colonial forces for German Southwest Africa consisted of volunteers from the imperial army and navy (including some Austrians), but essentially consisted of members of German regiments.
Because of the often humid conditions in the upper Rhine valley of the grand-duchy of Baden, the area provided some early acclimatization.
German Southwest Africa Command at Windhuk (modern Windhoek) consisted of headquarters, administration and legal (judge advocate), medical corps, surveying and mapping units.
At the outbreak of World War I the force had a total strength of 91 officers, 22 physicians, 9 veterinarians, 59 civilian administrators, ammunition technicians, 342 NCOs and 1,444 German other ranks for a total of 1,967 personnel.
The Kamerun force in 1914 consisted of 12 companies, totaling 1,600 men with headquarters at Soppo and established in 1894 from the existing police force (formed in 1891).
The companies were assigned to 49 garrisons in Kamerun and consisted of 61 officers, 23 physicians, 23 civilian administrators, ammunition technicians, 98 German NCOs and 1,650 African enlisted ranks for a total personnel count of 1,855.
With few arms, ammunition or provisions, by the end of August 1914, all were forced to surrender to invading French and British forces.
Legend has it that the monastery was erected on the burial spot of Adam's head—though two other locations in Jerusalem also claim this honor—from which grew the tree that gave its wood to the cross on which Christ was crucified.
It is believed that the site was originally consecrated in the fourth century under the instruction of the Roman emperor Constantine the Great, who later gave the site to king Mirian III of Kartli after the conversion of his kingdom to Christianity in 327 AD.
The monastery was built in the eleventh century, during the reign of King Bagrat IV by the Georgian Giorgi-Prokhore of Shavsheti.
In 1305, an ambassador of the King of Georgia, supported by Andronikos II, to Sultan An-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun achieved repossession of the monastery.
It is because here is the Earth, that nourished the Root, that bore the Tree, that yielded the Timber that made the Cross.

The remains of the crusader-period monastery forms a small part of the current complex, most of which has undergone restoration and rebuilding.
The crusader section houses a church, including a grotto where a window into the ground below allows viewing of the spot where the tree from which the cross was (reputedly) fashioned grew.
In June 2004, shortly before a visit by the Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili to Israel, a fresco of the legendary Georgian poet Shota Rustaveli on a column inside the church was defaced by unknown individuals.
In a 1901 photograph of the Council of Archangels fresco there are Georgian inscriptions, but 1960 photographs show the inscriptions had been changed to Greek; after cleaning the paintings the Georgian inscriptions emerged again.
near the figures of St. Luke and St. Prochore) the outline of Georgian letters are clearly visible under the recently added Greek inscriptions.
The GIAT group was founded in 1973 by combining the industrial assets of the technical direction of Army weapons of the French Ministry of Defense.
Not until April 2004 did the board of directors present the public with a financial statement showing a profit of several hundred million Euros.
This was mainly due to increased export sales, and the modernization of the Leclerc Main Battle Tank (MBT) and several other armored platforms.
In 2006, the THL-20 gun turret was selected by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited for use on the HAL Light Combat Helicopter, incorporating the 20 mm M621 cannon.
Nexter has a joint venture CTA International with BAE Systems to develop and manufacture case telescoped weapon systems and ammunition of 40 mm calibre.
The new KNDS – KMW+Nexter Defense Systems -- will be the European leader of terrestrial defense with more than 6,000 employees.
The supervisory board appointed the new CEO of Nexter Systems, Stéphane Mayer, and the chairman of the executive board of KMW, Frank Haun, as CEOs of the holding company.
The Royal Parks Constabulary (RPC) was the police force formerly responsible for the Royal Parks in London and a number of other locations in Greater London, England and Edinburgh, Scotland.
Unlike most other police forces operating in England and Wales, the Royal Parks Constabulary did not report to the Home Office, but instead to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, who provided funding for it through the Royal Parks Agency.
Before 1872, Hyde Park had its own constables who lived in some of the entrance lodges and worked out of the rooms inside Marble Arch.
One of the last Inspectors of those constables was Samuel Parkes, who won the Victoria Cross in the Charge of the Light Brigade in 1854.
The constabulary worked towards maintaining the standards of Home Office police forces and all constables were trained at regional training centres, alongside their Home Office colleagues.
Unlike council-run parks constabularies, constables of the RPC enjoyed full police powers in the parks under their control and had the power to instigate criminal proceedings for offences committed in the Royal Parks.
Instead, because of the potential for trouble at Speaker's Corner, Hyde Park was policed by The Metropolitan Police from 1867 until 1993.
On 1 April 2004, following a review of the Royal Parks Constabulary by Anthony Speed, the Royal Parks Operational Command Unit of the Metropolitan Police took on the responsibility of policing the Royal Parks in Greater London.
In Scotland, the powers were transferred to Historic Scotland (with security in Holyrood Park being provided by Historic Scotland's own Ranger Service and aided by Lothian and Borders Police).
In the summer of 1905, he sent a copy to James Joyce, then living in Trieste, via their mutual acquaintance Vincent Cosgrave.
The seeds of many Australian plants and plants from southern Africa and the American west require smoke or fire to germinate.
In certain cases, this is done to prevent the accidental spreading of these plants, for example by birds and other animal.
Plants are produced using material from a single parent and as such there is no exchange of genetic material, therefore vegetative propagation methods almost always produce plants that are identical to the parent.
In some plants seeds can be produced without fertilization and the seeds contain only the genetic material of the parent plant.
A heated propagator is a horticultural device to maintain a warm and damp environment for seeds and cuttings to grow in.
This can be in the form of a clear enclosed bin sitting over a hotpad, or even a portable heater pointed at the bin.
The mats are made so that planters containing seedlings can be placed on top of the metal cage without the risk of starting a fire.
The constant and predictable heat allows people to garden in the winter months when the weather is generally too cold for seedlings to survive naturally.
The Volkswagen Transporter (T4), marketed in North America as the Volkswagen EuroVan, is a van produced by the German manufacturer Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles between 1990 and 2003, succeeding the Volkswagen Type 2 (T3) and superseded by the Volkswagen Transporter (T5).
Prompted by the success of similar moves with their passenger cars, Volkswagen had toyed in the late 1970s with the idea of replacing their air-cooled, rear-engined T2 vans with a front-engined, water-cooled design.
After a run of nearly 14 years, T4 production ceased in 2003, making it second only to the T1 for length of production in its home market.
It was available in many forms and sizes as standard and formed the basis of many specialist vehicles, from buses to campervans to ambulances.
High-tops were only manufactured on the LWB chassis, although campervan conversions often have pop-top or (usually fibreglass) high-tops added to both SWB and LWB chassis.
Initially, only Caravelles and Multivans were available with the longer nose, since these were the only models available with the VR6 engine.
However, campers and other specialist vehicles produced between 1996 and 2003 may have either the short or the long nose, depending on which model was used as the base vehicle.
In keeping with the Type 2's naming convention, the short and long-nose versions are also informally known as T4a and T4b, respectively.
The T4 was also available with a permanent 4WD system that uses a Viscous coupling unit as a centre differential to regulate the distribution of torque to the rear axle.
Since the rear differential precludes the placement of the spare wheel in the usual place under the body, syncro vans either store it inside the body or on an external, hinged bracket.
The T4 is a very popular base for building a small to medium-sized camper and day-vans, both as self-build projects and for professional conversions.
Due largely to its versatility, as well as popularity as a campervan, the Volkswagen Transporter (including the T4) has an extensive following amongst enthusiasts.
Meetings are held regularly throughout the year in countries across Europe and there are several Internet forums dedicated to T4 owners and enthusiasts.
In May 2010, the German enthusiasts of the T4 held a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the production of the first T4.
Several hundred T4s took part with vans from as far afield as Russia, France, Spain, central Europe and the Nordic countries.
In the United States, the short wheelbase EuroVan 5-cylinder passenger models (CL, GL, GLS, and MV) were only sold for model year 1993.
Volkswagen only imported them to the U.S. market for one year because sales in the United States were disappointing, but sales continued in Canada and Mexico.
Volkswagen reintroduced the EuroVan passenger models in the United States for model year 1999 with a VR6 engine as standard, but discontinued the T4 worldwide after 2003.
Volkswagen imported the short wheelbase EuroVan 5-cylinder petrol engine passenger models (CL, GL, GLS, MV Weekender and Westfalia Camperised) to Canada from 1991 to 1996.
The EuroVan Camper by Winnebago was introduced to the United States and Canada in 1995 with the five-cylinder engine, and upgraded to the VR6 for the 1997-2003 models.
Winnebago also built three small Class C motorhomes with the forward cab of the T4/EuroVan called the Rialta, Vista, and Sunstar (Itasca branded).
The Rialta was available in 1995-1996 with the five-cylinder engine, in 1997-2001 with the AES version of the VR6, and in 2002-2005 with the AXK engine.
Provideniya (; Chukchi: ) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) and the administrative center of Providensky District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia, located on Komsomolskaya Bay (a part of Provideniya Bay) in the northeastern part of the autonomous okrug, across the Bering Strait from Alaska, and very close to the International Date Line.
The largest inhabited locality east of Anadyr, it was established as a port to serve the eastern end of the Northern Sea Route.
The port is found in Komsomolskaya Bay (named after the Soviet Komsomol youth organization), a part of the much larger Provideniya Bay, providing a suitable deep water harbor for Russian ships, close to the southern limits of the winter ice fields.
After discovery in 1660 of Providence Bay by the Russian expedition led by Kurbata Ivanov, the surrounding waters became a regular site for wintering fishing, whaling, and merchant ships.
On May 10, 1946, the settlement of Provideniya was officially established by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR.
However, social and economic upheavals in the post-Soviet period left these plans unfulfilled and in the period from 1994 to 2002 no construction was undertaken at all.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Provideniya serves as the administrative center of Providensky District, to which it is directly subordinated.
There is a technical school, one functioning movie theater, a post office, a museum of Chukotka history and culture, one of the only two ski slopes in Chukotka, a bakery complex, and port facilities.
A significant proportion of the settlement's current residents are Yupik, reflecting the high percentage of indigenous peoples in both Providensky and Chukotsky Districts.
The settlement and the surrounding area struggle from alcoholism (which is especially high in indigenous areas), causing a high death rate, a low birth rate, and the population decline since 1990.
Provideniya has a polar climate, although winters are not as severe due to the coastal location and colorful flowers help bring the tundra to life during the summer.
Winter temperatures are significantly higher than at other places within Chukotka such as Uelen and Ushakovskoye, because it is a more southerly settlement with greater maritime influence from the Bering Sea, as is the case with nearby Nome in the US, which has similar winter conditions.
Summers are generally cool and the settlement receives heavy rainfall, especially when low pressure systems move northwards from the Pacific Ocean.
The annual average temperature is higher than Mount Fuji, but Provideniya is much lower than Mount Fuji, albeit in a polar climate.
The term is often associated with skeptical investigation of controversial topics such as UFOs, claimed paranormal phenomena, cryptids, conspiracy theories, alternative medicine, religion, or exploratory or fringe areas of scientific or pseudoscientific research.
Backfire effects can occur if a message spends too much time on the negative case, if it is too complex, or if the message is threatening.
Backfire effects occur when science communicators accidentally reinforce false beliefs by trying to correct them, a phenomenon known as belief perseverance.
They recommend spending little or no time describing misconceptions because people cannot help but remember ideas that they have heard before.
They recommend providing fewer and clearer arguments, considering that more people recall a message when it is simpler and easier to read.
The authors write that debunkers should try to build up people's egos in some way before confronting false beliefs because it is difficult to consider ideas that threaten one's worldviews (i.e., threatening ideas cause cognitive dissonance).
I Don't Want You Back is the debut album by American R&B singer Eamon, released in the United States on February 17, 2004.
Al Yamamah () is the name of a series of record arms sales by the United Kingdom to Saudi Arabia, paid for by the delivery of up to of crude oil per day to the UK government.
The first sales occurred in September 1985 and the most recent contract for 72 Eurofighter Typhoon multirole fighters was signed in August 2006.
Mike Turner, then CEO of BAE Systems, said in August 2005 that BAE and its predecessor had earned £43 billion in twenty years from the contracts and that it could earn £40 billion more.
In 2010, BAE Systems pleaded guilty to a United States court, to charges of false accounting and making misleading statements in connection with the sales.
An investigation by the British Serious Fraud Office into the deal was discontinued after political pressure from the Saudi and British governments.
In 1964 The British Aircraft Corporation conducted demonstration flights of their Lightning in Riyadh and in 1965 Saudi Arabia signed a letter of intent for the supply of Lightning and Strikemaster aircraft as well as Thunderbird surface to air missiles.
In 1973 the Saudi government signed an agreement with the British government which specified BAC as the contractor for all parts of the defence system (AEI was previously contracted to supply the radar equipment and Airwork Services provided servicing and training).
In 1981 the RSAF ordered 46 F-15Cs and 16 F-15Ds, followed in 1982 by the purchase of 5 E-3A AWACS aircraft.
Following these deals and partly due to pro-Israeli sentiment in the US Congress, which would have either blocked a deal or insisted on usage restrictions for exported aircraft, Saudi Arabia turned to the UK for further arms purchases.
On 26 September 1985 the defence ministers of the UK and Saudi Arabia sign a Memorandum of Understanding in London for 48 Tornado IDSs, 24 Tornado ADVs, 30 Hawk training aircraft, 30 Pilatus PC-9 trainers, a range of weapons, radar, spares and a pilot-training programme.
The second stage (Al Yamamah II) was signed on 3 July 1988 in Bermuda by the defence ministers of the UK and Saudi Arabia.
At a minimum, it is believed to involve the supply and support of 96 Panavia Tornado ground attack aircraft, 24 Air Defence Variants (ADVs), 50 BAE Hawk and 50 Pilatus PC-9 aircraft, specialised naval vessels, and various infrastructure works.
The initial Memorandum of Understanding committed the UK to purchasing the obsolete Lightning and Strikemaster aircraft, along with associated equipment and spare parts.
The success of the initial contract has been attributed to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who lobbied hard on behalf of British industry.
When, in the Autumn of 1984, they seemed to be leaning towards French Mirage fighters, Mr Heseltine paid an urgent visit to Saudi Arabia, carrying a letter from the Prime Minister to King Fahd.
In December 1984 the Prime Minister started a series of important negotiations by meeting Prince Bandar, the son of Prince Sultan.
The Prime Minister met the King in Riyahd in April this year and in August the King wrote to her stating his decision to buy 48 Tornado IDS and 30 Hawk.
Contracts between BAE Systems and the Saudi government have been underwritten by the Export Credits Guarantee Department, a tax-payer funded insurance system.
In December 2004, the Commons Trade Committee chairman, Martin O'Neill, accused the Government of being foolish for concealing a £1billion guarantee they have given to BAE Systems.
In an editorial the magazine also raises the prospect of a requirement for a new lead-in fighter trainer to replace the earlier generation of Hawk 65/65As and to provide adequate training for transition of pilots to the advanced Typhoon.
Some allegations suggested that the former prime minister's son Mark Thatcher may have been involved, however he has strongly denied receiving payments or exploiting his mother's connections in his business dealings.
The SFO wrote a letter to Kevin Tebbit at the MoD who notified the Chairman of BAE Systems but not the Secretary of Defence.
In his book, David Wearing uses the example of F&C Asset Management, a major institutional investor, who (despite benefiting in the short term), warned the defence procurement minister that it would reduce the efficient functioning of financial markets as a whole.
The UK National Audit Office (NAO) investigated the contracts and has so far not released its conclusions – the only NAO report ever to be withheld.
In July 2006, Sir John Bourn, the head of the NAO, refused to release a copy to the investigators of an unpublished report into the contract that had been drawn up in 1992.
In late 2005, BAE refused to comply with compulsory production notices for details of its secret offshore payments to the Middle East.
At the end of November 2006, when the long-running investigation was threatening to go on for two more years, BAE Systems was negotiating a multibillion-pound sale of Eurofighter Typhoons to Saudi Arabia.
According to the BBC the contract was worth £6billion with 5,000 people directly employed in the manufacture of the Eurofighter, while other reports put the value at £10billion with 50,000 jobs at stake.
There were reports of a systematic PR campaign operated by Tim Bell through newspaper scare stories, letters from business owners and MPs in whose constituencies the factories were located to get the case closed.
Article 5 of the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery prohibits the decision to drop investigations into corruption from being influenced by considerations of the national economic interest or the potential effect upon relations with another state.
This prompted the investigation team to consider striking an early guilty plea deal with BAE that would minimise the intrusiveness to Saudi Arabia and mitigate damage.
The Attorney General agreed the strategy, but briefed Prime Minister Blair – who in a reply dated 5 December 2006 – urged that the case be dropped.
That same day, Prince Bandar met with Foreign Office officials, after spending a week with Jacques Chirac to negotiate a French alternative to the BAE deal.
On 14 December 2006, the Attorney General Lord Goldsmith announced that the investigation was being discontinued on grounds of the public interest.
The Director of the Serious Fraud Office has decided to discontinue the investigation into the affairs of BAE Systems plc as far as they relate to the Al Yamamah defence contract.
This decision has been taken following representations that have been made both to the Attorney General and the Director concerning the need to safeguard national and international security.
Jonathan Aitken, a former Conservative government minister and convicted perjurer, who was connected with the deals in the 1980s, said that even if the allegations against BAE were true, it was correct to end the investigation to maintain good relations with Saudi Arabia.
Mark Pieth, director of anti-fraud section at the OECD, on behalf of the United States, Japan, France, Sweden, Switzerland and Greece, addressed a formal complaint letter before Christmas 2006 to the Foreign Office, seeking explanation as to why the investigation had been discontinued.
Transparency International and Labour MP Roger Berry, chairman of the Commons Quadripartite Committee, urged the government to reopen the corruption investigation.
Delivery of the first two Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft (of 72 purchased by the Saudi Air Force) took place in June 2009.
On 30 July the House of Lords unanimously overturned the High Court ruling, stating that the decision to discontinue the investigation was lawful.
The OECD sent their inspectors to the UK to establish the reasons behind the dropping of the investigation in March 2007.
The OECD also wished to establish why the UK had yet to bring a prosecution since the incorporation of the OECD's anti-bribery treaty into UK law.
On 26 June 2007 BAE announced that the United States Department of Justice had launched its own investigation into Al Yamamah.
Under a plea bargain with the US Department of Justice BAE was sentenced in March 2010 by US District Court Judge John D. Bates to pay a $400 million fine, one of the largest fines in the history of the DOJ.
Its headquarters are in Glasgow, it employs approximately 1,250 staff as of 2017, to produce 15,000 hours of television and radio programming per year.
Some £320 million of licence fee revenue is raised in Scotland, with expenditure on purely local content set to stand at £86 million by 2016-17.
BBC Scotland operates the regional variant of BBC One, the BBC Scotland channel, BBC Radio Scotland, as well as radio and television outlets, Radio nan Gàidheal and BBC Alba, which broadcasts in the Scottish Gaelic language.
Named 5SC and located in Bath Street in Glasgow, the services gradually expanded to include the new stations 2BD, 2DE and 2EH, based at Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh respectively.
Around 1927, the new Corporation, as the BBC now was, decided to combine these local stations into regions under the generic banner of the BBC Regional Programme.
Regional programmes throughout the UK were merged to form the BBC Home Service in 1939, and, with a break for the Second World War, national opt outs remained on the station and its successor BBC Radio 4 until the establishment of a separate BBC Radio Scotland in November 1978.
When BBC Two arrived in Scotland in 1966 (having begun in London two years earlier and spread across the country), broadcasts began in black and white on 625-lines CCIR System I from the Black Hill transmitter.
For many years, BBC Scotland has tried to increase the number of programmes it makes to be shown on the networks.
This ambition was greatly aided by the move of BBC Scotland's headquarters in 2007 from Queen Margaret Drive to BBC Pacific Quay where state of the art digital studios were built and by the decision of the BBC centrally to move a number of programme departments, such as Children's, out of London.
BBC One Scotland is a separate channel able to opt out of the network feed of BBC One to broadcast its own schedule of regional programming in addition to networked productions.
The channel is a joint partnership between BBC Scotland and MG Alba and is available across the UK on satellite services.
On 22 February 2017, director general Tony Hall announced plans to launch a dedicated English-language BBC Scotland channel in 2018, which would replace the BBC Two Scotland opt-out.
It would broadcast from 7:00 p.m. to midnight nightly, and feature a lineup composed entirely of new and archived Scottish programming, including a new hour-long 9:00 p.m. weeknight newscast that will be produced from Scotland.
Hall also announced that the BBC would increase its overall spending on factual and drama productions in Scotland by £20 million annually.
The channel is allocated £32 million in annual funding, and its SD variant has displaced BBC Four on the Freeview EPG.
The station has specific programming opt outs for Orkney and Shetland in addition to regional news opt outs for four additional sub regions - North East, Highlands & Islands, South West and Borders.
BBC Radio nan Gàidheal in contrast is a Gaelic-language station broadcasting for the majority of the day on 103.5-105 FM and simulcasting Radio Scotland's MW service at other times.
BBC Scotland operates a mini site on BBC Online consisting of a portal to Scottish news, sport, programmes and items of cultural interest through BBC Online.
The department also provides content from Scotland on these subjects to the website and for the BBC Red Button interactive TV service.
BBC Scotland previously offered a podcast download of the top news items of the week and the online streaming of several key sections of output.
However following the widespread introduction of the BBC iPlayer service, which allowed the streaming and download of nearly all BBC programmes including news, these services were discontinued as defunct.
Working with new and emerging talent, The Social develops daily content on a range of subjects including issues, comedy, music, lifestyle and gaming.
Launched in December 2015, The Social won a Royal Television Scotland award for Best Digital Innovation in 2016 and another RTS Innovation Award in 2018 for the shortform drama Kidder.
When BBC Television first came to Scotland, there were no dedicated studios and Scotland shared an outside broadcast unit with BBC North in Manchester.
Apart from a limited news service, all programmes about Scotland had to be transmitted from London and had to have an appeal to a UK audience.
When the new commercial broadcaster, Scottish Television, was about to arrive in 1957, BBC Scotland managed to produce slightly improved news coverage by a complicated arrangement involving the newsroom in Queen Margaret Drive in the west of the city and the former Black Cat Cinema in Springfield Road in the east where the White Heather Club was made.
In the early 60s, the BBC acquired land adjacent to its Queen Margaret Drive base and eventually three colour studios were built together with significant radio facilities and a Film Unit with its own film processing.
The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Scottish Radio Orchestra had access to a large sound studio - Studio 1.
Designed by David Chipperfield and reportedly costing £188 million, the studio contains three television studios and five radio studios as well as the first HD newsroom used by the BBC.
Upon the launch of the BBC in Scotland in 1923, the service originally occupied Rex House at 202 Bath Street, Glasgow, before moving to properties in Blythswood Square and subsequently in West George Street.
In 1929, the decision was made to move the headquarters operation to Queen Street, Edinburgh, where the Edinburgh station had been based since 1924 following a move from the original 79 George Street premises.
However, in 1935 the headquarters operation moved back to Glasgow as it accompanied the Glasgow station at North Park House, Queen Margaret Drive, Glasgow, near to the Glasgow Botanic Gardens.
The Tun building is near to the Scottish Parliament building and contains television and radio studios in addition to a newsroom.
In addition to the Glasgow and Edinburgh bases of the broadcaster, BBC Scotland also has offices and studios located in Aberdeen, Dundee, Portree, Stornoway, Inverness, Selkirk, Dumfries, Kirkwall and Lerwick.
Of these, the latter two locations operate radio opt-outs from BBC Radio Scotland while the Aberdeen, Inverness, Selkirk and Dumfries newsrooms produce local radio bulletins for the North East, Highlands & Islands, Borders and South West respectively.
In addition to these premises, BBC Scotland operates a drama productions studio at Dumbarton on the site of a disused whisky distillery.
Also, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra is resident at Glasgow City Halls having been based at Queen Margaret Drive until 2006.
Until 2010, a high number of Gaelic programmes were broadcast on BBC One and Two Scotland before transferring over to BBC Alba.
'It was intriguing to note that without fail at every one of our public events, BBC2 Scotland's Eòrpa programme was raised, unsolicited, and by non-Gaelic speakers, as an example of a positive, well-respected programme' - Blair Jenkins, Chair - Scottish Broadcasting Commission.
and continued to be given a broadcast on BBC Two Scotland as the only Gaelic programme to do so until 2019.
Over the years, BBC Scotland made a number of well known and much loved radio and television programmes both for the BBC networks and for transmission in Scotland only.
BBC Scotland started using their own television continuity announcers voicing over specific BBC Scotland station idents for all evening and weekend afternoon junctions around 1977.
From 1985, the announcing team started doing a news summary just before children's programmes at around 15:53, and within a few weeks, additional news summaries at 21:25 were introduced.
She was the co-leader of the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand from 1995 to 2009, and was a Member of Parliament from 1996 to 2010.
She was also highly active in various environmental organizations such as the New Zealand Biological Producers' Council, the Campaign Climate for Change (which she founded), and the Environmental Council.
She was its energy spokesperson from 1977 to 1982, and stood as a candidate in the 1978 election and the 1981 election.
When the Values Party merged with a number of other groups to form the modern Green Party, Fitzsimons became an active member of the new organization.
When the Green Party joined with several other left-wing parties to form the Alliance, Fitzsimons became co-deputy leader (with Sandra Lee holding the other deputy leader position).
In the 1996 election, the first to be conducted under the new MMP electoral system, Fitzsimons was placed third on the Alliance party list.
To observers, it seemed that the Greens' chances of entering parliament were dependent on Fitzsimons' performance in Coromandel; in order to receive proportional representation, the party needed to either gain five percent of the national vote or win an electorate seat, and it appeared that the former option was unlikely.
Labour Leader (and Prime Minister after the election) Helen Clark openly encouraged Labour supporters to give their constituency vote to Fitzsimons and their party vote to Labour.
When normal votes had been counted, it appeared that Fitzsimons had been defeated in Coromandel by National's Murray McLean, but when special votes were tallied, Fitzsimons had a narrow lead.
This guaranteed the Green Party seats in parliament regardless of whether it crossed the five percent threshold (as it eventually did).
Fitzsimons remained in Parliament as the highest-ranked candidate on the Green Party's list, and remained co-leader of the party until 2009, with probably the highest public profile of any Green MP.
This was agreed to as part of a policy package negotiated by the Green Party in exchange for its undertaking not to oppose the Labour-led Government on matters of confidence and supply until the next parliamentary elections.
She was the Green Party spokesperson on Climate Change, Energy, Finance & Revenue, Genetic Engineering, Research, Science & Technology, Sustainable Economics, Transport, Treaty Issues (Associate).
In October 2008, respondents to a ONE News Colmar Brunton poll regarded Fitzsimons as the most trustworthy political party leader in New Zealand.
In February 2009, Fitzsimons announced that she would step down as party co-leader at the party's annual conference, and she was replaced by Metiria Turei on 30 May 2009.
The bill passed its first reading, but was subsequently defeated at its second reading on 4 April 2012 by a vote of 69–51, with National, New Zealand First, ACT and United Future opposing it.
Fitzsimons left Parliament on 11 February 2010, and was replaced by the next candidate on the Green Party list, Gareth Hughes.
In the 2010 Queen's Birthday Honours, Fitzsimons was appointed a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for public services.
She and her husband manage an organic farm in the Kauaeranga Valley east of Thames at the base of the Coromandel Peninsula.
This colorless liquid is an important polar aprotic solvent that dissolves both polar and nonpolar compounds and is miscible in a wide range of organic solvents as well as water.
It has a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry consistent with other three-coordinate S(IV) compounds, with a nonbonded electron pair on the approximately tetrahedral sulfur atom.
Dimethyl sulfoxide is produced industrially from dimethyl sulfide, a by-product of the Kraft process, by oxidation with oxygen or nitrogen dioxide.
It is a base, e.g., for the deprotonation of ketones to form sodium enolates, phosphonium salts to form Wittig reagents, and formamidinium salts to form diaminocarbenes.
Because DMSO is only weakly acidic, it tolerates relatively strong bases and as such has been extensively used in the study of carbanions.
A set of non-aqueous pKa values (C-H, O-H, S-H and N-H acidities) for thousands of organic compounds have been determined in DMSO solution.
Samples dissolved in DMSO cannot be as easily recovered compared to other solvents, as it is very difficult to remove all traces of DMSO by conventional rotary evaporation.
One technique to fully recover samples is removal of the organic solvent by evaporation followed by addition of water (to dissolve DMSO) and cryodesiccation to remove both DMSO and water.
The relatively high freezing point of DMSO, , means that at, or just below, room temperature it is a solid, which can limit its utility in some chemical processes (e.g.
It is widely used to strip photoresist in TFT-LCD 'flat panel' displays and advanced packaging applications (such as wafer-level packaging / solder bump patterning).
Because of its ability to dissolve many kinds of compounds, DMSO plays a role in sample management and high-throughput screening operations in drug design.
It is added to the PCR mix before reacting, where it interferes with the self-complementarity of the DNA, minimizing interfering reactions.
DMSO in a PCR reaction is applicable for supercoiled plasmids (to relax before amplification) or DNA templates with high GC-content (to decrease thermostability).
DMSO may also be used as a cryoprotectant, added to cell media to reduce ice formation and thereby prevent cell death during the freezing process.
Approximately 10% may be used with a slow-freeze method, and the cells may be frozen at or stored in liquid nitrogen safely.
Use of DMSO in medicine dates from around 1963, when an Oregon Health & Science University Medical School team, headed by Stanley Jacob, discovered it could penetrate the skin and other membranes without damaging them and could carry other compounds into a biological system.
In medicine, DMSO is predominantly used as a topical analgesic, a vehicle for topical application of pharmaceuticals, as an anti-inflammatory, and an antioxidant.
Because DMSO increases the rate of absorption of some compounds through biological tissues, including skin, it is used in some transdermal drug delivery systems.
DMSO has been examined for the treatment of numerous conditions and ailments, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its use only for the symptomatic relief of patients with interstitial cystitis.
A 1978 study concluded that DMSO brought significant relief to the majority of the 213 patients with inflammatory genitourinary disorders that were studied.
The authors recommended DMSO for genitourinary inflammatory conditions not caused by infection or tumor in which symptoms were severe or patients failed to respond to conventional therapy.
A gel containing DMSO, dexpanthenol, and heparin, is sold in Germany and eastern Europe (commercialized under the Dolobene brand) for topical use in sprains, tendinitis, and local inflammation.
In interventional radiology, DMSO is used as a solvent for ethylene vinyl alcohol in the Onyx liquid embolic agent, which is used in embolization, the therapeutic occlusion of blood vessels.
However, when a researcher is unaware of its pleiotropic effects, or when the control groups are not carefully planned, a bias can occur; an effect of DMSO can be falsely attributed to the drug.
For example, even a very low dose of DMSO has a powerful protective effect against paracetamol (acetaminophen)-induced liver injury in mice.
In cryobiology DMSO has been used as a cryoprotectant and is still an important constituent of cryoprotectant vitrification mixtures used to preserve organs, tissues, and cell suspensions.
It is particularly important in the freezing and long-term storage of embryonic stem cells and hematopoietic stem cells, which are often frozen in a mixture of 10% DMSO, a freezing medium, and 30% fetal bovine serum.
However, DMSO is an ingredient in some products listed by the U.S. FDA as fake cancer cures and the FDA has had a running battle with distributors.
One such distributor is Mildred Miller, who promoted DMSO for a variety of disorders and was consequently convicted of Medicare fraud.
The use of DMSO as an alternative treatment for cancer is of particular concern, as it has been shown to interfere with a variety of chemotherapy drugs, including cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin.
There is insufficient evidence to support the hypothesis that DMSO has any effect, and most sources agree that its history of side effects when tested warrants caution when using it as a dietary supplement, for which it is marketed heavily with the usual disclaimer.
In the latter case, often, the intended function of the DMSO is as a solvent, to carry the other ingredients across the skin.
The perceived garlic taste upon skin contact with DMSO may be due to nonolfactory activation of TRPA1 receptors in trigeminal ganglia.
Unlike dimethyl and diallyl disulfide (also with odors resembling garlic), the mono- and tri- sulfides (typically with foul odors), and other similar structures, the pure chemical DMSO is odorless.
DMSO is a non-toxic solvent with a median lethal dose higher than ethanol (DMSO: LD, oral, rat, 14,500 mg/kg; ethanol: LD, oral, rat, 7,060 mg/kg).
In Australia, it is listed as a Schedule 4 (S4) Drug, and a company has been prosecuted for adding it to products as a preservative.
Nitrile gloves, which are very commonly used in chemical laboratories, may protect from brief contact but have been found to degrade rapidly with exposure to DMSO.
Clinical research using DMSO was halted and did not begin again until the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) published findings in favor of DMSO in 1972.
In 1980, the US Congress held hearings on claims that the FDA was slow in approving DMSO for other medical uses.
This neurotoxicity could be detected at doses as low as 0.3mL/kg, a level exceeded in children exposed to DMSO during bone marrow transplant.
DMSO disposed into sewers can also cause odor problems in municipal effluents: waste water bacteria transform DMSO under hypoxic (anoxic) conditions into dimethyl sulfide (DMS) that has a strong disagreeable odor, similar to rotten cabbage.
Dimethyl sulfoxide can produce an explosive reaction when exposed to acyl chlorides; at a low temperature, this reaction produces the oxidant for Swern oxidation.
A strong to explosive reaction also takes place in combination with halogen compounds, metal nitrides, metal perchlorates, sodium hydride, periodic acid and fluorinating agents.
The main colonies are located on North East Island, other colonies are established on Broughton Island as well as the rocky Western Chain.
The species is currently rated as vulnerable by the IUCN as its breeding range is restricted to one small island group.
However, Hutton lost his sample at sea, whilst drawing the bird with the assistance of penguin enthusiast Emile Campbell-Browne (1830-1925), before a full speciation could be identified.
Hutton married Annie Gouger Montgomerie in 1863, and resigned his commission in 1866 to travel with his wife and two children to New Zealand, where four more children would follow.
They lived initially in Waikato, where Hutton tried his hand at flax milling, but he soon changed back to geology, joining the Geological Survey of New Zealand in 1866 and becoming Provincial Geologist of Otago in 1874.
At the same time, he was made lecturer in geology at the University of Otago and curator of the museum there along with Emile Campbell-Browne, the first to classify the species variant eudyptes Emilus Cambellium Brownicus 1875.
Hutton became professor of biology at Canterbury College in 1880, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1892.
Towards the end of his life, Hutton was made president of the Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union and the New Zealand Institute.
The Snares penguin is similarly coloured to other species of penguins, having a black head, back and flippers with a white belly.
A bright-yellow crest, beginning at the base of the bill, runs along the upper part of the head on both sides and ends at the back of the head.
The eyes are generally described as a bright red-brown colour, but this colouration can vary somewhat between individuals and in different lighting.
The colour patterns under the wings differ from individual to individual, so it is not a good characteristic for species identification.
It is difficult to verbally describe these noises, but they range from hisses and explosive cries when threatened to rhythmical braying and trumpeting sounds that can be heard from long distances at sea.
Although little is known of their range and migration outside of the breeding season, it is not thought that they migrate far in the winters.
Occasional sitings have occurred on the coasts of Tasmania, southern Australia, the Chatham Islands, Stewart Island, and the southern New Zealand mainland.
To build a nest, the penguins dig up shallow holes in the ground and layer the bottom with grass, leaves, twigs, peat, or pebbles.
If a threat arose, it could quickly wipe out their population because their breeding grounds are confined to a small island group.
Possible threats include the introduction of a new predator, overfishing around the islands that would deplete their food source, increasing water temperatures from global warming driving prey away, and pollution.
One study found that about 60 percent of the mass of stomach contents from Snares penguins consisted of krill, 30 percent was fish, and about 10 percent was cephalopods.
The researchers concluded that the number of fish otoliths and cephalopod beaks indicated the importance of these types of prey to adult penguins while at sea.
Another study reports the diet consisting of about 55 percent krill, 24 percent fish, and 21 percent cephalopods, also suggesting that fish and cephalopods are more important prey types than the percentages of stomach composition indicate.
After shared incubation of eggs, males leave on two-week-long foraging trips, which has been found to be synchronised with spring plankton blooms, as they are reliable predictors of food sources.
Upon the return of the males, the females go on somewhat shorter foraging trips (less than a week), returning in time for the chicks to hatch.
Throughout the chick guard stage, the female is the lone provider of food performing short foraging trips (one to three days).
While male penguins performing long foraging trips reach depths of up to 120 m, chick rearing birds usually exhibit shallow pursuit diving strategies (average dive depths 20–40 m) to catch prey.
The breeding season of Snares penguins occurs in the summer of New Zealand, beginning in early September and ending in late January.
Hatching pattern and size-dimorphic eggs are two of the mechanisms by which birds can change their breeding pattern in response to environmental and breeding conditions.
In altricial birds, such as Snares penguins, egg-size variation and asynchronous hatching are adaptive mechanisms that may lead to brood reduction.
Egg incubation does not occur until both eggs have been laid, and they are usually incubated one in front of the other.
The smaller, first-laid egg is often placed in the anterior position for incubation, which is thought to be the less favourable location since they have lower and more variable temperatures during incubation.
Although the smaller, first egg receives less favourable incubation, it was found that egg-size dimorphism affects the hatching pattern in Snares penguins instead of egg incubation position.
Then the male leaves for an extended period (about 12 days) to forage for food, while the mother stays with the eggs.
For the first three weeks after hatching, the male guards the chicks from predators while the female searches for food, returning each day to feed her offspring.
The London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Jubilee Class is a class of steam locomotive designed for main line passenger work.
The last five locomotives of Henry Fowler's Patriot class on order, 5552 to 5557, were built with William Stanier’s taper boiler and so became the first of the Jubilee class.
Until then, Jubilees were the largest express engine normally found on the lines running out of St Pancras or radiating from Derby.
In January 1951, the classification was revised to 6P; this was revised again to 6P5F in November 1955, but the latter change was not applied to the locomotives' cabsides, which continued to show 6P.
They were to have been a prototype for the rebuilding of the entire class but, in the end, the only Jubilees so to be treated.
Although built over only a three-year period the class had many variations due to improvements being made as they were built.
Four Jubilees have been preserved with two of them 45593 and 45596 being purchased directly from BR for preservation, the other two being rescued from Woodham Brothers.

He has worked as the executive director of the 9/11 Commission, director of the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia, and Counselor of the United States Department of State.
He is the White Burkett Miller Professor of History at the University of Virginia and was American Academy in Berlin Axel Springer Fellow, in the fall of 2009.
from the University of Houston Law Center (where he was an editor of the law review), and a MALD and Ph.D. in international relations from The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.
He joined the United States Department of State through the standard examination process for the foreign service as a career civil servant.
As a Foreign Service Officer, he served overseas at the U.S. Mission to the conventional arms control talks in Vienna, at the State Department's 24-hour crisis center, and on the secretariat staff for Secretary of State George P. Shultz, during the second Reagan administration (1985–1989).
In 1989, in the George H. W. Bush administration, Zelikow was detailed to join the National Security Council, where he was involved as a senior White House staffer in the diplomacy surrounding the German reunification and the diplomatic settlements accompanying the end of the Cold War in Europe.
During the first Gulf War, he aided President Bush, National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft, and Secretary of State James Baker in diplomatic affairs related to the coalition.
From 1991 to 1998, he was Associate Professor of Public Policy and co-director of Harvard's Intelligence and Policy Program, at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
In 1998, Zelikow moved to the University of Virginia, where until February 2005 he directed the nation's largest center on the American presidency.
He served as director of the Miller Center of Public Affairs and, as White Burkett Miller Professor of History, held an endowed chair.
The Center launched a project to transcribe and annotate the previously secret tapes made during the Kennedy, Nixon and Johnson presidencies.
In a presidential oral history project headed by James Sterling Young, it systematically gathers additional information on the presidencies of Reagan, George H.W.
Following an appointment at the Department of State from 2005 to 2007 during the Bush administration, Zelikow returned to academics at the University of Virginia.
After George W. Bush took office, Zelikow was named to a position on the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board [PFIAB], and worked on other task forces and commissions as well.
He directed the bipartisan National Commission on Federal Election Reform, created after the 2000 election and chaired by former presidents Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford, along with Lloyd Cutler and Bob Michel.
The Task Force comprises a diverse and bipartisan group of experienced policymakers, senior executives from the information technology industry, public interest advocates, and experts in privacy, intelligence, and national security.
The Markle Task Force seeks to inform the policy judgments and investments of the federal, state and local governments in the collection and use of information as it relates to national security.
The Task Force's reports and recommendations have been codified through two laws (IRPTA 2004 and the Implementing 9/11 Commission Report Act 2007) and several presidential directives.
Zelikow was appointed executive director of the 9/11 Commission (National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States), whose work included examination of the conduct of presidents Clinton and George W. Bush and their administrations prior to and on September 11, 2001.
Zelikow's prior involvement with the administration of George W. Bush led to opposition from the 9/11 Family Steering Committee, citing the obvious conflict of interest of having previously worked on the Bush transition team.
In response to the concerns, Zelikow had agreed to recuse himself from any investigation matters pertaining to the National Security Council's transition from the Clinton to Bush administrations, which Zelikow had helped manage.
After being informed of the Department of Defense's Able Danger project by U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Shaffer, he failed to have the 9/11 Commission investigate, despite the promise that the Commission would investigate all 9/11 related topics.
In 2005 and 2006 a member of the House Armed Services Committee, Rep. Curt Weldon, publicized Shaffer's allegations in public statements and hearings.
She thought the Bush administration needed something bolder, something that would represent a more dramatic break with the ideas of the past.
One criticism of this document, issued on September 17, 2002, is that it is supposed to have been a significant document in an alleged Bush administration doctrine of preemptive war.
However, in the drafting of this document Zelikow had opposed the proposed language using preemption in the context of how to deal with weapons of mass destruction.
Based on speeches and internal memos, some political analysts believe that Zelikow disagreed with aspects of the Bush administration's Middle Eastern policy.
In addition to the work on German unification, he has been significantly involved in contemporary scholarship on the Cuban Missile Crisis, including the relation between this crisis and the East-West confrontation over Berlin.
While at Harvard, he worked with Ernest R. May and Richard Neustadt on the use, and misuse, of history in policymaking.
Zelikow later helped found a research project to prepare and publish annotated transcripts of presidential recordings made secretly during the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations (see WhiteHouseTapes.org) and another project to strengthen oral history work on more recent administrations, with both these projects based at the University of Virginia's Miller Center of Public Affairs.
In the United States, beliefs about the formation of the nation and the Constitution remain powerful today, as do beliefs about slavery and the Civil War.
It could involve loss of life and property unprecedented in peacetime and undermine America’s fundamental sense of security, as did the Soviet atomic bomb test in 1949.
The United States might respond with draconian measures scaling back civil liberties, allowing wider surveillance of citizens, detention of suspects and use of deadly force.
It currently breeds along the south-western coasts of New Zealand's South Island as well as on Stewart Island/Rakiura and its outlying islands.
This species is a medium-sized, yellow-crested, black-and-white penguin, growing to approximately long and weighing on average , with a weight range of .
Female Fiordland penguins lay a clutch of two eggs where the first-laid egg is much smaller than the second egg, generally hatches later, and shows higher mortality, demonstrating a brood reduction system that is unique from other avian groups.
It breeds along the shores the West Coast of the South Island south of about Bruce Bay and the Open Bay Islands, around Fiordland and Foveaux Strait, and on Stewart Island/Rakiura and its outlying islands.
Fossils of this species have been found as far north as the northern end of the South Island, and they probably once nested in the North Island as well.
Their range has been drastically reduced by hunting in Polynesian times, and they are now only found in the least-populated part of New Zealand.
Fiordland crested penguins are classed as vulnerable to extinction by the IUCN, and their status was changed from vulnerable to endangered by the Department of Conservation in 2013.
Surveys in the 1990s counted 2,500 pairs, though this was likely an underestimate; based on historic trends, the population is probably continuing to decline.
Beowawe ( ) is a small town, misnomered on the internet as a ghost town, in Eureka County in northeastern Nevada in the western United States.
A tall cross in the Beowawe cemetery commemorates the burial of Lucinda Duncan, a grandmother who died on the trail in 1863.
Workers building the Central Pacific Railroad first noted the grave along the Humboldt River, and in 1906, it was moved to the hillside cemetery when the Union Pacific realigned its tracks.
In 1909, a power plant was built but, like many ghost towns, the boom had ended by 1916 and many of the residents had moved on.
Currently, Beowawe is once again tied to energy production, the home to both a geothermal power plant and a large propane tank farm near the railroad.
Photos of hot springs and fumaroles – photos '9-67' (1931) and '9-56' (date unknown) – show hydrothermal activity prior to power-generation.
It is unknown if those smaller hydrothermal surface features are still active as of 2015, post-power plant development; field reconnaissance would be required to assess the activity of the hydrothermal features.
Photos '9-69' (close-up, date unknown) and '9-108' (distant, 1971) show the uncapped well that is not a natural geyser, which was active prior to power-production.
The man-made geyser at Beowawe in central Nevada is similar to Fly Geyser in northwestern Nevada in that both were artificially produced by geothermal drilling, but the former area was developed for clean energy production and the latter area was not.
Another striking difference between the localities is an aesthetic one: more travertine has precipitated from the hydrothermal fluids at Fly Geyser than at Beowawe, generating spectacular mounds at Fly Geyser's uncapped wellhead, thus suggesting dissimilar water chemistry between the two geothermal systems.
The engine is not only able to power a jet aircraft forward, but also to direct thrust downwards via swivelling nozzles.
The Pegasus was also the planned engine for a number of aircraft projects, among which were the prototypes of the German Dornier Do 31 VSTOL military transport project.
This thrust would come from four centrifugal blowers shaft driven by a Bristol Orion turboprop, the exhaust from each blower being vectored by rotating the blower scrolls.
As a result, an engineer at Bristol Engine Company, Gordon Lewis, began in 1956 to study alternative engine concepts, where possible, existing engine components from the Orpheus and Olympus engine series.
One concept which looked promising was the BE52, which initially used the Orpheus 3 as the engine core and, on a separate coaxial shaft, the first two stages of an Olympus 21 LP compressor, which acted as a fan, delivering compressed air to two thrust vectoring nozzles at the front of engine.
The Olympus stages now supercharged the Orpheus core, improving the overall pressure ratio, creating what is now considered a conventional turbofan configuration.
However, in May 1957 the team received a supportive letter from Sydney Camm of Hawker Aviation They were looking for a Hawker Hunter replacement.
The aircraft designer, Ralph Hooper, suggested having the four thrust vectoring nozzles (originally suggested by Lewis), with hot gases from the rear two.
The 1957 Defence White Paper, which focused on missiles, and not manned aircraft – which were declared 'obsolete' - was not good news, because it precluded any future government financial support for development of not already extant manned combat aircraft.
Fortunately, engine development was financially supported to the tune of 75% from the Mutual Weapons Development Program, Verdon Smith of Bristol Siddeley Engines Limited (BSEL), which Bristol Engines had by then become on its merger with Armstrong Siddeley, quickly agreeing to pay the remainder.
The first prototype engine (one of two BE53/2s built), ran on 2 September 1959 and featured a 2-stage fan and used the Orpheus 6 core.
The Pegasus 5 was also used in the Kestrel, a refinement of the P.1127, of which nine were built for a Tripartite evaluation exercise.
By the time the Pegasus 5/2 was built, both the fan and HP compressor had been zero-staged and 2nd stage added to the HP turbine.
It was originally feared that the aircraft would have difficulty transitioning between level and vertical flight, but during testing it was found to be extremely simple.
Testing showed that because of the extreme power to weight ratio it only took a few degrees of nozzle movement to get the aircraft moving forward quickly enough to produce lift from the wing, and that even at a 15 degree angle the aircraft accelerated very well.
During transition from horizontal back to vertical the pilot would simply slow to roughly 200 knots and turn the nozzles downward, allowing the engine thrust to take over as the aircraft slowed and the wings stopped producing lift.
Series manufacture and design and development improvement to the Pegasus to produce ever higher thrusts were continued by Bristol engines beyond 1966, when Rolls-Royce Ltd bought the Company.
A related engine design, the 39,500 lbf (with reheat) Bristol Siddeley BS100 for a supersonic VTOL fighter (the Hawker Siddeley P.1154) was not developed to production as the aircraft project was cancelled in 1965.
To date, 1,347 engines have been produced and two million operating hours have been logged with the Harriers of the Royal Air Force (RAF), Royal Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and the navies of India, Italy, Spain and Thailand.
A non-vectored 26,000 lb thrust derivative of the Pegasus running on liquid hydrogen, the RB.420, was designed and offered in 1970 in response to a NASA requirement for an engine to power the projected Space Shuttle on its return flight through the atmosphere.
The Pegasus vectored-thrust turbofan is a two-shaft design featuring three low pressure (LP) and eight high pressure (HP) compressor stages driven by two LP and two HP turbine stages respectively.
Unusually the LP and HP spools rotate in opposite directions to greatly reduce the gyroscopic effects which would otherwise hamper low speed handling.
LP and HP fan blading is titanium, the LP fan blades operating in the partly supersonic region, and airflow is 432 lb/s.
The engine employs a simple thrust vectoring system that uses four swiveling nozzles, giving the Harrier thrust both for lift and forward propulsion, allowing for STOVL flight.
The front two nozzles, which are made of steel, are fed with air from the LP compressor, the rear nozzles, which are of Nimonic with hot (650 °C) jet exhaust.
This is achieved by using a pair of air motors fed from the HP (high pressure) compressor, in a fail over configuration, pairs of nozzles connected with, surprisingly, motor-cycle chains.
The Pegasus was also the first turbofan engine to have the initial compressor fan, the zero stage, ahead of the front bearing.
The engine is mounted in the centre of the Harrier and as a result it was necessary to remove the wing to change the powerplant after mounting the fuselage on trestles.
The change took a minimum of eight hours, although using the proper tools and lifting equipment this could be accomplished in less than four.
The maximum take-off thrust available from the Pegasus engine is limited, particularly at the higher ambient temperatures, by the turbine blade temperature.
To enable the engine speed and hence thrust to be increased for take-off, water is sprayed into the combustion chamber and turbine to keep the blade temperature down to an acceptable level.
Water for the injection system is contained in a tank located between the bifurcated section of the rear (hot) exhaust duct.
Water flow rate for the required turbine temperature reduction is approximately 35gpm (imperial gallons per minute) for a maximum duration of approximately 90 seconds.
Selection of water injection engine ratings (Lift Wet/Short Lift Wet) results in an increase in the engine speed and jet pipe temperature limits beyond the respective dry (non-injected) ratings (Lift Dry/Short Lift Dry).
(Mk.105 / Mk.106) The 11-21 was developed for the second generation Harriers, the USMC AV-8B Harrier II and the BAE Harrier IIs.
continuous at 91% RPM) and (15 s wet at 107% RPM) of lift is available at sea level (including splay loss at 90°).
Eismitte, in English also called Mid-Ice, was the site of an Arctic expedition in the interior of Greenland that took place from July 1930 through August 1931, and claimed the life of noted German scientist Alfred Wegener.
The coldest temperature recorded during the expedition was −64.8 °C (−84.6 °F) on March 20, 1931, while the warmest temperature noted was −1.8 °C (28.8 °F) on July 9, 1931.
For the 12-month period beginning August 1, 1930 and ending August 5, 1931, the warmest month, July, had a mean monthly temperature of −12.2 °C (10 °F), while the coldest month, February, averaged −47.2 °C (−53 °F).
Over the same period a total of 110 millimeters (4.33 inches) of water-equivalent precipitation was recorded, with most of it, rather surprisingly, being received in winter.
At the latitude of the camp, the sun does not set between May 13 and July 30 each year, and does not rise between November 23 and January 20.
Ernst Sorge was a member of the Alfred Wegener Expedition to Eismitte in central Greenland from July 1930 to August 1931.
He hand-dug a 15 m deep pit adjacent to his beneath-the-surface snow cave, which served as his living quarters during his seven-month-long wintering-over stint.
After meticulous examination of the structural features and careful measurement of continuous density and other physical properties within the pit profile, Sorge determined the characteristics of the individual limits of annual snow accumulation.
This research validated the feasibility of measuring the preserved annual snow accumulation cycles, like measuring frozen precipitation in a rain gauge.
Eismitte is one of the coldest locations in the Northern Hemisphere, with an annual mean temperature of having been recorded during the period of the expedition.
They capture the ship, but upon boarding it, they find it full, not of silver as they had expected, but of gold.
Believing the Duke plans to cheat the Cabal in the investment, they sail to Egypt and transport the gold over land to Cairo.
In Cairo the Cabal negotiates with d'Arcachon's men for a meeting with the duc himself; as an inducement for this meeting they offer to hand over Jack.
Realizing that they are no longer welcome in any European port, they carry the gold to India, where they are captured by a pirate queen who takes the gold.
A year later, Jack reunites with a few members of the Cabal and conceives a plan to carry goods through a route that no traders can use because it is controlled by armies of plunderers.
For this role in opening up the trade route, Jack is rewarded with a temporary, three-year kingship over an impoverished part of India.
During his reign, Jack directs the construction of a ship made of durable teak wood, using funds invested by the pirate queen who had seized the Cabal's gold, and Sophie, Electress of Hanover.
Jack, another member of the Cabal, and de Ath are imprisoned and tortured by the Spanish Inquisition but are able to buy their way out with silver that they got in trade for mercury.
The letter had been faked by Edmund de Ath, actually Édouard de Gex in disguise, who had been working with Vrej, one of the Cabal members, who believed his family had been wronged by Jack.
The duc had planned to imprison Jack for the rest of his life, but the King of France Louis XIV frees him in order to enlist his help in sacking the Tower of London (and thereby England's mint) in order to cripple the enemy country's economy.
Eliza has been captured by Jean Bart in an attempt to escape to England, and is confined to a house in Dunkerque.
Under blackmail by d'Avaux, Eliza concedes in indefinitely loaning the vast fortune she has earned through trade in Amsterdam to fund the King's war efforts.
Her loss of fortune forces Eliza to return to court life, where she learns that the duc d'Arcachon was the man who had enslaved her and her mother from the isle of Qwghlm.
After the marriage, however, Eliza's illegitimate child with Rossignol is kidnapped under the orders of Lothar von Hacklheber in order to maintain leverage over her.
The invasion is ultimately called off in the aftermath of the Battles of Barfleur and La Hogue, but Eliza's manipulations succeed at making her wealthier than ever, while bringing the house of Hacklheber to its knees.
The story refocuses on Bob Shaftoe, as he and the Black Torrent Guard participate in William III's campaign against James II in Ireland.
The second half of the book follows the lives of Eliza, Leibniz, Newton, Waterhouse, and Sophia Charlotte over the next 10 years.
She meets her old friend Princess Eleanor, who was exiled to a dower-house by her second husband, John George IV; she pays him back by infecting him with smallpox as well, and he turns out not to be as lucky.
Caroline turns out to be a bright girl with an interest in natural sciences and she soon forms a friendship with Leibniz.
The story ends in 1702 with Eliza a wealthy duchess of Arcachon and Qwghlm and a widow, Newton at the head of the London Mint, Waterhouse having made the decision to move to Massachusetts and to work on his Logic Mill away from European distractions, Sophia Charlotte the queen of the newly formed Kingdom of Prussia, and Leibniz the president of Prussian Academy of Sciences.
The book focuses a lot on bankers, the mining of gold and silver in the new world, and the idea of breaking free from precious metals into the use of Money.
He particularly explores the amount of excess involved in period governments and the financial system as well as the upper classes.
The GHF, along with the Ghanaian army (GA) and Ghanaian navy (GN), make up the Ghanaian Armed Forces (GAF) which are controlled by the Ghanaian Ministry of Defence (MoD).
Later that year a headquarters was established in Accra under the command of Indian Air commodore Jaswant Singh who was appointed as the first Chief of Air Staff (CAS).
In 1960 Royal Air Force personnel took up the task of training the newly established Ghana Air Force and in 1961 they were joined by a small group of Royal Canadian Air Force personnel.
In September 1961 as part of President Kwame Nkrumah's Africanization program, a Ghanaian CAS was appointed, with the first being J.E.S.
The Ghana Air Force was in the beginning equipped with a squadron of Chipmunk trainers, and squadrons of Beavers, Otters and Caribou transport aircraft.
In addition a DH125 jet was bought for Kwame Nkrumah, Hughes helicopters were bought for mosquito spraying plus DH Doves and Herons.
In 1962 the national School of Gliding was set up by Hanna Reitsch, who was once Adolf Hitler's top personal pilot.
GHF Air Force Station, Sekondi-Takoradi, started as RAF Station Takoradi, then it became Ghana Air Force Station, Sekondi-Takoradi, on 1 March 1961.
The GHF Air Force station, Accra, came into being soon after the Royal Air Force (RAF) had taken over the administration from the Indian and Israeli Air Force officers at the beginning of 1961.
The Ghana Air Force is also responsible for the co-ordination and direction of Search and Rescue (SAR) within the Accra Flight Information Region.
It saw widespread use for training British Commonwealth aircrews in navigation, radio-operating, bombing and gunnery roles throughout the Second World War.
The Oxford was developed by Airspeed during the 1930s in response to a requirement for a capable trainer aircraft that conformed with Specification T.23/36, which had been issued by the British Air Ministry.
Performing its maiden flight on 19 June 1937, it was quickly put into production as part of a rapid expansion of the Royal Air Force (RAF) in anticipation of a large-scale conflict.
As a consequence of the outbreak of war, many thousands of Oxfords would be ordered by Britain and its allies, including Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand, Poland, and the United States.
Following the end of the conflict, the Oxford continued to achieve export sales for some time, equipping the newly formed air forces of Egypt, India, Israel, and Yugoslavia.
During the 1930s, a major expansion of the Royal Air Force (RAF) had been directed by the British government, which led to the formulation and issuing of a number of operational requirements by the Air Ministry.
One of these was Operational Requirement 42 (OR.42), which sought an advanced training aircraft to be specifically used by aircrews destined to serve on bomber aircraft.
As the RAF was in the process of migrating from biplanes to monoplanes, which were capable of greater speeds and had more demanding flight characteristics, a suitable trainer was needed to match this step change.
At one point, the Avro Anson was considered for the role, however, it was thought that an aircraft more difficult to fly would be necessary.
Accordingly, on 10 July 1936, Specification T.23/36 was issued to Airspeed for the development of a twin-engined training aircraft to meet OR.42.
Developed to meet the requirements of Specification T.23/36 by Airspeed, the Oxford was based on the company's existing commercial 8-seater aircraft, the AS.6 Envoy, designed by Hessell Tiltman.
Airspeed gained substantial benefit from its prior work on the Envoy and the Convertible Envoy in its development of the Oxford.
It was decided to opt for a large first batch, totalling 136 aircraft, as this allowed for the implementation of more economical flow-line production at Airspeed's Portsmouth factory.
Initially, two variants were planned; the Mark I, which was viewed as a general-purpose training aircraft equipped with a dorsal gun turret, and the Mark II, which lacked any turret but was instead fitted with dual controls.
As further large contracts for the aircraft were placed with Airspeed, (100 Mk Is and 100 Mk IIs) it was arranged that de Havilland Aircraft would build them at Hatfield later, to meet the demands for Oxfords for training.
Of these, 4,411 had been produced by Airspeed at its Portsmouth factory, another 550 at the Airspeed-run shadow factory at Christchurch, Dorset, 1,515 by de Havilland at Hatfield, 1,360 by Percival Aircraft at Luton and 750 by Standard Motors at Coventry.
The Oxford was a low-wing twin-engine cantilever monoplane, featuring a semi-monocoque constructed fuselage, a conventional landing gear configuration and a wooden tail unit.
It was specifically developed to be suitable for a range of training missions, including navigation, flying instruction, night flying, instrument flying, wireless, direction-finding, gunnery, and vertical photography.
The Oxford was specifically planned and developed to incorporate various modern innovations and equipment fittings, including a full array of instruments and controls within the cockpit, which assisted in its principal trainer role.
In addition, the Oxford could also be used in various secondary roles, such as an air ambulance and maritime patrol aircraft.
In terms of flying experience, the Oxford was suitably representative as to enable pilots to migrate onto larger transport aircraft with ease while possessing smooth flight characteristics.
The controls were relatively straightforward, typically remaining consistent and easily adjustable; the second pilot's position is also provided with a fully furnished suite of key flight instrumentation.
Life support equipment includes three oxygen regulators, a flowmeter, three bayonet unions and three high-pressure oxygen cylinders of 750 litres capacity.
The external view of the cockpit was considered to be very high for the era, superior to the majority of its contemporaries, but is unavoidably interrupted by the engine cowlings acting as blind spots.
It was normally operated by a three-man crew; the seating arrangement could be altered in order to suit various purposes, such as to better enable a specific training role.
The cockpit was outfitted with dual flying controls and a pair of seats, intended to accommodate a pilot and either a navigator or second pilot alongside.
When used for bomb aimer training, the second set of controls would be removed and the freed-up space was instead used to accommodate a prone bomb-aimer.
When used as a navigation trainer, the second seat was pushed back so that it would line up with the chart table.
On the Oxford I, a dorsal turret was located amidships; it could be used for training navigators, bomb-aimers, wireless operators, air gunners and camera operators.
The Oxford was normally powered by a pair of Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah X air-cooled radial engines, capable of generating 340 hp.
These were initially outfitted with wooden fixed-position de Havilland-built propellers, but had been designed from the onset to accommodate variable-pitch propellers when these became available.
The starboard engine drives a hydraulic pump and air compressor, the former being used to actuate the undercarriage and flaps while the latter is used for the braking system; a vacuum pump is also present for the gyroscopic instrumentations.
The engine cowling features an inlet that draws cooling air into a tank; a pair of tinned steel oil tanks are also contained within the cowling.
Welded steel construction was used for the nacelles, which attach to the centre section of the wing at four separate rubber-insulated joints.
The retractable undercarriage of the Oxford was internally designed, featuring broken-braced twin oleo legs that retract rearward into each engine nacelle.
Although actuation of the retraction mechanism is normally achieved via an engine-driven pump, a manual fall-back mechanism is provided to force the wheels down in the event of an in-flight engine failure.
For inspection purposes, access panels are located beneath the pilot's cockpit for internal access to the flight controls, hydraulics and electrical components; inspection panels are also present in the outer wing sections.
It is constructed in two sections on separate jigs, divided between the front and rear, these are joined together at the rear bulkhead.
The forward bulkhead is deliberately reinforced so that the structure is capable of withstanding the impact of the aircraft turning over during landing in the hands of an unfortunate trainee pilot.
The spars are assembled upon a single jig, while others are used for the elements of the leading edge and trailing edge.
The Oxford (nicknamed the 'Ox-box') was used to prepare complete aircrews for RAF Bomber Command and could simultaneously train pilots, navigators, bomb aimers, gunners and radio operators on the same flight.
In addition to training duties, Oxfords were used in communications and anti-submarine roles and as air ambulances in the Middle East.
The Oxford was the preferred trainer for the Empire Air Training Scheme (EATS) and British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP), which sent thousands of potential aircrew to Canada for training.
27 Oxfords were on the strength of No 4 Flying Training School RAF Habbaniya, Iraq in early 1941 and some were converted locally, for use as light bombers to help in the defence of the School against Iraqi forces.
A few Oxfords were acquired by the Hellenic Air Force and used by the 335th Squadron during the Greek Civil War.
Oxfords continued to serve the Royal Air Force as trainers and light transports until the last was withdrawn from service in 1956.
Most Oxfords in the UK were equipped with a knotted rope from the pilot's seat to the rear door to assist evacuation should the plane inadvertently be put into a spin, which it was almost impossible to recover from.
When the pilot(s) released their seat belts centripetal force would hurl them to the rear of the plane, beyond the exit door, from which it was impossible to crawl forward to the door.
When no recovery happened no matter what was tried the four released their harness and were hurled to the rear of their plane and there remained helpless as the spiral descent continued.
The plane was in such a flat spin when it reached the ground that it skidded sideways over the surface of a field until the tail section hit a haystack and broke off.
From November 1940, the Royal Australian Air Force received 391 Oxford I and IIs from RAF contracts for use in Australia.
Issued to the Central Flying School, they were later joined by large numbers of RAF aircraft to equip the Service Flying Training Schools.
New Zealand was one of the first nations to order the Oxford in 1937 with a contract for five Oxford Is; the fifth aircraft was modified as a survey aircraft.
With the start of the Commonwealth Air Training Plan a further 140 aircraft were allocated, which included the last batch of 30 ordered.
As part of the Commonwealth Air Training Plan, the South African Air Force was allocated nearly 700 Oxfords which started to arrive in South Africa from November 1940.
Most were used as general-purpose communications aircraft in the United Kingdom; from June 1942 they were also used for Beam Approach training.
The Douglas X-3 Stiletto was a 1950s United States experimental jet aircraft with a slender fuselage and a long tapered nose, manufactured by the Douglas Aircraft Company.
Its primary mission was to investigate the design features of an aircraft suitable for sustained supersonic speeds, which included the first use of titanium in major airframe components.
Douglas designed the X-3 with the goal of a maximum speed of approximately 2,000 m.p.h, but it was, however, seriously underpowered for this purpose and could not even exceed Mach 1 in level flight.
Although the research aircraft was a disappointment, Lockheed designers used data from the X-3 tests for the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter which used a similar trapezoidal wing design in a successful Mach 2 fighter.
The Douglas X-3 Stiletto was the sleekest of the early experimental aircraft, but its research accomplishments were not those originally planned.
It was originally intended for advanced Mach 2 turbojet propulsion testing, but it fell largely into the category of configuration explorers, as its performance (due to inadequate engines) never met its original performance goals.
The goal of the aircraft was ambitious—it was to take off from the ground under its own power, climb to high altitude, maintain a sustained cruise speed of Mach 2, then land under its own power.
The design of the Douglas X-3 Stiletto is the subject of U.S. Design Patent #172,588 granted on July 13, 1954 to Frank N. Fleming and Harold T. Luskin and assigned to the Douglas Aircraft Company, Inc.
During development, the X-3's planned Westinghouse J46 engines were unable to meet the thrust, size and weight requirements, so lower-thrust Westinghouse J34 turbojets were substituted, producing only of thrust with afterburner rather than the planned .
The aim was to create the thinnest and most slender shape possible in order to achieve low drag at supersonic speeds.
The low aspect ratio, unswept wings were designed for high speed and later the Lockheed design team used data from the X-3 tests for the similar F-104 Starfighter wing design.
Due to both engine and airframe problems, the partially completed second aircraft was cancelled, and its components were used for spare parts.
During a high-speed taxi test, Bridgeman lifted the X-3 off the ground and flew it about one mile (1.6 km) before settling back onto the lakebed.
With the completion of the contractor test program in December 1953, the X-3 was delivered to the United States Air Force.
The poor performance of the X-3 meant only an abbreviated program would be made, to gain experience with low aspect ratio wings.
With the last flight by Yeager in July 1954, NACA made plans for a limited series of research flights with the X-3.
NACA pilot Joseph A. Walker made his pilot checkout flight in the X-3 on 23 August 1954, then conducted eight research flights in September and October.
The mass of its engines, fuel and structure was concentrated in its long, narrow fuselage, while its wings were short and stubby.
The aircraft was grounded for nearly a year after the flight, and never again explored its roll stability and control boundaries.
Although the X-3 never met its intention of providing aerodynamic data in Mach 2 cruise, its short service was of value.
Its small, highly loaded unswept wing was used in the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, and it was one of the first aircraft to use titanium.
Acute-phase proteins (APPs) are a class of proteins whose plasma concentrations increase (positive acute-phase proteins) or decrease (negative acute-phase proteins) in response to inflammation.
In response to injury, local inflammatory cells (neutrophil granulocytes and macrophages) secrete a number of cytokines into the bloodstream, most notable of which are the interleukins IL1, and IL6, and TNFα.
TNF-α, IL-1β and INF-γ are important for the expression of inflammatory mediators such as prostagladins and leukotrienes and they also cause the production of platelet-activating factor and IL-6.
Some act to destroy or inhibit growth of microbes, e.g., C-reactive protein, mannose-binding protein, complement factors, ferritin, ceruloplasmin, serum amyloid A and haptoglobin.
Also, some products of the coagulation system can contribute to the innate immune system by their ability to increase vascular permeability and act as chemotactic agents for phagocytic cells.
Theoretically, a decrease in transferrin could additionally be decreased by an upregulation of transferrin receptors, but the latter does not appear to change with inflammation.
While the production of C3 (a complement factor) increases in the liver, the plasma concentration often lowers because of an increased turn-over, therefore it is often seen as a negative acute-phase protein.
This is due to the ESR being largely dependent on elevation of fibrinogen, an acute phase reactant with a half-life of approximately one week.
In contrast, C-reactive protein (with a half-life of 6–8 hours) rises rapidly and can quickly return to within the normal range if treatment is employed.
For example, in active systemic lupus erythematosus, one may find a raised ESR but normal C-reactive protein.They may also indicate liver failure.
The Guardian Children's Fiction Prize or Guardian Award is a literary award that annually recognises one fiction book written for children or young adults (at least age eight) and published in the United Kingdom.
The shortlist of no more than four books and the winner are selected by three children's fiction writers, almost always including the latest winner.
The newspaper's children's book editor Julia Eccleshare (at least since 2000) participates in selection of the longlist and thereafter chairs the panel of final judges.
In recent years there is a longlist of eight books announced May or June, a shortlist of no more than four announced in September, and a single winner.
The U.K. publishers of eligible books must enter them for the prize with a fee, although the chair may call for submission.
The publication year is August to July of the current year, but May, June, and July books must be submitted in advance.
Torday was inspired to write books by the success of his father, Paul Torday (1946–2013), whose first book was published in 2006 when he was 59 years old.
Stead became the first winning writer from outside the British Commonwealth in the second year that all new children's books published in Britain were eligible.
At the same time, a summer program was inaugurated, using the newspaper's educational website and featuring a longlist announced in July.
(2001 longlist) A version of the ongoing Young Critics contest was inaugurated in 2002 and the program has expanded since then to include online discussion and author interviews and appearances.
Meanwhile, announcement of the longlist has advanced to late May or early June and announcement of the winner has retreated to November.
Routinely, eligible books are entered for the prize by their UK publishers, as many as ten books each (2000) although chair Eccleshare may call for particular submissions.
As of 2012, the fee is 25 pounds and one copy of the book; at an intermediate stage, 24 copies of any book under consideration.
Six books have won both the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize and the Carnegie Medal (inaugurated 1936), which annually recognizes an outstanding book for children or young adults.
It genuinely has equal, though different, appeal to all readers – 15-year-old Christopher Boone's narrative voice is at once childlike in its observations, and adult in its profundity.
Ten years later there are dual competitions for children 17 and younger, one for individuals and one for teams of at least four schoolmates.
Beside the competition there is a summer book club that features one longlist book each week, with author interviews and discussion.
Bold and hash (#) mark the winner, plus (+) marks the rest of the shortlist, and dash (–) marks the rest of the longlist.
Stead was the first American winner of the Prize, which was opened to writers from outside the British Commonwealth in 2012.
The longlist was inaugurated July 2001 as the program was rescheduled to conclude in the fall (October) rather than the spring (March).
Through year 2000 the award covered books published during the preceding calendar year and the shortlist was the only official distinction other than the Prize itself.
APT continues to distribute a wide variety of public television programs nationally, as well as the Create and World public TV multicast channels.
APT distributes more than 300 new program titles per year, including documentaries, talk shows, music performance content, dramatic and comedic series, how-to programs, children's series and classic movies.
First introduced in late 1999, Fastpass, FastPass+, and MaxPass allow guests to avoid long lines at the attractions on which the system is installed, freeing them to partake of other attractions during their wait.
On August 30, 2007, the Walt Disney Company filed a patent for using SMS as a way to get and use Fastpasses in the park.
The patent indicated that guests staying at Disney hotels would be allowed to make early reservations for attractions using their in-room television.
FastPass+ allows guests to reserve and plan a visit to a Disney Park in advance for select FastPass+ attractions, Character Greetings, entertainment, and viewing areas for parades and fireworks.
Currently guests staying at an onsite Disney resort can make reservations up to 60 days in advance while all other guests can schedule reservations up to 30 days in advance, assuming tickets are linked to their account.
If a Passholder is staying at a Disney resort onsite, they have 60 days to make reservations for the entire length of the stay.
Guests are restricted in the combination of attractions they are able to reserve in these parks to ensure better reservation availability for others at the parks' most popular attractions.
Guests may make a further reservation via an in-park kiosk or the My Disney Experience app after they have used their initial three selections subject to availability.
They may continue to make further reservations after using each reservation, until all reservation slots have been allocated for the day.
It is the first virtual queue system from Disney that is not free, costing /day or $75/year upon launch in 2017.
The system allows users to receive a Fastpass return time on their smartphone through the Disneyland mobile app when they are inside the parks.
Throughout the summer of 2011–2012, dubbed Disney Soundsational Summer, guests staying at any of the three hotels of the Disneyland Resort received two complimentary Fastpasses per person.
These passes allowed guests to enter the Fastpass line of any Fastpass attraction (plus , which does not otherwise offer Fastpass) at any time they chose, similar to the Dream Fastpass.
Guests who stay in the Disneyland Hotel or in club-level accommodations at Disneyland Resort Paris hotels receive an untimed single-use Fastpass voucher for each day of their stays, usable any time except between 13:00 and 16:00.
Guests in Castle Club accommodations at the Disneyland Hotel or suites in any hotel instead receive a VIP Fastpass, which can be used repeatedly for the full length of stay with no time restrictions.
Sir Henry Fowler, (29 July 1870 – 16 October 1938) was an English railway engineer, and was chief mechanical engineer of the Midland Railway and subsequently the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.
He was educated at Prince Henry's Grammar School, Evesham (now Prince Henry's High School, Evesham), and at Mason Science College (which became the University of Birmingham) between 1885 and 1887 where he studied metallurgy.
Between 1895 and 1900 he was gas engineer of the L&YR, moving on 18 June 1900 to the Midland Railway (MR).
In 1908, following a visit to Sheffield, he is accredited with the formation of the Midland Railway Engineering Club which is now called the Derby Railway Engineering Society.
During the First World War he was seconded to the Ministry of Munitions, being director of production from 1915 to 1917 and then assistant director general of aircraft production.
In 1919, Fowler was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) for his contributions to the war effort.
In 1923 on the Grouping, he was appointed deputy CME of the newly formed London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), under George Hughes and became CME in October 1925.
Various Midland standard types were built by the LMS, including the 4P Midland Compound 4-4-0, the 2P 4-4-0, the 4F 0-6-0, and the 3F 0-6-0T.
The small engine policy resulted in frequent double-heading, as the locomotives were not powerful enough to cope with loads, and thus increased expense.
Standardisation also left these standard locomotives with short-travel valves and small axle boxes, the former leading to inefficiency and the latter to frequent hot axle boxes.
In another departure from the small engine policy, several 2-6-0+0-6-2 Beyer-Garratts were acquired for the Toton-Brent coal trains but interference from Derby saw these receive standard small axle-boxes and short-travel valves with the result that they were poor performers.
An analogy may be made with his successor Sir William Stanier's Princess Coronation (Duchess) class, which was largely designed by LMS draughtsmen while Stanier was out of the country, although Stanier was more deeply involved in other designs during his tenure.
Fowler retired in 1933, Ernest Lemon initially taking over as CME for a short period before William Stanier was head-hunted into the job from the Great Western Railway.
3AK is the call sign of SEN 1116, and earlier the on-air name of a former Melbourne talk-back radio and music station, which, in 2003, leased its licence to sports network SEN 1116.
The station's call-sign came from the name of its operating company, the Akron Broadcasting Co. Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of the Akron Tyre Co, a company that was wound up in 2016).
At the time of its formation there were three types of broadcasters in Australia, A Class stations (most of which later evolved into the Australian Broadcasting Corporation); B Class stations, which are now known as commercial stations; amateurs.
There were also government plans for a set of C class stations which were intended to be used by businesses to exclusively advertise their products.
Akron and the Postmaster-General's Department had originally discussed the issuance of such a license, but in lieu, a B Class licence with a number of restrictions, was issued to Akron.
3AK originally broadcast from 11.30 pm to 2.00 am daily; 5.00 to 7.00 am Monday-Saturday; 1.00 to 2.00 pm Saturday; 12.30 to 2.30 pm Sunday.
3AK also had limited power, which although frequently altered was usually about 20% of that given to other B Class stations in Melbourne.
3AK's wavelength of 1500 KC could also be seen as a third limiting factor - it was at the very end of most contemporary radio dials; there were still some radio sets that were unable to receive it.
These were provided free of charge by a number of progressive Melbourne music teachers who believed that radio would help promote both them and their students.
Ltd., a name that persisted throughout many major changes of management and was still being used as late as the 1980s.
A listing of all Melbourne radio announcers published in February 1936 shows that George Palmer gave himself announcing duties, as well as managing the station.
In 1937 3AK was allowed to extend its hours of broadcast to 11.30 pm-7.00 am, however the station still closed at 3.00 am on Sundays.
It still broadcast for three hours on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, even though amateurs were no longer permitted to do so after 1939.
Because of 3AK's low power, 2BS was given the same wavelength (1500 kHz) and, within a few years, both stations suffered from interference during the few hours when they were simultaneously on the air.
Although a controversial character, Andrew had been a pioneer broadcaster at 3LO, commencing there in 1925 before going to 3UZ and then 2UW and a few other stations.
In the 1930s, the Postmaster General gave one station in the Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide markets a licence to broadcast 24 hours a day.
Because 3AK broadcast at night, Melbourne did not get any such 24-hour licences until as late as 1 February 1954 when 3UZ, 3DB and 3XY all began continuous broadcasting.
By the 1950s it had again been resited and was to be found in the upper storey of a bank in Grey Street, St. Kilda.
In the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s 3AK provided an alternative to country radio, then the accepted place to commence a broadcasting career, many of 3AK's early staff going on to become well known at major stations, e.g.
Due to its poor financial situation, 3AK is believed to have devised a novel system of getting its news – the station had a rope dangling from their studio into the adjoining lane-way and the first newspaper firm to tie their morning edition onto the rope had it read on air.
At this stage, both the Directors, the station's manager, Vernon Margetts and the studio manager, Ray Benn, held conservative Christian beliefs that were reflected in 3AK's program schedule.
For many years, 3AK management had been lobbying the Postmaster General's Department and, then, the Australian Broadcasting Control Board for an increase to its permitted broadcasting hours.
Eventually, 3AK was allowed to broadcast during those daylight hours when it was thought that it would not interfere with transmissions from 2BS.
However, 2BS still experienced difficulties during the summer, and so, for 4 or 5 months per year, 3AK could not broadcast until 7.00 am, and had to close as early as 5.00 pm.
Until the introduction of television in Australia in 1956, the peak hours for any radio station were 7.00 pm-10.00 pm, so 3AK was never able to take advantage of this peak listening period.
In the early 1960s Australian Consolidated Press, owned by the Packer family, took over both television station GTV-9 and, a little later, 3AK.
Therefore, overnight, 3AK changed from a station with a young and virtually unknown announcing staff, to one featuring some of Australia's best-known television personalities, including Philip Brady, Geoff Corke, Tommy Hanlon Jr., Geoff Hiscock, Graham Kennedy, Jack Little, Bert Newton, Eric Pearce, Brian Taylor, Hal Todd, Geraldine Dillon, Eric Welch, Arthur Young, and Frank Zepter.
Despite his claim that he had always loved radio, his first job in the media was with GTV, as from 1958.
Arthur Young was also heard on 3AK at weekends - he was the leader of GTV-9's studio orchestra and presented a classical music program on 3AK.
(This was an era when commercial radio stations were easing out of broadcasting classical music, but a small amount of it was still usually considered de rigueur at weekends.
Former 3AK announcers (Ron Alderton, Terry Calder, Peter Cavanagh, John Print) were redeployed with the GTV organisation; only former Chief Announcer, Ron Alderton, retaining any on-air work at 3AK, albeit only at weekends.
Peter Cavanagh was to make a name for himself as a TV actor, particularly in a number of Hector Crawford Production's police dramas.
Technology in the form of a directional antenna (at 2BS) seemed to be the answer, but this small country station was deaf to ACP's continuous requests, leading to ACP's purchase of 2BS, allowing them to install such an antenna.
During this period, there was a head-on battle for the lucrative Top 40 market between 3XY (managed by Rod Muir) and Rhett Walker's 3AK.
The fact that 3XY won the battle is reflected in 3AK's rapid change from Top 40 to Beautiful music, a predecessor to today's Easy listening music format.
The new format paid dividends for 3AK as it took them to the top of the ratings where they remained for over a decade.
An interesting feature of the early days of 3AK's Beautiful Music format was that it stopped advertising the names of its on-air personalities, claiming that the format was important but not the announcers.
However, despite this successful transformation and solid ratings, another much more dramatic change took place early in the following year when the station went adult contemporary.
Ratings plummeted as rival station 3MP decided to pick up the Easy Listening concept and the relevant audience simply switched from 3AK to 3MP.
In 1986, after just one disastrous ratings period, 3AK and Sydney's 2UE embarked on a shared talk-back format called the CBC Network which featured selected Melbourne and Sydney based programs being broadcast across both stations.
Other programs being produced at the station were presented by well known local personalities such as Ernie Sigley, Wendy Harmer, Jane Clifton, Fabian Datner, David Lentin and Adam Joseph.
3AK was, of course, included in the deal, even though Bond made no secret of the fact that he wanted the TV stations but wasn't really interested in radio.
(Because of Bond's insecure financial position, in 1990 Kerry Packer was able to buy back the Nine Television Network for half of what he had sold it for.
In 1989 the Federal Government invited bids from all capital city AM commercial radio stations for a number of FM licences.
The two highest bidders were 3KZ with a record bid amongst all Australia-wide bidders of A$32 million, and 3AK with a bid of A$22 million.
Because of the dire financial position of Alan Bond (he was soon to be declared bankrupt), 3AK defaulted on the payment for its FM licence, which then went to the third highest Melbourne bidder, 3TT who paid only A$11 million.
In 1990 the station was sold to businessman Peter Corso who sacked most of its workforce in preparation to relaunch 3AK as Australia's first commercial Italian-language radio station.
Nevertheless, the station was not able to get out of its obligations to broadcast the football and, so, at 12 noon on Saturdays football was still broadcast, both during this transition period and for the rest of the season.
3AK continued to broadcast from within the GTV9 complex for about 12 months, before moving to new studios at West Melbourne.
At one stage, Corso contemplated moving away from the unsuccessful Italian format and was in talks with Bert Newton and his partner to sub-lease the station and provide an old-fashioned personality format.
The Australian Broadcasting Tribunal knocked back the application, firstly on the grounds that it could not allow the leasing of stations, and secondly because of questions raised as to the suitability of Newton's partner.
The Italian format continued until 1994 when Corso sold the station to Southern Cross Broadcasting who took the station back to easy-listening music.
Corso was keen to sell 3AK because he had just obtained one of the first of the new narrowcast licences then being offered by the Australian Broadcasting Tribunal.
Therefore, 3AK's Italian programming was transferred to the new narrow-cast station, 3BM, which transmitted from 1116 KC (ironically a wavelength that was later to be used by 3AK itself).
By 1996, Southern Cross had found itself owning 4 radio stations in Melbourne; 3AW, 3AK, 3EE, 3MP; whereas the legal limit is two stations in a single market.
They sold 3AK to a Christian organisation, Fusion Media, who switched the format to a mixture of talk-back and magazine programs and easy listening music.
The station was moved to studios in St. Kilda Road that had originally been built for 3EE (later Magic 693/Magic 1278); later moving again to Swan Street Richmond.
After more years of low ratings and financial troubles, 3AK was sold again, to a small media and data company Data and Commerce Limited (DCL).
In 2001, DCL transferred 3AK from 1503 kHz to 1116 kHz and relaunched 3AK once again as a talk back station in direct competition to top rating stations 3AW and 774 ABC Melbourne.
Some unusual programming decisions and lack of promotion led to 3AK failing to lift from the bottom of the ratings ladder.
In late 2003, DCL announced it had leased the running of radio 3AK to a new organisation Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) who were to convert 3AK to a 24-hour sport radio station.
In January 2004, 3AK became known on-air as SEN 1116 although the official ACA/Australian Communications Authority callsign remains 3AK, a fact that is probably not appreciated by the majority of listeners.
As of the April 2004 ratings, the new format had already managed to lift 3AK's profile as well as the number of listeners.
While initially, ratings were steadily rising, the station's financial position took a turn for the worse in early 2005, with several employees, including Dermott Brereton, Mark Doran, and Robert Shaw not being paid.
The simplest ether, it is a colorless gas that is a useful precursor to other organic compounds and an aerosol propellant that is currently being demonstrated for use in a variety of fuel applications.
Other possible improvements call for a dual catalyst system that permits both methanol synthesis and dehydration in the same process unit, with no methanol isolation and purification.
The EU is considering BioDME in its potential biofuel mix in 2030; It can also be made from biogas or methane from animal, food, and agricultural waste, or even from shale gas or natural gas.
The Volvo Group is the coordinator for the European Community Seventh Framework Programme project BioDME where Chemrec's BioDME pilot plant is based on black liquor gasification in Piteå, Sweden.
A potentially major use of dimethyl ether is as substitute for propane in LPG used as fuel in household and industry.
For diesel engines, an advantage is the high cetane number of 55, compared to that of diesel fuel from petroleum, which is 40–53.
For these reasons as well as being sulfur-free, dimethyl ether meets even the most stringent emission regulations in Europe (EURO5), U.S. (U.S. 2010), and Japan (2009 Japan).
At the European Shell Eco Marathon, an unofficial World Championship for mileage, vehicle running on 100% dimethyl ether drove 589 km/liter (169.8 cm /100 km), fuel equivalent to gasoline with a 50 cm displacement 2-stroke engine.
As well as winning they beat the old standing record of 306 km/liter (326.8 cm/100 km), set by the same team in 2007.
A party in the Radical tradition, since 1972 the PRG was a close ally of the major party of the centre-left in France, the Socialist Party (, PS).
After the 2017 presidential and legislative elections, negotiations to merge the PRG with the Radical Party (from which the PRG emerged in 1972) began and the refounding congress to reunite the parties into the Radical Movement was held on 9 and 10 December 2017.
However, a faction of ex-PRG members, including its last president Sylvia Pinel, split from the Radical Movement in February 2019 due to its expected alliance with La République En Marche in the European elections and plans to resurrect the PRG.
The party was formed in 1972 by a split from the Republican, Radical, and Radical-Socialist Party, once the dominant party of the French Left.
It was founded by Radicals who opposed Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber's centrist direction and chose to join the Union of the Left and agreed to the Common Programme signed by the Socialist Party (PS) and the French Communist Party (PCF).
At that time, the party was known as the Movement of the Radical Socialist Left (, MGRS), then as the Movement of Radicals of the Left (, MRG) after 1973.
Nevertheless, its electoral influence did not compare with those of its two allies, which competed for the leadership over the left.
Robert Fabre sought to attract left-wing Gaullists to the party and gradually became close to President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, who nominated him as Mediator of the Republic in 1978.
Michel Crépeau was nominated by the party for the 1981 presidential election and obtained a disappointing 2.09% in the first round.
The MRG won 14 seats in the subsequent 1981 legislative election and participated in PS-led governments between 1981 and 1986 and again between 1988 and 1993.
In the 1984 European elections, the MRG formed a common list with Brice Lalonde's environmentalists and Olivier Stirn, a centre-right deputy.
The party resumed its customary alliance with the PS in the 1986 legislative election and supported President Mitterrand's 1988 reelection bid by the first round.
At the beginning of the 1990s, under the leadership of the popular businessman Bernard Tapie the party benefited from an ephemeral upswing in its popularity while the governing SP was in disarray.
However, Tapie retired from politics due to his legal problems and the party, renamed the Radical Socialist Party (, PRS), returned to its lowest ebb.
After the Radical Party opened legal proceedings against the PRS, it was forced to change its name to the Radical Party of the Left (, PRG).
In the 2002 presidential election, the PRG nominated its own candidate, former MEP and French Guiana deputy Christiane Taubira, for the first time since 1981.
In the 2007 presidential election, while the party supported the PS candidate Ségolène Royal, Bernard Tapie, who had been a leading figure in the PRG, supported Nicolas Sarkozy.
Six deputies (Gérard Charasse, Paul Giacobbi, Annick Girardin, Joël Giraud, Dominique Orliac and Sylvia Pinel) and three senators (Jean-Michel Baylet, André Boyer and François Vendasi) opted to vote in favour, hence allowing for its passage.
The PRG's then-president Jean-Michel Baylet ran in the 2011 SP presidential primaries, the only non-PS candidate in the field, but was placed last with only 0.64% of the vote in the primary.
With four additional members, it formed its own parliamentary group in the National Assembly, the Radical, Republican, Democratic and Progressive group.
Although the PRG remained a close and loyal ally of the PS, it has also cooperated with the small Ecology Generation (GE) party since December 2011.
In the 2014 European elections, the party received 13.98% of the vote on a joint list with the PS, electing one MEP Virginie Rozière, who joined the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D) group with PS MEPs.
In the 2017 SP presidential primary, PRG candidate Sylvia Pinel received 2% of the vote in the first round election held on 22 January 2017.
Former cabinet minister and former deputy Émile Zuccarelli is a left-wing republican who strongly opposed Corsican nationalism and supported the no vote in the 2005 European constitutional referendum, positions much closer to Jean-Pierre Chevènement's Citizen and Republican Movement (MRC).
The PRG remained rather weak on its own electorally, averaging around 2% of the vote (2002 presidential candidate Christiane Taubira won 2.32% of the vote); which explains why the party depended on its stronger ally, the PS for support and parliamentary representation.
The major exception was in Corsica, where the party was historically the largest party on the non-nationalist French Left and remains so to its time of dissolution due to a tradition of political dynasties (such as the Giacobbi family) and the weak infrastructure of the PS on the island.
Paul Giacobbi represented Haute-Corse in the National Assembly until he stood down at the 2017 elections (Émile Zuccarelli, an internal rival of Giacobbi and current mayor of Bastia, also represented the island in Paris until his 2007 defeat) and Senators Nicolas Alfonsi and François Vendasi represented the Corsican PRG in the Senate.
In metropolitan France, the PRG was able to sustain a long-lasting Radical tradition dating back to the French Third Republic, most notably in the southwest or departments such as the Eure-et-Loir and Eure.
J. Charles (Chuck) Guité (born 1943 or 1944 in Dugas, Quebec, on the Gaspé peninsula), raised in Campbellton, New Brunswick, is a former Canadian civil servant, appointed by Brian Mulroney's Progressive Conservative government.
He held his position under the Liberal government of Jean Chretien and was in charge of the federal sponsorship program from 1996 to 1999.
On December 23, 2008 the National Parole Board authorized Guité's conditional release making him eligible for day parole on February 15, 2009 and full parole on September 16, 2009.
Agriculture became a dominant feature in Loma's early economy, enabled by the completion of the Kiefer Extension irrigation canal in 1899.
The first school was established in the 1890s, and the two-story Loma School was constructed in 1910 from yellow brick, fired on the grounds.
Sugar beets were a primary crop, and beet production dominated Loma's agriculture until the 1970s, when the Delta Sugar Beet factory closed.
A second irrigation canal called the Highline Canal was built through Loma in 1917, and led to significant economic growth and several bumper crops during the 1920s.
By 1923, Loma had a school, blacksmith, garage, railroad station, school, two-story hotel, shipping yard, post office, pool hall, two churches, two grocery stores, and many two-story homes.
In the 1950s, a pipeline was constructed along an abandoned Uintah Railway track to carry a mixture of crushed gilsonite ore and water from Bonanza, Utah to Loma.
In July 2015, the Colorado Department of Transportation installed Loma's first signal light at the intersection of Highway 139 and Route 6.
A sense of openness that is created by farmsteads, viable agriculture, farm based businesses, small subdivisions, mixed housing types and lot sizes, single-lane farm roads, and two core villages [Loma and Mack] that are the focal points of the surrounding landscape.
The underpinnings of rural character is supported by this self chosen lifestyle of small town values, family, community, independence, responsibility, conservation, entrepreneurship, and a strong work ethic.
The current agricultural base of the Loma area consists predominately of small scale cattle operations, row crop cultivation, and lifestyle agriculture.
The Loma Boat Launch State Wildlife Area, located south of Loma, is a popular access point to the Colorado River for recreation activities.
The trail follows a route which passes through the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area, a conservation area located south of Loma.
Mack is an unincorporated community and a U.S. Post Office located about 10 miles east of the Colorado/Utah border in Mesa County, Colorado, United States.
This is a permanent festival site created for music festivals, including Country Jam, an event that has been held since 1992 and one that draws thousands of country music fans to the area.
She was a major Hollywood star during the 1920s and 1930s and for a time during the early 1930s, she was the highest-paid actress in Hollywood, as well as one of the most popular.
Bennett frequently played society women, focusing on melodramas in the early 1930s and then taking more comedic roles in the late 1930s and 1940s.
Constance Bennett was born in New York City, the eldest of three daughters of actress Adrienne Morrison and actor Richard Bennett.
She abandoned a burgeoning career in silents for marriage to Philip Plant in 1925, but resumed her film career after their divorce, with the advent of talking pictures (1929), and with her delicate blonde features and glamorous fashion style, she quickly became a popular film star.
So successful was Bennett during this time, that RKO, Bennett's home studio at the time, controlled the careers of actresses Ann Harding and Helen Twelvetrees in a similar manner, hoping to duplicate Bennett's success.
(1932), directed by George Cukor, an ironic and at the same time tragic behind-the-scenes looks at the old Hollywood studio system, in which she portrayed waitress Mary Evans, who becomes a movie star.
On June 15, 1921, Bennett eloped with Chester Hirst Moorehead of Chicago, a student at the University of Virginia who was the son of oral surgeon, Frederick Moorehead.
In November 1925, the two eloped and were married in Greenwich, Connecticut, by the same justice of the peace who officiated at Bennett's wedding to Moorehead.
In 1932, Bennett returned from Europe with a three-year-old child, whom she claimed to have adopted and named Peter Bennett Plant (born 1929).
In 1942, however, during a battle over a large trust fund established to benefit any descendants of her former husband, Bennett announced that her adopted son actually was her natural child by Plant, born after the divorce and kept hidden to ensure that the child's biological father did not get custody.
In 1931, Bennett made headlines when she married one of Gloria Swanson's former husbands, Henri le Bailly, the Marquis de La Coudraye de La Falaise, a French nobleman and film director.
Later that year, Bennett married for the fifth and final time to US Air Force Colonel (later Brigadier General) John Theron Coulter.
After her marriage, she concentrated her efforts on providing relief entertainment to US troops still stationed in Europe, winning military honors for her services.
Shortly after filming was completed, on July 25, 1965, Bennett collapsed and died from a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 60.
In recognition of her military contributions, and as the wife of John Theron Coulter, who had achieved the rank of brigadier general, she was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
Viridor (from the Latin 'to become green') is a recycling, renewable energy and waste management company in the United Kingdom, owned by Pennon Group, a FTSE 250 plc focused on the water and waste management industries.
Haul Waste became part of Pennon (then South West Water Ltd) in 1993, and grew by purchasing companies in the waste collection and landfill disposal market.
In 1995 it bought Blue Circle Waste Management, bringing about in 1998 South West Water's name change to Pennon Group, and the merger of Haul Waste and Blue Circle Waste Management under Viridor.
It subsequently acquired part of Churngold's waste business in June 2003, Thames Waste Management in 2004, Somerset LAWDC Wyvern Waste in 2006, Grosvenor Waste Management and Skipaway Holdings in 2007, and Shore Recycling in 2008.
Today the business is valued at around £4 billion, with recent acquisitions and growth focused on expanding the company's recycling and energy from waste capacity.
Richard Lewis (born 1969) is the former leader of two conservative Christian political parties in New Zealand, Destiny New Zealand and The Family Party.
In 2003 Lewis was instrumental in the establishment of the Destiny New Zealand political party, which derived primarily from Destiny Church which is headed by Brian Tamaki.
The party went on to stand 42 candidates in the 2005 general election, and was one of only three parties to stand in all 7 Māori electorates.
The party did not win any electorate seats and received 0.62% of the party vote, which did not meet the 5% threshold to achieve parliamentary representation.
Lewis himself stood as his party's candidate for Manukau East and came third behind the two major party candidates from Labour and National with 1,111 votes (3.4%).
The earliest evidence of human occupation unearthed so far by archaeological investigations is that of the Thule culture, dating to approximately 1000 years ago.
Franklin’s journal records states that he wished to honour the name Herschel, of which three persons are notable for their scientific accomplishments: Sir William Herschel, his sister Caroline Herschel, and his son Sir John Herschel.
Estimates of the number of people living on the island (and along the Yukon North Slope) at that time ranged from 200 to 2000.
In the late 19th century, whalers discovered that the Beaufort Sea was one of the last refuges of the depleted bowhead whale, which was prized for its baleen, blubber, and oil.
At the height of the Beaufort Sea whaling period (1893–94) the number of residents on the island was estimated at 1,500, making it the largest Yukon community at that time.
With a recreation room, an office for the manager and storekeeper, and storage facilities, the Community House became the most prominent building on the island.
The first court case held in the Canadian Arctic took place at Pauline Cove in 1924 in a building known as the Bonehouse, which was built in the mid-1890s as a storehouse for baleen (whalebone).
The following year, he and Constable Sutherland established a detachment on the island, which was at first based in two small sod huts.
Command was transferred to Aklavik in 1931, and Herschel Island was patrolled intermittently until 1948, when the detachment was reopened on a seasonal basis.
Constable Lamont died from typhoid fever at Hershel Island, Yukon, while attending to the needs of another victim of the disease.
Constable Carl Lennart Sundell, aged 24 years, was stationed on board the RCMP supply schooner HERSCHEL at the time of his death and died as a result of an accidental shooting.
These buildings still stand, though in recent years they have been moved as much as 10 meters inland, away from the receding shoreline.
While the island did see some renewed activity in the 1970s when it became a temporary safe harbour for oil-drilling ships, its last permanent, year-round residents (the MacKenzie family) left in 1987.
It is approximately by between shorelines, with a rolling tundra terrain that ranges in height from sea level to 182 m (596 ft).
The island was created from sediments that were thrust up by a lobe of Laurentide glacier ice emanating from the Mackenzie Valley and moving westward along the coastal plain approximately 30,000 years ago.
The island is subject to very high rates of coastal erosion due to the ice-rich nature of the underlying permafrost, and its surface heaves and rolls down its own hillsides from the effects of frost creep and solifluction.
July is the warmest month, with a mean temperature of 7.4 °C (45.3 °F) and a mean daytime high of 12.8 °C (55 °F), but can reach as high as 30 °C (86 °F).
January temperatures average -27 °C (-16.6 °F) to -30 °C (-22 °F), but temperatures have been known to reach as low as -50 °C (-58 °F).
The sun does not appear above the horizon from November 29 to January 14, but significant twilight is experienced for a few hours in the late morning and early afternoon during the latter period.
Bowhead whales can still be seen from Herschel as they migrate westward to the Bering Sea in September, feeding close to the surface on krill.
Ringed seals are the most common marine mammals in this part of the Arctic, feeding on fish along the edges of the ice during the summer months.
Its humid maritime climate during the growing season fosters a lush growth of tundra flowers, including vetches, louseworts, Arctic lupines, arnicas, and forget-me-nots.
Herschel Island Territorial Park, together with Ivvavik National Park and Vuntut National Park (both on the Yukon mainland), is a leading contender to become Canada's next UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The report states that a decrease in sea ice, and consequent increase in coastal erosion, poses a serious threat to Herschel Island's historic resources.
There are several active thaw slumps of considerable size along the south-eastern shore of the island and they have increased in abundance and size over the last fifty years.
It broadcasts from the studios of BBC East in The Forum, Norwich on 95.1 FM (Stoke Holy Cross), 104.4 FM (Great Massingham), 95.6 FM (West Runton, near Cromer), 855 kHz AM/MW (Postwick, east Norwich near the A47), 873 kHz AM/MW (West Lynn, near the A47 and River Great Ouse), DAB and through the internet using BBC iPlayer.
The station has regularly been one of the most listened-to on the BBC Local Radio network, as highest-rated in mainland England in 2003 and 2006.
It was the first BBC local station in East Anglia and the first after a gap of several years in the corporation's local radio development, due to the Government's review of local radio (both BBC and independent services) in the late 1970s.
Due to the policy of launching only one local radio service at a time in a particular area, when it came to choosing whether Norfolk or Devon would receive a BBC or commercial station first, there was contention between the BBC and the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) as to who would get which area.
Radio Norfolk was one of the first BBC stations to be based on a county, rather than a town; it was also first to broadcast in stereo (though only to East Norfolk; the remainder of the county had to wait until 2005).
Initially, there was insufficient budget for a full schedule; the station had a breakfast show, a two-hour show at midday and then an extended five o'clock news and sports bulletin, while using BBC Radio 2 outside these times.
In 2011, when BBC economy measures raised the idea that local radio football commentaries could be cut back, the possibility was criticised by the local press in Norfolk, praising the station for the passion of its commentaries.
The programme also made the news itself, when James Prior announced his resignation as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland live during a show.
The show gained a strong reputation for solving listeners' consumer problems, and in 2000 was given the British Insurance Brokers' Association Media Award for its work in this area.
White was the first presenter to go on-air after the station moved studios from Norfolk Tower to The Forum in the summer of 2003.
In recompense for this, Chaney was promised the editorship of a BBC Local Radio station, and was given the job at Norfolk.
He had first joined the BBC in 1961, and had also worked at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, the BBC's famous electronic music and sound effects department in London.
He subsequently returned to the television side of BBC East's operations, and then became the Head of Regional and Local Programmes for the area in 2002.
David Clayton became BBC Radio Norfolk's Managing Editor in 1998, having been a broadcaster at the station since the early 1980s and the Assistant Editor under Salmon and then Bishop since 1991.
Clayton was replaced in March 2016 by Peter Cook, who combines his role as Managing Editor for both Radio Norfolk and BBC Radio Suffolk.
BBC Radio Norfolk has frequently gained some of the highest audience figures of any of the BBC's local radio stations in England.
Figures from the radio audience measuring body RAJAR have regularly shown that over 200,000 people in Norfolk listen to some part of the station's output in any given week.
When criticising proposed BBC local radio cutbacks in December 2011, South Norfolk MP Richard Bacon claimed in a letter to Lord Patten, the Chairman of the BBC Trust, that only the national station BBC Radio 2 gained higher audiences in Norfolk than BBC Radio Norfolk did.
In 2010 wildlife expert Chris Skinner was runner-up in the Best Specialist Contributor category for his broadcasts as part of Matthew Gudgin's programme.
BBC Radio Norfolk has also won success at the Frank Gillard Awards, the BBC's own internal awards for its local radio stations.
In 2010, the station's Sophie Price won the Original Journalism category for a documentary she had made about teenage pregnancy in Norfolk.
At the 2006 EDF Energy East of England Media Awards the station's Paul Moseley won the Radio Journalist of the Year award.
In 2009 Nikki Fox won the title, and at the 2010 ceremony Nicky Price was joint-winner of the Sports Journalist of the Year category, while the Nick Conrad show took the Radio News/Current Affairs Programme of the Year title.
Keith Skipper, a former presenter on the station until he left in 1995, has criticised BBC Radio Norfolk for a lack of local focus to some of its programming.
In the early 1980s, BBC Radio Norfolk had a small office for the district reporter based in Great Yarmouth, situated in the premises of the Port and Haven Commissioners on the town's South Quay.
The studio there was used for live inserts into programmes from Norwich, interviews with guests from the Great Yarmouth area, and the preparation of pre-recorded items by the Great Yarmouth district reporter.
The 95.1 FM signal covers the Norwich area, 104.4 FM covers the West and King's Lynn area, while 95.6 FM (which came on-air on 12 September 2005) serves north Norfolk.
The Stoke Holy Cross transmission site also broadcasts Heart East on 102.4 FM, Kiss 105-108 East on 106.1 FM and 99.9 Radio Norwich.
From 31 March 2003, DAB signals have come from the NOW Digital Norfolk multiplex, originally broadcast on Block 11B and moved to 10B on 10 September 2015.
In January 2020 the BBC announced that Radio Norfolk's medium wave service from Postwick on 855kHz covering the eastern part of the county will close later in the year.
The station also takes shared regional programmes from sister stations BBC Radio Suffolk, BBC Essex, BBC Three Counties Radio and BBC Radio Northampton.
BBC Radio Suffolk is the BBC Local Radio service for the English county of Suffolk, commencing broadcasts on 12 April 1990.
The station broadcasts on 95.5 (Oulton, near Lowestoft), 95.9 (Aldeburgh), 103.9 (Manningtree) and 104.6 (Great Barton, four miles north-east of Bury St Edmunds near the B1106 and Conyers Green) FM.
It is available in parts of Suffolk on DAB 10C and from Sudbury and Tacolneston television transmitters (plus relays of) on Freeview channel 720.
The 154.4 metre (507 ft) antenna mast transmitter is just south of Manningtree, in Essex, and is also one of the BBC Essex MW transmitters.
It covered just the town of Lowestoft itself, leaving other nearby areas reliant on the transmitters at Manningtree or Great Barton.
Aldeburgh and East Suffolk The 95.9FM frequency, from the Aldeburgh mast, began in 2004 and had to be approved by the Dutch government in case of interference in the Netherlands.
Aldeburgh is a relay of Manningtree on 103.9FM, all the other transmitters have direct links with ISDN backup system in place (August 2017).
Radio Suffolk is licenced to broadcast commentary on all Ipswich Town league and cup games on FM and Dab, but not on Freeview or via the BBC iplayer or Sounds app.
DAB signal is on 10C from Mendlesham (Central Suffolk and Ipswich), Puttock's Hill (Bury St Edmunds), Warren Heath (Ipswich), Felixstowe (Town and Dock area).
Suffolk MUX testing started on 30 September 2016 and launched on 7 October 2017 at 9:30am.. Due to the few masts currently in use, there is a lack of coverage towards the Suffolk Coast north of Felixstowe to Lowestoft.
Sudbury, Newmarket, Haverhill, Lowestoft, Southwold and Beccles & Bungay also have very poor or no DAB coverage of the Suffolk MUX.
Digital TV From 6 June 2016, BBC Radio Suffolk was available on Freeview and YouView channel 720 as part of the nationwide roll out of BBC local radio stations on Freeview.
During off-peak hours, BBC Radio Suffolk also carries regional programming for the East, produced from sister stations BBC Radio Norfolk, BBC Essex, BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, BBC 3 Counties Radio and BBC Radio Northampton.
It broadcasts from its studios on New London Road in Chelmsford on 95.3 (South Benfleet) and 103.5 (Great Braxted) FM, and on 729 (Manningtree), 765 (Bakers Wood).The station also broadcast on 1530 (Rayleigh) AM until 15 January 2018, when transmissions ceased.
It is also available on DAB, Freeview TV channel 734 (in Essex, East Anglia, the south east and London) and live streaming via the internet.
There had also been a pirate station called Radio Essex in the 1960s, and currently there is an independent radio station called Radio Essex.
However, over the years the style has been toned down and the format is now more in line with the rest of the BBC local radio network.
The station has also employed a number of high-profile presenters including James Whale, Jonathan Overend (BBC Radio 5 Live), Tim 'Timbo' Lloyd (twice winner of Best Local DJ at the Sony Radio Awards), Mark Pougatch (ITV Sport), Dermot O'Leary (National radio & TV presenter) and music promoter Eric 'Monster' Hall.
A revised programme schedule at the station occurred in September 2015 following the appointment of Lou Birt as Managing Editor in April 2015, following the departure of predecessor Gerald Main, who held the role from 2007 until February 2015.
The 500 ft Manningtree tower, which is on 729kHz, also has national FM radio frequencies, Absolute Radio on 1233kHz, BBC National DAB, Digital One and Essex DAB.
The Bakers Wood (Chelmsford) transmitter on 765kHz also has Heart Essex on 102.6FM, and Smooth Radio on 1359kHz and is another of the DAB transmitters.
Local DAB signals, since 20 May 2002, are the Essex 12D multiplex, which has further transmitters at Maitland House (Southend-on-Sea town centre), Colchester, Sudbury (in Suffolk), and Rye Hill (south of Harlow - on a water tower).
BBC Essex also used to transmit on 1530kHz from Rayleigh (Southend) until January 2018 but this was closed as a cost saving measure.
From 10 to 17 April 2004, BBC Essex marked the fortieth anniversary of offshore radio in Britain by launching their own ship-based radio station, Pirate BBC Essex.
This was followed in August 2007 by another broadcast marking the anniversary of the closing of the pirate stations by the Marine Offences Act.
This was broadcast on the AM frequencies, as well as on the Internet, which resulted in many calls from as far away as New Zealand.
Presenters included Johnnie Walker, Tony Blackburn, Dave Cash and Keith Skues as well as three of the station's presenters: Steve Scruton; Ian Wyatt & Ray Clark.
BBC Essex presenter Ray Clark authored a book called 'Radio Caroline: The True Story of The Boat That Rocked' which was published in early 2014.
Starting at 10pm on 13 August 2017 Keith Skues presented his regular, 3 hour regional Sunday night show from the LV18 studio, and on 14 August 2017 programmes were broadcast commencing at 9am, with the eventual closure at 3pm, marking the 50th anniversary of the Marine Offences Act which closed most pirate radio stations.
During off-peak hours, the station carries regional programming for the East of England, produced from sister stations BBC Radio Norfolk, BBC Radio Suffolk, BBC Radio Cambridgeshire and BBC Radio Northampton.
Therefore, as well as Luton and Bedford (and the rest of Bedfordshire), Milton Keynes, Hemel Hempstead, Harpenden, Aylesbury, St Albans, Welwyn Garden City, Letchworth, Stevenage and Hitchin were served by the new station.
The new name was intended to reflect the wider reach across the three counties and to give equal service to all.
The editorial area was not, at that point, expanded but enhanced studio facilities and staff were devoted to Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire.
New transmitters at Epping Green and Bedmond extended the coverage to Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield and west Hertfordshire in late 2005.
The station's satellite studio at Willen in Milton Keynes produced separate breakfast show for the Milton Keynes area from October 2001 until September 2012.
With the opening of new transmitters in Buckinghamshire, the Milton Keynes opt-outs were extended across the whole county, with a separate drivetime show from November 2004 until October 2005, before producing the separate lunchtime programme which ended in February 2007 with a revamp of the schedule.
BBC Three Counties Radio broadcasts on 90.4FM (Epping Green, near Hertford), 92.1FM (Bedmond, near Hemel Hempstead), 94.7FM (Quainton Hill, near Aylesbury), 95.5FM (Sandy Heath), 98.0FM (High Wycombe), 103.8FM (Zouches Farm, near Luton), 104.5FM (Bow Brickhill, near Milton Keynes), 630 kHz 0.2 kW MW (Lewsey Farm, near Luton), 1161 kHz (Kempston, near Bedford), and streaming from the BBC 3CR website.
BBC 3CR is also carried only the Herts, Beds and Bucks digital radio multiplex, transmitted from Sandy Heath, Epping Green, Hemel Hempstead, Chepping Wycombe, Letchworth, Zouches Farm and Bow Brickhill.
During off-peak hours, BBC Three Counties Radio also carries regional programming for the East, produced from sister stations BBC Radio Norfolk, BBC Essex, BBC Radio Suffolk and BBC Radio Northampton.
The station has two FM transmitters, with 104.2 FM broadcast from the Boughton Green Road area of Northampton, and 103.6 FM broadcast from a mast near the village of Geddington.
Listeners can tune into 104.2 in the south and west of the county (including Northampton and surrounding area), whereas 103.6 serves the north and east (including Kettering and Corby).
Radio Northampton was originally available on 1107 kHz MW across the County from a transmitter at Kings Heath; this was reallocated to Virgin Radio using 1233 kHz.
For the north-east of the county near Oundle, the Peterborough transmitter has Radio Cambridgeshire on DAB from a NOW Digital multiplex.
The transmitter at Daventry on Borough Hill has BBC National DAB, Digital One 11D and an MXR West Midlands 12A multiplex (since August 2001).
NOW Digital expected to start broadcasting from the three transmitters at Northampton, Geddington and Daventry in September 2008, however transmissions eventually began on 28 March 2013 on DAB channel 10C.
The line-up was identical to that of the neighbouring Herts, Beds and Bucks multiplex, consisting of local Northamptonshire stations (BBC Radio Northampton: countywide, Connect FM: Wellingborough, Kettering, Corby) and national stations (Capital, Gold and Heart: Northants, Bucks, MK, Beds and Herts regional service), along with stations aimed at the Herts, Beds and Bucks area (BBC Three Counties Radio and MKFM).
From February 2015, OFCOM approved the separation of the Northamptonshire multiplex from the Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire multiplex, resulting in the removal of BBC Three Counties Radio, BOB fm and MKFM from the Northamptonshire multiplex, and the removal of BBC Radio Northampton from the Herts, Beds and Bucks multiplex.
Football commentators include Tim Oglethorpe, Alex Winter, Ian Benjamin and Terry Angus for Northampton Town, Peter Short for Kettering Town, Chris Barrett at Brackley/Rushden and Chuck Middleton at Corby.
The sports team is also supplemented by News Editor Laura Cook who has a particular interest in motor sport and horse racing.
The station broadcasts 3 weekly sports shows from 6 - 7PM, The Saints Show on Wednesday presented by McKechnie, Newman and Hunter, focusing on a guest from Northampton Saints, The Cobblers Show/The Cricket Show on Thursday and Friday Night Sport.
During off-peak hours, BBC Radio Northampton also carries regional programming for the East, produced from sister stations BBC Radio Norfolk, BBC Essex, BBC Three Counties Radio and BBC Radio Suffolk.
The station's local presenters include Annabel Amos (weekday breakfast), Bernie Keith (weekday mornings / Saturday evenings), Helen Blaby (weekday afternoons), Wayne Bavin (weekday drivetime) and Tim Wheeler (weekday evenings).
ViLoR (Virtual Local Radio) is the name of a BBC project that uses computer virtualisation and audio-over-IP to reduce the amount of equipment at a radio station.
Like other BBC local radio stations Radio Northampton no longer uses a car with a pump-up mast to get reports from locations around its area and instead uses a van with a satellite dish.
A tweet was sent from the Twitter account on the day after the President's Inauguration, claiming that Donald Trump had been shot, but later the BBC confirmed that the account had been hacked.
It broadcasts on 96 (Madingley, close to the A428-A1303 junction five miles west of Cambridge) and 95.7 (Morborne, south-west of Peterborough, two miles west of the A1 near Norman Cross) FM, DAB, and via its web page using RealPlayer.
Under the first manager, Hal Bethell, Radio Cambridgeshire's early broadcasts were restricted to a few hours at breakfast and two hours in the afternoon.
When Hal Bethell left the station because of his health, he was replaced by the deputy manager of Radio Lincolnshire, Dave Wilkinson.
The Peterborough studio opened in a single office in Broadway Court, rented from Peterborough Development Corporation, the body responsible for the city's expansion as a New Town.
The broadcasting equipment was two Studer tape recorders, a four-channel mixer and two microphones, which were placed on a table surrounded by mobile sound baffles.
Ian Cameron, the first broadcaster from there the day Radio Cambridgeshire opened, realised at the last moment that the wall behind the temporary studio abutted the office block's lavatories and asked the staff in Cambridge to listen while he flushed the cistern.
In 1983, Peterborough was equipped with its own studio, using a 12-channel Audix mixing desk made in the county and two Studer B67 tape machines, with a third machine for editing in a neighbouring office.
That office later become a studio as well, although it could go on the air only from the main studio alongside.
At first, the opt-out was used only for traffic information in the morning news programme and, later in the day, for five-minute spots of purely local information.
The first full opt-out programme from Peterborough was presented by Les Woodland in the afternoon while John Richards broadcast from Cambridge.
The Peterborough Breakfast show opt out was abandoned in 2013 due to BBC cutbacks and presenter, Paul Stainton, took over presenting duties of a new countywide show, before leaving the station in 2017.
The first complete programme broadcast away from the studio was the same year, from the East of England Show in Peterborough, presented by Anne Bristow.
The studios were equipped with a microphone and a small mixing desk and were used to save contributors a journey to Cambridge or to Peterborough.
The first station badge or symbol was a design suggesting Cambridgeshire's three main rivers, the Nene, the Ouse and the Cam.
Before the station came on the air, the manager, Hal Bethell, arranged with the Pye radio company, which had long been associated with Cambridge, to use a design based on the sun-through-clouds design which Pye previously cut into the loudspeaker screens of its original radios.
The sun-and-clouds symbol remained until a BBC ruling that all its stations should have a joint logo to underline the national nature of the local service.
On 30 October 2004, a fire broke out (thought to be arson) 80 ft up the main Peterborough mast, one mile west of Morborne, and the heat caused the whole mast to collapse.
The Madingley transmitter also carries national FM BBC radio, Digital One, BBC National DAB, Heart East and Kiss 105-108 on 105.6 FM as well as the NOW Cambridge DAB multiplex.
The DAB signals come from two multiplexes in Cambridgeshire – a rarity for BBC local radio stations, as some do not yet broadcast on digital.
During off-peak hours, BBC Radio Cambridgeshire also carries regional programming for the East, produced from sister stations BBC Radio Norfolk, BBC Essex, BBC Radio Suffolk, BBC Radio Northampton and BBC Three Counties Radio.
The station's local programming begins at 6am each day and continues until 11pm on Mondays, 10pm from Tuesday to Friday, 6pm on Saturdays, and 2pm on Sundays.
Other national broadcasters who started their careers at the station include Matthew Amroliwala (BBC News 24), Paul Stainton (BBC News/FIVE LIVE), Mick Meadows (Radio 1), Nick Barraclough (BBC Radio 2), Ian Peacock (BBC Radio 4), Martin Popplewell (Sky News), Mark Saggers (talkSPORT), and Dr Chris Smith (BBC Radio 5 live).
BBC Cambridgeshire is also the home of multi award-winning science programme The Naked Scientists, a group of Cambridge University doctors and researchers with a passion for making science fun.
They are joined in the studio by a succession of guest scientists who talk about their work and take questions live from the audience.
The Naked Scientists is supported by a website, which contains archived editions of their previous programmes in streamed and podcast formats.
Archiving their radio programmes online in this way, in 2005 the Naked Scientists were the first BBC local radio programme to co-exist as a podcast in the iTunes music store.
Between 2003 and 2012 the Naked Scientists was broadcast across the BBC East region comprising eight local BBC radio stations in the east of England.
A fanfare (or fanfarade or flourish) is a short musical flourish that is typically played by trumpets or other brass instruments, often accompanied by percussion .
The word is first found in 1546 in French, and in English in 1605, but it was not until the 19th century that it acquired its present meaning of a brief ceremonial flourish for brass .
Copland's Fanfare is one of a series of 18 commissioned by Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra conductor Eugene Goossens in 1942–43, each to open a concert.
The only one of these fanfares to become well known is Copland's; the others are rarely if ever performed or recorded.
In physiology, a stimulus (plural stimuli or stimuluses) is a detectable change in the physical or chemical structure of an organism's internal or external environment.
These sensory receptors can receive information from outside the body, as in touch receptors found in the skin or light receptors in the eye, as well as from inside the body, as in chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors.
In order for a stimulus to be detected with high probability, its level must exceed the absolute threshold; if a signal does reach threshold, the information is transmitted to the central nervous system (CNS), where it is integrated and a decision on how to react is made.
Although stimuli commonly cause the body to respond, it is the CNS that finally determines whether a signal causes a reaction or not.
Examples of mechanoreceptors include baroreceptors which detect changes in blood pressure, Merkel's discs which can detect sustained touch and pressure, and hair cells which detect sound stimuli.
Homeostatic imbalances that can serve as internal stimuli include nutrient and ion levels in the blood, oxygen levels, and water levels.
Deviations from the homeostatic ideal may generate a homeostatic emotion, such as pain, thirst or fatigue, that motivates behavior that will restore the body to stasis (such as withdrawal, drinking or resting).
Nerves embed themselves within these receptors and when they detect stretching, they are stimulated and fire action potentials to the central nervous system.
If these nerves do not detect stretching, the body determines perceives low blood pressure as a dangerous stimulus and signals are not sent, preventing the inhibition CNS action; blood vessels constrict and the heart rate increases, causing an increase in blood pressure in the body.
The feeling is recorded by sensory receptors on the skin and travels to the central nervous system, where it is integrated and a decision on how to respond is made; if it is decided that a response must be made, a signal is sent back down to a muscle, which acts appropriately according to the stimulus.
The postcentral gyrus is the location of the primary somatosensory area, the main sensory receptive area for the sense of touch.
This amount of sensation has a definable value and is often considered to be the force exerted by dropping the wing of a bee onto your cheek from a distance of one centimeter.
Information, or stimuli, in the form of light enters the retina, where it excites a special type of neuron called a photoreceptor cell.
A local graded potential begins in the photoreceptor, where it excites the cell enough for the impulse to be passed along through a track of neurons to the central nervous system.
As the signal travels from photoreceptors to larger neurons, action potentials must be created for the signal to have enough strength to reach the CNS.
If the stimulus does not warrant a strong enough response, it is said to not reach absolute threshold, and the body does not react.
However, if the stimulus is strong enough to create an action potential in neurons away from the photoreceptor, the body will integrate the information and react appropriately.
The absolute threshold for vision is the minimum amount of sensation needed to elicit a response from photoreceptors in the eye.
This amount of sensation has a definable value and is often considered to be the amount of light present from someone holding up a single candle 30 miles away, if one's eyes were adjusted to the dark.
The olfactory epithelium, which contains olfactory receptor cells, covers the inferior surface of the cribiform plate, the superior portion of the perpendicular plate, the superior nasal concha.
Only roughly two percent of airborne compounds inhaled are carried to olfactory organs as a small sample of the air being inhaled.
The absolute threshold for smell is the minimum amount of sensation needed to elicit a response from receptors in the nose.
This amount of sensation has a definable value and is often considered to be a single drop of perfume in a six-room house.
The absolute threshold for taste is the minimum amount of sensation needed to elicit a response from receptors in the mouth.
This amount of sensation has a definable value and is often considered to be a single drop of quinine sulfate in 250 gallons of water.
Changes in pressure caused by sound reaching the external ear resonate in the tympanic membrane, which articulates with the auditory ossicles, or the bones of the middle ear.
These tiny bones multiply these pressure fluctuations as they pass the disturbance into the cochlea, a spiral-shaped bony structure within the inner ear.
Hair cells in the cochlear duct, specifically the organ of Corti, are deflected as waves of fluid and membrane motion travel through the chambers of the cochlea.
Bipolar sensory neurons located in the center of the cochlea monitor the information from these receptor cells and pass it on to the brainstem via the cochlear branch of cranial nerve VIII.
The absolute threshold for sound is the minimum amount of sensation needed to elicit a response from receptors in the ears.
This amount of sensation has a definable value and is often considered to be a watch ticking in an otherwise soundless environment 20 feet away.
Semi circular ducts, which are connected directly to the cochlea, can interpret and convey to the brain information about equilibrium by a similar method as the one used for hearing.
Hair cells in these parts of the ear protrude kinocilia and stereocilia into a gelatinous material that lines the ducts of this canal.
In parts of these semi circular canals, specifically the maculae, calcium carbonate crystals known as statoconia rest on the surface of this gelatinous material.
When tilting the head or when the body undergoes linear acceleration, these crystals move disturbing the cilia of the hair cells and, consequently, affecting the release of neurotransmitter to be taken up by surrounding sensory nerves.
In other areas of the semi circular canal, specifically the ampulla, a structure known as the cupula—analogous to the gelatinous material in the maculae—distorts hair cells in a similar fashion when the fluid medium that surrounds it causes the cupula itself to move.
In general, cellular response to stimuli is defined as a change in state or activity of a cell in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, or gene expression.
Receptors on cell surfaces are sensing components that monitor stimuli and respond to changes in the environment by relaying the signal to a control center for further processing and response.
Sensory receptors have a well-defined range of stimuli to which they respond, and each is tuned to the particular needs of the organism.
In response to a mechanical stimulus, cellular sensors of force are proposed to be extracellular matrix molecules, cytoskeleton, transmembrane proteins, proteins at the membrane-phospholipid interface, elements of the nuclear matrix, chromatin, and the lipid bilayer.
Response can be twofold: the extracellular matrix, for example, is a conductor of mechanical forces but its structure and composition is also influenced by the cellular responses to those same applied or endogenously generated forces.
Mechanosensitive ion channels are found in many cell types and it has been shown that the permeability of these channels to cations is affected by stretch receptors and mechanical stimuli.
G protein-coupled receptors in the plasma membrane of these cells can initiate second messenger pathways that cause cation channels to open.
In response to stimuli, the sensory receptor initiates sensory transduction by creating graded potentials or action potentials in the same cell or in an adjacent one.
Sensitivity to stimuli is obtained by chemical amplification through second messenger pathways in which enzymatic cascades produce large numbers of intermediate products, increasing the effect of one receptor molecule.
Though receptors and stimuli are varied, most extrinsic stimuli first generate localized graded potentials in the neurons associated with the specific sensory organ or tissue.
In the nervous system, internal and external stimuli can elicit two different categories of responses: an excitatory response, normally in the form of an action potential, and an inhibitory response.
When a neuron is stimulated by an excitatory impulse, neuronal dendrites are bound by neurotransmitters which cause the cell to become permeable to a specific type of ion; the type of neurotransmitter determines to which ion the neurotransmitter will become permeable.
This is caused by an excitatory neurotransmitter, normally glutamate binding to a neuron's dendrites, causing an influx of sodium ions through channels located near the binding site.
This change in membrane permeability in the dendrites is known as a local graded potential and causes the membrane voltage to change from a negative resting potential to a more positive voltage, a process known as depolarization.
The opening of sodium channels allows nearby sodium channels to open, allowing the change in permeability to spread from the dendrites to the cell body.
If a graded potential is strong enough, or if several graded potentials occur in a fast enough frequency, the depolarization is able to spread across the cell body to the axon hillock.
From the axon hillock, an action potential can be generated and propagated down the neuron's axon, causing sodium ion channels in the axon to open as the impulse travels.
Once the signal begins to travel down the axon, the membrane potential has already passed threshold, which means that it cannot be stopped.
Groups of sodium channels opened by the change in membrane potential strengthen the signal as it travels away from the axon hillock, allowing it to move the length of the axon.
As the depolarization reaches the end of the axon, or the axon terminal, the end of the neuron becomes permeable to calcium ions, which enters the cell via calcium ion channels.
Calcium causes the release of neurotransmitters stored in synaptic vesicles, which enter the synapse between two neurons known as the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons; if the signal from the presynaptic neuron is excitatory, it will cause the release of an excitatory neurotransmitter, causing a similar response in the postsynaptic neuron.
Effectively, these localized graded potentials trigger action potentials that communicate, in their frequency, along nerve axons eventually arriving in specific cortexes of the brain.
In these also highly specialized parts of the brain, these signals are coordinated with others to possibly trigger a new response.
This response will cause the postsynaptic neuron to become permeable to chloride ions, making the membrane potential of the cell negative; a negative membrane potential makes it more difficult for the cell to fire an action potential and prevents any signal from being passed on through the neuron.
Impulses are passed from the central nervous system down neurons until they reach the motor neuron, which releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) into the neuromuscular junction.
ACh binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the surface of the muscle cell and opens ion channels, allowing sodium ions to flow into the cell and potassium ions to flow out; this ion movement causes a depolarization, which allows for the release of calcium ions within the cell.
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is a large driving force for the release of vasopressin, a hormone which causes the retention of water in the kidneys.
By fluid retention or by consuming fluids, if an individual's blood pressure returns to normal, vasopressin release slows and less fluid is retained by the kidneys.
Epinephrine causes physiological changes in the body, such as constriction of blood vessels, dilation of pupils, increased heart and respiratory rate, and the metabolism of glucose.
All of these responses to a single stimuli aid in protecting the individual, whether the decision is made to stay and fight, or run away and avoid danger.
The digestive system can respond to external stimuli, such as the sight or smell of food, and cause physiological changes before the food ever enters the body.
The sight and smell of food are strong enough stimuli to cause salivation, gastric and pancreatic enzyme secretion, and endocrine secretion in preparation for the incoming nutrients; by starting the digestive process before food reaches the stomach, the body is able to more effectively and efficiently metabolize food into necessary nutrients.
These neurons act as sensory receptors that can detect changes, such as food entering the small intestine, in the digestive tract.
Depending on what these sensory receptors detect, certain enzymes and digestive juices from the pancreas and liver can be secreted to aid in metabolism and breakdown of food.
Positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) permit the noninvasive visualization of activated regions of the brain while the test subject is exposed to different stimuli.
in a recent paper published in the Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery monitored the response of test rats to pain stimuli by inducing an acute, external heat stimulus and measuring hindlimb withdrawal times (HLWT).
It broadcasts on FM on 96.7 (West Kent, Wrotham transmitter), 97.6 (Folkestone area) and 104.2 (East Kent, Swingate transmitter) and DAB.
The station gained its current name when operations expanded to Kent on 2 July 1983 as part of the BBC's policy of operating countywide stations.
Radio Medway was closed down by long serving staff member Rod Lucas, who was also the first voice to be heard on the new BBC Radio Kent.
In July 1986, the studios moved to the nearby Sun Pier, from where it broadcast in stereo for the first time.
In 1994, BBC Radio Kent stopped broadcasting on 1035khz MW due to the frequency being reallocated to a new London-wide commercial radio station.
In 2001, the station moved to The Great Hall in Royal Tunbridge Wells, to combine with new television studios for the BBC South East region covering Kent and Sussex.
From here BBC Radio Kent operates a total of four studios - two for programmes, one for news bulletins, and one network contributions area.
BBC Radio Kent also operated a studio and office in The Wendy House (a building close to the original Sun Pier site in Chatham) although this has since closed, and small contributions studios in Dover and Canterbury.
During off-peak hours, BBC Radio Kent also carries regional programming for the South, South East and East regions, including some of its own weekend output.
The Pic du Midi de Bigorre or simply the Pic du Midi (elevation ) is a mountain in the French Pyrenees.
The Pic du Midi Observatory () is an astronomical observatory located at 2877 meters on top of the Pic du Midi de Bigorre in the French Pyrenees.
It is part of the Midi-Pyrenees Observatory (; OMP) which has additional research stations in the southwestern French towns of Tarbes, Lannemezan, and Auch, as well as many partnerships in South America, Africa, and Asia, due to the guardianship it receives from the French Research Institute for Development (IRD).
Construction of the observatory began in 1878 under the auspices of the Société Ramond, but by 1882 the society decided that the spiralling costs were beyond its relatively modest means, and yielded the observatory to the French state, which took it into its possession by a law of 7 August 1882.
A 1.06-meter (42-inch) telescope was installed in 1963, funded by NASA and was used to take detailed photographs of the surface of the Moon in preparation for the Apollo missions.
In 1965 the astronomers Pierre and Janine Connes were able to formulate a detailed analysis of the composition of the atmospheres on Mars and Venus, based on the infrared spectra gathered from these planets.
This served as a basis for James Lovelock, a scientist working for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, to predict that those planets had no life - a fact that would be proven and scientifically accepted years after.
A 2-meter telescope, known as the Bernard Lyot Telescope was placed at the observatory in 1980 on top of a 28-meter column built off to the side to avoid wind turbulence affecting the seeing of the other telescopes.
Saturn's moon Helene (Saturn XII or Dione B), was discovered by French astronomers Pierre Laques and Jean Lecacheux in 1980 from ground-based observations at Pic du Midi, and named Helene in 1988.
The main-belt asteroid 20488 Pic-du-Midi, discovered at Pises Observatory in 1999, was named for the observatory and the mountain it is located on.
Officially initiated in 2009, during the international year of astronomy, the Pic du Midi International Dark Sky Reserve (IDSR) was labeled in 2013 by the International Dark-Sky Association.
Co-managed by the Syndicat mixte for the tourist promotion of the Pic du Midi, the Pyrénées National Park and the Departmental Energy Union 65, its priority actions are the public education on the impacts and consequences of these pollutions as well as the establishment of responsible lighting in the Haut-Pyrenean territory.
Seasonal lag is extreme during winter and spring, with February being the clearly coldest month, and May having mean temperatures below freezing.
She came to the attention of history when, in 330 BC, Alexander burned down the palace of Persepolis, the principal residence of the defeated Achaemenid dynasty, after a drinking party.
Cleitarchus claims that the destruction was a whim; Plutarch and Diodorus recount that it was intended as retribution for Xerxes' burning of the old Temple of Athena on the Acropolis in Athens (the site of the extant Parthenon) in 480 BC during the Persian Wars.
T. D. Ogden suggests that Ptolemy took her over at some later point, though other writers believe she was always Ptolemy's companion.
Whatever the legal status of their relationship, Thaïs was never portrayed as Ptolemy's queen, nor were her children treated as heirs to his throne.
Ptolemy had other wives, first Eurydice of Egypt, and later Berenice I of Egypt, who became his principal consort and mother of his heir.
Her larger-than-life persona has resulted in characters named Thaïs appearing in several literary works, the most famous of which are listed below.
Dante's Thaïs may or may not be intended to represent the historical courtesan, but the words ascribed to her derive from Cicero's quotations from Terence.
BBC Local Radio is the BBC's local and regional radio service for England and the Channel Islands, consisting of forty stations.
They cover a variety of areas; with some serving a city and surrounding areas, for example BBC Radio Manchester; a county, for example BBC Radio Norfolk; a conurbation, for example BBC WM; or a region, for example BBC Radio Solent.
The stations were launched progressively; starting with BBC Radio Leicester on 8 November 1967, with the last station to launch being the short-lived BBC Dorset FM on 26 April 1993.
Since then, many local radio stations have been merged and renamed but no new stations have been created where no service previously existed as plans to launch stations in unserved areas, most notably in Cheshire, have come to nothing.
The popularity of pirate radio was to challenge a change within the (then) very 'stiff' and blinkered management at the BBC.
The most prominent concession by the BBC was the creation of BBC Radio 1; to satisfy the ever-demanding new youth culture with their thirst for new, popular music.
Initially, stations had to be co-funded by the BBC and local authorities, which only some Labour-controlled areas proved willing to do.
Radio Leicester was the first to launch on 8 November 1967, followed by Leeds, Stoke, Durham, Sheffield, Merseyside, Brighton, and Nottingham.
By the early 1970s, the local authority funding requirement was dropped, and stations spread across the country; many city-based stations later expand their remit to cover an entire county.
When this finally finished, it was deemed so successful that all of the stations, except BBC Radio Durham, remained on air.
In addition to this, more followed in 1970 and 1971; BBC Radio Birmingham, Bristol, Blackburn, Derby, Humberside, London, Manchester, Medway, Newcastle (replacing BBC Radio Durham), Oxford, Solent, and Teesside.
Despite the success of this, the original stations were seen as flawed, as they originally only broadcast on the FM waveband, and not on the more widely available AM waveband.
As a result, many of the BBC Local Radio stations found themselves in direct competition with commercial competitors; who utilised the popular 'DJs' from the pirate radio stations, and who gained in most cases, large audiences.
The radio stations are operated from locations around the country that usually share with the BBC regional news services, and their news gathering bureaux.
The stations are operated by the region in which the station is based, and are responsible to the BBC English Regions department, a division of BBC News.
The remit for each Local Radio station is the same: to offer a primarily speech based service; comprising news and information, complemented by music.
The target audience of BBC Local Radio are listeners aged over 50, who are not served as well as other age groups on the BBC.
Each station produces most of their own programmes, however, some off-peak programming is produced from one station, and covering all stations in the region, some is simulcast with other neighbouring regions, and most of the stations simulcast BBC Radio 5 Live overnight when the local station is off air.
There were also opt-out services covering Milton Keynes (BBC Three Counties Radio), Peterborough and the Fens (BBC Radio Cambridgeshire), Plymouth (BBC Radio Devon), and Swindon (BBC Wiltshire); but these ceased in 2012 due to cutbacks as part of the BBC's 'Delivering Quality First' programme.
Between October 2009 and April 2012, a generic jingle package produced by Mcasso Music Production was gradually rolled out across the network, and is now in use by all BBC Local Radio stations.
In January 2020, BBC Radio Leicester launched a brand new custom made jingle package by Reelworld, based in Media City UK, Manchester.
Descriptions of the characters, created by the BBC, were given to all their local radio presenters as representative target listeners during the 2000s.
At the 2005 Frank Gillard Awards for BBC Local Radio, the corporation hired two actors to represent the fictional couple, and award a prize to the 'Receptionist of the Year'.
It had no horizontal tail surfaces, depending instead on combined elevator and aileron control surfaces (called elevons) for control in pitch and roll attitudes, almost exactly in the manner of the similar-format, rocket-powered Messerschmitt Me 163 of Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe.
Some aerodynamicists had proposed that eliminating the horizontal tail would also do away with stability problems at fast speeds (called shock stall) resulting from the interaction of supersonic shock waves from the wings and the horizontal stabilizers.
Two X-4s were built by the Northrop Corporation, but the first was found to be mechanically unsound and after ten flights it was grounded and used to provide parts for the second.
While being tested from 1950 to 1953 at the NACA High-Speed Flight Research Station (now Edwards Air Force Base), the X-4's semi-tailless configuration exhibited inherent longitudinal stability problems (porpoising) as it approached the speed of sound.
It was believed in the 1940s that a design without horizontal stabilizers would avoid the interaction of shock waves between the wing and stabilizers.
The United States Army Air Forces signed a contract with the Northrop Aircraft Company on 11 June 1946, to build two X-4s.
The resulting aircraft was very compact, only large enough to hold two Westinghouse J30 jet engines, a pilot, instrumentation, and a 45-minute fuel supply.
It underwent taxi tests and made its first flight on December 15, 1948, with Northrop test pilot Charles Tucker at the controls.
Despite this, the contractor flight program dragged on until February 1950, before both aircraft were turned over to the Air Force and the NACA.
The initial NACA X-4 flights, which continued from late 1950 through May of 1951, focused on the aircraft's sensitivity to pitch.
NACA pilots Griffith and Scott Crossfield noted that as the X-4's speed approached Mach 0.88, it began a pitch oscillation of increasing severity, which was likened to driving on a washboard road.
This combined yaw, pitch and roll, which grew more severe as the speed increased, was a precursor to the inertial coupling which would become a major challenge in the years to come.
The results were positive, with Jones commenting that the X-4's flight qualities had been greatly improved, and the aircraft did not have pitch control problems up to a speed of Mach 0.92.
The tests continued through October 1951, until wing tank fuel leaks forced the aircraft to be grounded until March 1952, when the landing tests resumed.
The thickened flap/speed brake tests had been encouraging, so balsa wood strips were reinstalled on both the flap/speed brake and the elevons.
The first flight was made by Jones on 19 May 1952, but one of the engines was damaged during the flight, and it was August before a replacement J30 could be found.
When the flights resumed, they showed that the modifications had improved stability in both pitch and yaw, and delayed the nosedown trim changes from Mach 0.74 to Mach 0.91.
In May 1953, the balsa wood strips were again removed, and the X-4's dynamic stability was studied in the original flap/speed brake and elevon configuration.
The first X-4, AF serial number 46-676, was transferred to the United States Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colorado, before being returned to Edwards Air Force Base.
46-676 has been restored as of August 2012, and is currently being held in storage pending placement in the Edwards Museum.
The second X-4 went to the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, where it remains on display.
The X-4's primary importance involved proving a negative, in that a swept-wing semi-tailless design was not suitable for speeds near Mach 1, although the F7U Cutlass proved to be something of a counterexample—the developed version was the first aircraft to demonstrate stores separation above Mach 1.
Semi-tailless designs appeared on the X-36, Have Blue, F-117, and Bird of Prey, although these aircraft all differed significantly in shape from the X-4.
The trend during its test program was already towards delta and modified delta aircraft such as the Douglas F4D, the Convair F-102A derived from the XF-92A, and the Avro Vulcan.
The species does not occur in Africa and it was suggested that the specimen had been obtained on the Indonesian island of Java.
At the place of today's Strachocina once there were as much as four villages at the same time: Strachocina, Strachocina Wola, Szwanczyce and Meszewa.
Local tradition has it that there lived three kinds of people in the village: serfs (persons in a condition of feudal servitude, required to render services to a lord and attached to the lord's land), tenants of the estate, and szlachta zaściankowa (village noblemen).
Today they show in the local church an old baptismal basin made of stone and are assert that it was used to baptize the future saint.
At the border of the village there is a parish church of St. Catharina from the turn of 19th and 20th centuries.
Near it one can find a monument of the Saint Andrew, 600-year-old oaks, a St. Maximilian cloister for nuns, and a newly built pilgrim's hostel.
In the woods of Strachocina there is a natural gas reservoir and drilling area which is now used for the underground storage of natural gas from Russia.
It concludes that, without concerted action, there could be up to 325 million extremely poor people living in the 49 countries most exposed to the full range of natural hazards and climate extremes in 2040.
It broadcast from its studios in Brighton and Guildford on FM, AM and on DAB on the NOW Sussex Coast multiplex.
BBC Radio Sussex had originally been founded on 14 February 1968 as BBC Radio Brighton, broadcasting from studios in Marlborough Place.
Once planned as a stand-alone radio station, it eventually launched on 14 November 1991 as a limited opt-out service of BBC Radio Sussex, broadcasting from newly built studios on the campus of the University of Surrey in Guildford.
The two stations were merged in January 1994 and moved into the Guildford studios; a bone of contention for many Brighton residents who felt they were being deprived of the local station they had enjoyed since 1968 (their campaign to bring the station back to Brighton was to succeed twelve years later).
Initially called BBC Radio Sussex and Surrey, the station relaunched with the name BBC Southern Counties Radio on 1 August 1994.
It became the first BBC Local Radio station to adopt an all-speech format, with the broadcast slogan 'all talk all the time'.
Presenters included Gordon Astley, Tommy Boyd, Peter Heaton-Jones, Al Clarke, Alison Taylor and Eric Dixon; however there were to be numerous presenter and schedule changes over the next three years.
The next revamp occurred on 1 September 1997, when the station reverted to a more traditional mix of talk and music, and introduced new presenters such as Chris Ashley, John Radford Giles Dilnot, Bill Buckley and Simon Bates, who presented the Sunday morning show.
Further changes followed, including the departure in 2005 of Brighton Breakfast Show presenter JoAnne Good who left to work at BBC London 94.9 and was replaced by Sarah Gorrell.
Four of the presenters, Bill Buckley, John Radford, Ed Douglas and Dominic Busby left the station shortly before the relaunch of 2006.
Three presenters were recruited and started broadcasting on the station on 3 April 2006, the day of the relaunch: Gordon Astley was taken on to present daily shows, just as he had done in the 1990s; Fred Marden was recruited to present the Surrey breakfast show; and one-time Radio Sussex sports reporter Richard Lindfield also rejoined.
Increasingly, in recent years, BBC Southern Counties Radio worked to provide extensive and interactive coverage of the Brighton Festival and Fringe.
Aside from dedicating a daily hour-long show to Brighton's Festivals, it also provided in-depth internet coverage, including reviews, features and video clips.
From September 1997 there were separate news services for Sussex and Surrey, and separate breakfast shows for both counties, using a split frequency system.
A one-hour Drivetime programme and Saturday breakfast show for Surrey were introduced at this point - however the Surrey output was now only available to listeners in the west of the county, on 104.6 FM.
The 104.0 FM frequency, which covers parts of both East Surrey and the north of West Sussex and previously carried the Surrey programming, was switched to carry the Sussex output.
The reasoning behind this was to give listeners in Crawley and East Grinstead a more relevant service, at the expense of those in East Surrey where audience figures have been in decline, but from 16 October 2006, 104.0 FM reverted to the Surrey output.
There were also separate sports shows on Saturday afternoon, allowing listeners in north-east Hampshire and Surrey can listen to live commentaries from the local Conference teams, Aldershot Town, Woking and Crawley Town, whilst listeners in Sussex can listen to Brighton's games.
On Wednesday 26 April 2006, Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond presented the Drivetime show from the Brighton studio.
Evening programming throughout the week was networked with counterpart BBC Local Radio stations in the South and South East (namely Radio Solent, Radio Berkshire, Radio Oxford and Radio Kent).
This allows for faster reflex actions to occur by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain.
The brain will receive the sensory input while the reflex is being carried out and the analysis of the signal takes place after the reflex action.
Autonomic reflexes sometimes involve the spinal cord and some somatic reflexes are mediated more by the brain than the spinal cord.
When a reflex arc in an animal consists of only one sensory neuron and one motor neuron, it is defined as monosynaptic, referring to the presence of a single chemical synapse.
In the case of peripheral muscle reflexes (patellar reflex, achilles reflex), brief stimulation to the muscle spindle results in contraction of the agonist or effector muscle.
When the patellar tendon is tapped just below the knee, the tap initiates an action potential in a specialized structure known as a muscle spindle located within the quadriceps.
The result of this motor nerve activity is contraction of the quadriceps muscle, leading to extension of the lower leg at the knee (i.e.
The sensory input from the quadriceps also activates local interneurons that release the inhibitory neurotransmitter glycine onto motor neurons of antagonist muscles, blocking their stimulation (in this case the hamstring muscles).
In lower animals reflex interneurons do not necessarily reside in the spinal cord, for example as in the lateral giant neuron of crayfish.
GLV-10 in Traralgon was the first regional television station to launch in Australia, on 9 December 1961, originally covering the Gippsland and Latrobe Valley areas.
The original transmission equipment consisted of a 10 kW and 2 kW transmitter (standby) which was based on the RCA product and adapted to 230 V 50 Hz by AWA.
BCV-8 first went to air two weeks later, on 23 December 1961 (the same day as the launch of GMV-6 Shepparton), serving Bendigo and Central Victoria.
Since the station had no video recording equipment, engineers were forced to rely on picking up the original signal at the transmitter site to relay back to the studio.
As the sole commercial television station in the region, GLV's program lineup included local output such as news and children's programs, combined with programs selected from Melbourne's commercial stations - the Nine Network (GTV-9), Seven Network (HSV-7), and from 1964, Network Ten (ATV-0).
On 20 January 1980, GLV-10 changed frequency from VHF channel 10 to 8, to allow neighbouring Melbourne television station ATV-0 to move to the channel 10 frequency to eliminate interference problems on VHF-0.
When aggregation in regional Victoria took place between 1992 and 1993, the Southern Cross Network expanded to Shepparton, Ballarat and Albury as an affiliate of Network Ten.
On 30 November 2000, GLV-8 moved again to UHF channel 37, in order to allow another Melbourne station, this time GTV-9 to commence digital television transmissions on Channel 8 without interference.
On 1 July 2016, Southern Cross switched its primary affiliation from Network Ten to the Nine Network in Queensland, Southern NSW, ACT, South Australia and Victoria.
In April 1987, the Melbourne-based news became sourced from GTV-9 as HSV-7 had changed its news format to a one-hour bulletin.
Local news was reintroduced to the station in 2004 in the form of three-minute updates at various times of the day.
The new SC9 serves as the Nine News regional broadcaster to regional Victoria viewers, with the state and local level news provided by GTV-9 in Melbourne.
Radio Berkshire broadcasts on 94.6 (Henley-on-Thames), 95.4 (Windsor), 104.1 (Hannington) and 104.4 (Reading) FM from its studios at Thames Valley Park near Reading.
The station is also available on DAB, Freeview, and through live streaming on the internet, also on demand for thirty days after broadcast through the BBC iPlayer.
The station began on 21 January 1992, starting as a sister station of Radio Oxford, broadcasting for part of the weekday and weekend mornings.
Due to financial cutbacks, BBC Director-General John Birt announced that it was to merge with BBC Radio Oxford on 9 April 1996 to become BBC Thames Valley FM.
BBC Radio Berkshire was named Station of the Year in the 2012 Frank Gillard Awards, also winning in the Sports Coverage category for its coverage of olympic rowing at Eton Dorney.
In the 2013 Sony Radio Academy Awards the Andrew Peach programme won bronze in the category Breakfast Show of the Year (under 10 million).
Since 31 July 2004, DAB broadcasts have come from the NOW Digital Berkshire & North Hampshire 12D multiplex from Coppid Beech (at the junction of the B3408 and A329(M) in west Bracknell), Hannington and Hemdean (just north of Caversham).
The majority of the station's programmes are produced and broadcast from their state of the art studios in Thames Valley Park, Reading.
The studios were especially designed for BBC Berkshire following the sale of Caversham Park House, which was their location for many years.
During off-peak hours, BBC Radio Berkshire also carries regional programmes for the South and South East regions, produced from sister stations BBC Radio Solent, BBC Radio Kent and BBC Radio Oxford.
Instead of selling by going door-to-door, they set up a store where buyers could purchase goods on the spot with cash.
Mitsukoshi was unlisted on March 26, 2008, and on April 1, it merged with Isetan under a joint holding company called Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings Ltd. ().
In April 5, 2019, Mitsukoshi announced that it would further expand its Asian presence by having a Filipino branch established by 2021 at Bonifacio Global Center.
The first Mitsukoshi in Hong Kong, covering 12000 sq meters on 4 levels, opened at 500 Hennessy Road, Causeway Bay on 26 August 1981.
After the liberation of Korea and the defeat of Japan in 1945, Samsung took over this store and renamed it Shinsegae (신세계; Shinsegae; lit.
Transduction in the nervous system typically refers to stimulus-alerting events wherein a physical stimulus is converted into an action potential, which is transmitted along axons towards the central nervous system for integration.
Receptors are broadly split into two main categories: exteroceptors, which receive external sensory stimuli, and interoceptors, which receive internal sensory stimuli.
In the visual system, sensory cells called rod and cone cells in the retina convert the physical energy of light signals into electrical impulses that travel to the brain.
This conformational change sets in motion a series of molecular events that result in a reduction of the electrochemical gradient of the photoreceptor.
Thus, in this example, more light hitting the photoreceptor results in the transduction of a signal into fewer electrical impulses, effectively communicating that stimulus to the brain.
Because of the change, a change in light intensity causes the response of the rods to be much slower than expected (for a process associated with the nervous system).
Within the cochlea, the hair cells on the sensory epithelium of the organ of Corti bend and cause movement of the basilar membrane.
Hair cells are then able to convert this movement (mechanical energy) into electrical signals (graded receptor potentials) which travel along auditory nerves to hearing centres in the brain.
In the gustatory system, perception of five primary taste qualities (sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami [savoriness] ) depends on taste transduction pathways, through taste receptor cells, G proteins, ion channels, and effector enzymes.
In the somatosensory system the sensory transduction mainly involves the conversion of the mechanical signal such as pressure, skin compression, stretch, vibration to electro-ionic impulses through the process of mechanotransduction.

He was a member of the Tibet Song-and-Dance Ensemble, but began to gain a following in Lhasa from singing in karaoke and nangma bars.
He assimilated much of the style of 1980s Chinese language pop into his singing and the synthesised orchestral accompaniments of his songs.
He was clearly a product of the new media rather than traditional Tibetan singing, using a soft crooning voice rather than the loud, projecting voice of traditional Tibetan singing, yet the melodies of the songs he sang inherited a strong Tibetan character, with their wide vocal range and long phrases.
Some of Jampa Tsering's songs were restricted in Lhasa in the late 1980s and early 1990s due to their political nature.

Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt (born Maria Mercedes Morgan; 23 August 1904 13 February 1965) was a Swiss-born American socialite best known as the mother of fashion designer and artist Gloria Vanderbilt and maternal grandmother of television journalist Anderson Cooper.
Born at the Grand Hotel National in Lucerne, Switzerland, as Maria Mercedes Morgan, she was a daughter of Henry Hays Morgan, Sr. (1860–1933), an American diplomat, who served as U.S. consul general in Buenos Aires, Argentina; Berlin, Germany; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Havana, Cuba; and Brussels, Belgium.
Her mother was his second wife, the former Laura Delphine Kilpatrick (1877–1956); the couple was married in 1894 and divorced in 1927.
Her maternal grandfather, Hugh Judson Kilpatrick (1836–1881), was a Union Army general during the American Civil War, who also served as the U.S. minister to Chile.
Her maternal grandmother, Luisa Kilpatrick, née Valdivieso Araoz, was a member of a wealthy Chilean family that had emigrated from Spain in the 17th century.
Gloria Morgan was educated by governesses and in convents in Europe as well as New York City, where she attended the Catholic Convent of the Sacred Heart (in the Manhattanville section of the city), the Skerton Finishing School, and Miss Nightingale's School.
In October 1921, with their father's permission, Morgan and her sister Thelma, both reportedly 16 years of age, ended their schooling and moved by themselves into an apartment at 40 Fifth Avenue, a private townhouse.
On 6 March 1923, in New York City, at the townhouse of friends, Gloria Morgan—then believed to be 19 years of age and having received the legal consent of her father to wed—became the second wife of Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt, age 42, an heir to the Vanderbilt railroad fortune.
Following his death, his young widow became the administrator of a $2.5 million trust left to their daughter, Gloria, and spent the better part of the next six years living in Paris, Biarritz, and London, with her mother and child and often in the company of her sisters and brother, all of whom lived in France and England with their respective spouses.
The conditions of Vanderbilt's will and the custody of their child, however, were complicated by the general belief that his widow had not reached the legal age of majority, which meant that she herself required a guardian.
Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt believed that she was 20, rather than 21, because her mother had long declared the twins' birth year as 1905 rather than 1904.
The discrepancy was discovered upon an examination of the Morgan twins' childhood passports and their birth certificates during the Vanderbilt custody trial in 1934.
Influenced by reports from private detectives as well as family servants and Laura Morgan (who appears by all published accounts to have been somewhat emotionally and mentally unbalanced and who testified on Mrs. Whitney's side at the trial), members of the Vanderbilt family came to believe that Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt was a bad influence and neglectful of her daughter.
As a result of a great deal of hearsay evidence admitted at trial, the scandalous allegations of Vanderbilt's lifestyle—including a purported lesbian relationship with Nadezhda de Torby, the Marchioness of Milford Haven, and a brief engagement to Gottfried, Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg—led to a new standard in tabloid newspaper sensationalism.
The court also removed Vanderbilt as administrator of her daughter's trust fund, whose annual investment income had been her only source of support.
In 1946, the widow was once more in the news when her daughter announced she would no longer be paying her mother an annual $21,000 allowance.
Saying that her mother was able to work and had done so in the past, Gloria Vanderbilt stated the annual allowance would now be given to a charity for blind and starving children.
From the 1940s until their deaths, Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt and her sister Thelma, Lady Furness, lived together in New York City and in Los Angeles, California.
It has also been introduced to New Zealand, Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, the Bahamas, the Lesser Antilles, and some countries in Europe, such as the Czech Republic, Finland, Romania, Serbia, Germany, and France.
In North America, the species is widely distributed east of the Rocky Mountains as well as in southwestern Arizona and most of Mexico, aside from Lower California.
The conversion of land adjacent to the Canadian Rockies into agriculture use and partial clear-cutting of coniferous trees (resulting in widespread deciduous vegetation) has been favorable to the white-tailed deer and has pushed its distribution to as far north as Yukon.
Populations of deer around the Great Lakes have also expanded their range northwards, due to conversion of land to agricultural uses favoring more deciduous vegetation, and local caribou and moose populations.
The westernmost population of the species, known as the Columbian white-tailed deer, once was widespread in the mixed forests along the Willamette and Cowlitz River valleys of western Oregon and southwestern Washington, but today its numbers have been considerably reduced, and it is classified as near-threatened.
Genetic studies, however, suggest fewer subspecies within the animal's range, as compared to the 30 to 40 subspecies that some scientists have described in the last century.
Several local deer populations, especially in the southern states, are descended from white-tailed deer transplanted from various localities east of the Continental Divide.
Some of these deer populations may have been from as far north as the Great Lakes region to as far west as Texas, yet are also quite at home in the Appalachian and Piedmont regions of the south.
Central and South America have a complex number of white-tailed deer subspecies that range from Guatemala to as far south as Peru.
This list of subspecies of deer is more exhaustive than the list of North American subspecies, and the number of subspecies is also questionable.
However, the white-tailed deer populations in these areas are difficult to study, due to overhunting in many parts and a lack of protection.
The deer's coat is a reddish-brown in the spring and summer and turns to a grey-brown throughout the fall and winter.
A population of white-tailed deer in New York is entirely white (except for areas like their noses and toes)—not albino—in color.
An indication of a deer age is the length of the snout and the color of the coat, with older deer tending to have longer snouts and grayer coats.
The white-tailed deer is highly variable in size, generally following Bergmann's rule that the average size is larger farther away from the Equator.
North American male deer (also known as a buck) usually weigh , but mature bucks over have been recorded in the northernmost reaches of their native range, specifically, Minnesota and Ontario.
In 1926, Carl J. Lenander, Jr., took a white-tailed buck near Tofte, MN, that weighed after it was field-dressed (internal organs and blood removed) and was estimated at when alive.
White-tailed deer from the tropics and the Florida Keys are markedly smaller-bodied than temperate populations, averaging , with an occasional adult female as small as .
White-tailed deer from the Andes are larger than other tropical deer of this species, and have thick, slightly woolly looking fur.
This makes it very convenient to use deer-hunter orange as a safety color on caps and clothing to avoid accidental shootings during hunting seasons.
The number of points, the length, or thickness of the antlers is not a general indication of age because antler growth is dependent on the diet of the deer, particularly protein intake.
Some say spiked-antler deer should be culled from the population to produce larger branching antler genetics (antler size does not indicate overall health), and some bucks' antlers never will be wall trophies.
They can have bony protrusions up to a half inch in length, but that is very rare, and they are not the same as spikes.
The Boone and Crockett or Pope and Young scoring systems also define relative degrees of typicality and atypicality by procedures to measure what proportion of the antlers is asymmetrical.
Although most often thought of as forest animals depending on relatively small openings and edges, white-tailed deer can equally adapt themselves to life in more open prairie, savanna woodlands, and sage communities as in the Southwestern United States and northern Mexico.
White-tailed deer may occur in areas that are also exploited by elk (wapiti) such as in mixed deciduous river valley bottomlands and formerly in the mixed deciduous forest of eastern United States.
In places such as Glacier National Park in Montana and several national parks in the Columbian Mountains (Mount Revelstoke National Park) and Canadian Rocky Mountains, as well as in the Yukon Territory (Yoho National Park and Kootenay National Park), white-tailed deer are shy and more reclusive than the coexisting mule deer, elk, and moose.
Central American white-tailed deer prefer tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, seasonal mixed deciduous forests, savanna, and adjacent wetland habitats over dense tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests.
The first type, similar to the Central American deer, consists of savannas, dry deciduous forests, and riparian corridors that cover much of Venezuela and eastern Colombia.
The Andean white-tailed deer seem to retain gray coats due to the colder weather at high altitudes, whereas the lowland savanna forms retain the reddish brown coats.
The introduction was successful, and the deer have recently begun spreading through northern Scandinavia and southern Karelia, competing with, and sometimes displacing, native species.
White-tailed deer eat large amounts of food, commonly eating legumes and foraging on other plants, including shoots, leaves, cacti (in deserts), prairie forbs, and grasses.
Though almost entirely herbivorous, white-tailed deer have been known to opportunistically feed on nesting songbirds, field mice, and birds trapped in mist nets, if the need arises.
Each chamber has a different and specific function that allows the deer to eat a variety of different foods, digesting it at a later time in a safe area of cover.
There are several natural predators of white-tailed deer with wolves (Gray, Eastern and Red species), cougars, American alligators, jaguars (in the American southwest, Mexico, and Central and South America) and humans being the most effective natural predators.
Aside from humans, these predators frequently pick out easily caught young or infirm deer (which is believed to improve the genetic stock of a population), but can and do take healthy adults of any size.
Bears may sometimes attack adult deer, while lynxes, coyotes, and wolverines are most likely to take adult deer when the ungulates are weakened by harsh winter weather.
Records exist of American crows attempting to prey on white-tailed deer fawns by pecking around their face and eyes, though no accounts of success are given.
Most natural predators of white-tailed deer hunt by ambush, although canids may engage in an extended chase, hoping to exhaust the prey.
Cougars and jaguars will initially knock the deer off balance with their powerful forelegs, whereas the smaller bobcats and lynxes will jump astride the deer to deliver a killing bite.
In the case of canids and wolverines, the predators bite at the limbs and flanks, hobbling the deer, until they can reach vital organs and kill it through loss of blood.
Bears, which usually target fawns, often simply knock down the prey and then start eating it while it is still alive.
Alligators snatch deer as they try to drink from or cross bodies of water, grabbing them with their powerful jaws and dragging them into the water to drown.
Most primary natural predators of white-tailed deer have been basically extirpated in eastern North America, with a very small number of reintroduced red wolves, which are nearly extinct, around North Carolina and a small remnant population of Florida panthers, a subspecies of the cougar.
Gray wolves, the leading cause of deer mortality where they overlap, co-occur with whitetails in northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and parts of Canada.
Coyotes, widespread and with a rapidly expanding population, are often the only major nonhuman predator of the species, besides an occasional domestic dog.
Discussions have occurred regarding the possible reintroduction of gray wolves and cougars to sections of the eastern United States, largely because of the apparent controlling effect they have through deer predation on local ecosystems, as has been illustrated in the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park and their controlling effect on previously overpopulated elk.
However, due to the heavy urban development in much of the East and fear for livestock and human lives, such ideas have ultimately been rejected by local communities and/or by government services and have not been carried through.
In areas where they are heavily hunted by humans, deer run almost immediately from people and are quite wary even where not heavily hunted.
In most areas where hunting may occur deer seem to develop an acute sense of time and a fondness for metro parks and golf courses.
This rather odd occurrence is best noted in Michigan, where in the lower peninsula around late August early September they begin to move out of less developed areas in favor of living near human settlements.
The deer of Virginia can run faster than their predators and have been recorded at speeds of per hour; this ranks them amongst the fastest of all cervids, alongside the Eurasian roe deer.
If the deer feels extremely threatened, however, it may charge the person or predator causing the threat, using its antlers or, if none are present, its head to fight off the threat.
In certain parts of eastern North America, high deer densities have caused large reductions in plant biomass, including the density and heights of certain forest wildflowers, tree seedlings, and shrubs.
Changes to the structure of forest understories have, in turn, altered the composition and abundance of forest bird communities in some areas.
Deer activity has also been shown to increase herbaceous plant diversity, particularly in disturbed areas, by reducing competitively dominant plants; and to increase the growth rates of important canopy trees, perhaps by increased nutrient inputs into the soil.
The shade-tolerant trees prevent the invasion of less commercial cherry and American beech, which are stronger nutrient competitors, but not as shade tolerant.
Although deer eat shade-tolerant plants and acorns, this is not the only way deer can shift the balance in favor of nutrient competitors.
Since slow-growing oaks need several decades to develop root systems sufficient to compete with faster-growing species, removal of the canopy prior to that point amplifies the effect of deer on succession.
High-density deer populations possibly could browse eastern hemlock seedlings out of existence in northern hardwood forests; however, this scenario seems unlikely, given that deer browsing is not considered the critical factor preventing hemlock re-establishment at large scales.
In a study of eastern hemlock forests, browsing by white-tailed deer caused populations of three exotic plants to rise faster than they do in the areas which are absent of deer.
Seedlings of the three invading species rose exponentially with deer density, while the most common native species fell exponentially with deer density, because deer were preferentially eating the native species.
Several methods have been developed in attempts to curb the population of white-tailed deer, and these can be separated into lethal and nonlethal strategies.
Most common in the U.S is the use of extended hunting as population control, as well as a way to provide natural meat for humans.
In Maryland and many other states, a state agency sets regulations on bag limits and hunting in the area depending on the deer population levels assessed.
Hunting seasons may fluctuate in duration, or restrictions may be set to affect how many deer or what type of deer can be hunted in certain regions.
These would include young bucks and females, encouraging the culling of does which would otherwise contribute to increasing populations via offspring production.
More refined than public hunting is a method referred to as sharpshooting by the Deer Task Force in the city of Bloomington, Indiana.
This strategy may work in areas close to human populations, since it is done by professional marksmen, and requires a submitted plan of action to the city with details on the time and location of the event, as well as number of deer to be culled.
Another controversial method involves trapping the deer in a net or other trap, and then administering a chemical euthanizing agent or extermination by firearm.
A main issue in questioning the humaneness of this method is the stress that the deer endure while trapped and awaiting extermination.
While lethal methods have municipal support as being the most effective in the short term, some opponents to this view suggest no significant impacts of deer extermination on the populations occur.
Opponents of contraceptive methods point out that fertility control cannot provide meat and proves ineffective over time as populations in open-field systems move about.
Fertility control also does nothing to affect the current population and the effects their grazing may be having on the forest plant make-up.
Another concern in using this method is the possible spread of chronic wasting disease found in the deer family and the lack of research on its effect on human populations.
This means that 1 out of every 162 drivers in the US had a collision with a large deer related animal.
Because of the decline in numbers of natural predators such as wolves, cougars, bear, bobcat, and coyotes, and the ever rising opposition of anti-hunting groups, whitetail deer have not only become a nuisance, but they have become destructive and dangerous.
The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) reported that the estimated loss in field crops, nuts, fruits, and vegetables in 2001 was near $765 million.
Whitetail deer seasons and the hunting industry provides over $500 million worth of revenue per year in the state of Tennessee alone.
Bucks attempt to copulate with as many females as possible, losing physical condition, since they rarely eat or rest during the rut.
Any time the temperature rises above , the males do much less traveling looking for females, else they will be subject to overheating or dehydrating.
Females enter estrus, colloquially called the rut, in the autumn, normally in late October or early November, triggered mainly by the declining photoperiod.
Some does may be as young as six months when they reach sexual maturity, but the average age of maturity is 18 months.
Females give birth to one to three spotted young, known as fawns, in mid- to late spring, generally in May or June.
Fawns lose their spots during the first summer and weigh from 44 to 77 lb (20 to 35 kg) by the first winter.
For the first four weeks, fawns are hidden in vegetation by their mothers, who nurse them four to five times a day.
They are usually weaned after 8–10 weeks, but cases have been seen where mothers have continued to allow nursing long after the fawns have lost their spots (for several months, or until the end of fall) as seen by rehabilitators and other studies.
In addition to the aforementioned blowing in the presence of danger, all white-tailed deer are capable of producing audible noises unique to each animal.
This bleat deepens as the fawn grows until it becomes the grunt of the mature deer, a guttural sound that attracts the attention of any other deer in the area.
White-tailed deer possess many glands that allow them to produce scents, some of which are so potent they can be detected by the human nose.
Secretions from the preorbital glands (in front of the eye) were thought to be rubbed on tree branches, but research suggests this is not so.
The scent from the metatarsal glands, found on the outside of each hind leg, between the ankle and hooves, may be used as an alarm scent.
The scent from the interdigital glands, which are located between the hooves of each foot, emit a yellow waxy substance with an offensive odor.
Deer can be seen stomping their hooves if they sense danger through sight, sound, or smell; this action leaves an excessive amount of odor for the purpose of warning other deer of possible danger.
Throughout the year, deer rub-urinate, a process during which a deer squats while urinating so urine will run down the insides of the deer's legs, over the tarsal glands, and onto the hair covering these glands.
During the breeding season, does release hormones and pheromones that tell bucks a doe is in heat and able to breed.
Bucks also rub trees and shrubs with their antlers and heads during the breeding season, possibly transferring scent from the forehead glands to the tree, leaving a scent other deer can detect.
To make a rub, a buck uses his antlers to strip the bark off small-diameter trees, helping to mark his territory and polish his antlers.
Often occurring in patterns known as scrape lines, scrapes are areas where a buck has used his front hooves to expose bare earth.
They often rub-urinate into these scrapes, which are often found under twigs that have been marked with scent from the forehead glands.
After an outcry by hunters and other conservation ecologists, commercial exploitation of deer became illegal and conservation programs along with regulated hunting were introduced.
Conservation practices have proved so successful, in parts of their range, the white-tailed deer populations currently far exceed their cultural carrying capacity and the animal may be considered a nuisance.
Timber harvesting and forest clearance have historically resulted in increased deer population densities, which in turn have slowed the rate of reforestation following logging in some areas.
High densities of deer can have severe impacts on native plants and animals in parks and natural areas; however, deer browsing can also promote plant and animal diversity in some areas.
Deer can also cause substantial damage to landscape plants in suburban areas, leading to limited hunting or trapping to relocate or sterilize them.
In parts of the Eastern US with high deer populations and fragmented woodlands, deer often wander into suburban and urban habitats that are less than ideal for the species.
Venison, or deer meat, is a natural and nutritious form of animal protein that can be obtained through responsible and regulated deer hunting.
In some areas where their populations are very high, they are considered a pest, and hunting is used as a method to control it.
In New Zealand, America, and Canada, white-tailed deer are kept as livestock, and are extensively as well as intensively farmed for their meat, antlers, and pelts.
Motor vehicle collisions with deer are a serious problem in many parts of the animal's range, especially at night and during rutting season, causing injuries and fatalities among both deer and humans.
By 2009, the insurance industry estimated 2.4 million deer–vehicle collisions had occurred over the past two years, estimating damage cost to be over 7 billion dollars and 300 human deaths.
Vehicle collisions of deer were monitored for two years in Virginia, and the collective annual mortality did not surpass 20% of the estimated deer population.
Fences or road under- or over- passes have been shown to decrease deer-vehicle collisions, but are expensive and difficult to implement on a large scale.
An essential procedure in understanding factors resulting in accidents is to quantify risks, which involves the driver's behavior in terms of and ability to observe the deer.
They suggest reducing speed limits during the winter months when deer density is exceptionally high would likely reduce deer-vehicle collisions, but this may be an impractical solution.
Increased deer populations lead to increased transmission of tick-borne diseases, which pose a threat to human health, to livestock, and to other deer.
Furthermore, the incidence of Lyme disease seems to reflect deer density in the eastern United States, which suggests a strong correlation.
White-tailed deer also serve as intermediate hosts for many diseases that infect humans through ticks, such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
In the U.S., the species is the state animal of Arkansas, Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina, the wildlife symbol of Wisconsin, and game animal of Oklahoma.
The profile of a white-tailed deer buck caps the coat of arms of Vermont and can be seen in the flag of Vermont and in stained glass at the Vermont State House.
Texas is home to the most white-tailed deer of any U.S. state or Canadian province, with an estimated population of over four million.
Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, Illinois, Wisconsin, Maryland, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana also boast high deer densities.
In 1884, one of the first hunts of white-tailed deer in Europe was conducted in Opočno and Dobříš (Brdy Mountains area), in what is now the Czech Republic.
Consequently, as climate change warms up the Earth, these deer are allowed to migrate further north which will result in the populations of the white-tailed deer increasing.
Between 1980 and 2000 in a study by Dawe and Boutin, presence of white-tailed deer in Alberta, Canada was driven primarily by changes in the climate.
Another study by Kennedy-Slaney, Bowman, Walpole, and Pond found that if our CO2 emissions remained the same, global warming resulting from the increased greenhouse gases in our atmosphere will allow white-tailed deer to survive further and further north by 2100.
This butterfly effect was also demonstrated in Yellowstone National Park when the rivers changed because wolves were re-introduced to the ecosystem.
It is also possible that the increasing white-tailed deer populations could result in them becoming an invasive species for various plants in Alberta, Canada.
However, as time goes on, they will be able to live longer than they used to meaning the deer are at higher risk of getting sick.
In computer programming, program slicing is the computation of the set of program statements, the program slice, that may affect the values at some point of interest, referred to as a slicing criterion.
Based on the original definition of Weiser, informally, a static program slice S consists of all statements in program P that may affect the value of variable v in a statement x.
The slice is defined for a slicing criterion C=(x,v) where x is a statement in program P and v is variable in x.
A static slice includes all the statements that can affect the value of variable v at statement x for any possible input.
More specifically, to compute the static slice for (x,v), we first find all statements that can directly affect the value of v before statement x is encountered.
Recursively, for each statement y which can affect the value of v in statement x, we compute the slices for all variables z in y that affect the value of v. The union of all those slices is the static slice for (x,v).
When we union all of those statements, we do not have executable code, so to make the slice an executable slice we merely add the end brace for the for loop and the declaration of i.
If V is a set of variables in a statement x, then the slice for (x, V) is the union of all slices with criteria (x, v) where v is a variable in the set V.
Developers will have a very low cost and practical means to estimate the impact of a change within minutes versus days.
This is very important for planning the implementation of new features and understanding how a change is related to other parts of the system.
A fast slicing approach will open up new avenues of research in metrics and the mining of histories based on slicing.
That is, slicing can now be conducted on very large systems and on entire version histories in very practical time frames.
A dynamic slice contains all statements that actually affect the value of a variable at a program point for a particular execution of the program rather than all statements that may have affected the value of a variable at a program point for any arbitrary execution of the program.
In the case of static slicing, since the whole program unit is looked at irrespective of a particular execution of the program, the affected statements in both blocks would be included in the slice.
But, in the case of dynamic slicing we consider a particular execution of the program, wherein the codice_5 block gets executed and the affected statements in the codice_6 block do not get executed.
So, that is why in this particular execution case, the dynamic slice would contain only the statements in the codice_5 block.
The scope is quite broad, including prominent candidates for local and central government office as well as those who achieved such office.
Radek Bonk (born 9 January 1976) is a former Czech professional ice hockey player who most recently played for Oceláři Třinec of the Czech Extraliga.
Bonk was born in Czechoslovakia and began his hockey career playing for Slezan Opava in the Junior Czech league and Zlín in the Czech Extraliga.
He moved to North America in 1993 with a goal of playing in the National Hockey League (NHL) and was signed by the International Hockey League (IHL)'s Las Vegas Thunder, with whom he spent the 1993–94 season as a 17-year-old.
Bonk was an immediate sensation in the IHL and by the end of his first season of the North American brand of hockey he had registered 42 goals and 45 assists for 87 points in 76 games.
NHL scouts took notice, and Bonk found himself at or near the top of all the top prospects lists for the 1994 NHL Entry Draft.
He returned to Las Vegas for the first half of the 1994–95 season while the NHL was shut down by the owners' lockout and registered 20 points in 33 games.
His debut NHL season of 1994–95 was somewhat disappointing, and Bonk scored only 3 goals and 11 points in 42 games.
His progress took some seasoning in his first five years of NHL hockey before he emerged as one of the league's most complete forwards by 1999–2000.
He went on to play for the Senators for 10 seasons, eventually becoming the team’s #1 center under the tutelage of head coach Jacques Martin.
On the day of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, he was traded to the Los Angeles Kings for a third round draft pick.
The same day, he was traded to the Montreal Canadiens along with Cristobal Huet for Mathieu Garon and a third round selection in the 2004 draft.
On 22 July 2009, after 969 games in the NHL it was announced that Bonk agreed to a one-year contract with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl to continue his career in the Russian Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
After only seven games into the 2009–10 season, Bonk left Yaroslavl to return the Czech Republic with Oceláři Třinec in the Czech Extraliga on 8 October 2009.
Radek posted 17 points in 39 games for the season with Oceláři to earn a two-year contract extension on 2 May 2010.
He relocated with his family to Ottawa in 2015, where he plays in a recreational men's hockey league and coaches a youth hockey team on which one of his sons plays.
Bonk is an uncle of Patrik Bartošák, who was drafted 146th overall by the Los Angeles Kings in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.
Since 1967, he has been a professor of philosophy in Cairo, as well as a visiting professor at universities in France, the United States of America, Belgium, Kuwait and Germany.
Hanafi is a disciple of the phenomenologist Osman Amin, and published a trilogy in which he used Husserl's methods to reconstruct classic Islamic philosophy and to critique the sources and development of European consciousness.
In his more recent works Hanafi has argued that Islam needs to be understood in way that facilitates human freedom and progress.
He is also a member of the Association for Intercultural Philosophy, which encourages a dialogue among philosophers from all over the world.
He is one of the original signatories of A Common Word Between Us and You, an open letter by Islamic scholars to Christian leaders, calling for peace and understanding.
BBC Radio Solent is the BBC Local Radio service for the Isle of Wight and the English counties of Hampshire and Dorset.
Its studios are located in Southampton, in the same purpose-built office block in Havelock Road as the BBC South Today news studios, and there are district offices in Portsmouth, Newport, Bournemouth, Poole and Dorchester.
The station, which began broadcasting on 31 December 1970, is named after the Solent, the area of sea between Southampton, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight.
In 1996 Radio Solent expanded its coverage into West Dorset and South Dorset by taking over neighbouring BBC Dorset FM, which was formerly an opt-out of BBC Radio Devon.
The service is broadcast on 96.1 FM and 999 AM for Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and eastern Dorset; and on 103.8 FM and 1359 AM for western Dorset; on DAB (NOW South Hampshire and NOW Bournemouth); and via its website using Flash and Windows Media streaming formats.
When broadcasting started, the new studios in Exeter had not yet been finished, so BBC Radio Devon was broadcast from portable cabins for the first few weeks.
Hernán Cortés recruited men for his expedition from Juan de Grijalva's home in Trinidads, and Sancti Spíritus, at the start of his 1518 expedition.
Francisco Iznaga, a Basque landowner in the southern portion of Cuba during the first 30 years of the colonization of Cuba, was elected Mayor of Bayamo in 1540.
Trinidad is one of the best-preserved cities in the Caribbean from the time when the sugar trade was the main industry in the region.
In contrast, some parts of town outside the tourist areas are very run down and in disrepair, especially in the centre.
There are also discothèques, including one in the ruins of a church; another is in a large cave formerly used as a war time hospital.
It broadcasts from its studios on Phoenix Wharf in Truro on 95.2 in the east, 96.0 on the Isles of Scilly and 103.9 in the west MHz FM, as well as on DAB.
During off-peak hours, BBC Radio Cornwall also carries regional programming for the South West and West regions, produced from sister stations BBC Radio Devon and BBC Radio Somerset.
In biochemistry and pharmacology, receptors are chemical structures, composed of protein, that receive and transduce signals that may be integrated into biological systems.
Relaying sends the signal onward, amplification increases the effect of a single ligand, and integration allows the signal to be incorporated into another biochemical pathway.
However, sometimes in pharmacology, the term is also used to include other proteins that are drug targets, such as enzymes, transporters, and ion channels.
A molecule that binds to a receptor is called a ligand, and can be a protein or peptide (short protein), or another small molecule such as a neurotransmitter, hormone, pharmaceutical drug, toxin, or parts of the outside of a virus or microbe.
the endogenous ligand for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is acetylcholine but the receptor can also be activated by nicotine and blocked by curare.
The structures and actions of receptors may be studied by using biophysical methods such as X-ray crystallography, NMR, circular dichroism, and dual polarisation interferometry.
Ligands bind to receptors and dissociate from them according to the law of mass action in the following equation, for a ligand L and receptor, R. The brackets around chemical species denote their concentrations.
Note that the idea of receptor agonism and antagonism only refers to the interaction between receptors and ligands and not to their biological effects.
The anti-obesity drugs rimonabant and taranabant are inverse agonists at the cannabinoid CB1 receptor and though they produced significant weight loss, both were withdrawn owing to a high incidence of depression and anxiety, which are believed to relate to the inhibition of the constitutive activity of the cannabinoid receptor.
Mutations in receptors that result in increased constitutive activity underlie some inherited diseases, such as precocious puberty (due to mutations in luteinizing hormone receptors) and hyperthyroidism (due to mutations in thyroid-stimulating hormone receptors).
The central dogma of receptor pharmacology is that a drug effect is directly proportional to the number of receptors that are occupied.
acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction in smooth muscle), agonists are able to elicit maximal response at very low levels of receptor occupancy (<1%).
Cells can increase (upregulate) or decrease (downregulate) the number of receptors to a given hormone or neurotransmitter to alter their sensitivity to different molecule.
Enzyme linked receptors include receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK), serine/threonine-specific protein kinase, as in bone morphogenetic protein and guanylate cyclase, as in atrial natriuretic factor receptor.
The main receptors in the immune system are pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), toll-like receptors (TLRs), killer activated and killer inhibitor receptors (KARs and KIRs), complement receptors, Fc receptors, B cell receptors and T cell receptors.
Alfred, most commonly (but not originally) named in full as Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth, is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, most commonly in association with the superhero Batman.
Pennyworth is depicted as Bruce Wayne's loyal and tireless butler, housekeeper, legal guardian, best friend, aide-de-camp, and surrogate father figure following the murders of Thomas and Martha Wayne.
He serves as Bruce's moral anchor while providing comic relief with his sarcastic and cynical attitude which often adds humor to dialogue with Batman.
In non-comics media, the character has been portrayed by noted actors William Austin, Eric Wilton, Michael Gough, Michael Caine, Jeremy Irons, Douglas Hodge, and Andy Serkis on film and by Alan Napier, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Ian Abercrombie, David McCallum, and Sean Pertwee on television.
Evidence suggests that Alfred was created by the writers of the 1943 Batman serial—Victor McLeod, Leslie Swabacker, and Harry Fraser—and that DC Comics asked Don Cameron to write the first Alfred story, which was published prior to the serial's release.
To that end, Alfred introduced himself to Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson at Wayne Manor and insisted on becoming their valet.
Although the pair did not want one, especially since they did not want to jeopardize their secret identities with a servant in the house, they did not have the heart to reject Alfred.
He is helpful to the duo, following them to a theatre where they are captured, bound and gagged by a criminal gang, and rescues them after Batman attracts his attention by knocking a rope down before the crooks return.
As it turned out, the wounds were actually insignificant, but Alfred's care convinced the residents that their butler could be trusted.
His attempt at regeneration resulted in a dramatic change: Alfred awoke from his apparent death with pasty white skin with circular markings, superhuman powers, including telekinesis, and a desire to destroy Batman and Robin.
Her mother was the DC war heroine Mademoiselle Marie, whom Alfred had met while working as an intelligence agent in occupied France during World War II.
In the Post-Crisis comics continuity, Alfred has been the Wayne family valet all of Bruce's life and had helped his master establish his superhero career from the beginning.
In one such version, Alfred was hired away from the British Royal Family by Bruce's parents, and he virtually raised Bruce after they were murdered.
In this version, Alfred is an actor on the English stage who agrees to become the Waynes' butler to honor his father's dying wish.
Alfred later helps Bruce raise Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, and Tim Drake, all of whom were adopted by Bruce Wayne and became his partner Robin.
He is also highly respected by those heroes who are aware of his existence, including Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and the original Teen Titans.
Alfred has also been romantically linked to Dr. Leslie Thompkins, though his relationship with her never came to anything, particularly after she apparently allowed Stephanie Brown to die from neglect.
This was the culmination of several weeks of Wayne's self-destructive behavior, and when Wayne returns to Gotham City, Alfred remains in England, tendering his resignation.
He uses his skills as an actor, storyteller, medic, and spy to survive and collect information on the recently destroyed society.
Alfred even uses hand-to-hand combat in a rare one-panel fight sequence between him and a pair of slavers that ends with his rescue by Batman.
In Batman and the Outsiders Special, Alfred is seen apologizing at the graves of Thomas and Martha Wayne at the loss of Bruce, commenting that he grieves as a parent, regarding Bruce as his son.
Later, a secret panel in Alfred's room opens, the result of a fail-safe planted by Bruce in the event of his death.
Bruce leaves him one final task and also gives him an emotional goodbye, telling Alfred he considered him as a father.
Alfred is left emotionally shattered, commenting more than once that, even if his biological fatherhood is a fabrication, in a deeper sense he actually was Bruce Wayne's father, having watched over him for years and feeling he failed him in the last moments.
sees Alfred allowing Damian Wayne to take on his first mission as Robin, giving Damian a Robin tunic and calling on Squire to assist the new Boy Wonder in finding Tim Drake, who went missing hunting down Jason Todd.
After discovering that the original Batman was actually lost in time after his battle with Darkseid, Alfred immediately seeks clues to his whereabouts.
After Batman successfully expands his mission globally with Batman Inc., Bruce assumes full responsibility as a father, and Alfred assists him in raising Damian.
In The New 52 (a 2011 reboot of the DC universe), it is revealed that Alfred's father Jarvis Pennyworth was the butler of the Wayne family before Alfred when Bruce was still a child.
Despite declining, the Court managed to cause a car accident that caused the child to be born prematurely and eventually to have died.
Jarvis attempted to resign from his services and write a letter to his son in which he describes the manor as a cursed place, and tells Alfred that he should not begin his service under the Wayne family.
Julia is initially hostile to Alfred, feeling that he has wasted his life going from a soldier to tending to a fop like Bruce Wayne.
However, after Alfred is attacked by Hush and infected with a fear toxin, she discovers the Batcave and takes on her father's role to coordinate the Bat-Family's efforts against their foes.
Alfred is briefly transferred to Arkham before it is attacked as part of the conspiracy, but he manages to survive the explosion and trick Bane into helping him reach an emergency cave Batman had installed under Arkham, the cave's defenses knocking Bane out and allowing Alfred to call for help.
When Hush was briefly kept prisoner in the Batcave, he managed to break out of his cell and lock Alfred in it before sabotaging the Batman Family's equipment via the Batcomputer as they fought various villains, including crashing the Batwing with Batman still in it.
However, he was swiftly returned to captivity when Alfred escaped the cell and knocked Hush out, Alfred harshly informing Tommy that he was hardly going to be locked up in his own home.
Following the death of Bruce Wayne, Julia says that with current medical technology, they can have Alfred's hand reattached without any complications.
However Alfred refuses, stating that with Bruce dead, he no longer has need of it as he has no one left to serve.
After Bruce is discovered to be alive but with no memory of who he is or of his life as Batman, Alfred tells Bruce everything that had happened in his life up to the point of the creation of Batman, but accepts Bruce's request not to learn any more.
Alfred did this so that, after years of service to the people of Gotham and the world, Bruce could finally accept his reward of a life without pain and the burning desire to be Batman, allowing his life as Bruce Wayne to finally begin.
However, when the new villain Mr. Bloom launches a mass attack that apparently kills Jim Gordon-the new Batman-the amnesic Bruce pieces together enough information to deduce that he was once Batman, and convinces Alfred to subject him to a machine that will theoretically download all of his memories as Batman into his mind.
Bruce's original plan was for the machine to be used to create a series of clones of himself that could be programmed to continue his mission, but although the process failed because simulations confirmed that the human mind could not handle Batman's trauma, Bruce comes through the process by having Alfred take him to the point of brain-death and then download his memories onto his blank brain.
With his master restored, Alfred's hand is subsequently reattached, Bruce joking that they used a random hand from the reserves rather than keeping Alfred's hand on ice all this time.
When the alternate Thomas Wayne defeats his son and takes control of Gotham, he uses Alfred as a hostage to keep the rest of the Bat-Family out.
When Bruce comes back to Gotham himself, he is captured and shown Alfred's body, but a recorded message played by Alfred reveals that Alfred arranged for his own death so that Bruce could come back and stop Thomas, the message reaffirming Alfred's faith in Bruce as the true Batman.
This name was subsequently given to an alternative version of the character from the world of Earth-Two, and Pennyworth became Alfred's accepted surname in the mainstream continuity.
A highly intelligent and resourceful man, Alfred runs the day-to-day operations of Wayne Manor and maintains much of the equipment of the Batcave beneath it.
A former actor, he can use his acting and disguise skills to help Batman in the field when necessary, and is even capable of impersonating Bruce Wayne on the telephone convincingly, as well as giving Bruce various lessons that help him maintain his covers.
He has also provided first aid up to and including suturing wounds and removing bullets, as well as occasional tactical support.
He is also able to perform arthroscopy and other advanced medical procedures, thus limiting, if not eliminating, the need for hospital medical treatment even in the face of grievous injuries, helping to maintain Batman's secret identity by ensuring that Bruce Wayne has no need to visit hospitals for wounds inflicted as Batman.
In one story in which he is kidnapped, he readily escapes and overcomes his captors without disturbing the cut of his suit.
Following Batman's assault on the corrupt Gotham City police, Alfred and Vicki Vale are caught in the devastating car wreckage Batman creates (not aware of their presence) and Vale is badly hurt.
At the story's conclusion, having set Wayne Manor to self-destruct to protect Bruce Wayne's full secrets after his faked death during his fight with Superman, Alfred dies of a stroke, his last thoughts being to consider how utterly proper it is that he should die as Wayne Manor ceases to exist.
Discharged back to his home in London, Alfred received a gift from Thomas in the form of a very expensive prosthetic leg.
He later traveled to Gotham City to visit his friend and found himself arriving on the night of a campaign party for Thomas' bid at the mayoral office.
Afraid for his friend after hearing of the death threats on his life, Alfred tried to talk Thomas out of going to the movies with his wife and son, but Thomas refused to allow threats to keep him from enjoying his weekly movie night with Martha and Bruce.
When Bruce took on his costumed persona of Batman and began his war on crime, Alfred reluctantly took on the role of confidante and advisor, often telling Bruce to simply carry a gun instead of a belt full of untested gadgets.
Though Alfred introduced himself to the eight-year-old Bruce as his butler, it is obvious he never serves as a manservant in the story otherwise as Bruce's guardian and mentor.
He has a daughter living in Seoul, South Korea with her mother, where Alfred had previously worked at a security firm, implying Julia Remarque's existence in this continuity.
Flashbacks reveal that Alfred helped Thomas Wayne Jr. kill his parents and brother when he was a child, Owlman reflecting that Alfred was the only member of his family that he could control.
In the comic tie in to the video game, Alfred remained loyal to Bruce even when Bruce began the Insurgency and opposed Superman and had his secret identity exposed.
When Superman invades the Batcave and breaks Batman's back, Alfred ingests the 5-U-93-R pill (which gives a person superhuman strength and durability) and subdues Superman, breaking his nose and beating him down.
When the Insurgency began their attack on Superman's Regime, Alfred provided a Kryptonite tipped bullet to Black Canary for her to face Superman.
In the following years, Alfred remained the caretaker of Wayne Manor despite Bruce's absence, and still maintained a close relationship with Damian Wayne despite Damian's decision to join Superman.
Due to Alfred being dead for a long time, he is brought back in a zombie-like state and requires constant medical attention from Damian.
Upon recovering, around the same time he witnessed Batman and Damian attempt to kill each other, a fully recovered Alfred stops them and lecture them that his death was neither Damian nor Bruce's faults, attempting to reconcile them.
Unfortunately, when Jaime Reyes/the current Blue Beetle and Diablo unintentionally destroys all supposed extinct animals, Alfred is now under the Insurgency's safety.
Upon returning to Wayne manor for his recovery, it is reveal that the side-effect of Alfred's resurrection somehow cause him completely forgotten about the previous casualties he remembered during Superman's downfall and five years regime, such as Damian's accidental murder of Dick Grayson, only for Batman manage to remind him about this.
In this alternate reality, Nightwing ends an ongoing feud between superpowered beings by activating a device that depowers ninety percent of the super powered population.
This builds to a future where super powers are outlawed and any super powered being must take inhibitor medications or be contained and studied should the medications not work on them.
As Bruce was killed during the feud, Alfred was left with his estate and moved to Arizona while allowing Dick Grayson and his son stay in Wayne Manor.
Though Alfred did not approve of Grayson's crusade against superhumans after the death of Bruce, Alfred would sometimes pay visits to the former hero.
When Grayson discovered that his son Jake was beginning to develop powers, his house was invaded by his own police force the Crusaders to take Jake away.
Alfred, refusing to stay idly by like he did when everyone lost their powers, attempted to strike one of the police members and was killed in response.
BBC Radio Guernsey is the BBC Local Radio service for the Channel Island of Guernsey and the other islands in the Bailiwick - Alderney, Sark and Herm.
It broadcasts from its studios at Broadcasting House (part of Television House in Bulwer Avenue in St Sampson's, a building shared with ITV Channel Television) on 93.2 MHz FM-VHF and 1116 kHz AM-MW in Guernsey and 99 MHz FM-VHF in Alderney.
BBC Radio Guernsey has grown from a small limited hours radio operation in the early 1980s into a full tri-media broadcaster, providing locally produced radio, online and TV services.
As well as broadcasting on FM and AM, BBC Radio Guernsey is also available via internet at BBC Radio Guernsey Online.
During off-peak hours, BBC Radio Guernsey also carries regional programming for the South West and West regions, produced from sister stations BBC Radio Devon and BBC Radio Bristol.
In the fifteenth century, the town was occupied by the English, and belonged to Sir John Fastolf of Caister Castle in Norfolk (1380-1459).
It was from here that the Spanish mercenary François de Surienne launched an attack on Fougeres in Brittany, which triggered the invasion of English Normandy by Charles VII of France, and the end of the Hundred Years' War.
The station first aired on 15 March 1982, when it was opened by George Howard, the then chairman of the BBC.
The first voice to be hear was that of Peter Gore who was one of the four-person start up team headed by Mike Warr.
It launched from Broadcasting House, just off Rouge Bouillon in St Helier, and moved to its present premises in Parade Road in March 1994.
As well as broadcasting on FM and AM, BBC Radio Jersey is also available via internet at BBC Radio Jersey Online.
The radio station shares premises at 18-21 Parade Road in St Helier with BBC Channel Islands television news, and BBC Jersey's online services.
During off-peak hours, BBC Radio Jersey also carries regional programming for the South West and West regions, produced from sister stations BBC Radio Devon and BBC Radio Bristol.
A parole board is a panel of people who decide whether an offender should be released from prison on parole after serving at least a minimum portion of their sentence as prescribed by the sentencing judge.
A related concept is the board of pardons and paroles, which may deal with pardons and commutations as well as paroles.
A parole board consists of people qualified to make judgements about the suitability of a prisoner for return to free society.
Members may be judges, psychiatrists, or criminologists, although some jurisdictions do not have written qualifications for parole board members and will allow community members to serve in that capacity.
The boards typically make a judgement about whether a prisoner will affect public safety if released, but do not form an opinion about whether the initial sentencing was appropriate.
The boards are non-departmental public bodies respectively of the UK government (Parole Board for England and Wales), the Scottish Government (Parole Board for Scotland), and the Northern Ireland Executive (Parole Commissioners for Northern Ireland).
The United States Federal Sentencing Guidelines (enacted in 1987) discontinued parole for those convicted of federal crimes for offenses committed after November 1, 1987.
Instead of parole the legislation provided that judges may specify as part of sentencing, a period of supervised release to be served after the prison sentence.
The United States Parole Commission remains the parole board for those who committed a federal offense before November 1, 1987, as well as those who committed a District of Columbia Code offense before August 5, 2000, a Uniform Code of Military Justice offense and are parole-eligible, and persons who are serving prison terms imposed by foreign countries and have been transferred to the United States to serve their sentence.
The autonomy of the board from the state governor also varies; in some states the boards are more powerful than in others.
In some states the board is an independent agency while in others it is a body of the department of corrections.
Alabama (Board of Pardons and Paroles), Connecticut (Board of Pardons and Paroles), Georgia (Board of Pardons and Paroles), Idaho (Commission of Pardons and Paroles), Minnesota (Board of Pardons), Nebraska (Board of Pardons), Nevada (Board of Pardon commissioners, South Carolina (Board of Probation, Parole and Pardon), and Utah (Board of Pardons and Paroles) are the states in the United States with such boards.
Mississippi's state constitution includes a unique provision that any inmate seeking a pardon from that state's governor must, at least thirty days before making the request, publish a legal notice of their request for a pardon in a newspaper located in or near the county where the inmate seeking the pardon was convicted and sentenced.
Often, consideration of the opinion of the victim or victims or their family is taken into account in the board's final determination (see victims' rights).
He won a Donaldson Award for his performance, becoming the youngest actor to win one and starred in the subsequent film adaptation.
He continued acting in stage, film and television roles into adulthood before his death at age 30 in a car crash in Colorado on July 6, 1972.
He was the first child actor to win the Donaldson Award, and his talent was praised by John Gielgud the following year.
After seeing a magician saw a woman in half at a carnival, Hugo emulates the trick and kills a woman by sawing her in half.
He asked his friend, Gram Parsons (of the Byrds), and his band at the time, International Submarine Band, to back him in a recording session.
He was taken to St. Anthony Hospital, where he died at 7:20 p.m. of multiple injuries that included a broken back, neck, and leg.
He was originally buried in Hollywood, but his parents later moved his remains to Pinelawn Memorial Park in Farmingdale, New York, to be closer to their home on Long Island.
The territory of La Guérinière was formerly part of Cormelles, the northern limit of the town following the road to the oxen between the Falaise road and the path of Sente-de-Mondeville (currently boulevard de l'Avenir).
In 1875, the city of Caen bought the 27 hectares of land of the Caen riding academy, located on the grounds of the castle of Guérinière, to develop a field of maneuver for the garrisons of the city.
During the Battle of Normandy, the village was fortified by the Germans, shortly before the start of operations Goodwood and Atlantic by the British and Canadians.
The village was liberated on July 19, 1944 by Canadian-Scottish battalions and North Nova Scotia Highlanders belonging to the 3rd Canadian infantry division after fighting against the soldiers of the 272nd German infantry division.
Royal is an allusion to the privileges granted to the inhabitants of this town by Philip VI by letters patent of 22 June 1347.
During the revolutionary period of the National Convention (1792-1795), the commune, created from the parish of Cormelles-le-Royal took the name of Cormelles-le-Libre which was then cut short in Cormelles.
Located in the basin of the Orne, the territory covers an area of 348 hectares and has a population of 4829 inhabitants, a density of 1387 inhabitants / km 2.
The lowest point (13 m) corresponds to the exit of the only watercourse of the municipality of the territory, to the northeast.
The census is now based on an annual collection of information, successively covering all municipal territories over a period of five years.
For municipalities with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants, a census survey of the entire population is conducted every five years, the official population of middle years themselves being estimated by interpolation or extrapolation.
Edward III camped with his army in Cormolain overnight on 23 July 1346 on the way to the battle of Crécy.
The adequate stimulus is a property of a sensory receptor that determines the type of energy to which a sensory receptor responds with the initiation of sensory transduction.
Sensory receptors are present all throughout the body, and they take a certain amount of a stimulus to trigger these receptors.
The use of these sensory receptors allows the brain to interpret the signals to the body which allow a person to respond to the stimulus if the stimulus reaches a minimum threshold to signal the brain.
The sensory receptors will activate the sensory transduction system which will in turn send an electrical or chemical stimulus to a cell, and the cell will then respond with electrical signals to the brain which were produced from action potentials.
The minuscule signals, which result from the stimuli, enter the cells must be amplified and turned into an sufficient signal that will be sent to the brain.
A sensory receptor's adequate stimulus is determined by the signal transduction mechanisms and ion channels incorporated in the sensory receptor's plasma membrane.
Adequate stimulus are often used in relation with sensory thresholds and absolute thresholds to describe the smallest amount of a stimulus needed to activate a feeling within the sensory organ.
Ziemia Sanocka was a part of the Ruthenian Voivodeship (Red Ruthenia of Lesser Poland) with the capital at Lwów (now Lviv, Ukraine).
According to archaeological findings, a number of gords already existed here when the region was under possible control of Great Moravia.
Following several Polish - Ruthenian conflicts, Sanok became part of Red Ruthenia, and in 1150, the town was ransacked in a Hungarian raid.
The King introduced Polish administrative structure here, dividing Red Ruthenia into four lands (see ziemia), one of which was the Land of Sanok, consisting of the County powiat of Sanok.
The existence of Sanok County is confirmed by sources from 1423, and by that time, Sanok also was the seat of a starosta, who resided in a castle.
The term Sanok Land, used to describe a separate administrative unit, appears for the first time in the mid-14th century, after the annexation of Red Ruthenia by the Kingdom of Poland.
The Land of Sanok remained a separate administrative unit within the Ruthenian Voivodeship until the Partitions of Poland, when it became part of Austrian Galicia.
Furthermore, the area of Tyczyn belonged to the Land of Sanok, but some time in the 15th century, it was transferred to the Przemyśl Land.
Most of its territory was covered by forests of the Carpathian Mountains, and the population was a mix of Poles, Ruthenians, Germans, Hungarians, Slovaks and Wallachians.
BBC Radio Derby is the BBC Local Radio station for the English county of Derbyshire, covering all but the northern tip of the county, and also serves eastern Staffordshire, mainly Uttoxeter and Burton upon Trent.
The station broadcasts from its studios in Derby on 104.5, 95.3 (Stanton Moor, near Bakewell) and 96.0 (Buxton) FM and 1116 (Burnaston Lane, next to the Toyota factory) AM.
It also transmits its programmes over the internet, and, as of 23 July 2014, broadcasts on DAB Digital Radio on the NOW Derbyshire DAB Multiplex.
BBC Radio Derby began broadcasting officially on 29 April 1971, though it went on air two months earlier than planned to cover the bankruptcy of the local aero-engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce.
The station's logo was a Rams head in the late 1980s and early 1990s (as many other organisations in Derby have).
Much of the station's output is speech based, featuring news, sport, weather, travel, interviews, and discussions, mixed in with music and competitions.
The station's primary audience is aimed at listeners aged over 45, though the sports and weekend shows attract a greater age range.
Also, in both 2017 and 2009, Radio Derby was named Station of the Year in the BBC local radio station Gillard awards.
104.5FM is the primary frequency for BBC Radio Derby, and comes from a 200 ft transmitting mast on Drum Hill, four miles north of the Derby City Centre, the other side of the A38 from Little Eaton, next to a Scout camp.
There is a transmitter for the Bakewell and Matlock areas based at Stanton Moor on 95.3 FM, and a relay of that frequency for the Buxton area on 96 FM.
Although its in Derbyshire, Chesterfield is officially catered for by BBC Radio Sheffield which has a dedicated relay transmitter in the town.
In addition, all of BBC Radio Derby's area is served via its medium wave service on 1116 kHz which comes from its transmitting mast at Burnaston, just south of the city, close to the Toyota car plant.
Most of BBC Radio Derby's programming is produced and broadcast from its Derby studios from 6am - 10pm on Sundays - Fridays and from 6am-6pm and 8-9pm on Saturdays.
During off-peak hours, BBC Radio Derby also carries regional programming for the Midlands and East Midlands regions, produced from sister stations BBC Radio Nottingham and BBC WM.
It was a joint venture with the charity Skcin and was paid for with proceeds from the Colin Bloomfield Melanoma Appeal.
In later years this took place on the second Sunday of October; however it was originally held over the course of the entire weekend, and was presented from a marquee in the station's car park.
This idea was abandoned a few years prior to the event's demise and all presenting took place inside the station building itself.
Lots typically consisted services by local companies (such as car valeting) and unique items (such as signed celebrity photographs, behind-the-scenes tours and home-made products).
This raised £350; the final total for the 2008 auction was £20,951.31, bringing the grand total over the twenty-five years to £1,121,010.31.
The station's jingles have varied greatly over the years as trends in music and technology have changed; indeed, the jingle that plays prior to every hourly news bulletin (one of a new batch of tunes introduced in January 2017), features the slogan, On Radio, TV and Mobile - this is BBC Radio Derby; a reflection of the different ways in which the station's output can be heard these days.
This slogan formed the basis of many jingles in this era, but was phased out in the 1990s as the FM frequencies increased in popularity.
Nowadays, mentions of the 269m wavelength are rare, with the presenters tending to simply mention the actual frequency of the medium-wave signal.
From the commencement of the 96FM frequency for the Buxton area until April 2008, the jingles were provided by Bespoke Music of Penryn, Cornwall (being exactly the same as Radio Wiltshire).
The highest point (196 m) is located in the south-western area, and the lowest point (84 m) is in the northeast.
The station's former 837 kHz medium wave frequency from the Freeman's Common transmitter near the University of Leicester is now used by the BBC Asian Network, which originated in Leicester but is now a national network delivered via DAB, digital satellite, Freeview and other systems across the UK and beyond.
In 2007, the station celebrated its 40th anniversary by launching a Ruby Rainbow Appeal in aid of the Rainbows Hospice based in Loughborough, within its TSA (total survey area).
Special events took place throughout the year culminating in a final fund-raising appeal around the time of the anniversary in November 2007.
This new centre is adjacent to the medieval Guildhall and Cathedral and includes many aspects of Leicester's history, such as Victorian tiles and an undercroft (first revealed in 1841), with remains dating to Roman times.
The Centre houses the BBC College of Journalism's base for the Midlands, an IT Centre that is used in partnership with local organisations, and a BBC Shop selling a wide range of BBC-branded merchandise.
Although the station's FM transmitter mast is only 70 m (230 ft) tall, it is set 235 m (770 ft) above sea level on top of the Jurassic limestone ridge at Copt Oak, next to the M1.
Since 6 December 2002, the station's DAB signal has come from the NOW Digital East Midlands (NDEM) Leicester 11B multiplex, which comes from Copt Oak and Houghton on the Hill.
During off-peak hours, BBC Radio Leicester also carries regional programming for the Midlands and East Midlands regions, produced by sister stations BBC WM and BBC Radio Nottingham.
BBC Radio Lincolnshire is the BBC Local Radio service for the major part of the English county of Lincolnshire (northern parts of the county are served by BBC Radio Humberside, and southern parts of the county are not served by BBC Local Radio).
It broadcasts from studios near Newport Arch in Lincoln on 94.9 (most of the county) and 104.7 (Grantham) FM, 1368 (Swanpool, west Lincoln) AM and online.
In 1988 the station commissioned UK jingle producer Alfasound to compose a jingle package based on the traditional English folk song The Lincolnshire Poacher, continuing on this theme until 2006.
In 2006 it conducted a six-month trial of XDA pocket-PCs for the BBC, using Technica Del Arte's Luci mobile (on the hoof) interviewing application.
Under its first manager, Roy Corlett, the station achieved record audience figures as its programming of news, music and chat became very popular.
Corlett left to found BBC Radio Devon and was replaced briefly by Laurie Bloomfield, who also left to launch a new BBC local station, BBC Radio Shropshire.
After Bloomfield's brief stay, the station was managed for 14 years by David Wilkinson, one of the founding team, and a local radio pioneer from his days at BBC Radio Nottingham in 1968.
The main signal on 94.9 FM comes from the Belmont transmitting station near Donington on Bain in the north of the county, which, until the height reduction carried out in September/October 2009, was the tallest mast in Europe.
Neither the FM nor the MW signals cover the southern edge of the county, including Bourne, Holbeach, Stamford, Market Deeping and Spalding.
For Lincolnshire, a DAB multiplex could have only been realistically established by financial investment from the Lincs FM Group, and other transmitter positions could theoretically be used.
The DAB licence, was advertised in October 2007, which will not cover Stamford or South Holland, but will cover North Lincolnshire (Scunthorpe) and North East Lincolnshire (Grimsby).
It is 51% owned by the Lincs FM Group, and will have transmitters at Belmont, High Hunsley (in East Yorkshire), Grantham and Lincoln County Hospital.
Transmissions were expected to begin by July 2009, but funding for the project delayed the roll-out and the multiplex went on air in September 2015.
Radio Lincolnshire broadcasts full commentary on all Lincoln City football matches with additional commentary of Boston United and Gainsborough Trinity matches online.
The station is one of few to have a dedicated farming programme on Sundays at 7am, which it has had since the station began.
Courseulles-sur-Mer is a commune in the Calvados department (14) in the Normandy region, la Basse-Normandie, in northwestern France, 1.1 km from Graye-sur-Mer, and 3.3 km from Reviers.
It is a popular tourist destination not only with locals but also with international visitors who come to tour the Normandy landing beaches.
The population of the town can reach 15,000 people in the summer months owing to the numerous summer homes, owned for the most part by Parisians.
More than 14,000 Canadians stormed the stretch of a Lower Normandy Beach between Courseulles-sur-Mer and St. Aubin-sur-Mer on 6 June 1944.
They were followed by 150,000 additional Canadian troops over the next few months, and throughout the summer of 1944 the Canadian military used the town’s port to unload upwards of 1,000 tons of material a day, for the first two weeks following D-Day on 6 June 1944.
Canadians of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division and 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade, suffered 1074 casualties, including 369 killed on the beach and in the Calvados countryside on the first day of the invasion, reaching almost inland on the first day of fighting, the farthest advance of any of the Allied landing forces.
The land for this cemetery was donated by France to Canada after the Second World War and lies inland from Courseulles-sur-Mer, just off Route 79.
The Juno Beach Centre is a museum located in Courseulles-sur-Mer, at the head of the River Seulles, in the port's estuary, where Canadian troops landed and fought, on D-Day 6 June 1944.
Delaying H-Hour for a higher tide, to clear offshore reefs, the Canadian landing at Courseulles-sur-Mer began slightly later than those to the west, giving the German defender a warning they would need.
Stützpuntkte (StP) - Strong-Point Courseulles-sur-Mer, was a complex of three fortified ‘resistance nests’, two strengthened by numerous standard concrete fortifications, protecting anti-tank and artillery field guns.
The concrete fortification casements at two resistance nests further disposed numerous entrenchments, in which mortars and heavy machine guns were emplaced.
On D-Day the presence of the 'groynes' together with the strong current along the beach and the beach obstacles made landings and lateral movement along the beach, tricky.
Here it was shelled for effect by the embarked 105 mm guns of 13th Field Regiment, RCA from H-30 to H+5 and began taking direct fire from the DD Tanks of 'B' Squadron, 1st Hussars towards 07h55 (BST), who landed correctly (and on time) as planned.
An 88mm, beside the harbour exit, a 50 mm behind it, and a 75 mm on the right flank, fired continuously until their protective shields could be pierced.
Landing to its centre at 08h05, in a gap between its two 75mm guns, making a left flanking approach, came ‘A’ Company, The Regina Rifle Regiment, (OC Major F. E. Hodge).
Pushing into Courseulles, 'A' Company, as set out in the plan, cleared Town Blocks 5, 6, and 7 but had to return to the beachfront (Block No.1) where the Germans had returned, by tunnels and trenches, to reoccupy their guns.
The Regina’s began the disheartening task of clearing the beachfront again, it only came to be ‘captured’ after this second fight.
‘B’ Company, (OC Major ), landed at 08h15, further to the east; and quickly engaged the crew served weapon pillboxes positioned along the strong-point beachfront.
The seawall offering little cover, but with good support from ‘B’ Squadron, they got off the beach and dashed into the strongpoint’s fortifications.
Widerstandnesten WN31 StP.Courseulles (West) was located at North 49.3367 Deg / West W 00.4602 and in June 1944, for targeting purposes, at: LZ1 vT MR Grid 965858 (Ref.
The (WN) Resistance Nest at Courseulles (West) was a very large ‘platoon-sized’ position, attempting to protect entry into the town port, deny exits off the beach, and prevent an out-flanking entry into the town.
West of the River Seulles, still being 'developed', it sat on a small peninsula of land, water defending three of its approaches, its land based left front (NW) approach protected by the very large K.V.Gruppe Courseulles Beach Minefield: Mf 72.
/ Gren.Regt 736., on the position, Hauptmann Grote commanded the fight for Stützpuntkte (StP) Courseulles, from a Type Regelbau Command Post Shelter / Bunker.
Fighting WN 31, its Züg Führer (Acting Commander), having no 'urban' structures to observe 'over' the dunes, had to rely on a Type Regelbau R666 - Infantry Observation Bunker (with Panzerkuppel - 89P6 Small Turret) to adjust to the Canadian assault.
Courseulles (West) was fronted by an area of coastal erosion, where sand deposits had blocked the River Seulles access to the sea and forced it into a loop.
The strong-point was not fronted by beach villas, which were a feature of much of the JUNO Sector, and there were few landmarks, making it difficult to identifying the correct point on which to that land.
After the Assault Force J1 Beach Bombardment Programme, which did not seem to have much actual effect, WN 31 began to take indirect 105mm artillery fire from the guns of 12th Field Regiment, RCA from H-30 to H+5 and direct fire from the DD Tanks of 'A' Squadron, 1st Hussars near 07h45.
Landing just a little 'late', seven 'A' squadron immediately fired on the 50 mm anti-tank gun emplacement, it destroyed, ‘A’ Squadron began to ‘cruise up and down the beach’ engaging the machine gun crews, permitting the infantry to sweep over the dunes to begin their fight for the position.
Landing on its strong left flank, ‘B’ Company, Royal Winnipeg Rifles, (OC Captain P. E. Gower), was immediately pinned down by its heavy machine gun, and the 50mm, in a concrete pillbox, while taking accurate sniper fire.
Skirting left away from the position, ‘B’ Company forced a crossing of the river, on a small bridge at MR 964857, and got in to clear ‘four’ defensible positions, on the ‘island’.
Trained at the Conservatorio Verdi in Milan, Einaudi began his career as a classical composer, later incorporating other styles and genres such as pop, rock, folk, and world music.
His father, Giulio Einaudi, was a publisher working with authors including Italo Calvino and Primo Levi, and founder of Giulio Einaudi Editore, while his paternal grandfather, Luigi Einaudi, was President of Italy between 1948 and 1955.
That same year he took an orchestration class taught by Luciano Berio and was awarded a scholarship to the Tanglewood Music Festival.
After studying at the conservatory in Milan and subsequently with Berio, Einaudi spent several years composing in traditional forms, including several chamber and orchestral compositions.
He soon garnered international attention and his music was performed at venues such as the Teatro alla Scala, the Tanglewood Festival, Lincoln Center, and the UCLA Center for Performing Arts.
In the mid-1980s, he began to search for more personal expression in a series of works for dance and multimedia, and later for piano.
Einaudi is signed to Decca Records and is published by Chester Music Limited, part of the Music Sales Group of Companies.
The album was conceived and recorded in response to the German painter and sculptor Anselm Kiefer, as well as an exhibit space where Einaudi performed for a gallery opening for Kiefer.
It was also inspired by the drums and electronics of the Whitetree Project, a performing trio Einaudi formed with Robert and Ronald Lippok of To Rococo Rot, a German electronic group.
It was founded on May 8, 1962, under the Rabindra Bharati Act of the Government of West Bengal in 1961, to mark the birth centenary of the poet Rabindranath Tagore.
The university offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Performing Arts and Visual Arts under the Faculty of Fine Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences and other subjects under the Faculty of Arts.
While two of the three faculties of the University, those of Fine Arts and Visual Arts, are still located there, when the Faculty of Arts was founded in 1976, it was located on a new campus at 56A, B. T. Road, Kolkata-50.
The mansion and its parklands, later acquired by the Government of West Bengal, became a complex of academic institutions among which this University has the central and larger share.
Some of the other services which are provided by the University are the access to the database, photocopying services, information and reference service, inter-library loan and display of the new arrivals at the central library.
He reigned as Velikiy Kniaz (Grand Prince) of Kiev from September 1149 to April 1151 and then again from March 1155 to May 1157.
Yuri played a key role in the transition of political power from Kiev to Suzdal following the death of his elder brother Mstislav the Great in 1132.
If Gytha died on March 07, 1098 then Yuri Vladimirovich could have been a son of his father's second wife Yefimia.
The question of Yuri's birthday remains open, though taking into account all the above mentioned information Yuri's birth date can be approximated to the end of 1080s - first half of 1090s.
In 1108, Yuri was sent by his father to govern in his name the vast Vladimir-Suzdal province in the north-east of Kievan Rus'.
In 1121, he quarreled with the boyars of Rostov and moved the capital of his lands from that city to Suzdal.
Yuri instantaneously declared war on the princes of Chernigov, the reigning Grand Prince and his brother Yaropolk II of Kiev, enthroned his son in Novgorod, and captured his father's hereditary principality at Pereyaslav of the South.
In 1147, Dolgorukiy resumed his struggle for Kiev and in 1149 he captured it, but in 1151 he was driven from the capital of Rus by his nephew Iziaslav.
After presumably being poisoned at the feast of a Kievan nobleman, Yuri unexpectedly died in 1157 which sparked anti-Suzdalian uprising in Kiev.
Her paternity is not known for certain but Nikolay Karamzin was the first to theorise that Helena was returning to her native city.
She has since been theorised to be a member of the Komnenos dynasty which ruled the Byzantine Empire throughout the life of Yuri.
In 1954, a monument to him designed by sculptor Sergei Orlov was erected on Moscow's Tverskaya Street, the city's principal avenue, in front of the Moscow municipality.
During the Battle of Normandy in World War II, British troops arrived there and a battle was fought on 7 June 1944.
The Pueblo Revolt of 1680—also known as Popé's Rebellion—was an uprising of most of the indigenous Pueblo people against the Spanish colonizers in the province of Santa Fe de Nuevo México, present day New Mexico.
For more than 100 years beginning in 1540, the Pueblo Indians of present-day New Mexico were subjected to successive waves of soldiers, missionaries, and settlers.
The Tiguex War, fought in the winter of 1540–41 by the expedition of Francisco Vásquez de Coronado against the twelve or thirteen pueblos of Tiwa Indians, was particularly destructive to Pueblo and Spanish relations.
In 1598 Juan de Oñate led 129 soldiers and 10 Franciscan Catholic priests plus a large number of women, children, servants, slaves, and livestock into the Rio Grande valley of New Mexico.
Oñate put down a revolt at Acoma Pueblo by killing and enslaving hundreds of the Indians and sentencing all men 25 or older to have their foot cut off.
The Acoma Massacre would instill fear of the Spanish in the region for years to come, though Franciscan missionaries were assigned to several of the Pueblo towns to Christianize the natives.
With the establishment of the first permanent colonial settlement in 1598, the Pueblos were forced to provide tribute to the colonists in the form of labor, ground corn and textiles.
Encomiendas were soon established by colonists along the Rio Grande, restricting Pueblo access to fertile farmlands and water supplies and placing a heavy burden upon Pueblo labor.
In 1608, when it looked as though Spain might abandon the province, the Franciscans baptized seven thousand Pueblos to try to convince the Crown otherwise.
Although the Franciscans initially tolerated manifestations of the old religion as long as the Puebloans attended mass and maintained a public veneer of Catholicism, Fray Alonso de Posada (in New Mexico 1656–1665) outlawed Kachina dances by the Pueblo Indians and ordered the missionaries to seize and burn their masks, prayer sticks, and effigies.
Several Spanish officials, such as Nicolas de Aguilar, who attempted to curb the power of the Franciscans were charged with heresy and tried before the Inquisition.
In the 1670s drought swept the region, causing a famine among the Pueblo and increased raids by the Apache, which Spanish and Pueblo soldiers were unable to prevent.
Four medicine men were sentenced to death by hanging; three of those sentences were carried out, while the fourth prisoner committed suicide.
Because a large number of Spanish soldiers were away fighting the Apache, Governor Treviño was forced to accede to the Pueblo demand for the release of the prisoners.
Following his release, Popé, along with a number of other Pueblo leaders (see list below), planned and orchestrated the Pueblo Revolt.
Popé took up residence in Taos Pueblo far from the capital of Santa Fe and spent the next five years seeking support for a revolt among the 46 Pueblo towns.
The Pecos Pueblo, 50 miles east of the Rio Grande pledged its participation in the revolt as did the Zuni and Hopi, 120 and 200 miles respectively west of the Rio Grande.
The Pueblos not joining the revolt were the four southern Tiwa (Tiguex) towns near Santa Fe and the Piro Pueblos south of the principal Pueblo population centers near the present day city of Socorro.
The Pueblos joining the revolt probably had 2,000 or more adult men capable of using native weapons such as the bow and arrow.
Popé promised that, once the Spanish were killed or expelled, the ancient Pueblo gods would reward them with health and prosperity.
Popé's plan was that the inhabitants of each Pueblo would rise up and kill the Spanish in their area and then all would advance on Santa Fe to kill or expel all the remaining Spanish.
Each morning the Pueblo leadership was to untie one knot from the cord, and when the last knot was untied, that would be the signal for them to rise against the Spaniards in unison.
On August 9, however, the Spaniards were warned of the impending revolt by southern Tiwa leaders and they captured two Tesuque Pueblo youths entrusted with carrying the message to the pueblos.
The Hopi pueblos located on the remote Hopi Mesas of Arizona did not receive the advanced notice for the beginning of the revolt and followed the schedule for the revolt.
On August 10, the Puebloans rose up, stole the Spaniards' horses to prevent them from fleeing, sealed off roads leading to Santa Fe, and pillaged Spanish settlements.
A total of 400 people were killed, including men, women, children, and 21 of the 33 Franciscan missionaries in New Mexico.
Survivors fled to Santa Fe and Isleta Pueblo, 10 miles south of Albuquerque and one of the Pueblos that did not participate in the rebellion.
In desperation, on August 21, New Mexico Governor Antonio de Otermín, barricaded in the Palace of the Governors, sallied outside the palace with all of his available men and forced the Puebloans to retreat with heavy losses.
He then led the Spaniards out of the city and retreated southward along the Rio Grande, headed for El Paso del Norte.
The Spaniards who had taken refuge in Isleta had also retreated southward on August 15, and on September 6 the two groups of survivors, numbering 1,946, met at Socorro.
Popé was a mysterious figure in the history of the southwest as there are many tales among the Puebloans of what happened to him after the revolt.
Later testimony to the Spanish by Pueblo Indians was probably colored by anti-Popé sentiments and a desire to tell the Spanish what they wanted to hear.
The people were ordered to cleanse themselves in ritual baths, to use their Puebloan names, and to destroy all vestiges of the Roman Catholic religion and Spanish culture, including Spanish livestock and fruit trees.
Popé, it was said, forbade the planting of wheat and barley and commanded those Indians who had been married according to the rites of the Catholic Church to dismiss their wives and to take others after the old native tradition.
He assembled a force of 146 Spanish and an equal number of Indian soldiers in El Paso and marched north along the Rio Grande.
With the threat of a Puebloan attack growing, on January 1, 1682 Otermin decided to return to El Paso, burning pueblos and taking the people of Isleta with him.
Some of the Isleta later returned to New Mexico, but others remained in El Paso, living in the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo.
The Piro also moved to El Paso to live among the Spaniards, eventually forming part of the Piro, Manso, and Tiwa tribe.
The Spanish were never able to re-convince some Puebloans to join Santa Fe de Nuevo México, and the Spanish often returned seeking peace instead of reconquest.
For example, the Hopi remained free of any Spanish attempt at reconquest; though they did, at several non-violent attempts, try for unsuccessful peace treaties and unsuccessful trade agreements.
The Spanish return to New Mexico was prompted by their fears of French advances into the Mississippi valley and their desire to create a defensive frontier against the increasingly aggressive nomadic Indians on their northern borders.
In August 1692, Diego de Vargas marched to Santa Fe unopposed along with a converted Zia war captain, Bartolomé de Ojeda.
De Vargas, with only sixty soldiers, one hundred Indian auxiliaries, seven cannons (which he used as leverage against the Pueblo inside Santa Fe), and one Franciscan priest, arrived at Santa Fe on September 13.
He promised the 1,000 Pueblo people assembled there clemency and protection if they would swear allegiance to the King of Spain and return to the Christian faith.
It was the thirteenth town he had reconquered for God and King in this manner, he wrote jubilantly to the Conde de Galve, viceroy of New Spain.
Though the 1692 agreement to peace was bloodless, in the years that followed de Vargas maintained increasingly severe control over the increasingly defiant Pueblo.
De Vargas returned to Mexico and gathered together about 800 people, including 100 soldiers, and returned to Santa Fe in December 1693.
De Vargas and his forces staged a quick and bloody recapture that concluded with the surrender and execution of the 70 Pueblo warriors and with their families sentenced to ten years' servitude.
In 1696 the Indians of fourteen pueblos attempted a second organized revolt, launched with the murders of five missionaries and thirty-four settlers and using weapons the Spanish themselves had traded to the Indians over the years; de Vargas's retribution was unmerciful, thorough and prolonged.
Many of the Pueblos, however, fled New Mexico to join the Apache or Navajo or to attempt to re-settle on the Great Plains.
While the independence of many pueblos from the Spaniards was short-lived, the Pueblo Revolt gained the Pueblo Indians a measure of freedom from future Spanish efforts to eradicate their culture and religion following the reconquest.
Moreover, the Spanish issued substantial land grants to each Pueblo and appointed a public defender to protect the rights of the Indians and argue their legal cases in the Spanish courts.
The Franciscan priests returning to New Mexico did not again attempt to impose a theocracy on the Pueblo who continued to practice their traditional religion.
It depicted events leading up to the Pueblo Revolt, inspired by accounts of two half-brothers who met on opposite sides of the battlefield.
A statue of Po'Pay by sculptor Cliff Fragua was added to the National Statuary Hall Collection in the US Capitol Building in 2005 as one of New Mexico's two statues.
Set five years after the Spanish Reconquest of 1692, the play links actual historical figures with their literary counterparts to dramatize how both sides learned to live together and form the culture that is present-day New Mexico.
Lt. McCormick was the only Allied soldier to reach his D-Day objective when on 6 June 1944, after the tank he commanded passed through Creully, it reached the Caen-Bayeux road.
Since 30 April 2004, the station has been available on DAB from the NDEM (NOW Digital East Midlands) Nottingham 12C multiplex from Waltham (main signal and in Leicestershire), Mapperley Ridge and Fishponds Hill (since July 2006).
The station used to broadcast AM signals on 1584 kHz Medium Wave, from Clipstone, near Mansfield, until 25 January 2018 when the transmitter was turned off.
This followed a trial, to determine if listeners would miss or complain about the loss of services on medium wave, from 17 August to 24 September 2012 when BBC Radio Nottingham stopped broadcasting its normal programmes on medium wave, instead directing listeners to FM or DAB.
Most of BBC Radio Nottingham's programming is produced and broadcast from its Nottingham studios from 6am - 10pm on Sundays - Fridays and from 6am-6pm and 8-9pm on Saturdays.
During off-peak hours, BBC Radio Nottingham also carries regional programming for the Midlands and East Midlands regions, including its own specialist music programming at weekends and the Midlands' late show from BBC WM.
That building was then used by Nottingham Trent University as the Centre for Broadcast Journalism as the base for the Nottingham Trent International College.
BBC Radio Nottingham faces local competition from the regional commercial stations Gem 106 and 106.6 Smooth Radio, which are broadcast from Nottingham-based studios to the wider East Midlands.
Trent FM, Nottingham's heritage commercial radio station, was merged with Leicester Sound and Ram FM in January 2011 to form a regional station Capital FM East Midlands, which carries a mix of local and networked output.
Listeners north of Worksop and Retford, are catered for by BBC Radio Sheffield broadcasting on 104.1FM from the Holme Moss transmitter.
A section of Hindus claim that the exact site of Rama's birthplace is where the Babri Masjid once stood in the present-day Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh.
According to this theory, the Mughals demolished a Hindu shrine that marked the spot, and constructed a mosque in its place.
People opposed to this theory state that such claims arose only in the 18th century, and that there is no evidence for the spot being the birthplace of Rama.
The political, historical and socio-religious debate over the history and location of the Babri Mosque, and whether a previous temple was demolished or modified to create it, is known as the Ayodhya dispute.
According to the local Hindu belief, the site of the now-demolished Babri Mosque in Ayodhya is the exact birthplace of Rama.
The Babri mosque is believed to have been constructed during 1528-29 by a certain 'Mir Baqi' (possibly Baqi Tashqandi), who was a commander of the Mughal emperor Babur (1526–1530).
The Jesuit missionary Joseph Tiefenthaler, who visited the site between 1766-1771, wrote that either Aurangazeb (1658–1707) or Babur had demolished the Ramkot fortress, including the house that was considered as the birthplace of Rama by Hindus.
He further stated that a mosque was constructed in its place, but the Hindus continued to offer prayers at a mud platform that marked the birthplace of Rama.
In 1810, Francis Buchanan visited the site, and stated that the structure destroyed was a temple dedicated to Rama, not a house.
They were affixed sometime around 1813 (almost 285 years after the supposed construction of the mosque in 1528 AD), and repeatedly replaced.
A section of historians, such as R. S. Sharma, state that such claims of Babri Masjid site being the birthplace of Rama sprang up only after the 18th century.
Sharma states that Ayodhya emerged as a place of Hindu pilgrimage only in medieval times, since ancient texts do not mention it as a pilgrim centre.
Sharma also notes that Tulsidas, who wrote the Ramcharitmanas in 1574 at Ayodhya, does not mention it as a place of pilgrimage.
Many critics also claim that the present-day Ayodhya was originally a Buddhist site, based on its identification with Saketa described in Buddhist texts.
According to historian Romila Thapar, ignoring the Hindu mythological accounts, the first historic mention of the city dates back to the 7th century, when the Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang described it as a Buddhist site.
In 1853, a group of armed Hindu ascetics belonging to the Nirmohi Akhara occupied the Babri Masjid site, and claimed ownership of the structure.
Subsequently, the civil administration stepped in, and in 1855, divided the mosque premises into two parts: one for Hindus, and the other for Muslims.
In December 1949, some Hindus placed idols of Rama and Sita in the mosque, and claimed that they had miraculously appeared there.
As thousands of Hindu devotees started visiting the place, the Government declared the mosque a disputed area and locked its gates.
The excavations by the ASI were heavily used as evidence by the court that the predating structure was a massive Hindu religious building.
In 2009, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) released its election manifesto, repeating its promise to construct a temple to Rama at the site.
In 2010, the Allahabad High Court ruled that the of disputed land be divided into 3 parts, with going to the Ram Lalla or Infant Lord Rama represented by the Hindu Maha Sabha for the construction of the Ram temple, going to the Muslim Sunni Waqf Board and the remaining going to a Hindu religious denomination Nirmohi Akhara.
On 9 November 2019, the Supreme Court ordered the land to be handed over to a trust to build the Hindu temple.
The panel representing the Muslim organization Babri Masjid Action Committee (BMAC) included R. S. Sharma, D. N. Jha, M. Athar Ali and Suraj Bhan.
He also claimed that the writers of the later epics and the Puranas got confused because the ancient Indo-Aryans applied their ancient place names to the new place names as they migrated eastwards.
There are multiple candidates for first novel in English partly because of ignorance of earlier works, but largely because the term novel can be defined so as to exclude earlier candidates.
Just outside Cricqueville, the United States Army Air Forces established an airfield shortly after D-Day on 9 June 1944, just three days after the Allied landings in France.
Its parent department is the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
There are separate national archives for Scotland (the National Records of Scotland) and Northern Ireland (the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland).
TNA was formerly four separate organisations: the Public Record Office (PRO), the Historical Manuscripts Commission, the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) and Her Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO).
The Public Record Office still exists as a legal entity, as the enabling legislation has not been modified, and documents held by the institution thus continue to be cited by many scholars as part of the PRO.
The building was opened in 1977 as an additional home for the public records, which were held in a building on Chancery Lane.
Until its closure in March 2008, the Family Records Centre in Islington was run jointly by The National Archives and the General Register Office.
The National Archives was created in 2003 by combining the Public Record Office and the Historical Manuscripts Commission and is a non-ministerial department reporting to the Minister of State for digital policy.
On 31 October 2006, The National Archives merged with the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI), which itself also contained Her Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO) which was previously a part of the Cabinet Office.
The National Archives (and before it the Public Record Office) has long had a role of oversight and leadership for the entire archives sector and archives profession in the UK, including local government and non-governmental archives.
Under the Public Records Act 1958 it is responsible for overseeing the appropriate custody of certain non-governmental public records in England and Wales.
Under the 2003 Historical Manuscripts Commission Warrant it has responsibility for investigating and reporting on non-governmental records and archives of all kinds throughout the United Kingdom.
In October 2011, when the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council was wound up, TNA took over its responsibilities in respect of archives in England, including providing information and advice to ministers on archives policy.
There is also a museum, which displays key documents such as Domesday Book and has exhibitions on various topics using material from the collections.
Anybody aged 16 or over can access the original documents at the Kew site, after producing two acceptable proofs of identity and being issued a free reader's ticket.
Frequently accessed documents such as the Abdication Papers have been put on microfilm, as have records for two million First World War soldiers.
The originals of the latter were stored in a warehouse in London along with four million others, but incendiary bombs dropped on the warehouse in the Second World War started a fire in which most were destroyed.
Because they were mostly too fragile for public access, they were put on microfilm with the aid of the Heritage Lottery Fund.
All of the open census records have been digitised, and there are also significant other sources online, such as wills proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 1383–1858.
If a document is available online, The National Archives' policy is to encourage people to use the digital copy and not the original, even if they come to Kew, in order to protect the original from damage.
The documents are stored on mobile shelving – double-sided shelves, which are pushed together so that there is no aisle between them.
A large handle on the end of each shelf allows them to be moved along tracks in the floor to create an aisle when needed.
In the event of a fire The National Archives would be clearly unable to use sprinklers for fear of ruining its holdings, and so when the building is evacuated, argon gas is released into the air-tight repositories.
The National Archives' education web page is a free online resource for teaching and learning history, aimed at teachers and students.
Access to Archives (also known as A2A) is a database containing details of archival collections held in many different archive repositories in England and Wales.
As of March 2008, there are no more plans to add additional collections to A2A due to lack of funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the changing financial priorities of The National Archives, but existing entries can still be updated.
The A2A database was transferred to The National Archives with a new platform with a simpler interface to ensure its availability.
The National Register of Archives (NRA) is the central point for the collection and circulation of information about the content and nature of archival manuscripts relating to British history.
It contains published and unpublished lists and catalogues describing archival collections in the UK and overseas: currently over 44,000 such catalogues are included.
The register can be consulted in the National Archives reading room and the index used to be searchable as an online database on the National Archives web site.
TNA conducts an annual survey of archive repositories and records all new accessions, and the accession lists are also available on TNA's website.
The Register includes name indexes to its contents (covering corporate names, personal names, family names, and place names); but not subject or thematic indexes.
A separate National Register of Archives for Scotland is maintained at the National Archives of Scotland, but its contents are duplicated within the NRA at Kew.
ARCHON Directory is a database of contact details for archive repositories in the UK and institutions elsewhere in the world which have substantial collections of manuscripts relating to British history.
Your Archives is a wiki for the National Archives on-line community which was launched in May 2007; it was closed for editing on 30 September 2012 in preparation of archiving on the Government web archive.
The contributions are made by users to give additional information to that which is available on the other services provided by the National Archives, including the catalogue, research guides, documentonline and National Register of Archive.
Your Archives encourages users to create articles not only about historical records held by the National Archives, but those held in other archive repositories.
The National Archives operates the Civil Pages project on behalf of the Cabinet Office, operating as an online directory for the civil service, facilitating working together and providing a means of sharing knowledge securely between government departments.
In January 2011 The National Archives, in conjunction with historian Nick Barratt and smartphone applications development studio RevelMob, developed its first Old Money iPhone app, which uses historic price data from documents held at The National Archives to see what a sum of money from the past (from 1270) would be worth today and the spending power it would have commanded at the time.
In September 2011, TNA's museum began using QRpedia codes, which can be scanned by smartphone users in order to retrieve information about exhibits from Wikipedia.
Posts cover a wide range of topics, from specific events and time periods to features on holdings in TNA, as well as information on the archive's operations.
Archives Inspire is a strategy document that sets out the goals and priorities of the organisation over four years, from 2015 onwards.
On viewing photographs of the documents, Fenton's suspicions were immediately aroused by the fact that such a controversial policy was casually committed to paper, even to the extent of naming the assassin, and by the use of colourful language, unlike the civil service language of the 1940s used by senior Foreign Office officials John Wheeler-Bennett and Robert Bruce Lockhart.
Viewing the original documents the next day, Fenton spotted what looked like pencil marks beneath the signature on one of them.
TNA staff took four files, along with authenticated copies of the authors' handwriting, to Dr Audrey Giles, a former head of Scotland Yard's Questioned Documents Unit where she confirmed that the documents were certainly forgeries.
One letter head had been printed on a laser printer, the earliest example of which was produced in 1977, and all had tear marks where they had been threaded on to the security tags.
After his account of the deception appeared in the newspaper, Fenton was contacted by a German academic, Ernst Haiger, who informed him of his own suspicions over other TNA documents cited in an earlier Allen book.
Examination by TNA experts led to more than a dozen documents being identified as suspicious and submitted to Home Office specialists for examination.
In the addendum to the later American edition of the book (which acknowledged that the papers were forged), Allen theorised that, some time after he saw the documents, they had been removed and replaced with clumsily forged replicas, to cast doubt upon his discoveries.
Allen's health problems had prevented the police questioning him for nine months, after which he told them he was wholly innocent.
Around 800 of these records have since been recovered, and the archives has reported that they believe most are misplaced rather than permanently lost.
In 2017, the archives again received attention when it was reported that around 1000 files had been removed – in part or whole – by government officials and reported as missing when not returned.
In response to concerns stated by politicians and historians about management of the collection, the archives stressed that the number of missing files is quite small in proportion the entire holdings of the repository – about 0.01% – and that, as of 2017, its loss rate was only around 100 documents, annually.
MI5 records relating to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's time in office have caused some questions and controversy regarding the transparency of the British government.
In 2017, journalist Richard Norton-Taylor argued that MI5, and the British government by extension, was purposely withholding some information that the public deserves to know.
Norton-Taylor specifically refers to Thatcher's reluctance to allow the publication of two books looking into the impact that intelligence organizations of Britain had on World War II, as well as her worries about British activities in Northern Ireland becoming known to the general public.
Additional MI5 records relating to the blacklisting of government workers during Thatcher's time in office have also prompted questions after their release.
In addition to government workers, the blacklists also targeted other groups, such as unions and minorities, that may not fall in line with conservative policies.
Debates on the roles of MI5, Whitehall, and Thatcher's administration, have come up in light of these records at TNA and prompted questions of transparency as well as whether or not these blacklists had an effect on the careers of any individuals included.
Questions also remain, as of 2018, whether or not there are still blacklists currently in effect and if these could affect government workers, unions, and other individuals possibly included in the blacklists.
Criminal Justice Act (with its many variations) is a stock short title used for legislation in Canada, Malaysia, the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom relating to the criminal law (including both substantive and procedural aspects of that law).
The Bill for an Act with this short title will have been known as a Criminal Justice Bill during its passage through Parliament.
Criminal Justice Acts may be a generic name either for legislation bearing that short title or for all legislation which relates to the criminal law.
The change in nomenclature is due to the demise of the Parliament of Northern Ireland and the imposition of direct rule.
The Cistaceae are a small family of plants (rock-rose or rock rose family) known for their beautiful shrubs, which are profusely covered by flowers at the time of blossom.
This family consists of about 170(-200) species in nine genera that are not very distinct, distributed primarily in the temperate areas of Europe and the Mediterranean basin, but also found in North America; a limited number of species are found in South America.
It has five sepals, the inner three of which are distinctly wider, and the outer two are narrow and sometimes regarded as bracteoles.
The ability of Cistaceae to thrive in many Mediterranean habitats follows from two important ecological properties: mycorrhizal ability and fast renewal after wildfire.
In this relationship, the fungus complements the root system in its task of absorbing water and minerals from the soil, and thus allows the host plant to dwell on particularly poor soils.
The plants cast their seeds in the soil during the growth period, but they do not germinate in the next season.
This coating together with their small size allows these plants to establish a large seed bank rather deep in the soil.
Once the fire comes and kills the vegetation in the area, the seed coating softens or cracks as a result of the heating, and the surviving seeds germinate shortly after the fire.
This mechanism allows the Cistaceae to produce a large number of young shoots simultaneously and at the right time, and thus to obtain an important advantage over other plants in the process of repopulating the area.
Molecular analyses of angiosperms have placed Cistaceae within the Malvales, forming a clade with two families of tropical trees, Dipterocarpaceae and Sarcolaenaceae.
Cistaceae has been listed as one of the 38 plants used to prepare Bach flower remedies, a kind of alternative medicine promoted for its effect on health.
These generic names inside Cistaceae were defined in various publications, but their members were synonymised with the eight accepted genera by later research.
An ice shanty (also called an ice shack, ice house, fishing shanty, fish house, fish coop, bobhouse, ice hut, or darkhouse) is a portable shed placed on a frozen lake to provide shelter during ice fishing.
They can be as small and cheap as a plastic tarp draped over a frame of two-by-fours, or as expensive as a small cabin with heat, bunks, electricity and cooking facilities.
More durable ice houses are generally left on a lake for the duration of the ice fishing season, although this can cause problems, such as thaws and re-freezing causing houses to be immoveably frozen onto the lake.
Many northern communities have developed bodies of laws about the operation of ice shanties - frequently including dates by which they must be removed, even if the ice can still hold them.
Fishermen often decorate their ice shanties in humorous ways (toilets are a popular joke addition), while others studiously work on ways to make their ice shanties more comfortable and efficient.
A producer of dubstep, drum and bass, trap and breakbeat, Excision is known for his dark, bass-heavy sounds created using bass and drums, the aggressiveness of metal, and hip-hop vibes.
The majority of tracks on the album were produced by Excision, with collaborations with other artists such as Downlink, Space Laces, Far Too Loud, Bassnectar and Ajapai.
On 15 November 2013, Excision unveiled a 100,000-watt sound system at the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield Colorado for the Boomfest event.
The event included a very special back-to-back set from Funtcase and Cookie Monsta along with Deltron 3030, Brillz, ill.Gates and Colorado locals, Robotic Pirate Monkey.
The new production system made its way across North America selling out countless venues with the support of Bear Grillz and Figure on most dates.
The lineup consisted of many of the top bass music DJs including: Excision, Seven Lions, Rezz, Zeds Dead, 12th Planet, Destroid, Kill The Noise, and many more.
The album took two years to make and it contains 14 songs and collaborations with artists including Dion Timmer, Sullivan King, Space Laces, Illenium and others.
The Grantland Rice Trophy was an annual award presented in the United States from 1954 to 2013 to the college football team recognized by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) as the National Champions.
Named for the legendary sportswriter Grantland Rice, the trophy was the first national championship award to be presented after the college football bowl games.
Through 1991 voting was undertaken by the membership of the FWAA, but after 1992 was conducted amongst a panel of four or five selected writers, initially by a positional voting system but after 1994 by a single-team vote.
On August 26, 2010, the FWAA announced that the 2004 award presented to the USC Trojans had been rescinded, the first time in the award's history that a winner has vacated the honor.
With the advent of the College Football Playoff (CFP) for the 2014 season, the FWAA quietly retired the Grantland Rice Trophy, joining with the National Football Foundation (NFF) to instead publish the FWAA-NFF Grantland Rice Super 16 Poll during the regular season, with the CFP champion automatically receiving the NFF's MacArthur Bowl Trophy.
Attachment parenting (AP) is a parenting philosophy that proposes methods which aim to promote the attachment of parent and infant not only by maximal parental empathy and responsiveness but also by continuous bodily closeness and touch.
Spock had mothers advised to raise their infants according to their own common sense and with plenty of physical contact – a guideline that radically broke with the preceding doctrines of L. Emmett Holt and John B. Watson; the book became a bestseller, and Spock's new child rearing concept greatly influenced the upbringing of the post-war generations.
In Venezuela, Liedhoff had studied Ye'kuana people, and later she recommended to Western mothers to nurse and to wear their infants and to share their bed with them.
She argued that infants, speaking in terms of evolution, have not arrived in the modernity yet, so that today's way of child care – with bottle feeding, use of cribs and baby carriages, etc.
He contributed new research about the capacity of even newborn infants to express themselves and their emotions, sensitized parents for these signals, and encouraged them – just like Spock – to follow their own judgment.
In 1985, William Sears and his wife Martha Sears began to link the concept – ex post – with attachment theory which they had begun to recognize at that time.
All three books stood – with their opposition against a crude behavioristic infant anthropology – in the tradition of Spock, but radicalized the concept of a contingency-oriented parenting on the one hand, and incorporated Liedloff's idea of an instinct-guided resp.
Hunt who sees herself as a child advocate, campaigned in this book not only for attachment parenting, but also for unschooling.
Like before him the founders of attachment theory, Mary Ainsworth in particular, William Sears teaches that a strong mother-child-attachment emerges from contingency, that is of emotional attunement of mother and child, which again is based on the mother's sensitivity.
Marshall Klaus and John Kennell from 1967; however, Klaus and Kennell later modified their original assumptions, including the one cited by Sears.
Sears advises women to abstain from analgesics during childbirth, since those drug the child, too, and according to Sears interfere with the birth bonding.
William Sears argues that breastfeeding greatly accommodates mother-child-attachment because it triggers the release of oxytocin in the mother which supports her emotional bonding with the child, notably in the first ten days after childbirth.
In opposition to bottle feeding which tends to being done in three to four hour intervals, breastfeeding enables the mother, too, to perceive the child's moods and needs exactly.
Since the half-life period of the hormones prolactin and oxytocin (which promote bonding) are very short, Sears recommends to breastfeed very frequently, newborns in particular (8 to 12 times a day).
He claims that infants up to six months should be exclusively fed with breast milk, since he believes that, at that age, children are allergic to all other foods.
William Sears advocates extended breastfeeding, since he is convinced that breastfeeding supports attachment even of older children and that it is a valid instrument to comfort older children or to bring mother and child together on turbulent days.
Sears’ recommendations are in accordance with the WHO guidelines on breastfeeding, which recommend exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months and complementary breastfeeding in the first two years for all countries.
Since breastfeeding studies are, for ethical reasons, never conducted as randomized controlled trials, critics have repeatedly suspected that studies may have produced the superiority of breastfeeding as an artifact.
Both the physical, emotional and mental development of children and the preferences of women for a feeding method are strongly determined by socioeconomical factors such as the mother's ethnicity, social class, and education.
If researchers go without randomization and turn a blind eye to those possible alternative factors, they fundamentally run a risk to falsely credit the feeding method for effects of socioeconomical factors.
A loophole from this problem was first presented by Cynthia G. Colen (Ohio State University), who successfully factored out socioeconomical determinants by comparing siblings only; her study demonstrated that formula fed children showed only minimal differences to their breastfed siblings, insofar as their physical, emotional and mental thriving was concerned.
In 2006, John R. Britton and a research team (Kaiser Permanente) found that highly sensitive mothers are more likely than less sensitive mothers to breastfeed and to breastfeed over a long time period.
Sears advises mothers to wear infants on the body as many hours during the day as possible, for example in a sling.
He argues that this practice makes the child happy and allows the mother to involve the child into everything she does and never to lose sight of the child.
He advises working mothers to wear the child at least 4–5 hours every night in order to make good for her absence during the day.
In 1990, a research team from New York revealed in a randomized study that children of lower class mothers who to the age of 13 months spent a lot of time in a child carrier on their mother's body showed significantly more frequently a secure attachment as defined by Ainsworth than the control group children, who spend more time in an infant seat.
Sears argues furthermore that babywearing exercises the child's sense of balance; since a child who is worn on the mother's experiences more of her conversations, he believes that babywearing is also beneficial for the child's language acquisition.
Infants cry the most in the age of six weeks; in 1986, a research team at McGill University showed in a randomized study that infants of that age cried significantly less if their parents wore them a lot on the body during the day.
He approves on the use of a sling up to the age of three, since childwearing can also be used to calm a misbehaving toddler down.
Other pediatricians find it disputable to wear children beyond the age of nine months permanently on the body, arguing that this is against the child's natural desire for autonomy.
William Sears states that any sleeping arrangement that a family practices is acceptable as long as it works; but he advises mother to sleep close to the child.
He thinks of co-sleeping as the ideal arrangement and refers to it as the nighttime equivalent of babywearing: co-sleeping supports, in his opinion, the mother-child-attachment, makes breastfeeding more convenient, and prevents not only separation anxiety, but SIDS, too.
Sears is convinced that mother and child, in spite of frequent nighttime breastfeeding, have the best sleep when they sleep close together.
Moreover, Katie Allison Granju argued that co-sleeping is beneficial for children, too, because it gives children a vivid notion of the concept of bedtime.
He doesn't even object if a child is in the habit of spending the whole night with her mother's nipple in her mouth, except when the mother really feels uncomfortable.
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is a very rare incident; it occurs in less than ½ per mill of all infants.
James J. McKenna (University of Notre Dame) has discovered that co-sleeping mothers and infants not only synchronize their sleep-wake-rhythm, but their breathing, too; he therefore reasons that co-sleeping lowers the SIDS risk.
Nonetheless, studies that investigate SIDS directly have shown that permanent co-sleeping rather raises the SIDS risk than lowering it; it is worth noting that in the study, the increased risk of SIDS occurred in infants younger than four months when the parents were especially tired, had consumed alcohol, were smokers, slept on a sofa, or the baby was in a duvet.
Attachment Parenting International issued a response which stated that the data referenced in the Consumer Product Safety Commission statement were unreliable, and that co-sponsors of the campaign had created a conflict of interest.
A meta study from Israel has pointed out in 2000 that sleeping aids such as pacifiers and teddy bears significantly improve the child's sleep, while co-sleeping and frequent nighttime breastfeeding if anything hinder the formation of wholesome sleeping patterns.
The most important factor for a child to get a good sleep proved to be the mother's emotional accessibility, not her permanent physical closeness.
But as early as in 1962, T. Berry Brazelton had shown in a study that a certain amount of crying in young infants does not indicate emotional or physical problems, but is to be considered normal and harmless.
Sears argues that advocates of sleep training are professionally incompetent and merely business oriented, and that there is no scientific proof that sleep training is beneficial for children.
than most other present-day ways of parenting, placing high responsibility on them without allowing for a support network of helpful friends or family.
He suggests a whole package of measures that aim to prevent an emotional burnout of the mother, like the prioritization and delegation of duties and responsibilities, streamlining of daily routines, and collaboration between both parents.
Mayim Bialik, too, considers attachment a feminist option, since it constitutes an alternative to the – male dominated – superiority of physicians who traditionally shaped the spheres of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood.
Since attachment parenting poses a considerable challenge to the reconcilability of motherhood and female career, the philosophy has been greatly criticized, most notably in the context of the attachment parenting controversy from 2012.
Sears states that in attachment families, parents and children practice a highly developed and sophisticated type of communication that makes it unnecessary for parents to use practices such as scolding; often, all it takes is a mere frown.
As studies have shown, it is indeed possible to use discipline strategies that are sensitive and, therefore, one should not equate discipline and insensitive caregiving.
Like Benjamin Spock before them, William and Martha Sears consider their parenting philosophy as a common sense and instinct-guided ad hoc way of parenting.
In contrast to Spock who derived his ideas in a straight line from Freud’s psychoanalysis, the Searses in fact didn’t start out from a theory; even the tie to attachment theory was only engineered ex post, when the philosophy was already largely complete.
Their belief in such scientific proof doesn’t hinder the Searses to advise AP parents not to engage in discussions with AP critics.
Critics consider a lack of a consistent theoretical foundation – notably the lack of precise definitions of the fundamental terms – a shortcoming of the attachment parenting concept.
As early as in the late 1940s, Donald Winnicott gave a detailed account of the development of the child's attachment; at the latest after the sixth month, healthy children begin to disengage from the mother-child symbiosis quite normally.
The readers must therefore assume that attachment is a deeply vulnerable state that never stabilizes and that requires constant reestablishment through incessant sensitivity.
His formulations don't reveal which kind of problematic attachment is meant: reactive attachment disorder (ICD), desorganized attachment (Ainsworth) or the two forms of insecure attachment (Ainsworth).
Due to the vague description of problematic attachment, Sears and AP organisations who use his criteria have been reproached to produce a high rate of false positives.
Sears offers a discrimination between (good) attachment and (bad) enmeshment, but again without explaining to his readers how exactly they can identify the difference.
In field studies in Uganda, Ainsworth has observed that sometimes even children who spend plenty of time with their mothers and who were breastfed on cue, developed signs of insecure attachment; she concluded that it is not the quantity of mother-child interaction that determines the attachment type, but the quality.
The theoretical starting point of attachment parenting – the idea of contingency – would suggest a concept of the infant as a creature who is essentially defined by their feelings and communication.
As early as in the 1940s, psychologists such as Abraham Maslow shaped detailed models of the human needs; ever since, scientists have made a clear distinction between needs on the one hand and desires on the other hand.
Although they stressed that parents must distinguish between needs and desires of children, in particular of older children, they denied their readers a guideline of how to tell needs and desires apart.
With a view to toddlers, they often phrase it: a child is not ready yet (to do without breastfeeding, without co-sleeping, etc.
To give a child comfort is an important parental responsibility; but parents are just as well liable to teach their child to take heart by their own power.
In resilience psychology, too, there is broad agreement today that it harms children if their parents keep any stress away from them indiscriminately; by doing so, they suggest to the child that everyday problems are painful and overall to be avoided.
Even though stress is one of the fundamental terms of attachment parenting, William Sears’ publications don't reveal acquaintance with pertinent literature about this topic.
Sears links stress and distress with the release of cortisol, but uses both terms synonymously and in a purely colloquial sense.
He refers the term to any uncomfortable or frustrating state which makes the child cry – a signal which AP mothers are supposed to carefully attend to since stress sickens the child.
The Searses describe attachment parenting as the natural, biological, intuitive and spontaneous behavior of mothers who rely on their instincts, sixth sense, inner wisdom or common sense.
But already Arnold Gehlen had disputed that humans still have much instinct at their disposal; for him, plasticity and learning aptitude outranked instinct.
Many of the methods that the representatives of attachment parenting attribute to the evolutionary history of life don't actually play the major role in non-western cultures that is attributed to them.
In Cameroon for example, children are actually carried in a sling initially, but then have to learn to sit and to walk much earlier than European and North American children; rather than to cultivate affectionate eye contact, mothers blow into their children's face in order to get them out of the habit of making eye contact.
Amish mothers for example co-sleep with their infants, but only for the first several months; they never let their infants and toddlers out of view, but they don't wear them while they are working.
From very early on, Amish children are raised to serve God, family, and community rather than to express their own needs.
As Suzanne M. Cox (Northwestern University) has pointed out, neither attachment theory nor attachment parenting offer a general outline of the optimal development of the child, which could be used to empirically measure the efficacy of attachment parenting.
The Searses promise parenting results such as increased independence, confidence, health, physical growth, improved development of the motor and language skills, good manners, conscientiousness, social competence, sense of justice, altruism, sensitivity, empathy, concentration, self-control, and intelligence.
Similar to the German catholic Albert Wunsch, Sears therefore ranks among those parenting advisors whose philosophies reflect stray aspects of their religious beliefs, but result in a purely worldly target.
In the United States, parenting tips of well-known people like the actresses Mayim Bialik and Alicia Silverstone contributed to the popularity of the philosophy.
William Sears has close ties to the international La Leche League (LLL) which feature him as a conference speaker and published several of his books.
Parents who follow the philosophy have been reproached as acting according to their own helplessness and unsatisfied emotional neediness which may be the true reasons for their decision to incessantly pacify their child by breastfeeding and babywearing even into toddlerhood, as the belief that the child actually needs all that permanent intimacy for their healthy development is only a subterfuge.
Emma Jenner argued that parents who are in the habit of stereotypically attending to each of the child's signals with physical proximity will not learn to perceive the child's needs in the full extent of their bandwidth and complexity.
Sociologist Jan Macvarish (University of Kent), a pioneer in the recent field of parenting culture study, described how AP parents utilize their parenting philosophy as a strategy of individualization, as a way to find personal identity and to join a group of congenial adults.
According to Macvarish, it is characteristic for such choices that they are much more angled towards the parents' self-perception than towards the child's needs.
Sociologist Charlotte Faircloth, too, considers attachment parenting a strategy that women pursue in order to gain and to express personal identity.
Multiple authors have stated that many parents choose attachment parenting as part of an individualization strategy and as a statement of personal identity and of social affiliation.
The Sears encourage some of these practices explicitly, for example non-smoking, healthy and home-prepared food, no circumcision, but don't comment on how they are supposed to be linked to the core ideas of attachment parenting.
Any form of intensive, obsessive mothering has, as Katha Pollitt stated, devastating consequences for the equality of treatment of women in the society.
In France, Élisabeth Badinter argued that over-parenting, obsession with washable diapers and organic, home made infant food, and parenting practices as the ones recommended by Sears, with breastfeeding into toddlerhood, bring women inevitably back into outdated patterns of gender role.
Still, gynecologist Amy Tuteur (formerly Harvard Medical School) stated that attachment parenting amounts to a new subjection of the woman's body under social control – a trend that is more than questionable in the face to the hard-fought achievements of women's movement.
As Erica Jong observed, the rise of attachment parenting followed a surge of glamourized motherhood of popular stars (Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Gisele Bündchen) in the mass media.
Hays saw the motives for the overloading of motherhood in the idealistic endeavor to cure an overly egoistical and competitive society through a counterbalancing principle of altruistic motherliness.
In 2014, a team of researchers at the University of Mary Washington showed in a study that mothers endorsing the belief that parenting is challenging (e.g.
Sears has claimed infants have a natural preference for a mother in the early years; although, little scientific literature actually supports this conjecture since these studies are typically done in situations were the mother is the primary caregiver and not the father.
Breastfeeding includes nutritional benefits which are undeniable, but the main reason breastfeeding is promoted in attachment parenting is for the mother-child bonding through skin to skin contact and intimacy; however, the benefits of skin to skin contact and intimacy are still present for fathers.
Dr. Sigmund Freud theorized that infants tend to prefer mothers since it is the mother who fulfill's the infant's oral needs; however, if the father is fulfilling this need, it would be reasonable to assume that attachment would form with the father.
A free nerve ending (FNE) or bare nerve ending, is an unspecialized, afferent nerve fiber sending its signal to a sensory neuron.
The title refers to elements of the subconscious which unfold through the story and are eventually manifested as a fantastic mythical creature: a manticore.
Multimodal perception is the ability of the mammalian nervous system to combine all of the different inputs of the sensory nervous system to result in an enhanced detection or identification of a particular stimulus.
Multimodal perception is not limited to one area of the brain: many brain regions are activated when sensory information is perceived from the environment.
In fact, the hypothesis of having a centralized multisensory region is receiving continually more speculation, as several regions previously uninvestigated are now considered multimodal.
The reasons behind this are currently being investigated by several research groups, but it is now understood to approach these issues from a decentralized theoretical perspective.
Moreover, several labs using invertebrate model organisms will provide invaluable information to the community as these are more easily studied and are considered to have decentralized nervous systems.
When sounds are matched or mismatched with the movements of the lips, temporal sulcus of the left hemisphere becomes more active.
Integration effect is applied when the brain detects weak unimodal signals and combines them to create a multimodal perception for the mammal.
The stimulus modality for vision is light; the human eye is able to access only a limited section of the electromagnetic spectrum, between 380 and 760 nanometres.
Specific inhibitory responses that take place in the visual cortex help create a visual focus on a specific point rather than the entire surrounding.
When a particle of light hits the photoreceptors of the eye, the two molecules come apart from each other and a chain of chemical reactions occurs.
The chemical reaction begins with the photoreceptor sending a message to a neuron called the bipolar cell through the use of an action potential, or nerve impulse.
The eye is able to detect a visual stimulus when the photons (light packets) cause a photopigment molecule, primarily rhodopsin, to come apart.
When entering a dark room after being in a well lit area, the eyes require time for a good quantity of rhodopsin to regenerate.
As more time passes, there is a higher chance that the photons will split an unbleached photopigment because the rate of regeneration will have surpassed the rate of bleaching.
Humans are able to see an array of colours because light in the visible spectrum is made up of different wavelengths (from 380 to 760 nm).
The three cones are each specialized to best pick up a certain wavelength (420, 530 and 560 nm or roughly the colours blue, green and red).
The brain is able to distinguish the wavelength and colour in the field of vision by figuring out which cone has been stimulated.
According to Young, the human visual system is able to create any colour through the collection of information from the three cones.
The system will put together the information and systematize a new colour based on the amount of each hue that has been detected.
In a 1992 study Krosnick, Betz, Jussim and Lynn conducted a study where participants were shown a series of slides in which different people were going through normal every day activities (i.e.
a bucket of snakes, a face on fire) for a period 13 milliseconds that participants consciously perceived as a sudden flash of light.
The experiment found that during the questionnaire round, participants were more likely to assign positive personality traits to those in the pictures that were preceded by the positive subliminal images and negative personality traits to those in the pictures that were preceded by the negative subliminal images.
Visual acuity tests are the most common tests and they measure the ability to bring details into focus at different distances.
These conditions occur when the light rays entering the eye are unable to converge on a single spot on the retina.
In healthy normal vision, an individual should be able to partially perceive objects to the left or right of their field of view using both eyes at one time.
This test is also used as an important step in some job screening processes as the ability to see colour in such jobs may be crucial.
As an object vibrates, it compresses the surrounding molecules of air as it moves towards a given point and expands the molecules as it moves away from the point.
Humans, on average, are able to detect sounds as pitched when they contain periodic or quasi-periodic variations that fall between the range of 30 to 20000 hertz.
This opening allows the vibrations to move through the liquid in the cochlea where the receptive organ is able to sense it.
The human ear is able to detect differences in pitch through the movement of auditory hair cells found on the basilar membrane.
High frequency sounds will stimulate the auditory hair cells at the base of the basilar membrane while medium frequency sounds cause vibrations of auditory hair cells located at the middle of the basilar membrane.
For frequencies that are lower than 200 Hz, the tip of the basilar membrane vibrates in sync with the sound waves.
When a louder sound is heard, more hair cells are stimulated and the intensity of firing of axons in the cochlear nerve is increased.
However, because the rate of firing also defines low pitch the brain has an alternate way of encoding for loudness of low frequency sounds.
Timbre allows us to hear the difference between two instruments that are playing at the same frequency and loudness, for example.
In a series of 214 tests conducted on 7 pregnant women, a reliable increase in fetal movement was detected in the minute directly following the application of a sound stimulus to the abdomen of the mother with a frequency of 120 per second.
Hearing tests are administered to ensure optimal function of the ear and to observe whether or not sound stimuli is entering the ear drum and reaching the brain as should be.
Some hearing tests include the whispered speech test, pure tone audiometry, the tuning fork test, speech reception and word recognition tests, otoacoustic emissions (OAE) test and auditory brainstem response (ABR) test.
The tester will then step back 1 to 2 feet behind the participant and say a series of words in a soft whisper.
If the participant is unable to distinguish the word, the tester will speak progressively louder until the participant is able to understand what is being said.
The test will play with the volume controls and the participant is asked to signal when he or she can no longer hear the tone being played.
The spondee threshold test is a related test that detects the loudness at which the participant is able to repeat half of a list of two syllable words or spondees.
A microphone placed in the baby's ear canal will pick up the inner ear's response to sound stimulation and allows for observation.
The ABR, also known as the brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) test or auditory brainstem evoked potential (ABEP) test measure the brain's response to clicking sounds sent through headphones.
The number of taste receptors in a mammalian tongue and on the tongue of the fly (labellum) is same in amount.
Different modalities help determine perception of taste especially when attention is drawn to particular sensory characteristics which is different from taste.
There are 20 cold points per square centimeter in the lips, 4 in the finger, and less than 1 cold point per square centimeter in trunk areas.
The environment acts as an external stimulus, and tactile perception is the act of passively exploring the world to simply sense it.
To make sense of the stimuli, an organism will undergo active exploration, or haptic perception, by moving their hands or other areas with environment-skin contact.
Tactile stimulation can be direct in the form of bodily contact, or indirect through the use of a tool or probe.
Tactual perception gives information regarding cutaneous stimuli (pressure, vibration, and temperature), kinaesthetic stimuli (limb movement), and proprioceptive stimuli (position of the body).
There are varying degrees of tactual sensitivity and thresholds, both between individuals and between different time periods in an individual's life.
This may be due to callouses forming on the skin of the most used hand, creating a buffer between the stimulus and the receptor.
Alternately, the difference in sensitivity may be due to a difference in the cerebral functions or ability of the left and right hemisphere.
Tests have also shown that deaf children have a greater degree of tactile sensitivity than that of children with normal hearing ability, and that girls generally have a greater degree of sensitivity than that of boys.
The response from a mechanoreceptor detecting pressure can be experienced as a touch, discomfort, or pain, and the force of pressure is measured by a pressure algometer and a dolorimeter.
The axons of these single tactile receptors will converge into a single nerve trunk, and the signal is then sent to the spinal cord where the message makes its way to the somatosensory systems in the brain.
There are four types of mechanoreceptors: Meissner corpuscles and merkel cell neurite complexes, located between the epidermis and dermis, and Pacinian corpuscles and Ruffini endings, located deep within the dermis and subcutaneous tissue.
This is the smallest separation of two points at which two distinct points of contact can be sensed rather than one.
Different parts of the body have different degrees of tactile acuity, with extremities such as the fingers, face, and toes being the most sensitive.
The physical stimulus perceived through prompting is similar to the physical stimulus that would be experienced in a real-world situation, and is makes the target behavior more likely in a real situation.
Inside the nasal chambers is the neuroepithelium, a lining deep within the nostrils that contains the receptors responsible for detecting molecules that are small enough to smell.
These receptor neurons then synapse at the olfactory cranial nerve (CN I), which sends the information to the olfactory bulbs in the brain for initial processing.
Studies have shown that an odor coupled with a taste increases the perceived intensity of the taste, and that an absence of a corresponding smell decreases the perceived intensity of a taste.
The dual perception of the stimulus produces an interaction that facilitates association of the experience through an additive neural response and memorization of the stimulus.
Of these three odors, two are the same and one is different, and the participant must choose which odor is the unique one.
In this method, the odor's concentration is increased until the participant is able to sense it, and subsequently decreased until the participant reports no sensation.
Sfar was born in Nice, the son of Lilou, a pop singer, who died when he was three, and André Sfar, a lawyer well known for prosecuting Neo-Nazis.
As a result of his mother's early death, Sfar was raised by his father and maternal grandfather, a military doctor of Ukrainian origin in the Alsace-Lorraine Independent Brigade (France) during World War II.
Sfar's grandfather reportedly saved the right hand of the brigade's leader, novelist André Malraux, for which he was awarded French citizenship.
A wildly prolific artist, he is considered one of the most important artists of the new wave of Franco-Belgian comics, though he has rejected the assertion that he, along with artists like Christophe Blain, Marjane Satrapi, and Lewis Trondheim, sought to create an alternative scene or a new movement in comics.
Sfar is the son of Jewish parents (an Ashkenazi mother whose family was from Ukraine and a Sephardic father from Algeria).
His main influences are Fred and André Franquin as well as Marc Chagall, Chaim Soutine, Will Eisner, Hugo Pratt and John Buscema.
The film, which draws substantially on Sfar's abilities as a comic book artist through its extensive use of fantasy artwork, animation and puppetry, was released in 2010 to general critical acclaim.
The Rural Electrification Act of 1936, enacted on May 20, 1936, provided federal loans for the installation of electrical distribution systems to serve isolated rural areas of the United States.
These member-owned cooperatives purchased power on a wholesale basis and distributed it using their own network of transmission and distribution lines.
At the time the Rural Electrification Act was passed, electricity was commonplace in cities but largely unavailable in farms, ranches, and other rural places.
Representative John E. Rankin and Senator George William Norris were supporters of the Rural Electrification Act, which was signed into law by Roosevelt on May 20, 1936.
Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn was a major proponent of the REA, which he helped pass in 1936 as Chairman of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee.
He proudly stated in 1959 that ninety percent of farm homes in the U.S. were electrified, compared to three percent in the early 1930s.
Many of these original installations still exist today, though most have been augmented to support a greater number and variety of appliances.
These ships are intended to sustain 160 sorties per day for 30-plus days, with a surge capability of 270 sorties per day.
The endurance of this class is exemplified by , which spent 159 days underway during Operation Enduring Freedom without visiting a port or being refueled.
Major design changes include a larger flight deck, improvements in weapons and material handling, a new propulsion plant design that requires fewer people to operate and maintain, and a new, smaller island that has been pushed aft.
Technological advances in electromagnetics have led to the development of an Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and an Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG).
An integrated warfare system, the Ship Self-Defense System (SSDS), has been developed to allow the ship to more easily take on new missions.
Several sections have been altered to improve aircraft handling, storage, and flow, all in the service of increasing the sortie rate.
This shift creates deck space for a centralized rearming and refueling location, and thereby reduces the number of times that an aircraft will have to be moved after landing before it can be relaunched.
Fewer aircraft movements require, in turn, fewer deck hands to accomplish them, reducing the size of the ship's crew and increasing sortie rate.
As well, the movement of weapons from storage and assembly to the aircraft on the flight deck has been streamlined and accelerated.
These elevators are located so that ordnance need not cross any areas of aircraft movement, thereby reducing traffic problems in the hangars and on the flight deck.
These improvements lead to simpler construction, reduced maintenance, and lower manpower requirements as well as to a more compact system that requires less space in the ship.
The modernization of the plant led to a higher core energy density, lower demands for pumping power, a simpler construction, and the use of modern electronic controls and displays.
Only half of the electric power generation capacity is used by currently planned systems, with half remaining available for future technologies.
EMALS' improved control will enable it to launch both heavier and lighter aircraft than the steam catapult and will reduce the stress on airframes, resulting in less maintenance and longer lifetimes for the aircraft.
While the hydraulic system is effective, as demonstrated by more than fifty years of implementation, the AAG system offers a number of improvements.
The current system is unable to capture unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) without damaging them due to extreme stresses on the airframe.
Even though the system will look the same from the flight deck as its predecessor, it will be more flexible, safe, and reliable, and will require less maintenance and manning.
The DBR works by combining the X band AN/SPY-3 multifunction radar with the S band Volume Search Radar (VSR) emitters, distributed into three phased arrays.
The three faces dedicated to the X-band radar handle low-altitude tracking and radar illumination, while the three S-band faces handle target search and tracking regardless of weather.
The AN/SPY-3 consists of three active arrays and the Receiver/Exciter (REX) cabinets abovedecks and the Signal and Data Processor (SDP) subsystem below-decks.
The DBR gets its power from the Common Array Power System (CAPS), which comprises Power Conversion Units (PCUs) and Power Distribution Units (PDUs).
The radar's noise characteristics support the high clutter cancellation requirements required in the broad range of maritime operating environments that DBR will likely encounter.
The receiver has both narrow band and wideband channels, as well as multichannel capabilities to support monopulse radar processing and side lobe blanking.
The high-performance COTS servers perform signal analysis using radar and digital signal processing techniques, including channel equalization, clutter filtering, Doppler processing, impulse editing, and implementation of a variety of advanced electronic protect algorithms.
The DP contains the resource manager, the tracker, and the command and control processor, which processes commands from the combat system.
The DBR utilizes a multi-tier, dual-band tracker, which consists of a local X band tracker, a local S band tracker, and a central tracker.
The X band tracker is optimized for low latency to support its mission of providing defense against fast, low-flying missiles, while the VSR tracker is optimized for throughput due to the large-volume search area coverage requirements.
The system uses information about the current environment and doctrine from the combat system to make automated decisions, not only reducing reaction times, but also reducing the risks associated with human error.
The EASR suite's initial per-unit cost will be about $180 million less than the DBR, for which the estimate is about $500 million.
The carrier will be armed with the Raytheon Evolved Sea Sparrow missile (ESSM), which defends against high-speed, highly maneuverable anti-ship missiles.
Co-developed with the Carderock Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, PyroGenesis Canada Inc., was in 2008 awarded the contract to outfit the ship with a Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System (PAWDS).
After having completed factory acceptance testing in Montreal, the system was scheduled to be shipped to the Huntington Ingalls shipyard in late 2011 for installation on the carrier.
This modeling enabled the rooms within the ship to be modular, so that future upgrades can be implemented by designers simply by swapping a box in and locking it down.
Sailors would use motorized carts to move the weapons from storage to the elevators at different levels of the weapons magazines.
The redesign of the weapons movement paths and the location of the weapons elevators on the flight deck will reduce manpower and contribute to a much higher sortie generation rate.
These integration activities include testing the F-35C with CVN-78's EMALS and advanced arresting gear system and testing the ship's storage capabilities for the F-35C's lithium-ion batteries (which provide start-up and back-up power), tires, and wheels.
As a result of F-35C developmental delays, the US Navy will not field the aircraft until at least 2018—one year after CVN-78 delivery.
As a result, the Navy has deferred critical F-35C integration activities, which introduces risk of system incompatibilities and costly retrofits to the ship after it is delivered to the Navy.
Each berthing has an associated head, including showers, vacuum-powered septic-system toilets (no urinals since the berthings are built gender-neutral) and sinks to reduce travel and traffic to access those facilities.
The carrier was assembled at Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries (formerly Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding) in Newport News, Virginia.
In 2013, the life-cycle cost per operating day of a carrier strike group (including aircraft) was estimated at $6.5 million by the Center for New American Security.
That changed in December 2016, when Navy Secretary Ray Mabus signed a Force Structure Assessment calling for a 355-ship fleet with 12 aircraft carriers.
As construction of CVN-78 progressed, the shipbuilder discovered first-of-class type design changes, which it will use to update the model before the construction of the remaining vessels of its class.
According to the Navy, many of these 19,000 changes were programmed into the construction schedule early on—a result of the government's decision at contract award to introduce improvements during construction to the ship's warfare systems, which are heavily dependent on evolving commercial technologies.
On 20 January 2020, Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas B. Modly will name a future Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier in honor of World War II hero Ship’s Cook First Class Doris Miller during a ceremony in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
This will be the first aircraft carrier ever named for an African American, and the first aircraft carrier to be named for a sailor in the enlisted ranks.
This will be the second ship named in honor of Miller, who was the first African American to be awarded the Navy Cross.
BBC Radio Humberside is a BBC Local Radio service covering the area of the former English county of Humberside, which was returned to North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire the East Riding of Yorkshire and the City of Kingston upon Hull on 1 April 1996.
On the first night of broadcasting, many West Yorkshire rugby league fans were disappointed when the relatively powerful High Hunsley transmitter signal was heard instead of Radio Leeds, so all they heard was a commentary of Hull KR v Widnes instead of football.
In line with the other BBC local stations in the area, BBC Radio Humberside was part of the BBC Night Network when it was formed in May 1989, providing the station with regular evening, albeit regional rather than local, programming for the first time.
Before this, the station generally stopped broadcasting at around 6 pm, and handed over to BBC Radio 2 which was carried on the station's frequencies until the following morning although for the three years before the launch of Night Network, Radio Humberside had broadcast the Yorkshire-wide early evening specialist music programmes which were also carried on Radios York, Leeds and Sheffield.
BBC Radio Humberside broadcasts to East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire on 95.9 FM (High Hunsley), DAB, channel 721 on Freeview, and on the BBC website via the Internet.
The FM transmitter, between Beverley and South Cave 500 ft. up on the Yorkshire Wolds is quite powerful over the relatively flat surrounding area being heard clearly in most of South Yorkshire as well.
The signal reaches right across to the highest point of the M62 near junction 22 with the A672, the highest point of the A66, much of Lincolnshire, and as far south as Nottingham on the M1, near the Trowell service station and Newark.
It also broadcasts Viking FM on 96.9 FM (Radio Humberside's old frequency), Capital Yorkshire on 105.8 FM and BBC National DAB (since 20 April 2006).
The DAB signals come from the Bauer Humberside 10D multiplex from three transmitters at Cave Wold (most powerful, three miles south of High Hunsley, and a BT microwave transmitter, Buckton Barn (Bridlington, also has Yorkshire Coast Radio on 102.4) and Bevan Flats (Grimsby, also transmits Compass FM on 96.4).
As of August 2005, the station began using a custom made package featuring the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, it was produced by S2blue in Staffordshire.
In 2010 the idents package was completely refreshed by S2Blue, introducing new rhythm tracks to the 2005 package, new instrumentation across the whole set and a raft of new cuts, all keeping the same memorable logo.
BBC Radio Humberside carries travel bulletins every 30 minutes (every 15 minutes during Breakfast and Drive) from INTRIX Travel Media, also used by commercial stations including KCFM and community station West Hull FM.
During off-peak hours, BBC Radio Humberside carries regional programming for Yorkshire and the North Midlands, produced from sister stations BBC Radio Leeds and BBC Radio Sheffield.
The station broadcasts across Greater London and beyond, on the 94.9 FM frequency, DAB, Virgin Media Channel 937, Sky Channel 0152 (in the London area only), Freeview Channel 721 and online.
While previous incarnations of the station offered a more diverse range of programmes for London's various ethnic, religious, social and cultural communities, specialist programming now remains in a smaller form and is mostly broadcast during weekends.
Local radio arrived in London as part of the second wave of BBC local stations, following a successful pilot project headed by Frank Gillard, who on visiting the United States discovered local radio stations of varying formats and was to bring this concept to Britain.
Test transmissions for the new local radio station were carried out from Wrotham, Kent, on 95.3 MHz in FM mono, relaying BBC Radio 1 (at the time broadcast only on medium wave), with several announcements informing listeners of the new service.
On 6 October 1970 BBC Radio London was launched, three years before commercial radio for Greater London in the guise of LBC.
BBC Radio London was the local station for the capital, although in the early days it relied heavily on news reports from other stations in the BBC network and often shared programming with BBC Radio 2.
It took on a fairly lively sound and featured (as it does to this day) extensive traffic reports, phone-in programmes — it pioneered the daily phone-in in the UK — and much contemporary and middle-of-the-road music.
For several months after launch the station was not able to play commercial records as no agreement had been reached over so-called needle time, which led to London listeners becoming acquainted with broadcast library music from outside the UK (notably the Canadian Talent Library) and music from film soundtracks.
Listeners were invited to choose a Christmas carol or hymn while a Salvation Army brass band stood by in the studio to play their request live.
As soon as Independent Local Radio stations LBC and Capital Radio went on air, public attention to Radio London declined, with the station attempting to copy both.
This move was unpopular with employed staff, who thought it very un-hip, and politicians who would question the need for a local radio station to sound like the two music-based BBC national networks.
The programme helped to develop on-air talent from London's Afro-Caribbean community, namely Juliet Alexander, Syd Burke and Mike Phillips and was the pioneering programme on television or radio to regularly speak to Black Londoners.
This was where Dave Pearce, later of BBC Radio 1 fame, made his first regular appearances as a BBC DJ (Monday night programme 'A fresh start to the week').
Two of the station's producers, Guy Hornsby (Tony Blackburn) and Mike Gray (RobbieTalk:BBC London 94.9 Vincent Telephone Programme), went on to create the ground-breaking commercial dance stations Kiss 102 and Kiss 105, which recaptured the somewhat anarchic spirit of BBC Radio London in its mid-1980s heyday to great audience and commercial success.
Immediately after closedown at 7pm, test transmissions began for the next 17 days, preparing for a new radio station for London.
Its pre-launch announcements stated in no uncertain terms that GLR was to be radically different in style promising the fastest news, traffic and travel news every 20 minutes and the best music mix.
Bannister, from Capital Radio, favoured a young, racy, news and speech format, miles away from the typically stuffy BBC Local Radio sound.
The station was aimed at 25- to 45-year-olds, who perhaps grew up with Radio 1, but now wanted to be intelligently informed about the city in which they live, and the world in general.
The music mix was best described as Adult album alternative, though indie bands such as The Wonder Stuff were also played.
Chris Evans took on a variety of roles on GLR, often presenting a weekend show, ending in 1993 as his media career took off.
Danny Baker has had a long association with the station, presenting Weekend Breakfast from 1989 to 1990 and then returned to present a Sunday morning show from 1996 to 1998.
Janice Long presented the Breakfast show on the station from 1989 to 1991, and Kevin Greening started as a producer in 1989, before becoming a presenter of the Breakfast show with Jeremy Nicholas in 1991.
In 1989 GLR set up a youth-based radio training facility at Vauxhall College, SW8, which was followed with a second course based at White City, W12.
One unique aspect of GLR was the ability to access directly Scotland Yard's network of traffic cameras across London's busiest streets.
Three years into the newly relaunched station the station was given an additional three years to prove itself to its audience by senior BBC management or close for good: this threat was also applied to its other metropolitan BBC Local Radio stations BBC WM in Birmingham and Manchester's BBC GMR.
In 1993 GLR was forced to relinquish its 1458 kHz medium wave frequency, for a new commercial radio station which was eventually won by Sunrise Radio.
Steve Panton, formerly Managing Editor of BBC Radio Solent, took over and GLR limped on with a small listener base, but its music policy gained a cult following, particularly among its younger adult listeners.
One of its noted DJs on-air at the time was Gary Crowley, who had a weekend show which regularly showcased new and unsigned bands, often not getting much airplay on commercial radio stations, and to a lesser extent, Radio 1.
In 1999, following a consultation exercise on local broadcasting in the South East, the BBC decided to rebrand GLR and substantially change the programming.
In particular those opposed to the changes argued that the BBC never organised a public meeting in London as part of the consultation exercise and, when one was organised by supporters of the station, no one involved in the consultation exercise attended.
Although the campaign was unsuccessful in saving GLR, and the rebranding went ahead the next year, it demonstrated the existence of a loyal audience for its format.
GLR's music format, and several of its presenters, returned to the BBC with the launch of the national digital station BBC Radio 6 Music in 2002.
Facing even more public criticism over GLR's position in the London radio market and its very low listening reach, the station was relaunched on 25 March 2000 as BBC London Live 94.9 in a blaze of publicity.
Promising even more speech and less music, London Live — originally the title for GLR's lunch-time news show (presented by Charles Carroll, now on BBC Radio 2) — was launched with new on-air personalities and new shows, including a speech-heavy breakfast show and a mid-morning phone-in and debate.
The re-launch at the time was promoted by huge billboards and television spots on BBC Newsroom South East depicting London's famous landmarks as radio paraphernalia (a woman seen raising Big Ben as a radio aerial, for example).
Leading the relaunch was Station Director David Robey, who hired such personalities as Lisa I'Anson, Vanessa Feltz, Tom Watt and various black presenters including Eddie Nestor and Dotun Adebayo.
Specialist programmes for the Black community emerged at the weekends along with sports coverage and alternative music shows in the evening.
BBC London also saw the return of Tony Blackburn on Saturdays, more than 20 years since he first appeared on the station.
Additional coverage for football was made possible through a combination of its DAB Digital Radio platform, on Sky channel 0152 and on a BBC Essex transmitter 765 kHz medium wave (for West Ham commentaries).
BBC London 94.9 was the first BBC Local Radio to air a 24-hour live-stream online, which coincided with the 2001 re-launch.
It also aired on DAB Digital Radio in July 2000 and on Sky (channel 0152) in 2005 in the London area but it can be accessed within the UK and Ireland by manual tuning.
RAJAR data, the audience measurement system in the UK, showed that BBC London 94.9 audience reach for the second quarter in 2014 was 572,000, which is its largest since the station rebranded as BBC London 94.9..
It was determined to contain the bones of at least seven individuals, including an adult measuring about , four juveniles and a hatchling about long.
Examination of the fossils are ongoing after a decade of excavation, but if Kirkland is correct, it may be one of the best preserved predator traps ever discovered.
More concrete answers may yet come to light once crowdfunding efforts to employ professional excavator, Utahraptor Project leader Scott Madsen, are completed.
2009) is estimated to have reached up to long and somewhat less than in weight, comparable to a polar bear in size.
In 2016 Rubén Molina-Pérez and Asier Larramendi estimated the largest specimen (BYU 15465) at 4.65 m (15.2 f) long, tall at the hips and .
For instance, some elements were wrongly referred to the genus; the lacrimal bone of the specimen CEU 184v.83 turned out to be a postorbital from the ankylosaur Gastonia.
also suggested that the previously identified manual unguals of the specimens CEU 184v.294, BYU 9438 and BYU 13068 are indeed pedal unguals.
Like other dromaeosaurine dromaeosaurids, it may have also relied heavily on its jaws to dispatch prey—more so than other types of dromaeosaurids, such as velociraptorines.
Sames and Schudack 2010 proposed a reassignment of the estimated age, compromising Berriasian to Valanginian stages, however, this interpretation wasn't followed by most authors.
The deposition occurred between 139 ± 1.3 million to 134.6 ± 1.7 million years ago, or, Berriasian to Late Valanginian stages.
This is supported by the presence of charred spores and other carbonized plant debris in the pollen maceral that indicate the occurrence of ancient wildfires ignited during periods of low precipitation.
Written by paleontologist Robert T. Bakker, it was positively regarded by mainstream reviewers, though updates to the science have rendered some of the story line facts presented untrue and the paleontology community was critical of fossil record inaccuracies.
The practice of dual heads of government (diarchy) is derived directly from the customs of the Roman Republic, equivalent to the consuls of ancient Rome.
The establishment of the regency took place during the first half of the 13th century, when they had the role of managing justice, a task similar to competence of magistrates.
The first two known consuls were elected on 12 December 1243 by the Grand and General Council with a six-month term which is still used today.
One usually belonged to the upper class, to guarantee the possession of skills necessary to govern the Republic with competence, and one to the working class.
On 1 April 2017, for the first time two women, Vanessa D'Ambrosio and Mimma Zavoli, concurrently occupied the posts of captains regent, until their term ended on 1 October 2017.
As of 1 October 2019, after electing its 17th female captain regent, San Marino is the country with most female heads of state in the world (however, many other countries have had a female head of state for longer than the combined 8 years of these 17 captains regent).
The captains regent are elected every six months by the Grand and General Council, and they usually belong to opposite parties to grant a minimal amount of balance and an equal supervision.
The pair is elected if it achieves an absolute majority; there is a second ballot if no pair gets enough votes.
The captains regent are the Head of state, a function which they carry out as a single body, with a reciprocal right of veto.
The captains regent are impartial and their power is mainly symbolic, as their main duty is to represent the country and to guarantee the constitutional order.
They supervise the Grand and General Council, the Congress of State, and the Council of XII but without any right to vote or to decide.
The captains regent also have the power to promulgate and order the publication of the laws approved by the Grand and General Council.
The captains regent cannot be prosecuted in any way during their mandate, at the end of which they are subject to the Regency Syndicate.
This judgement, established by the Statues in 1499, is now fulfilled by the Guarantors’ Panel on the Constitutionality of Rules, following the revision of the Declaration on the Citizens’ Rights.
Brominated vegetable oil (BVO) is a complex mixture of plant-derived triglycerides that have been reacted to contain atoms of the element bromine bonded to the molecules.
Brominated vegetable oil has been used by the soft drink industry since 1931, generally at a level of about 8 ppm.
Careful control of the type of oil used allows bromination of it to produce BVO with a specific density of 1.33 g/mL, which is noticeably greater than that of water (1 g/mL).
As a result, it can be mixed with less-dense flavoring agents such as citrus flavor oil to produce a resulting oil, the density of which matches that of water or other products.
Alternative food additives used for the same purpose include sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB, E444) and glycerol ester of wood rosin (ester gum, E445).
In the United States, BVO was designated in 1958 as generally recognized as safe (GRAS), but this was withdrawn by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1970.
The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations currently imposes restrictions on the use of BVO as a food additive in the United States, limiting the concentration to 15 ppm, limiting the amount of free fatty acids to 2.5 percent, and limiting the iodine value to 16.
BVO is one of four substances that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has defined as interim food additives; the other three are acrylonitrile copolymers, mannitol, and saccharin.
An online petition at Change.org asking PepsiCo to stop adding BVO to Gatorade and other products collected over 200,000 signatures by January 2013.
The petition pointed out that since Gatorade is sold in countries where BVO is not approved, there is already an existing formulation without this ingredient.
PepsiCo announced in January 2013, that it would no longer use BVO in Gatorade, and announced May 5, 2014, that it would discontinue use in all of its drinks, including Mountain Dew.
In the EU, beverage companies commonly use glycerol ester of wood rosin or locust bean gum as an alternative to BVO.
One case reported that a man who consumed two to four liters of a soda containing BVO on a daily basis experienced memory loss, tremors, fatigue, loss of muscle coordination, headache, and ptosis of the right eyelid, as well as elevated serum chloride.
Rather, cell mediated immunity is the activation of phagocytes, antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to antigen.
Historically, the immune system was separated into two branches: humoral immunity, for which the protective function of immunization could be found in the humor (cell-free bodily fluid or serum) and cellular immunity, for which the protective function of immunization was associated with cells.
Naive T cells, mature T cells that have yet to encounter an antigen, are converted into activated effector T cells after encountering antigen-presenting cells (APCs).
These APCs, such as macrophages, dendritic cells, and B cells in some circumstances, load antigenic peptides onto the MHC of the cell, in turn presenting the peptide to receptors on T cells.
Activated Effector T cells can be placed into three functioning classes, detecting peptide antigens originating from various types of pathogen: The first class being 1) Cytotoxic T cells, which kill infected target cells by apoptosis without using cytokines, 2) TH1 cells, which primarily function to activate macrophages, and 3) TH2 cells, which primarily function to stimulate B cells into producing antibodies.
Josiah Strong was one of the founders of the Social Gospel movement that sought to apply Protestant religious principles to solve the social ills brought on by industrialization, urbanization and immigration.
Strong, like most other leaders of the Social Gospel movement, added strong evangelical roots, including a belief in sin and redemption.
Strong, like Walter Rauschenbusch and George D. Herron had an intense conversion experience and believed that regeneration was necessary to bring social justice by combating social sin.
When the work appeared, Protestants had long been accustomed to meeting the sorts of perils that Strong saw threatening the country's survival, Christianization, and world greatness.
It was a tradition that helped ensure the end of slavery in defense of the Union during the Civil War, while also predisposing many northern Protestants to look past, if not entirely forget, the ex-slaves following the war.
Conservative Protestants, by contrast, argued that missionaries should spend their time preaching the Gospel; they allowed for charitable activity, but argued that it did not actually save souls.
The large increase in immigration during this period led him to conclude that the perils he outlined in the first edition had only grown.
Nearly all of the civil liberty of the world is enjoyed by Anglo-Saxons: the English, the British colonists, and the people of the United States.
Revealed in March 2003, it was released across Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox and Microsoft Windows in November 2003.
During the attack, the Prince obtains an artifact called the Dagger of Time, while his army captures an hourglass containing the Sands of Time.
Visiting Azad to present the Sands as a gift to the city's ruler, the Vizier tricks the Prince into releasing the Sands, transforming the city's population into savage monsters.
A key mechanic in the game is using the Dagger to rewind time if the Prince makes a mistake platforming, and using it to kill and freeze enemies.
After the initial story draft was scrapped as it was too complex, the team began with four guiding concepts, including the ability to rewind time: this idea grew into the Dagger, the Sands, and the various powers related to them.
Production was troubled, with the team facing problems with the engine structure and delays with environment assets, while also managing to create an effective tester network to seek out the game's bugs.
Upon release, it received critical acclaim, was nominated for, and won numerous awards and has been recognized by many as one of the greatest video games of all time.
The Prince can be moved in all directions, and he is able to manipulate large objects such as blocks and levers connected to mechanisms.
During several points in the game, the Prince is assisted by his companion Farah, who fires a bow at enemies, though her arrows can also hit the Prince if he strays into her line of fire.
During exploration, the Prince navigates areas filled with traps: these traps include spike pits, arrow traps, wall-mounted blades and saws, and spinning spiked stakes.
The Prince's main contextual move is wall-running, an action where he runs up onto and along a wall for a set distance, either to land on or jump off to a platform.
The Prince's other acrobatic abilities include climbing along and across ledges, walking along beams, swinging on and jumping from poles, jumping onto and between pillars, and swinging on ropes.
A single command contextually triggered different moves depending on position and directional movement, while other special moves such as a somersault attack and bouncing off walls into enemies require additional commands.
The Sands the Prince collects from enemies and the environment are tied to his magical abilities, themselves connected with the Dagger.
The most basic power is Rewind, the ability for the Prince to rewind time by up to ten seconds if he makes a mistake in platforming or dies.
In combat, the Prince can also slow time immediately around him, freeze time for a single enemy, and freeze time completely so the Prince can attack his enemies at great speed while they are unable to move.
Each use of power uses up one Sand Tank, and when empty, all powers become inaccessible until more Sand is collected.
Starting out with a small amount of Sand available to him, its capacity can be increased by collecting Sand from enemies, along with Sand Clouds scattered around the palace.
The Rewind ability is still present to save the Prince's life, and is also involved in solving some puzzles and fighting bosses.
Farah is featured as a second playable character in some sections, with switching between the two being key to some puzzles.
The story is set in Persia during the 9th century AD, and begins with the Prince narrating to an unseen listener about his adventures.
The Vizier of a local Maharaja, wanting to prevent his death using a substance known as the Sands of Time, entices them into attacking the Maharaja's palace, where the Sands are stored.
During the fight, the Prince loots an artifact called the Dagger of Time, and the Maharaja's daughter Farah is taken as a gift for the Sultan of Azad.
Visiting Azad, the Vizier tricks the Prince into releasing the Sands, turning everyone but the Prince, the Vizier and Farah (protected by the Dagger, a staff and a medallion respectively) into monsters.
The Vizier attempts to seize the Dagger from the Prince, but he escapes and eventually allies with Farah to undo the damage he has caused and prevent the Sands from covering the world, even though he has doubts about her loyalties and motives.
After navigating the palace of Azad and reaching the hourglass of the Sands in the Tower of Dawn, the Prince hesitates when following Farah's instructions on containing the Sands, unsure of whether to trust her.
He follows her and only just manages to catch her as she is driven over a ledge above the hourglass by monsters.
Time rewinds to before the attack on the Maharaja's palace, and the Prince, still in possession of the Dagger and his memories, runs ahead to warn Farah of the Vizier's treachery.
It is now revealed that the Prince has been recounting his tale to Farah, and as he finishes, the Vizier enters to kill him.
After some mock assets had been created, Ubisoft asked Mechner to come and help develop the game, showing them their concepts and the assets as AVIs.
The game's title was thought up by the production team, but the original story built around the title proved impossible to work.
The original draft had nine characters (including the Prince, two love interests, two villains, and two helper characters) representing different political factions, and the setting of the Prince's own palace home instead of in another kingdom.
The Rewind mechanic began as a gameplay wish for the title, surviving the initial rewrite of the story and becoming key to both story and gameplay.
The initial concept was simply using the Dagger to rewind time and dispatch enemies, but its powers were gradually expanded into its current roster.
Elements such as using ladders as part of combat, and riding on a magic carpet or a horse were axed early in development.
Each time a new movement or ability was created for the Prince, it required adjustments to multiple other systems, as leaving them alone would have damaged the game.
They also needed to make adjustments to the enemy and partner artificial intelligence, and they did not have time to polish those systems.
Art director Raphael Lacoste did not join the team until July 2002, well into the game's production, resulting in multiple delays in creating the game's environments.
This issue was compounded by the need to produce a demo for the 2003 Electronic Entertainment Expo, then to deliver an entire game at the same if not a higher quality than the demo.
Each environment needed to work for the Prince's set of movements and abilities: the work needed involved checking each rewind sequence, and each of the Prince's movement in and effect on the environment worked.
In hindsight, producer Yannis Mallat lamented the fact that they did not have enough time to work out the problems caused by these issues.
A cited example was the team discovering a tester that was good at finding severe bugs, so they included her in one of their testing groups, giving her a development kit she could use to sort out those bugs.
Another element that needed to be cut after the demo was a griffin boss that would appear three times during the Prince's journey.
Using this as a base, they were able to focus on rapid integration of new elements into the game, and were also able to do quick testing and adjustments.
The way the engine was structured, with all assets in a single accessible folder, proved problematic when alterations needed to be made or new features added, as the team size meant too many people were accessing the engine and were causing data to be overwritten, files to be corrupted, and the whole system to crash.
Instead, they set up a file server to manage check-in times, which could allow for management of access and prioritisation of critical work.
The main scenario was based around second chances, while an unstated anti-war theme was also included by Mechner and showcased in the game's opening level.
Mechner created the Dagger of Time as a combined gameplay and narrative device within the four core concepts created by the team.
Mechner's main preoccupation for this new storyline was keeping the narrative simple and engaging, using his preferred writing style of keeping cutscenes short and working as much of the story as possible into the gameplay.
The three main characters he created were the hero (the Prince), the villain (the Vizier) and the love interest and sidekick (Farah).
Two non-playable authority figures (the Prince's father Shahraman and the Sultan of Azad) were included to add weight to the Prince's burden as they were transformed into monsters by the Sands.
The three artefacts each character used (the Dagger, Farah's medallion and the Vizier's staff) were created to explain their survival of the Sands' release, with the Dagger also becoming integral to gameplay.
It needed to be written to work on two levels: first to be understandable for first-time players, and to gain greater significance upon future playthroughs.
The narration also served to give gentle hints to the player, and expand upon the setting and add depth to the experience.
As part of the character interaction, Farah was deliberately designed not to be a perfect archer, sometimes hitting the Prince if he strayed into her line of fire.
Chatwood was chosen for the role as Ubisoft wanted music that had Persian elements in it to fit the setting, while not being pure Persian music.
For the sound effects, the team worked with sound company Dane Tracks to create most of the game's sound effects, with the rest being done by Ubisoft Montreal.
One of the unconventional choices made by the team was not to halt gameplay during in-game dialogue, meaning players could miss large portions of character interaction.
To help with voice recording, the recording team created a graph to help the actors playing the Prince and Farah time their exchanges correctly.
Aside from some exceptions which played in sequence, all comments made by Farah when the Prince did a specific thing were stand-alone responses.
The game was published in the region by Sony Computer Entertainment Japan, who were impressed by both the quality and the praise it earned in the west.
Europe accounted for 1.1 million sales by February 2004; worldwide sales rose to 2.4 million units by the end of March.
During its North American debut, the game suffered from poor sales: by December, the PS2 version had sold 218,000 copies, the Xbox version 128,000 copies, and the GameCube version 85,000 copies.
By July 2006, the game's PlayStation 2 version alone had sold 700,000 copies in North America, bringing an estimated revenue of $24 million.
The Game Boy Advance version garnered lower scores than the console and PC versions due to its scaled-down gameplay and presentation, but was still generally praised as a competent port of the game.
Reviewing the mobile version, IGN reviewer Levi Buchanan was impressed by the company's adaptation of the console game's basic actions and atmosphere, giving it a score of 9.5 out of 10.
1UP reviewer Corey Padnos was pleased with the Prince's acrobatic performance and the game's general performance, while lamenting the lack of the time-based mechanics of the main games and the lack of plot.
Aspects of its design, such as the relationship between the Prince and Farah, later provided inspiration for the 2008 series reboot.
Its critical and financial success led Ubisoft to request Ubisoft Montreal to develop a sequel, aiming for the next console generation.
Wolfenden started out at Oldham Athletic, his hometown club, before moving to Wales to play for Wrexham in the summer of 2009.
As a child, Wolfenden attended his hometown school and one of the best schools in the area, the Blue Coat School in Oldham.
His first senior goal for the club came nearly four years later when he scored in the second leg of a play-off semi-final defeat to Blackpool on 19 May 2007.
Following his release, Wolfenden signed for Football Conference side Wrexham, after impressing in pre-season friendlies against Preston North End and Carlton Town.
He made his debut for the club on 8 August 2009 in a 3–0 win over Eastbourne Borough on the opening day of the 2009–10 season.
At the height of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and 90s, the couple helped lead ACT-UP activists in a fight with the City of Montreal to create a permanent memorial to Quebecers who died of AIDS.
After several years trying to stop the grassroots efforts to create the memorial, city officials abandoned their fight in September 1994 and the 'Parc de l'Espoir' was built in the heart of Montreal's gay village.
The couple is also known for their advocacy of marriage equality in Canada and became the first same-sex couple to be legally married in Quebec.
In October 2019, at the age of 80, Hendricks found himself at the centre of a new battle with the City of Montreal for the Parc de l'Espoir.
Without consulting the gay community or HIV/AIDS service organizations, the city's Ville-Marie borough sent a Notice to Residents announcing it had developed plans to demolish the AIDS memorial and rebuild it with an entirely new design.
Hendricks and Leboeuf mobilized the community to attend the borough's Dec. 4 public meeting where officials were told repeatedly that they did not have their approval to make any changes to Parc de l'Espoir.
Hendricks, originally from New Jersey, came to Canada as a draft evader during the Vietnam War; he met Leboeuf, a native of Quebec City, at a New Year's party in the 1970s.
On December 7 of that year, the Quebec government announced its intention to bring in legislation to create civil unions to which same-sex couples would have access and which would afford a status equivalent to that of marriage.
It declared that the laws preventing same-sex marriage would become inoperative in Quebec in two years' time, constraining the federal government to act within that time.
Although the federal government announced that it would appeal the decision and other legal decisions regarding same-sex marriage, those appeals were later dropped on the recommendation of the House of Commons Justice Committee, which had held travelling hearings on same-sex marriage.
On January 26, 2004, Hendricks and Leboeuf appealed against the decision of the court in their case, specifically the delay of two years, in view of the rulings that had implemented same-sex marriage immediately in Ontario and British Columbia during the summer of 2003.
On March 19, the Quebec Court of Appeal struck down the delay and ruled that same-sex marriage licences be issued immediately.
The usual 20-day waiting period required between the issuance of a licence and the wedding was waived, and the couple were wed at the Palais de justice de Montréal on April 1, 2004, exactly three years after the first legal same-sex marriage in the Netherlands.
The local loopback mechanism may be used to run a network service on a host without requiring a physical network interface, or without making the service accessible from the networks the computer may be connected to.
However they can be used to set up multiple server applications on the host, all listening on the same port number.
The name may also be resolved by Domain Name System (DNS) servers, but queries for this name should be resolved locally, and should not be forwarded to remote name servers.
The IPv4 loopback addresses are reserved within the IPv4 address space by the IETF Special Use IPv4 Addresses standard (RFC 5735).
In contrast, the IETF IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture standard (RFC 4291) reserves the single IPv6 loopback address within the IPv6 address space.
The standard precludes the assignment of that address to any physical interface, as well as its use as the source or destination address in any packet sent to remote hosts.
Any such packet that is erroneously transmitted is not supposed to be routed, and should be dropped by all routers or hosts that receive it.
Such packets are never passed to any network interface controller (NIC) or hardware device driver and must not appear outside of a computing system, or be routed by any router.
Looped-back packets are distinguished from any other packets traversing the TCP/IP stack only by the special IP address they were addressed to.
For example, an HTTP service could route packets addressed to and to different Web servers, or to a single server that returns different web pages.
As with any other bogus packets, they may be malicious and any problems they might cause can be avoided by applying bogon filtering.
One notable exception to the use of the addresses is their use in Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) traceroute error detection, in which their property of not being routable provides a convenient means to avoid delivery of faulty packets to end users.
This is more efficient than the more traditional scheme of storing return addressed on a call stack, sometimes called a machine stack.
The link register does not require the writes and reads of the memory containing the stack which can save a considerable percentage of execution time with repeated calls of small subroutines.
The usage of a link register (or a general-purpose register, as is done in some other instruction set architectures) allows for faster calls to leaf subroutines.
When the subroutine is non-leaf, passing the return address in a register can still result in generation of more efficient code for thunks, e.g.
Other subroutines can benefit from the use of link register because it can be saved in a batch with other callee-used registers—e.g.
Antoni Pitxot (; Figueres, Girona, January 5, 1934 – June 12, 2015) was a Spanish Catalan painter and a longtime friend and collaborator of Salvador Dalí.
He began studying drawing at the age of thirteen, and he exhibited regularly in Lisbon, Bilbao, Barcelona, and Madrid in his twenties and thirties, winning many prizes, including the Gold Medal painting prize in Barcelona's La Punyalada competition in 1965.
At the beginning of the 1960s, he was a close friend of the French painter Maurice Boitel, who painted many pictures on the Pitxot family's property in Cadaqués, a small port town on the Mediterranean Sea near the French border, that was also painted by Pablo Picasso and André Derain.
In 1966, Pitxot took up permanent residence in Cadaqués, where his family had owned a summer house since the end of the 19th century.
He began to experiment with surrealism: in particular, he became focused on anthropomorphic figures composed of the stones that lined the seashores near his home.
Much of Pixtot's work is concerned with allegory and myth, including the figure of Mnemosyne, the mother of the nine muses who personified memory, and a series of works about The Tempest.
Pitxot and Dalí were nearly inseparable in the last years of Dalí's life: designing Dalí's museum, teaching art and exchanging ideas about their work.
Pitxot was a protector of Dalí's legacy after his death: He was a member of the board of the Gala Salvador Dalí Foundation, and he has led, and sat on the board, of several other Dalí foundations.
In the year 2000, he was appointed corresponding academician for Cadaqués of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Saint George.
In the 2004, he received the Gold Medal of Merit in Fine Arts from the King of Spain as a recognition for his work.
In sensory transduction, the afferent nerves transmit through a series of synapses in the central nervous system, first in the spinal cord or trigeminal nucleus, depending on the dermatomic area concerned.
Prime Cut is a 1972 American film produced by Joe Wizan and directed by Michael Ritchie, with a screenplay written by Robert Dillon.
The film stars Lee Marvin as a mob enforcer from the Chicago Irish Mob sent to Kansas to collect a debt from a meatpacker boss played by Gene Hackman.
It co-stars Sissy Spacek, in her first credited on-screen role as a young orphan being sold into prostitution, and Angel Tompkins.
The film was considered highly risqué for its time based on its violence and the hint of a homosexual relationship between two brothers.
It is also noted for its depiction of the beef slaughtering process and for a chase scene involving a combine harvester in an open field.
A wristwatch and a shoe appear on a conveyor line, making it clear that a human cadaver is processed among the cattle.
The particular sausages that Weenie was wrapping were made from the remains of an enforcer from the Chicago Irish Mob sent to Kansas City to collect $500,000 from Mary Ann.
After the head of the Irish Mob in Chicago receives the package, he contacts Nick Devlin, an enforcer with whom he has worked previously, to go to Kansas City to collect the debt.
He tells Devlin about the sausages and that another enforcer sent to Kansas City was found floating in the Missouri River.
He gets a driver and three other younger members of the Irish Mob as help, including the young O'Brien, who makes Devlin meet his mother as he leaves Chicago.
It is later revealed that Devlin and Mary Ann have a shared history involving Mary Ann's wife Clarabelle, who previously had an affair with Devlin.
The next day, Devlin and his men drive to the prairie and find Mary Ann in a barn, where he is entertaining guests at a white slave (prostitute) auction.
Devlin demands the money from Mary Ann, who tells him to come to the county fair the next day to get it.
As they are standing by a cattle pen with naked young women offered for auction, one of them, Poppy, begs Devlin for help.
Back at the hotel, she tells Devlin her history of growing up at an orphanage in Missouri with her close friend, Violet, before they were brought to the slave auction.
At the county fair, in the midst of a livestock judging competition, Mary Ann gives Devlin a box that supposedly contains the money.
Devlin and Poppy are saved by the arrival of Devlin's men in their car, which they abandon and let ram into the front of the combine.
When he returns to Weenie's hotel to look for him, he finds that Violet has been gang-raped, apparently as a warning of what will happen to Poppy.
They approach the farm through the field and engage in a long gun battle with Mary Ann's men, a seemingly infinite number of identical men wearing bib overalls.
Unable to get past Mary Ann's men, he stops a truck hauling livestock, commandeers it and uses it to ram the gate and smash into the greenhouse on the farm, demolishing it.
Devlin kills several of Mary Ann's men, then advances into the barn where Mary Ann and his brother are holding Poppy.
From behind an apparently bulletproof bale of hay, he hits Mary Ann, who falls seriously injured down into a pig pen.
In the final scene, Devlin and Poppy go back to the Missouri orphanage and demand the release of the rest of the girls.
After a season of playing friendlies and cup matches, they were renamed Mossley Juniors in 1904 and joined the Stalybridge & District League.
In their first competitive league match the club lost 9–1 to Dunham Villa, but they recovered to beat Mossley Volunteers 2–1 the following week.
The club transferred to the Ashton, Dunkinfield & District League in 1907, and then the Oldham & District League in 1907 and the West End Amateur League in 1908.
They finished joint top of the table in 1909–10 before losing a championship play-off match 3–2 to Ashton St Peter's reserves.
They won the league in 1911–12 and were runners-up in the next two seasons, also winning the Lady Aitken League Cup in 1913–14, beating Droylsden in a second replay.
The club was resurrected again in December 1918 and joined the Manchester Section of the Lancashire Combination for the truncated 1919 season, going on to finish as runners-up.
Later in 1919 Mossley were founder members of the Cheshire County League, finishing as runners-up in the league and losing the League Cup final in the 1919–20 season.
In 1960–61 the club won the League Cup and the Manchester Intermediate Cup, winning the latter trophy again in 1966–67 and 1967–68.
They reached the first round of the FA Cup again in 1969–70, losing 1–0 to Stockport County in a replay, before going on to finish as runners-up in the league.
The club were subsequently invited to play in a Non League Champion of Champions Cup match at the start of the following season, but were beaten by Southern League champions Worcester City over two legs.
They also reached the FA Cup first round again, losing 5–2 to York City, as well as reaching the final of the FA Trophy, in which they were beaten 2–1 by Dagenham at Wembley Stadium.
The club defeated Football League opposition in the FA Cup for the first time the following season, beating Crewe Alexandra 1–0 before losing 3–1 at home to Mansfield Town in the second round.
They went on to finish as runners-up in the league, which they repeated in each of the next two seasons, as well as making further FA Cup first round appearances which ended in defeat by Stockport and Huddersfield Town.
Although the club reached the FA Cup first round again in 1983–84 (losing to 5–0 Darlington), they also finished bottom of the Northern Premier League, marking the end of their period of success.
They won the League Cup and the Manchester Premier Cup in 1988–89, before winning the league's Challenge Shield in 1989–90 and the Manchester Premier Cup in 1990–91.
However, the club were relegated to Division One at the end of the 1992–93 season, and then finished bottom of Division One in 1994–95, resulting in relegation to Division One of the North West Counties League (which had been formed by merger of the Cheshire County League and the Lancashire Combination in 1982).
They were Division One runners-up in 1998–99 and won the League Cup in 2002–03, before finishing as runners-up in Division One again the following season, earning promotion back to Division One of the Northern Premier League.
However, they were relegated at the end of the following season, at which point the club were placed in Division One North.
The club won the Manchester Premier Cup in 2011–12, and retained it the following season, which also saw the club finish fifth in the league, qualifying for the promotion play-offs.
In 1912 they moved to Seel Fold, which had previously been used as a rubbish tip and then a cricket field, using the adjacent Highland Laddie Hotel as their headquarters.
The opening match was played on 23 September, a 4–0 win for Mossley against Stalybridge St Peters in the Ashton & District League.
The stand was expanded to a capacity of 1,000 in 1927, with the ground becoming known as Seel Park in 1931.
A new stand was built at the Mossley Park end in 1932 and a 300-seat stand erected on the Market Street side of the pitch four years later.
The club's record attendance of 6,640 was set in 1946 for a Cheshire County League match against local rivals Stalybridge Celtic.
The Popular Side stand was demolished in 1969 and replaced in 1971 when the club sold Gary Pierce to Huddersfield Town.
In 1987 the main stand had to be demolished due to storm damage, and was replaced with a 220-seat stand which was named for club president James Anderson.
Hendricks is an adjunct professor of clinical psychopharmacology and has taught at Argosy University, Howard University, and Catholic University of America.
He later found that while the majority of social scientists worked in academia, he preferred clinical work under the Boulder model.
He is a clinician and researcher and has investigated depression, suicide, substance abuse, compulsive behaviors, HIV, and gender diversity issues at the National Cancer Institute, Georgetown University Medical Center, and Virginia Commonwealth University.
Hendricks is a representative and past president of Division 44, which is the APA's Society for the Psychological Study of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues.
Hendricks is a member of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, American Psychology-Law Society, and the American Association of Suicidology.
There are conflicting reports on the location of his birth, with some sources saying he was born in the Province of Virginia, and others saying Hamilton County, Ohio (which did not exist until 1790); the identity of his parents are unknown.
He prepared for the ministry, and was pastor of the Baptist Church at Columbia, Miami Purchase, Northwest Territory, during the 1790s which some sources credit as the first Baptist Church in modern Ohio..
In 1799 Smith along with his agent Reuben Kemper were the first US based merchants to ship to Baton Rouge, taking nearly $10,000 worth of goods, primarily fine clothing and house furnishings.
He was a member of the Northwest Territorial legislature 1799–1803 and a delegate to the Ohio state constitutional convention in 1802.
Upon the admission of Ohio as a State into the Union, he was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the United States Senate and served in the 8th, 9th and 10th Congresses (1803–1808).
While in the Senate, Smith continued his profitable trading ventures in Louisiana and West Florida and pursued numerous land investment schemes.
Although Smith claimed he had no interest in Burr's plot to force secession of Spanish territories, he agreed to provide supplies for the proposed expedition.
When President Thomas Jefferson later issued an alert, charging that Burr's actual purpose was an invasion of Mexico, Smith responded patriotically by financing weapons to defend against the Burr expedition and delivering those weapons to New Orleans.
These travels caused him to miss weeks of Senate sessions and led the Ohio legislature to charge him with dereliction of duty and to demand his resignation.
Although Smith ignored that demand, he found his troubles increasing as a court in Richmond, Virginia, indicted him in mid-1807 for participating in Burr's conspiracy.
As he traveled to Richmond, he learned that the charges against him were dropped after the court acquitted Burr on a technicality.
But on December 31, 1807, a Senate committee chaired by John Quincy Adams recommended that Smith be expelled from the Senate.
Smith was defended by Francis Scott Key and Robert Goodloe Harper, who argued that Smith may have been naive, but was not a traitor.
Smith had enjoyed a close friendship with President Thomas Jefferson early in his Senate career, though that relationship was ruined, along with Smith's political career, by his implication in the Burr treason.
The station began broadcasting at the Merrion Centre at 5.30pm on 24 June 1968, becoming the 7th station to go on air.
Initially a two-year experiment and co-funded by Leeds City Council, the station was only available in Leeds on a low powered 50 watt VHF transmitter in Meanwood Park, on 94.6 MHz.
In 1974 BBC Radio Leeds, along with BBC Look North, moved to new studios in Woodhouse Lane, where it remained for thirty years until the studio was demolished in 2004.
Until the mid 1980s the station was generally on air from breakfast until teatime, with any programming after 6pm devoted to specialist music and magazines aimed at specialist interests and at ethnic minority communities.
In August 1986, evening programmes began on a permanent basis when the station joined with the other three BBC stations in Yorkshire to provide an early evening service of specialist music programmes on weeknights from 6pm to 7:30pm, extending a year later to six days a week (Wednesday to Monday) between 7pm and 9pm with Tuesdays reserved for local sports coverage.
May 1989 saw the launch of BBC Night Network which saw the BBC Local Radio stations in the North of England broadcasting networked programming every evening from 6:05pm (6pm at the weekend) and midnight, extending to 12:30am in the early 1990s, and to 1am by the end of that decade.
In 2012, the station shut down its offices and studios at the National Media Museum in Bradford, where the public was able to see programmes being broadcast.
Radio Leeds also operated district newsrooms and contribution studios in Wakefield Town Hall, at Dean Clough in Halifax and at Huddersfield Town Hall.
Four years later, the station reinstated an office and studio in Bradford, located in the Horton building at The University of Bradford.
BBC Radio Leeds was the home of BBC Local Radio’s networked evening show which was broadcast from the start of 2013 until local weeknight evening programming was reintroduced in autumn 2018.
Radio Leeds is also carried on the Wharfedale and Luddenden relay transmitters on 95.3 MHz, from Keighley on 102.7 and from Beecroft Hill (West Leeds) on 103.9 MHz to fill in areas which are screened from Holme Moss by the topology of the area.
Since 2001, BBC Radio Leeds has also been carried on the Bauer Leeds DAB multiplex, and since October 2002, on the Bradford & Huddersfield Multiplex.
Live streaming is available from the station's website and in 2015 the station began broadcasting throughout the BBC Yorkshire area on Freeview Channel 719.

Moss Side is an inner-city area of Manchester, England, south of the city centre, It had a population of 18,902 at the 2011 census.
Moss Side is bounded by Hulme to the north, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Rusholme and Fallowfield to the east, Whalley Range to the south, and Old Trafford to the west.
Historically part of Lancashire, Moss Side was a rural township and chapelry within the parish of Manchester and hundred of Salford.
Thought to be named after a great moss which stretched from Rusholme to Chorlton-cum-Hardy, the earliest mention of the area is in 1533 when it contained part of the estates of Trafford.
The industrial growth of the area resulted in a densely populated area, so much so, that a part of the township of Moss Side was amalgamated into the expanding city of Manchester in 1885, with the rest joining in 1904.
Mass development in Moss Side occurred in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when large numbers of red brick terraced houses were built, and soon attracted numerous Irish immigrants and other working people.
moved to a new stadium on Maine Road on 25 August 1923, having moved from Hyde Road, Ardwick; on its opening it was one of the most capacious sports stadiums in the United Kingdom, capable of holding up to 85,000 spectators.
During the Manchester Blitz in the Second World War many of the terraced houses were damaged by German bombing on the night of 22/23 December 1940.
Migrants from the Indian subcontinent and Caribbean settled in the locality during the 1950s and 1960s, and by the 1980s Moss Side was the hub of Manchester's Afro-Caribbean community.
During the 1960s and early 1970s, Manchester City Council demolished many of the Victorian and terraced houses to the west of Moss Side and replaced these with new council houses and flats.
Most of the newer properties, built around the turn of the 20th century, were refurbished instead of demolished during the final two decades of the century.
There were several high-profile shootings associated with gangs and drugs in this area during the 1990s and into the 21st century.
Aided by the work of Xcalibre, the Greater Manchester Police's task force, founded in 2004, and the multiagency Integrated Gang Management Unit, gang related shootings in the area have fallen by about 90% in recent years.
Drug abuse was described as one of the area's biggest problems, with gun crime rates being so high that there had recently been 400 armed incidents reported within a 12-month period.
Many of the flats in neighbouring Hulme were demolished in the early 1990s to make way for new low rise homes.
Housing on the Alexandra Park Estate in the west of Moss Side has been renovated and the streets redesigned to reduce the fear of crime.
Following boundary changes in 2018 a portion of the ward is a part of the Manchester Gorton constituency, represented by the Labour Party MP Afzal Khan.
Moss Side lies either side of the A5103 (Princess Road), the main road out of Manchester towards Northenden, Manchester Airport, the M56 motorway and Chester.
Parallel to this is Alexandra Road, which continues as Alexandra Road South past Alexandra Park (Alexandra Road was formerly one of two main shopping streets in Moss Side).
Landmarks on Princess Road are the Royal Brewery and the Princess Road Bus Depot, built originally for the tramways in 1909 and used by Stagecoach Manchester until 2010.
This includes mainly Victorian and Edwardian terraces to the east and centre, with more recent developments, primarily the Alexandra Park Estate, built in the 1970s to the west of Princess Road.
The Moss Side Sports and Leisure Complex (north of Moss Lane West) was upgraded for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and has a gym and a variety of other sporting facilities.
Moss Side has benefited from very substantial redevelopment and regeneration since the mid-1990s including improvement of the existing housing and residential environment along with several major housing projects currently in process or nearing completion.
A large site on Great Western Street has been developed by Moss Care Housing Ltd. to provide a mix of 2, 3 and 4-bedroom properties, with different tenures, some rental and others offered as shared ownership or for sale.
Maine Road site is in the process of redevelopment, marketed as Maine Place, primarily as 2, 3 and 4-bedroom houses but including a limited number of flats, for sale or shared ownership, with many homes completed and occupied, along with a primary school, now open, and a health centre planned.
The Bowes Street area, adjoining Princess Road, has been redeveloped, at the cost of £17 million, including the renovation or transformation, with some new build, of 155 properties in five streets.
Land adjacent to the development, formerly occupied by Bilsborrow primary school and the Stagecoach bus depot, both demolished as part of regeneration, remains vacant with no clear future use at present, though local community groups have short term plans to use the space for a gardening/food growing project.
The Royal Brewery brewed Kestrel, McEwan's and Harp Lager until recently but is now owned by Heineken for the production of Foster's Lager.
The brewery again merged with Websters brewery in 1985, was sold to Courage in 1990, before takeover by Heineken in 2008.
Prior to its expansion, part of the site of the Royal Brewery, where Moss Lane East meets Princess Road, was occupied by a library, fire station and police station.
Hydes Brewery on Moss Lane West was built in 1861, established by the Graetorix Brothers and originally known as the Queen's Brewery.
Established in 2010, the Moss Cider Project is a local community enterprise which takes donations of apples from trees in Moss Side and the surrounding area and makes them into cider and apple juice.
The northern England office of Aquatech Pressmain, which specialises in the 'supply of fluid pumping equipment to the Building Services, Process and Water Industries', is located in Moss Side.
In 2007, the Moss Side ward was estimated to have a total population of 17,537, of which 8,785 were male and 8,752 were female.
Moss Side is noted as an area with a greater population density and a faster population growth than other areas of the city of Manchester, with an increase of 17.4% between 2001 and 2007.
Other sources indicate an accompanying change in Moss Side's ethnic population, with an estimated marked percentage increase in the Afro-Caribbean, Indian, Somali, Chinese and Eastern European communities between 2007 and 2015.
A number of local community and voluntary groups provide social support, as well as cultural and leisure opportunities to each of these communities.
These organisations and institutions include The West Indian Sports and Social Club, the African and Caribbean Mental Health Service, and the African-Caribbean Care Group, which serve the Afro-Caribbean community.
The Reno and the Nile (upstairs from the Reno) were Manchester's most famous drinking clubs for the city's West Indian community and played a key role in the development of black culture in the city.
Moss Side is also home to a population with a keen interest in green politics and sustainable living, with initiatives such as the Moss Cider Project and Carbon Co-op.
Other groups, such as Bowes Street Residents Association have sought to 'green' the area through the use of 'alley gating' and planting in contained alleys.
With the aim of changing perceptions of the area, a group of local residents acting as 'community ambassadors' was also formed in January 2012.
The Millennium Powerhouse youth service caters for 8- to 25-year-olds and includes a music studio, fitness studio, dance studio, sports hall and offers information and advice to young people, including a library, along with recreational and sport groups.
In 2003, Ducie Central High School was replaced by the independently run Manchester Academy, with the aim of overcoming barriers to education and achievement faced by young people in the community.
In November 2009, it won the Academy Partnership Award, at the UK Education Business Awards, whilst, in July 2010, Academy pupils were named as national debating finalists at the Debate Mate competition at the House of Lords.
The area has five primary schools: Claremont Primary School, Devine Mercy RC Primary School, Holy Name RC Primary School, St Mary's CE Junior and Infant School and Webster Primary School.
The Windrush Millennium Centre on Alexandra Road provides facilities for courses of college and adult education, including some run by the City College Manchester and Manchester College of Arts and Technology.
The original St James's Church (Church of England), Princess Road, was built in 1887–88 (architect John Lowe): of red brick in the Perpendicular revival style.
Christ Church, Lloyd Street North, is an Anglican church of 1899–1904 by W. Cecil Hardisty and is a Grade II* listed building as of 24 April 1987.
There are two Roman Catholic churches, the Church of Divine Mercy, a Polish church founded in 1961, which is on Moss Lane East; and the Church of Our Lady (founded 1949).
The Polish church occupies a former Methodist chapel built about 1875 in the Neo-Gothic style and contains stained glass windows commemorating victims of the Holocaust.
On an adjacent site was the Church of the New Age (founded 1923) and there was also in Raby Street the Wesleyan Methodist Church.
However its capacity was gradually reduced over the years and by the mid-1990s it held just under 35,000 spectators all seated.
Maine Road has since been demolished and a mixed development of two-, three-, and four-bedroom houses, flats, and a primary school has been built on the site.
The ensemble cast includes Alec Newman as Paul Atreides, William Hurt as Duke Leto, and Saskia Reeves as Jessica, as well as James Watson, P. H. Moriarty, Robert Russell, Ian McNeice, and Giancarlo Giannini.
The miniseries introduces elements not found in Herbert's novel, but according to the director, these serve to elaborate rather than to edit.
Herbert's novel begins with lead character Paul Atreides being 15 years old and aging to 18 over the course of the story.
The miniseries invents an extensive subplot for Princess Irulan, a character who plays little part in the plot of the first novel.
Besides the final scene, the only one of Irulan's appearances based on an actual excerpt from the novel is her visit to Feyd-Rautha.
The first installment achieved a 4.6 rating with 3 million homes, and the miniseries averaged a 4.4/2.9 million households over all three nights.
Asher-Perrin suggested that Harrison's choice to cast adult actor Newman as Paul is problematic because the character is written in the script as less mature and observant than he is in the source novel, but she praised many members of the cast, in particular McNeice (Baron Harkonnen) and Cox (Irulan).
The Dolomitenmann is an extreme sports relay race held in September in the East Tyrolean, or so-called Dolomite Mountains of Austria, near the city of Lienz.
Buck had just bought the instrument and was attempting to learn how to play it, recording the music as he practiced.
Bassist Mike Mills came up with a bassline inspired by the work of Fleetwood Mac bassist John McVie; by his own admission he could not come up with one for the song that was not derivative.
Orchestral strings, arranged by Mark Bingham, were added to the song by members of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra at Soundscape Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, in October 1990.
Meanwhile, Warner Bros. worked to establish the single at campus, modern rock, and album-oriented rock radio stations before promoting it to American Top 40 stations, where it became a success.
The song won two awards, for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Best Short Form Music Video.
The song is also included on The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
Director Singh also drew inspiration from the Italian painter Caravaggio and the video is laden with religious imagery such as Saint Sebastian, the Biblical episode of the Incredulity of Thomas and Hindu deities, portrayed in a series of tableaux.
The video won six awards, including Video of the Year, Best Group Video, Breakthrough Video, Best Art Direction, Best Direction, and Best Editing.
The infield fly rule is a rule of baseball that treats certain fly balls as though caught, before the ball is caught, even if the infielder fails to catch it or drops it on purpose.
The umpire's declaration of an infield fly means that the batter is out (and all force plays are removed) regardless of whether the ball is caught.
The rule exists solely to prevent the defense from executing a double play or triple play by deliberately failing to catch a ball that an infielder could catch with ordinary effort.
If the ball is caught, they must return to their original base; if not caught, the batter becomes a runner and certain runners are forced to advance to the next base.
This creates an advantage for the defense in intentionally failing to execute an easy catch, which the infield fly rule exists to remove.
The rule applies only when there are fewer than two outs, and there is a force play at third base (i.e., when there are runners at first and second base, or the bases are loaded).
Umpires typically raise the right arm straight up, index finger pointing up and call to signal the rule is in effect.
The rule directs the umpire to declare an infield fly immediately on determining that the play meets the criteria described above, solely based on the umpire's discretion.
Any fair fly ball that could be caught by an infielder with ordinary effort is covered by the rule, whether or not it is in the infield, and whether or not an infielder catches it, or even attempts to catch it.
For example, if an infielder retreats to the outfield in an effort to catch a fly ball, the infield fly rule may be invoked because the ball could have been caught by the infielder.
A fly ball catchable with ordinary effort in Major League Baseball might not be in a junior high school game, due to the ability of the players involved.
If the ball is not caught and ends up foul (including if it lands fair and then rolls foul before passing first or third base without being touched by a fielder), the infield fly call is canceled, and the play is treated as an ordinary foul ball.
In contrast, if the ball lands foul and then rolls fair before passing first or third base without being touched, the infield fly takes effect and the batter is out.
Declarations of the infield fly rule are not included in the statistical summary of a baseball game and are not a separate category in player statistics.
A fielder who misplays an infield fly is not charged with an error because the batter is out through the infield fly rule.
But a fielder who fails to touch an infield fly that then rolls foul may be charged with an error for letting the ball roll foul; the batter is not out, and the misplay prolongs the batter's time at bat.
The rule was introduced in 1895 by the National League in response to infielders intentionally dropping pop-ups to get multiple outs by forcing out the runners on base, who were pinned near their bases while the ball was in the air.
In the fifth game of the 2008 World Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pedro Feliz of the Phillies hit a pop-up to the right side of the infield with runners on first and second and one out, in strong rain and swirling winds, and the infield fly rule was not invoked.
In the eighth inning of the 2012 National League Wild Card Game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Atlanta Braves, Andrelton Simmons of the Braves hit a pop-up into shallow left field with one out and men on first and second bases.
Cardinals shortstop Pete Kozma, who was playing in normal position, ran out to left field to catch the ball while left fielder Matt Holliday, who was playing very deep in left, ran in to catch it as well.
Although Kozma initially called to catch the ball, as the ball came down, he suddenly moved out of the way and the ball fell between him and Holliday.
The Braves did not score in the inning, and the Cardinals went on to win the game, 6–3, eliminating the Braves from the postseason.
After the call, angry Braves fans began throwing plastic bottles and other debris onto the field, causing the game to be delayed for nearly 20 minutes.
The game was played by the Braves under an official protest from their manager, but shortly after the game, Joe Torre, MLB executive vice president for baseball operations, denied the protest, citing umpire's judgment.
Torre made the ruling immediately following the game (waiving the normal 24-hour review period) due to the importance of the game and the quick turnaround time before the next playoff game.
Between 2009 and 2012, there were six infield-fly rulings on balls that weren't caught, and the longest was measured at , less than the ball Simmons hit.
As the infield fly rule is a special case, umpires signal one another at the start of an at-bat to remind one another that the game situation puts the rule into effect.
Provided the batter runs to first base, the greatest benefit the defense could achieve by intentionally letting the fly ball drop untouched is to force out the runner at second rather than the batter, resulting in a runner on first base either way.
However, if the batter is significantly slower than the runner, the defense may elect to let the ball drop untouched and achieve the force play, replacing the runner at first base with the batter.
Risks for the defense are that the uncaught ball may roll away from the fielder, and any runner on third base can try to score but has the option of remaining on his base.
If the batter gives up on the play, the defense can achieve outs at second base and first base by deliberately letting the ball drop untouched.
A related rule called the intentional drop rule (Rule 5.09(a)(12)) applies even when second base is unoccupied (so long as first-base is occupied), and applies even when the batted ball is a line drive or a bunt that could be caught on the fly.
If an umpire invokes this rule, the drop is ruled a catch, the ball is dead, and no baserunner may advance.
The rule is not invoked when a fielder plays a ball on a bounce that might have been caught on the fly, or a fielder lets the ball fall to the ground without catching the palm of the mitt, or, in the judgment of the umpire, the ball was mishandled and not cleanly caught.
If an infield fly is not caught, no tag up is required and the runners may advance at their own risk.
The only difference is that the umpire's declaration that the batter is out removes force plays and gives runners the option of staying on the base.
A runner hit by an infield fly while standing on a base is also protected from being declared out due to interference, unless this interference is deemed intentional (which appeared in the rules in 1940).
As in the 2008 World Series game, there may be doubt as to whether the ball was catchable by an infielder with ordinary effort.
However, in Major League Baseball, the umpires are likely to correct their mistake if it leads to an unfair double or triple play.
In adult baseball, a fly ball usually reaches the fielder before the batter can run the 90 feet to first base.
However, in youth baseball, the distance between bases is shorter, and in some youth leagues, the infield fly rule is not in effect.
If the fielder fails to catch the ball, then the batter runs toward second base while the runner originally on first base remains there.
Under Rule 7.08(h), the batter is out for passing a preceding runner, and under Rule 7.08(c), this out removes the force so that other runners are able to remain on their bases.
St. John's Northwestern Military Academy (SJNMA) was founded in 1884 as St. John's Military Academy (SJMA) in Delafield, Wisconsin, by Rev.
In 1995, St. John's Military Academy merged with Northwestern Military and Naval Academy (NMNA) in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, to become St. John's Northwestern Military Academy on the Delafield campus.
St. John's campus consists of a collection of historic buildings, many with towers and battlements in a style that suggests a Medieval castle, with most of them arranged in a U around the drill field.
In 1977 these historic campus buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places for the complementary design of many of them and since the school is the oldest military academy in Wisconsin.
It has been gradually replaced in most applications by roller chain, which is quieter, lasts longer, and requires less frequent retensioning.
Individual links can be put together or taken apart using simple tools, unlike roller chain which requires a master link or special splicing equipment.
Today, flat chain is used most often for conveyor belts, because it lends itself well to the attachment of slats, flights, buckets, and prongs used to move material.
Such attachments can be welded on in the field, or can be purchased ready-made on a single link (or pair of links where the conveyor uses two chains) and then spliced into a loop of chain.
The cult of Venus Verticordia was established in 220 BC, just before the beginning of the Second Punic War, in response to advice from a Sibylline oracle, when a series of prodigies was taken to signify divine displeasure at sexual offenses among Romans of every category and class, including several men and three Vestal Virgins.
This cult, older than that to Venus Verticordia but possibly perceived as weak or gone to seed, may have benefited from the moral and religious support of Venus as a relatively new but senior deity; for Ovid, Venus's acceptance of the epithet and its responsibilities represented the goddess's own change of heart.
She was meant to persuade Romans of both sexes and every class, whether married or unmarried, to cherish the traditional sexual proprieties and morality known to please the gods and benefit the State.
During the Veneralia, her cult image was taken from her temple to the men's baths, where it was undressed and washed in warm water by her female attendants, then garlanded with myrtle.
At the Veneralia, women and men asked Venus Verticordia for her help in affairs of the heart, sex, betrothal and marriage.
Normally there are four main types in glabrous, or hairless, mammalian skin: lamellar corpuscles (Pacinian corpuscles), tactile corpuscles (Meissner's corpuscles), Merkel nerve endings, and bulbous corpuscles (Ruffini corpuscle).
There are also mechanoreceptors in hairy skin, and the hair cells in the receptors of primates like rhesus monkeys and other mammals are similar to those of humans and also studied even in early 20th century anatomically and neurophysiologically.
In somatosensory transduction, the afferent neurons transmit messages through synapses in the dorsal column nuclei, where second-order neurons send the signal to the thalamus and synapse with third-order neurons in the ventrobasal complex.
Single action potentials from Meissner's corpuscle, Pacinian corpuscle and Ruffini ending afferents are directly linked to muscle activation, whereas Merkel cell-neurite complex activation does not trigger muscle activity.
The tactile corpuscles (also known as Meissner corpuscles) respond to light touch, and adapt rapidly to changes in texture (vibrations around 50 Hz).
Indeed, the most sensitive mechanoreceptors in humans are the hair cells in the cochlea of the inner ear (no relation to the follicular receptors – they are named for the hair-like mechanosensory stereocilia they possess); these receptors transduce sound for the brain.
When a mechanoreceptor receives a stimulus, it begins to fire impulses or action potentials at an elevated frequency (the stronger the stimulus, the higher the frequency).
Phasic mechanoreceptors are useful in sensing such things as texture or vibrations, whereas tonic receptors are useful for temperature and proprioception among others.
In the fingertips and lips, innervation density of slowly adapting type I and rapidly adapting type I mechanoreceptors are greatly increased.
These two types of mechanoreceptors have small discrete receptive fields and are thought to underlie most low-threshold use of the fingers in assessing texture, surface slip, and flutter.
Other mechanoreceptors than cutaneous ones include the hair cells, which are sensory receptors in the vestibular system of the inner ear, where they contribute to the auditory system and equilibrioception.
As all these types of mechanoreceptors are myelinated, they can rapidly transmit sensory information regarding joint positions to the central nervous system.
Mechanical pressure of varying strength and frequency can be applied to the corpuscle by stylus, and the resulting electrical activity detected by electrodes attached to the preparation.
If the generator potential reaches threshold, a volley of action potentials (nerve impulses) are triggered at the first node of Ranvier of the sensory neuron.
So the more massive or rapid the deformation of a single corpuscle, the higher the frequency of nerve impulses generated in its neuron.
The optimal sensitivity of a lamellar corpuscle is 250 Hz, the frequency range generated upon finger tips by textures made of features smaller than 200 micrometres.
The knee jerk is the popularly known stretch reflex (involuntary kick of the lower leg) induced by tapping the knee with a rubber-headed hammer.
Bajram Curri is a town situated in northern of Albania, near the border with Kosovo, in a remote, mostly mountainous region.
The town is named after Bajram Curri, a national hero who fought for ethnic Albanians, first against the Ottoman Empire and later against the Albanian government.
The town is located in the Valbonë Valley and is the main access point by road to touristic sights and villages of Valbona located in the Albanian Alps.
Bajram Curri is the gateway to Valbona Valley and Lake Koman, both of which are must-sees while in the Kukës Region.
Water from the mountains flow into the waters of the Valbonë, then latter being famous for having the clearest river water in Albania.
Albanian, Italian, and Chinese engineers, working for Albanian Minerals and Bytyci Sh.p.k in Tropojë, suggest the area may have more than 500 million tons of chrome ore and more than two billion tons of olivine in which platinum is 5-7 grams present per ton.
A thermoreceptor is a non-specialised sense receptor, or more accurately the receptive portion of a sensory neuron, that codes absolute and relative changes in temperature, primarily within the innocuous range.
In the mammalian peripheral nervous system, warmth receptors are thought to be unmyelinated C-fibres (low conduction velocity), while those responding to cold have both C-fibers and thinly myelinated A delta fibers (faster conduction velocity).
In humans, temperature sensation enters the spinal cord along the axons of Lissauer's tract that synapse on second order neurons in grey matter of the dorsal horn, one or two vertebral levels up.
The axons of these second order neurons then decussate, joining the spinothalamic tract as they ascend to neurons in the ventral posterolateral nucleus of the thalamus.
Neurons from the pre-optic and hypothalamic regions of the brain that respond to small changes in temperature have also been described, providing information on core temperature.
The hypothalamus is involved in thermoregulation, the thermoreceptors allowing feed-forward responses to a predicted change in core body temperature in response to changing environmental conditions.
Thermoreceptors have been classically described as having 'free' non-specialized endings; the mechanism of activation in response to temperature changes is not completely understood.
In the cornea cold receptors are thought to respond with an increase in firing rate to cooling produced by evaporation of lacrimal fluid 'tears' and thereby to elicit a blink reflex.
Temperatures likely to damage an organism are sensed by sub-categories of nociceptors that may respond to noxious cold, noxious heat or more than one noxious stimulus modality (i.e., they are polymodal).
The nerve endings of sensory neurons that respond preferentially to cooling are found in moderate density in the skin but also occur in relatively high spatial density in the cornea, tongue, bladder, and facial skin.
This area of research has recently received considerable attention with the identification and cloning of the Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) family of proteins.
This channel passes a mixed inward cationic (predominantly carried by Na ions although the channel is also permeable to Ca) current of a magnitude that is inversely proportional to temperature.
Since the TRPM8 is expressed in neurons whose physiological role is to signal cooling, menthol applied to various bodily surfaces evokes a sensation of cooling.
The feeling of freshness associated with the activation of cold receptors by menthol, particularly those in facial areas with axons in the trigeminal (V) nerve, accounts for its use in numerous toiletries including toothpaste, shaving lotions, facial creams and the like.
Another molecular component of cold transduction is the temperature dependence of so-called leak channels which pass an outward current carried by potassium ions.
The Na/K-ATPase is a P-type pump that extrudes 3Na ions in exchange for 2K ions for each hydrolytic cleavage of ATP.
It has been suggested that it is the constellation of various thermally sensitive proteins together in a neuron that gives rise to a cold receptor.
This emergent property of the neuron is thought to comprise, the expression of the aforementioned proteins as well as various voltage-sensitive channels including the hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channel and the rapidly activating and inactivating transient potassium channel (IK).
Co-sleeping is a practice in which babies and young children sleep close to one or both parents, as opposed to in a separate room.
Therefore, the individuals can be a few centimeters away or on the other side of the room and still have an effect on the other.
It is standard practice in many parts of the world, and is practiced by a significant minority in countries where cribs are also used.
Bed-sharing, a practice in which babies and young children sleep in the same bed with one or both parents, is a subset of co-sleeping.
The American Academy of Pediatrics does encourage room-sharing (sleeping in the same room but on separate surfaces) in its policy statement regarding SIDS prevention, but it recommends against bed-sharing with infants.
For instance, parents under the influence of drugs or alcohol and whose children died while bed-sharing have been charged and, at times, prosecuted with manslaughter in several US states (including Minnesota, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Texas, Wisconsin and Utah).
Bed-sharing is standard practice in many parts of the world outside of North America, Europe and Australia, and even in the latter areas a significant minority of children have shared a bed with their parents at some point in childhood.
One 2006 study of children age 3–10 in India reported 93% of children bed-sharing while a 2006 study of children in Kentucky in the United States reported 15% of infants and toddlers 2 weeks to 2 years engage in bed-sharing.
Bed-sharing was widely practiced in all areas up to the 19th century, until the advent of giving the child his or her own room and the crib.
Because children become accustomed to behaviors learned in early experiences, bed-sharing in infancy will also increase the likelihood of these children to crawl into their parent's bed in ages past infancy.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly discourage bed-sharing because of the risk of suffocation or strangulation, but some pediatricians and breast-feeding advocates have opposed this position.
Parents also experience less exhaustion with such ease in feeding and comforting their child by simply reaching over to the child.
It has been argued that co-sleeping evolved over five million years, that it alters the infant's sleep experience and the number of maternal inspections of the infant, and that it provides a beginning point for considering possibly unconventional ways of helping reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Stress hormones are lower in mothers and babies who co-sleep, specifically the balance of the stress hormone cortisol, the control of which is essential for a baby's healthy growth.
In studies with animals, infants who stayed close to their mothers had higher levels of growth hormones and enzymes necessary for brain and heart growth.
Also, the physiology of co-sleeping babies is more stable, including more stable temperatures, more regular heart rhythms, and fewer long pauses in breathing than babies who sleep alone.
In long-term follow-up studies of infants who slept with their parents and those who slept alone, the children who co-slept were happier, less anxious, had higher self-esteem, were less likely to be afraid of sleep, had fewer behavioral problems, tended to be more comfortable with intimacy, and were generally more independent as adults.
Some parents pose threats to infants due to their behaviors and conditions, such as smoking or drinking heavily, taking drugs, a history of skin infections, obesity, or any other specific risk-increasing traits.
Co-sleeping deaths in Texas reached at least 182 in the 2013-2014 fiscal year, which ends on August 31, compared to 169 in the 2012-2013 period.
John Lennan, a spokesman for Webb County child protective services in Laredo, said that each family's situation is examined individually to offer recommendations for a safe environment for the children.
The key to such sleeping arrangements is to make sure that the infant has room to breathe while sleeping, he added.
Some experts, then, recommend that the bed should be firm, and should not be a waterbed or couch; and that heavy quilts, comforters, and pillows should not be used.
Parents who roll over during their sleep could inadvertently crush and/or suffocate their child, especially if they are heavy sleepers, over-tired or over-exhausted and/or obese.
There is also the risk of the baby falling to a hard floor, or getting wedged between the bed and the wall or headboard.
A proposed solution to these problems is the bedside bassinet, in which, rather than bed-sharing, the baby's bed is placed next to the parent's bed.
The presence of the child in the parent's bedroom also raises the concern of a lack of privacy between the parents and the child.
A 2008 report explored the relationship between ad hoc parental behaviors similar to traditional co-sleeping methodology, though the study's subjects typically utilized cribs and other paraphernalia counter to co-sleeping models.
While babies who had been exposed to behaviors reminiscent of co-sleeping had significant problems with sleep later in life, the study concluded that the parental behaviors were a reaction to already-present sleep difficulties.
Further, typical co-sleeping parental behavior, like maternal presence at onset of sleep, were found to be protective factors against sleep problems.
Co-sleeping can often be regarded as an unnecessary practice that can be associated with issues such as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
The most controversial issue regarding SIDS is whether bed sharing is a main cause, and whether it should be avoided or encouraged.
Controversially, research shows that if co-sleeping practices are done in an appropriate and safe manner it can be very beneficial and reduce risk of SIDS occurring.
The Pacific Islands Families study, conducted in New Zealand, showed that the adoption of safe bed-sharing and room-sharing practices were saving infant lives and that there was no infant that died from SIDS.
A study of a small population in Northeast England showed a variety of nighttime parenting strategies and that 65% of the sample had bed-shared, 95% of them having done so with both parents.
The study reported that some of the parents found bedsharing effective, yet were covert in their practices, fearing disapproval of health professionals and relatives.
A National Center for Health Statistics survey from 1991 to 1999 found that 25% of American families always, or almost always, slept with their baby in bed, 42% slept with their baby sometimes, and 32% never bed-shared with their baby.
Generally, families of low socioeconomic status will be unable to afford a separate room for a child while those of high socioeconomic status can more easily afford a home with a sufficient number of rooms.
However, statistical data shows the prevalence of co-sleeping in wealthy Japanese families and the ability of poor Western families to still find a separate space for their child, suggests that the acceptance of co-sleeping is a result of culture.
In a study of 19 nations, a trend emerged, depicting a widely accepted practice of co-sleeping in Asian, African, and Latin American countries, while European and North American countries rarely practiced it.
This trend resulted mostly from the respective fears of parents: Asian, African, and Latin American parents worried about the separation between the parents and the child, while European and North American parents feared a lack of privacy for both the parents and the child.
A studio apartment, also known as a studio flat (UK), a self-contained apartment (Nigeria), efficiency apartment, bed-sitter (Kenya) or bachelor apartment, is a small apartment which combines a number of rooms, often the living room, bedroom, and kitchen.
These kinds of apartments typically consist of one large room which serves as the living, dining, and bedroom or may have a very small room for a bedroom.
Kitchen facilities may either be located in the central room, or in a small separate room, and the bathroom is usually in its own smaller room.
A studio apartment differs from a single room occupancy (SRO) unit in that an SRO does not usually contain a kitchen or bathroom.
Roller chain or bush roller chain is the type of chain drive most commonly used for transmission of mechanical power on many kinds of domestic, industrial and agricultural machinery, including conveyors, wire- and tube-drawing machines, printing presses, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles.
Though Hans Renold is credited with inventing the roller chain in 1880, sketches by Leonardo da Vinci in the 16th century show a chain with a roller bearing.
The first type is inner links, having two inner plates held together by two sleeves or bushings upon which rotate two rollers.
Inner links alternate with the second type, the outer links, consisting of two outer plates held together by pins passing through the bushings of the inner links.
The original power transmission chain varieties lacked rollers and bushings, with both the inner and outer plates held by pins which directly contacted the sprocket teeth; however this configuration exhibited extremely rapid wear of both the sprocket teeth, and the plates where they pivoted on the pins.
This problem was partially solved by the development of bushed chains, with the pins holding the outer plates passing through bushings or sleeves connecting the inner plates.
This distributed the wear over a greater area; however the teeth of the sprockets still wore more rapidly than is desirable, from the sliding friction against the bushings.
The addition of rollers surrounding the bushing sleeves of the chain and provided rolling contact with the teeth of the sprockets resulting in excellent resistance to wear of both sprockets and chain as well.
Many driving chains (for example, in factory equipment, or driving a camshaft inside an internal combustion engine) operate in clean environments, and thus the wearing surfaces (that is, the pins and bushings) are safe from precipitation and airborne grit, many even in a sealed environment such as an oil bath.
Some roller chains are designed to have o-rings built into the space between the outside link plate and the inside roller link plates.
Chain manufacturers began to include this feature in 1971 after the application was invented by Joseph Montano while working for Whitney Chain of Hartford, Connecticut.
O-rings were included as a way to improve lubrication to the links of power transmission chains, a service that is vitally important to extending their working life.
Further, the rubber o-rings prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering inside the chain linkages, where such particles would otherwise cause significant wear.
There are also many chains that have to operate in dirty conditions, and for size or operational reasons cannot be sealed.
These chains will necessarily have relatively high rates of wear, particularly when the operators are prepared to accept more friction, less efficiency, more noise and more frequent replacement as they neglect lubrication and adjustment.
If the chain is not being used for a high wear application (for instance if it is just transmitting motion from a hand operated lever to a control shaft on a machine, or a sliding door on an oven), then one of the simpler types of chain may still be used.
Roller chain is made in several sizes, the most common American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards being 40, 50, 60, and 80.
The first digit(s) indicate the pitch of the chain in eighths of an inch, with the last digit being 0 for standard chain, 1 for lightweight chain, and 5 for bushed chain with no rollers.
Thus, a chain with half inch pitch would be a #40 while a #160 sprocket would have teeth spaced 2 inches apart, etc.
Metric pitches are expressed in sixteenths of an inch; thus a metric #8 chain (08B-1) would be equivalent to an ANSI #40.
Most roller chain is made from plain carbon or alloy steel, but stainless steel is used in food processing machinery or other places where lubrication is a problem, and nylon or brass are occasionally seen for the same reason.
Roller chain is ordinarily hooked up using a master link (also known as a connecting link), which typically has one pin held by a horseshoe clip rather than friction fit, allowing it to be inserted or removed with simple tools.
Chain with a removable link or pin is also known as cottered chain, which allows the length of the chain to be adjusted.
Half links (also known as offsets) are available and are used to increase the length of the chain by a single roller.
The effect of wear on a roller chain is to increase the pitch (spacing of the links), causing the chain to grow longer.
Note that this is due to wear at the pivoting pins and bushes, not from actual stretching of the metal (as does happen to some flexible steel components such as the hand-brake cable of a motor vehicle).
With modern chains it is unusual for a chain (other than that of a bicycle) to wear until it breaks, since a worn chain leads to the rapid onset of wear on the teeth of the sprockets, with ultimate failure being the loss of all the teeth on the sprocket.
The sprockets (in particular the larger of the two) suffer a grinding motion that puts a characteristic hook shape into the driven face of the teeth.
The worn teeth (and chain) no longer provides smooth transmission of power and this may become evident from the noise, the vibration or (in car engines using a timing chain) the variation in ignition timing seen with a timing light.
Both sprockets and chain should be replaced in these cases, since a new chain on worn sprockets will not last long.
However, in less severe cases it may be possible to save the smaller of the two sprockets, since it is always the larger one that suffers the most wear.
Only in very light-weight applications such as a bicycle, or in extreme cases of improper tension, will the chain normally jump off the sprockets.
In industry, it is usual to monitor the movement of the chain tensioner (whether manual or automatic) or the exact length of a drive chain (one rule of thumb is to replace a roller chain which has elongated 3% on an adjustable drive or 1.5% on a fixed-center drive).
A simpler method, particularly suitable for the cycle or motorcycle user, is to attempt to pull the chain away from the larger of the two sprockets.
Contact between the pin and the bushing is not the regular line, but a point which allows the chain's pins to work its way through the bushing, and finally the roller, ultimately causing the chain to snap.
This form of construction is necessary because the gear-changing action of this form of transmission requires the chain to both bend sideways and to twist, but this can occur with the flexibility of such a narrow chain and relatively large free lengths on a bicycle.
The critical factors in a chain's fatigue strength is the quality of steel used to manufacture the chain, the heat treatment of the chain components, the quality of the pitch hole fabrication of the linkplates, and the type of shot plus the intensity of shot peen coverage on the linkplates.
The rule of thumb for roller chain operating on a continuous drive is for the chain load to not exceed a mere 1/6 or 1/9 of the chain's tensile strength, depending on the type of master links used (press-fit vs. slip-fit).
For example, the following Table shows data from ANSI standard B29.1-2011 (Precision Power Transmission Roller Chains, Attachments, and Sprockets) developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
Typically chains with parallel shaped links have an even number of links, with each narrow link followed by a broad one.
Chains built up with a uniform type of link, narrow at one and broad at the other end, can be made with an odd number of links, which can be an advantage to adapt to a special chainwheel-distance, on the other side such a chain tends to be not so strong.
Their art is peopled by their friends and family, anonymous and famous, who appear in sophisticated life-size sets the artists build in their studio.
Accomplished image creators, Pierre and Gilles have built up an extraordinary contemporary iconography on the frontier between art history and popular culture.
It depicts three naked French footballers with their genitals fully revealed: the first black, the second Arab and the third white, to represent the multi-ethnic composition of modern French society.
The ensuing controversy led to an act of self-censorship by the artists, who decided that the largest street posters should be changed, and instead use coloured ribbons to hide the players' genitals.
In autumn 1976, Commoy and Blanchard met at the inauguration of a Kenzo boutique in Paris, and started living together in an apartment in Rue des Blancs-Manteaux that they also use as a studio.
In 1979, Pierre et Gilles moved to the Bastille quarter, made their first works for Thierry Mugler, designed record sleeves for artist friends, and shot fashion ads and portraits for magazines.
In 1984, Pierre et Gilles worked extensively for musical artists like Mikado (for whom they directed their first video), Sandii, Etienne Daho, Sheila and Krootchey.
It depicts three naked French footballers with their genitals fully revealed: the first black, the second Arab/Muslim and the third white, to represent the multi-ethnic composition of modern French society.
In the UK, the BBFC passed the film uncut for cinemas, though home releases suffered a brief cut to an ejaculation shot.
In Canada, particularly in Alberta and the Maritimes, the sexuality was seen as gratuitous to the film and it was given an A rating and XXX rating in those regions.
They are self-made unique works or small series, signed and dated on the reverse by the artist/producer, exchanged and collected by the people who participate in the collaborative performance.
An exhibition of 1200 of Stirnemann's cards ran at his second-hand bookshop and gallery INK.art&text in Zurich, Switzerland between 23 April and 31 May 1997.
The ATC project was intended to allow people from different backgrounds to participate in an ongoing art project, which was not part of the art market.
A few weeks after the first ATC exhibition and trading session in Zurich, the Canadian artist Don Mabie adopted the idea and showed artist trading cards at the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
In April 1998, editions were shown at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, Germany, and in June and July 1998 shows and trading sessions were organized in Arnhem and Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
In May 2002, the fifth anniversary of the project was celebrated with a trading session at the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich.
Miniature art has been in existence for centuries tracing its heritage back to the illustrated manuscripts of scribes in the Far East and Europe prior to the 15th century.
The origin of modern trading cards is associated with cigarette cards first issued by the US-based Allen and Ginter tobacco company in 1875.
An important influence for the ATC concept were art movements of the 20th century which advocated a more popular art: Art not for museums or auctions but from and within everyday life.
In order to allow for profit gain and non artist collection, both the concept of a mutual exchange and the name of the cards were altered (while the size was kept).
Whereas ATCs are rather shown in museums and special exhibitions (usually accompanied by a trading session), ACEOs are sold on auction sites, collected privately and reproduced in craft tutorials or other publications.
The International Epidemiological Association (IEA) is a worldwide association with more than 2000 members in over 100 different countries, who follow the aims of the association to facilitate communication amongst those engaged in research and teaching of epidemiology throughout the world, and to encourage its use in all fields of health including social, community and preventative medicine.
These aims are achieved by holding scientific meetings and seminars, by publication of journals, reports, translations of books, by contact amongst members and by other activities consistent with these aims.
In addition, the association organizes The World Congress of Epidemiology (WCE) which is held triennially in different parts of the world.
The 19th WCE was held in Edinburgh, Scotland, August 2011, while the 20th WCE will be held in Anchorage, Alaska, August 2014 .
The IEA is in official relations with the World Health Organization (WHO) and is run by a council including executive and regional councilors for its 7 regions in addition to the ex-officio members.
These objectives are achieved through networking professionals working in the field of epidemiology through different means, including its website: www.IEAweb.org ; holding national, regional and international scientific meetings and congresses, as well as individual contacts between professional members.
A determined effort was made in this decade to develop regional activities and to strengthen IEA links and co-operation with the WHO.
The International Corresponding Club, as the IEA was first called, was started in 1954 by John Pemberton of Great Britain and Harold N Willard of the United States with the advice and help of Robert Cruickshank.
They had found, as traveling Research Fellows each in the other's country, that they were handicapped by not being sufficiently well informed about the research and teaching in the field of social and preventive medicine in the various medical schools and research institutes.
At first it was just a corresponding club whose object was ‘to facilitate the communication between physicians working for the most part in university departments of preventive and social medicine, or in research institutes devoted to these aspects of medicine, throughout the world’.
This was to be achieved by the publication of a Bulletin twice a year and by members endeavouring to ‘ensure a friendly and hospitable welcome for visitors’ from other countries.
Correspondents soon felt the need to meet to discuss research and teaching and the first formal meeting took place at the Ciba Foundation in London at the end of June 1956.
By this time there were 49 correspondents from 18 countries, and one of them, A. Querido of Amsterdam invited the Club to hold its First International Scientific Meeting in the Netherlands.
As a consequence a ‘Study Group on Current Epidemiological Research’, supported by a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, took place at Noordwijk in September 1957.
The second was held in the Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia in 1959 when the present title of the association was adopted.
With few exceptions, the scientific meetings of the association have been held every three years since 1957 in different locations around the world.
At the first Council Meeting held in Montreal 17–18 August 2002, it was agreed that all meetings formerly entitled International Scientific Meeting would henceforth be called World Congress of Epidemiology (WCE), with a continued sequence of numbering.
The IEA has always attached great importance to the educational aspects of its work and its first Chairman, Robert Cruikshank, often used the phrase ‘spreading the gospel’ to describe these aims.
The meeting in Cali in 1959 stimulated great interest in epidemiology in Colombia and as a result three seminars on epidemiology were later organized by the IEA in that country.
The Milbank Memorial Fund helped to make this extensive series of seminars possible and the WHO, through the Pan American Health Organization, also cooperated in these seminars.
By 1977 the IEA had organized, or played a prominent part in, 23 Seminars or Workshops on epidemiology in 19 different countries.
The association only undertakes to organize or participate in seminars at the invitation of the national or local educational or governmental bodies concerned.
In 1969 a decision was taken to produce a guide on the teaching of epidemiology which would be suitable for use throughout the world.
The WHO agreed to cooperate in this project and Dr Ronald Lowe and Jan Kostrzewski were asked to edit the guide.
It was published first in English as Epidemiology: A guide to Teaching Methods and also published in French, German, Polish, Serbo-Croat Slovak, and Spanish editions; and editions in Russian and Slovakare in preparation.
Other of the classic texts sponsored by the IEA in collaboration with Oxford University Press is ‘A Dictionary of Epidemiology’ which remains the definitive dictionary in epidemiology worldwide.
In fact, with contributions from over 220 epidemiologists and other users of epidemiology from around the globe, it is more than a dictionary: it includes explanations and comments on both core epidemiologic terms and on other scientific terms relevant to all professionals in clinical medicine and public health, as well as to professionals in the other health, life, and social sciences.
The first fourth editions of the dictionary were edited by John Last and the fifth edition was edited by Miquel Porta.
The IEA offers a free copy of one of the first two publications as an incentive for life-time (10-years) or 3-year membership.
The council believed that the journal could replace the old Bulletin in providing a link between members in intervals between international meetings by publishing association news, and serve a valuable purpose by publishing original articles in the field of epidemiology.
They introduced a number of new features and the positive effects of these changes are reflected in its improved impact factor (7.2 in 2015), which places it first among the international epidemiology journals.
The association has a long tradition of collaboration with other organizations, particularly with the WHO and the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) and International Clinical Epidemiologic Network (INCLEN) .
This affiliation led the association to the participation in preparing the international ethical guidelines for epidemiological studies, recognized by WHO as a key reference.
The Countdown to 2015: Maternal, Newborn and Child Health is a global initiative that includes academics and representatives of multilateral and bilateral agencies, professional organizations and civil society who share the common goal of increasing accountability for progress towards the Millennium Development Goals for improving the health of mothers and children.
In the earlier years of the IEA, British and North American members were in the majority, mainly because the association had its origins in the UK and US.
The council of the association has always been very conscious of this tendency and made active efforts to broaden the representativeness of the association by encouraging members to nominate epidemiologists from other countries.
Members of participating national societies join IEA at 30% of the usual rate and have all of the benefits of regular IEA membership, except that they receive the e-version of the IJE only.
There have been regular meetings in most IEA Regions, including: Africa, South-East Asia, Eastern Mediterranean, Europe, Latin America & Caribbean, North America and Western Pacific and occasional ones in the remainder.
Of particular note have been those which marked the foundation and strength of national epidemiological associations as in Japan, China and Holland.
The growth and interest in epidemiology and the enormous improvement in the quality, as well as the quantity of epidemiological research has been particularly notable in some IEA regions as South East Asia.
For example, the Australian Regional IEA meeting in 1973 was attended by 9 Japanese - at that time the only such practicing scientists in that country.
The growth and strengthening of Epidemiology discipline outside Western Europe and North America has also led to increase in bids to act as hosts for ISMs, now known as WCEs.
In effort of enforcing the capacity building role of IEA and moving the 20-year-old Florence course to the south, IEA has started an annual short-course in epidemiological methods.
Indeed, the course is allied to the IEA-sponsored European Educational Programme in Epidemiology , annually held in Florence for three weeks every June/July, under the directorship of Rodolfo Saracci, for more than 2 decades.
Introductory, intermediate and advance level courses are offered to provide epidemiologists and public health professionals an opportunity to become acquainted with the advances in epidemiologic methods that can enhance the role of epidemiology in clinical medicine and public health.
These courses are addressed to epidemiologists, public health professionals, statisticians, and clinicians and include lectures, computer based analyses, exercises, discussion sessions, and practical experience in the design of a research proposal.
The first course was held in Jaipur, India, in April 2009, the second in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in April, 2010, the third in Malawi in April 2011, while the latest was held in Lima, Peru during May 2012.
The recipient is honored for his/her scientific achievements that have advanced our understanding of the determinants of a disease of importance for health in populations through a body of research that may involve a series of studies, rather than a single publication.
The prize winner is selected by a committee which includes current IEA president, president-elect, past-president in addition to two members appointed by the IEA Council.
The first prize has been conferred in 2008 to Prof , while the second was awarded to Prof David Barker in 2011.
The aims of this group are similar to those of the IEA, with a focus on identifying tools and opportunities to develop knowledge and careers for emerging professionals engaged in the field of epidemiology throughout the world.
The IEA has decided to invest effort and resources in ensuring the connectivity among ECE and thus facilitate the promulgation of opportunities for IEA training events, a mentoring scheme, and other activities which promote the advance and appropriate use of the epidemiological methods and its development in all regions.
It is hoped that the IEA will be able to continue to play a part in the organization of seminars particularly in those parts of the world where epidemiology is not well developed.
Owing to the lack of funds for this purpose such activities may have to be confined, for the present, to co-operation with national or international organizations, in particular the WHO, by providing faculty members and resource material rather than funds.
There was general support for continued regional development at the Seventh International Meeting and the first steps were taken towards the organization of further regional meetings.
The previous council recommended that regional IEA councils covering the WHO regions should be established in order to stimulate recruitment of members and the organization of international meetings within regions.
The present council consists of members from all the WHO regions and it is now considering the whole question of regional development.
The Shops at Prudential Center is an urban shopping mall located at the base of the Prudential Tower in Boston, Massachusetts.
The mall lies adjacent to many other destinations such as: Hynes Convention Center, the 101/111 Huntington Avenue office towers, and a skywalk connecting it to Copley Place.
The shopping complex is anchored by Lord & Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue; both owned by Canadian Hudson's Bay Company, and is home to over 75 specialty retailers, including upscale stores and dining such as Earl's, Lacoste, Club Monaco, Ralph Lauren, Vineyard Vines, and more.
The St. Francis Chapel, staffed by the Oblates of the Virgin Mary, which is a functioning Roman Catholic chapel, is also located inside the shopping center.
Originally, only one department store (Saks), along with a handful of shops existed around the base of the Prudential Tower in a small shopping arcade.
Nearby structures including the Hynes Convention Center, 101 Huntington Avenue office tower, a Sheraton Hotel, and other various shops were separated by open plazas in a patchwork of disjointed buildings.
In 1991, a plan was put forth to connect all of the destinations together with an expanded shopping center, in the area bordered by Boylston Street, Huntington Avenue, and Dalton Street.
The Prudential Center was connected through the shopping arcade, with traffic—from office workers to convention attendees—able to travel conveniently to the various destinations.
Dyscalculia is difficulty in learning or comprehending arithmetic, such as difficulty in understanding numbers, learning how to manipulate numbers, performing mathematical calculations and learning facts in mathematics.
Mathematical disabilities can occur as the result of some types of brain injury, in which case the proper term, acalculia, is to distinguish it from dyscalculia which is of innate, genetic or developmental origin.
The earliest appearance of dyscalculia is typically a deficit in the ability to know, from a brief glance and without counting, how many objects there are in a small group (see subitizing).
However, children with dyscalculia can subitize fewer objects and even when correct take longer to identify the number than their age-matched peers.
Common symptoms of dyscalculia are, having difficulty with mental math, trouble analyzing time and reading an analog clock, struggle with motor sequencing that involves numbers, and often they will count on their fingers when adding numbers.
For instance, in a study done by Mazzocco and Myers (2003), researchers evaluated children on a slew of measures and selected their most consistent measure as their best diagnostic criterion: a stringent 10th-percentile cut-off on the TEMA-2.
Even with their best criterion, they found dyscalculia diagnoses for children longitudinally did not persist; only 65% of students who were ever diagnosed over the course of four years were diagnosed for at least two years.
It is unclear whether this was the result of misdiagnosed children improving in mathematics and spatial awareness as they progressed as normal, or that the subjects who showed improvement were accurately diagnosed, but exhibited signs of a non-persistent learning disability.
There are very few studies of adults with dyscalculia who have had a history of it growing up, but such studies have shown that it can persist into adulthood.
The adults cannot process their errors on the math problems or may not even recognize that they have made these errors.
Dyscalculics may have a difficult time adding numbers in a column format because their mind can mix up the numbers, and it is possible that they may get the same answer twice due to their mind processing the problem incorrectly.
Dyscalculics can have problems determining differences in different coins and their size or giving the correct amount of change and if numbers are grouped together, it is possible that they cannot determine which has less or more.
If a dyscalculic is asked to choose the greater of two numbers, with the lesser number in a larger font than the greater number, they may take the question literally and pick the number with the bigger font.
Adults with dyscalculia have a tough time with directions while driving and with controlling their finances, which causes difficulties on a day-to-day basis.
College students particularly may have a tougher time due to the fast pace and change in difficulty of the work they are given.
After dealing with their anxiety for a long time, students can become averse to math and try to avoid it as much as possible, which may result in lower grades in math courses.
They may try to keep a positive attitude even with the frustration and anxiety because they want to meet their goal in life.
In the 21st century there is evidence that there will be an increase in enrollment for students with learning disabilities in community colleges.
With respect to pure developmental dyscalculia, domain-general causes are unlikely as they should not impair one’s ability in the numerical domain without also affecting other domains such as reading.
Typically developing individuals are less accurate and slower in comparing pairs of numbers closer together (e.g., 7 and 8) than further apart (e.g., 2 and 9).
The numerical ratio effect is observed when individuals are less accurate and slower in comparing pairs of numbers that have a larger ratio (e.g., 8 and 9, ratio = 8/9) than a smaller ratio (2 and 3; ratio = 2/3).
A larger numerical distance or ratio effect with comparison of sets of objects (i.e., non-symbolic) is thought to reflect a less precise ANS, and the ANS acuity has been found to correlate with math achievement in typically developing children and also in adults.
More importantly, several behavioral studies have found that children with developmental dyscalculia show an attenuated distance/ratio effect than typically developing children.
For example, Gavin R. Price and colleagues found that children with developmental dyscalculia showed no differential distance effect on reaction time relative to typically developing children, but they did show a greater effect of distance on response accuracy.
They also found that the right intraparietal sulcus in children with developmental dyscalculia was not modulated to the same extent in response to non-symbolic numerical processing as in typically developing children.
With the robust implication of the intraparietal sulcus in magnitude representation, it is possible that children with developmental dyscalculia have a weak magnitude representation in the parietal region.
Yet, it does not rule out an impaired ability to access and manipulate numerical quantities from their symbolic representations (e.g., Arabic digits).
Moreover, findings from a cross-sectional study suggest that children with developmental dyscalculia might have a delayed development in their numerical magnitude representation by as much as five years.
However, the lack of longitudinal studies still leaves the question open as to whether the deficient numerical magnitude representation is a delayed development or impairment.
Rousselle & Noël propose that dyscalculia is caused by the inability to map preexisting representations of numerical magnitude onto symbolic Arabic digits.
Evidence for this hypothesis is based on research studies that have found that individuals with dyscalculia are proficient on tasks that measure knowledge of non-symbolic numerical magnitude (i.e., non-symbolic comparison tasks) but show an impaired ability to process symbolic representations of number (i.e., symbolic comparison tasks).
Neuroimaging studies also report increased activation in the right intraparietal sulcus during tasks that measure symbolic but not non-symbolic processing of numerical magnitude.
Thus dyscalculia can be diagnosed using different criteria, and frequently is; this variety in diagnostic criteria leads to variability in identified samples, and thus variability in research findings regarding dyscalculia.
Alternatively, fMRI research has shown that the brains of the neurotypical children can be reliably distinguished from the brains of the dyscalculic children based on the activation in the prefrontal cortex.
However, due to the cost and time limitations associated with brain and neural research, these methods will likely not be incorporated into diagnostic criteria despite their effectiveness.
Most studies done with comorbid samples versus dyscalculic-only samples have shown different mechanisms at work and additive effects of comorbidity, indicating that such subtyping may not be helpful in diagnosing dyscalculia.
Due to high comorbidity with other disabilities such as dyslexia and ADHD, some researchers have suggested the possibility of subtypes of mathematical disabilities with different underlying profiles and causes.
Studies have also shown indications of causes due to congenital or hereditary disorders, but evidence of this is not yet concrete.
A one-to-one tutoring paradigm designed by Lynn Fuchs and colleagues which teaches concepts in arithmetic, number concepts, counting, and number families using games, flash cards, and manipulables has proven successful in children with generalized math learning difficulties, but intervention has yet to be tested specifically on children with dyscalculia.
Most notably, individuals are able to practice more with a digital intervention than is typically possible with a class or teacher.
Räsänen and colleagues have found that games such as The Number Race and Graphogame-math can improve performance on number comparison tasks in children with generalized math learning difficulties.
Rescue Calcularis was one early computerized intervention that sought to improve the integrity of and access to the mental number line.
While each intervention claims to improve basic numerosity skills, the authors of these interventions do admit that repetition and practice effects may be a factor involved in reported performance gains.
While the previous two games provide the correct answer, the individual using the intervention cannot actively determine, through manipulation, what the correct answer should be.
Butterworth and colleagues argued that games like The Number Bonds, which allows an individual to compare different sized rods, should be the direction that digital interventions move towards.
One of these serious games is Meister Cody – Talasia, an online training that includes the CODY Assessment – a diagnostic test for detecting dyscalculia.
A study used transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) to the parietal lobe during numerical learning and demonstrated selective improvement of numerical abilities that was still present six months later in typically developing individuals.
Improvement were achieved by applying anodal current to the right parietal lobe and cathodal current to the left parietal lobe and contrasting it with the reverse setup.
When the same research group used tDCS in a training study with two dyscalculic individuals, the reverse setup (left anodal, right cathodal) demonstrated improvement of numerical abilities.
Those that find gender difference in prevalence rates often find dyscalculia higher in females, but some few studies have found prevalence rates higher in males.
The term 'dyscalculia' was coined in the 1940s, but it was not completely recognized until 1974 by the work of Czechoslovakian researcher Ladislav Kosc.
His research proved that the learning disability was caused by impairments to certain parts of the brain that control mathematical calculations and not because symptomatic individuals were 'mentally handicapped'.
Cognitive disabilities specific to mathematics were originally identified in case studies with patients who experienced specific arithmetic disabilities as a result of damage to specific regions of the brain.
More commonly, dyscalculia occurs developmentally as a genetically linked learning disability which affects a person's ability to understand, remember, or manipulate numbers or number facts (e.g., the multiplication tables).
Queens Center Mall is an urban shopping mall in Elmhurst, Queens, New York City, on Queens Boulevard between 57th Avenue and Woodhaven Boulevard.
It has one of the highest returns in sales per square foot in the United States, with 2002 sales of $953 per square foot, almost triple the national average.
The mall is adjacent to the Woodhaven Boulevard station () on the IND Queens Boulevard Line of the New York City Subway.
Queens Center Mall opened on September 12, 1973, on land previously occupied by a children's amusement park named Fairyland, a supermarket, and automobile parking.
The mall underwent a major expansion from 2002 to 2004, nearly doubling in size as the original mall was renovated and another wing was added to the east of 92nd Street.
For a limited time during the 2006 Christmas shopping season, the Macy's location in Queens Center was open 24 hours a day, becoming the first to do so.
On March 8, 2019, the mall was evacuated when an appearance by rapper A Boogie wit da Hoodie was cancelled and fans rioted and looted stores, including the Foot Locker.
The Staten Island Mall is a shopping mall in the New Springville neighborhood of Staten Island, New York City, United States.
It is the largest retail center on the island and is the site of the island's third largest public transit hub after the St. George Terminal and Eltingville Transit Center, with numerous bus routes that connect to the periphery of the mall area.
The mall is owned by Brookfield Properties Retail Group of Chicago, Illinois, itself a division of Brookfield Asset Management, whose USA operations are based in Manhattan.
In 2008, following the US economic meltdown, several stores, including some open for many years, closed down and discount or non-national retailers took their places.
The mall has been expanded by 242,000 square feet beginning in 2016 continued into 2019 with an updated modern storefront with new restaurants and retailers like Zara and Ulta Beauty.
On March 15, 2017, Primark opened on the second floor of the Sears store, while The Container Store occupied the former Sears auto center.
On July 14, 2019, it was announced that Sears would be shutting down at the mall in mid-September 2019 after 46 years.
Several local, Select Bus Service and express New York City Transit Authority buses stop and either travel through or on the perimeter (where park and ride facilities exist) of the mall's campus.
They include the local buses/limited counterparts, the buses with no corresponding limited buses, the Select Bus Service route, and the express buses.
On 18 June 1778 John White qualified as a surgeon's mate, first rate, following examination at the Company of Surgeons in London.
He was promoted surgeon in 1780, serving aboard until 1786 when Sir Andrew Hamond recommended him as principal naval surgeon for the voyage of the First Fleet to Australia.
He succeeded in obtaining supplies of fresh meat and vegetables for them, and arranged that they should be allowed up on deck in relays to obtain fresh air.
On arrival in Australia, White engaged one of the convicts, Thomas Barrett, to engrave a silver medallion to mark the occasion.
In 1788 White was appointed Surgeon-General of New South Wales and organised a hospital for the new colony, somewhat hampered by a lack of medical supplies.
He became interested in the native flora and fauna of the new land and investigated the potential of Australian plants for use as medicine.
It is believed (by his unnamed biographer) that Thomas William Parr was employed as a sketch artist by White to produce natural history drawings as a starting point for development and colouring by other artists.
In 1792, Thomas Watling a convict artist newly arrived to the colony was appointed by the government to assist John White in the production of copies of illustrations of various plants, insects and animals.
He applied for leave of absence in 1792, and received it in 1794, sailing for England on 17 December 1794 and later travelled to Ireland.
Earlier in 1796, White was elected a Fellow of the Linnean Society of London, and on 10 March 1797, the Senate of the University of St Andrews conferred the degree of Doctor of Medicine on him.
Dumbing-down varies according to subject matter, and usually involves the diminishment of critical thought, by undermining intellectual standards within language and learning; thus trivializing meaningful information, culture, and academic standards, as in the case of popular culture.
In the late 20th century, the proportion of young people attending university in the UK increased sharply, including many who previously would not have been considered to possess the appropriate scholastic aptitude.
In 2007 Wellington Grey, a high school physics instructor in London, published an Internet petition objecting to what he described as a dumbed-down curriculum.
Gatto writes that while he was hired to teach English and literature, he came to believe he was employed as part of a social engineering project.
It is a pejorative term of English origin common in Britain and other parts of the English-speaking world (mainly Commonwealth nations), including Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
The sequence was edited out of the show (as is common with risqué words), but has been shown as an outtake on other shows.
One of the themes in its lyrics is breaking down male society into two distinct cultures: Yobs (the subject of the first single released from the album) and wankers.
It is the notion that memories encoded in long-term memory (LTM) are forgotten, and cannot be retrieved into short-term memory (STM).
His experiment was similar to the Stroop task and required subjects to sort two decks of card with words into two piles.
When the location was changed for the second pile, sorting was slower, demonstrating that the first set of sorting rules interfered with learning the new set.
In 1924, James J. Jenkins and Karl Dallenbach showed that everyday experiences can interfere with memory with an experiment that resulted in retention being better over a period of sleep than over the same amount of time devoted to activity.
The United States again made headway in 1932 with John A. McGeoch suggesting that decay theory should be replaced by an interference theory.
The most recent major paradigm shift came when Underwood proposed that proactive inhibition is more important or meaningful than retroactive inhibition in accounting for forgetting.
Of the two effects of interference theory, proactive interference is the less common and less problematic type of interference compared to retroactive interference.
A common example is observing previous motor abilities from one skill interfering with a new set of motor abilities being learned in another skill from the initial.
Proactive interference is also associated with poorer list discrimination, which occurs when participants are asked to judge whether an item has appeared on a previously learned list.
If the items or pairs to be learned are conceptually related to one another, then proactive interference has a greater effect.
Delos Wickens discovered that proactive interference build up is released when there is a change to the category of items being learned, leading to increased processing in STM.
Presenting new skills later in practice can considerably reduce proactive interference desirable for participants to have the best opportunity to encode fresh new memories into LTM.
Thus, using recent-probes task and fMRIs, the brain mechanisms involved in resolving proactive interference identify as the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and the left anterior prefrontal cortex.
However, those asked to memorize a new list the day after learning the first one had a recall of only 40%.
The effect of proactive interference was reduced when the test was immediate and when the new target list was obviously different from the previously learned lists.
Proactive Interference affects susceptibility to span performance limitations, as span performance in later experimental trials were worse than performance in earlier trials.
Proactive interference has shown an effect during the learning phase in terms of stimuli at the acquisition and retrieval stages with behavioral tasks for humans, as found by Castro, Ortega and Matute.
The effect of retroactive interference takes place when any type of skill has not been rehearsed over long periods of time.
Of the two effects of interference theory, retroactive interference is considered the more common and more problematic type of interference compared to proactive interference.
These memory research pioneers demonstrated that filling the retention interval (defined as the amount of time that occurs between the initial learning stage and the memory recall stage) with tasks and material caused significant interference effects with the primary learned items.
As compared to proactive interference, retroactive interference may have larger effects because of the fact that there is not only competition involved, but also unlearning.
After perfecting A- B learning, participants were given a new list of paired associates to learn; however B items were replaced with C items (now given a list of A-C-, A-C-…A-C).
A significant part of Briggs (1954) study was that once participants were tested after a delay of 24 hours the Bi responses spontaneously recovered and exceeded the recall of the Ci items.
Since German psychologist H. Ebbinghaus (1885, 1913) made the first scientific studies on forgetting in the late nineteenth century, further research on the rate of forgetting presented information was found to be steep.
While a variety of factors play a role in affecting the rate of forgetting, the general conclusion made is that 70% of originally recalled information is initially forgotten in 24 hours after a session of practice, followed by 80% of information forgotten within 48 hours.
Afterwards, forgetting diminishes at a gradual rate, which leaves about 5% to 10% of retained information available for learners to access from practice until the next session.
Despite the numbers, retroactive interference can be reduced significantly by implementing over-learning practice schedules, periodic refresh sessions when practicing skills, and skill rehearsal time for the nonuse periods of practicing.
Continuous skills are more resistant to the rate of forgetting compared to discrete skills, which indicates that the types of skills being practiced and retroactive interference significantly interact with one another.
The phenomenon of retroactive interference is highly significant in the study of memory as it has sparked a historical and ongoing debate in regards to whether the process of forgetting is due to the interference of other competing stimuli, or rather the unlearning of the forgotten material.
Although modern cognitive researchers continue to debate the actual causes of forgetting (e.g., competition vs. unlearning), retroactive interference implies a general understanding that additional underlying processes play a role in memory.
New associations compete with older associations and the more recent association would win out making it impossible to remember earlier associations.
Spontaneous Recovery in MFR supports the claim of competition since after a rest period participants spontaneously remembered original pair associations that they were not able to remember right after the second test.
The associative unlearning hypothesis explains RI by saying that new associations replace the old associations in memory causing the participant to forget the initial associations.
Barnes and Underwood argued that A-C responses still outnumbering A-B responses after the delay period supports the Associative Unlearning Hypothesis over Competition.
Retroactive Interference has been localized to the left anterior ventral prefrontal cortex by magnetoencephalography (MEG) studies investigating Retroactive Interference and working memory in elderly adults.
The study found that adults 55–67 years of age showed less magnetic activity in their prefrontal cortices than the control group.
Executive control mechanisms are located in the frontal cortex and deficits in working memory show changes in the functioning of this brain area.
Massaro found that the presentation of successive auditory tones, confused perceptual short term memory, causing Retroactive Interference as the new tone inhibits the retrieval of previously heard tones.
Despite the retroactive interference noted by Wohldmann et al., researchers noted that mental practice decreased the amount of retroactive interference, suggesting that mental practice is more flexible and durable over time.
Barnes and Underwood found that when participants in the experimental condition were presented with two similar word lists, the recollection of the first word list decreased with the presentation of the second word list.
This finding contrasts the control condition as they had little Retroactive Inference when asked to recall the first word list after a period of unrelated activity.
An example scenario in which Output Interference might occur would be if one had created a list of items to purchase at a grocery store, but then neglected to take the list when leaving home.
The act of remembering a couple items on that list decreases the probability of remembering the other items on that list.
Henry L. Roediger III and Schmidt found that the act of retrieval can serve as the source of the failing to remember, using multiple experiments that tested the recall of categorized and paired associative lists.
Three experiments were carried out where subjects were first presented with category lists and then asked to recall the items in the list after being shown the category name as a cue.
Smith found that if categories with corresponding items were successfully recalled, a systematic decline would occur when recalling the items in a category across the output sequence.
In his first experiment word recall per category was greater at 60 sec than 30 sec when taking the last input category out to prevent recency effect.
In his second experiment he changed the instructions, words used, and nature of the test for retention, and showed with recognition procedure, there was Output Interference but the effect was limited to the first three output positions.
In long-term memory, Smith suggests that Output Interference has effects on extra-core material, which is represented as contextual information, rather than core material, which is highly available as a result of organization.
The results of recall performance revealed significant differences due to age where the older group recalled fewer items than the middle group who recalled fewer items than the youngest group.
Overall Smith concluded that memory decline appears with increased age with long-term memory forgetting rather than short-term memory forgetting and short-term memory was unaffected by age.
Recent research of adult’s free recall and cognitive triage displayed similar findings of recall performance being poorer in older adults compared to younger adults.
Although it was also indicated that older adults had an increased susceptibility to output interference compared to younger adults and the difference increased as additional items were recalled.
This is to say that although you remember a specific detail, over time you may have greater difficulty retrieving the detail you encoded.
If you open a bank account and not deposit or withdraw money from the account, after a period of time the bank will render the account dormant.
The bank account (the memory) is rendered dormant (the memory weakened) over time if there is not activity on the account (if the memory is not retrieved after a period of time).
Decay and interference theory differ in that Interference Theory has a second stimulus that impedes the retrieval of the first stimulus.
Interference Theory is an active process because the act of learning new information directly impedes the recollection of previously stored information.
The basis of his research looked at, when one attempts two or more tasks at the same time, why in some cases is one successful in completing their task and in other cases not.
A real-life example of this could be going to the dentist; the only place to have cavities filled is at a dentist’s office.
When the brain is attempting to complete two tasks, both tasks are present in the same mind area and compete for processing ability and speed.
Interference theory says that the learning of new information decreases the retrieval of older information and this is true in dual task interference.
It is presumed that the dominant task would be a new task as a previously accomplished task would already be stored in memory.
The new task would then successfully be completed as more mind effort is required to complete a novel task and the previously completed task would not be completed as the new task dominated the mental capacity.
Just as Interference Theory states, the completion of new tasks inhibits the completion of previously completed tasks due to capacity sharing.
The theory is that if two processes are being activated and they are not similar in any way (making cookies and going on vacation), the brain will be confused as separate cognitive areas are being activated and there is conflicting communication between the two.
Contrastingly, if the two processes are similar (making cookies and pouring milk), there will be less crosstalk and a more productive and uninterrupted cognitive processing.
Brain activation during the Stroop and Simon task was remarkably similar including anterior cingulate, supplementary motor cortex, visual association cortex, inferior temporal cortex, inferior parietal cortex, inferior frontal cortex, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and caudate nuclei.
It has been demonstrated that recall will be lower when consumers have afterwards seen an ad for a competing brand in the same product class.
Competitive brand advertising not only interferes with consumer recall of advertising in the past but also interferes with learning new distinctive brand information in the future.
When competitive advertising was presented it was shown that repetition provided no improvement in brand name recall over a single exposure.
Presenting ads in multi modalities (visual, auditory) will reduce possible interference because there are more associations or paths to cue recall than if only one modality had been used.
The first English settlers to the hill arrived in the 1630s and built a windmill atop the hill to grind grain.
Founded by the town of Boston in 1659, Copp's Hill Burying Ground is the second oldest burying ground in the city.
The cemetery's boundaries were extended several times, and the grounds contain the remains of many notable Bostonians in the thousands of graves and 272 tombs.
The cemetery was not an official stop on the Freedom Trail when it was created in 1951, but it has since been added and is much-frequented by tourists and photographers.
For several years starting in 1806, soil was taken from the top of Copp's Hill to increase the available building land by filling the Mill Pond.
Across Hull street from the Copp's Hill Burying Ground is an extremely narrow four-story spite house built shortly after the Civil War.
Copp's Hill is the highest point in the North End and is the third highest hill in Boston after Beacon Hill and Fort Hill.
In the opposite direction, the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge and the TD Garden are visible not far away.
Over local rooftops the upper levels of Custom House Tower, One International Place, and other buildings in the Financial District can be glimpsed.
The Morlocks were depicted as an underground society (both literally and figuratively) of outcast mutants living as tunnel dwellers in the sewers, abandoned tunnels, and abandoned subway lines beneath New York City.
The Morlocks were composed of mutant misfits, especially those mutants who, because of physical mutations or other conspicuous manifestations of their mutant genetics, were unable to pass as human in normal society.
Due to a series of tragedies, the original Morlocks no longer reside in subterranean New York City (except Marrow, who was one of the original Morlocks as a child), although a violent splinter cell Gene Nation and a comparable group called Those Who Live in Darkness have emerged.
According to Callisto, she formed the Morlocks by first recruiting Caliban, and then using his power to track down other mutants who were unable to integrate into normal society.
The Morlocks initially squatted in a network of abandoned, interconnected tunnels beneath Manhattan, which had originally been built as Cold War bomb shelters and then forgotten.
The X-Men were alerted to the existence of the Morlocks when their leader Callisto kidnapped Angel and intended to make him her mate.
Storm is victorious, and orders an end to their attacks on normal humans, but she does not assume leadership of the Morlocks full-time.
Against her wishes, several Morlocks later kidnap the child superheroes Power Pack so that they could be raised by the Morlock Annalee, who had lost her own children.
It is later revealed that many of the Morlocks were actually failed experiments of the Dark Beast, which is why Mister Sinister sought to destroy them.
As a way to live out the dream of Professor X, this unified society of humans and mutants lived together as the New Morlocks.
Debuting along with the rest of the Morlocks (with the exception of Caliban) it was revealed that Masque, Caliban, Callisto and Sunder founded the Morlocks under the streets of Manhattan.
It is revealed later that he actually transported the Morlocks to another dimension dubbed the Hill, whose timeline moved faster than the main Marvel Universe.
With the Morlocks presumed dead from the floods caused by Mikhail Rasputin, some of the remaining Morlocks were relocated to Selima Oasis in North Africa.
When attacked by Humanity's Last Stand, an emotional backlash caused D'Gard to assume control over Storm, who relinquished her leadership role.
A few have been seen there since, as well as a few Morlocks who chose to remain in New York City despite previous attempts on their lives.
After M-Day, some former Morlocks who lost their powers were Angel Dust, Boost, Callisto, Delphi, Irving, Marrow, Postman, Qwerty, Shatter, Tether and the probability of Feral and Thornn.
3) #54-55 that only their physical mutations were restored, not their mutant powers, which led to Feral being killed by Sabretooth.
Marrow reports that 80% of the remaining Morlocks (which was most likely already very small) are depowered now and look like humans.
One character commented that, post-M-Day, the chance of meeting a Morlock in the tunnels under New York is now harder than meeting an alligator in the Floridian sewers.
In it, a small group of mutants living in the sewers of Chicago help each other to fulfill their one last wish on the surface while trying to escape the mutant-hunting Sentinels.
They were being pursued by an agent of the Church of Humanity named Mr. Clean, a genetically engineered human who was stalking and killing mutants.
The Morlocks were largely a peaceful group that refused to follow Apocalypse's regime and for that decision they were all captured and imprisoned in the Breeding Pens for gruesome experiments by Sinister and the Beast.
After the fall of Apocalypse, a trail of escaped mutants from the Breeding Pens lead the X-Men underground, they encountered a group of scared, orphaned children called the Morlocks.
The X-Men offered to help bring them out of hiding in the sewers, but the Morlocks lashed out at them for fear of being locked up and thrown back into cages by the X-Men, now mutant-hunting officers of the newly restored human government.
The Morlocks in the Ultimate Marvel universe have a more sophisticated underground living situation that the mainstream Morlocks, including at least one mutant with energy-generating powers to provide electricity, hydroponic gardens to provide or supplement their food supply, and external air-exchange vents.
In Ultimate X-Men #80 Nightcrawler saves the Morlock named Pyro, who was outnumbered while fighting the Friends of Humanity and the police.
Born in Bandung, Java, Dutch East Indies, as the son of Herman Louis Johan Badings, an officer in the Dutch East Indies army, Hendrik Herman Badings became an orphan at an early age.
Having returned to the Netherlands, his family tried to dissuade him from studying music, and he enrolled at the Delft Polytechnical Institute (later the Technical University).
He worked as a mining engineer and palaeontologist at Delft until 1937, after which he dedicated his life entirely to music.
Though largely self-taught, he did receive some advice from Willem Pijper, the doyen of Dutch composers at the time, but their musical views differed widely and after Pijper had attempted to discourage Badings from continuing as a composer, Badings broke off contact.
In 1930 Badings had his initial big musical success when his first cello concerto (he eventually wrote a second) was performed at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
Accused after the Second World War of collaboration with the Nazi occupation forces, he was briefly banned from professional musical activity, but by 1947 he had been reinstated.
Badings used unusual musical scales and harmonies (e.g., the octatonic scale); he also used the harmonic series scale from the eighth to the fifteenth overtone.
An exceptionally prolific artist, he had produced over a thousand pieces at the time of his death, which took place at Maarheeze in 1987.
The German label CPO has committed itself to recording Badings' entire orchestral œuvre, and a Badings Festival was held in Rotterdam during October 2007.
Operation Herkules (; ) was the German code-name given to an abortive plan for the invasion of Malta during the Second World War.
Through air and sea landings, the Italians and Germans hoped to eliminate Malta as a British air and naval base and secure an uninterrupted flow of supplies across the Mediterranean Sea to Axis forces in Libya and Egypt.
Extensive preparations were made for the invasion but the success of other Axis operations – including the Battle of Gazala (26 May to 21 June 1942), the Axis capture of Tobruk on 21 June and Operation Aïda, the pursuit of the Allies into Egypt – led to Herkules being postponed and then cancelled in November 1942.
The Axis plan to invade Malta had its origin in Italian military studies conducted during Second Italo-Abyssinian War in the mid-1930s.
Given the distance between Axis airfields on Sicily and the drop zones over Malta, it was possible for the motorised transports to make four round-trips per day.
Other tanks in the unit included captured Russian T-34 medium tanks, up-armoured German light tanks (five VK 1601s and five VK 1801s) plus twelve German Panzer IVGs armed with guns.
Twenty German Panzer III tanks were also offered for use in the invasion but it is not known what unit these were to be drawn from.
These shallow-draught vessels, were capable of transporting up to 200 equipped infantry, 2–3 medium tanks, or an equivalent weight in cargo and could unload onto an open beach via a drop-down bow ramp.
Twenty German MFPs were transferred to the Mediterranean via the river Rhone to make up for an expected shortfall of Italian-built landing craft.
These included two former Strait of Messina railway ferries (converted to carry four to eight tanks each); ten passenger ships (800–1,400 men each), six former passenger ferries (400 men each), six cargo ships (3,000 tons of supplies each), 30 ex-trawlers (300 men each); five converted minelayers (500 men each) and 74 assorted motorboats (30–75 men each).
It was formed from a series of joined modules that could be towed into place and act as a temporary jetty.
The had been tested by the Army Training Unit at Le Havre in the fall of 1941 and was easily transportable by rail.
One submarine was to be stationed midway between Sicily and Malta, to act as a guide beacon for the transport aircraft on their way to and from the drop zones.
By March 1942, the set had been delivered and installed and a small group of Italian ratings had been trained in Germany on its use.
Operational testing began that spring and by May, the fleet commander Vice-Admiral Angelo Iachino had submitted a report praising its performance.
In 1942 the garrison of Malta consisted of 15 infantry battalions (11 Commonwealth, 4 Maltese) organised into four brigades totalling 26,000 men.
Tank support was provided by the 1st Independent Troop of the Royal Tank Regiment, disembarked in November 1940, which was initially equipped with four Matilda II Infantry Tanks, armed with 2-pounder (40 mm) guns, and two Vickers Mk.VIC light tanks, armed with two machine guns (part of detachments from the 7th Royal Tank Regiment and the 3rd The King's Own Hussars).
These were reinforced in January 1942 by four Cruiser Mk I and three Cruiser Mk IV tanks and a Vickers Mk.VIC light tank, with the cruisers armed with 2-pounder (40 mm) guns (part of a detachment from the 6th Royal Tank Regiment).
A date near mid-July 1942 was set for the invasion, partly to allow time to bring troops from other front line positions.
His reasons for supporting an invasion were to hinder the Allied troops fighting in Africa, as well as to remove the threat to the convoys heading to Italian-German forces with supplies, oil and men, all of which they lacked.
He prioritised the attack to such an extent that he was willing to move units from his front for the attack.
With Hitler lacking faith in the parachute divisions after Crete and in the ability of the Italian Navy to protect the invasion fleet from British naval attacks, the plan was cancelled.
After being damaged in May 2008 in the Red Sea, she returned to HMNB Devonport where she was decommissioned slightly ahead of schedule on 26 September 2008.
In fact, only was sailing south at that time but the speculation was useful to promote the apparent threat of the Royal Navy in the South Atlantic and was not corrected by the Navy or Ministry of Defence.
She remained watertight, and none of the 112 crew were injured; however, she was unable to re-submerge due to damage to her sonar.
After undertaking initial repairs at the Souda Bay NATO base on Crete on 10 June 2008, she passed through the Mediterranean Sea, with a pause (at night) some miles off Gibraltar to disembark some less critical crew.
All three pleaded guilty to the charges of neglecting to perform their duty in failing to notice that the submarine was travelling towards the pinnacle.
The Dearborn River is a tributary of the Missouri River, approximately 70 mi (113 km) long, in central Montana in the United States.
It rises in the Lewis and Clark National Forest, near Scapegoat Mountain in the Lewis and Clark Range of the Rocky Mountains at the continental divide, in western Lewis and Clark County.
The Dearborn is a Class I river for stream access for recreational purposes from the highway 431 bridge to its confluence with the Missouri river.
It is widely believed that neurons die off gradually as we age, yet some older memories can be stronger than most recent memories.
Thus, decay theory mostly affects the short-term memory system, meaning that older memories (in long-term memory) are often more resistant to shocks or physical attacks on the brain.
It is also thought that the passage of time alone cannot cause forgetting, and that decay theory must also take into account some processes that occur as more time passes.
This simply states that if a person does not access and use the memory representation they have formed the memory trace will fade or decay over time.
This led to the abandoning of the decay theory, until the late 1950s when studies by John Brown and the Petersons showed evidence of time based decay by filling the retention period by counting backwards in threes from a given number.
Studies in the 1970s by Reitman tried reviving the decay theory by accounting for certain confounds criticized by Keppel and Underwood.
Harris made an attempt to make a case for decay theory by using tones instead of word lists and his results are congruent making a case for decay theory.
One of the biggest criticisms of decay theory is that it cannot be explained as a mechanism and that is the direction that the research is headed.
Researchers disagree about whether memories fade as a function of the mere passage of time (as in decay theory) or as a function of interfering succeeding events (as in interference theory).
Evidence tends to favor interference-related decay over temporal decay, yet this varies depending on the specific memory system taken into account.
Within the short-term memory system, evidence favours an interference theory of forgetting, based on various researchers' manipulation of the amount of time between a participant's retention and recall stages finding little to no effect on how many items they are able to remember.
Looking solely at verbal short-term memory within studies that control against participants' use of rehearsal processes, a very small temporal decay effect coupled with a much larger interference decay effect can be found.
Regarding the word-length effect in short-term memory, which states that lists of longer word are harder to recall than lists of short words, researchers argue that interference plays a larger role due to articulation duration being confounded with other word characteristics.
One situation in which this shows considerable debate is within the complex-span task of working memory, where a complex task is alternated with the encoding of to-be-remembered items.
It is either argued that the amount of time taken to perform this task or the amount of interference this task involves cause decay.
A time-based resource-sharing model has also been proposed, stating that temporal decay occurs once attention is switched away from whatever information is to be remembered, and occupied by processing of the information.
This theory gives more credit to the active rehearsal of information, as refreshing items to be remembered focuses attention back on the information to be remembered in order for it to be better processed and stored in memory.
As processing and maintenance are both crucial components of working memory, both of these processes need to be taken into account when determining which theory of forgetting is most valid.
This means that if something is more meaningful to an individual, that individual may be less likely to forget it quickly.
These inconsistencies may be found due to the difficulty with conducting experiments that focus solely on the passage of time as a cause of decay, ruling out alternative explanations.
However, a close look at the literature regarding decay theory will reveal inconsistencies across several studies and researchers, making it difficult to pinpoint precisely which indeed plays the larger role within the various systems of memory.
It could be argued that both temporal decay and interference play an equally important role in forgetting, along with motivated forgetting and retrieval failure theory.
Current studies have always been limited in their abilities to establish decay due to confounding evidence such as attention effects or the operation of interference.
The future of decay theory, according to Nairne (2002), should be the development of hybrid theories that incorporate elements of the standard model while also assuming that retrieval cues play an important role in short term memory.
By broadening the view of this theory, it will become possible to account for the inconsistencies and problems that have been found with decay to date.
As most current evidence for decay leaves room for alternate explanations, studies indicating a neural basis for the idea of decay will give the theory new solid support.
(2008) found neural evidence for decay in tests demonstrating a general decline in activation in posterior regions over a delay period.
Though this decline was not found to be strongly related to performance, this evidence is a starting point in making these connections between decay and neural imaging.
Manuel Moschopoulos, Latinized as Manuel Moschopulus (), was a Byzantine commentator and grammarian, who lived during the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century and was an important figure in the Palaiologan Renaissance.
Moschopoulos was a student of Maximos Planoudes and possibly his successor as a head of a school in Constantinople, where he taught throughout his life.
His grammatical treatises formed the foundation of the labors of such promoters of classical studies as Manuel Chrysoloras, Theodorus Gaza, Guarini, and Constantine Lascaris.
Lao script or Akson Lao (Lao: ອັກສອນລາວ ) is the primary script used to write the Lao language and other minority languages in Laos.
It has 27 consonants (ພະຍັນຊະນະ ), 7 consonantal ligatures (ພະຍັນຊະນະປະສົມ ), 33 vowels (ສະຫລະ ), and 4 tone marks (ວັນນະຍຸດ ).
The Lao alphabet was adapted from the Khmer script, which itself was derived from the Pallava script, a variant of the Grantha script descended from the Brāhmī script, which was used in southern India and South East Asia during the 5th and 6th centuries AD.
Vowels can be written above, below, in front of, or behind consonants, with some vowel combinations written before, over and after.
Spaces for separating words and punctuation were traditionally not used, but a space is used and functions in place of a comma or period.
The Lao script was slowly standardized in the Mekong River valley after the various Tai principalities of the region were merged under Lan Xang in the 14th century.
However, this is less apparent today due to the communist party simplifying the spelling to be phonemic and omitting extra letters used to write words of Pali-Sanskrit origin.
According to Article 89 of the 2003 Amended Constitution of the Lao People's Democratic Republic, the Lao alphabet, though originally used solely for transcribing the Lao language, is also used to write several minority languages.
The twenty-seven consonants of the Lao alphabet are divided into three tone classes—high (ສູງ ), middle (ກາງ ), and low (ຕ່ຳ )—which determine the tonal pronunciation of the word in conjunction with the four tone marks and distinctions between short and long vowels.
Each letter has an acrophonical name that either begins with or features the letter prominently, and is used to teach the letter and serves to distinguish them from other, homophonous consonants.
The letter ອ is a special null consonant used as a mandatory anchor for vowels, which cannot stand alone, and also to serve as a vowel in its own right.
A 1999 dictionary does not include it when listing the full alphabet, but does use it to spell many country names.
However, as the Lao vocabulary began to incorporate more foreign names (such as Europe, Australia, and America) it filled a need and is now taught in schools.
It is generally used as the first consonant of a syllable, or to follow a leading consonant, rarely as a final consonant.
Lao also uses digraphs based on combinations of silent ຫ ຫ່ານ with certain other consonants, some of which also have special ligature forms that are optionally used.
Because the first silent component is of the 'high' tone class, all the digraphs and ligatures are also of the high tone class.
The older versions of the script also included special forms for combinations of ພ (pʰ) + ຍ (ɲ), ສ (s) + ນ (n), and ມ (m) + ລ (l).
In addition, consonant clusters that had the second component of ຣ (r) or ລ (l) were written with a special form ຼ underneath the consonant.
Since these were not pronounced in Lao, they were removed during various spelling reforms, and this symbol only appears in the ligature ຫຼ.
Vowels are constructed from only a handful of basic symbols, but they can be combined with other vowel forms and semi-vowels to represent the full repertoire of diphthongs and triphthongs used in the language.
Vowels cannot stand alone or begin a syllable, so the silent consonant, ອ, which can function as a vowel in its own right, is used as a base when spelling a word that begins with a vowel sound.
Although a short dash is used on this page to represent the consonant, in standard Lao orthography a small x symbol is used for this purpose.
Unicode does not make it available as part of the Lao alphabet set, and a lower-case sans-serif x is often used instead.
In December 2011, the Lao Ministry of Science and Technology, in cooperation with the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications, officially authorized the use of Phetsarath OT as the standard national font.
The Phetsarath OT font was already adopted by the government in 2009; however, Lao users were unable to use it, as international software manufactures did not include the font in their software systems.
The Laos Ministry of Post and Telecommunications asked local technicians to develop a software system of international standard that would enable the Phetsarath OT font to be like other font systems that local users could access.
In March 2011, the Lao company XY Mobile presented the Phetsarath OT on mobile phones as well as tablet PCs using the mobile device operating system Android.
Throughout the chart, grey (unassigned) code points are shown because the assigned Lao characters intentionally match the relative positions of the corresponding Thai characters.
This has created the anomaly that the Lao letter ສ is not in alphabetical order, since it occupies the same code-point as the Thai letter ส.
Rising from the confluence of Rocky Creek and several other small streams, the East Gallatin begins about one mile (1.6 km) east of downtown Bozeman, Montana.
The East Gallatin river is a popular trout fishing stream and holds good populations of rainbow and brown trout as well as mountain whitefish.
Access is limited to country road crossings and two public assess sites maintained by the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks department.
Numerous spring creeks, most notably Ben Hart and Thompson, feed the East Gallatin throughout its course and provide excellent trout fishing as well.
The title of Earl of Devonshire has been created twice in the Peerage of England, firstly in 1603 for the Blount family and then recreated in 1618 for the Cavendish family, in whose possession the earldom remains.
It is not to be confused with, and is separate from, the more ancient title of Earl of Devon which belongs to the Courtenay family.
General elections were held in Fiji between 15 and 29 April 1972, the first since independence from the United Kingdom in 1970.
They were characterised by the lack of rancour between racial groups, typical of the 1966 general election and the 1968 by-elections.
The result was a landslide for the Alliance Party of the Prime Minister, Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara, which won 33 of the 52 seats, and surprised many observers by capturing almost 25 percent of the Indo-Fijian vote.
The election re-affirmed the political allegiances of the past, with the Alliance Party winning all the Fijian Communal seats, with 82% of the votes, as well as all the General Communal seats.
After the election, cooperation between the two major parties continued with R. D. Patel of the NFP elected the speaker of the Alliance-dominated House of Representatives.
Ray Lyman Wilbur (April 13, 1875 – June 26, 1949) was an American medical doctor who served as the third president of Stanford University and was the 31st United States Secretary of the Interior.
Wilbur was born in Boonesboro, Iowa, the son of attorney and businessman Dwight Locke Wilbur and the former Edna Maria Lyman.
He was raised with a brother, Curtis D. Wilbur, who served as the U.S. Secretary of the Navy under President Calvin Coolidge, and was a judge of the Supreme Court of California.
He then studied at Cooper Medical College in San Francisco (then of the University of California, San Francisco, now the medical school of Stanford), receiving a Doctor of Medicine degree in 1899.
While a freshman at his Stanford home, Wilbur met future President Herbert Hoover, who was drumming up business on campus for a local laundry.
On December 5, 1898, Wilbur married the former Marguerite May Blake, who was a college friend of Lou Hoover, Herbert Hoover's wife.
The couple had five children (Jessica Wilbur Ely, Blake Colburn Wilbur, Dwight Locke Wilbur, Lois Wilbur Hopper, and Ray Lyman Wilbur, Jr.).
In 1909, he became a professor of medicine and in 1911 was named dean of the new Stanford University School of Medicine, located at the former Cooper Medical College, where Wilbur had received his M.D.
In 1916, he was chosen to serve as president of Stanford and continued in that position until 1943, including during his tenure as Secretary of the Interior.
Upon his inauguration as its president, he said that he intended to devote the rest of his life to Stanford, and he did.
Wilbur reorganized graduate education, established the Lower Division, introduced Independent Study, and regrouped academic departments within the Schools of the University.
In 1923, he was one of the doctors called in to consult when President Warren G. Harding fell ill in San Francisco, and was present at his deathbed.
Wilbur belonged to several private men's clubs, including the Bohemian Club, the Pacific-Union Club, the Commonwealth Club and the University Club in San Francisco.
When the California Legislature established the State Park Commission in 1927, Wilbur was named to the original commission, along with Major Frederick Russell Burnham, W. F. Chandler, William Edward Colby, and Henry W. O'Melveny.
On March 5, 1929, President Hoover nominated Wilbur as the U.S. Secretary of the Interior confirmed by the Senate, and assumed office the same day.
As Interior Secretary, Wilbur addressed corruption in granting contracts for naval oil reserves, which had caused controversy during the Harding administration's Teapot Dome scandal.
The only animals and birds I know that have economic security are those that have been domesticated—and the economic security they have is controlled by the barbed-wire fence, the butcher's knife and the desire of others.
The organizations are named after John Wycliffe, who was responsible for the first complete English translation of the whole Bible into Middle English.
, translations of either portions of the Bible, the New Testament, or the whole Bible exist in over 3,300 of the 7,099 languages used on Earth.
Wycliffe USA bases its philosophy on Townsend's Protestantism which regards the intercultural and multilinguistic spread of Christianity as a divine command.
Wycliffe USA is based in Orlando, FL, but partners with many organizations and churches around the world to help facilitate the work of Bible translation.
It is the largest of the many independent Wycliffe organizations that together are part of Wycliffe Global Alliance, which has its headquarters in Singapore.
SIL International, originally the Summer Institute of Linguistics, began as a small summer training session for missionaries in Arkansas in 1934.
A partner organization of SIL International, JAARS, originally the Jungle Aviation And Radio Service, based out of Waxhaw, NC, provides critical transportation and technical solutions for SIL in support of Bible translation across the globe.
The Seed Company is a subsidiary of Wycliffe USA that provides support to people doing Bible translations for their own languages.
The Khmer script (; ) is an abugida (alphasyllabary) script used to write the Khmer language (the official language of Cambodia).
The Khmer script was adapted from the Pallava script, which ultimately descended from the Brahmi script, which was used in southern India and South East Asia during the 5th and 6th centuries AD.
The oldest dated inscription in Khmer was found at Angkor Borei District in Takéo Province south of Phnom Penh and dates from 611.
There are some independent vowel characters, but vowel sounds are more commonly represented as dependent vowels, additional marks accompanying a consonant character, and indicating what vowel sound is to be pronounced after that consonant (or consonant cluster).
Most dependent vowels have two different pronunciations, depending in most cases on the inherent vowel of the consonant to which they are added.
A consonant's series determines the pronunciation of the dependent vowel symbols which may be attached to it, and in some positions the sound of the inherent vowel is itself pronounced.
The two series originally represented voiceless and voiced consonants respectively (and are still referred to as such in Khmer); sound changes during the Middle Khmer period affected vowels following voiceless consonants, and these changes were preserved even though the distinctive voicing was lost (see phonation in Khmer).
Most subscript consonants resemble the corresponding consonant symbol, but in a smaller and possibly simplified form, although in a few cases there is no obvious resemblance.
Most subscript consonants are written directly below other consonants, although subscript ' appears to the left, while a few others have ascending elements which appear to the right.
The first consonant in a cluster is written using the main consonant symbol, with the second (and third, if present) attached to it in subscript form.
In initial clusters this subscript is always pronounced , but in medial positions it is in some words and in others.
The second, third and fourth of these are rare, and occur only for etymological reasons in a few Pali and Sanskrit loanwords.
Because the sound /n/ is common, and often grammatically productive, in Mon-Khmer languages, the fifth of this group, , was adapted as an a-series counterpart of ' for convenience (all other nasal consonants are o-series).
A Khmer word cannot end with more than one consonant sound, so subscript consonants at the end of words (which appear for etymological reasons) are not pronounced, although they may come to be pronounced when the same word begins a compound.
In some words, a single medial consonant symbol represents both the final consonant of one syllable and the initial consonant of the next.
The letter, which represented /p/ in Indic scripts, also often maintains the sound in certain words borrowed from Sanskrit and Pali.
These mostly represent sounds which do not occur in native words, or for which the native letters are restricted to one of the two vowel series.
The vowel is pronounced after the consonant (or cluster), even though some of the symbols have graphical elements which appear above, below or to the left of the consonant character.
Most of the vowel symbols have two possible pronunciations, depending on the inherent vowel of the consonant to which it is added.
Absence of a dependent vowel (or diacritic) often implies that a syllable-initial consonant is followed by the sound of its inherent vowel.
For any consonant cluster including a combination of these sounds, a following dependent vowel is pronounced according to the dominant consonant, regardless of its position in the cluster.
The IPA values given are representative of dialects from the northwest and central plains regions, specifically from the Battambang area, upon which Standard Khmer is based.
Vowel pronunciation varies widely in other dialects such as Northern Khmer, where diphthongs are leveled, and Western Khmer, in which breathy voice and modal voice phonations are still contrastive.
The first four configurations listed here are treated as dependent vowels in their own right, and have names constructed in the same way as for the other dependent vowels (described in the previous section).
Consonants may be written with no dependent vowel as an initial consonant of a weak syllable, an initial consonant of a strong syllable or as the final letter of a written word.
Consonants written as the final letter of a word usually represent a word-final sound and are pronounced without any following vowel and, in the case of stops, with no audible release as in the examples above.
However, in some words adopted from Pali and Sanskrit, what would appear to be a final consonant under normal rules can actually be the initial consonant of a following syllable and pronounced with a short vowel as if followed by .
Most consonants, including a few of the subscripts, form ligatures with the vowel (ា) and with all other dependent vowels that contain the same cane-like symbol.
This combines with the a vowel in the form , created to differentiate it from the consonant symbol and also from the ligature for with ().
The independent vowels are used in a small number of words, mostly of Indic origin, and consequently there is some inconsistency in their use and pronunciations.
For the purpose of dictionary ordering of words, main consonants, subscript consonants and dependent vowels are all significant; and when they appear in combination, they are considered in the order in which they would be spoken (main consonant, subscript, vowel).
The order of the consonants and of the dependent vowels is the order in which they appear in the above tables.
A syllable written without any dependent vowel is treated as if it contained a vowel character that precedes all the visible dependent vowels.
As mentioned above, the four configurations with diacritics exemplified in the syllables are treated as dependent vowels in their own right, and come in that order at the end of the list of dependent vowels.
Vowels precede consonants in the ordering, so a combination of main and subscript consonants comes after any instance in which the same main consonant appears unsubscripted before a vowel.
Words spelled with a consonant modified by a diacritic follow words spelled with the same consonant and dependent vowel symbol but without the diacritic.
The numerals of the Khmer script, similar to that used by other civilizations in Southeast Asia, are also derived from the southern Indian script.
Spaces are used within sentences in roughly the same places as commas might be in English, although they may also serve to set off certain items such as numbers and proper names.
U+17D3 was originally intended for use in writing lunar dates, but its use is now discouraged (see the Khmer Symbols block hereafter).
The remaining symbols in this block denote the days of a lunar month: those in the U+19Ex series for waxing days, and those in the U+19Fx series for waning days.
Theodorus Gaza was born a Greek in an illustrious family in Thessaloniki, Macedonia in about c. 1400 when the city was under its first period of Turkish rule (it was restored to Byzantine rule in 1403).
In December 1440 he was in Pavia, where he became acquainted with Iacopo da San Cassiano, who introduced him to his master Vittorino da Feltre.
In 1447 he became professor of Greek in the newly founded University of Ferrara, to which students in great numbers from all parts of Italy were soon attracted by his fame as a teacher.
He had taken some part in the councils which were held in Siena (1423), Ferrara (1438), and Florence (1439), with the object of bringing about a reconciliation between the Greek and Latin Churches; and in 1450, at the invitation of Pope Nicholas V, he went to Rome, where he was for some years employed by his patron in making Latin translations from Aristotle and other Greek authors.
In Rome, he continued his teaching activities: it was reported that on one occasion Pope Sixtus IV commissioned Gaza to translate Aristotle's works into Latin, with the pay of a number of gold pieces; however on receiving the pay Gaza was insulted at the amount paid, and furiously cast the money into the Tiber river.
Amongst his students were fellow Byzantine Greeks Demetrius Chalcondyles, a leading scholar of the Renaissance period and Andronicus Callistus, a cousin of Theodore Gaza's.
After the death of Nicholas (1455), being unable to make a living at Rome, Gaza removed to Naples, where he enjoyed the patronage of Alphonso the Magnanimous for two years (1456–1458).
Shortly afterwards he was appointed by Cardinal Bessarion to a benefice in Calabria, where the later years of his life were spent, and where he died about 1475 and was buried in the Basilian monastery of San Giovanni a Piro.
Gaza stood high in the opinion of most of his learned contemporaries, but still higher in that of the scholars of the succeeding generation.
His Greek grammar (in four books), written in Greek, first printed at Venice in 1495, and afterwards partially translated by Erasmus in 1521, although in many respects defective, especially in its syntax, was for a long time the leading textbook.
In English slang, a Croydon facelift (sometimes council house facelift, or in Northern Ireland a Millie facelift) is a particular hairstyle worn by some women.
The supposed result is that the skin of the forehead and face are pulled up and back, producing the effects of a facelift.
However, its culture has also been affected by rapid change, as the country was transformed from an impoverished nomadic society into a rich commodity producer in just a few years in the 1970s.
The Wahhabi Islamic movement, which arose in the 18th century and is sometimes described as austerely puritanical, now predominates in the country.
However, many of the traditional restrictions have been lifting recently by the government including allowing women to drive and many other female-related issues.
On the other hand, the things prohibited by Islam are banned in the country, for example, alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited.
In Saudi Arabia, Islam is not just adhered politically by the government but also it has a great influence on the people's culture and everyday life.
Unlike many other Muslim countries, Saudi Arabia has been following a strict version of Islam where for example, men and women are segregated in universities.
Another example of the strict adherence to Islamic values can be seen in women who are required to wear the traditional ”abaya” (long, fully covered dress).
However, women are no longer required to wear Abayas in public but are required to dress modestly as a form of respecting the Saudi culture.
Additionally, Saudi Arabia is the only Muslim country where shops and other public facilities are required to close during prayer time which takes place five times a day and employees and customers are sent off to pray.
The kingdom uses not the international Gregorian calendar, but the lunar Islamic calendar, with the start of each lunar month determined not ahead of time by astronomical calculation, but only after the crescent moon is sighted by the proper religious authorities.
Civil workers in the governmental sector used to receive their salaries not according to the international Gregorian calendar, but the lunar Islamic calendar.
This step was taken to reduce the adverse effects suffered by Saudi businesses due to the difference in weekdays and weekends between Saudi Arabia and the other regional and international counterparts.
Id al-Fitr comes after the holy month of Ramadan and employees enjoy a customary 5 to 10 days away from work.
However, some other religious days that are considered as public holidays in other Muslim countries are not given days off in Saudi Arabia including, the Islamic New Year, Mawlid Alnabi -Prophet Muhammad’s Birthday- and ‘Ashura day.
Public support for the traditional political/religious structure of the kingdom is so strong that one researcher interviewing Saudis found virtually no support for reforms to secularize the state.
Because of religious restrictions, Saudi culture lacks any diversity of religious expression or buildings but annual festivals such as the Janadriah Festival which celebrates Saudi Culture, custom and handicraft held in a specialized arena just north of Riyadh and public events such as The Annual Book Fair are open to the public and are very popular although policed by the religious police.
The festivals (such as Day of Ashura) and communal public worship of Shia Muslims who make up an estimated 10-15% are suppressed.
Celebration of other (non-Wahhabi) Islamic holidays, such as the Muhammad's birthday and the Day of Ashura, (an important holiday for Shiites), are tolerated only when celebrated locally and on a small scale.
No churches, temples or other non-Muslim houses of worship permitted in the country (although there are nearly a million Christians as well as Hindus and Buddhists among the foreign workers).
And at least one religious minority, the Ahmadiyya, are banned with adherents being deported according to a 2007 report by Human Rights Watch.
According to authors Harvey Tripp and Peter North, Bedouin make up most of the judiciary, religious leaders and National Guard (which protects the throne) of the country.
Saudi male strangers), thought by some to be a continuation of the desert tradition of offering strangers hospitality to ensure their survival.
The religion and customs of Saudi Arabia dictate not only conservative dress for men and women, but a uniformity of dress unique to most of the Middle East.
Among young men, since around 2000, Western dress, particularly T-shirts and jeans have become quite common leisure wear, particularly in the Eastern Province.
As of 2008, 90% of those employed in the private sector were foreigners, and several decades long efforts to replace significant numbers of them with Saudis have been unsuccessful.
One explanation for this culture of leisure is the hot, dry climate of the peninsula which allowed nomadic herding but permitted agriculture only in a small area (the southwest corner).
For women, most of whom have their own jobs, it is routine (in fact the only outside activity) to pay visits to each other during the day, though the ban on women driving can make transportation a problem.
For men, traditional hours involve a nap in late afternoon, (after work if they are employed), and then socializing that begins after maghrib (roughly between 5 and 6:30 pm) and can last until well after midnight.
Being part of a closed, family-oriented society, Saudis tend to prefer to do business with, socialize with, and communicate with family members rather than outsiders, be they foreigners, or Saudis from other clans.
Although a Muslim woman is forbidden to marry a non-Muslim man, the reverse is permitted, although non-Muslim women are often strongly encouraged to convert to Islam.
There have been a number of cases of foreign women marrying Arabs and discovering they are unable to endure the restrictions of local culture, deciding to divorce and finding that the Saudi father has custody in his home country.
He can rescind the divorce if this was done in the heat of the moment, but only if the wife agrees (and only on three occasions).
The husband must maintain a divorced wife and any children from the marriage if the wife is unable to support herself, although she may have trouble receiving timely payments.
Children generally remain with their mother until about five or six, after which boys return to their father to begin their formal education.
Saudi is one of ten countries where homosexuality is punishable by death (the punishment of stoning to death may be applied to married men who've engaged in homosexual acts or any non-Muslim married or unmarried who commits homosexual acts with a Muslim) as well as fines, flogging, prison time, on first offense.
Older brothers—even if older by only a few days—should have their hand kissed by younger brothers, sit above them on formal occasions, enter a room before them.
Women who go on even short trips of a few days are expected to visit senior relatives and even close neighbors to bid them goodbye, and upon returning, make another round of visits to the same individuals to pay her respects and dispense small gifts.
Many outsiders are struck by the superficial resemblance of Saudi cities (at least the major cities such as Jeddah,Riyadh and the eastern province), with their superhighways, shopping malls and fast food, to those of post-World War II western cities and suburbs.
As late as 1970, most Saudis lived a subsistence life in the rural provinces, but the kingdom has urbanized rapidly in the last half of the 20th century.
Saudi houses and housing compounds are often noted for the high walls (3 or 4 metres high) surrounding them, explained as useful in keeping out sandstorms and/or reflective of the families' self-contained outlook on the world.
Saudi Arabia, and specifically the Hejaz, as the cradle of Islam, has many of the most significant historic Muslim sites, including the two holiest sites of Mecca and Medina.
One of the King's titles is Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, the two mosques being Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, (which contains Islam's most sacred place, the Kaaba), and Al-Masjid al-Nabawi in Medina, which contains Muhammad's tomb.
However, Saudi Wahhabism doctrine is hostile to any reverence given to historical or religious places of significance for fear that it may give rise to 'shirk' (that is, idolatry).
As a consequence, under Saudi rule, an estimated 95% of Mecca's historic buildings, most over a thousand years old, have been demolished for religious reasons.
Critics claim that over the last 50 years, 300 historic sites linked to Muhammad, his family or companions have been lost, leaving fewer than 20 structures remaining in Mecca that date back to the time of Muhammad.
Demolished structures include the mosque originally built by Muhammad's daughter Fatima, and other mosques founded by Abu Bakr (Muhammad's father-in-law and the first Caliph), Umar (the second Caliph), Ali (Muhammad's son-in-law and the fourth Caliph), and Salman al-Farsi (another of Muhammad's companions).
Other historic buildings that have been destroyed include the house of Khadijah, the wife of Muhammad, the house of Abu Bakr, now the site of the local Hilton hotel; the house of Ali-Oraid, the grandson of Muhammad, and the Mosque of abu-Qubais, now the location of the King's palace in Mecca.
While women were forbidden to drive motor vehicles until June 24, 2018 and were consequently limited in mobility, they traditionally have often had considerable informal power in the home.
They decided where their children would go to school, when and whom they would marry, whether their husbands would accept new jobs, with whom the family socialized, and where the family would live and spend vacations.
Outside the home, a number of Saudi women have risen to the top of some professions or otherwise achieved prominence; for example, Dr. Salwa Al-Hazzaa is head of the ophthalmology department at King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh and was the late King Fahad's personal ophthalmologist.
However employment for women is limited, and urban middle and upper class women spend much time in socializing with the extended family and close friends.
However in 2019 Members of the Saudi Shoura Council in 2019 approved fresh regulations for minor marriages that will see to outlaw marrying off 15-year-old children and force the need for court approval for those under 18.
Chairman of the Human Rights Committee at the Shoura Council, Dr. Hadi Al-Yami, said that introduced controls were based on in-depth studies presented to the body.
He pointed out that the regulation, vetted by the Islamic Affairs Committee at the Shoura Council, has raised the age of marriage to 18 and prohibited it for those under 15.
Female literacy (81%) is lower than that of males, but the percentage of university graduates who are women (60%) is higher.
Outside of Saudi, foreign sources have shown that discrimination of women is a significant problem and that there is an absence of laws criminalizing violence against women.
However, women above 18 will soon be allowed to travel abroad without taking their guardians permission as a new law is going to be enacted in this regards in 2019.
In August 2019, the law has been already enacted and women above 21 are allowed to travel without a prior permission.
In the courts, the testimony of a woman equals half of a man’s and the testimony of one man equals that of two women in family and inheritance law.
Men need no legal justification to unilaterally divorce their wives (talaq), while a woman can only obtain a divorce with the consent of her husband or judicially if her husband has harmed her.
In health, obesity is a problem among middle and upper class Saudi women, who have domestic servants to do traditional work and have limited ability to leave their house.
School sports for girls is forbidden, but as of April 2014, Saudi authorities in the education ministry have been asked by the Shoura Council to consider lifting that ban (with the proviso that any sports conform to Sharia rules on dress and gender segregation, according to the official SPA news agency).
Like many Muslim countries of the Middle East, Saudi Arabia has a high population growth rate and high percentage of its population under 30 years of age.
Factors such as the decline in per capita income from the failure of oil revenue to keep up with population growth, exposure to youth lifestyles of the outside world, lack of access to quality education and employment opportunity, change in child rearing practices and attitudes towards the ruling royal family—indicate their lives and level of satisfaction will be different than the generation before them.
Saudi youth are exposed to youth lifestyles of the outside world via the internet, as dating, and concerts are banned in their country.
The average age of the king and crown prince is 74, while 50–60% of Saudis are under twenty, creating a significant generation gap between rulers and ruled.
Unemployment among 20- to 24-year-olds is 39% – 45% for women and 30.3% for men—compared to an official unemployment rate of 10% circa 2012.
A 2004 school survey carried out in the kingdom's three biggest cities found that 45% of teenage boys were involved to some degree in joyriding.
Since the 1960s there has been a significant number of guest workers/foreign expatriates allowed into Saudi on work visas, and these now make up around 20–30% of the population of the country.
One source places workers from Gulf oil producing countries at the top, another places Americans there, but all agree that Nationals from places like Bangladesh, Yemen and Philippines are at the bottom.
While foreign workers from Western countries are now a small minority, numbering only approximately 100,000, most of whom live in compounds or gated communities.
Approximately one million Bangladeshis, Indians, Filipinos, Nepalis, Pakistanis and Yemenis left between the campaign's beginning and the deadline (November 4, 2013), with authorities planning to expel another one million illegal foreigners in 2014.
Prior to this workers were sometimes not hired or expelled as a way of registering Saudi disapproval of the workers' country.
Saudi Arabia expelled 800,000 Yemenis in 1990 and 1991 during the Gulf War due to Yemen's support for Saddam Hussein against Saudi Arabia, and cut the number of Bangladeshis allowed to enter Saudi in 2013 after the Bangladeshi government cracked down on the Islamist Jamaat-e Islami party there.
The Saudi–Yemen barrier was constructed by Saudi Arabia against an influx of illegal immigrants and against the smuggling of drugs and weapons.
A 2004 law passed by Saudi Arabia's Council of Ministers, entitles Muslim expatriates of all nationalities (except Palestinian) who have resided in the kingdom for ten years to apply for citizenship with priority being given to holders of degrees in various scientific fields.
As many Saudies are originally descended from tribes of sheep and goat herders, many Saudi dishes are mainly made of sheep meat.
Saudi Arabian cuisine is similar to that of the surrounding countries in the Arabian Peninsula, and has been heavily influenced by Turkish, Persian, and African food.
Nevertheless, cows, sheep, chicken and other types of animals can't be eaten unless they are slaughtered according to the Islamic law.
While traditionally Saudis ate sitting on the floor using the right hand or flat bread to take food from a roasted lamb, goat or camel carcass, the practice of eating while sitting on a chair at a table has become more standard practice, if not the use of knives and forks.
Accordingly, over 18 million date palms are planted in the country and 600 million pounds of date are produced every year.
Thus, dates are considered one of the main and permanent fruit in Saudi Arabia, particularly in Ramadan when dates are eaten in sunset by fasters to break their fast.
Educated Saudis are well informed of issues of the Arab world, the Muslim world, and the world at large, but freedom of the press and public expression of opinion are not recognized by the government.
News stories, public speeches and other acts of personal expression cannot conflict with traditional Islamic values, or dissent from government policy, insult government officials, especially the royal family, and cannot delve too deeply into certain sensitive and taboo subject matters that might embarrass the government or spread dissent, i.e.
the role of women in Saudi society, the treatment of Shiite Muslims, damage caused by natural disasters, or social problems such as the AIDS-HIV pandemic and human trafficking.
Informal public discussion of public policy is not actively encouraged, although it is not expressly illegal per se, unless it is deemed to be promoting immorality, dissent or disloyalty.
There are 60 football clubs participating in three main professional football league levels; the Saudi Professional League involving 16 football clubs, Prince Mohammad bin Salman League with 20 clubs and Second Division with 24 clubs.
The Saudi Arabian national football team has qualified five times for FIFA World Cup competitions, in 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, and most recently, in 2018.
Horse racing is also another diversion in Saudi Arabia which has a historical and cultural legacy where Friday afternoon is the traditional time of horse racing in Riyadh, the Saudi Capital.
There are camel racetracks in most of the kingdom's major centres, and races for prize money on many weekends throughout the winter months.
As of April 2014, Saudi authorities in the education ministry have been asked by the Shoura Council to consider lifting a state school ban on sports for girls with the proviso that any sports conform to Sharia rules on dress and gender segregation, according to the official SPA news agency.
They were two runner Sarah Attar, and Cariman Abu al-Jadail joined by judo athlete Wujud Fahmi and fencing competitor Lubna al-Omair.
In 2018, more than 1300 girls participated in a 3 km marathon, al-Ahsa Runs, for the first time in the country.
With the advent of oil wealth in the 20th century came exposure to outside influences, such as Western housing styles, furnishings, and clothes.
Calligraphy is the art of forming arranging beautiful letters and symbols, and it is among the dominant art forms in Saudi Arabia.
Apart from the dominant art forms, there were some portrait paintings and sculptures produced by some artists in the 1960s like Artist Dia Aziz Dia from Jeddah.
The ten-day-long Jenadriyah National Festival celebrates the founding of the kingdom and showcases Saudi culture and heritage, traditional crafts such as pottery and woodcutting, folk dance and traditional songs.
Of the native dances, the most popular is a martial line dance known as the Al Ardha, which includes lines of men, frequently armed with swords or rifles, dancing to the beat of drums and tambourines.
The literary renaissance began during the first quarter of the 20th century where the literary genre of poetry was improved in language and number of poets.
Novel writing is another literary genre in Saudi literature where the first Saudi novel was The Twins (1930) by Abdul Alquddus Alansari.
All cinemas and theaters were closed in 1980 as a political response to the Islamic revival and the increase in Islamist activism, most particularly the 1979 seizure of the Grand Mosque in Mecca.
The establishment of the General Authority for Entertainment in 2016 has pushed for entertainment options of the including cinemas, public concerts, international conferences, competitions, singing show and other cultural activities.
Heythrop College, University of London, was a public university and the specialist philosophy and theology college of the University of London located in Kensington in London and the oldest constituent college of the federal University of London, being founded in 1614 by the Society of Jesus.
Heythrop joined the University of London in 1971, maintaining its Roman Catholic links and ethos while offering an educational experience that respected all faiths and perspectives.
Heythrop closed at the end of the 2017/18 academic year, with the final graduations taking place at the Senate House on 12 December 2018.
Heythrop was situated on Kensington Square in London, whilst students also had access to University of London facilities, such as Senate House and its extensive library.
The college had three main departments offering undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses in philosophy, theology and related social sciences as well as five specialist institutes and centres that promoted research in their respective fields.
Heythrop had a relatively small student population of, allowing one-to-one tutorship with its academic staff, one of the few institutions outside of Oxford or Cambridge to do so in the United Kingdom.
The college was also widely regarded as being home to one of the largest philosophy and theology related libraries in Britain; following the college's closure the library (which remains the property of the Jesuits in Britain) is available thorough the University of London's Senate House Library.
In June 2015 the Governing Body concluded that the College in its current form, as a constituent college of the University of London, would come to an end in 2018.
The college attempted to negotiate an arrangement with another British university that would have enabled it to continue existing in some form, but these efforts were unsuccessful.
Meanwhile, its site (on prime Kensington real estate) has been sold, with some of the proceeds reverting to the Religious of the Assumption, and is to be redeveloped as a luxury retirement complex.
It was confirmed in June 2017 that the college would close in October 2018, with no plans to transfer any departments or continue on another location.
From 1 August 2017, the University of London took over the academic direction previously given by Heythrop for the Bachelor of Divinity and related Diploma and Certificate of Higher Education programmes offered through the University of London (Worldwide).
The Faculties of theology and philosophy for English Jesuits were founded in 1614 by the Society of Jesus in Leuven, Belgium, before moving in 1624 to Liège.
Whilst in Liège, the College received patronage from Maximilian I, Elector of Bavaria, and the blue and white of the Elector's coat of arms was incorporated into the college's own coat of arms.
During the French Revolutionary Wars, the College moved to Great Britain with the faculty of philosophy being located at Stonyhurst College in Lancashire and theology in St Beuno's College in Denbighshire.
Being over 400 years old, Heythrop is one of the oldest universities in England, although its origins lie outside England itself.
The University of London's charter of foundation, written in 1836, enabled it to grant degrees not only to students of the two existing colleges, University College and King's College, but to students of other colleges around the country who had reached the required standard.
However, the college sought integration with the British educational system and moved to London in 1970, gaining a Royal Charter of incorporation as a School of the University of London in the Faculties of Theology and Arts on 11 March 1971, and began to award University of London degrees.
Upon moving to London, the College retained the name of its previous home, and has continued to be called 'Heythrop College'.
In January 2014, the College received decrees from the Congregation for Catholic Education of the Holy See, therefore officially reactivating its ecclesiastical faculties under the patronage of Robert Bellarmine.
While the college still retains its original function as a centre for the education of future priests and ministers of the Catholic Church, its student body is now much larger, more international and more diverse.
In September 2013, Heythrop College announced that it would stop recruiting undergraduates for University of London degrees, noting its current discussions for a strategic partnership with St Mary's University, Twickenham.
The premises were previously in use by the Roman Catholic Religious of the Assumption, a religious order of sisters founded by Saint Marie-Eugénie de Jésus.
A number of the sisters continue to live on the current site, and the Marie Eugénie Chapel is available for student use, where a College Mass is celebrated weekly, with the College choir.
A chaplaincy was provided for all students, in addition to the University of London chaplaincy, as well as an Islamic prayer room.
Its library housed one of the largest philosophical and theological collections in the United Kingdom which is now located at Senate House.
On this site the Alban Hall of Residence was also located, the college's sole residence for its selective student population, as well as the students union, and fully catered student dining hall.
Through Heythrop's affiliation with the Jesuits it also served as the London centre for a Jesuit University in the United States, Fordham University.
Meeting facilities on the premises were often used by external groups: one such meeting in 2012 led to the formation of A Call To Action (ACTA, British Catholic Association).
The College library contains some 180,000 volumes, which constitutes one of the largest Theology and Philosophy libraries in the United Kingdom.
The Theology, social sciences and literature collections were held in the Copleston Wing of the College while Philosophy collections were held in the Maria Assumpta library in its main building.
It has a large and important collection of pre-1801 books, such as Edward Baddeley's collections and a first edition of Isaac Newton's Opticks.
Students at Heythrop College were also able to access the Senate House Library, and the libraries of the other colleges of the University of London due to the college's membership and specialist status.
Through the University of London, Heythrop was also able to offer access to a wide range of digital journals and learning resources, such as JSTOR, giving its students a variety of material to access.
These were the 'Centre for Christianity and Inter-religious Dialogue', the 'Centre for Eastern Christianity', the 'Centre for Philosophy of Religion', the 'Religious Life Institute' and the 'Heythrop Institute for Religion and Society'.
Significantly, Heythrop College, Oxford University and Cambridge University made up the only three universities in the United Kingdom to offer one-to-one tutorials after every assignment.
This high level of tutelage made the college noted for excellence in research and a high proportion of undergraduate students went on to study at a postgraduate level.
The combined results for all elements of the REF placed Heythrop at 16th in the overall ranking for the Theology & Religious Studies unit of assessment.
The Philosophy Department offered a variety of specialist philosophy degrees, either as single honours or as joint honours with theology, ethics or religious studies.
The College had a thriving postgraduate research community, with students often attached to one of the many Institutes or Centres at the College.
Students were free to choose from a wide range of modules, embracing both the continental and analytic traditions, as well as the history of philosophy.
The department had also recently attempted to expand its programme with the introduction of a 'Politics' module into a small amount of its undergraduate degrees.
In addition to theology, religious studies and ethics, Heythrop was the first college in the world to offer undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses specifically focused upon the Abrahamic Religions, a course led by members of each of the three Abrahamic faiths.
The Theology department also offered a Divinity programme to candidates for the Catholic priesthood, making it a centre of Roman Catholic training and learning in the United Kingdom and students not following a vocation were encouraged to take one of the broader theology courses.
The college had a unique history and range of teaching in pastoral theology and allied disciplines, with a strong profile both in the United Kingdom and internationally.
The Pastoral and Social Studies Department offered degree programmes in the following fields: Pastoral Theology and Practical Theology, including Sociology of Religion; Christian Spirituality; Ethics; Liturgy; Canon Law; and Psychology, including a unique specialism in the Psychology of Religion.
It was named after St. Robert Bellarmine, a Cardinal and Doctor of the Catholic Church to whom Heythrop has been dedicated to since 1926.
The faculties were opened up to those outside the Society of Jesus in 1964, when the college (then located in Oxfordshire) became a 'Pontifical Athenaeum'.
However, after moving to London and becoming established as a constituent college of the University of London the faculties became dormant.
They were re-activated on 17 September 2013 by a decree of the Congregation for Catholic Education from the Holy See, expanding the opportunities and teaching the college could offer to seminarians, priestly candidates.
Before the closure of the college it was stated that the Society of Jesus, the college governors and the Archbishop of Westminster would look for ways for these ecclesiastical faculties to continue.
The institute offered degree programmes in Theology and Philosophy, intended for those preparing for ordination to the Catholic priesthood, those already engaged in church ministry and other scholars.
The College hosted a number of free public lectures, research seminars and study days throughout the year on a variety of philosophical & theological topics.
The series was named after William Loschert, Chairman of the Trustees of the London Centre of Fordham University, who donated the funding for the lectures.
The team was headed by the sabbatical President and the sabbatical Vice-President, students who had either completed their studies or had taken a year out in order to fill this full-time position and help provide and foster the close-knit society that existed at Heythop College.
Heythrop had its own on-site hall of residence but, due to the college's relatively small size in comparison to other constituent colleges of London University, the Alban Hall was also relatively small housing only ninety-six students.
Housing was also available through the University of London Intercollegiate Halls, and the University of London housing service and most first year students chose to remain in or around Heythrop's Kensington Campus.
In ancient Roman religion, the Quinquatria or Quinquatrus was a festival sacred to the Goddess Minerva, celebrated from the 19-23 of March.
Both Varro and Festus state that the Quinquatrus was celebrated for only one day, but Ovid says that it was celebrated for five days, hence the name: on the first day no blood was shed, but that on the last four there were contests of gladiators.
The first day was the festival proper, and that the following four were an expansion made perhaps in the time of Caesar to gratify the people.
Ovid says that this festival was celebrated in commemoration of the birthday of Minerva; but according to Festus it was sacred to Minerva because her temple on the Aventine was consecrated on that day.
On the fifth day of the festival, according to Ovid, the trumpets used in sacred rites were purified; but this seems to have been originally a separate festival called Tubilustrium, which ancient calendars place on 23 March.
When the celebration of Quinquatrus was extended to five days, the Tubilustrium would have fallen on the last day of that festival.
As this festival was sacred to Minerva, it seems that women were accustomed to consult fortune-tellers and diviners upon this day.
At the Quinquatria in 59, Nero invited his mother, Agrippina the Younger, to his villa near Baiae, in an attempt to assassinate her.
His old tutor, Anicetus, whom he had raised to be captain of the fleet of Misenum, had undertaken to construct a vessel which could be sunk, without exciting suspicion.
After the banquet, when night had fallen, she was induced to return to Bauli in the vessel which had been prepared for her destruction.
But the mechanism did not work as planned, and Agrippina succeeded in swimming to shore, from which she proceeded to her villa on the Lucrine lake.
Normal for Norfolk (or NFN) is a slang term used in some parts of England for something that is peculiar, or odd.
It is also the title of a series of comic shows by the comedians The Nimmo Twins who satirise the idiosyncrasies of the Norwich and Norfolk population.
Utilised by doctors and Social Services in Norfolk and elsewhere to depict patients of lesser intellect, some were moved to record the letters 'NFN' against the personal details of certain clients, where they were considered to be a bit strange or had peculiar habits.
According to the urban myth, such clients were so common in that area that they were considered normal as far as Norfolk was concerned.
The term is considered derogatory because it portrays people from Norfolk as normally being strange, or peculiar with an inference that they are in-bred.
In geology, a rift is a linear zone where the lithosphere is being pulled apart and is an example of extensional tectonics.
Typical rift features are a central linear downfaulted depression, called a graben, or more commonly a half-graben with normal faulting and rift-flank uplifts mainly on one side.
Where rifts remain above sea level they form a rift valley, which may be filled by water forming a rift lake.
The axis of the rift area may contain volcanic rocks, and active volcanism is a part of many, but not all active rift systems.
Major rifts occur along the central axis of most mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust and lithosphere is created along a divergent boundary between two tectonic plates.
Areas of thick colder lithosphere, such as the Baikal Rift have segment lengths in excess of 80 km, while in areas of warmer thin lithosphere, segment lengths may be less than 30 km.
Along the axis of the rift the position, and in some cases the polarity (the dip direction), of the main rift bounding fault changes from segment to segment.
Accommodation zones take various forms, from a simple relay ramp at the overlap between two major faults of the same polarity, to zones of high structural complexity, particularly where the segments have opposite polarity.
In the Gulf of Suez rift, the Zaafarana accommodation zone is located where a shear zone in the Arabian-Nubian Shield meets the rift.
Contrary to what was previously thought, elevated passive continental margins (EPCM) such as the Brazilian Highlands, the Scandinavian Mountains and India's Western Ghats, are not rift shoulders.
At the onset of rifting, the upper part of the lithosphere starts to extend on a series of initially unconnected normal faults, leading to the development of isolated basins.
As the rift evolves, some of the individual fault segments grow, eventually becoming linked together to form the larger bounding faults.
During the climax of lithospheric rifting, as the crust is thinned, the Earth's surface subsides and the Moho becomes correspondingly raised.
This brings high heat flow from the upwelling asthenosphere into the thinning lithosphere, heating the orogenic lithosphere for dehydration melting, typically causing extreme metamorphism at high thermal gradients of greater than 30 °C.
The metamorphic products are high to ultrahigh temperature granulites and their associated migmatite and granites in collisional orogens, with possible emplacement of metamorphic core complexes in continental rift zones but oceanic core complexes in spreading ridges.
The amount of subsidence is directly related to the amount of thinning during the rifting phase calculated as the beta factor (initial crustal thickness divided by final crustal thickness), but is also affected by the degree to which the rift basin is filled at each stage, due to the greater density of sediments in contrast to water.
The simple 'McKenzie model' of rifting, which considers the rifting stage to be instantaneous, provides a good first order estimate of the amount of crustal thinning from observations of the amount of post-rift subsidence.
This has generally been replaced by the 'flexural cantilever model', which takes into account the geometry of the rift faults and the flexural isostasy of the upper part of the crust.
The North Sea rift shows evidence of several separate rift phases from the Permian through to the Earliest Cretaceous, a period of over 100 million years.
Continental rifts are the sites of significant oil and gas accumulations, such as the Viking Graben and the Gulf of Suez Rift.
Source rocks are often developed within the sediments filling the active rift (syn-rift), forming either in a lacustrine environment or in a restricted marine environment, although not all rifts contain such sequences.
Just over half of estimated oil reserves are found associated with rifts containing marine syn-rift and post-rift sequences, just under a quarter in rifts with a non-marine syn-rift and post-rift, and an eighth in non-marine syn-rift with a marine post-rift.
Macbeth (or The Tragedy of Macbeth) is a 1971 British-American historical period drama film directed by Roman Polanski and co-written by Polanski and Kenneth Tynan.
A film adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy of the same name, it tells the story of the Highland lord who becomes King of Scotland through treachery and murder.
The film stars Jon Finch as the title character and Francesca Annis as Lady Macbeth, noted for their relative youth as actors.
Themes of historic recurrence, greater pessimism and internal ugliness in physically beautiful characters are added to Shakespeare's story of moral decline, which is presented in a more realistic style.
The film was controversial for its depictions of graphic violence and nudity, but has received generally positive reviews since its release, and was named Best Film by the National Board of Review.
Macbeth and Banquo do not hear of this news; when out riding, they happen upon Three Witches, who hail Macbeth as Thane of Cawdor and future King, and Banquo as lesser and greater.
At their camp, nobles arrive and inform Macbeth he has been named the Thane of Cawdor, with Macbeth simultaneously awed and frightened at the prospect of usurping Duncan, in further fulfilment of the prophecy.
Duncan names his eldest son, Malcolm, Prince of Cumberland, and thus heir apparent, to the displeasure of Macbeth and Malcolm's brother Donalbain.
The royal family and nobles then spend the night at Macbeth's castle, with Lady Macbeth greeting the King and dancing with him with duplicity.
Fearing a conspiracy, Malcolm and Donalbain flee to England and Ireland, and the Thane of Ross realises Macbeth will be king.
When Macbeth begins to fear possible usurpation by Banquo and his son Fleance, he sends two murderers to kill them, and then sends Ross as the mysterious Third Murderer.
After Macduff flees to England, Ross leaves Fife's castle doors open, so Macbeth's murderers can kill Lady Macduff and the rest of the family and servants.
Disappointed, Ross joins Malcolm and Macduff in England, where the English King has committed forces led by Siward to overthrowing Macbeth and installing Malcolm on the Scottish throne.
The English forces invade, covering themselves by cutting down branches from Birnam Wood and holding them in front of their army to hide their numbers as they march on Macbeth in Dunsinane.
When the forces storm the castle, Macduff confronts Macbeth, and during the sword fight, Macduff reveals he was delivered by Caesarean section.
Director Roman Polanski had been interested in adapting a Shakespeare play since he was a student in Kraków, Poland, but he did not begin until after the murder of his pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, and several of his friends by members of the Manson Family at his house in Beverly Hills on the night of 9 August 1969.
Following the murders, Polanski sank into deep depression, and was unhappy with the way the incident was depicted in the media, in which his films seemed to be blamed.
During the writing process, Polanski and Tynan acted out their scenes in a Belgravia, London apartment, with Tynan as Duncan and Polanski as Macbeth.
Likewise, consultations of academic research of the Middle Ages led to the depiction of the nobles, staying at Macbeth's castle, going to bed on hay and the ground, with animals present.
The added importance the film gives to Ross did not appear in the first draft of the screenplay, which instead invented a new character called the Bodyguard, who also serves as the Third Murderer.
At one stage Richard Burton said he would do the film alongside his then-wife Elizabeth Taylor, but this never came to pass.
Francesca Annis and Jon Finch were 26 and 29, respectively, with Tynan remarking characters over 60 were too old to be ambitious.
Annis accepted the role after some reluctance, as she agreed the character should be older, but was easy to persuade to join the cast.
Polanski's first choice for Macbeth was Albert Finney, who rejected the role, after which Tynan recommended Nicol Williamson, but Polanski felt he was not attractive enough.
A considerable amount of shooting took place in Northumberland on the northeast coast of England, including Lindisfarne Castle, Bamburgh Castle and beach, St. Aidan's Church and North Charlton Moors near Alnwick.
Polanski personally handled and demonstrated the props and rode horses before shooting, and walked into animal feces to film goats and sheep.
While the score has some Middle Ages influence, this is not found in the scenes where Duncan is assassinated and Macbeth is killed.
Each coronation occurs after the predecessor is violently dispatched, and guests and hosts always betray each other, with Polanski adding Ross leaving Fife's castle doors open.
Professor Deanne Williams read the film as not only Polanski's reflections on the murder of Sharon Tate, but on wider issues such as the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and the Vietnam War.
In one scene, Macbeth's court hosts bear-baiting, a form of entertainment in the Middle Ages in which a bear and dogs are pitted against each other.
In the United Kingdom, the British Board of Film Censors nearly gave the film an X rating due to its nudity and violence.
After a restoration by Sony Pictures Entertainment, the film was placed in the Venice Classics section in the 2014 Venice Film Festival.
Since the division of the Mongol Empire, emperors of the Yuan dynasty held the title of Khagan and their successors in Mongolia continued to have the title.
Turkic and Para-Mongolic origin has been suggested by a number of scholars including Ramstedt, Shiratori, Sinor and Doerfer, and was reportedly first used by the Xianbei.
The title was first seen in a speech between 283 and 289, when the Xianbei chief Tuyuhun tried to escape from his younger stepbrother Murong Hui, and began his route from the Liaodong Peninsula to the areas of Ordos Desert.
The Rouran Khaganate (330–555) was the first people to use the titles Khagan and Khan for their emperors, replacing the Chanyu of the Xiongnu, whom Grousset and others assume to be Turkic.
The Avar Khaganate (567–804), who may have included Rouran elements after the Göktürks crushed the Rouran ruling Mongolia, also used this title.
Because Kublai founded the Yuan, the members of the other branches of the Borjigin could take part in the election of a new Khagan as the supporters of one or other of the contestants, but they could not enter the contest as candidates themselves.
Later Yuan emperors made peace with the three western khanates of the Mongol Empire and were considered as their nominal suzerain.
The nominal supremacy, while based on nothing like the same foundations as that of the earlier Khagans (such as the continued border clashes among them), did last for a few decades, until the Yuan dynasty fell in China (1368).
After the breakdown of Mongol Empire and the fall of the Yuan dynasty in the mid-14th century, the Mongols turned into a political turmoil.
Dayan Khan (1464–1517/1543) once revived Emperor's authority and recovered its reputation in Mongolia, but with the distribution of his empire among his sons and relatives as fiefs it again caused decentralized rule.
The last Khagan of the Chahars, Ligdan Khan, died in 1634 while fighting the Qing dynasty founded by the Manchu people.
The title became associated with the Ashina ruling clan of the Göktürks and their dynastic successors among such peoples as the Khazars (cf.
The Tang dynasty Chinese Emperors were recognized as Khagans of the Turks at least from 665 to 705; moreover, two appeal letters from the Turkic hybrid rulers, Ashina Qutluγ Ton Tardu in 727, the Yabgu of Tokharistan, and Yina Tudun Qule in 741, the king of Tashkent, addressing Emperor Xuanzong of Tang as Tian Kehan during the Umayyad expansion.
Enceladus was the traditional opponent of Athena during the Gigantomachy, the war between the Giants and the gods, and was said to be buried under Mount Etna in Sicily.
Enceladus was one of the Giants, who according to Hesiod, were the offspring of Gaia, born from the blood that fell when Uranus was castrated by their son Cronus.
A Giant named Enceladus, fighting Athena, is attested in art as early as an Attic black-figure pot dating from the second quarter of the sixth century BC (Louvre E732).
The third century BC poet Callimachus has Enceladus buried under the island of Sicily, and according to the mythographer Apollodorus, Athena hurled the island of Sicily at the fleeing Enceladus during the Gigantomachy.
The Latin poets Virgil, Statius and Claudian all locate his burial under Mount Etna, although other traditions had the monster Typhon or the Hundred-Hander Briareus buried under Etna.
Enceladus (like other vanquished monsters, thought to be buried under volcanos) was said to be the cause of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Mount Etna's eruptions were said to be the breath of Enceladus, and its tremors to be caused by him rolling over from side to side beneath the mountain.
Whene’er his rebellious shoulders shift their burden to the right or left, the island is shaken from its foundations and the walls of tottering cities sway this way and that.
The battle between Athena and Enceladus was a popular theme in Greek vase paintings, with examples from as early as the middle of the sixth century BC.
The east pediment of the Old Temple of Athena on the Acropolis of Athens, dating from the late sixth century, prominently displayed Athena standing over a fallen giant, possibly Enceladus.
According to an engraving of the fountain by Le Pautre (1677), the sculptor of the gilt-bronze Enceladus was Gaspar Mercy of Cambrai.
Its south pole is interspersed with massive geysers of ice and water vapor that shoot hundreds of miles from its interior.
The moon is considered by scientists to be one of the most likely locations in the Solar System to offer some habitability potential for microscopic life.
In Antarctica, there is a grouping of Nunataks on Alexander Island called the Enceladus Nunataks—but these nunataks were named after Saturn's moon, not after the giants of Greek mythology.
Play the white man is a phrase used in parts of Britain meaning to be decent and trustworthy in one's actions.
Three days after the election, however, the party splintered in a leadership brawl, and the Governor General, Ratu Sir George Cakobau, called on the defeated Ratu Mara to form an interim government pending fresh elections.
It therefore became the duty of the Governor-General under the Constitution to appoint as Prime Minister the Member of the House of Representatives who appeared to him best able to command the support of the majority of the Members of the House.
The Governor-General has not been able to act sooner as it was not until this afternoon that he was informed who had been elected leader of the National Federation Party.
The Governor-General, after taking all relevant circumstances into account, has come to the firm conclusion that the person best able to command support of the majority of the Members is the Leader of the Alliance Party, Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara.
Some have alleged that the Governor-General used the splintering of the National Federation Party as a pretext to keep his fellow-chief (and distant cousin), Ratu Mara, in power.
Others, however, believe that the Governor-General did what he had to do, as the National Federation Party was incapable of forming a coherent government.
This was the view articulated by Jai Ram Reddy, the leader of one of the dueling factions of the NFP, in a radio broadcast during the crisis.
Some have charged that Reddy colluded in the Governor-General's actions in keeping his own party out of power, so that he could depose Sidiq Koya, the longtime leader of the party.
Whatever the truth of the myriad allegations about the parties involved, Ratu Mara remained in office in an interim capacity despite his electoral defeat, and a fresh election was held to resolve the impasse in September.
It is particularly used to denigrate white people living in such circumstances and can be considered to fall within the category of racial/ethnic slurs.
In the mid-20th century, poor whites who could not afford to buy suburban-style tract housing began to purchase mobile homes, which were not only cheaper, but which could be easily relocated if work in one location ran out.
Despite many of them having jobs, albeit sometimes itinerant ones, the character flaws that had been perceived in poor white trash in the past were transferred to trailer trash, and trailer camps or parks were seen as being inhabited by retired persons, migrant workers, and, generally, the poor.
By 1968, a survey found that only 13% of those who owned and lived in mobile homes had white collar jobs.
Trailers got their start in the 1930s, and their use proliferated during the housing shortage of World War II, when the Federal government used as many as 30,000 of them to house defense workers, soldiers and sailors throughout the country, but especially around areas with a large military or defense presence, such as Mobile, Alabama and Pascagoula, Mississippi.
The trailers themselves – sometimes purchased second- or third-hand – were often unsightly, unsanitary and dilapidated, causing communities to zone them away from the more desirable areas, which meant away from schools, stores, and other necessary facilities, often literally on the other side of the railroad tracks.
The Royal Veterinary College (informally the RVC) is a veterinary school located in London and a constituent college of the federal University of London.
It is the oldest and largest Veterinary school in the United Kingdom, and one of only eight in the country where students can study to become a vet.
The Veterinary College of London was founded in 1791 by a group led by Granville Penn, a grandson of William Penn, following the foundation of the first veterinary college in Europe in Lyon, France in 1762.
The promoters wished to select a site close to the metropolis, but far enough away to minimise the temptations open to the students.
Earl Camden was just then making arrangements to develop some fields he owned to the north of London, and he replied to the College's newspaper advertisement for a suitable site with an offer to sell it some of his land.
The site was rural, but urban developments appeared on all sides in the early decades of the 19th century, creating Camden Town.
The first students, just four of them, began their studies in 1792, and the first horse was admitted for treatment in 1793.
St Bel died later that year and was succeeded by Edward Coleman, who managed the college for nearly forty six years and established its reputation.
The original building was a quadrangle in a neoclassical style, and there was a paddock on the opposite side of Royal College Street, but this was later sold for housing development.
In 1865 RVC Professor James Beart Simonds was appointed as the first Chief Inspector and Veterinary Advisor to the Privy council, with particular regard to cattle plague.
In 1875 college was granted a Royal Charter as the Royal Veterinary College; it remains the only veterinary college in the UK to have its own Royal Charter.
Some veterinary surgeons were concerned that the college was threatening their livelihoods, but the college argued that poor people could not afford veterinary fees, therefore their animals would go untreated if the Clinic were closed.
There was a major renovation in 1907 of the college horse boxes, which had fund-raisers' commemorative shields hung at their doorways.
During the Second World War, the RVC evacuated to Streatley, Berkshire, although the Beaumont Animals' Hospital remained open at Camden Town.
In the 1980s the Royal Veterinary College Animal Care Trust was launched with the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother as patron, and the Queen Mother Hospital for Animals was opened at Hawkshead by the Queen Mother.
Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, and Chancellor of the University of London, opened the surgical wing of the Sefton Equine Referral Hospital.
The skeleton of the famous racehorse Eclipse, dissected in 1789 by St. Bel was once more the property of the RVC and was placed on display in the Museum at Hawkshead.
In 2005 the Duchess of Cornwall visited the Hawkshead Campus as new Patron of the Royal Veterinary College Animal Care Trust.
The Camden campus is also home to the main bulk of the RVC Student Union (RVCSU), including the main college bar, the Haxby.
The Hawkshead Campus is located in Brookmans Park, rural Hertfordshire, about north of central London, was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1959.
The majority of the college sports teams train and play on the sports courts and fields at this campus, which is also home to the Queen Mother Hospital for Animals, Bolton's Park Farm and the Buttery (a second union-run bar).
The college provides a number of undergraduate courses, including the Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine (BVetMed) as well as accelerated graduate entry BVetMed and a combined BVetMed, Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BSc) degree.
BSc degrees are also provided in veterinary nursing, bioveterinary sciences, biological sciences and veterinary pathology, and a foundation degree in veterinary nursing is also offered.
The college also offers the Gateway course; the first year of an extended six-year veterinary degree programme, created for students who are part of the UK Widening Participation cohort.
This is a widening participation programme for UK non-selective state school students whose parents have not been to university and who receive, or would be eligible for, an Education Maintenance Allowance payment.
There is a distance learning department and the Graduate School provides masters courses, PhD studentships and clinical training scholarships in a wide range of disciplines.
The traditional sports of rowing, rugby, netball, hockey, and football are offered for both men and women; more unusually, students take part in sports such as shooting, ice-skating, and polo.
For purpose of sports, the RVC is a part of the United Hospitals, and the sports clubs compete (and sometimes socialise) with the London medical schools (such as Barts, ICSM, and RUMS).
There are also a number of academically-inclined clubs, such as the Farm Animal Clinical Club, the Student Equine Veterinary Association, and the Zoological Society.
In the past, these have included a May Ball, Christmas Ball and Sports Ball, as well as a Halfway Dinner (which takes place in the second term of third year for students on the BVetMed course), Burns Night, an elaborate Freshers' Week and Raising and Giving (RAG) Fortnight.
The union itself is steadily growing and includes representatives of the Association of Veterinary Students and IVSA; based out of Hawkshead House on the Hawkshead Campus, it provides social and academic opportunities for students of all cohorts and courses.
Since 2018, a 'varsity' weekend has also taken place between the RVC and the veterinary school at the University of Surrey; the inaugural event was hosted at Surrey but won by the RVC.
Students on the BVetMed course are invited to attend events organised by the Association of Veterinary Students (AVS) such as Sports Weekend (where the schools compete against each other in unisex football, rugby, netball, and other games) and the annual academic Congress.
These allow veterinary students from the UK veterinary schools and the University College Dublin veterinary faculty to convene once or twice a year to socialise, network and compete.
RVC students are also invited to participate in societies run by other universities in London; the University of London Union offers a selection of sports and societies, as does the Imperial College School of Medicine Student's Union, and students tend to take advantage of these opportunities as well as being involved in RVC societies.
The Research Assessment Exercise in 2008 ranked the RVC as England's best veterinary school of those institutions whose research is exclusively veterinary related.
It is a self-governing college within the University of London and its scientists work together in interdisciplinary teams within one research division.
The disciplines of Epidemiology, Microbiology, Pathology, Immunology and Clinical Science are drawn together in the Centre for Emerging, Endemic and Exotic Diseases (CEEED Centre), opened in 2008.
Animal Welfare and the Animal Welfare unit situated at the college are fundamental to the RVC's research mission and underpins their research programmes.
Understanding how animals and people move is fundamental to musculoskeletal health and diseases that result from ageing, physical activity and the environment.
The leaders of this Centre of Excellence are at the forefront of developing technologies to study animal movement, which are used in both basic and applied research.
The RVC has a Clinical Investigation Centre, co-ordinating disciplined study of its clinical caseload through its electronic patient record system and undertaking Phase II Clinical Trials under a Home Office license.
They aim to translate research into solutions for veterinary and human medicine and use their expertise and veterinary patient caseload to undertake comparative research of both biomedical and veterinary significance.
For small animals, the RVC runs the Beaumont Sainsbury Animal Hospital, a first-opinion hospital based at the RVC's Camden campus, and the Queen Mother Hospital for Animals, an animal referral hospital which provides clinical services in a wide range of specialities.
The equine services include the Equine Practice which is a first opinion ambulatory service, serving Hertfordshire and other local areas and the Equine Referral Hospital which provides referral clinical services to equine practices and horse owners throughout the south of England.
The RVC operates a referral farm animal hospital at its Hawkshead Campus, which provides full hospitalisation, diagnostic and surgical facilities for individual farm animals.
The college has a collaboration with the Dairy Development centre, the Welsh Regional Veterinary Centre (WRVC), which provides a farm health investigation service to vets and farmers in the South Wales region.
Fokino () is a closed town in Primorsky Krai, Russia, located on the coast of the Peter the Great Gulf, on the Abrek Bay, about south of Vladivostok, the administrative center of the krai.
However, due to its status as a base for the Russian Pacific Fleet, the town was closed, and referred to officially under the code name Shkotovo-17.
After the APEC-2012 Summit was held in Vladivostok, Fokino will become the main naval base at the Russian Far East, where the Russian Pacific Fleet will be attached.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with two urban-type settlements (Dunay and Putyatin), incorporated as Fokino Town Under Krai Jurisdiction—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.
However, the Islands of Putyatin and Askold, which are a part of the territory administered by the town, are open for visits by tourists.
It is rarely visited by tourists because of the absence of regular transport connections with the mainland, and the status of the island which until 1995 had formed part of the Reserve where no economic activity was allowed.
Furthermore, the FTG owns the Ferdinand-Tönnies-Haus (a student residence) in Kiel and organizes as well public lectures on academic and political topics for the public.
He served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Tipperary North constituency from 1969 to 1973, 1977 to 1981 and 1987 to 2002.
He also served as a Senator for the Cultural and Educational Panel from 1983 to 1987 and for the Agricultural Panel from May 1982 to December 1982.
Smith worked as a farmer before entering Dáil Éireann at the 1969 general election as a Fianna Fáil TD for the Tipperary North constituency.
Smith lost his Dáil seat again at the February 1982 general election, and failed to regain it at the November 1982 general election.
He spent the next five years as a Senator in Seanad Éireann, elected first by the Agricultural Panel and then by the Cultural and Educational Panel, before his re-election to the Dáil at the 1987 general election.
His stay as Minister was short because following the 1989 general election he was demoted to Minister of State for Science and Technology.
He replaced David Andrews as Minister for Defence in October 1997, and held that position until he was dropped from the Cabinet in a reshuffle in 2004.
During his tenure Smith dealt with the Army deafness compensation issue that ultimately resulted in claims of €300 million against the State.
The satellite was the second in the UoSAT series of satellites built by University of Surrey; preceded by UoSAT-1 and followed by UoSAT-3.
The satellite carries a Digitalker speech synthesiser, magnetometers, a CCD camera, a Geiger-Müller tube, and a microphone to detect the vibrations of micrometeoroid impacts.
Like UoSAT-1 it transmits telemetry data on the VHF beacon at 1200 baud, using asynchronous AFSK, though now all analogue telemetry channels have failed; on an FM receiver the audio signal resembles the cassette data format of the contemporary BBC Micro computer.
UoSAT-2's solar arrays were bought at a premium compared to those of UoSAT-1, the design having been space tested by its predecessor.
The British affiliate of AMSAT distributed a library of software for the BBC Micro to track UoSAT-2 and other satellites and analyse telemetry broadcasts.
According to a February 2008 status report the satellite had no viable battery backup, operating only from its solar panels, and a watchdog timer on board was suspending activity for up to three weeks following any power anomaly.
After a 21-month gap in observations, UoSAT-2 resumed sending telemetry sometime before 10 December 2009, and is apparently continuing the watchdog-controlled transmission regime, though now on a ten-days-on, ten-days-off schedule.
The position of the skiers' emergency beacon was calculated daily by Cospas-Sarsat ground stations and relayed to them, and thousands of amateur radio listeners, as a spoken message from the Digitalker on board UoSAT-2.
The message could also serve as an emergency channel to the skiers in the event that all other radio links failed.
Emulating the N64 (which was only 3 years old at the time) made it the first of the N64 emulators to run commercial titles at a playable frame rate on the hardware of the time.
Earlier emulators had sought to accurately emulate all low-level operations of a target machine; this worked well for consoles such as the Super NES and Genesis that were substantially simpler than the computer running the emulator.
Co-authors Epsilon and RealityMan realized that since N64 games were programmed in C, they could intercept (the far fewer) C library calls rather than machine-level operations, and simply reimplement the libraries.
However it paved the way for playable emulators of recent consoles that require considerable graphical computational power which could be simulated easily with available PC graphic cards.
UltraHLE's high-level emulation had its drawbacks; at the time of its release it was able to emulate only approximately 20 games to a playable standard as it emulated and simulated only those calls required by those specific games; it was necessary to adapt the emulator for games that used different parts of the N64 hardware.
Also notable for its time, UltraHLE was capable of playing commercial games while the console was still commercially viable, a feat which was ultimately noticed by Nintendo.
In February 1999, Nintendo began the process of filing a lawsuit against the emulator's authors, along with the website hosting the emulator.
After the source code was leaked in 2002, an OpenGL version of UltraHLE called UltraHLE 2064 was released, though it garnered little acclaim, as several more powerful emulators had subsequently been released.
As of 2017, global solar hot water thermal capacity is 472 GW and the market is dominated by China, the United States and Turkey.
In 1896 Clarence Kemp of Baltimore enclosed a tank in a wooden box, thus creating the first 'batch water heater' as they are known today.
Frank Shuman built the world's first solar thermal power station in Maadi, Egypt, using parabolic troughs to power a engine that pumped of water per minute from the Nile River to adjacent cotton fields.
Solar power is in use in Australia, Canada, China, Germany, India, Israel, Japan, Portugal, Romania, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Levi Yissar built the first prototype Israeli solar water heater and in 1953 he launched the NerYah Company, Israel's first commercial manufacturer of solar water heating.
Following the energy crisis in the 1970s, in 1980 Israel required the installation of solar water heaters in all new homes (except high towers with insufficient roof area).
In 2005, Spain became the world's first country to require the installation of photovoltaic electricity generation in new buildings, and the second (after Israel) to require the installation of solar water heating systems, in 2006.
Solar water heating systems are popular in China, where basic models start at around 1,500 yuan (US$235), around 80% less than in Western countries for a given collector size.
The popularity is due to efficient evacuated tubes that allow the heaters to function even under gray skies and at temperatures well below freezing.
The minimum requirements of the system are typically determined by the amount or temperature of hot water required during winter, when a system's output and incoming water temperature are typically at their lowest.
The maximum output of the system is determined by the need to prevent the water in the system from becoming too hot.
This approach is common in climates where freezing temperatures do not occur often, but can be less reliable than an automatic system as it relies on an operator.
A third type of freeze protection is freeze-tolerance, where low pressure water pipes made of silicone rubber simply expand on freezing.
When no hot water has been used for a day or two, the fluid in the collectors and storage can reach high temperatures in all non-drainback systems.
When the storage tank in a drainback system reaches its desired temperature, the pumps stop, ending the heating process and thus preventing the storage tank from overheating.
Some active systems deliberately cool the water in the storage tank by circulating hot water through the collector at times when there is little sunlight or at night, losing heat.
This is most effective in direct or thermal store plumbing and is virtually ineffective in systems that use evacuated tube collectors, due to their superior insulation.
Simple designs include a simple glass-topped insulated box with a flat solar absorber made of sheet metal, attached to copper heat exchanger pipes and dark-colored, or a set of metal tubes surrounded by an evacuated (near vacuum) glass cylinder.
The volume of this tank needs to be larger with solar heating systems to compensate for bad weather and because the optimum final temperature for the solar collector is lower than a typical immersion or combustion heater.
The heat transfer fluid (HTF) for the absorber may be water, but more commonly (at least in active systems) is a separate loop of fluid containing anti-freeze and a corrosion inhibitor delivers heat to the tank through a heat exchanger (commonly a coil of copper heat exchanger tubing within the tank).
Copper is an important component in solar thermal heating and cooling systems because of its high heat conductivity, atmospheric and water corrosion resistance, sealing and joining by soldering and mechanical strength.
Both typically include an auxiliary energy source (electric heating element or connection to a gas or fuel oil central heating system) that is activated when the water in the tank falls below a minimum temperature setting, ensuring that hot water is always available.
The combination of solar water heating and back-up heat from a wood stove chimney can enable a hot water system to work all year round in cooler climates, without the supplemental heat requirement of a solar water heating system being met with fossil fuels or electricity.
When a solar water heating and hot-water central heating system are used together, solar heat will either be concentrated in a pre-heating tank that feeds into the tank heated by the central heating, or the solar heat exchanger will replace the lower heating element and the upper element will remain to provide for supplemental heat.
Therefore, solar water heating for washing and bathing is often a better application than central heating because supply and demand are better matched.
In many northern European countries, combined hot water and space heating systems (solar combisystems) are used to provide 15 to 25% of home heating energy.
After heating in the panels, the HTF travels to the heat exchanger, where its heat is transferred to the potable water.
Active systems have controllers with features such as interaction with a backup electric or gas-driven water heater, calculation and logging of the energy saved, safety functions, remote access and informative displays.
They are simple and less costly than plate and tube collectors, but they may require bracing if installed on a roof (to support  lbs of water), suffer from significant heat loss at night since the side facing the sun is largely uninsulated and are only suitable in moderate climates.
The main benefit of CHS systems over ICS systems is that heat loss is largely avoided since the storage tank can be fully insulated.
Since the panels are located below the storage tank, heat loss does not cause convection, as the cold water stays at the lowest part of the system.
The HTF remains in the drainback reseervoir unless the pump is operating and returns there (emptying the collector) when the pump is switched off.
The pump operates only when appropriate for heat collection, but not to protect the HTF, increasing efficiency and reducing pumping costs.
Flat plate collectors are an extension of the idea to place a collector in an 'oven'-like box with glass directly facing the Sun.
Most flat plate collectors have two horizontal pipes at the top and bottom, called headers, and many smaller vertical pipes connecting them, called risers.
Heat-transfer fluid (water or water/antifreeze mix) is pumped from the hot water storage tank or heat exchanger into the collectors' bottom header, and it travels up the risers, collecting heat from the absorber fins, and then exits the collector out of the top header.
Such glass can withstand significant hail without breaking, which is one of the reasons that flat-plate collectors are considered the most durable collector type.
Unglazed or formed collectors are similar to flat-plate collectors, except they are not thermally insulated nor physically protected by a glass panel.
For pool heating applications, the water to be heated is often colder than the ambient roof temperature, at which point the lack of thermal insulation allows additional heat to be drawn from the surrounding environment.
Since heat loss due to convection cannot cross a vacuum, it forms an efficient isolation mechanism to keep heat inside the collector pipes.
Since two flat glass sheets are generally not strong enough to withstand a vacuum, the vacuum is created between two concentric tubes.
Typically, the water piping in an ETC is therefore surrounded by two concentric tubes of glass separated by a vacuum that admits heat from the sun (to heat the pipe) but that limits heat loss.
Although a PV-powered pump does not operate at night, the controller must ensure that the pump does not operate when the sun is out but the collector water is not hot enough.
In a bubble pump system, the closed HTF circuit is under reduced pressure, which causes the liquid to boil at low temperature as the sun heats it.
The bubbles are separated from the hot fluid and condensed at the highest point in the circuit, after which the fluid flows downward toward the heat exchanger caused by the difference in fluid levels.
The controller starts the pump when the water in the collector is sufficiently about 8–10 °C warmer than the water in the tank, and stops it when the temperature difference reaches 3–5 °C.
This ensures that stored water always gains heat when the pump operates and prevents the pump from excessive cycling on and off.
This setup would be inefficient due to the equilibrium effect: as soon as heating of the tank and water begins, the heat gained is lost to the environment and this continues until the water in the tank reaches ambient temperature.
This is achieved by encasing the tank in a glass-topped box that allows heat from the sun to reach the water tank.
In a simple way one could consider an ICS solar water heater as a water tank that has been enclosed in a type of 'oven' that retains heat from the sun as well as heat of the water in the tank.
Since the amount of heat that a tank can absorb from the sun is largely dependent on the surface of the tank directly exposed to the sun, it follows that the surface size defines the degree to which the water can be heated by the sun.
Variations on this basic design include collectors that combine smaller water containers and evacuated glass tube technology, a type of ICS system known as an Evacuated Tube Batch (ETB) collector.
ETCs can be used for heating and cooling purposes in industries like pharmaceutical and drug, paper, leather and textile and also for residential houses, hospitals, nursing home, hotels, swimming pool etc.
An ETC can operate at a range of temperatures from medium to high for solar hot water, swimming pool, air conditioning and solar cooker.
ETCs higher operational temperature range (up to ) makes them suitable for industrial applications such as steam generation, heat engine and solar drying.
In cold or windy environments evacuated tubes or flat plates in an indirect configuration are used in conjunction with a heat exchanger.
A fairly simple differential temperature controller is used to direct the water to the panels or heat exchanger either by turning a valve or operating the pump.
Once the pool water has reached the required temperature, a diverter valve is used to return water directly to the pool without heating.
Many systems are configured as drainback systems where the water drains into the pool when the water pump is switched off.
Due to the low temperature difference between the air and the water, the panels are often formed collectors or unglazed flat plate collectors.
Adding solar collectors to a conventional outdoor pool, in a cold climate, can typically extend the pool's comfortable usage by months and more if an insulating pool cover is used.
When sized at 100% coverage most solar hot water systems are capable of heating a pool anywhere from as little as 4 °C for a wind-exposed pool, to as much as 10 °C for a wind-sheltered pool covered consistently with a solar pool blanket.
An active solar energy system analysis program may be used to optimize the solar pool heating system before it is built.
The amount of heat delivered by a solar water heating system depends primarily on the amount of heat delivered by the sun at a particular place (insolation).
Even at the same latitude average insolation can vary a great deal from location to location due to differences in local weather patterns and the amount of overcast.
Below is a table that gives a rough indication of the specifications and energy that could be expected from a solar water heating system involving some 2 m of absorber area of the collector, demonstrating two evacuated tube and three flat plate solar water heating systems.
The figures are fairly similar between the above collectors, yielding some 4 kWh/day in a temperate climate and some 8 kWh/day in a tropical climate when using a collector with a 2 m absorber.
The efficiency of evacuated tube collectors is somewhat lower than for flat plate collectors because the absorbers are narrower than the tubes and the tubes have space between them, resulting in a significantly larger percentage of inactive overall collector area.
Some methods of comparison calculate the efficiency of evacuated tube collectors based on the actual absorber area and not on the space occupied as has been done in the above table.
In sunny, warm locations, where freeze protection is not necessary, an ICS (batch type) solar water heater can be cost effective.
Payback times can vary greatly due to regional sun, extra cost due to frost protection needs of collectors, household hot water use etc.
For instance in central and southern Florida the payback period could easily be 7 years or less rather than the 12.6 years indicated on the chart for the U.S.
The source of electricity in an active SWH system determines the extent to which a system contributes to atmospheric carbon during operation.
In most systems the pumping reduces the energy savings by about 8% and the carbon savings of the solar by about 20%.
Assuming a solar collector panel delivering 4 kWh/day and a pump running intermittently from mains electricity for a total of 6 hours during a 12-hour sunny day, the potentially negative effect of such a pump can be reduced to about 3% of the heat produced.
However, PV-powered active solar thermal systems typically use a 5–30 W PV panel and a small, low power diaphragm pump or centrifugal pump to circulate the water.
LCA considers the financial and environmental costs of acquisition of raw materials, manufacturing, transport, using, servicing and disposal of the equipment.
In terms of energy consumption, some 60% goes into the tank, with 30% towards the collector (thermosiphon flat plate in this case).
In Italy, some 11 giga-joules of electricity are used in producing SWH equipment, with about 35% goes toward the tank, with another 35% towards the collector.
This figure was for a direct system, retrofitted to an existing water store, PV pumped, freeze tolerant and of 2.8 sqm aperture.
In terms of CO emissions, a large fraction of the emissions saved is dependent on the degree to which gas or electricity is used to supplement the sun.
the yearly environmental load of an average European inhabitant) in Greece, a purely gas-driven system may have fewer emissions than a solar system.
But because methane (CH) emissions from the natural gas fuel cycle dwarf the greenhouse impact of CO, the net greenhouse emissions (COe) from gas-driven systems are vastly greater than for solar heaters, especially if supplemental electricity is also from carbon-free generation.
The tested SWH system had about 20% of the impact of an electrical water heater and half that of a gas water heater.
Early general elections were held in Fiji between 17 and 24 September 1977, following the impasse of an earlier election that had been held in March.
The National Federation Party, the narrow winner of the election, had failed to form a government, owing to internal disputes, and the Governor-General, Ratu Sir George Cakobau, had called on the defeated Prime Minister, Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara, to form an interim government, pending fresh elections.
The new elections held in September resulted in a landslide win for Ratu Mara's Alliance Party (Fiji), which won an unprecedented 36 seats out of 52.
More than half of those who had voted for the Fijian Nationalist Party in March, mainly to lodge a protest vote against Ratu Mara's inclusive racial policies, returned to the Alliance in September.
A car alarm is an electronic device installed in a vehicle in an attempt to discourage theft of the vehicle itself, its contents, or both.
Car alarms work by emitting high-volume sound (often a vehicle-mounted siren, klaxon, pre-recorded verbal warning, the vehicle's own horn, or a combination of these) when the conditions necessary for triggering it are met.
Such alarms may also cause the vehicle's headlights to flash, may notify the car's owner of the incident via a paging system, and may interrupt one or more electrical circuits necessary for the car to start.
Although inexpensive to acquire and install, the effectiveness of such devices in deterring vehicle burglary or theft when their only effect is to emit sound appears to be negligible.
An early version of a car alarm for use as a theft deterrent was invented by an unknown prisoner from Denver in 1913.
Car alarms should not be confused with immobilizers; although the purpose of both may be to deter car theft, they operate in a dissimilar fashion.
An immobilizer generally will not offer any audible or visual theft deterrence, nor require any more input from the driver than from the driver of a non-immobilizer car.
Remote car alarms typically consist of an additional radio receiver that allows the owner to wirelessly control the alarm from a key fob.
On many vehicles the key cylinders in the driver or front passenger door activate switches, so that when a key is used in the door the alarm will arm or disarm.
Some vehicles will arm when the power door lock switch is pressed with the driver's door open, and the door is subsequently closed.
Some vehicles will disarm if the ignition is turned on; often when the vehicle is equipped with a key-based immobilizer and an alarm, the combination of the valid key code and the ignition disarms the system.
Usually they do not have provisions for external disarming from the key cylinder, but will typically have an override switch mounted in a hidden location.
The individual triggers for a car alarm vary widely, depending on the make and model of the vehicle, and the brand and model of the alarm itself (for aftermarket alarms).
Since aftermarket alarms are designed to be universal (i.e., compatible with all 12-volt negative ground electrical systems as opposed to one carmaker's vehicles), these commonly have trigger inputs that the installer/vehicle owner chooses not to connect, which additionally determines what will set the alarm off.
A few systems have a shock sensor which will trigger upon a significant impact to the vehicle's body, such as window glass being broken.
The most common type of sensor is a shock sensor and two wires (12-volt constant power and ground) which are connected to the car's battery.
This type of alarm is triggered by vibration transferred to the shock sensor, or by voltage changes on the input (the alarm assumes that a sudden change in voltage is due to a door or trunk being opened, or the ignition being turned on); however it is very prone to false triggers on late-model vehicles with many electronic control modules, which can draw current with the ignition off.
Typically, these alarms have inputs for power and ground, as well as for positive- and negative-switched door open circuits, negative trunk and/or hood circuits, and ignition-switched circuits to detect the ignition being turned on; aftermarket alarms also usually have a shock sensor which may be built into the control module or external to it.
A digital sensor is more accurate since it sets itself, allowing for the vehicle to be placed on a hill and not cause false triggers.
Proximity, infrared, or motion sensors sense motion inside or outside the vehicle; these are typically installed on convertible or T-top vehicles.
For example, a shock sensor will sometimes vibrate due to a loud noise in the area, or an accidental bump to the car from a passerby.
Proximity sensors can cause false alarms in parking lots when a passerby is entering or exiting a vehicle parked next to the armed car.
Although car alarms of some kind have been available since the beginning of the automobile era, the dramatic increase in their installation in the 1980s and 1990s coupled with the fact that nearly all car alarms are triggered accidentally (frequently because of high sensitivity settings) means that people who hear them often ignore them.
In 1994 the New York City Police Department claimed that car alarms may actually be making the crime problem worse, and there is one account in 1992 of a thief in New York City rocking a car to deliberately trigger its alarm in order to help conceal the sound of a breaking window.
Because of the large number of false alarms with car alarms, many vehicle manufacturers no longer factory-fit simple noise-making alarms, instead offering silent immobilizers.
Most police tracking systems require the user to pay a recurring fee, whereas factory immobilizers are included in the purchase price of the vehicle.
GPS locating systems enable the owner of the vehicle to lock and unlock, track, and disable the starter of the vehicle online.
Éamon Ó Cuív (; born 23 June 1950) is an Irish Fianna Fáil politician who has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Galway West constituency since the 1992 general election.
However, Ó Cuív ceased to be Deputy Leader of Fianna Fáil on 29 February 2012, because of his opposition to his party's stance on the European Fiscal Compact.
Ó Cuív is the son of Brian Ó Cuív, professor of Celtic Studies at University College Dublin, and Emer de Valera, who was the last surviving daughter of Fianna Fáil founder, Taoiseach and President of Ireland, Éamon de Valera, when she died at the age of 93 in February 2012.
He is a nephew of the former TD Vivion de Valera and is a first cousin of the former Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands Minister Síle de Valera, and of Judge Aindrias Ó Caoimh.
Before entering politics, he was the manager of Gaeltacht Co-operative, a company involved in agricultural services including timber milling, tourism and cultural development.
The letter 'v' is extremely rare in Irish outside modern loanwords, not being one of the 18 letters of the Irish alphabet.
Ó Cuív first stood for election to Dáil Éireann at the 1987 general election in the Galway West constituency, where he was the last-placed of the four Fianna Fáil candidates, only two of whom were elected.
He did better in the 1989 general election, substantially increasing his share of the first-preference votes, but was the only one of the three Fianna Fáil candidates not to be elected.
His vote had increased significantly and he was elected on the first count, coming a close second for Fianna Fáil behind the Labour Party's Michael D. Higgins.
At the 1997 general election, he was again elected in second place on the first count, this time being narrowly behind his Fianna Fáil colleague Frank Fahey.
In 1994, Ó Cuív raised concern amongst some in Fianna Fáil when he suggested the possibility of a prospective conditional return to the Commonwealth of Nations as a gesture to Unionists in Northern Ireland.
In 1997, (at the start of the 28th Dáil) he was appointed Minister of State at the Department of Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands, serving under his cousin Síle de Valera, who was the senior Minister at the Department.
Ó Cuív was at the centre of a controversy surrounding the official name of An Daingean / Dingle, a small Gaeltacht town in west County Kerry.
The residents of the town held a plebiscite in November 2006, to determine which version of the town name should be used.
Ó Cuív originally signalled that he was happy to abide by the locals' decision, but then said that the name could not legally be changed back to Dingle, following advice from the Attorney General of Ireland.
In 2007, Ó Cuív again called for Ireland to return to the Commonwealth as a full member state, in light of the restoration of devolution to Northern Ireland and the meeting of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association in Belfast.
After the resignation of Tony Killeen in January 2011, Ó Cuív was also appointed as Minister for Defence, and he was also appointed Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government after John Gormley's resignation days later.
On 22 January 2011, after the resignation of Fianna Fáil leader Brian Cowen, Ó Cuív stated that he wished to be a candidate in the resulting election for the leadership of Fianna Fáil.
Ó Cuiv was the Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Communications, Energy and Natural Resources after Fianna Fáil were ousted from power at the 2011 general election.
Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin stated that Ó Cuív would face expulsion from the parliamentary party if he did not vote with the party on the Fiscal Compact in the Dáil.
Coming just a week before their party conference, Ó Cuív's resignation caused a split down the middle of the Fianna Fáil party.
On 12 July 2012, Ó Cuív was reappointed to the Fianna Fáil front bench as Spokesperson on Agriculture and Food, and on Community Affairs.
On 8 November 2018, Ó Cuív was sacked from the Fianna Fáil front bench for unveiling a candidate in a Northern Ireland election without the party’s permission.
In 2018, he was one of 25 TDs to vote against the Thirty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution Bill, which proposed to replace the protection of the life of the unborn inserted by the Eighth Amendment with a provision allowing the termination of pregnancy to be regulated by law.
Ó Cuív was one of 15 TDs to vote against the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill, which became law at the end of 2018.
St George's, University of London (legally St George's Hospital Medical School, informally St George's or SGUL), is a medical school located in Tooting in South London and is a constituent college of the University of London.
St George's has its origins in 1733, and was the second institution in England to provide formal training courses for doctors (after the University of Oxford).
St George Hospital Medical School was originally established in 1733 as part of St George's Hospital at Hyde Park Corner (now the site of The Lanesborough hotel), in central London.
A joint faculty with Kingston University, the Faculty of Health and Social Care Sciences, has increased the variety of allied healthcare courses offered at St George's, including Nursing, Physiotherapy, Paramedic Science and Radiography.
St George's was the first institution in the United Kingdom to offer a four-year graduate entry Medicine degree based on the programme from Flinders University, with which it has an exchange programme.
Entry to the course is highly competitive with candidates being required to sit the GAMSAT as part of the application process.
In 2008, St George's announced that it planned to merge with Royal Holloway to form a single institution within the University of London.
St George's intends to keep working with Royal Holloway in the field of health and social care along with its well-established Joint Faculty with Kingston University.
St George's, Kingston University and Royal Holloway will continue to collaborate in the field of health and social care as part of the existing SWan (South West London Academic Network) healthcare alliance.
The St George's University of London campus is located in the Tooting area of south-west London, and is co-located with St George's Hospital, a 1,300 bed major trauma centre.
Teaching facilities at the campus include clinical skills laboratories and a simulation suite allowing students to practice based on real-life situations including surgical and medical emergencies.
Previously, the Rob Lowe Sports Centre located at the St George's Hospital grounds provided sporting facilities to students and staff, including a sports hall, three squash courts, and weights and fitness rooms.
St George's offers foundation and undergraduate degrees at its site in Tooting in medical, biomedical and healthcare sciences, including: Biomedical Science BSc (Hons), Biomedical Science Foundation Degree, Healthcare Practice DipHE and BSc (Hons), Healthcare Practice Foundation Degree, Healthcare Science (Physiological Sciences) BSc (Hons), Medicine (four-year graduate stream) MBBS4, Medicine (five-year) MBBS5, and Medicine (six-year) MBBS6, Physician Associate Studies MSc.
In partnership with Kingston University, the joint Faculty of Health and Social Care Sciences also offers degrees in physiotherapy, paramedic science, nursing, midwifery, social work and diagnostic or therapeutic radiography.
St George's, in partnership with INTO University Partners, has also formed a joint venture, INTO SGUL, to offer a Foundation in Medical, Biomedical and Health Sciences for international students whose qualifications do not allow direct progression into Bachelors level study in the UK, and a six-year MBBS and a four-year graduate stream MBBS programme specifically for international students, with clinical placements overseas.
Outside of the UK, the MBBS4 is also offered in Nicosia, Cyprus, through a partnership between St George's and the University of Nicosia.
St George's uses the integrated approach which involves the use of both Case Based Learning (CBL), Problem Based Learning (PBL) and a traditional style of learning with the use of lectures and tutorials.
The degree of PBL used in teaching varies between courses, for example, being a major part of the Medicine (Graduate Entry) course but not prominently within the Biomedical Sciences curriculum.
Anatomy is taught at St George's through prosections and practical within the dissecting room, with anatomical dissection being optional as part of the Summer Dissection Programme.
In the medical curriculum, preclinical teaching (first and second year in the undergraduate stream, and first year in the graduate stream) is largely based on lectures and tutorials held at the St George's campus, with a few weeks worth of attachments to various hospital departments.
The third year of the undergraduate stream and second year of the graduate stream, also known as Transitional (T) year, comprises three blocks of PBL with lectures and tutorials and three blocks of clinical placements in medicine, surgery and general practice.
Subsequent clinical years of either course are spent on clinical placements of various specialities, with teaching occurring as lecture weeks prior to each placement block, or teaching which occurs at hospital sites led by clinical staff.
Clinical placements for students on Medical degrees are mainly at St. George's Hospital, and at other sites such as Kingston Hospital, Croydon University Hospital, St Helier Hospital and Epsom General Hospital.
Other further sites, such as Frimley Park Hospital, St Peter's Hospital and Margate Hospital are sites for placements during the later years of medical school.
The St George's Students' Union (SGSU) organises various activities including fancy dress discos and a Rag Week, the annual series of fund-raising events.
In recent years the Union has become more politically aware and shown greater interest in National Union of Students and British Medical Association activities.
These 'parents' act as mentors for the new students, giving them advice about the course, often tutoring them when needed, as well as buying them drinks during Freshers' Week and beyond.
Over the years the family expands to include siblings, uncles, aunts, grandparents etc., spanning all the years of the various courses.
St George's enters a team into the British television quiz programme University Challenge each year and has previously excelled through the competition, especially in the field of medicine - unsurprisingly.
There are several societies run by students at St George's focussed on several different aspects of academia, ranging from the Henry Gray Anatomical Society, St George's Surgical Society, Clinical Neuroscience Society, Cardiology Society and Paediatrics Society.
Several clubs and societies cater to different segments of the student population, including cultural groups such as the Association of Chinese and British University Students (ABACUS), Afro-Caribbean Society or Arab Society.
St. George’s Hospital Medical School RFC is one of the oldest rugby clubs in the world having been founded in 1863.
St George's also has a number of other sports clubs including swimming, rowing, cheerleading, volleyball, fencing, football, netball, hockey and many others and participates in various competitions.
As St George's is a member of the United Hospitals, the teams also compete in separate competitions with the five other medical schools within the University of London and that of Imperial College.
In December 1986, it was discovered that a computer program used to process student applications at St. George's, written by Dr Geoffrey Franglen in 1979, had discriminated against non-Caucasians and female candidates by deliberately reducing their likelihood of being offered an interview.
A Commission for Racial Equality inquiry found that this unfairly deprived 60 candidates a year, as well as finding that various senior academics were aware that the program was discriminatory several times between 1982 and 1986.
The New World leaf-nosed bats (Phyllostomidae) are found from southern North America to South America, specifically from Mexico to northern Argentina.
Most species are insectivorous, but the phyllostomid bats include within their number true predatory species and frugivores (subfamily Stenodermatinae and Carolliinae).
Members of this family have evolved to use food groups such as fruit, nectar, pollen, insects, frogs, other bats, and small vertebrates, and in the case of the vampire bats, even blood.
Both the scientific and common names derive from their often large, lance-shaped noses, greatly reduced in some of the nectar- and pollen-feeders.
Most roost in fairly small groups within caves, animal burrows, or hollow trees, although some species aggregate in colonies of several hundred individuals.
The second-most diverse group of mammals behind rodents, bats of order Chiroptera are uniquely the only group of mammals that has evolved the ability to fly.
First appearing in the Eocene epoch, they are believed to have evolved from an arboreal gliding ancestor possibly originating in South America.
The membrane that makes up the bat wing, along with the uropatagium—the membrane stretching between the legs aiding in flight stabilization—is thought to have adapted from an earlier membrane used for gliding.
The Phyllostomidae, also known as New World leaf-nosed bats, are among the most ecologically diverse mammal families, displaying more morphological variation than any other mammalian family.
This variation is measured by diversity in skull morphology and diet-related characteristics: Phyllostomidae consists of species that have evolved physical modifications for insectivory, frugivory, hematophagy, nectarivory, and omnivory.
The nose-leaf—a distinctive characteristic of the family—is thought to have evolved to reflect dietary and foraging behavior of different species of Phyllostomidae.
With an evolutionary history tracing back to the Oligocene, fossil and phylogenetic evidence suggests the family originated about 30 million years ago.
New World leaf-nosed bats are bilaterally symmetrical and endothermic mammals characterized by an elaborate outgrowth of skin on their noses, called a nose-leaf, which is believed to aid in echolocation.
Leaf-nosed bats lack a tail, have triangular-shaped ears that can have pointed or rounded tips, range in body size from 4 cm to 13.5 cm, and a wingspan up to 90 cm or more.
Like other bats, leaf-nosed bats are nocturnal foragers that use echolocation to locate food sources, though the food sources vary between species.
Many bats in the family Phyllostomidae appear to have limited reliance on echolocation, likely because frugivorous bats do not need to quickly identify flying insects like many other bats.
Nearly every roosting option present among bats is represented within this family, including species that prefer to roost alone, as well as species that roost with thousands of other individuals every day.
Leaf-nosed bats generally specialize in a particular type of diet which leads to classification in one of these groups: frugivore, nectarivore, insectivore, omnivore, or haematophagous.
However, categorizations are based only on primary consumption habits, therefore observing species that occasionally consume food items outside of their particular classifications is not uncommon.
Usually, when leaf-nosed bats consume outside of their primary dietary categorization, it is to ensure sufficient intake of nutrients that their primary food source may not provide.
To meet basic nutritional requirements, leaf-nosed bats that primarily feed on fruit and nectar must also ensure sufficient protein and fat intake by consuming insects or leaves.
Certain species with this classification capture their prey either while in flight or from foliage in trees or on the ground.
Female ovulation occurs from October through September, after the female mates, the gestation period ranges from 8–9 months with an initial 3- to 5-month diapause period when the fetus growth is slowed; this diapause period is controlled by hormones.
The female gives birth to a single pup, which has open ears, open eyes, and the first set of deciduous teeth, and is fully furred at birth.
Among species that roost in groups, some evidence exists for a social hierarchy with higher-ranking individuals gaining access to preferred areas of the site.
Apparently, young bats can learn food preferences from their mothers and when they are reluctant to leave the nest, mothers literally nudge the infants out of the roost.
Specifically, it has been found that increased agricultural activity by humans causes negative conservation effects on these habitats and as a result reduces abundance and diversity of leaf-nosed bats that live there.
This species is known to create large roosts in closed mine shafts due to their potential to provide warmth and isolation.
When humans enter the shafts or rework old mines, this disrupts the roosts of the leaf-nosed bats and has the potential to be detrimental to the population as a whole.
The Courtauld Institute of Art (), commonly referred to as The Courtauld, is a self-governing college of the University of London specialising in the study of the history of art and conservation.
It is among the most prestigious institutions in the world for these disciplines and is widely known for the disproportionate number of directors of major museums drawn from its small body of alumni.
The art collection of the Institute is known particularly for its French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings and is housed in the Courtauld Gallery.
As of 2019, the Institute's teaching and research activities have temporarily relocated to Vernon Square, London, while its Somerset House site undergoes a major regeneration project.
The Institute was founded in 1932 through the philanthropic efforts of the industrialist and art collector Samuel Courtauld, the diplomat and collector Lord Lee of Fareham, and the art historian Sir Robert Witt.
The Courtauld Institute of Art is the major centre for the study of the history and conservation of art and architecture in the United Kingdom.
According to the 2014 Research Excellence Framework, the Courtauld hosts the highest proportion of the UK's world-leading and internationally excellent research out of all higher education institutions with 95% of research rated in the top two categories (4*/3*), 56% of which was rated in the 4* category, tied for highest in the UK with London Business School.
Several taught courses are offered at postgraduate level: master's degrees in history of art, curating the art museum, the history of Buddhist art, and the conservation of wall painting are taught alongside diploma courses in the conservation of easel paintings and the history of art.
Students in the history of art master's programme have to choose a specialisation ranging from antiquity to early modern to global contemporary artwork.
The Courtauld has two photographic libraries which started as the private collections of two benefactors: the Conway Library, covering architecture, architectural drawings, sculpture and illuminated manuscripts, named after the Lord Conway of Allington and the Witt Library, after Sir Robert Witt, covering paintings, drawings and engravings and containing over two million reproductions of works by over 70,000 artists.
In 2009, it was decided that the Witt Library would not continue to add new material to the collection, and in 2017 a mass digitisation project which will make both Witt and Conway items available online commenced as part of Courtauld Connects.
An online image collection provides access to more than 40,000 images, including paintings and drawings from the Courtauld Gallery, and over 35,000 photographs of architecture and sculpture from the Conway Library.
Two other websites and sell high resolution digital files to scholars, publishers and broadcasters, and photographic prints to a wide public audience.
The collection was begun by the founder of the Institute, Samuel Courtauld, who presented an extensive collection of mainly French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings in 1932.
It was enhanced by further gifts in the 1930s and a bequest in 1948, and has since received many significant donations and bequests.
The Courtauld Gallery is not presently open to the public, having closed on 3 September 2018 for at least two years for a major redevelopment Since 1989 it has been housed in the Strand block of Somerset House, which was the first home of the Royal Academy, founded in 1768.
These include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the National Gallery, London; the National Portrait Gallery, London; the British Museum, London; the Tate, London; the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, San Francisco; the National Gallery of Art, Washington; and the Museo del Prado, Madrid.
The paradoxical results were both a triumph and a setback for the Alliance Party of the Prime Minister, Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara.
The Alliance captured 51.8 percent of the popular vote, only slightly down on its previous total, but won only 28 seats, 8 fewer than at the previous election of September 1977.
Part of the reason for this discrepancy was that the slight surge in support for Ratu Mara's Alliance in the Indo-Fijian community, from 14 percent to 16 percent, was not sufficient to translate into seats in Fiji's communal electoral system, and did not therefore off-set losses among the ethnic Fijian community, particularly in the west of the country.
The Western United Front of Ratu Osea Gavidi won only two seats, but split the vote, allowing the National Federation party (NFP), with which it tactically allied itself, to pick up six seats for a total of 22.
The School of Advanced Study, a postgraduate institution of the University of London, is the UK's national centre for the promotion and facilitation of research in the humanities and social sciences.
It was established in 1994 and is located in Senate House, in Bloomsbury, central London, close to the British Museum, British Library and several of the colleges of the University of London.
The School brings together nine prestigious research institutes, many of which have long and distinguished histories, to provide a wide range of specialist research services, facilities and resources.
Its nine institutes range in age; the oldest, the Institute of Historical Research, was founded in 1921; the youngest, the Institute of Philosophy, was founded in 2005.
In furtherance of their national and international role, the Institutes of the School undertake high-quality research; maintain and develop library collections and services; develop digital resources; publish journals and book series; host visiting scholars and postdoctoral fellows; organise a range of academic events including workshops, conferences, seminars and lectures; provide specialist research training and postgraduate taught, research, and doctoral programmes.
In music, a pedal point (also pedal note, organ point, pedal tone, or pedal) is a sustained tone, typically in the bass, during which at least one foreign (i.e.
When a pedal point occurs in a voice other than the bass, it is usually referred to as an inverted pedal point (see inversion).
The pedal tone is considered a chord tone in the original harmony, then a nonchord tone during the intervening dissonant harmonies, and then a chord tone again when the harmony resolves.
A dissonant pedal point may go against all harmonies present during its duration, being almost more like an added tone than a nonchord tone, or pedal points may serve as atonal pitch centers.
The term comes from the organ for its ability to sustain a note indefinitely and the tendency for such notes to be played on an organ's pedal keyboard.
The pedal keyboard on an organ is played by the feet; as such, the organist can hold down a pedal point for lengthy periods while both hands perform higher-register music on the manual keyboards.
An internal pedal is a pedal that is similar to the inverted pedal, except that it is played in the middle register between the bass and the upper voices.
A pedal point may be a nonchord tone and thus required to resolve, unlike a drone, or a pedal point may simply be a shorter drone, a drone being a longer pedal point.
Fugues often conclude with figures written over a bass pedal point: Pedal points are also used in other polyphonic compositions to strengthen a final cadence, signal important structural points in the composition, and for their dramatic effect.
Another method of producing a pedal point on the harpsichord is to repeat the pedal point note (or its octave) on every beat.
The rarely seen pedal harpsichord, a harpsichord with a pedal keyboard, makes it easier to perform repeated bass notes on the harpsichord, since both hands are still free to play on the upper manual keyboards.
In this prelude, the repeated bass A that pervades the outer section becomes, through an enharmonic change, a G in the minor key middle section, where it moves from the bass to the top part.
Pedal points for orchestral music are often performed by the double basses with the bow, which creates a sustained, organ-like bass tone underneath the changing harmonies in the upper voices.
A long crescendo begins as the note B natural, which has been present as a subdued pedal point throughout the scene, is now taken up by the kettledrums.
In an ii-V-I progression, some jazz musicians play a V pedal note under all three chords, or under the first two chords.
In small combo jazz or jazz fusion groups, the double bass player or Hammond organist may also introduce a pedal point (usually on the tonic or the dominant) in a tune that does not explicitly request a pedal point, to add tension and interest.
Thrash metal in particular makes abundant use a muted low E string (or lower, if other tunings are used) as a pedal point.
A pannier is a basket, bag, box, or similar container, carried in pairs either slung over the back of a beast of burden, or attached to the sides of a bicycle or motorcycle.
For horse packing, and when carrying particularly heavy loads on other animals they are supported by a pack saddle to distribute weight more evenly across the back of the animal.
The most common setup is to use a pair of smaller panniers (10 to 15 liters each) mounted on a low rider and a pair of larger ones on the rear carrier (20 to 30 liters each).
Commuters who bicycle have pannier options designed to hold laptop computers, files and folders, changes of clothes or shoes and lunches.
Bicycle panniers are usually made of nylon or other synthetic fabric that can be stitched, or, in the case of waterproof panniers, welded together.
The shape of the pannier may be enforced by a frame or stiffening panel made of plastic or metal to help keep it in place and prevent it from contacting a wheel.
Removable panniers hook onto the top edge of the rack and are often held in place by a latch or elastic mechanism.
She was launched on 22 June 1967, sponsored by Miss Lori Brinker, the daughter of Lieutenant Commander Robert Brinker, who was commanding officer of the previous when she was lost with all hands in September 1943 during World War II.
Her scrapping via the U.S. Navys Ship and Submarine Recycling Program at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard at Bremerton, Washington, was completed on 31 March 1998.
Shoaib Akhtar (; born 13 August 1975) is a Pakistani cricket commentator, YouTuber, and former cricketer who played all formats of the game over a fourteen year career.
Akhtar made his Test debut in November 1997 as an opening fast bowler and played his first One Day International three months later.
Akhtar has been involved in several controversies during his career, often accused of unsportsmanlike conduct, despite his commendations for significantly impacting games in Pakistan's favour.
In October 2008, the Lahore High Court in Pakistan suspended the five-year ban and Akhtar was selected in the 15-man squad for the Twenty20 Quadrangular Tournament in Canada.
A good student, Akhtar was admitted to the Asghar Mall College, but disrupted his studies to attend trials for the PIA team's Karachi division to be held in Lahore.
After some struggle, starting his List A career during the 1993/1994 season and his First-class career during the 1994/1995 one, he caught the eye of Majid Khan, then the chief executive of the PCB, and after a good performance for the Pakistan A team's tour of England, in 1996, he was rewarded his maiden Test cap against the West Indies, in 1997.
He was first picked to play on his home ground in Rawalpindi during the 2nd Test of the West Indies 1997/98 tour of Pakistan.
He was subsequently included in the tour of South Africa during the winter of 1998, where he played in all three Tests.
He was notably the spearhead of a depleted Pakistani bowling attack in the Peshawar Test against the visiting Australians later in 1998, where Mark Taylor scored his famous unbeaten 334 in Australia's first innings.
However he performed poorly during the 2003 Cricket World Cup and after the tournament he was dropped from the Pakistan squad.
He was selected back into the Pakistan squad as they had no choice in the 2004 Test match series against New Zealand, but struggled in a losing Test series against India in 2004.
The series ended with a controversy when he left the field citing an injury leading to suspicions by former Pakistan captain, Inzamam-ul-Haq, about his commitment to the team.
A medical panel was set up by the Pakistan Cricket Board to investigate the nature of his injury, however Pakistan officials dispelled all suspicions.
His comeback was also remarkable as prior to his return, he had been criticised from all corners; such as by the Worcestershire chairman John Elliot for his celebrity attitude and lack of commitment to the team.
On 29 October 2007, Akhtar made his return to cricket, from his 13 match ban and performed well, taking 4 wickets for 43 runs against South Africa in the fifth and deciding One Day International series in Lahore in Pakistan.
Subsequently, he was included in the 16-man Pakistan squad for the 2007 tour of India, which again he underperformed in 2007 series against India.
On 15 June 2010, Akhtar made his return, taking 3 wickets for 28 runs in the first match of the Asia Cup against Sri Lanka.
In July 2010, he was selected for the Twenty20 series against Australia but the selectors decided not to play him in the Test squad so that he would not get injured.
He continued to bowl well in the ODI series in the absence of regular fast-bowlers, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir, who were suspended by the International Cricket Council amid allegations of Spot-fixing.
Despite his relatively good bowling form, Pakistani coach Waqar Younis insisted that the bowling attack must not become reliant on Akhtar, as he is 35 years of age and fitness troubles continue to affect him.
Akhtar was selected for the tour of New Zealand and started his campaign off well with 3 wickets on Boxing Day in the first of two Twenty20 Internationals against New Zealand.
Akhtar was selected in Pakistan's 15-man squad to play in the 2011 World Cup hosted by Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka in February to March.
Akhtar has played for three English county cricket clubs: Somerset in 2001, Durham in 2003 and 2004 and Worcestershire in 2005.
He did achieve his moments of success, such as taking 5 wickets for 35 runs for Durham against Somerset in the National League in 2003 and claiming 6 wickets for 16 runs in the same competition for Worcestershire against Gloucestershire two years later, but he suffered from fitness problems, as well as a perception that he was less than interested in his task.
Akhtar made a successful return to cricket in his first game in the Indian Premier League, playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders against the Delhi Daredevils.
Defending a low score of 133 runs, Akhtar took four top order wickets which ultimately led to the Daredevils being restricted to 110 runs.
He ended with figures of 4 wickets for 11 runs from three overs, a performance which earned him the player of the match award.
After a poor performance in the 2003 Cricket World Cup, he got involved in a verbal conflict with former Pakistan captain and fast bowler Waqar Younis.
In a triangular series in 2003 held in Sri Lanka, he was caught ball tampering making him the second player in cricket to be banned on ball tampering charges.
The same year he was banned for one Test match and two One Day International matches for abusing South African spin bowler Paul Adams, during a match against South Africa.
In the 2004 home series with India, he struggled with wrist and back injuries, which raised questions about his commitment to the team.
He was sent back from the 2005 Australia tour with a hamstring injury amid rumours of indiscipline, lack of commitment and attitudinal complaints.
The rest of his cricketing career was riddled with ankle and knee injuries which forced him to undergo a surgery in February 2006, until finally he was banned for two years for allegedly using performance-enhancing drugs.
In November 2006, an officer assigned to the Pakistan team in India, Anil Kaul, alleged that Akhtar had slapped former coach Bob Woolmer following a fight over the music to be played in the team bus on the eve of ICC Champions Trophy.
On 16 October 2006 Akhtar was suspended by the Pakistan Cricket Board, along with Mohammed Asif after they tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance nandrolone.
Former Pakistan captain Inzamam ul-Haq had also previously complained about Akhtar's drug abuse but was not reported to the Pakistan Cricket Board.
On 1 November 2006 the Pakistan Cricket Board handed down a two-year suspension to Akhtar and a one-year suspension to Asif, banning them from professional cricket during the period.
After a clear hearing from Akhtar's lawyer Abid Hassan Minto, the three-man committee, voted two to one in favour of the acquittal.
Other established facts by the committee included that the duo were not aware of the banned drug to be present in their supplements because the Pakistan Cricket Board itself had not informed them of the dangers of contaminated supplements.
Akhtar and Asif, however, did not play in the subsequent Test match series against the West Indies because the Pakistan Cricket Board had recommended that they play domestic games first to recover form and fitness.
On 1 March 2007 Akhtar and Asif were ruled out of the Pakistani squad for the 2007 Cricket World Cup by team officials, minutes before the squad was to depart for the West Indies.
The team management along with the Pakistan Cricket Board said their injuries were too severe to risk taking them to the Caribbean.
World Anti-Doping Agency ( WADA) challenged Pakistan's decision to lift bans on fast bowlers Akhtar and Asif by taking the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland.
On 2 July 2007, the Court of Arbitration for Sport dropped the case, ruling it had no jurisdiction to challenge the decision made by PCB.
In August 2007, Akhtar was reported to have used foul language against Pakistan Cricket Board protesting the imposing of fine of Rs.
In the week before the inaugural World Twenty20, held in South Africa, Akhtar was rumoured to have hit Pakistani teammate Mohammad Asif with a bat after an argument in the dressing room.
After the initial inquiry, Akhtar was found to be at fault and was subsequently recalled from the Twenty20 World Cup squad and was sent home.
Despite the ban not preventing him from playing in the Indian Premier League, the IPL governing council decided not to allow Akhtar to play in the tournament until the end of the ban or unless it is lifted.
A three-man appellate tribunal announced on 30 April that they had temporarily upheld Akhtar's five-year ban, deciding to revist the appeal hearing in June.
On 4 May, the Pakistan Cricket Board's appellate tribunal suspended the five-year ban for one month, until they reconvene on 4 June, allowing Akhtar to take part in the ongoing Indian Premier League.
A day later, the Pakistan Cricket Board announced that they will no longer pursue the defamation suit following a reconciliation between Akhtar and chairman Nasim Ashraf at the house of Rehman Malik, a key political official, in Islamabad.
On 4 September 2008, Akhtar was sent back home from Heathrow airport by British immigration officials on visa grounds; Akhtar only had a visit visa but not a working visa, which is required to play in county cricket.
The Alliance Party (Fiji) of the longtime Prime Minister, Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara, was defeated by a multiracial coalition, consisting of the Fiji Labour Party (contesting the election for the first time), the Indo-Fijian-dominated National Federation Party, and two smaller parties, the Western United Front and the Fiji Nationalist Party.
In the House of Representatives, the coalition won a total of 28 seats to the Alliance's 24, and Dr Timoci Bavadra, the leader of the coalition, became Prime Minister.
(Fiji then had a complex voting system, allocating ethnic Fijians and Indo-Fijians 22 seats each, with a further 8 reserved for Europeans, Chinese, and other minorities.
Only six ethnic Fijians, including Dr Bavadra, were appointed to the new cabinet, as opposed to seven Into-Fijians and minority representatives.
Effective Indo-Fijian domination of the government caused widespread resentment among the ethnic Fijian community, and after less than a month in office, the new government was deposed in on 14 May 1987 in a coup d'état led by Lieutenant-Colonel Sitiveni Rabuka.
Preferred stock (also called preferred shares, preference shares or simply preferreds) is a form of stock which may have any combination of features not possessed by common stock including properties of both an equity and a debt instrument, and is generally considered a hybrid instrument.
Preferred stocks are senior (i.e., higher ranking) to common stock, but subordinate to bonds in terms of claim (or rights to their share of the assets of the company) and may have priority over common stock (ordinary shares) in the payment of dividends and upon liquidation.
The rating for preferred stocks is generally lower than for bonds because preferred dividends do not carry the same guarantees as interest payments from bonds and because preferred-stock holders' claims are junior to those of all creditors.
The preference does not assure the payment of dividends, but the company must pay the stated dividends on preferred stock before or at the same time as any dividends on common stock.
A cumulative preferred requires that if a company fails to pay a dividend (or pays less than the stated rate), it must make up for it at a later time in order to ever pay common-stock dividends again.
The above list (which includes several customary rights) is not comprehensive; preferred shares (like other legal arrangements) may specify nearly any right conceivable.
Preferred shares in the U.S. normally carry a call provision, enabling the issuing corporation to repurchase the share at its (usually limited) discretion.
Preferred stocks offer a company an alternative form of financing—for example through pension-led funding; in some cases, a company can defer dividends by going into arrears with little penalty or risk to its credit rating, however, such action could have a negative impact on the company meeting the terms of its financing contract.
Occasionally companies use preferred shares as means of preventing hostile takeovers, creating preferred shares with a poison pill (or forced-exchange or conversion features) which are exercised upon a change in control.
Some corporations contain provisions in their charters authorizing the issuance of preferred stock whose terms and conditions may be determined by the board of directors when issued.
Therefore, when preferred shares are first issued their governing document may contain protective provisions preventing the issuance of new preferred shares with a senior claim.
Individual series of preferred shares may have a senior, pari-passu (equal), or junior relationship with other series issued by the same corporation.
Preferred shares are more common in private or pre-public companies, where it is useful to distinguish between the control of and the economic interest in the company.
On the other hand, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange prohibits listed companies from having more than one class of capital stock.
A company raising Venture capital or other funding may undergo several rounds of financing, with each round receiving separate rights and having a separate class of preferred stock.
An additional advantage of issuing preferred shares to investors but common shares to employees is the ability to retain a lower 409(a) valuation for common shares, and thus a lower strike price for incentive stock options.
Straight preferreds are issued in perpetuity (although some are subject to call by the issuer, under certain conditions) and pay a stipulated dividend rate to the holder.
Like a bond, a straight preferred does not participate in future earnings and dividend growth of the company, or growth in the price of the common stock.
However, a bond has greater security than the preferred and has a maturity date at which the principal is to be repaid.
However, the potential increase in the market price of the common (and its dividends, paid from future growth of the company) is lacking for the preferred.
One advantage of the preferred to its issuer is that the preferred receives better equity credit at rating agencies than straight debt (since it is usually perpetual).
Also, certain types of preferred stock qualify as Tier 1 capital; this allows financial institutions to satisfy regulatory requirements without diluting common shareholders.
If an investor paid par ($100) today for a typical straight preferred, such an investment would give a current yield of just over six percent.
If, in a few years, 10-year Treasuries were to yield more than 13 percent to maturity (as they did in 1981) these preferreds would yield at least 13 percent; since the rate of dividend is fixed, this would reduce their market price to $46, a 54-percent loss.
The difference between straight preferreds and Treasuries (or any investment-grade Federal-agency or corporate bond) is that the bonds would move up to par as their maturity date approaches; however, the straight preferred (having no maturity date) might remain at these $40 levels (or lower) for a long time.
Advantages of straight preferreds may include higher yields and—in the U.S. at least—tax advantages; they yield about 2 percent more than 10-year Treasuries, rank ahead of common stock in case of bankruptcy and dividends are taxable at a maximum rate of 15% rather than at ordinary-income rates (as with bond interest).
Preferred shares represent a significant portion of Canadian capital markets, with over C$11.2 billion in new preferred shares issued in 2016.
Many Canadian issuers are financial organizations which may count capital raised in the preferred-share market as Tier 1 capital (provided that the shares issued are perpetual).
Preferential tax treatment of dividend income (as opposed to interest income) may, in many cases, result in a greater after-tax return than might be achieved with bonds.
By transferring common shares in exchange for fixed-value preferred shares, business owners can allow future gains in the value of the business to accrue to others (such as a discretionary trust).
The rights of holders of preference shares in Germany are usually rather similar to those of ordinary shares, except for some dividend preference and no voting right in many topics of shareholders' meetings.
If the vote passes, German law requires consensus with preferred stockholders to convert their stock (which is usually encouraged by offering a one-time premium to preferred stockholders).
Industry stock indices usually do not consider preferred stock in determining the daily trading volume of a company's stock; for example, they do not qualify the company for a listing due to a low trading volume in common stocks.
Dated preferred shares (normally having an original maturity of at least five years) may be included in Lower Tier 2 capital.
In the United States, the issuance of publicly listed preferred stock is generally limited to financial institutions, REITs and public utilities.
Because in the U.S. dividends on preferred stock are not tax-deductible at the corporate level (in contrast to interest expense), the effective cost of capital raised by preferred stock is significantly greater than issuing the equivalent amount of debt at the same interest rate.
With the passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2010, TRuPS will be phased out as a vehicle for raising Tier 1 capital by bank holding companies.
However, with a qualified dividend tax rate of 23.8% (compared to a top ordinary interest marginal tax rate of 40.8%), $1 of dividend income taxed at this rate provides the same after-tax income as approximately $1.30 in interest income.
The size of the preferred stock market in the United States has been estimated as $100 billion (), compared to $9.5 trillion for equities and US$4.0 trillion for bonds.
The main, and thickest layer, consists of a mixture of soft, fresh cheese (typically cream cheese or ricotta), eggs, and sugar.
If there is a bottom layer, it often consists of a crust or base made from crushed cookies (or digestive biscuits), graham crackers, pastry, or sometimes sponge cake.
Additional flavors and visual appeal may be added by topping the finished pie with fruit, whipped cream, nuts, cookies, fruit sauce, chocolate syrup, or other toppings.
An ancient form of cheesecake may have been a popular dish in ancient Greece even prior to Romans' adoption of it with the conquest of Greece.
People who classify it as a torte point to the presence of many eggs, which are the sole source of leavening, as a key factor.
For others, the overall structure, with the separate crust, the soft filling, and the absence of flour, is compelling evidence that it is a custard pie.
The United States has several different recipes for cheesecake and this usually depends on the region in which the cake was baked, as well as the cultural background of the person baking it.
The origins of the London College of Fashion are in three early London trade schools for women: the Shoreditch Technical Institute Girls School, founded in 1906; the Barrett Street Trade School, founded in 1915; and the Clapham Trade School, founded in 1927.
All were set up by the technical education board of the London County Council to train skilled labour for trades including dressmaking, millinery, embroidery, women's tailoring and hairdressing; to these, furriery and men's tailoring were later added.
Graduates of the schools found work either in the garment factories of the East End, or in the skilled dressmaking and fashion shops of the West End of London.
Barrett Street Trade School became Barrett Street Technical College, and the Shoreditch and Clapham schools were merged to form Shoreditch College for the Garment Trades.
In 1986 the London College of Fashion became part of the London Institute, which was formed by the Inner London Education Authority to bring together seven London art, design, fashion and media schools.
The London Institute became a legal entity in 1988, could award taught degrees from 1993, was granted University status in 2003 and was renamed University of the Arts London in 2004.
In August 2000 Cordwainers College, a specialist school for leather-working, shoemaking and saddlery, was merged with the London College of Fashion.
The students participating in this course used cutting-edge technology like mixed reality, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence for fashion innovation related to industry and consumer needs.
Other campuses are at 272 High Holborn; 40 Lime Grove in Shepherd's Bush, and, in East London: 182 Mare Street (which was formerly home to the Lady Eleanor Holles School before it relocated to Hampton,); 100 Curtain Road (Old Street) and Golden Lane (Old Street).
The London College of Fashion is a constituent college of the University of the Arts London, with Camberwell College of Arts, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, Chelsea College of Art and Design, London College of Communication and Wimbledon College of Art.
It was founded in 1894 as the Northampton Institute, and became a university when The City University was created by royal charter in 1966.
The Inns of Court School of Law, which merged with City in 2001, was established in 1852, making it the University's oldest constituent part.
City joined the federal University of London on 1 September 2016, becoming part of the eighteen colleges and ten research institutes that make up that university.
The university has its main campus in Central London in the London Borough of Islington, with additional campuses in Islington, the City, the West End and East End.
The annual income of the institution for 2016–17 was £227.0 million, of which £11.6 million was from research grants and contracts, with an expenditure of £221.4 million.

City University traces its origin to the Northampton Institute, established in 1852 and named after the Marquess of Northampton who donated the land on which the institute was built, between Northampton Square and St John Street in Islington.
Arthur George Cocksedge, a British gymnast who competed in the 1920 Summer Olympics, was a member of the Northampton Polytechnic Institute's Gymnastics Club and was Champion of the United Kingdom in 1920.
The Handley Page Type A, the first powered aircraft designed and built by him, ended up as an instructional airframe at the school.
The six original departments at the institute were Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering; Artistic Crafts; Domestic Economy and Women's Trades; Electro-Chemistry; Horology (the science of time and art of clock-making); and Mechanical Engineering and Metal Trades.
The Institute had been involved in aeronautics education since that year, and the School of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences celebrated the centenary of aeronautics at City in 2009.

City ranked 7th out of the 168 universities surveyed in the 2016 People & Planet league table of the most sustainable UK universities.
It was the highest ranking University of London institution, and one of only two in the top twenty (LSE being 14th).
It also noted nearly £1m of research funding into renewables since 2001 with just £64k of total funding from fossil fuel companies; and no honorary degrees or board positions held by fossil fuel executives.
City University's Bastwick Street Halls of Residence in Islington was the first home of the MasterChef kitchen following its 2005 revival.
It is named after prince Guillermo Pío de Saboya, a member of the Pio di Savoia family, whose wife Juana de Moura owned property there.
The Madrilene rebels who fought the Napoleonic invaders were executed there on the morning of 3 May 1808, as painted by Francisco de Goya.
The former location of the barracks is now the site of the Temple of Debod, a Nubian temple given by the Egyptian government to Spain in gratitude for Spanish help in saving antiquities during the building of the Aswan Dam.
These activities include production of conventional, alternative and renewable sources of energy, and for the recovery and reuse of energy that would otherwise be wasted.
Energy conservation and efficiency measures reduce the demand for energy development, and can have benefits to society with improvements to environmental issues.
Energy resources may be classified as primary resources, where the resource can be used in substantially its original form, or as secondary resources, where the energy source must be converted into a more conveniently usable form.
Non-renewable resources are significantly depleted by human use, whereas renewable resources are produced by ongoing processes that can sustain indefinite human exploitation.
Energy resources may be classified as primary resources, suitable for end use without conversion to another form, or secondary resources, where the usable form of energy required substantial conversion from a primary source.
Examples of primary energy resources are wind power, solar power, wood fuel, fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas, and uranium.
Examples are hydroelectric power or wind power, when the natural phenomena that are the primary source of energy are ongoing and not depleted by human demands.
Non-renewable resources are those that are significantly depleted by human usage and that will not recover their potential significantly during human lifetimes.
An example of a non-renewable energy source is coal, which does not form naturally at a rate that would support human use.
Heat from burning fossil fuel is used either directly for space heating and process heating, or converted to mechanical energy for vehicles, industrial processes, or electrical power generation.
Liquid fuels derived from petroleum deliver a great deal of usable energy per unit of weight or volume, which is advantageous when compared with lower energy density sources such as a battery.
While the processes that created fossil fuels are ongoing, fuels are consumed far more quickly than the natural rate of replenishment.
Fuel efficiency is a form of thermal efficiency, meaning the efficiency of a process that converts chemical potential energy contained in a carrier fuel into kinetic energy or work.
The fuel economy is the energy efficiency of a particular vehicle, is given as a ratio of distance travelled per unit of fuel consumed.
In 2010, it was estimated that an investment in non-renewable resources of $8 trillion would be required to maintain current levels of production for 25 years.
Fossil fuels are also a source of greenhouse gas emissions, leading to concerns about global warming if consumption is not reduced.
Other emissions from fossil fuel power station include sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds (VOC), mercury, arsenic, lead, cadmium, and other heavy metals including traces of uranium.
Nuclear power plants, excluding naval reactors, provided about 5.7% of the world's energy and 13% of the world's electricity in 2012.
In 2013, the IAEA report that there are 437 operational nuclear power reactors, in 31 countries, although not every reactor is producing electricity.
As of 2013, attaining a net energy gain from sustained nuclear fusion reactions, excluding natural fusion power sources such as the Sun, remains an ongoing area of international physics and engineering research.
Proponents, such as the World Nuclear Association, the IAEA and Environmentalists for Nuclear Energy contend that nuclear power is a safe, sustainable energy source that reduces carbon emissions.
Nuclear power plant accidents include the Chernobyl disaster (1986), Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (2011), and the Three Mile Island accident (1979).
In terms of lives lost per unit of energy generated, analysis has determined that nuclear power has caused less fatalities per unit of energy generated than the other major sources of energy generation.
Energy production from coal, petroleum, natural gas and hydropower has caused a greater number of fatalities per unit of energy generated due to air pollution and energy accident effects.
Nuclear power is a low carbon power generation method of producing electricity, with an analysis of the literature on its total life cycle emission intensity finding that it is similar to renewable sources in a comparison of greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions per unit of energy generated.
Since the 1970s, nuclear fuel has displaced about 64 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent(GtCO2-eq) greenhouse gases, that would have otherwise resulted from the burning of oil, coal or natural gas in fossil-fuel power stations.
As of 2012, according to the IAEA, worldwide there were 68 civil nuclear power reactors under construction in 15 countries, approximately 28 of which in the People's Republic of China (PRC), with the most recent nuclear power reactor, as of May 2013, to be connected to the electrical grid, occurring on February 17, 2013 in Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant in the PRC.
Japan's 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident, which occurred in a reactor design from the 1960s, prompted a rethink of nuclear safety and nuclear energy policy in many countries.
Following Fukushima, in 2011 the International Energy Agency halved its estimate of additional nuclear generating capacity to be built by 2035.
Recent experiments in extraction of uranium use polymer ropes that are coated with a substance that selectively absorbs uranium from seawater.
Since ongoing geologic processes carry uranium to the sea in amounts comparable to the amount that would be extracted by this process, in a sense the sea-borne uranium becomes a sustainable resource.
The economics of new nuclear power plants is a controversial subject, since there are diverging views on this topic, and multibillion-dollar investments ride on the choice of an energy source.
In recent years there has been a slowdown of electricity demand growth and financing has become more difficult, which affects large projects such as nuclear reactors, with very large upfront costs and long project cycles which carry a large variety of risks.
In Eastern Europe, a number of long-established projects are struggling to find finance, notably Belene in Bulgaria and the additional reactors at Cernavoda in Romania, and some potential backers have pulled out.
To date all operating nuclear power plants were developed by state-owned or regulated utility monopolies where many of the risks associated with construction costs, operating performance, fuel price, and other factors were borne by consumers rather than suppliers.
Many countries have now liberalized the electricity market where these risks, and the risk of cheaper competitors emerging before capital costs are recovered, are borne by plant suppliers and operators rather than consumers, which leads to a significantly different evaluation of the economics of new nuclear power plants.
Costs are likely to go up for currently operating and new nuclear power plants, due to increased requirements for on-site spent fuel management and elevated design basis threats.
While first of their kind designs, such as the EPRs under construction are behind schedule and over-budget, of the seven South Korean APR-1400s presently under construction worldwide, two are in S.Korea at the Hanul Nuclear Power Plant and four are at the largest nuclear station construction project in the world as of 2016, in the United Arab Emirates at the planned Barakah nuclear power plant.
Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat.
Renewable energy replaces conventional fuels in four distinct areas: electricity generation, hot water/space heating, motor fuels, and rural (off-grid) energy services.
About 16% of global final energy consumption presently comes from renewable resources, with 10% of all energy from traditional biomass, mainly used for heating, and 3.4% from hydroelectricity.
At the national level, at least 30 nations around the world already have renewable energy contributing more than 20% of energy supply.
Wind power, for example, is growing at the rate of 30% annually, with a worldwide installed capacity of 282,482 megawatts (MW) at the end of 2012.
Renewable energy resources exist over wide geographical areas, in contrast to other energy sources, which are concentrated in a limited number of countries.
While many renewable energy projects are large-scale, renewable technologies are also suited to rural and remote areas and developing countries, where energy is often crucial in human development.
United Nations' Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said that renewable energy has the ability to lift the poorest nations to new levels of prosperity.
In 2015 hydropower generated 16.6% of the world's total electricity and 70% of all renewable electricity and is expected to increase about 3.1% each year for the next 25 years.
China is the largest hydroelectricity producer, with 721 terawatt-hours of production in 2010, representing around 17 percent of domestic electricity use.
There are now three hydroelectricity plants larger than 10 GW: the Three Gorges Dam in China, Itaipu Dam across the Brazil/Paraguay border, and Guri Dam in Venezuela.
The average cost of electricity from a hydro plant larger than 10 megawatts is 3 to 5 U.S. cents per kilowatt-hour.
Hydro is also a flexible source of electricity since plants can be ramped up and down very quickly to adapt to changing energy demands.
However, damming interrupts the flow of rivers and can harm local ecosystems, and building large dams and reservoirs often involves displacing people and wildlife.
Once a hydroelectric complex is constructed, the project produces no direct waste, and has a considerably lower output level of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide than fossil fuel powered energy plants.
Global wind power capacity has expanded rapidly to 336 GW in June 2014, and wind energy production was around 4% of total worldwide electricity usage, and growing rapidly.
Several countries have achieved relatively high levels of wind power penetration, such as 21% of stationary electricity production in Denmark, 18% in Portugal, 16% in Spain, 14% in Ireland, and 9% in Germany in 2010.
Solar energy, radiant light and heat from the sun, is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, solar photovoltaics, solar thermal electricity, solar architecture and artificial photosynthesis.
Solar technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on the way they capture, convert and distribute solar energy.
Passive solar techniques include orienting a building to the Sun, selecting materials with favorable thermal mass or light dispersing properties, and designing spaces that naturally circulate air.
It will increase countries’ energy security through reliance on an indigenous, inexhaustible and mostly import-independent resource, enhance sustainability, reduce pollution, lower the costs of mitigating climate change, and keep fossil fuel prices lower than otherwise.
Photovoltaics (PV) is a method of generating electrical power by converting solar radiation into direct current electricity using semiconductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect.
Due to the increased demand for renewable energy sources, the manufacturing of solar cells and photovoltaic arrays has advanced considerably in recent years.
By the end of 2018, a total of 505 GW had been installed worldwide with 100 GW installed in that year.
Driven by advances in technology and increases in manufacturing scale and sophistication, the cost of photovoltaics has declined steadily since the first solar cells were manufactured, and the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) from PV is competitive with conventional electricity sources in an expanding list of geographic regions.
Net metering and financial incentives, such as preferential feed-in tariffs for solar-generated electricity, have supported solar PV installations in many countries.
Moreover, the payback time decreased in the recent years due to a number of improvements such as solar cell efficiency and more economic manufacturing processes.
Installations may be ground-mounted (and sometimes integrated with farming and grazing) or built into the roof or walls of a building (either building-integrated photovoltaics or simply rooftop).
These fuels are made by a biomass conversion (biomass refers to recently living organisms, most often referring to plants or plant-derived materials).
This biomass can be converted to convenient energy containing substances in three different ways: thermal conversion, chemical conversion, and biochemical conversion.
Bioethanol is an alcohol made by fermentation, mostly from carbohydrates produced in sugar or starch crops such as corn or sugarcane.
Cellulosic biomass, derived from non-food sources, such as trees and grasses, is also being developed as a feedstock for ethanol production.
Ethanol can be used as a fuel for vehicles in its pure form, but it is usually used as a gasoline additive to increase octane and improve vehicle emissions.
Biodiesel can be used as a fuel for vehicles in its pure form, but it is usually used as a diesel additive to reduce levels of particulates, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons from diesel-powered vehicles.
In 2010, worldwide biofuel production reached 105 billion liters (28 billion gallons US), up 17% from 2009, and biofuels provided 2.7% of the world's fuels for road transport, a contribution largely made up of ethanol and biodiesel.
Global ethanol fuel production reached 86 billion liters (23 billion gallons US) in 2010, with the United States and Brazil as the world's top producers, accounting together for 90% of global production.
As of 2011, mandates for blending biofuels exist in 31 countries at the national level and in 29 states or provinces.
The International Energy Agency has a goal for biofuels to meet more than a quarter of world demand for transportation fuels by 2050 to reduce dependence on petroleum and coal.
The geothermal energy of the Earth's crust originates from the original formation of the planet (20%) and from radioactive decay of minerals (80%).
The geothermal gradient, which is the difference in temperature between the core of the planet and its surface, drives a continuous conduction of thermal energy in the form of heat from the core to the surface.
The high temperature and pressure in Earth's interior cause some rock to melt and solid mantle to behave plastically, resulting in portions of mantle convecting upward since it is lighter than the surrounding rock.
From hot springs, geothermal energy has been used for bathing since Paleolithic times and for space heating since ancient Roman times, but it is now better known for electricity generation.
An additional 28 gigawatts of direct geothermal heating capacity is installed for district heating, space heating, spas, industrial processes, desalination and agricultural applications in 2010.
Geothermal power is cost effective, reliable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly, but has historically been limited to areas near tectonic plate boundaries.
Recent technological advances have dramatically expanded the range and size of viable resources, especially for applications such as home heating, opening a potential for widespread exploitation.
Geothermal wells release greenhouse gases trapped deep within the earth, but these emissions are much lower per energy unit than those of fossil fuels.
As a result, geothermal power has the potential to help mitigate global warming if widely deployed in place of fossil fuels.
The Earth's geothermal resources are theoretically more than adequate to supply humanity's energy needs, but only a very small fraction may be profitably exploited.
Pilot programs like EWEB's customer opt in Green Power Program show that customers would be willing to pay a little more for a renewable energy source like geothermal.
But as a result of government assisted research and industry experience, the cost of generating geothermal power has decreased by 25% over the past two decades.
Marine energy or marine power (also sometimes referred to as ocean energy, ocean power, or marine and hydrokinetic energy) refers to the energy carried by ocean waves, tides, salinity, and ocean temperature differences.
Offshore wind power is not a form of marine energy, as wind power is derived from the wind, even if the wind turbines are placed over water.
The incentive to use 100% renewable energy, for electricity, transport, or even total primary energy supply globally, has been motivated by global warming and other ecological as well as economic concerns.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has said that there are few fundamental technological limits to integrating a portfolio of renewable energy technologies to meet most of total global energy demand.
At the national level, at least 30 nations around the world already have renewable energy contributing more than 20% of energy supply.
Mark Z. Jacobson says producing all new energy with wind power, solar power, and hydropower by 2030 is feasible and existing energy supply arrangements could be replaced by 2050.
Smil and Hansen are concerned about the variable output of solar and wind power, but Amory Lovins argues that the electricity grid can cope, just as it routinely backs up nonworking coal-fired and nuclear plants with working ones.
The project was cancelled after concluding that a best-case scenario for rapid advances in renewable energy could only result in emissions 55 percent below the fossil fuel projections for 2050.
Although increasing the efficiency of energy use is not energy development per se, it may be considered under the topic of energy development since it makes existing energy sources available to do work.
According to the International Energy Agency, improved energy efficiency in buildings, industrial processes and transportation could reduce the world's energy needs in 2050 by one third, and help control global emissions of greenhouse gases.
In many countries energy efficiency is also seen to have a national security benefit because it can be used to reduce the level of energy imports from foreign countries and may slow down the rate at which domestic energy resources are depleted.
Electricity grids are the networks used to transmit and distribute power from production source to end user, when the two may be hundreds of kilometres away.
Industrialised countries such as Canada, the US, and Australia are among the highest per capita consumers of electricity in the world, which is possible thanks to a widespread electrical distribution network.
Wireless power transfer is a process whereby electrical energy is transmitted from a power source to an electrical load that does not have a built-in power source, without the use of interconnecting wires.
The proposed method involves creating a large beam of microwave-frequency radio waves, which would be aimed at a collector antenna site on the Earth.
Some technologies provide only short-term energy storage, and others can be very long-term such as power to gas using hydrogen or methane and the storage of heat or cold between opposing seasons in deep aquifers or bedrock.
A wind-up clock stores potential energy (in this case mechanical, in the spring tension), a battery stores readily convertible chemical energy to operate a mobile phone, and a hydroelectric dam stores energy in a reservoir as gravitational potential energy.
Ice storage tanks store ice (thermal energy in the form of latent heat) at night to meet peak demand for cooling.
Fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline store ancient energy derived from sunlight by organisms that later died, became buried and over time were then converted into these fuels.
Even food (which is made by the same process as fossil fuels) is a form of energy stored in chemical form.
Since prehistory, when humanity discovered fire to warm up and roast food, through the Middle Ages in which populations built windmills to grind the wheat, until the modern era in which nations can get electricity splitting the atom.
Except nuclear, geothermal and tidal, all other energy sources are from current solar isolation or from fossil remains of plant and animal life that relied upon sunlight.
Geothermal power from hot, hardened rock above the magma of the Earth's core is the result of the decay of radioactive materials present beneath the Earth's crust, and nuclear fission relies on man-made fission of heavy radioactive elements in the Earth's crust; in both cases these elements were produced in supernova explosions before the formation of the solar system.
Renewable energy is sustainable in its production; the available supply will not be diminished for the foreseeable future - millions or billions of years.
The authors argued that simply switching to domestic energy would not be secure inherently because the true weakness is the interdependent and vulnerable energy infrastructure of the United States.
In 2008, former Intel Corporation Chairman and CEO Andrew Grove looked to energy resilience, arguing that complete independence is unfeasible given the global market for energy.
According to Grove, a key aspect of advancing electrification and energy resilience will be converting the U.S. automotive fleet from gasoline-powered to electric-powered.
If investment is greater than the value of the energy produced by the resource, it is no longer an effective energy source.
New technology may lower the energy investment required to extract and convert the resources, although ultimately basic physics sets limits that cannot be exceeded.
The energy for the Green Revolution was provided by fossil fuels in the form of fertilizers (natural gas), pesticides (oil), and hydrocarbon fueled irrigation.
One vision of a sustainable energy future involves all human structures on the earth's surface (i.e., buildings, vehicles and roads) doing artificial photosynthesis (using sunlight to split water as a source of hydrogen and absorbing carbon dioxide to make fertilizer) efficiently than plants.
With contemporary space industry's economic activity and the related private spaceflight, with the manufacturing industries, that go into Earth's orbit or beyond, delivering them to those regions will require further energy development.
Nafarroa Bai () was a Navarrese coalition in Spain of Basque nationalist and regional left-wing parties created in 2003 for the 2004 Spanish General election.
The coalition comprised Aralar, the Basque Nationalist Party, Eusko Alkartasuna (Basque Solidarity), Batzarre, and local independents, but not the outlawed Basque nationalists of Batasuna or Accion Nacionalista Vasca (ANV), traditionally the Basque nationalist party in Navarre with strongest support, for its stance on ETA's violence.
All these parties usually ran by themselves competing with each other at elections held in the neighbouring autonomous community of the Basque country but agreed to run together in Navarre.
Basque nationalism does not hold a majority there, and the move was aimed at optimizing the Basque nationalist electoral results in Navarre.
The coalition came up third and won a seat in the Spanish Parliament in 2004, gaining 18.4% of the votes cast in Navarre.
In 2007 the coalition became the second largest political force in Navarre's autonomous parliament, virtually tied with the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSN–PSOE) by obtaining 23.7% of the votes cast and 12 seats.
Five of the seats belonged to Aralar, four to EA and one for each the PNV and Batzarre, another one is independent.
Its most significant politicians were Patxi Zabaleta (Aralar), Maiorga Ramírez (Eusko Alkartasuna) and Uxue Barkos, a respected journalist who had worked for the Basque Television.
In the 2008 Spanish General Election, Nafarroa Bai repeated the results of 2004 (18.5%), again coming up third in the autonomous community and repeating its only seat in the Spanish Parliament.
By 2011, new parties and coalitions jumped onto the political scene on the eve of the votation campaign after tribunals in Madrid decided on their legalization.
The coalition then broke up when Eusko Alkartasuna and Aralar left it, and the leftovers of the coalition revamped as Geroa Bai, this time participated only by PNV and other minor groups, and led by Uxue Barkos.
Chelsea College of Arts is a constituent college of the University of the Arts London based in London, UK, and is a leading British art and design institution with an international reputation.
It offers further and higher education courses in fine art, graphic design, interior design, spatial design and textile design up to PhD level.
Chelsea College of Arts was originally an integral school of the South-Western Polytechnic, which opened at Manresa Road, Chelsea, in 1895 to provide scientific and technical education to Londoners.
The South-Western Polytechnic became the Chelsea Polytechnic in 1922 and taught a growing number of registered students of the University of London.
At the beginning of the 1930s, the School of Art began to widen, including courses in craft training and commercial design from 1931.
Alumni from this period included Elizabeth Frink, Edward Burra, Patrick Caulfield, Ethel Walker, Dirk Bogarde, Robert Clatworthy, John Latham and John Berger.
The School of Science separated and became known as the Chelsea College of Science and Technology in 1957, and was later admitted as a constituent College of the University of London in 1966.
The Chelsea College of Science and Technology was granted its Royal Charter in 1971 and merged with King's College London and Queen Elizabeth College in 1985.
The School of Art merged with the Hammersmith School of Art, founded by Francis Hawke, to form the Chelsea School of Art in 1908.
The newly formed school was taken over by the London County Council and a new building erected at Lime Grove, which opened with an extended curriculum.
The school acquired premises at Great Titchfield Street, and was jointly accommodated with Quintin Hogg's Polytechnic in Regent Street (a forerunner of the University of Westminster).
During this period, Chelsea had the highest enrolment of fine art students in any school of its kind in the country, producing many notable artists such as Ossip Zadkine, Mark Gertler and Paul Nash.
He was responsible for the integration of history and theory with practice, employing artists rather than art historians to teach art history and theory.
A basic design course, pioneered by Victor Pasmore and Richard Hamilton, was also developed during the same period, becoming the basis of the college's current foundation course in art and design.
Professor William Callaway (Head of School from 1989 to 1992), Colin Cina (appointed Dean of School of Art), and Bridget Jackson (Dean of School of Design): These three reformed the school and ensured the redevelopment of the entire academic program, introducing courses at multiple levels from HND to accredited Honours and Postgraduate degrees.
Bridget Jackson was appointed Head of College in 1993, retiring in 1997 to be succeeded by Professor Colin Cina who led the college until his retirement in 2003.
The Chelsea School of Art became a constituent College of the London Institute in 1986, formed by the Inner London Education Authority to associate London's art, design, fashion and media schools into a collegiate structure.
He led the relocation to the listed Royal Army Medical College, renovated as a purpose-built art college by the architects Allies and Morrison in 2005.
With this move, the Chelsea College of Arts presently resides next to Tate Britain at Millbank, returning to one standalone campus.
Chelsea is a constituent college of the University of the Arts London, with Camberwell College of Arts, Central Saint Martins, London College of Communication, London College of Fashion and Wimbledon College of Art.
Chelsea and the London College of Fashion share the 'Creative Learning in Practice Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning' (CLIP CETL).
There are 183 universities and academies in total: 109 state universities (eight technical universities, one institutes of technology, and one fine arts university), 65 private foundation universities, six two-year granting institutions, one special national defense university, and one police academy.
One of the local historical places in Sion is a hilltop garden commonly known as Sion Fort or Sheevon Killa in the Marathi language.
In 1543, the Portuguese took possession of the largely uninhibited islands of Bombay, naming it Sião, after a biblical hill in Israel.
The Jesuits then built a chapel on the hill near the present-day railway station and named it after Mount Zion (Sion) in Jerusalem.
He next served in succession under Pichegru and Moreau, and distinguished himself during the skilful retreat of the latter from an untenable position in the heart of Swabia.
His fidelity and address while serving under Desaix, who was killed at Marengo, secured him the confidence of Napoleon Bonaparte, who appointed him to command the special body of gendarmes charged with the duty of guarding the First Consul.
He proceeded to the cliff of Biville in Normandy, where the plotters were in the habit of landing, and sought, by imitating the signals of the royalist plotters, to tempt the comte d'Artois (afterwards Charles X) to land.
Hulin, who presided at the court-martial, afterwards accused Savary, though not by name, of having intervened to prevent the dispatch to Bonaparte of an appeal for mercy which he (Hulin) was in the act of drawing up.
Shortly before the battle of Austerlitz (2 December 1805) he was sent by Napoleon with a message to the emperor Alexander I with a request for an armistice, a device which caused that monarch all the more eagerly to strike the blow which brought disaster to the Russians.
Early in the next year he received command of a corps, and with it gained an important success at Ostrolenka (16 February 1807).
After the treaty of Tilsit (7 July 1807) Savary proceeded to St Petersburg as the French ambassador, but was soon replaced by General Caulaincourt, another accessory to the execution of the duc d'Enghien.
The repugnance of the empress dowager to Savary is said to have been one of the reasons of his recall, but it is more probable that Napoleon felt the need of his gifts for intrigue in the Spanish affairs which he undertook at the close of 1807.
With the title of duke of Rovigo (a small town in Venetia), Savary set out for Madrid when Napoleon's plans for gaining the mastery of Spain were nearing completion.
Savary induced Ferdinand to cross the Pyrenees and proceed to Bayonne—a step which cost him his crown and his liberty until 1814.
There he showed his wonted skill and devotion to Napoleon; and this office, which the Jacobin Fouche had shorn of its terrors, now became a veritable inquisition.
Savary's wariness was, however, at fault at the time of the strange conspiracy of General Malet, two of whose confederates seized him in his bed and imprisoned him for a few hours (23 October 1812).
Napoleon awarded him the duché grand-fief (a rare, nominal but hereditary honor; extinguished in 1872) of Rovigo, in his own Kingdom of Italy.
Afterwards he travelled about in more or less distress, but finally was allowed to return to France and regained civic rights; later he settled at Rome.
The July Revolution (1830) brought him back into favour and in 1831 he received the command of the French army in Algeria.
He was responsible for the extermination of the local Al'Ouffia tribe and the death of several Arab leaders whom he lured into negotiations.
This class of submarines was developed at the Rubin Design Bureau in 1975 and is considered one of the most successful Soviet submarine missile carrier designs.
The RSM-54 missile (3M37, R-29RM, or SS-N-23 according to the NATO classification) is a liquid-propellant, three-stage missile with separable heads (it carries four or ten warheads depending on the modification).
The first and the last missiles hit their targets successfully, while the others were self-destroyed in the air according to the plan.
As the experiment took place just before the August Putsch in the USSR, its results were forgotten for a while, and the crew's work wasn't rewarded by the Soviet government authorities.
During the deployment the priest has performed the consecration ceremony of submarine's compartments, met with submarine personnel, led discussions on the basics of faith and spiritual life.
The submarine is currently part of the 31st Order of the Red Banner underwater strategic missile cruiser division of the 12th submarine squadron of the Northern Fleet (Olenya Bay, Skalisty Naval Base).
The Post Office opened on 1 May 1886 as Bloomfield Railway Station, was renamed Nilma in 1909 and closed in 1979.
The town in conjunction with neighbouring township Darnum has an Australian Rules football team competing in the Ellinbank & District Football League.
Prior to the war in Iraq, the President and his advisors repeatedly claimed that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction that jeopardized the security of the United States.
The failure to discover these weapons after the war has led to questions about whether the President and his advisors were candid in describing Iraq’s threat.
However, its content does not include specific reasons for the statements given nor any possible defense or justification in favor of the individuals in question.
The report along with the searchable database compiled by the Special Investigations Division are accessible via the web by Congress and the General Public.
The Guinea Pig Club, established in 1941, was a social club and mutual support network for British and allied aircrew injured during World War II.
Its membership was made up of patients of Archibald McIndoe at Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, Sussex, who had undergone experimental reconstructive plastic surgery, including facial reconstruction, generally after receiving burns injuries in aircraft.
The treatment of burns by surgery was in its infancy, and many casualties were suffering from injuries which, only a few years earlier, would have led to certain death.
The club was established informally in June 1941 with 39 patients, primarily as a drinking club, and rapidly won McIndoe's endorsement.
Most were British but other significant minorities included Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders and by the end of the war Americans, French, Russians, Czechs and Poles.
In 1943, a dedicated Canadian wing was built at the hospital, on the initiative of the Royal Canadian Air Force and at Canadian expense.
During the Battle of Britain, most of the patients at East Grinstead were fighter pilots, but by the end of the war around 80% of the members were from bomber crews of RAF Bomber Command.
A minority of members had suffered non-burns-related injuries (for example, maxillofacial damage incurred in crashes); while another small minority came from army or navy rather than air force backgrounds.
Before the war the RAF had made preparations by setting up burns units in several hospitals to treat the expected casualties.
At East Grinstead, McIndoe and his colleagues, including Albert Ross Tilley, developed and improved many techniques for treating and reconstructing burns victims.
They had to deal with very severe injuries: one man, Air Gunner Les Wilkins, lost his face and hands and McIndoe recreated his fingers by making incisions between his knuckles.
Aware that many patients would have to stay in hospital for several years and undergo many reconstructive operations, MacIndoe set out to make their lives relaxed and socially productive.
He gave much thought to the reintegration of patients into normal life after treatment, an aspect of care that had previously been neglected.
The Guinea Pig Club was part of these efforts to make life in hospital easier, and to rebuild patients psychologically in preparation for life outside.
There were even barrels of pale ale in the wards – partly in the interests of re-hydrating patients whose injuries had left them dangerously dehydrated, but also to encourage an informal and happy atmosphere.
Later, many of the men also served in other capacities in RAF operations control rooms, and occasionally as pilots between the surgeries.
Those unable to serve in any capacity received full pay until the last surgical operations and only then were invalided out of the service.
The club was not disbanded at the end of the war, but continued to meet for over sixty years, offering practical support and a sense of community to former patients.
McIndoe had been elected life president at the club's foundation: after his death in 1960, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, became president.
Geoffrey Page was the first chairman; and Tom Gleave served as the first and only Chief Guinea Pig until his death in 1993.
In 2001 (the 60th anniversary of the club's foundation) the members agreed to continue holding their annual reunions at East Grinstead until there were only 50 members left.
By 2004, there were 120 survivors; and by 2007 there were 97 (57 in Britain; 40 elsewhere in the world), their ages ranging from 82 to 102.
It attracted over 60 attendees, but in view of the survivors' age and frailty the decision was then taken to wind the club down.
Two artistic renditions were used: the first showed the guinea pig sitting upright and with his ears swept back, perhaps in imitation of a pilot at the controls of his aircraft; while the second showed a more naturalistic guinea pig on all fours.
The pub closed in 2008 and was demolished in 2009 to make way for a social housing development named Guinea Pig Place.
A bronze monument commemorating McIndoe, sculpted by Martin Jennings, whose own father was a Guinea Pig, was unveiled in East Grinstead High Street in 2014.
In November 2016, a monument honouring members of the club was unveiled by the Duke of Edinburgh, its president, at the National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire.
An exhibition in East Grinstead Museum honouring the members of the club was opened in December 2016 by Susan Piper, Lord Lieutenant of West Sussex, with four club members in attendance.
Bracken is a television drama serial broadcast from 1978 to 1982 on RTÉ One in Ireland, depicting rural life in and around County Wicklow.
In October 2003, Leon received a phone call from the band's manager, Laila Bagge, to whom she had sent an audition video in the past.
On 15 December 2003, an official press release announced that Janet had officially joined the group and production on the band's third studio album had begun.
That same year, she recorded a song for the American toy store brand Build-a-Bear Workshop and another song for Kohl's clothing brand everGirl.
The show documented her progress working on her debut album, promotional work across Sweden, and in one episode a meeting with Roger Moore in London.
Her eponymous debut album was released in Sweden on 18 February 2009 and spent three weeks on the charts in Sweden.
She competed in the fourth semi-final, on 22 February 2014 in Örnsköldsvik where she finished in 8th and last place and was knocked out from the competition.
University of East London (UEL) is a public university located in the London Borough of Newham, London, England, based at three campuses in Stratford and Docklands, following the opening of University Square Stratford in September 2013.
UEL can trace its roots back to 1892, when the newly formed County Borough of West Ham decided to establish a West Ham Technical Institute to serve the local community.
The college provided courses in science, engineering and art, and also established its own internal degree courses in science and engineering, which were ratified by the University of London.
As demand for technical education grew throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Essex County Council created two further colleges at Walthamstow and Dagenham.
In 1970 these three colleges (West Ham, Walthamstow, Dagenham) were combined as a merger of higher education colleges, to create the North East London Polytechnic.
In 1988 the North East London Polytechnic became a higher education institution, and was renamed the Polytechnic of East London in 1989.
UEL's succession of founding institutions exemplify the developments that took place in British further and higher education policy throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries.
In 2012, following previous opposition, UEL adopted the full increased tuition rates of £9,000 permitted by legislation enacted in 2010, an increase from the previous rate of £3,290.
The university is a lead academic sponsor of Hackney University Technical College which opened in 2012, one of the first university technical colleges in England.
Off campus, there are students registered on programmes with UK and non-UK academic partners, such as the Women's Institute of Management in Malaysia.
The campus is home to the Cass School of Education and Communities, the School of Health Sport and Bioscience and the School of Psychology.
The Docklands Campus, opened in 1999, is the largest of the three campuses, It is in the redeveloped Docklands area of east London, at the Royal Albert Dock, closed to commercial shipping since the 1980s and now largely used as a water sports centre and rowing course, for example for the London Regatta Centre.
The Cyprus station of the Docklands Light Railway is adjacent to the campus, and offers links to Canary Wharf and central London.
New student accommodation opened in 2008 and the campus now has 1,200 student rooms, together with shops, cafés and a restaurant, launderettes and an open-air fitness suite.
A third campus, University Square Stratford (USS – not to be confused with University Square at the Docklands Campus), opened for the 2013–14 academic year.
The School of Business and Law (RDBSL) is a combined school which offers undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD degree programmes, as well as non-degree executive education for individuals and companies.
Its programmes are recognised by professional bodies including the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, (ACCA), the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, (CIPD).
Knowledge Dock is accredited by the European Business Network as a Business Innovation Centre (BIC) and is the only BIC in London, and one of only 12 in the UK.
The School of Social Sciences offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses in disciplines including international development, politics and NGOs, sociology, psychosocial studies, social enterprise and innovation studies.
The Cass School of Education and Communities delivers teaching and supports research in comparative education, early childhood, diversity and language, multilingualism, professional education, race and community, social work, teacher education and technology-enhanced learning.
The School of Health, Sport and Bioscience supports research and delivers teaching in nursing, health studies, physiotherapy, microbiology, biomedical science, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, forensic science, sports science, conservation and ecology.
The School of Psychology delivers programmes such as BSc (Hons) Psychology, accredited by the British Psychological Society, and a qualification in counselling training, BSc (Hons) Counselling and Mentoring.
The School of Arts and Digital Industries delivers courses that cover fashion, film, design, fine art and media, digital arts and communications, games design and animation, music, theatre and dance, creative writing, cultural and heritage studies, journalism, advertising and performing arts.
UEL's campuses are in Newham, the host borough of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, close to two Olympic venues; the Olympic Park in Stratford and the Excel Centre in Docklands.
UEL has had Olympic and Paralympic projects including research, student involvement and sporting partnerships underway since it was announced that London's bid to host the Games was successful in 2005.
The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games(LOCOG) was a Games-time partner with UEL and students volunteered as Games-makers during the Games.
Michelle Obama addressed the Team USA athletes at the SportsDock facility on Friday, 27 July 2012, speaking of the pride and excitement that the Games bring to people.
UEL students volunteered with Team USA in a number of roles during the Olympic season, including writing for the team's Games-time publication.
In the seven years to 2012, UEL produced around 70 pieces of research work, including the Westfield Transport Observation, Newham Impact Evaluation and LOCOG Impact Evaluation.
It exists to represent UEL students in university decision-making, to act as the voice of students in the national higher education policy debate, and to provide direct services to the student body.
In 2011, UEL was named the most improved university for sport at the BUCS awards, having jumped 43 places in the league table.
The centre features a gym and fitness suite, two large indoor sports arenas, ten badminton courts, two competition basketball courts, volleyball and netball courts, cricket bays, two five-a-side football pitches, a sports café and covered seating for 400 people.
UEL and its predecessor institutions have a number of notable academic staff and alumni, including politicians, business people, authors, actors, musicians and sports people.
Pal Joey is a 1940 epistolary novel by John O'Hara, which became the basis of the 1940 stage musical comedy and 1957 motion picture of the same name, with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Lorenz Hart.
That is if I can call you friend after the last two weeks for it is a hard thing to do considering.
Well if it is on purpose all I have to say is maybe you are the one that will be the loser and not me as I was going to do certan things for you but now it does not look like I will be able to do them...
The three stories are connected only by the presence of a traveling cat, which plays an incidental role in the first two and is a major character of the third.
Clinic counselor Vinnie Donatti explains that the clinic has a 100% success rate due to a uniquely persuasive method: every time Dick smokes a cigarette, horrors of increasing magnitude will befall his wife and child.
Using the tomcat that Donatti's assistant Junk has caught in the street, Donatti demonstrates the first of these horrors: the tomcat is put in a cage and tormented with electric shocks in the floor.
Donatti explains that if his new client should be caught with a cigarette, Dick's wife Cindy will be subjected to the same shocks while he is forced to watch.
For subsequent infractions, his young daughter will be subjected to the shocks, then his wife raped, and after the fourth infraction, they give up.
He prepares to smoke one, but notices a pair of feet in his closet, realizing Quitters Inc. is serious about their threat to ensure that he is not smoking.
Donatti is also at the school, warning Dick that if he strays the only thing his daughter would understand is that someone is hurting her because her father misbehaved.
During a stressful traffic jam, Dick loses his willpower and smokes after finding an old forgotten pack of cigarettes in his glove box, not realizing he is being watched by Junk in a nearby car.
After watching Cindy suffer in the electric cage, an enraged Dick attacks Donatti and Junk, allowing the tomcat to escape in the scuffle.
Time passes, and Dick is apparently smoke-free at last, but has put on a little weight as a result of quitting.
Dick jokingly asks what will happen if he continues to gain weight, whether a man would attack his house with a flame thrower.
Donatti chuckles and says that is not what they have in mind; instead someone will cut off his wife's little finger.
Later Dick and his wife have a dinner party with the friends who recommended Quitters, Inc., and they toast the company for a job well done.
As she raises her glass, Dick discovers that Donatti was not joking around: his friend's wife is missing her little finger.
The tomcat who has escaped Quitters, Inc. leaves Manhattan via the Staten Island Ferry, briefly befriends a group of vagrants and travels to Atlantic City, New Jersey, where it hears the same disembodied girl's voice asking for his help.
Meanwhile, gambler and former tennis pro Johnny Norris is involved with a woman whose jealous husband, Cressner, is a crime boss and casino owner.
Cressner, who will bet on anything, wins a wager that the tomcat will successfully cross the busy road outside his casino.
As revenge, Cressner blackmails Norris into a dangerous ordeal: he must circumnavigate the narrow exterior ledge of Cressner's penthouse apartment in a skyscraper.
If Norris refuses, Cressner will call the police and have him arrested for possession of drugs, which have been planted in Norris' Mustang by a henchman named Albert.
Cressner harasses Norris by startling him with a horn and turning on a fire hose at the halfway point to keep Norris from lingering.
Cressner says he will honor his bet: his henchman has removed the drugs, and presents Norris with a bag of cash--however, he kicks over the bag to reveal his wife's severed head.
The tomcat hops a freight train and travels to Wilmington, North Carolina, where it is adopted by a little girl, Amanda (the girl who was asking for help twice earlier), who names him General.
As a consequence, he is unable to protect Amanda from a small, malevolent troll that he witnessed taking up residence in the house where the tomcat followed the troll earlier.
The parents are convinced that General killed Polly, but the father discovers a wound on the tomcat too large to have been caused by a parakeet.
When night falls, the troll returns and uses a small rubber doorstop to wedge the child's room door shut from the inside.
Meanwhile, at the animal shelter, as he is getting his final meal, General escapes and rushes back to Amanda's house, which he enters by way of the chimney.
General arrives just in the nick of time to save Amanda and again battles the troll, causing a great deal of noise.
Grabbing on to a bunch of foil balloons, the troll tries to float out of the furious tomcat's reach, landing on Amanda's record player.
The parents are at first unwilling to believe the story until parts of the troll's dismembered corpse are discovered, as well as the tiny dagger that had caused General's wound, including the hole that the troll had used.
Amanda uses the justification that General will keep her safe in case others like her first assailant appear, and General stays inside at night to act as a protector for Amanda.
Drew Barrymore was nominated for the Young Artist Award for Best Starring Performance by a Young Actress in a Motion Picture in 1986.
It was the first election held since two military coups in 1987 had severed Fiji's 113-year-old constitutional links with the British Monarchy, and later Fijian Monarchy, and ushered in a republic.
The 1992 elections were the first to be held under the new electoral system, which was deliberately biased in favour of ethnic Fijians.
National constituencies, elected by universal suffrage and comprising almost half of the House of Representatives under the 1970 constitution, were abolished, and for the first time, all members of the House of Representatives were elected from communal constituencies on closed electoral rolls, for registered members of a particular ethnic group.
37 seats were allocated to ethnic Fijians and only 27 to Indo-Fijians, despite the near-equality of their numbers in the population; one seat was reserved for a representative of the Rotuman Islanders, with five constituencies reserved for General electors (an omnibus category for various minorities including Europeans, Chinese, and Banaban Islanders).
The Soqosoqo ni Vakavulewa ni Taukei led by Sitiveni Rabuka, who had instigated the 1987 coups, won 30 of the 38 seats reserved for ethnic Fijians and Rotuman; the remaining five were won by the extremist Fijian Nationalist Party of Sakeasi Butadroka.
The 27 Indo-Fijian electorates were almost equally divided, with the National Federation Party winning 14 seats and the Fiji Labour Party 13.
The Syriac alphabet ( ) is a writing system primarily used to write the Syriac language since the 1st century AD.
It is one of the Semitic abjads descending from the Aramaic alphabet through the Palmyrene alphabet, and shares similarities with the Phoenician, Hebrew, Arabic and the traditional Mongolian scripts.
There is no letter case distinction between upper and lower case letters, though some letters change their form depending on their position within a word.
In addition to the sounds of the language, the letters of the Syriac alphabet can be used to represent numbers in a system similar to Hebrew and Greek numerals.
Several Christian Neo-Aramaic languages from Turoyo to the Northeastern Neo-Aramaic dialects of Assyrian and Chaldean, once vernaculars, primarily began to be written in the 19th century.
The variant specifically has recently been adapted to write Western Neo-Aramaic, traditionally written in a square Aramaic script closely related to the Hebrew alphabet.
In addition to Semitic languages, Sogdian was also written with Syriac script, as well as Malayalam, which form was called Suriyani Malayalam.
Although ʾEsṭrangēlā is no longer used as the main script for writing Syriac, it has received some revival since the 10th century.
It is often used in scholarly publications (such as the Leiden University version of the Peshitta), in titles, and in inscriptions.
In some older manuscripts and inscriptions, it is possible for any letter to join to the left, and older Aramaic letter forms (especially of and the lunate ) are found.
Vowel marks are usually not used with , being the oldest form of the script and arising before the development of specialized diacritics.
Whether because its distribution is mostly predictable (usually inside a syllable-initial two-consonant cluster) or because its pronunciation was lost, both the East and the West variants of the alphabet traditionally have no sign to represent the schwa.
When isolated, the letters , , and are usually shown with their initial form connected to their final form (see below).
The letters , , , , , , and (and, in early ʾEsṭrangēlā manuscripts, the letter ) do not connect to a following letter within a word; these are marked with an asterisk (*).
(), the first letter, represents a glottal stop, but it can also indicate a vowel, especially at the beginning or the end of a word.
The letters , , , , , and , all stop consonants ('hard') are able to be 'spirantized' (lenited) into fricative consonants ('soft').
The degree to which letters can be spirantized varies from dialect to dialect as some dialects have lost the ability for certain letters to be spirantized.
For native words, spirantization depends on the letter's position within a word or syllable, location relative to other consonants and vowels, gemination, etymology, and other factors.
Syriac uses two (usually) horizontal dots above a letter within a word, similar in appearance to diaeresis, called (, literally 'placings', also known in some grammars by the Hebrew name [], 'plural'), to indicate that the word is plural.
These dots, having no sound value in themselves, arose before both eastern and western vowel systems as it became necessary to mark plural forms of words, which are indistinguishable from their singular counterparts in regularly-inflected nouns.
For instance, the word (, 'king') is consonantally identical to its plural (, 'kings'); the above the word () clarifies its grammatical number and pronunciation.
There are no firm rules for which letter receives ; the writer has full discretion to place them over any letter.
Typically, if a word has at least one , then are placed over the that is nearest the end of a word (and also replace the single dot above it: ).
Other letters that often receive are low-rising letters—such as and —or letters that appear near the middle or end of a word.
The line can only occur above a letter , , , , , , , or (which comprise the mnemonic , 'the works of light').
In the 1930s, following the state policy for minority languages of the Soviet Union, a Latin alphabet for Syriac was developed with some material promulgated.
Although it did not supplant the Syriac script, the usage of the Latin script in the Syriac community has still become widespread because most of the Assyrian diaspora is in Europe and the Anglosphere, where the Latin alphabet is predominant.
The Syriac Abbreviation (a type of overline) can be represented with a special control character called the Syriac Abbreviation Mark (U+070F).
The university's range of subjects includes architecture, business, computing, mathematics, education, engineering, humanities, maritime studies, natural sciences, pharmacy and social sciences.
In 2012, the University of Greenwich was rated as the greenest in the UK by People & Planet Green League Table.
It was founded by Frank Didden, supported by and following the principles of Quintin Hogg, and opened to students in October 1891.
In 1894 it focused on an educational role, concentrating on higher technical education appropriate to its location close to Woolwich Dockyard and the Royal Arsenal, with its premises also used for day schools - the first Woolwich Polytechnic School was established in 1897.
In the following years, Dartford College (1976), Avery Hill College (1985), Garnett College (1987) and parts of Goldsmiths College and the City of London College (1988) were incorporated.
In 1992, Thames Polytechnic was granted university status by the Major government (together with various other polytechnics) and renamed University of Greenwich in 1993.
In 2001, the university gave up its historic main campus in the Bathway Quarter in Woolwich, relocating to its current main campus in Greenwich.
Facilities include computer laboratories, a library and a TV studio, as well as a sports and teaching centre with a sports hall and 220-seat lecture theatre.
Rugby, football, indoor pitches, netball and tennis courts, a dance studio and soon to be built astroturfs are on Avery Hill campus.
The magnificent Winter Garden, the centrepiece of the Mansion site, has been allowed to fall into neglect and is on Historic England's 'At Risk' Register.
A campaign to restore the Winter Garden is putting pressure on the University and Royal Greenwich Council to ensure its future.
Greenwich Campus is located mainly in the Old Royal Naval College, into which it moved in the 1990s when the premises were sold by the Royal Navy.
The campus has a large library at Stockwell Street which houses an extensive collection of books and journals, language labs and a 300-PC computing facility.
The Stephen Lawrence Gallery at the Stockwell Street building, showcases the work of contemporary artists and is linked to the Department for Creative Professions & Digital Arts.
The Faculty of Engineering and Science is based here, as is the Natural Resources Institute, a centre for research, consultancy and education in natural and human resources.
It is also the home of Medway School of Pharmacy, a joint school operated by the Universities of Greenwich and Kent.
The university is a member of Universities at Medway, a partnership of educational establishments at Chatham Maritime that is developing the area as a major higher education centre in the Medway region.
Significant areas of research and consultancy include landscape architecture, employment relations, fire safety, natural resources, social network analysis, education, training, educational leadership and public services.
In 2013, University of Greenwich was ranked 701 by QS World University Rankings The university is ranked 87 out of 116 institutions according to the Guardian University Guide 2015 University League Table.
Prominent alumni of the university and its predecessor organisations include Nobel Laureate Charles Kao, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2009 for his work on transmission of light in fibre optics, and Abiy Ahmed, who won the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize.
Edward Patrick Morris, 1st Baron Morris (May 8, 1859 – October 24, 1935) was a lawyer and Prime Minister of Newfoundland.
Born in St. John's, the son of Edward Morris and Catherine Fitzgerald, he was educated at Saint Bonaventure's College and the University of Ottawa, was admitted to the bar in 1885 and went into practice with his brother Francis.
Morris was a counsel for the British government during the North American fisheries arbitration in 1910 receiving a knighthood in 1904.
Morris served as governor of the Newfoundland Savings Bank from 1889 to 1913 and was elected to the Newfoundland House of Assembly in 1885 as an independent.
Morris formed an alliance with Bond to defeat the Tories and served as minister of justice from 1900 to 1907 in Bond's government.
He refused saying he could not because he could not elect a speaker, without losing a vote and thereby bringing down the government.
As a result of a wartime crisis over conscription, and the decline of his popularity due to accusations of wartime profiteering and conflict of interest, Morris decided that it was necessary to have a government that had support from all denominations and so he invited the opposition in the House of Assembly to join a National Government which was formed in 1917 to oversee the duration of the war.
In 1918, Morris was elevated to the peerage as the first Baron Morris, the only Newfoundland-born person to ever be so honoured.
A cat's eye or road stud is a retroreflective safety device used in road marking and was the first of a range of raised pavement markers.
The original form consisted of two pairs of reflective glass spheres set into a white rubber dome, mounted in a cast iron housing.
This is the kind that marks the centre of the road, with one pair of cat's eyes showing in each direction.
A key feature of the cat's eye is the flexible rubber dome which is occasionally deformed by the passage of traffic.
A fixed rubber wiper cleans the surface of the reflectors as they sink below the surface of the road (the base tends to hold water after a shower of rain, making this process even more efficient).
The rubber dome is protected from impact damage by metal 'kerbs' – which also give tactile and audible feedback for wandering drivers.
When the tram-lines were removed in the nearby suburb of Ambler Thorn, he realised that he had been using the polished strips of steel to navigate at night.
The reflective lens had been invented six years earlier for use in advertising signs by Richard Hollins Murray, an accountant from Herefordshire and, as Shaw acknowledged, they had contributed to his idea.
The blackouts of World War II (1939–1945) and the shuttered car headlights then in use demonstrated the value of Shaw's invention and helped popularise their mass use in the UK.
After the war, they received firm backing from a Ministry of Transport committee led by James Callaghan and Sir Arthur Young.
In 2006, Catseye was voted one of Britain's top 10 design icons in the Great British Design Quest organised by the BBC and the Design Museum, a list which included Concorde, Mini, Supermarine Spitfire, K2 telephone box, World Wide Web and the AEC Routemaster bus.
These are typically day glow green/yellow so they are easily visible in daylight as well as in darkness, they can then be used on their own for lane division.
Also seen during motorway repair work are plastic traffic pillars that are inserted into the socket of a retractable cat's eye rather than being free-standing.
These are often used in conjunction with two rows of the temporary cat's eyes to divide traffic moving in opposite directions during motorway roadworks.
Solar-powered cat's eyes known as solar road studs and showing a red or amber LED to traffic, have been introduced on roads regarded as particularly dangerous at locations throughout the world.
However, shortly after one such installation in Essex in the autumn of 2006 the BBC reported that the devices, which flash at an almost imperceptibly fast rate of 100 times a second, could possibly set off epileptic fits and the Highways Agency had suspended the programme.
The suspension appeared to have been lifted by 2015, when LED cat's eyes began to be installed along newly re-paved sections of the A1 and A1(M) in County Durham and Tyne and Wear.
Proposed enhancements in 2013 were to change the standard white light to amber for four seconds after the passing of a vehicle, or red if the following vehicle is too close or traffic ahead is stationary.
In Ireland yellow cat's eyes are used on all hard shoulders, including motorways (neither red nor blue cat's eyes are used).
There are limited installations of actively powered cats eyes, which flash white light, on particularly dangerous sections of road such as the single carriageway sections of the N11.
Botts' dots (research started 1953, compulsory in California from 1966) and other raised carriageway markers perform a similar function in areas of the United States that receive little snowfall.
In areas of the US receiving substantial accumulating snowfall that requires the use of snow removal equipment, recessed markers or those encased in protective metal are frequently used.
In New Zealand, roads are generally marked with both Bott's dots and cat's eyes (typically there is one cat's eye followed by three Bott's dots places in every ten-metre stretch of highway).
The colour pattern on New Zealand roads is white or yellow cat's eyes along the centre of the road (yellow indicating overtaking is not permitted) and red dots along the hard shoulder or left edge of a motorway.
Single blue cat's eyes are used to indicate the location of fire hydrants, and green cat's eyes are used to mark the edge of culverts.
In rural settings and along State Highways, these markings are augmented by retroreflective posts along the edge of the road (white reflectors on the left, yellow reflectors on the right).
Bridges are similarly marked with retroreflective markings in diagonal bands of white and black (to the left) and yellow and black (to the right).
By contrast to the UK where use of cat's eyes is widespread, in Continental Europe, cat's eyes are almost completely absent as a permanent fixture.
Road users, especially cyclists and motorcyclists, consider cat's eyes unnecessary as an additional lane or position marking identification and actually pose a threat to safety upon impact due to their prominent, slippery and unforgiving nature – particularly in the wet – and of their propensity to be located in close proximity to areas of increased hazard.
It is also suggested that the additional emphasis of an already brightly visible and reflective painted lane marking is simply not required for any potential road event or condition.
Many also consider that the absence of cat's eyes reduces the risk of physical and audible discomfort when driving, and that their benefits to safety are exaggerated.
On freeways and highways, every one (or sometimes two) white stripes separating lanes is followed by a white shining cat's eye.
Before speed bumps, a series of cat's eyes are placed shining white to the oncoming traffic and red to the car from the opposite direction.
On roads with traffic lights, a series of red shining cat's eyes are placed before traffic lights to make drivers slow down.
In the morning of 25 April 1999 on the M3 motorway in Hampshire, England, a van dislodged the steel body of a cat's eye which flew through the windscreen of a following car and hit a passenger (the drum and bass DJ known as Kemistry) in the face, killing her instantly.
He had key roles in planning the Vietnam War, serving as deputy to Paul Nitze under Kennedy and as Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific affairs under Johnson.
After leaving government service in 1969, Bundy served as a historian of foreign affairs, teaching at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and at Princeton University, from 1972 to his death.
His father, Harvey Hollister Bundy, served as an assistant secretary of state to Colonel Henry L. Stimson beginning in 1931, and later as his special assistant on atomic matters when Stimson was Secretary of War under President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
After attending Groton School and Yale University (where he was one of the first presidents of the Yale Political Union and a member of Skull and Bones), Bundy entered Harvard Law School.
In August 1943 he led the nine-man 6813th Signals Security Detachment to the UK secret code breaking 'Government Code and Cipher School' at Bletchley Park.
In the early 1950s, Bundy was recruited for the Central Intelligence Agency, serving as an analyst and as chief of staff for the Office of National Estimates.
In 1960, Bundy took a leave of absence from the CIA to serve as staff director for Eisenhower's Commission on National Goals.
During the Kennedy years, he was deputy to Assistant Secretary for International Security Affairs Paul Nitze and worked also for the Secretary of the Navy.
He continued to serve as an advisor on Vietnam following the election of President Richard M. Nixon, but resigned from government in 1969.
After being involved in intelligence and the Council on Foreign Relations, he served from 1961 to 1966 as the National Security Advisor to both the Kennedy and Johnson administrations.
On October 6, 2000, William Putnam Bundy died at his home in Princeton, New Jersey at the age of 83 from heart trouble.
It was the second volume-production implementation of the low-pressure sand-casting (or LPS) technique in a new plant sited between East Works and Cofton Hackett.
(The first volume application of the LPS process had been for the M-16 cylinder head, produced in South Works, adjacent to the former forge).
This reduced oxide inclusions and gave a casting yield of around 90%, compared with 60% for more conventional gravity casting processes.
The process avoided many of the inherent problems of casting aluminium components and consequently permitted lower casting wall thickness and higher strength-to-weight ratios.
The layout of the engine bay on some Rover cars fitted with K-series engines – particularly the MGF with its mid-engined layout – means that a commonly-occurring coolant leak under the inlet manifold can go undetected until severe damage has been done to the head.
The aluminium engine blocks were fitted with spun-cast iron cylinder liners that were initially manufactured by GKN's Sheepbridge Stokes of Chesterfield, but these were replaced by liners made by Goetze after some seminal research conducted by Charles Bernstein at Longbridge, which proved influential even to Ducati for their race engines.
Because Honda stopped providing Rover with engines after the end of their relationship, but well before the BMW takeover, an enlargement of the K Series design to 1.6 and 1.8 litres was carried out.
The four-cylinder engines were held together as a sandwich of components by long through-bolts which held the engine under compression, though this construction is not unknown, and was used in early lightweight fighter engines from the First World War.
The two types of head that were bolted to the common four-cylinder block were designated K8 (8 valves) and K16 (16 valves).
The VVC system constantly alters the inlet cam period, resulting in a remarkably flexible drive: the torque curve of a VVC K-series engine is virtually flat throughout the rev range and power climbs steadily with no fall-off whatsoever until the rev limiter kicks in at 7,200 rpm.
Following the collapse of MG Rover in 2005, the K Series engine started a new and rather interesting chapter in its history.
The Chinese automaker Nanjing Automobile (NAC) purchased the assets of MG Rover and in doing so acquired use of the Longbridge plant and the intellectual property rights and production tooling to many designs, including those of the K series engine.
With the help of Lotus Engineering, NAC went on to produce the N Series an improved version of the K Series with redesigned headgasket and oil rail built on the original tooling.
Whilst they had the necessary knowhow they didn't have any tooling so had to essentially reverse engineer their version of the engine.
The advantage of this was it allowed Ricardo 2010, the company tasked by SAIC to carry out development the opportunity to improve the engine in a number of areas.
The main area's of improvement included the head being redesigned to improve the waterways and structural rigidity and the block was also strengthened.
All new tooling was used in its production and the quality of materials and that of the aluminium casting process created a much more substantial update than that of the N Series.
This new engine would go on to power the Roewe 750, the Roewe 550 and later after the two firms NAC and SAIC merged, The MG 6.
Early K8 engines used a single SU KIF carburetor with a manual choke and a breaker-less distributor mounted on the end of the camshaft.
K16 models used MEMS, with a 1.6 ECU from 1990 until 1994 and a 1.9 ECU from 1995 onwards, in either Single Point or Multi Point forms, with a single coil on the back of the engine block and a distributor cap and rotor arm on the end of the inlet camshaft.
MEMS 2J was used on the VVC engine, to control the Variable Valve Control and the Distributorless Ignition System, which was used because there were camshaft drive belts at both ends of the engine.
With the launch of the Rover 25 and Rover 45 in 1999, MEMS 3 was introduced, with twin coils and sequential injection.
The K16 variant is exactly the same as the version, apart from a restrictive throttle body designed to lower the car's insurance group.
Kavachi engine is an extensively improved version of the Rover K series, using a different turbo and gearbox, improved head gasket and strengthened block.
UK engineering firm Ricardo plc, expert in race engine designs, was commissioned to not only redesign the engine but also the manufacturing process to produce what is now a very reliable engine.
Though some pitchers have won more games in some seasons prior to 1901, historians demarcating 1901 as the beginning of 'modern-era' major league baseball refer to and credit Jack Chesbro and his 1904 win-total as the modern era major league record and its holder.
Chesbro's 1904 pitching totals of 51 games started and 48 complete games also fall into the same historical category as his 1904 wins total, as they are all-time American League single-season records.
These 1904 single-season totals for games started and complete games, like the wins total, are also the most recorded by a pitcher in either the American or National League since the beginning of the twentieth century and the co-existence of the American and National Leagues as major leagues.
If one demarcates 1901 as the beginning of major league baseball's modern era, Jack Chesbro holds the modern era major league historical single-season records for wins by a pitcher (41), games started by a pitcher (51), and complete games pitched (48).
Chesbro was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1946 by the Veterans Committee, though he had received little consideration from the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA).
Some baseball historians consider the 1946 election a mistake, and believe that Chesbro was elected solely on the basis of his 1904 season.
He worked in 1894 as an attendant at the Middletown State Homeopathic Hospital in Middletown, New York in order to play for the Asylums, the team representing the mental hospital.
That year, he pitched for the Albany Senators of the New York State League until they folded, at which point he joined the Johnstown Buckskins.
However, Hanlon took a job with the Brooklyn Superbas and the Orioles were nearly contracted, resulting in Chesbro not signing with Baltimore, as Hanlon allowed the option to lapse.
After the season, on December 8, 1899, Chesbro was traded with George Fox, Art Madison, John O'Brien, and $25,000 ($ in current dollar terms) to the Louisville Colonels for Honus Wagner, Fred Clarke, Bert Cunningham, Mike Kelley, Tacks Latimer, Tommy Leach, Tom Messitt, Deacon Phillippe, Claude Ritchey, Rube Waddell, Jack Wadsworth, and Chief Zimmer.
The Louisville club dissolved that offseason, and Chesbro, Fox, Madison and O'Brien were assigned to Pittsburgh in March as the National League (NL) reduced from 12 to eight teams.
After going 15–13 for the 1900 Pirates, Chesbro won 21 games for the 1901 Pirates, while leading the NL with six shutouts.
He went 28–6 with a 2.17 earned run average (ERA) for the 1902 Pirates, leading the NL in wins and shutouts.
At the end of the 1902 season, the upstart American League (AL) began to entice NL stars to join their league by offering competitive salaries.
Chesbro agreed to sign with a new AL franchise, the New York Highlanders (presently known as the New York Yankees), for the 1903 season, for a $1,000 bonus ($ in current dollar terms) to join the AL.
The news broke when Jesse Tannehill, who also agreed to join the Highlanders, told Pirates owner Barney Dreyfuss about the planned defection while under the influence of pain medication.
That year, he started 51 games and finished 48 while posting a 1.82 ERA, striking out 239 batters, and recording 41 wins and 48 complete games over innings pitched, setting MLB records for wins, complete games, and innings pitched in a season.
Chesbro won 14 straight games from May 14 through July 4, a New York franchise record that stood until Roger Clemens broke it in 2001.
On the last day of the season, in a game against the Boston Americans (now known as the Boston Red Sox), he threw a wild pitch in the top of the ninth inning, allowing the winning run to score from third base and causing the Highlanders to lose the pennant to Boston.
Even after Chesbro's death in 1931, his widow, with the support of former Highlanders manager Clark Griffith, continued to claim that the pitch was a passed ball, and blamed the winning run on catcher Red Kleinow.
At third base, Chesbro mistakenly thought he had received a steal sign from manager Clark Griffith, while Willie Keeler bunted for a hit.
Chesbro announced he would work on keeping his weight down prior to the 1907 season, but announced his intentions to retire in February 1907.
Prior to the 1909 season, Chesbro was assigned to the Indianapolis Indians of the American Association, a minor league affiliate of the Highlanders.
Chesbro made nine appearances for the Highlanders in 1909, before he was waived and claimed by the Boston Red Sox in September 1909.
The Red Sox returned Chesbro to the Highlanders prior to the 1910 season, but he was placed on the ineligible list after he refused to report to the minor leagues.
Chesbro returned to Massachusetts during the 1910 Major League Baseball season, where he worked on a farm in Conway, Massachusetts that he purchased a decade prior.
Chesbro coached for Massachusetts Agricultural College (presently known as the University of Massachusetts Amherst) in 1911 and continued to pitch for semipro clubs in Massachusetts.
Chesbro decided to travel to Hot Springs, Arkansas, where teams participated in spring training, in an attempt to find a team willing to give him a chance at a comeback.
Chesbro was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1946 balloting by the Veterans Committee, which considers individuals who are eligible for the Hall of Fame, but no longer eligible to be elected by the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA).
That year, the Veterans Committee elected eleven players: Chesbro, Jesse Burkett, Frank Chance, Johnny Evers, Clark Griffith, Tommy McCarthy, Joe McGinnity, Eddie Plank, Joe Tinker, Rube Waddell, and Ed Walsh.
During years where Chesbro was eligible on the BBWAA ballot, Chesbro received zero votes in the 1936 balloting, one vote in the 1937 balloting, two votes in the 1938 balloting, and six votes in the 1939 balloting, zero votes in the 1942 balloting, and zero votes in the 1945 balloting.
Chesbro's 1904 record for games won in a season (41 wins) has stood for over a century—one of the oldest major records in baseball, or in any other sport.
Today, it is uncommon for a pitcher to start even 35 games in a season and complete games are a rarity.
The only other 40-win season since 1900 was 40 by Ed Walsh in 1908, and only three other pitchers in the modern era have won as many as 35--Christy Mathewson (37 in 1908), Walter Johnson (36 in 1913) and Joe McGinnity (35 in 1904).
Since the pitcher's mound was lowered to its current height of 10 inches in 1969, no pitcher has won more than 27 games in a season.
In particular, James compared Chesbro's statistics to those of former Pittsburgh Pirate teammates Deacon Phillippe (189–109, 2.59), Sam Leever (194–100, 2.47), and Jesse Tannehill (197–117, 2.80), none of whom are in the Hall of Fame.
James claimed that Chesbro was inducted into the Hall of Fame solely on the basis of his 1904 season, even though other pitchers who did not make the Hall of Fame have similar career statistics.
After his retirement, Chesbro farmed and raised poultry in Conway, where he died on November 6, 1931 of a myocardial infarction; he was buried at Howland Cemetery in Conway.
RTV B92, or simply B92, is a Serbian news station and television and radio broadcaster with national coverage headquartered in Belgrade, Serbia.
Founded in 1989 as radio station, it was a rare outlet for Western news and information in FR Yugoslavia under Slobodan Milošević, and was a force behind many demonstrations that took place in Belgrade during the turbulent 1990s.
Due to this, RTV B92 won the MTV Free Your Mind award in 1998, and many other awards for journalism and fighting for human rights.
On 6 October 2000, the day following the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević, RTV B92 started a Serbian commercial TV station called TV B92.
The most prominent person in RTV B92 history is Veran Matić, who is one of the founders and CEO from B92's establishment in 1989 until 2019.
The radio station originally went on the air in 1989 with financial help from the Open Society Foundations and the USAID, though it was shut down by authorities a few times in its early years.
It was forced off the air for a time in 1999 when NATO bombed Yugoslavia, and government agents cracked down on pro-Western reporting.
In a dawn raid in May 2000 government troops seized everything but Internet broadcasting from secret studios continued until after the ousting of Milošević in October 2000, when the two stations were unified.
During the Yugoslav Wars in the 1990s, RTV B92 was one of the very few sources for news not controlled by the government.
The radio station at its peak had around 400,000 daily listeners which made up 35% of all radio listeners with almost 80 stations competing for airtime.
Among the people who lost their job on that occasion were all employees in the news and music section—sections that made Radio B92's trademark.
On that same day all radio shows were cancelled, leaving only the radio broadcasting music and two remaining employees responsible for that.
On 6 October 2000, TV B92 began broadcasting as a local TV station reaching Belgrade's greater municipal area and parts of Vojvodina.
On 11 October 2004, TV B92's news program Vesti B92 introduced the ticker, which was replaced by flipper on 19 March 2012.
In April 2006, TV B92 was officially given a national commercial broadcasting license along with TV Pink, Fox Televizija, TV Avala and TV Košava.
Operacija Trijumf (Star Academy) was the biggest musical reality show in the Balkans and it was shown on television in Montenegro (IN TV) Croatia (Nova TV) Slovenia, Macedonia and Bosnia.
On 7 April 2008, B92 Info was a news broadcasting channel launched by TV B92, as a Serbian version of CNN.
All of TV B92's most popular news-related shows, including Poligraf, B92 Investigates, Insajder, Kažiprst, Dizanje, and sports programs, were broadcast on the channel.
Because of that, TV B92 became surprised and made a speculation talking about the crystal-kryptonite at Knez Mihailova Street in Belgrade.
From 19 April 2011 to 20 April 2011, TV B92 started to air some promos with this crystal-kryptonite and were advertising something, but during its news program Vesti B92 on 20 April 2011 at 11 pm, it was known that TV B92 is going to be rebranded on 21 April 2011.
In addition to news and series, TV B92 introduced more sports programming and was broadcasting many tennis events featuring Serbian players (Grand Slam tournaments, ATP Masters 1000 series, ATP World Tour Finals), football (UEFA Europa League, La Liga) and basketball (Liga ABA).
This purple cube had first arrived in Belgrade on 16 March 2012 when TV B92 made a discussion about the purple cube at Knez Mihailova Street in Belgrade.
From 17 March 2012 to 18 March 2012, TV B92 began to air some promos with the purple cube and was advertising something.
Later, Vesti B92 announced on 18 March 2012 at 11 pm, that TV B92 would implement a new logo and renewed on-air look on 19 March 2012.
The purple cube was the last logo to carry TV B92's franchise and it was used for 5 years from 19 March 2012 to 10 September 2017.
Many public figures and media organizations protested stating that the removal of talk show was politically motivated by the ruling leader Aleksandar Vučić.
Three months later, talk show author Olja Bećković confirmed those claims and accused Vučić as a man behind the removal of the talk show.
The planned channel OTV was said to be an entertainment-oriented TV station, but the logo of the newly tentative station OTV was unknown at the time.
At the time, Greek media company ANT1 Group was also majority shareholder of Prva Srpska Televizija in Serbia, TV station with national coverage.
The transaction between state-owned Telekom Srbija and Kopernikus made public outrage in Serbia as Kopenikus' market worth at the time of purchase was several times lower than the amount it was purchased for; it was also revealed that major stakeholder in company was a close relative to ruling Serbian Progressive Party officer.
At the beginning of 1996, OpenNet became Yugoslavia’s first Internet provider, using an analogue leased line from XS4ALL and six local dial-up lines.
OpenNet also supported the local network of Radio B92, ANEM Radio and ANEM Television by providing non-stop live Internet broadcast of programs of Radio B92 and TV B92, together with the distribution of audio and video materials among the ANEM radio and television stations.
During the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, when government representatives raided the Radio B92 premises and disabled its transmitter, OpenNet continued to broadcast the radio program over the Internet.
At its peak, the average number of page views per day exceeded 1 million, while the daily average number of visitors peaked at 200,000.
Some of the notable Serbian acts B92 helped launch include: Eyesburn, Darkwood Dub, Kanda, Kodža i Nebojša, Intruder, Vrooom, Kal etc.
B92's book publishing arm is Samizdat B92 featuring prominent young authors such as Marko Vidojković and Srđan Valjarević, as well as a number of foreign authors.
Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, also known as Pentagon City Mall, is a shopping mall in Pentagon City neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia near Interstate 395 and Hayes Street.
Its Metro level is directly connected to the Pentagon City station on the Blue and Yellow Lines of the Washington Metro.
A portion of Fashion Centre is at the lower levels of Washington Tower office building, the former home of MCI's Consumer Markets headquarters.
It was built by Melvin Simon & Associates, which sold the bulk of its interest in 1991 to a series of institutional investors, while retaining a quarter interest and management of the center.
Simon Property Group, the successor to the Simon shopping mall interests, raised its stake and now jointly owns the center with CalPERS.
Sixteen Mile Creek (also known as Sixteenmile Creek), a tributary of the Missouri River, is long, in western Montana in the United States.
It flows generally west, south of the Big Belt Mountains, and southwest, past Maudlow and joins the Missouri 6 mi (9 km) southeast of Toston, at the site of the ghost town of Lombard.
Telugu script (), an abugida from the Brahmic family of scripts, is used to write the Telugu language, a Dravidian language spoken in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana as well as several other neighbouring states.
It shares extensive similarities with the Kannada script, as it has evolved from Kadamba and Bhattiprolu scripts of the Brahmi family.
In 2008, Telugu language is given the status of Classical Languages of India, this status owes to its rich history and heritage.
The Brahmi script used by Mauryan kings eventually reached the Krishna River delta and would give rise to the Bhattiprolu script found on an urn purported to contain Lord Buddha's relics.
Buddhism spread to East Asia from the nearby ports of Ghantasala and Masulipatnam (ancient Maisolos of Ptolemy and Masalia of Periplus).
Telugu uses eighteen vowels, each of which has both an independent form and a diacritic form used with consonants to create syllables.
The independent form is used when the vowel occurs at the beginning of a word or syllable, or is a complete syllable in itself (example: a, u, o).
The diacritic form is added to consonants (represented by the dotted circle) to form a consonant-vowel syllable (example: ka, kru, mo).
The Telugu script has generally regular conjuncts, with trailing consonants taking a subjoined form, often losing the tallakattu (the v-shaped headstroke).
In contrast to a syllabic script such as katakana, where one Unicode code point represents the glyph for one syllable, Telugu combines multiple code points to generate the glyph for one syllable, using complex font rendering rules.
On February 12, 2018 a bug in the iOS operating system was reported that caused iOS devices to crash if a particular Telugu character was displayed.
An incorrect handling of the Zero-Width Non-Joiner separator while combining the characters seems to be the cause of the Telugu bug.
It chronicles the daily lives of an ensemble cast of suburban anthropomorphic animals: Pig, Rat, Zebra, Goat, and a fraternity of crocodiles, as well as a number of supporting characters.
The strip's style is most notable for its black comedy, simplistic artwork, self-deprecating fourth wall meta-humor, social commentary, mockery of other comic strips, and stories concocted in elaborate fashion leading into a pun.
However, Amy Lago, an editor at United Media, saw the strip's potential and launched it on the United Media website in November 2000, to see what kind of response it would generate.
Rat is a megalomaniacal, misanthropic rat, who is frequently critical of the strip's style and artwork, as well as the other characters in his and other strips, real life people, and almost all living (and often nonliving) things.
He believes himself to be much more intelligent than he actually is, and thinks more or less anybody else is stupid (one strip indicates that he sees Leonardo da Vinci as the only person in history worthy of his respect).
On one occasion, the diner that most of the characters frequent changed the color of their stools, which upset him as he claimed he did not like change.
He has little patience for others, and is constantly dreaming up schemes that invariably would keep him away from anyone and everyone else, which inevitably backfire.
Rat is also a con artist, as he is often taking up professions he knows almost nothing about and charging people a lot of money, often insulting or confusing his customers, co-workers and boss in the process.
He is often self-employed, using his jobs to trick vain, unintelligent people into either giving him money or making them do things for him.
In one instance, he even started a big controversy over a bogus weight-loss scheme he created, involving the starvation of obese people, that wound up on the Senate floor.
At times, other companies make the mistake of hiring him, in which case Rat is usually rude to his customers and employers.
Much about his family is unknown, but he did telephone his mother in one strip, and we know that his father was killed by a circus clown for an unknown reason.
Despite the partial success of many of his get-rich-quick schemes, he constantly claims to be poor, although it is quite possible that he always squanders or otherwise loses the money.
Despite this, he has enough money to get by in life (although it is possible his housemate, Pig, chips in to help him), and he often does things that would require large amounts of money, such as purchasing nuclear missiles from Russia.
While Rat is often cold-hearted or mean to his housemate Pig, he has been shown to be kind at times, saying nice things to him (although quickly covering it up with his usual attitude).
It has also been revealed that Rat has a soft spot for Pig's sister, Farina, a germaphobe who lives in an air-filtered bubble.
He is also quite materialistic in his likes; he has said that the American Dream is to have a video store on every block, enjoys pornography and slasher films, and his philosophies tend to say that we're all doomed and that there is no moral law.
Unfortunately, most of the new writers follow in the footsteps of the very comics Rat states as the root of the problem, so the funnies are trapped in a vicious cycle.
In 2003, he ran for City Council against a deceased opponent, faking his own death to even up the polls, and, after that plan backfired, advocating the invasion and occupation of Mexico.
In 2004, he ran for president as an Independent (joining the race 10 days prior to the election after being incorrectly informed by Pig that it was in six months).
In 2006, he ran for mayor against Jojo the Crocodile in an election that was moot as Guard Duck staged an election day coup d'état.
This failed, as the two landed in Jamaica and were arrested for shooting a police officer, though the Guard Duck claimed that he had shot the sheriff but had not shot a police officer.
In 2016, Rat launched a new campaign for the presidency, with a platform stating that he is just as corrupt as his opponents, the difference being that he is open about said corruption.
The first of these occasions, occurring in 2002, saw Rat ascend to Heaven, only to be turned away by St. Peter, after being hit by a car (while he was comatose in a hospital).
Rat's first official death came in 2005 when, after being encouraged to smile more, his body exploded from the stress (although he'd return one week later).
His second official death came in July 2008 as he suffered a heart attack from overstimulation related to the death of Stephan Pastis in the strip one day before, but both he and Pastis were returned to Earth later that week at the intervention of United Feature Syndicate.
Stephan Pastis, the strip's author and formerly a lawyer, started drawing Rat in law school, often killing him off for the sake of humor.
He would often doodle Rat in classes while bored, and in his early stages Rat was more of a depressed, philosophical character as opposed to the cynical egomaniac he is today.
For those times when Gus is not around, Rat talks with Jingles, a stuffed, court jester doll that lives on a shelf in the boy's room.
As well as somehow being friends with Rat (despite Rat's constant abuse), he also frequently is seen talking with Zebra and Goat.
He has also been known to use such terms literally in a context where he is misunderstood, often getting beaten up by someone who he does not realized he has offended.
Pig, when on a date, is most likely seen with Pigita, but earlier in the strip, he can be seen with other pigs.
He also appears to know more about the people in the neighborhood than Rat does, for example when Rat bragged about knowing things about strangers and celebrities but couldn't identify the man who walked past, Pig identified him as Bob, their next-door neighbor for the last eleven years.
He frequently writes letters to well-known real-life people, usually foreign authority figures at odds with the United States like Fidel Castro or Kim Jong-Ill concerning rather unimportant things like image; while Rat constantly berates him for doing this, the people they are sent to have been shown to care about what he says, occasionally crying when he criticizes them.
Not much is known about Pig's family, although Pig writes letters to his mother occasionally, and she writes back with indifference, if not rudeness, to him.
Pig was born in a liter of seven piglets, one of whom is his sister Farina who had a brief relationship with Rat.
However, Officer Potus unwittingly crushed her to death while helping Zebra shut down Rat's restaurant McZeeba's for serving zebra meat, thus rendering him a widower.
In this strip, Pastis based the story on a lawyer named Bob Grossman who screwed up a lawsuit brought by a sausage company and was forced to work at the farm the sausage company owned until he made up the difference.
Zebra is a supportive and caring zebra, who is often seen either writing to his predators or talking about recent deaths.
He is seen mainly around Pig or Rat, but also occasionally hangs out with Goat, being one of the comic's few characters Goat is able to stand for any particular length of time.
He lives next door to the Fraternity of Crocodiles, much to his dismay, as they are constantly trying (and failing) to eat him.
Before these predators moved next door to Zebra, he often tried to reason with them by mailing them letters either encouraging them to give up their predatory lifestyles or berating them on the immorality of their actions.
The lions, on the other hand, would usually give terse and stupid responses, sometimes taking the advice the wrong way and eating a Zebra.
Not much is known about the surviving members of his family except for their names, with those usually being a relative of Pastis.
The Olympics failed, as the Crocs kept eating the Zebras and the Greeks were more interested in smoking cigarettes and drinking soda pop then building the stadiums, a reference to real-life construction delays that took place prior to the games (Stephan Pastis is himself Greek and references this frequently in his books).
His debut saw him trying to sell cookies to Rat and Pig to raise money to help save his herd, but Rat declined because of not wanting to mess with natural selection.
Like Pig, he is well-meaning and tries to be kind; like Rat he is arrogant and easily irritated, which is often his stumbling block when dealing with characters other than Zebra.
Goat has a particular dislike for and rivalry with Rat, whom he criticizes on a regular basis for his ego as well as his writings.
Rat in turn makes fun of Goat for having a blog that no one reads and (on at least one occasion) ruins a date for Goat by hanging around him and annoying him.
As with most of other animal characters in the strip, Goat is only referred to by the noun as a name.
He was originally supposed to be a bear, but after the syndicates rejected the idea Pastis reworked the character into a goat.
(Debuted March 14, 2005) The Guard Duck is a violent duck, hired by Pig because the cost of a proper guard-dog was too high.
The neighbor would then laugh at the idea of a duck being a guard animal, and the strip would finish with Guard Duck responding with violence.
He also served as mayor of Albany, California, obtaining the position after overthrowing the incumbent in a coup d'état, until he was caught using the city police force to bug the offices of political opponents and forced to resign in disgrace.
Guard Duck fell in love with a non-anthropomorphic duck named Maura, who flew away from him and failed to return for over a year.
Guard Duck thought he'd lost her forever, because of his being unable to fly (having never learned how), but one day she returned to him.
In a recent series of strips, Guard Duck was seen training gophers to use grenades which causes problems in the neighborhood.
The Fraternity of Crocodiles are the main antagonists and villains of the strip, and while they are indeed on very poor terms with all five main characters (with the possible exception of Rat), they are usually involved in various attempts to kill and eat Zebra, all of which fail.
They also speak in an unusual font: their dialogue is shown in crude, lower-cased letters (sometimes shown in capitals when they yell, scream or talk loudly) which is also used for the lions, toy Vikings and the killer whale, although they spoke normally.
The crocs usually need to go to the Safeway supermarket or order fast food (one ordered pizza every night for seven straight weeks; at least one croc has resorted to cannibalism) to get food.
They often come up with harebrained plans to lure Zebra into their house, including toga parties, swimming, and attempts to get into his house (one croc posed as a cable guy).
A recurring gag is the crocs' tendency to die, usually due to their own ineptitude; they have been shot, blown up, choked, eaten, stabbed with a speargun, drowned, covered in cement, suffocated, nuked, shredded, had a heart attack, wood chippered, hung, and killed in some way by other characters; often, it is a result of their own attempts to kill Zebra.
Regarding how they always come back, it is unclear if they are many crocs with the same names, or come back to life a la Kenny McCormick.
While Pastis had depicted various crocodiles in the strip as early as February 2002, these crocs were relatively competent and spoke normal English in a normal typeface.
Larry (born February 9, 1969), his beehive-sporting wife Patty, and son Junior, are the most-frequently-depicted family of crocodiles in the strip.
The family house neighbors that of Zebra, and, although Zebra's home is also neighbored, on another side, by the Zeeba Zeeba Eata house, they have little relation to the fraternity.
His vocabulary and the fact that he has entered a romantic relationship indicates that he would be at least a pre-teen.
However, he also likes it when Larry reads him nursery rhymes and Sesame Street before bedtime, a characteristic that is identified with younger kids.
Despite the seemingly large number of Crocodiles, most of the males (who are in turn most of the crocodiles) have virtually the same mindset; rude, smug, disloyal, but above all, incompetent.
The reason may be that the predator community appears to view buying your own food (something that one would naturally be forced to do if unable to capture anything) as a wimpy thing.
Having decided that it is wrong to kill others, he is a vegetarian, much to the exasperation and shame of Larry.
In every story, Angry Bob becomes frustrated with his life, usually stating that he is either angry or sad, or both.
During the course of the story Bob will decide to try to do something about it, and more often than not succeeds.
However, as is the case in nearly every Angry Bob story, something goes wrong and Bob meets a horrible and gruesome death or failure at the end, often shot or crushed.
(debut: June 1, 2003) — Pastis appears self-reflexively in many strips as the cartoonist of the strip, usually exhibiting ambiguous feelings toward his characters (and an exasperation with Rat in particular, who gives it back to Pastis in return especially when things don't go his way).
He is often seen smoking and drinking beer, although Pastis has mentioned in his books that he does not smoke (but he does drink a lot of beer) and has no idea why he drew himself that way to begin with (though Rat and Guard Duck are often featured smoking as well).
That Wednesday (July 9), Pastis was found dead in the cartoon, but he and Rat (who died of a heart attack due to excitement from finding out) were sent back to the strip days later.
Pastis is occasionally seen commenting about anger-inducing strips (like a strip where Rat claims that he tries to run cyclists off the road) in the cartoon.
Pastis is shown to be a character more than just in the breaking the fourth wall strips, he also appears occasionally at the diner frequented by many of the members of the cast, and has interacted with several characters who don't appear to be aware they are in a comic, such as Neighbor Bob.
Pastis will often employ a shaggy dog story, using a great amount of dialogue to spin an elaborate premise often resolved with a character's unforeseen death or near death.
A variation known as a feghoot builds to an intentionally bad pun in the penultimate panel, with the final panel showing the cartoon version of Pastis as the target of criticism, hostility, or even physical violence from the characters, usually Rat.
Cholecystokinin, officially called pancreozymin, is synthesized and secreted by enteroendocrine cells in the duodenum, the first segment of the small intestine.
Its presence causes the release of digestive enzymes and bile from the pancreas and gallbladder, respectively, and also acts as a hunger suppressant.
It is a member of the gastrin/cholecystokinin family of peptide hormones and is very similar in structure to gastrin, another gastrointestinal hormone.
Thus, the CCK peptide hormone exists in several forms, each identified by the number of amino acids it contains, e.g., CCK58, CCK33, CCK22 and CCK8.
CCK plays important physiological roles both as a neuropeptide in the central nervous system and as a peptide hormone in the gut.
CCK is synthesized and released by enteroendocrine cells in the mucosal lining of the small intestine (mostly in the duodenum and jejunum), called I cells, neurons of the enteric nervous system, and neurons in the brain.
The greatest stimulator of CCK release is the presence of fatty acids and/or certain amino acids in the chyme entering the duodenum.
In addition, release of CCK is stimulated by monitor peptide (released by pancreatic acinar cells), CCK-releasing protein (via paracrine signalling mediated by enterocytes in the gastric and intestinal mucosa), and acetylcholine (released by the parasympathetic nerve fibers of the vagus nerve).
Thus, as the levels of the substances that stimulated the release of CCK drop, the concentration of the hormone drops as well.
Trypsin, a protease released by pancreatic acinar cells, hydrolyzes CCK-releasing peptide and monitor peptide, in effect turning off the additional signals to secrete CCK.
CCK also causes the increased production of hepatic bile, and stimulates the contraction of the gall bladder and the relaxation of the sphincter of Oddi (Glisson's sphincter), resulting in the delivery of bile into the duodenal part of the small intestine.
For example, in rats, CCK administration significantly reduces hunger in adult males, but is slightly less effective in younger subjects, and even slightly less effective in females.
The site of the anxiety-inducing effects of CCK seems to be central with specific targets being the basolateral amygdala, hippocampus, hypothalamus, peraqueductal grey, and cortical regions.
The CCK tetrapeptide fragment CCK-4 (Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH) reliably causes anxiety and panic attacks (panicogenic effect) when administered to humans and is commonly used in scientific research for this purpose of in order to test new anxiolytic drugs.
Positron emission tomography visualization of regional cerebral blood flow in patients undergoing CCK-4 induced panic attacks show changes in the anterior cingulate gyrus, the claustrum-insular-amygdala region, and cerebellar vermis.
CCK has been shown to interact with the Cholecystokinin A receptor located mainly on pancreatic acinar cells and Cholecystokinin B receptor mostly in the brain and stomach.
CCK in the body cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, but certain parts of the hypothalamus and brainstem are not protected by the barrier.
Belt Creek is a tributary, approximately 80 mi (129 km) long, of the Missouri River in western Montana in the United States.
It originates in the Lewis and Clark National Forest north of Big Baldy Mountain, in the Little Belt Mountains in western Judith Basin County.
It flows northwest through mountainous canyons (Limestone Canyon) past Monarch, through the Sluice Box Park, and flows through Armington and Belt.
A shoulder, or hard shoulder is an emergency stopping lane by the verge of a road or motorway, on the right in countries which drive on the right, or on the left side in India, Japan, the UK, Australia, and other left-side driving countries.
Many wider US and Swedish freeways have shoulders on both sides of each directional carriageway, in the median as well as at the outer edges of the road, for additional safety.
The purpose of building a shoulder is that in the event of an emergency or breakdown, a motorist can pull into the shoulder to get out of the flow of traffic and obtain a greater degree of safety.
In some cases, particularly on older rural roadways, shoulders that initially existed were hardened with gravel rather than being paved with asphalt or concrete.
Because the paved surface ends at that point, they are less safe if they need to be used for emergency maneuvers.
Notably, the section of Ontario Highway 401 between Windsor and London had soft shoulders with a sharp slope which was blamed for facilitating vehicle rollovers, if drivers accidentally drifted off the paved section of the road and then overreacted after hitting the gravel.
To save money, the shoulder was often not paved to the same thickness as the through lanes, so if vehicles were to attempt to use it as a through lane regularly, it would rapidly deteriorate.
However, it is extremely unsafe, and in most jurisdictions illegal, to abuse the shoulder by 'undertaking' passing vehicles that are nearer the center of the road.
On older roads, the shoulder may disappear for short periods, near exits or when going across or under bridges or tunnels where the cost savings were thought to outweigh the safety benefits of the shoulder.
Its shoulder is only wide, which is not wide enough for some automobiles—a standard lane in the U.S. and UK is .
As a result, some motorists are unable to fully exit the mainline when they need to pull over, so they end up in a position that is halfway in the rightmost lane and only partly on the shoulder.
In Ontario, Highway 403 had its shoulders between Hurontario Street and Erin Mills Parkway widened in 2003 so they serve a dual-purpose as bus lanes and accident lanes.
The Route 9 BBS in Central New Jersey which runs along two stretches of shoulders are dedicated for exclusive bus use during peak hours.
In the Seattle area, Community Transit and Sound Transit Express commuter buses are authorized to use the shoulders of Interstate 5 and Interstate 405 on small segments in Snohomish County as part of a pilot project that aims to reduce delayed bus trips.
Active traffic management with special signage, new turnouts (laybys) and a variable speed limit have been put in place to improve safety.
This 'smart motorway' system has been expanded to the M6, M1 and M25, as well as parts of the M60 and M62.
In the USA, on specially signed sections of highway in the Boston metro area, cars are allowed to use the shoulder as they would a normal lane during morning and evening rush hours.
The same scheme is employed elsewhere, such as on Interstate 580 in California on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, on Interstate 66 in Virginia between the Capital Beltway and US-50, and on Interstate 405 between SR 527 and I-5 in Bothell.
Florida has developed a plan for the use of shoulders by moving traffic during hurricane evacuations on portions Interstate 4, Interstate 10, Interstate 75, and Interstate 95.
The shoulder-use plan was implemented in place of labor- and resource-intensive contraflow lane reversal, in which both sides of an interstate highway are used for one direction of traffic.
Although direct rear impacts only make up 3% of motorist-on-cyclist collisions, they are a more prominent collision type in arterial/rural road type situations.
Data collated by the OECD indicates that rural locations account for 35% or more of cycling fatalities in Denmark, Finland, France, Great Britain, Japan, the Netherlands, and Spain.
The use of appropriately designed segregated space on arterial or interurban routes appears to be associated with reductions in overall risk.
In Ireland, the provision of hard shoulders on interurban routes in the 1970s reportedly resulted in a 50% decrease in accidents.
In some countries, the use of shoulders is optional for cyclists, who may choose not to use it for reasons such as: it being too narrow, inviting dangerously close passes at high speed by motorists; it having a road surface unsuitable for cycling or putting the path of the cyclist in direct conflict with the paths of other road users, such as those turning across the shoulder.
A road may have a gravel shoulder, its edge may be covered with sand or trash and the pavement may be broken.
The hard shoulder is usually demarcated by road markings in the form of a single dashed yellow line with the addition of yellow cat's eyes.
between junctions or interchanges, or beneath overpasses) a solid yellow line is used, denoting additional restrictions on usage of the hard shoulder.
At junctions and on-ramps and off-ramps, the yellow line peels away into the turn, with a dashed white line (with green cats' eyes) denoting a lane division following the main route (i.e.
The right-hand shoulder is separated by a solid white line, and the left-hand shoulder (if the road is one-way, such as part of a divided highway) is separated from the leftmost through lane by a solid yellow line.
On many roads, the lines are supplemented by reflective raised pavement markers or rumble strips placed every few feet in order to provide additional visual and tactile feedback to drivers crossing the lines.
Normally, driving in the shoulder lane is forbidden, but in the case of traffic blockage in some jurisdictions, use of the shoulder may be allowed for the purpose of reaching an exit if the exit is within .
On freeways in foggy areas of California, there is an obvious break in the line of the shoulder before every exit; this is to help drivers find their exits in heavy fog (especially the dangerous tule fog).
Some motorways do not have hard shoulders at all (for example the A57(M) and many smart motorways where the hard shoulder has been converted into a running lane) and there are a small number of dual carriageway A-roads which do possess hard shoulders (for example, parts of the A1, A2 and A27).
Hard shoulders are always marked with a reflectorized solid white line which is wide and is provided with a rumble strip.
The shoulders located on the sides of Italy's highways are normally used as emergency lanes in case of breakdown or by emergency vehicles in case of queues.
According to the regulation in force, it is mandatory to wear a high visibility jacket when dismounting from a vehicle stopped in an emergency lane.
Normally one is not allowed to drive on the shoulder, but in case of traffic blockage, use of the shoulder is allowed to reach an exit if the exit is within 500 meters.
Road signs can be found along motorways, to indicate the safe distance (1 line = too close, 2 lines = safe distance).
In a similar manner to Canada, Italy and the United States, as described above, the shoulders located on the side of Australia's highways are normally used as an emergency lane in the case of a breakdown or by emergency vehicles in the case of road congestion.
However, no mandatory regulations exist to wear a high visibility jacket when dismounting from the vehicle stopped in an emergency lane.
Approximately 45 miles (73 km) long, it rises in the Lewis and Clark National Forest near Highwood Baldy in the Highwood Mountains in southern Chouteau County.
It flows south then east, then northeast and joins the Missouri in the White Cliffs Area on the border between Chouteau and Fergus counties.
Hanumatodi, more popularly known as Todi, (pronounced hanumatōdi and tōdi) is a rāgam in Carnatic music (musical scale of South Indian classical music).
Thyagaraja alone has composed about 32 compositions in this raga with each composition starting at every single note of the three octaves.
While more advanced organisms can be considered hydrostatic, they are sometimes referred to as hydrostatic for their possession of a hydrostatic organ instead of a hydrostatic skeleton.
As a skeletal structure, it possesses the ability to affect shape and movement, and involves two mechanical units: the muscle layers and the body wall.
Fluid within the organism is evenly concentrated so the forces of the muscle are spread throughout the whole organism and shape changes can persist.
The muscle fibers may be found in continuous sheets or isolated bundles, and the diameter can be manipulated by three different muscle types: circular, radial, and transverse.
Circular musculature wraps around the circumference of the cylinder, radial musculature extends from the center of the cylinder towards the surface, and transverse musculature arrange in parallel and perpendicular sheets crossing the diameter of the cylinder.
The helical shape formed by these fibers allows for elongation and shortening of the skeleton, while still remaining rigid to prevent torsion.
If the fluid is some other type of liquid, it can take longer, but it is still faster than healing a bone.
Because the hydrostatic skeletons have limited ability for attachment of limbs, the organisms are relatively simple and do not have many abilities to grab or latch onto things.
Organisms with complete hydrostatic skeletons need to be in an environment that allows them to re-fill themselves with their fluid that is necessary for survival.
This organism is classified as a Hemichordate, and they are marine worms that use their hydrostatic skeleton to tunnel and anchor themselves into the ground.
Unlike the hydrostatic skeletons of many invertebrates, which use the bending of the animal for locomotion, the penis must resist bending and shape changes during sexual intercourse.
These fibers remain folded when the penis is flaccid, but unfold as the penis fills with blood during an erection, which allows the penis to resist bending.
While in typical hydrostatic skeletons, movement is generated by applying force to a fluid-filled cavity, muscular hydrostats generate movement by muscle contractions.
Mammalian tongues have the structure of a central core of muscle fibers surrounded by bundles of longitudinal muscles and alternating parallel sheets of transverse muscle fibers.
They would also shave their head in the outer courtyard of the Jerusalem Temple and then place the hair on the same fire as the peace offering.
This has led to divergent approaches to the nazirite in the Talmud, and later authorities, with some viewing the nazirite as an ideal, and others viewing him as a sinner.
As with other vows, a father has the ability to annul the nazirite vow of his young daughter, and a husband has the ability to annul a vow by his wife, when they first hear about it ().
In the Mishna, Queen Helena vowed to be a nazirite for seven years, but became defiled near the end of each of two of her first nazirite periods, forcing her to twice start over.
According to less traditional rabbinic interpretation, a Nazirite is forbidden to consume any alcohol, and vinegar from such alcohol, regardless of its source.
The laws of wine or grapes mixing in other food is similar to other dietary laws that apply to all Jews.
A nazirite can groom his hair with his hand or scratch his head and need not be concerned if some hair falls out.
A nazirite that recovers from Tzaraath, a skin disease described in , is obligated to cut his hair despite being a nazirite.
A nazirite (except for a Samson-like nazirite as stated above) may not become ritually impure by proximity to a dead body.
A nazirite that finds an unburied corpse is obligated to bury it, even though he will become defiled in the process.
Samuel and Rabbi Eleazar ha-Kappar, focusing on the sin-offering of the nazirite, regarded nazirites, as well as anyone who fasted when not obligated to or took any vow whatsoever, as a sinner.
A different Rabbi Eliezer argues that a nazirite is indeed holy and the sin referred to in the verse applies only to a nazirite who became ritually defiled.
Simeon the Just (a High Priest) opposed the nazirite vow and ate of the sacrifice offered by a nazarite on only a single occasion.
When asked his motive, the youth replied that he had seen his own face reflected in the spring and it had pleased him so that he feared lest his beauty might become an idol to him.
Maimonides, following the view of Rabbi Eliezer Hakappar, calls a nazirite a sinner, explaining that a person should always be moderate in his actions and not be to any extreme.
These vows required Samson and Samuel to live devout lives, yet in return they received extraordinary gifts: Samson possessed strength and ability in physical battle against the Philistines, while Samuel became a prophet.
Some believe that Samson broke his vow by touching the dead body of a lion and drinking wine () However, the divine terms for not touching a dead body, listed in Numbers 6, refer to the body of a human—not that of an animal.
In addition, the supernatural strength that Samson was given would have been taken away at the time of Judges 14 if his nazirite vow had been broken.
Samson has a unique nazirite status called Nazir Shimshon which permitted him to touch dead bodies, since the angel who imposed the status omitted this restriction.
Radak conjectures that even without this special status, Samson would be allowed to touch dead bodies while doing God's work defending Israel.
A midrashic rabbinical interpretation in this regard indicates that the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is precisely the grape.
This vow was observed into the intertestamental period (the interval between the writing of the Hebrew Bible and the writing of the Christian New Testament).
1 Maccabees (part of the Christian Deuterocanon) 3:49 mentions men who had ended their nazirite vows, an example dated to about 166 BCE.
If we are to believe the legend of Hegesippus quoted by Eusebius, James, brother of Jesus, Bishop of Jerusalem, was a nazarite, and performed with rigorous exactness all the practices enjoined by that rule of life.
In Paul was advised to counter the claims made by some Judaizers (that he encouraged a revolt against the Mosaic Law).
the Jewish Christians) in Jerusalem otherwise by purifying himself and accompanying four men to the temple who had taken nazaritic vows (so as to refute the naysayers).
What is curious is that Luke does not here mention the apostle James the Just as taking nazirite vows, although later Christian historians (e.g.
The tradition of the nazirite vow has had a significant influence on the Rastafari Religion, and elements of the vow have been adopted as part of this religion.
Some Rastafari have concluded that Samson had dreadlocks, as suggested by the description stating that he had seven locks upon his head.
They have also adopted dietary laws derived from Leviticus, which accounts for some similarity to the prohibitions of the Jewish dietary law of Kashrut.
The Odia script is developed from the Kalinga alphabet, one of the many descendants of the Brahmi script of ancient India.
The script in the Edicts of Ashoka at Dhauli and Jaugada and the Minor Inscriptions of Kharavela in the Udayagiri and Khandagiri Caves give the first glimpse of possible origin of the Odia language.
From a linguistic perspective, the Hati Gumpha inscriptions are similar to modern Odia and essentially different from the language of the Ashokan edicts.
This may be the reason why the famous German linguist Professor Oldenburg mentioned that Pali was the original language of Odisha.
There are noticeable similarities between the Odia and Thai alphabets, which provides clues about the Sadhabas, Kalinga traders who traveled to South East Asian countries and ruled there, leaving evidence of the Odia script on the Thai script, along with a cultural impact.
The curved appearance of the Odia script is a result of the practice of writing on palm leaves, which have a tendency to tear if you use too many straight lines.
Diacritics (which can appear above, below, before, or after the consonant they belong to) are used to change the form of the inherent vowel.
The structured consonants are classified according to where the tongue touches the palate of the mouth and are classified accordingly into five structured groups.
Vowel diacritics may be more or less fused with the consonants, though in modern printing such ligatures have become less common.
When the consonant forms a vowel ligature by which the lower right end is affected, this stroke is shifted to another position.
Many Odia signs with round shapes suggests a closer relation to the southern neighbor Telugu than to the other neighbors Bengali in the north and Devanagari in the west and north.
The reason for the round shapes in Odia and Telugu (and also in Kannada and Malayalam) is the former method of writing using a stylus to scratch the signs into a palm leaf.
The treatment of is similar to Bengali, Malayalam, Sinhala, Tamil, Grantha and also to SE Asian scripts like Burmese, Khmer and Thai, but it differs clearly from Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Telugu and Tibetan.
SAT-2 was a submarine communications cable linking Melkbosstrand, South Africa, to El Medano, Tenerife Island, Spain and Funchal, Madeira islands, Portugal.
Caesar Augustus Rodney (January 4, 1772 – June 10, 1824) was an American lawyer and politician from Wilmington, in New Castle County, Delaware.
He was a member of the Democratic-Republican Party, who served in the Delaware General Assembly, as well as a U.S. Representative from Delaware, U.S.
He was the nephew of Caesar Rodney, the signer of the Declaration of Independence who is depicted on the Delaware state quarter.
After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1789, he studied law under Joseph B. McKean in Philadelphia and was admitted to the bar in 1793.
Encouraged by Jefferson to compete for the U.S. House against the staunch Federalist James A. Bayard, Rodney ran and won a lively campaign by fifteen votes.
While in the U.S. House, he was a member of the Committee on Ways and Means, and established a national reputation as one of the managers appointed in January 1804 to prepare the articles of impeachment against John Pickering, judge of the United States District Court for New Hampshire.
In December of the same year, Rodney led another such case against Samuel Chase, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
After serving one term in the U.S. House from March 4, 1803, until March 3, 1805, he was defeated for reelection in 1804 by Bayard, by nearly as close a vote.
While Rodney spent most of his legal career in public service, he took on at least one notable case as a private advocate during the year before his appointment as Attorney General.
In 1806, he made an appearance before the Mayor's Court of Philadelphia to defend the Philadelphia Cordwainers against a common law charge of conspiracy.
The conspiracy charge was instituted by retail shoe merchants, based on attempts by the journeyman shoe and boot makers, to organize for the purpose of setting their wages and hours.
He served in that office for the remainder of Jefferson's term and for nearly three years in President James Madison's first term.
As Attorney General, Rodney participated as a member of the prosecution during the second treason trial of former Vice-President Aaron Burr.
In 1820 he was again elected to the U.S. House, serving from March 4, 1821, until January 24, 1822, when he resigned upon being elected to the U.S. Senate.
Along with John Graham and Theodorick Bland, Rodney was selected by President James Monroe in 1817 for a special diplomatic mission to South America, the South American Commission of 1817–1818.
This report is thought to have contributed much to the thinking behind the policy that eventually became expressed as the Monroe Doctrine.
It also resulted in Rodney's 1823 appointment as United States Minister Plenipotentiary to the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata, now known as Argentina.
The election produced little change among the 38 seats in the House of Representatives that were reserved for ethnic Fijians and Rotuman Islanders.
The SVT won 33 seats (a gain of three), and the Fijian Association Party of former Finance Minister Josefata Kamikamica won five (one down).
The Fijian Nationalist Party of Sakeasi Butadroka, which advocated the forced repatriation of all Fijians of Indian descent, lost the three seats that it had won in the previous election.
The NFP leader, Jai Ram Reddy, enjoyed a personal rapport with Rabuka; although they did not enter into a formal coalition, their negotiations led to a substantial overhaul of the Fijian Constitution which paved the way for the historic election of 1999, which brought Fiji's first Indo-Fijian Prime Minister, Mahendra Chaudhry, to power.
The same team that discovered the mimivirus later discovered a slightly larger virus, dubbed the mamavirus, and the Sputnik virophage that infects it.
Although not strictly a method of classification, Mimivirus joins a group of large viruses known as nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV).
The mimivirus genome also possesses 21 genes encoding homologs to proteins which are seen to be highly conserved in the majority of NCLDVs, and further work suggests that mimivirus is an early divergent of the general NCLDV group.
Protein filaments measuring 100 nm project from the surface of the capsid, bringing the total length of the virus up to 600 nm.
It does not appear to possess an outer viral envelope, suggesting that the virus does not exit the host cell by exocytosis.
An internal lipid layer surrounding the central core is present in all other NCLDV viruses, so this features may also be present in mimivirus.
Analysis of its genome revealed the presence of genes not seen in any other viruses, including aminoacyl tRNA synthetases, and other genes previously thought only to be encoded by cellular organisms.
Like other large DNA viruses, mimivirus contains several genes for sugar, lipid and amino acid metabolism, as well as some metabolic genes not found in any other virus.
The stages of mimivirus replication are not well known, but as a minimum it is known that mimivirus attaches to a chemical receptor on the surface of an amoeba cell and is taken into the cell.
The cell cytoplasm continues to fill with newly synthesised virions, and about 24 hours after initial infection the cell likely bursts open to release the new mimivirus virions.
Little is known about the details of this replication cycle, most obviously attachment to the cell surface and entry, viral core release, DNA replication, transcription, translation, assembly and release of progeny virions.
These micrographs show mimivirus capsid assembly in the nucleus, acquisition of an inner lipid membrane via budding from the nucleus, and particles similar to those found in many other viruses, including all NCLDV members.
Mimivirus may be a causative agent of some forms of pneumonia; this is based mainly on indirect evidence in the form of antibodies to the virus discovered in pneumonia patients.
However, the classification of mimivirus as a pathogen is tenuous at present as there have been only a couple of papers published potentially linking mimivirus to actual cases of pneumonia.
A significant fraction of pneumonia cases are of unknown cause, though a mimivirus has been isolated from a Tunisian woman suffering from pneumonia.
They do, however, lack any genes for ribosomal proteins, making mimivirus dependent on a host cell for protein translation and energy metabolism.
An alternative hypothesis is that there were three distinct types of DNA viruses that were involved in generating the three known domains of life—eukarya, archaea and bacteria.
HSN, formerly Home Shopping Network, is an American free-to-air television network owned by the Qurate Retail Group, which also owns catalog company Cornerstone Brands.
Based in the Gateway area of St. Petersburg, Florida, United States, the home shopping channel has former and current sister channels in several other countries.
It expanded into the first national shopping network three years later on July 1, 1985, changing its name to the Home Shopping Network, and pioneering the concept of a televised sales pitch for consumer goods and services.
Left with having to raise the funds, on-air personality Bob Circosta went on the radio and sold the can openers for $9.95 each.
Circosta later became the new network's first ever home shopping host and would eventually sell 75,000 different products in over 20,000 hours of live television.
In 1986, HSN began a second network that broadcast free-to-air on a number of television stations it had acquired under the name Silver King Broadcasting.
In 1999, the stations were sold to IAC founder Barry Diller and changed its name to USA Broadcasting, with a few of them ending HSN programming outside of overnight hours and taking on a local programming format equivalent to Toronto's Citytv.
In 1997, HSN formally launched its second nationwide electronic retail venture, a 24-hour network under the America's Store name (it had operated similar concepts of more limited scale since 1988).
Most of the America's Store hosts (some of which were already splitting hosting duties between networks) were absorbed into the HSN programming schedule.
In 2000, the Spanish version rebranded itself as HSE and began broadcasting on low-power stations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
On July 6, 2017, Liberty Interactive announced it would buy the remaining 62% of HSN stock it did not already own in order to acquire the company for its QVC Group.
Live programming was rescheduled to be from 7am to 2am EST daily, with the midnight hour being repeated on a loop throughout the night.
At launch, it was carried by Time Warner Cable and Verizon FiOS, and like the SD feed, is now carried by most pay-TV providers.
America's Store (AS) began in 1988 as the Home Shopping Club Overnight Service, which aired on broadcast stations around the United States from midnight to 9 a.m. and, in particular, on WWOR-TV from 3 to 6 a.m. in the New York City metropolitan area, along with its national superstation feed.
In 1989, HSN purchased a number of low-power television stations and began operating the service 24 hours a day as Home Shopping Spree.
In October, 2018 Quarate announced the closure of the Roanoke distribution center in favor of a combined QVC/HSN distribution center to be located in Bethlehem, PA.
HSN is live 24 hours a day, 364 days a year (it has previously tested carrying recorded programming during some graveyard slot hours, but unsuccessful).
The channel usually ends live broadcasting for the Christmas holiday at about 4:00pm EST Christmas Eve, and returns live at 11:00pm EST Christmas Day.
The show allowed members of the staff to go on camera with their families to say hello to relatives back home.
It is also aired as a paid advertising block on PTV, IBC, BEAM TV, AksyonTV and most of the channels owned by Solar Entertainment Corporation including Diva Universal Philippines which is a joint venture with NBCUniversal.
This corresponded to the front row of order takers in the HSN Studio at the Levitz Center (so named as the location was a former Levitz furniture store) in Clearwater, Florida.
After several months, this system was no longer adequate and HSN entered a phase where a phone system from GTE was used.
The Atlantis 2 project total cost was US$370 million invest by a 25 international carrier consortium led technically and financially by Embratel with more than US$100 million of the investment.
Embratel, which organized the project, also installed two additional fiber pairs of 40Gbit/s for its exclusive use between Fortaleza and Rio de Janeiro.
On May 10, to celebrate the definitive start-up of that operation, a videoconference between Fernando Henrique Cardoso (President of Brazil) and António Guterres (Prime Minister of Portugal) was held to demonstrate the new link.
The Judith River is a tributary of the Missouri River, approximately 124 mi (200 km) long, running through central Montana in the United States.
It is joined by Dry Wolf Creek in northern Fergus County, and itself joins the Missouri in the White Cliffs Area approximately 18 mi (29 km) northwest of Winifred.
The river gives its name to the Judith River Group of the late Cretaceous, a notable area for excavation of dinosaur fossils that stretches from Montana into southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan.
William Clark came across a stream which he considered particularly clear and pretty, and named it the Judith River, in honor of a young girl back in Virginia he hoped would marry him some day.
The Judith is a Class I river from the confluence with Big Spring Creek to its confluence with the Missouri River for public access for recreational purposes.
Beginning in the 1880s, the area surrounding the Judith River at Judith Landing was home to two large ranching operations: the DHS Ranch of A.J.
On the west side of the fjord is the large village of Tananger, on the south is the village of Solakrossen, and on the east end of the fjord is the borough of Madla in the city of Stavanger.
The Møllebukta bay area, located on the innermost part of the fjord, is the site of a popular beach and the Sverd i Fjell statues.
The only bridge over the fjord is the Hafrsfjord Bridge which runs between Kvernevik in Stavanger and Jåsund in the village of Tananger in Sola.
In 1952, Parliament decided that the Navy's boot camp would be added to the camp and also that the Navy would formally take over the camp.
Officer Candidate School for the Navy moved the intake and basic education from Horten to KNM Harald Hårfagre during the summer of 2005.
The battle paved the way for Harald to gain control over most of western coast of Norway and rightly call himself king of the country.
In 1983, a monument by Norwegian sculptor and artist Fritz Røed was raised in Møllebukta at the northeasternmost end of the Hafrsfjorden.
Serge is a type of twill fabric that has diagonal lines or ridges on both sides, made with a two-up, two-down weave.
The early association of silk serge, Greece, and France is shown by the discovery in Charlemagne's tomb of a piece of silk serge dyed with Byzantine motifs, evidently a gift from the Byzantine Imperial Court in the 8th or 9th century AD.
It also appears to refer to a form of silk twill produced in the early renaissance in or around Florence, used for clerical cassocks.
In the early 16th century it went mainly to a Royal monopoly at Calais (then an English possession) and was woven into cloth in France or the Low Countries.
This was greatly enhanced by the European Wars of Religion (Eighty Years' War, French Wars of Religion); in 1567 Calvinist refugees from the Low Countries included many skilled serge weavers, while Huguenot refugees in the early 18th century included many silk and linen weavers.
From 1993 to 2002, Pastis was an insurance defense litigation attorney in the San Francisco Bay area, but quickly became disenchanted with the legal profession.
However, he recovered, and Pastis remembers Schulz's graciousness: I was a total stranger to him, and he let me sit down at his table and we talked for an hour.
Then I showed them to a group of people who were acquaintances (but not quite friends) in order to get their honest assessment of which ones were funny and which ones weren't.
Pastis drew about 200 strips for the new comic and selected 40 of the best, but fearing more rejection, let them sit on the counter in his basement for the next two years.
It was not until 1999, when he visited the grave of a college friend who had been a free spirit and had encouraged him to be the same, that he overcame his fear and submitted them to three different syndicates, including United Features.
They met through their syndication attorney, and Conley taught him how to color the Sunday strips and add gray tones to the dailies.
After the strips were published, Pastis revealed that the artwork for three of the strips was in fact drawn by Watterson.
He was also nominated for The National Cartoonists Society Reuben Award for Cartoonist of the Year for every year since 2008.
After a 2009 upgrade, the capacity of the system between the United States and Portugal was increased to 160 Gbit/s initially.
ISCII does not encode the writing systems of India based on Persian, but its writing system switching codes nonetheless provide for Kashmiri, Sindhi, Urdu, Persian, Pashto and Arabic.
The writing system can be selected in rich text by markup or in plain text by means of the ATR code described below.
One motivation for the use of a single encoding is the idea that it will allow easy transliteration from one writing system to another.
In addition to the code points representing characters, ISCII makes use of a code point with mnemonic ATR that indicates that the following byte contains one of two kinds of information.
The code sets for Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil, and Telugu are similar, with each Devanagari form replaced by the equivalent form in each writing system.
Owing to labour migration in the 1960s and several waves of political refugees since the 1970s, Islam has become a visible religion in Germany.
An estimate published in 2016 for 2015 calculated that there are 4.4 to 4.7 million Muslims in Germany (5.4–5.7% of the population).
There are also higher estimates, for example according to the German Islam Conference in 2012, Muslims represent 7% of the population in Germany in 2012.
Most Muslims in Germany have roots in Turkey, followed by Arab countries, former Yugoslavia (mostly of Kosovo-Albanian or Bosnian origin), Afghanistan and Iran.
However, unlike in most other European countries, sizeable Muslim communities exist in some rural regions of Germany, especially Baden-Württemberg, Hesse and parts of Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia.
Among the German districts with the highest share of Muslim migrants are Groß-Gerau (district) and Offenbach (district) according to migrants data from the census 2011.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community organization comprise a minority of Germany's Muslims, numbering some 35,000 members or a little over 1% of the Muslim population, and are found in 244 communities as of 2013.
According to the Pew Research Center, similar patterns of Muslim migration to Germany should be expected in the future and the muslim population share is expected to grow.
According to the Huffington Post in February 2018 which quired each of the 15 state justice ministries, 12 300 Muslims are in prison and constitute about 20% of the total 65 000 prison population in Germany which constitutes an over-representation.
The highest shares are in city states of Bremen (29%), Hamburg (28%) but the share is high also in large states such as Hessen (26%) Baden-Württemberg (26%).
Muslims first moved to Germany as part of the diplomatic, military and economic relations between Germany and the Ottoman Empire in the eighteenth century.
The German section of the World Islamic Congress and the Islam Colloquium, the first German Muslim educational institution for children, were established in 1932.
In 2017, Muslims and Islamic institutions were targeted by attacks 950 times, where houses are painted with Nazi symbols, hijab-wearing women are harassed, threatening letters are sent and 33 people were injured.
In May 2018 a court in Berlin upheld the right to the state's neutrality principle by barring a primary school teacher from wearing a headscarf during classes, where the court spokesman stated that children should be free of the influence that can be exerted by religious symbols.
According to a study in 2018 by Leipzig University, 56% of Germans sometimes thought the many Muslims made them feel like strangers in their own country, up from 43% in 2014.
A 2017 study on Jewish perspectives on antisemitism in Germany by Bielefeld University found that individuals and groups belonging to the extreme right and extreme left were equally represented as perpetrators of antisemitic harassment and assault, while the largest part of the attacks were committed by Muslim assailants.
The study also found that 70% of the participants feared a rise in antisemitism due to immigration citing the antisemitic views of the refugees.
The right to practice one's religion, stated by the teachers in question, contradicts in the view of many the neutral stance of the state towards religion.
In the German federal states with the exception of Bremen, Berlin and Brandenburg, lessons of religious education overseen by the respective religious communities are taught as an elective subject in state schools.
It is being discussed whether apart from the Catholic and Protestant (and in a few schools, Jewish) religious education that currently exists, a comparable subject of Islamic religious education should be introduced as a regular part of the curricula.
In several states, trials for Islamic religious education are being conducted, while in the states of Hessen, Lower-Saxony and Northrhine-Westphalia, Islamic religious education already is integrated as a regular class.
The problem that the cooperation with Islamic organisations is hampered by the fact that none of them can be considered as representative of the whole Muslim community.
In 2010, the German Ministry of Education and Research established Islamic Theological Studies as an academic discipline at public universities in order to train teachers for Islamic religious education and Muslim theologians.
Since then, Islamic theological departments have been established at several universities, conducting research and teaching on Islam from a theological perspective.
Concerns of Islamic fundamentalism came to the fore after September 11, 2001, especially with respect to Islamic fundamentalism among second- and third-generation Muslims in Germany - the Hamburg cell, which included Mohamed Atta, was prominent in the planning and execution of the September 11 attacks.
The former claim that Islamic fundamentalism violates basic fundamental rights whereas the latter maintain that Germany is a state and society grounded in the Christian tradition.
According to a 2007 Federal Ministry of the Interior report almost half of all young Muslims in Germany support fundamentalist views.
About 12% of Muslims in Germany identified with moral-religious criticism against Western societal values in combination with corporal punishment up to and including the death penalty.
According to a 2012 poll, 72% of the Turks in Germany believe that Islam is the only true religion and 46% wish that one day more Muslims live in Germany than Christians.
According to German authorities, Salafism is incompatible with the principles codified in the Constitution of Germany, in particular democracy, the rule of law and a political order based on human rights.
According to head of security office Hans-Georg Maaßen, the Salafist scene in Germany is not dominated by any one single individual, but instead a great many persons have to be monitored.
According to German Federal Agency for Civic Education, the Salafist movement in Germany is centered in the Frankfurt Rhine-Main metropolitan area, North Rhine-Westphalia and Berlin.
In 2016, the interior ministry of North Rhine-Westphalia reported that the number of mosques with a Salafist influence had risen from 30 to 55, which indicated both an actual increase and improved reporting.
According to the Federal Agency for Civic Education, these examples show that Salafist mosques not only concern themselves with religious matters, but also prepare serious crimes and terrorist activities.
Turkish and Kurdish Islamist groups are also active in Germany, and Turkish and Kurdish Islamists have co-operated in Germany as in the case of the Sauerland terror cell.
Also many Kurds from Iraq (there are about 50,000 to 80,000 Iraqi Kurds in Germany) financially supported Kurdish-Islamist groups like Ansar al Islam.
Before 2006, the German Islamist scene was dominated by Iraqi Kurds and Palestinians, but since 2006 Kurds and Turks from Turkey are dominant.
In 2016, the German security service estimated that about 24 000 Muslims were part of Islamists movements in Germany, of which 10 000 belonged to the Salafist scene.
In March 2018, there were 760 islamists in Germany classified as dangerous by police authorities, of which more than half were on German territory and 153 of the latter were in prison.
They wanted to talk to young Muslims and discourage them from visiting betting halls, brothels and stop them from drinking alcohol.
In the retrial, the men were convicted and sentenced to pay fines as their garments suggested militancy due to the violent nature of similarly named organisations in the Middle East.

was believed by the German Authorities to have collected money in mosques and to have sent $8.3 million to organizations related to Hamas.
A study comparing Turkish Muslim youths living in Germany and German youth found that the former were more likely to attend religious services regularly (35% versus 14%).
In 1997, the band released the EP At The Mountains Of Madness and worked three years on the album Inside, which was released in 2000.
A proponent of natural philosophy, he believed in an innate mathematical order in nature and he attempted biological classifications based on the Quinarian system.
After studying at Göttingen and Heidelberg he spent two years at Leiden, where his attention was specially devoted to the amphibians and fishes.
This mastodon was on display for many years in Peale's Museum and is currently on display in Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt, Germany This mastodon is the first complete example found in the United States, and may be only the second fossil animal ever mounted for display.
Muthuswami Dikshita (, 24 March 1775 – 21 October 1835) or Dikshitar was a South Indian poet, singer and Veena player, and a legendary composer of Indian classical music, who is considered one of the musical trinity of Carnatic music.
His compositions, of which around 500 are commonly known, are noted for their elaborate and poetic descriptions of Hindu gods and temples and for capturing the essence of the raga forms through the vainika (veena) style that emphasises gamakas.
He is also known by his signature name of Guruguha which is also his mudra (and can be found in each of his songs).
Muthuswami Dikshitar was born on 24 March 1775 in Tiruvarur near Thanjavur in what is now the state of Tamil Nadu in India.
He was the eldest son of the composer, Ramaswami Dikshitar who instructed in a number of subjects including the vedas, poetry, music, and astrology.
The Dikshitar brothers accompanied the zamindar to Fort St. George nearby where they were introduced to Western orchestral music and the violin.
An ascetic named Chidambaranatha Yogi then took Muthuswami under his wing and away to the city of Benares (now Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh).
He was also exposed to Hindustani classical music, particularly the Dhrupad style, which, according to some scholars, would influence his later compositions.
According to legend, Murugan, the deity of the temple at Tirutani, placed a piece of sugar candy in Dikshitar's mouth and commanded him to sing.
These are mostly with epithets glorifying Muruga in the ascetic/preceptor form and have very few references to specifically the deity in the saguna form, as at Thiruthani.
He then went on a pilgrimage visiting and composing at the temples at Kanchi, Tiruvannamalai, Chidambaram, Tirupathi and Kalahasthi, Srirangam, before returning to Tiruvarur.
Muthuswami Dikshitar attained mastery over the veena, and the influence of veena playing is evident in his compositions, particularly the gamakas.
He experimented with the violin, and among his disciples, Vadivelu of the Thanjavur Quartet, and his brother Balaswami Dikshitar pioneered the use of violin in Carnatic music, now an integral part of most Carnatic ensembles.
On his return to Tiruvarur, he composed on every deity in the Tiruvarur temple complex including Tyagaraja (an amsham of Lord Shiva), the presiding deity, Nilotpalambal, his consort, and the Goddess Kamalambal an independent deity of high tantric significance in the same temple complex.
This is when he composed the famous Kamalamba Navavarna kritis, filled with exemplary sahityas on the deities of the Sri Chakra which proved to be the showcase of his compositions.
They included the Tanjore quartet brothers, Ponnayya Pillai, Vadivelu, Chinnayya and Sivanandam, the mridangam player Tambiyappa, the veena player Venkatarama Ayyar of Avudayarkoil, Tiruvarur Kamalam, Vallalarkoil Ammani, Kornad Ramaswamy, Tirukkadeyur Bharati, Thevvoor Subrahmania Ayyar, and the son of his Shyama Shastri, Subbaraya Shastri.
With the creativity and spiritual value embedded in his compositions, Dikshitar is considered one of the Trinity of Carnatic music alongside his two contemporaries from Tiruvarur, Tyagaraja and Shyama Shastri.
His total compositions are about 450 to 500, most of which are very widely sung by musicians today in Carnatic music concerts.
The compositions are known for the depth and soulfulness of the melody — his visions of some of the ragas are still the final word on their structure.
His Sanskrit lyrics are in praise of the temple deity, but Muthuswami introduces the Advaita thought seamlessly into his songs, resolving the inherent relationship between Advaita philosophy and polytheistic worship.
His songs also contain much information about the history of the temple, and its background, thus preserving many customs followed in these old shrines.
Muthuswami also undertook the project of composing in all the 72 Melakartha ragas, (in his Asampurna Mela scheme) thereby providing a musical example for many rare and lost ragas.
Also, he was the pioneer in composing samashti charanam krithis (songs in which the main stanza or pallavi is followed by only one stanza, unlike the conventional two).
Dikshitar was a master of tala and is the only composer to have kritis in all the seven basic talas of the Carnatic scheme.
At a later stage, Dikshitar composed some forty songs to several (mostly western folk) tunes loosely adopted to ragas such as sankarabharaNa.
The Judith River Group is a group of geologic formations in western North America dating from the late Cretaceous and noted as a site for the extensive excavation of dinosaur fossils.
It comprises the Judith River Formation in north central Montana, as well as the Foremost, Oldman, and Dinosaur Park formations in Alberta and Saskatchewan in Canada.
Within Canada, the name term Belly River Group is more widely used for what is essentially the same stratigraphic interval as the Judith River.
Viveka Eriksson or Viveca Eriksson (born August 18, 1956) is a politician on the autonomous Åland Islands and the former Premier of Åland from 2007 to 2011.
As party leader of the Åland Liberals she won the 2007 election and was sworn in as the first female Premier.
According to the 2010 United States Census, Georgia is the 9th most populous state with inhabitants and the 21st largest by land area spanning of land.
Eight municipalities have merged with their counties to form consolidated city-counties: Athens with Clarke County, Augusta with Richmond County, Columbus with Muscogee County, Cusseta with Chattahoochee County, Georgetown with Quitman County, Macon with Bibb County, Statenville with Echols County, and Webster County unified government with Webster County.
The largest municipality by population in Georgia is Atlanta, with 420,003 residents, and the smallest municipality by population is Edge Hill, with 24 residents.
The largest municipality by land area is Augusta, a consolidated city-county, which spans , and Edge Hill and Santa Claus are tied for the smallest, at each.
This is because above the station are the remains of a colonial era aqueduct, built in 1779, that ran between Chapultepec and Salto del Agua fountain.
The station is located near some interesting points of the city, such as the elegant tree-lined boulevard that is Paseo de la Reforma, the U.S. embassy, the Zona Rosa shopping and entertainment district, and the Torre Mayor, one of Latin America's tallest buildings.
He represented the state in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate and twice served as United States Attorney General in the administrations of William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, and Millard Fillmore.
During his early political career, Crittenden served in the Kentucky House of Representatives and was chosen as speaker on several occasions.
With the advent of the Second Party System, he allied with the National Republican (later Whig) Party and was a fervent supporter of Henry Clay and opponent of Democrats Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren.
Lame duck president John Quincy Adams nominated Crittenden to the U.S. Supreme Court on December 17, 1828, but senators who supported president-elect Jackson voted to postpone confirmation until Jackson could nominate his own man.
After his brief service as Kentucky secretary of state, the state legislature elected Crittenden to the second of his four non-consecutive stints in the U.S. Senate.
Upon his election as president, William Henry Harrison appointed Crittenden as Attorney General, but five months after Harrison's death, political differences prompted him to resign rather than continue his service under Harrison's successor, John Tyler.
He was returned to the Senate in 1842, serving until 1848, when he resigned to run for governor, hoping his election would help Zachary Taylor win Kentucky's vote in the 1848 presidential election.
After the expiration of his term as attorney general, he was again elected to the U.S. Senate, where he urged compromise on the issue of slavery to prevent the breakup of the United States.
As bitter partisanship increased the threat of secession, Crittenden sought out moderates from all parties and formed the Constitutional Union Party, though he refused the party's nomination for president in the 1860 election.
In December 1860, he authored the Crittenden Compromise, a series of resolutions and constitutional amendments he hoped would avert the Civil War, but Congress would not approve them.
However, he criticized many of the policies of President Abraham Lincoln and the U.S. Congress, including the Emancipation Proclamation and the admission of West Virginia to the Union.
His father had surveyed land in Kentucky with George Rogers Clark, and settled there just after the end of the American Revolution.
After a year at boarding school, Crittenden moved to the Lexington, Kentucky, home of Judge George M. Bibb to study law.
In 1860, after distributing some property to his now-adult children, Crittenden owned ten enslaved people, all mulattos (females aged 60, 25, 21, 18 and 16 and males aged 28, 16, 14, 10 and 1).
Crittenden's career as an elected official began in the Kentucky House of Representatives, where he represented Logan County from 1811 to 1817.
On the outbreak of the War of 1812, Kentucky governor Charles Scott appointed him as an aide-de-camp for the First Kentucky Militia.
In 1814, Governor Shelby appointed Crittenden to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by his former teacher, George M. Bibb; later, however, Shelby learned that Crittenden was only twenty-seven years old, three years shy of the .
A group of legislators, led by John C. Breckinridge, pointed out that the Kentucky Constitution provided only that the lieutenant governor would serve as governor until a new gubernatorial election was held and a qualified successor was chosen.
When the U.S. Senate term of Martin D. Hardin, one of Slaughter's unpopular nominees, expired in 1817, the Kentucky General Assembly chose Crittenden to fill the vacancy.
Though he was the youngest member of the body, he served as the second-ever chairman of the newly created Committee on the Judiciary.
He found state politics more interesting, however, and this fact, coupled with increased financial responsibilities incurred by the birth of his third and fourth children, prompted his decision to resign his seat on March 3, 1819.
After leaving Congress, Crittenden moved to Frankfort, the state capital, to attract more legal clients and be nearer to the center of the state's political activity.
Among his clients after moving to Frankfort were former presidents Madison and Monroe, future vice-president Richard Mentor Johnson, and future governors James T. Morehead, John Breathitt, and Robert P. Letcher.
The boundary was supposed to run along the line at 36 degrees, 30 minutes north latitude, but when Thomas Walker surveyed it, he erroneously marked the line farther south.
Tennessee's commissioners rejected both proposals, asking instead that the Walker Line be accepted east of the Tennessee River and a more southerly line west of it, with reciprocal agreements between the states to honor existing land grants.
He then threw his support to Andrew Jackson until he learned that John Quincy Adams, if elected, would likely make Clay Secretary of State.
Upon his appointment as Secretary of State, Clay was prepared to recommend Crittenden to replace him as chief counsel in Kentucky for the Second Bank of the United States, but the bank chose not to hire a replacement.
When legislation aimed at providing relief to the state's debtors was struck down by the Kentucky Court of Appeals, supporters of the legislation in the General Assembly passed a bill abolishing the Court and creating a new court, which they stocked with sympathetic justices.
Opponents of the legislation held that the Assembly's action was unconstitutional, and for a time both courts claimed authority as the court of last resort in the state.
Though he had served as president of the New Court-backed Bank of the Commonwealth since its formation in 1820, Crittenden publicly identified himself with the Old Court supporters in April 1825.
Many believed that he was the only Old Court supporter that commanded enough respect to win one of the two seats allotted to Franklin County, a bastion of the New Court.
When Crittenden consented to run, New Court supporters nominated the state's Attorney General Solomon P. Sharp and Lewis Sanders, a prominent lawyer.
In the early hours of the morning of November 7, 1825, the very morning the legislature was to convene, Sharp was assassinated.
Despite this, Crittenden refused a request to represent Beauchamp in his murder trial because he wanted to avoid any implication in the matter.
He was unwilling to accept a solution whereby all the justices resigned from both courts, and the governor would appoint a reorganized court made up equally of Old Court and New Court supporters.
This position cost him the support of some New Court partisans that had voted for him in the previous election, and he was not returned to the House in 1826.
Ultimately, Old Court partisans gained control of both houses of the legislature, and the New Court was abolished permanently in December 1826.
Todd's daughter Catherine married her stepbrother, Crittenden's son Thomas; their son, John Jordan Crittenden III, was killed at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
As a result of the Old Court – New Court controversy, Kentucky's politicians became divided between the Democrats and the National Republicans.
Because of Crittenden's support of his presidential bid, President Adams appointed him United States district attorney for the district of Kentucky in 1827.
In 1828, Adams nominated him to replace Kentuckian Robert Trimble as an associate justice of the Supreme Court, but Jackson supporters in the Senate refused to confirm him.
When Jackson defeated Adams in the 1828 presidential election, he removed Crittenden from his post as district attorney because of his association with Clay and his opposition to Jackson's financial policies.
Though his nomination was all but certain, Crittenden declined the opportunity, fearing that his association with Clay, who was losing popularity in the state, would cost his party the election.
Instead, he threw his support behind Thomas Metcalfe, who went on to carry a very close election over Democrat William T. Barry.
Secretly, the party wished to nominate Henry Clay, giving him a springboard from which to launch another presidential campaign, but it was unknown whether he would be able to secure enough votes for confirmation; it was decided that Crittenden would be the nominee, and if the voting favored the Whigs by a large enough margin, Crittenden would withdraw and allow them to confirm Clay instead.
Crittenden garnered sixty-eight votes on fourteen different ballots, but he refused to vote for himself because he wanted Clay to be the nominee.
Crittenden went on to manage both the unsuccessful gubernatorial campaign of Richard Aylett Buckner and the campaign to help Clay win Kentucky in the 1832 presidential election.
After Clay's defeat in 1832, he offered to resign his Senate seat and allow Crittenden to succeed him, but Crittenden refused the offer.
On July 4, 1834, he called to order the party's first organizational meeting in the state at Cove Spring on the outskirts of Frankfort.
He was chosen as chair of the committee on resolutions and in a speech on July 5, bitterly condemned President Jackson.
Immediately upon taking his seat in the Senate, Crittenden was named to the Committee on Public Lands and the Committee on the Judiciary, probably due to Clay's influence.
Early in his term, Crittenden vociferously opposed Senator Thomas H. Benton's proposal to spend the federal budget surplus on public land graduation and military fortifications along the eastern seaboard.
He also blasted the Jackson administration for issuing the Specie Circular, requiring that all payment for government land be made in gold or silver.
He pointed out that the principles of the circular had been presented in a resolution on the Senate floor, but had been tabled by a large majority.
Crittenden maintained that the tabling of the resolution was a condemnation by the Senate, yet the administration issued the circular only months later, overstepping, as Crittenden saw it, the bounds of the executive branch's authority.
Crittenden debated the issue at length with Senator Benton, and Congress ultimately passed a bill requiring the government to accept the notes of specie-paying banks for the purchase of government lands, but President Jackson employed his pocket veto to prevent it from becoming law.
He supported Henry Clay's plan for distributing proceeds from the sale of public lands among the states, and also joined Clay in opposing the administration-backed Second Seminole War.
In 1836, he resisted petitions by the Quakers to abolish slavery in Washington, D.C., but he also opposed radical pro-slavery measures such as John C. Calhoun's proposal to ban abolitionist literature from being delivered by mail in the Southern states.
In contrast to his usually conciliatory nature, Crittenden was drawn into a disagreement between congressmen Jonathan Cilley and William J. Graves that ended in a duel.
When Cilley refused to receive the communication from Graves, Graves charged that Cilley was questioning Webb's honor and challenged him to a duel.
Graves, accompanied by Kentucky congressman Richard Menefee and Virginia congressman Richard Wise asked Crittenden to serve as a second for Graves in the duel; Crittenden initially protested, but finally agreed.
The House proposed the expulsion of Graves and the censure of the other participants (excluding Crittenden, who was a senator and not subject to House censure).
The resolutions of expulsion and censure were eventually tabled, but Crittenden personally felt the sting of what he considered an indirect censure and later regretted his actions.
During the balloting at the party's 1839 convention, candidates Clay and General Winfield Scott played cards with Crittenden and Whig politician George Evans at the Astor House hotel in New York City.
When the group received word of William Henry Harrison's victory, Clay blamed his loss on Scott and struck him, with the blow landing on the shoulder which had been wounded during Scott's participation in the Battle of Lundy's Lane.
Scott then sent Crittenden to Clay with Scott's challenge for a duel, but Crittenden reconciled them by convincing Clay to apologize.
Crittenden was re-elected to the Senate in 1840 even though he was widely expected to be named to a position in Harrison's cabinet.
The plaintiff in the case was an individual whose property had been damaged during Andrew Jackson's invasion of what would become the Florida Territory in 1818.
A Florida court found in favor of the plaintiff and ordered the federal government to compensate him for the damages and to pay him interest on his claim from the time the damages were incurred.
Treasury Secretary Thomas Ewing asked Crittenden whether the court had the authority to award interest and whether or not it should be paid.
A group of his friends in Woodford County purchased his boyhood home and presented it to him as a gift on his return to Kentucky.
The Whigs' feud with President Tyler continued unabated, and some even talked of impeaching him, but Crittenden condemned that course of action.
Clay believed the Democrats would again nominate Martin Van Buren, who was ardently opposed to annexation, and this would keep annexation from becoming an issue in the campaign.
At the Democratic nominating convention a month later, however, Van Buren was unable to secure his party's nomination, and the Democrats instead nominated James K. Polk, who strongly favored annexation.
Clay tried to moderate his views on annexation, but his changes of position drew opposition from supporters of both sides of the issue as he attempted to find a middle ground.
This was the last time Clay would be nominated for president, and many Whigs believed that, following Clay's defeat, Crittenden was the new leader of their party.
Lewis Cass, a senator from Michigan, supported an immediate termination of the joint occupation agreement and maintained that a war with the British over the matter was inevitable.
Crittenden disagreed, and insisted that Britain be given two years notice before the joint occupation of the territory was ended in order to allow time for a diplomatic resolution.
Ultimately, Crittenden's position prevailed, and a compromise with Britain was effected, setting the dividing line between the two nations' claims at the 49th parallel north.
Crittenden did not support the war, and after war was declared, he insisted that commissioners accompany the U.S. armies and attempt to broker peace at every opportunity.
A few Whigs joined the Democratic majority in Congress to ratify the treaty and defeat the Wilmot Proviso, which would have banned slavery in the newly acquired territory.
A Democratic senator from Rhode Island opined that Crittenden could win support from a sizable number of Democrats in addition to the support of his own party.
Clay hoped Crittenden would again support him, but Crittenden concluded that Clay was no longer a viable candidate and threw his support behind Kentuckian Zachary Taylor.
This decision caused a rift between the two friends, and they were not reconciled until years later when Clay lay on his deathbed.
William J. Graves, out of politics since his fatal shooting of Representative Cilley, had the backing of sitting Whig governor William Owsley, while Archibald Dixon had secured support from former Whig governor Robert P. Letcher.
Letcher wrote to Crittenden that a Whig split and Democratic victory in the gubernatorial election would have an injurious effect on Whig hopes of carrying Kentucky in the 1848 presidential election; another former Whig governor, Thomas Metcalfe, concurred.
At the Whig nominating convention, both Graves and Dixon withdrew their names and a delegate from Logan County put forward Crittenden's name without his consent.
He would also have to abandon his growing legal practice before the Supreme Court and would lose input on national issues of importance to him such as the territorial questions that grew out of the Mexican War.
Nevertheless, he believed that his candidacy would unite the Whigs and help Taylor win Kentucky's electoral votes in the general election.
Elijah Hise, Chief Justice of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, was the leading candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, but after the Whig nomination of Crittenden, Hise withdrew from consideration.
As Crittenden canvassed the state, his opponents charged him with disloyalty to Clay because he refused to support him in the 1848 election.
Crittenden maintained that he supported Clay for the presidency over anyone else, but he had believed that Clay did not intend to seek the Whig nomination in 1848.
With his own campaign at a close, Crittenden resumed direction of Taylor's presidential campaign, dispatching accomplished Whig speakers to all parts of the country.
Appeals came in from both Whig and Democratic leaders across the country urging him to serve in the cabinet; Taylor was inexperienced, and many felt that without Crittenden to guide him, his administration would fail.
Crittenden's input is believed to have contributed significantly to the appointments of John M. Clayton as Secretary of State and Orlando Brown as Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
Resigning the governorship also would have amounted to admitting to the Democrats' charges that he only sought the office to help Taylor win the presidency.
Finally, he had not been able to fully heal the breach in the Whig Party, and he wanted to remedy that situation.
In response to Crittenden's call for financial support for the improvement of public education, the General Assembly passed a common school law on February 26, 1849.
The Assembly also reserved tolls collected on the Kentucky, Green, and Barren rivers for education, and passed a two percent property tax to fund the state's schools.
Crittenden ordered the refurbishing of the state penitentiary, which had been damaged by a fire, and called for an extensive state geological survey.
The state adopted a new constitution during Crittenden's term, though Crittenden was not a delegate to the constitutional convention and apparently had little influence on the drafting of the document.
Most Whigs opposed the calling of a constitutional convention because it would necessarily involve reapportionment of the state's legislative districts and threaten Whig dominance in the General Assembly; nevertheless, Crittenden belatedly supported the call for a convention during his 1848 gubernatorial campaign.
In response, the state senate passed a resolution calling on Kentucky's citizens to cherish the Union and resist any efforts to secede.
Believing the rift in the Whig Party was now much improved, he accepted the offer and resigned the governorship in 1850.
Fillmore, an opponent of slavery, requested an opinion from Crittenden on the constitutionality of the fugitive slave law, one of the bills involved in the Compromise of 1850.
Crittenden said that it did not, opining that it discharged a duty placed on Congress by the Constitution to return runaway slaves.
Questions regarding claims in Florida, some already considered by Crittenden during his first term as attorney general, continued during his second term.
The claimants contended that this allowed an executive officer to overrule a judicial decision in violation of the doctrine of separation of powers.
Further, he reiterated his 1841 decision that no interest could be paid on claims arising from damages resulting from Jackson's invasion.
Despite this opinion, a Florida judge awarded interest to one of the claimants, and the government appealed the case to the Supreme Court, with Crittenden serving as the government's counsel.
In this capacity, he wrote a vigorous warning to both Britain and France about interfering in the question of Cuban independence.
He also encouraged adherence to the United States' traditional policy of non-interference in Europe during the celebrated visit of Hungarian revolutionary Louis Kossuth to the United States in 1851.
Underwood, whose term would expire in 1853, desired re-election, and Whigs Charles S. Morehead and George Robertson had also announced their respective candidacies.
Crittenden, whose term as attorney general also expired in 1853, had publicly announced that he wished to return to the Senate after his service in President Fillmore's cabinet, and upon learning this, Underwood and Morehead both withdrew from the race.
Robertson was not expected to seriously challenge Crittenden, but following the withdrawals of the other candidates, Archibald Dixon entered the race.
Historically an ally of Crittenden, Dixon's entrance into the race after Crittenden's announcement showed that he had switched his allegiance from Crittenden to Clay.
Democrats, desirous to defeat Crittenden and embarrass the Whigs, pledged to vote against him at all costs, even if it meant electing Dixon.
Balloting deadlocked for several days, with Clay supporters throwing their support to Dixon, Robertson, and Lieutenant Governor John B. Thompson, a compromise candidate.
Another compromise was proposed whereby Clay, his health failing, would resign his Senate seat, creating two Senate vacancies and allowing both Dixon and Crittenden to be elected, but Clay refused to cooperate.
Finally, on the night of December 11, 1851, the Whigs met in caucus and agreed to withdraw both Dixon and Crittenden and elect Thompson.
Three weeks before Clay's death in 1852, he sent for Crittenden, and the two were reconciled; Critteden delivered a eulogy for Clay in September 1852, publicly dispelling the feud.
He encouraged the party to support the nomination of Millard Fillmore for the presidency in 1852, but the nomination ultimately went to Winfield Scott.
Now satisfied that the feud between Clay and Crittenden had ended, Dixon did not seek re-election, leaving Crittenden with no Whig opposition.
In the period between his election and his taking office, Crittenden was the lead defense counsel in the murder trial of Matt F. Ward, the son of one of Crittenden's lifelong friends.
Ward's younger brother had been disciplined by the principal at Louisville Male High School the preceding November, and the elder Ward went to argue with the principal on behalf of his brother.
Because the prosecution sought the death penalty, Crittenden asserted that if the jury rendered an erroneous conviction, they would have no peace of mind knowing they had sentenced an innocent man to hang.
The Whig Party had practically dissolved by this time, and he joined many of his fellow Kentuckians in associating with the Know Nothing Party.
Although he did not agree with all the party's principles, he would not associate with the Democrats, the party he had spent much of his career denouncing, nor would he associate with the new Republican Party because of their stance against slavery.
Despite his misgivings about some of the party platform, he campaigned on behalf of Millard Fillmore, the party's candidate in the 1856 presidential election.
Crittenden was present on May 22, 1856, when Congressman Preston Brooks attacked Senator Charles Sumner with a cane on the floor of the Senate.
During the attack, Brooks's allies from the House, Laurence M. Keitt and Henry A. Edmundson, prevented witnesses from coming to Sumner's aid.
Senator Robert Toombs then had to intercede for Crittenden, telling Keitt that it would be wrong to attack someone who was not a party to the Brooks-Sumner dispute, though Toombs also indicated later that he had no issue with Brooks beating Sumner, and in fact approved of it.
An opponent of the Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854, Crittenden also opposed repealing the Missouri Compromise unless the North agreed to substitute popular sovereignty for the exclusion of slavery north of the 36°30' line.
In early 1856, he proposed sending General Winfield Scott to the Kansas Territory to ensure that fair elections were held there, but the proposal was blocked by the Pierce administration.
He did not agree with all of the act proposed by Robert Toombs to allow for a constitutional convention in Kansas Territory, but he supported it as a step to bring peace there.
He regarded the ratifications of both the Topeka Constitution and the Lecompton Constitution as invalid, and made one of the most highly regarded speeches of his career in opposition to the latter.
His substitute bill that would have resubmitted the Lecompton Constitution to Kansas for another ratification vote was supported by Republicans, but it was ultimately defeated.
So great was Crittenden's influence after his actions on the Kansas question that Abraham Lincoln felt that Crittenden's endorsement of Stephen Douglas cost Lincoln the Illinois senatorial election in 1858.
From 1858 to 1860, Crittenden sought out moderates from all sections of the country to effect compromise on the territorial and slavery issues, thus averting war.
In 1860, he was named chair of the National Union Executive Committee, a group of congressmen and journalists who feared that sectional differences would destroy the Union.
Chosen as the keynote speaker at the party's national convention on May 9, 1860, many urged him to become their nominee for president.
At age seventy-three, however, Crittenden was already contemplating retirement and instead orchestrated the nomination of John Bell, whom he actively supported in the 1860 presidential race.
Even after the election of Abraham Lincoln as president in 1860, Crittenden rejected the idea that secession was inevitable and continued to work for the preservation of the Union.
However, he believed that this compromise must not be a simple legislative action, which could be altered or even repealed by a successive Congress, but amendments to the U.S. Constitution, which would be much more difficult to change.
Among the resolutions were a condemnation of Northern personal liberty laws and an assertion of the constitutionality of the fugitive slave law.
The amendments would have restored the Missouri Compromise line and extended it to California as a line of demarcation between slave and free territories.
Crittenden's other amendments would have further guaranteed that slavery would remain legal indefinitely in Washington, D.C., so long as it was legal in either Maryland or Virginia and that slaveholders would be reimbursed for runaway slaves.
Also, the amendments denied Congress any power to interfere with the interstate slave trade or with slavery in the existing Southern states and made the fugitive slave law and Three-Fifths Compromise perpetual in duration.
Though it was believed that Republicans in general, including their representatives on the committee, were disposed to accept Crittenden's compromise or one substantially similar to it, President-elect Lincoln had already instructed his trusted allies in the legislature to resist any plan to extend slavery into the territories.
Consequently, when the committee held its first meeting, the Republican members blocked Crittenden's plan and six others from coming to the floor for a vote.
After the rejection of Crittenden's plan in committee, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia followed South Carolina's lead and passed ordinances of secession.
On January 3, 1861, Crittenden tried to salvage his plan by recommending to the full Senate that it be submitted to the people in referendum.
It was widely believed that a referendum would recommend adoption of Crittenden's plan, and Republicans in Congress used a variety of procedures to prevent a vote on allowing it.
On January 16, with procedural delays exhausted, New Hampshire Senator Daniel Clark moved to substitute for Crittenden's plan a resolution stating that constitutional amendments were unnecessary to preserve the Union, and that enforcement of the Constitution and the present laws would eliminate the need for special sectional guarantees.
With the senators from southern states (both those that had seceded and those that had not) refusing to vote, Republicans were left with a majority in the chamber and passed Clark's substitute resolution, effectively killing Crittenden's proposal.
Having learned that John Archibald Campbell, an Alabaman serving on the Supreme Court, had decided to resign in light of his state's secession, President Lincoln proposed to appoint Crittenden to the vacant seat.
Lincoln's cabinet approved, and the nomination papers were drafted, but Campbell belatedly reconsidered his resignation, and by the time he definitely determined to resign, Lincoln had changed his mind regarding Crittenden's nomination.
Having failed to secure compromise at the federal level, Crittenden returned to Kentucky in early 1861, attempting to persuade his home state to reject the overtures of fellow southern states and remain in the Union.
Crittenden joined Archibald Dixon and S. S. Nicholas as Unionist representatives at the conference; the Southern Rights position was represented by John C. Breckinridge, Governor Beriah Magoffin, and Richard Hawes.
To counter any threat that the militia would seize control of the state for the South, the General Assembly organized the Home Guard, a separate militia controlled by a five-man, pro-Union commission.
Slates of delegates were nominated by both the Unionists and the Southern Rightists, but war broke out before the election of delegates; the Southern Rights delegates withdrew from the election, and the Unionist slate, including Crittenden, was chosen by default.
With war having largely precluded any good the meeting could have accomplished, only nine of Kentucky's twelve delegates were present, along with four from Missouri (out of seven elected), and one from Tennessee (and his election was questionable); Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware sent no delegates.
Ultimately, the convention accomplished little beyond calling on the southern states to reconsider their secession and on the northern states to moderate their demands.
Against his father's wishes, Crittenden's son George resigned his position as a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army to join the Confederate States Army (in which he was promoted to brigadier and then to major general), only to effectively lose his career in the early Confederate defeat at Mill Springs, Kentucky.
George's brother, Thomas Leonidas Crittenden, had been a member of Buckner's State Guard, but joined the Union Army in September 1861 and was advanced to the rank of brigadier general, serving under Don Carlos Buell.
One of John Crittenden's grandsons, John Crittenden Coleman, enlisted with the Confederate Army, while another grandson, John Crittenden Watson, graduated from the U.S.
President Lincoln called a special session of Congress to convene July 4, 1861, and Kentucky held special elections in June to select congressmen for the special session.
Crittenden had expressed his desire to retire from public service and initially refused pleas to become a candidate, but he finally consented to run in late May.
He was elected over secessionist candidate William E. Simms; in all, nine of Kentucky's ten congressional districts selected Unionist candidates in the special election.
On July 10, 1861, he accompanied Simon B. Buckner on a visit to President Lincoln to secure a renewed commitment from Lincoln to respect Kentucky's neutrality; Lincoln agreed only to issue a declaration that he had no present designs on Kentucky but would not commit to restrict his future actions.
In order to calm the fears of border state citizens concerned about the Union's objectives in the war, he introduced the Crittenden–Johnson Resolution, which blamed the secessionist states for the war and stated that the object of the war was not the subjugation of those states, but the defense of the Constitution and the preservation of the Union.
Burnett was one of only two votes against the portion of the resolution blaming the Southern states for the war; the only dissent on the remaining portion came from Wisconsin's John F. Potter and Ohio's Albert G. Riddle.
After Congress adjourned in late July 1861, Crittenden returned home to Frankfort, but soon had to flee the city as Confederate generals Braxton Bragg and Edmund Kirby Smith invaded Kentucky, capturing both Frankfort and Lexington.
He returned to his home in Frankfort shortly after the Battle of Perryville drove the Confederates from the state on October 8, 1862.
Returning for the regular congressional session, he became the conduit through which many reports of unconstitutional military arrests in Kentucky were channeled.
He spoke against the admission of West Virginia to the Union on the grounds that Virginia had not consented to the creation of the state from its territory.
When he returned to Kentucky following the 37th Congress, Crittenden's health was failing, and he frequently complained of shortness of breath and chest pain.
After remaining bedfast at the home of a local doctor, he returned home to Frankfort, where he died on July 26, 1863.
Among his other notable kinsmen were nephews Thomas Theodore Crittenden, congressman from Missouri, and Thomas Turpin Crittenden, a general in the Union Army.
They were the first election held under the revised Constitution of 1997, which instituted a new electoral system and resulted in Mahendra Chaudhry taking office as Fiji's first Indo-Fijian Prime Minister.
Previously, all seats in the Fijian House of Representatives had been allocated on an ethnic basis, with the numbers deliberately skewed in favour of ethnic Fijians.
The Fijian Association Party, led by Adi Kuini Speed (the widow of former Prime Minister Timoci Bavadra), won 11 seats (10 ethnic Fijian and 1 open) against only 8 seats (5 ethnic Fijian and 3 open) for the Fijian Political Party, which had ruled the country since 1992.
The Christian Democratic Alliance won 3 seats (2 ethnic Fijian and one open), while Apisai Tora's Party of National Unity won four ethnic Fijian seats.
Many ethnic Fijians were unwilling to accept the result of the election, which was partly because their own votes had been so fragmented while those of Indo-Fijians had been much more united.
Simmering resentment exploded on 19 May 2000, when George Speight stormed the parliament buildings and kidnapped most members of the government, including Chaudhry in a coup.
According to the 2010 United States Census, Idaho is the 12th least populous state with inhabitants but the 11th largest by land area spanning of land.
Night Shift is a 1982 American comedy film, directed by Ron Howard, concerning a timid night shift morgue employee whose life is turned upside down by a new co-worker who fancies himself a free-spirited entrepreneur.
Winkler was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, while Keaton won the Kansas City Film Critics Circle Award for Best Supporting Actor.
They are inspired by the plight of Chuck's prostitute neighbor, Belinda, to apply Chuck's financial acumen and Bill's entrepreneurial spirit to open a prostitution service headquartered at the morgue.
Meanwhile, Chuck and Bill's foray into the prostitution business draws the ire of dangerous pimps who come to the morgue and threaten to kill Chuck.
Because their arrest would be a political embarrassment, the guys are offered their old jobs back and a dismissal of all charges.
Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 92% of 24 critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 6.46/10.
Hunter College High School is a secondary school located in the Carnegie Hill neighborhood on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Publicly available data indicate that Hunter has the highest average SAT score, the highest average ACT score and the highest percentage of National Merit Finalists of any high school in the United States, public or private.
The first thing to excite our wonder and admiration was the number – there were 1,542 pupils; the second thing was the earnestness of the discipline; and the third was the suggestiveness of so many girls at work in assembly, with their own education as the primary aim, and the education of countless thousands of others as the final aim, of their toil.
Girls all the way from fourteen to twenty years of age, from the farther edge of childhood to the farther limit of maidenhood; girls with every shade of complexion and degree of beauty; girls in such variety that it was amazing to contemplate the reduction of their individuality to the simple uniformity of their well-drilled movements.
The catholicity and toleration crystallized in the country's Constitution prevail in the college: about two hundred of the students are Jewesses, and a black face, framed in curly African hair, may occasionally be seen.
The aim of the entire course through which the Normal students pass is not so much to burden the mind with facts as it is to develop intellectual power, cultivate judgment, and enable the graduates to take trained ability into the world with them.
Hunter was the subject of the 1992 book Hunter College Campus Schools for the Gifted: The Challenge of Equity and Excellence published by Teachers' College Press.
The high school has occupied a number of buildings throughout its history, including one at the East 68th Street campus of the College (1940–1970).
For several years in the 1970s, it was housed on the 13th and 14th floors of an office building at 466 Lexington Avenue (at East 46th Street), the current location of what is now known as the Park Avenue Atrium.
Since 1977, it has existed at the former site of the Madison Avenue Armory at East 94th Street between Park and Madison Avenues on the Upper East Side.
Although most of the armory building was demolished, the armory's facade, including two empty towers, was left partly standing on Madison Avenue.
The building contains both the high school (grades 7-12) and the elementary school (K-6), which are collectively known as the Hunter College Campus Schools.
Students from the five boroughs of New York City who have high scores on standardized tests are eligible to take the Hunter College High School entrance exam in the January of their sixth grade school year.
Note that this results in an eligible pool of much less than 10% of New York City fifth graders for two reasons.
The first is that much fewer than 10% of New York City public school students score above the statewide 90th percentile on either test.
The second reason is that a student must score in the top 10% on both reading and math tests (so for example, a student scoring in the 99% percentile in math and the 89% percentile in reading will not be eligible to sit for the test, even though their overall score is in the 95th percentile).
Most of those, between 2,000 and 2,300, do sit for the test and of those, between 182 and 185 are offered admission.
As a result, in recent years, the number of African-American students admitted to the school has been increasingly disproportionate to their presence in the public school system.
If you truly believe that the demographics of Hunter represent the distribution of intelligence in this city then you must believe that the Upper West Side, Bayside and Flushing are intrinsically more intelligent than the South Bronx, Bedford-Stuyvesant and Washington Heights, and I refuse to accept that.
Because of its relatively small size, and because the school is run by Hunter College rather than by the city's education department, Hunter has largely avoided being caught up in the debate over diversity at the specialized high schools in New York City.
But, concerns remain about the lack of diversity at the school where only 6.3 percent of the student body is Hispanic and 2.2 percent African American (67% of NYC public school children are black or Hispanic).
Publicly available data indicate that Hunter has both the highest average SAT score and the highest average ACT score of any school in the United States, public or private, though complete data is needed to be conclusive.
The majority of subjects are accelerated such that high school study begins in the 8th grade and state educational requirements are completed in the 11th.
During the 12th grade, students take electives, have the option to attend courses at Hunter College (for transferable credit), undertake independent academic studies, and participate in internships around the city.
Students in grades 7 and 8 are required to take courses in communications and theater (a curriculum that includes drama, storytelling, and theater).
Students in grades 7–9 must take both art and music, each for half a year, and then choose one to take in tenth grade.
One of the four available foreign language courses (French, Latin, Mandarin, or Spanish) must be taken each year in grades 7–10, and Advanced Placement (AP) language electives are offered through the 12th grade.
A year each of biology, chemistry, and physics must be completed in addition to the introductory science classes of life science and physical science in the 7th and 8th grades, respectively.
During 7th and 8th grades, students must also participate in the school's science fair; the fair is optional for older students.
After the introductory 7th grade social studies course, 4 semesters of global studies (8th-9th grades) and 2 semesters (10th grade) are followed by 2 semesters of 20th century history (11th grade).
In 9th grade, students are required to take a CPR course for one semester and a computer science course the other semester Starting in their junior year, students are allowed to take a limited number of electives and AP courses.
The senior year, however, is free of mandated courses except for a year of physical education electives and courses to fulfill leftover educational requirements.
Students have historically graduated with strong writing and reading comprehension skills, reflected by the school's high average SAT scores in critical reading and writing, and by the number of students who have earned recognition by the scholastic writing awards.
AP courses include: AP Computer Science, AP Calculus AB and BC, AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics, AP Psychology, AP European History, AP Chemistry, AP Physics C, AP Biology, AP Statistics, AP Spanish, AP French, AP Mandarin, and (Virgil).
Nearly 99% of Hunter's classes of 2002 through 2005 went directly to college, and about 25% of these students accepted admission into an Ivy League school.
In 2006–2007, 73 of the graduating seniors were accepted into at least one Ivy League school, constituting approximately 40% of the whole class.
In the graduating class of 2015, out of about 190 students, Hunter received 89 total acceptances from the Ivy League, and ultimately, 56 students (≈30%) matriculated into one of the eight Ivy League schools.
Of particular fame are the winners of the Regeneron Science Talent Search (formerly Intel and Westinghouse STS)- the first-place winner in 2005 was Hunter senior David L. V. Bauer ('05), while the 1991 winner was Adam Cohen ('97, now a professor in the Chemistry and Physics Departments at Harvard).
Publicly available data indicate that Hunter has both the highest average SAT score and the highest average ACT score of any school in the United States, public or private, though complete data is needed to be conclusive.
Hunter offers many extra- and co-curricular offerings for a small school: 28 varsity teams, 14 co-curricular organizations, five music groups, four theater groups, student government, 22 publications and over 100 clubs.
During club open house, members of the student body have the opportunity to spend their lunch time meeting representatives of clubs.
The executive board is composed of tenth through twelfth graders, elected by the student body, and includes a president, administrative vice president, activities vice president, treasurer, publicity secretary, and recording secretary.
organizes school-wide events such as Spirit Day, a school-wide outdoor recreation day usually held in October, and Carnival, held at the end of the school year.
Students can choose to further pursue their academic interests through school activities such as the National Economics Challenge, Hunter United Nations Society, Fed Challenge (economics), Mock Trial, Debate Team, Math Team, the Hunter Chess and Go Teams, Quiz Bowl, Science Bowl, History Bowl, First Robotics, and the Washington Seminar.
The Economics Challenge (run by the Council for Economic Education) team was formed in 2013 by two juniors and one sophomore, who subsequently led the Hunter team to become National Champions of the David Ricardo division in their inaugural year.
The Washington Seminar on Government in Action was introduced in the 1950s; students selected for this program research public policy issues throughout the year; arrange meetings with various public figures in Washington, D.C.; and then meet with them for questioning and discussion regarding their researched issue during a three-day trip in May.
The debate team is completely student run and is nationally recognized and attends various tournaments throughout the year including tournaments at universities such as Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
The Middle School debate team is a top-ranked team, that took the top three spots at the Middle School Public Debate Program's National Invitational Tournament at Claremont McKenna College in 2013.
The Quiz Bowl team went on to gain the title of national champions at the 2012 PACE National Scholastics Competition and at the 2016 and 2017 High School National Championship Tournaments.
The History Bowl team were varsity national champions in the 2012 National History Bee and Bowl during its second year and won junior varsity championships in 2015 and 2019.
The band is a woodwind-brass-percussion ensemble, and their focus is mainly on contemporary music, though they sometimes branch off into classical pieces such as Mozart's Horn Concerto in E Flat.
The concert choir is a larger group than the chamber choir, and consists of members from the tenth to twelfth grades.
There is also a selective jazz chorus, founded by former music teacher Campbell Austin, which focuses solely on jazz and pop.
Students may also audition for Junior Orchestra (grades 7–8, except in special cases) or Senior Orchestra (grades 9–12, except in special cases), which perform in the two semi-annual concerts at Hunter, the Winter Concert and the Spring Concert.
Hunter's sports teams are extremely competitive given the school's size; several, including both Girls' and Boys' Volleyball, Swimming, Wrestling, Fencing, Golf, Tennis, and Lacrosse are usually among the top 10 in the city.
The number of varsity teams- 31 -that compete in the Public Schools Athletic League (PSAL) is also an exceptional number, given the school's size.
Some exceptions, however, are the boys' volleyball team (Hunter Hitmen), the girls' volleyball team (Headhunters), the girls' swim team (Hunter Duckies), and the Ultimate Frisbee teams (Hunter Halcyons).
In the 1983–84 school year, the Hunter Heat, Hunter's bowling team, finished as the top team in Manhattan, Staten Island, and the Bronx, losing to Cordozo High School (number one team in Queens and Brooklyn) in the PSAL city championship.
Benjamin Sobel ('12) bowled for Ohio State University after great success in the high school level, both in PSAL and nationally.
In 1984 the boys' cross country team, in its second year in existence, defeated George Washington High School for the Manhattan Championship.
In 1992, 1993 and 1994 the girls volleyball team reached the New York City PSAL championships, clinching a win only in the autumn 1994 final.
During the 1998–2001 era, an unusual concentration of athletic talent led the basketball team deep into the PSAL playoffs for 3 consecutive seasons.
In 2005, the boys' volleyball team finished 4th in the city, the girls' soccer team reached the playoff semifinals, and co-ed fencing finished 3rd in the city.
This was quickly followed, on November 22, 2005, with the Hunter Girls Varsity Volleyball team's defeat of JFK High School to become the New York City Champions.
In 2009 Hunter's girls swim team beat rival school Bronx Science for the first time in nine years by six points.
During the 2005–2006 school year, the girls' volleyball team won the PSAL city championship after many years of falling short of the championship, losing in the semifinals and finals.
The girls' and boys' tennis teams also did well in the 2006 season, with the girls' team ranked 4th in the city, and the boys' team ranked 7th.
In the winter of 2006 the boys' fencing team won the PSAL city championship for the second year in a row, beating rival school Stuyvesant in the finals.
It has since captured the silver medal in winter 2008, losing to Stuyvesant in the final, and the bronze medal in winter 09, again losing to Stuyvesant, after beating them twice during an undefeated regular season to win the division championship.
Following another undefeated season, the team took first place in 2014, winning in a single-touch tie-breaker against rival Brooklyn Technical High School.
Hunter's varsity baseball and basketball teams were relegated to the B Division at the beginning of the 2006–07 school year, and reacted well to these changes.
Both teams made deep playoff runs, with basketball losing in the second round, and baseball upsetting the second seeded team and losing in the quarterfinals.
In the spring of 2008, the baseball team lost in the second round of the playoffs to eventual finalist and top-seeded Bayard Rustin.
At the beginning of the 2007–08 school year, Hunter's boys varsity soccer team also moved to the B Division of the PSAL, and finished the season with a 7–1 record, culminating in a heartbreaking playoff loss.
In 2010, Hunter's boys varsity soccer team, under the lead of returning Coach Asumana Randolph, defied all odds by winning their division, and winning the first round of playoffs in overtime, a game which in past seasons has been the last.
Hunter continued their streak to the championship, where they played Monroe Campus and won in a shut out; 3–0, becoming the first Hunter Boys' soccer team to win the PSAL championship.
A rough game, the championship was won at the cost of broken leg of Captain Emmett Kim, who was injured while scoring a goal.
Coach Asumana Randolph, ecstatic about the magnificent season, promised the team an African dinner; motivation which helped them push through each playoff round.
That season, prior to winning the City Championship, they were ranked third overall among all city schools, both public and private (after first-ranked Dalton and second-ranked Tottenville).
In the 2016 season, the Girls' varsity golf team won the citywide PSAL championship, defeating Bronx Science High School 5-0 in the finals..
The team went on to win the city championship in the 2017 and 2018 seasons as well, capturing the title for three years in a row.
The Hunter theater program is an active one, often with a season of four main-stage productions and many other showcase productions.
In a season of four main-stage productions, they normally fall into these categories: a Shakespeare play (often referred to as Shax); a Musical (Musical Repertoire, often referred to as REP); Hunter Classics, for students in grades 7 through 9; and the Brick Prison Playhouse, showcasing several student-written plays.
There are likewise two Theater Production Practicum (TPP) showcases, with student-directed one-act plays (through the class TPP), as well as a 7th grade play festival.
In the 2016-17 school year, the theatre season consisted of Musical Rep, followed by a student directed straight play, followed by Classics, then Brick.
Students at Hunter often enjoy various social events that are sponsored by the school administration, faculty and the student-run General Organization (G.O.).
Schrödinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality is a 1995 book by John Gribbin, in which the author attempts to explain the mysteries of modern quantum mechanics in a popular-scientific way.
His argument does not refute the theory, but demonstrates how all theories can be true and mythological (depending on one's perspective).
John Crittenden (1754 – 1809) was a Major in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War and a member of the Virginia House of Delegates from 1790 to 1805.
He was the scion of a powerful family of politicians and military officers who played key roles in the politics of several southern states through the end of the 19th century.
According to the 2010 United States Census, Illinois is the 6th most populous state with inhabitants but the 24th largest by land area spanning of land.
The work was never completed because of the rapid advance of the Red Army during the Baltic Offensive in late 1944.
He began using the nickname in the early 1930s and it was often how he was addressed by those in his intimate circle.
The decision was made in late 1940 to build Wolf's Lair in the middle of a forest, far from major roads and urban areas.
About two thousand people lived and worked at Wolf's Lair at its peak, among them twenty women, some of whom were required to eat Hitler's food to test for poison.
Buildings within the complex were camouflaged with bushes, grass, and artificial trees on the flat roofs; netting was also erected between buildings and the surrounding forest so that the installation looked like unbroken dense woodland from the air.
The FBK and RSD had responsibility for Hitler's personal security within the Wolf's Lair while external protection of the complex was provided by the FBB, which had become a regiment by July 1944.
According to Speer, between 28 July 1941 and 20 March 1942, Hitler left Rastenburg only four times for a total of 57 days.
The Soviet Union was unaware of both the location and the scale of the complex until it was uncovered by their forces in their advance towards Germany in early 1945.
Hitler would begin his day when he was in residence by taking a walk alone with his dog around 9 or 10 am, and at 10:30 am he looked at the mail that had been delivered by air or courier train.
Hitler invariably sat in the same seat between Jodl and Otto Dietrich, while Keitel, Martin Bormann, and Göring's adjutant General Karl Bodenschatz sat opposite him.
Dinner could also last as long as two hours, beginning at 7:30 pm, after which films were shown in the cinema.
Hitler then retired to his private quarters where he gave monologues to his entourage, including the two female secretaries who had accompanied him to the Wolf's Lair.
Occasionally, Hitler and his entourage listened to gramophone records of Beethoven symphonies, selections from Wagner or other operas, or German lieder.
In July 1944, an attempt was made to kill Hitler at Wolf's Lair which became known as the 20 July plot.
Staff officer Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg would carry a briefcase bomb into a daily conference meeting and place it just a few feet away from Hitler.
Stauffenberg's assassination attempt was unsuccessful because of this change in venue, along with several other factors, such as Hitler unexpectedly calling the meeting earlier than anticipated.
It was between here and the final checkpoint of Sperrkreis 3 that Haeften tossed another briefcase from the car containing an unused second bomb.
The attempted assassination of Hitler at the Wolf Lair was part of Operation Valkyrie, a covert plan to take control and suppress any revolt in the German Reich following Hitler's death.
News arrived from Wolf's Lair that Hitler was still alive, and troops loyal to the Nazi regime quickly re-established control of key government buildings.
Von Stauffenberg, his adjutant Werner von Haeften, and several co-conspirators were arrested and shot the same evening outside the Bendlerblock in Berlin.
Hitler departed from the Wolf's Lair for the final time on 20 November when the Soviet advance reached Angerburg (now Węgorzewo), away.
The demolition took place on the night of 24–25 January 1945, ten days after the start of the Red Army's Vistula–Oder Offensive.
The area was cleared of abandoned ordnance such as land mines following the war, and the entire site was left to decay by Poland's Communist government.
The Ibar, also known as the Ibër and Ibri (, , ), is a river that flows through eastern Montenegro, Serbia and Kosovo, with a total length of .
The river begins in the Hajla mountain, in Rožaje, eastern Montenegro, and passes through Kosovo to flow into the West Morava river near Kraljevo, central Serbia.
Passing through the most southern part of Raška District, it flows through several small villages, but this is one of the least populated areas of Kosovo.
In this whole area, the river has no major tributaries, but many short streams which flow into it from surrounding mountains.
There, it makes a sharp, elbow turn to the north, flowing through Zvecan, Slatina, Socanica, Leposavic, Dren and Lesak, entering central Serbia proper at the village of Donje Jarinje.
These lakes allow irrigation of an area of 300 km², representing part of a plan, never completed, of a huge Ibar-Lepenac Hydrosystem, which was supposed to regulate the Ibar-Sitnica-Lepenac watercourse (including ecological protection, irrigation and power production).
At Mitrovica, the river enters a minerals and ore rich area of the western slopes of Kopaonik mountain, which it follows for the next or so.
Entering central Serbia again, the river receives its major tributaries: the Raška, Studenica and Lopatnica, from the left, and the Jošanica.
In this section, the river has carved the long and deep Ibar gorge, which is the natural route for the major road in this part of Serbia, the Ibar Highway.
The gorge is carved between the mountains of Golija, Čemerno and Troglav from the east, and Kopaonik, Željin and Stolovi from the west.
This is a continuation of Kopaonik's mining rich area, including deposits of iron ore (Kopaonik, Raška), nickel (Kopaonik), asbestos (Brvenik), magnesite (Bela Stena) and hard coal (Baljevac, Ušće and Jarando).
The Ibar has previously gained notoriety as being the most polluted river in Serbia (together with its major tributary, the Sitnica), especially from frequent spills of extremely poisonous phenol, which causes constant problems for the population of Kraljevo, since the city uses the river's water for public waterworks.
It was depopulated in 1943 along with the town of White Bluffs in order to make room for the nuclear production facility known as the Hanford Site.
The original town, named for the judge and irrigation company president Cornelius H. Hanford, was settled in 1907 on land bought by the local power and water utility.
By 1925 the town was booming thanks to high agricultural demand, and it boasted a hotel, bank, and its own elementary and high schools.
The former Hanford High School still stands today, marred by its use during the years for SWAT practice, and can be seen from the Hanford tour bus operated by the U.S. government.
Julia Kavanagh (7 January 1824 – 28 October 1877) was an Irish novelist, born at Thurles in Tipperary, Ireland—then part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Although she is mainly known for the novel and tales she wrote, she also published important non-fiction works that explored the theme of female political, moral and philosophical contributions to society.
The appeal of her works is represented by the fact that several of her works have been translated into French, German, Italian and Swedish.
Born in Thurles, a small town in Munster, Ireland, Julia was the only child of Morgan Kavanagh (died 1874), author of various philological works and some poems, and Bridget Kavanagh (née Fitzpatrick).
Julia spent several years of her early life with her parents in Paris, laying the foundations for a mastery of the French language and gaining insight into French modes of thought, eventually perfected by her later frequent and long residences in France.
An attempt to capitalize on his daughter's literary fame by adding her as co-author to one of his published novels brought Julia much annoyance.
Kavanagh's literary career began in 1844 at the age of 20, when she moved with her mother, after separating from her father in France.
Julia and her mother were again living in Paris from the early 1860s, but moved to Rouen and then to Nice upon the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War.
how silly I am to have fallen.” She is buried with her mother in the Cimitiere du Chateau, on the hill above the Old Town to the east of Nice.
Her style is domestic, simple and pleasing, aimed at younger woman readers; her main characters tend to be strong independent and resourceful women.
Modern scholars see a pronounced awareness of gender politics in Kavanagh's writing and view her as a writer whose works consciously exposed the anomalies of social and sexual difference while still adhering to the conventions of the time.
He donated 400 acres of land and money to establish Stony Brook University in 1957, which has developed as a major public research institution.
Upon the United States' entrance into World War I, Melville became a soldier of the U.S. Army and the firm mass produced shoes for the Army's soldiers.
He supported the restoration and preservation of historic buildings in the area to encourage his vision of a New England village.
Under his leadership, Stony Brook was organized around a town green and the Stony Brook Village Center was completed in 1941.
His larger contribution was the donation of 400 acres of land and money to New York state to establish what is now the Stony Brook University, which was founded in 1957.
Emphasizing teacher education in mathematics and sciences, the university has developed as a major public research institution in medicine and science.
After joining his father in his company in 1909, Melville married Dorothy Bigelow (1894–1989), a daughter of Isabella Lyall and Charles Emerson Bigelow.
They expanded the home, a Cape Cod style cottage built by Alexander Hamilton Jr., a grandson of the first Treasury Secretary, and his wife, Elizabeth Nicoll Hamilton, into a 22-room mansion which they called Wide Water.
A magnetorheological fluid (MR fluid, or MRF) is a type of smart fluid in a carrier fluid, usually a type of oil.
When subjected to a magnetic field, the fluid greatly increases its apparent viscosity, to the point of becoming a viscoelastic solid.
The upshot is that the fluid's ability to transmit force can be controlled with an electromagnet, which gives rise to its many possible control-based applications.
MR fluid particles are primarily on the micrometre-scale and are too dense for Brownian motion to keep them suspended (in the lower density carrier fluid).
The magnetic particles, which are typically micrometer or nanometer scale spheres or ellipsoids, are suspended within the carrier oil and distributed randomly in suspension under normal circumstances, as below.
When a magnetic field is applied, however, the microscopic particles (usually in the 0.1–10 µm range) align themselves along the lines of magnetic flux, see below.
To understand and predict the behavior of the MR fluid it is necessary to model the fluid mathematically, a task slightly complicated by the varying material properties (such as yield stress).
As mentioned above, smart fluids are such that they have a low viscosity in the absence of an applied magnetic field, but become quasi-solid with the application of such a field.
This yield stress (commonly referred to as apparent yield stress) is dependent on the magnetic field applied to the fluid, but will reach a maximum point after which increases in magnetic flux density have no further effect, as the fluid is then magnetically saturated.
The behavior of a MR fluid can thus be considered similar to a Bingham plastic, a material model which has been well-investigated.
MR fluids are also known to be subject to shear thinning, whereby the viscosity above yield decreases with increased shear rate.
Where formula_2 = shear stress; formula_3 = yield stress; formula_4 = Magnetic field intensity formula_5 = Newtonian viscosity; formula_6 is the velocity gradient in the z-direction.
If the fluid is compressed in the magnetic field direction and the compressive stress is 2 MPa, the shear strength is raised to 1100 kPa.
Ferroparticles settle out of the suspension over time due to the inherent density difference between the particles and their carrier fluid.
The rate and degree to which this occurs is one of the primary attributes considered in industry when implementing or designing an MR device.
Surfactants are typically used to offset this effect, but at a cost of the fluid's magnetic saturation, and thus the maximum yield stress exhibited in its activated state.
These surfactants serve to decrease the rate of ferroparticle settling, of which a high rate is an unfavorable characteristic of MR fluids.
The ideal MR fluid would never settle, but developing this ideal fluid is as highly improbable as developing a perpetual motion machine according to our current understanding of the laws of physics.
Surfactant-aided prolonged settling is typically achieved in one of two ways: by addition of surfactants, and by addition of spherical ferromagnetic nanoparticles.
Addition of the nanoparticles results in the larger particles staying suspended longer since the non-settling nanoparticles interfere with the settling of the larger micrometre-scale particles due to Brownian motion.
A surfactant has a polar head and non-polar tail (or vice versa), one of which adsorbs to a ferroparticle, while the non-polar tail (or polar head) sticks out into the carrier medium, forming an inverse or regular micelle,respectively, around the particle.
Steric repulsion then prevents heavy agglomeration of the particles in their settled state, which makes fluid remixing (particle redispersion) occur far faster and with less effort.
For example, magnetorheological dampers will remix within one cycle with a surfactant additive, but are nearly impossible to remix without them.
While surfactants are useful in prolonging the settling rate in MR fluids, they also prove detrimental to the fluid's magnetic properties (specifically, the magnetic saturation), which is commonly a parameter which users wish to maximize in order to increase the maximum apparent yield stress.
An MR fluid is used in one of three main modes of operation, these being flow mode, shear mode and squeeze-flow mode.
These modes involve, respectively, fluid flowing as a result of pressure gradient between two stationary plates; fluid between two plates moving relative to one another; and fluid between two plates moving in the direction perpendicular to their planes.
In all cases the magnetic field is perpendicular to the planes of the plates, so as to restrict fluid in the direction parallel to the plates.
Flow mode can be used in dampers and shock absorbers, by using the movement to be controlled to force the fluid through channels, across which a magnetic field is applied.
Studies published beginning in the late 2000s which explore the effect of varying the aspect ratio of the ferromagnetic particles have shown several improvements over conventional MR fluids.
This observation has been attributed to a lower close-packing density due to decreased symmetry of the wires compared to spheres, as well as the structurally supportive nature of a nanowire lattice held together by remnant magnetization.
Further, they show a different range of loading of particles (typically measured in either volume or weight fraction) than conventional sphere- or ellipsoid-based fluids.
Conventional commercial fluids exhibit a typical loading of 30 to 90 wt%, while nanowire-based fluids show a percolation threshold of ~0.5 wt% (depending on the aspect ratio).
They also show a maximum loading of ~35 wt%, since high aspect ratio particles exhibit a larger per particle excluded volume as well as inter-particle tangling as they attempt to rotate end-over-end, resulting in a limit imposed by high off-state apparent viscosity of the fluids.
This range of loadings suggest a new set of applications are possible which may have not been possible with conventional sphere-based fluids.
Newer studies have focused on dimorphic magnetorheological fluids, which are conventional sphere-based fluids in which a fraction of the spheres, typically 2 to 8 wt%, are replaced with nanowires.
These fluids exhibit a much lower sedimentation rate than conventional fluids, yet exhibit a similar range of loading as conventional commercial fluids, making them also useful in existing high-force applications such as damping.
In particular the properties in term of yield strength can be increased up to ten times in shear mode and up five times in flow mode.
The motivation of this behaviour is the increase in the ferromagnetic particles friction, as described by the semiempirical magneto-tribological model by Zhang et al.
Even though applying a pressure strongly improves the magnetorheological fluids behaviour, particular attention must be paid in terms of mechanical resistance and chemical compatibility of the sealing system used.
These dampers are mainly used in heavy industry with applications such as heavy motor damping, operator seat/cab damping in construction vehicles, and more.
As of 2006, materials scientists and mechanical engineers are collaborating to develop stand-alone seismic dampers which, when positioned anywhere within a building, will operate within the building's resonance frequency, absorbing detrimental shock waves and oscillations within the structure, giving these dampers the ability to make any building earthquake-proof, or at least earthquake-resistant.
For example, the MagneRide active suspension system permits the damping factor to be adjusted once every millisecond in response to conditions.
Other manufacturers have paid for the use of it in their own vehicles, for example Audi and Ferrari offer the MagneRide on various models.
General Motors and other automotive companies are seeking to develop a magnetorheological fluid based clutch system for push-button four wheel drive systems.
At high engine revolutions, the magnetorheological engine mounts get stiffer to provide a more precise gearbox shifter feel by reducing the relative motion between the power train and chassis/body.
As of September 2007, Acura (Honda) has begun an advertising campaign highlighting its use of MR technology in passenger vehicles manufactured for the 2007 MDX model year.
Magnetorheological dampers are under development for use in military and commercial helicopter cockpit seats, as safety devices in the event of a crash.
They would be used to decrease the shock delivered to a passenger's spinal column, thereby decreasing the rate of permanent injury during a crash.
Much like those used in military and commercial helicopters, a damper in the prosthetic leg decreases the shock delivered to the patients leg when jumping, for example.
Federal Highway 125 is split into three segments: the first segment travels from Conejos, Veracruz in the north to Fortín de las Flores in the south.
Subsequently, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Quebec in a by-election in Montréal-Verdun on October 5, 1964, and was re-elected in the 1966 general election in Verdun.
After losing the 1970 Quebec Liberal Party leadership election to Robert Bourassa, Wagner left politics to return to the bench, receiving appointment once more as a Sessions Court judge.
He then entered federal politics, and was elected as the Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament for Saint-Hyacinthe in the 1972 federal election.
Wagner attracted support from Tories who believed that having a leader from Quebec would enable the party to break the federal Liberal Party's stranglehold on the province and from right-wing Tories attracted by his law and order reputation.
He was hurt by revelations of a slush fund that was funded by supporters so that he would be financially solvent if he lost in 1972.
Wagner led on the first three ballots of the Convention but lost to Joe Clark by 65 votes out of 2,309 on the fourth ballot.
In 1978, he was elevated to the Senate of Canada by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and sat as a Progressive Conservative.
His son, Richard, also pursued a career in the judiciary, eventually being nominated to sit on the Supreme Court of Canada in 2012, and who became Chief Justice of Canada in 2017.
A process for making a ferrofluid was invented in 1963 by NASA's Steve Papell to create liquid rocket fuel that could be drawn toward a pump inlet in a weightless environment by applying a magnetic field.
The name ferrofluid was introduced, the process improved, more highly magnetic liquids synthesized, additional carrier liquids discovered, and the physical chemistry elucidated by R. E. Rosensweig and colleagues; in addition Rosensweig evolved a new branch of fluid mechanics termed ferrohydrodynamics.
Ferrofluids are colloidal liquids made of nanoscale ferromagnetic, or ferrimagnetic, particles suspended in a fluid (usually an organic solvent or water).
Large ferromagnetic particles can be ripped out of the homogeneous colloidal mixture, forming a separate clump of magnetic dust when exposed to strong magnetic fields.
The magnetic attraction of nanoparticles is weak enough that the surfactant's Van der Waals force is sufficient to prevent magnetic clumping or agglomeration.
In 2019, researchers at the University of Massachusetts and Beijing University of Chemical Technology succeeded in creating a permanently magnetic ferrofluid which retains its magnetism when the external magnetic field is removed.
The researchers also found that the droplet's magnetic properties were preserved even if the shape was physically changed or it was divided.
The particles in a ferrofluid primarily consist of nanoparticles which are suspended by Brownian motion and generally will not settle under normal conditions.
MR fluid particles primarily consist of micrometre-scale particles which are too heavy for Brownian motion to keep them suspended, and thus will settle over time because of the inherent density difference between the particle and its carrier fluid.
Ferrofluids are composed of very tiny nanoscale particles (diameter usually 10 nanometers or less) of magnetite, hematite or some other compound containing iron, and a liquid.
This is small enough for thermal agitation to disperse them evenly within a carrier fluid, and for them to contribute to the overall magnetic response of the fluid.
This is similar to the way that the ions in an aqueous paramagnetic salt solution (such as an aqueous solution of copper(II) sulfate or manganese(II) chloride) make the solution paramagnetic.
Particles in ferrofluids are dispersed in a liquid, often using a surfactant, and thus ferrofluids are colloidal suspensions – materials with properties of more than one state of matter.
This ability to change phases with the application of a magnetic field allows them to be used as seals, lubricants, and may open up further applications in future nanoelectromechanical systems.
However, the surfactant tends to break down over time (a few years), and eventually the nano-particles will agglomerate, and they will separate out and no longer contribute to the fluid's magnetic response.
The term magnetorheological fluid (MRF) refers to liquids similar to ferrofluids (FF) that solidify in the presence of a magnetic field.
When a paramagnetic fluid is subjected to a strong vertical magnetic field, the surface forms a regular pattern of peaks and valleys.
The instability is driven by the magnetic field; it can be explained by considering which shape of the fluid minimizes the total energy of the system.
In the corrugated configuration, the magnetic field is concentrated in the peaks; since the fluid is more easily magnetized than the air, this lowers the magnetic energy.
In consequence the spikes of fluid ride the field lines out into space until there is a balance of the forces involved.
It requires energy both to move fluid out of the valleys and up into the spikes, and to increase the surface area of the fluid.
In summary, the formation of the corrugations increases the surface free energy and the gravitational energy of the liquid, but reduces the magnetic energy.
The corrugations will only form above a critical magnetic field strength, when the reduction in magnetic energy outweighs the increase in surface and gravitation energy terms.
Ferrofluids have an exceptionally high magnetic susceptibility and the critical magnetic field for the onset of the corrugations can be realised by a small bar magnet.
These surfactants prevent the nanoparticles from clumping together, ensuring that the particles do not form aggregates that become too heavy to be held in suspension by Brownian motion.
The magnetic particles in an ideal ferrofluid do not settle out, even when exposed to a strong magnetic, or gravitational field.
A surfactant has a polar head and non-polar tail (or vice versa), one of which adsorbs to a nanoparticle, while the non-polar tail (or polar head) sticks out into the carrier medium, forming an inverse or regular micelle, respectively, around the particle.
While surfactants are useful in prolonging the settling rate in ferrofluids, they also prove detrimental to the fluid's magnetic properties (specifically, the fluid's magnetic saturation).
According to engineers at Ferrotec, ferrofluid seals on rotating shafts typically withstand 3 to 4 psi; additional seals can be stacked to form assemblies capable of withstanding higher pressures.
If applied to the surface of a strong enough magnet, such as one made of neodymium, it can cause the magnet to glide across smooth surfaces with minimal resistance.
Ferrofluid based dampers solve both of these issues and are becoming popular in the helicopter community, which has to deal with large inertial and aerodynamic vibrations.
Ferrofluids can be used to image magnetic domain structures on the surface of ferromagnetic materials using a technique developed by Francis Bitter.
Starting in 1973, ferrofluids have been used in loudspeakers to remove heat from the voice coil, and to passively damp the movement of the cone.
They reside in what would normally be the air gap around the voice coil, held in place by the speaker's magnet.
A strong magnet placed near the voice coil (which produces heat) will attract cold ferrofluid more than hot ferrofluid thus pulling the heated ferrofluid away from the electric voice coil and toward a heat sink.
Fred Becker and Lou Melillo of Becker Electronics were also early adopters in 1976, with Melillo joining Ferrotec and publishing a paper in 1980.
Today, some 300 million sound-generating transducers per year are produced with ferrofluid inside, including speakers installed in laptops, cell phones, headphones and earbuds.
Several ferrofluids were marketed for use as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging, which depend on the difference in magnetic relaxation times of different tissues to provide contrast.
(also known as Endorem and ferumoxides, discontinued in 2008; resovist (also known as Cliavist (2001 to 2009); Sinerem (also known as Combidex, withdrawn in 2007; Lumirem (also known as Gastromark (1996 to 2012; Clariscan (also known as PEG-fero, Feruglose, and NC100150), development of which was discontinued due to safety concerns.
When they reach a critical thinness, the needles begin emitting jets that might be used in the future as a thruster mechanism to propel small satellites such as CubeSats.
These applications include measuring specific viscosity of a liquid placed between a polarizer and an analyzer, illuminated by a helium–neon laser.
In this process the drugs would be attached to or enclosed within a ferrofluid and could be targeted and selectively released using magnetic fields.
It has also been proposed in a form of nanosurgery to separate one tissue from another—for example a tumor from the tissue in which it has grown.
An external magnetic field imposed on a ferrofluid with varying susceptibility (e.g., because of a temperature gradient) results in a nonuniform magnetic body force, which leads to a form of heat transfer called thermomagnetic convection.
This form of heat transfer can be useful when conventional convection heat transfer is inadequate; e.g., in miniature microscale devices or under reduced gravity conditions.
Special magnetic nanofluids with tunable thermal conductivity to viscosity ratio can be used as multifunctional ‘smart materials’ that can remove heat and also arrest vibrations (damper).
One simple example of ferrofluid based energy harvesting is to place the ferrofluid inside a container to use external mechanical vibrations to generate electricity inside a coil wrapped around the container surrounded by a permanent magnet.
When external vibrations cause the ferrofluid to slosh around in the container, there is a change in magnetic flux fields with respect to the coil of wire.
Ivan Rebroff (31 July 193127 February 2008) was a German-born vocalist, allegedly of Russian ancestry, who rose to prominence for his distinct and extensive vocal range of four and a half octaves, ranging from the soprano to bass registers.
Although his knowledge and pronunciation of Russian was imperfect, he became famous for singing Russian folk songs, but also performed opera, light classics and folk songs from many other countries.
Rebroff still performed 12 shows in 14 days when he was well into his seventies, such as on an Australian tour.
Four days after his death, his brother Horst Rippert, who is nine years his senior (and by his own unsubstantiated accounts shot down Antoine de Saint Exupéry during World War II), claimed part of Rebroff's vast fortune.
The first city to incorporate was Farmington on January 11, 1841, while the most recent was Maharishi Vedic City on July 25, 2001.
The annuals are traditionally published in July or August, in time for Christmas, and since 1965 they have had the date of the following year on the cover.
After Desperate Dan took over the front page in 1984, the annual cover reflected this by featuring both Korky and Dan until the release of the 1991 book in 1990 – which was the first ever Dandy Annual to not feature Korky on the front cover in any way.
The remaining 5 ethnic Fijian seats, and one open electorate, were won by the Conservative Alliance, one of whom was George Speight who had led the putsch against the lawful government the year before.
The three remaining seats (one general electorate, one open electorate, and the Rotuman Islanders' seat) were won by minor parties and independent candidates.
The Constitution of Fiji was restored by a High Court decision on 15 November 2000, following the failure of the political upheaval in which the government had been deposed and the constitution suspended in May that year.
In what was one of Fiji's most bitterly fought elections ever, the newly formed Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua of the interim Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase narrowly defeated the Fiji Labour Party of deposed former Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry.
The FLP had been hurt by leadership bickering in the wake of the coup, and the subsequent defection of a number of its high-profile members from the ethnic Fijian community, including Tupeni Baba, the former Deputy Prime Minister.
The mutual refusal of the FLP and the National Federation Party, the only other political party with significant Indo-Fijian support, to reach a preference-swapping deal had also worked against both parties.
(In Fiji's system of transferable voting, any two or more candidates in a particular constituency can have their votes combined, unless the electors specify a different option by ranking the candidates numerically in order of their preference).
Controversy continued after the 2001 election, with Prime Minister Qarase finding reasons, which many considered to be pretexts, for not implementing the power-sharing provisions of the Constitution, which required that every political party with more than 8 seats in the House of Representatives must be proportionally represented in the Cabinet.
On 18 July 2003, the Supreme Court of Fiji ruled that Qarase's exclusion of the Labour Party from the Cabinet was unconstitutional, and demanded that the situation be rectified.
Qarase has said that he would abide by the ruling, but his refusal to include Chaudhry in the Cabinet lineup continued to stall negotiations, until the FLP announced in November that it was no longer interested in participating in the Qarase-led government.
According to the 2010 United States Census, Kansas is the 34th most populous state with inhabitants and the 13th largest by land area spanning of land.
Once a city is incorporated in Kansas, it will continue to be a city even after falling below the minimum required to become a city, and even if the minimum is later raised.
A city can de-incorporate, but if citizens decide to re-incorporate at a later date, then new minimum requirements must be met.
As a supplement to the list of cities, the following military installations are provided because of their relative size in active duty and/or service members living on the post and their location within the borders of the state of Kansas.
It is famous for being the birthplace of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson, victor at the Battle of Trafalgar and one of Britain's greatest heroes.
The house in which Nelson was born was demolished soon after his father's death, though the rectory that replaced it and the church at which his father preached can still be seen.
This system went into effect on January 1, 2015, following the 2014 passage of House Bill 331 by the Kentucky General Assembly and the bill's signing into law by Governor Steve Beshear.
The new system replaced one in which cities were divided into six classes based on their population at the time of their classification.
Prior to the enactment of House Bill 331, over 400 classification-related laws affected public safety, alcohol beverage control, revenue options and others.
Lexington and Fayette County are completely merged in a unitary urban county government (UCG); Louisville and other cities within Jefferson County have also merged into a single metro government.
If all cities had been reclassified in the pre-2015 scheme according to actual population, about one-third of classifications would have changed.
Because many provisions of state law applied only to cities of certain pre-2015 classes, House Bill 331 was explicitly written to address such issues.
In certain other areas that were more controversial, the pre-2015 status quo is being maintained through a registry of cities that were covered by prior laws.
At the time the new system went into effect, the state's two largest cities of Louisville and Lexington were the only ones classified as first-class.
Carlotta Mercedes Agnes McCambridge (March 16, 1916 – March 2, 2004) was an American actress of radio, stage, film, and television.
McCambridge was born in Joliet, Illinois, the daughter of Irish-American Roman Catholic parents Marie (née Mahaffry) and John Patrick McCambridge, a farmer.
When, according to the terms pact, certain celestial phenomena signaled it was time for the marriage Carlotta (McCambridge) disappeared Darrin and pushed for Samantha to marry her coddled son Juke (played by veteran character actor Steve Franken).
McCambridge won the 1949 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role, while the film won Best Picture for that year.
McCambridge also won the Golden Globe Awards for Best Supporting Actress and New Star of the Year - Actress for her performance.
To sound as disturbing as possible, McCambridge insisted on swallowing raw eggs, chain smoking and drinking whiskey to make her voice harsh and her performance aggressive.
Director William Friedkin also arranged for her to be bound to a chair during recordings, so that the demon seemed to be struggling against its restraints.
Friedkin claimed that she initially requested no credit for the film—fearing it would take away from the attention of Blair's performance—but later complained about her absence of credit during the film's premiere.
Her dispute with Friedkin and the Warner Bros. over her exclusion ended when, with the help of the Screen Actors Guild, she was properly credited for her vocal work in the film.
In May of 1977, Miss McCambridge helped dedicate the Theater Building of El Centro College by starring in the Title Role in the production of The Madwoman of Chaillot.
Director Eddie Thomas had known her for many years and she graciously conducted an actors' workshop for the college students during the week prior to the opening night.
This allowed her to teach college theater students and celebrate the dedication of the Theatre building for El Centro Jr. College in Dallas.
In 1979, McCambridge's son John Markle, a UCLA graduate with a Ph.D. in Economics, joined the Little Rock, Arkansas investment firm Stephens Inc. after working for Salomon Brothers in New York City.
Markle was a successful futures trader, and quickly rose through the company's ranks, but in the fall of 1987, the company discovered that Markle had opened a secret account in McCambridge's name.
Soon the company found that Markle had been co-mingling the accounts' funds and charging losses to the Stephens house account, while crediting all revenue from winning trades to McCambridge's account.
McCambridge refused to cooperate with Markle and the company in instituting a repayment scheme that would have kept the matter from becoming public.
Shortly thereafter, in November 1987, Markle killed his family—his wife Christine (age 45) and daughters Amy (age 13) and Suzanne (age 9)—and then himself.
Although some of the mishandled funds had been handled under McCambridge's name through Markle's power of attorney, she herself was subsequently cleared of any wrongdoing.
She first served as a volunteer member of the Board of Directors, then as President and CEO, responsible for the day-to-day operations of the treatment center, which at the time was a 76-bed residential program for both male and female alcoholics.
Livengrin still operates today, and has 129 beds and 8 outpatient clinics throughout southeastern Pennsylvania, treating both alcoholism and drug addiction.
McCambridge, through her celebrity and larger-than-life personality, helped bring public recognition to, and acceptance of the disease of addiction, as well as the benefits of seeking treatment for the disease.
McCambridge died on March 2, 2004, in La Jolla in San Diego, California, of natural causes, two weeks before her 88th birthday.
For her contributions to television and the motion picture industry, Mercedes McCambridge has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: one for motion pictures at 1722 Vine Street, and one for television at 6243 Hollywood Boulevard.
Benjamin Weider was born on February 1, 1923 in Montréal, Québec, Canada, to Louis and Anna Weider, Polish Jewish emigrants from the town of Kurów in Poland.
In Napoleonic circles, Weider was known as a forceful advocate of the theory that Napoleon was assassinated by a member of his entourage during his exile in Saint Helena.
On October 12, 2000, he received the French Legion of Honor, that country's highest honour, which was established by Bonaparte himself.
Weider was also a 1984 nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, a member of the Quebec Sports Hall of Fame, and a Commander of the Venerable Order of St. John.
The Institute on Napoleon and the French Revolution at the Florida State University History Department has recently created the Ben Weider Chair in Revolutionary Studies.
In 2008, he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 20th Anniversary Arnold Classic (only the eighth time in the competition's history that this award had been presented).
Weider owned one of the most extensive collections of Napoleon memorabilia, including one of the bicorne hats worn by Napoleon during the invasion of Russia in 1812, of which only 12 are known to still exist today.
Three weeks before his death, he donated his entire set of Napoleonic artifacts, over 60 pieces in all, to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, making it one of the largest collections of its kind in the world.
Prince Charles Napoleon, great-great-grandson of Napoleon's youngest brother Jerome, was on hand to inaugurate the museum's new permanent gallery on Oct. 23, 2008.
Tyler Hoechlin played Joe Weider, while Julianne Hough plays Betty Weider, his wife, Aneurin Barnard acted in the role of Ben Weider and Calum Von Moger portrayed Arnold Schwarzenegger.
This is a complete list of U.S. congressional committees (standing committees and select or special committees) that are operating in the United States Senate.
Senate committees are divided, according to relative importance, into three categories: Class A, Class B, and Class C. Individual Senators are in general limited to service on two Class A committees and one Class B committee.
They are Agriculture; Appropriations; Armed Services; Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs; Commerce, Science, and Transportation; Energy and Natural Resources; Environment and Public Works; Finance; Foreign Relations; Governmental Affairs; Judiciary; and Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.
There are currently two Class B committees: the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Special Committee on Aging, and two Class C committees: the Select Committee on Indian Affairs and the Select Committee on Ethics.
At present there are four: the Joint Economic Committee (Class B), the Joint Committee on the Library (Class C), the Joint Committee on Printing (Class C), and the Joint Committee on Taxation (Class C).
Standing committees in the Senate have their jurisdiction set by three primary sources: Senate Rules, ad hoc Senate Resolutions, and Senate Resolutions related to committee funding.
To see an overview of the jurisdictions of standing committees in the Senate, see Standing Rules of the United States Senate, Rule XXV.
She frequently appeared in comedic roles throughout her career, which spans four decades and includes over 140 credits in film and television.
She began her career as a teenager with small roles in television and film in the early 1960s, including appearances as a dancer in nine Elvis Presley musicals.
After spending two years attending college, Garr left Los Angeles and studied acting at the Lee Strasberg Institute in New York City.
In 2002, Garr announced that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, the symptoms of which had negatively affected her ability to perform beginning in the 1990s.
She spent her early life in Cleveland, and the family briefly relocated to New Jersey before settling in Los Angeles, California.
And I saw my mother be this incredibly strong, creative woman who put three kids through college—one of my brothers is a surgeon.
Garr graduated from North Hollywood High School, and attended California State University, Northridge for two years before dropping out and relocating to New York City to further pursue acting.
Garr's career began to slow in the late-1990s after she was informed by a neurologist that symptoms she had been experiencing for many years were those of multiple sclerosis.
After separating from Birnbaum, Garr was in a seven-year relationship with David Kipper, a physician, to whom she was introduced by Carrie Fisher.
Garr has one daughter, Molly O'Neil, born in November 1993, whom she adopted with her husband, contractor John O'Neil; the two were present on the day their adopted daughter was born.
In July 1990, a Los Angeles County judge ordered a female stalker of Garr's to cease contacting her, as well as to remain 100 yards away from Garr, her home, and her work locations for three years.
After disclosing her condition, she became a National Ambassador for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and National Chair for the Society's Women Against MS program (WAMS).
In March 1988, Garr was arrested for trespassing in Mercury, Nevada, during a protest against nuclear weapons testing in the area.
In order to leverage the then new social media trend, Travelocity created an official page for the Roaming Gnome on MySpace in 2007 and later on Chatroulette, Twitter and Instagram.
As the series progressed, new commercials were aired with updated tag lines, You’ll Never Roam Alone, Go and Smell the Roses and Wander Wisely.
For the Wander Wisely campaign, Travelocity hired a new advertising agency, Campbell-Ewald, to feature the company as a trusted travel source.
In these commercials he discusses two myths, one where the gnome states that Travelocity's services are able to denounce the myth, and the other where the gnome ends up causing a mess.
In one such commercial, he visits the Bermuda Triangle to see if things really do disappear there, denouncing the myth even as objects disappear behind him until he also vanishes mid-sentence.
In 2006, a major promotion involved 20 Travelocity gnomes carefully hidden throughout the atrium of Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Kissimmee, Florida.
During the resort's Best of Florida Christmas promotion, guests were encouraged to find the gnomes to win a cruise to Alaska.
The original campaign was invented by Lisa Shimotakahara and Philip Marchington of McKinney & Silver, an advertising agency in Durham, North Carolina.
Avant Garde Studio, with lead artists, Amy Medford and Leonid Siveriver, worked with Philip Marchington to design and create the unique look of the Roaming Gnome.
Toponymic evidence suggests that Charlbury was an Anglo-Saxon settlement from an early date, and may be associated with 'Faerpinga in Middelenglum' listed in the Tribal Hidage of the 7th to 9th centuries.
On the outskirts of Charlbury is Lee Place, the former dower house of Ditchley and now the home of the Rosita Spencer-Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough.
The Church of England parish church of St Mary the Virgin is by tradition associated with Saint Diuma, the 7th century first Bishop of Mercia.
By 1197 or 1198 the church belonged to Eynsham Abbey, which held the advowson of the parish until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century.
In the 13th century the building was greatly enlarged: the chancel was extended eastwards and the south aisle, west tower and north and south chapels were added.
In the 15th century Perpendicular Gothic additions were made to the building: the tower was extended higher and a west door was inserted in its base, a clerestory was added to the nave and new windows were inserted in both aisles.
Street had the galleries removed and the church refitted with new pews, and in 1874 the chancel was rebuilt to the designs of another Gothic Revival architect, Charles Buckeridge.
The bell tower has a ring of six bells, all cast in 1716 by Abraham I Rudhall of Gloucester plus a Sanctus bell cast by an unknown founder in about 1599.
In 1660 a Chadlington Quaker who attended the Charlbury meetings was jailed for refusing to swear the Oath of Allegiance and in 1663 Henry Shad, a Quaker schoolmaster, was barred from teaching.
In 1680 a meeting at Cole's house to hear Thomas Taylor, a preacher from the north of England, was so crowded that the local Quakers decided to build a meeting house.
By 1689 the meeting house had a burial ground, but early in the next century membership declined and for a time meetings were discontinued.
After the First World War attendance declined rapidly and in the 1920s the meeting house was closed and turned into a preparatory school.
The Thomas Gilkes who helped to provide the land for the meeting house had a son of the same name who became a clockmaker in Sibford Gower.
Quakers had to be apprenticed to fellow Quakers, and those at Charlbury were part of a network of Quaker clockmakers in north Oxfordshire who were all linked by either family, former apprenticeship or both.
Charlbury Bowls Club plays in Oxfordshire Bowls League Division Two and the West Oxfordshire division of the Oxfordshire Short Mat Bowling Association.
Charlbury hosts a number of public events each year: the Riverside Music Festival in July which is free to enter (2017), the Wilderness Festival in August, the Charlbury Street Fair in September, which dates back to 1955, in September.
These developments hold many of the commuters that have made Bromsgrove into a dormitory town; it is within commuting distance of both Birmingham and Worcester.
In mathematics, a spectral space (sometimes called a coherent space) is a topological space that is homeomorphic to the spectrum of a commutative ring.
The category of spectral spaces, which has spectral maps as morphisms, is dually equivalent to the category of bounded distributive lattices (together with morphisms of such lattices).
Boris Tadić (, ; born 15 January 1958) is a Serbian politician who served as President of Serbia from 2004 to 2012.
He was elected to his first term on 27 June 2004, when Serbia was part of Serbia and Montenegro, and re-elected for a second term on 3 February 2008, this time as president of independent Serbia.
Prior to his presidency, Tadić served as the last Minister of Telecommunications of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and as the first Minister of Defence of Serbia and Montenegro.
Following his defeat in the 2012 presidential election and poor party ratings, he stepped down in November 2012, to take the position of the party's Honorary President.
After a split with the new leadership in January 2014, Tadić left the Democratic Party and formed his own New Democratic Party (later renamed Social Democratic Party) for the 2014 parliamentary election.
During his presidency, the EU has abolished visas for Serbian citizens traveling to the Schengen Area countries, Serbian government signed the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) and received an EU candidate status, as well as, Serbia has completed obligations to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
He became the first Serbian head of state or head of government to visit the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial and he launched an initiative for the Serbian parliament to adopt a resolution condemning the Srebrenica massacre.
The period of a coalition government led by the Tadić's Democratic Party was characterized by the challenges of the Kosovo declaration of independence and the global financial crisis, leading to low rates of economic growth.
He is widely regarded as a pro-Western leader, who also favors balanced relations with Russia, the United States and the EU.
Boris Tadić was born in Sarajevo, the capital of the People's Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a republic within the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia.
His parents frequently relocated between various cities and had moved to Sarajevo from Paris, where they pursued their doctoral studies, only a few days prior to his birth.
He graduated from the University of Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy with a degree in psychology, specifically social psychology in the department of clinical psychology.
He was arrested during his studies in July 1982 for protesting the arrest of a group of students, arrested for protesting against martial law in Poland and in support of the Solidarity movement.
Until 2003, Tadić also worked at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts at the University of Arts in Belgrade as a lecturer of political advertising.
Boris Tadić founded the Centre of Modern Skills (Centar modernih veština, CMV) in 1998, an NGO dealing with political and civic education, and the development of the political culture and dialogue.
The Democratic Party was part of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS), a grand coalition of anti-Milošević parties which played a key role in his downfall in 2000.
Tadić served as Minister of Telecommunications in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from November 2000 to March 2003 and as Minister of Defence from March 2003 until he started his presidential campaign in April 2004.
He served as an MP of the Democratic Party in the Chamber of Citizens of the Federal Assembly and later went on to be the acting parliamentary leader of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia coalition in 2003, the president of the Security Services Control Committee, as well as the parliamentary leader of the Democratic Party in the National Assembly of Serbia starting in February 2004.
The assassination of Zoran Đinđić in March 2003 led to a leadership convention of the Democratic Party in February 2004, which was won by Tadić against Zoran Živković.
He defeated Tomislav Nikolić of the nationalist Radical Party in the run-off of the 2004 presidential election with 53% of the vote.
The role of the People's Office is to make communication between the citizens and the President easier, and to cooperate between other state bodies and institutions, in order to enable the citizens of Serbia to exercise their rights.
The People's Office of the President is divided into four divisions: Legal Affairs Division, Social Affairs Division, Projects Division and General Affairs Division.
When he joined the Government of Serbia as the Minister in charge of the National Investment Plan in 2007, Tatjana Pašić became the new Director.
Tadić advocated cooperation and reconciliation of the former Yugoslav countries, strained by the burden of the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s.
On 6 December 2004, Boris Tadić made an apology in Bosnia and Herzegovina to all those who suffered crimes committed in the name of the Serbian people.
In July 2005, Tadić visited the Bosnian town of Srebrenica on the 10th anniversary of massacre of 8,000 Muslim men and boys by Bosnian Serb forces.
He was the first foreign head of state to visit Montenegro after it became independent on 8 June, and promised to continue friendly relations.
Serbia declared independence as well, and Tadić attended the first raising of the flag of Serbia at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
On 6 September 2007, Tadić was a signatory of the agreement that led to the formation of the Council for Cooperation between Serbia and Republika Srpska, together with Milorad Dodik and Vojislav Koštunica.
In late 2007, he stated that Serbia does not support a break-up of Bosnia and Herzegovina and that, as a guarantor of the Dayton Accords that brought peace to Bosnia, he supports its territorial integrity.
On 28 September 2005, he met with Pope Benedict XVI in Vatican City, making him the first Serbian head of state to be granted an audience with a pope.
Contrary to his earlier decision in the 2004 Kosovan parliamentary election, Tadić stated that he had no right to call on Kosovo Serbs to vote in the 2007 Kosovo parliamentary election, as the standards he asked for in 2004 were not reached.
Boris Tadić has advocated an early presidential election that is required under constitutional law, since the adoption of the new Constitution of Serbia, after the successful constitutional referendum in October 2006.
Tadić advocated integration of Serbia into the European Union but also territorial integrity of Serbia with sovereignty over Kosovo and Metohija.
In the second round on 3 February 2008, he faced Tomislav Nikolić and won the election with 2,304,467 votes (50.31 percent).
He also said that Belgrade would never recognise the independence of Kosovo and would never give up the struggle for its legitimate interests.
He stated that the problem of Kosovo was not solved by the unilaterally declared independence and that the decade-long problems between Serbs and Albanians still exist.
He said that former Hague Chief Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte had said that witnesses in the case against Haradinaj had been intimidated and even murdered to prevent them testifying to his crimes.
Following the Republic of Kosovo's formation of the Kosovo Security Forces in January 2009, he sent protest letters both to the and NATO Secretaries-General.
The letter states that Serbia views those forces as an illegal paramilitary organisation that constitutes a threat to the country's security and a danger to peace and stability in the Western Balkans.
Tadić drew attention to the fact that the KSF were formed on the basis of the Ahtisaari Plan that was never adopted by the Security Council and added that the creation of these forces constitutes a breach of the Serbian Constitution and international law, which is why they should be disbanded.
On 13 March 2008, President Tadić signed a decree dissolving the country's parliament and slating early parliamentary elections for 11 May.
The coalition list was led by Dragoljub Mićunović and it also included Sanjak Democratic Party, Serbian Renewal Movement and League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina.
He condemnеd remarks regarding the election made by Javier Solana and Pieter Feith and called on the European Union not to interfere with Serbian elections.
Tadić said that he was ready, authorised as per Vienna Convention, to sign the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) with the European Union if it were offered on 28 April, but not at the price of recognising Kosovo's unilaterally declared independence.
Tadić attended the signing of the SAA ceremony in Luxembourg on 29 April, where the Deputy Prime Minister Božidar Đelić signed the document on behalf of Serbia, as per the authorisation of the Government from December 2007.
On 27 June 2008, Tadić named Mirko Cvetković for the new Prime Minister, following the victory of his party coalition in parliamentary election that took place in May.
Tadić invoked his constitutional powers of Commander-in-Chief of the Military of Serbia and dismissed the Chief of the General Staff Zdravko Ponoš on 30 December 2008.
His initiative includes the proposal to reduce the number of the National Assembly members from 250 to 150 to better reflect the size of the country followed by changes in law on party registration and financing in order to consolidate similar parties and limit those with little support which should bring Serbia closer to a two-party system.
The second proposed amendment would change the administrative division of Serbia by dividing it into more autonomous regions in order to achieve a more balanced development.
This change would lead to Serbia's being divided into seven regions instead of the current asymmetrical division which includes two autonomous provinces but where the majority of the territory has no special autonomy.
They also discussed energy, particularly Europe's dependence on natural gas from just one source, and agreed that there is a need for a common EU energy policy that should also include the Balkan states.
On 21 May 2009, Dragan Marić, a former businessman who was revolted over the court decision in his dispute with the national air carrier Jat Airways, entered the Presidency office carrying two hand grenades and seeking an out-of-court settlement signed by President or Government.
Members of the Battalion of Military Police Cobras, providing security to the President of Serbia, managed to take one of the grenades immediately and isolate the attacker, however the perpetrator removed the pin from the second grenade and threatened to detonate it by releasing the lever.
The negotiations were handled by the special team of the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs, supported by the officials of the Ministry of Justice, and lasted for several hours until the man was disarmed and arrested.
After the incident, Tadić, who was present in the secured area of the building, congratulated the police and army special units, the security and negotiation team for doing a terrific job, peacefully and with no casualties and also said that problems, no matter what kind, cannot be resolved by force and by jeopardising citizens' lives.
In October 2009, after the Serbian national team qualified for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, Boris Tadić and other Serbian ministers celebrated at the end of the match in Belgrade's Red Star Stadium by toasting the winning team with a glass of champagne.
Some observers have describe that the coalition government led by Tadić's Democratic Party introduced some media control mechanisms, which were further developed by the Aleksandar Vučić regime to severely curtail media freedom.
Advisors to the President of the Republic carry out the analytical, advisory and other corresponding tasks for the needs of the President of the Republic as well as other expert tasks in relations of the President with the Government and the Parliament.
Previous advisors who served from 2005 to 2008 are Biserka Jevtimijević Drinjaković (economic issues), Vladimir Cvijan (legal issues) and Dušan T. Bataković and Leon Kojen (political issues).
On 5 April 2012, a day after announcing his decision, Tadić submitted his resignation to the speaker of parliament, Slavica Đukić-Dejanović, who then took over as acting president.
Amid controversy regarding the legitimacy of the third mandate and the legality of certain decisions, incumbent Tadić lost the presidential elections to his opponent, Tomislav Nikolić from the Serbian Progressive Party.
Nikolić has won 49.7% of the votes in the runoff vote, versus 47% for Tadić, according to data of the Serbian Center for Free Elections and Democracy.
The result was considered somewhat of a surprise, as Tadić had exploited his resignation for the presidential vote to coincide with parliamentary elections.
Tadić was criticized both inside and outside the party for the manoeuvre of calling early presidential elections without a clear goal, and entering them with over-confidence.
Dragan Đilas, long-time mayor of Belgrade and one of rare Democrats who remained in his seat after 2012 elections, announced that he would challenge Tadić in December party elections.
Before the electoral conference, Đilas and Tadić reached a face-saving agreement whereby Tadić would step down from the race and remain the party's honorary president, and Đilas thus became the only major candidate.
In early 2014, after losing the internal reelections in the Democratic Party to Dragan Đilas Tadić resigned from his position of honorary president and left the party.
Subsequently, a number of prominent party members all across defected from the party and stated that they intend to form a list in the forthcoming parliamentary election with Tadić as its leader.
Faced with the possibility of a eurosceptic government led by the Democratic Party of Serbia, the Serbian Radical Party and the post-Milošević Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), Tadić proposed a coalition with the SPS.
On 7 June 2008 at an assembly of the Main Board of the Democratic Party, Tadić compared the DS and the SPS saying that both grieved over the loss of their presidents, Đinđić and Milošević.
His address was heavily criticized by members of the Liberal Democratic Party, the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina and the Social Democratic Union.
The Declaration was again viewed as exonerating Milošević's regime and the G17 Plus, the Serbian Renewal Movement and League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina refused to sign it despite supporting the government.
It was also criticized by the right-wing Dveri and the Serbian Radical Party who called the declaration a reconciliation of the two wings of the League of Communists who split at the 8th Session.
In 2011 Report, the Freedom House described the media situation as generally free and stated that press operated with little government interference, although most media outlets are thought to be aligned with specific political parties.
Some observers have describe that the coalition government led by Tadić's Democratic Party introduced some media control mechanisms, which were further developed by the Aleksandar Vučić regime to severely curtail media freedom.
On 8 April 2011 the European Federation of Journalists wrote to Tadić that press freedom in Serbia was seriously compromised, that the safety of investigative journalists in Loznica and Belgrade was threatened and that independent newspapers were struggling against economic pressure and political interference, sometimes even against undue judiciary pressure through court decisions.
In September 2011 the Anti-Corruption Council, led by Verica Barać and with the support of Commissioner for Information of Public Importance Rodoljub Šabić, Ombudsman Saša Janković, and presidents of the two main journalism associations Ljiljana Smajlović and Vukašin Obradović, published a report detailing the state of the freedom of the press in Serbia from January 2008 to June 2010.
The Council concluded that the media in Serbia was overwhelmed by strong political pressure, that full control over the media was established, that no medium broadcast objective and complete information, and that events were censored or reported on selectively and incompletely.
The report concluded that marketing agencies owned by senior Democratic Party officials and Tadić's close associates, namely Srđan Šaper and Dragan Đilas, held a significant share of the advertising market.
On the other hand, the election observation organizations highlighted the many national-frequency televisions broadcast more affirmative content about the opposition parties.
Throughout their marriage they were actively involved in various socio-political activities including protests and petitions against human-rights abuses and so-called 'verbal delict' in SFR Yugoslavia in the 1980s as well as anti-Milošević protests in the 1990s.
Tadić's maternal grandfather was Strahinja Kićanović, a rich tradesman and land owner who unsuccessfully ran twice for the office of member of parliament.
Although this is today a well known fact stated by Boris Tadić at several occasions, Yugoslav communist authorities falsely listed Strahinja Kićanović as being killed simultaneously both at Jadovno and Jasenovac.
Tadić decided to donate the financial part of the award for humanitarian purposes for the maternity hospital in a town near Gračanica.
Tadić received the Quadriga award in September 2008, an annual German award sponsored by Werkstatt Deutschland, a non-profit organisation based in Berlin.
The award recognises four people or groups for their commitment to innovation, renewal, and a pioneering spirit through political, economic, and cultural activities.
The other three winners were Wikipedia, represented by Jimmy Wales; Eckart Höfling, Franciscan and director; and Peter Gabriel, musician and human rights activist.
In 2011, he won the North-South Prize awarded by the Council of Europe and distinguishing his deep commitment and actions for the promotion and protection of human rights, defense of pluralist democracy and the strengthening partnership and the North-South solidarity.
Saint-Hubert ( , , ) is a borough in the city of Longueuil, located in the Montérégie region of Quebec, Canada.
It had been a separate city prior to January 1, 2002, when it along with several other neighbouring south shore municipalities were merged into Longueuil.
At the height of the 1970 October Crisis, Quebec Labour Minister Pierre Laporte was kidnapped from his Saint-Lambert, Quebec home and held at Saint-Hubert Airport.
It was located in between the CN railway line, and Grande-Allée (formerly known as Chemin de la Côte-Noire), in between Rue Canon and Rue Jonergin (originally known as Ireland Street).
Croydon, or St. Lambert Annex, was a large neighbourhood located along Montée Saint-Hubert from Grande Allée to Boulevard de Maricourt at the railroad tracks.
Along the railroad tracks, it stretched from Montée Saint-Hubert to Rue Donat, while its borders became smaller closer to Grande Alleé.
The 1935 census indicated that the majority of residents along Grande-Allée were francophone, while the rest of the area had a substantial anglophone population.
The airport was once the location of a Canadian Air Force Base which ceased operation in 1995, but which continues to use the area.
Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings is an open-air museum of rescued buildings which have been relocated to its site in Stoke Heath, a district of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England.
Founded in 1963 and opened in 1967, the museum was conceived following the dismantling of a 15th-century timber-framed house in Bromsgrove in 1962 to provide a location for its reconstruction.
This building is known as the medieval 'Town House' today, though it has been known by other names in the past, including the 'Bromsgrove House' and the 'Merchant's House'.
The museum's collection comprises more than 30 buildings and structures which have been relocated from their original sites under threat of demolition, being rebuilt and restored at the museum.
This includes a fully functioning windmill and a post WW2 prefab house as used in many towns and cities after the Second World War to provide quick affordable replacements for houses destroyed by bombing.
The Arcon V prefabricated house was originally constructed on Moat Lane in Yardley, Birmingham and was transported to the museum in 1981.
Weddings and receptions are frequently held in The New Guesten Hall, a building at the museum which was built to incorporate the preserved timber roof of Guesten Hall, originally built next to Worcester Cathedral for entertaining the Prior's guests.
The museum's Victorian church, originally built in 1891 at Bringsty Common, Herefordshire, was opened and re-dedicated in 1996 and services are held there during the museum's open season.
The other exhibits, which span over 700 years of history, include a perry mill from Redditch, a toll house from Little Malvern, a fibreglass spire from Smethwick, an earth closet, a cruck-frame barn and a counting house.
The buildings and structures at the museum were all moved there to save them from demolition they would have faced in their previous locations, either through wilful destruction or neglect.
The town house, windmill and granary were dismantled, restored and fully reconstructed by Gunolt Daniel Greiner (born 1915 in Jugenheim) and his son Francis Benedict Joseph Greiner.
They then also dismantled, restored and fully reconstructed other 15th century buildings at various open-air museums in England, for example the Bayleaf house and Market Guildhall at the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum near Chichester.
Gunolt always kept to the original style of the buildings and when the original format was unknown he would put a simple plain unembellished section.
The buildings include industrial buildings (for example the chain shop), residential / domestic buildings (for example the prefab and toll house), religious buildings (such as the church), agricultural buildings (such as the windmill, barn and stable), buildings for entertainment (such as the cockpit) and others that don't fit these categories (such as the cell block, earth closet and ice house).
There are also three fully working analogue telephone exchanges (one of them a mobile TXE2), a manual switchboard and early automatic systems.
The collection shows the complete history of telephone kiosks in the UK from 1912 to the 1990s together with demonstrations of how telephone calls were routed and connected before the advent of digital technology.
Fiona Bruce was born in Singapore, to an English mother and a Scottish father, who had worked his way up from being a postboy to become regional managing director of Unilever.
She was educated at Gayton Primary School on the Wirral, the International School of Milan, and then from the age of 14 until 18 attended Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham College in New Cross, London.
During this period, she was briefly a punk, singing in rock bands and, at one point, colouring her hair blue for one week.
After this, she worked at a number of advertising agencies including Boase Massimi Pollitt (where she met her future husband, a company director).
She presented the programme as cover for main presenter Huw Edwards, as well as regularly on Fridays, until a presenter reshuffle in January 2003 to coincide with the retirement of Michael Buerk and the move of Peter Sissons to the BBC News channel.
In 2006, following a court case whereby British Airways requested that a Christian employee conceal her cross, because it infringed the airline's dress code, the BBC disclosed it had some concerns over the fact that Bruce often wore a cross necklace, although she was not banned from doing so.
During the documentary, Bruce – who has always publicly identified herself as a feminist – challenged Sugar's view that women should openly disclose their childcare commitments to a potential employer.
Her point was that if men were not required to declare their ability to meet the demands of their job, it was not right that women should do so.
Bruce, who had featured in advertising campaigns for the charity Women's Aid, was accused of having an axe to grind on the issue of domestic violence.
Many, including O'Connor, felt she let her own personal view on domestic violence as an issue of gender take over the programme.
There were also concerns that O'Connor had originally been invited to speak about CAFCASS and the Family Courts, yet the programme was changed to focus on domestic violence.
In cryptography, the ADFGVX cipher was a field cipher used by the German Army on the Western Front during World War I. ADFGVX was in fact an extension of an earlier cipher called ADFGX.
Invented by Lieutenant Fritz Nebel (1891–1977) and introduced in March 1918, the cipher was a fractionating transposition cipher which combined a modified Polybius square with a single columnar transposition.
Nebel designed the cipher to provide an army on the move with encryption that was more convenient than trench codes but was still secure.
Long messages sent in the ADFGX cipher were broken into sets of messages of different and irregular lengths to make it invulnerable to multiple anagramming.
His method of solution relied on finding messages with stereotyped beginnings, which would fractionate them and then form similar patterns in the positions in the ciphertext that had corresponded to column headings in the transposition table.
It was thus effective only during times of very high traffic, but that was also when the most important messages were sent.
He also used repeating sections of ciphertext to derive information about the likely length of the key that was being used.
Where the key was an even number of letters in length he knew, by the way the message was enciphered, that each column consisted entirely of letter coordinates taken from the top of the Polybius Square or from the left of the Square, not a mixture of the two.
One of the characteristics of frequency analysis of letters is that while the distributions of individual letters may vary widely from the norm, the law of averages dictates that groups of letters vary less.
He could then pair them up and perform a frequency analysis on the pairings to see if the pairings were only noise or corresponding to plaintext letters.
Once he determined the transposition scheme for one message, he would then be able to crack any other message that was enciphered with the same transposition key.
However, the claim that Painvin's breaking of the ADFGX cipher stopped the German Spring Offensive of 1918, while frequently made, is disputed by some.
Regrettably, Sophie de Lastours subscribes to the traditional French view that the solving of a German ADFGVX-telegram by Painvin at the beginning of June 1918 was decisive for the Allied victory in the First World War because it gave timely warning of a forthcoming German offensive meant to reach Paris and to inflict a critical defeat on the Allies.
Its aim had to be grossly exaggerated, which the German High Command did by spreading rumors that the attack was heading for Paris and beyond; the disinformation was effective and apparently still is.
However, the German offensive was not successful because the French had enough reserves at hand to stop the assault and so did not need to bring in additional reinforcements.
Moreover, it is usually overlooked that the basic version of the ADFGVX cipher had been created especially for the German Spring Offensive in 1918, meant to deal the Allies a devastating blow.
The Century Series is a popular name for a group of US fighter aircraft representing models designated between F-100 and F-106 which went into full production.
They included the first successful supersonic aircraft designs in the United States Air Force's service, which remained in active service well into the 1970s and 1980s with the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard.
Three later variants, the QF-100, QF-102 and QF-106, also continued in service, primarily as aerial target drones, until the late 1990s.
The F- series number sequence used in USAF was a continuance of the pre-USAF pursuit aircraft (P- series) numbering, stretching back as far as to the 1920s.
The numbering would continue sequentially up to the General Dynamics F-111, and after this number the 1962 United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system restarted the numbering back from 1.
These weapons, designed to destroy incoming nuclear-armed Soviet bombers even when not scoring a clear hit (due to the nuclear explosion radius, shock wave and radiation burst), were the only nuclear weapons in USAF arsenal at the time to be under sole control of their pilots (during a mission).
Similar advancements were made in this period by the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps with the Douglas F4D Skyray (later F-6), Vought F8U Crusader and F4H Phantom II carrier-based aircraft, but Naval Aviation lacked a similar naming group.
The City Beautiful Movement was a reform philosophy of North American architecture and urban planning that flourished during the 1890s and 1900s with the intent of introducing beautification and monumental grandeur in cities.
It was a part of the progressive social reform movement in North America under the leadership of the upper-middle class concerned with poor living conditions in all major cities.
The movement, which was originally associated mainly with Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, and Washington, D.C., promoted beauty not only for its own sake, but also to create moral and civic virtue among urban populations.
The movement began in the United States in response to crowding in tenement districts, a consequence of high birth rates, increased immigration and internal migration of rural populations into cities.
The movement flourished for several decades, and in addition to the construction of monuments, it also achieved great influence in urban planning that endured throughout the 20th century, particularly in regard to United States public housing projects.
The particular architectural style of the movement borrowed mainly from the contemporary Beaux-Arts and neoclassical architectures, which emphasized the necessity of order, dignity, and harmony.
The planning of the exposition was directed by architect Daniel Burnham, who hired architects from the eastern United States, as well as the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, to build large-scale Beaux-Arts monuments that were vaguely classical with uniform cornice height.
In this position, which Masqueray held for three years, he designed the following fair buildings in the prevailing Beaux Arts mode: the Palace of Agriculture; the cascades and colonnades; the Palace of Forestry, Fish, and Game; the Palace of Horticulture; and the Palace of Transportation.
Masqueray resigned soon after the fair opened in 1904, having been invited by Archbishop John Ireland of St. Paul to Minnesota to design a new cathedral for the city in the fair's Beaux-Arts style.
Other celebrated architects of the fair's buildings, notably Cass Gilbert, who designed the Saint Louis Art Museum, originally the fair's Palace of the Fine Arts, similarly employed City Beautiful ideas from the exposition throughout their careers.
An early use of the City Beautiful ideal with the intent of creating social order through beautification was the McMillan Plan, (1902) named for Michigan Senator James McMillan.
The plan emerged from the Senate Park Commission's redesigning of the monumental core of Washington, D.C. to commemorate the city's centennial and to fulfill unrealized aspects of the city plan of Pierre Charles L'Enfant a century earlier.
The Washington planners, who included Burnham, Saint-Gaudens, Charles McKim of McKim, Mead, and White, and Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., visited many of the great cities of Europe.
They hoped to make Washington monumental and green like the European capitals of the era; they believed that state-organized beautification could lend legitimacy to government during a time of social disturbance in the United States.
The implementation of the plan was interrupted by World War I but resumed after the war, culminating in the construction of the Lincoln Memorial in 1922.
In New Haven, John Russell Pope developed a plan for Yale University that eliminated substandard housing and relocated the urban poor to the peripheries.
Kansas City, Missouri, and Dallas, Texas, undertook the installation of parkways and parks under the influence of the movement, and Coral Gables, Florida would be an example of a city consistent with the City Beautiful philosophy.
The plan featured a dynamic new civic center, axial streets, and a lush strip of parkland for recreation alongside the city's lakefront.
Planned out as a suburb of Miami, Florida in the early 1920s by George Edgar Merrick during the Florida land boom of the 1920s, Coral Gables was developed entirely upon the City Beautiful movement, with obelisks, fountains, and monuments seen in street roundabouts, parks, city buildings and around the city.
Today, Coral Gables is one of Miami's most expensive suburban communities, long known for its strict zoning regulations which preserve the City Beautiful elements along with its Mediterranean Revival architecture style, which is prevalent throughout the city.
In Denver, Colorado, Mayor Robert W. Speer endorsed City Beautiful planning, with a plan for a Civic Center, disposed along a grand esplanade that led to the Colorado State Capitol.
The plan was partly realized, on a reduced scale, with the Greek amphitheater, Voorhies Memorial and the Colonnade of Civic Benefactors, completed in 1919.
The Andrew Carnegie Foundation funded the Denver Public Library (1910), which was designed as a three-story Greek Revival temple with a colossal Ionic colonnade across its front; inside it featured open shelves, an art gallery and a children's room.
Monuments and vistas were an essential feature of City Beautiful urban planning: in Denver, Paris-trained American sculptor Frederick MacMonnies was commissioned to design a monument marking the end of the Smoky Hill Trail.
Specifically, the Old Louisville neighborhood, that was planned and designed by Frederick Law Olmsted in the image of the City Beautiful movement, became the largest Victorian neighborhood in the United States.
Adjacent to the park is the St. James–Belgravia Historic District which hosts the annual St. James Court Art Show every October.
South of St. James Court is the University of Louisville's Belknap Campus which is home to Grawemeyer Hall and the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law.
Each of these areas of Louisville display the features of beautification and monumental grandeur that typified the City Beautiful movement of the 1890s.
It began when local minded residents became convinced that their city was unattractive, unhealthy, and filthy, and lacked the appearance and facilities appropriate to its status as Pennsylvania's state capital.
The causes of the city's defects were well known: industrialization in the previous half century had left the city poorly planned with unpaved streets and undeveloped water management systems.
Residents of Harrisburg suffered disease and illnesses caused by the lack of good filtration systems that could filter the sewage dumped by populations further up the Susquehanna River.
A disastrous fire that consumed the state capitol in 1897 had spawned new conversation about the suitability of Harrisburg as a state capital.
The improvement campaign was sparked by a riveting speech of conservationist Mira Lloyd Dock to the Harrisburg Board of Trade on December 20, 1900.
Dock wanted to publicly challenge the horrific conditions in Harrisburg, and set out to gain public sentiment in support of changing them.
Dock’s contemporary and closest ally in her drive for urban beautification was J. Horace McFarland, who was the president of the American Civic Association.
With McFarland and Dock working together, they were able to push the process of municipal improvement in Harrisburg by convincing prominent community leaders to donate money, and by gathering the support of the majority of citizens.
In April 1901, the Harrisburg Telegraph, a city newspaper, published a front-page article on the city’s problems, which stressed Dock’s message of beautification and recreation, paved streets, clean water, a city hall, land for parks, and a covered sewer interceptor along the river.
The following February 1901, the population voted in favor of a bond issue that funded $1.1 million in new constructions and city planning.
These improvements, combined with a new state capitol building in 1906, quickly transformed Harrisburg into a proud modern city by 1915.
In Memphis, the City Beautiful Commission was officially established by a city ordinance on July 1, 1930, making it the first and oldest beautification commission in the nation.
Costing nearly $1,000,000 (largely WPA funds) the City Beautiful Commission landscaped the bluffs with crape myrtle, redbuds, magnolias, dogwoods and Paul Scarlet roses.
Through the efforts of City Beautiful, Memphis gained the title of cleanest city in Tennessee in 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945 and 1946.
The City Beautiful staff grew to include 30 inspectors by 1954 who worked through these organizations to identify and improve eyesores.
In the 1920s, Palos Verdes Estates, California was established as a master planned community by noted American landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr..
Among its earliest structures were the buildings comprising Malaga Cove Plaza which were designed in a Mediterranean Revival style popular with the City Beautiful movement.
The term ‘beautility’ derived from the American city beautiful philosophy, which meant that the beautification of a city must also be functional.
There were no formal city beautiful organisations that led this movement in Australia; rather it was influenced by communications among professionals and bureaucrats, in particular architect-planners and local government reformers.
Beautification of the city of Hobart, for example, was considered a way to increase the city’s popularity as a tourist destination.
Melbourne’s grid plan was considered dull and monotonous by some people, and so the architect William Campbell designed a blueprint for the city.
Although City Beautiful, or artistic planning, became a part of comprehensive town planning, the Great Depression of the 1930s largely ended this fashion.
In 1842, the church, running out of space in its churchyard, established Trinity Church Cemetery and Mausoleum in Upper Manhattan between Broadway and Riverside Drive, at the Chapel of the Intercession (now The Church of the Intercession, New York), formerly the location of John James Audubon's estate.
A non-denominational cemetery, it is listed in the United States National Register of Historic Places and is the only remaining active cemetery in Manhattan.
There are two bronze plaques at the Church of the Intercession cemetery commemorating the Battle of Fort Washington, which included some of the fiercest fighting of the Revolutionary War.
The claim those prisoners are buried in Trinity Churchyard is disputed by Charles I. Bushnell, who argued in 1863 that Trinity Church would not have accepted them because it supported Great Britain.
Several notable Minneapolis buildings line the Mall, notably the IDS Center, the former Dayton's flagship store, Orchestra Hall, and the Hennepin County Library.
By the beginning of the 20th century, Nicollet Avenue had defined itself as the city's primary shopping street, as department stores such as G.W.
The first commercial district in Minneapolis centered on the intersection of Nicollet and Hennepin Avenues, an area known as Bridge Square and later the Gateway District.
When Bridge Square arose in 1906, residents bought hay, dry goods, and supplies at the city market and small stores on Hennepin and Nicollet.
Until demolition began in 1959, most of Gateway District remained: a notorious skid row, two parks, large commercial buildings, and hundreds of businesses.
The district was seen as suffering from social problems due to the number of flophouses, pawnshops, burlesque theaters, and bars in addition to a high crime rate.
With hopes to solve these problems, city officials began ordering improvements on the area in the 1950s, culminating in the Gateway Center Urban Renewal project, which was approved in 1958 by unanimous City Council vote.
The mall was originally an eight block, 3,200 feet, stretch of Nicollet Avenue that was converted into a curving, tree-lined mall closed to automobile traffic, with an 80-foot right-of-way.
The mall was later renovated in 1990 with parts of the underground portion being rebuilt at a cost of $22 million.
Nicollet Mall is known as the first transit mall in the United States, and it inspired the creation of transit malls in other cities, including Portland, Oregon and Denver, Colorado.
In May 2002, a bronze sculpture of Moore's character, created by Gwen Gillen and commissioned by TV Land, was dedicated at the corner of 7th Street and Nicollet Mall.
In late 2019, the original Dayton's signage, removed after the Marshall Field's rename in 2001, was restored to its original place.
The corporate descendant of Dayton's, Target Corporation, has a large presence on the Mall, with both their corporate headquarters at 10th Street and a two-level retail store at 9th.
There is Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th which was converted from the only Saks Fifth Avenue store in the Twin Cities upon its closing in 2004.
National retailers and local boutiques cluster around several locations, namely the Crystal Court, City Center and Gaviidae Common located on the Mall, although most of these buildings are empty on weekends and close by 8 pm on weekdays.
Over the years, Nicollet Mall has seen the closing of several national clothing brands, including Polo Ralph Lauren and Cole Haan, which was also its only store in the Twin Cities.
Fewer than ten stores of that kind still remain, including Gap, Banana Republic, Men's Wearhouse, Thomas Pink located on the skyway level of Macy's and aforementioned Brooks Brothers.
The Macy's downtown, was the division headquarters of Macy's North from 2006 to 2008 before it was integrated into Macy's East headquartered in New York City.
Since 2000, the century-old local menswear store Hubert White has resided inside the IDS Center, selling upscale men's clothing, mainly by Ermenegildo Zegna.
In addition to Target Corporation, Fortune 500 companies U.S. Bancorp and Xcel Energy also have their headquarters on Nicollet, while WCCO-TV (CBS Channel 4) broadcasts from studios on the south end of the Mall, including a 'window to the world' news studio on the first floor of their facility.
The Green Line, opened in June 2014, connects downtown Minneapolis to the main University of Minnesota campus and to downtown St. Paul.
Metro Transit has also introduced a free circulator bus along Nicollet Mall that runs from the Minneapolis Convention Center to the Nicollet Mall station.
Macy's, sponsor of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City and the Celebrate the Season Parade in Pittsburgh, was a sponsor, as was Minneapolis–based Target.
Located on Nicollet Mall at Peavey Plaza during its first two years, the village features live music, fireworks and local and international vendors.
It was first performed at the Royal National Theatre in London on 20 October 1988 with Michael Gambon and Miranda Richardson.
The dialogue does contain some identifiably contemporary British or Western cultural references, thereby showing its applicability to the Great Britain of the present, but the text of the play contains no explicit geographical place setting and no explicit time setting, rendering its setting in place and time simultaneously indeterminate and thus also broadly relevant.
The play involves four main characters: a Young Woman (Sara Johnson), an Elderly Woman, a Hooded Man (Charley Johnson, husband of the Young Woman) and an unnamed Prisoner (son of the Elderly Woman).
These characters are in stark contrast to the Officer, Sergeant and guards of the prison where the Hooded Man and the Prisoner are captives.
Pinter's play may allude to political and cultural contexts of Great Britain in the 1980s headed by the Conservative Party of Margaret Thatcher, which, for example, forbade the television networks from broadcasting the voice of the leader of Sinn Féin, Gerry Adams.
It is also accepted by the Database of Vascular Plants of Canada (VASCAN), referencing the in prep family treatment in the Flora of North America project.
It is especially prevalent in Alaska, where it is often found growing amongst plants like devil's club, which is nearly identical to in size and somewhat similar in appearance, and monkshood, a very toxic flower.
Indigenous North Americans have had a variety of uses for cow parsnip, often traveling long distances in the spring— or more—to find the succulent plant shoots.
Some of these furanocoumarins found in cow parsnip are known to have antimicrobial properties and are responsible for a rash producing erythematous vesicles (burn-like blisters) and hyperpigmentation that occurs after getting the clear sap onto one's skin.
Hong Kong comprises the Kowloon peninsula and 263 islands over 500 m, the largest being Lantau Island and the second largest being Hong Kong Island.
In terms of the districts of Hong Kong, while one of the 18 districts is called the Islands District, many islands of Hong Kong are actually not part of that district, which only consists of some twenty large and small islands in the southern and the south-western waters of Hong Kong.
At that time, the airport platform had not yet been built and the area of Tsing Yi increased later as a consequence of land reclamation.
Roger D. Griffin (born 31 January 1948) is a British professor of modern history and political theorist at Oxford Brookes University, England.
His principal interest is the socio-historical and ideological dynamics of fascism, as well as various forms of political or religious fanaticism.
Griffin obtained a First in French and German Literature from Oxford University, then began teaching History of ideas at Oxford Polytechnic (now Oxford Brookes).
Becoming interested in the study of extremist right-wing movements and regimes which have shaped modern history, Griffin obtained a PhD from Oxford University in 1990.
In May 2011, he received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Leuven in recognition of his services to the comparative study of fascism.
In other words, it seeks, by directly mobilising popular energies or working through an elite, to eventually conquer cultural hegemony for new values, to bring about the total rebirth of the 'ultranation', whether conceived as a historic nation-state or a race, from its present decadence, whether the nation is conceived as a historically formed nation-state or a racially determined 'ethnos'.
Conceived in these terms, fascism is an ideology that has assumed a large number of specific national permutations and several distinct organizational forms.
Moreover, it is a political project that continues to evolve to this day throughout the Europeanized world, though it remains highly marginalised compared with the central place it occupied in inter-war Europe, and its central role in identity politics has been largely replaced by non-revolutionary forms of radical right-wing populism.
Griffin's approach, though still highly contested in some quarters, has had an enduring impact on the comparative fascist literature of the last 25 years, and draws on the work of George Mosse, Stanley Payne, and Emilio Gentile in highlighting the revolutionary and totalising politico-cultural nature of the fascist revolution (in marked contrast with Marxist approaches).
The fascist attempt to institute a different civilisation and a new temporality in the West found its most comprehensive expression in the 'modernist states' of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler.
Since 1945 fascism has diversified and can no loner gain the critical mass to form a mass movement of populist charismatic, so that it is reduced to terroristic attacks to live out its war on liberal democratic society and those it sees as 'enemies' of the 'true' nation/race and its rebirth.
Three people have been arrested and charged in connection with the killing; two were convicted of first-degree manslaughter and murder' the third pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice.
Eugene Mallove held a BS (1969) and MS degree (1970) in aeronautical and astronautical engineering from MIT and a ScD degree (1975) in environmental health sciences from Harvard University.
He had worked for technology engineering firms such as Hughes Research Laboratories, the Analytic Science Corporation, and MIT's Lincoln Laboratory, and he consulted in research and development of new energies.
In 1981, he and Gregory Matloff wrote a paper about using solar sails to reach Alpha Centauri, the nearest star to our sun.
They calculated that the trip would take several hundred years and that the ship would have to withstand accelerations of 60 g. They wrote several papers on that and other proposed methods of space travel, such as laser propulsion, the Bussard ramjet, and exotic fuels that could give very high power.
Mallove taught science journalism at MIT and Boston University and was chief science writer at MIT's news office, a position he left as part of a dispute with the school over cold fusion.
Mallove resigned from MIT in 1991 because he said MIT was hiding cold fusion data, partly to protect funding for and reputation of traditional fusion research.
Mallove was a member of the Aurora Biophysics Research Institute (ABRI), one of the founders of the International Society of the Friends of Aetherometry, a member of its Organizing Committee, a co-inventor of the HYBORAC technology and one of the main evaluators of ABRI technologies.
His alternative energy research included studying the reproduction of Wilhelm Reich's Orgone Motor by Dr. Paulo Correa and Alexandra Correa, as well as the evolution of heat in the Reich-Einstein experiment.
He was among the scientists and engineers who claimed to have confirmed the output of excess electric energy from tuned pulsed plasmas in vacuum arc discharges.
In 1992, Mallove was a consultant on the ERR (Electromagnetic Radiation Receiver) project at the Noah’s Ark Research Facility in the Philippines.
Eugene Mallove was killed on May 14, 2004 in Norwich, Connecticut, while cleaning a recently vacated rental property owned by his parents, the home he grew up in.
On February 11, 2009, the State of Connecticut announced a $50,000 reward leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the murder.
On April 2, 2010, the police made two arrests in connection with the murder and said that more arrests were expected.
Court testimony indicated that Mallove may have been killed by an evicted tenant who was angry about belongings being disposed of during the clearout.
Mozelle Brown was convicted of Mallove's murder in October 2014 and on January 6, 2015 was sentenced to 58 years in prison.
Schaffer's girlfriend, Candace Foster, testified against Brown and Schaffer, and pleaded guilty to a charge of hindering prosecution and tampering with evidence.
Ma Wan is an island of Hong Kong, located between Lantau Island and Tsing Yi Island, with an area of .
The Lantau Link that passes through Ma Wan was constructed in the mid-1990s as part of the Hong Kong Government's Rose Garden plan to connect the new Hong Kong International Airport to the city centre.
A theme park, named Ma Wan Park was built to accompany the housing project, with its first phase opened on 1 July 2007.
This is angled to the North West, and has its direction controlled by the major tectonic zone it is in called the Linhua Shan Fault System that extends from the coast of Guangdong to Fujian.
Remains have been found from the Mid-Neolithic Age (about 3000 BC), the late Neolithic Age (about 2000 BC), the early to late Bronze Age of coastal South China (1500–500 BC), the period of the Warring States to the Han dynasty (206 BC −220 AD), the Tang dynasty (618–917 AD) and the Qing dynasty (1644–1911 AD).
In 1997, a joint excavation by the Antiquities and Monuments Office and the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences found complete Neolithic human skeletal remains in tombs at the Tung Wan Tsai North site.
More recently in the last 250 years it was a small fishing village named Tin Liu, only accessible by boats or ferries.
24 housing units were donated and built by the United States in 1965, built on a top of a hill near the Fishermen's Association.
As part of the compensation package, they could choose either a 3-storey traditional village house of or 3 separate units, each of in one single block.
Park Island is a private housing estate that was mainly developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties as part of the Ma Wan Development joint venture project and completed from 2002 to 2006 in six phases.
The island is now connected to Tsing Yi by the Tsing Ma Bridge (a suspension bridge), and to Lantau Island by the Kap Shui Mun Bridge (a cable-stayed bridge).
Park Island Transport Co., Ltd. operates bus services from Park Island to Tsing Yi MTR Station, Kwai Fong Metroplaza, Hong Kong International Airport, Tsuen Wan West and Tsuen Wan (close to the Tsuen Wan MTR station).
Starting from 3 July 2008, urban taxi were permitted access into Ma Wan during between 8 pm and 7 am the following morning to meet residents' transport needs.
Private vehicles are generally not permitted to enter the island, an arrangement which also exists in Discovery Bay on the nearby Lantau Island; however a permit can be requested from the Transport Department of Hong Kong.
Minibuses are not allowed, but the Park Island management company operates cars in case of emergency or special situations, though their availability is not guaranteed.
Another route to Tsuen Wan Pier (near West Rail Tsuen Wan West Station) was discontinued on 13 December 2012 after 10 years of operation.
Droylsden is a town in Tameside, Greater Manchester, England, east of Manchester city centre and west of Ashton-under-Lyne, with a population at the 2011 Census of 22,689.
One suggestion as to the source of that nickname is that once a year, some of the townsfolk used to watch an annual carnival by bringing a pig and sitting it on a wall to watch the passing entertainment with them.
The first machine woven towel in the world – the terry towel – was produced by W. M. Christy and Sons of Fairfield Mills, in Droylsden, in 1851.
William Miller Christy's son, Henry Christy, had brought back a looped towel from Turkey in the 1840s, which Christy's managed to copy on an adapted loom.
The marina will have 92 three and four-bedroom houses, and 291 one and two-bedroom apartments as well as waterside offices, restaurants, and shops.
Droylsden is located at (53.4826, −2.1582), about to the east of Manchester city centre, close to Ashton-under-Lyne, Failsworth, Clayton, Openshaw and Newton Heath.
Droylsden is not directly served by railway with the nearest station being Fairfield railway station approximately 1 mile south of the town centre, providing a service to Manchester Piccadilly and Rose Hill Marple.
The town's former railway station was open between 1846 and 1968 and located on Lumb Lane, approximately 1 mile north of the town centre on the Huddersfield Line.
From 2013, Droylsden became a terminus on the East Manchester line of the Manchester Metrolink tram network, with services running to Manchester and Bury.
The town has frequent bus services, the majority operated by Stagecoach Manchester, including the high frequency 216 service running between Manchester city centre and Ashton-under-Lyne.
In January 2009, the closure of Droylsden School Mathematics and Computing College for Girls and Littlemoss High School for Boys was approved by Tameside Council.
This was conditional on the Secretary of State signing an Academy Funding Agreement by 30 April 2009 for the two schools to be replaced by Droylsden Academy.
Droylsden Academy, which was sponsored by Tameside College, opened in September 2009, in the existing buildings of the two former schools.
The new Droylsden Academy building opened on the school site of Droylsden School Mathematics and Computing College for Girls in January 2012.
It became an urban district of the administrative county of Lancashire under the Local Government Act 1894, and was granted its arms on 16 October 1950.
In 1974, as a result of the Local Government Act 1972, Droylsden became a part of the Metropolitan Borough of Tameside within the metropolitan county of Greater Manchester.
In 1889 Little Droylsden was subsumed into Openshaw, and in 1890 Clayton was ceded from Droylsden's control to become part of Manchester.
Manchester's expansion to the east and the increase in the electorate, resulted in the seat being divided in the 1950 boundary change.
who won the Conference North league in 2006–07, gaining promotion to the Conference National for the 2007–08 season, although they were relegated back to Conference North for 2008–09, and into the Northern Premier League Premier Division in 2012–13.
Survey township, sometimes called Congressional township, as used by the United States Public Land Survey System, refers to a square unit of land, that is nominally six (U.S. Survey) miles (~9.7 km) on a side.
Each 36-square-mile (~93 km) township is divided into 36 one-square-mile (~2.6 km) sections, that can be further subdivided for sale, and each section covers a nominal .
The townships are referenced by a numbering system that locates the township in relation to a principal meridian (north-south) and a base line (east-west).
For example, Township 2 North, Range 4 East is the 4th township east of the principal meridian and the 2nd township north of the base line.
Prior to standardization, some of the Ohio Lands (the United States Military District, the Firelands and the Connecticut Western Reserve) were surveyed into townships of on each side.
A survey township is used to establish boundaries for land ownership, while a civil township is a form of local government.
County lines, especially in western states, usually follow survey township lines, leading to the large number of rectangular counties in the Midwest, which are agglomerations of survey townships.
The town lies in the valley of the River Waveney, round a mere covering and up to deep, although there is another of mud.
Diss has a number of historic buildings, including an early 14th-century parish church and an 1850s corn exchange still in operation.
It is recorded as being in the king's possession as demesne (direct ownership) of the Crown, there being at that time a church and a glebe of 24 acres.
This was considered to be worth £15 per annum, which had doubled by the time of William the Conqueror, it being then estimated at £30 with the benefit of the whole hundred and half, belonging to it.
From this it appears that it was still relatively small, but it grew shortly afterwards when it subsumed Watlingsete Manor, a neighbouring area, which was as large as Diss, and seemingly fuller of inhabitants, according to the geld or tax that it paid.
This was afterwards called Walcote, and includes part of Heywode, as appears from its joining to Burston, into which town this manor extended.
The Testa de Neville states that it was not known whether Diss was rendered unto Richard de Lucy as an inheritance or for his service, but states that, without doubt it was for the latter.
In 1152 Richard de Lucy received the right to hold a market in Diss, and prior to 1161 he gave a third of a hundred at Diss (Heywood or Hewode) together with the market in frank marriage with his daughter Dionisia to Sir Robert de Mountenay.
After Richard de Lucy's death in 1179, the inheritance of the other two parts of the hundred of Diss passed to his daughter Maud, who married Walter FitzRobert.
The whole estate later fell into the hands of the Lordship of the FitzWalters (who were raised to Baron FitzWalters in 1295) and in 1299 the then Lord FitzWalter obtained a charter of confirmation for a fair every year at his manor of Diss, to be held around the feast of Saint Simon and Jude (28 October), and several days after.
A grant made in 1298 to William Partekyn of Prilleston (now Billingford) granted, for homage and half a mark of silver, two homesteads in Diss, with liberty of washing his wool and cloths in Diss Meer.
It seems as if the church of Diss was built by the same Lord, as his arms were cut into the stone of the south porch of the church several times.
Soon after the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, Edward Plantagenet, Duke of York and Earl of Rutland, came to hold Diss manor, hundred, and market, together with Hemenhale; and the title of Lord FitzWalter became attached to the estate.
It was part of a much larger estate that included Hemenhale and Diss manors, with the hundred of Diss in Norfolk, the manors of Shimpling and Thorne in Suffolk, of Wodeham-Walter (now Woodham Walter), Henham, Leiden (now part of Leaden Roding), Vitring, Dunmow Parva (now Little Dunmow), Burnham (possibly equating to the modern village of Burnham-on-Crouch), Winbush, and Shering (now Sheering) in Essex.
The market is held every Friday (except Good Friday and other holidays, when it is rescheduled to the preceding Thursday): a variety of local traders sell fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, fish and cheeses.
The workmen were removing the brick flooring of one of the ground floor rooms and excavating the soil beneath, to insert the joists of a boarded floor, when they discovered a hoard of coins.
Beneath the bricks, they came upon the original hard clay floor, and in the centre of the room, at about from the surface, the remains of an earthen vessel were found, containing over 300 coins.
They include the Church of England (St Mary the Virgin), the Catholic (St Henry Morse), and Methodist, Baptist and community churches.
Diss has produced a few national and international sports stars, three footballers (see the section Notable People), and the Great Britain judo team member Colin Oates, who attended Diss High School.
According to the 2011 UK census, Driffield parish had a population of 13,080, an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 11,477.
A Bronze Age mound outside Driffield was excavated in the 19th century, the contents of which are now kept in the British Museum.
The town is home to Driffield Show, one of the UK's largest one-day annual agricultural show, as well as the Driffield Steam and Vintage Rally - an event held each August showcasing historical vehicles including traction engines, fairground organs, tractors and vintage cars and trucks.
The rally is particularly known for the Saturday evening road-run of the steam engines and other vehicles into Driffield town centre, an event which invariably attracts large crowds of spectators.
Driffield also has a small community hospital (known as Alfred Bean Hospital), a fire station, a local police station, and several churches.
Driffield School & Sixth Form is a large secondary school that also contains a sixth form, and so offers education up to A level standard.
There are nine churches in Driffield, which work together as 'Churches Together in Driffield' with the exception of the Congregational Church and Bourne Methodist Church.
The Anglican church dedicated to All Saints was designated a Grade I listed building in 1963 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.
It is also tradition for the townspeople of Driffield to congregate in the market place on New Year's Eve and listen for the church bells ringing in the new year.
Now to this present day, there are two main men's team who both play at the second highest league in the East Riding.
Driffield also has its own football league, Driffield and District League and was founded in 1919 and currently only has 1 division which consists of 9 teams from within Driffield and district.
First class cricketers Andrew Gale, Richard Pyrah, Steven Patterson, Jonny Bairstow, Ishara Amerasinghe and Abid Ali have all played for the club.
Driffield RUFC is a member of the RFU and Yorkshire RFU, playing its senior fixtures in the North 1 East league.
The club field four senior teams, a colts team and mini/juniors (at every age group from under 7's to under 17's).
Driffield Hockey Club play their home matches at Driffield Sports Centre and currently field three men's teams and four ladies' teams, as well as juniors and vets sections.
For a catchment area the size of Driffield, the club is relatively successful, with both the men's and ladies first XIs being promoted from their respective YHA Yorkshire Premier Divisions at the end of the 2013–14 season (6th tier of English Hockey) to the North League Division 2 East and North League Division 2 South East respectively (5th tier of English Hockey).
Driffield has a sports centre located on Bridlington Road, which opened in 2009 replacing the old sports centre (now owned by Driffield School).
Francis David Langhorne Astor CH (5 March 1912 – 7 December 2001) was an English newspaper publisher and member of the Astor family.
David Astor was born in London, England, the third child of American-born English parents, Waldorf Astor, Viscount Astor (1879–1952) and Nancy Witcher Langhorne (1879–1964).
The product of an immensely wealthy business dynasty, and raised in the grandeur of a great country estate where the political and intellectual elite gathered, he nevertheless showed compassion for the poor and those who were victims of destructive socioeconomic policies.
An extremely shy man, David Astor was greatly influenced by his father but as a young man he rebelled against his strong-willed mother.
After an education at West Downs School in Winchester in Hampshire, followed by Eton College in Berkshire, he attended Balliol College, Oxford, where he suffered a nervous breakdown and left in 1933 without graduating.
He was psycho-analysed by Anna Freud and during World War II he served with distinction as a Royal Marines officer and was wounded in France.
While at Balliol in 1931 he met a young anti-fascist German, named Adam von Trott zu Solz, who was to become the most influential figure in his life.
With his father's advancing age, and high inheritance taxes in England, in 1945 David Astor and his brother transferred ownership of the paper to a board of trustees.
The trust contained restrictions so that the paper could not be subject to a hostile takeover but also stipulated that its profits go towards improving the newspaper, promoting high journalistic standards, and required a portion of the profits to be donated to charitable causes.
In 1945 Astor purchased the Manor House at Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire, living there and restoring the nearby Abbey in the village.
But, he took a more conservative view on the economic problems caused by high taxes and believed British trades unions had become too powerful and were hindering economic progress.
In 1956, David Astor and his newspaper came under fire when it accused Prime Minister Anthony Eden of lying to the people about important matters in Suez Crisis.
Although he ultimately was shown to have been right, the situation harmed the paper's image and its circulation and advertising revenue began to decline.
He also voiced strong opposition to the apartheid policy of the white South African government and supported the African National Congress (ANC).
Nelson Mandela would refer to Astor as one of the best and most loyal of friends who had supported the ANC when other newspapers ignored them.
Despite his great wealth, David Astor lived modestly, putting his money to good use through a network of benefactions and charities.
In April 1962, Astor gave a speech about the roots of political extremism, which led to the formation of the Columbus Centre, led by Professor Norman Cohn, and which became a research centre at the University of Sussex.
In 1977 the paper was sold by his family to Robert O. Anderson, the American owner of the Atlantic Richfield Oil Company.
In his retirement Astor continued to support a number of charities and to finance pressure groups for causes that he strongly believed in.
For his contributions to British society, he was made a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour in 1994.
During the 1980s and 1990s, he campaigned alongside Lord Longford to try and gain parole for the Moors Murderer Myra Hindley, claiming that she was a reformed character and no threat to society, and had therefore qualified for parole from the life sentence imposed on her in 1966 for her role with Ian Brady in the murder of three children.
In September 1990, he even claimed that her continued imprisonment was comparable to that of Nelson Mandela, who had just been released from prison in South Africa after serving 27 years of a life sentence for his part in the battle against the oppression of black people under that country's apartheid regime.
Along with Longford, he claimed that she was being kept in prison to serve the interests of successive Home Secretaries and their governments (who had the power to decide on minimum terms for life sentence prisoners from 1983 until 2002); these politicians gradually increased Hindley's original minimum of 25 years to 30 years and from 1990 to a whole life tariff.
The campaign to win parole for Myra Hindley was unsuccessful, with her appeal against the whole life tariff being rejected three times by the High Court, and she remained in prison until her death in November 2002, almost a year after Astor's own death.
Astor had been a supporter of Nelson Mandela and an opponent of South Africa's apartheid regime since shortly after he was jailed in 1964.
He continued to support the campaign for Mandela's release until he was finally set free from prison in February 1990, and continued to oppose the apartheid regime until it was finally completely abolished four years later, just before Mandela became the prime minister of South Africa.
In September 1990, he controversially compared Myra Hindley's continuing imprisonment to the long sentence that Nelson Mandela served for his part in the anti-Apartheid activities of black South Africans, claiming that Myra Hindley was being kept in prison longer than necessary to serve the interests of successive Home Secretaries and their governments.
Lord Longford and others who campaigned for Hindley's release would also go on to claim that Hindley was kept in prison for this reason.
Astor was one of the founders of the Koestler Trust in the 1960s and continued to support the scheme until his death.
The Koestler Trust was set up as a charity to promote creative arts in prisons; Astor was the Trust's chair for a period.
David Astor died in December 2001 at the age of 89, and is buried in All Saints' parish churchyard, Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire, in a grave with a simple headstone bearing only his name and years of birth and death.
It lies on the edge of the Fens, on the River Great Ouse, approximately 11 miles south of King's Lynn, 39 miles west of Norwich and 30 miles north of Cambridge.
The civil parish has an area of 5.2 km² and in the 2011 census had a population of 9,994 in 4,637 households.
It was an agricultural centre, developing as a market for the produce of the Fens with a bridge across the Ouse.
Notable buildings in the town include its mediaeval parish church, dedicated to St Edmund, and Victorian clock tower, constructed in 1878.
In 2004 the town completed a regeneration project on the Market Place, moving the market to the town hall car park.
The decorative town sign depicts the crown and arrows of St Edmund with horses to show the importance of the horse fairs in the town's history.
The town signal box is one of five rare examples across the region to have been granted Grade II listed status in 2013.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport listed 26 signal boxes across the country as part of a joint project between Network Rail and English Heritage to secure the nation's railway signalling heritage.
Downham's signal box was built in 1881 for the Great Eastern Railway Company but will soon be decommissioned as part of a 30-year modernisation project.
It became the first primary education academy sponsored by the CWA Academy Trust, founded by the College of West Anglia, in 2014.
Before 1920, the area had no houses, apart from a shooting range close to Rangefield Road and areas of farmland in the period around 1890.
Following the First World War, local boroughs like Deptford, Bermondsey as well as the London County Council [LCC] felt it was essential to reduce overcrowding by erecting more residential property.
The final spur for LCC to commence works in the area was the new law of 1923 that provided government funding to enable residential developments to be built by local governments.
The area of the estate was in the region of 522 acres (2.1 km²), with 461 acres (1.9 km²) in the Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham, (from 1965 the London Borough of Lewisham) and 61 acres (0.2 km²) in the Municipal Borough of Bromley (from 1965 the London Borough of Bromley); the estate stretched for about 1.25 miles (2 km).
With less than 20 houses to an acre, and lots of greenery and shops, the area was of relative low population density.
Those who were the first to live on the Downham estate late in the 1920s had mostly been relocated from certain less pleasant parts of the inner city like Rotherhithe and East London, and these new homes were of a much higher standard than their previous homes.
In order to show their objection, in 1926 those who lived in Alexandra Crescent (at that time, a private street) in Bromley had appointed Albert Frampton, who had developed Alexander Crescent, to build a dividing wall (the Downham Wall).
This was because the wealthier private home owners in Bromley wanted to prevent the working class 'vulgar people' from the Downham estate from accessing the neighbouring middle-class area.
That pre-war class wall was a stark reminder of the great increase in gated communities, barrier-walls and the use of private security by wealthier people in various parts of the growing metropolis.
Meanwhile, life carried on progressing in Downham as the first Shopping Week took place in June 1929, and both the Downham Tavern and Splendid Super Cinema opened in 1930.
By the 1930s, lack of clarity had arisen in regard to responsibilities in relation to the dividing class wall following complaints by LCC to authorities at Lewisham Council.
The Town Council of Bromley was firm in its decision not to take down the wall, and curiously neither the LCC nor Lewisham Council felt able to do it either.
Despite this minor glitch, the Downham Estate illustrates the nature of developments of council housing in Britain in the period between the first and second world wars.
The Downham estate and other projects of this nature around the time (for example Becontree) were built in efforts to reduce the serious housing problem around the city.
The government felt the need to demonstrate the huge potential of public-sector home development especially as there was a need to de-slum and modernise the city.
The central government also funded and subsidised such development project which were done in the name of the London County Council.
Among many new developments, Downham Health Clinic opened in Churchdown Road in 1932, Good Shepherd School opened in Moorside Road in 1933, Beckenham Place Park Recreation Area opened in 1936, and both the Downham Library and the Swimming Pool were opened to the public in June 1937.
Lying between Catford and Bromley, and having Downham Way as the apparent arterial road, Downham is a very busy localised town centre, selling everything from car parts to Indian food, and fishing tackle to a local locksmith.
While the area has recently lost Woolworths and all its banks such as Natwest, Woolwich and finally Barclays, new facilities include Downham Sports and Leisure Centre as well as a Tesco Local.
Marks and Spencers now serves as the grocery shop at the BP station which stands on the spot where the once vibrant 2244-seater Splendid Cinema was in the 1930s.
Bonus Pastor Academy is located in Downham with two sites, Churchdown and Winlaton and has a large playing fields at Whitefoot Lane with the Green Chain Walk running through.
Neighbourhood Renewal Unit and Lewisham Strategic Partnership have been implementing many projects in the area which include Housing and Environment, Health, Crime and Community Safety, Neighbourhood Management, Community Development, Children and Young People and Employment and Enterprise.
Primary Schools include Launcelot Primary School, Downderry Primary School, Merlin Primary School (now also part of the academy), Good Shepherd Primary School, Rangefield Primary School and Pendragon Special School for students aged 11 years to 16 years.
Benefit tourism is a political term coined in the 1990s and later used for the perceived threat that a huge number of citizens from eight of the ten new nations given membership in the European Union in the 2004 enlargement of the European Union would move to the existing member states to benefit from their social welfare systems rather than to work.
This threat was in several countries used as a reason for creating temporary work or benefit restrictions for citizens from the eight new member states.
A major study by the Centre for Research and Migration at University College London, published in 2009, demonstrated that EU migrants to Britain from the new member countries were better educated, more likely to be in employment and much less likely to be claiming benefits than UK-born nationals.
In 2013 the European Commission ordered an EU wide study on the impact of mobile EU citizens on national social security systems.
This study showed that from 2001 to 2011, EU migrants that recently arrived in the UK had paid £20 billion in taxes to the UK treasury, after deduction of the benefits they received in that same period.
The Collegium Musicum was one of several types of musical societies that arose in German and German-Swiss cities and towns during the Reformation and thrived into the mid-18th century.
Generally, while societies such as the (chorale) cultivated vocal music for church performance and the convivium musicum discussed musical philosophy over a banquet, the collegia musica performed both vocal and instrumental music for pleasure; they focused on instrumental music as it rose in stature during the Baroque era.
Telemann went on to promote professional concerts by Frankfurt and Hamburg collegia in the late 1720s, thus fostering the emergence of public subscription concerts in Germany.
In 1909, Hugo Riemann refounded the Leipzig collegium within the University, initiating a widespread modern trend in German and American universities to foster the performance of early music on original instruments or replicas.
The Collegium Musicum (Hamburg) was an amateur musical ensemble founded in Hamburg in the 17th century by Matthias Weckmann, as a complement to the professional Hamburger Ratsmusik.
Lieutenant-Colonel John Jacob Astor V, 1st Baron Astor of Hever, DL (20 May 1886 – 19 July 1971) was an American-born English newspaper proprietor, politician, sportsman, military officer, and a member of the Astor family.
Astor was born in Manhattan, New York City, in 1886, the fourth child of William Waldorf Astor, 1st Viscount Astor (1848–1919), and Mary Dahlgren Paul (1858–1894).
He was raised on an estate purchased by his father at Cliveden-on-Thames in Buckinghamshire and was educated at Eton College and at New College, Oxford.
Upon his father's death in 1919, Astor inherited Hever Castle near Edenbridge, Kent, where he lived the life of an English country gentleman.
Astor represented Great Britain in rackets at the 1908 Summer Olympics, winning the gold medal in the men's doubles competition together with Vane Pennell, and winning bronze in the men's singles event.
Astor had been the British Public Schools rackets champion in 1904–1905, and in the same year as his Olympic competition he played singles and doubles in the British Army rackets championships.
Despite a later loss of leg, he was able to play and win against younger opponents at squash on a prosthetic limb.
He served in the 1st Life Guards, which he joined in 1906 after a year at Oxford, and was Aide-de-Camp to Baron Hardinge, Viceroy of India between 1911 and 1914.
After recovering he returned to the Western Front, rising to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel commanding 520 Household Siege Battery of the Royal Garrison Artillery and awarded the Légion d'Honneur as a Chevalier.
He was Honorary Colonel of the Kent and Sussex Heavy Regiment, Royal Artillery, between 1927 and 1946 and Honorary Colonel of the 23rd London Regiment, between 1928 and 1949.
In World War II he was Lieutenant-Colonel of the 5th Battalion, City of London Home Guard, a unit drawn from newspaper employees, between 1940 and 1944.
From her previous marriage to Major Lord Charles George Francis Mercer Nairne Petty-Fitzmaurice, who was killed in action at Ypres in 1914, Lady Violet had two children, Margaret and George.
In addition to his newspaper business, John Jacob V served in politics, as Alderman of the London County Council between 1922 and 1925, and in the Parliament of the United Kingdom for 23 years as Unionist Member of Parliament (MP) for Dover from 1922 to 1945.
John Jacob V and Violet are buried together on the grounds of Hever Castle, which, since 1983, has been owned by Broadland Properties Limited and is a major tourist attraction.
The special territories of the European Union are 21 territories of EU member states which, for historical, geographical, or political reasons, enjoy special status within or outside the European Union.
The Outermost Regions were recognised at the signing of the Maastricht Treaty in 1992 and confirmed by the Treaty of Lisbon in 2007.
The Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union states that both primary and secondary European Union law applies automatically to the outermost regions, with possible derogations due to the particularities of these territories.
The Overseas Countries and Territories are recognised by the Article 198 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union which allows them to opt into EU provisions on the freedom of movement for workers and freedom of establishment, and invites them to join the Overseas Countries and Territories Association (OCTA) in order to improve cooperation with the European Union.
Collectively, the special territories encompass a population of about 6 million people and a land area of about 2,743,510 square kilometres (1,060,000 sq mi).
The vast majority of this land area, 2,166,000 square kilometres (660,000 sq mi), is represented by Greenland, while the largest region by population, the Canary Islands, accounts for more than a third of the total special territories population.
The Outermost regions (OMR) are territories forming part of a member state of the European Union but situated a significant distance from mainland Europe.
All form part of the European Union customs area, however some fall outside of the Schengen Area and the European Union Value Added Tax Area.
Azores and Madeira are integral parts of the Portuguese Republic, but both have the special status as Autonomous Regions, with a degree of self-governance.
The Canary Islands are a Spanish archipelago off the African coast which form one of the 17 Autonomous Communities of Spain–the country's principal first-level administrative division.
The outermost regions office for support and information is located in these islands, in the city of Las Palmas on the island of Gran Canaria.
French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, and Réunion are five French overseas departments (which are also overseas regions) which under French law are, for the most part, treated as integral parts of the Republic.
Mayotte is the newest of the five overseas departments, having changed from an overseas collectivity with OCT status on 31 March 2011.
As with the French overseas departments, the euro is legal tender in Saint Martin, and it is outside the Schengen Area and the EU VAT Area.
On 22 February 2007, Saint Martin and Saint Barthélemy were broken away from the French overseas department of Guadeloupe to form new overseas collectivities.
While a report issued by the French parliament suggested that the islands remained within the EU as outermost regions, European Commission documents listed them as being outside the European Community.
The legal status of the islands was clarified on the coming into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, which listed them as an outermost region.
The overseas countries and territories (OCT) are dependent territories that have a special relationship with one of the member states of the EU.
Their status is described in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and they are not part of the EU or the European Single Market.
The Overseas Countries and Territories Association was created to improve economic development and cooperation between the OCTs and the EU, and includes most OCTs except three territories which do not have a permanent local population.
They were listed in the Article 198 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which aside from inviting them to join OCTA, also provided them the opportunity to opt into EU provisions on the freedom of movement for workers and freedom of establishment.
The obligations provided for in paragraph 1 of this Article shall not apply to treatment granted under measures providing for recognition of qualifications, licences or prudential measures in accordance with Article VII of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) or the GATS Annex on Financial Services.
The OCTs are not subject to the EU's common external customs tariffs but may claim customs on goods imported from the EU on a non-discriminatory basis.
They are not part of the EU and the EU acquis does not apply to them, though those joining OCTA are required to respect the detailed rules and procedures outlined by this association agreement (Council Decision 2013/755/EU).
When the Rome Treaty was signed in March 1957, a total of 15 OCTs existed: French West Africa, French Equatorial Africa, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Comoros Archipelago, French Madagascar, French Somaliland, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, French Southern and Antarctic Lands, French Togoland, French Cameroons, Belgian Congo, Ruanda-Urundi, Trust Territory of Somalia, Netherlands New Guinea.
One of the French territories subsequently switched status from OMR to OCT (Saint Barthélemy), while another French territory switched from OCT to OMR (Mayotte).
As of July 2014, there are still 13 OCTs (six with France, six with the Netherlands and one with Denmark) of which all have joined OCTA.
The three OCTs which are not part of OCTA (British Antarctic Territory, British Indian Ocean Territory and South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands) do not have a permanent population.
The French Southern and Antarctic Lands (which also include the French Scattered Islands in the Indian Ocean, and the French claim of Adélie Land in Antarctica) is a French Overseas Territory but has no permanent population.
Saint Barthélemy and Saint-Pierre and Miquelon use the euro, while New Caledonia, French Polynesia and Wallis and Futuna use the CFP Franc, a currency which is tied to the euro and guaranteed by France.
Natives of the collectivities are European citizens owing to their French citizenship and elections to the European Parliament are held in the collectivities.
On 22 February 2007, Saint Barthélemy and Saint Martin were separated from the French overseas department of Guadeloupe to form new overseas collectivities.
While a report issued by the French parliament suggested that the islands remained within the EU as outermost regions, European Commission documents listed them as being outside the European Community.
The legal status of the islands was clarified on the coming into force of the Lisbon Treaty which listed them as outermost regions.
The change was made to facilitate trade with countries outside the EU, notably the United States, and was made possible by a provision of the Lisbon Treaty which allows the European Council to change the EU status of a Danish, Dutch, or French territory on the initiative of the member state concerned.
As such, they benefit from being able to have their own export and import policy to and from the EU, while still having access to receive various EU funds (i.e.
The inhabitants of the islands are EU citizens owing to their Dutch citizenship, with the right to vote in elections to the European Parliament.
Initially they did not have voting rights for such elections, but the European Court of Justice granted them such rights, when they ruled their exclusion from the franchise was contrary to EU law, as all other Dutch citizens resident outside the EU did have the right to vote.
The US dollar is used on Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, while Curaçao and Sint Maarten utilize their own shared currency the Antillean guilder, and finally the currency of Aruba is the Aruban florin.
In June 2008, the Dutch government published a report on the projected effect on the islands were they to join the EU as outermost regions.
It concluded that the choice would be for the islands themselves to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of becoming part of the EU as outermost regions, and that nothing would be done absent the islands specifically requesting it.
Their current OCT status, and the prospect of advancing their status to become part of the EU as new OMRs (outermost regions), has been scheduled to be reviewed by the Dutch parliament in 2015, as part of the planned review of the Dutch law (WOLBES and FINBES) concerning the quality of their recently implemented new public administration bodies.
In October 2015, the review concluded the present legal structures for governance and integration with European Netherlands was not working well within the framework of WolBES, but no recommendations were made in regards of whether a switch from OCT to OMR status would help improve this situation.
The Netherlands Antilles were initially specifically excluded from all association with the EEC by reason of a protocol attached to the Treaty of Rome, allowing the Netherlands to ratify on behalf of the Netherlands in Europe and Netherlands New Guinea only, which it subsequently did.
Following the entry into force of the Convention on the association of the Netherlands Antilles with the European Economic Community on 1 October 1964, however, the Netherlands Antilles became OCTs.
Greenland joined the then European Community in 1973 as a county along with Denmark, but after gaining autonomy with the introduction of home rule within the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland voted to leave in 1982 and left in 1985, to become an OCT.
The main reason for leaving is disagreements about the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and to regain control of Greenlandic fish resources to subsequently remain outside EU waters.
While the outermost regions and the overseas countries and territories fall into structured categories to which common mechanisms apply, this is not true of all the special territories.
The rest owe their status to European Union legislative provisions which exclude the territories from the application of the legislation concerned.
Åland, a group of islands belonging to Finland, but with partial autonomy, located between Sweden and Finland, with a Swedish-speaking population, joined the EU along with Finland in 1995.
Åland is outside the VAT area and is exempt from common rules in relation to turnover taxes, excise duties and indirect taxation.
Consequently, there are restrictions on the holding of property and real estate, the right of establishment for business purposes and limitations on who can provide services in Åland, for people not holding this status.
The status may be obtained by any Finnish citizen legally resident in Åland for 5 years who can demonstrate an adequate knowledge of the Swedish language.
The German village of Büsingen am Hochrhein, is an exclave entirely surrounded by Switzerland and as such is, for practical purposes in a customs union with the latter non-EU country.
Although part of the EU, Livigno is excluded from the customs union and VAT area, with Livigno's tax status dating back to Napoleonic times.
They are also outside the customs union and VAT area, but no customs are levied on goods exported from the Union into either Ceuta and Melilla, and certain goods originating in Ceuta and Melilla are exempt from customs charges.
While nominally part of the Schengen Area (Schengen visas are valid), Spain performs identity checks on all sea and air passengers leaving the enclaves for elsewhere in the Schengen Area.
EU law only applies fully to the part of the island that is effectively controlled by the government of the Republic of Cyprus.
EU law is suspended in the northern third of the island (the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, whose independence is recognised only by Turkey) by article 1(1) of the Cyprus Protocol.
Four months after such a decision has been adopted, new elections to the European Parliament will be held on the island to elect Cypriot representatives from the whole of the island.
Cypriot nationality law applies to the entire island and is accordingly available to the inhabitants of Northern Cyprus and the British sovereign base areas on the same basis as to those born in the area controlled by the Republic of Cyprus.
Citizens of the Republic of Cyprus living in Northern Cyprus are EU citizens and are nominally entitled to vote in elections to the European Parliament; however, elections to that Parliament are not organised in Northern Cyprus as it is governed de facto a separate state, albeit a state unrecognized internationally.
Unlike other British overseas territories, their inhabitants (who are entitled to British Overseas Territories Citizenship) have never been entitled to British citizenship.
Prior to Cypriot accession to the EU in 2004, although the United Kingdom was an EU member at the time, EU law did not apply to the sovereign base areas.
This position was changed by the Cypriot accession treaty so that EU law, while still not applying in principle, applies to the extent necessary to implement a protocol attached to that treaty.
This protocol applies EU law relating to the Common Agricultural Policy, customs, indirect taxation, social policy and justice and home affairs to the sovereign base areas.
off-island and northern Cyprus) borders of the base areas to ensure that the border between the sovereign base areas and the Republic of Cyprus could remain fully open and would not have to be policed as an external EU border.
Because Cypriot nationality law extends to Cypriots in the Sovereign Base Areas, Cypriot residents, as citizens of the Republic of Cyprus, are entitled to EU citizenship.
Just under half of the population of the sovereign base areas are Cypriots, the rest are British military personnel, support staff and their dependants.
In a declaration attached to the Treaty of Establishment of the Republic of Cyprus of 1960, the British government undertook not to allow new settlement of people in the sovereign base areas other than for temporary purposes.
The United Nations buffer zone between north and south Cyprus ranges in width from a few metres in central Nicosia to several kilometres in the countryside.
While it is nominally under the sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus, it is effectively administered by the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP).
Article 2.1 of the Cyprus Protocol allows the European Council to determine to what extent the provisions of EU law apply in the buffer zone.
The Faroe Islands are not part of the EU, and they have not been part of the EU since Denmark joined the community in 1973.
Danish citizens residing on the islands are not considered citizens of a member state within the meaning of the treaties or, consequently, citizens of the European Union.
However, the islands are part of the Nordic Passport Union and the Schengen Agreement provides that travellers passing between the islands and the Schengen Area are not to be treated as passing the external frontier of the Area.
This means that there is no formal passport control, but an identity check at check-in for air or boat travel to the islands where Nordic citizens on intra-Nordic travel need no passport, only showing the ticket plus identity card.
Greece's EU accession treaty provides that Mount Athos maintains its centuries-old special legal status, guaranteed by article 105 of the Greek Constitution.
Notwithstanding that a special permit is required to enter the peninsula and that there is a prohibition on the admittance of women, it is part of the Schengen Area.
The Saimaa Canal and Värska–Ulitina road are two of several distinct travel arrangements that exist or existed because of changes in borders over the course of the 20th century, where transport routes and installations ended up on the wrong side of the border.
Under the treaty signed by Finnish and Russian governments, Russian law is in force with a few exceptions concerning maritime rules and the employment of canal staff which fall under Finnish jurisdiction.
Russian visas are not required for just passing through the canal, but a passport is needed and it is checked at the border.
Prior to the 50-year lease renewal coming into effect in February 2012, the Maly Vysotsky Island had also been leased and managed by Finland.
The road from Värska to Ulitina in Estonia, traditionally the only road to the Ulitina area, goes through Russian territory for one kilometre (0.6 mi) of its length, an area called Saatse Boot.
Most of these territories seceded before the implementation of the Maastricht treaty in 1993 and the following years, meaning that cooperation like the EU citizenship, the VAT union or the Eurozone did not exist, so it made less difference to be a special territory then.
They are inside the single market (with exceptions) and the Schengen area, but outside the Eurozone, customs territory, and VAT area.
Member states that do not have special-status territories are not included (as there the EU law applies fully with the exception of the opt-outs in the European Union and states under a safeguard clause or transitional period).
Some territories of EFTA member states also have a special status in regard to EU laws applied as is the case with some European microstates.
Summary for member states that do not have special-status territories, but do not participate in certain EU provisions as they are either not yet eligible or have an opt-out.
The Lantau Link, formerly known as the Lantau Fixed Crossing, is a roadway linking Hong Kong International Airport to the urban areas in Hong Kong.
Link is split into two traffic levels; the upper level is an open, 3-lane divided highway, while the lower level is a double-track railway line used by the MTR Airport Express and Tung Chung Line and also contains two single-lane roads for emergency use in both directions.
In normal situations, the lower level is not used except in special circumstances such as strong wind or serious accidents which could lead to the closure of the upper level.
The Lantau Link is (for now) the only land passageway connecting Lantau and other parts of Hong Kong; a second link via Tuen Mun (which will be part of Route 10 and constructed in conjunction with the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge) is under construction and should be ready for use in 2018.
Near the Tsing Yi end of the Lantau Link is the cable-stayed Ting Kau Bridge, and the Cheung Tsing and Nam Wan Tunnels, the latter of which leads to the Stonecutters Bridge.
Nathan Heard (November 7, 1936 – March 16, 2004), sometimes known as Nathan C. Heard, was a best-selling author in the United States, noted for the grim realism of his novels.
He spent some time teaching creative writing at Fresno State College (now known as California State University, Fresno), where he won a teaching award in 1970.
In cryptography, the Polybius square, also known as the Polybius checkerboard, is a device invented by the Ancient Greeks Cleoxenus and Democleitus, and perfected by the Ancient Greek historian and scholar Polybius, for fractionating plaintext characters so that they can be represented by a smaller set of symbols.
Because 26 characters do not fit in a 5 × 5 square, two letters must be combined (usually I and J as above, though C and K is an alternative).
A 6 × 6 grid may also be used for the Cyrillic alphabet (the most common variant has 33 letters, but some have up to 37).
Polybius did not originally conceive of his device as a cipher so much as an aid to telegraphy; he suggested the symbols could be signalled by holding up pairs of sets of torches.
It is said to have been used by nihilist prisoners of the Russian Czars and also by US prisoners of war during the Vietnam War.
Indeed, it can be signalled in many simple ways (flashing lamps, blasts of sound, drums, smoke signals) and is much easier to learn than more sophisticated codes like the Morse code.
The figures from one to five can be indicated by knots in a string, stitches on a quilt, contiguous letters before a wider space or many other ways.
The pairs of digits, taken together, just form a simple substitution in which the symbols happen to be pairs of digits.
As such, it is a useful component in several ciphers such as the ADFGVX cipher, the Nihilist cipher, and the bifid cipher.
The Grammy Award for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical is an honor presented to remixers for quality remixed recordings at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards.
Speak is a 2004 American independent coming-of-age teen drama film based on the award-winning 1999 novel of the same name by Laurie Halse Anderson.
It stars Kristen Stewart as Melinda Sordino, a high school freshman who practically stops talking after a senior student rapes her.
Her actual reason for calling 9-1-1 was that she'd been raped by a senior student at the party, Andy Evans, but her trauma prevented her from reporting the rape over the telephone or when the police arrived.
The only other student with whom Melinda has a positive experience is her lab partner, Dave Petrakis, who has successfully managed to avoid affiliating himself with a clique.
The restoration of Melinda's confidence progresses at a painfully slow rate, with some help from Dave and her art teacher, Mr. Freeman.
Her former best friend, Rachel Bruin, starts dating Andy, and Melinda fears that Rachel will suffer the same fate as her.
Melinda meets Rachel at the library and tells her the truth about what happened at the party by writing it on paper.
Rachel then avoids Andy for fear of getting raped by him and tells other people of what happened at the party.
Exposed as a rapist, Andy retaliates against Melinda, cornering her; he tries to force her to tell everybody at school that the incident is false and attempts to rape her again.
Melinda struggles and throws a bottle of turpentine at his face, irritating his eyes, overpowers him after holding a shard of broken mirror to his neck, threatening to kill him.
They are found by Melinda's distanced friend Nicole, who, along with other girls from her lacrosse team, help Melinda trap Andy to prevent further attack.
The altercation removes any doubt about what happened at the house party, and the girls who restrain him are outraged by it and tempted to beat him with their sticks.
On the way back from the hospital after being treated for her injuries, Melinda rolls down the car window and breathes in deeply.
She finally finds the strength to tell her mother, who already suspects something awful, the truth about what happened at the party.
Producer and screenwriter Annie Young Frisbie read the novel and successfully made a bid to get the rights to a film version.
Flooding during an especially heavy summer rain caused filming to be temporarily postponed and during that time author Laurie Halse Anderson visited the set with her daughter.
eLS (previously known as the Encyclopedia of Life Sciences) is a reference work that covers the life sciences; it is published by Wiley-Blackwell.
Hampton Comes Alive is a six-disc live album by the American rock band Phish, released on November 23, 1999, by Elektra Records.
It is the band's third live album and the first time complete live Phish concerts were released in their entirety (though fan recordings of most Phish shows are widely circulated).
Twenty of the album's forty-four tracks are covers or other songs from the band's large catalog that do not appear on any previous Phish album.
The Apostolic Fathers were core Christian theologians among the Church Fathers who lived in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, who are believed to have personally known some of the Twelve Apostles, or to have been significantly influenced by them.
Many of the writings derive from the same time period and geographical location as other works of early Christian literature which came to be part of the New Testament.
Some of the writings found among the Apostolic Fathers appear to have been as highly regarded as some of the writings which became the New Testament.
Its origin, or at least its general currency, should probably be traced to the idea of gathering together the literary remains of those who flourished in the age immediately succeeding the Apostles, and who presumably therefore were their direct personal disciples.
The first half of that century saw in print for the first time the Epistles of Clement (A.D. 1633), and of Barnabas (A.D. 1645), to say nothing of the original Greek of Polycarp's Epistle (A.D. 1633) and the Ignatian Letters in their genuine form (A.D. 1644, 1646).
Published English translations have also been made by various scholars of early Christianity, such as Joseph Lightfoot, Kirsopp Lake, Bart D. Ehrman and Michael W. Holmes.
The First Epistle of Clement () was copied and widely read and is generally considered to be the oldest Christian epistle in existence outside of the New Testament.
The letter is extremely lengthy, twice as long as the Epistle to the Hebrews, and it demonstrates the author's familiarity with many books of both the Old Testament and New Testament.
The epistle repeatedly refers to the Old Testament as scripture and includes numerous references to the Book of Judith, thereby establishing usage or at least familiarity with Judith in his time.
The Second Epistle of Clement was traditionally ascribed to Clement, but it is now generally considered to have been written later, , and therefore could not be the work of Clement, who died in AD 99.
Whereas 1 Clement was an epistle, 2 Clement appears to be a transcript of an oral homily or sermon, making it the oldest surviving Christian sermon outside of the New Testament.
He may have known the apostle John directly, and his thought is certainly influenced by the tradition associated with this apostle.
En route to his martyrdom in Rome, Ignatius wrote a series of letters which have been preserved as an example of the theology of the earliest Christians.
He clearly identifies the local-church hierarchy composed of bishop, presbyters, and deacons and claims to have spoken in some of the churches through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
The options for this John are John the son of Zebedee, traditionally viewed as the author of the Fourth Gospel, or John the Presbyter.
Traditional advocates follow Eusebius in insisting that the apostolic connection of Papius was with John the Evangelist, and that this John, the author of the Gospel of John, was the same as the apostle John.
Polycarp tried and failed to persuade Anicetus, bishop of Rome, to have the West celebrate Easter on 14 Nisan, as in the East.
His story has it that the flames built to kill him refused to burn him, and that when he was stabbed to death, so much blood issued from his body that it quenched the flames around him.
The text, parts of which may have constituted the first written catechism, has three main sections dealing with Christian lessons, rituals such as baptism and the Eucharist, and church organization.
It was considered by some of the Church Fathers as part of the New Testament, but rejected as spurious (non-canonical) by others.
It relies on allegory and pays special attention to the Church, calling the faithful to repent of the sins that have harmed it.
Roy Herbert Thomson, 1st Baron Thomson of Fleet, GBE (5 June 1894 – 4 August 1976) was a Canadian newspaper proprietor who became one of the moguls of Fleet Street.
He first came to prominence when he was selling radios in Ontario, and to give his customers more programmes to listen to, decided to launch his own radio station.
Thomson's father was Herbert Thomson, a telegraphist turned barber who worked at Toronto's Grosvenor Hotel (at Yonge and Alexander - now site of Courtyard Marriott), and English-born Alice Maud.
Thomson's grandfather Hugh was one of ten children of George Thomson, son of Archibald Thomson, who emigrated from Westerkirk, Scotland to Canada in 1773.
Thomson's ancestors were small tenant farmers on the estates of the Dukes of Buccleuch at Bo'ness, in the parish of Westerkirk, Dumfriesshire, Scotland.
During World War I, Roy Thomson attended a business college, and owing to bad eyesight he was rejected by the army.
He sold radios for quite some time after that, but his focus gradually shifted to his radio station, rather than the actual radios.
He began an expansion of both radio stations and newspapers in various Ontario locations in partnership with fellow Canadian, Jack Kent Cooke.
In addition to his media acquisitions, by 1949 Thomson was the owner of a diverse group of companies, including several ladies' hairstyling businesses, a fitted kitchen manufacturer, and an ice-cream cone manufacturing operation.
He aspired to a peerage, similar to the press barons of the UK, and moved across the Atlantic, settling in Edinburgh.
In 1957, Thomson launched a successful bid for the commercial television franchise for Central Scotland, named Scottish Television basing it in the Theatre Royal, Glasgow .
Over the years, Thomson expanded his media empire to include more than 200 newspapers in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
In the 1970s, Thomson joined with J. Paul Getty in a consortium that successfully explored for oil in the North Sea.
A modest man, who had little time for pretentious displays of wealth, in Britain he got by virtually unnoticed, riding the London Underground to his office each day.
Nonetheless, he made his son Kenneth promise to use the hereditary title that he had received in 1964, if only in the London offices of the firm.
After Thomson's death in 1976, his son Kenneth Thomson became chair of Thomson Corporation and inherited the baronial title becoming the 2nd Baron Thomson of Fleet.
With the Thomson operations now principally again in Canada, the younger Thomson did not use his title in Canada though he did so in Britain, and used two sets of stationery reflecting this dichotomy.
In any case, as the peerage title he had was inherited, it did not debar him from retaining his Canadian citizenship, and he never took up his right to a seat in the pre-1999 House of Lords.
Roy Thomson Hall, one of Toronto's main concert halls, is named in his honour as the Thomson family donated $5.4 million to its construction.
It opened 25 May 1968, by the Right Honourable Lord Thomson of Fleet, chancellor of Memorial University of Newfoundland from 1961 to 1968.
In order to receive this title, it was necessary for Thomson to acquire British citizenship, as the Canadian government had made it common practice since 1919 to disallow the conference of titular honours from the sovereign on Canadians.
Kenneth Roy Thomson, 2nd Baron Thomson of Fleet (September 1, 1923 – June 12, 2006), known in Canada as Ken Thomson, was a Canadian/British businessman and art collector.
Thomson was first educated at Upper Canada College before going up to St. John's College, Cambridge, where he received a degree in economics and law.
He succeeded his father as chair of what was then a media empire made up of extensive newspaper and television holdings.
The company then sold all of its community newspapers to become a financial data services giant and one of the world's most powerful information services and academic publishing companies.
Between the time of that report and his death, he jumped six positions to ninth with assets of almost $22.6 billion.
Over the past fifty years, Thomson distinguished himself as one of North America's leading art collectors and has been a major benefactor to the Art Gallery of Ontario.
Taylor, a one-time actress and film producer, became known for her lawsuit against Christie's auction house, when in 1994 she bought urns supposedly from Louis XV of France that were discovered instead to be 19th century reproductions.
He retained his positions as Chairman of The Woodbridge Company, the family's holding company, which owned a controlling share of Thomson Corporation.
Following his retirement from active business, he donated to the Art Gallery of Ontario nearly 2,000 art works worth more than US $300 million, representing the finest private art collection in Canada.
MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) is a prodrug to the neurotoxin MPP+, which causes permanent symptoms of Parkinson's disease by destroying dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the brain.
While MPTP itself has no psychoactive effects, the compound may be accidentally produced during the manufacture of MPPP, a synthetic opioid drug with effects similar to those of morphine and pethidine (meperidine).
Once inside the brain, MPTP is metabolized into the toxic cation 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) by the enzyme monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) of glial cells, specifically astrocytes.
MPP+ interferes with complex I of the electron transport chain, a component of mitochondrial metabolism, which leads to cell death and causes the buildup of free radicals, toxic molecules that contribute further to cell destruction.
Because MPTP itself is not directly harmful, toxic effects of acute MPTP poisoning can be mitigated by the administration of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) such as selegiline.
Dopaminergic neurons are selectively vulnerable to MPP+ because DA neurons exhibit dopamine reuptake which is mediated by DAT which also has high-affinity for MPP+.
Even though this property is exhibited by both VTA and SNc neurons, VTA neurons are protective against MPP+ insult due to the expression of calbindin.
Calbindin regulates the availability of Ca2+ within the cell, which is not the case in SNc neurons due to their high-calcium dependent autonomous pacemaker activity.
The direction of complex movement is based from the substantia nigra to the putamen and caudate nucleus, which then relay signals to the rest of the brain.
Mice were thought to only suffer from cell death in the substantia nigra (to differing degree according to the strain of mice used) but do not show Parkinsonian symptoms; however, most of the recent studies indicate that MPTP can result in Parkinsonism-like syndromes in mice (especially chronic syndromes).
The neurotoxicity of MPTP was hinted at in 1976 after Barry Kidston, a 23-year-old chemistry graduate student in Maryland, US, synthesized MPPP with MPTP as a major impurity, and self-injected the result.
In 1983, four people in Santa Clara County, California, US, were diagnosed with Parkinsonism after having used MPPP contaminated with MPTP.
The neurologist J. William Langston in collaboration with NIH tracked down MPTP as the cause, and its effects on primates were researched.
After performing neural grafts of fetal tissue on three of the patients at Lund University Hospital in Sweden, the motor symptoms of two of the three patients were successfully treated, and the third showed partial recovery.
The symptoms and brain structures of MPTP-induced Parkinson's disease are fairly indistinguishable to the point that MPTP may be used to simulate the disease in order to study Parkinson's disease physiology and possible treatments within the laboratory.
Knowledge of MPTP and its use in reliably recreating Parkinson's disease symptoms in experimental models has inspired scientists to investigate the possibilities of surgically replacing neuron loss through fetal tissue implants, subthalamic electrical stimulation and stem cell research, all of which have demonstrated initial, provisional successes.
It has been postulated that Parkinson's disease may be caused by minute amounts of MPP+-like compounds from ingestion or exogenously through repeated exposure and that these substances are too minute to be detected significantly by epidemiological studies.
It was shown that the pesticide and insecticide rotenone causes Parkinsonism in rats by killing dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra.
It was tested as a treatment for various conditions, but the tests were halted when Parkinson-like symptoms were noticed in monkeys.
MPTP is used in industry as a chemical intermediate; the chloride of the toxic metabolite MPP+, cyperquat, has been used as a herbicide.
Rory Underwood MBE (born 19 June 1963) is an English former rugby union player, he is 's record international try scorer with 49 tries in 85 internationals between 1984 and 1996.
Underwood's principal position was wing and he played 236 games for Leicester Tigers between 1983 and 1997, he also played for Middlesbrough, Bedford Blues and the Royal Air Force.
In 1992 Underwood played for England alongside his younger brother Tony Underwood, becoming the first brothers to play together for England since 1937.
Underwood was educated at Barnard Castle School (with fellow rugby international Rob Andrew and infamous MI6 officer Richard Tomlinson), followed by initial officer training at RAF College Cranwell.
His family moved to Yorkshire in 1976, but his father was posted to Singapore and did not rejoin the family for another three years.
He became station flight safety officer, then joined 55 Sqn (navigator training, now referred to as a weapon systems officer) on the twin-engined Dominie (British Aerospace 125), and continued in the RAF until 1999, although he could have stayed until 2001.
Having first played as a youngster at Middlesbrough Rugby Club (with Rob Andrew and Bernie Coyne) he went on to become one of the greatest wings in rugby union.
He won 85 England and 6 Lions caps between 1984 and 1996 (then an English record, later surpassed by Jason Leonard – it remained the highest total for an English back, though that has since been overtaken by Jonny Wilkinson), scoring a record 49 tries for England, and 1 for the British Lions, making him one of the leading try scorers of all time.
However, Underwood changed his mind and opted to carry on, initially for the next match against South Africa (their first match since their readmission to international sport), and eventually for several more years - playing mostly now on the left, to accommodate his younger brother, Tony, on the right wing.
They were the first brothers to represent England at the same time since 1937: and, in the 1993 match against Scotland, the first pair of brothers to score tries in the same match for England.
His long-lasting relationship with the RAF was put under strain when his wife was unfairly dismissed from the RAF for being pregnant, for which she received £13,000 in a compensation claim in 1995.
He lives in a small village near Grantham in Lincolnshire, having lived in the area for many years whilst at Cranwell.
The narrative follows the young reporter Tintin, his dog Snowy and his friends Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus as they travel to the (fictional) South American nation of San Theodoros to rescue their friend Bianca Castafiore, who has been imprisoned by the government of General Tapioca.
The book reflected changes to the appearance and behaviour of several key characters in the series; Tintin himself for instance no longer wears his trademark plus fours, instead wearing bell-bottoms.
The volume was published to a poor reception and has continued to receive negative reviews from later commentators on Hergé's work.
Early criticism of the story focused on what was seen as its pessimistic outlook on political issues, while later reviews concentrated on the poor characterisation and lack of energy.
There, they learn that Bianca Castafiore, her maid Irma, pianist Igor Wagner and the detectives Thomson and Thompson have been imprisoned in San Theodoros for allegedly attempting to overthrow the military government of General Tapioca.
Tapioca invites the trio to visit San Theodores, promising them safe passage, but Tintin deems it to be a trap, leaving Haddock and Calculus to go alone.
Once there, the Captain and Professor are taken to a rural villa, where they are closely monitored by the security services.
Tintin joins his friends a few days later, where he points out to Haddock and Calculus that their villa is bugged.
With Pablo's assistance, Tintin, Snowy, Haddock, and Calculus escape from their guards on a pyramid and seek refuge with General Alcazar and his small band of anti-Tapioca guerrillas, the Picaros, who are hiding in the South American jungle.
After realising that Pablo is a double agent working for Tapioca, they escape an assault by a field gun and then shelter for a time with the Arumbaya, an indigenous community who live within the forest.
Alcazar realises that the Picaros will fail to launch a successful coup against Tapioca while they remain drunkards, and to combat this problem, Calculus provides them with tablets which render the taste of alcohol disgusting.
There, they storm the presidential palace and seize control; Alcazar becomes president, with Tapioca and Sponsz being exiled from the country as punishment for their crimes.
In particular, he had been inspired by the activities of Fidel Castro's 26th of July Movement when they were launching a guerrilla war from the Sierra Maestra during the Cuban Revolution against President Fulgencio Batista.
Hergé's depiction of a band of Latin American revolutionaries was also influenced by the French leftist activist Régis Debray's accounts of his time spent fighting in the Bolivian Andes alongside the Argentine Marxist–Leninist revolutionary Che Guevara.
Hergé's depiction of Bordurian support for Tapioca's government was a reference to the Soviet Union's support for various Latin American regimes, most notably that of Castro's Cuba, with San Theodoros being depicted as having been governed under the ideological system of Borduria's political leader, Kurvi-Tasch.
Similarly, Hergé included a reference to Alcazar being backed by the International Banana Company in order to reflect the influence of Western multinational corporations in Latin America.
His depiction of a public sculpture in the city was inspired by the work of sculptor Marcel Arnould, while the paintings that he designed for the Tapiocapolis hotel in which Tintin and Haddock stay are based on the work of Serge Poliakoff.
Hergé also introduced a new character, Peggy Alcazar, whom he had based upon the American secretary to a Ku Klux Klan spokesman whom Hergé observed in a television documentary.
He also introduced the Jolly Follies into the story, a group who were based on three separate touring party groups that Hergé had encountered.
Hergé also changed the behaviour of several characters in the story, for instance by depicting Tintin practising yoga and Nestor the butler both eavesdropping and drinking Haddock's whisky.
Among the revelers, he included those dressed in the costumes of various different cartoon and film characters, such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Asterix, Snoopy, Groucho Marx, and Zorro.
The page in question was located between pages 22 and 23 of the published book, and featured Sponz attempting to smash a glass, but accidentally breaking a statue of Bordurian political leader Kurvi-Tasch instead.
In June 1977, Hergé travelled to Britain for Methuen's launch of the story's English translation, where he spent two weeks giving interviews and attending book signings.
For instance, he believed that the theme of eavesdropping was exhibited in the scene in which Nestor the butler listens in on Tintin and Haddock's argument.
McCarthy believed that the inclusion of the CND symbol on Tintin's motorcycle helmet at the start of the story was a sign that Hergé's left-wing tendency had won out over the right-wing perspectives which dominated his early work.
In 1991, a collaboration between the French studio Ellipse and the Canadian animation company Nelvana adapted 21 of the stories into a series of episodes, each 42 minutes long.
He was raised in West Texas near a United States Army Air Forces airfield, which inspired him to become a pilot.
Kellie preaches throughout the United States, as does Terri, who also preaches at Eagle Mountain International Church, which is pastored by her husband, George Pearsons.
In the fall of 1967, he enrolled in Oral Roberts University, where he soon became pilot and chauffeur to Oral Roberts.
The number of longer set conventions has waned in recent years, although KCM still holds an annual Believer's Convention in his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, during the week of July 4.
Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, along with ministry friends including some family members, also preach at other conventions and conferences throughout the world.
These events stream live on Copeland's website, kcm.org, as well as being shown on Christian television stations such as God TV and the Daystar Television Network.
The Monday through Friday television broadcasts feature a Copeland family member, either alone or with another minister, discussing subjects from the Bible.
Kenneth Copeland Ministries is located at 14355 Morris Dido Road, Fort Worth, TX 76192 on 33 acres (13 ha), a property valued at $554,160 in 2008 by Tarrant Appraisal District.
The site includes the Eagle Mountain International Church, television and radio production facilities, warehouse and distribution facilities, residences for the Copeland family, and Kenneth Copeland Airport.
KCM also owns a 1998 Cessna 550 Citation Bravo, which it received from a donor in October 2007 and is used for domestic flights, and a 2005 Cessna 750 Citation X, which it uses for international flights.
The Copelands' financial records are not publicly available, and a list of the board of directors is not accessible as these details are protected but known confidentially by the Internal Revenue Service.
Responding to media questions, Copeland pointed to what he asserted was an accounting firm's declaration that all jet travel complies with federal tax laws.
In December 2008, KCM's Citation Bravo was denied tax exemption after KCM refused to submit a standardized Texas Comptroller form that some county appraisal districts use to make determinations, which would have required making public the salary of all ministry staff.
KCM subsequently filed suit with the Tarrant Appraisal District in January 2009 and its petition to have the aircraft's tax-exempt status restored was granted in March 2010.
Kenneth Copeland Ministries has taken advantage of a Federal Aviation Administration program that keeps flights private from tracking websites, and the ministry owns five such aircraft whose flights are kept private, including the Cessna 750 Citation X noted above and a North American T-28 Trojan.
United States Senator Chuck Grassley has questioned some of the flights taken by these aircraft, including layovers in Maui, Fiji, and Honolulu.
The Angel Flight 44 ministry was announced by Kenneth Copeland Ministries in 2006 and the ministry attempted to raise money to fund it.
Richard Vermillion, co-author of a book on Angel Flight 44 commissioned by Kenneth Copeland Ministries, said that Copeland promised to form the aviation ministry but now believes it was never created.
Through the years, Copeland has invited many church pastors and evangelists to appear on his daily program to discuss their respective books.
As a result of the Huckabee appearances, Kenneth Copeland Ministries was one of six approached by the United States Senate inquiry into the tax-exempt status of religious organizations.
In 2013, a measles outbreak (20 confirmed cases as of August 26) in Tarrant County was attributed in the press to anti-vaccination sentiments expressed by members of the Copeland Ministries.
The church denied making any such statements and urged members to get vaccinations, even offering free immunizations through the church itself.
Pastor Terri Copeland Pearsons, who is Kenneth Copeland's daughter, offered free vaccination clinics and advised those who did not attend one of the clinics to quarantine themselves at home for two weeks.
The concerns we have had are primarily with very young children who have family history of autism and with bundling too many immunizations at one time.
In 2009, Copeland's $3.6 million jet was denied tax-exempt status, opening up a possible investigation into the church's expenses; Copeland failed to disclose the salaries of his directors.
Copeland's ministry bought a multi-million Gulfstream V jet airplane and Copeland thanked his followers and Jesus for buying it when it was delivered at the Fort Worth airstrip, wearing a pilot jacket and sunglasses.
Now, the church is asking another $17 or $19.5 million for the building of a hangar, upgrading the runway and maintenance.
He was first elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 1984 general election as a Progressive Conservative from Alberta.
Following Mulroney's resignation as PC leader and prime minister in 1993, Edwards was a candidate at the PC leadership convention held to choose a successor.
He was appointed chief government Whip and President of the Treasury Board in the short lived cabinet of Prime Minister Kim Campbell.
He lost his seat in that year's 1993 election that reduced the Tories to only two Members of Parliament in the House.
Edwards was the president and CEO of Economic Development Edmonton from 1998 to 2002 and served as the chair of the board of governors at the University of Alberta from March 2002 to 2006.
The Independent Commission on Policing for Northern Ireland was established in 1998 as part of the Belfast Agreement, intended as a major step in the Northern Ireland peace process.
The other members of the Commission were Maurice Hayes, Peter Smith, Kathleen O'Toole, Gerald W. Lynch, Sir John Smith, Lucy Woods and Professor Clifford Shearing.
Under the terms of reference defined in the Belfast Agreement, the Commission was to inquire into policing in Northern Ireland, consult widely, and make proposals for future policing structures and arrangements, including the police force composition, recruitment, training, culture, ethos and symbols.
The aim of the proposals was to create a police service that would be effective, operate in partnership with the community, cooperate with the Garda Síochána and other police forces, and be accountable both to the law and the community which it was to serve.
The recommendations contained in the report have been partly implemented by the Police (Northern Ireland) Act 2000 and the Police (Northern Ireland) Act 2003.
Sinn Féin, which represents a quarter of Northern Ireland's voters, refused to endorse the new force until the Patten recommendations had been implemented in full, however voted to support the force in 2007 and now take their seats on the Northern Ireland Policing Board.
The recommendation to change the RUC name to Northern Ireland Police Service was changed to Police Service of Northern Ireland instead.
A Gaelic Athletic Association convention repealed Rule 21 (a ban on members of the British army and the Royal Ulster Constabulary from playing Gaelic games), although almost all of the votes to do so came from the Republic (there were exceptions Kerry, Cavan and Monaghan voted against repealing the rule) .
Such actions have led to the NI approach of addressing inequality of opportunity to be considered as ‘radically different’ to the rest of the United Kingdom (UK).
The NI Affairs Committee noted that ‘whether criticism of the force has been justified or not, it is the case that any settlement in Northern Ireland involves policing issues’.
A reflection of the data demonstrates the Roman Catholic representation of the police force to increase from 7.4% in 1991 to a mere 8.2% seven years later.
A post conflict solution arising from the Independent Commission on Policing, led by Chris Patten, included proposals for more inclusive policing arrangements.
The report was a comprehensive plan including proactive measures regarding gender equality, community awareness training and changing the culture and ethos of the police.
The pursuit of a more proportional representation was critical in adopting this temporary measure (See table, fig 12) in addition to the certainty of results it was likely to produce within a reasonable timeframe.
A broader reading of the contemporary political context in NI implicates the measure with the long term goal of achieving peace within NI.
Whilst the Patten proposals were largely accepted by the Secretary of State, the temporary 50:50 recruitment measure was not universally welcomed.
Fredman argues that affirmative action programmes can lead to greater integration of minorities within the community which can, in turn, help to reduce inequalities.
As Son Hing, Bobocel and Zanna note, typically people who strongly endorse the merit principle and believe that outcomes should be given to those most deserving, oppose affirmative action programmes that violate this principle.
Sally Wokes highlights that affirmative action violates the essential principle of equality, suggesting that it is likely to increase tensions between communities and lead to the stigmatisation of those groups which benefit.
She also questions the validity of the ‘role model’ argument on the basis that the perceived lack of merit undermines the legitimacy of their position, thus negating their positive influence as a role model.
Furthermore, Wokes suggests that affirmative action will only benefit the least deprived members of a minority, therefore doing little to tackle the underlying disadvantage.
In December 1998, the Catholic proportion of the police service represented 8.3% this had significantly increased by March 2011 to 29.7%.
Owen Paterson viewed this result as a ‘tremendous change’ which was at the top end of the Patten Report’s critical mass.
Nevertheless, the discriminatory impact on other communities, specifically Protestant, has been acknowledged against this context of increasing Catholic representation and support for the police.
Furthermore, Patrick Yu (Executive Director of the Northern Ireland Council for Ethnic Minorities) criticises the 50:50 measure, for categorising Catholics and ‘non-Catholics,’ highlighting that the legislation addresses only two communities, with all other minorities,’fall (ing) through the gap.’ It is however noted that by August 2014, ethnic minorities employed as police officers stood at 0.51% of the population, which is broadly in line with census data.
Policing in NI continues to evolve and its effectiveness will be subject to ongoing review and evaluation by the Policing Board.
A Public Accounts Committee report stated almost 40% of all temporary workers were former police officers and nearly 20% of Patten retirees were reemployed by the PSNI as temporary staff.
Given the close alignment between the political context and policing, the affirmative action measures and their effectiveness will constantly be subject to review and evaluation.
It is possible to even say that the compositional improvements of the PSNI may have influenced the Metropolitan Police in London to call for positive action measures to increase the representation of ethnic minorities.
Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder is a 1998 book by the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, in which the author discusses the relationship between science and the arts from the perspective of a scientist.
This pleasure was not in spite of, but rather because he does not assume as cause the inexplicable actions of a deity but rather the understandable laws of nature.
Dawkins's agenda is to show the reader that science does not destroy, but rather discovers poetry in the patterns of nature.
In fact, those in search of beauty or poetry in their cosmology need not turn to the paranormal or even necessarily restrict themselves to the mysterious: science itself, the business of unravelling mysteries, is beautiful and poetic.
The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia.
We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively outnumbers the set of actual people.
Time and space are vast, so the probability that the reader came to be alive here and now, as opposed to another time or place, was slim.
More important, the probability that the reader came to be alive at all were even slimmer: the correct structure of atoms had to align in the universe.
This chapter describes a third reason to embrace science (the first two being beauty and duty): improving one's performance in the arts.
This offers a disservice to the public, who are capable of appreciating the beauty of the universe as deeply as a scientist can.
The successful communication of unadulterated science enhances, not confuses, the arts; after all, poets (Dawkins' synonym for artists—see page 24) and scientists are motivated by a similar spirit of wonder.
Second, the mysteries which science unfolds lead to new and more exciting mysteries; for example, botany's findings might lead us to wonder about the workings of a fly's consciousness.
This chapter offers more evidence that science is fun and poetic, by exploring sound waves, birdsong, and low-frequency phenomena such as pendula and periodic mass extinctions.
A fourth reason to embrace science is that it can help deliver justice in a court of law, via DNA fingerprinting or even via simple statistical reasoning.
Genes compete with each other, but this occurs within the context of collaboration, as is shown with examples involving mitochondria, bacteria, and termites.
Two types of collaboration are co-adaptation (tailoring simultaneously the different parts of an organism, such as flower colour and flower markings), and co-evolution (two species changing together; e.g.
Neural circuitry is discussed, and a comparison is made between brains and genes: albeit over different time scales, both record the environment's past to help the organism make the optimal actions in the (predicted) future.
A similar event occurred over a longer time scale (millions of years) when the minds and brains of our ancestors simultaneously improved very rapidly.
An example would be to consider a friend you have not seen for years when you are on holiday (an unlikely event).
Before saying it is fate or coincidence, think what is in the petwhac (meeting any friend from around the same period, or friends of your brothers, sisters or parents, old flames, neighbours, teachers, someone who worked in the local chip-shop... the list is probably endless, and all would seem coincidental).
Dawkins offers several examples of petwhacs in the book, two of which are the bedside clock of a woman (Richard Feynman's wife) stopping exactly when she died, and a psychic who stops the watches of his television audience.
The first is explained by the fact that the clock had a mechanical defect which made it stop when tilted off the horizontal, which is what a nurse did to read the time of death in poor lighting conditions.
We need to decide how large a delay would have been judged by the audience as sufficiently simultaneous with the psychic's announcement to impress.
About five minutes is certainly safe, especially since he can keep talking to each caller for a few minutes before the next call ceases to seem roughly simultaneous.
If only half of them are wearing watches, we could expect about 25 of those watches to stop in any given minute.
If only a quarter of these ring into the studio, that is 6 calls, more than enough to dumbfound a naïve audience.
Lillian Marie Bounds-Disney (February 15, 1899December 16, 1997) was an American ink artist at the Disney Studios, and the wife of Walt Disney, from 1925 until his death in 1966.
Born Lillian Marie Bounds in Spalding, Idaho, she grew up in nearby Lapwai on the Nez Perce Indian Reservation, where her father Willard worked as a blacksmith and federal marshal.
Bounds and Walt Disney married on July 13, 1925, in Idaho at her brother’s home, officiated by the rector of Lewiston's Episcopal Church of the Nativity.
Disney had ten grandchildren: seven by Diane and her husband (Ron W. Miller), and three by Sharon and her two husbands, Robert Brown and William Lund.
Disney is credited with having named her husband's most famous character, Mickey Mouse, during a train trip from New York to California in 1928.
Following Walt Disney's death in 1966, Disney was married to John L. Truyens from May 1969 until his death in February 1981.
Disney suffered a stroke on December 15, 1997, which was exactly 31 years after the death of her first husband, Walt.
William Woodbridge (August 20, 1780October 20, 1861) was a U.S. statesman in the states of Ohio and Michigan and in the Michigan Territory prior to statehood.
He returned to Connecticut to complete his law studies and, after returning to Ohio, was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1806 where he began a practice in Marietta, Ohio.
He was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives in 1807, and was elected to the Ohio Senate in 1808, serving from 1809 to 1814.
In 1814, Woodbridge's old friend Lewis Cass, who had become Governor of the Michigan Territory, encouraged him to accept appointments as Secretary of the Territory and as the collector of customs at the Port of Detroit.
Woodbridge became Michigan Territory's first Delegate, serving in the 16th Congress from March 4, 1819, to his resignation on August 9, 1820 due to illness in his family.
As a Delegate, Woodbridge worked for the passage of legislation that recognized old French land titles in the Territory according to the terms of the previously signed treaties.
He also secured approval for the construction of government roads from the Great Miami River to Detroit, and from Detroit to Chicago.
He was also a strong advocate for Michigan's claim to the Toledo Strip, which was disputed with the state of Ohio.
In 1828, he was appointed one of three Territorial Supreme Court judges by President John Quincy Adams, succeeding James Witherell and serving in this capacity until 1832 when his term expired and President Andrew Jackson chose a replacement who was not from the Whig party as Woodbridge was.
He resigned as Governor on February 23, 1841 to take a seat in the United States Senate and was succeeded by his Lieutenant Governor, J. Wright Gordon.
He was only one of two Whig Senators who represented Michigan, alongside Augustus S. Porter whom he served with for most of his term.
Woodbridge served as chairman of the Committee on Public Lands in the 28th Congress, 1843–1844, and of the Committee on Patents and the Patent Office in the 29th Congress, 1845–1846.
The words may or may not be grammatically correct, but are semantically confused to the point that the listener cannot extract any meaning from them.
The term is often used in psychiatry as well as in theoretical linguistics to describe a type of grammatical acceptability judgement by native speakers, and in computer programming to describe textual randomization.
Word salad may describe a symptom of neurological or psychiatric conditions in which a person attempts to communicate an idea, but words and phrases that may appear to be random and unrelated come out in an incoherent sequence instead.
Clang associations are especially characteristic of mania, as seen in bipolar disorder, as a somewhat more severe variation of flight of ideas.
The Head And In Frontal Attack On An English Writer That The Character Of This Point Is Therefore Another Method For The Letters That The Time Of Who Ever Told The Problem For An Unexpected.
Nonsensical phrasing can also be generated for more malicious reasons, such as the Bayesian poisoning used to counter Bayesian spam filters by using a string of words which have a high probability of being collocated in English, but with no concern for whether the sentence makes sense grammatically or logically.
John Garth Turner, (born March 14, 1949) is a Canadian business journalist, best-selling author, entrepreneur, broadcaster, financial advisor and politician, twice elected as a Member of the House of Commons, former Minister of National Revenue and leadership candidate for the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada.
After serving as a PC MP between 1988 and 1993, he returned to political life as a candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada in the 2006 federal election, beating Liberal Gary Carr in the riding of Halton, Ontario.
On October 18, 2006, the Conservative Party suspended him from the Conservative caucus for his independent stance and he sat as an Independent MP until February 6, 2007, when he joined the Liberal Party of Canada.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts in English literature from the University of Toronto, and a Master of Arts in English literature from the University of Western Ontario.
Before entering a career in electoral politics, Turner founded and owned weekly newspapers in Ontario, worked as an editor for The Globe and Mail, Metroland Publishing and Thomson Newspapers, and helped launch Maclean's as a newsweekly magazine.
In the short-lived cabinet of Kim Campbell he was appointed Minister of National Revenue, but lost his seat in the 1993 election when his party was reduced to just two seats.
After his election loss, Turner returned to journalism, becoming business editor for Baton Broadcasting and then the CTV network and authoring a series of books on real estate and personal finance.
After parting with Baton and later CTV, he formed the television production company Millennium Media Television, which became the largest independent producer of network television programming in Canada.
The company produced up to nine weekly series for broadcasters such as Global, CTV and YTV, and its 'Business Television' had the most substantial audience at the time for a financial program on Canadian television.
Also during this period, Turner became a public speaker, traveling the country and attracting crowds at events often sponsored by financial advisory companies, banks, mutual fund companies and real estate investment companies.
He also authored a string of best-sellers, including '2015: After the Boom', 'The Strategy', 'The Defence', '2020' and an annual RRSP guide.
Turner was former CEO and founder of The Credit River Company, a Caledon-based destination and ecotourism company that was noted for the restoration of heritage buildings in the area.
Turner served as national director of the Vancouver-based Sierra Legal Defence Fund, an organization dedicated to upholding environmental laws, resigning after his return to the House of Commons.
Greater Fool, The Troubled Future of Real Estate, detailed Turner's view of the dangers confronting middle class Canadians who reside in volatile urban real estate markets across the country.
In 2009, Turner launched an online retail operation, xurbia.ca, offering renewable and alternative energy products and equipment, as well as preparedness supplies, citing climate change and the ongoing economic downturn as precipitating factors.
He also relaunched his pre-election eco-tourism business with the purchase of the historic (1855) Cataract Inn, in Caledon, Ontario, outside of Toronto.
Turner also returned to his national speaking tours, focusing on investor education in a string of events once again sponsored by prominent companies in the financial services sector.
Turner returned to politics with his election as a Conservative MP for Halton, which included most of the territory he had represented in his previous term, in the 2006 general election.
On October 18, 2006, the Ontario members of the Conservative caucus voted to suspend Turner for what they claimed were violations of caucus confidentiality as published in his weblog.
Within hours, Turner was dismissed from the Conservative Party caucus, and ultimately from the Conservative Party of Canada, by edict of the party's political leadership.
The Conservative Party never furnished evidence of Turner's alleged breaches of confidentiality, while Turner argued Prime Minister Stephen Harper could not tolerate an independent-minded MP within his caucus.
Turner praised Green leader Elizabeth May on his blog and campaigned for her in her bid to win a seat in the London by-election.
According to Turner's weblog, his constituents were consulted over a number of weeks, and various options for action were considered: that he remain an independent Member of Parliament with no party affiliation; that he reconcile with the Conservative party; or that he join the Green Party.
After a period of introspection and deliberation, on February 6, 2007 Turner surprised many observers by joining the Liberal Party caucus at the invitation of its leader, Stéphane Dion.
In response, Turner repeatedly offered to run in a by-election in his constituency of Halton, Ontario, should David Emerson and Wajid Khan (floor-crossing members in the Conservative caucus, each former Liberals) also run in by-elections in their constituencies held at the same time.
It is an account of his experiences within and without the caucus of the Conservative Party, and the clash between backroom-style politics and the open blogging Turner pioneered as a web-based MP.
Turner works as a financial lecturer and an independent, fee-based, licensed financial advisor based in Toronto, with clients across the country.
The story was cancelled abruptly following the Allied liberation in September 1944, when Hergé was blacklisted after being accused of collaborating with the occupying Germans.
The story revolves around the investigations of a young reporter Tintin and his friend Captain Haddock into the abduction of their friend Professor Calculus and its connection to a mysterious illness which has afflicted the members of an archaeological expedition to Peru.
There, they witness the performance of a clairvoyant, Madame Yamilah, who predicts the illness of one of the Sanders-Hardiman expedition members; this expedition has recently returned from an archaeological venture to the Andes mountains.
The evening's entertainment also includes the act of a knife thrower whom Tintin recognises as General Alcazar, former President of San Theodoros.
Alcazar introduces Tintin and Haddock to his Quechua assistant, Chiquito, and explains that he is in exile after being deposed (once again) by his rival, General Tapioca.
The next day, Tintin and Haddock learn that members of the Sanders-Hardiman expedition are falling into comas, with fragments of a shattered crystal ball found near each victim.
Tintin, Haddock, and their friend Professor Calculus visit the only expedition member yet to be affected, Professor Hercules Tarragon, who is an old friend and former classmate of Calculus'.
Under police guard, Professor Tarragon shows his visitors one of the expedition's discoveries from Peru: the mummified body of Inca king Rascar Capac.
Worried, Tarragon states that this reflects the culmination of Capac's prophecy, which declares that punishment will descend upon those who desecrate his tomb.
They find Tarragon comatose in his bed, with the accompanying crystal shards nearby; the attacker had bypassed the guards by climbing in via the chimney.
The next day, Calculus is walking on the grounds of Tarragon's house when he discovers one of the mummy's bracelets, which he places on himself.
Tintin and Haddock later realise that Calculus has gone missing, and surmise that he has been kidnapped by the same individual who placed Tarragon in a coma.
Tintin visits a hospital where the seven stricken members of the Sanders-Hardiman expedition are housed; he is astonished that at a precise time of day, all awaken and scream about figures attacking them before slipping back into their comas.
Haddock is dejected by Calculus' abduction, but upon learning that police have spotted the kidnapper's car at a port, he and Tintin race there, believing that the abductors seek to board a boat with Calculus and take him abroad.
At the docks, they spot Alcazar boarding a ship to South America; he reveals that Chiquito was one of the last descendants of the Inca and has disappeared.
Having lost Calculus' trail, Tintin and Haddock decide to pay a visit to Haddock's old friend Chester, who has docked at another nearby port.
Confiscated from its original owners, ' was permitted by the German authorities to reopen under the directorship of Belgian editor Raymond de Becker, although it remained firmly under Nazi control, supporting the German war effort and espousing anti-Semitism.
Faced with the reality of Nazi oversight, Hergé abandoned the overt political themes that had pervaded much of his earlier work, instead adopting a policy of neutrality.
Hergé planned for the former story to outline a mystery, while the latter would see his characters undertake an expedition to solve it.
His use of an ancient mummy's curse around which the narrative revolved was inspired by tales of a curse of the pharaohs which had been unearthed during the archaeologist Howard Carter's 1922 discovery of Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb.
The two became close friends and artistic collaborators, as Jacobs aided Hergé in developing various aspects of the plot, such as the idea of the crystal balls and the story's title.
He also used Jacobs as a researcher, sending him to the Cinquantenaire Museum to study its collections of Incan material, and it was the mummified Incan corpse in their collection that was used as the basis for the mummy of Rascar Capac.
The scenery and background of the story was meticulously copied from existing sources; car model types like the Opel Olympia 38 in which Calculus' abductors escaped the police were drawn from real examples, while Hergé closely adhered to the reality of the port and docks at Saint-Nazaire.
This was accompanied by general exhaustion, depression, and fear that upon the imminent collapse of German administration, he would face retribution as a collaborator; many accused of being collaborators had already been killed by the Belgian Resistance.
Hergé had been forced to abandon the story after 152 strips, equivalent to fifty pages of the later published book volume.
The story had been left unfinished after the scene in which Tintin leaves the hospital where he sees the seven members of the expedition enduring a simultaneous fit.
This would be the first of four incidents in which Hergé was arrested and freed: by the State Security, the Judiciary Police, the Belgian National Movement, and the Front for Independence, during which he spent one night in jail.
The period witnessed widespread allegations against accused collaborators, with military courts condemning 30,000 on minor charges and 25,000 on more serious charges; of those, 5,500 were sentenced to life imprisonment or capital punishment.
Although this period allowed him an escape from the pressure of daily production which had affected most of his working life, he also had family problems to deal with; his brother Paul returned to Brussels from a German prisoner-of-war camp and their mother had become highly delusional and was moved to a psychiatric hospital.
In October 1945, Hergé was approached by Raymond Leblanc, a former member of a conservative Resistance group, the National Royalist Movement (MNR), and his associates André Sinave and Albert Debaty.
Concerned about the judicial investigation into Hergé's wartime affiliations, Leblanc convinced William Ugeux, a leader of the Belgian Resistance who was now in charge of censorship and certificates of good citizenship, to look into the comic creator's file.
The decision whether Hergé would stand trial belonged to the general auditor of the Military Tribunal, Walter Ganshof van der Meersch.
In May 1946, Hergé was issued a certificate of good citizenship, which became largely necessary to obtain employment in post-war Belgium.
He considered the post-war trials of collaborators a great injustice inflicted upon many innocent people, and never forgave Belgian society for the way that he had been treated, although he hid this from his public persona.
Hergé assembled a team of artists for the purpose, including Edgar P. Jacobs and Jacques Van Melkebeke, who became the magazine's first editor.
Rather than re-serialising the story from its beginning, he began the new magazine with a summary of the story so far, presented as a press clipping.
After the story had finished serialisation, the publishing company Casterman divided it into two volumes, ' and ', which they released in 1948 and 1949 respectively.
When translated into English for a publication by Methuen in 1963, a number of Francophone place-names were changed; for instance, the port of Saint-Nazaire was renamed Westermouth, which, according to author Michael Farr, was probably inspired by the real English coastal town of Weymouth.
He argued that the way in which Alcazar was presented as Tintin's friend in this story was a manifestation of the recurring theme of friendship.
He thought that the appearance of Rascar Capac's jewels reflected Hergé's use of jewels as a theme throughout the series, while the mummy's removal from its tomb was a manifestation of the recurring concept of the tomb.
Produced by Raymond Leblanc and directed by Eddie Lateste, it was written by Lateste, the cartoonist Greg, Jos Marissen, and Laszló Molnár.
The production, directed by Dirk de Caluwé, adapted by Seth Gaaikema and Frank Van Laecke with music by Dirk Brossé, featured Tom Van Landuyt as Tintin.
Unlike the smaller Lam Chau, it was only partially leveled when it was assimilated via land reclamation into the island for the current Hong Kong International Airport, which opened for commercial aviation in 1998.
Cathay Pacific City, the head office of Cathay Pacific, and the head offices of Dragonair and Hong Kong Airlines are also located on the airport platform.
The name of the island may be derived from the bareness of the island ('da chek lak'), that the shape of the island resembles the red tripletail Perch ('chek lap', 赤鱲), or that the fish was once abundant in its vicinity.
Before the building of the airport platform, it was a small and hilly island, about long, with an area of (other sources mention ).
It is the site of the Ancient Kiln Park and the Airport Island Angle Station of the Ngong Ping 360 cable car.
It later declined, with some 20 families remaining on the island when the plan for the construction of a new airport was announced in the early 1990s.
The original farming and fishing villages on the island were relocated to Chek Lap Kok Village (赤鱲角村) near Tung Chung on Lantau Island.
A third runway at Hong Kong Airport is being built as part of the Hong Kong International Airport Master Plan 2030.
Trade justice is a campaign by non-governmental organisations, plus efforts by other actors, to change the rules and practices of world trade in order to promote fairness.
The organizations campaigning for trade justice posit this concept in opposition to free trade, the advocates of which often also claim pro-poor outcomes.
Trade justice advocates argue that truly free trade does not and will never exist, and that governmental policies on trade should be in the public interest, rather than the interest of wealthy entities who try to influence trade negotiation to benefit their individual interests.
Advocates of trade justice argue that growing inequity and serious gaps in social justice, and the global export of terrorism, are symptoms of an economic system that permits harms to be exported to other countries, while importing their goods.
Indeed, although there are many who are still critical of free trade in general, there is a trend towards campaigning against what is seen as hypocrisy by developed countries in using protectionism against the poorest countries, especially in agricultural products, while requiring them to leave their own producers without protection.
The term trade justice has been widely adopted internationally by campaign groups, for example by the over 100 national platforms of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty where it is one of the four main demands.
The global institutions that are most often targeted in trade justice campaigns against the alleged injustices of the current international trade system are the World Trade Organization (WTO), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB).
Campaigners also lobby their own governments with the intention of creating pressure on them to prioritise poverty reduction when making international trade rules.
In trading blocs such as the European Union (EU), the campaigns seek to influence policy across a number of member state governments.
It is associated particularly with labour unions and environmentalists, in their criticism of disparities between the protections for capital versus those for labour and the environment.
The use of the term has expanded beyond campaigns to reform current trading practices, and the major institutions such as the World Trade Organization which embody them.
Academics such as Thomas Alured Faunce argue that the insertion of a constructive ambiguity such as valuing innovation in bilateral trade agreements (and then according normative and ongoing lobbying power to such textual negotiating truces by formally linking them with non-violation nullification of benefits provisions) may undermine democratic sovereignty with regard to construction of domestic policy, particularly in areas such as the environment and public health.
When developing countries export to developed country markets, they often face tariff barriers that can be as much as four times higher than those encountered by developed countries.
Most trade justice campaigners focus in some way on the agricultural subsidies of rich countries that make it difficult for farmers in poor countries to compete.
For example, they argue that the European Union's agricultural export subsidies encourage overproduction of goods such as tomatoes or sugar, which are then sold cheaply or 'dumped' in poor countries.
Recently rich countries have begun to talk about cutting export subsidies, but they often demand greater access to poor country markets in return.
This is because of their overwhelming lack of competitiveness – poor countries do not have huge stocks of exports waiting to be shipped to rich countries, instead most small farmers want to be able to sell their goods locally.
It passes through a number of locally well-known neighborhoods and districts, notably Eat Street in south Minneapolis and the traffic-restricted Nicollet Mall in the city's downtown.
Nicollet Avenue was named for early 19th-century French explorer and cartographer Joseph Nicollet, who led three expeditions in what is now Minnesota.
One block of the street between 29th Street and Lake Street was removed in the 1970s to build a K-Mart store which covers two city blocks, detouring southbound traffic to Blaisdell Avenue and northbound traffic to First Avenue South.
The city of Minneapolis has plans to restore Nicollet Avenue by reconstructing the K-Mart site into a new configuration that would include both commercial and residential development.
The Dan Patch Line, a separate railroad serving communities as far south as Northfield, Minnesota, ran parallel to the streetcar line between 60th Street and Diamond Lake Road.
Nicollet Station, a carhouse originally built for the Motor Line, was kept and expanded by TCRT, but was torn down as the system was dismantled in 1953–1954.
The station was located at Nicollet and 31st Street, just south of the Minneapolis Millers' Nicollet Park baseball field, which itself closed in 1955.
Technically, the avenue begins at Grant Street in Loring Park and continues south to West 29th Street/Cecil B. Newman Lane, where it is interrupted by a K-Mart store, and begins again at Lake Street, continuing through Richfield and Bloomington to 107th Street just north of the Minnesota River.
Nicollet is a major commercial street in Burnsville, forming one of two main streets of their Heart of the City downtown area.
Nicollet is a city street in Minneapolis and Burnsville, while it is designated as Hennepin County Road 52 between 98th Street in Bloomington and W 61st St in Minneapolis (just north of the Richfield border).
The Motor Line ran along Marquette Avenue in downtown Minneapolis, then turned west for one block at 13th Street South to reach Nicollet.
The line was constructed south to 31st Street in 1879, to 37th Street in 1884, and was extended further south to 50th Street in 1887.
It was converted to streetcar operation in 1890, and the Twin City Rapid Transit Company (TCRT) extended the route to Diamond Lake Road in 1911, 58th Street in 1928, and 62nd Street (now Minnesota State Highway 62) in 1947.
Streetcars on the road had a service frequency of one every 5 minutes off-peak, and ran about twice as often during the morning and afternoon peak periods.
However, the major focus of the mission was testing and evaluating new Space Shuttle flight safety techniques, which included new inspection and repair techniques.
The crewmembers used the new Orbiter Boom Sensor System (OBSS) – a set of instruments on a 50-foot (15 m) extension attached to the Canadarm.
The OBSS instrument package consists of visual imaging equipment and a Laser Dynamic Range Imager (LDRI) to detect problems with the shuttle's Thermal Protection System (TPS).
The crew scanned the leading edges of the wings, the nose cap, and the crew compartment for damage, as well as other potential problem areas engineers wished to inspect based on video taken during lift-off.
The CMG was carried up on the LMC (Lightweight Multi-Purpose Experiment Support Structure Carrier) at the rear of the payload bay, together with the TPS Repair Box.
On the third, they installed the External Stowage Platform and repaired the shuttle, the first time repairs had been carried out during a spacewalk on the exterior of a spacecraft in flight.
On 1 August, it was announced that protruding gap fillers on the front underside of the shuttle would be inspected and dealt with during the third spacewalk of the mission.
Later on the same day, NASA officials said that they were looking closely at a thermal blanket located next to the commander's window on the port side of the orbiter.
Published reports on 4 August 2005 said that wind tunnel testing had demonstrated that the orbiter was safe to re-enter with the billowed blanket.
The extra day was also used to move more items from the shuttle to the ISS, as uncertainty mounted during the mission as to when a shuttle would next visit the station.
Around 2.5 seconds after lift-off, a large bird struck near the top of the external fuel tank, and appeared in subsequent video frames to slide down the tank.
NASA did not expect this to hurt the mission because it did not hit the orbiter, and because the vehicle was traveling relatively slowly at the time.
A small fragment of thermal tile, estimated to be around 1.5 inches (38 mm) in size, was ejected from an edge tile of the front landing gear door at some point before SRB separation.
A small white area appeared on the tile as the piece detached, and the loose shard could be seen in a single frame of the video.
At 127.1 seconds after liftoff, and 5.3 seconds after SRB separation, a large piece of debris separated from the Protuberance Air Load (PAL) ramp, which is part of the external tank.
Based on the mass of the foam, and the velocity at which it would have struck the wing, NASA estimated it only exerted one-tenth the energy required to cause potential damage.
On 27 July 2005, NASA announced that it was postponing all Shuttle flights until the foam loss problem could be resolved.
Later in August, it became clear that a September launch date would not be possible, and that the earliest date for the next launch would be in March 2006.
With the destruction suffered by Michoud and NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi due to Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent flooding, the launch of the next shuttle mission (STS-121) was further delayed until 4 July 2006.
In December 2005 x-ray photographs of another tank showed that thermal expansion and contraction during filling, not human error, caused the cracks that resulted in foam loss.
On the third EVA of the mission, two areas on the underside of the shuttle where photographic surveying identified protruding gap fillers were dealt with.
The other, in a different location where there is a wider gap between tiles, simply functions to reduce the gap size between tiles, which in turn reduces heat transfer to the shuttle.
Even without this filler NASA did not expect the increased heat to cause a problem during reentry (it is present to avoid a level of heating which would only be problematic if experienced many times over a vehicle's design life).
An overview of the situation, including procedures for dealing with the protrusions, were sent electronically to the crew and printed aboard the shuttle.
During the third EVA, both fillers were successfully removed with less than a pound of force and without the need to use any tools.
The gap fillers were made of a cloth impregnated with ceramic – they were stiff and could be easily cut with a tool similar to a hacksaw blade.
Protruding gap fillers were a problem because they disrupted the normally laminar air flow under the orbiter during reentry, causing turbulence at lower speeds.
A turbulent air flow would result in a mixing of hot and cold air, which could have a major effect on the shuttle temperature.
The decision to make the repair balanced the risks of the EVA with the risks of leaving the protruding gap fillers as they were.
It is thought that gap filler protrusions of a similar magnitude were present on previous missions, but were not observed in-orbit.
Consideration was also given to the risks of elements of the procedure which would involve the ISS arm being used to carry Stephen K. Robinson below the shuttle, possibly the use of a sharp tool which had the potential to damage the EVA suit or shuttle tiles.
A further in-flight repair was considered to remove or clip a damaged thermal blanket located beneath the commander's window on the port side of the orbiter.
Wind tunnel testing by NASA determined that the thermal blanket was safe for re-entry, and plans for a fourth spacewalk were cancelled.
NASA began a tradition of playing music to astronauts during the Gemini program, which was first used to wake up a flight crew during Apollo 15.
Each track is specially chosen, often by their families, and usually has a special meaning to an individual member of the crew, or is applicable to their daily activities.
On flight day 10, the entire STS-114 crew, and the crew of Expedition 11 gathered to wish Rick Husband's son Matthew, a happy birthday.

Samhain is the least-celebrated of Danzig's major musical outlets and catalogs a transitional period in his musical career, bridging the gap between the punk rock of the Misfits and the dark, heavy metal and blues-influenced sound of Danzig.
Samhain's lyrics were much darker than those of the Misfits, with themes rooted in paganism and the occult and eventually the horrors of reality, as opposed to the sometimes cartoonish ghouls and ghosts of the Misfits.
Samhain's musical style was a dark, gritty, and experimental combination of punk, gothic rock, and on the last album, heavy metal.
The album was recorded at Reel Platinum studio in Lodi, New Jersey, excluding the introduction which was recorded at Eerie Von's home on a four track cassette.
Rubin and Danzig agreed, however, that the band's sound should be taken in a different direction, and so guitarist Damien was replaced by John Christ.
Sometime in 1987, Danzig decided to change the name of Samhain to match his surname, Danzig, a move that would prevent him from ever again having to start anew, regardless of lineup changes.
When London May was replaced with Chuck Biscuits on drums, Samhain officially ceased to exist, and the first Danzig lineup was complete.
Possibly to avoid potential legal disputes with former guitarist Damien, Danzig had overdubbed/re-recorded all of the original guitar tracks with his own guitar playing.
In interviews Danzig said that co-founder Eerie Von was not asked to participate because he had slandered former members of the band—notwithstanding Von's stand that he wouldn't have taken part in the reunion without Damien.
Samhain would reunite again in October 2011 and 2012 as part of a series of shows called the Danzig Legacy performances.
The lineup remained the same with London May and Steve Zing sharing Bass and Drum duties, and with Tommy Victor playing guitar.
Sometimes Danzig could be seen donning a bizarre horned leather S&M mask, and occasionally he and his bandmates went onstage covered in blood.
It is a member of the mustelid family (commonly referred to as the weasel family), and is in the monospecific genus Pekania.
The fisher is a forest-dwelling creature whose range covers much of the boreal forest in Canada to the northern United States.
Although an agile climber, it spends most of its time on the forest floor, where it prefers to forage around fallen trees.
They nurse and care for their kits until late summer, when they are old enough to set out on their own.
Their pelts were in such demand that they were extirpated from several parts of the United States in the early part of the 20th century.
Conservation and protection measures have allowed the species to rebound, but their current range is still reduced from its historic limits.
Some evidence shows that ancestors of the fisher migrated to North America during the Pliocene era between 2.5 and 5.0 million years ago.
The sexes have similar physical features, but they are sexually dimorphic in size, with the male being much larger than the female.
The color ranges from deep brown to black, although it appears to be much blacker in the winter when contrasted with white snow.
On the hind paws are coarse hairs that grow between the pads and the toes, giving them added traction when walking on slippery surfaces.
Fishers have highly mobile ankle joints that can rotate their hind paws almost 180°, allowing them to maneuver well in trees and climb down head-first.
A circular patch of hair on the central pad of their hind paws marks plantar glands that give off a distinctive odor.
Since these patches become enlarged during breeding season, they are likely used to make a scent trail to allow fishers to find each other so they can mate.
Although their primary prey is snowshoe hares and porcupines, they are also known to supplement their diet with insects, nuts, berries, and mushrooms.
Analyses of stomach contents and scat have found evidence of birds, small mammals, and even deer—the latter two indicating that they are not averse to eating carrion.
While the behavior is not common, fishers have been known to kill larger animals, such as wild turkey, bobcat (although, in most cases, confrontations tend to be dominated by the cat, that frequently prey on them and in fact is one of their main predators) and Canadian lynx.
The McClellan study in The Journal of Wildlife Management documents 14 fisher-caused mortalities of Canadian lynx from 1999 to 2011 in northern Maine, and found that predation was the leading source of mortality of lynx in the study area (18 deaths, 14 by fisher).
Observational studies show that fishers make repeated biting attacks on the face of a porcupine and kill it after about 25–30 minutes.
The female fisher begins to breed at about one year of age and her reproductive cycle is an almost year-long event.
Kits are completely dependent on their mother's milk for the first eight to ten weeks, after which they begin to switch to a solid diet.
After four months, kits become intolerant of their litter mates, and at five months, the mother pushes them out on their own.
This behavior is imposed on females by males due to dominance in size and a male's desire to increase mating success.
Although fishers are competent tree climbers, they spend most of their time on the forest floor and prefer continuous forest to other habitats.
They have been found in extensive conifer forests typical of the boreal forest, but are also common in mixed-hardwood and conifer forests.
Since female fishers require moderately large trees for denning, forests that have been heavily logged and have extensive second growth appear to be unsuitable for their needs.
They can be found as far north as Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories and as far south as the mountains of Oregon.
Isolated populations occur in the Sierra Nevada of California, throughout New England and the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, fishers were virtually eliminated from the southern and eastern parts of their range, including most American states and eastern Canada including Nova Scotia.
A combination of forest regrowth in abandoned farmlands and improved forest management practices increased available habitat and allowed remnant populations to recover.
In 1961, fishers from British Columbia and Minnesota were reintroduced in Oregon to the southern Cascades near Klamath Falls and to the Wallowa Mountains near La Grande.
From 2008 to 2011, about 40 fishers were reintroduced in the northern Sierra Nevada near Stirling City, complementing fisher populations in Yosemite National Park and along California's northern boundary between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Klamath Mountains.
In Idaho and California, fishers are protected through a closed trapping season, but they are not afforded any specific protection; however, in California the fisher has been granted threatened status under the Endangered Species Act.
Recent studies, as well as anecdotal evidence, show that fishers have begun making inroads into suburban backyards, farmland, and periurban areas in several US states and eastern Canada, as far south as most of northern Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Minnesota and Iowa, and even rural New Jersey.
Having virtually disappeared after the construction of the Cape Cod Canal in the early 1900s, some reports have shown that populations have become re-established on Cape Cod, although the populations are likely smaller than the populations in the western part of New England.
Fishers have had a long history of contact with humans, but most of it has been to the detriment of fisher populations.
They have been popular with trappers due to the value of their fur, which has been used for scarves and neck pieces.
It is reported that fisher tails were used in the making of spodiks, a form of ceremonial hat worn by Jews of certain Hasidic sects.
Between 1900 and 1940, fishers were threatened with near extinction in the southern part of their range due to overtrapping and alterations to their habitat.
Fishers became extirpated in many northern U.S. states after 1930, but were still abundant enough in Canada to maintain a harvest over 3,000 fishers per year.
Limited protection was afforded in the early 20th century, but total protection was not given to the few remaining fishers until 1934.
Fur farming was popular with other species such as mink and ermine, so the same techniques were thought to be applicable to fishers.
Yet at least one example shows a fisher kept in captivity that lived to be 10 years old, and another living to be about 14 years old, well beyond its natural lifespan of 7 years.
His primary interest was an attempt to measure the activity of fishers to determine how much food the animals required to function.
A 1979 study examined the stomach contents of all fishers trapped in the state of New Hampshire; cat hairs were found in only one of over 1,000 stomachs.
An informal unfinished 2011 study in suburban upstate New York found no cat remains in 24 scat or stomach samples, and an earlier published study found no cat in 226 Massachusetts samples.
In 2012, a study conducted by the Integral Ecology Research Center, UC Davis, U.S. Forest Service, and the Hoopa tribe showed that fishers in California were exposed to and killed by anticoagulant rodenticides associated with marijuana cultivation.
In this study, 79% of fishers that were tested in California were exposed to an average of 1.61 different anticoagulant rodenticides and four fishers died directly attributed to these toxicants.
A 2015 follow-up study building on these data determined that the trend of exposure and mortality from these toxicants increased to 85%, that California fishers were now exposed to an average of 1.73 different anticoagulant rodenticides, and that 9 more fishers died, bringing the total to 13.
The extent of marijuana cultivation within fishers' home ranges was highlighted in a 2013 study focusing on fisher survival and impacts from marijuana cultivation within the Sierra National Forest.
Langford uses the ecology and known habits of the fisher to weave a tale of survival and tolerance in the northern woods of Canada.
He has been the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba since 2012 and has served as premier since 2016.
He was previously a cabinet minister in the provincial government of Gary Filmon and a member of the House of Commons of Canada from 2000 to 2008.
He worked as a high school teacher in rural Manitoba from 1976 to 1979, where he also served as the local union rep, and later became a chartered financial consultant, serving as chair of the Canadian Insurance Agents Advisory Council (Sunlife).
Pallister began his political career at the provincial level, winning a by-election in Portage la Prairie on September 15, 1992 as a candidate of the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba.
He was re-elected in the 1995 provincial election, and was sworn into cabinet on May 9, 1995 as Minister of Government Services.
He carried out reforms that eliminated almost 3,000 pages of statutory regulations as part of a government campaign against any type of regulations, presided over changes to the Manitoba Disaster Assistance Board, and oversaw provincial flood claims.
Pallister defeated Paul-Emile Labossiere to win the Progressive Conservative nomination for Portage—Lisgar in the 1997 federal election, and formally resigned his seat in the legislature on April 28, 1997.
There were rumours that Pallister would campaign to succeed Gary Filmon as leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba in 2000, but he declined.
Pallister campaigned for the leadership of the federal Progressive Conservative Party in 1998, on a platform designed to win back voters who had left the party for Reform.
His supporters included former cabinet ministers Don Mazankowski and Charlie Mayer, Senator Consiglio Di Nino, and Jim Jones, the sole Progressive Conservative representative in the House of Commons of Canada from Ontario.
He finished fourth on the first ballot of the 1998 Progressive Conservative leadership election with 12.5% support, behind David Orchard, Hugh Segal, and the eventual winner, former Prime Minister Joe Clark.
In July 2000, Pallister wrote an open letter to Joe Clark announcing his intent to run in the next federal election with a dual endorsement from the Progressive Conservative and Canadian Alliance associations in Portage-Lisgar.
The latter party was a successor to Reform, and emerged from the efforts of Reformers to merge with Blue Tory elements in the Progressive Conservative Party who were opposed to Clark's Red Tory leadership.
Clark had previously rejected Pallister's proposal as a violation of the Progressive Conservative Party's constitution, and did not respond to the letter.
He won his new party's nomination for Portage—Lisgar over Dennis Desrochers and former MP Felix Holtmann, in a contest marked by some bitterness.
Pallister was elected to the House of Commons in the 2000 general election, defeating his nearest opponent by over 10,000 votes.
The Canadian Alliance and Progressive Conservative parties merged on December 7, 2003, and Pallister became a member of the resulting Conservative Party of Canada.
He initially considered launching a bid for the new party's leadership, but instead endorsed outgoing Alliance leader Stephen Harper for the position.
Pallister gained increased national prominence in September 2005 after drawing attention to $750,000 worth of apparent spending irregularities in the office of David Dingwall, the Chief Executive Officer of the Royal Canadian Mint.
Dingwall resigned after the accusations were made public, but later claimed that his expenditures were inaccurately reported and fell within official guidelines.
An independent review completed in late October 2005 found only minor discrepancies in Dingwall's expenses, amounting to less than $7,000 in total.
The Conservatives won a minority government, and Pallister requested that incoming Prime Minister Stephen Harper not consider him for a cabinet portfolio while he was making his decision about entering provincial politics.
On February 17, 2006, he announced that he would not seek the provincial party leadership and would remain a federal MP.
He was appointed as chair of the House of Commons standing committee on Finance, and in 2007 indicated that he wanted to remove financial access to offshore tax havens such as Barbados.
Later in the year, he was appointed parliamentary secretary to the Minister of International Trade and to the Minister for International Cooperation.
On July 28, 2012, he became the presumptive nominee when the nomination process closed with no other candidates entered, and was acclaimed as leader on July 30, 2012.
On April 14, 2016, a CBC News report revealed that Pallister had traveled to the Central American nation of Costa Rica 15 times since elected to Manitoba MLA in 2012.
He led his party to a decisive victory over the NDP, claiming 40 of the 57 available seats in the legislature – the biggest majority government in Manitoba history.
Mucopolysaccharidoses are a group of metabolic disorders caused by the absence or malfunctioning of lysosomal enzymes needed to break down molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).
These long chains of sugar carbohydrates occur within the cells that help build bone, cartilage, tendons, corneas, skin and connective tissue.
Individuals with mucopolysaccharidosis either do not produce enough of one of the eleven enzymes required to break down these sugar chains into simpler molecules, or they produce enzymes that do not work properly.
The result is permanent, progressive cellular damage which affects appearance, physical abilities, organ and system functioning, and, in most cases, mental development.
The mucopolysaccharidoses are part of the lysosomal storage disease family, a group of more than 40 genetic disorders that result when the lysosome organelle in animal cells malfunctions.
The lysosome can be thought of as the cell's recycling center because it processes unwanted material into other substances that the cell can utilize.
These features may not be apparent at birth but progress as storage of GAGs affects bone, skeletal structure, connective tissues, and organs.
Neurological complications may include damage to neurons (which send and receive signals throughout the body) as well as pain and impaired motor function.
This results from compression of nerves or nerve roots in the spinal cord or in the peripheral nervous system, the part of the nervous system that connects the brain and spinal cord to sensory organs such as the eyes and to other organs, muscles, and tissues throughout the body.
Depending on the mucopolysaccharidosis subtype, affected individuals may have normal intellect or have cognitive impairments, may experience developmental delay, or may have severe behavioral problems.
Many individuals have hearing loss, either conductive (in which pressure behind the eardrum causes fluid from the lining of the middle ear to build up and eventually congeal), neurosensory (in which tiny hair cells in the inner ear are damaged), or both.
Communicating hydrocephalus—in which the normal reabsorption of cerebrospinal fluid is blocked and causes increased pressure inside the head—is common in some of the mucopolysaccharidoses.
The eye's cornea often becomes cloudy from intracellular storage, and glaucoma and degeneration of the retina also may affect the patient's vision.
Physical symptoms generally include coarse or rough facial features (including a flat nasal bridge, thick lips, and enlarged mouth and tongue), short stature with disproportionately short trunk (dwarfism), dysplasia (abnormal bone size and/or shape) and other skeletal irregularities, thickened skin, enlarged organs such as liver (hepatomegaly) or spleen (splenomegaly), hernias, and excessive body hair growth.
In this disorder, excessive amounts of fatty materials known as lipids (another principal component of living cells) are stored, in addition to sugars.
Persons with mucolipidosis may share some of the clinical features associated with the mucopolysaccharidoses (certain facial features, bony structure abnormalities, and damage to the brain), and increased amounts of the enzymes needed to break down the lipids are found in the blood.
When both people in a couple have the defective gene, each pregnancy carries with it a one in four chance that the child will be affected.
Unaffected siblings and select relatives of a child with one of the mucopolysaccharidoses may carry the recessive gene and could pass it to their own children.
Enzyme assays (testing a variety of cells or body fluids in culture for enzyme deficiency) are also used to provide definitive diagnosis of one of the mucopolysaccharidoses.
Prenatal diagnosis using amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling can verify if a fetus either carries a copy of the defective gene or is affected with the disorder.
Genetic counseling can help parents who have a family history of the mucopolysaccharidoses determine if they are carrying the mutated gene that causes the disorders.
Although each mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) differs clinically, most patients generally experience a period of normal development followed by a decline in physical and/or mental function.
Although no studies have been done to determine the frequency of MPS I in the United States, studies in British Columbia estimate that 1 in 100,000 babies born has Hurler syndrome.
Hunter syndrome has two clinical subtypes and (since it shows X-linked recessive inheritance) is the only one of the mucopolysaccharidoses in which the mother alone can pass the defective gene to a son.
These include progressive dementia, aggressive behavior, hyperactivity, seizures, some deafness and loss of vision, and an inability to sleep for more than a few hours at a time.
Affected children show a marked decline in learning between ages 2 and 6, followed by eventual loss of language skills and loss of some or all hearing.
In the syndrome's second stage, aggressive behavior, hyperactivity, profound dementia, and irregular sleep may make children difficult to manage, particularly those who retain normal physical strength.
In the syndrome's last stage, children become increasingly unsteady on their feet and most are unable to walk by age 10.
Other problems may include narrowing of the airway passage in the throat and enlargement of the tonsils and adenoids, making it difficult to eat or swallow.
There are four distinct types of Sanfilippo syndrome, each caused by alteration of a different enzyme needed to completely break down the heparan sulfate sugar chain.
Little clinical difference exists between these four types but symptoms appear most severe and seem to progress more quickly in children with type A.
Its two subtypes result from the missing or deficient enzymes N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (GALNS) (Type A) or beta-galactosidase (Type B) needed to break down the keratan sulfate sugar chain.
Clinical features are similar in both types but appear milder in Morquio Type B. Onset is between ages 1 and 3.
Neurological complications include spinal nerve and nerve root compression resulting from extreme, progressive skeletal changes, particularly in the ribs and chest; conductive and/or neurosensitive loss of hearing and clouded corneas.
Skeletal abnormalities include a bell-shaped chest, a flattening or curvature of the spine, shortened long bones, and dysplasia of the hips, knees, ankles, and wrists.
The bones that stabilize the connection between the head and neck can be malformed (odontoid hypoplasia); in these cases, a surgical procedure called spinal cervical bone fusion can be lifesaving.
Children with MPS VI, Maroteaux–Lamy syndrome, usually have normal intellectual development but share many of the physical symptoms found in Hurler syndrome.
Neurological complications include clouded corneas, deafness, thickening of the dura (the membrane that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord), and pain caused by compressed or traumatized nerves and nerve roots.
An enzyme replacement therapy was tested on patients with MPS VI and was successful in that it improved growth and joint movement.
An experiment was then carried out to see whether an injection of the missing enzyme into the hips would help the range of motion and pain.
MPS VII, Sly syndrome, one of the least common forms of the mucopolysaccharidoses, is estimated to occur in fewer than one in 250,000 births.
In its rarest form, Sly syndrome causes children to be born with hydrops fetalis, in which extreme amounts of fluid are retained in the body.
Neurological symptoms may include mild to moderate intellectual disability by age 3, communicating hydrocephalus, nerve entrapment, corneal clouding, and some loss of peripheral and night vision.
Symptoms included nodular soft-tissue masses located around joints, with episodes of painful swelling of the masses and pain that ended spontaneously within 3 days.
Other traits included mild facial changes, acquired short stature as seen in other MPS disorders, and normal joint movement and intelligence.
Changes to the diet will not prevent disease progression, but limiting milk, sugar, and dairy products has helped some individuals experiencing excessive mucus.
Surgery can also correct hernias, help drain excessive cerebrospinal fluid from the brain, and free nerves and nerve roots compressed by skeletal and other abnormalities.
In July 2006, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a synthetic version of I2S produced by Shire Pharmaceuticals Group, called Elaprase, as a treatment for MPS type II (Hunter syndrome).
The infloresences, erect at first but later pendulous, appear between the leaf stems, although as a result of leaf-fall they may appear to have arisen from below the leaves.
Average maximum temperatures range between 17 °C and 20 °C in winter and from 24 °C to 27 °C in the summer.
They are widely grown in warm temperate climates, and there are also occasional healthy specimens in tropical areas such as Hawaii.
With an area of 2.35 km², it is the largest island in North District, the second largest being Wong Wan Chau (Double Island).
Part of the temple building was used for the Tat O School until the school was moved to a new location in 1957.
The Kat O Nature Trail spans 1 km long, stretching from the Kat O Ferry Pier to Ko Tei Teng ().
142 Kat O Main Street) was opened in 2010 by Kat O villagers, volunteer groups and the government to raise public awareness of geo-conservation, as part of the Hong Kong Geopark.
It seeks to strengthen the public's rights under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and related laws and opposes attempts to weaken them.
The Campaign also provides advice to the public, assistance to people challenging unreasonable refusals to disclose information and runs training courses on freedom of information.
The Campaign is a not-for-profit company, unaffiliated to any political party, (registration number 1781526) governed by a board of non-executive directors.
The Campaign was founded in 1984 by citizen campaigner Des Wilson to secure a freedom of information law in the UK.
The organisation was officially launched on 5 January 1984 with the support of the 3 main opposition party leaders of the time and 150 MPs from all parties.
The Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, opposed FOI in principle saying that a legal power to force ministers to disclose information would weaken ministers’ accountability to Parliament.
They worked to keep FOI on the political agenda until the climate became more favourable, while seeking to introduce specific rights to information through private members’ bills.
The Campaign also drafted a bill to reform section 2 of the Official Secrets Act 1911, a catch-all provision which made the unauthorised disclosure of any official information a criminal offence.
The Protection of Official Information Bill, introduced by Richard Shepherd MP in 1988, would have replaced section 2 with a narrower measure that included a public interest defence.
The bill was defeated after the government imposed an unprecedented three-line whip on its own MPs at second reading requiring them to vote it down.
Mrs Thatcher's Conservative government later introduced the Official Secrets Act 1989, which repealed section 2 of the 1911 Act, but rejected all efforts to insert a public interest defence.
In February 1993, another of the Campaign's private members' bills for a full FOI Act, the Right to Know Bill, was introduced by Mark Fisher (politician) MP and debated for a total of 21 hours in the Commons.
With the whistleblowing charity Public Concern at Work the Campaign drafted the Whistleblower Protection Bill, introduced as a ten-minute rule bill by Tony Wright MP early in 1995.
Shortly after the Labour Party won the 1997 general election, Richard Shepherd MP drew a high place in the private members’ ballot and introduced the Public Interest Disclosure Bill, which received Royal Assent in July 1998.
Following Labour's election in 1997, the Campaign's chairman James Cornford was appointed a special adviser by David Clark, the cabinet minister responsible for drawing up the government's FOI proposals.
But after a well-received white paper, Your Right to Know (CM 3818), Clark was relieved of this role and responsibility for FOI was moved to the Home Office under Jack Straw MP.
These started in 2006 when the government published draft regulations to make it easier for public authorities to refuse FOI requests on cost grounds.
The Campaign has opposed all these so far unsuccessful initiatives - though in 2010 a measure giving the Royal Family greater protection from FOI was passed.
The Campaign provides advice to the public about their rights to information and has published a short guide to the Freedom of Information Act and related laws.
It assists individuals who have been refused information to complain to the Information Commissioner or appeal against Information Commissioner decisions to the Information Rights Tribunal.
It has been instrumental in a number of successful Tribunal appeals involving the police's failure to provide information to a murder victim's family, relatives denied information about a hospital death, toxic land contamination, the withholding of an MP's policy correspondence on the spurious grounds that disclosure would breach his privacy, and in overturning a decision that would have introduced an entirely new layer of secrecy about Ombudsman inquiries.
It has assisted a requester bring a judicial review of a ministerial veto blocking the release of a report on the HS2 rail link.
In January 2015 the Campaign celebrated its 30th anniversary with an event hosted by ARTICLE 19 at the Free Word Centre at which Ian Hislop and Des Wilson spoke.
It marked the occasion by selling special edition T-shirts featuring Tony Blair (who has described the introduction of FOI as one of his biggest mistakes) in a cartoon designed for it by political cartoonist Steve Bell.
He attended high school at The Pennington School and received a graduate degree in playwrighting from Mason Gross School of the Arts, a part of Rutgers University.
He was born in Esquesing Township (today part of Halton Hills, Ontario), the third child of Northern Irish immigrants Robert Murray Stevens and Anna Bailey McKnight.
From 1963 to 1967 Stevens, was embroiled in an attempt to form the first new Canadian chartered bank in 50 years, Westbank.
Westerners saw it as yet another eastern-controlled firm, Conservatives were put off by the association with Coyne, and the feathers of the establishment banks were ruffled.
He was first elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 1972 federal election as a Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament, defeating Liberal incumbent cabinet minister John Roberts in the riding of York-Simcoe.
At the time, he had only three years parliamentary experience, but five of the other candidates had also entered parliament in 1972.
That was seen as a surprising move, since Stevens was considered right-wing, and Clark was a moderate on the party's left wing.
Stevens had been the top official campaign spender (at $294,107), but Mulroney, who did not provide figures, is widely thought to have exceeded that amount.
Stevens turned against Clark, and was an early supporter of Mulroney's leadership bid which culminated in victory at the 1983 Progressive Conservative leadership convention.
In December 1987, a special commission of inquiry, headed by Justice William Dickens Parker, ruled Stevens had violated conflict-of-interest allegations on fourteen counts.
David Scott, brother of Ian Scott, as well as Marlys Edwardh were prominent lawyers involved in the commission, which cost more than $2.9 million.
Edwardh had studied search and seizure, and the Parker commission was one of the first to make extensive use of subpoena.
Stevens won the party nomination in his riding once again, but Prime Minister Mulroney refused to sign Stevens's nomination papers, forcing the riding association to nominate another candidate.
The court ruled that Parker's definition of conflict of interest exceeded that of the guidelines governing ministers in the Mulroney Cabinet and that the step exceeded Parker's mandate.
In voiding the definition of conflict of interest, the judge found that Stevens's behaviour did not violate the guidelines that governed him since no valid guidelines had existed.
Stevens returned to prominence as a bitter opponent of the merger of the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservatives into the Conservative Party of Canada.
In 2007, after Tracy Parsons's resignation as leader of the Progressive Canadian Party, Stevens became that party's interim leader and remained in that position until his death, nine years later.
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are an epithelial cell line derived from the ovary of the Chinese hamster, often used in biological and medical research and commercially in the production of therapeutic proteins.
In 1957, Theodore T. Puck obtained a female Chinese hamster from Dr. George Yerganian's laboratory at the Boston Cancer Research Foundation and used it to derive the original Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line.
Since then, CHO cells have been a cell line of choice because of their rapid growth in suspension culture and high protein production.
Having a very low chromosome number (2n=22) for a mammal, the Chinese hamster is also a good model for radiation cytogenetics and tissue culture.
Also, CHO cells do not express the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which makes them ideal in the investigation of various EGFR mutations.
Since the original CHO cell line was described in 1956, many variants of the cell line have been developed for various purposes.
In 1957, CHO-K1 was generated from a single clone of CHO cells, CHO-K1 was mutagenized with ethyl methanesulfonate to generate a cell line lacking dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) activity, referred to as CHO-DXB11 (also referred to as CHO-DUKX).
Subsequently, CHO cells were mutagenized with gamma radiation to yield a cell line in which both alleles of the DHFR locus were completely eliminated, termed CHO-DG44 These DHFR-deficient strains require glycine, hypoxanthine, and thymidine for growth.
This genetic selection scheme remains one of the standard methods to establish transfected CHO cell lines for the production of recombinant therapeutic proteins.
The plasmid DNA carrying the two genes is then transfected into cells, and the cells are grown under selective conditions in a thymidine-lacking medium.
To obtain a few stably transfected cell lines with the desired phenotypic characteristics, evaluating several hundred candidate cell lines may be necessary.
The CHO and CHO-K1 cell lines can be obtained from a number of biological resource centres such as the European Collection of Cell Cultures, which is part of the Health Protection Agency Culture Collections.
CHO cells are also suitable for human applications, as they allow post-translational modifications to recombinant proteins which can function in humans.
Banaba Island (; also Ocean Island), an island of Kiribati in the Pacific Ocean, and as a solitary raised coral island west of the Gilbert Island chain, it is the Westernmost of Kiribati, that is east of Nauru.
It has an area of 6.0 km, and the highest point on the island is also the highest point in Kiribati, at 81 metres (266 ft) high.
Prior to the relocation of its inhabitants at the end of World War II, there were four villages on the island - Ooma (Uma), Tabiang, Tapiwa (Tabwewa), and Buakonikai.
A three-year drought starting in 1873 killed over three quarters of the population and wiped out almost all the trees; many of those who survived left the island on passing ships to escape the drought, and only some were able to return, often years later.
The Pacific Islands Company, under John T. Arundel, identified that the petrified guano on Banaba consisted of high grade phosphate rock.
The terms of the licenses were changed to provide for the payment of royalties and compensation for mining damage, amounting to less than 0.1% of the profits the PIC made during its first 13 years.
In 1919 the governments of the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand took over the operations of the Pacific Phosphate Company.
The phosphate rock-mining (for fertiliser), which was carried out from 1900 to 1979, stripped away 90% of the island's surface, the same process which occurred on Nauru from 1907 to the 1980s.
The British authorities relocated most of the population to Rabi Island, Fiji after 1945, with subsequent waves of emigration in 1977 and 1981-1983.
In the 1970s the Banabans sued in the Court of England and Wales claiming that the UK Crown owed a fiduciary duty to the islanders when fixing the royalty payments and the difference in proper rates should be paid.
The woodland of Banaba is now limited to the coastal area and is made up mostly of mangoes, flame trees, guavas, tapioca and common Kiribati shrubs such as the saltbush.
Despite being part of Kiribati, its municipal administration is by the Rabi Council of Leaders and Elders, which is based on Rabi Island, in Fiji.
On 19 December 2005, Teitirake Corrie, the Rabi Island Council's representative to the Parliament of Kiribati, said that the Rabi Council was considering giving the right to remine Banaba Island to the government of Fiji.
This followed the disappointment of the Rabi Islanders at the refusal of the Kiribati Parliament to grant a portion of the A$614 million trust fund from phosphate proceeds to elderly Rabi islanders.
On 23 December, Reteta Rimon, Kiribati's High Commissioner to Fiji, clarified that Rabi Islanders were, in fact, entitled to Kiribati government benefits—but only if they returned to Kiribati.
Kiribati was using Banaban phosphate money for its own enrichment, he said; of the five thousand Banabans in Fiji, there were fewer than one hundred aged seventy or more who would be claiming pensions.
The stated wish of the Kiribati government to reopen mining on Banaba is strongly opposed by many in the Banaban diaspora.
One reason given for the maintenance of a community on Banaba, at a monthly cost of F$12,000, is that if the island were to become uninhabited, the Kiribati government might take over the administration of the island, and integrate it with the rest of the country.
On the death of Charles the Fat in 888, he styled himself King of Aquitaine and did so until 889 or his death, after which the title fell into abeyance.
Ranulf may have been selected as a king by the Aquitainian nobles, for they accepted King Odo of France in 892 only after Ranulf's death.
He is recorded to have taken custody of Charles, the young son of Louis the Stammerer and he certainly did not recognise Odo as king.
Quo audito, Ramnulfus, dux maximae partis Aquitaniae, cum sibi faventibus venit ad eum, adducens secum Karolum puerum, filium Hludowici regis; et iuravit illi quae digna fuerunt, simul et de ipso puerulo.
Upon hearing this, Ranulf, duke of the greater part of Aquitaine, with his supporters came to him, bringing with him the child, Charles, the son of King Louis; and he swore to him who was worthy of it [i.e., Odo], as did the boy.
Ranulf founded the viscountcy of Thouars at about this time, as part of a larger movement to create viscounts with powers over regional fortresses to man them against the Vikings.
Ebalus or Ebles Manzer or Manser (c. 870 – 935) was Count of Poitou and Duke of Aquitaine on two occasions: from 890 to 892; and then from 902 until his death in 935 (Poitou) and from 928 until 932 (Aquitaine).
Upon the death of his father (who was poisoned), Ebles assumed his father’s mantle and acquired the role of Count of Poitou.
Aymar, a descendant of one of Ramnulf II’s predecessors, challenged Ebles right to rule, as Ebles was merely a bastard son.
In 892, Aymar, who was supported by Eudes of France, overthrew Ebles, and Ebles fled to the safety of his father’s allies, Count Gerald of Aurillac and William the Pious, count of Avergne and Duke of Aquitaine.
In 902, Ebles, with the assistance of William the Pious, a distant relative, conquered Poitiers while Aymar was away, and reestablished himself in his former position.
He restructured Poitou by creating new viscounties in Aulnay and Melle and dissolved the title and position of Viscount of Poitou upon the death of its holder, Maingaud, in 925.
In 911 he, with two other French commanders were aligned in opposition to Rollo, a Norwegian invader who had plundered the countryside.
A panic assuredly fell upon the heroic commander, a species of mental infirmity discernible in his descendants: the contagious terror unnerved the host.
To redeem his honor and quiet the ridicule, Ebles accepted a challenge to confront the remnant of the Danish army that remained camped on the Mont-Levis.
In 927, William the Younger died, and he left his title to his brother Acfred; but Acfred did not live even a year.
He withdrew from him access to Berry, then in 932 he transferred the titles of Duke of Aquitaine and Count of Auvergne to the Count of Toulouse, Raymond Pons.
Moreover, the territory of La Marche, which was under the control of the lord of Charroux, vassal of Ebles, was transformed into an independent county.
Coogan's Run was a 1995 UK TV series featuring Steve Coogan as a series of odd characters living in the fictional town of Ottle.
It was written by various people including Coogan, Patrick Marber, David Tyler, Graham Linehan, Arthur Mathews, Geoffrey Perkins and Henry Normal.
The series consists of six self-contained stories, although Coogan's characters from the other episodes in the series make occasional cameo appearances.
Paul gets into trouble with three criminal brothers after witnessing a bank robbery and being forced to identify them in court.
With similarities to Coogan's most famous creation, Alan Partridge, Gareth attempts to socialise and make a big sale during a sales conference while constantly checking to see if his car is safe.
Ernest Moss (Coogan), a general repairman, attempts to stop a large new property development in his home village while making repairs to his fellow villagers' homes.
The manager of his club, Clement (Graham Fellows), thinks Clint is real and gets his nephew to photograph him in a compromising position with Mike's girlfriend, Debs.
When the brothers lost a children's quiz show in 1975, they burned down the studio, killing their parents and one of the sisters from the opposing team.
20 years later, the brothers kidnap their therapist and the surviving sister, Cathy (Rebecca Front), and make them re-enact the quiz on the roof of a car park with the now-transsexual quiz host, Jeremy (Angela) Monkhead.
The Curator: Tim Fleck (Coogan), the curator of a very dull museum, is disgusted to find that his museum is being taken over to build a steak house upon his mother's death.
William I (22 March 875 – 6 July 918), called the Pious, was the Count of Auvergne from 886 and Duke of Aquitaine from 893, succeeding the Poitevin ruler Ebalus Manser.
This was especially striking since most monasteries were privately owned and the appointment of abbots and officials was left to that family or individual, leading to the appointment of untrained and unordained abbots and officials.
He had no sons of his own and was succeeded by a nephew, William the Younger, son of his sister Adelinda.
William II the Young (died 12 December 926) was the Count of Auvergne and Duke of Aquitaine from 918 to his death, succeeding his uncle William I.
Immediately after succeeding his uncle, he made war on the Burgundians and Normans, who refused to accept Rudolph as king of France.
He later revolted and Rudolph led an army into Aquitaine, but was called back to defend the Rhine from the Magyars.
In 924 the duke Raoul of Burgundy came up to the Loire river and William was forced to make his submission to him.
Upon which Raoul, relieved that such a powerful vassal accepted his suzerainty, gave him back the counties of Berry and Macon and the town of Bourges.
Acfred (died 927) was briefly Count of Auvergne and Duke of Aquitaine between 926 and his death, succeeding his brother William II.
Acfred possessed very little land in Auvergne, most of it having been transformed into allods of the leading men long before.
Based on surviving charters, he did not control the Lyonnais or the Velay, though he held some property in the latter.
When Acfred drew up a will in 927, he granted away all that remained of the comital fisc to his retainers.
Though Adhemar of Chabannes called Ebalus Manzer his successor, no contemporary documents evidence Ebalus in Auvergne, though he certainly had a claim to it.
Between 940 and 941, Raymond Pons of Toulouse controlled the region, and, in 955, William III of Aquitaine invaded and held it.
He claimed the Duchy of Aquitaine from his father's death, but the royal chancery did not recognise his ducal title until the year before his own death.
Shortly after the death of King Rudolph in 936, he was constrained to forfeit some land to Hugh the Great by Louis IV.
After the death of Hugh, his son Hugh Capet was named duke of Aquitaine, but he never tried to take up his fief, as William reconciled with Lothair.
His father was duke Ebles Manzer, who already was a man in his middle years when he was born in about 913.
But her parentage is not reliably documented of their era and is regarded only as a good possibility by usual modern genealogical literature.
He opened the palace of Poitiers to him and treated him as royalty, regarding him as the true heir to the French throne.
Their marriage was stormy, in part because of William's indulgence in the pursuit of women and, as a hunting aficionado, wild animals.
She banished his paramours, they separated twice for long periods, and finally he retired to a monastery, as his father had done, leaving Emma to rule Aquitaine in the name of their son William until 1004.
William the Great (; 969 – 31 January 1030) was duke of Aquitaine (as ) and count of Poitou (as or III) from 990 until his death.
Upon the death of the emperor Henry II, he was offered the kingdom of Italy but declined to contest the title against Conrad II.
He was the son and successor of William IV by his wife Emma of Blois, daughter of Theobald I of Blois.
He was a friend to Bishop Fulbert of Chartres, who found in him another Maecenas, and founded a cathedral school at Poitiers.
He himself was very well educated, a collector of books, and turned the prosperous court of Aquitaine into the learning centre of Southern France.
He had to give up Confolens, Ruffec, and Chabanais to compensate William II of Angoulême, but Fulbert negotiated a treaty (1020) outlining the reciprocal obligations of vassal and suzerain.
His piety and culture brought peace to his vast territories, and he tried to stem the tide of feudal warfare then destroying the unity of many European nations by supporting the current Peace and Truce of God movements initiated by Pope and Church.
His court was of an international flavour, receiving ambassadors from the Emperor Henry II, Alfonso V of León, Canute the Great, and even his suzerain, Robert of France.
Upon the death of Henry II without an obvious heir, some of the nobles of the kingdom of Italy looked for a separate candidate to elect rather than maintain their union with Germany by accepting its election of Conrad II.
An embassy led by Ulric Manfred, the marquis of Susa, came to France in 1024 and remained for a year, attempting to interest Robert's son Hugh Magnus and then (after Robert's refusal to permit this) William, whose character and court impressed many.
William considered the proposal seriously but, upon visiting Italy himself, he found the political situation so unfavorable that he renounced the crown for himself and his heirs.
His reign ended in peace and he died on the last (or second to last) day of January 1030 at Maillezais, which he founded and where he is buried.
His second wife was Sancha of Gascony (or Brisa/Prisca), daughter of Duke William II Sánchez of Gascony and sister of Duke Sancho VI William.
William VI (1004 – March 1038), called the Fat, was Duke of Aquitaine and Count of Poitou (as William IV) between 1030 and his death.
Throughout his reign, he had to face the hostility of his stepmother, Agnes of Burgundy, the third wife of his father, who had remarried to Geoffrey Martel, then count of Vendôme.
He reformed the administration of Poitiers by naming a provost and died there, being buried at Maillezais, being succeeded by his half-brother Odo.
He was a member of the House of Poitiers, the second son of William V of Aquitaine, the eldest by his second wife Brisca, daughter of William II of Gascony.
He was subscribing donation charters to Saint-Cyprien with his father and mother and his brother Theobald, who died young, before 1018.
William VIII was one of the leaders of the allied army called to help Ramiro I of Aragon in the Siege of Barbastro (1064).
This expedition was the first campaign organized by the papacy, namely Pope Alexander II, against a Muslim occupied city in the Emirate of Zaragoza, and the precursor of the later Crusades movement.
During William VIII's rule, the alliance with the southern kingdoms of modern Spain was a political priority as shown by the marriage of all his daughters to Iberian kings.
After he divorced his first two wives, the first due to infertility, he married a third time to a much younger woman who was also his cousin Robert I of Burgundy's daughter.
This marriage produced a son, but William VIII had to visit Rome in the early 1070s to persuade the pope to recognize his children from his third marriage as legitimate.
The island is one of two that lie in the entrance to the river at Shantou and is the inner one, then called Masu.
Though his political and military achievements have a certain historical importance, he is best known as the earliest troubadour—a vernacular lyric poet in the Occitan language—whose work survived.
His birth was a cause of great celebration at the Aquitanian court, but the Church at first considered him illegitimate because of his father's earlier divorces and his parents' consanguinity.
This obliged his father to make a pilgrimage to Rome soon after his birth to seek Papal approval of his third marriage and the young William's legitimacy.
It has been generally believed that he was first married in 1088, at age sixteen, to Ermengarde, daughter of Fulk IV of Anjou.
However, Ruth Harvey's 1993 critical investigation shows the assumption of William's marriage to Ermengarde to be based largely on an error in a nineteenth-century secondary source and it is highly likely that Philippa of Toulouse was William's only wife.
Tyre erroneously identifies Ermengarde's mother as Bertrade of Montfort, the sister of Amalricus de Montfort when her mother was in fact Audearde or Hildegarde of Beaugency.
It is therefore not only improbable that William married Ermengarde, it is likely that Ermengarde - at least as a wife of William - never existed.
His second son, Raymond, eventually became the Prince of Antioch in the Holy Land, and his daughter Agnes married firstly Aimery V of Thouars and then Ramiro II of Aragon, reestablishing dynastic ties with that ruling house.
the First Crusade) and leave for the Holy Land, but William was perhaps more interested in exploiting the absence on Crusade of Raymond IV of Toulouse, his wife's uncle, to press her claim to Toulouse; on a more practical level, he also had no heir at that time.
The Duchess was an admirer of Robert of Arbrissel, and persuaded William to grant him land in northern Poitou to establish a religious community dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
This became Fontevraud Abbey, which would enjoy the patronage of their granddaughter Eleanor and would remain important until its dissolution during the French Revolution.
Likely motivated by many factors, religious as well as secular, William joined the Crusade of 1101, an expedition inspired by the success of the First Crusade in 1099.
In September 1101, his entire army was destroyed by the Seljuk Turks led by Kilij Arslan I at Heraclea; William himself barely escaped, and, according to Orderic Vitalis, he reached Antioch with only six surviving companions.
As the bishop was at the point of pronouncing the anathema, the duke threatened him with a sword, swearing to kill him if he did not pronounce absolution.
Bishop Peter, surprised, pretended to comply, but when the duke, satisfied, released him, the bishop completed reading the anathema, before calmly presenting his neck and inviting the duke to strike.
Relations between the Duke and his elder son William also became strained—although it is unlikely that he ever embarked upon a seven-year revolt in order to avenge his mother's mistreatment, as Ralph of Diceto claimed, only to be captured by his father.
Ralph claimed that the revolt began in 1113; but at that time, the young William was only thirteen and his father's liaison with Dangerose had not yet begun.
Father and son improved their relationship after the marriage of the younger William to Aenor of Châtellerault, Dangerose's daughter by her husband, Aimery I de Rochefoucauld, Viscount of Châtellerault, in 1121.
William was readmitted to the Church around 1120, after making concessions to it that may have included participating in the Reconquista efforts underway in Spain.
During his sojourn in Spain, William was given a rock crystal vase by a Muslim ally that he later bequeathed to his granddaughter Eleanor.
In 1122, William lost control of Toulouse, Philippa's dower land, to Alfonso Jordan, the son and heir of Raymond IV, who had taken Toulouse after the death of William IV.
William's greatest legacy to history was not as a warrior but as a troubadour—a lyric poet employing the Romance vernacular language called Provençal or Occitan.
It is possible, however, that at least in part it is not based on facts, but on literal interpretation of his songs, written in first person; in Song 5, for example, he describes how he deceived two women.
He is among the first Romance vernacular poets of the Middle Ages, one of the founders of a tradition that would culminate in Dante, Petrarch, and François Villon.
He also added to the palace of the counts of Poitou (which had stood since the Merovingian era), later added to by his granddaughter Eleanor of Aquitaine and surviving in Poitiers as the Palace of Justice to this day.
Then the Poitevin duke many times related, with rhythmic verses and witty measures, the miseries of his captivity, before kings, magnates, and Christian assemblies.
Hei Ling Chau (), formerly Hayling Chau, is an island of Hong Kong, located east of Silver Mine Bay and Chi Ma Wan of Lantau Island.
It was settled at the end of the 19th century, and by 1951, there were 10 families numbering about 100 people on the island.
It was designated as a leper colony in 1950 and the islanders were relocated to Tai Pak, Shap Long and Cheung Chau.
The Hei Ling Chau Addiction Treatment Centre occupies the north-western part of the island and students often get a chance to visit the island by joining preventive drug education programmes.
The Lai Sun Correctional Institution is the first Vocational Training Centre operated by the Correctional Services Department which aims to train inmates to develop useful and market-oriented vocational skills before re-integrated into society.
In 2006 CLP explored the possibility of constructing a second commercial wind turbine installation on Hei Ling Chau Island in order to promote the use of renewable energy in Hong Kong.
They live in soil or objects lying on the forest floor, the first live specimen discovered hiding under a mass of dead leaves and soil in a drain beside woodland.
The ferry service from Peng Chau, operated by Hong Kong & Kowloon Ferry, continues on to Hei Ling Chau for some sailings, however a permit is required to disembark.
William X (Guillém X in Occitan) (1099 – 9 April 1137), called the Saint, was Duke of Aquitaine, Duke of Gascony, and Count of Poitou (as William VIII) from 1126 to 1137.
Later that same year, much to Philippa's ire, Duke William IX mortgaged Toulouse to Philippa's cousin, Bertrand of Toulouse, and then left on Crusade.
When Duke William IX returned from his unsuccessful crusade, he took up with Dangerose, the wife of a vassal, and set aside his rightful wife, Philippa.
This caused strain between father and son, until 1121 when William X married Aenor de Châtellerault, a daughter of his father's mistress Dangerose by her first husband, Aimery.
For a long time it was thought that he had another natural son called Joscelin and some biographies still erroneously state this fact, but Joscelin has been shown to be the brother of Adeliza of Louvain.
The attribution of Joscelin as a son of William X has been caused by a mistaken reading of the Pipe Rolls pertaining to the reign of Henry II, where 'brother of the queen' has been taken as Queen Eleanor, when the queen in question is actually Adeliza of Louvain.
He became involved in conflicts with Normandy (which he raided in 1136, in alliance with Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou who claimed it in his wife's name) and for France.
Even inside his borders, William faced an alliance of the Lusignans and the Parthenays against him, an issue resolved with total destruction of the enemies.
In international politics, William X initially supported antipope Anacletus II in the papal schism of 1130, opposite to Pope Innocent II, against the will of his own bishops.
On his deathbed, he expressed his wish to see king Louis VI of France as protector of his fifteen-year-old daughter Eleanor, and to find her a suitable husband.
He grew up and was educated there and graduated from the University of British Columbia Faculty of Law in Spring 1954.
In 1979, Fraser became Minister of the Environment in the short-lived government of Joe Clark, returning to the Opposition benches in 1980.
He returned to the Cabinet in the wake of Brian Mulroney's landslide victory in the 1984 federal election, and became Minister of Fisheries and Oceans.
In 1986, he became Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada, the first to be elected by fellow Members of Parliament, and served in that capacity until his retirement in 1993.
In 2002, he was the recipient of the Vimy Award, which recognizes a Canadian who has made a significant and outstanding contribution to the defence and security of our nation and the preservation of our democratic values.
To the east is Kung Chau, to the south is the South Channel, to the west is Wan Tsai and to the southwest is Long Harbour.
A tablet in the Tin Hau Temple on the island states Tap Mun, as part of Mirs Bay, was registered under the administration of the Dongguan County by the Tsui and Yip clans before 1573 and that they thus held the subsoil () rights as taxpayer under the Customary Land Law.
By the late 17th century, Tanka fisherman began to use the anchorage and built the temple, the topsoil () rights being granted to them in perpetuity by the subsoil title holders.
Over time, the first topsoil holder's interest in the land will have passed to an ancestral trust of his family so that by the time of British colonial rule, the effective title holders in the topsoil will have been a trust of the villagers as a whole.
The British refused to recognise all subsoil rights (their taxpaying status to the Imperial government being at odds with British sovereignty and its Crown land concept), leaving the only effective right in the land in the hands of the tenant topsoil rights holders, i.e.
By the 1960s, the Tankas were living in wretched conditions on the island and, in response to their need, a charity from New Zealand funded the erection of a New Village to house them.
The hilltop of Tap Mun is a popular camping site, renowned for the contrast in temperature and wind conditions between day and night.
Temperatures drop and winds soar during the nighttime but die down as the day approaches, when the dawn marks the beginning of a temperature rise.
It is also well known for providing panoramic views of the surrounding seas, and so provides a brief escape away from busy city life.
The very gentle slopes of the hilltops are a favourite amongst campers, although there is the danger of the bordering cliffs.
The temple complex at Tap Mun comprises three temples in two buildings: the first building is a Tin Hau Temple, built in 1737, to which an annex was later added, housing a Kwan Tai Temple.
To its south, Shui Yuet Kung (), built in 1788, is dedicated to Kwun Yam (Guan Yin) and the Earth God.
On festival days, such as Kwun Yam's birthday, on the 19th day of the second lunar month, many fishermen arrive at Tap Mun to pray for peace and calm.
The temple at Grass Island is one of the two Tin Hau Temples in Hong Kong that have such a marine parade: the other one is the Tin Hau Temple on Leung Shuen Wan]] (High Island).
There is one seafood restaurant and a number of small tea restaurants on the Grass Island, many of which are known for 'ice-less' ice-cold milk tea and boiled squid dishes.
Joseph Pierre Albert Sévigny, PC, OC, CD, VM, ED (September 12, 1917 – March 20, 2004) was a Canadian soldier, author, politician, and academic.
Born in Quebec City, Quebec, the son of Albert Sévigny, the Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada in 1916, he graduated from Université Laval and Columbia University.
He briefly attempted to pursue a career in acting, even being given a screen test by MGM in 1935, but instead returned to Canada to work in real estate, construction and in the import-export business.
Along with his Polish comrades of the 1st Polish Armoured Division, he denied access to Panzer divisions trying to break out of the Falaise pocket in August 1944.
He was elected to the House of Commons in the 1958 election, representing the electoral district of Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, and served as Associate Defence Minister in the Progressive Conservative government of John Diefenbaker.
And it was to prepare for the celebration of our One Hundredth Birthday that my government set in motion the plans necessary to co-ordinate activities at every level across this country to make possible the grand and appropriate Centennial Celebrations of 1967.
Marc Drouin was a man of ability who had an understanding of Canada as a whole, and I appointed him to the senate, where he served as Government Leader.
During a routine investigation into a passport request from one Gerda Munsinger in 1960 using Pierre Sevigny and George Hees as references, it was discovered that her maiden name was Heseler and that she had been denied an immigration visa to visit Canada in 1952.
His answer to the Prime Minister was that if all Members of Parliament were expelled for having an affair, they would be hard-pressed to form a government.
It described Gerda as being a prostitute and alleged spy and had remained under wraps for 17 months in Lester B. Pearson's office.
The inquiry chastised Sévigny for his behavior and criticized Diefenbaker for leniency towards his Ministers, but absolved Sévigny of any guilt relating to any breach of security.
In 1978, Sévigny and Camil Samson founded the short-lived political party Les Démocrates in Quebec which became the Parti démocrate créditiste before dissolving after Samson left to join the Quebec Liberals and the party, led now by Sévigny, was unable to field a slate of 10 candidates and dissolved prior to the 1981 Quebec election.
Jeannette Dubois (born August 5, 1938 or 1945) , known professionally as Ja'Net DuBois, Ja'net DuBois, and Ja'Net Du Bois (), is an American actress, singer–songwriter and dancer.
Born in the Brooklyn borough of New York City or in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (sources differ), the daughter of Lillian Dubois, DuBois was raised in Amityville, New York, on Long Island.
During the 1980s, DuBois operated the Ja'net DuBois Academy of Theater Arts and Sciences, a performing-arts school for teenagers in Long Island, New York.
DuBois has had at least two children: Rani Dubois, and Raj Kristo Gupta, who died of cancer in 1987 at age 36.
Ap Lei Chau or Aberdeen Island is an island of Hong Kong, located off Hong Kong Island next to Aberdeen Harbour and Aberdeen Channel.
Before the First Opium War, Ap Lei Chau was a small fishing village, with its harbour forming an excellent natural typhoon shelter.
This is the probable origin of the name for Hong Kong, although the town eventually took the name of its island.
In 1968, Hongkong Electric opened a power station on Ap Lei Chau to provide electricity for the whole of Hong Kong Island.
In 1980 and 1994, a bridge was constructed to connect the island to the Hong Kong Island, and this created momentum for rapid economic development.
It comprises four main residential estates — Lei Tung Estate, Ap Lei Chau Main Street, South Horizons and Ap Lei Chau Estate, each of which comprises several highrise towers.
The population of Ap Lei Chau is 86,782 , and its area is , giving it a population density of 66,755 people / km², and making it the second most densely populated island in the world.
Ap Lei Chau also lends its name to the Ap Lei Chau geologic formation, which covers most of Hong Kong Island.
Dating back to 1773, it is the oldest temple in the Aberdeen and Ap Lei Chau areas and is a declared monument.
Dedicated to Guan Yin, it was built at the end of the 19th century and is a Grade III historic building.
Clearly chosen for its feng shui, the superior dragons were seen as being protection from the 'threat of the tiger's jaw' from the police station.
The MTR South Island Line opened on December 28, 2016 links Admiralty of Hong Kong Island to Ap Lei Chau by Aberdeen Channel Bridge.
There are two stations on the island: Lei Tung (for Lei Tung Estate and Ap Lei Chau Main Street) and South Horizons (for South Horizons, Ap Lei Chau Estate and Ap Lei Chau Industrial Estate) serving the development of the same name.
It was founded in 1898 by Irish writer and suffragette, Frances Power Cobbe, as the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection.
In 2012, the BUAV joined with the New England Anti-Vivisection Society to establish a new international organisation to campaign against the testing of cosmetics on animals—Cruelty Free International.
Tentative discussion toward amalgamation with the National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS), including during the early 1960s under the contemporary NAVS Committee Secretary, Wilfred Risdon, could not be successfully concluded.
The BUAV was also closely involved in the lobbying which led to the adoption in the European Union of the 7th Amendment to the Cosmetics Directive, which effectively banned both the testing of cosmetics products and their ingredients on animals and also the sale of products in the EU which have been animal-tested anywhere in the world.
In recent years, the organisation has focused on a number of new areas, including the promotion of non-animal tested products; the European Union's REACH proposal to test tens of thousands of chemicals on millions of animals; and the use of non-human primates in experimentation.
It acts as the secretariat of the European Coalition to End Animal Experiments (ECEAE), established in 1990, and its chief executive, Michelle Thew, acts as chief executive of the coalition.
It helps consumers to identify and purchase products that have not been tested on animals through its Humane Cosmetics and Humane Household Products Standards (HCS and HHPS).
These are audited accreditation schemes for retail companies which confirm that neither their products nor their ingredients are tested on animals.
Undercover investigations included the exposure of the breeding and supply of monkeys from Nafovanny in Vietnam for experimentation in Europe and the US.
The High Court ruled in support of the Government in three of the four issues, and in favour of the BUAV on one issue, though this was later overturned on appeal with the Home Office awarded costs.
Tai A Chau () is an uninhabited island of Hong Kong, part of the Soko Islands group, located south of Lantau Island.
It is located 4.5 km to the south of Lantau Island and about 2 km north of the boundary of the Hong Kong territorial waters.
There were historically two villages on the island: Ha Tsuen and Sheung Tsuen on the west and south sides of the island.
He was one of the three sons of Eni who ruled the kingdom of East Anglia, succeeding some time after Ecgric was killed in battle by Penda of Mercia.
Anna was praised by Bede for his devotion to Christianity and was renowned for the saintliness of his family: his son Jurmin and all his daughters – Seaxburh, Æthelthryth, Æthelburh and possibly a fourth, Wihtburh – were canonised.
In 645 Cenwalh of Wessex was driven from his kingdom by Penda and, due to Anna's influence, he was converted to Christianity while living as an exile at the East Anglian court.
Upon his return from exile, Cenwalh re-established Christianity in his own kingdom and the people of Wessex then remained firmly Christian.
In 651, in the aftermath of an attack by Penda on Cnobheresburg, Anna was forced to flee into exile, perhaps to the western kingdom of the Magonsæte.
He returned to East Anglia in about 653, but soon afterwards the kingdom was attacked again by Penda and at the Battle of Bulcamp the East Anglian army, led by Anna, was defeated by the Mercians, and both Anna and his son Jurmin were killed.
The kingdom of East Anglia () was a small independent Anglo-Saxon kingdom that comprised what are now the English counties of Norfolk and Suffolk and perhaps the eastern part of the Cambridgeshire Fens.
In contrast to the kingdoms of Northumbria, Mercia and Wessex, little reliable evidence about the kingdom of the East Angles has survived, because of the destruction of its monasteries and the disappearance of the two East Anglian sees that occurred as the result of Viking raids and settlement.
Anna was the son of Eni, a member of the ruling Wuffingas family, and nephew of Rædwald, king of the East Angles from 600 to 625.
East Anglia was an early and long-lived Anglo-Saxon kingdom in which a duality of a northern and a southern part existed, corresponding with the modern English counties of Norfolk and Suffolk.
Historians now believe that Hereswith was Anna's sister-in-law and that around the time that she married into the East Anglian royal family, Anna had already been king for a decade.
Exning was an important place strategically, as it stood just on the East Anglian side of the Devil's Dyke, a major earthwork stretching between the Fen edge and the headwaters of the River Stour, built at an earlier date to defend the East Anglian region from attack.
At an unknown date (possibly in the early 640s), they routed the East Anglian army and Ecgric and his predecessor Sigeberht were both slain.
D. P. Kirby has suggested that as Sigeberht was alive when the Irish monk Fursey left for Gaul and found Erchinoald, (which happened after Erchinoald became Mayor of the Neustrian palace in 641), Sigeberht was probably killed around 640 or 641.
Some time after Penda's victory, Anna became king of the East Angles, though the date of his accession is quite uncertain.
Throughout his reign he was the victim of Mercian aggression under Penda, but he also seems to have challenged the rise of Penda's power.
The British medievalist David Dumville has written that due to their rivalry for control over the Middle Anglian people, Mercia and East Anglia probably became hereditary enemies and Penda repeatedly attacked the East Angles from the mid-630s to 654.
Anna arranged an important diplomatic marriage between his daughter Seaxburh and Eorcenberht of Kent, cementing an alliance between the two kingdoms.
During the 640s Anna's daughter Æthelburg and his stepdaughter Sæthryth entered Faremoutiers Abbey in Gaul to live religious lives under abbess Fara.
D. P. Kirby uses the presence of East Anglian princesses living under the veil in Gaul as evidence of the Frankish orientation of Anna's kingdom at this time, continued since the reign of his predecessor Rædwald.
The Wuffingas dynasty may have been connected with monastic foundations in the area around Faramoutiers through Anna's predecessor Sigeberht, who had spent several years as an exile in Gaul and had become a devout and learned Christian due to his experiences of monastic life.
The northern part, Bernicia, accepted Oswald's brother Oswiu as their new king, but the southern Deirans refused to accept him and were ruled instead by a king of the original Deiran house, Oswine.
During the following year, while a refugee at Anna's court, he was converted to Christianity, returning in 648 to rule Wessex as a Christian king.
Anna's hold on the western limits of his kingdom, which bordered on the Fen lands that surrounded the Isle of Ely, was strengthened by the marriage in 651 (or slightly later) of his daughter Æthelthryth to Tondberht, a prince of the South Gyrwe, a people living in the fens who may have been settled in the area around Ely.
In time, weary of attacks on the kingdom, Fursey left East Anglia for good, leaving the monastery to his brother Foillan.
This gave Foillan and his monks enough time to escape with their books and valuables, but Penda defeated Anna and drove him into exile, possibly to the kingdom of Merewalh of the Magonsætan, in western Shropshire.
Soon after 653, when Penda made his son Peada the ruler of the Middle Angles (but still continued to rule his own country), the Mercian assault on East Anglia was repeated.
Blythburgh, a mile from Bulcamp and situated near the fordable headwaters of the Blyth estuary, was afterwards believed to be the location of the tombs of Anna and Jurmin.
According to Peter Warner, the Latin derivation of part of the nearby place-name 'Bulcamp' indicates its ancient origins, and mediaeval sources which claim continuous Christian worship at Blythburgh throughout the Anglo-Saxon period provide circumstantial evidence of its connections with East Anglian royalty and Christianity.
Saint Botolph began to build his monastery at Icanho, now conclusively identified as Iken, Suffolk, in the year that Anna was killed, possibly to commemorate the king.
Æthelhere (who was also slain at the Battle of the Winwæd) and Æthelwold were succeeded by the descendants of Anna's youngest brother, Æthelric.
By tradition, Anna is said to have had a fourth daughter, Wihtburh, an abbess at Dereham (or possibly West Dereham), where there was a royal double monastery.
She may have been a character specifically created by the religious community at Ely, where her remains were supposed to have been taken after being stolen from Dereham and subsequently used as visual proof of the incorruptibility of a saint's body, a substitute for her sister Æthelthryth, whose body had to remain unexamined in her tomb.
The resulting date for her death of 743 is far too late for her to have been a sister of Æthelthryth, who was born in 636.
It was conceived as a method for mounting aerial attacks from Japan against industrial targets along the west coast (e.g., San Francisco) and in the Midwest (e.g., Detroit, Chicago, and Wichita) and the northeast (e.g., New York City and Norfolk) of the United States.
Project Z called for three variations on the airframe: heavy bomber, transport (capable of carrying 300 troops), and a gunship armed with forty downward-firing machine guns in the fuselage for intense ground attacks at the rate of 640 rounds per second (i.e.
Set in New York City, they detail his daily life, sexual experiences, high school basketball career, poetry compositions, the counter-culture movement, and especially his addiction to heroin, which began when he was 13.
The book was made into a film of the same name in 1995 starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Jim Carroll and Mark Wahlberg as Mickey.
Pedigree Petfoods is a subsidiary of the American group Mars, Incorporated specializing in pet food, with factories in England at Melton Mowbray and Birstall, Leeds; and offices at McLean, Virginia.
In 1934, Mars Limited, a division of the large American confectionery company, that had been based in Slough since 1932, acquired Chappel Brothers in Manchester.
In 1951, annual sales reached £1m, and the company moved to Melton Mowbray, using a former sewing-thread mill previously used by Patons and Baldwins.
A new factory on Shrewsbury Avenue in Woodston, Peterborough opened in October 1974 which originally produced semi-moist products such as Bounce.
During the 1970s, around 2,500 workers were at Melton and 200 at Peterborough and produced around 400,000 tonnes of animal food a year and virtually doubled production.
Around 3 million cans were used per day at the Melton plant; cans were delivered every 30 minutes, to limit storage space, from the Metal Box company (which became Novar plc).
At this time, Whiskas was the company's biggest product by sales closely followed by Pedigree Chum, although more in volume was sold of Pedigree Chum.
Towards the late 1980s and in the 1990s, the company came under much more competition from what became Nestlé Purina PetCare.
In 1988, Kal Kan Foods changed the name of its dog food to Pedigree, the name Mars used to sell dog food outside the United States.
The English division of Mars Inc. has been called Masterfoods since January 2002, until it was split into four separate entities in 2007: Mars Petcare UK, Mars Complementary Petcare UK, Mars Chocolate UK and Mars Food UK.
The company makes the market leaders Pedigree (dog food) and Whiskas (cat food), as well as Kitekat (cat food) and Pal (dog food).
The foundation, created in 2008, provides grants to 501(c)(3) dog shelters and breed rescue organizations, and help dog lovers adopt, volunteer, and make donations.
Use of awarded grant money by qualified recipients is virtually unrestricted, but is most often used for shelter improvements or veterinary care.
Geographically, Ping Chau is an offshore island located in the northeast corner of Hong Kong in Mirs Bay, close to the border with Guangdong Province in mainland China.
The island is the most easterly point of the Hong Kong territory and is much closer to mainland China (4 km) than to the main landmass of Hong Kong.
The eastern inner shore of the crescent hugs Ping Chau Hoi (平洲海) with a few beaches, including Cheung Sha Wan (長沙灣) in the northeast.
In contrast, the western coast of the island is fairly rocky as a result of the greater wave action taking its toll on the inclined siltstone there.
Guns and opium were once smuggled from here, and during the Cultural Revolution many mainlanders swam in hopes of reaching Ping Chau and the freedom of Hong Kong.
The now virtually deserted island was once home to a thriving fishing and farm community of 3,000 people, with over 100 fishing junks.
Historical villages of Ping Chau included the five oldest: Chau Mei (洲尾), Chau Tau (洲頭), Nai Tau (奶頭), Sha Tau (沙頭) and Tai Tong (大塘), as well as five other smaller family villages, which were subsequently developed: Chan Uk (陳屋), Lam Uk (林屋), Lei Uk (李屋), Tsau Uk (鄒屋) and Tsoi Uk (蔡屋).
The village of Chau Mei was settled by fishermen who sold their catch at Tai Po Market and at Shayuchong (沙魚涌), a coastal village now part of the Longgang District of Shenzhen.
During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong (1941-1945), Ping Chau was used as a logistics base for the supply of military resources, including petrol, to the Chinese army.
At that time, the economy of the island deteriorated due to the depletion of fishery resources and the termination of trade with the mainland as a consequence of the Korean War (1950-1953).
Ping Chau is unique in the fact that it is the only sizeable island in Hong Kong made up of sedimentary rock.
Following the volcanic activity, a basin formed in the northeast, with deposition in a brackish lake—producing the siltstones and chert of Tung Ping Chau, which have been dated from the early Paleogene period.
Many early residents of Ping Chau were from Shantou (Swatow) and they kept the tradition of worshiping Tam Kung after they settled on the island.
Nowadays no longer spoken by many, you may still hear this dialect in the conversations between the villagers inside the restaurants.
The island has a temple dedicated to Tin Hau, built in 1765, and a temple dedicated to Tam Kung: the Tam Tai Sin Temple (譚大仙廟), built before 1877.
On one side of the island there are steep cliffs, below which is an amazing wave-cut platform, with jagged rocks, set at a 30-degree angle, like a staircase.
On the island's coastline at the pier side, there are over 60 different species of coral, and 35 species of algae.
There is a camping site as well as picnic and barbecue sites on the island, managed by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department.
With the exception of an area of old villages along its east coast, Ping Chau is part of the Plover Cove (Extension) Country Park, designated in 1979.
The landing point is the Tung Ping Chau Public Pier (東平洲公眾碼頭), the only public pier on Ping Chau, located near the centre of the island at Wong Ye Kok (王爺角).
In product development and process optimization, a requirement is a singular documented physical or functional need that a particular design, product or process aims to satisfy.
It is commonly used in a formal sense in engineering design, including for example in systems engineering, software engineering, or enterprise engineering.
It is a broad concept that could speak to any necessary (or sometimes desired) function, attribute, capability, characteristic, or quality of a system for it to have value and utility to a customer, organization, internal user, or other stakeholder.
When iterative methods of software development or agile methods are used, the system requirements are incrementally developed in parallel with design and implementation.
Product and process requirements are closely linked; a product requirement could be said to specify the automation required to support a process requirement while a process requirement could be said to specify the activities required to support a product requirement.
For example, a maximum development cost requirement (a process requirement) may be imposed to help achieve a maximum sales price requirement (a product requirement); a requirement that the product be maintainable (a product requirement) often is addressed by imposing requirements to follow particular development styles (e.g., object-oriented programming), style-guides, or a review/inspection process (process requirements).
Requirements are typically classified into types produced at different stages in a development progression, with the taxonomy depending on the overall model being used.
For example, the following scheme was devised by the International Institute of Business Analysis in their Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (see also FURPS and Types of requirements).
1- Outer sources such as Federal Requirements, Municipality, IRS, Employees organization, Engineering organization, Environment entities or requirements that enforced by contracts terms and conditions.
2- Organization source: such as your organization laws that should be followed or requirements that comes from the project type, location and project specifications.
The characteristics of good requirements are variously stated by different writers, with each writer generally emphasizing the characteristics most appropriate to their general discussion or the specific technology domain being addressed.
To the above some add Externally Observable, that is, the requirement specifies a characteristic of the product that is externally observable or experienced by the user.
Such advocates argue that requirements that specify internal architecture, design, implementation, or testing decisions are probably constraints, and should be clearly articulated in the Constraints section of the Requirements document.
For example, a requirement to present geocoded information to the user may be supported by a requirement for an interface with an external third party business partner.
To continue the example, a requirement selecting a web service interface is different from a constraint limiting design alternatives to methods compatible with a Single Sign-On architecture.
For example, a non-functional requirement to be free from backdoors may be satisfied by replacing it with a process requirement to use pair programming.
Ambiguities, incompleteness, and inconsistencies that can be resolved in the requirements phase typically cost orders of magnitude less to correct than when these same issues are found in later stages of product development.
This is partly due to the complexity of computer software and the fact that users don't know what they want before they see it.
Some evidence furthermore indicates that specifying requirements can decrease creativity and design performance Requirements hinder creativity and design because designers become overly preoccupied with provided information.
More generally, some research suggests that software requirements are an illusion created by misrepresenting design decisions as requirements in situations where no real requirements are evident.
Meanwhile, most agile software development methodologies question the need for rigorously describing software requirements upfront, which they consider a moving target.
Instead, extreme programming for example describes requirements informally using user stories (short summaries fitting on an index card explaining one aspect of what the system should do), and considers it the developer's duty to directly ask the customer for clarification.
In Requirements management the alteration of requirements is allowed but if not adequately tracked or preceding steps (business goals then user requirements) are not throttled by additional oversight or handled as a cost and potential program failure, then requirements changes are easy and likely to happen.
A process being run by humans is subject to human flaws in governance, where convenience or desires or politics may lead to exceptions or outright subversion of the process and deviations from the textbook way the process is supposed to proceed.
The chorus progression and guitar solos were written by guitarist David Gilmour, while the lyrics and verse progression were written by bassist Roger Waters.
The verses are composed in the key of B minor, while the chorus is in that key's relative major, D major.
The lyrics were inspired by Waters's experience of being injected with tranquillisers for stomach cramps before a Pink Floyd show in Philadelphia on the 1977 In the Flesh Tour.
For the chorus, Gilmour and session player Lee Ritenour used a pair of acoustic guitars strung similarly to Nashville tuning, but with the low E string replaced with a high E string, two octaves higher than standard tuning.
To write the two guitar solos, Gilmour pieced together elements from several other solos he had been working on, marking his preferred segments for the final take.
According to Gilmour, the final solo was one of the few opportunities during those concerts that he was free to improvise completely.
The video was two minutes shorter than the album version and the video clip had different camera angles from the home video version.
Pink Floyd performed the song at Knebworth Park on June 30, 1990, published on Knebworth: The Album (cd) and on Live At Knebworth 1990 (DVD).
Pink Floyd, complete with Waters, reunited briefly to perform at the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park, London in July 2005.
Waters sang lead, Van Morrison sang Gilmour's vocal parts backed by Rick Danko and Levon Helm of The Band, with guitar solo by Rick Di Fonzo and Snowy White, and backup by the Rundfunk Orchestra & Choir.
During 1999–2000, Doyle Bramhall II and Snowy White stood in for Gilmour's vocals and guitar solos; a role carried out by Chester Kamen and White in 2002.
In 2006–2007 Gilmour's vocals were performed by Jon Carin and Andy Fairweather-Low with Dave Kilminster and White performing the guitar solos.
During Waters' The Wall Live tour, Robbie Wyckoff sang Gilmour's vocals, and Dave Kilminster performed the guitar solos, both of them atop the wall, as Gilmour had been in the original tour.
During the performance of 12 May 2011 at the London O2 Arena, David Gilmour appeared as a guest during this song, and both sang the choruses and played guitar from the top of the wall, echoing the original Earls Court performances.
The song contains one of the show's most memorable moments, when, at a specific point of the final guitar solo, Waters steps toward the wall and pounds it with his fists, triggering both an explosion of colours on the previously dark-grey screen projections and a collapsing wall.
On 29 May 2006, at the Royal Albert Hall, David Bowie, in a guest appearance, sang Waters' part of the song.
In 2006, Gilmour performed the song in a concert, with the Polish Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra providing the orchestral parts that had usually been done with backing tapes or multiple synthesizers.
In August 2006, it was voted the greatest guitar solo of all time in a poll by listeners of digital radio station Planet Rock.
The two guitar solos were ranked as the greatest guitar solos of all time by both Planet Rock listeners and WatchMojo.com.
An umbrella organization is an association of (often related, industry-specific) institutions, who work together formally to coordinate activities or pool resources.
In business, political, or other environments, one group, the umbrella organization, provides resources and often an identity to the smaller organizations.
Schörner is commonly represented in historical literature as a simple disciplinarian and a slavish devotee of Hitler's defensive orders, after Germany lost the initiative in the second half of World War II 1942/43.
He was harsh against superiors as well as subordinates and carried out operations on his own authority against Hitler's orders when he considered it necessary, such as the evacuation of the Sõrve Peninsula.
Following the war he was convicted of war crimes by courts in the Soviet Union and West Germany and was imprisoned in the USSR, East Germany and West Germany.
A Bavarian Army veteran of World War I, he was awarded the Pour le Mérite military order as a lieutenant when he took part in the Battle of Caporetto, which shattered the Italian lines in autumn 1917.
During the 1941 Balkans campaign, he commanded the German 6th Mountain Division and earned the Knight's Cross for his role in breaching the Metaxas Line.
After stating that the Crimean port of Sevastopol could be held for a long time even if Crimea fell, he changed his mind and against Hitler's wishes, evacuated the Black Sea port.
This retreat occurred too late and the German–Romanian 17th Army that was holding Crimea suffered severe losses, with many men killed or captured while waiting on the piers to be evacuated.
In July he became commander of Army Group North, which was later renamed Army Group Courland, where he stayed until January 1945 when he was made commander of Army Group Centre, defending Czechoslovakia and the upper reaches of the River Oder.
He became a favorite of high-level Nazi leaders such as Joseph Goebbels, whose diary entries from March and April 1945 have many words of praise for Schörner and his methods.
He nominally served in this post until the surrender of the Third Reich on 8 May 1945 but continued to command his army group, since no staff was available to him.
The colonel reported that Schörner had ordered his operational command to observe the surrender but he could not guarantee that he would be obeyed everywhere.
Elements of Army Group Centre continued to resist the overwhelming force of the Red Army liberating Czechoslovakia during the final Prague Offensive.
A decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet in April 1952 reduced this sentence to 12 and a half years.
A decree of December 1954 allowed him to be handed over to authorities of the German Democratic Republic, which allowed him to leave for West Germany in 1958.
There he was arrested and charged with executions of German Army soldiers accused of desertion, found guilty and sentenced to four and a half years' jail, which he served.
Because his Pour le Mérite had not been rescinded he was able to collect a pension of DM 25 per month.
In the late 1960s he gave a lengthy interview to Italian historian Mario Silvestri on his role and actions during the Austro-German victory at the Battle of Caporetto in World War I rather than on his World War II service.
German veterans particularly criticized Schörner for a 1945 order that all soldiers found behind the front lines, who did not possess written orders to be there, were to be court-martialled on the spot and hanged if found guilty of desertion.
Gottlob Bidermann, a German infantry officer who served in Schörner's command in 1944–45, reported in his memoirs that the General was despised by officers and men alike.
He said that Schörner was said never to have uttered a word of praise and would demote or punitively transfer soldiers on the spot for the most minor infractions, even as the war was ending.
Bidermann was especially bitter that while Schörner's men were marched off to die in Soviet POW camps at the cessation of hostilities, Schörner made certain that he avoided their fate.
When captured by the Americans in their sector, Schörner is said to have been dressed as a Bavarian non-combatant, behavior for which he had only recently had his own soldiers executed like earlier in 1944 on Sworbe on the eastern front.
Schörner was said to be devoted to Hitler, a view that is seen as confirmed by Hitler's appointment of Schörner as his replacement as Commander-in-Chief of the German Army on his suicide in the Last will and testament of Adolf Hitler.
Schörner did not hesitate to second Hitler's daydreams in the last weeks of the war, agreeing that the Red Army's main objective would be Prague instead of Berlin (in itself a colossal strategic blunder) and so leading him to weaken the critically thin defense lines in front of Berlin.
Empty Glass is the second solo studio album by English rock musician Pete Townshend, and his first composed of original material, released on 21 April 1980 by Atco Records.
The album deals with issues that Townshend was struggling with at the time, including alcoholism, drug abuse, marital problems and deceased friends, particularly Keith Moon, the Who's former drummer, who died in 1978.
This concept was derived from the work of the Persian poet Hafez, which Townshend became interested in from his involvement with Meher Baba, an Indian spiritual master who claimed he was an Avatar — God in human form.
The album was written and recorded between 1978 and 1980, when activity with the Who had started to pick up again, and Townshend found himself having to write for both his solo project and his band.
I think he’s a better guitar player than me and a better singer but I think what really worried me about the prospect of him producing my solo album was that I’m influenced by him enough as it is.
The League Against Cruel Sports is an animal welfare charity which campaigns to stop blood sports such as fox, hare and deer hunting, game bird shooting and animal fighting.
The charity is recognised as being instrumental in bringing about the Hunting Act 2004, which banned hunting with hounds in England and Wales and the Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act 2002, which did the same in Scotland.
Foxes, hare and deer continue to be hunted by packs of hounds in the United Kingdom, despite the passing of the Hunting Act 2004.
268 incidents of suspected illegal fox hunting were reported to the League's Animal Crimewatch service during the 2018 – 2019 hunting season.
This included foxes being chased to exhaustion across the countryside before, on some occasions, being torn apart in the jaws of the hunt's hounds.
Badger setts have also been blocked up near hunt meets to stop foxes taking refuge during the chase and horses and hounds trespassed in pursuit of wild animals.
Hunting packs claim to be practicing 'trail hunting', which is said to involve hunting hounds chasing an animal-based scent, but the League argues this is just a cover for illegal hunting.
The League is campaigning to maintain and strengthen the Hunting Act, by adding a provision for custodial sentences, a ban on use of dogs underground and a provision directed against recklessness.
532 people have been prosecuted for illegal hunting since the legislation was passed – including in private prosecutions brought by the League.
Over 35 million pheasants and partridges are released into the British countryside each year to be shot for sport – around half of these birds are imported as live chicks or ready-to-hatch eggs from factory-farms in France, Spain and Portugal.
Wild animals which compete with game birds – including fox, hare, corvids, stoats and weasels – are eradicated on shooting estates across the UK by trap, snare and gun.
There is a strong link between bird of prey persecution and land managed for game bird shooting, with hen harrier, buzzards, red kite, peregrine falcon and goshawks illegally disturbed or killed by gamekeepers.
Grouse moors are also managed in a way which causes damage to peatland habitat – including by gamekeepers burning heather to increase red grouse populations.
Transport industry is also being pressed to not ship game birds or ready-to-hatch eggs from Continental Europe to the United Kingdom.
However it is also interesting to know that the shooting industry is worth £2bn to the British economy as well as doing five times more for the conservation of habitat than any wildlife charity.
Despite being made illegal in Britain in 1835, dog and other animal fighting has been taking place underground in the UK.
A survey by the Royal Veterinary College in 2018 showed that 15 per cent of veterinary professionals suspected they had treated at least one dog that was engaged in illegal dog fighting.
Dogs used in fighting suffer injuries including puncture wounds, typically to the head, neck, chest and forelimbs; marks around the neck from weighted collars used in fight training; crudely treated wounds; and often death.
The League operates an Animal Crimewatch service where people – including veterinary professionals – can anonymously report their suspicions of dog and other animal fighting.
The League recently provided intelligence for a two-year long investigation by the BBC into a global network which bred, transported and organised dog fights around the world – including in the UK.
Concentrated around Exmoor and the Quantock Hills in South West England, the 3,000 acres of sanctuary land include Baronsdown, near Dulverton and Alfoxton in Holford, where stags have escaped when chased by hunts.
Wildlfie sanctuaries managed by the charity are home to a diverse range of species, a number of which are threatened – such as red deer, badgers, foxes, buzzards, peregrine falcon, pied flycatcher and wood warbler.
Visitors to the League's sanctuaries are encouraged to engage in wildlife conservation and learn about the animals which make the land their homes.
The League supported the Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act, passed in 2002 by the Scottish Parliament, and the Hunting Act 2004.
Both laws make it illegal to chase a mammal with more than two dogs, but allow the use of two dogs (England) or a pack of dogs (Scotland) to flush an animal out of its lair to be shot.
Both laws allow the use of one terrier at a time below ground to flush a fox to be shot, if the owner of the terrier has written permission from the land owner or occupier to reduce fox populations in order to prevent or reducing serious damage to game birds or wild birds being kept on the land.
The league is currently campaigning against commercial breeding of non-native game birds for shooting, and against hunts that it believes are continuing to hunt wild mammals contrary to the 2004 ban.
Between 2006 and 2008, it successfully undertook private prosecutions against four hunt officials under the Hunting Act, because the police would not take action, and argued that this showed that the Hunting Act was clear in its meaning.
The first prosecution led to a conviction, but this was overturned on appeal, and the second conviction was upheld in the Crown Court.
Labour member and ex hunt saboteur Chris Williamson was a member of the board of trustees League Against Cruel Sports (2013) Board of Trustees, whilst several other board members are Labour Party members.
José Maria de Eça de Queirós (; 25 November 1845 – 16 August 1900) is generally considered to have been the greatest Portuguese writer in the realist style.
An illegitimate child, he was officially recorded as the son of José Maria de Almeida Teixeira de Queirós and Carolina Augusta Pereira d'Eça.
At age 16, he went to Coimbra to study law at the University of Coimbra; there he met the poet Antero de Quental.
Eça then worked in the Portuguese consular service and after two years' service at Havana was stationed, from late 1874 until April 1879, at 53 Grey Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, where there is a memorial plaque in his honour.
His diplomatic duties involved the dispatch of detailed reports to the Portuguese foreign office concerning the unrest in the Northumberland and Durham coalfields – in which, as he points out, the miners earned twice as much as those in South Wales, along with free housing and a weekly supply of coal.
There is a plaque to Eça in that city and another was unveiled in Grey Street, Newcastle, in 2001 by the Portuguese ambassador.
Eça, a cosmopolite widely read in English literature, was not enamoured of English society, but he was fascinated by its oddity.
Since 2002 English versions of eight of his novels and two volumes of novellas and short stories, translated by Margaret Jull Costa, have been published in the UK by Dedalus Books.
The movie was more centered on Eça's and Ramalho Ortigão's writing and publishing of the original serial and the controversy it created and less around the book's plot itself.
The film cost a million and a half euros, having €600.000 from the Instituto do Cinema e Audiovisual (ICA), €170.000 from Câmara Municipal de Lisboa, €120.000 from Agência Nacional do Cinema (Ancine, the Brazilian akin from ICA), and a good part from Montepio Geral, as well as the purchase by RTP of the rights for the mini-series.
The filming happened between October 14 and December 22 in 2013, and was shot in Ponte de Lima, Celorico de Basto, Guimarães and Lisbon.
Galleon Theatre Company, the resident producing company at the Greenwich Playhouse, London, has staged theatre adaptations by Alice de Sousa of Eça de Queirós' novels, directed by Bruce Jamieson.
Gerda Munsinger (born Gerda Hesler or Heseler or Hessler, also known as Olga Schmidt and Gerda Merkt; September 10, 1929 – November 24, 1998) was an East German prostitute and alleged Soviet spy (although these allegations were ultimately unproven).
She returned to Germany in 1961, became the centre of press attention in 1966 when the scandal was publicly revealed, and was the subject of a feature film.
She was drafted as a labour worker in 1944, around the same time that her younger brother mysteriously disappeared; she also lost contact with her mother and sister.
She crossed the border between East and West Germany on several occasions, and as a result was reportedly arrested for espionage by the American border police in 1949.
Shortly thereafter, she began learning English and worked as a secretary in a hotel, where she provided secretarial services to American president Dwight Eisenhower and his wife.
She was married for a short period to a demobilized American soldier and baseball player named Michael Munsinger, but divorced him in 1954 after she was unable to return to the US with him.
She worked as a maid for a doctor in a Montreal suburb upon her arrival, in accordance with the terms of the contract she signed prior to departure.
Munsinger became involved in relationships with a number of high-ranking Canadian government officials, most notably cabinet ministers George Hees and Pierre Sévigny.
Munsinger was arrested for trying to cash a bad cheque in 1961 but the charges were dropped; she left shortly thereafter to return to Germany.
Under pressure from Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, who had been informed of the situation by the RCMP, Sévigny ended his affair with Munsinger.
The affair became public in March 1966 when Minister of Justice Lucien Cardin mentioned Munsinger's name during a debate in Parliament, in response to comments from the Conservatives about security problems in the Liberal government of Lester B. Pearson.
The Liberals had been made aware of the affair two years earlier during a review of security cases involving senior government officials; Pearson had opted to not publicize it, and had instructed his cabinet ministers not to discuss it.
After the story broke, the police were sent by the German government to guard Munsinger's apartment and prevent unauthorized access, as a crowd of reporters camped outside for several days.
One German reporter posed as a waiter and paid the owner of the restaurant in Munsinger's building to allow him access to her room.
A judicial inquiry regarding the politicians' dalliances with Munsinger found that there had been no security leak resulting from the affair.
Larry Zolf, a journalist who had been caned on-camera by Sévigny in 1966 while attempting to question him about the affair, was tasked with locating her and bringing her to the show.
She also ridiculed the suggestion that she was a spy and suggested that Pierre Trudeau would have been better able to manage the scandal than Pearson.
She spent the rest of her life in relative obscurity under the name Gerda Merkt, and died on November 24, 1998, in Munich.
Prior to being purchased by CVRD (now Vale) in 2006, Inco was the world's second largest producer of nickel, and the third largest mining company outside South Africa and Russia of platinum group metals.
In 1902 the International Nickel Company, Ltd. was created in New York, NY as a joint venture between Canadian Copper, Orford Copper, and American Nickel Works.
In 1916, the International Nickel Company of Canada, Ltd. was incorporated as the operating company in Copper Cliff in Sudbury, and in 1918 the company built a new refinery in Port Colborne.
On October 11, 2005, Inco announced a friendly takeover bid to buy out the operations of longtime rival Falconbridge for $12 billion.
Xstrata (which already owned ~20% of Falconbridge shares) subsequently submitted a hostile takeover bid for Falconbridge, resulting in a bidding war between Inco and Xstrata.
The Xstrata bid was successful, but not before Falconbridge employed a poison pill to delay the acquisition, raising its share price from $28 to $62.50 in the meantime.
Teck Cominco submitted a hostile takeover bid to purchase Inco on May 8, 2006 for $16 billion if it agreed to abandon its takeover of Falconbridge.
On June 26 of the same year, Phelps Dodge submitted a friendly takeover bid to purchase a combined Inco and Falconbridge for around $40 billion; that offer was also withdrawn because of the failure of the Inco-Falconbridge merger.
That offer received approval from the Canadian government's investment review agency on October 19, and was accepted by Inco shareholders on October 23.
Part of the takeover deal was that CVRD would operate Inco as a separate nickel mining division; all of CVRD's nickel operations, including mines at Onca Puma and Vermelho in Brazil, were transferred to Inco's management.
Vale is exploring as of 2015 an IPO of its base metals unit for $30–35 billion, in order to lighten its debt load.
The unions include Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores no Setor Minera, SINTICIM, Union syndicale des ouvriers et employés de Nouvelle-Calédonie, Union des Syndicats des Travailleurs Kanak et Exploités, Fagforbundet for Industri og Energi, Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union, and the United Steelworkers.
The Chofetz Chaim was born in Dzyatlava, Grodno Governorate, Russian Empire (today Belarus), on January 26, 1838, and died in Radun (), Wilno Province in Poland (now Belarus) on September 15, 1933.
His home town, Dzyatlava, was once named Zdzięcioł when it was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth until the time of the partitions of Poland.
In addition to spreading Torah through his yeshiva, Kagan, who became known as the Chofetz Chaim, was very active in Jewish causes.
He became one of the most influential rabbis within Orthodox Judaism during the late 19th and early 20th century, taking a central leadership role in the World Agudath Israel movement in Eastern Europe.
Although the anti-religious attitudes which pervaded Zionism greatly distressed him, Kagan initially refused to become personally involved in the matter and refrained from publicly denouncing the movement.
When his views became known, he cautioned his students about joining the Zionists and declared its political aims as being contrary to the Torah.
He nevertheless cherished the Holy Land and in 1925 it was announced that he would be leaving Warsaw with his daughter and son-in-law to permanently settle in Petach Tikvah, Palestine.
One American yeshiva named in his honor is the Yeshivas Rabbeinu Yisrael Meir HaKohen centered in Queens, New York founded by his great nephew, Rabbi Dovid Leibowitz, with several branches in the United States, Canada, and Israel.
Orthodox Jews across the world viewed him as one of the 36 righteous people, and Polish farmers were said to have lured him into their fields believing his feet would bring blessing to their crops.
cDNA is produced from fully transcribed mRNA found in the nucleus and therefore contains only the expressed genes of an organism.
In eukaryotic cells the mature mRNA is already spliced, hence the cDNA produced lacks introns and can be readily expressed in a bacterial cell.
While information in cDNA libraries is a powerful and useful tool since gene products are easily identified, the libraries lack information about enhancers, introns, and other regulatory elements found in a genomic DNA library.
In eukaryotes, a poly-(A) tail (consisting of a long sequence of adenine nucleotides) distinguishes mRNA from tRNA and rRNA and can therefore be used as a primer site for reverse transcription.
Column purification is done by using oligomeric dT nucleotide coated resins where only the mRNA having the poly-A tail will bind.
cDNA libraries are commonly used when reproducing eukaryotic genomes, as the amount of information is reduced to remove the large numbers of non-coding regions from the library.
Prokaryotes do not have introns in their DNA and therefore do not possess any enzymes that can cut it out during transcription process.
When studying eukaryotic DNA, expression libraries are constructed using complementary DNA (cDNA) to help ensure the insert is truly a gene.
Linkers are short, double stranded pieces of DNA (oligodeoxyribonucleotide) about 8 to 12 nucleotide pairs long that include a restriction endonuclease cleavage site e.g.
Both the cDNA and the linker have blunt ends which can be ligated together using a high concentration of T4 DNA ligase.
Then sticky ends are produced in the cDNA molecule by cleaving the cDNA ends (which now have linkers with an incorporated site) with the appropriate endonuclease.
The Cannon River a tributary of the Mississippi River flows from Lake Tetonka near Waterville to Red Wing in the U.S. state of Minnesota, where it joins the Mississippi River.
From Faribault, Minnesota to its mouth, the Cannon, a designated Minnesota Wild and Scenic River falls 280 feet (85 m), an average of 4.8 feet/mile (1 m/km).
Bounded by rolling hills, bluffs, farmland, and woods in its upper reaches, dammed by H.M. Byllesby in 1910 for hydroelectric power to create Lake Byllesby Reservoir, the Cannon enters a broad gorge below Cannon Falls, where it is flanked by bluffs up to 300 feet (100 m) high.
The river valley was created by cutting through these rocks produced rock outcrops of St. Peter Sandstone, the Prairie du Chien Group of dolomites and sandstone, and near the river's mouth, Jordan Sandstone and the St. Lawrence and Franconia formations.
Past the Falls, the river is in the Driftless Area of Minnesota, a region that remained ice free during the last ice age, allowing the river to carve a very impressive canyon.
The upper region of the river is involved with terminal moraines and glacial drift and till, and is not in the Driftless Area.
In the reservoirs and slow stretches above Faribault the most common game fish are northern pike, black crappies, bluegills, and bullheads.
Downstream from Faribault the most common species are smallmouth bass, northern pike, walleye, and, in the stretch below Cannon Falls, Minnesota, channel catfish.
The Cannon served as a primary route from the Mississippi River valley to the plains of western Minnesota where bison were common.
The Dakota were forced to surrender the area in the 1851 Treaty of Traverse des Sioux and most Dakota (except for a small group south of Faribault) left the area after the Dakota War of 1862.
In a scant few decades during the mid-to-late 19th Century, more innovations in the flour milling industry were developed here than in several centuries before.
The first mills they built at Faribault, Morristown, Dundas, Northfield, Cannon Falls and Red Wing became the first bona fide industry that helped grow the Cannon Valley's first economy.
These people, John North, John T. Archibald, Alexander Faribault, Edmund LaCroix, and Captain Jesse Ames, to name a few, had much to do with advancing the newer technology, thereby establishing the first towns along the Cannon River.
The Cannon Valley Trail runs along the south bank of the river, between Cannon Falls and Red Wing and provides scenic views of surrounding farmland and the river valley.
The 40-mile Sakatah-Singing Hills Trail begins at Faribault at the White Sands Trailhead facility, winding its way west along the Cannon River, past several lakes connected by it, ending at Mankato.
After the old COWHL dropped down to three teams in 1997–98, the new league expanded to Brampton, Ottawa and the Montreal area (Montreal, Bonaventure and Laval) in 1998–99.
The league was officially renamed the National Women's Hockey League on Feb. 16, 1999 with Al Dawson as the league's first president.
In 2007–08, players from the old NWHL joined new teams in similar markets in the newly formed Canadian Women's Hockey League.
From the 1998–99 to the 2001–02 seasons, the NWHL consisted of two divisions: the Eastern Division with Quebec-based teams, and the Western Division with Ontario-based teams.
For the 2002–03 and 2003–04 seasons, the league had three divisions: the Eastern Division with Quebec-based teams, a renamed Central Division with Ontario-based teams, and a new Western Division with teams in Alberta (both seasons) and British Columbia (2002–03 only).
The high travel costs for the two Alberta teams caused them to leave the NWHL to form the Western Women's Hockey League, reducing the NWHL to the Eastern and Central Divisions for the 2004–05 and 2005–06 seasons.
The NWHL reverted to three divisions: Eastern Division with Quebec-based teams, the Central Division with Ontario-based teams, and a renewed Western Division with teams Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchwean and Minnesota.
The Eastern and Central Division teams scheduled a 35-game unbalanced but interlocking schedule, while the Western Division would only play within itself for the regular season - saving travel costs for all three divisions.
The merger broke down midseason, with the WWHL teams treating it as the 2006–07 WWHL season and the remaining NWHL teams handling their playoffs with all four teams from the Central Division and the top two teams from the Eastern Division qualifying for the postseason.
In the NWHL playoffs, teams played a best-of-three series to determine the Eastern and Central Division champions, who then met for the NWHL championship.
By the end of the 2006–07 NWHL season, the league had fallen into disarray, season records are incomplete, and the league folded shortly after the Central Division's Brampton Thunder defeated the Eastern Division's Montreal Axion to win the last ever NWHL Championship.
During its inaugural 1998–99 season, a playoff tournament was held over three consecutive days, resulting in the presentation of a Gold, Silver and Bronze medal.
Though the NWHL and the Western Women's Hockey League (WWHL) were considered merged for the 2006–07 season, the WWHL teams did not compete for the Clarkson Cup, instead playing for the WWHL Champions Cup.
After the 2007 disbanding of the NWHL, the Clarkson Cup was presented to the winner of a playoff between WWHL and Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) teams, then solely to the CWHL champion after the WWHL merged with that league.
In Hong Kong, declaring a monument requires consulting the Antiquities Advisory Board, the approval of the chief executive as well as the publication of the notice in government gazette.
As of February 2013, there were 101 declared monuments, of which 57 were owned by the Government and the remaining 44 by private bodies.
As of 25 October 2019, there were 123 declared monuments in Hong Kong, with 51 listed on Hong Kong Island, another 51 on New Territories, 12 on Kowloon, and 9 on the Outlying Islands.
Under Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance, some other buildings are classified as Grades I, II and III historic buildings, and are not listed below.
As of July 2007, 607 buildings had been graded (since 1980), 54 of these, including five Grade I buildings, had been demolished.
As of August 2007, of 151 buildings classified as Grade I, only 28 pre-war buildings have been declared monuments since 1980.
On 26 November 2008, the Antiquities Advisory Board announced that the declaration of monuments would be related to the grading of historic buildings.
The Antiquities Authority (the Secretary for Development) may declare a building facing a demolition risk a proposed monument, thus providing the building with immediate protection against demolition.
Five buildings were declared proposed monuments between 1982 and 2012: Ohel Leah Synagogue (later Grade I in 1990), Morrison Building (subsequently declared in 2004), Jessville (later Grade III), King Yin Lei (subsequently declared in 2008) and Ho Tung Gardens (later demolished in 2013).
MetaFilter, known as MeFi to its members, is a general-interest community weblog, founded in 1999 and based in the United States, featuring links to content that users have discovered on the web.
Although the number of registrations has topped 100,000, a design flaw in the counting process means that it counts users who abandoned the signup process mid-way; the actual number of posters is smaller, at around 38,700 as of October 2008.
Members regularly gather for meetups in cities around the world, and there are numerous websites with strong connections to MetaFilter members and subgroups, including MetaChat and MonkeyFilter, the latter getting its start during the period when MetaFilter memberships were closed.
At SXSW 2011, Haughey gave a talk in which he noted that MetaFilter had about 125,000 user accounts, of which 12,000 are active.
In November 2012, MetaFilter experienced a huge drop of traffic due to the Google Panda search update, specifically the Ask MetaFilter page lost 40% of its traffic.
As of June 2018 the site was losing US$8000 per month but has since rebounded with new sources of ad revenue and increased member contributions.
Posters are presumed responsible for selecting only the most interesting or novel websites to link, and users' reputations are largely determined by overall posting quality.
Half-baked posts, self-promotion, open-ended questions, and other fare common on other community sites and internet forums are strongly discouraged at MetaFilter.
Net and blog culture discussions also percolate through MetaFilter, reflecting its early connections with Blogger, but this is becoming less common as membership expands.
Nevertheless, it is accepted that some discussion of current events and politics in particular is inevitable, and a certain level is tolerated.
Important news items or political arguments can turn into very long discussions, such as 9/11 (2001), the London Bombings (2005), and Hurricane Katrina (2005)—which generated over 80 front page posts in about a week.
In May 2001, MetaFilter played a key role in uncovering the Kaycee Nicole hoax, in which a woman made up a fake online persona of a teenage daughter who was dying of cancer, fooling many bloggers and garnering sympathy and gifts.
An astroturfing campaign by Holden Karnofsky, the co-founder of the online charity GiveWell, was detected in January 2008 through a sockpuppet posting to Ask MetaFilter, leading to Karnofsky's resignation.
Moderators may step in and temporarily suspend an offending user's account, but this is rare; permanent bans are rarer still, and are generally reserved for spammers and other egregious abusers of the site.
MetaTalk also sees particularly excellent posts called out for praise, and moderators regularly feature superlative contributions on the main page's sidebar.
For the site's first few years, this practice of self-policing ensured a high level of quality and allowed Haughey to use a light touch in moderating the site; however, as the community has grown, Haughey has expanded the site's staff and taken a more active role.
In 2008, London user Ricardo Vacapinta assumed off-hours moderator duties, and in April 2011 Jeremy Preacher (restless_nomad) came on to keep an eye on things over the weekend.
A flagging feature allows members to call moderator attention to substandard, offensive, or outstanding posts, allowing users continued input towards shaping the site while quickly alerting site staff to potential trouble spots.
On May 19, 2014, Haughey announced that effective June 1, 2014, moderators Jessamyn West, LobsterMitten and goodnewsfortheinsane would be laid off from their positions due to a sudden and unexpected slump in traffic caused by updates to Google's Panda search algorithm, which reduced ad revenue generated by Ask MetaFilter by more than 40%.
AskMe quickly grew to a strong side community with slightly different etiquette requirements and many daily threads that cover a broad spectrum of topics.
Members can vote on projects, and often post interesting projects to the main site following the same guidelines as any other post.
This area of the site allows users to upload their own musical creations, which others can listen to directly on the website, along with playlist and favorites features.
In 2014, FanFare was created to give the community a place to discuss entertainment media such as TV shows and films.
Segal resigned from the Senate of Canada effective June 15, 2014, as a result of his appointment as Master (later Principal) of Massey College in Toronto.
Segal was inspired by a visit from Prime Minister John Diefenbaker in 1962 to his school, United Talmud Torah Academy in Montreal.
Segal went on to graduate from the University of Ottawa and was an aide to federal Progressive Conservative Leader of the Opposition Robert Stanfield in the early 1970s, while still a university student.
At the age of 21, he was an unsuccessful Progressive Conservative candidate in Ottawa Centre for the House of Commons of Canada in the 1972 general election.
As a member of the Big Blue Machine, Segal was a senior aide to Ontario Progressive Conservative Premier Bill Davis in the 1970s and 1980s, and he was named Deputy Minister at age 29.
Segal finished second to Joe Clark after the first ballot of the 1998 Progressive Conservative leadership election, but he chose to withdraw and support Clark (the eventual winner) in the second ballot runoff vote against third-place finisher David Orchard.
In December 2013, he announced his intention to resign from the Senate in June 2014, twelve years before he would reach the mandatory retirement age of 75, to accept an academic appointment as Master of Massey College in Toronto.
The group's mandate is to set out decisive recommendations on how to strengthen the Commonwealth and fulfill its potential in the 21st century.
In December 2011 the federal government appointed him special envoy to the Commonwealth with the task of convincing individual countries to sign on to the EPG's 106 recommendations.
He is a Red Tory in the tradition of Benjamin Disraeli, Sir John A. Macdonald, John George Diefenbaker and his mentors Robert Stanfield and Bill Davis.
Segal opposed on civil liberties grounds the imposition of the War Measures Act by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in the October Crisis of 1970.
His 1998 proposal to reduce Canada's Goods and Services Tax from 7% to 6% (and then 5%) was adopted by Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party in 2005.
Segal lives in Kingston, Ontario, and until 2014 was a faculty member at Queen's University's School of Policy Studies, and has also taught at the university's school of business.
Segal was appointed Master of Massey College in the University of Toronto (effective at the end of June 2014) and retired from the Senate in order to accept the position.
He retired from the Massey College position effective June 30, 2019, five years into his seven-year term, and was succeeded by Nathalie Des Rosiers.
David Clarke lived in Belmont, Ohio for several years until he sold his house and moved to Arlington, Virginia to be with his daughters.
Madel contested the London seat of Erith and Crayford in a 1965 by-election, and again in the general election the following year, but was beaten on each occasion by Labour's James Wellbeloved.
He was a Conservative Party Member of Parliament for South Bedfordshire and later South West Bedfordshire from 1970 until he stood down at the 2001 general election.
He almost suffered one of the biggest upsets of the 1997 general election, when his majority was cut from 21,273, to 132 votes.
Ismail I (, ; July 17, 1487 – May 23, 1524), also known as Shah Ismail I (), was the founder of the Safavid dynasty, ruling from 1501 to 23 May 1524 as Shah of Iran (Persia).
Before his accession in 1501, Iran, since its conquest by the Arabs eight-and-a-half centuries before, had not existed as a unified country under native Iranian rule, but had been controlled by a series of Arab caliphs, Turkic sultans, and Mongol khans.
Although many Iranian dynasties rose to power amidst this whole period, it was only under the Buyids that a vast part of Iran proper came under Iranian rule (945-1055).
The dynasty founded by Ismail I would rule for over two centuries, being one of the greatest Iranian empires and at its height being amongst the most powerful empires of its time, ruling all of present-day Iran, Azerbaijan Republic, Armenia, most of Georgia, the North Caucasus, Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan, as well as parts of modern-day Syria, Turkey, Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
The legacy of the Safavid Empire was also the revival of Iran as an economic stronghold between East and West, the establishment of an efficient state and bureaucracy, its architectural innovations and its patronage for fine arts.
One of his first actions, was the proclamation of the Twelver sect of Shia Islam to be the official religion of his newly-formed state, which had major consequences for the ensuing history of Iran.
Furthermore, this drastic act also gave him a political benefit of separating the growing Safavid state from its strong Sunni neighbors—the Ottoman Empire to the west and the Uzbek confederation to the east.
His father, Haydar, was the sheikh of the Safaviyya Sufi order and a direct descendant of its Kurdish founder, Safi-ad-din Ardabili (1252–1334).
Ismail was the last in this line of hereditary Grand Masters of the order, prior to his ascent to a ruling dynasty.
His mother Martha, better known as Halima Begum, was the daughter of Uzun Hasan by his Pontic Greek wife Theodora Megale Komnene, better known as Despina Khatun.
His ancestry is mixed, having ancestors from various ethnic groups such as Georgian, Greek, Kurdish and Turkoman; the majority of scholars agree that his empire was an Iranian one.
In 700/1301, Safi al-Din assumed the leadership of the Zahediyeh, a significant Sufi order in Gilan, from his spiritual master and father-in-law Zahed Gilani.
In 1488, the father of Ismail was killed in a battle at Tabasaran against the forces of the Shirvanshah Farrukh Yassar and his overlord, the Aq Qoyunlu, a Turkic tribal federation which controlled most of Iran.
In 1494 the Aq Qoyunlu captured Ardabil, killing Ali Mirza Safavi (the eldest son of Haydar), and forcing the 7-year old Ismail to go into hiding in Gilan, where under Sultan 'Ali Mirza Karkiya he received education under the guidance of scholars.
Ismail's rise to power was made possible by the Turkoman tribes of Anatolia and Azerbaijan, who formed the most important part of the Qizilbash movement.
In the summer of 1500, Ismail rallied about 7,000 Qizilbash troops at Erzincan, including members of the Ustajlu, Rumlu, Takkalu, Dhu'l-Qadar, Afshar, Qajar, and Varsaq.
They defeated the forces of the Shirvanshah Farrukh Yassar near Cabanı (present-day Shamakhi Rayon, Azerbaijan Republic) or at Gulistan (present-day Gülüstan, Goranboy, Nagorno-Karabakh), and subsequently went on to conquer Baku.
The Shirvanshah line nevertheless continued to rule Shirvan under Safavid suzerainty for some more years, until 1538, when, during the reign of Ismail's son, Tahmasp I (r. 1524-1576), from then on it came to be ruled by a Safavid governor.
The successful conquest had alarmed the ruler of the Aq Qoyunlu, Alvand, who subsequently proceeded north from Tabriz, and crossed the Aras River in order to challenge the Safavid forces, and a pitched battle was fought at Sarur in which Ismail's army came out victorious despite being outnumbered by four to one.
Shortly before his attack on Shirvan, Ismail had made the Georgian kings Constantine II and Alexander I of respectively the kingdoms of Kartli and Kakheti, attack the Ottoman possessions near Tabriz, on the promise that he would cancel the tribute that Constantine was forced to pay to the Ak Koyunlu once Tabriz was captured.
After eventually conquering Tabriz and Nakhchivan, Ismail broke the promise he had made to Constantine II, and made both the kingdoms of Kartli as well as Kakheti his vassals.
His army was composed of tribal units, the majority of which were Turkmen from Anatolia and Syria with the remainder Kurds and Čaḡatāy.
In the same year he gained possession of Erzincan and Erzurum, while a year later, in 1503, he conquered Eraq-e Ajam and Fars; one year later he conquered Mazandaran, Gorgan, and Yazd.
This was because Ismail had begun favoring the Iranians more than the Qizilbash, who, although they had played a crucial role in Ismail's campaigns, possessed too much power and were no longer considered trustworthy.
Ismail then began destroying Sunni sites in Baghdad, including tombs of Abbasid Caliphs and tombs of Imam Abū Ḥanīfah and Abdul Qadir Gilani.
By 1510, he had conquered the whole of Iran (including Shirvan), southern Dagestan (with its important city of Derbent), Mesopotamia, Armenia, Khorasan, and Eastern Anatolia, and had made the Georgian kingdoms of Kartli and Kakheti his vassals.
In the same year, Husayn Beg Shamlu lost his office as commander-in-chief in favor of a man of humble origins, Mohammad Beg Ustajlu.
The Uzbek ruler, Muhammad Shaybani, was caught and killed trying to escape the battle, and the shah had his skull made into a jewelled drinking goblet.
The active recruitment of support for the Safavid cause among the Turcoman tribes of Eastern Anatolia, among tribesmen who were Ottoman subjects, had inevitably placed the neighbouring Ottoman empire and the Safavid state on a collision course.
In 1511, there was a widespread pro-Safavid rebellion in southern Anatolia by the Takkalu Qizilbash tribe, known as the Şahkulu Rebellion, and an Ottoman army that was sent in order to put down the rebellion down was defeated.
A large-scale incursion into Eastern Anatolia by Safavid ghazis under Nūr-ʿAlī Ḵalīfa coincided with the accession of Sultan Selim I in 1512 to the Ottoman throne, and became the casus belli which led to Selim's decision to invade Safavid Iran two years later.
While the Safavid forces were at Chaldiran and planning on how to confront the Ottomans, Mohammad Khan Ustajlu, who served as the governor of Diyabakir, and Nur-Ali Khalifa, a commander who knew how the Ottomans fought, proposed that they should attack as quickly as possible.
This proposal was rejected by the powerful Qizilbash officer Durmish Khan Shamlu, who rudely said that Mohammad Khan Ustajlu was only interested in the province which he governed.
Ismail's army was more mobile and his soldiers were better prepared, but the Ottomans prevailed due in large part to their efficient modern army, and possession of artillery, black powder and muskets.
A mutiny among his troops, fearing a counterattack and entrapment by fresh Safavid forces called in from the interior, forced the triumphant Ottomans to withdraw prematurely.
Despite his defeat at the Battle of Chaldiran, Ismail quickly recovered most of his kingdom, from east of the Lake Van to the Persian Gulf.
However, the Ottomans managed to annex for the first time Eastern Anatolia and parts of Mesopotamia, as well as briefly northwestern Iran.
After the Battle of Chaldiran, Ismail lost his supernatural air and the aura of invincibility, gradually falling into heavy drinking of alcohol.
He retired to his palace, never again participated in a military campaign, and withdrew from active participation in the affairs of the state.
The consequences of the defeat at Chaldiran were also psychological for Ismail: His relationships with his Qizilbash followers were fundamentally altered.
The tribal rivalries between the Qizilbash, which temporarily ceased before the defeat at Chaldiran, resurfaced in intense form immediately after the death of Ismail, and led to ten years of civil war (930-40/1524-33) until Shah Tahmasp regained control of the affairs of the state.
During Ismail's reign, mainly in the late 1510's, the first steps for the Habsburg–Persian alliance were set as well, with Charles V and Ludwig II of Hungary being in contact with a view to combining against the common Ottoman Turkish enemy.
He is considered an important figure in the literary history of Azerbaijani language and has left approximately 1400 verses in this language, which he chose to use for political reasons.
After defeating Muhammad Shaybani's Uzbeks, Ismail asked Hatefi, a famous poet from Jam (Khorasan), to write a Shahnameh-like epic about his victories and his newly established dynasty.
Most of the poems are concerned with love—particularly of the mystical Sufi kind—though there are also poems propagating Shi'i doctrine and Safavi politics.
Along with the poet Imadaddin Nasimi, Khatā'ī is considered to be among the first proponents of using a simpler Azerbaijani language in verse that would appeal to a broader audience.
The major impact of his religious writings, in the long run, was the conversion of Persia from Sunni to Shia Islam.
The following anecdote demonstrates the status of vernacular Turkish and Persian in the Ottoman Empire and in the incipient Safavid state.
An important feature of the Safavid society was the alliance that emerged between the ulama (the religious class) and the merchant community.
They would thus retain the official ownership and secure their land from being confiscated by royal commissioners or local governors, as long as a percentage of the revenues from the land went to the ulama.
Increasingly, members of the religious class, particularly the mujtahids and the seyyeds, gained full ownership of these lands, and, according to contemporary historian Iskandar Munshi, Persia started to witness the emergence of a new and significant group of landowners.
His appearance compared to other olive-skinned Persians, his descent from the Safavid Shaykhs, and his religious ideals, contributed to people's expectation based on various legends circulating during this period of heightened religious awareness in Western Asia.
Even after the fall of the Safavids in 1736, their cultural and political influence endured through the era of Afsharid, Zand, Qajar, and Pahlavi dynasties into the modern Islamic Republic of Iran as well as the neighboring Azerbaijan Republic, where Shi'a Islam is still the dominant religion as it was during the Safavid era.
In electronics, slew rate is defined as the change of voltage or current, or any other electrical quantity, per unit of time.
Expressed in SI units, the unit of measurement is volts/second or amperes/second or the unit being discussed, (but is usually expressed in V/μs).
Electronic circuits may specify minimum or maximum limits on the slew rates for their inputs or outputs, with these limits only valid under some set of given conditions (e.g.
When given for the output of a circuit, such as an amplifier, the slew rate specification guarantees that the speed of the output signal transition will be at least the given minimum, or at most the given maximum.
When applied to the input of a circuit, it instead indicates that the external driving circuitry needs to meet those limits in order to guarantee the correct operation of the receiving device.
For example, when the input to a digital circuit is driven too slowly, the digital input value registered by the circuit may oscillate between 0 and 1 during the signal transition.
Slew rate helps us identify the maximum input frequency and amplitude applicable to the amplifier such that the output is not significantly distorted.
A solicitor by profession and formally an East Devon District Councillor, Nicholls was first elected to the House of Commons in 1983 at the age of 34 winning a comfortable majority over the nationally known Liberal Party candidate, John Alderson who had resigned as Chief Constable of Devon & Cornwall specifically to fight the seat.
Within a year of entering the House of Commons, Nicholls was made a Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Home Office Minister David Mellor, and subsequently to the Minister of Agriculture John Selwyn Gummer.
Still not yet 40, he was given a key role in piloting the second tranche of Conservative Trades Union reforms through Standing Committee.
His upward advance was checked, however, when he was arrested for drink driving in 1990, as a result of which he resigned from the government.
He was appointed to the Westminster Foundation for Democracy at its inception in 1992 and served on The North Atlantic Assembly and the 1922 Committee of Conservative MPs.
In 1994, he was made a Vice Chairman of the Conservative Party and in 1997 was appointed the Shadow Fisheries Minister by the then Leader of the Opposition, William Hague.
A leading Eurosceptic, Nicholls was credited with having single-handedly turned Conservative Party policy around in favour of leaving the EU Common Fisheries Policy.
Currently, Nicholls is a freelance political journalist and lectures on British and American politics in Europe and America as well as the UK.
Nowlan was a Progressive Conservative backbench Member of Parliament representing a Nova Scotia riding in the House of Commons of Canada continuously from 1965 to 1993.
In 1991, Nowlan was expelled from the Tory caucus after voting against the Mulroney government's introduction of the Goods and Services Tax.
He was appointed to the post of lecturer, and later a senior lecturer, at the City of Birmingham College of Commerce (later Birmingham Polytechnic, now Birmingham City University).
His first attempt to become a member of Parliament was in the 1970 election when he stood unsuccessfully for South West Hertfordshire.
He was then selected as a candidate and was elected as Member of Parliament for Lichfield and Tamworth in October 1974, in which position he became Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Minister for Local Government and Planning, and later the Minister of Agriculture.
He was re-elected for The Wrekin in 1987 and he was very shortly thereafter appointed Deputy Shadow Leader of the House to Jack Cunningham before becoming advisor to the Leader of the Opposition, Neil Kinnock and, later, a Foreign Affairs Spokesman under John Smith.
He was made a life peer under the title of Baron Grocott, of Telford, in the County of Shropshire, on 2 July 2001, quickly being promoted to a government whip in the House of Lords.
From 2002 to 2008 he was the Government Chief Whip in the House of Lords as well as Captain of the Gentlemen-at-Arms, the honorary post usually held by the Chief Whip.
In October 2012 it was announced that Lord Grocott has been elected as the next chancellor of the University of Leicester, the first time in the university's history that a former student has been appointed to the post.
Steven Alan Hassan (pronounced ) (born 1954) is an American mental health counselor who has written on the subject of mind control and how to help people who have been harmed by the experience.
Hassan became a member of the Unification Church in the 1970s, at the age of 19, while studying at Queens College.
Hassan also studied the work of Richard Bandler and John Grinder who developed neuro-linguistic programming, the works of Milton Erickson, Virginia Satir, and Gregory Bateson.
Hassan has studied hypnosis and is a member of the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis and the International Society of Hypnosis.
After the Boston Marathon bombing, Hassan was interviewed by some reporters to explain his view of the bombers' state of mind and how he believed mind control was involved.
In August 2018, Steve delivered a TEDx talk on technology and mind control at TEDxBeaconStreet Salon, resulting in a standing ovation from the live audience.
He has worked as a painter, draftsman, photographer, muralist, sculptor, installation and performance artist, using a wide variety of techniques and media.
The metaphor for his art is dominated by the image of the child, particularly the wounded child, scarred physically and emotionally from within.
His works often reference taboo and controversial issues from recent history, especially the Nazi rule and the horror of the Holocaust.
His father Joseph Helnwein worked for the Austrian Post and Telegraphy administration (Österreichische Post- und Telegraphenverwaltung), and his mother Margarethe was a housewife.
As a student he organized plays and art exhibitions at the Catholic Marian Society (Marianische Kongregation) of the Jesuit University Church in Vienna.
In the following years he started his first performances for small audiences where he cut his face and hands with razor blades and bandaged himself.
In 1985 Rudolf Hausner, recommended Helnwein as his successor as professor of the master-class for painting at the University of Visual Art in Vienna, but Helnwein left Vienna and moved to Germany.
Four years later in 1989 he established a studio in Tribeca New York and thenceforth spent his time between the United States and Germany.
Helnwein moved to Dublin, Ireland in 1997 and one year later, he bought Castle Gurteen de la Poer in County Waterford.
In 2002 he established a studio in downtown Los Angeles and he lives and works since then in Ireland and Los Angeles.
On 3 December 2005, his friend Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese were married in a private, non-denominational ceremony at Helnwein's castle.
The show was seen by 250,000 visitors and was the most successful exhibition of a contemporary artist in the history of the Albertina.
One sees, too, the common ground of his works with those of Arnulf Rainer and Hermann Nitsch, two other Viennese, who display their own bodies in the frame of reference of injury, pain, and death.
And one sees how this fascination with body language goes back to the expressive gesture in the work of Egon Schiele.
Helnwein's early work consists mainly of hyper-realistic watercolors, depicting wounded children, as well as photographs and performances – often with children – in public spaces.
The bandaged child became the most important figure next to the artist himself allied with him in his actions: the embodiment of the innocent, defenceless individual at the mercy of brute force.
The sexualistic concept of the child in (Freud-influenced) Viennese Actionism is countered by the moralist and utopian Helnwein with the child as a sexless salvation figure.
In today's world, the malevolent forces of war, poverty, and sexual exploitation and the numbing, predatory influence of modern media assault the virtue of children.
Helnwein's work concerning the child includes paintings, drawings, and photographs, and it ranges from subtle inscrutability to scenes of stark brutality.
Of course, brutal scenes – witness The Massacre of the Innocents – have been important and regularly visited motifs in the history of art.
What makes Helnwein's art significant is its ability to make us reflect emotionally and intellectually on the very expressive subjects he chooses.
Many people feel that museums should be a refuge in which to experience quiet beauty divorced from the coarseness of the world.
At the same time when Helnwein painted watercolors of injured and abused children, from 1969, around 1970/71 he also began a series of self-portrayals in photographs and performances (actions) in his studio and in the streets of Vienna.
Actionistic self-portrayals in the manner of a happening featuring his injured and bandaged body and surgical instruments deforming his face go back to Helnwein's student days.
The artist exposed himself as victim and martyr: bandages around his head and forks and surgical instruments piercing his mouth or cheek.
There is a basic misconception that any given face, at any given time, looks more or less the same, like a statue's face.
Actually, the human face is as variable from moment to moment as a screen on which images are reflected, from within and from without.
And in order to attack the basic misconception, he must underline and exaggerate by distortion, by bandages and metal instruments that force the face into impossible molds.
Images of torture and madness abound, as happens from moment to moment in the face seen as a sensitive reflection of extreme perceptions and experience.
The artist's doppelgänger role as victim and perpetrator, martyr and satyr, penitent and accuser, proxy and self-portrayer, moralist and autist, and in many other metamorphoses embodies and stages the antagonistic social forces on a stage of his inner-world consciousness.
Growing up in a dreary, destroyed post-war Vienna, the young boy was surrounded by unsmiling people, haunted by a recent past they could never speak about.
In those dreams, long before any adult understanding of the specific pains and evils that live holds, the familiar and comforting objects and images of a child's world are rent with something untoward.
For children, not understanding what really to be afraid of, these dreams portend some pain and disturbance lurking into the landscape.
His portrait of Disney's favorite mouse occupies an entire wall of the gallery; rendered from an oblique angle, his jaunty, ingenuous visage looks somehow sneaky and suspicious.
We are meant to be transported to the flickering edges of our own childhood memories in a time imaginably more blameless, crime-less and guiltless.
Living between Los Angeles and Ireland, Helnwein met and photographed the Rolling Stones in London, and his portrait of John F. Kennedy made the front cover of Time magazine on the 20th anniversary of the president's assassination.
Examining his imagery from the 1970s to the present, one sees influences as diverse as Bosch, Goya, John Heartfield, Beuys and Mickey Mouse, all filtered through a postwar Viennese childhood.
'Helnwein's oeuvre embraces total antipodes: The trivial alternates with visions of spiritual doom, the divine in the child contrasts with horror-images of child-abuse.
A four-meter-high, hundred-meter-long picture lane in which the artist recalls the events of Reichskristallnacht, the actual beginning of the Holocaust, on 9 November 1938.
He confronts the passersby with larger-than-life children's faces lined up in a seemingly endless row, as if for concentration camp selection.
Just days into the exhibit, these portraits were vandalized by unknown persons, symbolically cutting the throats of the depicted children's faces.
Helnwein consciously left the panels with the gashes and included them into the presentation, because he decided it made the work stronger and more relevant.
But Kiefer and Helnwein's work are both informed by the personal experience of growing up in a post-war German speaking country...
William Burroughs said that the American revolution begins in books and music, and political operatives implement the changes after the fact.
And Helnwein's art might have the capacity to instigate change by piercing the veil of political correctness to recapture the primitive gesture inherent in art.
To judge by their looks and gestures, they appear to be interested in details such as head, face, back and genitals.
The arrangement of the figures clearly relates to motive and iconography of the adoration of the three Magi, such as were common especially in the German, Italian and Dutch 15th century artworks.
2016 Helnwein became Honorary Member of iSTAN, the International Stage Art Network, a joint venture between the International Theatre Institute ITI and the Central Academy of Drama CAD Beijing.
The metaphor for his art is dominated by the image of the child, but not the carefree innocent child of popular imagination.
Darvill was elected as Labour Member of Parliament for Upminster at the 1997, taking it from the Conservatives, and was one of the few Labour MPs to lose their seat at the 2001 to the Conservatives, in the person of Angela Watkinson.
Darvill stood once again in Upminster, Labour's sixth target, at the May 2005 general election, but failed to regain the seat.
He also stood for the London Assembly and was very narrowly re-elected for his Heaton ward in Havering in the 2006 local elections when Labour was almost wiped out in the borough.
Following the 2010 local elections Labour increased its council group to 5 and Darvill is now Labour Group leader on the Council.
Founded in 1930 by George W. Jenkins, Publix is a private corporation that is wholly owned by present and past employees and members of the Jenkins family.
Publix operates throughout the Southeastern United States, with locations in Florida (831), Georgia (190), Alabama (77), South Carolina (64), Tennessee (46), North Carolina (46), and Virginia (16).
Locations are found as far north as Fredericksburg, Virginia, as far south as Key West, Florida, while the westernmost location is in Mobile, Alabama.
As of January 2019, Publix employs about 193,000 people at its 1,239 retail locations, cooking schools, corporate offices, 9 grocery distribution centers, and 11 manufacturing facilities.
George Jenkins opened the first Publix Food Store in Winter Haven, Florida, on September 6, 1930 - a 3,000 square foot building located at 58 Northwest 4th Street.
By 1959, Publix was the dominant supermarket chain in Central Florida, and began expansion to South Florida, opening a store in Miami and acquiring six stores from Grand Union.
During her time at Publix, the company grew into the largest supermarket chain in Florida, expanded into five other states, and recorded $32.5 billion in sales in 2015.
The sale allowed Publix to operate four stores in a new market area for the company, Escambia County, Florida (the Pensacola area).
On February 5, 2009, Publix opened its 1,000th store in St. Augustine, Florida, becoming one of only 5 U.S. grocery retailers to achieve that quantity of stores.
The store includes motion sensor lights throughout the store, including on the freezer doors, and an overhead light system that can be controlled by each department.
The first Publix outside Florida opened in Savannah, Georgia, in 1991; distribution and manufacturing facilities in Dacula, Georgia (a northeastern suburb of Atlanta) soon followed, as it began to expand into metro Atlanta in 1993.
In 2011, Publix announced it was expanding into North Carolina, initially by opening stores in the Charlotte metropolitan area, and later announced construction of a new store in Asheville.
The first Charlotte-area Publix stores (on the South Carolina side of the metropolitan area, opened in 2012); the first North Carolina Publix store opened in Ballantyne in 2014.
In February 2016, Publix announced their entry into the Virginia market, with the signing of two store leases, the first in Bristol scheduled to open in 2017 and the second in metropolitan Richmond scheduled for 2018.
In July 2016, it was announced that Publix had entered into a purchase agreement with Ahold and Delhaize Group for 10 Martin's Food Markets locations in the Richmond market as part of the divestiture of stores to gain clearance from the Federal Trade Commission for the impending Ahold/Delhaize merger.
President Todd Jones, a 36-year Publix employee whose first job was as a front service clerk (bagger), took on Crenshaw's responsibilities as CEO.
In December 2005, Publix discontinued its photo processing service, replacing it with an online or mail-order service via the Snapfish program.
The schools offer cooking demonstrations in which customers are encouraged to sample easy-to-make, nutritious dishes prepared at in-store kiosks and take a recipe card with them.
Customers could purchase meals that they could assemble in-store or, for an extra charge, an Aprons associate would prepare and assemble the meals.
GreenWise Market is a retail concept the company introduced in 2007 in response to the increase in the number and profitability of health food stores such as Whole Foods Market.
GreenWise Markets were created to increase awareness of nutrition; products under the GreenWise brand are free from added dyes, flavors, hormones, raised without antibiotics, and are USDA organic.
The first six stores were set to be in Palm Beach Gardens, Boca Raton, Vero Beach, Tampa, Naples, and Coral Springs, Florida.
In 2017, the company announced they would resume building standalone GreenWise locations, the first of which will be near the campus of Florida State University in Tallahassee, opening in 2018.
They have since been closed and replaced by newly built locations or merged with existing stores that are not part of the Sabor sub-brand.
Publix Sabor locations have bilingual English-Spanish employees, open seating cafés, and a wider selection of prepared foods from the deli and bakery catering to Hispanic flavors.
Publix offers cafés and hot foods because many Hispanic Americans grew up in foreign cities which had open public squares where people socialize and eat.
Several medical professionals expressed concerns that this could contribute to an overuse of antibiotics which leads to antibiotic resistance, a serious public health concern.
The only restriction is a 90-day supply or up to 360 500-mg, 270 850-mg, or 225 1000-mg tablets, but refills are not limited.
In August 2011, Publix began offering Lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor that is used to prevent, treat, or improve symptoms of high blood pressure, certain heart conditions, diabetes, and certain chronic kidney conditions, as another free prescription.
Customers can get a 90-day supply of this prescription for free at any Publix Pharmacy, up to a maximum of 180 tablets.
In May 2014, Publix began offering Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain (angina) as a free medication.
Customers can get a 90-day supply of this medication (up to 180 2.5-mg or 5-mg tablets, or 90 10-mg tablets) free of charge.
Montelukast, a medicine used for the treatment of allergies and asthma, was added to the free medication program in February 2017, but discontinued at the end of 2018.
The Little Clinic health-care centers were staffed by nurse practitioners who can write prescriptions, provide diagnosis and treatment of common ailments and minor injuries, and offer wellness care like physicals, screenings, and vaccinations.
Effective May 9, 2011, Publix closed the Little Clinics in its stores in order to focus on its core pharmacy and grocery business.
Publix and BayCare Health System announced a collaboration to provide telehealth and telemedicine services at specialized pharmacies in four Tampa Bay-area counties in March 2017.
Pharmacies participating in the program have private rooms for patients to speak with a board-certified physician in BayCare's network via teleconferencing, plus diagnostic tools that can be used by the patient, with or without assistance from pharmacy staff.
Customers had the ability to browse and purchase groceries online, then drive to a participating location where an associate will have selected their items and would bring them out to the buyer's vehicle.
Announced as a pilot program with locations in the Atlanta area and Tampa, the program was ended in January 2012 after its performance reportedly did not meet expectations.
The company later resurrected its curbside concept, this time using its delivery partner, Instacart, to manage the online ordering portion of the service.
Currently in a trial stage, the second iteration of Publix Curbside began with two pilot locations in the greater Tampa area in September 2017, and is expected to expand to the greater Atlanta area by the end of the year.
In July 2016, Publix announced another pilot program with Instacart to offer online shopping and delivery services in the greater Miami area.
Not all products available at stores, such as tobacco, gift cards, prescriptions, and age-restricted items, are able to be delivered by the service.
As of February 2017, Instacart deliveries from Publix are available in the metro areas of Atlanta, Charlotte, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Orlando, Raleigh, Richmond, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Nashville, as determined by ZIP code.
Later in 2017, Publix announced its intent to expand its delivery program, and expects to have the service available from more than 90 percent of stores by the end of the year.
In response to other grocery stores' aggressive discounting across the Florida market, Publix opened its first Food World store in September 1970 in Orlando, Florida.
The store marked the first under the Food World banner for Publix and would become the first of 22 more of the type.
The brand was retired in 1985 because the stores were unable to turn a profit for Publix or give workers a percentage of their store's profits.
In 2014, all Florida and Georgia locations were sold to Circle K, the sole Tennessee location was sold to another entity, and the concept was discontinued.
The stores had not performed well during the downturn and in recent years Publix closed several units, leaving the chain with 36 stores when the sale was announced.
The liquor store is in an area accessed via a separate entrance as required by local laws, modeled after many other grocery chains.
In September 2010, Publix reported it started adding Blockbuster DVD rental kiosks to its stores, with the movie rentals starting at $1 per day.
In 2012, NCR sold its entertainment division, which includes the Blockbuster Express kiosks, to Coinstar, the owner of the Redbox DVD rental kiosks.
This network includes point of sale (POS) capabilities, meaning that debit, credit, electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cash, or EBT food stamp cards can be used to make purchases at any Publix store.
Publix announced that effective January 1, 2015, health coverage would be available to same-sex couples regardless of place of marriage, as long as they are legally married.
In early 2018, Publix came under fire by the Human Rights Campaign and other LGBT rights organizations for refusing to cover PrEP HIV prevention drugs under its employee health plans.
Publix regularly conducts charity drives raising money and food for such charities as Special Olympics, March of Dimes, Children's Miracle Network, United Way, as well as various local food banks and soup kitchens such as Our Father's House Soup Kitchen and Second Harvest North Florida.
Moments before the protests began, the company announced that it would suspend corporate-funded political contributions and reevaluate their political funding practices.
Despite the company's announcement, David Hogg led a die-in on May 25, 2018 at a Publix supermarket with parents and students from Stoneman Douglas High School for 720 seconds, the approximate number of school shootings in recent history.
Six days after halting political contributions, the Florida Retail Federation, a trade group heavily funded (>80% in 2017) by Publix, donated an additional $100,000 to Putnam's Florida Grown political action committee.
Publix stock is privately owned and restricted: it can only be purchased by current employees or board members during designated offering periods, and cannot be sold to anyone without first being offered back to Publix for repurchase.
In 2003, Publix supported a successful bill that prevents owners from suing if their land is polluted by dry cleaning chemicals dumped on an adjacent property, if the adjacent property owners are on a state clean-up list.
On October 4, 2005, Publix sued Visa and MasterCard, citing unfair business practices over their unannounced and non-negotiable increases in merchant account fees.
In 2014, Publix was fined by the Board of Human Rights of Broward County, Florida for discrimination involved in the termination of an LGBT employee.
The son of an electrical engineer, he joined the Royal Artillery straight from Charterhouse School in 1942 and after the war was demobilised as a captain.
In his final year he and Robin Day took part in a debating tour of United States run by the English-Speaking Union.
From Oxford he joined the British Information Services, serving in San Francisco, where he met his wife, Jeanne, an American doctor whom he married in 1951.
His profile was thus at its highest when the election was called, and on 8 October 1959 he ousted the Labour member for Holborn and St Pancras South, Lena Jeger, by 656 votes.
He successfully promoted a bill authorising councils to operate a meals-on-wheels service for the elderly and was soon on the fast track, within six months becoming PPS to ministers at the Board of Trade; in 1962 he moved to the Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance.
His parliamentary career was interrupted in October 1964 when Lena Jeger had her revenge by 2,756 votes as Labour came to power.
However, he returned to the House of Commons the following year at a by-election in the safe Conservative seat of East Grinstead.
When that constituency was abolished for the 1983 election, he was returned for the new Wealden constituency, and held that seat until he retired at the 2001 general election, having served 41 years in Parliament.
Sir Alec Douglas-Home quickly appointed him an Opposition whip, and when Edward Heath became leader that summer he made Johnson-Smith a party vice-chairman.
He was never in the running for the top job, despite his popularity among Conservative ladies, and in April 1971 he instead became Under-Secretary for Defence for the Army.
Johnson-Smith, who was later to launch a successful campaign on behalf of haemophiliacs who had been given infected blood, fought a long battle to curb the Church of Scientology.
The Church had its headquarters near East Grinstead and in 1970 he endured a six-week libel case before a jury vindicated his stance.
In November 1972 Heath moved him sideways to the Civil Service Department, with the remit of sharpening presentation of government policy.
His time there was dominated by the Kenneth Littlejohn affair, which was still rumbling on when Heath called a snap election in February 1974.
When Margaret Thatcher took the leadership, she asked him to oversee media activities at Central Office alongside a fellow television professional, Gordon Reece.
From 1980 to 1996 he chaired the select committee on Member's Interests, having to field embarrassing questions about the business activities of Mrs Thatcher’s son Mark.
From 1985 he chaired the military committee of the North Atlantic Assembly, and from 1987 to 1997 he led the British delegation.
Grafftey received a bachelor of arts degree from Mount Allison University, majoring in political science and history, and a bachelor of civil law degree from McGill University.
Grafftey was first elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 1958 general election that elected John Diefenbaker's Progressive Conservative Party in a landslide victory.
A resident of the Eastern Townships, he was the Member of Parliament (MP) for the riding of Brome—Missisquoi from 1958 to 1968.
In the 1964 Great Flag Debate, he was one of a handful of Conservative MPs who broke with leader John Diefenbaker to support the adoption of the Maple Leaf flag.
Grafftey returned to Parliament in the 1972 election, and was a candidate at the 1976 Progressive Conservative leadership convention, in which he placed last, with 33 delegate votes.
Like many of the other challengers in the race who were knocked off in the early ballots, Grafftey supported the eventual leadership race winner Joe Clark.
He served as Minister of State for Social Programs and Minister of State for Science and Technology in the short lived 1979–1980 government of Joe Clark before losing his seat in the 1980 election.
Grafftey supported Clark in the 1983 PC leadership convention, and was largely shut out of Quebec PC circles during the Mulroney years.
In 2002, he was one of the first Progressive Conservatives to openly call for Tory leader Joe Clark's resignation, offering himself as a replacement.
He ran a campaign that was devoid of defining policy proposals but which focused upon his political experience, his bilingualism and his belief that he could recruit 300,000 new members to help the PCs win the coming election.
Although, like most of the candidates in the race, he supported the twin Progressive Conservative pillars of North American free trade and support for decentralizing reforms to the Canadian constitution, he often found himself in agreement with the left wing of his party, sharing maverick candidate David Orchard's opposition to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Grafftey's candidacy received some media attention largely because he was the only candidate in the race who was fluently bilingual (in English and French) and actually had government experience.
He did not attend the convention, nor did he endorse any other leadership candidate, though many of his rural backers went over to David Orchard.
After the 2003 convention, Grafftey briefly re-entered the political spotlight by joining David Orchard and other former Tories in opposition to a proposed merger of the party with the Canadian Alliance.
He ran in Brome-Missisquoi for the Progressive Canadian Party in the 2006 federal election and came in fifth place with 1,921 votes – 4% of the total ballots cast.
Grafftey was active in business circles up to his death and was the CEO of SafetySense, a company that publishes basic safety booklets for businesses and schools.
Grafftey declared his sexual orientation when he disrupted and stormed out of a service at St. George's Anglican Church in Montreal after the priest delivered what he considered a homophobic sermon.
He served as Member of Parliament (MP) for West Bromwich East from February 1974 until he stood down in the 2001 election.
He is the former Chairman of his hometown football club, Stockport County, as well as being a major shareholder in the club at the time.
He once lived at Greenwood Gardens, Bredbury and was a railwayman and Bredbury and Romiley Urban District councillor representing Bredbury South ward.
He was elected as Labour Member of Parliament for West Bromwich East in 1974, after which he moved to live in Buglawton.
He retained links with the Bredbury area, serving for a time as a director of Stockport County Football Club, which he is now once again as of 2010.
He stood down in the 2001 election and was created a life peer as Baron Snape, of Wednesbury in the County of West Midlands on 9 June 2004.
Two of its reporters, posing as lobbyists for a foreign company looking to set up a chain of shops in the UK, approached a range of peers to see if they could be bribed to help the company to obtain an exemption from the Business Rates Supplements Bill.
The Sunday Times agreed to publish the findings of the Privileges Committee and agreed to pay a 'substantial sum' towards Lord Snape's legal costs.
The headquarters of US Bancorp moved into the US Bancorp Center in 2000, whereupon the tower changed to 225 South 6th Street.
It was initially said to be built one foot shorter out of respect for the IDS Center; however, in 2005, it was revealed that contractors had surreptitiously added of height to Capella, therefore making it taller than the main roof of IDS Center.
In February 2005, the IDS counted a window washing garage built on its roof in 1979 as part of its actual height, making it taller than Capella Tower.
The IDS's communications spires add a significant amount of height making it , and it remains the tallest building in Minneapolis if measured by number of stories (57 vs. 56; actually tied for first with neighbor Wells Fargo Center).
In March 2008, Capella Education Co., longtime occupant of the building and owner of the for-profit online Capella University, signed a lease that changed the name of the tower to Capella Tower.
The new lease expands Capella's square footage in the building from to about , making it the largest tenant in the building.
The expanded facility houses all of the company's 1,150 downtown Minneapolis employees; as the online school does not have classrooms, the space houses administrative staff and faculty.
The office building, designed by Pei, Cobb, Freed & Partners, is laid out on an L-shaped site with the 58-story tower connected to the 20-story Star Tribune Building by an atrium.
Air Atlanta was an airline based in Atlanta, Georgia, United States in the 1980s serving over a dozen cities from its hub in Atlanta.
Air Atlanta's first scheduled route was Atlanta-Memphis with the first flight being operated on February 1, 1984, using a Boeing 727-100 jetliner.
The airline subsequently introduced service to Detroit, Fort Myers, Greenbrier/Lewisburg, WV, New Orleans, Orlando, Philadelphia, Tampa and Washington, D.C. National Airport.
When Air Atlanta initially began service, every seat was a first class seat with meals served on white linen, fine China and crystal.
Air Atlanta then introduced two class service on its Boeing 727 aircraft with 2-2 seating in first class and 2-3 seating in coach with the latter cabin usually being configured with 3-3 seating by most other air carriers that operated the 727.
At the time it filed, KLM offered to invest $10 million in Air Atlanta if the existing investors would match it.
Air Atlanta had a perfect safety record and was responsible for many innovations in the airline industry including with respect to financing its operations through the use of the zero coupon convertible note.
The majority of the flights operated by Air Atlanta were operated to and from Atlanta (ATL) on a nonstop point to point basis.
Several exceptions were nonstop service operated between New York JFK Airport and Lewisburg, West Virginia, via the Greenbrier Valley Airport (LWB), between New York JFK Airport and Philadelphia (PHL) as well as between Tampa (TPA) and Orlando (MCO) and also between Tampa and Fort Myers (RSW).
In addition, Air Atlanta operated direct one stop service between a number of its destinations with most of these flights making an intermediate stop in Atlanta which also served as the airline's connecting hub.
David James Christian Faber (born 7 July 1961) is a schoolmaster and former Conservative member of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
Following his failure to win reelection in 2001, he became an author, before in 2010 being appointed as head master of Summer Fields School, Oxford.
The son of Julian and Lady Caroline Faber, Faber comes from an aristocratic political family drawn from the Whig and latterly the Conservative traditions.
His grandmother, Lady Dorothy Cavendish, was descended from three Prime Ministers, the 4th Duke of Devonshire (1756–1757), the 2nd Earl of Shelburne (1782-1783) and the 3rd Duke of Portland (1783 and 1807–1809), related by marriage to President John F. Kennedy.
He worked in marketing and as a political assistant to Jeffrey Archer before entering the House of Commons in 1992 as Conservative Member of Parliament for Westbury.
He was parliamentary private secretary to the Minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, 1994 to 1996, and then to the Secretary of State for Health, from 1996 to 1997.
In opposition, after the Conservatives lost the 1997 general election, he was their front bench spokesman on Foreign and Commonwealth affairs, until 1998.
He served as a member of several Parliamentary Select Committees: Social Security, 1992–1997, Culture, Media and Sport, 1998 to 2001, and the Public Accounts Committee, 2000–2001.
In 1997, he was reported to be a director of Sterling Marketing, and in 1998 was a director of Freestream Aircraft.
Faber stood down from parliament at the 2001 general election, to be succeeded by fellow Conservative Andrew Murrison, when he began a new career as a writer.
Faber married firstly Sally Gilbert, a television weather girl, and they had one son together, Henry, but later divorced, with Faber citing James Hewitt as co-respondent.
He is a past committee member of the Marylebone Cricket Club, the governing body of the game of cricket, and a member of White's.
The scaling theory he and his colleagues formulated in 1974 postulated that MOSFETs continue to function as voltage-controlled switches while all key figures of merit such as layout density, operating speed, and energy efficiency improve – provided geometric dimensions, voltages, and doping concentrations are consistently scaled to maintain the same electric field.
The Order was created in 1783 by George III at the instigation of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, The 3rd Earl Temple (1753–1813; created The 1st Marquess of Buckingham in 1784).
The regular creation of knights of Saint Patrick lasted until 1921, when most of Ireland became independent as the Irish Free State.
While the Order technically still exists, no knight of St Patrick has been created since 1936, and the last surviving knight, Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, died in 1974.
The position of King of Arms of the order was held by Ulster King of Arms; this office still exists, since 1943 it has been combined with Norroy King of Arms.
The first appointments were made on 11 March 1783, and consisted of 15 Knight Founders, and in total there have been 145 appointments.
The original Royal Warrant (dated 5 February 1783) specified that there were to be no more than fifteen knights of the Order at any one time, something that changed in 1821 when George IV appointed an extra six knights (although the royal warrant was not altered to reflect this change until 1830).
William IV appointed an additional four knights at his coronation, and on 24 January 1833 increased the maximum number of knights to 22.
In his view, a being's interests should always be weighed according to that being's concrete properties, and not according to its belonging to some abstract group.
Singer studies a number of ethical issues including: race, sex, ability, species, abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, embryo experimentation, the moral status of animals, political violence, overseas aid, and whether we have an obligation to assist others.
The 1993 second edition adds chapters on refugees, the environment, equality and disability, embryo experimentation, and the treatment of academics in Germany.
The atoll consists of two main islands: Eanikai in the north, Nuguti in the south, and several smaller islets in between along the eastern rim of the atoll.
The Battle of Drummond's Island occurred during the United States Exploring Expedition in April 1841 at Tabiteuea, then known as Drummond's Island.
During the US Civil War, the Confederate States Navy steamer CSS Shenandoah visited the island on March 23, 1865 in search of United States whalers, but the whalers had fled the area.
Students from Bangai may attend either Nukantewaa School or Ueen Maungan te Raoi School; Bangai does not have enough residents, so the Kiribati authorities do not operate a school there.
Kehtna () is a small borough () in Rapla County, in central Estonia, located about southeast of the town of Rapla.
Following the fall of Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, he immigrated to France at age 12.
His films have received international fame and acclaim, and his first three features were varied meditations on life in his home country Vietnam.
To date, the film is the only representative of Vietnamese cinema to be nominated for Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
The film tells stories of poor people living in Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), and was filmed on location there.
The main characters of the film are three sisters who idolize their parents' family life, before the truth is revealed after the mother's death.
Hùng's films are made so as to rebuild the image of Vietnam that he has lost when immigrating into France and to provide audience with another point of view on Vietnam while this topic has been long dominated by French and American cinema.
The stories are based on Hùng's knowledge about Vietnamese culture and (in the second and third films) his first-hand experience gained from trips to the country.
Hùng is strongly influenced by French cinema and from some European and Japanese filmmakers, namely Bergman, Bresson, Kurosawa, Tarkovsky and Ozu.
As a banner of Vietnamese films, Anh Hung Tran, a French-Vietnamese director, broke the image of poverty and backwardness in the past American and French films with his unique camera images, showing the audience a Vietnam where tenderness and cruelty coexist.
Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) is a system-design platform and development environment for a visual programming language from National Instruments.
Originally released for the Apple Macintosh in 1986, LabVIEW is commonly used for data acquisition, instrument control, and industrial automation on a variety of operating systems (OSs), including Microsoft Windows, various versions of Unix, Linux, and macOS.
Execution flow is determined by the structure of a graphical block diagram (the LabVIEW-source code) on which the programmer connects different function-nodes by drawing wires.
Multi-processing and multi-threading hardware is exploited automatically by the built-in scheduler, which multiplexes multiple OS threads over the nodes ready for execution.
Nodes are connected to one another using wires, e.g., two controls and an indicator can be wired to the addition function so that the indicator displays the sum of the two controls.
Thus a virtual instrument can be run as either a program, with the front panel serving as a user interface, or, when dropped as a node onto the block diagram, the front panel defines the inputs and outputs for the node through the connector pane.
The graphical approach also allows nonprogrammers to build programs by dragging and dropping virtual representations of lab equipment with which they are already familiar.
This is a benefit on one side, but there is also a certain danger of underestimating the expertise needed for high-quality G programming.
For complex algorithms or large-scale code, it is important that a programmer possess an extensive knowledge of the special LabVIEW syntax and the topology of its memory management.
Furthermore, it is possible to create distributed applications, which communicate by a client–server model, and are thus easier to implement due to the inherently parallel nature of G.
Users interface to hardware by either writing direct bus commands (USB, GPIB, Serial) or using high-level, device-specific, drivers that provide native LabVIEW function nodes for controlling the device.
The LabVIEW syntax is strictly enforced during the editing process and compiled into the executable machine code when requested to run or upon saving.
The executable runs with the help of the LabVIEW run-time engine, which contains some pre-compiled code to perform common tasks that are defined by the G language.
Generally, LabVIEW code can be slower than equivalent compiled C code, although the differences often lie more with program optimization than inherent execution speed.
Many libraries with a large number of functions for data acquisition, signal generation, mathematics, statistics, signal conditioning, analysis, etc., along with numerous for functions such as integration, filters, and other specialized abilities usually associated with data capture from hardware sensors is enormous.
LabVIEW is an inherently concurrent language, so it is very easy to program multiple tasks that are performed in parallel via multithreading.
For example, this is done easily by drawing two or more parallel while loops and connecting them to two separate nodes.
This is a great benefit for test system automation, where it is common practice to run processes like test sequencing, data recording, and hardware interfacing in parallel.
Due to the longevity and popularity of the LabVIEW language, and the ability for users to extend its functions, a large ecosystem of third party add-ons has developed via contributions from the community.
There is also an active community of LabVIEW users who communicate through several electronic mailing lists (email groups) and Internet forums.
Unlike common programming languages such as C or Fortran, LabVIEW is not managed or specified by a third party standards committee such as American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), etc.
Many users have criticised it for its tendency to freeze or crash during simple tasks, often requiring the software to be shut down and restarted.
G language being non-textual, software tools such as versioning, side-by-side (or diff) comparison, and version code change tracking cannot be applied in the same manner as for textual programming languages.
There are some additional tools to make comparison and merging of code with source code control (versioning) tools such as subversion, CVS and Perforce.
There was no ability to zoom in to (or enlarge) a VI which will be hard to see on a large, high-resolution monitor.
In 2005, starting with LabVIEW 8.0, major versions are released around the first week of August, to coincide with the annual National Instruments conference NI Week, and followed by a bug-fix release the following February.
In 2017, National Instruments moved the annual conference to May and released LabVIEW 2017 alongside a completely redesigned LabVIEW NXG 1.0 built on Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).
OpenG, as well as LAVA Code Repository (LAVAcr), serve as repositories for a wide range of Open Source LabVIEW applications and libraries.
It is very similar in purpose to Ruby's RubyGems and Perl's CPAN, although it provides a graphical user interface similar to the Synaptic Package Manager.
National Instruments also offers a product named Measurement Studio, which offers many of the test, measurement, and control abilities of LabVIEW, as a set of classes for use with Microsoft Visual Studio.
DSP Robotics' FlowStone DSP also uses a form of graphical programming similar to LabVIEW, but is limited to the robotics industry respectively.
LabVIEW has a direct node with modeFRONTIER, a multidisciplinary and multi-objective optimization and design environment, written to allow coupling to almost any computer-aided engineering tool.
Both can be part of the same process workflow description and can be virtually driven by the optimization technologies available in modeFRONTIER.
Black Knight was a British research ballistic missile, originally developed to test and verify the design of a re-entry vehicle for the Blue Streak missile.
Design work on what would become the Black Knight launch vehicle commenced in 1955, being performed by the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) and British manufacturer Saunders-Roe.
The success of the Black Knight as a cheap and successful test vehicle led to many studies being performed into further derivatives of the vehicle, including its adaption to serve as an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) and as a launch vehicle, including one proposal, which was based on the Blue Streak missile and the Black Knight, known as the Black Prince.
During the early 1950s, the UK government had identified the need to develop its own series of ballistic missiles due to advances being made in this field, particularly by the Soviet Union and the United States.
The ballistic missile was of critical importance to developing a more effective method of nuclear deterrence, replacing the role currently occupied by free-fall nuclear bombs and thus a reliance on ever-more complex, costly and capable aircraft.
A British programme to develop such a missile, named Blue Streak, was promptly initiated; however, there were key questions over the then-relatively unknown scenario of what such a vehicle would encounter when attempting re-entry to the atmosphere, there were fears that such a vehicle might simply burn up like a meteor and therefore be unachievable.
To explore the phenomenon of atmospheric entry, it was decided that a dedicated research programme would be necessary in order to acquire research information that would shape the design of subsequent ballistic vehicles.
Britain had also never previously developed a ballistic missile before, the field being relatively new and with few participants, thus there was significant value in developing and constructing a research ballistic missile in order to gain experience and data on how to design and build such vehicles, develop launch techniques, and general handling.
In 1955, due to its close relationship with the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE), the British government awarded a contract to British manufacturer Saunders-Roe to produce the Black Knight.
This contract involved a complete package for the design, development, manufacturing and testing of the vehicle as well as its flight control system, instrumentation, and supporting infrastructure for its operation.
Amongst applicable fields for the accumulated data included a greater understanding of the physics involved in re-entry vehicles, which had military value due to this scope including ballistic missiles and missile defense.
Specifically, it influenced the development of the British-built Blue Streak missile programme, while generally benefitting scientific understanding in both the United Kingdom and the United States.
While the Blue Streak missile had by this point been recognised as being too costly to serve as a competitive launcher in the face of international competition, the Black Knight was viewed as having the potential to be more cost-effective in this regard.
One of more radical ideas for reusing the Black Knight was voiced by Armstrong-Siddeley, who suggested that the rocket be repurposed as the foundations for an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM).
This proposal would have involved greatly increasing the size of the vehicle itself, and the adoption of a substantially more powerful rocket engine in place of the Gamma engine.
The RAE performed a multitude of studies on the subject of prospective derivatives of the Black Knight and its Gamma engine.
Many of these focused on the possibility of extending the vehicle to operate a launcher for small satellites and proposed the use of liquid hydrogen-fuelled upper stage, which was comparatively expensive to develop while not providing much payload capacity without redesigning of the Black Knight vehicle itself as well.
An alternative solution for satellite launches was explored by the RAE, in which solid fuel boosters would have been attached to the Black Knight.
This proposal would have involved a basically unmodified Black Knight vehicle being paired with two strap-on boosters along with two further stages in order to be capable of placing a 100 lb payload into a 200-mile-high orbit.
This envisioned more powerful Black Knight rocket was to have been used as part of a further set of planned experiments, which had been codenamed 'Crusade'.
Upon review, HM Treasury refused provide any funding for further Black Knight projects, and work on an enlarged Black Knight was abandoned in favour of the larger Black Arrow satellite launcher.
In operation, the Black Knight could attain an altitude of up to 600 miles, and achieve a re-entry velocity of 12,000 feet per second.
The Black Knight was powered by Bristol Siddeley Gamma rocket engines, designed and manufactured by Armstrong-Siddeley at their factory in Ansty, near Coventry.
Between 1956 and 1959, the Gamma rocket engines underwent testing at the High Down Rocket Test Site under the direction of Paul Leyton.
The engine ran on kerosene fuel and high-test peroxide (HTP) oxidiser; Saunders-Roe possessed prior experience of working with this fuel mixture as a result of the firm's work on the Saunders-Roe SR.53 rocket propelled interceptor aircraft.
During 1957, the first test run of the Black Knight rocket was performed at High Down on the Isle of Wight.
In September 1958, the second test launch was performed, this being the first to use the dedicated launch facility at the Woomera Test Range, Australia; the majority of Black Knight launches were performed from Woomera, leading to the launchers being constructed in the UK and then transported to Australia.
The first two launch vehicles were used as 'proving rounds': launches which lacked any payload in order to test and validate the design of the rocket itself.
The third launch of the Black Knight was the first to carry an actual payload in the form of a re-entry vehicle, which was present for the purpose of testing the properties of the re-entry body's chosen design.
All the re-entry firings deliberately took place on clear moonless nights, so that the luminous wake of the re-entry body could be observed photographically.
Heads composed of a composite asbestos-based material known as Durestos were also flown, and later tests finalised on a cone-shaped head re-entering pointed-end first, as used on many subsequent missile RVs.
The majority, 21, were fired as part of re-entry experiments; if they had been used as launch vehicles for satellites, the majority of these firing would have successfully attained orbit.
The remaining two rockets (BK02 and BK22) were preserved and are now kept on static display in museums in Edinburgh and Liverpool.
As his reputation grew, students from all over Europe flocked to him and by 1869 his house became known as the Radin Yeshiva.
Other notable works include the Sefer Shmirat HaLashon, an ethical work on the importance of guarding one's tongue and the Mishnah Berurah (1894-1907) which is a commentary on the Orach Chayim, the first section of the Shulchan Aruch, and has been accepted universally among Ashkenazi Jews as an authoritative source of Halacha.
For which, he won the 1973 Drama Desk Award for Most Promising Performer as well as the 1974 Theatre World Award, and a nomination for the 1974 Tony Award in the category for Best Supporting or Featured Actor in a Musical.
There is no single dialect that is considered the most prestigious or most prominent, and no standard writing system that covers all dialects.
Dialects of Ojibwemowin are spoken in Canada, from southwestern Quebec, through Ontario, Manitoba and parts of Saskatchewan, with outlying communities in Alberta; and in the United States, from Michigan to Wisconsin and Minnesota, with a number of communities in North Dakota and Montana, as well as groups that removed to Kansas and Oklahoma during the Indian Removal period.
While there is some variation in the classification of its dialects, at least the following are recognized, from east to west: Algonquin, Eastern Ojibwe, Ottawa (Odawa), Western Ojibwe (Saulteaux), Oji-Cree (Severn Ojibwe), Northwestern Ojibwe, and Southwestern Ojibwe (Chippewa).
Based upon contemporary field research, J. R. Valentine also recognizes several other dialects: Berens Ojibwe in northwestern Ontario, which he distinguishes from Northwestern Ojibwe; North of (Lake) Superior; and Nipissing.
The aggregated dialects of Ojibwemowin comprise the second most commonly spoken First Nations language in Canada (after Cree), and the fourth most widely spoken in the United States or Canada behind Navajo, the Inuit languages and Cree.
The Algonquian language family of which Ojibwemowin is a member is itself a member of the Algic language family, other Algic languages being Wiyot and Yurok.
Central Algonquian is a geographical term of convenience rather than a genetic subgroup, and its use does not indicate that the Central languages are more closely related to each other than to the other Algonquian languages.
Ojibwe communities are found in Canada from southwestern Quebec, through Ontario, southern Manitoba and parts of southern Saskatchewan; and in the United States from northern Michigan through northern Wisconsin and northern Minnesota, with a number of communities in northern North Dakota and northern Montana.
Groups of speakers of the Ottawa dialect migrated to Kansas and Oklahoma during the historical period, with a small amount of linguistic documentation of the language in Oklahoma.
The Ojibwe language is reported as spoken by a total of 8,791 people in the United States of which 7,355 are Native Americans and by as many as 47,740 in Canada, making it one of the largest Algic languages by numbers of speakers.
The Red Lake, White Earth, and Leech Lake reservations are known for their tradition of singing hymns in the Ojibwe language.
Because the dialects of Ojibwe are at least partly mutually intelligible, Ojibwe is usually considered to be a single language with a number of dialects, i.e.
The degree of mutually intelligibility between nonadjacent dialects varies considerably; recent research has shown that there is strong differentiation between the Ottawa dialect spoken in southern Ontario and northern Michigan; the Severn Ojibwa dialect spoken in northern Ontario and Manitoba; and the Algonquin dialect spoken in southwestern Quebec.
Many communities adjacent to these relatively sharply differentiated dialects show a mix of transitional features, reflecting overlap with other nearby dialects.
While each of these dialects has undergone innovations that make them distinctive, their status as part of the Ojibwe language complex is not in dispute.
The relatively low degrees of mutual intelligibility between some nonadjacent Ojibwe dialects led Rhodes and Todd to suggest that Ojibwe should be analyzed as a linguistic subgroup consisting of several languages.
While there is some variation in the classification of Ojibwe dialects, at a minimum the following are recognized, proceeding west to east: Western Ojibwe (Saulteaux), Southwestern Ojibwe (Chippewa), Northwestern Ojibwe, Severn Ojibwe (Oji-Cree), Ottawa (Odawa), Eastern Ojibwe, and Algonquin.
Based upon contemporary field research, Valentine also recognizes several other dialects: Berens Ojibwe in northwestern Ontario, which he distinguishes from Northwestern Ojibwe; North of (Lake) Superior; and Nipissing.
Two recent analyses of the relationships between the Ojibwe dialects are in agreement on the assignment of the strongly differentiated Ottawa dialect to a separate subgroup, and the assignment of Severn Ojibwe and Algonquin to another subgroup, and differ primarily with respect to the relationships between the less strongly differentiated dialects.
Rhodes and Todd recognize several different dialectal subgroupings within Ojibwe: (a) Ottawa; (b) Severn and Algonquian; (c) a third subgroup which is further divided into (i) a subgrouping of Northwestern Ojibwe and Saulteaux, and a subgrouping consisting of Eastern Ojibwe and a further subgrouping comprising Southwestern Ojibwe and Central Ojibwe.
Documentation of such usage dates from the 18th and 19th centuries, but earlier use is likely, with reports as early as 1703 suggesting that Ojibwe was used by different groups from the Gulf of Saint Lawrence to Lake Winnipeg, and from as far south as Ohio to Hudson Bay.
In the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, the eastern end of the Upper Peninsula, the area between Lake Erie and Lake Huron, and along the north shore of Georgian Bay, the Ottawa dialect served as a trade language.
A widespread pattern of asymmetrical bilingualism is found in the area south of the Great Lakes in which speakers of Potawatomi or Menominee, both Algonquian languages, also spoke Ojibwe, but Ojibwe speakers did not speak the other languages.
Other reports from the 18th century and the early 19th century indicate that speakers of the unrelated Siouan language Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) also used Ojibwe when dealing with Europeans and others.
Michif is a mixed language that primarily is based upon French and Plains Cree, with some vocabulary from Ojibwe, in addition to phonological influence in Michif-speaking communities where there is a significant Ojibwe influence.
Most dialects have the segment glottal stop in their inventory of consonant phonemes; Severn Ojibwe and the Algonquin dialect have in its place.
In some dialects, such as Severn Ojibwe, members of the fortis set are realized as a sequence of followed by a single segment drawn from the set of lenis consonants: .
Algonquin Ojibwe is reported as distinguishing fortis and lenis consonants on the basis of voicing, with fortis being voiceless and lenis being voiced.
Although they may be devoiced at the end or beginning of a word, they are less vigorously articulated than fortis consonants, and are invariably unaspirated.
All dialects of Ojibwe have two nasal consonants and , one labialized velar approximant , one palatal approximant , and either or .
Although long and short vowels are phonetically distinguished by vowel quality, recognition of vowel length in phonological representations is required, as the distinction between long and short vowels is essential for the operation of the metrical rule of vowel syncope, which characterizes the Ottawa and Eastern Ojibwe dialects, as well as for the rules that determine word stress.
There are three short vowels and three corresponding long vowels in addition to a fourth long vowel , which lacks a corresponding short vowel.
The short vowel typically has phonetic values centring on ; typically has values centring on ; and typically has values centring on .
The latter have been analysed as underlying phonemes and/or as predictable and derived by the operation of phonological rules from sequences of a long vowel and /n/ and another segment, typically /j/.
Placement of word stress is determined by metrical rules that define a characteristic iambic metrical foot, in which a weak syllable is followed by a strong syllable.
A foot consists of a minimum of one syllable and a maximum of two syllables, with each foot containing a maximum of one strong syllable.
The structure of the metrical foot defines the domain for relative prominence, in which a strong syllable is assigned stress because it is more prominent than the weak member of the foot.
Noun inflection and particularly verb inflection indicate a wide variety of grammatical information, realized through the use of prefixes and suffixes added to word stems.
Like any language dialects spanning vast regions, some words that may have had identical meaning at one time have evolved to have different meanings today.
A syllabic writing system, not related to English or French writing, is used by some Ojibwe speakers in northern Ontario and Manitoba.
It was used primarily by speakers of Fox, Potawatomi, and Winnebago, but there is some indirect evidence of use by speakers of Southwestern Ojibwe.
Although there is no standard orthography, the double vowel system is used by many Ojibwe language teachers because of its ease of use.
A wide range of materials have been published in the system, including a grammar, dictionaries, collections of texts, and pedagogical grammars.
In northern Ontario and Manitoba, Ojibwe is most commonly written using the Cree syllabary, a syllabary originally developed by Methodist missionary James Evans around 1840 in order to write Cree.
The syllabic system is based in part on Evans' knowledge of Pitman's shorthand and his prior experience developing a distinctive alphabetic writing system for Ojibwe in southern Ontario.
Recently, there has been more of a push toward bringing the Ojibwe language back into more common use, through language classes and programs sponsored by universities, sometimes available to non-students, which are essential to passing on the Ojibwe language.
These courses mainly target adults and young adults, however there are many resources for all age groups, including online games which provide domains for online language use.
Hamilton led the Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan from 1949 until he was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 1957 general election.
After the war, he ran three times unsuccessfully as the Progressive Conservative candidate for the Canadian House of Commons in the 1945, 1949, and 1953 elections.
He was elected in 1957 in the riding of Qu'Appelle and re-elected 4 more times in 1958, 1962, 1963, and 1965.
He ran in the riding of Regina East in the 1968 federal election, and lost by 192 votes to the New Democrat candidate.
He was elected again in the 1972 federal election in the riding of Qu'Appelle—Moose Mountain and was re-elected 4 more times in 1974, 1979, 1980, and 1984.
Hamilton served as Minister of Northern Affairs and National Resources in the Diefenbaker cabinet from 1957 to 1960, supporting a new vision of northern development.
From 1960 to the 1963 election, when the Diefenbaker government was defeated, Hamilton served as Minister of Agriculture, pioneering wheat sales to the People's Republic of China.
This is a rare honour for someone who did not serve as Prime Minister of Canada, Chief Justice of Canada or Governor General of Canada.
After Hamilton retired from politics in 1988, he lived a relatively secluded life in the Ottawa-area town of Manotick, where he lived until his death in 2004.
On June 28, 2007, the newly refurbished Government of Canada Building in downtown Regina, Saskatchewan, was officially named the Francis Alvin George Hamilton Building.
Also, one of the reception rooms at the Embassy of Canada to China in Beijing is called the Alvin Hamilton Room.
Edmund Davie Fulton, (March 10, 1916 – May 22, 2000) was a Canadian Rhodes Scholar, politician and judge, who was also known as E. Davie Fulton.
He was born in Kamloops, British Columbia, the son of politician/lawyer Frederick John Fulton and Winnifred M. Davie, daughter of A. E. B. Davie.
Davie Fulton served in the Second World War with the Canadian Army overseas as Platoon and Company Commander with Seaforth Highlanders of Canada, and as Deputy Assistant Adjutant-General with the 1st Canadian Infantry Division in the Italian and Northwestern Europe campaigns.
He went missing in action in late 1942, and in 1943 the Kamloops adopted the Moose Squadron in honour of its commander.
He was brought home from the war by the Conservative Party and won a seat by 100 votes in the House of Commons of Canada in the 1945 general election.
In 1949 he introduced legislation to criminalize the publication, distribution, and sale of crime comics, as the result of a murder by two Yukon teens that was blamed on the influence of the crime comics which the perpetrators had read.
He ran for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada at the 1956 leadership convention, placing third behind John Diefenbaker.
He resigned from Cabinet in 1963, when he decided to leave federal politics and take the leadership of the British Columbia Progressive Conservative Party.
His efforts to revive the provincial Tories in BC were a failure, and he returned to the House of Commons in the 1965 election.
Fulton stood as a candidate at the 1967 federal PC leadership convention, and placed third behind Robert Stanfield and Dufferin Roblin.
Their peoples have become members of federally recognized tribes throughout their traditional areas of settlement, often colocated with the Northern Paiute people of the Great Basin.
The largest numbers of Shoshoni speakers live on the federally recognized Duck Valley Indian Reservation, located on the border of Nevada and Idaho; and Goshute Reservation in Utah.
The Shoshone are a Native American tribe, who originated in the western Great Basin and spread north and east into present-day Idaho and Wyoming.
The Northern Shoshone, led by Chief Pocatello, fought during the 1860s with settlers in Idaho (where the city Pocatello was named for him).
The warfare resulted in the Bear River Massacre (1863) when US forces attacked and killed an estimated 410 Northwestern Shoshone, who were at their winter encampment.
When the Shoshone, along with the Utes participated in attacks on the mail route that ran west out of Fort Laramie, the mail route had to be relocated south of the trail through Wyoming.
Allied with the Bannock, to whom they were related, the Shoshone fought against the United States in the Snake War from 1864 to 1868.
In 1876, by contrast, the Shoshone fought alongside the U.S. Army in the Battle of the Rosebud against their traditional enemies, the Lakota and Cheyenne.
A rancher donated the partial remains of three adult males, two adult females, two adolescent males, and three children (believed to be Shoshone Mike and his family, according to contemporary accounts) to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC for study.
In 2008 the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation acquired the site of the Bear River Massacre and some surrounding land.
They wanted to protect the holy land and to build a memorial to the massacre, the largest their nation had suffered.
In 1845 the estimated population of Northern and Western Shoshone was 4,500, much reduced after they had suffered infectious disease epidemics and warfare.
The completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 was followed by European-American immigrants arriving in unprecedented numbers in the territory.
Wolfram syndrome, also called DIDMOAD (diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness), is a rare autosomal-recessive genetic disorder that causes childhood-onset diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness as well as various other possible disorders.
Wolfram syndrome was initially thought to be caused by mitochondrial dysfunction due to its symptoms and several reports of mitochondrial mutations.
The WFS1 gene is active in cells throughout the body, with strong activity in the heart, brain, lungs, inner ear, and pancreas.
Among its many activities, the endoplasmic reticulum folds and modifies newly formed proteins so they have the correct 3-dimensional shape to function properly.
The endoplasmic reticulum also helps transport proteins, fats, and other materials to specific sites within the cell or to the cell surface.
In the pancreas, wolframin may help fold a protein precursor of insulin (called proinsulin) into the mature hormone that controls blood glucose levels.
Research findings also suggest that wolframin may help maintain the correct cellular level of charged calcium atoms (calcium ions) by controlling how much is stored in the endoplasmic reticulum.
In the inner ear, wolframin may help maintain the proper levels of calcium ions or other charged particles that are essential for hearing.
More than 30 WFS1 mutations have been identified in individuals with a form of nonsyndromic deafness (hearing loss without related signs and symptoms affecting other parts of the body) called DFNA6.
DFNA6 hearing loss is unlike most forms of nonsyndromic deafness that affect high tones (high-frequency sounds), such as birds chirping, or all frequencies of sound.
Most WFS1 mutations replace one of the protein building blocks (amino acids) used to make wolframin with an incorrect amino acid.
Some researchers suggest that altered wolframin disturbs the balance of charged particles in the inner ear, which interferes with the hearing process.
This syndrome is characterised by childhood-onset diabetes mellitus (DM), which results from the improper control of glucose due to the lack of insulin; a gradual loss of vision caused by optic atrophy (OA), in which the nerve that connects the eye to the brain wastes away; and deafness (D).
Researchers suggest that the loss of wolframin disrupts the production of insulin, which leads to poor glucose control and diabetes mellitus.
Patients past medical history can help diagnosis as it may indicate symptoms such as having diabetes mellitus and then developing vision loss.
Desmopressin to treat diabetes insipidus, antibiotics for UTI, hearing aids of cochlear implants for hearing loss and supportive aids for visual loss such as magnifying glasses.
New treatment advances include research evaluating ER calcium stabilizers and repurposed drugs/small molecules to reduce ER stress and reduce apoptosis, thus slowing progression of Wolfram syndrome.
A three tiered approach toward the treatment of Wolfram syndrome includes stopping disease progression, protecting and regrowing remaining tissue, and replacing and repairing pathogenic genes.
Research for designing therapeutic trials is ongoing via the Washington University Wolfram Study Group, supported by The Ellie White Foundation for Rare Genetic Disorders and The Jack and J.T.
The search for an ER calcium stabilizer and a molecular prosthetic is ongoing Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium levels are lower in patients with Wolfram syndrome, leading to cell dysfunction and death.
Research is currently underway to evaluate several possible repurposed drugs and small molecules to reduce ER stress in Wolfram syndrome and slow progression of the disease.
In Numbers chapter 12, Miriam gossips with her brother Aaron, questioning why Moses is more qualified to lead the Jewish people than anyone else.
There are times when a person is permitted or even required to disclose information whether or not the information is disparaging.
When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat (planographic) image carrier.
Ink rollers transfer ink to the image areas of the image carrier, while a water roller applies a water-based film to the non-image areas.
Development of the offset press came in two versions: in 1875 by Robert Barclay of England for printing on tin, and in 1904 by Ira Washington Rubel of the United States for printing on paper.
Tin cans were popular packaging materials in the 19th century, but transfer technologies were required before the lithographic process could be used to print on the tin.
This development combined mid-19th century transfer printing technologies and Richard March Hoe's 1843 rotary printing press—a press that used a metal cylinder instead of a flat stone.
The offset cylinder was covered with specially treated cardboard that transferred the printed image from the stone to the surface of the metal.
Many printers, including Ira Washington Rubel of New Jersey, were using the low-cost lithograph process to produce copies of photographs and books.
Rubel discovered in 1901—by forgetting to load a sheet—that printing from the rubber roller, instead of the metal, made the printed page clearer and sharper.
Newspaper publisher Staley T. McBrayer invented the Vanguard web offset press for newspaper printing, which he unveiled in 1954 in Fort Worth, Texas.
This includes converting to the proper CMYK color model, finalizing the files, and creating plates for each color of the job to be run on the press.
Compared to other printing methods, offset printing is best suited for economically producing large volumes of high quality prints in a manner that requires little maintenance.
Computer-to-plate (CTP) is a newer technology which replaced computer-to-film (CTF) technology, and that allows the imaging of metal or polyester plates without the use of film.
By eliminating the stripping, compositing, and traditional plate making processes, CTP altered the printing industry, which led to reduced prepress times, lower costs of labor, and improved print quality.
However often the violet CTP systems are cheaper than thermal ones, and thermal CTP systems do not need to be operated under yellow light.
Thermal CTP involves the use of thermal lasers to expose or remove areas of coating while the plate is being imaged.
These lasers are generally at a wavelength of 830 nm, but vary in their energy usage depending on whether they are used to expose or ablate material.
Sheet-fed refers to individual sheets of paper or rolls being fed into a press via a suction bar that lifts and drops each sheet onto place.
Sheet-fed presses use mechanical registration to relate each sheet to one another to ensure that they are reproduced with the same imagery in the same position on every sheet running through the press.
A perfecting press, also known as a duplex press, is one that can print on both sides of the paper at the same time.
Web and sheet-fed offset presses are similar in that many of them can also print on both sides of the paper in one pass, making it easier and faster to print duplex.
Small offset lithographic presses that are used for fast, good quality reproduction of one-color and two-color copies in sizes up to 12″ by 18″.
This is where the substrate is loaded and then the system is correctly set up to the certain specifications of the substrate to the press.
Heatset presses can print on both coated (slick) and uncoated papers, while coldset presses are restricted to uncoated paper stock, such as newsprint.
Some coldset web presses can be fitted with heat dryers, or ultraviolet lamps (for use with UV-curing inks), thus enabling a newspaper press to print color pages heatset and black & white pages coldset.
Speed is a determining factor when considering the completion time for press production; some web presses print at speeds of 3,000 feet (915 meters) per minute or faster.
In addition to the benefits of speed and quick completion, some web presses have the inline ability to cut, perforate, and fold.
This subset of web offset printing uses inks which dry by evaporation in a dryer typically positioned just after the printing units; it is typically done on coated papers, where the ink stays largely on the surface, and gives a glossy high contrast print image after the drying.
The speed at which the ink dries is a function of dryer temperature and length of time the paper is exposed to this temperature.
Because individual sheets are fed through, a large number of sheet sizes and format sizes can be run through the same press.
This allows for lower cost preparation so that good paper is not wasted while setting up the press, for plates and inks.
Waste sheets do bring some disadvantages as often there are dust and offset powder particles that transfer on to the blankets and plate cylinders, creating imperfections on the printed sheet.
Web-fed presses, on the other hand, are much faster than sheet-fed presses, with speeds up to 80,000 cut-offs per hour (a cut-off is the paper that has been cut off a reel or web on the press; the length of each sheet is equal to the cylinder's circumference).
There are many types of paste inks available for utilization in offset lithographic printing and each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Cold-set inks are set simply by absorption into non-coated stocks and are generally used for newspapers and books but are also found in insert printing and are the most economical option.
If ink and water are not properly balanced, the press operator may end up with many different problems affecting the quality of the finished product, such as emulsification (the water overpowering and mixing with the ink).
This leads to scumming, catchup, trapping problems, ink density issues and in extreme cases the ink not properly drying on the paper; resulting in the job being unfit for delivery to the client.
With the proper balance, the job will have the correct ink density and should need little further adjustment except for minor ones.
In this case the machinist will gradually increase the water as the press heats up to compensate for the increased evaporation of water.
Alcohol is added to the water to lower the surface tension and help cool the press a bit so the ink stays stable so it can set and dry fast.
While the acid fountain solution has improved in the last several decades, neutral and alkaline fountain solutions have also been developed.
Since about 2000, alkaline-based fountain solutions have become less common due to the inherent health hazards of high pH and the objectionable odor of the necessary microbiological additives.
Acid-based fountain solutions are still the most common variety and yield the best quality results by means of superior protection of the printing plate, lower dot gains, and longer plate life.
However, because these products require more active ingredients to run well than do neutrals and alkalines, they are also the most expensive to produce.
However, neutrals and, to a lesser degree, alkalines are still an industry staple and will continue to be used for most newspapers and many lower-quality inserts.
Substantial investment in the larger presses required for offset lithography was needed, and had an effect on the shape of the printing industry, leading to fewer, larger, printers.
Crookes & Crosspool ward—which includes the districts of Crookes, Steelbank, Crosspool, and Sandygate —is one of the 28 electoral wards in City of Sheffield, England.
The current councillors for Crookes and Crosspool Ward are Labour's Anne Murphy, and the Liberal Democrats’ Tim Huggan and Mohammed Mahroof.
In the 2004 local elections Sylvia Anginotti, John Hesketh, and Brian Holmes, all Liberal Democrats, were returned as councillors for the newly drawn ward.
In the 2016 local elections that took place under redrawn boundaries, Labour’s Ann Murphy were returned along with the Liberal Democrats’ Adam Hanrahan.
In 2018 Mohammed Mahroof defeated Labour’s Craig Gamble-Pugh, leaving Anne Murphy as the only Labour Councillor within the Sheffield Hallam Constituency.
It borders Broomhill to the south, Walkley and Crookesmoor to the east and open countryside around the River Rivelin to the north.
It is home to a large student population from the nearby University of Sheffield, and contained the university's Tapton Hall of Residence until this was demolished in 2014.
Roads on Steel Bank are Western Road, Brighton Terrace Road, Melbourn Road, Mona Road, and the very steep Townend Street and Bates Street.
It is home to the oldest football ground in the world, Sandygate Road, which has been home to Hallam C.C since 1804 and Hallam F.C.
It is part of Deep Bay, an internationally significant wetland that is actually a shallow estuary, at the mouths of Sham Chun River, Shan Pui River (Yuen Long Creek) and Tin Shui Wai Nullah.
Inner Deep Bay is listed as a Ramsar site under Ramsar Convention in 1995, and supports globally important numbers of wetland birds, which chiefly arrive in winter and during spring and autumn migrations.
The education center and natural conservation area is wide and its surrounding wetland has an area of 1500 acres (6 km).
The reserve is managed by the World Wide Fund for Nature Hong Kong since 1983; the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department has responsibilities for the Ramsar site as a whole.
Deep Bay faces threats, including pollution, and rising mudflat levels that perhaps arise from intense urbanization, especially (in recent years) on the north, Shenzhen side of the bay.
It also has inter-tidal mangroves along with 24 traditionally operated shrimp ponds (called Gei Wai locally) to provide food for the birds.
While the area was taken out of the Frontier Closed Area on 15 February 2012, Mai Po Nature Reserve remains a restricted area under the Wild Animals Protection Ordinance (Chapter 170) in order to minimize disturbance to wildlife.
Visitors need a 'Mai Po Marshes Entry Permit' to enter the Reserve which they can apply for by writing to the Agriculture, Fisheries & Conservation Department of Hong Kong Government.
Not only was  the species new to science, but it was also the first time for the genus Pteroptyx has been recorded in China.
To understand the seasonal population changes, distribution and habitat requirements of the species, WWF Hong Kong have been carrying out firefly surveys of the nature reserve.
The surveys have also incorporated Citizen Science participation, and using this approach to further monitor the biodiversity, WWF have incorporated iNaturalist and the City Nature Challenge into activities at their Mai Po centre.
In February 2008, the Hong Kong government closed Mai Po for 21 days following the discovery of a great egret infected with H5N1, also known as avian flu.
The closing marked the fourth in as many years and was consistent with the government's policy of closing Mai Po whenever an infection is discovered within a 3 kilometer radius of the premises.
The World Wide Fund for Nature criticized the government, however, for what it called a discrepancy between the standards for closing Mai Po and the comparably less strict standards applied in urban areas.
The oldest records date back to 1241 in the Danish Census Book, when it was said that it was a small village with 8 acres of cultivated fields.
The old stone church was demolished in the late 19th century and a new one was built in a Romanesque style, one of the purest examples of this style in all of Estonia.
During this time period, a number of social societies were established, such as the Volunteer Fire Company, the Song and Music Society, the Society of Agriculture, a Mutual Fire Insurance Company, a Consumer Association, and the Deposit Insurance Fund.
The Fulton–Favreau formula was a proposed formula of amendment of the Constitution of Canada developed by federal justice minister E. Davie Fulton and Quebec Liberal Guy Favreau in the 1960s.
Under the formula, all provinces would have to approve amendments that would be relevant to provincial jurisdiction including the use of the French and English languages, but only the relevant provinces would be needed to approve amendments concerned with a particular region of Canada.
Two-thirds of the provinces representing half of the population, as well as the federal Parliament, would be needed for amendments regarding education.
In turn, Lesage argued he was merely pushing for Quebec and French Canada to fully develop their rightful roles within Canada.
This would make the jurisdictional issue amendable only by unanimity, which would potentially threaten growth of labour legislation, medicare and other social services.
Though the formula officially died in 1965 when Quebec Premier Lesage withdrew his support, a modified version of this formula was finally adopted in 1982, with the enactment of the Constitution Act, 1982 and the patriation of the Canadian Constitution.
Soil liquefaction occurs when a saturated or partially saturated soil substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress such as shaking during an earthquake or other sudden change in stress condition, in which material that is ordinarily a solid behaves like a liquid.
If the soil is saturated by water, a condition that often exists when the soil is below the water table or sea level, then water fills the gaps between soil grains ('pore spaces').
In response to soil compressing, the pore water pressure increases and the water attempts to flow out from the soil to zones of low pressure (usually upward towards the ground surface).
earthquake shaking, storm wave loading) such that the water does not flow out before the next cycle of load is applied, the water pressures may build to the extent that it exceeds the force (contact stresses) between the grains of soil that keep them in contact.
These contacts between grains are the means by which the weight from buildings and overlying soil layers is transferred from the ground surface to layers of soil or rock at greater depths.
This loss of soil structure causes it to lose its strength (the ability to transfer shear stress), and it may be observed to flow like a liquid (hence 'liquefaction').
Although the effects of liquefaction have been long understood, engineers took more notice after the 1964 Niigata earthquake and 1964 Alaska earthquake.
It was a major factor in the destruction in San Francisco's Marina District during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, and in Port of Kobe during the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake.
More recently liquefaction was largely responsible for extensive damage to residential properties in the eastern suburbs and satellite townships of Christchurch, New Zealand during the 2010 Canterbury earthquake and more extensively again following the Christchurch earthquakes that followed in early and mid-2011.
The government of Indonesia is considering designating the two neighborhoods of Balaroa and Petobo, that have been totally buried under mud, as mass graves.
The building codes in many countries require engineers to consider the effects of soil liquefaction in the design of new buildings and infrastructure such as bridges, embankment dams and retaining structures.
a single, sudden occurrence of a change in stress – examples include an increase in load on an embankment or sudden loss of toe support) or cyclic loading (i.e.
In both cases a soil in a saturated loose state, and one which may generate significant pore water pressure on a change in load are the most likely to liquefy.
This is because loose soil has the tendency to compress when sheared, generating large excess porewater pressure as load is transferred from the soil skeleton to adjacent pore water during undrained loading.
A 'flow failure' may initiate if the strength of the soil is reduced below the stresses required to maintain the equilibrium of a slope or footing of a structure.
Casagrande referred to this type of phenomena as 'flow liquefaction' although a state of zero effective stress is not required for this to occur.
This is a soil test-based definition, usually performed via cyclic triaxial, cyclic direct simple shear, or cyclic torsional shear type apparatus.
These tests are performed to determine a soil's resistance to liquefaction by observing the number of cycles of loading at a particular shear stress amplitude required to induce 'fails'.
Liquefaction is more likely to occur in loose to moderately saturated granular soils with poor drainage, such as silty sands or sands and gravels containing impermeable sediments.
seismic loading, loose sands tend to decrease in volume, which produces an increase in their pore water pressures and consequently a decrease in shear strength, i.e.
Deposits most susceptible to liquefaction are young (Holocene-age, deposited within the last 10,000 years) sands and silts of similar grain size (well-sorted), in beds at least metres thick, and saturated with water.
loose sands, can be triggered to collapse, either monotonically or cyclically, if the static shear stress is greater than the ultimate or steady-state shear strength of the soil.
Deformation during cyclic loading depends on the density of the soil, the magnitude and duration of the cyclic loading, and amount of shear stress reversal.
The resistance of the cohesionless soil to liquefaction will depend on the density of the soil, confining stresses, soil structure (fabric, age and cementation), the magnitude and duration of the cyclic loading, and the extent to which shear stress reversal occurs.
Such earthquake ground deformations can be categorized as primary deformation if located on or close to the ruptured fault, or distributed deformation if located at considerable distance from the ruptured fault.
The other common observation is land instability – cracking and movement of the ground down slope or towards unsupported margins of rivers, streams, or the coast.
The failure of ground in this manner is called 'lateral spreading', and may occur on very shallow slopes with angles only 1 or 2 degrees from the horizontal.
One positive aspect of soil liquefaction is the tendency for the effects of earthquake shaking to be significantly damped (reduced) for the remainder of the earthquake.
This is because liquids do not support a shear stress and so once the soil liquefies due to shaking, subsequent earthquake shaking (transferred through ground by shear waves) is not transferred to buildings at the ground surface.
Studies of liquefaction features left by prehistoric earthquakes, called paleoliquefaction or paleoseismology, can reveal information about earthquakes that occurred before records were kept or accurate measurements could be taken.
Buildings whose foundations bear directly on sand which liquefies will experience a sudden loss of support, which will result in drastic and irregular settlement of the building causing structural damage, including cracking of foundations and damage to the building structure, or leaving the structure unserviceable, even without structural damage.
Where a thin crust of non-liquefied soil exists between building foundation and liquefied soil, a 'punching shear' type foundation failure may occur.
The upward pressure applied by the movement of liquefied soil through the crust layer can crack weak foundation slabs and enter buildings through service ducts, and may allow water to damage building contents and electrical services.
Bridges and large buildings constructed on pile foundations may lose support from the adjacent soil and buckle, or come to rest at a tilt.
Sloping ground and ground next to rivers and lakes may slide on a liquefied soil layer (termed 'lateral spreading'), opening large cracks or fissures in the ground, and can cause significant damage to buildings, bridges, roads and services such as water, natural gas, sewerage, power and telecommunications installed in the affected ground.
Earth embankments such as flood levees and earth dams may lose stability or collapse if the material comprising the embankment or its foundation liquefies.
Over geological time, liquefaction of soil material due to earthquakes could provide a dense parent material in which the fragipan may develop through pedogenesis.
Mitigation methods have been devised by earthquake engineers and include various soil compaction techniques such as vibro compaction (compaction of the soil by depth vibrators), dynamic compaction, and vibro stone columns.
Existing buildings can be mitigated by injecting grout into the soil to stabilize the layer of soil that is subject to liquefaction.
When the water trapped in the batch of sand cannot escape, it creates liquefied soil that can no longer resist force.
In the case of flowing underground water, the force of the water flow opposes the force of gravity, causing the granules of sand to be more buoyant.
In both cases, the liquefied surface loses strength, causing buildings or other objects on that surface to sink or fall over.
The saturated sediment may appear quite solid until a change in pressure or a shock initiates the liquefaction, causing the sand to form a suspension with each grain surrounded by a thin film of water.
The clay retains a solid structure despite its high water content (up to 80% by volume), because surface tension holds water-coated flakes of clay together.
Quick clay is found only in northern countries such as Russia, Canada, Alaska in the U.S., Norway, Sweden and Finland, which were glaciated during the Pleistocene epoch.
Investigators suggested that a 60-mile-per-hour (100 km/h) submarine landslide or turbidity current of water-saturated sediments swept 400 miles (600 km) down the continental slope from the earthquake's epicenter, snapping the cables as it passed.
He served in World War I and commanded a company of the 10th Battalion at Battle of Vimy Ridge where he came out unscathed.
MacPherson Avenue in Regina, Saskatchewan was later named in his honour, and is an official memorial of the Canadian Department of National Defence.
MacPherson was first elected to the Saskatchewan legislative assembly in 1924, and remained a member of the Legislative Assembly until his defeat in the 1934 provincial election that wiped out the Conservative Party.
In 1938 and again in 1942, he was a candidate at the federal Conservative leadership conventions, coming in second place on both occasions.
One of his three sons, Murdoch Alexander MacPherson Jr. born in 1916, was a pillar of the local Progressive Conservative Party and of the non-concurring First Presbyterian congregation.
He served as a justice of the Saskatchewan Court of Queen's Bench from 1961 to 1981; during this time, he sat on the custody case of Colin Thatcher.
's second son, Ian, served in the Indian Army during the Second World War and after being promoted to the rank of acting Lieutenant-Colonel, was killed in action near Mawlu in Burma in April 1944.
The usual taxonomic practice is that the individuals classified within the form are not necessarily known to be closely related (they may not form a clade).
There are theoretically countless numbers of forms based on minor genetic differences, and only a few that have particular significance are likely to be named.
The roots of the company date back to 1923, when William Warder Norton founded the firm with his wife Mary Dows Herter Norton, and became its first president.
Storer D. Lunt took over in 1945 after Norton's death, and was succeeded by George Brockway (1957–1976), Donald S. Lamm (1976–1994), W. Drake McFeely (1994–2017), and Julia A. Reidhead (2017–present).

He was first elected to the House of Commons of Canada as the Conservative Member of Parliament for York East in the 1921 federal election.
Harris represented the ridings of York East, Toronto—Scarborough and Danforth as a Member of Parliament in Canada for over 21 years.
As a resident of East Toronto, Harris activities and interests were many, characteristic of his interest in his fellow man and the welfare of the community he served, Harris was a spark for the campaign for funds for the Toronto East General Hospital in East York.
In this capacity, he acted as chairman of the board of governors for over twenty years, during this period his leadership and guidance were a tower of strength to the board during the establishment of policy and direction of the hospital.
More recently, his work has been discussed by prominent figures in anglophone philosophy and sociology such as Alasdair MacIntyre, Robert Stern, Simon Critchley and Zygmunt Bauman.
Løgstrup studied theology at the University of Copenhagen between 1923–30, though his interests tended towards the philosophical aspects of the discipline.
He subsequently studied under a number of prominent teachers in Strasbourg (Jean Hering), Paris (Henri Bergson), Göttingen (Hans Lipps and Friedrich Gogarten), Freiburg im Breisgau (Martin Heidegger), Vienna (Moritz Schlick) and Tübingen.
Though Løgstrup was at Strasbourg when Emmanuel Levinas – to whom his work is often compared – was a student there, there is no evidence to suggest he and Levinas encountered one another.
The following year he took up a position as a parish priest in Funen and continued to work on his dissertation, a critique of idealist epistemology.
From the 1930s, Løgstrup was a member of Tidehverv, a strongly anti-pietist movement within the Danish Church which at the time espoused a dialectical theology heavily influenced by Kierkegaard.
However he drifted increasingly further from the group (and from its interpretation of Kierkegaard, particularly as espoused by ) and broke with the movement in the early 1950s.
Such principles and norms cannot simply be ignored, and they may make us act as we would have done had we realized the ethical demand; for that reason they are morally useful.
But ultimately they are only a substitute for genuinely realizing the ethical, not constitutive of doing so as mainstream moral philosophy assumes.
Trust, for Løgstrup, is conceptually prior to distrust: the basic attitude built into discourse is a trust in the sincerity of the interlocutor, and hence it is only gradually that we learn to distrust others.
He continued to insist that while virtues, character traits, and duties could usefully provide 'substitute' motives for moral action, these were always secondary: the ethical demand requires a spontaneous loving response to the other.
For Løgstrup, this increasing universalisation leads to a 'moralism' that abstracts from the concrete situation and the needs of the actual person.
These phenomena present themselves to us, according to Løgstrup, as intrinsically good, rather than as neutral phenomena we need to evaluate against an external standard.
They do not emanate from the agent, but from life itself, and demand submission rather than application (as with principles) or cultivation (as with virtues).
Born in Toronto, Ontario, son of Walter Edward Massey (and Susan Marie Denton Massey) and the grandson of the founder of the Massey agricultural manufacturing company, Hart Massey, he attended St. Andrew's College in Aurora, Ontario and the University of Toronto, where he became a member of The Kappa Alpha Society, before attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he received a degree in engineering in 1923.
He served in the House of Commons of Canada as a Conservative MP for the Toronto riding of Greenwood from 1935 to 1949 and was, in 1938, an unsuccessful candidate at the Conservative leadership convention.
He served at St. Paul's Anglican Church in Point Edward, Ontario from 1960 to 1963 and the Church of the Holy Saviour in Waterloo, Ontario from 1963 to 1970.
At night time, and in daytime in the warmer months, the street is filled with visitors, often including LGBT tourists from all over the world.
The northern end of the street meets Minshull Street and the southern meets Princess Street; part of the street looks across the Rochdale Canal into Sackville Gardens.
The area along the canal was perfect for gay men to meet clandestinely as it was dark and unvisited, but was near to good transport links such as Oxford Road and Piccadilly railway stations.
Anderton, when questioned about the policing of the Canal Street area, denied that he was motivated by anti-gay prejudice and was merely enforcing the law on sexual activity in public toilets.
The opening of Manto in 1990 was regarded as a catalyst for the development of many of the current style of bars and clubs in the Village.
It was created when Carol Ainscow, a gay property developer, alongside her business partner Peter Dalton, bought a garage repair building on Canal Street.
Despite this, she stated that for the first six months of business, Manto was continually losing money due to people's fear of being seen in there.
This included major support for the Mardi Gras, purchase of the Sackville Street Gardens in 1990, and becoming the first UK council to support civil partnerships.
The Village has been unified by issues regarding the gay community, such as Section 28 in the run-up to it becoming law in 1988 and the period thereafter.
Unlike the other gay bars at that time, Manto had large glass windows, allowing the casual passer-by to view what was going on inside.
Over the next decade, more numerous and larger bars opened along the canal side, turning Canal Street into the centre of the most successful gay village in Europe, including Via Fossa, Velvet, Eden and AXM.
A boycott was launched of a new Slug and Lettuce bar by the village community because of the chain's refusal to support Manchester Pride, eventually leading to its closure.
With clubs, pubs and restaurants, the village has also become the focus of many a night out for students, hen parties and friends on a weekend away.
Earlier in the year there was controversy over club door policies and there were fears that Canal Street’s role in the LGBT community was being diluted.
Manto was one of the most iconic bars in the area, having been a fixture on the street for 22 years.
This change in the types of clientele attending or moving in and out of the area in recent years is believed to have led to a number of homophobic attacks such as the one on Simon Brass, who was thrown into the canal and left to drown by a gang of muggers in June 2013.
It has been introduced into the Great Lakes of North America, reportedly with unfortunate results, as it is invasive and is reproducing faster than other species.
The ruffe's colors and markings are similar to those of the walleye, an olive-brown to golden-brown color on its back, paler on the sides with yellowish white undersides.
It also has two fins on top, the front fin has hard and sharp spines, the back fin has soft spines called rays.
The species occurs in the basins of the Caspian, Black, Aral, Baltic and North Sea, and is also found in Great Britain, parts of Scandinavia and some regions of the Arctic Ocean basin eastward to the drainage of the Kolyma.
It has been introduced to parts of Western Europe (France, northern Italy) and Greece, as well as to the North American Great Lakes.
In Eurasia, the ruffe diet mainly consists of zoobenthos: chironomids, small aquatic bugs and larvae, which are all found in the benthic zone of the water column.
As far as researchers have been able to learn, it has kept the same diet in its transfer to the Great Lakes.
A ruffe usually matures in two to three years, but a ruffe that lives in warmer waters has the ability to reproduce in the first year of life.
If the same female has a second batch in the same season, the eggs will be smaller than the first batch.
The size of the second batch of eggs is about 0.36 to 0.47 mm, while the first batch of eggs goes from 0.90 to 1.21 mm in size.
If the female lays twice in one season, there is usually one in late winter/early spring and one in late summer.
One week after the hatching, the young ruffe start to swim and feed actively, but they do not form schools at this age.
This fish's invasion of the lake has not only caused problems with space, but competing with other fish for food supply.
This fish is unique in its ability to adapt in many habitats and temperatures, resulting in success despite such factors as climate change or other biological changes.
These develop into more advanced and sensitive organs as the fish matures; of note, the perch's neuromasts weaken as it matures.
The ruffe is the first invasive species to have been classified as a nuisance by the Non-indigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Program.
Along with it being the most populous fish in the St. Louis river basin, it has disrupted ecosystems all across the Great Lakes.
They suggest that the fish was introduced to the lake via ballast water that was dumped into the Duluth, Minnesota, harbor by anchored freight ships.
Ever since the ruffe were detected, studies have shown that the ruffe and the yellow perch are closely related and are quickly becoming rivals.
The ruffe and perch are competing in numbers and are also competing for food; this is a match that the ruffe are winning.
Ever since the ruffe was introduced into the Great Lakes system, scientists and fishery managers have been searching for the right way to get rid of them.
In the beginning, the main method of control was to increase the Walleye and Northern Pike populations, because they are natural predators of the ruffe.
Ruffe became the principal food item for the three main fish predators found in the area, the great cormorant, grey heron and northern pike.
Hampden regularly hosts the latter stages of the Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup competitions and has also been used for music concerts and other sporting events, such as when it was reconfigured as an athletics stadium for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
The record attendance of 149,415, for a Scotland v England match in 1937, is the European record for an international football match.
Hampden has hosted prestigious sporting events, including three European Cup / Champions League finals, two Cup Winners' Cup finals and a UEFA Cup final.
Hampden is a UEFA category four stadium and it is served by the nearby Mount Florida and King's Park railway stations.
The first Hampden Park was overlooked by a nearby terrace named after Englishman John Hampden, who fought for the roundheads in the English Civil War.
Queen's Park played at the first Hampden Park for 10 years beginning with a Scottish Cup tie on 25 October 1873.
The club moved to the second Hampden Park, 150 yards from the original, because the Cathcart District Railway planned a new line through the site of the ground's western terrace.
It became a regular home to the Scottish Cup Final, but Celtic Park shared some of the big matches including the Scotland v England fixture in 1894.
Construction of the new ground took over three years to complete; during construction, a disaster occurred at Ibrox in which part of the wooden terraces collapsed.
Third Lanark went out of business in 1967 and Cathkin Park is now a public park with much of the original terracing still evident.
Hampden Park was the biggest stadium in the world from its opening in 1903 until it was surpassed by the Maracanã in 1950.
Along with Celtic Park and Ibrox, the city of Glasgow possessed the three largest football stadia in the world at the time Hampden opened.
The first Scottish Cup Final played at the ground was an Old Firm match in 1904, attracting a record Scottish crowd of 64,672.
The first Scotland v England match at the ground was played in April 1906 with 102,741 people in attendance, which established Hampden as the primary home of the Scotland team.
After the second match there was a riot because there was confusion over what would happen next when the second match also ended in a draw.
The fans believed that the replay would be played to a conclusion and demanded that a period of extra time be played.
A fire in 1914 destroyed the pavilion, which was replaced by a four-storey structure with a press box on the roof.
The Scottish Cup Final returned to Hampden in 1920, when a large crowd of 95,000 saw Kilmarnock win the cup against Albion Rovers.
Record crowds attended the 1925 Scottish Cup Final, a 5–0 win for Celtic against Rangers, and the 1927 Scotland v England match, England's first win in the stadium.
Hampden became the sole venue of the Scottish Cup Final after 1925 except in the 1990s when it was being renovated.
In 1933, Austria, who had beaten Scotland 5–0 in Vienna in 1931, became the first foreign national side to visit Hampden Park.
Further ground improvements increased the official capacity of the ground to 183,388 in 1937, but the SFA were only allowed to issue 150,000 tickets for games.
The 1937 Scotland v England match had an official attendance of 149,415, but at least 20,000 more people entered the ground without tickets.
A week later the 1937 Scottish Cup Final between Celtic and Aberdeen drew an official crowd of 147,365, with 20,000 more people locked outside.
During the Second World War, matches at heavily attended grounds were initially prohibited due to the fear of aerial bombing by the Luftwaffe.
Scottish national league and cup competitions were suspended for the duration of the war, but regional league and cup competitions were established in their place.
Attendance was initially restricted to 50 percent of capacity; therefore, when 75,000 attended a wartime cup final in May 1940, it was the maximum permitted.
A government official presented an order demanding that both the Hampden and Lesser Hampden pitches be ploughed and used to plant vegetables, but the Queen's Park committee chose to ignore the order and the government did not pursue it.
During the post-war attendance boom, Hampden was the only stadium big enough to host the crowds who wanted to see the team.
The re-entry of the Home Nations into FIFA in 1947 was marked by a match between a Great Britain and a Rest of Europe select on 10 May 1947.
Unusually, a league match between Third Lanark and Hibernian was played immediately afterwards at Hampden because Cathkin Park was undergoing repair work.
The first FIFA World Cup qualification match played at Hampden was a 2–0 win for Scotland against Wales on 9 November 1949; this match was also part of the 1950 British Home Championship.
The win appeared to guarantee Scotland qualification for the 1950 FIFA World Cup because the top two finishers in the Championship were offered places in the tournament, but the SFA decreed that they would only send a team if they were British champions.
Four major clubs from each of Scotland and England were invited, with the Old Firm clubs playing their matches at Hampden.
The Scots put up a good fight against one of the most outstanding teams in the world at the time, but eventually lost 4–2.
Scotland qualified for the 1958 FIFA World Cup by defeating Spain, including Luis Suarez, Ladislao Kubala and Alfredo Di Stéfano, at Hampden.
The attendances for each of these finals was less than 50,000, and the SFA did not offer to host another European final until the 1976 European Cup Final, in which Bayern Munich defeated St Etienne.
St Etienne believed that two of their efforts which hit the square crossbar and rebounded into play would have resulted in goals if it had been round.
After Celtic won the 1967 European Cup Final, the home leg of their Intercontinental Cup tie against Racing Club was held at Hampden.
Celtic chose to move their home leg of the tie from their Celtic Park home to Hampden, which had a far greater capacity.
A crowd of 136,505, a record for any match in UEFA competition, saw Celtic win 2–1 (3–1 on aggregate) to advance to the 1970 European Cup Final.
A fire was deliberately started in the south stand in October 1968, destroying offices, 1,400 seats and one of the team dressing rooms.
A benefit match was played at Hampden, while the Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975 compelled stadium authorities to obtain licences from local officials, impose crowd segregation and restrict attendances.
Scotland played a friendly match against world champions Argentina in 1979; the talented, 18-year-old Diego Maradona scored a goal in a 3–1 win for the visitors.
As an amateur club, Queen's Park could not possibly fund the works, while Glasgow District Council withdrew funding and the UK Government decided not to fund it either.
The first phase of the redevelopment involved the demolition of the North Stand, the concreting of all terraces and the building of a block of turnstiles around the upper section of the East Terrace.
A second phase had been planned to begin in 1988, but the release of the Taylor Report caused the plans to be redrawn and the proposed costs escalated to £25 million.
After the cancellation of the annual Scotland v England fixture in 1989, questions were raised as to whether Scottish football required a separate national stadium.
The West Terrace was converted to seating in 1991 for only £700,000, but this left two terraces and therefore disqualified Hampden from hosting FIFA World Cup qualification matches.
The UK Government eventually provided a grant of £3.5 million in 1992, which allowed work to begin on a £12 million project to convert Hampden into an all-seater stadium.
Within a year, the east and north parts of the ground had been converted from terracing to seats, and the partially rebuilt Hampden was re-opened for a friendly match between Scotland and Netherlands on 23 March 1994.
As the capacity of the old South Stand had been limited to 4,500, the total capacity of Hampden had been reduced to approximately 37,000.
With Celtic Park also undergoing extensive redevelopment to become all-seater, Celtic spent the 1994–95 season groundsharing at Hampden, at a cost of £500,000 rent.
Real Madrid were again victorious when Hampden Park hosted the 2002 UEFA Champions League Final, defeating Bayer Leverkusen, with Zinedine Zidane scoring the winning goal with a left-foot volley.
Hampden has since hosted the 2007 UEFA Cup Final and was one of the venues for football at the 2012 Summer Olympics, hosting three matches in the men's tournament and five in the women's tournament.
One of the matches was delayed after the North Korean team protested against the flag of South Korea being used mistakenly to represent their players.
Later in 2012, a Scotland women's national football team game was played at Hampden for the first time, when it hosted the first leg of a European Championship qualifying playoff against Spain.
It hosted its last international game before the conversion work on 15 November 2013 and Queen's Park temporarily played their home games at the Excelsior Stadium in Airdrie.
Due to the works being carried out at the Olympic Stadium, the 2014 London Grand Prix was renamed the Glasgow Grand Prix and hosted by Hampden.
With their lease on Hampden due to expire after Euro 2020, the SFA canvassed opinion from its member clubs about where games should be played.
By February 2019 the negotiations had stalled, with one complication relating to Glasgow City Council which made a financial investment into the 1990s redevelopment of the stadium in exchange for continued input into its operation, but was not included in the new proposal.
The stadium's capacity exceeded 100,000 from the early 1900s until the 1980s and the Roar could be heard whenever Scotland scored an important goal.
Scotland, who had played the second half with ten players due to an injury to Alex Jackson, equalised in the final minute with a goal from Alec Cheyne direct from a corner kick.
The roar that followed the goal was so loud that Jackson, who was a mile away in the Glasgow Victoria Infirmary, could tell that Scotland had scored.
In April 2018, the stadium operating company commissioned a study into the noise levels produced at Hampden during an Old Firm match.
This found a peak noise level of 115 decibels, after goals were scored, and 109 decibels when the teams first came onto the field.
These findings were much higher than those recorded in a 2014 study of Premier League grounds (maximum of 84 decibels), but well short of the world record set by a National Football League match at the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City (142 decibels).
Hampden is an all-seated bowl stadium, although the ground is split into four geographic sections, officially known as the North, East, South and West Stands.
Due to the dominance of the Old Firm within Scottish football and their regular qualification for cup matches played at Hampden, the East and West stands are commonly known as the Celtic and Rangers ends.
The two end stands are up to 140 metres away from the pitch, due to Hampden retaining its bowl shape after it was redeveloped.
This distance is almost as great as if Hampden included an athletics track, although the distance between the pitch and the two side stands is more comparable to a normal football stadium.
The South Stand is the main stand of the stadium, as it holds the technical areas, dressing rooms, indoor warm-up area, executive boxes, lounges and media facilities.
The South Stand is also the only part of the stadium split into two tiers, although there is also a small gallery above the North Stand that has 290 seats and access to lounges.
The capacity was temporarily reduced to 44,000 for the 2014 Commonwealth Games, as the running track raised the field level by 1.9 metres.
A distinctive feature of the old Hampden, the press box which sat on the roof of the old South Stand, is also exhibited at the museum.
Queen's Park proposed in 1990 to sell off Lesser Hampden to fund redevelopment works on the main stadium, but this was rejected by planners.
The first was in 1906, when the Scottish Rugby Union chose to play their match against the touring South Africans at Hampden because no rugby ground could satisfy the demand to see the visitors.
Hampden hosted the Scottish Amateur Athletics Association championships during the 1920s and 1930s, with the original Meadowbank Stadium used as an alternative venue.
His last competition in Britain was the 1925 championship, when he won the 220 yards race for a record fifth time.
During the Second World War, American armed forces based in Scotland played games of softball, baseball and American football at Hampden.
American football returned to Hampden in 1998, when the NFL Europe team Scottish Claymores shared home games between Hampden and Murrayfield.
World Bowl XI was held at Hampden in 2003, but after the 2004 season the Claymores folded and were replaced by the Hamburg Sea Devils.
Poor crowds, escalating costs and the refusal of the city council to allow music to be played at events contributed to the team moving to Cliftonhill, in Coatbridge.
The fight ended in farce as the referee, who had been attempting to separate the two fighters, was also knocked down by Tyson.
After the fight, Tyson claimed that he wanted to eat the children of world champion Lennox Lewis, which also drew criticism.
Since the redevelopment of Hampden was completed in 1999, many acts have performed there, including The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, Rod Stewart, Bon Jovi, Eagles, U2, Oasis, George Michael, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Neil Diamond, Take That, AC/DC, Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay, Pink, Paul McCartney, Rihanna, The Stone Roses, and Beyoncé.
The damage caused to the Hampden pitch by a U2 concert in August 2009 forced a Queen's Park league match to be postponed.
The 50th anniversary Conventicle of the Boys' Brigade, which had been founded in Glasgow by William Alexander Smith, was staged at Hampden in 1933.
Gerry Cinnamon will perform at the stadium on July 18th 2020 to become the first Scottish act to headline the national stadium.
The highest attendance recorded at Hampden for a football match was 149,415, for the 1937 British Home Championship tie between Scotland and England.
The 1937 Scottish Cup Final between Celtic and Aberdeen drew an official crowd of 147,365, a world record for a club match, with 20,000 more people locked outside.
Hampden set world attendance records that year that were only surpassed by the Maracanã, and it still holds all the major European records.
The European Cup match between Celtic and Leeds United in 1970 was attended by 136,505, which is a UEFA competition record.
Hampden regularly has crowds of below 1,000 for Queen's Park matches in the lower divisions of the Scottish football league system.
There is a stadium car park immediately behind the south stand, but for major events this is only available to permit holders.
Lawson was twice a candidate for the leadership of the Ontario Conservative Party, despite never being a member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, and once as a candidate for the federal Tory leadership.
He moved on to federal politics and was elected to the House of Commons of Canada as a Conservative MP in a 1928 by-election representing York West.
He lost this position when the Conservatives were defeated in the fall 1935 election but he was elected to the House of Commons, this time representing York South.
In 1938, several months following his failed attempt to win the federal leadership, he placed second to George Drew at the Ontario party's provincial leadership convention.
He was the mover of the successful 1942 motion to change the name of the Conservative Party to the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada.
Charles Hazlitt Cahan, (October 31, 1861 – August 15, 1944) was a Canadian lawyer, newspaper editor, businessman, and provincial and federal politician.
He was the son of Charles Cahan Jr. and had three siblings: Frank D. Cahan (1863–1936), Jennie M. Cahan (1866–1918) and Loie S. Cahan (1871–1881).
He was called to the bar in Nova Scotia in 1893 and in Quebec Bar in 1907, designated KC in 1907 (Nova Scotia) and 1909 (Quebec).
He practised corporate law in Halifax as a partner at Harris, Henry & Cahan from 1893 to 1908, and in Montreal, Quebec, from 1908.
From 1890 to 1894, Cahan was a leader of the Liberal-Conservative Party in Nova Scotia Legislature and a member of the Nova Scotia Legislature for Shelbourne.
This gave Cahan flexibility and, rather than immediately pursuing a legal career, he worked first as a newspaper editor and then became a politician.
In 1901, Cahan managed the provincial campaign for his business associate, John Fitzwilliam Stairs who was the leader of the Nova Scotia Liberal-Conservative Union and a former Conservative house leader.
Cahan was first elected to the House of Commons in the 1925 election as a Conservative Party Member of Parliament in the riding of St. Lawrence—St.
In the end Bennett cast Stevens aside, rugged individualism seemed a pitiful response to the Depression, and the radical tone of Bennett's rendering of paternal conservatism was branded either as heresy or a cynical power grab...In the epilogue, after racing through Tory leaders since Bennett, he states that with the election of Brian Mulroney, 'the old struggle between reaction and reform had taken an interesting twist.
After having publicly lamented that the poor quality of the Supreme Court prevented the abrogation of appeals, in the late 1930s he attacked the Privy Council's interpretation of the BNA Act and demanded the end of appeals to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
Like many Canadian legal scholars, Cahan believed that the Privy Council had deliberately attempted to alter the true meaning of the Canadian Constitution.
Cahan introduced a bill, in 1939, to abolish appeals and, after the bill received considerable support in Parliament, the Minister of Justice, Ernest Lapointe, referred it to the Supreme Court, thus affording the Court an opportunity to adjudicate its own pre-eminence.
The Court found that it was within the Dominion government's authority to end appeals to the Privy Council unilaterally without the approval of the provinces.
The government postponed the implementation of the legislation until after the Second World War, and after an unsuccessful appeal to the Privy Council of the Supreme Court's decision.
In 1929, Cahan moved in the House of Commons that a special committee be formed to reconsider the 1919 Nickle Resolution, which had marked the earliest attempt to establish a Canadian government policy forbidding the British and, later, Canadian Sovereign from granting knighthoods, baronetcies, and peerages to Canadians, and set the precedent for later policies prohibiting Canadians from accepting or holding titles of honour from Commonwealth or foreign countries.
He noted that the Nickle Resolution favoured foreign sovereigns over Canada's own sovereign because, since 1919, some 646 foreign orders had been conferred upon persons living in Canada by foreign, non-British sovereigns.
He had come to the conclusion that domestic peace in Canada was largely dependent upon the happiness of the French Canadian people and clergy.
Unfortunately, for reasons unknown to him, he now found them in June 1931 'disposed to be anxious and sorrowful' and felt strongly that everything possible should be done to alleviate their discontent.
At a state dinner following the opening of Parliament in January 1934, Cardinal Villeneuve was ranked behind the apostolic delegate and the Archbishop Forbes of Ottawa, who had seniority as an archbishop.
As Secretary of State of Canada, Charles Cahan was a Canadian delegate to the League of Nations in 1932, at which he gave a speech on Canada's position with respect to the dispute between Japan and China.
This speech provoked a minor political incident due to what was taken to be Canada's implicit recognition of Japan's occupation of China.
Cahan was a guest speaker at the Empire Club of Canada in 1919 on the subject of propaganda, and in 1929 on the subject of constitutional issues.
In 1939, he was a guest speaker at the Canadian Club of Ottawa in 1939 on the subject of Pan-American relations.
In 1982, along with filmmakers Yoshiho Fukuoka, Itsumichi Isomura, Toshiyuki Mizutani and Akira Yoneda, Suo founded a production company called Unit 5.
won fourteen awards at the Japanese Academy Awards including Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Film and performed strongly in U.S. theaters.
Creme said that he was first contacted telepathically by his Master in January 1959, when Creme was asked to make tape recordings of his messages.
Creme first began to speak publicly of his mission on 30 May 1975, at the Friends Meeting House on Euston Road in London, England.
His central message announced the emergence of a group of enlightened spiritual teachers who could guide humanity forward into the new Aquarian Age of peace and brotherhood based on the principles of love and sharing.
Creme stated in these newspaper advertisements that the Second Coming of Christ would occur on Monday 21 June 1982 (the summer solstice in the Northern hemisphere).
More than 90 reporters attended and heard Creme announce that Maitreya was living within the Asian community in the Brick Lane area of London.
Creme presented the reporters with a challenge: if the media made a serious attempt to seek Maitreya in London, he would reveal himself to them.
After 1982, Creme made a number of additional predictions and announcements about the imminent appearance of Maitreya, based on his claims of receiving telepathic messages from a Master of Wisdom.
Creme said that in January 1986, Maitreya contacted media representatives at the highest level in Britain who agreed to make an announcement.
In 1997 Creme made similar announcements that there would be imminent global TV broadcasts from Christ/Maitreya, though with far less media interest.
Soon afterwards several people in the United States, working from Creme's predictions, concluded that the British-American economist and author Raj Patel was Maitreya.
Creme, who claimed that the time was now very near for Maitreya's emergence, apparently did not receive any money for his work or royalties from his 14 books, and for more than 30 years he gave lectures around the world by invitation only.
Sceptics ridiculed the story presented by Benjamin Creme and took issue with the possibility that his predictions might have come true.
These forecasts were purported to have included the Fall of the Berlin Wall, the ending of Communist rule in the Soviet Union, the release of Nelson Mandela and the ending of Apartheid in South Africa, the release of Terry Waite, the resignation of Margaret Thatcher, and many more.
He was educated in Lachute, Berthier and Montreal, and later moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba to become director of the Monarch Life Assurance Company.
He contested Lisgar in the 1896 federal election as a candidate of the federal Conservative Party, and lost to Liberal Robert Lorne Richardson by fifty-four votes.
Rogers was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba in the 1899 provincial election as a Conservative candidate, defeating Liberal candidate J.L.
He remained in this position for eleven years, and was often regarded as the second most powerful figure in Roblin's cabinet, helping the premier construct an effective patronage network.
The federal Conservative Party under Robert Borden defeated Wilfrid Laurier's governing Liberals in the 1911 federal election, due in part to assistance from Roblin's electoral machine in Manitoba.
Although Rogers was not a candidate in the election, he was appointed as Canada's Minister of the Interior and Superintendent-General of Indian Affairs on October 10, 1911.
On October 29, 1912, he left his other portfolios to become Canada's Minister of Public Works, a position which he held for five years.
He attempted to return to the House of Commons for Lisgar in the 1921 election, but lost to Progressive candidate John Livingstone Brown by 1,164 votes.
Rogers was returned to parliament in the 1925 election, defeating former Liberal premier Tobias Norris by 1,617 votes in Winnipeg South.
Rogers won election to the House of Commons for a third time in the 1930 election, defeating McDiarmid by 343 votes.
Originally named Ivanhoe in the 1900s by a resident from Scotland, it was built around what was then a city reservoir which gives the district its name.
Silver Lake is flanked on the northeast by Atwater Village and Elysian Valley, on the southeast by Echo Park, on the southwest by Westlake, on the west by East Hollywood and on the northwest by Los Feliz.
Street and other boundaries are: the Los Angeles River between Glendale Boulevard and Fletcher Drive and Riverside Drive on the northeast, the Glendale Freeway on the east, Effie Street, Coronado Street, Berkeley Avenue and Fletcher Drive on the southeast, the Hollywood Freeway on the south, Virgil Avenue on the west and Fountain Avenue and Hyperion Avenue on the northwest.
During the 1930s, Walt Disney built his first large studio in Silver Lake at the corner of Griffith Park Boulevard and Hyperion Avenue, currently the site of Gelson's Market.
In the 1970s, outsourcing brought to an end the group's prosperity, as they saw their jobs shipped overseas to Taiwan and China along with manufacturing.
Beginning in the 1970s, the neighborhood became the nexus of Los Angeles' gay leather subculture, the equivalent of the SoMA neighborhood in San Francisco.
In the 1930s Silver Lake and Echo Park still comprised Edendale, and acted as a space where members of the LGBT community were able to express their identities.
Prominent female impersonator Julian Eltinge built his house in Silver Lake and performed until the city passed laws criminalizing cross-dressing, after which he continued to recount his drag performances to audiences.
Silver Lake was also home to Harry Hay, credited with founding the first gay organization, the Mattachine Society, which began as Bachelors Anonymous.
The Black Cat Tavern, a fairly popular bar that has now become a historic-cultural monument, was the site of a brutal police raid in 1967 that spread to adjacent bars, becoming a full-blown riot and resulting in more than a dozen arrests.
Circus of Books was a bookstore and gay pornography shop that was notable as a gay cruising spot of the late 20th Century.
Several LGBT activists in Silver Lake claimed they felt unsafe reporting hate crimes against them to the police, whom they felt harbored anti-LGBT sentiments.
Their complaints grew to the point that then-City Council member Michael Woo advocated to establish a hotline to relay information to police indirectly and compile statistics on the frequency of gay-bashings.
Some bath houses, which acted as social spaces for gay men, were shut down by the city government in an effort to curb the spread of the virus.
The ensuing controversy reflected a nationwide debate about whether this type of action constituted public health policy or perpetuation of discrimination against the LGBT community.
The neighborhood was named for Water Board Commissioner Herman Silver, who was instrumental in the creation of the Silver Lake Reservoir in the neighborhood, one of the water storage reservoirs established in the early 1900s.
In the community of Silver Lake lies the namesake reservoir composed of two basins, with the lower named Silver Lake and the upper named Ivanhoe.
The reservoirs are owned and maintained by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP), and could provide water to 600,000 homes in downtown and South Los Angeles; however, only the smaller of the two, Ivanhoe, remains online.
The Silver Lake Reservoir's water resources will be replaced by the Headworks Reservoir, an underground reservoir north of Griffith Park, slated for completion by December 2017.
Also within the grounds of the reservoir are several popular recreational facilities: the Silver Lake Recreation Center, which includes an adjacent city park; the Silver Lake Walking Path, which circumnavigates the reservoirs (2.25 miles); and the Silver Lake Meadow, modeled after NYC's Central Park Sheep Meadow.
On the northeast corner of the property is the Neighborhood Nursery School, which since 1976 has been at the corner of Tesla Avenue and Silver Lake Boulevard.
As of 2019, Silver Lake is represented by Los Angeles City Council Members Mitch O'Farrell and David Ryu and the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council.
The Silver Lake Neighborhood Council (SLNC) was formed in the early 2000s and certified as part of the City of Los Angeles Neighborhood Council system in February 2003.
The Silver Lake Residents Association, the Silver Lake Improvement Association, the Silver Lake Reservoirs Conservancy, and the Silver Lake Chamber of Commerce are all active in the area.
The 2000 U.S. census counted 30,972 residents in the neighborhood—an average of 11,266 people per square mile, about the same population density as in the rest of the city but among the highest in the county.
The median age for residents was 35, about average for Los Angeles, but the percentages of residents aged 19 to 49 were among the county's highest.
Mexico (26.6%) and the Philippines (15.7%) were the most common places of birth for the 41% of the residents who were born abroad, about the same rate as the city at large.
The median yearly household income in 2008 dollars was $54,339, about the same as the rest of Los Angeles, but a high rate of households earned $20,000 or less per year.
36% of the neighborhood residents aged 25 and older had earned a four-year college degree by 2000, an average figure for the city.
It was home to two major yearly street festivals: the Silver Lake Jubilee, held in May and the Sunset Junction Street Fair, held in August.
The last Sunset Junction festival was held in 2010 and abruptly cancelled in 2011 just days before it was supposed to take place, after years of neighborhood controversy.
It moved out of the neighborhood to private grounds near the Los Angeles River and changed its name as of 2013.
Since the indie rock music scene is particularly prominent in this neighborhood, comparisons are often drawn between Silver Lake and New York City's Williamsburg district.
In addition to being the site of early Western films' star Tom Mix's studio on Glendale Boulevard, Silver Lake has been used as the film location for several films and television shows.
Born in Kingston, Ontario, the son of Philip Henry Drayton, who came to Canada with the 16th Rifles of England, and Margaret S. Covernton, Drayton was educated in the schools of England and Canada.
He was first elected to the House of Commons of Canada from Kingston in a 1919 by-election as a Conservative Party candidate.
He served as Minister of Finance under both Sir Robert Borden and Arthur Meighen until the Conservative Party's defeat in the 1921 general election.
He attempted to return to Parliament in the 1945 election from a seat in Victoria, British Columbia, but lost narrowly to the Liberal candidate.
Silver Lake is a town that existed near the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad, six miles north of Baker, in the Mojave Desert of San Bernardino County, California.
Robert Calvert wrote and sang the lyrics, this being Hawkwind's only studio recording with a Calvert vocal prior to his rejoining the band as a permanent frontman and vocalist in 1976.
At the time of the single's release, the IRA had instigated a bombing campaign in London and the BBC refused to play the single.
It had been reported at the time that Nik Turner's flat in Gloucester Road had been raided and searched by the bomb squad, but a 1998 interview with Turner suggests that this activity was more to do with visiting Hells Angels wanted in connection with manslaughter.
The band undertook an extensive UK tour in June and July 1973 to promote the single, a poorly recorded version from this time appearing on Bring Me the Head of Yuri Gagarin, but soon after Calvert stopped working with the band in an official capacity (largely due to the instability caused by his bi-polar disorder) and the song was dropped.
What You Will is a late Elizabethan comedy by John Marston, written in 1601 and probably performed by the Children of Paul's, one of the companies of boy actors popular in that period.
The play was entered into the Stationers' Register on 6 August 1607, and was published later that year in a quarto printed by George Eld for the bookseller Thomas Thorpe.
Inconsistencies in the names of the characters suggest that the play was revised between its stage premier in 1601 and its publication in 1607.
The play focuses on the relationship between two rival poets: the bitter, misanthropic satirist Lampatho Doria and the generous, lighthearted epicurean Quadratus.
The character Lampatho Doria is generally thought to represent Ben Jonson, Marston's opponent in the controversy, while Quadratus may stand in for Marston himself.
This town is known for three famed rabbis: Rabbi Yisrael Lipkin Salanter and his teacher Rabbi Zundel Salant, rabbi Shmuel Salant, who spent most of his life in Salantai.
During the summer 1941, 95 Jews of the city were massacred in a mass execution by Lithuanian nazis in the nearby forest.
Invar, also known generically as FeNi36 (64FeNi in the US), is a nickel–iron alloy notable for its uniquely low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE or α).
The discovery of the alloy was made in 1896 by Swiss physicist Charles Édouard Guillaume for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1920.
Like other nickel/iron compositions, Invar is a solid solution; that is, it is a single-phase alloy, consisting of around 36% nickel and 64% iron.
Common grades of Invar have a coefficient of thermal expansion (denoted α, and measured between 20 °C and 100 °C) of about 1.2 × 10 K (1.2 ppm/°C), while ordinary steels have values of around 11–15 ppm.
Invar is used where high dimensional stability is required, such as precision instruments, clocks, seismic creep gauges, television shadow-mask frames, valves in engines and large aerostructure molds.
At the time it was invented the pendulum clock was the world's most precise timekeeper, and the limit to timekeeping accuracy was due to thermal variations in length of clock pendulums.
The Riefler regulator clock developed in 1898 by Clemens Riefler, the first clock to use an invar pendulum, had an accuracy of 10 milliseconds per day, and served as the primary time standard in naval observatories and for national time services until the 1930s.
In land surveying, when first-order (high-precision) elevation leveling is to be performed, the level staff (leveling rod) used is made of Invar, instead of wood, fiberglass, or other metals.
In the manufacture of large composite material structures for aerospace carbon fibre layup molds, invar is used to facilitate the manufacture of parts to extremely tight tolerances.
All the iron-rich face-centered cubic Fe–Ni alloys show Invar anomalies in their measured thermal and magnetic properties that evolve continuously in intensity with varying alloy composition.
Scientists had once proposed that Invar's behavior was a direct consequence of a high-magnetic-moment to low-magnetic-moment transition occurring in the face centered cubic Fe–Ni series (and that gives rise to the mineral antitaenite); however, this theory was proven incorrect.
Instead, it appears that the low-moment/high-moment transition is preceded by a high-magnetic-moment frustrated ferromagnetic state in which the Fe–Fe magnetic exchange bonds have a large magneto-volume effect of the right sign and magnitude to create the observed thermal expansion anomaly.
He was the Member of Parliament for the riding of Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca in British Columbia, Canada from 1993 to 2011.
Originally a member of the Reform Party, and then the Canadian Alliance, he did not join the newly formed Conservative Party of Canada post-merger, and became a member of the Liberal Party from 2004 until 2011.
He was first elected in 1993 as a member of the Reform Party of Canada for the riding of Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca.
When the Reform Party was folded into the Canadian Alliance, he sought the party leadership, but finished fourth with 2% of the vote.
Despite his ideological differences, he did not join the dissidents who briefly left the party in 2001–02 to protest the leadership of Stockwell Day.
Martin led many initiatives in the House of Commons, including legislation to ban landmines (1995, 1996), establish an international mechanism to prevent deadly conflict (Responsibility to Protect) 2007, democratize Parliament, support early learning programs (Head Start) 2000, and modernize Canada's healthcare system.
Martin has been on diplomatic missions to areas in crisis, including Sudan, the Middle East, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone and the Sahal.
He led initiatives to provide emergency relief in times of crisis, e.g., the 2004 tsunami, famine in Niger, North Pakistan, Dem.
He has been an ardent campaigner against the trafficking of illegal wildlife products, and has strongly supported the integration of conservation into development initiatives.
<nowiki> On April 17, 2002, he caused a controversy as he attempted to remove the </nowiki>ceremonial mace from the table of the Clerk of the House to protest an intervention by the government that violated MP's fundamental democratic rights.
He was found to be in contempt and not allowed to retake his seat until he had apologized to the House from the Bar.
The reason for his actions was as a result of an amendment that would have removed the entire contents of Martin's Private Members' Bill C-344 which violated the spirit and meaning of Private Members Business.
In January 2004, after the Canadian Alliance merged with the centre-right Progressive Conservative Party to form the Conservative Party of Canada, Martin announced he would not join the new party.
He sat as an independent for the remainder of the 37th Parliament, but ran as a Liberal in the 2004 election.
He has taken leadership roles in many areas including: global health, domestic health, foreign affairs, conservation and the environment and human rights He was appointed in 2004 by Prime Minister Paul Martin to be a member of the Queen's Privy Council.
He has been an outspoken critic of the decline in democracy in parliament and the increasing disempowerment of Members of Parliament.
With over 169 academic institutions and a network of 30,000 scientists around the world, CUGH is the world's largest consortium of academic institutions and other related organizations.
November 2014, Martin made presentations on the nexus between environmental sustainability, conservation, and human health at the World Parks Congress in Sydney, Australia..
He has helped lead the last six CUGH global health conferences that attract over 1800 scientists and students from over 50 nations.
In 1991, bronze-plated steel replaced bronze in the 5 thebe, nickel-plated steel replaced cupro-nickel in the 10, 25 and 50 thebe and the 1 pula changed to a smaller, nickel-brass, equilateral-curve seven-sided coin.
Following the withdrawal of the 1 and 2 thebe in 1991 and 1998 respectively, smaller 5, 10, 25 and 50 thebe coins were introduced, with the 5 and 25 thebe coins being seven-sided and the 10 and 50 thebe coins remaining round.
A bimetallic 5 pula depicting a mopane caterpillar and a branch of the mopane tree it feeds on was introduced in 2000 composed of a cupronickel center in a ring made of aluminium-nickel-bronze.
On 23 August 1976, the Bank of Botswana introduced notes in denominations of 1, 2, 5, and 10 pula; a 20 pula note followed on 16 February 1978.
The 1 and 2 pula notes were replaced by coins in 1991 and 1994, whilst the first 50 and 100 pula notes were introduced on May 29, 1990 and August 23, 1993, respectively.
In response to the concern of the poor quality of the paper of the 10 pula banknote, the Bank of Botswana revealed a 10 pula banknote in polymer in November 2017 and was issued to the public on February 1, 2018.
Several currencies, including the South African rand and Botswana pula circulate in Zimbabwe, along with the Zimbabwean bond notes and bond coins.
He is the 39th and current president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India and President of the Editorial Board with Wisden India.
Before being elected as the President of BCCI, he was the President of Cricket Association of Bengal, governing body for cricket in West Bengal, India.
During his playing career, Ganguly established himself as one of the world's leading batsmen and also one of the most successful captain of the Indian national cricket team.
While batting, he was especially prolific through the off side, earning himself the nickname God of the Off Side for his elegant stroke play square of the wicket and through the covers.
After playing in different Indian domestic tournaments, such as the Ranji and Duleep trophies, Ganguly got his big-break while playing for India on their tour of England.
Ganguly's place in the team was assured after successful performances in series against Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Australia, winning the Man of the Match awards.
In the 1999 Cricket World Cup, he was involved in a partnership of 318 runs with Rahul Dravid, which remains the highest overall partnership score in the World Cup tournament history.
Due to the match-fixing scandals in 2000 by other players of the team, and for his poor health, Indian captain Sachin Tendulkar resigned his position, and Ganguly was made the captain of the Indian cricket team.
He was soon the subject of media criticism after an unsuccessful stint for county side Durham and for taking off his shirt in the final of the 2002 NatWest Series.
He is regarded as one of India's most successful captains in modern times, and one of the greatest ODI batsmen of all time.
Currently, he is the 8th highest run scorer in One Day Internationals (ODIs) and was the 3rd batsman in history to cross the 10,000 run landmark, after Sachin Tendulkar and Inzamam Ul Haq.
He continued to play for the Bengal team and was appointed the chairman of the Cricket Association of Bengal's Cricket Development Committee.
The Indian team was ranked eighth in the ICC rankings before he became the captain, and under his tenure the team rank went up to second.
An aggressive captain, Ganguly is credited with having nurtured the careers of many young players who played under him, and transforming the Indian team into an aggressive fighting unit.
Along with Harshavardhan Neotia, Sanjiv Goenka, and Utsav Parekh, Ganguly is also the co-owner of Atlético de Kolkata, a franchise of the Indian Super League, which won the inaugural season in 2014.
Ganguly is currently a part of the Supreme Court of India appointed Justice Mudgal Committee probe panel for the IPL Spot fixing and betting scandal's investigations.
However, academics came in-between his love for sports and Nirupa was not very supportive of Ganguly taking up cricket or any other sport as a career.
He supported Ganguly's dream to be a cricketer and asked their father to get Ganguly enrolled in a cricket coaching camp during his summer holidays.
They used to watch a number of old cricket match videos, especially the games played by David Gower, whom Ganguly admired.
After he scored a century against the Orissa Under–15 side, he was made captain of St Xavier's School's cricket team, where several of his teammates complained against what they perceived to be his arrogance.
While touring with a junior team, Ganguly refused his turn as the twelfth man, as he reportedly felt that the duties involved, which included organising equipment and drinks for the players, and delivering messages, were beneath his social status.
Ganguly purportedly refused to do such tasks as he considered it beneath his social status to assist his teammates in such a way.
However, his playmanship gave him a chance to make his first-class cricket debut for Bengal in 1989, the same year that his brother was dropped from the team.
Following a prolific Ranji season in 1990–91, Ganguly scored three runs in his One Day International (ODI) debut for India against the West Indies in 1992.
It was rumoured that Ganguly refused to carry drinks for his teammates, commenting that it was not his job to do so, later denied by him.
Following an innings of 171 in the 1995–96 Duleep Trophy, he was recalled to the National team for a tour of England in 1996, in the middle of intense media scrutiny.
However, after teammate Navjot Singh Sidhu left the touring, citing ill-treatment by then captain Mohammad Azharuddin, Ganguly made his Test debut against England in the Second Test of a three-match series at Lord's Cricket Ground alongside Rahul Dravid.
England had won the First Test of the three-match series; however, Ganguly scored a century, becoming only the third cricketer to achieve such a feat on debut at Lord's, after Harry Graham and John Hampshire.
Andrew Strauss and Matt Prior have since accomplished this feat, but Ganguly's 131 still remains the highest by any batsman on his debut at the ground.
In the next Test match at Trent Bridge he made 136, thus becoming only the third batsman to make a century in each of his first two innings (after Lawrence Rowe and Alvin Kallicharran).
He shared a 255 run stand with Sachin Tendulkar, which became at that time the highest partnership for India against any country for any wicket outside India.
Later that year, he won four consecutive man of the match awards, in the Sahara Cup with Pakistan; the second of these was won after he took five wickets for 16 runs off 10 overs, his best bowling in an ODI.
After a barren run in Test cricket his form returned at the end of the year with three centuries in four Tests, all against Sri Lanka, and two of these involved stands with Sachin Tendulkar of over 250.
During the third final of the Independence Cup at Dhaka in January 1998, India successfully chased down 315 off 48 overs, and Ganguly won the Man of the Match award.
In March 1998 he was part of the Indian team that defeated Australia; in Kolkata, he took three wickets having opened the bowling with his medium pace.
His partnership of 318 with Rahul Dravid is the highest overall score in a World Cup and is the second highest in all ODI cricket.
Ganguly struggled scoring 224 runs at 22.40; however his ODI form was impressive, with five centuries over the season taking him to the top of the PwC One Day Ratings for batsmen.
In 2000, after the match fixing scandal by some of the players of the team, Ganguly was named the captain of the Indian cricket team.
The decision was spurred due to Tendulkar stepping down from the position for his health, and Ganguly being the vice-captain at that time.
He began well as a captain, leading India to a series win over South Africa in the five-match one day series and led the Indian team to the finals of the 2000 ICC KnockOut Trophy.
In Australia's three Test and five-match ODI tour of India in early 2001, Ganguly caused controversy by arriving late for the toss on four occasions, something that agitated opposing captain Steve Waugh.
In the Fourth ODI, he caused further controversy by failing to wear his playing attire to the toss, something considered unusual in cricket circles.
Waugh chose to enforce the follow-on and V. V. S. Laxman (281) and Rahul Dravid (180) batted for the entire fourth day's play to set Australia a target of 384 on a dusty, spinning wicket.
During the final match of the 2002 NatWest Series held in Lords after a stunning performance by team mates Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif, Ganguly took off his shirt in public and brandished it in the air to celebrate India's winning of the match.
Ganguly said that he was only mimicking an act performed by the British all-rounder Andrew Flintoff during a tour of India.
By 2004, he had achieved significant success as captain and was deemed as India's most successful cricket captains by sections of the media.
However, his individual performance deteriorated during his captaincy reign, especially after the World Cup, the tour of Australia in 2003 and the Pakistan series in 2004.
It was speculated that Ganguly was in disagreement with the head of cricket in Nagpur over the type of pitch to be used for the Third Test.
When Australia's stand-in-captain, Adam Gilchrist, went to the toss, he noticed Rahul Dravid was waiting instead of Ganguly, leaving him to ask Dravid where Ganguly was.
Having been nominated and rejected in 2000, when the game suffered a tarnished reputation due to match fixing scandals, the captaincy was passed to Dravid, his former deputy.
Ganguly was awarded the Padma Shri in 2004, India's fourth highest civilian award, in recognition of his distinguished contribution in the field of sports.
He was presented with the award on 30 June 2004, by then President of India, Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam.
Ganguly had enlisted the support from the Indian media and eventually the board had to intervene and order a truce between the pair.
Ganguly, Chappell and the Indian team manager for the Zimbabwe tour, Amitabh Choudhary, were asked to appear before the BCCI committee, where it was reported that assurance of working together was given by them.
Consequently, due to his poor form and differences with the coach, Ganguly was dropped as the captain of the team, with Dravid taking his place.
Ten months later, during India's tour to South Africa, Ganguly was recalled after his middle order replacements Suresh Raina and Mohammad Kaif suffered poor form.
Following India's poor batting display in the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy and the ODI series in South Africa, in which they were whitewashed 4–0, Ganguly made his comeback to the Test team.
Coming in at 37/4, Ganguly scored 83 in a tour match against the rest of South Africa, modifying his original batting style and taking a middle-stump guard, resulting in India winning the match.
During his first Test innings since his comeback, against South Africa in Johannesburg his score of 51 helped India to victory, marking the first Test match win for the team in South Africa.
After his successful Test comeback he was recalled for the ODI team, as India played host to West Indies and Sri Lanka in back to back ODI tournaments.
After India were knocked out of the tournament in the group stage, there were reports of a rift between certain members of the Indian team and Chappell.
He scored 1106 Test runs at an average of 61.44 (with three centuries and four fifties) in 2007 to become the second highest run-scorer in Test matches of that year after Jacques Kallis.
He was also the fifth highest run-scorer in 2007 in ODIs, where he scored 1240 runs at an average of 44.28.
In February 2008, Ganguly joined as the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team, owned by Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, as part of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Ganguly opened the innings with Brendan McCullum and scored 10 runs while McCullum remained unbeaten, scoring 158 runs in 73 balls.
On 1 May, in a game between the Knight Riders and the Rajasthan Royals, Ganguly made his second T20 half century, scoring 51 runs off of 39 balls at a strike rate of 130.76.
On 7 July 2008, media reported that Ganguly was being projected as a candidate for the post of President of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) against his former mentor Jagmohan Dalmiya.
In the final test match he played at Nagpur against Australia he scored 85 and 0 in his first and second innings respectively.
In the Fourth and final Test, with India needing one wicket to secure a victory, the Indian captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, invited Ganguly to lead the side in the field for the final time.
In May 2009, Ganguly was removed from the captaincy of the KKR for the 2009 season of the IPL, and was replaced by McCullum.
The decision was questioned by media and other players of the team, when KKR finished at the bottom of the ranking table with three wins and ten losses.
The job of the committee is to receive a report from the selectors at the end of every cricket season, assess the accountability of the selectors and make necessary recommendations.
In the third season of the IPL, Ganguly was once again given the captaincy of KKR, after the team ended at the bottom in the second season.
In the fourth season of the IPL he was signed by the Pune Warriors India, after being unsold in initial bidding process and he made 50 runs of four matches and three innings.
On 29 October 2012, he announced that he has decided not to play in next year's IPL and to retire from the game.
However, early in his career he was not comfortable with the hook and pull, often giving his wicket away with mistiming such shots.
Due to excellent eye–hand coordination, he was noted for picking the length of the ball early, coming down the pitch and hitting the ball aerially over mid-on or midwicket, often for a six.
There were many instances where Ganguly's batting partner was run out due to Ganguly's calling for a run, and then sending him back while halfway down the pitch.
A situation like this happened in an ODI against Australia where he took a single when on 99, but he coasted and did not ground his bat.
According to Dubey, Ganguly and Wright, along with other members of the team like Tendulkar and Dravid, were the first to understand the importance of a foreign coach for the Indian cricket team and was convinced that the domestic coach has outlived its utility.
However he criticised Ganguly's ground fielding, especially his slowness in intercepting the ball to prevent runs and his tendency to get injured during catching the ball.
He led his team to victory on 21 occasions – seven times more than Mohammad Azharuddin with the second most wins—and led them for a record 49 matches—twice more than both Azharuddin and Sunil Gavaskar.
Statistics about Ganguly show that he was the seventh Indian cricketer to have played 100 Test matches, the 4th highest overall run scorer for India in Tests, and the fourth Indian to have played in more than 300 ODIs.
In terms of overall runs scored in ODIs, Ganguly is the second among Indians after Sachin Tendulkar (who has the most ODI runs) and the eighth overall.
Along with Tendulkar, Ganguly has formed the most successful opening pair in One Day Cricket, having amassed the highest number of century partnerships (26) for the first wicket.
Together, they have scored more than 7000 runs at an average of 48.98, and hold the world record for creating most number of 50-run partnership in the first wicket (44 fifties).
Ganguly became the fourth player to cross 11,000 ODI runs, and was the fastest player to do so in ODI cricket, after Tendulkar.
As of 2006, he is the only Indian captain to win a Test series in Pakistan (although two of the three Tests of that series was led by Rahul Dravid).
He is also one of the five players in the world to achieve amazing treble of 10,000 runs, 100 wickets and 100 catches in ODI cricket history, the others being Tendulkar, Kallis, Sanath Jayasuriya and Tillakaratne Dilshan.
Off the field, his interactions with the media, his fans, and detractors were uncompromisingly honest and earned him the respect of cricket followers everywhere.
Ganguly was condemned as a hot-tempered man who refused to listen to other's opinions and abided by his own rules and regulations.
Later he explained that being at the receiving end of an unfair decision against him, that threatened to ruin his international cricket career, it enabled him to understand the insecurities of other newcomers in the team better than his predecessors.
I don't particularly believe that Ganguly has an 'effing knowledge how to lead his team and tries to counter-pose it with instigating limitless, confrontational behaviours within the younger members of it.
To him 'good behaviour', a broad term espoused by the present team management, belonged in school and probably not even there.
She was repurposed as a destroyer tender after the J class was removed from service in the 1920s, tasked with supporting the two O class submarines during 1929 and 1930.
By the time she was completed, both submarines had been lost, and she was instead commissioned into the Royal Navy on 21 March 1917.
At the conclusion of the war, the ship was transferred to the Royal Australian Navy and was commissioned into the RAN on 25 March 1919.
The mutiny was in protest of the decreases in sailor pay and conditions: Depression-era cutbacks had impacted them harder than officers, as they had no avenues of protest.
The ship's commanding officer was sympathetic, promising that he would forward their concerns to the Australian Commonwealth Naval Board (which refused to consider them) and that they would not be punished.
She survived the Japanese attack on Darwin in February 1942 and remained at Darwin until January 1943 when she sailed to Cairns, Queensland where she again served as a base ship until May 1944.
Although the college is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education, it was placed on probation in August of 2018 because the college has experienced significant financial challenges.
The college was accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), the State of Vermont Department of Education, the Council of Applied Master's Programs in Psychology and the Board of Psychological Examiners of Vermont.
In August of 2018, NEASC placed the college on probation because the college has experienced significant financial challenges including spending nearly all of its endowment.
Four months later, NEASC told the college that it has until April 1 to convince the accreditor that the college is financially viable; if it is not convinced, NEASC will withdraw accreditation and require the college to stop teaching at the end of the 2019 spring semester.
The college offered more than 20 different degree programs in the arts & sciences, business, criminal justice, and psychology & human services.
In January 2018, the CSJ Traumatology Institute was established to provide advanced education, training, research and humanitarian aid, and is geared towards emergency responders, medical and mental health professionals, and others who work with trauma victims.
CSJTI has received full accreditation from the Green Cross Academy of Traumatology, and becomes the only program in the State of Vermont and surrounding area offering certification for this emerging field of study.
The main building was St. Joseph Hall, which houses the President's office, External Affairs, Admissions, Financial Aid, the Giorgetti Library, classrooms, faculty offices, computer labs, the Registrar's Office, and more.
The Athletic Center on campus had a 1,000-seat gymnasium, a weight and cardio room, a racquetball court, and a dance studio.
In 2008 the college purchased the Clementwood estate from the Sisters of St. Joseph, consisting of the Clementwood Mansion, Bucci Hall/the Carriage House, Avilia Hall and St. Francis Hall.
Clementwood Mansion, built in 1863 by Charles Clement as a private home and later used by the Sisters of St. Joseph as their novitiate, was remodeled over the course of two years, and in spring 2010, the president's office, academic dean's office, and development and alumni relations office moved into Clementwood.
The College of St. Joseph was, at the time of its closing, a United States Collegiate Athletic Association Division II school and plays within the Yankee Small College Conference, with programs in men's and women's basketball, men's and women's soccer, baseball and softball, women's volleyball, and men's golf.

Current acts include Dr. Dre himself, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Anderson Paak and Justus with former acts including 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, The Game, Raekwon, Eve, Rakim, Jon Connor and many others.
The label's acts over the years have earned RIAA certifications of platinum or higher on 20 of its 28 released albums.
Before the year's end, however, she abruptly left the label, claiming that Dr. Dre had been too slow to get the ball rolling on her project.
In the autumn of 1997, Aftermath released the only collaborative project by hip hop super-group The Firm (composed of AZ, Foxy Brown, Nas, and Nature).
Last Emperor had also been signed during this time, but was shelved due to creative differences with an A&R at Aftermath.
Upon recommendation from Interscope Records head, Jimmy Iovine, Aftermath signed Detroit rapper Eminem on Monday 9th March 1998, exactly one year after Biggie's death.
The album topped the Billboard albums chart, went on to be certified quadruple platinum, and arguably became the label's first successful album release.
Busta Rhymes was also signed and released one album before later being dropped from the label due to conflict with Interscope head, Iovine.
It was later reported that when he signed a deal with Universal Motown, the album would be released on his label, Flipmode Entertainment, through his Universal Motown deal.
While in late 2009, Detroit rapper Hayes was signed to a joint venture with Timbaland's Mosley Music Group but was later released from his contract.
Later he confirmed that he had returned to Aftermath Entertainment, however it was later confirmed he did not resign to the label.
On October 15, 2013, during the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards Flint, Michigan rapper Jon Connor announced his signing to Aftermath Entertainment.
On February 20, 2014, 50 Cent announced his departure from his Interscope record deal which included his deal with Aftermath Entertainment and Shady Records.
On May 14, 2014, it was revealed that trap producer trio Yogi signed to Aftermath as a producer and to Skrillex's OWSLA label as a recording artist.
In a September 2015 interview with Mr. Wavvy, singer Asia Bryant hinted that she was in talks to sign a deal with Aftermath.
The Battle of Wireless Ridge was an engagement of the Falklands War which took place on the night from 13 June to 14 June 1982, between British and Argentine forces during the advance towards the Argentine-occupied capital of the Falkland Islands, Port Stanley.
Wireless Ridge was one of seven strategic hills within five miles of Stanley at that had to be taken in order for the Island's capital to be approached.
The British force consisted of 2nd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment (2 Para), a troop of the Blues & Royals, with two FV101 Scorpion and two FV107 Scimitar light tanks, as well as artillery support from two batteries of 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery and naval gunfire support provided by 's 4.5-in gun.
The first Argentine unit to arrive in the sector was that commanded by José Rodolfo Banetta that took up residence inside the Moody Brook Barracks, but this unit had to evacuate the area on 11 June when British fire struck the building, killing three conscripts and wounding the Argentine major.
At first, the 7th Regiment on Wireless Ridge was relatively comfortable, shooting sheep and roasting them on old bed frames the soldiers had found nearby.
After heavy losses during the Battle of Goose Green, including their commander, Lieutenant Colonel 'H' Jones, command of 2 Para passed to Lieutenant-Colonel David Chaundler, who was in England at the time of the battle.
Chaundler flew to Ascension Island on a Vickers VC10 and then to the Falklands on a C-130 Hercules that was dropping supplies by parachute.
Chaundler jumped into the sea, where he was picked up by helicopter and eventually delivered to for a briefing with Admiral Sandy Woodward and then to Major General Jeremy Moore's headquarters.
After debriefing the battalion's officers about Goose Green and the events following, he vowed that the unit would never again go into action without fire support.
Three other hills were then slated to be captured: Mount Tumbledown by the Scots Guards, Mount William by the Gurkhas and Wireless Ridge by 2 Para.
On the morning of 13 June, it became clear that the attacks on Tumbledown had been successful, so 2 Para marched around the back of Mount Longdon to take up their positions for the assault on Wireless Ridge.
As the action was expected to be concluded quickly, they took only their weapons and as much ammunition as possible, leaving most other gear behind in the camp.
On Bluff Cove Peak, the Battalion's mortars and heavy machine guns were attacked by Argentine A-4 Skyhawks, which delayed their planned move forward, although they suffered no casualties.
In the closing hours of 13 June, D Company (Coy) began the attack sequence, advancing upon 'Rough Diamond' hill north-west of Mount Longdon.
In the softening-up bombardment, British artillery had fired 6,000 rounds with their 105 mm pieces, and as the British paratroopers began their push, they were further backed by naval fire and the 76 and 30 mm guns mounted on the light tanks.
The approximately 80 casualties sustained by 2 Para two weeks earlier at the Battle of Goose Green (including the loss of their commanding officer), had induced them not to take any unnecessary chances the second time around.
As Major Philip Neame's D Coy started to consolidate their position, the Argentine 7th Regiment launched a series of heavy recoilless rifle, rocket and mortar attacks on Mount Longdon, causing casualties to the 3rd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment (3 Para).
With this massive fire support, A and B Coys were convinced the enemy on the 'Apple Pie' feature had been defeated, and began to advance confidently, but they met fierce resistance when they left their trenches.
They came under heavy machine-gun fire; massive retaliation was initiated by the British machine-gunners and the guns of the Blues and Royals light tanks.
The Argentine defenders there eventually withdrew in the face of such withering fire and A and B Coys took their objective.
C Coy then moved down from their northern start line to advance to a position east of Wireless Ridge where they found a platoon position to be unoccupied.
The Special Air Service, along with men from the Special Boat Squadron, attempted to carry out a diversionary raid immediately north of Port Stanley on the night of 13-14 June.
The plan was, as 2 PARA attacked the northern half of Wireless Ridge, 30 SAS and SBS commandos aboard 4 rigid raiders, would speed across the Murrell River entrance and attack the oil storage facilities on Cortley Ridge.
However, the assault force was illuminated by a spotlight on the Argentine Almirante Irízar hospital ship (preparing to collect Major José Ricardo Spadaro's 601 National Gendarmerie Special Forces Squadron on Navy Pointfor a major insertion behind 2 PARA.
A massive amount of fire, including 30mm anti-aircraft guns arched down onto the SAS/SBS force from positions along the northern shore, causing the British raiders to withdraw.
D Coy then began the final assault from the western end of Wireless Ridge, under the cover of heavy fire from 's 4.5 inch gun, tanks, twelve 105 mm artillery pieces, several mortars and anti-tank rockets.
Earlier Argentine GHQ had sent the dismounted 10th Panhard AML squadron to make a reconnaissance foray into the western rocks of Wireless Ridge.
Captain Rodrigo Soloaga was particularly effective in persuading his men to engage the British light tanks, Milan Platoon and the Machinegun Platoon on 'Apple Pie' while the 7th Regiment's HQ sorted themselves out.
With Lieutenant José Luis Dobroevic's 81mm Mortar Platoon providing fire support, the company, in the form of the platoons of Sub-Lieutenant Carlos Javier Aristegui and 2nd Lieutenant Víctor Rodriguez-Pérez advanced to contact.
Private Patricio Pérez from Aristegui's platoon, recalled the unnerving experience of 66 mm rockets coming straight at them like undulating fireballs.
He believed he shot a British Paratrooper, possibly 12 Platoon's commander, and became enraged when he heard that his friend, Horacio Benítez from his platoon, had been shot.
The platoon of 2nd Lieutenant Rodriguez-Pérez delivered a frontal assault and in fact closed in with the British 12 Platoon, under the command of Lieutenant Jonathan Page (following the death of Lieutenant Barry at Goose Green).
Privates Esteban Tríes and José Cerezuela of Rodriguez-Pérez's platoon, volunteered to stay behind and rescue their wounded platoon sergeant, Manuel Villegas, laboriously carrying him to Port Stanley.
One of the Argentine Army staff officers that Private Savage talks about, the 10th Brigade Operations Officer (Lieutenant-Colonel Eugenio Dalton), during the pre-dawn darkness of 14 June, was seen driving around in a jeep marshalling tired, panicky and dazed soldiers from various units into a company and led them into Stanley's western sector under heavy fire.
Some 200 Wireless Ridge survivors had been rallied by Dalton to form, under heavy gunfire, a last-ditch defensive line in front of the now silenced guns of the 4th Airborne Artillery Group near the racecourse.
Near the church in Stanley, intent on helping Berazay, Major Carrizo-Salvadores, Second-in-command of the 7th Regiment, helped by the chaplain Father José Fernández, mustered about 50 Wireless Ridge survivors and led them on a bayonet charge, with the soldiers chanting their famous 'Malvinas March', but were stopped by heavy artillery and machine-gun fire.
2 PARA's mortar platoon also reported four mortarmen with broken ankles after having fired 'supercharge' rounds for extra range in order to repel the Argentine counterattack force that had attacked from Moody Brook.The Argentines suffered approximately 25 dead and about 125 wounded, about 50 were taken prisoner.
In the final stages of the battle, Brigadier-General Jofre had been offered the use of Skyhawks to bomb Wireless Ridge with napalm but declined in the belief that the British response would be commensurate.
Along with other key battles in the latter part of British activity under Operation Corporate, such as the Battle of Mount Tumbledown, the success at Wireless Ridge constituted one of the last major battles of the war before the subsequent surrender of Argentina.
Not wanting to replicate the heavy losses of Goose Green, the British had focussed a heavy artillery bombardment onto the opposing troops before undertaking the main assault, an action that would strongly affect the morale of the Argentine soldiers.
With the opposing forces in retreat, and the successful capture of several key positions, including Wireless Ridge and Mount Tumbledown, the British obtained permission to advance on Stanley, with 2 Para leading the first troops into the town since Argentinian forces had first occupied the territory at the beginning of the war in April 1982.
For the bravery shown at Wireless Ridge, 2 Para was awarded three Military Crosses, one Military Medal and one Distinguished Conduct Medal.
These are lists of Privy Counsellors of England, Great Britain and the United Kingdom from the reorganisation in 1679 of His Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council to the present day.
Members of the Privy Council of Ireland between 1660 and 1922 and of the Privy Council of Northern Ireland are also listed.
Precisionism was the first indigenous modern art movement in the United States and an early American contribution to the rise of Modernism.
Influenced by Cubism and Futurism, Precisionism took for its main themes industrialisation and the modernization of the American landscape, the structures of which were depicted in precise, sharply defined geometrical forms.
In the end, Precisionism was less about pure originality of expression and more about an energetic American use and amalgamation of certain European modernist techniques.
There is a degree of reverence for the industrial age in the movement, but social commentary was not fundamental to the style.
Like Pop Art, Precisionism has on occasion been interpreted as a criticism of the de-natured society it portrays, though its artists did not often feel comfortable with this reading of their work.
A painting of black and gray steel-mill smokestacks, thick piping, and crisscrossing wires, with only clouds of smoke to relieve the severity of the image, viewers have been tempted to see this dark painting as a statement of environmental concern.
Possible exceptions to this statement are some of the darker, more claustrophobic city paintings of Louis Lozowick and the comic anti-capitalist satires of Preston Dickinson.
Precisionist artists aimed to convey the geometric and psychological essence of a scene or a structure but intended that essence to be almost immediately accessible.
Most Precisionist imagery is urban: office towers, apartment houses, bridges, tunnels, subway platforms, streets, the skyline and grid of the modern city.
Other artists, however, such as Charles Demuth, Niles Spencer, Ralston Crawford, Sanford Ross, and Charles Sheeler, applied the same approach to more pastoral settings and painted starkly geometric renderings of barns, cottages, country roads, and farm houses.
George Ault, Ralston Crawford, Francis Criss, Stuart Davis, Charles Demuth, Preston Dickinson, Elsie Driggs, Louis Lozowick, Gerald Murphy, Charles Sheeler, Niles Spencer, Morton Schamberg and Joseph Stella, were among the most prominent Precisionists.
Dale Nichols, Millard Sheets, Virginia Berresford, Henry Billings, Peter Blume, Stefan Hirsch, Edmund Lewandowski, John Storrs, Miklos Suba, Sandor Bernath, Herman Trunk, Arnold Wiltz, Clarence Holbrook Carter, Edgar Corbridge and the photographers Paul Strand and Lewis Hine were other artists associated with Precisionism.
The movement had no major presence outside the United States, although it did influence Australian art where Jeffrey Smart adopted its principles.
Her husband, photographer and art dealer Alfred Stieglitz, was a highly regarded mentor for the group and was especially supportive of Paul Strand.
Kresy Wschodnie or simply Kresy (, Borderlands or Eastern Borderlands) was a term coined for the eastern part of the Second Polish Republic during the interwar period (1918–1939).
Historically situated in the eastern Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, following the 18th-century foreign partitions it was annexed by Russia (except for its southern part, including Lviv, which was taken by the Habsburg Monarchy) and ceded back to Poland in 1921 after the Peace of Riga.
The Pale was established after the Second Partition of Poland and lasted until the 1917 revolution, when the Russian Empire ceased to exist.
However, the population already consisted of various religious and ethnic minorities, which exceeded the number of ethnic Poles, for instance Jews in small towns called shtetls and Ukrainians in the region of Volhynia.
Today, all these regions are divided between Western Ukraine, Western Belarus, and south-eastern Lithuania, with the major cities of Lviv, Vilnius, and Grodno no longer in Poland.
In September 1939, after the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany simultaneously invaded Poland under the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, all the territories were forcibly incorporated into the Soviet republics of Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania, often by means of terror.
Soviet territorial annexations during World War II were later ratified by the Allies at the Tehran Conference, the Yalta Conference and at the Potsdam Conference.
When the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, the several parts of Kresy remained within the former Soviet republics as they gained their own independence.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the meaning of the term expanded to include the lands of the former eastern provinces of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, east of the line.
Currently, the term applies to all the eastern lands of the Second Polish Republic that are longer within the frontiers of modern Poland, together with lands further east, that had been integral to the Commonwealth before 1772, and where Polish communities continue to exist.
In 1018, King Bolesław I the Brave invaded Kievan Rus (see Boleslaw I's intervention in the Kievan succession crisis, 1018), capturing Kiev, and annexing Red Strongholds.
The year 1772 marked the first partition of the Commonwealth of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (see Partitions of Poland).
By 1795, the whole eastern half of the state had been annexed by the Russian Empire in concert with the Habsburgs and Prussia's Hohenzollerns.
Kresy and the superimposed Pale, in the former Polish and Lithuanian territories, had a Jewish population of over five million, and represented the largest community (40%) of the world Jewish population at that time.
Since many local educated inhabitants had actively participated in Polish national insurgencies (November Uprising, January Uprising), the Russian authorities resorted to intensified persecution, confiscations of property and land, penal deportation to Siberia, and the systematic attempt at Russification of Poles and their traditional culture and institutions.
It also comprised about 20% of the territory of European Russia and largely corresponded to historical lands of the former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, Cossack Hetmanate, and the Ottoman Empire (with Crimean Khanate).
The area included in the Pale, with its large Jewish, Uniate and Catholic populations, was acquired through a series of military conquests and diplomatic maneuvers, between 1654 and 1815.
While the religious nature of the edicts creating the Pale is clear: conversion to Russian Orthodoxy, the state religion, released individuals from the strictures - historians argue that the motivations for its creation and maintenance were primarily economic and nationalistic in nature.
The Russian Empire had abandoned Kresy to decline as a vast rural backwater after the original Polish landowners had been disposed of in the wake of insurrections and the Abolition of serfdom in Poland in 1864.
The devastation of country estates put a halt to large scale economic activity which had depended on agriculture, forestry, brewing and small scale industries.
Towards the end of the 19th century the decline was so acute that trade and food supplies became problematic and large scale emigration from towns and villages began as Jewish communities, in particular, began heading West, to Europe and the United States.
By the time of a newly resurgent Polish state, the provinces had been additionally disadvantaged by having the lowest literacy levels in the country, since education had not been compulsory during Russian rule.
The regions had suffered a legacy of decades of neglect and underinvestment so were generally less economically developed than the western parts of interwar Poland.
At that time, Poland had fought three wars to establish its eastern frontier: with Ukraine (see Polish–Ukrainian War), the Soviet Union (see Polish–Soviet War), and with Lithuania (see Polish–Lithuanian War).
In all three conflicts Poland emerged victorious, and as a result, it recovered territories that had been previously annexed under Russian conquest and were east of the Curzon line, plus land formerly absorbed into Austrian Eastern Galicia.
Territories that were included in Kresy during the interbellum period comprised the eastern part of Lwów Voivodeship, Nowogródek Voivodeship, Polesie Voivodeship, Stanisławów Voivodeship, Tarnopol Voivodeship, Wilno Voivodeship, Wołyń Voivodeship, and the eastern part of Białystok Voivideship.
Numerous Polish communities continued to live beyond the eastern border of the Second Polish Republic, especially around Minsk, Zhytomir and Berdychev.
In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Soviet authorities created two Polish Autonomous Districts in Belarus and Ukraine, but during the Polish operation of the NKVD, most of the Poles in those areas were murdered, while those remaining were forcibly resettled in Kazakhstan (see also Poles in the former Soviet Union).
The new border between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union was re-designated by the German–Soviet Frontier Treaty, signed on September 29, 1939.
After the elections to the People's Assemblies of Western Ukraine and Western Belarus, communist governments for Western Ukraine and Western Belarus were formed and immediately announced their intention of joining their respective republics to the Soviet Union (see also Territories of Poland annexed by the Soviet Union).
In January 1944, Soviet troops had reached the former Polish–Soviet border, and by the end of July 1944 they again re-annexed the whole territory that had been taken by the USSR in September 1939 into their control.
During the Tehran Conference in 1943, a new Soviet-Polish border was established, in effect sanctioning most of the Soviet territorial acquisitions of September 1939 (except for some areas around Białystok and Przemyśl), ignoring protests from the Polish government-in-exile in London.
They were relatively closer to the new eastern border of Poland, which could become significant in case of a sudden hoped for return to the East.
Lower Biała was settled by people who used to live in a Bieszczady village of Polana near Ustrzyki Dolne (this area belonged to the Soviet Union until 1951: see 1951 Polish–Soviet territorial exchange), while inhabitants of the village Pyszkowce near Buczacz moved to Upper Biała.
In 1948, people born in the Eastern Borderlands made up 47.5% of the population of Opole, 44.7% of Baborów, 47.5% of Wołczyn, 42.1% of Głubczyce, 40.1% of Lewin Brzeski, and 32.6% of Brzeg.
The town of Jasień was settled by people from the area of Ternopil in late 1945 and early 1946, while Poles from Borschiv moved to Trzcińsko-Zdrój and Chojna.
They travelled in freight or open wagons, and the journeys were long and dangerous, as there was no protection from the military or the police.
In the immediate postwar period, Polish Communists, who ceded the Eastern Borderlands to the Soviet Union, were universally regarded as traitors, and Władysław Gomułka, First Secretary of the Polish Workers' Party, was fully aware of it.
People who moved from the East to the Recovered Territories talked amongst themselves about their return to Lwów and other eastern locations, and the German return to Silesia, as a result of World War III, in which Western Allies would defeat the Soviets.
Eastern settlers did not feel at home in Lower Silesia, and as a result, they did not care about the machinery, households and farms abandoned by Germans.
Lubomierz in 1945 was in good condition, but in the following years, Polish settlers from the area of Czortków in Podolia let it run down and become a ruin.
Zdzisław Mach, a sociologist from the Jagiellonian University, explains that when Poles were forced to resettle in the West, which they resented, they had to leave the land they considered sacred and move to areas inhabited by the enemy.
In addition, Communist authorities did not initially invest in the Recovered Territories because, like the settlers, for a long time they were unsure about the future of these lands.
According to official Polish statistics from interwar period, Poles formed the largest linguistic group in these regions, and were demographically the largest ethnic group in the cities.
Other national minorities included Lithuanians and Karaites (in the north), Jews (scattered in cities and towns across the area), Czechs and Germans (in Wołyń and East Galicia), Armenians and Hungarians (in Lwów) and also Russians and Tartars.
In addition to ethnic Poles in former eastern Poland, there were also large Polish communities in the USSR and in the Baltic states.
The mother of Bogdan Zdrojewski, Minister of Culture and National Heritage is from Boryslav, and the father of former First Lady Jolanta Kwaśniewska was born in Wołyń, where his sister was murdered in 1943 by the Ukrainian nationalists.
The trilogy tells the story of two quarreling families, who after the end of the Second World War were resettled from current Western Ukraine to Lower Silesia, after Poland was shifted westwards.
The July 2012 issue of the Uważam Rze Historia magazine was dedicated to the Eastern Borderlands and their importance in Polish history and culture.
Many Polish organizations are active in the former Eastern Borderlands, such as the Association of Poles in Ukraine, Association of Polish Culture of the Lviv Land, there Federation of Polish Organizations in Ukraine, Union of Poles in Belarus, and the Association of Poles in Lithuania.
There are Polish sports clubs (Pogoń Lwów, FK Polonia Vilnius), newspapers (Gazeta Lwowska, Kurier Wileński), radio stations (in Lviv and Vilnius), many theatres, schools, choirs and folk ensembles.
For example, in Nysa, money is collected to renovate the Roman Catholic church in Lopatyn near Lviv, while residents of Oława collect funds to renovate the church in Sasiv, also in the area of Lviv.
Also, physicians from Kraków's organization Doctors of Hope regularly visit Eastern Borderlands, and Polish Ministry of Education runs a special program, which sends Polish teachers to former Soviet Union.
In Vilnius, there is the Wróblewski Library, with 160,000 volumes and 30,000 manuscripts, which now belong to the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences.
Adolf Juzwenko, current president of Wrocław's office of the Ossolineum, says that in 1945, there was a mass public campaign in Poland, aimed at transporting the whole Ossolineum to Wrocław.
It succeeded in recovering only 200,000 volumes, as the Soviets decided that the bulk of the library had to remain in Lviv.
Even though Poland lost its Eastern Borderlands in the aftermath of World War II, Poles connected with the Kresy still keep a flame burning for those lands.
Polish academics from Lwów established the Polish University of Wrocław (taking over from the old German University of Breslau) and Silesian University of Technology.
In Lubaczów is a Museum of Kresy, and there is a project, supported by local government, to create a Museum of Eastern Borderlands in Wrocław, the city where a number of Poles from Kresy settled after World War II.
In January, February and March 2012, Centre for Public Opinion Research did a survey, asking Poles about their ties to Kresy.
It turned out that almost 15% of the population of Poland (4,3 - 4,6 million people) declared that they either were born in the Kresy, or have a parent or a grandparent from that region.
To Polish speakers in Poland, Kresy dialects are easy to distinguish, as their pronunciation and intonation are markedly different from standard Polish.
Before World War II, the Kresy provinces were part of Poland, and both dialects were in common usage, spoken by millions of ethnic Poles.
After the war and Soviet annexation of Kresy, however, the majority of ethnic Poles were deported westward, resulting in a severe decline in the number of native speakers.
The northern Kresy dialect is still used along the Lithuanian-Belarusian border, where Poles still live in large numbers, but the southern Kresy dialect is endangered, as Poles in western Ukraine do not form a majority of the population in any district.
Particularly notable among the Kresy dialects is the Lwów dialect which emerged early in the 19th century and was spoken in the city gaining much recognition in the 1920s and 1930s, partly due to the countrywide popularity of numerous Kresy-born and trained actors and comedians whose native speech it was (see also: Dialects of the Polish language).
It was mainly used to provision, protect and repair the various merchant marine convoys to Quebec, Halifax, and the United Kingdom.
It was a main combat zone during the Battle of the St. Lawrence and the more general Battle of the Atlantic.
During the 1950s, the base was renovated and it became Sydney's second largest employer, after the Dominion Steel and Coal Company's steel plant, with about 650 personnel stationed there.
The Progressive Conservative Diefenbaker government tried to close it in 1958, but it was deemed useful by NATO allies during the early stages of the Cold War.
In 1965, following the base's closure, the Canadian Coast Guard College was located in some of the unused navy facilities, and used the base's jetties.
The college continued to use these facilities throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, until a custom-built campus opened on an adjacent property in Edwardsville in 1981.
Goddard College is a private low-residency college with three locations in the United States: Plainfield, Vermont; Port Townsend, Washington; and Seattle, Washington.
With predecessor institutions dating to 1863, Goddard College was founded in 1938 as an experimental and non-traditional educational institution based on the ideas of John Dewey: that experience and education are intricately linked.
First developed for Goddard's MFA in Creative Writing Program, Goddard College operated a mix of residential, low-residency, and distance-learning programs starting in 1963 before switching to a system of 100% low-residency programs with the closure of its Residential Undergraduate Program in 2002.
In most programs, each student designs their own curriculum and the college uses a student self-directed, mentored system in which faculty issue narrative evaluations of students' progress as they fulfill their program's degree criteria.
Goddard offers a Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), Master of Arts (MA), Master of Fine Arts (MFA), along with several concentrations and Licensures.
But the opening of many good public high schools in the 20th century made many of the New England academies obsolete.
In 1936, under his leadership, the Seminary concluded that in order for Goddard to survive, an entirely new institution would need to be created.
Pitkin was supported by Stanley C. Wilson, ex-governor of Vermont and chairman of the Goddard Seminary Board of Trustees; Senators George Aiken and Ralph Flanders and Dorothy Canfield Fisher.
Pitkin was able to persuade the Board of Trustees to embrace a new style of education, one that substituted individual attention, democracy, and informality for the traditionally austere and autocratic educational model.
For its first 21 years of operation, Goddard was unaccredited and small, but built a reputation as one of the most innovative colleges in the country.
Especially noteworthy were Goddard's use of discussion as the basic method in classroom teaching; its emphasis on the whole lives of students in determining personal curricula; its incorporation of practical work into the life of every student; and its development of the college as a self-governing learning community in which everyone had a voice.
There was a great need for a program for adults who had not completed college, to obtain degrees without disrupting their family lives or careers.
These programs included the Goddard Experimental Program for Further Education, Design Build Program, Goddard Cambridge Program for Social Change, Third World Studies Program, Institute for Social Ecology, Single Parent Program and many others.
Having narrative transcripts instead of traditional letter grades, as well as learner-designed curricula, Goddard was one of the founding members of the Union for Experimenting Colleges and Universities, which also included Franconia, Nasson, Antioch, and others.
The campus in Plainfield was founded in 1938 on the grounds of a late 19th-century model farm: The Greatwood Farm & Estate consists of shingle style buildings and gardens designed by Arthur Shurcliff.
The Village of Learning, consisting of eleven dormitory buildings, was constructed adjacent to the ensemble of renovated farm buildings in 1963 to accommodate an increasing student population.
On March 7, 1996 the Greatwood campus was recognized for its historic and architectural significance with its inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.
A US Army post from 1902 to 1953, much of the fort has been renovated and turned into a year-round, multi-use facility dedicated to lifelong learning which houses several organizations that comprise Fort Worden State Park.
The MA in Education program, originally held in the Plainfield-based low-residency program, expanded into Columbia City, one of Seattle's most ethnically and racially diverse neighborhoods, in 2011.
Students can focus on such areas as intercultural studies, dual language, early childhood, cultural arts, and community education, and then create their plan of studies for each semester.
The program is also different in that it is designed to serve students who cannot leave their families and communities for the residency.
In addition to fulfilling academic criteria in the subjects of the arts, the humanities, mathematics, natural sciences and social sciences, undergraduate students must also demonstrate critical thinking and writing, understanding of social and ecological contexts, positive self-development and thoughtful action within their learning processes.
The intensive low-residency model requires that students come to campus every six months for approximately eight days when students engage in a variety of activities and lectures from early morning until late in the evening and create detailed study plans.
When low-residency education began at Goddard, packets were actual packets of paper sent via the mail, but with the advancement of the internet, most packets are sent electronically and may contain artwork, audio files, photography, video and web pages in addition to writing.
The schedule and format of these packets differ from program to program, and content varies with each student-faculty correspondence, but almost always focuses on research, writing, and reflection related to each student's individualized study plan.
The Eliot D. Pratt Center and Library, located in Plainfield, Vermont serves the entire Goddard College community, and is open to the public.
The building also houses several administrative offices, an Archives room with artifacts from the 1800s to present, an Art Gallery, and WGDR (91.1 FM), a college/community radio station serving Central Vermont since 1973.
Goddard is home to Goddard College Community Radio, a community-based, non-commercial, listener-supported educational radio station with nearly 70 volunteer programmers who live and work in central and northern Vermont and who range in age from 12 to 78 years.
Goddard College Community Radio is the largest non-commercial community radio station in Vermont and is the only non-commercial station in the state other than the statewide Vermont Public Radio network that receives funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
The Haybarn Theatre was built in 1868 by the Martin Family and was one of the largest barns in Central Vermont.
In 1938 when Goddard College purchased Greatwood Farm they began the process of turning the farm buildings into academic and student spaces.
For almost 75 years the Haybarn Theatre has been a place where the local community and the College come together to enjoy and appreciate the arts.
This long tradition continues to this day as the Haybarn hosts educational conferences, student and community performances and the ongoing Goddard College Concert Series.
In June 1970 Goddard hosted the Alternative Media Conference which attached more than 1,600 radio DJs and others involved in independent media from all over the United States.
In 2014, the graduating class of the college's undergraduate program selected convicted murderer and Goddard alumnus Mumia Abu-Jamal as commencement speaker.
Abu-Jamal, who had attended Goddard as an undergraduate in the 1970s, completed his Goddard degree from prison via mail while serving his sentence for the 1982 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.
The decision to invite Abu-Jamal to speak was criticized by Faulkner's widow, US Senator Pat Toomey, the Vermont Troopers Association, the Vermont Police Chiefs Association, the Fraternal Order of Police, and the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections.
Initially operating on the North America and West Indies Station, the cruiser was transferred to the Australian Squadron in 1903, and remained there until the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) took over responsibility in 1913.
At the recommendation of the Australian government, the ship was commissioned into the RAN in 1915, and assigned to patrol the coast of Burma, in response to the threat of a German-instigated uprising.
The ship was sold for use as a timber lighter in 1922, and sank in 1940 at Salamander Bay, New South Wales following a storm.
She had a displacement of 2,135 tons, was long overall and long between perpendiculars, had a beam of , and a draught of .
The cruiser was armed with eight single QF guns, eight single QF 3-pounder guns, two 4.7-inch guns, two field guns, three Maxim machine guns, and two torpedo tubes sited above the waterline.
She was at Bermuda in March 1902, visited Colón, Panama in early May, and Havana in late May 1902; and was in Nicaragua in July 1902, when the government captured revolutionists from an attempted coup.
The following month she left Bermuda homeward bound, returning to Devonport on 20 August, to pay off on 5 September when she was placed in the D division of the dockyard reserve.
In December 1903, she was transferred to the Royal Navy's Australian Squadron, where she served until October 1913, when the Australia Station was handed to the control of the fledgling RAN.
Command of the Burma Coast Patrol was passed to Captain George Hutter of on 20 September, with Feakes appointed as Senior Naval Officer Burma and overall commander of the three British India vessels and ten coastal launches.
On 17 January 1916, the demobilisation of the Burma Coast Patrol was ordered, as the threat of insurrection in India and Burma had ceased, and German machinations had focused on the Malay Peninsula.
On 12 February, seven stokers refused duty in protest over the poor quality of food being provided to the sailors aboard.
All seven were found guilty of disobeying orders, and were punished with prison sentences between 12 and 14 months, plus dismissal from the RAN.
Also during July, sickness ran through the ship, with 67 personnel sent to the naval hospital ashore, while another 41 were treated aboard: about 60% of the ship's company were unfit for duty during this period.
Recurring illnesses had been a problem while the ship operated in tropical climates, and the ship's surgeon recommended the ship be deployed to cooler regions.
These continued until 14 October, when the cruiser was assigned to Singapore for further patrols of the Bay of Bengal and Sumatra.
The wreck was used by RAN clearance divers for training between 1950 and 1973, and was later broken up during an underwater demolitions exercise.
Although the weapon was a technical success, it never entered full production due to the political changes of German reunification and lack of procurement contract.
During 1968–1969, the government of what was then West Germany started a feasibility study into a future assault rifle and three contracts were awarded respectively to Diehl, IWKA Mauser and Heckler & Koch (based in Oberndorf).
The designers were given a free hand as to the methods used, but Heckler & Koch realized that the only way to obtain any significant improvement was to radically change the approach.
From the very beginning, it was obvious the required hit probability could not be achieved with common iron sights, hence, it was given equal importance.
The Hensoldt AG, having delivered 100,000 optical sights for the G3, cooperated with H&K on developing a small sight with low power magnification which would allow target acquisition with both eyes.
As the weapon was to be short only 37 cm would have been left for a sightline, too short for a common iron sight, hence, it was out of the question.
It was based on an old and nearly forgotten patent, and a modernized model had to be built by a master from the assembly department.
By 1970, studies progressed far enough to allow the construction of an automatic single- and 3-shot burst model but without full-automatic operation.
At the end of September/beginning October 1971, the weapon was fully completed with full automatic fire and chambered for 4.9 mm and fed from the side.
In January 1973, the defence ministries of West Germany and Great Britain agreed on exchanging information on development of infantry weaponry and ammunition.
West Germany was to work on caseless ammunition while Great Britain would work on optimizing a firearm for 4.85x45 mm ammunition.
Meanwhile, the German defence ministry targeted unveiling of the weapon to NATO in 1975 and field test of the first weapon to begin in 1976.
In the summer of 1973, the ministry took on stock to see that none of the competitors could present a war ready weapon.
Together with the Federal Office of Defense Technology and Procurement (FODTP)(Bundesamt für Wehrtechnik und Beschaffung) it was decided to select H&K's rotating breech for further study and development.
In early November 1973, at a NATO workshop conference in Brussels West Germany was appointed to develop the 2nd generation (rifleman) rifle.
NATO wide testing would commence in 1977 with the goal of having a 2nd smaller caliber weapon alongside the 7.62×51mm NATO round rifle.
The contrast requirements in adverse condition and added features like variable brightness, distance settings drove cost up exceeding that of a proper scope of similar size.
After the contract with the FODTP ended H&K, Dynamit Nobel and Hensoldt were forced to continue development on their own with their private funds.
In 1978, Mauser competed with their own weapon chambered for caliber 4.7 mm in a conventional case design but ultimately lost to the H&K G11.
On 28 October 1980, NATO approved the standardization (STANAG 4172) of 5.56×45mm NATO as second small caliber cartridge for use within the alliance.
The final development of the ammunition was completed toward the end of 1988 with the same dimensions as 4 years earlier.
At the same time the Cabinet of Germany (Bundesregierung) confirmed questions by the Bundestag about the signing of a contract in early 1990 for the adoption of the G11 and that it is part the budget (Haushalt 1990 EPL 14).
In April 1990, the ACR program ended with the decision not to adopt any of the ACR rifles as none met the requirement of doubling hit probability.
In November 1990, the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) was signed which puts limits on the numbers of conventional military equipment in Europe and mandates the destruction of excess weaponry.
In January 1992, the Federal Audit Office (Bundesrechnungshof) recommended not to procure the G11 just yet and Defence Minister Gerhard Stoltenberg struck the G11 from the procurement list.
The development of the G11 from 1974 to 1989 had cost the tax payer 84.1 million DM, while leaving H&K with a debt of 180 million DM.
H&K was permitted by the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (Bundesamt für Wirtschaft und Ausfuhrkontrolle) to export the rifle to 80 countries, and give licenses to 15 countries.
In May 2007, the caseless ammunition was scaled and adapted to the 5.56 mm projectile in a telescoped and round form.
The ammunition has also been designated as 4.92mm because for the HK G11 ACR, a variant developed for US Military trials, the US convention of groove to groove measurements of the bore was employed, rather than land-land.
The projectile is 4.93 mm in diameter with a case length of 33 mm, the US case length measurement is 34 mm since for the ACR trials the chamber length, not the actual case length was used.
However, the 4.73mm is much less likely to tumble when hitting or penetrating a soft target, and thus not as lethal.
Tests have been run using a prototype shotgun test-bed called CAWS to see whether a single-shot, multi-projectile system could achieve the range and hit probability requirements.
The results indicated that the use of serially fired projectiles at a high rate of fire would achieve a tight shotgun-like pattern with rifle-like accuracy up to the required range.
The rifle was designed to have a dispersion such that a man-target running at a speed of 6 km/h at a distance of 250 m would be hit even if the lead angle error (2 mil) was off by 51 cm.
The weapon itself has three firing modes: semi-auto, full-auto at 460 rounds per minute, and three-round burst at over 2100 cyclic rounds per minute, or approximately 36 rounds per second.
The rounds are oriented vertically (at 90 degrees to the bore) and are fed downwards into the rotary chamber so that they can be rotated 90 degrees for firing.
Even though the rotary chamber does not lock up in the true sense of the word, the fact that it has to rotate in and out of alignment with the barrel means that the G11 can be considered to have a lock/unlock phase.
If a round fails to fire or the weapon is being used with training rounds, the rifle can be manually unloaded by twisting the cocking handle counterclockwise.
This pushes the failed/training round out an emergency ejection port on the bottom of the rifle and loads the next round.
The recoil in the three-round burst is not felt by the weapon's user until after the third round has left the chamber.
When the barrel and mechanism reaches the rearmost point in its travel, the recoil springs push it forward back into its normal forward position.
When firing in semi-auto and full-auto modes, the rifle loads and fires only one round per movement of the internal mechanism.
The internal workings of the rifle were rather complex compared to those of some earlier designs, with the mechanism being compared to the inside of a compact clock.
The number of hours of maintenance required for the G11 as compared to other designs is not clear, especially since the effect of the powder used in the caseless ammo remains unknown.
Designers claimed that, because there was no ejection cycle, the internal mechanisms would have little chance to get exposed to external dust, dirt and sand, which would supposedly reduce the need for cleaning.
There were reports that due to the high tolerances required to seal off the front and rear chamber openings the expected life of the contacting parts was around 6000 rounds before maintenance was required.
Premature ignition of ammunition from heat in the chamber, known as cook-off, was a major problem with early prototypes of the G11 where synthetically bound nitrocellulose, formed into blocks, was used.
Normally, when a cartridge is fed into a chamber, its case insulates the propellant from igniting until its impact-sensitive primer is struck by a firing pin or striker.
The case aids in insulating the propellant from the heat of the chamber and it takes time for the temperature to rise sufficiently, inside a chambered round, to ignite the propellant.
As a result of doing away with traditional cases, the G11 became a safety hazard and had to be withdrawn from the 1979 NATO trials.
The high rate of fire and lack of cartridge cases made cooking off a significant problem since the heat buildup in the G11 chamber was immense, due to the chamber having no provision for cooling, as with a reciprocating bolt system which allows hot air to leave the chamber when the bolt is retracted and the chamber is exposed to air.
The vertically swiveling chamber furthermore made gas sealing at each end at such high pressures impractical, as opposed to a cross-sectional round-inside-round bolt-to-chamber fit with appropriate gas sealing.
To solve this, Heckler and Koch formed a partnership with Dynamit Nobel, which redesigned the cartridge to use a new high ignition temperature propellant (HITP).
The cook-off problem was reduced by using a denatured HMX propellant with a special binder and coating for the ammunition that increased the spontaneous ignition temperature by another 100 °C above that of standard, nitrocellulose (180 °C) propellant.
This allowed the 50-cartridge magazine to carry the maximum amount of propellant in a minimum of space, since the wasted space between rounds that accompanies the use of cylindrical cartridges was eliminated.
The issue of heat removal from caseless-firing weapons as well as methods of igniting them continue to be researched by other companies.
An alternative route was taken by the Austrian company Voere, whose Voere VEC-91 uses a caseless, electrically-fired round developed by Austrian inventor Hubert Usel.
This technique makes it possible to greatly increase the ignition temperature of the ammunition while maintaining the ability to fire it.
This would increase the maximum rate and duration a gun could fire at before cooking off rounds, but the VEC-91 never took advantage of this, since it was a bolt-action rifle.
The 4.73×33mm projectile was required to defeat NATO and Warsaw Pact armor at 300–400 m (Document 14) but was advertised to meet the requirement at 600 m. This fact was neither confirmed nor denied by the West German government, citing inability to disclose such information.
It was to use a shortened 4.73×25 mm cartridge and meet the same requirements now fulfilled by the HK 4.6×30mm: Armor piercing of NATO CRISAT Technology Area 1 (TA1) out to 300 m; Level II out to 25 m; lethal suppression fire against unarmored targets out to 450 m.
By 2004, the technology developed for the G11 was licensed for the Lightweight Small Arms Technologies project, the current project of which is a light machine gun prototype for the US Army.
The design is intended to be able to proceed with either a cased cartridge using a composite case or a caseless ammunition design developed from the G11.
Both ammunition designs are telescoped ammunition like that used by the G11, however the current ammunition design has a plastic case in contrast to the fully caseless G11 ammunition.
The Judy Garland Show is an American musical variety television series that aired on CBS on Sunday nights during the 1963–1964 television season.
Garland, who for years had been reluctant to commit to a weekly series, saw the show as her best chance to pull herself out of severe financial difficulties.
The series had three different producers in the course of its 26 episodes and went through a number of other key personnel changes.
With the change in producers also came changes to the show's format, which started as comedy and variety but switched to an almost purely concert format.
The relationship between CBS and Garland and her then-husband and manager, Sid Luft, dissolved in acrimony in 1957, after they and agent Freddie Fields were unable to come to terms with the network over the format of her next special.
(CBS filed a counterclaim) that was not settled until 1961, when Garland and CBS each agreed to drop their claims and negotiations began for a new round of Garland specials for the network.
Alternately promoted as a preview and a pilot for Garland's upcoming regular series, this special was also nominated for an Emmy.
Judy Garland's four-year contract for the series called for 26 weekly shows, for which Garland's corporation, Kingsrow Enterprises, would be paid $140,000 per episode.
Although Garland had said as early as 1955 that she would never do a weekly television series, in the early 1960s she was in a financially precarious situation.
The network initially offered the producer's job to Bob Banner, who was at the time producing a series for Garry Moore.
Unbeknownst to Hobin, George Schlatter had been lobbying on the West Coast for the producer job and was signed to produce.
Multiple Academy Award-winner Edith Head was engaged to design Garland's costumes, while Ray Aghayan, who Schlatter knew from their work together with Dinah Shore, was hired to costume Garland's guests.
Mel Tormé was brought on as musical arranger and to write special musical material, and would also appear as a guest on the program.
The network had gone to great expense to prepare the studio, including an estimated $100,000 to raise the stage and install a separate revolving stage.
Garland's dressing room was a 110 ft × 40 ft trailer which had been decorated as a replica of her newly purchased Brentwood home.
Garland's old friend and frequent MGM co-star Mickey Rooney was, at Garland's insistence, her first guest—although, because the network elected to air the series out of production order, this was actually the tenth episode to be broadcast.
Varying reports have Schlatter being fired by James Aubrey, Jr. (president of CBS) or by Garland herself, but in either case, production was suspended for five weeks.
Replacing Schlatter as executive producer was Norman Jewison, who shared a vision for the series that was closer to that of Aubrey's.
That vision was that Garland was too glamorous for television and that she needed her series to present her in a more conventional light.
Reviews were generally favorable (see below), though Jerry Van Dyke's supporting role was heavily criticized; Van Dyke was let go from the cast after the tenth produced episode.
Colleran revamped the format yet again, doing away with the insulting humor and focusing the show more on Garland and her singing, although there were still comedy elements in Colleran's initial episodes, with guests such as Bob Newhart and Shelley Berman.
As well, Ken Murray was briefly featured as a regular, showing his home movies of Hollywood stars, but was dropped after four episodes.
Officially, it was reported that it was Garland who exited the series, as explained in a letter released by CBS, supposedly from Garland to Aubrey, advising him that she wanted to spend more time caring for her children.
During these final episodes, following Show 22 specifically, Tormé was fired and was replaced by Bobby Cole, a musician Garland had met recently in New York.
Other negative reviews were in a similar vein, focusing on Van Dyke in particular and the show's format and writing in general.
In addition to the replacement of key production staff and constantly revising the format, Garland was also summoned to New York to receive such bits of information as she was touching her guests too much and was instructed to stop.
As well, Van Dyke was let go almost immediately after the reviews came out, taping his last show on October 11.
Nevertheless, numerous episodes featuring Van Dyke had already completed taping and would continue to air, meaning that the changes in the show's format would not be apparent to viewers for several weeks.
Accordingly, reviews about the show's format (as opposed to Garland's singing) continued to be negative, as the Garland-deprecating humor continued to attract criticism rather than viewers.
Green Mountain College was a private liberal arts college in Poultney, Vermont, United States, at the foot of the Taconic Mountains between the Green Mountains and Adirondacks.
The college had a core set of courses known as the Environmental Liberal Arts curriculum, in environmental and natural sciences, writing, reading, history and philosophy.
In 1863 the school's name changed to Ripley Female College; in 1874 back to Troy Conference Academy; and in 1937 to Green Mountain Junior College.
On January 23, 2019, Green Mountain's President, Robert W. Allen, announced that, due to financial problems, the college would close at the end of the 2019 academic year.
Arizona's Prescott College — which also focuses on the environment and sustainability — agreed to allow Green Mountain students to complete their degrees at Prescott.
Green Mountain College offered 23 undergraduate majors GMC also offered the following graduate degrees: an MBA in Sustainable Business; MS in Environmental Studies; MS in Sustainable Food Systems; and MS in Resilient and Sustainable Communities.
Based on the ideas of philosopher John Dewey and formed on a philosophy similar to that of Goddard College, a Vermont institution recognized for its dedication to progressive education, the students in the program defined their own education goals and worked with faculty members individually to meet them.
The award recognizes Green Mountain for commitment to environmental sustainability in its governance and administration, curriculum and research, operations, campus culture, and community outreach.
Students installed a wind turbine to power the campus green house and solar panel on the roof of the student center.
SCGF money was used to install bike racks, purchase recycling bins, use bio-diesel in campus maintenance equipment, and upgrade the alternative energy systems that powered the farm greenhouse.
According to the college, its choral group was the only collegiate choir in the United States with a repertoire of Welsh language music.
Dignity Health Sports Park, formerly Home Depot Center and StubHub Center, is a multiple-use sports complex located on the campus of California State University, Dominguez Hills in Carson, California, that consists of a soccer stadium, a separate tennis stadium, a track and field facility, and a velodrome: VELO Sports Center.
It is approximately south of downtown Los Angeles and its primary tenant is the LA Galaxy of Major League Soccer (MLS).
With a seating capacity of 27,000, it is the largest soccer-specific stadium in the U.S. and the second-largest among its kind in MLS, after Toronto FC's BMO Field in Ontario, Canada.
In addition to hosting LA Galaxy games since its opening, the stadium also served as the home of the now-defunct Chivas USA MLS team from 2005 to 2014.
When the venue opened in June 2003 as the new home of LA Galaxy, a number of special events took place in celebration.
In addition to the soccer stadium, Dignity Health Sports Park features the 2,450-seat VELO Sports Center (velodrome), an 8,000-seat tennis stadium.
In 2017, to accommodate the Chargers' use of the stadium, upgrades were made at cost to the Chargers including bleachers in the second deck on the east side of the stadium being replaced by tip-up seats and moved to the berm on the north side, adding 1,000 seats.
Also, the luxury suites were renovated with new seats, furniture, community tables, and engineered hardwood floors and the press box underwent an upgrade with a third row added to the main box, boosting capacity from about 35 to 53.
Floors were constructed on the roof of the luxury suites so an auxiliary press box could be built on both sides of the main box.
Two new radio booths were built outside the south side of the press box, and a large new booth on the north side which serves as a security command post for police and NFL officials was constructed.
Two booths were added on each side of the press box for the NFL-mandated 20-yard-line television cameras, and a stairway allowing access to the roof of the main box was built to accommodate the 50-yard-line camera.
Aside from being home to the LA Galaxy of Major League Soccer, it was also home to two defunct clubs, the MLS team Chivas USA as well as Los Angeles Sol of the Women's Professional Soccer.
Both the United States women's and men's national soccer teams often use the facility for training camps and select home matches.
The track and field stadium on the site is also home to the LA Galaxy II of the USL Championship, farm club to the parent Galaxy.
The stadium hosted the first three editions (2004–06) of the USA Sevens, an annual international rugby sevens competition that is part of the World Rugby Sevens Series, and will again host that event on February 29 to March 1, 2020.
It was also the location for the State Championship Bowl Games for high school football teams in the state of California from 2006 to 2014.
The Semper Fidelis All America game was held there on January 5, 2014, featuring an East vs West high school matchup.
The first college football game was held at the stadium on January 21, 2012, as the AstroTurf NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, with the National Team beating the American Team 20–14.
It is also the home of the Adidas Running Club, a member of the USA Elite Running Circuit, and the Adidas Track Classic.
The facility has also hosted several high-profile professional boxing matches, including Andre Ward vs. Arthur Abraham, Brandon Ríos vs. Urbano Antillón, Shawn Porter vs. Kell Brook and matches featuring other notable fighters.
The Los Angeles Chargers had a three-year tenure at Dignity Health Sports Park from 2017 to 2019, while SoFi Stadium in Inglewood was being built.
During the team's three seasons at the stadium, they compiled an even 11–11 record while frequently dealing with high numbers of spectators supporting the opposing team due to the combined reasons of the Chargers building a fan-base in the Los Angeles area and spectators opting to see their team compete in a small setting for the NFL.
In 2007 it received the bands Héroes del Silencio, in their Tour 2007, and Soda Stereo in their Me Verás Volver tour 2007.
In 2017, the LA Galaxy launched a shuttle bus service with two routes connecting Dignity Health Sports Park with the Harbor Gateway Transit Center and Del Amo station, operated by Long Beach Transit.
Founded in 1828 by John Chesamore, in 2018 it was merged with the former Lyndon State College to create Northern Vermont University.
The town of Johnson, and a part of neighboring Cambridge, Vermont together once made up the King's College Tract, a land grant chartered by King George III in 1774 for the eventual expansion of King's College in New York, today's Columbia University.
Following the Declaration of Independence, and the emergence of the Vermont Republic, the town was instead granted to William Samuel Johnson by Vermont's Council of Censors in 1782.
Early on Johnson embraced the ideas of learning from experience, and the role of the student in directing some part of their curriculum.
A commitment to educating the whole student in an interdisciplinary manner, begun in the 1920s and 1930s, set in place a history of bringing visiting poets, playwrights, politicians, and artists to the college.
Recent visitors to the campus include Japanese and Cuban drummers, New Orleans jazz musicians, and Buddhist monks who installed an environmental art work at Lower Pond.
The original campus was built in the village of Johnson and over time, the college expanded; slowly building higher upon what is now called College Hill, finally settling upon a plateau above the village with a view of Sterling Mountain and the Sterling Mountain Range.
Today the college is a part of the Vermont State Colleges, a consortium of five colleges governed by a common board of trustees, chancellor, and Council of Presidents, each college with its own president and deans.
Men's sports include basketball, cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, tennis, track & field, and volleyball; while women's sports include basketball, cross country, soccer, softball, tennis, track & field and volleyball.
In 2018, women's triathlon was added to the varsity sports roster, representing the only NCAA institution in New England to carry women's triathlon as a varsity sport.
The student is engaged not solely on her or his degree program, but as an adult citizen with emphasis on their place in, and contribution to, their society, nation, and world.
Degree programs include the natural sciences, business, fine and performing arts, education, mathematics, literature, health sciences, writing and literature, and hospitality and tourism management.
Nearly 60% of undergraduate students come from Vermont, with approximately 40% coming from other U.S. states and more than a dozen nations.
Named for Arthur J. Dibden, president of Johnson State College 1967-69, Dibden oversaw the expansion and development of the fine and performing arts programs.
The center is located on the southwest side of the campus and houses the college's Dance, Music, and Theater programs as well as gallery exhibition space for the Fine Arts programs.
The striking late modernist building, whose sculptural roofline echoes the contours of the Sterling Mountain Range–its backdrop to the south, is the work of architect Robert Burley.
The large 500-seat Dibden Theater with a 44' proscenium stage is the centerpiece of the performing arts facilities at the center.
Practice and instruction rooms wrap around the theater and the Julian Scott Memorial Gallery on the front of the center showcases exhibitions of fine art and design by the college's fine art students as well as travelling exhibitions and the work of visiting artists.
The Dibden Center for the Arts houses the faculties of the Department of Music and the Department of Theater, a recording studio, music studios, practice rooms, classrooms and a piano laboratory.
Recitals and concerts, theater and contemporary dance performances, and open rehearsals bring performing arts into the daily life of the college.
One of the best aspects of Dibden is the fact that it is fully student run, both working Front of House and backstage, so there is always learning and working opportunity for students that seek work opportunities and those who would like to learn more about the theater.
Johnson's Library and Learning Center (LLC) opened in 1996 and incorporates the collections of the older John Dewey Library with expanded collections and new technology.
The LLC houses the largest collections of fine arts publications in Vermont and is a designated National Archives and Records Administration repository.
The LLC was designed by the architectural firm of Gossens Bachman Architects and has won numerous awards for its architecture and environmental efficiency.
John Dewey Hall on the south side of the quadrangle was built in 1963 in the International Style; to house the college's library.
Today the building houses the college bookstore, the office of the Dean of Students, the Student Association, the Registration and Advising Center, TRIO, academic advising, and career & internship offices.
Johnson's Visual Arts Center (VAC) houses the college's Visual Arts Programs, which was renovated in 2012, with studios for design, drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, ceramics and woodworking.
The VAC augments exhibition space at the Julian Scott Memorial Gallery in the Dibden Center with a gallery for exhibiting works in progress and student projects.
Exhibition programs support and expand the studio curriculum, providing students with frequent opportunities to share their work and receive input; and, by exhibiting faculty and visiting artists' work, providing insights into teachers’ approaches to making art and critique.
Exhibitions in many mediums both of work produced within the college, and by work exhibited by visiting artists exposes students to a wide range of contemporary thinking and art-making methods.
Students in their junior and senior years, especially those presenting thesis level work exhibit in the Julian Scott Memorial Gallery at the Dibden Center for the Arts.
Wilson Bentley Hall, designed by noted architect Robert Burley, houses the faculties of the Department of Mathematics, and the Department of Environmental and Health Sciences.
A 200-seat lecture hall with digital projection facilities, an interactive television studio, and laboratories for biology, chemistry, physical sciences, cartography, and geographic information systems.
The Babcock Nature Preserve, located ten miles from Johnson in Eden, Vermont is a 1,000 acre (4 km²) tract of forest land owned and maintained by the college for scientific and educational study.
The summer field program at the Babcock Nature Preserve features a number of intensive courses designed to provide field experience in the environmental and natural sciences.
Elseworlds was the publication imprint for American comic books produced by DC Comics for stories that took place outside the DC Universe canon.
From 1942 to the mid-1980s, particularly during the 1960s — the era of the Silver Age of Comic Books — DC Comics began to make a distinction between the continuity of its fictional universe and stories with plots that did not fit that continuity.
In addition to other things, when the opening credits roll and state that the cartoons are based on DC Comics, Lois Lane states that she has never heard of DC Comics.
In the final panel, Clark Kent exchanges a knowing wink with the image of himself as Superman on the movie screen.
In the optimistic and hopeful Silver Age of Comics, such stories usually would not be told; this was hinted with writers telling readers how such an Imaginary Story often reassured the readers that it did not really happen.
Possible present times were shown, such as one story where Jonathan and Martha Kent, touched by pity, adopt a recently orphaned Bruce Wayne and raise him along with their own son, Clark.
In keeping with the fact that imaginary stories allowed for much grimmer stories than usual, the story ended with Lex Luthor killing the Kents and Batman trying to murder him in revenge.
Batman editor Jack Schiff supervised stories in which the Dark Knight starts a family or loses his identity, though these were revealed at the end of the story to be stories written by Alfred.
He is a laureate of multiple literary awards including the Russian Little Booker Prize (1993) and the Russian National Bestseller (2004).
His books are multi-layered postmodernist texts fusing elements of pop culture and esoteric philosophies while carrying conventions of the science fiction genre.
Victor Olegovich Pelevin was born in Moscow on 22 November 1962 to Zinaida Semenovna Efremova, an English teacher, and Oleg Anatolyevich Pelevin, a teacher at the military department of Bauman University.
In 1979 Pelevin graduated from an elite high school with a special English program located on Stanislavskogo Street in the centre of Moscow, now Kaptsov Gymnasium #1520.
Pelevin has repeatedly said that despite the fact that his characters use drugs, he is not an addict even though he has experimented with mind-expanding substances in his youth.
While studying at the Institute Pelevin met the young novelist Albert Egazarov and the poet Victor Kulle, later a literary critic.
In 1997 the novel won Russia's Strannik Award for science fiction, and in 2001 it was shortlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award.
Representatives of Eksmo claimed that it was a result of a theft, but some speculated that it was a marketing ploy.
The author received the third award of the fifth season of the Big Book award (2009-2010) and won the reader choice vote.
Pelevin is known for not being a part of the literary crowd, rarely appearing in public or giving interviews and preferring to communicate on the internet.
For instance, it has been suggested that the writer does not exist and Pelevin is actually a code name for a group of authors or even a computer.
In May 2011 it was reported that Pelevin would personally attend the award ceremony SuperNatsBest, which would have been the writer's first appearance in public.
Pelevin's prose is usually devoid of dialogue between the author and the reader, whether through plot, character development, literary form or narrative language.
This corresponds to his philosophy (both stated and unstated) that, for the most part, it is the reader who infuses the text with meaning.
The region around Nowra is a farming community, sustaining a thriving dairy industry and a number of State forests, but is also increasingly a retirement and leisure area for Canberra and Sydney.
The Nowra region, south of Bomaderry Creek was inhabited by the Wodi-Wodi tribe of the Yuin nation while north of Bomaderry Creek was inhabited by the Dharawal Aboriginal people prior to European arrival.
Around 1824, ex-convict Mary Reibey applied for a land grant in the Burrier area, on the southern side of the Shoalhaven River.
The Shoalhaven River meets the sea through the canal that joins the Shoalhaven and Crookhaven Rivers, which was dug by convicts under direction of local entrepreneur and pioneer Alexander Berry.
The population of Nowra - Bomaderry was 37,420 at June 2018; having grown gradually since 2005 when the population was 31,716.
According to the 2006 census, 87.9% of the population of Nowra was born in Australia, with North-West Europe being the most common birthplace of immigrants at 7.5% of the population.
There are a total of 8,248 families, with 2,838 containing two Adults with children under 15 and/or dependent students, and 1,163 being one parent families with children under 15 and/or dependent students.
Nowra has a growing tourist industry, especially in the summer months, when visitors (mostly from Sydney and Canberra) flock to the beaches, to enjoy swimming, surfing, fishing, relaxing in the restaurants and cafés and hunting for treasures in the shops and boutiques.
There are also several non-government schools, which are all denominational; a K-12 Christian-based school located in South Nowra, Nowra Christian School; a K-12 Anglican college in Bomaderry, Nowra Anglican College; and a Catholic systemic high school, St John the Evangelist Catholic High School on the outskirts of Nowra.
There are seven public primary schools in the Nowra area as well: East Nowra Public School, Nowra Public School, Bomaderry Public School, Illaroo Road Public School, North Nowra Public School, Nowra Hill Public School and Terara Public School.
The University of Wollongong also has a campus in Nowra, and there is a campus of TAFE NSW Illawarra Institute located in Bomaderry.
The club won the 2008 premiership in the Illawarra district competition, and has produced international and provincial players such as Andrew Walker and Alex Kanaar.
Australian rules football is played by three clubs from the Shoalhaven area, with the Nowra Albatross Vikings playing at West Street Oval, and the Bomaderry Tigers at Artie Smith Oval.
The Shoalhaven Tigers represent the area in the New South Wales State Basketball League and have won several championships from 1988 until 2007.
He won both Cups easily, and is one of only five horses to have won the Melbourne Cup on two or more occasions, and one of only four horses to have won two successive Cups.
Although Nowra has no direct rail connection, the Illawarra railway line terminates at Bomaderry with NSW TrainLink operating services to Kiama and Sydney.
Chinook winds , or simply Chinooks, are föhn winds in the interior West of North America, where the Canadian Prairies and Great Plains meet various mountain ranges, although the original usage is in reference to wet, warm coastal winds in the Pacific Northwest.
Chinook winds have been observed to raise winter temperature, often from below −20 °C (−4 °F) to as high as 10–20 °C (50–68 °F) for a few hours or days, then temperatures plummet to their base levels.
The greatest recorded temperature change in 24 hours was caused by Chinook winds on 15 January 1972, in Loma, Montana; the temperature rose from −48 to 9 °C (−54 to 49 °F).
Chinooks are most prevalent over southern Alberta in Canada, especially in a belt from Pincher Creek and Crowsnest Pass through Lethbridge, which get 30–35 Chinook days per year, on average.
Chinooks become less frequent further south in the United States, and are not as common north of Red Deer, but they can and do occur annually as far north as High Level in northwestern Alberta and Fort St. John in northeastern British Columbia, and as far south as Las Vegas, Nevada, and occasionally to Carlsbad, in eastern New Mexico.
During the winter, driving can be treacherous, as the wind blows snow across roadways, sometimes causing roads to vanish and snowdrifts to pile up higher than a metre.
Empty semitrailer trucks driving along Highway 3 and other routes in southern Alberta have been blown over by the high gusts of wind caused by Chinooks.
Calgary, Alberta also gets many Chinooks – the Bow Valley in the Canadian Rockies west of the city acts as a natural wind tunnel, funneling the chinook winds.
On 27 February 1992, Claresholm, Alberta, a small city just south of Calgary, recorded a temperature of ; again, the next day was recorded.
It is not unheard of for people in Lethbridge to complain of temperatures while those in desert region, just down the road, enjoy temperatures.
This clash of temperatures can remain stationary, or move back and forth, in the latter case causing such fluctuations as a warm morning, a bitterly cold afternoon, and a warm evening.
One of its most striking features is the Chinook arch, a föhn cloud in the form of a band of stationary stratus clouds caused by air rippling over the mountains due to orographic lifting.
Typically, the colours will change throughout the day, starting with yellow, orange, red and pink shades in the morning as the sun comes up, grey shades at midday changing to pink / red colours, and then orange / yellow hues just before the sun sets.
The Chinook is a föhn wind, a rain shadow wind which results from the subsequent adiabatic warming of air which has dropped most of its moisture on windward slopes (orographic lift).
As a consequence of the different adiabatic rates of moist and dry air, the air on the leeward slopes becomes warmer than equivalent elevations on the windward slopes.
The turbulence of the high winds also can prevent the usual nocturnal temperature inversion from forming on the lee side of the slope, allowing night-time temperatures to remain elevated.
Quite often, when the Pacific Northwest coast is being drenched by rain, the windward side of the Rockies is being hammered by snow (as the air loses its moisture), and the leeward side of the Rockies in Alberta is basking in a föhn Chinook.
Two common cloud patterns seen during this time are a chinook arch overhead, and a bank of clouds (also referred to as a cloud wall) obscuring the mountains to the west.
This southeast wind was named for the small village Manyberries, now a hamlet, in southeastern Alberta, from where the wind seems to originate.
The term Chinook wind is also used in British Columbia, and is the original usage, being rooted in the lore of coastal tribes and brought to Alberta by the fur-traders.
The winds are also known as the pineapple express, since they are of tropical origin, roughly from the area of the Pacific near Hawaii.
The air associated with a west coast Chinook is stable; this minimizes wind gusts and often keeps winds light in sheltered areas.
When a Chinook comes in when an Arctic air mass is holding steady over the coast, the tropical dampness brought in suddenly cools, penetrating the frozen air and coming down in volumes of powder snow, sometimes to sea level.
Snowfalls and the cold spells that spawned them only last a few days during a Chinook; as the warm Chinooks blow from the southwest, they push back east the cold Arctic air.
In a rainy spell, most of the heavy moisture will be soaked out by the ramparts of mountains before the air mass reaches the Fraser Canyon and the Thompson River-Okanagan area.
The effects are similar to those of an Alberta Chinook, though not to the same extreme, in part because the Okanagan is relatively warmer than the Prairies, and because of the additional number of precipitation-catching mountain ranges between Kelowna and Calgary.
When the Chinook brings snow to the coast during a period of coastal cold, bright but chilly weather in the interior will give way to a slushy melting of snow, more due to the warm spell than because of rain.
They consist of cold airstreams from the continental air mass pouring out of the interior plateau via certain river valleys and canyons penetrating the Coast Mountains towards the coast.
Currently, the common pronunciation throughout most of the Pacific Northwest, Alberta, and the rest of Canada, is , as in French.
This difference may be because it was the Métis employees of the Hudson's Bay Company, who were familiar with the Chinook people and country, brought the name east of the Cascades and Rockies, along with their own ethnified pronunciation.
Native legend of the Lil'wat subgroup of the St'at'imc tells of a girl named Chinook-Wind, who married Chinook Glacier, and moved to his country, which was in the area of today's Birkenhead River.
They came to her in a vision in the form of snowflakes, and told her they were coming to get her.
They came in great number and quarrelled with Glacier over her, but they overwhelmed him and she went home with them in the end.
While on the one hand this tale tells a tribal family-relations story, and family/tribal history as well, it also seems to be a parable of a typical weather pattern of a southwesterly wind at first bringing snow, then rain, and also of the melting of a glacier, namely the Place Glacier near Gates Lake at Birken.
Thus, it also tells of a migration of people to the area – or a war, depending on how the details of the legend might be read, with Chinook-Wind taking the part of Helen in a First Nations parallel to the Trojan War.
Plants can be visibly brought out of dormancy by persistent Chinook winds, or have their hardiness reduced even if they appear to be remaining dormant.
Many plants which do well at Winnipeg (where constant cold maintains dormancy all winter) are difficult to grow in the Alberta Chinook belt; examples include basswood, some apple, raspberry and Saskatoon varieties, and Amur maples.
Trees in the Chinook-affected areas of Alberta are known to be small, with much less growth than trees in areas not affected by Chinooks.
In mid-winter over major centres such as Calgary, Chinooks can often override cold air in the city, trapping the pollutants in the cold air and causing inversion smog.
At such times, it is possible for it to be cold at street level and much warmer at the tops of the skyscrapers and in higher terrain.
In 1983, on the 45th floor [about 145 m (460 ft) above the street] of the Petro-Canada Center, carpenters worked shirtless in +12 °C, windy conditions (temperature reported to them by overhead crane operator), but were chagrined to find out the street temperature was still −20 °C as they left work at 3:30 that afternoon.
On 15 January 1972, the temperature rose from −54 °F to 49 °F (−48 °C to 9 °C), a 103 °F (58 °C) change in temperature, a dramatic example of the regional Chinook wind in action.
The aforementioned 107 mph (172 km/h) wind in Alberta and other local wind records west of the 100th meridian on the Great Plains of the United States and Canada, as well as instances of the record high and low temperature for a given day of the year being set on the same date, are largely the result of these winds.
On rare occasions, Chinook winds generated on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains have reached as far east as Wisconsin.
Chinooks are generally called föhn winds by meteorologists and climatologists, and, regardless of name, can occur in most places on the leeward side of a nearby mountain range.
Montana, in particular, has a significant amount of föhn winds across much of the state during the winter months, but particularly coming off the Rocky Mountain Front in the northern and west-central areas of the state.
One such wind occurs in the Cook Inlet region in Alaska as air moves over the Chugach Mountains between Prince William Sound and Portage Glacier.
Anchorage residents often believe the warm winds which melt snow and leave their streets slushy and muddy are a midwinter gift from Hawaii, following a common mistake that the warm winds come from the same place as the similar winds near the coasts in southern British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon.
Lyndon State College, a public liberal arts college located at Lyndon Center in Lyndon, Caledonia County in the U.S. state of Vermont, is now the Lyndon campus of Northern Vermont University.
In addition to a range of Bachelor's Degree programs, the college offered Master's Degree programs in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Education, and Liberal Arts.
Consistent with education tradition of the times, the Lyndon Training Course expanded its curriculum in one-year increments, and the first two-year class graduated in 1923.
It was during these years that the Northeast Kingdom began to depend on Lyndon to address the educational needs of its residents.
Bole, who led the school until 1955, encouraged the Vermont State Legislature to establish Lyndon Teachers College, saw the admission of the first male and first out-of-state students during the 1940s, and oversaw the move to the Theodore Newton Vail estate.
Vail had been instrumental in the establishment of Lyndon Institute, and Bole recognized his vacant estate as the perfect place to house the growing school.
The move to Vail Manor was completed on June 30, 1951, the final day of the school's lease at Lyndon Institute.
In 1961, the State Legislature established the Vermont State Colleges system, a consortium of Vermont's five public colleges governed by a common board of trustees, chancellor and Council of Presidents and Lyndon Teachers College became Lyndon State College.
These additions began meeting the needs of a growing student population that also brought a rapid expansion of the Lyndon curriculum.
It was also during this decade that the original Vail Manor was deemed unsafe and was replaced with the Theodore N. Vail Center that now houses the Vail Museum and preserves the name that has become an integral part of the Lyndon State tradition.
In September 2016, the VSC board of trustees voted to merge Lyndon State College with Johnson State College, located roughly 50 miles away.
The new combined institution was named Northern Vermont University, and JSC President Elaine Collins was named as NVU's first president to oversee the consolidation of both campus into the new university.
The merger became effective on July 1st, 2018 and ended over 100 years of Lyndon's existence as a separate institution, although the combined university remains public and under the Vermont State College system.
The Harvey Academic Center is located at the center of campus, and houses offices and classrooms for Recreation Studies, as well as for other classes.
The Stonehenge residence hall complex is located on the southern end of campus, and consists of six residence halls: Whitelaw/Crevecoeur (first-year students), Arnold/Bayley, and Poland/Rogers.
The ninth hall, Grey House, is a living-learning community dedicated to performing community service on campus and in the local area.
The Lyndon State Hornets are a member of the NCAA, and compete on the Division III level in the North Atlantic Conference.
In 1938, the Australian Commonwealth Naval Board (ACNB) identified the need for a general purpose 'local defence vessel' capable of both anti-submarine and mine-warfare duties, while easy to construct and operate.
Fictional colleges are found in many modern novels, films, and other works of fiction, probably because they allow the author greater licence for invention and a reduced risk of being accused of libel or slander, as might happen if the author depicted unsavory events as occurring at a real-life institution.
A railroad tie or crosstie (American English) or railway sleeper (British English) is a rectangular support for the rails in railroad tracks.
Generally laid perpendicular to the rails, ties transfer loads to the track ballast and subgrade, hold the rails upright and keep them spaced to the correct gauge.
Steel ties are common on secondary lines in the UK; plastic composite ties are also employed, although far less than wood or concrete.
As of January 2008, the approximate market share in North America for traditional and wood ties was 91.5%, the remainder being concrete, steel, azobé (red ironwood) and plastic composite.
The crosstie spacing of mainline railroad is approximately 19 to 19.5 inches for wood ties or 24 inches for concrete ties.
The number of ties is 3,250 wooden crossties per mile (2019 ties/km, or 40 ties per 65 feet) for wood ties or 2640 ties per mile for concrete ties.
Rails in the US may be fastened to the tie by a railroad spike; iron/steel baseplates screwed to the tie and secured to the rail by a proprietary fastening system such as a Vossloh or Pandrol which are commonly used in Europe.
The type of railroad tie used on the predecessors of the first true railway (Liverpool and Manchester Railway) consisted of a pair of stone blocks laid into the ground, with the chairs holding the rails fixed to those blocks.
One advantage of this method of construction was that it allowed horses to tread the middle path without the risk of tripping.
The stone blocks were in any case unsuitable on soft ground, such as at Chat Moss, where timber ties had to be used.
Historically wooden rail ties were made by hewing with an axe, called axe ties or sawn to achieve at least two flat sides.
A variety of softwood and hardwoods timbers are used as ties, oak, jarrah and karri being popular hardwoods, although increasingly difficult to obtain, especially from sustainable sources.
Some lines use softwoods, including Douglas fir; while they have the advantage of accepting treatment more readily, they are more susceptible to wear but are cheaper, lighter (and therefore easier to handle) and more readily available.
Softwood is treated, while creosote is the most common preservative for railway ties, preservatives are also sometimes used such as pentachlorophenol, chromated copper arsenate and a few other preservatives.
New boron-based wood preserving technology is being employed by major US railroads in a dual treatment process in order to extend the life of wood ties in wet areas.
Problems with wooden ties include rot, splitting, insect infestation, plate-cutting, also known as chair shuffle in the UK (abrasive damage to the tie caused by lateral motion of the tie plate) and spike-pull (where the spike is gradually loosened from the tie).
For more information on wooden ties the Railway Tie Association maintains a comprehensive website devoted to wood tie research and statistics.
Wooden ties can, of course, catch fire; as they age they develop cracks that allow sparks to lodge so that they catch fire more easily.
Concrete ties are cheaper and easier to obtain than timber and better able to carry higher axle-weights and sustain higher speeds.
Concrete ties have a longer service life and require less maintenance than timber due to their greater weight, which helps them remain in the correct position longer.
On the highest categories of line in the UK (those with the highest speeds and tonnages), pre-stressed concrete ties are the only ones permitted by Network Rail standards.
Most European railways also now use concrete bearers in switches and crossing layouts due to the longer life and lower cost of concrete bearers compared to timber, which is increasingly difficult and expensive to source in sufficient quantities and quality.
Steel ties are now in widespread use on secondary or lower-speed lines in the UK where they have been found to be economical to install due their ability to be installed on the existing ballast bed.
Steel ties are 100% recyclable and require up to 60% less ballast than concrete ties and up to 45% less than wood ties.
These aged and often obsolete designs limited load and speed capacity but can still be found in many locations globally and performing adequately despite decades of service.
There are great numbers of steel ties with over 50 years of service and in some cases they can and have been rehabilitated and continue to perform well.
Steel ties were also used in specialty situations, such as the Hejaz Railway in the Arabian Peninsula, which had an ongoing problem with Bedouins who would steal wooden ties for campfires.
Of high importance to railroad companies is the fact that steel ties are more economical to install in new construction than creosote-treated wood ties and concrete ties.
Steel ties are utilized in nearly all sectors of the worldwide railroad systems including heavy-haul, class 1s, regional, shortlines, mining, electrified passenger lines (OHLE) and all manner of industries.
Notably, steel ties (bearers) have proven themselves over the last few decades to be advantageous in turnouts (switches/points) and provide the solution to the ever-growing problem of long timber ties for such use.
When insulated to prevent conduction through the ties, steel ties may be used with track circuit based train detection and track integrity systems.
Without insulation, steel ties may only be used on lines without block signaling and level crossings or on lines that use other forms of train detection such as axle counters.
In more recent times, a number of companies are selling composite railroad ties manufactured from recycled plastic resins and recycled rubber.
Manufacturers claim a service life longer than wooden ties with an expected lifetime in the range of 30–80 years, that the ties are impervious to rot and insect attack, and that they can be modified with a special relief on the bottom to provide additional lateral stability.
Aside from the environmental benefits of using recycled material, plastic ties usually replace timber ties soaked in creosote, the latter being a toxic chemical, and are themselves recyclable.
Hybrid plastic railroad ties and composite ties are used in other rail applications such as underground mining operations, industrial zones, humid environments and densely populated areas.
Hybrid railroad ties are also used to be partly exchanged with rotten wooden ties, which will result in continuous track stiffness.
Hybrid plastic ties and composite ties also offer benefits on bridges and viaducts, because they lead to better distribution of forces and reduction of vibrations into respectively bridge girders or the ballast.
This is due to better damping properties of hybrid plastic ties and composite ties, which will decrease the intensity of vibrations as well as the sound production.
In 2009, Network Rail announced that it would begin replacing wooden ties with recycled plastic ones made by I-Plas Ltd of Halifax, West Yorkshire; but I-Plas became insolvent in October 2012.
In 2014 the KLP Hybrid Plastic Tie, by Lankhorst Engineered Products of Sneek, Netherlands, won the Innovation Award in the category Track and Infrastructure.
For curves the three-point contact of a Y steel tie means that an exact geometric fit cannot be observed with a fixed attachment point.
The ZSX Twin tie is manufactured by Leonhard Moll Betonwerke GmbH & Co KG and is a pair of two pre-stressed concrete ties longitudinally connected by four steel rods.
The design is said to be suitable for track with sharp curves, track subject to temperature stress such as that operated by trains with eddy brakes, and bridges, and as transition track between traditional track and slab track or bridges.
The system has been used in Germany where wide ties have also been used in conjunction with the GETRAC A3 ballastless track systems.
Advantages include increased lateral resistance and lower weight than monobloc concrete ties, as well as elimination of damage from torsional forces on the ties center due the more flexible steel connections.
This system is in use in Austria; in the Austrian system the track is fastened at the four corners of the frame, and is also supported midway along the frame.
The structure is similar to Brunel's baulk track; these longitudinal ties can be used with ballast, or with elastomer supports on a solid non-ballasted support.
Historically spikes gave way to cast iron chairs fixed to the tie, more recently springs (such as Pandrol clips) are used to fix the rail to the tie chair.
In recent years, wooden railroad ties have also become popular for gardening and landscaping, both in creating retaining walls and raised-bed gardens, and sometimes for building steps as well.
Traditionally, the ties sold for this purpose are decommissioned ties taken from rail lines when replaced with new ties, and their lifespan is often limited due to rot.
Due to the presence of wood preservatives such as coal tar, creosote or salts of heavy metals, railroad ties introduce an extra element of soil pollution into gardens and are avoided by many property owners.
In the UK, new oak beams of the same size as standard railroad ties, but not treated with dangerous chemicals, are now available specifically for garden construction.
In some places, railroad ties have been used in the construction of homes, particularly among those with lower incomes, especially near railroad tracks, including railroad employees.
In Germany, use of wooden railroad ties as building material (namely in gardens, houses and in all places where regular contact to human skin would be likely, in all areas frequented by children and in all areas associated with the production or handling of food in any way) has been prohibited by law since 1991 because they pose a significant risk to health and environment.
The caves are sited within the Bungonia State Conservation Area adjoining the Morton National Park, about east of Goulburn and about south-west of Sydney.
The caves are formed in limestone at the southern extremity of the Sydney basin, a broad expanse of New South Wales between this point, the city of Newcastle in the north, the town of Lithgow to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east.
Drum Cave is closed annually from 1 November through to 1 April in order to provide a safe environment for the bats during their breeding season, but is open and available to the public for the remainder of each year.
The importance of Drum Cave for the preservation of the Large Bent-wing Bat is underscored by the fact that the next closest suitable breeding cave is located near Wee Jasper.
Chalk Cave is closed 1 May to 30 September for bat hibernation over winter; entry to these caves during these periods carries a fine.
There are over one hundred and ninety caves at Bungonia, though some of these are not much more than small holes in the ground.
Colonia del Sacramento (; ) is a city in southwestern Uruguay, by the Río de la Plata, facing Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Modern Colonia del Sacramento produces textiles and has a free trade zone, in addition to a polytechnic centre and various government buildings.
Manuel Lobo with 5 ships containing about 400 soldiers, craftsmen, carpenters and stonecutters, and 18 guns, reached San Gabriel island on 20 January 1680.
José de Garro sent spies from Santo Domingo de Soriano on 22 February 1680, after receiving a negative response on 10 February to his ultimatum to leave the site.
Garro sent a force of 3,400 men under the command of Antonio de Vera Mujica, capturing the besieged town on the night of 6-7 August 1680.
Field Marshal Duarte Teixeira Chaves arrived off the San Gabriel islands on 25 January 1683, and commenced to rebuild the settlement.
Lencastre ordered the building of houses of stone and mud with tile roofs, the enlargement of the city walls, and the addition of a fortified tower.
The colonists grew wheat, hemp flax, and grape vines, exported cattle hides to Rio De Janeiro, while importing wood and foodstuffs.
As a consequence of the War of the Spanish Succession, the governor of Buenos Aires, Valdes Incian, initiated the Siege of Colonia del Sacramento.
The forces of the Spanish governor were commanded by Baltazar Garc%C3%ADa Ros from 18 October 1704 until 14 March 1705, when the colonists were evacuated by Portuguese ships.
Antonio Pedro de Vasconcellos took over as governor on 14 March 1722 and transformed it into the richest and best defended city in the Rio de la Plata region.
Spain returned the colony in the 1762 Treaty of Fontainebleau, and Dom José Pedro de Figueiredo Sarmento took over as governor on 27 December 1763.
The precipitation is evenly distributed throughout the year, with an average of 1,039 mm (40.91 in), and the annual average temperature is 17 °C (63 °F).
Outside the wall, the historical part of the city was planned in Spanish colonial style and in the characteristic checkerboard layout.
It is a popular tourist attraction for visitors from Buenos Aires, and there is frequent ferry service across the Río de la Plata between the two cities, with fast ferries completing the journey in just 50 minutes.
The historical section of Colonia, which has some cobblestone streets built by the Portuguese in the 17th century, is within walking distance of the ferry terminal.
There is a project in process to lengthen the runway and begin commercial flights to Buenos Aires (this was done in the past) and other cities within Uruguay.
The National Soccer League (NSL) was the top-level soccer league in Australia, run by Soccer Australia and later the Australian Soccer Association.
The NSL, the A-League's predecessor, spanned 28 seasons from its inception in 1977 until its demise in 2004, when it was succeeded by the A-League competition run by Football Federation Australia, the successor to the Australian Soccer Association.
During the history of the NSL the league was contested by a total of 42 teams; 41 based in Australia and one based in New Zealand.
In 1984, the league was split into two conferences (Northern and Southern) to introduce more teams into the competition; the league returned to a single division in 1987.
The competition was known by various names through sponsorships; these names included the Philips Soccer League, Olympic Airways Soccer League, Coca-Cola Soccer League, the Ericsson Cup and the A-League.
From the league's inaugural season to its demise in 2004, a total of 13 clubs were crowned Champions through either a system of first past the post or a finals series that culminated in a grand final.
The petroleum company Ampol sponsored cup competitions in the various states, starting with New South Wales in 1957, with other states following in their stead.
From 1962 until 1968 an Australia Cup was held, but its ambition of becoming an FA Cup style knockout competition went unfulfilled.
In the 1970s the top sides from Melbourne and Sydney played off in an end of season series, but the tournament didn't seem to quite capture the legitimacy and popularity that was hoped for.
Plans for a national home and away league went back as far as 1965 for a 1967 start, and were followed up by variations on the theme throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, but faced opposition variously from clubs, who deemed the notion uneconomical, and state federations who feared losing their power.
Australia's qualification for the 1974 World Cup led to various discussions in 1975 and 1976, with eventually 14 teams being chosen to participate in the inaugural season of the national league.
The Victorian Soccer Federation was reluctant for its big clubs to be involved and it appeared the dream of Alex Pongrass of St George and Frank Lowy of Hakoah Sydney for a nationwide club competition would not evolve.
Little-known Mooroolbark from Melbourne's outer eastern suburbs broke the deadlock by joining the competition, bringing three other Victorian sides with it, making the national league a reality.
The first seven seasons of the league would be dominated by Sydney clubs, with Sydney City winning four titles, and only West Adelaide being able to wrest the title from New South Wales.
West secured the 1978 championship after scoring a late equaliser in an Adelaide derby against Adelaide City in the final round of the season.
A post season finals series was played during this era but was considered more of an exhibition series rather than a legitimate game to decide the national champion, although some confusion still exists on this matter particularly amongst some Heidelberg supporters who consider the 1980 'final' as a legitimate decider.
Shrinking crowds led to the radical move of introducing more teams (mainly from Victoria and New South Wales) and splitting the league into two conferences, with the winner of each division to play-off in an end of year two legged final.
For season 1984 the 'Australian' Conference had competing teams from New South Wales and the ACT, whilst the 'National' Conference consisted of Victorian, South Australian and Queensland clubs.
This period saw South Melbourne become the first Victorian team to win the league, followed by Brunswick Juventus, and Adelaide City, all Southern conference sides.
At the end of the 1986 season, the system was scrapped, and about half the teams were dumped back to their respective state leagues.
The criteria used to decide who stayed and who went was based 50% on the 1986 playing record, 40% on past playing record, and 10% on crowd support.
The revamped league suffered a major setback early on when Sydney City pulled out of the competition after just one round into the new season.
Apart from returning to a single division, the league also dispensed with finals for the 1987 season, reverting to first past the post.
This period saw a re-emergence of New South Wales dominance with all titles, minor premierships and runners-up being from that state.
Attempts to shift the league towards a summer season went back into the early 1980s, but only came to pass for the 1989/90 season.
The league would avoid being marginalised in the media during the peak of the Australian Football League and Australian Rugby League seasons, as well as providing better playing surfaces and spectator comfort owing to the better weather.
The impetus given to the league from the switch was not enough for some clubs to remain in the league, with many clubs being relegated or being demoted back to the state leagues, including former champions Brunswick Juventus, St George and APIA Leichhardt, as well as once upon a time contenders in Heidelberg and Preston.
This coincided with a renewed push by soccer authorities to force clubs to market themselves to mainstream Australia, as opposed to their own mostly migrant fan bases.
This included name and logo changes, as well as the banning of ethnic flags, changes which were begrudgingly agreed to by the clubs, though in the terraces the fans generally continued to chant the old names.
From 1996 onwards the league attempted to revitalise the competition and attempt to hook into the mainstream support by finally introducing a team from Western Australia, in the form of Perth Glory, as well as other new entities which promised to deliver mainstream support, as well as being fully professional outfits as opposed to the majority of clubs and players who were only semi-professional.
Among the new clubs at this time were the Collingwood Warriors, Carlton, Northern Spirit (GHFA Spirit as of 2004) and Parramatta Power, as well as New Zealand's first professional team, the Football Kingz.
Collingwood Warriors barely managed to last a season, while Carlton reached the grand final in its debut year, but was unable to attract a substantial fan base.
Northern Spirit started off with record crowds, and a good debut season reaching the finals, but gradually crowds declined, and financial difficulties along with a controversial takeover by Rangers, didn't help matters.
Parramatta Power failed to gather much support, placed as it was in the midst of the already crowded western Sydney soccer market, and it too would not last beyond the end of the NSL.
High crowds and good performances throughout the NSL's last decade made Perth Glory for many observers the benchmark and role model for all future entrants to the Australian top-flight.
A then record grand final crowd of 40,000 people saw the Brisbane Strikers become the first Queensland side to win the title in season 1996/97, but it never resulted in Brisbane gaining much bigger crowds in the following seasons than they were accustomed to.
South Melbourne FC won back-to-back titles in the late 1990s, and by also winning the 1999 Oceania Club Championship, earning the right to play in the 2000 FIFA Club World Championship, where it put in some respectable performances, and a tidy sum in prize money.
Wollongong Wolves became the only side from regional Australia to win the league, with their back-to-back titles in 1999/2000 and 2000/01.
The 1999/2000 Grand Final against Perth Glory at Subiaco Oval in Perth saw a record attendance of 43,242, overtaking the 1997 figure in Brisbane and a record that would remain until the 2007 A-League Grand Final in Melbourne.
The cancellation of the 2001 FIFA Club World Championship however was a major blow to the league as clubs which had seen a way of making a substantial amount of much needed money.
In 1998, Soccer Australia sold the television rights for the NSL and Socceroos matches to the Seven Network in a 10-year contract that was worth $2.5 million a year.
At one point in 2000, the amount of free-to-air coverage on the NSL was only a one-hour highlights package of the NSL after midnight on Wednesdays.
In 2002, C7 Sport closed after the Seven Network lost the AFL rights and pay TV networks stopped carrying the channel.
The consequent lack of sponsorship meant the league fell into even further decline which led to its eventual demise at the end of the 2003–04 season.
Highlights were few and far between, but Sydney Olympic re-emerged as a genuine leading club for the first time in a decade, winning its second title, and Perth Glory went on to win the last two titles of the NSL, after previously having lost two grand finals.
The birth of Adelaide United, as a quickly formed replacement of Adelaide City who withdrew just before the start of the final NSL season, was perhaps the sole major highlight of this era, as they put in good performances, but most importantly, registered crowds which had not been seen in Adelaide since the heyday of Adelaide City and West Adelaide.
The league in 2003–04 was won by Perth Glory after a 1-0 win against Parramatta Power on 4 April 2004, almost 27 years to the day that the national competition began.
Nik Mrdja had the honor of scoring the last goal in the NSL, a 98th minute golden goal to seal the championship for Perth.
In 1978, 1979 (two-legged Grand Final), 1980 and 1982 a finals series was conducted but the winner of the Grand Final didn't determine who won the title.
From 1984 until 1986, the league introduced more teams split into two conferences (1984 – Australian Conference, New South Wales/Australian Capital Territory clubs and National Conference, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland; 1985 and 1986 – Northern Conference, New South Wales/Australian Capital Territory clubs and Southern Conference for the rest) with 12 teams in each.
The top five in each division would qualify for the playoffs, with the winner of each of the divisional playoffs playing off in a two-legged Grand Final.
In 1987, the league dumped 11 teams, scrapped the split divisions, and the championship system reverted to first past the post.
This system was used for the rest of the league's duration, except for season 2002/03 when the top six sides played a further series of home and away games against each other, with the top two playing off in the Grand Final.
From 1977 until season 1991/92, teams were awarded two points for a win, one point for draw, and none for a loss.
The exceptions to this were 1979, in which wins by four goals or more were awarded a bonus point, and 1983, in which three points were awarded for a win.
In that season, four points were awarded for a win, with games ending in draws, being decided by penalty shootouts at the end of the game.
Successful NSL clubs gained qualification into the continental competition, the Oceania Club Championship, although the competition only occurred in 1987, 1999 and 2001.
In addition to the main league competition, the NSL also held a knock-out cup competition between 1977 and the 1997 season known as the NSL Cup.
Between 1984 and 2004 National Youth League ran in conjunction with the NSL as a national youth developmental and reserve league.
Ban Houayxay (), also (Ban) Huoeisay, (Ban) Houei Sai or (Ban) Huay Xai and , is the capital of the Lao province of Bokèo, on the border with Thailand.
The Fourth Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge at Ban Houayxay, which opened in December 2013 and replaced ferry service across the river, is now the northernmost road border crossing between the two countries.
Asian Highway 3, which runs through Ban Houayxay, extends north to Yunnan Province of China and south to Chiang Rai Province of Thailand.
Probably the most popular means of transport are boats (speed and slow boats, freighters, luxury cruisers for tourists and others) running down the Mekong to Pakbeng, Luang Prabang and other destinations.
Stryfe is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, most commonly in association with the superhero team X-Force.
A woman introducing herself as Askani appears to Cyclops and Jean Grey from the distant future after their infant son, Nathan Summers, is infected with a techno-organic virus by the immortal mutant Apocalypse and tells them that she can save the child.
Stryfe grows into a murderously decadent brat with no regard for life who is both terminally bored by having his every desire catered and extremely lonely at having no real company aside from Apocalypse and Ch'vayre (Apocalypse's second in command).
Years later, as Apocalypse is about to transfer his essence into Stryfe, he discovers that Stryfe is in fact a clone, thus unfit to house his essence.
A teenage Nathan and the time-traveling Cyclops and Jean confront Apocalypse, leaving him unable to transfer into any host body, thus causing his essence to discorporate.
Stryfe grows up to be an embittered madman, wanting vengeance on both what he thought were his real parents (Cyclops and Jean) and his spiritual parent Apocalypse.
He raises an army and for years became a fierce opponent of both Cable (Nathan Summers) and his Clan Chosen, and the New Canaanites, a despotic regime that replaced Apocalypse's.
Stryfe reveals to Cable much later in the present era that during this period in their life, he raped Aliya Dayspring (Cable's wife who Stryfe had grown to desire) at one point by pretending to be Cable and so the father of Tyler Dayspring could be Stryfe and not Cable.
In 3806, the New Canaanites take full control of the planet, but Stryfe manages to travel back in time two-thousand years.
In Japan, he fights Cable and clashes with the New Mutants, who thwart his attempt to poison the water supplies of major cities.
Stryfe abandons his Antarctic Mutant Liberation Front base during an invasion by X-Force (a team composed of Cable and several former New Mutants).
Stryfe then has the Mutant Liberation Front free the captive mutants Hairbag and Slab, and turns them over to Mister Sinister before ordering an MLF attack on a clinic.
Stryfe sows chaos in the ranks of the X-Men, posing as Cable and shooting Professor X with an infected bullet, and taking Cyclops and Jean Grey captive.
As a final insurance, Stryfe gives Mister Sinister a canister that he claims holds genetic material from two-thousand years worth of Summers's descendants; in truth, it holds the deadly Legacy Virus.
Stryfe is opposed by Cable and Nate Grey, and at first beats them easily, even going as far as to siphon off all of Nate's power.
Madelyne Pryor appears to join forces with Stryfe, but secretly steals the psionic energy from Stryfe and gives it back to Nate.
He uses them to hunt down Lady Deathstrike, who holds the complete codes for all the Sentinels in her cybernetic systems.
Later, Stryfe experiences a personal existential crisis and becomes depressed at the futility of his efforts over the years after the X-Men finally manage to cure the Legacy Virus, which Stryfe considered to be his life's work and the one permanent victory he had against Cable, his parents Scott and Jean, and the rest of the X-Men.
He hunts down Bishop who is possessed by the entity La Bete Noir, whose power rivals the Phoenix Force and threatens to consume Bishop's body and unleash its evil upon the universe.
However, Stryfe ultimately regrets the path he took and the choices he has made in his life (stemming from his perpetual identity crisis as a clone), frees Bishop from the entity and sacrifices himself to save the Earth from La Bete Noir.
Stryfe somehow survives and reappears in the future when he is discovered by Bishop, who has been traveling through time in an attempt to kill Hope Summers.
This was confirmed by the writer Christopher Yost to be the same Stryfe that had previously plagued the X-Men, mentioning in particular his survival of his fight against Nate Grey and Cable.
Cable and Hope travel further into the future, X-Force return to the present, and Apocalypse drags Stryfe away, intending to use him as a new host body for his essence.
Stryfe explains to Bishop how he wants him to suffer after he betrayed him during Messiah War and claims that he was imprisoned and tortured by Apocalypse for years until he planned a successful escape and killed him.
Stryfe tries to corrupt Hope by making her give in to her feelings of hatred towards Bishop, convincing her to take revenge and murder Bishop although he is shackled and refuses to fight back out of remorse.
Hope sees that Stryfe is trying to undo the lessons which Cable taught her and refuses to kill Bishop but she does severely injure him.
Stryfe is defeated by Cable and both X-Force teams, but before escaping he telepathically forces Hope to mimic his vast and nearly uncontrollable psionic power in the hope that she will destroy her friends.
Stryfe is a clone of the mutant Cable and, as a result, possesses Cable's natural vast psionic abilities of telepathy and telekinesis.
However, these abilities are far more powerful than the ones Cable has generally displayed in the main continuity, sufficient to block the use of Cyclops and Jean Grey's superhuman powers.
Therefore, he does not have to constantly expend his abilities to keep the virus from consuming his body, which apparently was a huge drain on Cable's capabilities.
Stryfe can use his psionic abilities in a variety of ways such as moving large objects with his mind, reading minds, mind control, telepathically negating and activating the use of other's powers, telepathic camouflage, telekinetic flight, telekinetic force fields, mind transference and telekinetic blasts.
Stryfe also has far more control over his massive psionic abilities than Cable or Nate Grey, apparently from having a whole lifetime of experience of learning how to use his powers which his alternate counterparts never had.
Stryfe also possessed other abilities through genetic manipulation similar to those that Cable achieved through cybernetic augmentation, including superhuman strength and durability.
He has used various advanced weaponry and technology from the 39th century of his alternate future, including his time-vortex field generator.
He appears to be a mutant supremacist convinced that Professor X was killed by the United States government and that mutants should fight against the government.
However, when Psylocke scans his mind she senses that he has no real conviction in what he says, suggesting that much of his mutant supremacist attitude is an act, meaning his real motives are unknown.
It is revealed that Stryfe is actually a con man, working with Fenris to promote mutant unrest so they can sell Sentinels to the government.
Stryfe is a younger, corrupt General, who alongside Cable and J. Edgar Hoover hire Wade Wilson (who in this timeline is a former CIA man, turned merc) to get back a stolen nuclear briefcase.
Vaughn Wilton Monroe (October 7, 1911 – May 21, 1973) was an American baritone singer, trumpeter, big band leader, actor, and businessman, who was most popular in the 1940s and 1950s.
It sold more than one million copies by 1952, becoming Monroe's first million-seller, and was awarded a gold disc by the RIAA.
While their musical focus was largely romantic ballads, in person, the band had a fiercely swinging side only occasionally captured on record.
He was a major stockholder in RCA and appeared in print ads and television commercials for the company's television and audio products.
After leaving the performing end of show business, he remained with RCA for many years as a television spokesperson, executive, and talent scout.
He was awarded two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one for recording at 1600 Vine Street and one for radio at 1755 Vine Street in Hollywood, California.
They did not date during high school, but became romantically inclined toward each other when their paths crossed again in New York City, twelve years after graduation.
Monroe died on May 21, 1973 at Martin County Memorial Hospital in Florida, shortly after having stomach surgery for a bleeding ulcer.
The Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
These tables can be used to examine the genotypical outcome probabilities of the offspring of a single trait (allele), or when crossing multiple traits from the parents.
Phenotypes may be predicted with at least better-than-chance accuracy using a Punnett square, but the phenotype that may appear in the presence of a given genotype can in some instances be influenced by many other factors, as when polygenic inheritance and/or epigenetics are at work.
For example, using 'A' as the representative character for each allele, a homozygous dominant pair's genotype would be depicted as 'AA', while homozygous recessive is shown as 'aa'.
This is equivalent to stating that the genes are not linked, so that the two genes do not tend to sort together during meiosis.
Since dominant traits mask recessive traits (assuming no epistasis), there are nine combinations that have the phenotype round yellow, three that are round green, three that are wrinkled yellow, and one that is wrinkled green.
The genotypic ratio was obtained in the diagram below, this diagram will have more branches than if only analyzing for phenotypic ratio.
Other ships capable of carrying (stored in deep magazines) or deploying these weapons were , , and , they were transferred to various Royal Fleet Auxiliary ships with their specialist magazines.
She was North East of East Falkland, having just taken part (or just completing) a 'Vertrep' ('Vertical Replenishment'... a helicopter stores transfer) and / or 'RAS' (Replenishment at Sea) with the 'SS Atlantic Conveyor' (with whom she had been sailing the same track with all day), when the 'Air Raid Warning Red Alarm' sounded, and the two ships took evasive action.
'RFA Regent' carried on supplying the Task Force until the third week of August, becoming one of the longest serving ships that took part in the Conflict.
She eventually arrived back in the UK at (Rosyth, in Scotland) on 15 September, after 148 days at sea, and replenishing most of the ships in the RN at least once.
In principle, mendicant religious orders own little property, either individually or collectively, and in many instances members have taken a vow of poverty, in order that all their time and energy could be expended on practicing their respective faith, preaching and serving society.
Many religious orders adhere to a mendicant way of life, including the Catholic mendicant orders, Hindu ascetics, some Sufi dervishes of Islam, and the monastic orders of Jainism and Buddhism.
While mendicants are the original type of monks in Buddhism and have a long history in Indian Hinduism and the countries which adapted Indian religious traditions, they did not become widespread in Christianity until the High Middle Ages.
This is later expanded upon in Luke’s Acts of the Apostles, where it allows them to be understood by anybody regardless of the language of the person being spoken to.
Early 1st Century New Testament figures such as John the Baptist and Paul of Tarsus were also known for extensively traveling and preaching the Gospel to unreached peoples in the Middle East and Europe, although often staying for longer periods than modern itinerant evangelists.
In the Rule of Saint Benedict, Benedict of Nursia referred to such traveling monks as gyrovagues, and accused them both of indulging their wills, and of being particularly subject to the sin of gluttony.
In the early 13th century, the Catholic Church would see a revival of mendicant activity, as followers of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Dominic begged for food while they preached to the villages.
Itinerant preachers that belonged to mendicant orders traveled from town to town to preach the Gospel, consciously modeling themselves after Jesus and the Twelve Disciples.
While many Buddhist communities formulated limited forms of labor for monks, there also exists the understanding that a Buddhist monk must remain aloof from secular affairs.
Buddhist literature details the code of behavior and livelihood for monks and nuns, including several details on how mendicancy is to be practiced.
Similar to the development of Buddhism in China, the Japanese did not frequently engage in alms round as was done in the Buddha's time.
The LCHs have a maximum payload of 180 tons; equivalent to 3 Leopard 1 tanks, 13 M113 armored personnel carriers 23 quarter-tonne trucks, or four LARC-V amphibious cargo vehicles.
The vessel's payload affects the range: at 175 tons of cargo, each vessel has a range of , which increases to with a 150-ton payload, and when unladen.
The House of the Dead is a first-person light gun shooter arcade game with a horror theme, released by Sega in Japan on September 13, 1996, and later internationally on March 4, 1997.
First-aid packs are available throughout the game which restore one point of health; some can be obtained from rescued hostages, while others are hidden inside certain breakable objects.
Throughout the course of the game, players are faced with numerous situations in which their action (or inaction) will have an effect on the direction of gameplay.
This is exemplified in the opening stage of the game when a hostage is about to be thrown from the bridge to his death.
If the player saves the hostage, they will enter the house directly through the front door; however, if the player fails to rescue the hostage, the character is redirected to an underground route through the sewers.
If the player rescues all hostages, a secret room full of lives and bonuses is revealed toward the end of the game.
While supported by the DBR Corporation and its own team of scientists, Curien's behavior becomes more erratic and his experiments take a gruesome turn.
On December 18, 1998, AMS Agent Thomas Rogan receives a distress call from his fiancée Sophie Richards from the Curien Mansion.
In the third ending, a far view of the mansion is shown and Sophie is absent (leaving it unknown if she survived or not).
The team saw people in their 20s and 30s as their target audience, and hoped that the game would primarily be experienced as a two-player game.
The developers wanted to have a more complex system of path branches, and to have the system impact the game's story, but eventually realized these ideas were too ambitious to fulfill within the time allotted to make the game.
Anticipating that foreign markets, particularly Germany, would require the violence be toned down, they built in an option for operators to change the color of the game's blood, with green, purple, and blue available in addition to the traditional red.
They also cut a female zombie from the game because they felt she looked too much like a normal elderly woman, which could provoke controversy given that the player is encouraged to shoot the zombies.
The Chariot was animated by using motion capture with an actor wielding a broom, but the other enemies were all animated manually, using motion capture for reference only.
In late 1997 Sega confirmed that work had begun on a port to Sega Saturn, as an early version had been delivered to them.
The port was handled by Tantalus Interactive and released in 1998, with a port to Windows (PC-CD) by Sega arriving the same year.
Because Hiarcs is written portable in C, it is available on multiple platforms such as Pocket PC, Palm OS, PDAs, iOS, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
HIARCS opening book authors over time were Eric Hallsworth, Sebastian Böhme and Harvey Williamson, who is also operating HIARCS regularly at various computer chess tournaments.
Since Version 14, released in August 2012, HIARCS has been sold along with its own GUI (Chess Explorer) available on Mac OS X and Windows.
In April 1997, HIARCS 6.0 became the first PC chess program to win a match played at tournament time controls over a FIDE International Master.
It is the top handheld on the SSDF rating list, and was considered the strongest engine in a comprehensive review of 63 handheld chess programs.
In December 2007, HIARCS won the 17th International Paderborn Computer Chess Championship, and after the disqualification of Rybka, HIARCS was placed first at the 2008 World Computer Chess Championship.
Pocket Fritz 4 (which uses the HIARCS chess engine) won the Copa Mercosur (a category 6 tournament) in Buenos Aires, Argentina with 9 wins and 1 draw on August 4–14, 2009, achieving a performance rating of 2898 while running on the HTC Touch HD mobile phone.

It is a high visibility journal, and is indexed in Science Citation Index (SCI), Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE; Web of Science), and Journal Citation Reports (JCR)/Science Edition, along with many other databases such as SCOPUS.
A story arc (also narrative arc) is an extended or continuing storyline in episodic storytelling media such as television, comic books, comic strips, boardgames, video games, and films with each episode following a dramatic arc.
Webcomics are more likely to use story arcs than newspaper comics, as most web comics have readable archives online that a newcomer to the strip can read in order to understand what is going on.
Short story arcs are easier to package as trade paperbacks for resale, and more accessible to the casual reader than the never-ending continuity that once characterised US comics.
The purpose of a story arc is to move a character or a situation from one state to another; in other words, to effect change.
This change or transformation often takes the form of either a tragic fall from grace or a reversal of that pattern.
One common form in which this reversal is found is a character going from a situation of weakness to one of strength.
For example, a poor woman goes on adventures and in the end makes a fortune for herself, or a lonely man falls in love and marries.
Story arcs in contemporary drama often follow the pattern of bringing a character to a low point, removing the structures the character depends upon, and then forcing the character to find new strength without those structures.
In a story arc, the character undergoes substantial growth or change, which culminates in the denouement in the last third or quarter of a story.
However, the rise of DVD retail and DVR of television series has worked in arc-based productions' favor as the standard season collection format allows the viewer to have easy access to the relevant episodes.
Arc-based series draw and reward dedicated viewers, and fans of a particular show follow and discuss different story arcs independently from particular episodes.
Story arcs are sometimes split into subarcs, if deemed significant by fans, making it easy to refer to certain episodes if their production order titles are unknown.
Manga and anime are usually good examples of arc-based stories, to the point that most series shorter than twenty-six chapters are a single arc spanning all the chapters.
This makes syndication difficult, as episodes watched in isolation often confuse viewers unless watched in conjunction with the series as a whole.
Sir William Lamond Allardyce, (14 November 1861 – 10 June 1930) was a career British civil servant in the Colonial Office who served as governor of Fiji (1901–1902), the Falkland Islands (1904–1914), Bahamas (1914–1920), Tasmania (1920–1922), and Newfoundland (1922–1928).
Educated in Aberdeen, Scotland and at Oxford Military College, at the age of 18, he joined the British Civil Service in the Colonial Office.
Allardyce first posting was Fiji where only two years after arriving there he was named acting Resident Commissioner for the island of Rotuma.
The following year as magistrate and seven years later he was appointed to the Native Regulation Board and made the commissioner of the Supreme Court.
Allardyce then became governor of Tasmania but retired after only two years—taking the last three months as leave—as a result of his failure to obtain an increase in his salary of £2750.
In fact, a statement made to the Parliament of Tasmania on his salary and allowances was followed by a vote by the Legislative Assembly to abolish his office, although the same motion was defeated in the Legislative Council.
Allardyce was subsequently ordered to Newfoundland where he was to succeed Sir Charles Alexander Harris as Governor of Newfoundland, where he was invited to become patron of the Great War Veterans Association.
He was the official Crown representative of the unveiling of the National War Memorial by Field Marshal the Earl Haig on 1 July 1924.
Allardyce as governor was a key promoter in the decision awarding jurisdiction over most of the Labrador Peninsula to Newfoundland by the British Privy Council.
In 1916 Allardyce was made a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael St George by King George V. He was advanced to Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George in 1927.
In 1923, Lady Allardyce helped start the Girl Guide movement in Newfoundland, and then in 1924, she established the Newfoundland Outport Nursing and Industrial Association (NONIA).
Allardyce was noted as one of the most competent administrators ever appointed by the Colonial Office to serve as the official representative of the British Crown in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The fronds are dimorphic, with the deciduous green sterile fronds being almost vertical, tall and broad, long-tapering to the base but short-tapering to the tip, so that they resemble ostrich plumes, hence the name.
The fertile fronds are shorter, long, brown when ripe, with highly modified and constricted leaf tissue curled over the sporangia; they develop in autumn, persist erect over the winter and release the spores in early spring.
It is a crown-forming, colony-forming plant, occurring in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere in central and northern Europe, northern Asia, and northern North America.
While choosing a place of planting it should be taken into account that this fern is very expansive and its leaves often lose their beauty throughout the summer, especially if not protected from wind and hail.
The tightly wound immature fronds, called fiddleheads, are also used as a cooked vegetable, and are considered a delicacy mainly in rural areas of northeastern North America.
Archbishop Chapelle High School was founded in 1962 by the Archdiocese of New Orleans and was named after Archbishop Placide Louis Chapelle, the first Archbishop of New Orleans in the eighteenth century.
In addition to traditional secondary school classes, Chapelle also offers include fine arts courses, drama, publications studies (including yearbook and newspaper), family and consumer studies, business courses (including computer studies and accounting), and religion.
Some clubs available are Ambassadors, French Club, Intramural Sports, Key Club, Matthew 25 Service Program, Mu Alpha Theta, National Art Honor Society, National Honor Society, National Junior Beta Club, National Spanish Honor Society, Student Council, and Varsity Quiz Bowl.
Eurabia is a political neologism, a portmanteau of Europe and Arabia, used to describe an Islamophobic conspiracy theory, involving globalist entities allegedly led by French and Arab powers, to Islamise and Arabise Europe, thereby weakening its existing culture and undermining a previous alignment with the U.S. and Israel.
According to the theory, the blame rests with a range of groups including communists, fascists, the media, universities, mosques and Islamic cultural centres, European bureaucrats, and the Euro-Arab Dialogue.
The term has gained some public interest and has been used and discussed across a wide range of the political spectrum, including right-wing activists, counter-jihadis and different sorts of anti-Islamic, and conservative activists.
It gained renewed interest after the 9/11 events and the use of the term by 2011 Norway attacker, Anders Behring Breivik.
Eurabia is also discussed in classical anti-Europeanism, a strong influence in the culture of the United States and in the notion of American exceptionalism, which sometimes sees Europe on the decline or as a rising rival power, or, as is the case here, both.
During the 1973 oil crisis, the European Economic Community (predecessor of the European Union), had entered into the Euro-Arab Dialogue (EAD) with the Arab League.
Ye'or says it as a primary cause of alleged European hostility to Israel, referring to joint Euro-Arab foreign policies that she characterises as anti-American and anti-Zionist.
The term is often used by the writers Oriana Fallaci, Mark Steyn and several web sites, many of them affiliated with the counterjihad movement.
An important part of the narrative is the idea of a demographic threat, the fear that, at some time in the future, Islam will take over Europe.
While immigrants were being deemed a threat, in the postwar 1940s period, the British extreme right in particular, fascist politician Oswald Mosley were rather outspoken (see the Union Movement and the Europe a Nation slogan) in favour of a stronger integration of Britain with Europe and, using their own interpretation of the Eurafrica concept, Africa.
The conservative historian Niall Ferguson referred to the concept, which he took as the potential future Islamisation of Europe based on demographic facts and ideational lack of the continent.
The slogan has become a basic theme in the European extremist and populist right and expresses as well a significant strategy change.
Significant alterations in the asserted positions of the political (far) right include a sudden focus on the rights of women and homosexuals.
This changed after the 2011 Norway attacks, which resulted in the publication of several works specifically treating the Eurabia conspiracy theories.
It is completely reasonable to assume that the overall Muslim population in Europe will increase, and Muslim citizens have and will have a significant imprint on European life.
The prospect of a homogeneous Muslim community per se, or a Muslim majority in Europe is however out of the question.
Specifically he has written that the Muslim population growth rate was lower than that predicted by Eurabia, partly because the fertility rate of immigrants declines with integration.
He further points out that Muslims are not a monolithic or cohesive group, and that many Muslims do seek to integrate politically and socially.
Furthermore, leading European Muslims are rather outspoken against religious fundamentalism and are far from acknowledging Arab countries as a role model at all.
Journalist Simon Kuper has argued that, with over 1 million copies sold, Sarrazin had done more to publicize the concept of Eurabia more than anybody else in Europe.
In the aftermath of the shooting, Speroni confirmed his agreement with Breivik on the conspiracy theory in an interview with Radio 24.
In May 2019, ahead of the European elections, Lega Nord leader for Sarzana claimed that both the European People's Party and the Party of European Socialists were attempting to bring about Eurabia.
He insisted that a state of Eurabia had already occurred in Sweden, a claim which the Swedish embassy promptly denied with an official statement.
Despite alleging that writer had already coined the phrase, Amerongen faced severe peer and media criticism for endorsing the conspiracy theory.
A supporter of the conspiracy theory, Wilders believes Muslim immigration to Europe is being driven by an agreement between the European Union and Islamic countries.
Steyn's promotion of the conspiracy theory centres on European demographics, where he believes a culturally asserted Muslim mass will become the majority population and demand the assimilation of white Europeans.
In the United States, the theories have found strong proponents in the Islamophobia movement, among them the president of Stop Islamization of America, Robert Spencer and political commentator Daniel Pipes.
Eurabia theories have also been espoused by less typical conservatives, for example, Bruce Bawer, an American expatriate who has lived in Europe since the 1990s, and supported Ye'or's allegations that there was a deliberate, coordinated effort to create Eurabia.
Bawer argued that many European politicians and policy makers, in efforts to gain approval of Muslim voters or to appeal to multiculturalism, were effectively allowing the creation of Muslim-only enclaves where basic human rights were ignored and events like honor killings had become commonplace.
Ralph Peters has criticized the Eurabia narrative on the grounds that it is unlikely to happen as posited, citing the historical precedent of genocides frequently occurring in Europe, such as in the Balkans during the 1990s and the Holocaust during World War II.
Wu-liang Tsung-shou also supplemented the volume with a verse of four stanzas composed in 1230 about the three checkpoints of Zen master Huanglong.
The common theme of the koans of the Wumen Guan and of Wumen's comments is the inquiry and introspection of dualistic conceptualization.
Each koan epitomizes one or more of the polarities of consciousness that act like an obstacle or wall to the insight.
The student is challenged to transcend the polarity that the koan represents and demonstrate or show that transcendence to the Zen teacher.
As was customary in China at the time, an edition might have additions of text inserted by a subsequent owner or publisher.
The most well known version of the text is from the Japanese wood block edition made from the 1246 manuscript edition that contains the following sections.
As with the main koans, each caveat challenges the Zen student's attachment to dualistic concepts, here those especially related to Zen practice.
Hurt produced the first published artist concepts of the Trans-Neptunian object 90377 Sedna, from data obtained by the Spitzer Space Telescope.
Bradley John Wall (born November 24, 1965) is a Canadian former politician who served as the 14th Premier of Saskatchewan from November 21, 2007 until February 2, 2018.
Wall was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan as the Member of the Legislative Assembly for Swift Current in 1999, and re-elected in 2003, 2007, 2011, and 2016.
In the 2011 election, Wall's government won the third-largest majority in Saskatchewan's history, with 64.25% of the popular vote and 49 of the 58 seats in the legislature.
This marked the first time since 1925 that a party other than the Saskatchewan New Democratic Party, or its predecessor the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (Saskatchewan Section), had won a third consecutive majority mandate.
In doing so, he will become the first non-CCF/NDP Premier since 1935 to leave office for a reason other than losing a general election.
He attended University of Saskatchewan, and completed his post-secondary education with an honours degree in Public Administration and an advanced certificate in Political Studies.
Wall's political roots are in the Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan, working as a ministerial assistant to Graham Taylor, Minister of Public Participation, Tourism, Small Business, Co-operatives and Health, and John Gerich, Associate Minister of Economic Development.
In the early 1990s, Wall also managed a country music museum that was relocated to Swift Current from Kitchener, ON, following a significant grant from the Grant Devine government.
Wall has also sat on a number of boards including being a founding member of the Southwest Centre for Entrepreneurial Development.
Wall won the Saskatchewan Party nomination for Swift Current in the 1999 election and won handily, defeating NDP incumbent John Wall (no relation) by 69 points as part of a wave of rural victories that saw the NDP cut down to a minority government.
He was immediately appointed to the Saskatchewan Party's front bench as Justice Critic, and later became critic for the Crown Investments Corporation as well.
This policy review process reached its culmination at the Saskatchewan Party's annual convention in February 2005 and resulted in a considerably more moderate policy platform designed to appeal to urban voters.
In that election, the Saskatchewan Party won 38 of the 58 seats in the legislature, making Wall only the third centre-right premier in the province's history.
During Wall’s time as premier, the province experienced unprecedented population growth and, for most of his tenure, a strong economy buoyed by a robust oil, gas and potash sector.
From 2007-2017, Saskatchewan grew by more than 160,000 people or 16 per cent, the most growth in any 10 year period since the 1920s.
Wall is also credited with reducing Saskatchewan's surgical wait times from among the longest in Canada to among the shortest through the use of private surgical clinics within the public system.
Other accomplishments include doubling supports for people with disabilities, tripling the income assistance program for low income seniors and removing 114,000 low-income people from the tax rolls completely through some of the largest income tax in the province's history.
Noted for his quick wit and folksy charm, Wall led opinion polls as the most popular premier in Canada for almost the entirety of his tenure.
In June 2013, Wall attended the Bilderberg Conference, an annual private conference of approximately 120 to 140 invited influential guests from North America and Europe.
After the Justin Trudeau government introduced the carbon tax in 2016, Brad Wall and Saskatchewan was alone in its opposition to the tax, saying it would harm competitiveness while doing little to combat emissions.
However, now several premiers and many across Canada stand in strong opposition to the tax with many giving credit to Wall for being the first to take a stand.
However, his leadership was called into question at the end of January 2006 when MLA Brenda Bakken-Lackey resigned from the party.
In the Saskatchewan Legislature's spring 2006 session, NDP MLAs revealed that Wall had worked in Gerich's office at the time when $15,000 worth of alcohol was misallocated to the Minister's office.
Wall was also on the video using an exaggerated Ukrainian accent, making racist derogatory statements about former NDP Premier Roy Romanow.
In 2015, Brad Wall was named in a lawsuit against himself, Rob Norris, the former Minister of Advanced Education, and the University of Saskatchewan and its Board of Governors for the controversial firing of the President, Ilene Busch-Vishniac, after the Provost, Brett Fairbairn, fired an executive director at the university and ended his tenure for openly criticizing the university's leadership.
In 2017, Wall raised the story of a member of the Saskatchewan NDP who had been sexually assaulted in Question Period in response to a question about the Global Transportation Hub land deal.
The story was raised without the consent of the victim, and Wall was criticized for politicising the issue of sexual assault.
In 2017, Wall addressed a room of Saskatchewan Party members at a nomination meeting, where he recited a joke about the execution of Métis leader Louis Riel, who was captured and executed by the Canadian government in 1885 following the Battle of Batoche.
He is married to Tami whom he met in 1984 when they were both students at the University of Saskatchewan, and married in 1991.
On May 1, 2018 Wall announced he would begin working as an advisor for the Calgary law firm Osler, Hoskin and Harcourt LLP.
The control of ventilation refers to the physiological mechanisms involved in the control of breathing, which is the movement of air into and out of the lungs.
Respiration refers to the utilization of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide by the body as a whole, or by individual cells in cellular respiration.
The most important function of breathing is the supplying of oxygen to the body and the removal of its waste product of carbon dioxide.
The peripheral chemoreceptors that detect changes in the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide are located in the arterial aortic bodies and the carotid bodies.
Central chemoreceptors are primarily sensitive to changes in the pH in the blood, (resulting from changes in the levels of carbon dioxide) and they are located on the medulla oblongata near to the medullar respiratory groups of the respiratory center.
From the respiratory center, the muscles of respiration, in particular the diaphragm, are activated to cause air to move in and out of the lungs.
The respiratory centre in the medulla and pons of the brainstem controls the rate and depth of respiration, (the respiratory rhythm), through various inputs.
These include signals from the peripheral chemoreceptors and central chemoreceptors; from the vagus nerve and glossopharyngeal nerve carrying input from the pulmonary stretch receptors, and other mechanoreceptors in the lungs.
), social communication causes speech, song and whistling, while entirely voluntary overrides are used to blow out candles, and breath holding (to swim, for instance, underwater).
Hyperventilation may be entirely voluntary or in response to emotional agitation or anxiety, when it can cause the distressing hyperventilation syndrome.
Ventilatory rate (respiratory minute volume) is tightly controlled and determined primarily by blood levels of carbon dioxide as determined by metabolic rate.
These levels are sensed by central chemoreceptors on the surface of the medulla oblongata for increased pH (indirectly from the increase in CSF of carbon dioxide), and the peripheral chemoreceptors in the arterial blood for oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Levels of CO rise in the blood when the metabolic use of O, and the production of CO is increased during, for example, exercise.
The CO in the blood is transported largely as bicarbonate (HCO) ions, by conversion first to carbonic acid (HCO), by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, and then by disassociation of this acid to H and HCO.
Build-up of CO therefore causes an equivalent build-up of the disassociated hydrogen ions, which, by definition, decreases the pH of the blood.
The pH sensors on the brain stem immediately sense to this fall in pH, causing the respiratory center to increase the rate and depth of breathing.
During very short-term bouts of intense exercise the release of lactic acid into the blood by the exercising muscles causes a fall in the blood plasma pH, independently of the rise in the PCO2, and this will stimulate pulmonary ventilation sufficiently to keep the blood pH constant at the expense of a lowered PCO2.
The tone of respiratory muscle is believed to be modulated by muscle spindles via a reflex arc involving the spinal cord.
Opioids and anesthetics tend to depress ventilation, by decreasing the normal response to raised carbon dioxide levels in the arterial blood.
Receptors play important roles in the regulation of respiration and include the central and peripheral chemoreceptors, and pulmonary stretch receptors, a type of mechanoreceptor.
It also subjected him to brainwashing in order to bring out his most basic murderous instincts and to transform him into the perfect assassin.
Wolverine's solo series issues #48-50 (1992) revealed that Project X also created fabricated memories in the minds of several of its subjects.
Some of the work of Weapon X was based on the experiments detailed on the journals of Nazi scientist Nathan Essex, which were obtained by Weapon Plus after the end of World War II.
The project's original test subjects were the members of Team X, a covert ops CIA team (consisting of Wolverine/Logan, Sabretooth/Victor Creed, Maverick/Christoph Nord, Silver Fox, Mastodon, Major Arthur Barrington, Psi-Borg/Aldo Ferro, Wildcat/Noel Higgins and Kestrel/John Wraith).
What Wolverine and his fellow X-Men ignored for many years is that Weapon X was part of a larger program called Weapon Plus, a United States super-soldier program created in the 1940s with the purpose of creating super-soldiers and assassins not only to be employed in conventional wars, but also to be employed for the extermination of mutants.
What the Weapon X scientists did not foresee is that the experimentation on Wolverine would cause him to go on a murderous rampage, which allowed the escape of the other test subjects, and caused the death of Dale Rice, among dozens of other members of Weapon X staff, both scientists and military.
Subsequent attempts at recreating the success seen by Weapon X with Wolverine include Native, Kimura and X-23 (the 23rd attempt to clone Wolverine who was designed to also hunt down rogue agents).
The batch produced many additional failures, which were sent to a facility for dissection to determine the cause of their failures.
A smaller experiment was later developed by Department K with a New Zealand terrorist (who would become the third individual to be known as Weapon X) merging him with Thetagen-24: the most dangerous lethal symbiotic bacterial colony ever created.
Typhoid Mary was also a subject, when she was captured by an Antarctic facility continuing research for the Weapon X Project, specifically the mental faculties of the mutant mind.
Colcord, once a security guard at the first Weapon X project, suffered severe facial lacerations during an escape attempt by the mutant Wolverine.
Unlike the previous two installments of Weapon X, the third Project was completely U.S.-based and focused not only on the creation of living weapons, but also on the ultimate goal of Colcord, the creation of death camps.
He soon begins using its resources for the capturing and imprisonment of mutants in the secret government death camp called Neverland.
Mutants who are not suitable to be used as military weapons would be executed, while those that are suitable are given the choice to join Weapon X or die.
A number of mutants, such as Cecilia Reyes, Maggott, Ape, Tarbaby, Leech and many others were arrested by Weapon X's agents and sent to Neverland.
Those mutants deemed useless to the project were killed in gas chambers, while others were brainwashed to become Weapon X operatives.
Later on, Deadpool went rogue and new operatives were recruited into Weapon X, many of whom had their powers enhanced or were brainwashed into servitude.
Maverick was saved from certain death and his powers were enhanced with the purpose of assassinating Wolverine, thus Agent Zero was created.
Sauron's personality was merged with that of his Karl Lykos self and his energy-draining powers enhanced so he could fire energy blasts.
Aurora was kidnapped and brainwashed, like Madison Jeffries, who was extracted from the terrorist group known as the Zodiac and used to create hundreds of Boxbots loyal to Weapon X to serve as guards at Neverland.
Mesmero joins willingly, while Reaper and Wildside (former members of the Mutant Liberation Front) became agents of the program in exchange for their lives.
As Windsor, Mister Sinister supposedly helped some mutants escape from Neverland, but he was only taking them to his own secret labs.
After some time, Brent Jackson (the only human officially on the team) took over as Director, during a mutiny by the team in conjunction with an attack by mutants from the Underground.
Washout and Garrison Kane died in the event, while Sabretooth was washed away into the sewers after a battle with Marrow.
Marrow used the battle to escape from Weapon X, eventually taking over the Mutant Underground, now reformed as the third incarnation of Gene Nation.
Director Brent Jackson's team consisted of Wildchild, Sauron, Agent Zero, Mesmero, Jack-in-the-Box, and newly recruited Chamber, whose face was restored by the program's scientists.
Records of the massive executions are discovered by Beast in the storyline, which also hints that some of the bodies of the prisoners executed prior to M-Day were sent to Ord and used in the research to develop the cure for mutation.
It is shown that the Weapon X Project is turning civilians into cyborgs made of Adamantium sent to hunt a specific group of mutants, forcing Old Man Logan to team up with Sabretooth to stop them.
Old Man Logan and his allies alongside Amadeus Cho's Hulk form discover that Weapon X has been experimenting on humans by grafting the DNA of Wolverine and Hulk into them while also applying Adamantium to their bones.
In addition, it is shown that the director of the latest incarnation of the Weapon X Project is a somehow-revived William Stryker.
Unfortunately, Dr. Aliana Alba lost control of it even when Amadeus Cho's Hulk form joins the battle while William Stryker and Dr. Alba get away.
Following the fierce battle, H-Alpha flees causing Old Man Logan's group to go after it before the Weapon X Project plans to regain control of it.
She then stated to the controlled H-Alpha that he has a killer instinct where he is to kill anyone that the Weapon X Project wants him to kill.
As Old Man Logan's group faces off against H-Alpha, X-23's Wolverine appearance was able to free Weapon H from Dr. Alba's control enabling Weapon H to leave the area so that he can remember who he was.
Following Professor Charles Xavier repurposed Krakoa into a sovereign nation state for mutants, he made sure all shadow agencies around the world were defunded and disbanded, Weapon X among them.
However some remnants of those agencies appears to have gathered together and established Xeno a global organization with ties to anti-mutant politicians and business leaders all the while dedicated to bioengineering themselves into weapons.
The Xeno's operatives then grafted her skin to their genetically altered soldiers who were successful in bypass Krakoa's security protocols and assassinated Professor X.
An expanded version of the story has been produced by writer Marc Cerasini and published by Pocket Star Books in 2004.
The series began in 2002 and quickly gained critical praise for its use of minor characters as well as reviving characters such as Cable, who at the time wasn't featured in a monthly title.
Frank Tieri was forced to drop nearly all of his subplots, including the introduction of a mutant concentration camp run by Mr. Sinister that featured many popular B-List mutant characters, and take the book into the controversial direction involving the introduction of X-23, and Wolverine and Sabretooth's quest to find the recently revived John Sublime.
The new direction failed to catch on, mainly due to the books' over-exposure of Wolverine and the drastic change in tone of the book, and was cancelled with all of its storylines unresolved.
Dead Man Wade, the AoA counterpart of Deadpool, did not receive his healing factor from the Weapon X program but from Apocalypse, apparently after Apocalypse dismantled the program, and became part of Apocalypse's elite assassin trio dubbed the 'Pale Riders'.
To return home, they have been forced to jump from reality to reality, repairing the broken links in the chain of time.
At the time, the membership of Weapon X consisted of Sabretooth (Victor Creed of the Age of Apocalypse, the father figure of the Exiles' leader Blink), Deadpool and Garrison Kane.
The six chose the name 'Weapon X' due to their common ties to the Project in their native timelines, although, save for Sabretooth, the background of all the other members are a mystery.
The Exiles completed the mission without realizing the existence of Weapon X, but the Weapon X trio saw the Exiles and their leader, Blink.
The next time the team was seen, Angel (now a gun-toting assassin) replaced Iron Man and the team leader was now Gambit instead of Sabretooth.
These two, along with Gambit, tried to stop Hyperion, the Spider and Ms. Marvel when they decided to abandon their mission and rule a world.
They failed, and the next mission given to both the Exiles and Weapon X was to kill enough members of each team so that there would be only six survivors in total.
sometime before or during the Gulf War to capture mutants and force them to carry out covert missions for the US Government.
The lineup included, at times, Wolverine, Sabretooth, Rogue, Juggernaut, Nightcrawler, and the rest of the original Ultimate X-Men, for a short time after the program invaded Xavier's mansion and took them captive.
Weapon X then turned their attention to a former Mountie and Marine named Guy Desjardins, who was brainwashed and subjected to the adamantium bonding process.
Instead of claws, Desjardins manifested adamantium spikes that permanently protruded from his forehands (as 616-Logan's claws were the result of his mutation) and elbows.
The experiment broke Guy's mind causing him to become fierce and go on a killing spree in the Weapon X facility.
Unfortunately, this was ineffective because when Weapon X was released from the drugs, he went on a killing spree until the Weapon X soldiers drugged him once more.
When The Flight arrived, Stitch tried to use her powers on Guy Desjardins' harness only to be impaled by Guy Desjardins's adamantium spikes.
When Smart Alec suggests that they call in the Avengers for help, Dr. James Hudson tells them that Department H cut off their communication when The Flight left and that it would take the Avengers too long to get to Canada.
This was partially successful where his body managed to compensate for the loss of adrenaline where Smart Alec was killed in the process.
When the remaining members pursued Guy Desjardins to Calgary, Saint Elmo grabbed Guy Desjardins and carried him into the air only for Weapon X to knock him out and cause Saint Elmo to get impaled upon a church's cross.
Logan set out to hunt down Weapon X and discovered their ties with Department H. When Snowbird and Dr. James Hudson (wearing the Groundhog armor) were killed, Logan confronted Desjardins.
After Logan dove into the river to escape the soldiers, they thought he was dead when they found some of his blood.
Days later, a news report that was all over the news had exposed the existence of the Weapon X Project and their involvement in Desjardins' attack upon people as well as Department H's role in the creation of The Flight.
In a possible future, Wolverine attempts to hunt down the people involved in Weapon X, and discovers not only that they have been dead and gone for many decades, but also what may have been the very first subject of the project: his elder brother John Howlett, who he had been told died when he (Wolverine) was still just a baby.
In addition to having bone claws, enhanced senses and a healing factor, the elder Howlett appeared to have some kind of ethereal form which allowed him to phase through things and somehow conduct energy blasts.
John Howlett claimed that he was driven mad at first by his parents' seeming abandonment of him when his powers first manifested.
Had he been in his insane state of mind when he first encountered Wolverine, he claims he would likely have attempted to kill him.
The Moscow Manege () is an oblong building along the west side of Manege Square, which was cleared in the 1930s and lies adjacent to Red Square.
Designed by Spanish engineer Agustín de Betancourt with a roof without internal support for (the building's width), it was erected from 1817 to 1825 by the Russian architect Joseph Bové, who clothed it in its Neoclassical exterior, an order of Roman Doric columns enclosing bays of arch-headed windows in a blind arcade, painted white and cream yellow.
The 180 m long Manege was large enough to hold an entire infantry regiment—over two thousand soldiers— as well as an invited audience.
On 14 March 2004, the night of a Russian Presidential election in which Vladimir Putin was overwhelmingly re-elected for a second four-year term, the building caught fire and burnt down, killing two firefighters.
The official investigation concluded that a short-circuit caused the fire, though there was media speculation that a fire at such a historic building, only a stone's throw from the Kremlin, on the night of a Presidential election, may not have been coincidental.
On 18 February 2005 the restored Manege resumed its operation as an exhibition hall by mounting the same exposition that had been scheduled for the day of the fire.
Aryanism is an ideology of racial supremacy which views the supposed Aryan race as a distinct and superior racial group entitled to rule the rest of humanity.
Promoted initially by racist theorists such as Arthur de Gobineau and Houston Stewart Chamberlain, Aryanism reached its peak of influence in Nazi Germany, where it was used to justify discrimination against minorities, which eventually culminated in the Holocaust.
The ideology of Nazism was based upon the conception of the ancient Aryan race being a superior race, holding the highest position in the racial hierarchy and that the Germanic peoples were the most racially pure existing peoples of Aryan stock.
The Nazi conception of the Aryan race arose from earlier proponents of a supremacist conception of the race as described by racial theorist figures such as Arthur de Gobineau and Houston Stewart Chamberlain.
Nazi racial theorist Hans F. K. Günther identified the European race as having five subtype races: Nordic, Mediterranean, Dinaric, Alpine, and East Baltic.
He provided photographs of Germans identified as Nordic in places like Baden, Stuttgart, Salzburg, and Schwaben; and provided photographs of Germans he identified as Alpine and Mediterranean types, especially in Vorarlberg, Bavaria, and the Black Forest region of Baden.
This association of Jews with the Armenoid type had been utilized by Zionist Jews who claimed that Jews were a group within that type.
He claimed that the Near Eastern race descended from the Caucasus in the fifth and fourth millennia BC, and that it had expanded into Asia Minor and Mesopotamia and eventually to the west coast of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.
Aside from ascribing Armenians and Jews as having Near Eastern characteristics, he ascribed them to several other contemporary peoples, including: Greeks, Turks, Syrians, and Iranians.
Günther added to that description of the Near Eastern type as being composed primarily of commercially spirited and artful traders, by claiming that the type held strong psychological manipulation skills that aided them in trade.
Exceptions were made for a small percentage of Slavs who were seen by the Nazis to be descended from German settlers and therefore fit to be Germanised to be considered part of the Aryan folk or nation.
Hitler declared that because Slavs were subhumans that the Geneva Conventions were not applicable to them, and German soldiers in World War II were thus permitted to ignore the Geneva Conventions in regards to Slavs.
Nazi Germany's ally the Independent State of Croatia rejected the common conception that Croats were primarily a Slavic people and claimed that Croats were primarily the descendants of the Germanic Goths.
Nazi Germany's policy changed towards Slavs in response to military manpower shortages, in which it accepted Slavs to serve in its armed forces within occupied territories, in spite of them being considered subhuman, as a pragmatic means to resolve such manpower shortages.
The Nazis viewed the downfall of the Roman Empire as being the result of the pollution of blood from racial intermixing, claiming that Italians were a hybrid of races, including black African races.
Hitler even mentioned his view of the presence of Negroid blood in the Mediterranean peoples during his first meeting with Mussolini in 1934.
Semitic peoples came to be seen as a foreign presence within Aryan societies, and the Semitic peoples were often pointed to as the cause of conversion and destruction of social order and values leading to culture and civilization's downfall by proto-Nazi theorists such as Houston Stewart Chamberlain.
They worked to maintain the purity of this race through eugenics programs (including anti-miscegenation legislation, compulsory sterilization of the mentally ill and the mentally deficient, the execution of the institutionalized mentally ill as part of a euthanasia program).
In this speech Mussolini was referring to Italians as being the Mediterranean branch of the Aryan race, Aryan in the meaning of people of an Indo-European language and culture.
Italian Fascism emphasized that race was bound by spiritual and cultural foundations, and identified a racial hierarchy based on spiritual and cultural factors.
The antipathy by Mussolini and other Italian Fascists to Nordicism was over the existence of what they viewed as the Mediterranean inferiority complex that they claimed had been instilled into Mediterraneans by the propagation of such theories by German and Anglo-Saxon Nordicists who viewed Mediterranean peoples as racially degenerate and thus in their view inferior.
However traditional Nordicist claims of Mediterraneans being degenerate due to having a darker colour of skin than Nordics had long been rebuked in anthropology through the depigmentation theory that claimed that lighter-skinned peoples had been depigmented from a darker skin, this theory has since become a widely accepted view in anthropology.
In 1934, in the aftermath of Austrian Nazis killing Austrian Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss, an ally of Italy, Mussolini became enraged and responded by angrily denouncing Nazism.
In 1936, Mussolini decided to launch a racial programme in Italy, and was interested in the racial studies being conducted by Giulio Cogni.
Cogni had travelled to Germany where he had become impressed by Nazi racial theory and sought to create his own version of racial theory.
Cogni declared the racial affinity of the Mediterranean and Nordic racial subtypes of the Aryan race and claimed that the intermixing of Nordic Aryans and Mediterranean Aryans in Italy produced a superior synthesis of Aryan Italians.
Cogni addressed the issue of racial differences between northern and southern Italians, declaring southern Italians were mixed between Aryan and non-Aryan races, that he claimed was most likely due to infiltration by Asiatic peoples in Roman times and later Arab invasions.
He would later change his idea and claim that Nordics and Southern Italians were closely related groups both racially and spiritually.
Initially Mussolini was not impressed with Cogni's work, however Cogni's ideas entered into the official Fascist racial policy several years later.
In 1938 Mussolini was concerned that if Italian Fascism did not recognize Nordic heritage within Italians, that the Mediterranean inferiority complex would return to Italian society.
Therefore, in summer 1938, the Fascist government officially recognized Italians as having Nordic heritage and being of Nordic-Mediterranean descent and in a meeting with PNF members, and in June 1938 in a meeting with PNF members, Mussolini identified himself as Nordic and declared that previous policy of focus on Mediterraneanism was to be replaced by a focus on Aryanism.
Many of the writers took up the traditional Nordicist claim that the decline and fall of the Roman Empire was due to the arrival of Semitic immigrants.
The Nordicist direction of Fascist racial policy was challenged in 1938 by a resurgence of the Mediterraneanist faction in the PNF.
By 1939, the Mediterraneanists' advocacy of a nativist racial theory that rejected ascribing the achievements of the Italian people to Nordic peoples.
Rellini rejected the notion of large-scale invasions of Italy by Nordic Aryans in the Eneolithic age, and claimed that Italians were an indigenous people descended from the Cro-Magnons.
However these efforts were challenged by Mussolini's endorsement of Nordicist figures with the appointment of staunch spiritual Nordicist Alberto Luchini as head of Italy's Racial Office in May 1941, as well as with Mussolini becoming interested in Julius Evola's spiritual Nordicism in late 1941.
The Council claimed that the obvious superiority of the ancient Greeks and Romans in comparison with the ancient Germanic tribes made it inconceivable that Italian culture owed a debt to ancient Aryan Germans.
It is believed that this proposed state would be able to attain world domination by combining the nuclear arsenals of the four major Aryan world powers, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Russia under a single military command.
The mission of Jesuit High School as a Catholic, college preparatory school is to develop in its students the competence, conscience, and compassion that will enable them to be men of faith and men for others.
Of the 286 seniors in the Class of 2018, 35 of them were named National Merit Semifinalists and eight were named in the National Hispanic Recognition Program.
Selective admission to Jesuit is based on previous academic performance, recommendations of teachers, principals, and/or church parish pastors, promise of future development, and the desire of the student to profit from the moral, spiritual, academic, and physical programs offered by the school.
In the long history of the school, no student has been refused admission because his family could not afford to pay all or part of the tuition.
For several years this program was mandatory for all students; the combination of Jesuit priests and Marine Corps JROTC instructors made the school's disciplinary system unique among American high schools.
Guest speakers at Assembly have included alumnus Jay Thomas, authors Pat Conroy, Tony Hillerman, Sister Helen Prejean, Orson Scott Card, Dana Gioia, and Chaim Potok, New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin, mayor and alumnus Marc Morial, actor Jim Caviezel, theologian George Weigel, Jesuit Superior General Peter Hans Kolvenbach, ESPN announcer Mike Tirico, theologian and U.S.
Marie of New Orleans (now the New Orleans Central Business District), a block upriver from the French Quarter, at the corner of Baronne and Common Streets.
In 1911, the high school and college divisions were split, and the college division relocated to St. Charles Avenue, eventually becoming Loyola University New Orleans.
The high school remained on Baronne Street until 1926, when it was moved to its current location at 4133 Banks Street in Mid-City.
In 1953 a wing was added along Palmyra Street; the addition included an auditorium, the Chapel of the North American Martyrs, a cafeteria, a library, several classrooms, and a band room.
Chris Fronk, S.J., on active duty as a U.S. Navy chaplain, would serve as the school's 30th president, and he assumed office in November 2016.
The 1946 athletic year yielded undefeated state champions in baseball, basketball, track and field, and football all coached by G. Gernon Brown.
In the 2004–2005 school year, Jesuit won state championships in baseball, cross country, soccer, tennis, wrestling, rugby, and swimming, and went to the state playoffs in football with an undefeated regular season.
In 2012 Jesuit built Ryan stadium, a state of the art facility accommodating football, baseball, and soccer on a field covered entirely with artificial turf.
Cross country: In 2005, Jesuit became the first 5A school in Louisiana history to win three state championships in a row in the sport of cross country.
The streak was broken in 2005 when the team, still feeling the effects of Hurricane Katrina, was only able to field 12 swimmers, yet managed to take second place, only a few points out of first.
In 1972 the Jesuit High School Blue Jays won the first of 18 State Championships under Coach Sam, including 11 in a row from 1988–1998.
And since that string-of-11 (ending in 1998) Jesuit has won 4 more state wrestling championships, with the last being in 2009.
Baseball: From 2007-09 Jesuit made it to the state tournament three times, and twice to the American Legion playoffs winning one championship.
Football: In football, Jesuit High School vs. Holy Cross High School is the oldest continuous high school rivalry in Louisiana and one of the oldest continuous high school football rivalries in the United States.
The first game was played in 1922 (Jesuit won by 52–0) and the two teams have played every year since (twice in 1963: once in regular season and another time for the state crown which Holy Cross won) Blue Jays vs. Tigers.
The Jesuit Blue Jays Football team went to the State Championship for the 2014 season and played against the John Curtis Patriots and for the first time since 1978 against St. Augustine.
Basketball: In February 1965, Jesuit's all-white basketball team played a secret game against St. Augustine, the city's all-male, all-black high school.
That same year, Jesuit won the 1965 Louisiana High School Athletic Association state championship in Class AAA (at the time the state's highest classification) while St. Augustine won the championship of the Louisiana Interscholastic and Literary Organization, the sanctioning body for the state's black schools.
In the fall of 1967, St. Augustine joined the LHSAA and became a rival for the Blue Jays in the New Orleans Catholic League through the 2010-11 school year, when the Purple Knights were reclassified Class 4A by the LHSAA.
Soccer: In the 1998–1999 season, 2006–2007 season, 2008–2009 season, and also the 2009–2010 season, Jesuit fielded one of the best soccer teams in the nation, winning the Louisiana state title and in all four cases ending the season undefeated.
This record gave the Jesuit team a #3 (1998–99), a #2 (2006–2007), a #1 (2008–2009), and a #3 (2009–2010) rank in the nation.
In the three seasons from 2009–2011, the soccer team had a 94-game unbeaten streak, which is the fourth longest unbeaten streak in the country.
Rugby: In the 2007–2008 season, the rugby team won the State Championship for the sixth consecutive year with an undefeated season, only allowing 12 points while scoring over 300.
Because of a conflict with the senior prom, the team was forced to play in the more difficult multi-school division at the Southern Regionals in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
The team swept regionals and moved on to become 8th in the country in the multi-school division at the USA Rugby Boys High School National Championship.
In 2017, the Blue Jays reclaimed the State Championship, winning the title for the first time since 2011, with an overtime victory over the Bayou Hurricanes, 25-22.
Lacrosse: In 2014, Jesuit New Orleans won the 2014 Allstate Sugar Bowl Lacrosse Classic, with 14 schools competing from Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and Alabama.
When the flooding following Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, Jesuit High School was inundated, five feet (1.5 m) of water ruining the ground floor.
When the school announced that it was closed indefinitely, many students enrolled in schools in cities to which they had evacuated.
The largest concentration of students attended a satellite school at Strake Jesuit College Preparatory in Houston; at one point, approximately 420 displaced students attended classes at night with their own teachers and classmates.
In mid-October, Jesuit opened another satellite school at St. Martin's Episcopal School in Metairie in unincorporated Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, which about 500 students attended until Thanksgiving.
After Thanksgiving, Jesuit's students and faculty returned to their own campus, becoming the first flooded school in New Orleans to reopen – albeit with an unusable first floor.
Middleton joined the Colonial Office in 1901, serving in south Nigeria for six years as a junior official before moving on to Mauritius until 1920 when he was promoted to governor of the Falkland Islands from 1920 to 1927, Gambia from 1927 to 1928 and Newfoundland from 1928 to 1932.
In 1932, he was asked to investigate allegations that the Prime Minister of Newfoundland, Sir Richard Squires had falsified cabinet minutes in an attempt to coverup evidence of corruption involving his government.
Middleton's conclusions that there was no sign of tampering resulted in a riot outside his office on April 5, 1932 that helped bring down the Squires government.
Ventilation is the intentional introduction of outdoor air into a space and is mainly used to control indoor air quality by diluting and displacing indoor pollutants; it can also be used for purposes of thermal comfort or dehumidification.
This may be accomplished by pressurization (in the case of positively pressurized buildings), or by depressurization (in the case of exhaust ventilation systems).
Natural ventilation is the intentional passive flow of outdoor air into a building through planned openings (such as louvers, doors, and windows).
Natural ventilation does not require mechanical systems to move outdoor air, it relies entirely on passive physical phenomena, such as diffusion, wind pressure, or the stack effect.
The mechanical and natural components may be used in conjunction with each other or separately at different times of day or season of the year.
Since the natural component can be affected by unpredictable environmental conditions it may not always provide an appropriate amount of ventilation.
At these times, it can be useful to increase the rate of ventilation beyond the minimum required for indoor air quality.
In other instances, ventilation for indoor air quality contributes to the need for - and energy use by - mechanical heating and cooling equipment.
Natural ventilation can also be achieved through the use of operable windows, this has largely been removed from most current architecture buildings due to the mechanical system continuously operating.
During the winter, ACH may range from 0.50 to 0.41 in a tightly air-sealed house to 1.11 to 1.47 in a loosely air-sealed house.
ASHRAE now recommends ventilation rates dependent upon floor area, as a revision to the 62-2001 standard, in which the minimum ACH was 0.35, but no less than 15 CFM/person (7.1 L/s/person).
Ventilation Rate Procedure is rate based on standard and prescribes the rate at which ventilation air must be delivered to a space and various means to condition that air.
Indoor Air Quality Procedure uses one or more guidelines for the specification of acceptable concentrations of certain contaminants in indoor air but does not prescribe ventilation rates or air treatment methods.
It also accounts for potential contaminants that may have no measured limits, or for which no limits are not set (such as formaldehyde offgassing from carpet and furniture).
In certain applications, such as submarines, pressurized aircraft, and spacecraft, ventilation air is also needed to provide oxygen, and to dilute carbon dioxide for survival.
In any pressurized, regulated environment, ventilation is necessary to control any fires that may occur, as the flames may be deprived of oxygen.
Carbon dioxide is used as a reference point, as it is the gas of highest emission at a relatively constant value of 0.005 L/s.
The study of what constitutes bad air dates back to the 1600s, when the scientist Mayow studied asphyxia of animals in confined bottles.
However, by the late 1800s, scientists thought biological contamination, not oxygen or CO2, as the primary component of unacceptable indoor air.
The recommendations of Billings and Flugge were incorporated into numerous building codes from 1900-1920s, and published as an industry standard by ASHVE (the predecessor to ASHRAE) in 1914.
A 1936 human test chamber study by Yaglou, Riley, and Coggins culminated much of this effort, considering odor, room volume, occupant age, cooling equipment effects, and recirculated air implications, which provided guidance for ventilation rates.
From this research base, ASHRAE (having replaced ASHVE) developed space by space recommendations, and published them as ASHRAE Standard 62-1975: Ventilation for acceptable indoor air quality.
In cold, warm, humid, or dusty climates, it is preferable to minimize ventilation with outdoor air to conserve energy, cost, or filtration.
The change was made to recognize that densely populated areas were sometimes overventilated (leading to higher energy and cost) using a per-person methodology.
The addition of occupant- and area-based ventilation rates found in the tables above often results in significantly reduced rates compared to the former standard.
This is compensated in other sections of the standard which require that this minimum amount of air is actually delivered to the breathing zone of the individual occupant at all times.
The total outdoor air intake of the ventilation system (in multiple-zone variable air volume (VAV) systems) might therefore be similar to the airflow required by the 1989 standard.
The design of buildings that promote occupant health and well being requires clear understanding of the ways that ventilation airflow interacts with, dilutes, displaces or introduces pollutants within the occupied space.
In kitchen ventilation systems, or for laboratory fume hoods, the design of effective effluent capture can be more important than the bulk amount of ventilation in a space.
More generally, the way that an air distribution system causes ventilation to flow into and out of a space impacts the ability for a particular ventilation rate to remove internally generated pollutants.
However, the overall impacts of ventilation on indoor air quality can depend on more complex factors such as the sources of pollution, and the ways that activities and airflow interact to affect occupant exposure.
Wind driven ventilation relies upon the force of the prevailing wind to pull and push air through the enclosed space as well as through breaches in the building’s envelope.
The technique was generally abandoned in larger US buildings during the late 20th century as the use of air conditioning became more widespread.
However, with the advent of advanced Building Performance Simulation (BPS) software, improved Building Automation Systems (BAS), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) design requirements, and improved window manufacturing techniques; natural ventilation has made a resurgence in commercial buildings both globally and throughout the US.
During peak occupancy, CO levels rise, and the system adjusts to deliver the same amount of outdoor air as would be used by the ventilation-rate procedure.
Personalized ventilation provides a much higher ventilation effectiveness than conventional mixing ventilation systems by displacing pollution from the breathing zone far less air volume.
Beyond improved air quality benefits, the strategy can also improve occupant's thermal comfort, perceived air quality, and overall satisfaction with the indoor environment.
Individual's preferences for temperature and air movement are not equal, and so traditional approaches to homogeneous environmental control have failed to achieve high occupant satisfaction.
Techniques such as personalized ventilation facilitate control of a more diverse thermal environment that can improve thermal satisfaction for most occupants.
Local exhaust ventilation addresses the issue of avoiding the contamination of indoor air by specific high-emission sources by capturing airborne contaminants before they are spread into the environment.
This can include water vapor control, lavatory bioeffluent control, solvent vapors from industrial processes, and dust from wood- and metal-working machinery.
In the UK, the use of LEV systems have regulations set out by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) which are referred to as the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (CoSHH).
Under CoSHH, legislation is set out to protect users of LEV systems by ensuring that all equipment is tested at least every fourteen months to ensure the LEV systems are performing adequately.
All parts of the system must be visually inspected and thoroughly tested and where any parts are found to be defective, the inspector must issue a red label to identify the defective part and the issue.
The owner of the LEV system must then have the defective parts repaired or replaced before the system can be used.
Smart ventilation is a process to continually adjust the ventilation system in time, and optionally by location, to provide the desired IAQ benefits while minimizing energy consumption, utility bills and other non-IAQ costs (such as thermal discomfort or noise).
A smart ventilation system adjusts ventilation rates in time or by location in a building to be responsive to one or more of the following: occupancy, outdoor thermal and air quality conditions, electricity grid needs, direct sensing of contaminants, operation of other air moving and air cleaning systems.
In addition, smart ventilation systems can provide information to building owners, occupants, and managers on operational energy consumption and indoor air quality as well as signal when systems need maintenance or repair.
Being responsive to occupancy means that a smart ventilation system can adjust ventilation depending on demand such as reducing ventilation if the building is unoccupied.
Smart ventilation can time-shift ventilation to periods when a) indoor-outdoor temperature differences are smaller (and away from peak outdoor temperatures and humidity), b) when indoor-outdoor temperatures are appropriate for ventilative cooling, or c) when outdoor air quality is acceptable.
Being responsive to electricity grid needs means providing flexibility to electricity demand (including direct signals from utilities) and integration with electric grid control strategies.
Smart ventilation systems can have sensors to detect air flow, systems pressures or fan energy use in such a way that systems failures can be detected and repaired, as well as when system components need maintenance, such as filter replacement.
Ventilation in a structure is also needed for removing water vapor produced by respiration, burning, and cooking, and for removing odors.
ASHRAE standard 62 states that air removed from an area with environmental tobacco smoke shall not be recirculated into ETS-free air.
Primitive ventilation systems were found at the Pločnik archeological site (belonging to the Vinča culture) in Serbia and were built into early copper smelting furnaces.
The furnace, built on the outside of the workshop, featured earthen pipe-like air vents with hundreds of tiny holes in them and a prototype chimney to ensure air goes into the furnace to feed the fire and smoke comes out safely.
The development of forced ventilation was spurred by the common belief in the late 18th and early 19th century in the miasma theory of disease, where stagnant 'airs' were thought to spread illness.
An early method of ventilation was the use of a ventilating fire near an air vent which would forcibly cause the air in the building to circulate.
English engineer John Theophilus Desaguliers provided an early example of this, when he installed ventilating fires in the air tubes on the roof of the House of Commons.
Starting with the Covent Garden Theatre, gas burning chandeliers on the ceiling were often specially designed to perform a ventilating role.
A more sophisticated system involving the use of mechanical equipment to circulate the air was developed in the mid 19th century.
A basic system of bellows was put in place to ventilate Newgate Prison and outlying buildings, by the engineer Stephen Hales in the mid-1700s.
David Boswell Reid was called to testify before a Parliamentary committee on proposed architectural designs for the new House of Commons, after the old one burned down in a fire in 1834.
In January 1840 Reid was appointed by the committee for the House of Lords dealing with the construction of the replacement for the Houses of Parliament.
The post was in the capacity of ventilation engineer, in effect; and with its creation there began a long series of quarrels between Reid and Charles Barry, the architect.
It would then ascend into the chamber through thousands of small holes drilled into the floor, and would be extracted through the ceiling by a special ventilation fire within a great stack.
Reid's ventilation method was also applied more fully to St. George's Hall, Liverpool, where the architect, Harvey Lonsdale Elmes, requested that Reid should be involved in ventilation design.
Reid installed four steam powered fans in the ceiling of St George's Hospital in Liverpool, so that the pressure produced by the fans would force the incoming air upward and through vents in the ceiling.
Ahmed Ben Messali Hadj, commonly known as Messali Hadj, , was an Algerian nationalist politician dedicated to the independence of his homeland from French colonial rule.
His father Hadj Ahmed Messali was of Turkish origin and his mother Ftéma Sari Ali Hadj-Eddine belonged to a family of seven daughters, raised in Muslim traditions by their father, a cadi, a member of the Darqawiyya brotherhood.
He was educated in a local French primary school and also received a religious education influenced by the Darqawiyya Sufi order.
Messali Hadj served in the French army from 1918 to 1921; having trained in Bordeaux and then promoted as sergeant in 1919.
By October 1923, at the age of 25, Messali Hadj went to Paris to find work; upon his arrival, he sold bonnets and Tlemceni handicrafts, and he also enrolled in Arabic-language university courses.
His time in Paris also corresponded with the first meetings of Maghribi workers in France which called for the independence of all colonies.
Consequently, he became one of the most prominent Algerian nationalists seeking to remove all French forces and to end French colonial rule in Algeria.
Thereafter, Messali Hadj rebranded the ENA several times in the 1930s and 1940s; hence, he would find himself frequently jailed or exiled.
However, whilst he was in temporary exile in Geneva, Switzerland, Messali Hadj met Shakib Arslan and reoriented from Marxism to Pan-Arabism and Islamism.
The death of some one hundred Europeans during the riots saw the French authorities ruthlessly suppress the Algerian nationalists and the army and police killed approximately 10,000 Muslims.
Once the Algerian War of Liberation began, Messali Hadj sought to compete with the Front de Libération Nationale by mobilising the Mouvement National Algérien (MNA) in December 1954.
In 1958, Messali supported the proposals of President Charles de Gaulle, and France probably attempted to capitalize on the internal rivalries of the nationalist movement.
During negotiation talks in 1961 the FLN did not accept the participation of the MNA, and this led to new outbursts of fighting.
In 1962, as Algeria gained independence from France, Messali tried to transform his group into a legitimate political party, but it was not successful, and the FLN seized control over Algeria as a one-party state.
The carotid body is located in the adventitia, in the bifurcation (fork) of the common carotid artery, which runs along both sides of the neck.
The carotid body detects changes in the composition of arterial blood flowing through it, mainly the partial pressure of arterial oxygen, but also of carbon dioxide.
The carotid body is made up of two types of cells, called glomus cells: glomus type I cells are peripheral chemoreceptors, and glomus type II cells are sustentacular supportive cells.
The carotid body functions as a sensor: it responds to a stimulus, primarily O partial pressure, which is detected by the type I (glomus) cells, and triggers an action potential through the afferent fibers of the glossopharyngeal nerve, which relays the information to the central nervous system.
This is in contrast to the central chemoreceptors in the medulla oblongata that are primarily sensitive to changes in pH and P (a decrease in pH and an increase in P).
More specifically, the sensitivity of carotid body chemoreceptors to decreased P is greater when pH is decreased and P is increased.
The output of the carotid bodies is low at an oxygen partial pressure above about 100mmHg (13,3 kPa) (at normal physiological pH), but below 60mmHg the activity of the type I (glomus) cells increases rapidly due to a decrease in hemoglobin-oxygen saturation below 90%.
The mechanism for detecting reductions in P has yet to be identified, there may be multiple mechanisms and could vary between species.
Hypoxia detection has been shown to depend upon increased hydrogen sulfide generation produced by cystathionine gamma-lyase as hypoxia detection is reduced in mice in which this enzyme is knocked out or pharmacologically inhibited.
Haem reversibly binds O with an affinity similar to that of the carotid body, suggesting that haem containing proteins may have a role in O, potentially this could be one of the complexes involved in oxidative-phosphorylation.
Falls in CO that occur as a consequence of hypoxia would lead to closure of this potassium channel and this would lead to membrane depolarisation and consequence activation of the carotid body.
An increased P is detected because the CO diffuses into the cell, where it increases the concentration of carbonic acid and thus protons.
The precise mechanism of CO sensing is unknown, however it has been demonstrated that CO and low pH inhibit a TASK-like potassium conductance, reducing potassium current.
This leads to depolarisation of the cell membrane which leads to Ca entry, excitation of glomus cells and consequent neurotransmitter release.
Changes in proton concentration caused by acidosis (or the opposite from alkalosis) inside the cell stimulates the same pathways involved in P sensing.
A decrease in oxygen partial pressure, an increase in carbon dioxide partial pressure, and a decrease in arterial pH can all cause depolarization of the cell membrane, and they affect this by blocking potassium currents.
These act on receptors on the afferent nerve fibres which lie in apposition to the glomus cell to cause an action potential.
The feedback from the carotid body is sent to the cardiorespiratory centers in the medulla oblongata via the afferent branches of the glossopharyngeal nerve.
The family Phrynosomatidae, along with seven other families, used to be included in the single family Iguanidae, until Frost and Etheridge's (1989) analysis of iguanian systematics suggested the family be divided.
However, recent work in molecular systematics has suggested there are four clades and 11 genetically separable populations, and the subspecies will probably have to be redefined.
They are brown to black in color (the brown may be sandy or greenish) and have black stripes on their backs, but their most distinguishing characteristic is their bright blue bellies.
Although California is the heart of the range of this lizard, it is also found in eastern and southwestern Oregon (some populations are found even north of Seattle, Washington), as well as in the Columbia River Gorge, southwestern Idaho, Nevada, western Utah, northwestern Baja California, Arizona, and some of the islands off the coast of both California and Baja California.
It is found in grassland, broken chaparral, sagebrush, woodland, coniferous forest, and farmland, and occupies elevations from sea level to 10,800 ft.
These lizards are diurnal, and are commonly seen sunning on paths, rocks, and fence posts, and other high places, which makes them an easy target for predation by birds and even some mammals, such as shrews.
Also they can be prey for Alligator lizards during cold mornings.They protect themselves by employing their fast reflexes, which are common in many other lizards including biting and possibly defecating on the predator.
They can change color from light grey or tan to nearly jet black, but they probably use this ability for the purpose of thermoregulation while basking and not as a means to camouflage themselves.
When ticks carrying Lyme disease feed on these lizards' blood (which they commonly do, especially around their ears), a protein in the lizard's blood kills the bacterium in the tick that causes Lyme disease.
It was established in 1982 and is published by Springer Science+Business Media on behalf of the International Society for Reef Studies, of which it is the official journal.
The coronary arteries are the blood vessels (arteries) of coronary circulation, which transports oxygenated blood to the substance of the heart.
The heart requires a continuous supply of oxygen to function and survive, much like any other tissue or organ of the body.
Not only does this affect supply to the heart muscle itself, but it also can affect the ability of the heart to pump blood throughout the body.
Therefore, any disorder or disease of the coronary arteries can have a serious impacts on health, possibly leading to angina, a heart attack, and even death.
The coronary arteries are mainly composed of the left and right coronary arteries, both of which give off several branches as shown in the 'Coronary artery flow' figure.
The left coronary artery (LCA) arises from the aorta within the left cusp of the aortic valve and feeds blood to the left side of the heart.
In approximately 33% of individuals, the left coronary artery gives rise to the posterior descending artery which perfuses the posterior and inferior walls of the left ventricle.
The RCA primarily branches into the right marginal arteries, and, in 67% of individuals, gives place to the posterior descending artery.
The right marginal arteries perfuse the right ventricle and the posterior descending artery perfuses the left ventricular posterior and inferior walls.
There is also the conus artery, which is only present in about 45 percent of the human population, and which provides collateral blood flow to the heart when the left anterior descending artery is occluded.
This occurs when plaques (made up of deposits of cholesterol and other substances) build up over time in the walls of the arteries.
A heart attack results from a sudden plaque rupture and formation of a thrombus (blood clot) that completely blocks blood flow to a portion of the heart leading to tissue death (infarct).
There is also a rare condition known as spontaneous coronary artery dissection, in which the wall of one of the coronary arteries tears, causing severe pain.
Unlike CAD, spontaneous coronary artery dissection is not due to plaque buildup in arteries, and tends to occur in younger individuals, including women who have recently given birth or men who do intense exercise.
In 1995, the Inspire was updated by the second generation model, on a platform it shared with the Honda Legend, and exported to the US as the Acura 3.2 TL, while the Vigor nameplate was replaced with the Honda Saber.
In 1999, these cars were replaced by the third generation TL that was based on the US-spec Accord platform, and largely designed and engineered in the US by Honda R&D Americas, Inc. in Raymond, Ohio.
In October 2005, the fourth generation Inspire received a mild restyle, with new headlights, new taillights, revised interior and new colors.
In September 2012, after 6 generations and the introduction of the ninth generation Accord, the Inspire ended production for a short period after 23 years before relaunching in 2018 as a China-only model based on the tenth generation Accord.
This 5-cylinder engine was also used in the JDM Honda Rafaga, which was a shorter sedan shared with the second generation Honda Ascot.
The CB5 Inspire was offered in three trim levels, the base AZ-i with manual transmission, AG-I with fog lamps and optional sunroof as well as central locking, and the top spec luxury AX-I with leather upholstery, more safety features and full cruise control as well as power seats.
A longer and wider version with the 5 cylinder G25A 2.5L engine debuted in early 1992, similar in dimensions to the first generation Legend.
The larger CC2-CC3 Inspire was a mild refresh of the first CB5 Inspire, featuring updated full-width boot lamps (the updated Vigor had conventional single lamp units) with less chrome, larger bumpers with new wrap-around cornering lamp design (instead of the optional separate units like the CB5) and mesh alloy wheels.
Following the 1992 refresh, the Inspire offered fewer trim levels and the inline-five received upgrades (power was up from 118KW to 140KW).
Interior appearance was provided by the Japanese furniture company, Tendo Mokko, offering unique leather interior and a choice of genuine wood inserts for the dashboard and center console.
The SOHC four valves per cylinder G20A inline-five engine was all new, with a choice of 2.0 L or 2.5 L engine displacement.
Japanese buyers had a choice of two engine displacements which was a consideration as to how much annual road tax they were willing to pay.
The transmission is attached behind the engine, with a driveshaft that sends power to the front of the car to an asymmetrically installed limited-slip differential which then supplies power to the front wheels using half shafts; this allowed the powertrain to remain slightly behind the front wheels.
After obtaining a first-class mathematics degree as a self-taught external student at the University of London, Wright studied at Jesus College, Oxford and Christ Church, Oxford.
His research career lasted from 1931 until the early 1980s, firstly on a Research Fellowship at Christ Church, which included a year in Göttingen, Germany.
He was then appointed a lecturer at Christ Church, teaching there until 1935 followed by his appointment as Professor of Mathematics at the University of Aberdeen.
He held that chair from 1936 to 1962, except for a break during the war (from 1943 to 1945) when he was seconded to the Air Ministry Intelligence at MI6 headquarters.
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1937 and awarded their Makdougall Brisbane Prize in 1952.
), is a former American naval officer and aviator, test pilot, aeronautical engineer, and a retired NASA astronaut, as well as a professional pilot who currently races regularly at the annual Reno Air Races.
Born October 30, 1946, in Cooperstown, New York, but considers the Lakewood area of east Long Beach, California, to be his hometown.
Gibson graduated from Huntington High School, Huntington, New York as a part of the class of 1964, and went on to earn an Associate degree in Engineering Science from Suffolk County Community College in 1966.
He received basic and primary flight training at Naval Air Station Pensacola and Naval Air Station Saufley Field, Florida, and Naval Air Station Meridian, Mississippi.
He completed advanced flight training at Naval Air Station Kingsville, Texas and was assigned to Fighter Squadron 121 (VF-121) at Naval Air Station Miramar, California for replacement training in the F-4 Phantom II.
While assigned to Fighter Squadron 111 (VF-111) and Fighter Squadron 1 (VF-1) from April 1972 to September 1975, he saw duty aboard the aircraft carriers and , flying combat missions in Southeast Asia in the F-4 with VF-111 and making the initial operational carrier deployment of the F-14 Tomcat with VF-1.
Gibson returned to the United States and an assignment as an F-14A instructor pilot with Fighter Squadron 124 (VF-124) at Naval Air Station Miramar.
Naval Test Pilot School at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland in June 1977 and later became involved in the test and evaluation of improvements to the F-14A aircraft while assigned to the Naval Air Test Center's Strike Aircraft Test Directorate.
Selected as a NASA astronaut, he continued to be promoted, eventually achieving the rank of Captain in the U.S. Navy and the rank at which he retired from active naval service.
Gibson's flight experience included over 6,000 flying hours (14,000 hours in total) in over 140 types of civil and military aircraft.
Gibson served as Chief of the Astronaut Office (December 1992 to September 1994) and as Deputy Director, Flight Crew Operations (March–November 1996).
On his first space flight Gibson was the pilot on the crew of STS 41-B which launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on February 3, 1984.
The flight accomplished the deployment of two Hughes 376 communications satellites which later failed to reach desired geosynchronous orbits due to upper-stage rocket failures.
The STS 41-B mission marked the first checkout of the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU), and Manipulator Foot Restraint (MFR), with Bruce McCandless II and Bob Stewart performing two EVAs (space walks).
Gibson was the commander of the STS-61-C mission, and the first of only four people under the age of 40 to command a STS Orbiter.
After 68 orbits of the Earth the mission concluded with a dry lakebed landing on Runway 17 at Edwards Air Force Base on December 6, 1988.
The mission was a cooperative venture between the United States and Japan, and included the first Japanese astronaut and the first African-American woman, Mae Jemison, in the crew.
The mission ended with a successful landing on the runway at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on September 20, 1992.
On his last flight, (June 27 to July 7, 1995), Gibson commanded a crew of seven-members (up) and eight-members (down) on Space Shuttle mission STS-71.
This was the first Space Shuttle mission to dock with the Russian Space Station Mir, and involved an exchange of crews.
It also carried a Spacelab module in the payload bay in which the crew performed various life sciences experiments and data collections.
When the hatch separating the two modules was opened, Gibson and Vladimir Dezhurov shook hands, symbolizing the newly-found cooperation between the United States of America and the Soviet Union.
Later that day, President Bill Clinton in a statement mentioned that this handshake was a major breakthrough towards the ending of the Cold War.
In 2006, as reported by NASA Watch, Gibson was forced to retire as mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration for commercial airline pilots.
During his appearance, he became the first contestant to make it to the million-dollar question without using any of his cheats.
Beginning in 2009, Gibson flew as a demonstration pilot for Hawker Beechcraft Corporation to showcase the Premier 1A light business jet across the United States and overseas.
In 2010, The Academy of Model Aeronautics, the United States' national aeromodeling organization, named Gibson a spokesperson and Ambassador to promote the hobby of radio controlled model flight and to encourage an interest in aviation amongst young people.
Gibson has stated that his interest in manned flight and his career as a test pilot and astronaut has its origin in his building of model aircraft as a youth.
However, the Tories complained that Whiteway's Liberals had promised jobs to Newfoundlanders who voted for him and filed petitions in the Supreme Court under the Corrupt Practices Act against fifteen Liberal members of the House alleging bribery and corruption.
In April 1894, in the midsts of the trials, Whiteway attempted to dissolve the House of Assembly and call new elections.
Instead, Governor Sir Arthur Murray refused Whiteway's requested and instead appointed Goodridge as the new Premier despite the fact that Goodridge's Tories were outnumbered by Liberals in the House of Assembly.
In order to prevent the Tories from being defeated by a Motion of No Confidence, Murray repeatedly prorogued the House before a vote could be held.
Regardless of this assistance by the governor, Goodridge's Tory Party government was short lived due to a mounting political and economic crisis and resigned on December 12, 1894 after the collapse of two banks.
Eden Center is a Vietnamese American strip mall located near the crossroads of Seven Corners in the City of Falls Church, Virginia.
Eden Center has created an anchor for Vietnamese culture serving the Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, and Pennsylvania areas, as evidenced by the large number of phở soup restaurants, bánh mì delicatessens, bakeries, markets, as well as Vietnamese-American cultural events that are regularly held at the Center.
Eden Center is the largest Vietnamese commercial center on the East Coast, and the largest Asian-themed mall on the east coast of North America.
The center opened in 1962 as the Plaza Seven Shopping Center, with a Grand Union supermarket and a Zayre discount store serving as anchors.
The name derives from the 1960s Saigon arcade Khu Eden; the cluster of stores took on the Eden name, and it ultimately evolved into the name for the entire center.
The landlord, Capital Commercial Properties, later added a clock tower and an arch flanked by lions, inspired by the Bến Thành Market in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Most businesses are located on ground level and offer direct access to the sidewalk and parking lot, as would a conventional strip mall.
At all times, a South Vietnamese Flag flies proudly above the mall, as is common with many Vietnamese-owned businesses in the Washington, D.C., area.
A high percentage of the businesses in the mall are restaurants, specifically Vietnamese restaurants, specializing in various levels of formality and in various aspects of Vietnamese cuisine.
These range from carry-out-only places that serve stir-fry dishes and spring rolls to high-volume phở soup restaurants to sit-down restaurants with large varied menus and a formal decor.
Other business types exist, including jewelry stores, herbal medicine shops, clothing and toy stores and travel agents, though these are less numerous.
Eden Center hosts an annual Tết, or Vietnamese New Year festival and an annual Moon Festival, both widely attended with a vibrant display of special food, performers, fireworks and lion dancing.
On August 11, 2011, law enforcement consisting of federal, Virginia State and local police jointly raided several businesses in Eden Center, seizing more than $1 million in cash from one business, and small amounts from other businesses.
No felony charges were ever filed, and ultimately, though some defendants pleaded guilty, many had their cases dismissed prior to trial and tensions were ignited between the Eden Center businesses and the City of Falls Church government.
Those tensions continued when a second raid was conducted only 5 months later, and suspects were arrested on a variety of gambling and money laundering charges, with many in the community alleging racism and poor investigation on the part of the police.
In particular, Bourdain visited the Song Que deli, and had a very favorable review of both that business and of the Eden Center.
Set at corner of 33rd Ave and 1539 Blake St. Astoria in Queens, Cosby portrayed grumpy Hilton Lucas, a New York City man forced into early retirement from his job as an airline customer service agent.
Initially, Telma Hopkins was cast as Ruth Lucas; however, she was recast after she reacted poorly to Cosby's tendency to ad lib.
Griffin occasionally tried to win Erica's affections, but they decided just to remain friends when in the fourth and final season, Darien Sills-Evans portrayed Darien Evans, Erica's fiancé/husband.
At the end of the fourth season, having accumulated enough episodes for the show to enter reruns, Cosby and CBS executive Leslie Moonves mutually decided to end the series.
The series was distributed by Carsey-Werner Distribution for broadcast syndication for the 2000–2001 television season, where it ran until the fall of 2004; after that point it was offered in low-cost barter arrangements.
In March 2010, gmc (the current UP Network) began airing the show, but as a family network with religious ownership, removed some episodes and edited some content in episodes to meet the network's mores.
It began to air on Bounce TV in January 2015, but was removed from air on July 7, 2015, when records were made public regarding allegations of Cosby's sexual assault against several women.
The Battle of Mount Longdon was an engagement of the Falklands War between the British Third Battalion, of the Parachute Regiment supported by six L118 light guns and the vessel and Argentine forces consisting of the 7th Infantry Regiment and other ad hoc additions.
The engagement took place on 11–12 June 1982, a mixture of hand-to-hand bayonet charges and ranged engagments, resulting in the British victory and their occupation of a key position around the besieged Argentine garrison at Port Stanley.
Additionally, there are claims of testimony from 23 people about a soldier who was shot to death by a corporal, four other former combatants who starved to death, and at least 15 cases of conscripts who were staked out on the ground.
The British force consisted of Third Battalion, the Parachute Regiment (3 PARA) under Lieutenant Colonel Hew Pike with artillery support from six L118 light guns of 29 Commando Regiment, Royal Artillery; Second Battalion, the Parachute Regiment (2 PARA) were in reserve.
The Argentine forces consisted of B Company, 7th Infantry Regiment (RI 7), part of 10th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, as well as detachments from other units.
The 7th Infantry Regiment, reinforced by two Marine Infantry platoons, held Mount Longdon, Wireless Ridge to the northwest of the Capital, Port Stanley and to their east, Cortley Ridge.
The Argentine forces on Mount Longdon were not raw conscripts, but recalled reservists with a year of military training under their belts.
Part of this training saw 7th Regiment undertake major, all-arms collective training in central Argentina alongside the 3rd and 6th Infantry Regiments of the 10th Brigade.
The young RI 7 soldiers were not going to abandon their positions easily and several were prepared to hold their ground.
They possessed fully automatic FN FAL rifles, FAP light machine guns and PAMS sub-machine guns; these weapons delivered more firepower than the British L1A1 rifle (SLR).
At their San Miguel del Monte training camp the 7th Regiment companies prepared for possible war against Chile and carried out some intense helicopter drills with the 601st Combat Aviation Battalion.
Some fifty of the 7th Regiment were to fight more resolutely than the rest and share their skills, having been put through a commando course organized by commando-trained Major Oscar Jaimet, the Operations Officer of the 6th Infantry Regiment (RI 6).
I was also shown how to use a bazooka, how to make and lay booby-traps, and how to navigate at night, and we went on helicopter drills, night and day attacks and ambushes.
During wartime, the higher ranking officers are in totally different places ... Sub Lieutenant Baldini would receive orders from Major Carrizo who was further down, to use our cold rations and that the more nutritious food we'd get when the fighting started because they didn't know if they'd be able to supply us with food.
Private Luis Aparicio claims that he and others once escaped into Port Stanley where they were able to buy cigarettes, jam, bread, apples and cookies and that the corporal in charge of his group would allow them to shoot and eat sheep, but that in the last 20 days they hardly got any food.
He also admits that the 1st Platoon was taken out of the mountain twice, in April and at the beginning of May, so that the soldiers could get a chance to shower in Port Stanley and that on the last march into town, the men were allowed to stay there under roofs overnight.
Private Carlos Amato claims that Baldini had a net stretched outside his tent that contained tinned provisions for his men, but claims these cold rations were poor quality, although he would consume them after getting a fellow conscript to heat them up first and that the NCOs in the platoon had no qualms in eating the cold rations made available to everybody in 1st Platoon.
Sergio Delgado claims that he hated his section leader, Corporal Geronimo Diaz of the 1st Platoon, but says that the NCO allowed him and four other conscripts to open up and drink several cans of beer that had been helicoptered forward.
Alonso admits he took no part in the fighting for he was evacuated during the daylight hours of 11 June, a victim of shell-shock during an artillery bombardment.
The previous day, Private Carbone had also been evacuated after he shot himself in his left thigh while inside his tent as is revealed in the book Two Sides of Hell (Bloomsbury Publishing, 1994).
Baldini applied first-aid and allowed the conscript to be taken down the mountain, where a helicopter arrived to take the wounded soldier to Stanley Hospital, but not before coming under heavy rifle fire from nervous sentries on Wireless Ridge that damaged the helicopter.
Baldini was later heavily criticized by veterans for being indifferent and selfish toward his men although this seems to have come from several petulant soldiers who failed to appreciate his efforts to keep them alive in difficult conditions.
In 2009, Argentine authorities in Comodoro Rivadavia ratified a decision made by authorities in Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego (which, according to Argentina, have authority over the islands), announcing their intention to charge 70 officers and NCOs with inhumane treatment of conscript soldiers during the war.
There are serious claims that false testimonies were used as evidence in accusing the Argentine officers and NCOs and Vassel had to step down from his post in 2010.
There are some types of crimes that no state should allow to go unpunished, no matter how much time has passed, such as the crimes of the dictatorship.
Last year Germany sentenced a 98-year-old corporal for his role in the concentration camps in one of the Eastern European countries occupied by Nazi Germany.
3 PARA and the supporting Royal Engineers from the 9th Parachute Squadron made a desperate march across the hills north of Mount Simon to seize the key piece of high ground above the settlement of Estancia, also known as Estancia House.
A lot of the time if we were going along on tracks – what few we did go on – we used Indian file, which is staggered file on either side of the track, like a zig-zag.
But there are great rivers of rock – big white boulders – and you have to cross them and then there's the heather and the gorse and its constantly wet.
So the wind chill factor was – I think somebody said minus 40 degrees – and storm force winds and horizontal rain – a nightmare scenario.
Captain Matthew Selfridge of 3 PARA and Captain Robbie Burns from the 9th Parachute Squadron (Royal Engineers) set up a patrol base near Murrell Bridge, two kilometres west of Mount Longdon on 3 June, protected by 4 Platoon (under Lieutenant Ian Bickerdike) from B Company.
From their forward operating base, Selfridge and Burns sent out patrols to scout out and harass the Argentine positions on Mount Longdon.
An example of a British snatch patrol that failed to obtain a prisoner was provided by 3 PARA on the night of 4–5 June 1982.
One British participant nevertheless claimed to have shot and killed two Argentines and demolished one mortar crew with a rocket at close range.
On the Argentine side, it was soon realised that the 7th Infantry Regiment Reconnaissance Platoon under Second Lieutenant Francisco Ramón Galíndez Matienzo on the surrounding Wireless Ridge position were in no condition to carry out their own patrolling for they had been designated the Argentine reserve on Wireless Ridge.
They were able to do so with some success and in the early hours of 7 June when a combined patrol of the 601 Commando Company and 601st National Gendarmerie Special Forces Squadron, investigating reports from Major Jaimet of enemy activity around Murrell Bridge was seen approaching the bridge.
After several nights in the area Corporals Peter Hadden and Mark Brown and their patrols had just arrived at the bluff on the western bank of the Murrell River which Sergeant Ian Addle's patrol was using as a base.
The Paras opened up and a confused firefight developed in the darkness, with small arms, machinegun, British LAW rockets and Argentine Energa rifle grenades being exchanged.
Captain Rubén Teófilo Figueroa's 2nd Assault Section from 601 Commando Company was very aggressive and before dawn had forced the Paras to withdraw, having to leave behind much of their equipment.
They were forced to evacuate their position rapidly, leaving behind their packs and radio, but succeeded in withdrawing without suffering any casualties.
The location was checked on the evening of 8 June by another patrol, but there was no sign of the packs or radio, which meant the battalion's radio net could have been compromised.
That same night, another an 8-man section (under Corporal Oscar Nicolás Albornoz-Guevara) from the 4th Regiment's C Company on nearby Two Sisters Mountain attempted to map out the British positions in Estancia House area, but British lookouts detected this force and 3 PARA's Mortar Platoon repelled the Argentine patrol.
Nevertheless, despite evidence of aggressive Argentine patrolling, Colonel Pike and his company commanders on the eve of battle still held the Argentine regulars in low regard and did not expect them to put up much resistance.
For this reason the British hoped to surprise the Argentine commanders by advancing as close to their forward platoon as possible under cover of darkness, before storming into their trenches with fixed bayonets.
B Company would attack through 'Fly Half' and proceed to 'Full Back', while A Company, followed by C Company if necessary, would do the same on Wireless Ridge.
Of course, we were very fed up with wearing the same clothes for so many days, going without a shower, being so cold, eating badly.
When 3 PARA's B Company (under Major Mike Argue) fixed bayonets to storm the Argentine 1st Platoon positions on Mount Longdon, they found themselves running into a minefield.
As dusk set-in, 3 PARA moved to their start lines and, after a brief stop, began to make the four-hour-long advance on their objectives.
As B Company approached Mount Longdon, Corporal Brian Milne stepped on a mine, which after a very silent approach, alerted Sub-Lieutenant Baldini's platoon of conscripts.
More than 20 Argentinian soldiers emerged from their tents to lay down fire, but most of the platoon was still struggling out of its sleeping bags when Lieutenant Ian Bickerdike's No.
Corporal Stewart McLaughlin was in the thick of the action, clearing out an Argentine 7.62mm machinegun from the high ground overlooking the western slopes.
He mustered his section, ordered them to fix bayonets and then led them up the hill into a hail of machinegun fire.
However, they had missed half a dozen Argentine conscripts of the 3rd Platoon, having grenaded several abandoned bunkers, and these launched a fierce attack on the unsuspecting platoon, resulting in a number of casualties before the area was cleared.
Privates Ben Gough and Dominic Gray managed to crawl undetected up to an Argentine bunker and crouched beside it as the Marine conscripts inside blasted away into the night.
In unison the two Paras each pulled the pin out of a grenade and 'posted' them through the firing slit of the bunker.
A British soldier climbed over the rock which supported the accommodation bunker of the 105mm gun crew, and from here he was silhouetted.
I aimed and fired and he fell, then Conscript Daniel Ferrandis alerted me to the approach of three British soldiers on the flank.
Many people fell to the ground screaming, but soon the enemy was aware of my presence and every time I fired a shot I received a great deal of fire in response.
Not long after my main action I was wounded ... We could also hear the cries for help from the Rasit radar operator Sergeant Roque Nista, who was wounded.
Also killed in the initial fighting was Cavalry Sergeant Jorge Alberto Ron (according to Private Altieri who was wounded in the blast that killed the NCO) and the Argentine forward artillery observation officer, Lieutenant Alberto Rolando Ramos, whose last message was that his position was surrounded.
Just as it seemed as if the Paras would overwhelm 2nd Lieutenant Enrique Neirotti's 3rd Platoon on the southern half and Staff Sergeant Raúl González's 2nd Platoon on the northern half of the mountain, reinforcements from 2nd Lieutenant Hugo Quiroga's 1st Platoon, 10th Engineer Company on 'Full Back' arrived to help Neirotti and González.
Throughout the initial fighting in this sector, most of the Argentine positions on the saddle of the mountain held, the newly arrived engineers using head-mounted nightsights, proving particularly deadly to the Paras.
We punched his arm down onto the ground to staunch the bleeding, believing he'd lost half his right forearm and hand, but it was still there and his arm bent at the forearm instead of the elbow – a horrible thing to watch.
'Baz' had gone back to try to get field dressings for Pete Grey and [as] he was coming back, 'bang', he got it in the back.
At the centre of the mountain were Marine conscripts Jorge Maciel and Claudio Scaglione in a bunker with a heavy machinegun and Marine conscripts Luis Fernández and Sergio Giuseppetti with night-scope equipped rifles.
4 Platoon were attempting to perform reconnaissance on the Marine positions; in doing so, the platoon commander and signaller were wounded.
Sergeant McKay realising something needed to be done, decided to attack the Marine heavy machinegun position that was causing so much damage.
Despite these losses Sergeant McKay, with complete disregard for his own safety for which he was to win a posthumous Victoria Cross, continued to charge the enemy position alone, lobbing grenades, and was killed.
(Arms & Armour Press, 1993), pointed out that McKay and his team cleared several Marine riflemen from the position but failed to neutralize the heavy machinegun.
Corporal McLaughlin managed to crawl to within grenade-throwing range of the Marine heavy-machinegun team, but despite several efforts with fragmentation grenades and 66 mm rockets, he was unable to silence it.
First Lieutenant Raúl Fernando Castañeda gathered the sections of his platoon, hooked around First Sergeant Raúl González's 2nd Platoon that was already fighting and delivered a counterattack [at about 2 am local time].
Major Carrizo-Salvadores manoeuvred Castañeda's reinforced platoon to close with 4 and 5 Platoons; meanwhile, under the direction of Corporal Jorge Daniel Arribas, part of Castañeda's platoon converged on the British aid post.
Colour Sergeant Brian Faulkner, seeing that more than 20 wounded Paras on the western slopes of the mountain were about to fall into the hands of Corporal Arribas, deployed anyone fit enough to defend the British Regimental Aid Post.
At that point, Lieutenant Colonel Hew Pike and his 'R' Group arrived on the scene and Major Argue briefed him on the situation.
Shortly afterwards, Company Sergeant-Major Weeks reported that both platoons had pulled back to a safe distance and that all the wounded had been recovered.
By the time the 21 survivors of Castañeda's 46-man platoon had worked their way off the mountain, they were utterly exhausted.
Private Rondi, having dodged groups of Paras to deliver messages to Castañeda's section leaders, had found the body of a Para behind a rock (it may have been Sergeant McKay) and took his red beret and SLR which he later gave to the Argentine commanders as trophies.
4, and 5 Platoons, and 29 Commando Regiment directed artillery fire at the mountain from Mount Kent, after which the area was flanked from the left.
Under heavy fire, the remnants of 4 and 5 Platoons, under Lieutenant Mark Cox, advanced upon their objective of 'Full Back', taking some casualties from Casteñeda's platoon in the form of Corporal Julio Nardielo Mamani's section as they did so.
As he was clearing the Argentine position, Private Grey was injured from a headshot but refused to be evacuated until Maj.
The Paras could not move any further without taking unacceptable losses and so were pulled back to the western end of Mount Longdon, with the orders for Major David Collett's A Company to move through B Company and assault, from the west, the eastern objective of 'Full Back', a heavily defended position, with covering fire being given from Support Company.
Lieutenant David Wright and Second Lieutenant Ian Moore mustered their platoons near the western summit and had briefed them on how to deal with the enemy.
Although already wounded, Corporal Manuel Medina of Castañeda's platoon took over another recoilless rifle detachment and personally fired along the ridge at Support Company, killing three Paras, including Private Peter Heddicker, who took the full force of a 105 mm anti-tank round, and three others were also wounded.
Major Carrizo-Salvadores abandoned his command bunker on 'Full Back' only when a MILAN missile smashed into some rocks just behind him.
The swearing in English on the part of the conscripts, and the discovery of several dead Argentine Marine conscripts dressed in camouflaged uniforms at first led the Paras to believe they had encountered mercenaries from the United States on Mount Longdon.
Two of the 3 PARA dead – Privates Ian Scrivens and Jason Burt – were only seventeen years old, and Private Neil Grose was killed on his 18th birthday.
A further four Paras and one REME craftsman were killed and seven Paratroopers were wounded in the following two-day shelling that followed, that was directed by Sub-Lieutenant Marcelo de Marco of the 5th Marines on Tumbledown Mountain.
Several Paras were also wounded by the counter-fire directed by the Argentine Forward Artillery Observation Officer (Major Guillermo Nani) on Wireless Ridge on the night of 13–14 June.
Lance-Corporal Vincent Bramley was patrolling the western half of Mount Longdon when he was confronted with the full horror of the night combat.
I turned and looked at our own lads, dead on the ground, mowed down when they tried to rush through this gap.
It is part of the 64-campus State University of New York (SUNY) system and serves Erie County and the surrounding communities of western New York.
Examples of ablative materials are described below, and include spacecraft material for ascent and atmospheric reentry, ice and snow in glaciology, biological tissues in medicine and passive fire protection materials.
Genetic ablation is another term for gene silencing, in which gene expression is abolished through the alteration or deletion of genetic sequence information.
In glaciology and meteorology, ablation—the opposite of accumulation—refers to all processes that remove snow, ice, or water from a glacier or snowfield.
Ablation refers to the melting of snow or ice that runs off the glacier, evaporation, sublimation, calving, or erosive removal of snow by wind.
Where solar radiation is the dominant cause of snow ablation (e.g., if air temperatures are low under clear skies), characteristic ablation textures such as suncups and penitentes may develop on the snow surface.
There is a thin debris layer that can be located on the top of glaciers that intensifies the ablation process below the ice.
The debris-covered parts of a glacier that is experiencing ablation are sectioned into three categories which include ice cliffs, ponds, and debris.
It is noted that if the slope of a glacier is too high then the debris will continue to move along the glacier to a further location.
The sizes and locations of glaciers vary around the world, so depending on the climate and physical geography the varieties of debris can differ.
The size and magnitude of the debris is dependent on the area of glacier and can vary from dust-size fragments to blocks as large as a house.
Yoshiyuki Fujii, a professor at the National Institute of Polar Research designed an experiment that showed ablation rate was accelerated under a thin debris layer and was retarded under a thick one as compared with that of a natural snow surface.
This science is significant due to the importance of long-term availability of water resources and assess glacier response to climate change.
Natural resource availability is a major drive behind research conducted in regards to the ablation process and overall study of glaciers.
Laser ablation is greatly affected by the nature of the material and its ability to absorb energy, therefore the wavelength of the ablation laser should have a minimum absorption depth.
Surface ablation of the cornea for several types of eye refractive surgery is now common, using an excimer laser system (LASIK and LASEK).
Since the cornea does not grow back, laser is used to remodel the cornea refractive properties to correct refraction errors, such as astigmatism, myopia, and hyperopia.
Laser ablation is also used to remove part of the uterine wall in women with menstruation and adenomyosis problems in a process called endometrial ablation.
Recently, researchers have demonstrated a successful technique for ablating subsurface tumors with minimal thermal damage to surrounding healthy tissue, by using a focused laser beam from an ultra-short pulse diode laser source.
Antifouling paints and other related coatings are routinely used to prevent the buildup of microorganisms and other animals, such as barnacles for the bottom hull surfaces of recreational, commercial and military sea vessels.
Surface ablation of the skin (dermabrasion, also called resurfacing because it induces regeneration) can be carried out by chemicals (chemoablation), by lasers (laser ablation), by freezing (cryoablation), or by electricity (fulguration).
Ablation therapy using radio frequency waves on the heart is used to cure a variety of cardiac arrhythmiae such as supraventricular tachycardia, Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome (WPW), ventricular tachycardia, and more recently as management of atrial fibrillation.
The term is often used in the context of laser ablation, a process in which a laser dissolves a material's molecular bonds.
For a laser to ablate tissues, the power density or fluence must be high, otherwise thermocoagulation occurs, which is simply thermal vaporization of the tissues.
Rotoablation is a type of arterial cleansing that consists of inserting a tiny, diamond-tipped, drill-like device into the affected artery to remove fatty deposits or plaque.
Bone marrow ablation is a process whereby the human bone marrow cells are eliminated in preparation for a bone marrow transplant.
Ablation of brain tissue is used for treating certain neurological disorders, particularly Parkinson's disease, and sometimes for psychiatric disorders as well.
In particular, genetic ablation is potentially a much more efficient method of removing unwanted cells, such as tumor cells, because large numbers of animals lacking specific cells could be generated.
The idea is to put enough of this material in the way of the fire that a level of fire-resistance rating can be maintained, as demonstrated in a fire test.
In the case of silicone, organic rubber surrounds very finely divided silica dust (up to 380 m² of combined surface area of all the dust particles per gram of this dust).
When the organic rubber is exposed to fire, it burns to ash and leaves behind the silica dust with which the product started.
In spacecraft design, ablation is used to both cool and protect mechanical parts and/or payloads that would otherwise be damaged by extremely high temperatures.
Examples include the Apollo Command Module that protected astronauts from the heat of atmospheric reentry and the Kestrel second stage rocket engine designed for exclusive use in an environment of space vacuum since no heat convection is possible.
In a basic sense, ablative material is designed to slowly burn away in a controlled manner, so that heat can be carried away from the spacecraft by the gases generated by the ablative process while the remaining solid material insulates the craft from superheated gases.
There is an entire branch of spaceflight research involving the search for new fireproofing materials to achieve the best ablative performance; this function is critical to protect the spacecraft occupants and payload from otherwise excessive heat loading.
The same technology is used in some passive fire protection applications, in some cases by the same vendors, who offer different versions of these fireproofing products, some for aerospace and some for structural fire protection.
According to Livy, the settlement on the Esquiline was expanded during the reign of Servius Tullius, Rome's sixth king, in the 6th century BC.
The political advisor and art patron Maecenas (70–8 BC) sited his gardens, the first in the Hellenistic-Persian garden style in Rome, on the Esquiline Hill, atop the Servian Wall and its adjoining necropolis.
At the Oppius, Nero (37 AD–68 AD) confiscated property to build his extravagant, mile-long Golden House, and later still Trajan (53–117) constructed his bath complex, both of whose remains are visible today.
The 3rd-century Horti Liciniani, a group of gardens (including the relatively well-preserved nymphaeum formerly identified as the non-extant Temple of Minerva Medica), were probably constructed on the Esquiline Hill.
According to a tradition recounted by Titus Livy, the hill received its name from the Etruscan folk hero Caelius Vibenna, because he either settled there or was honored posthumously by his friend Servius Tullius.
In Republican-era and Imperial Rome alike, the Caelian Hill was a fashionable residential district and the site of residences of the wealthy.
This expensive feat was achieved on the Caelian Hill by Mamurra, a soldier who served under Julius Caesar in Gaul, profited tremendously from corruption, and was accordingly mocked by Horace and Catullus.
The Caelian is also the site of the Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo and the ancient basilica of Santo Stefano Rotondo, known for its centralized, circular plan.
George Santayana lived in a room at the Convent of English blue sisters on the Caelian Hill from 1912 until his death.
A finger-shape cusp pointing toward central Rome between the Quirinal Hill to the northwest and the Esquiline Hill to the southeast, it is home to the Teatro dell'Opera and the Termini Railway Station.
According to Livy, the hill first became part of the city of Rome, along with the Quirinal Hill, during the reign of Servius Tullius, Rome' sixth king, in the 6th century BC.
Paul Sandner Moller (born December 11, 1936) is a Canadian engineer who has spent the past fifty years+ developing the Moller Skycar personal vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle.
Moller settled this lawsuit without admitting guilt by agreeing to a permanent injunction against claiming projected worth of Moller International stock and paying US$50,000.
In 2007, Moller announced that the M200G Volantor, a successor to the Moller Skycar, would hopefully be on the market in the United States by early 2008.
On May 18, 2009, Moller filed for personal protection under the Chapter 11 reorganization provisions of the federal bankruptcy law, however Moller International (corporation) did not file for bankruptcy and continues to do business .
Fictional colleges are perennially popular in modern novels, allowing the author much greater licence when describing the more intimate activities of a Cambridge college and a way of placing events that might not be permitted by actual Cambridge geography.
A software licensing audit or software compliance audit is an important sub-set of software asset management and component of corporate risk management.
When a company is unaware of what software is installed and being used on its machines, it can result in multiple layers of exposure.
The primary benefits a corporation receives from performing a software licensing audit are greater control and various forms of cost savings.
The audit is used both as an efficiency mechanism to improve software distribution within an organisation and as a preventative mechanism to avoid copyright infringement prosecution by software companies.
Software licensing audits are an important part of software asset management, but also serve as a method of corporate reputation management by ensuring that the company is operating within legal and ethical guidelines.
Software audits should not be confused with code audits, which are carried out on the source code of a software project.
The typical examples are switching from the single permissive license to the dual licensing model (the choice between strong reciprocal or paid commercial) as for iText, switching from more reciprocal to more permissive license (as for Qt Extended) and opensourcing the previously commercial code (as for OpenJDK).
In such cases it is not enough to detect that some library or code fragment has been used - an exact used version must be correctly identified.
Further difficulties may arise if the library owner removes the obsolete versions (that were under different license) from the public sources.
In such case the proper audit must take into consideration if the library has been linked or the derivative work (custom branch) has been created.
Finally, some software packages may internally contain fragments of the source code (such as source code of the Oracle Java) that may be provided only for reference or have various other licenses, not necessary compatible with the internal policies of the company.
If the software team actually does not use (or even is not aware) about such fragments, this must be viewed differently from the case if they would be directly linked.
All these issues are relatively easy to resolve if the auditing group cooperates with the software team that normally should know the used versions and so on.
It is also now embraced within ISO/IEC 27001:2005 Information Technology - Security Techniques - Information Security Management Systems - Requirements and ISO/IEC 17799:2005 Information Technology - Security Techniques - Code of Practice for Information Security Management.
Software asset management is a comprehensive strategy that has to be addressed from top to bottom in an organisation to be effective, to minimize risk.
The audit process itself should be a continuing action, and modern SAM software identifies what is installed, where it is installed, its usage, and provides a reconciliation of this discovery against usage.
From time to time internal or external (by major accounting firms) audits may take a forensic approach to establish what is installed on the computers in an organisation with the purpose of ensuring that it is all legal and authorised and to ensure that its process of processing transactions or events is correct.
Though one might be confronted with a software vendor audit by fair contractual and legal means, one should know and reserve one's crucial rights in an audit situation as well.
Software audits are a component of corporate risk management, and they certainly minimise the risk of prosecution for copyright infringement due to use of unlicensed software.
Vendors subscribe to organizations such as the Federation Against Software Theft (FAST) and the Business Software Alliance (BSA) as a means of providing an industry approach to control piracy, counterfeiting, and illegal use of software.
They publicize campaigns against illegal use of software and reward any employees who notify them of any breaches which result in successful prosecution and/or recovery of license fees.
As such there are times when those substances may not be able to pass over the cell membrane using protein-independent movement.
The cell membrane is imbedded with many membrane transport proteins that allow such molecules to travel in and out of the cell.
GLUT1 is a transmembrane protein, which means it spans the entire width of the cell membrane, connecting the extracellular and intracellular region.
It is a uniport system because it specifically transports glucose in only one direction, down its concentration gradient across the cell membrane.
An example of a symport mediated transport protein is SGLT1, a sodium/glucose co-transporter protein that is mainly found in the intestinal tract.
The SGLT1 protein is a symport system because it passes both glucose and sodium in the same direction, from the lumen of the intestine to inside the intestinal cells.
An example of an antiport mediated transport protein is the sodium-calcium antiporter, a transport protein involved in keeping the cytoplasmic concentration of calcium ions in the cells, low.
This transport protein is an antiport system because it transports three sodium ions across the plasma membrane in exchange for a calcium ion, which is transported in the opposite direction.
The change of shape or other added substances such as ATP will, in turn, cause the transport protein to alter its shape and release the molecule onto the other side of the cell membrane.
The rating percentage index, commonly known as the RPI, is a quantity used to rank sports teams based upon a team's wins and losses and its strength of schedule.
It is one of the sports rating systems by which NCAA basketball, baseball, softball, hockey, soccer, lacrosse, and volleyball teams are ranked.
This system was in use in Division I men's college basketball from 1981 through 2018 to aid in the selecting and seeding of teams appearing in the men's playoffs (see March Madness), and has been used in the women's tournament since its inception in 1982.
During the 2018 offseason, the NCAA announced that the RPI would no longer be used in the selection process for the Division I men's basketball tournament.
This new metric will initially be used only by the Division I men's selection committee—the Division I women's basketball committee, plus all other NCAA selection committees, continue to use their own versions of the RPI.
In its current formulation, the index comprises a team's winning percentage (25%), its opponents' winning percentage (50%), and the winning percentage of those opponents' opponents (25%).
Thus, the SOS accounts for 75% of the RPI calculation and is 2/3 its opponents' winning percentage and 1/3 its opponents' opponents' winning percentages.
Other ranking systems which include the margin of victory of games played or other statistics in addition to the win/loss results have been shown to be a better predictor of the outcomes of future games.
However, because the margin of victory has been manipulated in the past by teams or individuals in the context of gambling, the RPI can be used to mitigate motivation for such manipulation.
Also, some mid-major conferences regularly compel their member teams to schedule opponents ranked in the top half of the RPI, which could boost the strength of that conference and/or its tougher-scheduling teams.
In basketball, the Missouri Valley Conference has successfully done this: It has become one of the top-rated RPI conferences, despite having very few of its teams ranked in the two national Top 25 polls.
The current and commonly used formula for determining the RPI of a college basketball team at any given time is as follows.
For Division 1 NCAA Men's basketball, the WP factor of the RPI was updated in 2004 to account for differences in home, away, and neutral games.
This changehttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rating_percentage_index&action=edit was based on statistical data that consistently showed home teams in Division I basketball winning about two-thirds of the time.
As an example, if a team loses to Syracuse at home, beats them away, and then loses to Cincinnati away, their record would be 1–2.
The OWP is calculated by taking the average of the WP's for each of the team's opponents with the requirement that all games against the team in question are removed from the equation.
Continuing from the example above, assume Syracuse has played one other game and lost, while Cincinnati has played two other teams and won.
Thus the OWP of the team is (0/1 + 0/1 + 2/2) / 3 (number of opponents – Syracuse, Syracuse, Cincinnati).
Syracuse has played and beat the team in question (which, excluding the games against Syracuse, only lost to Cincinnati), lost to the team in question (excluding Syracuse, only lost to Cincinnati), and lost one other game (excluding Syracuse, this team has no WP).
Cincinnati has played the team in question (excluding Cincinnati, they went 1–1 vs. Syracuse) and won versus two other opponents each of which have no WP when games versus Cincinnati are excluded.
Due to the heavy weighting of opponents winning percentage, beating a team with a bad RPI may actually hurt your RPI.
The NCAA announced on August 22, 2018 that the RPI would no longer be used in the Division I men's basketball selection process, and would be replaced by the aforementioned NET.
Game date and order are not included in the NET—all games are treated equally, whether an early-season matchup or a conference tournament championship game.
The formula used in NCAA baseball is the same as that used in basketball except for the adjustment of home and road records.
Neutral-site games have a value of 1.0, but the committee is studying how to determine if a game should be considered a neutral-site contest.
Some schools are able to play 35–40 of their 56 allowable games at home, while other teams, due to factors such as weather, may play only 20 home games.
Bonus points were awarded for beating top-75 non-conference opponents on the road and penalty points were given for losing to bottom-75 non-conference opponents at home.
Bonuses and penalties were on a sliding scale, separated into groups of 25, with the top bonus for a road win against a top-25 team and the worst penalty for a home loss to a bottom-25 opponent.
A membrane transport protein (or simply transporter) is a membrane protein involved in the movement of ions, small molecules, and macromolecules, such as another protein, across a biological membrane.
Transport proteins are integral transmembrane protein; that is they exist permanently within and span the membrane across which they transport substances.
In contrast, a channel can be open to both environments at the same time, allowing the molecules to diffuse without interruption.
When a channel is opened, millions of ions can pass through the membrane per second, but only 100 to 1000 molecules typically pass through a carrier molecule in the same time.
Unlike channel proteins which only transport substances through membranes passively, carrier proteins can transport ions and molecules either passively through facilitated diffusion, or via secondary active transport.
The molecule or ion to be transported (the substrate) must first bind at a binding site at the carrier molecule, with a certain binding affinity.
Following binding, and while the binding site is facing the same way, the carrier will capture or occlude (take in and retain) the substrate within its molecular structure and cause an internal translocation so that the opening in the protein now faces the other side of the plasma membrane.
Facilitated diffusion is the passage of molecules or ions across a biological membrane through specific transport proteins and requires no energy input.
Facilitated diffusion is used especially in the case of large polar molecules and charged ions; once such ions are dissolved in water they cannot diffuse freely across cell membranes due to the hydrophobic nature of the fatty acid tails of the phospholipids that make up the bilayers.
They are still transmembrane carrier proteins, but these are gated transmembrane channels, meaning they do not internally translocate, nor require ATP to function.
The substrate is taken in one side of the gated carrier, and without using ATP the substrate is released into the cell.
Transporter reversal typically occurs when a membrane transport protein is phosphorylated by a particular protein kinase, which is an enzyme that adds a phosphate group to proteins.
The transmembrane electron transfer carriers in the membrane include two-electron carriers, such as the disulfide bond oxidoreductases (DsbB and DsbD in E. coli) as well as one-electron carriers such as NADPH oxidase.
For example, GLUT1 is a named carrier protein found in almost all animal cell membranes that transports glucose across the bilayer.
Cysteinuria (cysteine in the urine and the bladder) is such a disease involving defective cysteine carrier proteins in the kidney cell membranes.
This transport system normally removes cysteine from the fluid destined to become urine and returns this essential amino acid to the blood.
When this carrier malfunctions, large quantities of cysteine remain in the urine, where it is relatively insoluble and tends to precipitate.
The current municipality was created in 1999 by the amalgamation of the Town of Kincardine, the Township of Kincardine, and the Township of Bruce.
In addition to the main population centre of Kincardine itself (population 6,725), the municipality also contains the smaller communities of Armow, Baie du Dore, Bervie, Glammis, Inverhuron, Millarton, North Bruce, Tiverton, and Underwood.
The Town of Kincardine, the Township of Kincardine, and the Township of Bruce were then amalgamated to form the Township of Kincardine-Bruce-Tiverton on January 1, 1999, with boundaries identical to those of the municipality that had existed in 1855.
After the first election of the new municipal council, a plebiscite was conducted, and the name changed to the Municipality of Kincardine.
The council includes a mayor elected at large, two councillors elected from Ward 1 (the former Town of Kincardine), one from Ward 2 (the former Township of Kincardine), one from Ward 3 (the former Township of Bruce).
The Bluewater District School Board is the school board for the Kincardine area, and Kincardine District Secondary School is the local high school for most students.
There are 5 local elementary schools, Elgin Market Public School, Huron Heights Public School, St. Anthony's Catholic School, Kincardine Township-Tiverton Public School (located in Kincardine Township), and Ripley Huron Community School (located in Ripley).
The economy of Kincardine is dominated by the Bruce Nuclear Power Development since the 1970s, which is currently operated by Bruce Power, a private company under lease from Ontario Power Generation.
Ontario Power Generation's Deep Geologic Repository for low and intermediate-level waste at the plant has been planned since 2001 and is awaiting federal approval.
Further, the Kincardine Family Health Team, a Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care Initiative is located in the community offering programs and services surrounding health promotion and disease prevention.
The local community centre, The Davidson Centre is the central location for most recreation activities as it has a park, skate park, soccer fields, track (indoor & outdoor), swimming pool, gym, basketball court and hockey rink.
Also every night in the summer (except for Saturdays) the Phantom Piper (a bag piper) plays his bagpipes on top of the light house at sunset.
Showcasing Kincardine's artistic side, Kincardine is also home to Sundown Theatre (Summer Performance Company), Bluewater Summer Playhouse (Drama Festival) and The Kincardine Summer Music Festival.
The town's old lighthouse and museum are located on it, as well as The Erie Belle Restaurant and the Harbour Street Brasserie.
Perhaps the most famous landmark on Harbour Street is the Walker House, the oldest building in Kincardine, which is now a museum.
Youree Dell Harris (August 12, 1962 – July 26, 2016) was an American television personality best known as Miss Cleo, a spokeswoman for a psychic pay-per-call service called Psychic Readers Network from 1997 to 2003.
In 1996, Harris and her partner opened a theatrical production company in Seattle, Washington, which produced several plays written by her.
Charges of deceptive advertising and of fraud on the part of the Psychic Readers Network began to surface around this time.
In 2002, the Federal Trade Commission charged the company's owners and Harris' promoters, Steven Feder and Peter Stotz, with deceptive advertising, billing, and collection practices; Harris was not indicted.
Her promoters agreed to settle by erasing $500 million of debt owed by its victims to Psychic Readers Network and paying a $5 million fine to the Federal Trade Commission.
It emerged during a lawsuit in Florida that Harris had been born in Los Angeles, and that her parents were U.S. citizens.
The Psychic Readers Network intervened, however, saying that it owned the character of Miss Cleo, and the advertisements were no longer aired.
Nicholas Vivian Howard Mallett (born 30 October 1956) is a former South African rugby union player who played for the Springboks, South Africa's national rugby union team, in 1984.
He also coached the Springboks between 1997 and 2000 and was the head coach of Italy's rugby union team between 2007 and 2011.
Born on 30 October 1956 in Hertford Heath, England, Mallett moved to Rhodesia with his family in 1956 when he was only six weeks old, and his father, Tony Mallett, took up a post as an English teacher at the recently founded Peterhouse Boys' School, in Marandellas near Salisbury.
Nick first arrived in Cape Town, South Africa in 1963, when his father was appointed Headmaster of Diocesan College, after which he attended St. Andrew's College, Grahamstown.
In 1979 Mallett moved back to England to attend University College at the University of Oxford, where he not only gained further qualifications but also won Blues in rugby union and cricket, famously hitting three sixes in one over off Ian Botham.
Eventually he returned to South Africa, where he represented Western Province in four consecutive Currie Cup wins between 1982 and 1985, and played two games for the Springboks in 1984 against the South American Jaguars.
Mallett once again left South Africa in 1985, this time for France, where he played and coached rugby for seven years until 1992 before eventually returning to South Africa in 1994 and taking a job as Head of the False Bay Rugby Club until 1995.
Between 1995 and 1996, Mallett took up the role of head coach of the Boland Cavaliers before being appointed assistant coach to the Springboks in 1996 and finally getting the job of Springbok Coach in 1997.
Between August 1997 and December 1998, under Mallett's guidance, the Springboks went on a record winning streak of 17 consecutive test wins.
As part of the unbeaten run the Springboks won the Tri Nations Series undefeated and beat several teams by record margins, including a 52–10 against France in Paris, a 68–10 win over Scotland in Edinburgh, a 33–0 defeat of Ireland and a 96–13 against Wales.
The run ended when the Springbok team was defeated by England at Twickenham at the end of a long tour on 5 December 1998.
The relationship between Mallet and Gary Teichmann, one of South Africa's most successful team captains ever (with 36 wins), began to sour and Teichman was controversially excluded from the 1999 Rugby World Cup squad.
Mallet looked for a new captain, first turning to Corné Krige then Rassie Erasmus, Joost van der Westhuizen and André Vos for a solution.
In the end, despite the internal instability in the squad, the Springboks managed four consecutive wins and were finally knocked out of the championship in the semi-final by eventual winners Australia.
Despite his team's relatively mediocre results of 8 wins and 5 losses in 1999, the Springboks still managed to break more records, beating Italy 101–0 and England in the quarter-final 44–21, with Jannie de Beer kicking a world-record five drop goals in that game.
He had alienated the SARFU executive, and on 27 September he resigned as national coach at the start of a disciplinary hearing began into allegations that his comments had brought the game into disrepute.
Some fans, upset by how he had treated Teichman and his team's sudden poor performance, were also keen to see him go.
Mallett moved back to France as coach for the Paris club Stade Français, which he led to two consecutive French domestic title wins in 2003 and 2004 before returning to South Africa where he accepted the job of Director of Rugby at Western Province.
Initially there was speculation that he might coach the Springbok team again, but those rumours were quashed by the appointment of Jake White as the new South African coach.
Mallet was linked with the position of England coach after the coerced resignation of Andy Robinson in 2006, a position that eventually went to Brian Ashton.
His Six Nations debut was fairly impressive; Italy were defeated by Ireland 11–16 in the first game, but came close to victory against Jonny Wilkinson's England team.
During the summer test matches, he got a good result against South Africa, the world champions at the time, in Cape Town, despite Italy losing 0–26.
Despite this victory, Italy's only win in the competition, they didn't avoid the wooden spoon because Scotland's points difference was just one better.
In November 2011, after the World Cup in New Zealand, Nick Mallett's contract as head coach of Italy expired and he returned to Cape Town with Frenchman Jacques Brunel taking over the Italy job.
Mallett has stated that he wishes to spend time with his family in South Africa, despite being briefly linked to the position as Coach of England following Martin Johnson's resignation.
It ceased publication abruptly in late 1997, following the death of co-founder Kathy Keeton; activity on the magazine's website ended the following April.
The magazine also published original science fiction and fantasy by William S. Burroughs, Joyce Carol Oates, Jonathan Carroll, Julio Cortazar, T. Coraghessan Boyle, and other mainstream writers.
An Italian edition was edited by Alberto Peruzzo and ran for 20 issues from 1981 to 1983, when Peruzzo detached the name Omni from his local edition.
The Japanese edition ran from 1982 to the summer of 1989 and included almost entirely different content to the American edition.
A Russian edition was published in the Soviet Union beginning in September 1989 in conjunction with the USSR Academy of Sciences.
This arrangement was intended to last for one year and was made possible by the Glasnost events in the Soviet Union.
A French-language, dubbed version of the show appeared on the Canadian public TV network Radio-Québec (now known as Télé-Québec) in 1994.
Under the umbrella of PGMI, OMNI was reimagined as a series of print quarterlies starting in 2017, with Pamela Weintraub as Editor-in-Chief and Ellen Datlow as Fiction Editor.
SO-DIMMs are often used in systems that have limited space, which include laptops, notebooks, small-footprint personal computers such as those based on Mini-ITX motherboards, high-end upgradable office printers, and networking hardware such as routers and NAS devices.
In both cases the notch is located at one fifth of the board length (20 pins + notch + 80 pins), but in DDR2 the notch is located slightly closer to the center of the board.
SO-DIMMs are nearly equal in power and voltage rating to DIMMs; SO-DIMM technology does not mean lower performance compared to larger DIMMs.
For example, DDR3 SO-DIMMs provide clock speeds such as 533 MHz (1066 MT/s, PC3-8500), CAS latencies such as 7, and higher capacities such as 4 GB per module.
It is named for James Bruce, 8th Earl of Elgin and 12th Earl of Kincardine, sixth Governor General of the Province of Canada.
Huron County was organized in the Huron District in 1845, and the District itself (which had been continued for judicial purposes) was abolished at the beginning of 1850.
Legislation passed later in the same session of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada provided instead for it to be reconstituted as the United Counties of Huron, Perth and Bruce, with the territory of the Bruce Peninsula withdrawn and annexed to Waterloo County.
The County of Perth was given its own Provisional Municipal Council at that time, and was separated from the United Counties in 1853.
In 1849, the Huron District Council initially united the area of the county with the United Townships of Wawanosh and Ashfield as a single municipality, which lasted until 1851 when Wawanosh and Ashfield were withdrawn.
A Provisional Municipal Council was established for Bruce County at the beginning of 1857, Walkerton was initially proclaimed as the county seat, in preference to Kincardine, but local opposition (including an abortive attempt to have the county divided into Bruce and Saugeen) forced the proclamation to be deferred until each town and village had presented a case for its selection.
In 1863, the provisional council promoted a bill in the Legislative Assembly to divide the county into the counties of Bruce and Wallace, but it only went as far as second reading and did not proceed further.
The provisional council later asked for legislation to provide for a referendum as to whether Walkerton, Paisley, Kincardine or another place would be the most acceptable choice.
In early 1865, the provisional council asked for legislation to confirm the result, but changed its mind later in the year in favour of Walkerton.
Confirming legislation was passed in 1866 to provide for the dissolution of the United Counties on January 1, 1867, with Huron and Bruce becoming separate counties for all purposes.
In the areas around Sauble Beach and Southampton, some cottages are on land previously owned by a community or the County but now defined as part of the band's Native lands.
A lease relationship exists between the Saugeen First Nation and those who had built seasonal homes on most of the land in the lakeside area between urban Southampton and Sauble Beach.
The Saugeen First Nation also owns and controls a large area of the beach (south portion) within the community of Sauble Beach, referred to as Sauble Park.
In addition to the Sauble Park, the Saugeen First Nation claims the rights to another stretch of the public beach in the urban area, approximately 2 km long, west of Lakeshore Boulevard extending to a point between 1st St. South and 6th St. North.
Bruce County had a population of 68,147 based on the 2016 Canada census, representing a 3.1% growth since the 2011 census, lower than the provincial average of 4.6%.
Specifically, as of 2016, the median age of Bruce County is 48.5 years, much older than the Ontario median of 41.3.
Bruce County has basically no visible minorities, representing only of the population compared to the provincial average of , but has a relatively high aboriginal population representing of the population, higher than the provincial average of .
Bruce County is also overwhelmingly English speaking, with of the population having English as their mother tongue, but also has a German speaking population consisting of .
It takes place from May 1 until October 31 each year and families, couples, and individuals of all ages can participate.
In 2015, the Adventure Passport program was presented with a Tourism Marketing Campaign Award at the Ontario Tourism Summit in Toronto.
Spruce the Bruce supports local community efforts to facilitate long-term downtown revitalization plans, bringing together stakeholders to build community capacity and assist with strategic policy and capital investment.
The program provides communities with the resources to develop strategies and implementation methods necessary to maintain and grow healthy commercial areas in association with the County and various partners.
Bruce County is home to a number of conservation areas with the jurisdiction of Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority and Grey Sauble Conservation Authority.
North Haven is home of the Quinnipiac University School of Health Sciences, the School of Nursing, School of Law, School of Education, and School of Medicine on Bassett Road.
The first meeting house, completed in 1722, stood on the Green, west of what is now known as the Old Center Cemetery.
In 1838, the New Haven and Hartford Railroad had laid its tracks along the level sand plains by the Quinnipiac River.
This population shift necessitated the building of a new police station, firehouse, library, and five schools in the 1950s and 1960s to accommodate the needs of the growing community.
In spite of its rapid growth throughout the past few decades, however, this New England town still retains its town meeting form of government.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 21.1 square miles (54.6 km²), of which 20.8 square miles (53.8 km²) is land and 0.3 square miles (0.8 km²), or 1.52%, is water.
The center of town is an area stretching along U.S. Route 5, from approximately its interchange with I-91 in the north to Bailey Road in the south.
The racial makeup of the town was 92.98% White, 2.22% Black or African American, 0.09% Native American, 3.36% Asian, 0.01% Pacific Islander, 0.52% from other races, and 0.82% from two or more races.
There were 8,597 households out of which 31.0% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 64.2% were married couples living together, 8.1% had a female householder with no husband present, and 24.5% were non-families.
Of all households 21.0% were made up of individuals and 10.9% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
In the town, the population was spread out with 22.6% under the age of 18, 5.6% from 18 to 24, 27.2% from 25 to 44, 26.1% from 45 to 64, and 18.6% who were 65 years of age or older.
About 2.3% of families and 3.5% of the population were below the poverty line, including 1.6% of those under age 18 and 6.4% of those age 65 or over.
There are more than 75 manufacturing and commercial firms in North Haven, 40 of which are assessed at over $1,000,000 .
In 2013, Sustainable Building Systems, an international construction and tech firm, will consolidate its headquarters in North Haven, creating over 400 jobs.
School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University, the School of Health Sciences, the School of Nursing, the School of Law, and the School of Education.
To do that, they use the preen oil secreted by the uropygial gland, the dust of down feathers, or other means such as dust-bathing or anting.
During oil spills, animal conservationists that rescue penguins sometimes dress them in knitted sweaters to stop them from preening and thereby ingesting the mineral oil, which is poisonous.
Many social animals adapt preening and grooming behaviors for other social purposes such as bonding and the strengthening of social structures.
Grooming plays a particularly important role in forming social bonds in many primate species, such as chacma baboons and wedge-capped capuchins.
In humankind, mutual grooming relates closely to social grooming, which is defined as the process by which human beings fulfill one of their basic instincts, such as socializing, cooperating and learning from each other.
In research conducted by Holly Nelson (from the University of New Hampshire) and Glenn Geher (State University of New York at Paltz), individuals who chose their romantic partner reported more mutual grooming than others who focused in other types of relationships.
They claim that even though humans do not groom each other with the same fervor that other species do, they are groomers par excellence.
In the same investigation, researchers found that individuals with more promiscuous attitudes and those who scored high on the anxiety sub-scale on an adult attachment style measure tend to groom their partners more frequently.
These findings were also consistent with some of the functions of grooming: potential parental indicator, developing trust and courtship or flirtation.
A recent empirical study by Seinenu Thein-Lemelson (University of California, Berkeley) utilized an ethological approach to examine cross-cultural differences in human grooming as it pertains to caregiving behaviors.
This cross-cultural comparison of urban families in Burma and the United States indicates that there are significant cross-cultural differences in rates of caregiver-to-child grooming.
Additionally, children in the United States have short instances of concentrated grooming predominantly during daily activities that are structured explicitly around hygiene goals (bath time), in contrast to the Burmese child, whose grooming is distributed more evenly within and across daily activities.
Manual timers are typically set by turning a dial to the time interval desired; turning the dial stores energy in a mainspring to run the mechanism.
They function similarly to a mechanical alarm clock; the energy in the mainspring causes a balance wheel to rotate back and forth.
Each swing of the wheel releases the gear train to move forward by a small fixed amount, causing the dial to move steadily backward until it reaches zero when a lever arm strikes a bell.
The simplest and oldest type of mechanical timer is the hourglass, in which a fixed amount of sand drains through a narrow opening from one chamber to another to measure a time interval.
Short-period bimetallic electromechanical timers use a thermal mechanism, with a metal finger made of strips of two metals with different rates of thermal expansion sandwiched together; steel and bronze are common.
An electric current flowing through this finger causes heating of the metals, one side expands less than the other, and an electrical contact on the end of the finger moves away from or towards an electrical switch contact.
This type of timer often has a friction clutch between the gear train and the cam, so that the cam can be turned to reset the time.
Electromechanical timers survive in these applications because mechanical switch contacts may still be less expensive than the semiconductor devices needed to control powerful lights, motors and heaters.
Electromechanical timers reached a high state of development in the 1950s and 1960s because of their extensive use in aerospace and weapons systems.
Integrated circuits have made digital logic so inexpensive that an electronic timer is now less expensive than many mechanical and electromechanical timers.
Individual timers are implemented as a simple single-chip computer system, similar to a watch and usually using the same, mass-produced, technology.
Nowadays when people are using more and more mobile phones, there are also timer apps that mimic the old mechanical timer, but which have also highly sophisticated functions.
These apps are also easier to use daily, because they are available at once, without any need to purchase or carry the separate devices, as today timer is just a software application on a phone or tablet.
These timer apps can be used for tracking working or training time, motivating children to do tasks, replacing an hour glass in board games, or for the traditional purpose for tracking time when cooking and baking.
Some timer applications can help children to understand the concept of time, help them to finish tasks in time, and help them to get motivated.
These applications are especially used with children with special needs like ADHD, Down syndrome, etc., but everybody else can also benefit from them.
These are typically digital counters that either increment or decrement at a fixed frequency, which is often configurable, and which interrupt the processor when reaching zero.
An alternative design uses a counter with a sufficiently large word size that it will not reach its overflow limit before the end of life of the system.
More-sophisticated timers may have comparison logic to compare the timer value against a specific value, set by software, that triggers some action when the timer value matches the preset value.
This might be used, for example, to measure events or generate pulse width modulated wave forms to control the speed of motors (using a class D digital electronic amplifier).
One specialist use of hardware timers in computer systems is as watchdog timers, that are designed to perform a hardware reset of the system if the software fails.
Its founding sponsors include the CNA Foundation, the National Society of Professional Engineers, and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
The problems increase in difficulty between levels—perfect scores are relatively common at the school-level, while winners of the written round at the national-level do not often achieve a perfect score.
The exact number of qualifiers varies from region to region, depending on multiple factors including the number of competitors in the region.
At the National competition, all the competitors compete individually in the Sprint and Target Rounds, and the four individuals from each state compete in the Team Round to represent their state.
In the 2010–2011 program year, such schools were limited to individual participation with one exception: homeschool clubs that participated as a team in 2009–2010 were grandfathered into the 2010–2011 competition.
Starting with the 2011–2012 program year, the Board of Directors established new guidelines that again allowed home and virtual schools to participate both as individuals and as members of a team.
Questions in the Sprint Round are usually the easiest problems in the written individual contests because the Sprint Round is intended to test contestants' ability to solve problems within a tight time constraint.
The problems generally increase in difficulty so that nearly all students can solve the first few problems while few to none correctly answer the last few.
At some competitions, including Nationals, the winner of the Countdown Round is considered the overall champion or is used to determine qualification for later rounds.
However, at most Chapter and State competitions, the round doesn't have any effect on qualification for later rounds or final standings.
The National Countdown Round was shown on ESPN from 2003 to 2005, and now it is presented in a webcast every year.
The tenth and ninth-place finishers on the written portion played a match; the loser was ranked tenth while the winner played against the eighth-place competitor.
This continued until a challenger reached the first-place student; the loser of this final match ranked second while the winner was declared the champion.
This format is still used in many Chapter and State competitions, in part because Mathcounts requires that this structure be used if the Countdown Round will determine the final individual rankings.
In the first round, the top four scorers on the written portion received a bye into the second round leaving the fifth place to face off against the twelfth place, and the sixth place to face off against the eleventh place, etc.
This change was presumably made to ensure that the final round would be more exciting and more suspenseful, since now the champion must win at least three consecutive matches, while previously a student could potentially win the championship after defeating a single opponent.
At the national level and in some states, there is an additional round known as the Masters Round, open only to the top four contestants.
Participants are given thirty minutes to develop a fifteen-minute oral presentation based upon an advanced mathematical topic, not known to them before their preparation time begins.
While an award is given for the best presentation as determined by a panel of judges, the Masters Round does not affect participants' rankings.
In this round, which does not count for overall individual or team scores, each school sends one representative to a stage.
Scholarships are awarded to high-ranking students at the national competition, and many universities give scholarships to the top finishers at the state level.
Qualification for Mathcounts scholarships usually vary by state, but scholarships and prizes are often awarded to the top ten individuals and the top three state teams at the national level.
Each contestant's individual score is equal to his or her Sprint Round score (out of 30) plus twice his or her Target Round score (out of 8).
At the Chapter and State levels, ranking is determined by either raw individual score or by the results of the Countdown Round, depending on the state/chapter.
A team's score is equal the average of the sum of its members' individual scores plus twice the number of questions answered correctly on the team round.
With the individual scores of a maximum of 46 each and team-round scores a maximum of 20, a perfect team score is 66.
Mathcounts was started in 1983 by the National Society of Professional Engineers, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and CNA Foundation to increase middle school interest in mathematics.
The top team as well as the participants in the Countdown round often win a trip to the White House and meet the current President of the United States.
In 2006, a panel that consisted of over one hundred experts participated in a survey of psychological treatments; they considered rebirthing therapy to be discredited.
They are characterized by having no external ear openings, presumably to prevent sand from entering their bodies when they are digging.
Lesser earless lizards grow to approximately 2.0-2.5 inches (50–65 mm) snout-to-vent length (SVL), plus a tail 3-4 inches (75–100 mm) long.
They spend the vast majority of their time sunning on rocks, even in the heat of the day, until the surface temperature reaches approximately 104 °F (40 °C), when they will retreat to a rock crevice or burrow.
They are also found in Mexico, in the states of Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Sinaloa, Durango, Zacatecas, San Luis Potosí, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas and Veracruz.
It ranges from the mountains of southern Oregon to Baja California with the greatest concentration in northern California and the Oregon-California border.
James Anthony Bailey (July 4, 1847 – April 11, 1906), born James Anthony McGinnis, was an American circus ringmaster and impresario.
He was working as a bellhop in Pontiac, Michigan, when he was discovered by circus advertising advance man Frederic Harrison Bailey (a nephew of circus pioneer Hachaliah Bailey) as a teenager.
Bailey later associated with James E. Cooper, and by the time he was 22, he was manager of the Cooper and Bailey circus.
Barnum, and together they established Barnum and Bailey's Circus (for which Bailey was instrumental in obtaining Jumbo the Elephant) in 1880, with their combined show opening the following spring in Madison Square Garden.
In mathematics, the determinant of a skew-symmetric matrix can always be written as the square of a polynomial in the matrix entries, a polynomial with integer coefficients that only depend on the size of the matrix.
The value of this polynomial, when applied to the coefficients of a skew-symmetric matrix, is called the Pfaffian of that matrix.
which was first proved by , a work based on earlier work on Pfaffian systems of ordinary differential equations by Jacobi.
A non-zero generalisation of the Pfaffian to odd dimensional matrices is given in the work of de Bruijn on multiple integrals involving determinants.
Since calculating the Logarithm of a matrix is a computationally demanding task, one can instead compute all eigenvalues of formula_52, take the log of all of these and sum them up.
It is thought that the mountain is a dormant vent to a still active volcano (designated Iō-tō, the name of the island as a whole).
One eruption lasted for sixty-five minutes, and created a crater with a diameter of 35 meters and a depth of fifteen meters on the runway near the former World War II airfield.
The Japanese Meteorological Agency reported that on May 2, 2012, a small eruption caused water discoloration to the northeast, and confirmed the appearance of a new fumarole.
For the United States, Iwo Jima was an important strategic point between the United States and mainland Japan, a status that resulted in severe fighting that took the lives of nearly 7,000 Americans and 20,000 Japanese.
Joseph Antonio Charles Lamer, (July 8, 1933 – November 24, 2007) was a Canadian lawyer, jurist and the 16th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada.
Lamer practised in partnership at the firm of Cutler, Lamer, Bellemare and Associates and was a full professor in the Faculty of Law, Université de Montréal, where he was also a lecturer in criminology.
On December 19, 1969, at the age of 36, he was appointed to the Quebec Superior Court and to the Queen's Bench (Crown Side) of the province of Quebec.
In 1978, he was elevated to the Quebec Court of Appeal and was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1980.
Justice Bertha Wilson became the first woman appointed to the Ontario Court of Appeal in 1976 and to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1982.
Justice Lamer refused to rise from his chair along with the rest of his colleagues when Justice Wilson entered the conference room for her first judicial conference.
Lamer finally agreed to resign following a second meeting with Justices Major, Peter Cory and Charles Gonthier in the spring of 1999.
He announced in an August 1999 talk to the Canadian Bar Association, that he would be resigning from the Supreme Court in January 2000.
After he retired, Lamer joined a large law firm, Stikeman Elliott, in a senior advisory role and was appointed Associate Professor of Law at the Université de Montréal in 2000.
In a CBC interview, Lamer described how the Supreme Court of Canada was transformed following the 1982 Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms under then Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau which expanded the role of the judiciary.
In March 2003, the government of Newfoundland and Labrador asked Lamer to head a high-profile inquiry into several wrongful convictions in Newfoundland specifically to oversee an inquiry into how the criminal justice system dealt with three discredited murder convictions.
Lamer was tasked to conduct an investigation into the death of Catherine Carroll and the circumstances surrounding the resulting criminal proceedings against Gregory Parsons, and an investigation into the death of Brenda Young and the circumstances surrounding the resulting criminal proceedings against Randy Druken.
Lamer was also asked to inquire as to why Ronald Dalton's appeal of his murder conviction took eight years before it was brought on for a hearing in the Court of Appeal.
Born in Montreal, Quebec, Lamer served in the Royal Canadian Artillery from 1950 to 1954 and in the Canadian Intelligence Corps from 1954 to 1960.
In 1956, he graduated in law from the Université de Montréal and was called to the Bar of Quebec in 1957.
During his tenure he was well known among the bench to be a frequent consumer of alcohol, especially wine, and have various drug prescriptions to deal with his declining health.
Various commentators and even other judges have vocally critiqued these habits of his as reason for him to resign from the court.
He received honorary degrees from the Université de Moncton, University of Ottawa, Université de Montréal, University of Toronto, University of New Brunswick, Dalhousie University, University of British Columbia, and Saint Paul University.
Thus, the college covers areas not only inside of Genesee County but also in Orleans County, Livingston County and Wyoming County.
In January 1972, Genesee Community College relocated to its current permanent address on One College Road in the town of Batavia.
In 1991, GCC would see expansion with the addition of the Stuart Steiner Theatre, which houses a theater and stage, as well as expanded classrooms for the various arts programs.
In 2000, the Conable Technology Building was added to the main campus facilities, a two-story annex that is the center for most of GCC's technological programs and apparatus.
In January 2006, GCC expanded again, adding the Wolcott J. Humphrey III Student Union, a central location for student affairs and organizations.
In February 2009, the plans for another campus center in Lima was announced, which will replace the Lakeville satellite campus and in June 2009, construction of the campus was completed.
The campus features two modern computer labs and a state-of-the-art science lab, five to seven classrooms, a lobby and reception area, as well as faculty, staff, advisor, and administrative offices.
As of fall 2008, Genesee Community College's enrollment consisted of 3,124 full-time students and 3,548 part-time students, with 108 international students from more than 19 countries.
Genesee Community College currently has 14 intercollegiate men's and women's' teams in basketball, baseball, lacrosse, soccer, softball, golf, swimming, cheerleading, and volleyball.
While the Steiner Gallery does not house a permanent collection, it typically features three professional exhibitions and two student-work exhibitions each academic year.
The gallery was financed with funding from the State University of New York Construction Fund, and gifts from the Genesee Community College Foundation and Genesee Community College Association.
This was the impetus for what in time evolved into the Bailey component of what became the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
In 1837, Bailey sold the hotel and moved to Northern Virginia, bought the land surrounding the intersection of Leesburg Pike and Columbia Pike in Fairfax County, Virginia near Falls Church, Virginia, and gave Bailey's Crossroads his name.
In 1888, Barnum lent his name to a partnership with James Anthony Bailey, who had adopted the surname of Frederick Bailey, a nephew of Hachaliah's, to form the Barnum and Bailey Circus.
He became one of the directors of the Croton Turnpike Company, this eventually turned into a toll road through the middle of Somers where it became a major a major route.
More ways Hachaliah made a profit was by becoming a part-owner of a sloop which was used to transport farm animals.
Old Bet was the second elephant ever to be brought to the United States where Hachaliah brought the elephant to Hudson Valley in 1805 and then New York City in 1806.
Old Bet was originally supposed to be used as a draft animal, however, It didn't take long for Hachaliah to realize the rising interest that American's had on exotic animals.
Hachaliah then used this intrigue and began traveling at night so no one could get a glimpse of the animal and he would charge 25 cents per person to see Old Bet.
After Hachaliah's neighbors saw the booming success the exotic creature brought to Hachaliah, most of his neighbors started buying and showcasing exotic animals.
By 1808 Hachaliah took on two partners Benjamin Lent and Andrew Brunn each paying $1200 dor one/third of the interest on Old Bet.
Hachaliah also owned two more elephants after Old Bet was shot on tour by a local farmer who was angry with the amount of money and attention that was being spent on an elephant.
The port is a 50-mile-long complex of diversified public and private facilities located a few hours' sailing time from the Gulf of Mexico.
Located in the fourth-largest city in the United States, it is the busiest port in the U.S. in terms of foreign tonnage, second-busiest in the U.S. in terms of overall tonnage, and sixteenth-busiest in the world.
Though originally the port's terminals were primarily within the Houston city limits, the port has expanded to such a degree that today it has facilities in multiple communities in the surrounding area.
The Port of Houston is a cooperative entity consisting of both the port authority, which operates the major terminals along the Houston Ship Channel, and more than 150 private companies situated along Buffalo Bayou and Galveston Bay.
Many petroleum corporations have built refineries along the channel where they are partially protected from the threat of major storms in the Gulf of Mexico.
The original Port of Houston was located at the confluence of Buffalo Bayou and White Oak Bayou in downtown Houston by the .
Shipping points grew at multiple locations on Buffalo Bayou including the port of Harrisburg (now part of Houston) and the docks on the Allen Ranch.
By the end of the 19th century Buffalo Bayou had become a major shipping channel with traffic beginning to rival Galveston.
The citizens of Harris County approved creation of the modern port in 1909, believing that an inland port would better serve the region after the destructive Galveston Hurricane of 1900.
President Woodrow Wilson officially opened the port to traffic as the World Port of Houston and Buffalo Bayou on November 10, 1914.
In the 1930s the Port became the focus of labor conflict, with sometimes intense battles between strikers and authorities, during the 1935 Gulf Coast longshoremen's strike and the 1936 Gulf Coast maritime workers' strike among other incidents.
In 1911, there was a campaign persuading voters to approve a $1.25 million bond to raise money for dredging the waterway.
The campaign was successful and voters approved the bond issuance and creation of the Harris County Houston Ship Channel Navigation District that is called Port of Houston Authority (POHA) today.
Early supporters would prove to be correct; the port has grown to be one of the world's largest, overtaking the nearby Port of Galveston in significance.
The Port has two separate terminals dedicated to the handling of cargo containers: Barbours Cut (at Morgan's Point), and Bayport (in Pasadena, opened in October 2006).
Since the Houston Ship Channel is closed to recreational traffic, this is the only means by which the general public can view port operations, and thus the tours are highly popular.
The Port is operated by the Port of Houston Authority, an independent political subdivision of the State of Texas governed by a seven-member commission.
The City of Houston and the Harris County Commissioners Court each appoint two commissioners; these two governmental entities also jointly appoint the chairman of the Port Commission.
The Turning Basin Terminal is a multipurpose complex with open wharves and 37 docks that are used for direct discharge and loading of breakbulk, containerized, project or heavy-lift cargoes.
The goal of the renovation is to accommodate the increase in the transportation of steel, which increased more than 3.1 million tons in the first nine months of 2011, up from 1.9 million tons over the same period in the previous year.
For example, customs duties on imported goods entering the FTZ can be delayed until the cargo is removed from the zone.
Despite being one of the youngest major ports in the world (the port reached its 100th birthday in 2014) it has already racked up an impressive list of firsts.
The college's first home as the former Nabisco factory at 430 Buffalo Avenue (later as Days Inn Riverview at the Falls and Fallside Hotel and Conference Center).
The college has had a rich history in athletics in the past and has been known for their acceleration in wrestling and baseball.
At first they were known as The Niagara Frontiersmen and then the Trailblazers in 1984 and became the Thunderwolves in 2010.
Powerball is an American lottery game offered by 44 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Powerball's minimum advertised jackpot is $40 million (annuity); Powerball's annuity is paid in 30 graduated installments or winners may choose a lump sum payment instead.
One lump sum payment will be less than the total of the 30 annual payments because of the time value of money and also because one check for a much larger sum will be taxed at a greater rate than 30 checks each at a much lower sum will be taxed.
Since October 7, 2015, the game has used a 5/69 (white balls) + 1/26 (Powerballs) matrix from which winning numbers are chosen, resulting in odds of 1 in 292,201,338 of winning a jackpot per play.
On January 13, 2016, Powerball produced the largest lottery jackpot in history; the $1.586 billion jackpot was split by three tickets sold in Chino Hills, California, in Munford, Tennessee, and in Melbourne Beach, Florida.
In 2013, Wyoming became the 44th state to establish a lottery; the next year, it began, initially offering both Mega Millions and Powerball.
Using two drums to draw numbers from offers more manipulation by simultaneously allowing high jackpot odds, numerous prize levels and low overall odds of winning (as explained later, a ticket can win by matching only one number).
The drawings' host was longtime Iowa radio personality Mike Pace, who had hosted MUSL drawings since Lotto America began in 1988.
A few weeks later, Georgia became the only jurisdiction to leave Powerball (Maine, which joined MUSL in 1990, left when Powerball began).
It was set to offer Powerball; but in early 1999, new governor Jeb Bush prevented Florida from joining since he believed Powerball would hurt the existing Florida Lottery games.
With the start of Powerball sales in Florida on January 4, 2009 (with its first drawing on January 7), the matrices changed to 5/59 + 1/39 (adding four white ball numbers and dropping three red balls).
The Power Play option was modified; second prize, usually $200,000, was given an automatic 5x multiplier, making the 5+0 prize $1 million cash.
The bonus second prize if the jackpot exceeded its previous record by $25 million, triggered only twice, was eliminated with the 2012 format change.
The three hosts rotating announcing duties from Universal Studios were Tracy Wiu, Elizabeth Hart and Scott Adams (MUSL headquarters remained in Iowa, where its other draws are held).
The wheel that was used to determine the Power Play multiplier was retired when the drawings moved to Florida; a random number generator (RNG) was used until the 2012 format change.
On January 31, 2010, the date of the cross-sell expansion, Mega Millions and MUSL each added lotteries; eight Powerball members added Mega Millions by May.
Nebraska added Mega Millions on March 20, 2010, Oregon followed on March 28, 2010, Arizona joined Mega Millions on April 18, 2010, Maine added Mega Millions on May 9, 2010, Colorado and South Dakota joined Mega Millions on May 16, 2010.
Before the agreement, the only places that sold both Mega Millions and Powerball tickets were retailers straddling a border; one retailer on the Sharon, Pennsylvania/Masury, Ohio border sold both Mega Millions (via the Ohio Lottery) and Powerball (Pennsylvania) before the agreement and continued to be the only retailer to sell tickets for both lotteries.
Illinois joining Powerball on the expansion date, it became the second multi-jurisdictional lottery game (after Mega Millions, which Illinois already participated in) whose drawings were carried nationally.
WGN-TV aired Illinois Lottery drawings nationally from 1992 to 2015 after acquiring broadcast rights from Chicago's Fox owned-and-operated station WFLD in 1988, which took the rights from WGN-TV in 1987.
Powerball drawings were aired on WGN-TV and WGN America on Wednesday and Saturday immediately following the station's 9:00 p.m. (Central Time) newscast with the Mega Millions drawings being aired Tue and Fri evenings after the newscast.
WGN served as a default carrier of Mega Millions or Powerball where no local television station carries either multi-jurisdictional lottery's drawings.
On March 13, 2010, New Jersey became the first previous Mega Millions-only member (just before the cross-selling expansion) to produce a jackpot-winning Powerball ticket.
On May 28, 2010, North Carolina became the first previous MUSL member (just before the cross-selling expansion) to produce a jackpot-winning Mega Millions ticket; that jackpot was $12 million (annuity).
Ohio's second Powerball jackpot-winning ticket, sold for the June 23, 2010 drawing, was part of another first; since Montana also provided a jackpot winner for that drawing, it was the first time a jackpot was shared through lotteries which sold competing games before the cross-selling expansion, as Montana sold only Powerball before the expansion date.
On January 15, 2012, the price of each basic Powerball play doubled to $2, while PowerPlay games became $3; the minimum jackpot doubled to $40 million.
Sam Arlen began his tenure as host in 2012, with substitutes including Alexa Klein (nee Fuentes), Randy Traynor, and Laura W. Johnson.
These changes were made to increase the frequency of nine-figure jackpots; a Powerball spokesperson believed a $500 million jackpot was feasible (it became a reality within the year,) and that the first $1 billion jackpot in US history would occur by 2012 Less than three months after the Powerball changes, Mega Millions' jackpot reached $656,000,000 despite remaining a $1-per-play game.
In October 2014, Puerto Rico joined Powerball; the first mainly Spanish-speaking jurisdiction offering the game; as of 2016 it had not joined Mega Millions.
On October 4, 2015, the Powerball format changed again; the white-ball pool increased from 59 to 69 while the Powerball pool decreased from 35 to 26.
While this improved the chance of winning any prize to 1 in 24, it also lengthened the jackpot odds to 1 in 292,201,338.
In each game, players select five numbers from a set of 69 white balls and one number from 26 red Powerballs; the red ball number can be the same as one of the white balls.
In each drawing, winning numbers are selected using two ball machines: one containing the white balls and the other containing the red Powerballs.
When the machine selects a ball, the turntable slows to catch it, sends it up the shaft, and then down the rail to the display.
If the onsite location is unavailable, as was the case during Hurricane Michael, a backup machine is located at MUSL headquarters in Iowa.
While Mega Millions and Powerball each have similar jackpot odds despite having a different double matrix (Mega Millions is 5/75 + 1/15), since Powerball is $2 per play, it now takes $584,402,676 (not counting Power Play side bets) on average to produce a jackpot-winning ticket.
Activating it multiplies lower-tier winnings (base prize $50,000 or less) by up to 5, or 10 when the jackpot is under $150 million.
If a player selects a fixed amount of money to spend on tickets at a certain time, the player will give up one guess of the winning set of numbers every two times this player activates Power Play in respect of one of the purchased tickets.
§ Odds of winning 0+1 prize are 1:38.32 instead of 1:26 as there is the possibility of also matching at least one white ball.
All non-jackpot prizes are fixed amounts (except in California); they may be reduced and paid on a parimutuel basis, with each member paying differing amounts for the same prize tier, if the liability exceeds the funds in the prize pool for any game member.
Jackpot winners have the option of receiving their prize in cash (in two installments; one from the winning jurisdiction, then the combined funds from the other members) or as a graduated annuity paid in 30 yearly installments.
The advertised estimated jackpot represents the total payments that would be paid to jackpot winner(s) should they accept the annuity option.
This estimate is based on the funds accumulated in the jackpot pool rolled over from prior drawings, expected sales for the next drawing, and market interest rates for the securities that would be used to fund the annuity.
If the jackpot is not won in a particular drawing, the prize pool carries over to the next drawing, accumulating until there is a jackpot winner.
If the winner chooses the annuity, current market rates are used to calculate the graduated payment schedule and the initial installment is paid.
MUSL and its members accept all investment risk and are contractually obligated and liable to the winner to make all scheduled payments to annuity winners.
If a jackpot ticket is not claimed, the funds in the prize pool are returned to members in proportion to the amount they contributed to the prize pool.
If revenue from ticket sales falls below expectations, game members must contribute additional funds to the jackpot pool to cover the shortage; the most likely scenario where this can occur is if the jackpot is won in consecutive drawings.
Generally, Powerball players do not have to choose cash or annuity unless they win a jackpot (then they usually have 60 days to choose).
All Powerball prizes must be claimed within a period ranging from 90 days to a year, depending on where the ticket was bought.
There is no state income tax in Florida, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming, and only on interest and dividends in Tennessee and New Hampshire.
All revenue for Powerball ticket sales not used for jackpots is retained by each member; none of this revenue is shared with other lotteries.
Since the secondary prizes are defined in fixed amounts (except in California), if the liability for a given prize level exceed the funds in the prize pool for that level the amount of the prize may be reduced and the prize pool be distributed on a parimutuel basis and result in a prize lower than the fixed amounts given in the prize tables.
Because the quoted jackpot amount is an annuity of 30 graduated annual payments, its cash value relative to the annuity fluctuates.
MUSL starts with the cash value, built from a percentage of sales, and then calculates the advertised jackpot amount from that value, based on the average costs of the three best securities bids.
On March 27, 2019, a single ticket purchased in Wisconsin was the only winner of a $768.4 million ($477 million cash) Powerball jackpot, the third largest in U.S. lottery history.
On August 23, 2017, the owner of a Powerball ticket sold in Chicopee, Massachusetts won more than $750 million, one of the largest prizes in the lottery's history.
On January 13, 2016, the world's largest lottery jackpot, an annuity of approximately $1.586 billion, was split among three Powerball tickets in Chino Hills, California, Melbourne Beach, Florida and Munford, Tennessee, each worth $528.8 million.
Since there is no income tax in Florida or Tennessee (and California does not tax lottery winnings), the cash option after Federal withholdings is $187.2 million each.
On May 18, 2013, the world's largest one-ticket jackpot, an annuity of approximately $590.5 million ($ million today), was won by a Powerball ticket sold in Zephyrhills, Florida.
Other winners in excess of $250 million: On December 25, 2002, Jack Whittaker, president of a construction firm in Putnam County, West Virginia, won $314.9 million ($ million today), then a new record for a single ticket in an American lottery.
The Wests chose the cash payout of $164.4 million (before withholdings), smaller than Whittaker's cash payout in 2002 due to a then-recent change in the annuity structure.
On August 25, 2007, a jackpot worth $314 million ($ million today) was won by a retired auto worker from Ohio; that ticket was bought in Richmond, Indiana, a community that had previously sold a jackpot-winning ticket of over $200 million.
In November 2011, three Greenwich, Connecticut, financial executives shared a jackpot of $254.2 million ($ million today), the largest prize on a Connecticut-bought ticket.
The total payout to these winners was $19.4 million, with 89 winners receiving $100,000 each, while the other 21 winners received $500,000 each as they were Power Play selections.
However, all 110 winners had played numbers from fortune cookies made by Wonton Food Inc. of Long Island City, New York.
Had the fortune cookie given 42 as the Powerball number, these winners would have shared the $25 million jackpot: each $227,272 annuity or $122,727 cash (before withholdings).
Because of his employment as a curator at the Museum of Modern Art, O'Hara became prominent in New York City's art world.
O'Hara is regarded as a leading figure in the New York School—an informal group of artists, writers, and musicians who drew inspiration from jazz, surrealism, abstract expressionism, action painting, and contemporary avant-garde art movements.
Frank O'Hara, the son of Russell Joseph O'Hara and Katherine (née Broderick), was born on March 27, 1926, at Maryland General Hospital, Baltimore and grew up in Grafton, Massachusetts.
He grew up believing he had been born in June, but in fact had been born in March, his parents disguised his true date of birth because he was conceived out of wedlock.
O'Hara was heavily influenced by visual art and by contemporary music, which was his first love (he remained a fine piano player all his life and would often shock new partners by suddenly playing swathes of Rachmaninoff when visiting them).
That autumn O'Hara moved into an apartment in New York City with Joe LeSueur, who was his roommate and sometime lover for the next 11 years.
Known throughout his life for his extreme sociability, passion, and warmth, O'Hara had hundreds of friends and lovers throughout his life, many from the New York art and poetry worlds.
Soon after arriving in New York, he was employed at the Museum of Modern Art, selling postcards at the admissions desk, and began to write seriously.
He was also a friend of the artists Norman Bluhm, Mike Goldberg, Grace Hartigan, Willem de Kooning, Joan Mitchell, and Larry Rivers.
In the early morning hours of July 24, 1966, O'Hara was struck by a jeep on the Fire Island beach, after the beach taxi in which he had been riding with a group of friends broke down in the dark.
Attempts to bring negligent homicide charges against 23-year-old driver Kenneth L. Ruzicka were unsuccessful; many of O'Hara's friends felt the local police had conducted a lax investigation to protect one of their own locals.
The painter Larry Rivers, a longtime friend and lover, delivered one of the eulogies, along with Bill Berkson, Edwin Denby, and René d'Harnoncourt.
While O'Hara's poetry is generally autobiographical, it tends to be based on his observations of New York life rather than exploring his past.
I don't think my experiences are clarified or made beautiful for myself or anyone else, they are just there in whatever form I can find them.
.It may be that poetry makes life's nebulous events tangible to me and restores their detail; or conversely that poetry brings forth the intangible quality of incidents which are all too concrete and circumstantial.
His initial time in the Navy, during his basic training at Sampson Naval Training Center in upstate New York, along with earlier years spent at St. John's High School began to shape a distinguished style of solitary observation that would later inform his poems.
Immersed in regimented daily routine, first Catholic school then the Navy, he was able to separate himself from the situation and make witty and often singular studies.
This skill of scrutinizing and recording during the bustle and churn of daily life would, later, be one of the important aspects that shaped O'Hara as an urban poet writing off the cuff.
The essay encouraged O'Hara to write poetry that was embarrassing in its directness, and even seen as hostile to literary standards then in place.
But to give you a vague idea, one of its minimal aspects is to address itself to one person (other than the poet himself), thus evoking overtones of love without destroying love's life-giving vulgarity, and sustaining the poet's feelings toward the poem while preventing love from distracting him into feeling about the person.
As part of the New York School of poetry, O'Hara to some degree encapsulated the compositional philosophy of New York School painters.
On June 10, 2014, a plaque was unveiled outside one of O'Hara's New York City residences, at 441 East Ninth Street.
A pillow fight is a common game mostly played by young children (but also by teens and adults) in which they engage in mock physical conflict, using pillows as weapons.
The heft of a pillow can still knock a young person off balance, especially on a soft surface such as a bed, which is a common venue.
Modern pillows tend to be stronger and are often filled with a solid block of artificial filling, so breakage occurs far less frequently.
The Guinness World Record for the largest pillow fight was set in July 2015 at a St. Paul Saints baseball game, where 6,261 participated in the event that was sponsored by the local manufacturer My Pillow.
Robert George Brian Dickson, (May 25, 1916 – October 17, 1998), commonly known as Brian Dickson, was a Canadian lawyer, military officer and judge.
He was appointed a puisne justice of the Supreme Court of Canada on March 26, 1973, and subsequently appointed the 15th Chief Justice of Canada on April 18, 1984.
Dickson was born to Thomas Dickson and Sarah Elizabeth Gibson, in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, in 1916, although the family lived at that time in Wynyard.
His adolescence and young adulthood occurred during the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl years, which hit the Canadian prairies particularly hard.
All three would go into law, with Lederman becoming one of Canada's leading constitutional scholars and MacPherson becoming a justice of the Saskatchewan Court of Queen's Bench.
When the Legislature was sitting in the evenings, Dickson and Sandy MacPherson would come in the evenings to the Attorney General's office to do their homework, and then sit in the galleries of the Assembly and listen to the debates.
The Dickson family later moved to Winnipeg, where Dickson attended the University of Manitoba after graduating from Ridley College in 1934.
His first permanent job was with the Great-West Life Assurance Company, where he worked in the investment section for two years.
Dickson was called to the bar in 1940, but before practising law, he enlisted in the Canadian armed forces for active service.
In June 1940, he and his friend from law school, Clarence Shepard, signed up for active duty as second lieutenants with the Royal Canadian Artillery, joining the 38th Field Battery in Winnipeg.
His abilities attracted notice and he was chosen for staff training, returning to Canada for a course in 1943, followed with a tour of duty in British Columbia as brigade major with the Royal Canadian Artillery.
He was posted to the 2nd Canadian Army Group, Royal Canadian Artillery, and distinguished himself in Normandy, being mentioned in dispatches.
In August 1944, during the battle of Falaise Gap, Dickson was hit by friendly fire and severely wounded, leading to the amputation of his right leg.
By coincidence, two of his friends, Bill Ledermen and Clarence Shepard, were both serving in the area and witnessed the attack.
They later remembered the frantic attempts to have the attack called off, not knowing at the time Dickson was in the target area.
In 1983, he accepted the honorary lieutenant-colonelship of the 30th Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery, and was its honorary colonel from 1988 to 1992.
Dickson returned to Winnipeg in 1945 at the end of the war, joining the law firm of Aikins, Loftus, MacAulay, Turner, Thompson & Tritschler.
He became a successful corporate lawyer, and also lectured at the Faculty of Law of the University of Manitoba for six years, until 1954.
Two other volunteers on the committee were Lorne Campbell and Irwin Dorfman, both of whom would later serve as national president of the CBA.
In 1950, Dickson volunteered to be head of the Manitoba Red Cross, on the suggestion of a partner who told him it would only involve a few meetings per year.
Instead, Dickson took the position just in time for the 1950 Red River flood, with the Red reaching the highest level since 1861.
Under his direction, the Red Cross mobilised 4,000 volunteers, evacuated thousands and provided support to the people working on the dykes.
In 1963, Dickson was appointed to the Court of Queen's Bench of Manitoba and in 1967 was elevated to the Manitoba Court of Appeal.
On April 18, 1984, he was elevated to chief justice of Canada over the more senior Roland Ritchie, who was one year away from mandatory retirement at age 75 and was in ill health.
During his early years on the Supreme Court, Dickson frequently joined with Justice Laskin and Justice Spence on cases involving civil liberties, often in dissent from the more conservative majority on the Court.
However, by a division of 6–3, the Court also held that unilateral federal action would violate a constitutional convention that had emerged since Confederation, requiring substantial provincial agreement on constitutional amendments.
Dickson, along with the three judges from Quebec, was in the majority on both issues: he agreed that Parliament had the legal authority to act unilaterally, but also agreed that a constitutional convention required a substantive degree of provincial agreement for major constitutional amendments.
The is a two-seat carrier-based dive bomber developed by the Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal and operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1942 to 1945 during World War II.
While the aircraft was originally conceived as a dive bomber, the D4Y was used in other roles including reconnaissance, night fighter and special attack (kamikaze).
It made its combat debut as a reconnaissance aircraft when two pre-production D4Y1-Cs embarked aboard the Sōryū to take part in the Battle of Midway in 1942.
The early D4Y1 and D4Y2 featured the liquid-cooled Aichi Atsuta engine, a licensed version of the German Daimler-Benz DB 601, while the later D4Y3 and D4Y4 featured the Mitsubishi MK8P Kinsei radial engine.
Like many other Japanese aircraft of the time, the D4Y lacked armor and self-sealing fuel tanks and it was not until the final variant, the D4Y4, that the aircraft was given bulletproof glass and armor protection for the crew and fuel tanks.
Only the delays in its development hindered its service while its predecessor, the slower fixed-gear Aichi D3A, remained in service much longer than intended.
Famously, a D4Y was used in one of the final kamikaze attacks in 1945, hours after the surrender of Japan, with Vice Admiral Matome Ugaki in the rear cockpit.
Development of the aircraft began in 1938 at the Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal when the Kaigun Kōkū Hombu issued requirements of a Navy Experimental 13-Shi Carrier Borne specification for an carrier-based dive bomber to replace the Aichi D3A.
It had a crew of two: a pilot and a navigator/radio-operator/gunner, seated under a long, glazed canopy which provided good all-round visibility.
The aircraft was powered by an Aichi Atsuta liquid-cooled inverted V12 engine, a licensed copy of the German DB 601, rated at 895 kW (1,200 hp).
In order to conform with the Japanese Navy's requirement for long range, weight was minimized by not fitting the D4Y with self-sealing fuel tanks or armour.
It usually carried one 500 kg (1,100 lb) bomb but there were reports that the D4Y sometimes carried two 250 kg (550 lb) bombs, for example during the attack on the light aircraft carrier ; only 30 kg (70 lb) bombs were carried externally.
The aircraft was armed with two 7.7 mm (.303 in) Type 97 aircraft machine guns in the nose and a 7.92 mm (.312 in) Type 1 machine gun selected for its high rate of fire, in the rear of the cockpit.
torpedo bombers) like the Nakajima B5N and B6N which were not given forward-firing armament until the late-war Aichi B7A, which was expected to serve as both a dive-bomber and torpedo-bomber, and was given a pair of 20mm Type 99-2 cannon.
After the prototype trials, problems with flutter were encountered, a fatal flaw for an airframe subject to the stresses of dive bombing.
Until this could be resolved, early production aircraft were used as reconnaissance aircraft, as the D4Y1-C, which took advantage of its high speed and long range, while not over-stressing the airframe.
Production of the D4Y1-C continued in small numbers until March 1943, when the increasing losses incurred by the D3A resulted in production switching to the D4Y1 dive-bomber, the aircraft's structural problems finally being solved.
From the beginning, some had argued that the D4Y should be powered by an air-cooled radial engine which Japanese engineers and maintenance crew had experience with, and trusted.
Although the new engine improved ceiling and rate of climb (over 10,000 m/32,800 ft, and climb to 3,000 m/9,800 ft in 4.5 minutes, instead of 9,400 m/30,800 ft and 5 minutes), the higher fuel consumption resulted in reduced range and cruising speed and the engine obstructed the forward and downward view of the pilot, hampering carrier operations.
They did, however, cause considerable damage to ships, including the carrier which was nearly sunk by an assumed single D4Y and the light carrier which was sunk by a single D4Y.
The D4Y was operated from the following Japanese aircraft carriers: , , , , , , , , , and .
It was faster than the Grumman F4F Wildcat, but not the new Grumman F6F Hellcat which entered combat in September 1943.
The D4Y was relegated to land operations where both the liquid-cooled engine D4Y2, and the radial engine D4Y3 fought against the U.S. fleet, scoring some successes.
The Japanese had begun installing rocket boosters on some Kamikazes, including the D4Y4 in order to increase speed near the target.
As the D4Y4 was virtually identical in the air to the D4Y3, it was difficult to determine the sorties of each type.
The D4Y was faster than the A6M Zero and some were employed as D4Y2-S night fighters against Boeing B-29 Superfortress bombers late in the war.
Some examples also carried two or four 10 cm air-to-air rockets under the wings; lack of radar for night interceptions, inadequate climb rate and the B-29's high ceiling limited the D4Y2-S effectiveness as a night fighter.
Among the last of these were 11 aircraft led by Vice Admiral Matome Ugaki on a suicide mission on 15 August 1945, of which all but three were lost.
Members of the dominant species of the planet Krypton are indistinguishable from humans in terms of their appearance; their physiology and genetics; however, they are vastly different.
In some continuities Kryptonians are difficult to clone because their DNA is so complex that human science is not advanced enough to decipher it.
On the planet Krypton, whose parent star has often been depicted as an ancient red supergiant with a relatively low energy output, their natural abilities were the same as humans.
When exposed to a young yellow star like Earth's Sun, which is much smaller than their own sun and with a vastly higher energy output, their bodies are able to absorb and process so much energy that it eventually manifests as vast superhuman powers (such as superhuman strength, superhuman speed, invulnerability, flight, x-ray vision, heat vision and superhuman senses).
Also, in both Silver Age and Modern Age continuity, Kryptonians have more than one ethnic group, such as dark-skinned Kryptonians from Krypton's Vathlo Island that resemble Earth humans of Sub-Saharan African descent and a group from the continent of Twenx that resemble Earth Asian and Latino peoples.
In later depictions, their abilities are attributed to the differences between Earth's gravity and that of Krypton and the different radiation of the stars they orbit.
Kryptonians use solar energy from yellow, blue, orange or white stars on the cellular and molecular levels to gain superhuman abilities.
Some stories also show that Kryptonians have bioelectric fields that surround their bodies and protect them from harm and which are the means by which Kryptonians fly.
Mating between Kryptonians and other species is difficult because Kryptonian DNA is so complex as to be nearly incompatible with that of other species.
The only notable exception is represented by the original native Daxamite population (the race that bore that name before intermingling with the Kryptonian explorers, who later adapted the name for themselves).
Breeding between Kryptonian explorers and this race created a new Kryptonian hybrid race that could interbreed with a larger number of humanoid races—including Earth humans.
However, in some continuations humans are not only able to reproduce with Kryptonians, but are able to create fertile offspring with them.
Self-grown crystals, both natural and synthetic, which covered the vast majority of their planet's surface gave their homeworld a bluish hue when viewed from space and underlay Kryptonian technology.
The Fortress of Solitude is often portrayed as a recreation of Krypton's surface and a storehouse for all the knowledge that the Kryptonian race had obtained.
Non-superpowered Kryptonians are genetically dependent to their home planet; as such, Kal-El was sent to Earth as a newly conceived embryo within a birthing matrix in order to survive in Earth's atmosphere.
Instead, the worst criminals were sent to the Phantom Zone, despite a lack of understanding of the nature of the zone, its danger to the imprisoned and the presence of exits.
It was worshiped by the Kryptonians as a deity (albeit in a more scientific and rational way as the giver and sustainer of all life on the planet).
While many Kryptonians wear brightly colored clothes on a daily basis, formal occasions such as funerals and certain council meetings require everyone to wear white.
Arranged marriages between the members of nobility are common, sometimes as early as birth (as was revealed to be the case with Kal-El), and numerous concubines are allowed.
Settling of noble disputes by private duels is fully legal (although highly uncommon) and apparently gives advantages in terms of reputation.
Criminals are punished for capital crimes by having their bodies dispersed across the universe (the process is reversible, at least until a certain stage).
The style of these depictions has since evolved over the life of the series from decipherable transliterated writing to a more stylized (and indiscernible) form.
In the process, an increasing amount of logographic components have been added with symbols that have been explained to represent words, ideas, or names.
The mechanics of the writing system (an abugida), as well as the Kryptonian language that it depicts (which was not spoken in the film), were created by Dr. Christine Schreyer, a linguistic anthropologist and assistant professor of anthropology working at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan.
In season 3, episodes 2, 6, 7 and 13 featured a few short lines of Kryptonian dialogue using words from the language created by Darren Doyle, citing the first time a constructed Kryptonian language (as opposed to gibberish) has been spoken in any official media.
According to one story, in which the Phantom Zone prisoner Quex-Ul had served his full sentence, 18 Kryptonian sun-cycles (amzeto) is about 25 Earth years.
This was untrue – the scientist Jor-El managed to send his newborn son, Kal-El, off-planet to Earth right before Krypton's demise.
Superman's cousin Supergirl also survived Krypton's destruction, as did Kristin Wells, who had been on the run in space at the time of the planet's destruction.
Kryptonian survivors of alternate worlds, such as Power Girl (Kara Zor-L) and the canine Krypto the Superdog, also reside on Earth.
Kryptonians General Zod and Ursa had been imprisoned within the Phantom Zone prior to Krypton's destruction and even went on to have a child, who would later be adopted as Christopher Kent.
Also, the inhabitants of the planet Daxam are descendants of Kryptonians who long ago ventured into space and settled on another planet.
However, Zod and his lieutenants only survived because they were at that time incarcerated within the Phantom Zone and were not in fact on Krypton at the time of its destruction.
With this method, Kryptonians are designated pre-determined roles in society at their conception – for example, Jor-El is a Scientist, whereas General Zod is a Warrior.
In ancient times, they were a race in the midst of an era of expansion, travelling to other worlds via scout ships in order to colonize them.
Kal-El is the first (and technically, last) naturally-born Kryptonian in centuries, as Jor-El and Lara believed that Krypton had lost the freedom of choice and wanted their son to choose to become who he wanted to be.
As in the comics, Kal-El's powers are depicted as being superior to other Kryptonians, due to his spending a far greater period of time exposed to Earth's yellow sun and atmosphere, though some have an advantage over him in terms of combat experience (e.g.
While the other Kryptonians receive great strength and speed from Earth's sun, they require solar-suits to regulate the radiation and avoid being stricken by pain.
In addition, it is shown that without some form of training, Kryptonians are left vulnerable to their own abilities, as the case with Zod when Superman destroyed his solar-visor and caused him to develop a sensory overload.
However, his father Jor-El's memories remains sentient in the mysterious Kawatche Caves and Fortress of Solitude an disembodied AI, and the disembodied spirit of Zod is similarly sentient albeit trapped in the Phantom Zone.
In Season Five, Clark discovers that the Disciples of Zod: Nam-Ek & Aethyr and a Kryptonian artificial intelligence: Brain-Interactive-Construct aka Brainiac arrive on Earth, serving Zod's trapped spirit.
In Season Six, Clark discovers his father's assistant Raya was spared by being placed in the Phantom Zone, with her body intact.
Season Seven introduces Kara Zor-El, having been sent to Earth at the same time of Clark but trapped in suspended animation since then; later, through schemes put into practice before his death, Clark's uncle Zor-El and mother Lara are resurrected with powers intact for a time.
Later, it is revealed that another Kryptonian, the scientist Dax-Ur, has been living on Earth for over a hundred years, using blue kryptonite to render himself powerless, and has even fathered a son with his human wife.
In Season 8, it is revealed that Zod's wife Faora, also a disembodied wraith, was sent into the Phantom Zone with her husband, but not before they genetically engineered their son, fusing genetic material taken from the most violent Kryptonian life-forms with their own.
The child was attached to Clark's ship in the form of a cocoon; on Earth it assumed a human form and became known as Davis Bloome, but would periodically assume its true form: the monster Doomsday.
In the season finale, Zod makes his first full bodied appearance on the series, along with a large number of other Kryptonians who are later revealed to be clones created as part of an old experiment.
Initially powerless due to their cells having been treated with blue kryptonite radiation, these clones later gain powers when Clark is forced to provide Zod with a sample of his blood to heal him after he is shot, Zod using this blood to empower his followers.
The clones are relocated to a new world that they designate 'New Krypton' at the conclusion of Season Nine, with Clark Kent remaining on Earth and Zod being sent to the Phantom Zone to merge with his original self when the clones learn that Zod killed his lover Faora for objecting to his plans.
One of Astra's operatives, Vartox, was ordered to sabotage the Department of Extra-Normal Operations by causing a plane crash that was thwarted by Supergirl (when she realized her sister Alex Danvers, a DEO member, was on board), and to alert Astra that Kara survived the explosion and now has come into discovering her powers.
Her mother Alura rescues her from Brainiac's drones and reveals she and Jor-El have both been working to create two ships, one for Kara and the other for her baby cousin Kal-El.
Kara and Kal-El escape Krypton as it is destroyed by Brainiac, though Kara's ship is damaged by the explosion knocking it off course and putting Kara into hyper sleep.
Wonder Woman and Black Adam hide the tyrannical nature of the Regime from Supergirl and train her to use her powers in secret, though Brainiac attacks Earth after being alerted to Kal-El's survival due to his Regime's supporting the Sinestro Corps.
Supergirl and the Regime try to break Superman out of prison, but are stopped by Batman and his allies, though Batman decides to release Superman, calling a temporary truce between the Regime and the Insurgency to combat Brainiac.
During Brainiac's attack on Metropolis, Supergirl witnesses Wonder Woman's brutal attack on their ally Harley Quinn after Harley tried to stop Wonder Woman from killing the Cheetah, as it violated Batman's no-killing policy.
Supergirl is horrified to learn her cousin approves of Wonder Woman's actions, though he believes it would be best to deal with Harley after Brainiac is dealt with.
Supergirl compares his methods to General Zod's and briefly fights Superman and his allies, though Brainiac's attack forces them to focus on dealing with him first.
Brainiac destroys Metropolis reminding Superman of his past failure, causing him to attack the ship with all his might, only to be seemingly killed by Brainiac.
Believing Kara is the last surviving Kryptonian, Brainiac offers to spare Earth if they hand over Kara Zor-El as he wishes to study the effects of yellow sun radiation on Kryptonian cells, though Batman refuses.
Batman and Supergirl manage to infiltrate the ship, but Supergirl is captured, though Batman discovers that Superman is still alive and the two join forces to defeat Brainiac and free Supergirl.
Despite Brainiac being responsible for Krypton's destruction, Supergirl sides with Batman and choose to spare Brainiac so he can help them restore the worlds and cities he has collected.
Supergirl tries to reason with her cousin by telling him of how his father opposed General Zod, only for Superman to reveal he agrees with Zod's methods, believing that if Jor-El had been more like Zod, then he would have been able to save Krypton.
In Superman's story mode ending, Batman is defeated, though Superman spares him due to not wanting him to become a martyr.
Superman reveals there is still a place for her and that he is creating an army using beings freed from Brainiac's collection.
Supergirl refuses to join him, though Superman reveals he has used Brainiac's technology to turn Batman into a brainwashed slave and threatens to do the same to Kara if she continues to resist.
Supergirl notes that while she could not save her cousin, it will not stop her from trying to bring people hope.
In Sub-Zero's ending, Superman joins forces with Kryptonian criminals General Zod, Ursa and Non after escaping the Phantom Zone through a portal accidentally created by the Batman's Justice League while trying to create a portal to Earthrealm.
The System Management Bus (abbreviated to SMBus or SMB) is a single-ended simple two-wire bus for the purpose of lightweight communication.
It is derived from I²C for communication with low-bandwidth devices on a motherboard, especially power related chips such as a laptop's rechargeable battery subsystem (see Smart Battery System).
A device can provide manufacturer information, indicate its model/part number, save its state for a suspend event, report different types of errors, accept control parameters and return status.
Its voltage levels and timings are more strictly defined than those of I²C, but devices belonging to the two systems are often successfully mixed on the same bus.
While SMBus is derived from I²C, there are several major differences between the specifications of the two busses in the areas of electricals, timing, protocols and operating modes.
SMBus 2.0 defines a ‘High Power’ class that includes a 4 mA sink current that cannot be driven by I²C chips unless the pull-up resistor is sized to I²C-bus levels.
The SMBus clock is defined from 10–100 kHz while I²C can be 0–100 kHz, 0–400 kHz, 0–1 MHz and 0–3.4 MHz, depending on the mode.
This means that an I²C bus running at less than 10 kHz will not be SMBus compliant since the SMBus devices may time out.
In I²C, a slave receiver is allowed to not acknowledge the slave address, if for example it's unable to receive because it's performing some real time task.
I²C specifies that a slave device, although it may acknowledge its own address, may decide, some time later in the transfer, that it cannot receive any more data bytes.
Other than to indicate a slave's device-busy condition, SMBus also uses the NACK mechanism to indicate the reception of an invalid command or datum.
Since such a condition may occur on the last byte of the transfer, it is required that SMBus devices have the ability to generate the not acknowledge after the transfer of each byte and before the completion of the transaction.
This difference in the use of the NACK signaling has implications on the specific implementation of the SMBus port, especially in devices that handle critical system data such as the SMBus host and the SBS components.
I²C devices that do not adhere to these protocols cannot be accessed by standard methods as defined in the SMBus and Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specifications.
In both those protocols there is a very useful distinction made between a System Host and all the other devices in the system that can have the names and functions of masters or slaves.
I²C can be a ‘DC’ bus, meaning that a slave device stretches the master clock when performing some routine while the master is accessing it.
There is no limit in the I²C-bus protocol as to how long this delay can be, whereas for an SMBus system, it would be limited to 35 ms.
The SMBus protocol just assumes that if something takes too long, then it means that there is a problem on the bus and that all devices must reset in order to clear this mode.
The SMBus has an extra optional shared interrupt signal called SMBALERT#, which can be used by slaves to tell the host to ask its slaves about events of interest.
Huskies are also today kept as pets, and groups work to find new pet homes for retired racing and adventure trekking dogs.
However, several Arctic breeds also show a genetic closeness with the now-extinct Taimyr wolf of North Asia due to admixture: the Siberian Husky and Greenland dog (which are also historically associated with Arctic human populations) and to a lesser extent, the Shar Pei and Finnish spitz.
An admixture graph of the Greenland dog indicates a best-fit of 3.5% shared material; however, an ancestry proportion ranging between 1.4% and 27.3% is consistent with the data and indicates admixture between the Taimyr wolf and the ancestors of these four high-latitude breeds.
This introgression could have provided early dogs living in high latitudes with phenotypic variation beneficial for adaption to a new and challenging environment, contributing significantly to the development of the husky.
Examples of these landraces in modern times have been selectively bred and registered with various kennel clubs as modern purebred breeds, including the Siberian Husky and the Labrador Husky.
The Mackenzie River husky is a subtype referring to different dog populations in the subarctic regions of the American state of Alaska and Canada.
Since many owners now have husky dogs as pets in settings that are not ideal for sledding, other activities have been found that are good for the dog and fun for the owner.
It was the tenth hurricane of the season, now referred to as The Texas-Louisiana Hurricane of 1886, that all but wiped out Sabine Pass and Johnson Bayou in Cameron Parish.
Hurricane Rita made landfall on September 24, 2005 and on September 12–13, 2008, Hurricane Ike struck Sabine Pass and Galveston, generating the highest surge of 22 feet (6.7 meters) which is, according to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88), the highest ever recorded at Sabine Pass.
Sabine Pass is a site for an LNG receiving terminal because it is located along one of a few deepwater ports along the Gulf Coast suitable for importing LNG.
Savage is immortal, and he has plagued the earth with crime and violence since before the beginning of recorded human history.
An observer from the Bear Tribe would later approach that same meteorite and become Savage's eternal nemesis, the Immortal Man, possessing the power to resurrect as a new person every time he is killed.
Though the Calculator took this to be a joke, Luthor was apparently serious, and Savage has not shown much regard for human life.
Savage's first mark in the history came when he and a select group of people successfully undermined and destroyed the lost city of Atlantis.
He has also worked as close friends and advisers to the likes of Erik the Red, William the Conqueror (whom he advised to invade England under the name Sir Von Savage), Napoleon Bonaparte (whom he served as Marshal Savage), Otto von Bismarck (whom he helped to invade France as Baron Von Savage), and Adolf Hitler.
He also led the Spanish Armada in its attempted invasion of England (suggesting he may have been Alonso Pérez de Guzmán).
He attempted to capture the members of the Justice Society out of revenge and place them in suspended animation using technology developed by the Injustice Society of the World member Brainwave, but was thwarted by the Golden and Silver Age Flashes (Jay Garrick and Barry Allen), Barry travelling to Earth-2 after mysterious blackouts happened in cities where JSA members lived.
He used a weapon to make them fight each other, captured Jay after the younger Barry beat him, and tried to capture Barry, trying to use an illusion to trap Barry in a suspended animation container.
He was also one of the founding members of the Injustice Society, who were each assigned to capture or kill a JSA member and engineer five jailbreaks to each attack a location in an attempt to conquer the United States.
While leading an army of prison escapees from Gartmoor prison whom he had incited to riot by dropping leaflets about the ISW from a plane, he attacked an airport where Federal planes were about to land, and captured Hawkman, before Green Lantern impersonated the Thinker during the 'trial' of the JSA and freed the JSA, who jailed the villains.
Knowing his developed hatred for the Justice Society, the re-installation of a new team consisting superheroes within the modern time known as the Justice League, quickly gained Savage's attention to where he did not hesitate on forming a group of villains to make an attack on this new team so that they would not pose any threat towards Savage's future goals.
Yet, none would gain any more hatred from Savage than the supposed new Immortal Man, which was the mysterious Resurrection Man.
After his recent fallout with the Justice League, Vandal Savage decided to take care of each member individually, starting with the newest Flash (Wally West).
A private investigator by the name of Harold Halston from Thermopolis, Wyoming had been investigating one Varney Sack at the request of a local realtor.
Sack turned out to be Savage, and the immortal man killed Halston once he figured the private eye knew too much.
Savage surfaced again later, this time selling Velocity 9, a highly addictive super-speed drug of his own creation, which interfered with much of the existing drug trade in New York.
He put an ad in the paper that attracted successful yuppies, whom he used to do his bidding by giving them Velocity 9 so they could perform high speed crimes.
Savage wished to use the heroin distribution network of mob boss Nick Bassaglia to distribute Velocity 9 to lawyers and stockbrokers, hoping to gain financial control of New York.
Hoping that a second dose would make him another one of his junkies, Savage told Dr. Conrad Bortz to inject the Flash, who instead injected Savage, who ran away.
This money he attempted to acquire by kidnapping Rosie, the daughter of Wally's landlord, Mr. Gilchrist, with a ransom of five million dollars.
He set many traps for the Flash, who was looking for Rosie, that led him to Barry Allen's grave, where Rosie was being kept.
Having lived so long, Savage has butted heads with possibly every single hero featured in the DC Universe, most notably the Justice Society of America and the Justice League of America.
Original Green Lantern Alan Scott (in comics, his very first opponent) has been portrayed as one of Savage's main enemies, as well as the original Flash, Jay Garrick.
At this point, the time-traveling hero Chronos is heard in the background, gloating about having conned Savage in retaliation for a previous adventure when Savage had him stranded in time.
This time he had his eyes set on the Titans, a team he had nearly defeated before they ruined his plans for a nuclear assault.
To do this, Savage kidnapped the Titans member known as Omen and forced her to recruit the perfect team for him using her mental powers.
The Red Panzer died in the fight, but Savage and his remaining team managed to escape by shooting Cheshire and using her as a distraction, leaving her to be captured by the Titans.
After learning the location of Omen, the Titans found her and engaged in another fight with Tartarus that quickly ended after the Siren switched sides.
Originally, Savage was a member of Lex Luthor's Society, but he quit the Society and told Lex not to contact him for any reason after Luthor blew him off to welcome some less than competent new recruits.
It is also plausible that Vandal quit because his daughter Scandal Savage was working against the Society as part of the Secret Six.
When the Society lodged a final ambush against the Six, Savage threatened to kill Luthor if he did not call off the attack, saying that he could not allow anyone to harm his daughter.
He attempted to use a device to pull an asteroid into Earth, but was thrown into space with the asteroid itself when the Flash reversed the polarity of the device.
Eventually, the asteroid fell back on Earth with Savage, who found his power greatly diminished and having lived through what he called the worst year of his life.
His immortality completely drained, he is still able to survive otherwise fatal wounds, but a brain tumor and a strong decay of his biological function are leading him to a fast death, with an estimated life span of 11 days.
Savage tries to capture Alan Scott by baiting him with a grotesque (and disguised) Wesley Dodds clone, who, in fact, is his own clone.
Realizing that his clone could be considered his own offspring, and that the blood of his descendants has always renewed his strength, Savage cooks and eats his clone, renewing his energies at least for another year.
In issue #4, after a battle with Wildcat and his newly discovered son, who is revealed to have the ability to turn into a cat-like creature, at which Savage is surprised (which he claims to have not been in 116 years), Savage is defeated when hit by a fire truck.
He later reappears in Atlantis where he is revealed to have been behind the atrocities in Sub Diego and Black Manta's occupation of the city.
He has placated some of the more willful of the females (like Phobia and the Cheetah) by promising each of them that they will be his queen when he rules the planet.
Ultimately, Savage escapes back to Earth, along with the rest of the imprisoned villains, following an attack by Parademons sent by DeSaad (who used the planet as a training ground).
As he says to Lex Luthor, Vandal is willing to follow Libra in exchange for his heart's desire, an end to his boredom.
Thus Cain is reborn in him, and agrees to lead the Followers into punishing the Spectre for branding him because of his ancient crime.
The Spectre, forbidden by God to kill Cain, instead sentences him to walk the Earth, unable to disguise himself, being forever reviled and persecuted by the rest of the human race and denied rest until God says otherwise (the Mark of Cain).
The superhero team known as the Outsiders come into conflict with a mysterious group calling themselves the Insiders, who are tracking down the fragments of the meteorite that granted Savage his immortality.
It is ultimately revealed that the Insiders were members of Savage's tribe who were also exposed to the meteorite and gained immortality.
Savage (still possessing the Mark of Cain) forms a temporary alliance with fellow immortal and cult leader (as well as at times Mass Murderer) Ra's al Ghul to thwart the group's plan.
The mark he still bears hampers his ability to do his business and thus he attempts to pass it off - to either the Question or the Huntress.
He succeeds, imparting the mark to the Question, who accepts to be branded to spare the Huntress from the disfigurement and the pain (despite the fact that The Question later proves how the brand could be suppressed by acknowledging the flaws, the shortcomings and the guilt of the bearer, a feat made seemingly impossible by Vandal Savage's mindset).
Savage holds Wayne hostage until a younger member of the tribe frees him and aids in his subsequent fight against Savage's mob.
Vandal, in an opium fueled delusion (which he took to control the pain from his cancer), sees Batman as an actual bat, compared to the girl and Alan Wayne (who had been on the way to kill himself when the carriage had careened into the river) whom he sees as skeletons, and remembers that night thousands of years ago when a bat-man had appeared.
This story taking place in the Middle Ages, Savage is, at this point, traveling the world content to simply enjoy life, living for wine, women, and war.
He is a master tactician and incredibly strong, and uses his many skills that he has picked up over his long lifetime to aid his teammates.
However, Vandal Savage gets up and demands that Pandora give him the box, or else he will continue to try to find a way to kill her.
Vandal Savage takes the box and fails to open it, with Pandora noting that he must have some good on his conscience.
A recent storyline where Superman loses his powers is revealed to be part of a complex plan by Vandal Savage to undermine the world's heroes before abducting several members of the Justice League, using them to power a machine that will draw in the asteroid that gave him his immortality while triggering that power in various modern descendants of his.
Although Superman is able to regain his powers by subjecting himself to a dangerous form of 'chemotherapy', where he deliberately exposes himself to kryptonite to burn away what radiation was preventing his cells from absorbing sunlight, analysis reveals that Superman is now absorbing power from kryptonite that will soon kill him.
Despite this, Superman refuses to give in, as various minor heroes assist him in confronting Savage's descendants before he takes Metallo's kryptonite heart (willingly donated) and charges into Savage's base.
Although Savage is able to use the asteroid and the drained Justice League to charge his children's powers, when Savage shoots Superman with a toxic bullet, the toxins burn away the last of the radiation contaminating Superman's cells, allowing him to literally fall into the Fortress of Solitude- 'stolen' by Vandal as part of his plans- and regain the last of his powers.
His plans are thwarted by Lex Luthor, who arrives with his new Legion of Doom to mock Savage for knowing the truth about Perpetua but never trying to use her power.
Savage tries to convince Lex not to pursue his course, but Lex beats him to death with a doorknob made from a piece of the Totality, the oldest energy source in existence.
Since exposure to an unusual radiation generated by a crashed meteor, Savage has been functionally and biologically immortal, remaining unaged for over fifty thousand years.
He was also endowed with meta-human regenerative capacities, although this ability is intermittently portrayed between allowing him to recover from any injuries sustained to just allowing him to survive anything that might kill him; he is even capable of getting drunk like any normal human.
His long life span has allowed him to gain a broad range of knowledge in a variety of fields, as well as granting him a great deal of influence over the world in general and the villain community in particular.
Since a recent experience when he was trapped on an asteroid, Savage's immortality has been weakened, forcing him to cannibalize his own children and clones as a way of replenishing his energy.
As a result, while the cancerous cells in his body naturally cannot kill him, they cause him intermittent pain throughout his life, Savage being unable to have them removed as they are considered to be as much a part of his body as his healthy tissue.
Vandal Savage is stated to be Cain, the first murderer, and as such he may be as old as the entire human race.
Though the mark can be suppressed by willpower and by the recognition of one's shortcomings and flaws, Vandal Savage never realized it, instead trying to force the mark on other people.
In the DCnU story line it was revealed the irradiated meteor which gave Savage his immortality and augmented physicality was Kryptonian in origin.
A fragment of the asteroid was what gave Savage his bolstered physique and immortality, also having the effect of bestowing on the progeny of his family line with odd powers and abilities included.
The closer Savage's asteroid came to the planet, the more these powers would intensify, to the point that Savage was able to injure a weakened Superman.
The extent of all these new abilities bestowed to him was not fully explored, as the comet was forced away before it could be explored in greater depth.
In this story, Savage is obsessed with recovering the meteor that gave him his immortality, believing that it will reveal why he became what he has.
At the conclusion of this last battle, Vandal is left drifting through space on the meteor, determined to learn the purpose of his life.
Savage, like Luthor, assists with victims of the nuclear fallout – in the additional epilogue, Batman praises Savage for his extensive healing experience.
Savage/Flint had captured Q during a visit to the distant past and used his power to accelerate Earth's development and create an empire.
Vandar attempts to torture them with the goal of learning about the 'mistakes' in their histories so that he can 'correct' them in his timeline, but Kirk mockingly informs Vandar that his actions prove that he is nothing more than the caveman he was at the start, incapable of considering the idea that progress might be possible in any way other than beating his opponent to death.
The alternate timeline is undone when Spock and Brainiac 5 release Q in the past; Q's escape undoes Vandar's changes and splits Vandal and Flint back into separate entities, Flint being a Vandal Savage who turned his life towards art and science rather than conquest.
He tries to use technology stolen from J'onn J'onzz to kill humanity (he wants to commit suicide in the grandest manner possible), but is killed by Barry Allen, who sacrifices his life to stop the alien device.
With a crew that includes versions of Lady Shiva and Blockbuster, he invades Earth-20, another pulp-inspired world with a cadre of heroes led by Doc Fate.
Within the New 52 he has another daughter named Kassandra Sage, an FBI agent who reluctantly consults her imprisoned father on a case.
Allium tuberosum (garlic chives, Oriental garlic, Asian chives, Chinese chives, Chinese leek) is a species of onion native to southwestern parts of the Chinese province of Shanxi, and cultivated and naturalized elsewhere in Asia and around the world.
In cold areas (USDA zones 7 to 4b), leaves and stalks completely die back to the ground, and resprout from roots or rhizomes in the spring.
However, it is believed to be more widespread in North America because of the availability of seeds and seedlings of this species as an exotic herb and because of its high aggressiveness.
Garlic chives are regarded as easy to grow in many conditions and may spread readily by seeds or can be intentionally propagated by dividing their clumps.
Uses have included as ornamental plants, including cut and dried flowers, culinary herbs, and Garlic chives have been widely cultivated for centuries in East Asia for their culinary value.
In Kazakhstan, where the plant has been introduced through cultivation by Dungan farmers and ties with neighboring China, garlic chives are known by a transliteration of their Mandarin Chinese name, (джуцей).
It lies at Sabine Pass, on the west bank of the Sabine River, the border between Louisiana and Texas, and was incorporated in 1861.
Formally annexed by Port Arthur in 1978, Sabine Pass has its own school district, post office, water district, and port authority.
Sabine Pass was the site of two naval battles, the First Battle of Sabine Pass, and the Second Battle of Sabine Pass, as well as land skirmishes that occurred around the historic Sabine Pass Lighthouse during the Civil War.
In 1832, Thomas Corts (of England) and John McGaffey (of New Hampshire) were among the first settlers of the Sabine Pass area.
Stephen Hendrickson Everitt (1806–1844) wrote a letter to Republic of Texas President Mirabeau B. Lamar on March 11, 1839, seeking to establish a post office in the area.
There was already a Republic of Texas custom's house, established in 1837, as well as a United States customs house at Garrison Ridge, and the nearest post office was 40 miles away.
There is some confusion as to if this was Sabine Pass that he had previously written about or an intended city to the south.
The US claimed jurisdiction down the Sabine River to the Gulf of Mexico and Texas claimed it ended at the Sabine River delta.
By 1838 the U.S. assigned the revenue cutter USRC Woodbury (1837) to patrol the Sabine Lake as part of the Gulf of Mexico patrol.
The customs house had two cannons and when the schooners attempted to run the customs port the agent fired a warning shot across the bow of each ship and then six more as an attempt to sink them.
Arthur Stilwell had original plans for the southern terminus of the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railroad Company to be Sabine Pass.
But the Kountze brothers, who owned the land Stilwell needed for the railroad, refused to make a deal so Port Arthur was born.
During the American Civil War, Fort Manhassett, Fort Sabine, and Fort Griffin (not to be confused with the later frontier fort) were built by the Confederacy to protect the waterway of Sabine Pass, the Sabine River, and the Neches River under General J.
Two battles, the First Battle of Sabine Pass, and the Second Battle of Sabine Pass, both occurred around the Sabine Lake estuary, in Sabine Pass, between the southern end of the current community of Sabine Pass, Texas and the Sabine Pass Lighthouse on the Louisiana side.
In 1970, road machinery used in its construction accidentally dug up several cannonballs and crumbling kegs of black powder about 10 miles west of Sabine Pass.
Fort Manhassett was a series of earthworks constructed by the Confederacy in 1863 to defend the western approaches to Sabine Pass.
Because of the short distance separating Sabine Pass from the Gulf of Mexico, the city has suffered greatly from numerous hurricanes since its founding.
After hurricanes in 1886, 1900, 1915, and the devastating Hurricane Audrey in 1957, economic development moved north from Sabine Pass to the cities of Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange, which still dominate the area's economy today.
On September 24, 2005, Hurricane Rita came ashore over Sabine Lake—the surge from the storm destroyed more than 90% of the structures in Sabine Pass.
Adam Saunders, a spokesperson for the City of Port Arthur, said that of the 225 houses in Sabine pass, 20% of them were livable after Rita hit Sabine Pass.
225 families lived in Sabine Pass pre-Ike, and in January 2009 Steve Fitzgibbons, the city manager of the City of Port Arthur, estimated that at that time, half of the families had returned to Sabine Pass post-Ike.
The new station, built 12 feet above sea level and able to withstand 150 mile-per-hour winds, was dedicated in August 2013.
While Port Arthur annexed Sabine Pass in 1978, the census of the two began to be enumerated together since the 1990s.
While Sabine Pass has a separate school district, post office, water district, and port authority, it is incorporated into the city of Port Arthur.
Although to a lesser level than Hiram Lodge and Mr. Weatherbee, he is sometimes the victim of Archie's ever-present accidents (in particular when Archie blows up the school's chemistry lab).
The sunspot effect wears off right as Moose predicts sunny weather for the next day's meteorological picnic, so Flutesnoot makes a fool out of himself when a thunderstorm comes instead.
Another time, Flutesnoot's satellite dish picks up a signal he believes to be of extraterrestrial origin, but he later discovers that the sound is from an audio tape running backwards.
However, at the end of the story, there is, in fact, a rock band of aliens singing exactly the same words.
Skinny and aging, Professor Flutesnoot sports an extremely prominent nose (hence his name) and tufts of curly white hair at his temples (but is otherwise bald).
The lake has an area of 185,000 acres (749 km²), the largest man-made body of water in (or partially in) Louisiana, the largest in the South, and the fifth largest (surface acre) in the United States.
The dam itself is located in the northeast corner of Newton County, Texas; however, that county includes very little of the reservoir, as most of it extends northward into parts of Sabine and DeSoto parishes in Louisiana, and Sabine, Shelby, and Panola counties in Texas.
With both authorities in agreement, in 1955 a feasibility report was initiated and by 1959, the two states allocated 30 million dollars for the project.
Louisiana Director of Public Works Claude Kirkpatrick, who was also president of the Sabine River Authority of Louisiana at the time, pushed for the joint agreement with Texas, in the absence of federal funds, to make the project a reality.
The Toledo Bend legislative bill was successfully pushed, despite numerous obstacles, by freshman Representative Cliff Ammons of Many, the seat of Sabine Parish.
Beginning in May 1963, land acquisitions for Toledo Bend Reservoir started as a joint management project of Texas and Louisiana River Authorities.
From the dam site, which is north of Burkeville, TX, the reservoir extends up the river for about to Logansport, LA, and inundates land in Sabine, Shelby, Panola, and Newton Counties, Texas, and Sabine and DeSoto Parishes, Louisiana.
Toledo Bend is the nation's only public water conservation and hydroelectric power project to be undertaken without federal participation in its permanent financing.
Toledo Bend, with its of shoreline, offers an almost unlimited opportunity for recreational development and is a major element in serving the growing demand for water oriented outdoor recreation.
At present, the lake is best suited to shallow draft power boats due to a large number of trees and stumps that are still in the body of the lake.
Although there are numerous well marked boat lanes that have been cleared of stumps and trees, one should use caution even on the boat lanes; one should use extreme caution when off the boat lanes and maintain a watch for stumps and/or trees as well as floating logs.
Engaged in the Indochina War and being the second NATO contributor, France canceled the adoption of these new weapons for financial reasons.
Not willing to accept a cartridge outside of the NATO specification, the Germans asked CETME to develop a 7.62×51mm version of the rifle.
The resulting CETME Model A was chambered for the 7.62×51mm CETME cartridge which was identical in chamber dimensions but had a reduced-power load compared to the 7.62×51mm NATO round.
Further development of the rifle with input from H&K produced the CETME Model B which received several modifications, including the ability to fire from a closed bolt in both semi-automatic and automatic firing modes, a new perforated sheet metal handguard (the folding bipod had been the foregrip in previous models), improved ergonomics and a slightly longer barrel with a 22 mm rifle grenade launcher guide.
In 1958, this rifle was accepted into service with the Spanish Army as the Modelo 58, using the 7.62×51mm CETME round.
The West German government wanted the G3 rifle to be produced under license in Germany; purchase of the G1 had previously fallen through over FN's refusal to grant such a license.
In the case of the G3, the Dutch firm Nederlandse Wapen en Munitiefabriek (NWM) held production and sales rights to the CETME design outside of Spain.
The latter company already had ties to CETME, and had worked to further optimize the CETME rifle for use with the full-power 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge (as opposed to the downgraded CETME variant).
In 1969, Rheinmetall gave up production rights to the G3 in exchange for H&K's promise not to bid on MG 3 production.
Initial production G3 rifles differed substantially from more recent models; early rifles featured closed-type mechanical flip-up sights (with two apertures), a lightweight folding bipod, a stamped sheet steel handguard, a wooden buttstock (in fixed stock models) or a telescopic metal stock.
The weapon was modernized during its service life (among other minor modifications it received new sights, a different flash suppressor, and a synthetic handguard and shoulder stock), resulting in the most recent production models, the G3A3 (with a fixed polymer stock) and the G3A4 (telescoping metal stock).
Known manufacturers of the weapon included Bangladesh(BOF), France (MAS), Greece (Hellenic Arms Industry), Iran (Defense Industries Organization), Luxembourg (Luxemburg Defense Technologie), Mexico, Myanmar, Norway (Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk), Pakistan (Pakistan Ordnance Factories), Portugal (FBP), Saudi Arabia (Military Industries Corporation (Saudi Arabia)), Sweden (Husqvarna Vapenfabrik AB and FFV Carl-Gustaf in Eskilstuna), Thailand, Turkey (MKEK) and the United Kingdom (Royal Ordnance).
The breech is opened when both rollers are compressed inward against camming surfaces driven by the rearward pressure of the expanding gases upon the bolt head.
As the rollers move inward, recoil energy is transferred to the locking piece and bolt carrier which begin to withdraw while the bolt head slowly moves rearward in relation to the bolt carrier.
As the bolt carrier clears the rollers, pressure in the bore drops to a safe level, the bolt head is caught by the bolt carrier and moves to the rear as one unit, continuing the operating cycle.
The lever essentially ratchets into place with friction, providing enough resistance to being re-opened that the bolt carrier does not rebound.
The spring-powered claw extractor is also contained inside the bolt while the lever ejector is located inside the trigger housing (actuated by the recoiling bolt).
An interchangeable set-trigger pack assembly featuring a trigger stop and less trigger pull is available for the G3SG/1 and other sniping orientated variants.
The firearm is equipped with a relatively low iron sight line that consist of a rotary rear drum and hooded front post.
The rotary drum features an open V-notch (numbered 1) for rapid target acquisition, close range, low light and impaired visibility use and three apertures (numbered 2, 3 and 4) used for: in increments for more precise aiming.
The receiver housing has recesses that work with STANAG claw mounts/HK clamp adapters used to mount day or night aiming optics.
The rifled barrel (contains 4 right-hand grooves with a 305 mm twist rate) terminates with a slotted flash suppressor which can also be used to attach a bayonet or serve as an adapter for launching rifle grenades.
The barrel chamber is fluted, which assists in the initial extraction of a spent cartridge casing (since the breech is opened under very high barrel in internal cartridge case pressure).
The G3A3 (A4) uses either steel (260 g) or aluminium (140 g) 20-round double-stacked straight box magazines, or a 50-round drum magazine.
H&K developed a prototype plastic disposable magazine in the early 1960s, but it was not adopted as aluminum magazines were just as light and proved more durable, as well as easier to produce.
Standard accessories supplied with the rifle include: a detachable bipod (not included with rifles that have a perforated plastic handguard), sling, cleaning kit and a speed-loading device.
Several types of bayonet are available for the G3, but with few exceptions they require an adapter to be inserted into the end of the cocking tube.
The most common type features a 6 inch spear-point blade nearly identical with the M7 bayonet, but with a different grip because of its mounting above the barrel.
The G3 rifle is or was produced under license in the following countries: Brazil, France, Mexico, Turkey, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Greece, Pakistan, Myanmar and Iran.
As early as the 6th century, there had begun a major importation of spiritual and cultural ideas into Japan from China.
To these initial doctrines and beliefs were later added teachings concerning the powers of mysticism, magic and healing that had gradually begun to reach Japan with the arrival of itinerant monks, priests, hermits and shamanic practitioners, forced to flee from China after the fall of the Tang dynasty.
The park's include more than 10,000 lakes, 30,000 miles of rivers and streams, and a wide variety of habitats including wetlands and old-growth forests.
As Romanticism developed in the United States, the view of wilderness became more positive, as seen in the writings of James Fenimore Cooper, Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson.
William Henry Harrison Murray's 1869 wilderness guidebook depicted the area as a place of relaxation and pleasure rather than a natural obstacle.
Financier and railroad promoter Thomas Clark Durant acquired a large tract of central Adirondack land and built a railroad from Saratoga Springs to North Creek.
Following the Civil War, Reconstruction Era economic expansion led to an increase in logging and deforestation, especially in the southern Adirondacks.
in 1870 Verplanck Colvin made the first recorded ascent of Seward Mountain during which he saw the extensive damage done by lumbermen.
He wrote a report which was read at the Albany Institute and printed by the New York State Museum of Natural History.
In 1872 he was named to the newly created post of Superintendent of the Adirondack Survey and given a $1000 budget by the state legislature to institute a survey of the Adirondacks.
In 1873 he wrote a report arguing that if the Adirondack watershed was allowed to deteriorate, it would threaten the viability of the Erie Canal, which was then vital to New York's economy.
and in 1885, New York State Legislature designated particular counties in the state as places where Forest Preserve could be acquired in the future.
The lands of the state, now owned or hereafter acquired, constituting the forest preserve as now fixed by law, shall be forever kept as wild forest lands.
They shall not be leased, sold or exchanged, or be taken by any corporation, public or private, nor shall the timber thereon be sold, removed or destroyed.
In 1902, the legislature passed a bill defining the Adirondack Park for the first time in terms of the counties and towns within it.
In 1912 the legislature further clarified that the park included the privately owned lands within as well as the public holdings.
The restrictions on development and lumbering embodied in Article XIV have withstood many challenges from timber interests, hydropower projects, and large-scale tourism development interests.
Further, the language of the article, and decades of legal experience in its defense, are widely recognized as having laid the foundation for the U.S. National Wilderness Act of 1964.
As a result of the legal protections, many pieces of the original forest of the Adirondacks have never been logged and are old-growth forest.
The State Conservation Department (now the DEC) responded by building more facilities: boat docks, tent platforms, lean-tos, and telephone and electrical lines.
This growing crisis led to the 1971 creation of the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) to develop long-range land-use plans for both the public and private lands within the Blue Line.
The plan is designed to channel much of the future growth in the Park around existing communities, where roads, utilities, services, and supplies already exist.
In 2008 The Nature Conservancy purchased Follensby Pond – about of private land inside the park boundary – for $16 million.
The group plans to sell the land to the state which will add it to the forest preserve once the remaining leases for recreational hunting and fishing on the property expire.
This system of management is distinctly different from New York's state park system, which is managed by the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
Private organizations are buying land in order to sell it back to New York State to be added to the public portion of Park.
Other species, such as the moose, the wolf, and the cougar were hunted either for their meat, for sport, or because they were seen as a threat to livestock.
Reintroduction efforts for beaver began around 1904 by combining the remaining beaver in the Adirondacks with those of Canada and later on those from Yellowstone.
The population quickly grew to around 2000 roughly ten years and around 20,000 in 1921 with the addition of beaver in different areas of the Park.
Although this reintroduction was marked as a success, the elevated beaver population was found to have negative economic impacts on waterways and timber sources.
The trend of man attempting to manage nature would continue with the introduction of elk to the Adirondacks, a species that is unclear to have ever previously occupied the region.
After two previously failed attempts to introduce elk, in 1903 over 150 elks were reported by the State of New York Forest, Fish, and Game Commission to have been released and surviving in the park.
To protect and maintain the elk population in the future, the DeBar Mountain Game Refuge was established within the Forest Preserve.
This effort to control nature was also observed in the actions of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), work crews who established access roads and water supply expansion.
This proved to have unanticipated ecological consequences, most notably the overpopulation of deer which was reported by the New York State Conservation Department in 1945.
Animals in various stages of reintroduction include the raccoon, moose, black bear, coyote, opossum, beaver, porcupine, fisher, marten, river otter, bobcat, and Canadian lynx.
Birds that inhabit this park include the red-tailed hawk, broad-winged hawk, rough-legged hawk, swainson's hawk, Peregrine falcon, osprey, great horned owl, barred owl, screech owl, turkey vulture and raven.
There are numerous accommodations, including cabins, hunting lodges, villas and hotels, in and around Lake Placid, Lake George, Saranac Lake, Old Forge, Schroon Lake and the St. Regis Lakes.
Although the climate during the winter months can be severe, with temperatures falling below , a number of sanatoriums were located there in the early twentieth century because of the positive effect the air had on tuberculosis patients.
Because of these regulations, the large tourist population has not overfished the area, and as such, the brooks, rivers, ponds and lakes are home to large trout and black bass populations.
The Adirondack Park Agency visitor interpretive centers are designed to help orient visitors to the park via educational programs, exhibits, and interpretive trails.
The Wild Center in Tupper Lake offers extensive exhibits about the natural history of the region including a 1,000 foot long series of elevated bridges that rise up over the forest on the Center's campus.
The Six Nation Indian Museum in Franklin has as a mission to provide education about Iroquois (also known as Haudenosaunee) culture, particularly environmental ethics, and to reinforce traditional values and philosophies.
The 46 highest mountains in the Adirondack High Peaks were thought to be over when climbed by brothers Robert and George Marshall between 1918 and 1924.
Surveys have since shown that four of these peaks — Blake Peak, Cliff Mountain, Nye Mountain and Couchsachraga Peak — are in fact just slightly under .
Some hikers try to climb all of the original 46 peaks and there is a Forty Sixers club for those who have done so.
The surface of many of the lakes lies at an elevation above ; their shores are usually rocky and irregular, and the wild scenery within their vicinity has made them very attractive to tourists.
Raft trips are possible on the Hudson River near North River from April to October due to dam releases provided by the Town of Indian Lake.
Rail operators included Chateauguay Railroad, the Adirondack Railway, the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, Lake Champlain Transportation Company, the New York Central Railroad, Northern Adirondack Railroad Company, Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain Railroad, New York and Ottawa Railway, Mohawk and Malone Railway and Fulton Chain Railway.
However, through the 1950s and to 1961, daily there was a day train and a night train in each direction to Lake Placid station.
The Penn Central Transportation Company, successor to the New York Central, continued freight service between New York City and Lake Placid until 1972.
There are many small airstrips and lakes for seaplanes to land but there is only one true airport within the park that sees commercial airline service that is available to the general public.
The airport currently (2019) receives year-round service to Boston Logan Airport 3x daily in the winter and up to 5x daily in the summer with Northeast based commuter airline Cape Air.
Another option for Adirondack Park tourists while not located in the park, Plattsburgh is located just 10 miles outside the park and offers nonstop flights to Florida with Allegiant and Spirit Airlines, and Washington D.C. via Washington Dulles airport with United Airlines regional partner Skywest.
These camps for the wealthy were built to provide a primitive, rustic appearance while avoiding the problems of in-shipping materials from elsewhere.
In 1909, the first Adirondack fire lookout tower, made of logs, was erected on Mount Morris and many others were built over the next several years.
Some in the Adirondack Forest Preserve have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including those on the following mountains: Arab, Azure, Blue, Hadley, Kane, Loon Lake, Poke-O-Moonshine, St. Regis, Snowy, and Wakely.
McIntyre Furnace & McNaughton Cottage: an 1853 blast furnace, the 1832 McNaughton Cottage, the remains of the Tahawus Club era buildings, and the early mining-related sites.
St. Regis Presbyterian church: designed by prolific Saranac Lake architect William L. Coulter and built on land donated by Paul Smith.
The Bow Bridge: The Bow Bridge in Hadley is one of only two parabolic or lenticular truss bridges in the region and one of only about 50 remaining in the country.
Saranac Village at Will Rogers: a Tudor Revival style retirement community, was constructed in 1930 as a tuberculosis treatment facility for vaudeville performers.
After sitting unused for twenty years, it was bought in 1998 by the Alpine Adirondack Association, LLC and reopened in January 2000 as a retirement community.
Camp Santanoni was once a private estate of approximately 13,000 acres (53 km²), and now is the property of the state, at Newcomb.
It is a long, -story, building with several projecting bays, porches, gables and dormers, a porte cochere and a service wing.
Also on the property are a power house, fire house, gazebo, root cellar, reservoir, ruins of the caretaker's house and carriage house, and the remains of the landscaped grounds.
Theme Park is a construction and management simulation video game developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts in 1994.
Starting with a free plot of land in the United Kingdom and few hundred thousand pounds, the player must build a profitable amusement park.
Shops available include those selling foodstuff (such as ice creams) or soft drinks, and games such as coconut shies and arcades.
Over thirty attractions, ranging in complexity from the bouncy castle and tree house to more complicated and expensive rides such as the roller coaster and Ferris wheel are available.
If visitors become unhappy, thugs may come to vandalise the park by committing offences such as popping balloons, stealing food, and beating up entertainers.
Occasionally, wages and the price of goods must be negotiated; failure to reach an agreement results in staff strikes or loss of shipment.
Game time is implemented like a calendar: at the end of each year, the player is judged on that year's performance against rivals.
Cash awards may be earned for doing well, and trophies may be awarded for achievements such as having the longest roller coaster.
The goal is to increase the park's value and available money so that it can be sold and a new lot purchased from another part of the world to start a new theme park.
Once enough money has been made, the player can auction the park and move on to newer plots, located worldwide and having different factors affecting gameplay, including the economy, weather, terrain and land value.
The three difficulty settings enable players to choose the desired depth: simply having fun creating a theme park, or making all the business decisions too.
The story was originally to have the player play the role of a nephew who had inherited a fortune from his aunt, to be spent only on the world's largest and most profitable theme park.
There was to be a feature where a microphone is placed on a visitor and so the player could hear what they were saying, and multiplayer support was dropped two weeks prior to release because of a deadline.
The game was mostly complete by January 1994 and scheduled for release on 28 March, but this was pushed back to June, and then August.
Bullfrog developed the Mega Drive port, which was mostly complete by April 1995, and the Sega Saturn port, released in October 1995.
The Jaguar version was noted by critics as having problems such as slowdown and lack of a save option, although some liked the graphics and gameplay.
The visuals were likewise commended by Jeuxvideo.com on the PC and Macintosh versions, and the British humour was complimented as well.
In their review of the Macintosh version of the game, they believed that players would think of it when they visit Disneyland.
It was released in Japan on 15 March 2007 with releases in the US and Europe on 20 March 2007 and 23 March 2007.
New features of the game are the user interface, which was designed to fit the stylus functionality of the DS platform, and bonus rides/shops exclusive to certain properties, such as a Tea Room themed on an AEC Routemaster bus for England, Japanese dojo-style bouncy castle for Japan, a Coliseum-themed Pizza Parlour for Italy, a La Sagrada Familia-themed Paella restaurant for Spain etc.
He is voiced by series creator Seth MacFarlane and first appeared on television, along with the rest of the Griffin family, in a 15-minute short on December 20, 1998.
A highly precocious infant who acts as an adult, Stewie began the series as a meganomaniac sociopath, initially obsessed with violence, matricide and world domination.
He has also come to have a very close friendship with the family's anthropomorphic dog, Brian (whom he originally used to antagonize in the earliest episodes).
Stewie is considered to be the show's breakout character and has received numerous award accommodations from writers such as Jodiss Pierre.
Stewie is a one-year-old prodigy who has a very sophisticated psyche and is able to speak very fluently in an upper-class English accent with quite advanced vocabulary.
Stewie succumbs to other childish tendencies; he believes Peter has truly disappeared in a game of Peekaboo, often has difficulties understanding the concept of shapes, talks to his teddy bear Rupert as if he were alive, is overcome with laughter when Lois blows on his stomach; and has no idea how to use a toilet.
MacFarlane has stated that Stewie is meant to represent the general helplessness of an infant through the eyes of an adult.
Per cartoon physics, his ability to move objects of greater weight than himself is not surprising to other characters, nor is his ability to retrieve firearms from hammerspace or his ability to talk.
Stewie employs these to cope with the stresses of infant life (such as teething pain, and eating broccoli) and to murder his mother, Lois, with mixed success at best depending on the objective.
As made clear in the pilot episode, Stewie's matricidal tendencies are a result of Lois constantly (and unwittingly) thwarting his schemes, and so he desires to kill her to carry out his plans without her interference.
In other, later episodes, Stewie engages in other violent or criminal acts, including robbery, aggravated assault, carjacking, loan sharking, forgery, and killing off many minor characters (with a tank, guns, and other assorted weaponry).
The events are reverted in a deus ex machina ending, where most of the story turns out to be a computer simulation.
Because of the rather disastrous ending for himself in the simulation, being shot and killed by Peter, he decides to put aside his plans of matricide and world domination for the time being.
Stewie shows a complete disdain for most people, but does show affection and even rare instances of kindness to his family.
On a more frequent basis though, Stewie constantly disrespects Meg, as he does with most elders (and as most people do to Meg), often being rude to her and subjecting her to the malice of his misbehavior, once even tricking her outside to be attacked by bees on steroids.
In that episode, after Lois recovers and repairs a lost Rupert and serves Stewie a meal he likes, he rethinks Lois and accepts her as a loving mother.
When he becomes too dependent on her, she deliberately takes no notice of him; when he hurts himself, she tries to show notice of him again, he returns to hating her.
In the more recent seasons, Stewie has a larger amount of freedom from his parents, usually spending much of his time with Brian.
He also starts to interact with more people despite still having hatred towards many of them, as shown in cutaways in later episodes, and more flamboyant.
Stewie is shown in more recent episodes to be a superfan of Taylor Swift, and even sets her up with Chris as a prom date.
Stewie intensely dislikes him and is one of the few characters fully aware of Herbert's nature, even calling him a pervert to his face.
MacFarlane has also linked Stewie with David Hyde Pierce on more than one occasion, saying he wants Pierce to play Stewie if a live action version of the show would ever be created.
Another is where he has a picture of Chris Noth in his wallet and he expresses his wishes to have sexual relations with Brian's son, Dylan.
Since that point, MacFarlane has opted to have Stewie portrayed as sexually ambiguous, as, in his eyes, the flexibility of Stewie's sexuality allows for much more freedom in terms of writing for the character.
Characters evolve in certain ways and we found that doing the take-over-the-world thing every week was getting played out and was starting to feel a little dated.
It was weirdly feeling a little '90s and believe me, if we were still doing that, the show would be on its last legs.
He ends up going back in time to prevent a passage in Leviticus from being written: 'Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind.
Stewie (and Brian) usually form the center-plot for the show's highest rated and most critically acclaimed episodes, these being the Road to... episodes.
Stewie has been included on Family Guy T-shirts, baseball caps, bumper stickers, cardboard standups, refrigerator magnets, posters, and several other items.
Desperate to stop him, Stewie shrinks himself and makes his way to Bertram's lair within Peter's testicles to discover his plan, destroys his henchman cloning lab, and rescues a kidnapped Rupert from a rocket.
The character appeared in a Coca-Cola commercial during Super Bowl XLII, he and Brian appeared in a commercial for Wheat Thins, he presented a musical number at the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards with Brian, and he appeared at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards.
MacFarlane went on to say that Brian always hears Stewie, and more recently so does Chris, but the writers usually strive for Peter, Lois, and Meg not to hear him.
MacFarlane also states that these rules can be broken for the sake of comedy, so this could change from one episode to another.
In 992 Pietro II Orseolo concluded a treaty with the Byzantine emperor Basil II to transport Byzantine troops in exchange for commercial privileges in Constantinople.
Following repeated complaints by the Dalmatian city-states in 997, the Venetian fleet under Orseolo attacked the Neretvian pirates of Neretvia on Ascension Day in 998.
On 9 May 1000 Doge Pietro II decided to finally pacify the Croatians and the Narentines during the last Croatian-Bulgarian wars, protecting Venetian trade colonies and the interests of Romanized Dalmatians.
Without difficulties, his fleet of 6 ships scorched the entire eastern half of the Adriatic coast, with only the Neretvians offering resistance.
After the Neretvians stole goods and captured 40 tradars from Zadar, the Doge dispatched 10 ships that caught the Neretvians near the island of Kača.
Moreover, the Neretvians would also have to renounce the old tax that Venetia had to pay since 948, and guarantee safe passage to Venetian ships in the Adriatic.
At the same time that Pietro II subjugated Lastovo, the former Croatian king Svetoslav Suronja fled to Venice after being deposed by his two brothers.
Ottone Orseolo succeeded his father, Pietro II, as the doge of Venice until 1026, while his grandson Peter reigned as King of Hungary.
It was commemorated by the Doge and the bishop of Olivolo going past the Lido and blessing the waters, invoking good fortune for the Venetian navy.
The Republic of Indian Stream or Indian Stream Republic was an unrecognized constitutional republic in North America, along the section of the border that divides the current Canadian province of Quebec from the U.S. state of New Hampshire.
The area was first settled by Europeans under a land grant, not from the King of Great Britain, but from a St. Francis Indian named King Philip, after Metacomet, who was also called King Philip.
This grant was sold to one land-speculation company, while a second group of Indians from the same tribe made representations to another company of Europeans that their chief had been deposed and that they were empowered to issue a grant to the second company.
Following the Revolutionary War, both companies surveyed the territories and issued their own land grants to settlers, which frequently overlapped one another.
The establishment of Indian Stream as an independent nation was, essentially, the result of the ambiguous boundary between the United States and British Lower Canada as defined in the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
As a result, the area in and around the three tributaries that fed into the head of the Connecticut River was not definitively under the jurisdiction of either the United States or Lower Canada (which was formed in 1791).
The double taxation angered the population, and the Republic was formed to put an end to the issue until such time as the United States and Great Britain could reach a settlement on the boundary line.
One of the drafters of the constitution was Luther Parker, who served as justice of the peace for the Republic from 1832 to 1835.
The independence declaration did not cause the sheriff of Coos County to cease his involvement in affairs, with later events leading to an impending invasion by New Hampshire.
The sheriff preceded them and, on August 4, met with between 30 and 40 members of the assembly, to whom he issued an ultimatum.
The Republic ceased to operate independently the next day when five leaders of Indian Stream wrote to a British official in Sherbrooke, Lower Canada, that, with a response to their petition for protection by the British not having occurred in time, Indian Stream had agreed to annexation by New Hampshire.
In reporting the incident to the British magistrate, Tyler falsely stated under oath that the location of his arrest was Drayton, Lower Canada.
The magistrate then issued a warrant for Blanchard's arrest, which was carried out by a deputy and a few members of the British faction of Streamers, who returned with Blanchard toward the magistrate's house in Lower Canada.
Along the way, a group of Streamers stopped them in the road, rescued Blanchard and returned with their freed comrade to Indian Stream.
Several hours later, there was a commotion in the road nearby from a posse of armed Streamers, emboldened by liquor, bent on making an impression.
The invading posse shot the deputy through the thigh and then captured the hobbled magistrate with a blow of a saber to his scalp during a struggle.
They returned to Canaan, Vermont, with the bleeding magistrate as prisoner, where local leaders treated his wound and released him immediately.
In the aftermath, a detachment of fifty New Hampshire militia, including troops and officers, occupied the territory from mid-November until February 18, 1836.
Both governments, appalled at the idea of war over a matter so trivial as a hardware-store debt, determined to take measures so that matters did not escalate, and an uneasy peace endured in the years preceding the conclusion of a treaty settling the border.
In July 1837, Lord Palmerston in London dismissed all charges in the British judiciary system arising from the incident and reiterated the British position that the territory was part of British North America.
The area was still described as Indian Stream at the time of the U.S. census taken on June 1, 1840, when the local population totalled 315.
Trans-Israel pipeline (), also Tipline or Eilat-Ashkelon Pipeline is an oil pipeline in Israel that transported crude oil originating from Iran inside Israel and to Europe.
The pipeline is owned and operated by the Eilat Ashkelon Pipeline Company (EAPC) which also operates several other oil pipelines in Israel.
In 2003, Israel and Russia made an agreement to supply Asian markets with Russian oil delivered by tankers from Novorossiysk to Ashkelon and then reloaded onto tankers in Eilat for shipment to Asia.
This route from Europe to Asia is shorter than the traditional one around Africa, and cheaper than the one via the Suez Canal.
In December 2014, a breach near the southern end of the pipeline led to a massive oil spill into the Evrona Nature Reserve.
On 27 June 2016, the Swiss Federal Tribunal decided the case in Iran's favour with an award of $1.1 billion plus interest.
The communes neighbouring Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine are Paris, to the south, Clichy, to the west, Villeneuve-la-Garenne, Gennevilliers and L'Île-Saint-Denis, to the north, and Saint-Denis to the east.
At the same time, the commune of La Chapelle-Saint-Denis was disbanded and divided between the city of Paris, Saint-Ouen, Saint-Denis, and Aubervilliers.
The commune of Montmartre was also disbanded; the city of Paris annexed most of Montmartre, but Saint-Ouen did receive a small northern part of the territory of that commune.
From mid-2017 it will also be connected at Mairie de Saint-Ouen to the extended Gare Saint Lazare to Olympiades Paris Metro Line 14.
It was created in 1948, is member of the university of Paris-Seine and now part of the ISAE Group, which has a total of 6000 students.
Indian Stream is a tributary of the Connecticut River, approximately 19.1 miles (30.9 km) long, in New Hampshire in the United States.
It rises in the mountains of extreme northern New Hampshire, in Coos County near the Canada–United States border, where the Middle Branch of Indian Stream joins the West Branch.
The area around Pittsburg was the subject of a border dispute in the 1830s between the United States and Canada, leading to the short-lived, self-proclaimed Republic of Indian Stream.
The border dispute, based upon an ambiguity in the Treaty of Paris (1783), was resolved in 1842, with the river drainage and the land lying east of Halls Stream established as part of the state of New Hampshire.
William Nathaniel Bell (March 6, 1817 – September 6, 1887), originally from Edwardsville, Illinois and later a resident of Portland, Oregon, was a member of the Denny Party, the first group of white settlers in what is now Seattle, Washington.
in 1852, Bell was a delegate at the Monticello Convention that produced a petition to US Congress to split the Oregon Territory, creating the Washington Territory, which would later become the state of Washington.
Bell named many of the streets in the area after his own children, including Bell Street, Virginia and Olive Streets and Olive Way (named for his daughters), and Stewart Street, named for Olive's husband Joseph H. Stewart.
World War II raged early in the decade, and just like baseballers, many popular boxers went overseas to fight for their countries, Joe Louis, Billy Conn, Beau Jack, and Bob Montgomery among them.
Louis was used to entice Americans to join the war against Germany, a couple of propaganda movies starring Louis and many propaganda posters being produced.
Louis' great rival, Max Schmeling, a lifelong opponent of the Nazi regime, was forced by Adolf Hitler to join the German military after his loss to Louis at their 1938 rematch.
Television was in its infancy in the 1940s, but nonetheless, viewers were treated to many 10-round, non-title fights, and many crown challengers became household names under the absence of so many world champions.
Sugar Ray Robinson and Jake LaMotta began their series of famous bouts towards the middle of the decade, Jack and Montgomery fought four times, and Rocky Graziano and Tony Zale starred in what boxing critics have often called one of the fiercest rivalries in boxing history.
The heavyweight division was dominated by Louis, the only man in history to be world champion throughout every year of a decade.
(note on boxing in 1945: because of the events of World War II during this year, there were only two world championship boxing bouts in 1945).
Media coverage of the Arab–Israeli conflict by journalists in international news media has been said to be biased by both sides and independent observers.
These perceptions of bias, possibly exacerbated by the hostile media effect, have generated more complaints of partisan reporting than any other news topic and have led to a proliferation of media watchdog groups.
A poll of British newsreaders that same year found that only 9% were aware that Israel was the occupying power of Palestinian territories.
Israeli academic surveys at the time of Operation Defensive Shield (2002) also found that the Israeli public thought the West Bank revolt was evidence that Palestinians were trying, murderously, to wrest control of territories within Israel itself.
Brian Whitaker, reviewing 1,659 articles covering events in the Guardian and Evening Standard for this period (2000–2001), observed the same effects, adding that omission of important adjectives was notable: 66% failed to mention that the incidents took place in an occupied territory.
Thus, Israeli violence is restricted to responses to specific events like putting down the First and Second Intifadas, Israel's wars in Gaza and the Palestinian knifing attacks in 2015–2016, which were mainly the work of lone wolves.
Consequently, he concludes, the most intense suppression of uprisings and wars cannot be considered in isolation from the occupation regime as an everyday experience.
Such omissions and alterations in the terms used are cited as an example of the pervasive use of euphemisms or loaded terminology in reportage on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a problem which the International Press Institute thought sufficiently important by 2013 to issue a handbook to guide journalists through the semantic minefield.
The quality of both Media coverage of the Arab–Israeli conflict and research and debates on university campuses have been the object of extensive monitoring and research.
In addition to Israel's hasbara organization, intent on countering negative press images, there are also many private pro-Israeli organizations, among them CAMERA, FLAME, HonestReporting, Palestinian Media Watch and the Anti-Defamation League which subject reportage to scrutiny in the belief news on Israel has systematically distorted reality to privilege Palestinian versions.
Such difficulties have given rise to anxieties that the topic itself is at risk, and that the political pressures circumscribing research and discussion undermine academic freedom itself.
Internal Israeli studies have argued that local press coverage has traditionally been conservative, reflecting the often tendentious and biased views of the political and military establishment, and similar tendencies have been noted in Palestinian reportage.
In a sample of 48 reports of 22 Palestinian deaths, 40 Israeli accounts only gave the IDF version, a mere 8 included a Palestinian reaction.
In a study of BBC television news coverage, the Glasgow Media Group documented differences in the language used by journalists for Israelis and Palestinians.
This selective inclusion of information, which results from omitting other information, may distort the presentation of events in favor of one side or the other.
In a 2001 study done by FAIR, only 4% of the US media mentioned that an occupation by Israel is occurring.
In an update to the study, the number has reportedly gone down to only 2% of the media mentioning an occupation.
Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) (a pro-Israel group) notes that factual errors can be errors of omission, where something important was not said, resulting in readers being misled, or commission, where information used is not true.
Lack of verification involves the publication of potentially unreliable information prior to or without independent confirmation of the facts, and has resulted in various scandals.
CAMERA believe that when dealing with vilification of Israel, facts remain unchecked, accusations remain unverified, and journalistic responsibility is replaced by disclaimers.
Selective reporting involves devoting more resources, such as news articles or air time, to the coverage of one side of the story over another.
In the context of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, FAIR believe the media in the United States downplay violence against Palestinians and stated that National Public Radio reported more Israeli casualties of the Arab–Israeli conflict than Palestinian casualties by percentage.
CAMERA made the opposite complaint – that NPR gave pro-Arab speakers 77% more time than Israeli or pro-Israeli speakers, and segments that included only pro-Arab speakers were almost twice as numerous and four times as long as those that omitted Arab speakers altogether.
Decontextualization is a type of omission in which the omitted information is essential to understanding a decision, action, or event, its underlying motivations or key events leading up to it.
In the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, both sides accuse each other of coercion or censorship as an explanation of alleged bias in favor of the other side.
In support of these claims, Israeli advocates point to kidnappings of foreign reporters by Palestinians, while Palestinian advocates point to media blackouts and confiscation of reports by Israelis.
Additionally, both sides point to reports by both governmental and non-governmental organizations, which assess the degree of journalistic freedom in the region.
Due to the severity of these actions, which violate the ethics and standards of journalism, instances of forgery and/or falsification are frequently cited by Israelis and their advocates and/or by Palestinians and their advocates—depending on the nature of the forgery and/or falsification—to support claims that the media favors the other side.
headlines are the first, and sometimes only, news items seen by readers and should provide the accurate and specific essence of a news story.
In the context of the media, sensationalism refers to claims that the media chooses to report on shocking events or to exaggerate, at the expense of accuracy and objectivity, to improve viewer, listener or readership ratings.
This criticism, also known as media circus, is proffered by both Israelis and Palestinians as a possible explanation for alleged bias.
Richard Falk, United Nations special rapporteur on Palestinian human rights, has stated that in the media-distorted picture surrounding the Middle East, those who reports honestly and factually are accused of bias, whereas pro-Israel bias is perceived as mainstream.
To substantiate claims that the media favors the other side, participants in the conflict on each side frequently cite a number of illustrative and extreme examples of controversial reporting.
This section lists incidents of controversial reporting frequently cited by only Israelis and Israel advocates, by only Palestinians and Palestinian advocates, or by both sides.
In 2001, following a non-military investigation, conducted by Israeli Southern Command Maj.-Gen. Yom Tov Samia, the Israeli Prime Minister's Foreign Media Advisor, Dr. Ra'anan Gissin, along with Daniel Seaman of the Israeli Government Press Office (GPO) publicly challenged the accuracy of the France 2 report.
On October 1, 2007, Israel officially denied responsibility for the shooting and claimed that the France 2 footage had been staged, prompting criticism from Al-Durrah's father.
The French defamation case was definitely settled on June 26, 2013, by the French Court of Appeals: Philippe Karsenty was convicted of defamation and fined €7,000 by the Paris Court of Appeals.
The young man in the picture was 20-year-old Tuvia Grossman, a Jewish American student from Chicago who had been studying at a Yeshiva in Israel; the Israeli police officer in the photograph, actually came to his rescue by threatening his Palestinian assailants.
The Grossman photo appears frequently in Israeli criticisms of the media, because the photograph implied that the police officer who rescued Grossman had beaten him, it implied an Israeli perpetrator, it implied a Palestinian victim, and it conveyed the opposite of what had transpired.
The fighting, which lasted eight days and resulted in the deaths of 52 Palestinians (including 14 civilians, according to the IDF, and 22 civilians, according to HRW) and 23 Israeli soldiers, has been interpreted quite differently by Israelis and Palestinians.
Early news publications, following both IDF estimates of 200 Palestinians killed and Palestinian estimates of 500 Palestinians killed, reported hundreds of Palestinian deaths and repeated claims that a massacre had taken place.
Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International later found that no massacre had taken place, although both organizations charged the IDF with war crimes and human rights violations.
The IDF agreed that the report should have mentioned two gunboat shells fired at about the time of the deaths but stated that these shells had landed too far away from the area to be the cause of the explosion and this omission did not impact the report's overall conclusion that Israel had not been responsible for the blast.
According to Human Rights Watch, the IDF acknowledged that the cause of the blast may have been an unexploded 155mm artillery shell from an earlier shelling, or another location, but suggested it might have been placed there as an IED by Palestinians.
This incident is often cited by Israel advocates who claim that the media favors the Palestinian side, because of reports which attributed the blast to the IDF prior to the conclusion of the IDF investigation.
On August 5, 2006 Charles Foster Johnson of Little Green Footballs accused Reuters of inappropriately manipulating images of destruction to Beirut caused by Israel during the Second Lebanon War.
In response to these allegations, Reuters toughened its photo editing policy and admitted to inappropriate photo manipulation on the part of Adnan Hajj, a freelance photographer whom Reuters subsequently fired.
The article prompted criticism by HonestReporting for coming to conclusions prematurely, and resulted in an investigation by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
A few days later an official letter was issued by Al Jazeera's director general, Wadah Khanfar, in which he admitted that the program violated the station's Code of Ethics and that he had ordered the channel's programming director to take steps to ensure that such an incident does not recur.
A Gaza man falsely claimed that his five-month-old baby died on March 23, 2012, when the generator powering his respirator ran out of fuel, a result of the Egyptian blockade on Gaza and Egyptian cut-off of fuel to Gaza.
The baby's father, Abdul-Halim Helou, said that his son Mohammed was born with a lymphatic disorder and needed removal of the fluids that accumulated in his respiratory system, and had only a few months to live.
However, the report was called into question when it emerged that the timing of the baby's death had been misrepresented, and appeared to be an attempt by Gaza's Hamas rulers to exploit the death to gain sympathy.
The Associated Press later learned that news of Mohammed Helou's death had already appeared on March 4 in the local Arabic newspaper Al-Quds and that Hamas was now trying to recycle the story to capitalize on the family's tragedy.
When confronted by the Associated Press, the family and Hamas official Bassem al-Qadri continued to insist that the baby had only recently died.
Gaza is a coastal plain, bordering the Negev desert which witnesses flash floods during heavy rains as water runs across the surface of the impervious desert soil.
During the 2013 winter storm in the Middle east Ma'an News Agency reported that Israel opened dams, leading to Gaza floods.
Razan Ashraf Abdul Qadir al-Najjar was a nurse/paramedic who was killed by the Israeli army while volunteering as a medic during the 2018 Gaza border protests.
She was fatally shot in the chest by an Israeli soldier as she, reportedly with her arms raised to show she was unarmed, tried to help evacuate the wounded near Israel's border fence with Gaza.
The Israeli army released footage in which she purportedly admitted to participating in the protests as a human shield, supposedly at the request of Hamas.
The video was later found to be a clip from an interview with a Lebanese television station that had been edited by the IDF to misleadingly take al-Najjar's comments out of context.
The French film (with English subtitles) examines media coverage of the Arab–Israeli conflict in French media, and claims that the media's presentation of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict in France is consistently skewed against Israel and may be responsible for exacerbating anti-Semitism.
The film, with its title derived from the words Palestine and Hollywood, claims that the Western media uncritically accepts and reports the stories of freelance Palestinian videographers who record staged scenes, often involving faked or exaggerated injuries, to elicit sympathy and support.
The movie claims that the influence of pro-Israel media watchdog groups, such as CAMERA and Honest Reporting, leads to distorted and pro-Israel media reports.
False compromise refers to the claim, made by some Israeli advocates and by some Palestinian advocates, that their side of the conflict is morally right and the other side is morally wrong and, therefore, attempts to balance the presentation of both viewpoints wrongfully suggests that both sides are morally equivalent.
Good journalism is about fine analysis and making distinctions, and this applies as much to moral distinctions as to any others.
Structural geographic bias refers to the claim, made by some Palestinian advocates, that the Western media favors Israel, allegedly as a result of Western reporters living in Israel.
Advocacy groups, governments and individuals use the internet, new media and social media to try to influence public perceptions of both sides in the Arab/Palestinian–Israeli conflict.
While Israeli and Palestinian advocacy websites promote their respective points of view, fierce debate over the Arab–Israeli conflict has embroiled social networking websites and applications with user-generated content, such as Facebook, Google Earth, Twitter and Wikipedia.
Because the website allows users to join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region, Facebook has become embroiled in a number of regional conflicts.
When Israeli settlements were moved from being listed under the Israel network to the Palestine network, thousands of Israelis living in the area protested Facebook's decision.
In response to the protest, Facebook has allowed users living in the area to select either Israel or Palestine as their home country.
Another controversy over Facebook regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict concerns Facebook groups which, against Facebook's terms of use, promote hatred and violence.
After taking over the group, the JIDF began to remove its more than 48,000 members and replaced the group's graphic with a picture of an IAF jet with the flag of Israel in the background.
Avital Leibovich, the head of the foreign desk for Israel's military, sent a tweet from her official account of a video of rockets from Gaza being fired at Israel.
Leibovich was one of a number of bloggers who criticized Khulood Badawi, an Information and Media Coordinator for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs who tweeted a picture of a Palestinian child covered in blood.
It was discovered the picture was published in 2006 and was of a Palestinian girl who had died in an accident and been brought to the hospital shortly after an Israeli air strike in Gaza.
Humanitarian Coordinator and the Head of Office in Jerusalem later met with officials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel to discuss these events.
There are differing accounts of how the Israeli air strike, reported to be as little as 100 meters away, may have caused the accident.
While academics debate the impact of the media on public opinion, lobbying organisations view the media as essential in influencing public perceptions of the conflict and, therefore, as paramount in influencing and securing favorable public policy in relation to the conflict.
The energy value of coal, or the fuel content, is the amount of potential energy in coal that can be converted into actual heating ability.
While chemistry provides methods of calculating the heating value of a certain amount of a substance, there is a difference between this theoretical value and its application to real coal.
Mount Tai () is a mountain of historical and cultural significance located north of the city of Tai'an, in Shandong province, China.
Mount Tai has been a place of worship for at least 3,000 years and served as one of the most important ceremonial centers of China during large portions of this period.
Mount Tai is located in western Shandong, just north of the city of Tai'an and to the south of the provincial capital Jinan.
During this time, two cultures had emerged near the mountain, the Dawenkou culture to the south and the Longshan culture to the north.
During the Xia Dynasty (c. 2070–1600 ) the mountain was known as Mount Dai () and lay within the borders of Qingzhou, one of the Nine Provinces of ancient China.
Religious worship of Mount Tai has a tradition dating back 3,000 years, from the time of the Shang (c. 1600–1046 ) to the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912).
The sacrifices were an official imperial rite and Mount Tai became one of the principal places where the emperor would carry out the sacrifices to pay homage to heaven (on the summit) and earth (at the foot of the mountain) in the Feng () and Shan () sacrifices respectively.
By the time of the Zhou Dynasty (c. 1046–256 ) sacrifices at Mount Tai had become highly ritualized ceremonies in which a local feudal lord would travel there to make sacrifices of food and jade ritual items.
In the Spring and Autumn period (771–476 ) the vassal states of Qi and Lu bordered Mount Tai to the north and south respectively, from where their feudal lords both made independent sacrifices on Mount Tai.
In the ensuing Warring States period (475–221 ), to protect itself against invasion, the State of Qi erected a wall, the ruins of which are still present today.
In 219 , Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China, held a ceremony on the summit and proclaimed the unity of his empire in a well-known inscription.
Japan, India, the Persian court in exile, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, the Turks, Khotan, the Khmer, and the Umayyad Caliphate all had representatives attending the Feng and Shan sacrifices held by Emperor Gaozong of Tang in 666 at Mount Tai.
A renovation project was completed in late October 2005, which aimed at restoring cultural relics and renovating damaged buildings of cultural significance.
Widely known for its special ceremonies and sacrifices, Mount Tai has seen visits by many poets and literary scholars who have traveled there to gain inspiration.
There are grandiose temples, many stone inscriptions and stone tablets with the mountain playing an important role in the development of both Buddhism and Taoism.
The uplift of the region started in the Proterozoic Era; by the end of the Proterozoic, it had become part of the continent.
Geologically, it is a tilted fault-block mountain, higher to the south than north, and is the oldest and most important example of the paleo-metamorphic system representative of the Cambrian Period in eastern China.
Referred to as the Taishan Complex, it comprises magnetized, metamorphic, sedimentary rock and an intrusive mass of various origins that were formed in the Archean Era 1700-2000 million years ago.
Subsequently, in the Proterozoic Era, the Taishan region began to rise, becoming part of the continent by the end of the era.
Six streams flow from the summit, their water renowned for its extremely low mineral content, slight acidity (pH = 6.3) and relatively high oxygen content (6.4 milligrams per liter (mg/l)).
Medicinal plants total 462 species and include multiflower knotweed, Taishan ginseng, Chinese gromwell and sealwort, which are renowned throughout the country.
According to historical records, Mount Tai became a sacred place visited by emperors to offer sacrifices and meditate in the Zhou Dynasty before 1,000 BC.
Songzi Niangniang () is seen as a goddess of fertility, like Yanguang Nainai, she is often portrayed as an attendant to Bixia Yuanjun.
Shi Gandang () is a spirit sent down from Mount Tai by Bixia Yuanjun to protect ordinary people from evil spirits.
Culturally, there will also often be Taishan Shi Gandang stones set up near buildings and other places, in order to protect those place from evil spirits.
It is located at the foot of Mount Tai in the city of Tai'an and covers an area of 96,000 square meters.
Since the time of the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD), its design has been a replica of the imperial palace, which makes it one out of three extant structures in China with the features of an imperial palace (the other two are the Forbidden City and the Confucius Temple in Qufu).
The mural extends around the eastern, western and northern walls of the hall and is 3.3 metres high and 62 metres long.
Next to the Palace of Heavenly Blessings stand the Yaocan Pavilion and the entrance archway as well as the Bronze Pavilion in the northeast corner.
From the Taishan Temple to the Blue Dawn Temple there are numerous stone tablets and inscriptions and ancient buildings on the way.
From the red gate at the foot of the mountain to the South Heaven Gate at the top are some 6,660 stone steps, which wind their way up the mountain slopes, each step offering a different view.
A flight of 7,200 total steps (including inner temple steps), with 6,293 Official Mountain Walkway Steps, lead up the East Peak of Mount Tai, along its course, there are 11 gates, 14 archways, 14 kiosks, and 4 pavilions.
In total, there are 22 temples, 97 ruins, 819 stone tablets, and 1,018 cliff-side and stone inscriptions located on Mount Tai.
These include a Temple of the Jade King (), a Temple of the Blue Deity (), a Temple of Confucius (), a Temple of Doumu () and the Puzhao Buddhist Temple ().
It was written by a member of the Aisin Gioro clan () in 1907 and is featured on the reverse side of the 5 yuan bill of the 5th series renminbi banknotes.
Legend has it that the emperor who commissioned the stela was dissatisfied with the planned inscription and decided to leave it blank instead.
The supplies for the many vendors along the road to the summit are carried up by porters either from the Midway Gate to Heaven or all the way up from the foot of the mountain.
On the way up the 7,200 stone steps, the climber first passes the Ten Thousand Immortals Tower (Wanxianlou), Arhat Cliff (Luohanya), and Palace to Goddess Dou Mu (Doumugong).
To the northeast of the Palace to Goddess Dou Mu is Sutra Rock Valley in which the Buddhist Diamond Sutra was cut in characters measuring fifty centimeters across believed to be inscribed in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The list is sorted by major drainage basin, running from north to south along the Atlantic coast, with respective tributaries arranged based on their entry into the main stream from mouth to source.
Thus Pohjola can be thought of as a purely abstract place, a literary trope standing as the source of evil — a foreboding, a forever cold land far in the north.
The great smith Seppo Ilmarinen forges the Sampo at her request as a payment for the hand of her daughter in marriage.
The Sampo is a magic mill of plenty like the Cornucopia, which churns out abundance, but its churning lid has also been interpreted as a symbol of the celestial vault of the heavens, embedded with stars, revolving around a central axis or the pillar of the world.
When the proposer finally gets the daughter, weddings and great drinking and eating parties are held at the great hall of Pohjola.
Klang or Kelang, officially Royal Town of Klang (), is a royal town and former capital of the state of Selangor, Malaysia.
It was the civil capital of Selangor in an earlier era prior to the emergence of Kuala Lumpur and the current capital, Shah Alam.
Port Klang, which is located in the Klang District, is the 12th busiest transshipment port and the 12th busiest container port in the world.
As of 2010, the Klang City has a total population of 240,016 (10,445 in the city centre), while the population of Klang District is 842,146, and the population of all towns managed by Klang Municipal Council is 744,062.
Bronze Age drums, axes and other artefacts have been found in the vicinity of the town and within the town itself.
Klang however remained in Malay hands after the fall of Melaka to the Portuguese in 1511, and was controlled by the Sultan Johor-Riau.
In the 17th century, the Bugis began to settle in the coastal region of Selangor including Klang, and the Selangor sultanate was created in the 1766, which then controlled Klang.
In the 19th century the importance of Klang greatly increased by the rapid expansion of tin mining as a result of the increased demand for tin from the West.
The desire to control the Klang Valley led directly to the Klang War (also called the Selangor Civil War) of 1867–1874 when Raja Mahdi fought to regain what he considered his birthright as territorial chief against Raja Abdullah.
During the Klang War, in 1868, the seat of power was moved to Bandar Temasya, Kuala Langat, and then to Jugra which became the royal capital of Selangor.
Today Klang is no longer State capital or the main seat of the ruler, but it remains the headquarters of the District to which it gives it name.
Until the construction of Port Swettenham (now known as Port Klang) in 1901, Klang remained the chief outlet for Selangor's tin, and its position was enhanced by the completion of the Klang Valley railway to Bukit Kuda in 1886, which was then connected to Klang itself via a rail bridge, the Connaught Bridge, completed in 1890.
In the 1890s its growth was further stimulated by the development of the district into the State' leading producer of coffee, and later rubber.
In 1903, the royal seat was moved back to Klang when it became the official seat of Sultan Sulaiman (Sultan Alauddin Sulaiman Shah).
The first road bridge over the Klang River connecting the two parts of the town, the Belfield Bridge, was constructed in 1908.
In 1926 the health boards of Klang and Port Swettenham were merged, and in 1945 the local authority was renamed Klang Town Board.
In 1954, the Town Board became the Klang Town Council after a local election was set up to select its members in accordance with the Local Government Election Ordinance of 1950.
In 1963, the Port Klang Authority was created and it now administers three Port Klang areas: Northport, Southpoint, and West Port.
In 1971, the Klang District Council, which incorporated the nearby townships of Kapar and Meru as well as Port Klang, was formed.
After undergoing a further reorganisation according to the Local Government Act of 1976 (Act 171), Klang District Council was upgraded to Klang Municipal Council (KMC) on 1 January 1977.
From 1974 to 1977, Klang was the state capital of Selangor before the seat of government shifted to Shah Alam in 1977.
The entire geographical area in the immediate vicinity of the river, which begins at Kuala Lumpur and runs west all the way to Port Klang, is known as the Klang Valley.
North Klang is divided into three sub-districts which are Kapar (Located at the north of North Klang), Rantau Panjang (situated at the west of North Klang) and Meru (at the east of North Klang).
Klang North used to be the main commercial centre of Klang, but since 2008, more residential and commercial areas as well as government offices are being developed in Klang South.
Hence, this area tends to be busier and becomes the centre of social and recreational activities after office hours and during the weekends.
This is triggered by the rapid growth of new and modern townships such as Bandar Botanic, Bandar Bukit Tinggi, Taman Sentosa Perdana, Taman Sri Andalas, Taman Bayu Perdana, Glenmarie Cove, Kota Bayuemas etc.
At the Klang North side, some of the older and established residential areas include Berkeley Garden, Taman Eng Ann, Taman Klang Utama, Bandar Baru Klang and so forth.
The economy of Klang is closely linked with that the greater Klang Valley conurbation which is the most densely populated, urbanised and industrialised region of Malaysia.
There is a wide range of industries within the Klang municipality, major industrial areas may be found in Bukit Raja, Kapar, Meru, Taman Klang Utama and Sungai Buloh, Pulau Indah, Teluk Gong and others.
Rubber used to be an important part of the economy of the region, but from the 1970s onwards, many rubber plantations have switched to palm oil, and were then converted again for urban development and infrastructure use.
It is home to about 95 shipping companies and agents, 300 custom brokers, 25 container storage centres, as well as more than 70 freight and transport companies.
The Port Klang Free Zone was established in 2004 to transform Port Klang into a regional distribution hub as well as a trade and logistics centre.
The 1957 and 1970 figures are for the Klang district and were collected before the reorganisation of Klang and the Bumiputra status being used as a category.
The figure for Klang city is not given as what constitutes Bandar Klang appears to be inconsistent with considerable fluctuation in numbers over the years.
Among the Chinese community, there are the Ang Bin Hoey triad gangs such as Gang 21 which operates in Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley.
Due to economic development and changes in the industry, many rubber estates where Indian plantation workers used to live and work were closed, and this is thought to have contributed to a rise of gangsterism amongst the displaced and economically-deprived Indians.
It is thought that the Indians originally worked for Chinese gang leaders but they now dominate many of these criminal organisations.
Klang is served by five commuter stations that constitute the Port Klang Line of the KTM Komuter system, namely Bukit Badak, Kampung Raja Uda, Klang, Teluk Pulai and the Teluk Gadung stations.
Klang is connected to the rest of the Klang Valley via the Federal Highway, the New Klang Valley Expressway, South Klang Valley Expressway, the North Klang Straits Bypass (New North Klang Straits Bypass) as well as the KESAS Highway.
There is a non-stop hourly bus service everyday from and to KLIA2 to Klang, of which the embarkation point is located at the AEON Bukit Tinggi Shopping Centre.
The double-decked bridge now closed to car traffic after a new Kota Bridge was built alongside it in the 1992, although the lower deck is still used by pedestrians, bicycles and motorcycles.
The RM199 million Klang Third Bridge was opened for traffic in May 2017, complementing the existing two other road bridges in the city that connect Klang North and Klang South.
Klang is incomplete without Indian restaurants because Klang has one of the best Indian restaurant in the state especially in the federal area, many Indian restaurants located in the Little India as the restaurants visited by not only Indians moreover by Malay and Chinese too.
Banana leaf rice, Chicken and Mutton Briyani, Chicken Tandoori, Idiyappam, Idli and so on are the cuisine people craving for lunch and dinner can get easily in here.
The coastal regions and islands near Port Klang are also known for their seafood, such as Pulau Ketam, Bagan Hailam, Teluk Gong, Pandamaran and Tanjung Harapan.
He is voiced by Seth Green and first appeared on television, along with the rest of the Griffin family, in a 15-minute short on December 20, 1998.
Originally designed as a somewhat gregarious, yet still unintelligent teenager, Chris became more awkward and idiotic over the course of the show.
Running gags in the series involving Chris include the existence of an 'Evil Monkey' in his closet (though it is later revealed that the monkey is not evil), him masturbating frequently, and his pedophile admirer Herbert.
Aside from that, Chris deals with problems that any other pubescent male would face: acne, girls, distance from family members, and school.
Chris is often willing to take drastic measures to get what he wants or needs, particularly when it comes to keeping up with his grades in school.
He once believed that he got a bad grade on a mathematics test when he tickled his brain by sticking an army man's rifle into his nose and accidentally puncturing a lobe.
However, Chris is a faster learner and more well-endowed than his father Peter is, as he has a variety of talents, such as filmmaking, video editing, etc.
Unlike Peter, Chris enjoys his sister Meg's company, and the two are frequently shown to get along very nicely, much to Lois's relief.
Up until sometime during the sixth season, Chris was more socially active at school than his sister Meg, having various friends, including several girls, while attending Buddy Cianci Junior High School, and later for sometime at James Woods Regional High School.
Strangely though, as the series progressed and Meg became more often seen with her group of friends, Chris' social status was stripped to the point of being unpopular and virtually friendless at James Woods Regional High School.
While just as socially looked down upon as Meg (though to a lesser extent of being bullied), he is outwardly confident and spirited, mostly when dealing with the typical hardships of being a teenager, such as running for Homecoming King, standing up to bullies, lashing out against his pushy and demanding date, and acting out against Peter's hurtful ways.
Later in the episode, however, Chris' popularity turns him mean and shallow, and he dumps Connie after making out with two other girls at a house party.
Although their friendship is initially a ploy for Neil to get closer to Meg, Neil eventually feels bad for using Chris and returns to him to resume their friendship.
This, however, causes a rift between Chris and Peter when the former realizes that the monkey cares more for him than his father.
After that, the monkey happily moves out of Chris' closet to live in the closet of Tom Tucker's son Jake, where the cycle will start in a new beginning, as Jake himself experiences difficulty with his father.
These taunts give Chris—in character as Skywalker—the conviction to fight back against Stewie/Darth Vader and Carter/Darth Sidious (both played by MacFarlane).
Inherent design flaws in early 17th century Swedish leather cannons led to the gun tube overheating which prematurely ignited the gunpowder, injuring the loader.
Muzzle-loading cannon on merchant and naval vessels of the Age of Sail would cook off if their guns were loaded when the vessels caught fire.
If the kindling point of the propellant is eventually reached it will burn even though the primer has not been struck, thus firing the chambered round.
The time this takes depends on the temperature of the chamber and of the environment, but is usually several seconds, although if caused deliberately may be very fast.
Most modern infantry assault rifles fire from a closed bolt, meaning that when ready to fire, there is a round in the chamber of the barrel and the bolt and working parts are in the forward position, closing the breech.
Assuming proper operation (no stoppages) a cook off is possible with this design because a cartridge is kept chambered in the potentially hot chamber, where it can absorb enough heat to cause ignition of its propellant.
Apart from the possibility to cook off the heated propellant requires a special formula to allow for consistent muzzle velocity throughout all temperatures.
Caseless ammunition eliminates the metal case that typically holds the primer or igniter and the powder charge (smokeless powder) that propels the bullet.
The current technique, used in tanks such as the M1 Abrams, is to armor the compartments and provide blow-off panels to channel the force of the explosion to the exterior of the tank and prevent the jack-in-the-box effect.
This was a significant contributor to the 1967 fire disaster aboard the , when such a fire (set off by an inadvertently fired Zuni rocket striking the fuel tanks of a waiting A-4 Skyhawk) detonated two unguided bombs of Korean War vintage which had been loaded onto the stricken bomber, rupturing the fuel tanks of adjacent aircraft and setting off a chain reaction of similarly cooked off bombs.
Because of the age and condition of the first two bombs, the fire safety crew was unable to cool them before they cooked off, which should have been possible for contemporary weapons with higher cook-off temperatures.
A different sort of cook-off event was the trigger for the 1969 explosion and fire aboard the , which also involved a Zuni rocket.
The Ming dynasty ruled China from 1368 to 1644, succeeding the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty and falling amidst much peasant turmoil to the Manchu-ruled Qing dynasty.
A series of claimants to the Ming throne continued to claim the throne of what was known as the Southern Ming until the last was executed in 1662.
According to the rules of the imperial house, the first character of the names of Ming princes is a generation name, while the second character contains a character radical that cycles through the five elements of Chinese philosophy, namely, 木 (wood) 火 (fire) 土 (earth) 金 (metal) 水 (water), starting from the generation after imperial founder Zhu Yuanzhang.
He began playing in bands starting in the sixth grade, generally in the role of lead singer, songwriter and rhythm guitarist, and also wrote music reviews for a number of publications.
DeMatteis had mixed feelings about the series itself, and said the one part of which he was unreservedly proud was the look into Namor's years as an amnesiac homeless man.
The arc has been collected in multiple editions and remains one of the most popular, and respected, stories in Spider-Man's history.
Although the League had its serious side and often faced world-threatening villains, the stories included such characters as the lovably inept G'nort, the worst Green Lantern in the Green Lantern Corps, Mr. Nebula, the interplanetary decorator, the Injustice League, a bunch of bumbling losers and a flock of homicidal penguins who had been hybridized with piranhas.
In the 2000s, DeMatteis redefined the Spectre, through the character of Hal Jordan, as a spirit of redemption rather than of vengeance.
Originally broadcasting only to Launceston and Northern Tasmania, it has broadcast to the whole of Tasmania since aggregation of the Tasmanian television market in 1994.
A shortened version of the day's bulletin is upload by the station's YouTube channel, featuring only local news and sport reports alongside weather forecasts.
For the ten weeks leading up to the Burnie Ten, Mark Connelly trains a group of people in a program sponsored by Seven Tasmania.
In the early years of the program, people who took part were well known in Tasmania, however in 2006, a Launceston family were trained to run the event.
In the 1990s, the station aired Network Ten's daily sports program Sports Tonight as part of its dual-affiliation, however this was eventually replaced by Seven's current affairs program, Today Tonight.
The station is affiliated with the metropolitan Seven Network and also broadcasts most of Seven's sub-channels (7TWO, 7mate, 7flix, Openshop, and Racing.com).
Following aggregation in 1994, the station was a combined Seven and Ten affiliate, however the Ten content was gradually removed from the schedule in the late 2000s following the launch of digital-only station TDT in 2003.

He has written numerous books and papers on literary theory, continental philosophy, philosophy of music, philosophy of language and philosophy of science.
More recently, he has been focussing on the work of Alain Badiou in relation with both the analytic tradition (particularly analytic philosophy of mathematics) and with the philosophy of Derrida.
However, if the code is written to end on a base case of size 1, rather than terminating on either size 1 or size 2, rounding the 2/3 of 2 upwards gives an infinite number of calls.
From this point of view, someone who is not fully hearing has a hearing loss or is said to be hard of hearing or deaf.
Moving down the scale and further away from the medical norm, people are classed as hearing, then slightly hard of hearing, moderately hard of hearing, severely hard of hearing, and finally deaf (severely deaf or profoundly deaf for those furthest from the norm).
This being the case, a single person could be described as hearing by one person and Deaf by another because the first person was thinking simply about the subject's sensitivity to sound whereas the other person was thinking, partially about the persons ability to rely on residual hearing, but also about their personal views, their identity, or perhaps their ignorance of cultural norms.
It was updated daily, with there being only 29 days without a comic in its seven years of production and with 2568 comics being made altogether.
The initial strips were mostly done in GIF format (occasionally using JPEG for more graphic-intensive comics) before converting to PNG in May 2004.
Amongst past story arcs there have been retellings of various Mega Man games (which often play out quite differently from the originals), as well as battles against powerful foes.
In addition, many of the story arcs involve either time travel, dimensional travel, and villains who want to kill all the characters.
Slated to start on April 1, 2000, the plan fell through because Anez did not have a scanner with which to scan his drawings.
He instead released a sequence of filler comics using Mega Man sprites, which he intended to be a temporary measure until he gained access to a scanner, at which point he would implement his initial plan involving the hand drawn comics.
Neither the initial attempt nor a later attempt at it went well, and both times he returned to the Mega Man sprite comic.
Dave stated the reason for this is he realized that he still could not draw, and was not going to get any better.
Bob is depicted as a gray Proto Man recolor while George is a Mega Man recolor with blond hair and no helmet.
David planned to end the comic by April 1, 2007, which is the end of the seventh year of the comic's run.
The plot of Bob and George involves various re-tellings of the plot from the Mega Man video games, interspersed with the characters interacting and sometimes battling villains of Anez's own creation.
Time travel and inter-dimensional travel are common occurrences, with many of the characters hailing from dimensions (or times) other than that of the main continuity.
A running theme of the comic is that most, if not all, of the characters are fully aware that they are in a webcomic.

The New Guard was a short-lived Australian monarchist, anti-communist, and later fascist-inspired organisation which emerged from the Sydney-based Old Guard on 16 February 1931, during the Great Depression.
The organisation attracted great publicity when member Francis de Groot, on horseback and at Campbell's direction, upstaged Lang in cutting the ribbon at the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in protest at the latter's anti-monarchist ideology.
In response to Premier of New South Wales Jack Lang's radical agenda and maverick style within the Australian political sphere, coupled with rising pressure from trade unionists, counter-movements began to rise in opposition to the Labor Party.
Among them was the Old Guard, a secret organisation purported to exist as early as 1917, which at the time of the Great Depression was administrated primarily by businessmen Roger Goldfinch and Robert Gillespie, among other anonymous committee members.
The Old Guard was a coalition of imperial loyalists, devoted to the British Empire and ready to act preemptively to prevent a socialist revolution from taking place.
At the height of its popularity the organisation enjoyed close ties with the NSW Police Force, Attorney-General’s Department and the Department of Defence, and boasted 30,000 members comprising strongly of rural New South Welshmen and wealthy Protestant Anglo-Saxons.
Among the Old Guard's members was World War I veteran Eric Campbell, an army officer and former gunner with the First Australian Imperial Force.
Campbell had been introduced to the Old Guard by John Scott, a fellow member of the board of Sydney insurance company Sun Insurance.
The organisation was sworn to absolute secrecy of membership, and was divided into cells so that its leadership would be hard to identify.
Campbell disagreed with this arrangement, asserting that the uncommunicative nature of its leadership to its members, mostly returned servicemen, was ill-fitting to their nature as soldiers.
A week after Campbell's resignation, he and others from the Old Guard agreed, in mid-February, to form a separate body which would be diametrically opposed to the Old Guard’s secrecy and what they considered its inaction.
The New Guard was officially formed on 16 March 1931, built on a common ideological system of monarchism, classic liberalism and anti-communism.
During the initial growth of the movement, Campbell was able to attract many ex-soldiers and ex-commanders to the movement, with ex-military making up the majority of the group's membership, including the likes of early aviator Charles Kingsford Smith and North Sydney Mayor Hubert Primrose.
He claimed that, in an 'emergency', it could maintain essential services including Bunnerong power house and the police attested to the Guard's efficiency.
With a peak membership of over 50,000, the Guard rallied in public, broke up 'Communist' meetings, drilled, vilified the Labor Party and demanded the deportation of Communists.
Campbell and his New Guard proceeded to secure connections and weapons so that, in the event of a statewide communist revolt in which the police had become ineffective, he could seize control of essential services and keep them operational.
An attempt to clothe its members in uniforms failed, however, when the Guard could not go through with its order for lack of funds.
Assisted by motorcar, the New Guard developed a strategy where they would regularly disrupt left-wing workers' meetings and New guard members spent much of the summer of 1932 driving around doing so.
On 13 February 1932, 700 New Guardsmen practised military drills in Belmore and a number of journalists who attempted to document the drills were assaulted.
A few days later, 13 members of the New Guard were arrested after violently disrupting a political meeting in Coffs Harbour.
De Groot had stated that he 'felt that, the best reply to force, was greater force' and by May 1932 Campbell had started inciting street brawls, and came close to staging a coup d'etat against the Lang government.
Against this backdrop the state Labor party formed a number of militias including the Workers' Defence Army (WDA), the Labor Defence Corps (LDC) and Lang's supporters had formed the Australian Labor Army (ALA).
Street fights between Lang's Labor Army and fascist paramilitary groups including Sir Thomas Blamey's Victorian-based White Army and the New Guard became increasingly common as the New Guard attempted to discredit the left by starting brawls or other breaches of the peace.
Though the New Guard sought to work as a supplement to the police in the event of a socialist revolution, they were oftentimes opposed under orders from the Lang government.
As an exercise the New Guard attempted to measure the strength of the Sydney police force by organising many small unapproved street meetings across the city in an attempt to stretch their men thin.
According to a contact Campbell had in the NSW Police Force, the police were reporting large street gatherings and were requesting reinforcements from all over the city.
The New Guard declared that Lang would not perform the ceremony, with Campbell calling Lang a 'tyrant and scoundrel' and declaring that Lang would never open the Harbour Bridge.
During the opening ceremony army officer and zone commander Francis de Groot upstaged Jack Lang by slashing the ceremonial ribbon with his sword.
De Groot was supplied with a horse by fellow New Guardsmen Albert Reichard and he rode to the ceremony in his World War I 15th Hussars uniform, managing to slash the ribbon before Lang.
The Mayor of North Sydney, Hubert Primrose, an official participant at the opening ceremony, was also a member of the New Guard.
On 6 May 1932, Trades and Labour Council secretary John (Jock) Garden, an influential member of Lang's inner circle, was assaulted by members a New Guard faction known as the Fascist Legion.
Along with an inner faction of the New Guard’s involvement in orchestrating the bashing of Communist Party of Australia founder Jock Garden, the New Guard began to lose popularity as the organisation’s purpose was perceived as having been fulfilled.
The activities of militant splinter groups emerging from the New Guard, such as the Fascist Legion, also contributed to a rush of resignations which began even before Lang's dismissal.
With their main objective complete – the removal of Lang from office – the New Guard continued to lose members as it drifted into the mid 1930s.
Even de Groot left the organisation in November 1932 to pursue collaboration with the Melbourne-based League of National Security by which the White Army was also known.
Though the New Guard bore resemblance to the militant Blackshirts in Italy, its strong adherence to individualism found it disqualified it from this definition.
Campbell was curious to learn about fascism from the source however, so in 1933 during an overseas business trip, he met with Sir Oswald Mosley and wife Lady Cynthia at their London home to discuss the matter.
His experience was overall positive, and while unimpressed with the members of Mosley’s British Union of Fascists, he was reminded of his own New Guardmen when he attended an Imperial Fascist League meeting.
With Mosley’s recommendations he later progressed to Berlin where, unable to meet Chancellor of Germany Adolf Hitler, he was able to see Foreign Affairs Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, as well as Alfred Rosenberg.
In Rome he was likewise unable to see Mussolini, instead meeting with Secretary Achille Starace, though their mutual unintelligibility and failure to use French as a medium was no use.
While initially satisfied by the prospects of a United Australia Party-led purging of communism and other socialistic and anti-communist dogmas from the continent, Campbell had realised that the central tenets of the New Guard could not be fulfilled due to those politicians’ ineffectiveness in bringing them about.
Due to a lack of time needed to organise the campaign, the party did not contest the September 1934 federal election.
At the May 1935 New South Wales state election, the Centre Party contested five out of the 90 Legislative Assembly districts, all in suburban Sydney, and polled 0.60 percent of the total vote.
In two seats, Hornsby, contested by Fergus Munro, and Lane Cove, contested by Campbell, only the Centre Party and the United Australia Party fielded candidates, with the former polling over 15 percent of the vote in both seats.
In Arncliffe, the only seat that required a preference distribution, the majority (56.78%) of Centre Party preferences flowed to the United Australia candidate, Horace Harper, who was defeated by Labor's Joseph Cahill, a future premier.
Enoch Jones, the candidate for Arncliffe, later served as a City of Rockdale councillor, and contested the seat of Rockdale for the Liberal Democrats at the 1944 state election.
Additionally, Aubrey Murphy, the candidate in Concord, served on two occasions as mayor of the Blue Mountains City Council in the 1950s, and was named an MBE in the 1960 New Year Honours.
With the exception of occasional speaking engagements, Campbell himself largely withdrew from public life following the election, and spent most of the rest of his life in country New South Wales, where he was president of the Burrangong Shire Council in 1949 and 1950 (now part of Young Shire).
Though the New Guard’s ideology began to differ from the Old Guard’s over time, the primary differences between the Guards were more in their pragmatics rather than ideology.
The two groups remained very similar in their values and purposes, their distaste for selfish machine politics, their extremist/socialist targets, and even to some extent in their methods.
One difficulty in assessing the New Guard's impact in comparison to that of the Old Guard is that other separate but similar groups were also active, so that it was not always easy to assign responsibility for particular activities.
In the countryside many groups, including the Riverina Movement, protesting against perceived neglect, saw possible escape from Sydney domination and an opportunity to dissociate themselves from the New South Welshmen that had chosen their fate under Lang.
Behind the scenes a well connected Old Guard exercised considerable influence within such groups, through a network of relationships with traditional country institutions.
At its inception, the administrative structure of the New Guard consisted of an Organising Committee lead by a Chairman with powers to add more committee members by way of a unanimous vote.
This committee would be tasked with the recruitment of members and their separation by localities across the Sydney and regional New South Wales areas.
The area of Greater Sydney would be broken down into four independent Zones: A Zone, consisting of the land north of Sydney Harbour; B Zone, covering the Eastern Suburbs as well as from the coastline down to Maroubra; C Zone, incorporating the Southern Suburbs down to and including the Sutherland Shire; and D Zone, including the Western Suburbs to the west of Parramatta.
As part of Campbell’s practical democratic solution, each Locality would operate as independent units where a few hundred New Guardsmen would select for themselves a Locality Commanders and Administrator to handle affairs, and each Locality would frequently meet at Locality Conventions to discuss and vote on matters.
The Locality Commanders of each Division would select Divisional Commanders, and said Divisional Commanders would meet to pick the Zone Commander for their respective Zone.
Divisional and Zone Commanders would only assume active command positions when more than one of their respective subdivisions were active in a particular objective, therefore making Localities especially independent in the operation of the New Guard.
The executive branch of the New Guard was the General Council, consisting of the leading Chief Commander and four Zone Commanders with equal voting power.
The General Council was only to make decisions regarding major executive matters, and questions regarding routine and defensive emergencies would be directed to the Chief Commander, or Deputy Chief Commander if the former was absent.
During the period of structural preparation the Chief Commander was to not interfere in the movement’s formation, and only assume complete executive involvement once the Locality system was completely established.
To put checks on the General Council’s power, Campbell formed the Council of Action, consisting of the Chief Commander and Divisional Commanders; the Chief Commander would be deprived of a vote.
Intelligence on the New Guard’s political rivals would be collected by the individual Localities and submitted to the Chief of the Intelligence Branch for collation.
As Campbell allowed considerable independence for the Localities and permitted members to associate freely with any political party so long that the New Guard’s central values were upheld, splinter groups such as the Fascist Legion (also known as the Pack of Cards) formed.
Legion members wore Ku Klux Klan-style gowns and hoods at their own internal meetings in order to guarantee anonymity, adopting pseudonyms based on particular playing cards in a standard 52-card deck (excluding queens).
Besides investigating disloyalty and laxity within the New Guard, they purportedly engaged in targeted operations such as the aforementioned attack on Jock Garden.
The activity of splinter groups such as the Fascist Legion contributed to the bleeding of members in the lead-up to Lang’s dismissal by Sir Philip Game.
Standards for New Guard membership had prospective members picked irrespective of class, financial situation or party affiliations, so long as they were of good character.
A member was not kept within the organisation against their will, as they could leave at any time for any reason.
A report conducted by the NSW Police in September 1931 found 87,000 had sought membership and by December of the same year there were 39,000 card-carrying members – with 3,000 residing in the country centres of regional NSW.
For practical reasons, Campbell’s internal estimations of membership count focused on those that the New Guard could rely on in the event of a socialist revolution.
For propaganda reasons, New Guard membership was often publicly exaggerated, as when Campbell foreshadowed a procession of 100,000 men along Macquarie Street to present a petition to Sir Game.
The New South Wales Police Force (NSW Police Force; previously the New South Wales Police Service and New South Wales Police) is the primary law enforcement agency of the state of New South Wales, Australia.
Divided into Police Area Commands (PACs), for metropolitan areas of NSW and Police Districts (PDs), for regional and country areas of NSW, the NSW Police Force consists of more than 500 local police stations and covers an area of 801,600 square kilometres in a state of some eight million people.
Under the Police Regulation Act, 1862, the organisation of the NSW Police Force was formally established in 1862 with the unification of all existing independent police units in the state.
The Royal Commission uncovered hundreds of instances of corruption including: bribery, money laundering, drug trafficking, and falsifying of evidence by police.
The police commissioner, Tony Lauer, resigned as the level of corruption in the service became clear and his own position untenable.
Wide-ranging reforms occurred as a result of the recommendations of the Royal Commission, including the establishment of a permanent Police Integrity Commission.
The New South Wales Police Force has existed in various forms since the foundation of the colony of New South Wales at Sydney in 1788.
In order to protect the infant town against thieves and petty criminals after dark, Governor Arthur Phillip authorised the formation of a nightwatch in August 1789, consisting of eight of the best-behaved convicts.
After his appointment as the new governor of New South Wales, Governor Lachlan Macquarie restructured the police force in January 1811, setting up a basic system of ranks and control and recruiting free men into the force instead of convicts.
After the conflict in 1824 with the Wiradjuri people around Bathurst and Mudgee, British authorities recognised the need for a mounted force to maintain control in frontier areas.
By this stage, the NSW government could not afford the cost of maintaining the Mounted Police along the expanding frontiers of the colony.
The Border Police was funded by a levy placed on the squatters who had brought livestock into the areas beyond the borders of settlement.
In addition to controlling the Aboriginal and bushranger threats, the Border Police were also tasked with resolving land disputes with the squatters.
With the end of convict transportation approaching, the Border Police was dissolved and replaced with another low cost frontier force called the Native Police.
Exploiting intertribal hostility, the duty of this force was mostly to crush any Aboriginal resistance to the spread of British settlement.
As the colony expanded, a more sophisticated form of crime management was called for; this involved unifying all the police units into a single cohesive police force with the centralisation of authority.
38 of 1850, unified control of the police eventuated in 1862 when the Police Regulation Act (1862) was passed, establishing the New South Wales Police Force.
The Police Regulation (Amendment) Act, passed in 1935, changed the official title to commissioner of police, with its role clearly defined.
In 1961, the year before the centenary of the Police Force, the number of members of the force increased to 5717, which rose to a total strength of 15,354 in November 2008.
After the formation of the New South Wales Police Force in 1862, most crimes were conducted by bushrangers, particularly during the Victorian gold rush years.
Constable Byrne almost single-handedly fought off the Ben Hall gang when they attacked a gold escort at Major's Creek on 13 March 1865.
Constable Ernest Charles Day (later the Inspector General of Police) showed courage under fire when he shot and captured bushranger Hobson, who was later hanged.
Day later investigated a string of murders involving a hawker, Tommy Moore, by tracing his activities to South Australia, solving one of Australia's earliest serial-killer cases.
In 1894 a number of unarmed police were seriously injured while attempting to arrest a group of offenders as they attempted to break open a safe in the Union Steamship Company Office in Bridge Street, Sydney.
Within 24 hours the premier announced that all police would wear firearms at all times while on duty to prevent the escape of felons and to place them on an equal footing with armed criminals.
Parliament subsequently passed legislation authorising the arming of all members of the NSW Police Force and all Police have carried firearms ever since.
NSW police officers have been involved in many notable events in the state's history, including APEC Australia 2007, the 1997 Thredbo landslide, Waterfall train disaster, Grafton bus crash, 1989 Newcastle earthquake, Sydney Hilton bombing, the arrest of serial killer Ivan Milat, the 2004 Redfern riots, the 2005 Macquarie Fields riots and the 2005 Cronulla riots.
In 1979, the NSW government of Neville Wran called on Justice Edwin Lusher, a judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales to chair a commission of inquiry into police administration.
In accordance with the Police Service Amendment (NSW Police) Bill in 2002, the New South Wales Police Service was then renamed again to simply New South Wales Police.
The then Minister for Police, Michael Costa, explains: In 2006, the Police Amendment (Miscellaneous) Bill resulted in a name change for the third time, renaming the New South Wales Police to New South Wales Police Force.
In June 1991, the State Protection Group (SPG) was formed, incorporating the former Special Weapons & Operations Section (SWOS), the Witness Security Unit, regional Tactical Response Groups and the Rescue Squad.
After much debate, the NSW Parliament passed the Police Service (Volunteer Police) Amendment Act, 1992, which sought to trial voluntary service within the police force, along the lines of the United Kingdom's special constabularies.
The successor to this scheme was the Volunteers in Policing (VIP) program which restricts volunteer participation to non-core administration and community tasks, without enforcement duties or other powers being granted.
Then Police Commissioner Tony Lauer resigned as the level of corruption within the service became clear, and his own position became untenable.
Wide-ranging reforms occurred as a result of the recommendations of the Royal Commission, including the establishment of a permanent Police Integrity Commission.
The terms of reference were to look into systemic and entrenched corruption within the New South Wales Police; towards the end of the Royal Commission it also investigated alleged paedophile activities within the police service.
Of particular note was the detective division of the Kings Cross patrol, of which almost all the senior ranks, including the chief detective, were involved in serious and organised corrupt activities, including taking regular bribes from major drug traffickers.
In 2003, Strike Force Emblems was established in response to allegations that warrants were improperly obtained during Operation Mascot, an investigation into police corruption in the late 1990s.
Nearly a decade later in October 2012, the New South Wales Government announced that the Ombudsman would investigate allegations concerning the conduct of officers in the NSW Police Force, the Crime Commission and the Police Integrity Commission in relation to the matters investigated in Strike Force Emblems which occurred between 1998 and 2002.
On 2 October 2015, 15-year-old Iraqi-Kurdish boy Farhad Khalil Mohammad Jabar shot dead Curtis Cheng, a 58-year-old accountant who worked for the NSW Police Force, outside their Parramatta headquarters.
As part of a restructure of the state's Crime Command, MEOCS will cease to exist as a separate squad in late 2017.
The current commissioner of the NSW Police Force is Mick Fuller, , who replaced Andrew Scipione, , on 31 March 2017, with Deputy Commissioner Dave Hudson, , Deputy Commissioner Max Mitchell, and Deputy Commissioner Jeff Loy, .
The Minister for Police & Emergency Services, David Elliott, is responsible to the Parliament of New South Wales for the police portfolio.
Scipione extended his term as Commissioner at the request of Premier Mike Baird, and was expected to remain until July 2017.
Corporate Services is headed by the Deputy Commissioner (Corporate Services), who is charged with the management of recruitment and education, firearms, records and information process services, the Security Industry Registry, investment and commercial services, safety, business and technology services, human resources, education services, finance, public affairs and legal services.
Field Operations is headed by Deputy Commissioner (Field Operations), is responsible for managing and overseeing the Central Metropolitan, North West Metropolitan, South West Metropolitan, Northern, Southern and Western regions, and the Firearms Registry, Major Events and Incidents Group, and the State Crime Command.
It is responsible for a range of specialist groups, including Counter Terrorism & Special Tactics (including the State Protection Group, Forensic Services Group, Operational Communications & Information Command, Police Prosecutions Command, Public Affairs and Corporate Communications, Special Services Group, Traffic & Highway Patrol Command and Police Transport Command.
Founded in September 1825 by state governor Thomas Brisbane, the mounted police were recruited from a British military regiment stationed in NSW at the time, to protect travellers, suppress convict escapees and fight Indigenous Australians.
The unit was formed three years before the London Mounted Police and 38 years before the 1873 formation of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The 34 horses used today are bay geldings (with the exception of two mares), 15.3 hands high or more, and include a number of former racehorses.
Following 12 months of satisfactory service and on completion of the associate degree of policing practice via distance education, the probationary constable is confirmed to the rank of constable.
Promotion to the rank of senior constable can be obtained after five years service and requires the officer to pass an examination which can cover a broad area of policing knowledge.
Leading Senior Constable is a rank that primarily sees an officer in a training role and belongs to a specific unit or duty type of which there is a limited number with progression to such being competitive and non-transferable.
If an LSC transfers from a unit or duty type (such as from highway patrol to general duties or vice versa) they revert to their original senior constable rank.
To be eligible for LSC an officer must have a minimum of 7 years service, be of the rank of senior constable and undergo a number of tests and selection processes in competition with other applicants.
Officers who qualify for a promotion list are given an eligibility mark and are ranked according to order of merit from the highest mark to the lowest.
Members seeking placement on a promotion list must have spent the requisite time at the rank below, which is at least two years, and must have successfully completed the relevant pre-qualifying assessment examinations, an applicant evaluation and must meet the eligibility program.
A new promotion list for each rank or grade is prepared each year, and an applicant who does not accept promotion can remain on a list only for three years before having to requalify for the list.
A detective sergeant is normally in charge of a team in a specific part of either a local area command detectives office or a specialist squad in the State Crime Command.
An inspector oversees sergeants and teams of constables and traditionally performs more administrative work, coordination of policing operations or specialist work.
However, while they do not lose their detective's designation if they leave full-time investigation duties, it is customary not to use their designation while performing general or other duties which are not an authorised investigative position.
There has been some consideration given by the police force in recent years to identify designated detectives performing uniform duties by way of a distinctive badge or uniform embellishment, but this has not been adopted.
New South Wales Police Force has two uniforms for general duties police officers, one operational (field dress) and one ceremonial (service dress).
Field dress consists of navy blue cargo pants with map pockets, ballooned at the bottom, light blue marle short or long sleeve shirt, navy blue baseball cap with blue and white Sillitoe Tartan, and black general purpose boots.
Service dress consists of general purpose boots, straight leg navy blue trousers, blue marle shirt, antron cap/hat and leather duty jacket.
Depending on rank, members may be issued with high-shine polishable lace-up leather boots for ceremonial occasions, similar to that worn by military personnel.
Officers wear a similar uniform when attending court proceedings, this is usually the full service dress both during summer and winter.
During ceremonial occasions, NSW Police Force College staff, New South Wales Police Force protocol and NSW Police Force field protocol officers generally wear a navy blue ceremonial tunic during official occasions such as attestation parades (passing out parades), medal ceremonies and funerals, etc.
Field protocol officers are issued with a light blue/navy blue lanyard to be worn over the right shoulder and tucked into the right pocket during ceremonial occasions.
Full-time protocol officers and members of the VIP cyclists are entitled to wear a black basketweave Sam Browne belt during ceremonial occasions.
New South Wales Police Force officers are also entitled to wear mess dress with mess kit for black tie or formal dinners/dances.
The dark navy blue trousers and mess jacket with cobalt blue cuffs, epaulettes (with ranks) and lapels clearly identify them as being members of the police.
Specialist units such as the Public Order and Riot Squad, Homicide Squad, Marine Area Command and the State Protection Group Tactical Operations Unit all have different uniform needs and are outfitted accordingly such as Rescue and Bomb Disposal Unit with their white overalls, Tactical Operations Unit (TOU) with black and Dog Squad with subdued blue.
During ANZAC day marches and United Nations Day marches in Sydney, police officers can be seen alongside their Australian Federal Police counterparts wearing the distinctive United Nations blue beret and full sized medals, if they have served with the Australian Federal Police in United Nations sanctioned peacekeeping operations.
After the work of Task Force ALPHA 1992 and the research testing and report done by senior constable Darren Stewart recommending the introduction of the Glock 22 superseding the Smith & Wesson .38 calbre model 10 with some specialist sections and plain clothes officers having either the smaller Glock 23 or Glock 27 models available in lieu of the standard model.
Members are also issued with a spare magazine for their pistol due to the murder of two officers at Crescent Head in 1995 when officers carried the Smith & Wesson Model 10 in .38 Special.
Specialist tactical units such as the full-time Tactical Operations Unit (and part-time regional State Protection Support Units) are equipped with a variety of specialised firearms for their duties.
The Public Order and Riot Squad are issued with a variety of specialist equipment for their roles including Colt M4 Carbine rifles.
In addition to the standard issue firearm, officers are issued with Saflock (mark IV & V) handcuffs, OC (capsicum spray), expandable baton, Motorola XTS3000/XTS5000/XTS2500 (Digital UHF) or Tait Orca (VHF) portable radio, and a first-aid kit.
Specialist tactical officers from elite units such as the State Protection Group and riot officers from the Public Order and Riot Squad have access to a variety of specialised weapons and equipment.
The NSW Police Force has issued TASER electronic control devices (ECDs) which generally are carried by one officer on every first response general duties vehicle.
Each TASER X26 issued to police includes an integrated camera to record all deployments of the device as well as any additional video while the device's safety is switched off.
In recent times, there has been a large movement within the police to implement changes in methods of equipment carry to relieve officers with back injuries.
As of 2010, the load-bearing vest has become increasingly prevalent amongst general duty officers and it is anticipated that this trend will continue.
It is believed that the vests are effective in relieving officers of chronic back pain, as it takes most of the weight away from the waist and back area, and distributes it across the frontal area of the officer's torso.
In 2017, a new load-bearing vest was introduced the Integrated Light Armour Vest (ILAV) that is level 2 ballistic rated and level 2 stab resistance rated which can be worn without armour and has the option of a hydration pack and a backpack.
Highway Patrol vehicles usually consist of a combination of marked and unmarked Holden Commodores SS's, Ford Falcon XR6's, BMW 530d's and Chrysler 300c SRT's, along with Volvo XC60s and Toyota Landcruisers in smaller numbers to conduct road policing in rural and alpine areas.
Other specialist sections and units use a variety of police vehicles including Iveco prisoner vans, Mercedes Sprinter vans, Isuzu trucks, specialist rescue and bomb disposal vehicles, two Lenco BearCat armoured trucks and various Suzuki Jimmy Beach Buggies.
With the domestic Australian production of the Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore ending in 2016/17, the Traffic and Highway Patrol Command sought for replacement vehicles that could meet the pursuit performance criteria.
Consequently, the Chrysler 300 SRT Core and BMW 530d were chosen to comprise most of the future Traffic and Highway Patrol fleet.
It provides services as: search and rescue, support for crime investigation, counter-terrorism, and helps with prevention and detection by keeping a visible presence patrolling the skies.
The aircraft are equipped with modern technology and specialist equipment including rescue winches, Nite sun searchlights (30 million candle power), forward-looking infra red (FLIR), high definition video camera system, microwave down-linking of live pictures, digital radio communications and advanced integrated touch screen digital glass cockpits with global positioning satellite (GPS) navigation systems.
The fixed wing Cessna 206H aircraft, callsign Polair 6, is primarily used for aerial speed enforcement along major freeways and highways in the State.
The much larger Cessna 208 Grand Caravan, callsign Polair 7, provides the police with a long-range heavy lift capability allowing for the transport of cargo, specialist equipment and personnel during extensive search and rescue incidents which is ideal for use in remote locations across the state.
Various other fixed-wing aircraft such as a leased Cessna 500 have been used for major operations including the APEC Australia 2007 security operation.
The Marine Area Command, formerly the Water Police, has responsibility for all coastal areas of NSW, and up to out to sea.
Police vessels and personnel are strategically located at important commercial and leisure ports with the base at Balmain on Sydney Harbour.
It has 123 operational water police, marine intelligence unit, marine crime prevention officer, divers, detectives and the marine operational support team, and employs six civilian engineers and 30 deck hands.
The new rigid-hulled inflatable boat have two 250 hp four-stroke outboard motors, with a speed of and a range of at , and are fitted with the latest navigation and communication equipment.
The New South Wales Police Academy (formerly known as the New South Wales Police College) occupies some 10 hectares at McDermott Drive in the regional town of Goulburn, southwest of Sydney.
Students are identified by a light blue hat band and light blue epaulettes with the word STUDENT (in block capitals, as here) as opposed to rank.
Examples are: the three-year Bachelor of Policing course (offered by the University of Western Sydney, or the Bachelor of Justice Studies (Policing) course of the same length offered also by Charles Sturt University (Bathurst Campus).
Both of these courses require the final portion to be completed at the Goulburn Police College, alongside common-entry recruits, for the practical components of policing education.
On 29 September 2006, Governor of New South Wales Marie Bashir presented the NSW Police Banner to the New South Wales Police Force at a ceremony adjacent to the NSW Police Force Roll of Honour at the Domain in Sydney, Australia.
Later that day, the banner led the NSW Police Force marching contingent at the dedication of the National Police Memorial in Canberra.
The commissioner and the VIP cyclists have a nemesis logo on a light blue over white bicolour pennant on their transportation.
Recognition for the bravery and sacrifice of members of the New South Wales Police Force is expressed through honours and awards.
The New South Wales Police Force was the first Australian Police jurisdiction to have one of its members awarded the Imperial Honour, namely the George Cross and the Australian Honour the Cross of Valour.
New South Wales Police Force also has the distinction in having one of its members being awarded the highest civilian bravery award, namely the Cross of Valour.
In its history, only five people have been awarded that award, with a New South Wales Police Officer being the first Australian Police Officer to receive it.
On 3 May 1996, the then Detective Senior Constable Sparkes rescued a boy trapped in a flooded underground storm water drain following record rainfalls at Coffs Harbour.
New South Wales Police Force also has a number of inservice Honours and Awards, awarded by the Commissioner of New South Wales Police Force.
Commissioner Peter Ryan QPM implemented the New South Wales Police Force Commissioner's Olympic Commendation and the New South Wales Police Force Olympic Citation.
This award is significant as the New South Wales Police Force is the only police force in the world to be permitted the Olympic Rings to be attached.
Police honours and awards are highly prized partly because they are only awarded to members in small numbers and are rarely issued to general duties police.
The only award that was given out in large numbers was the Commissioner's Olympic Citation due to the massive contribution by all members of the force.
In addition, under the Australian system of honours and awards, police officers serving with peacekeeping organisations are awarded the Police Overseas Service Medal with the relevant clasp for the prescribed area of service.
The UN Civilian Police (now known as UNPOL or United Nations Police) was established with a three-month mandate to end hostilities between the Greek and Turkish communities and promote peace on the island.
Members were subsequently withdrawn from Cyprus in 1976, along with all other state and territory police following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus on 20 July 1974.
During the invasion and preceding it the Australian police were subject to machine gun and mortar fire and Turkish air attack.
Australian police continued to negotiate between the invading Turkish army, other warring parties and escorted refugees to safety from both sides.
From 2000 to 2005, 45 NSW Police Force officers were involved in the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET) and the United Nations Mission of Support in East Timor (UNMISET) seconded to the Australian Federal Police for their Tour of Duty in East Timor with the United Nations.
In addition, two New South Wales Police Force officers have been commended for courage for peacekeeping in East Timor, one by the Australian government, and the Australian Federal Police Commissioners Commendation for Bravery (station sergeant David McCann OAM – UNMISET and one by the commissioner (senior sergeant Mark Aubrey Gilpin – UNTAET).
McCann was awarded the Commendation for Brave Conduct for his part in the rescue of 110 vulnerable persons from a village in East Timor after it suffered major flooding.
Gilpin was awarded the New South Wales Police Commendation (courage) for his part in protecting a member of the community who was being subjected to mob justice.
He placed his body in front of the mob, who were armed with machettes and other weapons and managed to extract the victim to safety.
Out of the ten Australian peacekeepers who have died on peacekeeping missions, two were from NSW Police Force while serving with UNFICYP.
Sir John Lockhart-Ross, 6th Baronet (11 November 1721 – 9 June 1790), known as John Lockhart from 1721 to 1760, was an officer of the Royal Navy who saw service during the War of the Austrian Succession, Seven Years' War, and the American War of Independence, and served for a time as a Member of Parliament.
He served on a number of ships during the War of the Austrian Succession, seeing action at both the First and Second Battles of Cape Finisterre, having by then risen to the rank of lieutenant.
He had his own commands by the outbreak of the Seven Years' War, and enjoyed particular success as a frigate captain, cruising against privateers while in command of .
Taking the additional name Ross after he inherited a deceased relative's estates, he served as a member of parliament and undertook land reforms and improvements during the years of peace before the outbreak of the American War of Independence.
Lockhart-Ross returned to sea on the outbreak of war, commanding a ship at the Battle of Ushant, and later being promoted to flag rank.
He served in several actions as a junior commander of Rodney's fleet, including the capture of the Caracas convoy, the Battle of Cape St. Vincent and the relief of Gibraltar.
He transferred to the 50-gun under Captain Charles Knowles in the West Indies between 1737 and 1738, and went on to serve aboard the 54-gun under Captain Henry Medley in 1739, and the 14-gun sloop under Captain Frogmere in 1740.
He passed his lieutenant's examination on 28 September 1743, and received his commission with a posting on 21 October that year to the 44-gun in the North Sea, and afterwards on the coast of North America.
While serving on the North American station he was moved into the 50-gun and returned to England with her in late 1746.
He was then appointed to his first command, that of the fireship , in which he saw action with Sir Edward Hawke's fleet at the Second Battle of Cape Finisterre on 16 October 1747.
During 1748 Lockhart was first lieutenant of the Portsmouth guardship , and for the next few years was on half pay in Scotland.
In January 1755 he was appointed first lieutenant of the 90-gun with Captain Charles Saunders, and on 22 April 1755 he was promoted to command the 8-gun sloop , attached during the year to the western squadron cruising under the command of Sir Edward Hawke or Vice-Admiral John Byng.
He was also presented by the merchants of London and of Bristol with pieces of plate ‘for his signal service in supporting the trade;’ and by the corporation of Plymouth with the freedom of the borough in a gold box.
She spent the summer under Rear-Admiral George Brydges Rodney, taking part in the Raid on Le Havre before rejoining Hawke in October, and then being sent to join a squadron under Commodore Robert Duff, to watch the French in Quiberon Bay.
The squadron observed the French fleet sail out, and were chased by them as they rushed to report the news to Hawke.
Four days later Hawke appointed Lockhart to command in the place of Captain John Campbell, who was sent home with the despatches.
With the death of his brother James in September 1760 Lockhart succeeded to the Ross estate of Balnagown, the entail of which obliged him to take the name of Ross; this he formally did in the following spring, announcing the change to the admiralty on 31 March 1761.
In the previous June he had been elected member of parliament for Lanark Burghs, but it does not appear that he took any active interest in parliamentary business.
He devoted himself principally to the improvement of his estates and the condition of the peasantry, and became known as ‘the best farmer and the greatest planter in the country; his wheat and turnips showed the one, his plantation of a million of pines the other’.
He was MP for Lanark Burghs from 1761 to 1768 and in 1762, he initiated land tenure reform which would later evolve into the Highland Clearances.
In 1777, when war with France appeared imminent, Ross returned to active service, and was appointed to the 74-gun , joining the fleet under Admiral Augustus Keppel in the Battle of Ushant on 27 July 1778.
Continuing in the Channel Fleet, Ross was with Rodney at the capture of the Caracas convoy, the Battle of Cape St. Vincent and the relief of Gibraltar in January 1780; with George Darby at the relief of Gibraltar in April 1781; and with Lord Howe during the early summer of 1782.
Among them was his eldest son, Charles Lockhart-Ross, an army officer who inherited the baronetcy on his father's death, and George Ross, father of distinguished legal writer George Ross.
The Boeing X-45 unmanned combat air vehicle is a concept demonstrator for a next generation of completely autonomous military aircraft, developed by Boeing's Phantom Works.
It has no vertical control surfaces — split ailerons near each wingtip function as asymmetric air brakes, providing rudder control, much as in Northrop's flying wings.
The first generation of unmanned combat air vehicles are primarily planned for air-to-ground roles with defensive air-to-air capabilities coupled with significant remote piloting.
On April 18, 2004, the X-45A's first bombing run test at Edwards Air Force Base was successful; it hit a ground target with a 250-pound inert precision-guided munition.
On February 4, 2005, on their 50th flight, the two X-45As took off into a patrol pattern and were then alerted to the presence of a target.
The X-45As then autonomously determined which vehicle held the optimum position, weapons (notional), and fuel load to properly attack the target.
After making that decision, one of the X-45As changed course and the ground-based pilot authorized the consent to attack the simulated antiaircraft emplacement.
This demonstrated the ability of these vehicles to work autonomously as a team and manage their resources, as well as to engage previously-undetected targets, which is significantly harder than following a predetermined attack path.
After the completion of the flight test program, both X-45As were sent to museums, one to the National Air and Space Museum, and the other to the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where it was inducted on November 13, 2006.
The larger X-45B design was modified to have even more fuel capacity and three times greater combat range, becoming the X-45C.
Each wing's leading edge spans from the nose to the wingtip, giving the aircraft more wing area, and a planform very similar to the B-2 Spirits'.
The first of the three planned X-45C aircraft was originally scheduled to be completed in 2006, with capability demonstrations scheduled for early 2007.
The X-45C portion of the program received $767 million from DARPA in October 2004, to construct and test three aircraft, along with several supplemental goals.
In July 2005, DARPA awarded an additional $175 million to continue the program, as well as implement autonomous Aerial refueling technology.
When it became known that the US Air Force would end funding to the Joint Unmanned Combat Air System program (which included the X-45 and X-47), the US Navy started its own UCAS program.
The software Boeing developed to allow the X-45N to land and takeoff autonomously on aircraft carriers has recently been installed on the first F/A-18F, which has used it to perform autonomous approaches.
This Super Hornet is expected to be able to hook the carrier's arrester cables autonomously by the 2009 timeframe, setting the stage for carrier-borne UAV operations.
The internally funded program, called Phantom Ray, uses the X-45C prototype vehicle that Boeing originally developed for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)/U.S.
It was published by Enix in Japan before Nintendo localized the game and released English, German, French and Spanish versions in Europe and Australia.
The game keeps a top-down perspective view of the world and utilizes an action-based real-time battle system that allows the player to perform different techniques depending on whether the protagonist is running, jumping, attacking, or using a combination of these three actions.
Each attack is meant for dealing more damage to certain kinds of enemies, though in most cases there is little to no difference regardless of the technique used.
The player must collect Magirocks and take them to a magic shop to have them transformed into magic rings and summon medals.
Those items are used up when casting the corresponding spell and then turn back to Magirocks which may be exchanged for new spells again.
Since the beginning of the Earth, the external Lightside, the surface world, stood for growth whereas the internal Darkside, the under world, represented decline.
Technology and industry further expanded civilization, but the fight between God and the Devil was still taking place, more fiercely than ever.
After opening a forbidden door and touching a mysterious box containing a friendly demon named Yomi, every citizen in the village is frozen.
The only person not affected by the curse, the Elder, guides him to resurrect the continents of the surface world in order to unfreeze the people.
A way out of his hometown appears, and for the first time ever, a human being leaves Crysta to explore the under world, which is portrayed as a frozen wasteland of imposing crystal mountains, crossed by rivers of magma.
Upon returning to his hometown, the Elder instructs him to travel to the surface world and to resurrect all living beings.
He continues his journey, traveling and expanding cities, assisting with the invention of groundbreaking technologies, and also—much to his surprise—encountering a Lightside twin of Elle, who lives as the adopted daughter of a French king but was rendered mute by a traumatic event in her childhood.
Ark manages to break this condition, and although Princess Elle at first stays away from Ark, she begins to grow close to him.
In continuing to follow the Elder's commands, Ark ultimately awakes the ingenious Beruga, a scientist who survived the destruction of the previous world by hiding himself in a cryogenic sleep.
Beruga provides Ark with an insight into his personal image of paradise: A perfect world where all insignificant life is killed with a virus named Asmodeus and everyone else is made immortal by turning them into zombies.
Just as he is about to die, Kumari, a wise human who watched the world's growth through reincarnation, teleports Ark out of Beruga's laboratory.
He then instructs him to go search the five Starstones and to lay them at the grave at Time's End in order to call the Golden Child.
Ark obtains the stones one after another and sets them into skull statues at Dryvale, the location at the South Pole where the final confrontation between God and the Devil once took place.
When she realizes this threat is actually Ark, she allows him to awaken as the legendary hero and grow back into an adult in the process.
In the end, Ark realizes that as a creation of Dark Gaia, he, along with the village of Crysta and the underworld, shall now vanish with the Devil's demise, though it is implied he and his loved ones in Crysta will be reincarnated.
He goes to sleep, after being told by Light Gaia that he, as creator and defender, is what the humans would call a god.
Ark's last dream pictures him as a bird flying above the world that he helped to exist, watching it grow older.
Publisher Enix commissioned the developers as a subcontractor and decided for the title to be an action role-playing game for strategic reasons, based on Quintet's experience in that particular genre and the good reception of their earlier games by Japanese players.
The script was written by director and designer Tomoyoshi Miyazaki, the founder of Quintet, with the scenario provided by Reiko Takebayashi.
The English scripts of the game used in the European and Australian releases by Nintendo were translated by Colin Palmer, Dan Owsen and Hiro Nakamura.
Except for the guide book, none of these materials have been released outside Japan, though in Germany, Club Nintendo published a 32-page comic illustrating scenes from the game up to the events of the third chapter.
praised the varied soundtrack, ease of play, and recommended the game should be bought during the Christmas season for any fans of the genre.
The Pretender is an American action drama television series created by Steven Long Mitchell and Craig W. Van Sickle, that aired on NBC from September 19, 1996 to May 13, 2000.
doctor, lawyer, soldier) in his quest to uncover his origins, deliver justice to criminal wrongdoers who evade the law, and stay one step ahead of The Centre, the sinister think tank that kidnapped Jarod as a child to exploit his Pretender abilities.
According to show creators Steven Long Mitchell and Craig Van Sickle, the character of Jarod was inspired by serial impostor Ferdinand Waldo Demara.
In 2013, creators Steven Long Mitchell and Craig W. Van Sickle began updating the story with a series of books and graphic novels.
Jarod (Michael T. Weiss) is a child prodigy who is abducted at a young age and raised in a think tank called the Centre, based in the fictional town of Blue Cove, Delaware.
Told that his parents have died, Jarod is assigned to the care of a man named Sydney (Patrick Bauchau), a psychiatrist working for the Centre.
During Jarod's youth, Sydney mentors the boy and regularly coaches him through complex simulations designed to exploit his intellect for real life application.
But as an adult, Jarod discovers that the Centre is using data gathered from his responses for nefarious purposes, such as illegal black ops and engineering the deaths of others.
Soon afterward, he discovers that the people whom he had long believed to be his parents actually were not, as Jarod has an anomaly in his blood that a father or mother would share—which neither of his supposed parents do.
Fearing for Jarod's safety, Sydney at times undermines Miss Parker and will directly prevent her from using lethal methods to prevent Jarod's continued evasion of his pursuers.
While tracking down clues to his past and his parents, Jarod also targets criminals who have gone unpunished or undetected by the law.
During his adventures, Jarod also discovers the joys of the childhood he was denied while being raised in isolation, such as ice cream, a Slinky, and Silly Putty.
Sydney's loyalty to the Centre wavers when it concerns Jarod's safety and this rift increases when he discovers truths about what the organization did to his twin brother Jacob.
This puts her in a parallel to Jarod's quest of discovery and at times her loyalty wavers, though it never falters.
When she and Jarod do share a romantic moment, Jarod questions if this will change things and Miss Parker replies it will not.
The creators of the show, Steven Mitchell and Craig van Sickle stated in an interview on the French DVD of the telemovies that an ending was written for the series; they just needed financing to create it.
On May 21, 2008, van Sickle again expressed interest in having a final episode or film to finish the series, and asked fans to continue to be patient until it happens.
On July 8, 2013, it was announced through The Pretender Creators Facebook page that The Pretender will be reborn and that on July 19 at 2 P.M. PDT will be the official announcement to the fans worldwide on details of the first exciting way The Pretender will be reborn.
In medicine, a Holter monitor (often simply Holter) is a type of ambulatory electrocardiography device, a portable device for cardiac monitoring (the monitoring of the electrical activity of the cardiovascular system) for at least 24 to 48 hours (often for two weeks at a time).
Its extended recording period is sometimes useful for observing occasional cardiac arrhythmias which would be difficult to identify in a shorter period.
For patients having more transient symptoms, a cardiac event monitor which can be worn for a month or more can be used.
The Holter monitor was developed at the Holter Research Laboratory in Helena Montana by experimental physicists Norman J. Holter and Bill Glasscock, who started work on radio telemetry in 1949.
Inspired by a suggestion from cardiologist Paul Dudley White in the early 1950s, they redirected their efforts toward development of a wearable cardiac monitoring device.
When used to study the heart, much like standard electrocardiography, the Holter monitor records electrical signals from the heart via a series of electrodes attached to the chest.
These electrodes are connected to a small piece of equipment that is attached to the patient's belt or hung around the neck, keeping a log of the heart's electrical activity throughout the recording period.
A 12 lead Holter system is also available when precise ECG signal information is required to analyse the exact nature and origin of the rhythm signal.
Older devices used reel-to-reel tapes or a standard C90 or C120 audio cassette and ran at a 1.7 mm/s or 2 mm/s speed to record the data.
Once a recording was made, it could be played back and analyzed at 60x speed so 24 hours of recording could be analyzed in 24 minutes.
The data is uploaded into a computer which then automatically analyzes the input, counting ECG complexes, calculating summary statistics such as average heart rate, minimum and maximum heart rate, and finding candidate areas in the recording worthy of further study by the technician.
Each Holter system consists of two basic parts – the hardware (called monitor or recorder) for recording the signal, and software for review and analysis of the record.
; a special mark will be then placed into the record so that the doctors or technicians can quickly pinpoint these areas when analyzing the signal.
The average dimensions of today's Holter monitors are about 110x70x30 mm but some are only 61x46x20 mm and weigh 99 g. Most of the devices operate with two AA batteries.
Most of the Holters monitor the ECG via only two or three channels (Note: depending on manufacturer, different counts of leads and lead systems are used).
Although two/three channel recording has been used for a long time in the Holter monitoring history, as mentioned above, 12 channel Holters have recently appeared.
Another innovation is the inclusion of a triaxial movement sensor, which records the patient's physical activity, and on examination and software processing, extracts three movement statuses: sleeping, standing up, or walking.
Some modern devices also have the ability to record a vocal patient diary entry that can be later listened to by the doctor.
When the recording of ECG signal is finished (usually after 24 or 48 hours), it is up to the physician to perform the signal analysis.
Since it would be extremely time demanding to browse through such a long signal, there is an integrated automatic analysis process in the software of each Holter device which automatically determines different sorts of heart beats, rhythms, etc.
Besides the attachment and quality of electrodes, there are other factors affecting the signal quality, such as muscle tremors, sampling rate and resolution of the digitized signal (high quality devices offer higher sampling frequency).
The automatic analysis commonly provides the physician with information about heart beat morphology, beat interval measurement, heart rate variability, rhythm overview and patient diary (moments when the patient pressed the patient button).
Advances resulted in these devices becoming smaller but were still being used only in hospitals for twenty four to forty eight hours.
Although some patients may feel uncomfortable about a Holter examination, the only hazards are potential minor skin abrasions to optimize signal quality, and it should have little effect on one's normal daily life.
The device may be visible under light clothing, and those wearing a Holter monitor may wish to avoid shirts with a low neckline.
Persons being monitored should not limit normal daily activities, since its purpose is to record how a heart works under various actual conditions over an extended period.
Monitors can be removed for a few minutes without invalidating collected data, but proper reattachment is critical to avoid degradation of its signals.
His name is most often associated with the Poynting–Robertson effect, the process by which solar radiation causes a dust mote orbiting a star to lose angular momentum, which he also described in terms of general relativity.
During World War II, Robertson served with the National Defense Research Committee (NDRC) and the Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD).
He served as Technical Consultant to the Secretary of War, the OSRD Liaison Officer in London, and the Chief of the Scientific Intelligence Advisory Section at Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force.
After the war Robertson was director of the Weapons Systems Evaluation Group in the Office of the Secretary of Defense from 1950 to 1952, chairman of the Robertson Panel on UFOs in 1953 and Scientific Advisor to the NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) in 1954 and 1955.
He was Chairman of the Defense Science Board from 1956 to 1961, and a member of the President's Science Advisory Committee (PSAC) from 1957 to 1961.
Howard Percy Robertson, was born in Hoquiam, Washington, on January 27, 1903, the oldest of five children of George Duncan Robertson, an engineer who built bridges in Washington state, and Anna McLeod, a nurse.
He entered the University of Washington in Seattle in 1918, initially with the intention of studying engineering, but he later switched to mathematics.
He earned a bachelor of science degree in mathematics in 1922 and a master of science in mathematics and physics in 1923.
They had two children: George Duncan, who became a surgeon, and Marietta, who later married California Institute of Technology (Caltech) historian Peter W. Fay.
Upon receipt of his doctorate, Robertson received a National Research Council Fellowship to study at the University of Göttingen in Germany, where he met David Hilbert, Richard Courant, Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, Karl and Martin Schwarzschild, John von Neumann and Eugene Wigner.
In 1928, he accepted a position as an assistant professor of mathematical physics at Princeton University, where he became an associate professor in 1931, and a professor in 1938.
His interest in general relativity and differential geometry led to a series of papers in the 1920s that developed the subject.
Robertson went on to apply the theory of continuous groups in Riemann spaces to find all the solutions that describe the cosmological spaces.
This was extended by Arthur Geoffrey Walker in 1936, and is today widely known in the United States as the Robertson–Walker metric.
Earlier work, such as the Schwarzschild metric, were for a central body that did not move, while Robertson's solution considered two bodies orbiting each other.
Yet Robertson's name is most often associated with the Poynting–Robertson effect, the process by which solar radiation causes a dust mote orbiting a star to lose angular momentum.
Robertson developed the theory of invariants of tensors to derive the Kármán–Howarth equation in 1940, which was later used by George Batchelor and Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar in the theory of axisymmetric turbulence to derive Batchelor–Chandrasekhar equation.
Aside from his work in physics, Robertson played a central role in American scientific intelligence during and after World War II.
He was approached by Richard Tolman shortly after World War II began in 1939, and began working for the Committee for Passive Protection Against Bombing.
This was absorbed with other groups into Division 2 of the National Defense Research Committee (NDRC), with Robertson engaged in the study of terminal ballistics.
He became close friends with Reginald Victor Jones, and Solly Zuckerman praised the work Robertson and Jones did on scrambling radar beams and beacons.
In 1944 Robertson also became a Technical Consultant to the Secretary of War, and the Chief of the Scientific Intelligence Advisory Section at Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force.
He was a Central Intelligence Agency classified employee and director of the Weapons System Evaluation Group in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Weapons System Evaluation Group in the Office of the Secretary of Defense from 1950 to 1952, and Scientific Advisor in 1954 and 1955 to the NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), General Alfred M. Gruenther.
He was Chairman of the Defense Science Board from 1956 to 1961, and a member of the President's Science Advisory Committee (PSAC) from 1957 to 1961.
He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences, serving as its foreign secretary from 1958 until his death in 1961, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Mathematical Society, the American Physical Society, the American Astronomical Society, the American Philosophical Society, the Operational Research Society, and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
The Great Boston Fire of 1872 was Boston's largest fire, and still ranks as one of the most costly fire-related property losses in American history.
The conflagration began at 7:20 p.m. on November 9, 1872, in the basement of a commercial warehouse at 83–87 Summer Street.
The fire was finally contained 12 hours later, after it had consumed about of Boston's downtown, 776 buildings and much of the financial district, and caused $73.5 million in damage (equivalent to $ billion in ).
Many of the buildings were too tall for fire ladders to reach the upper levels, and the pressure from the fire hoses was often insufficient to extinguish flames on the roofs of the buildings.
If the lever inside of the alarm box was pulled, the fire department was notified, and the alarm could be traced back to the box via a coordinate system so that firefighters were dispatched to the correct location.
All of the fire alarm boxes were kept locked from the system's installation in 1852 until after the Great Fire of 1872 to prevent false alarms.
A few citizens in each area of Boston were given a key to the boxes, and all other citizens had to report fires to the key-holders who could then alert the fire department.
In 1872, witnesses watched the fire spread before the key-holder of the area was located and able to unlock the alarm box to alert the Boston Fire Department.
John Damrell, Boston Fire Department's chief engineer at the time, had told Boston officials that the existing water infrastructure was inadequate.
The lack of pressure was so severe that the pipes could not produce enough force to reach the top floors and roofs of newer buildings.
Additionally, the fire hydrant couplings were not standardized within Boston making it more difficult for firefighters to connect their hoses and related equipment.
At the time of the 1872 fire in early November, the northeast United States was experiencing an epizootic flu that affected and weakened the horses.
When Damrell heard of the horse sickness he preemptively hired an additional 500 men to replace the horsepower that would typically haul the engines and other equipment to the sites of fires.
After the fire, the city commission in charge of investigating the fire concluded that the response time of the fire department was only delayed by a few minutes in the absence of the horses.
Damrell, along with fire chiefs from various large cities, traveled to Chicago after the fire in an attempt to learn from the city’s mistakes.
Like Boston, Chicago buildings were made primarily of wood and building codes were not enforced, making the densely developed neighborhoods susceptible to fire.
General Phil Sheridan, in charge of military relief in Chicago post-fire, did not condemn the city's use of gunpowder to blow up buildings to create firebreaks.
However, many fire chiefs from Southern cities were firmly opposed to gunpowder-created firebreaks after having seen the destruction they caused in the Civil War.
Experts have deduced that the fire began in the basement of a warehouse on the corner Kingston Street and Summer Street, at approximately 83-85 Summer Street.
From the basement, the flames spread to the wooden elevator shaft in the center of the building and moved up the floors, fueled by the flammable fabrics in storage.
Finally, the building’s wooden mansard roof caught on fire and the flames were able to spread from rooftop to rooftop down the street.
Telegraphs were sent to surrounding towns requesting help, but the messages were delayed due to most telegraph offices already having closed for the night.
One was the first Amoskeag ever constructed (serial number 1), owned by the Manchester Fire Department; the other was the first self-propelled Amoskeag that the manufacturer sent down.
During the fire, the narrow streets of Boston were packed with firefighters and their equipment as well as crowds of people.
As building owners raced to retrieve valuables from their burning properties, looters ran in after them to collect whatever was left behind.
As the fire spread, citizens asked Mayor William Gaston to authorize the use of gunpowder to blow up buildings in the path of the fire to create a firebreak.
Along Washington Street, wet blankets and rugs were said to have been used to cover buildings to prevent the fire from spreading to the Old South Meeting House, the church in which the Boston Tea Party was planned.
The efforts to save this historic landmark finally halted the fire at the corner of Washington and Milk Streets, around midday on November 10.
The forced reconstruction of the financial district brought about widespread, simultaneous building upgrades and updates, and many properties were rebuilt to suit the commercial nature of the district.
In 1873, he founded the National Association of Fire Engineers (NAFE, now called the International Association of Fire Chiefs, IAFC) and became the organization's first president.
At the 20th Annual Convention of NAFE in 1892, Damrell is credited for Boston's formally established limits of building height and area.
In 1891, The National Association of Commissioners and Inspectors of Public Buildings (NACIPB) was established by Damrell, and he served as the first president.
At the corner of Kingston and Summer Streets, a plaque was installed by The Bostonian Society to mark the start of the fire.
The Tupolev Tu-85 (; USAF/DoD reporting name 'Type 31', NATO reporting name Barge) was a Soviet prototype strategic bomber based on the Tu-4, an unlicensed reverse engineered copy of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress.
It was the ultimate development of the B-29 family, being over 50% heavier than its ancestor and had nearly double the range.
Only two prototypes were built before the program was cancelled in favor of the Tupolev Tu-95 bomber which was much faster and had the same range.
Neither the Tu-4 nor the Tupolev Tu-80 were true intercontinental strategic bombers as they both lacked the range to attack the United States from bases in the Soviet Union and return.
The Tu-85 was designed to achieve the necessary range by use of more powerful and fuel-efficient engines, a redesigned wing to increase the lift/drag ratio and the addition of more fuel.
Much of the armament and equipment was derived from those of the late-model Tu-4, including the four remotely-controlled dorsal and ventral turrets and the tail turret, each with two Nudelman-Rikhter NR-23 cannon.
But the Tu-85's tail turret had Argon ranging radar and each of the two bomb bays was enlarged to hold a FAB-9000 bomb.
Actual design work began in August 1948 and was ratified by a directive from the Council of Ministers dated 16 September that required the first prototype to be ready for manufacturer's tests in December 1950.
On 12 September the first prototype flew with a bombload of , landing with enough fuel remaining to have covered .
The second prototype, sometimes referred to as the 85D () or 85/2, incorporated the lessons learned from the first aircraft, including revision and reinforcement of the airframe and a variety of changes to its equipment and systems.
Series production was approved on 23 March 1951 at three factories where it would succeed the Tu-4 on the production line, but this was reversed later in the year and the program was cancelled: during the Korean War Soviet MiG-15s brought down many US B-29 bombers, showing that there was no future for piston aircraft in combat use.
Priority was given to the higher-performance turboprop Tu-95 'Bear', as its own turboprop powerplants, the TV-12 prototype series for the Kuznetsov NK-12 turboprops that power the Tu-95 to this day, were already generating 12,000 shp as early as 1951.
The Gell-Mann matrices, developed by Murray Gell-Mann, are a set of eight linearly independent 3×3 traceless Hermitian matrices used in the study of the strong interaction in particle physics.
These matrices are traceless, Hermitian (so they can generate unitary matrix group elements through exponentiation), and obey the extra trace orthonormality relation.
These properties were chosen by Gell-Mann because they then naturally generalize the Pauli matrices for SU(2) to SU(3), which formed the basis for Gell-Mann's quark model.
In this three-dimensional matrix representation, the Cartan subalgebra is the set of linear combinations (with real coefficients) of the two matrices formula_4 and formula_5, which commute with each other.
The structure constants formula_13 are completely antisymmetric in the three indices, generalizing the antisymmetry of the Levi-Civita symbol formula_14 of .
In general, they evaluate to zero, unless they contain an odd count of indices from the set {2,5,7}, corresponding to the antisymmetric (imaginary) s.
Since the eight matrices and the identity are a complete trace-orthogonal set spanning all 3×3 matrices, it is straightforward to find two Fierz completeness relations, (Li & Cheng, 4.134), analogous to that satisfied by the Pauli matrices.
A particular choice of matrices is called a group representation, because any element of SU(3) can be written in the form formula_20, where the eight formula_21 are real numbers and a sum over the index is implied.
Given one representation, an equivalent one may be obtained by an arbitrary unitary similarity transformation, since that leaves the commutator unchanged.
These matrices serve to study the internal (color) rotations of the gluon fields associated with the coloured quarks of quantum chromodynamics (cf.
The Tupolev Tu-80 () was a Soviet prototype for a longer-ranged version of the Tupolev Tu-4 bomber, built after World War II.
Work began on the design in February 1948 and this was confirmed by a Council of Ministers order of 12 June that required the prototype be ready for State acceptance trials in July 1949.
The forward portion of the fuselage was redesigned with an airliner-style stepped windscreen and the fuselage was lengthened by almost which allowed the bomb bays and their doors to be lengthened.
The wings were enlarged to a total of and the rubber deicing boots were replaced by more efficient and aerodynamic bleed air deicers.
Construction of the Tu-80 began in November 1948, using as many Tu-4 components as possible to speed up construction, but the first flight was not until 1 December 1949, after the Council of Ministers had canceled the program on 16 September 1949 in favor of the Tu-85 which was expected to have much better performance.
Set in 1950, it was first produced at the Yale Repertory Theatre in March 1982 and made its premiere on Broadway on 4 May at the Lyceum Theatre, where it ran for 344 performances.
The play takes place in South Africa during apartheid era, and depicts how institutionalized racism, bigotry or hatred can become absorbed by those who live under it.
It is said to be a semi-autobiographical play, as Athol Fugard's birth name was Harold and his boyhood was very similar to Hally's, including his father being disabled, and his mother running a tea shop to support the family.
At the start of the play Sam and Willie are practising ballroom steps in preparation for a major competition, while maintaining the tea shop.
When Willie, in broken English, describes his ballroom partner and girlfriend as lacking enthusiasm, Sam correctly diagnoses the problem: Willie beats her if she doesn't know the steps.
Sam is the unacknowledged yet de facto mentor to the boy since childhood, and has always treated Hally as his nephew/ward.
And hopefully thereby, takes up those values and viewpoints of an adult; and a man, that Sam, has over the years lain down; and, that all men try to leave as their legacy of shepherding an adolescent boy into manhood.
Hally warmly remembers the simple act of flying a kite Sam had made for him out of junk; we later learn that Sam made it to cheer Hally up after he was embarrassed greatly by his father's public and continuing drunkenness.
Almost immediately despair returns: Sam had early on mentioned why Hally's mother is not present; the hospital had called about his father, who has been there receiving treatment for complications from a leg he lost in World War II, to discharge him, and she had left to bring him home.
However, Hally, indicating that his father had been in considerable pain the previous day, insisted that his father wasn't well enough to be discharged, and that the call must've been about a bad turn, rather than a discharge notice.
A call from Hally's mother at the hospital confirms that Hally's father, is manipulating the hospital into discharging him, although he is indeed, not feeling any better than before, so it's still unofficial, and Hally remains hopeful that the discharge won't happen.
Hally is distraught about this news, since his father, who in addition to being crippled, is revealed to be a tyrannical alcoholic, and his being home will make home life unbearable with his drinking, fighting, and need for constant treatment, which includes demeaning tasks of having to massage his stump, and empty chamber pots of urine.
But when Sam chastises him for doing so, Hally, although ashamed of himself, turns on him, unleashing vicarious racism, that he learned from his father, creating possibly permanent rifts in his relationship with both Sam and Willie.
Sam is hurt and angry and both he and Willie are just short of attacking Hally, but they both understand that Hally is really causing himself the most pain.
There is a glimmer of hope for reconciliation at the end, when Sam addresses Hally by his nickname again and asks to start over the next day, harkening back to the simple days of the kite.
Fugard adapted the play for a television movie produced in 1985, directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg with stars, Matthew Broderick, Zakes Mokae, and John Kani.
The film was directed by Lonny Price (who played Hally in the original Broadway cast) and produced by Zaheer Goodman-Bhyat, Mike Auret, Nelle Nugent and David Pupkewitz.
The Tupolev Tu-75 () was a military transport variant of the Tu-4 bomber, as was a similar airliner, the Tu-70, both using a new, purpose-designed fuselage.
It was not placed into production because the VVS decided it would be cheaper to modify its existing Tu-4s for the transport mission and to use its existing Lisunov Li-2 and Ilyushin Il-12 transports.
The Tupolev OKB began work in September 1946 on a military transport version of the Tupolev Tu-70 airliner and this was confirmed by the Council of Ministers on 11 March 1947 with state trials to begin in August 1948.
Three gun turrets (dorsal, ventral and tail), were to be adapted from the Tu-4, although they were not fitted on the prototype.
In the first role it was designed to carry two ASU-76 assault guns, two STZ NATI artillery tractors, six or seven GAZ-67B jeeps or five guns without their prime movers or any combination of equipment up to .
To facilitate the loading of cargo, a winch was mounted on the ceiling of the cargo hold with a capacity of .
Construction of the first prototype was quite prolonged; the aircraft was not finished until November 1949, with its first flight taking place on 21 January 1950.
It finished its manufacturer's trials the following May, but Tupolev decided not to submit it for the State acceptance trials as the Soviet Air Force had already decided that it would be cheaper to rely on its existing transports and to modify Tu-4 bombers for the cargo role.

The Homepage of Newgrounds includes featured submissions from each category, as well as awards and honors to users whose submission that fall under the site's requirements to earn them.
Adult-oriented content is allowed, but is supposedly restricted only to users aged 18 and up, though there is no safeguard to assure this.
Online competitions and contests are open at some times, where an individual can win and receive prizes presented by either a recognized user or staff member upon following a given theme.
Any user breaking the rules of site use anywhere on the site can be sent warnings or subjected to sanctions, such as restrictions of membership or banning, by the Moderators or Staff.
Introducing banner ads to pay for growing payments in 1999, Fulp partnered with Troma, who hosted the site in exchange for a share of ad revenue.
A chat room and message board was added onto the website, which allowed people visiting the website to interact with each other.
Ad revenue had increased, so Ross was hired, starting development of the current automated Portal, which would allow users to submit their own generated content to the website and have it judged by anyone visiting.
2004 saw Newgrounds recovering from the online market crash, and the Numa Numa Dance viral phenomenon made its debut on Newgrounds near the end of the year, and became one of the first viral videos on the internet.
The Art Portal in its complete form was launched in June of the same year, along with the renovation of the company's headquarters.
In 2011, the Newgrounds Annual Tournament of Animation (NATA) began as a 4–6 month long animation competition on Newgrounds sponsored by Adobe.
That same year, major changes to the website included the launch of the video player, allowing users to publish movies that were not in .SWF format for the first time, and support for HTML5-coded games, which meant users were no longer limited to submitting movies and games made in Flash.
The Audio Portal consisted of submitted copyrighted songs for use in the game, leading to nightcore, along with mashups, banned as a result.
The issue of copyright protection came to a head in 2016, when the site received a serious challenge to deal with the content and files containing unlicensed commercial music and images, resulting in many submissions being removed by moderators and staff.
In 2018, new servers and video-encoding-software were unveiled, along with developments for the site to be ad-free, and improve page performance.
In November and December 2018, Newgrounds experienced surges of new members originally from Tumblr, when that site began restricting adult content after illegal child pornography was found on that service, resulting in its iOS app being removed from Apple's App Store.
In the wake of the Adobe Flash Player no longer being supported in 2020, Newgrounds developed the Newgrounds Player as an alternate media player to continue viewing old Flash projects.
Newgrounds also introduced support for HTML5-based games and animations as an alternative to Flash, which can be uploaded in the form of a .zip file.
It was based on the Tupolev Tu-8, but differed by having a slightly longer fuselage, increased defensive armament, and slightly enlarged vertical stabilizers.
The first flight of the Tu-72 was scheduled for 1948, but the project was cancelled due to the success of the Tupolev Tu-4 and Tupolev's focus on first-generation strategic jet bombers.
The Tupolev Tu-70 (; NATO reporting name: Cart) was a Soviet passenger variant of the Tu-4 bomber (which was reverse-engineered from the American Boeing B-29 Superfortress) and designed immediately after the end of World War II.
It used a number of components from Boeing B-29s that had made emergency landings in the Soviet Union after bombing Japan.
The aircraft was successfully tested, recommended for serial production, but ultimately not produced because of more pressing military orders and because Aeroflot had no requirement for such an aircraft.
After basic design work was completed on the Tu-4 bomber, Tupolev decided to design a passenger variant with a pressurized fuselage, given the internal designation of Tu-70.
Design work on a mockup began in February 1946 and the Council of Ministers confirmed an order for a single prototype the following month.
These included the outer wing panels, the engine cowlings, the flaps, the undercarriage, the tail assembly and some of the internal equipment.
Three different configurations were proposed for the cabin layout, a government VIP version, a mixed-class 40–48 passenger model and an airliner configuration with 72 seats.
This was traced to a design defect in the American-built supercharger-control system, but identifying the problem and fixing it prolonged the manufacturer's trials through October 1947.
It met all the design goals, but was not accepted for production as all the factories were already committed to building aircraft with a higher priority and Aeroflot had no requirement for the type, being fully satisfied with its existing Ilyushin Il-12 airliners.
It was sent to the NII VVS ( – Scientific-Research Institute of the Air Forces) for evaluation as a military transport aircraft in December 1951.
He used his position as a piano accompanist and presenter at the Blue Angel cabaret venue to promote the song, and it was soon introduced in cabaret performances by Felicia Sanders.
Harnell's recording won him a Grammy Award at the 5th Annual Grammy Awards for Best Performance by an Orchestra – for Dancing.
Bart Howard estimated that by the time Frank Sinatra covered the song in 1964, more than 100 other versions had been recorded.
A copy of the song was played on a Sony TC-50 portable cassette player on the Apollo 10 mission which orbited the Moon, and also on Apollo 11 before the first landing on the Moon.
The song's association with Apollo 11 was reprised many years later when Diana Krall sang it at the mission's 40th anniversary commemoration ceremony, and also for mission commander Neil Armstrong's memorial service in 2012.
The Visigothic Code (; , Book of the Judges), also called Lex Visigothorum (English: Law of the Visigoths), is a set of laws first promulgated by king Chindasuinth (642–653 AD) of the Visigothic Kingdom in his second year of rule (642–643) that survives only in fragments.
In 654 his son, king Recceswinth (649–672), published the enlarged law code, which was the first law code that applied equally to the conquering Goths and the general population, of which the majority had Roman roots, and had lived under Roman laws.
In this way, all subjects of the kingdom were gathered under the same jurisdiction, eliminating social and legal differences, and allowing greater assimilation of the populations.
The first written laws of the Visigothic kingdom were compiled during the rule of king Alaric II and were meant to regulate the lives of Romans, who made up the majority of the kingdom and were based on the existing Roman imperial laws and their interpretations.
In 589, at the Third Council of Toledo, the ruling Visigoths and Suebi, who had been Arian Christians, accepted Roman Christianity (what became modern Catholicism).
Now that the formerly Roman population and the Goths shared the same faith King Reccared issued laws that equally applied to both populations.
The laws govern and sanction family life and by extension political life: marriage, the transmission of property to heirs, safeguarding the rights of widows and orphans.
Particularly with the Visigoth's Law Codes, women could inherit land and title, were allowed to manage land independently from their husbands or male relations, dispose of their property in legal wills if they had no heirs, could represent themselves and bear witness in court by age 14 and arrange for their own marriages by age 20.
The code is known to have been preserved by the Moors, as Christians were permitted the use of their own laws, where they did not conflict with those of the conquerors, upon the regular payment of jizya tribute.
Thus it may be presumed that it was the recognized legal authority of Christian magistrates while the Iberian Peninsula remained under Muslim control.
When Ferdinand III of Castile took Córdoba in the thirteenth century, he ordered that the code be adopted and observed by his subjects, and had it translated, albeit inaccurately, into the Castilian language, as the Fuero Juzgo.
AMC Theatres (originally an abbreviation for American Multi-Cinema; often referred to simply as AMC and known in some countries as AMC Cinemas or AMC Multi-Cinemas) is a U.S.-based movie theater chain headquartered in Leawood, Kansas, and is the largest movie theater chain in the world.
After acquiring Odeon Cinemas, UCI Cinemas, and Carmike Cinemas in 2016, it became the largest movie theater chain in both the world and the United States, with 2,200 screens in 244 theatres in Europe and over 8,200 screens in 661 theatres in the United States.
The company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange; from 2012 to 2018, the Chinese conglomorate Wanda Group owned a majority stake in the company.
AMC Theatres was founded in 1920 by Maurice, Edward, and Barney Dubinsky, who had been traveling the Midwest performing melodramas and tent shows with actress Jeanne Eagels.
In 1961, Edward's son Stanley H. Durwood took control of Durwood Theatres, then a small 10-theatre chain, when his father died.
During the incorporation process, the name was changed quickly thereafter to American Multi-Cinema, Inc., and Stanley began to apply military management and the insights of management science to revolutionize the movie theatre industry.
Under its new name, AMC Theatres opened the two-screen Parkway Twin theatre in a shopping center on Kansas City's Ward Parkway in 1963.
The industry quickly embraced the multiplex concept, where additional screens meant very little difference in staff and operating costs but resulted in a significant increase in profits.
It also gave owners the flexibility to show big hits on more screens, and less reliance on any individual film that could turn out to be a bust.
AMC Theatres had built and was operating a number of 10-screen multiplex cinemas in the United Kingdom, including sites at locations such as Dudley and Tamworth.
In 1995, AMC Theatres pioneered the first North American megaplex, a theater that could accommodate thousands, when it opened the AMC Grand 24 in Dallas, Texas; the first megaplex in the world had been built by European chain Kinepolis in 1988.
AMC continued to open other megaplex theaters, such as the AMC Hampton Towne Center 24 in Hampton, Virginia, and the chain's busiest theater in the US, the AMC Empire 25 in New York City near Times Square.
The largest theaters in the AMC Theatres chain have 30 screens, including the AMC Gulf Pointe 30 in Houston, Texas, the AMC DINE-IN Grapevine Mills 30 in Grapevine, Texas, the AMC Ontario Mills 30 in Ontario, California, the AMC Orange 30 in Orange, California, the AMC Cantera 30 in Warrenville, IL (now 17 screens and run by Regal Entertainment Group), and the AMC Forum 30 in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
In January 2002, the 16-screen Great Northern theatre was opened in Manchester, which was later supplemented by the opening of a 12-screen cinema on the Broadway Plaza site in Birmingham in October 2003.
AMC Theatres's United Kingdom outlets typically serve a dual function; in addition to the normal cinema functions, they also cater to companies' business conferences which can make use of their projectors for displaying presentations.
AMC Theatres was acquired by Marquee Holdings Inc. in 2004, an investment vehicle controlled by affiliates of J.P. Morgan Partners, LLC, the private equity arm of JPMorgan Chase, and Apollo Global Management, a private investment firm.
In 2006, the company announced a new initial public offering (IPO), which was expected to be worth approximately $789 million; however, adverse market conditions convinced the company's management to withdraw from such an offering on May 3, 2007.
Under new leadership, one of the first major announcements came in March of the same year; the company announced that it would equip 1,500 of its screens with Real D projectors.
In the same month, AMC Theatres announced that it had closed on a $315 million deal with Sony the parent company of Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony Music Entertainment and Sony Interactive Entertainment to replace all of its reel projectors with digital cinema projectors, starting in the second quarter of 2009 and completing in 2012.
In September 2011, AMC Theatres announced plans to move its headquarters to a new $30 million four-story building designed by 360 Architecture in the Park Place development at 117th Street and Nall Avenue in Leawood, Kansas in suburban Kansas City.
The company continues to officially be headquartered in Kansas City, although it has moved its HQ to the 10 Main Center, where it now leases space.
After reaching a settlement with the state of Illinois in April 2012 regarding complaints from a disability rights organization, AMC pledged to equip all of its theaters in the state with captioning and description services by 2014.
The disability rights group had accused the company of only providing closed captioning or audio description systems at some of its locations in the state.
In July 2012, four locations were sold to Cineplex Entertainment, and two more locations were sold to Empire Theatres and later acquired by Landmark Cinemas.
In December 2015, AMC announced that Adam Aron would be the company's president and chief executive officer beginning January 4, 2016.
In March 2016, AMC Theatres announced it would acquire competitor Carmike Cinemas; in July 2016 Carmike's management accepted a revised offer, pending regulatory, and shareholder approval.
On March 1, 2017, AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron stated that the company would re-brand the Carmike Cinemas locations under the AMC name; smaller locations were rebranded under the new banner AMC Classic (which repurposes trademarks associated with Carmike).
In September 2018, Silver Lake Partners made a $600 million investment in AMC Theatres, whose proceeds were used to repurchase approximately 32% of Wanda Group's class B common stock.
In October 2019, AMC began to offer on-demand rentals and purchases of digital film releases under the banner AMC Theatres On Demand.
For those AMC cinemas which were not part of the Loews Cineplex acquisition, and therefore, ticketed by MovieTickets.com, the website's surcharge was waived for MovieWatcher members.
For that initial fee, each AMC Stubs member would receive $5 on every $50 spent between the box office and the concession stand at any AMC theater nationwide.
AMC Stubs members also received a free size upgrade with every popcorn and drink they purchase (for example, an AMC Stubs member can get a large popcorn for the price of a regular).
As of March 29, 2012, AMC Stubs had 3.2 million members, which represents approximately 18% of AMC attendance during fiscal 2012.
These are primarily offered at AMC and AMC Dine-in locations, but some AMC Classic locations with liquor licenses offer their alcoholic beverages under this brand.
Some AMC Dine-in theaters have their MacGuffins set up as a full service restaurant that can be accessed without having to pay for a movie ticket.
Slight differences exist per market, but nationwide, no person under age 17 is admitted into an R-rated film without a parent or guardian aged 21 or older purchasing their ticket and joining them in the theater.
Those who do meet or exceed the age of 17 but look under the age of 25 must present a photo ID with name and date of birth to be admitted to such movies.
Most locations operate under the main AMC brand after the Carmike merger, but AMC introduced two additional brands for their theaters.
Along with their main AMC brand, previously AMC has operated locations under the Loews, Starplex, Showcase, and Magic (Johnson) Theatres names, among others, but as of February 28, 2017, have started phasing those brands out along with Carmike's own brands (Carmike, Muvico, Digiplex, Sundance, and GKC) and is unifying them under one of three names.
Although the announcement was made on March 1, 2017 one location acquired from Carmike was re-branded to AMC Classic on February 23, 2017, seven days before the announcement.
The main AMC brand is being used at most locations and will include premium features such as recliner seating, reserved seating, MacGuffins bars, and large format auditoriums such as IMAX.
Since the purchase, some AMC Classic locations have undergone refurbishments to add expanded concessions options (including an expanded menu, MacGuffins bars, and Coca-Cola Freestyle machines), upgraded AV equipment, and reclining seats.
Some theatres like Festival Plaza 16 in Montgomery, Alabama, and Palm Promenade 24 in San Diego, California were formerly part of the main AMC brand.
In several markets, AMC offers Dine-In Theaters branded as Fork and Screen, Cinema Suites, and Red Kitchen which offer the option to order full meals and alcoholic beverages.
After the Carmike merger, AMC announced that all locations with full kitchen service will be unified under the AMC Dine-In brand phasing out the current sub-brands and the brands used by Carmike: Ovation, Sundance, and Bogart's.
The AMC Citywalk Stadium 19 located in Universal Studios Hollywood's Citywalk was rebranded under this name in December 2016, and was renovated and had its grand reopening on April 25, 2017 under the new brand.
AMC Theatres has also had some endeavors that did not prove as viable, such as experimenting with 16 mm film for projection and selling microwave popcorn at concession stands in the South several years ago.
They also stumbled by agreeing to install the Sony Dynamic Digital Sound system in all their new locations, rather than the more popular Dolby Digital or DTS systems.
While the majority of major releases have all three digital tracks, including SDDS, most independent and smaller-budget films only have Dolby Digital tracks, leaving many theaters in AMC's otherwise ultra-modern megaplexes showing films in analog sound.
In July 1994, AMC Theatres signed an agreement with Sony to begin installing Dolby Digital in auditoriums, and in 2003 began upgrading selected older auditoriums.
AMC announced an agreement on March 26, 2009, to convert 1,500 existing auditoriums to fully digital 3D screens using RealD technology.
On March 30, 2009, AMC announced they will convert all 4500 screens in their chain to 4K digital projectors provided by Sony.
In competition with IMAX, AMC had begun its conversion at select locations to the 'Enhanced Theatre Experience' (ETX), with the installation of larger screens, 12-channel surround sound, and digital projection (utilizing either Sony 4K projection or Christie DLP technology).
The Planet Movies by AMC venture planned to open complexes worldwide with the objective of having icon locations in major metropolitan and other select areas, like Orlando and Columbus.
Initially, seven existing, unnamed AMC megaplex theaters with more than 150 combined screens were to be re-branded under a license arrangement to incorporate certain elements of the new concept.
The AMC Pleasure Island 24 megaplex in Orlando, situated directly across from Planet Hollywood's most successful restaurant and retail unit and adjacent to Disney's Pleasure Island (now Disney Springs) was to be the first Planet Movies location.
After the initial seven, the joint-venture planned to own and operate all subsequent units including 8 to 10 complexes with 200 to 250 screens planned to open over the next 18 to 24 months.
The only Planet Movies location to actually open, a 30 screen megaplex, did so in the summer of 1999 at Easton Town Center in Columbus, Ohio.
As Planet Hollywood was preparing to emerge from bankruptcy in October 1999 their re-organization plan emphasized focus back on their core restaurant business and away from side-ventures like Planet Movies and their Cool Planet ice cream chain.
The Planet Hollywood restaurant and All Star Café in Columbus were closed in late 2000, and the film memorabilia were also removed from the theater as it was rebranded AMC Easton 30, and continues to operate.
Both of the Disney Parks in the United States at one time included AMC movie theaters at their Downtown Disney sections: AMC Dine-In Disney Springs 24 all-stadium-seating megaplex with Dolby Cinema and Dine-In Theatres (opened in 1996) (formerly AMC Pleasure Island 24) at Walt Disney World Resort and AMC Downtown Disney 12 at Disneyland Resort stadium-seating multiplex (opened in 2001, closed in 2018).
Universal Studios Hollywood also contains an AMC location, called Universal Cinema, an AMC Theatre, that in the past was a Cineplex Odeon.
At Universal Studios Orlando, AMC had the Universal Cineplex 20 (also a former Cineplex Odeon), until September 2018 when it became a Cinemark.
AMC Independent (also known as AMCi) is an AMC film distribution program that aim to help independent filmmakers get their films in front of theatrical audiences.
The program was announced in 2010 via the AMC Blog and has been responsible for promoting and distributing all independent films to AMC theaters since.
In March 2002, AMC bought General Cinema Corporation, which added 66 theaters with 621 screens to the company assets, as well as Gulf States Theaters, which had five theaters with 68 screens in the greater New Orleans area.
On January 26, 2006, AMC merged with Loews Cineplex Entertainment to form AMC Entertainment; the deal brought in AMC's fold of the entire Loews and American Cineplex chains, along with Magic Theatres (named after NBA player Magic Johnson) and Star Theatres, based in Metro Detroit.
In 2010, AMC acquired Chicago-based Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, LLC for $275 million, combining the nation's second and sixth largest movie theater chains, except for the Showplace 14 in New Jersey and the Showplace ICON theatres.
On March 3, 2016, AMC announced its intent to acquire Carmike Cinemas in a $1.1 billion deal, pending regulatory and shareholder approval, which would allow it to overtake Regal as the United States' largest movie theater chain.
In July 2016, UCI & Odeon Cinema Group was sold to AMC for approximately $1.21 billion, subject to European Commission approval.
In January 2017, Nordic Cinema Group, the leading movie theater operator in the Nordic and Baltic area, was sold to AMC for approximately $929 million.
The early versions of stadium-style seating as built in 1995 had auditoriums configured with an entrance to a flat area in front of the screen for wheelchair users; persons sitting there had to either lean back or look up at an uncomfortable angle to see the screen.
Able-bodied guests had to ascend the stairs to sit in the middle of the risers in order to have a comfortable line-of-sight with the screen.
Since some wheelchair users may have limited neck movement range, this configuration made AMC a popular target for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) lawsuits.
AMC subsequently solved the problem in newer theaters by building full-stadium auditoriums where the main entrance is through a ramp that emerges onto a platform in the middle of the risers so that wheelchair users can enjoy optimal line-of-sight.
However, the U.S. Department of Justice sued the company, and obtained an order requiring AMC to retrofit over 1,990 screens in 95 multiplexes and megaplexes across the United States.
The company successfully appealed the order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which ruled on December 5, 2008, that the order was grossly overboard and violated AMC's due process rights under the Constitution of the United States.
AMC won by pointing out that the United States Access Board had not yet amended its guidelines for movie theaters to specifically require theaters to provide wheelchair guests sightlines that were as good as those from elevated risers, versus merely providing an unobstructed view of the screen.
Therefore, the court ruled that it was unfair to AMC to retroactively hold it to a standard which did not exist at the time it began building stadium-style theaters.
Introduced by Phil Hartman and read live by Handey (neither actually appeared on screen), the one-liners proved to be extremely popular.
Handey is also credited with creating Toonces the Driving Cat, the cat who could drive a car, although not very well.
Handey, who owned a real cat by the same name, once said he could not remember exactly how he dreamed up the premise.
A hearing test provides an evaluation of the sensitivity of a person's sense of hearing and is most often performed by an audiologist using an audiometer.
Prior to the hearing test itself, the ears of the client are usually examined with an otoscope to make sure they are free of wax, that the eardrum is intact, the ears are not infected, and the middle ear is free of fluid (indicating middle ear infection).
The most common reasons to develop hearing loss due to genetic disorder, ageing problems, exposure to noise pollution, infections, birth complications, trauma to the ear, and certain medications or toxins.
The standard and most common type of hearing test is pure tone audiometry, which measures the air and bone conduction thresholds for each ear in a set of 8 standard frequencies from 250Hz to 8000Hz.
The test is conducted in a sound booth using either a pair of foam inserts or supraural headphones connected to an external audiometer.
There is also a high frequency version of the test which tests frequencies over 8000Hz to 16000Hz which may be employed in special circumstances.
The availability of stereo headphones and smartphones or tablets equipped with sound reproduction systems led to the appearance of new audiologic diagnostic methods which help people identify their degree of hearing loss without assistance.
In the process of hearing test with specialized applications, initial hearing thresholds of perception of tone signals on different frequencies (audiogram) are identified.
Hearing thresholds, like with traditional audiometry, and with a special application, are determined on a standard set of frequencies from 125 Hz to 8 kHz.
Advantages of the audiometry conducted with a specialized application or hearing aid application include availability and possibility to do the hearing test without assistance.
Despite possible errors in the results of diagnostics, the undoubted advantages of hearing testing with a special application or hearing aid application include the ability to do the hearing test without assistance and the availability of hearing testing.
Scientists suggest that the hearing test using a mobile application can be used to identify hearing pathologies and also for hearing screening tests.
When the patient can no longer feel/hear the vibration, the tuning fork is held in front of the ear; the patient should once more be able to hear a ringing sound.
The patient is then asked if the sound is localised in the centre of the head or whether it is louder in either ear.
If there is conductive hearing loss, it is likely to be louder in the affected ear; if there is sensorineural hearing loss, it will be quieter in the affected ear.
This test helps the audiologist determine whether the hearing loss is conductive (caused by problems in the outer or middle ear) or sensorineural (caused by problems in the cochlea, the sensory organ of hearing) or neural - caused by a problem in the auditory nerve or auditory pathways/cortex of the brain.
In the test, the patient is required to repeat sentences both in a quiet environment and with competing noise being presented from different directions.
More specifically, there are four conditions: (1) sentences with no competing noise, (2) sentences with competing noise presented directly in front of the patient, (3) noise presented at 90° to the right of the patient, and (4) noise presented at 90° to the left of the patient.
The test measures signal to noise ratio for the different conditions which corresponds to how loud the sentences needed to be played above the noise so that the patient can repeat them correctly 50% of the time.
The Words-in-Noise Test (WIN) uses monosyllabic words presented at seven different signal to noise ratios with masking noise - typically speech spectrum noise.
Unlike a pure-tone audiogram, the WIN test may provide a more functional test of a person's hearing in a situation that is likely to occur.
The Modified Rhyme Test (MRT) is defined in the American National Standard ANSI S3.2 Methods for Measuring the Intelligibility of Speech Over Communication Systems.
The MRT has been extensively used by the US Air Force to test the performance of different communication systems, which often include a noise interference component.
The material continued to display the band's exploration of synthesizer-oriented music, this time with the addition of sampling, electronic drums, a string section, and choir, with power being a running lyrical theme.
In January 1986, the album reached platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for one million copies sold in the United States.
Drummer Neil Peart would write a set of lyrics from the studio's farmhouse while Lifeson and frontman Geddy Lee worked on music to fit Peart's words in the adjacent barn which housed a 24-track recording studio.
Lee and Lifeson sorted through jams recorded at soundchecks on tour and Lifeson's own tapes of ideas to assemble music for the three tracks, with each song taking up to a week.
Having worked out some material, Rush underwent a five-day warm-up tour in Florida in March 1985 to sharpen their performance and to test the new songs on stage prior to recording.
Following their warm-up gigs, the band returned to Elora and continued working on their new songs, their break away being a positive impact on their work upon returning.
Upon presenting his words to Lee and Lifeson, his lyrics fit to the piece of music that his bandmates were working on at the time.
He added that the album contained elements that Rush had not incorporated before and broke several boundaries that had existed with previous albums.
Recording began at The Manor Studios in Oxfordshire, England, where the basic rhythm, keyboards, and bass tracks were recorded more quickly than usual, in the span of five weeks, to capture more spontaneous performances ready for overdubs.
It was during sessions at The Manor where Rush brought in musician Andy Richards to play additional synthesizers and assist in their programming.
His rig consisted of a PPG Wave 2.3 synthesizer connected to a Roland Super Jupiter module through a MIDI system, a Yamaha QX-1 digital sequencer, and a Roland Jupiter-8 and Yamaha DX7 synthesizer.
They had discussed recording at the studio for several years and booked the facility for three weeks for Lifeson to record guitar overdubs.
Collins recalled this period of recording as painstaking work due to the various combination of microphone and amplifier set-ups that were experimented.
Mixing began in July after the band took a one-week break from the material, which coincided with decisions on the final running order, artwork, credits, and photos.
Rush wanted musician and arranger Anne Dudley to complete the string arrangements, which she agreed to do, and the group was conducted by Andrew Pryce Jackman.
The album completed, Lee oversaw the mastering in New York City in September, and proofs were approved for the album cover.
The track was difficult for the band to put together, partly due to Peart's difficulty in writing lyrics from an objective point of view, rather than as an observer of the event.
After Peart had written some lyrical ideas he went through them with Lee, who noticed it was telling a story and found them difficult to sing once he and Lifeson had developed music for them.
The pictures on the front and back covers were painted by Hugh Syme, from reference photos taken by photographer Dimo Safari, and the model is Neill Cunningham from Toronto.
AllMusic's Eduardo Rivadavia retrospectively described the album as Rush's coldest album, citing the sparse, horn-like guitar playing of Lifeson, the prominent synthesizer of Lee and Peart's crisp, clinical percussion and stark lyrical themes.
Although the original recording had a SPARS code of DDD and was considered to be of good quality, a remastered edition was issued in 1997.
The high definition master prepared for this release was also made available for purchase in a 24-bit/48 kHz digital format at several high-resolution audio online music stores.
Schwartzman was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of actress Talia Shire (née Coppola) and the late producer Jack Schwartzman.
Many other members of Schwartzman's family are involved in film and entertainment: he is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola and Anton Coppola; cousin of Nicolas Cage, Sofia Coppola, Roman Coppola, and Christopher Coppola; and grandson of Italia Coppola (née Pennino) and Carmine Coppola.
The album had musical contributions by members of Incubus, as well as appearances by actresses Zooey Deschanel and Kirsten Dunst and Schwartzman's brother Robert.
Schwartzman has said in various interviews during South by Southwest (SXSW) that he is currently writing new material for Coconut Records and will be recording in the next year.
Lake George is also the name of a locality on the western and southern edges of the lake, within the area of the Queanbeyan–Palerang Regional Council.
Originally, small streams drained its catchment into the Yass River, but then the Lake George Escarpment rose due to major crustal movement along a strong fault line, blocking this drainage and forming the lake.
The thickness of sediment beneath the lake exceeds , according to a Bureau of Mineral Resources Canberra drilling programme in the 1982/83 summer.
The oldest sediments, which lie some distance above the bedrock, were dated at 4–5 million years using spore and pollen analysis and magnetic reversal stratigraphy.
Resultant evaporation rates as well as a tendency for strong winds to blow the water back on itself explain the mysterious filling and drying episodes on both short term (hours) and long term (years) time scales that have been observed.
Lake George is the site of an experimental scientific wave behaviour platform established by researchers from the Civil Engineering department of the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra.
Lake George was an important subject for the Canberra artist, Rosalie Gascoigne (1917-1999) who told Kate Davidson in 1996 that she ‘was enraptured with the feeling of getting out of my car at the top of the range above Lake George and Gundaroo and seeing Australia stretch away under a big dome of sky.
They were a sensation, but the Government of New South Wales ordered that they be removed, following a complaint from the leaseholder of the land.
The first European to visit the lake was Joseph Wild on 19 August 1820, and it was named for King George III on 28 October 1820 by Governor Lachlan Macquarie, who was touring the area as part of a Royal Commission inquiring into the condition of the Colony.
A large and beautiful billabong existed at the northern end of the lake, and in the 1850s it was stocked by the landowner with Murray cod fished out of the Molonglo River at Yarralumla.
In their search for water to survive in, the Murray cod flocked into the mouths of the few small creeks feeding the lake and were killed by the thousands.
In the early 1900s an area immediately to the east of the lake was surveyed as a possible site for the capital city of Australia.
During World War II, a wooden 'dummy' ship was floated on the lake and used for bombing practice by the Royal Australian Air Force.
Due to the ongoing drought in New South Wales, Lake George dried out completely in November 2002, and remained so until February 2010 when it started to refill.
The previous time the lake had dried out completely was during a severe drought in the 1940s, although it was partially dry in 1986, leaving large pools of water.
In the intervening years the level of water in the lake had never been as high as that in September 2016.
The unusual fluctuations in the water level have given rise to fanciful urban myths that the lake is somehow connected to lakes in Peru or South Africa, although NSW government ecologist Justin Nancarrow theorises that the lake may indeed be connected to the nearby Yass River by subterranean aquifers which pass under the surrounding escarpment, and that this connection may explain the salinity of the river.
Lake George is a locality covering territory on the western and southern edges of the lake, largely within the area of the Queanbeyan–Palerang Regional Council, although some hillside areas are in the Yass Valley Council.
The cities of Devils Lake, North Dakota and Minnewaukan, North Dakota take their name from the lake as does the Spirit Lake Reservation, which is located on the lake's southern shores.
The Sisseton, Wahpeton, and Cut-Head bands of Dakotas were relocated to the Spirit Lake Reservation as a result of the 1867 treaty with the United States that established a reservation for Dakotas who had not been forcibly relocated to Crow Creek Reservation in what is now called South Dakota.
At , the combined lake flows naturally into the Sheyenne River, though the lake has not reached this level in approximately 1,000 years.
The Sheyenne River is a tributary to the Red River, which flows into Canada, with eventual exit into the Hudson Bay.
During periods of excessive precipitation, however, the lake can be up to deep, eutrophic (rich in minerals, nutrients, and organisms), with decreased salinity due to dilution.
Because Devils Lake is endorheic, the lake tends to be much higher in salinity than are lakes with outlets to river systems.
Salinity levels in the lake have been one prominent aspect of the debate over diversion of lake water into the Sheyenne River, with questions of the potential environmental impact of the diverted water on downstream rivers, lakes, and communities.
Devils Lake is well known for its wide variations in lake levels, with large swings between low and high water levels.
The low, flat terrain around Devils Lake consists of various coulees, channels, and basins, which may be separated during times of low water, or connected during high water.
Drainage of the basin's wetlands and conversion of the basin's native prairie to cropland has resulted in water moving more rapidly into the lake, increasing water levels.
An increase in precipitation between 1993 and 1999 caused the lake to double in size, forcing the displacement of more than 300 homes and flooding of farmland.
Future climate as projected by 17 different global climate models indicates overall increase in both precipitation and temperature in the Devils Lake region leading to the lake's overspill probability (24-47% without the outlet and 3.5-14.4% with the full capacity outlet) into the nearby Sheyenne River.
In response to the flooding, the U.S. Congress directed the Army Corps of Engineers to research construction of an outlet in 1997 to control the lake level through methods other than evaporation or natural overflow.
The state of North Dakota objected to the cost and certain water quality provisions of the plan, and declined to participate in construction of the Corps' outlet.
In 2003, the state constructed its own outlet to divert water from Devils Lake into the Sheyenne River, at a cost of $28 million.
Other parks on the lake include Black Tiger State Recreation Area and Shelvers Grove State Recreation Area, which is now closed due to the lake's flooding.
Some stakeholders argued for construction of an emergency outlet into the Sheyenne River, which is a tributary of the Red River of the North.
The Army Corps of Engineers proposed to draw water from a different point of the lake, provide filtration, and discharge a maximum of of water from Devil's Lake, in order to lessen dependence on overflow or evaporation to reduce water levels.
The Corps of Engineers estimated its project costs to amount to $186.5 million, with the United States Congress designating $100 million to the project; North Dakota would have paid the remaining amount.
Because the project potentially affected the Red River of the North, which runs into Canadian waters, the project was considered to be covered by the Boundary Waters Treaty, and international issues were raised.
Instead it constructed its own outlet, with approval of the North Dakota Department of Health, the U.S. State Department, and Council on Environmental Quality.
This outlet, which cost $28 million, has a lower maximum discharge than the federal proposal (limited to a maximum of by the Section 402 NDPDES Permit); its gravel filter removes only larger organisms.
They argue the outlet would create the potential for the transfer of unknown foreign aquatic species and high levels of sulfates into the Red River basin, an important agricultural area, and Lake Winnipeg, the world's 10th-largest freshwater lake.
In March 2004, Manitoba, along with Minnesota and several environmental groups, sued the North Dakota Department of Health in state court over the Devils Lake Outlet 402 NDPDES Permit.
The Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909 established an intermediary, the International Joint Commission (IJC), through which the United States and Canada can solve cross-boundary water disputes, but the commission has no power to act without invocation by both nations.
Canada attempted to invoke the IJC for purposes of conflict resolution, but the United States did not, effectively preventing the IJC from taking part in the controversy.
The Government of Canada argues that the diversion by the state, without consultation or approval from Canada, is a violation of the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909 and Canada's national sovereignty.
In November 2005, a joint United States and Canadian study concluded that none of the 13 species Canada classifies as invasive were present in Devils Lake.
The study did find three species of fish parasites that are not currently known to exist in Lake Winnipeg (to which the Red River flows).
In addition, the Devils Lake Basin is significantly smaller than the watersheds feeding Lake Winnipeg, including the Saskatchewan River basin at approximately .
Drawing conclusions about the biological community already in Lake Winnipeg is difficult, due to the relative lack of biological sampling there compared to that of the smaller Devils Lake.
Due to the rising waters of the Devils Lake and its basin, streams can flow into the Red River Valley or the Devils Lake Basin.
The carp's fast reproductive growth and the lack of carp predators in the lake will likely help it to dramatically increase in population.
This could have drastic consequences for existing populations of game fish, such as the walleye and northern pike, which could greatly harm the sport fishing industry.
Some preventive measures have been proposed, including inserting chemicals in the creeks along the boundary of the Devils Lake Basin and the Red River Valley to kill fish.
Biologists did tests in 2005 which conclude that there are currently no carp in the Devils Lake Basin, but some have been found within two miles (3 km).
Due to the lake's rising waters, the BNSF Railway temporarily suspended freight traffic between Devils Lake and Church's Ferry, a total of , during 2009–2013.
To compensate for the loss of station stops at Grand Forks, Devils Lake, and Rugby, North Dakota that would have been caused by the shift, BNSF suggested that Amtrak add a station stop at New Rockford, North Dakota.
In 2010, analysts estimated that Amtrak would soon either have to rebuild the bridge that crosses the lake at Church's Ferry, or reroute its passenger trains.
On June 15, 2011, BNSF and Amtrak agreed to rebuild the rail line, whereby each would cover one-third of the cost.
The growth of freight traffic associated with oil from the Bakken formation in this period resulted in BNSF upgrading its assessment of the importance of the Devils Lake line.
When the habitats dry up, the adult fish die and the eggs survive encased in the clay during the dry season.
A special promotion of Gillette razors and blueblades sold four times better than company estimates, resulting in the company seeking out additional sponsorships for sporting events.
The Gillette stable of radio sports programs spanned several different networks (including the NBC Red Network, CBS Radio Network and the Mutual Broadcasting System) and grew to include not only ongoing sponsorship deals with Major League Baseball for the World Series and All-Star Game, but the annual Kentucky Derby horse race and the Cotton Bowl Classic and Orange Bowl in college football.
The diversified field of sporting events continued onto television, reportedly including at least two golfing tournaments as well as college football's Blue–Gray Classic and (beginning in 1958) the Rose Bowl game.
The twice-weekly 1946 shows began on Monday, November 8 at 9:00 p.m. and Friday, November 12 at 9:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
Both were open-ended programs – as the station signed off the air after the last bout ended (in the early days of television, most stations did not have late-night local newscasts).
St. Nicholas Arena in New York City was the site of the earliest bouts and continued to host the Monday night fights until that program's cancellation in May 1949.
The Friday night program, broadcast from Madison Square Garden lasted until June 24, 1960, a 14-year period which is, by far, the longest continuous run of any boxing program in television history.
Every great boxer of the time – including among others Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson, Archie Moore, Rocky Graziano, Willie Pep – appeared on one or more of its broadcasts.
In the early years of television, there was a saturation of boxing programs, as many as six prime-time network programs in one week, not even counting the myriad local shows.
Bob Haymes (using the stage name Bob Stanton) was the program's original announcer; he was joined by Ray Forrest in 1948.
Jimmy Powers took over the role in 1949 and remained NBC's main boxing announcer until the network ceased carrying prime time boxing matches in 1960.
It received quite a bit of airplay on U.S. radio programs, and was used in the repertoire of many high school and college bands of the period.
Coleco's Head-to-Head Boxing handheld video game, released in 1981, played the most identifiable eight-note part of the tune when turned on and the first three notes of that at the start of each round.
According to Nielsen, the program finished at #6 for the 1950-51 season; it slide to #19 in 1951-52 and then to #24 in 1952-53 before rebounding somewhat to #18 in 1953-54.
Its schedule included the MLB Game of the Week aired on Saturday afternoons, the MLB All-Star Game in the midseason and the fall World Series.
He is particularly remembered for his emotional description on the second of four matches held between Pep and Saddler, which was aired in February 1949.
When nearby Wentworth, Irymple, Nichols Point and Merbein are included, the area had an estimated urban population of 51,903 at June 2018, having grown marginally at an average annual rate of 0.88% year-on-year over the preceding five years.
Langtree Avenue is the main shopping and dining precinct in Mildura, with the middle section of the street a pedestrian mall.
The other major retail precinct is along Fifteenth Street in the Mildura South area, where a mid-sized undercover shopping mall and several big box stores are located.
The urban area of Mildura is surrounded by irrigated horticulture, where the original grape and citrus blocks were located with water irrigated from the Murray River.
While it was the name of the sheep station, without precedent in the English language, most historians believe it to have originated from Aboriginal Australian words.
A major drought in Victoria from 1877 to 1884 prompted Alfred Deakin, then a minister in the State Government and chairman of a Royal Commission on water supply to visit the irrigation areas of California.
In 1886, Canadian-American irrigator George Chaffey came to Australia and selected a derelict sheep station known as Mildura as the site for his first irrigation settlement, signing an agreement with the Victorian government to spend at least £300,000 on permanent improvements at Mildura in the next twenty years.
In 2004 there was a controversial proposal by the Victorian Government to build a state-level Long Term Containment Facility (LTCF) for Industrial Waste in Nowingi, approximately 50 km south of Mildura.
The site is a small enclave of state forest surrounded by national park, and contains habitat important to a number of threatened species.
The abandoning of the LTCF proposal was received with jubilation by opponents of the LTCF not only in the Mildura area and elsewhere in Victoria, but also across the border in South Australia where there were fears that in reputation, if not in substance, the toxic waste could affect the water supply via the Murray River and thereby the fruit-growing industries of the Riverland and Murraylands.
On 10 January 2007 the Victorian Government did not rule out some form of reimbursement for the Rural City of Mildura council's legal and other costs in opposing the LTCF.
Mildura is situated on flat land without hills or mountains on the southern bank of the Murray River and surrounded to the west, north and east by lakes and billabongs including Lake Hawthorn, Lake Ranfurly and Lake Gol Gol.
Several towns surround Mildura on the flat plains including Merbein to the west as well as Irymple and Red Cliffs to the south which could be considered suburban areas or satellite towns separated by small stretches of open farmland.
While the land along the river and irrigation channels is fertile, much of the land around Mildura is also dry, saline and semi-arid.
The population has been growing rapidly for several decades and most of the residential growth has occurred in the south-western and southern parts of the urban area.
However, this shopping precinct competes with the Mildura Central Shopping Centre, located at the opposite end of the urban area on the corner of Fifteenth Street and Deakin Avenue.
The tallest buildings are the two storey 1934 Old Mildura Base Hospital, two storey Marina Dockside apartments completed in 2010 and the three storey tower/spire of the 1920s T&G building.
Rainfall totals are about 280 mm a year and are spread evenly across the months and seasons with Winter and Spring having the most rainy days.
Mildura experiences some very hot days in summer with temperatures exceeding 40 °C (104 °F) on a number of days per year.
Mildura is part of the Fruit Fly Exclusion Zone, in which fruits or vegetables may not be taken into the area (they can, however, be taken out).
This is to stop the Queensland fruit fly from invading crops and plantations which could have a devastating effect on the economy.
Mildura Central's (formerly Centro Mildura) extensive redevelopment in 2005 has positioned the centre as the major shopping destination within the Sunraysia region.
Mildura Central is also the only fully enclosed, air-conditioned centre in this area and offers a retail mix including representation from a number of national fashion stores.
Serving a primary trade area population of 60,000 residents, Mildura Central also receives consumers from beyond the trade area including the Riverland, Swan Hill, Robinvale and Broken Hill.
It includes a large Target, a Big W to the side of Mildura Central, a 19 aisle Woolworths and a Coles supermarket across the road.
Mildura's location in Victoria and consistently strong local lobbying has seen the Government of Victoria take an interest in the city as a possible centre for population and industry decentralisation programs.
There have been numerous proposals involving the state government for large scale developments and investments, many ambitious and speculative that have been shelved indefinitely.
Given the large amount of sunlight Mildura receives, it is the site for several proposals for large scale solar power in Australia including a massive solar updraft tower proposal in 2004 and 2010.
In 2013, Mildura Solar Concentrator Power Station, a 1.5 MW demonstration plant, was commissioned by Silex Systems and it was expected to be expanded to 100 MW by 2017.
However, in August 2014, the project was abandoned by Silex, due to lack of commitment to renewable energy by the Abbott government.
The government's plans to scrap the praised Renewable Energy Target (RET) in Australia were cited as one of the main reasons for abandoning the project.
Organisations such as the Red Cliffs Musical Society, Eisteddfod, Mildura Ballet Guild and Mildura Country Music Festival have helped grow a reputation for home grown talent and creative community.
The hub of this community is the Mildura Arts Centre, which began as a gallery space at Rio Vista House in the 1950s and became fully established in 1956 with the building of a new regional art gallery and performing arts theatre.
Mildura is host to many annual festivals such as the Mildura Country Music Festival, the International Balloon Fiesta, the Jazz Food & Wine Festival, Mildura Wentworth Arts Festival, Murray River International Music Festival, Mildura Writers Festival, Mildura Palimpsest, and the Mildura Show.
In 2018 Mildura recorded the highest rural crime rate in Victoria and the fourth highest crime rate in the state overall.
Mildura has long been associated with the Calabrian Mafia, with claims made by police in 1966 that annual organised crime meetings were held in Mildura to co-ordinate nationwide criminal activities.
During the 1980s the Mildura Mafia emerged as a major crime group that dominated marijuana production in Australia and ran an Australia-wide money-laundering network.
Several notable mafia murders have been linked to the region including the suspected mafia hit on 43-year-old Marco Medici in 1983, police believe the murder may be connected to the assassination of anti-drug crusader Donald MacKay at Griffith in 1977.
In 1982, 42-year-old Mildura greengrocer Dominic Marafiote and his parents were murdered after Marafiote gave South Australian police the names of Calabrian mafia bosses in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales.
In 2016 Mildura residents Nicola Ciconte, Vincenzo Medici and Michael Calleja were convicted and sentenced in Italy for their role in a plot to smuggle up to 500 kilograms of cocaine into Australia.
In 2014, a Mildura-based Comancheros Motorcycle Club member and former Australian Defence Force (ADF) sniper, Joshua Faulkhead, was arrested after being caught transporting large quantities of methamphetamine, cocaine and ecstasy between Sydney and Mildura.
Later that same year, Stephen Gillard and Geoffrey Hitchen from South Penrith, were arrested for possession of $300,000 worth of methamphetamines in scrubland off the Mallee Highway at Tutye, west of Ouyen.
In 2017, a joint Australian Federal Police (AFP) and United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) investigation lead to the seizure of $2.4 million in cash at the Mildura Airport, after 255 kilograms crystal methamphetamine were found at a storage facility in Northern California in June.
The bust was part of an investigation into an alleged conspiracy to use a light plane to export drugs from the US to Australia.
The 72-year-old pilot, a 52-year-old man, from Zetland and a 58 year old Melbourne man were charged with conspiracy to import a commercial quantity of border controlled drugs and money laundering offences.
That arrests were connected to $2.4 million which was found in Mildura, in a prime mover that was driven from Adelaide in April.
Local radio stations include ABC Local Radio (National), RIVER1467AM (3ML)(Commercial), 97.9 Sun FM Sunraysia (Commercial), 99.5 Star FM (Commercial), and Hot FM (Community).
Local TV stations include ABC Television (ABC1), SBS Television (SBS ONE), Prime7, WIN Television, Mildura Digital Television, 7Two, 7mate, GO!, GEM, ABC2, ABC3, ABC News 24, SBS HD, SBS Two, One HD and Eleven.
The Sunraysia region, including the city of Mildura, was the first region in Australia to switch off analogue TV broadcast in the implementation of the country's DTV transition process.
Mildura has nine Australian Rules football teams competing in the Sunraysia Football League; Imperials, Mildura, South Mildura, Irymple, Robinvale-Euston, Wentworth, Merbein, Red Cliffs and Ouyen United.
Roller Derby is a growing sport in the region, with Mildura having their own league, (Mildura Roller Derby League) the team participates in competitions around Victoria and at least annually, will hold a tournament in Mildura.
The SCA consists of 8 teams, Coomealla-Wentworth, Merbein South, Irymple, Mildura East, Mildura Settlers, Mildura West, Nichols Point and Workers-Gol Gol.
Mildura has a horse racing club, the Mildura Racing Club, which schedules around nine race meetings a year including the Mildura Cup meeting in May.
The Sunraysia Baseball Association plays during autumn and winter and has six baseball clubs in the league; Hawks, Saints, Eagles, Wanderers, Tigers and Tornadoes formed in 2010.
Basketball also has a large following in Mildura with hundreds of teams in all divisions entered in the Mildura Basketball Association's summer league.
Association football (soccer) also has a large following in Mildura, with there being a popular junior and senior league played during the winter months.
The league consists of six teams, those being Three Colours, Mildura City, Mildura United, Irymple Knights, Nichols Point and Northern Suns.
It has several tracks in the region to cater for different types of motor sports including the Mildura Kart Club (Go-Kart racing), Timmis Speedway (Automobile speedway), Olympic Park Speedway (Motorcycle speedway), Sunset Strip (1/8 mile drag racing), and North West Victoria Motorcycle Club.
Mildura is on the intersection of the Sturt Highway from Adelaide to Sydney, and the Calder Highway to Melbourne via Bendigo.
CDC Mildura, BusBiz and Dysons operate V/Line bus services that connect Mildura to various parts of Victoria and southern New South Wales.
Mildura Airport is the third busiest airport in Victoria, serviced by three QantasLink flights daily to Melbourne (with four services on Thursday & Friday), three Regional Express Airlines flights to Melbourne, with Regional Express flights daily to Adelaide, Sydney and Broken Hill.
In 1905, a small group of Sisters of Mercy came from Wentworth to Mildura and established a convent in a weatherboard building on the corner of Pine Avenue and Tenth Street.
Catholic secondary education commenced in Mildura in 1906 when the Sisters of Mercy began conducting classes in rooms attached to the original convent in Pine Avenue.
The Certificate of Registration of a School dated 31 December 1906, indicates that sub-primary, primary and secondary classes were being conducted from convent at the time.
In 1911 boarding school facilities were provided in Olive Avenue and in 1914 a new school was erected in Walnut Avenue.
The College has well equipped classrooms, science and computer laboratories, creative arts and design and technology complex, religious education centre, library, sports facilities, staff and student amenities.
The College has been closely linked with the development of Mildura since the opening of the irrigation settlement by the Chaffey's in the 1880s.
For example, in 1890 the Governor of Victoria, Lord Hopetoun, laid the foundation stone of what was to become the Chaffey Agricultural College, but unfortunately, because of financial difficulties, the College was not built.
In 1911, the Education Department of Victoria agreed to erect a high school on the Chaffey College site, and Mildura High School was officially opened in September 1912.
As part of a strategic plan by the Ministry of Education in 1990, Mildura High School changed its name to Mildura Secondary College to reflect the changing nature of educational delivery in secondary schools.
Again as a result of restructuring in education provision since 1995 the College has been known as Mildura Senior College, catering exclusively for the final two years of secondary education.
Mildura Senior College has a long and distinguished history of providing quality educational pathways to thousands of young people living in Sunraysia.
Chaffey Secondary College is a Victorian State Government secondary school catering for students in Years 7 to 10 located in Deakin Avenue.
Students and families participate in a program of course counseling and student-led presentations each term to help students create the most appropriate course for their ability, pathway and interests.
Faraway Hill was the first soap opera broadcast on an American television network, airing on the DuMont Television Network on Wednesday nights at 9:00 PM between October 2 and December 18, 1946.
A widowed New York City resident, Karen St. John (played by Flora Campbell), moved to a small town to be near relatives.
The half-hour show was broadcast live, although filmed excerpts were interspersed, and slides of scenes from previous shows were included in later episodes to bring viewers up to date with regard to plot elements which had previously transpired.
Kalman was born in Budapest and became a U.S. resident in 1956, after he and his family fled Hungary to escape the Soviet invasion, settling in Poughkeepsie, New York.
In 1967 he enrolled in NYU, dropping out after one year of Journalism classes to travel to Cuba to harvest sugar cane and learn about Cuban culture as a member of the Venceremos Brigade.
In 1971 Kalman returned to New York City where he was hired by Leonard Riggio for a small bookstore that eventually became Barnes & Noble.
He later became the creative director of their in-house design department where he designed advertisements, store signs, shopping bags, and the original B&N bookplate trademark.
In 1979 Kalman, Carol Bokuniewicz, and Liz Trovato started the design firm M & Co., which did corporate work for such diverse clients as the Limited Corporation, the new wave group Talking Heads, and Restaurant Florent in New York City's Meatpacking District.
He believed that award-winning design was only possible when the client was ethical, and frequently called other designers out when he didn't agree with their actions.
He defined good design as a benefit to everyday life and should be used to increase public awareness of social issues.
Kalman adopted a vernacular style as a way to protest corporate International Style which was the primary design style of the time.
This perspective was communicated through bold graphic design, typography, and juxtaposition of photographs and doctored images, including a series in which highly recognizable figures such as the Pope and Queen Elizabeth were depicted as racial minorities.
The program included comedians, musicians, entertaining films (such as a film of dance in South America), and a long, live commercial for the sponsor's products.
Such famous names as Doodles Weaver, Bert Lahr, Dennis Day, Anton Reiter, Jerry Colonna, Peggy Lee and Joe Besser appeared on the program.
Another factor was that James Petrillo, president of the American Federation of Musicians forbade musicians from performing on television without an agreement between the AFM and the networks, thus limiting directors and performers to use of recorded music and lip sync.
They later joined the Thurrock Combination, winning the League Cup in 1952–53 and the league and League Cup double in 1955–56.
In 1964 the league merged with the Aetolian League to form the Greater London League, with the club placed in the A division.
In 1971 the Greater London League merged with the Metropolitan League to form the Metropolitan–London League, with Canvey Island placed in Division One.
After winning the league and League Cup again under Jeff King in 1992–93, a season which also saw the club reach the semi-finals of the FA Vase, they moved up to Division Three of the Isthmian League in 1994.
They also reached the first round of the FA Cup for the first time, eventually losing 4–1 to Brighton in a replay.
Although Canvey Island were relegated back to Division Two at the end of the 1996–97 season, they were Division Two champions in 1997–98 and Division One champions in 1998–99 as successive promotions saw them reach the league's Premier Division.
In 2000–01 they finished as league runners-up, and also reached the second round of the FA Cup; the first round saw them beat Second Division Port Vale 2–1 in a replay at Vale Park after a 4–4 draw at Park Lane.
In the second round the club were drawn at home to near-neighbours Third Division Southend United; in a game switched to Southend's Roots Hall, they lost 2–1.
However, the club's biggest success came in the FA Trophy, where they reached the final at Villa Park after beating three teams from the Football Conference.
In the final the club beat favourites Forest Green Rovers 1–0, becoming the first team from the Isthmian League to win the competition for 20 years.
The following season saw them finish as Premier Division runners-up again, as well as reaching the third round of the 2001–02.
After winning 1–0 against Football League clubs Wigan Athletic and Northampton Town in both the first and second round, they lost 4–1 at Burnley in the third round.
In 2002–03 Canvey Island finished as Premier Division runners-up for a third consecutive season, but the following year saw them win the division to earn promotion to the Conference National.
The season had also seen them reach the FA Cup first round for a third time (again drawn to face Southend, they lost 3–2 in a replay at Park Lane after a 1–1 draw at Roots Hall) and the FA Trophy final, where they lost 3–2 to Hednesford Town.
After two seasons at the fifth level, King decided the poor attendances did not justify continued investment in the club and they took voluntary demotion to Division One North of the Isthmian League.
After defeating AFC Sudbury 3–2 in the semi-finals, they beat Redbridge 5–4 on penalties in the final after the match had ended 1–1 and were promoted back to the Premier Division.
Canvey Island were relegated back to the (renamed) North Division at the end of the 2016–17 season after finishing third-from-bottom of the Premier Division.
In the summer of 2018 it was announced that the club would also be hosting the home matches of Benfleet F.C.
Located in Laconia, in the Peloponnese, it used to form part of the municipal unit of Faris until 31 December 2010.
Since 1 January 2011, as part of the Kallikratis reform, it is one of the local communities of the municipality of Sparta.
These findings support the conclusion that the site has been since ancient times a stop on the road connecting Sparta and Messenia.
Folk tradition has it that Constantine Kolokotronis (father of famed hero Theodoros Kolokotronis) had sought refuge in this cave after being wounded defending the tower of the nearby village of Kastania, at the side of fellow revolutionary Panagiotaros Venetsanakos, a Maniot from Mesa Mani.
There are, however, positive signs of increased activity: the number of visits from emigrant Arniotes is on the rise, year round.
The Lingones were a Celtic tribe that originally lived in Gaul in the area of the headwaters of the Seine and Marne rivers.
Some of the Lingones migrated across the Alps and settled near the mouth of the Po River in Cisalpine Gaul of northern Italy around 400 BC.
The Gaulish Lingones were thoroughly Romanized by the 1st century, living in a rich and urbanized society in the region of Langres and Dijon and minting coins, but getting caught up in the Batavian rebellion (69 AD), described by Tacitus.
It was built on a rocky promontory above the Marne River, and still preserves some of its medieval fortifications, which afford panoramic views of the Marne Valley, the Langres plateau and the Vosges.
In Roman Britain, two cohorts of Lingones, probably subscripted from among the Lingones who had remained in the area of Langres and Dijon are attested in the 2nd and 3rd centuries, from dedicatory inscriptions and stamped tiles.
Contemporary advertising pointed out that it could fit under the seat in an airplane, with dimensions of 12 by 16 by 6 inches (321 by 413 by 159 mm).
Due to technical problems with prototypes and the corporate bankruptcy, by the time the CP/M Vixen was introduced, it had already been made obsolete by MS-DOS IBM PC compatibles.
A last ditch effort to design and market a fully IBM PC compatible produced three prototypes, but too late to save the company from bankruptcy.
An amalgam of several creatures, including monitor lizards, pythons and the Chinese alligator, the polymorphic dragon was a water spirit, responsible for bringing the rains and thus ensuring the survival of crops.
This latter feature most likely resulted from the observation of the living reptilian counterparts which, usually at rest, seem to be in a near constant state of contemplation.
Certain very old men were called dragons, these being well versed in the life-supporting skills of herbal medicine, agriculture, and kung fu.
In early China, these skills were surely a matter of life or death, and those so educated were held in high regard.
The history of Southern Dragon style has historically been transmitted orally rather than by text, so its origins will probably never be known in their entirety.
Modern Southern Dragon style's history can be reliably traced back to the monk Daai Yuk Sim Si who was the abbot of Wa Sau Toi (White Hair) temple on Mount Luofu.
Southern Dragon style has roots in a combination of the local styles of the Hakka heartland in inland eastern Guangdong with the style that the monk Ji Sin Sim Si taught in Guangdong and the neighboring province of Fujian in the 18th century.
North of the Dongjiang in the northwest of Bóluó (博羅) County in the prefecture of Huizhou in Guangdong Province is the sacred mountain Luófúshān.
Luófúshān is the site of many temples, including Wa Sau Toi where, c. 1900, a Chan (Zen) master named Daai Yuk taught Southern Dragon style to Lam Yiu Gwai (1874-1965), who in turn passed the art on to the many students of his schools in Guangzhou.
Lam Yiu Gwai and Jeung Lai Chuen (1880-1966) were good friends from their youth in the Dongjiang region of Huizhou, longtime training partners and later cousins by marriage.
Lam and Jeung would open several schools together, and Southern Dragon style and Jeung's style of Bak Mei share many similarities.
A variation of the Southern Dragon style is taught by the Long Choo Kung Fu Society based in Penang, Malaysia and with branches in Australia.
Founded by Li Ah Yu and his father near the turn of the 20th century, this association claims it is teaching a Soft/ Hard Dragon style originating from Fukkien province.
Southern Dragons kung fu is essential LU an internal, qi (pronounced chi) cultivation method, buy initialisation training is far more like a hard, external style, than the delicate approach an internal (like it's chi ch'uan or baguazhang) would have.
In leaning the moves, there student will strike hard, block hard and stomping into each position, with the idea of learning the properties place to be once each movement is complete.
Eventually, the method of transmittance power is retained, and the physically strengthened body is able to make transitions in the proper, fluid manner.
Once a purely physical semblance to flow has been mastered, the disciple incorporates the deep hissing sounds to train chi flow.
Qi control is highly developed, and the degree to which the body must be moved to redirect or avoid impact is under greater control.
Unlike Crane, which also relies heavily upon evasion as a tactic, the Dragon evades primarily by rotation of upper or lower torso with little or no stance movements, while the Crane stylist hops frequently to reposition the entire body.
Both styles employ pinpoint strikes to vulnerable meridian targets, but dragon also heavily uses tiger-like punches and clawing techniques, snake-like stance shifts, and leopard-like hit and run strikes to weaken a physically superior adversary.
Southern Dragon kung fu also regularly employs low sweeping techniques, but these are not unique; most senior stylists of any kung fu system use these on a weakened adversary.
The southern dragon stylist relies on a variety of fighting techniques that can be employed for a wide range of needs.
The style uses techniques that can cripple or kill an opponent if the need arises or it can be used simply to control a minor street fighting situation.
Lung Ying (Dragon form) focuses mainly on powerful, short range attacks, as is common among southern Chinese styles of kung fu.
The style was created as an aggressive combat art and operates under the basic assumption that you are trying to either disable your opponent to the point that they are no longer a threat in battle, or kill them, though these are not by any means the only options a Lung Ying practitioner has.
As such Lung Ying employs a large number of techniques to damage the opponent's joints either through joint manipulation or direct striking; nullify the opponent's defenses either through breaking their stance or compromising their guard, and thus their ability to defend; and others.
Like most southern style kung fu, it has limited kicks and jumps and consisted mainly of fist, palm and clawing techniques.
Depending on the particular school any of a fairly large pool of traditional training methods will be used to toughen the body.
Three, five and seven star conditioning drills, pea buckets, weighted ropes, sand bags, and striking poles are all common in Lung Ying schools.
It really isn't possible to separate Lung Ying conditioning from its methods, the two work hand in hand, each needing the other to be completely effective.
For example, when striking with the fist, more power can be exerted when the movement originates from the feet, is guided by the waist, flows through the body, and exits through the fist.
In Southern Dragon style, leg work is characterized by a zig-zag motion that mimics the imagined movement of the mythical Chinese dragon.
This also allows one to use floating and sinking movements which are very important in generating power and stability, making your body calm and relaxed.
However, the step is not taken directly forward but basically follows the angle the front foot is turned at (about 33 degrees).
This has the effect of moving the LY practitioner forward and off to an angle while offering some protection to the groin from attack.
This type of stepping allows a lung ying practitioner to press his opponent (usually used before the opponent's center has been taken) while launching attacks from angles that are difficult for the opponent to defend.
The LY practitioner seems to be constantly moving into an uncomfortable range and at an angle that forces their opponent to reposition their whole body to defend against, or else torque their torso around thus breaking their structure and disconnecting them from the power generation machinery of their lower body.
In this method the front foot moves forward and the rear foot drags up to get back to the basic position.
It will frequently be used once the LY practitioner has begun to press their attack in earnest or is exploiting some advantage.
Lake Tenkiller, created by damming the Illinois River beginning in 1947 with completion in 1953, has attracted tourists and fishermen to this once sparsely settled area.
Seventy miles of the river between Lake Tenkiller and the Arkansas border, flowing through the Cookson Hills, have been supervised by the Oklahoma Scenic Rivers Commission, currently headed by Ed Fite since 1970.
The spring-fed river rises in the Ozark Mountains in the northwest corner of Arkansas, in Washington County southwest of Fayetteville, near the communities of Hogeye and Onda.
The stream flows north parallel to Arkansas Highway 265 then turns northwest passing under U.S. Route 62 northeast of Prairie Grove.
It continues north-northwest passing under Arkansas Highway 16 west of Savoy and forming a portion of the east boundary of the Ozark–St.
In 1999, it was estimated to have brought in approximately 500,000 tourists and $9 million to the Oklahoma section of the river.
The upper section and its tributaries, Flint Creek and the Baron Fork, became a designated Scenic River under the Oklahoma Scenic Rivers Act in 1977. and home to many native species of bass with spring runs of white bass.
The river has been the source of a long-running controversy between the two states, with Oklahoma blaming Arkansas for pollution in the river, most notoriously phosphorus contamination by sewage and poultry farm runoff.
In 1987, wastewater discharge by the city of Fayetteville, Arkansas was identified as the source of a heavy load of phosphorus.
The suit went to the U. S. Supreme Court in 1992, which ruled that the upstream state must enforce the water quality rules of the downstream state.
The standard for scenic rivers was set at 0.037 mg/L In December 2003, an agreement was reached between the two states, with Arkansas agreeing to reduce phosphorus output from its waste water treatment plants by 75% over the next ten years, although it does not address poultry-farm runoff.
The report stated that phosphorus content in the river should be reduced by 40 percent to prevent lake water quality from declining further and by 80 percent to return the quality to its original condition.
The Oklahoma Water Resources Board reported in 2015, that phosphorus levels have been declining in the Illinois River and its tributaries on the Oklahoma side of the state line.
On October 1, 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) issued for public comment the water quality model for the Illinois River.
Clara Mary Jane Clairmont (27 April 1798 – 19 March 1879), or Claire Clairmont as she was commonly known, was the stepsister of writer Mary Shelley and the mother of Lord Byron's daughter Allegra.
In 2010 the identity of her father was discovered to be John Lethbridge (1746–1815, after 1804 Sir John Lethbridge, 1st Baronet) of Sandhill Park, near Taunton in Somerset.
This brought her two stepsisters: Godwin's daughter Mary (later Mary Shelley), only eight months her senior, and his stepdaughter Fanny Imlay, a couple of years older.
Both were the daughters of Mary Wollstonecraft, who had died four years before, but whose presence continued to be felt in the household.
Both parents were well-educated and they co-wrote children's primers on Biblical and classical history, published the Juvenile Library, and ran a bookshop.
Mary Jane Clairmont was a sharp-tongued woman who often quarrelled with Godwin and favoured her own children over her husband's daughters.
She contrived to send her volatile and emotionally intense daughter to boarding school for a time, thus providing her with more formal education than her stepsisters.
Her home life had become increasingly tense as her stepfather William Godwin sank deeper into debt and her mother's relations with Godwin's daughter Mary became more strained.
Clairmont aided her stepsister's clandestine meetings with Percy Bysshe Shelley, who had professed a belief in free love and soon left his own wife and two small children to be with Mary.
The three young people traipsed across war-torn France and into Switzerland, fancying themselves like characters in a romantic novel, as Mary Shelley later recalled, but always reading widely, writing, and discussing the creative process.
Any romantic designs Clairmont might have had on Shelley were frustrated initially, but she did bring the Shelleys into contact with Lord Byron, with whom she entered into an affair before he left England in 1816 to live abroad.
Clairmont later followed up her letters with visits, sometimes bringing Mary, whom she seemed to suggest Byron might also find attractive.
Byron, in a depressed state after the breakup of his marriage to Annabella Milbanke and the scandal over his relationship with his half-sister Augusta Leigh, made it very clear to Clairmont before he left that she would not be a part of his life.
She convinced Mary and Percy Shelley that they should follow Byron to Switzerland, where they met him and John William Polidori, Byron's personal physician, at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva.
It is unknown whether Clairmont knew she was pregnant with Byron's child at the commencement of the trip, but it soon became apparent to both her travelling companions and to Byron not long after their arrival at his door.
At first he maintained his refusal of Clairmont's companionship and allowed her to be in his presence only in the company of the Shelleys; later, they resumed their sexual relationship for a time in Switzerland.
– a foolish girl – in spite of all I could say or do – would come after me – or rather went before me – for I found her here...
Clairmont would later say that her relationship with Byron had given her only a few minutes of pleasure, but a lifetime of trouble.
Clairmont took up residence in Bath and in January 1817 she gave birth to a daughter, Alba, whose name was eventually changed to Allegra.
Throughout the pregnancy, Clairmont had written long letters to Byron, pleading for his attention and a promise to care for her and the baby, sometimes making fun of his friends, reminding him how much he had enjoyed making love to her, and sometimes threatening suicide.
Clairmont felt that the future Byron could provide for their daughter would be greater than any she herself would be able to grant the child and, therefore, wished to deliver Allegra into his care.
He arranged to have Allegra delivered to his house in Venice and agreed to raise the child on the condition that Clairmont keep her distance from him.
Clairmont may have been sexually involved with Percy Bysshe Shelley at different periods, though Clairmont's biographers, Gittings and Manton, find no hard evidence.
Clairmont was also entirely in sympathy, more so than Mary, with Shelley's theories about free love, communal living, and the right of a woman to choose her own lovers and initiate sexual contact outside marriage.
Mary Shelley's early journals record several times when Clairmont and Shelley shared visions of Gothic horror and let their imaginings take flight, stirring each others' emotions to the point of hysteria and nightmares.
Mary Shelley revised this poem, completely altering the first two stanzas, when she included it in a posthumous collection of Shelley's works published in 1824.
At the time Shelley wrote the poem, in Pisa, Clairmont was living in Florence, and the lines may reveal how much he missed her.
I am perfectly convinced in my own mind that Shelley never had an improper connexion [sic] with Claire ... we lived in lodgings where I had momentary entrance into every room and such a thing could not have passed unknown to me ...
I do remember that Claire did keep to her bed there for two days – but I attended on her – I saw the physician – her illness was one that she had been accustomed to for years – and the same remedies were employed as I had before ministered to her in England.
In 1821, she wrote Byron a letter accusing him of breaking his promise that their daughter would never be apart from one of her parents.
Byron's seemingly callous treatment of the child was further vilified when Allegra died there at age five from a fever some scholars identify as typhus and others speculate was a malarial-type fever.
Shortly after Clairmont had introduced Shelley to Byron, she met Edward John Trelawny, who was to play a major role in the short remaining lives of both poets.
After Shelley's death, Trelawny sent her love letters from Florence pleading with her to marry him, but she was not interested.
She paid for Clairmont to travel to her brother's home in Vienna where she stayed for a year, before relocating to Russia, where she worked as a governess from 1825 to 1828.
Still, what Clairmont longed for most of all was privacy and peace and quiet, as she complained in letters to Mary Shelley.
She returned to England in 1828, but remained there only a short while before departing for Dresden, where she was employed as a companion and housekeeper.
But in our family, if you cannot write an epic or novel, that by its originality knocks all other novels on the head, you are a despicable creature, not worth acknowledging.
In 1841, after Mary Jane Godwin's death, Clairmont moved to Pisa, where she lived with Margaret King (officially Lady Margaret Mount Cashell but known as Mrs Mason), an old pupil of Mary Wollstonecraft.
She considered making her home with him and financially supported some of his endeavours, for example with £500 towards the purchase of a farm.
Title insurance is a form of indemnity insurance predominantly found in the United States and Canada which insures against financial loss from defects in title to real property and from the invalidity or unenforceability of mortgage loans.
Unlike some land registration systems in countries outside the United States, US states' recorders of deeds generally do not guarantee indefeasible title to those recorded titles.
Title insurance will defend against a lawsuit attacking the title or reimburse the insured for the actual monetary loss incurred up to the dollar amount of insurance provided by the policy.
Just as lenders require fire insurance and other types of insurance coverage to protect their investment, nearly all institutional lenders also require title insurance to protect their interest in the collateral of loans secured by real estate.
A loan policy provides no coverage or benefit for the buyer/owner and so the decision to purchase an owner policy is independent of the lender's decision to require a loan policy.
Title insurance is available in many other countries, such as Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Mexico, New Zealand, Japan, China, Korea and throughout Europe.
However, while a substantial number of properties located in these countries are insured by U.S. title insurers, they do not constitute a significant share of the real estate transactions in those countries.
In many cases these are properties to be used for commercial purposes by U.S. companies doing business abroad, or properties financed by U.S lenders.
The U.S. companies involved buy title insurance to obtain the security of a U.S. insurer backing up the evidence of title that they receive from the other country's land registration system, and payment of legal defense costs if the title is challenged.
Prior to the invention of title insurance, buyers in real estate transactions bore sole responsibility for ensuring the validity of the land title held by the seller.
Plaintiff Watson had lost his investment in a real estate transaction as the result of a prior lien on the property.
Defendant Muirhead, the conveyancer, had discovered the lien prior to the sale but told Watson the title was clear after his lawyer had (erroneously) determined that the lien was not valid.
Joshua Morris, a conveyancer in Philadelphia, and several colleagues met on March 28, 1876 to incorporate the first title insurance company.
Under these systems, the government determines title ownership and encumbrances using its land registration; with only a few exceptions, the government's determination is conclusive.
Governmental errors lead to monetary compensation to the person damaged by the error but that aggrieved party usually cannot recover the property.
In the recording system, each time a land title transaction takes place, the parties record the transfer instrument with a local government recorder located in the jurisdiction (usually the county) where the land lies.
The government indexes the instrument by the names of the grantor (transferor) and the grantee (transferee) and photographs it so any member of the public can find and examine it.
If such a transaction goes unrecorded for any reason or length of time, an unscrupulous grantor could sell the property to another grantee.
In many states, the grantee whose transaction is recorded first becomes the legal owner, and any other would-be buyers are left without recourse.
Specifically, after a real estate sales contract has been executed and escrow opened, a title professional will search the public records to look for any problems with the home's title.
More than one-third of all title searches reveal a title problem that title professionals will insist on fixing before the transaction closes.
For instance, a previous owner may have had minor construction done on the property, but never fully paid the contractor (resulting in a mechanic's lien), or the previous owner may have failed to pay local or state taxes (resulting in a tax lien).
Title professionals seek to resolve problems like these before the transaction closes, since otherwise, their employer, the title insurer, will be required to fix such title defects by paying such unpaid fees or taxes.
Title insurance policies are fairly uniform, and backed by statutory reserves, which is especially important in large commercial real estate transactions where the buyer and their lender have a large amount of money at stake.
At least 20 U.S. states have experimented with Torrens title or other title registration systems at one time or another, but most have retreated to title recording under pressure from title insurers or from lack of interest.
According to Karl Llewellyn, one Torrens title on one lot in New York City can render the entire block unavailable for large-scale improvement (i.e., skyscrapers); no lender will finance the purchase of such a lot because no New York title insurer will guarantee a Torrens title.
The U.S. title insurance industry has successfully opposed land registration systems by saying that they are vulnerable to fraud (a severe problem in most land registration jurisdictions) and that an inherently contingent property system more effectively protects property rights.
While it is possible to fortify land registration systems to prevent the registration of forged deeds, the necessary countermeasures are complex and expensive.
The owner's policy assures a purchaser that the title to the property is vested in that purchaser and that it is free from all defects, liens and encumbrances except those listed as exceptions in the policy or are excluded from the scope of the policy's coverage.
One should inquire about the cost of title insurance before signing a real estate contract that provides that he pay for title charges.
A real estate attorney, broker, escrow officer (in the western states), or loan officer can provide detailed information as to the price of title search and insurance before the real estate contract is signed.
Title insurance coverage lasts as long as the insured retains an interest in the land insured and typically no additional premium is paid after the policy is issued.
Generally speaking, it follows the assignment of the mortgage loan, meaning that the policy benefits the purchaser of the loan if the loan is sold.
That market is made up of high volume purchasers such as Fannie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation as well as private institutions.
Elements 1 and 2 are important to the lender because they cover its expectations of the title it will receive if it must foreclose its mortgage.
Examples of the other coverages are loss from forged releases of the mortgage and loss resulting from encroachments of improvements on adjoining land onto the mortgaged property when the improvements are constructed after the loan is made.
Title insurance for construction loans require a Date Down endorsement that recognizes that the insured amount for the property has increased due to construction funds that have been vested into the property.
In the United States, the American Land Title Association (ALTA) is a national non-profit trade association representing the interests of nearly 4,500 title insurance companies, title agents, independent abstracters, title searchers and attorneys across the United States.
ALTA members conduct title searches, examinations, closings, and issue title insurance that protects real property owners and mortgage lenders against losses from defects in titles.
ALTA also offers special endorsement forms for the various policies; endorsements amend and typically broaden the coverage given under a basic title insurance policy.
Some states, including Texas and New York, may mandate the use of forms of title insurance policy jackets and endorsements approved by the state insurance commissioner for properties located in those jurisdictions, but these forms are usually similar or identical to ALTA forms.
In addition to ALTA, the National Association of Independent Land Title Agents (NAILTA) is a national non-profit trade association that represents the interests of independent title insurance agents and independent real estate settlement professionals from across the United States.
It was created by independent real estate settlement professionals to further the agenda of small business owners from within the title insurance, abstracting, surveying, and real estate community who lack representation at local, state and national levels.
NAILTA is a national trade association that serves thousands of independent title and real estate professionals across the United States who collectively comprise over 60% of the national title insurance market, and identify themselves as independent settlement service providers.
NAILTA represents the interests of those independent settlement service providers who serve over 31 million real estate purchase consumers per year, who close an estimated $514.8 billion's worth of refinance mortgages per year, and who collectively insure approximately $1.67 trillion in total national title insurance liability per year.
Where most insurance is a contract where the insurer indemnifies or guarantees another party against a possible specific type of loss (such as an accident or death) at a future date, title insurance generally insures against losses caused by title problems that have their source in past events.
This often results in the curing of title defects or the elimination of adverse interests from the title before a transaction takes place.
Title insurance companies attempt to achieve this by searching public records to develop and document the chain of title and to detect known claims against or defects in the title to the subject property.
If liens or encumbrances are found, the insurer may require that steps be taken to eliminate them (for example, obtaining a release of an old mortgage or deed of trust that has been paid off, or requiring the payoff, or satisfying involuntary liens such as abstracts of judgment and tax liens) before issuing the title policy.
Title insurance companies also have the ability to discharge ancient mortgages under the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (RPAPL) in New York.
Title plants are sometimes maintained to index the public records geographically, with the goal of increasing searching efficiency and reducing claims.
In some states title plants are required to index the real-property records geographically and also maintain a name file for judgments, probates and other general matters.
The explanation above discloses another difference between title insurance and other types: title insurance premiums are not principally calculated on the basis of actuarial science, as is true in most other types of insurance.
Instead of correlating the probability of losses with their projected costs, title insurance seeks to eliminate the source of the losses through the use of the recording system and other underwriting practices.
The great majority of the premiums is used to finance the title research on each piece of property and to maintain the title plants used to efficiently do that research.
There is significant social utility in this approach as the result conforms with the expectations of most property purchasers and mortgage lenders.
Generally, they want the real estate they purchased or lent money on to have the title condition they expected when they entered the transaction, rather than money compensation and litigation over unexpected defects.
There are several matters that can affect the title to land that are not disclosed by the recording system but that are covered by the policies.
Some examples are deeds executed by minors or mentally incompetent persons, forged instruments (in some cases), corporate instruments executed without the proper corporate authority and errors in the public records.
A more significant percentage of losses paid by the insurers are the result of errors and omissions in the title examining process itself.
In an April 2007 United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) Report on Title Insurance, the GAO recommended that state and federal legislators and regulators improve consumers ability to shop for title insurance based on price, encourage price competition, and ensure consumers are paying reasonable prices for title insurance.
A federal law called the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) entitles an individual homeowner to choose a title insurance company when purchasing or refinancing residential property.
Typically, homeowners do not make this decision for themselves and instead rely on their bank's or attorney's choice; however, the homeowner retains the right to choose a different insurer.
Doing so is a violation of federal law and any person or business doing so can be fined or lose its license.
Section 9 of RESPA prohibits a seller from requiring the buyer to use a particular title insurance company, either directly or indirectly, as a condition of sale.
Buyers may sue a seller who violates this provision for an amount equal to three times all charges made for the title insurance.
The new Loan Estimate form (LE) is the latest step taken by Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to protect and assist consumers.
If a loan originator does not provide the LE within 3 business days of receiving a completed loan application, it is in violation of Section 5 of RESPA.
When a lender, real estate broker, or other participant refers his homebuyer to an affiliate for a settlement service (such as when a real estate broker refers his homebuyer to a mortgage broker affiliate), the law requires the referring party to provide an affiliated business arrangement disclosure.
Despite advances in technology that allow homebuyers to shop for title services, many homebuyers remain unaware that they may select their own title insurance or settlement company.
A recent survey from the Ohio Association of Independent Title Agents (OAITA), conducted from 2009 through 2010, showed when homebuyers are made fully aware of ABAs, they become uncomfortable and prefer a title company or title agent to be a third party (i.e., independent) to the transaction.
While 77% of respondents did not independently select their settlement company, when made fully aware of the ABA relationships 50% of respondents said they prefer a title company that does not share profits with a referral source compared to 6% of respondents saying they prefer a title agent that shares profits with a referral source.
The OAITA stands in stark contrast to two Harris Interactive surveys used by the Real Estate Services Providers Council in a January 2011 meeting with Federal Reserve staff to claim that homebuyers were more satisfied with the ABA settlement service providers.
Like the rates for other forms of insurance, rates for title insurance usually are regulated by state governments to ensure that premiums are not excessive, inadequate or unfairly discriminatory to the public.
The rates may include discounts if title insurance is ordered within a specified time after the last policy issued or if the mortgage being insured is a refinance of an earlier mortgage.
In the states employing any of these regulations, it is illegal for title insurance companies to charge a higher or lower rate than the regulated rate.
This means the majority of the premium dollar, about 80 percent, covers the work performed by title professionals, such as the search examination, curative work, policy issuance and, frequently, the settlement or closing.
The remaining 20 percent covers the insurance policy, a significant portion of which is put into reserves for claims that could occur 10 or 20 years in the future.
According to a 2006 survey by ALTA, title problems that required curative action were found in 36 percent of all residential real estate transactions in 2005.
In those states, title insurers may also charge search or abstracting fees for searching the public records, or examination fees to compensate them for the title examination.
They are also not part of the title insurance premium, though the title insurer may include those fees within its invoice as a convenience to the attorney rendering the opinion.
Similarly, fees for closing a sale or mortgage transaction are not regulated in most states though the charge for closing may appear in the invoice disclosing the total charges for the transaction.
The title industry is highly dependent on real estate markets, which, in turn, are highly sensitive to mortgage interest rates and the overall economic well-being.
As the surge in real estate transactions drove up title insurance revenue—along with a greater incidence of claims—the economic downturn that started in 2007 pared back revenue significantly for several years.
To compare, the industry reported nearly $17 billion in title insurance premiums in 2005, but volume fell to $9.6 billion in 2009.
In 2012, according to ALTA, the industry paid out about $908 million in claims, about 8.1% percent of the $11.2 billion taken in as premiums.
By comparison, the boiler insurance industry, which like title insurance requires an emphasis on inspections and risk analysis, pays 25% of its premiums in claims.
As mentioned above, professionals in the land title industry seek to prevent claims through up-front preventive measures before a policy is issued and therefore the industry's claims ratio is different from other lines of insurance.
According to the statutory accounting rules for title insurance, only reported claims are reflected in the loss expense, while in other lines—both reported and unreported claims are included in the loss expense.
As a result, timing differences occur in the reporting of losses and loss-adjustment expenses for title insurance when compared to other lines.
In these states, the title insurance companies lobby state legislators and other politicians and donate to their campaigns, in the hopes of maintaining the rates high.
Unlike other forms of insurance (such as life, medical, or home owners), title insurance is not paid for annually, as it has one payment for the term of the policy, which is in effect until the property is resold or refinanced.
The following discloses the relative 2012 market shares among the four U.S. national families of title insurers (Fidelity National Financial, First American, Stewart, and Old Republic), and the regional companies, i.e., those not affiliated with the national families.
As of January 2009, Fidelity National Financial held the highest market share, due to its acquisition of LandAmerica's Commonwealth Land Title, Lawyers Title, and United Capital Title units subsequent to LandAmerica's declaration of bankruptcy.
Electromigration is the transport of material caused by the gradual movement of the ions in a conductor due to the momentum transfer between conducting electrons and diffusing metal atoms.
The earliest commercially available ICs failed in a mere three weeks of use from runaway electromigration, which led to a major industry effort to correct this problem.
Since reliability is critically important for space travel, military purposes, anti-lock braking systems, medical equipment like Automated External Defibrillators and is even important for personal computers or home entertainment systems, the reliability of chips (ICs) is a major focus of research efforts.
Although electromigration damage ultimately results in failure of the affected IC, the first symptoms are intermittent glitches, and are quite challenging to diagnose.
As some interconnects fail before others, the circuit exhibits seemingly random errors, which may be indistinguishable from other failure mechanisms (such as electrostatic discharge damage).
In a laboratory setting, electromigration failure is readily imaged with an electron microscope, as interconnect erosion leaves telltale visual markers on the metal layers of the IC.
With increasing miniaturization, the probability of failure due to electromigration increases in VLSI and ULSI circuits because both the power density and the current density increase.
However, as current reduction is constrained by increasing frequencies, the more marked decrease in cross-sectional areas (compared to current reduction) will give rise to increased current densities in ICs going forward.
However, electromigration (EM) continues to be an ever-present challenge to device fabrication, and therefore the EM research for copper interconnects is ongoing (though a relatively new field).
When operated within the manufacturer's specified temperature and voltage range, a properly designed IC device is more likely to fail from other (environmental) causes, such as cumulative damage from gamma-ray bombardment.
By replacing the bad component with that of a different supplier, WD was able to correct the flaw, but not before significant damage to the company's reputation.
Electromigration can be a cause of degradation in some power semiconductor devices such as low voltage power MOSFETs, in which the lateral current through the source contact metallisation (often aluminium) can reach the critical current densities during overload conditions.
The shape of the conductor, the crystallographic orientation of the grains in the metal, procedures for the layer deposition, heat treatment or annealing, characteristics of the passivation and the interface to other materials also affect the durability of the interconnects.
Electromigration can also cause the atoms of a conductor to pile up and drift toward other nearby conductors, creating an unintended electrical connection known as a hillock failure or whisker failure (short circuit).
In a homogeneous crystalline structure, because of the uniform lattice structure of the metal ions, there is hardly any momentum transfer between the conduction electrons and the metal ions.
However, this symmetry does not exist at the grain boundaries and material interfaces, and so here momentum is transferred much more vigorously.
Since the metal ions in these regions are bonded more weakly than in a regular crystal lattice, once the electron wind has reached a certain strength, atoms become separated from the grain boundaries and are transported in the direction of the current.
In general, grain boundary diffusion is the major electromigration process in aluminum wires, whereas surface diffusion is dominant in copper interconnects.
In an ideal conductor, where atoms are arranged in a perfect lattice structure, the electrons moving through it would experience no collisions and electromigration would not occur.
In real conductors, defects in the lattice structure and the random thermal vibration of the atoms about their positions causes electrons to collide with the atoms and scatter, which is the source of electrical resistance (at least in metals; see electrical conduction).
However, in high-power situations (such as with the increasing current draw and decreasing wire sizes in modern VLSI microprocessors), if many electrons bombard the atoms with enough force to become significant, this will accelerate the process of electromigration by causing the atoms of the conductor to vibrate further from their ideal lattice positions, increasing the amount of electron scattering.
High current density increases the number of electrons scattering against the atoms of the conductor, and hence the speed at which those atoms are displaced.
In integrated circuits, electromigration does not occur in semiconductors directly, but in the metal interconnects deposited onto them (see semiconductor device fabrication).
Electromigration is exacerbated by high current densities and the Joule heating of the conductor (see electrical resistance), and can lead to eventual failure of electrical components.
where formula_3 is the atom concentration at the point with a coordinates formula_4 at the moment of time formula_5, and formula_6 is the total atomic flux at this location.
Assuming a vacancy mechanism for atom diffusion we can express formula_25 as a function of the hydrostatic stress formula_26 where formula_27 is the effective activation energy of the thermal diffusion of metal atoms.
At the end of the 1960s J. R. Black developed an empirical model to estimate the MTTF (mean time to failure) of a wire, taking electromigration into consideration.
Here formula_29 is a constant based on the cross-sectional area of the interconnect, formula_30 is the current density, formula_31 is the activation energy (e.g.
0.7 eV for grain boundary diffusion in aluminum), formula_32 is the Boltzmann's constant, formula_33 is the temperature in kelvins, and formula_34 a scaling factor (usually set to 2 according to Black).
For an interconnect to remain reliable as the temperature rises, the maximum tolerable current density of the conductor must necessarily increase.
Historically, aluminium has been used as conductor in integrated circuits, due to its good adherence to substrate, good conductivity, and ability to form ohmic contacts with silicon.
The effect is attributed to the grain boundary segregation of copper, which greatly inhibits the diffusion of aluminium atoms across grain boundaries.
This is mainly due to the higher electromigration activation energy levels of copper, caused by its superior electrical and thermal conductivity as well as its higher melting point.
Further improvements can be achieved by alloying copper with about 1% palladium which inhibits diffusion of copper atoms along grain boundaries in the same way as the addition of copper to aluminium interconnect.
Also, the metal grain size has influence; the smaller grains, the more grain boundaries and the higher likelihood of electromigration effects.
This apparent contradiction is caused by the perpendicular position of the grain boundaries; the boundary diffusion factor is excluded, and material transport is correspondingly reduced.
However, the maximum wire width possible for a bamboo structure is usually too narrow for signal lines of large-magnitude currents in analog circuits or for power supply lines.
Here, the widths of the individual metal structures in between the slots lie within the area of a bamboo structure, while the resulting total width of all the metal structures meets power requirements.
Here, a mechanical stress buildup causes an atom back flow process which reduces or even compensates the effective material flow towards the anode.
Particular attention must be paid to vias and contact holes.The current carrying capacity of a via is much less than a metallic wire of same length.
Hence multiple vias are often used, whereby the geometry of the via array is very significant: multiple vias must be organized such that the resulting current is distributed as evenly as possible through all the vias.
In particular, 90-degree corner bends must be avoided, since the current density in such bends is significantly higher than that in oblique angles (e.g., 135 degrees).
The complete mathematical model describing electromigration consists of several partial differential equations (PDEs) which need to be solved for three-dimensional geometrical domains representing segments of an interconnect structure.
Results of TCAD studies in combination with reliability tests lead to modification of design rules improving the interconnect resistance to electromigration.
The Electromigration-aware lifetime of the power grid interconnects as well as the chip decreases if the chip suffers from a high value of the IR drop noise.
The current in a wire is the velocity of the electrons multiplied by the charge and number per unit length, formula_36 or formula_37.
13, referred to as Cameron Bar 13 for census purposes, is an Indian Reserve in the Fraser Canyon region of the Canadian province of British Columbia.
It is under the administration of the Lytton First Nation based in nearby Lytton, 15 miles to the south, which is a band government of the Nlaka'pamux people.
The name of the reserve derives from that of Cameron Bar, a gold-bearing sandbar on the Fraser River below named during the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush of 1858-59.
Global optimization is a branch of applied mathematics and numerical analysis that attempts to find the global minima or maxima of a function or a set of functions on a given set.
It is usually described as a minimization problem because the maximization of the real-valued function formula_1 is obviously equivalent to the minimization of the function formula_2.
that is, finding formula_4 and a global minimizer in formula_5; where formula_6 is a (not necessarily convex) compact set defined by inequalities formula_11.
Finding the global minima of a function is far more difficult: analytical methods are frequently not applicable, and the use of numerical solution strategies often leads to very hard challenges.
In this work, a relationship between any continuous function formula_12 on a compact set formula_13 and its global minima formula_4 has been strictly established.
Such procedures are popularly used to find integer solutions to mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problems, as well as to solve general, not necessarily differentiable convex optimization problems.
A branch-and-bound algorithm consists of a systematic enumeration of candidate solutions by means of state space search: the set of candidate solutions is thought of as forming a rooted tree with the full set at the root.
Interval arithmetic, interval mathematics, interval analysis, or interval computation, is a method developed by mathematicians since the 1950s and 1960s as an approach to putting bounds on rounding errors and measurement errors in mathematical computation and thus developing numerical methods that yield reliable results.
It is mostly concerned with the study of ordered fields and ordered rings (in particular real closed fields) and their applications to the study of positive polynomials and sums-of-squares of polynomials.
That is, all the facts (distances between each destination point) needed to determine the optimal path to follow are known with certainty and the goal is to run through the possible travel choices to come up with the one with the lowest total distance.
However, let's assume that instead of wanting to minimize the total distance traveled to visit each desired destination, we wanted to minimize the total time needed to reach each destination.
As a result, to determine our optimal path we would want to use simulation - optimization to first understand the range of potential times it could take to go from one point to another (represented by a probability distribution in this case rather than a specific distance) and then optimize our travel decisions to identify the best path to follow taking that uncertainty into account.
Stochastic tunneling (STUN) is an approach to global optimization based on the Monte Carlo method-sampling of the function to be objectively minimized in which the function is nonlinearly transformed to allow for easier tunneling among regions containing function minima.
Parallel tempering, also known as replica exchange MCMC sampling, is a simulation method aimed at improving the dynamic properties of Monte Carlo method simulations of physical systems, and of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling methods more generally.
Sugita and Okamoto formulated a molecular dynamics version of parallel tempering: this is usually known as replica-exchange molecular dynamics or REMD.
In this way, thermodynamical properties such as the specific heat, which is in general not well computed in the canonical ensemble, can be computed with great precision.
Dog Soldiers is a 2002 horror film written, directed and edited by Neil Marshall, and starring Kevin McKidd, Sean Pertwee, and Liam Cunningham.
The woman gives the man a silver letter opener as a present; shortly afterward they are killed in their tent by unseen assailants.
It is revealed that Cooper is trying to join a special forces unit but fails when he refuses to shoot a dog in cold blood.
Four weeks later, a squad of six British soldiers, including Cooper, are dropped into the Scottish Highlands to carry out a training exercise against a Special Air Service unit.
He is rescued by Cooper and carried to a rural roadside where the group meets Megan, a zoologist who takes them to a lonely house belonging to an unknown family.
The soldiers maintain a desperate defense against the creatures, believing that if they can make it to sunrise, the werewolves will revert to human form.
After Terry is abducted and their ammunition runs short, they realize they will not last and decide to try to escape.
Joe drives up to the house door, but is then killed by a werewolf that was hiding in the back seat.
Under interrogation, Ryan reveals that the government had sent him on a mission to capture a live werewolf, so that it could be studied and exploited as a weapon; Cooper's squad was supposed to be the bait.
An enraged Wells and Cooper attempt to kill Ryan, but he transforms into a werewolf due to his wounds and escapes into the forest.
The soldiers try blowing up the barn - where Megan told them the werewolves must be hiding - with petrol, gas canisters, matches, and the Land Rover.
Once the structure has been destroyed, Megan reveals that not only were there no werewolves in the barn, but she is a werewolf, as well.
Wells and Cooper shoot through the floor upstairs to elude the werewolves, and drop into the kitchen, where they find Spoon's remains.
As he begins to transform into a werewolf, Wells orders Cooper to take shelter in the cellar and gives him a roll of photographic film (which was in a flashgun camera used to stun the werewolves) to prove what has happened.
The werewolves break into the kitchen and confront Wells as he cuts a gas line and blows up the house, killing himself and the werewolves.
After a brutal fight, Cooper stabs Ryan in the chest with the silver letter opener, weakening him enough to allow Cooper to shoot him in the head.
The project was later taken to AFM, where producer David E. Allen became interested in the project after seeing artwork and the script.
Production designer Simon Bowles created models of the house for Marshall to plan and structure where to set up cameras and where characters would run or climb onto the next set.
For the exterior set of the house, only the front portion was built early on and is the only part used in the film.
In addition to the credits in the infobox, the costume designer is Uli Simon, the casting directors are Jeremy Zimmerman and Andrea Clarke, the special makeup, animatronic and digital visual effects are by the company Image FX, and the physical-effects supervisor and stunt coordinator is Harry Wiessenhaan.
Principal photography was originally scouted and planned to commence in the Isle of Man due to its tax rebates but the idea fell through.
The film was shot in Luxembourg due to tax deals and having access to crew and student facilities provided by a company based in Luxembourg.
In 2002, the film won the Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film's Golden Raven, the festival's top award, as well as the audience prize, the Pegasus.
A Blu-ray edition (including a single-disc edition and a double-disc edition with a DVD copy) was released by First Look Studios on May 5, 2009, available only in the U.S. and Canada.
On March 14, 2019, with the original negative finally located, the German company Koch Media released the movie on video in a package including the movie, restored in 4K from the negative, on DVD, Blu-ray and UHD.
By 21 December 2008, however, information about the film had been removed from various web resources including the website of production company Kismet status.
A hall, wall, or walk of fame is a list of individuals, achievements, or animals, usually chosen by a group of electors, to mark their in their field.
In some cases, these halls of fame consist of actual halls or museums that enshrine the honorees with sculptures, plaques, and displays of memorabilia and general information regarding the inducted recipients.
In other cases, the hall of fame is more figurative and consists of a list of names of noteworthy people and their achievements and contributions.
The English-language term was popularised in the United States by the Hall of Fame for Great Americans at Bronx Community College, in New York City, in the form of a sculpture gallery completed in 1900 and officially announced in 1901.
The Walhalla memorial in Bavaria, Germany, is an earlier hall of fame, conceived in 1807 and built between 1830 and 1842.
With the exception of the last two tracks on the third disc, the album was recorded at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on the final night of the Vapor Trails Tour.
It is also the band's first live album that presents a single night's performance in its entirety (not counting the two bonus tracks).
At this concert, Rush played to 40,000, their second-largest crowd on the Vapor Trails Tour (the largest crowd was 60,000 at the show the previous night in São Paulo).

It is a biblical name from Acts of the Apostles (), which in the original Greek was , in which Tabitha ('gorgeous' in Greek) is a woman raised from the dead by Saint Peter.
The name was common in 18th century New England, and of those born between 1718 and 1745, ranked about 31st as most common female given names, about 0.56% of the population.
The name gained a resurgence in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s, when it was ranked among the 200 most popular names for girls.
The Crusader 101 was an electrically-operated toy car introduced in 1964 by Deluxe Reading of Elizabeth, New Jersey and produced through 1966.
Intended for sale in discount and grocery stores, the Crusader 101 was easily among the largest and most detailed toy cars on the market.
The front featured stacked, forward-sweeping headlights and slightly pointed hood reminiscent of Pontiacs of the period while the inwardly dished grille and crossbar resembled those used on early 1960s Mercurys.
The taillights strongly resembled those on 1948-1956 Cadillacs while the rear end and overall styling suggested the 1961 Lincoln Continental convertible rendered in molded red plastic.
It measured about three feet in length - or just under one meter - which allowed for some elaborate detail hitherto unseen in a toy car.
The trunk had storage space for a spare tire, jack and lug wrench which could be used to actually change a wheel.
Not only were the sun visors adjustable, the turn signal lever, steering wheel and gear selector could be moved as well.
A male driver figure was included with the car - in a relaxed pose at the wheel and was just as detailed as the car itself.
Despite its size and level of detail unusual for a toy car, the Crusader 101 was, first and foremost, a toy.
The windshield frame often warped with age as did the body - though to a much lesser degree - while the vacuum-plated chrome plastic parts tended to turn black.
The Crusader 101's size has always made it particularly desirable to Barbie collectors since it is well-proportioned to the fashion doll and will easily seat four of them.
In 1990, the line-up changed again with Terry Stanley on bass guitar, and Tim Denny on drums, they remained until the band split in 1992.
Kibble formed the Navahodads in 1995, which played swampy R&B, Country, and Rock n Roll, they released two albums and toured overseas.
Clint Malarchuk (born May 1, 1961) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockey goaltender who played in the National Hockey League (NHL) between 1981 and 1992.
Malarchuk is known for surviving a life-threatening injury during a 1989 NHL game when Steve Tuttle's skate blade sliced his carotid artery and partially sliced his jugular vein, causing immediate massive blood loss.
He then went on to play professionally in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Quebec Nordiques, Washington Capitals, and Buffalo Sabres, and in the International Hockey League (IHL) for the San Diego Gulls and Las Vegas Thunder.
Malarchuk made his NHL debut with the Nordiques on December 13, 1981, getting the start in goal in a road game against the Buffalo Sabres.
The Nordiques were dissatisfied with back-up goaltender Michel Plasse at the time and decided to give Malarchuk a look, in spite of his young age (he had just turned 20 a few months earlier).
He did well enough in his first game, a 4-4 tie, but the second one, two days later, was a lot tougher, as he faced the defending Stanley Cup champions, the New York Islanders.
The Nordiques favored a wide-open style of play at the time, and Malarchuk was left largely to his own devices and faced 37 shots, letting 10 goals past him, in a wild 10-7 loss, in what was the highest scoring game in the history of the Nassau Coliseum.
Having failed his audition, he was returned to the American Hockey League after that game and did not come back until the following season.
Quebec traded Plasse to the Hartford Whalers later that season in return for John Garrett, addressing the team's need for a reliable back-up goaltender for Dan Bouchard.
Malarchuk played sparingly in the NHL the next two seasons, then not at all in 1984-85, as he spent the majority of these three years with the Fredericton Express in the AHL.
He became the Nordiques' primary goaltender in 1985-86, keeping the job for two seasons, although there was continual controversy over whether he or local favorite Mario Gosselin should be the starter.
In a statistical quirk, during the 1984 NHL Playoffs, he was not credited with a game played but still was assessed with 15 penalty minutes.
In Game 6 of the Adams Division Finals against the Montréal Canadiens on April 20, he was handed both a major penalty and a game misconduct for leaving his team's bench to take part in an on-ice brawl.
He was traded to the Washington Capitals after the 1986-87 season alongside Dale Hunter in return for Gaëtan Duchesne, Alan Haworth and a first-round choice in the 1987 NHL Entry Draft that eventually landed the Nordiques Joe Sakic.
Then, on March 6, 1989, Malarchuk was traded to the Buffalo Sabres along with Grant Ledyard and a 1991 sixth round pick (Brian Holzinger) in exchange for Calle Johansson and a 1989 second-round pick (Byron Dafoe).
It was sixteen days later in just his sixth game with the Sabres that Malarchuk would suffer a notorious life-threatening neck injury.
During a game between the visiting St. Louis Blues and Malarchuk's Buffalo Sabres on March 22, 1989, Steve Tuttle of the Blues and Uwe Krupp of the Sabres crashed hard into the goal crease during play.
As they collided, Tuttle's skate blade hit the right front side of Malarchuk's neck, severing his carotid artery and partially cutting his jugular vein.
With blood gushing out of Malarchuk's neck onto the ice, he was able to leave the ice on his own feet with the assistance of his team's athletic trainer, Jim Pizzutelli.
The excessive amount of blood that Malarchuk lost caused eleven fans to faint, two more to have heart attacks, and three players to vomit on the ice.
Local television cameras covering the game cut away from the sight of Malarchuk bleeding after noticing what had happened, and Sabres announcers Ted Darling and Mike Robitaille were audibly shaken.
At the production room of the national cable sports highlight show, a producer scrolled his tape back to show the event to two other producers, who were both horrified by the sight.
Aware that his mother had been watching the game on TV, he had an equipment manager call and tell her he loved her.
Malarchuk's life was saved due to quick action by the Sabres' athletic trainer, Jim Pizzutelli, a former US Army combat medic who served in the Vietnam War.
He gripped Malarchuk's neck and pinched off the blood vessel, not letting go until doctors arrived to begin stabilizing the wound.
He led Malarchuk off the ice then applied extreme pressure by kneeling on his collarbone—a procedure designed to produce a low breathing rate and low metabolic state, which is preferable to exsanguination.
Malarchuk was conscious and talking on the way to the hospital, and jokingly asked paramedics if they could bring him back in time for the third period.
On February 10, 2008, coincidentally again in Buffalo, Florida Panthers forward Richard Zedník suffered an injury similar to Malarchuk's after Olli Jokinen's skate blade cut the front of Zedník's neck, lacerating his common carotid artery, causing immediate massive blood loss.
Although Malarchuk initially refused to view the footage, upon viewing it, he was taken aback, saying that he didn't think his memory of his own incident would come back after nearly 20 years.
After this, he struggled with obsessive-compulsive disorder (as he had since a young age), as well as nightmares and alcoholism, but he remained in pro hockey in the International Hockey League.
The following season he became starting goaltender for the Las Vegas Thunder, appearing in 56 games and accumulating a record of 34-10-7.
Malarchuk served as head coach and assistant general manager of the Las Vegas Thunder in the 1998-99 season and the Idaho Steelheads until 2000.
On June 17, 2014, the Calgary Flames announced they parted ways with Malarchuk and were searching for a new goaltending coach.
After his playing career, Malarchuk settled on a ranch near Carson City, Nevada (later Gardnerville, Nevada), where he and his wife at the time raised three kids.
He was depicted riding bareback in a front-page newspaper photo while playing for the Washington Capitals, and he was later given horses as a contractual bonus with the Las Vegas Thunder.
Following its release, Clint and Joan Malarchuk were public speakers about topics covered in the book such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, support for alcoholics in recovery, suicide prevention, and psychological trauma.
They showed the video footage of his sports injury to the audience with the advice that it is potentially triggering to people who are uncomfortable with images of blood and trauma.Malarchuk and his wife now travel and engage in a number of league-related and independent events having to do with mental health, OCD, and depression in retired athletes.
On October 7, 2008, Malarchuk suffered what, according to his wife, Joan, was a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his chin from a .22 caliber rifle at his residence in Fish Springs, Nevada, after a period of stress and domestic problems.
The incident was initially described as an accident while hunting rabbits, but both the goalie and his wife have since admitted it was a suicide attempt.
Officers and paramedics at the scene reported that Malarchuk, who was bleeding from both his mouth and chin, was uncooperative and refused treatment.
Joan Malarchuk said she sat with her husband and comforted him because she was afraid he would lash out again and get shot by police.
Malarchuk was later flown to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno for treatment and released less than a week after the shooting.
The Canadian Press reported that Joan informed authorities that her husband was not supposed to consume alcohol as he was on prescription medications for obsessive-compulsive disorder, but was doing so anyway at the time of the shooting.
Malarchuk later said he believed he was overmedicated dating back to when he was prescribed an anti-psychotic sedative while playing pro hockey in San Diego.
Jingshan Park is an imperial park covering immediately north of the Forbidden City in the Imperial City area of Beijing, China.
Formerly a private imperial garden attached to the grounds of the Forbidden City, the grounds were opened to the public in 1928.
The high artificial hill was constructed in the Yongle era of the Ming dynasty entirely from the soil excavated in forming the moats of the Imperial Palace and nearby canals.
It is also well known to locals as Coal Hill, from an old rumor that the emperors kept a hidden stash in the park.
The Chongzhen Emperor, the last ruler of the Ming dynasty, committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree in Jingshan in 1644 after Beijing fell to Li Zicheng's rebel forces.
However, until 1928 the park sat directly by the moat and was accessible on the south side only from the Forbidden City via the Gate of Divine Might.
The Gate of Divine Might became the back door of the Palace Museum, and the front gate of Jingshan Park now stood to the north of the new road.
The park has four entrances, one in each of the cardinal directions, but only three are currently open to the public.
The south entrance is located across Jingshan Front Street from the Forbidden City and is accessible by Beijing Bus routes 101, 103, 109, 124, 202, 211, 609 and 685.
The west entrance on Jingshan West Street and Doushan Street is a short walk from the east gate of Beihai Park and is accessible by Bus routes 5 and 609.
It is at the T-intersection between Jingshan Back Street and Di'anmen Inner Street and is accessible by Bus routes 5, 111, 124 and 609.
The Argyle Diamond Mine is a diamond mine located in the East Kimberley region in the remote north of Western Australia.
Argyle is the fourth-largest diamond producer in the world by volume, although due to the low proportion of gem-quality diamonds it is set to close by 2020.
On June 21, 2015, after more than 11 years and 42 kilometres of tunnelling, the Argyle underground block cave development was officially completed.
The Argyle diamond mine is also notable for being the first successful commercial diamond mine exploiting a volcanic pipe of lamproite, rather than the more usual kimberlite pipe; much earlier attempts to mine diamonds from a lamproite pipe in Arkansas, USA were commercially unsuccessful.
The Argyle mine is owned by the Rio Tinto Group, a diversified mining company which also owns the Diavik Diamond Mine in Canada and the Murowa Diamond Mine in Zimbabwe.
The mine site covers about , stretching in a mostly linear shape about 1600 m (5,200 ft) long and 150 to 600 m (500 to 2,000 ft) wide.
The Argyle diamond mine is located in the Kimberley region in the far northeast of the Australian state of Western Australia.
Small quantities of alluvially deposited diamonds have been known in Australia since the late 19th century, first found by prospectors searching for gold.
Tanganyika Holdings had employed Maureen Muggeridge and formed a joint venture called Ashton Joint Venture, after minerals which indicated the presence of diamonds were found in 1976.
Over the following three years, the deposit was assessed for economic viability, and in 1983 the decision was made to commence mining operations.
Alluvial mining operations commenced immediately, while the open pit mine was constructed over a period of 18 months at a cost of A$450 million.
At the margins of the volcanic pipe the lamproite is mixed with a volcanic breccia containing shattered wall rock fragments mixed and milled by the eruption.
Diamonds are found within the intact core of the volcanic pipe, as well as within some of the marginal breccia facies and maar facies.
The diamonds found at the Argyle pipe have been dated to about 1.58 billion years of age, while the volcano which created the pipe is aged between 1.1 and 1.2 billion years old.
This represents a relatively short period during which diamond formation could have taken place (around 400 million years), which may explain the small average size and unusual physical characteristics of Argyle diamonds.
Diamonds found in the Argyle pipe are predominantly eclogitic, meaning that the carbon is of organic origin (see Natural history of diamonds).
In addition to the pipe itself, a number of semipermanent streams have eroded away portions of the pipe and created significant alluvial deposits of diamonds.
Argyle is the fourth-largest diamond producing mine in the world by volume, averaging annual production of 8 million carats (1,600 kg).
These diamonds are usually difficult to sell, although Rio Tinto has seen some success in a decade-long marketing campaign to promote brown diamonds as champagne and cognac toned.
In contrast, the company has no problems selling diamonds in pink, purple, and red tones, which are very rare and in high demand, therefore commanding premium prices.
Once diamonds are removed from the ore and acid washed, they are sorted and shipped to Perth for further sorting and sale.
A significant quantity of diamonds are cut in India, where low costs of labour allow small diamonds to be cut for a profit; this is especially relevant to the Argyle mine, which on average produces smaller rough diamonds than other mines do.
Despite the low production volume of pink and red diamonds, the Argyle mine is the only reliable source in the world, producing 90 to 95% of all pink and red diamonds.
Most Argyle diamonds are classified as type 1a (see material properties of diamond), and have low levels of nitrogen impurities, their colour resulting instead from structural defects of the crystal lattice.
Each year, a small collection of the best pink diamonds are offered in an exclusive sale known as the Argyle Pink Diamond Tender.
In 2016, the annual Argyle Tender became the highest selling tender in its 20-year history, according to the Diamond Investment & Intelligence Center.
Initial proven reserves of the Argyle mine were 61 million tonnes of ore, with an average ore grade of 6.8 carats (1.36 g) per ore tonne, about 400 million carats (80,000 kg).
Further estimated reserves of 14 million tonnes of ore, at a grade of 6.1 carats (1.22 g) per tonne (85 million carats, 17,000 kg), also existed.
As of 2001, reserves and resources in the open-pit mined area contain 220 million tonnes of 2.5 to 3.0 carat (500 to 600 mg) per tonne graded ore, sufficient to sustain current production rates until 2007.
The ore grades at the Argyle mine are unusually high, with most commercial diamond mines averaging grades of 0.3 to 1.0 carats (60 to 200 mg) per metric ton.
At the end of 1989 around 238 million tons of ore, with an estimated grade of 3.7 carats per ton were quoted as a resource.
Much of this resource was below the open-pit and was the subject of an underground mining study carried out in the mid 1990s.
In the late 1990s, part of the west wall of the open pit mine, containing 25 million tonnes of waste rock, began to collapse.
Argyle has just announced on March 2, 2018 that it's estimated Ore Reserves decreased by 13 Million tonnes to just 16Mt.
An exploration decline was constructed at a cost of A$70 million to evaluate the economics of mining diamonds from the diamondiferous pipes below the floor of the open pit; these reserves would be mined underground (by block caving), rather than the open pit method currently used.
The estimated value of Argyle diamond production is only US$7 per carat ($35/g); this compares to values of $70 per carat ($350/g) for diamonds produced at the Diavik mine and US$170 per carat ($850/g) at the Ekati mine, both in Canada.
This makes extraction economically feasible, as mine costs are mostly related to the amount of ore processed, not the amount of diamond extracted.
In 2005, Rio Tinto was given the go-ahead to a future expansion project, moving it from an open pit to an underground mine.
This plan was postponed; in September 2010 Rio Tinto announced fresh plans to develop an underground mine beneath the existing pit, increasing annual production to 9 million tonnes of ore.
The Block Cave is expected to operate until the end of 2020 using the latest in mining technology, including Sandvik's auto mining technology.
In numerical analysis, stochastic tunneling (STUN) is an approach to global optimization based on the Monte Carlo method-sampling of the function to be objective minimized in which the function is nonlinearly transformed to allow for easier tunneling among regions containing function minima.
The general idea of STUN is to circumvent the slow dynamics of ill-shaped energy functions that one encounters for example in spin glasses by tunneling through such barriers.
Master Gunnery Sergeant (MGySgt) is the 9th and highest enlisted grade (along with the grade-equivalent rank of Sergeant Major) in the United States Marine Corps.
While the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps out-ranks all other Sergeants Major (and Master Gunnery Sergeants), it is a unique rank of which there is only one in the Corps.
These nicknames are considered unacceptable in formal or ceremonial situations and, at the rank holder's discretion, may also be unacceptable for use by lower-ranking Marines.
The grade was derived from another grade unique to the United States Marine Corps, the Gunnery Sergeant, and has been in use (though not continuously) since the time of the Spanish–American War (April 25 – August 12, 1898).
Establishment of the grade in its current form and pay grade occurred during a sweeping reorganization of grades in 1958 and 1959.
The grade was included, along with the grade of Master Sergeant, in a new career path for the pay grades of E-8 and E-9 which allowed senior SNCO billets to be filled by occupational specialists.
This move was designed to officially acknowledge the ever-increasing complexity of modern warfare, while still keeping the First Sergeant and Sergeant Major career paths with their historic command emphasis intact.
Master Gunnery Sergeants (MGySgts) with an infantry Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) serve in the billet of operations chief, as the senior staff non-commissioned officer in the operations section of an infantry battalion, or higher level (e.g., MEU, infantry regiment, MEB, Marine division, or MEF) headquarters.
MGySgts with a non-infantry (e.g., artillery, tank, communications, logistics) MOS typically serve as either the operations chief of their MOS type battalion/regiment (e.g., artillery battalion/regiment, tank battalion) or as the section chief/NCOIC in their MOS related staff section (e.g., communications, logistics) at the regimental/Marine Aircraft Group, or higher level, headquarters.
Master Gunnery Sergeants with an aviation maintenance MOS serve in the billet of maintenance NCOIC/chief in the aircraft maintenance department of a Marine aircraft squadron or in maintenance-related billets at the Marine Air Group (MAG) or Marine Air Wing (MAW) level.
For example, there are four aviation-related MGySgt billets (aircraft maintenance NCOIC, aviation supply NCOIC, avionics NCOIC, and aviation ordnance NCOIC) in the Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron (MALS) organic to each Marine Aircraft Group (MAG).
One of the major differences between the two E-9 ranks is that Master Gunnery Sergeants retain an occupational field-related MOS, while Sergeants Major receive a new MOS to reflect their specific command-related focus.
It is also important to note that while a Sergeant Major and a Master Gunnery Sergeant have different duties and responsibilities, a Master Gunnery Sergeant can (and often does) assume the duties of a Sergeant Major.
Karl Emil Julius Ulrich Salchow (7 August 1877 – 19 April 1949) was a Swedish figure skater, who dominated the sport in the first decade of the 20th century.
This is still a record, which he shares with Sonja Henie who also won 10 titles in the 1920s and 1930s, and with Irina Rodnina who won 10 titles in the 1960s and 1970s.
Salchow did not compete in the 1906 World Championships that were held in Munich, as he feared that he would not be judged fairly against Gilbert Fuchs of Germany.
When figure skating was first contested at the Summer Olympic Games in London (1908), Salchow also won the title with ease, became one of the oldest figure skating Olympic champions.
In addition, Salchow won the European Championships a record nine times (1898–1900, 1904, 1906–1907, 1909–1910, 1913) and placed second in the World Championships three times.
In 1909, Ulrich Salchow first landed a jump in competition in which he took off on the back inside edge, and landed on the back outside edge of his other foot.
After his competitive days, Salchow remained active in the sport, and was president of the International Skating Union (ISU) from 1925 to 1937.
Furthermore, he was the chairman of AIK in Stockholm between 1928 and 1939 – the leading Swedish club in football, ice-hockey, bandy, tennis and other sports.
The office of Prime Minister under the name of the Chairman of Government was introduced in Georgia upon its declaration of independence in May 1918.
The newly independent Georgia established the position of Prime Minister in August 1991, only to be abolished de facto in the aftermath of the January 1992 military coup and legally in the 1995 Constitution.
The office was reintroduced in the February 2004 constitutional amendment and further modified as a result of series of amendments passed between 2011 and 2018.
The office of Prime Minister may not be held by a citizen of Georgia who is simultaneously the citizen of a foreign country.
The nominee for premiership and ministerial candidates selected by them must win the confidence vote of the Parliament and then, within 2 days of a vote of confidence, be appointed by the President of Georgia.
If the parliamentary vote of confidence is not passed within the established time frame, the President dissolves the Parliament no earlier than two weeks and no later than three weeks after the respective time frame has expired, and calls extraordinary parliamentary election.
The Prime Minister of Georgia is the head of the Government, responsible for government activities and appointment and dismissal of ministers.
Prime Minister signs the legal acts of the government and countersigns some of the acts issued by the President of Georgia.
The Prime Minister also has the right to make decision on the use of the Defense Forces during martial law without the Parliament's approval.
During the martial law, the Prime Minister becomes a member of the National Defense Council, a consultative body chaired by the President of Georgia.
Located on the banks of the Palar River in the north-eastern part of Tamil Nadu, the city has been ruled at different times, by the Pallavas, Medieval Cholas, Later Cholas, Vijayanagar Empire, Rashtrakutas, Carnatic kingdom and the British.
The city has four zones (a total of 60 wards) covering an area of 87.915 km and has a population of 423,425 based on the 2001 census.
The Government of India has released the next list for the smart cities project and Vellore in among the 27 cities chosen in that list.
A strategically located city, it is well connected by rail and bus routes to major towns of the neighboring states like Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala.
It was under the sway of various dynasties and rulers, the prominent among them being the Pallavas, Cholas, Rashtrakuta dynasty of Malkhed, Sambuvarayar, the rulers of Vijayanagara, Carnatic and the British rulers.
In the 18th Century, Vellore was the site of some of the decisive battles fought in Ambur(Tirupattur district) (1749) A.D Arcot (Ranipet District) (1751) A.D and Vandivasi(Tiruvannamalai district) (1760A.D) as a result of the long -drawn struggle between the English and the French for Supremacy.
A very close examination of the stone inscriptions suggests that the fort was most likely built during the rule of Chinna Bommi Nayak (1526 to 1595A.D).
The Kalyanamantap, on the left of the entrance, with intricate carving and delicacy of exaction, bears testimony to the engineering and advanced state of sculpture of the times.
Dr. IDA Scudder, an American lady with a missionary zeal, started her Medical work in 1900 A.D. by setting up a very small Hospital, which in the last hundred years has grown into a premier Medical Institution of international reputation.
The central prison in Vellore, set up in 1830 A.D. is another historically important landmark as some eminent personalities and Freedom Fighters like Thiru Rajaji, R.Venkata Raman had served their prison terms there.
The other note worthy monuments are the Mausoleums located in Aruganthampoodi area on the Vellore – Arcot road, where the family members of Tippu Sultan were buried and the Muthu mandapam on the banks of river Palar, a memorial raised by the Tamil Nadu Government to honor Vikarama Raja Singha, the last Tamil King who ruled Kandy (Sri Lanka) from 1798 to 1815 A.D.
In fact,the Sepoy Mutiny of 1806 A.D. that broke out inside the Vellore fort against the British authority is considered to be a prelude to the Great Revolt of 1857, which is often described by some historians as the first war of Independence.
The outstanding performance of this district in contributing to the Military service is commendable, as more and more men have enlisted themselves to the Military service, to serve the nation with indomitable sprit and courage.
In 1806, more than 50 years before the great Revolt of 1857, there was another soldier- led mutiny in the south.
Though this mutiny seems to have faded from our collective memory, it was indicative of the simmering dissent in the British barracks.
The Vellore Sepoy Mutiny is considered to be the first large-scale mutiny against the British which resulted in over 100 British officers getting wounded or dying.
The trigger for this mutiny was also British high-handedness and the fear that the British were trying to convert the soldiers they commanded.
In 1805, the new Commander-in-Chief of the Madras Army of the British East India company, General Sir John Cradock embarked on an ambitious reform of the army's disciplinary system.
As a result of this, the Military Board approved a new, standardized regulation for the Madras army which dictated how sepoys should wear their uniforms and appear on duty.
While this included generic rules like the need to have their beards and moustaches trimmed, it also required sepoys to ensure they had no ‘caste marks’ and wear a new kind of turban with leather embellishments.
In May 1806, a few soldiers who protested against this change in uniform were sent to Chennai's Fort St. George where they were given public lashings and sacked from the army.
Already angry, this ‘soldier’s rebellion’ was further instigated by the sons of the deceased Tipu Sultan, who nursed grudges against the British and helped the sepoys in their uprising.
First the Aravidus, the last dynasty that ruled Vijayanagara lost Vellore to the Bijapur Sultan then in 1676 CE, it was captured by the Marathas after a siege that lasted four and a half months.
Eventually the fort came under the charge of Dost Ali, the Nawab of Carnatic, before passing on to the British in 1760 CE.
Vellore fort withstood Hyder Ali's siege for two years from 1780-82 CE, and would later become the base for Lord Cornwallis’ march on Bangalore to defeat Tipu Sultan.
When Tipu Sultan was killed at Sringapatam during the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War (1798-79 CE) and his kingdom handed back to the Hindu Wodeyar kings of Mysore, the British exiled Tipu's surviving 13 sons, several daughters, their respective families and their entire entourage to the Vellore fort.
In the early hours of July 10, the Indian sepoys attacked the European barracks within the fort, and by late morning they had killed over 100 British soldiers and ransacked their houses.
On receiving the news, the British commander, Colonel Robert Rollo Gillespie rushed with the Madras Cavalry, based 20 km away in Arcot, and charged through the gates attacking the Indian sepoys.
As a result of the uprising, a court of inquiry was setup by the British, who decided to shift Tipu Sultan's family to Calcutta, in isolation, so that they could be as far away from Vellore as possible.
The news of the uprising shook up England so much that the then governor, William Bentick, and the Commander - in - chief of the Madras army, John Cradock, were both dismissed from their positions.
The economic condition of the district in the earlier stages was not very sound, in the absence of the major industries.
The innovative self help groups of woman are also playing a very useful role in building rural economy and helping rural women to be self reliant.
A striking feature of the social change is that the district achieved cent percent literacy owing to the effective implementation of the Arivoli Movement.
The Samathuvapurams that are being set up, in various parts of the district, herald a new era, as social harmony and peaceful co-existence of different communities are the basic concept of this scheme.
The Varumun Kappom Thittam by proving basic infrastructure to rural folk for a free medical examination is indeed a milestone in the social history of Tamil Nadu.
The recorded history of Vellore dates back to the ninth century, as seen from a Chola inscriptions in the Annamalaiyar Temple in Tiruvannamalai.
The southwest monsoon, with an onset in June and lasting up to September, brings rainfall of 517.1 mm, with September being the rainiest month.
According to 2011 census, the Vellore District had a population of 3,936,331 with a sex-ratio of 1,034 females for every 1,000 males, much above the national average of 929.
There were a total of 70,257 workers, comprising 297 cultivators, 395 main agricultural labourers, 4,387 in house hold industries, 59,281 other workers, 5,897 marginal workers, 59 marginal cultivators, 74 marginal agricultural labourers, 667 marginal workers in household industries and 5,097 other marginal workers.
As per the religious census of 2011, Vellore had 80.09% Hindus, 14.28% Muslims, 4.79% Christians, 0.02% Sikhs, 0.03% Buddhists, 0.51% Jains, 0.26% following other religions and 0.02% following no religion or did not indicate any religious preference.
As of 2001, out of the total area, 69.88% of the land was marked developed and 31.12% of the city remained undeveloped.
Out of the developed area, 55.76% was used for residential purposes, 8.34% for commercial, 1.58% for industrial, 3.3% for educational, 16.46% for public and semi public and 10.12% for transport and communication.
The population density is not uniform: It is high in areas like Arugandhampoondi and lower in the peripheral areas such as Poonthottam.
The town was constituted as a third-grade municipality in 1866, promoted to first-grade during 1947, selection-grade from 1970 and a municipal corporation from 1 August 2008.
The functions of the municipal corporation are devolved into six departments: general administration/personnel, Engineering, Revenue, Public Health, city planning and Information Technology (IT).
Vellore is a part of the Vellore & Katpadi and it elects 2 members to the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly once every five years.
From the 1977 elections, All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) won the assembly twice (in 1977 and 2009 elections), four times by Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (in 1980, 1984 and 1989), twice by Indian National Congress (INC) (in 1991 and 2001 elections) and twice by Tamil Maanila Congress (TMC) (in 1996 and 2001 elections).
There are special units like prohibition enforcement, district crime, social justice and human rights, district crime records and special branch that operate at the district level police division headed by a superintendent of police.
Vellore, being the headquarters of the district, has registered growth in the tertiary sector activities, with a corresponding decrease in the primary sector.
Vellore leather accounts for more than 37% of the country's export of leather and leather-related products (such as finished leathers, shoes, garments and gloves).
Automobile and mechanical companies of global Brands, including SAME Deutz-Fahr, TVS–Brakes India, Mitsubishi, Greaves Cotton and MRF have their manufacturing units in the area.
Kramski Stamping and Molding India Pvt Ltd, a German precision metal and plastic integrated-component manufacturing company with automotive, telecommunications, electronics and medical applications is in Erayankadu, near Vellore.
Major businesses in the city center are on Officer's Line, Town Hall Road, Long Bazaar and Bangalore, Scudder, Arni, Gandhi and Katpadi Roads.
Christian Medical College & Hospital (CMCH), on Ida Scudder Road in the heart of the city, is Vellore's largest private employer and has a large floating population from other parts of India and abroad.
With the advent of hospitals such as Apollo KH Hospital in Melvisharam and Sri Narayani Hospital & Research Centre in Sripuram, coupled with colleges such as CMC & VIT and other engineering and science colleges, the health care industry is growing rapidly.
It has a state-government university, a private technological university, one government and one private medical school and several engineering and arts and science colleges.
The central government's biotechnology department selected the Christian Medical College (CMC) as the first in a series of centers, since it already had world-class clinical hematology and biochemistry departments.
The college has made a breakthrough which attracted the attention of the country's medical and scientific community: the Centre for Stem Cell Research at the Christian Medical College succeeded in reprogramming cells from adult mice to make them function like stem cells found in the human embryo.
The Government of India-sponsored National Watershed Development Project for Rainfed Areas (NWDPRA) scheme has been in operation since October 1997, with the main objective being trials of conservation measures conducted in water and soil of 18 watersheds in the Vellore and Tiruvannamalai districts.
Auxilium Women's College (founded in 1954) is the first women's college in Vellore district; Other arts and sciences colleges in the city are the Dhanabakyam Krishnaswamy Mudhaliar Women's College (DKM) near Sainathapuram and the Muthurangam Government Arts College (MGAC) in Otteri, near Bagayam.
Voorhees College (founded 1898) is the oldest college in the district and known as the institution where S. Radhakrishnan (former president of India) studied; a commemorative stamp for the centenary of the college was issued by the government of India.
Schieffelin Institute of Health – Research and Leprosy Centre (SIH-R & LC) called Karigiri Hospital is located near Vellore, was established in 1955 to care for the leprosy patients.
During British rule, Tipu Sultan's family and the last king of Sri Lanka, Vikrama Rajasinha, were held as royal prisoners in the fort.
The first rebellion against British rule erupted at this fort in 1806, and it witnessed the massacre of the Vijayanagara royal family of Emperor Sriranga Raya.
The main walls are built of massive granite stones, surrounded by a broad moat fed with water by subterranean pipes from the Suryagunta reservoir.
The fort houses the Tipu Mahal where Tipu Sultan is believed to have stayed with his family during the war with the British; the graves of Tipu's sons are found at Vellore.
Special exhibits include a bronze double sword from Vellore Taluk dating to 400 BC, stone sculptures from the late Pallava to Vijayanagar periods, ivory chess boards and coins used by the last Kandian King of Sri Lanka, Vikrama Raja Singha.
Educational activities at the museum include an art camp for school students and the study of inscriptions and iconography for college students.

Founded in 1993, the Battery is one of the oldest continuously operating professional soccer clubs in the United States, tied with the Richmond Kickers.
Charleston is one of the more successful lower division soccer clubs in the United States, having won the USISL Pro League in 1996, the USL A-League in 2003, and the final season of the USL Second Division in 2010.
Previously, the club played its home games at the soccer-specific MUSC Health Stadium in the Daniel Island section of Charleston from 1999 to 2019.
The Battery was formed in 1993 by an ownership group of local soccer enthusiasts led by Tony Bakker, a native of London who had relocated his software company Blackbaud to the Charleston area in 1989.
The club hired experienced college coach and University of South Carolina graduate Tim Hankinson to develop the team, and the Battery started as a member of the USISL, which eventually evolved and came to be known as the USL in 1995.
The Battery won their first league championship in 1996 under Portuguese manager Nuno Piteira, defeating the Charlotte Eagles 3–2 in the final.
In 1999 the Battery moved into what is now known as MUSC Health Stadium, becoming the first non-Major League Soccer professional club in the United States to build its own stadium, and forged a reputation as one of the country's most well-established lower division clubs.
The Battery hired veteran English coach Alan Dicks and signed many experienced domestic players such as Paul Conway, Dan Calichman and Eric Wynalda while also bringing in notable foreign signings such as Terry Phelan and Raúl Díaz Arce.
In 2001 Dicks was replaced by fellow Englishman Chris Ramsey, who led Charleston to the A-League championship in 2003 with a 3–0 victory in the final over Minnesota Thunder in Charleston.
Following Ramsey's departure in 2004, the club promoted longtime player and assistant coach Mike Anhaeuser to be the club's new manager.
In 2008 the Battery reached the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup final for the first time, playing against Major League Soccer team D.C. United at RFK Stadium.
In the final the Battery conceded an early goal but bounced back with a quick-fire equalizer through an Ian Fuller goal, assisted by Chris Williams.
At the start of the second half Charleston conceded early again, but in the final seconds of extra time Marco Reda put the ball in the back of the net for Charleston, only to have his goal controversially disallowed as offside.
In 2010 Charleston was invited by several other USL clubs to join the breakaway league eventually known as the North American Soccer League, but the Battery chose to remain in the USL system and self-relegate to the USL Second Division, which eventually became the chief USL professional division.
In their first third division season in 2010, Charleston led the league standings for the entire year and went undefeated at home.
In 2012 the Battery won their fourth league title in club history, defeating local rivals Wilmington Hammerheads 1–0 in the final.
Micheal Azira scored a 74th-minute winner after Jose Cuevas slipped a pass to him on the left side of the penalty area.
In recent years the Battery have had loan affiliations with several Major League Soccer clubs, beginning with a one-year deal to become the USL Pro affiliate of Vancouver Whitecaps FC in 2014.
On January 15, 2016, it was announced that the club would be partnering with the Atlanta United FC for the 2016 MLS season prior to Atlanta's entry to MLS in 2017.
In February 2016, it was announced that longtime majority owner Tony Bakker had sold the club to B Sports Entertainment, an investment group led by local tech executives.
In early 2018 it was announced that Bell would be leaving the club to take over operations of an announced USL expansion club in Memphis, Tennessee, ending a two-decade career in the Charleston front office.
In October 2019, it was announced that B Sports Entertainment had sold the club to Rob Salvatore of HCFC, LLC with a move to Patriots Point Soccer Complex in Mount Pleasant.
Beginning in 1997 the club began using black with yellow stripes, which has remained in use as the home jersey ever since.
The Charleston away kit has typically been a combination of red, white and black, though for the 2017 season the away kit is either the 25 Anniversary black and silver combination, or white and black.
The club badge has been the same throughout its history, other than minor adjustments in color, resolution and the addition of four stars representing each of the team's league championships.
It is a classic shield in the club's signature yellow and black stripes, featuring a pair of crossed artillery cannons (alluding to the city's naval history and prominent role in the American Revolution and American Civil War) above a depiction of a soccer ball.
The Battery played their first six seasons in downtown Charleston at Stoney Field, a facility they shared with various college and high school sports teams.
MUSC Health Stadium is modeled on lower level English soccer grounds and features an on-site pub called The Three Lions behind the west stand.
Additionally, the complex includes sky boxes, a plaza for corporate entertaining, and state-of-the-art media capabilities, making it one of the premier professional soccer venues in the U.S.
The Battery competes for the Coffee Pot Cup every time it faces their rival team D.C. United of Major League Soccer, a trophy established by the two sides' supporters and currently held by DC.
The clubs have regularly faced each other in friendlies and cup competitions, with the 2008 US Open Cup final remaining the highest profile match between the two clubs to date.
Many of the most commonly used cryptography systems are based on the assumption that the discrete log is extremely difficult to compute; the more difficult it is, the more security it provides a data transfer.
Then it fixes an formula_17 and tries values of formula_18 in the right-hand side of the congruence above, in the manner of trial multiplication.
The hashing is done on the second component, and to perform the check in step 1 of the main loop, γ is hashed and the resulting memory address checked.
Since hash tables can retrieve and add elements in formula_22 time (constant time), this does not slow down the overall baby-step giant-step algorithm.
The running time of the algorithm and the space complexity is formula_23, much better than the formula_24 running time of the naive brute force calculation.
The Baby-step giant-step algorithm is often used to solve for the shared key in the Diffie Hellman key exchange, when the modulus is a prime number.
Eugene Shoemaker showed that shocked quartz is also found inside craters created by meteor impact, such as the Barringer Crater and Chicxulub crater.
The presence of shocked quartz supports that such craters were formed by impact, because a volcanic eruption would not generate the required pressure.
Coesite and stishovite are usually viewed as indicative of impact events, eclogite facies metamorphism, (or thermonuclear explosion), but are also found in sediments prone to lightning strikes and in fulgurites.
Shocked quartz is found worldwide, and occurs in the thin Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary layer, which occurs at the contact between Cretaceous and Paleogene rocks.
This is further evidence (in addition to iridium enrichment) that the transition between the two geologic periods was caused by a large impact.
Lightning also generates planar deformation features in quartz and is capable of propagating appropriate pressure/temperature gradients in rocks and sediments alike.
Though shocked quartz is only recently recognized, Eugene Shoemaker discovered it prior to its crystallographic description in building stones in the Bavarian town of Nördlingen, derived from shock-metamorphic rocks, such as breccia and pseudotachylite, of Ries crater.
Founded in 1874, the SUNY Maritime College was the first college of its kind (federally approved, offering commercial nautical instruction) to be founded in the United States and is one of only seven degree-granting maritime academies in the United States.
Due in part to the Civil War, there was a decline in the American maritime industry and a growing concern about the professionalism of its officers.
As a result, the New York Chamber of Commerce and maritime interests of the port of New York lobbied the state legislature to create a professional nautical school for the city.
Luce led the effort, and through his efforts an act was passed by Congress in 1874 that enabled individual states to request from the Navy retired or obsolete vessels to train seamen.
Originally administered by the Board of Education of the City of New York, it was conducted as a grammar school that taught common school subjects (along with nautical classes) during the winter term, and then held practical cruises during the summer term.
During this early period, the school was typically run on an annual appropriation of $20,000 to $30,000 with the school often facing closure because the cost per pupil was much higher than in a regular public school, mainly due to the overhead of ship maintenance and student board.
Despite being a state institution, the school was almost closed in 1916, again for budgetary reasons, but efforts from the maritime industry and the school's alumni kept it alive.
After this time, the American merchant marine grew and subsequently a greater demand for trained American merchant marine brought growth to the school.
In 1921, the school, which had for long moved from berth to berth, found itself at Bedloe's Island (now Liberty Island) in New York Harbor.
With the growing demand, a push was made by then superintendent James Harvey Tomb beginning in 1927 to acquire a larger ship and a land-based institution.
One of Franklin D. Roosevelt's last acts as Governor of New York State was to sign the act turning Fort Schuyler and the Throggs Neck peninsula over to the school for use as a shore-based facility of higher education.
Work restoring Fort Schuyler for the academy's use was done at first by the Temporary Emergency Relief Administration (TERA) in 1934 followed by the Works Progress Administration in 1935.
All of the college's bachelor's degree programs may be combined with preparation for the professional license as a United States Merchant Marine Officer.
The College also offers a master's degree in International Transportation Management and Maritime and Naval Studies; as well as several graduate Professional Mariner Training certificates.
Most of the degree programs may be completed while concurrently preparing for the United States Merchant Marine officer's license as a third mate or third assistant engineer.
Additionally, SUNY Maritime College has the only United States Navy/United States Marine Corps Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) program in the metropolitan New York City area, which prepares enrollees for commissioned officer positions in the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps.
As of 2017, the graduates of SUNY Maritime College earned US$144,000, the highest average annual salary of any university graduates in the United States.
SUNY Maritime College teams participate as a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III, competing primarily in the Skyline Conference for the majority of its sports, as well as the ECFC for football, ICSA for sailing, and US Rowing for its rowing teams.
The department currently sponsors 16 different varsity programs: baseball, men's basketball, men's and women's cross country, football, men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's rowing, co-ed dinghy sailing, co-ed offshore sailing, men's and women's soccer, men's and women's swimming & diving, and women's volleyball.
The department also offers ice hockey, mixed rifle and rugby at the club level, ice hockey competes as a Division III member of the American Collegiate Hockey Association, mixed rifle competes in the Mid-Atlantic Rifle Conference, and rugby competes in the Tri-State Rugby Conference.
Incoming Cadets must go through Indoctrination (shortened to INDOC), a ten days of training in August where they learn leadership and basic seamanship skills.
During freshman year, aka Mariner Under Guidance (MUG) year, Cadets are made to square corners, stand at attention for all upperclassmen, and have room inspections, and maintain the uniform of the day.
Maggie is intended to be a replacement for Blanche as by the 3rd series of Tenko, Blanche dies offscreen as a result of beri-beri.
Coesite is a form (polymorph) of silicon dioxide SiO that is formed when very high pressure (2–3 gigapascals), and moderately high temperature (), are applied to quartz.
In 1960, a natural occurrence of coesite was reported by Edward C. T. Chao, in collaboration with Eugene Shoemaker, from Barringer Crater, in Arizona, US, which was evidence that the crater must have been formed by an impact.
After this report, the presence of coesite in unmetamorphosed rocks was taken as evidence of a meteorite impact event or of an atomic bomb explosion.
In metamorphic rocks, coesite was initially described in eclogite xenoliths from the mantle of the Earth that were carried up by ascending magmas; kimberlite is the most common host of such xenoliths.
In metamorphic rocks, coesite is now recognized as one of the best mineral indicators of metamorphism at very high pressures (UHP, or ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism).
It can be preserved as mineral inclusions in other phases because as it partially reverts to quartz, the quartz rim exerts pressure on the core of the grain, preserving the metastable grain as tectonic forces uplift and expose these rock at the surface.
Coesite has been identified in UHP metamorphic rocks around the world, including the western Alps of Italy at Dora Maira, the Erzgebirge of Germany, the Lanterman Range of Antarctica, in the Kokchetav Massif of Kazakhstan, in the Western Gneiss region of Norway, the Dabie-Shan Range in Eastern China, the Himalayas of Eastern Pakistan , and the Vermont Appalachian Mountains .
The crystal structure of coesite is similar to that of feldspar and consists of four silicon dioxide tetrahedra arranged in SiO and SiO rings.
This structure is metastable within the stability field of quartz: coesite will eventually decay back into quartz with a consequent volume increase, although the metamorphic reaction is very slow at the low temperatures of the Earth's surface.
The party tends to attract protest voters who think that the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Christian Social Union of Bavaria (CSU) are not sufficiently conservative.
It was founded in 1983 by former CSU members Franz Handlos and Ekkehard Voigt, and Franz Schönhuber was the party's leader from 1985 to 1994.
The Republicans had seats in the European Parliament between 1989 and 1994, Abgeordnetenhaus of West Berlin in 1989–1990 and in the parliament of the German state of Baden-Württemberg between 1991 and 2001.
The Republicans' strongholds tended to be in relatively affluent South Germany rather than the more economically depressed Eastern Germany where the more radical right-wing parties tended to do well.
The CDU/CSU parties witnessed increasing dissatisfaction of their right wing in the 1980s, while at the same time the extreme-right National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD) was in decline.
The Republicans was formed in a Bavarian tavern on 17 November 1983 by CSU defectors and MPs Franz Handlos and Ekkehard Voigt, and former radio journalist and television talk show host Franz Schönhuber, with a past in the NSDAP and Waffen-SS.
In its early years, the party was able to profit from dissatisfaction with the CSU due to its alleged abuse of power, patronage and limited internal democracy.
This led to a fierce power struggle, in which Handlos accused Schönhuber of seeking to put the party on a course towards right-wing extremism.
Schönhuber was subsequently elected chairperson of the party in June 1985, with former NPD member Harald Neubauer as his party secretary.
The party's first election, the 1986 Bavarian state election, gave the party financial campaign support, which it used to strengthen its organisation; by 1987 it had chapters in all but one West German state.
Outside Bavaria, the party gained less support, and ended up behind both main extreme-right parties, the NPD and the German People's Union (DVU).
The Republicans chose not to contest the 1987 federal election as it considered itself too weak, and CSU leader Strauss adopted some of Schönhuber's rhetoric to win back voters.
When prospects of German unification became more realistic, the Republicans started to see political success, and the year 1989 marked the party's electoral breakthrough.
At the same time, hundreds of editorials, articles and books were written about the party, including some that speculated that it could become the fifth party of the German party system.
The party gained some support among the right-wing of the CDU/CSU, and was even considered by some as a possible future coalition partner.
Although some experts argued that the Republicans still was a democratic right-wing party, the majority considered that the party was part of the extreme-right.
The Republicans lost its electoral gains in the 1990s as it was torn by internal strife, scandals, and failure to attract voters in former East Germany after the reunification.
It contested fourteen elections between 1990 and 1991, but never surpassed the 5% threshold (although it came close in the Bavarian state election with 4.9% of the vote).
Internal strife led the leadership of two state branches of the party to be collectively discharged in 1989, and in 1990, open conflict erupted between the 'moderate' Schönhuber and 'extremist' Neubauer.
After this, the extremists, including Neubauer, were purged from the party leadership, and Neubauer was replaced by the moderate, national-conservative Rolf Schlierer.
Although the party seemed poised to disappear in the beginning of the 1990s, it won a surprising result in the April 1992 state election in Baden-Württemberg.
In the election, in which the party was headed by Schlierer, the Republicans won 10.9% of the vote and fifteen seats, and became the third largest party in the state.
The party still failed to breach the 5% threshold in subsequent elections, although it won as much as 4.8% in the 1993 Hamburg state council election.
The litmus test for Schlierer's leadership occurred in the state election in Baden-Württemberg in March 1996, for which he had stated many times that he would resign as party leader if the party failed to get reelected to the state parliament.
In the following years, election results for the party again dropped, and in the 1999 European Parliament election it won just 1.7% of the vote.
The German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution stopped monitoring the party in 2006, something they had been doing since 1992.
The Republican leadership rebuffed the offer of an electoral alliance with two more successful parties that were later to merge, the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD) and the German People's Union (DVU), due to their openly extreme-right positions.
The strongholds for the Republicans also differ from those of the more radical right-wing parties, with the former being strongest in the relatively affluent South Germany whilst the latter have had most success in the more economically depressed Eastern Germany.
The latter included campaigning for the unification of the then-existing West and East Germany, which helped boost the party's popularity in the late 1980s.
The party did not however strive for the inclusion of all groups it considered as part of the German ethnic community, such as Austrians, South Tyroleans and Transylvanian Saxons.
The early programmes of the party sought to protect German agriculture, the middle classes, as well as German small businesses from big corporations and monopolisation.
While it maintained a neo-liberal discourse and calls for budget cuts, it began promoting welfare chauvinism, namely only funding German interests.
The Republicans have criticised immigration since its foundation, but the initial relatively moderate discourse became increasingly radical and outspoken under Schönhuber and Neubauer, as well as becoming one of the major topics of party literature.
The party highlighted the topic of asylum seekers in the 1980s, when it generally had little importance in German political debate.
As the number of asylum seekers increased significantly in the 1990s, so did media attention on a number of controversies, and the major German parties agreed on a stricter asylum law in December 1992.
The party criticised Muslims in particular for being fundamentalist and not willing to be integrated, expanding their sub-culture all over Europe.
Since the signing of the Maastricht Treaty, opposition to the European Union has become one of the party's most important issues, and it turned to support a confederal state instead of a federal one.
The party perceives the international community to be especially hostile towards Germany, and criticises what it considers to be certain limitations of Germany's sovereignty.
After being elected to the European Parliament in 1989, it briefly teamed up in the European Right group with the French National Front (FN) and the Belgian Vlaams Blok.
Together with the Vlaams Blok, the Republicans sought to move the FN away from the Italian Social Movement, which was in conflict with the Republicans over the territorial dispute of South Tyrol.
The Republicans' alliance with these parties however ended already in 1990, when they accepted Neubauer and his group instead of Schönhuber in the European Right group.
After the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, the Republicans was also briefly the inspiration for some short-lived initiatives in countries including Hungary, Ukraine, Latvia and Czechoslovakia.
Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini, or Our Lady of the Conception of the Capuchins, is a church in Rome, Italy, commissioned in 1626 by Pope Urban VIII, whose brother, Antonio Barberini, was a Capuchin friar.
The chapels are notable as one contains the body of St. Felix of Cantalice and another is the tomb of the Saint Crispin of Viterbo.
Cardinal Antonio Barberini, who was a member of the Capuchin order, in 1631 ordered the remains of thousands of Capuchin friars exhumed and transferred from the friary Via dei Lucchesi to the crypt.
The bones were arranged along the walls, and the friars began to bury their own dead there, as well as the bodies of poor Romans, whose tomb was under the floor of the present Mass chapel.
The crypt, or ossuary, now contains the remains of 4,000 friars buried between 1500 and 1870, during which time the Roman Catholic Church permitted burial in and under churches.
The underground crypt is divided into five chapels, lit only by dim natural light seeping in through cracks, and small fluorescent lamps.
Some of the skeletons are intact and draped with Franciscan habits, but for the most part, individual bones are used to create elaborate ornamental designs.
The crypt originated at a period of a rich and creative cult for their dead; great spiritual masters meditated and preached with a skull in hand.
The Sedlec ossuary (1870) in the Czech Republic and the Skull Chapel in Poland are said to have been inspired by it.
OpenAL is an environmental 3D audio library, which can add realism to a game by simulating attenuation (degradation of sound over distance), the Doppler effect (change in frequency as a result of motion), and material densities.
OpenAL aimed to originally be an open standard and open-source replacement for proprietary (and generally incompatible with one another) 3D audio APIs such as DirectSound and Core Audio, though in practice has largely been implemented on various platforms as a wrapper around said proprietary APIs or as a proprietary and vendor-specific fork.
OpenAL was originally developed in 2000 by Loki Software to help them in their business of porting Windows games to Linux.
After the demise of Loki, the project was maintained for a time by the free software/open source community, and implemented on NVIDIA nForce sound cards and motherboards.
It is now hosted (and largely developed) by Creative Technology with on-going support from Apple, Blue Ripple Sound via their Rapture3D OpenAL Driver ,and individual open-source developers.
Since 1.1, the implementation by Creative has turned proprietary, with the last releases in free licenses still accessible through the project's Subversion source code repository.
A source object contains a pointer to a buffer, the velocity, position and direction of the sound, and the intensity of the sound.
The net result of all of this for the end user is that in a properly written OpenAL application, sounds behave quite naturally as the user moves through the three-dimensional space of the virtual world.
From a programmer's perspective, very little additional work is required to make this happen in an existing OpenGL-based 3D graphical application.
Unlike the OpenGL specification, the OpenAL specification includes two subsections of the API: the core consisting of the actual OpenAL function calls, and the ALC (Audio Library Context) API which is used to manage rendering contexts, resource usage and locking in a cross platform manner.
There is also an 'ALUT' (Audio Library Utility Toolkit) library that provides higher level 'convenience' functions — exactly analogous to OpenGL's 'GLUT'.
Individual vendors are thereby able to include their own extensions into distributions of OpenAL, commonly for the purpose of exposing additional functionality on their proprietary hardware.
Extensions can be promoted to ARB (Architecture Review Board) status, indicating a standard extension which will be maintained for backwards compatibility.
For advanced digital signal processing and hardware-accelerated sound effects, the EFX (Effects Extension) or environmental audio extensions (EAX) can be used.
In order to take full speed advantage of OpenAL, a vendor/hardware specific implementation is needed and these are seldom released as open source.
Many supported platforms in fact implement OpenAL as a wrapper which simply translates calls to the platform's native, and often proprietary, audio API.
On Windows, if a vendor specific implementation is not detected it will fall back to the wrap_oal.dll wrapper library that translates OpenAL into DirectSound (Generic Software) or DirectSound3D (Generic Hardware); the removal of the latter from Windows Vista onward has effectively broken generic hardware acceleration on modern versions of Windows.
The API is available on the following platforms and Operating systems: Android (supports OpenSL ES), AmigaOS 3.x and 4.x, Bada, BlackBerry 10, BlackBerry PlayBook, BSD, iOS (supports Core Audio), IRIX, Linux (supports ALSA, OSS, PortAudio and PulseAudio), Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X (Core Audio), Microsoft Windows (supports DirectSound, Windows Multimedia API and Windows Multimedia Device (MMDevice) API), MorphOS, OpenBSD, Solaris, QNX, and AROS.
The hooker with a heart of gold (also the whore with a heart of gold or the tart with a heart) is a stock character involving a courtesan or prostitute with a hidden integrity and kindness.
The character, traditionally female, is usually an example of irony: an allegedly immoral woman who demonstrates virtues absent in a woman morally correct for the role.
This character is often a pivotal, but peripheral, character in literature and motion pictures, usually giving key advice or serving as a go-between.
But this stock character is pervasive enough in various myths and cultures in the form of a tragic story of the concubine who falls in love with her patron/client or, alternatively, young and often poor lover.
Therefore, this might be considered not just an archetype but also fairly universal, and somewhat indicative of various societies' complex ideas about sexual decency and moral character.
Characters of this nature are often depicted as having tragic lives, but put on a front when in public to create the illusion of happiness.
More often than not, these female characters are vital to their respective shows, and inevitably become some of the biggest stars in British Television.
The story of Rahab in the Bible's Book of Joshua is considered by some the earliest example of this character type.
She is later persuaded to leave him by Alfredo's father Giorgio Germont in order to keep the family's nobility from falling (as her reputation has threatened his daughter's engagement).
is another modern-day film, in which the main character is a courtesan named Satine who does end up having a heart and falling in love, but ultimately (tragically) dies of tuberculosis during one of her performances and never actually gets to be with the one she truly loves.
Sir Michael Checkland (born 13 March 1936) was Director-General of the BBC from 1987 to 1992, being appointed after the forced resignation of Alasdair Milne.
Michael Checkland was educated at the state grammar school King Edward VI Five Ways in Birmingham, and Wadham College, Oxford, of which he was appointed an Honorary Fellow in 1989.
Checkland joined the BBC in 1964 as a senior cost accountant and in 1969 he was promoted to be head of the Central Finance Unit and chief accountant for Central Finance Services.
In 1971 he moved to BBC TV, where he was successively chief accountant (1971–76), financial controller (1976–77), controller of planning and resource management (1977–82), and director of resources (1982–85).
In 1985 he was appointed Deputy Director-General of the Corporation, and at the same time he became Vice President of the Royal Television Society, a position he retained until 1994.
It has been claimed that the exodus to Channel 4 in the early 1990s of dramatists like Dennis Potter and Alan Bleasdale, who had both been responsible for series which caused outrage among Conservatives during the Milne era, had much to do with the relative lack of risk-taking at the BBC under Checkland and his successor John Birt, who was deputy director-general throughout Checkland's reign.
He is a trustee of Reuters, chairman of Horsham YMCA, chairman of Horsham Arts Festival, chairman of the University of Brighton and a board member of the Wales Millennium Centre.
He was a member of the Independent Television Commission from 1997 to 2003, and chairman of Brighton Festival from 1993 to 2002.
He survived the devastation of World War II as a teenager, which he said left an indelible mark on his life and fueled his quest to solve the fundamental causes of human conflict.
At age 19, Ikeda began practicing Nichiren Buddhism and joined a youth group of the Soka Gakkai Buddhist association, which led to his lifelong work developing the global peace movement of SGI and founding dozens of institutions dedicated to fostering peace, culture and education.
In 1975, he established the Soka Gakkai International, and throughout the 1970s initiated a series of citizen diplomacy efforts through international educational and cultural exchanges for peace.
In his role as SGI president, Ikeda has visited 55 nations and spoken on subjects including peace, environment, economics, women's rights, interfaith dialogue, nuclear disarmament, and Buddhism and science.
However, after the devastation of the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake, the family's enterprise was left in ruins, and by the time Ikeda was born, his family was financially struggling.
In 1942, while all of his older brothers were overseas in the Asian theatres of World War II, Ikeda's father, Nenokichi, fell ill and was bedridden for two years.
To help to support his family, at the age of 14, Ikeda began working in the Niigata Steelworks munitions factory as part of Japan's wartime youth labor corps.
In May 1945, Ikeda's home was destroyed by fire during an Allied air raid, and his family was forced to move to the Omori area of Tokyo.
For several years, the Ikeda family, particularly his mother, was informed by the Japanese government that Kiichi had been killed in action in Burma (now Myanmar).
In August 1947, at the age of 19, Ikeda was invited by an old friend to attend a Buddhist discussion meeting.
Shortly after the end of World War II, in January 1946, Ikeda gained employment with the Shobundo Printing Company in Tokyo.
In March 1948, Ikeda graduated from Toyo Trade School and the following month entered the night school extension of Taisei Gakuin (present-day Tokyo Fuji University) where he majored in political science.
Over the next several years, between 1948 and 1953, Ikeda worked for various Toda-owned enterprises, including the Nihon Shogakkan publishing company, the Tokyo Construction Trust credit association, and the Okura Shoji trading company.
The following year, he was appointed as director of the Soka Gakkai's public relations bureau, and later became its chief of staff.
In April 1957, a group of young Soka Gakkai members in Osaka were arrested for allegedly distributing money, cigarettes and candies to support the political campaign of a local electoral candidate (who was also a Soka Gakkai member).
With the growing influence of this liberal grassroots movement, factions of the conservative political establishment initiated a series of media attacks on the Soka Gakkai, culminating in Ikeda's arrest.
In May 1960, two years after Toda's death, Ikeda, then 32 years old, succeeded him as president of the Soka Gakkai.
Soon after, Ikeda began to travel overseas to build connections between Soka Gakkai members living abroad and expand the movement globally.
While the Soka Gakkai saw its most dramatic growth after World War II under Toda's leadership, Ikeda led the international growth of the Soka Gakkai and turned it into what is considered the largest, most diverse international lay Buddhist association in the world.
He reformed many of the organization's practices, including the aggressive conversion style (known as shakubuku) for which the group had become known in Japan, and improved the organization's public image, though it was sometimes still viewed with suspicion in Japan.
On 26 January 1975, a world peace conference was held in Guam, where Soka Gakkai representatives from 51 countries created an umbrella organization for the growing network of members around the world.
The SGI was created in part as a new international peace movement, and its founding meeting was held in Guam in a symbolic gesture referencing Guam's history as the site of some of World War II's bloodiest battles, and proximity to Tinian Island, launching place of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.
In 1979, Ikeda resigned as president of the Soka Gakkai (in Japan), accepting responsibility for the organization's purported deviation from Nichiren Shōshū doctrines and accompanying conflict with its priesthood.
Nichiren Shōshū was the Buddhist denomination with which the Soka Gakkai had been associated since its founding, but the relationship between the two organizations was often strained.
Ikeda's relationship with his mentor Josei Toda shaped his emphasis on dialogue as fundamental to building trust between people and peace in society.
The variety of Ikeda's discursive styles - from the doctrinal to the poetic, the novel to the memorial - has challenged academic boundaries between religion and philosophy.
Ikeda is credited with having fostered among SGI members an ethos of social responsibility and a strong spirit of global citizenship.
Ikeda has founded a number of institutions to promote education in all its forms, cultural exchange and the exchange of ideas on peacebuilding through dialogue.
In 2015, a new version of the exhibit opened in Tokyo focusing on the bravery of Anne Frank and Chiune Sugihara.
Ikeda was an original proponent of the Earth Charter Initiative, co-founded by Mikhail Gorbachev, and Ikeda has included details of the Charter in many of his annual peace proposals since 1997.
Since 26 January 1983, Ikeda has submitted annual peace proposals to the United Nations, addressing such areas as building a culture of peace, gender equality in education, empowerment of women, UN reform and universal human rights with a view on global civilization.
In his 2019 peace proposal, he advocated for multilateral support toward the entry into force of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, renewed efforts based on Article 6 of the Non-Proliferation Treaty to de-escalate tensions, and an international framework to ban lethal autonomous weapons (LAWs).
Ikeda's work has been described by academics as citizen diplomacy for his contributions to diplomatic as well as intercultural ties between Japan and other countries, and more broadly between peoples of the world.
Ikeda's dialogues with scholars, politicians, and cultural figures have increased awareness and support of humanitarian and peace activities, have facilitated deeper international relationships, and generated support for SGI-sponsored work on global issues including the environment and nuclear disarmament.
First in 1967 then several times in 1970, Ikeda met with Austrian-Japanese politician and philosopher Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi, founder of the Paneuropean Movement.
Their discussions which focused on East-West relations and the future of peace work were serialized in the 'Sankei Shimbun' newspaper in 1971.
Ikeda's meetings with Nelson Mandela in the 1990s led to a series of SGI-sponsored anti-apartheid lectures, a traveling exhibit, and multiple student exchange programs at the university level.
Ikeda made several visits to China and met with Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai in 1974, though Sino-Japanese tensions remained over the brutalities of war waged by the Japanese militarists.
The visits led to the establishment of cultural exchanges of art, dance and music between China and Japan and opened academic exchanges between Chinese educational institutions and Soka University.
Chinese media describe Ikeda as an early proponent of normalizing diplomatic relations between China and Japan in the 1970s, citing his 1968 proposal that drew condemnation by some and the interest of others including Zhou Enlai.
Since 1975, cultural exchanges have continued between the Min-On Concert Association, founded by Ikeda, and institutions including the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries.
After Ikeda's 1984 visit to China and meetings with public figures including Chinese Communist Party Leader Hu Yaobang and Deng Yingchao, observers estimated that Ikeda's 1968 proposal moved Japanese public sentiment to support closer diplomatic ties with China and his cultivation of educational and cultural ties helped strengthen state relations.
In 1999, the Martin Luther King Jr. Chapel at Atlanta, Georgia-based Morehouse College established the Gandhi, King, Ikeda Institute for Ethics and Reconciliation as one of its programs to foster peace, nonviolence and reconciliation.
The Dr. Daisaku Ikeda Ecological Park is open to the public and its land, waterways, fauna and wildlife are protected by Brazil's Federal Conservation Law.
The Club of Rome named Ikeda an honorary member, and Ikeda has received more than 760 honorary citizenships from cities and municipalities around the world.
At the International Day for Poets of Peace in February 2016, an initiative launched by the Mohammed bin Rashid World Peace Award, Daisaku Ikeda from Japan along with Kholoud Al Mulla from the UAE, K. Satchidanandan from India and Farouq Gouda from Egypt were named International Poets of Peace.
In November 2010, citing his peacebuilding efforts and promotion of cultural exchange and humanist education, the University of Massachusetts Boston bestowed an honorary doctorate upon Ikeda, marking the 300th such title conferred by higher learning institutions in more than 50 countries, which Ikeda accepted, he said, on behalf of SGI members and in recognition of their contributions to peace, culture and education.
In his essay collections and dialogues with political, cultural, and educational figures he discusses, among other topics: the transformative value of religion, the universal sanctity of life, social responsibility, and sustainable progress and development.
In the Philippines, DVD sets of 17 of the animated stories were donated by Anak TV to a large school, as part of a nationwide literacy effort.
Its book publication in English includes a foreword by British philosopher and historian Arnold J. Toynbee and has been translated into English, Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean and Dutch editions.
He was previously the First Secretary of the Socialist Party from 1997 to 2008, Mayor of Tulle from 2001 to 2008, and President of the Corrèze General Council from 2008 to 2012.
Hollande also served in the National Assembly of France twice for the department of Corrèze's 1st constituency from 1988 to 1993, and again from 1997 to 2012.
Born in Rouen and raised in Neuilly-sur-Seine, Hollande began his political career as a special advisor to newly elected President François Mitterrand, before serving as a staffer for Max Gallo, the government's spokesman.
He became a member of the National Assembly in 1988 and was elected First Secretary of the Socialist Party in 1997.
Following the 2004 regional elections won by the Socialists, Hollande was cited as a potential presidential candidate, but resigned as First Secretary and was immediately elected to replace Jean-Pierre Dupont as President of the General Council of Corrèze in 2008.
In 2011, Hollande announced that he would be a candidate in the primary election to select the Socialist Party presidential nominee; he won the nomination and was elected President of France on 6 May 2012 during the second round of voting with 51.6% of the vote against incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy.
344, reformed labour laws and credit training programmes, withdrew French combat troops present in the Afghanistan military intervention and concluded a EU directive through a Franco-German contract.
He also sent troops to Mali and the Central African Republic with the approval of the UN Security Council in order to stabilise those countries, two operations largely seen as successful.
Under his term, France also became the most toured country in the world, and known as a nation of open markets, regulatory efficiency, rule of law and limited governmental intervention.
Paris hosted the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference and Hollande's efforts to attract the 2024 Summer Olympics to the city were successful.
Notwithstanding, with unemployment up to 10% and domestic troubles over his tenure due to terrorism, he faced spikes and downturns in approval rates, ultimately making him the most unpopular French President under the Fifth Republic.
On 1 December 2016, he announced he would not seek re-election in the 2017 French presidential election, for which polls announced his defeat in the first round.
He attended Saint-Jean-Baptiste-de-la-Salle boarding school, a private Catholic school in Rouen, the Lycée Pasteur, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, receiving his baccalaureate in 1972 then graduated with a bachelor's degree in Law from Panthéon-Assas University.
Hollande studied at HEC Paris, graduated in 1975, and then attended the Institut d'études politiques de Paris and the École nationale d'administration (ENA).
Five years after volunteering as a student to work for François Mitterrand's ultimately unsuccessful campaign in the 1974 presidential election, Hollande joined the Socialist Party.
He was quickly spotted by Jacques Attali, a senior adviser to Mitterrand, who arranged for Hollande to run in legislative election of 1981 in Corrèze against future President Jacques Chirac, who was then the leader of the Rally for the Republic, a Neo-Gaullist party.
He went on to become a special advisor to newly elected President Mitterrand, before serving as a staffer for Max Gallo, the government's spokesman.
After becoming a municipal councillor for Ussel in 1983, he contested Corrèze for a second time in 1988, this time being elected to the National Assembly.
As the end of Mitterrand's term in office approached, the Socialist Party was torn by a struggle of internal factions, each seeking to influence the direction of the party.
Hollande pleaded for reconciliation and for the party to unite behind Jacques Delors, the President of the European Commission, but Delors renounced his ambitions to run for the French presidency in 1995.
That same year, Jospin became the Prime Minister of France, and Hollande won the election for his successor as First Secretary of the party, a position he would hold for eleven years.
Hollande would go on to be elected mayor of Tulle in 2001, an office he would hold for the next seven years.
The immediate resignation of Jospin from politics following his shock defeat by far-right candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen in the first round of the 2002 presidential election forced Hollande to become the public face of the party for the 2002 legislative election.
In order to prepare for the 2003 party congress in Dijon, he obtained the support of many notable personalities of the party and was re-elected first secretary against opposition from left-wing factions.
Although Hollande was re-elected as first secretary at the Le Mans Congress in 2005, his authority over the party began to decline.
Eventually his domestic partner, Ségolène Royal, was chosen to represent the party in the 2007 presidential election, where she would lose to Nicolas Sarkozy.
Hollande was widely blamed for the poor performances of the Socialist Party in the 2007 elections, and he announced that he would not seek another term as First Secretary.
Hollande publicly declared his support for Bertrand Delanoë, the mayor of Paris, but it was Martine Aubry who would go on to win the race to succeed him in 2008.
Hollande was next elected to replace Jean-Pierre Dupont as the president of the General Council of Corrèze in April 2008, and won re-election in 2011.
Hollande announced in early 2011 that he would be a candidate in the upcoming primary election to select the Socialist and Radical Left Party presidential nominee.
The primary marked the first time that both parties had held an open primary to select a joint nominee at the same time.
Following Strauss-Kahn's arrest on suspicion of sexual assault in New York City in May 2011, Hollande began to lead the opinion polls, and his position as front-runner was established just as Strauss-Kahn declared that he would no longer seek the nomination.
After a series of televised debates with other candidates throughout September, Hollande topped the ballot in the first round held on 9 October with 39% of the vote.
He did not, however, gain the 50% required to avoid a run-off election, and was obliged to enter a second ballot against Martine Aubry, who had come in second with 30% of the vote.
Hollande won with 56% of the vote to Aubry's 43% and thus became the official Socialist and Radical Left Party candidate for the 2012 presidential election.
All his main opponents in the primary – Aubry, Ségolène Royal, Arnaud Montebourg, and Manuel Valls – pledged their support to him for the general election.
Hollande's presidential campaign was managed by Pierre Moscovici and Stéphane Le Foll, a member of Parliament and Member of the European Parliament respectively.
Hollande launched his campaign officially with a rally and major speech at Le Bourget on 22 January 2012 in front of 25,000 people.
The main themes of his speech were equality and the regulation of finance, both of which he promised to make a key part of his campaign.
Opinion polls showed a tight race between the two men in the first round of voting, with most polls showing Hollande comfortably ahead of Sarkozy in a hypothetical second round.
He also appointed Benoît Puga to be the military's chief of staff, Pierre-René Lemas as his general secretary and Pierre Besnard as his Head of Cabinet.
The first measure enacted by the new government was to lower the salaries of the President, the Prime Minister, and other members of the government by 30%.
Hollande also signalled his intent to implement a 75% income tax rate on revenue earned above 1,000,000 euros per year, to generate the provision of development funds for deprived suburbs, and to return to a deficit of zero percent of GDP by 2017.
The tax plan proved controversial, with courts ruling it unconstitutional in 2012, only to then take the opposite position on a redrafted version in 2013.
Hollande had also announced several reforms to education, pledging to recruit 60,000 new teachers, to create a study allowance and means-tested training, and to set up a mutually beneficial contract that would allow a generation of experienced employees and craftsmen to be the guardians and teachers of younger newly hired employees, thereby creating a total of 150,000 subsidized jobs.
This was complemented by the promise of aid to SMEs, with the creation of a public bank investment-oriented SME's, and a reduction of the corporate tax rate to 30% for medium corporations and 15% for small.
Hollande's government has announced plans to construct 500,000 public homes per year, including 150,000 social houses, funded by a doubling of the ceiling of the A passbook, the region making available its local government land within five years.
In accordance with long-standing Socialist Party policy, Hollande has announced that the retirement age will revert to 60, for those who have contributed for more than 41 years.
Hollande has also announced his personal support for same-sex marriage and adoption for LGBT couples, and outlined plans to pursue the issue in early 2013.
On 23 April, the National Assembly approved the amended bill, in a 331–225 vote, and following approval of the law by the Constitutional Council of France, it was signed into law by President Hollande on 18 May 2013, with the first same-sex weddings under the law taking place eleven days later.
One of the main measures of the bill allows companies to temporarily cut workers' salaries or hours during times of economic difficulty.
This measure takes its inspiration from Germany, where furloughs have been credited with allowing companies to weather difficult times without resorting to massive layoffs.
Many companies cite the threat of lengthy court action – even more than any financial cost – as the most difficult part of doing business in France.
The law shortens the time that employees have to contest a layoff and also lays out a scheme for severance pay.
Another key measure introduced are credits for training that follow employees throughout their career, regardless of where they work, and the right to take a leave of absence to work at another company.
Lastly, the law also reforms unemployment insurance, so that someone out of work doesn't risk foregoing significant benefits when taking a job that might pay less than previous work or end up only being temporary.
Under the new law, workers will be able to essentially put benefits on hold when they take temporary work, instead of seeing their benefits recalculated each time.
Despite the opposition, the French Parliament did pass a reform in December 2013 aimed at plugging a pension deficit expected to reach 20.7 billion euros ($28.4 billion) by 2020 if nothing were to be done.
Rather than raising the mandatory retirement age, as many economists had advised, Hollande pursued increases in contributions, leaving the retirement age untouched.
The reform had a rough ride in parliament, being rejected twice by the Senate, where Hollande's Socialist Party has a slim majority, before it won sufficient backing in a final vote before the lower house of parliament.
French private sector workers will see the size and duration of their pension contributions increase only modestly under the reform while their retirement benefits are largely untouched.
He also pledged to conclude a new contract of Franco-German partnership, advocating the adoption of a Directive on the protection of public services.
On 11 January 2013, Hollande authorised the execution of Operation Serval, which aimed to curtail the activities of Islamist extremists in the north of Mali.
In 2014, Hollande took some of these troops out of Mali and spread them over the rest of the Sahel under Operation Barkhane, in an effort to curb jihadist militants.
On 27 February 2014, Hollande was a special guest of honor in Abuja, received by Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan in celebration of Nigeria's amalgamation in 1914, a 100-year anniversary.
In 2014, French bank BNP Paribas agreed to pay an $8.9 billion fine, the largest ever for violating U.S. sanctions against Iran at that time.
An IFOP poll released in April 2014 showed that Hollande's approval rating had dropped five points since the previous month of March to 18%, dipping below his earlier low of 20% in February during the same year.
In September 2014, his approval rating was down to 13% according to an IFOP/JDD survey, making him the first French leader in modern times to ever break the 20% threshold.
One year before the end of his mandate, in April 2016, his approval rating was at 14%, and surveys predicted that if he were to run for a second term, he would be defeated in the first round of the 2017 presidential elections.
For over thirty years, his partner was fellow Socialist politician Ségolène Royal, with whom he has four children: Thomas (1984), Clémence (1985), Julien (1987) and Flora (1992).
In June 2007, just a month after Royal's defeat in the French presidential election of 2007, the couple announced that they were separating.
A few months after his split from Ségolène Royal was announced, a French website published details of a relationship between Hollande and French journalist Valérie Trierweiler.
The claim brought an angry reaction and rejection from Hollande, who said he had spent his life dedicated to the under-privileged.
It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system.
Filgrastim is also used to increase the number of hematopoietic stem cells in the blood before collection by leukapheresis for use in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
The most commonly observed adverse effect is mild bone pain after repeated administration, and local skin reactions at the site of injection.
Other observed adverse effects include serious allergic reactions (including a rash over the whole body, shortness of breath, wheezing, dizziness, swelling around the mouth or eyes, fast pulse, and sweating), ruptured spleen (sometimes resulting in death), alveolar hemorrhage, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and hemoptysis.
Severe sickle cell crises, in some cases resulting in death, have been associated with the use of filgrastim in patients with sickle cell disorders.
Increased hematopoietic activity of the bone marrow in response to growth factor therapy has been associated with transient positive bone imaging changes; this should be considered when interpreting bone-imaging results.
G-CSF regulates the production of neutrophils within the bone marrow; endogenous G-CSF is a glycoprotein produced by monocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells.
G-CSF is a colony stimulating factor which has been shown to have minimal direct in vivo or in vitro effects on the production of other haematopoietic cell types.
In 2015, Sandoz's filgrastim-sndz (trade name Zarxio), obtained the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a biosimilar.
This was the first product to be passed under the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (BPCI Act), as part of the Affordable Care Act.
The FDA said its approval of Zarxio is based on review of evidence that included structural and functional characterization, animal study data, human pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics data, clinical immunogenicity data and other clinical safety and effectiveness data that demonstrates Zarxio is biosimilar to Neupogen.
Desmond Dillon Paul Morton (September 10, 1937 – September 4, 2019) was a Canadian historian who specialized in the history of the Canadian military, as well as the history of Canadian political and industrial relations.
Born in Calgary, Alberta, Morton was the son of a Brigadier General, and the grandson of General Sir William Dillon Otter.
He was a graduate of the Collège militaire royal de St-Jean, the Royal Military College of Canada, a Rhodes Scholar, Keble College, Oxford, and the London School of Economics.
Morton was the Hiram Mills Professor of History at McGill University, as well as the past director of the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada, in Montreal, Quebec.
In the 1970s he worked with David Lewis, Stephen Lewis, and other party leaders to oppose The Waffle, a left-wing faction within the NDP.
Morton's widow Gael Eakin, to whom he was married for 20 years, announced that he died on September 4, 2019, six days short of his 82nd birthday.
Morton was the Founding Director of the Montreal-based McGill Institute for the Study of Canada which was established in 1994 with the support of McGill University and the Bronfman family.
To generate a member of the sequence from the previous member, read off the digits of the previous member, counting the number of digits in groups of the same digit.
No digits other than 1, 2, and 3 appear in the sequence, unless the seed number contains such a digit or a run of more than three of the same digit.
There are 92 elements containing the digits 1, 2, and 3 only, which John Conway named after the chemical elements up to uranium, calling the sequence audioactive.
In his original article, Conway gives an incorrect value for this polynomial, writing − instead of + in front of formula_4.
Other versions of the pea pattern are also possible; for example, instead of reading the digits as they first appear, one could read them in ascending order instead.
For these maximum bounded cases, individual elements of the sequence take the form a0b1c2d3e4f5g6h7i8j9 for decimal where the letters here are placeholders for the digit counts from the preceding element of the sequence.
Ségolène Royal (; born 22 September 1953), is a French politician and former Socialist Party candidate for President of the French Republic.
She won the 2006 Socialist Party primary, becoming the first woman in France to be nominated as a presidential candidate by a major party.
In the subsequent 2007 presidential election, she earned further distinction as the first woman to qualify for the second round of a presidential election, but ultimately lost to Nicolas Sarkozy.
In 2008, Royal narrowly lost to Martine Aubry in the Socialist Party's election for First Secretary at the Party's twenty-second national congress.
She lost the Socialist Party presidential primary in 2011, and failed in an attempt to win a seat in the National Assembly in the June 2012 parliamentary elections.
Ségolène Royal was born on 22 September 1953 in the military base of Ouakam, Dakar, French West Africa (now Senegal), the daughter of Hélène Dehaye and Jacques Royal, a former artillery officer and aide to the mayor of Chamagne (Vosges).
After secondary school in the small town of Melle, Deux-Sèvres, Marie-Ségolène attended a local university where she graduated 2nd in her class with a degree in Economics.
In 1972, at the age of 19, Royal sued her father because he refused to divorce her mother and pay alimony and child support to finance the children's education.
She was in the same class as her former partner of 30 years, François Hollande, as well as Dominique de Villepin (prime minister under Jacques Chirac).
On 28 March 2004, she obtained 55% in the second round in the regional election in Poitou-Charentes, notably defeating Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin's protégée, Élisabeth Morin, in his home region.
She kept her National Assembly seat until June 2007, when she chose not to run in the legislative election, in agreement with one of her presidential campaign's promises.
She organised a run-off between two contenders; the winner, Delphine Batho, went on to win the district for her and Royal's party.
The government backed down and stated that the law would be put on the statute book, but that it would not be applied.
Until that time, she had not been thought a likely candidate as she had stayed out of the Socialist Party's power struggles.
She has said that only widespread sexism in the Socialist Party had prevented it from rallying around her candidacy as it would have had she been a man.
At this point, polls showed her to be much more popular than her closest competitor, former Prime Minister Lionel Jospin, and other Socialist heavyweights Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Jack Lang, another former Prime Minister Laurent Fabius and François Hollande.
Her status as a presidential candidate became more likely on 28 September 2006, when Lionel Jospin, the Socialist former Prime Minister and a fixture in French politics for nearly three decades, announced that he would not run after all.
On 16 November, Royal defeated Laurent Fabius and Dominique Strauss-Kahn in the French Socialist Party primary, becoming the party's candidate for the 2007 presidential election.
One of her top advisors, Éric Besson, resigned soon afterwards over a disagreement about the costs of this programme, which he believes could reach €35 billion, while others in the campaign team wanted to delay bringing out that figure.
In it, Besson accuses Royal of being a populist, an authoritarian and a luddite and says that he will not vote for her and hopes that she is not elected.
He then went on to join the Sarkozy campaign and was rewarded with a junior position in the next government on 18 May 2007.
Following the first round of the presidential election, she faced Nicolas Sarkozy in the second round of voting on 6 May in a two-way runoff.
Royal entered the leadership election of the Socialist Party to replace her former common law husband François Hollande as head of the party.
She garnered the largest plurality of votes in the first round of voting, but not enough to win outright; she was eventually narrowly defeated in the second round by rival Martine Aubry by the margin of 42 votes.
She arrived 4th in the first round on 9 October 2011 with a mere 6.95% of votes, considerably below the figures suggested by opinion polls.
In the 2008 Socialist Party leadership election, Hollande backed another candidate, and Royal has blamed him and the party establishment for her 2007 Presidential defeat.
On 2 April 2014 Royal was appointed Minister of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy in the second cabinet of Prime Minister Manuel Valls, In January 2015 she was third in line in governmental rank, after the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister.
When Pope Francis touched down on French soil for the first time in his papacy with a visit to the European Parliament in Strasbourg in November 2014, Royal was the senior French official there to greet him.
After the deadly attacks against a satirical newspaper and a kosher supermarket in January 2015, she traveled to Israel to represent France at the memorial services.
When Emmanuel Macron was elected French President in May 2017, Royal hoped to be offered a position in his government but instead was offered the position of Ambassador for the Poles which she accepted in June 2017.
Royal stated as part of her 100-point platform that if elected, she would raise the lowest state pensions by five percent, increase the monthly minimum wage to €1,500, raise benefits of handicapped citizens, implement state-paid rental deposits for the poorest citizens, and guarantee a job or job training to every student within six months of graduation.
She did not directly address whether additional taxes would need to be raised to fund these programs, stating that they can be paid for by cutting waste in government.
In January 2006, she criticised secondary school teachers (workers of state public service) who give private lessons outside school hours, saying that they should spend more time in school.
When a bootleg video of the speech surfaced on the Internet in November 2006, the teachers' union SNES rebuffed her, requesting that she renounce her proposal.
A law passed in February 2002, introduced by Royal on behalf of the Jospin government, allows some parental authority to be granted to same-sex partners.
The law amended Article 377 of the Civil Code in allowing a parent to ask a judge to share his/her parental authority with a partner.
According to her 2007 campaign website, Royal has advocated a policy of more humane prisons and supports creating better conditions inside penal institutions.
She initially took a very hard line in a televised debate, contending that any nuclear power programme in Iran must be prevented since it would inevitably lead to weapons production.
When she was criticised by French politicians for not understanding the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty – which gives signatories the right to nuclear power for non-military purposes – Royal softened her position and, through a spokesman, said that a civil nuclear program should be allowed as long as UN inspectors were permitted to conduct spot checks.
From December 2006 Royal began travelling abroad extensively to enhance her international profile and credibility, but her efforts were set back by a series of blunders, which her political opponents at UMP were quick to jump on.
She was immediately reminded by her opponents at home that the Chinese system orders 10,000 executions each year, and that defence lawyers there must be authorised by the Communist Party.
She however brought up with her hosts the fate of three Chinese journalists recently imprisoned, and criticised the meekness of French entrepreneurs in tackling new markets such as China.
Royal was criticised by French and international media by what was called 'mangling the French language' in a soundbite delivered on the Great Wall of China.
In January 2007, during a meeting with Quebec opposition leader and Parti Québécois head André Boisclair, she declared her support for the Quebec sovereignty movement in its aim to secede from Canada.
On 5 April 2007, when commenting on the kidnapping of two Frenchmen by the Taliban in Afghanistan, Royal called for sanctions to be imposed by the United Nations against regimes like the Taliban.
This comment was widely interpreted as indicating that Royal did not understand that the Taliban no longer formed the Afghan government and that she was clueless on international matters.
Royal's eldest son, Thomas Hollande, served as an adviser to her during her presidential candidacy, working on a website designed to appeal to young voters.
Royal's cousin Anne-Christine Royal followed the paternal side of the family and has been a candidate of the far-right Front National party at a local election in Bordeaux.
Prefects are appointed by a decree of the President of the Republic in the Council of Ministers, following the proposal of the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Interior.
The exact role and attributions are defined in decrees, most notably decrees of 1964, 1982, 2004, each replacing the preceding one.
The prohibition on smoking or leaving the motor running while filling the fuel tank of a motor vehicle is another example of a matter typically decided by a prefectoral administrative order.
This was especially true during the First and Second Empires, when even the most trivial local matter had to be referred to the prefect.
Since 1982, local government has been progressively decentralized, and the prefect's role has largely been limited to preventing local policies from conflicting with national policy.
Sydney Biddle Barrows (born January 14, 1952) is an American businesswoman who became known as an escort agency owner under the name Sheila Devin; she later became known as the Mayflower Madam.
Her father is Donald Byers Barrows, Jr. (born 1926) of Rumson, N.J, and her mother is Jeannette Ballantine, who is now married to Felix Molzer, a musician and director of the Monmouth Arts Center in New Jersey.
She was introduced to the world of high-class prostitution and started her own escort service named Cachet, which existed in New York City from 1979 to 1984.
In October 1984, Cachet escort service was shut down, Barrows was arrested, and the Manhattan District Attorney's Office charged her with promoting prostitution.
When arrested at her home office on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Barrows identified herself as Sheila Devin; one report describes her as the CEO.
During his 40-year career, Haas bridged the gap between photojournalism and the use of photography as a medium for expression and creativity.
In addition to his coverage of events around the globe after World War II, Haas was an early innovator in color photography.
As a painter, he had particular interest in an artwork's formal qualities, and developed a refined sense of composition and perspective.
From 1935 to 1938, Haas attended LEH Grinzing, a private school in Vienna, where he studied art, literature, poetry, philosophy, and science.
Haas was sent to a German army labor camp, working six hours a day in exchange for two daily hours of school attendance.
Haas was only able to complete one year of medical school before he was forced out as a result of his Jewish ancestry.
Unsure of his career path, Haas realized that photography could provide both a means of support and a vehicle for communicating his ideas.
He obtained his first camera in 1946, at the age of 25, trading a 20-pound block of margarine for a Rolleiflex on the Vienna black market.
In 1947 Haas presented his first exhibition at the American Red Cross in Vienna, where he had a part-time position teaching photography to soldiers.
Influenced by Bischof's work, Haas began to consider how an image could simultaneously tell a story and function as an autonomous work of art.
In 1947, while scouting locations for a fashion shoot, Haas and Morath witnessed prisoners of war disembarking a train and began documenting their arrival.
Upon reviewing his work, Capa invited Haas to travel to Paris and join the international photographic cooperative Magnum Photos, then two years old.
With this position, Haas was able to obtain the proper documentation, and he arrived in New York in May of that year.
By the time of Haas's arrival, the streets of New York had already become a popular subject for photographers who sought to document all aspects of life.
In 1952 Haas hitchhiked across the United States to White Sands National Monument in New Mexico, planning to photograph Native Americans.
According to writer (and early Magnum employee) Inge Bondi, Haas’ Western chronicle was the first major story he created based on his own instinct and at his own financial risk.
He had experimented with color as early as 1949, but this would be his first opportunity to work with what was still a scarce and expensive medium.
Though Haas continued to use black-and-white film for much of his career, color film and visual experimentalism became integral to his photography.
Beyond the physical place, person, or object he depicted, Haas hoped to reflect the joy of looking and of human experience.
While on such assignments, he would make his own photographs, translating his passion for poetry, music, painting, and adventure into color imagery.
His reputation on the rise, Haas traveled the world, photographing the U.S., Europe, South Africa, and Southeast Asia in expressionistic color.
In the late 1940s, Haas switched from his medium format Rolleiflex to the smaller 35mm Leica rangefinder camera, which he used consistently for the rest of his career.
An expensive, complex process most frequently used at the time for advertising, dye transfer allowed for great control over color hue and saturation.
Despite this progress, many photographers, curators, and historians were initially reluctant to consider color photography as art, given the technology's commercial origins.
It was realized by Steichen’s successor John Szarkowski, and consisted of about 80 prints including Haas’s motion studies and color essays.
In addition to editorial journalism and unit stills work, Haas was also highly regarded for advertising photography, contributing groundbreaking campaigns for Volkswagen automobiles and Marlboro cigarettes, among other clients.
The book was produced in multiple editions in numerous languages through 1988, selling over 350,000 copies to become one of the best-selling photography books of all time.
He also began work on a book devoted to Japan and a project illustrating the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke, whose writings inspired him throughout his life.
Throughout the series, Haas demonstrated what makes a successful photograph, illustrating how images can be transformed by the slightest variations of technique, perspective, or choice of tools and materials.
Haas also taught frequently at photography workshops, including the Maine Photographic Workshops, the Ansel Adams Workshop in Yosemite National Park, and the Anderson Ranch Arts Center near Aspen, Colorado.
Six years before his death, he met Takiko Kawai, who he credited with introducing him to the culture and traditions of Japan.
In the early 1970s Haas became interested in creating audiovisual slideshows—long sequences of projected imagery with accompanying soundtracks, dissolving from one image into the next.
After suffering a stroke in December 1985, Haas concentrated on layouts for two books he wanted to publish, one featuring his black and white photographs, the other his color.
At the time of his death from a stroke on September 12, 1986, he had been preparing to write his autobiography.
A number of awards have been created in Haas's honor, including the Ernst Haas Award for Creative Photography by the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP); and the Ernst Haas Photographers Grant, funded by Kodak, at the Maine Photographic Workshops.
In 1998 the Ernst Haas Studio archive was sent to London to be housed at the Hulton Getty Picture Library as part of a licensing agreement with Getty Images.
An askari (from Swahili: Askari, means: soldier, or military) was a local soldier serving in the armies of the European colonial powers in Africa, particularly in the African Great Lakes, Northeast Africa and Central Africa.
During the period of the European colonial empires in Africa, locally recruited soldiers were employed by Italian, British, Portuguese, German and Belgian colonial armies.
They played a crucial role in the conquest of the various colonial possessions, and subsequently served as garrison and internal security forces.
During both World Wars, askari units also served outside their colonies of origin, in various parts of Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
From 1895 the British askaris were organised into a regular, disciplined and uniformed force called the East African Rifles, later forming part of the multi-battalion King's African Rifles.
They were harshly disciplined but well paid (on a scale twice that of their British counterparts in the King's African Rifles), and highly trained by German cadres who were themselves subject to a rigorous selection process.
They were successfully used in German East Africa where 11,000 askaris, porters and their European officers, commanded by Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck, managed to resist numerically superior British, Portuguese and Belgian colonial forces until the end of World War I in 1918.
Due to interruptions during the worldwide depression and World War II, the parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) voted in 1964 to fund the back pay of the askaris still alive.
The West German embassy at Dar es Salaam identified approximately 350 ex-askaris and set up a temporary cashiers office at Mwanza on Lake Victoria.
Only a few claimants could produce the certificates given to them in 1918; others provided pieces of their old uniforms as proof of service.
The banker who had brought the money came up with an idea: each claimant was handed a broom and ordered in German to perform the manual of arms.
The Italian army in Italian East Africa recruited Eritrean and subsequently Somali troops to serve with Italian officers and some NCOs.
Many of the Askaris in Eritrea were drawn from local Nilotic populations, including Hamid Idris Awate, who reputedly had some Nara ancestry.
Of these troops, the first Eritrean battalions were raised in 1888 from Muslim and Christian volunteers, replacing an earlier Basci-Buruk corps of irregulars.
Expanded to eight battalions, the Eritrean ascaris fought with distinction at Serobeti, Agordat, Kassala, Coatit and Adwa and subsequently served in Libya and Ethiopia.
Out of a total of 256,000 Italian troops serving in Italian East Africa in 1940, about 182,000 were recruited from Eritrea, Somalia and the recently occupied (1935–36) Ethiopia.
Eritrean regiments in Italian service wore high red fezzes with coloured tufts and waist sashes that varied according to each unit.
As examples, the 17th Eritrean Battalion had black and white tufts and vertically striped sashes; while the 64th Eritrean Battalion wore both of these items in scarlet and purple.
Guards were to receive $1,000 monthly salary and an $80,000 bonus if shot, but many have complained that the money was not paid or unfair fees assessed.
The guards work for recruiting agencies such as Askar Security Services, which are hired by Beowulf International, a receiving company in Iraq, which subcontracts their services to EOD Technologies, an American company hired by the U.S. Department of Defense to provide security guards for Camp Victory in Baghdad.
The Mentawai Islands Regency are a chain of about seventy islands and islets approximately off the western coast of Sumatra in Indonesia.
They cover 6,011.35 sq and had a population of 76,173 at the 2010 Census and 85,156 at the 2015 Census; the latest official estimate (as at mid 2019) is 93,070.
Throughout the Mentawai Islands, you can expect rugged untouched tropical wilderness and an extensive range of waves for surfers scattered along the reefs that surround the many islands.
While the fringe seasons can be hit or miss with swells, however, provides fewer crowds in the water and smaller surf for less capable surfers.
The islands have been separated from Sumatra since the mid-Pleistocene period, which has allowed at least twenty endemic species to develop amongst its flora and fauna.
In 1833, the region was hit with an earthquake, possibly similar in size to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake; another large earthquake struck in 1797.
On October 25, 2010, an earthquake in southern Sumatra led to a deadly tsunami that devastated villages in South and North Pagai.
On March 3, 2016, an earthquake of 7.8 magnitude occurred off the Indian Ocean, a few hundred kilometres from Mentawai islands, as a result of strike-slip faulting within the oceanic lithosphere of the Indo-Australia plate.
He served as Director-General of the BBC between July 1982 and January 1987, when he was forced to resign from his post by the BBC Governors following several difficult years for the Corporation, which included sustained pressure from the Thatcher government about editorial decisions which had proved controversial.
He was taken under the wing of Grace Wyndham Goldie who recruited, trained, guided and encouraged many well-known BBC broadcasters and current affairs executives.
Landmark broadcasting events during his time as Director-General included Live Aid, the massive music event precipitated by a BBC news report on famine in Africa.
On top of this, Milne had to defend the existence of the BBC to the Peacock Committee, which was considering the future of the BBC.
In an unprecedented step, Hussey convinced the Board of Governors that a change of direction was needed, and they forced Milne's resignation.
In computer science, graph reduction implements an efficient version of non-strict evaluation, an evaluation strategy where the arguments to a function are not immediately evaluated.
When represented as a tree, we can think of innermost reduction as working from the bottom up, while outermost works from the top down.
The concept of a graph reduction that allows evaluated values to be shared was first developed by Chris Wadsworth in his 1971 Ph.D. dissertation.
It is a consortium of state cricket associations and the state associations select their representatives who in turn elect the BCCI Chief.
In 1926, two representatives of the Calcutta Cricket Club travelled to London to attend meetings of the Imperial Cricket Conference, the predecessor to the current International Cricket Council.
Although technically not an official representative of Indian cricket, they were allowed to attend by Lord Harris, chairman of the conference.
The outcome of the meeting was the MCC's decision to send a team to India, led by Arthur Gilligan, who had captained England in The Ashes.
In a meeting with the Maharaja of Patiala and others, Gilligan promised to press for its inclusion in the ICC if all the promoters of the game in the land came together to establish a single controlling body.
An assurance was given and a meeting held in Delhi on 21 November 1927 and was attended by delegates from Patiala, Delhi, United Provinces, Rajputana, Alwar, Bhopal, Gwalior, Baroda, Kathiawar, Central Provinces, Sindh and Punjab.
A consensus was reached to create a board for control of cricket in India and on 10 December 1927, a unanimous decision to form a provisional board of control was taken.
With the surge of cricket in India, BCCI has become rather notorious for its monopoly and has suffered from corruption allegations.
The Supreme Court on 30 January 2017 nominated a four-member panel Committee of Administrators (Vinod Rai, Ramachandra Guha, Vikaram Limaye and Diana Edulji) to look after the administration of the BCCI in order to implement Lodha Committee reforms.
Vinod Rai, ex-CAG of India heads the four members panel to look after the administrative duties of the board until the fresh elections are called.
The media rights for 25 neutral venue one-day matches to be played over the next 5 years were awarded to Zee Telefilms for $219.16 million.
Although the Income Tax Department withdrew this exemption in 2007-08, BCCI only paid tax amounting to against its tax liability of in the 2009-10 financial year On 12 September 2006 BCCI, announced that it will spend 1,600 crore over the subsequent one year to upgrade the cricket stadiums around the country.
The totale amount of tax 462.22 crore, which was outstanding as on April 1, 2018, was cleared along with interest in September 2018 but The Department of Revenue has issued a notice for tax evasion to the BCCI.
The Department of Revenue has asked the BCCI to pay another outstanding income tax worth Rs 1,303 crore, according to details submitted by the Finance Ministry in Parliament in February, 2019.
Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck (20 March 1870 – 9 March 1964), also called the Lion of Africa (), was a general in the German Army and the commander of its forces in the German East Africa campaign.
For four years, with a force of about 14,000 (3,000 Germans and 11,000 Africans), he held in check a much larger force of 300,000 British, Indian, Belgian, and Portuguese troops.
Essentially undefeated in the field, Lettow-Vorbeck was the only German commander to successfully invade imperial British soil during the First World War.
Lettow-Vorbeck's tactics led to a famine that killed thousands of Africans and weakened the population, leaving it vulnerable to the influenza epidemic in 1919.
Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck was born into the Pomeranian minor nobility, while his father was stationed as an army officer at Saarlouis in the Prussian Rhine Province.
He did not participate in the subsequent genocide: having suffered injuries to his left eye and chest, he was evacuated to South Africa for treatment and recovery.
Before he could assume this command, however, his orders were changed and he was posted — with effect from 13 April 1914 — to German East Africa (Tanganyika, the mainland territory of present-day Tanzania).
While travelling to his new assignment, Lettow-Vorbeck formed what would prove to be a lifelong friendship with Danish author Karen Blixen (also known by her pen name of Isak Dinesen), who was travelling aboard the same liner.
Lettow-Vorbeck's plan for the war was relatively simple: knowing that East Africa would only be a sideshow to other theatres of war, he was determined to tie down as many British troops as he could.
He intended to keep them away from the Western Front, and in this way to contribute to the German war effort.
In August 1914 Lettow-Vorbeck was the commander of a military garrison of 2,600 German nationals and 2,472 African soldiers in fourteen Askari field companies.
Feeling the need to seize the initiative he disregarded orders from Berlin and the colony's Governor, Heinrich Schnee, who had attempted to achieve neutrality for German East Africa.
The attack began on November 2nd, 1914, and for the next four days the German forces fought the Battle of Tanga.
In 1915, he gained the men and artillery of the German cruiser which had been scuttled in the Rufiji River delta.
The cruiser had a capable crew under commander Max Looff, and its artillery pieces, converted to land use, became the largest standard guns used in the East African Theatre.
In March 1916 British forces under General J. C. Smuts and the Belgians under Charles Tombeur launched an offensive with 45,000 men near Tabora.
Continuing his resistance, Lettow-Vorbeck fought a crucial battle at Mahiwa in October 1917, where he inflicted 2,700 casualties on the British.
On its first day across the river, the column attacked the newly replenished Portuguese garrison of Ngomano and solved its supply problems for the foreseeable future.
The subsequent capture of a river steamer with a load of medical supplies, including quinine, satisfied some of its medical needs as well.
For almost a year Lettow-Vorbeck's men had lived off whatever was available, mainly provisions captured from the British and Portuguese; they had replaced their old rifles with new equipment and acquired machine guns and mortars after capturing Namakura (Nhamacurra in modern Mozambique) in July 1918.
On September 28th, 1918, Lettow-Vorbeck again crossed the Ruvuma River and returned to German East Africa, with the British still in pursuit.
On November 13th, 1918, two days after the armistice, he took the town of Kasama, which the British had evacuated, and continued heading south-west towards Katanga.
When he reached the Chambeshi River on the morning of November 14th, the British magistrate Hector Croad appeared under a white flag and delivered a message from the allied General Jacob van Deventer, informing Lettow-Vorbeck of the armistice.
He was instructed by the British to march north to Abercorn (now Mbala) to surrender his army, arriving there on 25 November.
The remains of his army at the time consisted of thirty German officers, 125 German non-commissioned officers and other enlisted ranks, 1,168 Askaris, and some 3,500 porters.
The war in East Africa set off a chain of events with devastating results for the natives and their German overlords.
He had thus established food depots along his intended line of march from Neu Moshi to the Uluguru Mountains, writing off famine in neighboring villages as a misfortune of war.
Scarcely any aid from Germany could penetrate the British naval blockade to alleviate the enormous supply deficiencies in the area, and only two ships succeeded in running the blockade and reaching the colony.
The zeppelin, LZ 104 (L 59), intended also as a morale-booster to the beleaguered East African troops, was designed to be dismembered on arrival and all its parts cannibalised as spares for the troops - the canvas of its hull used for tents, for example.
The airship reached the Sudan, in a single uninterrupted flight from Bulgaria, where it received a message from the German Admiralty that its planned landing area in East Africa was no longer in Lettow-Vorbeck’s hands.
The British later claimed the about-turn was a result of a fake radio message sent in German by British intelligence in Cairo stating that Lettow-Vorbeck had surrendered, but this has never been proven.
By late September of 1916, all of coastal German East Africa, including Dar es Salaam and the Central Railway, was under British control.
Lettow-Vorbeck and his caravan of Europeans, Askaris, porters, women, and children marched on, deliberately bypassing the tribal homelands of the native soldiers in an effort to prevent desertions.
When the end of the campaign eventually came, Smuts was in London and General J. L. van Deventer commanded East Africa.
In a review of the work on Lettow-Vorbeck by Uwe Schulte-Varendorff, historian Eckard Michels opines that Schulte-Varendorff convincingly demonstrates that the East African war, which cost the lives of a staggering 700,000 people, was by no means chivalric.
Rather, it was a humanitarian catastrophe for the native population, with Africans only supporting the German war effort due to the duress they were under.
Michels concedes, though, that many Askaris truly had some loyalty to the Germans if considering the fact the majority of them did not desert.
Eckard Michels also claims that Lettow-Vorbeck did not seek publicity out of opportunism or greed, morphing into a public figure because of the society at the time's desire for a reminder of times gone by.
The historian Michael von Herff says the loyalty of Askaris during the campaign had little to do with Von Lettow's character or his 'brand of discipline', but was due to them having formed a military caste within the colonial structure, which had largely separated itself from its members' tribal roots.
One of Lettow-Vorbeck's junior officers, Theodor von Hippel, used his experiences in Africa to form the Brandenburgers, the commando unit of the Abwehr intelligence agency in the Second World War.
Lettow-Vorbeck then lost his commission in the army in the summer of 1920 following the Kapp Putsch then working in Bremen as an import-export manager.
In June of 1926, Lettow-Vorbeck met Colonel Richard Meinertzhagen in Bremen, the British Intelligence officer with whom he had fought a battle of wits until December 1916, when Meinertzhagen was invalided.
Between May 1928 and July 1930, Lettow-Vorbeck served as a Reichstag deputy for the monarchist German National People's Party, which he left in 1930, after Alfred Hugenberg became the party leader.
Lettow-Vorbeck then joined the Conservative People's Party and ran for it in the election of 1930, where he gained the best result of the party in his electoral district of Upper Bavaria, but was not re-elected.
Thanks to his status among the German population, he was promoted to the rank of General for Special Purposes in 1938, at the age of 68, but was never recalled to active service.
His house in Bremen had been destroyed by Allied bombs, and he depended for a time on food packages from his friends Meinertzhagen and Smuts.
Of the 350 former soldiers who gathered, only a handful could produce the certificates that Lettow-Vorbeck had given them in 1918.
The German banker who had brought the money then had an idea: each claimant was asked to step forward, was handed a broom, and was ordered in German to perform the manual of arms.
The general magnanimously gives him a compass so Indiana can find his way back to his lines, and the two part as friends.
The Act established the British Railways Board, which took over the BTC's railway responsibilities from 1 January 1963 until the passing of the Railways Act 1993.
The Act put in place measures that enabled the closure of around a third of British railways the following year as a result of the Beeching report, as the Act simplified the process of closing railways removing the need for pros and cons of each case to be heard in detail.
By the end of 1960, British Railways had accumulated a deficit of some £500 million and the annual rate of increase of the deficit was estimated to be in the region of £100 million.
The Act sought primarily to remedy this situation by putting public transport operators on the same footing as private companies, reversing the policy that had been in place since the earliest days of transport law, namely that the carrier was a monopolist to be controlled and regulated by the State for the benefit of the public.
By virtue of Sections 36 and 38 of the Act, some of the debts of the BTC, including the funds invested in the failed 1955 Modernisation Plan, were written off or transferred to the Treasury.
The four Boards inherited the property, liabilities and functions of the BTC, but their activities were to be co-ordinated by the Minister of Transport, rather than a body separate from the government.
The Boards needed the consent of the Minister to borrow and for approval for projects involving large sums of money (Sections 19 and 27).
The Central Transport Consultative Committee took the place of a similar body that had been created under the Transport Act 1947 to represent users of the railway, and Area Transport Users Consultative Committees covered individual areas of the country.
The Committees were to make recommendations relating to the services provided by the four Boards, although their remit did not include the charges and fares.
A new procedure was set out for the closure of railway lines, Section 56(7) requiring that British Railways gave at least six weeks' notice of their intention to close a line and to publish this proposal in two successive weeks in two local newspapers in the area affected.
The notice would give the proposed closure dates, details of alternative transport services (including services which BR was to lay on as a result of closure) and inviting objections to a specified address.
Rail users affected by a closure could also send their objections to the Area Committee (this was not required to be specified in the Closure Notice) who would then report to the Minister of Transport.
The closure would not then be proceeded with until the Committee had reported to the Minister and he had given his consent to the closure.
Based on the report, the Minister could subject his consent to closure to certain conditions, such as the provision of alternative transport services.
They no longer had the status of common carrier transporting persons and goods for the public benefit, but were now bailees transporting goods and people like a private operator.
Much of the Act has been repealed and updated: further information can be found by searching for the act in the UK Statute Law Database .
This work is dedicated to Baron Joseph von Stutterheim as a gesture of gratitude for taking his nephew, Karl, into the army after a suicide attempt.
While Beethoven composed the quartet in six distinct key areas, the work begins in C minor and ends in C major.
The topic has been written about extensively from very early after its creation, from Karl Holz, the second violinist of the Schuppanzigh Quartet, to Richard Wagner, to contemporary musicologists today.
In G minor, this movement is in bar form with a coda, which serves as a slow, sombre introduction to the next movement.
On radio, Kato was initially played by Raymond Hayashi, then Roland Parker who had the role for most of the run, and in the later years Mickey Tolan and Paul Carnegie.
Kato was Britt Reid's valet, who doubled as The Green Hornet's masked driver and partner to help him in his vigilante adventures, disguised as the activities of a racketeer and his chauffeur/bodyguard/enforcer.
According to the storyline, years before the events depicted in the series, Britt Reid had saved Kato's life while traveling in the Far East.
A long-standing, but false, urban legend maintained that the switch from one to the other occurred immediately after the 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor.
In the TV series Kato (portrayed by Bruce Lee) is not at all a mechanic but a professional servant, a highly skilled driver, and a master of the art of war.
In all other versions of the story he is also a mechanic, with the creations of both the special automobile, the Black Beauty, and the Hornet's trademark sleeping gas and the gun that delivered it attributed to him.
It was due in part to Bruce Lee's portrayal of this character, that the Green Hornet became more well known, and that the martial arts became more popular in the United States in the 1960s.
In this version, he also used green sleeve darts as a ranged attack for situations in which hand-to-hand combat was either impossible or too risky.
The impression Lee made at the time is demonstrated by one of the TV series tie-in coloring books produced by Watkins & Strathmore.
In this comic, the TV/Bruce Lee version of Kato was the son of the Kato from the radio stories, and had the given name Hayashi as an homage to the character's first radio actor.
Her removal was explained by having the Kato family company, Nippon Today, needing her automotive designing services at its Zurich, Switzerland facility.
Mishi would return in Volume 2, appearing sporadically in the new costumed identity of the Crimson Wasp, on a vendetta against the criminal, Johnny Dollar.
2, #s 12 & 13, August & September 1992) that he had been an embezzling executive at the Swiss plant, whose actions she unwittingly began to expose.
Consequently, he had murdered her fiancé and his daughter in an attack that also caused the unknowingly pregnant Mishi, the main target, to miscarry.
During this period, Hayashi became romantically involved with District Attorney Diana Reid, daughter of the original Hornet, who even thought for a while that she had conceived his child.
In the last two issues, yet another Kato, a nephew to both of these named Kono, was brought in to allow the aging Hayashi to retire from crime-fighting, but the publisher's ceasing of operations prevented much of him being seen.
The first had him defending a Chinese temple, where he had studied kung fu, from the Communist government, while in the second he took the job of bodyguarding a heroin-addicted rock star.
Beyond the reversal of ethnicities, the latter added the claim that he and the future Hornet were cousins, and the art's depiction of this Hornet's unnamed paternal grandparents resembles Paul Reid and Mishi Kato.
The elder Kato, in this version a Japanese forced to act Filipino to avoid the suspicions and the racist charges against his people during WWII, retires his identity along with Britt Reid, and both men decide to devote themselves to their families, respectively raising their offspring Britt Reid Jr. and Mulan Kato.
However both offspring refuse Reid's and Kato's will: Mulan Kato, now clad in a close variation of her father's original outfit, storms off to confront the Yakuza, and Britt Reid Jr. manages to steal one of the Green Hornet costumes to help her, despite having little training on his own.
As the new Kato, Mulan is a strong, physically fit, silent warrior woman, able to perform amazing feats with uncanny strength and precision.
It starred The Shadow, the Green Hornet and Kato, The Spider and Zorro, and was written by Chris Roberson with art by Alex Ross and Dennis Calero.
In one scene, he is reminded of his predecessors, one of whom is represented by a picture of Bruce Lee in his TV Kato costume..
In the film Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen, released late September 2010 in Asia and early 2011 in the United States, there is a large feature of the Green Hornet.
The subplot consist of the main character Chen Zhen (played by Donnie Yen) dressing up as a mask vigilante (based on the Green Hornet's sidekick Kato) to stop Japanese assassinations and to protect the people.
The director has mentioned that since Bruce Lee played both Chen Zhen (in the 1972 film Fist of Fury) and Kato (in the 1960s television series The Green Hornet) before, the film was a tribute and dedication to Lee.
In this version, Kato is an orphan who ran away from the orphanage, and was originally employed by Britt Reid's father James as a car mechanic (also making his coffee with a specially-designed machine he had created for the purpose), joining Britt on the steps that lead to him becoming the Green Hornet as Britt concluded that they had both been wasting their potential.
Kato's martial art skills in this version of the series are so exceptional that he claims that time literally slows down for him when he gets an adrenaline rush in a dangerous situation, as well as his traditional role as mechanic and driver.
Jah Shaka was born in Clarendon Parish, Jamaica, an area which has produced numerous roots reggae stars, amongst them Toots Hibbert, Everton Blender, Barrington Levy and Freddie McGregor.
By the late 1970s Shaka's system had rapidly gained a large and loyal following due to the combination of spiritual content, high energy rhythms, massive sonority, and his dynamic personal style.
Shaka stayed true to his spiritual and distinct musical style during the 1980s when many other Sound Systems had started to follow the Jamaican trend towards playing less orthodox styles tending towards slack dancehall music.
The Jah Shaka Sound System continues to appear regularly in London, with occasional tours of the United States, Europe and Japan.
On his own record label he has released music from Jamaican artists such as Max Romeo, Johnny Clarke, Bim Sherman and Prince Alla as well as UK groups such as Aswad and Dread & Fred.
Artists featured on more recent releases include both established singers like Tony Tuff, and new emerging artists like Rockaway and Principle - who have sung over riddims produced by his son Malachi, known as Young Warrior.
Shaka believes it to be a testament to the quality of the message that he expounds in his choice of music and his Rastafarian beliefs.
Jah Shaka's music has had a profound influence on genres in the UK like Junglist, a ghetto style born out of the UK soundsystem culture.
Jah Shaka's son Young Warrior has now started his own sound system, to great acclaim.Drum and Bass is also deeply influenced by Jah Shaka's sound system frequencies, and a number of the DJ's who feature in that genre, such as Congo Natty frequently name check Shaka's sound.Don Letts has also frequently referenced the influence of Jah Shaka on John Lydon and on the punk scene as a whole.
Shaka has also established the Jah Shaka Foundation to carry out assistance with projects in Ghana, where the foundation has bought of land in Agri, 30 miles outside of Accra.
It has also managed to distribute medical supplies, wheelchairs, library books, carpentry tools, drawing materials and records to clinics, schools and radio stations in the Accra area establishing important links with the local communities.
The second son of Francis Lewis, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, Lewis fought in the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.
He served in the New York State Assembly (1789, 1792) and the New York State Senate (1811–1814) and was New York State Attorney General (1791–1801) and governor of New York (1804–1807).
Morgan Lewis was born on October 16, 1754, of Welsh descent, the second son of Francis Lewis (1713–1802) and Elizabeth (née Annisley) Lewis (1715–1778).
However, based on his father's advice, he attended the College of New Jersey (now Princeton), graduating in 1773, and began to study law.
From September 1, 1776, to the end of the war he was a colonel and the Quartermaster General for the Northern Department.
He was then appointed chief-of-staff to General Horatio Gates, with the rank of colonel, and accompanied him into Canada, and soon after congress appointed him quartermaster-general of the Northern Army.
In 1775, he planned and executed the night attack on Stone Arabia, and was in command at the battle of Crown Point, where he was accompanied by New York Governor George Clinton.
After the Revolution, Lewis completed his legal studies while living in Albany, New York, boarding at the riverside home of James Bloodgood.
In 1779, the tax list showed him living there with personal property valued at $2,000, one of the city's highest assessments.
He was elected to the New York State Assembly, 1789 and 1792, and the New York State Senate from 1811 to 1814.
He was New York State Attorney General (December 24, 1791 – October 28, 1801) and later Justice and Chief Justice (October 28, 1801) of the Supreme Court of New York.
He served as governor of New York from 1804 to 1807, defeating Vice President Aaron Burr in the race to succeed future vice president George Clinton as governor.
During his tenure, the United States Military Academy at West Point was established, the state's militia system was restructured, and educational improvements were sanctioned.
On April 30, 1807, he was defeated in his run for re-election by Daniel D. Tompkins, also a future vice president.
He was commissioned as a brigadier general on April 3, 1812, and promoted to major general on March 2, 1813, as part of his service on the Niagara Frontier.
Although the British position was captured, Lewis ordered Colonel Winfield Scott to break off the pursuit of the defeated British troops.
But for Lewis's over-caution, Scott might have been able to capture Major General John Vincent's entire division and greatly weaken the British defense of the Niagara Peninsula.
He procured the release of the American prisoners in Canada, advancing from his private fortune the money for its accomplishment, and also rewarding his own tenants who had served in or sent sons to the war, by allowing them free rent for the time they served in the army.
Lewis was an original member of the New York Society of the Cincinnati and served as the Society's President General from 1839 to 1844.
In 1792, Lewis, purchased an estate covering of about 334 acres (135 ha) in Staatsburg, New York ,and commissioned the construction of a colonial-style house.
In the summer of 1824, on his visit to the United States, the Marquis de Lafayette dined there on his way upriver to visit Lewis' brother-in-law, Chancellor Livingston.
In 1832, the house was destroyed by a fire, said to be an act of arson committed by disgruntled tenant farmers.
Vinod Kambli (; born 18 January 1972) is a former Indian cricketer, who played for India as a middle order batsman, as well as for Mumbai and Boland, South Africa.
He has the highest career batting average for an Indian test cricketer of 54 but he played his last Test when he was just 23 years old.
Thereafter, he was only considered to play one day cricket, although his last appearance in that format was also at the young age of 28.
He has appeared as a commentator on various television channels and worked with a Marathi News channel as a cricket expert for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.
He has also been a part of various reality shows and done a few serials and Bollywood films as an actor.
Kambli is currently a coach at the MCA Academy in Mumbai and TMGA Camps run by Sachin Tendulakar and Middlesex County Cricket Club.
The scoring system was dictated by the lack of space, and the higher a batsman hit the ball into the buildings the more runs he scored.
He shared an unbroken partnership of 664 runs with Sachin Tendulkar in a school cricket match against St. Xavier's School, Fort.
Kambli contributed 349 runs before their coach Acharekar forced the pair to declare the innings; he then took six wickets for 37 runs in St. Xavier's first innings.
in 1993 on his birthday, setting the record for becoming the first batsman to score an ODI hundred on his birthday and 106 against Zimbabwe at Kanpur in the 1996 World Cup.
On 15 August 2009, Kambli launched his Khel Bharti Sports Academy in Mumbai and announced his retirement from cricket as he wished to coach at Khel Bharti Academy.
Vinod Kambli first married Noella Lewis, who was working as a receptionist at Hotel Blue Diamond (in Pune) in the year 1998.
The band is fronted by vocalist Daryl Palumbo and guitarist Justin Beck, and was a major part of the Long Island music scene in the early 2000s.
The band has been influential in the progression of the underground music scene in the eastern United States and United Kingdom and on the post-hardcore genre, and are known for their intense live shows and frequent line-up changes.
At the time there were a bunch of bands coming out with two names in one like that, like mouthpiece, curbjaw, stuff like that.
Beck's primary instrument throughout this time was drums, but switched to bass guitar when Ariel Telford left the band in 1998, and then switched to lead guitar when Kris Baldwin left and Manuel Carrero joined the band in 1999.
From 1994-1999 the band did several demo recordings of some songs that would eventually appear on their official releases, as well as several other compositions that would not see official release.
The record was released independently on the label 2 Cents a Pop, and saw a re-release in 2001 without label affiliation.
The line-up on this record was Palumbo, Beck, Todd Weinstock, Manuel Carrero & Sammy Siegler (who left the band prior to the subsequent tour).
The music, accompanied with Palumbo's lyrics—which were often bitter and resentful towards particular characters he was discussing—and his singing style in itself—powerful and aggressive guttural screaming along with a melodic touch—created a unique dynamic.
Matters were somewhat worsened when Palumbo started to have bouts with his Crohn's disease on tour, as his aggressive performance style sometimes triggers a relapse, which has the potential to be fatal.
Larry Gorman of Orange 9mm officially took over drumming duties part-way through touring, which saw dates with Deftones and a six-week European tour with Soulfly.
The line-up continued to rotate following the conclusion of the tour when Manuel Carrero was kicked out by Roadrunner for being the only member to have date conflicts with touring.
They left Roadrunner, finding them problematic, and shopped the album to other labels and ended up signing a deal with Warner Bros. Records.
The line-up on this record was Palumbo, Beck (who also provided bass duties), Weinstock, and Shannon Larkin of Amen and later Godsmack, who provided drumming duties due to recording time constraints, as he had worked well with producer Ross Robinson in the past, although Larry Gorman was composing parts and officially the drummer of the band.
The band then toured extensively throughout 2002-2003, playing all over the world, including festival tours such as Warped Tour, Ozzfest and Snocore.
In October 2002, dates in Germany and the UK were cancelled when Palumbo was hospitalized in Paris after suffering a relapse of the Crohn's; he underwent intestinal surgery.
The band took a hiatus in 2004, while Palumbo was composing and performing with his new group Head Automatica—which included drummer Larry Gorman—and Beck worked on his band merchandise business.
In late 2004, Todd Weinstock, Dave Allen, and Larry Gorman were all fired from the band, fueling rumors that they had split up.
The band denied that they were splitting up and cited Palumbo's ongoing problems with Crohn's disease as one of the reasons for the hiatus.
They were initially meant to be main tour support for The Used, but Palumbo had further problems with his Crohn's (Head Automatica also cancelled all their US shows).
Manuel Carrero, who had been playing with a band named The Jiant, replaced Allen as bassist after nearly five years away from the group.
Along with new material was the confirmation that a new album would be released in 2007, with the new songs introduced at the shows included.
It was then announced on fan site Glassjaw.net that they would be playing a warm up show at the Camden Barfly on 6.7.7.
At the end of 2007, Glassjaw, for the first time, headlined in southern California in various venues such as the Avalon in Hollywood, the House of Blues in San Diego, and the Glasshouse in Pomona.
The band was one of the headlining acts of 2007's Saints & Sinners Festival at the Asbury Park Convention Hall in Asbury Park, New Jersey, along with Against Me!.
In 2008, Glassjaw returned to the UK, playing at the two-day festival Give It A Name in Sheffield on May 10, and in London on May 11.
Glassjaw's next release was highly anticipated, not only due to their last full-length release dating back to 2002, but also the delay and lack of information regarding its status and/or release.
The album was not produced by Ross Robinson, as with previous releases; instead Beck co-produced the album with his friend Jonathan Florencio.
A fifth, unnamed track had only freestyle vocals recorded, perhaps indicating that lyrics were yet to be written for the rest of the album at this point.
It was rumored prior to the official announcement that the album would be self-titled, and Beck hinted, though speculatively, at a possible digital release.
This has been affirmed in an October 29, 2008 interview with Beck, which also states the album has a split style, with the five songs featuring vocals sounding much unlike the rest of the album (indeed, four of these songs were played live as early as 2003, and possibly written in the previous year).
They removed all usual site material and links, replacing it with a Glassjaw flag backdrop (a green variant of the Puerto Rican flag), which linked to the band's official clothing line.
I said that only four songs, (ones that we have been playing live with this lineup), have vocals, but that's old news, anyway.
Although consensus is that Manny is simply filling in for Thursday's bassist and has no plans to join the band or leave Glassjaw, this has still sparked considerable discussion amongst fans.
It was initially unclear whether the EP was meant to be a promo for a full-length album, or if it would be the final Glassjaw release.
On July 20 2009, Palumbo confirmed through Revolt that there would be a new Glassjaw EP and LP to be released in the coming months.
In December 2009, it was announced that Manuel Carrero and Durijah Lang left Saves the Day in order to focus entirely on Glassjaw.
In August 2010, Glassjaw returned to the UK to headline the Hevy Music Festival held at the Port Lympne Wild Animal Park near Folkestone.
To promote an EP consisting of 5 new songs, Glassjaw presented a unique marketing program where fans were offered a free digital release in conjunction with a special limited product or event.
The band also encored their 1/1/11 show at the Best Buy Theater in New York with five new songs that Daryl confirmed would be on the bands forthcoming album to be released early in the year.
Glassjaw played two shows in the UK, at the London HMV Forum (March 30) and the Cardiff Solus (March 31), with support from Napalm Death and also headlined Soundfest (June 10), playing alongside other artists such as Brother Ali, Del the Funky Homosapien and If He Dies He Dies.
Glassjaw were also added to the Sonisphere festival line-up around this time were to perform Worship & Tribute in its entirety during their set.
However, it was announced on March 29, 2012 via Sonisphere's website that the festival was canceled due to issues in setting up the festival.
In the fall, the band played Riot Fest in Chicago, as well as an opening for Deftones at a Los Angeles show at the Greek Theater, and also played a headlining show in Santa Ana, California.
At the beginning of 2014, the band participated in the Soundwave Festival in Australia, as well as playing a few Australian club shows with The Dillinger Escape Plan.
In the summer of 2014, Glassjaw once again briefly returned to performing, playing a brief set at the Amnesia Rockfest (in Montebello, QC).
Later in the fall, the band played Riot Fest in both Denver and Toronto, Made In America Festival in Philadelphia, and Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, Texas, which would be the band's last performance with Carrero on bass and Lang on drums.
In July 2015 it was confirmed by drummer Durijah Lang that he and bass player Manuel Carrero quit the band in January.
Along with that performance, the band played a handful of performances including Wrecking Ball Festival, Heavy Montreal, Taste Of Chaos Festival, and Aftershock Festival, as well as a show opening for Coheed And Cambria in Asbury Park, New Jersey, and a headling show in San Francisco with Dance Gavin Dance.
Music news website Pitchfork stated that the band would be releasing a new album, but did not give detail on when the album would be released.
While it is currently unknown who performed drums and bass guitar on the album, The Dillinger Escape Plan drummer Billy Rymer announced on his Instagram account the day of the song's release that he was the one that performed drums on the track.
However, on May 18, 2016 it was announced that the band would be playing both Denver and Chicago dates of Riot Fest.
A flexi-disc format of the album containing 10 songs was sent to fans who previously had ordered Glassjaw merchandise through Justin Beck's MerchDirect company prior to an official announcement.
Elements of the late 1980s youth crew style of hardcore are prominent in their earlier recordings, and Youth of Today have been cited as an important influence.
Beck has cited Faith No More's attitude towards making music as an influence, while Palumbo has specifically cited Mike Patton as a huge influence on him.
Apart from this, Palumbo's lyrics are known to frequently quote other artists as a tribute, quoting acts such as Frank Zappa, Tori Amos, Gravediggaz, among others.
If it was up to me and him, we’d get together every weekend and make an album almost every few months.
But I think the most poignant and potent Glassjaw [comes from] us stockpiling the goodness until it’s time to do it.
They openly advise people not to buy their first full-length so as not to give the label money, and have repeatedly told fans at shows to illegally download the record.
They are a miserable fuckin' corporation that does not bend for their bands, does not give their bands anything and they're just terrible businessmen.
They had 2 cash cows, Slipknot and Nickelback, and every other project they had rode backseat to those bands, and then the second that the new Slipknot record came out and didn't go quadruple Platinum in the first few hours it was released they fuckin' turned their backs on Slipknot.
Their usage of dissonant melodies through their two guitarists, Justin Beck and Todd Weinstock, created a jazz-like sound that was unique and original for the genre.
Modern post-hardcore bands such as Funeral for a Friend, Night Verses, The Movielife and Letlive have named Glassjaw as a formidable influence.
They always taught me to go against the grain, pay more attention to dynamics and think outside of the box when writing songs.
They are omnivore but they mainly eat little insect, larva, and spiders during summer and they mainly eat seeds and nuts during winter.
It was introduced to Oahu in Hawaii between 1929–1941 and have since spread to other South Eastern islands of the Hawaiian chain.
Robert Young records that to encourage singing the cages of kept birds were covered with a wooden box with a small paper window that allowed only subdued light in.
Along with the return of the barn swallow the bush warbler's call is viewed by Japanese as a herald of springtime.
These floors have squeaking floorboards that resemble the Japanese bush warbler's low chirping, and are meant to be so designed to warn sleepers of the approach of ninja.
The nightingale's droppings contain an enzyme that has been used for a long time as a skin whitening agent and to remove fine wrinkles.
It is also the hometown of artists like Paul Valéry, Jean Vilar, Georges Brassens, Gregory Del Piero, Hervé Di Rosa, Manitas de Plata, and Robert Combas.
Built upon and around Mont St Clair, Sète is situated on the south-eastern hub of the Bassin de Thau, an enclosed salt water lake used primarily for oyster and mussel fields.
To its other side lies the Mediterranean, and the town has a network of canals which are link between the Étang de Thau and the Mediterranean Sea.
In 1703, when the Saint-Louis church was consecrated, Louis IX, patron of the port, also became the patron saint of the town.
Sète is the eastern starting point of the Canal du Midi, and the ending point of the Canal du Rhône à Sète.
Its train station Gare de Sète is approximately 15 minutes by train from Montpellier, and is also served by long distance trains to Bordeaux, Toulouse, Marseille and Paris.
The number traditionally assigned to it is based on the order of its publication; it is actually Beethoven's 14th quartet in order of composition.
It was premiered (in its original form) in March 1826 by the Schuppanzigh Quartet and dedicated to Nikolai Galitzin on its publication in 1827.
They follow the pattern of movements seen in the Ninth Symphony and occasionally elsewhere in Beethoven's work (opening, dance movement, slow movement, finale), except that the middle part of the cycle is repeated: opening, dance movement, slow movement, dance movement, slow movement, finale.
This new finale was written between September and November 1826—and is thus the last substantial piece of composition Beethoven completed before his death.
Beethoven never witnessed a performance of the quartet in its final form; it was premiered on 22 April, 1827, almost a month after his death.
The Cavatina (performed by the Budapest String Quartet) is the final piece on the Voyager Golden Record, a phonograph record containing a broad sample of Earth's sounds, languages, and music sent into outer space in 1977 with the two unmanned Voyager probes.
The area of Eastwood was merged with a few parts of the Renfrew District to form the East Renfrewshire unitary council area.
The Railways Act 1921 (c. 55), also known as the Grouping Act, was an Act of Parliament enacted by the British government and intended to stem the losses being made by many of the country's 120 railway companies, move the railways away from internal competition and retain some of the benefits which the country had derived from a government-controlled railway during and after the Great War of 1914–1918.
The British railway system had been built up by more than a hundred railway companies, large and small, and often, particularly locally, in competition with each other.
The parallel railways of the East Midlands and the rivalry between the South Eastern Railway and the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway at Hastings were two examples of such local competition.
Complete nationalisation had been considered, and the 1921 Act is sometimes considered as a precursor to that, but the concept was rejected; nationalisation was subsequently carried out after the Second World War, under the Transport Act 1947.
Geddes viewed the pre-war competition as wasteful, but was opposed to nationalisation on the grounds that it led to poor management, as well as a mutually corrupting influence between railway and political interests.
This suggested the formation of six or seven regional companies; additionally it suggested worker participation on the board of directors of the company.
Railways serving London were intended to form a separate regional group, but this amalgamation was delayed and took place in 1933.
Scottish railway companies wished to be incorporated into British groupings, and the RCA proposed five British regional monopolies including the Scottish businesses.
With a view to the reorganisation and more efficient and economical working of the railway system of Great Britain railways shall be formed into groups in accordance with the provisions of this Act, and the principal railway companies in each group shall be amalgamated, and other companies absorbed in manner provided by this Act.
Part 2 dealt with powers and regulation of the railway companies by the Railway and Canal Commission, part 3 dealt with railway rates, charges and conditions of carriage with powers given to a Railway Rates Tribunal, and part 4 with employee wages and conditions.
Parts 5 and 6 dealt with light railways and general clauses respectively, with the general clauses of part 6 including the requirement of the railway companies to provide the Minister of Transport with statistic and financial reports.
The third reading of the Act in the House of Commons took place on 9 August 1921, and was passed with a majority of 237 to 62; the act passed through the House of Lords and the Lord's amendments were accepted by the Commons on 19 August and Royal Assent given.
The state control of the railways which began under war conditions during World War I were to continue under the Ministry of Transport Act 1919 for a further two years.
The London suburban railway companies, such as the Underground Electric Railways Company of London and the Metropolitan Railway, were also excluded.
Later legislation under the London Passenger Transport Act 1933 amalgamated these and London area bus and tram operations into the London Passenger Transport Board (see List of transport undertakings transferred to the London Passenger Transport Board).
Other exempted railways were light railways authorised under the Light Railways Act 1896, and similar lines, although some such lines still chose to join the groups.
Those lines staying independent were principally those under the influence of Colonel Stephens, who had been instrumental in securing the necessary exemption.
Commissioned in late 1944, she participated in the latter part of the Pacific War in anti-aircraft screening and shore bombardment roles, for which she earned two battle stars.
Like all but one of her sister ships, she was retired in the post-war defense cutbacks, becoming part of the Pacific Reserve Fleet in 1947.
In the late 1950s she was converted to a guided missile cruiser, which involved removing all her guns except for her forward turret and mount, and rebuilding her entire superstructure to accommodate the Talos missile system and flagship office spaces and accommodation.
In her second career she served extensively in the Pacific, playing a prominent role in the Vietnam War, including participation in the evacuation of Saigon.
The ship would have received two 8-cell NATO Sea Sparrow surface-to-air missile (SAM) launchers and two Vulcan Phalanx CIWS systems, in addition to extensive rehabilitation of her propulsion systems, electrical systems, her hull and superstructure.
She received enough maintenance to soldier on for a few more years and was decommissioned for the last time in December 1979.
She conducted local operations until 22 May, when she sailed for Ulithi, thence to rendezvous on 6 June, with Carrier Task Group 38.1 for operations in support of the Okinawa campaign.
For the rest of June, and into July, she screened 3rd Fleet carriers during their intensified air operations against Japanese forces.
On 18 July, she formed a bombardment group with other cruisers and destroyers, then rejoined the carrier task group for continued action against the Japanese home islands.
At the end of hostilities, she continued to patrol off the coast of Japan and it was not until 10 September, after seventy-two days of continuous steaming, that she finally entered Tokyo Bay.
She arrived at San Francisco on 14 February, where she remained until 15 August, when she entered the Mare Island Navy Yard for inactivation.
On 30 June 1947, she was placed out of commission in reserve, assigned to the San Francisco Group, US Pacific Reserve Fleet.
Her conversion having completed on 31 August 1960, she was towed to Hunter's Point where she recommissioned on 7 September, Captain Ben W. Sarver in command.
Following shakedown, she participated in several major training exercises while serving as flagship for Cruiser Division 3 (CruDiv 3) and Cruiser Destroyer Flotilla 9 (CruDesFlot 9), then departed 1 December, for a six-month deployment in WestPac.
The ship participated in SEATO training operations, received two awards for operational excellence, and served as an ambassador of good will to several cities in the Far East.
She then returned to Long Beach, California on 12 June 1962, and spent the next several months conducting local training operations and upkeep work.
Training exercises and operational visits to various ports in the Far East followed, then in June 1965, she began gunfire support missions off Vietnam.
Following her yard period, she began refresher training in the Southern California operating area in July 1967, and continued those exercises and intermittent calls to West Coast ports until she deployed again to the Western Pacific (WestPac) 7 November 1968.
The ship provided naval gunfire support for troops in South Vietnam, gunfire operations against coastal targets in North Vietnam and anti-aircraft operations in North Vietnam.
She also refueled from the replenishment ship and was visited by Rear Admiral Isaman, Commander Carrier Division Seven and Rear Admiral McClendon, Commander Carrier Division Nine.
Another accompanying ship, the destroyer was damaged by a direct hit from the second MiG flown by pilot Le Xuan Di, which destroyed her aft 5–inch gun mount.
Following this she was slated for a massive overhaul, as her flagship facilities, as well as her 6-inch guns made her an attractive asset to retain in service.
Her now obsolete Talos system would be removed and two Sea Sparrow SAM systems, and two Phalanx CIWS mounts would be fitted.
The Alliance for Progressive Government (APG), a political pressure group in the Isle of Man, was formed in 1991 as a grouping of members of the House of Keys (MHKs) who wanted to provide a coherent opposition to the Manx government.
Two more were elected at by-elections, giving them at one stage eight out of the 24 members of the House of Keys; but 3 MHKs resigned from the Alliance between 1996 and 2001.
The APG MHKs made a point of advancing alternative policies to the Isle of Man Government, as well as questioning and scrutinising government policy.
On 3 November she crossed the International Date Line and, continuing on, joined TF 38, the fast carrier force, at Ulithi at mid-month.
Through the remainder of the year she participated in that force's operations against Luzon and Formosa in support of the Philippine campaign.
In mid-January 1945, as the assault on Luzon pressed forward, the force sailed into the South China Sea and hit Japanese installations and shipping along the Indo-China coast and on Formosa.
After a brief respite at Ulithi and Leyte in June, the force sortied from Leyte Gulf for its last strikes against the enemy's home islands in early July, and from mid-month to mid-August pounded military and industrial complexes on the Tokyo Plain, northern Honshū, and Hokkaidō in anticipation of heavy resistance to what appeared inevitable—an invasion of Japan.
On 23 August she became flagship of TG 35.1, on the 27th she anchored in Sagami Wan, and on 1 September shifted to Tokyo Bay where she witnessed the official surrender ceremony the next day.
From November to February, 1947, she participated in division exercises in Micronesia, then, after fleet maneuvers in Hawaiian waters, returned to California.
For the next year she conducted local operations, including a trip up the Columbia River to Portland, OR for Navy Day 1947 then several months in dry dock at Bremerton, WA.
USS Pasadena returned to Portland, Oregon, for dismantling on the Willamette river after being sold for scrap on 5 July 1972 to Zidell Explorations of Portland.
Sir James Ian Raley Trethowan (20 October 1922 – 12 December 1990) was a British journalist, radio and television broadcaster and administrator who eventually became director-general of the BBC from 1 October 1977 to 31 July 1982, having previously been managing director of BBC network radio from 1970 to 1976.
Ian Trethowan was educated at the independent Christ's Hospital school near Horsham in West Sussex, and started work as a journalist and parliamentary lobby correspondent.
He became a presenter for Independent Television News in the late 1950s and early 1960s, co-presenting ITN's coverage of the 1959 general election.
He moved to the BBC in about 1963, and was part of Grace Wyndham Goldie's group of heavy hitting journalists which included Richard Dimbleby and Robin Day.
Trethowan told the press at the time that nobody from the government had seen the film or put pressure on the BBC but in fact he had met the heads of Security Service (MI5) and the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), shown them a tape of the programme and invited them to suggest cuts to it.
However, his genuflection to those in power ensured that his five years in charge of the BBC were generally very stable and secure for the organisation.
In 1979, when Trethowan was director-general, the BBC governors scuppered a plan to broadcast Michael Parkinson's chat show three nights a week, probably because the idea seemed too populist.
Trethowan's final months at the BBC saw the Thatcher government dissatisfied with what it saw as the corporation's insufficiently patriotic coverage of the Falklands War.
Kilmarnock and Loudoun () was one of nineteen local government districts in the Strathclyde region of Scotland from 1975 to 1996.
The name Kilmarnock and Loudoun continues to be used for a constituency of the House of Commons and, covering a similar area, a Kilmarnock and Loudoun constituency of the Scottish Parliament.
After serving in the Hong Kong Police Force, he was elected to the House of Keys in 1986, where he represented Ayre until 2004.
He was a staunch opponent of the Isle of Man's decision to decriminalise homosexual acts in 1991, following pressure from the British government.
Edgar Quine is the current leader of the Manx political party, the Alliance for Progressive Government and served as deputy Speaker of the House of Keys between 2002 and 2004.
After fitting out, the cruiser departed Philadelphia on 3 January 1938 for shakedown in the West Indies followed by additional alterations at Philadelphia and further sea trials off the Maine coast.
In the following months, she called at principal ports of the West Indies, and at New York City, Boston, and Norfolk, Virginia.
She departed Los Angeles, California on 2 April 1940 for Pearl Harbor, where she engaged in fleet maneuvers until May 1941.
In September 1940, fifteen of the ship's African American mess men wrote an open letter to a newspaper protesting the treatment of African Americans in the Navy.
The incident drew protests from hundreds of mess men on other ships as well as anger in the African American community, and led to a series of meetings between Roosevelt and NAACP leaders A. Philip Randolph and Walter White to discuss partial desegregation of the armed forces.
At this point, she commenced Neutrality Patrol operations, steaming as far south as Bermuda and as far north as Halifax, Nova Scotia.
She entered Boston Navy Yard on 25 November for upkeep, and was in repair status there when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
She then joined units of Task Force 22 (TF 22) at Norfolk on 16 May, departing two days later for an anti-submarine warfare sweep to the Panama Canal.
She then returned to New York, only to depart on 1 July as an escort unit for a convoy bound for Greenock, Scotland.
This force was to land some 35,000 troops and 250 tanks of General George Patton's Western Task Force at three different points on the Atlantic coast of French Morocco.
which was to carry 6,423 troops under Major General Ernest N. Harmon, with 108 tanks, to the landing at Safi, Morocco, about 140 mi (220 km) south of Casablanca.
The entire Western Naval Task Force, consisting of 102 ships and spanning an ocean area some 20 × 40 mi (30 × 60 km), combined off Cape Race on 28 October.
But after dark, a southeasterly course was plotted towards Casablanca, and shortly before midnight on 7 November, three separate task groups closed three different points on the Moroccan coast.
She then joined Rear Admiral Alan G. Kirk’s TF 85 for training in Chesapeake Bay preparatory to the invasion of Sicily.
A convoy escorted by Philadelphia and nine destroyers sortied from Norfolk on 8 June and arrived Oran, Algeria on 22 June, where final invasion staging operations took place.
The convoy stood out from Oran on 5 July, and arrived off the beaches of Scoglitti, Sicily shortly before midnight of 9 July.
By 15 July, she had joined the gunfire support group off Porto Empedocle, where her guns were put to good use.
During her operations in support of the invasion of Sicily, the cruiser had provided extensive gunfire support and, in beating off several hostile air attacks, had splashed a total of six aircraft.
While bombarding targets off Aropoli on 15 September, the cruiser downed one of 12 attacking planes and assisted in driving off a second air attack the same day in the vicinity of Altavilla.
She downed two more hostile aircraft on 17 September and cleared the gunfire support area that night, bound for Bizerte, Tunisia.
The cruiser served as one of the escorting units for the group, which reached the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, France, on 15 August.
Four days later, her commanding officer, Captain Walter A. Ansel, accepted the surrender of the fortress islands of Pomeques, Château d'If, and Ratonneau in the Bay of Marseilles.
After gunfire support missions off Nice, she departed Naples on 20 October and returned to Philadelphia, Pa., arriving on 6 November.
Philadelphia underwent overhaul at the Philadelphia Navy Yard and then refresher training in the West Indies, returning to Norfolk, Virginia on 4 June 1945.
She steamed for Antwerp, Belgium on 7 July, acting as escort for which had embarked President Harry S. Truman and his party, including Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and Fleet Admiral William D. Leahy.
Steaming for Le Havre, France on 14 November, she embarked Army passengers for the return to New York on 29 November.
Struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 9 January 1951, she was sold to the government of Brazil under terms of the Mutual Defense Assistance Program.
A sonata-allegro form in time, the first movement progresses quickly through startling changes in tone and dynamics, and is characterised by an economic use of themes.
It consists of a down-and-up arpeggio in dotted rhythm that cadences on the tonicized dominant, immediately repeated a semitone higher (in G).
the flattened supertonic) is an important structural element in the work, also being the basis of the main theme of the finale.
The choice of F minor becomes very clear when one realises that this movement makes frequent use of the deep, dark tone of the lowest F on the piano, which was the lowest note available to Beethoven at the time.
A set of variations in D major, on a theme remarkable for its melodic simplicity combined with the use of unusually thick voicing and a peculiar counter-melody in the bass.
Its sixteen bars (repeated) consist of nothing but common chords, set in a series of four- and two-bar phrases that all end on the tonic.
The fourth variation ends with a deceptive cadence containing the dominant chord that resolves to a soft diminished seventh, followed by a much louder diminished seventh that serves as a transition (without pause) to the finale.
A sonata-allegro in near-perpetual motion in which, very unusually, the second part is directed to be repeated, and not the first.
It has much in common with the first movement, including extensive use of the Neapolitan sixth chord and several written-out cadenzas.
The movement climaxes with a faster coda (at presto speed as seen above and in many editions) introducing a new theme which in turn leads into an extended final cadence in F minor.
The total performance time of this movement is about 7 to 8 minutes with the repeats and about to 6 minutes without them.
Gennaro Louis Vitaliano was born in the Bronx, New York, to Italian immigrant parents, and grew up in the Wakefield section of the Bronx which at the time was composed mainly of Italian-American families.
His early nightclub performances led to additional shows in the early 1950s, including one lasting for three years at the Enchanted Room, a club in Yonkers, New York.
When Paul Insetta (road manager for singer Guy Mitchell and hit songwriter) heard him there, he signed him to a management contract and further coached him.
The third ship to bear this name, it was laid down on 3 February 1943 by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation's Fore River Shipyard at Quincy, Massachusetts; launched on 22 February 1944, sponsored by Mrs Cornelius D. Scully, wife of the Mayor of Pittsburgh; and commissioned at Boston on 10 October 1944, with Capt.
After calling in Panama and final gunnery exercises in the Hawaiians, she joined TF 58 at Ulithi on 13 February, assigned to TG 58.2 formed around the aircraft carrier .
Carrier air strikes against airfields near Tokyo on 16 and 17 February limited Japanese air response to the initial landings on 19 February.
The force sailed from Ulithi on 14 March to pound airfields and other military installations on Kyūshū on 18 March, and again the next day.
The Japanese struck back at dawn on the 19th, with an air raid which set the carrier ablaze, her decks utter chaos and power lost.
After replenishing at Ulithi, the force sortied once more on 8 May to attack the Nansei Shoto and Southern Japan in the continuing fight for Okinawa.
The 104-foot section of bow broke off owing to poor plate welds at the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Co. at the Fore River Shipyard, Quincy, Massachusetts, in April 1943.
Still under repair at war's end, she was placed in commission in reserve on 12 March 1946 and decommissioned on 7 March 1947.
She sailed on 20 October for the Panama Canal, trained out of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and prepared at Norfolk for a tour of duty with the 6th Fleet for which she sailed on 11 February 1952.
Returning on 20 May, she joined in the Atlantic Fleet's schedule of exercises and special operations in the western Atlantic and Caribbean.
During her second Mediterranean cruise, for which she sailed on 1 December, she flew the flag of Vice Admiral Jerauld Wright, Commander in Chief, Naval Forces Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean for a good-will cruise to the Indian Ocean in January 1953.
She returned to Norfolk in May for a major modernization overhaul, but rejoined the 6th Fleet at Gibraltar on 19 January 1954.
Once again she carried Admiral Wright to ports of the Indian Ocean during this cruise which ended with her return to Norfolk on 26 May.
On 21 October 1954, she passed through the Panama Canal to join the Pacific Fleet, with Long Beach her home port.
She sailed almost at once for the Far East, calling at Pearl Harbor on 13 November and reaching Yokosuka on 26 November.
She joined the 7th Fleet in exercises and to cover the Chinese Nationalist defense of the Tachen Islands and their evacuation of civilians and non-essential military personnel.
Leaving Japan on 16 February 1955, she resumed west coast operations until reporting at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard on 28 October for inactivation.
The ship remained there until stricken on 1 July 1973 and sold for scrap on 1 August 1974, to Zidell Explorations Corp., Portland, Oregon.
An anchor from USS Pittsburgh is on display in front of the Children's Museum, Allegheny Center, Pittsburgh, PA. Additionally, the ship's bell is on display in front of Pittsburgh's Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum.
Best known for his distinctive supporting and character roles—typically lowlifes, eccentrics, bullies, and misfits—Hoffman acted in many films, including leading roles, from the early 1990s until his death in 2014.
His mother, Marilyn O'Connor (née Loucks), came from nearby Waterloo and worked as an elementary school teacher before becoming a lawyer and eventually a family court judge.
His father, Gordon Stowell Hoffman, who was of German descent, was a native of Geneva, New York, and worked for the Xerox Corporation.
At the age of 14, Hoffman suffered a neck injury that ended his sporting activity, and he began to consider acting.
Encouraged by his mother, he joined a drama club, and initially committed to it because he was attracted to a female member.
At the age of 17, he was selected to attend the 1984 New York State Summer School of the Arts in Saratoga Springs, where he met his future collaborators Bennett Miller and Dan Futterman.
Between starting on the program and graduating from Fairport High School, he continued his training at the Circle in the Square Theatre's summer program.
Still considering stage work to be fundamental to his career, Hoffman joined the LAByrinth Theater Company of New York City in 1995.
This association lasted the remainder of his life; along with appearing in multiple productions, he later became co-artistic director of the theater company with John Ortiz, and directed various plays over the years.
Hoffman had only a brief role in the crime thriller, playing a cocksure young craps player, but it began the most important collaboration of his career.
Warmly received by critics, the film grew into a cult classic, and has been cited as the role in which Hoffman first showed his full ability.
Although it was only a small role, he claimed it was one for which he was most recognized, in a film that has achieved cult status and a large fan base.
Jake Coyle of the Associated Press rated Allen as one of the creepiest characters in American cinema, but critic Xan Brooks highlighted the pathos that Hoffman brought to the role.
Hoffman considered De Niro the most imposing actor with whom he had appeared, and he felt that working with the veteran performer profoundly improved his own acting.
Following a string of roles in successful films in the late 1990s, Hoffman had established a reputation as a top supporting player who could be relied on to make an impression with each performance.
Hoffman portrayed the enthusiastic rock critic Lester Bangs, a task by which he felt burdened, but he managed to convey the real figure's mannerisms and sharp wit after watching him in a BBC interview.
His brother Gordy wrote the script, which Hoffman had seen at their mother's house five years earlier, about a widower who starts sniffing gasoline to cope with his wife's suicide.
Both Lee and the film's lead Edward Norton were thrilled to work with Hoffman, and Lee confessed that he had long wanted to do a picture with the actor, but had waited until he found the right role.
Based on the true story of Toronto banker Brian Molony, who committed the largest fraud in Canadian history, Hoffman met with Molony to prepare for the role and help him play the character as accurately as possible.
Portraying the idiosyncratic writer proved highly demanding, requiring significant weight loss and four months of research – such as watching video clips of Capote to help him affect the author's effeminate voice and mannerisms.
Many critics commented that the role was designed to win awards, and indeed Hoffman received an Oscar, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Award, BAFTA, and various other critics' awards.
The film was a critical and commercial success, and along with his Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, Hoffman was nominated for a BAFTA and a Golden Globe Award.
Hoffman again showed his willingness to reveal unattractive traits, as the character ages and deteriorates, and committed to a deeply psychological role.
Hoffman was already familiar with the play and appreciated the opportunity to bring it to the screen; in preparing for the role, he talked extensively to a priest who lived through the era.
He played Max, a depressed New Yorker with Asperger syndrome, while Toni Collette voiced Mary – the Australian girl who becomes his pen pal.
The film critic David Thomson believed that Hoffman showed indecisiveness at this time, unsure whether to play spectacular supporting roles or become a lead actor who is capable of controlling the emotional dynamic and outcome of a film.
Despite earlier reservations about directing for the screen, his first release of the 2010s was also his first as a film director.
He originally intended only to direct the film, but decided to reprise the main role of Jack – a lonely limousine driver looking for love – after the actor he wanted for it was unavailable.
The film was well-received and Hoffman's performance, especially in the scenes opposite Paul Giamatti – who played the rival campaign manager – was positively noted.
Directed by Mike Nichols, the production ran for 78 performances and was the highest-grossing show in the Ethel Barrymore Theatre's history.
Set in 1950s America, the film featured Hoffman as Lancaster Dodd, the charismatic leader of a nascent Scientology-type movement who brings a troubled man (Joaquin Phoenix) under his tutelage.
He assisted Anderson in the writing of the script by reviewing samples of it, and suggested making Phoenix's character, Freddie Quell, the protagonist instead of Dodd.
Hoffman and Phoenix received a joint Volpi Cup Award at the Venice Film Festival for their performances, and Hoffman was also nominated for an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA Award and a SAG Award for the supporting role.
The film finished as the 10th-highest grossing in history to that point, and Hoffman became recognizable to a new generation of film-goers.
While some reports stated Hoffman and O'Donnell separated in the fall of 2013, some months before his death, his partner later stated that she had committed to stand by him, but that they were living separately to protect the children.
Hoffman was also discreet about his religious and political beliefs, but it is known that he voted for the Green Party candidate Ralph Nader in the 2000 presidential election.
Although friends stated that Hoffman's drug use was under control at the time, on February 2, 2014, the actor was found dead in the bathroom of his Manhattan apartment by a friend, playwright and screenwriter David Bar Katz.
Detectives searching the apartment found heroin and prescription medications at the scene, and revealed that he was discovered with a syringe in his arm.
Whether Hoffman had taken all of the substances on the same day, or whether any of the substances had remained in his system from earlier use was not reported.
A funeral was held at St. Ignatius Loyola Church in Manhattan on February 7, 2014, and was attended by many of his former co-stars.
Those who attended the funeral service included Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Julianne Moore, Ethan Hawke, Joaquin Phoenix, Laura Linney, Amy Adams, Michelle Williams, Marisa Tomei, Chris Rock, Ellen Burstyn, Louis C.K., Mike Nichols, and Diane Sawyer.
Hoffman's death was widely lamented by fans and the film industry, and was described by several commentators as a considerable loss to the profession.
On February 5, 2014, the LAByrinth Theatre Company honored his memory by holding a candlelight vigil, and Broadway dimmed its lights for one minute.
Hoffman left his fortune, around US$35 million, to Mimi O'Donnell in his October 2004 will, trusting her to distribute money to their children.
Hoffman was held in high regard within both the film and theater industries, and he was often cited in the media as one of the finest actors of his generation.
Despite this status among his peers and critics, he was never one of the most popular film stars, and has been overlooked in lists of all-time greatest actors.
He was not a typical movie actor, with a pudgy build and lacking matinée idol looks, but Hoffman claimed that he was grateful for his appearance as it made him believable in a wide range of roles.
Most of Hoffman's notable roles came in independent films, including particularly original ones, but he also featured in several Hollywood blockbusters.
He generally played supporting roles, appearing in both dramas and comedies, but was noted for his ability to make small parts memorable.
Hoffman occasionally changed his hair and lost or gained weight for parts, and he went to great lengths to reveal the worst in his characters.
He also received five Golden Globe Award nominations (winning one), five BAFTA Award nominations (winning one), four Screen Actors Guild Awards (winning one), and won the Volpi Cup at the Venice Film Festival.
Kyle and Carrick (A' Chùil agus a' Charraig in Scottish Gaelic) was one of nineteen local government districts in the Strathclyde region of Scotland from 1975 to 1996.
South Ayrshire council area was formed with identical boundaries to Kyle and Carrick District with the transfer of the Dalmellington district to the newly established East Ayrshire council area.
In May she departed on a goodwill cruise to Africa and after visiting Cape Town, Lagos, Freetown, Monrovia, Dakar, and Casablanca, steamed into the Mediterranean for calls at Naples, and Palermo before heading home.
Arriving at Naples on 7 December, she shifted around the peninsula to Trieste at the end of the month, and until February 1947 cruised in the politically turbulent Adriatic.
The following November, she again steamed east to the Mediterranean, returning to the east coast for overhaul at Boston on 11 March 1948.
On completion of overhaul, she resumed type exercises off the eastern seaboard and conducted Naval Reserve training cruises to the Caribbean.
Decommissioned on 15 June 1949, she joined the Atlantic Reserve Fleet and into 1970 remained a unit of that fleet, berthed at Philadelphia.
Two of her main engines remain in service today as part of the MARF (Modifications and Additions to a Reactor Facility) facility for the S7G nuclear reactor prototype in Ballston Spa, New York.
This was a traditional paper size used in Europe and the British Commonwealth, before the adoption of the international standard A4 paper.
Foolscap was named after the fool's cap and bells watermark commonly used from the fifteenth century onwards on paper of these dimensions.
Unsubstantiated anecdotes suggest that this watermark was introduced to England in 1580 by John Spilman, a German who established a papermill at Dartford, Kent.
Apocryphally, the Rump Parliament substituted a fool's cap for the royal arms as a watermark on the paper used for the journals of Parliament.
Sir Charles John Curran (13 October 1921 – 9 January 1980) was an Irish-born British television executive and Director-General of the BBC from 1969 to 1977.
Following the appointment of the former Conservative minister Lord Hill as Chairman of the BBC Governors in 1967 (ironically, the Labour Prime Minister who appointed Hill, Harold Wilson, had attacked Hill's appointment as chairman of the Independent Television Authority under a Conservative government in 1963), Curran's arrival marked a return to a more cautious approach after the radicalism of Sir Hugh Carleton Greene.
Philip Hinchcliffe, then series producer, was replaced after only three more serials and his successor, Graham Williams, was ordered to lighten the tone and reduce the violence and horror content.
The intensity of its service was reflected in the 1,650 locomotives it owned – it was by far the most densely trafficked system in the British Isles with more locomotives per mile than any other company – and that one third of its 738 signal boxes controlled junctions averaging one every .
It was the first mainline railway to introduce electrification of some of its lines, and it also ran steamboat services across the Irish Sea and North Sea, being a bigger shipowner than any other British railway company.
The L&YR was incorporated in 1847, being an amalgamation of several important lines, the chief of which was the Manchester and Leeds Railway (itself having been incorporated in 1836).
The system consisted of many branches and alternative routes, so that it is not easy to determine the location of its main line.
Whereas there were various lines between the Central and Western Divisions there was only one route between the Eastern and Central Divisions.
This line cut through the Pennines between Lancashire and Yorkshire using a number of long tunnels, the longest of which was Summit Tunnel ( in length) near Rochdale.
Victoria railway station was one of the largest railway stations in the country at the time, and was the first of four stations to be named Victoria, pre-dating those in London, Sheffield and Nottingham.
Lately the station capacity has been reduced to two platforms for Metrolink trams, two bay platforms, and four through platforms under the Manchester Evening News Arena, which now replaces a significant area once occupied by the station.
The main facade and station building of the original Hunts Bank station still exist and are kept in relatively good condition.
In Liverpool, the Fourth Rail system was used at 600 V DC, although this was later converted to a Third rail system.
In 1912 Dick, Kerr & Co.'s Preston factory was considering tendering for a Brazilian contract, and approached the L&YR to use the Bury to Holcombe Brook Line for test purposes at Dick, Kerr's expense.
The line from Bury Bolton Street Station to Holcombe Brook was electrified with the overhead 3.5 kV DC system, rolling stock was also supplied at their cost.
In 1913 a decision was taken to electrify the Manchester to Bury route at 1.2 kV DC in an attempt to overcome competition from trams.
Using the Third Rail system, trains powered by electric motor cars (or carriages) began running on 17 April 1916 but as Horwich was by then involved in war work, deliveries of the new electric stock were delayed and it was not until August 1916 that steam trains were withdrawn from the route.
During 1917 work began to convert the Bury to Holcombe Brook line to a Third Rail system, matching the Manchester to Bury system.
The Helmshore rail accident on 4 September 1860 saw 11 people killed and 77 injured when the rear portion of a Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway passenger excursion train became detached and ran back down the line where it collided with an on-coming passenger excursion train.
The Burscough Junction Station rail crash occurred on 15 January 1880 at the station on the Liverpool to section of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway line, resulting in nine fatalities.
An excursion train was in collision with a West Lancashire Railway passenger train at , Lancashire on 3 August 1896 due to the driver of the excursion train misreading signals.
A passenger train was derailed on 15 July 1903 at Waterloo station, then in Lancashire (now Merseyside) caused by a broken spring and spring bridle on the locomotive, while negotiating a 23-chain curve at speed.
An express passenger train collided with a light engine at , Yorkshire on 22 October 1903 due to a signalman's error.
A collision between a London and North Western Railway (LNWR) empty stock train and a passenger train at , Yorkshire on 21 April 1905 killed two people.
The Hall Road rail accident at Blundellsands in what is now Merseyside on 27 July 1905 saw 20 killed and 48 injured when two Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway electric passenger trains collided due to human error on the part of a signalman and a train driver.
Two locomotives were shunted into a siding at Hindley & Blackrod Junction, Lancashire on 22 January 1909, but one of them remained foul of the main line.
On 18 March 1915, an express passenger train overran signals and was in a rear-end collision with an empty stock train at , Lancashire.
The rear portion was too heavy for the banking locomotive to hold, and it was pushed back downhill and derailed by catch points, as were the wagons.
Before this could occur, the Railways Act 1921 became law on 19 August 1921, under which the LYR and LNWR would be forced to amalgamate on 1 January 1923 with each other and with other railways, such as the Midland Railway and the Caledonian Railway.
The Act included provisions for two or more railways to amalgamate voluntarily before 1923; and the LYR and LNWR took the opportunity to implement their March 1921 agreement, and on 1 January 1922 both railways were dissolved and a new company was formed, which was also named the London and North Western Railway; its board of twenty directors included six from the former LYR.
The 1923 Grouping duly occurred one years later, which involved the expanded LNWR forming part of the new London Midland and Scottish Railway.
The Caldervale Line, as named by West Yorkshire Metro is also operated by Northern and uses a large part of the former L&YR.
Multiple coaches are preserved by Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Trust, at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, 6-wheel 5-comp third No.
Mostly covered goods vans survive in the form of LYR goods stock, some of these vans also passed into Cadbury ownership for use at Bourneville.
A brake van also survives at the Kent & East Sussex Railway and the body of a CCT van at the Cambrian Heritage Railways in Owestry.
By 1913 they owned 26 vessels, with another two under construction, plus a further five under joint ownership with the London and North Western Railway.
The L&YR ran steamers between Liverpool and Drogheda, Hull and Zeebrugge, and between Goole and many continental ports including Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Hamburg, and Rotterdam.
Lawrence was born as Sidney Liebowitz in the Brooklyn borough of New York City to Jewish parents, Max, a cantor in The Bronx, and Helen.
Frank Sinatra was known to have repeatedly stated that the best male vocalist he had ever heard was Steve Lawrence, although he also repeatedly said the same of Tony Bennett.
Michael was an assistant editor for a television show at the time of his death and was apparently healthy despite a previous diagnosis of slight arrhythmia.
Gormé and Lawrence were in Atlanta, Georgia, at the time of Michael's death, having performed at the Fox Theater the night before.
Upon learning of the death, family friend Frank Sinatra sent his private plane to fly the couple to New York to meet David, who was attending school at the time.
It was reported that younger executives (including the company's president, Charles E. Swanson) wanted to introduce livelier materials, while Haley favoured the traditional approach and an expansion in size.
Departing Boston in November 1945, she visited Piraeus, Greece, on 6 December, making the first cruise intended to expand American prestige through naval visits lasting till 1947.
Following departure from the Delaware Capes in October and training out of Guantanamo Bay and Norfolk, Va., she left Hampton Roads for the Mediterranean 3 February 1947.
After exercises and port visits in the Mediterranean, she departed Athens, Greece, in May, and arrived at Boston later that month.
Departing Newport, R.I., in November, she operated in the Mediterranean from 20 November 1947 to 2 March 1948, visiting Naples in December, Taranto in January, and Trieste and Venice in February, returning to Newport in March.
Sailing from Newport in September 1948, she served the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean from 23 September 1948 to 14 January 1949, visiting Thessalonika in October, Marseilles in November, Trieste and Venice in December, and Oran in January, returning to Newport later in January.
Provided with RIM-2 Terrier missiles, command ship facilities, and a nuclear weapons capability, she recommissioned 17 September 1959, Captain Kenneth L. Veth in command.
Following exercises off the West Coast, she arrived at Yokosuka, Japan, in May 1962, and relieved as flagship of the 7th Fleet.
Spending the remainder of 1965 off the West Coast with the 1st Fleet, she participated in exercises and visited various West Coast ports.
For exceptionally meritorious service from 20 April 1972 to 1 December 1972 while participating in combat operations off the coast of North and South Vietnam.
She was stricken on 30 September 1978 and sold to National Steel Corp.,Terminal Island, CA Sale # 160018 on 15 July 1980, removed from custody 31 July 1980 and scrapped.
Lieutenant General Sir Edward Ian Claud Jacob (27 September 1899 – 24 April 1993), known as Ian Jacob, was a British Army officer, who served as the Military Assistant Secretary to Winston Churchill's war cabinet and was later a distinguished broadcasting executive, serving as the Director-General of the BBC from 1952 to 1959.
His father was Field Marshal Sir Claud Jacob, in whose footsteps Ian followed by becoming a professional soldier with the Royal Engineers in 1918, after being educated at both Wellington College, Berkshire and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich.
Jacob trained as an officer at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich and later at the Staff College, Camberley from 1931 to 1932, (where he passed the entrance examination with record marks), his fellow students there including Brian Horrocks, Sidney Kirkman, Frank Simpson, Cameron Nicholson, Arthur Dowler, Nevil Brownjohn, and Thomas Rees.
Jacob served as the Military Assistant Secretary to the War Cabinet for the duration of the Second World War (he actually asked to be returned to his regiment in 1940, but was refused).
Churchill valued Jacob's efforts enough to endorse his promotion from the rank of colonel to lieutenant general over the course of the war.
As a brigadier (war-substantive lieutenant-colonel), Jacob was promoted to the substantive rank of colonel in the Regular Army on 30 June 1943.
He was granted the acting rank of major-general on 8 September 1944 and advanced to temporary major-general on 8 September 1945.
In the 1944 Birthday Honours, he was appointed a Companion in the Military Division of the Order of the Bath (CB).
As Jacob had never been in command of troops, he had few prospects for serious work in the forces after the war and sought to make use of his experience in communications.
By the end of the war, the BBC's European Service (later the BBC World Service), based at Bush House, had become the world's most respected and sophisticated foreign language broadcasting operation and had been admired for its contribution to the war effort.
The departing head of the service, Sir Ivone Kirkpatrick (who would become the Chairman of the Independent Television Authority a decade later), recommended Jacob as a potential successor.
Sir William Haley, the BBC's Director-General, had already met Jacob during preparations to report the news of the D-Day landings and was aware that his political contacts (Churchill in particular) could be valuable.
Jacob's successful management of Bush House led to his being appointed Director of the reconstructed Overseas service in which post he continued until 1951.
In February 1950, he helped to establish the European Broadcasting Union (responsible for the Eurovision Song Contest and similar events) and served as its first President until 1960.
Churchill was re-elected in 1951 and in addition to being Prime Minister, he also took the office of Secretary of State for Defence.
He immediately asked for William Haley to second Jacob from the BBC to reprise his advisory role, this time under the title of Chief Staff Officer.
After a single visit to the United States of America and Canada, Churchill had realised that the Defence portfolio was relatively dull during peacetime; he left the post and appointed Field Marshal the Earl Alexander as his replacement.
Jacob was less comfortable working for Alexander than for Churchill, but a new opportunity arose for him in June 1952, when Haley announced he was to leave the BBC to become editor of The Times.
Jacob was well respected by the senior staff of the BBC, much more so than the other candidate George Barnes, then the controller of BBC television.
(Barnes had been appointed Controller of Television in 1950, despite having no enthusiasm for visual broadcasting, and was not popular within the BBC.
Indeed, the BBC's regional controllers informed the Chairman, Lord Simon of Wythenshawe, that they would resign simultaneously if Barnes was chosen over Jacob as Haley's replacement).
However, Jacob was still officially seconded to the Ministry of Defence, and so a member of the Board of Management, Sir Basil Nicholls, was made acting Director-General until Jacob could be released back to the BBC.
Jacob's tenure coincided with the rise of television, which was beginning to displace radio as the main broadcast medium (sales of Sound-and-Television licences overtook those of Sound-only licences in 1957).
Indeed, he initially found it hard to persuade senior staff that money was available and that there was ample opportunity to spend it in developing television to the full.
Jacob was an enthusiast of news and current affairs programming and was keen to continue the BBC's tradition of accuracy and impartiality in its journalism.
However, this goal led him to misinterpret the intentions of the controversial Editor of News, Tahu Hole, who was inclined to abuse the impartiality principle to avoid management responsibilities.
In fact, it was only in 1958, by which time BBC News was being put to shame by its competitor Independent Television News, that Jacob finally noticed Hole's shortcomings and moved him into an administrative post.
Jacob did, however, campaign for the abolition of the restrictive Fourteen-Day Rule that prevented broadcast analysis of topics that were to be debated in parliament within the next fourteen days (the Rule was finally suspended in December 1956).
Also during Jacob's time as Director-General was the first showing of Panorama which is the world's longest-running current affairs series as of 2017.
His former mentor Winston Churchill in particular had never liked the BBC's journalistic impartiality, thinking that broadcast media should be a tool of government rather than a forum of political analysis and criticism.
Eden responded by cutting the budget of the Overseas Service (which was, unlike today's World Service, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office rather than the Licence fee which funded the rest of the BBC).
It was also mostly on the strength of Jacob's work that the 1960 Pilkington Committee on Broadcasting recommended that the third television channel should be offered to the BBC, eventually materialising as BBC2 in 1964.
The following day, he was appointed a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire in the New Year's Honours.
He was also a trustee of the Imperial War Museum between 1966 and 1973 and was a County Councillor in Suffolk for two separate periods (1960–1970 and 1974–1977).
The North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) was a British railway company formed in 1845 to promote a number of lines in the Staffordshire Potteries and surrounding areas in Staffordshire, Cheshire, Derbyshire and Shropshire.
The company was based in Stoke-on-Trent and was nicknamed The Knotty; its lines were built to the standard gauge of .
The main routes were constructed between 1846 and 1852 and ran from Macclesfield to Norton Bridge, just north of Stafford, and from Crewe to Egginton Junction, west of Derby.
Within these main connections with other railway companies, most notably the London and North Western Railway (LNWR), the company operated a network of smaller lines although the total route mileage of the company never exceeded .
The majority of the passenger traffic was local although a number of LNWR services from Manchester to London were operated via Stoke.
Freight traffic was mostly coal and other minerals but the line also carried the vast majority of china and other pottery goods manufactured in England.
As the NSR was surrounded by other larger railway companies, there were in the 19th century several attempts emanating from other companies or proposals from NSR shareholders to amalgamate with one or more of the other companies that adjoined it.
None of these came to fruition and the NSR remained an independent company up to 1923 when it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway Company.
The area of north Staffordshire known today as the City of Stoke-on-Trent was already a thriving industrial area before the arrival of the railways.
The establishment of the pottery industry and the development of coal and ironstone mines in the 18th century had provided a need for materials, most noticeably clay, to be brought into the area.
This need had given rise in the mid to late 18th century of the construction of the Trent & Mersey Canal (T&M) and its various branches.
By 1845 this had fallen to a still impressive 30% despite the onset of railway development in the North West of England.
It was the Trent & Mersey Canal company that built the first railway in north Staffordshire when in 1776 it was granted powers to build a railway, or plateway, from Caldon Low limestone quarries to the canal basin at Froghall in the Churnet Valley.
The Railway Mania of 1845 found the Potteries still without a railway, although the surrounding towns of Stafford, Crewe, Derby and Macclesfield were all connected to the fledgling railway system.
As a way of eliminating opposition to the Company's Bills in Parliament, and to allow it to promote a line to Liverpool, the company made an agreement to take over the Trent & Mersey Canal Company.
This was a line that was being supported by the Grand Junction Railway (GJR) running between Derby and Crewe via Uttoxeter and Stoke.
Despite having arranged to purchase the T&M canal for a considerable sum, to obtain support for the Liverpool extension the NSR agreed to the GJR demand.
On 26 June 1846, the three NSR acts were passed with the total of £2,900,000 in share capital being shared amongst the three lines, with seven years allowed for the completion of each line.
A mile long procession headed by John Lewis Ricardo, Member of Parliament for Stoke-on-Trent and chairman of the NSR Company, formed.
By February 1847 there were 1,318 men and 60 horses working between Macclesfield and Colwich and they had removed of earth, driven of tunnel heading and erected yards of fencing.
It also consolidated the previous acts and importantly, forced the NSR to ensure that all lines were completed by specifying that ordinary dividends were not to exceed 5% until the Churnet Valley and Willington lines had been opened.
Passenger services started on 17 April 1848 and the first passenger train left the temporary station at Wheildon Road, Stoke, hauled by locomotive No.
The opening of the line gave the Potteries a railway link with Birmingham and London which made it an instant success with the public.
The remaining lines under the original Acts were opened in stages but all were completed and open by the end of 1852 when the Stoke to Newcastle and Newcastle to Knutton sections opened.
A few months after the opening of the first line, the imposing permanent station in Winton Square, Stoke was opened on 9 October 1848.
Later branches constructed in the nineteenth century included lines from Stoke-on-Trent to Congleton via Smallthorne and Biddulph; Stoke-on-Trent to Leek; Newcastle to Silverdale, Keele and Market Drayton (junction with the Great Western Railway); Alsager to Audley, Leycett and Keele, and Rocester to Ashbourne.
Also opened in the nineteenth century was the only NSR line to achieve any degree of fame, the Potteries Loop Line from Etruria via Hanley, Cobridge, Burslem, Tunstall, Pitts Hill, Newchapel and Goldenhill to Kidsgrove Liverpool Rd.
Twentieth century construction included a branch from Leek to Cauldon Lowe via Waterhouses from where the narrow gauge Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway (L&MV) was constructed through the Hamps and Manifold river valleys to Hulme End near Hartington.
It was authorised as part of an alternative line to Newcastle-under-Lyme but construction work beyond Trentham was quickly abandoned owing to rising costs.
The Cheadle Railway was a small local company constructed with NSR's backing, built at great cost over a period of twelve years.
A short line of just under it was opened with the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&L) in 1869 to give the NSR to Manchester independently of the LNWR.
As relationships between the NSR and the LNWR grew better the reason for the line lessened as the MB&M route to Manchester was 5 miles longer than the LNWR route.> Both passenger and freight traffic was handled by the MS&L (or as it later became the Great Central Railway) with the buildings maintained by the NSR.
As a company with only a small route mileage the NSR made extensive use of running powers and in exchange granted running powers to other companies.
In 1849 an agreement was reached where LNWR traffic could work over the NSR system but in exchange a certain amount of the LNWR London trains had to be routed via Stoke.
These Manchester to London Euston restaurant car expresses were unique in often being hauled by NSR tank engines from Manchester to Stoke-on-Trent where the LNWR express engines took over for the run via Stone, Sandon, Colwich, and the main line to London Euston.
The NSR received a payment for every through passenger on these trains and employed a small army of ticket inspectors to examine and clip (with its distinctive 'P' clip) every ticket during the Stoke-on-Trent station stop.
As well as the running power agreements with the LNWR there was a very short joint line of at Middlewood and three jointly owned stations; Ashbourne, Colwich and Macclesfield Goods.
Equally important in terms of traffic but not as extensive in terms of route were the running power agreements with the Midland Railway (MR).
The GNR built its GNR Derbyshire and Staffordshire Extension from Nottingham and Derby Friargate via Mickleover to Egginton Junction with running powers over the NSR from Etwall, through Uttoxeter, to Bromshall Junction.
Although the NSR had joint ownership of the MB&M with the MS&L the NSR did not have running powers over the rest of the MS&L and was content to let the MS&L handle all traffic north of Middlewood.
Finally with both the NSR and the Great Western Railway (GWR) expanding into Shropshire running rights were agreed for NSR trains to run to Hodnet and Wellington and in return GWR goods trains could run to Stoke.
There were several proposals made either to the NSR or by it, to merge or lease or sell the company to other railway companies.
A further attempt in 1851 got as far as a parliamentary bill being submitted for amalgamation until the select committee appointed to look at the bill reported against the idea.
Less than twenty years later, in 1870, these four companies all combined to look at taking over the NSR following a decision by the NSR board to sell or lease the company.
The four rival companies were unable to agree on who would take what share of the NSR and the proposal floundered.
In 1875, the MS&L proposed an amalgamation which initially found favour with the NSR board and shareholders but eventually fell through when the MS&L finances were investigated and it was found that the MS&L was no stronger financially than the NSR.
In 1877 the NSR dividend was only 2% compared with the dividend of 6% paid by the LNWR to its shareholders.
In 1891 the NSR paid a 5% dividend for the first time, a level not to be reached again until 1913.
Passenger numbers stood at 7,200,000 and goods traffic handled by the NSR consisted of of goods, nearly of coal and coke and over of other minerals.
Under the Railways Act 1921, the NSR was one of the eight major companies designated to form the North Western, Midland and West Scottish Group.
The act came into force on 1 January 1923 but along with the Caledonian Railway, the NSR amalgamation into the LMS was delayed until 1 July 1923 due to certain legal requirements not being completed by the due date.
In common with most other British railway companies, the NSR decided early on that it was advantageous to carry out its own maintenance work in all departments and also to undertake much of its own new construction work.
The T&M owned Rudyard Lake which the NSR made use of as a leisure complex, building a golf course, in 1905, on land adjoining the lake.
Associated with the quarry was the tramway that ran from the quarries to Froghall making the NSR the operator of lines of three different gauges.
The first locomotives were either purchased from contractors building the line or firms such as Sharp Brothers and Company, B. Hick and Son, Kitson, Thompson and Hewitson, the Vulcan Foundry or Jones and Potts.
Originally the resident engineers were responsible for the locomotive stock and the first four holders of this post were all primarily civil engineers.
In 1863 the new general manager, Morris, commissioned an outside report on the NSR locomotive fleet which recommended the rebuilding of 50 engines.
The only significant event of Johnson's tenure was the building of the first engines at Stoke works when three 0-6-0T engines were built in 1868.
There followed a long period of locomotive construction internally with all locomotives between 1875 and 1900 coming from the company works.
An urgent need for heavier goods engines prompted the company to go to contractors and a small number of 0-6-0 designs were purchased from Nasmyth, Wilson and Company.
In 1903 five 0-6-2T engines were purchased from Vulcan Foundry and with the exception of two locomotives for shunting purchased from Kerr Stuart in 1919 these were the last engines not to be built by the company at Stoke.
In addition to the NSR locomotives were the two engines of the Leek & Manifold and the three engines that worked the Caldon Low quarries.
At grouping 196 steam locomotives including the L&MV and Caldon Low engines were absorbed into the LMS along with the three railmotors and one battery electric locomotive.
Although many of the locomotives were not old, due to the LMS policy of standardisation all NSR engines had been withdrawn from service by 1939.
Both formed part of the national collection at the National Railway Museum but in 2016 ownership of the New L class locomotive was transferred to the Foxfield Railway where the locomotive is now on display.
NSR engines were also sub-shedded at other companies depots, with arrangements existing at the LNWR sheds at Stafford, Liverpool Edge Hill and Manchester Longsight and the GNR shed at Nottingham Colwick.
Up to 1882 locomotives were a bright green with black and white lining with a Staffordshire knot emblem on the tank or tender sides.
Longbottom was succeeded by Adams who changed the livery once more to a crimson shade called Madder Lakewith yellow and vermilion lining.
Four-wheeled carriages were the norm from the start and the last were constructed in the 1880s, although by then they had progressed from the unbraked coaches of the 1840s with the introduction of the communication cord in 1869 and the simple vacuum brake in 1883.
The first bogie coaches were introduced in 1906 for use on the Derby–Llandudno service and these were followed by further examples until 1923.
By 1919 all carriages, except 13 four-wheelers used on miners trains, had been fitted with steam heating and a number of vehicles had been fitted with through pipes to allow use in trains equipped with Westinghouse brakes.
Most carriages were constructed at Stoke but some were purchased from companies such as the Metropolitan Carriage, Wagon and Finance Company.
One area where the NSR was a pioneer was in the use of electrical lighting being the largest of only three British railway companies to switch from oil to electric lighting and not use any form of gas lighting.
Coaching stock was originally claret but in 1875 was changed to Victoria Brown and white (except for branch line trains which carried an all over Victoria Brown livery) with gold and blue lining.
This colour scheme lasted until 1896 when it was changed to an overall Victoria Lake (brown) colour with gold and blue lining.
The NSR handed over to the LMS 6,612 goods wagons of which over 5,000 were open wagons for the transport of coal and other minerals.
This number was dwarfed by the number of wagons owned by the pits, ironworks, other industrial operations and traders in the Stoke area.
An unusual set of wagons to be seen were the bright yellow with red lettering vans owned by the Barnum and Bailey circus who had their main English depot in Stoke.
In the early 1840s, the owners of iron ore mines in the Furness district of Lancashire became interested in a waggonway from their mines to Barrow; the project was adopted and expanded by the Duke of Buccleuch and the Earl of Burlington.
Advertisements in 1843 announced a scheme, supported by their Lordships, for a Furness Railway to link Ulverston 'the capital of the district', iron ore mines (at Dalton-in-Furness) and slate mines (at Kirkby-in-Furness) with the coast at Barrow harbour and at Piel pier .
Traffic on the line would be horse-drawn, but the line was to be laid out to allow easy conversion to the use of steam power.
The subscription to the company was largely taken up by the Duke and the Earl, and their associates; although there were some local subscribers - Henry Schneider was on the company's provisional committee - failure to attract local capital meant that the original intention to serve Ulverston was dropped.
The line was passed for passenger use early in August 1846; by the end of the month passenger trains were running from Dalton to Piel pier, connecting with a steamer to Fleetwood.
Passenger services ceased after about two months, and the line between Dalton and Rampside Junction was doubled to remove the difficulties experienced in working both mineral and passenger traffic on a single track line.
Periodic disagreements and reconciliations saw the steamer service terminal switch between Piel and Barrow on a number of occasions until (1853) the Furness Railway bought the pier.
Copper mining interests at Coniston promoted the Coniston Railway, running from the Furness Railway at Broughton to Coniston and on to the copper mines.
The line was nominally independent of the FR, but the Duke of Devonshire (as the Earl of Burlington had become in 1858) was its chairman; the FR took shares in it, and worked it.
It opened for passenger traffic 19 July 1859, although its opening for goods and mineral traffic was deferred for some months as the provision was still incomplete.
A branch was built from (just west of) the Leven viaduct to Greenodd (allowing suppression of a swing bridge in the viaduct) then through Newby Bridge to a terminus beside Windermere at Finsthwaite; the locality had been known as The Landing, but the station was named Lake-side.
The Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway was completed in November 1851, connecting the Furness Railway to Whitehaven and (on completion of the Bransty tunnel at Whitehaven in 1852) to the West Coast Main Line at Carlisle.
In 1865, before the lease and amalgamation, the W&FJR and the FR had put forward rival Bills for crossing the Duddon estuary much lower down it than the existing crossing at Foxfield, thus usefully shortening the rail distance between Whitehaven (and points north) and Barrow (and Carnforth).
After the discovery of a large hematite deposit in the Holborn Hill area, the line between Millom and Barrow was doubled throughout; the line between Seascale and Bootle was also doubled.
From its opening, the U&LR was worked by the Furness Railway, which purchased it (with effect from July 1861) in 1862, taking over the Ulverston Canal Company in the same year.
In 1863, in conjunction with the Midland Railway, the FR promoted a Bill for the Furness and Midland Joint Railway between Wennington and Carnforth; the intention was said to be to give a more direct connection between the iron ore of Furness and Yorkshire ironworks and coal-mines.
The London and North Western Railway cast doubt on this, pointing out that Furness got its metallurgical coke from South Durham over the Stainmore line and exported most of its ore to districts better served by the LNWR, but withdrew its objection on being offered the same powers as the Midland over the FR.
In 1867 the FR secured an Act for the construction of the Hincaster Branch from to the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway at Hincaster.
In 1870, the FR brought forward, and then abandoned, a Bill authorising abandonment of the project; construction was pursued with no great urgency, the line not opening until June 1876.
The FR objected when in 1877 the Whitehaven, Cleator and Egremont Railway agreed terms for its amalgamation with the LNWR; instead as of July 1879 the WC&ER became a joint line of the Furness and the LNWR.
The Furness Railway's prosperity came originally from the export of haematite ore, but the growth of heavy industry at Barrow became a significant contributor.
A very small village at Barrow grew into one of about 2,000 serving the ore-export facility there, with the Furness Railway effectively responsible for the settlement.
The FR took over Barrow Harbour from its Commissioners in 1863 to allow the construction of wet docks at Barrow; in 1864 it obtained powers to supply Barrow and the surrounding district with gas and water.
Witnesses for the Furness and Midland Joint bill reported that in 1862 over 535,000 tons of iron ore had been raised in Furness (in 1873 the market price of haematite ore was 24-30 shillings per ton) and over 90,000 tons of pig iron produced in local blast furnaces.
The Dukes of Devonshire and Buccleuch were both major shareholders in the steel company as was the managing director of the Furness Railway, who was also the managing director of the Hematite Steel company and (following the incorporation in 1867 of Barrow) its first mayor.
The docks at Barrow opened in September 1867; there were two wet docks; the Devonshire (30 acres) and the Buccleuch (33 acres).
The Midland Railway's Morecambe-Belfast steamer service was replaced by a Barrow-Belfast service jointly owned by the Midland and the FR; a service to Douglas was also run in the summer months, but both services ran from Piel pier transferring to Barrow docks in 1881.
In 1872, the FR obtained powers to build a third dock (the Ramsden); the spoil from the excavation of this was used to enclose an area of water intended for the construction of a fourth (the Cavendish).
The original main line did not run through Barrow, though its headquarters and engineering works were adjacent to St. George's Square.
In 1882, a new station Barrow Central was opened on a new loop line, which the Whitehaven- Carnforth passenger traffic now ran over.
Heavy expenditure on the docks at Barrow coincided with a down-turn in the iron trade in the mid-1870s; capital expenditure on other projects was minimised, and the dividend was cut from 10% to 6.5%.
This triggered complaints from shareholders that the directors were pursuing the development of Barrow at the expense of the profitability of the FR, and from passengers at the service provided - with the possible exception of fast trains serving Barrow (which did not stop at most stations) FR passenger trains were infrequent, inconvenient, unpunctual, uncomfortable, and slow.
A glance at the timetables shows that it is almost impossible to reach some of the most beautiful places on Morecambe Bay in anything like reasonable time, and the accommodation at Carnforth, when the delay takes place, is most miserable.
On the Furness side of the line there are two seats for about 200 passengers, one waiting room, and one refreshment room, which is frequently so crammed that many people cannot get to the counter.
Added to this inconvenience, travellers who have to wait here are oppressed with a sense of the general dirtiness of the station.
These are the advertised times, but the trains are not infrequently late, consequently a good walker might almost accomplish the journey on foot in the time.
In 1881 revenue for the second half of the year was about £300,000 and the dividend 7% a year; second-half revenue declined to £216,000 in 1885 (with the dividend being cut to 2%), but recovered to £275,000 in 1889 allowing a dividend of 5% a year.
In 1892 there was no dividend for the first year-half (because of a prolonged strike in the Durham coalfield) this triggered a renewal of previous complaints from shareholders that the company had sunk between two and three million pounds into docks at Barrow, but refused to give any indication of the profitability (or otherwise) of the docks.
The additional complaint was now made that most of the directors were ornamental and deferred to Sir James Ramsden who had held managerial posts with the company since 1846, and had been the managing director since 1866.
For the second half of 1892, despite the disruption to traffic and loss of an engine caused by subsidence at Lindal, a dividend at the rate of 3% a year was declared; amendments seeking to force the resignation of Sir James were moved, but defeated.
a ton, we are now carrying that ore - in less quantities, I am sorry to say - to the furnaces at short distances, and we get an average of only 1s.
The new regime benefited from a recovery in the Furness iron and steel trade, and from a wholesale replacement of passenger rolling stock occasioned by the need to provide a continuous automatic brake, but also made strenuous efforts to develop passenger traffic, with day and weekend excursion tickets being introduced and advertised.
Second class was abolished (1897) and new corridor bogie carriages introduced on Barrow-Yorkshire services were as good as anything to be found on major railways.
To promote tourist traffic, the FR published guides to tours in the Lake District not only in English, but also in French and German.
The dividend, however, fell back to 0.5% in 1904 because of a renewed depression in iron and steel; Mr Aslett having previously reported that pig iron could only be produced in Furness at a loss of 3s 6d per ton: England was the 'dumping ground' for German iron being sold at below its production cost.
Vickers had taken over the Barrow Shipbuilding Company in 1897, and its construction of naval warships at Barrow (both as part of the Anglo-German naval arms race and for foreign navies) became an important prop of the prosperity of Barrow.
Even with this prop, and the development of tourist traffic, the FR dividend for the last twenty-five years of its existence (up to grouping in 1923) averaged only marginally above 2% a year.
The FR had been closely associated with the Midland Railway for many years; it was strategically important to the Midland as giving it access to an Irish Sea port and hence to Irish traffic.
The Midland had repeatedly attempted to purchase the company, but these offers had come during periods of prosperity for the Furness, whose directors had rebuffed the Midland's terms as insufficiently generous.
The Midland's announcement of a planned extension of its Morecambe line to a new deep-water port at Heysham gave rise to concern about the future of steamer services from Barrow and the reliability of the Midland as a partner.
Negotiations with the Midland led to a further offer to purchase the FR (with a guaranteed 3% dividend to FR shareholders) which was again rejected, and ended in an agreement that the joint Furness/Midland steamers from Barrow would continue to run, and the same company which managed (and owned a third of the shares in) the Barrow steamers for the railways would also manage the services from Heysham.
When services began running from Heysham in 1905, the Barrow services became unprofitable: it became evident that the Midland was preferentially routing traffic via Heysham and the Furness went to law, the matter being resolved by the Midland buying out the FR's interest for £45,000, entering a traffic-sharing agreement for Belfast traffic and undertaking to continue the services from Barrow for seven years.
The first locomotive superintendent, recruited from Bury, Curtis and Kennedy in 1846, was later to be knighted as Sir James Ramsden, a leading civic figure and first Mayor of Barrow.
The Furness Railway operated as an independent company until December 1922, when it was merged as one of the constituent companies of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway following the Railways Act 1921.
Mark Julian Byford (born 13 June 1958) was Deputy Director General of the British Broadcasting Corporation and head of BBC Journalism from 2004–2011.
He chaired the BBC Journalism Board and had overall responsibility for the world's largest news organisation and all its radio, television and interactive journalism content across the UK and around the world.
His responsibilities also included BBC Sport, the Nations and Regions (BBC Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and English regions) and Editorial Policy.
He led the BBC wide coverage of the General Elections in 2005 and 2010; the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008; and the BBC coverage of the Queen Mother's Funeral in 2002 and the Royal Wedding in 2011.
Byford established and chaired the BBC's Editorial Standards Board, which is responsible for promoting the BBC's standards in ethics and programme-making across the Corporation.
He was in overall charge of the BBC's planning for the London 2012 Olympic Games as Chair of the London 2012 Steering Group.
His first book, 'A Name on a Wall', about an American soldier killed in the Vietnam War, was published by Mainstream in November 2013.
His second book, 'The Annunciation: A Pilgrim's Quest', a personal search to understand the meaning of Luke's Gospel story, was published in April 2018.
He is also a Governor at the University of Winchester; a Trustee of the Winchester Hospice Fundraising charity; and a Trustee of Play to the Crowd, the charity that runs Winchester Theatre Royal and the Hat Fair.
He was made a Vice President of the RNLI in 2019 in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the charity whilst a Trustee from 2012-2019, where he was Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee and, previously, Chair of the Fundraising and Communications Committee.
He spent his early years living around the West Riding of Yorkshire, where his father, Sir Lawrence Byford, served as a policeman.
He returned to West Yorkshire in 1976, studying Law at the University of Leeds, where he was president of Devonshire Hall.
In 1981, aged just 22, he produced the Royal Television Society's Regional News programme of the Year – a Look North special on unemployment in the north of England.
In 1987 he became Head of News at BBC Bristol before becoming Home Editor BBC News and Current Affairs, responsible for all television network newsgathering coverage across the UK.
There he led the BBC's coverage of the Clapham rail crash, the Kegworth M1 air crash, the Lockerbie bombing, the Hillsborough football tragedy, and the Marchioness riverboat disaster.
He joined the BBC's Board of Management in 1996 as Director, Regional Broadcasting responsible for all the BBC's activities across the UK, outside London.
In 1997–98, he drew up the BBC's response to devolution and helped to devise and implement the policy to increase the level of network programming production outside London.
In 1998 he became Director of the BBC World Service and then Head of the BBC's multi-media Global News Division in 2002.
In January 2004 he became Deputy Director General of the BBC but within three weeks of his appointment, Greg Dyke resigned as Director General, following the publication of the Hutton Report.
When Mark Thompson was appointed Director General in June 2004, Byford's role was enlarged to take responsibility for all the BBC's journalism at UK, international and local levels – the first time such a post leading the BBC's Journalism at all levels across radio, television and online, had been established.
In November 2008, he led the investigation into the Brand/Ross affair and produced the special report that was published subsequently by the BBC Trust.
He was a first board member of the joint industry radio research body, RAJAR, in the early 1990s and was also a board member of BARB, the television audience research body.
In 1999, he established the BBC World Service Trust, the BBC's international development charity, which used media and communications to reduce poverty and promote education and human rights around the world.
In July 2010, it was revealed that Byford had flown on business to the World Cup in South Africa business class at a cost of £4,878.
On 12 October 2010 it was announced Byford was leaving the Corporation after thirty two years and the Deputy Director General post closed as part of the BBC's cutbacks in senior management costs.
Byford left the Executive Board of the BBC at the end of March 2011, and his BBC employment ended in the early summer after he led the Royal Wedding coverage, reportedly with a redundancy/notice package of between £800,000 and £900,000.
There he was, grey man with a job for life, half a million pounds in salary and, because he had been at the BBC so long without ever leaving, an uncapped two-thirds final salary pension entitlement and no obvious market rate comparator to justify such riches.
However, the remainder of that article, written by media commentator, Steve Hewlett, suggested that his presence might be missed greatly at the Corporation.
It went on to highlight how he was a stabilising influence on Director General, Mark Thompson.That opinion appeared highly prophetic in the light of the two major Newsnight scandals – concerning Sir Jimmy Savile and Lord McAlpine respectively – which engulfed the BBC within 18 months of Byford's departure.
Both of those incidents led to widespread adverse criticism of high level management of journalism within the BBC and were surrounded by suggestions that the Director General of the day was not sufficiently informed about issues highly significant for the reputation of the Corporation.
It tells the contrasting stories of an American soldier, Larry Byford, killed in the Vietnam War in 1967 and his own father, Lawry Byford, who served alongside the Americans in the Second World War.
Inspired by a chance viewing of an Annunciation painting by François Lemoyne in The National Gallery, on loan from Winchester College, he searches for the spiritual meaning of Luke's biblical story through intimate conversations with more than a hundred senior clerics, theologians and art historians, as well as viewing more than a hundred acclaimed Annunciation images, during a three-year 30,000 mile journey.
He is married to Hilary Bleiker, whom he met whilst at Leeds University where she studied English, and they have five adult children, two sons and three daughters.
In 2006 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Winchester, and in 2010 an honorary doctorate by the University of Lincoln, the city where he spent his teenage years.
He has been a Governor of the University of Winchester since 2014; a Trustee of the Winchester Hospice Fundraising Charity since 2018; and a Trustee of Play to the Crowd, the charity that runs Winchester Theatre Royal and the Hat Fair, since 2018.
He was made a Vice President of the RNLI in 2019 in recognition of his outstanding contribution as a Trustee from 2012 - 2019.
His parents were immigrants from Abruzzo, Italy, who ran a construction business, and while growing up, he worked alongside his brothers, Pasquale and Frank as a bricklayer.
He aspired to become a singer, emulating artists such as Al Jolson and Perry Como, and by the success of a family friend, Alfredo Cocozza, who had changed his name to Mario Lanza.
After serving with the United States Navy in World War II, during which he was part of, and injured in, the Iwo Jima invasion, Cini began his singing career.
Encouraged by Lanza, he adopted the stage name Al Martino, based on the name of his good friend Lorraine Cianfrani's (née Losavio) husband Alfred Martin Cianfrani, and began singing in local nightclubs.
Lanza's label, RCA Victor, had asked Lanza to record the song, but Martino called Lanza and pleaded with him to let Martino's version have a clear chance.
1 on the US pop charts in June 1952, earning Martino a gold disc, and later in the year, also reached the top of the UK charts.
However, his success also attracted the attention of the Mafia, which bought out Martino's management contract and ordered him to pay $75,000 as a safeguard for their investment.
In 1958, thanks to the intervention of a family friend, Martino was allowed to return to the U.S. and resume his recording career, but he faced difficulties in re-establishing himself, especially with the arrival of rock and roll.
In 1959, Martino signed with 20th Fox Records; his deal scored him two albums, and four singles released, none of which was a major hit.
In 1976, it reached number one on the Italian and Flemish charts, and was in the top 10 in Spain, the Netherlands, and France, as well as in many other European countries.
In 1993, Martino recorded a new studio album with German producer Dieter Bohlen (former member of pop duo Modern Talking, producer of international artists such as Chris Norman of Smokie, Bonnie Tyler, Dionne Warwick, Engelbert or Errol Brown of Hot Chocolate).
Martino had been notified of the character Johnny Fontane by a friend who read the eponymous novel and felt Martino represented the character of Johnny Fontane.
However, Martino was stripped of the part after Francis Ford Coppola became director and then awarded the role to singer Vic Damone.
According to Martino, after being stripped of the role, he went to Russell Bufalino, his godfather and a crime boss, who then orchestrated the publication of various news articles that claimed Coppola was unaware of Ruddy giving Martino the part.
Damone eventually dropped the role because he did not want to provoke the mob, in addition to being paid too little.
Martino was married first to Jenny Furini; then to Gwendolyn Wenzel; and, finally, to Judi Martino, to whom he was married at the time of his death.
Martino died from a heart attack on October 13, 2009, at his childhood home in Springfield, Pennsylvania, six days after his 82nd birthday.
George Washington, elected the first president in 1789, worked with the heads of the departments of State, Treasury, and War, along with an Attorney General (the Justice Department wasn't created until 1870), the group of which later became known as his cabinet.
Enacting the program of Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, the government assumed the Revolutionary War debts of the states and the national government, and refinanced them with new federal bonds.
It paid for the program through new tariffs and taxes; the tax on whiskey led to a revolt in the west; Washington raised an army and suppressed it.
Fleshing out the Constitution's specification of the judiciary as capped by a Supreme Court, the Judiciary Act of 1789 established the entire federal judiciary.
The Supreme Court became important under the leadership of Chief Justice John Marshall (1801–1835), a federalist and nationalist who built a strong Supreme Court and strengthened the national government.
The 1790s were highly contentious, as the First Party System emerged in the contest between Hamilton and his Federalist party, and Thomas Jefferson and his Republican party.
Washington and Hamilton were building a strong national government, with a broad financial base, and the support of merchants and financiers throughout the country.
The Louisiana Purchase from Napoleon in 1803 opened vast Western expanses of fertile land, which exactly met the needs of the rapidly expanding population of yeomen farmers whom Jefferson championed.
The Americans declared war on Britain (the War of 1812) to uphold American honor at sea, and to end the Indian raids in the west, as well as to temporarily seize Canadian territory as a negotiating chip.
Despite incompetent government management, and a series of defeats early on, Americans found new generals like Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, and Winfield Scott, who repulsed British invasions and broke the alliance between the British and the Indians that held up settlement of the Old Northwest.
The Federalists, who had opposed the war to the point of trading with the enemy and threatening secession, were devastated by the triumphant ending of the war.
The remaining Indians east of the Mississippi were kept on reservations or moved via the Trail of Tears to reservations in what later became Oklahoma.
The spread of democracy opened the ballot box to nearly all white men, allowing the Jacksonian democracy to dominate politics during the Second Party System.
Whigs, representing wealthier planters, merchants, financiers, and professionals, wanted to modernize the society, using tariffs and federally funded internal improvements; they were blocked by the Jacksonians, who closed down the national Bank in the 1830s.
Thanks to the annexation of Texas, the defeat of Mexico in war, and a compromise with Britain, the western third of the nation rounded out the continental United States by 1848.
Howe (2007) argues that the transformation America underwent was not so much political democratization but rather the explosive growth of technologies and networks of infrastructure and communication—the telegraph, railroads, the post office, and an expanding print industry.
They modernized party politics and sped up business by enabling the fast, efficient movement of goods, money, and people across an expanding nation.
Economic modernization proceeded rapidly, thanks to highly profitable cotton crops in the South, new textile and machine-making industries in the Northeast, and a fast developing transportation infrastructure.
The Second Great Awakening brought revivals across the country, forming new denominations and greatly increasing church membership, especially among Methodists and Baptists.
The Whigs had warned that annexation of Texas would lead to a crisis over slavery, and they were proven right by the turmoil of the 1850s that led to the Civil War.
George Washington, a renowned hero of the American Revolutionary War, commander of the Continental Army, and president of the Constitutional Convention, was unanimously chosen as the first President of the United States under the new U.S. Constitution.
All the leaders of the new nation were committed to republicanism, and the doubts of the Anti-Federalists of 1788 were allayed with the passage of a Bill of Rights as the first ten amendments to the Constitution in 1791.
The first census, conducted by Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, enumerated a population of 3.9 million, with a density of 4.5 people per square mile of land area.
Whereas the Constitution only defined the judiciary as vested in one Supreme Court and in various inferior courts that Congress was to define, Congress passed the Judiciary Act of 1789, which established the entire federal judiciary.
The act provided for the Supreme Court to have six justices, and for two additional levels: three circuit courts and 13 district courts.
The Compromise of 1790 located the national capital in a district to be defined in the southern state of Maryland (now the District of Columbia), and enabled the federal assumption of state debts.
It funded the debts of the American Revolution, set up a national bank, and set up a system of tariffs and taxes.
His policies had the effect of linking the economic interests of the states, and of wealthy Americans, to the success of the national government, as well as enhancing the international financial standing of the new nation.
Most Representatives of the South opposed Hamilton's plan because they had already repudiated their debts and thus gained little from it.
But more importantly, there were early signs of the economic and cultural rift between the Northern and Southern states that was to burst into flames seven decades later, being that the South and its plantation-based economy resisted the idea of a centralized federal government and being subordinated to Northeastern business interests.
The First Bank of the United States was thus created that year despite arguments from Thomas Jefferson and his supporters that it was unconstitutional while Hamilton declared that it was entirely within the powers granted to the federal government.
The Whiskey Rebellion happened in 1794—when settlers in the Monongahela Valley of western Pennsylvania protested against the new federal tax on whiskey, which the settlers shipped across the mountains to earn money.
By August 1794, the protests became dangerously close to outright rebellion, and on August 7, several thousand armed settlers gathered near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Foreign policy unexpectedly took center stage starting in 1793, when revolutionary France became engulfed in war with the rest of Europe, an event that was to lead to 22 years of fighting.
The Washington administration's policy of neutrality was widely supported, but the Jeffersonians strongly favored France and deeply distrusted the British, who they saw as enemies of Republicanism.
The Republicans gained support in the winter of 1793–94 as Britain seized American merchant ships and impressed their crews into the Royal Navy, but the tensions were resolved with the Jay Treaty of 1794, which opened up 10 years of prosperous trade in exchange for which Britain would remove troops from its fortifications along the Canada–US border.
The Jeffersonians viewed the Treaty as a surrender to British moneyed interests, and mobilized their supporters nationwide to defeat the treaty.
The Federalists likewise rallied supporters in a vicious conflict, which continued until 1795 when Washington publicly intervened in the debate, using his prestige to secure ratification.
By this point, the economic and political advantages of the Federalist position had become clear to all concerned, combined with growing disdain for France after the Reign of Terror and Jacobin anti-religious policies.
Although Washington remained aloof and warned against political parties in his farewell address, he generally supported Hamilton and Hamiltonian programs over those of Jefferson.
The First Party System between 1792 and 1824 featured two national parties competing for control of the presidency, Congress, and the states: the Federalist Party was created by Alexander Hamilton and was dominant to 1800.
The Federalists promoted the financial system of Treasury Secretary Hamilton, which emphasized federal assumption of state debts, a tariff to pay off those debts, a national bank to facilitate financing, and encouragement of banking and manufacturing.
The Republicans, based in the plantation South, opposed a strong executive power, were hostile to a standing army and navy, demanded a limited reading of the Constitutional powers of the federal government, and strongly opposed the Hamilton financial program.
Perhaps even more important was foreign policy, where the Federalists favored Britain because of its political stability and its close ties to American trade, while the Republicans admired the French and the French Revolution.
Adams defeated Jefferson in the 1796 presidential election, who as the runner-up became Vice President under the operation of the Electoral College of that time.
These domestic difficulties were compounded by international complications: France, angered by American approval in 1795 of the Jay Treaty with its great enemy Britain proclaimed that food and war material bound for British ports were subject to seizure by the French navy.
The Naturalization Act, which changed the residency requirement for citizenship from five to 14 years, was targeted at Irish and French immigrants suspected of supporting the Republican Party.
The few convictions won under the Sedition Act only created martyrs to the cause of civil liberties and aroused support for the Republicans.
Jefferson and his allies launched a counterattack, with two states stating in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions that state legislatures could nullify acts of Congress.
Napoleon, who had just come to power, received them cordially, and the danger of conflict subsided with the negotiation of the Convention of 1800, which formally released the United States from its 1778 wartime alliance with France.
Serving until his death in 1835, Marshall dramatically expanded the powers of the Supreme Court and provided a Federalist interpretation of the Constitution that made for a strong national government.
Jefferson is a central figure in early American history, highly praised for his political leadership, but also criticized for the role of slavery in his private life.
He was a leader in American independence, advocated religious freedom and tolerance, and opposed the centralizing tendencies of the urban financial elite.
He formed the second national political party and led it to dominance in 1800, then worked for western expansion and exploration.
For example, in 1798, to pay for the rapidly expanding army and navy, the Federalists had enacted a new tax on houses, land and slaves, affecting every property owner in the country.
Jefferson had steadily gathered behind him a great mass of small farmers, shopkeepers and other workers which asserted themselves as Democratic-Republicans in the election of 1800.
Believing America to be a haven for the oppressed, he reduced the residency requirement for naturalization back to five years again.
By the end of his second term, Jefferson and Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin had reduced the national debt to less than $560 million.
This was accomplished by reducing the number of executive department employees and Army and Navy officers and enlisted men, and by otherwise curtailing government and military spending.
This ruling by leading Federalist upset Jefferson to the point where his administration began opening impeachment hearings against judges that were perceived as abusing their power.
The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 gave Western farmers use of the important Mississippi River waterway, removed the French presence from the western border of the United States, and, most important, provided U.S. settlers with vast potential for expansion.
The United States, dependent on European revenues from the export of agricultural goods, tried to export food and raw materials to both warring Great Powers and to profit from transporting goods between their home markets and Caribbean colonies.
Following the 1805 destruction of the French navy at the Battle of Trafalgar, Britain sought to impose a stranglehold over French overseas trade ties.
Believing that Britain could not rely on other sources of food than the United States, Congress and President Jefferson suspended all U.S. trade with foreign nations in the Embargo Act of 1807, hoping to get the British to end their blockade of the American coast.
James Madison won the U.S. presidential election of 1808, largely on the strength of his abilities in foreign affairs at a time when Britain and France were both on the brink of war with the United States.
He tried various trade restrictions to try to force Britain and France to respect freedom of the seas, but they were unsuccessful.
The British had undisputed mastery over the sea after defeating the French and Spanish fleet at Trafalgar in 1805, and they took advantage of this to seize American ships at will and force their sailors into serving the Royal Navy.
Even worse, the size of the U.S. Navy was reduced due to ideological opposition to a large standing military and the Federal government became considerably weakened when the charter of the First National Bank expired and Congress declined to renew it.
A clamor for military action thus erupted just as relations with Britain and France were at a low point and the U.S.'s ability to wage war had been reduced.
In response to continued British interference with American shipping (including the practice of impressment of American sailors into the British Navy), and to British aid to American Indians in the Old Northwest, the Twelfth Congress—led by Southern and Western Jeffersonians—declared war on Britain in 1812.
Westerners and Southerners were the most ardent supporters of the war, given their concerns about defending national honor and expanding western settlements, and having access to world markets for their agricultural exports.
The war was draw in the war after bitter fighting that lasted even after the Burning of Washington in August 1814 and Andrew Jackson's smashing defeat of the British invasion army at the Battle of New Orleans in January 1815.
News of the victory at New Orleans over the best British combat troops came at the same time as news of the peace, giving Americans a psychological triumph and opening the Era of Good Feelings.
The war destroyed the anti-war Federalist Party, and opened roles as national candidates to generals Andrew Jackson and William Henry Harrison among others, as well as civilian leaders James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, and Henry Clay.
America began to rally around national heroes such as Andrew Jackson and patriotic feelings emerged in such works as Francis Scott Key's poem The Star-Spangled Banner.
Under the direction of Chief Justice John Marshall, the Supreme Court issued a series of opinions reinforcing the role of the national government.
These decisions included McCulloch v Maryland and Gibbons v Ogden; both of which reaffirmed the supremacy of the national government over the states.
The New England states that had opposed the War of 1812 felt an increasing decline in political power with the demise of the Federalist Party.
The industrial revolution in the United States was advanced by the immigration of Samuel Slater from Great Britain and arrival of textile mills beginning in Lowell, Massachusetts.
The Monroe Doctrine was drafted by Secretary of State John Quincy Adams in collaboration with the British, and proclaimed by Monroe in late 1823.
It further stated the United States' intention to stay neutral in wars between European powers and their colonies but to consider any new colonies or interference with independent countries in the Americas as hostile acts towards the United States.
As the 19th century dawned, Florida had been undisputed Spanish territory for almost 250 years, aside from 20 years of British control between the French and Indian Wars and the American Revolution.
Although a sparsely inhabited swampland, expansionist-minded Americans were eager to grab it and already, in 1808, American settlers had invaded the westernmost tip of Florida and expelled the local Spanish authorities, after which Congress hastily passed a bill annexing it under the claim that the Louisiana Purchase had guaranteed the territory to the United States.
Also taking advantage of the mother country's distraction, Spain's Latin American colonies rose up in revolt and Madrid was forced to denude Florida of troops to suppress the rebellions.
He arrested and hanged two British agents who had been encouraging Indian raids, leading to an outcry in London and calls for war.
The Spanish agreed to turn over the no-longer-defensible Florida to the US and also give up their extremely flimsy claims to the distant Oregon Territory, in exchange for which American claims on Texas were renounced (some Americans had also been claiming parts of that territory under the Louisiana Purchase).
Meanwhile, in 1818, the U.S. and Britain also agreed to settle the western border with Canada, which was established at the 49th parallel running straight from the Great Lakes to the Rocky Mountains.
Included in this settlement was the headwaters of the Red River in what would eventually become Minnesota, and the Mesabi Range, which eventually proved to contain vast amounts of iron ore.
From Kentucky came Speaker of the House Henry Clay, while Massachusetts produced Secretary of State Adams; a rump congressional caucus put forward Treasury Secretary William H. Crawford.
Adams won the electoral votes from New England and most of New York; Clay won his western base of Kentucky, Ohio, and Missouri; Jackson won his base in the Southeast, and plus Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey; and Crawford won his base in the South, Virginia, Georgia, and Delaware.
No candidate gained a majority in the Electoral College, so the president was selected by the House of Representatives, where Clay was the most influential figure.
In return for Clay's support in winning the presidency, John Quincy Adams appointed Clay as secretary of state in what Jacksonians denounced as The Corrupt Bargain.
Elected with less than 35% of the popular vote, Adams was a minority president and his cold, aloof personality did not win many friends.
Adams was also a poor politician and alienated potential political allies with his commitment to principles when he refused to remove Federal officeholders and replace them with supporters out of patronage.
A strong nationalist, he called for the construction of national road networks and canals and renewed George Washington's call for a national academy.
The South was particularly against them since they would require continued heavy tariffs to fund and there were fears that government overreach of this type could easily lead to action taken against slavery.
Despite his sterling record as Secretary of State, Adams also proved less than successful at foreign policy as his old rival, British Foreign Secretary George Canning, played a cat-and-mouse game with him.
Ever since the Treaty of Paris 42 years earlier, Britain had barred American merchantmen from visiting its islands in the West Indies, although smugglers frequently evaded this ban.
Although Adams was ultimately successful in getting approval, one of the two delegates died en route to Panama and the Panama Congress ultimately accomplished little of value.
Charismatic Andrew Jackson, by contrast, in collaboration with strategist Martin Van Buren rallied his followers in the newly emerging Democratic Party.
In the election of 1828, Jackson defeated Adams by an overwhelming electoral majority in the first presidential election since 1800 to mark a wholesale voter rejection of the previous administration's policies.
The electoral campaign was correspondingly as vicious as the one 28 years earlier, with Jackson and Adams's camps hurtling the worst mudslinging accusations at one another.
The former painted himself as a war hero and the champion of the masses against Northeastern elites while the latter argued that he was a man of education and social grace against an uncouth, semi-literate backwoodsman.
This belied the fact that Andrew Jackson was a societal elite by any definition, owning a large plantation with dozens of slaves and mostly surrounding himself with men of wealth and property.
The election saw the coming to power of Jacksonian Democracy, thus marking the transition from the First Party System (which reflected Jeffersonian Democracy) to the Second Party System.
Historians debate the significance of the election, with many arguing that it marked the beginning of modern American politics, with the decisive establishment of democracy and the formation of the two party system.
A week short of his 63rd birthday, he was the oldest man yet elected president and suffering from the effects of old battle wounds.
The inauguration ball became a notorious event in the history of the American presidency as a large mob of guests swarmed through the White House, tracking dirt and mud everywhere, and consuming a giant cheese that had been presented as an inaugural gift to the president.
Starting in the 1820s, American politics became more democratic as many state and local offices went from being appointed to elective, and the old requirements for voters to own property were abolished.
Voice voting in states gave way to ballots printed by the parties, and by the 1830s in every state except South Carolina presidential electors were chosen directly by the voters.
Jacksonian Democracy drew its support from the small farmers of the West, and the workers, artisans and small merchants of the East.
They favored geographical expansion to create more farms for people like them, and distrusted the upper classes who envisioned an industrial nation built on finance and manufacturing.
Political machines appeared early in the history of the United States, and for all the exhortations of Jacksonian Democracy, it was they and not the average voter that nominated candidates.
In addition, the system supported establishment politicians and party loyalists, and much legislation was designed to reward men and businesses who supported a particular party or candidate.
As a consequence, the chance of single issue and ideology-based candidates being elected to major office dwindled and so those parties who were successful were pragmatist ones which appealed to multiple constituencies.
Its goal was to outlaw Freemasonry as a violation of republicanism; members were energized by reports that a man who threatened to expose Masonic secrets had been murdered.
They ran a candidate for president (William Wirt) in 1832; he won 8% of the popular vote nationwide, carried Vermont, and ran well in rural Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
Others included abolitionist parties, workers' parties like the Workingmen's Party, the Locofocos (who opposed monopolies), and assorted nativist parties who denounced the Roman Catholic Church as a threat to Republicanism in the United States.
Vermont had universal male suffrage since its entry into the Union, and Tennessee permitted suffrage for the vast majority of taxpayers.
In addition, the 1828 election marked the decisive emergence of the West as a major political bloc and an end to the dominance of the original 13 states on national affairs.
In 1830, Congress passed the Indian Removal Act, which authorized the President to negotiate treaties that exchanged Indian tribal lands in the eastern states for lands west of the Mississippi River.
In all, Native American tribes signed 94 treaties during Jackson's two terms, ceding thousands of square miles to the Federal government.
The Cherokees insisted on their independence from state government authority and faced expulsion from their lands when a faction of Cherokees signed the Treaty of New Echota in 1835, obtaining money in exchange for their land.
Despite protests from the elected Cherokee government and many white supporters, the Cherokees were forced to trek to the Indian Territory in 1838.
Toward the end of his first term in office, Jackson was forced to confront the state of South Carolina on the issue of the protective tariff.
The protective tariff passed by Congress and signed into law by Jackson in 1832 was milder than that of 1828, but it further embittered many in the state.
South Carolina dealt with the tariff by adopting the Ordinance of Nullification, which declared both the Tariff of 1828 and the Tariff of 1832 null and void within state borders.
Clay's 1833 compromise tariff specified that all duties more than 20% of the value of the goods imported were to be reduced by easy stages, so that by 1842, the duties on all articles would reach the level of the moderate tariff of 1816.
South Carolina, however, had obtained many of the demands it sought and had demonstrated that a single state could force its will on Congress.
The First Bank of the United States had been established in 1791, under Alexander Hamilton's guidance and had been chartered for a 20-year period.
After the Revolutionary War, the United States had a large war debt to France and others, and the banking system of the fledgling nation was in disarray, as state banks printed their own currency, and the plethora of different bank notes made commerce difficult.
While it stabilized the currency and stimulated trade, it was resented by Westerners and workers who believed that it was granting special favors to a few powerful men.
For the next few years, the banking business was in the hands of State-Chartered banks, which issued currency in excessive amounts, creating great confusion and fueling inflation and concerns that state banks could not provide the country with a uniform currency.
The absence of a national bank during the War of 1812 greatly hindered financial operations of the government; therefore a second Bank of the United States was created in 1816.
Opponents claimed the bank possessed a virtual monopoly over the country's credit and currency, and reiterated that it represented the interests of the wealthy elite.
In the election campaign that followed, the bank question caused a fundamental division between the merchant, manufacturing and financial interests (generally creditors who favored tight money and high interest rates), and the laboring and agrarian sectors, who were often in debt to banks and therefore favored an increased money supply and lower interest rates.
Jackson saw his reelection in 1832 as a popular mandate to crush the bank irrevocably; he found a ready-made weapon in a provision of the bank's charter authorizing removal of public funds.
In September 1833 Jackson ordered that no more government money be deposited in the bank and that the money already in its custody be gradually withdrawn in the ordinary course of meeting the expenses of government.
However, a few months into his administration, the country fell into a deep economic slump known as the Panic of 1837, caused in large part by excessive speculation.
It was a devastating economic and social Catastrophe that can be compared with the panic of 1893 and the Great Depression of 1929. event with repercussions every bit as deep as the Great Depression of the 1930s.
There was an international dimension, for much of the growth In the private sector, as well as infrastructure investment by state governments (especially canals) had been financed by British capital.
The depression had its roots in Jackson's economic hard money policies that blocked investment using paper money, insisting on gold and silver.
However, his presidency would prove a non-starter when he fell ill with pneumonia and died after only a month in office.
This period of American history was marked by the destruction of some traditional roles of society and the erection of new social standards.
One of the unique aspects of the Age of Reform was that it was heavily grounded in religion, in contrast to the anti-clericalism that characterized contemporary European reformers.
It expressed Arminian theology by which every person could be saved through a direct personal confrontation with Jesus Christ during an intensely emotional revival meeting.
Many converts believed that the Awakening heralded a new millennial age, so that the Second Great Awakening stimulated the establishment of many reform movements designed to remedy the evils of society before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
At the Rochester Revival of 1830, prominent citizens concerned with the city's poverty and absenteeism had invited Finney to the city.
As the Second Great Awakening challenged the traditional beliefs of the Calvinist faith, the movement inspired other groups to call into question their views on religion and society.
Many of these utopianist groups also believed in millennialism which prophesied the return of Christ and the beginning of a new age.
The Shakers, founded by an English immigrant to the United States Mother Ann Lee, peaked at around 6,000 in 1850 in communities from Maine to Kentucky.
The Perfectionist movement, led by John Humphrey Noyes, founded the utopian Oneida Community in 1848 with fifty-one devotees, in Oneida, New York.
The Onedia Community believed in the abolition of marriage or monogamous relationships and that sex should be free to whoever consented to it.
As opposed to 20th century social movements such as the Sexual Revolution of the 1960s, the Onedians did not seek consequence-free sex for mere pleasure, but believed that, because the logical outcome of intercourse was pregnancy, that raising children should be a communal responsibility.
After the original founders died or became elderly, their children rejected the concept of free love and returned to traditional family models.
Because of their unusual beliefs, which included recognition of the Book of Mormon as an additional book of scripture comparable to the Bible, Mormons were rejected by mainstream Christians and forced to flee en masse from upstate New York to Ohio, to Missouri and then to Nauvoo, Illinois, where Smith was killed and they were again forced to flee.
National policy was to suppress polygamy, and Utah was only admitted as a state in 1896 after The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints backtracked from Smith's demand that all the leaders practice polygamy.
For Americans wishing to bridge the gap between the earthly and spiritual worlds, spiritualism provided a means of communing with the dead.
Spiritualism would gain a much larger following after the heavy number of casualties during the Civil War; First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln was a believer.
Philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson began the American transcendentalist movement in New England, to promote self-reliance and better understanding of the universe through contemplation of the over-soul.
While Emerson and Henry David Thoreau promoted the idea of independent living, George Ripley brought transcendentalists together in a phalanx at Brook Farm to live cooperatively.
In the New England states public education was common, although it was often class-based with the working class receiving little benefits.
The wealthier planter families were able to bring in tutors for instruction in the classics but many yeoman farming families had little access to education outside of the family unit.
German immigrants brought in kindergartens and the Gymnasium (school), while Yankee orators sponsored the Lyceum movement that provided popular education for hundreds of towns and small cities.
The social conscience that was raised in the early 19th century helped to elevate the awareness of mental illness and its treatment.
A leading advocate of reform for mental illness was Dorothea Dix, a Massachusetts woman who made an intensive study of the conditions that the mentally ill were kept in.
Dix's report to the Massachusetts state legislature along with the development of the Kirkbride Plan helped to alleviate the miserable conditions for many of the mentally ill.
Although these facilities often fell short of their intended purpose, reformers continued to follow Dix's advocacy and call for increased study and treatment of mental illness.
Zagarri (2007) argues the Revolution created an ongoing debate on the rights of women and created an environment favorable to women's participation in politics.
During the building of the new republic, American women were able to gain a limited political voice in what is known as republican motherhood.
Under this philosophy, as promoted by leaders such as Abigail Adams, women were seen as the protectors of liberty and republicanism.
During the 1830s and 1840s, many of the changes in the status of women that occurred in the post-Revolutionary period—such as the belief in love between spouses and the role of women in the home—continued at an accelerated pace.
This was an age of reform movements, in which Americans sought to improve the moral fiber of themselves and of their nation in unprecedented numbers.
The wife's role in this process was important because she was seen as the cultivator of morality in her husband and children.
Some doctors of this period even went so far as to suggest that women should not get an education, lest they divert blood away from the uterus to the brain and produce weak children.
By 1800, many political leaders were convinced that slavery was undesirable, and should eventually be abolished, and the slaves returned to their natural homes in Africa.
The American Colonization Society, which was active in both North and South, tried to implement these ideas and established the colony of Liberia in Africa as a means to repatriate slaves out of white society.
His advocacy of women's rights and inclusion of women in the leadership of the Society caused a rift within the movement.
Rejecting Garrison's idea that abolition and women's rights were connected Lewis Tappan broke with the Society and formed the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society.
The anger over abolition even spilled over into Congress where a gag rule was instituted to prevent any discussion of slavery on the floor of either chamber.
Most whites viewed African-Americans as an inferior race and had little taste for abolitionists, often assuming that all were like Garrison.
African-Americans had little freedom even in states where slavery was not permitted, being shunned by whites, subjected to discriminatory laws, and often forced to compete with Irish immigrants for menial, low-wage jobs.
In the South meanwhile, planters argued that slavery was necessary to operate their plantations profitably and that emancipated slaves would attempt to Africanize the country as they had done in Haiti.
By far the most prominent spokesperson for abolition in the African American community was Frederick Douglass, an escaped slave whose eloquent condemnations of slavery drew both crowds of supporters as well as threats against his life.
Garrison along with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott were so appalled that women were not allowed to participate at the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London that they called for a women's rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York.
This new polemic squarely blamed men for all the restrictions of women's role, and argued that the relationship between the sexes was one-sided, controlling and oppressive.
Groups such as the American Temperance Society condemned liquor as being a scourge on society and urged temperance among their followers.
The state of Maine attempted in 1851 to ban alcohol sales and production entirely, but it met resistance and was abandoned.
Second, improvements were made to industrial processes such as the use of interchangeable parts and railroads to ship goods more quickly.
The steady expansion and rapid population growth of the United States after 1815 contrasted sharply with static European societies, as visitors described the rough, sometimes violent, but on the whole hugely optimistic and forward-looking attitude of most Americans.
While land ownership was something most Europeans could only dream of, contemporary accounts show that the average American farmer owned his land and fed his family far more than European peasants, and could make provisions for land for his children.
Europeans commonly talked of the egalitarianism of American society, which had no landed nobility and which theoretically allowed anyone regardless of birth to become successful.
For example, in Germany, the universities, the bureaucracy and the army officers required high family status; in Britain rich families purchased commissions in the army for their sons for tens of thousands of pounds.
Poor boys of the 1850s like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller were two of the richest men in the world by 1900.
Historians have emphasized that upward social mobility came in small steps over time, and over generations, with the Carnegie-like rags-to-riches scenario a rare one.
Some ethnic groups (like Yankees, Irish and Jews) prized upward mobility, and emphasized education as the fastest route; other groups (such as Germans, Poles and Italians) emphasized family stability and home ownership more.
With the defeat of the eastern Indians in the War of 1812, American settlers moved in great numbers into the rich farmlands of the Midwest.
After the demise of the fur trade, they established trading posts throughout the west, continued trade with the Indians and served as guides and hunters for the western migration of settlers to Utah and the Pacific coast.
Whigs welcomed most of the changes wrought by industrialization but advocated strong government policies that would guide growth and development within the country's existing boundaries; they feared (correctly) that expansion raised a contentious issue the extension of slavery to the territories.
... For many Democrats, the answer to the nation's social ills was to continue to follow Thomas Jefferson's vision of establishing agriculture in the new territories in order to counterbalance industrialization.
It was also used to threaten war with Britain, but President Polk negotiated a compromise that divided the Oregon Country half and half.
After a bitter debate in Congress the Republic of Texas was voluntarily annexed in 1845, which Mexico had repeatedly warned meant war.
In May 1846, Congress declared war on Mexico after Mexican troops massacred a U.S. Army detachment in a disputed unsettled area.
The U.S. Army, augmented by tens of thousands of volunteers, under the command of General Zachary Taylor defeated Santa Anna's in northern Mexico while other American forces quickly took possession of New Mexico and California.
It recognized the Rio Grande as the southern boundary of Texas and ceded what is now the states of California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico to the United States, while also paying Mexico $15,000,000 for the territory.
In the presidential election of 1848, Zachary Taylor ran as a Whig and won easily when the Democrats split, even though he was an apolitical military man who never voted in his life.
With Texas and Florida having been admitted to the union as slave states in 1845, California was entered as a free state in 1850 after its state convention unanimously voted to ban slavery.
Güssing, a major town in south Burgenland, a district comprising around 27,000 inhabitants, is the first community in the European Union to produce its whole energy demand – electricity, heating/cooling, fuels – out of renewable resources, all resources from within the region.
However, to appreciate the enormity of this achievement, you need to rewind and go back to 1988 when Güssing was one of the poorest regions in Austria.
On account of the geographically unfavourable location near the border, major trade or industrial businesses did not exist at that time and the whole district did not have any transportation infrastructure at all (neither railroad nor highway).
This resulted in a scarcity of jobs, 70% weekly commuters to Vienna and a high rate of migration to other regions.
So they wanted to keep that € 6 Million (value for 1992, based on conventional energy prices of that year) in the city.
The objective was to supply, in a first step, the town of Güssing and subsequently the whole district with regionally available renewable energy sources.
The election of the town's current mayor, Peter Vadasz, in 1992 accelerated the process, particularly when he appointed Reinhard Koch, an electrical engineer and native of Güssing, to assess how the town could benefit from its natural resources, i.e.
In 1998, Koch and Vadasz saw a presentation by a Viennese scientist, Hermann Hofbauer, about a technology he had developed to make an alternative fuel from wood.
They asked Hofbauer and Vienna's Technical University to build a pilot project in Güssing applying the technology, where wood chips are gasified under high temperature conditions.
A special scheme (very easy – stable energy prices, not linked to oil & gas, guaranteed long-term, 10–15 years) promoting the establishment of enterprises in the area has brought 50 new enterprises with more than 1,000 direct and indirect jobs in the city.
Güssing has since developed into an important location for industries with high energy consumption, such as parquetry production or hardwood drying.
The real highlight is the Blue Chip Energy, first high-efficiency solar cell production in Austria, a joint venture with Solon AG, who came to Güssing only because they can power the plant with clean energy from the renewable resources.
The town is conscious about the resources and is keen to take care and look after the surrounding forest to ensure they have a good supply of renewable energy for the future.
Added to which, the town is currently using less than half of its yearly wood growth supply to feed its power plants.
Within the process of becoming energy autonomous city, a number of proprietary technologies and patents developed, to be applied in different fields, such as photovoltaic, biomass, etc.
Also, extensive experience in analysis, preparation and implementation of such projects was accumulated, that experience to be given to other cities and communities willing to go the same renewable way.
Significant power plants include a 2 MW electric power 4.5 MW thermic wood gas generator power plant in Güssing and, in nearby Strem, a 0.5 MW electric power 0.5 MW thermic biomass gasification power plant using green silage re-growing raw materials like grass, clover, mains, sunflower.
Visitors flock from around the world to gain inspiration from the town and keen to stay true to their eco-friendly roots, guests can stay in hotels that are heated and electrically powered all by renewables.
Calcflinta is also found, for example, around the northwest margin of the Dartmoor granite in England, and on King Island in Tasmania.
The South Fork of the Grand River is a tributary of the Grand River, approximately 90 mi (145 km) long, in South Dakota in the United States.
It rises in the Badlands of northwestern South Dakota, south of the Cave Hills in western Harding County, and flows east past Buffalo, then past several units of the Grand River National Grassland in northern Perkins County.
It joins the North Fork in the Shadehill Reservoir near to form the Grand, which is a tributary of the Missouri.
John Dixwell (1607 – 18 March 1689) was an English man who sat in Parliament, fought for the Parliamentary cause in the English Civil War, and was one of the Commissioners who sat in judgement on King Charles I and condemned him to death.
At the Restoration he fled to Connecticut where he lived out the rest of his life as John Davids untroubled by the authorities who thought him dead.
He was the younger son of Edward Dixwell, but was raised by his uncle Basil Dixwell of Broome Park, near Canterbury in Kent.
He became a colonel in the Parliamentary army and was active on various county committees, and was elected to the Long Parliament of 1640 as MP for Dover.
He assumed the name John Davids and was reunited in 1664 with two other men likewise condemned, William Goffe and Edward Whalley, who had found refuge in Hadley, Massachusetts.
After a reward was offered for their arrest, they pretended to flee to New York City, but instead returned by a roundabout way to New Haven.
In May, the Royal order for their arrest reached Boston, and was sent by the Governor to William Leete, Governor of the New Haven Colony, residing at Guilford.
Dixwell was not the subject of any searches or arrest warrants, as it was believed in England that he was dead.
Dixwell died in New Haven in March 1689, a month after the House of Commons of England had approved a Declaration of Right (the precursor of the Bill of Rights 1689) following the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
The three regicides are commemorated by three intersecting streets in New Haven (Dixwell Avenue, Whalley Avenue, and Goffe Street ), and by place names in other Connecticut towns.
His second marriage, in 1677, was to Bathsheba (or Bathshua) Howe, with whom he had a son, John, and two daughters (Elizabeth, who died in infancy, and Mary, who married John Collins of Middletown in 1707).. A Harvard College Class of 1796 graduate and a maternal descendant of Dixwell named John Hunt legally changed his name to that of his ancestor John Dixwell in 1804.
It consists of two united communities: Mitterpullendorf and Oberpullendorf, and is also the capital of the same called administrative district of Oberpullendorf.
It is surrounded by the communities of Stoob to the north, Großwarasdorf to the east, Frankenau-Unterpullendorf to the south, and Steinberg-Dörfl to the west.
Traditionally Oberpullendorf was the seat of several noble families, among them the Counts Cseszneky de Milvány and the Barons Rohonczy de Felsőpulya.
Despite diplomatic efforts by Hungary, the victorious parties of World War I set the date of Burgenland's official unification with Austria as August 28, 1921.
Above that, a golden lion facing to the right is holding a golden sword and in the background a golden ploughshare is situated, which is accompanied by two golden ears of corn.
The parish council consists of 23 mandates - of which the ÖVP (Austrian People's Party) is holding 12 mandates, the SPÖ (Social Democratic Party) has 10 mandates and Die Grünen (Green Party of Austria) have 1 mandate (since 2007).
Neusiedl am See (, , , ) is a town in Burgenland, Austria, and administrative center of the district of Neusiedl am See.
Neusiedl in 1683 was in the wake of the second Turkish siege, and in 1708 the town was devastated by the Kuruc.
After the end of World War I, it was awarded after tough negotiations, German West Hungary in the Treaty of St. Germain and Trianon, Austria 1919.
The town has produced few notable figures, one exception is the experimental guitarist and composer, Christian Fennesz, known for his swirling, spatial works and collaboration with Japanese pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto.
The Elizabethan Religious Settlement is the name given to the religious and political arrangements made for England during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558–1603) as part of the English Reformation.
The Settlement shaped the theology and liturgy of the Church of England and was important to the development of Anglicanism as a distinct Christian tradition.
When Elizabeth inherited the throne, England was bitterly divided between Catholics and Protestants as a result of constant religious change during the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI and Mary I. Henry VIII separated the English Church from the Roman Catholic Church and the authority of the Pope.
During Edward's reign, the Church of England adopted a Reformed theology and liturgy, but in Mary's reign, England was re-united with the Catholic Church and Protestantism was suppressed.
The Act of Supremacy of 1558 re-established the Church of England's independence from Rome, with Parliament conferring on Elizabeth the title Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
The modifications included giving individuals greater latitude concerning belief in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist and permission to use traditional priestly vestments.
In 1571, the Thirty-Nine Articles was adopted as a confessional statement for the church, and a Book of Homilies was issued outlining the church's reformed theology in greater detail.
Within the Church of England, Puritans pressed to remove what they considered papist abuses from the church's liturgy and to replace bishops with a presbyterian system of church government.
After Elizabeth's death, the Puritans were challenged by a high church, Arminian party that gained power during the reign of Charles I.
The English Civil War and overthrow of the monarchy allowed the Puritans to pursue their reform agenda and the dismantling of the Elizabethan Settlement.
After his wife, Catherine of Aragon, failed to produce a male heir, Henry applied to the Pope for an annulment of his marriage.
When his request was denied, Henry separated the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church and claimed that he, rather than the Pope, was its Supreme Head on earth.
Justification by faith alone was a central teaching, in contrast to the Catholic teaching that the contrite person could cooperate with God towards their salvation by performing good works.
The Mass, the central act of Catholic worship, was condemned as idolatry and replaced with a Protestant communion service, a reminder of Christ's crucifixion.
She disliked married clergy, held Lutheran views on Eucharistic presence, and there is evidence she preferred the more ceremonial 1549 Prayer Book.
At certain times, the Queen made her religious preferences clear, such as on Christmas Day 1558, when before Mass she instructed Bishop Owen Oglethorpe not to elevate the host.
Nevertheless, Protestants were emboldened to practice illegal forms of worship, and a proclamation on 27 December prohibited all forms other than the Latin Mass and the English Litany.
When the Queen's first Parliament opened in January 1559, its chief goal was the difficult task of reaching a religious settlement.
Twenty bishops (all Roman Catholics) sat in the House of Lords as Lords Spiritual, and the Lords in general were opposed to change.
In February, the House of Commons passed a Reformation Bill that would restore royal supremacy as well as the 1550 Ordinal and a slightly revised 1552 Prayer Book.
It was not popular with the clergy, and the Convocation of Canterbury reacted by affirming papal supremacy, transubstantiation and the Mass as a sacrificial offering.
The Ordinal and Prayer Book provisions were removed and the Mass left unchanged, with the exception of allowing communion under both kinds.
The Pope's authority was removed, but rather than granting the Queen the title of Supreme Head, it merely said she could adopt it herself.
This bill would have returned the Church to its position at the death of Henry VIII rather than to that when Edward VI died.
At this point, the Privy Council introduced two new bills, one on royal supremacy and the other on a Protestant liturgy.
Under this bill, the Pope's jurisdiction in England was once again abolished, and Elizabeth was to be Supreme Governor of the Church of England instead of Supreme Head.
The alternative title was less offensive to Catholic members of Parliament, but this was unlikely to have been the only reason for the alteration.
Under the bill, only opinions contrary to Scripture, the General Councils of the early church, and any future Parliament could be treated as heresy by the Crown's ecclesiastical commissioners.
Another bill introduced to the same Parliament with the intent to return Protestant practices to legal dominance was the Uniformity bill, which sought to restore the 1552 Prayer Book as the official liturgy.
Bishop Goldwell of St Asaph was never summoned to Parliament, and the elderly Bishop Tunstall of Durham was excused from attending on account of age.
It also deleted the Black Rubric, which in the 1552 book explained that kneeling for communion did not imply Eucharistic adoration.
Since the Act of Uniformity 1549 which approved the first Prayer Book was passed in January, it is likely that the provisions of the 1549 Prayer Book were intended, even though Edward's second year ended several months before the book was published.
The most significant revision was a change to the Communion Service that added the words for administering sacramental bread and wine from the 1549 Prayer Book to the words in the 1552 book.
This combination could be interpreted as an affirmation of an objective real presence to those who believed in it, while others could interpret it to mean memorialism.
This theory has been challenged by Christopher Haigh, who argues that Elizabeth wanted radical reform but was pushed in a conservative direction by the House of Lords.
He argues the modifications were most likely meant to appease domestic and foreign Lutheran Protestants who opposed the memorialist view originating from reformed Zurich.
In 1559, Elizabeth was still unsure of the theological orientation of her Protestant subjects, and she did not want to offend the Lutheran rulers of northern Europe by veering too far into the Reformed camp.
The remaining bishops were all Catholics appointed during Mary's reign, and Elizabeth's advisers hoped they could be persuaded to continue serving.
Ultimately, all but two bishops (the undistinguished Anthony Kitchin of Llandaff and the absentee Thomas Stanley of Sodor and Man) lost their posts.
Most of the other posts went to Marian exiles such as Edmund Grindal for London, Richard Cox for Ely, John Jewel for Salisbury, William Barlow for Chichester and John Scory for Hereford.
These new royal injunctions were meant to fill in the details of the settlement and were to be enforced nationwide by six groups of clerical and lay commissioners.
All of the leading clergymen were Protestants and former exiles (Robert Horne, Thomas Becon, Thomas Bentham, John Jewel, Edwin Sandys, and Richard Davies), and they interpreted the injunctions in the most Protestant way possible.
According to the injunctions, church images that were superstitiously abused were condemned as idolatry, but the commissioners mandated the destruction of all pictures and images.
Across the nation, parishes paid to have roods, images and altar tabernacles removed, which they had only recently paid to restore under Queen Mary.
They would spend more money on buying Bibles and Prayer Books and replacing chalices with communion cups (a chalice was designed for the priest alone whereas a communion cup was larger and to be used by the whole congregation).
In 1560, the bishops specified that the cope should be worn when administering the Lord's Supper and the surplice at all other times.
These included injunctions allowing processions to take place at Rogationtide and requirements that clergy receive permission to marry from the bishop and two justices of the peace.
A year later, the Queen herself ordered the demolition of all lofts, but the rood beams were to remain on which the royal arms were to be displayed.
Many did so out of sympathy with traditional Catholic religion, while others waited to see if this religious settlement was permanent before taking expensive action.
The bishops thought that Catholicism was widespread among the old clergy, but priests were rarely removed because of a clergy shortage that began with an influenza epidemic in 1558.
It was given statutory force by the Subscription Act, which required all new ministers to affirm their agreement with this confessional statement.
The forced impressment of boys for service as singers in St. Paul's Cathedral and the royal chapel continued during this period.
The settlement of 1559 had given Protestants control of the Church of England, but matters were different at the parish level, where Catholic priests and traditional laity held large majorities.
The Church of England's refusal to adopt the patterns of the Continental Reformed churches deepened conflict between Protestants who desired greater reforms and church authorities who prioritised conformity.
In the early years of Elizabeth's reign, most Catholics hoped the Protestant ascendancy would be temporary, as it had been prior to Mary's restoration of papal authority.
From there they wrote and published a large body of Catholic polemical work to counter Protestantism, particularly Thomas Harding, Richard Smyth, and William Allen.
In 1568, the English College at Douai was founded to provide a Catholic education to young Englishmen and, eventually, to train a new leadership for a restored Catholic Church in England.
Wealthy church papists attended their parish church but had Mass at home or hired two chaplains, one to perform the Prayer Book service and the other to perform the Mass.
The discovery of the Ridolfi plot–a Catholic conspiracy to overthrow Elizabeth and place Mary, Queen of Scots on the throne–further alarmed the English government.
However, it had two major weaknesses: membership loss as church papists conformed fully to the Church of England, and a shortage of priests.
In 1581, a new law made it treason to be absolved from schism and reconciled with Rome and the fine for recusancy was increased to £20 per month (50 times an artisan's wage).
Afterwards, executions of Catholic priests became more common, and in 1585, it became treason for a Catholic priest to enter the country, as well as for anyone to aid or shelter him.
As the older generation of recusant priests died out, Roman Catholicism collapsed among the lower classes in the north, west and in Wales.
Leading Protestants within the Church of England were attracted to the Reformed churches of south Germany and Switzerland led by theologians such as John Calvin, Heinrich Bullinger and others.
In England, however, Protestants were forced to operate within a church structure unchanged since medieval times with the same threefold orders of bishop, priest and deacon along with church courts that continued to use medieval canon law.
There were objections over the Prayer Book, including certain formulas and responses, the sign of the cross in baptism, the surplice and use of a wedding ring in marriage.
This was particularly evident between 1565 and 1567 during the Vestments controversy over the refusal of some clergy to wear the clerical dress required by the Royal Injunctions.
For many Protestants, clerical vestments symbolised a continued belief in a priestly order separate from the congregation, and could be interpreted by Catholics as affirmation of traditional doctrines.
In general, the bishops considered clerical dress adiaphora and tried to find compromise, but the Queen believed that the church—and herself as Supreme Governor—had authority to determine rites and ceremonies.
In the end, Archbishop Parker issued a code of discipline for the clergy called the Advertisements, and the most popular and effective Protestant preachers were suspended for non-compliance.
These Puritans were not without influence, enjoying the support of powerful men such as the Earl of Leicester, Walter Mildmay, Francis Walsingham, the Earl of Warwick and William Cecil.
In 1572, a bill was introduced in the Queen's 4th Parliament that would allow Protestants, with their bishop's permission, to omit ceremonies from the 1559 Prayer Book, and bishops would be further empowered to license clergymen to use the French and Dutch stranger church liturgies.
By 1572, the debate between Puritans and conformists had entered a new phase—church government had replaced vestments as the major issue.
John Whitgift of Cambridge University, a leading advocate for conformity, published a reply in October 1572, and he and Cartwright subsequently entered into a pamphlet war.
The Admonition Controversy was not a disagreement over soteriology—both Cartwright and Whitgift believed in predestination and that human works played no role in salvation.
The majority of conformists were part of the Reformed consensus that included the Puritans; what divided the parties were disputes over church government.
In the Parliaments of 1584 and 1586, the Puritans attempted to push through legislation that would institute a presbyterian form of government for the Church of England and replace the Prayer Book with the service book used in Geneva.
In response, a group of conformists including Richard Bancroft, John Bridges, Matthew Sutcliffe, Thomas Bilson, and Hadrian Saravia began defending the English Church's episcopal polity more strongly, no longer merely accepting it as convenient but asserting it as divine law.
The Church of Scotland was even more strongly Reformed, having a presbyterian polity and John Knox's liturgy, the Book of Common Order.
James was himself a moderate Calvinist, and the Puritans hoped the King would move the English Church in the Scottish direction.
James, however, did the opposite, forcing the Scottish Church to accept bishops and the Five Articles of Perth, all attempts to make it as similar as possible to the English Church.
The most important outcome of the Conference, however, was the decision to produce a new translation of the Bible, the 1611 King James Version.
While a disappointment for Puritans, the provisions were aimed at satisfying moderate Puritans and isolating them from their more radical counterparts.
The Church of England's dominant theology was still Calvinism, but a group of theologians associated with Bishop Lancelot Andrewes disagreed with many aspects of the Reformed tradition, especially its teaching on predestination.
James I tried to balance the Puritan forces within his church with followers of Andrewes, promoting many of them at the end of his reign.
Due to their belief in free will, this new faction is known as the Arminian party, but their high church orientation was more controversial.
Laudianism, however, was unpopular with both Puritans and Prayer Book Protestants, who viewed the high church innovations as undermining forms of worship they had grown attached to.
The English Civil War resulted in the overthrow of Charles I, and a Puritan dominated Parliament began to dismantle the Elizabethan Settlement.
Around 900 ministers refused to subscribe to the new Prayer Book and were removed from their positions, an event known as the Great Ejection.
It was in the period after 1660 that Richard Hooker's thought became influential within the Church of England, as Anglicans tried to define themselves in ways distinct from Protestant dissenters.
Oberwart ( ; ) is a town in Burgenland in southeast Austria on the banks of the Pinka River, and the capital of the district of the same name.
Oberwart is the cultural capital of the small ethnic Hungarian minority in Burgenland, living in the Upper Őrség or Wart microregion.
In the Age of Counter-Reformation, most of the region had to return to Roman Catholic faith, but the free noble village of Felsőőr remained Calvinist.
The villagers participated in the Hungarian national uprising of István Bocskay in 1605, and of Count Francis II Rákóczi in 1705.
In the time of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, the villagers defeated (with the help of a Hussar troop) a smaller Croatian army.
Some typical family names were: Ádám, Adorján, Albert, Andorkó, Balás, Bertha, Bertók, Fábián, Fülöp, Gál, Imre, Kázmér, Miklós, Orbán, Pál, Pongrácz, etc.
According to the Treaty of Trianon in 1920, Felsőőr was annexed by Austria, but the Hungarian population opposed the decision and organised a movement to establish the autonomous province of Lajtabánság.
In the course of the 20th century a language shift occurred in local population, changing the use of Hungarian to German.
Magyars lost their historical majority in Felsőőr/Oberwart but the town remained the most important Hungarian educational, religious and cultural centre in Burgenland.
The Christian Reading Club of Young Men (founded in 1889) is an important cultural association of the Hungarian minority with a library, folk dance group and theater group.
The Hungarian kindergarten was reestablished after World War II in 1951 and a new Bilingual Secondary School was set up in 1992.
The neighbourhood is the oldest part of the town with narrow lanes and more than one hundred old houses which are typical examples of the rural architecture of the Felső-Őrség.
The main feature of the old arms - the figure of the frontier-guard - was kept but the details changed and the inscription disappeared.
The population of the town increased continuously during the last 150 years with only two smaller setbacks caused by World War I and World War II.
Hungarians were the most populous ethnicity until 1951 when German speaking people were recorded for the first time as the largest group.
In the second half of the 20th century they decreased both in numbers and percentage, reaching the lowest point in 1971 with only 204 people.
In May and June 1912, Mann visited her and became acquainted with the team of doctors and patients in this cosmopolitan institution.
He was also drawn to speculate about more general questions related to personal attitudes to life, health, illness, sexuality and mortality.
Mann's vast composition is erudite, subtle, ambitious, but, most of all, ambiguous; since its original publication it has been subject to a variety of critical assessments.
Given this complexity, each reader is obliged to interpret the significance of the pattern of events in the narrative, a task made more difficult by the author's irony.
Following the early death of his parents, Castorp has been brought up by his grandfather and later, by a maternal uncle named James Tienappel.
Before beginning work, he undertakes a journey to visit his tubercular cousin, Joachim Ziemssen, who is seeking a cure in a sanatorium in Davos, high up in the Swiss Alps.
What at first appears to be a minor bronchial infection with slight fever is diagnosed by the sanatorium's chief doctor and director, Hofrat Behrens, as symptoms of tuberculosis.
These include Lodovico Settembrini (an Italian humanist and encyclopedist, a student of Giosuè Carducci); Leo Naphta, Jewish Jesuit who favors totalitarianism; Mynheer Peeperkorn, a dionysian Dutchman; and his romantic interest, Madame Clawdia Chauchat.
Also embedded within this vast novel are extended reflections on the experience of time, music, nationalism, sociological issues and changes in the natural world.
He also alludes to the irrational forces within the human psyche, at a time when Freudian psychoanalysis was becoming a prominent type of treatment.
Mann acknowledged his debt to the skeptical insights of Friedrich Nietzsche concerning modern humanity, and he drew from these in creating discussion between the characters.
Throughout the book the author employs the discussion with and between Settembrini, Naphta and the medical staff to introduce the young Castorp to a wide spectrum of competing ideologies about responses to the Age of Enlightenment.
The disease ends fatally for many of the patients, such as the Catholic girl Barbara Hujus whose fear of death is heightened in a harrowing Viaticum scene, and cousin Ziemssen who leaves this world like an ancient hero.
Besides the deaths from fatal illness, two characters commit suicide, and finally Castorp goes off to fight in World War I, and it is implied that he will be killed on the battlefield.
As Hans Castorp once says to Madame Chauchat, there are two ways to life: One is the common, direct, and brave.
The narrative is ordered chronologically but it accelerates throughout the novel, so that the first five chapters relate only the first of Castorp’s seven years at the sanatorium in great detail; the remaining six years, marked by monotony and routine, are described in the last two chapters.
The characters also reflect on the problems of narration and time, about the correspondence between the length of a narrative and the duration of the events it describes.
Mann also meditates upon the interrelationship between the experience of time and space; of time seeming to pass more slowly when one doesn't move in space.
This aspect of the novel mirrors contemporary philosophical and scientific debates which are embodied in Heidegger's writings and Einstein's theory of relativity, in which space and time are inseparable.
There, in a grotesque scene named after Walpurgis Night, the setting is transformed into the Blocksberg, where according to German tradition, witches and wizards meet in obscene revelry.
The x-ray laboratory in the cellar represents the Hades of Greek mythology, where Medical Director Behrens acts as the judge and punisher Rhadamanthys and where Castorp is a fleeting visitor, like Odysseus.
Hans Castorp loved music from his heart; it worked upon him much the same way as did his breakfast porter, with deeply soothing, narcotic effect, tempting him to doze.
In the book's final scene, Castorp, now an ordinary soldier on Germany's western front in World War I, hums the last-mentioned song of Franz Schubert to himself as his unit advances in battle.
However, he remains pale and mediocre, representing a German bourgeois that is torn between conflicting influences – capable of the highest humanistic ideals, yet at the same time prone to both stubborn philistinism and radical ideologies.
In a way, Hans Castorp can be seen as the incorporation of the young Weimar Republic: Both humanism and radicalism, represented by Settembrini and Naphta, try to win his favour, but Castorp is unable to decide.
His body temperature is a subtle metaphor for his lack of clarity: Following Schiller’s theory of fever, Castorp’s temperature is 37.6°C, which is neither healthy nor ill, but an intermediate point.
Furthermore the outside temperature in Castorp's residence is out of balance: it is either too warm or too cold and tends to extremes (e.g.
He tries to counter Castorp's morbid fascination with death and disease, warns him against the ill Madame Chauchat, and tries to demonstrate a positive outlook on life.
However, while the novel was written, Mann himself became an outspoken supporter of the Weimar Republic, which may explain why Settembrini, especially in the later chapters, becomes the authorial voice.
The female promise of sensual pleasure as hindrance to male zest for action imitates the themes from the Circe mythos and in the nymphs in Wagner's Venus Mountain.
Clawdia Chauchat leaves the Berghof for some time, but she returns with an impressive companion, Mynheer Peeperkorn, who suffers from a tropical disease.
Mynheer Peeperkorn, Clawdia Chauchat's new lover, enters the Berghof scenery rather late; but he is certainly one of the most-dominating persons of the novel.
By Mynheer Peeperkorn the author of the novel simultaneously personalizes his rival, the influential German poet Gerhart Hauptmann, and even certain properties of Goethe (with whom Hauptmann often was compared).
Joachim Ziemssen, Hans Castorp's cousin, is described as a young person representing the ideals of loyalty and faithfulness as an officer.
But, in contrast to Hans Castorp, who is an assertive person on the Berghof scene, Joachim Ziemssen is rather shy, known to stand somehow outside of the community.
It is the centre of the City Municipality of Murska Sobota near the Mura River in the region of Prekmurje and is the regional capital.
It was also part of the Balatin Sanjak, which belonged at first to the Budin Eyalet, later the Kanije Eyaleti, before the Treaty of Karlowitz.
Murska Sobota used to be Yugoslavia's northernmost city, and throughout history it has shifted across borders between Slovenia, Yugoslavia, and Hungary.
In 1991, during the Ten-Day War between Slovenia and the Yugoslav Federal Army, Murska Sobota was bombed from the air, with no casualties or visible damage.
In April 2006, the city became the see of the newly created Roman Catholic Diocese of Murska Sobota, which is a suffragan to the archdiocese of Maribor.
It was consecrated on 31 August 1908 and demolished in 1954 by the local communist authorities after they purchased the building from a decimated Jewish community.
On 26 April 1944, all of the Jews were ordered to gather in the Murska Sobota synagogue, with hand luggage only.
There, they were locked up overnight without food or water, and the next morning all the Jews of Murska Sobota were transferred to Čakovec and then to Nagykanizsa, the main concentration camp before their final destination of Auschwitz.
Bower was born John William Kiszkan into a Ukrainian Canadian family in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, to Johnny Kiszkan, a labourer born Dymtro Kiszkan, and his wife, Lizzie, nee Jacobson.
He taught himself how to play hockey, using a branch as a stick, and made himself goalie pads out of old mattresses.
When he was 15, he lied about his age and enlisted in the Canadian Army during World War II; from 1940 to 1943 he was stationed in England as a gunner with the 2nd Canadian Division.
In 1945, he turned professional in the American Hockey League (AHL), where he spent eleven seasons playing mostly for the Cleveland Barons in the late 1940s and 1950s.
In the AHL, he proved himself the star goaltender of the circuit, winning numerous awards and leading his teams to three Calder Cup championships.
Bower made his debut in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the New York Rangers in , at the age of 29.
He played there for four more years with three teams, the Providence Reds, the Vancouver Canucks and the Cleveland Barons, and was called up briefly by the Rangers in and .
The Leafs at this time were an up-and-coming team of young star players, and after Imlach traded for Red Kelly, the Leafs were ready for contention.
He was known for his hard-nosed, scrappy playing style and helped the Leafs win another Stanley Cup in 1967 with another Hall of Famer, Terry Sawchuk.
On April 6, 1969, at the age of 44 years, 4 months, and 29 days, Bower became the oldest goaltender to play in a Stanley Cup playoff game (Lester Patrick had previously held that distinction).
He played his last game on December 10, 1969, a 6–3 loss to Montreal; mainly due to injuries, this was his only game of the 1969–70 season.
At the time, he was the oldest full-time player ever to participate in an NHL game, and remains the second-oldest goaltender (45 years, 1 month, 2 days), behind only Maurice Roberts; he was surpassed as oldest full-time player by Gordie Howe, Chris Chelios, and Jaromír Jágr.
He retired in 1990, but continued to make public appearances on behalf of the organization for the rest of his life.
Bower was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1976, and to the AHL Hall of Fame as a member of its inaugural class in 2006.
He was inducted into the Etobicoke Sports Hall of Fame in 1994, and into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 1999.
He was married to Nancy and had a son, two daughters, eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, and resided in Mississauga, Ontario.
After a city park near his house was renamed in his honour, he would routinely clean litter there, and feed the birds.
In 2005, the Royal Canadian Mint featured Bower on a non-circulating fifty-cent coin, as part of its four-coin Legends of the Toronto Maple Leafs coin set.
On September 6, 2014, the Maple Leafs named him and Darryl Sittler two of the first three inductees of Legends Row (Ted Kennedy had been inducted some months earlier), with statues outside Air Canada Centre of twelve of the greatest players in Maple Leafs history.
In the days following Bower's death, many teams, including theMaple Leafs, Winnipeg Jets, Arizona Coyotes and Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association honoured Bower with pre-game tributes.
The event was attended by thousands, including various NHL alumni, members of the current Maple Leafs team and other major figures.
The memorial was televised across several channels in Canada, and in accordance with the event, Toronto Mayor John Tory declared January 3 to be Johnny Bower Day in the city of Toronto.
Bower was the first goaltender to employ the poke check, an aggressive move whereby the goalie uses his stick to poke the puck away from an attacking player, sometimes leaving his crease to do so.
The area is known to have been populated since the paleolithic era due to the discovery of a cave settlement near the town of Postojna called Betal Rock Shelter ().
It was under Italian rule between 1918 and 1943 (nominally to 1947) and was part of the province of Trieste as Postumia.
Within the urban area of Postojna, the church dedicated to the Prophet Daniel in the hamlet of Zalog and the chapel dedicated to Saint Lazarus at the town cemetery also belong to this parish.
On April 26, 1944, all of the Jews of the town were deported to the Auschwitz extermination camp, from which none of them returned.
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Ladislaus and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Murska Sobota.
Landing craft are small and medium seagoing watercraft, such as boats and barges, used to convey a landing force (infantry and vehicles) from the sea to the shore during an amphibious assault.
Production of landing craft peaked during World War II, with a significant number of different designs produced in large quantities by the United Kingdom and United States.
Because of the need to run up onto a suitable beach, World War II landing craft were flat-bottomed, and many designs had a flat front, often with a lowerable ramp, rather than a normal bow.
The control point (too rudimentary to call a bridge on LCA and similar craft) was normally at the extreme rear of the vessel, as were the engines.
These rowing boats were sufficient, if inefficient, in an era when marines were effectively light infantry, participating mostly in small-scale campaigns in far-flung colonies against less well-equipped indigenous opponents.
They transported 1,200 men in the first landing and took on board 600 men in less than 2 hours for the second landing.
Initial landings during the Gallipoli campaign took place in unmodified rowing boats that were extremely vulnerable to attack from the Turkish shore defenses.
The first use took place after they had been towed to the Aegean and performed successfully in the 6 August landing at Suvla Bay of IX Corps, commanded by Commander Edward Unwin.
A plan was devised to land British heavy tanks from pontoons in support of the Third Battle of Ypres, but this was abandoned.
These, however, proved too small and unseaworthy for their intended Black sea theater — they were intended for the planned Marmara Sea landings.
These were typically very light at the bow, having all their machinery concentrated at the stern, which allowed easy beaching on any gently sloping coast, and often were equipped with a bow ramp for fast unloading.
With a 1.8 m loaded draft, and equipped with the ballast tanks and reinforced hull for safe beaching, they were able to land 1000 troops with their train at virtually any available beach.
While the landings for which they were created never happened, the ships themselves turned out quite useful and had a long career, supporting the Caucasus Campaign and later as minesweepers, gunboats and utility transports.
During the inter-war period, the combination of the negative experience at Gallipoli and economic stringency contributed to the delay in procuring equipment and adopting a universal doctrine for amphibious operations in the Royal Navy.
Despite this outlook, the British produced the Motor Landing Craft in 1920, based on their experience with the early 'Beetle' armoured transport.
To prevent fouling of the propellers in a craft destined to spend time in surf and possibly be beached, a crude waterjet propulsion system was devised by White's designers.
A Hotchkiss petrol engine drove a centrifugal pump which produced a jet of water, pushing the craft ahead or astern, and steering it, according to how the jet was directed.
The United States revived and experimented in their approach to amphibious warfare between 1913 and mid-1930s, when the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps became interested in setting up advanced bases in opposing countries during wartime; the prototype advanced base force officially evolved into the Fleet Marine Force (FMF) in 1933.
In 1939, during the annual Fleet Landing Exercises, the FMF became interested in the military potential of Andrew Higgins's design of a powered, shallow-draught boat.
Soon, the Higgins boats were developed to a final design with a ramp - the LCVP, and were produced in large numbers.
Its specifications were to weigh less than ten long tons, to be able to carry the thirty-one men of a British Army platoon and five assault engineers or signallers, and to be so shallow drafted as to be able to land them, wet only up to their knees, in eighteen inches of water.
All of these specifications made the Landing Craft Assault; a separate set of requirements were laid down for a vehicle and supplies carrier, although previously the two roles had been combined in the Motor Landing Craft.
All landing craft designs must find a compromise between two divergent priorities; the qualities that make a good sea boat are opposite to those that make a craft suitable for beaching.
The Landing Craft Assault remained the most common British and Commonwealth landing craft of World War II, and the humblest vessel admitted to the books of the Royal Navy on D-Day.
The Landing Craft Infantry was a stepped up amphibious assault ship, developed in response to a British request for a vessel capable of carrying and landing substantially more troops than the smaller Landing Craft Assault (LCA).
The result was a small steel ship that could land 200 troops, traveling from rear bases on its own bottom at a speed of up to .
This was changed shortly after initial use of these ships, when it was discovered that many missions would require overnight accommodations.
Following the Inter-Service Training and Development Centre ’s (ISTDC) successful development of the infantry carrying LCA, attention turned to the means of efficiently delivering a tank to a beach in 1938.
The army wanted to be able to land a 12-ton tank, but the ISTDC, anticipating weight increases in future tank models specified 16 tons burthen for Mechanised Landing Craft designs.
Constructed of steel and selectively clad with armour plate, this shallow-draft, barge-like boat with a crew of 6, could ferry a tank of 16 long tons to shore at 7 knots (13 km/h).
Depending on the weight of the tank to be transported the craft might be lowered into the water by its davits already loaded or could have the tank placed in it after being lowered into the water.
Although the Royal Navy had the Landing Craft Mechanised at its disposal, in 1940, Prime Minister Winston Churchill demanded an amphibious vessel capable of landing at least three 36-ton heavy tanks directly onto a beach, able to sustain itself at sea for at least a week, and inexpensive and easy to build.
Admiral Maund, Director of the Inter-Service Training and Development Centre (which had developed the Landing Craft Assault), gave the job to naval architect Sir Roland Baker, who within three days completed initial drawings for a landing craft with a beam and a shallow draft.
Ship builders Fairfields and John Brown agreed to work out details for the design under the guidance of the Admiralty Experimental Works at Haslar.
Tank tests with models soon determined the characteristics of the craft, indicating that it would make on engines delivering about .
The Mark 4 was slightly shorter and lighter than the Mk.3, but had a much wider beam () and was intended for cross channel operations as opposed to seagoing use.
When tested in early assault operations, like the ill-fated Allied raid on Dieppe in 1942, the lack of manoeuvring ability led to the preference for a shorter overall length in future variants, most of which were built in the United States.
When the United States entered the war in December 1941, the U.S. Navy had no amphibious vessels at all, and found itself obliged to consider British designs already in existence.
The Bureau of Ships quickly set about drawing up plans for landing craft based on Barnaby's suggestions, although with only one ramp.
The result, in early 1942, was the LCT Mark 5, a craft that could accommodate five 30-ton or four 40-ton tanks or 150 tons of cargo.
This 286-ton landing craft could be shipped to combat areas in three separate water-tight sections aboard a cargo ship or carried pre-assembled on the flat deck of a Landing Ship, Tank (LST).
The Mk.5 would be launched by heeling the LST on its beam to let the craft slide off its chocks into the sea, or cargo ships could lower each of the three sections into the sea where they were joined together.
A further development was the Landing Ship, Tank designation, built to support amphibious operations by carrying significant quantities of vehicles, cargo, and landing troops directly onto an unimproved shore.
The British evacuation from Dunkirk in 1940 demonstrated to the Admiralty that the Allies needed relatively large, ocean-going ships capable of shore-to-shore delivery of tanks and other vehicles in amphibious assaults upon the continent of Europe.
To carry 13 Churchill infantry tanks, 27 vehicles and nearly 200 men (in addition to the crew) at a speed of 18 knots, it could not have the shallow draught that would have made for easy unloading.
The LST(2) design incorporated elements of the first British LCTs from their designer, Sir Rowland Baker, who was part of the British delegation.
Congress provided the authority for the construction of LSTs along with a host of other auxiliaries, destroyer escorts, and assorted landing craft.
Such a high priority was assigned to the construction of LSTs that the previously laid keel of an aircraft carrier was hastily removed to make room for several LSTs to be built in her place.
The keel of the first LST was laid down on 10 June 1942 at Newport News, Va., and the first standardized LSTs were floated out of their building dock in October.
Lightly armored, they could steam cross the ocean with a full load on their own power, carrying infantry, tanks and supplies directly onto the beaches.
Together with 2,000 other landing craft, the LSTs gave the troops a protected, quick way to make combat landings, beginning in summer 1943.
Their main job was to find and follow the safe routes in to the beach, which were lanes that had been cleared of obstacles and mines.
The first LSD came from a design by Sir Roland Baker and was an answer to the problem of launching small craft rapidly.
The Landing Ship Gantry was a converted tanker with a crane to transfer its cargo of landing craft from deck to sea - 15 LCM in a little over half an hour.
Opening a stern door and flooding special compartments opened this area to the sea so that LCI-sized vessels could enter or leave.
It took one and a half hours for the dock to be flooded down and two and half to pump it out.
In addition, three British-built LSTs were named: , and ; these were all larger than the U.S. design and had proper funnels.
It was soon realized that battleships, cruisers and destroyers could not necessarily provide all the fire support (including suppressive fire) that an amphibious assault might need.
LCA crews were issued with .303 inch Lewis Guns, which were mounted in a light machine gun shelter on the forward-port side of the craft; these could be used both as anti-aircraft protection and against shore targets.
LCM 1 crews were issued with Lewis guns, and many LCM 3s had .50 in (12.7 mm) Browning machine guns mounted for anti-aircraft protection.
Some landing craft were converted for special purposes either to provide defence for the other landing craft in the attack or as support weapons during the landing.
They were towed to the beach by larger craft, such as the LCTs that carried the Royal Engineer assault teams with their specialist vehicles and equipment, who would complete the beach clearance.
The Landing Craft Flak (LCF) was a conversion of the LCT that was intended to give anti-aircraft support to the landing.
On British examples, the operation of the craft was the responsibility of RN crew and the guns were manned by Royal Marines.
Apart from the Oerlikon armament of a normal LCT, each LCG(Medium) had two British Army 25 pounder gun-howitzers in armoured mountings, while LCG(L)3 and LCG(L)4 both had two 4.7-inch naval guns ().
The crew then vanished below (apart from the commanding officer who retreated to a special cubby hole to control things) and the launch was then set off electrically.
A full reload was a very labor-intensive operation and at least one LCT(R) went alongside a cruiser and got a working party from the larger ship to assist in the process.
The crew was Royal Navy, with Royal Marines to operate the weapons: two 0.5 inch Vickers machine guns and a 4-inch mortar to fire smoke shells.
The Fairmile H Landing Craft Support (Large) had armour added to its wooden hull and a turret with an anti-tank gun fitted.
The American Landing Craft Support was larger, each was armed with a 3-inch gun (), various smaller guns, and ten MK7 rocket launchers.
After Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Army and Navy began intense planning for the transport of millions of men into combat and the training for amphibious operations.
By June 1942, Amphibious Force, Atlantic Fleet (AFAF) established headquarters at Norfolk (Virginia) under the command of Admiral Henry Kent Hewitt.
Temporary headquarters for a transport command were set up in an old American Export Line transport ship that had been built for the Army in World War I.
To man and support such landing craft, the Navy ordered that 30,000 men and 3,000 officers be trained in a matter of months, but initially the Landing Craft Group consisted only of Capt.
Clarke created hydrographic, maintenance, medical, and communications training programs, and a section to train Army shore parties how to unload landing craft.
He set up a training facility at Solomons Island, and held exercises on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay around the clock, day and night.
On 1 September 1942, the Amphibious Force and its Landing Craft Group rented the Nansemond Hotel, a popular resort hotel on Virginia Beach near Norfolk, to use as a headquarters building.
Despite all the progress that was seen during World War II, there were still fundamental limitations in the types of coastline that were suitable for assault.
The first use of helicopters in an amphibious assault came during the Anglo-French-Israeli invasion of Egypt in 1956 (the Suez War).
The US Navy built five landing platform helicopter vessels in the 1950s and 1960s, and various converted fleet and escort carriers for the purpose of providing a helicopter amphibious assault capability.
The first of the type envisaged was the escort carrier , which never actually saw service as an amphibious assault ship.
Mechanized utility and landing craft were the kind used during the second world war and, while the mechanized landing craft of today are similar in construction, many improvements have been made.
For example, landing craft (such as the LCM-8 of the US Navy) are capable of a military lift of at a speed of , carrying even heavy equipment, such as M1 Abrams tanks.
Like the mechanized landing craft, they are usually equipped with mounted machine guns, although they also support grenade launchers and heavy weapons.
Those fitted for vehicle carrying had a ramp fitted in place at the rear and they had to back onto beaches.
Like landing craft, flak barges carried A/A guns: two 40 mm Bofors and two 20 mm Oerlikon, with army gunners and naval crew.
With a crew of 20 plus, they could carry food for 800 for a week and provide 1,600 hot and 800 cold meals a day, including freshly baked bread.
Capability-based security refers to the principle of designing user programs such that they directly share capabilities with each other according to the principle of least privilege, and to the operating system infrastructure necessary to make such transactions efficient and secure.
Although most operating systems implement a facility which resembles capabilities, they typically do not provide enough support to allow for the exchange of capabilities among possibly mutually untrusting entities to be the primary means of granting and distributing access rights throughout the system.
A forgeable reference (for example, a path name) identifies an object, but does not specify which access rights are appropriate for that object and the user program which holds that reference.
Consequently, any attempt to access the referenced object must be validated by the operating system, based on the ambient authority of the requesting program, typically via the use of an access control list (ACL).
Instead, in a system with capabilities, the mere fact that a user program possesses that capability entitles it to use the referenced object in accordance with the rights that are specified by that capability.
In theory, a system with capabilities removes the need for any access control list or similar mechanism by giving all entities all and only the capabilities they will actually need.
A capability is typically implemented as a privileged data structure that consists of a section that specifies access rights, and a section that uniquely identifies the object to be accessed.
In practice, it is used much like a file descriptor in a traditional operating system (a traditional handle), but to access every object on the system.
Capabilities are typically stored by the operating system in a list, with some mechanism in place to prevent the program from directly modifying the contents of the capability (so as to forge access rights or change the object it points to).
Programs possessing capabilities can perform functions on them, such as passing them on to other programs, converting them to a less-privileged version, or deleting them.
The operating system must ensure that only specific operations can occur to the capabilities in the system, in order to maintain the integrity of the security policy.
A capability is defined to be a protected object reference which, by virtue of its possession by a user process, grants that process the capability (hence the name) to interact with an object in certain ways.
Those ways might include reading data associated with an object, modifying the object, executing the data in the object as a process, and other conceivable access rights.
The capability logically consists of a reference that uniquely identifies a particular object and a set of one or more of these rights.
Although this identifies a unique object on the system, it does not specify access rights and hence is not a capability.
Its existence in the process's file descriptor table is sufficient to know that the process does indeed have legitimate access to the object.
A key feature of this arrangement is that the file descriptor table is in kernel memory and cannot be directly manipulated by the user program.
In traditional operating systems, programs often communicate with each other and with storage using references like those in the first two examples.
In a capability-based system, the capabilities themselves are passed between processes and storage using a mechanism that is known by the operating system to maintain the integrity of those capabilities.
In such a system, there is no need for entities to be discarded and their capabilities be invalidated, and hence require an ACL-like mechanism to restore those capabilities at a later time.
The operating system maintains the integrity and security of the capabilities contained within all storage, both volatile and nonvolatile, at all times; in part by performing all serialization tasks by itself, rather than requiring user programs to do so, as is the case in most operating systems.
Because user programs are relieved of this responsibility, there is no need to trust them to reproduce only legal capabilities, nor to validate requests for access using an access control mechanism.
However, POSIX capabilities differ from capabilities in this article—POSIX capability is not associated with any object; a process having CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability can listen on any TCP port under 1024.
Capsicum capabilities are a refined form of file descriptor, a delegable right between processes and additional object types beyond classic POSIX, such as processes, can be referenced via capabilities.
In Capsicum capability mode, processes are unable to utilize global namespaces (such as the filesystem namespace) to look up objects, and must instead inherit or be delegated them.
Josip Hrvoje Peruzović (October 14, 1947 – July 29, 2018), better known by his ring name of Nikolai Volkoff, was a Croatian-American professional wrestler who was best known for his performances in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF).
In the 1970s, he was Bepo of the Mongols tag team, one of the masked Executioners and feuded with Bruno Sammartino over the WWWF World Heavyweight Championship as Volkoff.
In the 1980s, he was known for teaming with The Iron Sheik, with whom he won the WWF Tag Team Championship at the inaugural WrestleMania event, and later with Boris Zhukov as The Bolsheviks.
In 1994, after a hiatus, he returned as a destitute and desperate character, exploited by Ted DiBiase as the first member of his Million Dollar Corporation.
Despite what he sometimes claimed his actual middle name was not Nikolai but Hrvoje, and his mother's maiden name was not Volkoff but Tomašević.
He was on the Yugoslavian weightlifting team until 1967, when he emigrated to Canada after a weightlifting tournament in Vienna, Austria.
While trying his luck as a wrestler in Calgary, Alberta in 1967, he met the wrestler Newton Tattrie, who was wrestling for Stu Hart's Stampede Wrestling.
During his 1963-1968 tour, Tattrie took Peruzovic under his wing as a protégé and trained the non-English speaking, 315 pound man to become a professional wrestler and tag team partner.
When Tattrie left the territory in 1968 for the US, Peruzovic left with him, working in various territories for The National Wrestling Alliance including NWA Detroit, the International Wrestling Association and the National Wrestling Federation where they won tag gold.
In 1974, Volkoff returned to the company and appeared in a memorable match at a sold out Madison Square Garden and wrestled one of the sport's most famous champions, Bruno Sammartino.
In 1976, he was masked as an Executioner as he became the third member along with Killer Kowalski and Big John Studd.
During this tenure, he began crushing fresh apples with one hand as a sign of what he would do to his opponents.
The new team of Volkoff and the Iron Sheik captured the WWF Tag Team Championship from The U.S. Express (Mike Rotundo and Barry Windham) at the first WrestleMania, on March 31, 1985, after the Sheik had knocked out Windham with Fred Blassie's cane.
Their feud ended when Kirchner used Blassie's cane to defeat Volkoff at WrestleMania 2 in another flag match during the Chicago portion of the event.
In late 1987, Volkoff was teamed with Boris Zhukov, another alleged Russian (actually an American wrestler whose real name was James Harrell), to form The Bolsheviks.
As they lost the public eye due to many losses, they eventually lost their manager Slick and were used as a comic relief team losing many matches to The Bushwhackers.
The Bolsheviks never held any titles together, and are perhaps best remembered for being defeated in 19 seconds by The Hart Foundation at WrestleMania VI.
Slaughter who had an Iraqi sympathizer role and teamed with the former Iron Sheik, who had recently begun an Iraqi gimmick under the name Colonel Mustafa.
After Volkoff's team defeated Slaughter's team at the 1990 Survivor Series (Tito Santana was the sole survivor), Volkoff left the WWF at the end of 1990.
He made a brief return to compete in the 1992 Royal Rumble match, as well as to face Hercules in a house show match on January 29 in Lowell, Massachusetts.
On August 8, 1992 he went to Puerto Rico to wrestled for World Wrestling Council WCC 19th Anniversario 1992 losing to The Patriot.
On April 4, 1993 he wrestled his former partner The Iron Sheik to a double count out at Wrestling in the USA event in Livingston, New Jersey.
On February 1, 1994, Volkoff began a full-time return to the WWF, making a ringside appearance at a Superstars taping in White Plains, New York during a match between Diesel and Mike Moraldo.
For the next two months, Volkoff was shown in the crowd, until eventually he became a sympathetic heel by playing the whipping-boy of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Corporation.
Volkoff had kayfabe fallen on hard times and was forced to take a job working for DiBiase and his new Corporation.
The final WWF match for Volkoff was on December 30, 1994 when he defeated jobber Bob Starr in a house show.
He also appeared at WrestleMania X-Seven at the Astrodome in Houston in the gimmick battle royal which was won by The Iron Sheik.
On February 3, 2005, Volkoff was announced as one of the WWE Hall of Fame inductees for the class of 2005.
Volkoff sang the Soviet Union national anthem, receiving boos from the crowd (despite being a babyface) and was insulted by judge William Regal, although judges Mick Foley and Maria both praised the performance.
In response, Sheik, who was also insulted, went on a tirade until both he and Volkoff were escorted out of the building by security.
The Iron Sheik appeared along with Nikolai Volkoff to face off against the U.S. Express in a rematch from the first WrestleMania.
In October 2013, he sang the Soviet national anthem at a show in New Jersey, after being introduced by Howard Finkel.
While the book is not wrestling related, the author Jason Strecker was a personal friend of Volkoff's and in the foreword Volkoff responds to his friendship with the author along with the book's message of being of strong character and doing positive actions for others.
On February 28, 2015, Volkoff appeared for the Superstars of Wrestling promotion in Bayville, New Jersey, where he teamed with ECW legend The Sandman to take on independent standouts Kentucky Bred – in a 3 on 2 handicap tag match.
On March 5, 2016, Volkoff showed up at Night of Legends at Billtown Wrestling in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, sang the American national anthem and teamed with Cash Money, who turned on him to give the win to Koko B. Ware and Jim Neidhart.
On June 25, 2016 he wrestled his last match in Canada where he defeated the Messiah for Great North Wrestling in Pembroke, Ontario.
On June 9, 2017, Volkoff wrestled for H20 Wrestling: 1 Year Anniversary in Willamstown, New Jersey as he defeated DJ Hyde.
On May 5, 2018, at the age of 70, Volkoff wrestled his final match, teaming with Jim Duggan to defeated the team of Mecha Mercenary and Nicky Benz for Battleground Championship Wrestling in Feasterville, Pennsylvania.
In a 2009 shoot interview released by Pro Wrestling Diary on DVD, Peruzović discusses in-depth his history with Freddie Blassie as well as helping Blassie re-connect with his daughter.
Peruzović died at home on July 29, 2018, at the age of 70, days after being released from a hospital in Maryland where he had been treated for dehydration and other medical issues.
Peruzović ran unsuccessfully in the 2006 Maryland Republican Primary for State Delegate in District 7 (representing parts of Baltimore & Harford County) in Maryland.
It has five schools, four churches, a variety of small shops, a large supermarket, and a range of commercial and light industrial businesses.
Roman soldiers had a settlement and fort nearby at Templeborough, although no evidence of Roman remains have been unearthed in Handsworth.
Before the Conquest, Torchil (or Turchil) is reported as being the Lord of the Manor, but following the Conquest lordship was transferred to Robert, Count of Mortain, who was the half-brother of William the Conqueror.
In a survey in 1379 there were reported to be nine smiths and perhaps one cutler in Sheffield, but by that time, Handsworth had 13 smiths and three cutlers.
Clearly, the ancient parish of Handsworth had its own identity and history, almost as extensive as that of the city into which it became absorbed.
It was founded by the Norman lord William de Lovetot, or his father Richard, and the foundations were planned by William Paynel.
Close to St Mary's Church is the Cross Keys Inn, a very old building that has not always been a public house.
It was originally built in the mid 13th century as a Church House for the chaplains and lay clerks attached to St Mary's.
Handsworth's parish registers, recording all baptisms, marriages and burials which took place in the parish of St Mary's, date back to 1558, the year that Queen Elizabeth I ascended the throne.
The origins of this ancient ritual are unknown, but written records held by the team go back to the middle of the nineteenth century.
Using long steel swords, a team of eight men perform a dance which lasts about nine minutes and ends with all the swords being interlocked and held aloft by one man.
It survived through the Second World War because the sword dancers had priority occupations in the coal mines and in the steel works, so they were not conscripted.
The traditional dancing on Boxing Day in Handsworth and Woodhouse was revived in 1963, and in 1976 the clowns were reintroduced, though they later lapsed.
The historic sight of Handsworth sword dancing can still be seen on Boxing Day (or the day after if it falls on a Sunday).
The Stayce family had lived at Ballifield Hall in Handsworth for centuries but it was in Trenton, New Jersey, in America, that Mahlon made his name and his fortune.
During the Interregnum, Quakers were treated with suspicion and hostility, and persecution continued following the restoration of Charles II, as they still refused to conform, even outwardly, to the Church of England.
Some members of the Stayce family are buried in a private Quaker graveyard at Cinder Hill, now in the back garden of a house.
Huntsman made a highly significant scientific discovery which enabled Sheffield to develop from small township into one of the leading northern industrial cities that shaped the destiny of Victorian Britain.
This required an extremely high temperature of 1,600 degrees Celsius, something which had never been achieved before in the steel industry.
To contain the steel he designed a clay crucible which could withstand the severe temperature and possible attack of the metal.
It seems probable that Huntsman moved to Handsworth because he was aware of the nearby glassworks in Catcliffe where vessels were used in which the materials were melted at very high temperatures.
Huntsman found that he could benefit in Handsworth not only from the experience of the glass makers but also from the ready access to refractory materials and fireclays in the Sheffield district.
Eventually, this competition from overseas encouraged the Sheffield cutlers to adopt Huntsman's methods, thereby laying the foundations of Sheffield's industrial heritage.
In 1740, Sheffield produced only 200 tons of steel per year; by 1860, this total had risen, because of the application of Huntsman's techniques, to over 80,000 tons per year—almost half of Europe's total tonnage.
His baptism is recorded in the parish registers; and, although he died in Ireland, he is buried in a family vault in Handsworth.
But they settled in the Handsworth parish, and there are over 60 entries in the parish registers for members of the Jeffcock family between 1636 and 1768.
John Jeffcock, father of William, established the family name as coal masters by becoming colliery engineer at Dore House Colliery in Handsworth.
He was keen to play an active role in the civic affairs and so became a candidate for Attercliffe ward in the town's first municipal elections on 1 November 1843.
Meeting for the first time on 9 November 1843, the new town council unanimously chose William Jeffcock to be the first mayor.
He was also nominated as a Justice of the Peace for the West Riding of Yorkshire in 1846 and he held a Commission in the West Yorkshire Yeomanry Cavalry for some time.
John Jeffcock was the first to live there, but it was his son William who built a new mansion on the site in 1850.
There are other memorials to members of the Jeffcock family in St Mary's Church, and there is a (disused) fountain and water trough bearing inscriptions to the family on a curve of Handsworth Road.
William Jeffcock was succeeded as Sheffield's Mayor in 1844 by his first cousin, Thomas Dunn, who was also a Handsworth resident.
His intellect and popularity made many national Liberals, as well as local ones, seek to persuade him to stand for parliament.
It was with this name that the village was first mentioned in a document, in 1011, when King Rudolf III presented the church and the village to the Romainmôtier Monastery as a gift.
After the collapse of the Ancien régime, the village became a part of the canton of Léman, from 1798 to 1803.
The scattered villages of Apples span a knoll on the edge of a plateau, located at the foot of the Jura Mountains.
In the western section of the municipality, which is larger by far, there is a glacial landscape of molasse hills with extensive woods and moor-like depressions.
The municipality was part of the Aubonne District until it was dissolved on 31 August 2006, and Apples became part of the new district of Morges.

During the school year, the political district provided pre-school care for a total of 631 children of which 203 children (32.2%) received subsidized pre-school care.
As offers increased for her to participate in heterosexual scenes, she began working onscreen with Derrick Lane (whom she married in 1994).
She signed an exclusive contract with Vivid Video; eventually tiring of constantly working with Lane, she insisted on working with other men.
In fact, her exclusive on-screen commitment to Lane has been credited as the main reason to her waning popularity in adult films.
Castelldefels () is a municipality in the Baix Llobregat comarca, in the province of Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain, and part of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona.
It is located about southwest of Barcelona, just to the north of the massís del Garraf and is the last town on the coast before the comarca of Garraf.
The Olympic canal, called Canal Olímpic de Catalunya, built for the 1992 Summer Olympic Games of Barcelona is in the town.

On 23 June 2010, 12 young people were killed, and 14 injured, when they were hit by an express train as they crossed the tracks in the railway station at Platja de Castelldefels, while on their way to a summer solstice bonfire party on the beach.
Aubonne was the most important town on the north side of the lake between Lausanne and Geneva until the second half of the 15th century.
When the canton of Vaud was conquered by Bern in 1536, Aubonne came under Bernese domination, but still belonged to the Count of Greyerz until 1553.
In 1670, the city was bought by the Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, and in 1685 by Henri Duquesne, who sold it to Bern again in 1701.
From 1798 to 1803 it belonged to the canton of Léman in the Helvetic Republic, which, through the mediation of Napoleon became the canton of Vaud.

It revolves around the Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge in Višegrad, which spans the Drina River and stands as a silent witness to history from its construction by the Ottomans in the mid-16th century until its partial destruction during World War I.
The story spans about four centuries and covers the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian occupations of the region, with a particular emphasis on the lives, destinies and relations of the local inhabitants, especially Serbs and Bosnian Muslims.
Andrić had been Yugoslavia's ambassador to Germany from 1939 to 1941, during the early years of World War II, and was arrested by the Germans in April 1941, following the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia.
In June 1941, he was allowed to return to German-occupied Belgrade but was confined to a friend's apartment in conditions that some biographers liken to house arrest.
The Serbian filmmaker Emir Kusturica is planning a cinematic adaption of the novel, for which he has constructed a mock-town named after Andrić not far from the bridge, which was reconstructed after World War I and has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The boy's mother follows her son wailing until she reaches the Drina River, where he is taken across by ferry and she can no longer follow.
He rises through the Ottoman military ranks and around the age of 60 becomes the Grand Vizier, a position he holds for the next fifteen years.
He remains haunted by the memory of being forcibly taken from his mother and orders the construction of a bridge at the part of the river where the two became separated.
The bridge replaces the unreliable ferry transport that was once the only means of traversing the river and comes to represent an important link between the Bosnia Eyalet and the rest of the Ottoman Empire.
The bridge is built by serfs, who intermittently stage strikes and sabotage the construction site in protest against the poor working conditions.
Every important moment in the lives of the local residents comes to revolve around the bridge, with Christian children crossing it to be baptized on the opposite bank, and children of all religions playing around it.
They come to regard two holes on the side of the bridge as places where the infants' mothers would come to suckle them while they were entombed.
About a century later, the Habsburg Monarchy reclaims much of Central Europe and the northern Balkans from the Ottomans, triggering a crisis within the empire.
The first nationalist tensions arise in the 19th century, with the outbreak of the First Serbian Uprising in present-day central Serbia.
The Turks construct a blockhouse on the bridge, decorating it with stakes on which they pin the heads of suspected rebels.
The occupation comes as a shock to the residents of the town, which has remained largely unchanged since the time of the bridge's completion, and the local people experience difficulties accepting the numerous changes and reforms that accompany Austro-Hungarian rule.
They bring home new social and cultural ideas from abroad, among them the concepts of trade unions and socialism, while newly established newspapers acquaint the town's inhabitants with nationalism.
In 1908, Austria-Hungary formally annexes Bosnia-Herzegovina, sparking tensions with Serbia, which the Austro-Hungarians come to regard as a serious obstacle to their further conquest of the Balkans.
The Balkan Wars of 1912–1913 see the Ottomans almost completely forced from the region, and relations between Austria-Hungary and Serbia deteriorate further.
The significance of the middle portion of the bridge also becomes undermined, as residents of different ethnicities become suspicious and wary of one another.
In June 1914, Bosnian Serb student Gavrilo Princip assassinates Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, setting off a chain of events that lead to the outbreak of World War I. Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia, and the local authorities begin to incite Višegrad's non-Serb population against the town's Serb residents.
The bridge with the old road to Sarajevo suddenly regains its importance, as the railway line is not adequate to transport all the materiel and soldiers who are preparing to attack Serbia in the autumn of 1914.
Austria-Hungary's invasion is swiftly repulsed and the Serbians advance across the Drina, prompting the Austro-Hungarians to evacuate Višegrad and destroy portions of the bridge.
Ivo Andrić was Yugoslavia's best known and most successful literary figure, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1961.
He was born to Antun Andrić and Katarina Pejić near Travnik on 9 October 1892, but spent most of his childhood in the town of Višegrad.
Despite this, he remained in contact with his Christian family, and in 1557, convinced the Porte to grant the Serbian Orthodox Church autonomy.
Andrić's literary career began in 1911, and prior to the outbreak of World War I, he published a number of poems, essays and reviews, and also translated the works of foreign writers.
In the years leading up to the war, he joined a number of South Slav student movements calling for an end to the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He spent much of World War I in captivity, and was only freed in July 1917, after Emperor Charles declared a general amnesty for political prisoners.
In 1939, he was appointed as Yugoslavia's ambassador to Germany, which went on to spearhead an invasion of his country in April 1941, within the wider context of World War II.
Andrić and his staff were arrested by the Germans following the invasion's commencement, and in June 1941, he was permitted to return to Belgrade.
Andrić was retired from the diplomatic service and confined to a friend's apartment by the Germans, living in conditions that some biographers have likened to house arrest.
Over the following three years, he focused on his writing and pondered over the disintegration of Yugoslavia, which had become the scene of a brutal inter-ethnic civil war following the invasion.
Andrić's works attained international recognition only after he was awarded the Nobel Prize, and were translated into dozens of languages thereafter.
Andrić never publicly expressed sympathy for communism and his works openly dealt with controversial questions of national identity at a time when the communists were propagating the idea of Brotherhood and Unity among the various Yugoslav peoples.
The characters use the Ijekavian dialect of Serbo-Croatian primarily spoken west of the Drina, while the narrator uses the Ekavian dialect spoken primarily in Serbia.
This is a reflection of Andrić's own linguistic proclivities, as he had abandoned both written and spoken Ijekavian and reverted to Ekavian upon moving to Belgrade in the early 1920s.
Both dialogue and narration passages are perfused with Turkisms (), words of Turkish, Arabic or Persian origin that had found their way into the South Slavic languages under Ottoman rule.
Also present are many words of German and Ladino origin, reflecting the historical and political circumstances of the time period described in the novel.
The book deviates from other texts that have been described as chronicles in that the narrator observes events itinerantly and retrospectively.
Literary scholar Guido Snel believes that such a stylistic interpretation neglects the novel's dialogic properties and its ability to act as a back-and-forth between the narrator and reader, drawing a connection between the past described in the novel and the reader's present.
However, at the time of writing, the country did not enjoy the reputation of an inter-civilizational mediator, which was fostered by Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito only after his split with Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in 1948.
Andrić suggests that the building of roads and bridges by Great Powers is rarely done as a gesture of friendship towards local populations, but rather as a means of facilitating conquest.
Sells interprets the legend as an allegory for the entrapment of Slav converts to Islam within the structures of an alien religion.
Ani Kokobobo, a professor of Slavic studies, believes violence is a theme that offers conceptual cohesion to the novel's otherwise fragmented narrative.
The most notable depiction of it is the impalement of Radisav of Unište, who attempts to sabotage the construction of the bridge.
Several scholars interpret Radisav's impalement as an allegory for the state of Bosnia itself—subjected, vulnerable and fragmented between Christianity and Islam.
On the one hand, it marks the end of traditional Ottoman life in the town and signals the unstoppable oncome of modernity, while on the other, it foreshadows the death and destruction that await Bosnia and Herzegovina in the future.
From its publication in 1945 until the dissolution of Yugoslavia in 1991–92, the novel was required reading in Yugoslav secondary schools.
In his introduction to Andrić's acceptance speech, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences member Göran Liljestrand took note of the symbolic significance of the bridge and described Andrić as a unifying force.
In subsequent decades, large sections of the Croatian and Bosnian Muslim (Bosniak) literary establishments distanced themselves from Andrić's body of work due to his strong ties with Serbian culture.
In 1992, at the outset of the Bosnian War, a Bosnian Muslim destroyed a bust of Andrić in Višegrad using a sledgehammer.
Later that year, more than 200 Bosniak civilians were killed on the bridge by Bosnian Serb militias and their bodies tossed into the Drina.
By 1993, owing to the war and consequent ethnic cleansing, the multi-ethnic Bosnia described in the novel had largely been consigned to history.
The town of Višegrad and its historic sites were popularized throughout Yugoslavia as a result of the novel, to which the Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge owes its renown.
In 2019, Pope Francis quoted a passage from the novel at a press conference in Rabat, Morocco while arguing for amity and concord between nations.
GAL operated mainly in the portion of the Basque country on the French side of the Spanish-French border, but kidnappings and tortures were also performed at various places in Spain.
The victims (at least 27 dead and 26 injured) were either members of ETA or Basque nationalist activists, but some victims were not known to have links to ETA or political violence at all.
Its main purpose was to attack ETA members and Basque nationalist targets and wreak random havoc in French territory in order to put pressure on the French government.
Aside from the obvious nationalist rationale for its opposition to Basque separatism, the GAL did not explicitly self-ascribe a place within the left–right spectrum and many of the killers were foreign mercenaries.
However, many of these mercenaries were recruited from the European far-right (including the OAS) and many of the Spanish perpetrators and organisers were active or former Francoist civil servants.
GAL attacks showed from the beginning a close connection to high-ranking government and a number of police officials in the Basque Country.
When the whole operation came to an end, in addition to GAL operatives, a few Spanish policemen and government officials were also convicted.
For instance, the Interior Minister, José Barrionuevo, and his associate Rafael Vera, were convicted of the kidnapping of Segundo Marey, and General Galindo and the civil governor of Gipuzkoa, Julen Elgorriaga, were found guilty of the murder of Joxe Antonio Lasa and Joxe Ignacio Zabala in October 1983 .
Prosecutors proved that the policemen who recruited mercenaries and the government officials who organized the dirty war's operations also embezzled large amounts of public money.
The GAL was one of the main issues of the campaign during the elections of 1996 in which the PSOE was defeated by José María Aznar's People's Party (PP) for the first time.
González himself has never been charged with a GAL-related offence, but he has called publicly for pardons for his former subordinates.
After 1987, when the GAL disbanded, the French government adopted a harsher attitude towards Basque refugees, by denying political refugee status to new applicants, and facilitating extraditions requested by Spanish judges.
The Epic of Manas (, ماناس دستانی, , , ) is a traditional epic poem dating to the 18th century but claimed by the Kyrgyz people to be much older.
The plot of Manas revolves around a series of events that coincide with the history of the region in the 17th century, primarily the interaction of the Turkic-speaking people from the mountains to the south of the Dasht-i Qipchaq and the Oirat Mongols from the bordering area of Jungaria.
The eponymous hero of Manas and his Oirat enemy Joloy were first found written in a Persian manuscript dated to 1792-3.
His prayers are eventually answered, and on the day of his son's birth, he dedicates a colt, Toruchaar, born the same day to his son's service.
They fail in this task, and Manas is able to rally his people and is eventually elected and proclaimed as khan.
Manas turns eventually to face the Afghan people to the south in battle, where after defeat the Afghans enter into an alliance with Manas.
Manas then comes into a relationship with the people of mā warā' an-nār through marriage to the daughter of the ruler of Bukhara.
Changes were made in the delivery and textual representation of Manas in the 1920s and 1930s to represent the creation of the Kyrgyz nationality, particularly the replacement of the tribal background of Manas.
In the 19th century versions, Manas is the leader of the Nogay people, while in versions dating after 1920, Manas is a Kyrgyz and a leader of the Kyrgyz.
Attempts have been made to connect modern Kyrgyz with the Yenisei Kirghiz, today claimed by Kyrgyzstan to be the ancestors of modern Kyrgyz.
Kazakh ethnographer and historian Shokan Shinghisuly Walikhanuli was unable to find evidence of folk-memory during his extended research in 19th-century Kyrgyzstan (then part of the expanding Russian empire) nor has any been found since.
While Kyrgyz historians consider it to be the longest epic poem in history, the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata and the Tibetan Epic of King Gesar are both longer.
Narrators who know all three episodes of the epic (the tales of Manas, of his son Semetei and of his grandson Seitek) can acquire the status of Great Manaschi.
Great Manaschis of the 20th century are Sagymbai Orozbakov, Sayakbay Karalaev, Shaabai Azizov (pictured), Kaba Atabekov, Seidene Moldokova and Yusup Mamai.
Contemporary Manaschis include Rysbek Jumabayev, who has performed at the British Library, Urkash Mambetaliev, the Manaschi of the Bishkek Philharmonic (also travels through Europe), and Talantaaly Bakchiyev, who combines recitation with critical study.
An English translation of the version of Sagimbai Orozbakov by Walter May was published in 1995, in commemoration of the presumed 1000th anniversary of Manas' birth, and re-issued in two volumes in 2004.
Arthur Thomas Hatto has made English translations of the Manas tales recorded by Shokan Valikhanov and Vasily Radlov in the 19th century.
A mausoleum some 40 km east of the town of Talas is believed to house his remains and is a popular destination for Kyrgyz travellers.
Legend has it that Kanikey, Manas' widow, ordered this inscription in an effort to confuse her husband's enemies and prevent a defiling of his grave.
Politician and government official Kasym Tynystanov tried to get the poem published in 1925, but this was prevented by the growing influence of Stalinism.
The first extract of the poem to be published in the USSR appeared in Moscow in 1946, and efforts to nominate the poem for the Stalin Prize in 1946 were unsuccessful.
Chinghiz Aitmatov, in the 1980s, picked up the cause for the poem again, and in 1985 finally a statue for the hero was erected.
Liberty, formerly called the National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL), is an advocacy group and membership organisation based in the United Kingdom, which campaigns to challenge injustice, protect civil liberties and promote human rights – through the courts, in Parliament and in the wider community.
Under the proposed Incitement to Disaffection Bill, commonly known as the 'Sedition Bill', it would have been a criminal offence to possess pacifist literature, for example anti-war pamphlets.
When Oswald Mosley was released from prison in 1943 (he had been imprisoned without trial under Defence Regulation 18B), the National Council for Civil Liberties oddly demanded his continued imprisonment.
Since 2016, Liberty's work has been dominated by taking a High Court challenge to the Investigatory Powers Act, and campaigning against the so-called 'hostile environment' policies and for an end to the use of indefinite immigration detention in the UK.
During the 1940s, the NCCL led protests against a BBC ban on artists who attended a 'People's Convention' organised by the Communist Party.
In the years following the Second World War, the NCCL campaigned for better civil liberties protections for members of the Armed Forces, including for better education and vocational training, a fairer military justice system and freedom of voluntary association.
At this time NCCL was also involved in several miscarriage of justice cases, including that of Emery, Powers and Thompson, who were sentenced to between four and ten years imprisonment for assaulting a police officer, even though someone else confessed to the crime and the prosecution evidence was flawed.
During the 1950s NCCL campaigned for reform of the mental health system, under which people known to be sane but deemed 'morally defective' – unmarried mothers, for example – could be locked up in an asylum.
By 1957, the campaign had seen the release of around 2,000 former inmates, the abolition of the Mental Health Act 1913 and the establishment of new Mental Health Review Tribunals and the Mental Health Act 1959.
It campaigned on racial issues, on behalf of gypsies, children, prisoners and servicemen who had changed their decision about joining the forces.
After 1960, NCCL responded to the tightening of immigration laws and a rise in race-hate incidents by lobbying for the Race Relations Act, which came into force in 1965.
NCCL also published pamphlets exposing the effective 'colour bar', whereby black and Asian people were refused service in certain pubs and hotels.
Campaigning for women's rights was also a major part of NCCL's work in this period, including successfully calling for reform of jury service laws that effectively prevented women and the poor from serving on juries by means of a property qualification.
NCCL intervened on behalf of groups refused permission to protest and monitoring the policing of demonstrations such as those against the Vietnam War.
NCCL also campaigned to raise awareness of the difficulty faced by 'reluctant servicemen' – men in the armed forces who had often signed-up as teenagers then realised they'd made a mistake but were prevented from discharging themselves for anything up to 16 years.
The files were destroyed and the major privacy protection 'Right to Know' campaign to give individuals greater control over their personal information was launched in 1977.
A number of other future high-profile Labour politicians worked at the organisation at this time, such as Harriet Harman, who worked as the legal officer from 1978–82, Jack Dromey, later her husband, was a member (1970–79) and chairman of the Executive Committee, and Diane Abbott was employed as Race Relations Officer (1978–80).
The European Court of Human Rights ruled that MI5 surveillance of Harriet Harman and Patricia Hewitt during the pair's tenure at Liberty breached the European Convention on Human Rights.
During the Gulf War, Liberty successfully campaigned for the release of over 100 Iraqi nationals – some of whom were openly opposed to Saddam Hussein – detained without charge in Britain on the grounds that they posed a risk to national security.
High-profile cases included that of the Birmingham Six, who were released after 16 years in prison for IRA bombings they did not commit.
At the start of the 2000s, Liberty used the protections in the new Human Rights Act 1998 to fight a number of landmark cases, including supporting terminally-ill Diane Pretty's fight to die with dignity and Christine Goodwin's fight for transgender rights.
In 2004, Liberty acted for the translator and whistleblower Katharine Gun who claimed that the American National Security Agency had requested the British Government's help in illegal surveillance on the UN.
During 2007 and 2008 Liberty led the opposition to government plans to extend detention without charge for those suspected of terrorism to 42 days.
Chakrabarti and Liberty claimed a major campaign victory when the government dropped the proposal after it was rejected by the House of Lords in October 2008.
In April 2009, Liberty protested against a poster campaign by Greater Manchester Police which depicted a series of notorious Manchester gangsters, the Gooch Gang, as pensioners.
Liberty supported claims that the posters should be removed following complaints from family members of the gangsters, not involved with their relative's criminality, who claimed they were being targeted in the community after the posters were erected.
In response to the vast security systems which were put in place ahead of the London 2012 Olympic Games, Liberty raised concerns with regards to the infringements to civil liberties which would subsequently occur.
Liberty argued that neither peaceful protest nor the right to free speech were a factor in ensuring the safety of the Games.
A campaign presence and attendance by Shami Chakrabarti at the Liberal Democrats Conference in September 2012 in Brighton successfully led to the passing of a motion by Jo Shaw, Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Spokesperson for Holborn and St Pancras, against the Bill.
A prominent campaign by Liberty was in relation to fairer extradition laws and the opposition of unfair extradition proceedings, the most prominent case being that of Gary McKinnon who gained world wide press attention.
16 October 2012 saw a victory for Gary McKinnon, after a decade-long ordeal, as the Home Secretary, Theresa May, announced that she was refusing to allow Gary's extradition to the US on the basis that doing so would breach his Human Rights.
Gary McKinnon was charged in 2002 of hacking into US military and NASA systems, but maintains that he was looking for UFOs and evidence of free energy suppression.
Gary, who has Asperger syndrome, could have spent up to 70 years in a US jail if convicted and it was argued by his lawyers in an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) that because of this factor and because the crime was committed in the UK that he should be tried in the UK.
Liberty intervened in the case of gay couple Michael Black and John Morgan who were turned away from a bed and breakfast because of the owner's religious views.
On 18 October 2012 it was ruled that the B&B owner was in breach of equality legislation by unlawfully discriminating against the couple on the basis of their sexual orientation.
The Conservative Party – which had won a majority – had included a pledge in its manifesto to repeal the Act.
In May 2016, Liberty, Amnesty International UK and the British Institute of Human Rights published a statement opposing repeal of the Act, backed by more than 130 organisations including UK Families Flight 103, Friends of the Earth, Refuge, Quakers in Britain, Stonewall, the Terrence Higgins Trust, the Down's Syndrome Association and the Football Supporters' Federation.
In July 2015, Liberty coordinated an intervention from a number of former Anti-Apartheid campaigners including Archbishop Njongonkulu Ndungane and Denis Goldberg.
Liberty represents the families of three of four young soldiers who died of gunshot wounds at Deepcut army barracks between 1995 and 2002 – Cheryl James, Sean Benton and James Collinson.
Liberty used the Human Rights Act to compel Surrey Police to disclose evidence about the deaths to the families, which they were then able to use to apply for fresh inquests.
On 3 June 2016, Coroner Brian Barker QC recorded a verdict of suicide, delivering a narrative verdict that strongly condemned the culture at Deepcut.
On 18 July 2018, Coroner Peter Rook QC also recorded a verdict of suicide and again strongly criticised failings at Deepcut and in the Surrey Police investigation.
Following the verdict, Liberty and Sean's family called for all serious crimes within the Armed Forces to be investigated by the civilian police, rather than the Royal Military Police.
Liberty represented the family of Corporal Anne-Marie Ellement, a Royal Military Police Office who took her own life in 2011 after alleging that she had been raped by two colleagues.
An initial inquest in March 2012 recorded a verdict of suicide, but Anne-Marie's family, represented by Liberty, used the Human Rights Act to secure a second, more thorough inquest.
In 2013, Anne-Marie's family, represented by Liberty, also used the threat of legal action under the Human Rights Act to compel the Ministry of Defence and Royal Military Police to agree to refer the Anne-Marie's rape allegations for a fresh, independent investigation.
In November 2017, the Ministry of Defence announced it would stop Commanding Officers investigation allegations of sexual assault themselves – a call Liberty had made from Corporal Ellement's 2014 inquest.
Shortly after the revelations, Liberty brought a legal challenge to the UK government's practices with a coalition of other organisations, including Amnesty International, Privacy International and ACLU.
In September 2018, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that GCHQ's bulk interception practices had violated privacy rights and failed to provide sufficient safeguards.
In 2014, Liberty represented MPs David Davis and Tom Watson in a legal challenge to the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act (DRIPA), claiming that it breached privacy rights.
The case was referred to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) by the Court of Appeal, and in December 2016 the ECJ ruled that the general and indiscriminate retention of emails and electronic communications by governments was illegal.
Throughout 2016, Liberty campaigned against what it believed to be a serious lack of privacy safeguards in the Investigatory Powers Bill.
In January 2017, Liberty launched a crowdfunder to raise funds to challenge the Act in the High Court, raising more than more than £53,000 in a week.
In April 2018, the High Court issued its ruling on the first part of the challenge, giving the government six months to rewrite core parts of the Act, which it found incompatible with EU law.
Liberty represented John Walker in a legal challenge to a loophole in the Equality Act which let employers exempt same-sex spouses from spousal pension benefits.
In August 2017, Liberty exposed that the Home Office had secretly gained access to nationality data on homeless people in London.
In June 2018, Liberty announced it would be representing Cardiff resident Ed Bridges in a legal challenge to South Wales Police's use of facial recognition technology in public spaces.
The CLT has no staff, but commissions Liberty to conduct charitable work such as providing public advice and information, also research, policy work, and litigation.
Liberty produces briefings on its campaign issues, as well as researching and writing reports on particular areas of human rights and civil liberties.
Being a cross-party, non-party political organisation, Liberty regularly publishes briefings to MPs and peers, to provide consultation to parliamentary committees and to respond to consultations on issues relating to human rights and civil liberties in the UK.
Reduced rings play an elementary role in algebraic geometry, where this concept is generalized to the concept of a reduced scheme.
Subsequently, she served Minister for Foreign Affairs from 2002 to 2004 and continued as a Special Adviser to the Japanese Prime Minister for foreign affairs from 2004 to 2005.
In July 2008, she was appointed cochair of a new International Commission on Nuclear Non-proliferation and Disarmament, with former Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Gareth Evans.
A former economist at the World Bank, Kawaguchi served as Minister at the Embassy of Japan to the United States in 1990.
She worked as a Director General of Global Environmental Affairs at the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (now Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) between 1992 and 1993 before becoming a Managing Director of Suntory Holdings Ltd. in September 1993.
During her years as a Diet member, she served as deputy chair of the General Assembly of Liberal Democratic Party members in the Upper House.
She also became the director and chair of the Environment Committee, director of the Budget Committee and director of the Commission on the Constitution.
Kawaguchi served as chair of the LDP Okinawa Promotion Committee as well as co-chair of the International Commission on Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament and a board member of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders Foundation in 2008.
Kawaguchi, then a senior lawmaker of the ruling coalition Liberal Democratic Party, was ousted from her post as head of the Environment Committee of the House of Councillors when Japan's Upper House passed a resolution to fire her back in May 2013.
This was due to her unauthorized extension of stay in China which made the panel she led cancel a scheduled session.
Kawaguchi earned the approval of the parliament to go to China from April 23 to 24 to attend a conference but without prior permission, she extended for one more day to meet foreign policy official State Councilor Yang Jiechi.
Kawaguchi apologizes to Prime Minister Shinzō Abe, who is also the head of the LDP, of her unannounced leave but reasons that the last-minute arrangements with Yang was for Japan's best interests.
This extension gained a lot of criticisms from the opposition parties as Kawaguchi violated parliamentary rules as well neglected her duties.
However those who are in defense of the lawmaker such as Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga and LDP Secretary General Shigeru Ishiba say that the meeting between the two ministers was in order to address the territorial dispute going on between Japan and China in the East China Sea.
The meeting was considered a rare chance given the escalated tensions going on between the two countries and that this might not be possible again anytime in the near future.
This commotion by the opposition was then seen as a futile attempt to weaken the power of LDP seeing as they control the Lower House and they might take hold of the Upper House with the upcoming elections.
However, on May 9, 2013, the resolution of ousting Kawaguchi was passed despite the attempts of administration officials to defend her intentions.
She also received a Certificate of Doctor Honoris Causa by the authority of the Academic Council of the National University of Mongolia in September 2004.
October the following year, she received once again an Anniversary Medal for a major contribution to global security promotion and non-proliferation regime by K. Kadyrzhanov, Director General of the National Nuclear Center.
Built on an island close to the coast, it became connected to the mainland much later, in 1763, by filling in the channel.
Rovinj was eventually incorporated into the Byzantine Empire, later becoming part of the Exarchate of Ravenna in the 6th century, before being taken over by the Frankish Empire in 788.
For the following several centuries it was ruled by a succession of feudal lords, and in 1209 it was acquired by the Patriarchate of Aquileia under Wolfger von Erla.
During this period three town gates were constructed and Rovinj was fortified by two rows of defensive walls, remains of which can still be seen today.
Following the fall of Venice in 1797 and the ensuing Napoleonic interlude, Rovinj became part of the Austrian Empire, which lasted until World War I.
It then belonged to Kingdom of Italy from 1918 to 1947, when it was ceded to SFR Yugoslavia, as part of SR Croatia.
Following Croatia's independence in 1991, the town became one of the most important centers of Istria County, an administrative unit encompassing most of Istria.
The main economic activity in Rovinj is tourism and during peak season (May–September), its bars, restaurants and art galleries work long hours, while operating limited hours off-season.
The busiest area is the very centre of Rovinj, extending from the main bus station towards the old part of town, where most bars and clubs are located.
According to data compiled by Istria Tourist Board, Rovinj is the second biggest tourist destination in the county, in terms of overnight stays.
The two closest airports are Pula/Pola (Croatia) and Trieste (Italy) and during the summer season, low-cost airlines such as Ryanair operate direct flights from western Europe to both airports.
Apart from hotels on the mainland, there are also a handful of hotels on small islands surrounding Rovinj which are linked to the mainland by boats which go from the city centre to the hotel on the islands.
Rovinj is well-connected with the rest of Istria and with larger cities in the region such as Trieste, Rijeka, Ljubljana and Zagreb.
The centre of Rovinj, which includes the old town, is very walkable and transportation by bike or scooter is a preferred means of getting around for many locals.
In 1991 it was made the capital of the county for its location in the geographical centre of the Istria peninsula and in order to boost the development of its interior territories.
It then belonged to the Imperial March of Istria, which had originally been under the suzerainty of the newly established Duchy of Carinthia in 976, but separated together with the March of Carniola in 1040.
While most of Istria had gradually been annexed by Venice, Engelbert's descendant Count Albert III of Gorizia in 1374 bequested his Mitterburg estates to the Austrian House of Habsburg, who attached them to their Duchy of Carniola and gave it out in fief to various families, the last of which was the comital House of Montecuccoli from 1766.
The present-day Pazin Castle (Castle Montecuccoli) was rebuilt in the 15th and 16th century and disassembled in the 18th and 19th.
Later on, the flash was changed to the unit's crest, and the use of the beret spread throughout FIM1 and FAIA.
At 20:00 on 22 December 1978 a task force of the Argentine Navy and the Argentine Marines ( Batallón N° 5 ) under the command of Humberto José Barbuzzi would seize the islands Horn, Freycinet, Hershell, Deceit and Wollaston.
Commanded by Marine Commander Carlos H. Robacio, BIM-5 took part in the defence of Mount Tumbledown in the 1982 Falklands War.
Although made up by conscripts, the unit's core of highly-professional NCOs and commissioned officers, along with a well-developed training and logistics system, rendered BIM-5 a tough unit that fought well in defense during the Battle of Mount Tumbledown.
Different Argentine authorities have repeatedly decorated BIM-5's colors, with the French awarding Marine Admiral Robacio the French Légion d'Honneur and the Argentine government awarding him the Argentine Nation to the Valour in Combat Medal.
During preparations for movement to the Falklands, the Marine battalion was brought up to full strength of a light brigade with a company of the amphibious engineer company and a battery of the 1st Marine Artillery Regiment.
The 5th Marines were further strengthened by three Tigercat SAM/Hispano-Suiza 35mm batteries of the 1st Marine Anti-Aircraft Regiment, deployed along Stanley harbor, and a heavy machine-gun company of the Headquarters Battalion.
The BIM-5 positions around Port Stanley were bombarded, both from the sea by naval gunfire and from the air by the Royal Air Force Harriers.
At 4.30 p.m., on 7 June 1982, a British Harrier bombing positions held by the 5th Marine Battalion was reportedly hit by concentrated fire from M Company (under Marine Sub-Lieutenant Rodolfo Cionchi) on Sapper Hill.
There were no British aircraft lost on 7 June, although one GR-3 Harrier (XZ-989) was lost very early the next day, when it made an emergency landing at San Carlos due to battle damage.
From the moment the 2nd Battalion Scots Guards had finally been moved to Goat Ridge by helicopter, 1,500 rounds of artillery, descended upon the Marines, in preparation for the coming infantry assault.
At the same time 3 PARA on Mount Longdon came under heavy and accurate fire that killed four Paras and one REME craftsman and wounded seven Paratroopers in the shelling that was directed by Sub-Lieutenant Marcelo de Marco, the artillery officer of the 5th Marines on Tumbledown Mountain.
The 101st Anti-Aircraft Artillery Group's B Battery (B/GADA101) was assigned to defend the Fresinet Peninsula, a long, narrow piece of land running from Moody Brook to form the northern arm of Stanley, when their troops came under attack at 11 p.m.
A six-man team from 3 SBS ... with D and G Squadrons, SAS, with the object of creating a diversionary assault from the sea ... were to move across the Murrell River by four fast power-boats ...
The coxswain steered her by the hospital-ship for a shield and the boat died on them just as they reached the water's edge.
Another sanks just offshore, but close enough for the team to swim to safety ... An SBS corporal and two SAS troopers were wounded ...
Further south, action was initiated shortly after 8 p.m., as the 2nd Scots Guards' Reconnaissance Platoon carried out a diversionary attack, advancing with four Blues and Royals Scorpion light tanks.
As the British tanks came into range of the 5th Marine Battalion's O Coy (O/BIM5), one of the Scorpion tanks was incapacitated by a booby-trap.
Contact was maintained for over an hour before battalion headquarters ordered Obra Company to fall back ... What we did not realise at the time was that at least a wounded Marine made his way to the amphibious engineer platoon position and hurled a grenade wounding a Major.
The Guards decided to fall back towards the south but entered a minefield and were caught in a crossfire from the Mortar Platoon under Sergeant Elbio Cuñe on Mount William and the Marines' artillery.
At about 1.30 a.m. on 14 June, the commander of the 5th Marines ordered O Company of the Marines, to withdraw in order to stand in reserve.
O Coy's rest in reserve was short lived and in the early hours of 14 June the platoon commanders were instructed to put the platoons on one hour's notice to move.
Meanwhile, to the north of Mount William, Marine Sub-Lieutenant Eduardo Villarraza's N Company of the 5th Marines (N/BIM5) occupied Mount Tumbledown.
Argentine shells began landing among the Guards but by 2.30 a.m., part of the high ground was in British hands and the situation of the Argentine forces became uncertain.
In the centre of the mountain, one Scots Guards platoon managed to secure a small piece of high ground, where they were able to set up a fire base that pinned down several Marine positions for the remaining five hours of the battle.
The platoon commander [Marine Sub-Lieutenant Carlos Daniel Vazquez] then called Private Ramon Rotela manning the 60 millimetre mortar and Rotela fired it straight up into the air so that the bombs landed on ourselves.
I popped up, fired a rifle grenade in the direction of 8 to 10 British soldiers to keep their heads down, and then ran for the 2nd Platoon.
Two Argentine platoons (Second Lieutenant La Madrid and Marine Sub-Lieutenant Miño) on the eastern of Tumbledown counter-attacked resulting in further British casualties but were outmanoeuvred by the Scots Guards.
The fall of Wireless Ridge and the heavy expenditure of artillery, mortar and machine-gun ammunition in support of the 7th Infantry Regiment (RI7) on the ridgeline overlooking Moody Brook rendered the situation of the Marines tenuous.
O Company, BIM-5 (O/BIM5) had been sent up to the Moody Brook area and moved into blocking positions to the south and east of Moody Brook.
In due course firing broke out in the direction of Battalion HQ at Moody Brook, indicating that the British had outflanked their position.
At 7 a.m., the Commanding Officer of the 5th Marines reported his command post near Moody Brook had come under enemy fire from Wireless Ridge.
Around eight RI 6 personnel were killed and eighteen captured, many of them wounded but the 5th Marine Battalion's N Coy (N/BIM5) on Tumbledown and William carried out an orderly withdrawal to Sapper Hill.
The 6th Regiment's B Coy (B/RI6) also successfully withdrew with its portable weapons to set up new defensive positions around Sapper Hill.
I was convinced that we could still resist, and that is why I ordered the O Company - which was ready - to begin a counter-attack together with the M Company.
Generals Mario Benjamin Menendez (the commander of the Argentine garrison) and Oscar Jofre (commander of the 10th Brigade, responsible for the defence of Stanley), following a quick conference, agreed that to continue resistance would entail senseless loss of life.
Three Argentine Marines (Marine Conscripts Roberto Leyes, Eleodoro Monzon and Sergio Robledo) from Koch's platoon were killed covering the last withdrawal.
Two more Royal Marines, including Lt. Paul Allen trod on mines and Major Brian Armitage was badly injured when a Volvo BV-202 tracked vehicle ran over an anti-tank mine planted in the Sapper Hill sector.
Our military code states that for an Argentine military unit to surrender it must have spent all its ammunition or lost at least two-thirds of its men.
Kafka began writing the novel on the evening of 27 January 1922, the day he arrived at the mountain resort of (now in the Czech Republic).
Kafka died before he could finish the novel, and it is questionable whether he intended to finish it if he had survived his tuberculosis.
However, on 11 September 1922 in a letter to Brod, he wrote he was giving up on the book and would never return to it.
This would play heavily in the future of the translations and continues to be the center of discussion on the text.
was published that year as a two-volume set — the novel in the first volume, and the fragments, deletions and editor's notes in a second volume.
This team restored the original German text to its full and incomplete state, including Kafka's unique punctuation, considered critical to the style.
At one time Stroemfeld/Roter Stern Verlag did work for the rights to publish a critical edition with manuscript and transcription side-by-side.
He is quickly notified that his castle contact is an official named Klamm, who, in an introductory note, informs K. he will report to the Mayor.
Meanwhile, K., unfamiliar with the customs, bureaucracy and processes of the village, continues to attempt to reach Klamm, which is considered a strong taboo to the villagers.
The villagers hold the officials and the castle in high regard, even though they do not appear to know what the officials do.
Everyone appears to have an explanation for the officials' actions, but they often contradict themselves and there is no attempt to hide the ambiguity.
K. is the only villager who knows that the request is being forced by the castle (even though Frieda may be the genesis), with no consideration of the inhabitants of the village.
There are other failures of the system: K. witnesses a servant destroying paperwork when he cannot determine whom the recipient should be.
The castle's occupants appear to be all adult men, and there is little reference to the castle other than to its bureaucratic functions.
The latter declaration builds the importance of Hans, Otto's son, in K.'s eyes as a way to gain access to the castle officials.
Although they sometimes come to the village, they do not interact with the villagers unless they need female companionship, implied to be sexual in nature.
Note: The Muir translations refer to the Herrenhof Inn where the Harman translations translate this to the Gentleman's Inn (while the Bell translation calls it the Castle Inn).
Below, all references to the inn where the officials stay in the village is the Herrenhof Inn since this was the first, and potentially more widely read, translation.
It is well documented that Brod's original construction was based on religious themes and this was furthered by the Muirs in their translations.
Harman feels he has removed the bias in the translations toward this view, but many still feel this is the point of the book.
For example, the official Galater (the German word for Galatians), one of the initial regions to develop a strong Christian following from the work of Apostle Paul and his assistant Barnabas.
Hence it is no surprise that many feel that the work is a direct result of the political situation of the era in which it was written, which was shot through with anti-Semitism, remnants of the Habsburg monarchy, etc.
For instance, the treatment of the Barnabas family, with their requirement to first prove guilt before they could request a pardon from it and the way their fellow villagers desert them have been pointed out as a direct reference to the anti-Semitic climate at the time.
On the other hand, while Josef K.'s surroundings stay familiar even when strange events befall him, K. finds himself in a new world whose laws and rules are unfamiliar to him.
We decided to omit the variants and passages deleted by Kafka that are included in Pasley's second volume, even though variants can indeed shed light on the genesis of literary texts.
The chief objective of this new edition, which is intended for the general public, is to present the text in a form that is as close as possible to the state in which the author left the manuscript.
Some of this is due, as with Muir's translations, on accusations that Pasley compilations are also inaccurate, although better than Brod's.
There are numerous examples of passages from Pasley, Muir's translation and his translation to provide the reader with a better feel for the work.
In January 2013 the ship capsized and sunk at her moorings in the Argentine naval base of Puerto Belgrano due to lack of maintenance, being refloated in December 2015.
Construction began in 1973, but commissioning was long delayed by an improvised limpet mine attack carried out by divers of the guerrilla organization Montoneros on 22 August 1975.
The date was chosen as a retaliation for the Trelew massacre three years before, when a number of leftist militants, most of them from the People's Revolutionary Army (ERP), were executed inside Almirante Zar air base, operated by the navy.
The raid was allegedly planned in imitation of Operation Frankton, a British commando attack against German shipping in Bordeaux during World War II.
The attack involved the use of a folding boat, frogmen and a limpet mine with of explosives, which was laid on the river bed below the destroyer after a failed attempt to attach the device to the hull.
The ship's bottom and electronics suffered severe damage, and completion was suspended for a year as a result of the attack.
In November 1981 she made her maiden voyage to Britain, where the destroyer carried out her first sea trials, and her crew was trained in the operation and launching of Sea Dart missiles.
A team of 84 amphibious commandos and 8 tactical divers landed at Mullet Creek at midnight in 21 Gemini boats lowered from her deck.
The wireless message demanding the surrender of the British Governor, Rex Hunt (governor), along with the Royal Marines detachment on the islands was also radioed from the destroyer.
During the remainder of the Falklands War, along with her sister ship , the unit served as the main escort to the aircraft carrier .
Late on 1 May, the carrier launched a number of S-2 Tracker surveillance aircraft, with the aim of finding the British Task Group.
The British aircraft, Sea Harrier XZ451 piloted by Flight Lieutenant Ian Mortimer and belonging to the 801 Naval Air Squadron, was fended off by the threat of the Sea Dart, but not before spotting the area of deployment of the Argentine fleet.
After realising that the enemy was not engaged in a major amphibious operation as supposed, which made any attempt of the Argentine against the British carriers extremely dangerous, the Argentine commander, Admiral Allara, decided to withdraw his forces to shallow waters close to the coast.
The destroyer lost her Lynx helicopter on 4 May when the aircraft hit her flight-deck as the Argentine fleet was redeploying.
She spent the next few days in dry dock to repair the mechanical problems which reduced her speed during the operations of 1 May.
Postcolonial feminism is a form of feminism that developed as a response to feminism focusing solely on the experiences of women in Western cultures.
Postcolonial feminism seeks to account for the way that racism and the long-lasting political, economic, and cultural effects of colonialism affect non-white, non-Western women in the postcolonial world.
Postcolonial feminism originated in the 1980s as a critique of feminist theorists in developed countries pointing out the universalizing tendencies of mainstream feminist ideas and argues that women living in non-Western countries are misrepresented.
Third World feminism stems from the idea that feminism in Third World countries is not imported from the First World, but originates from internal ideologies and socio-cultural factors.
Postcolonial feminism is sometimes criticized by mainstream feminism, which argues that postcolonial feminism weakens the wider feminist movement by dividing it.
When first-wave feminism originated in the late nineteenth century, it arose as a movement among white, middle-class women in the global North who were reasonably able to access both resources and education.
This population did not include the realities of women of color who felt the force of racial oppression or economically disadvantaged women who were forced out of the home and into blue-collar jobs.
However, first-wave feminism did succeed in getting votes for women and also, in certain countries, changing laws relating to divorce and care and maintenance of children.
Second-wave feminism began in the early 1960s and inspired women to look at the sexist power struggles that existed within their personal lives and broadened the conversation to include issues within the workplace, issues of sexuality, family, and reproductive rights.
First and second-wave feminist theory failed to account for differences between women in terms of race and class—it only addressed the needs and issues of white, Western women who started the movement.
Postcolonial feminism emerged as part of the third wave of feminism, which began in the 1980s, in tandem with many other racially focused feminist movements in order to reflect the diverse nature of each woman's lived experience.
In efforts to move away from 'grand narratives' stemmed from 'globalization', postcolonial theory was formed as a scholarly critique of colonial literature.
By acknowledging the differences among diverse groups of women, postcolonial feminism addresses what some call the oversimplification of Western feminism as solely a resistance against sexist oppression.
Postcolonial feminism is a relatively new stream of thought, developing primarily out of the work of the postcolonial theorists who concern themselves with evaluating how different colonial and imperial relations throughout the nineteenth century have impacted the way particular cultures view themselves.
This particular strain of feminism promotes a wider viewpoint of the complex layers of oppression that exist within any given society.
Postcolonial feminism began simply as a critique of both Western feminism and postcolonial theory, but later became a burgeoning method of analysis to address key issues within both fields.
Unlike mainstream postcolonial theory, which focuses on the lingering impacts that colonialism has had on the current economic and political institutions of countries, postcolonial feminist theorists are interested in analyzing why postcolonial theory fails to address issues of gender.
Postcolonial feminism also seeks to illuminate the tendency of Western feminist thought to apply its claims to women around the world because the scope of feminist theory is limited.
The concept of colonization occupies many different spaces within postcolonial feminist theory; it can refer to the literal act of acquiring lands or to forms of social, discursive, political, and economic enslavement in a society.
The differences between women, Lorde asserts, should be used as strengths to create a community in which women use their different strengths to support each other.
In this essay, Mohanty asserts that Western feminists write about Third World women as a composite, singular construction that is arbitrary and limiting.
She states that these women are depicted in writings as victims of masculine control and of traditional culture without incorporating information about historical context and cultural differences with the Third World.
This creates a dynamic where Western feminism functions as the norm against which the situation in the developing world is evaluated.
The most prominent point that Crowley makes in her article is that ethnography can be essential to problem solving, and that freedom does not mean the same thing to all the women of the world.
Postcolonial feminism began as a criticism of the failure of Western feminism to cope with the complexity of postcolonial feminist issues as represented in Third World feminist movements.
Western feminists and feminists outside of the West also often differ in terms of race and religion, which is not acknowledged in Western feminism and can cause other differences.
Western feminism tends to ignore or deny these differences, which discursively forces Third World women to exist within the world of Western women and their oppression to be ranked on an ethnocentric Western scale.
Thus, the examination of what truly binds women together is necessary in order to understand the goals of the feminist movements and the similarities and differences in the struggles of women worldwide.
The aim of the postcolonial feminist critique to traditional Western feminism is to strive to understand the simultaneous engagement in more than one distinct but intertwined emancipatory battle.
This is significant because feminist discourses are critical and liberatory in intent and are not thereby exempt from inscription in their internal power relations.
The hope of postcolonial feminists is that the wider feminist movement will incorporate these vast arrays of theories which are aimed at reaching a cultural perspective beyond the Western world by acknowledging the individual experiences of women around the world.
Ali Suki highlights the lack of representation of women of color in feminist scholarship comparing the weight of whiteness similar to the weight of masculinities.
This issue is not due to a shortage of scholarly work in the global South but a lack of recognition and circulation.
Most available feminist literature regarding the global South tends to be written by Western theorists resulting in the whitewashing of histories.
Feminist postcolonial theorists are not always unified in their reactions to postcolonial theory and Western feminism, but as a whole, these theorists have significantly weakened the bounds of mainstream feminism.
The intent of postcolonial feminism is to reduce homogenizing language coupled with an overall strategy to incorporate all women into the theoretical milieu.
The postcolonial feminist movements look at the gendered history of colonialism and how that continues to affect the status of women today.
In the 1940s and 1950s, after the formation of the United Nations, former colonies were monitored by the West for what was considered social progress.
As a result, traditional practices and roles taken up by women, sometimes seen as distasteful by Western standards, could be considered a form of rebellion against colonial rule.
These practices are generally looked down upon by Western women, but are seen as legitimate cultural practices in many parts of the world fully supported by practicing women.
Thus, the imposition of Western cultural norms may desire to improve the status of women but has the potential to lead to conflict.
In this way feminism and postcolonialism can be seen as having a similar goal in giving a voice to those that were voiceless in the traditional dominant social order.
While this holds significant value aiding new theory and debate to arise, there is no single story of global histories and Western imperialism is still significant.
Loomba suggests that colonialism carries both an inside and outside force in the evolution of a country concluding 'postcolonial' to be loaded with contradictions.
It is also closely affiliated with black feminism because both black feminists and postcolonial feminists argue that mainstream Western feminism fails to adequately account for racial differences.
Postcolonial feminists seek to tackle the ethnic conflict and racism that still exist and aims to bring these issues into feminist discourse.
In the past, mainstream Western feminism has largely avoided the issue of race, relegating it to a secondary issue behind patriarchy and somewhat separate from feminism.
Postcolonial feminism attempts to avoid speaking as if women were a homogeneous population with no differences in race, sexual preference, class, or even age.
This is primarily due to the perceived relationship between postcolonial feminism and other racially based feminist movements, especially black feminism and indigenous feminisms.
Postcolonial feminists want to force feminist theory to address how individual people can acknowledge racist presumptions, practices, and prejudices within their own lives attempting to halt its perpetuation through awareness.
Vera C. Mackie describes the history of feminist rights and women's activism in Japan from the late nineteenth century to present day.
Women in Japan began questioning their place in the social class system and began questioning their roles as subjects under the Emperor.
The book goes into detail about iconic Japanese women who stood out against gender oppression, including documents from Japanese feminists themselves.
Japan's oppression of women is written about displaying that women from yet another culture do not live under the same circumstances as women from western/white cultures.
There are different social conducts that occur in Asian countries that may seem oppressive to white feminists; according to Third World feminist ideologies, it is ideal to respect the culture that these women are living in while also implementing the same belief that they should not be oppressed or seen in any sort of sexist light.
Chilla Bulbeck discusses how feminism strives to fight for equality of the sexes through equal pay, equal opportunity, reproductive rights, and education.
She also goes on to write about how these rights apply to women in the global South as well but that depending on their country and culture, each individual's experience and needs are unique.
For example, representation of the Middle East and Islam focuses on the traditional practice of veiling as a way of oppressing women.
While Westerners may view the practice in this way, many women of the Middle East disagree and cannot understand how Western standards of oversexualized dress offer women liberation.
In the U.S., where Western culture flourishes most, it has a majority white population of 77.4% as of the 2014 U.S. census.
It was not until the victory of World War I that the Roaring Twenties emerged and gave women a chance to fight for independence.
Susan, Elizabeth, and many other feminist fought for the equality of rights for both women and African Americans; however, their accomplishments only benefited white middle-class women.
The lack of acknowledgement and acceptance of white privilege by white people is a main contributor to the inequality of rights in the United States.
White privilege, oppression, and exploitation in the U.S. and Western influenced countries are main contributors to the formation of other feminist movements such as black feminism, Islamic feminism, and many other movements.
Postcolonial and feminist theorists state that women are oppressed by both, patriarchy and the colonial power and that this is an ongoing process in many countries even after they achieved independence.
Postcolonial feminists are still concerned with identifying and revealing the specific effects double colonization has on female writers and how double colonization is represented and referred to in literature.
However, there is an ongoing discussion among theorists about whether the patriarchal or the colonial aspect are more pressing and which topic should be addressed more intensively.
Writers that are usually identified with the topic of double colonization and critique on Western feminism are for example Hazel V. Carby and Chandra Talpade Mohanty.
As postcolonial feminism is itself a critique of Western feminism, criticism of postcolonial feminism is often understood as a push back from Western feminism in defense of its aims.
One way in which the Western feminist movement criticizes postcolonial feminism is on the grounds that breaking down women into smaller groups to address the unique qualities and diversity of each individual causes the entire movement of feminism to lose purpose and power.
This criticism claims that postcolonial feminism is divisive, arguing that the overall feminist movement will be stronger if women can present a united front.
Like Western feminism, postcolonial feminism and Third World feminism are also in danger of being ethnocentric, limited by only addressing what is going on in their own culture at the expense of other parts of the world.
Generalizing colonialism can be extremely problematic as it translates into postcolonial feminism due to the contextual 'when, what, where, which, whose, and how' Suki Ali mentions in determining the postcolonial.
While postcolonial discourse has brought significant expansion of knowledge regarding feminist work, scholars have begun to rework and critique the field of postcolonial feminism developing a more well-rounded discourse termed transnational feminism.
The policy was advocated by the Communist Party of China chairman Hua Guofeng, Mao's successor, who had earlier ended the Cultural Revolution and arrested the Gang of Four.
It proved a trigger for Deng's manoeuvre in 1978 to gain control of economic policy in China, and led eventually to Hua being demoted from the party leadership in 1980.
In ice hockey, power forward (PWF) is a loosely applied characterization of a forward who is big and strong, equally capable of playing physically or scoring goals and would most likely have high totals in both points and penalties.
It is usually used in reference to a forward who is physically large, with the toughness to dig the puck out of the corners, possesses offensive instincts, has mobility, puck-handling skills, may be difficult to knock off the puck or to push away from the front of the goal and willingly engage in fights when he feels it is required.
Players who have been described as power forwards include Wendel Clark, Ryan Getzlaf, Clark Gillies, Jarome Iginla, Tim Kerr, John LeClair, Eric Lindros, Milan Lucic, Mark Messier, Alex Ovechkin, Keith Primeau, Brendan Shanahan, Ryan Smyth, Kevin Stevens, Keith Tkachuk, and Rick Tocchet.
In April 2007, the webcomic was picked up by United Media, which syndicated the webcomic online at Comics.com until February 2009.
The novel was originally supposed to be Palahniuk's first novel to be published, but it was rejected by the publisher for being too disturbing.
The narrator of the story is an unnamed disfigured woman who goes by multiple identities, notably Daisy St. Patience and Bubba Joan—identities that were given to her by Brandy Alexander, with whom she spends the majority of the book.
Her older brother, Shane, was kicked out of the house for being gay after a test for strep throat revealed itself to be gonorrhea.
After their parents receive a stranger's phone call that Shane is dead from AIDS, they become obsessive supporters of gay rights, so that even in death, Shane gets more parental attention than the narrator.
During their sessions, Brandy attempts to teach the narrator how to give herself a new life and a new identity, giving her a new name, Daisy St. Patience, the first among many new identities given to the narrator.
Because of the rapid non-linear motion of the novel's events, the narrator has often referred to Manus as Seth, an identity given to him by Brandy, and it is not until this moment in the novel that the reader learns that Manus and Seth are the same person.
The narrator learns that Brandy Alexander is really her brother, Shane, and that he strives to look like his sister (the narrator) through surgery.
They travel the country, and while pretending to be viewing rich homes for sale, steal whatever drugs or medication they can find and alternately ingest and sell them.
Her mother reveals that they are marrying Evie off to save themselves trouble, and also discloses that Evie used to be a man, and transitioned at a young age.
Evie told Brandy of the narrator's gun accident, and Brandy reveals she has known that the narrator, Shannon McFarland, was her sister since the beginning of their friendship.
Leaving her pocket book with all of her identification, she tells a sleeping Brandy that since Shane is still confused about what he wants out of life, he can have the only thing she has left, her identity.
In the Remix version, it is revealed that Shannon, now going by Daisy St. Patience full-time, has created a cemetery after her parents have died, in which you can bury relatives you disliked with spiteful sayings carved into the tombstones.
It contains a new author's introduction, explaining that the linear structure of the first edition was not the novel's original intent.
Instead, this new edition of the novel presents the chapters in mixed order with instructions on which chapter to read next, and new chapters have also been added.
MacLaren Productions Inc. acquired rights to the novel in 2009 and planned to begin production of a film adaptation in Vancouver in spring 2011 but this never materialised.
The company established a website to help raise support where people can demand the book be made into a movie by submitting their email, name and location online.
CHCH's studios are located near the corner of Jackson and Caroline Streets in downtown Hamilton, with additional offices at the Marriott on the Falls in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
On cable, the station is available on Cogeco Cable channel 12 in Hamilton and Niagara Region, and channel 10 in Halton Region, and Rogers Cable channels 11 and 121 in the Greater Toronto Area.
There is also a high definition feed on Cogeco digital channel 707 in Hamilton, Halton and Niagara, and Rogers Cable digital channel 521 in the Greater Toronto Area, and on Shaw Direct classic lineup channel 36 and advanced lineup channel 536.
On satellite, the station is available nationwide on Shaw Direct classic lineup channel 345 and advanced lineup channel 41, and on Bell TV on channels 211 (standard definition) and 1057 (high definition).
CHCH also streams all of its local programming and a limited amount of syndicated programming live on the Internet, with no provider restrictions; since April 2019, CHCH's online feed has been restricted to IP addresses outside Ontario.
CHCH-TV was founded by Ken Soble, a leader of Hamilton's urban renewal movement, and owner of radio station CHML (900 AM).
CHCH became the first (and for over a decade, the only) television station in Canada not to be affiliated with any network, as the other private stations (which signed on the air in 1960 or early 1961) that were not affiliated with the CBC had formed the CTV network in October 1961.
In the mid-1960s, CHCH was the lead station in United Program Purchase, a consortium of Canadian television stations which began purchasing some programming rights separately from the CTV and CBC networks.
In the fall of that year, Soble's Niagara Television, the licensee of CHCH, put forward a proposal for a network to be branded as NTV.
However, the application faced numerous regulatory hurdles and delays, and its main financial backer, Power Corporation of Canada, backed out in 1969.
By 1970, however, the network application was revived by former CHCH executive Al Bruner's new Global Communications corporation, with Niagara Television and CHCH no longer involved in the bid; the Global Television Network network launched in 1974 on the new CKGN-TV.
Despite the station's lack of success in becoming a full-fledged network, it did become one of Canada's most prominent syndicators of non-network programming in the 1970s and 1980s, with many of its locally produced entertainment programs airing on television stations across Canada and sometimes internationally.
CHCH became a national superstation on January 1, 1982, when Cancom (now Shaw Broadcast Services) began carrying the station and three others (CHAN-TV Vancouver, CITV Edmonton, and TCTV, essentially a rebroadcaster of CFTM-TV Montreal) to cable television providers in remote regions of the country that otherwise only had access to the CBC.
Although the station had been available on cable television in many Ontario markets for years, its broadcast signal coverage was expanded throughout Ontario in 1997 with the launch of several rebroadcasters, in an effort to compete with the reach of Global's Ontario station CIII (channel 6), and with the Baton Broadcast System, a group of mostly CTV-affiliated stations that served most of the province.
Local news programming shifted focus from the station's core market, the Hamilton area, toward Ontario as a whole, in an attempt to challenge what was then a regional news service provided by Global.
However, with Hamilton now being largely an afterthought, and other local stations (in Toronto and elsewhere) already strong in the ratings, the shift was unsuccessful, and CHCH's ratings decreased.
Despite the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission's (CRTC) television station ownership restrictions (one station per owner, per language in each market), Canwest was permitted to maintain CHCH's coverage of other markets throughout most of Ontario.
In March 2009 paperwork filed with the CRTC for a one-year renewal of CHCH's licence revealed that the station was projected to lose nearly $30 million during the station's 2010 fiscal year which began on September 1, 2009 – with projected revenues of just $41 million against costs of $69 million.
On June 30, 2009, Channel Zero announced that it would purchase CHCH and CJNT in Montreal from Canwest in exchange for $12 in cash and the assumption of various station liabilities.
Channel Zero took control of the station's programming at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the morning of August 31, beginning its tenure with a film from the 1980s.
Coinciding with the schedule changes was the introduction of an updated version of CHCH's classic multi-coloured logo used from the 1960s to the 1980s.
On April 10, 2011 Green Party leader Elizabeth May participated in a panel interview on CHCH, which she was invited to attend, as were the leaders of the Bloc Québécois, Liberals, New Democratic Party and Conservatives, by Channel Zero, whose president was disappointed by May's exclusion from the 2011 election leaders' debates.
On April 18, 2011, CKXT-TV converted from an independent station to a simulcast of the Sun News Network, leaving CHCH as the only independent station in the Toronto/Hamilton area (the station ceased operations approximately seven months later on November 1, 2011).
The substitution appeared to have been made by a cable operator during repairs of severed cable lines, and not at CHCH, leaving the station's over-the-air viewers and subscribers of other cable and satellite providers unaffected.
Channel Zero denied that the programme in question came from any of its adult-oriented Category B specialty channels (Maleflixxx Television, XXX TV and AOV TV).
Though the station remained on the air, CHCH's daytime rolling news format was discontinued at 4:00 p.m., with Channel Zero CEO Romen Podzyhun appearing on the air to announce that the station's local newscasts would remain off the air through the weekend, and would return on December 14.
In addition, Channel Zero announced that Channel 11, L.P., the subsidiary that had produced CHCH's newscasts since 2009, had filed for bankruptcy.
Podzyhun blamed this on a loss of federal subsidy and an inability to draw national advertising revenue to a locally oriented station, but stated that the station itself was not shutting down.
In 2015, CHCH-DT teamed up with fellow independent CJON-DT and the three Yes TV stations (including nearby station CITS-DT) to share and syndicate YesTV's secular programming in arrangement referred to in advertising sales information as the Net5 alliance (referring to the three O&Os and two affiliates).
Since Fall 2016, CHCH has replaced many airings of these programs with newly acquired daytime shows on weekdays, and movies on the weekends.
In the spring of 2016, Channel Zero put the studios of CHCH-DT (from which the station has continuously operated, starting in 1954) on the market.
In October 2018, CHCH announced a new location for their studios, leaving their long-time location on Jackson Street West in downtown Hamilton, and moving to 4 Innovation Drive in Flamborough.
The property is to be renovated for a news operation, which the station hopes to have up and running by the spring of 2021.
As of September 2018, CHCH's daytime programming consists of locally produced newscasts geared primarily to the Golden Horseshoe region of Southern Ontario, and a block of classic television series airing weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and featuring sitcoms and dramas from the 1970s and 1980s.
In primetime, the station runs only a handful of first-run domestic and American entertainment programs during primetime and the late evening hours as well as movies.
A syndication deal with 20th Television provided the station with programming from both the National Geographic Channel and the MTM Enterprises libraries, but by September 2018, most of the National Geographic programming was dropped as the station had reformatted to emphasize its retro programming.
system, the two stations jointly purchased a virtually identical lineup of prime time programming at first, although their prime time schedules later began to diverge.
For a time, CHCH broadcast local mid-week telecasts of NHL games from the Toronto Maple Leafs, and co-produced Buffalo Sabres games with Adelphia Cable and the Sabres' owners.
For a number of years, CHCH also broadcast Sunday afternoon coverage of regular season games from the NFL's Buffalo Bills because CTV (and later, the Global Television Network) had to choose the Detroit Lions for its Ontario stations as part of that network's NFL coverage (the Bills are now seen primarily on Sportsnet Ontario; the Lions have returned to CTV).
McMaster Marauders university football was broadcast on the station during the late 1990s and early 2000s; beginning in 2015, CHCH resumed carrying Ontario University Athletics football, carrying the conference's playoff tournaments and, beginning in 2017 after City passed on the package, some regular season games as well.
Weekend news consists of an hour-long evening newscast which airs at 6 p.m., and half-hour at 11 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.
In late 2008, Canwest placed CHCH's longest serving news anchors, Connie Smith (whose last day on the air occurred on November 28, 2008) and Dan McLean (who left on December 12) on forced retirement, blaming financial troubles and budget cuts.
Since being taken over by Channel Zero on August 31, 2009, Hamm and Cowan have co-hosted a restored hour-long newscast at noon.
The simulcast on CIII was dropped at the end of August after Channel Zero took control of CHCH, with CIII replacing it with lifestyle programming reruns and rebroadcasts of its 11:00 p.m. newscast from the previous night.
While the station continued to share helicopter traffic services provided by the Canadian Traffic Network, the arrangement between Canwest and CHCH ended on December 31, 2009 as Canwest held the exclusive rights to CTN services in the Greater Toronto Area.
Upon becoming an independent station on August 31, 2009, the station adopted a news-intensive format, replacing network programming in the 9:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. periods on weekdays with expanded newscasts.
Before declaring bankruptcy in December 2015, CHCH-DT broadcast 77 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with 15 hours on weekdays and two hours each on Saturdays and Sundays).
Its heavy weekday newscast total was largely due to a prominent daytime rolling news block on weekdays (airing from 4:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., along with an hour-long newscast at 6:00 p.m., and 11:00 p.m.).
On December 11, 2015, at 4:00 p.m., Channel Zero CEO and Chairman Romen Podzyhun announced, in a pre-recorded message, that Channel 11 L.P., the division responsible for providing news programming for CHCH and the employer of the relevant staff, was declaring bankruptcy, and news programming was suspended immediately.
Chris Fuoco, Channel Zero vice-president, said that by 3 p.m. on December 15, 77 people had accepted the offer of employment with the new company.
The restructuring was viewed by some as a union-busting attempt in light of a December 14 note sent by a CHCH News Account manager, Kathleen Marks, to a prospective advertiser indicating that the new company would not be burdened by the union or old CanWest debt.
The amount offered to laid-off employees is in dispute with Channel Zero claiming a minimum of $4000 to be paid per person (for any accrued vacation, expense reimbursements and regular pay) and some employees disputing that amount.
A news item on the CHCH web site, dated December 15, indicated that no severance pay had been offered to any employee, although all were union members.
On September 7, 2016, CHCH announced the return of local weekend news programming with two half hours of news at 6pm and 11pm starting October 29, 2016, citing advertiser and viewer demand.
On August 28, 1996, CHCH received Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission approval to add new rebroadcast transmitters across most of Ontario.
During the analog television shutdown and digital conversion in August 2011, CHCH's transmitters in Ottawa, London, and Muskoka (serving Barrie, part of the Toronto market) were converted to digital, since the transmitters were in or near markets that were mandated to make the switch.
However, the transmitters broadcast in standard-definition 480i since they receive the CHCH signal via Shaw Broadcast Services, which does not carry CHCH's HD feed.
CHCH shut down its analogue signal, over VHF channel 11, on August 15, 2011, two weeks prior to the August 31 date on which Canadian television stations in CRTC-designated mandatory markets transitioned from analogue to digital broadcasts.
On March 9, 2012, Channel Zero-operated numbered company 2190015 Ontario Inc. was granted permission to move the station's broadcasts from VHF channel 11 to UHF channel 15 (which had recently been vacated by CKXT-DT-1), in response to poor reception of CHCH-DT along its fringes in the Greater Toronto Area, compared to its former analogue signal on VHF channel 11 and transitional digital signal on UHF channel 18.
During the application process, the station also claimed that Mobile DTV services perform better in the UHF band, and this move would allow the station to plan for a potential Mobile DTV feed.
Industry Canada stated that this application is technically feasible, though pirate broadcaster Star Ray TV, had broadcast in analogue on UHF channel 15 from a transmitter in The Beaches neighbourhood of Toronto.
Tri-State Christian Television's WNYB from Jamestown, New York also has a Buffalo-based translator, WBNF-CD, on UHF channel 15, which would require addressing by the CRTC due to the closer location of CHCH's transmitter to WBNF-CD.
On December 2, 2013, CHCH moved its digital signal to channel 15, allowing CHCH to broadcast with a considerably higher power of 132 kW compared to 6 kW on channel 11 and 60 kW from their former transitional digital frequency on channel 18.
Laudium was created by the Apartheid government as part of their policy aimed at moving ethnic groups out of Marabastad and central Pretoria, which were zoned as 'White Areas' following the passage of the Group Areas Act.
The eastern portion of the original Claudius retained its name and white population for a time, but the white population of Claudius has long since been displaced by Indians (it was eventually also declared an Indian area by the Apartheid government, to reduce housing shortages in Laudium), and Claudius had effectively become an extension of Laudium by 1980.
Claudius straddles the R55 (Quagga Road), and parts of Second Avenue, Third Avenue, and Cuprene Street technically are part of Claudius, along with Sunrise School , however this smaller part of Cladius, west of the R55 is often regarded as part of Laudium, with the R55 being commonly thought of as the dividing line.
Extensions 2 and 3 are hilly, and lie north of a railway line that linked the PPC dolomite quarry near Erasmia with Iscor's Pretoria Works.
The railway line was abandoned by the mid-2000s, however, the railway right-of-way is still clearly visible, and it limits the road linkages between the upper and lower parts of Laudium to a bridge connecting Bengal Street to First Avenue, and a link between 19th Avenue and 33rd Avenue that was constructed in the early 1990s.
In 2012, Claudius east of the R55 had a wall and security gate system (road closure) installed, which residents have free access to as every resident paid a small portion of the cost of building the wall however, visitors have to fill out an entry/visitors book before entering, making it a gated community.
Laudium has a large number of Muslims and Hindus Hindu and Muslim residents, with a large number of temples and mosques, the oldest temple being the Shree Pretoria Hindu Seva Samaj and mosque PMT Jumma Masjid in Jewel Street.
There are also many recent South Asian (Indian and Pakistani) residents, who immigrated to South Africa after the end of Apartheid.
Laudium is a relatively wealthy area (which is unusual for a township), with very large mansions visible from the R55 road.
However, the Indian township of Lotus Gardens was established in the early 1990s, north of Church Street, and many Indian families from White Blocks were relocated there, and some old units were torn down.
Another public housing development, in Extension 2, consisting of council flats, was later sold to residents, and is now called Himalaya Heights and Bangladesh Heights.
Significant numbers of more affluent Indian residents began relocating out of Laudium, to newly established nearby security estates in western Centurion in the late 2000s.
The black township of Atteridgeville lies directly north of Laudium, although the two areas are separated by a series of hills, and no direct tarred road link exists between the two.
Extension 1 consists of the western part of White Blocks, Extension 2 lies on the eastern portion of the hills north of the original suburb, and Extension 3 is west of Extension 2.
The municipal Geographic Information System also lists and Extension 4, which is west of the suburb, and consists of non-residential land, including the Laudium Cemetery, the Laudium Stadium, Hindu seva samaj school and Tshwane Muslim School.
While the government schools continue to be staffed mostly by Indian teachers, most of the pupils in these schools are black and commute daily from black townships.
A generation of Indian children who by far are the poor majority are deprived and lost cause the government educational system is a failed system churning out poorly equipped children with little or no skills for the life ahead of them.
The Transvaal College of Education, which trained Indian teachers in the former Transvaal province was moved to a large campus in Laudium.
However, after the end of apartheid, the college was deemed redundant and closed down (Indian teachers were no longer barred from colleges formerly used by white teachers).
Many residents of Laudium are bitter that since the demise of apartheid the school was not utilized to further the interests of the community.
The department of higher Education ignored many requests from the Indian community to utlized the college for the benefit of the Indian community and pushed ahead with the sports college and as a result many residents opting to vote for other political parties besides the ANC.
The Rosina Sedibane college is currently mismanaged and was involved in 2018 in a financial fraud scandal to the amount of over 3 million rands.
In addition the school is poorly managed as highlighted by the case involving a pupil who was brain injured and sucessfuly sued the department of Education to the tune of over 7 million rands for negligence.
The Laudium Hospital, a state hospital created under apartheid for Indians from Laudium and surrounding areas, closed down, and is now the Laudium Community Health Centre.
However after sunset the nurses on duty call a doctor in who arrives after a long time only to refer you to crumbling Kalafong hospital which has a terrible reputation.
Hence most members of the community do not waste their time even visiting the health care center and rather make use of private health care service providers.
In addition to the community healthcare center a clinic operates at the heart in the CBD of Laudium which is a municipal clinic controlled by the municipality.
Laudium also had only one entrance west of the R55 road, which links Laudium to central Pretoria as well as Centurion.
A dual carriageway links Laudium with central Pretoria, while the deteriorated single-carriageway link to Centurion was upgraded to a dual carriageway by 2013.
The N14 westbound from the R55 connects Laudium and surrounding areas to the West Rand, and the eastbound lanes are used to access the N1 to Johannesburg, via the Brakfontein interchange in Centurion.
Road links to the economically and academically important eastern suburbs of Pretoria are poor, usually requiring drivers to traverse the city centre or rat run across the Thaba Tshwane military base.
Public transport links are limited, and, although limited municipal bus services were introduced following the end of apartheid, minibus taxis remain the primary mode of public transport.
Most of them have not obtained or have been refused municipal approval for this conversion due to the fact that the Centurion municipality is still dominated by white apartheid era townplanners who are out of touch with the community and its development needs.
The dynamic has changed considerably since the end of apartheid and the white townplanners in Centurion who are in charge of Laudium albeit seldom have vist the area insist on keeping it according to the regional spacial development framework put forward by themselves who do not reside in Laudium.
Again this is a further reflection of the greater picture in the country in which the majority of small business in all suburbs, townships and metropolitan areas are foreign owned.
Laudium BBM a division of Laudium Today is a whatsapp broadcast group and is the prime source of news for the community.
However since the demise of apartheid and the criminal justice system in South Africa the drug problem in Laudium (and the rest of South Africa) has exploded.
The problem has affected all levels and classes of Indian society from the poorest of the poor to the richest of the rich.
If in the rare event a drug dealer is arrested (when an outside Police operation often from higher ups during election time) it is common to find the drug dealer out on bail the next morning.
As a result those Indian families that can afford tend to migrate to the leafy security Centurion estates of Raslouw, Eldoglen and Eldolakes.
Frank Simmons Leavitt (June 30, 1891 – May 29, 1953) was an American professional wrestler of the early 1900s, known by the ring name Man Mountain Dean.
This led to a lifelong interest in competitive sport, and also enabled him to lie about his age in order to join the Army at the age of fourteen.
While enlisted he saw duty on the Mexico–United States border with John J. Pershing, and was later sent to France where he participated in combat during World War I.
Although he played with the New York Brickley Giants of the National Football League from 1919–20, he concentrated most of his efforts on professional wrestling.
Leavitt wrestled with limited success at first, and after an injury took a job as a police officer in Miami, Florida.
This would be the beginning of a subsidiary movie career for Dean, who would appear in various roles in twelve other movies, playing himself in five of them.
Meanwhile, he continued a successful wrestling career, participating altogether in 6,783 professional bouts and commanding fees upwards of $1,500 for each match.
Dean ran for a seat in the Georgia House of Representatives in 1938 but withdrew his candidacy, citing discomfort with the political process.
During World War II he again joined the Army despite his age, and eventually retired with the rank of master sergeant.
Dean died of a heart attack in his home in Norcross, Georgia, aged 61, in 1953, and is buried in Marietta National Cemetery under a military marker bearing his birth name and an erroneous year of birth (1889).
Claes was forced to resign from his NATO position after he was found guilty of corruption, which was uncovered during the investigation into André Cools' death.
A witness known as X3 in the Marc Dutroux investigation identified Claes as one of those present during alleged torture, sexual abuse and murder of children.
He also served as deputy prime minister five times, and was an important negotiator in the formation of coalition governments during the 1980s.
Claes was Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1992 until 1994, during which period he presided over Belgium's withdrawal from the UN peacekeeping mission in Rwanda during the Rwandan genocide.
Claes was also Secretary General of NATO from 1994 until 1995, when he resigned after the discovery of a bribe of over 50 million Belgian francs (BEF), accepted at the time he was minister of economic affairs and connected to the defence contract negotiations with Agusta and Dassault.
Freeman Lowell, one of four crewmen aboard, is the resident botanist and ecologist who carefully maintains a variety of plants for their eventual return to Earth and the reforestation of the planet.
After four of the six domes are jettisoned and blown up, Lowell rebels and opts instead to save the plants and animals on his ship.
Lowell kills one of his crew-mates who arrives to plant explosives in his favorite dome, and his right leg is seriously injured in the process.
Later, as the ship endures the rough passage, Drone 3 (Louie) is lost, but the ship and its remaining dome emerge relatively undamaged on the other side of the rings.
Huey is damaged when Lowell accidentally collides with him while driving a buggy recklessly, and Dewey sentimentally refuses to leave Huey's side during the repairs.
As time passes, Lowell is horrified when he discovers that his bio-dome is dying, but is unable to come up with a solution to the problem.
It is then that he realizes a lack of light has restricted plant growth, and he races to install lamps to correct this situation.
The final scene is of the now well-lit forest greenhouse drifting into deep space, with Dewey tenderly caring for it, holding a battered old watering can.
Director Stanley Kubrick had wanted the Stargate sequence of that film to be about Saturn, but there were technical difficulties in getting the special effects for it finished in the limited time available.
The forest environments were originally intended to be filmed in the Mitchell Park Domes in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but the production budget forced the sequences to be shot in a newly completed aircraft hangar in Van Nuys, California.
Each ship features a designation on the hull which notes the area from which some of the flora and fauna samples were taken.
After filming was completed, American Airlines expressed an interest in sending the model on the tour circuit, but this was not feasible due to the fragile nature of the model (in fact, during filming pieces of the model kept falling off).
Several domes survive, including one that now rests in the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle, Washington, and another which was sold at auction in 2008.
The three drones were played by four bilateral amputees, an idea inspired by Johnny Eck, a sideshow performer of the early 20th century who had been born without lower limbs.
In addition, an LP was released on Decca in 1972 (DL 7-9188) and later reissued by Varese Sarabande on black (STV-81072) and green (VC-81072) vinyl.
Praise is mainly focused on the special effects and Bruce Dern's performance, while the script and storyline are criticised as weak.
It was written by Harlan Thompson, a long-time children's book author, based on the screen story and screenplay by Cimino, Washburn, and Bochco.
Dharam Singh Deol or known by his mononymous stage name Dharmendra (born 8 December 1935) is an Indian film actor, producer, and politician.
He was a member of the 14th Lok Sabha of India, representing Bikaner constituency in Rajasthan from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Dharmendra was born Dharam Singh Deol in Nasrali, a village in Ludhiana district, Punjab on 8 December, 1935 to Kewal Kishan Singh Deol and Satwant Kaur in a Punjabi Jat family, His ancestral village is Dangon, near Pakhowal Tehsil Raikot, Ludhiana.
He spent his early life in the village of Sahnewal and studied at Government Senior Secondary School at Lalton Kalan, Ludhiana, where his father was the village school's headmaster.
While accepting the award from Dilip Kumar and his wife Saira Banu, Dharmendra became emotional and remarked that he had never won any Filmfare award in the Best Actor category despite having worked in so many successful films and nearly a hundred popular movies.
Dharmendra served as a Member of the Indian Parliament (Lok Sabha) representing Bikaner in Rajasthan from 2004 to 2009 on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
He rarely attended Parliament when the house was in session, preferring to spend the time shooting for movies or doing farm-work at his farm house.
After moving to Bombay and getting into the film business, Dharmendra married Hema Malini after allegedly converting to Islam to stay married to his first wife without having to get a divorce, although he later denied any conversion to Islam.
He is said to have watched her film 'Dillagi' (1949) 40 times, after having to walk several miles on foot in his hometown Sahnewal to go to the nearest cinema hall.
The Polish government-in-exile, officially known as the Government of the Republic of Poland in exile (), was the government in exile of Poland formed in the aftermath of the Invasion of Poland of September 1939, and the subsequent occupation of Poland by Germany and the Soviet Union, which brought to an end the Second Polish Republic.
Despite the occupation of Poland by hostile powers, the government-in-exile exerted considerable influence in Poland during World War II through the structures of the Polish Underground State and its military arm, the Armia Krajowa (Home Army) resistance.
Abroad, under the authority of the government-in-exile, Polish military units that had escaped the occupation fought under their own commanders as part of Allied forces in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
After the war, as the Polish territory came under the control of the People's Republic of Poland, a Soviet satellite state, the government-in-exile remained in existence, though largely unrecognized and without effective power.
Only after the end of Communist rule in Poland did the government-in-exile formally pass on its responsibilities to the new government of the Third Polish Republic in December 1990.
From 1940, following the Fall of France, the government moved to London, and remained in the United Kingdom until its dissolution in 1990.
On 17 September 1939, the President of the Polish Republic, Ignacy Mościcki, who was then in the small town of Kuty (now Ukraine) near the southern Polish border, issued a proclamation about his plan to transfer power and appointing Władysław Raczkiewicz, the Marshal of the Senate, as his successor.
Raczkiewicz, who was already in Paris, immediately took his constitutional oath at the Polish Embassy and became President of the Republic of Poland.
Most of the Polish Navy escaped to Britain, and tens of thousands of Polish soldiers and airmen escaped through Hungary and Romania or across the Baltic Sea to continue the fight in France.
Many Poles subsequently took part in Allied operations: in Norway (Narvik), in France in 1940 and in 1944, in the Battle of Britain, in the Battle of the Atlantic, in North Africa (notably Tobruk), Italy (notably at Cassino and Ancona), at Arnhem, Wilhelmshaven, and elsewhere.
Under the Sikorski–Mayski agreement of July 1941 Polish soldiers taken prisoner by the Soviet Union in 1939, were released to form Anders' Army, intended to fight Nazi Germany in the USSR, but instead transferred via Iran to fight with US and British forces.
The Polish government in exile, based first in Paris, then in Angers, France, where Władysław Raczkiewicz lived at the Château de Pignerolle near Angers from 2 December 1939 until June 1940.
Politically, it was a coalition of the Polish Peasant Party, the Polish Socialist Party, the Labour Party and the National Party, although these parties maintained only a vestigial existence in the circumstances of war.
When Germany launched a war against the Soviets in 1941, the Polish government in exile established diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union against Hitlerism, but also in order to help Poles persecuted by the NKVD.
On 12 August 1941 the Kremlin signed a one-time amnesty, extending to thousands of Polish soldiers who had been taken prisoner in 1939 by the Red Army in eastern Poland, including many Polish civilian prisoners and deportees entrapped in Siberia.
They were evacuated to Iran and the Middle East, where they were desperately needed by the British, hard pressed by Rommel's Afrika Korps.
These Polish units formed the basis for the Polish II Corps, led by General Władysław Anders, which together with other, earlier-created Polish units fought alongside the Allies.
During the war, especially from 1942 on, the Polish government in exile provided the Allies with some of the earliest and most accurate accounts of the ongoing Holocaust of European Jews and, through its representatives, like the Foreign Minister Count Edward Raczyński and the courier of the Polish Underground movement, Jan Karski, called for action, without success, to stop it.
The note the Foreign Minister, Count Edward Raczynski, sent on 10 December 1942 to the Governments of the United Nations was the first official denunciation by any Government of the mass extermination and of the Nazi aim of total extermination of the Jewish population.
It was also the first official document singling out the sufferings of European Jews as Jews and not only as citizens of their respective countries of origin.
The note of 10 December 1942 and the Polish Government efforts triggered the Declaration of the Allied Nations of 17 December 1942.
In April 1943, the Germans announced that they had discovered at Katyn Wood, near Smolensk, Russia, mass graves of 10,000 Polish officers (the German investigation later found 4,443 bodies) who had been taken prisoner in 1939 and murdered by the Soviets.
Since it was clear that it would be the Soviet Union, not the western Allies, who would liberate Poland from the Germans, this breach had fateful consequences for Poland.
In an unfortunate coincidence, Sikorski, widely regarded as the most capable of the Polish exile leaders, was killed in an air crash at Gibraltar in July 1943.
During 1943 and 1944, the Allied leaders, particularly Winston Churchill, tried to bring about a resumption of talks between Stalin and the Polish government in exile.
Stalin insisted that the territories annexed by the Soviets in 1939, which had millions of Poles in addition to Ukrainian and Belarusian populations, should remain in Soviet hands, and that Poland should be compensated with lands to be annexed from Germany.
In contrast, Tomasz Arciszewski, who had succeeded Mikołajczyk as Prime Minister, had announced in 1944 that Poland did not wish to annex Breslau or Stettin, but at most wanted East Prussia cleared of its German inhabitants.
Mikołajczyk and his colleagues in the Polish government-in-exile insisted on making a stand in the defense of Poland's pre-1939 eastern border (retaining its Kresy region) as a basis for the future Polish-Soviet border.
The government-in-exile's refusal to accept the proposed new Polish borders infuriated the Allies, particularly Churchill, making them less inclined to oppose Stalin on issues of how Poland's postwar government would be structured.
In the end, the exiles lost on both issues: Stalin annexed the eastern territories, and was able to impose the communist-dominated Provisional Government of the Republic of Poland as the legitimate authority of Poland.
However, Poland preserved its status as an independent state, despite the arguments of some influential Communists, such as Wanda Wasilewska, in favor of Poland becoming a republic of the Soviet Union.
In November 1944, despite his mistrust of the Soviets, Mikołajczyk resigned to return to Poland and take office in the Provisional Government of National Unity, a new government established under the auspices of the Soviet occupation authorities comprising his faction and much of the old Provisional Government.
Many Polish exiles opposed this action, believing that this government was a façade for the establishment of Communist rule in Poland.
The Communist-dominated bloc was credited with over 80 percent of the vote, a result that was only obtained through large-scale fraud.
The opposition claimed it would have won in a landslide (as much as 80 percent, by some estimates) had the election been honest.
In November, at a meeting with the Silesian society, Mikołajczyk was informed that he was to be arrested along with his advisor Paweł Zaleski.
Paweł waited a few days with Mikołaj and his father-in-law, Aries of Kamionka in Korfantów near Głuchołazy, before a transfer was organized.
Meanwhile, the Polish government in exile had maintained its existence, but France on 29 June 1945, then the United States and United Kingdom on 5 July 1945 withdrew their recognition.
The Polish Armed Forces in exile were disbanded in 1945, and most of their members, unable to safely return to Communist Poland, settled in other countries.
The London Poles had to vacate the Polish embassy on Portland Place and were left only with the president's private residence at 43 Eaton Place.
The government in exile became largely symbolic of continued resistance to foreign occupation of Poland, while retaining some important archives from prewar Poland.
The Republic of Ireland, Francoist Spain and the Vatican City (until 1979) were the last countries to recognize the government in exile, though the Vaticanthrough Secretary of State Domenico Tardinihad withdrawn diplomatic privileges from the envoy of the Polish pre-war government in 1959.
One group, claiming to represent 80% of 500,000 anti-Communist Poles exiled since the war, was opposed to President August Zaleski's continuation in office when his seven-year term expired.
It formed a Council of National Unity in July 1954, and set up a Council of Three to exercise the functions of head of state, comprising Tomasz Arciszewski, General Władysław Anders, and Edward Raczyński.
Some supporters of the government in exile eventually returned to Poland, such as Prime Minister Hugon Hanke in 1955 and his predecessor Stanisław Mackiewicz in 1956.
The Soviet-installed government in Warsaw campaigned for the return of the exiles, promising decent and dignified employment in communist Polish administration and forgiveness of past transgressions.
When Soviet influence over Poland came to an end in 1989, there was still a president and a cabinet of eight meeting every two weeks in London, commanding the loyalty of about 150,000 Polish veterans and their descendants living in Britain, including 35,000 in London alone.
In December 1990, when Lech Wałęsa became the first non-Communist president of Poland since the war, he received the symbols of the Polish Republic (the presidential banner, the presidential and state seals, the presidential sashes, and the original text of the 1935 Constitution) from the last president of the government in exile, Ryszard Kaczorowski.
A self-adhesive stamp is a postage stamp with a pressure-sensitive adhesive that does not require moistening in order to adhere to paper.
They were first issued by such tropical climates as Sierra Leone in February 1964 and Tonga in April 1969 in an attempt to avoid the tendency of traditional water-activated stamps to stick together in humid conditions.
The United States Postal Service's first foray into self-adhesive stamps was in 1974 with the 10-cent dove weathervane, produced by Avery Dennison, that soon became discolored due to the instability of the adhesive.
They also found them difficult to remove from covers, and to save in mint condition, though self-adhesives of recent years have improved in these respects.
Tabrez was a chemist from the UK who, while working at Avery Label Center of Excellence arrived at the best technological solution and subsequently drove the product to market.
The British Post Office first issued self-adhesive stamps on October 19, 1993, with the introduction of books of 20 first class stamps, later a second class stamp was introduced.
Die cutting tools for the UK self adhesive stamps were manufactured by Arden Dies of Stockport, Cheshire using tools designed by Robert Clapham.
Outside of the philatelic community, the stamps have been welcomed as more convenient; by 2002, virtually all new USPS stamps were issued as self-adhesives.
Some collectors of used stamps have discovered that although not readily removable by water, the self-adhesives can be removed with Bestine (a hexane solvent), benzine (petroleum ether), or a natural based citrus solvent containing d-limonene (e.g., Pure Citrus Orange is an air freshener product that works for this purpose).
Joining ASCAP in 1917, his chief musical collaborators included Miltor Ager, Walter Donaldson, Fred Fisher, George Meyer, Joseph Meyer, Jimmy Monaco, Al Sherman, Harry Warren, Percy Wenrich, Harry M. Woods, David Brockman, James Kendis, Archie Gottler, and W. Edward Breuder.
Colin James and the Little Big Band II is a swing-jive album by Canadian musician Colin James, released in 1999 (see 1999 in music).
The year 1953 involved numerous significant events in science and technology, including the first description of the DNA double helix, the discovery of neutrinos, and the release of the first polio vaccine.
The Kiryat Menachem bus bombing was a suicide bombing which occurred on November 21, 2002 in a public bus in the neighborhood of Kiryat Menachem in Jerusalem, Israel.
On November 21, 2002, at around 7:00 am, Palestinian suicide bomber Na'el Abu Hilail, wearing an explosives belt packed with five-kilograms of explosives and shrapnel, boarded the public bus on Mexico Street in Jerusalem.
The suicide bomber detonated the explosives in the crowded bus, before the bus reached the next stop, while the bus was in the suburban neighborhood of Kiryat Menachem.
Hamas took credit for the attack, which was carried out by Na'el Abu Hilail, 22, from el-Khader, just south of Bethlehem.
Born into an influential family, Allen initially favored the colonial cause in the American Revolution, and represented Pennsylvania in the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1776.
Like many other wealthy elites in Pennsylvania, however, he resisted radical change, and became a Loyalist after the Declaration of Independence and the Pennsylvania Constitution of 1776.
His father, William Allen, was a successful merchant and lawyer, and would later be the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
Andrew graduated from the City College of Philadelphia (later the University of Pennsylvania) in 1759, read law under Benjamin Chew, and then went to London to complete a legal education at the Inner Temple.
When tensions increased before the American Revolution, Allen was one of those critical of the Intolerable Acts passed by the British Parliament in 1774.
He signed the non-importation agreement boycotting British goods in protest of the Boston Port Act, and helped form an independent militia unit, the First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry, on November 2, 1774.
Allen hoped that Congress would seek reconciliation with the mother country, and was dismayed when Congress began moving towards independence in 1776.
Radicals in Pennsylvania, however, responded by holding a constitutional convention to create a new constitution and a new, less conservative, General Assembly.
When the Continental Congress began considering a resolution of independence in June 1776, Allen withdrew from Congress, not attending any sessions after June 14.
The situation in Philadelphia had become tense as a British army under General Howe drove George Washington's forces out of New York and towards Pennsylvania.
Houses were broken open, people imprisoned without any color of authority by private persons, and, as was said, a list of 200 disaffected persons made out, who were to be seized, imprisoned, and sent off to North Carolina; in which list, it was said, our whole family was put down.
From whence they went to New York, and there they now are, unhappily separated from their families, and like to be so for some time.
In 1777 Andrew Allen returned to Philadelphia with General Howe's army, but his stay lasted only as long as their occupation, and he returned with them to New York when the British evacuated the city in 1778.
The Pennsylvania Assembly attainted Allen of treason in 1781 and confiscated his properties, along with those of others in his family.
He returned to Philadelphia in 1794 to attempt to recover some of the old payments due to him under the provisions of the Jay Treaty.
The Grand Prix was a line of automobiles produced by the Pontiac Division of General Motors from 1962 through 2002 for coupes and 1988–2008 for sedans.
First introduced as part of Pontiac's full-size car model offering for the 1962 model year, the marque varied repeatedly in size, luxury, and performance during its lifespan.
Among the changes were positioning in the personal luxury car market segment and mid-size car offering from the 2nd generation to the 5th generation for the sedan and from the 2nd generation to the 6th generation from the coupe; it returned to a full-size car from the 6th generation to the 7th generation for the sedan, positioned below the larger Bonneville in Pontiac's model lineup.
The Grand Prix first appeared in the Pontiac line for the 1962 model year, as a performance-oriented replacement for the Ventura, which became a luxury trim level of the full-size Catalina It was essentially a standard Catalina coupe with minimal outside chrome trim and a sportier interior (bucket seats and a center console).
The performance-minded John DeLorean, head of Advanced Engineering at Pontiac, contributed to the development of both the Grand Prix and the GTO.
Early models were available with Pontiac performance options, including the factory-race Super Duty 421 powertrain installed in a handful of 1962 and 1963 cars.
The first Grand Prix was a Catalina hardtop coupe trimmed to standards similar to the larger top-line Bonneville, with a distinctive grille and taillights.
The rear bench seat included a center fold-down armrest and a speaker grille that could be made functional with the extra-cost Bi-Phonic rear speaker.
For 1963, the Grand Prix received revised sheetmetal shared with other full-size Pontiacs, but with its own squared-off roofline with a concave rear window that contrasted with the convertible-like roofline of the 1962 Grand Prix and continued on the 1963 to 1964 Catalina and Bonneville.
Inside, the GP continued with luxurious interiors featuring real walnut trim on the instrument panel and bucket seats upholstered in Morrokide vinyl.
The center console was now built into the instrument panel and featured a vacuum gauge to go along with a dash mounted tachometer (manual transmission).
A wide assortment of options were available including power steering, brakes, windows and driver's seat; air conditioning, eight-lug aluminum wheels with integrated brake drums, Safe-T-Track differential and other items.
A new lineup of optional engines was introduced this year which included the 389 Tri-Power and three versions of the larger 421 in³ V8 including a standard four-barrel version rated at , a Tri-Power option, and the 421 HO option with Tri-Power carburetion and .
Engine offerings were mostly unchanged from 1963 except that the standard 389 four-barrel V8 gained three , with the extra-cost Hydra-matic transmission.
The standard three-speed manual and optional Hydra-matic transmissions were unchanged from 1963, however, a new GM-built Muncie four-speed available in either a wide-ratio M-20 or close-ratio M-21 options replaced the Borg-Warner T-10.
Grand Prixs and all other full-sized Pontiacs were completely restyled for 1965 featuring more rounded bodylines with Coke-bottle profiles, and a increase in wheelbase to (for Grand Prix, Catalina, and all Safari station wagons — Bonneville and Star Chief increased proportionally from to ).
While other Pontiac coupes received the semi-fastback rooflines shared with other GM divisions, Grand Prixs retained the exclusive squared-off roofline with concave rear window but a bit more rounded than the 1963-64 version.
Interiors were revised with all-new instrument panels featuring a larger dose of walnut trim which now extended to the center console standard with bucket seats, along with a new steering wheel with horn bars replacing the horn ring used in previous years.
Optional engines included a 389 Tri-Power and 421 four-barrel — both rated at ; a 421 Tri-Power rated at and the 421 HO Tri-Power with .
The standard three-speed and optional four-speed manual transmissions were carried over from 1964, however, a new three-speed Turbo Hydra-matic transmission with torque-converter that was similar in principle to Ford's Cruise-O-Matic and Chrysler's Torqueflite replaced the older three-speed fluid coupling Roto Hydra-matic (along with the four-speed Super Hydra-matic in Bonneville and Star Chief models).
Other Pontiac road tests in that issue included a GTO convertible, Tempest Custom sedan, Catalina Vista hardtop sedan, and Bonneville hardtop coupe.
The 1966 Grand Prix received only minor appearance revisions from the 1965 edition including a new more rounded split grille and new taillight trim.
Inside, a revised instrument panel included a squared off gauge panel and new Strato bucket seats in either Morrokide or cloth upholstery with higher seatbacks and more contoured cushions for improved lateral support.
The Strato buckets were standard equipment along with a console, but a notchback bench seat with center armrest was a no-cost option.
Engine offerings were largely unchanged from 1965 except that the Tri-Power 389 option was discontinued, leaving only the larger 421 available with the three two-barrel carb option, which was offered for the last time this year due to a new General Motors edict that banned the use of multi-carb options on all GM cars with the exception of the Chevrolet Corvette starting with the 1967 model year.
Also new to the G.P.-concealed headlights with horizontal mounting (all other full-size '67 Pontiacs retained the vertical headlights for one more year), concealed windshield wipers and ventless front windows on hardtop coupes.
Inside, Strato bucket seats and console were still standard equipment with Morrokide vinyl or cloth upholstery, or a no-cost optional notchback bench seat with either trims.
Similarly, the 421 V8 was replaced by a new V8 rated at or an HO version with - both with four-barrel carburetors.
Both the 400 and 428 V8s were basically bored out versions of the older 389/421 block but with various internal improvements including bigger valves and improved breathing capabilities.
The concealed headlights were carried over, and a revised rear deck/bumper with L-shaped taillights and side reflector markers to meet a new federal safety mandate were new.
It featured dramatic bodywork and a highly pronounced grill, and rode on a slightly stretched version of the intermediate GM A platform dubbed the G-Body.
DeLorean and other Pontiac planners saw a way to reverse the declining sales of the full-sized Grand Prix by creating a new niche in the burgeoning personal luxury car market.
Ford and Chrysler responded by producing plusher versions of their intermediate Torino and Charger, but both eventually created newer entries to the intermediate personal luxury car battle—the Ford Elite in 1974 and Chrysler Cordoba in 1975.
The new intermediate-based 1969 Grand Prix began to take shape in April 1967, with a few prototype models built on the full-sized Pontiac platform before the G-Body was ready.
To save both development costs and time in much the same manner Ford created the original 1964 Mustang using the basic chassis and drivetrain from the compact Falcon, the revised Grand Prix would have a unique bodyshell but share the A-body intermediate platform and mechanicals with the Tempest, Le Mans and GTO.
This reduced development time from the usual 36 months required for a new model to less than 18 , allowing Pontiac to concentrate upgrading styling and interior appointments.
Shortened by three inches from the previous Catalina wheelbase, the 1969 Grand Prix finally had its own body – and Pontiac's longest-ever hood.
The basic 1969 body shell saw a major facelift in 1971 bracketed by minor detail revisions in the 1970 and 1972 model years.
The new Grand Prix sought to deliver performance as attention-getting as its styling, with increased installation percentages for manual transmissions and engine options up to the 428 HO.
Two engine sizes were offered with two power options were available in each engine size; a or , as well as a or V8.
A leather trim option which also replaced nylon loop rug with cut-pile carpeting was finally offered in addition to the redoubtable Morrokide vinyl and cloth and Morrokide upholstery offerings.
Pontiac also in 1969 built a steam powered SE 101 concept car with a engine designed by GM engineering in conjunction with the Besler brothers.
Interior trim also received minor revisions, and a bench seat with center armrest returned as a no-cost option to the standard Strato bucket seats and console.
Bench seat-equipped Grand Prixs got a steering column-mounted shifter with the automatic transmission along with a dashboard-mounted glovebox, replacing the console-mounted shifter and glovebox of bucket-seat cars.
The Chevrolet Monte Carlo used the same basic G-body as the GP but with a two-inch shorter wheelbase (116 vs. the GP's 118) and a long hood, though still shorter than the Grand Prix's, but still considered an upscale vehicle for GM's lowest-priced division.
Oldsmobile, whose larger and more expensive front-drive Toronado was a direct competitor to the Thunderbird, decided to further capitalize on strong sales of its intermediate Cutlass line by introducing a new Cutlass Supreme coupe with a formal roofline similar to the GPs but on the standard wheelbase used for two-door A-body intermediates and the same lower sheetmetal used on other Cutlass models.
Both the Monte Carlo and Cutlass Supreme were also much lower in price, primarily due to smaller standard engines for both, and that many items standard on the GP were optional on those models — however, all three cars with similar equipment were actually much closer in price than the base sticker prices suggest.
The introduction of the Monte Carlo and Cutlass Supreme did, however, cut into the Grand Prix's dominance, and sales dropped 40%.
Variations of the 1969 GP's central V-nose grille appeared on other 1970 Pontiacs including the full-sized cars and intermediate Tempest/Le Mans series.
The 1970 Ford Thunderbird styling change was reportedly ordered by Ford Motor Co. president Bunkie Knudsen, who moved from GM to Ford in 1968 after a long career at GM which included the position of general manager for the Pontiac Motor Division from 1956 to 1961 and ordered the addition of the Grand Prix to the 1962 model lineup.
A new integrated bumper/grille and larger single headlights replacing the quad lights of 1969-70 models marked the introduction of the 1971 Grand Prix along with a new slanted boattail-style rear with taillights built into the bumper.
Interior revisions amounted to new trim patterns for cloth and vinyl upholstery patterns for both the bench and bucket seats, but the leather interior option was discontinued.
Engine choices included the standard V8 with four-barrel carburetor and dual exhausts, rated at ; and the optional four-barrel V8 rated at .
Both engines received substantially lower compression ratios (8.4:1 for 1971 compared to 10.25:1 in 1970) as part of a GM-corporate edict that required engines to use lower-octane regular leaded, low lead or unleaded gasoline beginning with the 1971 model year.
Transmission offerings initially were carried over from previous years, including the standard three-speed manual, or optional four-speed stick or Turbo Hydra-Matic.
New power ratings were put into effect, requiring manufacturers to post net horsepower with all accessories installed (vs. gross rating without the accessories).
The base four-barrel engine then produced after the switch to the net-rating system, and the in SJ models also dropped in power to (net).
Customers who wanted the higher powered 455 SJ model paid $195 to get Rally gauges, body-colored mirrors, SJ badging, a no-maintenance AC Delco battery and other amenities.
1971 looked to be a good sales year for the Grand Prix, but in mid-September 1970, a corporate wide labor strike halted all GM production for 67 days.
The strike cut into production and sales along with other possible factors including lower horsepower ratings and intense competition from Chevy's Monte Carlo and Oldsmobile's Cutlass Supreme.
Inside, the burled-elm trim was replaced by a new teakwood design and upholstery trim patterns for vinyl and cloth selections were revised for both bucket and bench seat offerings.
Under the net horsepower measurement system, the standard V8 with four-barrel carburetor was rated at while the optional with four-barrel carb was rated at .
At mid-year, Pontiac released a radial tire option for the Grand Prix, which increased the wheel diameter from the standard to .
This light was located in the speedometer pod and the speedometer was changed from displaying a high of , back to .
However, a 67-day corporate-wide strike at GM in late 1970 that hobbled the 1971 model introduction set back 1972 model production plans and the new A and G-body cars planned for 1972 were delayed for introduction by one year to the 1973 model year.
The most notable styling feature of this generation was the appearance of the fixed opera window, replacing the previous disappearing rear side glass.
Front and rear styling of the 1973 Grand Prix turned out be an evolution of the 1971 and 1972 models with a vertical-bar V-nose grille and single headlamps along with the new federally mandated 5 mph (8 km/h) front bumper.
The Strato bucket seats were completely new with higher seatbacks and integrated headrests in Morrokide or scivvy cloth trims, and optional recliners and adjustable lumbar support, with a notchback bench seat offered as a no-cost option.
Although the Third Generation Grand Prix was indeed bulkier and heavier than its predecessor, handling was good for a large car, due to improvements in suspension design.
The success of the GP (and Monte Carlo) led to direct responses from Ford Motor Company the following year with a larger Ford Elite and Mercury Cougar, which were followed by Chrysler entries in 1975, the Dodge Charger and Chrysler Cordoba.
Out back, the boattail effect was softened somewhat due to a new federally mandated bumper that was added to the similar mandated front bumper introduced in 1973.
The interior trim remained virtually unchanged from 1973, with standard seating choices, including Strato bucket seats with center console or notchback bench seat with an armrest and cloth or Morrokide upholstery.
Also new for 1974 was a federally mandated interlock system that required the driver and front-seat passenger to fasten their seat belts in order to start the car.
This regulation, which was very unpopular with the buying public, was offered only this one year and on some early 1975 models.
Engines were carried over from 1973, including the V8 (standard on the Model J) and (standard on the Model SJ, optional on the Model J).
Sales of Grand Prixs for the 1974 model year dropped from 1973's record of around 150,000 units to just under 100,000 units primarily due to new competition in the intermediate personal-luxury car market from a new upsized Mercury Cougar XR-7 coupe and Ford Elite, both based on the Dearborn's intermediate Torino/Montego platform.
Changes included the addition of GM's High Energy electronic ignition and a catalytic converter that mandated the use of unleaded gasoline.
Speedometers were revised with numerals now topping at rather than the 120 or readings found in previous years and speed readings in kilometers were added.
The V8 (standard on J and LJ models) dropped from 230 to while the (standard on SJ, optional on J and LJ) was detuned from 250 to .
New for 1975 was a more economical with two-barrel carburetor, which was available as a no-cost option on J and LJ models.
Early 1975 models featured the seat belt interlock system introduced on all 1974 models that required both the driver and front passenger to fasten their seat belts in order to start the vehicle.
However, Congressional action to rescind that regulation, which led automakers to discontinue the device and permitted dealers and garages to disconnect the device on cars so-equipped.
Sales dropped to 86,582 units thanks to an aging design, continued recession resulting from the 1973-74 energy crisis, substantially higher prices for all 1975-model cars due to that year's safety and emission control regulations, and intense competition from Ford's Cougar and Elite, and Chrysler Corporation's two new entries in this class including the Chrysler Cordoba and Dodge Charger SE.
The same three model designations continued (J, SJ and LJ) with the LJ and SJ offering the same trim and equipment levels as in 1975 with the exception being the SJ downgraded to a standard V8.
The base Model J underwent a number of content changes to cut the base price by around $500 to be more competitive with other mid-sized personal luxury cars.
Features such as a cushioned steering wheel and custom pedal trim plates became optional on Model J, but remained standard on LJ and SJ, both of which also continued to include Strato bucket seats as standard equipment.
All models got a new simulated rosewood trim for the dash, door panels and console (with bucket seats) that replaced the African Crossfire Mahogany trim of previous years.
Upholstery choices included cloth or Morrokide vinyl bench or bucket seats on the Model J, velour buckets on the LJ or Morrokide buckets on the SJ.
Grand Prix production increased: sales went up to 228,091 units total (a plus of 226%), making this Bicentennial year the best in Grand Prix' history — and second in its class only to the Chevrolet Monte Carlo with 353,272 units.
This included 110,814 base model Js, 88,232 SJs, and 29,045 LJs (including 4,807 Golden Anniversary editions and a single demonstrator with Pontiac's not yet introduced V8 engine.
A complete reworking of the front header and bumper highlighted the 1977 Grand Prix, which was the final year for the 1973-vintage bodyshell that was set to be replaced by a downsized GP for 1978.
The parking lamps were now positioned between the quad headlamps (same setup as a 1967 or 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass), and the previous year's 'waterfall' grille was replaced by a narrower one that extended into the lower portion of the bumper.
In back the taillights were simplified to eliminate the weighty pot metal bezels that created the horizontal stripe effect in 1976.
The base Model J got Pontiac's new V8 as standard equipment, which was much too small and underpowered to propel a 4,000-pound car.
The original thinking on the 301 CID engine was that the weight savings from using a significantly lighter engine would cancel out the horsepower loss from the smaller displacement.
This turned out to be a major miscalculation and 301 equipped cars became much less desirable among Grand Prix enthusiasts and collectors in later years.
The 301 also had a knocking (pre-ignition) problem that was later determined to be caused by the shape of the combustion chamber.
Due to a shortage of Olds 350 engines resulting from record sales of Cutlasses and reduced production of that engine due to a plant conversion to build a Diesel V8 beginning in 1978, a few 1977 Grand Prixs destined for California reportedly came off the line with a Chevrolet-built V8.
Grand Prix sales increased to an all-time high of over 270,000 units for 1977, the last year for this bodystyle, despite competition from a newly downsized and lower-priced Ford Thunderbird introduced this year and a restyled Mercury Cougar XR-7 whose bodyshell switched to the T-Bird this year from the discontinued Ford Torino/Mercury Montego.
In order to meet Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) mandates set after 1973-74 energy crisis, a Buick-built V6 was standard equipment on the base model (formerly the Model J) and two versions of the Pontiac V8 (Chevy V8 in California) were optional.
The luxury LJ model came standard with the 301 V8 with two-barrel carburetor while the sporty SJ was powered by a 301 V8 with four-barrel carburetor.
A floor-mounted three-speed manual transmission was standard equipment with the V6 on the base model and the three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic was optional.
Standard seating choices by model included a notchback bench seat with cloth or Morrokide vinyl in the base GP, a pillowed velour cloth notchback bench seat in the LJ or Strato bucket seats in cloth or Morrokide in the SJ.
The Strato buckets were optional on the base GP and a 60/40 split bench was optional on both base and LJ models.
The same models, base, LJ and SJ continued as before as did the basic engine lineup including the Buick V6 standard on base and LJ models, the Pontiac V8 with two-barrel carburetor that was optional on both of those models, and the 301 V8 with four-barrel carburetion that was standard on the SJ and optional on the other models.
Transmissions remained the same as before with the three-speed manual standard with the V6 engine on the base model and automatic transmission optional.
A new and one-year-only option this year was a four-speed manual transmission available with the four-barrel or two-barrel V8 on all models.
Automatic transmission was standard equipment on all models and the two-barrel Pontiac V8 was replaced by a new V8 rated at .
The Buick 231 V6 and the four-barrel version of the Pontiac 301 V8 were carried over from the previous year as was the Chevy 305 V8 offered in California.
A minor reskinning of the sheetmetal for improved aerodynamics marked the 1981 Grand Prix along with a new grille design and revised tail section.
The Brougham models came standard with all power options, a plush cloth interior similar to the full-sized Bonneville Brougham, and a half roof vinyl top with coach lamps.
All models now came standard with the Buick V6 with the Pontiac V8 available as an extra cost option (Chevy V8 in California).
The V8 was discontinued and a new option this year was the Oldsmobile-built Diesel V8, which was not often ordered due to high cost of around $700 and poor reliability.
The year 1981 was also the last for Pontiac Motor Division to offer its own V8 engine due to an emerging GM corporate engine policy that determined Pontiac would build only four-cylinder engines and Buick only V6 engines, leaving Chevrolet and Oldsmobile to build V8 engines for most GM cars and trucks, while Cadillac would produce its own aluminum-block V8 that debuted in 1982.
No gasoline-powered V8 engines were offered this year (in the U.S. only — Canadian GPs were available with the Chevy 305 V8 as an option in '82), leaving only the standard Buick V6, a larger Buick V6 and the Olds Diesel V8.
Front suspension was independent with wishbones, coil springs, antiroll bars and telescopic shocks while the rear still had a live axle.
One significant engine change to note was the V6 was discontinued and the gas-powered V8 returned after a one-year absence (on U.S. models) in the form of a Chevy .
1983 also marked the end of the LJ series, as the LE model would be added in for model year 1984.
Some minor changes and revisions marked the 1984 Grand Prix, including the return of the octagonal Pontiac hood ornament (which originally debuted in 1976), gauges with orange needles and red markings (previous 1978–1983 Grand Prix gauges had white needles), a T-shaped console shifter, an updated bucket seat design, as well as a woodgrain plate above the glove box (previous 1978–1983 Grand Prixs used a black plate).
A new option this year was the Turbo Hydra-Matic 200-4R four-speed overdrive automatic available with the 305 V8 for improved highway gas mileage.
For 1985, Grand Prix's now included a new checkerboard grille design, as well as an optional two tone paint scheme with a fading body stripe.
1985 marked the last year for the flat rear deck panel in the interior, as by 1986 laws mandated cars to have a third brake light installed.
Some more rarer options specific for the 1985 Pontiac Grand Prix include a factory rear spoiler, rare aluminum turbo finned wheels, and a full size spare tire.
A new 2+2 model was offered for homologation of an aerodynamic coupe body for NASCAR competition, like Chevrolet's 1986 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe.
They have a two-tone paint job with silver on top and gray on the bottom, with 2+2 decals and striping and 15x7 steel Rally II wheels.
Since the enormous rear glass was fixed (not an opening hatch), it forced the adoption of a dramatically shortened trunk opening.
Although it had modest horsepower, benign handling and design compromises, there were only 1,118 Grand Prix 2+2s built in 1986 and dealers were able to ask 20 percent above the list price for this limited production version.
While the 3.8 L V6 remained standard for the regular Grand Prix, a fuel-injected 4.3 L Chevrolet 90° V6 was added to the option list for models other than the 2+2.
Engine offerings again included the standard Buick 3.8 L V6, the Chevrolet 4.3 L V6 or optional Chevrolet 5.0 L V8.
This would be the last year for the G-body Grand Prix, which would be replaced by the all-new W-body version in 1988.
The first front-wheel drive W-body Grand Prix coupes were built in October 1987, and released on January 12, 1988 for the 1988 model year.
SE models upgraded with power front seats with multiple lumbar, side bolster, side wing adjustments, an AM/FM Cassette stereo, and a trip computer and compass located in the center of the dash.
Another unique feature only found on the Grand Prix is the combination lock for the glove box, rather than a key.
Air conditioning was standard, and the 2.8 L was replaced by GM's new 3.1 L MPFI V6 that produced midway through the model year.
For 1989, the 3.1 L was only mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, while the remaining 2.8 was mated to either manual or automatic transmissions.
A new trim level was offered for 1989, a limited-edition turbo coupe that featured an ASC/McLaren turbocharged version of GM's 3.1 L V6 (Only 749 were produced).
The coupe was an SE model with body work such as hood louvers and extra body cladding (which would be the most controversial design element in the years to come).
The full analog gauges would become the 1990-93 sport cluster, and the basis for the new instrument cluster to replace the digital cluster for 1990.
In 1990, the base model was dropped in favor of a sedan version (replacing the 6000 which ended production the next year and the Canada-only Tempest), entering production on September 12, 1989.
A notable introduction for the Grand Prix in 1990 is the new STE (Special Touring Edition) which replaced the STE model of the Pontiac 6000.
Standard features include a cassette stereo with equalizer and eight speakers (a compact disc player was optional), remote keyless entry, eight-way power driver's seat with multiple lumbar and sidewing adjustments for both front seat occupants, and a compass/trip computer that was more informative than the units in the SE and turbo coupes.
An LE sedan was also available for 1990, standard with a 2.3 L Quad 4 engine and a 3-speed automatic, the first use of an inline 4 cylinder engine in a Grand Prix.
The 2.8 L V6 engine was discontinued, while the 3.1 L engine gained widespread availability and a standard five-speed manual transmission.
This model sported a 3.4 L DOHC V6 that produced with a five-speed manual transmission or 200 with the optional four-speed automatic.
The STE Turbo was replaced by a 3.4 L STE and could be ordered with the automatic transmission or manual transmission.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) is optional on all models for 1992, the 2.3 L Quad 4 engine was dropped, and the LE sedan gained the SE/STE front lightbar.
Inside, a new instrument panel hosted dual airbags, much larger and easier to use controls, and seatbelts were moved to the B-pillars rather than the doors on sedans only; coupes retained the automatic seatbelt design.
Under the hood, the 3.1 L V6 was changed to the 3100 SFI V6 with , while the 3.4 L V6 had .
The Grand Prix Sedan also had a slight tail light revision using the amber over red pattern as opposed to the red over amber in years past; however, the coupe's tail lights remained the same.
This is the last year for the fifth generation Grand Prix and this is the last year for the 5th generation mid-sized Grand Prix sedan.
The Grand Prix came as a base SE sedan, or sportier GT coupe or sedan options, as well as with a GTP trim package—available for GT models in either body style.
Replacing the Chevy LQ1 3.4l DOHC v6, an Eaton M90 supercharger option was available on the 3.8L from 1997-2003 (also used in the 1996–2003 Bonneville), with compression ratio decreased from 9.3 to 8.5, boosted horse power to 240.
Front bucket seats came standard, while a 45/55 split bench seat was available as an option on the SE sedan only.
Also on models equipped with 3.8L N/A powerplants (VIN K), the 4T65E 4 speed automatic transmission was used in favor of the 4T60E previously used.
The coolant overflow reservoir was relocated from being in front of the intake box to being mounted to the passenger strut tower.
New standard equipment included rear child-seat anchors and an anti-theft system that disabled the starter unless the proper ignition key was used.
Pontiac also launched a Daytona 500 pace-car replica, with silver paint, unique aluminum wheels, functional hood vents, a NASCAR-inspired decklid spoiler, polished quad exhaust tips, and Daytona decals.
The SE got revised frontal styling in the form of the GT and GTP front bumper cover in place of the older SE-specific front fascia, standard rear spoiler, and in-trunk emergency release; manual dual-zone climate-control replaced the optional electronic automatic unit previously offered.
This package adds the NASCAR-inspired rear spoiler and roof fences, hood-mounted heat extractors, and polished dual-outlet exhaust tips previously offered on the 2000 Pace Car Replica and also adds a two tone interior, 15-spoke chrome wheels, and the requisite badging.
New for 2002 was a $2,695 40th Anniversary option package which included the NASCAR-inspired rear spoiler and roof fences, polished dual-outlet exhaust tips, hood with heat extractors, and 15-spoke chrome wheels previously offered with the 2001 Special Edition package.
Unique elements such as the Dark Cherry Metallic paint, 40th Anniversary badges, and Ruby Red and Graphite interior trim with the 40th Anniversary logo embroidered on the front seats and floormats differentiated this option package from the previous year's offering.
One 40th Anniversary Sedan was further customized with a lowering package, different wheels, and exhaust for SEMA and featured in Hot Rod Magazine as the GP40.
The lowering package, provided by GM Accessories, consisted of new front and rear adjustable springs, adjustable front and rear dampers and Z-rated tires mounted on forged aluminum wheels.
GM Accessories also provided performance brake pads, drilled and slotted brake rotors (front and rear), a cat-back exhaust system, and a low-restriction air filter.
The SE gained standard cruise control and dual-zone climate control, and GTs got a standard power driver's seat and CD player.
The last Grand Prix coupe rolled off the assembly line on July 19, 2002 and it was the last mid-sized 6th generation Grand Prix coupe.
Pontiac dropped the coupe version (2-door) for 2003 and made anti-lock brakes and traction control optional instead of standard on most of the remaining sedans.
In March 2008, GM announced a recall on all 1997–2003 Grand Prix GTP models (as well as sister car Buick Regal GS) due to a problem that causes fires in the engine compartment.
GM sent a letter to the owners of these vehicles on March 13, 2008, instructing them not to park in garages or carports until the problem was resolved.
The recall for the Supercharged engine involved changing the left (front) valve cover gasket, as oil leaks onto the exhaust manifold may cause engine fires.
Some believed this recall did not fix the fire problem, and instead the problem is likely faulty fuel rail quick disconnect o-rings.
In April 2009, the recall already posted for the Supercharged iterations of the 3800 Series II was expanded to cover all 3800 Series II engine-equipped vehicles after many fires were reported with Grand Prix GT and 3.8 L equipped SE versions, as well as the sister car Buick Regal LS.
The recall for the non-supercharged V6 was to remove the front spark plug retainer and a valve cover gasket is not changed on non-supercharged 3.8 engines.
As of May 2008, Grand Prixs from the model years of 01-03 that were outfitted with OnStar cannot be activated due to outdated technology.
The Grand Prix was updated for 2004 on a revised version of the GM W platform and was unveiled at the 2002 Chicago Auto Show on February 7, 2002 as the Grand Prix G-Force Concept.
The GT1 and fancier GT2 have the Series III 3800 V6 engine, putting out 200 hp (150 kW) and 230 lb·ft (310 Nm) of torque, while both GTPs have the supercharged (Eaton Gen 5 Supercharger) 3800 Series III V6 engine with 260 hp (195 kW) and 280 lb·ft (380 Nm) of torque.
A Competition Group (Comp-G) package was available for the GTP that included red painted brake calipers (same brakes as the 'standard' GTP), sport tuned suspension, heads-up display (also in GT2 model), 4-speed automatic transmission with paddle-style TAPShift, StabiliTrak dynamic control system, 3.29 axle ratio, performance tires and Magnasteer II.
Also, a 10-spoke light weight wheel was standard with the Comp-G package but could be 'upgraded' to the GTP optional wheel.
The base model and GT had the naturally aspirated 3.8 L V6, with the GTP having the 3.8 L V6 with supercharger.
When the GXP debuted later in the 2005 model year, the Competition Group was dropped, but several features were retained in a Sport package available on the GTP for the rest of that model year.
The GXP powerplant is the LS4 V8, a 5.3 L Displacement on Demand (active fuel management) engine based on the LS1 block.
The GXP also has a 4-speed automatic transmission with paddle-style TAPshift, heads-up display, vented cross drilled brakes with PBR calipers, performance tuned suspension with Bilstein gas-charged struts (sits about lower than other GP models), Magnasteer II, and StabiliTrak dynamic control system.
Cosmetically, the GXP differs from the other models with more aggressive bodywork including a different front clip, wheel well cooling vents on the front fenders, a different rear bumper, and twin-dual polished exhaust.
The three options are the Grand Prix, powered by the 3800 Series III V6, the GT, now powered by the 3800 Series III Supercharged V6, and the GXP, powered by the LS4 V8.
That model year gave it the car's final update by adding GM badges near the front doors until the Grand Prix was pulled from Pontiac's lineup after 2008.
In 1965, GM of Canada offered a de luxe version of the popular Pontiac Parisienne with the 1965 U.S. Grand Prix grille.
This was followed in 1966 with the Grande Parisienne, which featured the unique American Grand Prix front (complete with hidden headlights in 1967-68), but unlike the U.S. car, was also available as a 4-door hardtop and convertible along with the hardtop coupe.
The 4-door and convertible versions had the same roofline as the standard Pontiacs while the coupe got the distinctive U.S. Grand Prix body styling.
This model was offered until 1969, when the Grande Parisienne became a premium version of the Parisienne and the U.S. car became mid-size.
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) B27 (subtypes B*2701-2759) is a class I surface antigen encoded by the B locus in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6 and presents antigenic peptides (derived from self and non-self antigens) to T cells.
Diseases associated with the HLA-B27 subtype can be remembered with the mnemonic PAIR, and include Psoriasis, Ankylosing spondylitis, Inflammatory bowel disease, and Reactive arthritis.
For example, about 8% of Caucasians, 4% of North Africans, 2-9% of Chinese, and 0.1-0.5% of persons of Japanese descent possess the gene that codes for this antigen.
Though it is associated with a wide range of pathology, particularly seronegative spondyloarthropathy, it does not appear to be the sole mediator in development of disease.
For example, while 90% of people with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are HLA-B27 positive, only a small fraction of people with HLA-B27 ever develop AS.
These theories consider a specific combination of antigen peptide sequence and the binding groove (B pocket) of HLA-B27 (which will have different properties to the other HLA-B alleles).
Alternatively, cell surface B27 heavy chains and dimers can bind to regulatory immune receptors such as members of the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor family, promoting the survival and differentiation of pro-inflammatory leukocytes in disease.
The proposed conformational transition is thought to allow the newly-generated coiled region (incorporating residues 'RRYLENGKETLQR' which have also been found to be naturally bound to HLA-B27 as a 9-mer peptide) to bind to either the peptide-binding cleft of the same polypeptide chain (in an act of self-display) or to the cleft of another polypeptide chain (in an act of cross-display).
Cross-display is proposed to lead to the formation of large, soluble, high molecular weight (HMW), degradation-resistant, long-surviving aggregates of the HLA-B27 heavy chain.
Together with any homodimers formed either by cross-display or by a disulfide-linked homodimerization mechanism, it is proposed that such HMW aggregates survive on the cell surface without undergoing rapid degradation, and stimulate an immune response.
In addition to its association with ankylosing spondylitis, HLA-B27 is implicated in other types of seronegative spondyloarthropathy as well, such as reactive arthritis, certain eye disorders such as acute anterior uveitis and iritis, psoriatic arthritis and ulcerative colitis associated spondyloarthritis.
In 2000, Malini won the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award and also the Padma Shri, the fourth-highest civilian honour awarded by the Government of India.
In 2012, the Sir Padampat Singhania University conferred an Honorary Doctorate on Malini in recognition of her contribution to Indian cinema.
In 2006, Malini received the Sopori Academy of Music And Performing Arts (SaMaPa) Vitasta award from Bhajan Sopori in Delhi for her contribution and service to Indian culture and dance.
From 2003 to 2009, Malini was elected to the Rajya Sabha, the upper House of parliament, as a representative of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Malini was the third child born of a Tamil Iyengar family to her mother Jaya Lakshmi Chakravarti, a film producer, and VSR Chakravarti.
Dharmendra was already married at the time and had children, two of whom are Bollywood actors Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol.
On 11 June 2015, Hema Malini became grandmother when her younger daughter Ahana Deol gave birth to her first child, Darien Vohra.
On 20 October 2017, she became grandmother for the second time when her elder daughter, Esha Deol Takhtani gave birth to a baby girl.
In 1999, Malini campaigned for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate, Vinod Khanna, a former Bollywood actor, in the Lok Sabha Elections in Gurdaspur, Punjab.
From 2003 to 2009, she served as an MP to the upper housethe Rajya Sabha, having been nominated by the then President of India, Dr. A.P.J.
In March 2010, Malini was made general secretary of the BJP, and in February 2011, she was recommended by Ananth Kumar, the party general secretary.
On 22 April 2017, Malini said she would take action against Maharashtra independent MLA Omprakash Babarao Kadu for making derogatory comments against her earlier days.
In 2009, she wrote a letter to the Mumbai Municipal Commissioner urging him to ban horse carriages from Mumbai's busy streets.
In 2007, she performed in Mysuru on the eve of Dussera, where she played the roles of Sati, Parvati and Durga.
In 2000, Malini was appointed as the first female chairperson of the National Film Development Corporation for a term of three years.
The Shmuel HaNavi bus bombing was the suicide bombing of a crowded public bus (Egged bus 2) in the Shmuel HaNavi quarter in Jerusalem, Israel, on August 19, 2003.
On August 19, 2003 (22 Av 5763), a Hamas suicide bomber sent out by the organization's Hebron cell disguised himself as a Haredi Jew and detonated himself on a No.
The European Commission strongly condemns last night's devastating terrorist attack in Jerusalem and expresses its sincere condolences to the families of the victims and to the Israeli Government.
The European Commission calls on the Palestinian Authority to do everything in its powers to prevent such unacceptable and unjustified act of violence, and urges the PA and the Israeli Government to pursue their dialogue and common efforts towards peace as set out in the Road Map.
Following the attack, Israeli forces arrested 17 Palestinians suspected of being Hamas activists, including several of the bomber's relatives, while Hamas leader Ismail Abu Shanab and his two bodyguards were killed by an Israeli helicopter missile strike in Gaza.
He is best known for his story of survival and retribution after being left for dead by companions when he was mauled by a grizzly bear.
Born in Pennsylvania to Irish parents, Glass became an explorer of the watershed of the Upper Missouri River, in present-day Montana, the Dakotas, and the Platte River area of Nebraska.
They both portray the survival struggle of Glass, who (in the best historical accounts) crawled and stumbled to Fort Kiowa, South Dakota after being abandoned without supplies or weapons by fellow explorers and fur traders during General Ashley's expedition of 1823.
Another version of the story was told in an episode of Death Valley Days titled 'Hugh Glass Meets a Bear', with a release date of March 24, 1966.
He was reported to have been captured by pirates under the command of Gulf of Mexico chief Jean Lafitte off the coast of Texas in 1816, and was forced to become a pirate for up to two years.
Many of them, who later earned reputations as famous mountain men, also joined the enterprise, including James Beckwourth, John S. Fitzgerald, David Jackson, William Sublette, Jim Bridger, Thomas Fitzpatrick, and Jedediah Smith.
In June 1823 they met up with many of the men that had joined in 1822, and were attacked by Arikara warriors.
Andrew Henry, Ashley's partner, had joined the group, and he along with Glass and several others set out overland to the Yellowstone River.
Near the forks of the Grand River, near present-day Shadehill Reservoir, Perkins County, South Dakota, while scouting for game for the expedition larder, Glass surprised and disturbed a grizzly bear with two cubs.
The men were convinced Glass would not survive his injuries; nevertheless, they carried Glass on a litter for two days, but doing so greatly slowed the pace of the group's travel.
Later, claiming that they were interrupted by attacking Arikara, the pair grabbed the rifle, knife, and other equipment belonging to Glass and took flight.
Glass lay mutilated and alone, more than 200 miles (320 km) from the nearest American settlement at Fort Kiowa, on the Missouri River.
Glass set the bone of his own leg, wrapped himself in the bear hide his companions had placed over him as a shroud, and began crawling back to Fort Kiowa.
Using Thunder Butte as a navigational landmark, Glass crawled overland south toward the Cheyenne River where he fashioned a crude raft and floated downstream to Fort Kiowa.
A note indicated that Andrew Henry and company had relocated to a new camp at the mouth of the Bighorn River.
Glass reportedly spared Fitzgerald's life because he would be killed by the army captain for killing a soldier of the United States Army.
However, the captain asked Fitzgerald to return the stolen rifle to Glass, and before departing Glass warned Fitzgerald never to leave the army, or he would still kill him.
Their leader, who was known by Glass, declared the tribe to be friendly and invited them in so the men went ashore.
While smoking with him in his lodge, Glass noticed their equipment being taken by the residents and realized it was a trap.
Glass managed to hide behind some rocks until the Arikara gave up their search, but was separated from the two other survivors.
He was relieved to find his knife and flint in his shot pouch and traveled to Fort Kiowa, surviving off the land.
Glass was killed along with two of his fellow trappers in early spring of 1833 on the Yellowstone River in an attack by the Arikara.
A monument to Glass now stands near the site of his mauling on the southern shore of the present-day Shadehill Reservoir in Perkins County, South Dakota, at the forks of the Grand River.
Exoenzymes are produced by both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and have been shown to be a crucial component of many biological processes.
The breakdown of these larger macromolecules is critical for allowing their constituents to pass through the cell membrane and enter into the cell.
For humans and other complex organisms, this process is best characterized by the digestive system which breaks down solid food via exoenzymes.
Bacteria and fungi also produce exoenzymes to digest nutrients in their environment, and these organisms can be used to conduct laboratory assays to identify the presence and function of such exoenzymes.
In addition to the integral roles in biological systems, different classes of microbial exoenzymes have been used by humans since pre-historic times for such diverse purposes as food production, biofuels, textile production and in the paper industry.
Based on the book, it can be assumed that the first known exoenzymes were pepsin and trypsin, as both are mentioned by Vernon to have been discovered by scientists Briike and Kiihne before 1908.
The metabolic activity of the exoenzymes allows the bacterium to invade host organisms by breaking down the host cells' defensive outer layers or by necrotizing body tissues of larger organisms.
Many gram-negative bacteria have injectisomes, or flagella-like projections, to directly deliver the virulent exoenzyme into the host cell using a type three secretion system.
After moving through the rough endoplasmic reticulum, they are processed through the Golgi apparatus, where they are packaged in vesicles and released out of the cell.
In humans, a majority of such exoenzymes can be found in the digestive system and are used for metabolic breakdown of macronutrients via hydrolysis.
Bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus use the enzyme to form a layer of fibrin around their cell to protect against host defense mechanisms.
S. aureus can also produce staphylokinase, allowing them to dissolve the clots they form, to rapidly diffuse into the host at the correct time.
Bacteria such as Clostridium do so by using the enzyme to dissolve collagen and hyaluronic acid, the protein and saccharides, respectively, that hold tissues together.
Attacking and lysing these cells allows the pathogen to harm the host organism, and also provides it with a source of iron from the lysed hemoglobin, like the fungus Candida albicans.
These enzymes are grouped into three classes based on their amino acid sequences, mechanism of reaction, method of catalysis and their structure.
The α-amylases hydrolyze starch by randomly cleaving the 1,4-a-D-glucosidic linkages between glucose units, β-amylases cleave non-reducing chain ends of components of starch such as amylose, and glucoamylases hydrolyze glucose molecules from the ends of amylose and amylopectin.
In humans, amylases are secreted by both the pancreas and salivary glands with both sources of the enzyme required for complete starch hydrolysis.
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a type of digestive enzyme that helps regulate the uptake of triacylglycerols from chylomicrons and other low-density lipoproteins from fatty tissues in the body.
Pectinases, also called pectolytic enzymes, are a class of exoenzymes that are involved in the breakdown of pectic substances, most notably pectin.
Pectinases can be classified into two different groups based on their action against the galacturonan backbone of pectin: de-esterifying and depolymerizing.
With an impulse from the vagus nerve, pepsinogen is secreted into the stomach, where it mixes with hydrochloric acid to form pepsin.
Pepsin works best at the pH of gastric acid, 1.5 to 2.5, and is deactivated when the acid is neutralized to a pH of 7.
This enzyme is responsible for the breakdown of large globular proteins and its activity is specific to cleaving the C-terminal sides of arginine and lysine amino acid residues.
If a reaction does not occur, this means that the bacteria does not create an exoenzyme capable of interacting with the surroundings.
If a reaction does occur, it becomes clear that the bacteria does possess an exoenzyme, and which macromolecule is hydrolyzed determines its identity.
Since iodine binds to starch but not its digested byproducts, a clear area will appear where the amylase reaction has occurred.
If the bacteria has lipase, a clear streak will form in the agar, and the dye will fill the gap, creating a dark blue halo around the cleared area.
Microbiological sources of exoenzymes including amylases, proteases, pectinases, lipases, xylanases, cellulases among others are used for a wide range of biotechnological and industrial uses including biofuel generation, food production, paper manufacturing, detergents and textile production.
Optimizing the production of biofuels has been a focus of researchers in recent years and is centered around the use of microorganisms to convert biomass into ethanol.
The enzymes that are of particular interest in ethanol production are cellobiohydrolase which solubilizes crystalline cellulose and xylanase that hydrolyzes xylan into xylose.
One model of biofuel production is the use of a mixed population of bacterial strains or a consortium that work to facilitate the breakdown of cellulose materials into ethanol by secreting exoenzymes such as cellulases and laccases.
In addition to the important role it plays in biofuel production, xylanase is utilized in a number of other industrial and biotechnology applications due to its ability to hydrolyze cellulose and hemicellulose.
These applications include the breakdown of agricultural and forestry wastes, working as a feed additive to facilitate greater nutrient uptake by livestock, and as an ingredient in bread making to improve the rise and texture of the bread.
Lipases make ideal enzymes for these applications because they are highly selective in their activity, they are readily produced and secreted by bacteria and fungi, their crystal structure is well characterized, they do not require cofactors for their enzymatic activity, and they do not catalyze side reactions.
The range of uses of lipases encompasses production of biopolymers, generation of cosmetics, use as a herbicide, and as an effective solvent.
However, perhaps the most well known use of lipases in this field is its use in the production of biodiesel fuel.
In this role, lipases are used to convert vegetable oil to methyl- and other short-chain alcohol esters by a single transesterification reaction.
In the food industry these exoenzymes are used in the production of fruit juices, fruit nectars, fruit purees and in the extraction of olive oil among many others.
In addition to the role they play in food production, cellulases are used in the textile industry to remove excess dye from denim, soften cotton fabrics and restore the color brightness of cotton fabrics.
Cellulases and hemicellulases (including xylanases) are also used in the paper and pulp industry to de-ink recycled fibers, modify coarse mechanical pulp and for the partial or complete hydrolysis of pulp fibers.
Cellulases and hemicellulases are used in these industrial applications due to their ability to hydrolyze the cellulose and hemicellulose components found in these materials.
Bioremediation is a process in which pollutants or contaminants in the environment are removed through the use of biological organisms or their products.
The removal of these often hazardous pollutants is mostly carried out by naturally occurring or purposely introduced microorganisms that are capable of breaking down or absorbing the desired pollutant.
The types of pollutants that are often the targets of bioremediation strategies are petroleum products (including oil and solvents) and pesticides.
In addition to the microorganisms ability to digest and absorb the pollutants, their secreted exoenzymes play an important role in many bioremediation strategies.
Fungi have been shown to be viable organisms to conduct bioremediation and have been used to aid in the decontamination of a number of pollutants including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, synthetic dyes, chlorophenols, explosives, crude oil and many others.
One critical aspect of fungi in regards to bioremediation is that they secrete these oxidative exoenzymes from their ever elongating hyphal tips.
Some of the pollutants that laccases have been used to treat include dye-containing effluents from the textile industry, wastewater pollutants (chlorophenols, PAHs, etc.
There are many examples of the use of bacteria for this purpose and their exoenzymes encompass many different classes of bacterial enzymes.
Of particular interest in this field are bacterial hydrolases as they have an intrinsic low substrate specificity and can be used for numerous pollutants including solid wastes.
Cell-free use of microbial exoenzymes as agents of bioremediation is also possible although their activity is often not as robust and introducing the enzymes into certain environments such as soil has been challenging.
In addition to terrestrial based microorganisms, marine based bacteria and their exoenzymes show potential as candidates in the field of bioremediation.
Marine based bacteria have been utilized in the removal of heavy metals, petroleum/diesel degradation and in the removal of polyaromatic hydrocarbons among others.
Helenius Acron (or Acro) was a Roman commentator and grammarian, probably of the 3rd century AD, but whose precise date is not known.
The fragments which remain of the work on Horace, though much mutilated, are valuable, as containing the remarks of the older commentators, Quintus Terentius Scaurus and others.
He graduated from Archbishop Wood Catholic High School in 1973, following an education at Richboro Junior High (currently Richboro Middle School).
Following graduation from flight school, he flew F-4 Phantoms from 1980 to 1983 with squadron VMFA-312 at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina, and was assigned as Aircraft Maintenance Officer.
He was selected by Headquarters Marine Corps for fleet introduction of the F/A-18 Hornet, and was assigned to VMFA-531 in Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, California, from 1983 to 1986.
During his stay in VMFA-531, he was assigned as the squadron operations officer, and also attended and graduated from the Marine Weapons & Tactics Instructor Course, and the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School (Top Gun).
Naval Test Pilot School at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, he was a test pilot under instruction when advised of his selection to the astronaut program.
He also received: Honorary Doctorate of Public Service from Bucks County Community College (1993); Honorary Doctorate of Engineering Science from Villanova University (1997) and Honorary Doctorate of Science from Daniel Webster College (1998).
He has since served in various industry leadership positions, including President of the FIRST Foundation (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), Associate Program Manager for Ground Operations with United Space Alliance, and is currently a Vice President and General Manager with Jacobs Technology.
Principal payloads of the mission were the United States Microgravity Payload 2 (USMP-2) and the Office of Aeronautics and Space Technology 2 (OAST-2) package.
STS-75 was a 16-day mission with principal payloads being the reflight of the Tethered Satellite System (TSS) and the third flight of the United States Microgravity Payload (USMP-3).
The TSS experiment produced a wealth of new information on the electrodynamics of tethers and plasma physics before the tether broke at 19.7 km, just shy of the 20.7 km goal.
The crew also worked around the clock performing combustion experiments and research related to USMP-3 microgravity investigations used to improve production of medicines, metal alloys, and semiconductors.
The eldest son of the reigning British monarch inherits possession of the duchy and title of Duke of Cornwall at birth or when his parent succeeds to the throne, but may not sell assets for personal benefit and has limited rights and income as a minor.
When the monarch has no male children, the rights and responsibilities of the duchy revert to the Crown and there is no duke.
The Prince's Council is a non-executive body which provides advice to the duke with regard to the management of the Duchy.
The duchy also exercises certain legal rights and privileges across Cornwall, including some that elsewhere in England belong to the Crown.
The duke appoints a number of officials in the county and acts as the port authority for the main harbour of the Isles of Scilly.
The tax exempt status of the duchy has been challenged; and, since 1993, the Duke of Cornwall, the Prince of Wales, has voluntarily paid income tax on the duchy income, less amounts that he considers to be official expenditure.
The majority of the estate lies outside Cornwall, with half being on Dartmoor in Devon, with other large holdings in Herefordshire, Somerset and almost all of the Isles of Scilly.
This right to ownerless property operates in favour of the duchy rather than the Crown, such that the property of anyone who dies in the county of Cornwall without a will or identifiable heirs, and assets belonging to dissolved companies whose registered office was in Cornwall, pass to the duchy.
The Duke of Cornwall has the 'interest in possession' of the duchy's assets (such as estates) which means they enjoy its net income, do not have its outright ownership and do not have the right to sell capital assets for their own benefit.
In 1913 the Government Law Officers gave an opinion that the Duke of Cornwall is not liable to taxation on income from the Duchy.
However, since 1993 Prince Charles has voluntarily agreed to pay income tax at the normal rates (see: Finances of the British Royal Family).
Since the passing into law of the Sovereign Grant Act 2011, revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall will pass to the heir to the throne, regardless of whether that heir is the Duke of Cornwall.
In the event that the heir is a minor, 10% of the revenues will pass to the heir, with the balance passing to the Crown.
This paid for most of the official and charitable activities of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, as well as the official offices of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.
The charter established that the Duke of Cornwall is to be the eldest surviving son of the monarch and the heir to the throne.
The charter afforded the duke certain rights and responsibilities in the county, including the right to appoint the county's sheriff and to the profits from the county courts, the stannaries and the ports.
The duchy estate, which was based on the holdings of the previous earls, did not comprise the whole of the county, and much of it lay outside Cornwall.
The extent of the estate has varied as various holdings have been sold and others acquired over the years, both within Cornwall and in other counties.
We have made and created Henry our most dear first-begotten Son, Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall and Earl of Chester, and have given and granted, and by our Charter have confirmed to him the said Principality, Duchy, and Earldom, that he may preside there, and by presiding, may direct and defend the said parts.
From 1547 to 1603, there was no male royal heir to hold the title of duke, and the duchy reverted to the Crown, in effect becoming a department of the Exchequer.
On the death of King Charles I, the Crown lands came under the control of Parliament; this lasted until the restoration of King Charles II in 1660.
In August 1980 the Highgrove estate was purchased by the Duchy of Cornwall for a figure believed to be between £800,000 and £1,000,000 with funds raised for its purchase by the sale of three properties from the duchy's holdings, including part of the village of Daglingworth in Gloucestershire.
In 1988, West Dorset District Council allocated land in the ducal estate, west of Dorchester, for housing development, which became known as Poundbury.
The Duchy Originals company was set up in 1992 to use produce from farms on the ducal estate, with some proceeds going to his charities.
In 1995, the duchy granted a 99-year lease of the uninhabited islets of the Isles of Scilly, plus the untenanted land on the five inhabited islands, to the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust for an annual payment of a single daffodil.
On 7 February 2005, the Duchy of Cornwall's finances came under public scrutiny by the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee.
Under the Land Registration Act 2002, the Duchy was required by October 2013 to have filed with the Land Registry mineral rights given to the Duchy in 1337.
Some land owners of Talskiddy were surprised that these rights would be expressly inserted into their registers of title upon being informed of the filing in February 2012.
The TEDC project would see a park and ride, a recycling centre, 110 homes and a Waitrose at the junction of Union Hill and Newquay Road.
The duchy owns ( – 0.20% of UK land) over 23 counties, including farming, residential, and commercial properties, as well as an investment portfolio.
The Duchy owns The Oval cricket ground in London, which was built on land in Kennington that formed part of the original Duchy estate.
The intention is that Nansledan will evolve into a community of more than 4,000 homes supporting a similar number of jobs.
The duke owns freehold about three-fifths of the Cornish foreshore and the 'fundus', or bed, of navigable rivers and has right of wreck on all ships wrecked on Cornish shores, including those afloat offshore, and also to royal fish—i.e.
The High Sheriff of Cornwall is appointed by the Duke of Cornwall, not the monarch, in contrast to the other counties of England and Wales.
Historically all justices of the assizes who visited Cornwall were also permanent members of the Prince's Council which oversees the Duchy of Cornwall and advises the duke.
There are on record at least three instances in which the prince overruled the king by instructing his officials to ignore or disobey orders issued to them by the King's Chancery.
In 2012, following a ruling that the duchy was separate from Prince Charles for the purposes of regulation, Republic (the campaign for an elected head of state) asked HM Revenue and Customs to investigate whether the duchy should still be exempt from tax.
The tax exemption is based on the assumption that the duchy estate is inseparable from the tax exempt person of Prince Charles.
Since 1993, the Prince of Wales has voluntarily paid income tax on the duchy income less amounts which he considers to be official expenditure.
The Prince paid a voluntary contribution to the treasury of 50% of his Duchy income from the time he became eligible for its full income at the age of 21 in 1969, and paid 25% from his marriage in 1981 until the current arrangement commenced in 1993.
Tax is calculated after deducting official expenditure, the biggest source of which is the Prince's staff of about 110 who assist with his performance of official duties, including private secretaries and a valet working in his office at Clarence House and at Highgrove House.
Traditionally, Cornish people refer to the Duke of Cornwall in the Loyal Toast, much like the Duke of Normandy in the Channel Islands.
After school, she sang for hours along to the records of such popular artists as Reba McEntire, Linda Ronstadt, Juice Newton, Jeanne Pruett, Connie Smith, and Patsy Cline.
Then, in 1987, Schiff gathered a group of musicians called Lotus and started looking for rehearsal space; she began renting space from studio engineer John McBride.
In 1990, impressed by Martina's enthusiastic spirit, Brooks offered her the position of his opening act provided she could obtain a recording contract.
During this time, while her husband was working with country artists Charlie Daniels and Ricky Van Shelton, he also helped produce her demo tape, which helped her gain a recording contract with RCA Nashville Records in 1991.
This album's title track made number 23 on the country music charts, but the next two singles both failed to make top 40.
Towards the end of 1998, the album was certified double platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling two million units.
This album has been certified 3× Platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America, and is her highest-selling album.
In 2004, McBride won the CMA's Female Vocalist award for the fourth time, following the wins in 2003, 2002 and 1999, which tied her for the most wins in that category with Reba McEntire.
To make the album fit its older style, McBride and her husband hired older Nashville session players and outdated analog equipment.
The remaining five finalists traveled to Nashville, where McBride worked with the competitors on the songs they had chosen by country artists such as Gordon Lightfoot and Patsy Cline.
She set up her Waking Up Laughing Tour in 2007, which included country artists Rodney Atkins, Little Big Town, and Jason Michael Carroll.
McBride also initiated the Shine All Night Tour, a co-headlining venture with fellow country star and friend Trace Adkins and opening act Sarah Buxton.
Band Against Cancer is a community-based movement led by Sarah Cannon (the cancer institute of HCA) in partnership with Big Machine Label Group and McBride, which aims to raise awareness, support and resources to those battling cancer.
In 1988, McBride married sound engineer John McBride and the couple have three daughters: Delaney Katharine (born December 22, 1994), Emma Justine (born March 29, 1998) and Ava Rose Kathleen (born June 20, 2005).
Last year, we decided we wanted to give it a better name, a name that sounded as important as it is, so we changed it to 'Team Music is Love,' since it's about spreading love through music.
McBride has received a number of awards, including the Country Music Association Award (CMA) for Female Vocalist of the Year, with her fourth win in 2004.
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) is one of the institutes and centers that make up the National Institutes of Health, an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
NIAMS' mission is to support research into arthritis, musculoskeletal and skin diseases PDCTC; the training of basic and clinical scientists to carry out this research; and the dissemination of information on research progress in these diseases.
93-640) established the National Commission on Arthritis and Related Musculoskeletal Diseases to study the problem of arthritis and to develop an arthritis plan.
The act established the position of Associate Director for arthritis and related musculoskeletal diseases and authorized an interagency arthritis coordinating committee; community demonstration project grants; an arthritis data bank; an information clearinghouse; and comprehensive centers for research, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and education.
April 1976—After a year of study and public hearings, the commission issued a comprehensive plan aimed at diminishing the physical, economic and psychosocial effects of arthritis and musculoskeletal diseases.
94-562) established the National Arthritis Advisory Board to review and evaluate the implementation of the Arthritis Plan, prepared in response to the National Arthritis Act (P.L.
1982—HHS conferred bureau status on the Institute, resulting in the creation of the Division of Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases and the appointment of a Division Director.
The legislation provided for the development of a plan for a national arthritis and musculoskeletal diseases program and established two interagency coordinating committees, one on arthritis and musculoskeletal diseases and one on skin diseases.
106-310) directed NIAMS to expand and intensify research programs on juvenile arthritis and related conditions, in coordination with other NIH Institutes and the Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases Interagency Coordinating Committee.
107-84), called on several components of the NIH, including the NIAMS, to enhance research on muscular dystrophy, including establishing Centers of Excellence.
108-7) directed Office of the Secretary, HHS, to establish a Federal working group on lupus for the purpose of exchanging information and coordinating Federal efforts regarding lupus research and education initiatives.
In addition, the Muscular Dystrophy Coordinating Committee was authorized to give special consideration to enhance the clinical research infrastructure to test emerging therapies.
NIAMS supports a multidisciplinary program of basic, translational and clinical investigations; epidemiologic research; research centers; and research training for scientists internally and via grants to universities and medical schools.
It also supports the dissemination of research results and information through the NIAMS Information Clearinghouse and through the NIH Osteoporosis and Related Bone Diseases National Resource Center.
Approximately 10 percent of NIAMS’ funding supports research and training activities carried out by NIAMS scientists on its campus in Bethesda, Maryland (including the NIH Clinical Center).
Most NIAMS funding supports investigators involved in a wide spectrum of basic, clinical, epidemiologic, training, and other programs in universities, medical schools, academic health centers, and small business concerns.
Division of Extramural Research Activities—manages NIAMS' grants, policies and procedures, including grant oversight and contract administration, scientific review and clinical research functions.
It serves as the primary liaison for NIAMS with the NIH Office of Extramural Research and with other Institutes that share research interests.
It handles scientific integrity and ethical questions in research and manages the NIAMS Council, a congressionally mandated second tier of the NIH peer review system.
These include applications for Centers, program projects, multi-site clinical trials, scientific meetings and training and career development, as well as applications responding to initiatives published by NIAMS.
Its mission is to promote and support basic, translational and clinical studies of the skin in normal and disease states, leading to PDCTC for rheumatic and related diseases.
This includes work that advances the understanding of the natural history of these disorders, as well as mechanisms of disease susceptibility and development.

Research is underway to better understand keratinizing disorders such as psoriasis and ichthyosis; disorders of pigmentation such as vitiligo; and bullous diseases such as pemphigus, pemphigoid, and epidermolysis bullosa.
Other studies encompass acne and the physiologic activity of the sebaceous glands, as well as disorders of the hair, such as alopecia areata.
This group supports PDCTC research on diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system and its component tissues: the skeleton, muscles and connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments.
Research areas include: regulation of bone remodeling; mechanisms of bone formation, bone resorption and mineralization; and effects of hormones, growth factors and cytokines on bone cells.
The programs emphasize the application of fundamental knowledge of bone cell biology to the development of drug and gene therapies for bone diseases, especially osteoporosis.
This program area supports several large epidemiologic cohorts for the characterization of the natural history of osteoporosis and for the identification of genetic and environmental risk factors that contribute to bone disease.
Particular interests include the basic biology of satellite and muscle stem cells, excitation-contraction coupling, muscle metabolism and adaptation of muscle to exercise.
The programs address a need for translational research to develop discoveries that enhance treatment and improve management of muscle and musculoskeletal diseases and disorders.
Research targets muscular dystrophies, inflammatory myopathies, muscle ion channel diseases, and muscle disorders such as disuse atrophy and age-related loss of muscle mass.
Musculoskeletal Biology and Diseases—understanding the fundamental biology of tissues that constitute the musculoskeletal system, and on applying this knowledge to related disorders.
PDCTC Research includes the study of acute and chronic injuries—including carpal tunnel syndrome, repetitive stress injury, and low back pain—and osteoarthritis.
Therapeutic approaches of interest include drugs, nutrition, joint replacement (including biomaterials and implant science), bone and cartilage transplantation and gene therapy.
NIAMS scientists explore genetic databases that provide insights into the immune-system defects that underlie rare inflammatory diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis.
For example, an intramural investigator’s discovery of an immune system protein led to the identification of therapeutic targets for multiple rheumatic conditions.
This led to work facilitated by two Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) between NIH and industry and ultimately U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of an oral rheumatoid arthritis medication that represents a new class of drugs.
Signal transduction pathways that differentiate normal and pathological immune responses are studied in mouse models and human tissue samples and researches targeted immune suppression therapies.
The tumor necrosis factor-family of cytokines and their receptors are a current focus, from molecular trafficking and signaling to the study of human diseases.
Specific attention is paid to progenitor cells obtained from human tissue samples and their trophic and differentiation properties involved in tissue repair and regeneration.
Studies focus on the development and testing of measures of health and disease, identification of predictors of good and poor health outcomes, examination of treatment effectiveness, and investigations of socioeconomic and ethnic disparities in health outcomes.
Community Research and Care Branch—coordinates the NIAMS Community Health Center, a health information resource and medical center that carries out research and provides health services to arthritis, lupus, and other rheumatic disease patients.
LMI includes the Molecular Immunology Section and the Genomics and Immunity Section that study the molecular underpinnings of inflammation regulation in both health and disease.
Laboratory of Muscle Stem Cells and Gene Regulation—investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate differentiation and regeneration of skeletal muscle.
It examines various types of stem cells to generate neurological disease models, to discover and test drugs, and to develop replacement therapies for neurodegenerative diseases and disorders.
Laboratory of Structural Biology Research—studies the structural basis of the assembly and functioning of macromolecules and their complexes (such as viruses and cytoskeletal proteins), and the mechanisms and proteins that control their assembly.
These studies make extensive use of cryoelectron microscopy and three-dimensional image processing in studies of virus infection and replication; renewal of the epidermis, with maintenance of barrier function; prionogenesis (structural transitions of infectious proteins called prions); and intracellular protein quality control by energy-dependent proteases.

Over the course of 11 seasons, she was nominated for ten Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actress – winning four times – and was nominated for a record seven Golden Globe Awards for Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series.
Rhea Perlman was born in Coney Island, Brooklyn, the daughter of Philip Perlman (1919–2015), a Polish immigrant who was a manager at a doll parts factory and Adele (1922–2016), a bookkeeper.
His character became known by his real name, Phil, and he managed to get a few lines over the years as he appeared in more than 30 episodes.
The series struggled with ratings in its first season, but by the time it ended in 1993, it was one of the most popular and successful shows of all time, winning 20 Emmy awards out of 95 nominations.
She was also nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress six times, more than anyone else in that category.
They have three children: Lucy Chet DeVito (born March 1983), Grace Fan DeVito (born March 1985), and Jacob Daniel DeVito (born October 1987).
Perlman, who is Jewish, and DeVito, who was raised Catholic, raised their children celebrating the major holidays of both religions but did not give their children any religious identity.
The family had resided in Beverly Hills, California, and had also spent time at their vacation home in Interlaken, New Jersey.
In the broadest sense, the term spondyloarthropathy includes joint involvement of vertebral column from any type of joint disease, including rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, but the term is often used for a specific group of disorders with certain common features, the group often being termed specifically seronegative spondylarthropathies.
Non-vertebral signs and symptoms of degenerative or other not-directly-infected inflammation, in the manner of spondyloarthropathies, include asymmetric peripheral arthritis (which is distinct from rheumatoid arthritis), arthritis of the toe interphalangeal joints, sausage digits, Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, costochondritis, iritis, and mucocutaneous lesions.
However, lower back pain is the most common clinical presentation of the causes of spondyloarthropoathies; this back pain is unique because it decreases with activity.
Assessment of Spondylarthritis International Society (ASAS criteria) is used for classification of axial spondyloarthritis (to be applied for patients with back pain greater than or equal to 3 months and age of onset less than 45 years).
After leaving Liverpool he became player-manager of Swansea City, where he spent two years, and then managed Kidderminster Harriers, guiding them to promotion to the Football League in 2000.
He later had a brief spell as manager of Hull City and then a brief spell back in charge of Kidderminster Harriers.
Born in Kolding, Mølby started his senior playing career at the biggest football club of his hometown of Kolding (Kolding), where he became team captain at the age of 19, before joining AFC Ajax, where he won the Dutch Championship in 1983.
He made his debut three days later on the 25th in the 3–3 league draw with Norwich City at Carrow Road.
He failed to shine for Liverpool in his first season as the team endured a comparatively poor season, failing to win a major trophy for the first time since 1975.
On a number of occasions, Mølby began matches as a third central defender or deep-lying sweeper, before moving into midfield alongside Steve McMahon, often with devastating effect, as the match wore on.
Having lost the league title to Liverpool a week earlier, derby rivals Everton were looking for revenge and took a 1–0 lead into the half-time break, courtesy of a Gary Lineker strike.
In the 57th minute he set up the equaliser for Ian Rush and followed that up six minutes later by setting up Craig Johnston to take the lead.
Mølby was also involved in the third goal, when Rush latched on to a chipped pass from Ronnie Whelan to put the final out of Everton's reach and complete the double.
Mølby also began to establish himself as a regular and successful penalty taker around this time, starting with two penalties converted at home to Tottenham Hotspur in the league on 28 September 1985.
Other fine performances included a brace in open play in a 3–0 home win over Aston Villa in the league on 7 December, and two goals (one a penalty) as they eliminated Manchester United from the Football League Cup in a 2–1 win at Anfield in late November.
During their Littlewoods Cup run, which ended with a 1–2 defeat at Wembley against Arsenal, he scored a hat-trick of penalties in a 4th round replay at Anfield against Coventry City.
During pre-season training in the summer of 1987, Mølby suffered a foot injury, which turned out to be a crucial turning point in his career.
He missed the first three months of the 1987–88 season, and with the arrival of John Barnes to play on the left wing, Mølby's place in central midfield was taken by Ronnie Whelan (who had hitherto played left midfield).
Whelan's partnership with McMahon proved a great success and, although Whelan was himself injured later in the season, Mølby's return to fitness came too late to resume his place in midfield, which went to Nigel Spackman for the rest of the season.
In 1988–89, Mølby returned to regular first team football, playing in central defence in the absence of the injured Alan Hansen, and scoring the winning goal against Manchester United at Anfield in the second league game of the season.
However, in October 1988 he was sentenced to three months' imprisonment for reckless driving following an incident earlier in the year.
The club decided to stand by him, and he returned to the first team in January 1989 in Hansen's continued absence, but suffered another injury in March which kept him out for the rest of the season.
In April 1989, Mølby, along with his teammates, rallied round the bereaved families of the Hillsborough disaster attending a number of the funerals.
In the following season, 1989–90 (Liverpool's last title-winning season to date), Mølby was a frustrated figure, unable to command a first team place despite often impressing during his occasional appearances.
He started only 12 of 38 league games, although he enjoyed a successful return to the team in the championship run-in, deputising for the injured Whelan.
Later that season, after Liverpool had knocked Brighton out of the FA Cup, Brighton manager Barry Lloyd expressed bemusement in a BBC post-match interview that Mølby was not being selected regularly.
When he scored a penalty in a 4–0 home win over Luton Town it was expected to be his farewell to the Liverpool fans.
Another injury to Whelan in a home league game against Everton in February 1991 gave Mølby another chance to re-establish himself, and he enjoyed his longest run of matches for four years.
However, after injury to McMahon and the surprise resignation of Dalglish, Liverpool could only finish runners-up in the league, despite having won their first nine matches of the campaign.
After initially extolling Mølby's virtues, new manager Graeme Souness changed his mind early in the 1991–92 season, leaving Mølby out as Whelan and McMahon again started in midfield.
However, after Whelan suffered another injury, he turned to Mølby, who went on to feature heavily in the Liverpool side that season, starring in the UEFA Cup and playing an important part in their FA Cup winning season.
After suffering injury in a 2–2 Premier League draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford on 18 October 1992, Mølby's career began to decline.
This led to longer recovery periods being required, so his injuries generally led to an absence of at least 3 months.
Over the first three Premier League seasons (Mølby's last), he started just over 30 games in total and all his goals came from penalties, including one in Liverpool's first game of the 1994–95 season when Molby opened the scoring with a penalty in a 6–1 away win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Early in the 1995–96 season, manager Roy Evans loaned him out to Barnsley and Norwich (where he scored once in the League Cup against Birmingham City), and in February 1996, he finally called time on more than a decade at Liverpool to take over as player-manager of Swansea City.
During Mølby's time with Liverpool, he only failed to score three times from the penalty spot (penalties against Sheffield Wednesday and QPR in 1985–86 and Chelsea in 1989–90 were saved).
He held the club record of most penalties scored by a Liverpool player until Steven Gerrard surpassed his record in August 2014.
He was a squad player (appearing generally as a substitute) with the Danish international side which competed in the 1984 European Championship and 1986 World Cup.
Once as a substitute in a friendly against Wales and later in the starting line-up in the 2–0 home defeat against Yugoslavia in the qualification for the Euro 1992.
He became manager of Swansea City in February 1996 but was sacked in October 1997 along with his assistant, Billy Ayre.
He had taken Swansea to the Division Three playoff final five months earlier, but they lost to a last-minute goal by Northampton's John Frain.
A dismal start to the 1997–98 season had seen Swansea struggling near the foot of the Football League, and the board decided that it was time for a new manager to be appointed, asserting that the team's good performances the previous season were more down to Mølby's qualities as a top class player, rather than as a manager.
Pursuing a career as a TV pundit, Mølby was finally offered the manager's job at Kidderminster Harriers, then in the Football Conference.
Utilising the existing squad of players, but adding his own in a few key positions (ex-Liverpool teammate Mike Marsh was drafted in to great success) Harriers won the Conference title (and promotion to the Football League) in Mølby's first season in charge.
It allows information such as the title, artist, album, track number, and other information about the file to be stored in the file itself.
ID3 is also specified by Apple as a timed metadata in HTTP Live Streaming, carried as a in the main transport stream or in separate audio .
ID3v1 takes the form of a 128-byte segment at the end of an MP3 file containing a fixed set of data fields.
There are standard frames for containing cover art, BPM, copyright and license, lyrics, and arbitrary text and URL data, as well as other things.
ID3 is a de facto standard for metadata in MP3 files; no standardization body was involved in its creation nor has such an organization given it a formal approval status.
In 1996 Eric Kemp had the idea to add a small chunk of data to the audio file, thus solving the problem.
Some players would play a small burst of static when they read the tag, but most ignored it, and almost all modern players will correctly skip it.
Since the comment field was too small to write anything useful, he decided to trim it by two bytes and use those two bytes to store the track number.
Winamp extended the list by adding more genres in its own music player, which were later adopted by others (though some are of dubious value: e.g.
The Enhanced tag is an extra data block before an ID3v1 tag, which extends the title, artist and album fields to 60 bytes each, offers a freetext genre, a one-byte (values 0–5) speed and the start and stop time of the music in the MP3 file, e.g., for fading in.
Genres 142–147 were added in the 1 June 1998 release of Winamp 1.91; genres 148–191 were added in Winamp 5.6 (30 November 2010).
ID3v2 tags are of variable size, and usually occur at the start of the file, which aids streaming media as the metadata is essentially available as soon as the file starts streaming instead of requiring the entire file to be read first as is the case with ID3v1.
There are standard frames for containing cover art, , copyright and license, lyrics, and arbitrary text and URL data, as well as other things.
For instance, when rating a song in iTunes, the rating is not embedded in the tag in the music file, but is instead stored in a separate database that contains all of the iTunes metadata.
Other media players can embed rating tags in music files, but not necessarily the same way, so as a result a song which is rated on one media player sometimes won't display the rating the same way, or at all, when played on other software or mobile device.
The frame is called POPM and Windows Explorer, Windows Media Player, Winamp, foobar2000, MediaMonkey, and other software all map roughly the same ranges of 0–255 to a 0–5 stars value for display.
The 0 is the play counter portion of POPM as per the ID3v2 POPM specification, which is not to be confused or conflated with the PCNT frame, which is a separate frame meant entirely for playcounts.
If an app supports granularity however, it should write 1 for one full star, and then 2–31 would be granular points under one full star.
Further, Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player up to and including Windows 7 and WMP 12 (possibly beyond) contain a bug such that, if one were to use them to rate files, any Replay Gain tags one would have will be corrupted.
WMP also writes the same values as described above, and reads the same way as well, EXCEPT for the cutoff between 4 and 5 stars, which is slightly different and basically of no consequence.
It allows users to jump easily to specific locations or chapters within an audio file and can provide a synchronized slide show of images and titles during playback.
MP4 also allows the embedding of an ID3 tag, and this is widely supported, especially in Apple's iTunes, which uses MP4 standards in its audio and video file formats.
Apple also uses ID3 tags to provide a Parental Advisory or Clean Version (radio edit) rating for audio tracks or music videos bought on the iTunes Store.
Earlier versions of Winamp such as 2.xx have been proven able to add ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags to MP1 and MP2 files.
In practice, government bonds of financially stable countries are treated as risk-free bonds, as governments can raise taxes or indeed print money to repay their domestic currency debt.
Even though investors in United States Treasury securities do in fact face a small amount of credit risk, this risk is often considered to be negligible.
An example of this credit risk was shown by Russia, which defaulted on its domestic debt during the 1998 Russian financial crisis.
It appears, however, that the risk-free portfolio does not satisfy the formal definition of a self-financing strategy, and thus this way of deriving the Black-Sholes formula is flawed.
We assume throughout that trading takes place continuously in time, and unrestricted borrowing and lending of funds is possible at the same constant interest rate.
Furthermore, the market is frictionless, meaning that there are no transaction costs or taxes, and no discrimination against the short sales.
It is easily seen that to replicate the payoff 1 at time formula_9 it suffices to invest formula_15 units of cash at time formula_16 in the savings account formula_17.
This portfolio exactly matches the payoff of the risk-free bond since the portfolio too pays 1 unit regardless of which state occurs.
In this specific case, if portfolio of Arrow-Debreu securities differs in price from the price of the risk-free bond, then the arbitrage strategy would be to buy the lower priced one and sell short the higher priced one.
Since each has exactly the same payoff profile, this trade would leave us with zero net risk (the risk of one cancels the other's risk because we have bought and sold in equal quantities the same payoff profile).
As mentioned before, the risk-free bond can be replicated by a portfolio of two Arrow-Debreu securities, one share of formula_24 and one share of formula_25.
Therefore, the price of a risk-free bond is simply the expected value, taken with respect to the probability measure formula_30, of the intertemporal marginal rate of substitution.
Thus, we see that the pricing of a bond and the determination of interest rate is simple to do once the set of Arrow-Debreu prices, the prices of Arrow-Debreu securities, are known.
Stormont Castle is a manor house on the Stormont Estate in east Belfast which is used as the main meeting place of the Northern Ireland Executive.
It was never a castle as such: the original building from the 1830s was reworked in 1858 by its original owners, the Cleland family, in the Scottish baronial style with features such as bartizans used for decorative purposes.
However, a number of prime ministers chose to live at Stormont House, the official residence of the Speaker of the House of Commons of Northern Ireland, which was empty as a number of speakers had chosen to live in their own homes.
Before devolution it served as the Belfast headquarters of the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland Office Ministers and supporting officials.
In geometry, a striking feature of projective planes is the symmetry of the roles played by points and lines in the definitions and theorems, and (plane) duality is the formalization of this concept.
There are two approaches to the subject of duality, one through language () and the other a more functional approach through special mappings.
However, there are non-Desarguesian planes which are not self-dual, such as the Hall planes and some that are, such as the Hughes planes.
If a statement is true in a projective plane , then the plane dual of that statement must be true in the dual plane .
The principle of plane duality says that dualizing any theorem in a self-dual projective plane produces another theorem valid in .
The three axioms of this definition can be written so that they are self-dual statements implying that the dual of a projective plane is also a projective plane.
The dual of a true statement in a projective plane is therefore a true statement in the dual projective plane and the implication is that for self-dual planes, the dual of a true statement in that plane is also a true statement in that plane.
As the real projective plane, , is self-dual there are a number of pairs of well known results that are duals of each other.
Thus, the dual of a quadrangle, a (4, 6) configuration of four points and six lines, is a quadrilateral, a (6, 4) configuration of six points and four lines.
The set of all points on a line, called a projective range has as its dual a pencil of lines, the set of all lines on a point.
That is, a plane duality will map points to lines and lines to points ( and ) in such a way that if a point is on a line (denoted by ) then .
However, if it is, that is, with a division ring (skewfield), then a duality, as defined below for general projective spaces, gives a plane duality on that satisfies the above definition.
That is, in a projective space of dimension , the points (dimension 0) correspond to hyperplanes (codimension 1), the lines joining two points (dimension 1) correspond to the intersection of two hyperplanes (codimension 2), and so on.
By the Fundamental theorem of projective geometry is induced by a semilinear map with associated isomorphism , which can be viewed as an antiautomorphism of .
In the classical literature, would be called a reciprocity in general, and if it would be called a correlation (and would necessarily be a field).
When this is done, a duality may be thought of as a collineation between a pair of specially related projective spaces and called a reciprocity.
Any duality of for is induced by a nondegenerate sesquilinear form on the underlying vector space (with a companion antiautomorphism) and conversely.
To simplify this discussion we shall assume that is a field, but everything can be done in the same way when is a skewfield as long as attention is paid to the fact that multiplication need not be a commutative operation.
The points of can be taken to be the nonzero vectors in the ()-dimensional vector space over , where we identify two vectors which differ by a scalar factor.
Another way to put it is that the points of -dimensional projective space are the 1-dimensional vector subspaces, which may be visualized as the lines through the origin in .
When a vector is used to define a hyperplane in this way it shall be denoted by , while if it is designating a point we will use .
Some authors distinguish how a vector is to be interpreted by writing hyperplane coordinates as horizontal (row) vectors while point coordinates are written as vertical (column) vectors.
This extends to a reciprocity between the line generated by two points and the intersection of two such hyperplanes, and so forth.
Specifically, in the projective plane, , with a field, we have the correlation given by: points in homogeneous coordinates lines with equations .
This correlation would also map a line determined by two points and to the line which is the intersection of the two planes with equations and .
When, in the model, these lines are considered to be the points and the planes the lines of the projective plane , this association becomes a correlation (actually a polarity) of the projective plane.
The sphere model is obtained by intersecting the lines and planes through the origin with a unit sphere centered at the origin.
The lines meet the sphere in antipodal points which must then be identified to obtain a point of the projective plane, and the planes meet the sphere in great circles which are thus the lines of the projective plane.
A point incident with a line in the projective plane corresponds to a line through the origin lying in a plane through the origin in the model.
This image line is perpendicular to every line of the plane which passes through the origin, in particular the original line (point of the projective plane).
All lines that are perpendicular to the original line at the origin lie in the unique plane which is orthogonal to the original line, that is, the image plane under the association.
Let be a duality of for and let be the associated sesquilinear form (with companion antiautomorphism ) on the underlying ()-dimensional vector space .
It is necessary to distinguish between polarities of general projective spaces and those that arise from the slightly more general definition of plane duality.
It is also possible to give more precise statements in the case of a finite geometry, so we shall emphasize the results in finite projective planes.
If is a duality of , with a skewfield, then a common notation is defined by for a subspace of .
Let be a (left) vector space over the skewfield and be a reflexive nondegenerate sesquilinear form on with companion anti-automorphism .
Expressed in other terms, a point is an absolute point of polarity with associated sesquilinear form if and if is written in terms of matrix , .
If is a finite field of odd characteristic the absolute points also form a quadric, but if the characteristic is even the absolute points form a hyperplane (this is an example of a pseudo polarity).
Under any duality, the point is called the pole of the hyperplane , and this hyperplane is called the polar of the point .
Using this terminology, the absolute points of a polarity are the points that are incident with their polars and the absolute hyperplanes are the hyperplanes that are incident with their poles.
By Wedderburn's theorem every finite skewfield is a field and an automorphism of order two (other than the identity) can only exist in a finite field whose order is a square.
If is a polarity of the finite Desarguesian projective plane where for some prime , then the number of absolute points of is if is orthogonal or if is unitary.
Furthermore, if the number of absolute points is , then the absolute points and absolute lines form a unital (i.e., every line of the plane meets this set of absolute points in either or points).
A method that can be used to construct a polarity of the real projective plane has, as its starting point, a construction of a partial duality in the Euclidean plane.
The line through which is perpendicular to the line is called the polar of the point with respect to circle .
If a point is on a line (not passing through ) then the pole of lies on the polar of and vice versa.
The incidence preserving process, in which points and lines are transformed into their polars and poles with respect to is called reciprocation.
In order to turn this process into a correlation, the Euclidean plane (which is not a projective plane) needs to be expanded to the extended euclidean plane by adding a line at infinity and points at infinity which lie on this line.
In this expanded plane, we define the polar of the point to be the line at infinity (and is the pole of the line at infinity), and the poles of the lines through are the points of infinity where, if a line has slope its pole is the infinite point associated to the parallel class of lines with slope .
The pole of the -axis is the point of infinity of the vertical lines and the pole of the -axis is the point of infinity of the horizontal lines.
The construction of a correlation based on inversion in a circle given above can be generalized by using inversion in a conic section (in the extended real plane).
We shall describe this polarity algebraically by following the above construction in the case that is the unit circle (i.e., ) centered at the origin.
Switching to homogeneous coordinates using the embedding , the extension to the real projective plane is obtained by permitting the last coordinate to be 0.
Note that restricted to the Euclidean plane (that is, set ) this is just the unit circle, the circle of inversion.
The theory of poles and polars of a conic in a projective plane can be developed without the use of coordinates and other metric concepts.
Let be a conic in where is a field not of characteristic two, and let be a point of this plane not on .
Given a polarity , a point lies on line , the polar of point if and only if lies on , the polar of .
A correlation that maps the three vertices of a triangle to their opposite sides respectively is a polarity and this triangle is self-polar with respect to this polarity.
A young Plücker was caught up in this feud when a paper he had submitted to Gergonne was so heavily edited by the time it was published that Poncelet was misled into believing that Plücker had plagiarized him.
The vitriolic attack by Poncelet was countered by Plücker with the support of Gergonne and ultimately the onus was placed on Gergonne.
Of this feud, Pierre Samuel has quipped that since both men were in the French army and Poncelet was a general while Gergonne a mere captain, Poncelet's view prevailed, at least among their French contemporaries.
In 1809 during the War of the Fifth Coalition, Frederick William, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel raised a force of volunteers to fight Napoleon Bonaparte, who had conquered the Duke's lands.
After fighting their way through Germany, the Black Brunswickers entered British service and fought with them in the Peninsular War and at the Battle of Waterloo.
The skull continued to be used by the Prussian and Brunswick armed forces until 1918, and some of the stormtroopers that led the last German offensives on the Western Front in 1918 used skull badges.
Parliament Buildings, often referred to as Stormont because of its location in the Stormont Estate area of Belfast, is the seat of the Northern Ireland Assembly, the devolved legislature for the region.
The need for a separate parliament building for Northern Ireland emerged with the creation of the Northern Ireland Home Rule region within Ulster in the Government of Ireland Act 1920.
Pending the construction of the new building, Parliament met in two locations, in Belfast City Hall, where the state opening of the first Parliament by King George V took place on 22 June 1921, and in the nearby Presbyterian Church in Ireland's Assembly's College.
In 1922, a design by Sir Arnold Thornely of Liverpool was chosen and preparatory work on the chosen site, east of Belfast, began.
These plans were for a large domed building with two subsidiary side buildings, housing all three branches of government: legislative, executive and judicial, giving rise to the plural in the official title still used today.
These plans were found to be too costly, and it was decided to build only the Parliament Building, without the dome, in a Greek classical style and the foundation stone was laid on 19 May 1928.
It was built by Stewart & Partners and opened by Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII), on 16 November 1932.
Stormont Castle served as the official residence of the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland and was the meeting place for the Northern Ireland Cabinet.
Two separate chambers were provided in the finished parliamentary complex, the blue-benched rectangular House of Commons of Northern Ireland (green benches as at Westminster being considered inappropriate) and the red-benched smaller rectangular Senate of Northern Ireland.
While most traces of it were removed from the façades (though having done damage that can be seen up close), some of the remains of the paint survive in the inner courtyards and unseen parts of the building.
Additional changes to the building and its environs include the erection of a statue to Edward, Lord Carson, in dramatic pose (on the drive leading up to the building) in 1932, a rare example of a statue to a person being erected before death, and the erection of a statue to Lord Craigavon in the Great Hall, half way up the Imperial Staircase.
In the 1990s, Sinn Féin suggested that a new parliament building for Northern Ireland should be erected, saying that the building at Stormont was too controversial and too associated with unionist rule to be used by a power-sharing assembly.
However, no one else supported the demand and the new Northern Ireland Assembly and executive was installed there as its permanent home.
On 3 December 2005, the Great Hall was used for the funeral service of former Northern Ireland and Manchester United footballer George Best.
The building was selected for the funeral as it is in the only grounds in Belfast suitable to accommodate the large number of members of the public who wished to attend the funeral.
On 29 September 2012, the grounds were used for an Orange Order parade in memory of the signing of the Ulster Covenant.
The entire House of Commons chamber was destroyed by fire on 2 January 1995 which was blamed on an electrical fault in the wiring below the Speaker's chair.
Critics alleged arson and noted how the destruction of the chamber allowed the creation of the modern less confrontational chamber used by the power-sharing Northern Ireland Assembly, which has no echo of the earlier seating arrangement.
The original House of Commons of Northern Ireland had been designed in the standard Westminster adversarial form, with the government and opposition facing each other in parallel blue benches across a central aisle.
Unlike the new Assembly chamber which replaced the old House of Commons chamber, the Senate chamber, with its red leather adversarial seats in two parallel blocks of benches, remains as it was originally designed.
The chamber has not been used as a parliamentary chamber in plenary session since the suspension of devolved government in 1972.
A further alteration that has been made to the chamber since 1932 is the addition of an inscription in the marble of the balustrade of the Senate Chambers Press Gallery.
The Stormont Estate is the site of Northern Ireland's main government buildings, including the Parliament Buildings, Stormont Castle and Stormont House.
Dextrins can be produced from starch using enzymes like amylases, as during digestion in the human body and during malting and mashing, or by applying dry heat under acidic conditions (pyrolysis or roasting).
The latter process is used industrially, and also occurs on the surface of bread during the baking process, contributing to flavor, color and crispness.
The starch hydrolyses during roasting under acidic conditions, and short-chained starch parts partially rebranch with α-(1,6) bonds to the degraded starch molecule.
Most of them can be detected with iodine solution, giving a red coloration; one distinguishes erythrodextrin (dextrin that colours red) and achrodextrin (giving no colour).
Yellow dextrins are used as water-soluble glues in remoistenable envelope adhesives and paper tubes, in the mining industry as additives in froth flotation, in the foundry industry as green strength additives in sand casting, as printing thickener for batik resist dyeing, and as binders in gouache paint and also in the leather industry.
Maltodextrin is easily digestible, being absorbed as rapidly as glucose, and might either be moderately sweet or have hardly any flavor at all.
She is best known for the collaborative work with her partner Per Wahlöö on a series of ten novels about the exploits of Martin Beck, a police detective in Stockholm.
Per Fredrik Wahlöö (5 August 1926 – 22 June 1975) - in English translations often identified as Peter Wahloo - was a Swedish author.
He is perhaps best known for the collaborative work with his partner Maj Sjöwall on a series of ten novels about the exploits of Martin Beck, a police detective in Stockholm, published between 1965 and 1975.
He moved onto freelance work in the 1950s, writing theater reviews and film articles for various newspapers including for the newspapers in Norrköping before moving to Stockholm.
From the mid-1960s, he wrote together with life companion Maj Sjöwall a series of detective novels with criminal investigator Martin Beck as protagonist.
Several of them have been filmed, and a Swedish TV film series ran from 1997 to 2015, with Peter Haber as Martin Beck.
The freedom to roam applies, thus hiking, skiing and camping throughout the park are permitted, given that consideration to nature is taken.
At least 60% of Norway's area is mountainous, lakes or bogs (non-arable land, some of it is used as pastures); 37% is forest of various kinds; and only 3% arable land.
It is estimated that between 1900 and 2003 areas more than 5 km from intense construction activity has decreased from 48% to 12% in Norway.
The first initiatives to protect land were voiced in 1904, by Yngvar Nielsen, leader of the Norwegian Mountain Touring Association (DNT).
The natural protection act of 1954 prepared a legal basis for establishing protection areas, and the two first national parks were established in 1962 and 1963.
The post-industrial era that started in the last 1960s saw areas being protected as national parks or other protected status as a means to regulate the construction of vacation homes, roads, fishing, hunting, and gathering plants.
In addition to preserving rare plant and animal life, areas are protected to maintain reference points for environmental research, recreational resources for Norwegians, and as an inheritance for future generations.
The Directorate for Nature Management maintains indicators for the health of nature in Norway, including such measures as biological diversity, erosion, signs of pollution.
Included in these areas are 153 landscapes covering 14071 km; 1,701 nature reserves covering 3,418 km; 24 national parks covering 21,650 km; 102 natural memorials, and 98 smaller protected areas.
They have signalled an interest in preserving marine ecosystems, including the fjords of the western parts of Norway, and the archipelago southwest from Oslo.
Priyanka Gandhi (born 12 January 1972), also known by her married name Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, is an Indian politician and the general secretary of the All India Congress Committee in charge of Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
She is the daughter of Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi, sister of Rahul Gandhi, and granddaughter of Feroze and Indira Gandhi, making her a member of the politically prominent Nehru-Gandhi family.
She obtained a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Jesus and Mary College, University of Delhi, and later a master's degree in Buddhist studies in 2010.
Gandhi had regularly visited her mother's and brother's constituencies of Rae Bareilly and Amethi where she dealt with the people directly.
In the 2007 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, while Rahul Gandhi managed the statewide campaign, she focused on the ten seats in the Amethi Rae Bareilly region, spending two weeks there trying to quell considerable infighting within the party workers over seat allocations.
On January 23, 2019, Priyanka Gandhi formally entered politics, being appointed the Congress' General Secretary in charge of the eastern part of Uttar Pradesh.
The Nye Committee, officially known as the Special Committee on Investigation of the Munitions Industry, was a United States Senate committee (April 12, 1934 – February 24, 1936), chaired by U.S.
It was a significant factor in public and political support for American neutrality in the early stages of World War II.
During the 1920s and 1930s, dozens of books and articles appeared about the high cost of war, and some argued that arms manufacturers had tricked the United States into entering World War I.
The push for the appointment of Senator Gerald Nye (R-ND) to the chairmanship of this committee came from Senator George Norris (R-NE).
There were seven members: Nye, the committee chair; and Senators Homer T. Bone (D-WA), James P. Pope (D-ID), Bennett Champ Clark (D-MO), Walter F. George (D-GA), W. Warren Barbour (R-NJ), and Arthur H. Vandenberg (R-MI).
(In 1948, Hiss was one of several members of the Ware Group alleged by Whittaker Chambers to have infiltrated the Federal government on behalf of Soviet intelligence.
Although the committee found scant hard evidence to support the widespread public belief that the profits of the arms industry had been a significant factor in America's decision to participate in the war, their reports did little to dispel the notion.
Also, the arms industry was at fault for price-fixing and held excessive influence on American foreign policy leading up to and during World War I.
Nye created headlines by drawing connections between the wartime profits of the banking and munitions industries to America's involvement in World War I.
Many Americans felt betrayed and questioned that the war had been an epic battle between the forces of good (democracy) and evil (autocracy).
In the same period, it lent to the United Kingdom and its allies 2.3 billion dollars, almost 100 times as much.
Because of these facts Senator Nye, many war critics, and members of the American public concluded that the US entered the war for reasons of profit, not policy — because it was in American commercial interest for the United Kingdom not to lose.
The committee's findings did not achieve the aim of nationalization of the arms industry, but gave momentum to the non-interventionist movement and sparked the passage of the Neutrality Acts of the 1930s in 1935, 1936, 1937, and 1939.
Pavol Hudák (7 October 1959 in Vranov nad Toplou, Czechoslovakia – 18 January 2011 in Poprad, Slovakia) was a Slovak poet, journalist and publicist.
After high school in the Vranov nad Topľou (1975–1979) he studied at the Pedagogical Faculty, University of Pavol Jozef Šafárik in Prešov (1979–1983).
Between 1983 and 1992 he worked as a teacher in a grammar school, between 1992 and 1995 he worked as local newspaper journalist in Poprad and Vysoké Tatry area, since 1995 as journalist in Nový Čas, Korzár, Pravda, Žurnál or Farmár.
The poem called Christ comes to Sarajevo was used by the well known composer Ivan Hrušovský in Requiem at the end of Millennium.
Rondane is a typical high mountain area, with large plateaus and a total of ten peaks above 2,000 m (6,560 ft).
The lowest point is just below the tree line, which is approximately 1,000 to 1,100 m (about 3,300 to 3,600 ft) above sea level.
Apart from the White Birch trees of the lower areas, the soil and rocks are covered by heather and lichen, since they lack nutrients.
The largest mountains are almost entirely barren; above 1,500 m (5,000 ft) nothing but the hardiest lichens grow on the bare stones.
Generally, Rondane does not receive enough precipitation to generate persistent glaciers, but glacier-like heaps of snow can be found in the flat back valleys.
The centre of the Park is the Rondvatnet lake, from which all the peaks beyond 2,000 m (6,560 ft) of altitude can be reached in less than one day's walk.
In this central region and north of it, the altitude is quite high compared with the flatter plateaus of the south.
Rondane has ten peaks over 2,000 m, Rondeslottet (2,178 m), Storronden (2,138 m), Høgronden (2,114 m), Midtronden western summit (2,060 m), Vinjeronden (2,044 m), Midtronden eastern summit (2,042 m), Trolltinden (2,018 m), Storsmeden (2,016 m), Digerronden (2,015 m), and Veslesmeden (2,015 m).
Large climate changes allowed reindeer to spread widely across Scandinavia, only to be forced back to a much smaller area — including the Rondane mountain area — only some hundreds of years later.
Archaeologists have found that the forest quickly grew at high altitudes; birch trees found at 1030 metres (3379 ft) were 8500 years old.
Large traps used to catch reindeer can be found at Gravhø and Bløyvangen and are also spread all throughout the park.
In conjunction with these large traps, there are also small arched stone walls which are believed to have been used as hiding places for archers waiting for prey.
It is thus known with confidence that the large traps and accompanying walls were used from the 6th century until the onset of the Black Death in the 14th century.
As a special measure for the protection of the wild reindeer, the park was significantly enlarged in 2003, its area increasing from 580 to 963 km² (224 to 372 mi²).
In addition, areas with lesser protection (landscape protection as well as nature protection areas) were established in connection with the park.
Following the expansion, it is now only approximately 1 kilometre from the northern border of Rondane to the southern border of Dovre National Park, and large sections of adjacent mountain areas are protected by the three parks.
There are no fossils found in Rondane today and so it is thought the sea where the rock came from contained no animal life.
At that time large quantities of ice were formed, and it is believed that the ice melted gradually in shifting cycles of melting and ice accumulation.
Rondane is one of the few places in Scandinavia and Europe where wild reindeer (as opposed to the domestic breed) are found.
Other large game, including roe deer and elk (moose) are commonplace along the rims of the park and occasionally musk ox from Dovre can be seen.
The reindeer largely rely on the lichen and reindeer moss that grow together with heather and hardy grass on the quite arid and nutrient-poor stony plateaus.
The lichen provide food for the reindeer, but also fertilize the earth, making it possible for less hardy plants to grow, and mice and lemmings to feed.
Visitors to Rondane are free to hike and camp in all areas of the park, except in the immediate vicinity of cabins.
The Norwegian Mountain Touring Association (DNT) is an association that owns and manages a network of mountain cabins in the service of hikers.
Ski trails are marked and sometimes prepared, either by DNT or some of the hotels and skiing resorts close to the park.
The Rondane Høyfjellshotell is located just 14 kilometers east of Otta and is the closest hotel to the Rondane National Park, being only 3 kilometers away.
With this scene, Ibsen wrote Rondane into one of the 19th centuries better-known plays and made Rondane a symbol for Norway.
Peter Christen Asbjørnsen, writer and gatherer of Norwegian folk tales in the mid-19th century, collected many stories connected with Rondane, including Peer Gynt, the story that inspired Ibsen.
The area of Poyang Lake fluctuates dramatically between the wet and dry seasons, but in recent years the size of the lake has been decreasing overall.
In early 2012, due to drought, sand quarrying, and the practice of storing water at the Three Gorges Dam the area of the lake reached a low of about .
During the winter, the lake becomes home to many migrating Siberian cranes, up to 90% of which spend the winter there.
Before the Han Dynasty, the Yangtze followed a more northerly course through what is now Longgan Lake whilst Pengli Marsh formed the lower reaches of the Gan River.
Around 400 AD, the Yangtze River switched to a more southerly course, causing the Gan River to back up and form Lake Poyang.
The backing up of the Gan River drowned Poyang County and Haihun County, forcing a mass migration to Wucheng Township in what is now Yongxiu County.
Calls have been made for action to be taken to save the porpoise, of which there are about 1,400 left, with between 700 and 900 in the Yangtze, and another about 500 in Poyang and Dongting Lakes.
2007 population levels are less than half the 1997 levels, and the population is dropping at a rate of 7.3 per cent per year.
Sand dredging has become a mainstay of local economic development in the last few years, and is an important source of revenue in the region that borders Poyang Lake.
But at the same time, high-density dredging projects have been the principal cause of the death of the local wildlife population.
Dredging makes the waters of the lake muddier, and the porpoises cannot see as far as they once could, and have to rely on their highly developed sonar systems to avoid obstacles and look for food.
Large ships enter and leave the lake at the rate of two per minute and such a high density of shipping means the porpoises have difficulty hearing their food, and also cannot swim freely from one bank to the other.
200 square kilometers of land was underwater in October, while the lake is normally 3,500 square kilometers in area when full.
In addition to the Three Gorges Dam, which must store water in its reservoir to be used in the winter, a drought was also blamed for the shrinkage.
The Jiangxi local government has proposed to build the Poyang Lake Dam to maintain water levels in the lake, building a sluice wall across the connection between the lake and the Yangtze river.
Scientists, as well as environmental groups such as the World Wide Fund for Nature, have criticized the proposal, arguing that artificially engineering water levels in the lake will adversely affect wildlife diversity.
In 1363, the Battle of Lake Poyang took place there; the battle is claimed to be the largest naval battle in history.
On 16 April 1945, an Imperial Japanese Navy ship, which carried loot from the Japanese Occupation of China vanished without a trace with 200 sailors.
Northern Ireland was recognised as a separate territory within the authority of the British Crown on 3 May 1921, under the Government of Ireland Act 1920.
The new autonomous Northern Ireland was formed from six of the nine counties of Ulster, being four counties with unionist majorities, and Fermanagh and Tyrone two of the five Ulster counties which had nationalist majorities.
The first government of Northern Ireland was the Executive Committee of the Privy Council of Northern Ireland, which exercised such authority from 1922 to 1972.
A Northern Ireland Executive was created following the signing of the Sunningdale Agreement in 1974, while the current Northern Ireland Executive under the First Minister and Deputy First Minister, was created in the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, and has intermittently been in existence from 1999 to the present.
Northern Ireland has also been governed by ministers under the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland during periods of Direct Rule.
A former world champion in the super middleweight division, he and Roy Jones Jr. are best remembered as the two boxers who were controversially robbed of decisions against eventually Olympic light middleweight gold medalist Park Si-Hun in the last two rounds of the 1988 Olympics despite Nardiello and Jones clearly landing more punches in their bouts.
Two of the judges in Jones versus Si-Hun finals were banned for life after the tournament, while the third admitted his card was a mistake, with Jones being named the outstanding fighter of the tournament.
The stain of the 'bad decisions' in the 1988 Olympics stayed with Nardiello and Jones for the rest of their careers.
36 of 37 Americans got decisions in boxing in the 1984 Olympics in the United States, and the South Koreans had vowed to get back at the American media for being terribly wronged in 1984, and Nardiello and Jones were targets of the South Korean scorecards of the time.
Nardiello, who lost a 3-2 split decision Park Si-Hun, felt he had been cheated, argued with the officials at ringside and had to be physically dragged from the Seoul Olympics ring area.
On 13 December 1991, Nardiello was stopped in the 11th round of his first world title bout by WBA Super Middleweight champion Victor Corboba in France.
After knocking Massimiliano Bocchini in Italy, Nardiello again challenged for a world title, but was stopped in the eighth round of a London bout against WBC Super Middleweight champion Nigel Benn, in Benn's first bout since his bout with Gerald McClellan who sustained critical injuries.
On 6 July 1996, in Manchester, England, Nardiello defeated WBC champion Thulani Malinga to win a share of the World Super Middleweight title in his third attempt.
Nardiello lost the WBC title in Milan, Italy, later in 1996, when he was stopped by Robin Reid After winning three more bouts, Nardiello was unsuccessful in his final world title bout, getting stopped in the sixth round of a WBC World Super Middleweight title bout against Richie Woodhall (who had lost the 'other' 1988 Olympics semi-final bout to Jones) on 13 February 1999.
For an individual, a risk premium is the minimum amount of money by which the expected return on a risky asset must exceed the known return on a risk-free asset in order to induce an individual to hold the risky asset rather than the risk-free asset.
The certainty equivalent, a related concept, is the guaranteed amount of money that an individual would view as equally desirable as a risky asset.
For market outcomes, a risk premium is the actual excess of the expected return on a risky asset over the known return on the risk-free asset.
Here the left side is the degree of attractiveness of the risk-free asset—the known utility of its known return—and the right side is the degree of attractiveness of the risky asset—the expected utility of its risky return.
Thus the risk premium is the amount by which the risky asset's expected return must in fact exceed the risk-free return in order to make the risky and risk-free assets equally attractive.
thus the certainty equivalent is the certain value which is equally attractive as the risky asset; due to risk aversion the certainty equivalent will be less than the expected return on the risky asset.
The two options (choosing between door 1 and door 2, or taking $500) have the same expected value of $500, so no risk premium is being offered for choosing the doors rather than the guaranteed $500.
A risk-averse contestant will choose no door and accept the guaranteed $500, while a risk-loving contestant will derive utility from the uncertainty and will therefore choose a door.
If too many contestants are risk averse, the game show may encourage selection of the riskier choice (gambling on one of the doors) by offering a positive risk premium.
If the game show offers $1,600 behind the good door, increasing to $800 the expected value of choosing between doors 1 and 2, the risk premium becomes $300 (i.e., $800 expected value minus $500 guaranteed amount).
The difference between these two returns can be interpreted as a measure of the excess expected return on the risky asset.
An inoculation loop, also called a smear loop, inoculation wand or microstreaker, is a simple tool used mainly by microbiologists to pick up and transfer a small sample (inoculum) from a culture of microorganisms, e.g.
It was originally made of twisted metal wire (such as platinum, tungsten or nichrome), but disposable molded plastic versions are now common.
James Carroll Booker III (December 17, 1939 – November 8, 1983) was a New Orleans rhythm and blues keyboardist born in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States.
In the 1960s, he started using illicit drugs, and in 1970 served a brief sentence in Angola Prison for drug possession.
As Booker became more familiar to law enforcement in New Orleans due to his illicit drug use, he formed a relationship with District Attorney Harry Connick Sr., who was occasionally Booker's legal counsel.
Connick would discuss law with Booker during his visits to the Connick home and made an arrangement with the musician whereby a prison sentence would be nullified in exchange for piano lessons for Connick Sr.'s son Harry Connick Jr.
The master tapes disappeared from the Paramount Recording Studios library, but a copy of the mixes that were made around the time of the recordings was discovered in 1992, which resulted in a CD release on DJM Records.
Booker then played organ in Dr. John's Bonnaroo Revue touring band in 1974, and also appeared as a sideman on albums by Ringo Starr, John Mayall, The Doobie Brothers, Labelle and Maria Muldaur throughout this period.
He also played at the Nice and Montreux Jazz Festivals in 1978 and recorded a session for the BBC during this time.
But really I think that Booker felt he was being taken seriously in Europe, and it made him think of himself differently and improved the quality of his music.
From 1978 to 1982, Booker was the house pianist at the Maple Leaf Bar in the Carrollton neighborhood of uptown New Orleans.
Following his success in Europe, Booker was forced to adjust to a lower level of public recognition, as he performed in cafes and bars.
Furthermore, Booker was subject to the social stigma that affected people who used illicit drugs and who experienced mental health issues during this era of American history.
At the end of October 1983, filmmaker Jim Gabour captured Booker's final concert performance for a series on the New Orleans music scene.
Booker died aged 43 on November 8, 1983, while seated in a wheelchair in the emergency room at New Orleans' Charity Hospital, waiting to receive medical attention.
The cause of death, as cited in the Orleans Parish Coroner's Death Certificate, was renal failure related to chronic abuse of heroin and alcohol.
From a musician’s perspective or piano player’s perspective, he matters because he figured out how to do things no one had ever done before, at least in a rhythm-and-blues context... Basically he figured out ways to do a lot of stuff at the same time and make the piano sound like an entire band.
He invented an entirely new way of playing blues and roots-based music on the piano, and it was mind-blowingly brilliant and beautiful.
Within all the romping and stomping in his music, there were complexities in it that, if one tried to emulate it, what you heard and what excited you on the surface was supported by some extreme technical acrobatics finger-wise that made his music extraordinary as far as I’m concerned.
In addition to coverage of Booker's significant influence upon Connick and his collaborations with prominent artists, Keber also documents the musician's heroin use and the deterioration in his mental health.
I know how to listen to something like the Neville Brothers or Irma Thomas, but Booker's music I didn't even know how to listen to.
In June and August 2013, the film was part of the program of the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) and producer Nathaniel Kohn attended as a representative.
He died in 1983 and many of the people who knew him are either dead or reaching that certain age when memories start to fade.
So we talked to a lot of people and those conversations led to boxes of old photographs and tapes, video and music libraries in the States and in Europe, and the vaults of television stations, record companies, and museums.
Keber's documentary was also the opening night film at the Southern Screen Film Festival in Lafayette, Louisiana on November 14, 2013.
Having joined the Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR) in 1950, he left the party after the 1956 Polish October protests and riots.
After the suppression of the Prague Spring, in which Polish troops participated, Andrzejewski wrote a letter of apology to Eduard Goldstücker, the chairman of the Czechoslovak Writers Union.
His purported alcoholism in his later years may have hindered his literary output, thus preventing him from ever becoming a true moral authority.
On 23 September 2006, Jerzy Andrzejewski was posthumously awarded the Commander's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta by Polish President Lech Kaczyński.
Joseph Mbilinyi (born 1 May 1972), known for his stage names Mr. II, Sugu and 2-proud, is a Tanzanian politician, human rights activist and rapper.
Mr. II was stems from Songea in Southern Tanzania, started to rap in 1990, in his youth when he was still in school.
Most would consider his music as a voice for the voiceless, his brand of rap is soulful, lyrical, rhythmical and from the heart.
This is because Mr. II is not afraid to tell it like it is, undertaking sensitive issues of concern to many Tanzanians such as democracy, child prostitution, police brutality and corruption.
Due to the quality of his music and the message in his music, older people were more acceptance to his music and contributed to making him the first Tanzanian rapper to have a mainstream hit.
Mr. II is the African Great Lakes region's most popular Bongo Flava icon, and through this genre he was able to make a difference and create opportunities for the youth.
He is the primary organiser of the annual Tanzania Hip-Hop Summit, a yearly convention of the African Great Lakes region's most prominent and up-and-coming music stakeholders.
The summit is held in Dar es Salaam in December and brings together everyone from artists to producers to TV representatives.
Sugu is one of the most recognisable artists in the regional Hip-hop scene, has won numerous Pan-African music awards and has performed at a number of international festivals.
Regardless of his efforts to differentiate himself and his genre, Mr. II continues to be compared to the many great Hip-Hop artists from the U.S such as Nas, Jay-Z or Run DMC.
Sugu is also the Founder and Director of Deiwaka Entertainment, A company that has dedicated itself in promoting and developing Tanzanian hiphop/Bongoflava as part of helping in the fight against poverty and unemployment problems among youths in Tanzania.
Mary's Room is a thought experiment that attempts to establish that there are non-physical properties and attainable knowledge that can be discovered only through conscious experience.
C. D. Broad, Herbert Feigl, and Thomas Nagel, over a fifty-year span, presented insight to the subject, which led to Jackson's proposed thought experiment.
In an effort to make his argument more adaptable and relatable, he takes the stand of humans attempting to understand the sonar capabilities of bats.
Even with the entire physical database at one's fingertips, humans would not be able to fully perceive or understand a bat's sonar system, namely what it is like to perceive something with a bat's sonar.
Most authors who discuss the knowledge argument cite the case of Mary, but Frank Jackson used a further example in his seminal article: the case of a person, Fred, who sees a color unknown to normal human perceivers.
Whether Mary learns something new upon experiencing color has two major implications: the existence of qualia and the knowledge argument against physicalism.
First, if Mary does learn something new, it shows that qualia (the subjective, qualitative properties of experiences, conceived as wholly independent of behavior and disposition) exist.
If Mary gains something after she leaves the room—if she acquires knowledge of a particular thing that she did not possess before—then that knowledge, Jackson argues, is knowledge of the qualia of seeing red.
Therefore, it must be conceded that qualia are real properties, since there is a difference between a person who has access to a particular quale and one who does not.
Jackson argued that if both of these theses are true, then epiphenomenalism is true—the view that mental states are caused by physical states, but have no causal effects on the physical world.
If she in fact gains no new propositional knowledge, they contend, then what she does gain may be accounted for within the physicalist framework.
Some have objected to Jackson's argument on the grounds that the scenario described in the thought experiment itself is not possible.
For example, Evan Thompson questioned the premise that Mary, simply by being confined to a monochromatic environment, would not have any color experiences, since she may be able to see color when dreaming, after rubbing her eyes, or in afterimages from light perception.
However, Graham and Horgan suggest that the thought experiment can be refined to account for this: rather than situating Mary in a black and white room, one might stipulate that she was unable to experience color from birth, but was given this ability via medical procedure later in life.
Nida-Rümelin recognizes that one might question whether this scenario would be possible given the science of color vision (although Graham and Horgan suggest it is), but argues it is not clear that this matters to the efficacy of the thought experiment, provided we can at least conceive of the scenario taking place.
Objections have also been raised that, even if Mary's environment were constructed as described in the thought experiment, she would not, in fact, learn something new if she stepped out of her black and white room to see the color red.
J. Christopher Maloney argues similarly: If, as the argument allows, Mary does understand all that there is to know regarding the physical nature of colour vision, she would be in a position to imagine what colour vision would be like.
Surveying the literature on Jackson's argument, Nida-Rümelin identifies, however, that many simply doubt the claim that Mary would not gain new knowledge upon leaving the room, including physicalists who do not agree with Jackson's conclusions.
Some philosophers have also objected to Jackson's first premise by arguing that Mary could not know all the physical facts about color vision prior to leaving the room.
Linguistic physicalism is the thesis that everything physical can be expressed or captured in the languages of the basic sciences…Linguistic physicalism is stronger than metaphysical physicalism and less plausible.
A metaphysical physicalist can simply deny linguistic physicalism and hold that Mary's learning what seeing red is like, though it cannot be expressed in language, is nevertheless a fact about the physical world, since the physical is all that exists.
This, however, does not yet license any further conclusions about the nature of the experiences that these discursively unlearnable facts are about.
Several objections to Jackson have been raised on the grounds that Mary does not gain new factual knowledge when she leaves the room, but rather a new ability.
In the response to Jackson's knowledge argument, they both agree that Mary makes a genuine discovery when she sees red for the first time, but deny her discovery involves coming to know some facts of which she was not already cognizant before her release.
Therefore, what she obtained is a discovery of new abilities rather than new facts; her discovery of what it is like to experience color consists merely in her gaining new ability of how to do certain things, but not gaining new factual knowledge.
He aims to reinforce this line of objection by appealing to the different locations in which each type of knowledge is represented in the brain, arguing that there is a true, demonstratively physical distinction between them.By distinguishing that Mary does not learn new facts, simply abilities, it helps to negate the problem posed by the thought experiment to the physicalist standpoint.
Tye counters that Mary could have (and would have, given the stipulations of the thought experiment) learned all such facts prior to leaving the room, without needing to experience the color firsthand.
Earl Conee objects that having an ability to imagine seeing a color is neither necessary nor sufficient for knowing what it is like to see that color, meaning the ability hypothesis does not capture the nature of the new knowledge Mary acquires upon leaving the room.
To show that ability is not necessary, Conee cites the example of someone who is able to see colors when she is looking at them, but who lacks the capacity to imagine colors when she is not.
He argues that while staring at something that looks red to her, she would have knowledge of what it is like to see red, even though she lacks the ability to imagine what it is like.
Martha has been told that cherry red is exactly midway between burgundy red and fire red (she has experienced these two shades of red, but not cherry).
With this, Martha has the ability to imagine cherry red if she so chooses, but as long as she does not exercise this ability, to imagine cherry red, she does not know what it is like to see cherry red.
One might accept Conee's arguments that imaginative ability is neither necessary nor sufficient for knowing what it is like to see a color, but preserve a version of the ability hypothesis that employs an ability other than imagination.
For example, Gertler discusses the option that what Mary gains is not an ability to imagine colors, but an ability to recognize colors by their phenomenal quality.
Tye also defends a version of the acquaintance hypothesis that he compares to Conee's, though he clarifies that acquaintance with a color should not be equated to applying a concept to one's color experience.
In Conee's account, one can come to know (be acquainted with) a phenomenal quality only by experiencing it, but not by knowing facts about it as Mary did.
This is different from other physical objects of knowledge: one comes to know a city, for example, simply by knowing facts about it.
Gertler uses this disparity to oppose Conee's account: a dualist who posits the existence of qualia has a way of explaining it, with reference to qualia as different entities than physical objects; while Conee describes the disparity, Gertler argues that his physicalist account does nothing to explain it.
However, when he looks at numbers, his synesthesia enables him to experience colors in his mind that he has never seen in the real world.
Nida-Rümelin contends that, because dualism is relatively unpopular among contemporary philosophers, there are not many examples of dualist responses to the knowledge argument; nevertheless, she points out that there are some prominent examples of dualists responding to the Knowledge Argument worth noting.
In contrast to epiphenominalism, Jackson says that the experience of red is entirely contained in the brain, and the experience immediately causes further changes in the brain (e.g.
Jackson suggests that Mary is simply discovering a new way for her brain to represent qualities that exist in the world.
In a similar argument, philosopher Philip Pettit likens the case of Mary to patients suffering from akinetopsia, the inability to perceive the motion of objects.
If someone were raised in a stroboscopic room and subsequently 'cured' of the akinetopsia, they would not be surprised to discover any new facts about the world (they do, in fact, know that objects move).
Despite a lack of dualist responses overall and Jackson's own change of view, there are more recent instances of prominent dualists defending the Knowledge Argument.
Chalmers rejects these, arguing that Mary still necessarily gains new factual knowledge about how the experience and the physical processes relate to one another, i.e.
The Variations on a Theme by Joseph Haydn, (), now also called the Saint Anthony Variations, is a work in the form of a theme and variations, composed by Johannes Brahms in the summer of 1873 at Tutzing in Bavaria.
Brahms's orchestral variations are scored for piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns (2 in E, 2 in B), 2 trumpets, timpani, triangle, and the normal string section of first and second violins, violas, cellos and double basses.
The first performance of the orchestral version was given on 2 November 1873 by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under Brahms's baton.
However, music publishers in the early nineteenth century often attached the names of famous composers to works by unknown or lesser-known composers, to make the pieces more saleable.
The theme begins with a repeated ten-measure passage which itself consists of two intriguing five-measure phrases, a quirk that is likely to have caught Brahms's attention.
Almost without exception, the eight variations follow the phrasal structure of the theme and, though less strictly, the harmonic structure as well.
Each has a distinctive character, several calling to mind the forms and techniques of earlier eras, with some displaying a mastery of counterpoint seldom encountered in Romantic music.
The finale is a magnificent theme and variations on a ground bass, five measures in length, derived from the principal theme.
Its culmination, a restatement of the chorale, is a moment of such transcendence that the usually austere Brahms permits himself the use of a triangle.
Just before the end of the piece, in the coda of the finale, Brahms quotes a passage that really is by Haydn.
The Phrygian language was the Indo-European language of the Phrygians, spoken in Asia Minor during Classical Antiquity (c. 8th century BC to 5th century AD).
Phrygian is attested by two corpora, one dated to between about the 8th and the 4th century BC (Paleo-Phrygian), and then after a period of several centuries from between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD (Neo-Phrygian).
The last mentions of the language date to the 5th century AD and it was likely extinct by the 7th century AD.
Its structure, what can be recovered of it, was typically Indo-European, with nouns declined for case (at least four), gender (three) and number (singular and plural), while the verbs are conjugated for tense, voice, mood, person and number.
It has long been claimed that Phrygian exhibits a sound change of stop consonants, similar to Grimm's Law in Germanic and, more to the point, sound laws found in Proto-Armenian, i. e. voicing of PIE aspirates, devoicing of PIE voiced stops and aspiration of voiceless stops.
However, the hypothesis has been revived by Lubotsky (2004) and Woodhouse (2006), who have argued that there is evidence of a partial shift of obstruent series, i.e.
For this purpose, he ordered two children to be reared by a shepherd, forbidding him to let them hear a single word, and charging him to report the children's first utterance.
Hittite, Luwian (both also influenced Phrygian morphology), Galatian and Greek (which also exhibits a high amount of isoglosses with Phrygian) all influenced Phrygian vocabulary.
Precision Air Services Plc (operating as Precision Air; DSE:PAL) is a Tanzanian airline based at Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam, with a minihub at Mwanza Airport.
At first, it operated as a private charter air transport company but in November 1993 changed to offering scheduled services to serve the growing tourist market.
Precision Air was privately owned until 2003, when Kenya Airways acquired a 49 percent stake, paying US$2 million, weeks after its rival South African Airways acquired a 49 percent stake in for US$20 million.
In October 2011, Precision Air floated shares in its stock in an initial public offering on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange, after which Shirima's and Kenya Airways's stakes declined and the new share subscribers owned 15.86 percent.
Because it was a private company until 2011, published figures were not generally available before the initial public offering prospectus of 12 September 2011.
Published reports in June 2013 indicated that Precision Air had encountered substantial financial difficulties, stemming in part from losses incurred while operating flights to and from Johannesburg, South Africa.
The airline's problems increased in 2011 when it received only US$7.4 million of the US$17.5 million in cash that the airline hoped to receive when first listed on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange.
Increasing fuel prices, taxes, and levies plus currency fluctuations and the refusal of minority owner Kenya Airways to contribute capital had also hurt the airline.
In 2011, Precision Air entered into an interline agreement with Qatar Airways, allowing the latter's passengers to connect to other east African destinations such as Arusha and Zanzibar via Dar es Salaam and Kilimanjaro International Airport.
It is on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and the construction of a marina started in January 2008 and is expected to be completed in September.
The marina, and the site of the railway station, are both outside the current boundary of the parish, and are in an unparished area, which is part of the town of Burnley.
The civil parish was created in 1894 from the majority of Reedley Hallows, Filly Close and New Laund Booth civil parish.
Although administratively inside the parish of Whalley, as parts of the former royal hunting Forest of Pendle, the area was extra-parochial until 1887.
As part of the Honour of Clitheroe, this meant the parish church for the area was the chapel at Clitheroe castle.
Reedley Hallows is the eastern side of Pendle Water, while New Laund Booth is to the north-west and Filly Close to the south-west.
The Bobo doll experiment (or experiments) is the collective name for the experiments performed by Albert Bandura during 1961 and 1963 when he studied children's behavior after they watched a human adult model act aggressively towards a Bobo doll, a doll-like toy with a rounded bottom and low center of mass that rocks back to an upright position after it has been knocked down.
The most notable experiment measured the children's behavior after seeing the human model get rewarded, get punished, or experience no consequence for physically abusing the Bobo doll.
It demonstrates that people learn not only by being rewarded or punished (operant conditioning), but they can also learn from watching somebody else being rewarded or punished (observational learning).
The new data from the studies has practical implications, for example by providing evidence of how children can be influenced by watching violent media.
The participants of this experiment were 36 boys and 36 girls from the Stanford University nursery school, all between the ages of 37 months and 69 months with a mean age of 52 months (here and following, ).
For the experiments, 24 of the children were exposed to an aggressive model and 24 others were exposed to a non-aggressive mode.
Each group was coed, ensuring that half of the children were exposed to models of their own gender and the other half were exposed to models of the opposite gender.
For the experiment, each child was exposed to the scenario individually, so as not to be influenced or distracted by classmates.
Before leaving the room, the experimenter explained to the child that the toys in the adult corner were only for the adult to play with.
Examples of this included hitting/punching the Bobo doll and using the toy mallet to hit the Bobo doll in the face.
After a period of about 10 minutes, the experimenter came back into the room, dismissed the adult model, and took the child into another playroom.
In this situation, the Bobo doll was completely ignored by the model, then the child was taken out of the room.
The next stage of the experiment was performed with the child and experimenter in another room filled with interesting toys such as trucks, dolls, and a spinning top.
In order to build frustration, the child was then told after two minutes that they're no longer allowed to play with the toys and that they were reserved for other children.
In the experimental room the child was allowed to play for the duration of 20 minutes while the experimenter evaluated the child's play.
The first measure recorded was based on physical aggression such as punching, kicking, sitting on the Bobo doll, hitting it with a mallet, and tossing it around the room.
The third measure was the number of times the mallet was used to display other forms of aggression than hitting the doll.
Bandura found that the children exposed to the aggressive model were more likely to pursue physically aggressive behavior than those who were not exposed to the aggressive model.
In regards to the aggressive model, the number of imitative physical aggressions exhibited by the boys was 38.2 and 12.7 for the girls.
When exposed to aggressive male models, the number of aggressive instances exhibited by boys averaged 104 compared to 48.4 instances exhibited by boys who were exposed to aggressive female models.
When exposed to aggressive female models, the number of aggressive instances exhibited by girls averaged 57.7 compared to 36.3 instances exhibited when exposed to aggressive male models.
Bandura also found that the children exposed to the aggressive model were more likely to act in verbally aggressive ways than those who were not exposed to the aggressive model.
Additionally, the results indicated that the boys and girls who observed the non-aggressive model exhibited much less non-imitative mallet aggression than those in the control group, which did not have a model.
Albert Bandura followed his 1961 study two years later with another that again tested differences in children's learning/behavior or actual performance after seeing a model being rewarded, punished, or experiencing no consequences for aggressive behavior towards a Bobo doll (here and following, ) .
Children between the ages of 2.5 to 6 years watched a movie of a mediated model punching and screaming aggressively at a Bobo doll.
Regardless of the experimental group the child was in, after watching the movie the child stayed in a room with many toys and a Bobo doll.
The experimenter found that the children often showed less similar behavior toward the model when they were shown the movie that ended with the punishment scene as compared to the other conditions.
The experimenter did not find differences in the children's demonstrated behavior based on which of the three movies the child watched.
The results of the experiment shows that rewards or punishment don't influence remembering or learning information, they just influence whether or not the behavior is performed.
For the 1963 study, Albert Bandura used children between the ages 3 and 6 to test the extent to which movie-mediated aggressive models influenced imitative behavior.
Group 2 watched a movie version of the human model become aggressive to a Bobo doll, and group 3 watched a cartoon version of a cat become aggressive towards a Bobo doll.
After the exposure to the models all four groups of children were then placed individually in a room with an experimenter where they were exposed to a mildly frustrating situation to elicit aggression.
Results showed that the children who had been exposed to the aggressive behavior, whether real-life, by realistic movie or cartoon, exhibited nearly twice as much aggressive behavior as the control group.
Two major theories that add to the ongoing debates concerning media influences are the General Aggression Model (GAM) and the Cultivation theory.
Both of these theories are attempts to explain the development of aggressive behavior and knowledge resulting from media's effect on children.
Violent video games have become widespread in modern society, which is another example of how exposure to violence can affect people's thoughts and actions.
Children in our society have the opportunity to observe violent images and media by television, movies, online media, and video games.
This skews our minds to believe that the world is a more dangerous place because we are only seeing what the media shows us.
The conclusion of this experiment supports the social learning theory, that when one observes another's actions (the aggression model) they tend to behave in a similar way (an aggressive manner).
This social science theory suggests that people learn by observing, imitating, and modeling; moreover, it suggests specifically that people learn not only by being rewarded or punished, as traditionally seen in behaviorism, but by watching others receive rewards or punishments in consequence to their behavior (observational learning).
Some scholars suggest the Bobo Doll studies are not studies of aggression at all, but rather that the children were motivated to imitate the adult in the belief the videos were instructions.
In other words, the children may have been motivated by the desire to please adults or become adults rather than by genuine aggression.
In a university-level introductory general psychology text, Bandura's study is termed unethical and morally wrong, as the subjects were manipulated to respond in an aggressive manner.
They also state no surprise that long-term implications are apparent due to the methods imposed in this experiment as the subjects were taunted and were not allowed to play with the toys and thus incited agitation and dissatisfaction.
Furthermore, biological theorists argue that the social learning theory ignores a person's biological state by ignoring the uniqueness of an individual's DNA, brain development, and learning differences.
The Battle of South Mountain—known in several early Southern accounts as the Battle of Boonsboro Gap—was fought September 14, 1862, as part of the Maryland Campaign of the American Civil War.
Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan, commanding the Union Army of the Potomac, needed to pass through these gaps in his pursuit of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's precariously divided Army of Northern Virginia.
Although the delay bought at South Mountain would allow him to reunite his army and forestall defeat in detail, Lee considered termination of the Maryland Campaign at nightfall.
After Lee invaded Maryland, a copy of an order, known as Special Order 191, detailing troop movements that he wrote fell into the hands of McClellan.
From this, McClellan learned that Lee had split his forces, sending one wing under Maj. Gen. Thomas J. Jackson to lay siege to Harper's Ferry.
Lee hoped that after taking Harper's Ferry to secure his rear, he could carry out an invasion of the Union, wrecking the Monocacy aqueduct, before turning his attention to Baltimore, Philadelphia, or Washington, D.C. itself.
To counter the Confederate invasion, McClellan led the Army of the Potomac west in an effort to force battle on the isolated parts of Lee's divided force.
Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside, the Right Wing, commanded the I Corps (Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker) and IX Corps (Maj. Gen. Jesse L. Reno).
The Left Wing, commanded by Maj. Gen. William B. Franklin, consisting of his own VI Corps and Maj. Gen. Darius N. Couch's division of the IV Corps, was sent to Crampton's Gap in the south.
From Boonsboro, Lee had sent a column under Maj Gen. James Longstreet northward to respond to a perceived threat from Pennsylvania.
After learning of McClellan's intelligence coup, Lee quickly recalled Longstreet's forces to reinforce the South Mountain passes and thus attempt to block McClellan's advance.
On the day of the battle, the only Confederate force posted around Boonsboro was a five-brigade division under Maj. Gen. D.H. Hill.
At the southernmost point of the battle, near Burkittsville, Confederate cavalry and a small portion of Maj. Gen. Lafayette McLaws's division defended Brownsville Pass and Crampton's Gap.
McLaws was unaware of the approach of 12,000 Federals and had only 500 men under Col. William A. Parham thinly deployed behind a three quarter-mile-long stone wall at the eastern base of Crampton's Gap.
Confederate Maj. Gen. D. H. Hill, deploying 5,000 men over more than 2 miles, defended both Turner's Gap and Fox's Gap.
The Union Iron Brigade attacked Colonel Alfred H. Colquitt's brigade along the National Road, driving it back up the mountain, but it refused to yield the pass.
Just to the south, other elements of Hill's division (most notably Drayton's Brigade ) defended Fox's Gap against Reno's IX Corps.
Cox pushed through the North Carolinians positioned behind a stone wall at the gap's crest, but he failed to capitalize on his gains as his men were exhausted, allowing Confederate reinforcements to deploy in the gap around the Daniel Wise farm.
After Farmer Wise was paid one dollar each to bury the Confederate soldiers who died behind the stone walls on or near his property, sixty (or more) bodies were dumped down his dry well.
By dusk, with Crampton's Gap lost and his position at Fox's and Turner's Gaps precarious, Lee ordered his outnumbered forces to withdraw from South Mountain.
Union casualties of 28,000 engaged were 2,325 (443 killed, 1,807 wounded, and 75 missing); Confederates lost 2,685 (325 killed, 1560 wounded, and 800 missing) of 18,000.
However, McClellan's limited activity on September 15 after his victory at South Mountain condemned the garrison at Harpers Ferry to capture and gave Lee time to unite his scattered divisions at Sharpsburg for the Battle of Antietam on September 17.
The Civil War Trust (a division of the prominent battlefield preservation group American Battlefield Trust) and its partners have acquired and preserved 647 acres of the South Mountain Battlefield.
Most of the preserved area sits west of Route 40 south of where the old Sharpsburg Road (now known as Reno Monument Road) meets Fox’s Gap Road.
In January 2011, the South Mountain battlefield gained National Heritage Landmark status and in August 2012, the State of Maryland declared its continued commitment to the preservation of these invaluable lands.
The Civil War Trust followed up with another successful preservation victory in 2013 by saving 298 acres of battlefield land at Turner's Gap.
However, nearby heritage areas in Frederick and Washington counties are still threatened by development and South Mountain was listed as one of the Most Endangered Battlefields in the 2009 and 2010 editions of History Under Siege.
Plans to further develop the site of a natural gas plant just south of Fox’s Gap remain a significant threat to portions of the South Mountain battlefield.
Two future presidents, Rutherford B. Hayes and William McKinley, fought at Fox's Gap during the Battle of South Mountain, as part of the 23rd Ohio Infantry—Hayes as its commander, and McKinley a commissary sergeant.
Hayes would end the war as a brevet major general and McKinley a brevet major, and they would be elected to the presidency twenty years apart—Hayes in 1876, and McKinley in 1896.
Mary Ford (born Iris Colleen Summers; July 7, 1924 – September 30, 1977) was an American vocalist and guitarist, comprising half of the husband-and-wife musical team Les Paul and Mary Ford.
Hoping to have a musical career, Summers and Milly Watson lost interest in school, played truant frequently and eventually quit school, only to find employment as a cinema attendant.
By 1943, Colleen Summers, with Vivian Earles and June Widener, the sister of western swing guitarist-vocalist Jimmie Widener, formed the Sunshine Girls, a western trio who sang backup to Jimmy Wakely and his trio.
After Summers left the Sunshine Girls to work with Paul and his trio, she was replaced initially by Marilyn Myers Tuttle.
Colleen Summers appeared on Gene Autry's Melody Ranch CBS radio program as a cast member and featured vocalist from July through early November 1946.
By 1947, Summers became romantically involved with Les Paul, whose first marriage to Virginia M. Webb was failing, as it could no longer endure the stresses and strains of his show-business career.
In January 1948, while traveling on Route 66 through Oklahoma, the couple's car driven by Summers skidded off the road and plummeted 20 feet into a frozen creek bed.
Among Paul’s many injuries, his right elbow was shattered, and it would be eighteen months before he could play guitar again.
After Paul's wife Virginia took their two sons to Chicago, Summers moved in with Paul in his house on Curson Avenue, where she took care of him as he recuperated from the effects of the car accident.
Paul and Ford did all their recording at home or on the road and submitted the masters to Capitol, with Paul dictating to the record company what songs were destined to become hits.
Paul and Ford also used the now-ubiquitous recording technique known as close miking, where the microphone is less than six inches from the singer's mouth.
This produces a more intimate, less reverberant sound than when the singer is a foot or more from the microphone (see proximity effect).
The result was a singing style that diverged strongly from earlier styles, such as vocals in musical comedies of the 1930s and 1940s.
After extensive touring and recording, the couple decided to leave Hollywood and moved to New York City to make the crossover from radio to television.
During 1951, Ford and Paul earned $500,000, and had recorded more top ten hits for the year than Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and The Andrews Sisters combined.
They also purchased a woodland retreat in Mahwah, New Jersey, in the Ramapo Mountains, and their mansion included a recording studio and an echo chamber carved out of a neighboring mountain.
In July 1958, Paul and Ford left Capitol and signed with the Columbia label, but the move failed to restore their declining career, and Ford began increasingly suffering from alcoholism.
Ford and Paul were awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at 1541 Vine Street in Hollywood.
Audi's internal numbering treats the A6 as a continuation of the Audi 100 lineage, with the initial A6 designated as a member of the C4-series, followed by the C5, C6, C7 and the C8.
The related Audi A7 is essentially a sportback (fastback) version of the C7-series and C8-series A6, but is marketed under its own separate identity and model designation.
Audi's executive car was previously named the Audi 100 (or Audi 5000 in the United States), and was released in three successive generations (Audi C1, Audi C2 and Audi C3).
In 1994, the latest generation (C4) of the Audi 100 received a facelift and was renamed as the Audi A6, to fit in with Audi's new alphanumeric nomenclature (as the full-size A8 had just been introduced).
The United Kingdom was the first market to receive the A6, as stock of RHD Audi 100s had run out before expected, and before the rest of mainland Europe.
The new engines for the A6 were 1.8-litre 20v inline four-cylinder, 2.0-litre 8v inline four-cylinder, 2.6-litre 12V V6 and 2.8-litre 30v V6 petrol engines, with the 2.3-litre inline five engine being dropped on most markets.
For the diesel engines, an inline four 1.9 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI), and the inline five (R5) 2.5 TDI () were available.
Until 1997, the A6 came with several different engines, two of them turbodiesel, and most of them available with Audi's Torsen-based quattro permanent four-wheel drive system.
Upon introducing the C4 series A6, Audi made small revisions to what was previously known as the Audi S4, renaming it the Audi S6; the S4 name would eventually be re-used for a completely different model derived from Audi's smaller Volkswagen Group B platform-based Audi A4.
This engine gave the S6 a top speed of , and allowed it to accelerate from 0 to in 6.7 seconds; with being reached in 17.5 seconds.
The vehicle was available with a standard six-speed manual transmission (five-speed only in North America), and Audi's dynamic Torsen T-1 quattro permanent four-wheel drive system.
Audi made a high-performance, 4.2-litre V8 engine (parts code prefix: 077, identification code: AEC) with a Bosch KE-Motronic ECU available as an option in the original European S4s, and made the decision to continue to do so with the S6, making a version of the 4.2 available as an optional upgrade over the 2.2-litre inline five-cylinder turbo.
Unlike the five-cylinder turbocharged version, the V8-powered S6 was supplied with a four-speed automatic transmission as standard, but kept the quattro four wheel drive.
As a swan song to the C4 platform, an even more powerful, and very limited-production Audi S6 PLUS was briefly available to European customers.
The S6 PLUS, developed by Audi's wholly owned high performance subsidiary, quattro GmbH, was available for sale during the 1997 model year only (production from June 1996 to October 1997).
It was powered by another version of the 32-valve (four valves per cylinder) 4.2-litre V8 engine (parts code prefix: 077, identification code: AHK, later to be seen in the Audi S8 as AKH).
It was only available with a revised six-speed manual transmission (parts code prefix: 01E, identification code: DGU) (gear ratios – 1st: 3.500, 2nd: 1.889, 3rd: 1.320, 4th: 1.034, 5th: 0.857, 6th: 0.730), with a final drive ratio of 4.111.
With so much power on tap, the S6 Plus saloon could reach from a standstill in 5.6 seconds, with the Avant a tenth of a second slower at 5.7 seconds.
This new A6 moved up a notch in quality, and was marketed in the same categories as the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
The redesigned body presented a modern design, with a fastback styling which set the trend for the Audi lineup, and gave the relatively large saloon an aerodynamic shell with a low coefficient of drag of 0.28.
The 30-valve 2.4- and 2.8-litre V6 engines represented the bulk of the A6's development programme, with a multitude of other engine configurations available throughout the globe.
The C5 saloon variant arrived in mid-1997 in Europe, late 1997 in North America and Australia, and the Avant in 1998.
In Canada, there was no Avant (Audi's name for an estate/wagon) available at all in 1998 – Audi dropped the C4 Avant at the end of the 1997 model year, and jumped straight to the C5 Avant in 1998 in conjunction with its release in the US.
As a result of complying with FMVSS, the North American models were equipped with front and rear bumpers that protruded several inches further than their European counterparts, with modified brackets and bumper suspension assemblies as result, and child-seat tethers for occupant safety.
The V8 models arrived with significantly altered exterior body panels, with slightly more flared wheel arches (fenders), revised headlamps and grille design (before being introduced in 2002 to all other A6 models), larger wheels (8Jx17-inch), larger brakes and Torsen-based quattro permanent four-wheel drive as standard.
In 2002, the A6 received a facelift, with revised headlight and grille design, exposed exhaust tips, and slight changes to accessory body moldings, and tail light colour from red to amber in North American models.
The 1.9-litre Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) was tweaked to produce a maximum power output of , and of torque, and was mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.
The 2.4-litre V6 was named the BDV 30 valves and gained an extra 5 hp and better balancing , and the 2.8-litre V6 engine was replaced by a 3.0-litre engine with .
A four-wheel-drive version of the Avant, with raised ground clearance and slightly altered styling was sold as the Audi allroad quattro, Audi's first crossover SUV.
The Audi S6 was a high-powered variant of the A6, featuring a modified version of the 4.2-litre V8 engine producing and .
Weighing in excess of and producing and , the RS6 was capable of 0- in 4.5 seconds, and on to in under 17 seconds.
Initially available as only an Avant, a saloon variant was later added; the saloon version being the only version available to the North American market.
Compared to the regular A6, the allroad featured an advanced air suspension system, allowing for increased ground clearance; larger wheels with all-terrain tyres, and flared and unpainted bumpers, giving it a distinct appearance and more overall flexibility over varying terrain.
The standard adjustable air suspension system can lift the car high enough to provide of ground clearance; a low-range mode (an option with manual transmission), absent from other quattro-equipped vehicles, can be selected with the touch of a button.
When used together, the two systems made it possible for the allroad to complete an official Land Rover test-course, thus far it is the only car-based SUV that has been proven capable of doing so in testing.
Conversely, the air suspension can lower the vehicle down to only above road level, and simultaneously stiffen the spring and damper rates to provide a sporty driving experience, much like that of the conventional A6 with the sports suspension.
Audi's 2.7-litre, twin-turbo V6 petrol engine with and of peak torque was available initially, alongside the 2.5-litre TDI diesel unit with and of torque.
A variant of the corporate 4.2-litre V8 petrol engine, was made available in 2003, and a less powerful TDI (163 bhp) followed in 2004.
Although the model continued to be available for sale throughout 2006 in Europe, there was no 2006 model year for North America.
Most notable is the Multi Media Interface (MMI), which is a system controlling in-car entertainment, satellite navigation, climate control, car settings such as suspension configuration and optional electronic accessories through a central screen interface.
This has the advantage of minimising the wealth of buttons normally found on a dashboard by replacing them with controls which operate multiple devices using the integrated display.
The multitronic continuously variable transmission continues as an alternative for front-wheel drive models, alongside a new six-speed tiptronic automatic transmission available in the four-wheel drive models.
The A6 allroad quattro made its debut in 2006, and as before, is an off-road ready version of the Avant, available with either a 2.7-litre V6 or 3.0-litre V6 Turbocharged Direct Injection diesel engines, or a 3.2-litre V6 or 4.2-litre V8 petrol engine.
The 6-speed tiptronic transmission system converted high-torque engine power into both sporty performance and operating convenience, with crisp, fast gear changes.
Advanced electronics respond efficiently to all driver input in both D (Drive) and S (Sport) programmes, helping to prevent unwanted upshifts when cornering.
The five-mode air suspension can be raised by up to 60 mm (2.36 in) to provide ground clearance of 185 mm (7.28 in) which is better than the older four-mode.
In some European markets, this A6 allroad quattro was more expensive than the larger Audi Q7, but air suspension is an expensive option in the Q7.
There are minor cosmetic changes to the front and rear lights which now have daytime running LEDs, the taillights extend towards the center of the trunk lid and pinch off at the license plate mount, however their shape remains rectangular compared to the more sculpted light clusters found in the 2008 Audi A5, 2008 Audi A4, and 2009 Audi Q5 (the latter three being all-new generations).
The A6's six (per side) front light-emitting diode (LED) daytime running lights (DRLs) are located within the main headlamp housing, similar to RS6's placement of the LEDs (ten per side), whereas on the S6 these front LEDs (five per side) are found adjacent to the fog lamps in the lower front bumper.
All petrol engines now feature cylinder-direct Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) technology, and all diesel engines now feature common rail (CR) and Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) technologies.
This new engine is shared with the B8-generation Audi S4 and S5, although slightly detuned vs. the S-cars, and makes the A6 3.0T only 0.1s slower 0-60 than the more powerful but heavier 4.2L V8 variant and 5.2L V10-bearing S6.
Also updated for 2009 is the Quattro all-wheel drive setup, which is already found on the 2008 Audi A5 and 2008 Audi A4.
This new system features a 40/60 front-to-rear torque split and offers a more balanced feel, reducing the understeer that comes from 50/50 AWD platforms.
Early models include A6 3.2 FSI (sedan), A6 3.0 TFSI quattro (sedan/Avant), A6 4.2 FSI quattro (sedan), S6 5.2 FSI (sedan).
Based upon the V10 engine powering the S6, the RS6 features an all-aluminium alloy V10 twin-turbocharged, Fuel Stratified Injection engine with a dry sump lubrication system.
It produces a power output of , and of torque, making it the most powerful vehicle ever produced by Audi at the time.
The Audi A6L was also converted into the form of a pickup truck although only two examples are known to exist on the roads.
The fourth generation C7 series Audi A6 (internally designated Typ 4G) was launched in early 2011 for the European market and in other markets soon after.
The A6 shares its interior, platform, and powertrain (Modular Longitudinal Platform) with the Audi A7 four door sedan, which had been released shortly before also in 2011.
Compared to the A8 and A7, the A6 has the most aggressive front fascia and LED headlights (optional full LED headlamps).
European engine choices for the C7 include two petrol engines – a 2.8-litre FSI V6 with and a , 3.0-litre supercharged FSI engine – and two diesel engines – a 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder and a 3.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine in three states of tune.
The European A6 3.0 TFSI will have an optional seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and an air suspension option, two features that will not be available on the United States model.
For North America, the Audi A6 3.0 TFSI quattro will be powered by a 3.0-litre supercharged V6 putting out and , the same engine carried over from the previous-generation A6 3.0 TFSI, but in a higher state of tune and mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
There is also an Audi A6 2.0 TFSI quattro powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four, the same engine in the Audi A4 and Q5, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
For the United States but not the Canadian market, there will be an entry-level Audi A6 2.0 TFSI FrontTrak (front-wheel drive) with a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four, the same engine in the Audi A4 and Q5, but mated to the Multitronic CVT (continuous variable transmission).
The 2012 model year A6 features all the driver assistance systems from the A8, plus it adds automotive head-up display, active lane assist.
The refresh includes styling tweaks to the car's exterior, engine line-up, transmission and MMI infotainment system with faster Tegra 3 processor, Handwriting recognition, Audi connect Telematics with state of the art 4G mobile internet (and online updates for the navigation map), and advanced Matrix LED headlights.
The new TDI Ultra model now comes with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) springs and both ultra models now come with S-tronic (dual clutch) transmission.
The entry-level Audi A6 2.0 TFSI FrontTrak (front-wheel drive) with a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four, received a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic that replaced the previous Multitronic CVT (continuous variable transmission).
A hybrid electric variant was also available for the first time in the A6, offering a 2-litre TFSI engine combined with a electric motor.
Electric power is supplied via a 1.3 kWh lithium-ion battery, with electric-only range of 3 km for constant drive and a top speed of .
Audi designed more than 1,100 new, unique parts for the allroad, setting it apart from the standard A6 and making it a true all-terrain vehicle.
The allroad comes standard with an adjustable air suspension system can lift the car high enough to provide of ground clearance; a low-range mode (an option with manual transmission), absent from other quattro-equipped vehicles, can be selected with the touch of a button.
When used together, the two systems made it possible for the allroad to complete an official Land Rover test-course, thus far it is the only car-based SUV that has been proven capable of doing so in testing.
Conversely, the air suspension can lower the vehicle down to only above road level, and simultaneously stiffen the spring and damper rates to provide a sporty driving experience, much like that of the conventional A6 with the sports suspension.
Early variants included 3.0 TFSI quattro (310 PS), 3.0 TDI quattro (204 PS), 3.0 TDI quattro (245 PS), 3.0 TDI quattro (313 PS).
The A6 L (built in China for the Chinese market as a long wheelbase alternative to the standard A6) was unveiled in 2012 in Guangzhou International Sports Arena.
Early models include A6 L TFSI, A6 L 30 FSI, A6 L 35 FSI, A6 L 35 FSI quattro, A6 L 50 TFSI quattro.
Other options include xenon plus headlights with an all-weather light, LED rear lights, an electromechanical parking brake, driver information system with color display, MMI radio plus includes a Bluetooth interface, Audi sound system with ten speakers, MMI navigation plus (hard drive, an eight-inch monitor, MMI touch input system), 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System.
The series production plug-in hybrid car will be available in China in 2016 on the long-wheelbase version, using the same hybrid vehicle powertrain like the concept vehicle.
Available in Saloon and Avant bodies, they are versions of A6 S line with 177 PS 2.0-litre TDI or higher engines (excluding S6) in front-wheel-drive or quattro all-wheel-drive configurations, for the UK market.
It included 20-inch rotor-design alloy wheels with a dark titanium finish, black grille and number plate surrounds and the window frame strips, and by privacy glass extending from the B-pillar rearwards; black roof rails Piano Black inlays, sports seats upholstered in black Valcona leather, black headlining, BOSE audio system with DAB radio, Audi Music Interface (AMI) for iPod connection.
Other options include LED headlights with a unique design, the sport differential on the rear axle, Comfort package, head-up display, the high-performance driver assistance systems, Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System with 15 speakers and 1,200 watts of total power, Bluetooth online car phone.
For A6 Saloon 3.0 TFSI quattro (310 PS), 7-speed S tronic is used in UK model, 8-speed tiptronic is used in US, Canada models.
As part of Audi A6 Avant launch in the UK, BBH London, Knucklehead, The Whitehouse, The Mill produced the 'Hummingbird' TV commercial, directed by Daniel Barber.
The commercial was to imagine what a bird designed by Audi would look like and to reflect the car's ultra-lightweight technology.
In addition, 60 second and 30 versions of the ads were supported by press, print and radio campaigns, as well as a presence on the Daily Telegraph's iPad app.
As part of Audi A6 launch in Taiwan, 2011 Audi Fashion Festival featured the theme of 'A6- The sum of Progress', including Shiatzy Chen, Kiki Huang, Robyn Hung and an artistic jewelry brand, Chen Chan.
As part of 2013 Audi S6 sedan launch in the US market, 3 different versions of 'Prom' commercial were premiered during 2013 Super Bowl game.
Voters were to decide their favourite version of the commercial 24 hours on Friday before the Super Bowl game, with winning entry shown on Saturday at Audi's YouTube channel and during the actual game at CBS.
As part of RS 6 Avant launch, Audi Land of quattro Alpen Tour 2013 featured RS 6 Avant begins on September 23, travelling across twelve driving stages in 6 countries (Klagenfurt – the capital of Carinthia, Austria, Monaco).
In the Audi RS 6 Avant TV commercial titled 'Perfect Fit', it featured a 2012 Audi R18 with the high downforce sprint bodywork in the guise of Audi R18 e-tron quattro.
All engines are offered with a mild hybrid drivetrain that can reduce fuel consumption by up to 0.7 litres per 100 kilometres for the V6-engined vehicles.
Following the launch of the new A6, Audi officially stopped production of the preceding A6 and A7 TDI variants due to an investigation on newly discovered emissions cheating software.
At this time, Audi has stated that the A6 Avant will not be sold in the United States, however the new RS 6 Avant will be sold in the US for the first time in 2020.
The A6 allroad is also on sale for the first time in the United States and Canada for the first time since 2005.
According to Dunne & Company, a research company, as of 2011, purchases in China and Hong Kong make up about half of the 229,200 Audi A6s sold in the world.
After a 1994 campaign from the Chinese government to have officials stop driving Mercedes stretch limousines, the officials began using black Audi A6 cars.
The inferior part of BA40 is in the area of the supramarginal gyrus, which lies at the posterior end of the lateral fissure, in the inferior lateral part of the parietal lobe.
It is bounded caudally by the angular area 39 (H), rostrally and dorsally by the caudal postcentral area 2, and ventrally by the subcentral area 43 and the superior temporal area 22 (Brodmann-1909).
Area PF is the homologue to macaque area PF, part of the mirror neuron system, and active in humans during imitation.
The supramarginal gyrus part of Brodmann area 40 is the region in the inferior parietal lobe that is involved in reading both as regards meaning and phonology.
They may include diarrhea, weight loss, feeling tired, enlargement of the tongue, bleeding, numbness, feeling faint with standing, swelling of the legs, or enlargement of the spleen.
The four most common types of systemic disease are light chain (AL), inflammation (AA), dialysis (AβM), and hereditary and old age (ATTR).
Diagnosis may be suspected when protein is found in the urine, organ enlargement is present, or problems are found with multiple peripheral nerves and it is unclear why.
AL amyloidosis occurs in about 3–13 per million people per year and AA amyloidosis in about 2 per million people per year.
Amyloid deposition in the kidneys can cause nephrotic syndrome, which results from a reduction in the kidney's ability to filter and hold on to proteins.
In AA amyloidosis, the kidneys are involved in 91–96% of people, symptoms ranging from protein in the urine to nephrotic syndrome and rarely chronic kidney disease.
Autonomic neuropathy can present as orthostatic hypotension but may manifest more gradually with nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms like constipation, nausea, or early satiety.
Accumulation of amyloid proteins in the liver can lead to elevations in serum aminotransferases and alkaline phosphatase, two biomarkers of liver injury, which is seen in about one third of people.
One suggested mechanism for the observed malabsorption is that amyloid deposits in the tips of intestinal villi (fingerlike projections that increase the intestinal area available for absorption of food), begin to erode the functionality of the villi, presenting a sprue-like picture.
Twenty percent of people with AL amyloidosis have an enlarged tongue, that can lead to obstructive sleep apnea, difficulty swallowing, and altered taste.
Aβ2MG amyloidosis (Hemodialysis associated amyloidosis) tends to deposit in synovial tissue, causing chronic inflammation of the synovial tissue, which can lead to repeated carpal tunnel syndrome.
Adrenal infiltration may be harder to appreciate given that its symptoms of orthostatic hypotension and low blood sodium concentration may be attributed to autonomic neuropathy and heart failure.
Uncommonly, a collection of amyloid can grow large enough to be classed as an amyloidoma, a macroscopic lump of amyloid that can cause mass effect.
Some proteins are made of one single piece or sequence of amino acids; in other cases, protein fragments are produced, and the fragments come and join together to form the whole protein.
This causes proteolysis, which is the directed breakdown of proteins by cellular enzymes called proteases or by intramolecular digestion; proteases come and digest the misfolded fragments and proteins.
The problem occurs when the proteins do not dissolve in proteolysis because the misfolded proteins sometimes become robust enough such that they are not dissolved by normal proteolysis.
The reason they aggregate is that the parts of the protein that do not dissolve in proteolysis are hydrophobic β-pleated sheets.
They are usually sequestered in the middle of the protein, while parts of the protein that are more soluble are found near the outside.
This ball of fragments gets stabilized by GAGs (glycosaminoglycans) and SAP (serum amyloid P), a component found in amyloid aggregations that is thought to stabilize them and prevent proteolytic cleavage.
The most useful stain in the diagnosis of amyloid is Congo red, which, combined with polarized light, makes the amyloid proteins appear apple-green on microscopy.
An abdominal fat biopsy is not completely sensitive, and sometimes, biopsy of an involved organ (such as the kidney) is required to achieve a diagnosis.
The type of the amyloid protein can be determined in various ways: the detection of abnormal proteins in the bloodstream (on protein electrophoresis or light chain determination); binding of particular antibodies to the amyloid found in the tissue (immunohistochemistry); or extraction of the protein and identification of its individual amino acids.
AL is the most common form of amyloidosis, and a diagnosis often begins with a search for plasma cell dyscrasia, memory B cells producing aberrant immunoglobulins or portions of immunoglobulins.
Alternatively immunohistochemical staining of a bone marrow biopsy looking for dominant plasma cells can be sought in people with a high clinical suspicion for AL amyloidosis but negative electrophoresis.
ATTR, or familial transthyretin-associated amyloidosis, is suspected in people with family history of idiopathic neuropathies or heart failure who lack evidence of plasma cell dyscrasias.
Most classification systems included primary (i.e., idiopathic) amyloidosis, in which no associated clinical condition was identified, and secondary amyloidosis (i.e., secondary to chronic inflammatory conditions).
The modern era of amyloidosis classification began in the late 1960s with the development of methods to make amyloid fibrils soluble.
Descriptive terms such as primary amyloidosis, secondary amyloidosis, and others (e.g., senile amyloidosis), which are not based on cause, provide little useful information and are no longer recommended.
The modern classification of amyloid disease tends to use an abbreviation of the protein that makes the majority of deposits, prefixed with the letter A.
Other forms are due to different diseases causing overabundant or abnormal protein production – such as with overproduction of immunoglobulin light chains (termed AL amyloidosis), or with continuous overproduction of acute phase proteins in chronic inflammation (which can lead to AA amyloidosis).
Additionally, based on the tissues in which it is deposited, it is divided into mesenchymal (organs derived from mesoderm) or parenchymal (organs derived from ectoderm or endoderm).
Treatment with high dose melphalan, a chemotherapy agent, followed by stem cell transplantation has shown promise in early studies and is recommended for stage I and II AL amyloidosis.
In AA, symptoms may improve if the underlying condition is treated; eprodisate has been shown to slow renal impairment by inhibiting polymerization of amyloid fibrils.
People affected by amyloidosis are supported by organizations, including the Amyloidosis Research Consortium, Amyloidosis Foundation, Amyloidosis Support Groups, and Amyloidosis Australia.
More specifically, AL amyloidosis can be classified as stage I, II or III based on cardiac biomarkers like troponin and BNP.
Survival diminishes with increasing stage, with estimated survival of 26, 11 and 3.5 months at stages I, II and III, respectively.
Outcomes in a person with AA amyloidosis depend on the underlying disease and correlate with the concentration of serum amyloid A protein.
Senile systemic amyloidosis was determined to be the primary cause of death for 70% of people over 110 who have been autopsied.
The most common causes of AA amyloidosis in the West are rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, and familial Mediterranean fever.
People undergoing long term hemodialysis (14–15 years) can develop amyloidosis from accumulation of light chains of the HLA 1 complex which is normally filtered out by the kidneys.
Treatments for ATTR-related neuropathy include TTR-specific oligonucleotides in the form of small interfering RNA (patirsiran) or antisense inotersen, the former having recently received FDA approval.
Glodwick is a multi-ethnic residential area in the south of the Oldham, home particularly to a large community of Pakistanis and British Pakistanis.
Lying within the historic county boundaries of Lancashire since the early 12th century, Glodwick, one of the oldest parts of Oldham, was recorded in 1212 as being one of five parts of the thegnage estate of Kaskenmoor, which was held on behalf of King John by Roger de Montbegon and William de Nevill.
Glodwick later formed part of the township of Oldham within the ancient ecclesiastical parish of Prestwich-cum-Oldham, in the hundred of Salford.
In the late-19th and early-20th centuries, Glodwick provided a base for many of the cotton mills that made Oldham the most productive mill town in the world.
Spinning companies like Samuel Milne, Lees & Wrigley, James Collinge & Sons and Bagley & Wright brought employment to the area.
The rioting gained international media coverage, and were said to be the worst racially-motivated riots in the United Kingdom for fifteen years prior, briefly eclipsing the sectarian violence seen in Northern Ireland.
Another prominent and well-used building is the Glodwick Pool (formerly Glodwick Baths) - a purpose built structure administered by Oldham Community Leisure.
Close to Glodwick is a disused quarry that has been designated as a Site of special scientific interest (SSSI) known as Lowside Brickworks.
It has yielded bivalves from the Carboniferous period showing how they interacted with the sediment, which also helps understanding of their morphological variation.
On 24 December 1944, at 5.50am, a V-1 flying bomb fell on Abbey Hills Road near to the junction with Warren Lane.
The bomb was one of over thirty released that morning by a large formation of German Heinkel He 111 bombers just off the North East coast of England.
First's 408 service runs a handful of service to Stalybridge via Abbeyhills and Shaw via Oldham during the day on weekdays, while Manchester Community Transport runs an hourly evening service and Stagecoach Manchester runs the Sunday service.
The 410 and 411 services, operated by Manchester Community Transport, provide a circular service around various parts of east Oldham running along Waterloo Street in Glodwick.
There is no railway station nearby, Glodwick Road station having closed in 1955, but there is a nearby Metrolink stop, which is Oldham Mumps, currently providing links to Manchester and Chorlton.
Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL) () is the flag carrier airline of Tanzania based in Dar es Salaam with its hub at Julius Nyerere International Airport.
It was established as Air Tanzania Corporation (ATC) in 1977 after the dissolution of East African Airways and has been a member of the African Airlines Association since its inception.
The airline was wholly owned by the Tanzanian Government until 2002 when it was partially privatised as per the directive of the Bretton Woods Institutions to implement the country's Structural Adjustment Program.
The partnership lasted for about four years and had accumulated losses of more than Tsh 24 billion (US$19 million) (based on an exchange rate of 1,251.9 as per the WB: http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/PA.NUS.FCRF?page=1) The government repurchased the shares in 2006, making it once again a wholly owned government company.
Despite being the national airline, its market share deteriorated over the years from 19.2 percent in 2009 to 0.4 percent in 2011.
In December of the same year the president's office announced that a four additional aircraft would be purchased for the national carrier, with deliveries set for June 2018.
The Air Tanzania Corporation (ATC) was established on 11 March 1977 after the break-up of East African Airways (EAA), which had previously served the region.
According to Andy Chande, the founding chairman of the board, Tanzania and Uganda did not receive a fair share of the former carrier's assets despite being equal partners.
The airline commenced operations with a Douglas DC-9-32 leased from Kenya Airways and purchased an additional two Boeing 737, financed by a U.S. bank.
In May 1991, Air Tanzania began operating a Boeing 767-200ER that was leased from Ethiopian Airlines, but this aircraft proved to be too large and was returned to the lessor in February 1992.
Flights operated from Dar es Salaam to London–Heathrow via Entebbe on a Boeing 747SP initially, and then a smaller Boeing 767-200.
After signing an agreement with the government, SAA in December 2002 purchased a 49 percent stake in Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL) for US$20 million.
$10 million was the value of the government's shares, and the remaining $10 million was for the Capital and Training Account for financing Air Tanzania's proposed business plan.
The government was expected to sell 10 percent of its 51 percent stake to a private Tanzanian investor, thereby reducing the government's ownership to a non-controlling interest in ATCL.
The new Air Tanzania airline was launched on 31 March 2003, offering direct flights between Johannesburg and Dar es Salaam, but also to Zanzibar and Kilimanjaro.
It had been hoped to launch services to Dubai, India, and Europe, but these were delayed as Air Tanzania had only Boeing 737-200s in its fleet.
The development of Dar es Salaam as an East African hub for the SAA alliance had also not proceeded as quickly as planned.
Air Tanzania suspended on 31 January 2005 one of its few regional services, Dar es Salaam to Nairobi, following intense competition from Kenya Airways on the route.
The airline, however, reaffirmed its intention to launch long-haul services within a year from Dar es Salaam to Dubai, London, Mumbai, and Muscat.
The Tanzanian government announced on 31 March 2006 that it would dispose of ATCL following four years of losses, which amounted to TZS 24.7 billion.
On 7 September 2006, the Tanzanian government bought SAA's 49 percent stake in ATCL for US$1 million, hence officially terminating its partnership with SAA.
After the partnership between Air Tanzania and South African Airways (SAA) was officially terminated, the government set aside TZS 13 billion for Air Tanzania to start using its own ticket stock (number 197) instead of the stock of SAA (number 083), changing revenue systems and fuel services, preparing e-ticketing and accounts systems, using a new trademark, and clearing outstanding debts.
President Jakaya Kikwete appointed Mustafa Nyang'anyi, a veteran politician and diplomat ambassador, as the board chairman, and former Parastatal Pensions Fund director general David Mattaka as managing director and chief executive officer.
The first discussions began with China Sonangol International Limited in 2007, however, the discussions were ultimately unsuccessful and ended in 2010.
A member of the National Assembly of Tanzania also asked the government to claim compensation from SAA for taking aircraft spare parts from the Air Tanzania hangar at the Kilimanjaro International Airport to South Africa.
Air Tanzania was relaunched in September 2007 after the dissolution of the partnership with SAA with two leased Boeing 737-200s in its fleet.
The introduction of the airline's new logo on a leased Airbus A320 bore the image of the imposing giraffe – Tanzania's national icon, to replace the South African Airways flag symbol.
On 1 October 2007, the revamped Air Tanzania made its inaugural flight on the Dar es Salaam to Mwanza via Kilimanjaro route.
In December 2008, the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) withdrew Air Tanzania's Air Operator Certificate because the airline had failed to meet the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization.
Two weeks later, the International Air Transport Association banned the air carrier from all aviation transactions and informed all travel agencies and other aviation companies to stop all transactions with Air Tanzania until further notice.
The certificate was restored in January 2009, with both the TCAA and Air Tanzania claiming there had never been any doubt about the airworthiness of its aircraft.
Once the talks with China Sonangol International limited fell through, press reports in July 2010 indicated that Air Tanzania was in serious discussions with Air Zimbabwe to establish extensive and substantive management collaborative arrangements.
Both airlines were reported to be in search of strategic partners to shore up their operations, which had been in decline over the past decade.
From 2011 to 2015 the airline was in a constant period of decline, with the airline shutting down operations multiple times due to lack of aircraft.
Air Tanzania was effectively grounded in March 2011, after its sole remaining operational aircraft, a Bombardier Q300 was sent to South Africa for heavy maintenance, leaving the carrier literally stranded due to the company having failed to plan forward to have a suitable aircraft leased for the duration.
At the same time, the other Bombardier Q300 was undergoing a heavy C-check at ATCL's hangar at the Dar es Salam Terminal.
The maintenance cost US$1 million, but other accumulated expenses brought the total bill to $3 million, which the Tanzanian government paid in September 2011.
On November 2011 Air Tanzania had leased a Fokker F28 aircraft from JetLink Express on a standby basis in case its only operational aircraft is incapacitated.
The airline assured the public that it would never cease operations again and that more aircraft would be procured over the next several months and years, according to the airline's business plan shared with the media.
On 21 November 2011, Air Tanzania began negotiations with Export Development Canada (EDC) to explore how EDC could assist the airline to acquire more aircraft from Bombardier, a Canadian aircraft manufacturer.
On 29 March 2012, Aerovista leased a Boeing 737-500 to Air Tanzania to enhance the airline's service delivery in the short-term.
The only other aircraft in the fleet, a Bombardier Q300, was stored for maintenance, which caused the airline to suspend operations and rebook passengers to other carriers.
The 737 arrived in Dar es Salaam on 11 October 2012 in Air Tanzania livery and started operations the following day.
In late 2012, the Controller and Auditor General of Tanzania, Ludovick Utouh, recommended the criminal prosecution of three former managers of ATCL for the 2007 lease of the Airbus A320 from Wallis Trading Company, a Lebanese company.
He said there were massive misappropriation and mismanagement of the leasing agreement, resulting in an accumulated debt of US$41.4 million by October 2012, all of which is guaranteed by the government.
The aircraft was in ATCL's possession for 48 months, but it spent 41 of those months in France undergoing a major maintenance.
In the airline's search for a new partner in January 2013, the chairman of Al Hayat Development and Investment Company (AHDIC), Sheikh Salim Al-Harthyan, announced plans for an Omani investment corporation to invest US$100 million in Air Tanzania.
The money would be used to build an airline training centre and offices for Air Tanzania, buy aircraft, and engage in other development activities that would begin before the end of 2013.
But in May 2014, the media reported no progress had been made and that AHDIC might not be a real company.
In September 2016, the Tanzanian government, through its Tanzania Government Flight Agency (TGFA), took delivery of two Bombardier Q400 turboprop aircraft at Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam.
On 2 December 2016, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft announced that the Tanzanian government, acting through its TGFA, had signed firm purchase agreements for two CS300 jetliners and one Q400 turboprop aircraft for lease to Air Tanzania.
This aircraft had been scheduled to be delivered in August 2017, but the delivery was delayed after being seized by Canadian contractor Sterling following the Tanzanian government's unwillingness to settle a US$38.7 million debt awarded to the contractor by the International Court of Arbitration in 2010.
All new aircraft operated by the airline are owned by the Government Flight Agency which then leases them to the airline.
The airline became the first African operator of this aircraft type and the fifth airline globally with an A220 family airplane.
The EuroLeague, known as the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague for sponsorship reasons, is the top-tier European professional basketball club competition, organized by Euroleague Basketball since 2000.
Introduced in 2000, the competition replaced the FIBA EuroLeague (which was previously called the FIBA European Champions Cup, or simply the European Cup), which had been run by FIBA since 1958.
The FIBA European Champions Cup and the EuroLeague are considered to be the same competition, with the change of name being simply a re-branding.
The EuroLeague is one of the most popular indoor sports leagues in the world, with an average attendance of 8,780 for league matches in the 2017–18 season.
That was the fifth-highest of any professional indoor sports league in the world (the highest outside the United States), and the second-highest of any professional basketball league in the world, only behind the National Basketball Association (NBA).
The FIBA European Champions Cup was originally established by FIBA and it operated under its umbrella from 1958 until the summer of 2000, concluding with the 1999–00 season.
Euroleague Basketball simply appropriated the name, and since FIBA had no legal recourse to do anything about it, it was forced to find a new name for its championship series.
Thus, the following 2000–2001 season started with two separate top European professional club basketball competitions: the FIBA SuproLeague (previously known as the FIBA EuroLeague) and the brand new Euroleague 2000–01 season.
Top clubs were also split between the two leagues: Panathinaikos, Maccabi Elite Tel Aviv, CSKA Moscow and Efes Pilsen stayed with FIBA, while Olympiacos, Kinder Bologna, Real Madrid Teka, FC Barcelona, Paf Wennington Bologna, Benetton Treviso, AEK and Tau Cerámica joined Euroleague Basketball.
As a result, European club competition was fully integrated under Euroleague Basketball's umbrella and teams that competed in the FIBA SuproLeague during the 2000–01 season joined it as well.
FIBA stayed in charge of national team competitions (like the FIBA EuroBasket, the FIBA World Cup, and the Summer Olympics), while Euroleague Basketball took over the European professional club competitions.
From that point on, FIBA's Korać Cup and Saporta Cup competitions lasted only one more season before folding, which was when Euroleague Basketball launched the ULEB Cup, now known as the EuroCup.
Both Euroleague Basketball and IMG will manage the commercial operation, and the management of all global rights covering both media and marketing.
Along with the deal the league changed into a true league format, with 16 teams playing each other team in the regular season followed by the playoffs.
EuroLeague has been criticised by FIBA as well as several national federations for creating a 'closed league' and ignoring the principle of meritocracy.
In July 2019, EuroLeague announced that from the 2019–20 season there will be no direct assess to the league through domestic leagues anymore.
On 26 July 2010, Turkish Airlines and Euroleague Basketball announced a €15 million strategic agreement to sponsor the top European basketball competition across the globe.
Similarly, the EuroLeague Final Four would be named the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four, whereby the new league title would appear in all media accordingly.
Starting with the 2016–17 season, the EuroLeague is made up of 16 teams, which each play each other twice, once at home and once away, in a double round robin league regular season, each team playing 30 games.
The top 8 placed teams at the end of the regular season advance to playoffs, each playing a 5 game playoff series against a single opponent.
The regular season standings are used to determine which teams play each other, and in each pairing the higher placed team has home-court advantage in the series, playing 3 of the 5 games at home.
Each team plays a maximum 37 games per season: 30 in the regular season, a maximum of 5 during the playoffs, and 2 in the Final Four.
Currently, 11 out of the 18 EuroLeague places are held by licensed clubs that have long-term licenses with Euroleague Basketball, and are members of the Shareholders Executive Board.
The five associated clubs are awarded through one place going to the winner of the previous season's 2nd-tier European competition, the EuroCup, with the other four places going to a combination of European national domestic league winners (ABA League, VTB United League, Basketball Bundesliga, Liga ACB).
Previously, in 2008, the Euroleague Basketball had originally decided to increase the minimum arena seating requirement to 10,000, within four years time, in order to force EuroLeague clubs to move into and/or build bigger arenas.
It is also televised in the United States and Canada on NBA TV and available online through ESPN3 (in English) and ESPN Deportes (in Spanish) until 2017–18 season.
David Graham served with the RAF as a fighter pilot during the Second World War, and later as a flying instructor.
The present town was established as separate settlement in the late 19th century, on land that was mainly part of Chadwell St Mary.
The name of the present town of Tilbury is derived (by way of the port) from the nearby settlements of East and West Tilbury.
Its counterpart on the south bank of the River Thames, Gravesend, has long been an important communications link, and it was there that a cross-river ferry (see below) was connected, mainly due to the narrowness of the river at this point.
In addition, Gravesend and Northfleet (also on the south shore) both became vitally important to shipping on the Thames: the former as the first port of call for foreign shipping bound for London, and the latter as a naval dockyard.
In the 12th century the river, which had hitherto consisted of difficult channels with uncharted shoals, was changed by the process of embanking the river and enclosing areas of marsh.
In 1588 Queen Elizabeth I came ashore here to review her main army at the nearby village of West Tilbury (see Speech to the Troops at Tilbury).
In 1852 an Act of Parliament had authorised the building of the London Tilbury and Southend Railway (LTSR), with a short spur to take advantage of the ferry over the Thames; a pier nearby was constructed for the steamboat traffic.
A few houses were built for the railway workers, but it was not until the construction of Tilbury Docks (see below) that there was any settlement worthy of a name.
Whilst the docks were being built, the thousands of workers were either provided with temporary accommodation or had to commute from surrounding villages and towns.
As a result of overcrowding, more permanent housing was built once the docks were completed, including tenement blocks; but these were poorly constructed, and until the formation of Tilbury District Council (see below) the town was in a poor state, as it largely remained until 1918, when government funds were available to better the situation.
A sketch-map of 1571 shows evidence of two jetties, the one on the north bank leading to a northward road crossing the marsh.
There are also houses marked on the marsh itself, which became important for sheep grazing; and there is some evidence to suggest that the ferry was used for the cross-river transport of animals and wool.
Although the 17th century drawing might suggest a boat too small for large consignments, the long-established Gravesend market encouraged such traffic, and a contemporary account suggests that one of the boats used was a hoy, a forerunner of the Thames sailing barge.
The curve and narrowness of the river here made it a suitable place to construct forts for the defence of London against foreign invaders.
During the Armada campaign (1588), the fort was reinforced with earthworks and a palisade, and a boom of chains, ships' masts and cables was stretched across the Thames to Gravesend, anchored by lighters.
Until 1903, the marshland area was part of the traditional parish and civil parish of Chadwell St Mary, which reached south to the River Thames.
The parish of Tilbury Docks was established in 1903 and the Tilbury Urban District Council (UDC) in 1912; it merged with Thurrock UDC in 1936.
There are two wards covering the town, each served by two councillors: Tilbury Riverside and Thurrock Park for the southern part and Tilbury St Chad's in the north.
Tilbury is on the north bank of the River Thames, where the river's meander has caused it to narrow to approximately in width.
The area to the north is one-time marshlands; to the north of that there is higher ground, where lie the villages of Chadwell St Mary, West and East Tilbury.
There are two churches in Tilbury: St John's (Church of England) and Our Lady Star of the Sea (Roman Catholic); there is also a Convent of Mercy.
The educational institutions in Tilbury include primary education, which are Lansdowne Primary School, St Mary's RC Primary School and Tilbury Manor Primary School.
The Port of Tilbury handles a variety of bulk cargo, timber, cars and container traffic and remains, along with Southampton and Felixstowe, one of Britain's three major container ports.
The one-time passenger landing stage was reopened by the Port of Tilbury group as the London Cruise Terminal, though it is no longer served by the railway.
The resulting loss of jobs has never been made up, and Tilbury today has high unemployment and education and employment prospects are widely perceived as poor.
Thurrock Council, together with Kent County Council, subsidises the ferry between Tilbury and Gravesend, which is currently operated by the Lower Thames & Medway Passenger Boat Company.
Bus route 99 (operated in partnership by both c2c rail and Ensignbus) now connects Tilbury Town railway station and the ferry.
Notable people who have had some connection with Tilbury include: two football players, John Evans (1929–2004), who played for Liverpool, and Tom Scannell (1925–1994); Noel Betowski, artist, who was born there in 1952; Thomas Horrocks Openshaw (1856–1929), who was a consultant surgeon at Tilbury Hospital; and actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje whose childhood being raised there by foster parents is documented in the movie Farming .
The racing was independent (not affiliated to the sports governing body the National Greyhound Racing Club) and was known as a flapping track, which was the nickname given to independent tracks.
The racing is believed to have been operational in the 1930s and lasted until 1947, when a betting licence had been granted.
A later venue called the Tilbury Stadium on land at the end of Dunlop Road also hosted greyhounds between 1964 and 1967.
The city officially divides it into two neighborhoods, Squirrel Hill North and Squirrel Hill South, but it is almost universally treated as a single neighborhood.
Squirrel Hill North has five borders with the Pittsburgh neighborhoods of Shadyside to the north, Point Breeze to the east, Squirrel Hill South to the south, Central Oakland to the southwest and North Oakland to the west.
Squirrel Hill South has nine land borders with the Pittsburgh neighborhoods of Squirrel Hill North to the north and northwest, Point Breeze to the northeast, Regent Square to the east, Swisshelm Park to the southeast, Glen Hazel and Hazelwood to the south-southwest, Greenfield to the southwest, and South Oakland and Central Oakland to the west.
Squirrel Hill South has a population of 15,110, up 4% since 2000, of whom 82% are White, 11% are Asian, 3% are Hispanic, and 3% are Black.
According to a 2002 study by the United Jewish Federation, 33% of the Jewish population of Greater Pittsburgh lives in Squirrel Hill, and another 14% lives in the surrounding neighborhoods.
In the October 17, 2019 issue of Pittsburgh Magazine, the area is also becoming Pittsburgh’s new Chinatown with an influx of mainland Chinese students from Carnegie Mellon University.
The first recorded house was built in 1760 by a soldier at nearby Fort Pitt, Colonel James Burd, at a place called Summerset on the Monongahela River.
This house is still standing and is located in what is now Schenley Park along Overlook Drive (near the ice skating rink).
He later established the Turner cemetery in 1838 inside his estate, which he donated to the local community when he died in 1840.
The third house in Squirrel Hill, Neill Log House, was built by Robert Neill around 1787, also in what is now Schenley Park.
For a time, the house was rented out by the city to vacationers, but by 1969, the house was in such poor condition that it was dismantled and rebuilt by the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation.
The cottage was built by the industrialist and civic leader Thomas M. Howe, a bank president and member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1851 to 1855.
Though neglected for many years and almost torn down, Willow Cottage has recently undergone a $2.2 million restoration and renovation into a Chatham University gatehouse and guesthouse.
On December 24, 1860, protests broke out in the streets of Squirrel Hill after news arrived that the U.S. Secretary of War, John B. Floyd had ordered 124 cannons to be shipped from Allegheny Arsenal to two forts under construction in Louisiana and Texas.
The inhabitants of Pittsburgh predicted that these weapons would be used against them if the South seceded, and this did indeed happen at Fort Sumter.
Following the Civil War, several of Pittsburgh's richest families built multiple houses in the Woodland Road area between Fifth and Wilkins Avenues.
In 1869, the clubhouse of the Pittsburgh Golf Club was built at the new Schenley Park Golf Course (The present building by Alden and Harlow was constructed in 1900).
Over the course of the 19th century, the focus of Squirrel Hill shifted from its riverfront at the Monongahela River to the area closest to Oakland and Shadyside.
Ebdy's orchard was located near Shady Avenue and Murdoch's farm, known for its flowers, fruit trees, and vegetable trees was located on the hill above Oakland.
By the late 1800s, the building of trolley lines caused a migration of wealthy executives outwards toward country estates and workers inward toward trolley lines.
The trolley line facilitated the building of hundreds of houses for the middle management of local factories, especially on Shady and Denniston Avenues near Aylesboro.
Murray Avenue carried three Pittsburgh Railways trolley lines (#69 Squirrel Hill, #60 East Liberty-Homestead and #68 Homestead-Duquesne-Kennywood-McKeesport) until 1958 when the trolleys were replaced by buses.
Squirrel Hill grew even more with the opening of the Boulevard of the Allies in 1927, providing a direct link to downtown Pittsburgh.
In addition to the many retail businesses in the neighborhood, there are a number of longtime, non-profit organizations, including a branch of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, the Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh, the Jewish Family & Children's Service of Pittsburgh, the Children's Institute of Pittsburgh, and the Squirrel Hill Urban Coalition.
In 1889, Schenley Park was established on land donated from Mary Schenley, whose grandfather had been the owner of considerable amounts of land in the area.
When Henry Clay Frick died in 1919, he bequeathed of undeveloped land to the City of Pittsburgh for use as a public park.
Between 1919 and 1942, money from the trust fund was used to enlarge the park, increasing its size to almost .
In February 2004, Frick Park grew with the addition of the Nine Mile Run stream restoration area which flows to the Monongahela River.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers managed the restoration funded with $5 million in federal money and $2.7 million raised by the city.
The origins of Squirrel Hill's Jewish community dates from the 1920s when Eastern European Jews began to move to the neighborhood in large numbers from Oakland and the Hill District.
Many of them took up residence in rows of brick houses on the cross streets of Murray Avenue south of Forbes, such as Darlington Road, Bartlett Street, and Beacon Street.
The neighborhood became the center of Jewish culture in the city, with kosher butcher shops, delicatessens, Jewish restaurants, bookstores, and designer boutiques.
A 2017 study of the Greater Pittsburgh Jewish community, conducted by researchers at Brandeis University and commissioned by the local Jewish Federation, found that 26% of Pittsburgh-area Jews live in Squirrel Hill, 20% live in South Hills, 9% live in North Hills, 31% live in other areas of Pittsburgh, and 14% live in other areas of the region.
Although Squirrel Hill remains the traditional center of Jewish life in the region, the study found a shift to more suburban areas.
The study also found an increase in the population of Jews who identify as Orthodox or secular, and a decrease in the number of Jews who identify as Conservative and Reform denominations.
All of Squirrel Hill, as well as much of the neighboring neighborhoods of Greenfield and Regent Square, is within an eruv, a symbolic enclosure that allows Orthodox Jews to push or carry items on Shabbat (the Jewish sabbath, in which no work is traditionally done).
Squirrel Hill contains three Jewish day schools: two are affiliated with the Chabad and Modern Orthodox movements, respectively, while Community Day School is a co-ed, independent Jewish day school in the neighborhood that attracts families across the wide spectrum of Jewish belief and practice.
On April 17, 1986, Neal Rosenblum, a 24-year-old rabbinical student visiting from Toronto, was shot and killed near his in-laws' house in Squirrel Hill.
A suspect, 45-year-old Steven M. Tielsch, was arrested in 2000 after bragging to a fellow prison inmate that he had killed a Jew.
Tielsch's first three trials ended in a deadlocked jury; he was convicted of third-degree murder in a fourth trial in 2002.
On October 27, 2018, a gunman entered the Tree of Life – Or L'Simcha synagogue during Shabbat morning services and opened fire, killing 11 Jews and injuring 6, including 4 police officers.
The Free Public School Act of 1834 ordered school districts not only to establish free schools but also to establish them in townships outside city limits.
John Turner, who never learned to read or write but became a wealthy landowner, left land and money to the community to build a school when he died in 1844 at the age of 83.
It was replaced by John Minadeo Elementary School, named for a ninth-grade school crossing guard who gave his life to save a group of young students in the path of a runaway car near Gladstone School.
After Peebles Township was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1868, Squirrel Hill became the Colfax School District, named for Schuyler Colfax, who was Vice President of the United States under President Ulysses S. Grant.
3, on Forward Avenue, became Forward Avenue School and was named after Walter Forward, who was appointed U.S. Secretary of the Treasury by President John Tyler.
The school was torn down in 1923, but its retaining wall still exists under the Parkway East bridge over Saline Street.
5, at Solway and Wightman streets, became Wightman School and was named for Thomas Wightman, owner of the Thomas Wightman Glass Company.
Wightman operated as a school from 1897 to 1980 and since then has been used as a community center building and the home of Carriage House Children's Center.
The building underwent extensive restoration and remodeling to make it one of only two older buildings in Western Pennsylvania to have LEED Gold certification.
It was named for the president of the National Tube Company, who was also a member of the Pittsburgh Public Schools Board of Education, which was created in 1911 and given jurisdiction over all the public schools in the city, including those in Squirrel Hill.
Some private schools located in Squirrel Hill are St. Edmund's Academy, a private nonsectarian (formerly Episcopal) elementary school; Community Day School, a co-ed, independent Jewish day school for students ages 3 to grade 8; Hillel Academy of Pittsburgh; and Yeshiva Schools of Pittsburgh.
The neighborhood is represented on Pittsburgh City Council by Corey O'Connor (District 5, Squirrel Hill South) and Erika Strassburger (District 8, Squirrel Hill North).

The difference between hematochezia and rectorrhagia is that, in the latter, rectal bleeding is not associated with defecation; instead, it is associated with expulsion of fresh bright red blood without stools.
Hematochezia from upper gastrointestinal, small bowel, or colonic sources can present with moderate to large volume bleeding, whereas patients with rectal or anal outlet bleeding usually present with ‘drops’ or ‘streaks’ on the stool or toilet paper.
In adults, most common causes are hemorrhoids and diverticulosis, both of which are relatively benign; however, it can also be caused by colorectal cancer, which is potentially fatal.
In a newborn infant, haematochezia may be the result of swallowed maternal blood at the time of delivery, but can also be an initial symptom of necrotizing enterocolitis, a serious condition affecting premature infants.
In adolescents and young adults, inflammatory bowel disease, particularly ulcerative colitis, is a serious cause of hematochezia that must be considered and excluded.
Haematochezia from an upper gastrointestinal source is an ominous sign, as it suggests a very significant bleed which is more likely to be life-threatening.
Eating beetroot can cause harmless red-colored feces (beeturia) because of insufficient metabolism of a red pigment, and is a differential sign that may be mistaken as hematochezia.
Consumption of dragon fruit (pitaya) or blackberries may also cause red or black discoloration of the stool and sometimes the urine (pseudohematuria).
Hematochezia is a common clinical presentation, reported in up to 15% of adults in the primary care setting, and estimated to be responsible for an annual hospitalization rate of 21 per 100000.
Tilbury Fort, also known historically as the Thermitage Bulwark and the West Tilbury Blockhouse, is an artillery fort on the north bank of the River Thames in England.
The earliest version of the fort, comprising a small blockhouse with artillery covering the river, was constructed by King Henry VIII to protect London against attack from France as part of his Device programme.
It was reinforced during the 1588 Spanish Armada invasion scare, after which it was reinforced with earthwork bastion, and Parliamentary forces used it to help secure the capital during the English Civil War of the 1640s.
Following naval raids during the Anglo-Dutch Wars, the fort was enlarged by Sir Bernard de Gomme from 1670 onwards to form a star-shaped defensive work, with angular bastions, water-filled moats and two lines of guns facing onto the river.
In addition to protecting the Thames, in the 18th century Tilbury also began to be used a transit depot and for storing gunpowder.
It continued to be essential for the defence of the capital and a new artillery battery was added in the south-east corner during the Napoleonic Wars.
It was redeveloped to hold heavy artillery after 1868, providing a second-line of defence along the river, but further changes in technology meant that it had become obsolete by the end of the century.
Instead Tilbury became a strategic depot, forming a logistical hub for storing and moving troops and materiel throughout the First World War.
Many of the more modern military features were demolished during the 1950s, with further restoration work taking place during the 1970s ahead of the site opening to the public in 1983.
The first permanent fortification at Tilbury in Essex was built as a consequence of international tensions between England, France and the Holy Roman Empire in the final years of the reign of King Henry VIII.
Traditionally the Crown had left coastal defences to the local lords and communities, only taking a modest role in building and maintaining fortifications, and while France and the Empire remained in conflict with one another, maritime raids were common but an actual invasion of England seemed unlikely.
Basic defences, based around simple blockhouses and towers, existed in the south-west and along the Sussex coast, with a few more impressive works in the north of England, but in general the fortifications were very limited in scale.
In 1533, Henry broke with Pope Paul III in order to annul the long-standing marriage to his wife, Catherine of Aragon, and remarry.
This resulted in France and the Empire declaring an alliance against Henry in 1538, and the Pope encouraging the two countries to attack England.
The River Thames was strategically important, as the city of London and the newly constructed royal dockyards of Deptford and Woolwich were vulnerable to seaborne attacks arriving up the estuary, which was a major maritime route, carrying 80 percent of England's exports.
This was also the first point that an invasion force would be able to easily disembark along the Thames, as before this point the mudflats along the sides of the estuary would have made landings difficult.
Temporary defences had been constructed at Tilbury as early as the 14th and 15th centuries, although little is known about their design.
Under the King's new programme of work, the Thames was protected with a mutually reinforcing network of blockhouses at Gravesend, Milton, and Higham on the south side of the river, and West and East Tilbury on the opposite bank.
It was designed by James Nedeham and Christopher Morice, supported by three overseers; prior to the work, the estimated cost had been given as £211, allowing for stone, timber, 150,000 bricks and of chalk.
The D-shaped blockhouse was curved at the front, with two storeys of gun-ports, and probably had additional gun platforms stretching along the river on either side of it; ancillary buildings were placed at the rear and the whole site was protected by a rampart and a ditch, with extensive marshlands and creeks giving additional protection to the east.
It was initially commanded by Captain Francis Grant and his deputy, and garrisoned with a porter, two soldiers and four gunners, equipped with up to five artillery pieces including a demi-cannon and sakers.
The invasion threat passed and in 1553 all of the blockhouses were ordered to return their guns; Milton and Higham were demolished.
An army was mobilised to protect the mouth of the estuary and emergency improvements to the fortifications at Tilbury Blockhouse were made by Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester.
Queen Elizabeth I visited the fort by barge on 8 August 1588 and rode in procession to the nearby army camp, where she gave a speech to the assembled forces.
Fears of invasion continued even after the defeat of the Armada, and over the course of the next year the Italian engineer, Federigo Giambelli, reinforced the blockhouse with probably two concentric earthwork ramparts, with ditches and a palisade.
In the early 1600s, England was at peace with France and Spain and as a result the coastal defences received little attention; surveys reported multiple problems with Tilbury Fort including flooding caused by the estuary tides, and ferry passengers and animals making their way uninvited into the fort.
Tilbury was controlled by Parliament, who placed the Tilbury and Gravesend forts under the command of a military governor, using them to control traffic entering London and to search for spies; it saw no military action during the war.
After Charles II was restored to the throne in 1660, he began a wide-ranging programme of work on the coastal defences.
The Dutch fleet then attacked up the Thames in June 1667, but were deterred from going further for fear of the Tilbury and Gravesend fortifications.
In reality, the forts were poorly prepared to resist a Dutch attack; at Tilbury there were only two guns ready for action.
The Dutch struck the English fleet at Medway instead, giving enough time for the government to improve the defences along the Thames and mount 80 guns on the forts.
In the wake of the conflict, the King instructed his Chief Engineer, a Dutchman called Sir Bernard de Gomme, to develop Tilbury Fort's defences further.
De Gomme prepared several plans for the King in 1665; a further iteration of the designs was submitted in 1670 and given royal approval.
The work was carried out by skilled contractors, who were supplemented by large teams of pressed men brought in from across the region; during 1671, up to 256 workers were employed on the site.
Around 3,000 timber piles had to be brought from Norway for the project in 1671 to support the foundations in the marshy ground.
The resources needed for the King's multiple defence projects became stretched, and one of the planned bastions at Tilbury, originally planned to face the river, was cancelled in 1681, in part to save money.
The result was a large, five-sided, star-shaped fort with four angular bastions, revetted in brick, with an outer curtain of defences, including two moats and a redoubt; two new gatehouses defended the entrance from the north.
The interior of the fort was raised up above the level of the marshes to prevent flooding, and barracks and other buildings were constructed inside.
The number of artillery guns varied; in 1715 there were 17 demi-cannon and 26 culverins mounted on the west gun platform, and 31 demi-cannons and one culverin on the east; the following year there were reported to be 161 guns in total at the fort, although 92 of these were in poor repair and inoperable.
From 1716 onwards, the Board of Ordnance began to use it as a gunpowder depot; there were safety restrictions on moving gunpowder in and out of the London docks, so Tilbury was used instead.
Two large magazines were built, able to hold 3,600 barrels of powder each, and the old blockhouse and other buildings were converted to act as further magazines.
It was also used as a transit depot for soldiers and, after the Jacobite rising of 1745, as a prison to hold 268 Highlander prisoners of war.
The Jacobite prisoners were kept in the gunpowder magazines and 45 died from typhus before they were sent on to London for trial.
A trader called a sutler built a house inside the southern entrance, growing vegetables within the south-west bastion and enjoying an effective monopoly on selling food to the soldiers.
New barracks for the officers and enlisted men were rebuilt in 1772, but the officers often preferred to live across the river in the more urban setting of Gravesend, near the military headquarters there.
A cricket match in 1776 between men from the Kentish and Essex sides of the Thames reportedly ended in bloodshed when guns were seized from the guardroom; newspapers recounted how an Essex man and a sergeant were shot dead, and a soldier was bayonetted, before both sides fled the scene.
It is uncertain how accurate the newspaper account was, although the historians Andrew Saunders and Charles Kightly give it some credence.
In 1780, the Army carried out a practice attack on the fort with 5,000 soldiers, but there were less than 60 guns left at the fort and many of these were in poor condition.
As a consequence, a new battery was built in the south-east corner of the defences, armed with 32-pounders (14.5 kg) pointing down-river, and a new battery, New Tavern Fort, was built along the river to the east.
Tilbury continued to be an essential part of the capital's defences because of its control of the crossing point on the Thames, and the guns were upgraded with new traversing platforms; the Gravesend Volunteer Artillery was formed to man the forts on both sides of the river.
During the invasion scare of 1803, the Royal Trinity House Volunteer Artillery manned ten armed hulks placed across the river as a barrier at Tilbury.
The size of the garrison varied during the first half of the century, but in 1830 the fort had space for 15 officers and 150 enlisted men.
Despite the construction of a new range of facilities in 1809, the living conditions of the soldiers remained poor, with four men sharing each of the two-bed rooms in the barracks, and no running water on the site.
Nationwide investigations into the standard of Army barracks during 1857 led to investment in better facilities at Tilbury; piped water was run into the site in 1877, and improved amenities and sanitation were installed after 1880.
By the 1850s, the advent of steam ships meant that enemy vessels could sail up the Thames far more quickly than before, reducing the time available for forts to intercept them.
Rifled guns and turret-mounted weapons and new armour-plating meant that enemy warships could fire on forts such as Tilbury from downstream more easily while being protected from their guns.
Fears of an potential invasion by Napoleon III of France led to the establishment Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom in 1859.
The Commission reported the following year and recommended that new, more powerful forts be built further downstream, with defences such as Tilbury Fort forming a second-line of defence.
Work began on strengthening Tilbury in 1868, under the direction of the then Captain Charles Gordon, focusing on adding heavier gun positions able to fire upstream to support the new forts.
The west, north-east and east bastions and the south-east curtain wall were altered to house thirteen rifled muzzle-loading guns, protected by brick walls, earthworks and iron shields.
Initially 7-ton, 7-inch (7,112 kg, 17 cm) guns were deployed but these were upgraded to 9-inch (22 cm) weapons by 1888, supported by a heavier 25-ton, 11-inch (25,401 kg, 27 cm) gun.
The government considered the defences further down the Thames to be sufficient and Tilbury was therefore not improved; it was largely redundant as a defensive fortification by the end of the century, although still in use as a strategic depot.
From 1889 onwards it formed a mobilisation centre to support a mobile strike force in the event of an invasion, part of the wider London Defence Scheme, and large storage buildings were built across the site to store materiel.
Fresh concerns grew that the Thames might be vulnerable to attack from torpedo boats and armoured cruisers, and in 1903 four quick-firing 12-pounder, 12 cwt (5.4 kg, 50.8 kg) guns were positioned on Tilbury's south-east curtain wall, supplemented in 1904 by two 6-inch (15 cm) breech loading guns.
In 1905, however, the government decided that the Royal Navy and the forts downstream gave sufficient protection for the capital and removed the artillery, leaving only machine-guns in place.
Tilbury continued to function as a mobilisation store and, after the outbreak of the First World War, it was used to house up to 300 transit soldiers and to supply the new army camps established at Purfleet and Belhus Mansion.
It was initially manned by the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers until 1916, and by various reserve units for the rest of the war.
The fort itself was used to store munitions while a depot for remounts was built just to the west; a pontoon bridge was built across the Thames for troop movements, guarded by the fort's guns.
Electric lighting was installed, and a narrow-gauge railway and a steam crane on the quay were added to help to move material in and out of the fort.
During the inter-war years, the government concluded that the fort was no longer militarily useful and there were unsuccessful attempts to sell it off for development.
During the Second World War, the fort initially housed an improvised anti-aircraft operations room, controlling the defences of the Thames and Medway (North) Gun Zone between 1939 and 1940.
The enlisted barracks and the facilities block, as well as probably the sutler's house, were bombed and damaged, being demolished after the war.
The fort was transferred out of military use relatively early in the post-war period, and in 1950 the Ministry of Works took over the site.
In the 21st century, the fort is controlled by English Heritage and operated as a tourist attraction, receiving 16,154 visitors in 2014.
The site is protected under UK law as a scheduled ancient monument, with the officers' barracks a grade II* listed building.
Tilbury Fort remains largely unaltered from its reconstruction in the late 17th century under the direction of Sir Bernard de Gomme, with some 19th century additions.
It was designed in a predominantly Dutch style, with a ring of outer and inner defences intended to allow the fort to attack hostile warships, while being protected from attack from the land.
The outer defences comprise outer and inner water-filled moats, fed by the Thames and separated by a ring of defensive ramparts.
The inner moat is wide but relatively shallow and the banks have been repeatedly strengthened with piles to protect them from erosion.
The fort is entered from the north through a triangular defensive work known as a redan, with a redoubt to defend the entrance.
A causeway links the redan to the outer defences, which form a complex pattern of ramparts, protecting a covered way stretching around the defensive line.
There are bastions on the north-west and north-east corners, and two triangular spurs, originally equipped with cannons, project from the defences on the west and east sides, with assembly points for infantry soldiers on the inside.
A replica wooden bridge runs from the outer defences over the water to an island called a ravelin, which is in turn linked to the inner defences by another replica bridge, protected with two drawbridges.
The ravelin formed a physical barrier to incoming artillery fire aimed at the entrance to the inner defences and could also have directed fire against enemy forces that breached the outer defensive line.
These were built in the 18th century and have been subject to considerable erosion and silting; 12 of the original 14 gun positions on the West Line remain but only one of the East Line has survived.
In between the lines is a quay, designed to allow the delivery of supplies from the Thames, and the remains of the tracks from the narrow gauge railway built during the First World War.
A sluice gate in the south-west corner managed the water in the moats, and allowed them to be drained completely should the surfaces begin to freeze over in winter and provide an advantage to any attackers.
This two-storeyed gatehouse dates from the late 17th century with a monumental stone facade featuring carved displays of classical and 17th-century weapons; when first built, the now-empty niche at the front probably held a statue of King Charles II.
The central parade ground was raised to its current height in the 17th and 19th centuries using chalk and dirt, and by the early 20th century much of it was occupied by four large warehouses, since destroyed.
Moving east from the Water Gate, the south-eastern curtain defences and the south-east bastion were rebuilt at the start of the 20th century to hold emplacements for four quick-firing guns and two 6-inch (15 cm) guns, with tunnels linking to an underground magazine.
Facing the parade ground are the officers' quarters, a terrace of houses probably dating in its current form to the late 18th century, with a stables at the northern end, originally used to hold the commandant's horses.
The north-east bastion was redesigned after 1868 and contains an earth-covered magazine, as well as emplacements for 9-inch (22 cm) rifled muzzle loading guns.
These were specially designed to avoid the use of iron, which might have generated sparks and set off an explosion, instead being built using wood and copper; they are the only remaining examples of their type in Britain.
The Landport Gate lies behind the magazines, and has a gatehouse, called the Dead House, above the passageway leading into the interior of the fort.
Past the north-west bastion, the soldiers' barracks would have stood opposite those of the officers', but was destroyed after the war and only the foundations of the building remain.
Just to the west of the Water Gate is the fort's guardhouse and chapel, dating from the late 17th century and one of the oldest surviving places of worship within a British artillery fortress.

His father, Herbert, was a dyer and then retrained as a cobbler after being wounded during World War I and he died when Lockwood was 10.
Lockwood argued that the class position of any occupation can be most successfully located by distinguishing between the material rewards gained from the market and work situations, and those symbolic rewards deriving from its status situation.
His work became a very important contribution to the 'proletarianisation' debate which argued that many white-collar workers were beginning to identify with manual workers by identifying their work situation as having much in common with the proletariat.

Kamehameha Schools, formerly called Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estate (KSBE), is a private school system in Hawaii established by the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Estate, under the terms of the will of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, who was a formal member of the House of Kamehameha.
It was developed at the bequest of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop to educate children of Hawaiian descent, and is designed to serve students from preschool through twelfth grade.
The school teaches in the English language a college-prep education enhanced by Hawaiian culture, language and practices, imparting historical and practical value of continuing Hawaiian traditions.
A lawsuit challenging the school's admission policy resulted in a narrow victory for Kamehameha in the Ninth Circuit Court; however, Kamehameha ultimately settled, paying the plaintiff $7 million.
As of the 2011–12 school year, Kamehameha had an enrollment of 5,398 students at its three main campuses and 1,317 children at its preschools, for a total enrollment of 5,416.
Beyond its campuses, Kamehameha served an estimated 46,923 Hawaiians in 2011 through its support for public schools, charter schools, and families and caregivers throughout Hawaii.
In 1883, Bernice Pauahi Bishop, a member of the Hawaiian Royal Family, directed in her will, after naming heirs for gifts of money and land, that the remainder of her estate be held in trust to create the Kamehameha Schools.
A majority of the Bishop estate was inherited from her parent and her cousin Ruth Keelikōlani, who in turn had inherited a substantial amount from her first husband Leleiohoku I and her half-siblings Victoria Kamāmalu and Kamehameha V, all who were given substantial amounts of land in the Great Mahele of 1848 which had divided the land of the kingdom amongst the King, the ali'i and the common people.
She was well aware that education was key to the survival of her people and culture; therefore, she left 375,000 acres of ancestral land, entrusting her trustees to use this gift to educate her people.
She also directed the Hawaii (Kingdom) Supreme Court to appoint replacement trustees and required that all teachers be Protestant, without regard to denomination.
Reverend William Brewster Oleson (1851–1915), former principal of the Hilo boarding school founded by David Belden Lyman in 1836, helped organize the schools on a similar model of European-American education.
The original Kamehameha School for Boys opened in 1887; after it moved to a new campus, that site was later taken over by the Bishop Museum.
The schools became co-ed in 1965 In 1996, the school opened a campus on Maui, followed in 2001 by the campus on Hawaii.
In 1991, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) brought suit against Kamehameha Schools alleging that its requirement that all teachers be Protestant was religious discrimination in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The United States District Court for the District of Hawaii found in the School's favor, ruling that the religious education exemption, the religious curriculum exemption, and the bona fide occupational qualification exemption were each applicable to Kamehameha Schools.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the decision of the District Court, holding that none of the exemptions to the Civil Rights Act was applicable since the School was essentially a secular and not primarily a religious institution despite certain historical traditions including Protestantism.
As a result, the requirement that all teachers be Protestant was held to be a violation of the Civil Rights Act.
After the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1893 and the annexation of the Republic of Hawaii by the United States, the Territorial and State Supreme Court assumed that responsibility.
At that time, critics alleged that the trustees were micromanaging the schools and that they had vastly over-rewarded themselves in their pay.
On August 9, 1997, University of Hawaii (UH) Board of Regents Chair (and former Kamehameha Schools Principal) Gladys Brandt, retired judge Walter Heen, Msgr.
Another essay appeared in November, with Brandt, UH Professor Isabella Abbott, respected Hawaiian cultural educator Winona Beamer, and others as authors.
The investigation continued through 1998, when Attorney General Bronster sought the permanent removal of Lindsey and fellow trustees Richard Wong and Henry Peters.
However, the investigation proved costly for Bronster, whose confirmation was defeated by the Hawaii State Senate on April 28, 1999 by a vote of 14-11.
The US Internal Revenue Service retroactively revoked Bishop Estate's tax exempt status because of the trustees' breach of duties and unlawful use of tax exempt charitable trust assets for political lobbying.
Wong offered his permanent resignation on December 3, 1999; Peters did the same on December 13; and Lindsey voluntarily resigned on December 17.
Although new Bishop Estate trustees were appointed, they had continued to use the same attorneys and law firms as their predecessors.
Deputy attorneys general advised the replacement trustees that these attorneys and law firms either had provided flawed legal advice to the previous trustees, or stood by silently while the trustees had ignored good advice.
In 2002, the Hawaii Supreme Court threw out the criminal indictments against three Bishop Estate trustees on procedural grounds and ruled no new charges could be brought.
In 2009, after a large decline in the endowment, trustee compensation ranged from $97,500 to $125,000 per year, and trustees turned down any pay increases.
The main campus, established in 1887 as the Kamehameha Schools for Boys, occupies on Kapālama Heights in Honolulu and served 3,200 students, including 550 boarding students from neighbor islands.
In 2010, Kamehameha undertook a $118.5 million construction project featuring a brand-new middle school, a Hawaiian cultural center, a new athletics building, and a parking structure.
When compared against the endowments of major U.S. colleges and universities, only six schools (Harvard University, Yale University, Stanford University, Princeton University, University of Texas System, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology), each with much higher enrollments, have higher endowments than Kamehameha Schools.
Commercial properties operating on Kamehameha Schools land include shopping centers, such as Windward Mall, Pearlridge, Kahala Mall, and Royal Hawaiian Center; and hotels, such as the Kahala Hotel & Resort, the Four Seasons Resort Hualālai, and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.
Kamehameha is also redeveloping several of its urban real estate properties in Haleiwa, Kāhala, Kakaako, Kapālama, and Mōʻiliʻili to revitalize those areas and increase commercial revenue.
On October 22, 2013, Kamehameha Schools announced that it would sell the buildings of its largest single real estate property (in terms of value), the Royal Hawaiian Center.
Acceptance rates at the Maui and Hawaii campuses are generally higher, ranging from approximately 9.2% to 24%, due to those islands' smaller populations and the lack of boarding students at those facilities.
Kamehameha's admissions policy was the focus of two federal lawsuits, which contended that preferring Native Hawaiians is a race-based exclusion that violates U.S. civil rights law.
The case was settled out-of-court in November 2003, when Kamehameha Schools agreed to let Mohica-Cummings attend, in exchange for dropping the lawsuit.
In June 2003 a suit was filed on behalf of an unidentified non-Hawaiian student, claiming that preferring Hawaiian applicants violates provisions of the Civil Rights Act that prohibits racial discrimination in private contracts.
In August 2005, however, a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit of Appeals reversed 2–1, and ruled that the policy was racially exclusionary.
A protest march by native Hawaiians, including Hawaii's governor and lieutenant governor, to Iolani Palace and a rally on the palace grounds attracted an estimated 10–15,000 participants.
The majority ruled that Kamehameha's policy does not run afoul of a civil rights law, citing what it said were unique factors in the history of Hawaii, the socioeconomic plight of Native Hawaiians, and the schools' distinctively remedial mission, which Congress has repeatedly endorsed.
Both this settlement and the Ninth Circuit's decision prompted a procession at the Kapalama High School, leading to an all-school assembly.
On the same day, John Doe's attorneys, Eric Grant and David Rosen, filed another lawsuit against Kamehameha on behalf of four non-Hawaiian children who wanted to attend the school.
The campuses offer academies for arts and communication, business and leadership, engineering and design, health and wellness, and science and natural resources.
Students in the 2010 graduating class of the Kapālama campus had an average composite SAT score of 1560 out of 2400.
The Kapālama high school offers a six-year program in Hawaiian language and requires its students to achieve Hawaiian language proficiency equivalent to one year of study.
Kamehameha offers several distance learning programs for high school students, adults, and educators to learn Hawaiian language and culture over the Internet.
As a part of its 2000-2015 Strategic Plan, generated by wide community input, Kamehameha Schools partners with more than 20 community-based organizations across the archipelago through its Aina Ulu program to deliver natural and cultural resource stewardship education programs and services to over 25,000 participants annually.
Aina Ulu provides an asset-management strategy by integrating community, education, cultural, environmental and economic outcomes to manage resources and lands to enhance prudent and sustainable use, responsible stewardship and supportive community relationships.
By engaging community volunteers and expertise, Aina Ulu partners manage, protect and restore native watershed, dryland and rain forests; riparian, coastal, and estuarine ecosystems, including Hawaiian fishponds; and Hawaiian food systems, including dry field systems, as well as wet field systems call loi.
Along with the Ke Alii Pauahi Foundation, Kamehameha offers a variety of need- and merit-based scholarships for those pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate education.
Its career counseling program provides advice and counseling for post-high school students and operates an internship program for various companies statewide.
The Kamehameha Schools Song Contest is an annual choral competition in which groups of students of the Kapālama campus perform Hawaiian mele.
According to the 2008 program, the goals of the contest are to develop leadership and foster cooperation and class spirit among the students as well as well as to increase student awareness of their cultural heritage by allowing them to use their singing voices to express themselves.
The event was originally held on campus, but moved to the moved to the Neal Blaisdell Center (formerly the Honolulu International Auditorium) in 1964 where it has been held ever since.
Microsoft XNA (a recursive acronym for XNA's not acronymed) is a freeware set of tools with a managed runtime environment provided by Microsoft that facilitates video game development and management.
XNA content is built with the XNA Game Studio, and played using the XNA Framework (for Windows games), or published as native executables (for Xbox 360, Windows Phone and Zune).
An open source cross platform version of the Microsoft XNA 4 Application programming interface called MonoGame is being developed, and a crossplatform reimplementation of the XNA API called FNA exists as well.
Microsoft XNA Framework is based on the native implementation of .NET Compact Framework 2.0 for Xbox 360 development and .NET Framework 2.0 on Windows.
The framework runs on a version of the Common Language Runtime that is optimized for gaming to provide a managed execution environment.
Since XNA games are written for the runtime, they can run on any platform that supports the XNA Framework with minimal or no modification.
Games that run on the framework can technically be written in any .NET-compliant language, but only C# in XNA Game Studio Express IDE and all versions of Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 (as of XNA 4.0) are officially supported.
The XNA Framework encapsulates low-level technological details involved in coding a game, making sure that the framework itself takes care of the difference between platforms when games are ported from one compatible platform to another, and thereby allowing game developers to focus more on the content and gaming experience.
The XNA Framework integrates with a number of tools, such as the Cross-platform Audio Creation Tool (XACT), to aid in content creation.
The XNA Framework provides support for both 2D and 3D game creation and allows use of the Xbox 360 controllers and vibrations.
XNA framework games that target the Xbox 360 platform could only be distributed by members of the Microsoft XNA Creator's Club/App Hub, which carried a $99/year subscription fee.
The dependency data can be analyzed to help reduce the size of a game by finding content that is not actually used.
XNA Game Studio Express was the first version released on August 30, 2006, and was intended for students, hobbyists, and independent (and homebrew) game developers.
Developers could create Windows games for free with the XNA Framework, but to run their games on the Xbox 360 they will have to pay an annual fee of US$99 (or a four-month fee of US$49) for admission to the Microsoft XNA Creator's Club.
XNA Game Studio 2.0 features the ability to be used with all versions of Visual Studio 2005 (including the free Visual C# 2005 Express Edition), a networking API using Xbox Live on both Windows and Xbox 360 and better device handling.
XNA Game Studio 3.0 (for Visual Studio 2008 or the free Visual C# 2008 Express Edition) allows production of games targeting the Zune platform and adds Xbox Live community support.
It added support for the Windows Phone platform (including 3D hardware acceleration), framework hardware profiles, configurable effects, built-in state objects, graphics device scalars and orientation, cross-platform and multi-touch input, microphone input and buffered audio playback, and Visual Studio 2010 integration.
Formerly known as XNA Game Studio Professional, XDK Extensions is an add-on to XNA Game Studio and requires the Microsoft Xbox 360 Development Kit.
The Microsoft XNA Framework 2.0 EULA specifically prohibits the distribution of commercial networked games that connect to Xbox Live and/or Games for Windows Live in the absence of a specific agreement signed by both the developer and Microsoft.
This means that XNA Game Studio can still be used to develop commercial games and other programs for the Windows platform, although Microsoft's networking support code for Xbox/Windows Live cannot be used.
Games created using XNA Game Studio may be distributed via the Windows Phone marketplace, and formerly via Xbox Live Indie Games.
Dream Build Play was an annual and global $75,000 Microsoft contest promoting Microsoft XNA and eventually Xbox Live Indie Games, although it predated it.
Xbox 360 games written in XNA Game Studio could be submitted to the App Hub, for which premium membership was required (about US$99/year).
Microsoft originally planned to take an additional percentage of revenue if they provided additional marketing for a game, but this policy was rescinded in March 2009, leaving the flat rate intact regardless of promotion.
These accounts allowed students to develop games for the Xbox 360, but developers still needed a premium Xbox Live account to submit their game to the marketplace.
From the codebase of Mono.XNA and SilverSprite, a new project called MonoGame was formed to port XNA to several mobile devices.
As of version 3.0.1 (released March 3, 2013), support is stable for iOS, Android including OUYA, macOS, Linux and Metro for Windows 8, Windows RT and Windows Phone 8, as well as PlayStation Mobile in 2D.
A project called ANX is available which implements its own version of XNA using the SharpDX stack, support for Linux, macOS and the PlayStation Vita is in progress as well.
Using ANX, developers are able to write games using code that is very similar to XNA, while still being considered a Metro application in Windows 8.
In someone with a compromised immune system, particularly those with chronic liver disease, it can infect the bloodstream, causing a severe and life-threatening illness characterized by fever and chills, decreased blood pressure (septic shock), and blistering skin lesions.
These same strains however, are shown to have a higher predisposition to shift to the virulent encapsulated form when taken up by oysters.
However, the LPS the bacteria produces isn't as efficient at triggering the immune system's release of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha and other cytokines that produce shock syndromes.
While the VvhA and MARTX toxin are factors in the bacteria's virulence, in vivo studies in mice suggest that the MARTX toxin is more responsible for bacterial dissemination from the intestine to produce sepsis.
The observed association of the infection with liver disease (associated with increased serum iron) might be due to the capability of more virulent strains to capture iron bound to transferrin.
By encapsulating the bacteria, phagocytosis and opsonization are not able to occur, thus allowing the bacteria to continue throughout the organism it is in.
The optimal treatment is not known, but in one retrospective study of 93 people in Taiwan, use of a third-generation cephalosporin and a tetracycline (e.g., ceftriaxone and doxycycline, respectively) was associated with an improved outcome.
Likewise, the American Medical Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend treating the person with a quinolone or intravenous doxycycline with ceftazidime.
People especially vulnerable are those with liver disease (especially cirrhosis and hepatitis) or immunocompromised states (some kinds of cancer, bone marrow suppression, HIV, diabetes, etc.).
Most deaths at that time were occurring due to fulminant sepsis, either in the area of oyster harvest and ingestion, or in tourists returning home.
Lack of disease recognition, and also of the risk factors, presentation, and cause, were and are major obstacles to good outcome and recovery.
After the successful treatment of the first person, the Florida Department of Health was able to trace the origin of the outbreak to Apalachicola Bay oysters and their harvesting in water prone to excessive growth of the organism.
This contamination was due to warmth of the water and change in freshwater dilution because of a change in flow of the Chattahoochee River into the Apalachicola River, and in turn into Apalachicola Bay.
While looking for an answer to this problem, researchers found that one way to stop the infection from spreading is to again mutate the bacteria.
When injected with flgC and flgE (two genes in the flagella that cause the mutation), the flagellum no longer function properly.
The quark contents of these states are almost all qQ, where q represents a light (up, down or strange) quark, Q represents a heavy (charm or bottom) quark, and antiquarks are denoted with an overline.
The existence and stability of tetraquark states with the qq (or QQ) have been discussed by theoretical physicists for a long time, however these are yet to be reported by experiments.
In 2003 a particle temporarily called X(3872), by the Belle experiment in Japan, was proposed to be a tetraquark candidate, as originally theorized.
In 2010, two physicists from DESY and a physicist from Quaid-i-Azam University re-analyzed former experimental data and announced that, in connection with the (5S) meson (a form of bottomonium), a well-defined tetraquark resonance exists.
In June 2013, the BES III experiment in China and the Belle experiment in Japan independently reported on Z(3900), the first confirmed four-quark state.
In 2014, the Large Hadron Collider experiment LHCb confirmed the existence of the Z(4430) state with a significance of over 13.9 σ.
The Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting has been presented since 1998, for a distinguished example of explanatory reporting that illuminates a significant and complex subject, demonstrating mastery of the subject, lucid writing and clear presentation.
The Pulitzer Prize Board announced the new category in November 1984, citing a series of explanatory articles that seven months earlier had won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing.
It had been entered in the National Reporting category, but judges moved it to Feature Writing to award it a prize.
The Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, designated the Hawaii State Museum of Natural and Cultural History, is a museum of history and science in the historic Kalihi district of Honolulu on the Hawaiian island of O'ahu.
Founded in 1889, it is the largest museum in Hawai'i and has the world's largest collection of Polynesian cultural artifacts and natural history specimens.
Besides the comprehensive exhibits of Hawaiiana, the museum's total holding of natural history specimens exceeds 24 million, of which the entomological collection alone represents more than 13.5 million specimens (making it the third-largest insect collection in the United States).
Charles Reed Bishop (1822–1915), a businessman and philanthropist, co-founder of the First Hawaiian Bank and Kamehameha Schools, built the museum in memory of his late wife, Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop (1831–1884).
Born into the royal family, she was the last legal heir of the Kamehameha Dynasty, which had ruled the Kingdom of Hawaii between 1810 and 1872.
Bishop had originally intended the museum to house family heirlooms passed down to him through the royal lineage of his wife.
Bishop hired William Tufts Brigham as the first curator of the museum; Brigham later served as director from 1898 until his retirement in 1918.
The museum was built on the original boys' campus of Kamehameha Schools, an institution created at the bequest of the Princess, to benefit native Hawaiian children; she gave details in her last will and testament.
Along the walls are prized koa wood display cases; today this wood in total is worth more than the original Bishop Museum buildings.
In 1940, Kamehameha Schools moved to its new campus in Kapālama, allowing the museum to expand at the original campus site.
Dedicated on January 13, 1990, Castle Memorial Building houses all the major traveling exhibits that come to the Bishop Museum from institutions around the world.
The building is designed as a learning center for children, and includes many interactive exhibits focused on marine science, volcanology, and related sciences.
The museum library has one of the most extensive collections of books, periodicals, newspapers and special collections concerned with Hawai'i and the Pacific.
The archives hold the results of extensive studies done by museum staff in the Pacific Basin, as well as manuscripts, photographs, artwork, oral histories, commercial sound recordings and maps.
The book collection consists of approximately 50,000 volumes with an emphasis on the cultural and natural history of Hawai'i and the Pacific, with subject strengths in anthropology, music, botany, entomology, and zoology.
The library provides extra access to the collection of published diaries, narratives, memoirs, and other writings relating to 18th- and 19th-century Hawai'i.
On the campus of Bishop Museum is the Jhamandas Watumull Planetarium, an educational and research facility devoted to the astronomical sciences and the oldest planetarium in Polynesia.
Also on the campus is Pauahi Hall, home to the J. Linsley Gressit Center for Research in Entomology, which houses some 14 million prepared specimens of insects and related arthropods, including over 16,500 primary types.
Nearby is Pākī Hall, home to the Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame, a museum library and archives, which are open to the public.
Built on a former private pier of Honolulu Harbor for the royal family, the center was the premier maritime museum in the Pacific Rim with artifacts in relation to the Pacific whaling industry and the Hawaii steamship industry.
Since 1920, the Secretariat of the Pacific Science Association (PSA), founded that year as an independent regional, non-governmental, scholarly organization, has been based at Bishop Museum.
Under the auspices of the Bishop Museum, a group of Hawaiian scientists joined the ship: Gerrit P. Wilder, botanist; Mrs. Wilder, historian; Kenneth Emory, ethnologist; Dr. Armstrong Sperry, writer and illustrator; and Dr. Stanley Ball.
Bottles, crates, and boxes were stowed below, along with gallons of preservatives for insects and plant specimens for the Bishop Museum.
In early 2007, the ship was closed to public tours for safety reasons and in order to facilitate repairs to the deteriorating tank, which frequently caused the ship to list (tilt) dramatically.
The museum threatened to sink the ship by the end of 2008 unless private funds were raised for a perpetual care endowment.
On September 28, 2008, ownership was transferred to the non-profit group, Friends of Falls of Clyde, which intends to restore the ship.
In October of that same year, the Bishop Museum was criticized for having raised $600,000 to preserve the ship, and spent only about half that on the ship, and that for sandblasting that was determined to damage the integrity of the vessel.
A bagad plays mainly Breton music, but a bagad's music is evolutionary: new forms and musical ideas are experimented with at each annual national competition.
In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, spline interpolation is a form of interpolation where the interpolant is a special type of piecewise polynomial called a spline.
Spline interpolation is often preferred over polynomial interpolation because the interpolation error can be made small even when using low degree polynomials for the spline.
Spline interpolation avoids the problem of Runge's phenomenon, in which oscillation can occur between points when interpolating using high degree polynomials.
The approach to mathematically model the shape of such elastic rulers fixed by knots formula_1 is to interpolate between all the pairs of knots formula_2 and formula_3 with polynomials formula_4.
As the spline will take a shape that minimizes the bending (under the constraint of passing through all knots) both formula_7 and formula_8 will be continuous everywhere and at the knots.
The classical approach is to use polynomials of degree 3, called cubic splines, which can achieve the continuity of the first derivative, but not that of second derivative.
Later that night, Gringoire runs into him once again in the Court of Miracles, where Clopin is revealed not as a beggar, but as the King of Truands (the criminals and outcasts of Paris).
In order to rescue her, he rounds all of the Truands to attack Notre Dame Cathedral where Esmeralda is protected by Quasimodo.
Clopin is also present in Disney's 1996 animated film adaptation of the story, in which he is a more jovial and less sinister gypsy than in the novel.
However, he is much darker, in clothing and humor, when Quasimodo and Captain Phoebus arrive in the Court of Miracles, suggesting his personality during the day to have been something of a façade.
However, he shows to have a gentle nature at the end of the film when he picks a little girl up and entertains her with a puppet resembling Judge Claude Frollo.
Clopin wears two main costumes during the film: a jester suit (seen to the right), which he wears at the Festival of Fools; he also wears a similar costume in the catacombs, but it is almost completely purple with no gold trim, no mask, and no bells.
Clopin's age is never estimated, so it is unknown if he was a child or at least old enough to hear about the murder of Quasimodo's mother.
His third appearance is much later in the film, at the Court of Miracles, where a much darker side to his personality is shown.
He prepares to hang them, but Esmeralda arrives in time to stop him and tell the gypsies of their good intentions, explaining how Phoebus rescued the miller and his family from being burned by Frollo and how Quasimodo helped her escape the cathedral.
Phoebus informs the gypsy people to leave, saying that Frollo knows of their hideout, a statement confirmed by Quasimodo, who was told of this by Frollo before.
Realizing this, all the gypsies (including Clopin) agree and prepare to leave Paris, but unfortunately, Frollo arrives just in time to attack the Court of Miracles and Clopin is seen with his people struggling to break free from their bonds to no avail.
When Quasimodo rescues Esmeralda, Phoebus breaks free and rouses the civilians into action, inciting them to release the gypsies and help them protect the cathedral from Frollo's soldiers.
His fifth and final appearance is at the end, where Quasimodo is escorted out from the cathedral to be praised by the people for his actions.
By 1927 it was known as the State Teachers College in Lock Haven and in 1960 the name was changed to Lock Haven State College.
In 1983, the school joined the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and became known as Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania.
Other features include the Hamblin International Hall of Flags Auditorium, a full production television studio and radio station, a Math Lab and tutoring center devoted to remediation and placement testing, and classrooms.
It was originally constructed as a laboratory school but now houses the Computer Science, Accounting and Management Department as well as many computer labs.
The main building, renovated in 1996, was constructed in 1952 and contains laboratories for the natural and earth sciences and classrooms.
A four-million dollar renovation was completed in 2014 to transfer many services to the building such as the ROTC program, the Registrar's Office and Financial Aid, as well as Counseling Services.
Ulmer Hall also houses the executive suite which includes the Office of the President, the Office of the Provost, and the Office of the Vice President for Enrollment Management.
Here student directed one-act plays and other short performances expand the role of the theater department and provide students with additional learning experiences.
In 2004 Lock Haven acquired the old Lock Haven High School, which was no longer used due to the creation of Central Mountain High School.
In April 2010, Lock Haven unveiled its plans to build a 40 million dollar new science center where the old senior high school was located.
Official groundbreaking did not occur until May 4, 2012, this marked the beginning of demolition of the senior high school and construction of the science center.
It consists of expanded labs for all science majors other than computer science, and includes a new class 100000 clean room facility for the rapidly expanded Nanotechnology program, allowing the university to rely less on Penn State's clean rooms.
Nanotechnology research facilities include characterization and synthesis instrumentation including SEM, EDX, Raman, AFM, STM, 4-Point Probe, Profilometer, CVDs, thermal evaporators and sputter deposition systems.
The ribbon cutting ceremony took place on September 12, 2013, and a cornerstone capsule was opened which contained a list of the senior high school staff, the graduates, and a newspaper from 1928.
The previous Junior High School section of the facility now houses the Office of the Chief Operating Officer and Senior VP for Finance and Administration, as well as the University Controller's office, the Human Resources office, the LHU Small Business Development Center, the Office of Workforce Development and Testing Center, the Criminal Justice academic department, and several classrooms.
The previous gymnasium building houses several classrooms, the Nanobites dining facility, and a large gymnasium used for athletic practices and special events.
Plans exist for the gymnasium and supporting space within the building to be constructed into a Wrestling Center showcasing the strong Division I wrestling program, and a $1 million redevelopment capital grant has been approved by the Pennsylvania Governor's office to support that effort.
Russell Hall was originally constructed as a residence hall and was the last single-sex residence hall on campus, housing women only until it was renovated to house administrative offices.
It has been recently demolished and replaced by a green space which is part of the University Commons encompassing the space that previously also included Sullivan Hall.
All classrooms, dormitories, the dining room, the library, and the auxiliary rooms were housed in the original Sullivan Hall, located approximately where North Hall stands.
For the next 16 years, the library needs were met by reading rooms provided by two campus literary societies, The Price Literary Society and the Shakespeare Society.
The library offers internet database services that gives the university access to full text magazine and newspaper articles, DVDs, books, and an array of information.
The studio is on the sixth floor of Robinson Hall and is equipped with a green screen, at least three main broadcast cameras, an integrated TriCaster 8000 production system for audio and video production, several broadcast monitors, a roll-in system, and many other broadcast systems.
An online radio station, which streams live on the internet, is located in the same facility as its new and improved television studio, allowing easy access between the two stations.
WLHU has a free format program schedule using a studio which broadcasts daily, as well as broadcasting many sporting events and other programs throughout the school year.
The Student Activities Office is composed of professional staff (employed by the Student Auxiliary Services) who are responsible for seeing that the day-to-day functions for the organization.
The music program at Lock Haven offers several extracurricular activities for students to participate in including but not limited to marching band, concert band, percussion ensemble, choral ensembles and jazz ensembles.
The SRC contains an inventory of equipment that includes a rock wall, an indoor track that's 1/8 of a mile long, basketball, racquetball, and intramural sports.
It weighs more than and can be played manually or by an automatic system that can produce 500 songs from memory.
Most production aircraft were constructed under contract by various private companies, both established aircraft manufacturers and firms that had not previously built aircraft.
Early versions of the B.E.2 entered squadron service with the Royal Flying Corps in 1912; the type continued to serve throughout the First World War.
It was initially used as a front-line reconnaissance aircraft and light bomber; modified as a single-seater it proved effective as a night fighter, destroying several German airships.
Although by now obsolete, it had to remain in front-line service while suitable replacements were designed, tested and brought into service.
Following its belated withdrawal from operations, the type served in various second line capacities, seeing use as a trainer and communications aircraft, as well as performing anti-submarine coastal patrol duties.
In spite of a tendency to swing on take off and a reputation for spinning, the type had a relatively low accident rate.
At first, the activities of the Factory were limited to the conduct of research into aerodynamics and aircraft design and the construction or design of actual aircraft was not officially sanctioned.
O'Gorman got around this restriction by using the factory's responsibility for the repair and maintenance of aircraft belonging to the Royal Flying Corps; existing aircraft that needed major repairs were nominally reconstructed but often actually transformed into new designs, which generally retained few original elements apart from the engine.
aircraft were flown within two months of each other and had the same basic design, the work of Geoffrey de Havilland, who was at the time both the chief designer and the test pilot at the Balloon Factory.
The layout of these aircraft came to be seen as conventional, but when it first appeared this was not the case.
Rather, in common with the contemporary Avro 500, the B.E.2 was one of the designs which established the tractor biplane as the dominant aircraft layout for a considerable time.
This was ostensibly a rebuild of a Voisin biplane, powered by a 60 hp (45 kW) water-cooled Wolseley engine; however, the B.E.1 used only the engine and radiator from this machine, the radiator being mounted between the front pair of cabane struts.
The B.E.1 was a two-bay tractor biplane – it had parallel-chord unstaggered wings with rounded ends, using wing warping for roll control.
The fuselage was a rectangular section fabric-covered wire-braced structure, with the pilot seated aft, behind the wings and the observer in front, under the centre section.
Behind the pilot's position, a curved top decking extended aft to the tail, although the forward decking and cowling of later variants was not fitted at this stage.
The aircraft's tail surfaces consisted of a half-oval horizontal stabiliser with a split elevator mounted above the upper longerons and an ovoid rudder hinged to the sternpost; there was no fixed vertical fin.
The main undercarriage consisted of a pair of skids each carried on an inverted V-strut at their rear and a single raked strut at the front: an axle carrying the wheels was bound to the skids by bungee cords and restrained by radius rods.
The aircraft was not flown again until 27 December, modified by the substitution of a Claudel carburettor in place of the original Wolseley, which allowed no throttle control.
Other minor modifications were made over the following weeks: the undercarriage wheels were moved back 12 in (30.4 cm), the wings (which originally had no dihedral), were re-rigged to have 1° dihedral, and the propeller was cut down in an attempt to increase the engine speed.
The B.E.2 was almost identical to the B.E.1, differing principally in being powered by a 60 hp (45 kW) air-cooled Renault V-8 engine and in having equal-span wings.
The Renault proved a much more satisfactory powerplant than the Wolseley fitted to the B.E.1, and performance was further improved when a 70 hp (52 kW) model was fitted in May that year.
It was not allowed to formally compete in the trials since O'Gorman was one of the judges, but its performance was clearly superior to most of the aircraft competing: on 12 August 1912, the B.E.2 established a new British altitude record of 10,560 ft (3,219 m), while being flown by de Havilland and with Major F. H. Sykes on board as a passenger.
These essentially only differed from the B.E.2 in the powerplant, initially an ENV liquid cooled engine, and since both aircraft were eventually fitted with the standard 70 hp Renault, they became effectively equivalent to the production standard B.E.2.
The B.E.2a designation first appeared on a drawing dated 20 February 1912, which showed an aircraft with unequal span wings with slight dihedral.
These differed from preceding B.E.1 and B.E.2 in possessing a revised fuel system, in which the streamlined gravity tank below the centre section of the wing was moved to a position behind the engine.
Early production aircraft had unequal span wings, similar to those fitted on the B.E.1, and at first there was no decking between the pilot and observer's seats, although this was added later.
Sandbag loading tests revealed that the safety margin of the rear spar was somewhat less than that of the front; to remedy this, a revised wing was designed with a deeper rear spar, and consequently a different aerofoil section.
The first production order was placed with British manufacturing conglomerate Vickers; shortly afterwards, a second order was issued for the type's production by the Bristol Aeroplane Company.
The first contractor-built B.E.2as appeared during the first weeks of 1913; during February of that year, at least two such aeroplanes were delivered to No.2 Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps, these were possibly the first examples of the type to enter service.
It featured revised cockpit coamings, which afforded better protection from the elements, along with revised controls to both the elevator and rudder.
At the outbreak of war, these early B.E.2s formed part of the equipment of the first three squadrons of the RFC to be sent to France.
A B.E.2a of No.2 Squadron was the first aircraft of the Royal Flying Corps to arrive in France after the start of the First World War, on 26 August 1914.
The first example, a converted B.E.2b, flew on 30 May 1914 and the type went into squadron service just before the outbreak of war.
The B.E.2c used the same fuselage as the B.E.2b, but was otherwise really a new type, being fitted with new wings of different planform with increased dihedral and forward stagger, and ailerons replaced the wing warping of the earlier models.
A streamlined cowling to the sump was also fitted to later models, while a cut-out in the rear of the centre section marginally improved the observer's field of fire, as well as giving the pilot a better view forward over the wing.
On later machines, the fin was enlarged to reduce the aircraft's tendency to swing on take-off and to improve spin recovery.
Most B.E.2ds were used as trainers, and the few used on operations by the RFC seem to have been flown from the normal (rear) pilots' seat.
On the other hand, photographs of B.E.2ds supplied to Belgium make it clear that not only were these re-engined with Hispano engines, but at least some of them had the pilot and observer's seating positions reversed, giving the latter a much better field of fire for his gun(s).
Some of the Belgian B.E.2cs were similarly modified, while at least one was fitted with a Scarff ring over the rear cockpit.
The tailplane was again a new unit – being smaller than that of the B.E.2c and d – and the larger, quadrant shaped vertical fin of the late B.E.2c became standard.
It was intended to fit a new, uprated version of the RAF 1 – the RAF 1b – but in the event this engine did not achieve production status, and the B.E.2e used the same engine as its predecessor, considerably reducing the expected improvement in performance.
An exact breakdown between the different models has never been produced, if only because so many B.E.2s were completed as later models than originally ordered.
The B.E.12 (a single-seater) went into production and saw squadron service, however neither variant was ultimately a great success; both designs having been superseded by newer fighter aircraft by the time they were completed.
During the pre-war period, those B.E.2s that had reached service were primarily flown by No 2, No 4 and No 6 Squadrons, who rapidly accumulated an unusually high number of flight hours on the type.
Bruce has commented that during this time, compared with their contemporaries, the early B.E.2s demonstrated a high standard of serviceability and reliability: as borne out by the squadrons' maintenance records.
On 22 May 1913, Captain Longcroft flew his aircraft from Farnborough Airport to Montrose Aerodrome, covering the 550 mile distance in ten hours, 55 minutes, with two intermediary stops.
On 19 August 1913, Longcroft repeated this trip using a B.E.2 outfitted with an additional fuel tank, lowering the journey time to seven hours, 40 minutes with only one stop midway.
A good deal of experimental flying was undertaken during this period, influencing later fuel system and undercarriage design as well as structural strengthening and aerodynamic changes.
2 had already served in the RFC for two years prior to the outbreak of the Great War, and were among the aircraft that arrived with the British Expeditionary Force in France during 1914.
While some flew entirely unarmed, or perhaps carried service revolvers or automatic pistols, others armed themselves with hand-wielded rifles or carbines as used by ground troops, or even fitted a Lewis gun.
In this awkward position, his view was poor, and the degree to which he could handle a camera (or, later, a gun) was hampered by the struts and wires supporting the centre section of the top wing.
In practice, the pilot of a B.E.2 almost always operated the camera, and the observer, when he was armed at all, had a rather poor field of fire to the rear, having, at best, to shoot back over his pilot's head.
Nonetheless, the B.E.2s were already in use as light bombers as well as for visual reconnaissance; an attack on Courtrai Railway station on 26 April 1915 earning a posthumous Victoria Cross for 2nd Lt. William Rhodes-Moorhouse, the first such award to be made for an aerial operation.
The type that replaced the B.E.2a and B.E.2b (as well as the assortment of other types in use at the time) in the reconnaissance squadrons of the RFC in 1915 was the B.E.2c, which had also been designed before the war.
The most important difference in the new model was an improvement in stability – a genuinely useful characteristic, especially in aerial photographic work, using the primitive plate cameras of the time, with their relatively long exposures.
A suitable engine was not available in sufficient quantities to replace the air-cooled Renault – the RAF 1a being essentially an uprated version of the French engine – so that the improvement in the B.E.2c's performance was less than startling.
Unable to cope with such a primitive fighter as the Fokker E.I, it was virtually helpless against the newer German fighters of 1916–17.
This agitation prompted the setting up of two enquiries; one into the management of the Royal Aircraft Factory, and another into the high command of the Royal Flying Corps, the latter of which being headed by a judge.
By the spring of 1917, however, conditions on the Western Front had changed again; the German fighter squadrons having been re-equipped with better fighters, especially the Albatros D.III.
It had been planned that by this time B.E.2s in front-line service would have been replaced by newer aircraft, such as the Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.8 and Armstrong Whitworth F.K.8, but delivery of these types was initially slower than hoped.
On 19 May 1917, six pilots, newly arrived in France and still to be allocated to a squadron, were each given a new B.E.2e to ferry between RFC depots at St Omer and Candas.
Fortunately, by this time, the B.E.2e was already being rapidly replaced on the Western Front by later types, but this was from several points of view more than a year too late.
As early as 1915, the B.E.2c entered service as a pioneer night fighter, being used in attempts to intercept and destroy the German airship raiders.
The interceptor version of the B.E.2c was flown as a single-seater, outfitted with an auxiliary fuel tank on the centre of gravity in the position of the observer's seat.
Developed at the Royal Aircraft Factory, the grapnel consisted of a two-inch long hollow steel shaft packed with an explosive charge and fitted with a sharp four-sided nose and metal plates that acted as fins; this would have been attached to a winch-mounted cable and carried by a single B.E.2.
It was intended for the fighter to approach a Zeppelin from above, after which the grapnel would be dropped and appropriate manoeuvring employed to strike the surface of the Zeppelin with it: it then would bury itself and explode, causing ignition of the airship's hydrogen gas.
A simpler and much more practical solution proved to be to attack from below, using a Lewis gun firing a mixture of explosive and incendiary ammunition at an upwards angle of 45°.
On the night of 2–3 September 1916, a single B.E.2c was credited with the downing of SL 11, the first German airship to be shot down over Britain after over a year of night raids.
This feat led to the pilot, Captain William Leefe Robinson, being awarded a Victoria Cross and various cash prizes, totalling up to £3,500, that had been put up by a number of individuals.
This was not an isolated victory; five more German airships were destroyed by Home Defence B.E.2c interceptors between October and December 1916.
As a consequence of these losses, the German Army's airship fleet ceased raids over England: German naval airship raiders of 1917 flew at higher altitudes to avoid interception, reducing their effectiveness.
The performance of the B.E.2 was inadequate to intercept airships flying at 15,000 feet much less the Gotha bombers that emerged during 1917, and its career as an effective home defence fighter was over.
While the majority of operational B.E.2s served on the Western Front, the type also saw limited use in other overseas theatres.
At least one pair of B.E.2s were among the aircraft dispatched with No 3 Squadron for use in the Gallipoli Campaign.
They were used to spot in support of naval bombardments, as well as being occasionally used to directly bomb ships and other targets.
As early as 1914, some B.E.2as went to Australia, where they served as trainer aircraft for the nascent Australian Flying Corps at Point Cook, Victoria.
At least one B.E.2 was dispatched to Egypt to reinforce friendly forces fighting in the Eastern Mediterranean; on 16 April 1915, this aircraft participated in the bombing of El Murra.
In spite of the type's rather unresponsive controls, it was capable of executing comprehensive (if somewhat stately) aerobatics, and was by no means a bad trainer.
On 19 February 1917, a B.E.2c was used to conduct the British Army's first aeromedical evacuation when it flew out the sole casualty of the raid on Bir el Hassana in the Sinai Peninsula.
The man had a shattered ankle, and the 45-minute flight in the observer's seat spared him an agonizing multi-day journey by camel.
Another B.E.2e was one of the first two aircraft (the other was an Avro 504K) owned by the new Australian airline Qantas when it was founded in Queensland in 1920–1921.
Surviving restored aircraft and reproductions are on display at several museums, including the Imperial War Museum, Duxford; the RAF Museum, Hendon; the Canada Aviation Museum, Ottawa; the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace, Paris; the Militaire Luchtvaartmuseum, Soesterberg, Netherlands; United States Army Aviation Museum and the Norwegian Armed Forces Aircraft Collection at Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, Norway.
B.E.2f serial A1325 has been restored to airworthiness by The Vintage Aviator Ltd in New Zealand, with an original RAF1A V8 engine, and made its debut at the Classic Fighters Omaka airshow in April 2009.
TVAL has also built several airworthy reproductions including c and f models, two of which are currently in the UK on loan to the WW1 Aviation Heritage Trust.
The B.E.2c itself was badly damaged in a crash in the United States in 1977 but Boddington's son Matthew returned it to flying condition in 2011.
The UK's latest non-flying reproduction was built at Boscombe Down, Wilts, completed around 2008 and is now displayed with the Boscombe Down Aviation Collection at Old Sarum.
Volunteers at Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre, Angus, Scotland have built a full-size replica B.E.2a (No.471) from original plans and it is now on display.
It is native to the upper Paraguay basin and upper Madeira basin (including Guaporé, Mamore and Beni) in Brazil and Bolivia.
This fish is of roughly tetragonal shape, light grey in coloring, with a black patch, surrounded by iridescent silver edging, posterior of the gills on each side.
A long-finned variety, apparently developed by captive breeders, is sometimes sold in the aquarium trade (the male has elongated dorsal and anal fins even in the wild form).
The male black phantom tetras have longer fins than the females and when in breeding condition, the females become plumper, but the biggest difference is in their color.
The males have no red, while the smaller fins of the female both on the top and underneath them are red.
The adipose fin, on the top of the body behind the larger dorsal fin, is much more noticeable in the females than the males, because in females it is red while in the males it is grey.
When the fish are in breeding condition, the colors of both sexes become more distinct, with the male showing its black fins more obviously.
While it is not particularly colorful, it makes up for this by its display behavior: the males are territorial and defend their space against their neighbors by presenting themselves in profile with the dorsal and anal fins fully extended, and the dark color intensified, making the edging of the body patch stand out prominently.
Unlike other tetras who prefer to live in large shoals, they will also do fine when kept in a group of four or five individuals, making them suitable for smaller aquaria.
To stimulate breeding, pH is lowered to about 5.5-6, the general hardness of the water is also reduced below four degrees.
Commercial fry foods of suitable sizes can be used but at all stages the young fish benefit from live food of the right size.
Jeordie Osbourne White (born June 20, 1971), once known professionally as Twiggy Ramirez, shortened to just Twiggy since 2008, and sometimes referred to by his real name, is an American musician, mostly known as the former bassist and guitarist of the band Marilyn Manson.
Previously, he was the bassist for A Perfect Circle and a touring member of Nine Inch Nails, and is currently the vocalist for Goon Moon.
He did not know his father for most of his life but united with him in 2008 (which was mentioned in the Love Line radio interview in 2008).
Influenced by the likes of Mötley Crüe, Van Halen and Iron Maiden, he first picked up a guitar at age thirteen.
Although a New Jersey native, he spent the better portion of his youth in the Fort Lauderdale area, where he quickly embraced South Florida's growing music scene and, by age 15, had joined his first band, The Ethiopians.
After an unexpected meeting at a used records store in the Coral Springs Mall where White was working, the two realized they had much in common, but had yet to work on a musical endeavor.
Jeordie did not join Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids until Gidget Gein was ejected from the band by the manager in December 1993.
On January 9, 2008 Marilyn Manson posted a bulletin on MySpace confirming that Tim Skold was leaving Marilyn Manson and that White had rejoined the band in his place.
On October 24, 2017 Marilyn Manson posted on Facebook that the band parted ways with White following allegations of sexual misconduct made against him, and announced that there will be a replacement for the upcoming tour.
After departing Marilyn Manson, White played two live shows with California punk metal band Mondo Generator, and auditioned for the role of second guitar in Queens of the Stone Age, which he lost to Troy Van Leeuwen of A Perfect Circle.
Several months later, White replaced Paz Lenchantin in A Perfect Circle, the project of Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan and former Tool guitar tech Billy Howerdel as a full member of the band on bass guitar.
White later joined Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme on the ninth and tenth volumes of Homme's music project The Desert Sessions.
White was invited to return to play with A Perfect Circle for their Fall and Winter 2010 Tour in North America, but ultimately did not participate in the reunion and was permanently replaced by Matt McJunkins.
It has been emphasized by White personally that if there was one single piece of information the public should know about him it would be that he smells like baby powder.
On October 21, 2017, White's ex-girlfriend Jessicka Addams, lead singer of the band Jack Off Jill, published a Facebook post accusing White of rape, as well as physical and emotional abuse throughout their relationship in the late 1990s.
In addition to the aforementioned bass guitars, White has used numerous other brands and models of electric and acoustic guitar in writing and recording for each band he has been involved with, and he plays following guitars in live performances.
It is believed that the people in southern Busoga originally came from Buganda and in the early 14th Century overwhelmed the original inhabitants, the Nilotic Luo who came from the north, and the Teso who came from the north-east.
It is also taught in secondary schools and is offered as a course subject in tertiary institutions such as Busoga University, Kyambogo University and Makerere University.
Soga has several dialects dating to the intermingling of people during the early migration period of the 17th and 18th centuries.
There were so many dialects that it was difficult to reach agreement on the correct way to spell or pronounce certain words.
For instance, in the north of Busoga, there is an 'H' in many words which does not appear in dialects of southern Busoga.
It had a close belt of Runyoro associated dialects running east from Bunyoro, across the northern region of Buganda, across northern Busoga and through Bugwere, which is east of Busoga.
Some of the more accomplished Lusoga publications include a Lusoga Bible, grammar books, riddles, proverbs, several story books and dictionaries e.g.
In common with other tonal Bantu languages, Lusoga has a noun class system in which prefixes on nouns mark membership of one of the noun genders.
However, it assumes a more personal nature and just as in the West, its form depends on the time of the day and the elapsed time since the last contact with the greeter.
The personal nature of the greetings ensues when the individual being greeted chooses to answer the question instead of merely responding with good or fine.
Telling the time in Soga is different from the way it is told in English because hours of darkness correspond to PM to include early morning hours.
Its contents were partly official (court news, decrees of the Roman emperor, Roman Senate and Roman magistrates), partly private (notices of births, marriages and deaths).
The origin of the Acta is attributed to Julius Caesar, who first ordered the keeping and publishing of the acts of the people by public officers (59 B.C.
After remaining there for a reasonable time they were taken down and preserved with other public documents, so that they might be available for purposes of research.
in that only the greater and more important matters were given in the latter, while in the former things of less note were recorded.
The siege marked the height of the struggle between the Catholics and the Protestants in France, and ended with a complete victory for King Louis XIII and the Catholics.
The assassination of Henry IV in 1610, and the advent of Louis XIII under the regency of Marie de' Medici, marked a return to pro-Catholic politics and a weakening of the position of the Protestants.
The Duke Henri de Rohan and his brother Soubise started to organize Protestant resistance from that time, which ultimately exploded into a Huguenot rebellion.
In 1621, Louis XIII besieged and captured Saint-Jean d'Angély, and a blockade of La Rochelle was attempted in 1621-1622, ending with a stalemate and the Treaty of Montpellier.
Again, Rohan and Soubise would take arms in 1625, ending with the capture of the Île de Ré in 1625 by Louis XIII.
After these events, Louis XIII resolved to subdue the Huguenots, and Louis' Chief Minister Cardinal Richelieu declared this his first priority.
The Anglo-French conflict followed the failure of their alliance of 1624, in which England had tried to find an ally in France against the power of the Habsburgs.
In June 1626, Walter Montagu was sent to France to contact dissident noblemen, and from March 1627 attempted to organize a French rebellion.
The plan was to send an English fleet to encourage rebellion, triggering a new Huguenot revolt by Duke Henri de Rohan and his brother Soubise.
On the first expedition, the English king Charles I sent a fleet of 80 ships, under his favourite George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, to encourage a major rebellion in La Rochelle.
In June 1627, Buckingham organised a landing on the nearby island of Île de Ré with 6,000 men in order to help the Huguenots, thus starting the Anglo-French War of 1627, with the objectives being to control the approaches to La Rochelle and to encourage the rebellion in the city.
The city of La Rochelle initially refused to declare itself an ally of Buckingham against the crown of France and effectively denied access to its harbour to Buckingham's fleet.
On Île de Ré, the English under Buckingham tried to take the fortified city of Saint-Martin in the Siege of Saint-Martin-de-Ré (1627) but were repulsed after three months.
Meanwhile, in August 1627 French royal forces started to surround La Rochelle, with an army of 7,000 soldiers, 600 horses and 24 cannons, led by Charles of Angoulême.
On September 10, the first cannon shots were fired by La Rochelle against royal troops at Fort Louis, starting the third Huguenot rebellion.
Four thousand workmen also built a long seawall to block the seaward access between the city and harbor, stopping all supplies.
The initial idea for blocking the channel came from the Italian engineer Pompeo Targone, but his structure was broken by winter weather, before the idea was taken up by the royal architect Clément Métezeau (or Metzeau) in November 1627.
The Roman Catholic government of France rented ships from the Protestant city of Amsterdam to conquer the Protestant city of La Rochelle.
This resulted in a debate in the city council of Amsterdam as to whether the French soldiers should be allowed to have a Roman Catholic sermon on board of the Protestant Dutch ships.
In the occasion of the Siege of La Rochelle, Spain manoeuvered towards the formation of a Franco-Spanish alliance against the common enemies that were the English, the Huguenots and the Dutch.
Richelieu accepted Spanish help, and a Spanish fleet of 30 to 40 warships was sent from Cadiz to the Gulf of Morbihan as an affirmation of strategic support, arriving three weeks after the departure of Buckingham from Île de Ré.
At one point, the Spanish fleet anchored in front of La Rochelle, but did not engage in actual operations against the city.
A naval force led by William Feilding, Earl of Denbigh, left on April 1628, but returned without a fight to Portsmouth, as Denbigh said that he had no commission to hazard the king's ships in a fight, and returned shamefully to Portsmouth.
A third fleet was dispatched under the Admiral of the Fleet, the Earl of Lindsey in August 1628, consisting of 29 warships and 31 merchantmen.
Residents of La Rochelle had resisted for 14 months, under the leadership of the mayor Jean Guitton and with gradually diminishing help from England.
By the terms of the Peace of Alais, the Huguenots lost their territorial, political and military rights, but retained the religious freedom granted by the Edict of Nantes.
However, they were left at the mercy of the monarchy, unable to resist later when Louis XIV abolished the Edict of Nantes altogether and embarked on active persecution.
Aside from its religious aspect, the Siege of La Rochelle marks an important success in the creation of a strong central government of France, in control throughout its territory and able to suppress regional defiance.
In the immediate aftermath was the growth of the absolute monarchy, but it had long-term effects upon all later French regimes up to the present.
Around the time of the siege, a series of propaganda coins were cast to describe the stakes of the siege, and then commemorate the Royal victory.
These coins depict the siege in symbolic ways, showing the city and the English effort in a poor light, while putting an advantageous light on Royal might.
He represented the Labour Party, and serving throughout the second term of the Fourth Labour Government, served as Speaker of the New Zealand House of Representatives from 1987 to 1990.
In 1960, he began three years of study at the University of Canterbury, after which he studied for a year at the Christchurch College of Education.
In the 1990 New Year Honours, Burke was appointed a Knight Bachelor, and the same year he was awarded the New Zealand 1990 Commemoration Medal.
On 24 October 2007, following the local body elections where he stood in the Christchurch South constituency, he was elected Chairman for a further term.
In 2010 the New Zealand Government fired Burke, and the remaining Regional Councillors of Environment Canterbury, two years after the previous local body elections.
They were replaced by Government-appointed Commissioners and elections for Environment Canterbury were to be held in 2013, but a return to full democracy was delayed until the 2019 local elections.
In the 2010 local elections, Burke stood for Christchurch City Council in the Spreydon-Heathcote ward but was beaten by the two incumbents (Sue Wells and Barry Corbett).
Burke was patron of Cholmondeley Children's Home in Governors Bay but relinquished this role according to the 2015 Annual Report prior to his drink driving conviction in January 2016 (below).
In March 2012 Sir Kerry joined the board of the Draco Foundation (NZ) Charitable Trust, an organisation whose purpose is the protection and promotion of democracy and natural justice in New Zealand.
The trust was denied charitable status by the Charities Commission and on appeal by the High Court of New Zealand (Judgement Ron Young J charities.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/draco-foundation-nz-charitable-trust.pdf).
Évian-les-Bains (), or simply Évian (, , or ), is a commune in the northern part of the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France.
A high-market holiday resort and spa town on the shores of Lake Geneva (), it has been visited, over two centuries, by royalty such as Kings Edward VII and George V of the United Kingdom and King Farouk of Egypt, and celebrities such as countess Anna de Noailles and Marcel Proust.
In the following years, many hotels (Hôtel des quatre saisons, Hôtel de France, Hôtel des Alpes) were built, helping the town's popularity as a holiday resort.
The hills and the lakeshore were covered with noble houses and luxurious villas and a theatre and a casino were built on the lakeside.
In 1902, the baths were constructed and in 1909, the architect Hébrard built one of the most luxurious hotels: the Royal Hotel.
Evian considers itself one of the top European spas, claiming popularity with high society figures such as Countess Anna de Noailles, Frédéric Mistral, the Lumiere Brothers and Marcel Proust.
After World War I, the city maintained its status as a high-class spa town, hosting socialites and royalty such as Aga Khan III, the Maharaja of Kapurthala, Albert Lebrun (President of the République), King George V of United Kingdom and King Fuad I of Egypt.
The town is home to Évian mineral water, which adds significantly to the economy, together with the Casino d'Evian, the largest themed casino in Europe, and the Evian Royal Resort, the reported favorite holiday destination of former French President François Mitterrand and King Farouk of Egypt.
Évian is served by a bus network, as well as a train station with regular trains to Geneva, Annemasse, and Bellegarde, as well as less frequent services to Paris and Lyon.
There is also a very busy ferry service running between the town and Lausanne, as well as a more tourist-centered service that runs to Yvoire.
Public nursery/preschools and primary schools serving the town include: Ecole du Centre, Ecole de la Détanche, Ecoles du Mur Blanc, and Ecole des Hauts d’Evian.
Collège des Rives du Léman is the public junior high school, and Lycée Anna de Noailles is the senior high school.
Jean-Claude Romand (born 11 February 1954) is a French spree killer and impostor who pretended to be a medical doctor for 18 years before killing his wife, children, and his parents when he was about to be exposed.
The deception began with a simple lie: Romand claimed that he had passed a second-year medical examination that he did not take.
Romand fooled his family and friends for 18 years; they thought he was a successful medical professional and researcher in the World Health Organization (WHO).
Periodically he left for a supposed work trip but only traveled to Geneva International Airport and spent a couple of days in a hotel room there, studying medical journals and a travel guide about the various countries he lied about visiting.
Romand lived off the money his wife and he had made by selling an apartment, from his wife's salary, and from sums of money which were given to him by various relatives, who relied on his assurances that he was investing the money in various imaginary hedge funds and foreign ventures.
On 9 January 1993 Romand withdrew 2000 francs and borrowed a .22 long rifle from his father for which he purchased a suppressor, and gas canisters, and asked for them to be gift wrapped.
After these killings, the only people who could expose him were his parents and his ex-mistress, who wanted back 900,000 francs that she had given him as a favour.
That night he picked up his ex-mistress, telling her they were invited to a dinner with the then health minister, Bernard Kouchner.
Pretending that they were lost, he made her exit the car, and as she did so he attempted to strangle her with a cord and sprayed tear gas into her face.
After she fought back, he apologized and drove her back to her home, after making her promise to never tell anyone about his attempt to murder her.
He sat and watched television before he poured petrol around the house, set it on fire, and took an overdose of sleeping pills to create the appearance of an intended suicide.
Whether this attempt was genuine is doubtful, since the pills he took were long expired, and he had access to more effective barbiturates; additionally, the manner in which the fire was set and the timing of his taking the pills made his rescue inevitable.
On 6 July 1996 Romand was sentenced to life imprisonment with no possibility of parole for 22 years; he became eligible for parole in 2015.
Born at Kermartin, a manor near Tréguier in Brittany, on 17 October 1253, Ivo was the son of Helori, lord of Kermartin, and Azo du Kenquis.
He went to Orléans in 1277 to study canon law under Peter de la Chapelle, a famous jurist who later became bishop of Toulouse and a cardinal.
Meanwhile, he studied Scripture, and there are strong reasons for believing the tradition held among Franciscans that he joined the Third Order of St. Francis sometime later at Guingamp.
He continued to practice law and once, when a mother and son couldn’t resolve their differences, he offered a Mass for them.
He displayed great zeal and rectitude in the discharge of his duty and did not hesitate to resist taxation by the king, which he considered an encroachment on the rights of the Church.
Having been ordained he was appointed to the parish of Tredrez in 1285 and eight years later to Louannec, where he died of natural causes after a life of hard work and repeated fasting.
For instance, the Society of St. Yves in Jerusalem (a Catholic Center for Human Rights and Legal Aid, Resources and Development), the Conférence Saint Yves in Luxembourg (the Luxembourg Catholic Lawyers Association), or the Association de la Saint Yves Lyonnais.
Ivo is often represented with a purse in his right hand (for all the money he gave to the poor during his life) and a rolled paper in the other hand (for his charge as a judge).
She continued her studies in 1899 with Carl Seffner and Max Klinger in Leipzig, and in 1900 with Auguste Rodin in Paris, also attending the Académie Colarossi.
By 1925, Westhoff had turned to painting, so that in addition to her sculptural work, she created an equally substantial body of work in painting.
With her comprehensive biography in 1986, Marina Sauer initiated a rehabilitation of the artist by freeing Clara Rilke-Westhoff from the shadowy existence of being seen only as the wife of Rilke and as a friend of Paula Modersohn-Becker.
Within a capitalist economic system, commodification is the transformation of goods, services, ideas and people into commodities or objects of trade.
Commodification is often criticised on the grounds that some things ought not to be treated as commodities—for example water, education, data, information, knowledge, human life, and animal life.
According to Gøsta Esping-Andersen people are commodified or 'turned into objects' when selling their labour on the market to an employer.
These two concepts are fundamentally different and the business community more commonly uses commoditization to describe the transformation of the market to undifferentiated products through increased competition, typically resulting in decreasing prices.
While in economic terms, commoditization is closely related to and often follows from the stage when a market changes from one of monopolistic competition to one of perfect competition, a product essentially becomes a commodity when customers perceive little or no value difference between brands or versions.
Commoditization can be the desired outcome of an entity in the market, or it can be an unintentional outcome that no party actively sought to achieve.
Branded producers often suffer under commoditization, since the value of the brand (and ability to command price premiums) can be weakened.
However, false commoditization can create substantial risk when premier products do have substantial value to offer, particularly in health, safety and security.
The difference between the terms of commodification (Marxist political theory) and commoditization (business theory) has been drawn by James Surowiecki (1998) and Douglas Rushkoff (2005).
What is clear now is that the West's fascination with the primitive has to do with its own crises in identity, with its own need to clearly demarcate subject and object even while flirting with other ways of experiencing the universe.
When the dominant culture demands that the Other be offered as sign that progressive political change is taking place, that the American Dream can indeed be inclusive of difference, it invites a resurgence of essentialist cultural nationalism.
An example of commodification is the colors red, black, and green, which are the colors of the African Liberation Army (ALA).
For people of African descent these colors represent red (the innocent bloodshed of Africans), black (African people) and green (stolen land of Africa).
An example of this type of cultural commodification can be described through viewing the perspective of Hawaiian cultural change since the 1950s.
Commodity played a key role throughout Karl Marx's work; he considered it a cell-form of capitalism and a key starting point for an analysis of this politico-economic system.
Such geodesics are called prime geodesics because, among other things, they obey an asymptotic distribution law similar to the prime number theorem.
This geodesic is closed because 2 points which are in the same orbit under the action of Γ project to the same point on the quotient, by definition.
The prime geodesics are then those geodesics that trace out their image exactly once — algebraically, they correspond to primitive hyperbolic conjugacy classes, that is, conjugacy classes {γ} such that γ cannot be written as a nontrivial power of another element of Γ.
The importance of prime geodesics comes from their relationship to other branches of mathematics, especially dynamical systems, ergodic theory, and number theory, as well as Riemann surfaces themselves.
In his 1970 Ph.D. thesis, Grigory Margulis proved a similar result for surfaces of variable negative curvature, while in his 1980 Ph.D. thesis, Peter Sarnak proved an analogue of Chebotarev's density theorem.
There are other similarities to number theory — error estimates are improved upon, in much the same way that error estimates of the prime number theorem are improved upon.
Also, there is a Selberg zeta function which is formally similar to the usual Riemann zeta function and shares many of its properties.
Algebraically, prime geodesics can be lifted to higher surfaces in much the same way that prime ideals in the ring of integers of a number field can be split (factored) in a Galois extension.
Closed geodesics have been used to study Riemann surfaces; indeed, one of Riemann's original definitions of the genus of a surface was in terms of simple closed curves.
It served during the mid-20th century in the United States Navy, the United States Marine Corps, and the air forces of other nations.
The Bearcat concept began during a meeting between Battle of Midway veteran F4F Wildcat pilots and Grumman Vice President Jake Swirbul at Pearl Harbor on 23 June 1942.
Climb performance is strongly related to the power-to-weight ratio, and is maximized by wrapping the smallest and lightest possible airframe around the most powerful available engine.
Another goal was that the G-58 (Grumman's design designation for the aircraft) should be able to operate from escort carriers, which were then limited to the obsolescent F4F Wildcat as the Grumman F6F Hellcat was too large and heavy.
After intensively analyzing carrier warfare in the Pacific Theater of Operations for a year and a half, Grumman began development of the G-58 Bearcat in late 1943.
There is considerable debate among sources as to whether or not the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 influenced the design of the G-58.
It is known that test pilots from Grumman examined and flew a captured Fw 190 in England in early 1943, and the G-58 has a number of design notes in common with the Fw 190 that the Hellcat did not, especially in the cowling and landing gear arrangements.
In 1943, Grumman was in the process of introducing the F6F Hellcat, powered by the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engine which provided .
To meet this goal, the Bearcat's fuselage was about shorter than the Hellcat, and was cut down vertically behind the cockpit area.
Structurally the fuselage used flush riveting as well as spot welding, with a heavy gauge 302W aluminum alloy skin suitable for carrier landings.
The hydraulically operated undercarriage used an articulated trunnion which extended the length of the oleo legs when lowered; as the undercarriage retracted the legs were shortened, enabling them to fit into a wheel well which was entirely in the wing.
An additional benefit of the inward retracting units was a wide track, which helped counter propeller torque on takeoff and gave the F8F good ground and carrier deck handling.
As development continued it became clear this was impossible to achieve as the structure of the new fighter had to be made strong enough for aircraft carrier landings.
Ultimately much of the weight-saving measures included restricting the internal fuel capacity to 160 gal (606 l) (later 183) and limiting the fixed armament to four .50 cal Browning M2/AN machine guns, two in each wing.
The limited range due to the reduced fuel load would mean it would be useful in the interception role, but meant that the Hellcat would still be needed for longer range patrols.
Compared to the Hellcat, the Bearcat was 20% lighter, had a 30% better rate of climb and was 50 mph (80 km/h) faster.
The wings were designed to fold at a point about out along the span, reducing the space taken up on the carrier.
Normally the hinge system would have to be built very strong in order to transmit loads from the outer portions of the wing to the main spar in the inner section, which adds considerable weight.
Instead of building the entire wing to be able to withstand high-g loads, only the inner portion of the wing was able to do this.
The outer portions were more lightly constructed, and designed to snap off at the hinge line if the g-force exceeded 7.5 g. In this case the aircraft would still be flyable and could be repaired after returning to the carrier.
The design was completed in November 1943 and an order for two prototypes was placed on 27 November 1943 under the BuAir designation XF8F-1.
Testing demonstrated a number of problems, notably a lack of horizontal stability, an underpowered trim system, landing gear that could be extended only at slow speeds, an unreliable airspeed indicator, and a cramped cockpit.
The stability problem was addressed on the second prototype by adding a triangular fillet to the front of the vertical stabilizer.
The end of the war led to the Grumman order being reduced to 770 examples, and the GM contract being cancelled outright.
An additional order was placed for 126 F8F-1B's replacing the .50 cal machine guns with the 20 mm M2 cannon, the US version of the widely used Hispano-Suiza HS.404.
An unmodified production F8F-1 set a 1946 time-to-climb record (after a run of 115 ft/35 m) of 10,000 ft (3,048 m) in 94 seconds (6,383 fpm).
The Bearcat held this record for 10 years until it was broken by a jet fighter (which still could not match the Bearcat's short takeoff distance).
The first production aircraft was delivered in February 1945 and the first squadron, Fighter Squadron 19 (VF-19), was operational by 21 May 1945, but World War II was over before the aircraft saw combat service.
While they worked well under carefully controlled conditions in flight and on the ground, in the field, where aircraft were repetitively stressed by landing on carriers and since the wings were slightly less carefully made in the factories, there was a possibility that only one wingtip would break away with the possibility of the aircraft crashing.
This was replaced with an explosives system to blow the wingtips off together, which also worked well, but this ended when a ground technician died due to an accidental triggering.
Postwar, the F8F became a major U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps fighter, equipping 24 fighter squadrons in the Navy and a smaller number in the Marines.
Its capability for aerobatic performance is illustrated by its selection as the second demonstration aircraft for the navy's elite Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron in 1946, replacing the Grumman F6F Hellcat.
The Blue Angels flew the Bearcat until the team was temporarily disbanded in 1950 during the Korean War and pressed into operational combat service.
The first combat for the F8F Bearcat was during the French Indochina War (1946–1954) when nearly 200 Bearcats were delivered to the French forces in 1951.
When the war ended in 1954, 28 surviving Bearcats were supplied to the Republic of Vietnam Air Force and entered service in 1956.
The Vietnamese Bearcats were retired in 1960, replaced with Douglas A-1 Skyraiders and North American T-28 Trojans as the Vietnam War (1957–1975) continued.

Olympic Stadium () is a multi-purpose stadium in Montreal, Canada, located at Olympic Park in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district of the city.
The Montreal Alouettes of the CFL returned to their previous home of Molson Stadium in 1998 for regular season games, but continued to use Olympic Stadium for playoff and Grey Cup games until 2014 when they returned to Molson Stadium for all of their games.
The Montreal Impact of Major League Soccer (MLS) use the venue on occasion, when demand for tickets justifies the large capacity or when the weather restricts outdoor play at nearby Saputo Stadium in the spring months.
The stadium and Olympic Park grounds border Maisonneuve Park, which includes the Montreal Botanical Garden, adjacent to the west across Rue Sherbrooke (Route 138).
A covered stadium was thought to be all but essential for Drapeau's other goal of bringing a Major League Baseball team to Montreal, given the cold weather that can affect the city in April, October and sometimes even September.
In 1967, soon after the National League granted Montreal an expansion franchise for 1969, Drapeau wrote a letter promising that any prospective Montreal team would be playing in a covered stadium by 1971.
However, even as powerful as he was, he did not have the power to make such a guarantee on his own authority.
Just as Charles Bronfman, who was slated to become the franchise's first owner, was ready to walk away, Drapeau had his staffers draw up a proposal for a stadium.
The stadium was designed by French architect Roger Taillibert to be an elaborate facility featuring a retractable roof, which was to be opened and closed by cables suspended from a huge tower – the tallest inclined structure in the world, and the sixth tallest structure in Montreal.
An Olympic velodrome (since converted to the Montreal Biodome, an indoor nature museum) was situated at the base of the tower in a building similar in design to the swimming pool.
The stadium was host to various events including the opening and closing ceremonies, athletics, football finals, and the team jumping equestrian events.
Taillibert based the building on plant and animal forms, aiming to include vertebral structures with sinews or tentacles, while still following the basic plans of Modern architecture.
The stadium was originally slated to be finished in 1972, but the grand opening was cancelled due to a strike by construction workers.
Further delays ensued due to the stadium's unusual design and Taillibert's unwillingness to back down from his original vision of the stadium even in the face of escalating costs for raw materials.
It did not help that the original project manager, Trudeau et Associés, seemed to be incapable of handling some of the most basic construction tasks.
The Quebec provincial government finally lost patience with the delays and cost overruns in 1974, and threw Taillibert off the project.
The roof materials languished in a warehouse in Marseille until 1982, and the tower and roof were not completed until 1987.
When construction on the stadium's tower resumed after the 1976 Olympics, a multi-storey observatory was added to the plan, accessible via a inclined elevator, opened in 1987, that travels along the curved tower's spine.
The elevator cabin ascends from base of the tower to upper deck in less than two minutes at a rate of , with space for 76 persons per trip and a capacity of 500 persons per hour.
The Olympic Park, the stadium's suspended roof and downtown Montreal can be viewed from the south-west facing Observatory at the top of the tower.
Despite initial projections in 1970 that the stadium would cost only C$134 million to construct, strikes and construction delays served to escalate these costs.
By 2006, the amount contributed to the stadium's owner, the Olympic Installations Board (OIB) (fr: Régie des Installations Olympiques), accounted for 8% of the tax revenue earned from cigarette sales.
The 1976 special tobacco tax act stipulated that once the stadium was paid off, ownership of the facility would be returned to the City of Montreal.
The total expenditure (including repairs, renovations, construction, interest, and inflation) amounted to C$1.61 billion, making it—at the time all costs were paid off—the second most expensive stadium built (after Wembley Stadium in London).
Despite initial plans to complete payment in October 2006, an indoor smoking ban introduced in May 2006 curtailed the revenue gathered by the tobacco tax.
By 2014, the stadium's expense ranking had fallen to fifth, with the construction of costlier venues like MetLife Stadium, AT&T Stadium, and the new Yankee Stadium.
It is estimated that a large-scale event such as the Grey Cup can generate as much as $50 million in revenue.
Although the tower and retractable roof were not completed in time for the 1976 Olympics, construction on the tower resumed in the 1980s.
During this period, however, a large fire set the tower ablaze, causing damage and forcing a scheduled Expos home game to be postponed.
In 1986, a large chunk of the tower fell onto the playing field prior to another Expos game August 29 vs. San Diego Padres forcing a doubleheader on August 30.
In January 1985, approval was given by the Quebec government to complete the project and install a retractable roof, financed by an Olympic cigarette tax in the province.
As part of various renovations made in 1991 to improve the stadium's suitability as a baseball venue, 12,000 seats were eliminated, most of them in distant portions of the outfield, and home plate was moved closer to the stands.
No one was injured, but the Expos had to move their final 13 home games of that season to the opponents' cities.
In 1999, a portion of the roof collapsed on January 18, dumping ice and snow on workers that were setting up for the annual Montreal Auto Show.
The auto show and a boat show the following month were canceled, and the auto show left the venue for good (since then, the Montreal Auto Show has usually been held at the Palais des congrès de Montréal).
Repaired once again, the roof was modified to better withstand winter conditions: the OIB installed a network of pipes to circulate heated water under the roof to allow for snow melting.
The installer of the roof, Danny's Construction, having suffered tremendous cost overruns along with its subcontractor Montacier, due to changes in the plans and specifications and delays, was terminated during the construction, and Birdair completed the project.
In February 2010, after a lengthy trial, the Quebec Superior Court awarded a judgement in favour of Danny's Construction and dismissed Birdair's countersuit.
During the Expos' final years in Montreal, it was coated with grime, and much of the concrete was chipped, stained, and soiled.
However, the Olympic Installations Board issued a report stating that the roof was unsafe during heavy rainfall or more than of snow, and that it rips 50 to 60 times a year.
The city fire department warned in August 2009 that without corrective measures, including a new roof, it may order the stadium closed.
Events cannot be held if more than of snow are predicted 24 hours in advance, such as caused postponement of the Montreal Impact home opener soccer match in March 2014.
In May 2011 a committee was formed to study the future of the stadium and improve the usage of the stadium, pool, and sports centre.
In 2015, a new high definition scoreboard was installed, replacing the aging two-panel display dating back to the stadium's renovations in 1992.
The new roof would be removable, allowing the stadium to either be open-air or enclosed, consistent with the intent of the original roof.
The Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes became the stadium's first major post-Olympic tenant when they moved their home games there halfway through the 1976 season.
Capacity was reduced from its Olympic capacity of 72,000 to 58,500, but leapt to 66,308 when the natural grass was replaced with AstroTurf ahead of the 1977 season.
The Alouettes remained there through 1986, the franchise's final season of operations; the team would shut down shortly after the start of the 1987 season.
A revived Alouettes franchise returned for the 1996 and 1997 seasons, but then moved to the Percival Molson Stadium in 1998, only using the larger Olympic Stadium for select regular-season and home playoff games.
Due to the increased popularity of the Alouettes and the small capacity of Percival Molson Stadium, the team considered returning to Olympic Stadium on a full-time basis, but instead renovated Percival Molson Stadium to increase its capacity.
In addition, the stadium holds the record for the largest Grey Cup attendance, that of the 1977 Grey Cup game, in which the hometown Montreal Alouettes defeated the Edmonton Eskimos, 41-6 before 68,318 spectators; this despite a local transit strike and harsh winter weather conditions.
Olympic Stadium has hosted the Grey Cup a total of six times, most recently in 2008 when the Calgary Stampeders defeated the hometown Alouettes.
The stadium holds the record for nine of the ten largest crowds in CFL history, which include five regular-season and four Grey Cup games.
This included hosting World Bowl '92 on June 6, 1992, in which the Sacramento Surge defeated the Orlando Thunder 21–17 before 43,789.
As a part of the team's franchise grant, a domed stadium was supposed to be in place for the 1972 baseball season.
However, due to the delays in constructing Olympic Stadium, until 1977, the Expos annually sought and received a waiver to remain at Jarry.
As late as January 1977, it was thought the Expos would have to play at least part of the 1977 season at Jarry as well.
The Expos regularly played 81 home games every season until 2003, when they played 22 home games in Puerto Rico at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan.
The Expos played 59 home games at Olympic Stadium in each of their final two seasons of 2003 and 2004; the franchise moved south to Washington, D.C. for the 2005 season and became the Washington Nationals.
However, the Expos had to use a hacksaw to cut open the locks because the OIB did not have a master key.
The Expos played five home playoff games in 1981; two in the NLDS against the Phillies, and three in the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers, who went on to win the World Series.
In 1982, the Major League Baseball All-Star Game was played at Olympic Stadium in front of 59,057—a stadium record for baseball.
As in all multipurpose stadiums, the lower seating tier was set further back than in baseball-specific parks to accommodate the football field.
However, since Canadian football fields are longer and wider than American football fields, Olympic Stadium's lower tier was set back even further than comparable seats at American multipurpose stadiums.
The upper deck was one of the highest in the majors; as was the case with most of its multipurpose counterparts, most of the upper-deck seats, particularly those in the outfield, were too far away to be of any use during the regular season.
The Expos felt considerable chagrin that they were not consulted on the stadium's location, design, or construction even though they were slated to be its primary tenants.
Whenever an opposing pitcher tried to hold a runner at first rather than pitch, the sound system would cluck at him like a chicken.
Also ahead of the 1992 season, the running track was removed, home plate was moved closer to the stands and new seats closer to the field were installed.
The Expos were very successful in the stadium for a time, with above National League median attendance in 1977 and from 1979 to 1983.
The Expos outdrew the New York Mets from 1977 to 1983, and 1994 to 1996, as well as the New York Yankees in 1982 and 1983.
For most of the Expos' tenure, the playing surface was an extremely thin AstroTurf carpet, with only equally thin padding between it and the concrete floor.
Longtime Expos trainer Ron McClain begged for a replacement, but the OIB was unwilling to spend the $1 million needed for a new surface.
Additionally, for most of the Expos' tenure, the padding on the fence was so thin that fielders risked severe injury by going after long fly balls.
By the 1990s, several free agents specifically demanded that the Expos be taken out of consideration due to the poor playing conditions.
By the mid-1990s, owner Claude Brochu concluded that Olympic Stadium was not suitable as a baseball venue, and actively campaigned for a replacement.
However, Quebec Premier Lucien Bouchard refused to authorize public funding deemed necessary for a replacement, in part because Olympic Stadium still had not been paid for.
Ten years after the last Expos game at Olympic Stadium, the Toronto Blue Jays played two spring training games at the stadium against the New York Mets on March 28 and 29, 2014, with combined attendance of 96,350.
Willie Stargell of the Pittsburgh Pirates hit the longest home run at Olympic Stadium on May 20, 1978, driving the ball into the second deck in right field for an estimated distance of 535 feet.
Stargell also hit a notable home run at the Expos' original Montreal home, Jarry Park, which landed in a swimming pool beyond the right field fence.
On April 4, 1988, the Expos' Opening Day, Darryl Strawberry of the New York Mets hit a ball off a speaker which hangs off a concrete ring at Olympic Stadium, estimated to have traveled 525 feet.
The longest home run hit to left field was Vladimir Guerrero's blast on July 28, 2003, that hit an advertising sign directly below the left field upper deck.
Several games of the 2007 FIFA Under 20 World Cup were played at Olympic Stadium and drew the largest crowds of the tournament, including two sell-outs of 55,800.
Olympic Stadium hosted a CONCACAF Champions League quarter-final game pitting the original Montreal Impact – who played primarily in the adjacent Saputo Stadium – against Club Santos Laguna of the Liga MX (Mexico First Division) on February 25, 2009.
The stadium was also home to a friendly match between the Impact and A.C. Milan of the Italian Serie A on June 2, 2010 before 47,861.
On July 25, 2009, Olympic Stadium became the first stadium outside France to host Ligue 1's Trophée des Champions, a super cup played by the winner of Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France.
On March 17, 2012, a record crowd of 58,912 packed Olympic Stadium to cheer on the current version of the Montreal Impact for their MLS debut on home soil, in an entertaining 1–1 draw with the Chicago Fire, setting a new attendance record for professional soccer in Quebec.
That record was later broken on May 12, 2012 with 60,860 people for a match against the LA Galaxy, also setting a new attendance record for professional soccer in Canada.
On April 29, 2015, a record crowd of 61,004 attended the final match of the CONCACAF Champions League between the Montreal Impact and Club América, establishing a new record attendance for professional soccer in Canada.
One notable game was the semi-final match-up between the United States and Germany that took place on June 30, 2015, which drew a crowd of 51,176 people.
The Americans won 2–0 in front of a largely partisan crowd and then went on to win their record third FIFA Women's World Cup trophy the following Sunday in Vancouver.
This stadium is one of Canada's three candidate venues for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and is expected to get a retractable roof during the renovations for this sports event.
Olympic Stadium hosted the 1978 World Junior Speed Skating Championships where they crowned the American siblings Eric and Beth Heiden as junior world champions.
On June 20, 1980, Roberto Durán defeated Sugar Ray Leonard to win the WBC boxing world's welterweight championship at the Olympic Stadium.
On October 30, 2010, a special mass, to commemorate the ascension to sainthood of Brother André, was held at the stadium.
As part of the commemorative stamps created for the 1976 Olympics, Canada Post issued a stamp depicting the Olympic Stadium and Velodrome.
In 2016, Blessed was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to the arts and charity.
Brian Blessed was born on 9 October 1936 at Montagu Hospital in Mexborough, Yorkshire, the son of William Blessed (1906–2005), a socialist coal miner at Hickleton Main Colliery (and himself the son of a coal miner), and Hilda Wall (1909–1997).
Blessed's great-great-grandfather, Jabez Blessed, was the father of 13 children and worked as a china and glass dealer in Brigg, Lincolnshire; many of Blessed's relatives hail from Brigg.
Blessed went to Bolton on Dearne Secondary Modern School, completed his national service in the RAF Regiment before enrolling at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.
He has further provided vocal links for the Sony-Award-winning Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio, and introduced advertisements for Orange mobile phones.
From 2007 to 2008, he appeared in the same play as Captain Hook at the Grove Theatre in Dunstable; he reprised the role for the Christmas 2008 season at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon.
Following a Facebook campaign, satellite navigation manufacturer TomTom recorded Blessed's voice for use in its products; he has been available as a voice command option since October 2010.
Blessed has attempted to climb Mount Everest three times without supplemental oxygen, reaching heights of in 1993 and in 1996, but without reaching the summit.
He is the oldest man to go to the North Magnetic Pole on foot, and has undertaken an expedition into the jungles of Venezuela, during which he survived a plane crash.
Blessed served as President of the Television and Radio Industries Club (TRIC) from 2007 to 2008 and presented the 2008 TRIC Awards at Grosvenor House, London.
Known for his football knowledge, he appeared as an expert and commentator on the satellite channel UKTV G2 during the 2006 World Cup.
He received medical attention from a doctor in the audience and returned to the stage to complete the play 20 minutes later.
The same year, Blessed was nominated for the post of Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, following a campaign by graduates.
Blessed was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2016 Birthday Honours for services to the arts and charity.
Posing as German spy Leni Zauber, Mystique seduced freelance supervillain Victor Creed (Sabretooth) while he was in Germany on a mission.
Mystique later gave birth to a normal human child—Graydon—whom she gave up for adoption, although she kept an eye on him.
When Graydon learned that he was the son of two mutants who had abandoned him as an inconvenience, he grew resentful of all mutants, and that resentment colored his outlook for the rest of his life.
In his adult years, Graydon formed a group called the Friends of Humanity, dedicated to opposing mutant civil rights by committing acts of terrorism against peaceful mutants and mutant sympathizers, and using the acts of violent mutants such as Magneto to rally support for their cause.
Creed also came to join the Upstarts, a group of wealthy and powerful individuals who had been brought together by Selene and the enigmatic telepathic Gamesmaster with the sole purpose of killing mutants for points in a twisted game.
His father managed to remove the device and confronted his son, who callously shot Sabretooth's assistant Birdy, a mutant telepath whom Sabretooth employed to keep his homicidal rages in check.
Later, using the resources he had gained through the Friends of Humanity, and with the support of the government-sponsored anti-mutant taskforce Operation: Zero Tolerance, Creed nominated himself as a presidential candidate and ran on an anti-mutant platform.
Capitalizing on a near-hysterical fear of mutants in the general public, Creed's popularity swelled, which led to the Daily Bugle newspaper launching an investigation into Creed's activities.
When a reporter from the Bugle obtained information regarding Creed's parentage, Zero Tolerance's leader Bastion killed the journalist to prevent the news from leaking out.
The pages of X-Force show a group of Purifiers digging up the corpse of Graydon Creed, his body is then taken back to their base.
Creed later went public with his return, claiming that his death was faked all along to allow him to go underground and avoid persecution from mutants.
After Lady Deathstrike and Daken are stabbed by a zombie version of Lord Dark Wind, Sabretooth fights his zombified son who states that there is 10 minutes left before Maybelle is burned to the ground.
During the X-Termination crossover, AoA Nightcrawler's trip home resulted in the release of three evil beings that destroy anyone they touch.
His prominence was short-lived as Magneto (who compared Graydon Creed to Adolf Hitler) viewed it as his duty to rid the world of the man.
In this reality, Graydon Greed is still the son of Mystique and Sabretooth and the founder of the Friends of Humanity.
As in the comics, Creed hates mutants because he is ashamed of being part mutant himself, and because his parents, Mystique and Sabretooth, were abusive to him.
After the Beast's pardon by the President, Graydon's resentment grew even more and the Friends of Humanity began targeting the X-Men.
While giving a speech about the plague's effects, Graydon attempts to infect Beast with the virus but is stopped by Bishop.
Beast begins searching for her and Wolverine infiltrates the Friends of Humanity, pretending to be the victim of an assault by evil mutants.
An enraged Beast attacks the FOH headquarters and the X-Men use a holographic projector to display information on Sabretooth in front of the Friends of Humanity, including his real name (given in this episode as Graydon Creed Senior).
The roof has radar, a laser beam weapon, a helipad and communication antennas, disguised as billboards, that have a worldwide reach.
Below the sub-level, there is an underground docking area and a tunnel that runs under the United Nations headquarters giving U.N.C.L.E.
The headquarters is designed as a fortress hidden in the center of a block of buildings with Brownstone apartments serving as the exterior facade.
In the daytime, field agents are admitted by way of Del Floria's, a small, nondescript tailor/dry-cleaning shop located one flight below street level.
There, a receptionist pins on a security badge (white or later, yellow for highest security clearance; red and green for low clearance and visitors).
There are also entrances through the Men's and Women's lockers at the rear of the parking garage (admissions for non-field personnel).
After hours, when Del Floria's is closed, agents may also enter through the Masque Club or through the offices of the charitable organization.
The New York office is but one of several located around the world -- and some also use the Del Floria tailor shop as a front (as seen, for example, with U.N.C.L.E.
The official logo of the organization is a black Nicolosi-projection globe with some lines of longitude and latitude picked out in white.
There is a conference for everyone in this section yearly as well as an annual meeting of the five chiefs alone.
Any agent who works at a computer terminal or provides information for the field agents is a member of this section.
Those who handle basic personnel matters (like hiring and medical insurance processing, among other normal business functions) are also members of this section.
The Propaganda section is located on the third floor of the whitestone building adjacent to the N.Y. headquarters and functions as U.N.C.L.E.
It is part of this section's job to see to it that the public never sees the very secret face of the real U.N.C.L.E.
In recent decades, the SKI combinator calculus, with only two primitive combinators, K and S, has become the canonical approach to combinatory logic.
Two sequences that differ in the order of their terms define different compositions of their sum, while they are considered to define the same partition of that number.
Eadie, who is part Native American, was born in Valentine, Nebraska and raised on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
When she was four, Betty's parents separated and she was placed in St. Francis Indian School, one of the American Indian boarding schools at the time, along with six of her siblings.
She converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), in which she says she was largely inactive until her Near Death Experience (NDE), after which she became active and served church callings in her ward in Seattle.
Today, after more than 37 years of NDE studies, Betty J. Eadie continues to collect and evaluate near-death accounts, as well as giving speeches and lectures.
In her NDE account, Eadie reports many phenomena similar to other NDE accounts, such as going through a dark tunnel, seeing a bright light and experiencing a Life review, as well as other features unique to her story.
She was met by three angelic beings who spoke with her about her prior existence and hitherto suppressed memories in order to participate in earthly experience.
She traveled to terrestrial locations such as her home merely by thinking about them, returned to her hospital, and then passed on through a dark tunnel-like medium in which she reported sensing other beings in a transitory preparatory stage.
Possessing a corporeal identity of an ethereal kind, she visited numerous places, persons, and phenomena such as natural settings and gardens beyond the character of the conventionally material, and was taken on a tour of sorts of learning experiences that she said felt equivalent to weeks or months.
In addition to discussing traditional Christian subjects such as prayer, creation, and the Garden of Eden, Eadie reported visiting a library of the mind.
Here it became possible to know anything or anyone in history or the present, in minute and unambiguous detail, as well as being able to observe individuals on Earth and being taken to distant reaches and civilizations of the universe.
Warned initially upon arrival that she had died prematurely, Eadie was at last told she must return in order to fulfill the personal mission allocated her.
Its specific character, like numerous other details, were removed from her memory, in order, she said she was told, to prevent difficulties in her fulfilling it.
Upon protesting, she was made to understand the reason behind the necessity for her return and reluctantly agreed to do so.
She reported her return to material corporeality as extremely heavy-feeling and unpleasant, initially intermittent in phases, and accompanied not long after by a demonic visitation that was cut short by an angelic reappearance.
Eadie's doctor reportedly verified her clinical death on a return visit to the hospital, attributing it to a hemorrhage during a nurses' shift change, and took great interest in her recollections.
Independent verification of the length of her death was not possible, but she speculated it could have lasted up to four hours based on her memory of certain details preceding and following it.
She slowly became involved in near-death groups and studies and gave talks, subsequently going on to write her account in book form, which met with runaway success.
This was largely, in part, to its teaching (as she reported she was given it) that some denominations might approximate truth better than others.
She explains, however, that different teachings were more appropriate for certain individuals at their given stage of spiritual development, and therefore judgment should not be passed on them for where they were.
Curiously, Eadie also claims that after her encounter with Jesus, she learned that Christ and God were in fact two separate entities, a view conflicting with that of her Protestant-taught tradition of the Holy Trinity.
In addition, unlike some other Near-Death Experiencers, Eadie claims that reincarnation, as it is typically thought of, does not truly exist.
Eadie claims she was told that only a few return to this earth more than once, that some are sent back as teachers to help others.
She also stressed that her key lesson was that life's purpose was to learn love and to grow through the exercise of free will, including making mistakes.
Other teachings she recounted being given included the idea that there were few if any true accidents and that human lives and paths were chosen, agreed to, and prepared for in advance, with memory of such details suppressed and veiled.
Suicide, she said she was told, was wrong because it deprived people of opportunities to learn and grow, and that there was always hope in life.
Because of their appeal to the innate human desire for an understanding of afterlife, her works led to a strong reader response which she initially attempted to answer in detail but became forced to limit.
To meet some of this demand, she developed a website for general information and inspirational materials, as well as distribution of her books and related materials.
During a 2004 interview on Coast to Coast AM radio with George Noory, she said she was disappointed, following her first book's publication, that she was not permitted to return to the Celestial realm.
Desnica Radivojević (; 14 December 1952) is a Bosnian politician who serves as Minister of Planning in the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Between 27 January 2003 and 22 February 2007 he was one of the two Vice Presidents of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Between 2007 and 2010 he was Minister of Trade in the Federal Government, and in March 2011 he was named Minister of Physical Planning.
On 22 June 2012, his resignation for his ministerial post was signed by President of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Živko Budimir.
The problem occurred when members of the Federal Government from the Social Democratic Party wanted to vote for removals in the management and supervisory boards of public companies that are owned by the Federation, but they couldn't get majority without Radivojević, who was a member of the SDA, who opposed SDP's proposal.
He did post-graduate study on the subject of business administration and financial management at the CBA Academy in Zagreb in 2005.
Punjabi cuisine is a culinary style originating in the Punjab, a region in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent, which is now divided in an Indian part and a Pakistani part.
One is a special form of tandoori cooking that is now famous in other parts of India, UK, Canada, Hong Kong and in many parts of the world.
The local cuisine of Punjab is heavily influenced by the agriculture and farming lifestyle prevalent from the times of the ancient Harappan Civilization.
Common ones are chana masala, chole kulche, aloo paratha, panner paratha, gobi paratha, paratha with curd, halwa poori, bhatoora, falooda, makhni doodh, Amritsari lassi, masala chai, tea, Amritsari kulchas, dahi vada, dahi, khoa, paya, aloo paratha with butter, panjeeri with milk.
Indian subcontinent based spices are used in Punjabi cuisine which are grounded in the Mortar and pestle or the food processor.
According to Ahmed (2014), Harappan oven structures may have operated in a similar manner to the modern tandoors of the Punjab.
The tandoor is traditionally made of clay and is a bell-shaped oven, set into the earth and fired with wood or charcoal reaching high temperatures.
Also in the old infrastructure smoke houses are a common occurrence that are used for smoking the meat products that increase the shelf life of the meat and also add taste in it as well.
Bringing and sending fresh fruits, sweets and food items as gifts to family members is a common practice in Punjab, particularly during the spring season.
The New Punjab Club, located in Hong Kong, became the world's first Punjabi restaurant to earn One Michelin Star in 2019.
Cladium (fen-sedge, sawgrass or twig-sedge) is a genus of large sedges, with a nearly worldwide distribution in tropical and temperate regions.
These are plants characterized by long, narrow (grass-like) leaves having sharp, often serrated (sawtooth-like) margins, and flowering stems 1–3 m tall bearing a much-branched inflorescence.
Sawgrass may be useful as a source for developing biofuel (ethanol), possibly replacing corn as the cellulose (the basis for developing ethanol) source of choice.
The number of species contained in the genus is disputed, with different authors accepting between two and 60 species as distinct.
The Durant was a make of automobile assembled by Durant Motors Corporation of New York City, New York from 1921 to 1926 and again from 1928 to 1932.
Lord Salisbury lives in one of England's largest historic houses, Hatfield House, which was built by an ancestor in the early 17th century, and he currently serves as Chancellor of the University of Hertfordshire.
Robert Michael James Gascoyne-Cecil was born on 30 September 1946, the eldest child and first-born son of Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 6th Marquess of Salisbury.
Lord Cranborne attended Eton College and Christ Church, Oxford, and became a merchant banker before going to work on the family estates.
Lord Cranborne was selected, unexpectedly, as the Conservative Party candidate for South Dorset in 1976, where his family owned lands, despite the presence of several former MPs on the shortlist.
He won the seat at the 1979 general election, the seventh consecutive generation of his family to sit in the House of Commons.
He attracted a general reputation as a right-winger, especially on matters affecting the Church of England, but confounded this reputation when he co-wrote a pamphlet in 1981 which said that the fight against unemployment ought to be given more priority than the fight against inflation.
He took an interest in Northern Ireland, and, when Jim Prior announced his policy of 'Rolling Devolution', resigned an unpaid job as assistant to Douglas Hurd.
Lord Cranborne became known as an anti-communist through his activities in support of Afghan refugees in Pakistan in the early-1980s, and sending food parcels to Poland.
Until the early years of the twenty-first century, a charity shop was run on his Hatfield estate solely to raise money for these causes, including funds for Polish orphanages.
His strong opposition to any involvement by the Republic of Ireland in Northern Ireland led him to oppose the Anglo-Irish Agreement and contributed to his decision to retire from the House of Commons in 1987.
After the 1992 general election, John Major used a writ of acceleration to call Lord Cranborne up to the House of Lords in one of his father's junior titles.
Thus, Lord Cranborne was summoned to Parliament as Baron Cecil, of Essendon in the County of Rutland (his father's most junior dignity), although he continued to be known by his courtesy style of Viscount Cranborne.
This is the most recent time a writ of acceleration has been issued, and due to the provisions of the House of Lords Act of 1999, abolishing the automatic right of hereditary peers to sit in the House of Lords, any future use of the writ of acceleration is highly unlikely.
He served for two years as a junior defence minister before being appointed as Lord Privy Seal and Leader of the House of Lords in 1994.
When Major resigned as Leader of the Conservative Party in an attempt to test his authority as leader in July 1995, Lord Cranborne led his re-election campaign.
He was recognised as one of the few members of the Cabinet who were personally loyal to Major, but continued to lead the Conservative Peers after Labour won the 1997 general election.
When the new Prime Minister Tony Blair proposed the removal of the hereditary element in the House of Lords, Lord Cranborne negotiated a pact with the Labour government to retain a small number (later set at ninety-two) of hereditary peers for the interim period.
However, Lord Cranborne gave his party's approval without consulting the party leader, William Hague, who knew nothing and was embarrassed when Blair told him of it in the House of Commons.
All former Leaders of the House of Lords who were hereditary peers accepted life peerages to keep them in the upper house in 1999.
Lord Cranborne, who had received the title Baron Gascoyne-Cecil, of Essendon in the County of Rutland, remained active on the backbenches until the House of Lords adopted new rules for declaration of financial interests which he believed were too onerous.
He was therefore out of the House of Lords when he succeeded his father as the 7th Marquess of Salisbury on 11 July 2003.
In January 2010, Lord Salisbury and Owen Paterson, the then Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, hosted secret talks at Hatfield House, involving the DUP, the UUP and the Conservative Party.
These talks prompted speculation that the Conservatives were attempting to create a pan-unionist front to limit Sinn Féin and the Social Democratic and Labour Party at the general election of 2010.
In September 2012, Lord Salisbury, in his role as Chairman of the Thames Diamond Jubilee Foundation, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II and became a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (KCVO).
He is a Deputy Lieutenant of Hertfordshire, and the current President of the Friends of the British Library and of the Friends of Friendless Churches.
Lord Salisbury is the Chairman of the Constitution Reform Group (CRG), a cross-party pressure group which seeks a new constitutional settlement in the UK by way of a new Act of Union.
The group introduced the Act of Union Bill 2017-19 as a Private Member's Bill by Lord Lisvane in the House of Lords on 9 October 2018, when it received a formal first reading; its passage through Parliament was terminated by the ending of the parliamentary session in October 2019.
In 1970, aged 23, he married Hannah Stirling, niece of Colonel Sir David Stirling (a co-founder of the SAS) and a descendant of the Lords Lovat, Scottish Catholic aristocrats.
During the 1970s, Lord and Lady Cranborne had two sons and three daughters (including twins); the two elder daughters are now married.
The family seat is Hatfield House, once home to Queen Elizabeth I of England, which was given to the family by James I of England in exchange for the Cecil family house Theobalds.
The Cecils are landowners in Dorset, Hertfordshire and London, and the 7th Marquess ranked 352nd in the Sunday Times Rich List 2017, with an estimated net worth of £335m (of which the paintings at Hatfield accounted for £150m).
Shimla (; ), also known as Simla, is the capital and the largest city of the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
As the summer capital, Shimla hosted many important political meetings including the Simla Accord of 1914 and the Simla Conference of 1945.
After independence, the state of Himachal Pradesh came into being in 1948 as a result of integration of 28 princely states.
Shimla is home to a number of buildings that are styled in the Tudorbethan and neo-Gothic architectures dating from the colonial era, as well as multiple temples and churches.
Attractions include the Viceregal Lodge, the Christ Church, the Jakhoo Temple, the Mall Road, the Ridge and Annadale which together form the city centre.
Owing to its steep terrain, Shimla hosts the mountain biking race MTB Himalaya, which started in 2005 and is regarded as the biggest event of its kind in South Asia.
Apart from being a tourism centre, the city is also an educational hub with a number of colleges and research institutions.
Three years later, his successor and the Scottish civil servant Charles Pratt Kennedy built the first pucca house in the area in 1822, near Annadale, what is now the Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly building.
In 1830, the British acquired the surrounding land from the chiefs of Keonthal and Patiala in exchange for the Rawin pargana and a portion of the Bharauli pargana.
After this, the town was under Nawab (King) Kumar Ghosal of Bally, West Bengal and saw regular visits from the Governors General and Commanders-in-Chief of British India.
A number of young British officers started visiting the area to socialise with the higher-ups; they were followed by ladies looking for marriage alliances for their relatives.
The Indian businessmen, mainly from Sood and Parsi communities, arrived in the area to cater to the needs of the growing European population.
Subsequently, several roads were widened and the construction of the Hindustan-Tibet road with a 560-feet tunnel was taken up in 1851–52.
This tunnel, now known as the Dhalli Tunnel, was started by a Major Briggs in 1850 and completed in the winter of 1851–52.
The 1857 uprising caused a panic among the European residents of the town, but Shimla remained largely unaffected by the rebellion.
He took the trouble of moving the administration twice a year between Calcutta and this separate centre over 1,000 miles away, despite the fact that it was difficult to reach.
Lord Lytton (Viceroy of India 1876–1880) made efforts to plan the town from 1876, when he first stayed in a rented house, but began plans for a Viceregal Lodge, later built on Observatory Hill.
The Upper Bazaar was cleared for a town hall, with many facilities such as library and theatre, as well as offices for police and military volunteers as well as municipal administration.
This may have been helped by the fact that it was very expensive, having an ideal climate and thus being desirable, as well as having limited accommodation.
British soldiers, merchants and civil servants moved here each year to escape from the heat during summer in the Indo-Gangetic plain.
In addition, Shimla was the capital of the undivided state of Punjab in 1871, and remained so until the construction of the new city of Chandigarh (the present-day capital of the Indian states of Punjab and Haryana).
The State of Bilaspur was merged in the Himachal Pradesh on 1 April 1954 by the Himachal Pradesh and Bilaspur (New State) Act, 1954.
Himachal became a part C state on 26 January 1950 with the implementation of the Constitution of India and the Lt.
On 18 December 1970, the State of Himachal Pradesh Act was passed by Parliament and the new state came into being on 25 January 1971.
Pre-independence structures still dot Shimla; buildings such as the former Viceregal Lodge, Assembly Chamber, Auckland House, Christ Church, Gorton Castle, Shimla Town Hall and the Gaiety Theatre are reminders of British rule in India.
The central spine was the Mall, which ran along the length of the ridge, with a Mall Extension southwards, closed to all carriages except those of the viceroy and his wife.
Shimla was built on top of seven hills: Inverarm Hill, Observatory Hill, Prospect Hill, Summer Hill, Bantony Hill, Elysium Hill and Jakhoo Hill.
Other rivers that flow through the Shimla district, although further from the city, are the Giri, and Pabbar (both tributaries of Yamuna).
Environmental degradation due to the increasing number of tourists every year without the infrastructure to support them has resulted in Shimla losing its popular appeal as an ecotourism spot.
The city is situated 88 km (55 miles) northeast of Kalka, 116 km (72 miles) northeast of Chandigarh, 247 km (154 miles) south of Manali and 350 km (219 miles) northeast of Delhi, the national capital.
The average total annual precipitation is , which is much less than most other hill stations but still much heavier than on the plains.
Snowfall in the region, which historically has taken place in the month of December, has lately (over the last fifteen years) been happening in January or early February every year.
Recently a Model Career Centre has been set-up at Regional Employment Exchange, Shimla to enable bridging the gap between job-seekers and employers.
In addition to being the local hub of transport and trade, Shimla is the area's healthcare centre, hosting a medical college and four major hospitals: Indira Gandhi Hospital (Snowdown Hospital,) Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital (formerly called Ripon Hospital), Kamla Nehru Hospital and Indus Hospital.
Shimla had always been famous for its quality of education and many important schools have been imparting quality education throughout the state.
Along with schools of higher education, several institutes are also present, namely Himachal Pradesh University and Indian Institute of Advanced Study.
Recruitment to the IAAS is through the joint competitive examinations (the Civil Services Examination) and through promotion from the subordinate cadre.
Government is trying to promote technology and IT sector as the new area for growth and promotion although not many companies have yet settled in Shimla.
Two notable companies that are registered in Shimla are Netgen IT Solutions, an international website development startup with partner offices in the US and Australia, and Himachal Media, a company that deals with content and media publishing.
The administrative responsibilities of the city of Shimla and merged areas of Dhalli, Totu and New Shimla reside with the Shimla Municipal Corporation (SMC).
Established in 1851, the Shimla Municipal Corporation is an elected body comprising 27 councillors, three of whom are nominated by the government of Himachal Pradesh.
The elections take place every five years and the mayor and deputy mayor are elected by and amongst the councillors themselves.
The two major political parties are the Bharatiya Janata Party and Indian National Congress with a third party, Communist Party of India (Marxist), emerging.
The city contributes one seat to the state assembly (Vidhan Sabha) and one seat to the lower house of parliament (Lok Sabha).
Law and order in the city is collectively maintained by the police force, Vigilance Department, enforcement directorate, forensics, fire brigade, prisons service and Home Guard.
The First Armed Police Battalion, one of the four armed police battalions in the state, is available for assistance to the local police.
According to 2011 census, Shimla city spread over an area of 35.34 km had a population of 169,578 with 93,152 males and 76,426 females.
Shimla urban agglomeration had a population of 171,817 as per provisional data of 2011 census, out of which males were 94,797 and females were 77,020.
The low sex ratio – 930 girls for every 1,000 boys in 2001 – is cause for concern, and much lower than the 974 versus 1,000 for Himachal Pradesh state as a whole.
Other than Hindi, Pahari languages are spoken by the ethnic Pahari people, who form a major part of the population in the city.
Punjabi language is prevalent among the ethnic Punjabi migrant population of the city, most of whom are refugees from West Punjab, who settled in the city after the Partition of India in 1947.
According to 2011 census, the majority religion of the city is Hinduism practised by 93.5% of the population, followed by Islam (2.29%), Sikhism (1.95%), Buddhism (1.33%), Christianity (0.62%), and Jainism (0.10%).
Since 2015, 95.0 BIG FM and Himachal Tourism have been jointly organising a seven-day long winter carnival on the Ridge from Christmas to New Year's.
The former Viceregal Lodge, which now houses the Indian Institute of Advanced Study, and Wildflower Hall, now a luxury hotel, are some of the famous ones.
Tatta Pani, from the main city, is the name of hot sulphur springs that are believed to have medicinal value located on the banks of the River Satluj.
Shimla Ice Skating Club, which manages the rink, hosts a carnival every year in January, which includes a fancy dress competition and figure skating events.
Due to the effects of global warming and increasing urban development in and around Shimla, the number of sessions on ice every winter has been decreasing in the past few years.
The culture of Shimla throwbacks religious, agnostic Kumauni people with simple lifestyle living away from the hustle and bustle of metro cities.
Some of the popular convent schools in the city are Bishop Cotton School, St. Edward's School, Shimla, Auckland House School, Shimla Public School, Sacred Heart Convent, Tara Hall, Convent of Jesus & Mary (Chelsea).
Bishop Cotton School and St. Edward's School, Shimla are for boys only, whereas, Tara Hall and Convent of Jesus & Mary (Chelsea) are for girls only.
The Indian Institute of Advanced Study, housed in the Viceregal lodge, is a residential centre for research in Humanities, Indian culture, religion and social and natural sciences.
Himachal Pradesh University Business School (HPUBS) and University Institute of Information Technology, Himachal Pradesh University (UIIT), a premier technical education institute, are also located here.
The one at Gandhi Bhavan in the university has over 40,000 books and the other library, also a heritage building on the ridge, has 7,000.
Other institutes of higher education and research located in Shimla are the Central Potato Research Institute, a member of Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and National Academy of Audit and Accounts for training of officers of the Indian Audits and Accounts Service (IA&AS).
Shimla is well-connected by road network to all major cities in north India and to all major towns and district headquarters within the state.
The city has a total of three railway stations with Shimla the main station and two others located at Summer Hill and Totu (Jutogh) respectively.
For about a week starting on 11 September 2007, an expert team from UNESCO visited the railway to review and inspect it for possible selection as a World Heritage Site.
State-owned All India Radio and Reliance Broadcast owned 95.0 BIG FM have local radio stations in Shimla, which transmits various programmes of mass interest.
Apart from a wide range of other national and international TV channels of different languages, the national TV broadcaster Doordarshan also broadcast channels like DD Shimla, DD National and DD Sports in the city.
Bundling, or tarrying, is the traditional practice of wrapping two people in a bed together, usually as a part of courting behavior.
The tradition is thought to have originated either in the Netherlands or in the British Isles and later became common in colonial United States, especially in Pennsylvania Dutch Country.
It is possible the precedent for bundling came from the biblical story of Ruth and Boaz, in which Ruth, a widow, and Boaz, a wealthy landowner, spend a night together in a grain storage room.
It is possible that, as late as the mid-19th century, bundling was still practiced in New York state and perhaps in New England, though its popularity was waning.
267 (N.Y. 1846), for example, initially argued before Judge Edmunds in the Orange Circuit Court of New York, concerned the seduction of a 19-year-old woman; testimony in the case established that bundling was a common practice in certain rural social circles at the time.
By the 20th century, bundling seems to have disappeared almost everywhere, except for the more conservative Old Order Amish affiliations, where it is still in use in the 21st century, regardless of location.
This amazing increase may, indeed, be partly ascribed to a singular custom prevalent among them, commonly known by the name of bundling—a superstitious rite observed by the young people of both sexes, with which they usually terminated their festivities, and which was kept up with religious strictness by the more bigoted part of the community.
Frontman Sascha Konietzko created his own form of promotion, issuing a press release that both disparaged and lauded the coming set.
alumni, such as Chris Connelly of Revolting Cocks and Bill Rieflin of Ministry, to help with the album's creation, along with assistance from more than a dozen studio musicians.
With the completed songs, Konietzko then allowed guest artists, such as Connelly, to pick songs they wanted to contribute to, and added their vocals or other instrumentation.
Another 50,000 copies of the sampler were to be handed out at summer college and beach events and given away at radio stations.
Blackman wrote the promotional piece for the album's press kit, and at Konietzko's request, wrote the first half of the promo as an insulting take down of the album rather than as a standard promo.
Looking back on the album at the time of its re-release, Konietzko said it was his favorite album of the 1990s.
Characters, settings, and music within the series contain visual and audio cues to American westerns, as well as traditional fantasy and science fiction elements.
The series has largely been overseen by producer Akifumi Kaneko and is viewed as a cult classic among other role-playing game franchises.
Looking for a way to capitalize on the growing role-playing game market of the mid-nineties, Sony commissioned Media.Vision to create a game that would combine elements of a traditional RPG with limited 3D graphics to promote the hardware of their newly released PlayStation console.
References to seminal role-playing game elements influenced by European fantasy such as castles, magic, dragons, and monsters, were added to attract players to a familiar concept, as well as extend the story-telling past the western medium to allow scenario writers from other elements.
The groundwork for the series' music was laid by composer Michiko Naruke, who had previously only written the scores to Super Nintendo Entertainment System titles.
Though the exact nature varies from one game to the next, they are seen as highly destructive devices with an array of functions in battle.
The practical usage of ARMs, either to protect or destroy life, is left to the user's discretion, and serves as a plot point within each game to establish a character's true motives.
The primary heroes of each game often ally themselves with these Guardians to defeat technology-reliant or ecologically unconscious villains who would either subjugate or destroy the world to suit their respective goals.
Filgaia is a fantasy world made to resemble the American West characterized by large deserts, red rock canyons, and dry plains.
Several other land types and climates exist, including forests, mountainous regions, grasslands, and Arctic tundras, though their predominance varies from one game to the next.
Though human towns and cities are plentiful, the wilderness that encompasses most of the landscape is riddled with monsters and other beasts, as well as ruins or dungeons from earlier eras that house ancient treasures inaccessible to all but skilled adventurers.
Filgaia is also home to a number of different races including the Native American-inspired Baskars, nature-dwelling Elws, and vampiric Crimson Nobles.
This flaw was later exploited by the Metal Demons during the second Demon War and was the main reason the Elws created the Holmcross.
When the Guardian Blade was activated, it sucked the vitality out of part of the planet and started the decay that would slowly turn Filgaia into a barren wasteland that would soon be impossible for the Elw, who were dependent on nature, to live on.
This and the Elw distrust of humans led to the creation of the Elw Dimension and the Elw's evacuation of Filgaia.
In games in which the Abyss — a sometimes ridiculously long optional dungeon that appears in many of the games — is present, he will be at the end of that dungeon.
The player is not often given many clues to find him, but he is always alluded to in a few bookshelves throughout the game.
When defeated, Ragu usually bestows upon the player the iconic Sheriff Star accessory, which not only proves the player's valor, but also tends to make the remainder of the game quite easy when equipped due to its effects.
Each individual title is set in the world of Filgaia and contain several consistencies that have become series mainstays, including similar races, monsters, technologies, and plot points.
However, only two of the titles directly allude to any chronology, as each game bears a Filgaia unrecognizable from each prior title, so it can be assumed that something has once more devastated it between each entry in the series.
Set in a dystopian future, the manga features a large group of humans on their last legs, living in the overcrowded city of Upper Hose where flowers and other flora are rare and valuable.
Traveling into the wilderness with Jechika and a florist named Gi, Maxi sets off on a quest to restore the balance of nature throughout the world and make the earth habitable again.
Each work follows the plot of each game it is based on, with minor interpretations to the original script and characters.
Wild Arms: Twilight Venom is a 22-episode anime series originally broadcast on Japan's WOWOW network from October 1999 to March 2000 produced by Studio Bee Train.
Directed by Itsuro Kawasaki and Kōichi Mashimo, the series follows the adventures of two treasure hunters - Loretta, an aspiring sorceress and Mirabelle, a Crimson Noble - who stumble upon the body of Sheyenne Rainstorm, a warrior from the past reborn as a 10-year-old boy.
Able to use the archaic yet powerful ARM devices found with him, Sheyenne and the others team up with gung-ho scientist Dr. Aronnax to discover the secret of his past.
The second album, Rocking Heart, released the following October, is a rock and jazz-inspired remix album featuring arrangements by Nittoku Inoue, Nobuhiko Kashiwara, Nao Tokisawa, Atsushi Tomita, Transquillo, and Ryo Yonemitsu.
Water resources laws may apply to any portion of the hydrosphere over which claims may be made to appropriate or maintain the water to serve some purpose.
The Code of Hammurabi was one of the earliest written laws to deal with water issues, and this code included the administration of water use.
hydroelectric plants), while others consume much of what they take (ice, agriculture), and still others use water without diverting it at all (e.g.
Water law involves controversy in some parts of the world where a growing population faces increasing competition over a limited natural supply.
Although water law is still regulated mainly by individual countries, there are international sets of proposed rules such as the Helsinki Rules on the Uses of the Waters of International Rivers and the Hague Declaration on Water Security in the 21st Century.
Long-term issues in water law include the possible effects of global warming on rainfall patterns and evaporation; the availability and cost of desalination technology; the control of pollution, and the growth of aquaculture.
The first is riparian rights, where the owner of the adjacent land has the right to the water in the body next to it.
The other major model is the prior appropriations model, the first party to make use of a water supply has the first rights to it, regardless of whether the property is near the water source.
Riparian systems are generally more common in areas where water is plentiful, while appropriations systems are more common in dry climates.
The right to use water to satisfy basic human needs for personal and domestic uses has been protected under international human rights law.
When incorporated in national legal frameworks, this right is articulated to other water rights within the broader body of water law.
The human right to water has been recognized in international law through a wide range of international documents, including international human rights treaties, declarations and other standards.
Most especially, governments are expected to take reasonable steps to avoid a contaminated water supply and to ensure there are no water access distinctions amongst citizens.
Today all states have at least ratified one human rights convention which explicitly or implicitly recognizes the right, and they all have signed at least one political declaration recognizing this right.
Provincial jurisdiction is derived from the powers over property and civil rights, matters of a local and private nature, and management of Crown lands.
In Ontario, Quebec and other provinces, the beds of all navigable waters are vested in the Crown, in contrast to English law.
Some derives from common law principles which have developed over centuries, and which evolve as the nature of disputes presented to courts change.
For example, the judicial approach to landowner rights to divert surface waters has changed significantly in the last century as public attitudes about land and water have evolved.
Key directives include the Urban Waste Water Directive 1992 (requiring most towns and cities to treat their wastewater to specified standards), and the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC, which requires water resource plans based on river basins, including public participation based on Aarhus Convention principles.
He attended piano lessons given privately by Alessandro Longo, and harmony and composition respectively under Camillo de Nardis (1857–1951) and Paolo Serrao at the conservatory San Pietro a Majella in Naples.
From 1918 he was Director of the Conservatory of Bologna, from 1923 Director of the Turin Conservatory, and from 1947 to 1950 Director of the Rossini Conservatory in Pesaro.
It had its Italian version premiere in Rome in January 1936, and its French version premiere in Paris four months later.
It was recently revived by the Kiel Opera (Germany), the Montpellier Radio Festival (France) and the Metropolitan Opera, New York City, starring Plácido Domingo in the title role.
National Australia Bank (abbreviated NAB, branded nab) is one of the four largest financial institutions in Australia in terms of market capitalisation, earnings and customers.
NAB was ranked 21st largest bank in the world measured by market capitalisation and 50th largest bank in the world as measured by total assets in 2014, falling to 49th largest in March 2016.
National Australia Bank was formed as National Commercial Banking Corporation of Australia Limited in 1982 by the merger of National Bank of Australasia and the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney.
Representative offices were established in Beijing (1982), Chicago (branch 1982), Dallas (1983), Seoul (1983, upgraded to a branch in 1990), San Francisco (1984), Kuala Lumpur (1984), Athens (1984, closed 1989), Frankfurt (1985, closed 1992), Atlanta (1986), Bangkok (1986), Taipei (1986 upgraded to branch 1990), Shanghai (1988, closed 1990), Houston (1989) and New Delhi (1989).
It rebranded Northern Bank branches in the Republic of Ireland to National Irish Bank and changed both banks' logos from that of the Midland Bank.
Further acquisitions followed – Bank of New Zealand in 1992, which at the time had about a 26% market share in the New Zealand market, and Michigan National Bank (MNB) in 1995.
NAB had earlier rationalised its operations in the US and closed its offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and San Francisco in 1991.
This period of rapid expansion through acquisition concluded with the purchases in 1997 of HomeSide Lending, a leading US mortgage originator and servicer based in Florida, and most significantly, the acquisition in 2000 of MLC Limited (and related MLC entities) for $4.56bn, one of the biggest mergers in Australian corporate history.
In 2000, NAB sold Michigan National Bank to ABN AMRO, then in 2001 sold HomeSide's operating assets for US$1.9b to Washington Mutual, the largest US savings and loan company, as well as the mortgage unit's loan-servicing technology and operating platform.
The resignations were preceded by a Board revolt where Catherine Walters emerged as a whistle blower citing serious culture issues at the company having led to the string of failures.
The Australian economic environment during his leadership was stable and productive after 17 consecutive years of economic growth since 1992, averaging 3.3 per cent per annum.
Stewart proceeded with a far reaching re-organisation of the company along regional lines leading to the appointment of Ahmed Fahour as the CEO of Australia in September 2004.
In 2005, NAB announced a cut of 2,000 Australian jobs as part of a global cost-cutting program with the intention of cutting around 4,200 positions – about 10.5% of its total workforce globally.
It began to outsource back office positions offshore, beginning with a pilot with 23 jobs from the accounts payable department in Melbourne going to Bangalore, India in an agreement with Accenture.
By 2006, NAB had turned its fortunes around, reporting an industry record $4.3 billion profit and winning two local Bank of the Year awards.
It also had a major reform which included the refurbishment of all of its branches, and the replacement of signage in and around National branches and buildings, being changed from 'National' to 'nab'.
In May 2007 NAB announced that it would delist from the New York Stock Exchange, and this took place in August 2007.
In March 2008 NAB announced that it would send maintenance and support for some core banking applications to India through an offshoring arrangement with Infosys and Satyam, affecting another 260 employees.
On 25 July 2008, NAB's announcement of an additional A$830 million provision associated with deterioration in US real estate markets triggered the biggest single-day fall in its share price in 21 years, wiping over A$7 billion from the stock's value.
In October 2008, NAB launched a branchless direct bank trading separately as UBank under the leadership of Greg Sutherland and Gerd Schenkel.
In January 2009, Cameron Clyne became CEO, and began a strategy of reputation change, wealth management and a focus on domestic markets.
As part of this strategy, NAB's underweight retail bank – under the leadership of Lisa Gray – attempted to increase market share by competing on price and cutting fees.
Initially denting earnings in the division, the strategy produced mixed results over the medium term, with cash earnings, market share and customer satisfaction rising, but operating margin and cost to income ratio worsening since it began in 2009.
In 2009, NAB acquired the mortgage business of Challenger Financial Services for $385 million, in order to boost its market share in the broker channel.
The first time, in April 2010, was because the regulator believed that the merger would cause a substantial lessening of competition in the retail investment platform market.
NAB subsequently lodged a revised bid which aimed to address these concerns however, was rejected a second time in September of that year.
NAB's poor 2012 financial results, however, called its strategy into question: net profit dropped by 22% compared to the previous year.
As part of a strategy to focus NAB on its domestic markets, the bank listed its US subsidiary Great Western Bank subsidiary on the New York Stock Exchange in October 2014 as part of an initial public offering.
In May 2015, NAB also confirmed it would demerge its Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank business in the UK, through an initial public offering.
The business was partially floated on the London Stock Exchange and Australian Securities Exchange under a new holding company, CYBG plc, in February 2016, with the remaining shares distributed to NAB's shareholders.
This issue has been dubbed by some commentators as one of the biggest failures in the history of the Australian banking system.
In 2009, NAB became the largest Fairtrade accredited workplace in Australia through purchasing Fairtrade tea, coffee and hot chocolate for their offices and retail branches.
In March 2010 NAB stated it expected to save nearly $1 million in annual power costs from a $6.5 million tri-generation plant at its main data centre.
It supports Auskick, an initiative to improve young footballers, as well as the NAB Cup (an Australian Football League pre-season competition), the NAB AFL Rising Star award; and the AFL National Draft.
Other significant sporting sponsorships included the Socceroos, the 2006 Commonwealth Games, and was the main shirt sponsor of the South Sydney Rabbitohs between 2008 and 2010.
In recent years, NAB has provided financial support and relief to drought affected farmers and helped in the clean-up of flood affected in Queensland and Victoria.
NAB has also sponsored the Sheikh Fehmi El-Imam Scholarship, designed to help strengthen the links between NAB and the Muslim community and enables an undergraduate student to continue post-graduate studies in finance and economics.
In 2004, NAB discovered that as a result of unauthorised spot trades on its foreign currency options desk, losses totalling A$360 million had been covered up.
The losses were a result of a failed speculative position where the traders falsified profits to trigger bonuses over a number of years.
In order to actually generate the reported profits, the traders speculated on the US dollar, betting that it would rise against the Australian dollar and other currencies.
In 2006, two former NAB foreign currency options traders were sentenced on charges brought by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and incurred jail terms.
Acting on a customer complaint, an Australian Securities & Investment Commission (ASIC) investigation found that between 1997 and 2001, a NAB financial products seller, Paul Drakos, working out of a northern Sydney branch at Hornsby made recommendations to a number of NAB clients, mostly retirees, to invest in BSI Corp, an entity based in the Bahamas which was not a NAB approved investment product.
According to ASIC, at least $6.2m was subsequently transferred from the overseas accounts in the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic back to a private company account, held for Strategic Investments Group ACN 080 924 036 and controlled by a single director, the same Paul Drakos.
Funds were then applied from this account as loans disguised as investments to a number of failed business opportunities among his familial associates including a golf driving range on the Central Coast of NSW, a plumbing business, and futures and commodities trading.
The NAB employee was not officially connected with BSI but gave instructions to agents based in Canada to arrange for the transfer of funds back to Strategic Investments Group and other accounts.
On 29 May 2006 the NAB employee pleaded guilty to 8 counts of dishonestly obtaining a financial advantage by deception, 2 counts of fraudulent misappropriation and 3 counts of making and using false documents.
There is also a connection, not yet pursued by ASIC, to the collapse of the Allco HIT Ltd and Strategic Finances where it is suspected that the swampland was used to underpin financial dealings.
During the time of the investigations the NAB provided the perpetrator of the fraud with a loan of $350,000 secured by swampland on the Central Coast of NSW.
The Irish subsidiary of the bank, National Irish Bank was the subject of a six-year Inquiry carried out by Inspectors appointed by the Irish High Court.
The Director of Corporate Enforcement subsequently applied to the High Court to have 9 senior managers barred from being an officer of any company.
First, in July 2001, NAB had a $450 million write down of the value of its capitalised mortgage servicing rights (CMSRs) during the quarter ending 30 June 2001, and was the result of exceptionally high mortgage refinance volumes which lowered the value of the CMSRs, combined with a more challenging capital markets environment in which to hedge interest rate risk.
This was followed shortly by a second write-down reported in September totalling $1.75 billion; this second write-down consisted of US$400 million from an incorrect interest rate assumption embedded in the mortgage servicing rights valuation model, US$760 million from changed assumptions in the model flowing from the continued unprecedented uncertainty and turbulence in the mortgage servicing market, and US$590 million from writing off of the goodwill.
As a result of all these events, NAB's Australian shareholders attempted to sue it in the United States for securities fraud, even though the plaintiffs, the defendant, and the actual securities at issue (NAB's shares) were all located in Australia.
It has been estimated that since 2008, NAB has loaned A$11.2 billion to the fossil fuel industry in Australia, positioning itself as the 3rd largest lender in this regard.
Comparatively, loans to renewable energy are estimated at A$2.2 billion over the same period, or approximately 20% of the amount to fossil fuels.
The Big Four Australian banks, of which NAB is part, are estimated to have provided approximately one third of all loans to the fossil fuel industry in Australia since 2008.
Concerns that this finance is significant to Australia's contribution to global warming has led to various responses from the Australian community.
Shareholders of the bank engage NAB, often at the annual general meeting, asking for greater emissions disclosure and reduced finance for fossil fuels.
In early September 2015, reports circulated that NAB had ruled out finance for the proposed Adani Carmichael coal mine, which would be the largest coal mine in Australia and one of the largest in the world.
A royal commission was established on in December 2017 to inquire into and report on misconduct in the banking, superannuation, and financial services industry.
A subsequent parliamentary inquiry recommended a royal commission, noting the lack of regulatory intervention by the relevant government authorities,and later revelations that financial institutions were involved in money laundering for drug syndicates, turned a blind eye to terrorism financing, and ignored statutory reporting responsibilities and impropriety in foreign exchange trading.
By its own admission, NAB executives told the Royal Commission that the customers may have not received any service, in spite of being charge a fee.
The following month ASIC commenced civil proceedings in the Federal Court alleging that NAB-owned superannuation entities had deducted $100 million in fees from more than 300,000 customers where services were not provided.
Days earlier, NAB Chairman and former Secretary of The Treasury Ken Henry defensively appeared before the Royal Commission, with some tense exchanges between Henry and legal counsel Rowena Orr.
He was a gas balloon enthusiast, which caused his death at the age of 41 when he crashed in his balloon in Silesia.
Abegg received his PhD on July 19, 1891 as the student of August Wilhelm von Hofmann at the University of Berlin.
Abegg learned organic chemistry from Hofmann, but one year after finishing his PhD degree he began researching physical chemistry while studying with Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald in Leipzig, Germany.
Abegg later served as private assistant to Walther Nernst at the University of Göttingen and to Svante Arrhenius at the University of Stockholm.
Abegg discovered the theory of freezing-point depression and anticipated Gilbert Newton Lewis's octet rule by revealing that the lowest and highest oxidation states of elements often differ by eight.
He researched many topics in physical chemistry, including freezing points, the dielectric constant of ice, osmotic pressures, oxidation potentials, and complex ions.
After attending Wilhelm High School in Berlin, Abegg studied organic chemistry at the University of Kiel and the University of Tübingen.
He then attended the University of Berlin, from which he received his doctorate as the student of August Wilhelm von Hofmann.
In 1894, Abegg worked as an assistant to Walther Nernst, one of the founders of physical chemistry and, at the time, Professor of Physical Chemistry.
He found that some elements were less likely to combine into molecules, and from this concluded that the more stable elements had what are now called full electron shells.
He found that the sum of these two valences always comes to eight, a rule that is now known as Abegg's rule.
Aired in early 2000, the program was a fresh concept to audiences, attracting high ratings and much attention in the media.
The judges consisted of radio broadcaster Jackie O, Warner Music executive Chris Moss, and Grant Thomas Management manager Michael Napthali (who would manage the group's career).
After numerous elimination rounds, Chantelle Barry, Belinda Chapple, Sophie Monk, Sally Polihronas and Katie Underwood were chosen and given tickets to fly to Sydney to record their debut single, and the girls moved in together.
She stated that she accidentally kept Monk's weekly money allowance with the intention of giving it back to her, but forgot to do this and was therefore removed from the group.
The program followed the group during its recording sessions, photo and music video shoots and other promotional commitments such as showcases and instores.
Airing prior to the first season of Australian Idol, the show was considered a unique and fresh format at the time, and attracted on average, more than 2.6 million viewers per episode, making it one of the most successful, highest-rating programs of 2000.
The album would go on to sell over double platinum copies and was the 20th highest selling album in Australia for 2000.
The album debuted at number 16 on the ARIA album charts and was certified gold status, but continued to drop in the weeks following, only spending seven weeks in the Top 100.
In March, the girls embarked on their second national tour with Australian boy band Human Nature, playing sell-out shows in theatres across the country.
In early April, the group travelled to Malaysia where they performed at the International Indian Film Academy Awards, followed by a tour of India.
Belinda Chapple, Sophie Monk, Sally Polihronas and Tiffany Wood have cited the need for a well earned break following what has been a phenomenal 2.5 year explosion on the Australian music scene.
Bardot performed a farewell show at Channel V – their last public performance – in front of dozens of screaming fans and it proved to be highly emotional for both fans and the band members.
While trying to introduce their final song for the night, Wood broke into tears, unable to sing her verses, and handed her microphone to the audience.
The decision to break up came as a surprise to many in the industry who believed Bardot was in the process of establishing a strong and credible reputation.
Sophie and I both knew that we were going to fulfil the last album and then move on, but Sophie stayed with the management, and continued on.
Soon after Bardot's split, Wood confirmed that at the time, both she and Chapple were the two members keen to continue as Bardot.
All members, apart from Polihronas, have launched into solo music careers with varying levels of success (see Solo releases), as well as other fields such as acting and fashion.
The Air Force gained its first combat aircraft when 12 Jet Provosts with a close air support capability were delivered in 1962.
In the 1960s Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and People's Republic of China started supplying the Sudanese Air Force with aircraft.
The air force flies a mixture of transport planes, fighter jets and helicopters sourced from places including the European Union, Russia, China and the United States.
However, the rebel Justice and Equality Movement claimed to have shot down one MiG-29 with large-caliber machine-gun fire on 10 May 2008, killing the pilot of the plane, a retired Russian Air Force fighter pilot; the Sudanese government denied the allegation.
In August 2013, pictures showed Su-24's in Sudanese colors, reporting that the aircraft were among the ex Belarusian Air Force Su-24's retired in 2012.
Previous aircraft operated by the Air Force included the Northrop F-5 (12), BAC Jet Provost (20), Percival Pembroke (3), Douglas C-47, Shenyang J-6, MBB Bo 105, and the Agusta-Bell 212 helicopter.
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) is a statutory authority of the Australian Government and the prudential regulator of the Australian financial services industry.
APRA oversees banks, credit unions, building societies, friendly societies, general insurance, health insurance, reinsurance, and life insurance companies, and most members of the superannuation industry.
It ensures that these institutions keep their financial promises; that is, that they will remain financially sound and able to meet their obligations to depositors, fund members and policy holders.
The Insurance and Superannuation Commission (ISC) was formally established on 23 November 1987, following the proclamation of the Insurance and Superannuation Commissioner Act 1987.
At the time, the regulators of the Australian financial services industry were based on the institutions and not the regulatory function.
APRA's predecessor regulators were the Insurance and Superannuation Commission, the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Australian Financial Institutions Commission (AFIC).
The role of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) was amended to deal with monetary policy and systemic stability with the Payments System Board considering payments systems regulation.
The role of the Australian Prudential Regulation Commission (later to become APRA) was amended to deal with prudential regulation of authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs), life and general insurance, and superannuation including Industry superannuation.
The Corporations and Financial Services Commission was renamed and its role expanded as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) to deal with market integrity, consumer protection and corporations.
APRA became prominent in the collapse of HIH Insurance in 2001 and for its investigation into the National Australia Bank foreign currency deal scandal in 2004.
In 2018 Peter Harris, the chair of the Productivity Commission, was critical of the role of APRA in limiting price competition in banking.
In 2018 APRA created the restricted authorised deposit-taking institution (RADI) licensing framework to encourage new entrants and competition to the existing banking system.
He also wrote and performed in various KMFDM side projects, including two albums with Sascha Konietzko's Excessive Force and a solo album by En Esch.
After KMFDM disbanded in 1999, Schulz and Esch recorded a few songs for tribute albums and then formed Slick Idiot, a band featuring Schulz's trademark guitar and Esch's vocal stylings.
Schulz is interested in photography and took many of the band portraits that appear in KMFDM and Slick Idiot liner notes.
Although the first governing body of the sport was founded in 1911, FFA in its current form was only established in 1963 as the Australian Soccer Federation.
FFA oversees the men's, women's, youth, Paralympic, beach and futsal national teams in Australia, the national coaching programs and the state governing bodies for the sport.
FFA made the decision to leave the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC), for which it was a founding member, and become a member of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) on 1 January 2006 and ASEAN Football Federation (AFF).
This body was then superseded by the Australian Soccer Football Association, which was formed in 1921, with its headquarters in Sydney.
The Australian Soccer Football Association operated for forty years, was given FIFA provisional membership in November 1954 and this was confirmed in June 1956, however in 1960, the association disbanded after being suspended from FIFA for the poaching of players from overseas.
However, this association was refused re-admittance to FIFA until outstanding fines had been paid, which was later done in 1963, seeing the new national body admitted to FIFA.
Isolated from international football, Australia repeatedly applied to join the Asian Football Confederation in 1960, and in 1974 but were denied in all requests.
In 2003, following Australia's failure to qualify for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, allegations of fraud and mismanagement were levelled at Soccer Australia by elements within the Australian Press including the ABC.
Soccer Australia commissioned an independent inquiry known as the Crawford Report as a result of the Australian Government's threat to withdraw funding to the sport.
The findings of the report were critically analysed by the board of Soccer Australia who believed that the recommendations contained therein were not capable of being implemented.
The report recommended, among other things, the reconstitution of the governing body with an interim board headed by prominent businessman Frank Lowy.
Some three months after Lowy's appointment Soccer Australia was placed into liquidation and Australia Soccer Association (ASA) was created without encompassing the Crawford Report recommendations and effectively disenfranchising all parties who had an interest in Soccer Australia.
The move was unanimously endorsed by the AFC Executive Committee on 23 March 2005, and assented by the OFC on 17 April.
FFA hoped that the move would give Australia a fairer chance of qualifying for the FIFA World Cup and allow A-League clubs to compete in the AFC Champions League, thereby improving the standard of Australian football at both international and club levels with improved competition in the region.
In February 2008, FFA formally announced their intention to bid for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, 2022 FIFA World Cup and the 2015 AFC Asian Cup.
In 2010, the decision was made by FFA to withdraw its World Cup bid for 2018, instead focusing on a bid for the 2022 tournament.
FFA failed in its $45.6 million bid for the 2022 World Cup having received only one vote from the FIFA Executive.
In 2013, Australia was admitted as a full member to the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF), after they formally joined as an invite affiliation to the regional body in 2006.
In November 2018 with numerous board positions coming to the end of their 3 year term, the bulk of the board of directors were replaced at an annual general meeting, as well as the departure of Steven Lowy as chair of the board, which he did in protest at major changes to the governance and voting structure in the overarching FFA Congress that elects the FFA Board.
Soccer in Australian has used a federated model of national, states and territories governing bodies since the first state body was established in New South Wales in 1882.
Local associations and regional zones were set up within the states and territories as soccer expanded and from time to time informal groups of clubs have augmented the formal structures.
Today, there is one national governing body, nine state and territory member federations and over 100 district, regional and local zones and associations.
AC believed that the copyrights to the original character and stories had lapsed and were now in the public domain, but DC Comics asserted that it owned the rights to the character.
After a near-fatal injury, she was rescued by the great wizard Azagoth who gave her mystical powers (including the ability to become a giantess).
From then onwards she became Nightveil, a being of almost limitless power who combats supernatural villains like The Shroud and the Great God Capricorn.
She has said, however, that even if she had been invited, she would not have been able to make the trip from Texas.
The town and the paper industry have both grown by the Valkeakoski rapids between the lake Mallasvesi in the north and the lake Vanajavesi in the south.
The channel of Valkeakoski was opened in 1869, and the first paper mill was completed in 1873, marking the beginning of a continuing tradition of the forest industry.
The series focuses chiefly on two rival teams: the New Mutants, whose mentor is Danielle Moonstar, and the Hellions, whose mentor is Emma Frost.
At least 45 depowered students were killed and, of the remaining students, Emma Frost picked a select group to train as New X-Men.
As time progressed, several members were added and/or earned the right to be on the team, such as Anole, Armor, Gentle, Pixie and Prodigy.
The rest of the students were instructed to remain on school grounds, some providing assistance to the current X-Men teams and trainees.
Some M-day survivors and depowered students either left the mansion or were killed off during villainous attacks by Stryker and his men, or various other enemies.
Written by Marc Guggenheim and pencilled by Yanick Paquette, it featured a line-up of Blindfold, Dust, Rockslide, Wolf Cub and three new characters: Graymalkin, Ink, and in the second issue, Cipher.
The first arc involved the group being formed by Donald Pierce, who thanks to changes inflicted upon him by the Purifiers, impersonates Cyclops as part of an elaborate plot to kill the young mutants who he sees are the last generation of mutants born prior to M-Day.
In the end, per Blindfold's prediction at the start of the series, Donald Pierce murders Wolf Cub before being captured by the group and taken into custody by the X-Men.
The series is ultimately canceled with issue #12 and many events of the series (such as Dust being mortally wounded during the team's fight with the New Mutants) would be ignored by later writers.
The group has also accepted non-mutant members, such as Broo (a young Brood hatchling who is a pacifist) and Kid Gladiator, the son of X-Men enemy Gladiator.
Another member of the student body is Kid Omega, whose involvement with the school is involuntary in an effort to reform him.
Skylon is a series of designs for a single-stage-to-orbit spaceplane by the British company Reaction Engines Limited (REL), using SABRE, a combined-cycle, air-breathing rocket propulsion system.
The vehicle design is for a hydrogen-fuelled aircraft that would take off from a purpose-built runway, and accelerate to Mach 5.4 at altitude (compared to typical airliners' ) using the atmosphere's oxygen before switching the engines to use the internal liquid oxygen (LOX) supply to take it into orbit.
The relatively light vehicle would then re-enter the atmosphere and land on a runway, being protected from the conditions of re-entry by a ceramic composite skin.
When on the ground, it would undergo inspection and necessary maintenance, with a turnaround time of approximately two days, and be able to complete at least 200 orbital flights per vehicle.
As work on the project has progressed, information has been published on a number of design versions, including A4, C1, C2, and D1.
Testing of the key technologies was successfully completed in November 2012, allowing Skylon's design to advance from its research phase to a development phase.
, an engine test facility was being built at Westcott and if all goes to plan, the first ground-based engine tests could happen in 2020, and SABRE engines could be performing uncrewed test flights by 2025.
In paper studies, the cost per kilogram of payload carried to LEO in this way is hoped to be reduced from the current £1,108/kg (), including research and development, to around £650/kg, with costs expected to fall much more over time after initial expenditures have amortised.
For the first couple of decades the work was privately funded, with public funding beginning in 2009 through a European Space Agency (ESA) contract.
The British government pledged £60 million to the project on 16 July 2013 to allow a prototype of the SABRE engine to be built, contracts for this funding were signed in 2015.
In 1982, when work commenced on the HOTOL by several British companies, there was significant international interest to develop and produce viable reusable launch systems, perhaps the most high-profile of these being the NASA-operated Space Shuttle.
In conjunction with British Aerospace and Rolls-Royce, a promising design emerged to which the British government contributed £2 million towards its refinement; British engineer Alan Bond was amongst the engineers who worked on HOTOL.
Following the setback of HOTOL's cancellation, in 1989 Alan Bond, along with John Scott-Scott and Richard Varvill decided to establish their own company, Reaction Engines Limited, to pursue the development of a viable spaceplane and associated technology using private funding.
Skylon was a clean sheet redesign based on lessons learned during development of HOTOL, the new concept again utilised dual-mode propulsion system, using engines that could combust hydrogen with the external air during atmospheric flight.
Early on, Skylon was promoted by the company to the ESA for its Future European Space Transportation Investigations Programme (FESTIP) initiative, as well as seeking out both government or commercial investment in order to finance the vehicle's development.
REL has also sought to form ties with other companies with the aim of producing an international consortium of interested firms to participate in the Skylon programme.
Whereas HOTOL would have launched from a rocket sled as a weight-saving measure, Skylon is to be equipped with conventional retractable undercarriage.
The rear mounted engine of HOTOL meant that the vehicle possessed intrinsically poor in-flight stability; early attempts to resolve this problem had ended up sacrificing much of HOTOL's payload potential, which in turn contributed to the failure of the overall project.
Skylon's solution to the issue was to position its engines at the end of its wings, which located them further forward and much closer to the vehicle's longitudinal centre of mass, thereby resolving the instability problem.
REL intends ultimately to operate as a for-profit commercial enterprise which, upon the completion of development, shall manufacture Skylon vehicles for multiple international customers who shall operate their fleets directly, while being provided with support from REL.
According to the company, its business plan is to sell vehicles for $1 billion each, for which it has forecast a market for at least 30 Skylons, while recurring costs of just $10 million per flight are predicted to be incurred by operators.
While the REL intends to manufacture some components directly, such as the engine precooler, other components have been designed by partner companies and a consortium of various aerospace firms is expected to handle full production of Skylon.
In service, Skylon could potentially lower the cost of launching satellites which, according to evidence submitted to the UK parliament by REL, is forecast to be around £650/kg; as of 2011, the average launch cost using conventional methods was estimated to be roughly £15,000/kg.
REL has also completed internal studies into the use of Skylon as a launch platform for a network of space-based solar power satellites, which have been historically unfeasible due to high launch costs.
Speaking in June 2011, REL estimated that it would require ultimately $12 billion to achieve an operational configuration, which was then estimated to be achieved around 2020, dependent on funding.
During 2000, REL issued an ultimately unsuccessful request for funding from the British government; according to the government, REL's proposal had involved an offer of a potentially large return on its investment.
During February 2009, following on from a series of extended discussions with the British National Space Centre (which later became the UK Space Agency), it was announced that a major funding agreement had been established between the British National Space Centre, ESA and REL, committing €1 million ($1.28 million) for the purpose of producing a demonstration engine for the Skylon programme by 2011.
The 2009 agreement allowed REL to involve several external companies, including EADS-owned Astrium, the University of Bristol and the German Aerospace Center (DLR), in further development work.
As a consequence of the enactment of the Technology Demonstration Programme, REL was able to transition from a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 2/3 up to 4/5 within a matter of months.
By 2012, according to the UK Space Agency, the funding required to develop and construct the entire craft has not yet been secured; as such, research and development work was at that point mainly focused on the engines alone, which was supported by an ESA grant of €1 million.
In June 2013, George Osborne, previously the Chancellor of the Exchequer, stated that the British government would be giving £60 million towards the further development of the SABRE engine.
In October 2015, British defence conglomerate BAE Systems entered into an agreement with Reaction Engines, under which it would invest £20.6 million in REL to acquire 20% of its share capital, as well as to provide assistance in the development of the SABRE engine.
On 25 September 2017 it was announced that the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) had awarded a contract to Reaction Engines for an undisclosed amount to conduct high-temperature airflow testing at a Colorado, United States site of a Reaction Engines precooler called HTX.
In April 2018, Reaction Engines announced Boeing and Rolls-Royce would be joining BAE Systems as investors in the development of the SABRE engine.
A total of $37.5 million of new funding is to be provided including contributions from Baillie Gifford Asset Management and Woodford Investment Management.
From 2007 to 2009 REL worked with University of Bristol and Airborne Engineering on Project STERN (Static Test Expansion/Deflection Rocket Nozzle), which tested REL's engine ignition system, a REL designed air breathing hydrogen rocket engine, and investigated the flow stability and behaviour of with Dr Neil Taylor's expansion deflection nozzle design via multiple test-firings by Airborne Engineering.
An expansion deflection nozzle is capable of compensating for the changing ambient pressure encountered while gaining altitude during atmospheric flight, thus generating greater thrust and thereby efficiency.
Work on STERN was continued in project STRICT (Static Test Rocket Incorporating Cooled Thrust-chamber), which investigated the stability of the engine's exhaust flow and the dissipation of the generated heat into the engine walls.
Static testing of the engine precooler began in June 2011, marking the start of Phase 3 in the Skylon development programme, In April 2012, REL announced that the first series of the precooler test programme had been successfully completed.
On 10 July 2012, REL announced that the second of three series of tests has been completed successfully, and the final series of tests would begin the following month after the testing facilities had been upgraded to allow testing of temperatures.
On 9 May 2011, REL stated that a preproduction prototype of the Skylon could be flying by 2016, and the proposed route would be a suborbital flight between the Guiana Space Centre near Kourou in French Guiana and the North European Aerospace Test Range, located in northern Sweden.
On 8 December 2011, Alan Bond stated that Skylon would enter into service by 2021–2022 instead of 2020 as previously envisaged.
In November 2012, REL announced that it would commence work upon a three-and-a-half-year project to develop and build a test rig of the Sabre engine to prove its performance across both the air-breathing and rocket modes.
The Skylon is a fully reusable single stage to orbit (SSTO) vehicle, able to achieve orbit without staging, which is intended to be used principally as a reusable launch system.
Proponents of the SSTO approach have often claimed that staging involves a number of inherent complications and problems due to complexity, such as being difficult or typically impossible to recover and reuse most elements, thus unavoidably incurring great expense to produce entirely new launch vehicles instead; therefore, they believe that SSTO designs hold the promise of providing a reduction to the high cost of space flights.
It is designed to be comparable with current payload dimensions, and able to support the containerisation of payloads that Reaction Engines envisions being produced in the future.
Using interchangeable payload containers, Skylon could be fitted to carry satellites or fluid cargo into orbit, or, in a specialised habitation module, the latter being capable of housing a maximum of 30 astronauts during a single launch.
Because the SABRE engine uses the atmosphere as reaction mass at low altitude, it will have a high specific impulse (around for SABRE 4, or for SABRE 3), and burn about one fifth of the propellant that would have been required by a conventional rocket.
The weight reduction enabled by the lower quantity of propellant needed meant that the vehicle would not require as much lift or thrust, which in turn permits the use of smaller engines and allows for the use of a conventional wing configuration.
While flying within the atmosphere, the use of wings to counteract gravity drag is more fuel-efficient than simply expelling propellant (as in a rocket), which again serves to reduce the total amount of propellant needed.
The payload fraction would be significantly greater than normal rockets and the vehicle should be fully reusable, capable of performing in excess of 200 launches.
The design of the SABRE engine has drawn heavily upon the STRICT/STERN experimental engines, sharing many features such as the propellant and the adoption of the trialled Expansion Deflection Nozzle, as well as building upon the wider field of liquid air cycle engines (LACE).
The engines are designed to operate much like a conventional jet engine to around , altitude, beyond which the air inlet closes and the engine operates as a highly efficient rocket to orbital speed.
The proposed SABRE engine is not a scramjet, but a jet engine running combined cycles of a precooled jet engine, rocket engine and ramjet.
Originally the key technology for this type of precooled jet engine did not exist, as it required a heat exchanger that was ten times lighter than the state of the art.
Operating an air-breathing jet engine at velocities of up to Mach 5.5 poses numerous engineering problems; several previous engines proposed by other designers have worked well as jet engines, but performed poorly as rockets.
This engine design aims to be a good jet engine within the atmosphere, as well as being an excellent rocket engine outside; however, the conventional problem posed by operating at Mach 5.5 has been that the air coming into the engine rapidly heats up as it is compressed into the engine; due to certain thermodynamic effects, this greatly reduces the thrust that can be produced by burning fuel.
Attempts to avoid these issues have typically resulted in the engine being much heavier (scramjets/ramjets) or has greatly reduced the thrust generated (conventional turbojets/ramjets); in either of these scenarios, the end result would be an engine that possesses a poor thrust to weight ratio at high speeds, which in turn would be too heavy to assist much in reaching orbit.
The SABRE engine design aims to avoid the historic weight-performance issue by using some of the liquid hydrogen fuel to cool helium within a closed-cycle precooler, which quickly reduces the temperature of the air at the inlet.
Once the helium has left the pre-cooler it is further heated by the products of the pre-burner giving it enough energy to drive the turbine and the liquid hydrogen pump.
As a consequence of the air being cooled at all speeds, the jet can be built of light alloys and the weight is roughly halved.
Beyond Mach 5.5, the air would normally become unusably hot despite the cooling; accordingly, the air inlet is closed upon attaining this speed and the engine instead is solely fed via on-board liquid oxygen and hydrogen fuel, as in a traditional rocket.
The fuselage of the Skylon is expected to be a silicon carbide reinforced titanium space frame; a light and strong structure that supports the weight of the aluminium fuel tanks and to which the ceramic skin is attached.
Multiple layers of titanium foil thermal insulation are sandwiched between the skin and frame to protect the inside of Skylon from the heat of hypersonic flight and the intense heat of re-entry.
Due to the vehicle's use of a low-density fuel in the form of liquid hydrogen, a great volume is required to contain enough energy to reach orbit.
The propellant is intended to be kept at low pressure to minimise stress; a vehicle that is both large and light has an advantage during atmospheric reentry compared to other vehicles due to a low ballistic coefficient.
Because of the low ballistic coefficient, Skylon would be slowed at higher altitudes where the air is thinner; as a consequence, the skin of the vehicle would reach only .
In contrast, the smaller Space Shuttle was heated to on its leading edge, and so employed an extremely heat-resistant but fragile silica thermal protection system.
The Skylon design does not require such an approach, instead opting for using a far thinner yet durable reinforced ceramic skin; however, due to turbulent flow around the wings during re-entry, some sections of the vehicle shall need to be provided with active cooling systems.
The Skylon shall possess a retractable undercarriage, equipped with high pressure tyres and water-cooled brakes; if any difficulties were to occur just before a take-off, the brakes would be applied to stop the vehicle, the water boiling away to dissipate the heat.
During a normal landing, the empty vehicle would be far lighter, and hence the water would not be required, so upon a successful take-off, the of water would be jettisoned.
When this feature was introduced in the C1 model of the design the weight of the brakes was reduced from around .
When on the ground, it would undergo inspection and necessary maintenance, with a turnaround time of approximately two days, and be able to complete at least 200 orbital flights per vehicle.
The Shin Meiwa PS-1 and US-1A () is a large STOL aircraft designed for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and air-sea rescue (SAR) work respectively by Japanese aircraft manufacturer Shin Meiwa.
The PS-1 anti-submarine warfare (ASW) variant is a flying boat which carried its own beaching gear on board, while the search-and-rescue (SAR) orientated US-1A is a true amphibian.
The company, believing that their design was capable of regular use upon the open sea, petitioned the Japanese military to acquire the type as a maritime patrol aircraft (MPA).
Following the demonstration of a converted Grumman HU-16 Albatross testbed aircraft, referred to as the UF-XS, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) awarded Shin Meiwa a contract in 1966 to further develop its design via two further prototypes, which were designated PS-X.
During 1969, the JMSDF placed the first order for an eventual fleet of 21 ASW aircraft, designated PS-1; orders for the SAR variant, designated US-1A, were also issued during the 1970s.
Shin Meiwa were keen to develop additional variants and derivative aircraft, including substantially lager designs which they had studied, but many of these ambitions remained as paper projects only.
During the 1980s, the JMSDF decided to adopt land-based Lockheed P-3 Orions, displacing the PS-1s from the ASW role and leading to the variant's retirement during 1989.
Following the withdrawal of the last active US-1A in 2017, the type has been replaced by the ShinMaywa US-2, a modernised variant.
Following the end of the Second World War and the start of the Occupation of Japan, a ban on aircraft manufacturing imposed during December 1945 required Japan's aircraft industry to find other work.
During the 1950s, the emergence of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union led to the aircraft construction ban being rescinded; Shin Meiwa, which had turned to heavy machinery and engine manufacturing for the intervening years, decided to resurrect their old aircraft works.
Initially, the company focused on smaller efforts, such as subcontracting work, the production of drop tanks, and performing airframe overhauls of both Japanese and American aircraft, such as the US Navy's Martin P5M Marlin flying boats.
However, senior figures, such as chief aircraft designer Shizo Kikuhara and founder Ryuzo Kawanishi were keen to pursue projects of a greater scope.
During the early 1950s, Kawanishi had formed a committee headed by Kikuhara which was tasked with developing seaplane designs that would feature greater seaworthiness.
Unlike most seaplanes, they held the ambitious aim of producing an aircraft that could land upon rough seas and encounter little impact from waves and spray.
Two years later Kikuhara, who now headed up the company's Amphibian Development Division, was lobbying the Japanese Defense Agency to consider the adoption of a flying boat to meet the nation's requirement for a anti-submarine warfare (ASW) patrol aircraft.
Crucial support came from the US Navy, who were keen to see Japan's ASW capabilities expand to help track and contain the growing Soviet submarine presence in the Pacific.
The converted flying boat featured numerous adaptations, including a novel boundary layer control system to provide enhanced Short Takeoff/Landing (STOL) performance, while the Albatross's two Wright R-1820 radial engines were supplemented by two Pratt & Whitney R-1340 radial engines on the aircraft's wings, with an additional General Electric T58 turboshaft inside the aircraft's hull to drive the boundary layer control system.
The UF-XS also featured a new T-tail arrangement, hull-based deflectors, and a rounded stubby nose, the latter of which resembled that of the P5M Marlin.
From 1962 onwards, the UF-XS performed numerous test flights, demonstrating the improved features which enabled a flying boat to both land and take-off from the open ocean; these tests were closely followed and critiqued by the Japanese military.
In addition to Shin Meiwa, other Japanese companies, such as Fuji Heavy Industries and NIPPI Corporation, also played major roles in the PS-X's development.
The adaptions resulted in significant seaworthiness improvements; during tests conducted in the Kii Channel during 1968, the PS-X successfully landed amid formidable four-meter waves, despite these being in excess of its design goal of three meters.
The capability of contemporary sonar units meant that it was impossible to track submerged vessels while airborne; instead, a submarine hunter would have to land to use a dipping sonar or deploy a sonobuoy.
The programme soon became politically controversial as its relatively small production run had resulted in an extremely high unit-cost for these aircraft, largely due to the inherent costs involved in the development of brand new aircraft designs.
For its part, Shin Meiwa made efforts to commercialise design elements of the aircraft, such as its hydraulics and engine control systems; it successfully exported its roll dampening technology to multiple aircraft companies.
By deleting much of the PS-1's military equipment, room was freed up to provide the aircraft with a greater fuel capacity, workable landing gear, and rescue equipment.
The US-1A was Japan's first amphibian, being capable of being used upon both the land and sea, which meant that it could transfer survivors to land facilities via ambulance more quickly.
First flown on October 15, 1974, it was accepted into service during the following year, and eventually 19 aircraft were purchased.
From the seventh aircraft on, an uprated version of the original engine was used, all aircraft were eventually modified to this US-1A standard.
During the 1990s, by which point the US-1A fleet was beginning to show its age, the JMSDF attempted to obtain funding towards acquiring a replacement, but could not secure enough to develop an entirely new aircraft.
This aircraft features numerous aerodynamic refinements and modernised systems, along with a pressurised hull, and the adoption of more powerful Rolls-Royce AE 2100 engines.
In 1977, Shin Meiwa revealed that it had several ideas for its STOL flying boat concept on the drawing board, but ultimately none of these were ever built.
Unlike the Shin Meiwa LA and MA which were like the US-1 in design, the Shin Meiwa MS and GS had their engines located in front of and above the wing to take advantage of the Coandă effect.
Between 1971 and 1978, the JMSDF inducted a total of 21 PS-1 flying boats; starting in 1973, these were operated as Fleet Air Wing 31.
The PS-1 ASW variant carried homing torpedoes, depth charges and 127mm Zuni rockets as offensive armament, but lacked any defensive weapons.
It was equipped with dipping sonar, which had limited use as it required the aircraft to land on water to deploy.
On a typical ASW mission, a PS-1 would range over hundreds of square miles of ocean, landing between 12 and 16 times to dip its sonar.
The type was capable of numerous feats, such as being able to routinely land in seas with waves of up to in height.
Apart from the boundary layer control system, which was powered by an independent gas turbine housed within the fuselage, the aircraft had a number of other innovative features, including a system to suppress spray during water handling, and directing the propwash from the aircraft's four turboprop engines over its wings to create yet more lift.
During 1976, a single PS-1 was experimentally modified to perform aerial firefighting missions; it possessed an internal capacity of of water.
During the 1980s, the JMSDF decided to replace the PS-1 in the ASW role with land-based Lockheed P-3 Orions; the last examples of the ASW variant were phased out of service in 1989.
Despite having been envisioned largely to perform air-sea rescues of military personnel, the US-1A has mostly been involved in civilian assistance operations.
Between 1976 and 1999, Japan's US-1A fleet has reported been used in over 500 rescues and were responsible for the saving of 550 lives.
According to aviation periodical Air International, a total of 827 people have been rescued by US-1s since the type had entered service during 1976.
Genetic sexual attraction is a concept in which a strong sexual attraction may develop between close blood relatives who first meet as adults.
She developed sexual feelings for her son when she met him after he was adopted away, but he did not want to be part of any such contact.
Because many traits are at least partially determined by genetics, genetic sexual attraction is presumed, according to those who believe in the concept, to occur as a consequence of genetic relatives meeting as adults, typically as a consequence of adoption.
Incest is extremely rare between people raised together in early childhood due to a reverse sexual imprinting known as the Westermarck effect, which desensitizes them to later close sexual attraction.
Although reported frequently as anecdote in the field of psychology, there are no studies showing that people are sexually attracted to those genetically similar to them.
While it has been documented that sexual attraction can occur between related individuals in some cases, it is not clear that calling this attraction GSA is appropriate.
She also expressed that many news outlets have handled reports of the subject poorly by repeating what the defenders of the hypothesis have said as opposed to actually looking into the research on the supposed phenomenon.
Macriani is the name of three Roman usurpers - a father and two sons - who tried to gain the Roman throne from Emperor Gallienus.
Written in time, the danzón is a slow, formal partner dance, requiring set footwork around syncopated beats, and incorporating elegant pauses while the couples stand listening to virtuoso instrumental passages, as characteristically played by a charanga or tipica ensemble.
The contradanza, which had English and French roots in the country dance and contredanse, was probably introduced to Cuba by the Spanish, who ruled the island for almost four centuries (1511–1898), contributing many thousands of immigrants.
It may also have been partially seeded during the short-lived British occupation of Havana in 1762, and Haitian refugees fleeing the island's revolution of 1791–1804 brought the French-Haitian kontradans, contributing their own Creole syncopation.
In Cuba, the dances of European origin acquired new stylistic features derived from African rhythm and dance to produce a genuine fusion of European and African influences.
Danzón went on to interact with 20th-century Cuban genres such as son, and through the danzón-mambo it was instrumental in the development of mambo and cha-cha-chá.
This style of danzón was performed at carnival comparsas by black groups: it is described that way before the late 1870s.
The dancers do not dance during these sections: they choose partners, stroll onto the dance floor, and begin to dance at precisely the same moment: the fourth beat of bar four of the paseo, which has a distinctive percussion pattern that's hard to miss.
When the introduction is repeated the dancers stop, chat, flirt, greet their friends, and start again, right on time as the paseo finishes.
They had several brass instruments (cornet, valve trombone, ophicleide), a clarinet or two, a violin or two and tympani (kettle drums).
Charanga and típicas competed with each other for years, but after 1930 it was clear that the days of the típica were over.
Similar to other dances in the Caribbean and Latin America, the danzón was initially regarded as scandalous, especially when it began to be danced by all classes of society.
The slower rhythm of the danzón led to couples dancing closer, with sinuous movements of the hips and a lower centre of gravity.
The author of a survey of prostitution in Havana devoted a whole chapter to the iniquities of dancing, and the danzón in particular.
The danzón became hugely popular, and was the dominant popular music in Cuba until the advent of the son in the 1920s.
This was a swinging section, consisting of a repeated musical phrase, which introduced something of the son into the danzón (a tactic which was to recur again).
From the 1940s to the 1960s danzón and its derivatives were highly popular in Cuba, with several truly fine charangas playing most days of the week.
Orquesta Aragón kept up an exceptionally high standard for many years, but the danzón itself gradually dropped out, and is now a relic dance.
Danzón has never ceased to influence Cuban musicians, and it is reflected in many popular Cuban music genres, in Cuban Latin jazz, salsa, songo and timba, the latter building upon the charanga orchestration.
Their make-up and orchestration (by Juan Formell) has been so greatly altered that it is difficult to identify traces of danzón; indeed, their present styles owe more to son than to danzón.
Danzón was also very popular in the Gulf Coast state of Veracruz, Mexico, because of the strong Cuban influence in the region.
Danzón also flourished in the city of Oaxaca, and many famous danzones were composed by Oaxacan musicians such as the famous Nereidas and Teléfono de larga distancia, both works of Amador Pérez Dimas, from the town of Zaachila, near Oaxaca city.
Today, people still dance danzón in Mexico, particularly in the main plazas of Veracruz, Oaxaca and Mexico City, and in yearly festivals across Mexico.
The danzón was the first written music to be based on the organizing principle of sub-Saharan African rhythm, known in Cuba as clave.
A danzón-chá or danzón-mambo typically add another part (D), a syncopated open vamp in which soloists may sometimes improvise, creating an ABACD or, more common, ABACAD.
The Torres Strait Islands are a group of at least 274 small islands which lie in Torres Strait, the waterway separating far northern continental Australia's Cape York Peninsula and the island of New Guinea.
Lieutenant James Cook first claimed British sovereignty over the eastern part of Australia at Possession Island in 1770; however British administrative control only began in the Torres Strait Islands in 1862.
The islands are now mostly part of Queensland, a constituent State of the Commonwealth of Australia, but they are administered by the Torres Strait Regional Authority, a statutory authority of the Australian federal government.
A few islands very close to the coast of mainland New Guinea belong to the Western Province of Papua New Guinea, most importantly Daru Island with the provincial capital, Daru.
The population of the Torres Strait Islands was recorded at 4,514 in the 2016 Australian census, with 91.8% of these identifying as Indigenous Torres Strait Islander people.
Although counted as Indigenous peoples of Australia, Torres Strait Islander people, being predominantly Melanesian, are ethnically, culturally and linguistically different from Aboriginal Australians.
The Indigenous inhabitants of the Torres Strait Islands are the Torres Strait Islanders, an ethnically Melanesian people who also inhabited the northern tip of Cape York Peninsula and who are ethnically and linguistically distinct from the Australian Aboriginals.
British administrative control began in the Torres Strait Islands in 1862, with the appointment of John Jardine, police magistrate at Rockhampton, as Government Resident in the Torres Straits.
Yumplatok (also known as Torres Strait Creole and Broken) is a contemporary Torres Strait Island language spoken in the Torres Strait.
The contact with missionaries and others since the 1800s has led to the development of a pidgin language, which transitioned into a creole language and now has its own distinctive sound system, grammar, vocabulary, usage and meaning.
Torres Strait Creole is spoken by most Torres Strait Islanders and is a mixture of Standard Australian English and traditional languages.
Torres Strait Creole is also spoken on the Australian mainland, including Northern Peninsula Area Region and coastal communities such as Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton and Brisbane.
In 1872 the boundary of Queensland was extended to include Thursday Island and other islands in Torres Strait within 60 miles of the Queensland coast.
They thus became part of the British colony of Queensland and (after 1901) of the Australian state of Queensland - although some of them lie just off the coast of New Guinea.
He also established Native Police but the only island on which the Native Police were armed was Saibai where they were provided with Snider carbines to repel the attacks of the Tugeri, the headhunters who raided the islands from the New Guinea coast.
In 1898–1899 the Cambridge Anthropological Expedition led by Alfred Cort Haddon visited the Torres Strait Islands, and collected and took about 2000 cultural artefacts, ostensibly to save them from destruction by missionaries.
However, a process of electing island councils had been initiated in 1899 by John Douglas, aimed at loosening the stranglehold of the missionaries.
From 1960 to 1973 Margaret Lawrie captured some of the Torres Strait Islander people's culture by recording the retelling of local myths and legends.
Her anthropological work, stored at the State Library of Queensland, has recently been recognised and registered with the Australian UNESCO Memory of the World Programme.
The proximity of the islands to Papua New Guinea became an issue when it started moving towards independence from Australia, which it gained in 1975.
The Papua New Guinea government objected to the position of the border close to the New Guinean mainland and the subsequent complete Australian control over the waters of the strait.
The Australian Federal government wished to cede the northern islands to appease Papua New Guinea, but were opposed by the Queensland government and Queensland Premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen.
Eventually an agreement was struck whereby the islands and their inhabitants remained Australian, but the maritime boundary between Australia and Papua New Guinea runs through the centre of the strait.
In 1982, Eddie Mabo and four other Torres Strait Islanders from Mer (Murray Island) started legal proceedings to establish their traditional land-ownership.
In 1992, after ten years of hearings before the Queensland Supreme Court and the High Court of Australia, the latter court found that Mer people had owned their land prior to annexation by Queensland.
In March 2008 fifteen Torres Strait Islander Councils were amalgamated into a single body to form a Torres Strait Island Regional Council, or Torres Strait Island Region, created by the Queensland Government in the interest of financial viability, and accountability and transparency of local Governments throughout the State.
It is administered from Thursday Island, but Thursday, Horn Island, Prince of Wales Island and many others are under the Shire of Torres council.
The strait from Cape York to New Guinea has a width of approximately at its narrowest point; the islands lie scattered in between, extending some from furthest east to furthest west.
The Torres Strait itself was previously a land bridge which connected the present-day Australian continent with New Guinea (in a single landmass called Sahul, Meganesia, Australia-New Guinea).
This land bridge was most recently submerged by rising sea levels at the end of the last ice-age glaciation approximately 12,000 years ago, forming the Strait which now connects the Arafura and Coral seas.
Many of the western Torres Strait Islands are the remaining peaks of this land bridge which were not completely submerged when the ocean levels rose.
The islands and their surrounding waters and reefs provide a highly diverse set of land and marine ecosystems, with niches for many rare or unique species.
Marine animals of the islands include dugongs (an endangered species of sea mammal widely found throughout the Indian Ocean and tropical Western Pacific, including Papua-New Guinean and Australian waters), as well as green, ridley, hawksbill and flatback sea turtles.
The Torres Strait Islands may be grouped into five distinct clusters, which exhibit differences of geology and formation as well as location.
The Torres Strait provides a habitat for numerous birds, including the Torresian imperial-pigeon, which is seen as the iconic national emblem to the islanders.
These islands are also a distinct physiographic section of the larger Cape York Platform province, which in turn is part of the larger East Australian Cordillera physiographic division.
The islands in this cluster lie very close to the southwestern coastline of New Guinea (the closest is less than offshore).
Saibai (one of the largest of the Torres Strait Islands) and Boigu (one of the Talbot Islands) are low-lying islands which were formed by deposition of sediments and mud from New Guinean rivers into the Strait accumulating on decayed coral platforms.
The other main island in this group, Dauan (Mt Cornwallis), is a smaller island with steep hills, composed largely of granite.
This island actually represents the northernmost extent of the Great Dividing Range, the extensive series of mountain ranges which runs along almost the entire eastern coastline of Australia.
The islands in this cluster lie south of the Strait's midway point, and are also largely high granite hills with mounds of basaltic outcrops, formed from old peaks of the now submerged land bridge.
Moa (Banks Island) is the second-largest in the Torres Strait, and Badu (Mulgrave Island) is slightly smaller and fringed with extensive mangrove swamps.
Culturally this was the most complex part of Torres Strait, containing three of the four groupings/dialects of the Western-central Islanders, Nagi being culturally/linguistically a Central Island (Kulkalaig territory, specifically part of Waraber tribal waters), Moa is part of the Muwalaig-Italaig-Kaiwalaig [Kauraraig/Kaurareg] tribal areas, with two groups, the Italaig of the south, and the Muwalaig of the north.
These islands, also known as the Thursday Island group, lie closest to Cape York Peninsula, and their topography and geological history is very similar.
Muralag (Prince of Wales Island) is the largest of the Strait's islands, and forms the centre of this closely grouped cluster.
Several of these islands have permanent freshwater springs, and some were also mined for gold in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Nurupai Horn Island holds the region's airport, and as a result is something of an entrepôt with inhabitants drawn from many other communities.
Kiriri (Hammond Island) is the other permanently settled island of this group; Tuined (Possession Island) is noted for Lt. James Cook's landing there in 1770.
This cluster is more widely distributed in the middle of Torres Strait, consisting of many small sandy cays surrounded by coral reefs, similar to those found in the nearby Great Barrier Reef.
The more northerly islands in this group however, such as Gerbar (Two Brothers) and Iama (Yam Island), are high basaltic outcrops, not cays.
The low-lying inhabited coral cays, such as Poruma (Coconut Island), Warraber Island and Masig (Yorke Island) are mostly less than long, and no wider than .
The islands of this group (principally Mer (Murray Island), Dauar and Waier, with Erub Island and Stephens Island (Ugar) further north) are formed differently from the rest.
The TSRA has an elected board comprising 20 representatives from the Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal communities resident in the Torres Strait region.
The TSRA itself falls under the portfolio responsibilities of the Australian Government Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (previously under the Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs).
The TSRA now represents the local communities at both Commonwealth and State levels; previously, State representation operated via a Queensland statutory authority called the Island Coordinating Council (ICC).
In March 2008 fifteen Torres Strait Islander Councils were amalgamated into a single body to form a Torres Strait Island Regional Council, or Torres Strait Island Region, created by the Queensland Government in the interest of financial viability, and accountability and transparency of local Governments throughout the State.
It is administered from Thursday Island, but Thursday, Horn Island, Prince of Wales Island and many others are under the Shire of Torres council.
One is the Shire of Torres, which governs several islands and portions of Cape York Peninsula and operates as a Queensland local government area.
Torres Strait Islanders, the Indigenous peoples of the islands, are predominantly Melanesians, culturally most akin to the coastal peoples of Papua New Guinea.
Thus they are regarded as being distinct from Aboriginal peoples of Australia, and are generally referred to separately, despite ongoing historical trade and inter-marriage with mainland Aboriginal people.
According to the 2016 Australian census figures, the population of the Torres Strait Islands was 4,514, of whom 4,144 (91.8%) were Torres Strait Islanders.
According to the Torres Strait Treaty, residents of Papua New Guinea are permitted to visit the Torres Strait Islands for traditional purposes.
The two indigenous languages are the Western-Central Torres Strait Language (called by various names, including Kalaw Lagaw Ya, Kalaw Kawaw Ya, Kulkalgau Ya and Kaiwaligau Ya), and the Eastern Torres Language Meriam Mir.
Another language, Torres Strait Creole, also known as Brokan and Yumplatok, is used throughout Torres Strait, in neighbouring Papua as far as the West Papuan border area, and Cape York, as well as in many island communities in mainland Australia.
The Torres Strait Islands are threatened by rising sea levels, especially those islands which do not rise more than above sea level.
The banana plant leaf disease black sigatoka, the major banana disease worldwide, is endemic to Papua New Guinea and the Torres Strait Islands.
The introduction of Christianity through the London Missionary Society, beginning in 1871, had a profound influence, but before that time the musical culture reflected the cultural and geographic diversity of the Strait.
Like many other thrushes, they forage on leaf litter below forest undergrowth and fly into trees when disturbed and sit still making them difficult to locate.
Mostly black on the upper parts it has a long white supercilium, and white tips to the wing coverts, tertials, rump and tail.
Females and young birds have the same basic pattern, but the black is replaced by dark brown, and the white by light brown.
The bill is not as strongly curved as that of the dark-sided thrush or the long-billed thrush and the female lacks the prominent pale cheek spot of the similar looking female Siberian thrush.
Ward who worked in the Madras Civil Service, posted for sometime at Sirsi and was known for his natural history studies and artistic talent.
Although rare, they are locally and seasonally seen regularly at certain locations in winter such as at Victoria Park in Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka, where a number of birds gather by the stream early in the morning or in some hills stations in southern India such as Nandi Hills and Yercaud.
They forage alone or in pairs, often seen on the ground but flying into the trees and perching still when disturbed.
The breeding season is May to July and the nest is a deep cup lined with grass and cemented with mud and placed in a low tree fork.
Their song is not considered as musical as those of many others thrushes and consists of a series of squeaky notes followed by short trills.
It argues that affluent persons are morally obligated to donate far more resources to humanitarian causes than is considered normal in Western cultures.
The essay was inspired by the starvation of Bangladesh Liberation War refugees, and uses their situation as an example, although Singer's argument is general in scope and not limited to the example of Bangladesh.
One of the core arguments of this essay is that, if one can use one's wealth to reduce suffering—for example, by aiding famine-relief efforts—without any significant reduction in the well-being of oneself or others, it is immoral not to do so.
It makes no difference whether the person I can help is a neighbor's child ten yards away from me or a Bengali whose name I shall never know, ten thousand miles away.
From the moral point of view, the prevention of the starvation of millions of people outside our society must be considered at least as pressing as the upholding of property norms within our society.
The affluent, says Singer, are consistently guilty of failing to recognize this, having large amounts of surplus wealth that they do not use to aid humanitarian projects in developing nations.
The drowning child analogy featured in the paper formed the basis of choral music that has been performed by Södra Latin Chamber Choir (conducted by Jan Risberg) and Choate Chamber Chorus.
June Palmer began work as a topless dancer at the Windmill Theatre in London, and started modelling professionally in the late-1950s.
Although she stopped modelling for magazines in 1970, Palmer continued to do some private modelling for London's various camera clubs until 1987.
In the 1960s they had started and run Strobe Studios in Clapham, South London, an LCC licensed model agency and photographic studio, which advertised in many of the photographic magazines such as Practical Photography.
Strobe rented out their studio space to amateur and professional photographers, and provided them with the glamour models who were on Strobe’s books as photographic subjects.
Mary Millington (at that time using her married name Mary Maxted), Carole Augustine and Ava Cadell all worked as models for Strobe Studios in the early 1970s.
It is situated on Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and its picturesque cliffs, including Beer Head, form part of the South West Coast Path.
Beer is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, at which time it was located within Colyton hundred and had 28 households.
It is a pretty coastal village that grew up around a smugglers' cove and caves which were once used to store contraband goods.
The shape of the coastline allowed local seafarers to operate in weather conditions when other towns could not, because it is protected from the prevailing westerly winds by Beer Head and the chalk cliffs which are the westernmost outcrop of limestone on the southwest coast.
Beer is also the home of the Pecorama (run by the Peco model railway manufacturer), which includes pleasure gardens and the Beer Heights Light Railway.
This stone has been prized since Roman times, because of its workability for carving and for its gentle yellow colour on exposure to air.
Beer stone was used in the construction of 24 cathedrals around the UK, including Exeter Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral, and was also used in the building of Christchurch Cathedral, St.Louis.
Starre House, the oldest house in Beer is built using the local Beer stone that has been quarried since Roman times.
The Beer microbes were placed on the European Space Agency's (ESA) Technology Exposure Facility and were sent up still sitting on, and in, small chunks of cliff rock from the Jurassic Coast.
This was part of an experiment to study the survival of microbes (which naturally live on the stone) in extreme conditions.
A new species of cyanobacteria was isolated at the Open University that could be used in future space settlements on the Moon and Mars to produce oxygen and break down rocks.
Jason Loewenstein (born July 20, 1971) is an American alternative rock singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and a member of the indie-rock bands Sebadoh, The Fiery Furnaces, and Circle of Buzzards.
The touring band for that record included Bob D'Amico, who would later join Jason in playing with the Fiery Furnaces in addition to forming Circle of Buzzards with him in 2008, as well as eventually joining Sebadoh when they reformed in 2011.
In late 2016 it was announced that Jason would be releasing a new solo record on Joyful Noise Recordings titled Spooky Action.
The album was promoted partly through a tour of small DIY house shows throughout the South and the Midwest with a backing band featuring Bob D'Amico and Matthew Friedberger, which were incredible.
From August 2005 to the present, Jason has performed and recorded with the Brooklyn-based band The Fiery Furnaces, playing bass and guitar.
ENSAE Paris (officially École nationale de la statistique et de l'administration économique Paris) is a French grande école of engineering and a member of ParisTech (Paris Institute of Technology).
It is one of France's top schools of economics, statistics, data science and machine learning and is directly attached to France's Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques (INSEE) and the French Ministry of Economy and Finance.
Students are given a proficient training both in economics and statistics and they can specialize in macroeconomics, microeconomics, statistics or finance.
The ENSAE was established in 1942 under the National Statistics Service (ancestor of the INSEE, National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies) under the name of the School of Applied Statistics.
The decree of 2 November 1960 changed the name of the school into the National School of Statistics and Economic Administration.
The decree of 15 April 1971 clarified the administrative status and the objective of the school in the academic field, definitely making the ENSAE a Grande Ecole.
In 2006, Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin announced officially the moving of the school to the new ParisTech Campus in Palaiseau, near the École Polytechnique in 2010.
Included in the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) under the tutelage of Ministry of the Economy, Industry and Employment, ENSAE provides training for statisticians-economists, some of which are civil servants belonging to the Corps des Administrateurs de l'INSEE, a category of top level public managers in the French administration.
Economists and statisticians trained are intended to contribute to the economic research; former students hold positions within international organizations (UN, IMF, World Bank, European Commission,…) and French administration or other public institutions (Ministry of Economy, INSEE, CREST,…).
The school has several partnerships and agreements with other academic institutions where students can complete their curriculum during their specialization year.
A large and growing number of students chose to do such dual degree program in order to get an additional Master of Science, MBA or PhD degree from renowned institutions in the area of economics, finance, statistics and applied Mathematics where its cursus is one of the best: Harvard, Columbia, Humboldt University of Berlin, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, etc.
The ENSAE also has a partnership with Sciences Po Paris, allowing its students to pursue both curriculum at the same time and get an additional master's degree from Sciences Po.
ENSAE is member of ParisTech, the excellence engineering cluster gathering the best parisian Grandes Ecoles in each area of engineering: X, AgroParisTech, ENGREF, Ponts, ESPCI, Mines, ENSTA, ENSAM, Télécom Paris, Chimie ParisTech.
Former ENSAE graduates work mainly in Data Science and Machine learning, but also in finance, management, consulting, economic analysis and research (in economics and statistics).
About 10% of the recent alumni work in the public sector, the remaining works in capital markets (25%), insurance (25%), consulting (15%) or other industry sectors.
They are hired by tech firms, financial firms such as banks, insurers or hedge funds for their technical expertise in Data Science, Machine learning, finance, mathematics, economics and statistics.
He graduated from a local gymnasium and in 1910 he was accepted as a student of the faculty of economy of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków.
However, the death of his father and the poor financial situation of his family forced him to abandon his studies and return to Stanislau.
After the outbreak of World War I he fought with his unit against the Imperial Russian Army in the battles of Rzeszów, Dukla Pass and Gorlice.
In November 1918, after Poland regained its independence Sosabowski volunteered for the newly formed Polish Army, but his wounds were still not healed and he was rejected as a front-line officer.
After the Polish-Soviet War Sosabowski was promoted to Major and in 1922 he started his studies at the Higher Military School in Warsaw.
Promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, in 1928 he was finally assigned to a front-line unit, the 75th Infantry Regiment, as commanding officer of a battalion.
In 1937 Sosabowski was promoted to colonel and became the commanding officer of the 9th Polish Legions Infantry Regiment stationed in Zamość.
Shortly before the German invasion of Poland started his unit was moved from its garrison in the Warsaw Citadel to the area of Ciechanów, where it was planned as a strategic reserve of the Modlin Army.
On 2 September the division was moved towards Mława and in the early morning of the following day it entered combat in the Battle of Mława.
Although the 21st Regiment managed to capture Przasnysz and its secondary objectives, the rest of the division was surrounded by the Wehrmacht and destroyed.
The routed 8th Division was being reconstructed, but the 21st Regiment was attached to the corps led by general Juliusz Zulauf.
Instantly upon arrival, Sosabowski was ordered to man the Grochów and the Kamionek defensive area and defend Praga, the eastern borough of Warsaw, against the German 10th Infantry Division.
When the general assault on Praga started on 16 September, the 21st Infantry Regiment managed to repel the attacks of German 23rd Infantry Regiment and then successfully counter-attacked and destroyed the enemy unit.
Despite constant bombardment and German attacks repeated every day, Sosabowski managed to hold his objectives at relatively low cost in manpower.
On 26 September 1939, the forces led by Sosabowski bloodily repelled the last German attack, but two days later Warsaw capitulated.
On 29 September, shortly before the Polish forces left Warsaw for German captivity, General Juliusz Rómmel awarded Col. Sosabowski and the whole 21st Infantry Regiment with the Virtuti Militari medal.
After a long trip through Hungary and Romania, he arrived in Paris, where the Polish government in exile assigned him to the Polish 4th Infantry Division as the commanding officer of infantry.
In April 1940, the division was moved to a training camp in Parthenay and was finally handed the weapons awaited since January, but it was already too late to organise the division.
On 19 June 1940, Sosabowski with approximately 6,000 Polish soldiers arrived at La Pallice, whence they were evacuated to Great Britain.
Upon his arrival in London, Sosabowski turned up at the Polish General Staff and was assigned to 4th Rifles Brigade that was to become a core of the future 4th Infantry Division.
The unit was to be composed mainly of Polish Canadians, but it soon became apparent that there were not enough young Poles in Canada from which to create a division.
In September 1943, Lieutenant-General Frederick Browning proposed that Sosabowski reform his unit into a division and fill the remaining posts with British troops.
The Brigade requested to be dropped by parachute into Warsaw to aid their comrades from the underground Polish Home Army, who were fighting a desperate battle against overwhelming odds.
However, the distance was too great for the transport aircraft to make a round trip and access to Soviet airfields was denied.
Finally, Polish Commander in Chief Kazimierz Sosnkowski put the Brigade under British command, and the plan to send it to Warsaw was abandoned.
It was not until after the war that General Sosabowski learnt that his son, , a medic and member of the Kedyw, had sustained injuries during the uprising.
Among Sosabowski's concerns were the poorly conceived drop zones at Arnhem, the long distances between the landing zones and Arnhem Bridge and that the area would contain a greater German presence than British intelligence believed.
Despite Sosabowski's concerns, which were echoed by many Allied commanders, along with warnings from the Dutch Resistance that two SS Panzer Division were in the operations area, Market Garden proceeded as planned.
A small part of the brigade with Sosabowski was parachuted near Driel on 19 September, but the rest of the brigade arrived only on 21 September at the distant town of Grave, falling directly on the waiting guns of the Germans camped in the area.
The brigade's artillery was dropped with the British 1st Airborne Division, commanded by Major-General Roy Urquhart, while the howitzers were to arrive by sea, which prevented the brigade from being deployed effectively.
Unfortunately, the ferry they hoped to use had been disabled and the Poles attempted the river crossing in small rubber boats came under heavy fire.
He proposed that the combined forces of XXX Corps, under Lieutenant-General Brian Horrocks, and the 1st Polish Parachute Brigade should start an all-out assault on the German positions and try to break through the Rhine.
This plan was not accepted, and during the last phase of the battle, on 25 and 26 September, Sosabowski led his men southwards, shielding the retreat of the remnants of the 1st Airborne Division.
Like many other Polish wartime officers and soldiers who were unable to return to Communist Poland he settled in West London.
In The Hague, on 31 May 2006, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands awarded the Military Order of William to the 1st Independent Polish Parachute Brigade.
In part this was the result of a Dutch TV documentary depicting the brigade as having played a far more significant role in Market Garden than had been hitherto acknowledged.
In this film by Geertjan Lassche, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands said the Poles deserved to be honoured with at least a medal.
The following day, on 1 June, a ceremony was held at Driel, the town where the Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade fought.
In the summer of 2012 1st Airborne Major Tony Hibbert made a video appeal for Sosabowski to be pardoned and honoured.
The city is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Babur who, following a series of setbacks, finally succeeded in laying the basis for the Mughal dynasty in the Indian subcontinent and became the first Mughal emperor.
Andijan also gained notoriety in 2005 when government forces opened fire on protestors, killing hundreds in what came to be known as the Andijan Massacre.
Manufactured goods produced in the city include chemicals, domestic appliances, electronics, foodstuffs, furniture, plows, pumps, shoes, spare parts for farming machines, various engineering tools, and wheelchairs.
Andijan is one of the oldest cities in the Fergana Valley.Marhamat city of Andijan The ruins of Ershi, the capital of the Davan (Parkana) state, with more than 70 cities with a rich and dense population of the V - IV and IV centuries BC.
The city is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Babur who, following a series of setbacks, finally succeeded in laying the basis for the Mughal dynasty in the Indian Subcontinent and became the first Mughal emperor.
Andijan was the center and flashpoint of the Andijan Uprising of 1898 in which the followers of Sufi leader Madali Ishan attacked the Russian barracks in the city, killing 22 and injuring 16-20 more.
On 16 December 1902, much of the city was leveled by a severe earthquake which destroyed up to 30,000 homes in the region and killed as many as 4,500 residents.
After Soviet rule was established in Andijan in 1917, the city quickly became an important industrial city in the Uzbek SSR.
During the Soviet demarcation of Central Asia, Andijan was separated from its historical hinterland as the Ferghana Valley was divided among three separate Soviet republics.
Of the Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi-occupied Poland and banished by the Soviets to Siberia and Central Asia, some relocated to Andijan starting in 1941.
The town, and the region as a whole, suffered a severe economic decline following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.
On 13 May 2005, Uzbekistan's military opened fire on a mass of people who were protesting against poor living conditions and corrupt government.
The Uzbek government at first stated that the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan organized the unrest and that the protesters were members of Hizb ut-Tahrir.
Critics have argued that the radical Islamist label has been just a pretext for maintaining a repressive regime in the country.
The Uzbek government eventually acknowledged that poor economic conditions in the region and popular resentment played a role in the uprising.
Food: Andijan is also known with fascinating dishes, one of the most popular food is Plov also known (Osh) in the local language.
However, Andijan is also known for its dance called Andijan polka and it has been reported that this dance history goes all the way back to the old centuries.
Manufactured goods produced in the city include chemicals, domestic appliances, electronics, foodstuffs, furniture, plows, pumps, shoes, spare parts for farming machines, various engineering tools, and wheelchairs.
The city is also home to four colleges, one academic lyceum, 21 vocational schools, 47 secondary schools, three music and art schools, nine sports schools, and 86 kindergartens.
Pollard started off as a member of Louisville post-hardcore stalwarts Hedge and Out, before moving on to the energetic prog-punk of the Calf Fiends in 1996-1997.
Butler's pantries, or china pantries, were built between the dining room and kitchen of a middle class English or American home, especially in the latter part of the 19th into the early 20th centuries.
By the Victorian era, large houses and estates in Britain maintained the use of separate rooms, each one dedicated to a distinct stages of food preparation and cleanup.
Meat preparation before cooking was done in a larder (remember that often in these large houses game would come in undressed, fish unfilleted and meat in half or quarter carcasses), and vegetable cleaning and preparation would be done in the scullery.
Since the scullery was the room with running water, it had a sink, and it was where the messiest food preparation took place, such as cleaning fish and cutting raw meat.
If the pantry had a sink for washing tableware, it was a wooden sink lined with lead, to prevent chipping the china and glassware while they were washed.
The idea is very similar to that of the Hoosier cabinet, with a wide variety of functions being served by specific design innovations.
A butler's pantry or serving pantry is a utility room in a large house, primarily used to store serving items, rather than food.
Traditionally, a butler's pantry was used for cleaning, counting, and storage of silver; European butlers often slept in the pantry, as their job was to keep the silver under lock and key.
The room would be used by the butler and other domestic staff; it is often called a butler's pantry even in households where there is no butler.
In modern homes, butler's pantries are usually located in transitional spaces between kitchens and dining rooms, and used as staging areas for serving meals.
A second opening near the bottom vented also to the outside, but low near the ground and usually on the north side of the house where the air was cooler.
In the summertime, the temperatures in the cold pantry would usually hover several degrees lower than the ambient temperature in the house, while in the wintertime, the temperature in the cold pantry would be considerably lower than that in the house.
Vegetables could be brought up from the root cellar in smaller amounts and stored in the cold pantry until ready to use.
With space in the icebox at a premium, the cold pantry was a great place to store fresh berries and fruit.
First developed in the early 1900s by the Hoosier Manufacturing Company in New Castle, Indiana, and popular into the 1930s, the Hoosier cabinet and its many imitators soon became an essential fixture in American kitchens.
Chapters of earlier books, particularly written during the era of domestic science and home economics in the latter half of the 19th century, featured how to furnish, keep, and clean a pantry.
This idea did not take hold in American households until a century later, by which time the pantry had become a floor-to-ceiling cabinet in the post-War kitchen.
During the Victorian era and until the Second World War, when housing changed considerably, pantries were commonplace in virtually all American homes.
This was because kitchens were small and strictly utilitarian, and not the domestic, often well-appointed, center of the home enjoyed today or in Colonial times.
It details a working farmhouse pantry in great detail, which she sees for the first time after her marriage to Wilder and subsequent journey to their new home.
Perhaps the most famous pantry incident in literature was when Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer had to do penance for getting into his Aunt Polly's jam in her pantry: as punishment, he had to whitewash her fence.
After the demise of Zoth Ommog in 1999, Larsen signed to Bloodline Records, which only released a single before also going out of business.
(Getting Away With Murder U. S.) included two early demos from 1982 and 1984, with the latter forming the unknown beginning of the band according to an interview conducted with Claus Larsen.
In an interview conducted late 2005, Larsen revealed that label issues, as well as personal concerns, caused the dormancy of the band during the 2000 - 2005 period.
In a post to his MySpace blog made in late November 2008, Larsen announced his intention to develop a live show for a small run of exclusive engagements in 2009.
Two shows took place in Denmark in April 2009, and Leaether Strip has been confirmed to perform at the Power Strip Festival in the USA and the Amphi Festival in Germany during Summer 2009.
The release is part of an ongoing box series through which Claus Larsen will re-release his complete back-catalogue via the Belgian label Alfa Matrix.
Each re-release will have both the fully remastered version of the original album on disc 1 and on the second disc, a totally re-written and reinterpretation of some selected songs from the original album by Leaether Strip himself re-recorded with current technologies.
More frequently, Larsen explores his own personal issues in the same open fashion, resulting in many tracks that are simultaneously aggressive and introspective.
Central to the project is Ben Watkins and his collaborations with a constantly changing ensemble of musicians from across the world.
This ensemble has included Mabi Thobejane, Amampondo, Steve Stevens, Eduardo Niebla, Greg Ellis, Taz Alexander, Sugizo, Budgie and recently Hamsika Iyer and Maggie Hikri.
It had a much different sound than the previous albums, and moved away from the traditional dance beats by implementing tribal influences.
Sony Japan released the soundtrack, which was recorded at the Slovak Radio Concert Hall in Slovakia with the Slovak National Symphony Orchestra.
In recent decades, many more allotropes have been discovered and researched including ball shapes such as buckminsterfullerene and sheets such as graphene.
Around 500 hypothetical 3-periodic allotropes of carbon are known at the present time, according to the Samara Carbon Allotrope Database (SACADA).
Industrial diamonds are valued mostly for their hardness and heat conductivity, making many of the gemological characteristics of diamond, including clarity and color, mostly irrelevant.
In addition to mined diamonds, synthetic diamonds found industrial applications almost immediately after their invention in the 1950s; another 400 million carats (80 tonnes) of synthetic diamonds are produced annually for industrial use, which is nearly four times the mass of natural diamonds mined over the same period.
Most uses of diamonds in these technologies do not require large diamonds; in fact, most diamonds that are not gem-quality can find an industrial use.
Diamonds are embedded in drill tips or saw blades, or ground into a powder for use in grinding and polishing applications (due to its extraordinary hardness).
Specialized applications include use in laboratories as containment for high pressure experiments (see diamond anvil), high-performance bearings, and limited use in specialized windows of technical apparatuses.
Garnering much excitement is the possible use of diamond as a semiconductor suitable to build microchips from, or the use of diamond as a heat sink in electronics.
Significant research efforts in Japan, Europe, and the United States are under way to capitalize on the potential offered by diamond's unique material properties, combined with increased quality and quantity of supply starting to become available from synthetic diamond manufacturers.
These tetrahedrons together form a 3-dimensional network of six-membered carbon rings (similar to cyclohexane), in the chair conformation, allowing for zero bond angle strain.
In graphite, each carbon atom uses only 3 of its 4 outer energy level electrons in covalently bonding to three other carbon atoms in a plane.
Each carbon atom contributes one electron to a delocalized system of electrons that is also a part of the chemical bonding.
For this reason, graphite conducts electricity along the planes of carbon atoms, but does not conduct in a direction at right angles to the plane.
Although it might be thought that this industrially important property is due entirely to the loose interlamellar coupling between sheets in the structure, in fact in a vacuum environment (such as in technologies for use in space), graphite was found to be a very poor lubricant.
This fact led to the discovery that graphite's lubricity is due to adsorbed air and water between the layers, unlike other layered dry lubricants such as molybdenum disulfide.
When a large number of crystallographic defects (physical) bind these planes together, graphite loses its lubrication properties and becomes pyrolytic carbon, a useful material in blood-contacting implants such as prosthetic heart valves.
Natural and crystalline graphites are not often used in pure form as structural materials due to their shear-planes, brittleness and inconsistent mechanical properties.
In its pure glassy (isotropic) synthetic forms, pyrolytic graphite and carbon fiber graphite are extremely strong, heat-resistant (to 3000 °C) materials, used in reentry shields for missile nosecones, solid rocket engines, high temperature reactors, brake shoes and electric motor brushes.
AA'-graphite is an allotrope of carbon similar to graphite, but where the layers are positioned differently to each other as compared to the order in graphite.
However, they are products of pyrolysis (the process of decomposing a substance by the action of heat), which does not produce true amorphous carbon under normal conditions.
Fullerenes are positively curved molecules of varying sizes composed entirely of carbon, which take the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, or tube.
As of the early twenty-first century, the chemical and physical properties of fullerenes are still under heavy study, in both pure and applied research labs.
In April 2003, fullerenes were under study for potential medicinal use — binding specific antibiotics to the structure to target resistant bacteria and even target certain cancer cells such as melanoma.
Carbon nanotubes, also called buckytubes, are cylindrical carbon molecules with novel properties that make them potentially useful in a wide variety of applications (e.g., nano-electronics, optics, materials applications, etc.).
Whereas buckyballs are spherical in shape, a nanotube is cylindrical, with at least one end typically capped with a hemisphere of the buckyball structure.
Their name is derived from their size, since the diameter of a nanotube is on the order of a few nanometers (approximately 50,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair), while they can be up to several centimeters in length.
The geometric topology of the structure is determined by the presence of ring defects, such as heptagons and octagons, to graphene's hexagonal lattice.
A vapor of carbon-containing molecules is injected into the zeolite, where the carbon gathers on the pores' walls, creating the negative curve.
Glassy carbon or vitreous carbon is a class of non-graphitizing carbon widely used as an electrode material in electrochemistry, as well as for high-temperature crucibles and as a component of some prosthetic devices.
He had set out to develop a polymer matrix to mirror a diamond structure and discovered a resole (phenolic) resin that would, with special preparation, set without a catalyst.
The preparation of glassy carbon involves subjecting the organic precursors to a series of heat treatments at temperatures up to 3000 °C.
Unlike many non-graphitizing carbons, they are impermeable to gases and are chemically extremely inert, especially those prepared at very high temperatures.
It has been demonstrated that the rates of oxidation of certain glassy carbons in oxygen, carbon dioxide or water vapor are lower than those of any other carbon.
Thus, while normal graphite is reduced to a powder by a mixture of concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids at room temperature, glassy carbon is unaffected by such treatment, even after several months.
Carbon nanofoam is the fifth known allotrope of carbon, discovered in 1997 by Andrei V. Rode and co-workers at the Australian National University in Canberra.
Each cluster is about 6 nanometers wide and consists of about 4000 carbon atoms linked in graphite-like sheets that are given negative curvature by the inclusion of heptagons among the regular hexagonal pattern.
This is the opposite of what happens in the case of buckminsterfullerenes, in which carbon sheets are given positive curvature by the inclusion of pentagons.
The large-scale structure of carbon nanofoam is similar to that of an aerogel, but with 1% of the density of previously produced carbon aerogels – only a few times the density of air at sea level.
Carbide-derived carbon (CDC) is a family of carbon materials with different surface geometries and carbon ordering that are produced via selective removal of metals from metal carbide precursors, such as TiC, SiC, TiAlC, MoC, etc.
Depending on the synthesis method, carbide precursor, and reaction parameters, multiple carbon allotropes can be achieved, including endohedral particles composed of predominantly amorphous carbon, carbon nanotubes, epitaxial graphene, nanocrystalline diamond, onion-like carbon, and graphitic ribbons, barrels, and horns.
These structures exhibit high porosity and specific surface areas, with highly tunable pore diameters, making them promising materials for supercapacitor-based energy storage, water filtration and capacitive desalinization, catalyst support, and cytokine removal.
Lonsdaleite is a hexagonal allotrope of the carbon allotrope diamond, believed to form from graphite present in meteorites upon their impact to Earth.
Hexagonal diamond has also been synthesized in the laboratory, by compressing and heating graphite either in a static press or using explosives.
It can also be produced by the thermal decomposition of a polymer, poly(hydridocarbyne), at atmospheric pressure, under inert gas atmosphere (e.g.
The system of carbon allotropes spans an astounding range of extremes, considering that they are all merely structural formations of the same element.
Despite the hardness of diamonds, the chemical bonds that hold the carbon atoms in diamonds together are actually weaker than those that hold together graphite.
In graphite, the atoms are tightly bonded into sheets, but the sheets can slide easily over each other, making graphite soft.
The story follows the bird throughout a year during its migration to South America and return to the Canadian Arctic in search of a mate.
The book may have been somewhat premature in that there were confirmed sightings of this bird in 1963 and there were a number of unconfirmed sightings after that date.
Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari (February 25, 1925 – December 28, 2018) was a Nigerian statesman who became the first democratically elected President of Nigeria, after the handover of power by General Olusegun Obasanjo's military government.
He worked as a teacher for a brief period before entering politics in 1951 and in 1954 was elected to the federal House of Representatives.
In addition, he held the chieftaincy titles of the Ochiebuzo of Ogbaland, the Ezediale of Aboucha and the Baba Korede of Ado Ekiti.
However, due to traditional rites that prevented rulers from participating in business, Aliyu relinquished some of his trading interest when he became the Magaji.
Shagari started his education in a Quranic school and then went to live with relatives at a nearby town, where from 1931-1935 he attended Yabo elementary school.
Shehu Usman Shagari entered politics in 1951, when he became the secretary of the Northern People’s Congress in Sokoto, Nigeria, a position he held until 1956.
In 1954, Shehu Shagari was elected into his first public office as a member of the federal House of Representative for Sokoto west.
In 1958, Shagari was appointed as parliamentary secretary (he left the post in 1959) to the Nigerian Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and that year he also served as the Federal Minister for commerce and Industries.
Following the Nigerian civil war, from 1970 to 1971, Shagari was appointed by the military head of state General Yakubu Gowon as the federal commissioner for economic development, rehabilitation and reconstruction.
During his tenure as the commissioner of finance for Nigeria, Shagari was also a governor for the World Bank and a member of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) committee of twenty.
In 1979 Shagari was chosen by the party as the presidential candidate for general election that year, which he won becoming the president and head of state of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Shagari ran for a second four-year term in 1983 and won the general election, however, on 31 December 1983, Shagari was overthrown by major general Muhammadu Buhari.
This, coupled with a decline in world oil prices, and a deterioration in the national finances, hardship, lead to the regime becoming deeply unpopular with citizens.
On December 28, 2018 at about 6:30pm, Shehu Shagari died from a brief illness at the National Hospital, Abuja where he was admitted to and undergoing treatment before his death.
It was confirmed by his grandson Bello Bala Shagari and Governor Tambuwal in similar tweets at the time of his death.
Upon completing his studies he returned to Malta in 1950 and took up the post of Managing Director of Fardex Trade Development Company (Malta) Ltd.
He entered politics in 1962, and contested the general election of that year when he was elected as Member of Parliament keeping his seat in the 1966, 1971, 1976 and 1981 elections.
Xuereb was appointed by the Prime Minister as the Acting President of the Republic, following the end of term of Office of the third President.
A bronze statue designed by late sculptor Anton Agius was erected within Howards' Gardens, just outside the Bastions of Mdina in Paul Xuereb's honour.
Cylinder 1024 is the first cylinder of a hard disk that was inaccessible in the original IBM PC compatible hardware specification, interrupt 13h, which uses cylinder-head-sector addressing.
At boot time, the BIOS of many very old PCs could only access the first 1024 cylinders, numbered 0 to 1023, as CHS addressing only defines 10 bits for the cylinder count (2^10=1024).
This was a problem for operating systems on the x86 platform as the BIOS must be able to load the bootloader and the entire kernel image into memory.
Partly because of this bug, users of the Linux operating system have traditionally created a /boot partition to reside within the first 1024 cylinders of the disk, containing little more than the kernel and bootloader.
Alfred Bathini Xuma, OLG, commonly referred to by his initials as AB Xuma (8 March 1893, Transkei – 27 January 1962), was the first black South African to become a medical doctor, as well as a leader, activist and president-general of the African National Congress (ANC) from 1940 to 1949.
Although on the left wing of the ANC, Xuma was seen during his leadership as too conservative by an increasingly impatient and activist youth, which he regarded in turn with suspicion.
Nevertheless, it was under his leadership, albeit after having been very cannily lobbied, and in spite of warnings from his colleagues that it would lead to his downfall, that the ANC in 1942 established its Youth League.
A young Nelson Mandela was among the callow buttonholers (including Walter Sisulu, Congress Mbata and William Nkomo) who in 1944 visited his home in Sophiatown to agitate for his acceptance of the league's manifesto and draft constitution.
Xuma rounded on the deputation for usurping the authority of the ANC national executive, but refrained from criticizing publicly a cause he had publicly championed.
She was the first Brazilian to appear on Forbes Magazine's list of richest artists in 1991, taking 37th place with an annual gross income of US$19 million.
Over her 30-year career, Xuxa Meneghel has sold over 50 million copies of her records worldwide, which makes her the second-highest-selling Brazilian female singer after Rita Lee.
Maria da Graça Meneghel was born in Santa Rosa, Rio Grande do Sul, to Luiz Floriano Meneghel and Alda Meneghel (née Alda Flores da Rocha).
Xuxa is of partial Italian Brazilian descent, her paternal great-grandfather had emigrated to Brazil at the end of the 1800s from the northern Italian town of Imer, in the Autonomous Province of Trento.
He opted to save his wife, and prayed to St. Mary of Graces, promising to name his daughter after the Virgin if all went well.
Although she was originally named after Saint Mary of Graces, Xuxa, the youngest member of the Meneghel family, received the nickname by which she came to be known from her brother, Bladimir.
When she was seven, she and her family moved to Rio de Janeiro where they lived in the Bento Ribeiro neighborhood.
During this time period Xuxa continued to model in Brazil and the United States for both fashion and men's magazines, such as Playboy, and began a famous love affair with Brazilian football star Pelé.
Produced by Anibal Massaini Neto by Cinearte, the plot involves an adult man's recollection of a short period in his life in 1937.
As a teenager, he visited his mother, the favorite woman of an important politician, in a bordello owned by her, right before key political changes in Brazil.
Although rather tame by today's modern standards, the movie was considered somewhat controversial by some because it contains two brief scenes of sensuality between the libertine character played by Xuxa and that of the innocent teenager.
In this period, she worked as a model during the week in New York City and was taping her show during the weekend in Brazil.
In 1986 this opportunity was expanded when she received an offer to host a national children's program through the multimedia conglomerate Globo.
In the same period, Xuxa began a love relationship with the Brazilian driver Formula 1, Ayrton Senna, who died in 1994.
Also this year by the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences of the United States to deliver the International Emmy Awards in the category of best children's program and to present one of their songs in the awards party.
The first two seasons of the show, the most popular, were produced by Argentine TV channel Telefé while the third season, in 1993, was produced independently and then sold for broadcast to El Trece.
The publication highlighted the record sales of albums of the singer, which in 1990 reached 12 million copies, and its success in the Hispanic market, where it reached 300,000 copies with their first album in Spanish.
However, it did not achieve the popularity she had enjoyed throughout Brazil, Latin America and Spain, and was cancelled after one season due to low ratings.
They reprised original episodes on a new children's block until 19 February 1996 when Xuxa stopped airing on The Family Channel.
The show was sold to a great number of countries throughout the world, including Japan, Israel, Russia, Australia, Romania and some Arab countries.
In the U.S., Sony Wonder has released two of her videos and a record that includes English translations of some of her most successful songs in Portuguese and Spanish.
The program directed by Marlene Mattos gathered pictures, jokes and musical attractions was exhibited between 4 June 1994 and 6 January 2001 on Saturday mornings of TV Globo.
The attraction was canceled abruptly due to the tragic fire that occurred in 11 January 2001 in the recording of its carnival special.
As of 19 April 1998, the program began to be presented on Sunday afternoons due to the 1998 World Cup, remaining on Sundays until its closure in 2002.
The attraction came to an end on 28 July 2002, due to the desire of Xuxa to return to the children's public and the end of the partnership with the director Marlene Mattos.
Through computer graphics capabilities, Xuxa appeared seated on a globe with a blue background filled with white clouds, and featured 14 pictures that blended entertainment and didactic elements.
The program had two distinct phases and the first was broadcast on Monday morning to the children's audience in a mix of play, dramaturgy, competition, cartoons and musical numbers presentation.
After many changes for not being able to keep the station in the isolated leadership, the program no longer aired on 31 December 2007.
The four teams disputed an X of gold, that was worth three points; an X of silver, worth two; or a bronze X, which was worth one point.
The show ceased to show cartoons, invested in jokes, and Xuxa went on to receive her guests on a stage designed for interviews and musical numbers.
The film starred Sasha Meneghel in theaters and featured the participation of Hebe Camargo, Luciano Szafir, Luciano Huck, Angelica and others.
The attraction was shown to Brazilian subscribers on every continent from Monday to Friday and shows the best moments of her career on Globo, as well as clips from XSPB.
Recorded in 2014, and expected to be released in September 2016, XPSB 13 earned Xuxa a Latin Grammy nomination, but because it was released after the deadline, it was disqualified by the Latin Recording Academy.
In September 2011, Colombian singer, Shakira, and Xuxa joined forces through their respective charitable foundations to aid children younger than six years old who live in Brazil's poorest communities.
Since May 2013, the campaign has integrated the actions of several groups: the Itaipu Dam, the International Labour Organization (ILO), the Municipal Tourism Council, Childhood and Youth, Ministry of Labor and Employment, and entities of Paraguay and Argentina who work in the same area.
In May 2014, President Dilma Rousseff signed a law that applied stronger penalties to the crime of sexual exploitation of children and adolescents.
Years later, the affair with soccer player Pelé boosted her profile and in 1982 Xuxa already was considered one of the main publicity figures of the country, announcing from underwear to residential buildings.
Also in 1982 Xuxa founded her first company, Xuxa Produções, a legal entity that takes care of the brand of Xuxa and holds, exclusively, the rights to commercialize the use of the brand and image of the artist, nationally and internationally, and represents the artist in contracts in any area.
During this time, she worked as a model during the week in New York City, and recorded the show on weekends.
However, the agency made her choose between career photos and walkways as a model or TV and Xuxa opted for the television show.
With the initial salary at Globo TV of US$40,000, Xuxa had several increases in its salary, which in 1987 had already reached one million dollars.
Until 1988, the companies of Xuxa were commanded by her father, the retired military Luís Floriano Meneghel, the mother, Alda, the brothers Cirano, Bladimir and Solange.
In 1989 Xuxa already shared with Hebe Camargo the title of highest-paid host of Latin America, receiving only in the Globe TV US$1.5 million monthly.
Also in 1989, the activities of the Xuxa Meneghel Foundation, which currently carries out four social development programs (Program for Networks and Political Incidence, Program for Socio-educational Actions, Integrated Assistance Program and the Institutional Partnerships Program) began.
In 1990 Xuxa had already reached the mark of 12 million records sold, which had generated a turnover of more than $110 million, of which 20% was destined for it.
With a total of 78,000 square meters, Xuxa traveled with the golf carts and this one was a refuge for the artist, which did not prevent that fans slept in the entrance of the site waiting for Xuxa.
In 2007, with the concern of providing a social life closer to normal to her daughter Sasha, Xuxa put the site up for sale for $8 million.
Still in 1990 Xuxa acquired an apartment of five million dollars in New York, that still forms part of the artist's patrimony and took advantage of the opening of the Brazilian market to the imported vehicles to found the Shine Car, concessionaire of imported luxury cars based in Rio de Janeiro.
With a partnership with Grendene, Xuxa sold 4 million sandals in Brazil, 1 million in the United States, 1 million in Mexico and 500 thousand in the rest of Latin America only in 1990.
She launched the Xuxa Meneghel Models Course in Rio de Janeiro, with a duration of seven months and a load of six hours a week, tuition starting from $60.
Also in 1991 Xuxa intensified the licensing of products with her brand and even sold 1.5 million sandals in the United States.
Between 1986 and 1992 Xuxa had sold 18 million discs, which had generated a revenue of over $175 million, of which 20% was destined for Xuxa.
Xuxa's Xuxa program produced four tours, including Xuxa's Xuxa 89 tour, in which Xuxa's cache was over $300,000, with a production schedule that involved ten trucks, 60 air tickets, two wagons, two 25-ton stages with more than 150 people involved.
The program was broadcast by more than 100 relays in the country, including CBS and Freeform, and was also sold to more than 120 countries.
In October, she announced that she would soon leave her career to try to be a mother through artificial insemination, which did not happen because Xuxa had to meet contractual deadlines, which did not prevent the artist from again slowing down the work pace.
In 2005 an 11-year-old girl, daughter of friends of Xuxa, passed away in the parks of Disney while it was lodged in the house of Xuxa.
In 2002 they acquired a coverage of four suites for R$13 million in São Conrado, in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
In 2012 Xuxa received R$2 million to participate in an advertising campaign of the beauty products brand Wella, changing the color of her hair, appearing brunette for the first time in her career.
In 2013 TV Bandeirantes was condemned by the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) to pay an indemnity of 1.1 million reais to the presenter.
The STJ, therefore, rejected the request of the issuer to rediscuss the amount of compensation established by the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro (TJRJ) in 2011.
In February 2015 Xuxa refused a proposal of renewal with Globo TV, since its salary would happen of a million dollars monthly, that received from 2002, to R$250 thousand, without next projects to return to present a program.
She reported in 2012, that reclusive singer Michael Jackson had once courted her, inviting her to dinner at his Neverland estate and then his manager asked whether she would consider conceive his kids.
Xuxa recorded about 915 songs, recorded 28 albums that together have sold over 45 million copies, and were awarded 400 gold records in Brazil.
According to ABPD, Xuxa had two DVDs among the top ten in 2011, XSPB Volume 1–8 (sixth place) and XSPB 11 (ninth).
Muhammadu Buhari (born 17 December 1942) is a Nigerian politician currently serving as the President of Nigeria, in office since 2015.
He is a retired major general in the Nigerian Army and previously served as the nation's head of state from 31st December, 1983 to 27th August, 1985, after taking power in a military coup d'état.
This marked the first time in the history of Nigeria that an incumbent president lost to an opposition candidate in a general election.
Buhari has stated that he takes responsibility for anything over which he presided during his military rule, and that he cannot change the past.
Muhammadu Buhari was born to a Fulani family on 17 December 1942, in Daura, Katsina State, to his father Hardo Adamu, a Fulani chief, and mother Zulaihat.
In February 1964, the college was upgraded to an officer commissioning unit of the Nigerian Army and renamed the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) (prior to 1964, the Nigerian government sent cadets who had completed their NMTC preliminary training to mostly Commonwealth military academies for officer cadet training).
In January 1963, at age 20, Buhari was commissioned a second lieutenant and appointed Platoon Commander of the Second Infantry Battalion in Abeokuta, Nigeria.
In 1964, he facilitated his military training by attending the Mechanical Transport Officer's Course at the Army Mechanical Transport School in Borden, United Kingdom.
From 1965 to 1967, Buhari served as commander of the Second Infantry Battalion and appointed brigade major, Second Sector, First Infantry Division, April 1967 to July 1967.
Other participants in the coup on 28 July 1966 included 2nd Lieutenant Sani Abacha, Lieutenant Ibrahim Babangida, Major Theophilus Danjuma, Lieutenant Ibrahim Bako among others.
The coup was a reaction to the January coup where a group of mostly Igbo officers led by Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu overthrew the democratically elected government of Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa.
Many Northern soldiers were aggrieved by the murder of senior politicians, Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, northern regional premier, Ahmadu Bello, and four senior officers from northern Nigeria: Brigadier Zakariya Maimalari, Colonel Kur Mohammed, Lt-Cols Abogo Largema and James Pam.
Among the casualties were the first military head of state General Aguiyi Ironsi and Lt Colonel Adekunle Fajuyi, the military governor of the Western Region.
Buhari was assigned to the 1st Division under the command of Lt. Col Mohammed Shuwa, the division had temporarily moved from Kaduna to Makurdi at the onset of the Nigerian Civil War.
The 1st division was divided into sectors and then battalions with Shuwa assisted by sector commanders Martin Adamu and Sule Apollo who was later replaced by Theophilus Danjuma.
The 2 battalion was one of the units that participated in the first actions of the war, they started from Gakem near Afikpo and moved towards Ogoja with support from Gado Nasko's artillery squad.
They reached and captured Ogoja within a week with the intention of advancing through the flanks to Enugu, the rebel capital.
Buhari was briefly the 2 battalion's Commander and led the battalion to Afikpo to link with the 3rd Marine Commando and advance towards Enugu through Nkalagu and Abakaliki.
However, before the move to Enugu, he was posted to Nsukka as Brigade Major of the 3rd Infantry Brigade under Joshua Gin who would later become battle fatigued and replaced by Isa Bukar.
Buhari stayed with the infantry for a few months as the Nigerian army began to adjust tactics learnt from early battle experiences.
Instead of swift advances, the new tactics involved securing and holding on to the lines of communications and using captured towns as training ground to train new recruits brought in from the army depots in Abeokuta and Zaria.
In 1968, he was posted to the 4 Sector also called the Awka sector which was charged to take over the capture of Onitsha from Division 2.
The sector's operations was within the Awka-Abagana-Onitsha region which was important to Biafran forces because it was a major source of food supply.
It was in the sector that Buhari's group suffered a lot of casualties trying to protect food supplies route of the rebels along Oji River and Abagana.
From 1974 to 1975 Buhari was Acting Director of Transport and Supply at the Nigerian Army Corps of Supply and Transport Headquarters.
Then Lieutenant Colonel Buhari was among a group of officers (led by Colonels Ibrahim Taiwo, Joseph Garba, Abdulahi Mohammed, Anthony Ochefu, Lieutenant Colonels Shehu Musa Yar'Adua, Ibrahim Babangida and Alfred Aduloju) who overthrew the Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon.
From 1 August 1975 to 3 February 1976, General Murtala Mohammed, appointed Buhari as Governor of the North-Eastern State, to oversee social, economic and political improvements in the state.
In August 1991, Yobe state was created from Borno state, while Gongola state was split into two states, Taraba and Adamawa.
In March 1976, the Head of State, General Olusegun Obasanjo, appointed Buhari as the Federal Commissioner (position now called Minister) for Petroleum and Natural Resources.
When the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation was created in 1977, Buhari was also appointed as its Chairman, a position he held until 1978.
During his tenure as Commissioner, 2.8 billion dollars allegedly went missing from the accounts of the NNPC in Midlands Bank in the United Kingdom.
However, in the conclusion of the Crude Oil Sales Tribunal of Inquiry headed by Justice Ayo Irikefe to investigate allegations of 2.8 billion Dollars misappropriation from the NNPC account, the tribunal found no truth in the allegations even though it noticed some lapses in the NNPC accounts.
During Buhari's tenure as the Federal Commissioner for Petroleum and Natural Resources, the government invested in pipelines and petroleum storage infrastructures.
The government built about 21 petroleum storage depots all over the country from Lagos to Maidugiuri and from Calabar to Gusau; the administration constructed a pipeline network that connected Bonny terminal and the Port Harcourt refinery to the depots.
Also, the administration signed the contract for the construction of a refinery in Kaduna and an oil pipeline that will connect the Escravos oil terminal to Warri Refinery and the proposed Kaduna refinery.
From 1978 to 1979, he was Military Secretary at the Army Headquarters and was a member of the Supreme Military Council from 1978 to 1979.
From 1979 to 1980, at the rank of colonel, Buhari (class of 1980) attended the US Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in the United States, and gained a Masters Degree in Strategic Studies.
Upon completion of the on-campus full-time resident program lasting ten months and the two-year-long, distance learning program, the United States Army War College (USAWC) college awards its graduate officers a master's degree in Strategic Studies.
In 1983, when Chadian forces invaded Nigeria in the Borno State, Buhari used the forces under his command to chase them out of the country, crossing into Chadian territory in spite of an order given by President Shagari to withdraw.
Major-General Buhari was one of the leaders of the military coup of December 1983 that overthrew the democratically elected government of President Shehu Shagari.
With the successful execution of the coup by General Buhari, Tunde Idiagbon was appointed Chief of General Staff (the de facto No.
Buhari justified the military's seizure of power by castigating the civilian government as hopelessly corrupt and promptly suspended Nigeria's 1979 Constitution.
Sani Abacha in the military's first broadcast after the coup linked ' an inept and corrupt leadership' with general economic decline.
In Buhari's New Year day speech, he too mentioned the corrupt class of the Second republic but also as the cause of a general decline in morality in the society.
The structure of the new military leadership which was also the fifth in Nigeria since independence resembled the last military regime, the Obasanjo/Yaradua administration.
The number of ministries was trimmed to 18 while the administration carried out a retrenchment exercise among the senior ranks of the civil service and police.
These laws included the Robbery and Firearms (Special Provisions) Decree for the prosecution of armed robbery cases, the State Security (Detention of Person) Decree which gave powers to the military to detain individuals suspected of jeopardizing state security or causing economic adversity.
Other decrees included the Civil Service Commission and Public Offenders Decree which constituted the legal and administrative basis to conduct a purge in the civil service.
In order to reform the economy, as Head of State, Buhari started to rebuild the nation's social-political and economic systems, along the realities of Nigeria's austere economic conditions.
The rebuilding included removing or cutting back the excesses in national expenditure, obliterating or removing completely, corruption from the nation's social ethics, shifting from mainly public sector employment to self-employment.
However, tightening of imports led to reduction in raw materials for industries causing many industries to operate below capacity, reduction of workers and in some cases business closure.
Buhari's economic policies did not earn him the legitimacy of the masses due to the rise in inflation and the use of military might to continue to push many policies blamed for the rise in food prices.
In January 1984, in his new year broadcast speech, Buhari stated that he would maintain and enhance diplomatic relations with all countries and international organisations such as the OAU, UN, OPEC, ECOWAS and the Commonwealth of Nations.
Umaru Dikko, a former Minister of Transportation under the previous civilian administration of President Shagari who fled the country shortly after the coup, was accused of embezzling $1 billion in oil profits.
With the help of an alleged former Mossad agent, the NSO traced him to London, where operatives from Nigeria and Israel drugged and kidnapped him.
The purpose of this secret operation was to ship Dikko off to Nigeria on an empty Nigerian Airways Boeing 707, to stand trial for embezzlement.
The Banking (Freezing of Accounts) Decree of 1984, allotted to the Federal Military Government the power to freeze bank accounts of persons suspected to have committed fraud.
The Recovery of Public Property (Special Military Tribunals) Decree permitted the government to investigate the assets of public officials linked with corruption and constitute a military tribunal to try such persons.
Launched on 20 March 1984, the policy tried to address the perceived lack of public morality and civic responsibility of Nigerian society.
The suitcases were being transported by the Emir of Gwandu, whose son was Buhari's aide-de-camp, and were cleared through customs on 10 June 1984 without inspection during his return flight from Saudi Arabia.
According to Decree Number 2 of 1984, the state security and the chief of staff were given the power to detain, without charges, individuals deemed to be a security risk to the state for up to three months.
The NSO played a wide role in the cracking down of public dissent by intimidating, harassing and jailing individuals who broke the interdiction on strikes.
The regime also jailed its critics, as in the case of Nigeria's most popular artist and one time presidential contender, afro-beat singer Fela Kuti.
In 1984, Buhari passed Decree Number 4, the Protection Against False Accusations Decree, considered by scholars as the most repressive press law ever enacted in Nigeria.
The law further stated that offending journalists and publishers will be tried by an open military tribunal, whose ruling would be final and unappealable in any court and those found guilty would be eligible for a fine not less than 10,000 naira and a jail sentence of up to two years.
He was executed even if at the time of his arrest the crime did not mandate the capital punishment, but had carried a sentence of six months imprisonment.
In another prominent case of April 1985, six Nigerians were condemned to death under the same decree: Sidikatu Tairi, Sola Oguntayo, Oladele Omosebi, Lasunkanmi Awolola, Jimi Adebayo and Gladys Iyamah.
In 1985, prompted by economic uncertainties and a rising crime rate, the government of Buhari opened the borders (closed since April 1984) with Benin, Niger, Chad and Cameroon to speed up the expulsion of 700,000 illegal foreigners and illegal migrant workers.
Ahead of the 2015 general election, Buhari responded to his human rights criticism by saying that if elected, he would follow the rule of law, and that there would be access to justice for all Nigerians and respect for fundamental human rights of Nigerians.
In August 1985, Major General Buhari was overthrown in a coup led by General Ibrahim Babangida and other members of the ruling Supreme Military Council (SMC).
Babangida brought many of Buhari's most vocal critics into his administration, including Fela Kuti's brother Olikoye Ransome-Kuti, a doctor who had led a strike against Buhari to protest declining health care services.
Buhari's admirers believe that he was overthrown by corrupt elements in his government who were afraid of being brought to justice as his policies were beginning to yield tangible dividends in terms of public discipline, curbing corruption, lowering inflation, enhancing workforce and improving productivity.
He had access to television that showed two channels and members of his family were allowed to visit him on the authorization of Babangida.
In Katsina, he became the pioneer chairman of Katsina Foundation that was founded to encourage social and economic development in Katsina State.
Buhari served as the Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), a body created by the government of General Sani Abacha, and funded from the revenue generated by the increase in price of petroleum products, to pursue developmental projects around the country.
However, the same report also noted that critics had questioned the PTF's allocation of 20% of its resources to the military, which the critics feared would not be accountable for the revenue.
He was defeated by the People's Democratic Party nominee, President Olusẹgun Ọbasanjọ, by a margin of more than 11 million votes.
His main challenger in the April 2007 polls was the ruling PDP candidate, Umaru Yar'Adua, who hailed from the same home state of Katsina.
The ANPP joined the government with appointment of its national chairman as cabinet members in the government of Umar Musa Yaradua, but Buhari denounced this agreement.
In March 2010, Buhari left the ANPP for the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), a party that he had helped to found.
Buhari was the CPC Presidential candidate in 16 April 2011 general election, running against incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), and Ibrahim Shekarau of ANPP.
He also gave support to enforcement of Sharia law in Nigeria's northern states, which had previously caused him political difficulties among Christian voters in the country's south.
The elections were marred by widespread sectarian violence, which claimed the lives of 800 people across the country, as Buhari's supporters attacked Christian settlements in the country's centre regions.
Buhari won 12,214,853 votes, coming in second to the incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP, who polled 22,495,187 votes and was declared the winner.
In the runup to the 2015 Presidential elections, the campaign team of incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan asked for the disqualification of General Buhari from the election, claiming that he is in breach of the Constitution.
Buhari has failed to submit any such evidence, claiming that he lost the original copies of his diplomas when his house was raided following his overthrow from power in 1985.
However, Buhari stated in an interview that he would not probe past corrupt leaders and that he would give officials who stole in the past amnesty, insofar as they repent.
In February 2015, former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo quit the ruling PDP party and threw his support behind the Buhari/Osinbajo ticket.
Buhari was sworn in on 29 May 2015 in a ceremony attended by at least 23 Heads of State and Government.
In December 2014, Muhammadu Buhari went on the record to say he would abolish the office of the First Lady if he was elected as President, claiming it was unconstitutional.
On 4 January 2015, while campaigning for the 2015 general election, Buhari stated that he favoured freedom of religion, that every Nigerian should be free and secure to practice their different religions.
Because they cannot attack our record, they accuse us falsely of calling for election violence – when we have only insisted on peace.
Buhari has a contemplative approach to governance, his presidency improved in dealing with corruption and also in deploying resources to the field to combat the insurgence of Boko Haram.
But in a country with 23% unemployment rate, Buhari's un-energetic personality and his contemplative decision making has not earned him admiration from some independent supporters who voted for him in 2015.
Buhari's key advisers include his nephew, Mamman Daura, the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari and in the late stages of his first term, Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
Since the Fourth Republic, ministerial positions are legally required to be composed of a federal ethno-demographic character with a minister representing each state of the federation.
A result of this has created the outcome of political considerations as an important factor in nominating ministers as local party officials lacking in merit jostle for cabinet positions.
Nomination into Buhari's cabinet has been influenced by those political considerations and also closeness to the president and his inner cabinet.
In August 2019, the president named his cabinet of predominantly male members with an average years of 60 and dominated by political actors or those close to the president.
The cabinet include two wealthy former governors from the Niger Delta, Timipre Sylva and Godswill Akpabio who were originally members of the opposition party PDP and fourteen retained ministers some of whom critics alleged had performed poorly or having a close relationship with a corrupt past Head of State.
Once in power, Buhari who had earlier mobilized supporters in three previous elections was slow to manifest his intention to solve problems he mentioned during his campaign.
Determination to initiate his domestic policy agenda like naming of cabinet officials took six months, while the passage of the 2016 and 2017 budgets were delayed by infighting.
To source funds to close shortfall in revenue and fund an expansionary capital budget, Buhari traveled to 20 countries seeking loans.
In the first year of the administration, Naira, the currency of Nigeria depreciated in the black market leading to a gulf between the official exchange rate and the black-market rate.
However, the gulf between the official rates and the black market rates opened up the opportunity for well connected individuals to engage in arbitrage, making a mockery of the president's anti-corruption image.
In May, 2016, the government announced a rise in the official pump price of petroleum to curtail shortfall in the commodity as a result of foreign exchange shortages.
Buhari's first tenure as head of state coincided with a decline in oil prices similar to his second stint but his administration has not shown dedicated effort to diversify sources of government spending.
The 2018 budget signaled an expansionary fiscal policy with funds dedicated to infrastructural projects such as strategic roads, bridges and power plants.
Since an upturn in economic growth from the decline of 2016, a slow pace of recovery has the country behind many of its continental neighbors in GDP growth.
Unemployment levels remain high and any effort to increase non-oil revenues has not improved while government deficit spending include a significant portion of its yearly budget dedicated to service debts.
Buhari with the support of the Central Bank chief initiated policies to improve agriculture production through lobbying private banks to lend to the sector and restriction of foreign exchange at official rates for importation of food product that are grown locally.
In his second tern, the budget minister, Udo Udoma and trade minister, Enemalah both of whom favored liberalisation were not returned.
The government continued to operate flexible exchange rates into the second term of the administration despite critics alluding to the exchange rate regime of being susceptible to arbitrage abuses and round tripping by cronies of the government.
Buhari described the military crackdown by the Myanmar Army and police on Rohingya Muslims as ethnic cleansing and warned of a disaster like the Rwandan genocide.
Nigeria and South Africa between them share about 50% of Africa's economic output but both countries macroeconomic structure is hampered by high poverty rates, youth unemployment and decline in capital investment.
About 600,000 Nigerians have emigrated to South Africa to seek out better economic opportunities and like in Nigeria, it is an economy struggling with its own high unemployment rates.
The leaders of both countries met in early October 2019, to discuss measures to improve the relationship between both countries which has been affected not only by anti-migrant violence in South Africa both issues about profit repatriation by South African firms operating in Nigeria.
In spite of roles played by the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs and the Amnesty programme led by Sokunbi Ajibade Adenrele to ameliorate the conditions of the people's lives and settle militant activities, they are still intermittent attacks on oil facilities by groups such as the Niger Delta Avengers.
Nigeria has the second largest reserves of crude oil in Africa, reserves largely found in the Niger Delta region of the country.
The government initiated Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) to help clean up Ogoniland while other state governors within the region want a similar setup.
In 2012, Buhari's name was included on a list published by Boko Haram of individuals it would trust to mediate between the group and the Federal Government.
In 2013, Muhammadu Buhari made a series of statements, when he asked the Federal Government to stop the killing of Boko Haram members and blamed the rise of the terrorist group on the prevalence of Niger Delta militants in the South.
He also questioned the special treatment including close to $500 million a year paid to 30,000 militants under the amnesty programme since 2013 by the Federal Government and deplored the fact that Boko Haram members were killed and their houses destroyed.
In December 2014, Buhari pledged to enhance security in Nigeria, if he wins the general elections on 14 February 2015, which were later rescheduled for 28 March 2015.
Since this announcement, Buhari's approval ratings reportedly have skyrocketed amongst the Nigerian people (largely due to the incumbent Goodluck Jonathan's apparent inability to fight Boko Haram's brutal insurgency).
In October 2016, the government negotiated a deal with the terrorist group, Boko Haram which secured the release of 21 Chibok girls.
By December 2016, the government had recovered much of the territories previously held by Boko Haram and after the capture of Sambisa Forest, Buhari announced that Boko Haram has been technically defeated.
The insurgency displaced about 2 million people from their homes and the recapture of the towns now present humanitarian challenges in health, education and nutrition.
On 6 May 2017, Buhari's government secured a further release of 82 out of 276 girls kidnapped in 2014, in exchange of five Boko Haram leaders.
On 7 May 2017, President Buhari met with the 82 released Chibok girls, before departing to London, UK, for a follow up treatment for an undisclosed illness.
The Middle-Belt region of Nigeria has been vulnerable to clashes between farmers and cattle herders, two groups trying to secure arable land for grazing or farming and access to water.
The intensity and politicization of the conflict along ethnic and religious divide increased during the administration of Buhari as instances of conflicts flared in parts of Southern Nigeria.
About 300 civilians were killed in a village in Benue State, Middle-Belt of the country and about 40 civilians were killed in Enugu in Southeastern Nigeria.
The conflict between farmers many of whom are largely Christians and herders who are predominantly Muslims has stoked religious tension not helped when the president sent in military troops disarm ethnic Christian militias while critics allege of his lukewarm towards armed cattle herders.
The administration's effort to solve the conflict led to the National Livestock Transformation Plan to modernise cattle grazing and stabilize the Middle Belt region.
In 2017, RUGA, an acronym for Rural Grazing Area but also a word meaning settlement in Fulani was a proposed solution that came from deliberations of the transformation plan.
A separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra and led by Nnamdi Kanu became high profile in 2015 for advocating independence for a separate nation of Biafra.
The group agitating for a resurgence of Biafra, a republic not constrained by dis-empowerment of Igbos gradually founded favor among many economically and politically dis-empowered youths in Southeastern Nigeria.
In October 2015 Kanu was arrested on allegation of treason, his arrest was followed by protest against his detention across many Southeastern states.
After the Islamic movement was accused of an attack against former Chief of Army Staff Tukur Buratai in December 2015, Zakzaky's base was shelled causing hundreds of fatalities while Zakzaky was arrested.
On 8 February, President Buhari personally signed a letter addressed to the President of the Senate of Nigeria alerting him of a further extension to his annual leave, leaving his Vice President in charge.
Although information was limited during his stay in London, he was pictured on March 9 meeting the most senior cleric of the world Anglican congregation, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.
Most recently he was absent from the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, the worker's day event held at the Eagle Square in Abuja on May Day 2017.
Some prominent Nigerian figures urged the President to take a long-term medical leave, citing his failure to make any public appearances over a two-week period.
President Buhari returned to Nigeria from his medical leave in the United Kingdom 104 days after leaving, on August 19, 2017.
On 8 May, Buhari left Nigeria to London for medical check up, upon arrival from USA; and he returned on Friday 11 May 2018.
On 24 January 2018, former president Obasanjo wrote a letter to president Buhari accusing his government of nepotism, while commending his war against corruption and lauding his achievements on Boko Haram.
Shrugging off opposition from a previous president, during a national executive council meeting on the morning of April, 9th 2018, President Buhari declared his intention to re-enter the presidential race in 2019 and seek a second term in office as a democratic leader.
This came after much speculation by political players and members of the public about whether or not he was going to run, especially considering his rather late timing.
Buhari said during the 2011 presidential campaigns under the CPC banner that he would never seek a re-election bid should he ever become president.
Whilst the country commemorate Democracy Day on May 29, in remembrance of May 29, 1999, when democracy was restored after a long term of military rule; Buhari changed it to June 12 for heroic remembrance of MKO Abiola, who won the June 12, 1993 election was overruled.
President Buhari hosts the principal officers of the National Assembly to dinner at the state house on Thursday July 11, 2019.
In November 2012, Buhari's first daughter, Zulaihat (née Buhari) Junaid died from sickle cell anaemia, two days after having a baby at a hospital in Kaduna.
A diploma mill (also known as a degree mill) is a company or organization that claims to be a higher education institution but provides illegitimate academic degrees and diplomas for a fee.
These degrees may claim to give credit for relevant life experience, but should not be confused with legitimate prior learning assessment programs.
They may also claim to evaluate work history or require submission of a thesis or dissertation for evaluation to give an appearance of authenticity.
The term may also be used pejoratively to describe an accredited institution with low academic admission standards and a low job placement rate.
Also, in some universities, holders of a lower degree (such as a bachelor's degree) may be routinely awarded honorary higher degrees (such as a master's degree) without study.
Diploma mills share a number of features that differentiate them from respected institutions, although some legitimate institutions may exhibit some of the same characteristics.
Accreditation mills based in the United States may model their websites after real accrediting agencies overseen by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
UNESCO has no authority to recognize or accredit higher education institutions or agencies, and has published warnings against education organizations that claim UNESCO recognition or affiliation.
These diploma and degree mills may further confuse matters by claiming to consider work history, professional education, and previous learning, and may even require the submission of a dissertation or thesis in order to give an added appearance of legitimacy.
As diploma mills are typically licensed to do business, it is common practice within the industry to misrepresent their business license as indicating government approval of the institution.
Despite the fact that trademark law is intended to prevent this situation, diploma mills continue to employ various methods to avoid legal recourse.
Several diploma mills have adopted British-sounding names, similar but not identical to the names of legitimate universities, apparently to take advantage of the United Kingdom's reputation for educational quality in other parts of the world.
The school's website may well not have an .edu domain, or other country-specific equivalent, since registration of such names is typically restricted.
However, enforcement has sometimes been less restrictive, and an .edu domain cannot be taken as verification of school quality or reputation.
Some diploma mills use an .ac top-level domain name, which resembles genuine second-level academic domain names like ac.uk but is in fact the ccTLD for Ascension Island.
Depending on the institution, students may be required to purchase textbooks, take tests, and submit homework, but degrees are commonly conferred after little or no study.
If teaching is offered, the professors may themselves hold advanced degrees from the diploma mill itself or from other unaccredited institutions.
Doctoral theses and dissertations from the institution will not be available from University Microfilms International, a national repository, or even the institution's own library, if it has one.
Degrees from a diploma mill can be obtained within a few days, weeks or months from the time of enrollment, and back-dating is possible.
This should not be confused with legitimate programs offering recognition of prior learning, which allow students to gain academic credit based on past training, experience or independent study.
This will usually require a test that the student can fail; a diploma mill will grant the degree regardless of results.
They may be told that they qualify for a fellowship, scholarship or grant, or offered deals to sign up for multiple degrees at the same time.
Even if issuing or receiving a diploma mill qualification is legal, passing it off as an accredited one for personal gain is a crime in many jurisdictions.
In some cases the diploma mill may itself be guilty of an offense, if it knew or ought to have known that the qualifications it issues are used for fraudulent purposes.
Diploma mills could also be guilty of fraud if they mislead customers into believing that the qualifications they issue are accredited or recognized, or make false claims that they will lead to career advancement, and accept money on the basis of these claims.
Similar to tax havens, diploma mills frequently employ jurisdiction shopping, operating in another country or legal jurisdiction where running diploma mills is legal, standards are lax or prosecution is unlikely.
In Australia, it is a criminal offence to call an institution a university, or issue university degrees, without authorisation through an act of federal or state parliaments.
Accreditation is independently assessed by the Agency for Development of Higher Education and Quality Assurance and formally conferred by the Ministry of Education and Science for each canton, entity or district.
In Canada all universities and colleges are under the direct supervision of the provincial and territorial governments, and there are no accreditation authorities, so the problem of degree mills is relatively rare.
The Ministry of Education, which has legal authority to regulate college enrollment and degree awarding, publishes a yearly list of qualified higher-education institutions.
For purposes of professional qualification, the use of foreign degree qualifications is regulated: if the name of a degree can be confused with a Finnish degree that requires more academic credit, the confusion must be eliminated.
There are no laws against conferring unaccredited degrees or degrees accredited abroad, as long as a Finnish degree or equivalent is not claimed.
Diplomas issued by foreign educational institutions are validated and assessed by the Hellenic National Academic Recognition and Information Center (Hellenic NARIC).
UGC has published a warning dated July 2012 against Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM) about the unrecognized status of IIPM.

Under Article 135 of the School Education Act, all universities and post-secondary education institutes in Japan require a government-issued licence from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).
In addition, the National Institution for Academic Degrees and Quality Enhancement of Higher Education (NIAD-QE) has the sole authority to accredit all university and post-secondary qualifications in Japan, as per Article 104 of the School Education Act.
In 2007, MEXT revealed that it had discovered 48 people with suspected falsified qualifications who were successfully hired to teach in 43 universities and post-secondary education institutes throughout Japan between 2004 and 2006.
The Private Higher Education Institutions act also places restrictions on the creation and operation of any private higher education institution that conducts any course of study or training programme for which a certificate, diploma or degree is awarded.

279 establishing the processes and procedures related to the recognition of official validity of studies The Secretariat of Public Education (SEP) lists several institutions that are unaccredited in Mexico.
They included the technical director of the National Center for Blood Transfusions and the chief medical officer of the National Commission for Medical Arbitration, which rules on cases of malpractice.
Since the implementation of the Bologna process, Dutch universities have started to bestow the English titles MSc and PhD instead of their Dutch equivalents.
The status of such a diploma depends upon the laws and accreditation system of the country where the diploma is granted.
Diploma's from non EU institutions must be screened and validated first before they are accepted for appointments requiring a validated starting level (e.g.
Title IV (Crimes Against Public Interest), section V articles 174 and 175 of the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines criminalize the falsification of medical certificates, certificates of merit or service and the like.
Article 174 imposes a penalty on anyone who produces such certificates and article 175 on anyone who knowingly procures and uses such a certificate.
Despite this, news and magazine articles appear from time to time reporting businesses operating along Claro M. Recto Avenue in Manila which offer fake documents for sale.
To award higher studies degrees, all higher studies institutions require a governmental issued licence provided by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education and published in the Government Journal (Diário da República) and communicate to the High Studies General Board (Direção Geral do Ensino Superior - DGES) all record of grades and degree awarded by students.
Previously to 2007, in the process of opening a new institution or new curriculum to be lectured, it was required to provide the degree content by science branch and the list of PhD, MSc and BSc professors that lecture that specific course, thus getting a licence without expiration date, mandatory professors or contents revision date.
This created a series of controversial scandals and severe lack quality in some private and public institutions as evidentiated by the 2007 state run inspection at the hands of , resulting in their compulsory closure and transfer of students to other institutions.
Created by governmental rule to ensure the quality in higher studies along the Bologna Process implementation, this entity has a specific and rigorous agenda to control all public and private institutions of higher studies and its content.
Its job is to perform inspections every 1, 2, 3 or 5 years about the academic crew scientific quality, current and new curriculum in all degrees, assure that these are up to date, and control the BSc, MSc and PhD available degrees in Portugal, by closure or approval of new courses as the Bologna Process demands.
According to the rector of the university, Corina Dumitrescu, the law has a loophole, since it uses a continuous present for institutional evaluation, which is uncharacteristic of the Romanian language.
According to the civic initiative Dissernet such institutions are providing the Russian elite (heads of universities, members of parliament and government officials) with degrees based on plagiarised and falsified Kandidat nauk (Ph.D Candidate) and Doktor nauk (full Ph.D) theses.
In March 2006 prosecutors in Seoul were reported to have broken up a crime ring selling bogus music diplomas from Russia, which helped many land university jobs and seats in orchestras.
The case had a far-reaching impact as she was a professor at Dongguk University and also held a position at an art gallery known to have ties with economical and political figures.
Until 1999 only state universities could grant degrees, but amendments to the Universities Act now allow private institutions to be granted degree-awarding status by the University Grants Commission.
Though aware that claiming an MBA from this diploma mill would be illegal in many states in the US, Littorin tried to convince the Swedish media and people of the legitimacy of his qualification.
Qualifications, diplomas and titles earned from Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology (ETH Zurich, EPFL), from cantonal (state-run) universities, from private universities recognized by state authorities, and from Fachhochschule-institutions (Universities of Applied Sciences run or recognized by official authorities, federal and cantonal) are protected.
Accreditation is conferred by the Conference of University Rectors of Switzerland (CRUS) and the Swiss Center of Accreditation and Quality Assurance in Higher Education (OAQ).
Under Swiss law, it is a criminal offense, under unfair competition legislation, to profit by any unfounded academic or occupational qualifications.
In the United Kingdom, degrees may only be awarded by institutions that have degree-awarding powers recognised by the UK authorities (the UK parliament, the Scottish parliament, the National Assembly for Wales or the Northern Ireland Assembly).
Some institutions do not have degree-awarding powers but provide complete courses leading to recognised UK degrees that are validated by institutions which have degree-awarding powers.
The UK authorities recognise those institutions which have been granted degree-awarding powers by either a Royal charter, an Act of Parliament or the Privy Council.
The UK Border Agency maintains a list of institutions licensed to sponsor migrant students so that overseas students can check that they are attending an appropriate institution, and the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) maintain a directory of higher education providers regulated in England.
Higher Education Degree Datacheck (HEDD) is an initiative sponsored by HEFCE which aims to prevent Higher Education fraud in the UK by maintaining a list of UK degree-awarding bodies, including name changes, mergers and antecedents since 1990, and where institutions that are claiming to be universities are known to be bogus, these are also listed.
The United States Department of Education lacks direct plenary authority to regulate schools and, consequently, the quality of an institution's degree.
However, the Federal Trade Commission works to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices including those in the field of education and alerts United States' consumers about diploma mills by delineating some tell-tale signs in its official web page.
Under the terms of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, the U.S. Secretary of Education is required by law to publish a list of nationally recognized accrediting agencies that the Secretary determines to be reliable authorities on the quality of education or training provided by the institutions of higher education that they accredit.
Some degree mills have taken advantage of the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment by representing themselves as seminaries, since in many jurisdictions religious institutions can legally offer degrees in religious subjects without government regulation.
Although the DipScam operation in the 1980s led to a decline in diploma mill activity across the United States, the lack of further action by law enforcement, uneven state laws, and the rise of the Internet have combined to reverse many of the gains made in previous years.
Jurisdictions that have restricted or made illegal the use of credentials from unaccredited schools include Oregon, Michigan, Maine, North Dakota, New Jersey, Washington, Nevada, Illinois, Indiana, and Texas.
After swimming competitively in America as a collegian at North Carolina State University, he was an Olympic swimmer for Great Britain and won Olympic gold and bronze medals at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.
Duncan Goodhew came to prominence as an international swimmer in 1976, finishing 7th in the 100m breaststroke at the Montreal Olympics that summer.
Four years later, in the 1980 Moscow Olympics, he won gold in the 100m breaststroke, in a time of 1:03.34, and a bronze in the 4x100m medley relay.

James Edward Hubert Gascoyne-Cecil, 4th Marquess of Salisbury, (23 October 1861 – 4 April 1947), known as Viscount Cranborne from 1868 to 1903, was a British statesman.
The Right Reverend Lord William Cecil, Lord Cecil of Chelwood and Lord Quickswood were his younger brothers, and Prime Minister Arthur Balfour his first cousin.
He started public life early, being of a very young age when he accompanied his father to the 1876–1877 Constantinople Conference and a year later to the Congress of Berlin.
He was elected for Rochester at a by-election in 1893, continuing as MP there until 1903, when he succeeded his father and was elevated to the House of Lords.
Lord Cranborne was appointed lieutenant-colonel of the 4th (Militia) battalion Bedfordshire Regiment (formerly the Hertfordshire Militia) on 29 October 1892, and was in command when the battalion saw active service in South Africa from March to November 1900, during the Second Boer War.
He received the Queen's South Africa Medal and was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) for his service during the war.
In July 1902 he received the Honorary Freedom of the borough of Hertford in recognition of his service during the war.
He served under his father and then his cousin Arthur Balfour as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs from 1900 to 1903, under Balfour as Lord Privy Seal from 1903 to 1905, and as Lord President of the Board of Trade in 1905.
He returned to the government in the 1920s and served under Bonar Law and Stanley Baldwin as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster from 1922 to 1923, as Lord President of the Council from 1922 to 1924, as Lord Privy Seal from 1924 to 1929 and as Leader of the House of Lords from 1925 to 1929 in successive Conservative governments of Bonar Law and Baldwin.
He resigned as leader of the Conservative peers in June 1931 and became one of the most prominent opponents of Indian Home Rule in the Lords, supporting the campaign waged in the House of Commons by Winston Churchill against the Home Rule legislation.
He was also Honorary Colonel of Royal Field Artillery in the Territorial Detachment and the 48th South Midland Division Royal Engineers (TA).
Salisbury was part of two parliamentary deputations which called on the Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Neville Chamberlain, in the autumn of 1936 to remonstrate with them about the slow pace of British rearmament in the face of the growing threat from Nazi Germany.
The delegation was led by Sir Austen Chamberlain, a former Foreign Secretary and its most prominent speakers included Winston Churchill, Leo Amery and Roger Keyes.
Lord Salisbury married Lady Cicely Alice Gore (born 15 July 1867, died 5 February 1955), second daughter of Arthur Gore, 5th Earl of Arran, on 17 May 1887 at St. Margaret's Church, Westminster.
Between 1907 and 1910 she served as a Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Alexandra; additionally she was appointed an Officer of the Order of St John of Jerusalem, and as a Justice of the Peace for Hertfordshire.
Paul Louis Adrien Henri Hymans (23 March 1865 – 8 March 1941), was a Belgian politician associated with the Liberal Party.
As a politician he became Belgian Minister for Foreign Affairs from 1918 to 1920 (and again from 1927 to 1935), minister of justice from 1926 to 1927, and member of the council of ministers from 1935 to 1936.
Britain, France and Russia pledged in the Declaration of Sainte-Adresse in February 1916 that Belgium would be included in the peace negotiations, but its independence would be restored, and that it would receive a monetary compensation for Germany for the damage.
When war began, Hymans also got major promises of relief support from the United States, with the approval of President Wilson.
Relief was directed primarily by an American Herbert Hoover and involved several agencies: Commission for Relief in Belgium, American Relief Administration, and Comité National de Secours et d'Alimentation.
At the Paris peace conference in 1919, Belgium officially ended its long time neutral status, and became first in line to receive reparations payments from Germany.
However, Belgium received only a small bit of German territory, and was rejected in its demands for all of Luxembourg and part of the Netherlands.
Hymans was the leading spokesman for the small countries at Paris, and became president of the first assembly of the new league of Nations.
He Hymans helped form the customs union of Belgium and Luxembourg (Belgium-Luxembourg Economic Union) in 1921 and played a leading part in negotiating the Dawes Plan in 1924.
In the liturgical year of some Christian denominations, Passion Sunday is the fifth Sunday of Lent, marking the beginning of the two-week period called Passiontide.
In 1969, the Roman Catholic Church removed Passiontide from the liturgical year of the Novus Ordo form of the Mass, but the day remains observed on the fifth Sunday in the Extraordinary Form mass, as well as by the Anglican Communion and by Lutherans.
It marked the beginning of a two-week-long period known as Passiontide, which is still observed by some traditionalist Catholics, Western Rite Orthodoxy, various denominations in Protestantism.
Pope Paul VI's revision in 1969 removed a distinction that existed (although with overlap) between Lent and Passiontide, which began with the fifth Sunday of Lent.
Where this practice is followed, crucifixes remain covered until the end of the Good Friday celebration of the Lord's Passion; statues remain covered until the beginning of the Easter Vigil.
Because of the custom of veiling crucifixes and statues in the church before Mass on the fifth Sunday of Lent, this Sunday was called Black Sunday in Germany, where the veils, which elsewhere were generally violet, were of black colour.
Those who continue to observe earlier forms of the Roman Rite or of liturgies modelled on it refer to the fifth Sunday of Lent by one or other of its previous names.
The historical readings for the fifth Sunday of Lent in the Lutheran tradition are Genesis 12:1–3, Hebrews 9:11–15, John 8:46–59, and Psalm 43.
The lectionary of the same liturgical text appointed the Old Testament reading as being Gen. 22:1–2, 9–13; the Epistle as being Heb.
Until 1969, the account read was always that of the Gospel of Matthew: the whole of chapters 26 and 27 () until 1954, but reduced in 1955 to and for priests celebrating a second or a third Mass on that day to alone.
Since 1970, the revision of the Roman Missal has introduced a three-year cycle in which the accounts of Matthew ( or ), Mark ( or ) and Luke ( or are read in successive years.
Hynes was born on September 22, 1897, the son of Bernard Hynes of Abbey Street, Loughrea, County Galway, Ireland, who emigrated to Boston about 1890.
He later transferred to the auditing department and was chief clerk in the Mayor's office during James Michael Curley's 1922 to 1926 term.
He was discharged that December due to a reoccurrence of a chronic ear issue and returned to the city clerk's office.
The city charter allowed the president of the city council to serve as acting mayor in the mayor's absence, but his powers were limited unless the mayor was deceased.
The Massachusetts General Court passed emergency legislation to bypass council president John B. Kelly, who had recently been acquitted on bribery charges and was in ill health, and to grant full Mayoral powers to Hynes (who as city clerk was second in the line of succession) until Curley's release from prison.
Stung by this off-hand but disparaging comment about his performance as acting mayor, Hynes decided to challenge Curley in the November 1949 election, and defeated him.
Because of a change to the mayoral election system, the next election was held in November 1951, when Hynes again defeated Curley.
Hynes faced Curley a third time in the 1955 mayoral race; Curley was eliminated in the preliminary election, and Hynes defeated John E. Powers in the general election.
During his tenure as mayor, he oversaw the opening of the Central Artery elevated highway through the city's waterfront district, as well as the opening of the Freedom Trail, which traces many of Boston's Revolutionary War era landmarks.
He was responsible for founding the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA), which laid the foundation for developments in Boston in the 1950s and beyond including the controversial razing of the West End.
Robert Arthur James Gascoyne-Cecil, 5th Marquess of Salisbury, (27 August 1893 – 23 February 1972), known as Viscount Cranborne from 1903 to 1947, was a British Conservative politician.
In 1928, he was appointed a director and to the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts; he was promoted to chairman of the commission in 1957.
Salisbury, as Viscount Cranborne, was elected as a Conservative to the House of Commons as MP for South Dorset in 1929.
As Parliamentary Secretary to the Lord Privy Seal in 1934 in Ramsay MacDonald's National Government, he was promoted serving as Joint Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs from 1935 to 1938.
He was made Paymaster-General by Winston Churchill in May 1940 for the duration of the Battle of Britain but was appointed Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs from 1940 to 1942.
In 1941, he was summoned to the House of Lords through a writ of acceleration in one of his father's titles as Baron Cecil of Essendon.
He was Secretary of State for the Colonies in February–November 1942, Lord Privy Seal between 1942 and 1943, Leader of the House of Lords between 1942 and 1945 and again Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs between 1943 and 1945.
As a friend of Churchill, in 1943, he was appointed President of the English-Speaking Union to promote the universality of the language throughout the British Empire.
His final wartime appointment was as President of the University College of the South West for a statutory ten years before it was converted to university status.
In 1947, King George VI made Salisbury a Knight of the Order of the Garter, and he succeeded his father in the marquessate shortly afterwards.
During the 1950s, when his party returned to office, successively, he served Churchill, Anthony Eden, and Harold Macmillan as Lord Privy Seal from 1951 to 1952; Leader of the House of Lords from 1951 to 1957; Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations in 1952 and Lord President of the Council from December 1952 to 1957.
During the period of the coronation of Elizabeth II, he was appointed Acting Foreign Secretary, as Eden was then seriously ill after a series of botched operations on his bile duct.
During the 1960s, Lord Salisbury continued to be a staunch defender of the white-dominated governments in South Africa and in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and was granted the Freedom of the City of Salisbury on a visit in 1956.
He was also a fierce opponent of liberal-left attempts to reform the House of Lords, but he created what is known as the Salisbury Convention, under which the House of Lords will not oppose the second or third reading of any government legislation promised in its election manifesto.
Lord Salisbury resigned from his position as Leader of the House of Lords in opposition to the Government's decision to release Archbishop Makarios from his detention in the Seychelles.
Makarios, the Archbishop of Cyprus, had been arrested because the British perceived that he was encouraging inter-communal violence and terrorism in Cyprus during the so-called 'Cyprus Question'.
In 1970, students at the university staged an occupation at Senate House to demand his removal over his support for apartheid and other reactionary views.
Lord Salisbury married Elizabeth Vere Cavendish, daughter of Lord Richard Cavendish and his wife Lady Moyra de Vere Beauclerk (a daughter of The 10th Duke of St Albans), on 8 December 1915.
Lord Salisbury died in February 1972, at 78, and was succeeded by his eldest and only surviving son, Robert, who became the 6th Marquess.
Spyros Achilleos Kyprianou (; 28 October 1932 – 12 March 2002) was one of the most prominent politicians and barristers of modern Cyprus.
In 1952 he was appointed Secretary of Archbishop Makarios in London and in 1954 he assumed responsibility for the Office of the Secretary of the Cyprus Ethnarchy in London, the major objective of which was to inform British public opinion on the Cyprus issue.
There, he collaborated with the Panhellenic Committee for Self-Determination for Cyprus which aimed to raise the profile of the Cyprus case on the international scene.
He stayed in London until the signing of the London – Zurich Agreements for the independence of Cyprus and returned to Cyprus with Archbishop Makarios in March 1959.
During the transitional period after the signing of the agreements on Cyprus, Kyprianou represented the Greek Cypriot side at the Athens Conference for the drafting of the Agreement on the Application of the Tripartite Alliance (Cyprus – Greece – Turkey), this was provided for in the London – Zurich Agreements.
After the declaration of the independence of Cyprus in August 1960, the President of the Republic of Cyprus Archbishop Makarios appointed Kyprianou Minister of Justice and, a few days later, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
As Minister of Foreign Affairs, he repeatedly represented Cyprus at the UN Security Council, and in sessions of the U.N. General Assembly during debates on the Cyprus issue.
He also participated in meetings of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, of which he served as Chairman from April to December 1967.
He resigned from his post as Minister of Foreign Affairs on 5 May 1972, after a dispute with the military regime in Athens.
On 1 August 1974, following the coup of the Greek junta and the Turkish invasion in Cyprus, Kyprianou went to Athens where he had talks with the Government of National Unity, which took over following the collapse of the junta.
In September 1974, he headed the Cyprus delegation to the General Assembly of the United Nations during the debate on Cyprus.
In the parliamentary elections of 5 September 1976, the Democratic Party won 21 seats out of a total of 35 in the House of Representatives, and Kyprianou was elected President of the House.
After the death of the President of the Republic Archbishop Makarios on 3 August 1977, Kyprianou became Acting President of the Republic, in accordance with the constitution.
On 3 September 1977, he was unanimously elected President of the Republic to serve the remaining term of office of Archbishop Makarios.
In the presidential elections of 28 February 1978, and 13 February 1983, he was reelected as President of the Republic, the first time being elected unopposed.
As President of the Republic of Cyprus, he visited many countries and participated in sessions of the United Nations, as well as summit conferences of the Non-Aligned Movement and the Commonwealth of Nations.
His second son, Markos Kyprianou, served as a European Commissioner from 2004 to 2008 and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cyprus.
Corporate tenants conducting research and development in Thailand Science Park receive maximum investment privileges from the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI).
Facilities include a library, an infirmary, a bank, a savings cooperative, a residence hall, a nursery (daycare center), a grocery store, two food courts, and a number of coffee shops and restaurants.
In addition to advanced facilities and business space, the TSP offers a full range of value-added services to support technology businesses.
Also in the park is the Thailand Technology Information Access Center (now the Science and Technology Knowledge Service Center or STKS), a provider of on-line information services.
Luis Kutner (June 9, 1908 – March 1, 1993), was a US human rights activist and lawyer who co-founded Amnesty International with Peter Benenson in 1961, and created the concept of a living will.
He was a founder of World Habeas Corpus, an organization created to fight for international policies which would protect individuals against unwarranted imprisonment.
Kutner gained national recognition in 1949, when he obtained freedom for a black mechanic from Waukegan, Illinois, who had served 26 years of a life term sentence for raping an itinerant.
He also helped free Hungarian Cardinal József Mindszenty, American expatriate poet Ezra Pound, former Congo President Moise Tshombe and represented the Dalai Lama and Tibet.
When the French government indicted World Citizen Garry Davis on June 8, 1971 for issuing the World Passport from his home in Hesinque, Haut-Rhin, he engaged Dr. Luis Kutner as counsel during the trial at Mulhouse, H.R.
Following the trial, on June 10, 1971, Davis called a General Assembly of delegates of the World Government of World Citizens at Novetal, Sausheim, H.R.
to declare the founding of the World Court of Human Rights, based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, articles 6 to 11.
On July 27, 2011, The World Court of Human Rights was declared de juris by World Citizen Garry Davis from the War Memorial Opera House from where the United Nations was declared over 66 years prior.
The international community has come to realize that human rights are not an issue to be left solely to the national jurisdiction of individual states.
If we accept the legitimacy of individual choice in political matters-which is, after all, the essence of democracy-then the legitimacy of a world government chosen by millions of ordinary citizens cannot be in doubt.
What began as a declaration of intent on December 10, 1948 has been slowly evolving into a global compact, a set of rules that proscribe and prescribe the behavior of governments toward their citizens.
There exists today a codified body of international human rights laws that include conventions and covenants on genocide, civil and political, economic and social rights, refugees' and women's rights and racial discrimination.
The inter-national community is currently working on instruments to prevent torture, to protect the rights of children and to assure the freedom of religion.
They lead inevitably to this assembly today, We are the citizens concerned, We are the ultimate arbiters of human rights as they are innate and inalienable .
Our action today in founding a new court to which the single world citizen can appeal falls within the historical evolution of law itself as an evolving institution.
After all, the standards and norms enumerated and outlined in international human rights instruments have not been imposed on any of the nations that are party to then.
Indeed the very enunciation and acceptance of these basic human rights implies due process to insure their implementation and punishment to their violators.
Yet they were effectively used by the Allies to charge, convict and condemn those accused of the international crimes of war planning, war-making and genocide.
Before this assembly, I pledge my best and most devoted endeavors as Chief Justice of the World Court of Human Rights in the service of the oppressed, the persecuted and the downtrodden.
It has been said that the guarantees of personal liberty and impartial justice are the first casualties of a so-called national emergency.
The World Government of World Citizens that you here represent, is the only effective counter- balance to national citizenry becoming national servitude due to suppression of civil liberties in the name of national security and public order.
Now the newly declared World Court of Human Rights will take its place as a needful addition to provide a legal refuge.
According to the Bank of Thailand (BOT) foreign direct investment (FDI) in Thailand in the first half of 2016 fell by more than 90 percent in value to US$347 million.
Foreign investors are satisfied with the integrity of BOI staff, but least satisfactory for foreign investors is responses and explanations from BOI staffers.
Born in Kensington, Beevor was educated at two independent schools; Abberley Hall School in Worcestershire, followed by Winchester College in Hampshire.
He then went to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, where he studied under the military historian John Keegan, before receiving a commission in the 11th Hussars on 28 July 1967.
Beevor served in England and Germany and was promoted to lieutenant on 28 January 1969 before resigning his commission on 5 August 1970.
Beevor has been a visiting professor at the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at Birkbeck, University of London and at the University of Kent.
They have been praised for their vivid, compelling style, their treatment of the ordinary lives of combatants and civilians and the use of newly disclosed documents from Soviet archives.
Beevor's expertise has been the subject of some commentary; his publications have been praised as revitalizing interest in World War II topics and have allowed readers to reevaluate events such as D-Day from a new perspective.
In August 2015, Russia's Yekaterinburg region considered the banning of Beevor's books, accusing him of Nazi sympathies, citing his lack of Russian sources when writing about Russia, and claiming he had promoted false stereotypes introduced by Nazi Germany during World War II.
Mudflats or mud flats, also known as tidal flats, are coastal wetlands that form in intertidal areas where sediments have been deposited by tides or rivers.
Mudflats may be viewed geologically as exposed layers of bay mud, resulting from deposition of estuarine silts, clays and marine animal detritus.
Most of the sediment within a mudflat is within the intertidal zone, and thus the flat is submerged and exposed approximately twice daily.
Several especially shallow mudflat areas, such as the Wadden Sea, are now popular among those practising the sport of mudflat hiking.
On the Baltic Sea coast of Germany in places, mudflats are exposed not by tidal action, but by wind-action driving water away from the shallows into the sea.
They usually support a large population of wildlife, and are a key habitat that allows tens of millions of migratory shorebirds to migrate from breeding sites in the northern hemisphere to non-breeding areas in the southern hemisphere.
However, mudflats worldwide are under threat from predicted sea level rises, land claims for development, dredging due to shipping purposes, and chemical pollution.
In some parts of the world, such as East and South-East Asia, mudflats have been reclaimed for aquaculture, agriculture, and industrial development.
For example, around the Yellow Sea region of East Asia, more than 65% of mudflats present in the early 1950s had been destroyed by the late 2000s.
The associated growth of coastal sediment deposits can be attributed to rates of subsidence along with rates of deposition (example: silt transported via river) and changes in sea level.
Beginning in close proximity to the tidal bars, sand dominated layers are prominent and become increasingly muddy throughout the tidal channels.
Kurtzman's working method has been likened to that of an auteur, and he expected those who illustrated his stories to follow his layouts strictly.
The comic book switched to a magazine format in 1955, and Kurtzman left it in 1956 over a dispute with EC's owner William Gaines over financial control.
from 1960 to 1965, a humor magazine which featured work by future Monty Python member Terry Gilliam and the earliest work of underground cartoonists such as Robert Crumb and Gilbert Shelton.
His work gained greater recognition toward the end of his life, and he oversaw deluxe reprintings of much of his work.
Harvey Kurtzman was born on October 3, 1924, in a tenement building on 428 East Ninety-Eighth Street in Brooklyn in New York City.
David joined the Christian Science church, and when he suffered a bleeding ulcer he turned to prayer to cure it; he died from it on November 29, 1928, at age 36.
The family was in such desperate financial straits that their mother placed the Kurtzman brothers in an orphanage for three months until she secured work as a milliner.
Perkes brought young Kurtzman to work, and encouraged him to help with design and drawing and to think of himself as a professional artist.
Though he was a shy boy his teachers recognized Kurtzman's intelligence in grade school and allowed him to skip a grade.
He displayed artistic talent early and his sidewalk chalk drawings drew the attention of children and adults, who gathered around to watch him draw.
His mother encouraged his artistic development and enrolled him in art lessons; on Saturdays, he took the subway to Manhattan for formal art instruction.
Unsatisfied with what he found in his parents' newspapers, he searched through garbage cans for the Sunday comics sections of his neighbors' newspapers.
After winning the annual John Wanamaker Art Contest, Kurtzman received a scholarship to attend high school at The High School of Music & Art.
After his discharge following the war, Kurtzman found competition fierce in the comics industry, as freelancing replaced the system of packaging shops.
After a series of short-lived assignments and partnerships, Kurtzman got together with former Music and Art alumni Will Elder and Charles Stern.
In their Broadway studio, which Kurtzman kept open until the end of 1951, they sublet space to cartoonists such as John Severin, Dave Berg, and René Goscinny.
At an Art and Music reunion in early 1946 Kurtzman met Adele Hasan, who was one of the staff members at Timely and was dating Will Elder.
She left Timely for college that autumn, and corresponded frequently with Kurtzman; soon she dropped out of college and the two married that September.
These stories presented a view of reality quite different from the escapist entertainment typical of comics of the day, and was to influence the war and social drama work Kurtzman was soon to do at EC Comics.
The comic book differed in offering realistic stories in place of Crane's idealism, a degree of realism not yet seen in American comics.
The stories were not only about modern war, but also derived from deep in history, such as the Roman legions and Napoleonic campaigns.
He spent hours in the New York Public Library in search of the detailed truth behind the stories he was writing, sometimes taking days or weeks to research a story.
His research included interviewing and corresponding with GIs taking a ride aboard a rescue plane, and sending his assistant Jerry DeFuccio for a ride in a submarine to gather sound effects.
He sought to tell what he saw as the objective truth about war, deglamorizing it and showing its futility, though the stories were not explicitly anti-war.
The artists generally respected Kurtzman's wishes out of respect for his creative authority, but some, like Bernie Krigstein and Dan Barry, felt their own artistic autonomy impinged upon.
Kurtzman's laborious working methods meant he was less prolific than fellow EC writer and editor Al Feldstein, and Kurtzman felt financially underappreciated for the amount of effort he poured into his work.
He believed these stories had the same sort of influence on children that the chauvinism of war comics which he believed he worked hard against in his own work.
Remembering Kurtzman's humor work from the 1940s, Gaines proposed a humor magazine to increase Kurtzman's income, as he believed it would take far less time and effort to research.
They were developed in the same incremental way Kurtzman had developed for the war stories, and his layouts were followed faithfully by the artists who drew them—most frequently, Will Elder, Jack Davis and Wally Wood.
The proposal included seven finished pages, as well as a page redone by Jack Davis in case publishers' rejections were due to Kurtzman's drawing style.
The ambitious project did not find a willing publisher, as comics were still seen as too low-brow for such lavish treatment.
The Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency brought pressure on such comic books in 1954, and EC, one of the major purveyors of such fare, found their wares being refused by their distributor.
The new presentation was ambitious, and included meticulously rendered advertisement parodies and text pieces by humorists such as Ernie Kovacs, Stan Freberg, and Steve Allen.
Only artist Jack Davis became an equal shareholder and the only salaried employee despite declining to financially back the project; his participation was considered vital to its success.
With Kurtzman in the lead the reinvigorated, close-knit group set out to produce a classy publication in the vein of college humor magazines, but aimed at a general readership.
Kurtzman proposed a book of original material designed for the format, which Ian Ballantine, with reservations, accepted on faith out of respect for Kurtzman.
The strip was a social allegory of a hipster grasshopper and a hard-working ant with opposing worldviews, both of whom lose out in the end.
It was a rarity for Kurtzman in that he created it in full color, rather in black-and-white lineart with color added afterward.
Warren Publishing ran the business end, while co-ownership of the magazine allowed Kurtzman the control that he wanted, though its tight budget restricted that control.
had introduced a number of young cartoonists who were to play a major part in the movement, including Robert Crumb, Jay Lynch, Gilbert Shelton, Spain Rodriguez, and Skip Williamson.
The actual target of the strip had however been Hefner, who loved it; Kurtzman began working for Hefner again soon after.
(1967), a job he got through the recommendation of Jack Davis, who had been doing character designs for the film's production company Rankin/Bass.
Kurtzman, who had suffered from Parkinson's disease and colon cancer in later life, died at Mount Vernon, New York on February 21, 1993, of complications from liver cancer, nine months after Bill Gaines' death.
Kurtzman's work allowed him to be at home with his children during the day, and he gave them much of his attention.
As Peter had low-functioning autism, the Kurtzmans volunteered locally for work with special needs children, and in 1986 began an annual charity auction, raising money by selling the artwork of cartoonists for the Association for Mentally Ill Children of Westchester, which Adele continued to oversee following her husband's death.
The stories he created and had others illustrate balance captions and dialogue, in contrast with, for example, Al Feldstein's EC stories, in which the artists had to compensate for the text which dominated the page.
In the war stories he drew himself he employed an drawing style that distorted figures in expressive ways more akin to modern art than the stylizations of contemporary superhero or funny animal comics.
After deciding on a story and an ending which had impact, he laid out thumbnail sketches in miniature, with captions and dialogue.
He prepared layouts on large pieces of vellum to pass on to the artists, with supplemental photographs and drawings, and personally led the artist through the story before the finished artwork was begun.
He would then create a larger version of the page on vellum with a image area, which he would create using colored markers, working his way up from lighter to darker colors as he tightened the composition.
He would pass this on to Elder to render the final image following Kurtman's layouts exactly after having the image transferred to illustration board.
Along with cartoonists such as Will Eisner, Jack Kirby, and Carl Barks, Kurtzman is regularly cited as one of the defining creators of the Golden Age of American comic books.
Harvey was a master of composition, tone and visual rhythm, both within the panel and among the panels comprising the page.
The claim was based on changes to copyright laws made in 1976, in which copyrights sold could be reclaimed by the original independent creators at the time of copyright renewal.
Under these laws Jerry Siegel's estate was able to regain rights to Superman from DC Comics, but work-made-for-hire creations by Jack Kirby and Marv Wolfman were found ineligible.
The second volume in the series Playboy’s TRUMP, a collection of the 1950s satire magazine created by Kurtzman and Hugh Hefner, was published in 2016.
Thomas Eugene Kurtz (born February 22, 1928) is a retired Dartmouth professor of mathematics and computer scientist, who along with his colleague John G. Kemeny set in motion the then revolutionary concept of making computers as freely available to college students as library books were, by implementing the concept of time-sharing at Dartmouth College.
In his mission to allow non-expert users to interact with the computer, he co-developed the BASIC programming language (Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) and the Dartmouth Time Sharing System during 1963 to 1964.
A native of Oak Park, Illinois, United States, Kurtz graduated from Knox College in 1950, and was awarded a Ph.D. degree from Princeton University in 1956, where his advisor was John Tukey, and joined the Mathematics Department of Dartmouth College that same year, where he taught statistics and numerical analysis.
In 1983, Kurtz and Kemeny co-founded a company called True BASIC, Inc. to market True BASIC, an updated version of the language.
Kurtz has also served as Council Chairman and Trustee of EDUCOM, as well as Trustee and Chairman of NERComP, and on the Pierce Panel of the President's Scientific Advisory Committee.
In 1974, the American Federation of Information Processing Societies gave an award to Kurtz and Kemeny at the National Computer Conference for their work on BASIC and time-sharing.
In 1991, the Computer Society honored Kurtz with the IEEE Computer Pioneer Award and in 1994 he was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery.
In 1951, Kurtz' first experience with computing came at the Summer Session of the Institute for Numerical Analysis at University of California, Los Angeles.
He graduated in 1950 when he obtained his bachelor's degree majoring in mathematics and in 1956, at the age of 28, he went on to acquire his PhD from Princeton University.
In 1963 to 1964, Kurtz and Kemeny developed the first version of the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System, a time-sharing system for university use, and the BASIC language.
From 1966 to 1975, Kurtz served as Director of the Kiewit Computation Center at Dartmouth, and from 1975 to 1978, Director of the Office of Academic Computing.
From 1980 to 1988 Kurtz was Director of the Computer and Information Systems program at Dartmouth, a ground-breaking multidisciplinary graduate program to develop IS leaders for industry.
The very first BASIC program ran on May 1, 1964 at 4 a.m., and neither Kemeny nor Kurtz thought of this as a start to something grand.
In an open letter he reiterates upon past statements that BASIC was invented to give students a simple programming language that was easy to learn, as all the current languages of the time were dedicated to professionals.
He then went on to say that BASIC was for people who did not want to dedicate their lives to programming.
The repetition of this idea by Kurtz accentuates that even through all of his success the language he wrote would remain implemented for the masses and not just specialists.
BASIC standards were created in the 1980s for the ECMA, and ANSI with their versions being released in 1986 and 1987 respectively.
BASIC popularity skyrocketed in 1975 after a pair of youngsters in a Harvard dormitory, Bill Gates and Paul Allen, created a version of BASIC that was viable on one of the earliest personal computers.
Kemeny and Kurtz had forged DARSIMCO – Dartmouth Simplified Code – Dartmouth’s inaugural attempt at making a computing language in 1956; however DARSIMCO soon became obsolete when the language FORTRAN manifested itself.
In 1962 Kemeny and a Dartmouth undergraduate, Sidney Marshall, created the language DOPE, Dartmouth Oversimplified Programming Experiment, which was a direct predecessor of BASIC.
Kurtz's experience with Dartmouth ALGOL 30 for the LGP-30 convinced him that devising subsets of these languages was not quite practical, and this led him to adopt Kemeny’s notion of creating a new language entirely.
Although BASIC was widely regarded as a success, many computing professionals thought it was a poor choice for larger and more complicated programs.
A further criticism of the original language was that it was unstructured, which made it difficult to split programs into separate parts to improve readability.
BASIC not being structured also hindered the ability to debug and modify parts of the code, and this limited its use by larger companies.
Operation Horseshoe was the name given to an alleged plan of ethnic cleansing of Kosovo Albanians to be carried out by Serbian police and the Yugoslav army.
The operation's title suggest that the Yugoslav Army and police would squeeze the KLA and civilians in an attack launched from three sides, driving out the population as refugees fled through the open southwestern end of the horseshoe into Macedonia and Albania.
He stated that the German government had unearthed operational plans agreed by Yugoslav commanders in late February 1999 to carry out a massive ethnic cleansing operation in Kosovo.
Further details were provided on 9 April by Rudolf Scharping, the German Defence Minister, at a press conference held in Bonn.
He presented maps containing the names of towns and villages which showed arrows representing Yugoslav army and police militia units progressively encircling Kosovo in a horseshoe-shaped pincer movement.
According to Radio Television of Serbia the report was drafted by Bulgarian intelligence services based on the analysis of early 1999 events.
Former Bulgarian foreign minister Nadezhda Neynsky acknowledged in 2012 that the then-Bulgarian government had delivered information to Germany and NATO about Milošević's alleged plan to ethnically cleanse Kosovo.
She said she had delivered the document about the operation to the then German foreign minister, Joschka Fischer, in April 1999, although Neynsky had denied doing so in March 2000.
She also said the Bulgarian government back in 1999 went for providing NATO with the report on the Horseshoe plan even though the Bulgarian military intelligence warned that the information could not be verified.
Yugoslav Army military response to KLA attacks culminated in Operation Horseshoe directed not only against KLA fighters but also including systematic expulsions of Kosovar civilians.
Some date Operation Horseshoe's effective beginning to the summer of 1998, when hundreds of thousands of Kosovar Albanians were driven from their homes.
In 1999, the Yugoslav Army, Serbian police and Serb paramilitary, in an organized manner, with significant use of state resources, conducted a broad campaign of violence against Albanian civilians to expel them from Kosovo and thus maintain political control of Belgrade over the province.
According to the legally binding verdict of the ICTY, police after the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia (24 March 1999), federal Army and Serbian police systematically attacked villages with Albanian population, abused, robbed and killed civilians, ordering them to go to Albania or Montenegro, burning their houses and destroying by their property.
Within the campaign of violence, Albanians were expelled en masse from their homes, murdered, sexually assaulted, and their religious buildings destroyed.
Ethnic cleansing of the Albanian population is performed by the following model: first the army surrounded a place, then followed the shelling, then the police entered the village, and often with them and the army, and then crimes occurs (murders, rapes, beatings, expulsions...).
Expelled Kosovar Albanians were systematically stripped of identity and property documents including passports, land titles, automobile license plates, identity cards and other documents.
Physicians for Human Rights reports that nearly 60 percent of respondents to its survey observed Serbian forces removing or destroying personal identification documents.
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, by March 1999 (prior to NATO bombing), more than 200,000 Albanian civilians were internally displaced, almost 70,000 Albanians had fled the province to neighboring countries and Montenegro, and a further 100,000 Yugoslav nationals, mostly Kosovar Albanians, had sought asylum in Western Europe.
Within three weeks of the start of NATO strategic bombing during the Kosovo War, there were 525,787 refugees from Kosovo in neighboring countries.
By June 1999, the Yugoslav military, Serbian police and paramilitaries expelled 862,979 Albanians from Kosovo, A claim disputed by many Serbian politicians.
Radio Television of Serbia never showed the columns of Albanians expelled by Serbian police and paramilitaries, except when a convoy of fleeing Albanians was killed by NATO bombs.
Moreover, Milošević's propaganda trying to convince international public that huge columns of refugees fleeing Kosovo because of NATO's bombing, not Yugoslav Army military operations.
According to Loquai, the Bulgarian analysis concluded that the goal of the Yugoslav government was to destroy the Kosovo Liberation Army, and not to expel the entire Albanian population.
It is unclear how much advance planning there was for the ethnic cleansing of Kosovo, but the removal of ethnic Abanians was counterproductive as, according to British reporter and political analyst Tim Judah, it removed any possibility that Serbia would be allowed to retain control of Kosovo.
Young Masson was educated at the college of Sainte Barbe, and at the lycée Louis-le-Grand, and then travelled in Germany and in England.
At first he devoted himself to the history of diplomacy, and published between 1877 and 1884 several volumes connected with that subject.
Later he published a number of more or less curious memoirs illustrating the history of the Revolution and of the empire.
These were notes, extracts from historical, philosophical and literary books, and personal reflections in which one can watch the growth of the ideas later carried out by the emperor with modifications necessitated by the force of circumstances and his own genius.
These works abound in details and amusing anecdotes, which throw much light on the events and men of the time, laying stress on the personal, romantic and dramatic aspects of history.
His personal library, his papers, his collection of paintings and objects about Napoléon are conserved now in the Fondation Dosne-Thiers, 27 place Saint-Georges, 75009 Paris (France).
BepiColombo is a joint mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to the planet Mercury.
The mission will perform a comprehensive study of Mercury, including characterization of its magnetic field, magnetosphere, and both interior and surface structure.
It was launched on an Ariane 5 rocket on 20 October 2018 at 01:45 UTC, with an arrival at Mercury planned for December 2025, after a flyby of Earth, two flybys of Venus, and six flybys of Mercury.
The mission was approved in November 2009, after years in proposal and planning as part of the European Space Agency's Horizon 2000+ programme; it is the last mission of the programme to be launched.
ESA is responsible for the overall mission, the design, development assembly and test of the propulsion and MPO modules, and the launch.
The spacecraft will have a seven-year interplanetary cruise to Mercury using solar-electric propulsion (ion thrusters) and gravity assists from Earth, Venus and eventual gravity capture at Mercury.
The mission will characterize the solid and liquid iron core ( of the planet's radius) and determine the size of each.
Russia provided gamma ray and neutron spectrometers to verify the existence of water ice in polar craters that are permanently in shadow from the Sun's rays.
During this time it will use solar-electric propulsion and nine gravity assists, flying past the Earth and Moon in April 2020, Venus in 2020 and 2021, and six Mercury flybys between 2021 and 2025.
After both the spacecraft and the Earth completed one and a half orbits, it returns to Earth to perform a gravity-assist manoeuvre and is deflected towards Venus.
After the fourth Mercury flyby the craft will be in an orbit similar to that of Mercury and will remain in the general vicinity of Mercury (see video).
Only a small manoeuvre is needed to bring the craft into an orbit around Mercury with an apocentre of 178,000 km.
In 2007, Astrium was selected as the prime contractor, and the Soyuz-Fregat launcher was dropped in favor of Ariane 5 as the estimated mass increased.
The initial target launch of July 2014 was postponed several times, mostly because of delays on the development of the solar electric propulsion.
Its four QinetiQ T6 ion thrusters operate singly or in pairs for a maximum combined thrust of 290 mN, making it the most powerful ion engine array ever operated in space.
The MTM supplies electrical power for the two hibernating orbiters as well as for its solar electric propulsion system thanks to two 14-meter-long solar panels.
Depending on the probe's distance to the Sun, the generated power will range between 7 and 14 kW, each T6 requiring between 2.5 and 4.5 kW according to the desired thrust level.
This leads to a flight profile with months-long continuous low-thrust braking phases, interrupted by planetary gravity assists, to gradually reduce the velocity of the spacecraft.
The Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) will have a mass of and will use a single-sided solar array capable of providing up to 1000 watts and featuring Optical Solar Reflectors to keep its temperature below .
The solar array requires continuous rotation keeping the Sun at a low incidence angle in order to generate adequate power while at the same time limiting the temperature.
The MPO will carry a payload of 11 instruments, comprising cameras, spectrometers (IR, UV, X-ray, γ-ray, neutron), a radiometer, a laser altimeter, a magnetometer, particle analysers, a K-band transponder, and an accelerometer.
The payload components are mounted on the nadir side of the spacecraft to achieve low detector temperatures, apart from the MERTIS and PHEBUS spectrometers located directly at the main radiator to provide a better field of view.
Communications will be on the X and K band with an average bit rate of 50 kbit/s and a total data volume of 1550 Gbit/year.
It has a mass of , including a scientific payload consisting of 5 instrument groups, 4 for plasma and dust measuring run by investigators from Japan, and one magnetometer from Austria.
The sides are covered with solar cells which provide 90 W. Communications with Earth will be through a diameter X band phased array high-gain antenna and two medium-gain antennas operating in the X band.
Telemetry will return 160 Gb/year, about 5 kbit/s over the lifetime of the spacecraft, which is expected to be greater than one year.
At the time of cancellation, MSE was meant to be a small, , lander designed to operate for about one week on the surface of Mercury.
Braking manoeuvres would bring the lander to zero velocity at an altitude of at which point the propulsion unit would be ejected, the airbags inflated, and the module would fall to the surface with a maximum impact velocity of .
The MSE would have carried a payload consisting of an imaging system (a descent camera and a surface camera), a heat flow and physical properties package, an alpha particle X-ray spectrometer, a magnetometer, a seismometer, a soil penetrating device (mole), and a micro-rover.
The Workers' Party of Ireland was also a frequent target of satire and investigation in its 1980s heyday over its funding methods which resulted in John Mulcahy receiving threats from the Official IRA.
More recently, it has been highly critical of the Corrib gas pipeline and supports the Shell to Sea and Pobal Chill Chomáin campaigns against the laying of the pipeline.
It published a supplementary summary and commentary on the Goldstone Report on the siege of Gaza and attacked the actions of the Israeli government over the illegal use of Irish passports in the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, and the Gaza flotilla raid.
Test transmissions began on 27 September 1956, introduced by former 3DB radio announcer Geoff Corke, based at the Mt Dandenong transmitter, as the studios in Richmond were not yet ready.
The station covered the 1956 Summer Olympics which Melbourne hosted., the 1956 Carols By Candlelight and the Davis Cup tennis as part of its test transmissions.
A clip from the ceremony has featured in a number of GTV-9 retrospectives, in which the Governor advises viewers that if they did not like the programs, they could just turn off.
Kennedy was a radio announcer at 3UZ in Melbourne before being 'discovered' by GTV-9 producer Norm Spencer, when appearing on a GTV-9 telethon.
In early 1957 The Argus was acquired by The Herald and Weekly Times Ltd, and the paper was closed on the same day that GTV-9 officially opened.
The Herald in turn sold its interests in the station to Electronic Industries, later acquired by UK television manufacturer Pye, in 1960.
Because of the restriction on foreign ownership of television stations, GTV-9 was then sold to Frank Packer's Australian Consolidated Press, which already owned TCN-9 in Sydney, resulting in the formation of the country's first commercially owned television network.
Son Clyde Packer ran the network for some time, until a falling out led to a handover to younger son Kerry Packer.
In 2010 it was announced to public and then staff, that after 54 years at Bendigo Street, GTV-9 would move day-to-day operations including News and commercial sales to 717 Bourke Street, Docklands.
On 25 October 2010, it was announced that GTV-9 would begin producing larger scale studio productions, such as The Footy Show, Hey Hey its Saturday, and Millionaire Hotseat from the new Docklands Studios Melbourne.
Also while their new fiber link to their transmission site was being completed, a temporary DVB-S2 link was put up on Optus D1, which ceased at the end of the year.
In May, 2012, a lower powered permanent backup DVB-S2 link for their transmission site was re-established on Optus D1, which requires at least a two-metre solid receiving dish.
Tony Jones is the fill-in news presenter for Peter Hitchener on weeknights, with Brett McLeod and Dougal Beatty being the fill-in presenter for Alicia Loxley on weekends.
Naylor's association with Nine lasted 19 years – he retired at the end of 1998, with Naylor replaced by then deputy news presenter Peter Hitchener.
Past weekend sport presenters in recent years have included Leith Mulligan (1999–2006), Heath O'Loughlin (2006–2008), Grant Hackett (2008–2009) and Lisa Andrews (2009–2011).
Beginning in the 1950s Ardon adopted a complex system of symbolic images in his paintings, taken from the Jewish Mystical tradition (Kabbalah), from the Bible and from a tangible reality.
Pupils such as Avigdor Arikha, Yehuda Bacon, Naftali Bezem, Shraga Weil and Shmuel Boneh absorbed these influences and integrated them into their later work.
He attended the University of Breslau from 1885 to 1890, and continued his studies in Munich until 1894, where he became the assistant of Walther Franz Anton von Dyck.
From 1899 to 1909 he worked again as an assistant of von Dyck in Munich; from 1909 to 1910 he was adjunct professor at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena.
The Battle of Idistaviso, sometimes known as a first Battle of Minden or Battle of the Weser River, was fought in 16 AD between Roman legions commanded by Roman emperor Tiberius' heir and adopted son Germanicus, and an alliance of Germanic peoples commanded by Arminius.
The Germanic chief, Arminius, had been instrumental in the organising of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, in which three Roman legions, moving west to winter quarters, were ambushed and annihilated by allied Germanic forces in the deep forests of western Germania.
This defeat plagued the Roman psyche and revenge for this defeat, as well as the neutralisation of the threat of Arminius, were the impetus for Germanicus' campaign.
In the year before the battle, 15 AD, Germanicus had marched against the Chatti and then against the Cherusci under Arminius.
During that campaign, the Romans advanced along the region of the Teutoburg Forest where the legions had been massacred and buried the bones of the Roman soldiers that still lay there.
The Germanic tribes generally avoided open large-scale combat, but by repeated Roman incursions deep into Germanic territory, Germanicus was able to force Arminius, at the head of a large but fractious coalition, into response.
The Romans, along with the Chauci who fought on the Roman side as auxiliaries, defeated the allied Germanic forces, inflicting heavy losses on them.
Many attempting to swim across the Weser died due to a storm of projectiles or by the force of the current.
Many others climbed the tops of trees, and while they were hiding themselves in the boughs, the Romans brought archers up to shoot them down.
The Roman soldiers involved on the battlefield hailed Tiberius as Imperator, and raised a pile of arms as a trophy with the names of the defeated tribes inscribed beneath them.
The sight of the Roman trophy constructed on the battlefield enraged the Germans who were preparing to retreat beyond the Elbe, and they launched an attack on the Roman positions at the Angrivarian Wall, thus beginning a second battle.
Germanicus stated that he did not want any prisoners, as the extermination of the Germanic tribes was the only conclusion he saw for the war.
Afterwards, Germanicus ordered Caius Silius to march against the Chatti with a mixed force of 3,000 cavalry and 33,000 infantry and lay waste of their territory, while he himself, with a larger army, invaded the Marsi for the third time and devastated their land, defeating any foe he encountered.
According to Tacitus, it was taken as certain that the Germanic tribes were considering suing for peace, and that an additional campaign in the next summer would end the war.
They employed it in 14 of their games between 1984 and 1989, before replacing it with a more sophisticated engine, Sierra's Creative Interpreter.
In late 1982, IBM began work on the PCjr, a lower-priced variant of the IBM Personal Computer with improved graphics and sound.
The PCjr's Video Gate Array video adapter could display up to 16 colors at a time—a major improvement over the Color Graphics Adapter's four-color limit.
They ported it to other computing platforms, including the Apple II, Apple II, Macintosh, Amiga, and Atari ST, but the PC remained the primary platform for their games.
Since the SCI engine required a more powerful home computer, Sierra released an AGI version of the game at the same time.
Among SCI's enhancements were a more versatile scripting system, an object-oriented programming model, higher-resolution graphics (320×200 rather than 160×200), a point-and-click interface, and support for additional sound card hardware.
The engine comprised a bespoke programming language called the Game Adaptation Language, a compiler, and a bytecode interpreter (the Adventure Game Interpreter).
The Game Adaptation Language was a high-level programming language that resembled C. This was compiled into bytecode, which was executed by the interpreter.
The PCjr accepted floppy disks with a capacity of 360 kilobytes, and raster graphics would have consumed an excessive amount of disk space.
Beginning with AGI version 2, the game engine drew graphics in an off-screen data buffer, then blitted them into video memory.
This approach was not just to economize use of system resources; it also prevented the game from revealing hidden objects while it drew the screen.
AGI was principally developed for 16-bit computer architectures, which were the state of the art in home computers at the time.
In addition, Sierra ported AGI to three 8-bit computer models: the TRS-80 Color Computer, the Apple IIe, and the Apple IIc.
The National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) is an agency of the government of Thailand which supports research in science and technology and its application in the Thai economy.
Several etymologies of Iðavöllr (a location in Norse mythology) have been proposed, and the meaning of the name is considered unclear.
When Tennille's show was preparing to move from San Francisco's Marines Memorial Theatre to Southern California's South Coast Repertory, a call was put out for a replacement keyboardist.
Dragon was between tours when he heard about the opening, met Tennille in San Francisco to audition, and landed the gig.
Dragon later reciprocated by recommending Tennille to the Beach Boys when the band needed an additional keyboardist, and they hired her.
Realizing their collaborative potential when the tour was over, Tennille and Dragon began performing as a duo at the Smokehouse Restaurant in Encino, California.
A wedding date of Valentine's Day 1974 had long been erroneously reported (on their show, Tennille claimed they were married on Valentine's Day), such as on the February 14, 1976 edition of Casey Kasem's American Top 40.
In July 1976, they were invited by First Lady Betty Ford to perform in the East Room of the White House in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II and President Gerald Ford during the country's bicentennial celebration.
However, despite solid ratings success, the duo wanted to focus on their music and touring career and, after one season, asked to be released from their contract.
The first single from this album, the title track, was performed live (although lip synced) during the 1980 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Throughout the 1990s, they continued to perform various concert dates at venues around the world, frequently at Harrah's Lake Tahoe and Harrah's Reno, which were located close to their home near Carson City, Nevada.
One of their more notable appearances in that decade occurred when they played at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles in 1995, as part of their 20th anniversary as an act.
At the same time throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Tennille enjoyed a second career as a big band and pop standard singer, not unlike pop colleague Linda Ronstadt.
At the end of that project, she and Dragon were to have embarked on a 25th anniversary tour; however, the stresses of the road proved too demanding and Captain & Tennille instead put an indefinite hold on their career as a performing duo.
In 2005, Brant Berry, the vice president of a small Portland, Oregon–based entertainment company, Respond 2 Entertainment (R2), signed an agreement with Captain & Tennille to release three projects.
The first was the home video release of Captain & Tennille's 1976 variety series, on a three-disc DVD set containing 11 complete episodes with bonus musical tracks.
Dragon and Tennille spent most of the 1990s and 2000s living in the Carson City area of Nevada, where they had lived for more than fifteen years, and where Tennille served as Ambassador for the Arts for the state.
In the mid-2000s, they temporarily took year-round residence at their second home, located in the Palm Springs area of Southern California.
In 2008 they sold their home near Carson City, and built a house and settled down in Prescott, Arizona, where Tennille participates in the annual Prescott Jazz Summit.
The divorce documents referenced health insurance or health issues, and Tennille had written on her blog in 2010 that Dragon's neurological condition, similar to Parkinson’s, known as essential tremor, was characterized by such extreme tremors he could no longer play keyboards.
Dragon and Tennille remained close friends until his death from complications of kidney failure on January 2, 2019 in Prescott, Arizona.
Vasili Vasilyevich Kuznetsov (; 5 June 1990) was a Russian Soviet politician who acted as Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union from 1982 to 1983, for a second time in 1984, and for a third time in 1985.
He took a break from his engineering education when he went to the United States to study metal processing at Carnegie Mellon University from 1931 to 1933.
He was Chairman of the Soviet of Nationalities from 12 March 1946 to 12 March 1950 and simultaneously Chairman of the Presidium of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions from 15 March 1944 to 12 March 1953.
On 7 October 1977 he was elected as First Deputy Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, a position he held until 18 June 1986.
Upon the deaths of Leonid Brezhnev (1982), Yuri Andropov (1984) and Konstantin Chernenko (1985), Kuznetsov became acting chairman of the Presidium until the election of a successor.
As a twist of fate, quite a number of now lost sagas now survive in the form of rímur composed based on them, and then the sagas were recomposed based on the corresponding rímur.
In the nineteenth century the poet Jónas Hallgrímsson published an influential critique on a rímur cycle by Sigurður Breiðfjörð and the genre as a whole.
Through the ages numerous authors would probably have agreed with this statement, since there is a substantial number of rímur that were turned into prose sagas.
However, it is worth mentioning that Nordal never denied the importance of rímur as an aspect of the history of literature, and in his lectures specifically emphasized their role in keeping the continuity of Icelandic literature, a subject close to his heart.
British Thomson-Houston (BTH) was a British engineering and heavy industrial company, based at Rugby, Warwickshire, England and founded as a subsidiary of the General Electric Company (GE) of Schenectady, New York, USA.
BTH was taken into British ownership and amalgamated with the similar Metropolitan-Vickers company in 1928 to form Associated Electrical Industries (AEI), but the two brand identities were maintained until 1960.
Each year in Rugby there was a big parade of floats run by its apprentices, many of whom lodged in the nearby Coton House apprentice hostel.
The company Laing, Wharton and Down was formed in 1886 to sell products from Thomson-Houston, an American firm known as the American Electric Corporation until 1883.
In 1894 Laing, Wharton and Down purchased patents and exclusive production rights from the American company, now known as General Electric after Thomson-Houston merged with Edison General Electric Company in 1892.
At this stage Laing, Wharton and Down was renamed as British Thomson-Houston and General Electric became the majority owner of the company.
Once BTH had the production licences for Thomson-Houston's products it started setting up factories in the English Midlands, with Rugby, Warwickshire chosen as the main location due to its good accessibility by rail and a local coal supply.
In 1900 BTH bought Glebe Farm on the west side of Mill Road north of the railway in Rugby for £10,000, from Thos.
In the same year BTH got a licence to produce the Curtis steam turbine, which became one of the company's major products.
In 1905 BTH made its first turbo-alternator and in 1911 got licences for all of General Electric's drawn-wire light bulbs, which it produced under the Mazda trademark.
For much of the late 19th century BTH competed for electrical generation and distribution contracts with British Westinghouse, mirroring the same company's battles in the US between their parents, General Electric and Westinghouse.
On 22 December 1898 BTH opened the Cork Electric Tramways and Lighting Company, followed by the Isle of Thanet Electric Tramways on 4 April 1901 and the Chatham and District Light Railways Company in June 1902.
In 1907 BTH started a joint venture with Wolseley Motors to make petrol-electric buses and in 1909 the company supplied major coal-fired steam generators to London to power an electric trolley system that was being set up.
During World War I BTH expanded into naval electrical equipment, supplying the Royal Navy with various lighting, radio and signalling gear.
In 1926 Gerard Swope, president of General Electric, proposed that BTH, Westinghouse, General Electric Company (GEC) and English Electric should amalgamate.
Lord Hirst of GEC was not interested in Swope's scheme, but a new holding company was formed, Associated Electrical Industries (AEI), and in 1928 AEI bought BTH and Metropolitan-Vickers (Metrovick).
BTH had been in the process of buying Edison Swan (Ediswan) and Ferguson, Pailin & Co, with AEI completing the purchases in 1929.
In the late 1920s AEI started to build buildings west of the footpath that runs north through the AEI site in Rugby to the Leicester Road (known in the area as the Black Path because it was surfaced with cinders).
During World War II BTH expanded north of the River Avon into the Boughton Road site to make magnetos for aircraft engines and other war products.
BTH had a major role in developing the world's first prototype jet engine, which was built by Frank Whittle's Power Jets company built at the BTH works in Rugby in 1937.
BTH's directors seemed skeptical of the design and offered little help, and in 1940 decided they were not really interested in making jet engines due to their commitment to electrical equipment.
Rover was soon selected to make jet engines, but exchanged jet engine production with Rolls-Royce for making tank engines in 1943.
He returned as chairman between 1954 and 1963 and oversaw the opening of a massive new £8 million turbine works was opened at Larne in 1957.
In 1955 AEI acquired Siemens Brothers, which was merged with Edison Swan in 1957 to form the Siemens Edison Swan subsidiary.
Rivalry with Metrovick intensified, particularly after BTH won the contract to build the new Buenos Aires Central Costanera S.A. power station, valued at £35 million, in 1957.
The Ediswan trademark appeared on semiconductors in 1956 and the following year British Rail Class 15 diesel-electric locomotives were designed by BTH.
To try to cure internal political and efficiency problems, AEI stopped using the BTH and Metrovick names on 1 January 1960.
Continued attempts to streamline what was two separate management structures continued to fail, and by the mid-60s the entire AEI group was in financial trouble.
This was followed by the building and commissioning of the 25M Chilbolton (radar) Dish at Chilbolton Observatory between 1963 and 1967.
At this point the size of the Rugby site peaked, with all of the company's land west of the Black Path built over.
GEC-AEI Electronics (Blackbird Road and New Parks, Leicester) was merged with Marconi's Radar Division (Chelmsford) and Elliott's Aerospace Control Division to form Marconi Radar Systems Ltd. (MRSL) in 1969.
The firm's clubhouse on Hillmorton Road was demolished in 2007, and the south edge of its surrounding sports field was encroached along for house building.
Quartzelec, and Converteam worked on electrical engineering projects in some of the early BTH buildings, notably buildings 4, 193 and 140.
In 2012 Converteam was bought out by General Electric, therefore coming full circle back to when they were partnered in AEI.
The research centre was based at Aldermaston Court a large stately home owned by AEI that had been requisitioned for military use in the war era.
One of the BTH-built batch of New Zealand Railways DSC class Bo-Bo shunters has been preserved and is used in industrial service, complete with original Rolls-Royce engines.
The former Central Police Station of Hong Kong, located at the eastern end of Hollywood Road, in Central, Hong Kong has been redeveloped into a cultural and shopping destination generally called Tai Kwun ().
Subsequently in 1925, the two-storey Stable Block was constructed at the north-west end of the parade ground and later used as an armoury.
Many police stations were built during this period due to the large number of people who moved to Hong Kong from mainland China and the corresponding need to maintain law and order.
In the past, the police station was used as the headquarters of the police; however, its importance declined when the new police headquarters was built in Wan Chai after World War II.
It functioned as a police station, dormitory, and prison, and was used as both the Hong Kong Island Regional Police Headquarters and the Central District Police Headquarters until the 2000s.
The compound is bordered on the North by Hollywood Road, on the South by Chancery Lane, on the East by Arbuthnot Road and on the West by Old Bailey Street.
With its long history and antiquated architectural style, the Central Police Station is one of the last physical reminders of Hong Kong's colonial heritage.
The Central Police Station has undergone reconstruction to convert it and the former Central Magistracy to more public use; including food outlets, museums, and art galleries.
By adaptive reuse, the renovated police station compound is intended to become a tourist destination with historical significance, a rarity amongst Hong Kong attractions.
The buildings of Former Central Police Station, the Victoria Prison, and the Former Central Magistracy, are declared monuments of Hong Kong.
Suggested by property developer Swire Properties in 1999, the Economic Development and Labour Bureau called for private sector bidding to convert the building compound into a retail and entertainment complex in 2003.
On 20 October 2010, Hong Kong Jockey Club announced that a heritage-led plan to conserve and revitalise the CPS and transform it into a centre of heritage, arts and leisure.
Herzog & de Meuron, Purcell and Rocco Design collaborated and examined many different alternative schemes in order to establish the best design for adaptive re-use.
In addition to the existing public entrance at Pottinger Gate, an Old Bailey Gate, an Arbuthnot Gate, and a footbridge connection to the Mid-levels Escalator have been constructed to allow access to the site.
Stairs and lifts facilitate pedestrian connectivity between the upper courtyard near Chancery Lane and lower courtyard near Hollywood Road, and between SoHo and Lan Kwai Fong.
In 2016, during the ongoing revitalisation, part of the married inspectors’ quarters, which was built in 1864, collapsed; nobody was injured.
CaMV induces a variety of systemic symptoms such as mosaic, necrotic lesions on leaf surfaces, stunted growth, and deformation of the overall plant structure.
The CaMV particle is an icosahedron with a diameter of 52 nm built from 420 capsid protein (CP) subunits arranged with a triangulation T = 7, which surrounds a solvent-filled central cavity.
CaMV contains a circular double-stranded DNA molecule of about 8.0 kilobases, interrupted by nicks that result from the actions of RNAse H during reverse transcription.
The promoter of the 35S RNA is a very strong constitutive promoter responsible for the transcription of the whole CaMV genome.
Recent study has indicated that the CaMV 35S promoter is also functional in some animal cells, although the promoter elements used are different from those in plants.
The 35S RNA is particularly complex, containing a highly structured 600 nucleotide long leader sequence with six to eight short open reading frames (ORFs).
The mechanism of expression of these proteins is unique, in that the ORF VI protein (encoded by the 19S RNA) controls translation reinitiation of major open reading frames on the polycistronic 35S RNA, a process that normally only happens on bacterial mRNAs.
In addition to its functions regarding translational activation and formation of inclusion bodies, P6 has been shown to interact with a number of other CaMV proteins, such as P2 and P3, suggesting that it may also contribute in some degree to viral assembly and aphid-mediated transmission.
In addition, P6 has been shown to bind to P7; investigating interactions between the two may help to elucidate the as yet unknown function of P7.
NPR1 is an important regulator of salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA)-dependent signaling, and is most closely associated with crosstalk between the two.
Modification of NPR1 serves to inhibit plant cells’ defensive responses by preventing SA-dependent signaling; modified NPR1 can properly traffic to the nucleus and bind the PR-1 promoter, but is unable to initiate transcription.
Whereas regulation of SA-dependent signaling by P6-modified NPR1 is localized to the nucleus, regulation of JA-dependent signaling is cytoplasmic in nature and involves the COI1 pathway.
At this point the new viral genome can either be packaged into capsids and released from the cell or they can be transported by movement proteins into an adjacent, uninfected cell.
The Cauliflower mosaic virus promoter (CaMV 35S) is used in most transgenic crops to activate foreign genes which have been artificially inserted into the host plant.
The CaMV genome has 8 tightly packed genes, of which only two small genes, genes II and VII, are nonessential; as a result, only these two genes can be replaced/deleted without a loss of infectivity.
In addition, modified CaMV genomes exceeding the natural genome size (8024 bp) by even a few hundred bp are not packaged into virions.
The bacterial dihydrofolate reductase DHFR gene has been successfully cloned into the CaMV genome, in place of gene II, and has been successfully expressed in plants.
The P2 N-terminal domain recognizes a protein receptor located at the tip of the stylet and the P2 C-terminal domain binds to the P3-decorated virions.
In host cells, viral protein P2 and P3 are first produced in numerous viral factories (electron-dense inclusion bodies), and are later exported and co-localize with microtubules, before concentrating in ELIB.
While the pregenomic 35S RNA is responsible for genome replication by reverse transcriptase, it also contains a non-coding 600 base pair leader sequence that serves as an important mRNA for the production of factors involved in viral counter-defense.
The products of the aforementioned 600-bp sequence are viral small RNAs (vsRNA) of 21, 22, and 24 nucleotides in length that serve as decoys, binding and inactivating effectors of host silencing machinery, such as Argonaute 1 (AGO1).
Recently, some concerns have been raised about using the CaMV 35S promoter for expression in transgenic plants because sequence overlap exists between this promoter and the coding sequences of P6.
Fifty four transgenic events certified for release in the USA contain up to 528 bp of ORF VI (encoding C-terminal domains of P6).
As P6 is a multifunctional protein whose full range of functions is unknown, there is some concern that expression of one or more of its domains may have unforeseen consequences in the transgenic organisms.
Recent studies have attempted to determine what length of CaMV 35S promoter has the least chance of inadvertently producing P6 domains, while still retaining full promoter activity.
As one might expect, using shorter promoter lengths decreases the number of P6 domains included and also decreases the likelihood of unwanted effects.
3XY began broadcasting on 8 September 1935, the original licence being held by the United Australia Party (and later the Liberal Party).
However, from commencement, 3XY's programs were provided by Efftee Broadcasters Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Efftee Studios, who were one of Australia's first movie makers.
Efftee was owned by Frank Thring Sr., father of internationally renowned actor Frank Thring Jr. Tom Holt, the father of the future Prime Minister of Australia, Harold Holt.
3XY originally broadcast from studios in the former ballroom at the top of the Princess Theatre, Melbourne, but in the early 1960s, the station moved to purpose-built studios in Faraday Street, Carlton; this was the first of a number of subsequent relocations.
Like virtually all broadcasters prior to the introduction of television in Australia and the invention of the transistor radio, 3XY broadcast a variety of programming styles; theoretically providing something of appeal to all its prospective listeners.
3XY was the last commercial radio station to come on air in Melbourne until 3MP began broadcasting in 1976, 41 years later.
By the time 3XY began broadcasting in 1935, most listeners had established their broadcasting patterns and they often continued to listen to 3XY's rivals, which is usually seen as the reason why 3XY was very low in the ratings for some decades.
Despite generally low ratings, there were a few popular programs, including the children's session sponsored by Peters Ice Cream, One Man's Family, Raising a Husband, etc.
The station also produced some top class live variety programs with artists of the calibre of Stella Lamond; Doug McKenzie; Max Reddy, Leslie Ross, etc.
Frank Thring Jr. started his career as both a thespian and radio announcer at 3XY in 1941, as a young man of 15.
Because of the lack of listeners, 3XY did not get as much advertising revenue as some of its rivals, but this was, in part, compensated for by the broadcasting of many sponsored religious programs, particularly on Sunday afternoons, as well as sponsored non-English programs, mainly Italian.
From the commencement of the 1936 Australian rules football season (about seven months after 3XY had first come on air) it became the very first station to broadcast descriptions of Victorian Football Association games.
Prior to 1967, the station had many prominent announcers, as well as a number of broadcasters who would go on to achieve fame at other stations.
In Melbourne, since 1931, 3AK had been broadcasting almost exclusively in the early-morning hours when other stations were off the air.
However, on 1 February 1954, 3AK began broadcasting exclusively during hours of daylight, and concurrently 3DB, 3UZ and 3XY were all given 24-hour licences, but both 3DB and 3UZ had ceased all-night broadcasting within six months.
From 1 July 1967, under the direction of General Manager Bob Baeck the station became Melbourne's dominant music radio station and remained so until the early 1980s, with a Top 40 music radio format, which often topped the ratings.
During this period, there was a head-on battle for the lucrative Top 40 market between 3XY, by then managed by Rod Muir, and Rhett Walker's 3AK.
After losing the ratings and financial battle with FM rivals 3EON and 3FOX, the 3XY licence was bought in late 1989 by the parent company of BAY-FM, a Geelong based station which was then just about to come on air.
When BAY-FM commenced broadcasting in December 1989, 3XY briefly simulcast the BAY-FM overnight programs, retaining its rock music format during the day.
However, once new studios in Corio Bay were completed, Bay FM and 3XY began full-time simulcasting, 3XY breaking only for coverage of Australian Football League (AFL) games, which they were contracted to cover.
While the two stations remained in their Corio studios, Bay FM relaunched with an easy listening format, with 3XY retaining its soft rock format.
In 1991, 3XY was sold to AWA Limited, owners of 2CH Sydney and other stations, who almost immediately shut the station down and re-opened it seven months later as 3EE.
The final on-air program as 3XY was a one-hour pre-recorded special, commissioned by AWA and produced and presented by music historian Glenn A. Baker.
AWA formally applied for a change of callsign from 3XY to 3EE and a change of frequency from 1422 kHz to 693 kHz.
Some programs garnered a loyal following but overall the station failed to gain a commercially viable audience in its target demographic of people aged 40+.
AWA had a three-year strategy to grow the 3EE audience, but in 1993 the company decided to exit the commercial broadcasting sector and concentrate on its core business of electronics design and manufacture.
A few months later in 1994, AWA sold 3EE's sister station in Sydney 2CH, bringing to an end AWA's 70 years in radio broadcasting.
On 13 April 2015, the station's entire on air line-up, and most of the programming and production team, was made redundant, as the result of the merger of Fairfax Media's radio assets and the Macquarie Radio Network.
The launch of Talking Lifestyle into the Melbourne and Brisbane market followed 18 months of development by Macquarie Media and a soft launch in the Sydney market in September 2016 through 2UE.
On Wednesday 4 April 2018, the three Talking Lifestyle branded stations relaunched with a new sports radio format under the name Macquarie Sports Radio with coverage of the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
As an illegitimate son could not obtain a desirable wife by conventional means, he chose to kidnap his future wife Judith of Schweinfurt (), a daughter of the Bavarian noble Henry of Schweinfurt, Margrave of Nordgau, in 1019 at Schweinfurt.
The partition of Bohemia between Oldřich and his brother Jaromír in 1034 was probably the reason why Bretislav fled beyond the Bohemian border, only to come back to take the throne after Jaromír’s abdication.
In 1039, he invaded Lesser and Greater Poland, captured Poznań, sacked Gniezno, and brought the relics of St. Adalbert, Radim Gaudentius and the Five Brothers back with him.
His main goal was to set up an archbishopric in Prague and create a large state subject only to the Holy Roman Empire.
His raid had an unintended enduring influence on Polish history, as the plundering and destruction of Gniezno pushed the next Polish rulers to move their capital to Kraków, which would retain this role for many centuries ahead.
In 1040, the German King Henry III invaded Bohemia, but was forced to retreat after he lost the Battle at Brůdek (a pass in the Bohemian Forest).
Forced by a mutiny among his nobles and betrayed by Bishop Šebíř of Prague, Bretislav had to renounce all of his conquests save for Moravia and recognize Henry III as his sovereign.
This pact worked in Bretislav's favour, as the Polish ruler swore never again to attack Bohemia in return for an annual subsidy to Gniezno.
Bretislav was the author of decrees concerning the rules of Christianization, which included a ban on polygamy and trade on holidays.
In 1054, he established rules for the ducal succession and issued the famous Seniority Law that introduced agnatic seniority for order of succession.
The result of this succession policy was the relative indivisibility of the Czech lands, but also bitter conflicts over succession and territorial primacy between members of the dynasty.
It was effectively ended by the elevation of Bohemia to the status of a kingdom under Ottokar I of Bohemia, which led to the establishment of primogeniture as the ruling principle for succession rights.
Bretislav died at Chrudim in 1055 during preparations for another invasion of Hungary and was succeeded by his son Spytihněv II as Duke of Bohemia.
His sons Otto and Vratislav were shut out of the government by Spytihněv, but after his death both gained control of Moravia and Bohemia, respectively.
Judith was a desirable bride, but Oldřich of Bohemia had only one son, Bretislav, and he was of illegitimate birth, thus complicating the prospect of a marriage with the high-born Judith.
Their first son Spytihněv was born after almost ten years, which led to the hypothesis that the kidnapping happened in 1029, although Judith may have given birth to daughters before her first son.
Bretislav I was buried in the old St. Vitus Church in Prague, founded by Wenceslaus I in 930, and his tomb is now situated in the Chapel of St. Wenceslaus in the St. Vitus Cathedral built in the 1344–66 period.
Bretislav I was depicted in the fresco composition of the Přemyslid dynasty at the Znojmo Rotunda, painted in the 1134–61 period.
TEN often lagged in the ratings behind the more established commercial channels TCN (Nine) and ATN (Seven) who had dominated viewing habits in Sydney for eight years.
TEN launched Australia's first metropolitan nightly one-hour news bulletin in 1975, while NBN-3 in Newcastle was first to air a one-hour news service in Australia in 1972.
In 1978, Katrina Lee became only the third female TV newsreader on Australian TV – the first being Melody Illiffe on QTQ-9.
TEN commenced digital television transmission in January 2001, broadcasting on VHF Channel 11 while maintaining analogue transmission on VHF Channel 10.
These studios feature a large open plan newsroom and news-set where all Ten's national and local Sydney news bulletins are produced.
When TEN-10 opened in 1965, it operated from newly built studio facilities at North Ryde, these were sold in the 1990s when the network underwent financial turmoil.
Following the move from North Ryde in 1990, TEN relocated to a small warehouse in Ultimo, and then to new studios in nearby Pyrmont in May 1997.
Most series are produced on location or at external studios by external companies, but a few programs are made in-house by TEN.
The 5pm bulletin was presented for almost eleven years by Ron Wilson and Jessica Rowe, between 1996 and 2005, when Rowe moved to present the Nine Network's Today.
Knight was replaced by Sully in October 2011 following the axing of the network's long-running late night news program, as a result with Knight's decision to move to the Nine Network.
Sully became sole anchor after Bill Woods' departure on 30 November 2012, following the network's decision not to renew his contract.
Later in 1967 an instrumental version by jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery became his biggest Hot 100 hit when it peaked at No.
Ramos said Ruthann Friedman had written the song about a man, and that the Association changed the lyrics to make it about a woman.
The song was also performed on Sesame Street by the anything muppet Tony, where he sang about his girlfriend who is played the Beautiful Day Monster.
This included the edition of the show featuring the Bill Grundy/Sex Pistols incident, after which the band danced to the song as the end credits rolled.
As a term, revanchism originated in 1870s France in the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War among nationalists who wanted to avenge the French defeat and reclaim the lost territories of Alsace-Lorraine.
Extreme revanchist ideologues often represent a hawkish stance, suggesting that their desired objectives can be achieved through the positive outcome of another war.
Revanchist politics often rely on the identification of a nation with a nation state, often mobilizing deep-rooted sentiments of ethnic nationalism, claiming territories outside the state where members of the ethnic group live, while using heavy-handed nationalism to mobilize support for these aims.
French revanchism was a deep sense of bitterness, hatred and demand for revenge against Germany, especially because of the loss of Alsace and Lorraine following defeat in the Franco-Prussian War.
This ultranationalist tradition influenced French politics up to 1921 and was one of the major reasons France went to great pains to woo the Russian Empire, resulting in the Franco-Russian Alliance of 1894 and, after more accords, the Triple Entente of the three great Allied powers of World War I: France, Great Britain, and Russia.
French revanchism influenced the Treaty of Versailles of 1919 following the end of World War I, which restored Alsace-Lorraine to France and extracted reparations from the defeated Germany.
A German revanchist movement developed in response to the losses of World War I. Pan-Germanists within the Weimar Republic called for the reclamation of the property of a German state due to pre-war borders or because of the territory's historical relation to Germanic peoples.
The movement called for the reincorporation of Alsace-Lorraine, the Polish Corridor and the Sudetenland (see Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia—parts of the Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary until its dismemberment after World War I).
Ethnographic Lithuania was an early 20th-century concept that defined Lithuanian territories as a significant part of the territories that belonged to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Lithuanians as all people living on them, regardless of whether those people spoke Lithuanian or and considered themselves Lithuanian.
They argued that individuals cannot decide on his ethnicity and nationality and that it is related to not their language but their ancestry.
For most of the rests of the 1800s there was talk but few practical plans and little political will to reclaim Finland from Russia.
During the Crimean War in 1853 to 1856, the Allied nations initiated talks with Sweden to allow troop and fleet movements through Swedish ports to be used against Russia.
The annexation of the Crimean peninsula by the Russian Federation in April 2014, together with accusations by Western and Ukrainian leaders that Russia is supporting separatist actions by ethnic Russians in the secessionist Donbass region, has been cited by a number of prominent media outlets in the West as evidence of a revanchist policy on the part of the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
From the total of stars known to have exoplanets (as of ), there are a total of known multiplanetary systems, or stars with at least two confirmed planets, beyond the Solar System.
The stars with the most confirmed planets are our Sun and Kepler-90 with 8 each confirmed planets, while the stars with the most confirmed exoplanets, after Kepler-90, are HD 10180, HR 8832 and TRAPPIST-1, with 7 each; in 2012, two more candidates were suggested for HD 10180.
A total of 12 systems are known that are closer than 50 light years away, but most are much farther away.
However, although low metallicity stars tend to have fewer massive planets, particularly hot-Jupiters, they also tend to have a larger number of close in planets, orbiting at less than 1 AU.
He was inspired by Michelangelo Buonarroti, Gian Lorenzo Bernini and by the Venetian sculptural school of the 17th century and thus became a great propagator of the Italian-provenience sculpture in the Central-European context.
Some time before 1710, Braun came to visit Prague, already as a full-fledged artist creating from sandstone, and soon he became domestic in Bohemia.
Braun then was able to found the biggest workshop in Prague, employing six journeymen and having an income of 900 golden a year around 1725.
Soon, he himself could not manage the number of new commissions for Prague palaces, gardens, churches and many other places in Bohemia, a situation worsened by the progressing tuberculosis.
That is why he only created the designs and models, had his cooperators realize them and completed the work into the final appearance.
The submarines were built between 1957 and 1978 by four shipyards: Cammell Laird (4), Chatham Dockyard (6), Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company (11) and Vickers-Armstrongs (6).
Thirteen of the submarines were operated by the Royal Navy, six by the Royal Australian Navy, three by the Brazilian Navy, three by the Royal Canadian Navy/Canadian Forces Maritime Command (plus two ex-Royal Navy boats later acquired for non-commissioned roles), and two by the Chilean Navy.
As of 2015, eight of the submarines are preserved intact as museum vessels, another three are partially preserved (with some exterior portions of the submarine on display), and one is in private ownership and awaiting conversion for display.
Instead of UXW steel, the hull was built from QT28 steel, which was easier to fabricate and stronger, allowing the submarine to dive deeper.
The submarines were equipped with a type 1002 surface search and navigation radar, a type 187 active-passive attack sonar, and a type 2007 long-range passive sonar.
The submarine normally carried a payload of 20 torpedoes for the forward tubes; a mix of Mark 24 Tigerfish and Mark 8 torpedoes, while only the two preloaded Mark 20S torpedoes were carried for the stern tubes.
Naval mines could be carried instead of torpedoes: the torpedo payload would be replaced with up to 50 Mark 5 Stonefish or Mark 6 Sea Urchin mines.
The forward torpedo tubes are constructed in two sections bolted together across the bulkhead at the fore end of the torpedo compartment.
The internal door hinges at one side with two locking mechanisms, a swing bolt opposite the hinge and a rotating locking ring attached to the tube which presses down on the ten projecting lugs around the door.
Bow shutters close across the bow caps so as to preserve the streamlined shape of the bow when the cap is closed.
Interlocks prevent the doors at both ends being opened at the same time but the inner door is also provided with a test cock to check whether the tube is full of water before opening and remains held nearly closed by the swing bolt after the locking ring is released.
The tube internal diameter is 22.5 in, wider than the torpedo, which is designed as a loose fit inside the tube.
With the retirement of the Mark 20S torpedo in the 1980s, the stern torpedo tubes were decommissioned and thereafter used for storing beer.
The diesel engines can only be operated with external ventilation, but this can be obtained either while on the surface or when shallowly submerged by use of two snorkels which can be raised from the fin.
The generators are cooled by an internal fan on the shaft which circulates air through a filter and water-cooled heat exchanger within the casing.
The generator has one pedestal bearing fed with oil from the diesel engine lubrication supply and is fitted with an internal heater to prevent condensation when not running.
All steelwork within the battery compartments is lined with rubber to protect the metal from attack by acid, and also all conducting material is insulated to prevent risks of electric shock.
Waxed timber is used to make framing and crawlways to access the batteries and support them because of its resistance to acid.
Each cell has four connector bolts to each electrode and an agitator pipe which bubbles air through the cell to ensure the electrolyte remains mixed and uniform.
Every two months, the battery should be given an equalising charge of eight hours to ensure all cells have reached their maximum.
Initial charging current should be around 1650 amps for s.g. below 1.180, 1250 A above 1.180, falling to 280 A when charging is complete.
At a voltage around 538 V, the cells begin to give off explosive hydrogen gas, so the applied power is reduced during charging to keep voltage below this value until current falls to 280 A, which is then maintained while voltage is allowed to rise until the requisite voltage and charge time are reached.
To maintain overall capacity, batteries need to be completely discharged over a five-hour period once every four months and then completely recharged.
The battery compartments are sealed to prevent gases escaping into the submarine, or salt water entering, which inside a battery would cause the release of poisonous chlorine gas.
Ventilation fans are used to extract hydrogen released by the cells and catalytic converters are placed strategically through the submarine to remove hydrogen from the air by recombining it with oxygen to form water.
Slowest speed is obtained by connecting both batteries in parallel, thus supplying 440 V, across all four motor armatures in series, thus applying 110 V to each ('shafts in series').
Next, the batteries in parallel may be applied across the two motors in parallel, with their armatures in series ('group down').
Finally, the batteries can be arranged in series so as to apply 880 V across all four armatures in parallel ('batteries in series').
Each armature also has an associated field winding which is separately supplied with current which may be varied resistively, providing further speed control (maximum 35 A).
A fan draws air from the engine room through the motor to cool it and returns the exhaust air to the engine room through a water-cooled heat exchanger.
The engine is also fitted with a heater to keep it warm when not running so as to prevent condensation internally.
The batteries provide variable DC power (VP), which ranges in normal usage from 390 to 650 V. Pumps for ballast, water, air compressors, ventilation, cooling, and hydraulics are all designed to cope with this supply range, but some equipment cannot.
The boat, therefore, is supplied with two sets of auxiliary motor generators designed to be powered by the batteries and produce stable output, one set powered by each main battery.
A 220 V DC supply (CP) is provided by two generators, one supplied from each battery with either being sufficient by itself.
Two 60 Hz three-phase alternators provide power for equipment designed to work off 115 or 230 V AC and two more 15 kW 400 Hz generators provide power at 205 V AC used by radar, sonar, fire control, and communications electronics.
In the event of damage to the main electrical distribution system, provision is made for one of the CP generators to be connected directly to one armature of the port motor, to provide some propulsion by alternative circuitry.
She was escorted back to UK at 5 kn after hitting an undetected submerged reef which damaged two of its torpedo tubes, trapping a Tigerfish torpedo.
Beginning in 1957, Canada began looking at acquiring submarines to replace the training 6th Submarine Division provided by the Royal Navy at Halifax, Nova Scotia.
A proposal was submitted to the Canadian Chiefs of Staff in November 1959 affirming the need for a Canadian submarine service and to incorporate the acquisition of the subs into the fleet renewal plan of the late 1950s.
On 11 April 1962, the purchase was announced in the House of Commons of Canada by the Minister of National Defence, Douglas Harkness.
The Conservative government was defeated in 1963 and the incoming Liberal government suspended all major defence procurement projects upon taking power.
The second and third hulls were built to Canadian specifications, which moved the galley forward of the control room to make room for the sonar equipment.
This led to the removal of three crew bunks, a problem that was never rectified in the submarines and led to an accommodation issue for the crew.
In an effort to take the subs from anti-submarine warfare training to frontline service, Maritime Command developed a refit program that included new sonars, periscopes, communications and fire-control systems.
The Submarine Operational Update Program (SOUP) was developed to deal with the operational capability of the submarines along with a Logistic Support Agreement (LSA) to acquire more spare parts.
The SOUP refits comprised a new US fire control system, a digital Singer Librascope Mark I, and new Sperry passive ranging sonar with the Type 719 short range sonar removed.
The submarines were fitted with new torpedo tubes for Mk 48 torpedoes; however, the torpedoes themselves were considered a separate procurement program, which was only finalised in 1985.
With a length of 90 meters and a displacement of 2,030 tons surfaced and 2,410 tons submerged, the submarines had a 6,000 bhp engine to power them.
This included placing divers under the casing for further covert movement, or disembarking special forces teams using kayaks or inflatable boats.
Two have been partially preserved as monuments, while another five are awaiting conversion for museum work, or are otherwise awaiting disposal.
is located at the Western Australian Maritime Museum at Fremantle, while is located at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour, Sydney.
was purchased for C$4 plus tax by the Site historique maritime de la Pointe-au-Père for use as a museum vessel, and was towed from Halifax to Pointe-au-Père, Quebec in July 2008.
She was moved to Port Burwell, Ontario in November 2012, and will become a focal point of a new Museum of Naval History.
The Chilean Navy sold to the city of Valdivia in 2002, to be converted into the first submarine museum of Chile.
The submarine went through a series of modifications in the ASENAV shipyards during that year, and as of December 2017, is already on display at the end of Avenida Costanera Arturo Prat, in front of the Corte de Apelaciones building.
Anosognosia results from physiological damage to brain structures, typically to the parietal lobe or a diffuse lesion on the fronto-temporal-parietal area in the right hemisphere, and is thus a neuropsychiatric disorder.
Anosognosia is sometimes accompanied by asomatognosia, a form of neglect in which patients deny ownership of body parts such as their limbs.
That is it can be manifested by failure to be aware of a number of specific deficits, including motor (hemiplegia), sensory (hemianaesthesia, hemianopia), spatial (unilateral neglect), memory (dementia), and language (receptive aphasia) due to impairment of anatomo-functionally discrete monitoring systems.
Anosognosia is relatively common following different causes of brain injury, such as stroke and traumatic brain injury; for example, anosognosia for hemiparesis, (weakness of one side of the body) with onset of acute stroke is estimated at between 10% and 18%.
It is more frequent in the acute than in the chronic phase and more prominent for assessment in the cases with right hemispheric lesions than with the left.
The condition does not seem to be directly related to sensory loss but is thought to be caused by damage to higher level neurocognitive processes that are involved in integrating sensory information with processes that support spatial or bodily representations (including the somatosensory system).
Anosognosia is thought to be related to unilateral neglect, a condition often found after damage to the non-dominant (usually the right) hemisphere of the cerebral cortex in which people seem unable to attend to, or sometimes comprehend, anything on a certain side of their body (usually the left).
Anosognosia can be selective in that an affected person with multiple impairments may seem unaware of only one handicap, while appearing to be fully aware of any others.
This phenomenon of double dissociation can be an indicator of domain-specific disorders of awareness modules, meaning that in anosognosia, brain damage can selectively impact the self-monitoring process of one specific physical or cognitive function rather than a spatial location of the body.
There are also studies showing that the maneuver of vestibular stimulation could temporarily improve both the syndrome of spatial unilateral neglect and of anosognosia for left hemiplegia.
Combining the findings of hemispheric asymmetry to the right, association with spatial unilateral neglect, and the temporal improvement on both syndromes, it is suggested there can be a spatial component underlying the mechanism of anosognosia for motor weakness and that neural processes could be modulated similarly.
There were some cases of anosognosia for right hemiplegia after left hemisphere damage, but the frequency of this type of anosognosia has not been estimated.
Anosognosia may occur as part of receptive aphasia, a language disorder that causes poor comprehension of speech and the production of fluent but incomprehensible sentences.
This may be a result of brain damage to the posterior portion of the superior temporal gyrus, believed to contain representations of word sounds.
Other patients with receptive aphasia are fully aware of their condition and speech inhibitions, but cannot monitor their condition, which is not the same as anosognosia and therefore cannot explain the occurrence of neologistic jargon.
Although largely used to describe unawareness of impairment after brain injury or stroke, the term 'anosognosia' is occasionally used to describe the lack of insight shown by some people with anorexia nervosa.
E. Fuller Torrey, a psychiatrist and schizophrenia researcher, has stated that among those with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, anosognosia is the most prevalent reason for not taking medications.
However, neither of the existing questionnaires applied in the clinics are designed thoroughly for evaluating the multidimensional nature of this clinical phenomenon; nor are the responses obtained via offline questionnaire capable of revealing the discrepancy of awareness observed from their online task performance.
The discrepancy is noticed when patients showed no awareness of their deficits from the offline responses to the questionnaire but demonstrated reluctance or verbal circumlocution when asked to perform an online task.
For example, patients with anosognosia for hemiplegia may find excuses not to perform a bimanual task even though they do not admit it is because of their paralyzed arms.
A similar situation can happen on patients with anosognosia for cognitive deficits after traumatic brain injury when monitoring their errors during the tasks regarding their memory and attention (online emergent awareness) and when predicting their performance right before the same tasks (online anticipatory awareness).
It can also occur among patients with dementia and anosognosia for memory deficit when prompted with dementia-related words, showing possible pre-attentive processing and implicit knowledge of their memory problems.
Patients with anosognosia may also overestimate their performance when asked in first-person formed questions but not from a third-person perspective when the questions referring to others.
When assessing the causes of anosognosia within stroke patients, CT scans have been used to assess where the greatest amount of damage is found within the various areas of the brain.
Stroke patients with mild and severe levels of anosognosia (determined by response to an anosognosia questionnaire) have been linked to lesions within the temporoparietal and thalamic regions, when compared to those who experience moderate anosognosia, or none at all.
In contrast, after a stroke, people with moderate anosognosia have a higher frequency of lesions involving the basal ganglia, compared to those with mild or severe anosognosia.
As with unilateral neglect, caloric reflex testing (squirting ice cold water into the left ear) is known to temporarily ameliorate unawareness of impairment.
It is not entirely clear how this works, although it is thought that the unconscious shift of attention or focus caused by the intense stimulation of the vestibular system temporarily influences awareness.
Another commonly used method is the use of feedback – comparing clients' self-predicted performance with their actual performance on a task in an attempt to improve insight.
Neurorehabilitation is difficult because, as anosognosia impairs the patient's desire to seek medical aid, it may also impair their ability to seek rehabilitation.
In the acute phase, very little can be done to improve their awareness, but during this time, it is important for the therapist to build a therapeutic alliance with patients by entering their phenomenological field and reducing their frustration and confusion.
In regard to psychiatric patients, empirical studies verify that, for individuals with severe mental illnesses, lack of awareness of illness is significantly associated with both medication non-compliance and re-hospitalization.
Fifteen percent of individuals with severe mental illnesses who refuse to take medication voluntarily under any circumstances may require some form of coercion to remain compliant because of anosognosia.
One study of voluntary and involuntary inpatients confirmed that committed patients require coercive treatment because they fail to recognize their need for care.
Anosognosia is also closely related to other cognitive dysfunctions that may impair the capacity of an individual to continuously participate in treatment.
Other research has suggested that attitudes toward treatment can improve after involuntary treatment and that previously committed patients tend later to seek voluntary treatment.
Zé Arigó (pseudonym of José Pedro de Freitas 18 October 1921 – 11 January 1971) was a faith healer and proponent of psychic surgery.
He claimed to have performed psychic surgery with his hands or with simple kitchen utensils while in a mediumistic trance, therefore he was also known as the Surgeon of the Rusty Knife.
Zé Arigó was born José Pedro de Freitas on a farm located 6 kilometers from Congonhas do Campo, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
One day he felt that the voice that had been pursuing him took over his body, and he had a vision of a bald man, dressed in a white apron and supervising a team of doctors and nurses in an enormous operating room.
His reputation soared and spread throughout Brazil after it was alleged that he had removed a cancerous tumor from the lung of a well-known Brazilian senator.
Over the next twenty years, thousands of people who mistrusted traditional medicine, or had not found help in it, came to Congonhas in search of a cure.
For the purpose of this article, they are listed in the order they are passed when crossing the bridge from the Old Town to the Lesser Quarter, and are divided into two categories: those on the north side of the bridge and those on the south side.
In 1695, a statue depicting the lamentation of Christ by Jan Brokoff was installed here; this was removed to the Monastery of Gracious Nurses under Petřín hill in Prague in 1859 and replaced by the current statue.
The original sculpture was commissioned of the Faculty of Theology and Philosophy of Charles University, but fell into the river during the floods of 1890.
The statue depicts an Indian and a Japanese prince being baptized by the saint, along with a Moor in chains and a Tatar.
The statue was originally conceived by Count Antonín Sporck, who wanted to build a marble statue as tribute to Charles VI in 1720.
The sculpture was erected on the bridge in 1784 to replace the statue of St. Wenceslas damaged in the floods in that year.
The statue depicts St. Ludmila teaching her grandson, St. Wenceslas and the base contains a relief sculpture showing the murder of St. Wenceslas.
Vincent and Procopius stands a column with a sculpture of Bruncvik, (a mythical Bohemian knight inspired by the Saxonian and Bavarian knight Henry the Lion from Brunswick), portrayed helping a lion fight a seven-headed dragon.
This replaced a statue of Roland, erected in 1502, and was intended to remind passers-by of the Old Town's privileges to the bridge, in particular the right to charge tolls and duty.
The saint is represented with a prelate stick developing into a sea paddle and is standing on a base decorated with angels and the emblem of the donor.
The sculpture was intended to honour the two founders of the Trinitarians, the order that supervised buying back and redeeming of Christians in captivity under Turks.
The statue portrays the Madonna giving the Rosary to St. Dominic on the left, with St. Thomas Aquinas standing to the right.
A new crucifix with a wooden corpus was erected in 1629 but was severely damaged by the Swedes towards the end of the Thirty Years' War.
Bought in Dresden, this crucifix was originally made in 1629 by H. Hillger based upon a design by W. E. Brohn.
In 1666, two lead figures were added, but these were replaced in 1861 by the present sandstone statues by Emanuel Max, portraying the Virgin Mary and John the Evangelist.
A bronze tablet with explanatory text in Czech, English and Hebrew was mounted under the statue by the City of Prague in 2000.
The tablet's placement came after an American Rabbi, Ronald Brown of Temple Beth Am in Merrick, New York was passing over the bridge and noted the possibly offensive nature of the placing of the text.
The original statue of St. Ignatius which stood here, designed by Ferdinand Brokoff in 1711, was displaced by the floods of 1890 and can now be found in the Prague lapidarium.
This replaces a statue by Jan Brokoff, portraying the Baptism of Jesus by St. John, which stood in this position between 1706 and 1848.
The saint is presented in a traditional way, as a bearded capitulary with a five-star glory, standing on a tripartite base.
The base portrays scenes from the life of St. John of Nepomuk, including the confession of Queen Johanna and the saint's death.
In modern times it has become traditional to touch the bridge here; this is held to bring good fortune and to ensure that the visitor will return to the city of Prague.
It was sculpted by Jan Oldřich Mayer in 1708 and paid for by František Sezima, the knight Mitrovský from Nemyšle and Jeřichovice.
The Saint, founder of the religious order of Theatins, is portrayed holding a book and standing before an obelisk representing the Trinity.
The magnetic quantum number distinguishes the orbitals available within a subshell, and is used to calculate the azimuthal component of the orientation of orbital in space.
The four quantum numbers formula_1, formula_2, formula_3, and formula_4 specify the complete and unique quantum state of a single electron in an atom called its wavefunction or orbital.
Because values of the azimuth angle formula_8 differing by 2formula_9 (360 degrees in radians) represent the same position in space, and the overall magnitude of formula_6 does not grow with arbitrarily large formula_8 as it would for a real exponent, the coefficient formula_12 must be quantized to integer multiples of formula_13, producing an imaginary exponent: formula_14.
The same constant appears in the colatitude equation, where larger values of formula_3 tend to decrease the magnitude of formula_16, and values of formula_3 greater than the azimuthal quantum number formula_2 do not permit any solution for formula_16.
The formula for the quantum number of each quantum state uses Planck's reduced constant, which only allows particular or discrete or quantized energy levels.
The magnetic quantum number formula_29 only affects the electron's energy if it is in a magnetic field because in the absence of one, all spherical harmonics corresponding to the different arbitrary values of formula_29 are equivalent.
However, the actual magnetic dipole moment of an electron in an atomic orbital arrives not only from the electron angular momentum, but also from the electron spin, expressed in the spin quantum number.
Since each electron has a magnetic moment in a magnetic field, it will be subject to a torque which tends to make the vector formula_21 parallel to the field, a phenomenon known as Larmor precession.
Mostar (, , ) is a city and the administrative center of Herzegovina-Neretva Canton of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, an entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Old Bridge, built by the Ottomans in the 16th century, is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most visited landmarks, and is considered an exemplary piece of Islamic architecture in the Balkans.
Human settlements on the river Neretva, between the Hum Hill and the Velež Mountain, have existed since prehistory, as witnessed by discoveries of fortified enceintes and cemeteries.
As far as medieval Mostar goes, although the Christian basilicas of late antiquity remained in use, few historical sources were preserved and not much is known about this period.
The name of Mostar was first mentioned in a document dating from 1474, taking its name from the bridge-keepers (mostari); this refers to the existence of a wooden bridge from the market on the left bank of the river which was used by traders, soldiers, and other travelers.
Since Mostar was on the trade route between the Adriatic and the mineral-rich regions of central Bosnia, the settlement began to spread to the right bank of the river.
Prior to 1474 the names of two towns appear in medieval historical sources, along with their later medieval territories and properties – the towns of Nebojša and Cimski grad.
It was at the center of this area, which in 1408 belonged to Radivojević, that Cim Fort was built (prior to 1443).
Prior to 1444, the Nebojša Tower was built on the left bank of the Neretva, which belonged to the late medieval county still known as Večenike or Večerić.
Later becoming the city's symbol, the Old Bridge was designed by Mimar Hayruddin, a student and apprentice of Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan.
I, a poor and miserable slave of Allah, have passed through 16 countries, but I have never seen such a high bridge.
Austria-Hungary took control over Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878 and ruled the country until the aftermath of World War I in 1918, when it became part of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs and then Yugoslavia.
In 1881 the town became the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Mostar-Duvno and in 1939, it became a part of the Banovina of Croatia.
The city was a major industrial and tourist center and prospered economically during the time of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
After Bosnia and Herzegovina declared independence from Yugoslavia in April 1992, the town was besieged by the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA), following clashes between the JNA and Croat forces.
On 7 June the Croatian Army (HV) launched an offensive code named Operation Jackal, the objective of which was to relieve Mostar and break the JNA siege of Dubrovnik.
By 12 June the HVO secured the western part of the city and by 21 June the VRS was completely pushed out from the eastern part.
Among them were the Catholic Cathedral of Mary, Mother of the Church, the Franciscan Church and Monastery, the Bishop's Palace and 12 out of 14 mosques in the city.
After the VRS was pushed from the city, the Serbian Orthodox Žitomislić Monastery and the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity were demolished.
In early 1993 the Croat–Bosniak War escalated and by mid-April 1993 Mostar had become a divided city with the western part dominated by HVO forces and the eastern part controlled by the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBiH).
The Croat–Bosniak conflict ended with the signing of the Washington Agreement in 1994, and the Bosnian War ended with the Dayton Agreement in 1995.
Examples include the Italianate Franciscan church, the Ottoman Muslibegovića house, the Dalmatian Ćorović House and an Orthodox church which was built as gift from the Sultan.
Administrators and bureaucrats – many of them indigenous people who converted from Christianity to Islam – founded mosque complexes that generally included Koranic schools, soup kitchens or markets.
Out of the thirteen original mosques dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, seven have been lost during the 20th century for ideological reasons or by bombardment.
One of the two 19th-century Orthodox churches has also disappeared, while the early 20th-century synagogue, after suffering severe damage in the World War II, has been converted into a theatre.
A number of surviving late Ottoman houses demonstrate the component features of this form of domestic architecture – upper storey for residential use, hall, paved courtyard, and verandah on one or two storeys.
A number of early trading and craft buildings still exist, notably some low shops in wood or stone, stone storehouses, and a group of former tanneries round an open courtyard.
Namely the Hercegusa Tower dating from the medieval period, whereas the Ottoman defence edifices are represented by the Halebinovka and Tara Towers – the watchtowers on the ends of the Old Bridge, and a stretch of the ramparts.
During the period of Austro-Hungarian rule (1878–1918), Mostar’s city council cooperated with the Austro-Hungarians to implement sweeping reforms in city planning: broad avenues and an urban grid were imposed on the western bank of the Neretva, and significant investments were made in infrastructure, communications and housing.
City administrators like Mustafa Mujaga Komadina were central players in these transformations, which facilitated growth and linked the eastern and western banks of the city.
Noteworthy examples of Austro-Hungarian architecture include the Municipality building, which was designed by the architect Josip Vancaš from Sarajevo, Residential districts around the Rondo, and Gimnazija Mostar from 1902 designed by František Blažek.
Between 1948 and 1974 the industrial base was expanded with construction of a metal-working factory, cotton textile mills, and an aluminum plant.
Skilled workers, both men and women, entered the work force and the social and demographic profile of the city was broadened dramatically; between 1945 and 1980, Mostar’s population grew from 18,000 to 100,000.
Because Mostar’s eastern bank was burdened by inadequate infrastructure, the city expanded on the western bank with the construction of large residential blocks.
Commercial buildings in the functionalist style appeared on the historic eastern side of the city as well, replacing more intimate timber constructions that had survived since Ottoman times.
In the 1970s and 1980s, a healthy local economy fueled by foreign investment spurred recognition and conservation of the city’s cultural heritage.
An economically sustainable plan to preserve the old town of Mostar was implemented by the municipality, which drew thousands of tourists from the Adriatic coast and invigorated the economy of the city.
The Old Bridge was completed in 1566 and was hailed as one of the greatest architectural achievement in the Ottoman controlled Balkans.
This single-arch stone bridge is an exact replica of the original bridge that stood for over 400 years and that was designed by Hajrudin, a student of the great Ottoman architect Sinan.
The Halebija and Tara towers have always housed the guardians of the bridge and during Ottoman times were also used as storehouses for ammunition.
The bridge footpath and the approaching roads are paved with cobblestones, as is the case with the main roads in the town.
During the armed conflict between Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats in the Bosnian War in the 1990s, the bridge was destroyed by the HVO (Croatian Defence Council).
The Old Bazaar, Kujundziluk is named after the goldsmiths who traditionally created and sold their wares on this street, and still sells authentic paintings and copper or bronze carvings of the Stari Most, pomegranates (the natural symbol of Herzegovina) or the stećaks (medieval tombstones).
Since the end of the wider war in 1995, great progress has been made in the reconstruction of the city of Mostar.
The city was under direct monitoring from a European Union envoy, several elections were held and each nation was accommodated with regard to political control over the city.
A monumental project to rebuild the Old Bridge, which was destroyed during the Bosnian War, to the original design, and restore surrounding structures and historic neighbourhoods was initiated in 1999 and mostly completed by Spring 2004.
The money for this reconstruction was donated by Spain (who had a sizable contingent of peacekeeping troops stationed in the surrounding area during the conflict), the United States, Turkey, Italy, the Netherlands, and Croatia.
In parallel with the restoration of the Old Bridge, the Aga Khan Trust for Culture and the World Monuments Fund, with funding provided by the World Bank, undertook a five-year-long restoration and rehabilitation effort in historic Mostar.
Realizing early on that the reconstruction of the bridge without an in-depth rehabilitation of the surrounding historic neighbourhoods would be devoid of context and meaning, they shaped the programme in such a way as to establish a framework of urban conservation schemes and individual restoration projects that would help regenerate the most significant areas of historic Mostar, and particularly the urban tissue around the Old Bridge.
The project also resulted in the establishment of the Stari Grad Agency which has an important role in overseeing the ongoing implementation of the conservation plan, as well as operating and maintaining a series of restored historic buildings (including the Old Bridge complex) and promoting Mostar as a cultural and tourist destination.
Bosnia and Herzegovina has three national electric, postal and telecommunication service corporations; the seat of one per each group is placed in Mostar (electric utility provider Elektroprivreda HZHB, postal service company Hrvatska pošta Mostar and HT Mostar, the third largest telecommunication company in the country).
Considering the fact that three dams are situated on the city of Mostar’s territory, the city has a solid base for further development of production.
The private sector has seen a notable increase in small and medium enterprises over the past couple of years contributing to the positive business climate.
As in many other cities, its demographic profile was significantly altered after the Bosnian War; in case of Mostar, most of the Serbs left the city.
According to the official data of the local elections of 2008, among 6 city election districts, three western ones (Croat-majority) had 53,917 registered voters, and those three on the east (Bosniak-majority) had 34,712 voters.
After the Bosnian War, following the Dayton Agreement, the villages of Kamena, Kokorina and Zijemlje were separated from Mostar to form the new municipality of Istočni Mostar (East Mostar), in the Republika Srpska.
Mostar, and Herzegovina area in general, enjoy a modified Humid subtropical climate (Cfa) under the Köppen Climate Classification, with cold, humid winters and hot, drier summers.
During the 2012 European cold wave, Mostar experienced unusually cold weather with freezing temperatures lasting for days and a record snow depth of .
According to the constitution, imposed by High Representative Paddy Ashdown on January 28, 2004 after local politicians failed to reach an agreement, the mayor of Mostar has to be elected by the city council with a two-thirds majority.
Ashdown abolished the six municipalities that were divided equally among Bosniaks and Croats and replaced them with six electoral units, ridding Mostar of duplicate institutions and costs.
According to the constitution the constitutive nations of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs) are guaranteed a minimum of four seats and a maximum of 15 seats.
18 deputies are elected by the election units: 3 deputies from each district and 15 deputies are elected at the level of entire city.
This move was opposed by the Party of Democratic Action (SDA) and the Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina (HDZ BiH).
In a January 26 poll organized by the international community, 75 percent of Mostar’s citizens said that they supported the idea of a unified city.
In 2011 the constitutional court declared current Statute as unconstitutional, because the numbers of deputies from city districts did not match the number of voters in each district.
The City is waiting for the new Statute to be created, and many believe that such a thing will need to be carried by OHR.
In November 2011 Roderick W. Moore, the Principal Deputy High Representative, emphasized the importance of the urgent acts towards adoption of the new, constitutional Statute.
All public schools in Mostar, both elementary and secondary education, are divided between Croat curriculum and Federal (unofficially Bosniak) curriculum schools.
This ethnic division of schools was emplaced during the very first year of the Bosnian war and it continues, with some modifications, to this day.
The country's higher education reform and the signing of the Bologna Process have forced both universities to put aside their rivalry to some extent and try to make themselves more competitive on a regional level.
University of Mostar is the second largest university in the country and the only Croatian language university in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The origin of the university can be traced back to the Herzegovina Franciscan Theological School, which was founded in 1895 and closed in 1945, was the first higher education institution in Mostar.
FK Velež won the Yugoslav Cup in 1981 and in 1986, which was one of the most significant accomplishments this club has achieved.
Since the Bosnian War, each club has generally been supported by a particular ethnic group (Velež for the Bosniaks and Zrinjski for the Croats).
In basketball, HKK Zrinjski Mostar competes at the nation's highest level while the Zrinjski banner also represents the city in the top handball league.
Vahid Halilhodžić, a former Bosnian football player and current manager of the Morocco national football team, started his professional career in FK Velež Mostar.
Mostar International Airport serves the city as well as the railway and bus stations which connect it to a number of national and international destinations.
The World War II Partisan cemetery in Mostar, designed by the architect Bogdan Bogdanović, is another important symbol of the city.
Its sacrosanct quality is derived from the unity of nature (water and greenery) with the architectural expression of the designer; the monument was inscribed on the list of National Monuments in 2006.
The Catholic pilgrimage site of Međugorje is also nearby as well as the Tekija Dervish Monastery in Blagaj, 13th-century town of Počitelj, Blagaj Fort (Stjepan-grad), Kravica waterfall, seaside town of Neum, Roman villa rustica from the early fourth century Mogorjelo, Stolac with its stećak necropolis and the remains of an ancient Greek town of Daorson.
Nearby sites also include the nature park called Hutovo Blato, archeological site Desilo, Lake Boračko as well as Vjetrenica cave, the largest and most important cave in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Sons of Eber or Bnei Ever (בני-עבר) a synonym for the earliest cultural Hebrews, are first mentioned in the Hebrew Bible in Genesis 10:21 ().
In Protestant & Reform circles Hebrews are defined as descending from Abraham and the identification of the Bnei Ever of Genesis 10:21 remains obscure except for the eighth generation around whose descendants the biblical narratives are mainly concerned.
In the second generation there are thirteen children of Joktan – Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Obal, Abimael, Sheba, Havilah, Jobab and Ophir are mentioned while only Reu is recorded as being from Peleg.
In the third to fifth generations only Reu's descendants are mentioned, namely Serug or Surug/Sun, who fathered the first Nahor, whence came Terah.
Bethuel's son is Laban, and Kemuel's son is Aram (Aram of the Two Rivers or Aram-Narharaim), by whom the Nahorites came to be known as Arameans.
This is a list of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), which are minor planets in the Solar System that orbit the Sun at a greater distance on average than Neptune, that is, their orbit has a semi-major axis greater than 30.1 astronomical units (AU).
Centaurs have unstable orbits in which the perihelion (q) is well inside of Neptune's orbit but the farthest point (aphelion, Q) is very distant.
This list includes all numbered trans-Neptunian objects with a semi-major axis greater than 30.1 astronomical units (AU), Neptune's average orbital distance from the Sun.
There are more than 2,000 unnumbered trans-Neptunian objects, defined here as minor planets with a semi-major axis larger than 30.1 AU (Neptune's average orbital distance from the Sun).
The plot for the entire region contains 1418 objects including plutinos (#185), twotinos (#36), other resonant objects (#124), cubewanos (#420), inner (#40) and outer classical objects (#6), SDOs (#289), sednoids (#11), centaurs (#101) and other TNOs (#206).
Since the 2011 local government reform, it is part of the municipality Aigialeia, of which it is the seat and a municipal unit.
The city of Aigion was founded during Homeric times and became part of the first Achaean League since around 800 BC.
After the disaster of Helike, which was destroyed by an earthquake and buried by a tsunami in 373 BC, Aigion took the territory of the neighbouring city.
After the division of the Roman Empire in 395 AD, Aegium became a part of the Eastern Roman Empire and later the Byzantine Empire.
The city was captured by the Crusaders in the early 13th century and became the seat of a barony of the Principality of Achaea.
In 1459 it was conquered by the Ottoman Empire, who ruled it until the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence, except for brief interruptions by the Venetians from 1463 until 1470, and from 1685 until 1715.
The city was captured by the Greek rebels on 26 March 1821, becoming one of the first towns to be liberated from Ottoman rule.
In July 1822, at Akrata, near the town, a force of Greek fighters under Londos, Zaimis and Petimezas surrounded and attacked a group of 4000 Turks marching to Patras, after their defeat at the Battle of Dervenakia.
On June 15, 1995, a serious earthquake destroyed many buildings and damaged roads in the downtown and southwestern sections, with a number of casualties.
The earthquake shattered Aigio: small memorials are found throughout the city, with candles aglow day and night to remember the victims.
Until May 2011, a ferry served the port of Aigio, connecting it to the north-eastern mainland city of Agios Nikolaos (not to be confused with the Cretan city of the same name).
In May 2011, the shipping company that operated the ferry announced that it was suspending the ferry because of financial reasons.
The port also has railroad tracks, but the Hellenic Railways Organisation (OSE) announced suspension of service in Aigio and across the Pelopponese in January 2011.
As of 2017, a new double and electrified railway line was under construction, as well as a new railway station at the east outskirts of the city.
According to OSE, completion was expected in 2019, when the city of Aigio would again be connected by train to Athens and Corinth.
Aigio, along with Patras and Piraeus, has been one of the main export hubs for Corinthian raisins since the 19th century.
Aigio houses two branch departments of the Technological Educational Institute of Patras, the department of Physiotherapy and the Optics and Optometry department.
The Hospital performs the greatest number of laparoscopic surgeries in Greece, while more than 50,000 people are examined on a yearly basis.
Mickey is introduced riding on a rhea instead of a horse as would be expected (or an ostrich as often reported).
The latter emerges the victor (by covering Pete's head with a chamber pot he pulls out from under a bed) and finally gets hold of Minnie.
The finale has Mickey and Minnie riding the rhea stage left until they are obscured entirely by trees in the foreground.
Later audiences would comment on all three early versions of Mickey Mouse characters as seeming to come out of rough, lower class backgrounds that little resemble the later versions of Mickey Mouse.
Mickey was at first thought to be much too similar to Oswald the Rabbit, which may have helped to explain the audience's apparent lack of interest in him.
It is also the first time she wears her distinctive oversized high-heeled pumps, although they fall off when she is kidnapped and she spends the rest of the cartoon shoeless.
Mickey is also seen wearing shoes for the first time, and as the years went by animators would change Mickey Mouse.
In the first three Mickey Mouse shorts, he is a character meant to appeal to adult sensibilities; he smokes, drinks, and cavorts.
In these works, 23 is considered lucky, unlucky, sinister, strange, sacred to the goddess Eris, or sacred to the unholy gods of the Cthulhu Mythos.
Subsequently, the earldom was re-created for the 4th Earl's nephew and heir of line, Francis Stewart, whose father was an illegitimate son of James V. The second creation was forfeited in 1612, and although the heir was subsequently rehabilitated, the title was never restored.
The next heir appears to have been Captain Francis Stewart of Coldingham, a cavalry officer who commanded the royalist left wing at the Battle of Bothwell Brig in 1679, and who seems to have died around 1683; the male line has not been traced beyond this point.
Before the group started to work on the album they casually set out some goals that they wanted to achieve with it from conversations during the Roll the Bones Tour.
The group agreed that rock band Primus, who opened for them on the Roll the Bones Tour, and Pearl Jam influenced them to tweak their sound further.
As with their previous two studio albums, Rush retreated to Chalet Studios in Claremont, Ontario to write and rehearse new material during the week, returning home on weekends to see their families.
They stayed at Chalet for about two months, and rehearsed well enough so they could concentrate on obtaining a satisfactory sound and a spontaneous performance for their respective parts.
The writing sessions were met with increased tension between Lee and Lifeson, matters of which began on the Roll the Bones Tour over musical differences.
Among the topics that he thought about were the differences between genders, the anima and animus principle devised by psychologist Carl Jung, and the good and bad regarding heroism.
Initially, they talked to a lot of young producers, but they soon realised that there was little to gain from someone who had worked on fewer albums than the group had released over its career and sought someone experienced.
Lee said that the band had remained friendly with Collins, and noticed he had developed as a producer since they had last worked with him, including his work with more American rock bands.
The album was recorded from April to June 1993 at Le Studio in Morin-Heights, Quebec and McClear Pathé in Toronto, Ontario.
The 8-track demos were transferred onto the studio's 24-track recorder and became guide tracks for the band to follow and re-record their parts.
He had resisted the idea of recording his guitars outside of the studio's control room for the past 12 years, but Shirley talked him into playing in the studio room.
To help Lifeson listed each track on a magnetic board so they could play around with the order until they had one that they were happy with.
The band had planned to release the album earlier but Lifeson said that would have meant starting the tour earlier, but neither member was keen to do so.
He then took Jung's concept of anima and animus to write about a man dominating his softer, feminine side with aggression and ambition, more typical male traits.
Collins suggested having a string section added and chose Michael Kamen to orchestrate and conduct, so Lee devised some orchestral ideas that were included in the final arrangement.
Lee and Lifeson then got a feel into the previously difficult verses which led to Lifeson adding his steel guitar-like parts to which Lee was able to contribute harmonics.
Before the album was released it premiered during a radio special hosted by Steve Warden on CILQ in Toronto on October 14, 1993.
Relations between the members were reportedly tense, and they followed the tour with a long break, during which lead singer/bass player Geddy Lee planned to spend time with his growing family, while each member explored other creative interests, such as a Lifeson solo album.
On Friday, October 2, 1925, a 4,000-foot Chesapeake and Ohio railroad single track tunnel built during Reconstruction collapsed under Church Hill.
The Church Hill Tunnel collapse occurred during refurbishment works, killing 3 or 4 and engulfing a work train complete with a 4-4-0 engine #231 and 10 flat cars.
The bricked-in entrance of the collapsed tunnel can still be seen at the south-east end of the alley just north of Marshall Street, on 18th Street.
Douglas Wilder, the first African American to have been elected governor of a U.S. state, was born and raised in Church Hill.
In recent years, Church Hill has undergone gentrification and now experiences much lower rates of crime than it did in the late 20th century.
In 2015, Redfin included Church Hill in a roundup of most walkable neighborhoods in the city—while Richmond was named #9 in their list of Top 10 Most Walkable Mid-Sized Cities.
In 1957, encouraged in large part by Historic Richmond, City Council created a historic district ordinance while simultaneously adopting the St. John's Church Old and Historic District.
The White House press corps is the group of journalists, correspondents, or members of the media usually stationed at the White House in Washington, D.C., to cover the president of the United States, White House events, and news briefings.
The White House press secretary or a deputy generally holds a weekday news briefing in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room.
When a new U.S. president is elected, some news organizations change their correspondents, most often to the reporter who had been assigned to cover the new president during the preceding campaign.
For example, after the 2008 presidential campaign, ABC News moved Jake Tapper, who had covered Barack Obama during his presidential campaign, to the White House correspondent's position.
An urban legend exists of President Theodore Roosevelt noticing a group of correspondents in the rain looking for sources for their stories and inviting them into the White House.
Subsequent historical research outlines how reporters were able to start with small stories in the White House and then grew their presence and influence over a span of many years.
Malonic acid is the classic example of a competitive inhibitor: It acts against succinate dehydrogenase (complex II) in the respiratory electron transport chain.
Sodium carbonate generates the sodium salt, which is then reacted with sodium cyanide to provide the cyano acetic acid salt via a nucleophilic substitution.
Malonyl CoA is formed from acetyl CoA by the action of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and the malonate is transferred to an acyl carrier protein to be added to a fatty acid chain.
Malonic acid is also known to be a competitive inhibitor of succinic dehydrogenase, the enzyme responsible for the dehydrogenation of succinate within Krebs cycle.
It can be converted into 1,3 propanediol for use in polyesters and polymers and a projected market size of $621.2 million by 2021.
It can also be a component in alkyd resins, which are used in a number of coatings applications for protecting against damage caused by UV light, oxidation, and corrosion.
One application of malonic acid is in the coatings industry as a crosslinker for low-temperature cure powder coatings, which are becoming increasingly valuable for heat sensitive substrates and a desire to speed up the coatings process.
The global coatings market for automobiles was estimated to be $18.59 billion in 2014 with projected combined annual growth rate of 5.1% through 2022.
It is used in a number of manufacturing processes as a high value specialty chemical including the electronics industry, flavors and fragrances industry, specialty solvents, polymer crosslinking, and pharmaceutical industry.
Potential growth of these markets could result from advances in industrial biotechnology that seeks to displace petroleum-based chemicals in industrial applications.
Malonic acid was listed as one of the top 30 chemicals to be produced from biomass by the US Department of Energy.
In food and drug applications, malonic acid can be used to control acidity, either as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulation or natural preservative additive for foods.
Malonic acid is used as a building block chemical to produce numerous valuable compounds, including the flavor and fragrance compounds gamma-nonalactone, cinnamic acid, and the pharmaceutical compound valproate.
Malonic acid (up to 37.5% w/w) has been used to cross-link corn and potato starches to produce a biodegradable thermoplastic; the process is performed in water using non-toxic catalysts.
Starch-based polymers comprised 38% of the global biodegradable polymers market in 2014 with food packaging, foam packaging, and compost bags as the largest end-use segments.
The beautiful young princess Snow White evokes the Queen's sense of envy, so the Queen designs a number of plans to kill Snow White through the use of witchcraft.
In these, the Queen is often re-imagined and sometimes portrayed more sympathetically, such as being morally conflicted or suffering from madness instead of being simply evil.
In some instances, she serves as the protagonist of the story; one such particularly notable version is Disney's, sometimes known as Queen Grimhilde.
The Queen has also become an archetype that inspired several characters featured in the works that are not directly based on the original tale.
The King's new and second wife is very beautiful, but she is also a wicked and vain woman who becomes the new and second Queen, and Snow White's stepmother.
She owns a magic mirror, which one day informs her that her young stepdaughter Princess Snow White has surpassed her in beauty.
After deciding to eliminate Snow White, the Queen orders her Huntsman to take the princess into the forest and kill her.
However, the Huntsman takes pity on Snow White, and instead, brings the Queen the lungs and liver of a wild boar.
Intending to kill Snow White herself, she uses witchcraft to prepare poison and take the disguise of an old peddler woman.
She visits the dwarfs' house and sells Snow White laces for a corset that she laces too tight in an attempt to asphyxiate the girl.
When the comb fails to kill Snow White, the Queen again visits Snow White disguised as a farmer's wife and gives Snow White a poisoned apple.
Therefore, many (especially modern) revisions of the fairy tale often change the gruesome classic ending in order to make it seem less violent.
Already the first English translation of the Grimms' tale, written by Edgar Taylor in 1823, has the Queen choke on her own envy upon the sight of Snow White alive.
Rosemary Ellen Guiley suggests that the Queen uses an apple because it recalls the temptation of Eve; this creation story from the Bible led the Christian Church to view apples as a symbol of sin.
Robert G. Brown of Duke University also makes a connection with the story of Adam and Eve, seeing the Queen as a representation of the archetype of Lilith.
The Queen's demands of proof from the huntsman (often her lover in non-Grimm versions) also vary: a bottle of blood stoppered with the princess' toe in Spain, or the princess' intestines and blood-soaked shirt in Italy.
The Grimm brothers invented the motif of the Queen's execution at Snow White's wedding; the original story sees her punished by the King.
There is, for instance, no suggestion that the queen's absorption in her beauty ever gives her pleasure, or that the desire for power through sexual attractiveness is itself a sexual feeling.
What is stressed is the anger and fear that attend the queen's realization that as she and Snow White both get older, she must lose.
Her continued existence means not only that Snow White's life remains in jeopardy, but that the princess is apt to be plagued by vain temptations for the rest of her days.
Malonate is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase: malonate binds to the active site of the enzyme without reacting, and so competes with succinate, the usual substrate of the enzyme.
The observation that malonate is a competitive inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase was used to deduce the structure of the active site in that enzyme.
Star Search is an American television show that was produced by T.P.E./Rysher Entertainment from 1983 to 1995, hosted by Ed McMahon, and created by Al Masini.
The show was originally filmed at the old Earl Carroll Theatre (now known as Nickelodeon on Sunset), at 6230 Sunset Blvd.
All acts were judged by a panel of four judges, and each judge could award an act from one to four stars (later changed to five stars).
If there was a tie, a studio audience vote broke the tie, in which case the results were revealed at the end of the show.
Any performer must win at least several shows in a row, depending on the number of shows left in the season, to earn an entry into the next round of the competition; usually this was three or four wins in a row.
In most seasons, two semifinal shows took place, one in the fall, the other in the spring, prior to the championship show.
No scoring was used, and the judges' votes weren't revealed, but the acts that won their semifinals would then compete in the championship show.
On the championship show, winners of Male Vocalist, Female Vocalist, Vocal Group, Comedy, and Dance, were awarded $100,000 but no record contract was guaranteed.
In early seasons, before the three match limit rule was adopted, the grand champions were determined by how long a champion held their title.
While it is believed that Sam Harris holds the record for longest championship, at 14 weeks in Season 1, Harris was actually defeated by singer Beau Williams on Harris' 14th attempt.
This record is actually held by singer Durell Coleman (1985), who won the $100,000 on Season 2 with 15 wins and no defeats.
This new version was judged by four panelists, including Ben Stein, Naomi Judd, Ahmet Zappa and a rotating celebrity panelist (which in at least one case was McMahon himself).
The three house judges, along with the one celebrity judge, gave each contestant a score on a scale from one to five stars, making a maximum studio score 20 stars.
If the score was tied, then Hall would read off each performer's score rounded to the nearest hundredth (the at-home score was initially rounded down to the nearest star, unless there was a tie).
The only real exception to this format during the first three seasons was that three people competed in the semi-final rounds, not two.
For the fourth and final season, three contestants in Adult Singer, Junior Singer, and Dance were brought back to initially compete (Comedy was dropped, jokingly because Naomi gave many comics only one star).
With only three judges, a score of 15 stars was possible, and ties were broken by a majority vote between the three.
The winning challenger then had the chance to challenge one of the three performers in his or her respective winner's circle.
The winner's circle performer then had to beat or tie the bar set by the challenger; ties were automatically given to the Winner's Circle performer.
If they couldn't beat the score, they were out of the competition, and the challenger took his or her place in the Winner's Circle.
Woncheuk (613–696) (Chinese Yuáncè) was a Korean Buddhist monk, also known as Ximing Fashi (西明法师) after the name of this temple where he did most of his important work.
In forming diethyl malonate from malonic acid, the hydroxyl group (-OH) on both of the carboxyl groups is replaced by an ethoxy group (-OEt; -OCHCH).
The methylene group (-CH-) in the middle of the malonic part of the diethyl malonate molecule is neighboured by two carbonyl groups (-C(=O)-).
The hydrogen atoms on the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl group in a molecule is significantly more acidic than hydrogen atoms on a carbon adjacent to alkyl groups (up to 30 orders of magnitude).
The hydrogen atoms on a carbon adjacent to two carbonyl groups are even more acidic because the carbonyl groups help stabilize the carbanion resulting from the removal of a proton from the methylene group between them.
Diethyl malonate may be prepared by reacting the sodium salt of chloroacetic acid with sodium cyanide, followed by base hydrolysis of the resultant nitrile to give the sodium salt malonicacid.
In comparison, when sodium ethoxide is used, any nucleophilic attack at the carboxylate by the ethoxide will not give any side product; other alkoxide salts will cause scrambling by transesterification.
Diethyl malonate can be nitrosated with excess sodium nitrite in acetic acid to afford diethyl oximinomalonate, catalytic hydrogenolysis of which in ethanol over Pd/C affords diethyl aminomalonate (DEAM).
DEAM can be acetylated to produce diethyl acetamidomalonate (useful in amino-acid synthesis), or can be added with 3-substituted 2,4-diketones to boiling acetic acid to afford in maximal yield variously substituted ethyl pyrrole-2-carboxylates of interest for porphyrin synthesis.
Max Wilhelm Dehn (November 13, 1878 – June 27, 1952) was a German mathematician most famous for his work in geometry, topology and geometric group theory.
Dehn was a student of David Hilbert, and in his habilitation in 1900 Dehn resolved Hilbert's third problem, making him the first to resolve one of Hilbert's well-known 23 problems.
He studied the foundations of geometry with Hilbert at Göttingen in 1899, and obtained a proof of the Jordan curve theorem for polygons.
In his habilitation at the University of Münster in 1900 he resolved Hilbert's third problem, by introducing what was afterwards called the Dehn invariant.
In 1910 Dehn published a paper on three-dimensional topology in which he introduced Dehn surgery and used it to construct homology spheres.
Also in 1912, Dehn invented what is now known as Dehn's algorithm and used it in his work on the word and conjugacy problems for groups.
The notion of a Dehn function in geometric group theory, which estimates the area of a relation in a finitely presented group in terms of the length of that relation, is also named after him.
In the early 1920s Dehn introduced the result that would come to be known as the Dehn-Nielsen theorem; its proof would be published in 1927 by Jakob Nielsen.
He stayed in Germany until January 1939, when he fled to Copenhagen, and then to Trondheim, Norway, where he took a position at the Norwegian Institute of Technology.
In October 1940 he left Norway for America by way of Siberia and Japan (the Atlantic crossing was considered too dangerous).
In 1942 he took a job at the Illinois Institute of Technology, and in 1943 he moved to St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland.
In March 1944, Dehn was invited to give two talks at Black Mountain College on the philosophy and history of mathematics.
After negotiating his salary from $25 to $40 per month, Dehn and his wife moved into housing provided by the school and he began teaching in January 1945.
His classes had an emphasis on the way shapes relate to each other, a concept that can be useful in artistic mediums.
He enjoyed the forested mountains found in Black Mountain, and would often hold class in the woods, giving lectures during hikes.
In the summer of 1952 Dehn was made Professor Emeritus, which allowed him to remain on campus and act as an advisor.
The first two generations (1G and 2G) share the automobile platform and parts with the rebadged Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser captive imports.
During May 2005, the fourth, and final, generation (4G) Eclipse was introduced, replacing the Chrysler platform used in the first three generations with the PS platform.
At the end of August 2011, the final Eclipse rolled off the assembly line, and was auctioned off, the proceeds donated to charity.
In January 2017, Mitsubishi stated that it plans to resurrect the Eclipse name on a compact crossover vehicle, titled the Eclipse Cross, which debuted at the 2017 Geneva Auto Show in March.
The first generation Eclipse underwent minor styling changes during its production; 1992–1994 models have updated sheetmetal and are easily distinguishable from earlier model years.
These models varied significantly in drivetrains and available options, and included some variance in appearance, as higher trim lines added different front and rear fascia panels and surrounding trim, with the GSX model getting a notably different styling package from the others.
The basic driveline layout of the Eclipse is a transverse-mounted 4-cylinder Mitsubishi 4G37 or 4G63 engine situated on the left-hand side of the car driving an automatic or manual transmission on the right-hand side.
AWD models have a different transmission which includes a limited-slip center differential and output shaft for a transfer case, which drives the rear differential (also available as limited-slip) and half-shafts.
The 4G63 is composed of an iron engine block and aluminum cylinder head and is equipped with 2 balance shafts for smooth operation.
The turbocharged version of the 4G63 (sometimes referred to as the 4G63T) is equipped with a lower compression ratio (7.8 in 1990-1994, 8.5 in 1995 - 1999 and 9.0 in the naturally aspirated version) and oil squirters under the pistons for better cooling from extra heat introduced in the system by forced induction.
The original 6-bolt design is generally regarded as a stronger engine due to the bolt design as well as thicker connecting rods.
The dealers would inspect the vehicles for adequacy of the transfer case oil volume, transfer case oil leakage, and operational degradation of the transfer case mechanism.
The transfer case itself did not leak but rather the brass plug in the center of the transfer case yoke would leak.
The Eclipse was completely redesigned in 1994 (for the 1995 model year) and now came with standard dual air bags, more rounded styling, a larger interior and a new engine made by Chrysler for the base model.
The second generation car maintained the market focus of the first generation car but had numerous changes to appeal to a broader market.
A convertible model, named the Eclipse Spyder, was introduced in 1996 offered in two trim levels; the GS and the GS-T.
The GSX model was also powered by this engine but with the addition of a high performance all wheel drive system.
The US version engines produced 140 hp, found only in the RS and GS trims, and were a modified version of the Chrysler Neon engine, the 420a, manufactured by Chrysler and delivered to and installed at the Diamond Star Motors facility.
International market Eclipses made less horsepower than their Japanese domestic market relatives when equipped with the 4G63 (, ), due to emissions regulations at the time.
As the width dimension and larger engines were offered to Japanese consumers, it was now regarded as a luxury car, as this generation no longer complied with Japanese Government dimension regulations, and Japanese consumers were liable for annual taxes as a result, which affected sales.
It also included the leather interior package, accented exhaust exit, and hoop-style spoiler that were available as standard equipment on GS-T and GSX models.
It used a naturally aspirated Mitsubishi 4G63 motor, similar to what was available in the 1G, unique sideview mirrors, and amber rear turn signals.
The headlights were given a sharper slant on the inner edges, and the previous all-chrome fixture interior changed to a black interior with chrome reflector inserts.
The rear bumper cap was altered and had the reverse lights restyled and moved out into the bumper fascia, away from their original central position by the license plate bracket.
The interior color choices also changed from blue, and grey in 1995–1996 model years to black/grey, tan/black, and grey in the 1997–1999 model years.
The black leather interior option was only available in 1999; the package included all seats (with the 'Mitsubishi' logo embroidered on both of the fronts), door inserts, and center console armrest.
The Eclipse was available in seven trim levels: Base [Only available in 1996.5 (mid-model year)], RS (Rally Sport), GS (Grand Sport), GS Spyder, GS-T (Grand Sport Turbo), GS-T Spyder, and GSX (Grand Sport X=AWD).
The 1995–1999 turbo engines were given an increased compression ratio of 8.5:1, up from 7.8:1, and a smaller turbo, a Garrett T25 set to 12psi in place of the previous Mitsubishi TD04-13G (automatic cars) and TD05-14B (manual cars).
Because they look similar, it is important to note that the 1990-1994 cylinder head is more on the side of high air volume, while the 1995-1999 cylinder head is more on the side of high air velocity.
It is identical to that used in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, which was not yet sold in North America until 2003.
Although originally deactivated to protect the drivetrain, it included advanced features such as launch control, boost control, adjustable rev-limit, fuel system control and even fuel and boost map selection for certain Mitsubishi Heavy Industries turbochargers.
The 2G Eclipse received numerous Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) affecting a variety of issues with the car however there was one notable powertrain recall.
The dealers would inspect the vehicles for adequacy of the transfer case oil volume, transfer case oil leakage, and operational degradation of the transfer case mechanism.
The transfer case itself did not leak but rather the brass plug in the center of the transfer case yoke would leak.
There were a variety of symptoms however the most common symptom of crankwalk is the clutch pedal would stick to the floor upon making a left turn.
All 2G Eclipses came standard with driver and front-passenger air bags, side-guard door beams, front and rear body structure crumple zones, 5 mph energy absorbing bumpers, safety-cage body construction, 4- wheel disc brakes (except RS), three-point ELR/ALR lap/shoulder safety belts (ELR only for driver) and height adjustable front shoulder belts.
The Eclipse underwent a change into its third generation in 1999, closely applying the Mitsubishi SST design study which debuted at the 1998 North American International Auto Show.
Two new powertrain options were available, a 2.4 L 16-valve SOHC 4-cylinder 4G64 and a 24v SOHC 3.0 L V6 (6G72).
In late 2001, power of the GT trim was lowered to as a result of tightened emission standards forcing MMNA to adopt the California emissions standards for all variants of the car, rather than selling independent 'Fed Spec' and 'Cali Spec' versions.
This vehicle included an engine with a 10:1 compression ratio, revised camshaft profile and an improved Mitsubishi Variable Induction Management (MVIM) air intake system that gave the car an extra and a slightly improved power curve.
With the introduction of the 2003 GTS model, the Eclipse saw minor changes including a redesigned front bumper with slotted fog lights, as well as a recoloring of the tail lights.
The third generation Eclipse utilized two distinct Mitsubishi engines: The SOHC 4G64 2.4 L 16-valve four-cylinder and SOHC 6G72 3.0 L 24-valve V6.
The four-cylinder, found in the RS, GS and GS Spyder trims, used a 9:1 compression ratio and produced an output of and of torque throughout all years.
The 3.0 L V6, however, found in GT and GT Spyder models, produced in Fed Spec between 2000-2001 and in all GT models in Cali Spec, all years with a static compression ratio of 9:1.
In 2003, the 3.0 L V6 was improved for the GTS and GT/GTS Spyder, using a revised camshaft profile, raised compression ratio of 10:1 and variable-length MVIM intake manifold.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse EV is a prototype electric vehicle with a lightweight electric motor and lithium-ion batteries in the chassis of a third generation Eclipse.
It is powered by manganese lithium-ion batteries made by Japan Storage Battery, which have 65% reduced charging time over nickel-hydrogen batteries.
It participated in the 2001 Shikoku EV Rally, a circuit around the perimeter of Shikoku, Japan, where it drove in excess of on a single battery charge.
Another substantial styling revision was introduced, with the new model taking some of the profile from the second generation model but maintaining a front fascia consistent with Mitsubishi's current corporate styling features.
Drivetrain features of the new model include a 3.8 L MIVEC V6 for the GT trim, 2009 and newer models have .
The GS has a 2.4 L MIVEC four-cylinder, both derived from the Mitsubishi PS platform family, with which the Eclipse shares many mechanical components.
Like the 2004 Galant and third generation Eclipse, the new Eclipse is FWD only, although a concept model has been produced by Mitsubishi and Ralliart with a MillenWorks designed hybrid-electric AWD platform, the 4G63 engine from the Lancer Evolution, and more aggressive body styling with imitation carbon fiber accents.
For the 2010 model year in the U.S., its primary market, the Eclipse was available in five trim levels: GS, GS Sport Spyder, SE, GT, and GT Spyder.
Boasting nine speakers including a trunk-mounted subwoofer, a 6-CD in-dash changer, and steering wheel-mounted audio controls, the package also includes a center display with outside temperature and compass readings and an electrochromic rear-view mirror.
Rockford Fosgate audio system with nine speakers, including a 10-in (254 mm) trunk-mounted subwoofer, a 6-CD/MP3-compatible in-dash changer, steering wheel-mounted audio controls.
The Eclipse is equipped with dual bank catalytic converters on the manifolds of both the 4 and 6 cylinder engines with O2 sensors placed after each catalytic converter to monitor operation.
The V6 engine now rated at and of torque in part due to the more open front fascia as well as a new stock dual exhaust system.
In the GS trim, the car gets the same 18-inch wheels and blackout front end as the GT model called the GS Sport.
For the 2012 model year, the Eclipse received three slight changes: brake override logic, a clear lip spoiler on the GT trim, and one new exterior color.
The last Eclipse to roll off the assembly line was built on 16 August 2011, painted Kalapana Black, its color was chosen from by members of Mitsubishi's Facebook community, who picked from a historical Eclipse color palette.
This was the only Eclipse equipped with both the 3.8L/265 hp V-6 engine and the commemorative SE package, as well as special 18-inch Dark Argent alloy wheels and one of a kind graphics.
It is also built with a sunroof, leather interior, 650W Rockford Fosgate 9-speaker audio system with Sirius XM, hands free Bluetooth phone interface, rear-view camera, and HID headlights.
In 1998, it entered the race again but was now in a lower specification class (GT3/GTS3) It finished in 24th place.
In 2009 and 2010, an Eclipse Spyder GS-T driven by Matt Andrews and Andrew Brilliant won the Super Lap Battle Limited championship in Willow Springs, California.
The Fries Rebellion (), also called Fries' Rebellion, the House Tax Rebellion, the Home Tax Rebellion and, in Deitsch, the Heesses-Wasser Uffschtand, was an armed tax revolt among Pennsylvania Dutch farmers between 1799 and 1800.
It was the third of three tax-related rebellions in the 18th century United States, the earlier two being Shays' Rebellion (central and western Massachusetts, 1786–87) and the Whiskey Rebellion (western Pennsylvania, 1794).
To pay for it, Congress in July 1798 imposed $2 million in new taxes on real estate and slaves, apportioned among the states according to the requirements of the Constitution.
Congress had also recently passed the Alien and Sedition Acts, criminalizing dissent and increasing the power of the executive branch under John Adams.
In July 1798, during the troubles between the United States and France now known as the Quasi-War, the US Congress levied a direct tax (on dwelling-houses, lands and slaves; sometimes called the Direct House Tax of 1798) of $2 million, of which Pennsylvania was called upon to contribute $237,000.
There were very few slaves in Pennsylvania, and the tax was accordingly assessed upon dwelling-houses and land, the value of the houses being determined by the number and size of the windows.
The inquisitorial nature of the proceedings, with assessors riding around and counting windows, aroused strong opposition, and many refused to pay, making the constitutional argument that this tax was not being levied in proportion to population.
At a meeting called by government representatives in an attempt to explain the tax in a way as to defuse tensions, protesters waving liberty flags, some armed and in Continental Army uniforms, shouted them down and turned the meeting into a protest rally.
He then led a small armed band that harassed the assessors enough that they decided to abandon Milford for the time being.
In early March, a local militia company and a growing force of armed irregulars met, marching to the accompaniment of drum and fife.
They captured a number of assessors there, releasing them with a warning not to return and to tell the government what had happened to them.
In Penn, the appointed assessor resigned under public threats; the assessors in Hamilton and Northampton also begged to resign, but were refused as nobody else could be found to take their places.
Arrests were made without much incident until the marshal reached Macungie, then known as Millerstown, where a crowd formed to protect a man from arrest.
In 2011, he founded his own production company known as Augury, focused on developing music-driven projects in film, television, and theater.
The show, which is being co-written by original writers Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, is expected to be performed in 2015, on the 30th anniversary year of the film.
Mark Henry Rowswell, CM (born May 23, 1965), better known by his Chinese stage name Dashan (), is a Canadian comedian and television personality based in China.
Relatively unknown in the West, Dashan is one of the most famous Western personalities in China's media industry, where he occupies a unique position as a foreign national who has become a domestic celebrity, largely through his repeated appearances on China Central Television since 1988.
Upon graduation from the University of Toronto with a bachelor of arts in Chinese studies in 1988, Rowswell was awarded a full scholarship to continue Chinese language studies at Peking University.
The following month he was invited to perform a comedic skit on national television during the CCTV New Year's Gala, a variety program broadcast to an estimated audience of 550 million people.
With the move away from xiangsheng, throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s Dashan increasingly worked in a non-comedic role as a freelance host or presenter of many varied television programs and live events, especially those with an international focus and requiring a bilingual (English/Chinese) emcee.
In early 2009 Dashan made a return to the CCTV New Year's Gala to perform a xiangsheng skit in which he appeared together with Ma Dong (), son of the famous xiangsheng master Ma Ji ().
With this performance, Dashan became (at the time) the only foreign national to have appeared on the CCTV New Year's Gala a total of three times.
Dashan made a fourth appearance on the CCTV New Year's Gala in 2011, in a skit introducing and performing with several foreign students studying Chinese at Confucius Institutes.
Dashan was appointed Commissioner General for Canada at Expo 2010 in Shanghai, a position that ran from May 2009 to November 2010.
In recent years Dashan has also become more active in online and social media, attracting over 5 million followers on two Chinese microblogs, Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo.
In many instances, Dashan has transcended the role of celebrity performer to become a cultural ambassador between China and the West, both in an informal as well as official capacity.
In 2017 Dashan was the only Mandarin performer at the 2017 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the third-largest international comedy festival in the world and the largest cultural event in Australia.
Dashan's name and image can often be seen in commercial endorsements for various Chinese and international companies, including Canadian Ford automobiles starting in 2007 and 2008.
Dashan is also active as a spokesman for several charity organizations, primarily involved with cancer prevention as well as environmental protection.
On April 30, 2014 Dashan was appointed to a three-year term as a member of Governing Council of the University of Toronto, and was renewed for another three-year term in 2017.
En route, his train was stopped in Germany where he and his brother, Adolfas Mekas (1925–2011), were imprisoned in a labor camp in Elmshorn, a suburb of Hamburg, for eight months.
From 1946 to 1948, he studied philosophy at the University of Mainz and at the end of 1949 he emigrated with his brother to the U.S., settling in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York.
Two weeks after his arrival, he borrowed money to buy his first Bolex 16mm camera and began recording moments of his life.
He discovered avant-garde film at venues such as Amos Vogel's pioneering Cinema 16, and he began curating avant-garde film screenings at Gallery East on Avenue A and Houston Street and at the Film Forum series at Carl Fisher Auditorium on 57th Street.
In 1962, he co-founded Film-Makers' Cooperative and the Filmmakers' Cinematheque in 1964, which eventually grew into Anthology Film Archives, one of the world's largest and most important repositories of avant-garde film.
He was a close collaborator with artists such as Andy Warhol, Nico, Allen Ginsberg, Yoko Ono, John Lennon, Salvador Dalí, and fellow Lithuanian George Maciunas.
He launched a campaign against the censorship board, and for the next few years continued to exhibit films at the Film-makers' Cinemathèque, the Jewish Museum, and the Gallery of Modern Art.
From 1964 to 1967, he organized the New American Cinema Expositions, which toured Europe and South America, and in 1966 joined 80 Wooster Fluxhouse Coop.
In 1970, Anthology Film Archives opened on 425 Lafayette Street as a film museum, screening space, and a library, with Mekas as its director.
Mekas, along with Stan Brakhage, Ken Kelman, Peter Kubelka, James Broughton, and P. Adams Sitney, began the ambitious Essential Cinema project at Anthology Film Archives to establish a canon of important cinematic works.
His work has been exhibited at the 51st Venice Biennial, PS1 Contemporary Art Center, the Ludwig Museum, the Serpentine Gallery, and the Jonas Mekas Visual Arts Center.
Beginning in the 1970s, Mekas taught film courses at the New School for Social Research, MIT, Cooper Union, and New York University.
Universal healthcare (also called universal health coverage, universal coverage, or universal care) is a health care system in which all residents of a particular country or region are assured access to health care.
It is generally organized around providing either all residents or only those who cannot afford on their own with either health services or the means to acquire them, with the end goal of improving health outcomes.
Some universal healthcare systems are government funded, while others are based on a requirement that all citizens purchase private health insurance.
Universal healthcare can be determined by three critical dimensions: who is covered, what services are covered, and how much of the cost is covered.
It is described by the World Health Organization as a situation where citizens can access health services without incurring financial hardship.
One of the goals with universal healthcare is to create a system of protection which provides equality of opportunity for people to enjoy the highest possible level of health.
In the United Kingdom, the National Insurance Act 1911 provided coverage for primary care (but not specialist or hospital care) for wage earners, covering about one third of the population.
Universal health care was next introduced in the Nordic countries of Sweden (1955), Iceland (1956), Norway (1956), Denmark (1961), and Finland (1964).
Universal health insurance was then introduced in Japan (1961), and in Canada through stages, starting with the province of Saskatchewan in 1962, followed by the rest of Canada from 1968 to 1972.
From the 1970s to the 2000s, Southern and Western European countries began introducing universal coverage, most of them building upon previous health insurance programs to cover the whole population.
For example, France built upon its 1928 national health insurance system, with subsequent legislation covering a larger and larger percentage of the population, until the remaining 1% of the population that was uninsured received coverage in 2000.
In addition, universal health coverage was introduced in some Asian countries, including South Korea (1989), Taiwan (1995), Israel (1995), and Thailand (2001).
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia retained and reformed its universal health care system, as did other former Soviet nations and Eastern bloc countries.
Beyond the 1990s, many countries in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region, including developing countries, took steps to bring their populations under universal health coverage, including China which has the largest universal health care system in the world and Brazil's SUS which improved coverage up to 80% of the population.
A 2012 study examined progress being made by these countries, focusing on nine in particular: Ghana, Rwanda, Nigeria, Mali, Kenya, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
General taxation revenue is the primary source of funding, but in many countries it is supplemented by specific levies (which may be charged to the individual and/or an employer) or with the option of private payments (by direct or optional insurance) for services beyond those covered by the public system.
Some nations, such as Germany, France, and Japan, employ a multipayer system in which health care is funded by private and public contributions.
For example, one model is that the bulk of the healthcare is funded by the municipality, speciality healthcare is provided and possibly funded by a larger entity, such as a municipal co-operation board or the state, and medications are paid for by a state agency.
A paper by Sherry A. Glied from Columbia University found that universal health care systems are modestly redistributive and that the progressivity of health care financing has limited implications for overall income inequality.
Sometimes there may be a choice of multiple public and private funds providing a standard service (as in Germany) or sometimes just a single public fund (as in Canada).
In some European countries where private insurance and universal health care coexist, such as Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, the problem of adverse selection is overcome by using a risk compensation pool to equalize, as far as possible, the risks between funds.
Thus, a fund with a predominantly healthy, younger population has to pay into a compensation pool and a fund with an older and predominantly less healthy population would receive funds from the pool.
In this way, sickness funds compete on price and there is no advantage in eliminating people with higher risks because they are compensated for by means of risk-adjusted capitation payments.
Funds are not allowed to pick and choose their policyholders or deny coverage, but they compete mainly on price and service.
That resulted in foreign insurance companies entering the Irish market and offering much less expensive health insurance to relatively healthy segments of the market, which then made higher profits at VHI's expense.
The government later reintroduced community rating by a pooling arrangement and at least one main major insurance company, BUPA, withdrew from the Irish market.
In Poland, people are obliged to pay a percentage of the average monthly wage to the state if they are not covered by private insurance.
Among the potential solutions posited by economists are single-payer systems as well as other methods of ensuring that health insurance is universal, such as by requiring all citizens to purchase insurance or by limiting the ability of insurance companies to deny insurance to individuals or vary price between individuals.
Single-payer systems may contract for healthcare services from private organizations (as in Canada) or own and employ healthcare resources and personnel (as was the case in England before the introduction of the Health and Social Care Act).
Some countries (notably the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Portugal and the Nordic countries) choose to fund health care directly from taxation alone.
Other countries with insurance-based systems effectively meet the cost of insuring those unable to insure themselves via social security arrangements funded from taxation, either by directly paying their medical bills or by paying for insurance premiums for those affected.
In a social health insurance system, contributions from workers, the self-employed, enterprises and governments are pooled into a single or multiple funds on a compulsory basis.
The social health insurance model is also referred to as the 'Bismarck Model,' after Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, who introduced the first universal health care system in Germany in the 19th century.
Within social health insurance, a number of functions may be executed by parastatal or non-governmental sickness funds, or in a few cases, by private health insurance companies.
Social health insurance is used in a number of Western European countries and increasingly in Eastern Europe as well as in Israel and Japan.
In private health insurance, premiums are paid directly from employers, associations, individuals and families to insurance companies, which pool risks across their membership base.
In some countries with universal coverage, private insurance often excludes certain health conditions that are expensive and the state health care system can provide coverage.
For example, in the United Kingdom, one of the largest private health care providers is BUPA, which has a long list of general exclusions even in its highest coverage policy, most of which are routinely provided by the National Health Service.
In the United States, dialysis treatment for end stage kidney failure is generally paid for by government and not by the insurance industry.
In the Netherlands, which has regulated competition for its main insurance system (but is subject to a budget cap), insurers must cover a basic package for all enrollees, but may choose which additional services they offer in supplementary plans (which most people possess - citation needed).
A particular form of private health insurance that has often emerged, if financial risk protection mechanisms have only a limited impact, is community-based health insurance.
Individual members of a specific community pay to a collective health fund which they can draw from when they need medical care.
In some countries, such as the UK, Spain, Italy, Australia, and the Nordic countries, the government has a high degree of involvement in the commissioning or delivery of health care services and access is based on residence rights, not on the purchase of insurance.
Others have a much more pluralistic delivery system, based on obligatory health with contributory insurance rates related to salaries or income and usually funded by employers and beneficiaries jointly.
Sometimes, the health funds are derived from a mixture of insurance premiums, salary related mandatory contributions by employees and/or employers to regulated sickness funds, and by government taxes.
These insurance based systems tend to reimburse private or public medical providers, often at heavily regulated rates, through mutual or publicly owned medical insurers.
A few countries, such as the Netherlands and Switzerland, operate via privately owned but heavily regulated private insurers, which are not allowed to make a profit from the mandatory element of insurance but can profit by selling supplemental insurance.
The common denominator for all such programs is some form of government action aimed at extending access to health care as widely as possible and setting minimum standards.
Usually, some costs are borne by the patient at the time of consumption, but the bulk of costs come from a combination of compulsory insurance and tax revenues.
In others, tax revenues are used either to fund insurance for the very poor or for those needing long-term chronic care.
This is a way of organising the delivery, and allocating resources, of healthcare (and potentially social care) based on populations in a given geography with a common need (such as asthma, end of life, urgent care).
The United Kingdom National Audit Office in 2003 published an international comparison of ten different health care systems in ten developed countries, nine universal systems against one non-universal system (the United States), and their relative costs and key health outcomes.
A wider international comparison of 16 countries, each with universal health care, was published by the World Health Organization in 2004.
In some cases, government involvement also includes directly managing the health care system, but many countries use mixed public-private systems to deliver universal health care.
Wireless power transfer (WPT), wireless power transmission, wireless energy transmission (WET), or electromagnetic power transfer is the transmission of electrical energy without wires as a physical link.
In a wireless power transmission system, a transmitter device, driven by electric power from a power source, generates a time-varying electromagnetic field, which transmits power across space to a receiver device, which extracts power from the field and supplies it to an electrical load.
The technology of wireless power transmission can eliminate the use of the wires and batteries, thus increasing the mobility, convenience, and safety of an electronic device for all users.
Inductive coupling is the most widely used wireless technology; its applications include charging handheld devices like phones and electric toothbrushes, RFID tags, induction cooking, and wirelessly charging or continuous wireless power transfer in implantable medical devices like artificial cardiac pacemakers, or electric vehicles.
An important issue associated with all wireless power systems is limiting the exposure of people and other living things to potentially injurious electromagnetic fields.
Wireless power transfer is a generic term for a number of different technologies for transmitting energy by means of electromagnetic fields.
The technologies, listed in the table below, differ in the distance over which they can transfer power efficiently, whether the transmitter must be aimed (directed) at the receiver, and in the type of electromagnetic energy they use: time varying electric fields, magnetic fields, radio waves, microwaves, infrared or visible light waves.
Wireless power uses the same fields and waves as wireless communication devices like radio, another familiar technology that involves electrical energy transmitted without wires by electromagnetic fields, used in cellphones, radio and television broadcasting, and WiFi.
In radio communication the goal is the transmission of information, so the amount of power reaching the receiver is not so important, as long as it is sufficient that the information can be received intelligibly.
In contrast, with wireless power transfer the amount of energy received is the important thing, so the efficiency (fraction of transmitted energy that is received) is the more significant parameter.
When the harvested power is used to supply the power of wireless information transmitters, the network is known as Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT); whereas when it is used to supply the power of wireless information receivers, it is known as a Wireless Powered Communication Network (WPCN).
In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) provided its first certification for a wireless transmission charging system in December 2017.
Accelerating electric charges, such as are found in an alternating current (AC) of electrons in a wire, create time-varying electric and magnetic fields in the space around them.
In other words, if far apart, doubling the distance between the two antennas causes the power received to decrease by a factor of 2 = 64.
Unlike in a radiative system where the maximum radiation occurs when the dipole antennas are oriented transverse to the direction of propagation, with dipole fields the maximum coupling occurs when the dipoles are oriented longitudinally.
The induced alternating current may either drive the load directly, or be rectified to direct current (DC) by a rectifier in the receiver, which drives the load.
A few systems, such as electric toothbrush charging stands, work at 50/60 Hz so AC mains current is applied directly to the transmitter coil, but in most systems an electronic oscillator generates a higher frequency AC current which drives the coil, because transmission efficiency improves with frequency.
Inductive coupling is the oldest and most widely used wireless power technology, and virtually the only one so far which is used in commercial products.
It is used in inductive charging stands for cordless appliances used in wet environments such as electric toothbrushes and shavers, to reduce the risk of electric shock.
It is also used to charge electric vehicles such as cars and to either charge or power transit vehicles like buses and trains.
However the fastest growing use is wireless charging pads to recharge mobile and handheld wireless devices such as laptop and tablet computers, cellphones, digital media players, and video game controllers.
The power transferred increases with frequency and the mutual inductance formula_1 between the coils, which depends on their geometry and the distance formula_2 between them.
This dimensionless parameter is equal to the fraction of magnetic flux through the transmitter coil formula_4 that passes through the receiver coil formula_5 when L2 is open circuited.
If the two coils are on the same axis and close together so all the magnetic flux from formula_4 passes through formula_5, formula_8 and the link efficiency approaches 100%.
The greater the separation between the coils, the more of the magnetic field from the first coil misses the second, and the lower formula_9 and the link efficiency are, approaching zero at large separations.
In order to achieve high efficiency, the coils must be very close together, a fraction of the coil diameter formula_11, usually within centimeters, with the coils' axes aligned.
Each resonant circuit consists of a coil of wire connected to a capacitor, or a self-resonant coil or other resonator with internal capacitance.
The resonance between the coils can greatly increase coupling and power transfer, analogously to the way a vibrating tuning fork can induce sympathetic vibration in a distant fork tuned to the same pitch.
Nikola Tesla first discovered resonant coupling during his pioneering experiments in wireless power transfer around the turn of the 20th century, but the possibilities of using resonant coupling to increase transmission range has only recently been explored.
In 2007 a team led by Marin Soljačić at MIT used two coupled tuned circuits each made of a 25 cm self-resonant coil of wire at 10 MHz to achieve the transmission of 60 W of power over a distance of (8 times the coil diameter) at around 40% efficiency.
The concept behind resonant inductive coupling systems is that high Q factor resonators exchange energy at a much higher rate than they lose energy due to internal damping.
Another advantage is that resonant circuits interact with each other so much more strongly than they do with nonresonant objects that power losses due to absorption in stray nearby objects are negligible.
A coil in the wall or ceiling of a room might be able to wirelessly power lights and mobile devices anywhere in the room, with reasonable efficiency.
An environmental and economic benefit of wirelessly powering small devices such as clocks, radios, music players and remote controls is that it could drastically reduce the 6 billion batteries disposed of each year, a large source of toxic waste and groundwater contamination.
Capacitive coupling also referred to as electric coupling, makes use of electric fields for the transmission of power between two electrodes (an anode and cathode) forming a capacitance for the transfer of power.
In capacitive coupling (electrostatic induction), the conjugate of inductive coupling, energy is transmitted by electric fields between electrodes such as metal plates.
An alternating voltage generated by the transmitter is applied to the transmitting plate, and the oscillating electric field induces an alternating potential on the receiver plate by electrostatic induction, which causes an alternating current to flow in the load circuit.
The amount of power transferred increases with the frequency the square of the voltage, and the capacitance between the plates, which is proportional to the area of the smaller plate and (for short distances) inversely proportional to the separation.
Capacitive coupling has only been used practically in a few low power applications, because the very high voltages on the electrodes required to transmit significant power can be hazardous, and can cause unpleasant side effects such as noxious ozone production.
In addition, in contrast to magnetic fields, electric fields interact strongly with most materials, including the human body, due to dielectric polarization.
Intervening materials between or near the electrodes can absorb the energy, in the case of humans possibly causing excessive electromagnetic field exposure.
Capacitive coupling has recently been applied to charging battery powered portable devices as well as charging or continuous wireless power transfer in biomedical implants, and is being considered as a means of transferring power between substrate layers in integrated circuits.
In this method, power is transmitted between two rotating armatures, one in the transmitter and one in the receiver, which rotate synchronously, coupled together by a magnetic field generated by permanent magnets on the armatures.
The transmitter armature is turned either by or as the rotor of an electric motor, and its magnetic field exerts torque on the receiver armature, turning it.
The receiver armature produces power to drive the load, either by turning a separate electric generator or by using the receiver armature itself as the rotor in a generator.
A rotating armature embedded in a garage floor or curb would turn a receiver armature in the underside of the vehicle to charge its batteries.
It is claimed that this technique can transfer power over distances of 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 inches) with high efficiency, over 90%.
Also, the low frequency stray magnetic fields produced by the rotating magnets produce less electromagnetic interference to nearby electronic devices than the high frequency magnetic fields produced by inductive coupling systems.
Other researchers, however, claim that the two energy conversions (electrical to mechanical to electrical again) make the system less efficient than electrical systems like inductive coupling.
Far field methods achieve longer ranges, often multiple kilometer ranges, where the distance is much greater than the diameter of the device(s).
High-directivity antennas or well-collimated laser light produce a beam of energy that can be made to match the shape of the receiving area.
In general, visible light (from lasers) and microwaves (from purpose-designed antennas) are the forms of electromagnetic radiation best suited to energy transfer.
The dimensions of the components may be dictated by the distance from transmitter to receiver, the wavelength and the Rayleigh criterion or diffraction limit, used in standard radio frequency antenna design, which also applies to lasers.
Electromagnetic radiation experiences less diffraction at shorter wavelengths (higher frequencies); so, for example, a blue laser is diffracted less than a red one.
The Rayleigh criterion dictates that any radio wave, microwave or laser beam will spread and become weaker and diffuse over distance; the larger the transmitter antenna or laser aperture compared to the wavelength of radiation, the tighter the beam and the less it will spread as a function of distance (and vice versa).
Typically, a laser aperture much larger than the wavelength induces multi-moded radiation and mostly collimators are used before emitted radiation couples into a fiber or into space.
Ultimately, beamwidth is physically determined by diffraction due to the dish size in relation to the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation used to make the beam.
Microwave power beaming can be more efficient than lasers, and is less prone to atmospheric attenuation caused by dust or water vapor.
Here, the power levels are calculated by combining the above parameters together, and adding in the gains and losses due to the antenna characteristics and the transparency and dispersion of the medium through which the radiation passes.
Power transmission via radio waves can be made more directional, allowing longer-distance power beaming, with shorter wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, typically in the microwave range.
Power beaming using microwaves has been proposed for the transmission of energy from orbiting solar power satellites to Earth and the beaming of power to spacecraft leaving orbit has been considered.
Power beaming by microwaves has the difficulty that, for most space applications, the required aperture sizes are very large due to diffraction limiting antenna directionality.
For example, the 1978 NASA study of solar power satellites required a transmitting antenna and a receiving rectenna for a microwave beam at 2.45 GHz.
These sizes can be somewhat decreased by using shorter wavelengths, although short wavelengths may have difficulties with atmospheric absorption and beam blockage by rain or water droplets.
For earthbound applications, a large-area 10 km diameter receiving array allows large total power levels to be used while operating at the low power density suggested for human electromagnetic exposure safety.
A human safe power density of 1 mW/cm distributed across a 10 km diameter area corresponds to 750 megawatts total power level.
Following World War II, which saw the development of high-power microwave emitters known as cavity magnetrons, the idea of using microwaves to transfer power was researched.
In February 1926, Yagi and his colleague Shintaro Uda published their first paper on the tuned high-gain directional array now known as the Yagi antenna.
While it did not prove to be particularly useful for power transmission, this beam antenna has been widely adopted throughout the broadcasting and wireless telecommunications industries due to its excellent performance characteristics.
Experiments in the tens of kilowatts have been performed at Goldstone in California in 1975 and more recently (1997) at Grand Bassin on Reunion Island.
A change to 24 GHz has been suggested as microwave emitters similar to LEDs have been made with very high quantum efficiencies using negative resistance, i.e., Gunn or IMPATT diodes, and this would be viable for short range links.
In 2013, inventor Hatem Zeine demonstrated how wireless power transmission using phased array antennas can deliver electrical power up to 30 feet.
In 2015, researchers at the University of Washington introduced power over Wi-Fi, which trickle-charges batteries and powered battery-free cameras and temperature sensors using transmissions from Wi-Fi routers.
It was also shown that Wi-Fi can be used to wirelessly trickle-charge nickel–metal hydride and lithium-ion coin-cell batteries at distances of up to 28 feet.
In the case of electromagnetic radiation closer to the visible region of the spectrum (tens of micrometers to tens of nanometers), power can be transmitted by converting electricity into a laser beam that is then pointed at a photovoltaic cell.
This mechanism is generally known as 'power beaming' because the power is beamed at a receiver that can convert it to electrical energy.
The first wireless power system using lasers for consumer applications was demonstrated in 2018, capable of delivering power to stationary and moving devices across a room.
Geoffrey Landis is one of the pioneers of solar power satellites and laser-based transfer of energy, especially for space and lunar missions.
Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a proof-of-concept of utilizing a dual-wavelength laser to wirelessly charge portable devices or UAVs.
When an electric field gradient exists between the two electrodes, exceeding 34 kilovolts per centimeter at sea level atmospheric pressure, an electric arc occurs.
This atmospheric dielectric breakdown results in the flow of electric current along a random trajectory through an ionized plasma channel between the two electrodes.
An example of this is natural lightning, where one electrode is a virtual point in a cloud and the other is a point on Earth.
Laser Induced Plasma Channel (LIPC) research is presently underway using ultrafast lasers to artificially promote development of the plasma channel through the air, directing the electric arc, and guiding the current across a specific path in a controllable manner.
The laser energy reduces the atmospheric dielectric breakdown voltage and the air is made less insulating by superheating, which lowers the density (formula_12) of the filament of air.
The ambient energy may come from stray electric or magnetic fields or radio waves from nearby electrical equipment, light, thermal energy (heat), or kinetic energy such as vibration or motion of the device.
Although the efficiency of conversion is usually low and the power gathered often minuscule (milliwatts or microwatts), it can be adequate to run or recharge small micropower wireless devices such as remote sensors, which are proliferating in many fields.
This new technology is being developed to eliminate the need for battery replacement or charging of such wireless devices, allowing them to operate completely autonomously.
Michael Faraday described in 1831 with his law of induction the electromotive force driving a current in a conductor loop by a time-varying magnetic flux.
Transmission of electrical energy without wires was observed by many inventors and experimenters, but lack of a coherent theory attributed these phenomena vaguely to electromagnetic induction.
Around 1884 John Henry Poynting defined the Poynting vector and gave Poynting's theorem, which describe the flow of power across an area within electromagnetic radiation and allow for a correct analysis of wireless power transfer systems.
During the same period two schemes of wireless signaling were put forward by William Henry Ward (1871) and Mahlon Loomis (1872) that were based on the erroneous belief that there was an electrified atmospheric stratum accessible at low altitude.
A more practical demonstration of wireless transmission via conduction came in Amos Dolbear's 1879 magneto electric telephone that used ground conduction to transmit over a distance of a quarter of a mile.
After 1890, inventor Nikola Tesla experimented with transmitting power by inductive and capacitive coupling using spark-excited radio frequency resonant transformers, now called Tesla coils, which generated high AC voltages.
Early on he attempted to develop a wireless lighting system based on near-field inductive and capacitive coupling and conducted a series of public demonstrations where he lit Geissler tubes and even incandescent light bulbs from across a stage.
He found he could increase the distance at which he could light a lamp by using a receiving LC circuit tuned to resonance with the transmitter's LC circuit.
Tesla failed to make a commercial product out of his findings but his resonant inductive coupling method is now widely used in electronics and is currently being applied to short-range wireless power systems.
Tesla went on to develop a wireless power distribution system that he hoped would be capable of transmitting power long distance directly into homes and factories.
Early on he seemed to borrow from the ideas of Mahlon Loomis, proposing a system composed of balloons to suspend transmitting and receiving electrodes in the air above in altitude, where he thought the pressure would allow him to send high voltages (millions of volts) long distances.
To further study the conductive nature of low pressure air he set up a test facility at high altitude in Colorado Springs during 1899.
Experiments he conducted there with a large coil operating in the megavolts range, as well as observations he made of the electronic noise of lightning strikes, led him to conclude incorrectly that he could use the entire globe of the Earth to conduct electrical energy.
The theory included driving alternating current pulses into the Earth at its resonant frequency from a grounded Tesla coil working against an elevated capacitance to make the potential of the Earth oscillate.
Tesla thought this would allow alternating current to be received with a similar capacitive antenna tuned to resonance with it at any point on Earth with very little power loss.
In 1901, at Shoreham, New York he attempted to construct a large high-voltage wireless power station, now called Wardenclyffe Tower, but by 1904 investment dried up and the facility was never completed.
Inductive power transfer between nearby wire coils was the earliest wireless power technology to be developed, existing since the transformer was developed in the 1800s.
With the advent of cordless devices, induction charging stands have been developed for appliances used in wet environments, like electric toothbrushes and electric razors, to eliminate the hazard of electric shock.
In 1892 Maurice Hutin and Maurice Leblanc patented a wireless method of powering railroad trains using resonant coils inductively coupled to a track wire at 3 kHz.
In the early 1960s resonant inductive wireless energy transfer was used successfully in implantable medical devices including such devices as pacemakers and artificial hearts.
These medical devices are designed for high efficiency using low power electronics while efficiently accommodating some misalignment and dynamic twisting of the coils.
The proliferation of portable wireless communication devices such as mobile phones, tablet, and laptop computers in recent decades is currently driving the development of mid-range wireless powering and charging technology to eliminate the need for these devices to be tethered to wall plugs during charging.
Its Qi inductive power standard published in August 2009 enables high efficiency charging and powering of portable devices of up to 5 watts over distances of 4 cm (1.6 inches).
The wireless device is placed on a flat charger plate (which can be embedded in table tops at cafes, for example) and power is transferred from a flat coil in the charger to a similar one in the device.
In 2007, a team led by Marin Soljačić at MIT used a dual resonance transmitter with a 25 cm diameter secondary tuned to 10 MHz to transfer 60 W of power to a similar dual resonance receiver over a distance of (eight times the transmitter coil diameter) at around 40% efficiency.
In 2008 the team of Greg Leyh and Mike Kennan of Nevada Lightning Lab used a grounded dual resonance transmitter with a 57 cm diameter secondary tuned to 60 kHz and a similar grounded dual resonance receiver to transfer power through coupled electric fields with an earth current return circuit over a distance of .
In 2011, Dr. Christopher A. Tucker and Professor Kevin Warwick of the University of Reading, recreated Tesla’s 1900 patent 0,645,576 in miniature and demonstrated power transmission over with a coil diameter of at a resonant frequency of 27.50 MHz, with an effective efficiency of 60%.
Radio was developed for communication uses, but couldn't be used for power transmission since the relatively low-frequency radio waves spread out in all directions and little energy reached the receiver.
For power transmission, efficient transmission required transmitters that could generate higher-frequency microwaves, which can be focused in narrow beams towards a receiver.
The development of microwave technology during World War 2, such as the klystron and magnetron tubes and parabolic antennas made radiative (far-field) methods practical for the first time, and the first long-distance wireless power transmission was achieved in the 1960s by William C. Brown.
In 1964 Brown invented the rectenna which could efficiently convert microwaves to DC power, and in 1964 demonstrated it with the first wireless-powered aircraft, a model helicopter powered by microwaves beamed from the ground.
Conceived in 1968 by Peter Glaser, this would harvest energy from sunlight using solar cells and beam it down to Earth as microwaves to huge rectennas, which would convert it to electrical energy on the electric power grid.
In landmark 1975 experiments as technical director of a JPL/Raytheon program, Brown demonstrated long-range transmission by beaming 475 W of microwave power to a rectenna a mile away, with a microwave to DC conversion efficiency of 54%.
At NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory he and Robert Dickinson transmitted 30 kW DC output power across 1.5 km with 2.38 GHz microwaves from a 26 m dish to a 7.3 x 3.5 m rectenna array.
In 1983 Japan launched MINIX (Microwave Ionosphere Nonlinear Interaction Experiment), a rocket experiment to test transmission of high power microwaves through the ionosphere.
In recent years a focus of research has been the development of wireless-powered drone aircraft, which began in 1959 with the Dept.
In 1987 Canada's Communications Research Center developed a small prototype airplane called Stationary High Altitude Relay Platform (SHARP) to relay telecommunication data between points on earth similar to a communications satellite.
The small model plane's motor was powered by electricity generated by photocells from a beam of infrared light from a ground-based laser, while a control system kept the laser pointed at the plane.
The Mitsubishi GTO is a front-engine, all-wheel drive 2+2 hatchback sports coupé and Grand Touring car manufactured and marketed by Mitsubishi for model years (MY) 1990-1999, across a single generation with one facelift.
Manufactured in Nagoya, Japan, the four passenger coupés were marketed in the Japanese domestic market (JDM) as the GTO and globally as Mitsubishi 3000GT.
The Dodge Stealth — a badge engineered, mechanically identical captive import — was sold for model years 1991-1996 along with the 1991-1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT in North America.
The GTO, 3000GT and Stealth were based on Mitsubishi's Sigma/Diamante and retained their transverse mounted 3-liter, 24-valve V6 engines and front-wheel-drive layout.
The GTO's engines were naturally aspirated or with twin-turbochargers and were also available with active aerodynamics (automatically adjusting front and rear spoilers), four-wheel-steering, full-time all-wheel-drive and adaptive suspension.
In most export markets, Mitsubishi called their product the 3000GT so as not to disrespect or cause confusion between the Mitsubishi and the Ferrari nor the Pontiac GTO.
Following the successful showing of the Mitsubishi HSR and Mitsubishi HSX concept cars at the 1989 Tokyo Motor Show, Mitsubishi unveiled the new GTO as a 2+2 seating sports coupe in order to compete with the Mazda Cosmo, Nissan 300ZX, Subaru SVX, and the Toyota Supra.
They resurrected the GTO name, and the car went on to serve as Mitsubishi's flagship for the remainder of the decade.
Despite the cachet of the badge at home, it was marketed as the Mitsubishi 3000GT and as the Dodge Stealth outside Japan; the company was concerned that connoisseurs would object to the evocative nameplate from the highly regarded Ferrari 250 GTO and Pontiac GTO being used on a Japanese vehicle.
A Dodge Stealth was scheduled as a 1991 Indianapolis 500 pace car, until the United Auto Workers (UAW) rejected it because of its Japanese rather than US-manufacture.
First generation Mitsubishi models were internally designated Z16A and incorporated full-time four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, active aerodynamics with automatically adjusting front and rear spoilers, sport/tour exhaust modes and electronically controlled suspension (ECS).
The GTO, 3000GT and Stealth featured pop-up headlights and articulated blister caps on the hood to accommodate the ECS controllers at the top of the strut turrets.
The Dodge Stealth featured a signature cross-hair front bumper fascia and crescent-shaped rear spoiler — and did not include active aerodynamics.
In the U.S., both the 1990 to 1993 Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 received the transversely mounted 24V V6 paired with a long ratio 5-speed manual.
Magazines from the era praised its brutal acceleration and AWD grip but disliked its Active Aero and other 'special' gadgets, saying they were useless and added weight to an already heavy platform.
By 1993 all electronic gadgets were still standard on the '93 VR-4, with magazines getting 0-60 times ranging from sub 5 seconds to 6.3 and quarter mile times of 13.6-13.9 at 95-98 mph Only US 3000GT models could be configured with front (FWD) rather than all-wheel drive (AWD).
The GTO SR hd similar power to the US spec 3000GT SL and was offered with the same five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.
Japanese buyers did not receive the SOHC V6 standard on the base model US only Dodge Stealth and US spec 3000GT.
Instead of the TD04-09B used on Japanese and US Twin Turbo models, the EU-spec model received the higher capacity TD04-13G turbochargers.
While power output is no higher, these have lower discharge temperatures to better handle the prolonged high speeds possible on the German Autobahn, along with an upgraded transmission.
The engine was rated at ; the modifications took time and European market models only went on sale in the autumn of 1992.
All were painted Lamborghini yellow and were equipped with a Remus sports exhaust, OZ Futura rims, a numbered plate signed by Beckenbauer, and a C-net mobile phone system.
Second generation models were internally designated Z15A (2WS) and Z16A (4WS) and featured a revised front bumper to accommodate projector beam headlights and small, round projector fog lights.
They were presented in August 1993 in Japan and gradually made their way to other markets as the first generation cars sold out.
Japanese models received an increase in torque, but limited to 280 PS manufacturers' figures the claimed peak power did not change.
The VR-4 now included a six-speed Getrag manual transmission with revised, more aggressive gear ratios, especially in lower gears like 3rd which went until approximately 107 mph (vs the first generation 3000GT VR-4's third gear which went until 120 mph).
With subsequent price increases, features were discontinued: the tunable exhaust was phased out after model year 1994, the ECS after model year 1995, and the active aerodynamics disappeared after 1996.
This was also when Chrysler ceased sales of the Dodge Stealth captive import, and for the remainder of its life only Mitsubishi-badged versions were available.
Chrysler and Mitsubishi worked with ASC to engineer and convert 3000GTs into retractable hardtops, marketed as the Spyder VR4 for MY 1995-1996.
In 1995 Mitsubishi's 3000GT Spyder was available in four color combinations: red with grey leather interior, black with ivory leather interior, white pearl with grey, and martinique yellow with ivory leather interior.
In 1996 the 3000GT Spyder was available in red with tan interior, black pearl with tan leather, white pearl with tan leather interior, and green pearl with tan leather.
The ‘Mitsubishi Racing’ or MR moniker, has been used in most performance Mitsubishis such as the Lancer Evolution, and usually meant a stripped or lighter model.
The GTO MR was essentially a lightweight GTO Twin Turbo that deleted 4WS, ABS, ECS and Active Aero, but was mechanically identical to the normal GTO Twin Turbo.
Best Motoring, a Japanese television program about Japanese cars, debuted the 1994 GTO MR in an hour long program where it beat the lighter R32 Skyline GT-R over a mile in acceleration.
As the years went on, the Tuneable Exhaust System was phased out in 1995 and the Active Aero was phased out in 1996, allowing for less weight, which made the vehicle much quicker on its feet.
The new 6-speed, while notchy, was geared well and the extra horsepower and torque allowed it to out-accelerate most of its rivals from a standing start to top speed or from a rolling start.
Road tests at the time showed the second generation 3000GT VR-4 to be capable of in 4.8 - 5.4 seconds and the quarter mile in 13.5 seconds at , making it faster in a straight line than the Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo and Mazda RX-7 Twin Turbo.
The SOHC engine, previously only available in the base model Stealth, was added to the Mitsubishi range after the Dodge version was discontinued.
Slower sales in the American sports car market led to a planned facelift for 1997 being abandoned in favor of minor cosmetic adjustments, including a new front bumper and rainbow shaped arched type wing.
With sales slowing to a trickle and new side impact regulations looming, production for the Japanese domestic market finally ceased in 2000.
Rare groove is primarily associated with funk, jazz funk and rock music, but is also connected to subgenres including jazz rock, reggae, Latin jazz, soul, R&B, northern soul, and disco.
Rare groove records have been sought by not only collectors and lovers of this type of music, but also by hip-hop artists and producers.
While Norman Jay was actually a witness to, and participant in, the 1970s underground sub-culture of American obscure import music; the person who actually gave rise to the genre (some even credit him with the revival of James Brown's career), although there was no name for it at the time, was underground DJ Barrie Sharpe and Lascelles Gordon (previously with The Brand New Heavies).
The magazine also had their own record label (also called Contempo), releasing music from the 1970s which, starting in 1984, played at a club previously known as Whisky-A-Go-Go, founded by Rene Gelston in Wardour Street, Soho (which would later become known as The Wag).
Norman Jay's show was a collaboration with DJ Judge Jules and featured a mainly urban soundtrack from the 1970s and 1980s mixed with early house music.
The rare groove scene began when DJs presented an eclectic mix of music, that placed a particular emphasis on politically articulate dance-funk recordings, connected to the Black Power movement.
Sampling is one of the biggest aspects of hip hop and rap, and these types of records provide breaks for artists to use in their songs.
After the collapse of Jazz and funk-influenced disco, many musicians who had made a name for themselves under the genre of disco's mainstream success had the spotlight taken away from them (it effectively ruined and ended their careers).
Northern Soul is a part of the rare groove scene since the term was first given by Dave Godin from the record shop Soul City in Covent Garden, London.
The scene has many record collectors and DJs who pay large sums of money for rare songs from the 1960s/1970s/1980s/1990s that are original copies.
Timothy Lauro Squire Sprigge (14 January 1932 – 11 July 2007), usually cited as T. L. S. Sprigge, was a British idealist philosopher who spent the latter portion of his career at the University of Edinburgh, where he was Professor of Logic and Metaphysics, and latterly an Emeritus Fellow.
He studied English at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge (1952–1955), then switched to philosophy, completing his PhD under A. J. Ayer.
He taught philosophy at University College, London and Sussex University before becoming Regius Professor of Logic and Metaphysics at the University of Edinburgh.
Throughout his career he argued that physicalism or materialism is not only false, but has contributed to a distortion of our moral sense.
The failure to respect the rights of human beings and non-human animals is therefore largely a metaphysical error of failing to grasp the true reality of the first person, subjective perspective of consciousness, or sentience.
The practice of vivisection, which gained wide acceptance with Descartes's view of animals as machines, would be an example of this failure.
He also defended a version of determinism in which all moments of time are intrinsically present and only relatively past or future.
The Timothy Sprigge Room at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh contains Sprigge's library.
The 6-foot-tall, 190-pound Hejduk was drafted 87th overall by the Quebec Nordiques in the fourth round of the 1994 NHL Entry Draft, after a year with HC Pardubice in the Czech Extraliga, after winning Czech Rookie of the Year with 11 goals in 32 games.
He stayed with Pardubice until 1998, scoring 14, 13, 27 and 26 goals in his next four seasons respectively before transferring to the NHL after the 1997–98 season.
Hejduk scored a goal against the Calgary Flames in a 3–0 win for the Avalanche on March 12, 2006, tying him with Peter Forsberg in sixth place on the all-time Avalanche franchise goalscoring list with 216 goals.
In the 2008–09 season, Hejduk scored his 300th career NHL goal alongside Ryan Smyth on January 18, 2009, against the Calgary Flames in a 6–2 victory at the Pepsi Center.
He dressed for all 82 games that year for the Avalanche and ended what was, at that point, their most unsuccessful season in history tied with Smyth as the Avs' top scorer with 59 points.
Prior to the 2009–10 season, on September 24, 2009, Hejduk signed a new one-year contract with Colorado effective for the 2010–11 season.
Alongside long-time teammate and team captain Adam Foote, Hejduk provided veteran leadership to a re-invigorated, youth-laden Avalanche side to start the year.
After initially persisting with a knee and back injuries through the first half of the season, on January 19, 2010, Milan opted to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery and forgo participating in the 2010 Winter Olympics with the Czech Republic to recoup.
After over one month on the sidelines, Hejduk scored two goals against the St. Louis Blues to mark his return on March 7.
In helping Colorado return to the Stanley Cup playoffs, he completed the year to place third on the team with 23 goals despite playing in a career-low 56 games.
He scored just one goal in the 2010 playoffs before he succumbed to a head injury after a collision with line-mate Paul Stastny in Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals series defeat against the San Jose Sharks.
On November 14, he was named the third captain in Avalanche history after a brief vacancy was left by Adam Foote's retirement.
Shortly after the 2011–12 season, after the Avs would miss the playoffs for the second time in two years, Hejduk expressed his consideration to retire from the NHL.
Despite these statements, on May 18, 2012, he signed a one-year contract with the Avalanche for the 2012–13 season worth $2 million.
He admitted to being happy to have given up his captaincy to a player who he thinks is going to be a franchise player for a long time.
In the lockout-shortened 2012–13 season, Hejduk became the last player drafted by the Quebec Nordiques still active in the NHL, after goaltender Tim Thomas opted for a year on hiatus.
On February 4, 2013, in a 3–2 defeat to the Dallas Stars, Hejduk scored a goal in his 1,000th career NHL game.
He became the first Avalanche player in history to appear in 1,000 games for the club and the 30th in NHL history to do so at a single franchise.
On his 37th birthday, Hejduk scored a goal and a shoot-out goal in a 4–3 victory over the Minnesota Wild on February 14, 2013.
The goal marked his 800th point in the NHL, becoming just the third Czech-born player in NHL history to reach the feat, behind only Jaromír Jágr and Patrik Eliáš.
With injury and bouts of healthy scratches, he contributed from the checking lines with a career-low 4 goals and 11 points in only 29 games played.
Despite harbouring ambition to continue playing, Hejduk was not offered a new contract by the Avalanche upon the expiry of his contract.
He finished his tenure ranked second in Quebec/Colorado franchise history in games played (1,020), fourth in goals (375) and points (805) and fifth in assists (430), while also the all-time franchise leader in overtime goals (9) and second in game-winning goals (59).
Reports surfaced on November 13, 2013, that Hejduk was ending his hockey career, which were confirmed after the 2014 Olympic break.
At the time of his retirement, he was the last player to leave the Avalanche that had played on their 2001 Stanley Cup-winning team.
On September 13, 2017, it was announced that the Avalanche would retire Hejduk's number 23 jersey during the 2017–18 season, and it was officially retired on January 6, 2018.
For the 2001 All-Star Game, he was chosen to replace an injured Jaromír Jágr in the starting line-up, one of the six Avalanche players selected as starters.
The natural rate of unemployment is the name that was given to a key concept in the study of economic activity.
Milton Friedman and Edmund Phelps, tackling this 'human' problem in the 1960s, both received the Nobel Prize in economics for their work, and the development of the concept is cited as a main motivation behind the prize.
This level is consistent with aggregate production in the absence of various temporary frictions such as incomplete price adjustment in labor and goods markets.
If these institutional features involve permanent mismatches in the labor market or real wage rigidities, the natural rate of unemployment may feature involuntary unemployment.
The natural rate of unemployment is a combination of frictional and structural unemployment that persists in an efficient, expanding economy when labor and resource markets are in equilibrium.
Occurrence of disturbances (e.g., cyclical shifts in investment sentiments) will cause actual unemployment to continuously deviate from the natural rate, and be partly determined by aggregate demand factors as under a Keynesian view of output determination.
The policy implication is that the natural rate of unemployment cannot permanently be reduced by demand management policies (including monetary policy), but that such policies can play a role in stabilizing variations in actual unemployment.
Reductions in the natural rate of unemployment must, according to the concept, be achieved through structural policies directed towards an economy's supply side.
When he illustrated the idea of the Natural Rate he simply used the standard text-book labor market demand and supply model that was essentially the same as Don Patinkin's model of full employment.
In this there is a competitive labor market with both labor supply and demand depend on the real wage and the natural rate is simply the competitive equilibrium where demand equals supply.
Friedman argued that inflation was the same as wage rises, and built his argument upon a widely believed idea, that a stable negative relation between inflation and unemployment existed.
Friedman and Phelps opposed this idea on theoretical grounds, as they noted that if unemployment were to be permanently lower, some real variable in the economy, like the real wage, would have changed permanently.
According to Friedman and Phelps, the Phillips curve was therefore vertical in the long run, and expansive demand policies would only be a cause of inflation, not a cause of permanently lower unemployment.
For Friedman, the notion that there was a unique Natural rate was equivalent to his assertion that there is only one level of unemployment at which inflation can be fully anticipated (when actual and expected inflation are the same).
Edmund Phelps focused more in detail on the labor market structures and frictions that would cause aggregate demand changes to feed into inflation, and for sluggish expectations, into the determination of the unemployment rate.
Also, his theories gave insights into the causes of a too high natural rate of unemployment (i.e., why unemployment could be structural or classical).
Importantly, Milton Friedman himself never wrote down an explicit model of the natural rate (in his Nobel Lecture, he just uses the simple labor supply and demand model).
John Wimber (February 25, 1934 – November 17, 1997) was a musician, former Quaker, an early, pioneering pastor of charismatic congregations, and a popular author and thought leader in modern Christian publications on the third person of the Christian Trinity, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit's perceived action in modern churches through miraculous phenomena referred to as signs and wonders.
Wimber was a founding leader of the first Vineyard church, a Christian movement that began in the United States and has become, as of 2017, a wider denomination.
He grew up outside of a religious- or faith-based belief system until he became a Christian at the age of 29.
Wimber was recognised as a talented musician, and he first played as a professional at the age of 15 at the Dixie Castle in Orange, California.
He was a pianist and singer in The Paramours group, later known as The Righteous Brothers, from 1962-1963, as well as a manager for The Righteous Brothers during this same timeframe.
He was the Founding Director of the Department of Church Growth at the Charles E. Fuller Institute of Evangelism and Church Growth from 1974-1978, which was founded by the Fuller Theological Seminary and the Fuller Evangelistic Association.
After initially joining Calvary Chapel, the church had some differences with the Calvary Chapel leadership, relating mainly to the practice of spiritual gifts, Wimber's rejection of traditional Dispensationalism, and his embrace of Kingdom theology.
As a result, the differences over spiritual gifts, Wimber and his followers left Calvary Chapel, and joined a small group of churches started by Kenn Gulliksen, known as Vineyard Christian Fellowships, which became an international Vineyard Movement.
Wimber taught and preached about spiritual gifts and healings, which allegedly began to occur in May 1980 when evangelist Lonnie Frisbee ministered.
Both during his lifetime and since his death the Vineyard Movement has established thousands of churches across the USA and internationally.
However, while popularly considered to be a charismatic teacher, Wimber himself (along with the leaders of the Vineyard Movement) repeatedly rejected the charismatic label as applying to their teachings.
Whereas the previous groups had emphasized the gift of tongues as the only evidence for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, Wimber and those he influenced emphasized that this was just one of the many spiritual gifts available to believers, as taught in the Bible.
Services led by Wimber often included activities, described as Holy Spirit manifestations, where congregants appeared to be drunk, dazed, or uncoordinated.
But in the mid-1990s he led the Vineyard movement to split from the Toronto Blessing church primarily on the issue of bizarre manifestations and the church's extreme latitude for them.
The pursuit of authenticity was at the core of Wimber's idea of church, and this was reflected in the worship as well.
Wimber tentatively held to a modified evangelical view on baptism of the Holy Spirit that says it happens at conversion but that there is an experiential aspect (e.g.
This view believes the Bible to teach that a husband is called to lovingly lead, protect and provide for his wife and family, and that the wife should joyfully and intelligently affirm and submit to her husband's leadership.
Complementarians also believe the Bible to teach that men are to bear primary responsibility to lead the church and that therefore only men should be elders.
Another characteristic is in the area of teaching, which emphasized preaching extensively from the gospels and using Jesus as the model for Christian believers.
While this is not a new concept, Wimber was a key figure in the introduction of the concept that praying for the sick (or anything else) shouldn't be saved for special healing services, but should take place at every Church service, and out on the streets (by every believer).
Wimber's teaching has had a significant influence on other Charismatic leaders, such as Mike Bickle, Terry Virgo, Randy Clark, John Arnott, Bill Johnson, John Paul Jackson, Sandy Millar, David Pytches and Sam Storms.
Critics also argue that Wimber's emphasis on dramatic proofs of spiritual power show a lack of reliance on the Bible, and instead rely on practices derived from New Age philosophy and humanistic psychology.
The next month his cardiologist confirmed he had a damaged heart and told him that his weight and schedule put him at risk of imminent death.
His mental faculties were declining and later that same year Wimber fell in his home and hit his head; this caused a massive brain hemorrhage from which he died on November 17, 1997.
On the one hand, we know that God is sovereign and that he sent Jesus to commission us to pray for and heal the sick.
This can be downright discouraging, as I learned years ago in my own congregation when I began to teach on healing.
Barnaby played in the NHL for the Buffalo Sabres, Pittsburgh Penguins, Tampa Bay Lightning, New York Rangers, Colorado Avalanche, Chicago Blackhawks and the Dallas Stars.
Barnaby was drafted from the QMJHL where he spent four seasons with the Beauport Harfangs, Verdun Collège Français and Victoriaville Tigres, leading the league in penalty minutes in consecutive seasons in '92 and '93.
Barnaby was generally considered a pest and agitator and spent the next few seasons playing between the Sabres and AHL affiliate the Rochester Americans.
He was frequently involved in on-ice altercations and among other incidents he made headlines in 1996, when in a game against the Philadelphia Flyers after a few hits and Barnaby lying on the ice presumably injured, a brawl between the two teams started.
With the brawl in full motion, Barnaby jumped to his skates to punish Garth Snow, goaltender of the Flyers, who was poking Barnaby with his stick while the officials weren't looking.
After seven seasons with the Sabres organization during the 1998–99 season, Barnaby was traded by the Sabres to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Stu Barnes on March 11, 1999.
One of his most celebrated fights came the following season in 2000 against his former Sabre teammate Rob Ray after dining with Ray the previous night.
Barnaby played in 129 games with the Penguins before he was traded on February 1, 2001, by Pittsburgh to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Wayne Primeau.
After struggling to provide an impact to start the 2001–02 season for the Lightning, Barnaby was again traded to the New York Rangers for Zdeno Ciger on December 12, 2001.
After going scoreless with the Tampa Bay in 29 games Barnaby responded with resurgence of form with the Rangers, scoring 21 points in only 48 games.
Matthew became a fan favourite in the Big Apple and played in 196 games before he was traded to the playoff bound Colorado Avalanche in the 2003–04 season, for David Liffiton and Chris McAllister on March 8, 2004.
He played only 39 games with the Stars before suffering a season ending concussion against the Phoenix Coyotes on January 9, 2007.
In September 2007, it was announced via the Sabres website that Barnaby would be given a tryout for replacing Jim Lorentz as color commentator for the Sabres.
Barnaby was forced to depart Time Warner Cable SportsNet after joining ESPN as its lead NHL analyst in October 2008, when Barry Melrose returned to the league to coach the Tampa Bay Lightning.
On December 5, 2011, ESPN terminated its contract with Barnaby after his arrest on suspicion of DWI earlier in the day.
He is mostly of Anglo-Canadian origins, but speaks fluent French, having moved to the province of Quebec with his family, at a young age.
He has personally been involved in endless events and has helped raise millions of dollars for a disease that touches close to his heart.
The pressure-sensitive element, a partially evacuated metal cylinder, is linked to a pen arm in such a way that the vertical displacement of the pen is proportional to the changes in the atmospheric pressure.
Alexander Cumming, a watchmaker and mechanic, has a claim to having made the first effective recording barograph in the 1760s using an aneroid cell.
In such barographs one or more aneroid cells act through a gear or lever train to drive a recording arm that has at its extreme end either a scribe or a pen.
Commonly, the drum makes one revolution per day, per week, or per month and the rotation rate can often be selected by the user.
Karl Kreil described a machine in 1843 based on a syphon barometer, where a pencil marked a chart at uniform intervals.
Ronalds’ barograph was utilised by the UK Meteorological Office for many years to assist in weather forecasting and the machines were supplied to numerous observatories around the world.
Today, traditional recording barographs for meteorological use have commonly been superseded (though not all) by electronic weather instruments that use computer methods to record the barometric pressure.
These are not only less expensive than earlier barographs but they may also offer both greater recording length and the ability to perform further data analysis on the captured data including automated use of the data to forecast the weather.
Older mechanical barographs are highly prized by collectors as they make good display items, often being made of high quality woods and brass.
The late Victorian to early 20th century is generally considered to be the heyday of Barograph manufacture, many important refinements were made at this time, including improved temperature compensation and modification of the pen arm, to allow less weight to be applied to the paper, allowing better registration of small pressure changes (i.e.
Marine barographs (used on ships) often include damping, this evens out the motion of the ship so that a more stable reading can be obtained, this can be either oil damping of the mechanism or simple coiled spring feet on the base.
As atmospheric pressure responds in a predictable manner to changes in altitude, barographs may be used to record elevation changes during an aircraft flight.
A continuously varying trace indicated that the sailplane had not landed during a task, while measurements from a calibrated trace could be used to establish the completion of altitude tasks or the setting of records.
Examples of FAI approved sailplane barographs included the Replogle mechanical drum barograph and the EW electronic barograph (which may be used in conjunction with GPS).
The observer should pick the 6 because it represents the last part of the trace and is thus most representative of the pressure change.
As the pressure increases, the aneroid is pushed down causing the arm to move up and leave a trace on the paper.
At this point the clockwork motor is wound and if necessary corrections can be made to increase or decrease the speed and new chart is attached.
Test for Echo is the sixteenth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released on September 10, 1996 on Anthem Records.
It marks the final Rush work prior to the tragic events in Neil Peart's life that put the band on hiatus for several years, as well as the final Rush album to be co-produced by Peter Collins.
The group then took a usual break in activity, but this went on to last eighteen months as bassist and vocalist Geddy Lee wanted to be at home for the first year of his daughter's life.
In October 1995, the band decided to start work on the next Rush album and, like with their previous three albums, retreated to Chalet Studios in Claremont, Ontario to write and rehearse.
Lee and Lifeson completed almost six songs before they presented any of their work to Peart as they did not want to interrupt the flow of their productive writing.
They had reserved the studio for around ten weeks, but the productive sessions resulted in the writing finishing three weeks early.
Lifeson said the group were in particularly good spirits throughout the album's production and put it down to the break they had taken.
Rush adopted their usual method of Lee and Lifeson working on the music with Peart working alone on the lyrics, but the music was written in a different way than before.
In the past, the writing had Lee and Lifeson form songs by matching pieces of music to verses and choruses as they went and all three would listen to what was put down and exchange ideas to develop them further.
This time, lyrics were matched with suitable sections of music, after which they were recorded and Lee and Lifeson would work on something else.
In November 1995, the group were faced with heavy snow at Chalet Studios which led into the North American blizzard of 1996 in early January.
Almost all of the tracks were written, arranged, and put onto a demo tape by December 1995, and the band were then joined by Peter Collins who they chose to resume his role as their co-producer.
They chose recording engineer Clif Norrell, a longtime fan of the band who once performed Rush cover songs in his own group.
The group made a conscious decision not to enter the studio until Wallace had prepared a mix for them to comment on.
They wanted to dramatise the first lyrical phrase by incorporating major chords, but Lee said a first version of the track was put together some years prior, but never used.

Under his reign, Bhutan continued to maintain almost complete isolation from the outside world, maintaining only limited relations with the British Raj in India.
Down to Earth is a 2001 American fantasy-comedy film directed by Chris and Paul Weitz and written by Chris Rock, Lance Crouther, Ali LeRoi and Louis C.K.
Lance Barton (Chris Rock) is a struggling comedian who is quite funny and confident in his personality, but is unable to bring his talent across in front of an audience.
After being booed off stage one night he hears about an opportunity from his manager, Whitney Daniels (Frankie Faison), at the Apollo Theater, which is having a goodbye show due to its imminent closing.
He is hoping to get a chance to prove himself in front of a real audience, when on his way home riding a bike Lance is distracted by Sontee Jenkins (Regina King).
Because of this, Lance is brought up to Heaven where he meets the angels, King (Chazz Palminteri) and Keyes (Eugene Levy) who reveal that Lance has died before his time, and can help Lance return to Earth.
After sorting through many, they find Charles Wellington III, (Brian Rhodes) an extremely rich businessman freshly drowned in his tub by his wife (Jennifer Coolidge) and assistant, Winston Sklar (Greg Germann).
Lance wants nothing to do with the body until he discovers that Sontee, the woman he saw when he was Lance, is protesting Charles by handcuffing herself to a coffee table in his penthouse, demanding Charles' presence.
Despite recent events he continues to follow his comedy dreams through Charles, contacting his old manager Whitney and convincing him that he is Lance reincarnated.
All too soon, Charles' wife and Sklar's plans to murder him succeed as he is shot and killed by a hired assassin.
Fulfilling the deal Lance and King set up earlier, King and Keyes then send Lance to return yet again to Earth as Joe Guy, a great comedian and more acceptable candidate who will die in a car accident.
As a result, he reconnects with Whitney again and proceeds in getting Sontee to fall in love with him all over again, after meeting her in the theater for the first time as Joe Guy.
The film grossed $64.2 million in the United States, plus $7 million outside the US, for a combined gross of $71.2 million.
In olden times, the term was also applied to descendants of the khans (tsars) of Kazan, Kasimov, and Siberia after these khanates had been conquered by Russia.
The descendants of the deposed royal families of Georgia or the Batonishvili were given the titles of Tsarevich until 1833 when they were demoted to Knyaz after a failed coup to restore the Georgian monarchies.
Pherecydes of Leros should not be confused with Pherecydes of Syros, the mid-6th-century philosopher, who was sometimes mentioned as one of the Seven Sages of Greece and was reputed to have been the teacher of Pythagoras.
However, numerous fragments of his ten-book genealogies of the gods and heroes, which was written in the Ionian dialect to glorify the ancestors in the heroic age of his 5th-century patrons, have been preserved.
A laboratory information management system (LIMS), sometimes referred to as a laboratory information system (LIS) or laboratory management system (LMS), is a software-based solution with features that support a modern laboratory's operations.
The features and uses of a LIMS have evolved over the years from simple sample tracking to an enterprise resource planning tool that manages multiple aspects of laboratory informatics.
The definition of a LIMS is somewhat controversial: LIMSs are dynamic because the laboratory's requirements are rapidly evolving and different labs often have different needs.
Assay data management, data mining, data analysis, and electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) integration have been added to many LIMS, enabling the realization of translational medicine completely within a single software solution.
Up until the late 1970s, the management of laboratory samples and the associated analysis and reporting were time-consuming manual processes often riddled with transcription errors.
Custom in-house solutions were developed by a few individual laboratories, while some enterprising entities at the same time sought to develop a more commercial reporting solution in the form of special instrument-based systems.
In 1982 the first generation of LIMS was introduced in the form of a single centralized minicomputer, which offered laboratories the first opportunity to utilize automated reporting tools.
As the interest in these early LIMS grew, industry leaders like Gerst Gibbon of the Federal Energy Technology Center in Pittsburgh began planting the seeds through LIMS-related conferences.
By 1988 the second-generation commercial offerings were tapping into relational databases to expand LIMS into more application-specific territory, and International LIMS Conferences were in full swing.
From 1996 to 2002 additional functionality was included in LIMS, from wireless networking capabilities and georeferencing of samples, to the adoption of XML standards and the development of Internet purchasing.
Additions include clinical functionality, electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) functionality, as well a rise in the software as a service (SaaS) distribution model.
This typically is initiated when a sample is received in the laboratory, at which point the sample will be registered in the LIMS.
The processing could then include a step where the sample container is registered and sent to the customer for the sample to be taken and then returned to the lab.
Location tracking usually involves assigning the sample to a particular freezer location, often down to the granular level of shelf, rack, box, row, and column.
LIMS vendors cannot typically make assumptions about what these data tracking needs are, and therefore vendors must create LIMS that are adaptable to individual environments.
LIMS users may also have regulatory concerns to comply with such as CLIA, HIPAA, GLP, and FDA specifications, affecting certain aspects of sample management in a LIMS solution.
One key to compliance with many of these standards is audit logging of all changes to LIMS data, and in some cases a full electronic signature system is required for rigorous tracking of field-level changes to LIMS data.
The LIMS may then import instrument results files to extract data for quality control assessment of the operation on the sample.
Access to the instrument data can sometimes be regulated based on chain of custody assignments or other security features if need be.
Furthermore, in the case of drug and diagnostic development as many as 12 or more assays may be run for each sample.
In order to track this data, a LIMS solution needs to be adaptable to many different assay formats at both the data layer and import creation layer, while maintaining a high level of overall performance.
Some LIMS products address this by simply attaching assay data as BLOBs to samples, but this limits the utility of that data in data mining and downstream analysis.
The exponentially growing volume of data created in laboratories, coupled with increased business demands and focus on profitability, have pushed LIMS vendors to increase attention to how their LIMS handles electronic data exchanges.
Attention must be paid to how an instrument's input and output data is managed, how remote sample collection data is imported and exported, and how mobile technology integrates with the LIMS.
In addition to mobile and database electronic data exchange, many LIMS support real-time data exchange with Electronic Health Records used in core hospital or clinic operations.
Aside from the key functions of sample management, instrument and application integration, and electronic data exchange, there are numerous additional operations that can be managed in a LIMS.
A thick-client LIMS is a more traditional client/server architecture, with some of the system residing on the computer or workstation of the user (the client) and the rest on the server.
This was one of the first architectures implemented into a LIMS, having the advantage of providing higher processing speeds (because processing is done on the client and not the server).
The disadvantages of client-side LIMS include the need for more robust client computers and more time-consuming upgrades, as well as a lack of base functionality through a web browser.
This secrecy-of-design reliance is known as security through obscurity and ignores an adversary's ability to mimic client-server interaction through, for example, reverse engineering, network traffic interception, or simply purchasing a thick-client license.
The actual LIMS software resides on a server (host) which feeds and processes information without saving it to the user's hard disk.
Any necessary changes, upgrades, and other modifications are handled by the entity hosting the server-side LIMS software, meaning all end-users see all changes made.
However, this architecture has the disadvantage of requiring real-time server access, a need for increased network throughput, and slightly less functionality.
A sort of hybrid architecture that incorporates the features of thin-client browser usage with a thick client installation exists in the form of a web-based LIMS.
These solutions tend to be less configurable than on-premises solutions and are therefore considered for less demanding implementations such as laboratories with few users and limited sample processing volumes.
Pricing levels are typically based on a percentage of the license fee, with a standard level of service for 10 concurrent users being approximately 10 hours of support and additional customer service, at a roughly $200 per hour rate.
Though some may choose to opt out of an MSW after the first year, it's often more economical to continue the plan in order to receive updates to the LIMS, giving it a longer life span in the laboratory.
In this setup, the client-side software has additional functionality that allows users to interface with the software through their device's browser.
The primary advantage of a web-enabled LIMS is the end-user can access data both on the client side and the server side of the configuration.
However, the added disadvantages of requiring always-on access to the host server and the need for cross-platform functionality mean that additional overhead costs may arise.
While much of the client-side work is done through a web browser, the LIMS may also require the support of desktop software installed on the client device.
The end result is a process that is apparent to the end-user through a web browser, but perhaps not so apparent as it runs thick-client-like processing in the background.
This enables the user to install and run a Windows-based smart client application by clicking a link in a web page.
ClickOnce applications can be self-updating; they can check for newer versions as they become available and automatically replace any updated files.
This is due in part to the diversity of requirements within each lab, but also to the inflexible nature of most LIMS products for adapting to these widely varying requirements.
Newer LIMS solutions are beginning to emerge that take advantage of modern techniques in software design that are inherently more configurable and adaptable — particularly at the data layer — than prior solutions.
This means not only that implementations are much faster, but also that the costs are lower and the risk of obsolescence is minimized.
A LIMS traditionally has been designed to process and report data related to batches of samples from biology labs, water treatment facilities, drug trials, and other entities that handle complex batches of data.
A LIMS may need to satisfy good manufacturing practice (GMP) and meet the reporting and audit needs of the regulatory bodies and research scientists in many different industries.
An LIS is regulated as a medical device by the FDA, and the companies that produce the software are therefore liable for defects.
The Reform movement, sometimes referred to as the Reform Party, began in the 1830s as the movement in the English speaking parts of British North America (Canada).
The movement dissolved after responsible government was granted to the Province of Canada in 1848, with members forming the Parti bleu and Parti rouge in Canada East and the Liberal Party in Canada West, among other smaller parties.
The uprising led to the 1839 Durham Report, which recommended responsible government and the union of Upper and Lower Canada as a means of assimilating Francophones.
They eventually succeeded in obtaining a democratically-accountable executive and the first administration under the principle of responsible government came to power in 1848.
By the 1850s, the Reform movement had dissipated: moderate reformers had joined with Tories in 1854 to form a Liberal-Conservative coalition government under the leadership of John A. Macdonald and George-Étienne Cartier.
In 1857, under the leadership of George Brown, the Clear Grits and left wing Reformers formed the Liberal Party in Canada West.
This party would later join with the Parti rouge and Maritime Liberal parties to form the Liberal Party of Canada after Confederation.
Panth Rattan Shiri Gurcharan Singh Tohra (24 September 1924 – 1 April 2004) was a president of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), a Sikh body in charge of controlling Gurdwara (Sikh places of worship).
He remained the head of the SGPC for a record 27 years, and was one of the most influential and controversial Sikh leaders of the 20th century.
It included Pope of the Sikhs, Pearl of the Panth, Kingmaker, Pope, Messiah, Reformist, Conformist, Forever-Dissenter, Wily Fox, Wily Politician, and Machiavelli.
Born at Tohra village of Patiala district in Punjab in September 1924, he had an early interest in religion and was an active Akali worker even before the partition of India.
Tohra, a graduate in Punjabi from Lahore University, worked at the grass root level for the next two decades and came into contact with Communists, including CPI-M leader Harkishan Singh Surjeet though he did not become one himself.
Known as a hardliner, Tohra had carved out for himself the image of a non-conformist with the powers-that-be in Akali politics and had taken frontline SAD leaders Surjit Singh Barnala and Parkash Singh Badal who had headed Akali Dal governments in Punjab in the eighties and nineties.
Tohra was a member of Lok Sabha in 1977–79 though earlier he was elected as a member of the Rajya Sabha five times from Punjab from 1969 to 1976 and re-elected in May 1980, April 1982, in April 1998 and in March 2004.
An agriculturalist, Tohra was first jailed in 1945 during the Riyasti Praja Mandal Movement in Nabha, in 1950 for formation of popular government in PEPSU.
In 1955 and 1960 Tohra was put behind bars in connection with Punjabi Suba agitations, in 1973 in connection with Kisan agitation in Haryana, in 1975, under MISA and under NSA and TADA and religious matters, including Dharam Yudh Morcha and Operation Blue Star (1984).
Tohra became the acting president of SGPC, which manages key Sikh shrines, in 1972 after the death of Sant Chanan Singh and was formally elected its president for the first time in November that year.
Tohra continued to head the SGPC, considered the mini-parliament of the Sikh community, for a record 27 years before he was unceremoniously removed from the key post following a split in SAD in the wake of his revolt against Badal's leadership.
Tohra was arrested during the Emergency and was very popular in Punjab until Jarnail Singh Bhindranwala emerged on the scene and militancy took over Sikh politics.
During Operation Blue Star, the Indian army action in 1984 to clear up the Golden temple complex from militants, Tohra was the President of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee.
That began a period of crisis for Tohra as he seemed to favour Bhindranwala's ideas which did not sit well with the opposition.
After Operation Blue Star in 1984, Tohra became an embittered man and did not endorse the Punjab accord put forward by the Rajiv Gandhi government to the Akalis for sharing political power with Harchand Singh Longowal.
He took another controversial step some time later by having Sikhs demolish the Akal Takht which was rebuilt after Operation Blue Star by pro-government religious leaders.
This turned him into the 'bete noire' not only of the Centre but also of the then Akali government in Punjab headed by Surjit Singh Barnala which had opposed the move.
Throughout this bleak period, Tohra was supported by Badal but in 1999, the two leaders, considered the best of friends, fell out after the SGPC chief pressed for Badal's removal as SAD chief.
The origin of Tohra-Badal feud could be traced to the former's casual remarks, made in November 1998, suggesting one-man-one-post for Akali Dal leaders.
According to historian Dr Harjinder Singh Dilgeer, the personal opponents of Tohra availed this opportunity and provoked Badal to expel the latter from the SGPC and the Akali Dal.
At this, Badal had Tohra removed as SGPC chief on 16 March 1999, a few days before the commencement of tercentenary celebrations of the birth of the Khalsa at Anandpur Sahib.
Tohra was then expelled from SAD forcing him to form a new party Sarv Hind Shiromani Akali Dal with five members of Badal's cabinet, including Manjit Singh Calcutta, Mahesh Inder Singh Grewal, Harmail Singh , Inderjit Singh Zira and Surjit Singh Koli, who all resigned in protest against the expulsion.
Badal consolidated his grip on Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of Sikhism, by removing Bhai Ranjit Singh as its top Jathedar in February 1999 and installing his hand-picked Giani Puran Singh.
Adversity brought Tohra and Badal together again after SAD was routed in the February 2002 assembly elections in Punjab and Tohra's SSHAD failed to win even a single seat.
Badal was at the receiving end of Amarinder Singh-headed Congress government's anti-corruption campaign as vigilance personnel searched his premises as well as those of his MP son Sukhbir Singh Badal in Punjab and outside.
After this, considering the panthik interests more important the then prominent Sikh leader and scholar Prof. Kirpal Singh Badungar left his seat of SGPC president for Tohra.
On 13 June 2003, Badal and Tohra finally buried the hatchet after the latter welcomed the former's appearance before the Akal Takht and expressed satisfaction over the mild religious punishment ordered by the Sikh clergy to the former chief minister.
After splitting with the Shiromani Akali Dal led by Parkash Singh Badal, Tohra floated his own party called the All India Shiromani Akali Dal (also called the Sarv Hind Shiromani Akali Dal).
Five ministers of the ruling government Science and Technology Minister Mahesh Inder Singh Grewal, Higher Education Minister Manjit Singh Calcutta, Public Works Minister Harmel Singh and Ministers of State Inderjit Singh Zira and Surjit Singh Kohli quit the ruling government and joined Tohra.
Gurcharan Singh Tohra was married to Joginder Kaur who died at the age of 83 on 26 January 2011 nephew upkar Singh tohra.
Although the Bharatiya Janata Party was upset at Tohra's remarks comparing the then Prime Minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee with the Indira Gandhi, Vajpayee paid his tributes to Tohra on his death.
J. Martin Hattersley (born November 10, 1932) is an Edmonton lawyer and a long-time activist in the Canadian social credit movement.
Born in Swinton, near Rotherham, Yorkshire, England, Hattersley earned degrees in economics and law from Cambridge University before moving to Alberta in 1956 where he worked as a lawyer.
From 1962 to 1964, he was director of research of the Social Credit Association of Canada, and personal secretary and speechwriter to Social Credit Party of Canada leader Robert N. Thompson, MP.
Hattersley served as national president of the party in the mid-1970s and ran for the party's leadership following the death of Réal Caouette in 1976, placing third.
He ran again in 1978 when he was defeated by Lorne Reznowski at the party's national leadership convention by a margin of 356 votes to 115.
Hattersley had campaigned on a platform of broadening the party's base and appealing to a wider spectrum of voters but was unable to overcome Reznowski's more doctrinaire approach advocating social credit monetary theory.
After the party's remaining five Members of Parliament were defeated in the 1980 general election, he became leader of the party from 1981 to 1983.
He was also interim leader of the Social Credit Party of Alberta from 1985 to 1988, in the wake of the party's loss of its only remaining seats in the Alberta legislature and has been president emeritus since then.
As leader he led an attempt to merge several Alberta parties into the Alberta Political Alliance, which proved to be a short-lived coalition of Social Credit, the Western Canada Concept and the Heritage Party, in 1986 but neither the Alliance nor Social Credit were prepared to run candidates in the 1986 Alberta election.
In August 1988, the body of Hattersley's 29-year-old daughter, Cathy Greeve, was found in the bathroom at an Edmonton Transit station.
Since his daughter's murder, Hattersley has been involved in an Edmonton victim's support group and has spoken in prisons on alternatives to violence.
Over the course of his life he served as a Lay Reader and choir director at a number of Anglican churches in Edmonton and Ottawa, and in 1974, was ordained as a `priest in secular employment'.
Nicholas James Christopher Lowther, 2nd Viscount Ullswater (born 9 January 1942), succeeded his great-grandfather in the Viscountcy of Ullswater in 1949, sitting in the House of Lords as a Conservative.
Lord Ullswater was made a Lord-in-waiting (whip) in January 1989 by Margaret Thatcher before becoming Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department of Employment in July 1990.
He was retained by John Major in that role until 1993, when he became Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms (Government Chief Whip in the House of Lords).
He remained in this role for a year when he became Minister of State for the Environment in 1994 (as well as a Privy Counsellor) in 1994, but he left the Government in a 1995 reshuffle.
In 1998, he became the Private Secretary to Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon and continued in this office until her death in 2002.
He was appointed Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order in the special Honours List issued by the Queen after Princess Margaret's demise.
As a member of a Royal Household he could not take part in partisan politics and did not seek to remain in the House of Lords when the House of Lords Act 1999 was passed.
But after the death of the Viscount of Oxfuird in January 2003, he won the all-house by-election, enabling him to return to the House of Lords.
On 22 May 2006, Lord Ullswater was nominated for the newly created post of Lord Speaker, and in the election held on 28 June 2006 emerged in third place out of nine candidates.
The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, commonly known as the Hewlett Foundation, is a private foundation, established by Hewlett-Packard cofounder William Redington Hewlett and his wife Flora Lamson Hewlett in 1966.
In 2007, the Hewlett Foundation made a $113 million donation to the University of California at Berkeley to create 100 new endowed professorships and provide financial help for graduate students.
Hewlett's Environment Program makes grants to support conservation in the North American West, reduce global warming and conventional pollution resulting from the use of fossil fuels, and promote environmental protection efforts in California.
The Hewlett Foundation make grants in developing countries and in the United States to provide and advocate for family planning and reproductive health services.
The following table lists the top sectors to which the Hewlett Foundation has committed funding within its Global Development and Population Program.
Data are taken from the International Aid Transparency Initiative activities publication, and is expected to cover 21% of the foundation's overall grantmaking; this does not include international grantmaking in Environment, Education, and other program areas, although those total a significant proportion of grants.
Wangchuck was educated in a British manner in Kalimpong and went on study tours and stay to many foreign countries such as Scotland and Switzerland from where he drew inspiration to develop Bhutan with suitable adaptations.
Wangchuck brought modern techniques and methods to preserve and promote the culture of Bhutan, yet at the same time, he introduced Western science and technology.
As soon as he became the King, labourers who worked on the royal lands were made into tenants and sharecroppers instead of indentured labourers.
Later, similar indentured labourers were set free in other areas of the country, especially in some parts of Eastern Bhutan, where they were concentrated.
In 1953, Wangchuck, realising that hitherto the decision of the King and that of the high officials were binding on the country, wanted them to be shared.
For the first time elders from different gewogs were invited to voice their concerns, ideas and solutions for the future of this country.
At the same time, it was a forum for Wangchuck to share his larger vision for Bhutan in the years to come.
After the National Assembly was established in 1953, the king drafted and devised a series of progressive laws for the Kingdom.
The King brought out a holistic set of laws covering fundamental aspects of Bhutanese life such as land, livestock, marriage, inheritance, property and so forth.
The laws are very organic, coherently interrelated within themselves and to the evolving reality and manifested his vision of a law-based society.
Wangchuck decided to open the judiciary, first with the appointment of Thrimpons (judges) in districts, and then finally to the High Court, which was set up in 1968.
The king paid considerable policy attention on preserving Bhutanese culture so that Bhutan could always perpetuate itself as a culturally distinct nation, in particular with a flourishing Buddhist culture.
He established Simtokha Rigzhung Lobdra (now known as the Institute of Language and Cultural Studies) in 1967, where a new breed of traditional scholars could be nurtured.
To propagate culture and traditions in schools, and to study scientific disciplines as well as humanities, the Third King established modern education on a wide spread basis.
He established what were then the centres of education excellence with two public schools: Yangchenphug, in western Bhutan in 1969, and the other, Kanglung, in eastern Bhutan in 1968.
Although road construction started in 1959, a large scale undertaking became systematic two years later in 1961, with the commencement of the 1st Five Year Plan (FYP) that envisaged construction of 177 km of road, 108 schools, three hospitals, and 45 clinics.
His very last visit to central Bhutan was partly to open the Zhunglam, the highway between Wangdue Phodrang and Trongsa, in 1971.
One key event his era was enabling Bhutan to join the United Nations in 1971, when it became its 125th member.
Frances Jane van Alstyne (née Crosby; March 24, 1820 – February 12, 1915), more commonly known as Fanny Crosby, was an American mission worker, poet, lyricist, and composer.
She was one of the most prolific hymnists in history, writing more than 8,000 hymns and gospel songs, with more than 100 million copies printed, despite being blind from shortly after birth.
Some publishers were hesitant to have so many hymns by one person in their hymnals, so Crosby used nearly 200 different pseudonyms during her career.
Crosby also wrote more than 1,000 secular poems and had four books of poetry published, as well as two best-selling autobiographies.
She was the only child of John Crosby and his second wife Mercy Crosby, both of whom were relatives of Revolutionary War spy Enoch Crosby.
She traced her ancestry from Anna Brigham and Simon Crosby who arrived in Boston in 1635 (and were among the founders of Harvard College); their descendants married into Mayflower families, making Crosby a descendant of Elder William Brewster, Edward Winslow, and Thomas Prence, and a member of the exclusive Daughters of the Mayflower.
She was also a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Bridgeport, Connecticut, writing the verses of the state song of the Connecticut branch.
Through Simon Crosby, Fanny was also a relative of Presbyterian minister Howard Crosby and his neoabolitionist son Ernest Howard Crosby, as well as singers Bing and Bob Crosby.
According to Crosby, this procedure damaged her optic nerves and blinded her, but modern physicians think that her blindness was more likely congenital and, given her age, may simply not have been noticed by her parents.
John Crosby died in November 1820 when Fanny was only six months old, so she was raised by her mother and maternal grandmother Eunice Paddock Crosby (born about 1778; died about 1831).
These women grounded her in Christian principles, helping her memorize long passages from the Bible, and she became an active member of the John Street Methodist Episcopal Church in Manhattan.
In April 1825, she was examined by Valentine Mott, who concluded that her condition was inoperable and that her blindness was permanent.
Crosby memorized five chapters of the Bible each week from age 10, with the encouragement of her grandmother and later Mrs. Hawley; by age 15, she had memorized the four gospels, the Pentateuch, the Book of Proverbs, the Song of Solomon, and many of the Psalms.
From 1832, a music teacher came to Ridgefield twice a week to give singing lessons to her and some of the other children.
Around the same time, she attended her first Methodist church services at the Methodist Episcopal Church, and she was delighted by their hymns.
She remained there for eight years as a student, and another two years as a graduate pupil, during which time she learned to play the piano, organ, harp, and guitar, and became a good soprano singer.
After graduation from the NYIB in 1843, Crosby joined a group of lobbyists in Washington, D.C. arguing for support of education for the blind.
She recited an original composition calling for an institution for educating the blind in every state which was praised by John Quincy Adams, among others.
Two days later, she was among a group of Blind Institution students who gave a presentation to notable people at Trenton, New Jersey, where she recited an original poem calling for the aid and education of the blind.
She testified before a special congressional subcommittee, and she performed in the music room at the White House for President Polk and his wife.
She subsequently joined the school's faculty, teaching grammar, rhetoric, and history; she remained there until three days before her wedding on March 5, 1858.
The two spent many hours together at the end of each day, and he often transcribed the poems that she dictated to him.
She wrote a poem that was read at the dedication of Cleveland's birthplace in Caldwell, New Jersey in March 1913, being unable to attend due to her health.
Crosby was a longtime member of the Sixth Avenue Bible Baptist Church in Brooklyn, New York, which has been in existence continuously since 1867.
There was a cholera epidemic in New York City from May to November 1849, and she remained at the NYIB to nurse the sick rather than leaving the city.
Crosby attended churches of various denominations until spring 1887, including the Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims in Brooklyn Heights led by Congregationalist abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher who was an innovator with church music.
She attended the Trinity Episcopal church, and liked to worship at the North West Dutch Reformed church and the Central Presbyterian Church (later known as the Brooklyn Tabernacle).
In later life, she said that one of her favorite preachers was Theodore Ledyard Cuyler, minister of the North East Dutch Reformed Church.
Tradition insists that she was a member in good standing of the John Street Methodist Episcopal Church in Manhattan, but there are no contemporaneous records to confirm this.
Crosby was not identified publicly with the American holiness movement of the second half of the 19th century and left no record of an experience of entire sanctification.
She was, however, a fellow traveler of the Wesleyan holiness movement, including prominent members of the American Holiness movement in her circle of friends and attending Wesleyan/Holiness camp meetings.
She vacationed each summer at Ocean Grove between 1877 and 1897 (and possibly longer), where she would speak in the Great Auditorium and hold receptions in her cottage to meet her admirers.
She had experienced some temporary opposition to her poetry by the faculty of the Blind Institution, but her inclination to write was encouraged by this experience.
The minstrel shows had a negative reputation among some Christians and classical musicians, so their participation in these compositions was deliberately obscured.
For many years, Crosby was usually paid only $1 or $2 per poem, with all rights to the song being retained by the composer or publisher of the music.
In the summer of 1851, George Root and Crosby both taught at the North Reading Musical Institute in North Reading, Massachusetts.
Despite this initial setback, Crosby continued to teach at North Reading during her vacations in 1852 and 1853, where she wrote the lyrics for many of her collaborations with Root.
It was popularized in the 1850s by the Christy Minstrels; it sold more than 125,000 copies of sheet music and earned nearly $3,000 in royalties for Root —and almost nothing for Crosby.
His interest is at once aroused; and on the following day he is asked to act as judge in a contest where each flower urges her claims to be queen of all the others.
At length the hermit chooses the rose for her loveliness; and in turn she exhorts him to return to the world and to his duty.
It was performed first on March 11, 1853 by the young ladies of Jacob Abbott's Springer Institute, and almost immediately repeated by Root's students at the Rutgers Female Institute; it was praised by R. Storrs Willis.
This cantata comprised 35 songs, with music composed with William Batchelder Bradbury and words by Crosby and Union Theological Seminary student Chauncey Marvin Cady.
Some of its principal choruses were first performed on July 15, 1853 by the students at Root's New York Normal Institute.
In addition to poems of welcome to visiting dignitaries, Crosby wrote songs of a political nature, such as about the major battles of the Mexican–American War and the American Civil War.
There was a strength in his character and an earnestness in his speeches that appealed to me more than I can tell.
Her text encourages volunteers to join the Union forces and incorporates references to the history of the United States, including the Pilgrim Fathers and the Battle of Bunker Hill.
He also was blind and enrolled at the NYIB, where he was a casual acquaintance of Crosby and sometimes a student in her classes.
He was a teacher at NYIB for two years from 1855; during this time, the couple were engaged to be married, necessitating her resignation from NYIB three days prior to their wedding at Maspeth, New York on March 5, 1858.
After their wedding, the van Alstynes lived in a small home in the rural village of Maspeth, New York with a population of about 200 people—present-day Maspeth, Queens, New York, and no longer rural.
At her husband's insistence, Crosby continued to use her maiden name as her literary name, but she chose to use her married name on all legal documents.
In addition to Crosby's income as a poet and lyricist, Van played the organ at two churches in New York City, and gave private music lessons.
Van and Fanny organized concerts with half the proceeds given to aid the poor, in which she gave recitations of her poems and sang, and he played various instruments.
The van Alstynes collaborated on the production of a hymnal featuring only hymns written by them, but it was rejected by Biglow and Main—ostensibly because the directors believed that the public would not buy a hymnal featuring only two composers, but probably due to the complexity of the melodies.
For example, Alexander played a piano solo at the third annual reunion of the Underhill Society of America on June 15, 1895 in Yonkers, New York, while Crosby read an ode to Captain John Underhill, the progenitor of the American branch of the Underhill family.
In 1896, Crosby moved from Manhattan to an apartment in a poor section of Brooklyn, living with friends at South Third Street, Brooklyn, near the home of Ira D. Sankey and his wife Fannie, and near the mansion owned by Phoebe Knapp.
Crosby set a goal of winning a million people to Christ through her hymns, and whenever she wrote a hymn she prayed it would bring women and men to Christ, and kept careful records of those reported to have been saved through her hymns.
Their informal ballad style broke away from the staid, formal approach of earlier periods, touching deep emotions in singers and listeners alike.
Howard Doane was an industrialist who became Crosby’s principal collaborator in writing gospel music, composing melodies for an estimated 1,500 Crosby’s lyrics.
In early 1868 Crosby met wealthy Methodist Phoebe Palmer Knapp, who was married to Joseph Fairchild Knapp, co-founder of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.
The Knapps published hymnals initially for use in the Sunday School of Saint John’s Methodist Episcopal Church in Brooklyn, which was superintended by Joseph F. Knapp for 22 years, while Phoebe Knapp took responsibility for 200 children in the infants’ department.
The evangelist team of Sankey and Dwight L. Moody brought many of Crosby's hymns to the attention of Christians throughout the United States and Britain.
Crosby was close friends with Sankey and his wife, Frances, and often stayed with them at their home in Northfield, Massachusetts from 1886 for the annual summer Christian Workers’ Conferences, and later in their Brooklyn.
After Sankey’s eyesight was destroyed by glaucoma in March 1903, their friendship deepened and they often continued to compose hymns together at Sankey’s harmonium in his home.
Her poems and hymns were composed entirely in her mind and she worked on as many as twelve hymns at once before dictating them to an amanuensis.
Dr. Julian, the editor of the Dictionary of Hymnology, says that 'they are, with few exceptions, very weak and poor,' and others insist that they are 'crudely sentimental'.
Crosby will probably always be best known for her hymns, yet she wanted to be seen primarily as a rescue mission worker.
At the end of her life, Fanny’s concept of her vocation was not that of a celebrated gospel songwriter, but that of a city mission worker.
She was aware of the great needs of immigrants and the urban poor, and was passionate to help those around her through urban rescue missions and other compassionate ministry organizations.
Throughout New York City, Crosby's sympathies for the poor were well-known, but consisted primarily of indirect involvement by giving contributions from the sale of her poems, and by writing and sending poems for special occasions for these missions to the dispossessed, as well as sporadic visits to those missions.
She continued to live in a dismal flat at 9 Frankfort Street, near one of the worst slums in Manhattan, until about 1884.
Additionally, she was a passionate supporter of Frances Willard and the Women's Christian Temperance Union and its endeavors to urge either abstinence or moderation in the use of alcohol.
She would also recite a poem which she'd written for the occasion, many of which were set to music by Victor Benke, the Mission's volunteer organist from 1893–97.
Some of the city missions with which Crosby worked were operated by proponents of Wesleyan/Holiness doctrine, including the Door of Hope rescue home founded by socialite Emma Whittemore on October 25, 1890 in a house belonging to A.B.
Crosby's hymn writing declined in later years, but she was active in speaking engagements and missionary work among America's urban poor almost until she died.
Some of her wealthy friends contributed often to her financial needs, such as Doane, Sankey, and Phoebe Knapp, although she still tended to give generously to those whom she saw as less fortunate than herself.
Her longtime publisher The Biglow and Main Company paid her a small stipend of $8 each week in recognition of her contributions to their business over the years, even after she submitted fewer lyrics to them.
However, Knapp and others believed that Biglow and Main had made enormous profits because of Crosby without compensating her adequately for her contributions, and that she should be living more comfortably in her advanced years.
She had been ill with a serious heart condition for a few months by May 1900, and she still showed some effects from a fall, so her half-sisters traveled to Brooklyn to convince her to move from her room in the home of poet Will Carleton in Brooklyn to Bridgeport, Connecticut.
She transferred her church membership from Cornell Memorial Methodist Church in Manhattan to the First Methodist Church of Bridgeport in 1904, after moving to Bridgeport.
On May 2, 1911, Crosby spoke to 5,000 people at the opening meeting of the Evangelistic Committee’s seventh annual campaign held in Carnegie Hall, after the crowd sang her songs for thirty minutes.
On Crosby's 94th birthday in March 1914, Alice Rector and the King's Daughters of the First Methodist Church of Bridgeport, Connecticut organized a Violet Day to honor her, which was publicized nationally by Hugh Main.
American poet, author, and lecturer Will Carleton was a wealthy friend with whom Crosby had lived in her last years in Brooklyn.
There was nothing negative written explicitly about Biglow and Main, but there was also little praise for the firm and its members.
The threatened lawsuit was to obtain information regarding sales of the book, for which she had been promised a royalty of 10 cents per copy, and to seek an injunction preventing further publication.
The proposed injunction was on the grounds that she had been misrepresented by Carleton; she believed that he had described her as living alone in poor health and extreme poverty, when in fact she was receiving $25 a week from Biglow and Main and was living with relatives who cared for her.
Crosby indicated she had no desire to be a homeowner, and that if she ever lived in poverty, it was by her own choice.
In 1904, Phoebe Knapp contacted Methodist Episcopal Church Bishop Charles Cardwell McCabe and enlisted his assistance in publicizing Crosby’s poverty, raising funds to ameliorate that situation.
The matter was still not settled in July 1904; however, it came to an end before Fanny Crosby Day in March 1905 after Carleton's wife Adora died suddenly.
There are not many people living in this year of grace who had the privilege of meeting such statesmen as Henry Clay, General Scott, and President Polk, but the names of these heroes are recorded with indelible letters among the annals of our national history, and their imperishable deeds are chronicled in characters that no person living should wish to efface.
They were men of sterling worth and firm integrity, of whom the rising generation may well learn wisdom and the true principles of national honor and democracy that all of them labored so faithfully to inculcate.
On Sunday, March 26, 1905, Fanny Crosby Day was celebrated in churches of many denominations around the world, with special worship services in honor of her 85th birthday two days earlier.
On that day, she attended the First Baptist Church in Bridgeport where Carrie Rider was a member; she spoke in the evening service and was given $85.
In March 1925, about 3,000 churches throughout the United States observed Fanny Crosby Day to commemorate the 105th anniversary of her birth.
In 1923, the King's Daughters of the First Methodist Church of Bridgeport, Connecticut honored Crosby's request to memorialize her by beginning to raise the additional funds needed to establish the Fanny Crosby Memorial Home for the Aged.
The non-denominational home was established in the former Hunter house at 1008 Fairfield Avenue, Bridgeport; it opened on November 1, 1925 after a national drive by the Federation of Churches to raise $100,000 to operate it.
The Enoch Crosby chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution dedicated a historic roadside marker on October 8, 1934, commemorating her birthplace on the western side of Route 22 in Doansburg, New York, just north of Brewster.
His presentation included stories of her productive and charitable life, some of her hymns, and a few of his own uplifting songs.
The liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church in the United States remembers Crosby with an annual feast day on February 11.
Retrospective I: 1974 to 1980 is a compilation album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1997 (see 1997 in music).
Quilling or paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs.
The paper is rolled, looped, curled, twisted and otherwise manipulated to create shapes which make up designs to decorate greetings cards, pictures, boxes, eggs, and to make models, jewelry, mobiles etc.
Quilling starts with rolling a strip of paper into a coil and then pinching the coil into shapes that can be glued together.
There are advanced techniques and different sized paper that are used to create 3D miniatures, abstract art, flowers and portraits among many things.
More recently quilling has been practiced as an art form in Renaissance France/Italy as well as in 18th century England During the Renaissance, French and Italian nuns and monks used quilling to decorate book covers and religious items.
It was one of the few things ladies could do that was thought not too taxing for their minds or gentle dispositions.
Many quilled art can be found on cabinets and stands, cribbage boards, ladies' purses, a wide range of both pictures and frames, work baskets, tea caddies, coats of arms and wine coasters.
Storage boxes, larger than most jewelry boxes with drawers and/or tops that opened, quilled lock boxes, and more popular is quilling jewelry in recent times became a trend for fashion lovers, as they can be very light and easy to carry on them.
Quilling can be found in art galleries in Europe and in the United States and is an art that is practiced around the world.
Quilling is relatively easy to learn compared to most other crafts, and with the resources available today, it can be learned by almost everyone.
Basic quilling techniques can be learned almost anywhere and there are several videos online that can teach you how to start quilling.
There are more exotic styles of quilling that aren't commonly taught, but can be learned through books that teach the specific style you are looking for.
Quilling is also a great craft for kids as it teaches them fine motor skills and is a great craft to train their hand-eye coordination.
Curling coaches make a great complement tool for slotted tools and are recommended for younger kids and people who like to quill 3D miniatures.
When using a graduated paper, a quilling ring begins with a dark shade but ends up being faded to a lighter side.
On the contrary, some graduated papers begin as white, or a lighter shade, and then slowly fades into a solid, darker color.
He has been a captain-regent three times, from October 1991 to April 1992, from April 2004 until October 2004, and from October 2016 to April 2017.
A fourth story written by John J Buckley, Jr. and penciled by Doug Rice, which has never been reprinted, appeared in #8 (winter 1984).
Human colonization and exploitation has resulted in the development of various human and mutant sub-species, as well as methods such as terraforming (altering marginally habitable worlds into environments where humans can thrive) and pantropy (genetically altering humans to thrive on marginally habitable worlds).
However, the chaotic nature of human expansion into space has resulted in two Great Checks: a powerful alien intelligence known as Lord Thezmothete, who prevents humans and other species from exploiting pre-spaceflight civilizations; and the emergence of the Law Machines, intelligent robots that enforce the law in all places.
The Law Machines always enforce the letter of the written law, to the extent that several planets were forced to change governments when corrupt or neglectful officials were arrested en masse.
Since someone arrested by the Law is never seen again, human colonies are wary about accepting the presence of a Law Machine in their society.
In their place have risen guilds like X-Tel, which specialize in helping disgruntled colonists move and resettle to places where The Law has a weaker presence.
The hacker was subsequently arrested, but since the Law Machines are programmed not to interfere in society except when enforcing official laws, they became powerless to act on New Hong Kong thanks to this new (and only) 'law'.
His normal fee is in the five- to six-figure range, plus expenses—and sometimes, given the amount of property damage he causes, those expenses can be pretty high.
His rotund appearance conceals high muscular density, giving him incredible (but not quite superhuman) strength, stamina and metabolic endurance (he can drink high amounts of alcohol with little effect).
His skills are impressive enough to be worthy of respect by no less than Lord Thezmothete, the single most advanced being in the galaxy.
Lou is a former agent of the Planetary Temperance League, but finds her current profession more to her liking, and has successfully tempted several of her fellow agents to work for her.
Her human-variant alteration gives her voluntary control over glands in her body that exude an intensely-powerful pheromone that can entice anyone (at least, anyone with a healthy sex drive).
Buck's other friend is Asteroid Al, a Thuxian (an eyeless alien species roughly resembling the creatures from the Alien franchise), who is known for being stingy about money and contracts.
These include the Prime Mover, an immortal and omnipotent alien lifeform who has a deal with humanity to prevent their extinction, Ambassador Whreee of the Klegdixal, a paranoid and conniving alien race and oft-time political rival of humanity, Parahexavoctal, chief of security of the entire Gallimaufry, and Buck's uncle and fellow Hoffmanite, Frakkus Godot.
Skrastiņš was drafted by the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League in 1998 as a defenceman and spent twelve years in the league playing for the Predators, the Colorado Avalanche, the Florida Panthers, and the Dallas Stars.
For the 2011-2012 season, Skrastiņš left the NHL and signed a contract to play in Russia for Lokomotiv Yaroslavl of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
However, he never got to play a game for Lokomotiv as he was killed in the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash that killed almost the entire team on September 7, 2011.
On February 8, 2007, he played in his 487th consecutive game to pass Tim Horton for the longest playing streak in NHL history for a defenceman.
Skrastiņš' streak ended at 495 games, when he missed a February 25, 2007 game against the Anaheim Ducks with a knee injury.
He had previously missed only one other game due to injury in his career — against St. Louis on February 18, 2000, with a minor shoulder injury.
In his fourth season with the Avalanche in 2007–08, he was traded to the Florida Panthers for Ruslan Salei (who also died in the Lokomotiv plane crash) on February 26, 2008.
On October 16, 2008, he played his 600th career NHL game against the Minnesota Wild and on November 1, 2008, he scored his 100th point in his NHL career in a 3–2 loss fittingly against his original club, the Nashville Predators.
He scored his only two goals of the 2009–10 season, including the game winner, on December 19 in a 4–3 Stars victory over the Detroit Red Wings.
On May 17, 2011, after eleven seasons in the NHL, Skrastiņš left to sign a contract with Russian team, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl.
On September 7, 2011, he was killed, when a Yakovlev Yak-42 passenger aircraft, carrying nearly his entire Lokomotiv team, crashed just outside Yaroslavl, Russia.
He is a former Speaker of Parliament of that country and, in that capacity, served as acting President twice in 2004.
After becoming the Speaker of Parliament in December 2003, he became acting president on March 24, 2004, when the five-year term of President John Bani expired.
He served in that position until April 12, when a new president, Alfred Maseng was elected by the parliament and the presidents of the regional councils.
Abiut lost his seat in Parliament shortly thereafter, in the parliamentary elections of July 7, 2004, and therefore lost his positions as speaker of parliament and acting President on July 28, 2004, at the first session of Parliament.
The common feature of this class is a pair of long, feathery, contractile tentacles, which can be retracted into specialised ciliated sheaths.
Ferris, Meyers and Hurst began writing demos and shortly thereafter, with the support of David Hawkes, a DJ on local Vancouver AM radio station, Coast 1040, Econoline Crush started to receive frequent airplay, and fan and music industry attention.
In 1993, with Hurst at the helm, after Ferris and Meyers left the band, Econoline Crush signed a record deal with EMI Music Canada, after playing only 26 shows.
They also toured Europe three times, with the Young Gods, Die Krupps, and Waltari, culminating in an appearance at the POP KOMM Festival in Köln, Germany with Filter.
In 1996, the band signed with the management group Bruce Allen Talent, and started recording at Sound City with producer Sylvia Massy, who had worked with Prince, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Tool.
The album was released in the US in 1998 on Restless Records, and they went again on tour with KISS, Stabbing Westward, God Lives Underwater, among others.
The band went to California to work on their next album with producers John Travis, Bob Rock and DJ Swamp, which included collaborations with Chris Vrenna (formerly from Nine Inch Nails) and Paul Raven (Killing Joke, Prong, Ministry).
The reception of their last album caused the band to disband, and each of the members dedicated time to other projects.
In 2007, Hurst announced on his MySpace page that he was working on a new Econoline Crush record, while the band started touring with Hinder.
Hurst and Markus (who had worked with Noise Therapy and Methods of Mayhem) co-wrote the songs for the new album, which was recorded at Radiostar Studios in California.
In August 2008, they went on another tour with 3 Doors Down, Staind, and Hinder, followed by a tour with Alice Cooper in September and October 2008.
The band embarked on a summer tour in 2010, joined by drummer Greg Williamson and bassist Steve Vincent from Alberta's Tupelo Honey.
On Sunday, September 17, 2017, Hurst performed during Calgary's fifth annual Rally for Recovery Day while also sharing his story of addiction and recovery.
This was the 3rd show of a weekend run that introduced drummer Dayvid Swart and guitarist (and the band's 2011 live mixing engineer) Graham Tuson.
Species of the family Beroidae are found in all the world's oceans and seas and are free-swimmers that form part of the plankton.
There are no tentacles but there are a row of branched papillae, forming a figure of eight around the aboral tip.
Like other comb jellies, the body wall of nudans consists of an outer epidermis and an inner gastrodermis, separated by a jelly-like mesoglea.
While swimming, and particularly while pursuing prey, they close their mouths like a zipper so that they maintain a streamlined profile.
An alternative method of feeding involves the lips spreading over the prey and the sword-shaped macrocilia lining the lips chopping off chunks.
Not all species seem to have these strips which seem specifically adapted to those with wide mouths whereas species with small oral openings are able to control the opening of the aperture by more conventional means.
The individual macrocilium is between 50 and 60 micrometres long and 6 to 10 micrometres thick, with the cilia bonded together in a hexagonal cross-sectional structure by permanent fibrils in three different planes.
By this arrangement they effectively grip parts of the prey in synchronized waves like a conveyor belt, transporting it to the stomach, and the throat muscles promote this process.
The three-toothed tip of the macrocilia is stiff enough for it to rip the outer wall of larger prey such as other ctenophores; at the same time, proteolytic enzymes penetrate into the resulting wounds, rapidly incapacitating the victim.
They supply nutrients to the most active parts of the animal, the mouth, pharynx, combs of cilia and the sensory organs at the hind end of the body.
At the aboral end of the animal (the opposite end from the mouth) is a statocyst, a balance organ that helps it to orient itself.
Nudans feed on free swimming animals with soft bodies, primarily on other ctenophores, many of them larger than they are themselves.
There are no known fossil nudans, so the phylogenetic evolution of the group by comparison with other modern ctenophores is not possible.
This division, after provisional results of morphological and molecular studies, however, probably does not reflect the actual relationships within the ctenophores.
The monophyly of Nuda is widely accepted, due to the complete lack of tentacles, and the presence of macrocilia as a common secondary feature, or synapomorphy.
Jade Errol Puget (born November 28, 1973) is an American musician and producer, best known as the guitarist for the rock band AFI (joined in 1998), the guitarist/writer for the straight edge hardcore band XTRMST, and the keyboardist/synthesizer operator for the electronic duo Blaqk Audio.
Puget's addition to the band introduced fans to a more melodically acute and dynamic sound that was vastly different from earlier material.
in October 1999, which featured various elements of horror punk and a sound disparate from much of the band's earlier material.
Puget has stated that he and Havok had no intent on releasing a full-length record, but the overwhelming positive reaction motivated them to move forward with the project.
His remix of Escape the Fate's song Issues, for which he used the name Wolves at the Gate, appears on their Issues Remixes EP.
Puget has a half-sister named Alisha, a half-brother named Gibson, and a younger brother named Smith, who is also AFI's tour manager.
With straight A's throughout his K-12 career, Puget dropped out of school at the age of 17 and continued his education at UC Berkeley, where he received a bachelor's degree in sociology in 1996.
In July 2011, Puget and his girlfriend of six years, Marissa Festa became engaged to be married, and were married on September 22, 2012 in Malibu, California.
In 1851 the colonial governments of British North America began to keep records of Indians and bands entitled to benefits under treaty.
In 1951, the current Indian Register was established by amendment of the Indian Act, and the many band lists were combined into one.
In 1985, the Indian Act was amended again with the goal of restoring First Nations status to people who had lost it through discriminatory provisions of the Act, and to their children.
The program has a long history of supporting the Apple Macintosh platform, and at times it has been bundled with new Mac purchases.
The application features a batch processor, slideshow mode, image preview browser, and access to metadata comments (such as XMP, Exif, and IPTC).
Gateway Inc., previously Gateway 2000, was an American computer hardware company based in South Dakota and later California, that developed, manufactured, supported, and marketed a wide range of personal computers, computer monitors, servers, and computer accessories.
To grow beyond its model of selling high-end PCs by phone, and to attract top management and engineers, Gateway relocated its base of operations to La Jolla, California, in May 1998.
In 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed fraud charges against three former Gateway executives: CEO Jeff Weitzen, former chief financial officer John Todd, and former controller Robert Manza.
Weitzen was cleared of securities fraud in 2006, however, Todd and Manza were found liable for inflating revenue in a jury trial which concluded in March 2007.
In 2002, Gateway expanded into the consumer electronics world with products that included plasma screen TVs, digital cameras, DLP projectors, wireless Internet routers, and MP3 players.
While the company enjoyed some success in gaining substantial market share from traditional leaders in the space, particularly with plasma TVs and digital cameras, the limited short-term profit potential of those product lines led then-CEO Wayne Inouye to pull the company out of that segment during 2004.
Gateway moved build-to-order desktop, laptop, and server manufacturing back to the United States, with the opening of its Gateway Configuration Center in Nashville, Tennessee, in September 2006.
By early 2004, in terms of volume, Gateway had moved into a leadership position in the plasma TV category in the United States.
However, pressure to achieve profits after the acquisition of eMachines led the company to phase Gateway-branded consumer electronics out of their product line.
It featured a fictional Chicago wire service reporter—Carl Kolchak, played by Darren McGavin—who investigated mysterious crimes with unlikely causes, particularly those that law enforcement authorities would not follow up.
The new series was a ratings bomb and was quietly cancelled after only six of the ten episodes produced were aired.
In it, a Las Vegas newspaper reporter named Carl Kolchak tracks down and defeats a serial killer who turns out to be a vampire named Janos Skorzeny.
The cast also included Carol Lynley, Simon Oakland, Ralph Meeker, Claude Akins, Charles McGraw, Kent Smith, Stanley Adams, Elisha Cook Jr., Larry Linville, Jordan Rhodes, and Barry Atwater as the vampire Janos Skorzeny.
Kolchak recruits exotic dancer and psychology student Louise Harper (Jo Ann Pflug) to assist him in tracking down the eponymous strangler.
A fictitious version of the Seattle Underground City was used as a setting for much of the movie's action, and provided the killer with his hiding place.
Several scenes were filmed with George Tobias playing a reporter who recalled a series of murders he had investigated during the 1930s.
After some negotiation, McGavin agreed to return as Kolchak and also served as the series' executive producer, though he was not credited as such.
While the show was set in Chicago and some generic location/background filming was done there in summer and early fall, the show was filmed primarily in Los Angeles and at Universal Studios.
Jimmy Hawkins appeared on the series as a Catholic priest on November 1, 1974, in what proved to be his last acting appearance.
The series aired on Friday nights at 10 p.m., a virtual graveyard for most TV series, particularly one aimed at a younger audience.
McGavin found himself rewriting scripts and doing much of the work of a producer, but without getting either the full credit or the full compensation of one.
He asked to be released from his contract with two episodes remaining to be filmed, which the network granted in light of the show's dwindling ratings.
CBS pulled the series during mid summer and saved it for the fall premiere where it was expected to bring in more viewers.
The series features Kolchak as a reporter for the Chicago branch of the Independent News Service (INS), a small wire service.
The series managed in its short run to tackle most of the major monster myths, including classics such as vampires, werewolves, mummies and zombies.
Four episodes focused on monsters and spirits based in native folklore (two involving Native American legends, one Hindu and one Creole).
The series also dealt with creatures from science fiction, including a killer android, an invisible extraterrestrial, a prehistoric man thawed back to life, and a lizard-creature protecting its eggs.
The series also featured some more esoteric antagonists, including a headless motorcycle rider that hinted at the headless horseman myth and an animated knight's suit of armor possessed by a spirit.
A story about Jack the Ripper was one of the few based on an actual historical figure, though the series provided a supernatural explanation.
Gil Mellé wrote the music for the TV series, beginning with the theme that begins with Kolchak whistling in the opening credits.
Composer Jerry Fielding took over scoring music for the remaining series, augmented by one score each from Greig McRitchie (best known for his collaborations with Fielding, and James Horner), and Luchi De Jesus.
Initially identifiable by the altered opening whistle, an off-key electronic note is seemingly randomly introduced towards the end, but when synchronized with picture it corresponds to a specific visual.
Mellé was known for his innovative use of electronic orchestration (which was used throughout the series), however the producers chose not to include this stylistic element in his main title for broadcast, instead opting for a more conventional all-orchestral sound.
The series was cancelled with only 20 episodes completed but the initial order of 26 meant there were scripts that were completed but unproduced for the series.
He uncovers gruesome murders associated with a backwoods family and Kolchak suspects that they have some sort of inbred monster living with them.
These murders occur in a series of three, in which the first victim is hanged, the second executed with an ax, and the third poisoned.
Working with an art expert, Kolchak attempts to unravel who or what is behind these bizarre murders and what they have to do with the painting, without alerting Vincenzo that he is working on the same story.
Though Rice retains the rights to written Kolchak works, and Universal Studios owns the rights to the TV series, ABC maintained dramatic rights to the character and ownership of the two TV movies.
On November 14, 2005, ABC and creator Frank Spotnitz announced that the new series was being cancelled due to low ratings.
In a nod to the original series, the pilot episode has a brief shot from the original TV series of Darren McGavin in the INS newsroom, as the new Kolchak (Townsend) is walking through it.
Inserted digitally, McGavin is dressed in the same frumpy clothes he wore as Kolchak in the original series and smiles knowingly while touching his hat.
In another shot, when fellow reporter Perri Reed (Gabrielle Union) is searching through Kolchak's room, the hat McGavin wore in the original series is seen hanging on a coat rack.
In the 1970s, the Kolchak character was often seen in his yellow 1966 Ford Mustang convertible while in the new series' Kolchak drives an orange Mustang from 2005.
Moonstone continues to publish both a bimonthly serial magazine and a series of prose novels and graphic novels featuring the characters.
In May 2012, Disney announced a film adaptation is in the works with Johnny Depp starring and producing with Edgar Wright directing.
It is part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system and was established in 1971 as result of a legislative mandate of New York.
It is located in midtown Manhattan in what was originally the Aeolian Building, which was built in 1912 for the Aeolian Company, a piano manufacturer.
The University Eye Center is one of the largest outpatient eye clinics in the country, with over 73,000 patient encounters in FY 2012-13.
The Optometric Center of New York, established in 1956, is a foundation affiliated with the college to support vision science research, patient care, scholarships, and fellowships at the College and its clinical facilities.
Research and graduate programs at the college are administered through the Graduate Center for Vision Research, which currently receives nearly $4 million in annual funding for research grants.
In more traditional streams of Judaism, only men may constitute a minyan; in more modern (non-Orthodox) streams women are also counted.
It was the firm belief of the sages that wherever ten Israelites are assembled, either for worship or for the study of the Law, the Divine Presence dwells among them.
In rabbinical literature, those who meet for study or prayer in smaller groups, even one who meditates or prays alone, are to be praised.
The codifiers, such as Maimonides, his annotators, and the author of the Shulkhan Arukh, have unitedly given strength to this sentiment, and have thus, for more than a thousand years, made the daily attendance at public worship, morning and evening, to be conducted with a quorum of ten.
Before a boy turns thirteen, he is considered a minor in Jewish law and is not obligated in the performance of religious precepts.
However, if a child is over six years of age and has adequate comprehension of the significance of the precepts, his status may change.
Based on the Talmudic passage in Berachot, Rabbeinu Tam states that a minor can act as the tenth person and according to the Baal Ha-Maor, up to four minors would be permitted.
The Talmud itself does not directly address the question of whether women may count as part of a minyan for devarim shebkdusha.
There are a number of cases, including reading of the megillah, where a limited number of authorities count women towards the minyan.
A possible reason why it is men who were obligated to form a congregation in order to convene the Divine Presence is that women were individually considered sufficiently holy and did not require the combination of a group and special prayers to achieve added holiness deficient in men.
Due to the righteousness of the women in the wilderness, they did not suffer the same deadly fate as their male counterparts, and despite the spies’ negative report about the holy land, wished to enter it.
In 1845, rabbis attending the Frankfort Synod of the emerging Reform Judaism declared that women count in a minyan, a formalization of a customary Reform practice dating back to 1811.
In 1973, the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of Conservative Judaism voted to count men and women equally as members of a minyan.
This responsum holds that, although Jewish women do not traditionally have the same obligations as men, Conservative women have, as a collective whole, voluntarily undertaken them.
Because of this collective undertaking, the Fine responsum holds that Conservative women are eligible to serve as agents and decision-makers for others.
The responsum also holds that traditionally-minded communities and individual women can opt out without being regarded by the Conservative movement as sinning.
The Shulchan Aruch states that though a person may be a notorious and habitual sinner and has even committed a capital offense unless a person has been placed under a religious ban due to his sinful behavior, he is counted among the ten.
The source provided for this sentiment is from the incident with Achan who, despite having been put to death for his transgression, was still referred to as a Jew.
However, the Pri Megadim explains that this is only true if he sins for self-satisfaction, but if a person sins to spite God or has openly severed their connection with the Jewish people by professing a hostile creed or by publicly desecrating the Shabbat, such a person is prohibited from constituting a minyan.
Nevertheless, many contemporary authorities have been driven to adopt a lenient view in the face of widespread public non-observance of the Shabbat, on the presumption that it does not indicate a deliberate denial of faith, but is rather a result of ignorance and succumbing to the pressure of social and economic conditions.
This includes someone who is in the middle of his prayers but is precluded from responding to the hazzan’s incantations and someone who is mute but can hear the prayers.
However, if they are within hearing distance of one another, it is permitted for the ten to be distributed in two adjoining rooms.
Later authorities limit the extent of this opinion and rule that even if there is an opening between the two rooms, the two groups are still considered separate entities.
Only in unusual circumstances is it permitted, as long as some of the men in each room can see each other.
Over the last decade or so, more and more lay-led worship communities have formed that attempt to combine commitment to traditional Jewish law with a push for increased participation and recognition of the role of women.
Some also use the Guide for the Halakhic Minyan, a compendium of halakhic sources supporting increased participation by women in services, as a basis for discussions of practices like the ten-and-ten minyan.
Even though it is considered as a singular corpus that represents Hippocratic medicine, they vary (sometimes significantly) in content, age, style, methods, and views practiced; therefore, authorship is largely unknown.
The corpus may be the remains of a library of Cos, or a collection compiled in the third century BC in Alexandria.
However, the corpus includes works beyond those of the Coan school of Ancient Greek medicine; works from the Cnidian school are included as well.
Some Hippocratic works are known only in translation from their original Greek to other languages; given that the quality and accuracy of a translation without a suriving original cannot be known, it is difficult to identify the author with certainty.
The majority of the works in the Hippocratic Corpus date from the Classical period, the last decades of the 5th century BC and the first half of the 4th century BC.
These works were written for different audiences, both specialists and laymen, and were sometimes written from opposing view points; significant contradictions can be found between works in the Corpus.
In several texts of the corpus, the ancient physicians develop theories of illness, sometimes grappling with the methodological difficulties that lie in the way of effective and consistent diagnosis and treatment.
Whatever their disagreements, the Hippocratic writers agree in rejecting divine and religious causes and remedies of disease in favor of natural mechanisms.
The Hippocratic Oath is both philosophical and practical; it not only deals with abstract principles but practical matters such as removing stones and aiding one's teacher financially.
Seemingly, the main and most problematic topic covered in urology was that of bladder disease in patients, especially when urinary tract stones (that is, stones within either the kidneys or the bladder) were present.
Urinary tract stones, in general, have been seen within records all throughout history, even as far back as the ancient days of Egypt.
Theorizing how these urinary tract stones formed, how to detect them and other bladder issues, and the controversy on how to treat them were all major investigating points to the authors of the Hippocratic Corpus.
Throughout the books of the Hippocratic Corpus, there are varying hypotheses as to reasons why and exactly how urinary tract stones actually formed.
It is noted that these hypotheses were all based on the use of uroscopy and observation of patients by doctors of the time.
The main mechanism of detecting bladder disease’s symptoms, including inflammation and urinary tract stone formations, is through the appearance of the urine itself and the changes that occur with the urine over time.
It was also suggested that the appearance of blood within urine could indicate vessels of the kidney to have burst, potentially due to necrosis of blood arteries or vessels.
Furthermore, doctors noted that if bubbles formed on top of urine, the kidneys were diseased and showed the potential of long-lasting disease.
When it comes to the treatment of urinary tract stones, many solutions were suggested, including drinking a lot of a water/wine mixture, taking strong medication, or trying different positions when trying to flush them out.
Extracting the urinary tract stones was another option; however, this method was not utilized very often due to its serious risks and possible complications of cutting into the bladder.
Other than leakage of urine into the body cavity, another common complication was that of the cells of the testes dying due to the spermatic cord inadvertently being cut during the procedure.
In fact, due to these and other complications and the lack of antiseptics and pain medicines, the Hippocratic Oath opted for the avoidance of surgery – unless absolutely necessary – especially when concerning surgeries that dealt with the urinary tract and more so when stone removal was the intent.
Although, the urinary tract stone removal was not a necessary surgery and it appeared to be avoided in most cases, some argue that the Hippocratic Oath only wards of these procedures if the doctor holding the knife is inexperienced in that area.
This idea puts forth the development of medical specialties – that is, doctors focusing on one particular area of medicine versus studying the wide array of material that is medicine.
The doctors whom have become experts in the urinary tract – whom we would call urologists today – are those that could perform the heightened risk procedure of stone removal.
With this reliance on specialized doctors of the urinary tract, some believe that urology itself was the first definable expertise of medical history.
The Hippocratic texts describe wine as a powerful substance, that when consumed in excess can cause physical disorders, today known as, intoxication.
Although the negative effects of wine on the human body are documented within the Hippocratic Corpus, the author/authors maintain an objective attitude towards wine.
During this time, those studying medicine were interested in the physical effects of wine, therefore no medical text condemned the use of wine in excess.
According to the Hippocratic text, the consumption of wine significantly affects two regions of the body: the head and the lower body cavity.
In the lower body cavity, excess wine ingestion can have a purging effect; it can be the source of stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting.
An overall effect of wine that all Greek doctors of the time have observed and agree on is its warming property.
Physicians tried to study the human body with pure objectivity to give the most accurate explanation for the effects of external substances that could be given for the time.
According to Hippocrates, a more concentrated wine leads to a heavy head and difficulty thinking, and a soft wine inflames the spleen and liver and produces wind in the intestine.
This observation led to the belief that the size of your body and your environment had an influence on your ability to handle wine.
However, in rare circumstances, there are records of some doctors recommending wine for children, only if heavily diluted with water, to warm the child or to ease hunger pains.
Greek physicians were very interested in observing and recording the effects of wine and intoxication, the excessive use of wine was well known to be harmful, however, it was also documented as a useful remedy.
Men were encouraged to consume dark, undiluted wine before copulation, not to the point of intoxication, however enough to provide power and guarantee strength to the fetus.
For this reason, men suffering from cardiac illness, lack of strength, or pale complexion were encouraged to consume dark, undiluted wine.
During fall and spring, wine should be moderately diluted, and during the summer, wine should be diluted as much as possible with water, because of the hot temperatures.
The practice of mixing wine and diluting wine is also seen in prescription form, however, the dosage and quantities are left to the doctor.
The prescription of wine as a treatment was prohibited with diseases that affected the head, brain, and those accompanied by a fever.
Wine could also be used as an external remedy by mixing it with other substances such as honey, milk, water, or oil to make salves or soaks.
Patients suffering from pneumonia like illnesses would soak in a wine mixture and breath in the vapors with the intent to expel the pus from their lungs.
This is known because mumps causes swollen salivary glands that are located under the ears and the descriptions in the Hippocratic Corpus were so vivid that even over a thousand years later, the symptoms could be identified.
The Greek physicians thought of Jaundice to be a disease itself rather than what medical professionals know now to be a symptom of various other diseases.
The Greeks also believed that there were five different kinds of jaundice that can occur and report the differences between them.
The second form develops only during the summer because it was believed the heat of the sun causes bile, a dark green fluid produced by the liver, to rest underneath the skin.
In two other forms of this disease, occurring during the winter, set in due to drunkenness, chills, and the excess production of phlegm.
The physician will draw blood from the elbows, and advise to take hot baths, drink cucumber juice, and induce vomiting to clear the bowels.
The several forms of jaundice that the Greek physicians proclaimed might be because jaundice occurs due to varying sicknesses like hepatitis, gallstones and tumors.
Physicians at the time thought that the cause of an empyema was by orally ingesting some form of foreign body where it will enter the lungs.
The physicians also thought that empyemas could occur after parapneumonic infections or pleurisy because the chest has not recovered from those illnesses.
One of these treatments included the patient behind held down in a chair while the physician cut between the ribs with a scalpel and inserted a drainage tube which would remove all of the pus.
The research and descriptions that the Greek physicians performed were so accurate that they were the foundation of what we know about empyemas today.
The whole corpus is written in Ionic Greek, though the island of Cos was in a region that spoke Doric Greek.
A significant edition was that of Émile Littré who spent twenty-two years (1839–1861) working diligently on a complete Greek edition and French translation of the Hippocratic Corpus.
Beginning in 1967, an important modern edition by and others began to appear (with Greek text, French translation, and commentary) in the Collection Budé.
Other works of the corpus remained untranslated into English until the resumed publication of the Loeb Classical Library edition beginning in 1988.
In 2001, after a decade of financial decline, the PCF sold 20 per cent of the paper to a group of private investors led by the TV channel TF1 (part of the Bouygues group) and including Hachette (Lagardère Group).
An autopatch, sometimes called a phone patch, is a feature of an amateur radio (or other type of two-way radio) repeater or base station to access an outgoing telephone connection.
Users with a transceiver capable of producing touch tones (DTMF signals) can make a telephone call, typically limited by settings in the autopatch module to be only to flat-rate numbers, such as local calls or toll-free numbers.
This feature is primarily used by radio amateurs to provide emergency telephone connectivity to places that have lost their telephone network access.
An amateur radio operator with a transceiver installed in their vehicle may provide telephone network access from dozens of miles away, depending on the frequencies of the involved repeater/base station, the power of the transceiver, band conditions, and the gain of the antennas on both ends.
In the United States, autopatch users are required to hang up if they encounter music on hold, as the Federal Communications Commission regulations prohibit music on amateur radio frequencies.
They have since reunited for a series of one-off shows, including New York's Black N Blue Bowl in 2008 and Belgium's Groezrock Festival in 2011.
Retrospective II: 1981 to 1987 is a compilation album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1997 (see 1997 in music).

The task group visited a number of African ports on their way to the Far East and Indian Ocean, including South Africa, a visit that caused some controversy back in the UK at the time.
Upon the task group's return from the Far East, they made their way around the Cape of Good Hope to South America where a large exercise with the Brazilian Navy took place, which included the aircraft carrier .
In 1989 she joined the Dartmouth Training Squadron, and in a busy year became the first Royal Navy warship to visit East Germany as well as hosting a dinner to mark the 50th anniversary of the Battle of the River Plate.
On 27 February 2010 a tsunami associated with the 2010 Chile earthquake washed her several nautical miles from her berth in the Talcahuano naval base, towards the coastal city of Dichato.
In March 2010, the Chilean Navy decided to sink the ship to ensure free navigation in the area where the ship had run aground.
Caesars Entertainment Corporation (formerly The Promus Companies and Harrah's Entertainment) is an American gaming hotel and casino corporation founded in Reno, Nevada and based in Paradise, Nevada that owns and operates over 50 properties and seven golf courses under several brands.
Caesars is a public company, majority-owned by a group of private equity firms led by Apollo Global Management, TPG Capital and Paulson & Co. and Carl Icahn.
Caesars's largest operating unit filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on January 15, 2015 which led to the foundation of Vici Properties as a result.
The company's background can be traced to October 29, 1937, when Bill Harrah opened a small bingo parlor in Reno, Nevada, a predecessor to Harrah's Reno.
In 1955, he expanded to Stateline, Nevada, on the south shore of Lake Tahoe, where he would eventually open Harrah's Lake Tahoe.
In 1972, it was listed on the American Stock Exchange and in 1973, Harrah's became the first casino company listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Bill Harrah died at the Mayo Clinic Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota, at the age of 66, during a cardiac surgery operation to repair an aortic aneurysm.
Liquidation of Harrah's collection of almost 7,000 antique automobiles reportedly returned the full purchase price of the company to Holiday Inn.
Holiday Inn at the time had interests in two casinos: the under-construction Holiday Inn Marina Casino in Atlantic City, and a 40 percent stake in the Holiday Casino, adjacent to the Holiday Inn hotel on the Las Vegas Strip.
To effect the sale of the Holiday Inn hotel business to Bass PLC, Promus was created as a corporate spin-off, holding Harrah's, Embassy Suites, Homewood Suites, and Hampton Inn; Bass then acquired Holiday Corp., which retained only the Holiday Inn assets.
The late 1980s and early 1990s saw a rapid increase in gambling markets with the growth of Indian gaming and legalization of riverboat casinos.
In 1993 and 1994, the company opened Harrah's Joliet, Harrah's Vicksburg, Harrah's Tunica, Harrah's Black Hawk, Harrah's Central City, Harrah's Shreveport, Harrah's North Kansas City, and Harrah's Ak-Chin.
In 1995, Promus decided to spin off its non-gaming hotel businesses, in part because they had been undervalued by investors due to perception of the company as a risky gaming stock.
Promus Hotel Corp. was established, holding Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn, and Homewood Suites, while the parent company, holding 16 casinos, was renamed as Harrah's Entertainment.
Harrah's continued its expansion over the next ten years, opening Harrah's Skagit Valley, SkyCity Auckland, Harrah's St. Louis-Riverport, Harrah's Cherokee, Harrah's Prairie Band, Harrah's New Orleans, and Harrah's Rincon, and acquiring the Southern Belle Casino, Showboat, Inc., the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino, Players International, Harveys Casino Resorts, Louisiana Downs, Horseshoe Gaming, and the World Series of Poker.
On September 4, 1997, Harrah's Entertainment launched its Total Gold loyalty program (renamed as Total Rewards on April 4, 2000 and again as Caesars Rewards on February 1, 2019), developed at a cost of $20 million.
It was the first gaming company to offer a systemwide comps program, allowing points earned at one casino to be redeemed for goods and services at any of the company's other casinos.
Harvard Business School professor Gary Loveman joined Harrah's as chief operating officer in 1998, and would go on to serve as chief executive officer from 2003 to 2015.
The two companies sold several properties ahead of the merger to assuage antitrust concerns, including Harrah's East Chicago and Harrah's Mardi Gras.
The deal furthered Harrah's goal of gaining a larger presence on the Las Vegas Strip, where Caesars owned four casinos, and improved its ability to market to high rollers.
Harrah's began to push for a larger international presence in 2005, announcing joint venture agreements to build casinos in Spain, Slovenia, and the Bahamas, and applying for a license to build a major resort in Singapore, though none of these projects would come to fruition.
From 2005 to 2010, the company consolidated control of a long stretch of the east side of the Las Vegas Strip, acquiring the Bourbon Street, Imperial Palace, Barbary Coast, and Planet Hollywood casinos, along with large tracts of land behind the Strip properties.
In 2005 and 2006, Harrah's Entertainment closed its Lake Charles casino due to damage from Hurricane Rita, sold the Flamingo Laughlin and sold Grand Casino Gulfport.
Loveman at some point sought advice from private equity tycoon David Bonderman about the possibility of spinning off ownership of Harrah's Entertainment real estate as a separate real estate investment trust (REIT), hoping to attain the higher price-to-earnings ratios at which hotel companies traded, compared to gaming companies.
By the end of the year, an agreement was announced for the two companies to buy Harrah's Entertainment for $17.1 billion in cash plus $10.7 billion in assumed debt.
It was widely announced in previous years that the company planned to implode properties and build new ones from scratch, but after the market downturn the company conceded that it had little experience in building major resorts.
Instead it developed Project LINQ in 2009, which called for retaining and improving all existing buildings while adding a collection of about 20 restaurants and bars to be built along a winding corridor between the company's Imperial Palace, O'Sheas and Flamingo casinos, on the east side of the Las Vegas Strip.
It was an attempt to create the kind of entertainment district that had developed organically in cities such as Los Angeles, Memphis and New Orleans yet was lacking on the Strip, with its enclosed and casino-centric zones.
Caesars Entertainment, Inc. had previously envisioned using the location to build a baseball park, but the company's buyout by Harrah's cancelled the plans.
Through the following year, Harrah's got uncertain on continuing with the project, not knowing if AEG would split the costs and whether building a major league-ready stadium without a guaranteed franchise to play on it would be feasible given the enduring financial crisis.
The original plans were to break ground in June 2008 and finish the arena in 2010, but by 2009, it was revealed the stalled project had not even done a traffic study despite being located near a busy intersection.
However, given the financing would require a special taxation district, opposition from the Clark County Commission regarding using public money in the project stalled it even further.
AEG eventually backed out completely by 2012, once MGM Resorts International came up with their own project using a terrain behind the New York-New York and Monte Carlo resorts.
The vacant lots behind the casinos had been slated for a sports arena large enough to hold a professional basketball or hockey team.
It was announced in August 2010 that Harrah's Entertainment would run casinos in Cincinnati and Cleveland in Ohio when they opened in 2012.
On November 23, 2010, plans for an IPO were canceled, but a planned name change from Harrah's Entertainment to Caesars Entertainment Corporation did go forward as planned and was made official on the same day.
Under the terms of the transaction, shareholders of Caesars Acquisition Company will receive 0.664 share of Caesars Entertainment common stock for each share of Caesars Acquisition Company held.
The casino operating unit, Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. and approximately 170 of its subsidiaries filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on January 15, 2015.
On November 2, 2015, the Rock Gaming announced it would begin assuming management of Horseshoe Casino Cleveland, Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati and ThistleDown Racino from Caesars Entertainment and complete the transition by June 2016.
Caesars Entertainment Corporation (via its Harrah's casino brand) acquired Playtika in May 2011 for an amount between $80 and $90 million.
Playtika, a social game developer company, was founded in 2010 by Robert Antokol and Uri Shahak and produced Facebook social gaming platforms (slotomania.com & caesarsgames.com).
As of June 2016, a Chinese consortium, which includes Alibaba chief Jack Ma's Yunfeng Capital, agreed to purchase it in a buyout for $4.4 billion.
On March 17, 2019, it was announced that Caesars Entertainment Corporation and Eldorado Resorts are exploring a merger of the two companies.
On June 24, 2019 The Wall Street Journal reported that Caesars and Eldorado will ordain a merger with a combination of stocks and cash totaling around $ 8.58 billion.
On November 15, 2019, shareholders of both Caesars and Eldorado voted in favor of the merger, which is scheduled to be completed in the first half of 2020 pending regulatory approval and other closing conditions.
On April 16, 2019, Caesars announced that Affinity Gaming CEO Anthony Rodio would be transitioning into the role of Caesars CEO within 30 days, replacing Mark Frissora, who announced his intention to step down in November 2018.
Rodio came recommended by investor Carl Icahn, who owns almost 100 million shares, (which equals a 28.5% stake in Caesars as of June 17, 2019) has reportedly been pushing Caesars to sell the company.
In physics, action at a distance is the concept that an object can be moved, changed, or otherwise affected without being physically touched (as in mechanical contact) by another object.
This term was used most often in the context of early theories of gravity and electromagnetism to describe how an object responds to the influence of distant objects.
The exploration and resolution of this problematic phenomenon led to significant developments in physics, from the concept of a field, to descriptions of quantum entanglement and the mediator particles of the Standard Model.
Philosopher William of Ockham discussed action at a distance to explain magnetism and the ability of the Sun to heat the Earth's atmosphere without affecting the intervening space.
Efforts to account for action at a distance in the theory of electromagnetism led to the development of the concept of a field which mediated interactions between currents and charges across empty space.
According to field theory we account for the Coulomb (electrostatic) interaction between charged particles through the fact that charges produce around themselves an electric field, which can be felt by other charges as a force.
This aspiration was developed by Maxwell with the theory of an electromagnetic field described by Maxwell's equations, which used the field to elegantly account for all electromagnetic interactions, as well as light (which, until then, had been seen as a completely unrelated phenomenon).
In Maxwell's theory, the field is its own physical entity, carrying momenta and energy across space, and action-at-a-distance is only the apparent effect of local interactions of charges with their surrounding field.
This description of electrodynamics, in contrast with Maxwell's theory, explains apparent action at a distance not by postulating a mediating entity (the field) but by appealing to the natural geometry of special relativity.
Direct interaction electrodynamics is explicitly symmetrical in time, and avoids the infinite energy predicted in the field immediately surrounding point particles.
Feynman and Wheeler have shown that it can account for radiation and radiative damping (which had been considered strong evidence for the independent existence of the field).
However, various proofs, beginning with that of Dirac, have shown that direct interaction theories (under reasonable assumptions) do not admit Lagrangian or Hamiltonian formulations (these are the so-called No Interaction Theorems).
Also significant is the measurement and theoretical description of the Lamb shift which strongly suggests that charged particles interact with their own field.
Fields, because of these and other difficulties, have been elevated to the fundamental operators in Quantum Field Theory and modern physics has thus largely abandoned direct interaction theory.
Newton, according to Kochiras, claims that God is a virtual omnipresent, the force/agent must subsist in substance, and God is omnipresent substantially, resulting in a hidden premise, the principle of local action.
If one of the interacting objects were to suddenly be displaced from its position, the other object would feel its influence instantaneously, meaning information had been transmitted faster than the speed of light.
One of the conditions that a relativistic theory of gravitation must meet is that gravity is mediated with a speed that does not exceed , the speed of light in a vacuum.
From the previous success of electrodynamics, it was foreseeable that the relativistic theory of gravitation would have to use the concept of a field, or something similar.
This has been achieved by Einstein's theory of general relativity, in which gravitational interaction is mediated by deformation of space-time geometry.
Thus, in the presence of matter, space-time becomes non-Euclidean, resolving the apparent conflict between Newton's proof of the conservation of angular momentum and Einstein's theory of special relativity.
Mach's question regarding the bulging of rotating bodies is resolved because local space-time geometry is informing a rotating body about the rest of the universe.
In Einstein's theory of motion, matter acts upon space-time geometry, deforming it; and space-time geometry acts upon matter, by affecting the behavior of geodesics.
Their existence (like many other aspects of relativity) has been experimentally confirmed by astronomers—most dramatically in the direct detection of gravitational waves originating from a black hole merger when they passed through LIGO in 2015.
Whether quantum entanglement counts as action-at-a-distance hinges on the nature of the wave function and decoherence, issues over which there is still considerable debate among scientists and philosophers.
One important line of debate originated with Einstein, who challenged the idea that quantum mechanics offers a complete description of reality, along with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen.
Even when the particles are so far apart that any classical interaction would be impossible (see principle of locality), a measurement of one particle nonetheless determines the corresponding result of a measurement of the other.
In the 1960s John Bell derived an inequality that indicated a testable difference between the predictions of quantum mechanics and local hidden variables theories.
To date, all experiments testing Bell-type inequalities in situations analogous to the EPR thought experiment have results consistent with the predictions of quantum mechanics, suggesting that local hidden variables theories can be ruled out.
Many advocates of the many-worlds interpretation argue that it can explain these correlations in a way that does not require a violation of locality, by allowing measurements to have non-unique outcomes.
What happens in entanglement is that a measurement on one entangled particle yields a random result, then a later measurement on the another particle in the same entangled (shared) quantum state must always yield a value correlated with the first measurement.
Since no force, work, or information is communicated (the first measurement is random), the speed of light limit does not apply (see Quantum entanglement and Bell test experiments).
In the standard Copenhagen interpretation, as discussed above, entanglement demonstrates a genuine nonlocal effect of quantum mechanics, but does not communicate information, either quantum or classical.
The community of Cornwall traces its history to European settlement in the 18th century and was a predominantly farming community until the construction of Route 1, the Trans-Canada Highway, during the early 1910s.
Several subdivisions were created near the intersection of the new highway with the Meadowbank Road, along with a small commercial strip.
On April 1, 1995, the incorporated communities of Cornwall, Eliot River, and North River amalgamated to form the Town of Cornwall.
Some residents had called for a new community name, as what occurred in the case of Stratford (also amalgamated at the same time).
The Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church is a historic church and congregation at 419 South 6th Street in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Its present church, completed in 1890, is the oldest church property in the United States to be continuously owned by African Americans.
The church was organized by African-American members of St. George's Methodist Church who walked out due to racial segregation in the worship services.
Mother Bethel was one of the first African-American churches in the United States, dedicated July 29, 1794, by Bishop Francis Asbury.
On October 12, 1794, Reverend Robert Blackwell announced that the congregation was received in full fellowship in the Methodist Episcopal Church.
In 1816 Rev Richard Allen brought together other black Methodist congregations from the region to organize the new African Methodist Episcopal Church denomination.
After the American Civil War, its missionaries went to the South to help freedmen and planted many new churches in the region.
The 1841 church was reported to have a tunnel connecting it with a nearby Quaker meetinghouse to facilitate the movements of fugitive slaves.
In economics, effective demand (ED) in a market is the demand for a product or service which occurs when purchasers are constrained in a different market.
If there is labour market disequilibrium such that individuals cannot supply all the labor they want to supply, then the amount that they are able to supply will influence their demand for goods; the demand for goods, contingent on the constraint on the amount of labor that can be supplied, is their effective demand for goods.
In contrast, if there were no labor market disequilibrium, individuals would simultaneously choose both their quantity of labor to supply and the quantity of goods to purchase, and the latter would be their notional demand for goods.
Conversely, if there are goods market shortages, individuals may choose to supply less labor (and enjoy more leisure) than they would in the absence of goods market disequilibrium.
The amount of labor they choose to supply, contingent on the constraint on the amount of goods they can buy, is the effective supply of labor.
If there is credit rationing, some individuals are constrained in the amount of funds they can borrow to finance goods purchases (including consumer durables and houses), so their effective demand for goods, as a function of this constraint, is less than their notional demand for goods (the amount they would buy if they could borrow all they want to).
They too can be credit constrained, resulting in their effective demand for goods such as physical capital differing from their notional demand.
In addition, in a time of labor shortage, they are constrained in how much labor they can employ; therefore the amount of goods they choose to supply at any potential goods price—their effective supply of goods—will be less than their notional supply.
And if firms are constrained by excess supply in the goods market, limiting how much goods they can sell, then their effective demand for labor will be less than their notional demand for labor.
The presence of excess demand in one market influences effective demand or supply in another market, which may influence the degree of disequilibrium in the latter market; in turn, the constraints imposed on participants in that market influence their effective demand or supply in the former market.
According to Say's Law, for every excess supply (glut) of goods in one market, there is a corresponding excess demand (shortage) in another.
According to Keynesian economics, weak demand results in unplanned accumulation of inventories, leading to diminished production and income, and increased unemployment.
In the 1960s Robert Clower and Axel Leijonhufvud did further work on effective demand, and in the 1970s Robert Barro and Herschel Grossman published a well-known model of spillover effects upon effective demand.
The peerage title Earl of Ormond and the related titles Duke of Ormonde and Marquess of Ormonde have a long and complex history.
For many subsequent years, the earls took significant roles in the government of Ireland, and kept a tradition of loyalty to the English crown and to English custom.
The fifth earl was created Earl of Wiltshire (1449) in the Peerage of England, but he was attainted in 1461 and his peerages were declared forfeit.
This facilitated the next creation by awarding the titles of Ormond and Wiltshire to Thomas Boleyn, who was the father of Anne Boleyn.
On the death of Boleyn, these peerages of the second creation became extinct because he lacked male heirs, his son George having been executed for treason.
As a reward for his patriotism and generosity, Piers Butler was created Earl of Ossory five days after resigning his rights to the other titles.
The third creation for Piers Butler (in 1538) merely recognised the reality of the situation prior to the Boleyn irruption, and in 1544 an act of parliament confirmed him in the possession of his earldom, which was declared to be the creation of 1328, and not the new creation of 1538.
Through his marriage with his cousin Elizabeth Preston, granddaughter of the third earl, he had reunited the titles with the Ormonde estates.
Prior to the creation of the Earldom of Ormond, the First Earl's father had been created the first Earl of Carrick.
After a gap of 7 years following his father's death, James, who had recently married Eleanor de Bohun (a granddaughter of Edward I) was rewarded with an earldom in his own right – Ormond.
A later peerage title, the Earldom of Gowran, was granted to the seventh son of the 1st Duke of Ormond in 1676 but became extinct within less than two years.
The presumed successors of the 7th marquess in the Earldoms of Ormonde and Ossory have been the 17th and 18th Viscounts Mountgarret, descending in the male line from a younger son of the 8th Earl; however, no claim from the 17th or 18th viscount was submitted to the Monarch.
Since its formation in 1990, the group has released six studio albums, which have achieved multi-platinum and gold certification, as well as numerous charting singles, a compilation, and a CD+DVD.
The band has toured or played selected shows with such bands as Living Colour, The Flaming Lips, Our Lady Peace, Rush, Henry Rollins, Aerosmith, Godsmack, Metallica, Radiohead, The Offspring, Sponge, Seaweed, Hinder, Suicidal Tendencies and Danzig.
Formed in November 1990, Candlebox originally consisted of lead singer Kevin Martin, guitarist Peter Klett, bassist Bardi Martin, and drummer Scott Mercado.
By 1992 they were playing regularly in some of Seattle's top clubs, including the now defunct RKCNDY and Farside, to ever increasing audiences.
The tremendous radio, concert, and television success gained them a main-stage slot at Woodstock '94 and put Candlebox at the forefront of the 1990s post-grunge scene.
According to Martin, the band was unhappy with their record contract and attempted to be freed from Maverick after 2 years by breaking up.
The former Candlebox members would pursue other musical endeavors during the 2000s; in 2005, Kevin Martin recorded and performed as frontman of The Hiwatts.
Bardi Martin left the band in 2007 to continue his education to become a lawyer, with Adam Kury as his replacement.
The album was produced by Ron Aniello (Lifehouse, Barenaked Ladies) and features performances by both Scott Mercado and Dave Krusen on drums.
In 2009, Kevin Martin and Sean Hennesy formed The Gracious Few with Live members Chad Taylor, Patrick Dahlheimer, and Chad Gracey.
On August 9, 2010, Candlebox kicked off a five-show stint overseas performing for U.S. troops at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait and continued on to Iraq.
In 2010, Peter Klett and Scott Mercado formed Lotus Crush, consisting of: Terry McDermott (lead vocals), Peter Klett (lead guitar), Johnny Bacolas (bass), Scott Mercado (drums), and John Luzzi (rhythm guitar).
Although the band had originally planned to put out a new album in 2015, those plans were postponed after Candlebox parted ways with their record label at the time.
It was then announced in August 2015 that Candlebox had inked a record deal through Pavement Music and that they were working on a new record for an early 2016 release.
Lead singer Kevin Martin confirmed and elaborated on plans for the new record in an interview with The Gentlemen's Show podcast on August 27, 2015, stating that the targeted release date was March 11, 2016.
In July 2018, the original Candlebox lineup had a one-off reunion for the two live shows in Seattle, performing their debut album in its entirety to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its release.
Earl of Ossory is a subsidiary title held by the Earl of Ormond that was created in the Peerage of Ireland in 1528.
During King Henry VIII of England's pursuit of Anne Boleyn, who would be his second wife, he arranged for the main claimant to the earldom of Ormond, Piers Butler, to renounce all his claims to the titles in favour of Anne's father, Thomas Boleyn.
In 1662, the eldest son of James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde was called to the Irish House of Lords on a writ of acceleration and became known as Thomas Butler, 6th Earl of Ossory.
A tonewheel or tone wheel is a simple electromechanical apparatus for generating electric musical notes in electromechanical organ instruments such as the Hammond Organ.
by Rudolph Goldschmidt and was first used in pre vacuum tube radio receivers as a beat frequency oscillator (BFO) to make continuous wave radiotelegraphy (Morse code) signals audible.
Each disk has a given number of smooth bumps at the rim; these generate a specific frequency as the disk rotates close to a pickup assembly that consists of a magnet and electromagnetic coil.
As each bump in the wheel approaches the pickup, it temporarily concentrates the magnetic field near it, and thus strengthens the magnetic field that passes through the coil, inducing a current in the coil by the process of electromagnetic induction.
As the bump moves past, this concentrating effect is reduced again, the magnetic field weakens slightly, and an opposite current is induced in the coil.
Thus, the frequency of the current in the coil depends on the speed of rotation of the disk and the number of bumps.
Typically, the coil is connected to an amplifier through a network of switches, contacts, resistor banks, and transformers which can be used to mix the fluctuating current representing the note from one coil with similar currents from other coils representing other notes.
In some kinds of music this is undesirable, but in others it has become an important part of the Hammond sound.

The marginal propensity to save (MPS) is the fraction of an increase in income that is not spent and instead used for saving.
For example, if a household earns one extra dollar, and the marginal propensity to save is 0.35, then of that dollar, the household will spend 65 cents and save 35 cents.
The MPS plays a central role in Keynesian economics as it quantifies the saving-income relation, which is the flip side of the consumption-income relation, and according to Keynes it reflects the fundamental psychological law.
Or mathematically, the marginal propensity to save (MPS) function is expressed as the derivative of the savings (S) function with respect to disposable income (Y).
Since MPS is measured as ratio of change in savings to change in income, its value lies between 0 and 1.
Mathematically, in a closed economy, MPS + MPC = 1, since an increase in one unit of income will be either consumed or saved.
Generally, it is assumed that value of marginal propensity to save for the richer is more than the marginal propensity to save for the poorer.
If income increases for both parties by $1, then the propensity to save for a richer person would be more than that for the poorer person.
The slope of a saving line is given by the equation S = -a + (1-b)Y, where -a refers to autonomous savings and (1-b) refers to marginal propensity to save (here b refers to marginal propensity to consume but as MPC + MPS = 1, so (1-b) refers to MPS).
This next round of consumption leads to a further change in production, which generates even more income, and which induces even more consumption.
And thus, as it goes on and on, it results in a magnified, multiplied change in aggregate production initially triggered by a change in autonomous variable, but amplified by the creation of more income and increase in consumption.
The end result is a magnified, multiplied change in aggregate production initially triggered by the change in investment, but amplified by the change in consumption i.e.
It determines how much saving is induced with each change in production and income, and thus how much consumption is induced.
If the MPS is smaller, then the multiplier process is also greater as less saving is induced, but more consumption is induced, with each round of activity.
If the MPS is smaller, then the multiplier process is also greater as less saving is induced, and more consumption is induced with each round of activity.
For example, if MPS = 0.2, then multiplier effect is 5, and if MPS = 0.4, then the multiplier effect is 2.5.
The album was compiled and released by lead singer and bassist Geddy Lee and producer Paul Northfield in the wake of the deaths of drummer Neil Peart's daughter and first wife in 1997 and 1998, respectively.
The album is dedicated to the memory of Peart's daughter Selena, who died in a car accident in 1997, and his wife Jacqueline, who died of cancer 10 months later.
The New Americans is a seven-hour American documentary, produced by Kartemquin Films, that was originally broadcast on American television over three nights on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in late March 2004.
The observational documentary, which includes minimal voice-over narration and very little direct interviewing of its subjects (and none in which the interviewer's voice is heard), follows the lives of a series of immigrants to the United States over the course of four years.
The series was filmed between 1998 and 2001, although not all of its subjects were filmed during that entire length of time.
The filming during this period was extensive and occurred in the subjects' homes, at their places of work, in government offices, and in a number of other situations, many of them quite intimate.
We also were excited about the idea of telling these people’s stories before they left their countries so that we could begin to understand these people in their own country before they gave it all up to come here.
Additional major funding was provided by The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Annie E. Casey Foundation and PBS.
Additional funding also came from the National Endowment of the Arts, BBC, Nick Fraser, SBS, TV Australia, and VPRO, The Netherlands.
The New Americans is a presentation of ITVS in association with Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB) and Asian Women United/National Asian American Telecommunications Association (NAATA).
The New Americans won a variety of awards including: The Chicago Award for Best Chicago or Illinois Production, Chicago International Television Competition (2004); Gold Hugo for Best Overall Production, Chicago International Television Competition 2004]; Best Limited Series, Distinguished Documentary Achievement Awards, International Documentary Association (IDA) (2004); and the Christopher Award, TV/Cable Category, (2005).
John Robson (14 March 1824 – 29 June 1892) was a Canadian journalist and politician, who served as the ninth Premier of the Province of British Columbia.
In 1859, upon news of the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush, Robson moved west to the then Colony of British Columbia from Upper Canada.
Unsuccessful at prospecting, Robson helped his brother, a Methodist minister, complete construction of a church in New Westminster, the capital of the new colony.
His advocacy of devolution of power from the colonial governor, Sir James Douglas, to a democratically elected assembly brought him into conflict with the august and autocratic Douglas.
Douglas governed both British Columbia and the Colony of Vancouver Island from Victoria, and this absence incurred further complaint from Robson and his paper.
Robson joined forces with other colonial-era editors such as Amor De Cosmos in railing against the Governor and his officials, including Chief Justice Sir Matthew Baillie Begbie.
In 1862, Begbie cited contempt of court charges against Robson during the Cottonwood Scandal for publishing an unproven allegation that the Chief Justice had accepted a bribe from land speculators.
He was a reluctant supporter of the colony's union with Vancouver Island in 1866, but by 1869, Robson had moved his newspaper's operations across the Strait to Victoria.
There Robson served as political editor for six years, and became a passionate advocate for the colony's union with Canada, formed as a confederation of four colonies of British North America on 1 July 1867.
Together with De Cosmos and Robert Beaven (also future premiers), Robson founded the Confederation League which lobbied Seymour, as well as London and Ottawa, for British Columbia's entry into Confederation.
During British Columbia's colonial days, Robson had briefly served in the colonial assembly, but otherwise his political activity was limited to editorializing and lobbying.
Once the colony joined confederation in 1871, however, he ran and was elected to the new province's first legislative assembly as a representative for Nanaimo.
There he became an opponent of his former ally De Cosmos as well as Premier George Anthony Walkem, and advocated reforms, including female suffrage.
His support for Alexander Mackenzie's Liberals in the 1874 federal election, won him a patronage appointment with the Canadian Pacific Railway, a position he held for five years.
Davie, where he earned a reputation as an advocate for public education, accelerated settlement, improved exploration and surveys, and subsidies to transportation providers, such as railways.
He was also a vigorous opponent of land speculation, seeing it as a hindrance to settlement and transforming land into economically viable resources.
Perhaps his greatest success came as the leading advocate for constructing the Canadian Pacific Railway terminus at Granville, and his encouragement of the citizens there to incorporate their locality.
In 1890, to ease his workload, he moved from representing the busy, growing riding of New Westminster to becoming one of the members for the vast, frontier electoral district of Cariboo in the province's Central Interior.
His brief tenure is chiefly remembered for his continued actions to enable homesteading, as well as his lobbying the federal government to construct a dry dock at Esquimalt, just west of Victoria.
Robson remained premier until his death in 1892, which occurred after he hurt his finger in the door of a carriage during a visit to London, and got blood poisoning.
Consumption, defined as spending for acquisition of utility, is a major concept in economics and is also studied in many other social sciences.
According to mainstream economists, only the final purchase of newly produced goods and services by individuals for immediate use constitutes consumption, while other types of expenditure — in particular, fixed investment, intermediate consumption, and government spending — are placed in separate categories (see Consumer choice).
Other economists define consumption much more broadly, as the aggregate of all economic activity that does not entail the design, production and marketing of goods and services (e.g.
The Keynesian consumption function is also known as the absolute income hypothesis, as it only bases consumption on current income and ignores potential future income (or lack of).
More recent theoretical approaches are based on behavioral economics and suggest that a number of behavioural principles can be taken as microeconomic foundations for a behaviourally-based aggregate consumption function.
In the tradition of the Columbia School of Household Economics, also known as the New Home Economics, commercial consumption has to be analyzed in the context of household production.
The elasticity of demand for consumption goods is also a function of who performs chores in households and how their spouses compensate them for opportunity costs of home production.
According to mainstream economists, only the final purchase of goods and services by individuals constitutes consumption, while other types of expenditure — in particular, fixed investment, intermediate consumption, and government spending — are placed in separate categories (See consumer choice).
Other economists define consumption much more broadly, as the aggregate of all economic activity that does not entail the design, production and marketing of goods and services (e.g.
Bell was born 1 November 1940 in Newcastle, New South Wales, and at age 9 or 10 moved with his family to the town of Maitland, New South Wales where he was educated at the Marist Brothers.
He is a contemporary and friend of Bruce Beresford (film director, with whom he shared a house and for whom he did some film acting), Ken Horler, Mungo McCallum, Bob Ellis, Richard Wherrett, John Gaden, Laurie Oakes (journalist), and Les Murray (poet).
His achievements in theatre have been acknowledged by the Universities of Newcastle (1994), Sydney (1996) and New South Wales, all of whom have awarded him honorary Doctor of Letters degrees.
In economics, the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is a metric that quantifies induced consumption, the concept that the increase in personal consumer spending (consumption) occurs with an increase in disposable income (income after taxes and transfers).
For example, if a household earns one extra dollar of disposable income, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.65, then of that dollar, the household will spend 65 cents and save 35 cents.
Mathematically, the formula_1 function is expressed as the derivative of the consumption function formula_2 with respect to disposable income formula_3, i.e., the instantaneous slope of the formula_2-formula_3 curve.
If you decide to spend $400 of this marginal increase in income on a new business suit, your marginal propensity to consume will be 0.8 (formula_14).
The marginal propensity to consume is measured as the ratio of the change in consumption to the change in income, thus giving us a figure between 0 and 1.
The MPC can be more than one if the subject borrowed money or dissaved to finance expenditures higher than their income.
The MPC can also be less than zero if an increase in income leads to a reduction in consumption (which might occur if, for example, the increase in income makes it worthwhile to save up for a particular purchase).
One minus the MPC equals the marginal propensity to save (in a two sector closed economy), which is crucial to Keynesian economics and a key variable in determining the value of the multiplier.
In a standard Keynesian model, the MPC is less than the average propensity to consume (APC) because in the short-run some (autonomous) consumption does not change with income.
Falls (increases) in income do not lead to reductions (increases) in consumption because people reduce (add to) savings to stabilize consumption.
Over the long-run, as wealth and income rise, consumption also rises; the marginal propensity to consume out of long-run income is closer to the average propensity to consume.
In theory one might think that higher interest rates would induce more saving (the substitution effect) but higher interest rates also mean than people do not have to save as much for the future.
Economists often distinguish between the marginal propensity to consume out of permanent income, and the marginal propensity to consume out of temporary income, because if consumers expect a change in income to be permanent, then they have a greater incentive to increase their consumption.
However, the distinction between permanent and temporary changes in income is often subtle in practice, and it is often quite difficult to designate a particular change in income as being permanent or temporary.
What is more, the marginal propensity to consume should also be affected by factors such as the prevailing interest rate and the general level of consumer surplus that can be derived from purchasing.
If the multiplier is one, it means that the whole increment of income is saved and nothing is spent because the MPC is zero.
On the other hand, an infinite multiplier implies that MPC is equal one and the entire increment of income is spent on consumption.
Such changes are only possible during cyclical fluctuations whereas in the short-run there is no change in the MPC and formula_34.
Keynes is concerned primarily with the MPC, for his analysis pertains to the short-run while the APC is useful in the long-run analysis.
Its value is assumed to be positive and less than unity which means that when income increases the whole of it is not spent on consumption.
The Keynesian hypothesis is that the marginal propensity to consume is positive but less than unity (formula_35) is of great analytical and practical significance.
For it implies that the gap between income and consumption at all high levels of income is too wide to be easily filled by investment with the possible consequences that the economy may fluctuate around underemployment equilibrium.
Thus the economic significance of the MPC lies in filling the gap between income and consumption through planned investment to maintain the desired level of income.
When a person earns a higher income, the cost of their basic human needs amount to a smaller fraction of this income, and correspondingly their average propensity to save is higher than that of a person with a lower income.
If, at any time, it is desired to increase aggregate consumption, then the purchasing power should be transferred from the richer classes (with low propensity to consume) to the poorer classes (with a higher propensity to consume).
Likewise, if it is desired to reduce community consumption, the purchasing power must be taken away from the poorer classes by taxing consumption.
In the case of rich country, most common of the basic needs of the people have already been satisfied, and all the additional increments of income are saved, resulting in a higher marginal propensity to save but in a lower marginal propensity to consume.
In a poor country, on the other hand, most of the basic needs of the people remain unsatisfied so that additional increments of income go to increase consumption, resulting in a higher marginal propensity to consume and a lower marginal propensity to save.
This is the reason MPC is higher in the underdeveloped countries of Asia and Africa, and lower in developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Germany.
Much of the current discussion seems to rely on the MPC being unique to a country, and homogeneous across such an economic entity; and the theory and the mathematical formulae apply to this use of the term.
This has traditionally been regarded as construction or other major projects (which also bring a direct benefit in the form of the finished product).
Someone with above average wealth or income or both may have a very low (short-term, at least) MPC of nearly zero—saving most of any extra income.
Further, if the extra income is seen as regular extra income, and guaranteed into the future, the pensioner may actually spend MORE than the extra £1.
This would occur where the extra income stream gives confidence that the individual does not need to put aside as much in the form of savings; or perhaps can even dip into existing savings.
More importantly, this consumption is much more likely to occur in local small business—local shops, pubs and other leisure activities for example.
These types of businesses are themselves likely to have a high MPC, and again the nature of their consumption is likely to be in the same, or next tier of businesses, and also of a benevolent nature.
Other individuals with a high, and benevolent, MPC would include almost anyone on a low income—students, parents with young children, and the unemployed.
Paul Smith's College was founded through a bequest of Phelps Smith, son of Apollos Smith, whose Paul Smith's Hotel, built in 1859, was the most famous wilderness resort of its era.
Justice John T. Ellis of the New York State Supreme Court ruled that the college could not be renamed, and the proposed donation was withdrawn.
Auxiliary areas include The Joan Weill Adirondack Library, the campus' sawmill, the Saunders Sports Complex, the Joan Weill Student Center and the Paul Smith's College VIC.
Student-directed clubs administrated under the Office of Student Activities include fishing and hunting, Artisans' club, Outing club, Students for Environmental Action, Society of American Foresters, the Wildlife Society, Student Government Association, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Ski and Snowboard Club, Gaming club, Fish and Game Club, and Mycology club, among others.
In the warmer months students may rent canoes to use on Lower Saint Regis Lake, located on the southern side of campus.
It is home to the school's SCUBA and dive training programs, the kayaking club's whitewater training, and log birling practice, an event in woodsman lumberjack sports competitions.
The Paul Smith's woodsmen's team's nine-year winning streak (from 1957–1966) in the sport's biggest event, the Spring Meet, is the longest in the history of intercollegiate lumberjack competition.
Both the men and women's soccer teams at Paul Smith's compete in an annual rivalry game with the teams from SUNY-ESF (State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry), known as the Barkeater Cup.
There are two components of consumer spending: induced consumption (which is affected by the level of income) and autonomous consumption (which is not).
Economists expect tax manipulation to increase or decrease consumer spending, though the precise impact of specific manipulations are often the subject of controversy.
The equation is GDP = C + I + G + NX, where C is private consumption, I is private investment, G is government and NX is the net of exports minus imports.
Consumer sentiment is the general attitude of toward the economy and the health of the fiscal markets, and they are a strong constituent of consumer spending.
Sentiments have a powerful ability to cause fluctuations in the economy, because if the attitude of the consumer regarding the state of the economy is bad, then they will be reluctant to spend.
Therefore, sentiments prove to be a powerful predictor of the economy, because when people have faith in the economy or in what they believe will soon occur, they will spend and invest in confidence.
For example, some households set their spending strictly off of their income, so that their income closely equals, or nearly equals their consumption (including savings).
In times of economic trouble or uncertainty, the government often tries to rectify the issue by distributing economic stimuli, often in the form of rebates or checks.
Also, people are many times intelligent enough to realize that economic stimulus packages are due to economic downturns, and therefore they are even more reluctant to spend them.
By putting money into savings, banks profit and are able to decrease the interest rates, which then encourage others to save less and promote future spending.
When fuel supplies are disrupted, the demand for goods that are dependent on fuel, like motor vehicles and machinery, may decrease.
Often, consumers will not purchase energy-dependent products until they can be sure that fuel will be available to use the product.
Consumer spending dropped to about 50% during World War II due to large expenditures by the government and lack of consumer products.
Consumer spending in the US rose from about 62% of GDP in 1960, where it stayed until about 1981, and has since risen to 71% in 2013.
In the United States, the Consumer Spending figure published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis includes three broad categories of personal spending.
Northern Lights (titled The Golden Compass in North America and some other countries) is a young-adult fantasy novel by Philip Pullman, published in 1995 by Scholastic UK.
For the 70th anniversary of the Medal, it was named one of the top ten winning works by a panel, composing the ballot for a public election of the all-time favourite.
Children's dæmons can freely and instantaneously change their appearance into that of any creature; during puberty, however, their dæmons settle into one permanent form.
Mrs Coulter takes Lyra to her home in London, but before Lyra leaves Jordan, the Master entrusts her with an alethiometer, a strange truth-telling device, which she quickly learns to use intuitively.
Lyra uses her alethiometer to locate Iorek's missing armour; in return, he and his human aeronaut friend, Lee Scoresby, join her group.
Trollesund's witch consul tells the Gyptians of a prophecy about Lyra which she must not know, and that the witch clans are choosing sides for an upcoming war.
Guided by the alethiometer, Lyra detours at a village and discovers an abandoned child who has been cut from his dæmon and who soon dies.
She realises the Gobblers are experimenting on children by severing the bond between human and dæmon, a soul-splitting process called intercision.
Lyra and her companions are attacked by bounty hunters, and Lyra is captured and taken to Bolvangar, where she is briefly reunited with Roger before being sent to be separated from Pantalaimon.
Lyra activates Bolvangar's emergency alarm, sets the station on fire, and evacuates the children, where they are rescued by Scoresby, Iorek, the Gyptians, and the witch clan of Serafina Pekkala, who battle the station attendants as Lyra, Roger, and Iorek flee in Scoresby's hot air balloon.
He tells Lyra all he knows of Dust: that it has spawned parallel universes, it is somehow connected to death and misery, and that the Church believes it is the physical basis of sin.
Suddenly, he severs Roger from his dæmon, killing Roger but releasing an enormous amount of energy that tears a hole in the Northern Lights to a parallel universe, through which he walks.
It takes the form of a creature (such as a moth, bird, dog, monkey, or snake) and is usually the opposite sex to its human counterpart.
Some critics have asserted that the trilogy and the movie portray organised churches and religion negatively, while others – notably Dr Rowan Williams, formerly Archbishop of Canterbury – have argued that Pullman's works should be included in religious-education courses.
Literary critic Alan Jacobs of Wheaton College in Illinois suggested that Pullman had recast the Narnia series, replacing a theist world-view with a Rousseauist one.
The cast includes: Joanna Wyatt as Lyra, Alison Dowling as Mrs Coulter, Seán Barrett as Lord Asriel and Iorek Byrnison and Stephen Thorne as the Master and Farder Coram.
Players assume the role of Lyra as she travels through the frozen wastes of the North in an attempt to rescue her friend kidnapped by a mysterious organisation known as the Gobblers.
Together, they must use a truth-telling alethiometer and other items to explore the land and fight their way through confrontations to help Lyra's friend.
A TV adaptation of His Dark Materials, produced by Bad Wolf and New Line Cinema, and directed by Tom Hooper was first broadcast on BBC1 on 3 November 2019.
He is director of the Knight Center for Digital Media Entrepreneurship at Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and a fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University.

SUNY Morrisville (formerly Morrisville State College) is a public college with two locations in New York, one in Morrisville and one in Norwich.
It offers 23 bachelor's degrees, 52 associate degrees, and three certificate programs, and is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
Programs of study include agriculture, animal science, equine, dairy, livestock, agriculture business, automotive, business, computing and information, design and engineering, brewing science, horticulture, environmental resources, aquatic science and aquaculture, renewable energy, equine, health and human performance, hospitality, and technology and society.
SUNY Morrisville is also adjacent to the towns of Cazenovia (11.5 miles) to the west and Hamilton (8.4 miles) to the east.
SUNY Morrisville was one of the first campuses to hold a license to grow industrial hemp for grain and fiber research applications.
While Industrial Hemp is very responsive to nitrogen inputs in terms on increased grain production, at the same time, fiber quality may decrease with high N inputs.
We are looking to develop a grain yield response curve for nitrogen fertilization, test a variety of fertilization timing options, and sources of N fertilizer to maximize grain production.
Fiber quantity and quality will be measured to determine if it is possible to harvest high quality fiber from a duel purpose crop, or whether nitrogen recommendations are divergent for fiber and grain production purposes.
The New York State Senate awarded $4 million for the creation of the New York Center for Liquid Biofuels at Morrisville State College with a facility based in Cortland County.
The grant for the center will help fund a biodiesel infrastructure in New York State through the construction of an oilseed crushing and biodiesel processing plant and extensive research in the use of biofuels and byproducts.
The campus is situated on of land with more than 48 buildings, several athletic fields and of college-managed farm and woodland.
A branch campus in Norwich, New York offers programs in business, technologies, liberal arts/education transfer, and nursing to Chenango area residents and employers.
The Morrisville Auxiliary Corporation is a non-profit corporation that provides dining and other services to the Morrisville campus and elsewhere including SUNY-ESF.
As a separate corporation, it is not bound by the same rules that the State imposes on the SUNY schools themselves, namely it is not bound by the same level of openness that public institutions are required to maintain.
The subject of blindness and education has included evolving approaches and public perceptions of how best to address the special needs of blind students.
The practice of institutionalizing the blind in asylums has a history extending back over a thousand years, but it was not until the 18th century that authorities created schools for them where blind children, particularly those more privileged, were usually educated in such specialized settings.
The Ancient Egyptians were the first civilisation to display an interest in the causes and cures for disabilities and during some periods blind people are recorded as representing a substantial portion of the poets and musicians in society.
Asylums for the Industrious Blind were established in Edinburgh and Bristol in 1765, but the first school anywhere, to expressly teach the blind was set up by Henry Dannett in Liverpool as the School for the Instruction of the Indigent Blind in 1791.
Other institutions set up at that time were: the School for the Indigent Blind in London and the Asylum and School for the Indigent Blind at Norwich.
With the help of the Philanthropic Society Haüy founded the Institute for Blind Youth, the Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles, in February 1785.
He soon became determined to fashion a system of reading and writing that could bridge the critical gap in communication between the sighted and the blind.
These impressions could be interpreted entirely by the fingers, letting soldiers share information on the battlefield without having light or needing to speak.
The captain's code turned out to be too complex to use in its original military form, but it inspired Braille to develop a system of his own.
Braille worked tirelessly on his ideas, and his system was largely completed by 1824, when he was just fifteen years of age.
He published his system in 1829, and by the second edition in 1837 had discarded the dashes because they were too difficult to read.
Established in 1835, it taught arithmetic, reading and writing, while at the school of the London Society for Teaching the Blind to Read founded in 1838 a general education was seen as the ideal that would contribute the most to the prosperity of the blind.
Another important institution at the time was the General Institution for the Blind at Birmingham (1847), which included training for industrial jobs alongside a more general curriculum.
The first school for blind adults was founded in 1866 at Worcester and was called the College for the Blind Sons of Gentlemen.
In 1889 the Edgerton Commission published a report that recommended that the blind should receive compulsory education from the age of 5–16 years.
This act ensured that blind people up to the age of 16 years were entitled to an Elementary-Level Education as well as to Vocational Training.
By this time, reading codes - chiefly Braille and New York Point - had gained favor among educators as embossed letters (such as Moon type were said by some to be difficult to learn and cumbersome to use, and so (DOT CODES) were either newly created or imported from well-established schools in Europe.
While some of their methods seem archaic by today’s standards - particularly where their Vocational Training options are concerned - their efforts did pave the way for the education and integration of blind students in the 20th century.
Most still attended residential institutions, but that number dropped steadily as the years wore on - especially after the white cane was adopted into common use as a mobility tool and symbol of blindness in the 1930s.
An estimated 253 million people live with vision impairment: 36 million are blind and 217 million have moderate to severe vision impairment in the world with nearly 80 lakhs in India itself out of which number of blind students is close to 30 lakhs.
As per the law of nature, when one sensory organ does not function in human body, the other sensory organs become more active to compensate for the defect.
Aniruddha’s Bank for The Blind, conceptualized and operationalized by Shree Aniruddha Upasana Foundation, Mumbai, India, supports education for the blind in an affectionate and unique way.
The bank records the study curriculum in 12 languages like English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, Malayalam, Telugu, Sanskrit and so on by the people who are well versed in their own mother tongue.
To date, the recorded CDs have made a difference in the lives of blind people in almost 26 states of India and a few regions of neighbouring Pakistan too.
Most blind and visually impaired students now attend their neighborhood schools, often aided in their educational pursuits by regular teachers of academics and by a team of professionals who train them in alternative skills: Orientation and Mobility (O and M) training - instruction in independent travel - is usually taught by contractors educated in that area, as is Braille.
Blind children may also need special training in understanding spatial concepts, and in self-care, as they are often unable to learn visually and through imitation as other children do.
Since only ten percent of those registered as legally blind have no usable vision, many students are also taught to use their remaining sight to maximum effect, so that some read print (with or without optical aids) and travel without canes.
A combination of necessary training tailored to the unique needs of each student and solid academics goes long way towards producing blind and visually impaired students capable of dealing with the world independently.
The ruling United National Party of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe was defeated, winning only eighty two seats in the 225-member Sri Lankan parliament.
The United People's Freedom Alliance was formed as an alliance between President Kumaratunga's party, the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), and the leftist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna.
Other parties that belong to the People's Alliance, such as the Communist Party of Sri Lanka, the Democratic United National Front, the Lanka Sama Samaja Party, Mahajana Eksath Peramuna and the Sri Lanka Mahajana Pakshaya, later joined UPFA.
Other parties winning seats were the Buddhist, Sinhala nationalist outfit Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU), the pro-LTTE alliance Tamil National Alliance (TNA), the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) and the Eelam People's Democratic Party (EPDP).
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe's UNF government had been in limbo since October 2003, when President Kumaratunga declared a state of emergency and took three key cabinet portfolios for her party.
During the campaign, she argued that Wickremasinghe had been too soft on the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and promised to take a harder line.
The UNF, for its part, stressed the economic gains that had been made with the ceasefire and the need to find a negotiated solution to the civil war.
The backdrop to polling day was tense, with continued guerrilla activity by Tamil Tiger separatists and five politically motivated murders in the run-up to the election.
However, except for a slightly lower turnout in the Eastern Province, Sri Lanka and allegations of fraud in the North, the election was calm and orderly.
Sri Lanka's Elections Commissioner Dayananda Dissanayake said that despite reported cases of electoral malpractice in certain polling stations in six electoral districts, there would be no fresh elections in these areas and the results issued by the Commission were final.
The United People's Freedom Alliance vote and seat totals are compared with the combined People's Alliance and JVP vote and seat counts at the 2001 election.
The State University of New York at Farmingdale is a college in East Farmingdale, in the U.S. state of New York.
Also known as Farmingdale State College or SUNY Farmingdale, it is a public technology college of the State University of New York.
The college was chartered in 1912 as a school of applied agriculture under the name of New York State School Of Agriculture on Long Island.
Lupton Hall, which houses the departments of Chemistry and Physics as well the School of Engineering Technology, now bears his name.
Two of the oldest buildings on campus are Hicks Hall and Cutler Hall, which were constructed in 1914 and were originally called the Horticulture and Agronomy Buildings, respectively.
The buildings house four oil on canvas murals, painted in 1936 by local artists Frederick Marshall and C. E. Lessing as a part of the Works Progress Administration.
Ward Hall, also constructed in 1914, was the original dormitory and now houses College offices, including Alumni Relations and Business Outreach.
Later historical buildings include Knapp Hall, completed in 1937, and Thompson Hall, competed in 1938, which were each built in the Georgian Colonial style.
The Oak was planted in soil collected from all 48 states as well as from the allied nations from the war.
Its Solar Energy Center is the first center to be accredited in the Northeast and the fourth in the nation, and Farmingdale has a federally funded Green Building Institute, an electric-fuel-powered campus fleet, a charging station, and a Smart Energy House.
Farmingdale State College teams participate as a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division III and is a member of the Skyline Conference.
The program serves as a laboratory for the education of the student-athlete, and is conducted in keeping with the general educational mission of the College.
Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, tennis and track & field; while women's sports include basketball, cross country, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, track & field and volleyball.
The player controls a skier on a mountain slope, avoiding obstacles while racing against time or performing stunts for points, depending on the game mode.
When the player passes the 2,000-meter mark, the Abominable Snow Monster appears and starts to chase the player, eating them if it catches them.
Later, as a programmer for Microsoft he was writing programming utilities used in the development of software such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.
He had been focused on developing for the OS/2 operating system, but in 1991 decided to learn to write for the newly released Windows 3.0, and so created a new version of his skiing game in the programming language C, replacing the text-based environment with graphics.
It was distributed on Verbatim 3.5-inch GameSampler floppy disks, bundled with packs of 10 other blank floppy disks in the early 1990s.
Games journalist Alfie Bown described the way other popular Windows games required concentration or mental energy, playing into the operating system's reputation for usefulness and productivity.
Vincent noted fan theories that attempt to explain the Monster's background, as well as theories on how to supposedly outrun it (apart from pressing the key to accelerate beyond the normal limits).
At a distance they are difficult to differentiate from other pelicans in the region although it is smaller but at close range the spots on the upper mandible, the lack of bright colours and the greyer plumage are distinctive.
The pouch is pink to purplish and has large pale spots, and is also spotted on the sides of the upper mandible.
In flight they look not unlike the Dalmatian pelican but the tertials and inner secondaries are darker and a pale band runs along the greater coverts.
A few birds from India are known to winter in the Gangetic plains but reports of its presence in many other parts of the region such as the Maldives, Pakistan and Bangladesh has been questioned.
The spot-billed pelican is not migratory but are known to make local movements and are more widely distributed in the non-breeding season.
In June 1906, C E Rhenius visited a colony in Kundakulam in Tirunelveli district where the villages considered the birds semi-sacred.
The same colony was revisited in 1944, and was found to have about 10 nests of pelicans and nearly 200 nests of painted stork.
Another colony was discovered in 1902 at a village called Buchupalle in the Cudappah district, where these pelicans nested along with painted storks during the month of March.
Due to habitat loss and human disturbance, the spot-billed pelican's numbers have declined and many populations in Southeast Asia are now extinct.
The specific name refers to the Philippines, where the species was abundant in the early 1900s but declined and become locally extinct in the 1960s.
Estimates suggest that increased protection has since enabled a recovery in their numbers and the status of the species was changed from vulnerable to near threatened in the 2007 IUCN Red List.
Some early descriptions of nesting colonies have claimed them to be distinctive in their silence but most have noted colonies as noisy.
Unlike the great white pelican it does not form large feeding flocks and is usually found to fish singly or in small flocks.
The courtship display of the males involves a distention of the pouch with swinging motions of the head up and down followed by sideways swings followed by the head being held back over the back.
Several colonies have since been discovered and while many of these have vanished others have been protected and a few villages with nesting colonies have become popular tourist attractions.

Egan v Canada, [1995] 2 SCR 513 was one of a trilogy of equality rights cases published by a very divided Supreme Court of Canada in the spring of 1995.
Joseph J. Arvay, Q.C., represented the plaintiffs, who delivered a motion for a declaration of unconstitutionality to the Federal Court of Canada (Trial Division).
On April 29, 1993, the Federal Court of Appeal affirmed the trial judge's judgment and dismissed the appeal by a 2–1 majority.
As such, the appellant did not have to prove the distinction on such a basis is irrelevant to the objective of the legislation.
It may be correct to say that being in a same-sex relationship is not necessarily the defining characteristic of being homosexual.
If there is an intention to ameliorate the position of a group, it cannot be considered entirely rational to assist only a portion of that group.
A more rationally connected means to the end would be to assist the entire group, as that is the very objective which is sought.
L'Heureux-Dubé J wrote her own dissent expounding on what she thought ought to be the appropriate approach in both the sections 15 and 1 analyses.
She contends that the approach defeats the very purpose of the equality rights in Section 15 of the Charter, noting that the objective of the Act in question may be discriminatory per se, but would survive constitutional scrutiny.
She finds, therefore, that the exclusion of same-sex couples is indeed discriminatory and in violation of Section 15 of the Charter.
The Court unanimously held that sexual orientation is an analogous ground under Section 15 of the Charter and is therefore a prohibited ground of discrimination.
Today two of the subregions are in the new Lisboa Region, two in the Centro Region and one in the Alentejo Region.
About NUTS II only: since 2002, the subregion Lezíria do Tejo was reinstated to the Alentejo Region and the Médio Tejo and Oeste were reinstated to the Centro Region.
Bruce Beresford (; born 16 August 1940) is an Australian film director who has made more than 30 feature films over a 50-year career.
He could not break into the British film scene, so he answered an advertisement for an editing job in Nigeria, where he worked for two years, in Enugu.
Beresford attended the University of Sydney with critic and documentary maker Clive James, art critic and aficionado Robert Hughes, activist and author Germaine Greer, journalist Bob Ellis, poet Les Murray, and writer Mungo McCallum.
Beresford remains close friends with Australian comedian, satirist and character actor Barry Humphries, best known for his on-stage/television alter ego Dame Edna Everage, and his family.
The college provides programs in the Liberal Arts and Sciences as well as in Allied Health, Business, Technical, and Vocational areas.
The most popular majors at North Country include Sports & Events Management, Business, Liberal Arts, Nursing, Radiologic Technology, Computer Graphics & Design, Massage Therapy and Wilderness Recreation Leadership.
North Country offers a wide array of student activities that center around its close proximity to Lake Placid, Whiteface Mountain, located in Wilmington and the Olympic Center and Ski Jumps located in Lake Placid.
North Country Community College was the Official College of the 1980 Winter Olympic Games held in Lake Placid, New York and maintains a working relationship with the Lake Placid - U.S. Olympic Training Center which is located ten miles from campus.
Two to four eggs are laid in a nest in a tree or on the ground, normally hidden from view by long grass.
The body text is set in Miller in some books, and others are set in OUP Argo; the front page title (and other book titles within the book) is set in Lithos; the sanserif used for headings and in other places is OUP Argo.
It is bounded on the north by Magnuson Park, part of Sand Point; on the northwest by Sand Point Way N.E., beyond which is Hawthorne Hills; on the southwest by Ivanhoe Place N.E., beyond which is Laurelhurst; and on the southeast by Lake Washington.
It is found mainly along the inland waters of the Indian Subcontinent but extending west to Sind and east to Thailand and Cambodia.
It is a gregarious species that can be easily distinguished from the similar sized little cormorant by its blue eye, small head with a sloping forehead and a long narrow bill ending in a hooked tip.
This medium-sized bronze brown cormorant is scalloped in black on the upper plumage, lacks a crest and has a small and slightly peaked head with a long narrow bill that ends in a hooked tip.
In some plumages it has a white throat but the white is restricted below the gape unlike in the much larger great cormorant.
The nests are placed in close proximity to those of other Indian cormorants, storks or waterbirds in dense colonies, often with several tiers of nests.
The Indian cormorant makes short dives to capture fish and a group will often fish communally, forming a broad front to drive fish into a corner.
The term 'penthouse' originally referred, and sometimes still does refer, to a separate smaller 'house' that was constructed on the roof of an apartment building.
While European designers and architects long recognized the potential in creating living spaces that make use of rooftops and such setbacks, in US cities, exploitation of these spaces began in earnest in the 1920s.
It was a matter of news when the development of a rooftop apartment at the Plaza Hotel overlooking Central Park was announced in 1923, and this was followed by rapid development of luxury penthouse apartments in the following years.
Due to the desirability of this outdoor space, buildings may be designed with such setbacks on more than one of its uppermost levels to allow apartments on several levels to feature such terraces.
A penthouse apartment/condominium may also provide occupants with private access to the roof space above the apartment, instead of, or in addition to, terrace space created by an adjacent setback.
Penthouse apartments have not only the advantages of a regular apartment such as security and convenient location but also many of those of a house such as size and design.
Similar to other city apartments, penthouses are usually located in the heart of urban centers yet offer a sense of being situated far away from or above noisy and crowded urban life.
Features not found in the majority of apartments in the building may include a private entrance or elevator, or higher/vaulted ceilings.
They may also have such features as a terrace, fireplace, more floor area, oversized windows, multiple master suites, den/office space, hot-tubs, and more.
Residents can also access a number of building services, such as pickup and delivery of everything from dry cleaning to dinner; reservations to restaurants and events made by building staffers; and other concierge services.
Penthouse apartments are considered to be at the top of their markets, and are generally the most expensive, with expansive views, large living spaces, and top-of-the-line amenities.
It is widely distributed across the Indian Subcontinent and extends east to Java, where it is sometimes called the Javanese cormorant.
It forages singly or sometimes in loose groups in lowland freshwater bodies, including small ponds, large lakes, streams and sometimes coastal estuaries.
Like other cormorants, it is often found perched on a waterside rock with its wings spread out after coming out of the water.
The entire body is black in the breeding season but the plumage is brownish, and the throat has a small whitish patch in the non-breeding season.
The Indian cormorant has a narrower and longer bill which ends in a prominent hook tip, blue iris and a more pointed head profile.
A study in northern India found that the little cormorant fished in water which was less than a metre deep and captured fishes of about length.
Captured fishes are often brought up to the surface to swallow them and during this time other birds including other little cormorants, painted storks, gulls and egrets may attempt to steal them.
Like all other cormorants, they will emerge from water and will hold out their wings and stay immobile for a while.
A study in Sri Lanka found that the time spent with spread wings was always after they had spent some time underwater, and that the duration was related to time spent underwater and inversely related to the temperature and dryness of air.
The breeding season of the little cormorant is between July to September in Pakistan and northern India and November to February in southern India.
Both parents take part in building the nest, which is a platform of sticks placed on trees and sometimes even on coconut palms.
Kale originated in the eastern Mediterranean and Asia Minor, where it was cultivated for food beginning by 2000 BC at the latest.
These forms, which were referred to by the Romans as Sabellian kale, are considered to be the ancestors of modern kales.
USDA botanist David Fairchild is credited with introducing kale (and many other crops) to Americans, having brought it back from Croatia, although Fairchild himself disliked cabbages, including kale.
At the time, kale was widely grown in Croatia mostly because it was easy to grow and inexpensive, and could desalinate soil.
For most of the twentieth century, kale was primarily used in the United States for decorative purposes; it became more popular as an edible vegetable in the 1990s due to its nutritional value.
During World War II, the cultivation of kale (and other vegetables) in the U.K. was encouraged by the Dig for Victory campaign.
One may differentiate between kale varieties according to the low, intermediate, or high length of the stem, along with the variety of leaf types.
Many varieties of kale and cabbage are grown mainly for ornamental leaves that are brilliant white, red, pink, lavender, blue or violet in the interior of the rosette.
In a 100 gram serving, raw kale provides 49 calories and a large amount of vitamin K at 3.7 times the Daily Value (DV) (table).
As with broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, kale contains glucosinolate compounds, such as glucoraphanin, which contributes to the formation of sulforaphane, a compound under preliminary research for its potential to affect human health.
A story is told in which a neighbouring village offered to pay a generous price for some kale seeds, an offer too good to turn down.
It was discovered in 2001 by astronomers Scott S. Sheppard, D. Jewitt, and J. Kleyna, and was originally designated as '.
Kale is about 2 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 22,409 Mm in 685.324 days, at an inclination of 165° to the ecliptic (166° to Jupiter's equator), in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.2011.
It belongs to the Carme group, made up of irregular retrograde moons orbiting Jupiter at a distance ranging between 23 and 24 Gm and at an inclination of about 165°.
In mathematics, a Dirichlet problem is the problem of finding a function which solves a specified partial differential equation (PDE) in the interior of a given region that takes prescribed values on the boundary of the region.
The next steps in the study of the Dirichlet's problem were taken by Karl Friedrich Gauss, William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) and Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet after whom the problem was named and the solution to the problem (at least for the ball) using the Poisson kernel was known to Dirichlet (judging by his 1850 paper submitted to the Prussian academy).
The existence of a unique solution is very plausible by the 'physical argument': any charge distribution on the boundary should, by the laws of electrostatics, determine an electrical potential as solution.
However, Karl Weierstrass found a flaw in Riemann's argument, and a rigorous proof of existence was found only in 1900 by David Hilbert, using his direct method in the calculus of variations.
It turns out that the existence of a solution depends delicately on the smoothness of the boundary and the prescribed data.
Such a Green's function is usually a sum of the free-field Green's function and a harmonic solution to the differential equation.
The Dirichlet problem for harmonic functions always has a solution, and that solution is unique, when the boundary is sufficiently smooth and formula_13 is continuous.
For example, the solution to the Dirichlet problem for the unit disk in R is given by the Poisson integral formula.
For bounded domains, the Dirichlet problem can be solved using the Perron method, which relies on the maximum principle for subharmonic functions.
The solution of the Dirichlet problem using Sobolev spaces for planar domains can be used to prove the smooth version of the Riemann mapping theorem.
has outlined a different approach for establishing the smooth Riemann mapping theorem, based on the reproducing kernels of Szegő and Bergman, and in turn used it to solve the Dirichlet problem.
The classical methods of potential theory allow the Dirichlet problem to be solved directly in terms of integral operators, for which the standard theory of compact and Fredholm operators is applicable.
They are one of several types of classes of PDE problems defined by the information given at the boundary, including Neumann problems and Cauchy problems.
This is a survey of the postage stamps and postal history of New South Wales, a former British colony now part of Australia.
New South Wales was the first part of Australia to be settled by Europeans, and the first to operate a postal service, which in 1803 was carrying letters between Sydney and Parramatta for a 2d charge.
In 1809 a collecting office in Sydney was established to receive mail from passing ships, and in 1825 the postal service was expanded.
Mail coach service began in 1830, and in 1835 a new Postage Act superseded the 1825 statute and set rates based on weight and distance travelled.
The postmaster of the time, James Raymond, was in communication with Rowland Hill in England and worked to encourage the prepayment of letters in NSW.
In 1838, Raymond introduced envelopes embossed with the seal of the colony, and available for local mail for 1¼ pence each instead of the 2d charged letters paid for in cash.
However, the envelopes were not popular, and in 1841 Raymond was unable to develop official interest in postage stamps for the colony.
In 1842 regular mail service was carried by steamer between Melbourne and Sydney, and the first mail packet from Britain arrived in 1844.
An act of 1848 reformed the postal system and authorized the use of stamps; the first stamps appeared on 1 January 1850.
The 1d, 2d, and 3d stamps were separately engraved, and then re-engraved and retouched over the next year, yielding dozens of varieties.
In 1851 the colony switched to a more conventional design, a profile of Queen Victoria wearing a laurel wreath, first in a somewhat crude rendition, then a better one in 1853.
The colony also took the unusual step of using paper watermarked with the denomination, a practice that resulted in a number of mismatches between watermark and printed denomination that are rare and highly prized today.
These were large square stamps with the standard profile of Victoria wearing a diadem, framed with a hexagon and octagon respectively.
The use of perforation began in 1860; unfortunately for collectors, the stamps were very closely spaced, the perforating process not well controlled, and it is unusual to find stamps from before 1899 where the perforation does not touch or cut into the design on one or more sides.
New South Wales celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1888 with an issue of what is widely considered to be the first commemorative stamps.
A 2½d stamp depicting an allegorical figure of Australia appeared in 1890, while ½d, 7½d, and 12½d values were produced in 1891 as surcharges on existing stamps.
In 1897 two early semi-postal stamps were issued, paying 1d and 2½d rates, but sold for 1/- and 2/6 respectively, the additional proceeds going to a Consumptives' Home.
In 1913 the stamps of New South Wales were superseded by those of Australia; see stamps and postal history of Australia.
Most of the stamps of New South Wales are readily available today, but it is somewhat complex to collect; there are a dozen types of watermarks, multiple perforations, and numerous color shades.
While the Scott catalog distinguishes about 200 major types, it calls out many more minor varieties, and the Stanley Gibbons catalog totals some 400 distinct varieties.
Numerals and obliterators continued to be allocated to opening post offices up to the beginning of 1904 with 2099 (Toolijooa) probably the last number assigned.
The patterns of allocation provide a way of tracking the history of settlement of the state, although made complex by re-allocations as post offices closed or jurisdiction was transferred, as happened when Queensland became a separate colony.
This means that covers or stamps torn from covers or pairs of stamps can be used to tie numbers to mailing offices where official records are missing.
Newspaper wrappers were available from 1864, New South Wales being the second postal administration after the United States to issue newspaper wrappers.
Postcards were available from 1875 and, by the time the Australian Commonwealth postcards were introduced, New South Wales had produced a total of 34 different items.
Meren(gue)house/Merenrap (merenrap or merenhouse) is a hip hop music style formed by blending merengue music, with house music, hip hop music, and Caribbean music.
Dominican Merengue music can be considered an expression of Dominican transnationalism, as there was a significant shift in migration of Dominicans to New York City in the twentieth century.
It is not surprising that merenhouse, a musical hybrid, was popular to a generation of bicultural youth growing up in New York City with Dominican roots that combined both aspects of their culture.
The early 1990s saw a huge increase in immigration to the US from the Dominican Republic due largely to the greatly deteriorating economic situation of the Dominican Republic in the 1980s and early 1990s.
New York City saw the bulk of this initial Dominican population growth, and once those first Dominican immigrates got settled in, New York City became the hub of Dominican culture in the US.
This potent concentration of Dominicans all in one place allowed them to bring in their own culture while they assimilated into the melting pot of cultures found in New York City.
Merengue is one example of the many pieces of Dominican culture brought during this period of immigration, which was a key element to the creation of Merenhouse.
They have received acclaim from being one of the first groups to combine Merengue and House music, selling around 2 million albums around the world.
Proyecto Uno is a Dominican-American merenrap group which helped popularize a musical style that blends Merengue with rap, techno, dancehall reggae, and hip hop.
China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited (), also known as China Eastern, is an airline headquartered in the China Eastern Airlines Building, on the grounds of Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport in Changning District, Shanghai.
In 1997, China Eastern took over the unprofitable China General Aviation and also became the country's first airline to offer shares on the international market.
The Chinese government has a majority ownership stake in China Eastern Airlines (61.64%), while some shares are publicly held (H shares, 32.19%); A shares, 6.17%.
On 20 April 2006 the media broke the news of a possible sale of up to 20% of its stake to foreign investors, including Singapore Airlines, Emirates and Japan Airlines, with Singapore Airlines confirming that negotiations were underway.
After receiving approval from the State Council of China, it was announced that on 2 September 2007 Singapore Airlines and Temasek Holdings (holding company which owns 55% of Singapore Airlines) would jointly acquire shares of China Eastern Airlines.
On 9 November 2007 investors signed a final agreement to buy a combined 24% stake in China Eastern Airlines: Singapore Airlines would own 15.73% and Temasek Holdings an 8.27% stake in the airline.
Singapore Airlines' pending entry into the Chinese market prompted the Hong Kong carrier Cathay Pacific to attempt to block the deal by buying a significant stake in China Eastern and voting down the deal together with Air China (which already held an 11% stake in China Eastern) at the shareholders' meeting in December 2007.
Air China's parent company, state-owned China National Aviation Corporation, announced in January 2008 that it would offer 32% more than Singapore Airlines for the 24% stake in China Eastern, potentially complicating the deal that Singapore Airlines and Temasek had proposed.
The merger of China Eastern and Shanghai Airlines was expected to reduce excess competition between the two Shanghai-based carriers while consolidating Shanghai's status as an international aviation hub.
The new combined airline was expected to have over half of the market share in Shanghai, the financial hub of China.
In March 2012, it was announced that China Eastern was forging a strategic alliance with the Qantas Group to set up Jetstar Hong Kong, a new low cost airline to be based at Hong Kong International Airport, which would commence operations in 2013.
China Eastern would hold a 50% stake in the new airline, with the Qantas Group holding the other 50%, representing a total investment of US$198 million.
In April 2013, China Eastern got a temporary permit to operate in the Philippines, but the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines required them to obtain a technical permit and an airport slot.
In 2015, the airline entered a partnership with Delta Air Lines in which Delta will buy a 3.55% share in China Eastern for $450 million.
China Eastern from June 30, 2015, launched new service to the US, as the Skyteam member plans three weekly Chengdu – Nanjing – Los Angeles operation with Airbus A330-200 (twin-jet) (A332) aircraft.
In 2017, China Eastern Airlines reported a net profit of CNY6.4 billion ($983 million), up 41% over net income of CNY4.5 billion in 2016.
On select A330, business class seats are either Zodiac Cirrus or Thompson Vantage XL which is in a 1-2-1 configuration, or it could be angled flat beds arranged in a 2-2-2 configuration.
After the merger with Shanghai Airlines, China Eastern Airlines signaled that it would combine the two carriers' cargo subsidiaries as well.
The airline's new subsidiary cargo carrier, consisting of the assets of China Cargo Airlines, Great Wall Airlines and Shanghai Airlines Cargo, commenced operations in 2011 from its base in Shanghai, China's largest air cargo market.
China Eastern Airlines signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with Shanghai Airport Group, which controls both Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport and Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
The airline will allocate more capacity to Pudong Airport to open more international routes and boost flight frequencies on existing international and domestic trunk routes.
China Eastern Airlines's cargo subsidiary, China Cargo Airlines, is China's first all-cargo airline operating dedicated freight services using China Eastern Airlines' route structure.
The station is in Oakton, in the median of Interstate 66 at Nutley Street (Virginia State Route 243), with a postal address in Fairfax City.
The station can be accessed from I-66 without merging onto Nutley Street by a series of ramps that transport commuters to the station's north and south side parking complexes.
From the parking areas, riders use elevated walkways that bridge the east and westbound lanes of I-66 to reach the platform and mezzanine.
The station provides easy access to the nearby Town of Vienna, the City of Fairfax, and the main campus of George Mason University.
Although originally identified as the western terminus of the Orange Line in the 1968 plan, by 1978 Fairfax County was debating whether the initial terminus should be at the Vienna location or at another location in Tysons Corner.
The endorsement was made after determining it would cost an additional $59 million and take another five years to complete the line to Tysons.
After nearly four years of construction, the station opened on June 7, 1986, as the western terminus of the Orange Line.
Its opening coincided with the completion of of rail from the Ballston station and the opening of the East Falls Church, West Falls Church, and Dunn Loring stations.
In line with high-density development, the Fairlee Metro-West project aims to increase the housing density around the Vienna station from 60 single family homes to 2,250 condominiums and townhouses.
This development has been controversial, as many Orange Line commuters believe the system will be pushed beyond capacity at rush hours as a result.
Kult is a Polish rock band formed in 1982 in Warsaw, originally consisting of Kazik Staszewski (lead vocals, saxophone), Piotr Wieteska (bass guitar), Tadeusz Bagan (guitars) and Dariusz Gierszewski (drums).
Kult's early works were strongly influenced by alternative, progressive and punk rock, as well as the British new wave, but the band gradually incorporated more diverse and innovative styles in their music.
Before forming the band, all members of the original quartet had been playing together in either Poland or Novelty Poland, two bands led by Staszewski between 1979 and 1981.
After 1989 and the end of Communist rule in Poland Kult enjoyed great success, with each of a series of albums bringing new hits to the tops of the radio charts.
The band released a total of 13 studio albums and two live albums, including the 2010 recording of a MTV Unplugged concert.
Kult’s music has its roots in punk, but now it has some elements of rock, ska, jazz, traditional balladry, reggae, and even poetry.
From the start, the group has had an instantly recognizable sound and is distinguished by the voice and provocative lyrics of the lead singer, Kazik Staszewski.
In the nineties Kult took on the ‘new system’, which was seen as founded on pseudo-democratic leaders, the clergy and corporations.
The station is in the median of Interstate 66 at Gallows Road, just outside the Capital Beltway, and is accessed by a footbridge over the eastbound lanes.
Its opening coincided with the completion of of rail west of the Ballston station and the opening of the East Falls Church, West Falls Church and Vienna stations.
In August 2011, Mill Creek Residential Trust, in cooperation with WMATA, began development on a new mixed-use development area known as Alexan Dunn Loring.
State Route 520 (SR 520) is a state highway and freeway in the Seattle metropolitan area, part of the U.S. state of Washington.
The original floating bridge was opened in 1963 as a replacement for the cross-lake ferry system that had operated since the late 19th century.
In the 1970s and 1980s, sections of the freeway between Bellevue and Redmond were opened to traffic, replacing the temporary designation of SR 920.
Since the 1990s, SR 520 has been expanded with high-occupancy vehicle lanes (HOV lanes) and new interchanges to serve the Overlake area.
In 2016, the original Evergreen Point Floating Bridge was replaced by a wider bridge, as part of a multibillion-dollar expansion program that is scheduled to be completed in the 2020s.
The program also includes the construction of new bus infrastructure at Montlake and on the Eastside, as well as a bicycle and pedestrian path along most of the highway's length.
The interchange provides access to both directions of I-5 as well as a westbound off-ramp to Harvard Avenue and Roanoke Street.
SR 520 travels east across the south end of Portage Bay and its wetlands on the Portage Bay Viaduct, entering the Montlake neighborhood.
In Montlake, the highway intersects Montlake Boulevard (SR 513) and Lake Washington Boulevard just south of the University of Washington campus and Husky Stadium.
The freeway gains a set of HOV lanes and continues east on a pair of causeways through the marshlands of Union Bay and Foster Island, at the north end of the Washington Park Arboretum.
From Seattle, SR 520 crosses Lake Washington on the six-lane Evergreen Point Floating Bridge; at , it is the longest floating bridge in the world.
Tolls are collected electronically using the state's Good to Go pass or by mail, and vary based on time of day and the vehicle's number of axles.
, tolls for Good to Go users range from a minimum of $1.25 between midnight and 5:00 a.m. and a maximum of $4.30 during the morning and evening peak periods; tolls paid by mail range from $3.25 to $6.30.
The freeway reaches the eastern end of Lake Washington at Evergreen Point in northern Medina, where it travels under a landscaped park lid and next to a median-side bus station.
After an interchange and lid at 84th Avenue Northeast in Hunts Point, SR 520 travels eastward around the northern edge of Clyde Hill in a north-facing arc, passing through the Yarrow Point lid and bus station.
Within Overlake, SR 520 turns north and passes through several office parks, including the headquarters campus of Microsoft and the Nintendo of America branch office.
To serve exits at Northeast 40th Street and Northeast 51st Street, SR 520 gains a set of collector–distributor lanes, separated from other lanes by a concrete barrier.
The freeway crosses the Sammamish River and turns east, passing to the south of the Redmond Town Center mall and Bear Creek and to the north of Marymoor Park.
East of downtown Redmond, SR 520 intersects SR 202 and terminates; the road continues north as Avondale Road towards Cottage Lake.
SR 520's entire route is designated as part of the National Highway System, classifying it as important to the national economy, defense, and mobility.
The State of Washington also designates the SR 520 corridor as a Highway of Statewide Significance, a category of highways that connect major communities throughout the state.
SR 520 is maintained by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), which conducts an annual survey on the state's highways to measure traffic volume in terms of average annual daily traffic.
In 2016, WSDOT calculated that 80,000 vehicles traveled on SR 520 near its interchange with SR 202 in Redmond and 47,000 vehicles used it at SR 513 in Seattle, the highest and lowest traffic counts along the highway, respectively.
New towns along the eastern shore of Lake Washington were established in the late 19th century and initially served by steamship ferries, bringing passengers and goods to and from Seattle.
In 1940, the Lake Washington Floating Bridge was opened between Seattle and Mercer Island, carrying the Sunset Highway (later I-90) from Seattle towards Bellevue and the Eastside.
The new bridge allowed the Eastside to develop rapidly into bedroom communities in the 1940s and 1950s; the bridge also replaced the ferry system, which ceased operation in 1950, shortly after the removal of tolls on the bridge.
In the late 1940s, the state government conducted a feasibility study for a second floating bridge across Lake Washington, in response to increased traffic on the bridge.
In 1953, the Washington State Legislature approved the construction of a second floating bridge, using past and future tolls to fund its construction.
The west end of the floating bridge was to connect to the Everett–Seattle tollway (later I-5) at Roanoke Street, south of the planned Ship Canal Bridge, as well as the proposed Empire Way Expressway (later the R.H. Thompson Expressway) at Montlake.
The east end was to connect to the planned north–south freeway bypass of the Seattle area (later I-405), with an optional connection to the Stevens Pass Highway.
Two alignments for the floating bridge were considered in the late 1950s: a Sand Point–Kirkland, favored by the City of Seattle; and an Evergreen Point crossing, favored by the state government and the U.S. Navy, which operated Naval Air Station Sand Point.
The state government initially chose the Montlake–Evergreen Point alignment in 1954, intending to begin construction in 1955, but the alignment dispute delayed a final decision until December 1956.
Construction of the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge began on August 29, 1960, and assembly of the bridge's pontoons began the following year.
The bridge and its approach highways, connecting the main branch of Primary State Highway 1 in Seattle to its Eastside branch near Bellevue, were added to the state highway system in March 1961.
Construction of the western approach, an expressway between the Roanoke Interchange, Portage Bay, Montlake, and the Washington Park Arboretum, began in early 1962.
The eastern approach was constructed between 1962 and 1963, connecting the bridge to Medina, Secondary State Highway 2A in southern Houghton, and Northup Way—a local road that continued east towards Redmond.
The Evergreen Point Floating Bridge opened on August 28, 1963, along with the Roanoke Expressway, part of the Seattle Freeway, and the eastern approach to Houghton and Bellevue up to a temporary interchange with 104th Avenue Northeast.
The bridge and its approaches, constituting a state highway, were re-designated as Sign Route 520 (later SR 520) under the new state highway numbering system adopted in 1964.
SR 520 would use a temporary route on Northup Way (Northeast 20th Street) and Bel-Red Road between Bellevue and SR 202 in Redmond until the planned freeway was completed by the late 1970s.
A section of SR 520 between the Evergreen Point Bridge toll plaza and 104th Avenue Northeast was expanded in 1973 to accommodate a bus-only lane at the request of Metro Transit, which had begun operating express buses over the bridge.
The state government announced plans in 1968 to begin construction on the remaining freeway to Redmond, via a northeastward course through the Overlake area and across Marymoor Park.
Construction of a segment between 124th Avenue Northeast and 148th Avenue Northeast in Overlake began in February 1972 and was completed in December 1973.
The planned route of SR 520 along the north side of Marymoor Park in Redmond was given the temporary designation of SR 920 in 1975.
The two-lane expressway, connecting West Lake Sammamish Parkway (SR 901) and SR 202, was opened in July 1977 after several months of construction.
Completion of the last segment of SR 520, between 148th Avenue Northeast and SR 920, was given priority by Eastside cities and civic groups in the mid-1970s.
However, the City of Bellevue asked that the state government build a reversible bus lane on the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge before completing the last segment, due to increased traffic on the bridge.
The City of Redmond opposed the request, leading to a dispute between the two cities that was later resolved with a compromise to place completion of SR 520 ahead of the bus lane.
The state government approved funding for the Redmond project in 1977, extending SR 520 by at an estimated cost of $10 million (equivalent to $ million in dollars), funded using part of a statewide gasoline tax increase of two cents per gallon.
Contract bidding for the last segment was halted in 1978 by a lawsuit filed by a group of Eastside residents in opposition to the freeway, claiming that its environmental impact had been improperly assessed.
U.S. District Judge Morell Edward Sharp ruled in favor of the state government in March 1979, allowing for the bid to be awarded to a contractor.
The SR 920 designation was removed from the state highway system in 1985, and the section was re-signed as part of SR 520.
A traffic signal at the intersection of SR 520 and Northeast 51st Street remained in place until 1986, when it was replaced with an interchange.
The completion of SR 520 spurred new development in Downtown Redmond and the Overlake area, contributing to major traffic congestion on the freeway.
In 1994, the state government approved $81.1 million (equivalent to $ million in dollars) in highway improvements for the SR 520 corridor, including lane expansions and the addition of HOV lanes.
The segment from West Lake Sammamish Parkway to SR 202 was widened from two to four lanes in September 1995, and included the construction of a new bridge across the Sammamish River.
In late 1996, the highway's terminus at SR 202 was converted from a signalized intersection to an interchange, including an overpass connecting to Avondale Road.
SR 520's HOV lanes between I-405 and West Lake Sammamish Parkway were opened in 1999 after a $40 million (equivalent to $ million in dollars) expansion project.
The new lanes were restricted to two persons per vehicle, while the older HOV lanes between I-405 and the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge had a three-person requirement.
A new interchange was built at Northeast 40th Street in 2000 to serve the Microsoft Redmond Campus and other nearby employers, along with a set of collector–distributor lanes through the area, and ramp meters to manage traffic flow.
Between 1994 and 2002, portions of a multi-use pedestrian and bicycle path on the north side of the freeway were completed and opened, forming a trail from northern Bellevue to Marymoor Park in Redmond.
In the late 2000s, WSDOT completed several highway improvement projects on the segment of SR 520 between West Lake Sammamish Parkway and SR 202 in Downtown Redmond.
In August 2008, a flyover ramp from westbound SR 202 to westbound SR 520 was opened to traffic, replacing a pair of onramp traffic signals.
SR 520 was widened to four lanes in each direction in 2010, in a multi-phase project that added HOV and merge lanes, as well as reconstructed ramps at West Lake Sammamish Parkway.
In addition to the Downtown Redmond projects, a new lid-like overpass at Northeast 36th Street in Overlake was opened in 2010 to improve traffic in the area.
The overpass's $30 million cost (equivalent to $ million in dollars) was funded mostly by Microsoft, along with contributions from the City of Redmond and federal stimulus funding.
Since the opening of the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge in 1963, several proposals from local governments have requested the construction of a parallel span or additional pontoons to increase capacity and add infrastructure for rapid transit and bicyclists.
Daily traffic crossing the bridge rose from 17,400 cars in 1964 to nearly 100,000 in 1987, making the bridge the worst traffic bottleneck in the state of Washington.
By the late 1990s, the bridge was carrying twice as much traffic as it was designed to handle, and calls from Eastside cities and companies for a replacement bridge intensified.
WSDOT engineers also determined that sections of the bridge would fail during a large earthquake or a major windstorm, and that the bridge was nearing the end of its life expectancy, necessitating a total replacement.
The bridge underwent a major rehabilitation in 1999, including a seismic retrofit, and increased resistance to stronger sustained winds, to extend its life expectancy to 20 to 25 years.
The Washington State Transportation Commission began seeking alternatives for the bridge replacement project in 1997, including a Sand Point crossing and various designs for a parallel replacement span.
The $4.51 billion megaproject, which encompasses the SR 520 corridor between I-5 and I-405, was funded using a state gas tax and electronic tolls on the floating bridge introduced on December 29, 2011, to repay construction bonds over a 40-year period.
Construction of the SR 520 corridor project began in April 2011 on the Eastside, where WSDOT expanded the freeway to six lanes and added HOV lanes.
The project, completed in 2014, also included the construction of new bus stations and direct access ramps, new interchanges, park lids covering SR 520, and a multi-use trail.
Construction of the new floating bridge began in 2012, and it was dedicated on April 2, 2016, as the longest floating bridge in the world.
The new, bridge features four general purpose lanes and two HOV lanes, as well as a multi-use trail on its north side that opened on December 20, 2017.
The western approach was partially replaced with a new bridge for westbound traffic in August 2017, with the eastbound lanes remaining on the old approach bridge.
Improvements to the remaining segment of the SR 520 corridor, between I-5 and the floating bridge, were initially left unfunded, but underwent design and environmental review.
The first phase of the program, planned to be completed by 2023, will include construction of the eastbound lanes of the western approach bridge and a new Montlake Boulevard interchange with HOV lane ramps, a relocated bus station, and a park lid.
The second phase, to be constructed between 2020 and 2026, will include a new bridge across Portage Bay, a park lid near Roanoke Park, and a new HOV lane ramp to the I-5 reversible express lanes.
The third phase, to be constructed between 2024 and 2029, will consist of a second bascule bridge over the Montlake Cut, paralleling the existing Montlake Bridge, to connect SR 520 to the University District.
The SR 520 corridor is served by Sound Transit Express Route 545, as well as other Sound Transit Express, King County Metro, and Community Transit bus routes.
During peak periods, buses travel on SR 520 every one to four minutes between the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge and I-405.
Sound Transit will begin Link light rail service along the Redmond portion of the SR 520 corridor in 2023, with the opening of the East Link Extension.
Approved by voters in 2008, the line will connect Overlake Transit Center at Northeast 40th Street and Overlake Village station at 152nd Avenue Northeast to Seattle and Downtown Bellevue, crossing Lake Washington on the I-90 floating bridge.
In 2024, the line will be extended along SR 520 to Downtown Redmond, using funding from the Sound Transit 3 program approved by voters in 2016.
Canandaigua Lake State Marine Park is a New York state park and boat launch located on the north shore of Canandaigua Lake in Ontario County, New York.
The park offers three concrete boat ramps, with room for six boats to launch or be removed from the water simultaneously.
Between September 2011 and May 2012, the park was closed to allow for the complete reconstruction of the boat launch area.
Although the park's primary purpose is to serve as a boat launch facility, fishing from shore is also permitted at the park.
West Falls Church is a Washington Metro station in Idylwood, Virginia on the Orange Line, the first station inside the beltway on the Orange Line going east.
It is one of only two stations in the system to have three tracks, the other being the National Airport station.
The station serves the suburban community of Falls Church and the Northern Virginia Center operated by Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia.
While the station has a street address on Haycock Road, it is physically located in the median of Interstate 66 near Virginia State Route 7 (Leesburg Pike); riders access the platform and mezzanine by means of an elevated walkway from the parking area.
This is a major suburban transfer station, as many commuter buses that serve communities near the Dulles Toll and Access Roads (Virginia State Route 267) connect to the Metro system at West Falls Church using a bus-only exit from the Access Road.
These buses include Fairfax Connector to points within Fairfax including Reston and Herndon, Metrobus to Tysons Corner, and Loudoun County Transit reverse commute routes to businesses including AOL and MCI and transfer points in Dulles.
With the opening of the Silver Line on July 26, 2014, many commuter bus routes that formerly terminated at West Falls Church were rerouted to instead terminate at locations along the new Silver Line stations in Tysons Corner and Reston.
West Falls Church was also the original staging point for Washington Flyer buses to Dulles Airport, but this shifted to Wiehle-Reston East with the opening of the Silver Line.
The Silver Line joins the Orange Line via a flying junction immediately east of this station but does not serve the station.
Plans originally called for the Silver Line to stop at West Falls Church, but it was cut out of the final plan.
Its opening coincided with the completion of of rail west of the Ballston station and the opening of the East Falls Church, Dunn Loring and Vienna stations.
In 1999, the station was renamed West Falls Church–VT/UVA, when the initialisms for Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia were added to the station's name, two years after the dedication of the shared graduate center.
Born near Barrie, Upper Canada, Semlin worked there as a schoolteacher until 1862 when he moved to British Columbia during the gold rush to become a prospector.
He entered politics when British Columbia became a province of Canada, in 1871, winning the Yale riding in the provincial legislature in 1871 and was defeated in 1876, though won election again in 1882.
The site was chosen there as Cache Creek was the midpoint between the Cariboo region to the north and the populated areas of the Lower Mainland to the south.
His government lasted only two years and resigned to make way for the rump regime of Joseph Martin, who was defeated in the election of 1900.
Semlin raised a daughter, Mary, and left much of his estate, valued at just over $50,000 and consisting mainly of stock in the Dominion Ranch to her.
His name features in the Cache Creek area in the Canadian Pacific Railway railway-point name Semlin, on the south bank the Thompson River near Cache Creek and in the name of the Semlin Valley which stretches east from Cache Creek on the north side of the Thompson, and is the route of the Trans-Canada Highway today.
East of this station, the trains heading toward downtown DC descends underground, therefore leaving the median of I-66 and entering subway mode.
The station serves the communities of Falls Church and Arlington, Virginia and is located in the median of Interstate 66 near Lee Highway (U.S. Route 29).
Its opening coincided with the completion of of rail west of the Ballston station and the opening of the West Falls Church, Dunn Loring, and Vienna stations.
The Silver Line began service on July 26, 2014, resulting in East Falls Church becoming the final transfer point before its split with the Orange Line.
Similar to all stations within the Interstate 66 median apart from West Falls Church, East Falls Church utilizes a simple island platform setup with two tracks.
There is an exit in the central part of the platform that leads to a mezzanine on the western side of North Sycamore Street.
The station's parking lot and bus bays are located to the north of this exit at the southwestern corner of the intersection of North Sycamore Street and North Washington Boulevard.
Born Kaja Murphy in Bellevue, Washington, and reared in Kirkland, Washington, Foglio graduated from Juanita High School in Kirkland, Washington in 1988.
She attended the University of Washington, where she was heavily involved with the local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism.
Maximilien Luce (13 March 1858 – 6 February 1941) was a prolific French Neo-impressionist artist, known for his paintings, illustrations, engravings, and graphic art, and also for his anarchist activism.
Starting as an engraver, he then concentrated on painting, first as an Impressionist, then as a Pointillist, and finally returning to Impressionism.
The next year, he received a promotion to corporal, and he became friends with Alexandre Millerand, who, in 1920, assumed the office of President of France.
In addition to Pissarro and Signac, he met many of the other Neo-impressionists, including Seurat, Henri-Edmond Cross, Charles Angrand, Armand Guillaumin, Hippolyte Petitjean, Albert Dubois-Pillet, and Pissarro's son Lucien.
With the exception of the years 1915 to 1919, Luce exhibited in every show at Les Indépendants from 1887 until he died in 1941, including a thirty-year retrospective held in 1926.
In 1909, he was elected Vice President of the Société des Artistes Indépendants, and was elected President in 1935, following the death of Signac, who had held the post since 1908.
However, in 1940 he resigned from the position as a protest against the Vichy regime's laws which would have prohibited Jewish artists from participating in the group.
While there, he met Les XX official Octave Maus, as well as Symbolist poet Emile Verhaeren and fellow Neo-impressionist painter Théo van Rysselberghe.
Starting near the early part of the twentieth century, his identification with the Neo-impressionists began to disappear, as he became less active politically, and his artistic style shifted from Neo-impressionism, and he resumed painting in an Impressionist manner.
He most frequently created landscapes, but his other works include portraits, still lifes (especially florals), domestic scenes, such as bathers, and images of welders, rolling mill operators, and other laborers.
On 8 July 1894, Luce, suspected of involvement in June assassination of President of France Marie François Sadi Carnot, was arrested and was confined to Mazas Prison.
She was frequently a model for him, appearing in many of his works, often partially or fully nude, other times depicted in scenes such as on a balcony or combing her hair.
The couple's first son, Frédérick, was born on 5 June 1894, but he died fifteen months later, on 2 September 1895.
Their second child, whom they also named Frédérick, was born in 1896, and in 1903 they adopted Ambroisine's nephew Georges Édouard Bouin, who had become orphaned.
The couple got married on 30 March 1940 in Paris; just a few months later, Ambroisine died, in Rolleboise, on 7 June 1940.
In May 1941, the Bibliothèque nationale de France held a memorial exhibition, and another memorial exhibition was mounted at Les Indépendants from March to April 1942.
Luce was among the most productive of the Neo-impressionists, creating over two thousand oil paintings, a comparably large number of watercolors, gouaches, pastels, and drawings, plus over a hundred prints.
Although he had had many solo exhibitions of his work in France, the first one in the United States did not occur until a 1997 retrospective at Wildenstein & Company in Manhattan.
The station entrance is located at North Fairfax Drive and North Stuart Street, near the intersection of Wilson Boulevard and North Glebe Road.
Its opening coincided with the completion of approximately of rail west of the Rosslyn station and the opening of the Court House, Clarendon and Virginia Square stations.
Ballston would serve as the western terminus of the Orange Line from its opening through the opening of its extension to the Vienna station on June 7, 1986.
In September 2013, the Arlington County Board approved a funding plan for the county's share of revenue generated by Virginia's new transportation legislation.
The plan calls for $500,000 to be allocated to planning for a new western entrance to the Ballston–MU station located at the intersection of N. Fairfax and Vermont Streets.
Under his design direction, the work of his firm has received numerous national awards and has been published and exhibited nationally and internationally.
Hargreaves and his firm designed numerous sites including the master plan for the Sydney 2000 Olympics, The Brightwater Waste Water Treatment Facility in Seattle, Washington, and University of Cincinnati Master Plan.
George Hargreaves and Mary Margaret Jones oversee a team of talented designers through the life of each project, maintaining a consistency throughout.
In 1986, George began to teach at Harvard University Graduate School of Design where he became a tenured professor and continued teaching there for over twenty years.
Prior to resigning from his position at Harvard to focus on his practice, he was the Peter Louis Hornbeck Professor in Practice of Landscape Architecture and taught advanced and theoretical design classes and core studios.
Its existence as a permanently embodied formation dated from 1809, when it was established by Lieutenant General Sir Arthur Wellesley (later to become the Duke of Wellington), as part of the Anglo-Portuguese Army, for service in the Peninsular War.
(Prior to this, it was common for formations with the same number to be temporarily established for a single campaign and disbanded immediately afterwards; divisions remained a permanent part of the British Army's structure only after the Napoleonic Wars).
The divisional insignia, the Crossed Keys of Saint Peter, were originally part of the coat of arms of the Diocese of York, and were adopted before or during the First World War.
For the rest of 1812, the division was part of a detachment (essentially a corps) under Rowland Hill which covered the southern flank of Wellington's main army.
It subsequently was briefly driven from a position at the Battle of Maya after Stewart retired the division prematurely to camp, but fought in the later engagements of the Battle of the Pyrenees and the battles in southern France.
It consisted at Waterloo of a brigade of British light infantry and riflemen, a brigade of the King's German Legion and a brigade of Hanoverian Landwehr.
The division began the day in reserve behind Wellington's right flank, but took part in the defeat of Napoleon's attacks later in the day.
The division formed part of the British army under Lord Raglan which landed in the Crimea and attempted to capture the port of Sebastopol.
It was commanded by Lieutenant General Sir George de Lacy Evans, and fought at the battles of the Alma and Inkerman, where it suffered heavy casualties.
In 1882, the division formed part of the Expeditionary Force under Lieutenant General Sir Garnet Wolseley which was sent to Egypt after a rebellion (the Urabi Revolt) threatened British control of the Suez Canal.
One of its brigades was used as a garrison of Alexandria, and did not take part in the main actions of the war, but the other brigade and the divisional headquarters took part in the decisive Battle of Tel-el-Kebir.
The division was part of an Army Corps called the Natal Field Force under General Sir Redvers Buller which was sent to South Africa when the Boer War broke out in 1899.
The division, or parts of it, suffered defeats at the Battle of Colenso and the Battle of Spion Kop before gaining victory at the Battle of the Tugela Heights during the Relief of Ladysmith.
In 1902 the army was restructured, and a 2nd Infantry division was established permanently as part of the 1st Army Corps, comprising the 3rd and 4th Infantry Brigades.
The division was subsequently stationed on Salisbury Plain, and designated to be part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) which would be despatched to the continent in the case of a general European war.
When the First World War broke out, in August 1914, the BEF was sent to support the French and Belgian armies.
The division took part in the Battle of Mons and the subsequent retreat, and, along with most of the rest of the original BEF, suffered heavy casualties in the First Battle of Ypres in November.
Although most of the division's regulars became casualties or were transferred to other formations, the division never lost its standing and reputation as a Regular Army formation.
The brigade left the division on 20 August 1915 to join the Guards Division and was renamed as the 1st Guards Brigade.
The brigade joined the division in August 1915 from the 27th Division and left in November for the 33rd Division, where it swapped with the 99th Brigade.
In September 1939, shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War, it once again became part of a British Expeditionary Force (BEF), under Field Marshal Lord Gort, sent to fight alongside the French Army.
The division was sent to the Franco-Belgian border, arriving on 21 September 1939, where it came under command of I Corps, and was to remain there for the next few months.
In May 1940, the BEF, including the 2nd Infantry Division, was driven from France during the retreat to Dunkirk, where the division (from 20 May commanded by Major-General Noel Irwin) was evacuated to England, with few casualties but losing almost all its equipment.
During the retreat, two members of the division were awarded the Victoria Cross: Second Lieutenant Richard Annand of the 2nd Battalion, Durham Light Infantry and Company Sergeant Major George Gristock of the 2nd Battalion, Royal Norfolk Regiment.
The 2nd Infantry Division was re-equipped in Britain and soon brought up to strength in numbers, although, like most of the British Army after Dunkirk, pitifully short of equipment.
The division was stationed in Yorkshire, serving again under I Corps control and in training to repel the expected German invasion, codenamed Operation Sea Lion.
After British and Commonwealth forces in the Far East suffered disastrous defeats in late 1941 and early 1942, the division, under War Office control and commanded now by Major-General John Grover, was sent to India, which was threatened by Japanese advances and internal disorder.
In late October 1942 the 6th Infantry Brigade was temporarily detached from the division and reorganised as an independent brigade group, complete with its own supporting units, and served in the failed Arakan Campaign, rejoining the rest of the division in India in June 1943.
In early April 1944 the 2nd Division was sent to join the Fourteenth Army's XXXIII Corps at Dimapur to fight its way down the road to relieve the besieged position at Kohima.
Kohima was relieved on 18 April but heavy fighting continued in the disputed position until under increasing pressure from a buildup in Allied forces (2nd Division had been joined by the 7th Indian Infantry Division in early May) the Japanese, having run out of food and supplies, were forced to withdraw and the Battle of Kohima was to all intents concluded at the end of May.
XXXIII Corps then tasked the 2nd Division to advance south down the road towards Imphal with the 7th Indian Division following up the retreating Japanese forces over the rough terrain to the east of the road.
On 22 June the 2nd Division made contact with the 5th Indian Infantry Division advancing northwards from Imphal and the siege of Imphal was relieved.
Both battles were some of the fiercest fighting of the war with Kohima labelled a miniature Stalingrad, due to the ferocity of the fighting on both sides.
The division, now commanded by Major-General Cameron Nicholson (Major-General Grover had been relieved the previous July), was withdrawn to India at the end of March 1945, as it could not be maintained nor kept up to strength, due to a severe manpower shortage in the British Army at this stage of the war, and all new replacements were being sent to the 21st Army Group in North-western Europe.
The division was rebuilt in India and was intended for further amphibious operations, but the war ended before it saw further action.
In September 1945 the divisional headquarters was in Malaya under HQ XXXIV Corps, with the three brigades en route to Japan, in Malaya, and in Burma earmarked for Malaya.
The division transferred to the command of HQ Allied Land Forces South East Asia on that date, moving back to the Southern Army on 7 June 1945.
The 5th Brigade left the division in October 1945 (following reorganisation) to become part of the Brinjap Division within the British Commonwealth Occupation Force in Japan.
The division was amalgamated with the 36th Division and reformed at St. David's Barracks in Hilden in Germany in February 1947.
It also amalgamated with the disbanding 6th Armoured Division in 1958 and moved to Tunis Barracks at Lübbecke in September 1959.
In the early 1970s, it consisted of the 4th Armoured Brigade and 12th Mechanised Brigade, but in 1976 2nd Division was re-roled as 2nd Armoured Division.
In a major reorganisation of British forces in 1982 and 1983, the 2nd Armoured Division converted back to become 2nd Infantry Division again.
Its new headquarters was at Imphal Barracks in York, and it consisted of three infantry brigades: the regular 24th Airmobile Brigade, and the 15th Brigade and 49th Brigade from the Territorial Army.
Following the end of the Cold War, the division disbanded in 1992, but the title was resurrected for the amalgamation of several military districts - North East District and part of Eastern District, when the formation reformed on 1 April 1995.
Following further reshuffling, 52nd Infantry Brigade was reformed as an operational, rather than regional, brigade consisting of several light infantry battalions, and left the formation to join 3 Division in 2007.
It was tasked with maintaining the infrastructure and resources and the command and control responsibilities, for the training and administration of all Regular Army and Territorial Army units in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the North of England and as such the deputy commander was always a Territorial Army officer at the rank of Brigadier.
Despite the closure of HQ 2nd Division in Edinburgh the Army will retain a General Officer Commanding (GOC) Scotland, in addition to a small number of staff, in order to maintain the level of senior representation in Scotland required to oversee the rebasing changes.
It was created in 1809 by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, as part of the Anglo-Portuguese Army, for service in the Peninsular War, and was known as the Fighting 3rd under Sir Thomas Picton during the Napoleonic Wars.
As a result of bitter fighting in 1916, during the First World War, the division became referred to as the 3rd (Iron) Division, or the Iron Division or Ironsides.
During the Second World War, the division (now known as the 3rd Infantry Division) fought in the Battle of France including a rearguard action during the Dunkirk Evacuation, and played a prominent role in the D-Day landings of 6 June 1944.
The division was to have been part of a proposed Commonwealth Corps, formed for a planned invasion of Japan in 1945–46, and later served in the British Mandate of Palestine.
It fought at the Battle of Bussaco in September 1810, the Battle of Fuentes de Oñoro in May 1811 and the Battle of El Bodón in September 1811, before further combat at the Siege of Ciudad Rodrigo in January 1812, the Siege of Badajoz in March 1812 and the Battle of Salamanca in July 1812.
It then pursued the French army into France and saw action at the Battle of the Pyrenees in July 1813, the Battle of Nivelle in November 1813 and the Battle of the Nive in December 1813.
The 3rd Division was also present at the Battle of Quatre Bras and the Battle of Waterloo in the Waterloo campaign under the command of Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Alten K.C.B.
The 3rd Division took part in the Crimean War and fought in the Battle of Alma and the Siege of Sevastopol.
In 1902 the army was restructured, and a 3rd Infantry division was established permanently at Bordon as part of the 1st Army Corps, comprising the 5th and 6th Infantry Brigades.
During the First World War the 3rd Division was a permanently established Regular Army division that was amongst the first to be sent to France at the outbreak of the war as part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF).
The division served in many major battles of the war, including the Battle of Mons and the subsequent Great Retreat, and later the First Battle of Ypres.
After the end of the First World War, the division was stationed in southern England where it formed part of Southern Command.
The 3rd Infantry Division, under the command of Major General Bernard Montgomery, was sent overseas to France in late September 1939, just under a month after the outbreak of the Second World War.
However, unlike in the First World War, where the division was almost immediately engaged in desperate fighting, there was no action.
In May 1940, after several months of relative inactivity, the German Army launched its attack in the west which resulted in the BEF being split up from the French Army, evacuated from Dunkirk.
Due to Montgomery's strict training regime, the 3rd Division suffered comparatively few casualties and earned a reputation as one of the best British divisions in France.
During the evacuation Montgomery was promoted to temporary command of II Corps and Brigadier Kenneth Anderson took temporary control of the division before, in July, Major General James Gammell assumed command.
For over a year after Dunkirk the composition of 3rd Division remained largely unchanged (except that the motorcycle battalion was converted into 3rd (RNF) Reconnaissance Regiment, Reconnaissance Corps).
Then, in September 1941, the 7th Guards Brigade was transferred to help create the Guards Armoured Division, and, in November, the 37th Infantry Brigade Group joined the 3rd Division and was renumbered 7th Brigade with the following composition: The brigade anti-tank companies were disbanded during 1941 and 92nd (Loyals) Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery, formerly the 7th Battalion, Loyal Regiment (North Lancashire), joined the division in March 1942.
By early 1943, the experiment with 'mixed' divisions was abandoned, and division reverted to being an infantry formation, 33rd Tank Brigade being replaced by 185th Infantry Brigade.
The 3rd British Infantry Division was the first British formation to land at Sword Beach on D-Day, 6 June 1944, as part of the invasion of Normandy, part of the larger Operation Overlord.
These included 27th Armoured Brigade (Sherman DD amphibious tanks) and 22nd Dragoons (Sherman Crab flail tanks), 1st Special Service Brigade and No.
41 (Royal Marine) Commando, 5th Royal Marine Independent Armoured Support Battery (Centaur IV close support tanks), 77 and 79 Assault Squadrons of 5th Assault Regiment, Royal Engineers (Churchill AVREs).
The division's own artillery were all self-propelled (field regiments: M7 Priest; anti-tank regiment: M10 tank destroyer) and the SP field guns and RM Centaurs were able to fire from their landing craft during the run-in to the beach.
In addition, 3rd British Division had 101 Beach Sub-Area HQ and Nos 5 and 6 Beach groups under command for the assault phase: these included additional engineers, transport, pioneers, medical services and vehicle recovery sections.
The 3rd Division's brigades were organised as brigade groups for the assault, with 8 Brigade Group making the first landing, followed by 185 Brigade Group and 9 Brigade Group in succession during the morning and early afternoon.
With the fighting in Normandy over after the Battle of the Falaise Gap, the division also participated in the Allied advance from Paris to the Rhine and fought in the Netherlands and Belgium and later the Allied invasion of Germany.
For the campaign in Normandy, the division was commanded by Major-General Tom Rennie until he was wounded on 13 June 1944; Major-General 'Bolo' Whistler, a highly popular commander, took command on 23 June 1944.
During the campaign in Normandy, the division won its first Victoria Cross of the Second World War, awarded in August 1944 to Corporal Sidney Bates of 1st Battalion, Royal Norfolk Regiment, part of the 185th Brigade.
Private James Stokes of the 2nd Battalion, King's Shropshire Light Infantry, also of the 185th Brigade, was the second recipient awarded the Victoria Cross in March 1945.
Postwar, the division was reformed on 1 April 1951, in the Suez Canal Zone, under the command of Sir Hugh Stockwell.
It became 3rd Armoured Division in 1976 and served with I (BR) Corps being based at St Sebastian Barracks in Soest near the Möhne Dam from 1977.
The division was given a new role as a mechanised division, becoming 3rd Mechanised Division with headquarters at Bulford, Wiltshire, in 1992.
As 3rd (UK) Mechanised Division it was the only division at continual operational readiness in the United Kingdom (the other at operational readiness being 1st (UK) Armoured Division in Germany).
Under Army 2020, the division was renamed as 3rd (United Kingdom) Division and continued to be based at Bulford Camp and to command the Reaction Force.
This was part of a growing practice for senior officers of the British Army and the United States Army to be assigned as deputy commanders (and effectively liaison officers) in each other's operational units.
On 11 July 2003, the division deployed to Iraq to replace the British 1st Armoured Division, signalling the start of Operation Telic II.
The 3rd Division also controlled numerous other coalition forces in southeast Iraq, including contingents from the Czech Republic, Denmark, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Norway.
Conesus Lake Boat Launch is a state park on the east shore of Conesus Lake, one of the minor Finger Lakes, near the village of Livonia in Livingston County, New York.
Early in the 20th century, William Nelson Page, a civil engineer and coal mining manager, joined forces with a silent partner, industrialist financier Henry Huttleston Rogers (a principal of Standard Oil and one of the wealthiest men in the world), to develop the Deepwater Railway, a modest 85-mile long short line railroad to access untapped bituminous coal reserves in some of the most rugged sections of southern West Virginia.
When Page was blocked by collusion of the bigger railroads, who refused to grant reasonable rates to interchange the coal traffic, he did not quit.
As he continued building the original project, to provide their own link, using Rogers' resources and attorneys they quietly incorporated another intrastate railroad in Virginia, the Tidewater Railway.
In this name, they secured the right-of-way needed all the way across Virginia to reach Hampton Roads, where a new coal pier was erected at Sewell's Point.
Merged into the Norfolk and Western Railway in 1959, a large portion of the former VGN remains in service in the 21st century for the Norfolk Southern Railway, a Class I railroad headquartered in Norfolk, near the former Virginian Railway offices in Norfolk Terminal Station.
While other railroads curved and went over hills to get to each town, the Virginian was built mostly for coal and was built as straight and steady in grade as possible.
Page, who was born in Virginia and educated at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, originally came to West Virginia in the 1870s to help build the double-track Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) in the New and Kanawha River Valleys.
A colorful man by all accounts, Colonel Page, as he came to be known, soon became involved in many coal and related enterprises in the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia, settling in the tiny mountain hamlet of Ansted in Fayette County, West Virginia.
Page was one of the more successful men who developed West Virginia's rich bituminous coal fields in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and built railroads to transport the coal.
Henry Huttleston Rogers (1840–1909) was a financier and industrialist who was raised in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, the son of Rowland Rogers, a former ship captain, bookkeeper, and grocer.
In 1861 he and a friend went to the mountains of Pennsylvania, and helped develop oil and natural gas resources there during the U.S. Civil War, eventually becoming one of the key men with John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil Trust and a multi-millionaire.
One of the wealthiest men in the US, Rogers was an energetic entrepreneur, much like the younger Page, and was also involved in many rail and mineral development projects.
Page knew of rich untapped bituminous coal fields lying between the New River Valley and the lower Guyandotte River in southern West Virginia in an area not yet reached by C&O and its major competitor, the Norfolk & Western Railway (N&W).
While the bigger railroads were preoccupied in developing nearby areas and shipping coal via rail to Hampton Roads, Page formed a plan to take advantage of the undeveloped coal lands, with Rogers and several others as investors.
Originally, the Page-Rogers scheme was a short line railroad, the Deepwater Railway, formed in 1898, an intrastate line intended to be only in West Virginia.
Eventually, after establishing relationships to interchange coal traffic with the bigger railroads failed, the Deepwater's right-of-way was extended to reach the West Virginia-Virginia state line near Glen Lyn, Virginia.
In Virginia, another intrastate railroad, the Tidewater Railway, was formed in 1904, with right-of-way across the southern tier of Virginia from Giles County (which borders West Virginia) to Norfolk County on Hampton Roads.
The principal points were Roanoke, Victoria, Suffolk, and Sewell's Point, a rural location where a new coal pier was located on the harbor near Norfolk.
Late in 1906, near the halfway point on the Tidewater Railway between Roanoke and Sewell's Point, a new town with space set aside for railroad offices and shops was created in Lunenburg County, Virginia.
Victoria was the location of a large equipment maintenance operation, with roundhouse, turntable, coaling and water facilities for servicing steam locomotives, and a large yard.
Offices for the VGN's Norfolk Division were built by adding a second floor to the passenger station building a few years later.
The Virginian Railway Company was formed in Virginia on March 8, 1907 to combine the Deepwater Railway in West Virginia and the Tidewater Railway in Virginia into a single interstate railroad, only a few months after Victoria was incorporated.
Work progressed on the VGN throughout 1907 and 1908 using construction techniques not available when the larger railroads had been built about 25 years earlier.
This feat, a key feature of the successful secrecy in securing the route, was not accomplished without some considerable burden to Rogers.
Rogers recovered his health, at least partially, and saw to it that construction was continued on the railroad until it was completed early in 1909.
The last spike in the Virginian Railway was driven on January 29, 1909, at the west side of the massive New River Bridge at Glen Lyn, near where the railroad crossed the West Virginia-Virginia state line.
Together, they had conceived and built a modern, well-engineered railroad from the coal mines of West Virginia to tidewater at Hampton Roads.
Mr. Rogers left his heirs and employees with a marvelous new railroad which remained closely held until 1937; his son and sons-in-law such as Urban H. Broughton and William R. Coe were among its leaders.
The VGN had a very major grade at Clark's Gap, West Virginia, and tried large steam locomotives before turning to an alternative already in use by one of its neighboring competitors, Norfolk & Western Railway: a railway electrification system.
With work authorized beginning in 1922, a 134-mile portion of the railroad in the mountains from Mullens, West Virginia over Clark's Gap and several other major grades to Roanoke, Virginia was equipped with overhead wires supported by a catenary system.
The 36 initial units were normally linked in groups of three as one set, and had much greater load capacity than the steam power they replaced.
The seemingly remotely located terminal Page and Rogers planned and built at Sewell's Point played an important role in 20th-century U.S. naval history.
Beginning in 1917 the former Jamestown Exposition grounds adjacent to the VGN coal pier was an important facility for the United States Navy.
In the mid-1950s VGN management realized that the company's devotion to coal as its energy source (for steam locomotives and the power plant at Narrows for the electrification system) was becoming overshadowed by the economies of diesel-electric locomotives and a scarcity of parts for the older steam locomotives.
Between 1954 and 1957 a total of 66 diesel-electric locomotives were purchased, including 25 Fairbanks-Morse H-24-66 Train Masters, and 40 H-16-44 smaller road switchers, two with steam generators to haul passenger trains.
At the end of 1925 VGN operated 545 route-miles on 902 miles of track; at the end of 1956 mileages were 611 and 1089.
Beginning in 1903 Page, West Virginia, named for Col. William Page, was the site of a switching yard, roundhouse, and station on the Deepwater Railway and later the Virginian Railway.
After the railroad eliminated steam locomotives in 1957 and the area's coal mines were largely depleted, the facilities at Page were unneeded.
Mullens and Princeton in West Virginia, and Roanoke, Victoria and Sewell's Point in Virginia were other locations where extensive steam locomotive servicing facilities and roundhouses were also no longer needed after 1957.
The passenger trains in the system's final decade, the 1950s, consisted of separate runs from Page, Virginia to Roanoke; and then, from Roanoke to Norfolk.
The latter route was on a more southerly and more rural itinerary than mainline of the Virginian's major competitor, Norfolk and Western.
During World War I, VGN was jointly operated with its adjacent competitor, the Norfolk & Western Railway (N&W), under the USRA's wartime takeover of the Pocahontas Roads.
However, the US Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) turned down attempts at combining the roads until the late 1950s, when a proposed Norfolk & Western Railway and Virginian Railway merger was approved in 1959.
Other portions of VGN right-of-way in eastern Virginia now transport fresh water and are under study for future high speed passenger rail service to South Hampton Roads from Richmond and Petersburg.
Although one of the smaller fallen flags of U.S. railroads, the Virginian Railway continues to have a loyal following of former employees, modelers, authors, photographers, historians and preservationists.
The Suffolk Passenger Station, which was also used by the Seaboard railroads, has been restored and is in use as a museum.
Similar plans are underway by the local chapter of the National Railway Historical Society in Roanoke for the Virginian Railway Passenger Station.
The Oak Hill Railroad Depot in Oak Hill, West Virginia, the only remaining Virginian station in West Virginia, has also been restored by the local chapter of the National Railway Historical Society.
In May 2003, the Virginian Railway Yard Historic District at Princeton was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
One steam and one electric locomotive have been cosmetically restored, and are on display at the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke, Virginia.
In October 2002 VGN authors and enthusiasts restored the Mullens, West Virginia Caboose Museum which had been ravaged in one of West Virginia's notorious floods.
In April 2004 children of Boonsboro Elementary School in nearby Bedford, Virginia and the local Kiwanis group in Lynchburg, Virginia teamed to raise funds and work to save the railroad's only surviving original (circa 1910) class C-1 wooden caboose.
342, built by VGN employees in the former Princeton (WV) Shops, was moved to newly laid rails at Victoria, where it is the centerpiece of a new rail heritage park, dedicated in summer 2005.
In May 2003 a Gathering of Rail Friends was held at Victoria, Virginia, home to a museum, with a park with historical interpretations of the roundhouse and turntable sites under development.
In April 2005, the Virginian Railway Coalfield Seminar was held for three days at Twin Falls State Park, near Mullens, West Virginia.
Railfriends from many parts of the United States toured coal mining and railroad facilities for three days on several buses, and participated in presentations and group seminars with a Congressman, local officials, several noted authors and historians.
In early 2012, Norfolk Southern announced a program to paint selected units of new GE ES44AC and EMD SD70ACe orders into heritage paint schemes for predecessor roads.
In 2015, a portion of the former Virginian in the state of West Virginia, was mothballed by Norfolk Southern due to a decline in coal shipments.
In May 2016, WATCO Companies entered an agreement with Norfolk Southern to lease most of the remaining active line in West Virginia between Maben and Deepwater and operate it under the Kanawha River Railroad (KNWA) to load trains from Norfolk Southern at three mines on their system.
The section between Maben and Mullens remains under Norfolk Southern control, with trackage rights for KNWA trains to interchange with NS at Elmore Yard.
North Melbourne is bounded by the CityLink freeway to the west, Victoria Street to the south, O'Connell and Peel Streets to the east and Flemington Road to the north.
Since July 2008 its local government area has been the City of Melbourne, when it took over the administration of parts of Kensington and North Melbourne that were previously under the City of Moonee Valley, resulting in an increase of approximately 4760 residents and almost 3000 workers (2006 Census).
Formerly known as Hotham, it was essentially a working class area, with some middle class pockets, and was one of the first towns in Victoria to be granted Municipal status.
At this time the area was not well defined and included Parkville and Royal Park, as well as a part of West Melbourne.
In the 1850s a Benevolent Asylum was built between Abbotsford and Curzon Streets, coinciding with the desire to find space to accommodate the growing population from the gold rush.
In 1869 some of these decided to form the Hotham Football Club that later became a foundation member of the VFA (Australian rules football) today known as the North Melbourne Kangaroos.
On 26 August 1887 the Borough was renamed North Melbourne Town, after the completion of the imposing North Melbourne Town Hall and the Metropolitan Meat Market.
Although there were pockets of middle class housing in the wider tree-lined streets such as Dryburgh, Chapman and Brougham, by the 1880s the suburb had become a predominantly working class area with most of the male population employed in local industry.
In the 1890s tram routes had entered the area as far as Abbotsford Street, walking distance from the Arden Street Oval.
More recent arrivals are refugees from countries such as Somalia and Eritrea; they live around the government-owned housing estates near the Melrose Street area, on the suburb's fringe.
At the , 41.7% of residents reported being born in Australia, compared to the national average of 66.7%; the next most common countries of birth were China 13.5%, Malaysia 2.9%, Vietnam 2.4%, England 2.3% and New Zealand 2.2%.
Residents of North Melbourne are significantly younger than most other areas; their median age was 28 years, compared to the national median age of 38.
Children aged under 15 years made up 10.5% of the population and people aged 65 years and over made up just 7.1% of the population.
Notable churches in North Melbourne include the Curzon Street Church (now known as St Mark the Evangelist), St Mary's Anglican Church and the ornate Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral, built in 1963, on the high section of Dryburgh Street.
North Melbourne was slower to gentrify than other inner suburbs, due to established families resisting the sale of their homes for decades.
Since 2000, there has been a large increase in new medium density apartment complexes being built and house prices now exceed Melbourne's median.
The club's football department and training sessions are based at its traditional home ground at North Melbourne Cricket Ground, which has recently been redeveloped.
Despite the naming, the North Melbourne railway station is actually in the adjacent suburb of West Melbourne, while the Flemington Bridge railway station is within North Melbourne boundaries and not in Flemington.
The Arden railway station is planned to be built on Arden Road within North Melbourne's industrial area as part of the Melbourne Metro Rail Project.
The Victorian Legislative Assembly is the lower house of the bicameral Parliament of Victoria in Australia; the upper house being the Victorian Legislative Council.
Victoria was proclaimed a Colony on 1 July 1851 separating from the Colony of New South Wales by an act of the British Parliament.
On the Federation of Australia on 1 January 1901, the Parliament of Victoria continued except that the colony was now called a state.
This enabled the factions in the party to field competing candidates without splitting the vote by keeping preferences within the party.
The Legislative Assembly presently consists of 88 members, each elected in single-member electoral districts, more commonly known as electorates or seats, using preferential voting, which is the same voting system used for the federal lower house, the Australian House of Representatives.
Members of the Legislative Assembly are elected for a fixed term of 4 years, with elections occurring on the last Saturday of November every 4 years.
At the beginning of each new parliamentary term, the Legislative Assembly elects one of its members as a presiding officer, known as the Speaker.
If the incumbent Speaker seeks a new term, then the House may re-elect him or her merely by passing a motion; otherwise, a secret ballot is held.
In practice, the Speaker is usually a member of the governing party or parties, who have the majority in the House.
The Speaker continues to be a member of his or her political party, but it is left to their individual discretion as to whether or not they attend party meetings.
The Speaker also continues to carry out his or her ordinary electorate duties as a member of Parliament and must take part in an election campaign to be re-elected as a member of Parliament.
A Deputy Speaker is also elected by the Assembly, who supports and assists the Speaker in the execution of their duties.
The Legislative Assembly is also supported by a department of civil servants who provide procedural and administrative advice on the running of the Assembly, and performs other functions.
The head of the department is the Clerk of the Assembly, who is assisted by a deputy clerk, an assistant clerk committees and an assistant clerk procedure.
The party or coalition with a majority of seats in the lower house is invited by the Governor to form government.
As Australian political parties traditionally vote along party lines, most legislation introduced by the governing party will pass through the legislative assembly.
It was transformed into a densely populated district of high rise apartment and office buildings beginning in the early 1990s, as part of an urban renewal program.
With the exceptions of the cultural precinct along St Kilda Road, few buildings built before this time were spared by redevelopment.
It is also one of the most densely populated areas of Melbourne, with a large cluster of apartment towers, including Australia's tallest tower measured to its highest floor, the Australia 108.
Southbank Promenade and Southgate Restaurant and Shopping Precinct, on the southern bank of the Yarra River, extending to Crown Casino, is one of Melbourne's major entertainment precincts.
From European settlement the area which is now Southbank consisted of some old factories, warehouses and wharves, mostly built between the 1860s–1920s when the area was part of the first port of Melbourne.
It had several bridges connecting it to the city, the first being the original Princes Bridge and later the Sandridge Bridge, which was formerly part of the Port Melbourne railway line from 1888 to 1987.
The Arts Centre precinct opened in the 1980s on former parkland, which was once used as an amusement park and featured the Southgate Fountain.
In part, this was aimed at stimulating development in a period when Melbourne was experiencing an acute economic downturn during the global recession on 1991–92.
Southgate, Sheraton Towers and new tall office buildings for The Herald & Weekly Times Ltd and IBM were built along with an award-winning pedestrian footbridge at about the same time in late 1992, and combined with a new Sunday arts and crafts market, attracted locals and tourists to the area.
Since then, the pylon underneath the award-winning Southbank Pedestrian Bridge has been utilised and is now home to Ponyfish Island cafe.
Development expanded along the Yarra River westward, with the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre in 1996 and Crown Casino in 1997, stimulating the first residential towers.
The arts precinct was extended with the construction of the award-winning buildings for the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art in 2002 and the Victorian College of the Arts school of drama.
Central Equity continued construction of several blocks of apartment buildings on much of the Southbank land, which it had acquired including Riverside Place, The Summit, Sentinel, Victoria Tower, Melbourne Tower and City Tower.
Central Equity apartments are aimed at both the owner occupier and rental market with management provided by Melbourne Inner City Management (MICM), a fully owned subsidiary of Central Equity.
With a boom in apartment building and the success of the Melburnian, the areas closer to the river began to attract developers.
The 91 floor Eureka Tower was begun in 2002, aimed at being the tallest residential tower in the world and was completed in 2006.
As part of the initial construction of Southgate, St Johns Lutheran Church relocated from the land that is now the site of the Herald Sun building a few metres up City Road, to 20 City Road, and serves the Southbank community as a church and spiritual centre.
A plaza linked to the north bank and Flinders Street railway station via a pedestrian and cycle path developed from the Sandridge Bridge.
The formerly disused bridge was opened to the public on 12 March 2006, just in time for the 2006 Commonwealth Games.
In May 2008 the Victorian Government created the new suburb place and name ‘South Wharf’, in the western end of Southbank (now encompassing the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre and the Polly Woodside National Trust museum).
Despite being dominated by modern apartments and office towers Southbank has a number of significant heritage buildings existing in the Arts precinct, on the eastern end and along St Kilda Road, which includes former Repatriation Commission Outpatient Clinic, the Victorian Arts Centre and National Gallery of Victoria (1960s), parts of the Victorian College of the Arts campus as well as the Victoria Barracks and Malthouse Theatre.
The studios are serviced by shows like 774 ABC Melbourne, 621 ABC Radio National, ABC Classic FM 105.9, Triple J 107.5, and television programs such as Stateline, ABC News Victoria and also with other programs such as Spicks & Specks, East of Everything, as well as entertainment, arts, documentaries and more, plus international broadcasts Radio Australia and Australia Network.
Southbank has a network of major roads running through it and is often heavily congested with traffic and limited mainly to offstreet multi-storey parking.
Although Southbank promenade forms part of the Capital City Bicycle Trail, the large number of pedestrians in the area means bicycle riding at high speed is hazardous; 10 km/h speed restrictions affecting cyclists are in place, with Victoria Police enforcing the speed limit.
Vasily Kirillovich Trediakovsky (; in Astrakhan – in Saint Petersburg) was a Russian poet, essayist and playwright who helped lay the foundations of classical Russian literature.
The son of a poor priest, Trediakovsky became the first Russian commoner to receive a humanistic education abroad, at the Sorbonne in Paris (1727–30) where he studied philosophy, linguistics and mathematics.
It discussed for the first time in Russian literature such poetic genres as the sonnet, the rondeau, the madrigal, and the ode.
His translations frequently aroused the ire of the censors, and he fell into disfavour with his Academy superiors and conservative court circles.
Russian orthography has been reformed officially and unofficially by changing the Russian alphabet over the course of the history of the Russian language.
Old East Slavic adopted the Cyrillic script, approximately during the 10th century and at about the same time as the introduction of Eastern Christianity into the territories inhabited by the Eastern Slavs.
No distinction was drawn between the vernacular language and the liturgical, though the latter was based on South Slavic rather than Eastern Slavic norms.
The emergence of the centralized Russian state in the 15th and 16th centuries, the consequent rise of the state bureaucracy along with the development of the common economic, political and cultural space necessitated the standardization of the language used in administrative and legal affairs.
It was due to that reason that the earliest attempts at standardizing Russian, both in terms of the vocabulary and in terms of the orthography were made, initially based on the so-called Moscow chancery language.
From then and on the underlying logic of language reforms in Russia reflected primarily the considerations of standardizing and streamlining language norms and rules in order to ensure the language's role as a practical tool of communication and administration.
However, with the replacement of Ѧ with Я and the effective elimination of several letters (Ѯ, Ѱ, Ѡ) and all diacritics and accents (with the exception of й) from secular usage and the use of Arabic numerals instead of Cyrillic numerals there appeared for the first time a visual distinction between Russian and Church Slavonic writing.
With the strength of the historic tradition diminishing, Russian spelling in the 18th century became rather inconsistent, both in practice and in theory, as Mikhail Lomonosov advocated a morphological orthography and Vasily Trediakovsky a phonemic one.
Attempts to reduce spelling inconsistency culminated in the standard textbook of Grot (1885), which retained its authority through 21 editions until the Russian Revolution of 1917.
His fusion of the morphological, phonetic, and historic principles of Russian orthography remains valid to this day, though both the Russian alphabet and the writing of many individual words have been altered through a complicated but extremely consistent system of spelling rules that tell which of two vowels to use under all conditions.
The most recent major reform of Russian spelling was prepared by Aleksey Shakhmatov and implemented shortly after the Russian Revolution of 1917.
Shakhmatov headed the Assembly for Considering Simplification of the Orthography whose proposals of 11 May 1917 formed the basis of the new rules soon adopted by the Ministry of Popular Education.
The decree was nearly identical to the proposals put forth by the May Assembly, and with other minor modifications formed the substance of the decree issued by the Soviet of People's Commissars in October 1918.
However, in practice, the Soviet government rapidly set up a monopoly on print production and kept a very close eye on the fulfillment of the edict.
A common practice was the removal of not just the letters І, Ѳ, and Ѣ from printing offices, but also Ъ.
Because of this, the usage of the apostrophe as a dividing sign became widespread in place of ъ (e.g., под’ём, ад’ютант instead of подъём, адъютант), and came to be perceived as a part of the reform (even if, from the point of view of the letter of the decree of the Council of People's Commissars, such uses were mistakes).
Nonetheless, some academic printings (connected with the publication of old works and documents and printings whose typesetting began before the revolution) came out in the old orthography (except title pages and, often, prefaces) up until 1929.
The reform resulted in some economy in writing and typesetting, due to the exclusion of Ъ at the end of words—by the reckoning of Lev Uspensky, text in the new orthography was shorter by one-thirtieth.
The reform removed pairs of completely homophonous graphemes from the Russian alphabet (i.e., Ѣ and Е; Ѳ and Ф; and the trio of И, I and Ѵ), bringing the alphabet closer to Russian's actual phonological system.
A codification of the rules of Russian orthography and punctuation was published in 1956 but only a few minor orthographic changes were introduced at that time.
The 1956 codification additionally included a clarification of new rules for punctuation developed during the 1930s, and which had not been mentioned in the 1918 decree.
Following the renewed discussion in papers and journals a new Orthographic Commission began work in 1962, under the Russian Language Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR.
The publication resulted in widespread debate in newspapers, journals, and on radio and television, as well as over 10,000 letters, all of which were passed to the Institute.
Responses to the article pointed to the need to simplify Russian spelling due to the use of Russian as the language of international communication in the Soviet Union and an increased study of Russian in the Eastern Bloc as well as in the West.
Additionally, Efimov claimed that a disproportionate amount of primary school class time was devoted to orthography, rather than phonetics and morphology.
The state's focus on proper instruction in Russian, as the national language of ethnic Russians, as the state language, and as the language of international communication continues to the present day.
The 4th Infantry Division was a regular infantry division of the British Army with a very long history, seeing active service in the Peninsular War, the Crimean War, the First World War, and during the Second World War.
It was disbanded after the war and reformed in the 1950s as an armoured formation before being disbanded and reformed again and finally disbanded on 1 January 2012.
The 4th Division was originally formed in 1809 by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, as part of the Anglo-Portuguese Army, for service in the Peninsular War.
It fought in the Battle of Talavera and the Battle of Salamanca, Battle of Badajoz and the Battle of Roncesvalles, Battle of Vitoria, Battle of the Pyrenees, Battle of Orthez, Battle of Toulouse.
At the Battle of Waterloo it was tasked with holding Wellington's right flank and, with the exception of its 4th brigade, took no active part in the fighting, but did capture the town of Cambrai afterwards.
The Division was also called for service during the Crimean War fought between the allied forces of the United Kingdom, French Empire and the Ottoman Empire on one side and Russia on the other.
It saw action in the Battle of Alma the Battle of Inkerman and the Battle of Balaclava, fought on 25 October 1854 (famous for the Charge of the Light Brigade and the Thin Red Line).
As a permanently established Regular Army division it was amongst the first to be sent to France as part of the British Expeditionary Force at the outbreak of the First World War.
It served on the Western Front for the duration of the war and was present during all the major offensives including the Battle of the Marne, Battle of Ypres, Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Passchendaele.
From early November 1915 until February 1916 the 12th Brigade was swapped with the 107th Brigade of the 36th (Ulster) Division.
Shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939 the 4th Division, under Major General Dudley Johnson, who had won the Victoria Cross (VC) in the Great War, was sent to the border between France and Belgium as part of Lieutenant-General Alan Brooke's II Corps of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF).
All three of the division's brigades were commanded by distinguished soldiers, the 10th by Brigadier Evelyn Barker, the 11th by Brigadier Kenneth Anderson and the 12th by Brigadier John Hawkesworth.
After the disastrous Battle of France in May–June 1940, where the division sustained heavy losses, and the evacuation at Dunkirk, it spent the next two years in the United Kingdom on anti-invasion duties and training for its next deployment.
In June 1942 the division, now under Major General John Hawkesworth, was selected to be converted into a 'mixed' division, consisting of two infantry brigades and one tank brigade.
As a result of this change, the divisions' 11th Infantry Brigade left the division and was replaced by the 21st Army Tank Brigade.
The division departed for North Africa in early 1943, arriving in Tunisia in March, coming under Lieutenant-General John Crocker's IX Corps, part of the British First Army.
During the Tunisian Campaign it was involved in Operation Vulcan, the final ground attack against Axis forces in North Africa which ended the North African Campaign, with the surrender of nearly 250,000 German and Italian soldiers.
After the Axis defeat in North Africa, in May 1943, the division was to remain there for the next 9 months, during which time it was converted back into a standard infantry division, with the 28th Infantry Brigade, consisting mainly of Regular Army battalions who had served on garrison duties in Gibraltar, arriving to replace the 21st Tank Brigade.
The division arrived on the Italian Front in late February 1944, relieving the British 46th Infantry Division, initially coming under command of Lieutenant-General Richard McCreery's British X Corps, then serving under the U.S. Fifth Army.
The division, now under the command of Major-General Alfred Dudley Ward, fought with distinction at the fourth and final Battle of Monte Cassino in May 1944, and later in severe fighting in the battles for the Gothic Line.
However, in November 1944 it was dispatched, with the rest of III Corps, to Greece to provide assistance during the Greek Civil War, and was to remain there until the end of the war in Europe in May 1945.
The Division was reformed from 11th Armoured Division on 1 April 1956, and took on 20th Armoured Brigade Group from the disbanding 6th Armoured Division in May 1958.
It was renamed 4th Armoured Division and served with I (BR) Corps being based at Hammersmith Barracks in Herford from 1978.
The Division was reformed again in 1995 as a regenerative division – a military district in all but name – that served as the parent formation for units in Southern England.
He was a long-serving Liberal member of the Australian House of Representatives, representing the Division of Bowman, Queensland, from 1975 to 1983 and Fadden, Queensland, from 1984 to 2007.
He was an announcer on radio and television from 1963 to 1965 and then a director of television station TVQ, Brisbane until he entered politics.
Jull was chair of the Parliamentary Committee on the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation 1997–2002, and of its successor, the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (formerly the Parliamentary Joint Committee on ASIO, ASIS and DSD), since 2002.
In this capacity he presided over the Committee's inquiry into the performance of the Australian intelligence services in relation to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction in 2003–04.
Jull was diagnosed with lung cancer, and in 2005 underwent surgery to remove one of his lungs, He retired from Parliament at the 2007 election.
The origins of the creature are not described in Tolkien's works, but critics have compared it to squids, the legendary kraken, and to Odysseus's passage between the devouring Scylla and the whirlpool Charybdis.
During their journey, they face two evil choices to cross the Misty Mountains: over the mountain of Caradhras through the Redhorn Gate, or through Moria, a dark labyrinth of tunnels and pits.
They first try the mountain pass, but the weather proves too severe, and the Fellowship turn back and approach Moria's West Gate, beside which the Watcher lived in a lake.
When the party begins to enter Moria, the Watcher seizes Frodo Baggins with a long, pale-green, luminous, fingered tentacle, succeeded by twenty more.
Tolkien's account of the creature at this stage is practically the same as in the final published version, except for the names of other characters.
Its emergence, physical appearance, abilities, attack on the Fellowship, and rupture of the Moria Gate are already present in his initial writings.
Essayist Allison Harl speculates that the Watcher may be a kraken created and bred by Morgoth in Utumno and that Watcher in the Water represents itself as a gatekeeper whose goal, in the context of the archetypal journey, is to guard the Doors of Durin keeping the heroes from entering into new territory, psychologically or spiritually.
In Jackson's adaptation, the Watcher is portrayed as a colossal, octopus-like monster with a gaping mouth and rows of sharp teeth.
Here, too, it grabs Frodo with its tentacles as described in the book, and reaches for the rest of the Fellowship following Frodo's rescue.
Peter Jackson revealed in the commentaries that the original idea was to have Bill the Pony dragged under water by the Watcher; but this was changed.
Originally, they planned to have an even longer version of the flashback in which Gandalf recounts his fight with the Balrog in Moria; this flashback would reveal that the underground lake at the bottom of the abyss cushioned the fall of Gandalf and the Balrog, who then (as in the book) continue to fight.
Moreover, in the concept art gallery feature on the DVD, John Howe and Alan Lee explain that the Watcher was one of the most difficult creatures to design, because it lacked virtually any description.
The canonical Watcher is fought upon reaching the Doors of Durin; the other two as bonus bosses encountered on a side-path.
The civil and ecclesiastical parish boundaries are roughly coterminous, and include the hamlets of Draycott, Paxford and Aston Magna, the residential development at Northwick and the deserted hamlets of Upton and Upper Ditchford.
In AD 855 King Burgred of Mercia granted a monastery at Blockley to Ealhhun, Bishop of Worcester for the price of 300 solidi.
After the restoration of the English monarchy the estate was restored to the Bishop of Worcester, whose successors held the manor until at least 1781.
The ecclesiastical parish now forms part of the Vale and Cotswold Edge team of Church of England churches, with the Team Vicar remaining responsible for Blockley and its outlying villages of Paxford, Draycott and Aston Magna, as well as the parish of Bourton-on-the-Hill.
Much of the parish was farmed under an open field system until 1772, when an Act of Parliament provided for the enclosure of the remaining common lands.
In May 2008, under a co-operative agreement, the village residents opened a new local not for profit store that is a grocer, newsagent, post office, off-licence and café.
It is mainly found in the meadows above 3,500 meters (11,483 feet) in the Himalayan regions of Nepal, Bhutan, India and Tibet.
However, the fruiting bodies harvested in nature usually contain high amounts of arsenic and other heavy metals so they are potentially toxic and sales have been strictly regulated by the CFDA (China Food and Drug Administration) since 2016.
The hand-collected, intact fungus-caterpillar body is valued by herbalists as medicine, and because of its cost, its use is also a status symbol.
Additional research needs to be carried out in order to understand its morphology and growth habits for conservation and optimum utilization.
The stroma is the upper fungal part and is dark brown or black, but can be a yellow color when fresh, and longer than the caterpillar itself, usually 4–10 cm.
The asci are cylindrical or slightly tapering at both ends, and may be straight or curved, with a capitate and hemispheroid apex, and may be two to four spored.
The fungus is reported from the northern range of Nepal, Bhutan, and also from the northern states of India, apart from northern Yunnan, eastern Qinghai, eastern Tibet, western Sichuan, southwestern Gansu provinces.
The stalk-like dark brown to black fruiting body (or mushroom) grows out of the head of the dead caterpillar and emerges from the soil in alpine meadows by early spring.
The caterpillars, which live underground feeding on roots, are most vulnerable to the fungus after shedding their skin, during late summer.
In late autumn, chemicals on the skin of the caterpillar interact with the fungal spores and release the fungal mycelia, which then infects the caterpillar.
After over-wintering, the fungus ruptures the host body, forming the fruiting body, a sexual sporulating structure (a perithecial stroma) from the larval head that is connected to the sclerotia (dead larva) below ground and grows upward to emerge from the soil to complete the cycle.
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it is regarded as having an excellent balance of yin and yang as it is considered to be composed of both an animal and a vegetable.
In 2004 the value of a kilogram of caterpillars was estimated at about 30,000 to 60,000 Nepali rupees in Nepal, and about Rs 100,000 in India.
A 2012 BBC article indicated that in north Indian villages a single fungus was worth Rs 150 (about £2 or $3), which is more than the daily wage of a manual labourer.
Because of its high value, inter-village conflicts over access to its grassland habitats has become a headache for the local governing bodies and in several cases people were killed.
In November 2011, a court in Nepal convicted 19 villagers over the murder of a group of farmers during a fight over the prized aphrodisiac fungus.
Its value gave it a role in the Nepalese Civil War, as the Nepalese Maoists and government forces fought for control of the lucrative export trade during the June–July harvest season.
By 2002, the 'herb' was valued at R 105,000 ($1,435) per kilogram, allowing the government to charge a royalty of R 20,000 ($280) per kilogram.
While it has been collected for centuries and is still common in such areas, current collection rates are much higher than in historical times.
It was established by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington for service in the Peninsular War, as part of the Anglo-Portuguese Army, and was active for most of the period since, including the First World War and the Second World War and was disbanded soon after.
The division was reformed in 1995 as an administrative division covering Wales and the English regions of West Midlands, East Midlands and East.
The 5th Division during the Peninsular War under the command of General James Leith was present at most of the major engagements including the Battle of Bussaco, the Battle of Sabugal, the Siege of Almeida, the Battle of Badajoz, the Battle of Salamanca, the Battle of Vitoria, the Siege of San Sebastian, the Battle of Nivelle and the Battle of the Nive.
The division was also present during the Waterloo Campaign first seeing action at the Battle of Quatre Bras then at the Battle of Waterloo under the command of Lieutenant General Sir Thomas Picton.
The 5th Division under the command of General Sir Charles Warren joined up with the Natal Field Force shortly after the Battle of Colenso and were a part of the relieving army of the besieged Ladysmith.
He was succeeded by General Arthur Wynne who was later wounded at the Battle of the Tugela Heights and succeeded by Colonel Walter Kitchener.
The 5th Division was a permanently established Regular Army division that was amongst the first to be sent to France as part of the original British Expeditionary Force (BEF) at the outbreak of the First World War.
The 5th Division, as a Regular Army formation (one of the Old Contemptibles) fought in many of the major battles of the Western Front from the Battle of Mons in 1914, the later stages of the Somme offensive, including the first battle using tanks, up to the Battle of the Selle in 1918.
The 13th Brigade was temporarily under the command of 28th Division between 23 February and 7 April 1915, when it was replaced by 84th Brigade from that Division.
The 15th Brigade was temporarily under the command of 28th Division between 3 March and 7 April 1915, when it was replaced by 83rd Brigade from that division.
The 5th Division was unusual among other British divisions in that no battle patches were worn on their tunics or helmets, aside from those briefly worn by New Army battalions bringing them from their former division.
Upon the outbreak of the Second World War, in September 1939, the 5th Infantry Division was a Regular Army formation, commanded by Major-General Harold Franklyn, who had been in command since 1938.
Both of its infantry brigades (the 13th and 15th) went to France to join the rest of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) in early October 1939 as independent infantry brigades, but the divisional Headquarters crossed to France on 19 December 1939, coming under the command of Lieutenant-General Alan Brooke's II Corps from 23 December.
By the new year of 1940 the division was reformed with three infantry brigades –the 13th, 15th and 17th, all commanded by men who would achieve high rank in the next few years.
The 13th was commanded by Brigadier Miles Dempsey, the 15th by Brigadier Horatio Berney-Ficklin, and the 17th by Brigadier Montagu Stopford.
Throughout the early months of 1940 the division saw some changing of units, as the Territorial Army (TA) divisions began to arrive in France from the United Kingdom.
This was part of official BEF policy, based on experience from the Great War, and was intended to strengthen the inexperienced TA formations with experienced Regulars, although at the same time diluting the strength of the Regular divisions with inexperienced TA units.
In mid-April the 15th Brigade was sent to Norway and fought, very briefly, in the unsuccessful Norwegian Campaign, evacuating from there and arriving in the United Kingdom in early May, but did not rejoin the 5th Division until 3 July 1940.
The division, having sustained very heavy losses, remained in the United Kingdom for the next 21 months, with most of 1940 being spent in Scotland under Scottish Command, reforming in numbers and being brought up to strength with large numbers of conscripts, alongside training in anti-invasion duties and preparing for Operation Sea Lion, the German invasion of the United Kingdom which never arrived.
In late March 1941 the division, now under the command of Major-General Horatio Berney-Ficklin, who had taken over in July 1940 (and previously commanded the 15th Brigade), was sent to Northern Ireland, coming under command of Lieutenant-General James Marshall-Cornwall's III Corps, under overall control of British Troops Northern Ireland, and, as in Scotland, continued training to repel a German invasion there (see Operation Green).
In April 1942 the 13th and 17th Infantry Brigades and a portion of the divisional troops were detached to 'Force 121' for Operation Ironclad, the invasion of Vichy French held Madagascar.
It was sent from the United Kingdom to India for three months and then to Middle East Command, where it spent time under the command of British III Corps, now under Lieutenant-General Desmond Anderson, as part of the British Tenth Army, under overall control of Persia and Iraq Command, where it trained in mountain warfare.
In mid-February 1943 the division was sent to Syria, remaining there for the next four months, and later Egypt, where it came under the command of British XIII Corps, commanded by Lieutenant-General Miles Dempsey (who earlier had commanded the 13th Brigade in France and Belgium in 1940), which was part of the British Eighth Army, under General Sir Bernard Montgomery.
The division, serving again alongside the 50th Division, began training in amphibious operations in preparation for Operation Husky, the Allied invasion of Sicily.
The 5th Division saw action during the invasion of Sicily where, towards the end of the campaign, in early August, the divisional commander, Major-General Berney-Ficklin, who had commanded the division since July 1940, was replaced by Major-General Gerard Bucknall.
The division was pulled out of the line and absorbed replacements, and invaded the Italian mainland in Operation Baytown on 3 September (four years since Britain's entry into the war), still as part of XIII Corps of the Eighth Army, but now serving alongside the 1st Canadian Infantry Division, and advanced up the spine of Italy.
Later in the year, the division fought in the Moro River Campaign, although sustaining relatively light casualties in comparison to the other Allied formations involved.
Progress for the Allied Armies in Italy (AAI), commanded by General Sir Harold Alexander, towards the end of 1943 had slowed down considerably, due mainly to a combination of worsening weather, stiffening German resistance and the Winter Line (also known as the Gustav Line, a series of formidable defences the Germans had created).
Therefore, in early January 1944 the division was transferred from the Eighth Army, now under Lieutenant-General Sir Oliver Leese, to the western end of Italy to join Lieutenant-General Richard McCreery's British X Corps.
X Corps, stationed along the Garigliano river, was part of Lieutenant General Mark W. Clark's U.S. Fifth Army at the time.
The division, now commanded by Major-General Philip Gregson-Ellis and with the veteran 201st Guards Brigade under command, crossed the Garigliano river as part of the First Battle of Monte Cassino.
In March 1944 the division, after holding its positions that it gained during First Cassino, was transferred again, this time to the Anzio bridgehead (or, more appropriately, beachhead) where they came under command of Major General Lucian Truscott's U.S. VI Corps and relieved the battered 56th Division, which was returning to the Middle East.
Although by this time the major battles for the Anzio beachhead were over, the division was involved in minor skirmishing and operating in conditions more reminiscent of the trench warfare of the First World War.
In May the division participated in Operation Diadem and the breakout from Anzio, which led to the capture of the Italian capital of Rome in early June.
During the fighting, Sergeant Maurice Rogers of the 2nd Battalion, Wiltshire Regiment was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross, the first and only to be awarded to the 5th Division during the Second World War.
Soon afterwards the division, having sustained just under 3,000 casualties since its arrival at Anzio three months before, was then withdrawn to Palestine, arriving there in mid-July.
The division, now commanded by the relatively young Major-General Richard Hull, who, at the age of 37, was the youngest division commander in the British Army (and later destined to become Chief of the General Staff), returned to Italy in early 1945 where they relieved the British 1st Infantry Division, which had fought alongside the Globetrotters at Anzio.
Soon afterwards, however, the division was transferred to the Western Front in March 1945 to participate in the final stages of the North West Europe Campaign.
Arriving in Belgium just after the British crossing of the Rhine, the division came under command of VIII Corps, under Lieutenant-General Evelyn Barker, part of the British Second Army, under Lieutenant-General Miles Dempsey, and took part in the Western Allied invasion of Germany, closely supported by elements of the 6th Guards Armoured Brigade.
The 5th Division was disbanded in 1946 and was reformed briefly from the 7th Armoured Division in Germany on 16 April 1958, with the 7th and 20th Armoured brigades but was then redesignated the 1st Armoured Division on 30 June 1960.
It was again reformed in the United Kingdom on 1 April 1968, under Army Strategic Command, incorporating the 2nd, 8th, and 39th brigades, but disbanded in 1970.
The 5th Division was reformed as an administrative division – effectively a military district – from North West, Wales, and Western Districts on 1 April 1995.
The division was in charge of the majority of British Army units in Wales, the English West Midlands and South West England.
The 5th Division took command of Headquarters Salisbury Plain Area and 43rd (Wessex) Brigade from 3rd Division on 1 April 1999, and 107 (Ulster) Brigade also fell under its responsibility.
The Manchester Evening News (sometimes abbreviated to the MEN) is a regional daily newspaper covering Greater Manchester in North West England.
Since adopting a 'digital-first' strategy in 2014, the publication has experienced huge online growth, while its average print daily circulation for the first half of 2018 was 36,715.
In 1936, John Russell Scott formed the Scott Trust in order to protect the company from death duties, following the deaths of his father and younger brother Ted in close succession.
The sale was valued at £44.8m – £7.4m in cash and the remainder from GMG extricating itself from a £37.4m decade-long contract with Trinity Mirror to print its regional titles.
In December 2009, the newspaper announced that as of January 2010 the paper would no longer be handed out free Monday to Wednesday in the city centre and other selected locations.
Instead they would be handed out free as previously on Thursdays and Fridays, but would regain their paid-for status in these locations at all other times.
Campion was born in Wellington, New Zealand, the second daughter of Edith Campion (née Beverley Georgette Hannah), an actress, writer, and heiress, and Richard M. Campion, a teacher, and theater and opera director.
Along with Jane's sister, Anna, a year and a half her senior, and brother, Michael, seven years her junior, Campion grew up in the world of New Zealand theater.
But Jane initially rejected the idea of a career in the dramatic arts, graduating instead with a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from Victoria University of Wellington in 1975.
She went on to earn a Graduate Diploma in Visual Arts (Painting) from the Sydney College of the Arts at the University of Sydney in 1981.
Campion was shaped in part by her art school education — and has, even in her mature career, cited painter Frida Kahlo and sculptor Joseph Beuys as influences on her work.
In 1981, Campion began studying at the Australian Film, Television and Radio School, where she made several more short films and graduated in 1984.
The mini-series received near universal acclaim with its lead actress Elisabeth Moss winning numerous awards including a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film and a Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Actress in a Movie/Miniseries as well as a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie nomination.
Campion was appointed a Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the 2016 New Year Honours, for services to film.
Two oil-fired boilers fed steam at and to a pair of double reduction geared steam turbines that in turn drove two propeller shafts, with the machinery rated at , giving a speed of .
A Limbo anti-submarine mortar was fitted aft to provide a short-range anti-submarine capability, while a hangar and helicopter deck allowed a single Westland Wasp helicopter to be operated, for longer range anti-submarine and anti-surface operations.
Activities included taking part in the Beira Patrol, covering the withdrawal of British forces from operations off Aden and acting as guardship for Hong Kong.
A pair of quadruple GWS22 SeaCat launchers were fitted aft while the two Bofors guns were retained but moved forward to abreast the ship's mainmast.
The long-range Type 965 radar was removed, with improved navigation and target indicating radars fitted, and the ADAWS 5 computer aided combat direction system added to direct Ikara operations, while the Type 199 VDS was restored.
She did not take part in the 1982 Falklands War, but was deployed as Persian Gulf guard ship; she later completed a four-month deployment around the Falklands as part of the South Atlantic Protection Force in 1984.
She participated in further deployments that culminated in the highlight of her final year in 1985, when she escorted , which took a number of the Royal Family on a tour of Italy.
Her anchor is now located at the local Royal Canadian Legion Branch (Hunt Street) and bell hangs in the Ajax Town Council Chamber in Ajax, Ontario.
It is endemic to the subtropical Southeastern United States, most commonly along the south Atlantic and Gulf Coastal plains and sand hills.
It is a hardy plant; extremely slow-growing, and long-lived, with some plants, especially in Florida possibly being as old as 500–700 years.
Saw palmetto is a fan palm, with the leaves that have a bare petiole terminating in a rounded fan of about 20 leaflets.
The teeth or spines are easily capable of breaking the skin, and protection should be worn when working around a saw palmetto.
A meta-analysis by the Cochrane Collaboration found that saw palmetto berry extract given therapeutically, even at double and triple doses, did not improve urinary flow or improve the prostate gland size in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
This suggests that the lack of an effect found in the most recent Cochrane review was due to the differences in the saw palmetto extracts used.
Saw palmetto fibers have been found among materials from indigenous people as far north as Wisconsin and New York, strongly suggesting this material was widely traded prior to European contact.
Robert Carl Katter (born 22 May 1945) is an Australian politician who has been a member of the House of Representatives since 1993.
He was elevated to cabinet in 1983, under Joh Bjelke-Petersen, and served as a government minister until the National Party's defeat at the 1989 state election.
Katter left state politics in 1992, and the following year was elected to federal parliament standing in the Division of Kennedy (his father's old seat).
He resigned from the National Party in the lead-up to the 2001 federal election, and has since been re-elected four more times as an independent and twice for his own party.
Katter was born in Cloncurry, Queensland, the son of Robert Cummin Katter, the member for Kennedy from 1966 to 1990, and his wife, Mabel.
His father, Bob Katter Sr., was an Australian politician who served in the House of Representatives from 1966 to 1990, representing the National Party (originally named the Country Party).
Katter's father was a member of the Australian Labor Party until 1957, when he left during the Labor split of that year.
The younger Katter was a Country Party member of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland from 1974 to 1992, representing Flinders in north Queensland.
He was Minister for Northern Development and Aboriginal and Islander Affairs from 1983 to 1987, Minister for Northern Development, Community Services and Ethnic Affairs from 1987 to 1989, Minister for Community Services and Ethnic Affairs in 1989, Minister for Mines and Energy in 1989, and Minister for Northern and Regional Development for a brief time in 1989 until the Nationals were defeated in that year's election.
While in the Queensland Parliament, Katter junior was a strong supporter of Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen, though he remained in cabinet under Mike Ahern, but ulitimaly resigning from Cabinet along with Russell Cooper.
However, when he transferred to federal politics, he found himself increasingly out of sympathy with the federal Liberal and National parties on economic and social issues.
In 2001, he resigned from the National Party and easily retained his seat as an independent at the general elections of 2001, 2004, 2007 and 2010, each time ending up with a percentage vote in the high sixties after preferences were distributed.
He had gone into the election holding the seat with a majority of 18 percent, making it the second-safest seat in Australia.
However, reportedly due to anger at his decision to back Kevin Rudd (ALP) for Prime Minister following Julia Gillard's (Prime Minister) live cattle (Rudd, within weeks, reopened the live export market), Katter still suffered a primary-vote swing of over 17 points.
In the end, Katter was re-elected on Labor preferences, suffering a two-party swing of 16 points to the Liberal National party.
On 15 August 2017 Katter announced that the Turnbull Government could not take his support for granted in the wake of the 2017 Australian parliamentary eligibility crisis, which ensued over concerns that several MPs held dual citizenship and thus may be constitutionally ineligible to serve in Parliament.
Katter added that if one of the affected MPs, Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, lost his seat, the Coalition could not count on his support for confidence and supply.
In the 2019 election, Katter was returned to his seat of Kennedy with a swing of 2.9% towards him, in spite of an unfavourable redistribution of his electorate.
His views on economic matters echo 1950s Labor policy as he opposes privatisation and economic deregulation and strongly supporting traditional Country Party (collective) statutory marketing.
He has a very sporadic attendance record in parliament, and by the end of 2019 had only attended 42% of votes on the floor of parliament, the lowest of any member of parliament.
An opponent of the tougher gun control laws introduced in the wake of the 1996 massacre in Port Arthur, Tasmania, Katter was accused in 2001 of signing a petition promoted by the Citizens Electoral Council (CEC), an organisation that claims the Port Arthur massacre was a conspiracy.
He has led protests against the importation of bananas, and constantly challenges the supermarket concentration of power with Coles and Woolworths.
In the aftermath of the 2010 hung federal election, Katter offered a range of views on the way forward for government.
Two other former National Party MPs, both independents from rural electorates, Tony Windsor, Rob Oakeshott decided to support an ALP Government.
His response to the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey result went viral, as Katter found the issue of crocodiles killing people in North Queensland more pressing.
In December 2017, Katter was one of only four members of the House of Representatives to oppose the Marriage Amendment (Definition and Religious Freedoms) Bill 2017 legalising same-sex marriage in Australia.
In 2018, Katter secured market gardens for First Australian (Aboriginal) communities and secured budgeted money for three inland dam-irrigation schemes in North Queensland.
The Walla Walla River is a tributary of the Columbia River, joining the Columbia just above Wallula Gap in southeastern Washington in the United States.
Mill Creek, which flows through the city of Walla Walla, joins the Walla Walla River at the Whitman Mission west of the city of Walla Walla.
The Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806) was the first United States overland expedition to the Pacific coast and back—the return expedition stopped at the mouth of the Walla Walla and stayed with the Walla Walla tribe for a portion of the journey, proceeding from there overland to the Snake River.
British explorer David Thompson was the first European to navigate the entire length of the Columbia River, to the Pacific Ocean, in 1811.
Fort Nez Percés (later known as Fort Walla Walla) was a fortified fur trading post on the Columbia River on the territory of modern-day Wallula, Washington.
It was in operation from 1818 until 1857 on the eastern shore of the Columbia River, immediately north of the mouth of the Walla Walla River.
The fort was abandoned in 1857 when the Hudson's Bay Company gave up its Columbia District business in the Oregon Territory.
Work done by Oregon and Washington State governments, federal and state environmental agencies and local watershed councils and groups on the Walla Walla River & the overall catchment area has produced a wide range of studies.
Considerable work has gone into the assessment of water quantity and quality for the purpose of salmon recovery and sustainable irrigation supply.
A highly-connected alluvial groundwater system and its over-abstraction through over-allocated irrigation usage have also acted to influence flows and quality in the Walla Walla River.
The promise of the Walla Walla River lies in its integrated water-management strategy using Managed Aquifer Recharge (Or Shallow Aquifer Recharge) to utilise available non-irrigation season water to replenish groundwater supplies and the over-allocation of groundwater resources by both state governments.
The Walla Walla partnership along with the WWBWC set a national example with this innovative and low-cost alternative to surface storage using dams.
She was a National Party member of the Australian House of Representatives from March 1996 until November 2007, representing the Division of Dawson, Queensland.
Kelly was Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Transport and Regional Services and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Trade between October 2003 and October 2004, at which time she was appointed Minister for Veterans' Affairs.
She gained the additional position of Minister Assisting the Minister for Defence in November 2004, but was demoted to Parliamentary Secretary (Trade) in January 2006.
Kelly served in this position until September 2006, when she was reappointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Transport and Regional Services.
However, as part of the Labor wave that swept through Queensland in that election, Bidgood defeated her on a swing of more than 13 per cent.
Kelly's defeat came as a surprise to most commentators; due to her large majority, there was no hint she was in any danger.
New York Point is a braille-like system of tactile writing for the blind invented by William Bell Wait (1839–1916), a teacher in the New York Institute for the Education of the Blind.
When capitals, hyphens, or apostrophes were used, they sometimes caused legibility problems, and a separate capital sign was never agreed upon.
According to Helen Keller, this caused literacy problems among blind children, and was one of the chief arguments against New York Point and in favor of one of the braille alphabets.
Books written in embossed alphabets like braille are quite bulky, and New York Point's system of two horizontal lines of dots was an advantage over the three lines required for braille; the principle of writing the most common letters with the fewest dots was likewise an advantage of New York Point and American Braille over English Braille.
Around 1916, agreement settled on English Braille standardized to French Braille letter order, chiefly because of the superior punctuation compared with New York Point, the speed of reading braille, the large amount of written material available in English Braille compared with American Braille, and the international accessibility offered by following French alphabetical order.
In the charts below, the first row of NYP are graphic images, and the second row are braille cells turned on their side.
Like braille, there are contractions: single letters in NYP that correspond to sequences of letter in print, and sequences in NYP as well when capitalized.
The note is preceded by its octave, which is written as the number plus an upper dot: 5th 8va, 2nd 8va, etc.
Jacqueline Marie Kelly (born 18 February 1964), former Australian politician, was a Liberal member of the Australian House of Representatives from March 1996 until November 2007, representing the Division of Lindsay, New South Wales.
She obtained a law degree from the University of Queensland, where she also attained a 'full blue' for rowing, and later represented Australia in the sport.
From 1989-1996 she was a Legal Officer (Squadron Leader) with the Royal Australian Air Force and in June 1995 she was awarded the Helsham prize for her services to the RAAF Legal Category.
In 1996, Jacqueline 'Jackie' Marie Kelly was elected to the seat of Lindsay, based around the suburb of Penrith on the western fringe of Sydney.
March 1996: The first time Jackie was elected was the general election on 2 March 1996, but she was later disqualified because of her RAAF employment (Subsection (iv) disqualifies those who hold an office of profit under the Crown or receive a Commonwealth pension ‘payable during the pleasure of the Crown’), and not having taken steps to renounce her New Zealand citizenship.
Any person who - (1) Is under any acknowledgement of allegiance, obedience, or adherence to a foreign power, or is a subject or a citizen or entitled to the rights or privileges of a subject or citizen of a foreign power.
October 1996: After ensuring a full resignation from the RAAF before submitting a nomination for election, and a complete citizenship renunciation, Jackie was re-elected at a by-election on 19 October 1996 with an increased majority.
While the first sitting Australian federal parliamentarian to give birth to a child was Ros Kelly in 1983, in 2000 Jackie Kelly became the first serving Australian Federal Minister to give birth to a child (a daughter named Dominique).
When Jackie was the Minister Assisting the Prime Minister (for the Office of the Status of Women), Jackie was instrumental in the development and implementation of the 'Baby Bonus' scheme, introduced in 2002, through to 2007.
In May 2007 Kelly announced her intention to retire from federal politics at the 2007 election to be held later that year.
In February 2014, Kelly unsuccessfully contested the Liberal pre-selection for the seat of Penrith in the NSW parliament, held by Liberal Stuart Ayres.
Kelly then contested Penrith at the 2015 New South Wales election as an independent but was unsuccessful against Liberal incumbent Ayres.
She was in line for selection for the Australian rowing team to the Seoul Olympics in 1988 before Rowing Australia opted not to send a women’s team to Seoul.
In 1986, Kelly represented Australia in the under 23s rowing, Scull, Double scull, as well as the Nationals and she has competed in the 1994 World Masters rowing in Brisbane (2 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze), the 1997 Australian Masters Rowing Championships in Canberra (1 gold, 1 bronze) and the 1997 World Masters Rowing Championships in Adelaide (2 gold).
On 21 November 2007, three days before the federal election, an anonymous member of the Liberal Party contacted the assistant secretary of the ALP, Luke Foley, with information that a flyer linking Foley's party with an fictional Islamic organisation was to be distributed in letterboxes throughout the suburb of St Marys by Liberal members.
Kelly's husband Gary Clark was caught with four other people in the electorate of Lindsay about to letter-box some fake pamphlets purporting to be from an Islamic group (which did not exist), and thanking the Labor Party for supporting Muslim terrorists.
Two Liberal Party members (including Jeff Egan, and the husband of the Liberal candidate for Lindsay Greg Chijoff) were forced to resign from the party.
The British Empire Economic Conference (also known as the Imperial Economic Conference or Ottawa Conference) was a 1932 conference of British colonies and the autonomous dominions held to discuss the Great Depression.
The meeting also worked to establish a zone of limited tariffs within the British Empire, but with high tariffs with the rest of the world.
This abandonment of open free trade led to a split in the British National Government coalition: the Official Liberals under Herbert Samuel left the Government, but the National Liberals under Sir John Simon remained.
The conference was especially notable for its adoption of Keynesian ideas such as lowering interest rates, increasing the money supply, and expanding government spending.
It was the last Imperial Conference that any Irish government participated in, and also the last that Newfoundland attended as an independent Dominion.
At first all boats were built of plywood, but since 1998 fibreglass, and fibreglass variants have been used, and now over half of new boats are of fibreglass or composite (fibreglass and wood) construction.
The market's history dates to the founding of the capital city of Shahjahanabad when Emperor Shah Jahan established the Red Fort on the banks of the Yamuna River besides his new capital.
The original Chandni Chowk, half-moon-shaped square, itself was located in front of Municipal Townhall and its reflection use to shine in the moonlit water pool located in front of it.
A shallow water channel was built from Yamuna, which ran through the middle of the straight road currently known as the Chandani Chowk Bazaar, with road and shops on either side of the channel.
Chandni Chowk, or the Moonlight Square, and its three Bazaar were designed and established by Princess Jahanara Begum, Shah Jahan’s favourite daughter, in 1650 CE.
The bazaar shaped as a square was given elegance by the presence of a pool in the centre of the complex.
Now the whole straight road which runs through the middle of the walled city, from the Lahori Gate of the Red Fort to Fatehpuri Masjid is called Chandani Chowk.
Chandni Chowk's specialty is its variety and authenticity: food, delicacies and sweets of more than 1,000 kinds, sarees with chikan and zari.
At its Southern end (and close to the Jama Masjid, Delhi) is Bazaar Guliyan where about a hundred shops selling metallic and wooden statues, sculptures, bells, handicrafts are located, Nai Sarak is the wholesale market for stationery, books, paper and decorative materials.
Located at the western end of Chandni Chowk, Khari Baoli is a street entirely dedicated to all kinds of spices, dried fruits, nuts, herbs, grains, lentils, pickles and preserves/murabbas.
In 2018, the Bollywood movie Rajma Chawal starring Amyra Dastur, Rishi Kapoor, Aparshakti Khurana, Raja Hasan, Mukesh Chhabra, Nirmal Rishi, Harish Khanna had its extensive section of the film shot in Lachu Ram Ki Haveli.
Shahjahanabad Redevelopment Corporation [29], under the auspices of the Government of the NCT of Delhi, is the agency carrying out this task.
The redevelopment plan was supposed to have been completed before the 2010 Commonwealth Games but has been delayed for various reasons.
As a part of the redevelopment, a multilevel parking cum commercial complex is coming up at Gandhi Maidan in Chandni Chowk.
This multilevel parking cum commercial complex would be an eight-storeyed building with three basements covering 18,524 square meter area at a cost of Rs 1,000 crore on a PPP model with a Leading Real estate developer Omaxe .the project that has a capacity to accommodate over 2,300 cars.
He is currently wanted by the United States government for his alleged involvement in the June 14, 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847.
On October 10, 2001, Izz-Al-Din, along with two other alleged participants in the hijacking, was placed on the initial list of the FBI's top 22 Most Wanted Terrorists, which was released to the public by President George W. Bush.
Minimal music (also called minimalism) is a form of art music or other compositional practice that employs limited or minimal musical materials.
Prominent features of the approach may include repetitive patterns, rhythmic pulses, steady drones, consonant harmony, and reiteration of musical phrases or smaller units.
It is marked by a non-narrative, non-teleological, and non-representational approach, and call attention to the activity of listening by focusing on the internal processes of the music.
In the Western art music tradition, the American composers La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and Philip Glass are credited with being among the first to develop compositional techniques that exploit a minimal approach.
The movement originally involved dozens of composers, although only five (Young, Riley, Reich, Glass, and later John Adams) emerged to become publicly associated with American minimal music.
In Europe, the music of Louis Andriessen, Karel Goeyvaerts, Michael Nyman, Howard Skempton, Gavin Bryars, Steve Martland, Henryk Górecki, Arvo Pärt and John Tavener exhibits minimalist traits.
Steve Reich has suggested that it is attributable to Michael Nyman, an assertion that two scholars, Jonathan Bernard, and Dan Warburton, have also made in writing.
It includes, by definition, any music that works with limited or minimal materials: pieces that use only a few notes, pieces that use only a few words of text, or pieces written for very limited instruments, such as antique cymbals, bicycle wheels, or whiskey glasses.
It includes pieces that permit all possible pitches, as long as they fall between C and D. It includes pieces that slow the tempo down to two or three notes per minute.
Others who have been associated with this compositional approach include Michael Nyman, Howard Skempton, John White, Dave Smith and Michael Parsons.
Among African-American composers, the minimalist aesthetic was embraced by figures such as jazz musician John Lewis and multidisciplinary artist Julius Eastman.
In Glass's case, these ensembles comprise organs, winds—particularly saxophones—and vocalists, while Reich's works have more emphasis on mallet and percussion instruments.
Most of Adams's works are written for more traditional European classical music instrumentation, including full orchestra, string quartet, and solo piano.
The music of Reich and Glass drew early sponsorship from art galleries and museums, presented in conjunction with visual-art minimalists like Robert Morris (in Glass's case), and Richard Serra, Bruce Nauman, and the filmmaker Michael Snow (as performers, in Reich's case).
The music of Moondog of the 1940s and 1950s, which was based on counterpoint developing statically over steady pulses in often unusual time signatures influenced both Philip Glass and Steve Reich.
A work for solo piano that lasted around six hours, it demonstrated many features that would come to be associated with minimalism, such as diatonic tonality, phrase repetition, additive process, and duration.
Glass was influenced by Ravi Shankar and Indian music from the time he was assigned a film score transcription of music by Ravi Shankar into western notation.
Its harmonic sonorities are distinctively simple, usually diatonic, often consist of familiar triads and seventh chords, and are presented in a slow harmonic rhythm.
Johnson disagrees with Rodda, however, in finding that minimal music's most distinctive feature is the complete absence of extended melodic lines.
Instead, there are only brief melodic segments, thrusting the organization, combination, and individual characteristics of short, repetitive rhythmic patterns into the foreground.
Within any musical segment, there may be some sense of direction, but frequently the segments fail to lead to or imply one another.
All that junk mail I get every single day repeats; when I look at television I see the same advertisement, and I try to follow the movie that’s being shown, but I’m being told about cat food every five minutes.
Fink notes that Carter's general loathing of the music is representative of a form of musical snobbery that dismisses repetition more generally.
Kyle Gann, himself a minimalist composer, has argued that minimalism represented a predictable return to simplicity after the development of an earlier style had run its course to extreme and unsurpassable complexity.
Parallels include the advent of the simple Baroque continuo style following elaborate Renaissance polyphony and the simple early classical symphony following Bach's monumental advances in Baroque counterpoint.
Michael Nyman has pointed out that much of the charm of Steve Reich's early music had to do with perceptual phenomena that were not actually played, but resulted from subtleties in the phase-shifting process.
In Gann's further analysis, during the 1980s minimalism evolved into less strict, more complex styles such as postminimalism and totalism, breaking out of the strongly framed repetition and stasis of early minimalism, and enriching it with a confluence of other rhythmic and structural influences.
The experimental rock act The Velvet Underground had a connection with the New York down-town scene from which minimal music emerged, rooted in the close working relationship of John Cale and La Monte Young, the latter influencing Cale's work with the band.
The development of specific experimental rock genres such as krautrock, space rock (from the 1980s), noise rock, and post-rock was influenced by minimal music.
The Senior Bowl is a post-season college football all-star game played each January in Mobile, Alabama, which showcases the best NFL Draft prospects of those players who have completed their college eligibility.
Produced by the non-profit Mobile Arts & Sports Association, the game is also a charitable fund-raiser benefiting various local and regional organizations with over US$5.9 million in donations over its history.
In recent years, the coaching staffs have come from teams who finished near the bottom of the league standings, but whose coaches were not subsequently terminated.
Organizers stipulate a number of specific rules for the game, some of which are intended to reduce the chance of injury (e.g.
The week-long practice that precedes the game is attended by key NFL personnel (including coaches, general managers and scouts), who oversee the players as possible prospects for pro football.
At one point the Senior Bowl was the first chance its participants had to openly receive pay for participation in an athletic event.
This was one reason that participation was limited to seniors whose eligibility for further participation in collegiate football had expired, and the game was also their first exposure to the slightly different professional rules.
The significance of all of this has waned in recent years as there has been some lessening of the former strict separation of professional and amateur athletes.
Athletes sometimes decline invitations to participate in the Senior Bowl, opting instead to prepare for the NFL scouting combine or their colleges' pro day.
Dan Lynch of Washington State was the first (and to date only) player to appear in two Senior Bowls (1984 and 1985), having been granted an extra year of eligibility after the 1984 game.
The game has consistently been played on a Saturday in January, with the exception of 1976, when it was held on a Sunday.
The scheduling date within January has varied – the earliest playing has been January 3 (1953 and 1959), while the latest playing has been January 30 (2010 and 2016).
Since 1967, it has been traditionally set for the week before the NFL's Super Bowl (which itself is now played in February).
It is usually scheduled as the final game of the college football season, although for a period during the 1980s and 1990s, it was the next-to-the-last game, followed a week later by either the Hula Bowl or the Gridiron Classic.
From 2007 through 2011, and also in 2013, the Senior Bowl was again the penultimate game, followed by the Texas vs.
The single-season record for number of players sent to the Senior Bowl from one school is 10 by Alabama in 1987, followed by nine sent by Auburn in 1988 and Southern California in 2008.
From 1991 to 1993, the teams were designated AFC and NFC, to distinguish where their coaching staffs were from and to stress the professional nature of the game.
This was confusing to some, as the game occurred well before players had been selected by teams in the NFL draft.
Established in 1987, the Senior Bowl Hall of Fame seeks to pay tribute to the many outstanding former Senior Bowl players who have made lasting contributions to the game of football.
The Senior Bowl Hall of Fame also allows enshrinement to former coaches, administrators and other individuals whose efforts helped the Senior Bowl.
More recently, chemical libraries of synthetic small molecules, natural products or extracts were screened in intact cells or whole organisms to identify substances that had a desirable therapeutic effect in a process known as classical pharmacology.
After sequencing of the human genome allowed rapid cloning and synthesis of large quantities of purified proteins, it has become common practice to use high throughput screening of large compounds libraries against isolated biological targets which are hypothesized to be disease-modifying in a process known as reverse pharmacology.
Modern drug discovery involves the identification of screening hits, medicinal chemistry and optimization of those hits to increase the affinity, selectivity (to reduce the potential of side effects), efficacy/potency, metabolic stability (to increase the half-life), and oral bioavailability.
Once a compound that fulfills all of these requirements has been identified, the process of drug development can continue, and, if successful, clinical trials are developed.
Modern drug discovery is thus usually a capital-intensive process that involves large investments by pharmaceutical industry corporations as well as national governments (who provide grants and loan guarantees).
In the 21st century, basic discovery research is funded primarily by governments and by philanthropic organizations, while late-stage development is funded primarily by pharmaceutical companies or venture capitalists.
To be allowed to come to market, drugs must undergo several successful phases of clinical trials, and pass through a new drug approval process, called the New Drug Application in the United States.
Discovering drugs that may be a commercial success, or a public health success, involves a complex interaction between investors, industry, academia, patent laws, regulatory exclusivity, marketing and the need to balance secrecy with communication.
Meanwhile, for disorders whose rarity means that no large commercial success or public health effect can be expected, the orphan drug funding process ensures that people who experience those disorders can have some hope of pharmacotherapeutic advances.
The idea that the effect of a drug in the human body is mediated by specific interactions of the drug molecule with biological macromolecules, (proteins or nucleic acids in most cases) led scientists to the conclusion that individual chemicals are required for the biological activity of the drug.
This made for the beginning of the modern era in pharmacology, as pure chemicals, instead of crude extracts of medicinal plants, became the standard drugs.
Examples of drug compounds isolated from crude preparations are morphine, the active agent in opium, and digoxin, a heart stimulant originating from Digitalis lanata.
Later, small molecules were synthesized to specifically target a known physiological/pathological pathway, avoiding the mass screening of banks of stored compounds.
This led to great success, such as the work of Gertrude Elion and George H. Hitchings on purine metabolism, the work of James Black on beta blockers and cimetidine, and the discovery of statins by Akira Endo.
Another champion of the approach of developing chemical analogues of known active substances was Sir David Jack at Allen and Hanbury's, later Glaxo, who pioneered the first inhaled selective beta2-adrenergic agonist for asthma, the first inhaled steroid for asthma, ranitidine as a successor to cimetidine, and supported the development of the triptans.
Gertrude Elion, working mostly with a group of fewer than 50 people on purine analogues, contributed to the discovery of the first anti-viral; the first immunosuppressant (azathioprine) that allowed human organ transplantation; the first drug to induce remission of childhood leukemia; pivotal anti-cancer treatments; an anti-malarial; an anti-bacterial; and a treatment for gout.
Cloning of human proteins made possible the screening of large libraries of compounds against specific targets thought to be linked to specific diseases.
This does not imply that the mechanism of action of drugs that are thought to act through a particular established target is fully understood.
The process of finding a new drug against a chosen target for a particular disease usually involves high-throughput screening (HTS), wherein large libraries of chemicals are tested for their ability to modify the target.
For example, if the target is a novel GPCR, compounds will be screened for their ability to inhibit or stimulate that receptor (see antagonist and agonist): if the target is a protein kinase, the chemicals will be tested for their ability to inhibit that kinase.
Another important function of HTS is to show how selective the compounds are for the chosen target, as one wants to find a molecule which will interfere with only the chosen target, but not other, related targets.
Cross-screening is important, because the more unrelated targets a compound hits, the more likely that off-target toxicity will occur with that compound once it reaches the clinic.
It is often observed that several compounds are found to have some degree of activity, and if these compounds share common chemical features, one or more pharmacophores can then be developed.
This process will require several iterative screening runs, during which, it is hoped, the properties of the new molecular entities will improve, and allow the favoured compounds to go forward to in vitro and in vivo testing for activity in the disease model of choice.
Amongst the physicochemical properties associated with drug absorption include ionization (pKa), and solubility; permeability can be determined by PAMPA and Caco-2.
PAMPA is attractive as an early screen due to the low consumption of drug and the low cost compared to tests such as Caco-2, gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and Blood–brain barrier (BBB) with which there is a high correlation.
A range of parameters can be used to assess the quality of a compound, or a series of compounds, as proposed in the Lipinski's Rule of Five.
Such parameters include calculated properties such as cLogP to estimate lipophilicity, molecular weight, polar surface area and measured properties, such as potency, in-vitro measurement of enzymatic clearance etc.
For example, virtual screening and computer-aided drug design are often used to identify new chemical moieties that may interact with a target protein.
Molecular modelling and molecular dynamics simulations can be used as a guide to improve the potency and properties of new drug leads.
There is also a paradigm shift in the drug discovery community to shift away from HTS, which is expensive and may only cover limited chemical space, to the screening of smaller libraries (maximum a few thousand compounds).
The ligands in these approaches are usually much smaller, and they bind to the target protein with weaker binding affinity than hits that are identified from HTS.
The advantages of these approaches are that they allow more efficient screening and the compound library, although small, typically covers a large chemical space when compared to HTS.
A variety of models have been used including yeast, zebrafish, worms, immortalized cell lines, primary cell lines, patient-derived cell lines and whole animal models.
These screens are designed to find compounds which reverse a disease phenotype such as death, protein aggregation, mutant protein expression, or cell proliferation as examples in a more holistic cell model or organism.
In many cases, the exact mechanism of action of hits from these screens is unknown and may require extensive target deconvolution experiments to ascertain.
Once a lead compound series has been established with sufficient target potency and selectivity and favourable drug-like properties, one or two compounds will then be proposed for drug development.
Traditionally, many drugs and other chemicals with biological activity have been discovered by studying chemicals that organisms create to affect the activity of other organisms for survival.
Despite the rise of combinatorial chemistry as an integral part of lead discovery process, natural products still play a major role as starting material for drug discovery.
A 2007 report found that of the 974 small molecule new chemical entities developed between 1981 and 2006, 63% were natural derived or semisynthetic derivatives of natural products.
This has resulted in a pool of information about the potential of plant species as important sources of starting materials for drug discovery.
Identifying new drugs and getting them approved for market has proved to be a stringent process due to regulations set by national drug regulatory agencies.
They induce apoptosis and protein cascade via proteinase inhibitor, have defense functions, and regulate plant responses to different biotic and abiotic stresses.
It is suspected that interact with proteoglycans (PG) and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) polysaccharides, which are essential extracellular matrix (ECM) components to help remodel the ECM.
The discovery of JADs on skin repair has introduced newfound interest in the effects of these plant hormones in therapeutic medicinal application.
One of the most common drugs derived from salicylates is aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, with anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic properties.
Arabinose nucleosides discovered from marine invertebrates in 1950s, demonstrated for the first time that sugar moieties other than ribose and deoxyribose can yield bioactive nucleoside structures.
As above mentioned, combinatorial chemistry was a key technology enabling the efficient generation of large screening libraries for the needs of high-throughput screening.
However, now, after two decades of combinatorial chemistry, it has been pointed out that despite the increased efficiency in chemical synthesis, no increase in lead or drug candidates has been reached.
The chemoinformatics concept chemical diversity, depicted as distribution of compounds in the chemical space based on their physicochemical characteristics, is often used to describe the difference between the combinatorial chemistry libraries and natural products.
The synthetic, combinatorial library compounds seem to cover only a limited and quite uniform chemical space, whereas existing drugs and particularly natural products, exhibit much greater chemical diversity, distributing more evenly to the chemical space.
The most prominent differences between natural products and compounds in combinatorial chemistry libraries is the number of chiral centers (much higher in natural compounds), structure rigidity (higher in natural compounds) and number of aromatic moieties (higher in combinatorial chemistry libraries).
Other chemical differences between these two groups include the nature of heteroatoms (O and N enriched in natural products, and S and halogen atoms more often present in synthetic compounds), as well as level of non-aromatic unsaturation (higher in natural products).
As both structure rigidity and chirality are well-established factors in medicinal chemistry known to enhance compounds specificity and efficacy as a drug, it has been suggested that natural products compare favourably to today's combinatorial chemistry libraries as potential lead molecules.
A collection of plant, animal and microbial samples from rich ecosystems can potentially give rise to novel biological activities worth exploiting in the drug development process.
One example of successful use of this strategy is the screening for antitumor agents by the National Cancer Institute, which started in the 1960s.
Paclitaxel showed anti-tumour activity by a previously undescribed mechanism (stabilization of microtubules) and is now approved for clinical use for the treatment of lung, breast, and ovarian cancer, as well as for Kaposi's sarcoma.
Early in the 21st century, Cabazitaxel (made by Sanofi, a French firm), another relative of taxol has been shown effective against prostate cancer, also because it works by preventing the formation of microtubules, which pull the chromosomes apart in dividing cells (such as cancer cells).
The second main approach involves ethnobotany, the study of the general use of plants in society, and ethnopharmacology, an area inside ethnobotany, which is focused specifically on medicinal uses.
The elucidation of the chemical structure is critical to avoid the re-discovery of a chemical agent that is already known for its structure and chemical activity.
Chemical compounds exist in nature as mixtures, so the combination of liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is often used to separate the individual chemicals.
Databases of mass spectras for known compounds are available, and can be used to assign a structure to an unknown mass spectrum.
When a drug is developed with evidence throughout its history of research to show it is safe and effective for the intended use in the United States, the company can file an application – the New Drug Application (NDA) – to have the drug commercialized and available for clinical application.
NDA status enables the FDA to examine all submitted data on the drug to reach a decision on whether to approve or not approve the drug candidate based on its safety, specificity of effect, and efficacy of doses.
The King Chulalongkorn Memorial Building is a Thai pavilion in Utanede, Sweden (part of the Ragunda Municipality) built to commemorate the 1897 visit of King Chulalongkorn of Thailand to the town.
The construction of the building started in August 1997 and it was inaugurated on July 19, 1998, at the 101 anniversary of King Chulalongkorn's visit.
The building is a typical Thai pavilion with a surface of ten by ten meters and a height of 28 meters.
The pavilion is adorned with gold leaf ornamentation with a value of three million Swedish kronor or 14 million Thai baht.
In mathematical logic, stratification is any consistent assignment of numbers to predicate symbols guaranteeing that a unique formal interpretation of a logical theory exists.
This is not a useful notion when unrestricted; but when the various strata are defined by some recognisable set of conditions (for example being locally closed), and fit together manageably, this idea is often applied in geometry.
It was determined that U-boats were more valuable to the war effort, and so work on new battleships was slowed and ultimately stopped altogether.
This was too late for either ship to take part in the Battle of Jutland on 31 May and 1 June 1916.
Design work on the class began as early as 1910, with great consideration given to the armament of the new vessels.
It had become clear that other navies were moving to guns larger than , and so the next German battleship would also have to incorporate larger guns.
In August that year, the design staff prepared studies for ships armed with , , and guns; the 40 cm caliber was set as the maximum, since it was (incorrectly) assumed that British wire-wound guns larger than that could not be built.
During a meeting the following month, the preferred designs were a ship armed with ten 35 cm guns in five turrets or eight 40 cm guns in four turrets.
The Weapons Department advocated the 35 cm gun ship, pointing out that it would have a 25% greater chance of hitting its target.
Tirpitz inquired about a mixed battery of twin and triple turrets, but after examining the gun turrets of the Austro-Hungarian dreadnoughts of the , it was determined that the triple gun turrets still had too many problems.
Among these deficiencies were increased weight, reduced ammunition supply and rate of fire, and loss of fighting capability if one of the turrets was disabled.
Design studies suggested that the 35 cm ship would displace around and cost around 59.7 million marks, while the 40 cm proposal would cost approximately 60 million marks and displace , but both of these ships were deemed to be too expensive.
The Construction Department proposed a ship armed with eight 38 cm guns, which reduced the cost to 57.5 million marks per vessel.
This design was adopted as the basis for the next class of battleship on 26 September, and the decision to adopt the 38 cm gun was formally taken on 6 January 1912.
Work continued on the design into 1912, and included further developing the armor layout that had been adopted in the previous .
Since the development of diesel engines was proving to be problematic, the design staff adopted traditional steam turbines for the ships, though it was hoped that by the time the third member of the class was ready to begin construction, reliable diesel engines would be available.
The Fourth Naval Law secured funding for three new dreadnoughts, two light cruisers, and an increase of an additional 15,000 officers and men in the ranks of the Navy for 1912.
The hull was divided into 17 watertight compartments, and included a double bottom that ran for 88 percent of the length of the hull.
The ships suffered slight speed loss in heavy seas; with the rudders hard over, the ships lost up to 62% speed and heeled over 7 degrees.
With a metacentric height of , larger than that of their British equivalents, the vessels were stable gun platforms for the confined waters of the North Sea.
The first two ships were designed to carry of coal and of oil, though the use of additional spaces in the hull increased the total bunkerage to of coal and of oil.
At , the range decreased to , at the range fell to , and at the ships could steam for only .
The ships carried eight diesel generators; these supplied each ship with a total of 2,400 kilowatts of electrical power at 220 volts.
The main battery was supplied with a total of 720 shells or 90 rounds per gun; these were shells that were light for guns of their caliber.
The shell allotment was divided between armor piercing and high explosive versions, with 60 of the former and 30 of the latter.
While the German guns were faster to reload, the British inspectors found German anti-flash precautions to be significantly inferior to those that had been adopted by the Royal Navy after 1917, though this was to some degree mitigated by the brass propellant cases, which were far less susceptible to flash detonations than the silk-bagged British cordite.
The ships were also armed with a secondary battery of sixteen SK L/45 quick-firing guns, each mounted in armored casemates in the side of the top deck.
The shells were 45.3 kg (99.8 lb), and were loaded with a 13.7 kg (31.2 lb) RPC/12 propellant charge in a brass cartridge.
The torpedoes had a range of when set at a speed of ; at a reduced speed of , the range increased significantly to .
They had an armor belt that was thick in the central citadel of the ship, where the most important parts of the ship were located.
The main armored deck was thick in most places, though the thickness of the sections that covered the more important areas of the ship was increased to .
The rear conning tower was less well armored; its sides were only 170 mm thick and the roof was covered with of armor plate.
The main battery gun turrets were also heavily armored: the turret sides were 350 mm thick and the roofs were 200 mm thick.
The 15 cm guns had 170 mm thick armor plating on the casemates; the guns themselves had 80 mm thick shields to protect their crews from shell splinters.
A glacis over the diesel was added that was 200 mm thick on the sides, thick on either end, and 80 mm thick on top.
Her belt was also slightly modified, with extending past the forward 200 mm thick section all the way to the stem.
was built by Howaldtswerke in Kiel under construction number 590; she was laid down in 1913, launched on 18 February 1915, and completed on 15 July 1916. was built by the Schichau shipyard in Danzig, under construction number 913.
During the fleet sortie on 18–19 August 1916, I Scouting Group, which was the battlecruiser reconnaissance force of the High Seas Fleet and commanded by Admiral Franz von Hipper, was to bombard the coastal town of Sunderland in an attempt to draw out and destroy Beatty's battlecruisers.
Admiral Scheer and the rest of the High Seas Fleet, with 15 dreadnoughts of its own, would trail behind and provide cover.
By 14:35, Scheer had been warned of the Grand Fleet's approach and, unwilling to engage the whole of the Grand Fleet just 11 weeks after the decidedly close call at Jutland, turned his forces around and retreated to German ports.
In early September 1917, following the German conquest of the Russian port of Riga, the German navy decided to evict the Russian naval forces that still held the Gulf of Riga.
VI Division consisted of the five s. Along with nine light cruisers, 3 torpedo boat flotillas, and dozens of mine warfare ships, the entire force numbered some 300 ships, and were supported by over 100 aircraft and 6 zeppelins.
Opposing the Germans were the old Russian pre-dreadnoughts and , the armored cruisers , , and , 26 destroyers, and several torpedo boats and gunboats.
In late 1917, the High Seas Fleet began to conduct anti-convoy raids with light craft in the North Sea between Britain and Norway.
On 17 October, the German light cruisers and intercepted a convoy of twelve ships escorted by a pair of destroyers and destroyed it; only three transports managed to escape.
This prompted Admiral David Beatty, the Commander in Chief of the Grand Fleet, to detach several battleships and battlecruisers to protect the convoys in the North Sea.
This presented to Admiral Scheer the opportunity for which he had been waiting the entire war: the chance to isolate and eliminate a portion of the Grand Fleet.
By 14:10, the convoy had still not yet been located, and so Scheer turned the High Seas Fleet back towards German waters.
In fact, there was no convoy sailing on 24 April; German naval intelligence had miscalculated the sailing date by one day.
In October 1918, Admiral Hipper, now the commander of the entire High Seas Fleet, planned for a final battle with the Grand Fleet.
Admiral Reinhard Scheer, the Chief of the Naval Staff, approved the plan on 27 October; the operation was set for the 30th.
When the fleet was ordered to assemble in Wilhelmshaven on 29 October, war-weary crews began to desert or openly disobey their orders.
By the evening of the 29th, red flags of revolution flew from the masts of dozens of warships in the harbor.
Following the armistice with Germany in November 1918, the majority of the High Seas Fleet was to be interned in the British naval base at Scapa Flow.
On 21 November 1918, the ships to be interned, under the command of Rear Admiral Ludwig von Reuter, sailed from their base in Germany for the last time.
The fleet rendezvoused with the light cruiser , before meeting a massive flotilla of some 370 British, American, and French warships for the voyage to Scapa Flow.
It became apparent to Reuter that the British intended to seize the German ships on 21 June, which was the deadline for Germany to have signed the peace treaty.
On the morning of 21 June, the British fleet left Scapa Flow to conduct training maneuvers; at 11:20 Reuter transmitted the order to his ships.
The movement claimed a strength of 180,000 in 1934, with 80,000 in Paris; the Parisian police thought the number in Paris closer to 15,000.
The small membership did not however isolate the group: the Solidarité Française found itself integrated in the loose coalition of far right movements such as Action Française and Pierre Taittinger's Jeunesse Patriotes.
The group gained notoriety during the rally and later riot during the 6 February 1934 crisis, in front of the Parliament seat in the Palais Bourbon.
The Compagnons du Devoir, full name Compagnons du Devoir et du Tour de France, is a French organization of craftsmen and artisans dating from the Middle Ages.
The houses vary in size from a small house for five people to a larger one with more than 100 people living together.
The aspirant stays or tours in several towns over the next three to five years, working under compagnons, to learn the trade.
It illustrates his theory in the early 20th century of the rite of passage, with its successive stages of isolation, marginality, and aggregation into the social body.
The organization dates to medieval times, when the Compagnons built the churches and castles of France, and were persecuted by kings and the Catholic Church because they refused to live under the rules of either institution.
As a craftsman's guild, the Compagnonnage was banned by the National Assembly under the Le Chapelier Law of 1791, which was repealed in 1864.
During the German occupation of France during World War II, the Compagnons were persecuted by the Nazi occupiers, who thought they were related to the Freemasons.
In computing, position-independent code (PIC) or position-independent executable (PIE) is a body of machine code that, being placed somewhere in the primary memory, executes properly regardless of its absolute address.
PIC is commonly used for shared libraries, so that the same library code can be loaded in a location in each program address space where it will not overlap any other uses of memory (for example, other shared libraries).
PIC was also used on older computer systems lacking an MMU, so that the operating system could keep applications away from each other even within the single address space of an MMU-less system.
This differs from absolute code, which must be loaded at a specific location to function correctly, and load-time locatable (LTL) code, in which a linker or program loader modifies a program before execution so it can be run only from a particular memory location.
Generating position-independent code is often the default behavior for compilers, but they may place restrictions on the use of some language features, such as disallowing use of absolute addresses (position-independent code has to use relative addressing).
Instructions that refer directly to specific memory addresses sometimes execute faster, and replacing them with equivalent relative-addressing instructions may result in slightly slower execution, although modern processors make the difference practically negligible.
In early computers such as the IBM 701 (April 29, 1952) and IBM System/360 (April 7, 1964), code was position-dependent: each program was built to be loaded into, and run from, a particular address.
Where a multitasking operating system allowed multiple jobs to be run using separate programs at the same time, operations had to be scheduled such that no two concurrent jobs would run programs that required the same load addresses.
For example, both a payroll program and an accounts receivable program built to run at address 32K could not both be run at the same time.
By way of comparison, on early segmented systems such as Burroughs MCP on the Burroughs B5000 (1961) and Multics (1964), paging systems such as IBM TSS/360 (1967) or base and bounds systems such as GECOS on the GE 625 and EXEC on the UNIVAC 1107, code was inherently position-independent, since addresses in a program were relative to the current segment rather than absolute.
The invention of dynamic address translation (the function provided by an MMU) originally reduced the need for position-independent code because every process could have its own independent address space (range of addresses).
If two jobs run entirely identical programs, dynamic address translation provides a solution by allowing the system simply to map two different jobs' address 32K to the same bytes of real memory, containing the single copy of the program.
A shared module (a shared library is a form of shared module) gets loaded once and mapped into the two address spaces.
Procedure calls inside a shared library are typically made through small procedure linkage table stubs, which then call the definitive function.
This notably allows a shared library to inherit certain function calls from previously loaded libraries rather than using its own versions.
Data references from position-independent code are usually made indirectly, through Global Offset Tables (GOTs), which store the addresses of all accessed global variables.
There is one GOT per compilation unit or object module, and it is located at a fixed offset from the code (although this offset is not known until the library is linked).
When a linker links modules to create a shared library, it merges the GOTs and sets the final offsets in code.
Position independent functions accessing global data start by determining the absolute address of the GOT given their own current program counter value.
This often takes the form of a fake function call in order to obtain the return value on stack (x86) or in a special register (PowerPC, SPARC, MIPS, probably at least some other RISC processors, ESA/390), which can then be stored in a predefined standard register.
Some processor architectures, such as the Motorola 68000, Motorola 6809, WDC 65C816, Knuth's MMIX, ARM and x86-64 allow referencing data by offset from the program counter.
Dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) in Microsoft Windows use variant E8 of the CALL instruction (Call near, relative, displacement relative to next instruction).
in code section of the dynamic library; therefore, the stored address in the global variable needs to be updated to reflect the address where the DLL was loaded to.
The dynamic loader calculates the address referred to by a global variable and stores the value in such global variable; this triggers copy-on-write of a memory page containing such global variable.
Pages with code and pages with global variables that do not contain pointers to code or global data remain shared between processes.
In Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, the relocation of DLLs and executables is done by the kernel memory manager, which shares the relocated binaries across multiple processes.
Versions of Windows prior to Vista require system DLLs to be prelinked at non-conflicting fixed addresses at the link time in order to avoid runtime relocation of images.
Runtime relocation in these older versions of Windows is performed by the DLL loader within the context of each process, and the resulting relocated portions of each image can no longer be shared between processes.
A call to a procedure saves PR4 in the stack before loading it with a pointer to the callee's linkage segment.
The procedure call uses an indirect pointer pair with a flag to cause a trap on the first call so that the dynamic linkage mechanism can add the new procedure and its linkage segment to the Known Segment Table (KST), construct a new linkage segment, put their segment numbers in the caller's linkage section and reset the flag in the indirect pointer pair.
In IBM S/360 Time Sharing System (TSS/360 and TSS/370) each procedure may have a read-only public CSECT and a writable private Prototype Section (PSECT).
A caller loads a V-constant for the routine into General Register 15 (GR15) and copies an R-constant for the routine's PSECT into the 19th word of the save area pointed to be GR13.
PIE binaries are used in some security-focused Linux distributions to allow PaX or Exec Shield to use address space layout randomization to prevent attackers from knowing where existing executable code is during a security attack using exploits that rely on knowing the offset of the executable code in the binary, such as return-to-libc attacks.
Apple's macOS and iOS fully support PIE executables as of versions 10.7 and 4.3, respectively; a warning is issued when non-PIE iOS executables are submitted for approval to Apple's App Store but there's no hard requirement yet and non-PIE applications are not rejected.
Support for PIE in statically linked binaries, such as the executables in codice_1 and codice_2 directories, was added near the end of 2014.
He wrote an influential treatise on gunnery, for the first time introducing Newtonian science to military men, was an early enthusiast for rifled gun barrels, and his work had substantive influence on the development of artillery during the latter half of the eighteenth century – and directly stimulated the teaching of calculus in military academies.
Having come to London on the advice of Dr. Henry Pemberton (1694–1771), who had recognised Robins' talents, for a time he maintained himself by teaching mathematics, but soon devoted himself to engineering and the study of fortification.
Robins also made a number of important experiments on the resistance of the air to the motion of projectiles, and on the force of gunpowder, with computation of the velocities thereby communicated to projectiles.
He compared the results of his theory with experimental determinations of the ranges of mortars and cannon, and gave practical maxims for the management of artillery.
However, the work of Robins still served as an important piece of technical information that helped the later advancement of the Prussian artillery, especially of its improvement in accuracy, a big step forwards that the book turned out to be a shot in the arm of the ambitious Frederick the Great who determined to vault the status and power of Prussian artillery to the top among other European armies.
He wrote pamphlets in support of the opposition to Sir Robert Walpole, and was secretary of a committee appointed by the House of Commons to enquire into the conduct of that minister.
In 1749, he was appointed engineer general to the East India Company, and went out to superintend the reconstruction of their forts.
The film was very well received, winning multiple awards including at the New Zealand Film and Television awards, the Toronto International Film Festival and received second prize at the Venice Film Festival.
Originally produced as a television mini-series, the film, as with Frame's autobiographies, is divided into three sections, with the lead role played by three actresses who portray Frame at different stages of her life: Karen Fergusson (child), Alexia Keogh (adolescent), and Kerry Fox (adult).
The film follows Frame from when she grows up in a poor family, through her years in a mental institution, and into her writing years after her escape.
In addition to virtually sweeping the local New Zealand film awards, it also took home the prize for best foreign film at the Independent Spirit Awards and the International Critics' Award at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The film not only established Jane Campion as an emerging director and launched the career of Kerry Fox, but it also introduced a broader audience to Janet Frame's writing.
Discovered by the Cubs as he played semi-professional baseball while attending college, Chance debuted with the Cubs in 1898, serving as a part-time player.
Chance led the Cubs to four National League championships in the span of five years (1906–1910) and won the World Series in 1907 and 1908.
Let go by the Cubs after the 1912 season, Chance signed with the Yankees, serving as a player–manager for two seasons.
He joined the Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League as a player–manager, returning to MLB in 1923 as manager of the Red Sox.
Chance was named the manager of the Chicago White Sox in 1924, but never took control of the team as he became ill.
Chance was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in the 1946 balloting by the Veterans Committee, along with Tinker and Evers.
While playing baseball for the school's baseball team, he received an offer to play semi-professional baseball for a team in Sullivan, Illinois, for $40 a month ($ in current dollar terms), which he accepted.
Returning to college the next year, Chance led his team to a third-place finish in an amateur tournament of 50 teams.
Bill Lange of the Chicago Cubs discovered Chance and convinced the Cubs to sign him as a backup catcher and outfielder, receiving $1,200 a year ($ in current dollar terms).
Chance was scouted by other teams, but chose the Cubs as Tim Donohue was the only catcher ahead of him on the Cubs' depth chart.
Due in part to finger injuries suffered while catching, Chance played in no more than 75 games in a season through 1902.
In 125 games during the 1903 season, Chance recorded a .327 batting average, and 67 stolen bases; the latter mark led the National League (NL).
His .439 on-base percentage was third-best in the league, behind Roy Thomas and Roger Bresnahan, and his 81 runs batted in (RBIs) tied Jake Beckley for sixth-best.
Chance also hit six home runs, tying him with Dan McGann, Red Dooin, and Cozy Dolan for third place, his 42 stolen bases tied McGann for fourth place, and his 89 runs scored were seventh-best.
His batting average was sixth-best in the NL, while he led the league with a .450 on-base percentage, and finished seventh with a .434 slugging percentage.
His batting average was fifth-best in the league, while his .419 on-base percentage finished in third, and his .430 slugging percentage placed him in fifth.
When Chance stole home from second base in a tie game against the Cincinnati Reds, team owner Charles W. Murphy granted him a ten-percent ownership stake in the club to show his gratitude.
Though he finished third in the NL with 27 doubles, he did not finish among the ten best in the categories of batting average, on-base percentage, or stolen bases in 1908, 1909, or 1910.
He rebuilt the team in 1911 after Evers's nervous breakdown and the departure of Harry Steinfeldt, replacing them with Heinie Zimmerman and Jim Doyle respectively.
In 1912, Chance endured surgeries to correct blood clots in his brain that were caused by being hit by pitches in his head.
Meanwhile, Chance argued with Murphy, who had been releasing expensive players from the Cubs in an effort to save the team money.
The Cubs released Chance while he was hospitalized, and in January 1913, Chance signed a three-year contract with the Yankees, worth $120,000 ($ in current dollar terms), to serve as the Yankees' manager.
He also played first base for the Yankees and served as field captain, though he played in no more than 12 games in a season.
The Yankees sat in last place on the next-to-last day of the 1913 season, but won their final game to finish in seventh place.
After repeatedly seeking to have Irwin fired, he offered his resignation from the team late in the season on the condition that he still was to receive his 1915 salary.
After this was accepted by team owner Frank J. Farrell, Chance resigned with three weeks remaining in the season, and Peckinpaugh served as player–manager for the remainder of the season.
Chance returned to his native California, and was named manager of the Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League in 1916.
He re-signed with the Angels for the 1917 season and was also granted a part ownership in the Angels from the majority owner, John F. Powers.
But some sources noted that Chance had only agreed to a one-year contract and was not necessarily interested in returning to the Red Sox, a team described by one sportswriter as no better than a minor league club.
After his relationship with the Red Sox was severed, he was named the Chicago White Sox manager for the 1924 season but developed severe influenza before he could take the helm.
Chance submitted his resignation to owner Charles Comiskey, but Comiskey refused to accept it, giving him the opportunity to return to the team when his health improved.
The Cubs won the NL pennant in 1906, 1907, 1908 and 1910, and won the World Series in 1907 and 1908—the team's last World Series titles prior to 2016.
Chance's lifetime record as a manager was 946–648 ( winning percentage); his .664 winning percentage as manager of the Cubs is the highest in franchise history.
Chance fined his players for shaking hands with members of the opposing team and forced Solly Hofman to delay his wedding until after the baseball season, lest marriage impair his abilities on the playing field.
In August 1911, Chance suspended Tinker for the remainder of the season for using profanity, though he reinstated Tinker two days later.
After falling short of induction in the Baseball Hall of Fame by seven votes in 1945, Chance was elected to the Hall of Fame in the 1946 balloting by the Veterans Committee.
Robert Taschereau, (September 10, 1896 – July 26, 1970) was a lawyer who became the 11th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada and who briefly served as acting Governor General of Canada following the death of Georges Vanier in 1967.
Following a career as a lawyer, Taschereau entered politics as a Liberal and won a seat in the Quebec National Assembly in 1930.
On February 9, 1940, he was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada, filling the vacancy created by the death of his former law partner, Lawrence Cannon.
In 1946, he and fellow Justice Roy Kellock conducted the Royal Commission on Spying Activities in Canada that had been prompted by the Gouzenko Affair.
According to the Canadian rules of succession, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is second-in-line to the Governor Generalship, and serves in an interim capacity until a new one can be recommended by the Prime Minister and chosen by the Queen.
Taschereau acted as Governor General from Vanier's death on March 5 to April 17, 1967 at which point Prime Minister Lester Pearson and the Queen appointed Roland Michener as the new Governor General.
Robert Taschereau died in 1970 at the age of 73, and was interred in the family plot at the Cimetière Notre-Dame-de-Belmont in Sainte-Foy, Quebec.
His father, Louis-Alexandre Taschereau, had been Premier of Quebec and his grandfather, Jean-Thomas Taschereau, also served on the Supreme Court of Canada as a puisne justice.
Robert was more distantly related to Sir Henri Elzéar Taschereau, who replaced Jean-Thomas on the Supreme Court and went on to serve as Chief Justice of Canada.
Murrain did not refer to a specific disease, but was an umbrella term for what are now recognized as a number of different diseases, including rinderpest, erysipelas, foot-and-mouth disease, anthrax, and streptococcus infections.
There were major sheep and cattle murrains in Europe during the 14th century, which, combined with the Little Ice Age, resulted in the Great Famine of 1315-1317, weakening the population of Europe before the onset of the Black Death in 1348.
In some parts of Scotland, force-fire was believed to cure it and in some remote regions of Cumbria, England, murrain is still used as a term for a curse, specifically a curse placed upon land or livestock.
code: 753) is an astronomical observatory located at 1401 Observatory Drive on the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus in Madison, Wisconsin, United States.
Today, it is home to the UW-Madison College of Letters and Science Honors Program, while the telescope remains in use by students in introductory astronomy courses and the general public during open houses and viewings.
On September 18, 1877, John Bascom, the president of the University, announced that Washburn would provide an observatory with a telescope that was to be larger than the 15-inch refractor at Harvard.
Washburn, along with the Board of Regents, chose the site of the observatory to be removed from the city of Madison with the university campus acting as the divider.
The site was about 100 feet above Lake Mendota on the north side of campus and, at the time, was surrounded by a vineyard and orchard.
Construction on the observatory was started in May, 1878, and a contract was given to Alvan Clark to build the telescope.
It was decided that the telescope would have a diameter of 15.6 inches, which would make it the third largest in the United States.
He oversaw the completion of the original building, and also provided funding for a students' observatory, as well as a solar observatory.
Developed in the late 17th century, it was initially known as Southampton Square and was one of the earliest London squares.
By the early 19th century, Bedford House along the north of the square had been demolished and replaced with terraced housing designed by James Burton.
The square was developed for the 4th Earl of Southampton in the early 1660s and was initially known as Southampton Square.
The Earl's own house, then known as Southampton House and later as Bedford House after the square and the rest of the Bloomsbury Estate passed by marriage from the Earls of Southampton to the Dukes of Bedford, occupied the whole of the north side of the square, where Bedford Place is now located.
The other sides were lined with typical terraced houses of the time, which were initially occupied by members of the aristocracy and gentry.
The then 23-year-old Scottish economist and financier John Law fought Edward 'Beau' Wilson, killing him with a single pass and thrust of his sword.
Law would be convicted of murder and sentenced to death, but would escape his condemned cell and go on to become the founder of the Mississippi Company and the de facto prime minister of France.
Consequently, the Duke of Bedford of the day moved out of Bedford House, which was demolished and replaced with further terraced houses.
6 from 1817 to 1829 and for part of that time his son, the future Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli lived with him.
Bloomsbury Square's garden contains a bronze statue by Richard Westmacott of Charles James Fox, who was a Whig associate of the Dukes of Bedford.
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain was based in an 18th-century building on the southern side of the square partly credited to John Nash.
The eastern side of the square is occupied by a large early 20th-century office building called Victoria House, built for, and for many decades occupied by, Liverpool Victoria Friendly Society.
The Pine Bluff Observatory (PBO) is an astronomical observatory located in the town of Cross Plains, Wisconsin (USA) about west of Madison.
Recent research conducted at PBO includes measuring the lunar sodium tail, monitoring circumstellar disks around Be stars, and studying the warm ionized medium.
In 1972, Hospers became the first presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party, and was the only minor party candidate to receive an electoral vote in that year's U.S. presidential election.
John Hospers was born on June 9, 1918, in Pella, Iowa, the son of Dena Helena (Verhey) and John De Gelder Hospers.
He taught philosophy at the University of Minnesota, Brooklyn College, California State College Los Angeles (1966–1968) and at the University of Southern California, where for many years he was chairman of the philosophy department and professor emeritus.
Although Hospers became convinced of the validity of Rand's moral and political views, he disagreed with her about issues of epistemology, the subject of their extensive correspondence.
In the 1972 U.S. Presidential election, Hospers and Tonie Nathan were the first presidential and vice-presidential nominees, respectively, of the newly formed Libertarian Party.
The Libertarian Party was poorly organized and Hospers and Nathan managed to get on the ballot in only two states (Washington and Colorado), receiving 3,674 popular votes.
Hospers and Nathan received one electoral vote from faithless elector Roger MacBride, a Republican from Virginia, resulting in Nathan's becoming the first woman and the first Jew to receive an electoral vote in a United States presidential election.
The observatory is named to recognize funding from M. John Hartung, a 1908 Cornell graduate and later chemical industrialist, and to honor Samuel L. Boothroyd, the founder of Cornell's Department of Astronomy.
The primary 0.6m mirror was constructed from a Pyrex 1/8-scale test pouring as part of technology development for the Palomar Observatory 200-inch telescope.
The mirror was polished and mounted in a lightweight tube in the late 1930s under Boothroyd's direction, but World War II deferred its planned use in a high-altitude observatory.
In addition to Jeff Christie (born Jeffrey Christie, 12 July 1946, Leeds, Yorkshire, England) their vocalist, bassist and songwriter; they initially included guitarist Vic Elmes and drummer Mike Blakley (born Michael Blakley, 12 January 1947, Bromley, Kent, England, brother of Alan Blakley).
They recorded it to release as a single but changed their minds as they were going more progressive as the seventies started.
At the same time Tremeloes member Alan Blakely's brother Michael had a little group called the Epics and Alan wanted to give his brother a break.
The Epics became Christie with Jeff as the lead vocalist and the result was a UK number one hit in June 1970, and subsequently No.
23 in the US, also accumulating more weeks (23) on the Hot 100 than any other entry on that chart completely inside 1970.
Both tracks became flash songs on their eponymous debut album of that year, and it stayed on US Billboard 200 chart for ten weeks.
The departure of Fenton and Lubin hastened the demise of the original line-up, but Jeff Christie returned with new members Terry Fogg (drums) (born Terrence George Fogg, 25 September 1945, Chesterfield, Derbyshire), Roger Flavell (bass), and Danny Krieger (guitar).
Jeff Christie reformed the band in 1990 with members of UK band Tubeless Hearts, Kev Moore, Simon Kay and Adrian 'Fos' Foster.
Tavistock Square was built shortly after 1806 by the property developer James Burton and the master builder Thomas Cubitt for Francis Russell, 5th Duke of Bedford, and formed part of the Bedford Estate in London, owned by the Dukes of Bedford.
In 1920 the Tavistock Clinic was founded in the square, a pioneering psychiatric clinic whose patients included shell-shock victims of the First World War.
The bomb was detonated by 18-year-old Hasib Hussain on a double-decker bus bearing route number 30; it had been diverted from its normal route along Euston Road because of traffic disruption by the other three bombings at tube stations.
The bomb exploded immediately outside the British Medical Association building, many of whose staff came out to give what help they could.
In September 2018, a memorial honouring the victims and the efforts of those who gave assistance was unveiled in Tavistock Square Gardens.
The hollow pedestal was intended, and is used, for people to leave floral tributes to the peace campaigner and nonviolent resister to oppression in South Africa and British rule in India.
These three features have led to the square unofficially being regarded by some as a peace park or garden, and annual ceremonies are held at each of these memorials.
A bust of the writer Virginia Woolf, cast from a 1931 sculpture by Stephen Tomlin (1901–1937), was unveiled in 2004 at the southwest corner of the square.
From there she and her husband Leonard Woolf ran the Hogarth Press, which became a prominent and influential publisher at the forefront of modernist fiction and poetry (publishing T.S.
The square contains a memorial to the surgeon Dame Louisa Aldrich-Blake (1865 –1925), with a bust of Aldrich-Blake by Arthur George Walker on a plinth designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.
Taytu Betul (; baptismal name Wälättä Mikael; c. 1851 – February 11, 1918) was an Empress of the Ethiopian Empire (1889–1913.
She was the third wife of Emperor Menelek II of Ethiopia and She is the founder of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital city.
The month of her baptism is unknown, nevertheless she was baptized on the 12th day which is associated to St. Mikael.
Her childhood was short, as she soon had to prepare to become a women at the age of ten, where she would be married off to her first husband, an officer of Emperor Tewedros.
Her great-grandfather, Ras Gebre of Semen, ruled Semen for 44 years a period known as Zemene Mesafint or the 'Era of the Princes'.
He was responsible for making the Shanquila pay taxes in gold, as well as treating his subjects so well- providing an ample amount of food and drink so that they no longer needed to farm to sustain themselves.
Similarly, her grandmother was the daughter of Ras Gugsa (her other great-grandfather) who was a leader from the Were Sheik Yejju ruling family.
Taytu is acknowledged to have wielded considerable political power, both before and after she and Menelik were crowned Emperor and Empress in 1889.
She led the conservative faction at court that resisted the modernists and progressives who wanted to develop Ethiopia along western lines and bring modernity to the country.
Thus, Empress Taytu was a key player in the conflict over the Treaty of Wuchale with Italy which she tore up.
Empress Taytu was the first to agitate the hesitant Emperor and other men to stand up for liberty, dignity, and against Italian aggression.
Deeply suspicious of European intentions towards Ethiopia, she was a key player in the conflict over the Treaty of Wuchale with Italy, in which the Italian version made Ethiopia an Italian protectorate, while the Amharic version did not do so.
The Empress held a hard line against the Italians, and when talks eventually broke down, and Italy invaded the Empire from its Eritrean colony, she marched north with the Emperor and the Imperial Army, commanding a force of cannoneers at the historic Battle of Adwa which resulted in a humiliating defeat for Italy in March, 1896.
When Menelik's health began to decline around 1906, Taytu began to make decisions on his behalf, angering her rivals for power through her appointment of favorites and relatives to most of the positions of power and influence.
Widely resented for her alleged Gonderine xenophobia and nepotism, the nobility of Shoa and Tigray, along with the Wollo relatives of the heir-to-the-throne, Lij Iyasu, conspired to remove her from state responsibility.
Taytu was banished to the old Palace at Entoto, next to the St. Mary's church she had founded years before, and where her husband had been crowned Emperor.
While some believe Taytu may have played a part in the plot that eventually removed Emperor Iyasu V from the throne in 1916, replacing him with Empress Zauditu, the price for Zauditu's elevation was a divorce from Taytu's nephew Ras Gugsa Welle, who became governor of Begemder.
Zauditu, Menelik II's daughter by yet another previous marriage, had always been close to Empress Taytu and invited Taytu to live with her.
She requested permission to go to Gondar in November 1917 to end her days, but was refused; she died three months later.
She is buried next to her husband at the Taeka Negest Ba'eta Le Mariam Monastery in Addis Ababa and lives to this day in the memories as the Empress who won liberty against the colonizers.
David Hamilton Koch (; May 3, 1940 – August 23, 2019) was an American businessman, philanthropist, political activist, and chemical engineer.
He became president of the subsidiary Koch Engineering in 1979, and became a co-owner of Koch Industries (along with elder brother Charles) in 1983.
Koch became a Republican in 1984; in 2012, he spent over $100 million to oppose the re-election of President Barack Obama.
Koch was the fourth-richest person in the United States in 2012 and was the wealthiest resident of New York City in 2013.
As of June 2019, Koch was ranked as the 11th-richest person in the world (tied with his brother Charles), with a fortune of $50.5 billion.
Known for his philanthropy, Koch contributed to the Lincoln Center, Sloan Kettering, NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital, and the Dinosaur Wing at the American Museum of Natural History.
The New York State Theater at Lincoln Center, home of the New York City Ballet, was renamed the David H. Koch Theater in 2008 following Koch's gift of $100 million for the renovation of the theater.
His maternal ancestors included William Ingraham Kip, an Episcopal bishop; William Burnet Kinney, a politician; and Elizabeth Clementine Stedman, a writer.
He also held the single-game scoring record of 41 points from 1962 until 2009, when it was eclipsed by Jimmy Bartolotta.
He founded the company's New York City office and in 1979 he became the president of his own division, Koch Engineering, renamed Chemical Technology Group.
In June 1983, after a bitter legal and boardroom battle, the stakes of Frederick and Bill were bought out for $1.1 billion and Charles Koch and David Koch became majority owners in the company.
Frederick and Bill sided with J. Howard Marshall III, J. Howard Marshall II's eldest son, against Charles and David at one point, in order to take over the company.
In 2001, Bill reached a settlement in a lawsuit where he had charged the company was taking oil from federal and Indian land; that settlement ended all litigation between the brothers.
Koch was the Libertarian Party's vice-presidential candidate in the 1980 presidential election, sharing the party ticket with presidential candidate Ed Clark.
The Clark–Koch ticket promised to abolish Social Security, the Federal Reserve Board, welfare, minimum-wage laws, corporate taxes, all price supports and subsidies for agriculture and business, and U.S. Federal agencies including the SEC, EPA, ICC, FTC, OSHA, FBI, CIA, and DOE.
The ticket received 921,128 votes, 1% of the total nationwide vote, the Libertarian Party national ticket's best showing until 2016 in terms of percentage and its best showing in terms of raw votes until the 2012 presidential election, although that number was surpassed again in 2016.
He wanted less government and taxes, and was talking about repealing all these victimless crime laws that accumulated on the books.
Koch was the chairman of the board and gave initial funding to the Americans for Prosperity Foundation and to a related advocacy organization, Americans for Prosperity.
The Koch brothers were key funders for climate change denialism through think tanks including the Cato Institute and the American Enterprise Institute.
In July 2015, David and Charles Koch were commended by both President Obama and activist Anthony Van Jones for their bipartisan efforts to reform the prison system in the United States.
For nearly 10 years, the Kochs advocated for several reforms within the criminal justice system which include reducing recidivism rates, simplifying the employment process for the rehabilitated, and defending private property from government seizures through asset forfeiture.
Allying with groups such as the ACLU, the Center for American Progress, Families Against Mandatory Minimums, the Coalition for Public Safety, and the MacArthur Foundation, the Kochs maintained that current prison system unfairly targeted low-income and minority communities at the expense of the public budget.
In July 2008, Koch pledged $100 million over 10 years to renovate the New York State Theater in the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts; the Theater is the home of the New York City Ballet.
Koch was a trustee of the American Ballet Theatre for 25 years and contributed more than $6 million to the theater.
In 2012, Koch contributed US$35 million to the Smithsonian to build a new dinosaur exhibition hall at the National Museum of Natural History.
Koch was a member of the board of directors of the Prostate Cancer Foundation and contributed $41 million to the foundation, including $5 million to a collaborative project in the field of nanotechnology.
An eponym of the David H. Koch Chair of the Prostate Cancer Foundation, the position is held by Dr. Jonathan Simons.
In 2007, he contributed $100 million to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the construction of a new research and technology facility to serve as the home of the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research.
From the time he joined the MIT Corporation in 1988, Koch gave at least $185 million to MIT, $15 million to NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell Medical Center and $30 million to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
The same year, he donated $25 million to the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston to establish the David Koch Center for Applied Research in Genitourinary Cancers.
In 2013, he gave $100 million to NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital, the largest philanthropic donation in its history, beginning a $2 billion campaign to conclude in 2019 for a new ambulatory care center and renovation the infrastructure of the hospital's five sites.
In 2015, he committed $150 million to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City to build the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care, which will be housed in a 23-story building in development between East 73rd and 74th Streets overlooking the FDR Drive.
Koch was the fourth-richest person in the United States in 2012 and was the wealthiest resident of New York City in 2013.
As of June 2019, Koch was ranked as the 11th-richest person in the world (tied with his brother Charles), with a fortune of $50.5 billion.
In February 1991, Koch was a passenger on board USAir Flight 1493 when it collided with another aircraft on a runway at Los Angeles International Airport, killing 35 people.
Following Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' death in 1994, Koch purchased her 15-room apartment at 1040 Fifth Avenue and in 2006 resold it to billionaire Glenn Dubin.
Typically a student takes 9 to 13 subjects – including English, Irish and Mathematics – as part of the Junior Cycle.
The examination does not reach the standards for college or university entrance; instead, a school leaver in Ireland will typically take the Leaving Certificate Examination two or three years after completion of the Junior Certificate to reach that standard.
Near the end of the decade, the Department of Education and Science began to replace many subject curricula, particularly those that were dated, such as History and Geography.
In 1999, Civic, Social, and Political Education was introduced as a subject and made mandatory from 2000, when Religious Education was also brought in.
Religion was phased in with just a few schools adopting it in its first year, but now nearly all do the exam for Junior Cert, whilst CSPE was implemented nationwide.
The new course emphasised greater class participation and introduced the awarding of a percentage of marks for class practicals throughout the three years.
Sample papers were not released until early 2006, the year when the new exam would be sat for the first time.
Also, some schools complained that they did not have the laboratory facilities to do the new course but were forced to teach it anyway.
In 2004, results were made available on the Internet for the first time thus allowing students who, for instance, had moved school or left school to get their results without having to return to their old school.
Courses are quite broad – for example, the Business Studies course covers business organisation, marketing, economics, accounting and several other areas.
In certain types of schools, subjects in the optional grouping (or a selection from combinations of them) may, in fact, be mandatory, for instance, History and Geography are mandatory in certain types of schools.
However, a D3 may be awarded with a tolerance of up to 2%; a practice in place since the introduction of the grading system in 1969.
†An exemption from taking Irish may be awarded in some cases, for students with a specific learning difficulty such as dyslexia or Autism Spectrum Disorder, or those who did not attend school in the country before their twelfth birthday.
The exams always start with English, then the other core subjects and finish with the subjects that have the fewest candidates.
Schools with students taking the examinations will have one or more examination centres (individual enclosed rooms in which examinations take place), and almost always at least two, because the Leaving Certificate and Junior Certificate examinations cannot take place in the same centre.
Each exam centre is supervised by an external invigilator, usually a teacher from another school or an employee of the SEC.
A staff member of the school is hired as an examination aide by the SEC to act as a liaison between the SEC and the school officials during the examination period.
Candidates may not enter the exam centre after the first 30 minutes, and are permitted to leave the centre after 30 minutes have passed, up until the last 15 minutes of the examination, although this practice has been abolished in some schools, and is discouraged in many others.
The level taken at Junior Certificate may have bearing on the level taken in the Leaving Certificate; thus, for instance, a student could take an Ordinary level in the Junior Certificate and then could not take a Higher level in the corresponding Leaving Certificate subject, later.
Grades A, B, C and D are passing grades, E and F are failing grades; therefore, the pass mark for the Junior Cert is 40%.
In the Junior Certificate candidates have the option of answering either in Irish(only if they have been in the Irish stream) or in English, except in the case of the subjects Irish and English and questions in other language subjects.
Certain subjects and components are not available for bonus marks, marks awarded also vary depending on the written nature of the subject.
suffer spelling problems caused by dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, or other disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder or ADHD) cannot be penalised for poor spelling in exams such as English and Irish.
Junior Cert results are not a prerequisite for the Leaving Certificate, so that all students may continue to their next year of education no matter what their results.
The Junior Certificate (and more so, the Leaving Certificate) results take centre place in the Irish media during the week surrounding their release.
If a student is unhappy with a grade they received on any of the exam results, they may appeal the decision made by the SEC.
They need to pay a fee (in 2010 the fee was set at €32 per exam) and the principal of the school writes a letter of appeal application to the State Examinations Commission, stating the candidate's name, exam number and the exam they would like to appeal.
There is a deadline to appeal, usually 14–21 days after the results are published, in which the student's application must be made.
However, if a change did occur, then the candidate will be refunded the appeal fee via a Cheque made out to the principal of the school.
These refunds take time to be issued, but in an appeal made in September of one year, the refund was issued as late as March in the following year.
Although school attendance in Ireland is very high, some students drop out of the education system after completion of the Junior Certificate.
In late 2009 the Irish Government considered for a short period of time to completely scrap all Junior Cert examinations permanently.
The move was met with criticism and outrage from the Teachers' Union (ASTI), but the Government said that scrapping the annual examinations and replacing them with continuous assessment would save the country €30 million.
However, later on, the government agreed to not scrap the Junior Certificate and instead, introduce a brand new syllabus in English for students starting First Year of secondary school in September 2014, with only 90% of the test going for a written exam.
It is called the Collection of Texts in which a student will choose 4 written pieces throughout the 3 years from 4 different genres and will re-draft them.
Schools started the new course September 2014, as soon as the Junior Certificate Examinations were abolished with the aim of a soft transition.
English was reformed in 2014, Science and Business were reformed in 2016 and Irish, Mathematics and French were reformed in 2017.
The First Saturdays Devotion (also called the Act of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary) is a Catholic devotion which, according to Sister Lúcia of Fátima, was requested by the Virgin Mary in an apparition at Pontevedra, Spain, in December 1925.
On July 1, 1905, Pope Pius X approved and granted indulgences for the practice of the First Saturdays of twelve consecutive months in honor of the Immaculate Conception.
At the age of 14, Lúcia Santos, one of the purported Portuguese seers of Our Lady of Fátima was admitted as a boarder to the school of the Sisters of St. Dorothy in Vilar, near the city of Porto.
On October 24, 1925, she entered the Institute of the Sisters of St. Dorothy as a postulant in the convent in Tui, Spain, just across the northern Portuguese border.
Sister Lucia later reported that on December 10, 1925, the Virgin Mary appeared to her at the convent in Pontevedra, Spain, and by Her side, elevated on a luminous cloud, was the Child Jesus.
According to Lucia, Mary requested the institution of the Devotion of the Five First Saturdays in reparation to her Immaculate Heart.
Such sorrow is particularly bitterly endured on Holy Saturday after Jesus was placed on the Sepulcher (before the Resurrection on Easter).
Devotees of Fátima believe that the First Saturdays help to console the sorrows of God, Jesus, and the Virgin Mary for the sins against Her Immaculate Heart.
The confession can take place within eight days before or even after the Holy Communion is received, but the Holy Communion shall be received with dignity, in a state of Grace, keeping in mind that Jesus is physically present in the Eucharist (Transubstantiation).
The Intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary may be kept to oneself; it is not necessary to notify the confessor priest.
Receiving Holy Communion as part of this devotion must be consciously intended as an Act of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart.
To avoid omitting the Intention every Saturday, the General Intention for the devotion of the Act of Reparation can be mentally or outspokenly stated before starting the First Saturdays (or in between).
If a person has a valid reason not to attend Mass (Masses not available on Saturdays, difficult mobilization, other major event), the devotee may consult a priest about receiving Communion privately or on another day with the intention of making this Communion as part of the devotion.
The activities of the Five First Saturdays devotions are different from similar devotions on other days in that all should be done with the specific intention in the heart of making reparation to the Blessed Mother for blasphemies against her, her name and her holy initiatives.
The Gallatin River is a tributary of the Missouri River, approximately 120 mi (193 km long), in the U.S. states of Wyoming and Montana.
It is one of three rivers, along with the Jefferson and Madison, that converge near Three Forks, Montana, to form the Missouri.
It originates in the northwest corner of Yellowstone National Parke in northwestern Wyoming, in the Gallatin Range of the Rocky Mountains.
It flows northwest through Gallatin National Forest, past Big Sky, Montana, and joins the Jefferson and Madison approximately 30 mi (48 km) northwest of Bozeman.
The Gallatin River is an amazingly scenic river – winding through high alpine meadows, dropping into the rocky Gallatin Canyon, and flowing out into the Gallatin Valley.
Portions of the river are designated as a Blue Ribbon trout stream while the remainder is designated Red Ribbon by the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Department.
The river is a Class I water from the Taylor Fork to its confluence with the Missouri for the purposes of public recreational access.
There was a significant amount of consideration given to the idea of running the railroad through the canyon to increase travel between Yellowstone National Park and Bozeman, Montana.
Logging was conducted in the canyon at the turn of the 20th century, and loggers would ride the logs down river to prevent them from jamming.
Pete Karst moved into the canyon in 1898 to homestead a ranch, and ran everything from an inn for travelers to serving liquor he made on the premise during Prohibition days.
His most successful endeavor in the canyon was a bus route he ran in 1924 from Salesville (now Gallatin Gateway) to Yellowstone National Park.
The Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator (SWIG) is an open-source software tool used to connect computer programs or libraries written in C or C++ with scripting languages such as Lua, Perl, PHP, Python, R, Ruby, Tcl, and other languages like C#, Java, JavaScript, Go, D, OCaml, Octave, Scilab and Scheme.
The aim is to allow the calling of native functions (that were written in C or C++) by other programming languages, passing complex data types to those functions, keeping memory from being inappropriately freed, inheriting object classes across languages, etc.
SWIG will generate conversion code for functions with simple arguments; conversion code for complex types of arguments must be written by the programmer.
SWIG wraps simple C declarations by creating an interface that closely matches the way in which the declarations would be used in a C program.
The initial author and main developer was David M. Beazley who developed SWIG while working as a graduate student at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of Utah and while on the faculty at the University of Chicago.
Haoyu Bai spent his summers on SWIG's Python 3.0 Backend, Jan Jezabek worked on Support for generating COM wrappers, Cheryl Foil spent her time on Comment 'Translator' for SWIG, and Maciej Drwal worked on a C backend.
The Negroni is a popular Italian cocktail, made of one part gin, one part vermouth rosso (red, semi-sweet), and one part Campari, garnished with orange peel.
A properly made Negroni is stirred, not shaken, and (classically) built over ice in an old fashioned or ‘rocks’ glass and garnished with a slice of orange.
Outside of Italy an orange peel is often used in place of an orange slice, either is acceptable though an orange slice is more traditional.
While the drink's origins are unknown, the most widely reported account is that it was first mixed in Florence, Italy, in 1919, at Caffè Casoni (formerly Caffè Giacosa), located on Via de' Tornabuoni and now called Caffè Roberto Cavalli.
Count Camillo Negroni concocted it by asking the bartender, Fosco Scarselli, to strengthen his favorite cocktail, the Americano, by adding gin rather than the normal soda water.
The bartender also added an orange garnish rather than the typical lemon garnish of the Americano to signify that it was a different drink.
After the success of the cocktail, the Negroni family founded Negroni Distillerie in Treviso, Italy, and produced a ready-made version of the drink, sold as Antico Negroni 1919.
Cocktail historian David Wondrich has researched Camillo Negroni, who was born on 25 May 1868 to Enrico Negroni and Ada Savage Landor, and died in Florence on 25 September 1934.
Descendants of General Pascal Olivier de Negroni, Count de Negroni, say he was the Count Negroni who invented the drink in 1857 in Senegal.
This was partly due to British concerns about escalating the war too early, but also to avoid scaring off more lucrative targets such as the Argentine aircraft carrier .
The sella is a flat, ridge-like structure at the center of the nose, rising from behind the nostrils, that points out perpendicular from the head.
Their hind limbs are not well developed, so they cannot walk on all fours; conversely, their wings are broad, making their flight particularly agile.
Their roost habits are diverse; some species are found in large colonies in caves, some prefer hollow trees, and others sleep in the open, among the branches of trees.
Members of northern populations may hibernate during the winter, while a few are known to aestivate; at least one species is migratory.
Like many Vespertilionidae bats, females of some rhinolophid species mate during the fall and store the sperm over the winter, conceiving and gestating young beginning in the spring.
Horseshoe bats are closely related to the family Hipposideridae, which is often included within the Rhinolophidae; however, it is now considered a separate family.
The phylogenomic relationships of hipposiderid and rhinolophid bats has implications for their potential as reservoirs for coronaviruses that may cause a SARS-like epidemic in humans.
It is part of the University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and is closely associated with University College London (UCL).
The hospital is located on Euston Road in the Bloomsbury area of the London Borough of Camden, adjacent to the main campus of UCL.
UCH was split from UCL in 1905, and a new hospital building designed by Alfred Waterhouse, known as the Cruciform Building, was opened in 1906 on Gower Street.
The building was purchased by UCL, for use as the home for the Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research and the teaching facility for UCL bioscience and medical students UCL Medical School.
A new 75,822 m² hospital, procured under the Private Finance Initiative in 2000, designed by Llewelyn Davies Yeang and built by a joint venture of AMEC and Balfour Beatty at a cost of £422 million, opened in 2005.
In November 2008, the £70 million Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Wing was opened, allowing the hospital to offer all women's health services in one place (except some breast and gynaecology services).
It is also a major centre for medical research and part of both the UCLH/UCL Biomedical Research Centre and the UCL Partners academic health science centre.
Nancy Theresa Lord (born February 8, 1952) is an American politician and was the vice-presidential candidate of the United States Libertarian Party in the 1992 presidential election, as the running-mate of Andre Marrou.
She also ran for Nye County, Nevada District Attorney as a Republican in 2010, and for District 5 Judge in 2012.
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, also known as 'Evo', is a sports sedan based on the Lancer that was manufactured by Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi Motors from 1992 until 2016.
Mitsubishi decided to export the eighth generation Evolution to the United States in 2003 after witnessing the success Subaru had in that market with their long-time direct rival, the Subaru Impreza WRX STi.
Japanese-spec versions of all Evos until the release of the Evo IX in 2005 were limited by a gentlemen's agreement to advertise no more than .
However, sources say Mitsubishi had already been producing cars with more power but had been underrating the official power outputs in order to be in compliance with the agreement.
Therefore, each subsequent version has unofficially evolved above the advertised power figures, with the Japanese-spec Evolution IX reaching an alleged output of around .
The tenth and final generation of the Lancer Evolution (Evo X) was launched in Japan in 2007, and overseas markets in 2008.
The first Lancer Evolution used the 2.0 L turbocharged DOHC engine and AWD drivetrain from the original Galant VR-4 in a Lancer chassis, and was sold in GSR and RS models.
This engine was also used in the Mitsubishi RVR with the Hyper Sports Gear trim package, and the Mitsubishi Chariot Resort Runner GT.
The RS was a stripped-down version that lacked power windows and seats, anti-lock brakes, a rear wiper, and had steel wheels to weigh approximately less than the GSR, ready for racing or tuning.
The GSR version of the Evolution I was the only Evolution Lancer released with a Viscous Limited Slip Rear Differential (VLSD).
It consisted mainly of handling improvements, including minor wheelbase adjustments, lighter front swaybar that connected via swaybar links to the front struts, bodywork tweaks including a larger spoiler, and tires that were wider.
Most cars came with 15 inch OZ 5-spoke wheels from the factory, although some RS models sold to privateer racing teams left the factory with steel wheels.
February 1995 saw the arrival of the Evolution 3, following a pre-release in 1993 which had several improvements over the previous models.
The engine was improved and had a higher compression ratio than before, and a new turbocharger compressor (65 mm to 68 mm), which resulted in a power output of at 6,250 rpm, at 3,000 rpm.
In the story, the car featured upgrades to the engine to produce 310 hp as well as an antilag (misfiring) system.
The Lancer platform was completely changed in 1996, and along with it, the Evolution, which had become extremely popular throughout the world.
The RS version was produced as a competition car with a limited-slip front differential and a friction type LSD at the rear.
The RS also had wind up windows, optional air conditioning in some models, and a few extra brace bars to strengthen the chassis, one behind the front grill another across the boot floor and an aluminum rear strut tower brace.
The GSR and the RS shared a new twin scroll turbocharger which helped to improve response and increase power to at 6,500 rpm and torque at 4,000 rpm.
The Evolution IV can be distinguished by its two large fog lights in the front bumper (option on RS version), and the newly designed tail lights on the rear, which became a standard design to Evolution V, which would become yet another trademark of the Evolution series, note the RS has no light mounts on the boot/trunk for further weight saving.
This new generation was slightly heavier than previous Evo's—the GSR in particular due to the added technology systems—but to counter this the car produced even more power—the weight of the RS being and the GSR being (Sunroof model ).
Much of the technical improvements for this generation were also used in the second generation Mitsubishi RVR originally sold only in Japan but since exported to Australia and New Zealand.
It received a larger intercooler, larger oil cooler, and new pistons, along with a titanium-aluminide turbine wheel for the RS model, which was a first in a production car.
The Evolution VI received new bodywork yet again, with the most easily noticeable change being within the front bumper where the huge fog lights were reduced in size and moved to the corners for better airflow.
A new model was added to the GSR and RS lineup; known as the RS2, it was an RS with a few of the GSR's options.
Another limited-edition RS was known as the RS Sprint, an RS tuned by Ralliart in the UK to be lighter and more powerful with .
Yet another special edition Evolution VI was released in December 1999: the Tommi Mäkinen Edition, named after Finnish rally driver Tommi Mäkinen who had won Mitsubishi four WRC drivers championships.
Amongst other colours, the Evo VI came in either red (Tommi Mäkinen Edition only), white, blue, black or silver with optional special decals, replicating Tommi Mäkinen's rally car's colour scheme.
In 2001, Mitsubishi was forced by the FIA to race in the WRC using WRC rules for building a car instead of the Group A class rules, and thus did not need to follow homologation rules.
The Evolution VII was based on the larger Lancer Cedia platform and as a result gained more weight over the Evolution VI, but Mitsubishi made up for this with multiple important chassis tweaks.
The biggest change was the addition of an active center differential and a more effective limited-slip differential, while a front helical limited-slip differential was added.
The introduction of the Evolution VII also marked the first time an automatic drivetrain was included within the model lineup—the GT-A.
Seen as the 'gentleman's express' version of the visually similar VII GSR and the RS2, the GT-A model was only produced in 2002 and had the following distinguishing interior and exterior specification: GT-A-only diamond cut finish alloy wheels, clear rear light lenses and all-in-one style front headlights (later used on the Evolution VIII).
The GT-A had the option of either no spoiler, the short spoiler (as per the Lancer Cedia; and later used on the Evolution VIII 260) or the thunderspoiler as used on the standard Evolution VII models.
Although offering inferior cooling capabilities, the bonnet was designed to give a cleaner line through the air with less air resistance at motorway speeds.
The GT-A interior was different in that it had chromed door handles, a different instrument panel (to show the gear selection) and chrome edged bezels around the speedo and tach.
The GT-A also had additional sound deadening installed from the factory and the engine manifold and downpipe had been engineered to be quieter.
The gears could be manually selected as with most Tiptronics via steering wheel + and – buttons (a pair both sides) or via selecting the tiptronic gate with the gear lever.
The GT-A gearbox did not appear again in the Evolution VIII but has been installed in the estate version of the Evolution IX Wagon.
The aluminium roof panel and other reductions in body weight have lowered the centre of gravity to produce more natural roll characteristics.
Detail improvements have also been made to Mitsubishi's own electronic four-wheel drive, to the ACD 5 + Super AYC 6 traction control, and to the Sports ABS systems.
The Lancer Evolution VIII displayed at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show took the MR designation traditionally reserved for Mitsubishi Motors high-performance models (first used for the Galant GTO).
The FQ-400, sold through Ralliart UK, produced at 6,400 rpm and maximum torque of at 5,500 rpm, from its 4G63 inline-four engine, the result of special modifications by United Kingdom tuning firms Rampage Tuning, Owen Developments, and Flow Race Engines.
With a curb weight of , it achieves 0– in 3.5 seconds, 0– in 9.1 seconds, in 12.1 seconds at , and a top speed of while costing £48,000.
The Stig recorded a Top Gear Power Lap Time of 1 minute and 24.8 seconds (damp track), 1.1 seconds slower than the Murciélago's time of 1 minute 23.7 seconds (dry track).
The Lancer Evolution VIII was also the first Evolution to be sold in the United States of America, spurred by the success of the Subaru Impreza WRX which had been released there just the year prior.
The Evolution VIII found its true competition in the Subaru Impreza WRX STI model the same year as the Evolution VIII's US introduction.
With its 2.0 liter, engine, the 2003 Evolution VIII was capable of achieving a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of 5.1 seconds.
However, the internal components for the American versions were largely stripped-down versions of the specifications for the Japanese Lancer Evolution VIII.
The 2005 US spec RS and GSR have the ACD standard, and the front helical limited-slip differential is now standard on all models.
The boost, timing, and tuning are also significantly lower than its Japanese counterpart, allowing it to adhere to the strict emissions regulations of the United States.
Starting in 2005, the US model Evos were also fitted with a 5500 rpm limit on launching in 1st gear to protect the drivetrain.
Furthermore, the US versions of the Lancer Evolution VIII 2003–2005 were given bulkier rear bumpers than their Japanese counterparts to accommodate US safety laws in the form of the metal rear crash bar.
The basic RS Edition does not come with power windows, locks, or mirrors, an audio system, rear wing, sound deadening material, map lamps or an anti-lock braking system.
Additionally, Evolution VIII MR Editions come equipped with a 6-speed transmission, Bilstein shocks, optional graphite grey color (unique to the Evolution VIII MR), optional BBS wheels and an optional vortex generator.
The MR Edition also received engine updates and reliability changes, the engine updates include larger turbo diameter mouth, updated cam profiles, lighter balance shafts and changed from single wastegate solenoid to dual solenoid.
Interior updates included black suede Recaro seats with higher side bolsters, carbon look dash trim, and MR badging on center console.
Mechanical changes saw S-AWC rear diff changes, a larger oil cooler core, ion coated piston rings, reinforced cylinder head and 5 layer head gasket compared to the 3 layer.
According to Mitsubishi Motors of North America (info from evolutionm.net) the total production sales in the U.S. for the Evolution VIII (2003–2005) was 12,846.
In 2004 production sales for the GSR was 1,254 and for the RS was 263 for a total of 1,517 for the 2004 model year.
In 2005 production sales for the GSR was 2,880, for the RS was 282, and for the MR was 1000 for a total of 4,162 for the 2005 model year.
Mitsubishi introduced the Lancer Evolution IX in Japan on March 3, 2005, and exhibited the car at the Geneva Motor Show for the European market the same day.
The 4G63 Inline-four engine has MIVEC technology (variable valve timing), and a revised turbocharger design boosting official power output at the crankshaft to and torque to .
The RS excluded features that came standard on the SE and MR models (stereo system, power windows and locks, rear wiper, rear wing, trunk lining and sound insulation).
Although the RS is the lightest of the group, the RS did not manage to outperform the standard IX and the MR around a road course (even if only by fractions of a second).
They are all capable of 0- times between 4.2–4.5 seconds, and can run times ranging from 12.6 to 13.3 (12.7–13.0 USA versions) seconds depending on the model/driver.
It is stripped of all the creature comforts, and other upgrades that drive the price up for features that the race teams would not require.
Additional revisions from 2005 included a closer gear ratio for the 5-speed manual transmission, new lighter Enkei wheels on non-MR models, a redesigned front end with a more efficient air dam (the most noticeable feature are the two small oval ducts to cool the intercooler pipes), and a new rear bumper with a diffuser undersurface to smooth out the airflow coming out of the car for non-US models.
HID headlights were no longer standard equipment on the base IX (nor were they standard on the 2005 VIII), and were available only in the SSL package (Sun, Sound, and Leather), SE (Special Edition) and MR trims.
In this setting, the ACD will almost immediately allow the center differential to go into a free state upon detecting a steering input.
Although the US versions did not come with the AYC, it did come with a rear 1.5way clutch type LSD (limited-slip differential), which limits the slip from both rear wheels causing less traction loss of the rear wheels.
In racing, Lancer Evolutions are not equipped with AYC or ACD because it is believed that better lap times are achieved by pure driver skill without any computer based assistance systems.
One of the changes from the previous iteration of the Lancer Evolution, was the change in the engine, the new 4G63 came with MIVEC, Mitsubishi's variable valve lifting technology, which drastically improves the fuel consumption by changing the valve timing on the intake cam.
While the new FQ-360 produced at 6,887 rpm (less horsepower than its predecessor), although it had more torque at at 3,200 rpm.
The Philippines had the Evolution IX until in August 2008, which was offered in two trims, the entry-level RS offering a 5-speed manual transmission, Brembo 17-in.
Brembo 16-in ventilated drum-in-disc (2-Pot) and almost the same features as to that of the GSR trim in the international version.
The MR was the top-of-the-line segment, which offered almost the same features as to that of the MR trim in the international version.
The automatic variant uses a non-MIVEC 4G63 sourced from the Evo VIII with a smaller turbo for increased low down torque.
This includes all GT, GT-A & MR versions even though Mitsubishi's 2005 Press Release said they intended to make 2500 Evolution Wagons.
Rarity: Only approximately 15% of these cars had the 6 speed manual transmissions combined with the Evo IX MIVEC engine whilst the remaining wagons were GT-A versions.
The manual transmissioned GT Evolution Wagon didn't weigh much more than the Evo IX sedan but the additional approx was due to its Steel turret, steel anti-intrusion bars in doors and the heavier foldable rear seat.
Evo Wagon GT-A are heavier (approx ) due to their automatic transmission and the additional weight described above in the GT wagon.
Even though the Evo Wagon was made exclusively for the Japanese market some of these cars have found new homes in Europe, UK, Russia, Asia and Australia.
Compared to the Evo IX sedan, the Evolution Wagon received front seat which had lower bolsters for easier entry and exit of the vehicle.
In 2005, Mitsubishi introduced a concept version of the next-gen Evolution at the 39th Tokyo Motor Show named the Concept-X, designed by Omer Halilhodžić at the company's European design centre.
The car also has a new full-time four-wheel drive system named S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control), an advanced version of Mitsubishi's AWC system used in previous generations.
It has replaced the Tiptronic automatic transmission, hence the SST version replaced the GT-A version (which was used in Evolution VII and Evolution IX Wagon).
The Evolution X went on sale October 1, 2007 in Japan, January 2008 in the USA, February in Canada (as the first version of Evolution in Canada) and in March 2008 in the UK.
Most recent news shows that Mitsubishi has been leaning towards the Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV hybrid drivetrain, explaining that the electric motors will act as a turbo for the Evolution.
It is said that the car will feature electric power from a hybrid drivetrain, maintaining performance of 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time under five seconds while cutting CO2 emissions.
It had special production badges that were put on the center console indicating which number it is of the 1,600 made for the U.S.
Soon after the end of the Lancer Evolution's production run, Mitsubishi announced that the already-outdated CY2A Lancer (of which the Lancer Evolution X is based on) would cease production in 2016 with no successor (except in Taiwan, Philippines, and other Chinese-speaking markets), ending Mitsubishi's involvement in the highly-competitive compact car segment.
The Lancer Evolution is unique among its competitors in the World Rally Championship in that it was a homologated Group A car slightly modified to be able to race competitively against the then newly formed World Rally Car (WRC) regulations from the 1997 season.
Lancer Evolutions were successful in WRC Rallies from 1996 to 1999, mostly in the hands of Finnish driver Tommi Mäkinen, clinching driver's titles in four-consecutive seasons from 1996 to 1999 (in Evolutions III, IV, V, and VI), and with the help of teammate Richard Burns in clinching the constructors' championship for the first, and thus far only time in 1998.
The Evolution however was replaced in late 2001 by the firm's first World Rally Car, named simply the Lancer Evolution WRC, which was driven by Makinen, Freddy Loix, Alister McRae and Francois Delecour with relatively limited success, until Mitsubishi took a sabbatical from the championship at the end of 2002.
Mitsubishi pulled out of the World Rally Championship after the 2005 season with the Lancer WRC05 still being driven by privateers including Italian former works driver Gigi Galli and the Swede, Daniel Carlsson, in the years following.
Proton Motors of Malaysia raced Evolution III's, Evolution V's (most notable with Proton 1784 where Malaysian driver Karamjit Singh won the 2002 Production Car WRC) and an Evolution VII as the Proton PERT in various Asia-Pacific Rally Championship and APAC rally series.
CyberEvo's CT9A chassis Lancer Evolution (now retired) previously held the OEM chassis record at Japan's Tsukuba Circuit for Time Attack, as well as the Australian record at Eastern Creek Raceway.
The Lancer Evolution VIII was used in Stock Car Brasil from 2005 to 2008, with Cacá Bueno won the series twice from 2006 to 2007.
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo has also been used by professional drifters in countries like Japan, Italy and Poland, with notable results being obtained by driver Naoto Suenaga of Team Orange.
The Evolution IX won the European Hill Climb Championship 10 times since 2007, with 9 wins also in the FIA International Hill Climb Cup.
She was the United States Libertarian Party candidate for vice-president in the 1996 U.S. presidential election, the running mate of presidential candidate Harry Browne.
In August 2019, Jorgensen filed with the FEC to run for the office of President of the United States as a Libertarian in the 2020 election.
He became party leader after UN leader and former Premier Antonio Barrette lost the 1960 election and resigned his seat and the UN leadership a few months later.
In January 1961, he was replaced as interim UN leader and leader of the Opposition by Antonio Talbot, and he did not run in the 1962 election.
Prior to his provincial political career, Prevost served as mayor of the city of Beauport (now part of Quebec City) from 1948 to 1952 and was worked for the Beauport School Board for nearly 20 years at high-class various positions.
Malibu Creek State Park is a state park of California, United States, preserving the Malibu Creek canyon in the Santa Monica Mountains.
It follows the creek down to the Pacific Ocean and includes the Adamson House and creek's mouth in the Malibu Lagoon at the beach.
In 1903 a dam was built nearby, creating a lake which was later purchased by 20th Century Fox and named Century Lake.
This created a contiguous block of public parkland from this park to Corral Canyon Park and will provide a path for the Coastal Slope Trail.
In 2018 substantial portions of the park, including the Reagan ranch and the Fox Ranch location for many films and television shows, were burned and destroyed by the Woolsey Fire.
Most recently an area was annexed to the park known as the King Gillette Ranch, with a landmark Spanish Colonial Revival style residence and estate buildings designed by renowned architect Wallace Neff in the 1920s for owner King C. Gillette, the early-20th-century inventor and manufacturer of the Gillette disposable razor.
It was later used by the Catholic Claretian Order as Claretville in the 1950s–60s, then by several other spiritual groups, and finally by Soka University in the 1990s until the recent purchase for the park.
The landscape was particularly seen in the opening credits for the show as helicopters carrying wounded approach the hospital with the recognizable Goat Buttes in the background.
Another long distance trail, the Coastal Slope Trail, is under construction and will pass through the remote southern tip of the park.
Countee Cullen (born Countee LeRoy Porter; May 30, 1903 – January 9, 1946) was an American poet, novelist, children's writer, and playwright, particularly well known during the Harlem Renaissance.
Although Cullen claimed to be born in New York City, he also frequently referred to Louisville, Kentucky as his birthplace on legal applications.
Cullen was brought to Harlem at age nine by Amanda Porter, believed to be his paternal grandmother, who cared for him until her death in 1917.
Reverend Frederick A. Cullen, pastor of Salem Methodist Episcopal Church, Harlem's largest congregation, and his wife, the former Carolyn Belle Mitchell, adopted the 15-year-old Countee Porter, although it may not have been official.
The influential minister would become president of the Harlem chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
At DeWitt, he was elected into the honor society, was editor of the weekly newspaper, and was elected vice-president of his graduating class.
Locke also sought to present the authentic natures of sex and sexuality through writing, creating a kind of relationship with those who felt the same.
Locke introduced Cullen to gay-affirming material, such as the work of Edward Carpenter, at a time when most gays were in the closet.
Letters between Cullen and Atkinson suggest a romantic interest, although there is no concrete evidence that they were in a homosexual relationship.
They met in the summer of 1923 when both were in college: she was at Fisk University and he was at NYU.
Cullen's parents owned a summer home in Pleasantville, New Jersey near the Jersey Shore, and Yolande and her family were likely also vacationing in the area when they first met.
Every detail of the wedding, including the rail car used for transportation and Cullen receiving the marriage license four days prior to the wedding day, was considered big news and was reported to the public by the African-American press.
After the newly wedded couple had a short honeymoon, Cullen traveled to Paris with his guardian/father, Frederick Cullen, and best man, Harold Jackman.
Her father wrote separately to Cullen, saying that he thought Yolande's lack of sexual experience was the reason the marriage did not work out.
The young, dashing Jackman was a school teacher and, thanks to his noted beauty, a prominent figure among Harlem's gay elite.
Jackman's diaries, letters, and outstanding collections of memorabilia are held in various depositories across the country, such as the Amistad Research Center at Tulane University in New Orleans and Atlanta University (now Clark Atlanta University) in Atlanta, Georgia.
At Cullen's death, Jackman requested that his collection in Georgia be renamed, from the Harold Jackman Collection to the Countee Cullen Memorial Collection, in honor of his friend.
After Jackman died of cancer in 1961, the collection at Clark Atlanta University was renamed as the Cullen-Jackman Collection to honor them both.
The Harlem Renaissance movement was centered in the cosmopolitan community of Harlem, in New York City, which had attracted talented migrants from across the country.
Countee Cullen's work intersects with the Harlem community and such prominent figures of the Renaissance as Duke Ellington and poet and playwright Langston Hughes.
The social, cultural, and artistic explosion known as the Harlem Renaissance was the first time in American history that a large body of literary, art and musical work was contributed by African-American writers and artists.
From 1934 until the end of his life, he taught English, French, and creative writing at Frederick Douglass Junior High School in New York City.
The Broadway musical, set in a poor black neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri, was criticized by black intellectuals for creating a negative image of black Americans.
He was a firm believer that poetry surpassed race and that it could be used to bring the races closer together.
Although race was a recurring theme in his works, Cullen wanted to be known as a poet not strictly defined by race.
Countee Cullen developed his Eurocentric style of writing from his exposure to Graeco-Roman Classics and English Literature, work he was exposed to while attending prestigious universities like New York University and Harvard.
Although Cullen's continued to develop themes of race and identity in his work, Cullen found artistic inspiration in ancient Greek and Roman literature.
Countee Cullen believed that African-American poets should work within the English conventions of poetry to prove to white Americans that African Americans could participate in these classic traditions.
He believed using a more traditional style of writing poetry would allow African-Americans to build bridges between the black and white communities.
It has been said that his poems fall into a variety of categories: those that with no mention were made of color.
Through Cullen's writing, readers can view his own subjectivity of his inner workings and how he viewed the Negro soul and mind.
He discusses the psychology of African Americans in his writings and gives an extra dimension which forces the reader to see a harsh reality of Americas past time.
During the Harlem Renaissance, Cullen, Hughes, and other poets were using their creative energy trying fuse Africa into the narrative of their African American lives.
By the time Cullen published this book of poetry, the concept of the Black Messiah was prevalent in other African-American writers such as Langston Hughes, Claude Mackay, and Jean Toomer.
(the poem portrays that the love is necessary to continue in life and that is basic to life as the corner stone or the fundamental of building home ).
NLX (short for New Low Profile eXtended) was a form factor proposed by Intel and developed jointly with IBM, DEC, and other vendors for low profile, low cost, mass-marketed retail PCs.
It was modernized and updated to allow support for the latest technologies while keeping costs down and fixing the main problems with LPX.
IBM, Gateway, and NEC produced a fair number of NLX computers in the late 1990s, primarily for Socket 370 (Pentium II-III and Celeron), but NLX never enjoyed the widespread acceptance that LPX had.
Most importantly, one of the largest PC manufacturers, Dell decided against using NLX and created their own proprietary motherboards for use in their slimline systems.
Although many of these computers and motherboards are still available secondhand, new production has essentially ceased, and in the slimline and small form factor market, NLX has been superseded by the Micro-ATX, FlexATX, and Mini-ITX form factors.
Lanškroun (; ), also known as Lanskron, Lanscron, Landeskrone or Kronland, is a town and municipality in the Ústí nad Orlicí District, Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic.
It is on the border between the former provinces of Bohemia and Moravia, and it has a population of approximately 10,000.
Until the expulsion of most of the German speaking population from the Czechoslovakia in 1945 (see the Beneš decrets), the majority of population of the town had been German: in 1930, there were 6497 inhabitants and among these 83% were German and 17% Czech.
A Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) is a system designed to alert pilots if their aircraft is in immediate danger of flying into the ground or an obstacle.
A CFIT accident is one where a properly functioning airplane under the control of a fully qualified and certified crew is flown into terrain, water or obstacles with no apparent awareness on the part of the crew.
Findings from these studies indicated that many such accidents could have been avoided if a warning device called a ground proximity warning system (GPWS) had been used.
As a result of these studies and recommendations from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), in 1974 the FAA required all large turbine and turbojet airplanes to install TSO-approved GPWS equipment.
In March 2000, the U.S. FAA amended operating rules to require that all U.S. registered turbine-powered airplanes with six or more passenger seats (exclusive of pilot and copilot seating) be equipped with an FAA-approved TAWS.
Prior to the development of GPWS, large passenger aircraft were involved in 3.5 fatal CFIT accidents per year, falling to 2 per year in the mid-1970s.
A 2006 report stated that from 1974, when the U.S. FAA made it a requirement for large aircraft to carry such equipment, until the time of the report, there had not been a single passenger fatality in a CFIT crash by a large jet in U.S. airspace.
Older TAWS, or deactivation of the EGPWS, or ignoring its warnings when airport is not in its database, or even the entire EGPWS altogether still leave aircraft vulnerable to possible CFIT incidents.
In April 2010, a Polish Air Force Tupolev Tu-154M aircraft crashed near Smolensk, Russia, in a possible CFIT accident killing all passengers and crew, including the Polish President.
In January 2008 a Polish Air Force Casa C-295M crashed in a CFIT accident near Mirosławiec, Poland, despite being equipped with EGPWS; the EGPWS warning sounds had been disabled, and the pilot-in-command was not properly trained with EGPWS.
If there is a dramatic change in terrain, such as a steep slope, GPWS will not detect the aircraft closure rate until it is too late for evasive action.
When the landing gear is down and landing flaps are deployed, the GPWS expects the airplane to land and therefore, issues no warning.
The occurrence of a GPWS alert typically happens at a time of high workload and nearly always surprises the flight crew.
Almost certainly, the aircraft is not where the pilot thinks it should be, and the response to a GPWS warning can be late in these circumstances.
Warning time can also be short if the aircraft is flying into steep terrain since the downward looking radio altimeter is the primary sensor used for the warning calculation.
The EGPWS improves terrain awareness and warning times by introducing the Terrain Display and the Terrain Data Base Look Ahead protection.
In commercial and airline operations there are legally mandated procedures that must be followed should an EGPWS caution or warning occur.
TAWS equipment is not required by the U.S. FAA in piston-engined aircraft, but optional equipment categorised as TAWS Type C may be installed.
Depending on the type of operation, TAWS is only required to be installed into turbine-powered aircraft with six or more passenger seats.
A smaller and less expensive version of EGPWS was developed by AlliedSignal (now merged with Honeywell) for general aviation and private aircraft.
For fast military aircraft, the high speed and low altitude that may frequently be flown make traditional GPWS systems unsuitable, as the blind spot becomes the critical part.
Thus, an enhanced system is required, taking inputs not only from the radar altimeter, but also from inertial navigation system (INS), Global Positioning System (GPS), and flight control system (FCS), using these to accurately predict the flight path of the aircraft up to ahead.
Digital maps of terrain and obstacle features are then used to determine whether a collision is likely if the aircraft does not pull up at a given pre-set g-level.
On May 5, 2016 a military GPWS called Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto-GCAS) equipped aboard an F-16 made a dramatic save after a trainee pilot lost consciousness from excessive G forces during basic fighter manoeuvre training.
In an approximately 55 degree nose down attitude at 8,760 ft and 652 KIAS (750 mph), the Auto-GCAS detected the aircraft was going to strike the terrain and executed an automatic recovery, saving the pilot's life.
Upon the death of his father Wihtred, the kingdom was ruled by his three sons, Æthelbert II, Eadberht I and Alric.
As king he issued further charters, confirmed a charter of his brother Eadberht I, and witnessed a charter of his nephew Eardwulf.
During the latter half of Æthelberht II's rule, Kent was under the overlordship of Mercia, but Æthelberht II maintained his position as king.
The State University of New York College at Plattsburgh (SUNY Plattsburgh or Plattsburgh State College) is a public liberal arts college in Plattsburgh, New York.
The college is part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system and is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
Former state politician and influential Plattsburgh businessman, Smith M. Weed, championed endlessly the cause to build a state normal school (a teachers' college) in the city of Plattsburgh.
After multiple proposals to the New York state senate going as far back as 1869, The final bill was formally proposed on January 12, 1888 by George S. Weed, Smith Weed's son and then state assemblyman.
With the strong backing of Assemblyman General Stephen Moffitt, the Plattsburgh Normal and Training School bill was passed by both houses of the New York State Legislature and signed into law by Governor David B. Hill in June 1889.
Plattsburgh State Normal and Training School officially opened with its first day of classes on the morning of September 3, 1890.
Aided by high winds and the building's well-oiled floors, the structure was engulfed in flames within a half-hour and demolished within an hour.
Six children who were being given music lessons were safely lowered out the second story window by their teacher Lyndon Street.
This half-day schooling arrangement was necessary for the survival of Plattsburgh Normal School but proved to be too disruptive to public school students, and the practice was discontinued in September 1930.
The new structure was completed in 1932, and in 1955 it was named Hawkins Hall in honor of George K. Hawkins, the principal of Plattsburgh Normal School from 1898 to 1933.
Plattsburgh State Normal and Training School was renamed State University of New York College at Plattsburgh when it joined the State University of New York (SUNY) system with its establishment in 1948.
When the school became part of the SUNY system, it changed from a two-year teacher's institution to a four-year, public liberal arts college.
During the 1960s and 1970s, SUNY Plattsburgh, as well as the whole State University of New York system, underwent rapid growth.
Many of the more modern buildings on campus were constructed during this time period, including the Angell College Center, Feinberg Library, and one low-rise and several high-rise dormitories.
In fall 2017, enrollment was 5,719 students, the first year of increased enrollments after several years of declining enrollment at the college.
In the 21st century, the campus has seen the completion of two new buildings: the Hudson Hall Annex and Au Sable Hall.
Prior to the founding of the SUNY system, the chief executive of the Plattsburgh State Normal and Training School was known as the principal.
When the SUNY system was founded in 1948 and the Normal School joined and became SUNY Plattsburgh, Charles Ward, who was principal at the time, became the president of the college.
The primary campus of the State University of New York at Plattsburgh is in the city of Plattsburgh, in the North Country region of upstate New York.
SUNY Plattsburgh also has a strong connection with Canada due to the Canada–US border being just north and the city of Montreal just over away.
The SUNY Plattsburgh main campus consists of 36 buildings on , in an area just west of the intersection of Broad Street and Rugar Street.
The center of campus is Amité Plaza, a large outdoor courtyard surrounded by many of the most essential buildings on campus, including the Angell College Center, the Myers Fine Arts Building, and Feinberg Library.
SUNY Plattsburgh also has remote sites, ranging from Valcour Educational Conference Center in nearby Peru, New York to a Branch Campus in Queensbury, New York (near Glens Falls).
Consisting of several cabins with beds, a lake, a low-ropes course, and a dining building, Twin Valleys is used for a variety of events, including RA training, dorm floor trips, and the annual Odyssey experience.
Enyedi is a member of the SUNY Plattsburgh College Council, which serves as an oversight and advisory body to the senior administration within the State University of New York system.
In accordance with New York State Education Law, nine of the ten Council members are appointed to seven-year terms by the Governor of New York, with the one student elected to the remaining post for a one-year term.
The college offers more than 60 baccalaureate degrees and a wide variety of minors within three principal academic divisions; Arts and Sciences, an internationally accredited School of Business, and Education, Health and Human Services.
In 2005, 4,061 students (75%) were categorized as White, 261 (5%) Black, 216 (4%) Hispanic, and 111 (2%) of Asian/Pacific Islands descent.
That year, SUNY Plattsburgh stated it was their goal to raise the number of minority students from 11% to 13% or greater by 2010.
The number of incoming freshmen who classified themselves as minority rose to 16% in 2007, 17.2% in 2009, and to 22.5% in 2011.
Over 90% of students originate from within New York state, 4% of students come from other states, and foreign students comprise 5% of the student population.
The remaining 10% of funds raised by The Plattsburgh Fund goes towards activities, improvements in campus technology and improvements in the welfare of the college.
Depending on the sport, Plattsburgh teams compete within the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) or the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC).
Cardinal Hockey is the most notable of Plattsburgh State sports, featuring perennial national powerhouses in both men's and women's ice hockey.
The women's hockey team has won six NCAA D-III Championships (2007, 2008, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017) and five ECAC Western Division Championships (2006, 2007, 2013, 2014, and 2015).
The 2013–2014 Lady Cardinals' team blew out the Norwich Cadets in the 2014 NCAA Championship in Ronald B. Stafford Arena, 9–2 in front of a crowd of over 1600.
The 2006–2007 Lady Cardinals' team that won the National Championship went undefeated (27–0–2); a feat accomplished for just the fourth time in NCAA hockey history (men's or women's at any level).
For the men's team, Tracey Belanger (1999), Jason Desloover (1998), Steve Moffat (1998), Lenny Pereira (1993, 1994), Joe Ferras (1987), Peter DeArmas (1985), Gaetan D'Anjou (1982), and Doug Kimura (1980, 1981) have been first team All-Americans.
For the women's team, Shannon Stewart (2013), Alison Era (2013), Sydney Aveson (2013), Teal Gove (2012), Kara Buehler (2011), Stephanie Moberg (2009) Bree Doyle (2006, 2007), Danielle Blanchard (2007, 2008), Jenn Clarke (2006), Erin O'Brien (2005), and Elizabeth Gibson (2004) have been first team All-Americans.
In 1990, the Cardinal Hockey Boosters Club began a tradition of fans throwing hundreds of tennis balls onto the ice after the first SUNY Plattsburgh goal was scored against the visiting SUNY Oswego Lakers.
It is believed that tennis balls were chosen because the Head Coach for Oswego's hockey team was also the school's tennis coach; because tennis balls matched the bright yellow color of the Lakers' jerseys; or because the tennis coach from Oswego State had left to work for Plattsburgh.
The SUNY Plattsburgh tradition of throwing tennis balls at home games against Oswego lasted for 18 years but, following Oswego's lead two years earlier, it was finally ended by school administrators on January 25, 2008.
Since that time, Cardinals basketball has gone to seven NCAA tournaments (1975, 1995, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2013), including a Final Four appearance in 1976.
Not only was the team's first playoff appearance in the 2013, but also the team's first ever hosted playoff game, first ever victory in a playoff game and first ever appearance in the SUNYAC championship.
That game resulted in a 9–2 loss to SUNY Cortland though SUNY Plattsburgh was the first team to hold SUNY Cortland under double digits that entire season.
The men's track and field team has boasted nineteen NCAA All-American athletes, including two Nationals Champions; Andy Hastings (1986) and Chris Verkey (1998).
Their mission is to voice the concerns and interests of the students, as well as provide services, programs, and activities for the college community.
Then-president of the college George Angell encouraged student Marty Mannix to pitch the idea for a new student run government to the administration and student body.
The HSA organizes and coordinates a wide variety of social activities to benefit the honors students, the campus, and the Plattsburgh community.
In 2007, the Associated Collegiate Press named Cardinal Points as a finalist for a Newspaper Pacemaker Award, the highest award given to college media.
Plattsburgh State also has a full color local magazine published annually, once called All Points North, now renamed Do North since 2013.
Organized by the Office of Housing and Residence Life, each residence hall has a residence hall council, each headed by a respective elected president, vice president, secretary, and representatives for each floor.
Using a budget provided from the Hall Council Fees portion of tuition, hall council members acting as a small municipal body organize events, parties, barbecues, tournaments, and sometimes competitions or collaborations with other residence halls on campus.
The player has to drive Alex through an obstacle course and get to the finishing point without other competitors trying to push him off his bike.
He replaced Yves Prévost as interim UN leader and leader of the Opposition after the latter had served in those capacities for a few months following the resignation of former Premier Antonio Barrette from the UN leadership.
In September 1961, Daniel Johnson, Sr. was elected as the new leader of the Union Nationale, thereby replacing interim party leader Talbot as the leader of the Opposition.
In computing, a zombie is a computer connected to the Internet that has been compromised by a hacker, computer virus or trojan horse program and can be used to perform malicious tasks of one sort or another under remote direction.
Zombie computers have been used extensively to send e-mail spam; as of 2005, an estimated 50–80% of all spam worldwide was sent by zombie computers.
This allows spammers to avoid detection and presumably reduces their bandwidth costs, since the owners of zombies pay for their own bandwidth.
Zombies can be used to conduct distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, a term which refers to the orchestrated flooding of target websites by large numbers of computers at once.
The large number of Internet users making simultaneous requests of a website's server is intended to result in crashing and the prevention of legitimate users from accessing the site.
The effectiveness of this tactic springs from the fact that intense flooding can be quickly detected and remedied, but pulsing zombie attacks and the resulting slow-down in website access can go unnoticed for months and even years.
Notable incidents of distributed denial- and degradation-of-service attacks in the past include the attack upon the SPEWS service in 2003, and the one against Blue Frog service in 2006.
An attack on grc.com is discussed at length, and the perpetrator, a 13-year-old probably from Sardis, Mississippi, was identified on the Gibson Research Web site.
Later that month, researcher Charlie Miller revealed a proof of concept text message worm for the iPhone at Black Hat Briefings.
Honorifics in Japanese may be used to emphasize social distance or disparity in rank, or to emphasize social intimacy or similarity in rank.
The system is very extensive, having its own special vocabulary and grammatical forms to express various levels of respectful, humble, and polite speech.
The choice of pronoun used, for example, will express the social relationship between the person speaking and the person being referred to.
When asking for cooperation: the first is usual and polite, the latter is very formal, but often found in writing, especially in posters or flyers.
Linguistically, the former two are referent honorifics, used for someone being talked about, and the last is an addressee honorific, used for someone being talked to.
Television presenters invariably use polite language, and it is the form of the language first taught to most non-native learners of Japanese.
In general, respectful language is directed at those in positions of power; for example, a superior at work, or a customer.
In general, humble language is used when describing one's actions or the actions of a person in one's in-group to others such as customers in business.
This is commonly achieved by adding the prefix or to a word and used in conjunction with the polite form of verbs.
Training in honorifics usually does not take place at school or university, so company trainees are trained in correct use of honorifics to customers and superiors.
For example, members of one's own company are referred to with humble forms when speaking with an external person; similarly, family members of the speaker are referred to humbly when speaking to guests.
Not speaking politely enough can be insulting, and speaking too politely can be distancing (and therefore also insulting) or seem sarcastic.
Children generally speak using plain informal speech, but they are expected to master politeness and honorifics by the end of their teenage years.
The standards are inconsistently applied towards foreigners, though most textbooks attempt to teach the polite style before considering to teach any of the other styles.
However, in many settings, such as in customer service, there will be little or no difference between male and female speech.
The informal style is used among friends, the distal or polite style by inferiors when addressing superiors and among strangers or casual acquaintances, and the formal style generally in writing or prepared speeches.
In some contexts, where both the imperfective (incomplete: present/future) and perfective (complete: past) tenses are acceptable, the perfective is considered more polite.
Since verbs come at the end of the sentence in Japanese, most of the factors of formality, politeness, and respect are expressed at the very end of each sentence.
Beyond simply increased politeness, this form is more formal, and is used when addressing a group, or as a general instruction, rather than directed at a particular person.
These prefixes are essentially untranslatable, but their use indicates a polite respect for the item named or the person to or about whom one is speaking.
As with honorific word forms and titles, honorific prefixes are used when referring to or speaking with a social superior, or speaking about a superior's actions or possessions, but not usually when referring to oneself or one's own actions or possessions, or those of one's in-group.
The former, an everyday term, uses the usual kan-on reading, while the later, a specialized religious term, uses the older go-on reading.
Overuse of honorific prefixes may be taken as pretentious or simpering, and, as with other polite speech, they are more used by women than men.
The most commonly heard use is (Chinese verb), which is used pervasively in recorded announcement in Japan (escalators, trains and subways, turning trucks), but other verbs are also used frequently, such as (Japanese verb).
While English has different registers, its levels of formality and politeness are not as formalized or as clearly defined as in Japanese.
Some convenience stores and fast-food restaurants teach their young and part-time employees to verbally interact with customers in strictly prescribed ways laid down in instruction manuals.
Manual keigo includes forms which would be considered incorrect or at least non-standard in terms of traditional usage (keigo and otherwise).
The Union of Brest, or Union of Brześć, was the 1595-96 decision of the Ruthenian Orthodox Church eparchies (dioceses) in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to break relations with the Eastern Orthodox Church and to enter into communion with, and place itself under the authority of the Pope of Rome.
Prior attempts to come to union with Catholic church were made on several occasions, including an instance in which the Metropolitan of Kiev Isidore signed the Union of Florence and technically united the Ruthenian Orthodox Church.
In 1588-1589 Patriarch of Constantinople Jeremias II traveled across the Eastern Europe, particularly the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Grand Duchy of Moscow, where he finally since 1458 acknowledged the Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow and consecrated Patriarch Job of Moscow (previously held by Isidore of Kiev).
Patriarch Jeremias II deposed the Metropolitan of Kiev Onesiphorus Divochka and on approval of the King of Poland Sigismund III consecrated Michael Rohoza as the new Metropolitan of Kiev, Halych, and all Rus'.
After leaving of Jeremias II, in 1590 four out of nine bishops of the Ruthenian Orthodox Church (Vilnius) gathered in synod in the city of Brest and signed a declaration of their readiness to sign the union with Rome composed 33 articles of Union, which were accepted by the Pope of Rome.
At first widely successful, within several decades it had lost much of its initial support, mainly due to its enforcement on the Orthodox parishes, which stirred several massive uprisings.
On request of Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski, Hypatius Pociej left his post of Greater Castellan of Brześć Litewski and accepted from the King appointment to the Wlodzimierz eparchy.
Prince Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski considered that the Metropolitan of Kijow should reach an agreement with eastern patriarchs, the Patriarch of Moscow, and Moldavian Orthodox Church for joint participation in agreement with the Latin Church.
Canon , of Vilnius, read in Ruthenian and Latin the letter of the Ruthenian episcopate to the Pope, dated 12 June 1595.
Cardinal Silvio Antoniani thanked the Ruthenian episcopate in the name of the Pope, and expressed his joy at the happy event.
Then Hipacy Pociej, Bishop of Volodymyr, in his own name and that of the Ruthenian episcopate, read in Latin the formula of abjuration of the Greek Schism, Bishop Cyril Terlecki of Lutsk read it in Ruthenian, and they affixed their signatures.
On the same day the bull ' was published, announcing to the Roman Catholic world the first time Ruthenians were in the unity of the Roman Church.
The bull recites the events which led to the union, the arrival of Pociej and Terlecki at Rome, their abjuration, and the concession to the Ruthenians that they should retain their own rite, saving such customs as were opposed to the purity of Catholic doctrine and incompatible with the communion of the Roman Church.
On 7 February 1596, Pope Clement VIII addressed to the Ruthenian episcopate the brief ', enjoining the convocation of a synod in which the Ruthenian bishops were to recite the profession of the Catholic Faith.
Various letters were also sent to the Polish king, princes, and magnates exhorting them to receive the Ruthenians under their protection.
Another bull, ', dated 23 February 1596, defined the rights of the Ruthenian episcopate and their relations in subjection to the Holy See.
The bishops asked to be dispensed from the obligation of introducing the Gregorian Calendar, so as to avoid popular discontent and dissensions, and insisted that the king should grant them, as of right, the dignity of senators.
The union was strongly supported by the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, Sigismund III Vasa, but opposed by some bishops and prominent nobles of Rus, and perhaps most importantly, by the nascent Cossack movement for Ukrainian self-rule.
In neuroscience, a silent synapse is an excitatory glutamatergic synapse whose postsynaptic membrane contains NMDA-type glutamate receptors but no AMPA-type glutamate receptors.
Calcium ion entry into the presynaptic terminal causes the presynaptic release of glutamate, which diffuses across the synaptic cleft, binding to glutamate receptors on the postsynaptic membrane.
There are four subtypes of glutamate receptors: AMPA receptors (AMPARs) (formerly known as quisqualate receptors), NMDA receptors (NMDARs), kainate receptors, and metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs).
When glutamate binds to AMPARs located on the postsynaptic membrane, they permit a mixed flow of Na and K to cross the cells membrane, causing a depolarization of the postsynaptic membrane.
Silent synapses release glutamate as do prototypical glutamatergic synapses, but their postsynaptic membranes contain only NMDA—and possibly mGlu—receptors able to bind glutamate.
Though AMPA receptors are not expressed in the postsynaptic membranes of silent synapses, they are stored in vesicles inside the postsynaptic cells, where they cannot detect extracellular glutamate, but can be quickly inserted into the postsynaptic cell membrane in response to a tetanizing stimulus.
The NMDAR is functionally similar to AMPAR except for two major differences: NMDARs carry ion currents composed of Na, K, but also (unlike most AMPAR) Ca; NMDARs also have a site inside their ion channel that binds magnesium ions (Mg).
This magnesium binding site is located in the pore of the channel, at a place within the electrical field generated by the membrane potential.
This is because the ion channel associated with this receptor is plugged by magnesium, acting like a cork in a bottle.
However, since the Mg is charged and is bound within the membrane's electric field, depolarization of the membrane potential above threshold can dislodge the magnesium, allowing current flow through the NMDAR channel.
Silent synapses were proposed as an explanation for differences in quantal content of excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) mediated by AMPARs and NMDARs in hippocampal neurons.
This is because they lack surface AMPAR to pass current at hyperpolarized potentials, but do possess NMDARs that will pass current at more positive potentials (because of relief of magnesium block).
Calmodulin activates calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), which — among other things — acts on AMPAR-containing vesicles near the postsynaptic membrane.
Once AMPARs are inserted, the synapse is no longer silent; activated synapses no longer require simultaneous pre- and postsynaptic activity in order to elicit EPSPs.
After initial activation (Early Long Term Potentiation), if the post synaptic neuron continues to be stimulated, it will adjust to become permanently excitable (Late Long Term Potentiation).
It does this by changing its level of AMPA Receptor production which are then inserted into the membrane at the synapse.
The characterization of silent synapses is an ongoing field of research and there are many things about them that are not yet known.
Some of what is currently accepted about the properties of silent synapses may still prove to be incorrect in whole or in part.
All four of these hypotheses had their adherents, but the first three were largely ruled out as a mechanism for synapse silence by work published before 2008.
Creepschool is a Swedish, French and Canadian animated series by Alphanim, Cinar, Happy Life and France 3 about four kids who find themselves at a spooky boarding school.
The basic concept was created by Torbjörn Jansson, which was then substantially re-worked and developed by the co-head-writers Kristina Mansfeld and Per Carlsson into the series it is today.
When four unsuspecting kids attend a remote, sinister-looking boarding school which is known as the Creepschool, they embark on an adventure into the fascinating, supernatural world.
He was first elected to the Quebec legislature representing Bellechasse in 1962 and served as Minister of Tourism and Fishing in the cabinets of Daniel Johnson and Jean-Jacques Bertrand from 1966 to 1970 and also as Minister responsible for Youth and Sport from 1968 to 1970.
Following the defeat of the Bertrand government in the 1970 provincial election, Loubier was a candidate in the June 1971 Union Nationale leadership convention defeating Marcel Masse on the third ballot to become party leader and leader of the Opposition.
He served on the board of directors of Megantic Metal and several firms in the steel industry before inheriting control of the family firm, Loubier Metal, from his father in 1985.
In biology, depolarization is a change within a cell, during which the cell undergoes a shift in electric charge distribution, resulting in less negative charge inside the cell.
During an action potential, the depolarization is so large that the potential difference across the cell membrane briefly reverses polarity, with the inside of the cell becoming positively charged.
The change in charge typically occurs due to an influx of sodium ions into a cell, although it can be mediated by an influx of any kind of cation or efflux of any kind of anion.
The resting potential generated by nearly all cells results in the interior of the cell having a negative charge compared to the exterior of the cell.
The transport of the ions across the plasma membrane is accomplished through several different types of transmembrane proteins embedded in the cell's plasma membrane that function as pathways for ions both into and out of the cell, such as ion channels, sodium potassium pumps, and voltage-gated ion channels.
There are many mechanisms by which a cell can establish a resting potential, however there is a typical pattern of generating this resting potential that many cells follow.
However, the process of generating the resting potential within the cell also creates an environment outside the cell that favors depolarization.
The sodium potassium pump is largely responsible for the optimization of conditions on both the interior and the exterior of the cell for depolarization.
By pumping three positively charged sodium ions (Na) out of the cell for every two positively charged potassium ions (K) pumped into the cell, not only is the resting potential of the cell established, but an unfavorable concentration gradient is created by increasing the concentration of sodium outside the cell and increasing the concentration of potassium within the cell.
Although there is an excessive amount of potassium in the cell and sodium outside the cell, the generated resting potential keeps the voltage-gated ion channels in the plasma membrane closed, preventing the ions that have been pumped across the plasma membrane from diffusing to an area of lower concentration.
Additionally, despite the high concentration of positively-charged potassium ions, most cells contain internal components (of negative charge), which accumulate to establish a negative inner-charge.
For this rapid change to take place within the interior of the cell, several events must occur along the plasma membrane of the cell.
While the sodium–potassium pump continues to work, the voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels that had been closed while the cell was at resting potential are opened in response to an initial change in voltage.
As the sodium ions rush back into the cell, they add positive charge to the cell interior, and change the membrane potential from negative to positive.
Once the interior of the cell becomes more positively charged, depolarization of the cell is complete, and the channels close again.
Potassium ions (K) begin to move down the electrochemical gradient (in favor of the concentration gradient and the newly established electrical gradient).
Potassium ions continue to move out of the axon so much so that the resting potential is exceeded and the new cell potential becomes more negative than the resting potential.
The resting potential is ultimately re-established by the closing of all voltage-gated ion channels and the activity of the sodium potassium ion pump.
Depolarization is essential to the functions of many cells in the human body, which is exemplified by the transmission of stimuli both within a neuron and between two neurons.
The reception of stimuli, neural integration of that stimuli, and the neuron's response to stimuli all rely upon the ability of neurons to utilize depolarization to transmit stimuli either within a neuron or between neurons.
By hyperpolarizing a neuron, an inhibitory stimulus results in a greater negative charge that must be overcome for depolarization to occur.
Excitation stimuli, on the other hand, increases the voltage in the neuron, which leads to a neuron that is easier to depolarize than the same neuron in the resting state.
The stimuli that have traveled down the dendrites converge at the axon hillock, where they are summed to determine the neuronal response.
If the sum of the stimuli reaches a certain voltage, known as the threshold potential, depolarization continues from the axon hillock down the axon.
The neurotransmitters that are released from the axon continue on to stimulate other cells such as other neurons or muscle cells.
After an action potential travels down the axon of a neuron, the resting membrane potential of the axon must be restored before another action potential can travel the axon.
The importance and versatility of depolarization within cells can be seen in the relationship between rod cells in the eye and their associated neurons.
In the rod cells, this depolarization is maintained by ion channels that remain open due to the higher voltage of the rod cell in the depolarized state.
This cycle is broken when rod cells are exposed to light; the absorption of light by the rod cell causes the channels that had facilitated the entry of sodium and calcium into the rod cell to close.
In the case of rod cells and neurons, depolarization actually prevents a signal from reaching the brain as opposed to stimulating the transmission of the signal.
The endothelium that lines blood vessels is known as vascular endothelium, which is subject to and must withstand the forces of blood flow and blood pressure from the cardiovascular system.
To withstand these cardiovascular forces, endothelial cells must simultaneously have a structure capable of withstanding the forces of circulation while also maintaining a certain level of plasticity in the strength of their structure.
Endothelial cells within blood vessels can alter the strength of their structure to maintain the vascular tone of the blood vessel they line, prevent vascular rigidity, and even help to regulate blood pressure within the cardiovascular system.
When an endothelial cell undergoes depolarization, the result is a marked decrease in the rigidity and structural strength of the cell by altering the network of fibers that provide these cells with their structural support.
Depolarization in vascular endothelium is essential not only to the structural integrity of endothelial cells, but also to the ability of the vascular endothelium to aid in the regulation of vascular tone, prevention of vascular rigidity, and the regulation of blood pressure.
There are drugs, called depolarization blocking agents, that cause prolonged depolarization by opening channels responsible for depolarization and not allowing them to close, preventing repolarization.
Alexander Mackenzie (March 1873 – April 1880) and Edward Blake (May 1880 – June 1887) were chosen by the party caucus.
Wilfrid Laurier (June 1887 – February 1919) was also chosen by caucus members with the party convention of 1893 ratifying his leadership.
After the 1919 convention, a system was adopted where the candidate with the fewest votes on a given ballot is automatically dropped.
Since 1919, time has also been given between ballots for candidates to announce if they wish to withdraw and throw their support to another candidate.
Future leadership elections were to be conducted according to a weighted One Member One Vote system in which all party members could cast ballots but in which they would be counted so that each riding had equal weight.
In addition to the card-carrying membership, registered supporters, a newly created category of Liberal sympathisers, given the right to vote in their constituency.
A leadership convention was scheduled for late March 1980, in Winnipeg, Manitoba but was cancelled due to the fall of the Progressive Conservative government on December 13, 1979 and the calling of the February 18, 1980 federal election.
As a result of the snap election call, the Liberal caucus and party executive persuaded Pierre Trudeau to rescind his resignation as party leader and lead the Liberals into the election.
Due to the selection of Michael Ignatieff as interim leader as a result of the 2008–2009 Canadian parliamentary dispute and an agreement by other candidates to withdraw in favour of Ignatieff, the 2009 convention served to ratify Ignatieff's leadership and was not a contested leadership vote.
Bob Rae and Dominic LeBlanc withdrew in December 2008 (five months prior to the convention) allowing Ignatieff to become leader by default.
They were held in the Grand Arena of the Central Lenin Stadium at Luzhniki (south-western part of Moscow) between July 24 and August 1.
Polish gold medallist pole vaulter Władysław Kozakiewicz showed an obscene bras d'honneur gesture in all four directions to the jeering Soviet public, causing an international scandal and almost losing his medal as a result.
There were numerous incidents and accusations of Soviet officials using their authority to negate marks by opponents to the point that IAAF officials found the need to look over the officials' shoulders to try to keep the events fair.
The Soviet Union's Jaak Uudmäe and Viktor Saneyev won the first two places in the triple jump, ahead of Brazil's world record holder João Carlos de Oliveira.
Campbell insisted he hadn't scraped, and it was alleged the officials intentionally threw out his and de Oliveira's best jumps to favor the Soviets, similarly to a number of other events.
In operation, light enters the large rectangular face of the prism, undergoes total internal reflection twice from the sloped faces, and exits again through the large rectangular face.
An image travelling through a Porro prism is rotated by 180° and exits in the opposite direction offset from its entrance point.
The net effect of the prism system is a beam parallel to but displaced from its original direction, with the image rotated 180°.
Commonly, the two components of the double Porro system are cemented together, and the prisms may be truncated to save weight and size.
While a single porro prism can be constructed to work as well as a roof prism, it is seldom used as such.
The distinction between a roof prism and a porro prism is that for the roof prism the roof edge lies in the same plane as entrance and exit beam, while for a porro prism the (left out) roof edge is orthogonal to the plane formed by the beams.
Furthermore, the roof prism has no displacement and a deviation typically between 45° and 90°, while in a single porro prism the beam is typically deviated by 180° and displaced by a distance of at least one beam diameter.
Bohemond IV of Antioch, also known as Bohemond the One-Eyed (; 1175–1233), was Count of Tripoli from 1187 to 1233, and Prince of Antioch from 1201 to 1216 and from 1219 to 1233.
The dying Raymond III of Tripoli offered his county to Bohemond's elder brother, Raymond, but their father sent Bohemond to Tripoli in late 1187.
Saladin, the Ayyubid sultan of Egypt and Syria, conquered the county, save for the capital and two fortresses, in summer 1188.
Raymond-Roupen's mother, Alice, was the niece of Leo I of Cilicia who persuaded the Antiochene noblemen to acknowledge Raymond-Roupen's right to succeed his grandfather.
After his father died in April 1201, Bohemond seized Antioch with the support of the burghers, the Knights Templar and Hospitallers, and the Italian merchants.
Bohemond made an alliance with Az-Zahir Ghazi, the Ayyubid emir of Aleppo, and Kaykaus I, the Seljuq sultan of Rum, who often invaded Cilicia during the following years, to prevent Leo I from attacking Antioch.
Conflicts between Bohemond and the Latin Patriarchs of Antioch enabled Raymond-Roupen to seize Antioch in 1216, but Bohemond regained the principality in 1219.
After Leo I's death, Bohemond tried to secure Cilicia to his younger son, Philip, but Constantine of Baberon, who had administered Cilicia during the previous years, imprisoned Philip in 1224.
Bohemond's widowed father married a relative of the Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos, Theodora, but he repudiated her shortly after Manuel's death in 1180.
Bohemond III of Antioch sent Bohemond to Tripoli, because the union of Antioch and Tripoli under one monarch could jeopardize the defence of both crusader states.
The dying count, who was a member of the House of Toulouse, also prescribed that should another member of his family come from Toulouse, Bohemond should cede the County of Tripoli to him.
Charters issued during the first years of Bohemond's rule imply that his elder brother was regarded a titular count of Tripoli for a while.
After Saladin conquered almost the whole Kingdom of Jerusalem in the second half of 1187, Queen Sibylla sought shelter in Tripoli, which became a center of her supporters.
The noblemen who condemned her husband, Guy of Lusignan, for the fall of the kingdom, joined Conrad of Montferrat at Tyros.
He started his military campaign against Tripoli in May 1188, but the arrival of the fleet of William II of Sicily saved the town.
After Saladin captured Tortosa and Jabala (present-day Tartus and Jableh in Syria) in July, only Tripoli, Krak des Chevaliers, and the citadel at Tortosa remained under Christian rule in the county.
Richard I of England could not reoccupy Jerusalem during the Third Crusade, but he ensured the survival of the Kingdom of Jerusalem before leaving the Holy Land on 9 October 1192.
Leo also forced Bohemond III to surrender Antioch to him, but the Latin and Greek burghers formed a commune and prevented the Armenian soldiers from seizing the town.
Bohemond hurried from Tripoli to Antioch at the head of his army to help his brother, compelling the Armenian troops to return to Cilicia.
On the archbishop's demand, Bohemond III declared Raymond-Roupen his heir and ordered the Antiochene noblemen to swear fealty to the boy.
Raymond-Roupen was the only son of the first-born son of Bohemond III and thus heir by primogeniture, but Bohemond was Bohemond III's closest male relative and so heir by proximity of blood.
In early 1198, Bohemond marched to Antioch and gained the support of the military orders and the Italian merchants, promising new grants to them.
The commune also acknowledged his claim to rule, because the burghers feared that the Armenians' influence would increase if Raymond-Roupen succeeded his grandfather.
Bohemond returned to Tripoli shortly after his claim was confirmed, because Leo of Cilicia broke into the principality to restore Bohemond III.
Bohemond made an alliance with Az-Zahir Ghazi, the Ayyubid emir of Aleppo, and Kaykaus I, the Seljuq sultan of Rum, who forced the Armenian troops to return to Cilicia.
Bohemond declined to meet the papal legate, stating that the patriarchs of Antioch and Jerusalem had excommunicated him for his debate with the Hospitallers.
Gaetani mediated a reconciliation between Bohemond and the Hospitallers, but Bohemond insisted that the papal legate could not be mentioned in the agreement, because the Holy See could not make a judgement about feudal rights in the principality.
Taking advantage of a conflict between the patriarch and the papal legate, Peter Capuano, Bohemond restored the Eastern Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch, Symeon II, in early 1206 or 1207.
Peter of Angoulême and the papal legate were reconciled and the patriarch excommunicated Bohemond, Symeon and the commune with the approval of the Holy See.
Bohemond continued to support the Eastern Orthodox Patriarch and did not allow Peter of Ivrea, the new Latin Patriarch of Antioch, to visit his see.
He also debated the right of the Holy See to make a judgement about the succession in Antioch, stating that the principality was a fief of the Latin Emperors of Constantinople.
Cilician soldiers who tried to seize a caravan wounded Guillaume de Chartres, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, in a skirmish on the plains near Antioch in 1211.
At the time, the Assassins were tributaries to the Hospitallers and Bohemond suspected the Hospitallers had been involved in the murder.
After Bohemond and the Templars laid siege their fortress at Khawabi, the Assassins sought assistance from Bohemond's old ally, Az-Zahir Ghazi.
Peter of Ivrea, the Hospitallers and Acharie of Sermin, who was the senechal of Antioch and head of the commune, started negotiations with Leo of Cilicia about the surrender of Antioch to Raymond-Roupen.
Before long, Bohemond granted Jabala (which was still to be conquered) to the Templars although Raymond-Roupen had promised the town to the Hospitallers.
Constantine of Baberon, the regent for Isabella of Cilicia, offered her hand to Bohemond's son, Philip, because he needed Bohemond's assistance against Kayqubad I, Sultan of Rum.
Although Bohemond's son had already been poisoned, Constantine of Baberon promised that Philip would be released if Bohemond come to Cilicia.
Frederick demanded an oath of fealty for Antioch and Tripoli from Bohemond, but Bohemond feigned a nervous breakdown and returned to Nephin.
Bohemond again met Frederick in Acre in 1229, but Bohemond's realms were not included in the peace treaty between Frederick and Al-Kamil, sultan of Egypt, on 18 February 1229.
He authorized Gerald of Lausanne, Patriarch of Jerusalem, to lift the ban if Bohemond agreed to make peace with the Hospitallers.
With the mediation of Gerald and the Ibelins, Bohemond and the Hospitallers made a treaty which was signed on 26 October 1231.
Bohemond confirmed the Hospitallers' right to hold Jabala and a nearby fortress and granted them money fiefs in both Tripoli and Antioch.
Before long, Gerald of Lausanne lifted the excommunication and sent the treaty to Rome to be confirmed by the Holy See.
John of Ibelin, who was the leader of Emperor Frederick's opponents in the kingdoms of Jerusalem and Cyprus, tried to convince Bohemond to support their cause.
Bohemond died in March 1233, a few weeks before the pope's confirmation of his treaty with the Hospitallers came to Tripoli.
Bohemond's and Plaisance's third son, Philip, who was the first husband of Isabella of Cilicia, ruled the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia between 1222 and 1224.
Bohemond's youngest son, Henry, married Isabella of Cyprus; their son, Hugh inherited Cyprus in 1267 and the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1268.
Bohemond's second wife, Melisende de Lusignan, was the youngest daughter of Aimery, King of Cyprus and Jerusalem, and Isabella I of Jerusalem.
Roger Nordlund (born November 19, 1957) is a politician in the Åland Islands, an autonomous and unilingually Swedish territory of Finland.
Nordlund is a member of the Åland Centre party and is currently serving as Deputy Premier Government of Åland and Minister of Finance.
Foodborne illness (also foodborne disease and colloquially referred to as food poisoning) is any illness resulting from the spoilage of contaminated food, pathogenic bacteria, viruses, or parasites that contaminate food, as well as toxins such as poisonous mushrooms and various species of beans that have not been boiled for at least 10 minutes.
For contaminants requiring an incubation period, symptoms may not manifest for hours to days, depending on the cause and on quantity of consumption.
Longer incubation periods tend to cause sufferers to not associate the symptoms with the item consumed, so they may misattribute the symptoms to gastroenteritis, for example.
Bouts of vomiting can be repeated with an extended delay in between, because even if infected food was eliminated from the stomach in the first bout, microbes, like bacteria, (if applicable) can pass through the stomach into the intestine and begin to multiply.
Some types of microbes stay in the intestine, some produce a toxin that is absorbed into the bloodstream, and some can directly invade deeper body tissues.
There is a consensus in the public health community that regular hand-washing is one of the most effective defenses against the spread of foodborne illness.
Furthermore, foodborne illness can be caused by pesticides or medicines in food and natural toxic substances such as poisonous mushrooms or reef fish.
In the past, bacterial infections were thought to be more prevalent because few places had the capability to test for norovirus and no active surveillance was being done for this particular agent.
However, in some cases, such as Staphylococcal food poisoning, the onset of illness can be as soon as 30 minutes after ingesting contaminated food.
This causes intense vomiting including or not including diarrhea (resulting in staphylococcal enteritis), and staphylococcal enterotoxins (most commonly staphylococcal enterotoxin A but also including staphylococcal enterotoxin B) are the most commonly reported enterotoxins although cases of poisoning are likely underestimated.
Prevention is mainly the role of the state, through the definition of strict rules of hygiene and a public services of veterinary surveying of animal products in the food chain, from farming to the transformation industry and delivery (shops and restaurants).
In August 2006, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved Phage therapy which involves spraying meat with viruses that infect bacteria, and thus preventing infection.
This has raised concerns, because without mandatory labelling consumers would not be aware that meat and poultry products have been treated with the spray.
Many forms of bacterial poisoning can be prevented by cooking it sufficiently, and either eating it quickly or refrigerating it effectively.
Techniques that help prevent food borne illness in the kitchen are hand washing, rinsing produce, preventing cross-contamination, proper storage, and maintaining cooking temperatures.
In general, freezing or refrigerating prevents virtually all bacteria from growing, and heating food sufficiently kills parasites, viruses, and most bacteria.
For example, an outbreak which occurred in the UK in 1960 caused the death of 100,000 turkeys which had consumed aflatoxin-contaminated peanut meal.
In the US, more than 50% of cases are viral and noroviruses are the most common foodborne illness, causing 57% of outbreaks in 2004.
Foodborne viral infection are usually of intermediate (1–3 days) incubation period, causing illnesses which are self-limited in otherwise healthy individuals; they are similar to the bacterial forms described above.
In evolutionary terms, animals can escape being eaten by fleeing; plants can use only passive defenses such as poisons and distasteful substances, for example capsaicin in chili peppers and pungent sulfur compounds in garlic and onions.
Most animal poisons are not synthesised by the animal, but acquired by eating poisonous plants to which the animal is immune, or by bacterial action.
Another newspaper article from 1944 told of more than 150 persons being hospitalized in Chicago with ptomaine poisoning apparently from rice pudding served by a chain of restaurants.
The delay between the consumption of contaminated food and the appearance of the first symptoms of illness is called the incubation period.
This ranges from hours to days (and rarely months or even years, such as in the case of listeriosis or bovine spongiform encephalopathy), depending on the agent, and on how much was consumed.
If symptoms occur within one to six hours after eating the food, it suggests that it is caused by a bacterial toxin or a chemical rather than live bacteria.
During the incubation period, microbes pass through the stomach into the intestine, attach to the cells lining the intestinal walls, and begin to multiply there.
Some types of microbes stay in the intestine, some produce a toxin that is absorbed into the bloodstream, and some can directly invade the deeper body tissues.
The infectious dose is the amount of agent that must be consumed to give rise to symptoms of foodborne illness, and varies according to the agent and the consumer's age and overall health.
An unusually high stomach pH level (low acidity) greatly reduces the number of bacteria required to cause symptoms by a factor of between 10 and 100.
In the United States, using FoodNet data from 2000–2007, the CDC estimated there were 47.8 million foodborne illnesses per year (16,000 cases for 100,000 inhabitants) with 9.4 million of these caused by 31 known identified pathogens.
This data pertains to reported medical cases of 23 specific pathogens in the 1990s, as opposed to total population estimates of all food-borne illness for the United States.
A study by the Australian National University, published in November 2014, found in 2010 that there were an estimated 4.1 million cases of foodborne gastroenteritis acquired in Australia on average each year, along with 5,140 cases of non-gastrointestinal illness.
Approximately 25% (90% CrI: 13%–42%) of the 15.9 million episodes of gastroenteritis that occur in Australia were estimated to be transmitted by contaminated food.
Including gastroenteritis, non-gastroenteritis and sequelae, there were an estimated annual 31,920 (90% CrI: 29,500–35,500) hospitalisations due to foodborne illness and 86 (90% CrI: 70–105) deaths due to foodborne illness circa 2010.
In this study, similar methods of assessment were applied to data from circa 2000, which showed that the rate of foodborne gastroenteritis had not changed significantly over time.
By applying this proportion of episodes due to food to the incidence of gastroenteritis circa 2000, there were an estimated 4.3 million (90% CrI: 2.2–7.3 million) episodes of foodborne gastroenteritis circa 2000, although credible intervals overlap with 2010.
Taking into account changes in population size, applying these equivalent methods suggests a 17% decrease in the rate of foodborne gastroenteritis between 2000 and 2010, with considerable overlap of the 90% credible intervals.
In the United States, where people eat outside the home frequently, 58% of cases originate from commercial food facilities (2004 FoodNet data).
An outbreak is defined as occurring when two or more people experience similar illness after consuming food from a common source.
Often, a combination of events contributes to an outbreak, for example, food might be left at room temperature for many hours, allowing bacteria to multiply which is compounded by inadequate cooking which results in a failure to kill the dangerously elevated bacterial levels.
However, more and more, outbreaks are identified by public health staff from unexpected increases in laboratory results for certain strains of bacteria.
Outbreak detection and investigation in the United States is primarily handled by local health jurisdictions and is inconsistent from district to district.
In postwar Aberdeen (1964) a large-scale (>400 cases) outbreak of typhoid occurred, caused by contaminated corned beef which had been imported from Argentina.
The corned beef was placed in cans and because the cooling plant had failed, cold river water from the Plate estuary was used to cool the cans.
This meat was then sliced using a meat slicer in a shop in Aberdeen, and a lack of cleaning the machinery led to spreading the contamination to other meats cut in the slicer.
These included the death of 19 patients in the Stanley Royd Hospital outbreak and the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, mad cow disease) outbreak identified in the 1980s.
Anne Hardy argues that widespread public education of food hygiene can be useful, particularly through media (T.V cookery programmes) and advertisement.
In 2001, the Center for Science in the Public Interest petitioned the United States Department of Agriculture to require meat packers to remove spinal cords before processing cattle carcasses for human consumption, a measure designed to lessen the risk of infection by variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.
The petition was supported by the American Public Health Association, the Consumer Federation of America, the Government Accountability Project, the National Consumers League, and Safe Tables Our Priority.
A report issued in June 2018 by NBC's Minneapolis station using research by both the CDC and the Minnesota Department of Health concluded that foodborne illness is on the rise in the U.S.
The World Health Organization Department of Food Safety and Zoonoses (FOS) provides scientific advice for organizations and the public on issues concerning the safety of food.
Its mission is to lower the burden of foodborne disease, thereby strengthening the health security and sustainable development of Member States.
WHO works closely with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to address food safety issues along the entire food production chain—from production to consumption—using new methods of risk analysis.
INFOSAN has been connecting national authorities from around the globe since 2004, with the goal of preventing the international spread of contaminated food and foodborne disease and strengthening food safety systems globally.
Membership to INFOSAN is voluntary, but is restricted to representatives from national and regional government authorities and requires an official letter of designation.
The operational definition of a food safety authority includes those authorities involved in: food policy; risk assessment; food control and management; food inspection services; foodborne disease surveillance and response; laboratory services for monitoring and surveillance of foods and foodborne diseases; and food safety information, education and communication across the farm-to-table continuum.
Bohemond V of Antioch (1199 − January 17, 1252) was ruler of the Principality of Antioch, a crusader state, from 1233 to his death.
Like his father before him, Bohemond had a notorious dislike for the Knights Hospitaller and the neighbouring Kingdom of Armenia, preferring an alliance with the Knights Templar.
Since his son and successor was only 15 at the time, he succeeded under the regency of the Dowager Princess, Luciana.
This made her unpopular, so the young Bohemond VI gained the approval of King Louis IX of France, who was on Crusade at the time, to get permission from Pope Innocent IV to come of age a few months early.
All of the original features of the building have been retained and further extensive restoration work has been carried out at the new owner's expense.

3D Movie Maker (commonly shortened to 3DMM) is a children's computer program developed by Microsoft Home's Microsoft Kids subsidiary in 1995.
Using the program, users can make films by placing 3D characters and props into pre-rendered environments, as well as adding actions, sound effects, music, text, speech and special effects.
The program features two helper characters to guide users through the various features of the program: The character McZee (voiced by Michael Shapiro) provides help throughout the studio while his assistant Melanie provides other various tutorials.
The models and backgrounds were done by Illumin8 Digital Pictures (a now-defunct graphics studio) using Softimage modeling software, while the cinematic introduction and help sequences were done by Productions Jarnigoine, a now-inactive production company founded by Jean-Jacques Tremblay.
In 1998, a user named Space Goat created the website 3dmm.com that allows users to upload movies and mods for 3DMM.
By default, 40 actors/actresses are available (each with 4 different costumes and a number of actions), as well as 20 different props.
Many sample voice and MIDI music clips are included, but original voices can be recorded using a microphone while external .wav and .MIDI files can be imported.
3DMM stores the positions of the characters and objects for each frame; it moves at about 6 to 8 frames per second, which makes the movies choppier than expected.
The finished movie can only be viewed inside 3DMM using the virtual auditorium or the studio, unless converted to a video file format with a third-party utility.
This eventually inspired him to create a full movie using the program, called The Blue Shell Incident, which is around 30 minutes long, and is made with models not included in the base program, like Mario, Luigi, Garfield, and others.
Virtual 3D Movie Maker (or V3DMM for short) is a 3rd party expansion management program that allows users to include their own customized expansions in their movies.
Francis Piol Bol Bok (born February 1979), a Dinka tribesman and native of South Sudan, was a slave for ten years but became an abolitionist and author living in the United States.
On May 15, 1986, he was captured and enslaved at the age of seven during an Arab militia raid on the village of Nyamlel in South Sudan during the Second Sudanese Civil War.
Bok lived in bondage for ten years before escaping imprisonment in Kurdufan, Sudan, followed by a journey to the United States by way of Cairo, Egypt.
His earliest steps towards the United States were helped by a Northern Sudanese Muslim family that believed that slavery was wrong and provided him a bus ticket to Khartoum.
Upon arriving in Khartoum, Bok was aided by a fellow Dinka tribesman and members of the Fur people, and his trip to the United States was paid for by members of the Lutheran church.
His first point of contact in the United States was a refugee from Somalia who helped him get settled in Fargo, North Dakota.
Bok has testified before the United States Senate and met with George W. Bush, Madeleine Albright and Condoleezza Rice, telling them his story of slavery.
He has been honored by the United States Olympic Committee, the Boston Celtics and colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada.
Francis now lives in the U.S. state of Kansas, where he works for the American Anti-Slavery Group (AASG) and Sudan Sunrise, an organization that works for peace in Sudan.
Francis Bok was raised in a large Catholic family of cattle herders in the Dinka village of Gurion in Southern Sudan.
When Bok was captured at the age of 7 on May 15, 1986, he could not count beyond 10 and knew very little of the outside world.
Bok was captured after his mother, Adut Al Akok, had sent him to the village of Nyamlell to sell eggs and peanuts in the village market with some older siblings and neighbors.
This was Bok's first trip to the village without his mother, and it was the first time he was allowed to sell some of the family's goods at the market.
Bok went to the market, where he heard adults say that they had seen smoke coming from nearby villages and had heard gunfire in the distance.
The raiders were part of an Islamic militia from the northern part of Sudan that conducted periodic raids on the villages of their Dinka neighbors, who were Christians or animists of Sub-Saharan African descent.
Seven-year-old Bok was captured by Giemma, a member of the slave hunting militia, who forced him to join a caravan of slaves, stolen produce, livestock and wares that the militia had captured in their raid of the Dinka settlement.
He had to take them to pastures in the area and to local watering holes, where he saw other Dinka boys who were also forced to tend herds of livestock.
He began to suspect that his life was going to change forever and that his father was not going to be able to save him.
His attempts to speak to the other Dinka boys were futile, as they were speaking Arabic, which he could not understand; they also seemed afraid to speak to him.
According to Bok, as he grew older, Giemma and Hamid began to place more trust in his abilities as a herdsman.
Care of the cattle, horses and camels was passed to Bok and he was able to spend more time alone with the animals.
In his autobiography, Francis states that although he was forced to convert to Islam, that he never stopped praying to God for strength to get him through his ordeal.
Bok attempted to escape once again just two days later, when he fled in the opposite direction of his previous escape.
He stopped for water at a local stream crossing, where he was spotted by Giemma who happened to be there as well.
Francis was beaten again, but Giemma chose not to kill him, as Francis had become too valuable to the family as a slave.
Bok finally escaped from Giemma when he was 17 years old by walking through the forest to the nearby market town of Mutari.
Bok escaped from the police by simply taking their donkeys to the well, tying them, and leaving them behind as he walked into the crowded marketplace.
Abdah thought that slavery was wrong and agreed to transport Bok to the town of Ed-Da'Ein in the back of his truck amongst his cargo of grain and onions.
Bok stayed with Abdah, his wife and two sons for two months while Abdah tried to find a way to take Bok to Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan.
When he could not find a friend to provide passage to Khartoum, Abdah bought a bus ticket to Khartoum for Bok.
Fortunately for Francis, another stranger helped him find his way to his fellow Dinka tribespeople in Khartoum in the Jabarona settlement.
Jabarona was filled with Dinka refugees who had fled the fighting in the south of Sudan and were forced to live together in sub-standard conditions.
Bok settled among people who were from the Aweil area of North Bahr al Ghazal and began using his Christian name of Francis once again.
Slavery in Sudan is a subject that was largely denied by the government in Khartoum and anybody that spoke of it could be arrested or even killed.
Through the help of some Dinka tribesman he was able to acquire a Sudanese passport on the black market and obtain a ticket for passage to Cairo.
While staying at Sacred Heart, Bok began to learn some English and made important contacts among the Dinka population of Cairo.
He eventually moved out of the church compound and into an apartment with other Dinka who were also seeking UN refugee status in order to leave Africa for the United States, Great Britain or Australia.
Bok applied for and received UN refugee status on September 15, 1999, and after several months of waiting, the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service agreed to allow Francis to move to the U.S. Bok flew from Cairo to New York City on August 13, 1999, and from there he flew to Fargo, North Dakota.
His journey was sponsored by Lutheran Social Services and a United Methodist Church, both worked together to provide an apartment for Francis in Fargo and helped him find a job.
It was while living in Ames that he was contacted by Charles Jacobs, founder of the American Anti-Slavery Group based in Boston, Massachusetts.
Jesse Sage, associate director of the American Anti-slavery Group, and Jacobs persuaded Bok to move to Boston to work with the AASG.
He was initially hesitant to leave his new friends in Ames, but according to Bok, the people at AASG were persistent.
Two days after his speech in Roxbury, Bok was asked to meet with supporters of AASG on the steps of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C.
He returned to Washington on September 28, 2000, and became the first escaped slave to speak before the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
Francis was invited to Washington again in 2002 for the signing of the Sudan Peace Act and met with President George W. Bush.
It was during this trip to the White House that Bok became the first former slave to meet with a U.S. President since the 19th century.
Francis Bok has spoken at churches and universities throughout the United States and Canada and he has helped launch the American Anti-Slavery Group's website iAbolish.org at a Jane's Addiction concert before an audience of 40,000 on April 28, 2001.
Bok has also been honored by the Boston Celtics and was chosen to carry the Olympic Torch past Plymouth Rock prior to the 2002 Winter Olympics.
Bohemond VI (–1275), also known as Bohemond the Fair (), was the Prince of Antioch and Count of Tripoli from 1251 until his death.
He was succeeded by his son Bohemond VII, nominal prince of Antioch (though Antioch had ceased to exist) and count of Tripoli.
This made her unpopular, so the young Bohemond VI, through the approval of King Louis IX of France, who was on Crusade at the time, gained permission from Pope Innocent IV to inherit the principality a few months early.
At Louis's suggestion, in 1254 the 17-year-old Bohemond married Sibylla of Armenia, daughter of Hetoum I of Armenia, which ended the power struggle between the two states that had been started by Bohemond IV, his grandfather.
This involved him in a dispute between the Genoese and the Venetians, the War of St. Sabas, which started in 1256 and drew in many of the nobles in the Holy Land, wasted valuable resources and cost tens of thousands of lives.
The Embriaco lords of Gibelet (also known as Jebail or Byblos, a small nearby territory) were resolute opponents of the princes of Antioch.
Bohemond tried to persuade the Genoese to support the Venetians, but the Embriaco family rebelled against him in 1258 and escalated the situation to a civil war which lasted off and on for decades.
Bohemond was able to achieve some measure of peace by having the leader of the revolt, Bertrand Embriaco (a cousin of Guy I Embriaco), murdered by some serfs, but the bitterness continued.
Bartholomew's brother William, along with his cousin the lord of Gibelet, were eventually defeated by Bohemond's son, Bohemond VII, and then completely driven out by the Muslims.
The Mongols had a deserved reputation of ruthlessness – if settlements in their path did not surrender immediately, the inhabitants were slaughtered by the tens of thousands.
Hetoum I of Armenia, Bohemond's father-in-law, prudently decided to subject to Mongol authority as well, sending his brother Sempad to the Mongol court in Karakorum in 1247 to negotiate the details.
Historical accounts, quoting from the writings of the medieval historian Templar of Tyre, would often dramatically describe the three Christian rulers (Hetoum, Bohemond, and Kitbuqa) entering the city of Damascus together in triumph, though modern historians have questioned this story as apocryphal.
The Mongols rewarded Bohemond for his allegiance, and returned to him various areas that had been lost to the Muslims, such as Lattakieh, Darkush, Kafr Debbin, and Jabala.
In return for the lands, Bohemond had to install the Greek patriarch Euthymius at Antioch, in place of the Latin patriarch, since the Mongols were trying to strengthen ties with the Byzantine Empire.
This earned Bohemond the enmity of the Latins at Acre, and Bohemond was excommunicated by the Patriarch of Jerusalem, Jacques Pantaléon.
Pope Alexander IV put Bohemond's case on the agenda of his upcoming council (as well as the cases of Hetoum I of Armenia, and Daniel of Russia), but died in 1261, just months before the Council could be convened.
For a new Pope, the choice fell to Pantaléon, who took the name Pope Urban IV, and after hearing Bohemond's explanation for his submission to the Mongols, suspended his excommunication sentence.
The Mamluks advanced northward from Cairo to engage the Mongols, along the way negotiating an unusual pact of neutrality with the Franks of Acre that allowed the Egyptians to pass through Frankish territory unmolested.
With the Mongol army removed, the Mamluks then proceeded to conquer Syria and Iran, which had been previously ravaged by the Mongols.
For example, Bohemond and Hethoum controlled the forests of southern Anatolia and Lebanon, the wood of which was needed by the Egyptian Mamluks to build ships.
He traveled to the court of Hulagu, trying to obtain as much support as possible from the Mongol rulers against the Mamluk progression.
However, Hulagu was unhappy with Bohemond for replacing the Greek patriarch with a Latin one, as the Byzantine alliance was important to him, against the Turks in Anatolia.
But while he was gone, the Mamluk army attacked the Armenian army, which was being commanded by Hetoum's sons, at the Battle of Mari.
They killed one of Hetoum's sons, took the other prisoner, and laid waste to Cilician Armenia, reducing the capital to ruins.
In May 1267 he attacked Acre, and in 1268 he began the Siege of Antioch, taking the city while Bohemond was away in Tripoli.
By this time, the Mamluks had captured every inland castle of the Franks, but the Mamluks had heard reports about a new Crusade, this one from the prince who would later be Edward I of England.
Edward had landed in Acre on May 9, 1271, where he was soon joined by Bohemond and his cousin King Hugh of Cyprus and Jerusalem.
Bohemond died in 1275, leaving a son and three daughters: Bohemond VII, nominal prince of Antioch (though Antioch had ceased to exist) and count of Tripoli; Isabelle, who died young; Lucia, later titular countess of Tripoli; and Marie (d. ca 1280), married to Nicolas de Saint-Omer (d. 1294).
The rancour of the Mamluks regarding Bohemond VI's alliance with the Mongols would remain until 1289 with the final Fall of Tripoli.
Selamawi Asgedom (Tigrinya: ሰላማዊ ሃእለአብ አስገዶም; born in Adi Wahla, Ethiopia on 29 September 1976) or Mawi Asgedom for short, is an author, public speaker, and a refugee of Ethiopian and Eritrean origin.
Mawi Asgedom is a refugee turned Harvard graduate who has spoken to over one million people and written eight books that have been read in thousands of classrooms.
Oprah Winfrey called her interview with Mawi one of her top twenty moments and ESSENCE magazine selected Mawi as one of the 40 most inspiring African-Americans.
Mawi is the founder of Mawi Learning, a leading provider of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) training that has partnered with more than one thousand school districts and won many awards for impact and innovation.
For about two years of his childhood, he was separated from his father and mother, Haileab and Tsege, when he had to flee to Sudan to avoid the war in Ethiopia.
He graduated with top honors from Harvard University, receiving a degree in American history and giving the commencement address at his graduation in 1999.
Mawi started Mawi Learning because he wanted to help kids of all backgrounds go on their own journey of unlimited growth.
He founded the company in 1999 from his apartment in Chicago and at first focused mostly on giving speeches and writing books.
Starting in 2013, Mawi Learning began developing online courses for middle and high school students in core areas of SEL such as time management and goal-setting.
By 2019, more than 100,000 students had taken Mawi Learning's online SEL courses for full high-school credit and Mawi Learning had won many awards for innovation including the CODiE award.
In 2019, Mawi Learning was acquired by the global non-profit ACT to support ACT's mission of empowering people for education and workplace success.
Day-time television host Oprah Winfrey named her interview of Mr. Asgedom as one of her 20 Unforgettable Moments in October 2005.
The Natuna Regency is an archipelago of 272 islands located in the south part of the South China Sea in the Natuna Sea.
Administratively, the islands (including the central Bunguran Islands and various outliers) constitute a regency within the Riau Islands Province of Indonesia and are the northernmost non-disputed island group of Indonesia.
The regency contains a land area of 2,008.8 km and had a population of 69,003 at the 2010 Census; the latest official estimate (as at 2019) is 89,498.
Indonesia's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off the coast of Natuna is slightly overlapped by China's widely disputed South China Sea claim.
These are Bunguran Batubi (with five villages), Pulau Tiga Barat (West Tiga Island, with four villages) and Suak Midai (with three villages).
Indonesia's EEZ extends 200 nautical miles (370 km) from its shores, which around Natuna means it is slightly intersected by China's Nine-Dash Line, defining its widely disputed claim to most of the South China Sea.
In 2014–2015, the presence of the Indonesian National Armed Forces on the islands was reinforced, which the Indonesian government hoped would reduce the chance of any conflict.
Indonesia responded with a formal diplomatic protest to Beijing and then deployed to the region a further 600 troops and eight navy warships, along with aerial support.
The naval presence included Ahmad Yani-class frigates, Bung Tomo-class corvettes, and Kapitan Pattimura-class ASW corvettes, while aerial support came from Naval Aviation CN-235 MPA aircraft, four Indonesian Air Force F-16s and a Boeing 737-2x9, with BAE Hawk aircraft nearby on alert.
Other religions are Christianity, which forms 1.66% of the total population, Buddhism, which forms 1.23% of the total population, and Confucianism, which forms 0.14% of the total population.
The Natuna Islands are a 272-island archipelago of Indonesia, located in the Natuna Sea between Peninsular Malaysia to the west and Borneo to the east.
The North Group consists of a large island (Pulau Laut), two small islands and several adjacent islets and reefs which lie about 50 km NNW of Natuna Besar Island.
Pulau Laut is about 11 km long with a greatest width of 5 km towards the south; it is generally hilly, rising to 273 metres near its north end.
Natuna has large reserves of natural gas (estimated to 1.3 billion m) that is exported to neighbouring countries such as Singapore.
The Natuna Islands have a remarkable avifauna with 71 species of bird registered, including the near-threatened lesser fish eagle, the Natuna serpent-eagle.
Ranai Airport or Natuna Airport is located at Ranai, the capital city of Natuna Regency, on the Natuna archipelago in the Natuna Sea.
The New York City Council is a unicameral body consisting of 51 members, each elected from a geographic district, normally for four-year terms.
All elected officials—other than those elected before 2010, who are limited to three consecutive terms—are subject to a two consecutive-term limit.
New York City government employs 325,000 people, more than any other city in the United States and more than any U.S. state but three: California, Texas, and New York.
New York City's political geography is unique, consisting of five boroughs, each coterminous with one of five counties of New York State: Brooklyn is Kings County, the Bronx is Bronx County, Manhattan is New York County, Queens is Queens County, and Staten Island is Richmond County.
When New York City was consolidated into its present form in 1898, all previous town and county governments within it were abolished in favor of the present five boroughs and a unified, centralized city government.
However, each county retains its own district attorney to prosecute crimes, and most of the court system is organized around the counties.
The Mayor is the chief executive officer of the city and a magistrate, appoints and removes all unelected officers and exercises all the powers vested in the city except otherwise provided by law, and is responsible for the effectiveness and integrity of city government operations.
The mayor is also responsible for creating the city's budget through the New York City Mayor's Office of Management and Budget, submitted for approval, not drafting, to the Council.
Along with the mayor, the Public Advocate and the Comptroller are the only three directly elected citywide officials in New York City.
The Public Advocate is an elected official with responsibility to ease public relations with the government, investigate complaints regarding city agencies, mediate disputes between city agencies and citizens, serve as the city's ombudsman and advise the mayor on community relations.
The Comptroller stands second, after the Public Advocate, in the line to succeed a mayor who has become unable to serve.
The Council is a unicameral body consisting of 51 Council members, whose districts are defined by geographic population boundaries that each contain approximately 157,000 people.
Council members are elected every four years, except that after every census held in years divisible by twenty, districts are redrawn, requiring two consecutive two-year terms, the second of which is held in the redrawn districts.
The Speaker of the Council, selected by the 51 Council members, is often considered the second most powerful post in New York City's government after the Mayor.
A local law has a status equivalent with a law enacted by the New York State Legislature (subject to certain exceptions and restrictions), and is superior to the older forms of municipal legislation such as ordinances, resolutions, rules and regulations.
Although it could not pass laws, it shared authority for the city budget with the council and controlled functions such as land use, municipal contracts, franchises, and water and sewer rates.
The state court system in New York City has two citywide courts, the Criminal Court and the Civil Court, and several statewide courts, the Supreme Court, Surrogate's Court, and Family Court.
The Criminal Court of the City of New York handles misdemeanors (generally, crimes punishable by fine or imprisonment of up to one year) and lesser offenses, and also conducts arraignments (initial court appearances following arrest) and preliminary hearings in felony cases.
The Civil Court of the City of New York decides lawsuits involving claims for damages up to $25,000 and includes a small claims part for cases involving amounts up to $5,000 as well as a housing part for landlord-tenant matters, and also handles other civil matters referred by the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court of the State of New York is the trial court of general jurisdiction, which in New York City hears felony cases and major civil cases.
The Surrogate's Court of the State of New York is the probate court which oversees the probate of wills and administers estates.
The Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings adjudicates matters for all city agencies unless otherwise provided for by executive order, rule, law or pursuant to collective bargaining agreements.
The Department of Finance Adjudication Division (Parking Violations Bureau) adjudicates parking violations, and the Tax Appeals Tribunal adjudicates disputes regarding city-administered taxes other than real estate assessment claims, which are adjudicated by the city Tax Commission.
The borough presidents can have legislation introduced in the council, recommend capital projects, hold public hearings on matters of public interest, make recommendations to the mayor and to other city officials, make recommendations on land use and planning, and make recommendations regarding the performance of contracts providing for the delivery of services, in the interests of the people of their borough.
They are composed of the borough president, Council members from the borough, and the chairperson of each community board in the borough.
Community boards advise on land use and zoning, participate in the city budget process, and address service delivery in their district.
Each of the five counties of New York City elects a district attorney (DA) for a four-year term, whose duty it is to prosecute all crimes and offenses cognizable by the courts of the county.
There is also a sixth DA, the Office of the Special Prosecutor for Narcotics, who is unelected, but appointed by the five elected DAs.
The county committees are composed of at least two members elected from each election district (containing a maximum of 950–1150 registered voters).
Candidates for the citywide offices of mayor, comptroller and public advocate are designated jointly by the five county executive committees of each party.
The New York Public Library is a private, non-governmental library serving the Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island, that receives government funding.
Despite this name, the NYCTA, like the rest of the MTA, was created by the New York State Legislature as a public-benefit corporation, which the legislature and governor of New York control.
The MTA also operates the Staten Island Railway within the city of New York, as well as the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad, both of which are commuter lines that have termina in the city but run largely in the suburban counties of New York State and Connecticut.
Other regional transportation is managed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, including the bridges and tunnels between New York City and New Jersey, and all airports and seaports within the city.
The two supporters represent the unity between Native Americans and colonists, the four windmill sails recall the city's Dutch history as New Amsterdam, and the beavers and flour barrels the city's earliest trade goods (see History of New York City).
Its blue, white, and orange bands represent the colors of the Dutch flag that flew over the city, then New Amsterdam, between the 1620s and 1660s.
The Bunguran Islands are an archipelago in Riau Islands province, Indonesia, located in the Natuna Sea, the southern portion of the South China Sea.
The archipelago forms the central part of the Natuna Regency, an archipelago of 272 islands in total, which is in turn included in the Tudjuh Archipelago, off the northwest coast of Borneo.
The largest island of the archipelago is Bunguran or Pulau Natuna Besar (Great Natuna Island), situated in the Middle Natuna Archipelago.
Two additional districts have been created since 2010 out of the existing districts - Bunguran Batubi (split from Bunguran Barat district) and Pulau Tiga Barat (split from Pulau Tiga district).
The Mazatec are an indigenous people of Mexico who inhabit the Sierra Mazateca in the state of Oaxaca and some communities in the adjacent states of Puebla and Veracruz.
Note that the Illyrian Provinces were also part of France, but were not organised into departments, and so are not included in this list.
Similarly, four additional French departments were also created in Catalonia (annexed from Spain in 1812); their juridical status remained incomplete until the French lost their grip on Spain in 1814.
The American Anti-Slavery Group (AASG) is a non-profit coalition of abolitionist organizations that engages in political activism to abolish slavery in the world.
It raises awareness of contemporary slavery, particularly among the chattel slaves of Mauritania and Sudan, raises funds to support relief and aid to enslaved populations and escaped former slaves, and lobbies government officials to increase their efforts.
AASG was co-founded in 1993 by Charles Jacobs (who served as its first research director) with African human rights activists Mohamed Athie of Mauritania and David Chand of Sudan.
Recent officers include: Mohamed Athie (past president) and Charles Jacobs (past clerk and treasurer; current president and member of board of directors).
ASG advocates for the freedom of those degraded by slavery through government lobbying and online campaigns, which locate pressure points in corporations that benefit from slavery, governments that tolerate human bondage, and leaders who remain silent.
Charles Jacobs, president of the American Anti-Slavery Group, concedes there is an increase in slave-taking since 1995 in terms of the growing intensity of the Sudanese war, but rebukes characterizations that it creates a market for the slave trade.
Wedding soup consists of green vegetables (usually endive and escarole or cabbage, lettuce, kale, and/or spinach) and meat (usually meatballs and/or sausage, the latter sometimes made of chicken and containing Italian parsley and parmesan cheese) in a clear chicken-based broth.
The modern wedding soup is quite a bit lighter than the old Spanish form, which contained more meats than just the meatballs of modern Italian-American versions.
The method works in three steps: in step one the new vocabulary structures to be learned are taught using a combination of translation, gestures, and personalized questions; in step two those structures are used in a spoken class story; and finally, in step three, these same structures are used in a class reading.
Many teachers also assign additional reading activities such as free voluntary reading, and there have been several easy novels written by TPRS teachers for this purpose.
Proponents of TPR Storytelling, basing their argument on the second language acquisition theories of Stephen Krashen, hold that the best way to help students develop both fluency and accuracy in a language is to expose them to large amounts of comprehensible input.
The steps and techniques in TPR Storytelling help teachers to provide this input by making the language spoken in class both comprehensible and engaging.
Teachers also make sure that the students internalize each phrase before moving on to new material, giving additional story lessons with the same vocabulary when necessary.
After being developed by Blaine Ray in the 1990s, the method has gained popular appeal with language teachers who claim that they can reach more students and get better results than they could with previous methods.
A number of practitioners publish their own materials and teaching manuals, and training in TPR Storytelling is generally offered at workshops by existing TPRS teachers rather than at teacher training college.
Ray had found great initial success teaching using total physical response (TPR), but was disappointed when his students stopped finding this technique to be interesting.
Ray was familiar with Stephen Krashen's theories, and he was confident that his students would acquire Spanish naturally if he gave them enough comprehensible input.
He set about finding a way to combine TPR with stories, with input from Krashen and from other foreign language teachers, and the result was Total Physical Response Storytelling.
This new method continued to evolve with the input of teachers, and by 2000 there was a much larger emphasis on reading and the spoken class story, with the time spent doing traditional TPR being greatly reduced.
Although TPR Storytelling is a growing movement among foreign language teachers, particularly in the United States, it has received little coverage in academia.
In the United States the method has gained vocal support from an increasing core of language teachers, and some school districts use it exclusively in their foreign language programs.
There is no set number of new items to be introduced in a given session; however, three is generally considered the maximum number that can be effectively taught in a lesson.
This emphasis on thoroughly learning new material is designed to give the students a feeling of confidence and to provide sufficient repetitions to facilitate acquisition (unconscious control in recognition and output) of the new items.
The three phrases (structures) are written on the blackboard, or another place where the students can easily see them, and are translated into the students' native language if a shared native language is available.
The goal of the teacher during step one is to provide as many spoken repetitions of the new structures in context as possible.
TPRS teachers aim to say each new structure at least 50 times in the course of a story, and it is not unusual to hear those structures 100 times.
The teacher will usually use a skeleton script with very few details, and then flesh the story out using details provided by the students in the target language, making a personalized story for each class.
Advanced TPRS teachers are able to improvise, creating stories solely based on student answers to questions about the day's vocabulary structures.
The teacher will usually try to select actors who won't be intimidated to keep the atmosphere as relaxed and fun as possible.
When the teacher makes a statement that advances the story plot, the actors will act out that statement and then wait while the teacher continues with the circling questions.
This narrative device is used to maximize the repetitions of the target structures, to make the story easy to understand, and to make the target phrases easy to remember.
After the story has finished the teacher may retell it in briefer form, retell it with errors having students correct them, or ask the students to retell the story, allowing them to use the structures they just learned.
Step three is where the students learn to read the language structures that they have heard in steps one and two.
The first, and most common, is a class reading, where the students read and discuss a story that uses the same language structures as the story in step two.
The next most common activity is free voluntary reading, where students are free to read any book they choose in the language being learned.
For shared reading, as in first-language literacy activities, the teacher brings in a children's picture book, and reads it to the students in class, making it comprehensible through circling and other means.
This reading is based on the story that the students learned in step two - sometimes it can be the same story, and sometimes it uses the same language structures but with different content.
Ideally, the story should be structured so that students will be able to understand most of the story on first view.
The teacher will often begin the class reading by reading aloud the story, or a portion of the story, then having the students translate it into their first language.
As the students have already dealt with the language structures in steps one and two, they can often do this at a natural speed.
This process aims to ensure that all of the students understand all of the words in the reading, as well as the meaning of the reading as a whole.
With the goal of making the discussion 100% comprehensible, the teacher will use the same TPRS techniques as in step two.
Also, the teacher may make use of the pop-up grammar technique, where grammar points contained in the reading are explained very briefly - in 5 seconds or less.
Comparing and contrasting the material in the reading to the PQA and the story gives extra repetitions of the target structures.
Discussions of culture and even history are possible, depending on the content of the reading and the level of the students.
The research for FVR is very strong, and has consistently shown that FVR is as good or better than taught language lessons.
Free voluntary reading can be done in the classroom or at home, but many teachers prefer to focus on spoken stories in class, as it is hard for students to get listening input outside school.
However, TPRS teachers often educate students about FVR in class, introducing books for them to read, and giving advice on good reading practices.
The name is intended to conjure up the image of being read to as a child, but the activity can be done with any age group.
This can be used to prepare students for a class discussion, but it is usually only used with advanced students as at home the students may have no one to turn to if they get stuck.
These techniques all have the same basic aim of keeping the class comprehensible, interesting, and as efficient as possible for language acquisition.
It is intended to provide repetition of the target vocabulary in context and enable students to learn the vocabulary, grammar and phonology of their new language in a holistic way.
The point of asking these questions is not to force the students to speak; rather, the questions are a method of checking comprehension while simultaneously repeating the target vocabulary in context.
Therefore, students need not worry about speaking in full sentences, and indeed this would detract from the process of concentrating on the input provided by the teacher.
By answering using single words or very short phrases the students can keep their attention focused on the words to be learned.
If a teacher does say something out-of-bounds, then the solution is to make it comprehensible, by writing it on the board and translating it immediately.
If a teacher can stay in bounds all the time, and can speak slowly enough for the students to understand, then their class will be 100% comprehensible.
When students first hear vocabulary or grammar, the necessary gap between each word can be as long as two full seconds.
This technique is most often used in the class reading of step three, but it can be used at any time.
The teacher draws the students' attention to a grammatical feature of one of the sentences they have been learning in the story, and explains it in five seconds or less.
Personalizing the language class is a key way to make the target language interesting and meaningful for students, and personalization is used extensively in TPR Storytelling.
Other good personalization techniques are the use of celebrities or of other characters the students know (such as the school principal).
More importantly, looking the students directly in the eyes while speaking gives the teacher a good indication of whether or not they understand what is being said.
After they have finished talking to that student, they can pick another student in a different part of the room to talk to.
Focusing attention on individual students like this helps teachers to assess student comprehension levels, and also keeps the teacher's intonation conversational and interesting.
There are books of suggested lesson plans, manuals explaining TPRS methodology, listening material, substitute DVDs, and many target language readers by a variety of authors and publishers.
These materials are generally written by TPRS teachers themselves; so far, the large publishing companies have been reluctant to publish materials that aren't based upon a fixed grammar syllabus.
Small TPRS publishers like Command Performance Language Institute, TPRS Books, Fluency Fast, Fluency Matters, Chalkboard Productions and Albany Language Learning/Squid For Brains are appearing to fill the need for materials to fit the TPRS community.
It requires juggling of many techniques in the classroom, and also an ability to make meaningful connections with students in the target language.
This is extremely hard to do without training and practice, so it is recommended that teachers attend at least one workshop or training session before they try TPR Storytelling in their classrooms.
There are three main U.S. conferences for TPRS teachers: NTPRS, which focuses on TPRS, and IFLT, which focuses on general comprehensible-input based instruction, and Comprehended World Languages, which focuses on TPRS/TCI and provides a lab teaching option.
It is a free online journal aimed at language teachers, and contains both research papers related to language acquisition and articles about language teaching.
The Input Hypothesis, proposed by Dr. Stephen Krashen, suggests that language development is a function of the input received by the learner.
It is characterized by listening and understanding to messages, reading interesting books and articles, and other enjoyable activities that take place in the language being learned.
For typical TPRS classes, the ratio works out at about 5% of time spent on learning and 95% of time spent on acquisition.
On the other hand, if people are experiencing negative emotions such as anxiety, self-doubt, and boredom, language is much less likely to be acquired.
The class story in question might see the pitcher winning a game against an all-star team of professional batters, ideally in a humorous way.
This use of humor and making the students look good is built on the idea that students learn language better when they are enjoying themselves.
If after this the students still aren't comfortable with the target words, the teacher can simply tell a new story using the same vocabulary phrases in the next lesson.
Thirdly, teachers will try as far as possible to review all previously covered vocabulary in every lesson, finding ways to work the old vocabulary structures into class stories and class discussions.
In addition to the research backing up the general theoretical foundations of TPR Storytelling, there exists a growing number of studies dealing with TPRS specifically.
For example, Asher compared a class of 30 students taught with TPR Storytelling with another class of 30 students taught with the audio-lingual method (ALM).
Garczynski followed two groups of students over a six-week period, one of which was taught with TPR Storytelling, and the other of which was taught with the audio-lingual method.
The students who learned with TPR Storytelling scored slightly higher than the students who learned with the audio-lingual method, and the TPR Storytelling students showed a much greater rate of improvement than their ALM peers.
Covering the country's coastline, it has an area of 13,650 square kilometres and at the start of 2007 it was home to about 91,955 people.
It was built at the University of Manchester, UK, by Frederic C. Williams, Tom Kilburn, and Geoff Tootill, and ran its first program on 21 June 1948, .
The machine was not intended to be a practical computer, but was instead designed as a testbed for the Williams tube, the first truly random-access memory.
As soon as the Baby had demonstrated the feasibility of its design, a project was initiated at the university to develop it into a more usable computer, the .
The Mark 1 in turn quickly became the prototype for the Ferranti Mark 1, the world's first commercially available general-purpose computer.
As it was designed to be the simplest possible stored-program computer, the only arithmetic operations implemented in hardware were subtraction and negation; other arithmetic operations were implemented in software.
The first of three programs written for the machine calculated the highest proper divisor of 2 (262,144), an algorithm that would take a long time to execute—and so prove the computer's reliability—by testing every integer from 2 downwards, as division was implemented by repeated subtraction of the divisor.
The program consisted of 17 instructions and ran for about 52 minutes before reaching the correct answer of 131,072, after the Baby had performed about 3.5 million operations (for an effective CPU speed of about 1100 instructions per second).
A century later, in 1936, mathematician Alan Turing published his description of what became known as a Turing machine, a theoretical concept intended to explore the limits of mechanical computation.
Turing proved that if an algorithm can be written to solve a mathematical problem, then a Turing machine can execute that algorithm.
Konrad Zuse's Z3 was the world's first working programmable, fully automatic computer, with binary digital arithmetic logic, but it lacked the conditional branching of a Turing machine.
It was Turing complete, with conditional branching, and programmable to solve a wide range of problems, but its program was held in the state of switches in patchcords, not in memory, and it could take several days to reprogram.
Researchers such as Turing and Zuse investigated the idea of using the computer's memory to hold the program as well as the data it was working on, and it was mathematician John von Neumann who wrote a widely distributed paper describing that computer architecture, still used in almost all computers.
The construction of a von Neumann computer depended on the availability of a suitable memory device on which to store the program.
During the Second World War researchers working on the problem of removing the clutter from radar signals had developed a form of delay line memory, the first practical application of which was the mercury delay line, developed by J. Presper Eckert.
As operators are usually interested only in moving targets, it was desirable to filter out any distracting reflections from stationary objects.
The filtering was achieved by comparing each received pulse with the previous pulse, and rejecting both if they were identical, leaving a signal containing only the images of any moving objects.
To store each received pulse for later comparison it was passed through a transmission line, delaying it by exactly the time between transmitted pulses.
Turing joined the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in October 1945, by which time scientists within the Ministry of Supply had concluded that Britain needed a National Mathematical Laboratory to co-ordinate machine-aided computation.
A Mathematics Division was set up at the NPL, and on 19 February 1946 Alan Turing presented a paper outlining his design for an electronic stored-program computer to be known as the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE).
This was one of several projects set up in the years following the Second World War with the aim of constructing a stored-program computer.
At about the same time, EDVAC was under development at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering, and the University of Cambridge Mathematical Laboratory was working on EDSAC.
The NPL did not have the expertise to build a machine like ACE, so they contacted Tommy Flowers at the General Post Office's (GPO) Dollis Hill Research Laboratory.
Flowers, the designer of Colossus, the world's first programmable electronic computer, was committed elsewhere and was unable to take part in the project, although his team did build some mercury delay lines for ACE.
The Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) was also approached for assistance, as was Maurice Wilkes at the University of Cambridge Mathematical Laboratory.
The government department responsible for the NPL decided that, of all the work being carried out by the TRE on its behalf, ACE was to be given the top priority.
NPL's decision led to a visit by the superintendent of the TRE's Physics Division on 22 November 1946, accompanied by Frederic C. Williams and A. M. Uttley, also from the TRE.
Williams was not available to work on the ACE because he had already accepted a professorship at the University of Manchester, and most of his circuit technicians were in the process of being transferred to the Department of Atomic Energy.
The TRE agreed to second a small number of technicians to work under Williams' direction at the university, and to support another small group working with Uttley at the TRE.
Although early computers such as EDSAC made successful use of mercury delay line memory, the technology had several drawbacks; it was heavy, it was expensive, and it did not allow data to be accessed randomly.
In addition, because data was stored as a sequence of acoustic waves propagated through a mercury column, the device's temperature had to be very carefully controlled, as the velocity of sound through a medium varies with its temperature.
Williams had seen an experiment at Bell Labs demonstrating the effectiveness of cathode ray tubes (CRT) as an alternative to the delay line for removing ground echoes from radar signals.
While working at the TRE, shortly before he joined the University of Manchester in December 1946, he and Tom Kilburn had developed a form of electronic memory known as the Williams tube or Williams–Kilburn tube, based on a standard CRT, the first random-access digital storage device.
The Baby was designed to show that the system was a practical storage device, by testing that data held within it could be read and written at the speed necessary for use in a computer.
For use in a binary digital computer, the tube had to be capable of storing either one of two states at each of its memory locations, corresponding to the binary digits (bits) 0 and 1.
It exploited the positive or negative electric charge generated by displaying either a dash or a dot at any position on the CRT screen, a phenomenon known as secondary emission.
A dash generated a positive charge, and a dot a negative charge, either of which could be picked up by a detector plate in front of the screen; a negative charge represented 0, and a positive charge 1.
The charge dissipated in about 0.2 seconds, but it could be automatically refreshed from the data picked up by the detector.
The Williams tube used in Baby was based on the CV1131, a commercially available diameter CRT, but a smaller tube, the CV1097, was used in the Mark I.
After developing the Colossus computer for code breaking at Bletchley Park during World War II, Max Newman was committed to the development of a computer incorporating both Alan Turing's mathematical concepts and the stored-program concept that had been described by John von Neumann.
Following his appointment to the Chair of Electrical Engineering at Manchester University, Williams recruited his TRE colleague Tom Kilburn on secondment.
By the autumn of 1947 the pair had increased the storage capacity of the Williams tube from one bit to 2,048, arranged in a 64 by 32-bit array, and demonstrated that it was able to store those bits for four hours.
Jack Copeland explains that Kilburn's first (pre-Baby) accumulator-free (decentralized, in Jack Good's nomenclature) design was based on inputs from Turing, but that he later switched to an accumulator-based (centralized) machine of the sort advocated by von Neumann, as written up and taught to him by Jack Good and Max Newman.
The Baby used one Williams tube to provide 32 by 32-bit words of random-access memory (RAM), a second to hold a 32-bit accumulator in which the intermediate results of a calculation could be stored temporarily, and a third to hold the current program instruction along with its address in memory.
A fourth CRT, without the storage electronics of the other three, was used as the output device, able to display the bit pattern of any selected storage tube.
In a program instruction, bits 0–12 represented the memory address of the operand to be used, and bits 13–15 specified the operation to be executed, such as storing a number in memory; the remaining 16 bits were unused.
The Baby's 0-operand instruction set|single operand architecture meant that the second operand of any operation was implicit: the accumulator or the program counter (instruction address); program instructions specified only the address of the data in memory.
An instruction took four times as long to execute as accessing a word from memory, giving an instruction execution rate of about 700 per second.
The main store was refreshed continuously, a process that took 20 milliseconds to complete, as each of the Baby's 32 words had to be read and then refreshed in sequence.
In that representation, the value of the most significant bit denotes the sign of a number; positive numbers have a zero in that position and negative numbers a one.
Thus, the range of numbers that could be held in each 32-bit word was −2 to +2 − 1 (decimal: −2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647).
The awkward negative operations were a consequence of the Baby's lack of hardware to perform any arithmetic operations except subtraction and negation.
It was considered unnecessary to build an adder before testing could begin as addition can easily be implemented by subtraction, i.e.
Programs were entered in binary form by stepping through each word of memory in turn, and using a set of 32 buttons and switches known as the input device to set the value of each bit of each word to either 0 or 1.
The first, consisting of 17 instructions, was written by Kilburn, and so far as can be ascertained first ran on 21 June 1948.
It was designed to find the highest proper factor of 2 (262,144) by trying every integer from 2 − 1 downwards.
The program used eight words of working storage in addition to its 17 words of instructions, giving a program size of 25 words.
Geoff Tootill wrote an amended version of the program the following month, and in mid-July Alan Turing — who had been appointed as a reader in the mathematics department at Manchester University in September 1948 — submitted the third program, to carry out long division.
Turing had by then been appointed to the nominal post of Deputy Director of the Computing Machine Laboratory at the university, although the laboratory did not become a physical reality until 1951.
The machine's successful demonstration quickly led to the construction of a more practical computer, the , work on which began in August 1948.
The first version was operational by April 1949, and it in turn led directly to the development of the Ferranti Mark 1, the world's first commercially available general-purpose computer.
In 1998, a working replica of the Baby, now on display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, was built to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the running of its first program.
The America East Conference is a collegiate athletic conference affiliated with the NCAA Division I, whose members are located mainly in the Northeastern United States, specifically New England.
The conference was known as the Eastern College Athletic Conference-North from 1979 to 1988 and the North Atlantic Conference from 1988 to 1996.
The charter members were the University of Rhode Island, the College of the Holy Cross, Canisius College, Niagara University, Colgate University, Northeastern University, Boston University, the University of Maine, the University of New Hampshire and the University of Vermont.
The America East Conference made history during the 2018 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament on March 16, 2018 when No.
The newest associate member is the Virginia Military Institute (VMI), which joined in men's and women's swimming & diving starting with the 2017–18 school year.
The aforementioned California schools initially announced that they would leave America East field hockey after the 2018 season (2018–19 school year), but apparently backed out of that plan and will remain in the AmEast for the immediate future.
The most recent changes to the roster of America East sports were announced in 2016, with the dropping of women's tennis after the 2015–16 season due to a lack of sponsoring teams and the revival of men's swimming and diving effective in the 2017–18 school year.
No America East school has won a national title in a sport sponsored by the conference; however, member institutions have been national champions in non-America East sports.
Raymond-Roupen (also Raymond-Rupen and Ruben-Raymond; 1198 – 1219 or 1221/1222) was a member of the House of Poitiers who claimed the thrones of the Principality of Antioch and Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia.
His succession in Antioch was prevented by his paternal uncle Bohemond IV, but his maternal granduncle Leo I of Cilicia recognized him as heir presumptive to Cilicia and pressed his claim to Antioch.
He then pursued his claim to Cilicia, which Leo had unexpectedly willed to his daughter Isabella on his deathbed, but was defeated and imprisoned until death.
The marriage of Raymond-Roupen's parents, Raymond of Antioch and Alice of Armenia, was arranged in 1195 to end the hostilities between the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia and the Latin Principality of Antioch and to eventually unite them under one ruler.
The infant was heir apparent to his grandfather Bohemond III of Antioch by primogeniture, but this principle was not upheld in the Latin East.
Raymond-Roupen's grandfather was elderly and unlikely to live until Raymond-Roupen reached the age of majority, making an undesirable Armenian-dominated regency likely if Raymond-Roupen were to succeed him.
Bohemond sent his widowed daughter-in-law back to Cilicia along with his newborn grandson, either to ensure their safety or to remove the grandson from succession in favor of a son by his latest marriage.
Leo, who had no sons, recognized Raymond-Roupen as his heir presumptive, and made it his principal mission to secure his grandnephew's succession to Antioch as well.
Conrad of Wittelsbach traveled from Sis to Antioch, where he compelled Bohemond III to summon his vassals and have Raymond-Roupen recognized as his heir apparent.
Bohemond III's eldest surviving son, Bohemond, who was already ruling the County of Tripoli, immediately denounced the oaths of allegiance given to Raymond-Roupen.
Having secured the support of the Knights Templar, the Knights Hospitaller, the Genoese and Pisan merchants, and the Commune of Antioch, Bohemond suddenly appeared in Antioch in late 1198, ejected his father and had the commune swear allegiance to himself as heir presumptive.
The following year, when he was about to reach the age of majority, Raymond-Roupen was sent by Leo to plunder Antioch.
Raymond-Roupen found new allies in the Hospitallers and Antiochene noblemen, including the leader of the commune, by promising grants of land.
Raymond-Roupen was consecrated as Prince of Antioch by the Latin Patriarch, Peter of Ivrea, and received the submission of the nobility and the commune.
He helped the Hospitallers occupy Jableh in 1218 but found himself lacking resources, as the principality had been devastated by the war.
Pope Honorius III ruled that Stephanie or her son by John should succeed King Leo, but both mother and child died soon after.
Raymond-Roupen's chances of winning the Cilician throne seemed good: he had the support of his mother, Alice; of some Cilician nobles; of the Hospitallers; of the papacy and of the papal legate Pelagius of Albano, who was leading the Fifth Crusade in Egypt.
Raymond-Roupen traveled to Damietta in the summer of 1220 to consult with Pelagius in person, after which he invaded Cilicia with his mother.
Isabella and Bohemond were left to reign uncontested in Cilicia and Antioch respectively, and shortly thereafter Bohemond's son Philip became king by marrying Isabella, but met a similar fate.
Honorius and Pelagius decided not to put forward the claims of Raymond-Roupen's young daughters, Maria and Eschiva, who were taken by their mother to Cyprus.
This behavior must be considered part of natural selection, as aggression leading to death or serious injury may eventually lead to extinction unless it has such a role.
His 'hydraulic' model, of aggression as a force that builds relentlessly without cause unless released, remains less popular than a model in which aggression is a response to frustrated desires and aims.
In the book, Lorenz describes the development of rituals among aggressive behaviors as beginning with a totally utilitarian action, but then evolving to more and more stylized actions, until finally, the action performed may be entirely symbolic and non-utilitarian, now fulfilling a function of communication.
Fischer noted that Lorenz acknowledges the role of culture in human life but that he perhaps underrated its effects on individual development.
Leach is however less sure that Lorenz is correct to equate animal and human aggression, the one taking standard ritualized forms, the other far more complex.
In their view, this was because both men had tried to write about a sensitive and important question, human nature and to what extent it is determined by evolution.
Fromm considered that in one way Lorenz had succeeded where Sigmund Freud had failed, Lorenz's hydraulic theory of aggression, innately programmed, being in Fromm's view a better explanation than Freud's opposed passions, the supposed drives for life (eros) and death or destruction (thanatos).
He lists a variety of aggression categories, each separately subject to natural selection, and states that aggressive behavior is, genetically, one of the most labile of all traits.
Artemisia tridentata, commonly called big sagebrush, Great Basin sagebrush or (locally) simply sagebrush, is an aromatic shrub from the family Asteraceae, which grows in arid and semi-arid conditions, throughout a range of cold desert, steppe, and mountain habitats in the Intermountain West of North America.
The range extends northward through British Columbia's southern interior, south into Baja California, and east into the western Great Plains of New Mexico, Colorado, Nebraska, and the Dakotas.
Several major threats exist to sage brush ecosystems, including human settlements, conversion to agricultural land, livestock grazing, invasive plant species, wildfires, and climate change.
Sagebrush provides food and habitat for a variety of species, such as sage grouse, pronghorn antelope, grey vireo, pygmy rabbit, and mule deer.
A deep taproot 1–4 m in length, coupled with laterally spreading roots near the surface, allows sagebrush to gather water from both surface precipitation and the water table several meters beneath.
The species has a strong pungent fragrance (especially when wet) due to the presence of camphor, terpenoids and other volatile oils.
It is an evergreen shrub, keeping some of its leaves year-round (although it loses many of them in the late summer).
This is due to the sprouts being connected to already healthy and associated plants while the new seedlings will start anew.
Sagebrush provides food and habitat for a variety of animal species, such as sage grouse, pronghorn, grey vireo, pygmy rabbit, and mule deer.
Besides providing shade and shelter from the wind, the long taproot of sagebrush draws water up from deep in the soil, some of which becomes available to these surrounding shallow-rooted plants.
These oils, at high concentrations, are toxic to the symbiotic bacteria in the rumen of some ruminants like deer and cattle.
Damage to sagebrush plants caused by grazing herbivores results in the release of volatile chemicals, which are used to signal a warning to nearby plants, so that they can increase the production of repellent chemical compounds.
Several major threats exist to sage brush ecosystems, including human settlements, conversion to agricultural land, livestock grazing, invasive plant species, wildfires, and climate change.
The burning of the shrubs leads to habitat loss of many species and can be very detrimental to the ecosystem as a whole.
Since its accidental introduction in the 1890s, cheatgrass has radically altered the native shrub ecosystem by replacing indigenous vegetation, and by creating a fire cycle that is too frequent to allow sagebrush to re-establish itself.
Big sagebrush is used as a herbal medicine by Native Americans throughout the Intermountain West of North America, most notably as a smudging herb.
The plant's oils are toxic to the liver and digestive system of humans if taken internally, so care must be taken during any form of internal use.
Karl, 8th Prince Kinsky of Wchinitz and Tettau (; 29 November 185811 December 1919) was the 8th Prince Kinsky of Wchinitz and Tettau.
Karl was born in Vienna, the capital of the Austrian Empire, as the son of Ferdinand Bonaventura, 7th Prince Kinsky of Wchinitz and Tettau (1834–1904), the head of the princely line of the House of Kinsky, and Princess Marie of Liechtenstein (1835-1905).
A servant, the Kinsky's master of the horse, Rowland Reynolds, who had two great loves, England and the Grand National steeplechase, was to prove a great influence on Karl, passing on his passions to the young Count.
The Empress arranged to visit Liverpool and see the famous steeplechase which provided Kinsky with his first opportunity to witness the event.
Later, in 1883, he won the Grand National on his own horse, from the family's own Kinsky breed, the mare Zoedone.
First, he was made Austro-Hungarian attache to Britain; and second, he rode his own horse, Zoedone, to win the 1883 Grand National.
Karl was involved in an affair with Lady Randolph Churchill, wife of Lord Randolph Churchill and the American-born mother of Sir Winston Churchill.
She was four years his senior, a famous socialite, and one of the most beautiful women of the time, and he was completely infatuated by her.
She was powerful, having social and romantic contacts that could make or break anyone wishing to climb in social status in the Britain of the time.
She later claimed that she would not have spent the time that she did with Kinsky were it not for the unfounded rumours of an affair being spread by society gossips, and her desire to spend time with him was simply for spite.
However, accounts from the time do indicate that the two were involved romantically, and the only motivation for quelling the rumours was that this affair was a semi-secret one.
She had these affairs with the full knowledge of her first husband, and they may even have assisted in his political and social standing and in his career.
At the time of Kinsky's affair with Jennie Churchill, she likely wielded more power behind the scenes than did Kinsky, and it would have been he who would have benefited more from the affair.
Keen to do his duty, but unwilling to fight the country he regarded as his second home, Kinsky volunteered to fight on the dreaded Russian front.
He survived but returned to a broken homeland and the knowledge that it was unlikely he would ever be welcome in England again.
He was liberated in 1945 by the advancing United States Army and spent most of the rest of his life as part of the academia in the United States.
Schuschnigg was born in Reiff am Gartsee (now ) in the Tyrolean crown land of Austria-Hungary (now in Trentino, Italy), the son of Anna (Wopfner) and Austrian General Artur von Schuschnigg, member of a long-established Austrian officers' family of Carinthian Slovene descent.
Subsequently, he studied law at the University of Freiburg and the University of Innsbruck, where he became a member of the Catholic fraternity .
Schuschnigg first joined the right-wing Christian Social Party and in 1927 was elected to the Nationalrat, then the youngest parliamentary deputy.
On 29 January 1932, the Christian Social chancellor Karl Buresch appointed Schuschnigg Minister of Justice, an office he retained in the cabinet of Buresch's successor Engelbert Dollfuss, and he also served as Minister of Education from 24 May 1933.
After Dollfuss was assassinated by the Nazi Otto Planetta during the July Putsch, Schuschnigg on 29 July was appointed Austrian chancellor.
Although his rule was milder than that of Dollfuss, his Austrofascist policies were not much different from the policies of his predecessor.
He had to manage the economy of a near-bankrupt state and to maintain law and order in a country which was forbidden, by the terms of the 1919 Treaty of Saint-Germain, to maintain an army in excess of 30,000 men.
At the same time, had also to cope with armed paramilitary forces in Austria, which owed their allegiance not to the state but to various rival political parties.
He also had to be mindful of the growing strength of the Austrian Nazis, who supported Adolf Hitler's ambitions to absorb Austria into Nazi Germany.
His overriding political concern was to preserve Austria's independence within the borders imposed on it by the terms of the Treaty of Saint-Germain, which ultimately failed.
His policy of counterbalancing the German threat by aligning himself with Austria's southern and eastern neighbours—the Kingdom of Italy under the fascist rule of Benito Mussolini and the Kingdom of Hungary—was doomed to failure after Mussolini had sought Hitler's support in the Second Italo-Ethiopian War and left Austria under the increasing pressure of a massively rearmed Third Reich.
In July 1936, he signed an Austro-German Agreement, which, among other concessions, allowed the release of imprisoned July Putsch insurgents and the inclusion of the Nazi contact men Edmund Glaise-Horstenau and Guido Schmidt in the Austrian cabinet.
... Christendom is anchored in our very soil, and we know but one God: and that is not the State, or the Nation, or that elusive thing, Race.
On 12 February 1938, Schuschnigg met Hitler in his Berghof residence in an attempt to smooth the worsening relations between their two countries.
To Schuschnigg's surprise, Hitler presented him with a set of demands which, in manner and in terms, amounted to an ultimatum, effectively demanding the handing over of power to the Austrian Nazis.
The terms of the agreement, presented to Schuschnigg for immediate endorsement, stipulated the appointment of Nazi sympathiser Arthur Seyss-Inquart as minister of security, which controlled the police.
Another pro-Nazi, Dr Hans Fischböck, was to be named as minister of finance to prepare for economic union between Germany and Austria.
On the following day, 14 February, Schuschnigg reorganised his cabinet on a broader basis and included representatives of all former and present political parties.
Hitler immediately appointed a new Gauleiter for Austria, a Nazi Austrian army officer who had just been released from prison in accordance with the terms of the general amnesty stipulated by the Berchtesgaden agreement.
On 20 February, Hitler made a speech before the Reichstag which was broadcast live and which for the first time was relayed also by the Austrian radio network.
To resolve the political uncertainty in the country and to convince Hitler and the rest of the world that the people of Austria wished to remain Austrian and independent of the Third Reich, Schuschnigg, with the full agreement of the President and other political leaders, decided to proclaim a plebiscite to be held on 13 March.
Although members of Schuschnigg's party (the Fatherland Front) could vote at any age, all other Austrians below the age of 24 were to be excluded under a clause to that effect in the Austrian Constitution.
This would shut out from the polls most of the Nazi sympathisers in Austria, since the movement was strongest among the young.
Knowing he was in a bind, Schuschnigg held talks with the leaders of the Social Democrats, and agreed to legalise their party and their trade unions in return for their support of the referendum.
This demand President Miklas was reluctant to endorse but eventually, under the threat of immediate armed intervention, it was endorsed as well.
Schuschnigg resigned on 11 March, and Seyss-Inquart was appointed Chancellor, but it made no difference; German troops flooded into Austria and were received everywhere by enthusiastic and jubilant crowds.
After initial house arrest followed by solitary confinement at Gestapo headquarters, he spent the remainder of the war in Sachsenhausen, then Dachau.
In late April 1945, Schuschnigg was, with other prominent concentration camp inmates, transferred from Dachau to South Tyrol where the SS guards abandoned the prisoners into the hands of officers of the Wehrmacht, who freed them.
From there, Schuschnigg and his family were transported, along with many of the ex-prisoners, to the isle of Capri in Italy before being set free.
After World War II, Schuschnigg emigrated to the United States, where he worked as a professor of political science at Saint Louis University from 1948 to 1967.
In The 1850s and 1860s he helped the re-cataloging of the Harvard College Library, producing the America's first public card catalog.
The card system proved more flexible for librarians and far more useful to patrons than the old method of entering titles in chronological order in large books.
Cutter is remembered for the Cutter Expansive Classification, his system of giving standardized classification numbers to each book, and arranging them on shelves by that number so that books on similar topics would be shelved together.
He was appointed assistant librarian of the divinity school while still a student there and served in that capacity from 1857 to 1859.
The catalog, dating from 1840, had a lack of order after the acquisition of 4,000 volumes from the collection of Professor Gottfried Christian Friedrich Lücke of University of Göttingen, which added much depth to the Divinity School Library's collection.
During the 1857-58 school year, Cutter rearranged the library collection on the shelves into broad subject categories along with classmate Charles Noyes Forbes.
His first assignment was to organize and aggregate the inventory of the library and develop a catalog from that and to publish a complete dictionary catalog for their collection.
The previous librarian and assistants had been working on this, but much of the work was sub par and, according to Cutter, needed to be redone.
In 1876, Cutter was hired by the United States Bureau of Education to help write a report about the state of libraries for the Centennial.
Cutter introduced characteristic structures and philosophies such as inter-library loan and furnishing every book with a pouch in the rear to encase a card in order to keep track of the item's circulating status.
He spent a lot of time discussing practicalities, such as how the library arranged adequate lighting and controlled moisture in the air to preserve the books.
This system incorporated seven levels of classification with the most basic libraries operating at the first level and the grandest, most distinguished institutions utilizing the seventh level, and it was Cutter's aspiration to orchestrate a classification system for every type of library.
It was this classification which laid the foundation for the Library of Congress Subject Headings and the Sear's List of subject Headings.
When Cutter began to delegate a new system for the library he initially chose the Dewey Decimal Classification, however determined it was more beneficial to assign a more distinct adaptation for the collection.
Even though Cutter's Expansive Classification was recognized as a significant contribution to libraries and to the burgeoning field of library science, Cutter himself did not champion its success nor did he anticipate future editions of his system.
Cutter may have established that the Dewey system was not practical for his cataloging purposes and indeed Dewey and he often experienced tensions with one another while constituting the American Library Association of which they were two of the 100 founding members in 1876, nevertheless he was regarded as an accomplished and sophisticated librarian and cataloger.
Cutter was commissioned on at least one occasion to propose an architectural conception for the University of Toronto Library which had recently been consumed by a massive conflagration.
In 1893, Cutter submitted a letter to the trustees that he would not seek to renew his contract at the end of the year.
Thus small libraries who did not like having to deal with unnecessarily long classification numbers could use lower levels and still be specific enough for their purpose.
Today, Charles Ammi Cutter might be surprised to see his own portrait hanging over the reference librarians' desk in the Forbes Library in Northampton.
Experimental Breeder Reactor I (EBR-I) is a decommissioned research reactor and U.S. National Historic Landmark located in the desert about southeast of Arco, Idaho.
At 1:50 p.m. on December 20, 1951, it became one of the world's first electricity-generating nuclear power plants when it produced sufficient electricity to illuminate four 200-watt light bulbs.
Electricity had earlier been generated by a nuclear reactor on September 3, 1948 at the X-10 Graphite Reactor in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
EBR-I subsequently generated sufficient electricity to power its building, and continued to be used for experimental purposes until it was decommissioned in 1964.
The reactor was designed and constructed by a team led by Walter Zinn at the Argonne National Laboratory Idaho site, known as Argonne-West.
Installation of the reactor at EBR-I took place in early 1951 (the first reactor in Idaho) and it began power operation on August 24, 1951.
The design purpose of EBR-I was not to produce electricity but instead to validate nuclear physics theory that suggested that a breeder reactor should be possible.
It was subsequently repaired for further experiments, which determined that thermal expansion of the fuel rods and the thick plates supporting the fuel rods was the cause of the unexpected reactor response.
Although EBR-I produced the first electricity available in-house, a nearby experimental boiling water reactor plant called BORAX-III (also designed, built, and operated by Argonne National Laboratory) was connected to external loads, powering the nearby city of Arco, Idaho in 1955, the first time a city had been powered solely by nuclear power.
Besides generating the world's first electricity from atomic energy, EBR-I was also the world's first breeder reactor and the first to use plutonium fuel to generate electricity (see also the Clementine nuclear reactor).
EBR-1's initial purpose was to prove Enrico Fermi's fuel breeding principle, a principle that showed a nuclear reactor producing more fuel atoms than consumed.
It was in this identical to the initial configuration of the later Dounreay Fast Reactor which first went critical in 1959.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965 with its dedication ceremony held on August 25, 1966, led by President Lyndon Johnson and Glenn T. Seaborg.
The Case of Charles Dexter Ward is a short horror novel (51,500 words) by American writer H. P. Lovecraft, written in early 1927, but not published during the author's lifetime.
The novel, set in 1928, describes how Charles Dexter Ward becomes obsessed with his distant ancestor, Joseph Curwen, an alleged wizard with unsavory habits.
The bulk of the story concerns the investigation conducted by the Wards' family doctor, Marinus Bicknell Willett, in an attempt to discover the reason for Ward's madness and physiological changes.
Willett learns that Ward had spent the past several years attempting to discover the grave of his ill-reputed ancestor, Joseph Curwen.
The doctor slowly begins to reveal the truth behind the legends surrounding Curwen, an eighteenth-century shipping entrepreneur and alleged alchemist, who was in reality a necromancer and mass murderer.
A raid on Curwen's farm was remarkable for the shouted incantations, lights, explosions, and some not-quite-human figures shot down by the raiders.
Willett also finds that Curwen, who resembles Charles enough to pass for him, murdered and replaced his modern descendant and resumed his evil activities.
Although Curwen convinces onlookers that he is Charles, his anachronistic mindset and behaviour lead authorities to certify him insane and imprison him in an asylum.
While Curwen is locked up, Willett's investigation leads him to a bungalow in Pawtuxet Village, which Ward had purchased while under the influence of Curwen.
The house is on the site of the old farm which was Curwen's headquarters for his nefarious doings; beneath is a vast catacomb that the wizard had built as a lair during his previous lifetime.
During a horrific journey through this labyrinth, in which Willett sees a deformed monster in a pit, he discovers the truth about Curwen's crimes and also the means of returning him to the grave.
It is also revealed that Curwen has been engaged in a long-term conspiracy with certain other necromancers, associates from his previous life who have somehow escaped death, to resurrect and torture the world's wisest people to gain knowledge that will make them powerful and threaten the future of mankind.
The entrance to the vaults has been sealed as if it had never existed, but Willett finds a note from the being written in Latin instructing him to kill Curwen and destroy his body.
Ward's ancestor (great-great-great-grandfather) and dead ringer, a successful merchant, shipping magnate, slave trader, and highly accomplished sorcerer, born in what is now Danvers, Massachusetts, seven miles from Salem, on February 18, 1662.
He dies, at least temporarily, in 1771 in the course of a raid on his lair by a group of important Providence citizens (Abraham Whipple, John and Moses Brown and Esek Hopkins among them) who have got wind of only a few of his crimes.
To this end his agents scour the graveyards and tombs of the world for the corpses of illustrious persons which are then smuggled back to Providence, where Curwen temporarily raises them to torture their secrets out of them.
In this endeavour he is assisted by two fellow necromancers and Salem exiles; Jedediah/Simon Orne, alias Joseph Nadek, who lives in Prague, and Edward Hutchinson, who masquerades as Baron Ferenczy in Transylvania.
the nature or the use for the information extracted from the resurrected wise persons, is not completely specified and its interpretation is largely left to the reader.
It is evident he was betrayed and probably killed by the entity summoned in his defense during the siege to the hidden grounds of his farm, but the identity of this being, as well as its possible connection with Yog-Sothoth (whose name is mentioned in the incantations) is left open to speculation.
Prior to his first death, Curwen finds a way to create a spell that would transcend time and inspire a descendant to become interested in him and his work and attempt to bring him back should he ever be slain.
Curwen immediately makes contact with Orne and Hutchinson, who have been alive and active all the while, and starts up his old plots once again.
Curwen never hesitates to stoop to murder, torture or blackmail to achieve his ends; he also uses – and kills – vast numbers of living slaves as subjects for his experiments.
He also feigns some degree of civic spirit and decency, both to his fellow citizens and to his wife, as part of a clever ruse—a social gambit aimed at producing an heir, as well as improving his public image to avoid forced displacement.
In August 1925, Lovecraft's Aunt Lillian sent him an anecdote about the house at 140 Prospect Street, built in 1801 by Colonel Thomas Lloyd Halsey in Providence, Rhode Island.
The incantation invokes several divine names, such as Adonai, Eloim, and Jehova, and references the Salamander, Sylphs, and Gnomes, which are the alchemical representatives of Fire, Air, and Earth respectively, as described by Paracelsus.
The Department of Computer Science and Technology, formerly the Computer Laboratory, is the computer science department of the University of Cambridge.
The Department was founded as the Mathematical Laboratory under the leadership of John Lennard-Jones on 14 May 1937, though it did not get properly established until after World War II.
In 1970, the Mathematical Laboratory was renamed the Computer Laboratory, with separate departments for Teaching and Research and the Computing Service, providing computing services to the university and its colleges.
The two did not fully separate until 2001, when the Computer Laboratory moved out to the new William Gates building in West Cambridge, off Madingley Road, leaving behind an independent Computing Service.
On 30 June 2017, the Cambridge University Reporter announced that the Computer Laboratory would change its name to the Department of Computer Science and Technology from 1 October 2017, to reflect the broadened scope of its purpose and activities.
The Convocations of Canterbury and York were the synodical assemblies of the two Provinces of the Church of England until the Church Assembly was established in 1920.
Their origins date back to the end of the seventh century when Theodore of Tarsus (Archbishop of Canterbury, 668-690) reorganized the structures of the English Church and established national synod of bishops.
In 1225, representatives of the cathedral and monastic chapters were included for the first time and in 1285 the membership of the Convocation of Canterbury assumed the basic form which it retained till 1921: Bishops, Abbots (till the 1530s and the Dissolution of the Monasteries), Deans, and Archdeacons, plus one representative of each cathedral chapter and two for the clergy from each diocese.
By the fifteenth century, each convocation was divided into an upper house (the Bishops) and a lower house (the remaining members).
In 1921, the number of proctors (elected representatives) of the diocesan clergy was increased to make them a majority in the lower houses.
The Convocation of York was a relatively small part of the Church in England and Wales with only five member dioceses in Henry VIII's reign.
In 1462 it decided that all the provincial constitutions of Canterbury which were not repugnant or prejudicial to its own should be allowed in the Northern Province and by 1530 the Archbishop of York rarely attended sessions and the custom that York waited to see what Canterbury had decided and either accepted or rejected it was well established.
The Convocation of York was, in practice, taking second place to that of Canterbury so much so that in 1852 the Archbishop of York Thomas Musgrave stated that since the time of Henry VIII the archbishop had only attended personally two sessions (in 1689 and 1708).
Until 1664, they (not Parliament) determined the taxes to be paid by the clergy, but their powers in general were severely curtailed by Henry VIII in 1532/4; and from the time of the Reformation till 1965 they were summoned and dissolved at the same time as Parliament.
Under Henry VIII and his successor Edward VI between 1534 and 1553 the Convocations were used as a source of clerical opinion but ecclesiastical legislation was secured by statute from Parliament.
Later between 1559 and 1641, Elizabeth I, James I and Charles I gave the force of law to decisions of Convocation without recourse to Parliament by letters patent under the great seal notably the Thirty-Nine Articles (1571) and the 141 Canons of 1603.
The Convocations were abolished during the Commonwealth but restored on the accession of Charles II in 1660 and they synodically approved the Book of Common Prayer which was imposed by the Act of Uniformity in 1662.
Business was resumed in 1701 and by the time Queen Anne died in 1714 draft canons and forms of service had been drawn up for royal assent.
Benjamin Hoadley by the lower house (see the Bangorian controversy) and with the exception of an abortive session in 1741 the Convocations met only for formal business at the beginning of each parliament until the middle of the nineteenth century when Canterbury (in 1852) and York (in 1861) began to discuss issues of the day.
Until the Great Reform Bill of 1832, Parliament had been theoretically an Anglican body, and many churchmen began to argue that neither Parliament nor the bishops in the House of Lords expressed the mind of the Church as a whole In 1847 the routine session at the beginning of a new Parliament coincided with the polemical nomination of Dr Hampden to the see of Hereford.
The formal address to the Queen was debated for six hours and an amendment carried praying the Crown to revive the active powers of convocation.
The driving force behind the campaign to achieve this was the London banker, Henry Hoare, who dedicated himself to the task.
The opposition was formidable: half the clergy and most of the laity rejected the idea, many politicians were against it and the two archbishops—John Bird Sumner and Thomas Musgrave—had no desire to revive Convocation.
The legal basis of the resistance was the claim that convocation could only discuss such business as was expressly specified by the Crown.
Over the next eight years it was established that it could debate and act provided it did not try to discuss or frame canons and that the archbishop could only prorogue (adjourn) a session with the consent of his fellow diocesans.
Sumner was convinced of the value of Convocation and those bishops who had opposed the revival were taking part positively in its debates.
Musgrave maintained his opposition until his death in 1860—he even locked the room where it was due to meet—and the Northern Convocation remained inactive until his successor took office.
However, in 1885 the Convocations agreed to the establishment of parallel Houses of Laity elected by the lay members of the diocesan conferences.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, both Convocations together with their respective houses of laity began to meet as a Representative Council which however had no legal authority or position.
The Convocations still exist and their members constitute the two clerical houses of the General Synod but, apart from some residual and formal responsibilities, all legal authority is now vested in the Synod which was established in 1970.
Due to its inordinate size, the Convocation will elect a standing committee, which is responsible for making representations concerning the views of the alumni to the university administration.
The main function of the convocation is to represent the views of the alumni to the university administration, to encourage co-operation among alumni, especially in regard to donations, and to elect members of the university's governing body (known variously as the Senate, Council, Board, etc., depending on the particular institution, but basically equivalent to a board of directors of a corporation).
In the University of Oxford, Convocation was originally the main governing body of the university, consisting of all doctors and masters of the university, but it now comprises all graduates of the university and its only remaining function is to elect the Chancellor of the University and the Professor of Poetry.
At Durham University, Convocation consists of all the graduates of the university along with the Chancellor, Vice,-Chancellor, and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, the Pro-Vice-Chancellors, the heads of colleges, and all professors, readers, senior lecturers and lecturers.
In the University of London, convocation, between its establishment in 1858 and its abolition in 2003, consisted of the university's graduates who were involved in the university's governance.
At other universities such as Syracuse University, University of Oklahoma, and University of Utah, graduation ceremonies consist of both a commencement and a convocation with the commencement being the larger, university-wide ceremony and the individual colleges presenting degrees at a convocation.
In many universities throughout the world (including countries such as Canada, Ukraine (National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy), Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) convocation is the university graduation ceremony to award degrees to students and honorary graduates.
In time-leaping ham radio conversations between firefighter Frank Sullivan, speaking from 1969, and his son John, speaking from 1999, discussing events in the 1969 World Series, the two come to a point of trust about the details of events and how they play out.
In October 1969, FDNY firefighter Frank Sullivan (Quaid) dies in a warehouse fire, leaving behind his wife Julia and six-year-old son John.
Thirty years later, in 1999, John, now an NYPD detective, is dumped by his girlfriend Samantha for being emotionally shut off.
John's neighbor and childhood buddy, Gordo finds a Heathkit single-sideband ham radio that once belonged to Frank, but fails to get it working.
The night before the anniversary of his father's death, John is surprised to find the radio broadcasting during an occurrence of the aurora borealis, and has a brief conversation with another man concerning the 1969 World Series, which John is able to recount in specific detail.
Eventually, he realizes that the other man is his father in 1969 and tries to warn him of his impending death.
Subsequently, John begins to notice major changes in the present: His mother Julia no longer lives at her current address, Samantha doesn't recognize him, and he learns that Frank died in 1989 from lung cancer due to his persistent smoking.
However, John discovers that the Nightingale is now connected to ten murders, including that of his mother two weeks after Frank's now-avoided death.
Feeling guilty that their actions somehow led to the Nightingale committing more murders, John persuades his father to help him prevent these crimes from occurring.
But when he tries to rescue the second, the Nightingale subdues him, steals his driver's license, and plants it on the victim to frame Frank for the murder.
John instructs his father to wrap his wallet in plastic and hide it somewhere in the house where John can find it 30 years later.
Julia was supposed to leave early after learning Frank's death, but since it didn't happen in the new timeline, Julia didn't leave the hospital which prevented the error that would have killed Shepard.
While awaiting questioning, Frank activates the precinct's fire sprinkler system, escapes, and breaks into Shepard's apartment, where he finds jewelry taken from the victims.
Shepard catches Frank in the act and pursues him, ending with a fight underwater where Frank appears to have killed Shepard.
Satch, having realized that Frank was telling the truth, arrives in time to witness the struggle, finds the jewelry from the victims and Frank is exonerated.
Frank fixes the radio, but while talking both he and John are attacked by the 1969 and 1999 versions of Shepard.
Using a shotgun, Frank manages to blow off Shepard's right hand in 1969 and Shepard flees, causing Shepherd's hand to disappear in 1999 just as he's about to kill John as the changes in the past affect the present.
Furnishings in the house begin to change as the timeline rapidly fixes itself in 1999 and an elderly Frank, having quit smoking to avoid his death in 1989, appears and kills Shepard with the same shotgun, and embraces his son.
Sylvester Stallone was rumored to be taking the role of Frank Sullivan in 1997, but fell out of the deal after a dispute over his fee.
The American Radio Relay League assisted in some of the technical aspects in the film, though some ham radio enthusiasts criticized technical errors that made it into the film.
The Software Engineering 2004 (SE2004) —formerly known as Computing Curriculum Software Engineering (CCSE)— is a document that provides recommendations for undergraduate education in software engineering.
Important components of SE2004 include the Software Engineering Education Knowledge, a list of topics that all graduates should know, as well as a set of guidelines for implementing curricula and a set of proposed courses.
Their fear may actually be a combination of fears, such as fear of failing at assigned tasks, speaking before groups at work (both of which are types of performance anxiety), socializing with co-workers (a type of social phobia), and other fears of emotional, psychological and/or physiological injuries.
A phobia is a psychological condition in which an individual has a persisting fear of situations or objects, disproportionate to the threat they actually pose.
Once the fearful individual encounters the situation or object of their phobia, the emotional, cognitive and physical reaction is almost immediate.
This condition creates immense distress that stems from the need to constantly be alert and to be able to avoid the triggering source of the phobia.
There have been several studies focusing on burnout among teachers, and it has been found that those experiencing ergophobia performed significantly worse on a physical health index compared to their colleagues.
Freudenberger, for example, used it to describe the phenomenon of physical and emotional exhaustion with associated negative attitudes arising from intense interactions when working with people.
Later studies on ergophobia and occupational burnout build upon the existing conception of Freudenberger’s research and found the phenomenon was quite common in a variety of human service occupations.
Even though there is no formal diagnosis procedure, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, a  series of introspective occupational burnout questions is used together with Areas of Worklife Survey (AWS) to assess levels of burnout.
Ergophobia is not defined as a phobia in the DSM 5 manual, but it may be a subset of performance anxiety.
There may be a connection between executive dysfunction and work-related anxiety because there is a known connection between dysfunction and general anxiety disorder.
Generalized Anxiety disorder might be a similar syndrome, in it one experiences uncontrollably elevated levels of anxiety and worries over varying issues and events.
As with phobia, the anxiety and individual with Generalized Anxiety Disorder experiences is disproportionate to the actual threat that the events or situations pose.
Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is characterized by feelings of anxiety caused by social interactions or situations in which the individual can be scrutinized or rejected by others.
This disorder greatly influences performance in social, occupational or other important situations, and as such may seem similar to Ergophobia or occupational burnout.
Specifically, these traits are shown in two parts externally, emotional exhaustion refers to the feeling of being emotionally drained after interacting with other people and depersonalization is expressed in negative attitudes or unsympathetic responses towards other people.
When an individual perceives their sense of competence as lesser than their co-workers, or view their intelligence as greater than their colleagues who are being elevated to higher roles, there is a higher chance that their sense of personal accomplishment gets diminished.
With the decline of at first the agricultural, and later manufacturing sectors in the United States, the service industry has come to be the dominant industry in the economy in North America.
Because burnout or ergophobia is most commonly found in service sector roles, it is easy to see how it is becoming a more prevalent issue in contemporary society.
The more people employed in an environment that is conducive to ergophobia, the greater the number of cases of ergophobia, regardless of changes in the rates reported of ergophobia itself.
Such a system, in which the relationship between employee and boss is much closer, and thus the employee is subsequent to more face-to-face scrutiny which can exacerbate emotional exhaustion among employees and subsequently feelings of ergophobia.
Mental health has become a much less taboo subject in recent years, and there is a proliferation of mental health awareness discourses in popular North American culture.
As the fear of work itself is such a general catchall term, many may believe that they suffer from ergophobia when in fact the root issue is a plethora of other mental health issues such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder or social anxiety disorder.
He is best known as a member of the industrial music group Skinny Puppy, which he co-founded in 1982 with singer Nivek Ogre.
Initially a side project while he was with the new wave band Images in Vogue, Skinny Puppy quickly became his primary musical outlet after landing a record deal with Nettwerk Records in 1984.
In addition to his work with Skinny Puppy and Download, Key has had several side projects, most notably The Tear Garden, a project started in 1985 with Legendary Pink Dots singer Edward Ka-Spel.
Due to an alcohol problem their father developed following his service in World War II, he and his siblings, an older brother and younger sister, had to learn to fend for themselves at a young age.
His father initially disapproved of his behavior, but changed his attitude when Key began dyeing his hair at the age of 17 and would later come to fully support his career as a musician.
Key would often turn to music as a way to escape his home life and the difficulties of high school, and he soon found himself learning to use drums and synthesizers.
There's no training for dysfunction ... Luckily my family had a piano and an organ that had one of those weird drum machines in it, and I sort of had the luck to be able to have these things around me, to take out frustrations on.
In 1978, his parents sent him to live in Japan with a Japanese family, an experience that he considered valuable to his development as an individual.
He had been planning to live in Japan and was offered a job at a Tokyo radio station as an interviewer when he received an invite from Gary Smith to join Images in Vogue.
He also performed as a multi-instrumentalist in the punk band Illegal Youth, which feature Al Nelson, the future vocalist of Hilt.
In 1981, Key joined Images in Vogue, a successful new wave group based in Vancouver who had put out an ad looking for musicians with their own equipment.
The EP was a success, selling 10,000 copies in a span of six weeks and topping a number of college radio station playlists.
Bill Leeb, Key's friend from Vancouver's late-night club circuit, had introduced him to early industrial bands such as Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire, and he soon found himself recording his own songs.
Key met Nivek Ogre (Kevin Ogilvie) at a party in late 1982 and asked him to provide vocals for the songs he had made.
Key hired Dwayne Goettel to play with Skinny Puppy in 1986 after it had become apparent that Leeb was uninterested in touring.
It's something that I have to walk away from ... Every year there seems to be a promise and hope that we'll be able to talk, and we'll forget about all the things that have a lot to do with ego.
Forget about ego and get into the studio and do something we originally wanted to do, which is just to make music that we'll listen to and be genuine fans of.
In 1998, Key ran into Ogre at a Bauhaus reunion concert and discussed the possibility of working together in the future.
As his relationship with Ogre improved, German promoters began asking if they would be interested in performing as Skinny Puppy once more.
On August 20, 2000, Key and Ogre reunited in for a one-off performance as Skinny Puppy at the Doomsday Festival in Dresden.
Key said that the way the band recorded music had not changed much from before, but that the advancement of technology had greatly improved the process.
Key presented Ka-Spel with some recordings he had made, believing that Ka-Spel's voice would work well with them; Ka-Spel agreed after listening to the tapes.
The pair formed The Tear Garden soon after and, with Dave Ogilvie as producer, released a self-titled EP later in the year.
There's a certain greatness to knowing that the tape isn't rolling and knowing that the song that you're playing is simply the last time you'll ever hear it, if your in a jamming, improvisational mode.
Goettel and Western had created the label Subconscious Communications in 1993 as a means of releasing material for the aDuck project.
He used his pet cats to help make portions the album, sometimes allowing them to walk across keyboards to see what sounds they would come up with.
In 2011, Key held the SUBcon Beyond Fest in Santa Monica which featured a number of artists signed Subconscious Communications, including Phil Western, Mark Spybey, Download, PlaTEAU, and Tokyo Decadence, and local talent such as Cyrusrex and Wet Mango.
Cyberaktif was a collaboration between key and Bill Leeb from the band Front Line Assembly, with Goettel acting predominantly as a support musician.
The band Hilt, a collaboration between Key and Geottel, and Al Nelson, started when Nettwerk challenged the group to produce an album for as little money as possible.
He credits his style of drumming to an interest in Latin and African percussion, as well as rap music, industrial music, and early 70s rock.
They're just doing what they can to get themselves in the position of being seen as cool ... For me to say that it shouldn't exist would be censorship and would be completely everything i'm against.
He made frequent use of instruments such as the Roland TR-808 drum machine, which proved central to his original setup for Skinny Puppy, and the ARP 2500.
For live performances, he uses a Moog synthesizer, Roland V-Synth, Teenage Engineering OP-1, and an array of analog effects triggers such as a Pearl Syncussion SY-1.
His older brother, who left the family home at 17, became an artist and designer, while his younger sister became a legal secretary.
He said in a Facebook update that the cancer had started in his nose before spreading up to his eye and down to his lip.
It was located primarily on the New Museums Site, Free School Lane, in the centre of Cambridge, England but, in September 2013 moved to the Roger Needham Building on the West Cambridge site.
On 30 March 2014, the Computing Service merged with the Management Information Services Division (MISD) of the Unified Administrative Service (UAS) to create the University Information Services department.
Craft unionism refers to a model of trade unionism in which workers are organised based on the particular craft or trade in which they work.
It contrasts with industrial unionism, in which all workers in the same industry are organized into the same union, regardless of differences in skill.
Craft unionism is perhaps best exemplified by many of the construction unions that formed the backbone of the old American Federation of Labor (which later merged with the industrial unions of the Congress of Industrial Organizations to form the AFL–CIO).
For example, in the building trades, all carpenters belong to the carpenters' union, the plasterers join the plasterers' union, and the painters belong to the painters' union.
The primary goal of craft unionism is the betterment of the members of the particular group and the reservation of job opportunities to members of the union and those workers allowed to seek work through the union's hiring hall.
This distinction between craft and industrial unionism was a hotly contested issue in the first four decades of the twentieth century, as the craft unions that held sway in the American Federation of Labor sought to block other unions from organizing on an industrial basis in the steel and other mass production industries.
The dispute ultimately led to the formation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, which split from the AFL to establish itself as a rival organization.
The first unions established in Russia in the early nineteenth century tended, by nature of the industries in which their members worked, to be craft unions: shoemakers, cordwainers (shoemakers who work with cordovan leather) and typesetters all worked, as a rule, in small shops in which they had little contact with workers in other fields.
These traditions persisted into the twentieth century in fields such as printing, in which the International Typographical Union would enforce its own rules determining how work was done in union shops, and in the construction industry.
The concept of organizing a strong federation on the basis of craft evolved out of conflict between the Knights of Labor (KOL), which organized mass organizations of unskilled, semiskilled and skilled workers by territory, and the American Federation of Labor (AFL), which organized only skilled workers.
The craft workers were capable of demanding more from their employers due to their skills, and therefore organized into stronger organizations pursuing narrower interests.
The AFL was formed as a direct result of the perceived need by skilled workers to defend their individual craft organizations from poaching by the Knights of Labor.
In 1901, the AFL issued a statement referred to as the Scranton Declaration, which asserted that unions were formed on the basis of the trade practiced by a group of skilled workers.
The Scranton Declaration would be invoked – except in the case of powerful industrial unions that resisted, such as the United Mine Workers – to enforce craft autonomy as the cornerstone of the organization.
The principle of craft autonomy began to give way in many trades, however, with the advent of industrialization in the second quarter of the twentieth century.
The most impressive example was in the textile industry, which created massive new factories staffed by unskilled workers that displaced the small scale and home workshops of weavers in New England.
New industrial processes and markets also gave rise, however, to many small shops in which semiskilled and unskilled workers did a discrete portion of the work that a skilled worker might have done a decade earlier.
Gender and ethnicity also played a part in these new patterns of work: the cotton and woolen mills in New England hired primarily young unmarried girls, often straight from the farm, to tend their machines, while sweatshops most frequently exploited immigrant workers.
Those workers who could hold on to their skill and their control over work processes, such as carpenters, butchers and printers, resisted by forming craft unions.
They not only extolled the dignity of work and the dignity of the master worker, but frequently defined themselves by what they were not: to that end, craft unions often developed rigid entrance requirements that excluded women, immigrants, African-Americans and other minority workers.
The railroad brotherhoods, the unions formed in the latter half of the nineteenth century, made minute distinctions between groups that worked alongside each other; as an example, more than twenty years passed between the original chartering of the International Brotherhood of Stationary Firemen and the amendment of its charter to permit the union to represent the oilers and helpers who worked with them.
Those who saw themselves at the top of the ladder took their elevated status very seriously; as an example, locomotive engineers on many railroads made a point of wearing top hats and a good suit of clothes while at work to demonstrate that they did not get their hands dirty or perform manual labor.
While both the Knights of Labor and Eugene V. Debs' American Railway Union attempted to organize railroad workers on an industrial basis, those efforts were defeated, in some cases by government intervention, injunctions, and force of arms.
In other cases unions within the AFL organized on an industrial basis: the United Mine Workers, the United Brewery Workers and the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union admitted to membership all workers in the industry, or attached to it.
The ILGWU also tended to group its workers based on seemingly trivial distinctions between the type of garment they produced: among the locals created by the ILGWU in the first decade of its existence was one titled the Wrapper, Kimono and House Dress Makers' Union.
As long as the craft unions were the dominant power in the AFL, they took every step possible to block the organizing of mass production industries.
In at least one sense the IWW practiced (and practices) the most egalitarian form of industrial unionism, organizing and accepting membership of workers in any given industry whether they are currently employed or not.
The IWW was successful in some cases, leading a strike of immigrant workers employed in the woolens industry in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and many smaller strikes in longshore, agriculture and the lumber industry.
In its first three years it was greatly hampered by deep political divisions, such as the question of unions engaging in electoral politics (resolved in favor of ruling out alliances with political parties).
The IWW was seriously damaged by government prosecution and vigilantism in the post-war red scare that reached its peak in 1919, and in the Palmer Raids of the same period.
This dispute came to a head at the AFL’s convention in Atlantic City in 1935, when William Hutcheson, the President of the Carpenters, made a slighting comment about a member of the fledgling union of tire factory workers who was delivering an organizing report.
After some more words Lewis punched Hutcheson, knocking him to the ground, then relit his cigar and returned to the rostrum.
The AFL's response to the challenge from the CIO was twofold: both fighting a rearguard action before the National Labor Relations Board to preserve its right to represent the skilled trades in many of the plants that the CIO was organizing, and attempting to emulate it.
Thus, within a decade of the founding of the CIO, unions that had been primarily craft unions, such as the International Association of Machinists, originally a railroad union with much of its membership in the construction industry, began to make serious efforts to organize on an industrial basis as well.
Even the Carpenters took in sawmill workers who had organized on an industrial basis, although the union continued to treat them as second-class members until they seceded to form the International Woodworkers of America in 1937.
Craft unionism has receded in many industries as a result of changes in technology, the concentration of ownership and jurisdictional conflicts between craft unions.
Craft unionism has not, however, disappeared: it is still the norm in the airline industry, survives despite much upheaval in the construction industry, and even appears, in very muted form, in some mass production industries, such as automobile manufacturing, where skilled trades employees have pressed their own agendas within the union.
However, in recent years, as the number of supermarkets, small independent grocers and petrol stations, and convenience stores stocking fresh milk has increased, many people have switched from regular home delivery to obtaining fresh milk from these other sources.
Because of the relatively small power output from its electric motor, a milk float travels fairly slowly, usually around although some have been modified to do up to .
Operators often exit their vehicle before they have completely stopped to speed up deliveries; milk floats generally have sliding doors that can be left open when moving, or may have no doors at all.
Most electric milk floats do not have seat belts, and the law in the United Kingdom only requires wearing seat belts where these are fitted in the vehicle.
While there was previously an exemption in the law meaning those making local deliveries were not required to wear a seat belt, which would in theory have included drivers and passengers in milk floats with seat belts fitted, the law was changed in 2005 to deliveries less than apart.
In August 1967, the UK Electric Vehicle Association put out a press release stating that Britain had more battery-electric vehicles on its roads than the rest of the world put together.
It is not clear what research the association had undertaken into the quantity of electric vehicles of other countries, but closer inspection disclosed that almost all of the battery driven vehicles licensed for UK road use were milk floats.
Some dairies in the UK, including Dairy Crest, have had to modernise and have replaced their electric milk floats with petrol or diesel fuel-powered vehicles to speed up deliveries and thus increase profit.
In 1940, Brush required some small electric tractor units, but as none were commercially available, they asked AE Morrison and Sons to produce a design for one.
In early 1949, they reduced the prices of their electric vehicles by around 25 per cent, in an attempt to make them more competitive with petrol vehicles.
All of their road vehicles were sold through the motor trade, in order to achieve a good standard of after-sales service.
Production of 4-wheeled battery electrics ceased in 1950, although the company continued to manufacture the 3-wheeled Brush Pony, and their range of industrial trucks.
By 1969, Brush were owned by the Hawker Siddeley group, which also owned half of Morrison-Electricars, and manufacture of Brush electric vehicles moved to the newly established Morrison factory at Tredegar.
Electricars began trading in Birmingham in 1919, and although they initially made heavy duty electric vehicles, suitable for payloads up to 6 tons, they soon diversified into smaller vehicles suitable for doorstep delivery.
In 1936, they became part of the business group Associated Electric Vehicle Manufacturers Limited (AEVM), but during the Second World War, few electric vehicles were built, due to a shortage of materials, and they ceased producing them in 1944.
Graiseley Electric Vehicles were produced in Wolverhampton by Diamond Motors Ltd, a company which previously had made motorcycles, and which bought the sidecar business from AJS when that company was liquidated in 1931.
Included in the sale was the Graiseley marque, and this was used for a range of three-wheeled battery-electric pedestrian controlled milk trucks.
In 1937 they produced a ride-on four wheeled vehicle, suitable for a payload of 8-10 cwt, and with a range of around .
Nevertheless, it was for their pedestrian controlled vehicles that they were best known, and their range included the Model 60, with a payload of 8-10 cwt, the Model 75, with a 12-15 cwt payload, and the Model 90, which could carry 22 cwt.
Because the primary focus was on the dairy industry, the model numbers represented the number of imperial gallons of milk that could be carried.
Between 1948 and 1952, the company sold a large number of Graiseley PCVs to United Dairies, and gradually diversified into stillage trucks and pallet trucks for use in factories.
The company was liquidated in 1960, but the Graiseley marque was used by Lister Graiseley in 1969 and by Gough Industrial Trucks Ltd of Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent in 1971.
Harbilt electric vehicles were initially produced by the Market Harborough Construction Company, which was formed in 1935 as a manufacturer of aircraft components.
After the end of the Second World War, they diversified, and electric vehicles were a part of their new product range.
The first vehicle produced was the 551 pedestrian controlled vehicle, which they supplied with a charger made by Partridge Wilson of Leicester, who were making their own range of Wilson battery vehicles.
As well as milk delivery, the chassis was popular in Switzerland, with some 2000 vehicles supplied to the Swiss Post Office and to Swiss hotels.
From 1956, they introduced ride-on vehicles, beginning with the model 735, and expanded the range considerably over the next few years.
At some point in the early 1970s, prior to 1974, Harbilt and Morrison-Electricars reached an agreement for a product exchange and rationalisation.
All milk floats would be built by Morrisons at their Tredegar works, while Morrison trucks would be handed over to Harbilt.
It continued to make trucks for a variety of industries, until it was bought for almost twice its share value by Fred W Davies, a Canadian who owned the Davies Magnet Group and York Trailers, in 1987.
Production moved to Corby, but the venture was short-lived, and it was sold again to M&M Electric Vehicles of Atherstone in 1989.
Lewis began building milk floats, milk carts and horse-drawn vehicles for Express Dairies in 1873, and the business became a limited company in 1899.
This was a 3-wheeled pedestrian controlled vehicle with a 3.5 cwt payload, which had a fixed speed of on level ground.
The battery drove a motor which was connected to the rear axle by reduction gearing, and this configuration gave a range of around .
They were one of the first companies to provide storage for dry goods on their vehicles, and demonstrated a type AER 4-wheeled float with a grocery box behind the cab at the 1955 Dairy Show.
Their exhibits at the 1958 Dairy Show included a standard 25 cwt milk float with a walk-through cab and a vertical steering wheel.
The company was acquired by Austin Crompton Parkinson, makers of Morrison Electricar floats, in 1961, and Morrisons continued to make two of their models, the Electruk Rider, which became the model E15, and a pedestrian controlled vehicle, which became the model DPC3.
Both Express Dairies and the London Co-operative Society had large fleets of the Electruk Rider, and continued to add to them with purchases of the E15.
All three models were fitted with a drum controller, mounted on the cab floor, which provided six steps of series-parallel control.
A safety interlock was provided, to reduce the likelihood of the motor being damaged by careless driving, and brakes manufactured by Lockhead or Girling were fitted to all four wheels.
It was also possible to swap the batteries for another fully charged set, for situations where the range required exceeded that obtainable from a single battery.
A more modern design of cab had been introduced in 1939, and as the Second World War ended, Metrovick ceased to make battery electric road vehicles, selling its designs and manufacturing rights to Brush.
It was designed by J Parker Garner, who at the time was a well-known designer, having been involved in the manufacturing of vehicles for a number of years.
In early 1938, Midland added a model B20 to their range, which was designed for a 20 cwt payload, but was otherwise very similar to the earlier model.
The vehicle on display consisted of a chassis and a van body which had been cut in half, so that visitors to the show could see both the look of the vehicle and the construction of the chassis.
By 1943, Midland Electric were producing five models, which could be fitted with various types of bodywork, including a flat-bed truck for coal deliveries.
The B12 catered for a payload of 10-12 cwt, the BA12 for 12-15 cwt, the B20 for 18-22 cwt, the B25 for 25-28 cwt, with the largest model, the B30, suitable for 30-35 cwt.
The 10-cwt model was called the Midland Vandot when it was showcased at an exhibition in 1953, organised by the Electric Vehicle Association and the South Eastern Electricity Board.
The company was listed in a 1956 directory of electric vehicle manufacturers published in Commercial Motor, but the company closed in 1957.
They were another major player in AEVM, and Electricars and Morrisons rationalised their product range, with Morrisons concentrating on the smaller vehicles suitable for milk delivery.
The Austin Motor Company bought a 50 percent share in AEVM in 1948, and the company became Austin Crompton Parkinson Electric Vehicles Ltd. Austin merged into the British Motor Corporation in 1952, which in turn merged with Leyland Motors in 1969, to become British Leyland.
In 1972, British Leyland sold their share of the business to Hawker Siddeley, better known for aircraft manufacture, and the company became Crompton Electricars Ltd.
The Board of Trade refused to allow Morrisons to move to new premises in Leicester, because of a lack of skilled labour in the area, and instead offered to build them a new factory in a development area, so the manufacturing base moved to Tredegar, south Wales, in 1968.
Morrison-Electricars ceased to be made in 1983, when Hawker Siddeley sold the business to M & M Electric Vehicles of Atherstone, Warwickshire, who subsequently adopted the Electricars name for their own vehicles.
Victor Electrics was formed in 1923 when Outram's Bakery in Southport, Merseyside, wanted to buy some electric vehicles to replace horses and carts on local deliveries, but found that both home-produced and imported vehicles were considerably more expensive than they were prepared to pay.
They started manufacturing their own electric bread vans, which looked like conventional vans, with the batteries mounted under a bonnet at the front.
They were soon making three models of bonnetted van, but in 1931, produced a forward control vehicle with a walk-through cab for the dairy industry.
An order for 1,500 vehicles followed, and a new manufacturing base was set up in Harlescott, a suburb to the north of Shrewsbury.
Four-wheeled vehicles were introduced in 1966 for payloads which exceeded 1.5 long tons, although they made eighteen 5-wheeled articulated milk floats from 1961, which could carry 2 long tons.
Wilson Electrics were made by Partridge Wilson Engineering, who were manufacturers of charging equipment for accumulators, and were based in Leicester.
Speed control was arranged by switching of the motor fields and the battery cells, so that no starting resistance was needed.
They produced several larger models, including a 20-25 cwt version of their MW vehicle, controlled by an accelerator which caused a number of relay contacts to close, at a preselected rate regulated by a fluid dashpot.
In 1939 they were offering special deals for fleets of six vehicles, which were charged using a Davenset 3-phase group charger.
In 1941, Morrison-Electricar standardised three types of body which would become the basis for thousands of milk floats built after the war to deliver goods to the recovering population.
Today, with rounds expanding in coverage to ensure profitability in the face of falling levels of patronage, the limited range and speed of electric milk floats have resulted in many being replaced by diesel-powered converted vans.
A collection of 29 milk floats and other BEVs dating from 1935 to 1982 and representing 14 different manufacturers, is kept by The Transport Museum, Wythall at their museum, and an early Brush Pony, dating from 1947 and operated by United Dairies, can be seen at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu.
There are five battery-electric road vehicles in the collection at the Ipswich Transport Museum, including a Smiths milk float dating from 1948, which was operated by Ipswich Co-operative Society, a Smiths vegetable cart dating from 1965 and a Brush Pony van dating from 1967.
Joseph Emerson Brown (April 15, 1821 – November 30, 1894), often referred to as Joe Brown, was an attorney and politician, serving as the 42nd Governor of Georgia from 1857 to 1865, the only governor to serve four terms.
He denounced Confederate President Jefferson Davis as an incipient tyrant, and challenged Confederate impressment of animals and goods to supply the troops, and slaves to work in military encampments and on the lines.
After the war, Brown joined the Republican Party for a time, and was appointed as chief justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia from 1865 to 1870.
Later he rejoined the Democrats, became president of the Western and Atlantic Railroad and began to amass great wealth; he was estimated to be a millionaire by 1880.
His Dade Coal Company bought other coal and iron companies, and by 1889 was known as the Georgia Mining, Manufacturing and Investment Company.
With the help of his younger brother James and his father's plow horse, Brown drove a yoke of oxen on a 125-mile trek to an academy near Anderson, South Carolina.
It was during this time that Brown took up residence in the home of local businessman and baptist minister John W. Lewis.
In 1847 he opened a law office in the county seat, and began to make the connections on which he built his fortune.
Brown joined the Democratic Party and was soon elected to the Georgia state senate in 1849 from the developing Etowah River valley.
He asked the state legislature to divert a portion of profits from the state-owned railroad, the Western & Atlantic, to help fund the schools.
The Western and Atlantic Railroad was mismanaged, and unable to produce the income Brown required to fund his public education proposal.
In 1858, Governor Brown appointed John W. Lewis, his landlord and benefactor from Brown's early days in Canton, to the position of Superintendent of the state-owned railroad.
In the three years that Lewis ran the railroad, he was able to turn the business into a money making enterprise, paying $400,000 per year into the state treasury.
Brown easily won re-election in 1859 when he defeated a young Warren Akin Sr. (who was just beginning his political career) by a margin of 60%-40%.
Though he objected most strenuously to military conscription by the Confederate government in Richmond, Brown also protested the army's impressment of goods and slave labor and was critical of Confederate tax and blockade-running policies.
It was at this time, during the re-election campaign, that Western & Atlantic Railroad Superintendent John Woods Lewis, and old friend of the governor, decided to resign from the railroad.
On April 7, 1862, months after Lewis left the railroad, Governor Brown appointed Lewis to a vacant seat in the Confederate Senate from Georgia in the 1st Confederate States Congress, 1862-1863.
Robert Toombs, former Confederate States Secretary of State, had created the vacancy when he declined his election at the Congress's opening session on February 18.
On the route from Atlanta to Savannah the left wing of Sherman's army entered the city of Milledgeville, then Georgia's state capital.
As U.S. troops closed in on the city, and with the fall of the capital imminent, Governor Brown ordered Quartermaster General Ira Roe Foster to remove the state records.
After the loss of Atlanta, Brown withdrew the state's militia from the Confederate forces to harvest crops for the state and the army.
In this role, Brown opposed efforts by a committee to revise the state constitution to establish uniform rates for freight over the multiple railroad lines in the state.
He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1880 by the state legislature, as was custom by the US constitution and state laws of the time.
Soon after his election to the Senate, Brown became the first Democratic Party official in Georgia to support public education for all children.
The Republican Reconstruction-era legislature was the first to establish public education in the state but the succeeding post-Reconstruction, white-dominated legislature abandoned it.
Brown was first elected to the United States Senate by the state legislature in 1880, taking office on May 26, 1880.
He amassed a fortune, in part through the use of convicts leased from state, county and local government in his coal mining operations in Dade County.
It was first authorized during the period of Reconstruction, under military governor and Union general Thomas H. Ruger, who issued the first convict lease in April 1868.
State prisoners who were unable to pay fines, levied as part of their conviction, faced the possibility of being leased out by the state, as convict labor.
By 1886, Dade Coal was a parent company, owning Walker Iron and Coal, Rising Fawn Iron, Chattanooga Iron, and Rogers Railroad and Ore Banks, and leasing Castle Rock Coal Company.
However, it was not established if these practices were in place at the time that Brown sold the mine, or were instituted by the mine's new owner Joel Hurt.
Yes, Governor Brown's darlings are likely to smell powder at last, and I imagine most of them will be much surprised.
They thought they had bomb proofs because the Governor stood up to even Jeff Davis and refused to send them to Virginia.
New Democratic Party leadership elections, more commonly known as leadership conventions, are the process by which the Canadian New Democratic Party elects its leader.
Before 2003, when a modified one member, one vote (OMOV) system was adopted, every biennial New Democratic Party convention, since 1961, was a leadership convention.
The earliest example of an incumbent leader being challenged from the convention floor happened in 1973 when Douglas Campbell unsuccessfully opposed David Lewis' leadership.
In 2001, Socialist Caucus member Marcel Hatch challenged Alexa McDonough from the floor of the convention; however, McDonough easily retained the leadership in the resulting vote.
When the NDP was created by the merger of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), trade unions were allowed to directly affiliate to the party, and a system was unofficially arranged so that up to one-third of all delegates to NDP conventions were selected by labour and the other two-thirds by NDP riding associations.
Under the current system, each biennial federal convention includes a vote at which the delegates decide whether a leadership convention should be held.
In practice, all three CCF leaders had been chosen by their parliamentary caucus and then elected unanimously at a subsequent national convention.
A fourth candidate, Herschel Hardin, participated in the regional caucuses but did not win sufficient delegate support to qualify for the convention.
However, Robinson determined that he could not win on the second ballot if Nystrom's supporters moved to McDonough, as they were expected to, thus he withdrew and McDonough was declared the winner.
He was the son of Alexander Wilson (b.1758), a native of Huntly, Aberdeenshire, who came to Quebec City where he was a merchant, magistrate and later Seigneur of Granville.
Wilson's mother, Catherine-Angélique d'Ailleboust de Manthet (1781-1845), was the daughter of Nicholas d'Ailleboust des Musseaux de Manthet (1747-1826), descended from Louis d'Ailleboust de Coulonge, 4th Governor of New France.
He served as a City Councillor of Montreal from 1848 to 1849 and from 1850 to 1852 and Mayor of Montreal from 1851 to 1854.
In 1852, he became a member of the Legislative Council of the Province of Canada and, following the creation of the Canadian Confederation in 1867, he was appointed to the Senate of Canada in the new nation's capital Ottawa as a Conservative party representative for the riding of Rigaud.
AMSAT is a name for amateur radio satellite organizations worldwide, but in particular the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT-NA) with headquarters at Kensington, Maryland, near Washington, D.C. AMSAT organizations design, build, arrange launches for, and then operate (command) satellites carrying amateur radio payloads, including the OSCAR series of satellites.
Some design modifications were needed and were made by AMSAT members, and the satellite was successfully launched on January 30, 1970, on a NASA Thor Delta launch vehicle.
Command stations in Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Hungary, Morocco, New Zealand, the United States and West Germany controlled the satellite, contributing greatly to its 4½ years of service.
Further launches continued to emphasize international cooperation, with AMSAT-OSCAR 7 (AO-7) launching with a new transponder developed and built by Karl Meinzer and AMSAT Germany (AMSAT-DL).
In order to launch its satellites, AMSAT has worked with space agencies and commercial launch contractors to develop new ways to take advantage of unused areas of launch vehicles.
One of the most significant is the Ariane Structure for Auxiliary Payloads (ASAP), developed and manufactured in partnership with the European Space Agency in 1990 for use on its Ariane 4 launch vehicle.
AMSAT was again able to take advantage of unused space with the launch of AMSAT-OSCAR 40 (AO-40), occupying unused space on an Ariane 5.
The AMSAT Phase system describes an amateur satellite based upon its capabilities or mode of operation and roughly parallel the development of amateur satellites.
Most amateur satellites do not receive their sequential OSCAR designation until after they are successfully in orbit, and then only at the request of the launching organization.
Regardless, amateur satellites will have been named by the organization that constructed it, and that name is frequently prepended to its OSCAR designation, resulting a name such as CubeSat-OSCAR 57.
A unique amateur satellite was SuitSat, an obsolete Russian space suit with a transmitter in it, which was launched in 2006 from the International Space Station.
AMSAT-NA is currently building a series of 1U CubeSats to carry university experiments, including a camera, and mode U/V FM repeaters.
The first two of these satellites, Fox-1A, and Fox-1B, were launched on 8 October 2015 and 18 November 2017 respectively and are currently operational and available for use.
RadFXSat-2/Fox-1E, a variation of the Fox-1 series, carrying a mode V/U linear transponder has been accepted for a launch by the NASA CubeSat Launch Initiative.
AO-95 was launched aboard Spacex's Falcon-9 SSO-A mission on 2018-12-04 and was later determined to have poor to no RF reception capability, thus preventing commissioning and putting its FM transponder mission into indefinite suspension.
Lucyan David Mech (born January 18, 1937), also known as Dave Mech, is an American wolf expert, a senior research scientist for the U.S. Department of the Interior (since 1970), currently with the Department of Interior's U.S. Geological Survey (since 1973), and an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota in St. Paul.
He has researched wolves since 1958 in places such as Minnesota, Ellesmere Island, Canada, Italy, Alaska, Yellowstone National Park, and on Isle Royale.
The project to create the facility, which he started in 1985, was a natural outgrowth of his wolf research as well as his ambition to educate people about the nature of wolves that they may come to respect the creature through understanding.
From 1958 to 1962 Mech was a graduate student at Purdue University studying the wolves of Isle Royale in Lake Superior.
Mech said that his research on the wolves at Ellesmere Island was different because it is one of the few places where the wolves are not afraid of people, making that experience one of the best in his life.
This project in 1986 when photographer Jim Brandenburg told him of white wolves he had seen on Ellesmere Island during an assignment for National Geographic.
An avid mushroom hunter and fur trapper, Mech has continued to support fishing, hunting, and trapping, which has led to criticism from animal protectionists.
He believes that states can manage wolves sustainably, and that states where the wolf is no longer on the endangered list should determine how wolves should be managed in their state.
The International Wolf Center lists approximately 140 articles written by Mech published during the period of 1987 to the present, primarily in scientific journals.
Some versions of the packaging do not show the full frame on the cover, but only a crop of Morrissey's face, cropping out the machine gun.
In response to wolf controversies, the Wolf Center does not take a stand on how wolves should be managed (such as by hunting or trapping), as long as healthy wolf populations are maintained.
Founded in 1985 by a group of biologists led by wolf biologist Dr. L. David Mech, the International Wolf Center opened in June 1993.
The Wolf Center is housed in a facility in Ely, Minnesota and features gray wolves viewable through large windows that allow visitors to watch the wolves communicate, hunt, eat and play.
Visitors have the opportunity to view a enclosure and den site that is home for the Exhibit Pack which includes Denali, a Northwestern wolf; Boltz, an Eastern wolf; and two arctic wolves, Axel and Grayson.
In addition to the onsite wolves, the Center offers various educational programs at its Ely interpretive facility as well as wolf hot spots in northern Minnesota.
Afternoon, weekend and week-long programs include howling trips, snowshoe treks, radio tracking, family activities, dog sledding, videos, presentations, demonstrations and hikes.
WolfQuest is an educational computer game that is intended to teach children and teens about the life of a wild wolf in Yellowstone National Park.
The son of Lt Col Bill Carling and his first wife, Will Carling attended Terra Nova School in Cheshire and then Winder House, Sedbergh School, on an army scholarship.
During his time he led England to back-to-back Five Nations Grand Slam victories (1991, 1992) and another Grand Slam in 1995, scoring six tries from outside centre in the Championship, and several more in other matches.
While regarded as a less complete player than his centre partner, Jeremy Guscott, Carling and his team went on to the final of the 1991 Rugby World Cup.
Carling offered the explanation that it was due to a previous defeat by Australia where England had been beaten up front.
Despite this, under Carling England started to challenge and beat the established rugby union powers such as New Zealand and Australia, and their success helped to make rugby union a more popular sport in England.
English victories over New Zealand and South Africa in 1993 were perhaps the peak of England's performance under Carling, although for the rest of the year and the next one, England reverted to stereotype, and underachieved somewhat.
He underachieved on that tour, a pattern attributed by coach Ian McGeechan and manager Geoff Cooke as at least partly due to his failing to secure the captaincy (this instead going to Gavin Hastings of Scotland) but also due in large part to the ascendency in the centre of both Guscott and Scott Gibbs of Wales.
McGeechan and Cooke disclosed that Carling came close to voluntarily withdrawing from the squad; he did however recover his test place and played a notable role in the Third test.
Nonetheless, McGeechan commented in his autobiography that Carling's failure to rise to the occasion as a Lion (in contrast to Guscott) may be seen by some as the difference between his legacy as a good player and a great player.
Also in 1993 he became the second England captain after John Pullin to lead the team to victories over , and , after beating the All Blacks 15–9.
The incident had been provoked by administrator Dudley Wood's comments about England players' alleged desire to cheat by breaking the amateur ethic.
He was however quickly reinstated due to public pressure and following a public apology was able to go to the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
There England, after a slow start against the minnows, quickly found form, won all their group games and gained their revenge over Australia by knocking them out in the quarter final 25-22, thanks to a last-minute drop-goal from Rob Andrew.
Although Carling himself scored two tries towards the end of that game, and set up two more for Rory Underwood, England lost 45-29.
The subsequent loss in the third place play-off, against France, was England's first loss to the French in seven years, but was largely treated as an irrelevance.
Following his resignation from the England captaincy he continued to be selected as an outside centre, usually with Guscott or Phil de Glanville.
George Gregan, an Australian player, equalled Carling's then world record 59 matches as captain in the 2007 Rugby World Cup against Fiji and in the 2009 Tri Nations Series Springbok John Smit equalled and then beat his record in tests between New Zealand in Bloemfontein and Durban respectively.
Prior to their divorce, he was romantically linked by some members of the press with Diana, Princess of Wales, the then-wife of Prince Charles.
Carling, whose mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when he was an infant and later died from the disease, is a patron of the charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
Nimā Yushij () (11 November 1897 – 4 January 1960), also called Nimā (), born Ali Esfandiāri (), was a contemporary Persian poet.
He died of pneumonia in Shemiran, in the northern part of Tehran and was buried in his native village of Yush, Nur County, Mazandaran, as he had willed.
Images of life around the campfire, especially those emerging from the shepherds' simple and entertaining stories about village and tribal conflicts, impressed him greatly.
He was a truant student and the mullah (teacher) often had to seek him out in the streets, drag him to school, and punish him.
In addition, both these lifestyles differed greatly from the description of the lifestyle about which he read in his books or listened to in class.
In other words, even though Nima continued to write poetry in the tradition of Saadi and Hafez for quite some time his expression was being affected gradually and steadily.
Consequently, Nima began to replace the familiar devices that he felt were impeding the free flow of ideas with innovative, even though less familiar devices that enhanced a free flow of concepts.
Furthermore, he emphasized current issues, especially nuances of oppression and suffering, at the expense of the beloved's moon face or the ever-growing conflict between the lovers, the beloved, and the rival.
In other words, Nima realized that while some readers were enthused by the charms of the lover and the coquettish ways of the beloved, the majority preferred heroes with whom they could identify.
Nima actually wrote quite a few poems in the traditional Persian poetry style and as critiqued by Abdolali Dastgheib, showed his ability well.
His use of symbols was different from the masters in that he based the structural integrity of his creations on the steady development of the symbols incorporated.
In this sense, Nima's poetry could be read as a dialogue among two or three symbolic references building up into a cohesive semantic unit.
In the early years when the presses were controlled by the powers that be, Nima's poetry, deemed below the established norm, was not allowed publication.
Ahmad Zia Hashtroudy and Abul Ghasem Janati Atayi are among the first scholars to have worked on Nima's life and works.
Eight Crazy Nights (also known as Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights) is a 2002 American adult animated musical comedy-drama Christmas and Hanukkah film directed by Seth Kearsley and produced, co-written by, and starring Adam Sandler in his first voice-acting role.
The film is animated in the style of television holiday specials and, unlike most mainstream holiday films, centers on Jewish characters during the Hanukkah season, as opposed to the Christian celebration of Christmas.
The film has received a cult following, especially among those in the Jewish community, as it is one of the highest-profile and most-known Hanukkah films.
In the small town of Dukesberry, New Hampshire, Davey Stone is a 33-year-old Jewish alcoholic troublemaker with a long criminal record, whose antics have long earned him the community's animosity.
Under the terms of the community service, if Davey commits a crime before his sentence is completed, he will serve 10 years in prison.
After Davey causes disruptions and torments an obese player for his Gynecomastia, Whitey suffers a grand mal seizure, and the game is abruptly halted.
Attempting to calm Davey down, Whitey takes him to the mall, where they meet Davey's childhood friend Jennifer Friedman and her son Benjamin.
Whitey's various attempts to encourage Davey are met with humiliation and assault--including but not limited to Davey knocking Whitey into a porta-potty then spraying him with a hose when he climbs out, causing him to be frozen in defecation for several hours before a group of grazing reindeer licks him out.
Davey runs into the burning trailer to rescue a Hanukkah card from his late parents, then watches the trailer burn down.
But Davey's progress in reforming stops short when Whitey recalls what happened two decades ago: En route to one of Davey's basketball games, his parents were killed in a car accident when a truck skidded on black ice and swerved into them, and Davey learned of their deaths when the police showed up at the end of his game to inform him.
Devastated by the loss of his loving parents and leaping from foster home to foster home, Davey spent the next 20 years numbing his pain with alcohol and petty crime.
Uncomfortable with this reminder of his tragic, painful childhood, Davey loses his temper and insults both Whitey and Eleanore and Whitey kicks Davey out, much to Davey's relief.
He finally opens his parents' Hanukkah card, which contains a heartfelt message praising him for being a good son, and two photos: one of a young Davey and Jennifer at one of their basketball games, and one with his late parents.
When Whitey is passed over for seemingly the final time, he decides to move to Florida and live the rest of his life in anonymity.
It only grossed a total of $23.6 million in North America and negligible foreign box office receipts, for a total of only $23.8 million worldwide.
He is considered to be one of the five most famous Iranian poets who have practiced modern poetry alongside Nima Youshij, Ahmad Shamlou, Mehdi Akhavan-Sales, and Forough Farrokhzad.
He completed his elementary and secondary education in Kashan and moved to Tehran in 1943 to study at teachers' college (Persian: دانشسرای مقدماتی).
He worked as a teacher for a few years, then enrolled as a student in the faculty of fine arts school at University of Tehran (Persian: دانشکده هنرهای زیبا) and graduated with the honors.
Well-versed in Buddhism, mysticism and Western traditions, he blended the Eastern concepts with Western techniques, thereby creating a kind of poetry unsurpassed in the history of Persian literature.
In one of his works called 'Footsteps of Water' or ‘The Water’s Footfall’, Sepehri introduces himself, his family and his way of thinking in a poetic form.
Abdolali Dastgheib, acclaimed literary critic writer, believes that Sepehri has reached great levels in poetic language following the publication of his later books such as ‘The Water’s Footfall’, ‘Traveler’ and ‘The Green Volume’.
He has used a special symbolism in these poems that makes the objects talk to the reader, rather than explaining those objects.
In fact, Abdolali Dastgheib, Iranian literary critic, argues that Shamlou is one of the pioneers of modern Farsi poetry and has had the greatest influence, after Nima, on Iranian poets of his era.
As the base, he uses the traditional imagery familiar to his Iranian audience through the works of Persian masters like Hafiz and Omar Khayyám.
For infrastructure and impact, he uses a kind of everyday imagery in which personified oxymoronic elements are spiked with an unreal combination of the abstract and the concrete thus far unprecedented in Persian poetry, which distressed some of the admirers of more traditional poetry.
In the manner of many children who grow up in families with military parents, he received his early education in various towns, including Khash and Zahedan in the southeast of Iran, and Mashhad in the northeast, and Rasht in the north.
Shamlou's childhood and adolescent were neither privileged nor easy and home was not an environment that could foster his sensitivities and he often found solace in solitude.
He intended to attend the German-established Tehran Technical School, one of the best secondary schools of that period and learn the German language.
At age 29, following the fall of Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeq, Shamlou was arrested for being a member of the communist Tudeh Party of Iran and imprisoned for more than one year.
His new translation of Erskine Caldwell was published, and he participated in the formation of the Union of Iranian Writers and gave several poetry readings at Iranian universities.
Shamlou connects his poem to the collective consciousness of the whole world, presenting characters of the hero and even the social scapegoat rather in a curious way as we read about the case of a man who sacrifices himself for land and love and, yet, who is betrayed by others due to their ignorance and biases.
He left Iran in protest of the Shah's regime and stayed in the United States for a year, giving lectures in American universities.
1978 was a very active year in his life, and he published many poems and translations, as well as giving numerous lectures and readings.
In 1947, he married Ashraf Isslamiya (d. 1978) and together they had three sons and a daughter: Siavash Shamlou, (1948–2009), Sirous Shamlou, Saman Shamlou, Saghi Shamlou.
His second marriage to Tusi Hayeri Mazandarani (d. 1992) who was fourteen years older than Shamlou, ended in divorce in 1963 after four years of marriage.
He died on Sunday, July 23, 2000, at 9 p.m. at his home in Dehkadeh in Karaj due to complications from his diabetes.
The Spanish poet, Federico García Lorca, the African American poet Langston Hughes, the French thinker and writer, Louis Aragon, and Nima Youshij are among the figures who influenced him.
One of the disciple of Nima Youshij, Shamlou, standing among the generation who adopted his techniques, constantly sought untried ways, new poetic realms.
He quickly became the flag bearer of young Iranian poets and writers that included Forough Farrokhzad, Sohrab Sepehri, Mehdi Akhavan Sales, Yadollah Roya’i, Nosrat Rahmani, and Nader Naderpour.
Shamlou's poems are filled with mythological concepts and symbols to glorify seemingly simple and ordinary figures who are politically condemned for their revolutionary beliefs that, regardless of governmental suppression, actually reflect the activists’ deep love of their nation and people.
Even though his focus is the purity of such individuals, many of whom were his close friends, Shamlou writes his elegiac poems boldly and does not hold back from criticizing and denouncing hypocrisy and cruelty of his society.
Shamlou was a Marxist and a socially minded intellectual who has woven personal love and affection together with his social attitudes.
During his long life, Shamlou was politically active and imprisoned twice, first after the end of World War II and then after the 1953 coup, but he continued to remain socio-politically active by writing poems devoted to political and social critique even after the Iranian Revolution.
In 1977, one year before the collapse of Shah's Regime, he signed an open letter which supported the rights of gathering for members of The Writers Association of Iran.
However, with a view to his popularity, the ruling clerics could not arrest him, but at the same time didn't allow publication of his works for many years.
As a vertically integrated company, Luxottica designs, manufactures, distributes and retails its eyewear brands, including LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, Apex by Sunglass Hut, Pearle Vision, Sears Optical, Target Optical, Eyemed vision care plan, and Glasses.com.
Luxottica also makes sunglasses and prescription frames for designer brands such as Chanel, Prada, Giorgio Armani, Burberry, Versace, Dolce and Gabbana, Miu Miu and Tory Burch.
Leonardo Del Vecchio started the company in 1961, in Agordo north of Belluno, Italy; today the company is headquartered in Milan.
Del Vecchio began his career as the apprentice to a tool and die maker in Milan, but decided to turn his metalworking skills to making spectacle parts.
So in 1961, he moved to Agordo in the province of Belluno, which is home to most of the Italian eyewear industry.
In 1967, he started selling complete eyeglass frames under the Luxottica brand, which proved successful enough that by 1971 he ended the contract manufacturing business.
In 1981, the company set up its first international subsidiary, in Germany, the first in a rapid period of international expansion.
The company listed in New York in 1990, and in Milan in December 2000, joining the MIB-30 (now FTSE MIB) index in September 2003.
The listing raised money for the company and allowed it to use its shares to acquire other brands, starting with Italian brand Vogue Eyewear in 1990, Persol and the United States Shoe Corporation (LensCrafters) in 1995, Ray-Ban in 1999 and Sunglass Hut, Inc. in 2001.
Luxottica later increased its presence in the retail sector by acquiring Sydney-based OPSM in 2003, Pearle Vision and Cole National in 2004.
Oakley had tried to dispute their prices because of Luxottica's large marketshare, and Luxottica responded by dropping Oakley from their stores, causing their stock price to drop, followed by Luxottica's hostile take over of the company.
In March 2014, it was announced that Luxottica would partner with Google on the development of Google Glass and its integration into Luxottica's eyewear.
On 1 September 2014, a new organizational structure was announced, composed of two co-CEOs, one focusing on market development and the other overseeing corporate functions.
After the exit of former CEO Andrea Guerra, Enrico Cavatorta was appointed CEO of Corporate Function and Interim CEO of Market (until new and permanent appointment to this role).
In 2016, it was reported that Luxottica had lost its third chief executive in a year and a half as Adil Mehboob-Khan stepped down a year after he replaced Cavatorta.
These brands are sold in the company's own shops, as well as to independent distributors such as department stores, duty-free shops, and opticians.
Luxottica Retail has approximately 9,000 retail locations in the United States, Latin America, Canada, China, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and United Arab Emirates.
With its merger with Essilor in 2018 the company owns Coastal/Clearly, an online contacts and glasses retail giant bought in 2014 that ships to over 200 countries beside its original North American market.
Luxottica owns not only a large portfolio of brands (over a dozen) such as Ray-Ban and Oakley but also retailers such as Sunglass Hut and Oliver Peoples, the optical departments at Target and Sears, as well as key eye insurance groups including the second largest glasses insurance firm in the US.
It has been accused of operating a complete monopoly on the optical industry and overcharging for its products; for example, temporarily dropping competitor Oakley from its frame design list, then, when the company stock crashed, purchasing the company, then increasing the prices of its Ray-Ban sunglasses.
In addition, it has been argued that, by owning the vision insurance company EyeMed, it also controls part of the buyers' market as well.
The company has said that the market is highly competitive, and that their frames account for ~10% of sales worldwide and ~20% in the United States.
Euromonitor International estimated that Luxottica's market share was 14% worldwide, with the second-largest company in the industry, Essilor, holding a 13% market share.
In October 2018, Luxottica and Essilor merged into a single company, EssilorLuxottica, which now occupies nearly 30% of the global market share and represents almost a billion pairs of lenses and frames sold annually.
Also starring are Cheryl Hines as his wife, Cheryl; Jeff Garlin as his manager, Jeff; and Susie Essman as Jeff's wife, Susie.
He is accused of having an adultery-implying erection because of his extremely baggy trousers that bunch up when he sits down; feuding with a shoe salesman; getting blamed for a newspaper typo after submitting an obituary for Cheryl's aunt; reacting offensively to drinking from his friend's mother's glass; and unintentionally causing someone to believe that his uncle is an incestuous pedophile.
Although this season has no major plot line, there is a small plot of Larry trying to obtain a bracelet to give to Cheryl and another small two-episode plot involving Larry and Cheryl trying to have a wire that runs through their backyard removed.
Larry pitches the idea to various networks, but eventually ends up alienating or offending everyone he makes a deal with, and anyone else attached to the project.
A few sub-plots involve Larry being cast in a Martin Scorsese movie, an on again, off again feud with Stu and Susan Braudy and Larry getting a pubic hair stuck in his throat.
Purely out of paranoid guilt, Larry offers one of his own to Richard if Richard cannot find a suitable donor in time.
Larry explores the possibility that he may have been adopted, because of a potentially misunderstood word his father said (and no longer remembers) while in the hospital—Larry hires a private investigator (Mekhi Phifer) to look into it.
A distracted phone call between Larry and Cheryl causes her to re-evaluate their marriage dynamic and they separate; Larry thus returns to the dating scene.
In order to avoid a charity gig, he goes with Jeff and Susie on a three-month trip to New York City, where he soon reunites with Leon.
Mohammad-Taqí Bahār was born on 10 December 1886 in the Sarshoor District of Mashhad, the capital city of the Khorasan Province in the north-east of Iran.
His mother's forebears were Georgian notables who had been captured by the troops of Abbas Mirza during the Russo-Iranian Wars and were taken to mainland Iran, where they eventually converted to Islam.
It has been said that Bahār knew by heart a very good portion of the Koran at a very early age.
It is known that Bahār chose this pen name after Bahār Shirvāni, a poet and close friend of his father's, after Shirvāni's death.
At the onset of the Constitutional Revolution of Iran (1906–1911), Bahār laid down his position of Poet Laureateship and joined the revolutionary movement for establishing the parliamentary system of democracy in Iran.
Bahār published numerous articles in his newspapers in which he passionately exhorted his readers to stand up and help bring about the establishment of a functioning Parliament.
He equally forcefully advocated creation of new and reformed public institutions, a new social and political order and of new forms of expression.
In 1918, when Ahmad Shah Qajar, the seventh and the last ruler of the Qajar dynasty, was in power, Bahār reinvented himself: he ceased all his clerical activities and became an entirely new man.
In fact, this magazine became Bahār's vehicle for publication of the results of his literary researches and introduction of Western Literature to Iranians.
Following establishment of Tehran University in 1934 (during the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi), Bahār became Professor of Persian Literature at the Faculty of Literature of this University.
In the course of his tenure as Professor, he dedicated most of his time to writing and editing books on Persian Literature and History.
In 1945, during Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi's reign, Bahār served for a short period as the Minister of Culture and Education in the Cabinet of the then Prime Minister Ahmad Ghavam (aka Ghavam o-Saltaneh).
Many scholars have strongly emphasized and documented that Bahār's style of writing and the beauty of his poetry, in addition to his deep passion for Iran and his persistent opposition to fanaticism, have indeed made him one of the greatest cultural icons of modern Iran.
Although he worked for some period of time as a clergyman and preacher, his first and foremost passion had always been writing, especially of poetry, as well as carrying out historical researches and teaching.
One may argue that, to varying degrees, almost all the early advocates of modernism in Persian Poetry and Literature found their inspirations in the new developments and changes that had taken place in Western literature.
Nonetheless, such inspirations would not have easily resulted in changes without the efforts and support of such figures as Bahār, whose literary contributions were, and remain consonant with Iranian culture.
Bahār's Official Website has made a selection of Bahār's poetry available to the general public, which the interested reader may wish to consult.
The Chained White Beast is a poem by Bahar, in which he praises Damavand, the highest mountain in Iran, and presents it as a symbol of patriotism.
The poem is written in 1922, at the height of the reign of Reza Shah, the tyrant and modernist king of Iran.
While Reza Shah was trying to limit the power of other institutions, such as parliament and religious system of clergies, the opportunity has come for the nationalists to take the floor and criticize the regime.
Bahar's symbolism for provoking patriotic upheavals is a reflection of the growth for notion of nationalism which had been introduced to Iranians only few decades before.
In this passage, Bahar describes Damavand as a beast, and asks it to rise and wipe out the injustice, and let the real Iran flourish.
He has been associated with the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA) for six decades as a player, coach and broadcaster.
He has since spent over thirty years as the color commentator for the Celtics' local broadcasts alongside play-by-play commentator Mike Gorman.
Heinsohn is the only person to have the distinction of being involved in an official team capacity in each of the Celtics' 17 championships, as well as each of their 21 NBA Finals appearances.
He accepted a scholarship to Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts and became the school's all-time leading scorer with 1,789 points, an average of 22.1 points per game.
In his first season, Heinsohn played in an NBA All-Star Game, was named the NBA Rookie of the Year over teammate Bill Russell, and won his first championship ring.
He was part of a Celtics squad that won eight NBA titles in nine years, including seven in a row between 1959 and 1965.
He was the association's second president (following founding president Bob Cousy), and was instrumental in the league's acceptance of free agency following a showdown at the All-Star game in 1964, in which the All-Star players, led by Heinsohn, threatened to strike.
He led the team to a league best 68–14 record during the 1972–73 season and was named Coach of the Year, although Boston was upset in the playoffs.
On February 14, 2015, it was announced that Heinsohn would be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame for a second time as a coaching inductee.
He is one of five members of the class of 2015 who were directly elected and is just one of four people to be inducted as both a player and coach.
In 1981, Heinsohn joined Mike Gorman as color commentator in the Celtics' television broadcasts; they have since become one of the longest-tenured tandems in sports broadcasting history.
For a time in the 1980s, Heinsohn was in the same capacity during CBS's playoff coverage of the NBA (with Dick Stockton), calling four Finals from 1984 to 1987, three of which involved the Boston Celtics against the Los Angeles Lakers.
During broadcasts he is known for his sense of humor and indignantly questioning game officials when calls against the Celtics appear to be made in error.
Brian Scalabrine, the Celtics' studio analyst, has filled in for Heinsohn during his rare absences at home games and now has taken over for Heinsohn on all road games.
He started to take on this role during the 2012–13 NBA season, and during the 2014–2015 NBA season became full-time on road games.
Catherine Lisa Bell was born on 14 August 1968 in London to a Scottish father, Peter Bell, and an Iranian mother, Mina Ezzati.
She also worked as a massage therapist for 8 years at the Peninsula Hotel, and her clients included singer Peter Gabriel.
NBC canceled the show after which it was picked up by CBS, which restructured the series, incorporating a female Marine Corps lawyer character, Sarah MacKenzie.
Production began on the film in March 2017, with Vancouver as the filming location, and 9 July 2017 as the date for the film's premiere on the Hallmark Channel.
However, Bell's prediction occurred after the NFC and AFC championship games had already been completed, so she did not predict the teams that would be participating, only the final score.
In 2014, Bell paid $2.05 million for a recently remodeled, , single-story ranch house on a lot in the gated Hidden Hills community in the western suburbs of Los Angeles.
In December 2005, Bell helped promote the gala opening of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (a Scientology supported group), .
The film includes cameo performances by Isaac Hayes, Erika Christensen, Jenna Elfman and Lynsey Bartilson and promotes human rights with a rap song.
The nationalists, identified as Lolita Lebrón, Rafael Cancel Miranda, Andres Figueroa Cordero, and Irvin Flores Rodríguez, unfurled a Puerto Rican flag and began shooting at Representatives in the 83rd Congress, who were debating an immigration bill.
While the Nationalists and other political parties supported independence, some political parties supported autonomy for the island within a formal relationship with the United States.
During this period of unrest, the electorate increasingly voted for the People's Democratic Party (PPD), which by 1940 controlled a majority in the legislature.
The people could elect their own governor, who was of the PPD; a bicameral legislature was established, and executive functions similar to those of American states were developed.
The Nationalist president, Pedro Albizu Campos, ordered armed uprisings on October 30, 1950, in several towns, including Peñuelas, Mayagüez, Naranjito, Arecibo and Ponce.
The revolts resulted in many casualties: of the 28 dead, 16 were Nationalists, 7 were police officers, 1 a National Guardsman, and 4 were uninvolved civilians.
Two Puerto Rican Nationalists, who were living in New York City at the time, planned to assassinate the US President, Harry S. Truman.
On November 1, 1950, they attacked police and Secret Service to gain access to Blair House in Washington, D.C., where Truman was staying during major renovations of the White House.
Acknowledging the importance of the question of Puerto Rico's status, Truman supported a plebiscite in Puerto Rico in 1952 offering a choice between continued direct rule as a colony and limited autonomy.
While nearly 82% of those voting approved the new constitution and Free Associated State, or Commonwealth, independence was not an option on the ballot and most Nationalists boycotted the election.
In the early 1950s, Don Pedro Albizu Campos, president of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party, had been corresponding from his prison with 34-year-old Lolita Lebrón.
In 1954, a group of Nationalists, which included Lebrón, Rafael Cancel Miranda, Irvin Flores and Andrés Figueroa Cordero, decided to focus the world's attention on Puerto Rico's status, which they considered as a colony of the U.S.
Lebrón concluded that a single attack on the House of Representatives had a greater prospect for success than trying to attack multiple targets.
On the morning of March 1, Lebrón traveled to Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan, where she rendezvoused with the rest of the group.
When Lebrón's group reached the visitor's gallery above the House chamber, they sat while the representatives discussed the Mexican economy and issues of immigration.
The wounded lawmakers were Alvin M. Bentley (R-Michigan), who took a bullet to the chest, Clifford Davis (D-Tennessee), who was shot in the leg, Ben F. Jensen (R-Iowa), who was shot in the back, as well as George Hyde Fallon (D-Maryland) and Kenneth A. Roberts (D-Alabama).
The next morning in Puerto Rico, the Insular Police raided the home of Pedro Albizu Campos, president of the Nationalist Party, with guns and tear gas.
Under the command of the Chief of Police of Puerto Rico, Salvador T. Roig, they fired into Campos' home from the roof of a Pentecostal Church and from a boarding house which faced the home.
Albizu Campos's phones were tapped, his mail was being intercepted, and Albizu was under 24-hour surveillance by the FBI, the CIA and the Insular Police.
The Governor of Puerto Rico, Luis Muñoz Marín, revoked Albizu's pardon, and had the political leader returned to La Princesa prison, from which he had been released only six months before.
Two years later, on March 25, 1956, Albizu Campos suffered an embolism and a stroke while in prison, leaving him semi-paralyzed and mute.
He was not released from U.S. federal custody for another nine years, shortly before his death, which occurred on April 21, 1965.
On June 16, 1954, the jury declared the four guilty, except that Lebrón was acquitted of assault with the intent to kill and instead convicted of the lesser offense of assault with a deadly weapon.
The prosecutor demanded the death penalty but Judge Holtzoff decided maximum consecutive prison terms: 75 years' imprisonment for each of the men, and 50 years for Lebrón.
On July 13, 1954, the four defendants were taken to New York, where they appeared before federal Judge Lawrence E. Walsh of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, to face related charges, with additional co-defendants, of seditious conspiracy.
Judge Walsh sentenced them to six additional years in prison, except that Cancel Miranda, considered to be the primary shooter, received a total prison sentence of 85 years.
The four were sent to different prisons: Figueroa Cordero to the federal penitentiary in Atlanta; Lebrón to the women's prison in Alderson, West Virginia; and Flores Rodriguez to Leavenworth, Kansas, where Oscar Collazo was incarcerated following his involvement in the attempted assassination of President Harry S Truman in 1950.
Some analysts said this was in exchange for Fidel Castro's release of several American CIA agents being held in Cuba on espionage charges, but the US said that was not the case.
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a United States environmental law that promotes the enhancement of the environment and established the President's Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ).
NEPA's most significant outcome was the requirement that all executive Federal agencies prepare environmental assessments (EAs) and environmental impact statements (EISs).
However, a Federal agency taking action under authority ordered by the President may be a final agency action subject to NEPA's procedural requirements.
The relevant information provided by a NEPA analysis needs to be available to the public and the people who play a role in the decision-making process.
NEPA grew out of the increased public appreciation and concern for the environment that developed during the 1960s, amid increased industrialization, urban and suburban growth, and pollution across the United States.
The public outrage in reaction to the Santa Barbara oil spill in early 1969 occurred just as the NEPA legislation was being drafted in Congress.
Another major driver for enacting NEPA were the 1960s highway revolts, a series of protests in many American cities that occurred in response to the bulldozing of many communities and ecosystems during the construction of the Interstate Highway System.
Following nearly a century of rapid economic expansion, population growth, industrialization, and urbanization, it had become clear by the late 1960s that American progress had an environmental cost.
A congressional investigation into the matter yielded myriad evidence indicating a gross mismanagement of the country's environment and resources, most notably at the hands of the federal government.
Since its passage, NEPA has been applied to any major project, whether on a federal, state, or local level, that involves federal funding, work performed by the federal government, or permits issued by a federal agency.
Court decisions have expanded the requirement for NEPA-related environmental studies to include actions where permits issued by a federal agency are required regardless of whether federal funds are spent to implement the action, to include actions that are entirely funded and managed by private-sector entities where a federal permit is required.
This legal interpretation is based on the rationale that obtaining a permit from a federal agency requires one or more federal employees (or contractors in some instances) to process and approve a permit application, inherently resulting in federal funds being expended to support the proposed action, even if no federal funds are directly allocated to finance the particular action.
To declare national policy which will encourage productive and enjoyable harmony between man and his environment; to promote efforts which will prevent or eliminate damage to the environment and biosphere and stimulate the health and welfare of man; to enrich the understanding of the ecological systems and natural resources important to the Nation; and to establish a Council on Environmental Quality.
NEPA contains three sections: the first section outlines national environmental policies and goals; the second establishes provisions for federal agencies to enforce such policies and goals; and the third establishes the CEQ in the Executive Office of the President.
The purpose of NEPA is to ensure that environmental factors are weighted equally when compared to other factors in the decision making process undertaken by federal agencies and to establish a national environmental policy.
The act also promotes the CEQ to advise the President in the preparation of an annual report on the progress of federal agencies in implementing NEPA.
NEPA establishes this national environmental policy by requiring federal agencies to prepare an environmental impact statement to accompany reports and recommendations for Congressional funding.
NEPA is an action-forcing piece of legislation, meaning the act itself does not carry any criminal or civil sanctions, and therefore, all enforcement of NEPA must occur through the court system.
In practice, a project is required to meet NEPA guidelines when a federal agency provides any portion of financing for the project.
However, review of a project by a federal employee can be viewed as a federal action, and in such a case, it requires NEPA-compliant analysis performance.
NEPA covers a vast array of federal agency actions, but the act does not apply to state action where there is a complete absence of federal influence or funding.
Such laws can include but are not limited to the Clean Air Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.
If it is determined that the proposed action is covered under NEPA, there are three levels of analysis that a federal agency must undertake to comply with the law.
These three levels include the preparation of a Categorical Exclusion (CatEx); an environmental assessment (EA); and either a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), or, alternatively, the preparation and drafting of an environmental impact statement (EIS).
The agency shall involve environment al agencies, applicants, and the public, to the extent practicable, in preparing assessments required by § 1508.9(a)(1).
(e) Prepare a finding of no significant impact (§ 1508.13), if the agency determines on the basis of the environmental assessment not to prepare a statement.
§ 771.115(a) Class I actions such as a new controlled access freeway or a highway project of four or more lanes on a new location significantly affect the environment and therefore require an Environmental Impact Statement.
§ 771.115(b) and § 771.117(c) Class II actions such as construction of bicycle and pedestrian lanes, planning, noise barriers, and landscaping normally do not individually or cumulatively have a significant environmental effect and therefore may be categorically exempt unless there are unusual circumstances as provided in 23 C.F.R.
§ 771.117(c) all other actions are Class III actions requiring the preparation of an Environmental Assessment to determine the appropriate environmental document required.
A Categorical Exclusion (CatEx) is a list of actions an agency has determined do not individually or cumulatively significantly affect the quality of the human environment (40 C.F.R.
If a proposed action is included in an agency's CatEx, the agency must make sure that no extraordinary circumstances might cause the proposed action to affect the environment.
Actions similar to the proposed one may have been found to be environmentally neutral in previous EAs and their implementation, and so an agency may amend their implementing regulations to include the action as a CatEx.
An agency cannot rely on a CatEx prepared by a different agency to support a decision not to prepare an EA or EIS for a planned action; however, it may draw from another agency's experience with a comparable CatEx in seeking to substantiate a CatEx of its own.
The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) created Categorical Exclusions to reduce paperwork (40 CFR § 1500.4(p)) and reduce delay (40 CFR § 1500.5(k)) so agencies can better concentrate on actions that do have significant effects on the human environment.
The CEQ 2010 guidance emphasizes that Categorical Exclusions must capture the entire proposed action and not be used for a segment or an interdependent part of a larger proposed action.
Streamlining the NEPA process with categorical exclusions have been criticized, for example allowing BP's exploration plan that resulted in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill to use a categorical exclusion instead of requiring an Environmental Impact Statement.
EAs are concise public documents that include the need for a proposal, a list of alternatives, and a list of agencies and persons consulted in the proposal's drafting.
The purpose of an EA is to determine the significance of the proposal's environmental outcomes and to look at alternatives of achieving the agency's objectives.
An EA is supposed to provide sufficient evidence and analysis for determining whether to prepare an EIS, aid an agency's compliance with NEPA when no EIS is necessary, and it facilitates preparing an EIS when one is necessary.
Most agency procedures do not require public involvement prior to finalizing an EA document; however, agencies advise that a public comment period is considered at the draft EA stage.
EAs need to be of sufficient length to ensure that the underlying decision to prepare an EIS is legitimate, but they should not attempt to substitute an EIS.
If no substantial effects on the environment are found after investigation and the drafting of an EA, the agency must produce a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI).
This document explains why an action will not have a significant effect on the human environment and includes the EA or a summary of the EA that supports the FONSI determination.
If it is determined that a proposed federal action does not fall within a designated CatEx or does not qualify for a FONSI, then the responsible agency must prepare an EIS.
The purpose of an EIS is to help public officials make informed decisions based on the relevant environmental consequences and the alternatives available.
An EIS is required to describe the environmental impacts of the proposed action, any adverse environmental impacts that cannot be avoided should the proposal be implemented, the reasonable alternatives to the proposed action, the relationship between local short-term uses of man's environment along with the maintenance and enhancement of long-term productivity, and any irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources that would be involved in the proposed action.
This may happen if the agency believes that the action will have a significant impact on the human or natural environment or if the action is considered an environmentally controversial issue.
The responsible decision-maker is required to review the final EIS before reaching a final decision regarding the course of action to be taken.
A person suffering legal wrong because of agency action, or adversely affected or aggrieved by agency action within the meaning of a relevant statute, is entitled to judicial review thereof.
§ 706 the U.S. Congress provides for courts to make equitable remedies such as an injunction to compel agency action withheld or to set aside agency actions that are arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law.
Where one of the several issues presented becomes moot, the remaining live issues supply the constitutional requirement of a case or controversy.
See United Public Workers v. Mitchell, 330 U. S. 75, 86-94 (1947); 6A J. Moore, Federal Practice ¶ 57.13 (2d ed.
1972) page 1331) courts considered projects were beyond the reach of the courts (moot) if that project had progressed to where the costs of altering the project would outweigh benefits.
Nevertheless, by 1981 the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recognized some projects might proceed with construction in an attempt to evade the requirements of NEPA.
The building of the towers has not made the case hypothetical or abstract — the towers still cross the fields of the Landowners, continually obstructing their irrigation systems — and this Court has the power to decide if they may stay or if they may have to be removed.
If the fact that the towers are built and operating were enough to make the case nonjusticiable, as the dissent states, then the BPA (and all similar entities) could merely ignore the requirements of NEPA, build its structures before a case gets to court, and then hide behind the mootness doctrine.
Thus, courts have the equitable power to prevent those who use bad faith construction to evade U.S. Congress policies such as NEPA.
If stopping construction is the only request for relief in a NEPA complaint then logically construction cannot be stopped after completion.
Thus, when a decision to which NEPA obligations attach is made without the informed environmental consideration that NEPA requires, the harm that NEPA intends to prevent has been suffered.
* * * the harm at stake is a harm to the environment, but the harm consists of the added risk to the environment that takes place when governmental decisionmakers make up their minds without having before them an analysis (with prior public comment) of the likely effects of their decision upon the environment.
The way that harm arises may well have to do with the psychology of decisionmakers, and perhaps a more deeply rooted human psychological instinct not to tear down projects once they are built.
But the risk implied by a violation of NEPA is that real environmental harm will occur through inadequate foresight and deliberation.
The difficulty of stopping a bureaucratic steam roller, once started, still seems to us, after reading Village of Gambell, a perfectly proper factor for a district court to take into account in assessing that risk, on a motion for a preliminary injunction.
In determining whether a Federal court has the authority to decide a case (jurisdiction), Federal courts only consider the parts of a complaint supporting the federal issue cited.
Parts of a complaint requesting removal of anticipated construction can be ignored by Federal courts since construction was not an actual controversy at the time the complaint was filed.
Therefore, if project construction starts after a NEPA complaint is filed, the NEPA complaint will need to be amended or a new complaint filed to include the actual construction.
Courts balance the harm an injunction might cause to the defendant against the likelihood of environmental harms occurring and the degree of injury if the environmental harms occur.
Environmental injury, by its nature, can seldom be adequately remedied by money damages and is often permanent or at least of long duration, i. e., irreparable.
If such injury is sufficiently likely, therefore, the balance of harms will usually favor the issuance of an injunction to protect the environment.
We must next balance the irreparable harms we have identified against the harm to defendants if the preliminary injunction is granted.
Therefore In order to prevent NEPA cases from automatically becoming moot due to construction, NEPA complaints would need to request removal of bad faith constructions.
The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) was modeled after the Council of Economic Advisers, a group of advisers to the President, created by the Employment Act of 1946.
He directed the CEQ to issue guidelines for the proper preparation of an EIS and to assemble and coordinate federal programs related to environmental quality.
The Council was placed within the Executive Office of the President of the United States and is composed of three President-appointed members, which are subsequently confirmed by the Senate.
Its initial guidelines were issued in 1971, and required each federal department and agency to adopt its own guidelines consistent those established by CEQ.
These guidelines did not carry the status of formal agency regulations, but were often held in the court of law as such.
In 1977 President Jimmy Carter by executive order 11991 authorized the CEQ to adopt regulations rather than simple guidelines on EIS preparation.
The CEQ has taken measures within the past several years to prepare advisory documentation explaining the general structure of NEPA and the nature of cumulative impacts, among other advisories.
The National Environmental Policy Act promotes environmental justice by requiring federal agencies to include minority and low-income populations in their NEPA-mandated environmental analyses.
Executive Order #12898 requires federal agencies that are complying with NEPA to consider environmental effects on human health, and economic and social effects, specifically within minority and low-income populations, which are disproportionately impacted by environmental detriment.
After moving to New York City, he worked as a pianist in German clubs and was accompanist for silent films but never had a partnership before working with Lerner.
Conversely, Alan Lerner was born in New York City and attended Harvard where his first musical theater contributions came from working on collegiate Hasty Pudding musicals.
Early in his career At Harvard he collaborated with Leonard Bernstein but also did not have any official partnerships until he crossed paths with Loewe.
In August, 1942 at the Lambs Club in New York City 24 year old American, Alan Jay Lerner and 41 year old Austrian, Frederick Loewe, officially met one another.
As recounted by Lerner, the two men met by chance when Loewe took a wrong turn on his way to the bathroom.
The original Broadway production opened in 1947 at the Ziegfeld Theatre and won the Drama Critics Award for Best Musical of the Year.
The story takes place in California during the Gold Rush and focuses on the relationship between a father who works as a miner and his daughter.
Years later in 1969 Lerner had asked Loewe to return to the project to specifically write new songs for the film version.
At the result of many frustrated work sessions and the input of Oscar Hammerstein who too had tried to adapt the play with Richard Rodgers but failed, Lerner and Loewe abandoned the project.
The main goal of Lerner and Loewe was not simply to do justice to the original text, but to create the right songs to emphasize character.
It took many failed attempts, tossing out of unneeded songs and long hours at the piano before coming across the style they both wished to utilize, the dramatization of characters inner turmoil.
It was during this musical that Lerner and Loewe spent the most time perfecting songs, this came not just at the piano and consisted of playing music, but of talking out moments in the musical and what they both wanted to achieve from these moments.
When they were at the piano, Lerner has said of Loewe's style that he would often enter dream like states where he would continuously play until a musical moment appeared that they were both overjoyed with.
During the time it played it set the record for the longest running Broadway musical and has had numerous revivals of the production.
Due to it being outside of stage work, Loewe at first passed on the opportunity, but relented after reading the script.
While in Paris getting ready to start shooting, Lerner, being one more likely to make impulsive decisions bought a blue Rolls Royce and convinced Loewe to buy a grey one in an exchange that lasted less than five minutes at the car dealership.
Lerner's creative process could take as little as a few hours, and as much as a few weeks, yet he never felt pressured nor shamed by his counterpart.
While Loewe did not require as long periods of time to compose his music as Lerner required to write lyrics, he could often be very uncertain in his choices and Lerner was able to provide him with reassurance.
The two were also partial to working in the early morning, particularly Lerner who believed all of his best writing was done as soon as he awakened.
In terms of personality, the two could not be more opposite, Lerner, the younger of the two and having been raised in New York always had an eagerness about him and was quick speaking and moving.
Loewe, the older of the two being brought up in Austria was more experienced and cynical, but each understood one another and developed a very deep friendship.
Ali Larijani (, ; born 3 June 1957) is an Iranian conservative politician, philosopher and former military officer in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who has been Speaker of the Parliament of Iran since 2008.
Larijani was the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council from 15 August 2005 to 20 October 2007, appointed to the position by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, replacing Hassan Rouhani.
Acceptance of Larijani's resignation from the secretary position was announced on 20 October 2007 by Gholamhossein Elham, the Iranian government's spokesman, mentioning that his previous resignations were turned down by President Ahmadinejad.
Larijani was one of the two representatives of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ali Khamenei to the council, the other being Hassan Rouhani.
In his post as secretary he effectively functioned as the top negotiator on issues of national security, including Iran's nuclear program.
His parents moved to Najaf in 1931 due to pressure of then ruler Reza Shah, but returned to Iran in 1961.
He also holds a bachelor of science degree in computer science and mathematics from Aryamehr University of Technology and holds a master's degree and Ph.D. in Western philosophy from University of Tehran.
Larijani served as the deputy minister of labour and social affairs, and then was appointed deputy minister of information and communications technology.
In March 1994, he was appointed as head of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, replacing Mohammad Hashemi Rafsanjani in the post.
He was in office until 21 July 2004 and was succeeded by Ezzatollah Zarghami after serving ten years in the post.
But he proved to be the least popular of the three conservative candidates, the others being Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (second rank in the first round, winner in the second round) and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf (fourth rank in the first round).
In 2005, Larijani was appointed secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, a body which helps draw up nuclear and other policies, by Khamenei.
As chief nuclear negotiator, Iranian analysts said he differed with the president over how to pursue negotiations with his European counterparts and say he backed a more pragmatic approach.
He was also elected for another term as chairman of the parliament on 5 June 2012 and was sworn in on 11 June 2012.
However, on 22 October 2012, during a QA meeting with the students of Iran University of Science and Technology, Larijani denied the allegations that he had congratulated Mousavi.
Iranian scholar Mehdi Moslem in his 2002 book named Factional Politics in Post-Khomeini Iran, suggests that Larijani had been a member of Motalefeh and part of the ‘traditional right’.
Payam Mohseni, a fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, classifies Larijani as a lead figure in the ‘theocratic right’ camp, whose other prominent are Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi and Mohammad Reza Mahdavi Kani.
Larijani was one of the leaders of the Principlists Pervasive Coalition in 2008 parliamentary elections, and a United Front of Principlists leader.
During Iranian 2016 parliamentary election Larijani was the leader of the Followers of Wilayat faction, although he was backed by the reformist List of Hope and said he is running as an independent candidate.
Larijani is known to have close associates, including the interior minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, Behrouz Nemati, spokesman for the parliament's presiding board, and Kazem Jalali, head of the parliament's research center.
Larijani is a brother of Sadegh Larijani (President of the Judicature), Mohammad-Javad Larijani, Bagher Larijani (Chancellor of Tehran University of Medical Sciences), and Fazel Larijani (Iran's former cultural attachée in Ottawa).
Pasta retired from the stage in 1835 and performed only infrequently after that date (including performances in London in 1837 and in Germany and Russia in 1840–1841.
Another pupil was Carolina Ferni, herself a noted Norma, who in her turn taught the soprano Eugenia Burzio whose recordings are known for their passionate expression.
The Vanuatu rain forests are a terrestrial ecoregion that includes the islands of Vanuatu, as well as the Santa Cruz Islands group of the neighboring Solomon Islands.
It is part of the Australasia ecozone, which includes neighboring New Caledonia and the Solomon Islands, as well as Australia, New Guinea, and New Zealand.
Ray-Ban is an American-founded Italian brand of luxury sunglasses and eyeglasses created in 1936 by the American company Bausch & Lomb.
In 1999, Bausch & Lomb sold the brand to the Italian eyewear conglomerate, Luxottica Group, for a reported US $640 million.
In 1929, US Army Air Corps Colonel John A. Macready worked with Bausch & Lomb, a Rochester, New York-based medical equipment manufacturer, to create aviation sunglasses that would reduce the distraction for pilots caused by the intense blue and white hues of the sky.
The company has also produced special edition lines, such as The General in 1987, bearing similarity to the original aviators worn by General Douglas MacArthur during the Second World War.
He won the decathlon gold medal at the Olympic Games in 1980 and 1984, and broke the world record for the event four times.
With four world records, two Olympic gold medals, three Commonwealth titles, and wins in the World and European Championships, Thompson is considered by many to be one of the greatest decathletes of all time.
Thompson was born in Notting Hill, London, the second son of a British Nigerian father, who ran a minicab firm, and Scottish mother, Lydia, from Dundee.
When Thompson was eleven or twelve, his father was shot dead in Streatham by the husband of a woman whom the father and a friend had dropped off.
Initially, he was a member of Haywards Heath Harriers, but when he returned to London in 1975 he joined the Newham and Essex Beagles Athletics club, training as a sprinter.
In 1979, he failed to finish in his only decathlon of that year, but won the long jump at the UK Championships.
Thompson opened the 1980 Olympic season with a world decathlon record of 8,648 points at Götzis, Austria, in May, and followed this with a comfortable win at the Moscow Olympics.
After a quiet 1981 season, he was in devastating form in 1982; back at Götzis in May, he raised the world record to 8,730 points and then in September, at the European Championships in Athens, he took the record up to 8,774 points.
In 1983, Daley won the inaugural World Championships and became the first decathlete to hold a continental title, in his case the European title, and the World and Olympic titles simultaneously.
He also became by virtue of his World title, the first athlete in any athletics event to hold Olympic, World, continental and Commonwealth Games titles in a single event simultaneously.
He spent much of the summer of 1984 in California preparing for the defence of his Olympic title, with Jürgen Hingsen, the West German who had succeeded Thompson as the world record holder, expected to be a major threat.
Thompson took the lead in the first event and was never headed throughout the competition, although it seemed that, by easing off in the 1,500 metres he had missed tying the world record by just one point.
When the photo-finish pictures were examined, however, it was found that Thompson should have been credited with one more point in the 110 metres hurdles so he had in fact, equalled Hingsen's record.
Then when the new scoring tables were introduced, Thompson became the sole record holder once more with a recalculated score of 8,847 points – a world record that stood until 1992, when it was surpassed by the American athlete Dan O'Brien with a score of 8,891.
Thompson won his third Commonwealth title in 1986 but after that he never quite recaptured the superlative form of earlier years.
In 1987, he suffered his first decathlon defeat for nine years when he finished ninth in the World Championships, and at his fourth Olympics in Seoul in 1988 he finished fourth.
The pair constantly traded world records, but Thompson always had the upper hand in the major events, remaining undefeated in all competitions for nine years between 1979 and 1987.
Thompson was an ambassador for the London 2012 Summer Olympics, focusing during the bid stage on highlighting the benefits that hosting the Olympics would bring to education and sport in schools.
In 2018, Daley joined Masterchef Gary Barnshaw and co founded DT10 Sports, creating & selling a range of low-sugar protein shakes and sports bars.
He won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award in 1982, and was appointed an MBE in the 1983 New Year Honours, and promoted to the CBE in the 2000 New Year Honours.
United States sprinter Carl Lewis had been dealing with rumours of homosexuality and the shirt was regarded as being cruelly directed at Lewis.
Eventually Gesner sent Schulz a demo recording of some of the songs and Gesner soon had permission to properly record them, which he did in 1966.
Orson Bean sang the role of Charlie Brown, Clark Gesner sang Linus, Barbara Minkus sang Lucy, and Bill Hinnant sang Snoopy (he reprised his role in the Off-Broadway production).
Prior to its opening, the musical had no actual libretto; it was several vignettes with a musical number for each one.
On March 7, 1967, the musical premiered off-Broadway at Theatre 80 in the East Village, featuring Gary Burghoff as Charlie Brown, Skip Hinnant as Schroeder, Reva Rose as Lucy, Bob Balaban as Linus, Karen Johnson as Patty (an early Peanuts character not to be confused with Peppermint Patty), and Bill Hinnant as Snoopy.
The off-Broadway cast recording, originally released on MGM Records, was later remastered by Decca Broadway/Universal Classics and re-released on September 31, 2000.
A Broadway production opened at the John Golden Theatre on June 1, 1971, and closed on June 27, 1971, after 32 performances and 15 previews.
Directed by Joseph Hardy and with choreography by Patricia Birch, the new cast consisted of Carter Cole as Schroeder, Grant Cowan as Snoopy, Stephen Fenning as Linus, Liz O'Neal as Lucy, Dean Stolber as Charlie Brown, and Lee Wilson as Patty.
In addition to the Broadway production, the success of the off-Broadway production spawned nine United States touring companies, playing in such cities as Chicago; Los Angeles; Altoona; Washington, D.C.; and San Francisco.
It featured new dialogue by Michael Mayer, who also directed, and additional songs and orchestration written by Andrew Lippa; choreography was by Jerry Mitchell and sets by David Gallo, Mayer's frequent collaborator.
Also featured were Kristin Chenoweth and Roger Bart as Sally and Snoopy, with each winning the Tony award in the respective category.
The cast featured Morgan Karr as Charlie Brown, David Larsen as Schroeder, Tom Deckman as Snoopy, Matt Crowle as Linus, Carmen Ruby Floyd as Lucy, and Kenita R. Miller as Sally.
At noon, Linus, Lucy, Schroeder, and Charlie Brown are working on their Peter Rabbit book reports, each in his or her own way.
That evening, Snoopy complains that he hasn't been fed yet, and begins to overly complicate and dramatize the matter until Charlie Brown shows up with his dinner.
With that realization, he concludes that today hasn't been so bad, after all, and he's done a lot of things that make him happy.
The piano player can also be doubled on celeste, toy piano, and melodica; the first woodwind plays flute and piccolo; the second is the second flute part; the third and fourth are the first and second clarinet parts respectively; the fifth on bass clarinet and tenor sax.
The piano player can double on keyboard synthesizer and kazoo; the bass player doubles on electric and acoustic bass, tenor recorder, and kazoo (in the original Broadway pit the bass player also doubled on acoustic and electric guitar); the woodwind part doubles on piccolo, flute, clarinet, soprano and alto sax, soprano recorder, and kazoo; the violin part also doubles on viola, alto recorder, kazoo, and tambourine.
The percussionist primarily plays drum set but doubles on vibraphone, bells, triangle, timpani, and xylophone, with the parts intended to be played with a synthesizer.
Articles about the 1999 revision while it was in previews noted that the one difference between the original production and the 1999 version was that the latter reflected the increased ethnic diversity of casting over the decades that had passed, with Schroeder being played by an African American actor (Mathis) and Linus by an Asian American (Wong).
This version was the first animated depiction of Snoopy with comprehensible dialogue, voiced by Robert Towers, who previously portrayed the role in the 1967 Los Angeles production alongside Burghoff as Charlie Brown and Judy Kaye as Lucy.
Original cast albums have been released for all three versions of the stage show, however the 1973 Hallmark Hall of Fame recording on Atlantic Records is no longer in print.
In geometry, Descartes' theorem states that for every four kissing, or mutually tangent, circles, the radii of the circles satisfy a certain quadratic equation.
If a straight line is considered a degenerate circle with zero curvature (and thus infinite radius), Descartes' theorem also applies to a line and two circles that are all three mutually tangent, giving the radius of a third circle tangent to the other two circles and the line.
Ignoring the degenerate case of a straight line, one solution is positive and the other is either positive or negative; if negative, it represents a circle that circumscribes the first three (as shown in the diagram above).
If two circles are replaced by lines, the tangency between the two replaced circles becomes a parallelism between their two replacement lines.
It is not possible to replace three circles by lines, as it is not possible for three lines and one circle to be mutually tangent.
Note that the plus/minus sign in the above formula for z does not necessarily correspond to the plus/minus sign in the formula for k.
The generalization to n dimensions is sometimes referred to as the Soddy–Gosset theorem, even though it was shown by R. Lachlan in 1886.
Although there is no 3-dimensional analogue of the complex numbers, the relationship between the positions of the centers can be re-expressed as a matrix equation, which also generalizes to dimensions.
Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen in clandestine, stealth, or special operations, where their ability to return hostile fire is curtailed, are deemed eligible for consideration of the award.
The Navy Combat Action Ribbon was first authorized on 17 February 1969, and is awarded to members of the Navy and Marine Corps with the ranks of or lower than captain and colonel respectively.
Air combat does not meet the criteria for the Combat Action Ribbon; Naval Aviators, Naval Flight Officers and enlisted Naval Aircrewman, while in the performance of aerial flight, are eligible for consideration for the Air Medal, although this award requires far more combat exposure over a prolonged period.
The Navy Combat Action Ribbon is retroactive to 7 December 1941 and the Coast Guard Combat Action Ribbon is retroactive to 1 May 1975 (prior to 1975 Coast Guard members in Vietnam combat were awarded the Navy Combat Action ribbon).
For a military member to be awarded a Combat Action Ribbon evidence must establish the member engaged the enemy, was under hostile fire, or was physically attacked by the enemy.
The service member's enemy engagement must have been with honor to the United States and to the satisfaction of the Service.
Evidence must show a service member was in actual combat, not merely present in the area where combat is occurring; the mere presence in a combat zone does not qualify a service member for the award.
A U.S. Air Force combat participant is awarded the Air Force Combat Action Medal (AFCAM), which includes both full and miniature size suspension medals and a ribbon.
The CAR cannot be awarded to a military unit, station, or group, although multiple individual service members may be nominated for the award stemming from the same combat action(s).
The outermost blue stripe is always to the wearer's right; only one Combat Action Ribbon is authorized for wear, with each additional CAR award signified with a inch gold star attached to the ribbon.
In full dress uniform, medals are worn on the member's left side, because the Combat Action Ribbon is not a medal, the ribbon is worn on the right side of the member's uniform.
The CAR is currently authorized with a U.S. Navy (to include the U.S. Marine Corps) and a U.S. Coast Guard version.
The Navy version covers Navy and Marine Corps servicemembers from the establishment of the CAR in 1969, and was made retroactive to 7 December 1941.
Prior to 2008, U.S. Coast Guard servicemembers who were awarded the Combat Action Ribbon received the Navy CAR, because in most conflicts and wars Coast Guard members eligible for the CAR operated with or under the U.S. Navy.
Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard veterans are advised to submit eligibility requests, etc., to each of their respective branches in regard to the Combat Action Ribbon or additional awards of this award.
The Navy CAR is awarded to members of the Navy and Marine Corps (and Coast Guard, when operating under the control of the Navy during a war or national emergency), with the grade of captain/colonel and below, who have actively participated in ground or surface combat.
After the destroyer was attacked by terrorists in 2000, the entire crew of the ship was awarded the Combat Action Ribbon a year later.
In January 2013, the awarding criteria were expanded to include dangerous exposure to IEDs, mines, and scatterable munitions, be it the detonation of such or direct action taken to disable, render safe, or destroy such; servicemembers may be deemed eligible if the IEDs are detonated or specifically emplaced by the enemy.
In 2017, sailors from , , , and were awarded the Combat Action Ribbon after their ship was fired upon by rebels off the coast of Yemen in 2016, one of the few instances in the 21st century when U.S. Navy sailors aboard a commissioned warship were awarded the ribbon for combat occurring at sea.
The Coast Guard Combat Action Ribbon (CGCAR) was established by the approval of the Secretary of Homeland Security on 16 July 2008, in ALCOAST 361/08.
The Coast Guard version of the CAR is awarded to members of the Coast Guard who have actively participated in a ground or maritime engagement.
Criteria for the CGCAR also include personnel with direct exposure to the detonation of an improvised explosive device used by an enemy, and for personnel who serve in clandestine/special operations, or who are restricted in their ability to return fire, where the risk of enemy fire was great.
In 2009, the U.S. Coast Guard began awarding a Coast Guard Combat Action Ribbon (CGCAR) similar in design to the Navy Combat Action Ribbon.
Prior to 2008, Coast Guard members earning a Combat Action Ribbon received the U.S. Navy CAR because in times of conflict and war the Coast Guard in combat areas typically operated with or under the U.S. Navy.
For example, in the Vietnam War's Operation Market Time the U.S. Coast Guard had at any one time approximately 1,200 Coast Guard members participating in Operation Market Time.
Those Coast Guard members in Vietnam who engaged in combat were awarded the U.S. Navy Combat Action Ribbon by the Commander of U.S.
With its own Combat Action Ribbon, USCG members will now receive the Coast Guard CAR regardless if a member is operating in conjunction with or under the control of the U.S. Navy.
Those USCG members awarded the U.S. Navy CAR prior to 2009 are authorized to continue wearing the Navy award despite the availability of the Coast Guard Combat Action Ribbon.
The flexatone or fleximetal is a modern percussion instrument (an indirectly struck idiophone) consisting of a small flexible metal sheet suspended in a wire frame ending in a handle.
The instrument was first used in 1920s jazz bands as an effect but is now mainly and rarely used in orchestral music.
The player holds the flexatone in one hand with the palm around the wire frame and the thumb on the free end of the spring steel.
The player then shakes the instrument with a trembling movement which causes the beaters to strike the sides of the metal sheet.
While the instrument has a very limited dynamic range, volume can be controlled by how vigorously or delicately the player shakes the Flexatone.
An alternate technique involves removing the two wooden knobs and their mounting springs, and then using a small metal rod (e.g., a triangle beater) held in the free hand striking the strip of spring steel.
The flexatone is notated using tremolo lines (rolls) to indicate shaking the instrument and lines to indicate the desired direction of the glissando or a wavy line (chevron) to indicate alternating thumb pressure.
If using the instrument with the balls removed, indicate strikes with single notes followed by arrows indicating the direction of the glissando (similar to a guitar tab pitch bend).
The instrument is not often used in classical music, but it appears in the work of Arnold Schoenberg, Hans Werner Henze, Sofia Gubaidulina, György Ligeti and others.
It includes the settlements A dos Francos, Broeiras, Carreiros, Casais da Aramanha, Casais da Bica, Casais da Paraventa, Casais de Santa Helena, Casais Gaiolas, Casal da Palmeira, Casal das Cheiras, Casal das Sesmarias, Casal Sobreiro, Casal Pinheiro, Casal Val Covo, Salgueirinha, Santa Susana and Vila Verde de Matos.
The history and toponymy of this parish can be traced back to the French; the name, itself, evokes French ownership or dominion of this area.
In fact, it was Afonso Henriques, who had a hand in its nomenclature; in order to reward mercenary French crusaders who assisted his early campaigns, Afonso Henriques distributed some lands along the margins of the Tagus, living behind names that only hint at French influence, including Vila Franca and A dos Francos.
These foreign colonies including those in the Estremadura were favored by King Sancho, who also received complementary immigrants from Flanders, who populated the northern parts of the Tagus.
Yevtushenko was born Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Gangnus (he later took his mother's last name, Yevtushenko) in the Irkutsk region of Siberia in a small town called Zima on 18 July 1933 to a peasant family of noble descent.
He served as a soldier in the Imperial Army during World War I and as an officer in the Red Army during the Civil War.
After the Second World War, Yevtushenko moved to Moscow and from 1951 to 1954 studied at the Gorky Institute of Literature in Moscow, from which he dropped out.
The usual Soviet policy in relation to the Holocaust in Russia was to describe it as general atrocities against Soviet citizens, and to avoid mentioning that it was a genocide of the Jews.
He was part of the 1960s generation, which included such writers as Vasili Aksyonov, Andrei Voznesensky, Bella Akhmadulina, Robert Rozhdestvensky, Anatoly Gladilin; as well as actors Andrei Mironov, Aleksandr Zbruyev, Natalya Fateyeva, and many others.
During the time, Anna Akhmatova, a number of whose family members suffered under the communist rule, criticised Yevtushenko's aesthetic ideals and his poetics.
Alternatively, Yevtushenko was much respected by others at the time both for his poetry and his political stance toward the Soviet government.
Generally, however, Yevtushenko was still the most extensively travelled Soviet poet, possessing an amazing capability to balance between moderate criticism of Soviet regime, which gained him popularity in the West, and, as noted by some, a strong Marxist–Leninist ideological stance, which allegedly proved his loyalty to Soviet authorities.
In 1965, Yevtushenko joined Anna Akhmatova, Korney Chukovsky, Jean-Paul Sartre and others and co-signed the letter of protest against the unfair trial of Joseph Brodsky as a result of the court case against him initiated by the Soviet authorities.
In 1989 Yevtushenko was elected as a representative for Kharkiv in the Soviet Parliament (Congress of Peoples Deputies), where he was a member of the pro-democratic group supporting Mikhail Gorbachev.
In the post-Soviet era Yevtushenko actively discussed environmental issues, confronted Russian Nationalist writers from the alternative Union of the Writers of Russia, and campaigned for the preservation of the memory of victims of Stalin's Gulag.
After October 2007 Yevtushenko divided his time between Russia and the United States, teaching Russian and European poetry and the history of world cinema at the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma and at Queens College of the City University of New York.
In the West he was best known for his criticism of the Soviet bureaucracy and appeals for getting rid of the legacy of Stalin.
He was working on a three-volume collection of 11th to 20th-century Russian poetry, and planned a novel based on his time in Havana during the Cuban Missile Crisis (he was, reportedly, good friends with Che Guevara, Salvador Allende and Pablo Neruda).
13, which sets five of his poems, by the University of Maryland Symphony Orchestra and the men of the UM Choirs, with David Brundage as the bass soloist.
The performance was the idea of the then-President of the Moores School of Music Society, Philip Berquist, a long time friend of Yevtushenko, after the poet informed him that both works had never been performed together.
It is only the envy of people who couldn't stand against the propaganda machine, and they invented things about my generation, the artists of the '60s.
It was a generation crippled by history, and most of our dreams were doomed to be unfulfilled – but the fight for freedom was not in vain.
Yevtushenko's third wife was English translator Jan Butler (married in 1978) and his fourth Maria Novikova whom he married in 1986.
His son Yevgeny reported that Yevtushenko had been diagnosed with cancer about six years before and that he had undergone surgery to remove part of a kidney, but the disease had recently returned.
In 1993, Yevtushenko received a medal as 'Defender of Free Russia,' which was given to those who took part in resisting the hard-line Communist coup in August 1991.
A disguise can be anything which conceals or changes a person's physical appearance, including a wig, glasses, makeup, fake moustache, costume or other items.
A person working for an agency trying to get information might go 'undercover' to get information without being recognised by the public; a celebrity may go 'incognito' in order to avoid unwelcome press attention.
In comic books and films, disguises are often used by superheroes, and in science fiction they may be used by aliens.
In comic books and superhero stories, disguises are used to hide secret identities and keep special powers secret from ordinary people.
For example, Superman passes himself off as Clark Kent, and Spider-Man disguises himself in a costume so that he cannot be recognized as Peter Parker.
In epic poetry, Odysseus uses the disguise of a beggar to test his family's and servants' loyalty upon his return from a 10-year voyage.
Disguise is sometimes used in criminal activity and in spying, and is a common trend in detective fiction and in spy stories.
Arsene Lupin is feared in Maurice Leblanc's stories because of his extreme ability to disguise himself; this is a trademark of Lupin.
The Clay Camel, one of Mandrake the Magician's foes, is considered the Master of the Disguise, because he is able to mimic anyone and can change his appearance in seconds.
Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG, more commonly known simply as Lindt, is a Swiss chocolatier and confectionery company founded in 1845 and known for its chocolate truffles and chocolate bars, among other sweets.
The origins of the company date back to 1836, when David Sprüngli-Schwarz and his son Rudolf Sprüngli-Ammann bought a small confectionery shop in the old town of Zürich, producing chocolates under the name David Sprüngli & Son.
Before they moved to Paradeplatz in 1845, they established a small factory where they produced their chocolate in solidified form in 1838.
In 1994, Lindt & Sprüngli acquired the Austrian chocolatier, Hofbauer Österreich, and integrated it, along with its Küfferle brand, into the company.
In 1997 and 1998, respectively, the company acquired the Italian chocolatier Caffarel and the American chocolatier Ghirardelli, and integrated both of them into the company as wholly owned subsidiaries.
On 17 March 2009, Lindt announced the closure of 50 of its 80 retail boutiques in the United States because of weaker demand in the wake of the late-2000s recession.
On 14 July 2014, Lindt bought Russell Stover Candies, maker of Whitman's Chocolate, for about $1 billion, the company's largest acquisition to date.
In November 2018, Lindt opened its first American travel retail store in JFK Airport's Terminal 1 and its flagship Canadian shop in Yorkdale Shopping Centre, Toronto.
Lindt & Sprüngli has twelve factories: Kilchberg, Switzerland; Aachen, Germany; Oloron-Sainte-Marie, France; Induno Olona, Italy; Gloggnitz, Austria; and Stratham, New Hampshire, in the United States.
Caffarel's factory is located in Luserna San Giovanni, Italy, and Ghirardelli's factory is located in San Leandro, California, in the United States.
Lindor is a type of chocolate produced by Lindt, which is now characterized by a hard chocolate shell and a smooth chocolate filling.
The milk chocolate bunny wears a red ribbon, the dark chocolate bunny wears a dark brown ribbon, the hazelnut bunny wears a green ribbon, and the white chocolate bunny wears a white ribbon.
During the Christmas season, Lindt produces a variety of items, including chocolate reindeer (which somewhat resemble the classic bunny), Santa, snowmen figures of various sizes, bears, bells, advent calendars, and chocolate ornaments.
For St. Valentine's Day, Lindt sells a boxed version of the Gold Bunny, which comes as a set of two kissing bunnies.
In September 2017, an investigation conducted by NGO Mighty Earth found that a large amount of the cocoa used in chocolate produced by Lindt and other major chocolate companies was grown illegally in national parks and other protected areas in the Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world’s two largest cocoa producers.
The report documents how, in several national parks and other protected areas, 90% or more of the land mass has been converted to cocoa.
The Irish Guards (IG), part of the Guards Division, is one of the Foot Guards regiments of the British Army and, together with the Royal Irish Regiment, it is one of the two Irish infantry regiments in the British Army.
The regiment has participated in campaigns in the First World War, the Second World War, the Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan as well as numerous other conflicts throughout their history.
The Irish Guards claims six Victoria Cross recipients, four from the First World War and two from the Second World War.
Although restrictions in Ireland's Defence Act make it illegal to induce, procure or persuade enlistment of any citizen of Ireland into the military of another state, people from the Republic do enlist in the regiment.
The Irish Guards have buttons arranged in groups of four as they were the fourth Foot Guards regiment to be founded.
The Irish Guards regiment was formed on 1 April 1900 by order of Queen Victoria to commemorate the Irishmen who fought in the Second Boer War for the British Empire.
Following the outbreak of the First World War, 1st Battalion, The Irish Guards was deployed to France almost immediately, and they remained on the Western Front for the duration of the war.
During the early part of the war, the battalion took part in the Battle of Mons and formed the Allied rearguard during the Great Retreat.
The battalion then took part in one of the bloodiest battles of 1914, the First Battle of Ypres, which began on 19 October, which left major casualties among the old Regular Army.
The 1st Battalion suffered huge casualties between 1–8 November holding the line against near defeat by German forces, while defending Klein Zillebeke.
In September that year, the battalion, as well as the 2nd Irish Guards, who had reached France in August, took part in the Battle of Loos, which lasted from 25 September until early October.
The 1st Irish Guards took part in an action at Flers–Courcelette where they suffered severe casualties in the attack in the face of withering fire from the German machine-guns.
In 1917 the Irish Guards took part in the Battle of Pilckem which began on 31 July during the Third Battle of Ypres.
The Irish Guards also took part in the Battle of Cambrai in that year, the first large use of the tank in battle took place during the engagement.
In 1918 the regiment fought in a number of engagements during the Second Battle of the Somme, including at Arras and Albert.
The regiment then went on to take part in a number of battles during the British offensives against the Hindenburg Line.
The regiment's continued existence was threatened briefly when Winston Churchill, who served as Secretary of State for War between 1919 and 1921, sought the elimination of the Irish Guards and Welsh Guards as an economy measure.
During the Second World War, battalions of the regiment fought in Norway, France, North Africa and Italy and following D-Day in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.
Following a challenging sea voyage to Norway, the 1st Irish Guards arrived in May 1940 and fought for two days at the town of Pothus before they were forced to retreat.
While the 1st Irish Guards were fighting in Norway, the 2nd Battalion was deployed to the Hook of Holland to cover the evacuation of the Dutch Royal Family and Government in May 1940.
The guardsmen held out against overwhelming odds for three days, buying valuable time for the Dunkirk Evacuation, before they were evacuated themselves.
In November 1942, during the Second World War, Jean, Grand Duke of Luxembourg joined the British Army as a volunteer in the Irish Guards.
All three battalions of the regiment remained based in the United Kingdom until March 1943 when the 1st Battalion landed, with the rest of the 24th Guards Brigade, in Tunisia, to fight in the final stages of the campaign in North Africa.
The battalion saw extensive action while fighting through Tunisia and was subsequently deployed to the Italian Front in December of that year.
The 1st Battalion participated in the fierce fighting around the Allied beachhead and suffered severe casualties fighting off a German counterattack at Campoleone after which the depleted battalion was returned to the UK in April.
The Irish Guards returned to France in June 1944 when the 2nd and 3rd Irish Guards took part in the Normandy Campaign.
Both battalions served as part of the Guards Armoured Division and took part in the attempt to capture Caen as part of Operation Goodwood.
On 29 August, the 3rd Irish Guards crossed the Seine and began the advance into Belgium with the rest of the Guards Armoured Division towards Brussels.
The Irish Guards were part of the ground force of Operation Market Garden, 'Market' being the airborne assault and 'Garden' the ground attack.
The Irish Guards led the vanguard of XXX Corps in their advance towards Arnhem, which was the objective of the British 1st Airborne Division, furthest from XXX Corps' start line.
The Corps crossed the Belgian-Dutch border, advancing from Neerpelt on 17 September but the Irish Guards encountered heavy resistance which slowed the advance.
Following the conclusion of Market Garden, the Irish Guards remained in the Netherlands until taking part in the Allied advance into Germany and seeing heavy action during the Rhineland Campaign with Guardsman Edward Charlton winning the final Victoria Cross to be awarded in the European theatre.
During this time they were also part of the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) in Germany on a number of occasions.
The Irish Guards were one of the few regiments in the British Army exempt from service in Northern Ireland during The Troubles.
However, a Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) bomb blasted a bus carrying members of the regiment band to Chelsea Barracks in October 1981.
More recently, The Irish Guards were involved in the Balkans Conflicts when they were deployed to Macedonia and Kosovo in 1999 and were the first British unit to enter the Kosovan capital city of Pristina on 12 June.
The regiment played a significant role in the initial stages of the Iraq War as part of the 7th Armoured Brigade and they led the British advance into Basra in March 2003.
Following the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, 1st Battalion, Irish Guards were deployed in London to guard key locations, including the Ministry of Defence building in Whitehall, as part of Operation Temperer.
Later that year a company from Irish Guards deployed to the Falkland Islands as the Roulement Infantry Company returning home in 2018.
The Irish Guards deployed to Iraq in December 2019 to help train the Iraqi security forces in their fight against ISIS as part of Operation Shader.
However, the deployment rapidly changed in January 2020 with the escalation of the 2019–20 Persian Gulf crisis following the American killing of Major General Qasem Soleimani of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The Irish Guards' role switched from training to force protection in order to protect British assets in Iraq from possible retaliation by Iran.
The 1st Battalion Irish Guards is broken down into five separate Companies; three rifle companies, No.1, No.2, and No.4 Companies, along with No.3 (Support) Company, and the Headquarters Company.
In common with the other Guards regiments, the regimental organization also includes the Band of the Irish Guards and the Corps of Drums (a fife and drum band).
As a result of the Army 2020 Refine reforms, the Irish Guards are in the process of relocating from Cavalry Barracks, Hounslow to Mons Barracks at Aldershot Garrison.
Irish Guardsmen who have completed P Company are transferred into the Guards Parachute Platoon, which is currently attached to the 3rd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment.
The Guards Parachute Platoon maintains the tradition established by No 1 (Guards) Independent Parachute Company that was part of the original Pathfinder Group of 16th Parachute Brigade, which has since been designated as the 16th Air Assault Brigade.
Buttons are worn in two rows of four, reflecting the regiment's position as the fourth most senior Guards regiment, and the collar is adorned with a shamrock on either side.
A plume of St Patrick's blue was selected because blue is the colour of the mantle and sash of the Order of St Patrick, a chivalric order, founded by George III of the United Kingdom for the Kingdom of Ireland in February 1783 from which the regiment also draws its cap star and motto.
On the beret ranks from Guardsman to Lance Sergeant wear a brass or staybrite cap badge, Sergeants and Colour Sergeants wear a bi-metal cap badge, Warrant Officers wear a silver plate gilt and enamel cap badge and commissioned officers of the regiment wear an embroidered cap badge.
Bagpipers wear saffron kilts rather than tartan, green hose with saffron flashes and heavy black shoes known as brogues with no spats, a rifle green doublet with buttons in fours and a floppy hat known as a caubeen rather than a feather bonnet.
A green cloak with four silver buttons is worn over the shoulders and is secured by two green straps that cross over the chest.
Prince William, who is Colonel of the Irish Guards, wore the uniform of the Irish Guards for his marriage to Kate Middleton.
The training is two weeks more than the training for the Regular line infantry regiments of the British Army; the extra training, carried out throughout the course, is devoted to drill and ceremonies.
Since 1902, an Irish Wolfhound has been presented as a mascot to the regiment by the members of the Irish Wolfhound Club, who hoped the publicity would increase the breed's popularity with the public.
Originally, the mascot was in the care of a drummer boy, but is now looked after by one of the regiment's drummers and his family.
It is customary for the regiment to begin the day's celebrations with the Guardsmen being woken by their officers and served gunfire.
In 1950 King George VI marked the fiftieth anniversary of the formation of the Irish guards by presenting the Shamrocks on St Patrick´s Day.
This honour was mirrored by King George's surviving wife, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, fifty years later when she presented shamrocks to the regiment on St. Patrick's Day in their centenary year of 2000.
For the Slavic congregation in Rome was established Illyrian brotherhood of St. Jerome, which was confirmed by Pope Nicholas V in 1452.
Slavs founded fifteen settlements in Molise, according Giacomo Scotti with around seven or eight thousand people, of which only three (San Felice, Montemitro, Acquaviva Collecroce) today have a Slavic-speaking community.
The existence of this Slavic colony was first mentioned in the 1850s, and was unknown outside Italy until 1855 when linguist Medo Pucić from Dubrovnik did one of his journeys to Italy and overheard a tailor in Naples speaking with his wife in a language very similar to Pucić's own.
Risto Kovačić, Miroslav Pantić, Giovanni de Rubertis and Graziadio Isaia Ascoli, considered Molise Croats to be Serbs from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbian littoral.
As such, Josip Aranza considered Zadar region, R. T. Badurina southern Istria, Mate Hraste the hinterland of Zadar and Šibenik, while Walter Breu the Neretva valley.
According to linguistic features it has been established that the area of origin was Zabiokovlje and Makarska Riviera (Josip Smodlaka, Josip Barač, Milan Rešetar, Žarko Muljačić, Dalibor Brozović, Petar Šimunović).
The language of Molise Croats belongs to Western Shtokavian dialect of Ikavian accent, with many features and lexemes of Chakavian dialect.
The lexicon comparison points to the similarity with language of Sumartin on Brač, Sućuraj on Hvar, and Račišće on Korčula, settlements founded almost in the same time as those in Molise, and together point to the similarity of several settlements in South-Western and Western Istria (see Southwestern Istrian dialect), formed by the population of Makarska hinterland and Western Herzegovina.
Giacomo Scotti noted that the ethnic identity and language was only preserved in San Felice, Montemitro and Acquaviva Collecroce thanks to the geographical and transport distance of the villages from the sea.
Josip Smodlaka noted that during his visit in the early 1900s the residents of Palata still knew to speak in Croatian language about basic terms like home and field works, but if the conversation touched more complex concepts they had to use the Italian language.
A legend says that they came to the new country on one Friday in May carrying only the statue of Saint Lucy.
They made their living mainly with farming (mostly producing grain, as well as some vine-cultivation and other kinds of agriculture) and stock-breeding, as well as home lacemaking.
The long-term exposure to the disintegration processes and Italian foreign language surrounding, as well absence of cultural institutions, resulted in the loss of ethnic identity.
The ethnic identity of Molise Croats consists of a common language, personal names and toponyms, common customs (living and dressing), as well an oral tradition of migration.
), Montemitro (460), San Siase (960), San Felice (1009), Tavenna (1325), and noted that the residents of Ripalta (781) spoke equally poorly Slavic and Italian.
During the years, due to economic and social issues, many families migrated to Northern Italy, Switzerland, Germany, and overseas to United States, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, and Western Australia.
AMSAT-OSCAR-40, also known as AO-40 or simply OSCAR 40, was the on-orbit designation of an amateur radio satellite of the OSCAR series.
Following the failure of the Phase 3A launcher, design studies were undertaken and construction started for two successor satellites, that became AO-10 (Phase 3B) and AO-13 (Phase 3C) respectively.
This idea was later shelved, and design of Phase 3D (on-orbit name: AO-40) was undertaken under direction of the project team based in Germany, involving amateur radio payloads from many countries in Europe.
Assembly was done at AMSAT's Spacecraft Integration Facility in the 'Free Trade Zone Building' at the Orlando International Airport, Orlando, Florida from 1994 to 2000.
It was launched on 16 November 2000, on an Ariane 5 launch vehicle from Kourou, in French Guiana, and reported cost was 4.5 Million USD.
The Command Team were able to infer that there had been an explosion caused by pressure in the propellant pipes caused by malfunction of the control valves.
The loss of the motor caused AO-40 to be left in an equatorial orbit that the satellite was not designed for.
As a result of this incident several pieces of radio equipment no longer functioned or were not able to be commissioned.
Following strenuous efforts by the Command Team, signals were restored on 25 December 2000 at 2145 UTC when Command Team member Ian Ashley (amateur radio call sign ZL1AOX) of New Zealand successfully sent a 'reset' signal to the satellite.
Onboard cameras were used to establish the attitude of the satellite, and the magnetorquer system was used to spin-stabilize the satellite.
On 25 January 2004, telemetry from the main battery was observed to go to an extremely low voltage by Stacey Mills (amateur radio call sign W4SM), a member of the Command Team.
Just prior to the loss of control of the satellite, the auxiliary battery came online in parallel with the main battery.
It is possible that one day an open-circuit failure may occur in the main battery, in which case the spacecraft may come to life again.
The command team believe that the main battery failure was probably a consequence of damage done during the initial explosive event, and it is likely that similar damage was done to the auxiliary battery, making an eventual recovery of AO-40 unlikely.
It is clear that the initial explosion blew open the end of the spacecraft to which the omni antennas were attached.
This exposed the underlying batteries to major fluctuations in temperature and the explosion itself may have caused physical damage to the cells.
Following this final failure, the new keplerian elements have persistently shown an increase in orbital period corresponding to an increase in the semi-major axis of AO-40's orbit by approximately 2.7 km.
Assuming AO-40 had a mass of 400 kg, this change required approximately 160,000 joules of energy directed along the velocity vector.
Since an explosion would be unlikely to focus its energy so precisely, it is likely that a considerably larger explosion occurred synchronous with the final battery failure.
On 9 March 2004, Colin Hurst (amateur radio call sign VK5HI) of Australia, a member of the command team, heard a change in the level of radio noise at the expected beacon frequency during the period 0310 to 0320 UTC (orbit 1541).
All telemetry captured by the command team, and its network of helpers, is archived on the web at the AMSAT website.
The term diaspora language, coined in the 1980s, is a sociolinguistic idea referring to a variety of languages spoken by peoples with common roots who have dispersed, under various pressures and often globally.
Considered an endangered language, Molise Slavic is spoken by approximately 3,500 people in the villages of Montemitro, San Felice del Molise, and Acquaviva Collecroce in southern Molise, as well as elsewhere in southern Italy.
The language developed as a result of refugees arriving in Italy from the eastern Adriatic coast during the 15th and 16th centuries.
A study of African American enclaves in Nova Scotia, Canada and Samaná, Dominican Republic shows a high similarity in the African American Vernacular English (AAVE) spoken there and the early versions of AAVE that originated in the south during the 19th century.
AAVE in the United States on the other hand has changed substantially due in part to the Great Migration that happened in the twentieth century.
Unusually, while most examples have a diaspora causing differences in language due to influence from another culture and languages, these enclaves maintained a form of language closer to the historical source, or branching point.
The great number of Hindi speakers in the United Kingdom has produced a strain of the language unlike that spoken on the Indian subcontinent where it began.
It is one of many languages that emerged as a result of the migration of the Jewish people throughout Europe, alongside Ladino (Judeo-Spanish), Italkian (Judeo-Italian), Knaanic (Judeo-Slavic), Yevanic (Judeo-Greek), and Zarphatic (Judeo-French).
Of these languages, Yiddish produced the most significant literature and served as an icon of Jewish identity throughout Central and Eastern Europe.
The Yoruba language can be found across the globe, on every continent, however enforced migration under colonial slavery resulted in a particular density in the Americas and pressure on Yoruba speakers to adapt or assimilate.
In the Caribbean, in particular, Yoruba culture, religion, and language have co-evolved with the needs of the enslaved populations, generating extensive hybridization and surviving into the current era.
The Santeria religion draws its roots from Catholic, Yoruba and Native American spiritual traditions, and its liturgical language is Lucumi, a dialect of the original predominantly Nigerian Yoruba.
In the aftermath of the Highland and Lowland Clearances, a great number of Scots emigrated to Canada, proportionately more than the other Anglo New World countries of the United States, Australia, and even New Zealand.
In the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the province of Galicia was considered the poorest in all of Europe, and was considerably over-populated.
While the western part, containing Warsaw, was more densely populated and better maintained, the eastern part, overwhelmingly Ukrainian, was considered the most backward part of the Empire and good for little more than as a source of troops for the army.
This led to a mass exodus of citizens, along with Ukrainians from the neighbouring region of Bukovina, to Canada, settling primarily in the Western provinces of The Prairies.
They brought with them not just their religion – western Ukrainians are predominately Ukrainian Catholic whereas the rest of Ukraine is largely Eastern Orthodox – but also their language.
To this day, Canadian Ukrainian is clearly reminiscent of the Western dialects, and has minimal influence from Russian (given that it had never been part of the Russian Empire and was only conquered by the Soviet Union after WWII, long after the Canadian Ukrainian community had been established), but proportionately greater influence from Polish and German, such as loanwords.
A commercial laser for cutting materials involved a motion control system to follow a CNC or G-code of the pattern to be cut onto the material.
The focused laser beam is directed at the material, which then either melts, burns, vaporizes away, or is blown away by a jet of gas, leaving an edge with a high-quality surface finish.
At the same time lasers were adapted to cut non-metals, such as textiles, because, at the time, lasers were not powerful enough to overcome the thermal conductivity of metals.
As the lasing material is stimulated, the beam is reflected internally by means of a partial mirror, until it achieves sufficient energy to escape as a stream of monochromatic coherent light.
Mirrors or fiber optics are typically used to direct the coherent light to a lens, which focuses the light at the work zone.
In order to be able to start cutting from somewhere other than the edge, a pierce is done before every cut.
Piercing usually involves a high-power pulsed laser beam which slowly makes a hole in the material, taking around 5–15 seconds for stainless steel, for example.
This beam is normally focused and intensified by a lens or a mirror to a very small spot of about to create a very intense laser beam.
In order to achieve the smoothest possible finish during contour cutting, the direction of beam polarization must be rotated as it goes around the periphery of a contoured workpiece.
Advantages of laser cutting over mechanical cutting include easier workholding and reduced contamination of workpiece (since there is no cutting edge which can become contaminated by the material or contaminate the material).
There is also a reduced chance of warping the material that is being cut, as laser systems have a small heat-affected zone.
Laser cutting for metals has the advantages over plasma cutting of being more precise and using less energy when cutting sheet metal; however, most industrial lasers cannot cut through the greater metal thickness that plasma can.
Newer laser machines operating at higher power (6000 watts, as contrasted with early laser cutting machines' 1500 watt ratings) are approaching plasma machines in their ability to cut through thick materials, but the capital cost of such machines is much higher than that of plasma cutting machines capable of cutting thick materials like steel plate.
In a fast axial flow resonator, the mixture of carbon dioxide, helium and nitrogen is circulated at high velocity by a turbine or blower.
Slab or diffusion cooled resonators have a static gas field that requires no pressurization or glassware, leading to savings on replacement turbines and glassware.
This is used to perform laser cutting functions while using the water jet to guide the laser beam, much like an optical fiber, through total internal reflection.
With a wavelength of only 1.064 micrometers fiber lasers produce an extremely small spot size (up to 100 times smaller compared to the ) making it ideal for cutting reflective metal material.
Some of the methods are vaporization, melt and blow, melt blow and burn, thermal stress cracking, scribing, cold cutting and burning stabilized laser cutting.
As the hole deepens and the material boils, vapor generated erodes the molten walls blowing ejecta out and further enlarging the hole.
Melt and blow or fusion cutting uses high-pressure gas to blow molten material from the cutting area, greatly decreasing the power requirement.
First the material is heated to melting point then a gas jet blows the molten material out of the kerf avoiding the need to raise the temperature of the material any further.
The separation of microelectronic chips as prepared in semiconductor device fabrication from silicon wafers may be performed by the so-called stealth dicing process, which operates with a pulsed , the wavelength of which (1064 nm) is well adopted to the electronic band gap of silicon (1.11 eV or 1117 nm).
When cutting low carbon steel with laser power of 800 W, standard roughness Rz is 10 μm for sheet thickness of 1 mm, 20 μm for 3 mm, and 25 μm for 6 mm.
Where: formula_2 steel sheet thickness in mm; formula_3 laser power in kW (some new laser cutters have laser power of 4 kW); formula_4 cutting speed in meters per minute.
The typical surface finish resulting from laser beam cutting may range from 125 to 250 micro-inches (0.003 mm to 0.006 mm).
This method provides a constant distance from the laser generator to the workpiece and a single point from which to remove cutting effluent.
Hybrid lasers provide a table which moves in one axis (usually the X-axis) and move the head along the shorter (Y) axis.
This results in a more constant beam delivery path length than a flying optic machine and may permit a simpler beam delivery system.
Flying optics lasers feature a stationary table and a cutting head (with laser beam) that moves over the workpiece in both of the horizontal dimensions.
Flying optic machines must use some method to take into account the changing beam length from near field (close to resonator) cutting to far field (far away from resonator) cutting.
In addition, there are various methods of orienting the laser beam to a shaped workpiece, maintaining a proper focus distance and nozzle standoff, etc.
Pulsed lasers which provide a high-power burst of energy for a short period are very effective in some laser cutting processes, particularly for piercing, or when very small holes or very low cutting speeds are required, since if a constant laser beam were used, the heat could reach the point of melting the whole piece being cut.
Essentially, the first pulse removes material from the surface and the second prevents the ejecta from adhering to the side of the hole or cut.
The maximum cutting rate (production rate) is limited by a number of factors including laser power, material thickness, process type (reactive or inert), and material properties.
Jerold Rosenberg was born in the Bronx to a Russian-Jewish household, to immigrant parents, Lena and Jacob Rosenberg, in the Bronx, New York City.
Introductions to singer Eddie Fisher and others brought him into contact with music publishers at the Brill Building, the center of songwriting activity in New York.
Ross met Richard Adler in 1950, and as a duo they became protégés of the great composer, lyricist, and publisher Frank Loesser.
The show won the 1955 Tony Award for Best Musical as well as the Donaldson Award and the Variety Drama Critics Award.
In his short life Ross was extremely productive; he wrote, alone or in collaboration, more than 250 songs in addition to his theatre work.
Ross was entered posthumously into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1982, his wife, Judy, and daughter, Janie, accepting on his behalf.
The company was founded by and is named after Italian chocolatier Domenico Ghirardelli, who, after working in South America, moved to California.
The Ghirardelli Chocolate Company was incorporated in 1852, and is the third-oldest chocolate company in the United States, after Baker's Chocolate and Whitman's.
By the time he was 20, Ghirardelli had sailed to Uruguay with his wife to work in a chocolate and coffee business.
Several months later, Ghirardelli opened a second store on the corner of Broadway and Battery in San Francisco, which became, in 1850, his first establishment in that city.
A fire on May 3, 1851 destroyed Ghirardelli's San Francisco business, and a few days later, his Stockton store also burned down.
However, in September of the same year, Ghirardelli used his remaining assets to open the Cairo Coffee House in San Francisco.
By 1855, a larger manufacturing facility was needed, and so the factory was moved to the corner of Greenwich and Powell Streets, while the office remained at the previous location.
By that time, the company not only sold chocolate, but also coffee and spices to the United States, China, Japan, and Mexico.
Since the 1960s Ghirardelli has also moved to focus on a restaurant division by selling ice cream sundaes complete with their famous hot fudge chocolate sauce.
The company then roasts the cocoa seeds in-house by removing the outer shell on the seed and roasting the inside of the seed, or the nibs.
In 2015, an independent laboratory tested over 120 chocolate products for lead and cadmium, and found that 96 of the 127 of them contained lead and/or cadmium above the safe harbor threshold of California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65).
Based on these results, As You Sow filed notices with over 20 companies, including Ghirardelli and Trader Joe’s for failing to provide the legally required warning to consumers that their chocolate products contain cadmium or lead, either or both.
Foz do Arelho is located 8 km west of Caldas da Rainha, in the northwest end of the council, and is limited north by the Atlantic Ocean and by the parish of Serra do Bouro.
East by the limits between the parishes of Serra do Bouro and Nadadouro and West by the ocean basin of Lagoa de Óbidos and the Atlantic Ocean.
Foz do Arelho started as being a small village belonging to the parish of Serra do Bouro, and was promoted to the category of parish in July the 5th, 1919.
As far as it can be remembered, Foz do Arelho was always a seasonal vacation resort, chosen by the elite families.
Most of the local inhabitants work in industry and services in Caldas da Rainha, but there is also a considerable number dedicated to touristy activities, seafood fishing (bivalve molluscs), and agriculture.
One can choose between swimming and sailing in the calm warm waters of the salt water lagoon, or surf and swim in the colder waters of the Atlantic.
There is a sailing centre, Escola de Vela da Lagoa, on the Foz do Arelho side which caters for experienced sailors by providing a range of equipment for rental, and beginners through its sailing schools.
Here it is possible to learn a watersport such as windsurfing, kitesurfing, sailing (including catamarans), canoeing, wakeboarding and water skiing, all in a beautiful landscape where forests roll down to the water’s edge and the Atlantic pounds on beaches at the entrance to the lagoon.
For those who are expert and daring enough to venture out into the waves, the lagoon offers an ideal launching place and a safe harbour to return to.
This gubernatorial race was especially significant in that it resulted in the first Asian American governor in the mainland United States (after George Ariyoshi of island state Hawaii), Democrat Gary Locke.
Though eligible for a second term, incumbent governor Mike Lowry chose not to run for reelection due to allegations of sexual harassment.
The Fender Stratocaster is a model of electric guitar designed from 1952 into 1954 by Leo Fender, Bill Carson, George Fullerton, and completed by Freddie Tavares.
The Stratocaster was the first Fender guitar to feature three pickups and a spring tension vibrato system, as well as being the first Fender with a contoured body.
The design featured a solid, deeply contoured ash body, a 21-fret one-piece maple neck with black dot inlays, and Kluson SafeTiPost tuning machines.
The color was originally a two-color, dark brown to golden yellow sunburst pattern, although custom color guitars were produced (most famously Eldon Shamblin's gold Stratocaster, dated 6/1954).
In 1960, the available custom colors were standardized with a paint chip chart, many of which were Duco automobile lacquer colors from DuPont available at an additional 5% cost.
A single-ply, eight-screw hole white pickguard (changed to an 11-hole three-ply in late 1959) held all electronic components except the recessed jack plate, facilitating assembly.
After 1965, the Fender company, under the control of CBS Instruments, saw a drop in quality control meaning lower quality build and lower grade instruments for customers.
Despite this, the popularity of Jimi Hendrix in the late 1960's saw a resurgence in sales due to his fondness for the instrument.
However, after 1974, the increased production of lower quality instruments by the company saw the advent of the Japanese entering the market to produce replicas of the pre-1966 Stratocasters.
Original Stratocasters were manufactured with five vibrato springs (three in late 1953 prototypes) attached to a milled inertia block and anchored to the back of the body.
In the floating position, players can move the bridge-mounted vibrato tremolo arm up or down to modulate the pitch of the notes being played.
As the average gauge has decreased over the years, modern Stratocasters are equipped with three springs as a stock option in order to counteract the reduced string tension.
Leo insisted it leave the factory floating (raised up in the back) while designer Freddie Tavares preferred it tightened flush for full bridge plate/body contact resonance.
Some players, such as Eric Clapton and Ronnie Wood, feel that the floating bridge has an excessive propensity to detune guitars and so inhibit the bridge's movement with a chunk of wood wedged between the bridge block and the inside cutout of the tremolo cavity, and by increasing the tension on the tremolo springs; these procedures lock the bridge in a fixed position.
There is considerable debate about the effects on tone and sustain of the material used in the vibrato system's 'inertia bar' and many aftermarket versions are available.
Guitarists soon discovered that by positioning the switch in between the first and second position, both the bridge and middle pickups could be selected, and similarly, the middle and neck pickups could be selected between the 2nd and 3rd position.
When two pickups are selected simultaneously, they are wired in parallel which leads to a slight drop in output as slightly more current is allowed to pass to the ground.
However in newer guitars, since the middle pickup is almost always wired in reverse (and with its magnets having opposite polarity), this configuration creates a spaced humbucking pair, which significantly reduces 50/60 cycle hum.
The neck and middle pickups are each wired to a tone control that incorporates a single, shared tone capacitor, whereas the bridge pickup, which is slanted towards the high strings for a more trebly sound, has no tone control for maximum brightness.
In the early 1960s, the instrument was also championed by Hank Marvin, guitarist for the Shadows, a band that originally backed Cliff Richard and then produced instrumentals of its own.
After the introduction of the Fender Stratocaster Ultra series in 1989, ebony was officially selected as a fretboard material on some models (although several Elite Series Stratocasters manufactured in 1983/84 such as the Gold and Walnut were available with a stained ebony fretboard).
In December 1965 the Stratocaster was given a broader headstock with altered decals to match the size of the Jazzmaster and the Jaguar.
When the Fender company was bought from CBS by a group of investors and employees headed by Bill Schultz in 1985, manufacturing resumed its former high quality and Fender was able to regain market share and brand reputation.
Dan Smith, with the help of John Page, proceeded to work on a reissue of the most popular guitars of Leo Fender's era.
These first few years (1982–1984) of reissues, known as American Vintage Reissues, are now high-priced collector's items and considered as some of the finest to ever leave Fender's Fullerton plant, which closed its doors in late 1984.
In 1985, Fender's US production of the Vintage reissues resumed into a new 14,000 square-foot factory at Corona, California, located about 20 miles away from Fullerton.
This was tailored to the demands of modern players, notably having a flatter fingerboard, a thinner neck profile and an improved tremolo system.
The model line received upgrades in 2000, when it was renamed as the American Series Stratocaster, and again in 2008, when the American Standard name was restored.
In 2017, the American Standard Stratocaster was replaced by the American Professional Stratocaster, with narrow frets, a fatter 'deep C' neck profile and V-Mod pickups.
As of 2019, these include the more affordable American Performer Stratocaster (successor to the Highway One and American Special Stratocasters) and the more expensive American Ultra Stratocaster.
Fender has also manufactured guitars in East Asia, notably Japan, and in Mexico, where the affordable 'Player' series guitars are built.
The Strat Plus was produced from 1987 to 1999 and was equipped with Lace Sensor pickups, a roller nut, locking tuners, a TBX tone control and a Hipshot tremsetter.
At the end of 2018, Luxottica operated 1,158 LensCrafters stores, of which 1,050 are located in North America and 108 are located in China and Hong Kong.
LensCrafters achieved sales of $2 million in its first year of operation before Butler sold the company to the United States Shoe Corporation in 1984.
LensCrafters had just three locations when U.S. Shoe purchased it; by 1989, there were 350 locations, and LensCrafters was generating 40% of U.S. Shoe's operating income.
In 1992, LensCrafters surpassed Pearle Vision to become the largest chain of eyeglass retailers in the United States, with roughly $660 million in annual revenue.
The parish of Nadadouro borders the popular tourist destination of the Lagoa de Óbidos which is a lagoon located in the municipalities Óbidos and Caldas da Rainha, Portugal.
Presidential candidates under its banner won every election from when military rule ended in 1990 until the conservative candidate Sebastián Piñera won the Chilean presidential election in 2010.
In 1987 General Augusto Pinochet, the de facto President of Chile, legalized political parties and called a plebiscite to determine whether or not he would remain in power.
Some Socialist factions were the last to join, because they were reluctant to work in the plebiscite, fearing election fraud by Pinochet.
However, in Chile's bicameral parliament, they had no majority in the Senate, a situation they found themselves in constantly for over 15 years.
This forced them to negotiate all law projects with the right-wing parties, the Unión Demócrata Independiente (UDI) and Renovación Nacional (RN) (later coalesced into the Alliance for Chile).
Frei was the son of Eduardo Frei Montalva, the founder of the Christian Democrat Party and himself a former President of Chile (1964–1970).
Gaining 57% of the votes, he defeated to the right-wing candidate, Arturo Alessandri Besa, becoming the third Christian Democrat president, and the second Coalition president.
In the same year, the Humanist Party, the Christian Left, and the Greens left the Coalition, accusing it of betraying the purpose for which it was born.
The Social Democrat Party and the Radical Party joined together to form the Social Democrat Radical Party, while the various former Socialist factions became part of the Socialist Party.
Frei's government faced two main problems: an economic crisis was raising the unemployment rate, and General Pinochet had been arrested in London.
However, since he got a plurality as opposed to a majority of the votes, a runoff vote was held, the first in Chilean history, in which Lagos won with 51% of the votes.
In 2005, two candidates were again proposed: the Christian Democrats' Soledad Alvear, a former Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Socialists' Michelle Bachelet, a former Minister of Defense.
However, in May 2005, after months of internal disputes regarding her party's directives, Alvear withdrew from the presidential race, deciding instead to run for senator in Santiago.
Bachelet therefore became the Coalition's candidate, and the second woman to run for Chilean President (the first being Communist leader Gladys Marín), competing with the UDI's Joaquín Lavín and RN's Sebastián Piñera.
On December 11, 2005, Bachelet won with 45% of the votes, but was forced to compete with Piñera in a runoff election.
In the same month, the coalition won 51.25% of the votes in the parliamentary elections, gaining 20 seats in the Senate and 65 seats in the Chamber of Deputies.
In American higher education, particular to the state of New York, a statutory college or contract college is a college or school that is a component of an independent, private university that has been designated by the state legislature to receive significant, ongoing public funding from the state.
The statutory college is operated by the university on behalf of the state, with the mission of serving specific educational needs of the state.
New York's statutory colleges are administratively affiliated with the State University of New York (SUNY) system, and receive funding from SUNY's operating budget.
Another statutory college, the New York State College of Forestry, was founded at Cornell in 1898, only to be closed in 1903 when outcry over a pending lawsuit led Gov.
Two of Cornell's current statutory colleges — the NYS College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the NYS College of Human Ecology — existed as non-state-supported colleges (as the College of Agriculture and the School of Home Economics, respectively) before state legislation was enacted to make each a state-supported entity.
The statutory colleges at Cornell grew out of Cornell's designation in 1865 as New York State's land grant college under the Morrill Act.
Under the Morrill Act, Cornell received land scrip based on the population of the state, and the proceeds formed the basis of Cornell's initial endowment.
Under the terms of the Cornell's 1865 charter from the Legislature, Cornell was obligated to teach agriculture, mechanical arts and military tactic.
By the 1890s, Cornell sought state funding to continue its mission in these areas, and the statutory colleges were formed as a vehicle for direct state funding.
In addition, around the start of the 20th century, new federal laws provided land-grant colleges (and their agricultural experiment stations and cooperative extension services) with annual funding conditioned upon matching state funds.
As a result, almost all of Cornell's land grant duties were transferred to its four statutory colleges, which receive such state funds through the present.
For example, when private funding was sufficient to assure operation of the hotel administration program of the College of Home Economics, it was spun off as a separate School of Hotel Administration in 1950.
The New York State College of Ceramics (NYSCC) consists of the School of Art and Design, with its own dean, and four state-supported materials programs cross-organized within Alfred University's School of Engineering.
The unit head assists with budget preparation for the two aforementioned AU schools and the NYSCC-affiliated Scholes Library of Ceramics (part of the campuswide, unified AU library system), and acts in a liaison role to SUNY.
The School of Art and Design, technically a subunit of the College of Ceramics but autonomously run with its own dean, is further subdivided into divisions.
Alfred's School of Engineering (also autonomously run with its own dean) currently has four state-supported programs and two privately endowed programs.
The New York State College of Forestry was reestablished at Syracuse University (SU) in 1911, but was never technically a statutory college.
In 1948, with the establishment of the State University of New York, the College became a specialized, doctoral-degree granting institution within the multi-campus SUNY system.
In 1972, the College's name was changed to the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF); it remains administratively separate from Syracuse University.
The two institutions share a common schedule of courses, students at the both institutions may take courses at the other institution, and can apply for admission to concurrent degree and joint certificate programs.
ESF students take part in joint commencement exercises in May (and receive diplomas with the seals of both Syracuse University and ESF), and ESF students may participate in all SU student activities except NCAA Division I intercollegiate sports.
However, the five existing statutory colleges have been affiliated with SUNY since its inception in 1948 (but had no affiliation with any umbrella organization before 1948).
The State Education Law does give the SUNY Board of Trustees the following authority: the Trustees must formally approve Cornell's and Alfred's appointment of the deans/unit heads of the statutory colleges, and control of the level of state funding for the statutory colleges resides with SUNY.
Additionally, the Education Law does mandate a consultatory role for SUNY: the statutory college should consult with SUNY when it sets tuition rates.
However, Cornell and Alfred have interpreted this to mean that SUNY does not have the right to create novel policies for the statutory colleges that are not explicitly stated in the Education Law.
If there is a conflict between Cornell or Alfred and SUNY in regard to a policy or action that SUNY is requiring from Cornell or Alfred, it must be resolved by negotiation between the two parties, although there is the legal right of court appeal by either party if agreement cannot be reached.
The state finances the construction of buildings for the statutory college programs, and New York State owns those buildings as well as the land beneath those buildings.
Since statutory colleges at Cornell and Alfred receive significant state funding, tuition rates for statutory colleges and for endowed colleges are determined separately.
At times, statutory college students who take more than their allotted credit hours from endowed colleges were required to pay such fees themselves.
Similarly, at various times, a student who matriculates into a statutory college and later transfers to an endowed college has been required to pay the difference in tuition upon the transfer.
Statutory college employees are covered by a separate pension plan and have separate pay scales and fringe benefits than their endowed college counterparts.
Legally, they are private and nonprofit; Cornell and Alfred Universities are private, nonprofit institutions, a status which extends to all of these universities' components, which are not separate corporations.
An analogy to this relationship is a private, nonprofit health agency which, under contract with a government, regularly receives government money to operate a research institute; the whole private, nonprofit agency (including the research institute) still remains a private, nonprofit entity.
There are two state-supported university systems in New York State: the State University of New York (SUNY), which has degree-granting units throughout the state, and the City University of New York (CUNY), which only has degree-granting units in New York City.
In 1911, the state created the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York, now known as the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) New York Consolidated Laws.
Additionally, there is the New York State Psychiatric Institute, a research facility of the New York State Office of Mental Health located at the Columbia University Medical Center in New York City.
It is not a statutory unit — it does not grant degrees, so it could not be called a college — despite being affiliated with Columbia's Medical Center and its Psychiatry Department.
The National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) is a constituent school of Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), located in Rochester, New York.
NTID offers programs — frequently in conjunction with RIT's other colleges/schools — tailored to deaf and hard-of-hearing students, and also offers programs to students who are not necessarily hearing-impaired but who wish to assist hearing-impaired individuals.
Domestic (i.e., United States resident) students enrolled in NTID receive a reduced tuition rate which is both lower than RIT's regular tuition rate, as well as lower than the comparable tuition charged to NTID's International (i.e., non-US-resident) enrolled students.
NTID was created through US Federal enabling legislation enacted in 1965, and receives Federal funding to subsidize the lower, domestic tuition rate.
Outside of New York, the privately run Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) has a financial-arrangement structure that is somewhat similar to that found in New York’s statutory colleges.
This arrangement dates from 1969, and was fostered by the state of Texas realizing, at the time, that it needed more physicians, coupled with Baylor University's awareness of this need and its trying to help alleviate it.
Baylor University’s (BU's) medical school, which had been part of BU since 1903, became an autonomous entity in 1969 and adopted the aforementioned tuition dichotomy at that time.
The state of Texas’ support of BCM is just to allay the cost of tuition for in-state students, and the state does not assist BCM with significant ongoing funding for research or outreach/extension purposes.
The divestiture of BCM from BU was necessary to avoid legal conflicts which would ensue from a religiously affiliated BU accepting ongoing State funding.
MD candidates are admitted to either the Miami or Boca Raton programs and spend all four years studying on the selected campus.
One of these statutory colleges, United College, founded by a college merger in 1747, today exists as essentially a non-administrative entity kept for the sake of history and tradition.
The other statutory college, St Mary's College, was founded in 1538, and is coexistent with the University's Faculty and School of Divinity.
The title also refers to the year 334 AD, during the later years of the Roman Empire; numerous comparisons are made between the decline of Rome and the future of the United States.
There have been no dramatic disasters, but overpopulation has made housing and other resources scarce; the response is a program of compulsory birth control and eugenics.
A welfare state provides for basic needs through an all-encompassing agency called MODICUM, but there is an extreme class division between welfare recipients and professionals.
Included are the islands of Bougainville and Buka, which are part of Papua New Guinea and most of the islands within the nation of Solomon Islands.
Excluded are the eastern islands of the nation of Solomon Islands, the Santa Cruz Islands, which lie in the Vanuatu rain forests ecoregion together with the neighbouring archipelago of Vanuatu.
Both ecoregions are part of the Australasia ecozone, which also includes the neighbouring Bismarck Archipelago and New Guinea, as well as New Caledonia, Australia and New Zealand.
The rainforests of this region are under threat as the governments of both Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands rely on logging for revenue, plan to expand farm land and to develop roads.
The China National Aviation Corporation was a Chinese airline which was nationalized after the Communist Party of China took control in 1949 (as Civil Aviation Administration of China).
On 5 April 1929 the State Council of the Nationalist government of China based at Nanking established the Chinese National Aviation Corporation, a wholly owned government company with an authorized capital of ten million dollars, Chinese currency: Sun Fo, Minister of Railways and son of Sun Yat Sen served as its first president although the real power lay with the Minister of Communications, Wang Po-Chun.
Two weeks later on 17 April, the Nationalists entered into a service contract with an American firm, Aviation Exploration Inc which was to establish air routes between a few of the major Treaty ports and manage all operations.
Aviation Exploration Inc was a personal holding company of the U.S. aviation magnate Clement Melville Keys who at the same time was the president of Curtiss-Wright and a few other aviation firms.
This new Sino-American venture faced acute resistance from military factions in South China: warlords had their own small air forces which had ambitions to earn income from airmail service between the treaty ports.
Even more ominous was the opposition from Wang Po-chun the Minister of Communications; in July 1929 he went ahead and set up an airmail service owned entirely by his ministry.
Despite all the odds, on 21 October 1929 China Airways launched the airmail and passenger service with an inaugural flight from Shanghai to Hankow.
it continued to face overwhelming political and financial difficulties, not least from the Ministry of Communications which not only collected airmail revenue from its own service but from that of China Airways.
By the start of 1930 China Airways was at the point of bankruptcy and threatened to stop operations altogether unless the Ministry of Communications released its revenue.
An old China hand named Max Polin managed to broker a new deal between China Airways and the Ministry of Communication.
On 8 July the two rival airmail operators merged into a reconfigured China National Aviation Corporation, which thereafter was better known by its acronym, CNAC.
The Keys share in CNAC wound up in Intercontinent Aviation, another holding company that he had established in 1929 to handle foreign airline investments; by that stage Intercontinent itself had become part of North American Aviation, another firm founded by Keys in 1928.
Thomas Morgan was his successor as the head of Curtiss-Wright which through cross holdings ultimately controlled both North American and Intercontinent.
After a series of disastrous accidents and disagreements with Chinese leaders, Morgan decided to sell the 45 percent stake held by Intercontinent in CNAC to Pan American Airways: on 1 April 1933.
Initially, the Nationalists maintained contact with the outside world through the port of Hanoi in French Indo-China, but the Japanese put pressure on the new pro-Vichy regime there to cut off relations with them in 1940–41.
A CNAC aircraft was the first passenger aircraft in history to be destroyed by enemy forces, in the Kweilin Incident in August 1938.
By fall 1940, CNAC operated service from Chungking (via Kunming and Lashio) to Rangoon, Chengdu, Kiating (via Luchow and Suifu) and Hong Kong (via Kweilin).
On 8, 9 and 10 December 1941, eight American pilots of the China National Aviation Corporation (CNAC) and their crews made a total of 16 trips between Kai Tak Airport in the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong, then under attack from Japanese forces, and Chungking, the wartime capital of the Republic of China.
Together they made 16 sorties and evacuated 275 persons including Soong Ching-ling (the widow of Sun Yat-sen), and the Chinese Finance Minister H.H.
During World War II, CNAC was headquartered in India, and flew supplies from Assam, India, into Yunnan, southwestern China through the Hump Route over the Himalayas, after the Japanese blocked the Burma Road.
Despite the large casualties inflicted by the Japanese and more significantly, the ever-changing weather over the Himalayas, the logistics flights operated daily, year round, from April 1942 until the end of the war.
The CNAC was a smaller part of the overall re-supply operations which included the USAAF's India-China Division of Air Transport Command.
After World War II, in 1946, CNAC moved from India to Shanghai, specifically Longhua Airport, located on the western shore of the Huangpu River, 10 km from the center of Shanghai.
Apart from purchasing war surplus planes, CNAC had also acquired brand new Douglas DC-4s, to serve the route between Shanghai and San Francisco.
The downfall of CNAC's operations came on 9 November 1949, when managing director of CNAC, Colonel CY Liu, and general manager of CATC (Central Aviation Transport Corporation), Colonel CL Chen with a skeleton crew defected with 12 aircraft in unauthorized take-offs from Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport to Communist-controlled China.
The lead aircraft ( Convair 240) was welcomed with pomp and ceremony in Beijing, while the other 11 landed safely in Tianjin.
The remaining 71 aircraft in Hong Kong were sold by the Nationalists, who had retreated to the island of Taiwan, to the Delaware-registered Civil Air Transport Inc ( CAT) in an effort to save the aircraft from the Communists.
After a lengthy legal battle ( which went on appeal from Hong Kong to Privy Council in UK, as reported in 1951 Appeal Cases ) the planes were delivered by the Hong Kong government to CAT in 1952.

Its main economic activities are leather goods industry, construction, agriculture, horticulture, livestock production, trade, but it is its cutlery industry that makes Santa Catarina known internationally.
Arlie Russell Hochschild (; born January 15, 1940) is an American professor emerita of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley and writer.
Each culture, she argues, provides us with prototypes of feeling which, like the different keys on a piano, attune us to different inner notes.
It is not that non-Czechs never feel litost, she notes; it is that they are not, in the same way, invited to lift out and affirm the feeling—instead of to disregard or suppress it.
In light of such feeling rules, we try to manage our feelings—i.e., we try to be happy at a party, or grief-stricken at a funeral.
In all of these ways—our experience of an interaction, our definition of feeling, our appraisal and management of feeling—feeling is social.
For example, in Hochschild writes of how flight attendants are trained to control passengers' feelings during times of turbulence and dangerous situations while suppressing their own fear or anxiety.
Bill collectors, too, are often trained to imagine debtors as lazy or dishonest, and so to feel suspicious and be intimidating.
Such jobs call on workers to manage grief and anguish vis-a-vis their own long-unseen children, spouses, and elderly parents, even as they try to feel—and genuinely do feel—warm attachment to the children and elders they daily care for in the North.
It was also not uncommon to hear nannies say, ‘I love the kids I take care of now more than my own.
Extending from the eldest daughter in a rural village who takes care of siblings while a mother cares for an employer's children in the city of a poor country to that employer's employer—and children—in a rich country, outsourcing care work creates a global care chain with a different emotional task at each link of it.
But the jobs they go out to and men they come home to haven't changed as rapidly or deeply as she has; that is the stall.
So working mothers end up doing the lion's share of the work—both emotional and physical—of tending the home, which leads her to feel resentment.
At the mall, they spend the money they’ve earned on objects that function as totems to a ‘potential self’ or hypothetical self – a self we would be if only we had time”.
Everyone, she argues, has a deep story -- and for many on the right, it reflects a keen sense of decline, the sting of scorn, and sense of being a stranger in one's own land.
Taken as a whole, Hochschild's work describes the many ways in which each individual self becomes a shock absorber of larger forces, and focuses on the impact of these forces on emotion.
Hochschild has received honorary doctoral degrees from Swarthmore College (U.S.,) Aalborg University (Denmark), the University of Oslo, (Norway), the University of Lapland, (Finland), Mount St. Vincent University, (Canada), Westminster University (U.S.) and University of Lausanne (Switzerland).
The things that we long to experience at home- pride in our accomplishments, laughter and fun, relationships that aren't complex- we sometimes experience most often in the office.
The bishop pine, Pinus muricata, is a pine with a very restricted range: mostly in California, including several offshore Channel Islands, and a few locations in Baja California, Mexico.
In San Luis Obispo County it is found alone or in stands scattered on the coastal mountains and hills from Morro Bay to Shell Beach.
Other English names that have occasionally been used are prickle cone pine, Obispo pine, Santa Cruz pine and dwarf marine pine.
The cones are strongly reflexed down the branch, 5–10 cm long; the scales are stiff, thin on the side of the cone facing the stem, but greatly thickened on the side facing away and with a stout 5–12 mm spine; both features adaptive to minimise squirrel predation and fire damage to the cones.
The dividing line between the two is very sharp, five miles (8 km) south of the boundary between Mendocino County and Sonoma County, California.
Experimental attempts to hybridize the two forms have consistently failed, indicating that their taxonomic relationship may be more distant than the very small differences in appearance would suggest.
Notable occurrences of bishop pine is in association with Mendocino cypress as a pygmy forest on coastal terraces in Mendocino County and Sonoma County, including one location within Salt Point State Park.
Wasps of the cosmopolitan genus Polistes (the only genus in the tribe Polistini) are the most familiar of the polistine wasps, and are the most common type of paper wasp in North America.
Their innate preferences for nest-building sites leads them to commonly build nests on human habitation, where they can be very unwelcome; although generally not aggressive, they can be provoked into defending their nests.
This social wasp is commonly referred to as the yellow paper wasp due to the distinct yellow bands found on its thorax and abdomen.
The nests are suspended from a surface by a petiole and are constructed from a paper-like substance made of a mix of saliva and wood fibres chewed off old and soft wood or dead twigs.
The wasps begin by fashioning a petiole, a short stalk which will connect the new nest to a substrate (often the eave of a house or outbuilding), and building a single brood cell at the end of it.
Eggs are laid by the foundress directly into the brood cells and are guarded by the foundress and the assisting females (if present).
After the first larvae hatch, the foundress feeds them via progressive provisioning, bringing softened caterpillar flesh to the larvae multiple times throughout their development (as opposed to the one-time provisioning seen in some other hymenopteran groups).
Each of this first seasonal brood of new paper wasps is exclusively female and destined to a subordinate worker position inside the nest; they do not found their own nests and instead assist their mother in the care and maintenance of future sisters.
Females may also adopt a more peaceful alternative reproduction strategy by joining the nest of a close relative (usually a sister) and working as assisting females.
The worker phase usually begins in the early summer, roughly two months after colony initiation, with the emergence of the first workers.
These new females take up most of the colony's work duties, foraging, caring for brood, and maintaining the structure of the nest.
Around this time, those females which assisted in nest foundation (if present) are driven from the nest by aggressive behavior on the part of the foundress, and leave either to start their own late-season nests or usurp another's.
These reproductives differ from their worker sisters by having increased levels of fat stores and cryoprotectant carbohydrate compounds (allowing them to survive the overwintering period).
Once male reproductives emerge and both males and females disperse from the natal nest for mating flights, the so-called intermediate phase begins.
Hamilton showed that animals such as workers could be expected to provide assistance to relatives such as their queens according to the costs and benefits involved (K) and their degree of genetic relatedness (r), and gave the rule that now carries his name, K > 1/r.
Arriving in 1979, the Asian paper wasp has established itself in both the North Island and the northern parts of the South Island.
Because it competes with native species (such as the kaka) for insects, nectar, and honeydew, it is a hindrance to conservation efforts.
Although these parasites differ in their host invasion strategies, their end goal is to successfully infiltrate the host nest and reproduce at the host's expense.
As of December 31, 2008, the Luxottica Group operated 2,286 stores worldwide, most of those as part of the Sunglass Hut brand.
Sunglass Hut stores are located in India, the United States, Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, Brazil, continental Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa and the Middle East including Israel.
The first Sunglass Hut store opened in 1971 when optometrist Sanford L. Ziff set up in a freestanding kiosk in Miami's Dadeland Mall.
The success of this kiosk prompted Ziff to open other Sunglass Hut locations in Miami, and by 1986, Ziff had opened approximately 100 Sunglass Hut outlets, achieving sales of $24 million a year.
In February 2001, the Luxottica Group acquired Sunglass Hut, paying US$653 million including debt and taking possession of 1,300 Sunglass Hut stores, 430 Sunglass Hut-Watch Station combination stores, and 228 stores that operated under either the Watch Station or Watch World banner.
Sunglass Hut operates 2,000 retail outlets in 20 countries: 1,562 in North America, 157 in Australia, 44 in New Zealand, 15 in Asia, 123 in South Africa, 81 in the United Kingdom and Ireland, 33 in the Middle East, and 35 in India.
In May 2018, Sunglass Hut signed an agreement to bring their brand to Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's stores and e-commerce platforms offering a selection of premium sports and performance brands dedicated to outdoor sports.
The main focus was the King of the Ring tournament which was previously held annually from 1985 to 1991, with the exception of 1990.
King of the Ring was a tri-branded tournament, also featuring ECW wrestlers, in 2008 and a non-branded tournament in 2015 (the original brand extension ended in 2011).
There were also other matches that took place at the King of the Ring event since it was a traditional three-hour pay-per-view.
Theosebia, also known as Theosebia the Deaconess, was a 4th-century Christian leader, who is honored as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Some historians supposed Theosebia was the wife of Gregory of Nyssa, others suppose she was one of his sisters like Macrina the Younger.
This, combined with Nazianzen's statement that Theosebia was buried by the other Gregory in the aforementioned letter, suggest that she was indeed either Gregory of Nyssa's wife or sister, whose funeral he would have been obliged to oversee.
He was elected to the House of Commons of Canada as a Liberal for the constituency of Thunder Bay—Nipigon in the 1980 federal election, and served as the parliamentary secretary to the Minister of State (Mines) and the Minister of Communications in the final government of Pierre Trudeau.
OPSM (Optical Prescription Spectacle Makers) is a retailer of eye glasses in Australia and New Zealand, with locations in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia as well.
At that time the company operated 461 stores under three brands (OPSM, Laubman & Pank, Budget Eyewear) in Australia, 35 stores in New Zealand (where they were market leader), 75 stores in Hong Kong and 12 in Singapore (under the Optical Shop brand), and 12 in Malaysia.
In July 2003, the Italian Luxottica Group purchased all OPSM shares and in February 2005 it delisted OPSM Group shares from the Australian Stock Exchange.
The group was acquired by OPSM in 2001 and is now run by Luxottica, the world's biggest eye care and eye wear conglomerate.
Wilhelm von Kaulbach (15 October 1805 in Bad Arolsen, Waldeck – 7 April 1874) was a German painter, noted mainly as a muralist, but also as a book illustrator.
The family was so poor that he and his sister were glad to accept even stale bread from the peasantry in exchange for the father's engravings.
But means were found to place Wilhelm, a youth of seventeen, in the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts, to which the sculptor Rauch had obtained him admission.
But his courage never failed; and, uniting genius with industry, he was soon foremost among the young national party which sought to revive the arts of Germany.
The ambitious work by which Ludwig I of Bavaria sought to transform Munich into a German Athens afforded the young painter an appropriate sphere.
Cornelius had been commissioned to execute the enormous frescoes in the Glyptothek, and his custom was in the winters, with the aid of Kaulbach and others, to complete the cartoons at Düsseldorf, and in the summers, accompanied by his best pupils, to carry out the designs in colour on the museum walls in Munich.
Kaulbach, not yet twenty, followed, took up his permanent residence in Munich, worked hard on the public works, executed independent commissions, and in 1849, when Cornelius left for Berlin, succeeded to the directorship of the academy, an office which he held till his death.
Kaulbach matured, after the example of the masters of the Middle Ages, the practice of mural or monumental decoration; he once more conjoined painting with architecture, and displayed a creative fertility and readiness of resource scarcely found since the era of Raphael and Michelangelo.
The king of Saxony now offered him the direction of the academy of Dresden, with a salary of 2,000 thalers; but Kaulbach preferred to remain in Munich, although he received only 800 florins from the king of Bavaria.
These works, together with occasional figures or passages in complex pictorial dramas, show how dominant and irrepressible were the artists sense of satire and enjoyment of fun; character in its breadth and sharpness is depicted with keenest relish, and at times the sardonic smile bursts into the loudest laugh.
Kaulbach tried hard to become Grecian and Italian; but he never reached Phidias or Raphael; in short the blood of Dürer, Holbein and Martin Schöngauer ran strong in his veins.
The art products in Munich during the middle of the 19th century were of a quantity to preclude first-rate quality, and Kaulbach contracted a fatal facility in covering wall and canvas by the acre.
Having hitherto worked almost exclusively in fresco, he spent some time in Venice and a year in Rome to prepare himself for painting the cartoon in oil for the new Pinakothek, completing it in 1846.
About the same time he commenced his famous designs illustrative of the history of mankind for the Neues Museum at Berlin, which were executed by his pupils and completed in 1860.
These major tableaux, severally 30 feet long, and each comprising over one hundred figures above life-size, were surrounded by minor compositions making more than twenty in all.
The idea was to congregate around the world's historic dramas the prime agents of civilization; thus here were assembled allegoric figures of Architecture and other arts, of Science and other kingdoms of knowledge, together with lawgivers from the time of Moses, not forgetting Frederick the Great.
With regard to these examples of the Munich school, it was asserted that Kaulbach had been unfortunate alike in having found Cornelius for a master and King Ludwig for a patron, that he attempted subjects far beyond him, believing that his admiration for them was the same as inspiration; and supplied the lack of real imagination by a compound of intellect and fancy.
As a dramatic poet he tells the story, depicts character, seizes on action and situation, and thus as it were takes the spectator by storm.
The cartoon, which, as usual in German art of the time, is superior to the ultimate picture, was executed in the artist's prime at the age of thirty.
At this period, as here seen, the knowledge was little short of absolute; subtle is the sense of beauty; playful, delicate, firm the touch; the whole treatment artistic.
Maximilianeum, Munich, evinces wonted imagination and facility in composition; the handling also retains its largeness and vigour; but in this astounding scenic uproar moderation and the simplicity of nature are thrown to the winds, and the whole atmosphere is hot and feverish.
And yet this scholastically compounded art is so nicely adjusted and smoothly blended that it casts off all incongruity and becomes homogeneous as the issue of one mind.
But the public craved change; and so in later years Kaulbach's popularity declined, and he had to witness, not without inquietude, the rise of an opposing party of naturalism and realism.
In a broader sense, an office holder's family and descendants as well as country families who claimed such descent were socially accepted as yangban.
Unlike noble titles in the European and Japanese aristocracies, which were conferred on a hereditary basis, the bureaucratic position of Yangban was granted by law to Yangban who passed state-sponsored civil service exams called gwageo ().
Upon passing these exams—which tested knowledge of the Confucian classics and history—several times, Yangban was usually assigned to a government post.
It was superficially decided that a yangban family that did not produce a government official for more than three generations could lose its status and become commoners.
In theory, a member of any social class except indentured servants, baekjeongs (Korean untouchables), and children of concubines could take the government exams and become a yangban.
In reality, only the upper classes—i.e., the children of yangban—possessed the financial resources and the wherewithal to pass the exams, for which years of studying were required.
These barriers and financial constraints effectively excluded most non-yangban families and the lower classes from competing for yangban status, just like scholar-officials in China.
It was customary to include all descendants of the office holders in the hyangan (), a document that listed the names and lineages of local yangban families.
The hyangan was maintained on blood basis, and one could be cut off from it if members of the family married social inferiors, such as tradesmen.
Although the hyangan was not legally supported by government acts or statutes, the families listed in it were socially respected as yangban.
Their householders had the customary right to participate in the hyangso (향소, 鄕所), a local council from which they could exercise influence on local politics and administration.
By reserving and demanding socio-political power through local instruments such as hyangan and hyangso, yangban automatically passed down their status to posterity in local magnate families, with or without holding central offices.
Thus, while legally, yangban meant high-ranking officials, in reality it included almost all descendants of the former and increasingly lost its legal exactitude.
In today's Korea, the yangban legacy of patronage based on common educational experiences, teachers, family backgrounds, and hometowns continues in some forms, officially and unofficially.
In South Korea, the practice exists among the upper class and power elite, where patronage among the conglomerates tends to predictably follow blood, school, and hometown ties.
As more of the population aspired to become yangban and gradually succeeded in doing so in the late Joseon period by purchasing the yangban status, the privileges and splendor the term had inspired slowly vanished.
With the succession of the Yi generals in the Joseon dynasty, prior feuds and factions were quelled through a decisive attempt to instill administrative organization throughout Korea and create a new class of agrarian bureaucrats.
The yangban, like the Mandarins before them, dominated the Royal Court and military of pre-Modern Korea and often were exempt from laws including those relating to taxes.
Competition that was originally supposed to bring out the best in each candidate gave way to the importance of familial relationships.
Because the Joseon Court was constantly divided among the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western faction members (the eccentric geographical naming derived from the location of each leader's house in Seoul which were divided into subsections), a divided system resulted where corruption was very difficult.
With each faction constantly probing for an excuse to kill off the other, if one faction was proven to be corrupt then the other factions would immediately jump on the chance to purge them.
It wasn't until the reign of King Sunjo that the Kim clan of Andong in cooperation with few other blood related grandee clans obtained full control over the court — after purging their rival factions and other rival clans in their own political faction the Joseon bureaucracy degenerated into corruption.
From the sixteenth century and increasingly during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, high-ranking offices were monopolized by a few grandee families based in Seoul or the Han River Valley, therefore blocking any chance of gaining high-ranking posts by many provincial families of pedigree.
Nearly all yangban of upper-high ranking grandee to lower-ranking provincial landlord status suddenly lost their ancient political, social and economic power during the twentieth century.
Subsequently their political and administrative role was replaced by Japanese colonial government and its administrators, although some yangban maintained their wealth and power by cooperating with the Japanese.
When South Korea began its new government after the war, yangban were mostly extinct and powerless, which is one reason the South Korean government was relatively free from landed interests.
He made this decision to bring them back to start the government off on a good footing, by using those who were already familiar with lawmaking and administration.
In modern-day Korea, the yangban as a social class with legal status and landed wealth, no longer exists, in the north or the south.
Though these claims may have some merit, such references are not usually intended to suggest any real yangban lineage or ancestry.
Today, the yangban have been replaced by the Korean ruling class, i.e., an elite class of business and government elites, who dominate the country through their wealth, power and influence channeled through their familial and social networks.
The word is also used, at least in South Korea, as a common reference (sometimes with distinctly negative connotations, reflecting the negative impression the class system and its abuses left on Koreans as a whole) to an older, sometimes cantankerous/stubborn man.
Pyongyang International Airport , also known as the Pyongyang Sunan International Airport, is the main airport serving Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea.
As of March 2019, Air China and Air Koryo are servicing Pyongyang International Airport and the two destination countries from Pyongyang International Airport are China and Russia.
A second airport, Mirim Airport, was also built by the forces of the empire of Japan in the 1940s and located east of the Taedong River.
Russian Sky Airlines operated charter services to Pyongyang from Russian destinations during the mid 2000s operated by Il-62M and Il-86 aircraft China Southern Airlines offered scheduled charter flights to and from Beijing during the peak season only, and permanently pulled its flights in October 2006.
In March 2008, Air China re-established service to Beijing on a Boeing 737, three days a week, and suspended due to lack of demand on 22 November 2017.
Air Koryo, Korean Air and Asiana Airlines also provided chartered flight services to Seoul and Yangyang on the east coast of South Korea from Pyongyang.
These flights were used by Korean family members visiting divided family across the border; these services were halted after the ending of the Sunshine Policy by South Korea in 2008.
Amenities include a duty-free store, coffee bar, newsstand and Internet room (snackbar, pharmacy, CD shop (audio and video DVD), electronics shop have since been added).
During the construction period a hangar like structure served the airport with basic services (baggage carousel), as well as duty-free shop, bookshop/souvenir shop.
In addition, Sunan Station located on the Pyongui Line of Korean State Railway is located away from the Pyongyang airport terminal building.
She was built by Carrington Slipways at its Ramsay Fibreglass facility in Tomago, New South Wales, launched on 20 June 1987 and commissioned on 10 October 1987.
Following her sale, the ship was refitted with her engines replaced by Napier Deltic diesel engines, stabilisers being fitted and air conditioning added to better suit the ship for Australian service.
Her first tour took place between May 1964 and January 1965, with a second tour lasting from September 1965 to August 1966.
In the case of Catalonia, the Spanish Civil War and Franco's crackdown put an end to it, and in the case of East and West Germany, reunification led to their amalgamation into a single German side.
In 1938, the Australian Commonwealth Naval Board (ACNB) identified the need for a general purpose 'local defence vessel' capable of both anti-submarine and mine-warfare duties, while easy to construct and operate.
She was launched on 3 April 1943 by Mrs. J. J. Dedman, wife of the Minister for War Organisation, and commissioned into the RAN on 7 August 1943.
Located within the Shire of Northern Grampians local government area, it is a seat of local government for the shire and its main administrative centre.
It was founded in 1853 as Pleasant Creek during the Victorian gold rush and is one of few towns in Victoria retaining an active gold mining industry.
William McLachlan discovered alluvial gold at Pleasant Creek in May 1853, but the yield was not in sufficient volumes to attract much interest, as the Ballarat and Bendigo fields were known to be giving better results, and had already established the infrastructure to support the miners.
The mining population of the Stawell field remained relatively small (averaging 200 or less) until 1857 when a series of new alluvial gold discoveries were made.
The prospecting spread to nearby Deep Lead, about 6 kilometres to northwest, and it was reported that at the height of the rush there were over 25,000 people in the area.
The former Free Library and Mechanics Institute building at 170 Main Street was constructed in 1874 to the design of Stawell architect, George Inskip.
The building has served as the location of the Mechanics Institute, School of Design (later School of Mines) and the Borough Library.
The town's water supply system was designed by John D'Alton in 1875, diverting water from Fyan's Creek by tunnels and pipelines, construction was completed in 1881.
The formally recognised Traditional Owners for the area in which Stawell sits, north east of the Horsham and Ararat roads, are the Wotjobaluk, Jaadwa, Jadawadjali, Wergaia and Jupagik Nations.
In the area of Stawell that is south-west of Horsham and Ararat roads Traditional Owners have not yet been formally recognised.
Stawell is also the main administrative centre for the council, with its customer service administration facility located at the Stawell Town Hall.
The LGA was created in 1994 as an amalgamation of a number of other municipalities in the region and currently consists of 4 wards, each represented by one to three councillors elected once every four years by postal voting.
In state politics, Stawell is located in the Legislative Assembly electoral district of Ripon, currently held by Louise Staley (Liberal Party).
The economy of Stawell is sustained by the mining, agriculture, manufacturing, retail and tourism industries; the upcoming addition of the only neutrino observatory in the southern hemisphere, the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory in a transitioning gold mine, represents a significant shift.
Stawell is the closest large town to the Grampians National Park, and as such plays a large role in regional tourism.
The town is at the junction of several major roads, the most significant being the Western Highway which bypasses the centre of town along Longfield Street linking it to the cities of Ararat, Ballarat and Melbourne in the east and the cities of Horsham and Adelaide to the west.
Other significant roads include the Grampians Road (C216) used by many tourists on their journey to and from Halls Gap in the south west; Pomonal Road (C221) connecting it with the town of Pomonal to the south; Donald-Stawell Road (C238); and Navarre Road (C221) connecting it to the town of Navarre to the north.
As at December, 2019, it operates twice weekly; on Mondays, and Fridays for Melbourne and on Tuesdays and Saturdays for Adelaide.
Along with the Stawell Gift, run each Easter long weekend by the Stawell Athletic Club, Stawell also has many other sporting outlets and teams.
The town has a main Australian rules football club, the Stawell Warriors, competing in the Wimmera Football League, and another team, the Stawell Swifts, competing in the Horsham & District Football League.
The horse racing club, the Wimmera Racing Club, schedules around four race meetings a year at Stawell including the Stawell Cup meeting on Easter Sunday.
Golfers play at the course of the Grange Golf Club on the Western Highway, Stawell, or at the course of the Stawell Golf Club on Marnoo Road.
Dees graduated from Greensboro's Grimsley High School and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a bachelor's degree in motion pictures, TV, and radio.
He worked for various radio stations throughout the southeastern United States, including WCAR (now known as WXYC) in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, WSGN in Birmingham, Alabama, and WKIX in Raleigh, North Carolina.
While this platinum recording earned him a People's Choice Award for Favorite New Song, and the BMI Award for record sales in one year, Dees was expressly forbidden from playing the song on the air by station management (rival stations refused to play it for fear of promoting their competition).
The duck vocals were recorded at Shoestring Productions in Memphis, Tennessee by Ken Pruitt, who moved away before the song became popular, and the vocals for the duck were done by Michael Chesney of Memphis for the concert tour.
After a 45-day non-compete clause in his contract was satisfied, Dees was hired by RKO Radio to do the morning show at WHBQ AM 560 in Memphis.
The success of Dees at their Memphis radio station, combined with his TV appearances and hit music, motivated station owner RKO General to offer Rick the morning radio show in Los Angeles at 93KHJ AM.
In a short time, he turned KIIS-FM into the #1 revenue-generating radio station in America, with an asset value approaching half a billion dollars.
After 23 years on radio station KIIS-FM, Dees left in 2004 because of a contract dispute, and he was replaced by Ryan Seacrest.
On April 15, 2009, Movin 93.9 changed format, dismissing its radio personalities and changing the format to Spanish contemporary music after a leasing of the station to Mexico City business Grupo Radio Centro.
Dees has garnered many accolades, including the Marconi Award, induction into both the National Radio Hall of Fame, and the National Association of Broadcasters Hall Of Fame.
He is an inductee in the North Carolina Music Hall Of Fame, the Tennessee Radio Hall Of Fame, has received the Billboard Radio Personality Of The Year award for 10 consecutive years, received a People's Choice Award, and has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Pure Prairie League is an American country rock band whose origins go back to 1965 and Waverly, Ohio, with singer and guitarist Craig Fuller, drummer Tom McGrail, guitarist and drummer Jim Caughlan and steel guitar artist John David Call.
The band was revived in 1998 and again in 2004 and as of 2019 continues to perform over 100 concerts a year in venues across the nation.
Although the band has its roots in Waverly, it was actually formed in Columbus, Ohio, and had its first success in Cincinnati.
Craig Fuller, Tom McGrail, Jim Caughlan and John David Call had played together in various bands since high school, notably the Vikings, the Omars, the Sacred Turnips and the Swiss Navy.
In 1970 the first solid Pure Prairie League lineup was Fuller, McGrail, singer/songwriter/guitarist George Ed Powell (a popular Cincinnati folk singer), Phil Stokes (bassist in Columbus bands Sanhedrin Move and J.D.
Blackfoot) and Robin Suskind (a popular guitar teacher in the University of Cincinnati neighborhood) on guitar and mandola, with John David Call joining the band later that year.
Call's steel guitar added country credibility to the band's playlist and sparked guitar duels with Fuller that created the signature sound of the band.
In mid-1971 McGrail and Stokes left the band to rehearse with Bill Bartlett (Lemon Pipers, Beechwood Farm, RamJam), but were unable to put a viable band together.
Jim Caughlan, who had played guitar and drums with Fuller, Call and McGrail in earlier bands, took over on drums and Jim Lanham from California, formerly of Country Funk, replaced Stokes on bass.
Early on, the Pure Prairie League was looking for national artist representation and they made contact with a well-known Cleveland-based rock and roll promoter, Roger Abramson.
After releasing their debut album (recorded in New York City) in March 1972 and embarking on a nationwide tour, Call, Caughlan and Lanham all left the band.
At that point, Pure Prairie League owed RCA another album and Craig Fuller agreed to record the second record in RCA's Toronto studio with the help of George Ed Powell and Bob Ringe (who had also produced the first album).
Billy Hinds from Cincinnati (drums, percussion) joined the band and Hinds's friend, Michael Connor, played piano on most of the sessions and would become a regular in the Pure Prairie League line-up for years to come.
Michael Reilly, who would become the longtime bass player and front man for the band, joined in early September 1972, soon after the record was completed.
status could be arranged, he was sentenced to six months in jail and forced to leave Pure Prairie League in February 1973.
Reilly took over as the band's leader and brought in his friend Larry Goshorn (vocals, guitars) to replace Fuller in November 1973.
In 1978 there was a mass exodus as the Goshorns left to form their own group, The Goshorn Brothers, and Powell, the last remaining original member, retired from the road to run his pig farm in Ohio.
But the group soldiered on as Reilly quickly brought in temporary members, California country rocker Chris Peterson (vocals, guitar) and the group's soundman, Jeff Redefer (guitar), to play a few shows until new, permanent players could be located.
Casablanca Records, who at this time was trying to play down its reputation as primarily a disco label, signed Pure Prairie League and other non-dance acts to its roster in 1980.
Despite the lack of a recording contract, the group still found itself in demand as a live act and played in clubs and at outdoor festivals.
Tim Goshorn returned in 1982 and Mike Hamilton (vocals, guitars, from Kenny Loggins' band) also joined the same year and was there for 6 months (until mid-1982).
Al Garth (vocals, woodwinds, fiddle, keyboards), another Loggins alumnus (Loggins & Messina, also Poco and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band), joined as well, from 1982 to 1985.
He was first succeeded by Merel Bregante (also ex-Loggins & Messina and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band) and then by Joel Rosenblatt (1985–1986) and Steve Speelman (ex-Steele) (1986–1988).
Sax player Dan Clawson took over for Garth in 1985 and Gary Burr (vocals, guitars) was there from 1984 to 1985.
1985 also saw the return of the group's co-founder Craig Fuller (who had fronted the groups American Flyer and Fuller/Kaz in the mid-to-late '70s after he'd returned to music).
It featured guest appearances from many of the band's alumni, including Gill, Powell, the Goshorns, Call, Burr, Rosenblatt and Mike Hamilton.
Fuller, who had already joined a reformed Little Feat in 1987, played with Pure Prairie League for their final shows in the spring of 1988.
A decade later (in 1998), Pure Prairie League was back with a lineup of Fuller, Connor, Reilly, Burr, Fats Kaplin (pedal steel guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, accordion, washboard) and Rick Schell (vocals, drums, percussion).
The group began work on a new album in 2002, yet abandoned the sessions and separated again after Schell became busy with other projects.
In May 2007, Reilly appeared at a few shows and played guitar yet was unable to come back full-time until 2008.
John David Call played some concerts in 2006 & 2007, standing in for Kaplin, and returned to the band full-time in June 2010.
As of May 2011, it was announced, via the Pure Prairie League website, that Fuller would not be appearing at all of the band's shows that year since he decided to take a break from touring.
On February 10, 2012, at The Syndicate in Newport, Kentucky, Fuller, his son Patrick, Tommy McGrail, and George Ed Powell (a frequent guest at their Ohio shows in recent years) took to the stage to join the current Pure Prairie League lineup of John David Call, Mike Reilly, Rick Schell and Donnie Lee Clark.
In May 2012, Scott Thompson (vocals, drums, percussion) replaced Rick Schell, who departed to continue to grow his real estate business.
Former member Tim Goshorn died on April 15, 2017, at age 62 at his home in Williamstown, Kentucky after a bout with cancer.
Fluorophores are sometimes used alone, as a tracer in fluids, as a dye for staining of certain structures, as a substrate of enzymes, or as a probe or indicator (when its fluorescence is affected by environmental aspects such as polarity or ions).
More generally they are covalently bonded to a macromolecule, serving as a marker (or dye, or tag, or reporter) for affine or bioactive reagents (antibodies, peptides, nucleic acids).
Fluorophores are notably used to stain tissues, cells, or materials in a variety of analytical methods, i.e., fluorescent imaging and spectroscopy.
Newer generations of fluorophores, many of which are proprietary, often perform better, being more photostable, brighter, and/or less pH-sensitive than traditional dyes with comparable excitation and emission.
The absorbed wavelengths, energy transfer efficiency, and time before emission depend on both the fluorophore structure and its chemical environment, as the molecule in its excited state interacts with surrounding molecules.
Wavelengths of maximum absorption (≈ excitation) and emission (for example, Absorption/Emission = 485 nm/517 nm) are the typical terms used to refer to a given fluorophore, but the whole spectrum may be important to consider.
The excitation wavelength spectrum may be a very narrow or broader band, or it may be all beyond a cutoff level.
The emission spectrum is usually sharper than the excitation spectrum, and it is of a longer wavelength and correspondingly lower energy.
Excitation energies range from ultraviolet through the visible spectrum, and emission energies may continue from visible light into the near infrared region.
Most fluorophores are organic small molecules of 20 - 100 atoms (200 - 1000 Dalton - the molecular weight may be higher depending on grafted modifications, and conjugated molecules), but there are also much larger natural fluorophores that are proteins: Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is 27 kDa and several phycobiliproteins (PE, APC...) are ≈240kDa.
Based on molecular complexity and synthetic methods, fluorophore molecules could be generally classified into four categories: proteins and peptides, small organic compounds, synthetic oligomers and polymers, and multi-component systems.
Fluorescent proteins GFP (green), YFP (yellow) and RFP (red) can be attached to other specific proteins to form a fusion protein, synthesized in cells after transfection of a suitable plasmid carrier.
Additionally, various functional groups can be present to alter its properties, such as solubility, or confer special properties, such as boronic acid which binds to sugars or multiple carboxyl groups to bind to certain cations.
When the dye contains an electron-donating and an electron-accepting group at opposite ends of the aromatic system, this dye will probably be sensitive to the environment's polarity (solvatochromic), hence called environment-sensitive.
Often dyes are used inside cells, which are impermeable to charged molecules, as a result of this the carboxyl groups are converted into an ester, which is removed by esterases inside the cells, e.g., fura-2AM and fluorescein-diacetate.
Fluorophores have particular importance in the field of biochemistry and protein studies, e.g., in immunofluorescence but also in cell analysis, e.g.
However, in 685, when Ecgfrith was killed at the battle of Nechtansmere, Aldfrith was recalled to Northumbria, reportedly from the Hebridean island of Iona, and became king.
His reign saw the creation of works of Hiberno-Saxon art such as the Lindisfarne Gospels and the Codex Amiatinus, and is often seen as the start of Northumbria's golden age.
By the year 600, most of what is now England had been conquered by invaders from the continent, including Angles, Saxons, and Jutes.
Bernicia and Deira, the two Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in the north of England, were first united under a single ruler in about 605 when Æthelfrith, king of Bernicia, extended his rule over Deira.
The combined kingdom became known as the kingdom of Northumbria: it stretched from the River Humber in the south to the River Forth in the north.
He became a fluent speaker of Old Irish, and may have married a princess of the Uí Néill dynasty, probably Fín the daughter (or possibly granddaughter) of Colmán Rímid.
He was probably thus a cousin or nephew of the noted scholar Cenn Fáelad mac Aillila, and perhaps a nephew of Bishop Finan of Lindisfarne.
The relationship between Aldfrith's father and mother was not considered a lawful marriage by Northumbrian churchmen of his day, and he is described as the son of a concubine in early sources.
Oswald and Oswiu returned to Northumbria after Edwin's death in 633, and between them they ruled for much of the middle of the 7th century.
Oswiu's overlordship was ended in 658 by the rise of Wulfhere of Mercia, but his reign continued until his death in 670, when Ecgfrith, one of his sons by his second wife, Eanflæd, succeeded him.
Ecgfrith was unable to recover Oswiu's position in Mercia and the southern kingdoms, and was defeated by Wulfhere's brother Æthelred in a battle on the River Trent in 679.
Ecgfrith sent an army under his general, Berht, to Ireland in 684 where he ravaged the plain of Brega, destroying churches and taking hostages.
The raid may have been intended to discourage support for any claim Aldfrith might have to the throne, though other motives are possible.
He had two full brothers: Alhfrith, who is not mentioned after 664, and Ælfwine, who was killed at the battle on the Trent in 679.
She therefore understood him to speak of [Aldfrith], who was said to be the son of her father, and was then, on account of his love of literature, exiled to the Scottish islands.
Cuthbert, later considered a saint, was a second cousin of Aldfrith (according to Irish genealogies), which may have been the reason for his proposal as monarch.
Ecgfrith was killed during a campaign against his cousin, the King of the Picts Bridei map Beli, at a battle known as Nechtansmere to the Northumbrians, in Pictish territory north of the Firth of Forth.
Bede recounts that Queen Eormenburh and Cuthbert were visiting Carlisle that day, and that Cuthbert had a premonition of the defeat.
Ecgfrith's death threatened to break the hold of the descendants of Æthelfrith on Northumbria, but the scholar Aldfrith became king and the thrones of Bernicia and Deira remained united.
It has also been suggested that Aldfrith's ascent was eased by support from Dál Riata, the Uí Néill, and the Picts, all of whom might have preferred the mature, known quantity of Aldfrith to an unknown and more warlike monarch, such as Ecgfrith or Oswiu had been.
Subsequently, a battle between the Northumbrians and the Picts in which Berht was killed is recorded by Bede and the Irish annals in 697 or 698.
Aldfrith ruled both Bernicia and Deira throughout his reign, but the two parts remained distinct, and would again be divided by the Vikings in the late 9th century.
The centre of Bernicia lay in the region around the later Anglo-Scottish border, with Lindisfarne, Hexham, Bamburgh, and Yeavering being important religious and royal centres.
Even after Ecgfrith's death, Bernicia included much of modern southeast Scotland, with a presumed royal centre at Dunbar, and religious centres at Coldingham and Melrose.
The details of the early Middle Ages in northwest England and southwest Scotland are more obscure, but a Bishop of Whithorn is known from shortly after Aldfrith's reign.
Northumbria's southern frontier with Mercia ran across England, from the Humber in the east, following the River Ouse and the River Don, to the Mersey in the west.
Some archaeological evidence, the Roman Rig dyke, near modern Sheffield, appears to show that it was a defended border, with large earthworks set back from the frontier.
The Nico Ditch, to the south of modern Manchester, has been cited in this context, though it has also been argued that it was simply a boundary marker without fortifications.
In the far north, the evidence is less clear, and it appears that authority lay with sub-kings, perhaps including native British rulers.
Churchmen were not only figures of spiritual authority, they were major landowners, who also controlled trade, centred at major churches and monasteries in a land without cities and towns.
The bishopric of Lindisfarne was held by Cuthbert at Aldfrith's accession; Cuthbert was succeeded by the Irish-educated Eadberht, who would later be Abbot of Iona and bring the Easter controversy to an end, and then by Eadfrith, creator of the Lindisfarne Gospels.
The bishops of Lindisfarne sometimes held the see of Hexham, but during Aldfrith's reign it was held by John of Beverley, a pupil and protégé of Theodore, the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The short-lived see at Abercorn, created in 681 for Bishop Trumwine, collapsed in the period after Ecgfrith's death and the first known Bishop of Whithorn was appointed in the reign of King Ceolwulf.
Important monasteries existed at Whitby, where the known abbesses tended to be members of the Deiran royal family, at Monkwearmouth-Jarrow, where Bede was a monk, and at Ripon.
Aldfrith appears to have had the support of leading ecclesiastics, most notably his half-sister Ælfflæd and the highly respected Bishop Cuthbert.
He is known to have received confirmation at the hands of Aldhelm, later the Bishop of Sherborne in the south-western Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Wessex.
Aldfrith also owned a manuscript on cosmography, which (according to Bede) he purchased from Abbot Ceolfrith of Monkwearmouth-Jarrow in exchange for an estate valued at eight hides.
In the 680s Aldfrith twice met with Adomnán, who came to seek the release of the Irish captives taken in Berht's expedition of 684.
Bede described Aldfrith as a scholar, and his interest in learning distinguishes him from the earlier Anglo-Saxon warrior kings, such as Penda.
It implies a degree of learning and wisdom that led historian Peter Hunter Blair to compare Aldfrith to the Platonic ideal of the philosopher king.
Bede also makes it clear that the church in Aldfrith's day was less subject to lay control of monasteries, a practice he dated from the time of Aldfrith's death.
Wilfrid, the bishop of York, had been exiled by Ecgfrith for his role in persuading Ecgfrith's wife, Æthelthryth, to remain a saintly celibate.
Aldfrith's relations with Wilfrid were stormy; the hostility between the two was partly caused by Aldfrith's allegiances with the Celtic Church, a consequence of his upbringing in exile.
When Wilfrid returned from exile the reconciliation with Aldfrith did not include Aldfrith's support for Wilfrid's attempts to recover his episcopal authority over the whole of the north.
Wilfrid's hagiographer writes:For a while all would be peace between the wise King Aldfrith and our holy bishop, and a happier state of affairs could hardly be imagined.
And so they continued for years, in and out of friendship with each other, till finally their quarrels came to a head and the king banished Wilfrid from Northumbria.
In 702 or 703, Aldfrith convened a council at Austerfield, on the southern border of Northumbria, which was attended by Berhtwald, Archbishop of Canterbury, and many bishops.
According to Stephen of Ripon, King Aldfrith offered to use his army to pressure Wilfrid into accepting the decision, but the bishops reminded him that he had promised Wilfrid safe-conduct.
The period saw the flowering of Insular art in Northumbria and produced the Lindisfarne Gospels, perhaps begun in Aldfrith's time, the scholarship of Bede, and the beginnings of the Anglo-Saxon missions to the continent.
The Codex Amiatinus was a product of Monkwearmouth-Jarrow, made on the orders of Abbot Ceolfrid, probably in the decade after Aldfrith's death.
The Ripon Jewel, discovered in the precincts of Ripon Cathedral in 1977, is difficult to date but its grandeur and the location of the find have suggested a link with Bishop Wilfrid, whose rich furnishings of the church at Ripon are on record.
Bishop Cuthbert's pectoral cross was buried with him during Aldfrith's reign, either at his death in 687 or his reburial in 698 and is now at Durham Cathedral.
The Bewcastle Cross, the Ruthwell Cross and the Hexham Cross are probably to be dated to one or two generations after Aldfrith's time.
Aldfrith was married to Cuthburh, sister of King Ine of Wessex; the marriage thus allied Aldfrith with one of the most powerful kings in Anglo-Saxon England.
Little is known of Offa, who is presumed to have been killed after being taken from Lindisfarne in 750 on the orders of King Eadberht of Northumbria.
The 13th-century discovery of a tomb thought to be that of St Osana has led to the suggestion that Osana was the daughter of Aldfrith, although this view is not widely held by modern historians.
The succession was disputed by Eadwulf, supported initially by Bishop Wilfrid, and supporters of Aldfrith's young son Osred, apparently led by Berht's kinsman Berhtfrith.
The reports of Aldfrith's death in the Irish annals call him Aldfrith son of Oswiu, but some of these are glossed by later scribes with the name Flann Fína mac Ossu.
Lubang Island is the largest island in the Lubang Group of Islands, an archipelago which lies to the northwest of the northern end of Mindoro in the Philippines.
The Lubang island group, which constitutes all the seven islands, are geographically distinct from any landmass, making it biologically unique - and endangered at the same time.
Northwest to southeast the four main islands are Cabra Island, separated by a deep, wide channel from Lubang Island, then Ambil Island and finally Golo Island.
The Spanish built a fort on Lubang Island, the San Vicente Bastion, on the western point of the entrance to Tilik Port.
After World War II, Lubang Island was where Hiroo Onoda, a Japanese army intelligence officer, hid in the jungles when the Allies reclaimed the Philippines.
He engaged in continuous, and sometimes deadly, guerrilla warfare against the United States and later against Philippine Commonwealth troops and paramilitary police.
In March 1974, he was officially relieved of duty, 29 years after the end of the war, making him one of the last Japanese soldiers to surrender.
Lubang covers the northwestern half of Lubang Island (Cabra Island included), while Looc covers the remaining half of Lubang Island plus Ambil, Golo and the other islands.
As an associate of Adolf Eichmann, he had a leading role in Operation Reinhard, which saw the murder of over one million mostly Polish Jews during the Holocaust in Nazi extermination camps Majdanek, Treblinka, Sobibór and Bełżec.
Odilo Globočnik was born on 21 April 1904 in the Imperial Free City of Trieste, then the capital of the Austrian Littoral administrative region of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Italy).
He was the second child of Franz Globočnik, a cavalry lieutenant in the Austro-Hungarian Army who came from a Slovene family from the Upper Carniolan town of Tržič (German: Neumarktl; now in Slovenia).
His father was unable to accumulate the money needed to get an officer's marriage permission and had to leave the service.
In 1914, the family left Trieste for Cseklész, where Franz Globočnik was recalled to active duty after the outbreak of the First World War.
There, he joined, as a teenager, the pro-Austrian volunteer militia fighting the Slovene volunteers and later the Yugoslav Army during the Carinthian War (1918–19).
He later enrolled at the Höhere Staatsgewerbeschule (a higher vocational school for mechanical engineering), where he passed his Matura (the Austrian equivalent of the German Abitur) and graduated with honours.
Globočnik first appeared in politics in 1922, when he became a prominent member of pre-Nazi Carinthian paramilitary organisations and was seen wearing a swastika.
Her father, Emil Michner, talked to the director of KÄEWAG, a hydropower plant, and secured Globočnik a job as a technician and construction supervisor.
He was arrested because of his public support for the Nazi Party (NSDAP), as he had become a member of the party in 1930 while he was in Carinthia.
His first documented activity for the NSDAP occurred in 1931, when his name appeared in documents relating to the spreading of propaganda for the party.
By this point he had more or less abandoned his career as a building tradesman, and attached himself very closely to the NSDAP.
One of his tasks for the NSDAP was to construct a courier and intelligence service, which channeled funds from the German Reich into Austria.
This was one of the first murders in Austria attributable to the Nazis, and a number of historians believe that Globočnik was involved in the attack.
His devotion to the Nazi cause paid off for Globočnik, as he quickly climbed the ladder of the party apparatus in his native Austria.
Later that same year he opened Vienna's first anti-Semitic political exhibition, which was attended by 10,000 visitors on the first day.
He launched a crusade against the Church, and the Nazis confiscated property, closed Catholic organisations and sent many priests to Dachau.
Globočnik was relieved of his post and stripped of his party honours in 1939, when it was discovered that he was involved in illegal foreign currency speculation.
After the initially disappointing party career, Globočnik now had a second chance in the ranks of the SS and the police.
There are indications that Globočnik may have been the originator of the extermination camp industrialised murder concept and the one who suggested it to Himmler.
At a two-hour meeting with Himmler on 13 October 1941, Globočnik received verbal approval to start construction work on the Belzec extermination camp, the first such camp in the General Government.
There are even indications that Globočnik may have begun a crude experimental gassing facility in the woods near Belzec shortly before his mid-October meeting with Himmler.
Globočnik at the 13 October 1941 meeting proposed exterminating the Jews in assembly-line fashion in a concentration camp utilising gas chambers.
The gassing facilities that Globočnik established at Belzec soon after his 13 October meeting with Himmler used carbon monoxide, as the T4 programme had done, and were designed by T4 programme personnel assigned to Globočnik.
The construction of three more camps, Sobibor and Maidanek in the Lublin district and Treblinka at Małkinia Górna, followed in 1942.
Globočnik was complicit in the extermination of more than 1.5 million Polish, Czech, Dutch, French, Russian, Slovak, German, Portuguese, Turkish, Spanish and Austrian Jews as well as a smaller number of non-Jews in the death camps which he organised and supervised.
He exploited Jews and non-Jews as slave labourers in his own forced labour camps, and was responsible for seizing the properties and valuables of murdered inmates while in charge of Operation Reinhard.
From 1942–1943 he also oversaw the beginning of the Generalplan Ost, the plan to expel Poles from their lands and resettle those territories with German settlers (see Zamość Uprising).
After the Armistice of Cassibile Globočnik was appointed Higher SS and Police Leader of the Operational Zone of the Adriatic Littoral of Italy.
At San Sabba, thousands of Italian Jews, partisans and other political dissidents were interrogated, tortured and murdered by them after the 1943 downfall of Benito Mussolini and the German takeover of the country.
With the advance of Allied troops, Globočnik retreated into Austrian Carinthia and finally went into hiding high in the mountains near Weissensee, still in company of his closest staff members.
A unit from the 4th Queen's Own Hussars, found him on the Möslacher Alm, a mountain in the Eastern Alps, with seven other wanted Nazis including Georg Michalsen, Friedrich Rainer, Ernst Lerch, Hermann Höfle, Karl Hellesberger, Hugo Herzog and Friedrich Plöb.
His body was taken to be buried in a local churchyard, but the priest reportedly refused to have 'the body of such a man' resting in consecrated ground.
Despite contemporary photographs of Globočnik's corpse and reliable reports, such as the Regimental Diary and Field Reports of the 4th Queen's Own Hussars, detailing the circumstances of his capture and suicide, his apparent death has become the subject of urban legends.
Prior to the 1980s, there was debate over the circumstances of Globočnik's survival; some had speculated that his death in either early May or June 1945 was at the hands of either partisans or a Jewish revenge squad.
Despite this attack, and despite the oppressive political climate of the time, Shostakovich completed the symphony and planned its premiere for December 1936 in Leningrad.
His second and third symphonies, completed in 1927 and 1929, had been patriotic works with choral finales, but the new score was different.
Rumors circulated for a long time that Stalin had directly ordered this attack after he attended a performance of the opera and stormed out after the first act.
Despite the increasingly repressive political atmosphere, Shostakovich continued to plan for the symphony's premiere, scheduled by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra for 11 December 1936 under the orchestra's music director, Fritz Stiedry, a Viennese musician active in the Soviet Union since 1933.
The composer also played the score on piano for Otto Klemperer, who responded enthusiastically and planned to conduct the symphony's first performance outside the USSR.
After a number of rehearsals that left both the conductor and musicians unenthusiastic, Shostakovich met with several officials of the Composers Union and the Communist Party, along with I.M.
He was informed that the 11 December performance was being cancelled and that he was expected to make the announcement and provide an explanation.
He wrote that party officials exerted pressure on Renzin to cancel the scheduled performance, and Renzin, reluctant to take responsibility for the programming decision himself, instead privately persuaded Shostakovich to withdraw the symphony.
Using the orchestral parts that survived from the 1936 rehearsals, Shostakovich had a two-piano version published in an edition of 300 copies in Moscow in 1946.
The first performance outside the USSR took place at the 1962 Edinburgh Festival with the Philharmonia Orchestra under Gennady Rozhdestvensky on 7 September 1962.
Soviet critics were excited at the prospect of finding a major missing link in Shostakovich's creative output, yet refrained from value-laden comparisons.
They generally placed the Fourth Symphony firmly in its chronological context and explored its significance as a way-station on the road to the more conventional Fifth Symphony.
Western critics were more overtly judgmental, especially since the Fourth was premiered just three days after the Twelfth Symphony in Edinburgh.
The critical success of the Fourth juxtaposed with the critical disdain for the Twelfth led to speculation that Shostakovich's creative powers were on the wane.
The symphony is strongly influenced by Gustav Mahler, whose music Shostakovich had been closely studying with Ivan Sollertinsky during the preceding ten years.
Aside from the entire second movement, one of the most Mahlerian moments appears at the outset of the third movement—a funeral march reminiscent of many similar passages in the Austrian's output.
Another such point occurs near the beginning of the deeply brooding coda that follows the last full-orchestra outburst, with the descending half-step idea in the woodwinds clearly pointing to the A major-to-A minor chord progression that characterizes much of Mahler's Sixth Symphony.
The 1998 recording by the LPO and Rostropovich, and the 2004 recording conducted by Caetano include performances of the surviving original sketches of the Fourth Symphony's first movement.
The ArsDigita Community System (ACS) was an open source toolkit for developing community web applications developed primarily by developers associated with ArsDigita Corporation.
It was licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL, and is one of the most famous products to be based completely on AOLserver.
Features of ACS included a core set of APIs, datamodels, and database routines for coordinating information common to all community web applications, as well as modules such as workflow management, CMS, messaging, bug/issue tracking, project tracking, e-commerce, and bboards.
ACS was built in the mid-1990s to support the photo.net online community as well as a variety of Internet services from Hearst Corporation.
The ACS was originally written using the Oracle database and AOLserver threaded web server and thus was a combination of SQL, HTML templates, and Tcl code to merge database results with templates.
In 2001, the code tree was forked, with the Tcl code base being maintained and refactored by one group of developers, while the product line was being re-written in Java EE.
Although Red Hat continued to develop CCM for several years after its acquisition, in 2004 a decision was made to migrate to a community-based development model.
Furthermore, scientists generally reject the possibility that such megafauna cryptids exist, because of the improbably large numbers necessary to maintain a breeding population.
Almases are typically described as human-like bipedal animals, between five and six and a half feet tall, their bodies covered with reddish-brown hair, with anthropomorphic facial features including a pronounced browridge, flat nose, and a weak chin.
Almases appear in the legends of local people, who tell stories of sightings and human-Almas interactions dating back several hundred years.
Amazonas has Venezuela's highest proportion of indigenous peoples of Venezuela; these make up only around 1.5% of the population nationwide, but the proportion is nearly 50% in Amazonas.
Amazonas is a voice of Greek origin that was identified with a race of female warriors who lived in the Asian Sarmacia, beyond the Caucasus.
The name of this state was assigned from June 2, 1856 in honor of the Amazon River, which was discovered by Francisco de Orellana in 1542, who is also attributed the name of the river as a result of a legend about a female tribe that tenaciously resisted the Spanish conquerors that reminded him of the Greek legend.
The Amazon River does not pass through the State, but a part of the territory is covered by the Amazon, through the Río Negro (Black River).
Then, under the mandate of President Antonio Guzmán Blanco in 1881, it was decided to divide the area into two territories: the Federal Territory Amazonas and the Federal Territory Alto Orinoco.
12 years later it was decided to reunify the territories with the name of Amazonas in 1893 and with its capital in San Fernando de Atabapo.
In 1928 the then president Juan Vicente Gomez decided to move the state capital to the north specifically to the city of Puerto Ayacucho to facilitate connections with Caracas and the rest of the nation.
It continued as Federal Territory Amazonas because it did not meet the minimum population to change its category to State of the Federation according to the old National Constitution.
The State of Amazonas belongs to the region of Guayana and is the second largest in territorial area after the State of Bolivar, although it is mostly sparsely populated, except in the northern part where most of its population is concentrated.
The highest peak in the state is the Tapirapecó at 2992 meters above sea level, in the Serranía La Neblina National Park on the border with Brazil.
The relief of the state is very varied, starting with the plains or savannahs, which range from 100 m to 500 m to continue with the mountains and hills, which abound in the area, except given the western side of the state that for being limited by the rivers Orinoco, Guainía and Negro, obviously run the lowest part of the territory.
Indeed, to the north, east and south there are numerous mountain ranges, including Maigualida, Marahuaca, Unturán, Parima, Tapirapecó, La Neblina, Imeri and Aracamuní, among others.
In this state the main river of Venezuela, the Orinoco, is born in the Delgado Chalbaud hill and after crossing 2140 km it deposits its waters in the Atlantic Ocean.
The Orinoco is, in turn, the basin where other important rivers of the region flow, such as the 474 km long Ventuari.
The average annual temperature of the Parima station, at an altitude of 810 m, is 22.3 °C while that of Tamatama (at 112 m and the same latitude) is 27 °C.
A large part of the state of Amazonas is covered by immense forests, so the vegetation due to the high rate of rainfall is typical of the jungle.
Its economic activity is limited, most agricultural products are consumed locally and in certain areas the State is in deficit, livestock and agriculture is extensive, these activities along with trade are the main sources of employment in the region.
Ecological tourism is in full development in spite of the potential represented by its natural landscapes, it also lacks adequate tourist infrastructure for a high number of visitors.
The main communication routes are air and waterways, although in the case of waterways, their navigation will depend on the rainy and dry seasons that characterize this region, since in many cases river traffic will be problematic in times of drought.
There are also landing strips in Cacurí, la Esmeralda, Ocamo, Kamariapó, San Juan de Manapiare, Santa Bárbara, Yaví, Yutajé and San Carlos de Río Negro.
The ethnological culture of the state of Amazonas is the largest in the country, possessing 20 different ethnicities, differentiated by their own languages and customs.
In Amazonas, indigenous languages of the Arawaka, Caribbean, Yanomami families are spoken or represent isolated languages without any known relationship to others.
Among their most interesting customs is that of incinerating their dead, and then with the ashes, making a drink that, according to their customs, would bring them all the vitality of the deceased.
They are small in stature; adult women do not exceed 1.50 m, and walk completely naked except for a small loincloth.
Among the most common facial ornaments is that of a stick that pierces the nasal septum of women, and the haircut characteristic of the ethnicity.
Its manufacture is based on leaves from different types of palms: moriche, cumare, seje, cucurito, chiquichique, etc.All decoration has its meaning, related to the life of the users, its sacredness, its mythology.
Soft fabrics: hammocks, hammocks, bags, baby carriers, dresses, guaiacs and their looms; pottery or ceramics; wood carvings; body decorations; hunting and fishing instruments; musical instruments; etc.
Pottery: Archaeological sites of this artistic manifestation dating from pre-Hispanic times have been found in the regions of Manapiare (Corobal), Atabapo (Nericagua), on islands in the Orinoco River, in the Lower Orinoco (Barrancas and Saladero), in Culebra, very close to Puerto Ayacucho and in other places.
The musical instruments: they are another indigenous artisan expression of the Amazon State of which there are more than 100 types.
The corporal adornments: Among these are the pintaderas, made in a circular or rectangular piece of wood carved with different designs according to their use and function.
Among the extensive and varied folklore of the state are samples of 62 ethnic groups, among which are: yanomami, guahito, piaroa, yekuana, yeral curripaco, bare, baniva, puinave, piapoco, hoti, warequena, yaborana.
The different ethnic groups have the custom of holding a Warime14 festival every three years; this festival is held to celebrate both a great harvest and new marriages within the community.
Also, on the occasion of the arrival of the rains during the months of May, June and July, indigenous dances are performed in Puerto Ayacucho and San Fernando de Atabapo.
In Puerto Ayacucho and in the interior of the state there are restaurants where the best dishes of the area are served: turtle prepared in its carapace, tapir, lapa; also fish of the finest qualities, such as morocoto, curbina, palometa, bocón, caribe, guabina, pavón and lau lau; among the birds: paují, wild duck, turkey and chicken.
Different types of bread are also made: if the manioc from the yucca is not enough, you can try the roasted or fried green banana.
It is worth mentioning that the mañoco is made with bitter yucca, in whose processing certain native implements are used such as sebucan, ray and budare.
In Amazonas, fruits such as pijiguao, tupiro, cocura, moriche, copoazú, curuba, manaca, pineapples and ceje are grown; the latter is harvested throughout the state, especially in the valleys of the Manapire, Casiquiare, Sipapo, Cuao and Ventuari rivers; from it, ceje oil is extracted, which has medicinal properties.
It was founded in 2008, and played its home games at the Antonio José de Sucre Stadium in Puerto Ayacucho, Venezuela.
The State of Amazonas is only entitled to a representation of 3 deputies in the Venezuelan National Assembly, which is the minimum indicated by the 1999 Constitution since it has very little population despite its large territorial extension.
The regional movements have considerable strength to the point that in the 2005 parliamentary elections the regional party United Movement of Indigenous Peoples (MUPI) obtained 48% of the votes compared to 44% of the votes of the ruling coalition led by the Movement V Republic (MVR), Homeland for All (PPT), and the regional party United Multiethnic Peoples of the Amazon (PUAMA) considered until then the first regional force.
The state is autonomous and equal politically, it organizes its administration and public powers through the Constitution of the State of Amazonas, which was adopted in 2002.
The Constitution can be subject to reform or amendment, they are proposed by the Legislative Power, and to be approved, they need the favorable votes of at least 60% of the State Legislative Council, and by 10% or more of the electoral population of Amazonas.
Like the other 23 federal entities of Venezuela, the State maintains its own police force, which is supported and complemented by the National Police and the Venezuelan National Guard.
It has been awarded since 1979 for a distinguished example of feature writing giving prime consideration to high literary quality and originality.
In its first 35 years to 2013, the Feature Writing Pulitzer was awarded 34 times; none was given in 2004 and 2014, and it was never split.
Constructed between January 1943 and November 1949, the 30 locomotives in the class were designed to haul express passenger services throughout New South Wales.
They were the only New South Wales locomotives to use the popular Pacific 4-6-2 wheel arrangement and were the last steam locomotives in the state to be built for passenger train operation, all subsequent deliveries being specifically for freight haulage.
The 38 class were first conceived in the 1930s when the NSWGR established there was a need for a locomotive to eliminate the complications of double heading on a number of fast intrastate passenger trains.
The design was influenced by the fashion for streamlining at the time, including elements of the class J locomotives of the Norfolk and Western Railway in the United States.
The conditions of trackwork with frequent sharp curvature to be traversed at high speed would require six-coupled driving wheels in a 'Pacific' 4-6-2 configuration.
The design was carried out by the NSWGR Locomotive Section of the Design Office and incorporated the latest developments in locomotive design from Australia and overseas.
Similarly to the earlier D57 class (which had some input from Young) the massively proportioned locomotive incorporated a cast steel chassis.
The locomotive, however, as with many others, did possess a teething trouble: no fireman could maintain steam in her 245 psi boiler.
Mr Bowen also recalled that the problem was solved when an imported Bathurst fireman insisted on inspecting the loco's blast pipe.
He demonstrated how the blast pipe's shape made it impossible for steam to cleanly clear the chimney's apron, which affected the smokebox's vacuum action on the fire grate, making her more demanding to fire.
As the last of the 5 initial locomotives were leaving the shop in 1945, a decision was made to purchase more.
This order of 25 locomotives were built at the New South Wales Government Railways' Eveleigh Railway Workshops (13 even number locomotives) and Cardiff Locomotive Workshops (12 odd numbered locomotives).
Because of their axle load they were confined to operating between Sydney and the following extremities of operation: Port Kembla (Coniston), Albury, Dubbo and Maitland, although they worked the North Coast passenger trains to Brisbane until track problems surfaced.
Following the arrival of the 42, 43 and 44 class diesel locomotives in the 1950s, these began to take over some express services, but the 38 class continued to haul many passenger and freight trains.
Robin Hood: Men in Tights is a 1993 American musical adventure comedy film and a parody of the Robin Hood story.
The film was produced and directed by Mel Brooks, co-written by Brooks, Evan Chandler, and J. David Shapiro based on a story by Chandler and Shapiro, and stars Cary Elwes, Richard Lewis, and Dave Chappelle in his film debut.
Upon returning to England, Robin finds Asneeze's son, Ahchoo, and discovers that Prince John has assumed control while King Richard is away fighting in the Crusades.
Robin recruits Little John and Will Scarlet O'Hara to help regain his father's land and oust Prince John from the throne.
On his quest, Robin attracts the attention of Maid Marian of Bagelle, who wants to find the man who has the key to her Everlast chastity belt.
While Robin is training his band of tights-clad Merry Men, the spoonerism-spouting Sheriff of Rottingham hires the Mafioso Don Giovanni to assassinate Robin at the Spring Festival.
Maid Marian hears of the plot, and sneaks out of her castle to warn Robin, accompanied by her German lady-in-waiting Broomhilde.
At the archery tournament, a disguised Robin makes it to the final round, but loses after his arrow is split in two by his opponent.
Giovanni's assassin attempts to kill Robin by shooting at him with a scoped crossbow, but Blinkin catches the arrow in midair.
Marian is carried off to the tower by the Sheriff, who wants to deflower her but cannot open her chastity belt.
The witch Latrine, Prince John's cook and adviser, saves him by giving him a magical Life Saver in exchange for marriage.
Rabbi Tuckman conducts the ceremony, but they are suddenly interrupted by King Richard, recently returned from the Crusades, who orders Prince John to be taken away to the Tower of London and made part of the tour.
That night, Robin and Maid Marian attempt to open the chastity belt, only to realize his key will not open the lock.
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 40%, based on 42 reviews, and an average rating of 5.04/10.
Rufino del Carmen Arellanes Tamayo (August 25, 1899 – June 24, 1991) was a Mexican painter of Zapotec heritage, born in Oaxaca de Juárez, Mexico.
After his parents' death, Tamayo moved to Mexico City to live with his aunt, where he spent a lot of time working alongside her in the city's fruit markets.
However, after a while, Tamayo's aunt enrolled him at Escuela Nacional de Artes Plasticas at San Carlos in 1917 to study art.
As a student, he experimented with and was influenced by Cubism, Impressionism and Fauvism, among other popular art movements of the time, but with a distinctly Mexican feel.
Although Tamayo studied drawing at the Academy of Art at San Carlos as a young adult, he became dissatisfied and eventually decided to study on his own.
That was when he began working for José Vasconcelos at the Department of Ethnographic Drawings (1921); he was later appointed head of the department by Vasconcelos.
Rufino Tamayo, along with other muralists such as Rivera, Orozco, and Siqueiros, represented the twentieth century in their native country of Mexico.
He expressed what he envisioned as the traditional Mexico and eschewed the overt political art of such contemporaries as José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, Oswaldo Guayasamin and David Alfaro Siqueiros.
He disagreed with these muralists in their belief that the revolution was necessary for the future of Mexico but considered, instead, that the revolution would harm Mexico.
Tamayo came to feel that he could not freely express his art; he therefore decided in 1926 to leave Mexico and move to New York City.
Prior to his departure, Tamayo organized a one-man show of his work in Mexico City where he was noticed for his individuality.
The artist returned to Mexico in 1929 to have another solo show, this time being met with high praise and media coverage.
With the help of Mexican printer and engineer Luis Remba, Tamayo expanded the technical and aesthetic possibilities of the graphic arts by developing a new medium which they named Mixografia.
It not only registered the texture and volume of Rufino Tamayo's design but also granted the artist freedom to use any combination of solid materials in its creation.
The LEAR was an organization in which Mexican artists could express through painting and writing their responses towards the revolutionary war and governmental policies then current in México.
Although Tamayo did not agree with Siqueiros and Orozco, they were chosen along with four others to represent their art in the first American Artists' Congress in New York.
Now married, Rufino and Olga had planned on staying in New York only for the duration of the event; however, they made New York their permanent home for the next decade and a half.
Uncomfortable with the continuing political controversy, Tamayo and Olga moved to Paris in 1949 where they remained for the next decade.
María Izquierdo, a fellow Mexican artist with whom he lived with for a time, taught Tamayo precision in his color choices.
Tamayo was proud of his Mexican culture because his culture nourished him and, by traveling to other countries, his love for Mexico became greater.
Under the Díaz regime, artists of Mexican origin were ignored by society; it was commonly held that they lacked the skills to surpass artists of European descent.
From 1937 to 1949, Tamayo and his wife Olga lived in New York where he painted some of his most memorable works.
While in New York, Tamayo instructed Helen Frankenthaler at the Dalton School Tamayo, while in the United States, attended important exhibitions which influenced his art mechanics.
In a 1926 exhibition, 39 of Tamayo's works were displayed at the Weyhe Gallery in New York just a month after his arrival into the United States.
The artist's sojourn in New York dramatically increased his recognition not only in the United States but in Mexico and other countries also.
Tamayo favored using few colors rather than many; he asserted that fewer colors in a painting gave the art greater force and meaning.
In this painting, Tamayo employs pure colors such as red and purple; his restraint in the choice of color here confirms his belief that fewer colors, far from limiting the painting, actually enlarge the composition's possibilities.
In 1959, Tamayo and his wife returned to Mexico permanently and Tamayo built an art museum in his home town of Oaxaca, the Museo Rufino Tamayo.
Tamayo's work has been displayed in museums throughout the world, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, The Phillips Collection in Washington, the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, the Naples Museum of Art in Naples, Florida and The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain.
On June 12, 1991, Tamayo was admitted to Mexico City's National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition for respiratory and heart failure.
To show how grateful people were towards his art, there were several important exhibitions and publications that were organized after his death.
The region of Óbidos, extending from the Atlantic to the interior of Estremadura Province along the rivers and lakes has been inhabited since the late Paleolithic.
The retaking of Óbidos was a final stage in the conquest of the Estremadura Province region, after the settlements of Santarém, Lisbon and Torres Vedras.
The limestone and marble structure was strengthened and elaborated, while the keep was created in the 14th century, by King Fernando.
The Church of Santa Maria in Óbidos was the setting for the wedding of King Afonso V to his cousin, Princess Isabella of Coimbra, on 15 August 1441, when they were both still children aged 9 and 10, respectively.
Administrative reforms conducted by King Manuel I at Óbidos in 1513, included the institution of a formal charter and major requalification of the urban area.
The 1755 earthquake caused damage to the village walls, a few churches, and many buildings, and resulted in the loss of architecture of Arab or Medieval inspiration.
More recently, the village was a centre of government and meeting place for those involved in the 1974 Carnation Revolution, linking it to the armed forces movement revolt.
Located on the Atlantic Ocean coast, the municipality is bounded in the northeast and east by Caldas da Rainha, in the south by Bombarral, in the southeast by Lourinhã and in the west by Peniche.
The municipality is also home to the famous Praia D'el Rey golf complex, one of the top golf resorts in Europe, and Royal Óbidos - Spa & Golf Resort.
Flowing banners and heraldic flags set the mood together with hundreds of entertainers and stall holders dressed as merchants, jugglers, jesters, wandering minstrels, soldiers and more.
Visitors can shop at the traditional handcrafts fair or watch medieval shows, horse displays and a costumed parade that winds its way through the streets.
Its territory formed part of the provinces of Mérida, Maracaibo, and Barinas, in accordance with successive territorial ordinations pronounced by the colonial authorities.
In 1856 it separated from Barinas and for the first time Apure appeared as an independent province, which in 1864 acquired the status of state.
At the same time, it was the scene of armed encounters that marked the evolution of the War for Independence, as well as numerous battles during the civil war.
In the Apurean environs, Rómulo Gallegos was inspired to write his novel Doña Bárbara, which describes the magnitude of this land.
The origins of the name Apure have not been unanimously accepted: certain sources point to a shrub called apure as inspiration; others to an ancient aboriginal chief named Apur.
However, in this specific case, it is not about the name of the Apure River but the name of the State, and obviously the name of the State of Apure comes from the name of the Apure River.
The work of friar Jacinto de Carvajal (1648) makes reference to the discovery of the Apure River and this name was already known between the Spanish from the first half of the sixteenth century, that is, well before the Venezuelan name of the region, province, or state.
One of the most comprehensive works about Venezuelan etymology, which refers exhaustively to the toponymy of the river and the state of Apure, is that by Tulio Chiossone.
The conquest of these wild lands started mid XVII when the land was populated by many Indian tribes like the peaceful Arawaks and the dangerous Caribs among others.
Actual settlement did not start until early XVIII with large cattle foundations started by landowners looking to expand their already crowded cattle ranches in San Carlos de Austria and other cities.
In the colonial era, Apure was at one time part of the Province of Mérida del Espíritu Santo de la Grita, which merged with Maracaibo in 1676 to form Maracaibo Province.
Apure is an independent state from 1864, when the Venezuelan territory organized itself as los Estados Unidos de Venezuela, or United States of Venezuela.
In 1881 it formed part of the state of Bolívar along with Guayana, but recovered the category of independent state in 1899.
The state of Apure is located to the southwest of Venezuela, positioned between 06º03’45’’ and 08º04’22’’ latitude North and 66º21’45’’ and 72º22’30’’ longitude West.
It is bordered on the north by the states of Táchira, Barinas, and Guárico, on the east and southeast by the states of Bolívar and Amazonas and on the south and west by Colombia.
Originating in the Tertiary (Neogene) and Quaternary (Pleistocene) Periods, the llanos (plains) of Apure are formed by sediments of little or no consolidation, with sandy and clayey deposits built up by floods in recent times.
On the banks of the Orinoco one finds outcroppings of rocks, from the Archean era, which are part of the Guiana Shield and appear at heights called galleys.
A large part of the state of Apure is constituted by an extensive field of dunes (occupying some 30,000 km²), which has the peculiarity of not being a desert climate but a savannah, with natural grasslands alternating with corridors of jungle and voluminous rivers with sand dunes of more than in length and 20 m in height.
Some of these dunes are used by llaneros to establish dairy farms, which, in addition to processing milk, prepare a group of cattle to go to the head of the pack (which in the llanos is referred to as the godmother of the herd), according to the work of Calzadilla Valdés.
It is almost entirely flat, with extensive plains from the convergence of the Apure, Arauca, and Capanaparo Rivers with the Orinoco to the foothills of the Andes.
Protruding between them are zones of dunes, delta plains, and such features as shoals, banks, and estuaries, which are very prone to floods during the rainy season.
Furthermore, in the west of the territory, one finds foothills and mountains with altitudes of greater than 3 km, in a portion of the Cordillera Oriental Andina (Eastern Andean Range) that borders Estado Táchira.
The state is sliced by numerous rivers of great length and breadth, all of which are part of the Orinoco river basin.
The Apure River, the most important of these, is at the same time the main Venezuelan tributary of the Orinoco from its left border, and the second longest in the country: it covers some from its source to its mouth.
All of the lands in the south of the state constitute a zone where the springs, the branches, the rivers, the lagoons, and the swamps extraordinarily complicate the hydrography.
Apure relies on an abundant phreatic zone that supplies the cities and towns with potable water, and a few decades ago networks of modules were created that allowed water storage for use in periods of drought.
The most important rivers in the state are: the Apure for which the state is named; the Arauca, at more than long, which has its source in Colombia and forms the border between the two countries for a stretch, and unites the Apure by means of various branches and springs before flowing into the Orinoco; the Orichuna Channel at more than long; the Capanaparo, Cinaruco, Cunaviche, Matiyure, and Meta.
The upper courses of the Apure River are formed by the Uribante and the Sarare, whose lower parts are found in the state of Apure.
The result is uneven, so that the soils are distributed as follows: in the dune areas, they are acidic and low in nutrients; in sectors of constantly flooded plains, they are of medium quality and deficient in fertility; in the banks they have good drainage and medium textures; and in the northeast (towards Biruaca) they have extraordinary agricultural power.
The livestock sector is basically specialized in the production of cattle, concentrating about 30% of the heads of cattle in the whole national territory.
Extensive empty or almost uninhabited areas characterize its territory, traditionally affected by a strong emigration towards Aragua and the city of Caracas; nevertheless, the negative balance thrown by that phenomenon has been reverted when receiving an important flow of immigrants from the Venezuelan Andes and Colombia.
The population is mostly concentrated in urban areas and 48% is made up of young individuals between 10 and 40 years of age.
It is an autonomous and politically equal state, organizing its administration and public powers through the Constitution of the State of Apure.
Amendments or Reforms to the Constitution may be proposed by the Legislature, the Governor, the majority of the Municipal Councils of the State or 10% of the voters.
For an Amendment or Reform created by the Legislative Branch to be approved, it needs to receive an absolute majority of the votes of the parliamentarians, nor is it necessary to submit the reform to a referendum.
The Governor is elected by the people by direct and secret vote for a period of four years and with the possibility of immediate re-election for equal periods, being in charge of the state administration.
Like the other 23 federal entities of Venezuela, the State maintains its own police force, which is supported and complemented by the National Police and the Venezuelan National Guard.
The state legislature is the responsibility of the Legislative Council of Apure State, a unicameral parliament, elected by the people by direct and secret vote every four years, with the possibility of re-election for two consecutive periods, under a system of proportional representation of the population of the state and its municipalities.
The meaning is unknown, but, according to popular belief, it is 'strong wind that comes from the valleys of the Santo Domingo river', referring to the Barinese wind, which blows in the Llanos Altos.
According to Virgilio Tosta the first use of the place name was before 1628, as an alternative name for Altamira;8 in contrast, according to Betancourt Martínez, it was in the foundations of Barinitas such as Nueva Trujillo de Barinas (1628)9 and Barinas (1759).
It expanded with the creation of the Province of Barinas in 1786, and in 1859 it was reduced to the present region.
Senna aculeata - a low, thorny, yellow-flowered shrub that abounds in the state - is sometimes called the barinas flower because of this toponym, which is why it is the state flower.
The pre-Columbian history of the Western Plains develops mainly around the present day territory of Barinas, which was a highly mobile area where numerous indigenous ethnic groups from the Orinoco, the Amazon and the Andes interacted, using the abundant rivers and the highlands as convenient communication routes.
C. and ending with the colonization, it is considered that there were several successive occupations, which left as evidence, in addition to at least thirty-three petroglyphs and many lithic types in the Piedemonte, more than a score of mounds and roads - long camels - that extend throughout the plain from Colombia, and that could be used for economic, military and/or religious purposes.
Since 250 A.D., groups from the Oriente of Colombia and Ecuador have settled in the Llano Medio of Bariné, since this area is characterized by good soils and little flooding.
This occupation is characterized by the oldest roads and mounds found in the region today, and by the ceramic complex of the El Oso stream.
From 650 to 1200, Araucanian groups dominated the region, inhabiting its wooded areas and bringing with them the chiefdoms and, therefore, the war relations.
The period was also characterized by a remarkable population growth and an extension of the groups to the vicinity of the current Guanarito.
During different periods, the Arawak moved around the region, from which they left for Zulia and the Central-Western part of Venezuela, introducing the cultivation of yucca and establishing trade routes throughout the Orinoco basin.
The Tunebos explored and occupied the Piedemonte and the Llanos Altos of the state, starting from the Sierra Nevada of El Cocuy and the savannas of Casanare, following their tradition of occupying three altitudinal levels and bringing a large part of the Chibcha element to the region.
In 1535, the first presence of Europeans in the region took place, this time on behalf of the Welsares, when the then governor, Jorge de Espira, crossed Barinas along with his group during his expedition in search for El Dorado del Meta and faced jirajaras along the way.
Alonso Pérez de Tolosa also crossed Barinas in 1549, heading for El Tocuyo, after having failed in a conquest entrusted to him by the then governor Juan Pérez de Tolosa.
The colonization of Barinas began on June 30, 1577, when Captain Juan Andrés Varela, commissioned by the governor of the Province of La Grita, Francisco de Cáceres, choosing a mountainous place but close to the Llanos, founded, along with meridians and on the valley of the Santo Domingo River, the city of Altamira de Cáceres.
The primitive Altamira was a little inhabited city, firstly because its inhabitants led a dangerous life being close to the jirajaras, and because they had little space to build.
The precariousness of the conditions of the city was such that Varela decided to resign his post as mayor a few months after founding it and, a decade having passed since the foundation, its inhabitants showed a desire to move.
In spite of the inconveniences, Altamira was populated for four decades thanks to cattle raising and, even more so, tobacco cultivation, and was able to compete with Cuba in the beginning.
This event was due to the fact that this plateau is closer to the Llanos to be conquered, while having much better land for livestock and tobacco cultivation (which had become intensive due to the high demand and had generated a great deal of smuggling led by the Dutch).
After the sacking of Maracaibo and the burning of Gibraltar by the Dutch (1641), the Barinese thought of alternate trade routes; thus, in 1647, Miguel de Ochogavia undertook the successful expedition to discover the Santo Domingo-Apure-Orinoco connection, through which the subsequent conquest of Apure was carried out.
For this reason, on July 11, 1759, the Viceroy of the New Granada, Jose Solis, decreed the definitive foundation of Barinas, with the name and on the current place - where the town of San Antonio de los Cerritos was by then -, in order to establish a center of power closer to the new towns.
On February 15, 1786, King Carlos III decreed, over a territory that extended to cover the current states of Apure and Portuguesa, the creation of the Province of Barinas, separating it from that of Maracaibo.
During this period there was a remarkable diversification and economic growth, being stimulated the trade and cultivation of sugar, indigo, cocoa, cotton, onoto and coffee, and building the first prison and the first hospital.
Barinas joined the process of the Supreme Board of Caracas on May 5, 1810, thus constituting a Board of Government and Conservation, in which the desire to break with the Crown was formed.
After the patriotic victory in the Battle of Niquitao, on July 2, 1813, Barinas became part of the Second Republic, which also fell the following year.
Two years later, the Congress of the Republic separated the current territory of the State of Apure from Barinas, making it a province, with the capital in Achaguas.
In 1824, in view of the Territorial Division Law, the Department of Venezuela disappears and the Department of Apure is created, consisting of the provinces of Barinas and Apure.
After the dissolution of the Great Colombia, the cantons of Guanare, Ospino and Araure initiated managements to segregate themselves from the Province of Barinas, fact that would occur in 1851, when the National Congress erected the Province of Portuguesa.
During the Federal War (1859-1863), General Ezequiel Zamora maintained federalist control of all the Western Plains from Barinas, and consolidated it with the Battle of Santa Inés, on December 10, 1859; after this victory, Zamora left the proclaimed State to besiege San Carlos, being killed there.
As all other Venezuelan provinces, Barinas became a de jure state since the proclamation of the United States of Venezuela, with the Constitution of 1864, thus repealing the ephemeral merger it had with Apure during the last year of the War.
At the end of the 1880s and in view of the secessionist movement of Cojedes, the idea of the disintegration of the South West in Barinas was promoted.
These extend from the Camaguán marshes in the far east and rise in height towards the west, thus dividing into the Lower Plains, up to 120 m above sea level, the Middle Plains, up to 160 m above sea level, and the Upper Plains, up to 200 m above sea level.
This plain ends abruptly where Troncal 5 passes, that is, in a line that goes from the town of Las Veguitas to Punta de Piedras, from which the Mérida mountain range begins, the final part of the Andina.
The lowest and least rugged part of this part of the mountain range is the Sierra del Piedemonte, in which hills, small mountains, depressions and mesas predominate.
The highest and most rugged part is the Sierra Nevada, the Sierra del Tapo-Caparo and the Sierra de Calderas, with the first peak close to 4 000 m above sea level inside Barinas, and the last one with a lot of valleys.
Two large passes are found, both to the north: the pass of the valleys and the depression of the Santo Domingo River and the pass of the Boconó River valleys.
The sediments of this mountain range accumulated to the east and west, giving way to the formation of the Llanos, around the Mesozoic.
The tributaries of the Apure River in Barinas are the Portuguesa, Masparro, Santo Domingo, Caparo, Canaguá and Uribante Rivers, all of which are navigable.
Being in the intertropical zone and extending more towards the meridians than towards the parallels, Barinas has a climate determined by altitude, winds and two seasons: the dry season, from October to March, and the rainy season, from April to September.
The cold winds that flow from the east of the Mérida mountain range to the Llanos Altos cause the characteristic phenomenon of the Barinese wind.
In its flora there are many trees, among them the apamate, the jabillo, the samán, the ceibas, the mangos, the merecure, the cañafístola llanera and the araguaney, the national tree; there are also many palms, especially the llanera.
The Mérida mountain range, on the other hand, has, from its highlands to its foothills, moors, tropical mountain forests and wooded savannas.
Among its vegetation, the cardón, cují, bucare and frailejones are characteristic in its upper parts, while in the foothills pardillo, granadilla, caobas and vera abound.
There are more than 450 species of birds, among which are the prey species - especially the Andean condor -, herons, storks, ducks, the parachute, the Orinoco woodpecker and the carrao.
Mammals are the most abundant vertebrates, highlighting the deer, foxes, otters, anteaters and honey bears, the cachicamo, the cunaguar, the jaguar, the spider monkey and the capuchin, the rabbit and, above all, the chigüire.
In the Llanos, there is an abundance of reptiles, including anacondas, podocnemids, iguanas, rattlesnakes, babo, jicotea turtles, mato real, Orinoco caiman and mapanare.
Fish populate all the rivers, with catfish, piranhas, goldfish and electric eels being abundant in the Llanos, and trout in the Andes.
The 12 municipalities of Barinas are organized according to population conditions - which must be greater than ten thousand for each one - economic development, capacity to generate their own income, geographical situation, historical and cultural elements and other factors that are considered relevant.
The mining potential is expressed by non-metallic minerals such as: limestone, sand, silicate, quartz, red clay, feldspar, gravel, silica sand and phosphorite.
As for energy resources, there are hydrocarbon reserves in the southern zone of San Silvestre, where PDVSA exploits several oil fields.
In 2001, Repsol YPF was awarded the Barrancas block for the production of 2 million cubic meters of free gas per day.
Barinas has a contrast between landscapes of mountains, plains, rivers and streams, offering the tourist a variety of options, from contemplating rare species in their habitat, to enjoying its spectacular parks and natural spas.
From the city of Barinas to the state of Merida, passing through the municipality of Bolivar, which includes the towns of Barinitas, Altamira de Caceres and Calderas, with a pleasant climate, characteristic of the tropical rainforest.
Barinitas, capital of the municipality has the Moromoy Park where you can camp, the Balneario La Barinesa with recreational facilities and towards the southeast the El Cacao Sector, where you can practice mountain biking.
The route that leads to Altamira de Cáceres, is used for bird watching because of the diversity of species, especially the Cock of the Rock.
The Plaza Bolívar was converted into a boulevard and in its surroundings you can find the Church, the Alfredo Arvelo Larriva House of Culture, inns, restaurants, wine cellars, bakeries, shops selling local sweets and handicrafts.
The route that leaves from the city of Barinas towards the Portuguese State, highlighting in this journey two important reservoirs, as the Manuel Palacio Fajardo (Masparro) located 15 minutes from the town of Barrancas and Juan Antonio Rodriguez Dominguez (Boconó - Tucupido) located on the border with the Portuguese State, where you can make boat trips, kayaking and jet skiing, bird watching, and controlled sport fishing.
Its colonial temple of San Nicolás de Bari was built in the 18th century) and there are also popular expressions such as the joropo, corrío, coplas, tonadas, bullfighting and patron saint festivities.
Along the road that leads to Trunk 5, from Puente Paez, via Sabaneta, are the towns of Mijagual, Santa Rosa, Libertad, Dolores, City of Otters and finally Puerto de Nutrias, bordering the State of Apure.
You can see large scale plantations of oilseeds, cereals, sugar cane, tomatoes, yucca and fruit trees, as well as a livestock area.
In Sabaneta, the cultural aspect of Los Diablos Danzantes de San Hipólito stands out, and in the musical aspect, there are the celebrations of the Festival de la Bandola in the town of Dolores (December), the Festival de la Libertad and La Paz (January) and the making of typical musical instruments in the town of Libertad.
In the month of January and at various times of the year the inhabitants of this area and pilgrims from various parts of the world venerate the image of Nuestra Señora del Rosario del Real, which appeared in the mid-seventeenth century.
When passing the bridge over the River Paguey, we find the village of San Silvestre, which in December celebrates its patron saint's festival in honour of San Silvestre, where the bullfighting is one of the most popular tourist events in the village.
It is a protected ecosystem that has forests, moors, xerophilous scrubs and the highest altitudes in the country, like Pico Bolivar with 5,007 meters above sea level, the Humboldt Peak 4,920 meters above sea level and Bompland 4,942 meters above sea level, La Concha 4,920 meters above sea level, El Toro 4,755 meters above sea level and El Leon 4,740 meters above sea level.
The Balneario Municipal and El Balneario Río Boconó located on the banks of the Cipe River, in the Obispos municipality and in the Alberto Arvelo Torrealba municipality, respectively, are natural spas surrounded by lush trees.
Around Peña Viva there is a vast network of pre-Columbian petroglyphs that constitute the richest and most complete sample known in Venezuela today.
In the State of Barinas, the rural population had traditionally predominated, and it was estimated that in 1950 the rural population corresponded to 84.8% of the total population of Barinas.
The State in general has the second largest Colombian community in Venezuela with more than 300,000 after the State of Táchira.
These are grouped in the different and main cities of the entity being the city of Barinas the one with more presence.
This immigration, which has been in this region for more than 40 years, is mainly due to the internal problems of the neighboring country, such as violence and economic problems.
The state of Barinas has a First Division football club, called Zamora Fútbol Club, founded on February 2, 1977, and the stadium in which they reside is La Carolina Stadium, also one of the stadiums used for the 2007 Copa America, held in Venezuela.
Likewise, in 2007, Barinas hosted the second leg of the Nissan South American Cup between Zamora FC and Olmedo of Ecuador, which the visiting team won 2 goals to 1, being this the first international match of Zamora FC.
And by the middle of the year 2013, they will rise with the Clausura Championship for the second time, and will be the champion of the Venezuelan Professional Football Tournament against Deportivo Anzoategui.
In 2013, Zamora Football Club won its first absolute championship, by being proclaimed champions of the 2013 Closing Tournament, in May 2014 it won its Absolute Bicampionship vs Mineros de Guayana, and in December 2016 it got its third star (absolute championship) in 5 years after being crowned champion in the Opening Tournament vs Deportivo Anzoátegui and winning the Absolute Final vs Zulia FC.
In Baseball, the Petroleros de Barinas Team was established, which plays the Venezuelan national parallel league, where it has been proclaimed champion twice.
This road has 7,094.5 kilometers of trunk roads of which only 15% are paved, so it is advisable to travel in all-terrain vehicles.
Barinas is a state that is part of the Venezuelan federation, which is symmetrical: each entity has its own legal personality, competences and income, and has autonomous executive and legislative power, with authorities elected by majority rule in universal, direct and secret suffrage for four-year periods and revocable by referendum.
Venezuela's states are obliged to maintain independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to comply with and enforce the Constitution and the law.
The foundations of the essence of Barinas are in the ethical and moral heritage of its people, in the values of freedom, equality, justice, cooperation, solidarity and independence, in the personal values and spiritual potential of its people, in its natural resources and in its history, its traditions, its customs, its idiosyncrasy, its folklore, its art and its own aspirations.
Barinas must also protect, together with its neighbouring states and with all the means at its disposal, biodiversity, which includes cultural diversity.
The aims of the Barinese State are: to protect and defend the person and his dignity, to facilitate the exercise of the popular will and citizen participation in public affairs, to maintain freedom, to promote private initiative and free enterprise and the welfare of the people.
The citizens of Barinas are obliged by law to protect the family, know, promote and protect the cultural heritage, contribute to economic and human development, encourage private initiative and the promotion of free enterprise and reject violence.
The executive power of each state in Venezuela is exercised by the governors, who in the case of Barinas could be reelected only once, until the national constitution is reformed in 2009.
The governor of Barinas is elected by direct universal and secret ballot every 4 years and has, as assistants, his secretaries.
The objectives of the government of Barinas according to the law are: to achieve the spiritual, educational and economic elevation of the people, to create a framework of incentives that allow the achievement of technological innovations that contribute to the integral development of the State and to create the conditions that raise the levels of productivity in the economic activities.
Zenaida Gallardo was sworn in as the governor of Barinas State on 5 January 2017, replacing Adán Chávez, who was appointed as Venezuelan Minister for Culture on 4 January 2017.
Like the other 23 federal entities of Venezuela, the State maintains its own police force, which is supported and complemented by the National Police and the Venezuelan National Guard.
The legislative power of each state in Venezuela is exercised by a legislative council, made up of seven to fifteen legislators each, who proportionally represent the population of their states and their municipalities.
The seat of the Legislative Council of Barinas is the Manuel Palacio Fajardo building; its powers are limited to those designated by the constitutions and laws.
During the time of the Spanish Empire, it was part of the province of Nueva Andalucía and later it was annexed to the province of Guayana from 1777 when King Charles III created the Captaincy General of Venezuela.
The capital of the state, Ciudad Bolivar was founded on December 21, 1595 by Antonio de Berrío, who had come from Nueva Granada (present-day Colombia) with the mission of populating Guyana.
The town, originally called Santo Tomás de Guayana, was a fortified port that had to move three times, since it was the target of constant assaults by Caribbean Indians and European corsairs, among whom Sir Walter Raleigh stood out in 1617.
In 1764 it found a definitive site on the banks of the Orinoco, in its narrowest sector, for which it took the name of Santo Tomás de la Nueva Guayana de la Angostura del Orinoco, known simply as Angostura, a name that has persisted for over 80 years and is still remembered today.
In 1800, Baron Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland visited Angostura and from there they went through El Pao to Barcelona and then to Cumaná, thus ending the tour of Venezuela.
The Congress of Angostura, inaugurated on February 15, 1819 by the Liberator Simón Bolívar, under the inspiration of General Francisco de Miranda's Ideology, represented the second Constituent Congress of the Republic of Venezuela.
In 1821 (during the Great Colombia) it became a department of Orinoco with the largest extension of the time (whose capital was Santo Tomás de la Nueva Guayana de la Angostura del Orinoco or Angostura).
When Gran Colombia was dissolved, the territory changed to the Province of Guayana until 1854 when it became the Province of Orinoco (whose capital was Ciudad Bolívar).
After the separation in 1856 of the then Federal Territory Amazonas, the province of Guayana was renamed in 1864 as the Sovereign State of Guayana once the Federal Revolution came to power under the command of Juan Crisóstomo Falcón.
In 1879, it was one of the seven states of the Federation, without the territory corresponding to Amazonas which had become Federal Territory Amazonas.
In 1881 it became one of the nine political entities into which the country was divided, receiving the name of Great State Bolivar formed by Guayana and Apure.
Its territory was diminished with the creation of the federal territories Yuruari and El Caura (1881), Armisticio (1883) and Delta (1884).
On July 21, 1903, in the vicinity of Ciudad Bolivar, the last battle of the Liberating Revolution was fought where the government army under the command of Juan Vicente Gómez defeated the opposition forces of General Nicolás Rolando.
The defeat of the Liberating Revolution marked the end of the 19th century in Venezuela, which was characterized by political instability and great civil wars, giving way to a period of consolidation of the central government under the rule of the Andean people.
The state gained more autonomy in 1989 when the first elections for governor and legislative assembly were held and the practice of appointments from the central government in Caracas was ended.
On November 13, 2006, the Orinoquia Bridge was inaugurated, the second largest in the country, which facilitates communications between Ciudad Guayana and the opposite bank of the Orinoco River in the states of Anzoátegui and Monagas.
The Orinoco Mining Arc (AMO), officially created on February 24, 2016 as the Arco Mining Orinoco National Strategic Development Zone, 2 is an area rich in mineral resources that the Republic of Venezuela has been operating since 2017; occupies mostly the north of the Bolivar state and to a lesser extent the northeast of the Amazonas state and part of the Delta Amacuro state.
It is bordered to the north by the Orinoco River and the States of Delta Amacuro, Monagas, Anzoátegui and Guárico; to the south by the Federative Republic of Brazil; to the southwest by the State of Amazonas; to the east by the territory of Guayana Esequiba, in dispute with the Cooperative Republic of Guyana; and to the west by the State of Apure.
Three major landscapes can be recognized in a relief between the Guiana shield: the isolated Orinoco savannahs and low mountains, the mountainous landscape dominated by the tabular peaks of the Tepuis and the valleys of the tributaries of the Orinoco and the lowlands and partly savannahs of the Yuruari, limited to the east by the Imataca mountain range.
Almost all of the state is occupied by the Guiana massif; this suffered epirogenic movements that reactivated the basal rock of the shield, cut by fluvial erosion, reached it and gave rise to a staggering of jumps, originating tabular reliefs known as tepuis.
The highest plateaus exceed 2,000 m. The highest point is Mount Roraima (2,875 m), located in the Pacaraima Range, which continues south with those of Parima and Tapirapeco.
In the northeast, the Nuria and Imataca mountains stand out, as well as plateaus and hills over 500 m high drained by the Yuruari River.
It comprises the Great Savannah and the rest of the territory west of the Caroni River, made up of three high plateaus.
The southwest of the massif is made up of lowlands through which the Ventuari, Alto Río Negro and Alto Orinoco rivers flow, with flat topography interrupted by witness hills.
Except for the area comprised in the Yuruari- Cuyuni river basin, the entire state is included in the Orinoco drainage system.
All of them dig their courses through a rugged topography in the hard rocks of the Guiana shield, giving rise to rapid valleys and waterfalls.
The Guri Reservoir and the Simón Bolívar Hydroelectric Plant (formerly Raúl Leoni), which covers more than 80,000 hectares, is the most important center for electricity generation in Venezuela.
The Churún River, a tributary of the Caroní River, flows from the Auyan Tepui plateau, with a 936.60 meter drop: Angel Falls, the highest in the world.
The climate is tropical, although it varies according to the zones; thus, the low areas present high temperatures, which reach an average of 27º C, and abundant rainfall.
The variation of the climate of the extensive territory is determined by the altitude and the winds since the latitude (between 4° and 8° of North latitude) places it totally in the equatorial strip.
The low northern lands, influenced by the east and northeast winds, are characterized by a rainy season and a dry season, both very marked; the southern lands receive winds loaded with humidity from the Amazon depression and from the southeast that condense at the contact of the elevations producing intense rains of more than 1600 mm.
The State of Bolivar is the largest state in Venezuela and covers a large area of 242,801 km² which represents 26.49% of the national total.
In addition, de Iure claims the territories of Guayana Esequiba south of the Cuyuni River, Cuyuni-Mazaruni, Potaro-Siparuni and Alto Tacutu-Alto Esequibo, which would increase the territory by 124,414 km².
The geography of the State of Bolivar is as follows: the State of Bolivar is located in the southeast of Venezuela, it has jungle vegetation and a savannah climate, the State is mostly limited by the Orinoco River.
The State of Bolivar is made up of several towns, but some are outstanding for certain reasons, making some of these towns more livable than others.
In the State of Bolivar there are great energy sources that are very important for Venezuela (the Guri Dam, among others), famous agricultural products (Guiana cheese, cotton, yucca, cassava, white and brown catalinas, naiboa, among others), and many minerals in great demand (iron, gold, bauxite, among others).
The soil, topography, and climate characteristics have led to consider the area as a strong restriction for agricultural development, since a large part of its soils are composed of highly siliceous rocks, with low moisture retention capacity and strong acid reaction.
Nevertheless, the exploitation of a great variety of agricultural items, the immense reserves of forest resources, allow us to foresee that through the use of appropriate technology, irrigation and selection of the size of the exploitation, this sector could contribute in an important way in the integral development of the area.
Bolivar State has the Siderurgica del Orinoco (SIDOR), which is in charge of steel production with Direct Reduction technologies and Electric Arc Furnaces, with natural resources available in the Guayana region.
The state of Bolivar has some of the most important tourist attractions in Venezuela and South America among which the Angel Falls (the world's largest waterfall) and numerous characteristic mountains called Tepuis such as Mount Roraima, as well as many natural wells, caves, rivers, fluvial islands, forests, rock formations, waterfalls and lakes of all types.
The first of the castles, San Francisco de Asís (Fuerte Villapol) was built on the banks of the Orinoco in the 17th century between 1678 and 1684, as referred to by Gerónimo Martínez-Mendoza, by order of the Governor Cap.
Tiburcio de Axpe y Zúñiga, in the narrowest part of the Orinoco after Angostura, on the land where San Francisco's auspices once stood, established by Don Antonio de Berrío, the first governor of Guayana and founder of Santo Tomé de Guayana.
Years later and to reinforce the defenses of the first castle was built the Castle of El Padrastro or San Diego - construction began in 1747 - so called because it was located on a hillock or stepfather, from where you can see the Castle of San Francisco which it protects.
These castles were restored in 1897 by the then President of Venezuela, Joaquín Crespo, who renamed them Fuerte Campo Elías al Castillo de San Diego and Fuerte Villapol al Castillo de San Francisco, in honor of these heroes who, despite being born in Spain, fought in the Republican ranks during the war of independence.
These ruins served as the governing house of the Catalan Capuchins, and were declared a National Historic Monument on August 2, 1960.
It exemplifies a magnificent building belonging to the colonial architecture, finally built with stones, bricks, tiles, wood and mortar, which gave it a structure strong enough to be preserved through the centuries.
A bell tower, the chapel and a mural composed of images representing the sun and moon, clouds and angels, as well as silhouettes, which presumably represent the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception and Saint Francis of Assisi, are components that can be seen inside this rectangular space that follows the structure of the main nave of the temple or church.
The same is provided with a parking lot that communicates to the temple by means of a paved road, and connects to the bank of the Macagua reservoir.
In other environments the joropo is danced, exactly in the northwest of the state, due to the proximity of the plains of Guariqueños and Apureños.
The passage, the blows, the tunes to the sound of the harp, cuatro and maracas, are characteristic of this area of Bolivar.
This dance originated with the arrival of the Antilleans who brought their customs and their typical English, it was mixed with ours emerging along with the local patois and many other customs.
The Indians make objects that are utilitarian and that are very sought after by tourists such as peony seed necklaces, San Pedro tears, toucan peaks, etc...
According to article 9 of the Constitution of the State of Bolivar of 2001, Spanish is the official language of the State and all the indigenous languages are official for their respective peoples.
The inhabitants of the jungle use reed flutes and rattles for their spiritual invocations or for joy in moments of collective expansion.
In other environments the joropo is danced, exactly in the northwest of the State, due to the proximity to the plains of Guariqueños and Apureños; the passage, the blows, the tunes to the sound of the harp, maracas and cuatro are characteristic in this area of the State of Bolivar.
Penetrating into the interior, the carnivals in El Callao are very colorful, and they already have fame and tradition with the peculiar Calypso.
The Guiana Calypso originated with the arrival of Antilleans to the State, who brought their customs in their typical English, mixed with ours, giving rise to the Calypso and many other customs.
A notable figure of the carnival groups and its main sponsor was the popularly called la Negra Isidora, who gave much importance to this spectacle.
It is characterized by the use of yucca, merey, corn and pescaculodo, from which dishes with unique and extraordinary flavors are derived.
The State of Bolivar has a very varied gastronomy using the products of the zone, being the cassava (prepared from the yucca) the main companion of the diverse plates, standing out then the fish of river known as the sapoara and the merey from where diverse candies, nougats, etc are prepared.
The sapoara, a gastronomic tradition of the State of Bolivar, is a fish that abounds in the vicinity of the Orinoco and Caroní rivers.
It is defined by specialists as the most characteristic and distinctive fish of Ciudad Bolívar because of its habit of appearing once a year, being one of the few places where it can be fished, in front of the Orinoco promenade in Ciudad Bolívar.
Fishing for the toad takes place exactly in front of the dock where the boats that transport the inhabitants of Ciudad Bolivar and Soledad arrive.
One of the dishes prepared with the sapoara, is the gilthead, baked, stuffed and the morrocoy cake cut in wheels, in sancocho and the rest remains in the imagination of the housewives or the great chefs of the gastronomic field that abound in the State.
Thus, the recipes of the specialists who have been cooking for years for the demanding national and international palates, suggest that the fish can be prepared fried (dorado), having salt and garlic as main ingredients.
If the preference is to eat it baked, do not forget to open it from the back and cover it with salt, applying various condiments such as chopped seasoning (chili, onion, paprika), mustard, etc., and fill it with vegetables and egg and then wrap it in aluminum foil, placing it in the oven until it browns.
This dish can be accompanied by yucca, salad and rice or with some potatoes au gratin, all according to the taste of each person.
Sancocho de sapoara, is undoubtedly also a delight of the culinary art of the State of Bolivar; it is prepared like any soup and you add the vegetables and seasonings you want.
This fish, due to its condition and unique appearance during one month of the year, forces everyone to enjoy its nutrients and rich flavor.
It also has the largest baseball stadium in the country, the Estadio La Ceiba in Ciudad Guayana (Venezuela), recently restored and with a capacity of 30,000 spectators.
The 2007 Copa America, held throughout Venezuela, including the State of Bolivar, some games were played in the re-inaugurated Cachamay Stadium, making it the largest international event held in the State.
Several international tournaments of junior categories have also been held and it has hosted several games of the Copa Libertadores, the Copa Conmebol and the Copa Sudamericana.
In 2007, with the expansion of the Venezuelan Professional Basketball League, a franchise was approved in the basketball area, which was initially called Macizos de Guayana and at the beginning of 2008 in its presentation to the press was renamed Gigantes de Guayana, which became the tenth team in the Venezuelan basketball league playing since then in the Hermanas González Gym.
At the end of 2011, the first season of the new Venezuelan Volleyball Super League was held, where the Huracanes de Bolivar team debuted and was the champion of the 2011 season, beating the Industriales de Valencia team in the final.
The access to the State is possible by water, land and air; the entrance from the States of Amazonas, Apure, Guárico, Anzoátegui, Monagas and Delta Amacuro; being the international airports of Ciudad Bolívar and Ciudad Guayana the most important, also has international access.
Other airports of national traffic are in La Urbana, Caicara del Orinoco, Upata, Guasipati, La Paragua, El Dorado, Santa Elena de Uairén, Canaima and other smaller ones distributed in the entity.
The main land routes are the North Trunk Highway 19 which, through the Angostura Bridge, crosses the Orinoco River from the State of Anzoátegui Municipality of Independencia, Soledad to Ciudad Bolívar and continues to Ciudad Guayana; and the Highway that, through the Orinoquia Bridge, crosses the Orinoco and joins Trunk Highway 19 very close to Ciudad Guayana.
From here the Trunk 10 starts via Upata, Guasipati, El Callao, Tumeremo, El Dorado, La Escalera - Gran Saba - km 88, until Santa Elena de Uairen, crosses the border with Brazil, reaches the Line to continue to Boa Vista and Manaos Brazil.
The waterways are mainly on the Orinoco, in fishing boats among others, but there are also trips on certain rivers of the state, such as the Caura and the Caroní.
The Tocoma Dam officially known as the Manuel Piar Hydroelectric Plant is a Venezuelan hydroelectric plant located on the lower Caroni River in the state of Bolivar.
Ten Kaplan generating units of 230 MW, manufactured by the Argentine company IMPSA, are expected to start operations between 2012 and 2014.
The Caruachi Dam is a water reservoir located more than 60 kilometers downstream of the Guri Reservoir, and 25 kilometers upstream of the Macagua Reservoir in Venezuela.
CVG Edelca, in view of the high environmental impact caused by the construction of the third hydroelectric dam in the Caroní, worked together with the Ministry of the Environment to rescue the flora, fauna and valuable archeological treasures found in the region, which are now permanently exhibited in the Caroní Ecomuseum.
The 12 generators in the engine room of the Caruachi Dam are covered with reproductions of baskets of the Yekuana ethnic group.
Each turbine represents the myths of the tribe covering a space of 16 meters in diameter to cover the entire turbine.
The Macagua Dam, also known as the Antonio Jose de Sucre Hydroelectric Plant, is part of the Bolivar State Electricity Generating Park.
It consists of three stages: Macagua I, which has 6 small units; Macagua II, which has 12 units; and the newer Macagua III, which has 2 units.
One of the greatest attractions of the place is a bridge that stands on the spillway, through which you can drive.
It organizes its administration and its public powers through the Constitution of the State of Bolivar, approved by the Legislative Council in Ciudad Bolivar on July 2, 2001.
The Governor is elected by the people through direct and secret vote for a period of four years and with the possibility of being reelected continuously, being in charge of the state administration.
Like the other 23 federal entities of Venezuela, the State maintains its own police force, which is supported and complemented by the National Police and the Venezuelan National Guard.
The State Legislature is the responsibility of the unicameral Legislative Council of the State of Bolivar, elected by the people through direct and secret vote every four years, with the possibility of continuous re-election, under a system of proportional representation of the population of the State and its municipalities.
The State has 15 deputies, of which 4 belong to the opposition and 11 to the ruling party, including a representation of the indigenous peoples and communities of the State of Bolivar.
Exploiting this reactivity, copper nitrate can be used to generate nitric acid by heating it until decomposition and passing the fumes directly into water.
The alpha form has only one Cu environment, with [4+1] coordination, but the beta form has two different copper centers, one with [4+1] and one that is square planar.
Five hydrates have been reported: the monohydrate (Cu(NO)·HO), the sesquihydrate (Cu(NO)·1.5HO), the hemipentahydrate (Cu(NO)·2.5HO), a trihydrate (Cu(NO)·3HO), and a hexahydrate ([Cu(HO)](NO)).
The hexahydrate is interesting because the Cu-O distances are all equal, not revealing the usual effect of Jahn-Teller distortion that is otherwise characteristic of octahedral Cu(II) complexes.
Copper(II) nitrate finds a variety of applications, the main one being its conversion to copper(II) oxide, which is used as catalyst for a variety of processes in organic chemistry.
The city of San Carlos was founded in 1760 by the missionaries Fray Gabriel de San Lucas and Fray Salvador de Cadiz, with the name of San Carlos de Austria.
By that same Royal Decree, the Missionaries of the Province of Caracas were granted the pertinent attributions to found a Spanish village on the banks of the Tirgua River, which would serve as a permanent seat and refuge for the Indians who were gathered in the Missions and nearby towns, with the aim of imposing them in community life.
Other important towns founded by that time were El Pao (1661); Nuestra Señora de la Chiquinquirá de El Tinaco, founded by Fray Pablo de Orichuela (1760); Santa Clara de Caramacate, by Fray Cirilo Bautista de Sevilla (1750), which were under the jurisdiction and administration of the Province of Caracas, with the category of Cantons.
The current territory of Cojedes was part of the province of Carabobo until March 3, 1855, when the Legislative Assembly created the province of Cojedes with capital in San Carlos, with the cantons of San Carlos, Tinaco and Pao.
The assassination of General Ezequiel Zamora, on January 10, 1860, occurred in front of the San Juan Church, where a stray bullet took his life.
The story of General Castro is accompanied by a series of testimonies of people who even accompanied General Zamora at the time of his death and later in the various burials.
On March 28, 1864, Cojedes ceased to be a province and became one of the founding states of the United States of Venezuela, to comply with the provisions of the federal Constitution in force for that year.6 In 1866 it merged with Carabobo into a single territorial entity, thus lasting until 1872 when they separated again.
In 1879 it became part of the State of the South, which also included Carabobo, Portuguesa, Zamora and the Nirgua department of the State of Yaracuy.
In 1901 it regained its statehood, however this was lost in 1904 when it became part of the state of Zamora, until August 4, 1909 when it acquired its autonomy again.
In 1989 the first direct universal and secret regional elections for governor were held and the then called Cojedes State Legislative Assembly.
It is made up of large extensions of plains populated by forests and savannahs that dominate the landscape, where there are also extensive herds of cattle, one of the main economic resources of the state.
The regional tree is the apamate, which is one of the most beautiful, useful and most cultivated trees of the Venezuelan flora.
Among the mammals that can be found in the territory of the state are the Araguato and Capuchin monkeys, the cunaguaro, the limpet and the tapir.
You can also find birds such as the maracana macaw (Ara severus), several species of parakeets and parrots, herons and more.
The state of Cojedes has important water sources, such as the Pao dam, located in the Pao municipality, which has more than 1,500 hectares and supplies water to the states of Aragua and Carabobo.
According to the MAC 89/91 Agricultural Statistical Yearbook, the main products grown in the state are: corn, yam, sorghum, quinchoncho, cassava, mango and other fruits.
Lumber production, initially based on the irrational extraction of fine species, has lately been oriented towards the so-called hard and soft woods, diminishing the productive capacity of the forests.
The plumages (bracelets and earrings) and Yanomami ornaments, the Arawak group ornaments and the masks and ornaments of the piaroas, are the most difficult pieces to obtain and therefore have a unique value.
As it is a plain state, it is common to consume meat from hunting such as: deer, capybara (chigüire), paca (lapa), etc.
Various sports are practiced in the state, in 2003 the Universidad Iberoamericana del Deporte (now called Universidad deportiva del sur) was inaugurated.
This state is autonomous and equal in political terms, it organizes its administration and public powers through a Constitution of the Cojedes State, dictated by the Legislative Council.
It is composed of the Governor of Cojedes State and a group of State Secretaries who are appointed by him to assist him in the management of the government.
The Governor is elected by the people by direct and secret vote for a period of four years and with the possibility of being re-elected continuously, being in charge of the state administration.
Like the other 23 federal entities of Venezuela, the State maintains its own police force, which is supported and complemented by the National Police and the Venezuelan National Guard.
The state legislature is the responsibility of the Legislative Council of the State of Cojedes, a unicameral body, elected by the people through direct and secret vote every four years, and may be re-elected for two consecutive periods, under a system of proportional representation of the population of the state and its municipalities.
Delta Amacuro State (, ) is one of the 23 states of Venezuela, and is the location of the Orinoco Delta.
The Paria Gulf and the Atlantic Ocean are found to the north, Bolívar State is found to the south, the Atlantic Ocean and Guyana are found to the east, and Monagas State is found to the west.
Based on theories, anthropological evidence and oral tradition, the antecedents of human activity within this territory date from the time of the first displacements through America; Groups from the eastern slopes of the Peruvian Andes were introduced into the Lower Orinoco, they are called Kotoch or Chavinses; They developed knowledge of pottery -of which formal and technical reminiscences in ceramics are kept- and horticulture.
With time other groups established themselves in its surface, the oral Tradition stands out among them the Barrancas, who through the cultivation of the bitter yucca reached a remarkable economic development and social structure, even with agricultural surpluses that could have stimulated some type of commerce through the monopoly of its production.
The expansion of this and other tribes could date back to the beginning of the first millennium, reaching the northeast coast, a large part of the central coast and the Lesser Antilles by the end of this one.
The most recent archaeological evidence of pre-Columbian human activity is attributed to the Warao Ethnic Group, according to verbally documented stories; its members joined as deserters from other hostile tribes, probably being displaced from the north of Brazil or the Eastern Savannah; currently some inhabitants of the state continue to identify themselves as part of this tribe and are a legally recognized group within its demography.
They were originally fishermen, hunters and gatherers, but later became farmers with the introduction of the Chinese Ocumo from the island of Trinidad and Guyana.
Thanks to the remoteness of the Delta, the Warao managed to keep a certain independence from the European and later criollo colonizers.
He wrote about the macareo, the noise that occurs when a large river flow (the Orinoco river) meets the ocean currents.
Vicente Yañez Pinzón in 1500 discovered the Delta and Diego de Ordaz, commander of the Order of Santiago, captain of Hernán Cortés, in 1532 climbed the Orinoco to the confluence with the Meta River.
The first documented naval expedition from this region occurred in June 1531 (38 years after the Discovery of America) by Diego de Ordaz, who decided to explore the Orinoco with several ships.3 Antonio Berrío entered the region in the 1580s.
During this century, several governors, both Spanish and English (from Trinidad) tried to join the Warao and structure them into populations, which caused their desertion to the territories of Suriname.
Raleigh referred to the Tivativa as the inhabitants of that region.4 He said they were divided into two tribes, the Ciawani and the Waraweete.
Alexander von Humboldt documented in his Journeys to the Equatorial Regions that the Waraos were the only indigenous people still outside the control of the Colony.
The settlement of non-indigenous people began in 1848 when Julián Flores, Juan Millán, Tomás Rodríguez, Regino Suiva and others founded the Forty-Eight Settlement which is the predecessor of the present Tucupita.
Before 1884, this region was part of the Department of Zea, within the State of Guayana, which was segregated in 1884.
On February 27th, 1884, the delimitation of the Delta Federal Territory was constitutionally established with an area of 63,667 km²; formed by the districts of Manoa and Guzmán Blanco, being Pedernales its capital.
On October 21, 1893 the entity disappears from the federal map, after being annexed to the state of Bolivar during international tensions with the United Kingdom over the area of the Delta claimed by British Guyana.
On October 3, 1899, through the Arbitration Award of Paris and the representation of the United States based on the Monroe Doctrine, the government of Ignacio Andrade loses to the United Kingdom 23,467 km² of this region, being annexed to British Guyana.
On April 26, 1901, it was restored under the name of Territorio Federal Delta Amacuro, composed of the districts of Barima and Tucupita.
In 1940 the Organic Law of the Federal Territory Delta Amacuro was promulgated, which divided it into the departments of Tucupita, Pedernales and Antonio Díaz.
4,295 of August 3, 1991, the Special Law was promulgated, giving the Territory the status of State, with the same political-territorial division as before.
On January 25, 1995, the State Legislative Assembly issued its second Law of Political Territorial Division, with the 4 current municipalities; it also annexes to the state the hamlets Nuevo Mundo, Platanal, El Triunfo and El Triunfito, previously under the jurisdiction of the State of Bolivar.
In the last decade, Delta Amacuro has seen an important migration of criollo Venezuelans looking for jobs in the oil sector.
The state of Delta Amacuro has an extension of 40,200 kilometers, which represents a little more than 4.6% of the national territory of Venezuela.
It is strategically important because it is one of the few territories with direct access to the Atlantic Ocean (most of the Venezuelan coast is made up of waters in the Caribbean Sea or Sea of the Antilles).
The region is located in the extreme east of Venezuela and its main geographical feature is the Orinoco River Delta (the most important and longest in Venezuela) with 18,810 square kilometers and the so-called Serrania del Imataca which has 21390 square kilometers and extends even to the neighboring states of Bolivar and Monagas.
Four types of plant formations can be recognized: Forest mainly of mangrove and with more importance in the forest reserve of the Imataca, Forest mainly in the center of the state, Savannah mainly in the west of the Region and estuary in the eastern part that gives to the Atlantic Ocean.
The state has its highest point in the so-called Monte Indira with 687 meters above sea level which contrasts with its lowest point in the sector of Casacoima with -48 meters above sea level.
Its climate is affected by the proximity to the coast and the rivers that cross it being mostly tropical rainy in the continental or internal zone but of Savannah when approaching the coast.
The population of the region went from only 5,766 inhabitants in 1873 to 33,648 in 1950 when it was still a federal territory.
At the beginning of 1990, when it was preparing to become a state of Venezuela, it had 84,564 inhabitants, with the population estimated at 197,200 by 2017.
According to the INE census of indigenous communities, there were some 26,080 indigenous people, mainly Waraos, in the state by 2001.
According to the population count for First Nations, there were in 2001 some 2680 Native Americans in the Delta, most of which were Waraos.
According to article 13 of the constitution of the State of Delta Amacuro of 2015 the official language of the State is Spanish but in recognition of the multiethnic and pluricultural condition of the region, the indigenous languages of the State are also official, highlighting in this article the fundamental use of the Warao language.
According to article 14 of the same legal text, education in the state will be given in Spanish, but in the indigenous communities it will be accompanied by the respective local language, taking into account the indigenous educators to guarantee a bilingual education.
The State of Delta Amacuro stands out for its natural landscapes, rivers, islands and streams, its tropical forest and variety of animals that can be observed in their natural habitat.
It is an autonomous state and politically equal to the rest of the Federation, it organizes its administration and its public powers through the Constitution of the State Delta Amacuro, dictated by the Legislative Council.
It is composed of State Governor Delta Amacuro and a group of State Secretaries who are appointed by him and serve as his assistants in the management of the Government.
The Governor is elected by the people by direct and secret ballot for a four-year term with the possibility of re-election.
Since its creation as a federal state by special law in 1992, Delta Amacuro State has elected its governors in direct elections.
The current governor is Lizeta Hernández Abchi, a member of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), who is re-elected for the 2017-2021 term.
The state legislature is the unicameral Legislative Council of Delta Amacuro State, elected by the people through direct and secret vote every four years, being able to be reelected for two consecutive periods, under a system of proportional representation of the population of the state and its municipalities, the state has 7 deputies, the 7 belong to the officialism.
The area was first explored in 1499 by Juan de la Cosa and Américo Vespucio, as part of an expedition supervised by Alonso de Ojeda.
In 1811, when Venezuela declared its independence, Coro remained faithful to the Spanish Crown and merged with the Province of Maracaibo, until Fernando VII decreed the creation of the Province of Coro in 1815.
Finally in 1821 when it was liberated by Josefa Camejo during the War of Independence it appears as a province of the department of Zulia of the Republic of the Great Colombia.
In 1856 it is confirmed its category of province integrated by the cantons of Coro, San Luis, Casigua, Costa Arriba, Cumarebo and Paraguaná.
In 1859, after the events of the initiation of the Federal War that took place on February 20th in Coro, it is declared the Independent State of Coro.
In 1899 it suffers a change of name, recovering for a short period of time its historical denomination of Estado Coro; returning in 1901 with the name that is known at the present time.
In 1899, the territory comprising the towns of Tucacas and Chichiriviche, which until that year belonged to the Great State of Lara, was annexed, giving to the latter what is now the municipality of Urdaneta.
Coro, the capital, founded with the name of Santa Ana de Coro, was declared National Monument in 1950, and UNESCO has named it Cultural Patrimony of the Humanity in 1993.
To the south, it is made up of medium altitude mountain ranges configured from east to west, which in the eastern part of the state reach the Caribbean forming maritime valleys.
While the western part, from the city of Coro there is a coastal plain that runs parallel to the Gulf of Venezuela.
To the north lies one of the most characteristic geographic features that make up the Venezuelan coast: the Paraguana Peninsula, linked to the mainland by the isthmus of Los Medanos de Coro.
In Coro there are 417 mm of rain per year, which usually falls in dry years, with an average temperature of 28.4 °C, while in Punto Fijo there are 316 mm of annual rainfall with average temperatures of 27.6 °C.
The extremely dry desert conditions, with rainfall of less than 300 mm, are recognised on the western coasts of Cordoba and above all on the isthmus of Los Médanos de Coro, with average annual temperatures of between 28 and 29 °C.
Somewhat more favorable, with temperatures between 25 and 27 °C, are the climatic conditions of the mountainous foothills, recognizing a sub-humid climate in the higher altitudes of the Sierras de San Luis and Churuguara, with annual rainfall of 1300 mm and average temperatures of 22 °C.
They vary in quality, but in general the availability of land for traditional agriculture can be classified as low, with 89% of very low potential, 3% of low potential and 6% of moderate potential.
The limitations of the arid and semi-arid soils come from salinity, water deficit caused by low rainfall, low concentration of organic matter and the influence of climatic agents such as wind.
The Corian System of Falcon State presents a diversity of landscapes ranging from coastal plains on its Caribbean side, to mountain ranges formed by valleys and hills, in an area of transition between the two major mountain systems of the country.
The Sierra de San Luis has the highest altitude of the entire system of basins of that state, but are very modest heights whose maximum does not exceed 1600 meters (Cerro Galicia).
Unlike the rest of the peninsula, the characteristics of Santa Ana Hill are the contrast between its greenness and the xerophytic vegetation of the Paraguaná area.
It has three peaks: the Santa Ana (the highest that ascends to about 830 meters above sea level), the Buena Vista and Moruy.
The state's hydrography is very poor, all the rivers flow into the north, either into the Caribbean Sea or the Gulf of Venezuela.
However, the main Venezuelan river of the Caribbean basin, the Tocuyo, bathes a large area of the state flowing into the Caribbean on the East Coast of the state after travelling 423 km.
From the basin of the Gulf of Venezuela, the main ones are the Matícora (201 km) and the Mitare with 120 km.
The fishing potential of its waters is enormous and among the species that are extracted are shrimp, octopus, squid, mackerel, corocoro, mullet, horse mackerel, lebranche and dogfish.
The latter inhabits the coastal mangroves of Morrocoy, Cuare and the isthmus, along with the sea shearwater, herons, corocoras, gannets and the flamingo.
Among the invertebrates, the Hueque scorpion (Tityus falconensis) stands out, discovered in the caves of the Juan Crisostomo Falcon National Park and which is distributed in a great part of the Falconian territory; the giant scolopendra, which is the largest centipede in the world, and the blue tarantula of Paraguaná (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens) are also native.
In this environment, bats, savannah rabbits, common foxes, wild mice, iguanas and lizards stand out; and among the birds are the cardinal coriano and the paraulata llanera or chuchube (Mimus gilvus).
It is also the endemic site of the Hueque scorpion (Tityus falconensis), a species of native scorpion whose distribution is exclusively from the state of Falcon.
In the limestone formations of the sierra you can find the guácharo, as well as interesting birds such as the blacksmith's bell bird and the emerald-billed toucan, and reptiles such as the nibbling turtle, a species endemic to the mountains of the Sistema Coriano.
Early Cretaceous rocks cover the pre-existing sedimentary units in the South, in what is one of the thickest sections in South America.
To the east of Vela de Coro and Cumarebo, the foothills are supported by outcrops of the young Tertiary, also present to the north of Urumaco, where the stones are rough and darkened by iron oxide; while the plains concentrated in the lower part of the rivers are alluvial.
Due to the constant growth of urban areas, a decrease in rural life is observed, with the urban population reaching 67.3% of the total state population in 1990.
Other medium sized cities structure their respective areas of influence, highlighting Puerto Cumarebo (22 047 inhabitants), Dabajuro (15 269 inhabitants), Tucacas (12 970 inhabitants), Churuguara (10 800 inhabitants) and Mene de Mauroa (10 302 inhabitants).
Moreover, according to the last population census conducted by the National Institute of Statistics in 2011, 55.7% of the population is ethnically recognized as mestizo; 38.9% as Caucasian, concentrated mainly in the city of Punto Fijo; and 4.1% identified themselves as black.
The main economic activity in terms of employment is agriculture, with important crops such as coconut, onions, corn, tomatoes, patilla, melon, coffee, aloe and legumes.
The state of Falcon is the first producer of coconut and copra, goats and their derivatives; second in production of fish and vegetables such as onions, and paprika; third in production of bovine milk and melon.
The coconut alone has approximately 20,000 hectares cultivated, and there is availability for the expansion of surface area on the eastern coast of Falcon State.
Falcon State is one of the main producers of aloe vera in Venezuela, and in the coffee area has a farm of 3500 hectares, but with a provision of 12 700 hectares, distributed in the Sierra de Coro in the south of the federal entity.
In the Eastern Coast there are important plantations of coconut trees, which have developed an important industry of oil extraction and use of copra.
The annual production is 30,471 tons of fish and seafood, landed in the ports of Las Piedras, Carirubana, Puerto Cumarebo, Zazárida, Chichiriviche, and La Vela de Coro, highlighting the industrialization of crustaceans with the presence in the extensive coast of the state of shrimp farms, as in Boca de Ricoa and at various points of the Paraguaná peninsula.
In Falcón, there are some exploited oil fields in Mene de Mauroa, Media, Hombre Pintado and Tiguaje and natural gas fields in Cumarebo and other nearby areas.
However, the main activity of the oil industry is in the Paraguaná Refining Center, one of the largest in the world, made up of the Amuay Refining Complex and the Cardón Refinery, both with a capacity of 940,000 barrels of oil per day, which represents 75% of Venezuela's total refining capacity.
Falcón also has mineral deposits to generate basic inputs for industries such as ceramics, fertilizers, energy, chemicals, abrasives, metalworking, pharmaceuticals, pottery, and paint, among others.
It also has immense coal deposits in the western zone, with proven reserves for open-pit mining in the order of 20 million metric tons, and reserves estimated at 120 million metric tons, within a radius of action of 50,000 hectares.
Thanks to the dry and arid climate, there are five natural salt flats and some 220,000 hectares of land suitable for the construction of artificial salt flats spread throughout the Falconian territory.
Of all the salt mines, only the Las Cumaraguas salt mine is under industrial exploitation, the rest being exploited by hand.
Also thanks to its natural landscapes (like the Medanos de Coro and the National Parks Cueva de la Quebrada del Toro, Sierra de San Luis and Morrocoy) tourism is gaining importance in the economy of the State.
Large oil refineries such as the Paraguana Refinery Complex in the city of Punto Fijo are located on the southwestern shore of the Paraguaná Peninsula, and approximately two-thirds of Venezuela’s total oil production occurs in this area, much of which is exported via tanker ships that ship internationally through the port of Amuay.
The craftsmen of the towns that surround the city of Coro specialize in the manufacture of furniture with the wood of the cardon, the stick of Arch and the curarí.
In Paraguaná the clay is worked to build objects for current domestic use, applying the same techniques used by the Caquetíos Indians.
On the eastern coast the attraction is the basketwork made with bulrush, cocuiza and vines and the hammocks made with thread.
The typical Falconian food allows the enjoyment of a variety of flavors represented in its specialties, such as goat talkarí, celce coriano, goat milk cheese, custard, peeled arepa and goat milk candy.
At a national level, rice with coconut and rice pudding is one of the most popular sweets, especially during the Easter season.
Among these celebrations is the Baile de las Turas, which has its origin in an indigenous dance related to the hunting season and the harvesting of the corn crop.
The drum dances in the cities of Coro, La Vela and Puerto Cumarebo are very joyful and colorful, and the celebration of the Day of the Mad (December 28) in La Vela de Coro, with masked parades in the streets and public squares, reaches a display similar to that of the great carnivals of the world.
It organizes its administration and public powers through the Federal Constitution of Falcon State of 2004, issued by the Legislative Council.
It is composed of the Governor of the State of Falcon and a group of State Secretaries of his confidence who are freely appointed and removed by the regional government.
The first elected governor of Falcon was Aldo Cermeño of the Social Christian Party COPEI, who would govern in the period between 1989 and 1992.
Like the other 23 federal entities of Venezuela, the State maintains its own police force, which is supported and complemented by the National Police and the Venezuelan National Guard.
It is a unicameral and autonomous body, elected by the people through direct and secret vote every four years, and may be re-elected for two consecutive periods, under a system of proportional representation of the population of the state and its municipalities.
The cacique Chiparara managed to organize Carib and Otomac groups in the Llanos de Guárico to counter-attack the Spanish colonizing forces.4 After they were defeated, around 1653, the Carib and Otomac groups would retreat southward or lose cohesion and would be gradually assimilated.
Many of the settlers who settled in the area were Basque missionaries and encomenderos who founded Altagracia de Orituco on March 1, 1676.
Miguel de Urbés, a lieutenant of Joan Orpí, founded the city of Zaraza in 1645 with the name of San Miguel de la Nueva Tarragona del Batey.
Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland passed through the region in March 1800 on their way to the Orinoco and its tributaries.
During the time of Spanish rule, Guarico was part of the Province of Caracas, which belonged to the Captaincy General of Venezuela.
The military chief José Tomás Boves defeated Vicente Campo Elías in La Puerta, near San Juan de los Morros, on February 3, 1814.
A few months later, in June, the Spanish troops again under the command of Boves defeated the troops of Simón Bolívar and Santiago Mariño on the same battlefield.
After independence, Guárico became the scene of numerous battles in the civil wars that plagued the country in the 19th century.
Peasants and other poor people complained about social injustice and numerous groups criticized the political situation in which only a few elites held all the power.
In 1856 Guárico became part of the 21 provinces of Venezuela until 1864 when it was declared an independent state, and an integral part of the United States of Venezuela.
The battle itself did not give clear results, but the continuation of the guerrilla warfare after this episode led to the signing of a peace agreement on March 23, 1893 between the Federalists and the government of the caudillo Antonio Guzmán Blanco.
In 1879 the state became part of the Gran Estado Miranda with what is now Bolívar (present-day Miranda), Guzmán Blanco (present-day Aragua), Apure and Nueva Esparta.
On March 11, 1892, the caudillo Joaquín Crespo rose up against the president of that time, Raimundo Andueza Palacio, who had wanted to change the constitution at the beginning of 1892 in order to supposedly govern for two more years.
General Juan Vicente Gómez defeated near San Juan de los Morros the troops of General Luciano Mendoza, who was fighting on the side of the so-called Liberating Revolution against Cipriano Castro.
With 230 km², it is one of the largest irrigation reservoirs in Venezuela and has been contributing to the development of the country.
Guárico State is bounded on the north by Miranda, Aragua and Carabobo States, on the south by Bolívar and Apure, on the east by Anzoátegui State and on the west by Cojedes and Barinas States.
The mountainous part of Guárico includes the Fila de los Suspiros, bordering the state of Cojedes to the northwest, continues with the Fila de La Raya, also called La Escalera, until reaching the city of San Juan de los Morros, some of which can reach 2000 meters above sea level.
Other mountains to the east of the state include Cerro de las Minas, the Serranía de Guatopo strip on the sides of the Orituco River Valleys.
The rivers of the Unare Basin from Valle de la Pascua head towards the Caribbean Sea and include the main rivers: Unare, Quebrada Honda, Morichito, Ipire and Agua Amarilla.
The rest of the state has rivers that are tributaries of the Orinoco River, including the Apure River in its lower basin, Chirgua, Espino, Guárico, Macaira, Manapire, Memo, Tamanaco, Tiznados, Tucupido, Orituco and Zuata.
It is important to mention that because the last census was conducted in 2011, the population in the cities has changed significantly over the past few years.
It is currently estimated that the capital, San Juan de los Morros is the most populated city in the state of Guarico, with 160,248 inhabitants.
This activity is linked to the agro-industrial sector, both supported by the existence of 16 reservoirs and three risk systems (Guárico, Orituco, and Tiznados rivers).
And within the timber activity, the production of wood in rola is located in the seventh place of the national total.
In the Boyacá Field located in the south-central part of Guárico State there are 8 oil blocks and reserves estimated at 489 billion barrels.
In the Junín Field located in the Southeast of Guárico State and the Southwest of Anzoátegui State there are 10 blocks with reserves estimated at 557,000 million barrels.
They are located between the towns of Ortiz and San Francisco de Cara, 60 km from San Juan de Los Morros.
Its area is covered by savannahs and forests, rivers, lagoons and a rich flora of great color and beauty and a varied fauna.
It is located between the districts of Independencia, Lander and Acevedo in the state of Miranda and the district of Monagas in the state of Guarico.

The dam is built with cement, stone, and sand; its gates are constantly monitored by a control point, which is manually backed up if it does not work.
The western boundary of the monument is determined by the road that connects Altagracia de Orituco with San Francisco de Macaira.
The vegetation is mainly composed of semi-deciduous forests and semi-deciduous shrubs in the mountainous forest region of the Venezuelan coastal range.
The name and current boundaries of the province are the result of the political organization defined in the Ley de División Político Territorial (Political Territorial Division Law) of April 28, 1856.
Built in 1976, it supplies approximately 300 liters per second to San Juan de los Morros and is also a recreational park with activities planned and directed by groups based on government programs.

It can be reelected for two consecutive periods, under a system of proportional representation of the population of the state and its municipalities.
The fern is a cryptogamic plant with rough, deeply divided and usually altered leaves, which is distributed all over the world.
During the colony and a large part of the independence period, the current territory of Lara belonged to the province of Caracas.
In 1832, after the disintegration of the Great Colombia, the region was disintegrated; it was then constituted in the Province of Barquisimeto, which included the cantons of Quíbor, El Tocuyo, Carora and Barquisimeto; besides others that conform today the state of Yaracuy.
In 1856, through the new law of territorial division, San Felipe and Yaritagua joined Nirgua to form the Province of Yaracuy.
It is in these towns, mainly in El Tocuyo and Barquisimeto, where the first lights of Venezuelan Independence were documented, and from which the construction of Venezuela was undertaken with the towns, cities and roads that unite the great part of this territory.
In 1881, the creation of the Great State of the North of the West was agreed upon, to which the areas of Lara and Yaracuy were added.
In August of that same year, the state was given the name Lara, in honor of the patriot General Jacinto Lara.
In 1899, the Congress established the autonomy of the 20 states, as contemplated in the 1864 constitution, a division that was confirmed in 1909, through a constitutional reform, which has been maintained until today.
In 1899, the territory corresponding to the current municipalities Silva and Monseñor Iturriza of the state of Falcon were integrated into the latter state in exchange for what today is the municipality Urdaneta.
When the Europeans arrived in Venezuela, the region that is now Lara was inhabited by various ethnic groups such as the gayones, ayomanes and coyones.
These peoples spoke, according to what anthropologists have been able to reconstruct from Spanish sources, languages of the Jirajarana linguistic family.6 The valleys of Quíbor, Barquisimeto and El Tocuyo had a relatively high population density and the peoples of the region practiced agriculture.
From 1529 to the 1940s the German conquerors carried out massacres of entire villages and tried to enslave the remaining indigenous people.
Several of the first permanent populations of Europeans settled here because of the fertility of the region and the availability of indigenous labour.
The Welser administration was in permanent conflict with the interests of the Spaniards, who accused them of failing to carry out the task of colonization, among other things.
In 1545, Juan de Carvajal, who lived in Coro, went with several families of colonists to the area of El Tocuyo and there he began to distribute the natives according to the encomienda system.
El Tocuyo became one of the most important axes of the Venezuelan economy and also the center of operations of the Spanish conquest in the territory.
The region of El Tocuyo and Barquisimeto had convents that offered education to the inhabitants at a higher level than in other regions of Venezuela.
In 1832, after the disintegration of Gran Colombia, the region was disbanded; it was then constituted in the Province of Barquisimeto, which included the cantons of Quíbor, El Tocuyo, Carora and Barquisimeto; in addition to others that today make up the state of Yaracuy.
In 1856, through the new law of territorial division, San Felipe and Yaritagua joined Nirgua to form the Province of Yaracuy.
In 1881, it was agreed to create the Great State of the North of the West, to which the areas of Lara and Yaracuy were added.
In August of that same year the name of Lara State was assigned in honor of the patriot General Jacinto Lara.
In 1899,12 the Congress established the autonomy of the 20 states, as contemplated in the 1864 constitution, a division that was confirmed in 1909, through a constitutional reform, which has been maintained until today.
Until 1899 this state had access to the sea with the populations of Tucacas and Chichiriviche, currently belonging to the state of Falcon.
It is bordered on the north by Falcon State; on the south by Portuguesa and Trujillo States; on the east by Yaracuy State and on the west by Zulia State.
This state has 19,800 square kilometers (19,800 square miles) which represents 2.15% of the national territory, a territory almost equivalent to the size of Israel.
The waters of the state's rivers flow from three different sources: the Caribbean, the Atlantic through the Orinoco River and Lake Maracaibo.
The relief is not very high but is very varied, so we can find from cloud forests of pleasant climate to some of the hottest and driest areas of the Venezuelan geography.
Among the landscapes of moderate height, the pressures of Carora, Barquisimeto and Yaracuy stand out, while the Sierra de Aroa, the Nirgua Massif and the Andean buttress present more broken reliefs.
The Barquisimeto high plateau is a privileged place for human settlement, commerce and communications, while the valley of the turbid river allows for intense agricultural use, in contrast to the aridity of the surrounding xerophytic vegetation.
It is integrated by the last foothills of the Venezuelan Andes System, located in the south and southwest of the state respectively.
It is as varied as its relief and climate, although in almost all the territory xerophilous vegetation predominates, represented by cujíes, tunas, espinares and cardonales.
To the west, in the Carora depression, the forest community is poor with a predominance of sparse and xerophytic thorn trees.
The cujíes and cardones dominate the central and northern areas, while towards the south and in the mountainous areas the vegetation cover goes from the bushes to the semi-humid forests.
It presents from mountain areas with geological components of the secondary and tertiary era to extensive plains formed by large alluvial contributions of the Quaternary era, through valley landscapes, formed by sediments of Quaternary origin.
The dry atmosphere is typical, since evaporation exceeds precipitation, reaching until 650 mm of annual average, with rain falling at different times according to geographycal location..
The average annual temperature fluctuates between 19 °C (66,2 °F) and 29 °C (84,2 °F), with an average of 24 °C (75,2 °F) in the capital, Barquisimeto.
The climate tends to vary between cold moor (in mountainous areas) and semi-arid tropical dry climate (specific in the area of the Lara´s Depression, where the city of Carora and surrounding populations are located).
In general, the climate tends to vary between cold moorland (in the mountainous areas) and dry semi-arid tropical climate (mainly in the area of the Larense Depression where the city of Carora and surrounding towns are located).
The tropical steppe climate (semi-arid) is located specifically towards the northern part of the states of Zulia and Falcón, the Lara-Falcón depression, the central coastal zone, the coastal areas of the Unare depression and part of the state of Sucre, towards the Gulf of Cariaco, and a large part of the island of Margarita.
About 60% of the land in the west of Lara State is mountainous and presents soils of slow permeability, fine texture, reddish color and commonly acid reaction.
To the southeast of Carora the soils are stony, without a well developed profile, variable permeability, acid reaction, fast runoff and strong erosion.
In the area corresponding to the beaches the low permeability, the flooding, the predominant clayey texture and the appreciable content of salts limit their use.
Among the most important industries in the state of Lara are the metalworking (Turbio´s steel industry, SIDETUR; food processing, clothing apparel, textile printing and processing (based sisal fiber) sector.
The most manufacturing are in the small and medium industry because, except for its sugar mills, Almost all its industrial park consists of companies of less than two hundred workers.
More than 50% of the population is concentrated in the capital (Barquisimeto) where the main commercial, financial and industrial activities are located.
Despite the dynamism that has reached, places the entity as one of the most important recipients of migratory flows in the country, which has also reached urban centers such as: Carora, Quibor, El Tocuyo, Cubiro, Cabudare and Duaca; which base the economy in agricultural activities.
Lara, located in the commercial corridors that link the West, the Andes, the center and the east of the country, is an important receiver and distributor of foodstuffs to other regions inside and outside Venezuela (export) through the wholesale market that commercializes a third of the fresh food consumed in the country, Mercabar.
Considered since 1950 to be one of the cities least dependent on oil, agriculture and trade are the main economic activities in the region that contributes: 22% of coffee, 26% of sugar cane, 90% of pineapple, 31% of grapes, 54% of onions, 12% of tomatoes, 54% of paprika, 29% of cabbage, 100% of sisal and 22% of potatoes.
However, today only around 25 thousand hectares are irrigated due to the lack of water, which could change radically with the completion of the Yacambú hydraulic project and the hydraulic works for the Urdaneta and Torres municipalities, infrastructures that would provide around 60 hectares of arable land in the central north of the state.
From the industrial point of view, in the state of Lara this type of activity is concentrated in the city of Barquisimeto, which has industrial zones of important magnitude and production capacity.
Important administrative and public service activities are concentrated in the state metropolis of Barquisimeto, together with all kinds of commerce, banking and financial entities, due to its strategic location on the road network in the West of the country, and with its railway connection to Puerto Cabello and Acarigua.
In addition, there are metal-mechanic, agro-industrial and textile industrial establishments, both in the city and in its immediate surroundings, such as cement plants, sugar mills, milk processing plants and others.
Of special relevance are the agricultural activities, especially the cultivation of sugar cane in the valleys of the rivers Tocuyo, Turbio and various regions; of specialized horticulture of onions, peppers and tomatoes in Quibor; of viticulture in Carora and El Tocuyo; of sisal and coconut crops, along with pineapple, in the dry areas.
Important are the cattle activities, as much of the modern milk cattle ranch, like of the traditional cattle ranch of goats.
Various types of tourism are taking on increasing significance, with emphasis on the expansion of the rich Larense craftsmanship in places like Guadalupe and Tintorero.
The state has metallic and non-metallic minerals, especially red and white clays, silica sands, gravels, iron, mercury, pyrrhophyllites, and various types of limestone.
The rivers, reservoirs and thermal water sources such as the dams of Dos Cerritos, Yacambú, Atarigua, Arenales, and the San Miguel Volcano provide hydraulic and geothermal potential.
Apart from the churches, the monument with the mantle of Mary stands out, which was built to honor the Virgin Mary in her dedication to the Divina Pastora.
These quarters will be separated by a red bar, which will contain two cannons, and in the center, a fortress on a silver field.
At the top, the Star of the West will shine and the whole shield will be encircled by a laurel wreath with a silver band.
The festivity has its origins in the Andes Larenses (Sanare-El Tocuyo) and is celebrated every June 13th; but a Tamunangue can be held at any time of the year.
She is the spiritual patron of the city and is one of the Marian invocations with many followers in the region.
Every January 14th a multitudinous procession is held in which this image is carried from Santa Rosa to the Cathedral of Barquisimeto.
More than two and a half million people have been counted,29 which would make it the second most important Marian procession in the world.
In the state of Lara, different and varied cultural manifestations of folklore are mixed, which clearly enrich the society of the central-western part of the country.
In football highlights the Deportivo Lara based in the Metropolitan Stadium one of the most modern sports facilities in this region of the country, in baseball you can mention the Cardinals of Lara based in the historic Antonio Herrera Gutierrez Stadium, while in Basketball the most important team is Guaros de Lara based in the Domo Bolivariano.
As a state it is autonomous and equal in political terms to its peers, it organizes its administration and public powers through a Constitution of the Lara State, dictated by the Legislative Council.
Like the other 23 federal entities of Venezuela, the State maintains its own police force, which is supported and complemented by the National Police and the Venezuelan National Guard.
It is composed by the Governor of Lara State and a group of State Secretaries of his confidence who are officials of free appointment and removal.
The Governor is elected by the people through direct, universal and secret vote for a period of four years and with the possibility of continuous re-election for new periods, being in charge of the state administration.
The Governor must render an annual account of his actions before the regional parliament called the Legislative Council of Lara State.
The state legislature is the responsibility of the Legislative Council of Lara State, a unicameral parliament elected by the people through direct, universal and secret vote every four years.
The legislature can be reelected for consecutive periods, under a system of proportional representation of the population of the state and its municipalities.

1, composed in 1936–37), most notably in the last movement, which uses a poem by Alexander Pushkin (find text and a translation here) that deals with the matter of rebirth.
With the Fifth Symphony, Shostakovich gained an unprecedented triumph, with the music appealing equally—and remarkably—to both the public and official critics, though the overwhelming public response to the work initially aroused suspicions among certain officials.
The then-head of the Leningrad Philharmonic, Mikhail Chulaki, recalls that certain authorities bristled at Mravinsky's gesture of lifting the score above his head to the cheering audience, and a subsequent performance was attended by two plainly hostile officials, V.N.
The composer himself seemed to second this view long after the fact, in a conversation with author Chinghiz Aitmatov in the late 1960s.
It also recalled a genre of Russian symphonic works written in memory of the dead, including pieces by Glazunov, Steinberg, Rimsky-Korsakov and Stravinsky.
Typical of these works is the use of the tremolo in the strings as a reference to the hallowed ambience of the requiem.
More tellingly, he organized each movement along clear lines, having concluded that a symphony cannot be a viable work without firm architecture.
It has been said that, in the Fifth Symphony, the best qualities of Shostakovich's music, such as meditation, humor and grandeur, blend in perfect balance and self-fulfillment.
While most performances and recordings of the symphony have ended with a gradual acceleration of the coda, especially Leonard Bernstein's October 1959 Columbia Records recording with the New York Philharmonic (following a performance in Moscow in the presence of the composer), more recent renditions have reflected a different interpretation (though not clearly provable) of Shostakovich's intention.
Shostakovich's friend and colleague Mstislav Rostropovich conducted the closing minutes in a much slower, subdued manner, never accelerating; he did this in a performance in Russia with the National Symphony Orchestra and in their commercial Teldec recording.
Located in the Western Andean Region, Mérida State covers a total surface area of , making it the fifteenth-largest in Venezuela.
According to recent studies in archaeology, history and anthropology, The Andean region seems to have been inhabited since very remote times (perhaps several thousand years) by unknown groups that have left very few traces.
Then, around our era, another ethnic group of great cultural importance arrives in the region, perhaps of Chibcha origin, since they share with these their mythology, funeral and settlement patterns, housing construction, agricultural techniques, etc.
When the Spanish arrive in the Andean Cordillera it will be with this second group you will come in contact with.
Another later and significant influence for the Andean pre-Hispanic culture are the Arawak groups, belonging to the most important ethnic groups of South America and the Caribbean, which migrated to the Venezuelan Andes during the 9th century AD.
Thanks to this, the current toponymy of the Venezuelan Andes has preserved the names of the many indigenous groups that inhabited this region: Chama, Mocotíes, Mucuchíes, Mucutuy, Aricagua, etc.
In 1558 Juan Rodríguez Suárez founded the city of Mérida, in the name of the Corregimiento de Tunja, in honor of his native city of Mérida in Spain.
In December 1607 Merida was separated from the Corregimiento de Tunja and united with the government of La Grita forming the corregimiento de Merida y La Grita.
By 1677 the Pirate Michel de Grandmont sacked Trujillo, this attack led Governor Jorge de Madureira to change the capital of the province to the city of Maracaibo in 1678, to organize a more effective defense of the territory.
The territory of the province of Merida depended on the Viceroyalty of New Granada until 1777, when the Captaincy General of Venezuela was created.
In 1811 the province of Merida decided to rebel against Spain and join the process of Venezuelan Independence, along with seven other provinces to form the First Republic of Venezuela.
The following year during the Admirable Campaign, Simón Bolívar liberates Mérida from the Realists, entering through La Grita (then the province of Mérida) in May 1813.
With the victory of Boyacá on August 7, only the provinces of Maracaibo and Coro remained realistic and Merida was incorporated into the Third Republic of Venezuela.
In 1821 Merida was incorporated into Gran Colombia as part of the Department of Zulia, but in 1830 when Venezuela separated from Gran Colombia, the Department of Zulia was renamed the Province of Maracaibo.
In 1835 the division of the province was established in: Canton Mérida, Canton Mucuchíes, Canton Ejido, Canton Bailadores, Canton La Grita, Canton San Cristóbal and Canton San Antonio del Táchira and in 1842 the governor of the province Gabriel Picón inaugurates the first monument to Bolívar in the world known as La Columna in Milla Park.
Around 1856 the cantons of La Grita, San Crsitóbal and San Antonio del Táchira separate to form the Province of Táchira.
At the beginning of the century in 1912, after the closure of the Universidad Central de Venezuela by the government of Juan Vicente Gómez, the city of Mérida was left as the only one in the country with access to higher education, a situation that would last until 1922 when the UCV was reopened.
The state of Merida is located in the west of Venezuela, in the so-called Andean region, forming part of the Andes mountain range of the South American continent; of the three states (Merida, Tachira and Trujillo) that are located in this region.
The territory of the state is located in the highest part of Venezuela, therefore, makes Merida the highest state of Venezuela, with altitudes above 4,000 m.a.s.l., reaching its highest point in Pico Bolivar at about 4,970 m.a.s.l.
Mérida is one of the states with the greatest geographical diversity, presenting different landscapes throughout its territory, with high areas above 4,000 m.a.s.l., medium areas with elevations around 900 and 1,600 m.a.s.l.
The climate is temperate but in the relatively small area of Mérida state, there are usually several dramatic climatic changes that occur daily.
The climate in Mérida city has an average high temperatures between 24 °C and 25 °C, and low temperatures between 14 °C and 16 °C.
The vegetation is exuberant and there are many lakes and rivers, a great number of which are well stocked with trout, one of the delicacies of Mérida.
The hydrography of the State of Merida is very varied, because throughout its geography we can find rivers, streams, creeks, natural lakes and glaciers, Merida even has jurisdiction over a small portion of Lake Maracaibo, where we located the beaches Palmarito in the municipality of Tulio Febres Cordero in the south of the lake.
The rivers of the State of Merida are mountain rivers, with abundant flow and steep slopes and form a few deep valleys, longitudinally embedded in the relief.
The main ones are the Motatán in its upper basin and the Chama with its tributaries the Mocotíes and the Mucujún, which belong to the Maracaibo Lake basin, while the Santo Domingo, Caparo and Mucuchachí belong to the Orinoco basin through the Apure River.
The main economic activities are agriculture, tourism, livestock, agribusiness, trout farming, service activities associated with the University of the Andes and the regional and national government.
An important factor in the economy is a wide range of handcrafted articles, such as: wool fabrics in the manufacture of beautiful blankets, wood carvings of original sculptures, clay articles, typical sweets, wines, punches and handcrafted liquors made with fruits grown in the region.
The cable car system, being the highest and longest in the world, attracts thousands of people every year who venture to climb to the vicinity of Pico Bolivar.
In addition, Merida is rich in natural attractions, you only need to climb the trans-Andean highway to enjoy the beauty of the moor.
There are mountain hotels with cabin service, equipped with playgrounds, riding horses, artificial lakes for fishing and many other services that satisfy the most demanding tourists.
The State of Merida has a great amount of natural tourist attractions, which has characterized it as a tourist power of Venezuela.
Its immense geographic diversity due to its transition between the Andes Region and the South Region of the Lake of Maracaibo gives it different climates and varied temperatures, propitious for each of the vacation tastes offering Mountain and Beach places in the same state.
The state of Merida is an entity with an important percentage of its population within the classrooms, its capital for example has between 20 and 30% of the population doing university studies and a literacy rate of 97%.
It has one of the most traditional universities in the country, and the second oldest one: the University of Los Andes.
In addition, different institutions of higher education are located in Merida, such as universities, university centers, polytechnic institutes, and university colleges, among others.
These depend mostly on the universities or the State within the framework of the Symphonic Orchestra System, and teach how to play multiple musical instruments, as well as instruct in lyrical interpretation and voice development.
Another house of studies of great importance is the Universidad Politécnica Territorial de Mérida Kléber Ramírez, formerly known as the Instituto Universitario Tecnológico de Ejido (IUTE), has its headquarters in the city of Ejido, was founded on November 25, 1981 by the national executive and raised to the rank of National Experimental University, changing its name to the current one on February 14, 2012.
The other two universities that operate in the city are of more recent creation, being the UNA that offers distance learning undergraduate degrees and the UNEFA, a military university that operates in the city since 2006 and also offers undergraduate degrees related to the engineering field.
In addition, the ULA has the largest amount of study and research material in digital form in the whole country, available to the public, as well as several newspaper libraries, among which the newspaper library of the faculty of the same name with one of the largest collections in Latin America stands out.
In addition to the university libraries, the city is home to the Bolivarian Library, which also serves as an exhibition gallery, a branch of the National Library of Venezuela, and the Simón Bolívar Central Public Library, which depends on the regional government.
Other public and private institutions such as schools, high schools, churches and language institutes have smaller libraries often for the exclusive use of their members.
A final metropolitan library was to be added to the list in 2006, however, the headquarters that would be used for it was transferred to UNEFA and has not yet been granted new space.
The State of Merida is a scientific and technological entity par excellence, an activity that derives largely from the presence of multiple houses of higher education, as well as the contribution of public institutions such as IVIC and Fundacite, which have generated significant progress through research, development of new technologies and scientific work.
The Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC) located in the State of Merida (IVIC-Merida) includes the Multidisciplinary Center for Science (CMC).
The latter is a few kilometers from Jají, precisely in the community Loma de Los Guamos, in the parish of Jají.
The Laboratory of Sensory Ecology (LabEcoSen) has been operating there since 2008, and since May 2013 the Unit of Community Articulation (UniArco).
These teams bring together multidisciplinary personnel who focus their efforts on various fundamental and applied themes related to multiple disciplines such as agro-ecology, health, environment, agriculture and politics, without losing sight of the social relevance of the research topics.
The health system in the state of Merida is divided into six regions or health districts, which are responsible for planning prevention and promotion activities, as well as human resources management, economic resource management, and health center coordination.
In addition to these roads it is important to note that the 2 main localities of the state as the cities of Merida (State Capital) and El Vigia (Economic Capital) are connected by the Rafael Caldera Highway, in a stretch of 60 km at an average speed of 100 km / h.
Among the most outstanding typical desserts are: the sweet polished (based on milk and covered with sugar), alfajores, guava sandwiches, milky candy and strawberries with cream, as well as drinks such as the Andean girl, the calentaíto, mead, pineapple guarapo, blackberry wine and panela (paper).
It is worth mentioning that the southern gastronomy is internationally recognized, so many cooking contests and international fairs are held around the southern state.
In the Páramo and the southern villages next to the Mocotíes area, the tradition and folklore of the mountains is expressed with native instruments; the so-called Peasant Music made up of genres such as waltz and string meringue are typical of the region.
One more expression of the popular music of this land, originates in the Northern Towns or Pan-American Zone, whose afro-descendant roots give life to the Black music or percussion, a range of genres such as La Murga, the Chimbangle, the Drums, among others... each one inspired by legends, paraphrases or simply improvisation.
Llanera music such as the Pasaje and Joropo that tell popular stories and the long days of work are not absent in Merida since due to the characteristics of the Panamerican Zone the popular genre of Venezuela is also felt; but not only in this zone since in the fields of the Mocotíes the Llanero feeling resonates with strength.
The sounds of the aboriginal cultures move like the wind around the whole state, being its epicenter the towns of San Juan, Chiguará and Lagunillas where the ethnic roots of the Meridians still prevail as if time never passed.
The most danceable genres typical of Caribbean cultures such as Salsa, Merengue, Colombian Cumbia, percussions and wind sounds are rooted in lands like Tovar, El Vigía, Ejido, Timotes, Zea and Merida; there the best orchestras of the Region and Venezuela have been formed and grown.
The Venezuelan Andes are lands of native roots and acquired as the Fiesta Brava, this type of party known as the most gallant and heroic of the existing ones felt by a sector of the world population but known as the most cruel and inhumane by another sector more dissident and humanist.
Bullfighting is a cultural expression of the mother country Spain, has had a strong follow up in the cities of the heights as those belonging to the States Merida and Tachira.
The festival of the bull and the bullfighter has generated strong changes in the southern Indo-Caribbean since the festivities create in the citizens an emotion of anxiety and waiting for them to take place.
Although Merida is not the cradle of bullfighting in Venezuela if it is the land where this art is best cooked, there are some of the best squares and some of the best schools giving rise to excellent shows and great bullfighters.
Mérida is the birthplace of the oldest Venezuelan soccer team, Estudiantes de Mérida F.C., in addition to other teams such as Union Atlético El Vigía Fútbol Club, ULA F.C., among others.
In the state there are rugby teams like the Caballeros de Merida Rugby Club, Merida Rugby Club, Alacranes Rugby Club and Pucara El Vigia Rugby Club; all of them participating in the Venezuelan Rugby Club Championship.
It organizes its administration and public powers through the Constitution of the State of Merida, sanctioned by the Legislative Council on November 7, 1995 and promulgated by the State Governor on November 16 of the same year.
Like the other 23 federal entities of Venezuela, the State maintains its own police force, which is supported and complemented by the National Police and the Venezuelan National Guard.
It is composed of the Governor of the State of Merida and a group of State Secretaries of his confidence who are freely appointed and removed officials and assist him in the management of the state government.
The Governor is elected by the people through direct and secret vote for a period of four years and with the possibility of re-election for other periods, being in charge of the state administration.
Until 1989 the governors were appointed directly from the National Executive, it is only since then that they are directly elected in open elections.
The current governor is Ramón Guevara of the Acción Democrática party elected in the 2017 Regional Elections of Venezuela with 50.82% of the votes.
The state legislature is the responsibility of the Legislative Council of the State of Merida, a unicameral parliament, elected by the people through direct and secret vote every four years, and may be re-elected for two consecutive periods, under a system of proportional representation of the population of the state and its municipalities.
It also has the greatest Human Development Index in Venezuela, according to the Venezuelan National Institute of Statistics (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica, Caracas).
When the Spanish conquistadors arrived, these tribes were brave enough to fight for their territory, commanded by caciques like Guaicaipuro and Yare.
Guaicaipuro was a legendary cacique of the Teques and Caracas Indians who resisted the conquistador Diego de Losada, while cacique Yare was the cumanagoto, quiriquire, charagoto and arauco chief who killed Captain Mendoza, who had murdered the Indian Tamanaco.
Once all the tribes were subdued, the Spaniards settled completely on these lands, founding the city of Caracas, and later different towns in the interior of the state of Miranda.
At the end of the 16th century and beginning of the 17th century the highlands were used to cultivate, among other products, wheat destined largely for export to Cartagena de Indias and the Caribbean islands.
In addition, all commercial activities were monopolized by the Royal Guipuzcoa Company, which generated the first discontents and uprisings against the crown.
From the beginning of the 17th century, slave labour quickly replaced the Indian labour force, concentrating on the Windward region, which was the largest cocoa producer.
It was in this region that the first free blacks rose up against their masters, but were later stifled by Spanish troops.
After the dissolution of Gran Colombia, Venezuela still used the provinces as a political-territorial organization, which had been used for a long time.
Between 1832 and 1855 the use of the province persisted due to the confusion generated by the existence of a state as a political division of the country.
The division by states did not appear in Venezuela in a concrete way until 1864, when about twenty states were founded which, in the following governments, would be reduced to nine, among these, the founded state of Guzmán Blanco, which by 1873 only covered the region of Aragua.
In 1881, the State of Guzmán Blanco expanded its territory to include the region of Miranda, among other nearby regions that were included as part of Guárico.
In 1889, the territory of the Guzmán Blanco State was again modified by the Constitution, and its size was reduced by excluding several regions of the country such as the region of Aragua, but renaming the State as Edo Miranda.
In 1900, by decree of General Cipriano Castro, the state of Caracas was included in Miranda and Caracas was renamed Miranda State with the provisional capital in Santa Lucia.
Then in 1901 the political-territorial space is modified again and the capital of the state becomes Petare, and in 1904 it is changed to Ocumare del Tuy.
In 1989, after the decentralization carried out by President Carlos Andrés Perez, Arnaldo Arocha was elected the first governor by popular vote.
It borders on the north with the Federal District, on the south with the states of Guarico and Aragua, on the east with the Caribbean Sea and on the west with Aragua.
The Guaire River, which runs through the city of Caracas, divides the sector into two strips that are differentiated by their decline: the Valles del Tuy and La Depresión de Barlovento.
The availability of water resources in the state is really precarious, as the state is located in the largest urban conglomerate in the country.
The volume of available water is committed to supply almost the entire metropolitan district of Caracas, as well as the entire territory of Mirandina, which is poorly supplied by the reservoirs of La Mariposa, Lagartijo, La Pereza, Ocumarito, Agua Fría, Taguaza, El Guapo and Quebrada Seca.
Many of the towns in the state are not frequently supplied with drinking water due to the high consumption of water resources.
The hydrography of Miranda State is characterized by the short course and low flow of its rivers, with the exception of Tuy.
This characteristic, combined with the settlement of the largest mass of population in the country, gives its rivers great significance as sources of water for urban consumption.
The Tuy River, with a length of 250 km, rises at an altitude of 2 100 m, on the southern flank of the Litoral mountain range, flows eastwards through the Abra de Tácata to the Tuy and Barlovento valleys, and flows into the Caribbean Sea through the Paparo mouth.
The El Jarillo River and the Aguas Frías and La Negra streams, tributaries of the Tuy on the left bank, have been dammed, near the Teques, in the Agua Fría reservoir, while the Ocumare, was dammed near Ocumare del Tuy, in the Ocumarito reservoir.
The climate of Miranda State is very hot in the low areas with temperatures ranging from 20 ℃ to 42 ℃ with very high humidity in the coastal region of Barlovento.
In the dry season (December-March), temperatures vary between 10 ℃ and 23 ℃, in the beginning of the wet season (April, May) high temperatures can be registered up to 33 ℃, the rest of the year it varies between 16 ℃ and 25 ℃.
The state of Miranda has soils with a high agricultural vocation that have been used since colonial times for the cultivation of cocoa, fruits, vegetables, cereals and other subsistence crops.
However, the pressure of urban and industrial activities, especially the settlement of high population concentrations, has meant a loss of very considerable agricultural areas in the Tuy Valleys, in the Guarenas and Guatire area, and in the Barlovento region.
In mountainous areas, rivers and streams, it is common to see mammals such as the raccoon (Didelphis marsupialis) and the spiny rat (Proechimys sp.).
), the squirrel (Sciurus granatensis), the mountain buckthorn (Dasypus novemcinctus), the porcupine (Coendou prehensilis), the picure (Dasyprocta leporina), the sloth (Bradypus tridactylus) very common in all areas of the municipality, the rabbit (Sylvilagus brasiliensis), and the one that has almost disappeared from the municipal area, the matacan deer (Mazama americana) that was common in the area of Turgua [citation required].
In addition, at night it is common to observe bats, among which the list bat (Saccopteryx bilineata), common fruit bat (Artibeus jamaicensis), common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus), and house bat (Molossus molossus) stand out.
In the area of Los Carraos and Zuloaga caves, the insectivorous bat species Natalus tumidirostris, Myotis keaysi and the genus Tadarida (Tadarida aurispinosa) have been identified.
The other three depend on the National Power as the Judicial (Miranda State Judicial District), Electoral (Miranda State Electoral Office) and Citizen.
Its authorities are elected by the Mirandina people in a universal, direct and secret way, sending 13 deputies to the National Assembly of Venezuela.
The economic development of the state is based on the excellence of its soils, which has allowed the boom in agriculture.
The region of the valleys of Tuy is characterized by the production of cocoa, sugar cane, and corn, among other crops.
Barlovento also has great fertility of its lands, standing out the cultivation of cocoa and a great variety of fruits and vegetables.
Among other economic activities is the industrial one, standing out the manufacturing one, which conforms together with the one of the Federal District the first urban manufacturing set of the country.
During the last two decades the tourist activity has grown with the installation of a great hotel infrastructure in the coast of Barlovento.
Cereals are grown in the fertile valleys of Tuy, while the microclimates are used for horticultural and fruit activities whose products are processed in the agro-industries.
The industrialization process had an important economic impact, favored by its proximity to the city of Caracas, mainly in the cities of Petare, Guarenas and Guatire and in the valley of Tuy, where manufacturing centers of the metal-mechanical, chemical and food sectors were established.
The state is well known for its green areas (including several national parks, haciendas and protected areas), for its highly urbanized cities that coexist with rural towns, for the coasts of the Caribbean Sea, a safe stop during vacation seasons, the Devils of Yare and the Tacarigua Lagoon; just to mention some of the tourist attractions of the region that is visited annually by thousands of seasonal visitors.
It also highlights its architecture ranging from modern Chacao to the colonial architecture of many villages, highlighting in that aspect the many museums, cathedrals and historic churches it has.
Central Ezequiel Zamora Railway System (Caracas - Cúa Line):8 has 4 stations (Caracas, Charallave Norte, Charallave Sur, Cúa) and has a length of 41.4 km².
The tradition of the Palmeros de Chacao dates back to the Venezuelan colonial period in 1770, when the parish priest José Antonio Mohedano decided, in the form of a promise, to ask God for mercy due to an epidemic of yellow fever that existed in Caracas at the time.
Coming from the haciendas near El Avila National Park, Mohedano sent a group of workers to bring down leaves from the Royal Palm to commemorate Jesus' entry into Jerusalem.
Nowadays, the Palmeros go up every Friday of the Council (the Friday before Palm Sunday) and come down the following Saturday with the palm leaves that will be blessed during the Sunday celebration.
Once blessed, the palms are distributed among the believers, who braid, crush and transform them into crosses that they keep in their homes as a sign of faith.
Its origin dates back to the 18th century, being this the oldest brotherhood in the American continent and the largest in the world.
Every Thursday of Corpus Christi (9 Thursdays after Holy Thursday) there is a ritual dance of the so-called dancing devils, where they worship the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar and celebrate the triumph of good over evil.
It commemorates the image of Saint John the Baptist, with a series of music and dance rituals that take place from midnight on June 23rd to the evening of June 25th each year.
San Juan is one of the festivities that gathers more devotees throughout the country, being the manifestation of Curiepe one of the best known in the nation.
It is a popular and religious festivity that is celebrated every June 29 in the cities of Guatire and Guarenas in the State of Miranda, Venezuela.
It consists of some parranderos, dressed in levita and pumpá (one of them carries the image of the saint, another carries a yellow and red flag) and accompanied by Cuatro and Maracas.
Religious image that is kept in the parish temple of the city of Guatire, Miranda state, Venezuela and that constitutes since the early seventeenth century the religious patron of that city.
It is taken out in procession every year on May 3, the Day of the May Cross at the Catholic Santoral.
Several channels are based in this entity, such as: Mira Tv, Telemir, Venezolana de Televisión (the main television channel of the Venezuelan state), Televen, La Tele, Canal i, and Telesur (the main international news channel based in Venezuela).
There are several radio stations, and you can also get the signal from other radio stations in Aragua and Guarico state.
Among the newspapers published in the area are the daily Avance de Los Teques, La Voz de Guarenas and La Región, which covers the Alto Mirandinos, the metropolitan area, Guarenas and Guatire, also in the Valles del Tuy circulates the daily Noticias del Tuy.
The state of Miranda (as a federal entity) has its own charter, the Constitution of the State of Miranda, which is the basis of the state's legal system and was approved in 2006.
The executive branch is composed of a governor and a council of secretaries who assist him in the management of government and are freely appointed and removable officials.
The governor is elected by the people by direct and secret vote for a period of four years with the possibility of re-election for new periods, being in charge of the state administration.
The Legislative Power is represented by the unicameral Legislative Council of the State of Miranda, elected by the people through a direct and secret vote every four years.
They can be re-elected for new consecutive periods, under a system of proportional representation of the population of the state and its municipalities.
The PSUV currently has 15 legislators and since the 2012 regional elections the PSUV has a majority of 8 legislators against 7 from the Democratic Unity Table.
Miranda State has its own autonomous police force based on Article 164 of the 1999 Venezuelan Constitution, which is known as Polimiranda (Miranda State Police), created in 1996 as the Autonomous Police Institute of Miranda State.
Monagas State is surrounded by Sucre State in the north, Anzoátegui State in the west and south, Bolívar State in the south, Delta Amacuro State in the south and east and the Paria Gulf in the northeast.
The state is named after the general and president of Venezuela José Tadeo Monagas, native from this state, and his brother and fellow president José Gregorio Monagas, native from the neighbor Anzoátegui State.
It dates back to the settlement of the territory by aborigines of different ethnicities hundreds of years ago, among which we can mention the Waraos and Kariña ethnicities, where they were accentuated mainly in the Orinoco Delta and the Chaima Indians in the north of the State.
The first aborigines to make a presence in the northern part of the region were the Chaima Indians, belonging to the Capaya tribe.
The Capuchin missionary Fray Gerónimo de Muro, with the help of the Carib, Cuaca and Chaima Indians, founded the town of San Antonio de Maturín, which is now San Antonio de Capayacuar, on August 7, 1713.
Although the settlement of the territory was slow, archaeological excavations and commentaries by the chroniclers of the Indies point to the existence of a well-developed village in Barrancas in the year 1530, when the Conqueror Diego de Ordás passed through the area in search of El Dorado.
Also in the 16th century missionaries arrived in the highlands and slowly the Christianisation and re-education of the Indians spread to the south; they thus adapted to a more sedentary life.
In the site where Barrancas is located today, archaeological objects and utensils have been found that belonged to the so-called Barrancoid and Saladoid cultures, the oldest of which have been dated 1000 years before the Christian era.
The archaeological evidence that has been found (and that is still being found) has allowed to establish that Barrancas has been uninterruptedly inhabited at least since the 11th century of our era, which makes it the oldest town in Venezuela and one of the oldest in the American continent.
Diego de Ordaz, a Spanish explorer obsessed with finding the legendary site of El Dorado, arrived in the village in August 1531 after traveling up the Orinoco River via the Caño Manamo.
San Antonio de Capayacuar was founded on August 7, 1713 by the Capuchin missionary Fray Gerónimo de Muro with the help of Carib Indians, cuacas and chaimas.
On April 20, 1731, the Aragonese Fray Antonio de Blesa founded Santo Domingo de Guzmán de Caycuar, the area was inhabited by chaimas and outcasts when the Capuchin missionaries arrived, this settlement would later be called Caicara de Maturín.
A Catholic mission of Chaima Indians with the Capuchin missionary Pedro de Gelsa, founded the San Miguel Arcangel de Caripe settlement on October 12, 1734, which would later become Caripe.
In 1799 the German geographer Alejandro de Humboldt and the Frenchman Aimeé Bonpland visited Caripe as part of their trip through Venezuela.
But in 1879, Monagas was annexed to the State of Oriente and, from 1891 to 1898, it belonged to the State of Bermúdez.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, the plains and swamps north of the Orinoco, under the rule of the Caribs, made alliances with the French and Dutch as a policy of tenacious resistance against Spanish domination.
Although the settlement of the territory was slow, archaeological excavations and commentaries by Indian chroniclers point to the existence of a well-developed village in Barrancas in the year 1530, when Conqueror Diego de Ordás passed through the area in search of El Dorado.
In the 16th century, missionaries arrived in the highlands and slowly the Christianisation and re-education of the Indians spread to the south; they thus adapted to a more sedentary life.
In 1924 the Standard Oil Company starts the oil exploration activities in the area of Caripito that experiences a slight repopulation.
1 well, in the Quiriquire field in 1928, oil exploitation begins and the area reaches an important impulse in its urban development due to the arrival of migrant labor, particularly from the Caribbean islands.
In 1929 the Standard Oil Company begins to build the storage yard and the deep water dock on the San Juan River and on October 15, 1930 the Creole Bueno tanker leaves the port of Caripito with 20 thousand barrels of oil bound for Trinidad.
In 1935, the aquatic terminal of Caripito was inaugurated, located on the San Juan River, where S-42 seaplanes of the Pan American Airways company arrived and included it in the Central American and Caribbean route.
In 1936 the Caripito International Airport is selected by the aviator Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan as the second stopover of their trip around the world staying at the Standard Oil Company facilities.
The event was widely publicized in the world press and the company gave them the logistical support to continue the flight through South America.
On December 28 of that same year the first oil well was drilled in that area, in addition the Legislative Assembly of Monagas considered the convenience of creating the Bolivar District and integrated to its territory the municipalities of Punceres and Colon, designating Caripito as the capital, according to the decree of January 19, 1940, signed by Governor Jose Maria Isava on January 30 of the same year.
Under the direction of the Corporación Venezolana de Guayana, several hectares of Caribbean pine were planted between Barrancas and the nearby town of Uverito, an activity that significantly boosted the development of the area.
By the 1970s, it was the most important population and port in the state of Monagas, mainly due to the lack of land road connections to the main nearby cities, such as Tucupita (Delta Amacuro) and Puerto Ordaz (State of Bolivar), although today it continues to be an important center for the collection of goods and passengers to these cities.
In 1976, the assets of Creole were nationalized and were managed by Lagoven, later by Corpoven and now by PDVSA in association with Repsol.
By closing the refinery in 1976 and the oil terminal in 2002, an attempt was made to boost agricultural activity to take advantage of fertile areas by growing cocoa, pepper, Chinese ocumo, white ocumo and yucca.
On August 20, 1983, the State Legislative Assembly declared the creation of the Municipal Council of the Libertador Municipality, in accordance with the provisions of the law of Political Territorial Division of the State of Monagas, allowing the creation of the Libertador Municipality.
Since 1989, with the administrative reforms that were approved for the whole country, the state of Monagas elected for the first time in a direct and secret way its own governor and Legislative Assembly (called since 2000 Legislative Council).
In the northeast and the southeast there are deltaic savannas in which rivers such as San Juan, Guanipa, Caño Mánamo, Río Tigre flow into.
The mountain landscape presents a geological material of Cretaceous age, constituted exclusively by sedimentary rocks, predominantly sandstones, shales and limestones, being the main geological formations: El Cantil, Barranquín, Guayuta and Querecual; it has elevations between 400 and 2 300 m.a.s.l., with valleys and depressions.
The weather is hot in the area of the Llanos, while it is cold in the mountains located in the north of the state.
In the area of the town of Caripe the cold temperature permits the cultivation of certain kind of typical plants from cold weathers as roses and strawberries.
Dominated by a rainy tropical climate with some local variations that respond to various factors such as altitude, wind and proximity to the sea.
Most of the state, in the southern strip, has a climate typical of savannahs with dry seasons that can last up to six months, which produces a severe water shortage.
The average annual temperature of Monagas is approximately 27º C. In Maturín, Temblador and Uverito, average temperatures are between 26° and 27° C.
The rivers of the Atlantic Ocean basin come from the mountains located in the northwest of the state and the rivers of the Orinoco river basin come from the many plateaus located in the southwest of Monagas State and from Anzoategui State.
It has an extensive hydrographic network with a fairly uniform geographical distribution, with the Guarapiche River standing out in the area of the tables.
The rivers are numerous and of little depth, marking the end of the piedmont in which three river basins are located with course north-south that are: that of the rivers Amana-Areo, Guarapiche, Púnceres-Aragua.
More than 2000 species of vascular flora have been catalogued within the Monagas territory [citation required] The most symbolic tree of the Moriche along the Morichal Largo River.
The dominant vegetation in the north of Monagas State is the rain forest, like the one found in the mountainous area of the San Juan River valley and the Acosta and Caripe municipalities.
However, in the flat regions, towards the south-east of the state, intertropical savannah vegetation dominates, such as thorn bushes, grasses, cujíes and other varieties that have adapted to the conditions of the state such as Ceiba, jobo, Caribbean pine, jabillo and carob tree.
Another variation of the vegetation present in Monagas State, can be found along the banks of the main rivers, where extensive forests of mangroves, palms and morichals have been formed.
Cueva del Guácharo National Park, was created in May 1975 by the Venezuelan government to protect the ecosystem surrounding the Guacharo's Cave.
The park has a surface area of and covers the mountainous areas of Acosta and Caripe municipalities in Monagas state and Ribero municipality in Sucre state.
Many people from neighbouring states as Sucre and Nueva Esparta, as well as persons from other countries as Spaniards, Italians, Portuguese, Syrian, Lebanese and Chinese have immigrated to the state because of the petroleum industry and business opportunities.
Natives of Monagas share with the population of the eastern states the quick manner of speaking the Spanish language, the food, some musical rhythms as the galerón or el Joropo, typical clothing as Liquiliqui of Los LLanos and the veneration for the Virgin of El Valle.
The Maturín Carnival stands out for the parade in the center of the city of floats and parades made by the communities, educational institutions, public agencies and private companies.

This art consists of carefully weaving the fiber of the moriche palm, once it is salcochada and spun, this fiber is tied to special sticks and woven between them, giving it the shape of a sheet, which when the cabulleras are placed at their ends, it takes the form of a chinchorro.
This name is due to the fact that the raw material used for the elaboration of this handicraft is extracted from the roots of a tree that bears its name because when it is cut, its roots tend to bleed; it is easy to mould as it is a very soft and light wood.
The raw material is plant fibers, mostly moriche and sangrito wood, with which they carve figures, animals, also make necklaces with peonies, vulture seeds and tears of San Pedro, among other materials.
Its main material is clay, which after being molded is baked and painted, making figures such as: dolls, vases, facades of houses, among others.
On the other hand, the blending of catholic rites with the rites of other religions like the Indian and African ones is very extended.

Like the other 23 federal entities of Venezuela, the State maintains its own police force, which is supported and complemented by the National Police and the Venezuelan National Guard.
It is formed by the Governor of Monagas, and a cabinet of State Secretaries of his confidence who assist him in the management of the government and are officials of free appointment and removal, an attorney, autonomous institutes and state foundations.
It consists of a unicameral parliament called the Legislative Council of the State of Monagas, which is responsible for approving the regional budget, passing state laws and supervising the management of the state governor.
Monagas is organized on the basis of the Constitution of the State of Monagas, adopted by the Legislative Council on 21 March 2002.
Margarita was discovered on August 15, 1498 during Columbus' third voyage.8 On that trip the Admiral would also discover the mainland, Venezuela.
Columbus named the island La Asunción, because it was discovered on the religious date of the Virgin that bears his name.9 The following year, in 1499, Pedro Alonso Niño and Cristóbal Guerra, renamed it La Margarita due to the abundance of pearls found in the region, other hypotheses suggest that the name Margarita is referred to by Queen Margarita of Austria-Styria.
Shortly after its discovery, other European sailors confirmed the existence of rich pearl deposits in Cubagua, whose exploitation gave rise to the first Spanish establishment in Venezuela.
According to Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, in 1500, only 2 years after his sighting, there were already 50 adventurers installed in Cubagua who were eagerly looking for the precious mother-of-pearl gems used by the natives in their personal ornaments.
This settlement of small Spanish villages for the exploitation of these pearl riches in Cubagua consisted of a Cabildo and Regidores by 1510.
But the settlement was carried out in this early date spontaneously without following Hispanic patterns, since even in 1517 it is indicated that the population resided in awnings and huts.
At first, all official attempts to achieve the colonization of Cubagua failed, the problem of water supply was paramount and it was concluded that the establishment of a village in Cubagua could not bear fruit without the previous construction of a fortress at the mouth of the river of today's Cumaná, which was the one that supplied the water.
Under the protection of the Cumaná fortress, which was finally built in early 1523, the village of Cubagua was quickly organized and an extraordinary boom emerged in the exploitation of pearl pleasures.
It is unlikely that before 1525 the residents of the village of Cubagua were aware of being a town or city.
None of the pearl records from 1521 to 1525, which are the first known local sources of Cubagua, mention the name of the village on this island, and only speak of Cubagua.
Through these ordinances, the city of Nueva Cádiz, today recognized as the first city of Venezuela, did not depend on Hispaniola and could trade directly with Castile.
They set about building their city, replacing the huts with stone houses, material brought from Araya, and increasing the number of inhabitants.
When pearls were scarce, they sought new fisheries and with the authorization of the Royal Court of Santo Domingo and King Carlos I, they moved to Cabo de la Vela.
The disappearance of the Cubagua population was a slow process due mainly to the lack of water, the resistance of the Indians to the exhausting work of the pearl fisheries, and to the conquests of distant lands.
Coinciding with the boom in fisheries in Cubagua there is already a migration to Cabo de la Vela, because there were not enough of them in Cubagua.
By 1537, the island was becoming depopulated and in 1541, history indicates that a hurricane hit the island, possibly causing an earthquake, and its inhabitants fled to Margarita and founded a town.
In 1543, French pirates arrived at the ruins of Nueva Cádiz, where some 10 inhabitants still remained, and left the city in flames, causing the island to be abandoned once again.
Although the exact date of its total abandonment by the Spaniards in this early period is not known, history indicates that by 1545 a group of residents of Nueva Cádiz aspire to incorporate Margarita under their jurisdiction, which confirms the existence of a population on the island at least for that date.
In 1676, the Marquis of Maitenon with a fleet of 10 ships and 800 French buccaneers attacked Margarita Island and Cumaná.
It had depended on the Royal Audience of Santo Domingo until 1739, when it was annexed to the Viceroyalty of New Granada, along with other entities; and in 1830, when the Republic of Venezuela emerged, it was one of its 13 original provinces.
Inside the Church there is still the chair where General Bolivar sat down and the remaining illustrious who participated in the assembly.
In 1835 the province of Margarita was divided into the cantons of La Asunción (composed of the parishes of Paraguachí, Pampatar, Los Robles, El Valle and Porlamar) and Norte (composed of the parishes of Tacarigua, Juangriego, San Juan, Pedro González and Sabana Grande).
In 1864, when the country was divided into 20 states and a Federal District, Margarita took the name of Estado Nueva Esparta.
The complete exhaustion of the Cubagua pearl oysters in 1857, determines the abandonment of this island and from now on it will be visited by fishermen who will improvise rancherías.
In 1901, two years after the autonomy of the states was restored, it regained the name of Nueva Esparta, but lost it again between 1904 and 1909, during which time it was included in the Federal District as an Eastern Section.
Other important towns are Juan Griego, Pampatar (home of the Port Authority), Punta de Piedras, San Juan Bautista, Las Guevaras, Las Hernández, Villa Rosa, Bella Vista (Margarita), El Valle del Espíritu Santo.
Nueva Esparta is located between the coordinates 10º44, 11º10` of North latitude and 63º (degrees) 46` (minutes), 64º13` of West longitude, in the insular region of the country.
Together, the three islands of the entity bring together magnificent beaches, wonderful mangroves and other landscapes that make it a true island paradise.
Margarita, the largest of them, has a maximum elevation on Copey Hill (900 meters above sea level) and includes the Macanao mountain core to the west.
Igneous-metamorphic rocks of the Mesozoic era form the foundation of the mountainous areas and their foothills, including the hill landscape, with the exception of the undulating reliefs of Pampatar, constituted by tertiary sediments, as well as the coastal plane.
The lowest marine areas are Pleistocene and Holocene formations, composed of alluviums, coastal and alluvial terraces, calcareous sandstones and lagoon deposits.
The eastern sector of Margarita Island has three small mountain ranges, aligned in a southeast-northwest direction, whose altitude stops are the Copey, Matasiete, La Guardia and Guayamurí hills; To the southwest, the relief is flat, with the exception of moderate elevations, known as Las Tetas de María Guevara.
The coastal plains of the eastern massif descend to oceanic beaches of great breadth and white sands that constitute a great tourist attraction, also conducive to sports and recreation activities.
There are no significant permanent water currents, but thin rivers lately seasonal due to climatic changes that have raised temperatures throughout the planet in recent years.
Of these, the main ones are San Juan (San Juan poses), San Francisco, La Asunción, El Valle, Chaguaramal, El Muco, La Vieja, Negro and Tacarigua.
The lagoons of La Restinga, Los Mártires and Las Marites, together with the hot springs of the Holy Spirit Valley and the San Francisco sector, complete a scarce, insufficient and unsuitable hydrographic system to supply the local population with potable water.
The areas with the highest rainfall are located in the Serranía de El Copey, reaching 1,100 mm., Which, together with local fogs, allows the development of cloud forests, which derive on lower slopes in formations of premontane dry forests.
If it is considered that in the coastal and beach sites, such as Porlamar, there are only 66 days of appreciable rainfall per year, the optimal conditions for various types of tourism are given.
Some cyclones that have affected the islands either directly or indirectly have been Hurricane Joan-Miriam in 1988 and Tropical Storm Bret in 1993.
The valleys' soils, the best quality lands, are well developed, have an organic layer, are protected from the erosive action of the wind and are covered with vegetation, but only occupy a small proportion of the state.16 In the areas of Piedmont, the cones of injection and colluvial materials give rise to very stony soils.
The islands of Coche and Cubagua have soils with salinity and strong erosion resulting from the action of the winds, which gives their surface layer a stony character.
On Margarita Island, the climatic and / or edaphic effects have produced a mixture of life zones, with varied ecosystems that range from tropical desert weeds, in low and dry areas, to thorny mountains and tropical dry forest in areas of greater height.
And several species of reptiles, such as: Iguana which was once more in Margarita but its hunting for the consumption of its eggs and meat has made it an endangered species in Margarita; Slot or Macaurel, Rattlesnake, Coral, Guaripete, Lizard.
The semi-arid climate of the Nueva Esparta state is one of the fundamental reasons for the evolution of two main types of vegetation.
The entity stands out for its scenic resources, represented in natural landscapes, such as lagoons, beaches, hills, salt flats and wind formations, all of great tourist potential.
However, it does not have large energy resources, and its availability of minerals is limited to the existence of gravel, sand, limestone, dolomite, chromite, manganese, talc and stone.
The vegetation and natural resources of the state are few for being an arid zone in the middle of the Caribbean Sea, but, heat plants such as cacti, palm trees are very seen in warm areas, but, there are also green areas such as Copey Hill and others .
Trade predominates, due to the condition of Puerto Libre (established in 1971 by presidential decree) and its link with local tourism.
The tourist activity has stimulated the construction industry, as evidenced by the existence of hotels, restaurants, holiday homes and entertainment centers, as part of an infrastructure that revalue this area for visitors of both national and international origin.
Fishing has allowed the production of; needle, anchovy, tuna, snapper, corocoro, lamparosa, carite, torito, lisa, catfish, cazón, vaquita, horse mackerel, picua and sardine (shellfish); shrimp and lobster (crustacean); clam, squid, chipichipi, guacuco, pearl casing and oysters (mollusks).
Agriculture is also seen as a complementary economic activity, especially on the island of Margarita, where the cultivation of eggplant, corn, melon, paprika, pinilla, sweet pepper and tomato stand out.
The Nueva Esparta State, has become a place of rest and escape for the inhabitants of the great cities of the center of the country being a popular tourist destination of Venezuela.
The islands have beaches with conditions for surfing, diving, windsurfing, kitesurfing and other water sports, as well as historic colonial towns.
In recent years, several projects have been planned to boost tourism, such as the Puerto la Mar Cruise Port, the expansion of the Santiago Mariño Caribbean International Airport, the Punta Ballena Lighthouse (in cooperation with the Venezuelan Navy ) among others.
To the west of the island the conditions for windsurfing and kiteboarding (strong winds of more than 50 km / h with a sea without waves) and the Tricycles with sail or Sand Yacht can be cited among the best in the world.
You can see the effect of strong and continuous breezes in the sparse vegetation of the island, as can be seen in the image of San Pedro de Coche.
On the roads, cycling can be practiced, naturally, with sun protection to avoid sunstroke, given the absence of clouds throughout the year.
The temperature, although high, is pleasant for the fresh sea breeze, taking into account that this breeze rises, precisely, in the hottest hours during the afternoon.
Its density exceeds the national average and is one of the highest in the country, due to a constant population growth since the 40s, only slowed by the decline in birth from the 60s.
The Mariño municipality, for example, concentrates more than 23.7% of the entity's inhabitants, and its capital, Porlamar, is the largest economic center on the island of Margarita.
It is followed in importance by the municipalities García and Maneiro, which are neighbors of Porlamar, a city that, given the physical impossibility of continuing to grow, has expanded towards them.
The native inhabitants of Nueva Esparta State were indigenous people of the Guaiquerí nation, who called the current island of Margarita Paraguachoa (Place where there are fish in abundance).
They were great fishermen and farmers, made canoes, hammocks, bows, arrows, wooden mortars, bamboo tubes (currently extinct plant in the area) to extract palm oil and clay utensils.
On the other hand, there are also a variety of religions on the island, among them the Muslim and the Jews.
The celebrations in Honor of San José de Paraguachí, Patron of the town, are celebrated from March 19 of each year, day of San José, for a week.
This week there are cultural activities, dances, food fairs and the famous procession in Honor of San José, where hundreds of parishioners tour the town.
The Nueva Esparta state has a wide range of native dishes, usually made from seafood products or obtained through local sowing.
The dogfish cake could be considered as the emblematic dish of the region, it is a cake made with dogfish (shark breeding) and banana (similar to the pooch pie, only that it is made with pooch - rajiform fish - and has more ingredients) .
Other typical dishes obtained from the sea may be molluscs and crustaceans such as mussels, clams, sea urchins, crab, shrimp, shrimp, etc.
Which are prepared in various ways, one of the most common is a soaked dish commonly called phosphorera or stewed with rice, calling it seafood rice.
It is common to observe in many of the streets and squares of the towns of Nueva Esparta, stalls selling cazón empanadas and white cheese, where, the food stalls located in the Market of Los Conejeros, those of the Valley of the Holy Spirit stand out and The Assumption.
Mainly because of the heritage of pre-Columbian cultures, such as the Guaiqueries; as well as by artisans who came to the islands mainly from Spain.
For several years, especially in the decades of the 50s, 60s and 70s, it became a thriving industry, where large businessmen of the espadrille, came to have in their so-called espadrilles called more than 100 people directly and a large amount indirectly; and produced the one used in the state and was taken to others in Venezuela.
The espadrille consists essentially of four parts: the sole, the cut or chapel, the heel and the straps; the first part is extracted from the rubber used by motor vehicles; the rest are made with thread; the cut or cap and heel are made in knitting machines, specially designed for this purpose; and the strips are made manually.
The process to obtain the sole begins by selecting the rubber, which must meet some conditions, this is divided into two parts, when cut exactly through the middle, hence the strips are removed, which can be canvas or rubber, depending on the thickness and utility; on these strips, using pre-made templates of different numbers (from No.
1 the largest to 12 or 13 the smallest), are marked on them and then cut; After trimming, they are drawn with very special knives (plotters), which indicates where the gaps will be made, this task corresponds to the specialist in using the pin, a knife used for this purpose.
After the sole is prepared, the bonding process is followed, which consists of adhering the cut and heel to the sole with thread which is added beeswax, to make it more resistant, after this, the heel is joined and The cut with the strips.
In different areas of the state we can find universities that offer careers mostly related to activities related to tourism, fishing and scientific research of the sea.
However, over the decades, these institutions have been adapting to the growing demands and the labor demand not only of the activities mentioned above, to the point, that currently the variety of careers they offer are from the branches of the Social Sciences to the Human Sciences.
With 592.6 km of roads, the main routes are the CL5, which crosses Margarita from east to west, the premises # 4 and # 1 that cross the eastern part of the island in a north-south direction; and branch # 11, which runs from Punta de Piedras to CL5.
The entity has the Santiago Mariño Caribbean International Airport, located near El Yaque beach, and small tracks by Car and Macanao.
The port infrastructure is headed by the El Guamache International Port and the Chacachacare and Punta Algodones piers; The Punta de Piedras ferry terminal serves tourist routes to Puerto La Cruz, Cumana, La Guaira and San Pedro de Coche, while other maritime operators dispatch from Pampatar and Juangriego.
There are also piers in La Isleta and El Yaque, which provide transportation service to the neighboring island of Coche, as well as a service of smaller vessels (tapaítos) that depart from Porlamar to the town of Chacopata in Sucre State.
The state is autonomous and equal in political terms to the rest of the federation, organizes its administration and its public powers through the Constitution of the Nueva Esparta State, dictated by the former Legislative Assembly published in the Official Gazette of the Nueva Esparta State, Extraordinary Number , dated July 6, 1993, and its Amendment No.
The Governor is elected by the people by direct and secret vote for a period of four years and with the possibility of immediate re-election for additional periods, being in charge of the state administration.
The state legislature rests with the Legislative Council of Nueva Esparta, a unicameral regional parliament, elected by the people by direct and secret vote every four years and may be re-elected for new consecutive periods, under a system of proportional representation of the population of the state and its municipalities, the State has 5 deputies, of which 4 belong to the opposition and 1 to the government.
The State has its own police force called INEPOL on the basis of what is established in the National Constitution of Venezuela, 19 being the one in charge of regional security and organized under the legal figure of the Autonomous Institute.

Industry observers saw Authorized Domain as having the potential either to loosen or to tighten restrictions on the use of copyrighted works.
Detractors felt it might raise the price of content consumption for end-users and damage their ability to duplicate copies of works.
Supporters of Authorized Domain, on the other hand, said it is neutral to such concerns, because it doesn't favor one content distribution business model over another.
The state is bordered on the north by the state of Lara, on the east by Cojedes, on the west by Trujillo and south by Barinas.
According to the apologist, it is due to the tragic outcome of a young woman of Portuguese origin who drowned in the waters of the old and mighty Temerí River; she possibly accompanied the conquistadors who founded what we know today as the city of Guanare, the capital of the state.
In the pre-Hispanic era, the territory of the Venezuelan plains was inhabited by groups that arrived from the Amazon region by river (probably Colombia or Ecuador).
The oldest known occupation occurred between 300 and 600 BC in the Barinas and Portuguesa plains, perhaps because it was one of the least affected by periodic flooding in the region.
Among the traces left by these pre-Columbian inhabitants are numerous petroglyphs of geometric, anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figures, as well as a complex network of roads believed to have served to drain swamps or control water.
They also left a system of mounds that possibly had functions of surveillance, funerary or refuge for the periods of greatest flooding.
Several expeditions of the Welser of Augsburg, coming from Coro under the command of Nicolas Federmann and Georg von Spira, towards the year 1534 went to the Andean foothills and crossed the current territory of the Llanos.
In 1542, the armies of Philip von Hutten from Coro visited the region on their way to Barinas, but were rejected by the Omaguas Indians and Hutten was wounded.
The Spanish conquerors Diego Ruiz de Vallejo and Juan Ruiz de Villegas started in 1549 the exploration of the lands located in the east of the Andes.
Among the warlike actions undertaken by Bolivar from the west in the War of Independence, the Battle of Araure stands out, in which Simon Bolivar defeated Jose Ceballos.
With Santiago Mariño from the east, Venezuela was under the control of the patriots in mid 1813, except for the provinces of Guayana and Maracaibo.
In September 1813, the royalists received reinforcements from Cadiz, spreading the armed confrontations throughout the country, while the patriots' successes continued until the end of 1813.
On December 3, 1813 Simón Bolívar learned that the Royalist forces (3,500 men), under the command of Brigadier José Ceballos, had met with those of José Yáñez in the town of Araure (Edo.
Portuguesa), and as a result, he arranged for all the bodies that were in El Altar and Cojedes to attend the concentration that would take place in the town of Agua Blanca.
On the 4th, the Republicans marched towards Araure and camped about 1,000 m from the village, opposite the Royalists, who had deployed at the entrance of the Acarigua River mountain; with their wings supported by a forest and covered by a small lagoon; their back was garrisoned by a forest; they also had ten artillery pieces.
On the 5th, the discovered republican woman pawned the action and was immediately flanked and cut off by a column of cavalry.
Colonel Manuel Villapol stood on the right; Colonel Florencio Palacios in the center and Lieutenant Colonel Vicente Campo Elías, with the Barlovento Battalion, on the left.
Before the Republican attack, Ceballos marched his cavalry against the right of the attackers, to distract and disorder them, but Bolivar, attentive to this movement, pawned his reserve, which disordered and put the opposite cavalry in flight.
This intervention of Bolivar allowed the breaking of the enemy front, action that produced great confusion within the defensive position, with the consequent triumph of the Republicans.
A division was in charge of covering the battlefield, which was covered with corpses and supplies of all kinds, while the pursuit of the defeated was carried out by Bolivar himself.
In this single clash, passionate and violent, more than 500 horsemen of Yáñez, the Ñaña of the Llaneros, perished with their lance.
The battalion that fought here on the last day of Barquisimeto was punished by the Liberator, denying him the name and the right to carry a flag.
On April 10, 1851, by decree of the Congress of the Republic under the mandate of General José Gregorio Monagas, the territory that currently makes up the state of Portugal became a province, with Guanare as its capital.
Especially in Portuguesa it was where it meant the most, since in addition to the outrages and loss of life in the fighting, the departures of uncontrolled guerrillas, the passions and quarrels produced more deaths and misfortunes than the combats; furthermore, the arson attacks on houses, farms and cattle yards that plunged many families of the time into ruin.
In the days of this uncontrolled movement and in the vicinity of Araure, specifically in Tapa de Piedra, on April 4, 1859, a bloody combat was staged between the revolutionary forces of General Zamora and those of the conservative Manuel Herrera.
After almost three hours of confrontation, Herrera lost the fight and had to flee with the survivors on the way to Ospino.
Following the Federal Revolution in 1866, it was decided to unite the Zamora and Portuguesa entities into one and call it Zamora State.
Later, with Antonio Guzmán Blanco in power, the territorial division was reduced to seven states, so Portuguesa became part of the South West state, along with Cojedes and Zamora.
At the end of the 19th century, the Restoration Revolution brought back the country's political division into 20 states and, consequently, Portuguesa and Cojedes became Zamora again.
Finally, on August 5, 1909, the National Constitution was promulgated, which established that Venezuela would be composed of a Federal District, two Federal Territories and 20 states, one of which would be Portuguesa with the capital in the city of Guanare.
Like most of the Llanos states, Portuguesa was practically isolated from the center of the country until the middle of the 20th century.
The only way to move from this entity to another was by means of carts pulled by horses or oxen, or by using the waterways.
After the overthrow of General Isaías Medina Angarita, the Revolutionary Government Board began to materialize the existing projects designed by the previous rulers on sustainable agricultural development based on the colonization of large areas.
It was in the 1940s, when work began on the Los Llanos road, which meant the economic take-off of the region.
The foundation of the Turén Agricultural Colony through the work of 20,000 immigrant refugees, mostly Italian, drove the rice plan, and the incorporation of hundreds of hectares of irrigated land were key to the development and growth of this state known as the granary of Venezuela.
To this end, the government, through itinerant diplomacy, made use of the international agreements signed during the post-war period on aid to refugees and put into practice the open border policy of selective immigration promoted by General Marcos Pérez Jiménez, where Europeans (mostly Italians, Spaniards and Germans) with an agricultural tradition entered and shared work with Venezuelan citizens from various regions of the Republic.
In 1949, the Agricultural Unit or Colony of Turen, the most ambitious experience of its kind ever carried out in a Caribbean country, was initiated.
Located, as well as the Tovar colony, in an area of mountains, the future Granary of Venezuela sheltered, together with a minority of local farmers, a babel of immigrants from several countries.
It is located in the Midwestern Region of the country, extending approximately between latitudes 08°06′ and 09°50′ north latitude, and meridians 68°30′ and 70°11′ west longitude.
The Andean mountainous area to the West and Northwest, with heights above 3,000 m, where the valleys of Chabasquén and Biscucuy open, in whose hills coffee and smaller fruits are grown.
Some water courses include: Portuguese Red, Caño Guamal, and Caño Amarillo, which corresponds to the old riverbed of the Acarigua River that is fed by the above-mentioned channel during the summer season; in addition to Caño Turen, Caño El Toro, Caño Durigua, Caño Colorado, Caño Canaguapa, Caño Maratán, Quebrada Paso Real, Quebrada Curpa, Quebrada Cambural, and Quebrada de Araure.
It has a relatively homogeneous climate, where the average minimum temperature varies between 20º and 35ºC., being this one regulated by the winds coming from the gulf of Venezuela and the trade winds that go up the Llanos, which produce areas of cloudiness and frequent torrential rains.
During the beginning of the drought (December, January and February) it is characterized by the scarcity of rain, and a great thermal amplitude, where the nights are usually cool, early mornings with up to 19 °C, and during the day very hot (max 29-31 °C).
Around March and the beginning of April, the daily temperature range decreases a little, bringing with it the hottest season in the village.
The lowest temperature recorded is 17 °C on 5 April 1984 and the highest is 41 °C during several occasions and heat waves occurring with the El Niño phenomenon.
The average annual temperature (Max-Min) is between 22 ° and 26 ° Celsius, in the area of flat lands and in the area of mountain and piedmont landscapes the climatic conditions vary according to height variations.
The dominant vegetation is savanna, but are also gallery forests along the river bends, and dense forests in the foothills of the Andes.
The fauna is represented by: spectacled bears, jaguars, (both endangered species), armadillos, parrots, opossums, howler monkeys, deer, ocelots, pumas and southern tamandua.
Acarigua city in the north, is the largest conurbation in the state, being the second largest in the center-west of the country, along with Araure form an area with over 460,000 inhabitants (2001 Census).

It is the only colonial church in Venezuela that has a choir independent of the main entrance doors of the temple.
José Antonio Páez was baptized there, and it was here that in 1813 the Liberator Simón Bolívar prayed before the triumph of the Battle of Araure.
He was an environmental engineer of Yugoslavian origin, who arrived in this area in 1949 with the noble task of reforesting vast areas, found until then in a deplorable state.
The state has the Oswaldo Guevara Mujica de Araure Brigadier General Airport, which is located west of the city and maintains private flights, mainly to Caracas, is operated by the Autonomous Institute of Airports of the Portuguese State (IABAEP).
It also has a transport terminal to the north, near the road to San Carlos, which is responsible for covering urban and interurban routes.

This state borders Zulia State to the north, Barinas and Mérida States to the east, Apure and Barinas States to the south, and Colombia (Norte de Santander Department) to the west.
This state produced more presidents than any other state during the 20th century: Cipriano Castro, Juan Vicente Gómez, Marcos Pérez Jiménez, Isaías Medina Angarita, Eleazar López Contreras, Carlos Andrés Pérez, and Ramón José Velásquez.
At the end of the 19th century, the people of Táchira State were tired of being left out of the main country's decisions.
Until the start of the 20th century, it was highly difficult traveling between Táchira State and others and even within the state itself.
During January the Capital city of San Cristóbal celebrates its fiesta, which is recognized nationally for its industrial, commercial and agricultural exhibitions.

A câmara municipal (, meaning literally municipal chamber and often referred to simply as câmara) is a type of municipal governing body, existing in several countries of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries.
Named after Venezuela's first non-military president, José María Vargas, Vargas comprises a coastal region in the north of Venezuela, bordering Aragua to the west, Miranda to the east, the Caribbean Sea to the north and the Capital District to the south.
The state owed its previous name to José María Vargas, although this was changed on June 13, 2019 to only La Guaira.
This region of Venezuela has undergone important changes over the years, and while the geographical borders have remained, the territorial delineation has varied.
The area was previously one of the departments of the Venezuela's Federal District (the other being the Libertador department, now Libertador Municipality), and the governor of this region was chosen by the national government.
In 1998 the government of Rafael Caldera decreed Vargas as an independent municipality, separate from the Federal District, with the statute of Federal Territory.
In mid-December 1999, after several days of ever-increasing rains pouring over the Central Mountain Range and the piedmont within the span of 24 hours along the coastline for about ., the state suffered from massive floods which resulted in severe losses of life and property.
In its wake as of December 16, the surviving population witnessed the massive destruction of most of the state infrastructure, including the collapse of most roads, bridges, housings, public and private buildings, and of basic services as electricity and communications; in which thousands were killed or missing.
Such climatic phenomenon (of extraordinarily high rainfall levels) appears to be periodical, having a cycle of about 70 years, and probably has occurred hundreds, perhaps thousands of times since a distant past.
Like other states, the structure of the government of Vargas is laid out in the Constitution, the highest law in the state.

In 2004, thanks to the Chavez landslide, Lapi was narrowly unseated by Carlos E. Giménez, supported by Chavez political allies in the area.
Since then, the economy has been in some turmoil as a considerable amount of land invasions by poor farmers in search of lands have created havoc within the agricultural system.
Carlos Giménez was followed as governor by Julio León in 2008, after he was removed from power due to allegations of corruption.

Hill Air Force Base is a major U.S. Air Force base located in northern Utah, just south of the city of Ogden, and near the towns of Layton, Clearfield, Riverdale, Roy, and Sunset.
In this decade Hill AFB is still the sixth-largest employer in the state of Utah, and the third-largest one excluding the State Government and Higher Education employers.
Hill AFB is the home of the Air Force Materiel Command's (AFMC) Ogden Air Logistics Complex which is the worldwide manager for a wide range of aircraft, engines, missiles, software, avionics, and accessories components.
The host unit at Hill AFB is the Air Force Material Command's 75th Air Base Wing (75 ABW), which provides services and support for the Ogden Air Logistics Complex and its subordinate organizations.
Additional tenant units at Hill AFB include operational fighter wings of the Air Combat Command (ACC) and the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC).
Hill Air Force Base is named in honor of Major Ployer Peter Hill (1894–1935), the Chief of the Flying Branch of the U.S. Army Air Corps Material Division of Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio.
Major Hill had died as a result of injuries he received from the crash of the Boeing Aircraft Company's experimental aircraft Boeing Model 299 at Wright Field, the prototype airplane for what became the famous B-17 Flying Fortress.
In the following years, the U.S. Army Air Corps surveyed the region for a suitable location for the permanent western terminus of the air mail.
Following American entry into World War II in December 1941, Hill Field quickly became an important maintenance and supply base, with round-the-clock operations geared to supporting the war effort.
Battle-worn warplanes like the A-26, B-17, B-24, B-29, P-40, P-47, P-61, were sent to Hill Field for structural repairs, engine overhauls, and spare parts.
The peak wartime employment at Hill Field was reached in 1943 with a total of just over 22,000 military and civilian personnel.
Starting in 1944, Hill Field was utilized for the long-term storage of surplus airplanes and their support equipment, including outmoded P-40 Tomahawks and P-40 Warhawks which had been removed from combat service and replaced by newer and better warplanes.
P-47 Thunderbolts, B-24 Liberators, B-29 Superfortresses, and many other types of aircraft were also prepared for and placed in storage at Hill over the course of the 1940s and 1950s.
Hill Field became the Hill Air Force Base on 5 February 1948, following the creation of the United States Air Force.
During the Korean War, Hill AFB was assigned a major share of the Air Materiel Command's logistical effort to support the combat in Korea.
Then during the 1960s, Hill AFB began to perform the maintenance support for various kinds of jet warplanes, mainly the F-4 Phantom II during the Vietnam War, and then afterwards, the more modern F-16 Fighting Falcons, A-10 Thunderbolt IIs, and C-130 Hercules, and also air combat missile systems and air-to-ground rockets.
The Ogden Air Logistics Complex provides worldwide engineering and logistics management for the F-16 Fighting Falcon, A-10 Thunderbolt II, and Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile.
The 75th ABW provides base operating support for the Ogden Air Logistics Complex, the 388th and 419th Fighter Wings, the 84th Combat Sustainment Wing, the 309th Maintenance Wing, the 508th Aerospace Sustainment Wing, and 25 subordinate units.
The Utah Test and Training Range is one of the only live-fire U.S. Air Force training ranges within the United States.
It is located in far western Utah, close to the Nevada border, and it extends both north and south of Interstate Highway 80, with several miles of separation on each side of the Interstate Highway.
The Utah Test and Training Range lies in Tooele County, and the land is owned by the state of Utah, but the use of the airspace and training exercises are scheduled by Hill AFB.
On September 8, 2004, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Genesis space probe crash-landed on the nearby U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground, as planned.
Units marked GSU are Geographically Separate Units, which although based at Hill, are subordinate to a parent unit based at another location.
Three enlisted United States Air Force airmen stationed at Hill AFB – Pierre Dale Selby, William Andrews and Keith Roberts – were convicted in connection with the Hi-Fi murders, which took place at the Hi-Fi Shop in Ogden, Utah, on April 22, 1974.
Selby and Andrews were both sentenced to death for murder and aggravated robbery while Roberts, who had remained in a getaway vehicle, was convicted of robbery.

Rift Valley Academy was ranked 2nd out of the top 100 best high schools in Africa by Africa Almanac in 2003, based upon quality of education, student engagement, strength and activities of alumni, school profile, internet and news visibility.
Having met with Hurlburt in the White House in 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt visited Kijabe shortly after leaving office four years later.
During this visit, in 1909, Roosevelt laid the cornerstone for Kiambogo, the main school building that remains the centerpiece of RVA's campus.
The two houses, Stanleys and Livingstons, were named for the two explorers and served as an organizational tool for the school.
Miss Perrott went on furlough in 1931 and was unable to return to Africa, but her influence was invaluable to the development of the school.
Just as World War I broke out, Miss Hope, who was by now Mrs. Westervelt, was forced to leave the field due to poor health.
The years during World War I were very difficult because it was hard to get staff to come due to the dangers of sea travel during the war.
It was during these years that there were a number of epidemics that forced the school to close periodically as well.
He was uniquely prepared for the job since he was one of the first Americans born in East Africa and an alumnus of the school.
He came to the job with several years of experience both as an educator and administrator, which was handy since both he and his wife Muriel needed to teach as they were the only staff at the time.
Downing's goal was to establish a lasting and positive culture so that parents would feel comfortable leaving their children at RVA.
It was during his time as principal that the school became much more deliberately academic, although it retained a mixed European and American curriculum.
Another Downing innovation was the introduction of Rendezvous or Mutton Guz, a party to reward those students who had not misbehaved too badly over the term.
He made a plea for teachers and funding because he recognized that without the school, many of the parents would not be able to stay on the field and that the school was in a very real way training the next generation of missionaries.
His desire was the school would be able to go all the way to 12th grade since prior to this students had to return to their home countries for their high school education.
It was clear the Mau Mau were raiding in the area, several days before the town of Lari had been burned and RVA was the next target.
Months later when several Mau Mau were captured they said they were on their way to attack the mission station but were prevented from doing so by a large number of soldiers that surrounded the campus.
Students began taking college entrance exams, the National Honor Society's chapter of Elimu Bora was founded and a spirit of educational excellence was begun to be seen.
Students were sleeping on the floor because there were not enough beds, and the student to staff ratio was much too high, leaving large numbers of students without adequate adult supervision.
He began the process of breaking down the us vs. them barriers between students and staff with programs like Caring Community and building more, smaller dorms.
During this time the school reached its full complement of students, and the school board put a cap on enrolment at 550.
In 1981, the RVA rugby team won the inaugural Prescott Cup under the coaching of Colin Densham, and in 1994 they won the trophy for the 10th time in 14 years.
In 1998 Roy Entwistle handed over the reins of RVA to Jim Long who served as superintendent for 5 years before turning it over to Tim Cook (no relation to Apple's Tim Cook) in 2003.
In the 80s and 90s, the school made great steps towards standardizing of curriculum, prior to this the curriculum left with the teacher and new teachers were forced to start from scratch.
Having survived the Mau Mau Rebellion of the 1950s and terrorist threats in the late 1990s, RVA has continued to grow.
Today it enrolls roughly 500 students, from kindergarten up to grade twelve, and allows both American and British curricula to be followed by its students.
The class of 2007 had graduates go to Harvard, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, M.I.T., Stanford, The US Air Force Academy, and the US Naval Academy.
Many RVA students, whose parents are typically North American, European, or Asian Christians working in East Africa, consider themselves third culture kids, in that their cultural identity is neither that of their parents' home country nor that of East Africa but rather is a hybrid of the two.
The Rugby First XV has won the Prescott Cup multiple times as well as the Black Rock tournament (most recently in 2017).
In law, a settlement is a resolution between disputing parties about a legal case, reached either before or after court action begins.
A settlement, as well as dealing with the dispute between the parties is a contract between those parties, and is one possible (and common) result when parties sue (or contemplate so doing) each other in civil proceedings.
The contract is based upon the bargain that a party forgoes its ability to sue (if it has not sued already), or to continue with the claim (if the plaintiff has sued), in return for the certainty written into the settlement.
The settlement of the lawsuit defines legal requirements of the parties and is often put in force by an order of the court after a joint stipulation by the parties.
In other situations (as where the claims have been satisfied by the payment of a certain sum of money), the plaintiff and defendant can simply file a notice that the case has been dismissed.
Both sides (regardless of relative monetary resources) often have a strong incentive to settle to avoid the costs (such as legal fees, finding expert witnesses, etc.
The parties may hold (and indeed, the court may require) a settlement conference, at which they attempt to reach such a settlement.
In controversial cases, it may be written into a settlement that both sides keep its contents and all other information relevant to the case confidential or that one of the parties (usually the one being sued) does not, by agreeing to the settlement, admit to any fault or wrongdoing in the underlying issue.
Examples of a global settlement include the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement between the attorneys general of 46 U.S. states and the four major U.S. tobacco companies in 1999.
Usually, lawsuits end in a settlement, with an empirical analysis finding that less than 2% of cases end with a trial, 90% of torts settle, and around 50% of other civil cases settle.
The court is then free to modify its order as necessary to achieve justice in the case, and a party that breaches the settlement may be held in contempt of court, rather than facing only a civil claim for the breach.
Under Federal Rule of Evidence 408, settlement negotiations cannot usually be introduced as evidence at trial, and many state rules of evidence have similar rules modeled after it.
In these cases, the court order may refer to another document which is not disclosed, but which may be revealed to prove a breach of the settlement.
Confidentiality is not possible in class action cases in the United States, where all settlements are subject to approval by the court pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and counterpart rules adopted in most states.
Federal courts can issue protective orders preventing the release, but the party seeking to prevent disclosure must show that harm or prejudice would result from the disclosure.
The confidentiality of settlements is controversial as it allows damaging actions to remain secret, as occurred in the Catholic sexual abuse scandal.
Washington state, Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana have laws limiting confidentiality as well, although judicial interpretation has weakened the application of these types of laws.
In the U.S. Congress, a similar federal Sunshine in Litigation Act has been proposed but not passed in 2009, 2011, 2014, and 2015.
Confidentiality agreements which keep secrets from regulators about violations is probably unenforceable, but a specific carveout granting regulators access is usually not included.
In England and Wales, if the matter is already before the courts, except in a case where the claim is to be dismissed outright and the Claimant agrees to pay the Defendant's costs, the matter is usually dealt with by a consent order, signed by the legal representatives of both parties and approved by the judge.
To get around the issue of confidentiality referred to above, a standard procedure consent order, known as a Tomlin Order is entered into.
The order itself contains an agreement that the claim is stayed and no further action can be taken in court (except for referring a dispute in the implementation of the order to court, which is allowed).
The order also deals with payment of costs, and payments of money out of court if any money is held by the court (as these are matters which must be dealt with by Court Order).
In Israel, which is a common law jurisdiction, settlements almost always are submitted to the court, for two reasons: (a) only by submitting the settlement to the court can the litigants control whether the court will order one or more parties to pay costs, and (b) the plaintiff (claimant) usually prefers for the settlement to be given the effect of a judgment.
In criminal matters, the closest parallel to a settlement is a plea bargain, although this differs in several important respects, particularly the ability of the presiding judge to reject the terms of a settlement.
Charles Grey, 1st Earl Grey, KB, PC (circa 23 October 1729 – 14 November 1807) served as a British general in the 18th century.
A distinguished soldier in a generation of exceptionally capable military and naval personnel, he served in the Seven Years' War of 1756-1763, taking part in the defeat of France.
He later served in the American War of Independence (1775–1783) and in the early campaigns against France during the French Revolutionary War.
He was the fourth son of Sir Henry Grey, 1st Baronet, of Howick and Hannah, daughter of Thomas Wood of Fallodon in Northumberland.
Grey was born at his family's estate, known as Howick, 30 miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne and one mile from the North Sea.
Because he had three older brothers, Grey did not expect to inherit his father's titles and estates, so he pursued a career in the military.
In 1744, with financial assistance from his father, Grey purchased a commission as an ensign in the 6th Regiment of Foot.
Two months later, he purchased a captaincy in the 20th Regiment of Foot (subsequently titled 'East Devonshire Regiment', and in 1881 the Lancashire Fusiliers), in which James Wolfe served as lieutenant colonel.
In the Seven Years' War, he served as adjutant in the staff of Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick and on 1 August 1759 was wounded at Minden.
In 1763 he retired on half-pay, but in 1772 he received a promotion to Colonel and served as aide-de-camp to King George III.
Immediately following his disastrous retreat at the Battle of Monmouth the American General Charles Lee excused himself from criticism by complaining that he had directly faced the advance Grey's 3rd brigade.
In 1778 he led raids at New Bedford on 5–6 September, destroying nearly all the shipping and burning twenty shops and twenty-two houses in the town, and Martha's Vineyard, where between 10 and 15 September, the British carried off all the sheep, swine, cattle and oxen that they could find with promise of payment in New York.
On 27 September 1778, Grey used the same methods as he had at the Battle of Paoli in a controversial night attack at Old Tappan, New Jersey, which came to be known as the Baylor Massacre.
At the outset of the war with Revolutionary France, in 1793, Sir Charles Grey was appointed commander of the West Indian expedition.
The campaign lasted about six weeks with the British capturing Fort Royal and Fort Saint Louis on 22 March, and Fort Bourbon two days later.
In acknowledgment of his service, he was raised in January 1801 to the peerage as Baron Grey, of Howick in the County of Northumberland.
Since her musical debut in 1999, Yung has won numerous awards, including the prestigious JSG 'Most Popular Female Singer' and 'Ultimate Best Female Singer – Gold' awards a record-breaking nine times, thus emerging as one of the foremost Cantonese singers of all time.
She was ranked 63rd on the 2014 Forbes China Celebrity 100, making her the most influential Hong Kong-based female singer that year.
However, not long after she joined the company, Pony Canyon shut down its Hong Kong branch and her musical career was again cut short.
In 1998, Yung signed with the Hong Kong record label Fitto Entertainment (which was taken over by Emperor Entertainment Group (EEG) in 1999.
In 1999 she was sent abroad for training and began to receive singing lessons from Teresa Carpio and the late Roman Tam, who she accompanied on concert tours to gain experience as a performer.
She also won her first 'Best Female Singer- Gold' award at the CRHK Music Awards, becoming the award's youngest ever recipient, and the Media Award for the artist who had accumulated the most awards from the four music award ceremonies in Hong Kong.
It was estimated that for 2004, her income was HK$60 million, including her income from endorsements alone amounting to HK$10 million.
Following the success of the concert, its CD/VCD/DVD was certified triple platinum, selling 120,000 copies, and Yung's album sales surpassed five million worldwide, an impressive feat in the Cantopop industry (in which an average album will sell around 100,000 copies).
However, Yung suffered from strained vocal cords and had to work for several days without talking in an effort to relax her vocal cords.
She also spent several days receiving remedial acupuncture treatment in Nanjing, and took singing lessons under vocal coach Christine Samson, known for teaching corrective singing techniques to many Cantopop singers.
Around the same time, Yung held a concert organised by Neway with appearances from other artists such as Anthony Wong, at17, Hins Cheung, Yumiko Cheng, Vincent Wong, and Sun Boy'z.
That year she sang a number of official songs for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and began a world tour shortly afterwards with shows in Malaysia, Canada, the United States, Mainland China, Singapore, and Macau.
She stated that she would be focusing on the Mandarin-language market after the break, recording a new Mandarin album and carrying out promotions in Taiwan and Mainland China.
On 26 April 2011, Yung became the first Chinese female singer to perform at London's Royal Albert Hall and the third Chinese singer overall, after her mentor Roman Tam in 1979 and Eason Chan in 2010.
The venue itself is also lesser known and smaller, as the total full attendance in the 17 shows combined would not amount to half the capacity of Hong Kong Coliseum.
Although there had been Senates in both the First and Second Empires, these had not technically been legislative bodies, but rather advisory bodies on the model of the Roman Senate.
France's first experience with an upper house was under the Directory from 1795 to 1799, when the Council of Ancients was the upper chamber.
With the Restoration in 1814, a new Chamber of Peers was created, on the model of the British House of Lords.
At first it contained hereditary peers, but following the July Revolution of 1830, it became a body to which one was appointed for life.
The Second Republic returned to a unicameral system after 1848, but soon after the establishment of the Second Empire in 1852, a Senate was established as the upper chamber.
The President of the Senate, in addition to his duties as presiding officer of the upper house of parliament, is also, according to the Constitution of the Fifth Republic, first in line of succession in case of death or resignation of the president, thus becoming Acting President of the Republic until a new election can be held.
Alain Poher, the President of the French Senate, served as Acting President of France from 28 April until 20 June 1969 (between the resignation of President Charles de Gaulle and the installation of his elected successor President Georges Pompidou) and again from 3 April until 27 May 1974 (between the death of President Georges Pompidou and the installation of his elected successor President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing).
Okafor attended Bellaire High School in Bellaire, Texas and the University of Connecticut, where in 2004 he won a national championship.
Both of his parents are natives of Nigeria, and Emeka was the first member of his family born in the United States.
Okafor's family moved to Bartlesville, Oklahoma when he was young because his father worked for Phillips Petroleum Company, headquartered in Bartlesville.
Bellaire was 26–5 in that season, losing 56–42 in the third round of the 2001 UIL state playoffs, to Willowridge High School and future Texas standout T. J. Ford.
This game is particularly notable, however, because it featured five players who would go on to play in an NCAA Final Four (Bellaire had Lucas and Okafor, while Willowridge featured Ford, Oklahoma State's Ivan McFarlin and Duke's Daniel Ewing).
Okafor flew under the recruiting radar for much of his high school career, but by the end of his senior year, Okafor was receiving late interest from top programs and chose to accept a scholarship at the University of Connecticut, choosing the Huskies over Arkansas and Vanderbilt.
Okafor played for the University of Connecticut from 2001 to 2004 where he was teammates with Charlie Villanueva, Marcus Williams, Ben Gordon, Hilton Armstrong and Josh Boone, who all went on to play in the NBA.
He majored in finance during his time at Connecticut, and he graduated with honors after three years in May 2004 with a 3.8 GPA.
Although he was plagued by back problems for most of the 2003–04 season, Okafor led UConn to the program's second national title in six seasons.
In addition, Okafor led the nation in blocks that season and was also named National Defensive Player of the Year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
In light of his collegiate achievements, Okafor was made a member of the 2004 U.S. National Men's Basketball Team which represented the U.S. at the Olympics in Athens.
On February 5, 2007, he was inducted to the Husky Ring Of Honor at Gampel Pavilion on the University of Connecticut campus in Storrs during halftime of the men's basketball game against the Syracuse Orange as part of a ceremony which recognized personal accomplishments of 13 former players and 3 coaches.
On April 16, 2004, Okafor declared his eligibility for the 2004 NBA draft, giving up his one remaining year of college athletic eligibility.
On June 24, Okafor was selected second overall in the draft, becoming the first ever draft pick by the expansion Charlotte Bobcats.
The following day, he accepted an invitation to join the United States team for the 2004 Summer Olympics, which finished with the bronze medal in Athens.
The 2004–05 season was a successful campaign as Okafor coped well with the pressures of being the star rookie on an expansion franchise.
Highlights of the season included recording 19 straight double-doubles from November 21 through January 1, and finishing seventh among Eastern Conference forwards in NBA All-Star Game fan balloting with 408,082 votes, by far the highest number garnered by any rookie in 2005.
At the end of the season, Okafor beat out his friend and former college teammate and roommate, Chicago Bulls guard Ben Gordon, to win the NBA Rookie of the Year Award.
On June 24, 2005, the Bobcats picked up the option for the fourth year on Okafor's contract, as he quickly established himself as the face of the franchise, and a solid player for years to come.
Okafor finished his rookie season with 44.7% field goal percentage and per-game averages of 15.1 points, 10.9 rebounds (ranked 4th in the league), and 1.7 blocks.
It was this weight gain which he felt caused him to have trouble rehabbing his early season ankle injury and forced him to sit out most of the 2005–06 season with injuries to his ankle.
During the offseason he continued his tutorials with Hakeem Olajuwon, which he took up after his rookie season, and lost the 20 pounds which he had gained for his second season.
On December 29, 2006, in a home game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Emeka would record 22 points, 25 rebounds, and 4 blocks in over 51 minutes of play, in an epic 133–124 triple overtime victory.
On January 12, 2007, he would record an NBA season high ten blocks in a game against the New York Knicks.
In that game, he was one rebound away from recording the first ever triple-double in franchise history, finishing with 20 pts, 10 blocks, 9 rebounds, and 3 steals.
Prior to the start of the 2007–08 season, Okafor turned down a contract extension with the Charlotte Bobcats worth an estimated US$60 million over five years.
Despite feuding with head coach Sam Vincent throughout the season, Okafor still managed to average a double-double for the fourth consecutive season of his career.
Through tough negotiations the Bobcats and Okafor eventually reached an agreement on a six-year, $72 million deal, the largest in franchise history.
During the 2010–11 season, Okafor ended up making it to his first ever NBA playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Ultimately, the Hornets lost their first-round series 4-2, with Okafor having a decrease in points and rebounding averages throughout the six games.
On June 20, 2012, Okafor was traded, along with Trevor Ariza, to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Rashard Lewis and the 46th pick of the 2012 NBA draft.
Okafor went on to be named a finalist for the inaugural Twyman–Stokes Teammate of the Year Award for his contributions with the team on and off the court.
On October 25, 2013, days before the start of the 2013–14 season, Okafor was traded, along with a 2014 protected first-round draft pick, to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Marcin Gortat, Shannon Brown, Kendall Marshall and Malcolm Lee.
However, he missed the entire season due to a herniated disc in his neck that was discovered in September 2013, and remained unsigned throughout the 2014–15 season, the 2015–16 season, and the 2016–17 season.
Filling in for the injured DeMarcus Cousins, Okafor averaged 4.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1 block in 26 regular-season games, including 19 starts.
Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus on December 4, 2019, coming off from bench with a double-double of eleven points and twelve rebounds plus two assists and two blocks in a 60–65 loss to the Anyang KGC.
It is a tributary of the Little Tennessee River (and in turn the Tennessee River, Ohio River and Mississippi River), into which it flows near the county seat of Franklin.
It flows from Lake Sequoyah, which is fed by Mirror Lake and other creeks and streams originating on the western side of the Eastern Continental Divide, which runs through the east side of Highlands.
A two-lane highway called Mountain Waters Scenic Byway, which is the combined route of U.S. 64 and NC 28, runs through the Cullasaja Gorge, which is mostly protected as part of the Nantahala National Forest.
One of the largest and most important Cherokee towns, known as Nikwasi or Nucassee, was located at the confluence of Cullasaja River with the Little Tennessee River.
John Allan Jones (born January 14, 1938), known professionally as Jack Jones, is an American jazz and pop singer and actor.
Jones is primarily a straight-pop singer (even when he recorded contemporary material) whose forays into jazz are mostly of the big-band/swing variety.
While performing at a San Francisco nightclub, Jones was heard by Pete King, a producer and artist for Kapp Records, who quickly signed him to the label.
Young, handsome, and well-groomed, Jack Jones was an anomaly in the 1960s pop scene, eschewing rock-and-roll trends and opting for the big band sound, lush romantic ballads, and the Great American Songbook, although sometimes he recorded something more pop-, country-, or bossa nova-oriented.
Besides the choice of material, Jones worked with such arrangers as Billy May, Nelson Riddle, Marty Paich, Shorty Rogers, Jack Elliott, Ralph Carmichael, Bob Florence, Don Costa, and Pete King.
He began recording more contemporary material, including covers of such well-known songwriters as Randy Newman, Harry Nilsson, Carole King, Paul Williams, Richard Carpenter, Gordon Lightfoot, and Gilbert O'Sullivan.
Since 1980 he has recorded few albums, and now performs in various concert arenas, and occasionally appears on the supper-club circuit.
In March 2008 Jones celebrated his 70th birthday and a half-century in show business with a concert at the McCallum Theatre in Palm Springs.
In the second half of the 1960s, Jones had a well-publicized relationship with actress Jill St. John, and the two were briefly married.
The rock is approximately 15 meters in height, and its shape looks like a woman carrying a baby on her back.
According to a legend, the faithful wife of a fisherman climbed the hills every day, carrying her son, to watch for the return of her husband, not knowing he had been drowned at sea.
In reward for her faithfulness she was turned into a rock by the Goddess of the Sea so that her spirit could unite with that of her husband.
Angus Lewis Macdonald (August 10, 1890 – April 13, 1954), popularly known as 'Angus L.', was a Canadian lawyer, law professor and politician from Nova Scotia.
He served as the Liberal premier of Nova Scotia from 1933 to 1940, when he became the federal minister of defence for naval services.
In the election of 1945, his Liberals returned to power while their main rivals, the Conservatives, failed to win a single seat.
Under his leadership, the Nova Scotia government spent more than $100 million paving roads, building bridges, extending electrical transmission lines and improving public education.
However, he also faced the reality that the financially strapped Nova Scotia government could not afford to participate fully in federal relief programs that required matching contributions from the provinces.
He articulated a philosophy of provincial autonomy, arguing that poorer provinces needed a greater share of national tax revenues to pay for health, education and welfare.
He contended that Nova Scotians were victims of a national policy that protected the industries of Ontario and Quebec with steep tariffs forcing people to pay higher prices for manufactured goods.
It was no accident, Macdonald said, that Nova Scotia had gone from the richest province per capita before Canadian Confederation in 1867 to poorest by the 1930s.
He supported public ownership of utilities like the Nova Scotia Power Commission, but rejected calls for more interventionist policies such as government ownership of key industries or big loans to private companies.
Angus Lewis Macdonald was born August 10, 1890, on a small family farm at Dunvegan, Inverness County, on Cape Breton Island.
His mother was from a prominent Acadian family on Prince Edward Island and his maternal grandfather was politician Stanislaus Francis Perry.
He hoped to enroll next in the Bachelor of Arts program at St Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, but his family couldn't afford to pay for a university education so Macdonald obtained a teaching licence and taught for two years to finance his education.
He completed his final term on credit and was required to teach in the university's high school during 1914–15 to pay off his debt.
He played rugby, joined the debating team, edited the student newspaper and, in his graduating year, won the gold medal in seven of his eight courses.
In February 1916, he joined the 185th battalion, known as the Cape Breton Highlanders, leaving for Britain in October 1916 where he received further training.
Macdonald was finally sent to the front lines in France in May 1918 as a lieutenant in Nova Scotia's 25th battalion.
He participated in heavy fighting and on one occasion led his entire company because all of the other officers had been wounded or killed.
Macdonald felt fortunate to have been spared, but his luck ran out in Belgium when he was hit in the neck by a German sniper's bullet on November 7, 1918, just four days before the Armistice.
During his two years there, Macdonald formed lifelong friendships with students who were to become members of the political elite in the region.
Once again, he excelled in athletics, was elected to the Dalhousie students' council, became the associate editor of the student newspaper and led the opposition in the law school's Mock Parliament.
One former student describes him sitting at his desk on the rostrum speaking slowly and deliberately while gazing intently at the ceiling.
Biographer John Hawkins writes she eventually helped her husband win election in a Halifax riding with a significant Irish Catholic population.
In 1925–26, while teaching at the Dalhousie Law School, Macdonald took additional courses in law at Columbia University in New York, mainly by correspondence.
He used these courses as the basis for full-time graduate work at the Harvard Law School in Boston, Massachusetts in 1928.
At the same time however, he was increasingly drawn to politics and accepting the deanship would mean postponing his political ambitions indefinitely.
In the end, the job was offered to Sidney Smith, another prominent Canadian academic who accepted on condition that Macdonald remain at the school.
In the 1928 provincial election, the Liberals regained some of their lost popularity in one of the closest votes in Nova Scotia history.
Economic conditions worsened after the stock market crash of 1929 making it seem increasingly likely that the Liberals would return to power in the next election.
In a departure from tradition, the party's new leader would be chosen by convention delegates instead of Liberal caucus members at the legislature.
Surprised, Macdonald at first declined the nomination, then agreed to accept it when he sensed strong support on the convention floor.
When the legislature was in session, he led the Liberals from the public galleries because he had no seat in the House.
It was a message that struck a chord in the province that had been the first in Canada to achieve responsible government in 1848 thanks to the efforts of the great liberal Reformer Joseph Howe.
The governing Conservatives, desperate to avoid electoral defeat, had enacted changes requiring that new voters' lists be drawn up by government-appointed registrars immediately before each election.
The Liberals secured a court order requiring the appointment of additional registrars and some of the disenfranchised voters were finally added to the lists.
The so-called Franchise Scandal enabled the Liberal press to cast Macdonald as a latter-day Joe Howe, crusading for the rights of the people.
The scandal, compounded by suffering in the province due to the Great Depression, resulted in Macdonald's Liberals winning 22 of the 30 seats on August 22, 1933.
On his first day in office, Macdonald kept a key Liberal promise by bringing in old age pensions for elderly people in need.
Biographer Stephen Henderson writes that Macdonald sympathized with the poor, but he worried that direct government relief payments would undermine their pride and self-respect.
Even though direct relief might be cheaper, the Macdonald government preferred to hire the unemployed for public works projects such as paving roads.
The government financed such public works by selling low-interest bonds and raising gasoline taxes from six to eight cents a gallon.
At the time, there was no national system of unemployment insurance and the Bennett Conservatives insisted that the unemployed were mainly the responsibility of the provinces and municipalities.
Although the federal government did provide relief during the Depression, Nova Scotia and the two other Maritime provinces were hampered by the federal system of matching grants for relief programs.
Thus, the poorest provinces received less federal aid than the richer ones because they couldn't afford to match the federal grants.
Historian E. R. Forbes points out for example, that from January to May 1935, all three levels of government spent an average of $2.84 for each relief recipient in the Maritimes, an amount less than half the $6.18 spent in the other six provinces.
He asked it to recommend economic policies the province should follow to lessen the effects of the Depression and to lay out a framework for negotiations with the federal government.
The three-man Jones Commission included Harold Innis, a prominent economic historian who had studied disparities between highly developed manufacturing regions and marginal ones that depended primarily on exploiting natural resources.
It also argued that Ottawa should establish equity among provinces and that redistribution of federal tax revenues should be based on need, an idea that became central to Macdonald's thinking about federal-provincial relations.
Among other things, the Commission called on the Macdonald government to continue paving roads; to undertake a program of rural electrification to keep young people on family farms; and, to establish a professional civil service that would defend Nova Scotia's interests against federal bureaucrats in Ottawa.
But biographer Stephen Henderson writes that Macdonald went well beyond these practical steps to promote Nova Scotia as a beautiful and rustic place peopled by colourful Scots, Acadians, Germans and Mi'kmaq.
Macdonald also helped assemble more than a quarter of a million acres (4,000 km) for the Cape Breton Highlands National Park complete with a fancy resort hotel and world-class golf course.
Although Macdonald's governing Liberals and the opposition Conservatives agreed on the need to protect union rights, the parties vied with each other to take credit for the Trade Union Act.
In January 1937, Premier Macdonald carried a bottle of bootleg rum to a meeting with union officials in Sydney, Cape Breton where they gave him a draft bill based on the American National Labor Relations Act.
The legislation faced opposition from the Canadian Manufacturers' Association during public hearings, but Liberals and Conservatives combined to pass it unanimously.
In March 1937, Macdonald announced that after 14 years of running operating deficits, the Nova Scotia government had recorded a surplus with another forecast for the next year.
Macdonald promised the government would spend another $7.5 million on its popular road paving program overseen by A. S. MacMillan, the veteran Minister of Highways.
Biographer Stephen Henderson writes however, that Macdonald wanted to remain as premier so he could present Nova Scotia's case to a Royal Commission on federal-provincial relations.
Canada's poorer provinces found it impossible to cope with widespread poverty and hunger while the federal government resisted taking full responsibility for unemployment relief.
He called on the federal government to take full responsibility for social programs such as unemployment insurance, old-age pensions and mothers' allowances.
Macdonald recommended that the federal government be given exclusive jurisdiction over income taxes and succession duties to pay for these programs.
He argued however, that to maintain their independence, the provinces needed to collect indirect sources of revenue such as sales taxes.
His argument was based on the premise that richer provinces benefited from national economic policies such as high tariffs while poorer provinces were penalized by them.
Macdonald suggested that compensatory subsidies to poorer, less-populated provinces be based on need, not population, so that they could pay for government services available in other parts of the country without having to impose higher-than-average levels of taxation.
The provinces failed to agree on what should be done, but in April, the federal government went ahead on its own announcing it would levy steep taxes on personal and corporate incomes as a temporary measure to finance Canada's participation in the Second World War.
The death of his minister of defence in an air crash in June 1940 gave King an opportunity to reorganize his administration.
Ralston agreed but imposed two conditions: First that J. L. Ilsley of Nova Scotia replace him as minister of finance and second that he get assistance in his new portfolio.
King decided to appoint two additional ministers, one in charge of the Royal Canadian Air Force, the other to oversee the Royal Canadian Navy.
Macdonald, who had fought in World War I as a soldier on the front lines in France and Belgium, decided it was his duty to fight World War II as a political leader in Ottawa.
He handed over his responsibilities as premier to A. S. MacMillan and was sworn into the federal cabinet on July 12, 1940.
He oversaw a massive increase in Canada's naval forces and played a key role in a political crisis that threatened to tear the Liberal government and the country apart.
When he entered the federal cabinet in 1940, Macdonald seemed a likely candidate to replace the aging King and one day become prime minister himself.
When the Conservatives agreed not to run a candidate against him however, Macdonald had no choice but to stand for office in Kingston.
By the end of the war, the RCN had expanded by 50 times its original strength with about 400 fighting ships, almost 500 additional craft and about 96,000 men and women.
The RCN was assigned the task of escorting supply vessels transporting food and other materials needed to keep the war going.
This convoy duty was critically important as German submarines or U-boats sought to starve Britain into submission by sinking supply ships.
In the early part of the war, the Canadian navy lacked equipment that could detect underwater submarines as well as efficient radar for sighting ones on the surface.
Macdonald himself lacked military expertise and often depended on senior naval staff who kept him in the dark about equipment shortages and other problems.
Macdonald's conflict with high ranking naval officers, particularly Rear Admiral Percy W. Nelles, led to the effective dismissal of the latter in 1944.
Yet, as the war progressed, the RCN, led by Macdonald, gradually became more effective in protecting the huge cargoes of materials on which Allied victory depended.
Biographer Stephen Henderson maintains that Macdonald played a key role in the wartime conscription crises that beset the federal government in 1942, and again in 1944, as Prime Minister Mackenzie King tried to avoid imposing compulsory military service overseas.
A committed internationalist, he believed it unfair that some bore the sacrifices of overseas service while others escaped what he saw as their military obligations.
Macdonald realized however, that conscription was highly unpopular in French-speaking Quebec and that enforcing it would split the country at a time when national unity was crucial.
He also recognized that in the early years of the war, voluntary enlistment was producing enough recruits to meet the needs of the armed forces.
As the opposition Conservatives continued to press for overseas conscription, the King government held a national plebiscite on April 27, 1942.
Macdonald's two cabinet colleagues from Nova Scotia, defence minister J. L. Ralston, and finance minister J. L. Ilsley, urged the government to introduce conscription immediately.
A more cautious Macdonald wanted the government to commit itself to conscription should it be required to support the war effort.
Ralston wanted King to impose conscription, but at Macdonald's urging, seemed willing to compromise by going along with the prime minister's plan for one last voluntary recruitment campaign.
King himself seemed to recognize that if Macdonald had left, Ilsley would have resigned too, possibly taking other ministers with him and causing the government's collapse.
In the end, King was forced to impose overseas conscription after the failure of the voluntary recruitment campaign, but the war ended soon after and his government survived unscathed.
When Macdonald returned to Nova Scotia in 1945, he was only 55, but the silver-haired politician now seemed 20 years older.
Less than two months later, Macdonald's Liberals swept the province wiping out the Conservatives for the first time since Confederation and winning all but two Cape Breton ridings where voters elected members of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation or CCF, the forerunner of the present-day New Democratic Party, or NDP.
In spite of his huge victory, a close colleague noted that Macdonald was not the same man he had been before he left Nova Scotia in 1940.
He argued that in order to maintain their independence, provinces needed exclusive jurisdiction over such sources of revenue as gasoline, electricity and amusement taxes.
Macdonald urged the federal government to accept the 1940 recommendations of the Rowell-Sirois Commission and redistribute national wealth based on need.
Such a policy, he maintained, would enable poorer provinces to sustain government services available in other parts of the country without having to impose higher-than-average levels of taxation.
Aside from his role as a national spokesman for provincial rights, Macdonald presided over an administration that invested heavily in education.
His government financed the building of rural high schools and extended financial assistance to Dalhousie University's schools of medicine and law.
Macdonald also appointed Nova Scotia's first minister of education, Henry Hicks, in 1949 to oversee $7.6 million in spending, about a fifth of the provincial budget.
The Macdonald Liberals easily won re-election in 1949 and 1953, but the Conservatives made steady gains under Robert Stanfield, their new leader.
The Conservatives for example, drew attention to kickback schemes under which brewing companies, wineries and distilleries contributed to the Liberal party in exchange for the right to sell their products in government liquor stores.
However, Macdonald suffered a slight heart attack on April 11, 1954, and was admitted to hospital where he died in his sleep two nights later, just four months before his 64th birthday.
Macdonald's body lay in state for three days in the legislative building as more than 100,000 people filed past to pay their respects.
In the next provincial election held on October 30, 1956, Robert Stanfield and his Conservatives won 24 seats, the Liberals 18.
Like Howe, Macdonald was a passionate and eloquent leader whose elegantly crafted speeches reflected his wit, wide learning and respect for factual accuracy.
Macdonald's reputation as the premier who led the province out of the Great Depression rested on his commitment to ambitious government projects such as highway construction and rural electrification.
Two projects that he pushed especially hard for, the Canso Causeway linking Cape Breton Island to mainland Nova Scotia and a suspension bridge spanning Halifax Harbour were completed after his death.
The bridge, named in his honour, made it possible to travel between Halifax and Dartmouth without having to board a ferry or drive several kilometres around the Bedford Basin.
Macdonald consistently called for a more equitable redistribution of wealth, so that poorer provinces such as Nova Scotia, could share fully in Canada's prosperity.
Biographer Stephen Henderson writes that Macdonald deserves credit for the introduction, in 1957, of an equalization scheme designed to enable poorer provinces to provide comparable levels of services to their citizens.
Macdonald's advocacy of provincial autonomy however, fell victim to the centralizing tendencies of a post-war welfare state in which the federal government increasingly assumed greater control over national social programs.
He served as honorary chair and fundraiser for the university's centennial celebrations in 1953 and raised money to support student research into the early history of the Scots in Nova Scotia.
Thus, when the Angus L. Macdonald Library officially opened on July 17, 1965, 50 coats of arms representing both Scottish and Irish clans adorned the walls of its reading room.
Laurent Patrick Fignon (; 12 August 1960 – 31 August 2010) was a French professional road bicycle racer who won the Tour de France in 1983 and 1984 and the Giro d'Italia in 1989.
He nearly captured the Tour de France for a third time in 1989 before being edged by Greg LeMond by 8 seconds, the closest margin ever to decide the Tour.
He told his parents that he was leaving the university and would join the army at the end of the year to do his military service.
Fignon rode an early stage attempting to hold the wheel of Bernard Hinault, the top professional cyclist, and succeeded for much of the race.
After Fignon broke away in the second stage, he became the leader of the race, and got to wear the pink jersey.
Guimard did not want to send Fignon to the Tour de France, because two grand tours could be too much for a 22-year-old rider.
When Hinault, winner of four of the five previous Tours, announced that he would not start due to injury, the Renault team was without a leader.
Fignon was added to the 1983 Tour de France selection for the Renault team, and the team decided to go for stage wins, with hopes of having Fignon or Marc Madiot compete for the best debutant category.
After stage nine, the first mountain stage, Fignon was in second place, behind Pascal Simon, and he was allowed to be team leader.
On the fifteenth stage, a mountain time trial, Fignon was able to win back so much time that he was within one minute of Simon.
On the next stages, Fignon was able to answer all attacks from his opponents, and he even won the time trial on the 21st stage.
Fignon later said that he was lucky to have won the 1983 Tour: if Hinault had been present Fignon would have helped him, as Hinault was the team leader.
Early in his broadcasting career legendary broadcaster and former TDF rider Paul Sherwen referred to Fignon as an alternate version of his nickname during telecasts which into English approximately translates 'The Stern Professor'.
In 1984, Hinault moved to the new La Vie Claire team, established by the French entrepreneur Bernard Tapie and directed by Swiss coach Paul Koechli.
In the 1984 Giro d'Italia, Fignon was in the lead near the end of the race, with Italian Francesco Moser in second place.
In one of the more outrageous actions of a major tour, on the final stage, an individual time trial, camera helicopters flew in front of Fignon, creating a headwind, and behind Moser, creating a tailwind.
In the seventeenth stage, Hinault attacked five times on the penultimate climb, but every time Fignon was able to get back.
Coming into the 1985 season Fignon felt stronger than ever, but a knee injury caused him to miss the 1985 Tour.
In 1986 Fignon won La Flèche Wallonne and he entered the 1986 Tour de France, but placed poorly in the first individual time trial and retired on stage 12 to Pau.
Fignon returned to near his full strength in 1987, when he finished third in the 1987 Vuelta a España, behind Luis Herrera.
Later that year, he finished 7th overall in the 1987 Tour de France, taking another victory at La Plagne (stage 21).
In the 1989 Tour de France, 1988 winner Pedro Delgado was the big favourite, with Fignon, Stephen Roche, and Erik Breukink listed together as top contenders.
After Delgado inexplicably was nearly three minutes late for the start of the prologue time trial, the race was open to all contenders, and ended up a battle between Greg LeMond and Fignon.
Fignon came back by dropping LeMond on Alpe d'Huez, taking back the lead, and after he won alone at Villard-de-Lans the next day, the margin was 50 seconds.
Before the final stage, a short time trial of 24.5 km, the time difference between LeMond and Fignon was 50 seconds, a seemingly insurmountable amount.
To win, LeMond would have to take two seconds a kilometer on one of the fastest time trialists in the Tour.
Although it was considered unlikely that LeMond would be able to win back 50 seconds on the 24.5 km, LeMond gave his best, and rode the fastest time trial until 2015.
Fignon had developed saddle sores in stage 19, which gave him pain and made it impossible to sleep in the night before the time trial.
Fignon rode a very fast time trial, and came in third for the stage, but still ended up losing the overall lead to LeMond.
It was suggested afterwards that if Fignon had cut off his ponytail, the reduction in drag might have been sufficient for him to have won the Tour.
He often refused to smile for photographs, and at one point spat into the lens of a cameraman who asked for an interview.
Following this Fignon moved over to the Italian Gatorade team to act as co-captain and advisor to promising young talent Gianni Bugno.
After a dramatic 1992 Giro d'Italia, in which he was in heavy crisis during mountain stages, he rode his last Tour that same year, finishing 23rd overall.
The race saw an angered Fignon take his ninth stage win, holding off a series of attacks by Guimard's Castorama team before winning at Mulhouse during stage 11.
Fignon's last victory as professional cyclist was in the early-season Ruta Mexico in 1993, after a tight duel with Francisco Villalobos and surviving a massive collision that saw the group hit by a tow truck driven by a drunken man.
He was subsequently disqualified from the final result but claimed, in his autobiography, that the positive test was the result of a commercial dispute between two Belgian companies.
He noted major changes in the sport in the early 1990s with the onset of routine use of Human Growth Hormone and the blood-booster, EPO.
Fignon stated he was revolted by the idea of taking hormones to enhance performance, and the mere suggestion he refused out of hand.
He retired from competition in 1993 when he realized that cycling had changed, and that he no longer had a place in it.
On his relationships with Cyrille Guimard and Bernard Hinault, Fignon said that with Bernard Hinault, Guimard already found a champion, whereas with himself, Guimard made him a champion.
He noted that early in his career he had dabbled with recreational drugs, amphetamines and cortisone, but did not believe they played a role in his illness.
We talked about a lot of different things outside of cycling and I was fortunate to really get to know him when my career stopped.
I believe he was also one of the generation that was cut short in the early nineties because he was not able to fulfill the rest of his career.
The town, sometimes cited as the highest town in Wales, is situated at above sea level at the head of the South Wales Valleys.
At the 2001 Census 5.75% of the 16-65 age group spoke Welsh, but the proportion of children (ages 3–15) able to speak Welsh was much higher at 30.54%.
The town had the only Welsh-medium primary school, Ysgol Gymraeg Brynmawr, in Blaenau Gwent with 310 pupils ranging from nursery to year 6 until 2010, when the school re-located to a brand new, purpose-built building in Blaina.
The town centre's primary shopping areas are contained within Beaufort Street and on Market Square which is also the focal point of the town where many events are hosted.
The business community offers many traditional, family-orientated and independently run shops, such as Tutta Bella, Durbans Shoe repairs, Perfectday Bridal and many more.
Brynmawr is also home to many artisan food producers, such as the award-winning Miss Daisy's Kitchen, specialist vegan and gluten-free food producers Daddies Little Pickle, and the Little Dragon Pizza Van, who organise the annual Brynmawr Street Food Festival.
As of April 1, 2017 the Market Hall Cinema has been closed since November 2016 after Blaenau Gwent Council conducted a series of asbestos tests in the building.
Gordon played high school basketball for the Mount Vernon Knights, and helped lead the team to the 2000 New York State Public and Federation Championships.
As a freshman at UConn, Gordon ranked second on the team in scoring (12.6 ppg), despite coming off the bench for most of the season.
As a sophomore Gordon averaged a team-leading 19.5 points (which ranked 50th in the nation) and also led the Huskies with 156 total assists, which earned Gordon Second Team All-Big East honors.
In Gordon's junior and final year at UConn, he averaged a team-leading 20.5 points (again ranked 50th in the nation), 4.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists.
Following his junior year, Gordon declared himself eligible for the 2004 NBA draft and was selected third overall by the Chicago Bulls, one pick after the Charlotte Bobcats drafted his UConn teammate, Emeka Okafor.
Before the 2004 NBA draft, Gordon thought that he would be drafted anywhere from 7th to 12th, but as the draft got closer he claimed to have an inkling that the Bulls might draft him third as they did with Michael Jordan 20 years earlier in the 1984 NBA draft.
As we started getting closer and I started to get an inkling that the Bulls could be a team that I could end up playing for, I started to look at the numbers.
Gordon wore the number 4 on his jersey in high school and college, but had to wear the number 7 with the Bulls due to the number 4 being retired.
4 my whole career but, of course, Jerry Sloan already had that number beforehand so there wasn't much I could do about it.
Between Michael Jordan's departure in 1998 and Gordon's arrival in 2004, the Bulls did not win more than 30 games in a single season.
In his rookie year, Gordon helped lead a turnaround from a 3–14 start to finish 47–35 and secure the fourth seed in the playoffs.
In their first playoff appearance in the post-Jordan era, the Bulls (without Luol Deng) lost to the Washington Wizards in six games.
Gordon was also the NBA's Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month 3 times (January through to March), and was also voted onto the NBA All-Rookie First Team.
Gordon also had problems with turnovers (4.46 per 48 minutes; sixth in the league in 2004–05), however, and an overall lack of stamina in his rookie season.
Gordon also revealed that he was in the process of designing an energy drink called BG7, an allusion to his initials and jersey number.
The drink was made with white tea, which has a very high amount of antioxidants, and the most polyphenols of any tea.
In his sophomore campaign (2005–06), Gordon alternated between the starting lineup and bench for the Bulls, starting 47 games (mostly in the later half of the season) while coming off of the bench for 35.
Gordon was selected to play for the Sophomores in the Rookie Challenge held during the NBA All-Star Weekend, in which he scored 17 points.
On April 14, 2006, in a Bulls win over the Washington Wizards, Gordon tied the record for the most consecutive three-pointers made in a game with 9.
The Bulls returned to the playoffs but were again eliminated in the first round in six games; this time they lost to the Miami Heat, who went on to win the NBA Championship.
On March 4, 2007, Gordon established a career-high 48 points, leading a miraculous comeback effort to win 126–121 in overtime against the Milwaukee Bucks.
In the first round of the playoffs the Bulls again faced the Heat, but this time won the series in four games, becoming the first team in NBA history to sweep the defending champions in the first round.
They lost to the Detroit Pistons in the second round, but were able to force the series to six games after initially falling behind 3–0.
On the heels of their first playoff series win in nearly a decade, the Bulls entered the 2007–08 season with high expectations.
Prior to the season, Gordon and Deng both turned down offers for contract extensions, believing they could earn more in free agency.
The Bulls drafted Derrick Rose with their first overall pick in 2008, raising questions about how Gordon and Rose could coexist in Chicago's backcourt (both were score-first guards).
On October 1, 2008, Gordon finally accepted a one-year qualifying offer of $6.4 million after being unable to secure the contract that he was hoping for.
However Gordon and Rose developed chemistry playing with each other, and helped the Bulls finish the season on a 15–8 run to just qualify for the playoffs at 41–41.
Entering the playoffs as the seventh seed and matched with the defending champion Boston Celtics, critics and observers expected the Bulls to be swept.
However, in a series that featured the scoring exploits of Gordon (42 points in game 2) and Ray Allen (51 points in game 6), as well as five games decided by a single basket, the Bulls pushed the series to seven games before finally losing.
He scored 45 points to help bring Detroit back from a 25-point deficit, though they still lost to the Denver Nuggets 116–115.
On June 26, 2012, Gordon and a future first-round pick were traded to the Charlotte Bobcats in a deal that sent Corey Maggette to the Pistons.
On November 28, 2012, Gordon scored 20 points in the fourth quarter of an eventual 91–94 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
He finished with 26 points on 7-of-11 shooting, making 7-of-10 from beyond the arc, to go with 5 free throw attempts and makes.
On July 22, 2016, it was announced that Gordon would be selected for Great Britain's 24-man preliminary roster for the EuroBasket 2017 qualifiers.
Gordon made Great Britain's 12-man roster for the EuroBasket 2017 qualifiers, and during the qualification games, he averaged 9.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game.
In October 2017, Gordon was hospitalized for a psychiatric evaluation after an altercation with a female patron at a holistic wellness center in Mount Vernon, New York.
He was arrested once more on November 20, 2017 in Manhattan for punching the manager of an apartment complex, pulling a knife on him and robbing him of his security deposit.
54 by Dmitri Shostakovich was written in 1939, and first performed in Leningrad on 21 November 1939 by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra under Yevgeny Mravinsky.
On average, the first movement is 15–20 minutes long, the second movement is 4–6 minutes long, and the third movement is 5–7 minutes long.
This symphony is scored for piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, cor anglais, 3 clarinets (3rd doubling Eb clarinet), bass clarinet, 3 bassoons (3rd doubling contrabassoon), 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tambourine, tam-tam, xylophone, harp, celesta and strings.
In January 1939, he spoke about the Sixth Symphony in a radio address, with no mention of Lenin or any extramusical associations.
The musical character of the Sixth Symphony will differ from the mood and emotional tone of the Fifth Symphony, in which moments of tragedy and tension were characteristic.
6 took place in the Large Hall of the Leningrad Philharmonic in Leningrad by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra under Yevgeny Mravinsky—the same location and performers.
However, although a local critic lauded Shostakovich for further freeing himself from formalistic tendencies in his new symphony, the work was later criticised for its ungainly structure and the jarring juxtaposition of moods.
The Maytag Corporation is an American home and commercial appliance brand owned by Whirlpool Corporation after the April 2006 acquisition of Maytag.
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the company was one of the few to actually make a profit in successive years.
The company was able to beat the strike because of the intervention of four military companies, including a machine gun company, of the 113th Cavalry Regiment, Iowa National Guard.
In 1946, production of washing machines was resumed; in 1949, the first automatic washers were produced in a new, dedicated factory.
Maytag first entered the commercial laundry field at this time, manufacturing washers and dryers for commercial self-service laundries and commercial operators.
These included 'full-line' manufacturers such as Whirlpool, General Electric, and Frigidaire, who built not only washing machines and dryers, but also refrigerators, stoves, and other appliances.
Since Maytag was much smaller than the full-line producers, the company decided to limit itself to the manufacture of washers and dryers, alongside marketing ovens and refrigerators built by other companies, as a small, premium-brand manufacturer.
By 1960, Maytag had ceased marketing ovens and refrigerators, but later began once again to expand into kitchen appliances with its own design of portable kitchen dishwasher and a line of food-waste disposers.
Upon the death of Fred Maytag II, the last family member involved in the company's management, E. G. Higdon was named president of the company, with George M. Umbreit becoming chairman and CEO.
By the late 1970s, over 70 percent of U.S. households were equipped with washers and dryers, and with approximately 18,000 employees worldwide, the company was established as a dominant manufacturer of large laundry appliances.
After the company's acquisition of Magic Chef, Inc., in 1986, a move which nearly doubled its size, the company acquired a new corporate name, Maytag Corporation.
This was a huge setback for the amount of cash Maytag had in hand and thus started the downward spiral financially.
The Plastic tub was developed in Newton, Iowa, but in 1996 Engineering was transferred to Jackson because Mr. Len Hadley, then president of Maytag Corporation, wanted the plant to be self-sufficient.
Engineering crescendoed with a Double Drawer dishwasher which today is manufactured in Findlay Ohio at the Whirlpool Plant, the only Maytag legacy product built in the Whirlpool Appliance line-up.
Blodgett made ovens for Major Pizza companies at the time of this purchase Maytag was looking at the Turbo Chef line they had been working on up to this point.
That same year, Ralph F. Hake became the last chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of Maytag Corporation, serving in that post until March 2006.
Once renowned as the standard for laundry appliances, by 2003 the company faced increasing competition from new appliance brands in the US market, as well as from existing appliance manufacturers who had outsourced production a decade earlier in order to reduce costs.
While Maytag had begun the process of shifting appliance production to lower-cost assembly plants outside the United States, in 2004 the company was still producing 88 percent of its products in older U.S.-based factories.
In an apparent move away from traditional company marketing strategy, company management decided on a plan to stimulate consumer purchases of new Maytag appliances before their old ones had worn out.
Costs incurred in Maytag's acquisition and integration of Amana and an increased corporate debt load led to aggressive internal cost-cutting efforts in direct materials, manufacturing, and distribution costs.
To increase sales, the company also marketed Maytag-branded 'Legacy Series' washing machines that were otherwise identical to low-end Amana models, and built at the formerly Amana assembly plant in Herrin, Illinois.
An increasing chorus of consumer complaints concerning product reliability and customer service, assisted by the rapid growth of internet consumer forums, began to affect the company's reputation with customers.
By 2005, Maytag's market share had declined to all-time lows, sales were flat, and customer satisfaction surveys ranked Maytag near the bottom of the appliance field.
In 2005, Haier sought to expand its share of foreign markets by acquiring rival white-goods OEMs and by expanding overseas production capacity.
With backing from two large U.S. private equity funds, Haier made a bid to acquire U.S. appliance maker Maytag for $1.28 billion.
In May 2006, Whirlpool announced plans to close the former Maytag headquarters office in Newton, as well as laundry product manufacturing plants in Newton, Iowa; Herrin, Illinois; and Searcy, Arkansas by 2007.
Former Maytag chairman and CEO, Ralph F. Hake, received two years' base salary and two years' target bonus under his severance agreement.
On January 1, 2009, Maytag (under the ownership of the Whirlpool Corp.) changed the vested lifetime benefits of the Maytag retirees.
There is a lawsuit pending in the Southern District Court of Iowa where Whirlpool has asked for permission to change the UAW bargained benefits.
In major appliances, Maytag was among the top three companies in the North American market, offering a full line of washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, cooktops, refrigerators, and ranges under the Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Magic Chef brands.
Maytag sold multiple small appliances including a cordless iron under the Maytag brand, a mixer and blender under Jenn-Air, the company also sold the popular Skybox and Rookie home-vending products.
In floor care, Maytag owned the Hoover brand, the market leader in North America and the floor-care brand with the highest consumer recognition and buying preference.
In commercial products, Maytag owned Dixie-Narco, a leader in refrigerated soft drink and specialty vending machines as well as Jade cooking products and Amana commercial cooking products.
The corporation's export sales and marketing, licensing of brands, and international joint ventures was coordinated by Maytag International in Schaumburg, Illinois.
In 1988, DOMICOR was established as Maytag Corporation's international division and in 1992 became Maytag International, Inc. which eventually encompassed all of Maytag's worldwide ventures including Maytag Australia, Maytag Japan, Maytag Commercial (Mexico), and Maytag UK.
Maytag International, was based in Schaumburg, Illinois, handled the sales, licensing and business ventures of corporate appliances and floorcare brands in overseas markets as well as the administrative support for the international sales organization.
Maytag International was responsible for export sales and licensing of the corporation's appliances and floor care brands and joint ventures in overseas markets.
The main office is located in Chicago with major subsidiary offices in Burlington, Ontario (Canada), Monterrey (Mexico), Sydney (Australia), and London (England) and region sales offices in Beirut (Lebanon) and Yokohama (Japan).
As of 2008, Maytag, by this time a division of Whirlpool Corporation, had 14 manufacturing plants throughout the United States and Mexico.
The Hoover floor care plant in Canton, Ohio was sold to Techtronic Industries, and its Dixie-Narco vending machine plant in Williston, South Carolina was acquired by Crane Merchandising Systems.
In a time in which the laundry appliances of major manufacturers had reached maturity, differing mostly in minor details, the campaign was designed to remind consumers of the perceived added value in Maytag products derived from the brand's reputation for dependability.
Now if only he had something to do with his days.” The campaign proved a huge success, allowing Maytag to set a substantial price premium, as well as strongly influencing consumer preference at the higher end of the laundry appliance market.
Actor Hardy Rawls was hired to play Ol' Lonely after Jump's retirement in 2003, although he appeared only in print advertising and personal appearances.
On April 2, 2007, Maytag announced that Clay Earl Jackson of Richmond, Virginia had been selected to fill the role of Ol' Lonely.
Times were changing however, and events at Maytag and within the industry began to diminish the effectiveness of the long-lived Maytag- repairman campaign.
Consumer demand for innovative, expensive, and increasingly complex electronically controlled and computerized appliances, coupled with higher labor costs and complaints over Maytag product quality and service, influenced a decline in Maytag sales and profit margins.
But instead of commercials showing the repairman waiting around his shop for a Maytag appliance to break, he is playing the part of the actual appliance.
A stove is an enclosed space in which fuel is burned to heat either the space in which the stove is situated, or items placed on the heated stove.
There are many types of stoves, such as the kitchen stove, which is used to cook food, and the wood-burning stove or a coal stove, which is typically used for heating a dwelling.
Pellet stoves, for example, are a type of clean-burning stove, and air-tight stoves are another type that burn the wood more completely and therefore reduce the amount of the resulted combustion by-products.
Pottery and other cooking vessels may be placed directly on an open fire, but setting the vessel on a support, as simple as a base of three stones, resulted in a stove.
In some areas it developed into a U-shaped dried mud or brick enclosure with the opening in the front for fuel and air, sometimes with a second smaller hole at the rear.
Kitchen stoves rely on the application of direct heat for the cooking process and may also contain an oven underneath or to the side that is used for baking.
Traditionally these have been fueled by wood, and one of the earliest recorded instances of a wood-burning kitchen stove was the so-called stew stove (developed in 1735 by the French designer François de Cuvilliés and officially termed the Castrol Stove).
The most common stove for heating in the industrial world for almost a century and a half was the coal stove that burned coal.
Coal burns at a much higher temperature than wood, and coal stoves must be constructed to resist the high heat levels.
A coal stove can burn either wood or coal, but a wood stove might not burn coal unless a grate is supplied.
This is because coal stoves are fitted with a grate so allowing part of the combustion air to be admitted below the fire.
In free air, solid fuels burn at a temperature of only about , which is too low a temperature for perfect combustion reactions to occur, heat produced through convection is largely lost, smoke particles are evolved without being fully burned and the supply of combustion air cannot be readily controlled.
By enclosing the fire in a chamber and connecting it to a chimney, draft (draught) is generated pulling fresh air through the burning fuel.
This causes the temperature of combustion to rise to a point () where efficient combustion is achieved, the enclosure allows the ingress of air to be regulated and losses by convection are almost eliminated.
It also becomes possible, with ingenious design, to direct the flow of burned gasses inside the stove such that smoke particles are heated and destroyed.
This can represent a significant loss of heat as an open fireplace can pull away many cubic metres of heated air per hour.
Efficiency is generally regarded as the maximum heat output of a stove or fire, and is usually referred to by manufacturers as the difference between heat to the room and heat lost up the chimney.
Near the end of the 18th century, the design was refined by hanging the pots in holes through the top iron plate, thus improving heat efficiency even more.
Modern enclosed stoves are often built with a window to let out some light and to enable the user to view progress of the fire.
Due to its large thermal mass the captured heat is radiated over long periods of time without the need of constant firing, and the surface temperature is generally not dangerous to touch.
An early and famous example of a metal stove is the Franklin stove, said to have been invented by Benjamin Franklin in 1742.
It had a labyrinthine path for hot exhaust gases to escape, thus allowing heat to enter the room instead of going up the chimney.
His Rumford fireplace used one fire to heat several pots that were also hung into holes so that they could be heated from the sides, too.
It would take another 30 years until the technology had been refined and the size of the iron stove been reduced enough for domestic use.
In the following years, these iron stoves evolved into specialised cooking appliances with flue pipes connected to the chimney, oven holes, and installations for heating water.
The originally open holes into which the pots were hung were now covered with concentric iron rings on which the pots were placed.
The largest strides have been made in innovations for biomass burning stoves, such as the wood-burning stoves used in many of the most populous countries.
These new designs address the fundamental problem that wood and other biomass fires inefficiently consume large amounts of fuel to produce relatively small amounts of heat, while producing fumes that cause significant indoor and environmental pollutants.
Increases in efficiency mean that a stove's users can spend less time gathering wood or other fuels, suffer less emphysema and other lung diseases prevalent in smoke-filled homes, while reducing deforestation and air pollution.
The shelled dry kernel of corn, also called a corn pellet, creates as much heat as a wood pellet, but generates more ash.
A pellet stove is a type of clean-burning stove that uses small, biological fuel pellets which are renewable and very clean-burning.
There are more than half a million homes in North America using pellet stoves for heat, and probably a similar number in Europe.
Other efficient stoves are based on Top Lit updraft (T-LUD) or wood gas or smoke burner stove, a principle applied and made popular by Dr. Thomas Reed, which use small pieces of sticks, chips of wood or shavings, leaves, etc., as fuel.
The efficiency is very high — up to 50 percent — as compared to traditional stoves that are 5 to 15 percent efficient on average.
An air-tight stove is a wood-burning stove designed to burn solid fuel, traditionally wood, in a controlled fashion so as to provide for efficient and controlled fuel use, and the benefits of stable heating or cooking temperatures.
They are made of sheet metal, consisting of a drum-like combustion chamber with airflow openings that can be open and shut, and a chimney of a metre or more length.
Most modern air-tight stoves feature a damper at the stove's outlet that can be closed to force the exhaust through an after burner at the top of the stove, a heated chamber in which the combustion process continues.
Some air-tight stoves feature a catalytic converter, a platinum grid placed at the stove outlet to burn remaining fuel that has not been combusted, as gases burn at a much lower temperature in the presence of platinum.
Using an air-tight stove initially requires leaving the damper and air vents open until a bed of coals has been formed.
It also provides for regulation of the intensity of fire by limiting air flow, and for the fire to create a strong draught or draw up the chimney.
Since 2015, the Phase III EPA Woodstove Regulations in the United States require that all wood stoves being manufactured limit particulate emission to 4.5 grams per hour for stoves with after burners or 2.5 grams per hour for stoves with catalytic converters.
The burn temperature in modern stoves can increase to the point where secondary and complete combustion of the fuel takes place.
A properly fired masonry heater has little or no particulate pollution in the exhaust and does not contribute to the buildup of creosote in the heater flues or the chimney.
This is largely achieved through causing the maximum amount of material to combust, which results in a net efficiency of 60 to 70%, as contrasted to less than 30% for an open fireplace.
Net efficiency is defined as the amount of heat energy transferred to the room compared to the amount contained in the wood, minus any amount central heating must work to compensate for airflow problems.
Cook stoves in common use around the world, particularly in Third World countries, are considered fire hazards and worse: according to the World Health Organization, a million and a half people die each year from indoor smoke inhalation caused by faulty stoves.
Other engineering societies (see Envirofit International, Colorado, US) and philanthropic groups (see the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, California) continue to research and promote improved cook stove designs.
A focus on research and development on improved heating stoves is ongoing and was on display at the 2013 Wood Stove Decathlon in Washington, D.C.
He is a two-time winner of the Tour de France and known for ending the reign of five-time Tour champion Eddy Merckx, though both feats are tarnished by Thévenet's later admission of steroids use during his career.
Thévenet was born to a farming family in Saône-et-Loire in Burgundy and lived in a hamlet called Le Guidon (The Handlebar).
It was there in 1961 that he saw the Tour de France for the first time, on a 123 km stage from Nevers to Lyon.
His first adult bike, not a racing machine but a sporty cross between a racer and a touring bike, came as a present for passing school examinations at 14.
His parents needed him on the farm too much to be keen on his racing, but they knew their son's ambitions.
Thévenet had left to train with a friend, Michel Rameau, and his mother got a message to him at Rameau's house.
Thévenet won a mountain stage ending at the ski resort of La Mongie, most of the way up the Tourmalet in the Pyrenees.
As he began to regain his memory, he looked down at his own Peugeot jersey and wondered whether he might be a cyclist.
In the 1973 Tour, he finished second, behind Luis Ocaña, but in 1974 he was forced to abandon the Tour on Stage 11 due to illness.
Merckx, who was suffering back pain from a punch by a spectator, fought back but lost the lead and never regained it.
Thévenet - who had taken the climb on the larger chainring - went on to win the Tour, which that year finished on the Champs-Élysées for the first time.
Several months later Thévenet lined up for the 1978 Tour de France but had to abandon the second mountain stage in an ambulance.
He left the Peugeot cycling team after 1979 and signed for the Spanish team Teka, where he won two races and a six days race with the Australian rider Danny Clark.
He returned to a French team in his final year, 1981, where he won a stage in the Circuit de la Sarthe.
When a journalist at the radio station France Inter wondered aloud if Thévenet's repeated poor performances might be due to doping, Thévenet and his team-mates refused to talk to the station.
Thévenet became directeur sportif in 1984 of the La Redoute team of Stephen Roche, then of RMO in 1986 and 1987.
He was asked whether it was hard being a racing cyclist; his reply was that being a French farmer was harder.
Thévenet became race director of the Critérium du Dauphiné in 2010 after the organisation of the race was taken over by the Amaury Sport Organisation.
From its inception, the city evolved rapidly as one of the most progressive and important centers of commerce in the country, due primarily to its rich soil and its proximity to the border with Colombia.
The legislative branch is represented by the Municipal Council, composed of seven councillors, charged with the deliberation of new decrees and local laws.
As throughout the Andean states, the people of Táchira are characterized as hardworking, cordial, conservative, and devoted to their historical, religious, and folkloric traditions.
Other important industrial sectors which have helped fuel the economic engines of the region include meat production (cattle), manufacturing industries like shoe, basket, and ceramics production.
A fact that perhaps is not widely known is that it was in Táchira State, and not in Zulia State, that the first oil wells were excavated in 1875(located in the Petrolea sector close to Rubio)-- a procedure done in those days by hand and with buckets.
There are many branches of national banks located in the city, and it is the headquarters of an important financial institutions Sofitasa (bank of private investment).
This bank is an important economic engine of the local economy because they help to finance many project in the region.
In the dairy industry, Leche Táchira is one of the most consolidated industries in the country; this company is based in San Cristobal.
The wedding cake and modernist architectural styles are particularly evident in the façades of the Universidad Nacional Abierta and La Casa Antigua, a Spanish style building with various ornaments and sculptures.
Among the most notable churches are La Iglesia El Angel, the Gothic styled church San José, and the El Santuario Church.
Airport Juan Vicente Gómez of San Antonio, Airport Mayor Buenaventura Vivas of Santo Domingo del Táchira and International Airport of La Fria.
There is a bus terminal located just below the La Concordia neighborhood of San Cristóbal where buses, taxis, and other vehicles arrive and depart daily.
One of the most celebrated festivities which attracts visitors from all over is the Feria Internacional de San Sebastián held annually at Pueblo Nuevo next to Táchira state football club's grounds.
This fair, which occurs at the end of January, combines bullfighting festivities with a myriad of sport activities such as the Vuelta al Táchira, a bicycle race, artistic festivals, agricultural fairs, and many other spectacles.
Places to visit in and around San Cristóbal include all the squares and parks around the city, the enchanting colonial town of San Pedro del Río and Peribeca.
Other interesting towns are Palmira and Abejales, above the town of Tariba, famous for their sugar cane baskets, and the town of El Topón, a typical agricultural town.
A leafy square home to music shops, imported clothing retailers, Mini malls, nightclubs, eateries, ice-cream parlours, pool halls, Internet cafés, and small music venues, Plaza de los Mangos has become a busy hub for youth life.
On a small offshoot road on the Plaza's north-eastern corner, a small Virgin Mary figure is housed under a protruding old tree branch, a branch once used for public hangings; the date of the last hanging varies with who you ask.
It is the highest point in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire and the historic West Riding of Yorkshire with the summit lying on the county border with Cumbria.
There is a right of way footpath running from the east at Ribblehead that heads north via Smithy Hill and Grain Ings before turning west to Knoutberry Haw and then south to Whernside itself.
From the summit the right of way heads initially south, then steeply southeast down a stepped path to the area known as Bruntscar.
If climbed as part of the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge (which is normally done anti-clockwise) Whernside will be climbed following the route up from Ribblehead to descend to Bruntscar.
A path heads directly west from the triangulation pillar to reach the road that is Deepdale Lane near White Shaw Moss.
An alternative route heads directly north across Knoutberry Haw to pass Whernside Tarns and reaches the Craven Way at Boot of the Wold.
Following the southern descent for , instead of turning steeply southeast towards Bruntscar a path continues south running adjacent the wall passing Combe Scar and West Fell to reach the limestone pavements at Ewe's Top.
Finally, south of the triangulation pillar an old route (partly fenced off) descends (initially very steeply) for to reach a road southwest of Winterscales Farm, this is the old route of the Three Peaks Challenge.
Walkers should select this route with care as it is no longer maintained, boggy, badly eroded and requires extreme care over the steep ascent/descent.
A walk solely around Whernside starting at the junction of the Blea Moor and Gauber roads near the Station Inn at Ribblehead, to the top of Whernside and back via the bridleway from Bruntscar via the farms at Broadrake, Ivescar, Winterscales and Gunnerfleet (or the footpath from Blea Moor Sidings) is a distance of roughly .
On a clear day the views from the summit to the west can be spectacular, with views of the Lake District and Morecambe Bay, including (with the aid of binoculars) Blackpool Tower, some away.
Superjoint, formerly known as Superjoint Ritual, was an American heavy metal band formed by Phil Anselmo, Joe Fazzio, and Jimmy Bower in the early 1990s, later to be joined by Hank Williams III, and Kevin Bond.
They were founded by Anselmo parallel to his membership in Pantera, but became a full-time endeavor a few years later after Pantera's dissolution.
Despite their early 1990s establishment, it was not until a decade later, after the folding of Pantera, that the group recorded any albums.
A dispute between Anselmo and Fazzio led to the band's eventual split in late 2004, which was confirmed by both Hank Williams III and Jimmy Bower.
Hank Williams III was initially supposed to take part in this first reunion show, but had to bow out due to personal issues.
In an interview in June 2019, Anselmo mentioned that he was no longer interested in playing with Superjoint, once again ending the band.
It is one of the Yorkshire Three Peaks (the other two being Whernside and Pen-y-ghent), and is frequently climbed as part of the Three Peaks walk.
On a small relatively flat area just below the top of Ingleborough the remains of an old walled enclosure have been discovered, containing the foundations of Iron Age huts.
Ingleborough is in the south-western corner of the Yorkshire Dales, at the highest point of a triangle of land with corners at Ingleton, Ribblehead and Settle.
The hill is connected to its nearest higher neighbour, Whernside, by a low col or mountain pass at Ribblehead at approximately .
Ingleborough throws out a ridge to the north-east which develops into a summit, Simon Fell, and another summit further down, Park Fell.
An ill-defined ridge going south-east from the summit breaks into two large areas of limestone plateau at about ; both plateaux contain summits and these are the subsidiary summits of Norber and Moughton.
On the other side of the divide the low summit of Smearsett Scar rises along with its subsidiaries, Pot Scar and Giggleswick Scar; from here the land falls away to the River Ribble at Settle.
The plateau is bounded by Raven Scar, the longest unbroken cliff in the district, and on top of it is the pothole of Meregill Hole.
On the southern side (west of the Clapham path) is a similar plateau, containing potholes such as Fluted Hole and Pillar Hole.
The plateau to the north of Norber, an area known as The Allotment, is particularly rich in potholes; one of these, Long Kin East, can be followed without specialist caving equipment for .
The Smearsett Scar region contains the Celtic Wall, the Ebbing and Flowing Well (which has now stopped ebbing and flowing) and a glacial hollow known as the Happy Valley.
The route follows a walled lane, Fell Lane, before emerging onto a flat area, Crina Bottom, scattered with potholes including the considerable Quaking Pot.
The hill may also be climbed from Horton in Ribblesdale to the east, following a route crossing extensive areas of limestone pavement in the region of Sulber Nick.
This is the route of descent of the Three Peaks Walk and has been heavily improved by the National Trust, having changed in just thirty years from no path at all to a serious example of footpath erosion.
There is also a route from Clapham that follows the Ingleborough Estate nature trail, before passing the Craven Fault, the showcave of Ingleborough Cave, the ravine of Trow Gill and the pothole of Gaping Gill.
It then crosses a marshy area and climbs up to the shoulder of Little Ingleborough before following the ridge to the summit.
The return to Clapham can be varied by taking the Horton-in-Ribblesdale path for before striking south through more limestone pavement to the small top of Norber; a descent past the famed Norber erratics (Norber Boulders) finishes a walk of that Wainwright considered the finest walk in the Yorkshire Dales.
An alternative route from the south-west side of the triangle starts at Newby Cote, roughly a mile northwest of Clapham on the minor road heading towards Ingleton.
There is a northern route from the Hill Inn at Chapel-le-Dale, the route of ascent used by the Three Peaks Walk and the shortest way up the mountain, being just from village to summit.
An interesting walk across a limestone plateau with many caves, including Great Douk Cave and Meregill Hole, is followed by a steep and tedious climb to the shoulder of the subsidiary summit of Simon Fell at , a mile to the north-east of the summit.
Finally there are unwaymarked routes heading NE across Simon Fell and Souther Scales Fell both of which reach a steep descent just beyond the triangulation pillar on Park Fell to reach the Right of Way at New Close.
The summit is a broad plateau half a mile in circumference, slightly convex, higher to the north-west than to the south-east, and carpeted with dry turf.
Just to the north is a well-built windshelter (cross-shaped to provide shelter whichever way the wind is blowing) with a view indicator or toposcope built into its centre.
At the point where the Ingleton path reaches the summit rim is an even larger cairn; this, remarkably, is the remains of a battlemented round tower (a hospice), built in 1830.
The celebrations on the day of its opening ceremony became so alcoholic, however, that parts of it were thrown down there and then, the rest being destroyed later.
Along the northern and eastern edges of the plateau are the tumbled remains of a wall, once believed to have been a Roman military camp but now known to be an Iron Age hill fort.
The hill fort, which covers and of which the defensive wall can still be seen although much robbed for stone, contains the remains of several hut circles.
It is now thought that this was in fact Celtic, built by the Brigantes, the largest amalgamation of tribes in Iron Age Britain.
It may be that this was a base for Venutius after his 'divorce' from Cartimandua, the Brigantes Queen who was a supporter of the Roman invaders, unlike Venutius who led several rebellions.
What we do know is that this fort was used all year, which was unusual for such a location, but at the time of the Romans the climate was much milder, the Romans for example cultivating grapes in Newcastle.
The striking appearance of Ingleborough from all directions and from a great distance is due to the unusual geology of the underlying rock.
The base of the mountain is composed of ancient Silurian and Ordovician rocks which are exposed in the valley bottoms to the north of Ingleton.
Due to the limestone's permeability, all the streams flowing down from the mountain are engulfed upon reaching it, falling into a number of potholes.
Above lies the layered Yoredale Series of sedimentary rocks, predominantly shale and sandstone, and generally concealed by the peat but revealed in the escarpments about up.
There are also layers of harder limestone sandwiched between the softer rocks which have been eroded faster, and which protect the layers beneath them, leading to the 'tiered' effect.
Important mountain peaks visible from Ingleborough are listed here, clockwise from north, with their distance in miles and bearing in degrees.
Thus it might mean simply 'Head of the Winds', though this is quite unlike any other hill name in the Brythonic languages (Welsh, Cornish, Breton).
The summit acts as a watershed with water flowing east into the River Skirfare and on through to the Humber Estuary, and water flowing west dropping into the River Ribble, to ultimately flow into the Irish Sea.
The distinctive rakes that adorn the hillside (particularly on the western edge of Pen-y-Ghent) were revealed during a great storm in July 1881.
Hull Pot Beck rises on the western side of Plover Hill and flows into Hull Pot, which is the largest natural hole in England.
The water then flows under Horton Moor before re-appearing just east of Horton in Ribblesdale as Brants Ghyll Beck, where it flows into the River Ribble.
This is said to have first been noted when a sheep wash was undertaken in one stream thereby making it muddy, and oaks being dropped into the other stream and both having exited into the Ribble without mixing together.
The Pennine Way links the summit to the village; the route is around in length as the Way curves initially to the north before turning east to reach the summit.
The more direct route that traverses the southern 'nose' of the hill is the route usually taken by those attempting the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, as the walk is usually (but not exclusively) done in an anti-clockwise direction starting and finishing in Horton in Ribblesdale.
The other main hillwalking route on the hill heads north from the summit to reach Plover Hill before descending to join Foxup Road, a bridleway at the head of Littondale.
The alto saxophone, also referred to as the alto sax, is a member of the saxophone family of woodwind instruments invented by Belgian instrument designer Adolphe Sax in the 1840s, and patented in 1846.
The alto sax is the most common saxophone and is commonly used in concert bands, chamber music, solo repertoire, military bands, marching bands, and jazz (such as big bands, jazz combos, swing music).
Influential jazz musicians who made significant contributions include Don Redman, Jimmy Dorsey, Johnny Hodges, Benny Carter, Charlie Parker, Sonny Stitt, Lee Konitz, Jackie McLean, Phil Woods, Art Pepper, Paul Desmond, and Cannonball Adderley.
Although the role of the alto saxophone in classical music has been limited, influential performers include Marcel Mule, Sigurd Raschèr, Jean-Marie Londeix, Eugene Rousseau, and Frederick L. Hemke.
The range of the alto saxophone is from concert D (the D below F—see Scientific pitch notation) to concert A (or A on altos with a high F key).
The saxophone's altissimo register is more difficult to control than that of other woodwinds and is usually only expected from advanced players.
Some of the most prominent jazz alto saxophonists Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderley, Kenny Garrett, Paul Desmond, Benny Carter, Eric Dolphy, Ornette Coleman, Bobby Watson, Marshall Allen, Julius Hemphill, Oliver Lake, Anthony Braxton, Henry Threadgill, Carlos Ward, David Sanborn, Tom Scott, Paquito D'Rivera, John Zorn, Tim Berne, Steve Wilson, Steve Coleman, Greg Osby, Kenny Garrett, Vincent Herring, and Mark Gross and Jeff Coffin.
Other prominent classical alto saxophonists include Timothy McAllister, Jean-Yves Fourmeau, Lawrence Gwozdz, Donald Sinta, Harvey Pittel, Larry Teal, Kenneth Tse, Arno Bornkamp, Harry White, Otis Murphy, Claude Delangle.
New alto saxophones range in price between €250 ($281.05) for lower quality student models to over €6000 ($6745.20) for professional models.
It would be Jones's most distinguished screen portrayal in which, under the direction of James Whale, he displayed fine dramatic acting ability, as well as his obvious singing talent.
Jones died of lung cancer at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City in June 1992, at the age of 84.
A repeating rifle, or repeater for short, is a single-barrel rifle capable of repeated discharges following a single ammunition reload, typically by having multiple cartridges stored in a magazine (within or attached to the gun) and then fed into the chamber by the bolt via either a manual or automatic mechanism, while the act of chambering the rifle typically also recocks the action for the following shot.
Repeating rifles were a significant advance over the preceding single-shot breechloading rifles when used for military combat, as they allowed a much greater rate of fire.
Repeating rifles saw use in the American Civil War during the early 1860s, and the first repeating air rifle to see military service was the Windbüchse Rifle.
Even though the revolver mechanism was fine for pistols, it posed a problem with long guns: without special sealing details, the cylinder produces a gas discharge close to the face when the weapon is fired from the shoulder, as was a common approach with rifles.
Although most falling-blocks were single-shot actions, some early repeaters used this design, notably the Norwegian Krag–Petersson and the U. S. Spencer rifle.
In a classic lever-action firearm of the Henry-Winchester type, rounds are individually loaded into a tubular magazine parallel to and below the barrel.
Later lever-action designs, such as Marlin leverguns and those designed for Winchester by John Browning, use one or two vertical locking blocks instead of a toggle-link.
This weapon had a swinging lever beneath its barrel that was actuated by a gas bleed in the barrel, unlocking the breech to reload.
With a pump-action firearm, the action is operated by a movable fore-end that the shooter moves backwards and forwards to eject a spent round, and extract and chamber a fresh round of ammunition.
This style of rifle is still popular with some local law enforcement branches as a rifle that is easy to train officers who are already familiar with the pump shotgun.
The bolt is a mechanism that is operated by hand to extract a fired cartridge, move a fresh round into the chamber and reset the firing pin, readying the weapon to fire again.
A spring at the bottom of the magazine pushes up the reserve rounds, positioning the topmost between the bolt and the chamber at the base of the barrel.
Pushing the bolt lever forward chambers this round and pushing the lever into the notch locks the bolt and enables the trigger mechanism.
The Mauser rifle of the late 19th and early 20th centuries is the most famous of the bolt action types, with most similar weapons derived from this pioneering design, such as the M1903 Springfield and the Karabiner 98 Kurz rifle (abbreviated often as Kar98k or simply K98).
In many small arms, the round is fired while the bolt is still travelling forward, and the bolt does not open until this forward momentum is overcome.
Other methods involve delaying the opening until two rollers have been forced back into recesses in the receiver in which the bolt is carried.
Simple blowback action is simple and inexpensive to manufacture, but is limited in the power it can handle, so it is seen on small caliber weapons such as machine pistols and submachine guns.
Lever-delayed blowback, as seen in for example the French FAMAS assault rifle, can also handle more powerful cartridges but is more complicated and expensive to manufacture.
In long-recoil actions, such as the Browning Auto-5 shotgun, the barrel and breechblock remain locked for the full recoil travel, and separate on the return; in short-recoil actions, typical of most semiautomatic handguns (e.g.
In a gas-operated mechanism, a portion of the gases propelling the bullet from the barrel are extracted and used to operate a piston.
The motion of this piston in turn unlocks and operates the bolt, which performs extraction of the spent cartridge and via spring action readies the next round.
Irene Hervey (born Beulah Irene Herwick; July 11, 1909December 20, 1998) was an American film, stage, and television actress who appeared in over fifty films and numerous television series spanning her five-decade career.
A native of Los Angeles, Hervey was trained in her youth by British stage and film actress Emma Dunn, a friend of her mother.
Hervey died on December 20, 1998 at the age of 89 from heart failure at the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles.
For her contribution to the motion picture industry, Hervey has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6336 Hollywood Boulevard.
The Little Tennessee River is a tributary of the Tennessee River that flows through the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, in the southeastern United States.
It drains portions of three national forests— Chattahoochee, Nantahala, and Cherokee— and provides the southwestern boundary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The river flows through five major impoundments: Fontana Dam, Cheoah Dam, Calderwood Dam, Chilhowee Dam, and Tellico Dam, and one smaller impoundment, Porters Bend Dam.
After flowing north through the mountains past Dillard into southwestern North Carolina, it is joined by the Cullasaja River at Franklin.
The lower river is impounded several places by sequential dams, some created as part of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) system; they form a string of reservoirs in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee down to the river's confluence with the Tennessee.
Near the state line between North Carolina and Tennessee, the Little Tennessee River is impounded by the Fontana Dam, completed in 1944, forming Fontana Lake along the southern boundary of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Some water is also diverted from the nearby Santeetlah Dam on the Cheoah River to power another hydroelectric generator at the Santeetlah Powerhouse.
Chilhowee, Calderwood, and Cheoah Dams and the Santeetlah Powerhouse were originally built by Alcoa to power the aluminum plant at Alcoa, Tennessee.
To ensure efficiency in operation, Alcoa coordinates the operation of its hydro system with TVA, making sure that reservoir and river water levels are safe for recreational use (primarily boating and fishing) and that proper flows of water continue down the river.
The dam does not have its own hydroelectric generators but serves to increase the flow through those at nearby Fort Loudoun Dam on the Tennessee by means of a canal which diverts much of the flow of the Little Tennessee.
The plan to build the dam was the subject of environmental controversy during the 1970s regarding the snail darter, an endangered species.
The Little Tennessee River and its immediate watershed comprise one of the richest archaeological areas in the southeastern United States, containing substantial habitation sites dating back to as early as 7,500 B.C.
sites along the river include the Icehouse Bottom and the Rose Island sites, both located near the river's confluence with the Tellico River.
These sites were probably semi-permanent base camps, the inhabitants of which may have sought the chert deposits on the bluffs above the river which they used to create tools.
- 1000 A.D.) habitation has been uncovered at numerous sites along the Little Tennessee, most notably at Icehouse Bottom, Rose Island, Calloway Island (near the river's confluence with Toqua Creek), Thirty Acre Island (near the river's confluence with Nine Mile Creek) and Bacon Bend (between Toqua and Citico Beach).
Pottery fragments uncovered at Icehouse Bottom in the 1970s show evidence of interaction with the Hopewell people of what is now Ohio.
Mississippian period (c. 1000-1500 A.D.) sites in the Little Tennessee Valley include the Toqua site (at the river's confluence with Toqua Creek), Tomotley (adjacent to Toqua), Citico (at the river's Citico Creek confluence), and Bussell Island (at the mouth of the river).
The river was also home to most of the major Overhill Cherokee towns, the most prominent of which included Chota, Tanasi, Toqua, Tomotley, Mialoquo (near Rose Island), Chilhowee (at the river's Abrams Creek confluence), Tallassee (near modern Calderwood), Citico, and Tuskegee (adjacent to Fort Loudoun).
Euro-American traders were visiting the Overhill towns along the Little Tennessee by the late 17th century, and there is some evidence that Hernando De Soto and Juan Pardo passed through the Little Tennessee Valley in 1540 and 1567, respectively.
Two early American sites are located along the Little Tennessee— the Tellico Blockhouse, an outpost at the river's Nine Mile Creek confluence, and Morganton, a river port and ferry town near modern Greenback that thrived in the early 19th century.

Ernest Howard Armstrong, (July 27, 1864 – February 15, 1946) was a Canadian politician and journalist who served as the ninth Premier of Nova Scotia from 1923 to 1925.
In 1892, he moved to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia where he held the office of vice and deputy United States Consul from 1894 to 1906.
He was elected to the town council in 1900 and was the mayor of Yarmouth from 1904 to 1906 when he won a seat in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly.
He joined the cabinet of Liberal Premier George H. Murray in 1911 serving as minister of public works and then as minister of mines.
Armstrong was unable to overcome the effects of a serious economic downturn in the region, underestimated the strength of the Maritime Rights Movement and the feelings of alienation among Nova Scotians and also mishandled labour unrest in Cape Breton all of which led to the defeat of his government in the 1925 election.

He is best known for making what is generally considered the first widely reported modern unidentified flying object sighting in the United States, after claiming to have seen nine unusual objects flying in tandem near Mount Rainier, Washington on June 24, 1947.
Arnold began Great Western Fire Control Supply in Boise, Idaho in 1940, a company that sold and installed fire suppression systems, a job that took him around the Pacific Northwest.
Arnold was regarded as a skilled and experienced pilot, with over 9,000 total flying hours, almost half of which were devoted to Search and Rescue Mercy Flyer efforts.
After his UFO sighting, Arnold became a minor celebrity, and for about a decade thereafter, he was somewhat involved in interviewing other UFO witnesses or contactees.
His daughter Kim would however explain later that this merely implied his belief in questioning dogma and his support for independent decision making.
In her view his belief in a divine creator caused him to defend the authenticity of his sighting of June 24, 1947, until his death.
The actual CallAir A-2 airplane which Kenneth Arnold was piloting when he made his famous UFO sighting back in 1947 still exists.
Stanley Anthony Coveleski (born Stanislaus Kowalewski, July 13, 1889 – March 20, 1984) was an American right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for four American League (AL) teams between and , primarily the Cleveland Indians.
The star of the Indians pitching staff, he won over 20 games each year from the epidemic-shortened 1918 season through 1921, leading the AL in shutouts twice and in strikeouts and earned run average (ERA) once each during his nine years with the club.
The star of the 1920 World Series, he led the Indians to their first championship with three complete-game victories, including a 3–0 shutout in the Game 7 finale.
Traded to the Washington Senators after the 1924 season, he helped that club to its second AL pennant in a row with 20 victories against only 5 losses, including a 13-game winning streak, while again leading the league in ERA.
But after making his debut with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1912, he was sidetracked by three more seasons in the minor leagues before joining the Indians in 1916, and won only thirteen major league games before turning 27.
It was legal when his career began but prohibited in 1920, with Coveleski being one of 17 pitchers permitted to continue throwing the pitch.
In 450 career games, Coveleski pitched 3,082 innings and posted a record of 215–142, with 224 complete games, 38 shutouts, and a 2.89 ERA.
He set Cleveland records of 172 wins, 2,502⅓ innings and 305 starts, which were later broken by Mel Harder and Willis Hudlin.
Stanislaus Anthony Kowalewski was born in Shamokin, Pennsylvania, one of eight children of Anthony (1845–1929) and Ann (Racicz) Kowalewski (1850–1919), who had immigrated from Russian Poland in the early 1870s.
They settled in Shamokin, where Anthony worked as a coal miner, in Northumberland County, east of the Susquehanna River and northeast of the state capital of Harrisburg.
In addition to his older brother, Harry (1886–1950), who pitched in the major leagues between 1907 and 1918, their other brothers Frank and John also played professional baseball, but only in the minor leagues.
Nevertheless, he worked on his pitching skills during the evenings, when he threw stones at a tin can placed 50 feet away.
When he was 18 years old, Coveleski's abilities caught the attention of the local semi-professional ball club, which invited him to pitch for them.
Coveleski signed his first professional contract in 1909 with the minor league Lancaster Red Roses, a club affiliated with the Tri-State League.
Originally reluctant to sign for the club, he only agreed to do so if his older brother John also joined; at that time he anglicized his name, changing it to Coveleskie, which it would remain throughout his professional career.
In 272 innings of work his first season, Coveleski had a 23–11 win-loss record with an earned run average of 1.95.
In 1912, he pitched for the relocated Lancaster team, the Atlantic City Lanks, where he had a 20–14 record with a 2.53 ERA in 40 appearances, 30 of them starts.
In September 1912, manager Connie Mack signed him to a contract with the Philadelphia Athletics and brought him to the major leagues.
By the time Coveleski made his debut for the Athletics on September 10, pitching one inning in relief in an 8–6 road loss to the Detroit Tigers, the two-time defending World Series champions were more than a dozen games out of first place – the only year between 1910 and 1914 they failed to win the pennant.
Coveleski won his first game two days later in his first start, a 3–0 three-hit shutout of the Tigers, allowing only two singles and a double by Ty Cobb.
He pitched in five games for the Athletics that season, starting two of them and finishing the season with a 2–1 record and a 3.43 ERA.
After the season ended, Mack felt that Coveleski needed more seasoning, and sent him to the Spokane Indians of the Northwestern League.
Around that time, he married Mary Stivetts, and the following season he went 20–15, pitched over 300 innings, and led the league in strikeouts.
At the time of his debut, the powerhouse Philadelphia club boasted a strong group of talented pitchers, including Eddie Plank, Chief Bender, and Jack Coombs.
After the 1914 season, the Portland Beavers of the Pacific Coast League wanted Coveleski, and traded five players to Spokane to acquire him.
While Mack had an agreement with Spokane that Coveleski would be promoted after playing there for a time, the Athletics fell under new ownership in 1913 and lost control of him due to the Athletics' rights expiring.
Due to an injury to Ed Klepfer, the Indians used him as a starter early on in the 1916 season, and kept him in the role when he performed well.
He was scheduled to pitch in the first week of the season against his brother Harry, but the matchup never took place at Harry's behest.
On May 30, Coveleski hit the only home run of his career in the first game of a road doubleheader against the St. Louis Browns; the three-run shot in the tenth inning gave Cleveland a 4–1 lead, but the Browns came back to win 5–4 in 15 innings.
Coveleski fought health problems during the season, suffering from tonsillitis in the middle of the year and pitching one game with a fever of .
Coveleski had lost 10 pounds due to illness during 1916, but recovered during the offseason, gained 20 pounds, and appeared healthier by the time the season began.
Coveleski's status as the ace of the staff was demonstrated when he was named the starter for Opening Day of the 1917 season; he beat the Detroit Tigers 6–4 on April 11.
He improved statistically during the 1917 season, winning 19 games and losing 14 with an ERA of 1.81 and a career-high 133 strikeouts.
On September 19, Coveleski pitched the only one-hitter of his career, a 2–0 road win over the New York Yankees; the only hit came from Fritz Maisel in the seventh inning.
Coveleski continued to improve during the 1918 season, which was ended on September 1 due to the late-summer surge of the Spanish flu pandemic.
His outings that year included 2–1 13-inning road loss to Philadelphia on May 15, in which he had a career-high ten strikeouts, and a 19-inning complete game on May 24 in New York as the Indians won 3–2.
He finished the season with a 22–13 record, a 1.82 ERA, and 311 innings pitched in 38 games, 33 of them starts; his wins and ERA were both second in the American League to Walter Johnson.
He won his first seven starting appearances of the season, but on May 28 his wife died suddenly, and he was given some time off to mourn, returning to pitching two weeks later.
Covaleski was the starting pitcher against the Yankees on August 16, and hit a sacrifice fly to help the Indians win 4–3, but it is best remembered as the game in which a pitch by the Yankees' Carl Mays hit Indians shortstop Ray Chapman in the head, resulting in the only death in major league history.
Covaleski finished the 1920 regular season with 24 wins, 14 losses, a 2.49 ERA, and 133 strikeouts; he led the AL in strikeouts and finished second in ERA to Bob Shawkey.
In Game 7, the final one of the best-of-nine series, Coveleski threw a complete game shutout with five hits against fellow spitballer Burleigh Grimes; the 3–0 victory gave the Indians the first World Series championship in franchise history.
After spending the offseason hunting with Smoky Joe Wood, Coveleski returned to the Indians in 1921, and throughout the season, the Indians battled the Yankees for first in the American League.
On September 26, the two teams faced off, but Coveleski failed to make it past the third inning; the Yankees won 8–7 to ensure they won the pennant.
Coveleski pitched 315 innings in 1921, matching his career high from the year before, and had a 23–13 record and a 3.37 ERA.
While he did cause the Yankees to move out of first place after winning an August 23 game against them, 4–1, it was his last game of the season.
He finished the year with a 17–14 record, the first time since 1917 he did not have 20 wins, and a 3.32 ERA.
Early on in the 1923 season, Coveleski pitched 27 straight scoreless innings between April 22 and 30, starting with a 10-inning 1–0 shutout of the Tigers and ending when he allowed two runs in the ninth inning of a 4–2 road win over the same club.
On June 16 he broke Addie Joss' club record of 160 wins with a 2–1 complete-game win over the Yankees, with the winning run scoring with two out in the bottom of the ninth on second baseman Ernie Johnson's error, with Coveleski batting; he had tied Joss' record two days earlier with a relief win in an 11-inning victory over the Boston Red Sox.
In his last appearance on September 22, he gave up a career-high ten runs in a 10–4 loss to the Yankees, ending the season with a 15–16 record and a 4.04 ERA.
In December 1924, after nine years pitching for Cleveland, Coveleski was traded to the Washington Senators for pitcher By Speece and outfielder Carr Smith.
Due to the acquisition of Coveleski, combined with winning the 1924 World Series, the Washington Senators were considered favorites to win the AL in 1925.
During his first season in Washington, Coveleski bounced back from his 1924 season, and by mid-July, critics regarded his success as the biggest surprise in baseball; Cleveland had considered him to be past his best.
The Senators won the AL and were to face the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1925 World Series, but Coveleski suffered from sore back muscles late in the season.
In Game 2, he faced Vic Aldridge in a pitcher's duel; the teams were tied at one apiece in the eighth inning, but a two-run home run by the Pirates' Kiki Cuyler led to a 3–2 loss.
Aldridge and Coveleski faced off again in Game 5, but Coveleski allowed four runs before being pulled with one out in the seventh inning, leading to a 6–3 Pirates win.
The Senators lost the series in seven games, and he finished with a 3.77 ERA, five walks, three strikeouts, and two of the Senators' four losses.
His performances that season included his 200th win, a 5–3 win in Cleveland on June 10, and a 2–0 victory against the Boston Red Sox on August 31, a game which was finished in only 78 minutes.
To start the 1927 season, due to an injury to Walter Johnson, Coveleski became the Senators' Opening Day starter against the Red Sox; he won the game 6–2.
Coveleski failed to regain his form, however, pitching his last game on August 3, and after the signing of Tom Zachary, manager Miller Huggins released Coveleski.
He became a popular member of the community in South Bend, providing free pitching lessons to local youths in a field behind his garage.
His health declined in later years, and he was eventually admitted to a local nursing home, where he died on March 20, 1984, at the age of 94.
In addition to Coveleski's induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame, he was inducted into the National Polish-American Sports Hall of Fame in 1976.
Coveleski had 215 wins and 142 losses with a 2.89 ERA in 450 games, 385 of them starts, in a 14-year career.
He never considered himself a strikeout pitcher, and it was not unusual for him to pitch a complete game having thrown 95 pitches or less.
An abstract is a brief summary of a research article, thesis, review, conference proceeding, or any in-depth analysis of a particular subject and is often used to help the reader quickly ascertain the paper's purpose.
When used, an abstract always appears at the beginning of a manuscript or typescript, acting as the point-of-entry for any given academic paper or patent application.
As such, an abstract is used by many organizations as the basis for selecting research that is proposed for presentation in the form of a poster, platform/oral presentation or workshop presentation at an academic conference.
Full texts of scientific papers must often be purchased because of copyright and/or publisher fees and therefore the abstract is a significant selling point for the reprint or electronic form of the full text.
The abstract can convey the main results and conclusions of a scientific article but the full text article must be consulted for details of the methodology, the full experimental results, and a critical discussion of the interpretations and conclusions.
An abstract allows one to sift through copious numbers of papers for ones in which the researcher can have more confidence that they will be relevant to his or her research.
It is generally agreed that one must not base reference citations on the abstract alone, but the content of an entire paper.
It may also contain brief references, although some publications' standard style omits references from the abstract, reserving them for the article body (which, by definition, treats the same topics but in more depth).
Typical length ranges from 100 to 500 words, but very rarely more than a page and occasionally just a few words.
Abstracts are typically sectioned logically as an overview of what appears in the paper, with any of the following subheadings: Background, Introduction, Objectives, Methods, Results, Conclusions.
It has recently been observed that a significant number of calves become permanently separated from their mothers during chases by tuna vessels.
A study of the hydrodynamics of drafting, initiated inmechanisms causing the separation of mothers and calves during fishing-related activities, is reported here.
First, the so-called Bernoulli suction, which stems from the fact that the local pressure drops in areas of high speed, results in an attractive force between mother and calf.
Second is the displacement effect, in which the motion of the mother causes the water in front to move forwards and radially outwards, and water behind the body to move forwards to replace the animal's mass.
Utilizing these effects, the neonate can gain up to 90% of the thrust needed to move alongside the mother at speeds of up to 2.4 m/s.
A theoretical analysis, backed by observations of free-swimming dolphin schools, indicates that hydrodynamic interactions with mothers play an important role in enabling dolphin calves to keep up with rapidly moving adult school members.
The informative abstract, also known as the complete abstract, is a compendious summary of a paper's substance and its background, purpose, methodology, results, and conclusion.
The descriptive abstract, also known as the limited abstract or the indicative abstract, provides a description of what the paper covers without delving into its substance.
During the late 2000s, due to the influence of computer storage and retrieval systems such as the Internet, some scientific publications, primarily those published by Elsevier, started including graphical abstracts alongside the text abstracts.
It is not intended to be as exhaustive a summary as the text abstract, rather it is supposed to indicate the type, scope, and technical coverage of the article at a glance.
Many scientific publishers currently encourage authors to supplement their articles with graphical abstracts, in the hope that such a convenient visual summary will facilitate readers with a clearer outline of papers that are of interest and will result in improved overall visibility of the respective publication.
However, the validity of this assumption has not been thoroughly studied, and a recent study statistically comparing publications with or without graphical abstracts with regard to several output parameters reflecting visibility failed to demonstrate an effectiveness of graphical abstracts for attracting attention to scientific publications.
Mary Lou Finlay (born 1947) is a Canadian radio and television journalist, best known for hosting various programs on CBC Radio and CBC Television.
For three years she did writing and researching for the Canadian War Museum before her leap to journalism when she began hosting a CBC Ottawa television magazine.
After the program's first year, Frum remained as sole host and Finlay became a documentary reporter, remaining with the program until 1988.
She retired following her last appearance on November 30, 2005, which was a tribute show for Finlay celebrating her years with the CBC.
Returning from New York, she participated in the 1932 fleet problems before commencing gunnery exercises in the San Pedro-San Diego area.
During the winter of 1933, she steamed for Hawaii, returning after exercises to San Pedro where she became a schoolship for anti-aircraft (AA) training.
For the next two years, she operated off the West Coast, participating in the 1936 and 1937 fleet problems, making good will calls at Latin American ports and undergoing local training operations.
There she joined Task Force 17 (TF 17) and steamed from San Diego on 6 January 1942, for Samoa, landing troops there on 22 January.
Her first offensive operation of the war came on her return trip when she took part in carrier plane raids on 1–2 February on the Gilbert and Marshall Islands.
Early in March she joined TF 119, a carrier force, and began operations to stem the Japanese advance down the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomons.
On 31 May, she steamed for the Aleutians to join TF 8 to counter the enemy forces expected to be in the area.
On 11 November, the cruiser departed San Francisco for Pearl Harbor, continuing, after a few days on to the South Pacific, escorting several troop transports as far as New Caledonia.
There, as a unit of TF 16, the cruiser covered the assault and occupation of Attu (11–30 May) and participated In the pre-invasion bombardment of Kiska in July.
Like her sister ships her forward mast was cut down and her aft mainmast was removed and replaced with a lighter tripod just aft of the second funnel.
The 1.1 in AA cannon mounts were removed and replaced with several quad 40 mm Bofors mounts along with numerous 20 mm cannon.
Then the cruiser turned her guns on the airfield and troop concentrations on Roi and Namur on the southern tip of the atoll, contributing to the conquest of those islands by 3 February.
On 25 October 1944, she was in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, participating in the last engagement of a battleline as the Japanese southern force attempted to force its way into Leyte Gulf through Surigao Strait.
Admiral Oldendorf deployed the American battleline across the strait and PT boats and destroyers on either side of the narrow body of water, defeating the Japanese ships as they passed through the strait.
2 main battery 8-inch 55 caliber gun knocking it completely out of commission killing one man with 17 injured/burned including Captain Rex LeGrande Hicks.
Rear Admiral Theodore E. Chandler, commander of Cruiser Division 4 (CruDiv 4) was fatally injured helping the sailors man handle the fire hoses to put out the massive flames during the latter attack, and died of his wounds the following day.
Despite extensive damage, the cruiser shelled the beaches and shot down several enemy planes before withdrawing on 9 January 1945 and proceeding to Mare Island Navy Yard for repairs.
From Darien, where the evacuation of Allied prisoners of war was supervised, she steamed to Tsingtao, where Japanese vessels in that area were surrendered by Vice Admiral Kaneko.
In mid-October, she joined the Yellow Sea force for abbreviated service before proceeding, via San Pedro, to Philadelphia, where she decommissioned on 17 June 1946 and entered the Atlantic Reserve Fleet.
After sitting for over a decade, it was taken to the Nevada Test Site and converted into a rotating radiation detector, to collect data on nuclear tests.
The Travis Walton UFO incident was an alleged alien abduction of an American forestry worker, Travis Walton, by a UFO on November 5, 1975, while he was working in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests near Snowflake, Arizona.
According to Walton, on November 5, 1975 he was working with a timber stand improvement crew in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Snowflake, Arizona.
While riding in a truck with six of his coworkers, they encountered a saucer-shaped object hovering over the ground approximately 110 feet away, making a high-pitched buzz.
Walton claims that after he left the truck and approached the object, a beam of light suddenly appeared from the craft and knocked him unconscious.
He claimed that he fought with them until a human wearing a helmet led Walton to another room, where he blacked out as three other humans put a clear plastic mask over his face.
Walton has claimed he remembers nothing else until he found himself walking along a highway, with the flying saucer departing above him.
One of the best-known entertainers in Las Vegas, Nevada, he is known by the nicknames The Midnight Idol, Mr. Las Vegas and Mr. Entertainment.
When his father was serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, Newton spent his early years in Roanoke, learning the piano, guitar, and steel guitar at age six.
Because of Newton's severe asthma, his family moved to Phoenix in 1952, where he left North High School just before finishing his junior year.
Many prominent entertainment icons such as Lucille Ball, Bobby Darin, Danny Thomas, George Burns, and Jack Benny lent Newton their support.
After his job with Benny ended, Newton was offered a job to open for another comic at the Flamingo Hotel, but Newton asked for, and was given, a headline act.
From 1980 through 1982, The Beach Boys and The Grass Roots performed Independence Day concerts on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., attracting large crowds.
However, in April 1983, James G. Watt, President Ronald Reagan's Secretary of the Interior, banned Independence Day concerts on the Mall by such groups.
Watt then announced that Newton, a friend and supporter of President Reagan and a contributor to Republican Party political campaigns, would perform at the Mall's 1983 Independence Day celebration.
Newton entered the Independence Day stage on the Mall on July 4, 1983, to mostly cheering members of the audience, but some members booed.
This marked the first and only time in history that a record hit #1 on the Cashbox Top 100 chart, yet failed even to chart on Billboard's Hot 100.
In 1999, Newton signed a 10-year deal with the Stardust, calling for him to perform there 40 weeks out of the year for six shows a week in a showroom named after him.
In 2005, in preparation for the eventual demolition of the casino, the deal was, from all reports, amicably terminated; Newton began a 30-show stint that summer at the Hilton.
During a break in his on stage performance, he announced to the crowd that night he wanted to spend more time with his wife and new daughter as the main reasonings for canceling the contract.
News crews were expecting this performance to end on time, to make their 10 pm and 11 pm shows, but the show finally ended around 11:30 pm, thus eliminating the possibility.
Mr. Las Vegas went on at 7:30 that night, and sang nearly his entire repertoire and songs of other Vegas mainstays as well.
However, in 1993, Newton first told the story on Late Night with Conan O'Brien but disclosed that he actually had slapped Carson, a detail he would leave out of the King interview 14 years later.
A year later he took a 5-year hiatus to spend time with his family and prepare his voice for a future Las Vegas residency.
After performing more than 30,000 shows on the Las Vegas strip, Newton is scheduled to perform a number of shows celebrating his 60th year of performing in Las Vegas.
His Arabian horse breeding program, located at his Casa de Shenandoah ranch, is called Aramus Arabians, and has produced six generations of horses, breeding over 700 foals, with 96 champions .
He bought his first horse when he sold his bicycle and his parents' movie camera to buy a foal when he was a sixth-grader.
He first came to the attention of Arabian breeders in 1969 when he partnered with Tom Chauncey, an Arabian breeder and television station owner, to purchase the stallion *Naborr from the estate of Anne McCormick.
He continues to be directly involved in management of his horses, planning the breeding program for his horses, determining which to keep and which to sell, and even assisting his ranch staff during foaling season.
The asterisk * before the name of an Arabian horse is an AHBA notation, no longer used, that indicates that the horse was foaled outside of the United States and imported to the U.S.
From 1980 to 1982 Newton was part owner of the Aladdin Hotel, in a partnership that led to a number of lawsuits and a failed attempt by Newton to purchase the entire hotel in 1983.
In 1992, Newton filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to reorganize an estimated $20 million in debts, much of which was accumulated while suing NBC for libel; he claimed the network had reported that he partnered with the Mafia to buy the Aladdin.
In August 2005, the IRS filed a lawsuit against Newton alleging that he and his wife owed more than $1.8 million in taxes and penalties.
In late 2009, officials at Oakland County International Airport in Waterford, Michigan, claimed Newton owed the airport more than $60,000 for unpaid parking fees, which they claimed he owed after having abandoned a $2 million Fokker F28 plane there more than three years before.
In a 2009 lawsuit, Newton was accused of failing to pay $32,384 for hay delivered to his Las Vegas ranch, presumably for consumption by his horses at the ranch.
As of February 27, 2010, the lawsuit was still pending in Clark County District Court, with Newton and his attorneys having filed no response in court.
In February 2010, Bruton Smith sued Newton, claiming he was delinquent on a loan he had personally guaranteed, then bought from Bank of America.
Also in February 2010, Clark County sheriff's deputies and a fleet of moving vans were refused entry to Newton's ranch at E. Sunset and S. Pecos roads.
The officers attempted to serve civil papers and seize property as part of a $501,388 judgment against Newton awarded to Monty Ward, his former personal pilot, but security personnel employed by Newton refused to accept the papers.
Ward, who filed suit in 2006, won the judgment for past-due wages in January 2009 and since then had attempted to determine the wages of Newton when he performed at the MGM Grand and later the Tropicana hotel-casino.
In this lawsuit, a developer claimed he purchased Newton's home and paid the singer $19.5 million, with the understanding that Newton would move out and allow the property to be converted into a museum.
The developer claimed that he had invested $50 million on the project, but that Newton had failed to move out and had deliberately thwarted construction efforts, including by sexually harassing construction workers.
On December 17, 2012, U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Bruce Markell approved the sale of Wayne Newton's estate, Casa de Shenandoah, to be listed for sale by Nathan and Associates, a Las Vegas brokerage firm.
The property remained on the market, until 2015, when Newton reached an accord with Lacy Harber, the businessman who owned 70% of the corporation that had purchased Casa de Shenandoah to turn it into a museum.
Newton and his family moved back into the property, and in September 2015, after construction of a museum to house memorabilia, it was opened for public tours.
The road serving the main terminal of McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas is named Wayne Newton Boulevard in his honor.
Clone High (occasionally referred to in the U.S. as Clone High U.S.A.) is a Canadian–American adult animated sitcom created by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Bill Lawrence.
Lord and Miller first developed the series' concept while at Dartmouth College in the 1990s, later pitching it to executives at American network Fox Broadcasting Company, who ultimately decided to pass on the program.
It became embroiled in a controversy regarding its depiction of Gandhi soon afterward, which prompted hundreds in India to mount a hunger strike in response.
The school is entirely populated by the clones of famous historical figures that have been created and raised with the intent of having their various strengths and abilities harnessed by the United States military.
Much of the plot of the show revolves around the attempts of Abe to woo the vain and promiscuous clone of Cleopatra, while being oblivious to the fact that his friend Joan of Arc is attracted to him.
While the clones derive many character qualities from their ancestors, much of the humor in the show comes from the large contrast between the personality of the clones and the actual values and legacy of the historical figures they are descended from.
For instance, Gandhi is portrayed as a hyperactive jerk-with-a-heart-of-gold whose biggest dream is to be accepted by those around him, in contrast to his historical legacy of calm nonviolence.
Other references seen are the flag at The Grassy Knoll being permanently at half mast and the car on the roof of the diner containing the original JFK's body leaning over the edge.
There are pictures of assassinations hanging on the walls of the restaurant, such as the famous of the Lincoln assassination (though this version is in color and considerably more graphic than the original print).
The genetic ancestors of all of the five main clones died of similarly irregular causes: three assassinations, one execution and one suicide.
Episodes center on various social issues, including Gandhi being shunned by his school for having ADD (because of misinformation about the disorder), parodying shows which tackle AIDS awareness (it even included a special guest celebrity who tries to educate the students).
Miller initially developed the show's premise while in college, initially imagining the clones would be at a university rather than high school.
It was originally pitched to the Fox Broadcasting Company, who purchased the show immediately but ultimately decided not to order it to series.
All the original character designs were much different from what they would become even though the characters kept the same physical attributes and appearance.
Things that aren't expected are funnier: If an anvil's going to fall on your head, it had better not take more than three seconds.
Miller would later recall that executives at MTV enjoyed the show, and asked for the duo to pitch a second season without Gandhi.
Lord and Miller's two potential versions of a second season included one that made no mention of Gandhi's absence, and another that revealed that the character was, in fact, a clone of actor Gary Coleman all along, and the show continued as normal.
Of these include Alkaline Trio, American Football, Ritalin, Catch 22, Ilya, The Gentleman, Drex, Taking Back Sunday, The Stereo, Jo Davidson, Saves the Day, Hot Rod Circuit, Thursday, Helicopter Helicopter, Owen, Dashboard Confessional, Elf Power, Abandoned Pools, The Get Up Kids, Mink Lungs, Mates of State, Snapcase, The Mooney Suzuki, Jon DeRosa, Ephemera, Jinnrall, Avoid One Thing, DJ Cellulitis, DJ Piccolo, Whippersnapper, Matt Pond PA, Mad City and Bumblefoot.
The series' other background music and original score was written and produced by Scott Nickoley and Jamie Dunlap of Mad City Productions.
Hoppity Hooper is an American animated television series produced by Jay Ward, and sponsored by General Mills, originally broadcast on ABC on September 26, 1964.
The series was produced in Hollywood by Jay Ward and Bill Scott, with animation done in Mexico City by Gamma Productions.
The three main characters were Hoppity Hooper, a plucky frog, voiced by Chris Allen; Waldo P. Wigglesworth, a patent medicine-hawking fox, voiced by Hans Conried, who posed as Hoppity's long-lost uncle in the pilot episode; and Fillmore, a bear wearing Civil War clothes and (poorly) playing his bugle, voiced by Bill Scott (with Alan Reed portraying the character in the pilot).
The stories revolved around the three main characters, who lived in Foggy Bog, Wisconsin, seeking their fortune together through different jobs or schemes, usually ending in misadventure.
Each story consisted of four short cartoons, one aired at the beginning and end of each episode, with the four-part story shown over two consecutive episodes.
With two exceptions (as noted), each story line consisted of four episodes (or four shorts – making 27 stories told over 104 segments).
Volume One was released on DVD in the 2000s (the copyrights for each of these three releases were in question at the time of their respective releases).
Perelman was born in Brooklyn, New York, the only son of Joseph and Sophie Perelman, who moved from one failed business to another until they found themselves raising chickens on a farm and running a dry-goods store in Providence, Rhode Island.
Perelman wrote many brief, humorous descriptions of his travels for various magazines, and of his travails on his Pennsylvania farm, all of which were collected into books.
Reynolds) was unsuccessful, and throughout his life he was resentful that authors who wrote in the full-length form of novels received more literary respect (and financial success) than short-form authors like himself even as he openly admired British humorist P.G.
Sometimes he gleaned an apparently off-hand phrase from a newspaper article or magazine advertisement and then write a brief, satiric play or sketch inspired by that phrase.
...), Perelman composed a series of imaginary letters that might have been exchanged in 1903 between an angry Pandit Nehru in India and a sly Parisian laundryman about the condition of his laundered underwear.
He would take a common word or phrase and change its meaning completely within the context of what he was writing, generally in the direction of the ridiculous.
He stated that as a young man he heavily was influenced by James Joyce and Flann O'Brien, particularly his wordplay, obscure words and references, metaphors, irony, parody, paradox, symbols, free associations, clang associations, non-sequiturs, and sense of the ridiculous.
All these elements infused Perelman's writings but his style was precise, clear, and the very opposite of Joycean stream of consciousness.
Woody Allen has in turn admitted to being influenced by Perelman and recently has written tributes in very much the same style.
The two once happened to have dinner at the same restaurant, and when the elder humorist sent his compliments, the younger comedian mistook it for a joke.
Keillor's 'Jack Schmidt, Arts Administrator' is a parody of Perelman's classic 'Farewell, My Lovely Appetizer', itself a parody of the Raymond Chandler school of tough, amorous 'private-eye' crime fiction.
Perelman wrote at least five original plays produced on Broadway from 1932 to 1963, two as collaborators with his wife Laura.
In 1929 at the age of 25 he married the 18-year-old sister of his school friend Nathanael West, Laura West (née Lorraine Weinstein).
His son Adam (born in 1936) committed several robberies in the mid 1950s, was accused of attempted rape, and ended up in a reformatory for wayward boys.
The two things that brought Perelman happiness were his MG automobile and a mynah bird, both of which he pampered like babies.
His Anglophilia turned rather sour when late in his life he (temporarily) relocated to England and actually had to socialize with the English.
In the later years of Perelman's career, he bristled at being identified as a writer of Marx Brothers material, insisting that his publishers omit any mention of it in publicity material.
Perelman picked up plenty of pungent expressions from Yiddish and liberally sprinkled his prose with these phrases, thus paving the way for the likes of Philip Roth.
Lucius Bentinck Cary, 10th Viscount Falkland GCH, PC (5 November 1803 – 12 March 1884) was a British colonial administrator and Liberal politician.
He succeeded as tenth Viscount Falkland in 1809 at the age of five after his father was killed in a duel.
However, already on 15 May 1832, he was created Baron Hunsdon, of Scutterskelfe in the County of York, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
He restructured the colony's Executive Council by including reformers in the body which had previously been a Tory domain but resisted the demand that the majority party in the legislature be permitted to form a government.
He then returned to England and held office in the Whig government of Lord John Russell as Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard from 1846 to 1848.
Lord Falkland married Lady Amelia FitzClarence (21 March 1807 – 2 July 1858 London), the last unmarried illegitimate daughter of King William IV and his mistress, Dorothy Jordan, on 27 December 1830 at the Royal Pavilion.
The King gave away the bride and the ceremony was performed by the Bishop of Winchester; they spent their honeymoon at Cumberland Lodge.
They had one son, Lucius William Charles Frederick Cary, Master of Falkland (24 November 1831 – 6 August 1871), who married Sarah Christiana Keighly (d. 4 October 1902), but died childless.
As his only son had predeceased him, he was succeeded in his titles (except for the barony of Hunsdon) by his younger brother Admiral Plantagenet Pierrepont Cary.
While they were often placed in the Old World warbler family Sylviidae, recent research suggests they more likely belong in the Cisticolidae and they are treated as such in Del Hoyo et al.
The edges of a large leaf are pierced and sewn together with plant fibre or spider's web to make a cradle in which the actual grass nest is built.
Never progressing beyond a sixth-grade education, Hoffman earned his living operating a junkyard in Galloway Township, New Jersey, near Atlantic City.
A self-taught artist, he found inspiration in narratives from the Torah and Nevi'im; over his lifetime he produced over 250 carvings whose subjects were drawn from the Bible or from his Jewish background.
His works are also a mirror of his personal interests: whaling, horse racing, and Native Americans all found places in his paintings.
Though he sold some of his works, and also did some carving for local synagogues, he created most of his art for himself.
His work has been shown across the eastern United States and a number of American museums hold public collections, including the American Folk Art Museum, the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, and the Noyes Museum of Art.
In microbiology, McFarland standards are used as a reference to adjust the turbidity of bacterial suspensions so that the number of bacteria will be within a given range to standardize microbial testing.
An example of such testing is antibiotic susceptibility testing by measurement of minimum inhibitory concentration which is routinely used in medical microbiology and research.
If a suspension used is too heavy or too dilute, an erroneous result (either falsely resistant or falsely susceptible) for any given antimicrobial agent could occur.
A 0.5 McFarland standard is prepared by mixing 0.05 mL of 1.175% barium chloride dihydrate (BaCl•2HO), with 9.95 mL of 1% sulfuric acid (HSO).
Now there are McFarland standards prepared from suspensions of latex particles, which lengthens the shelf life and stability of the suspensions.
On 3 September 1940, she put to sea with an inspection board embarked to evaluate possible sites, from Newfoundland to British Guiana, for naval and air bases to be gained in exchange for destroyers transferred to the British government.
She participated in fleet maneuvers and conducted patrols during the winter of 1940–1941, then steamed to California for an overhaul at Mare Island.
On 6 January 1942, she departed San Francisco with Task Force 17 (TF 17), centered around , and escorted the ships transporting the Marine Expeditionary Force to Samoa to reinforce defenses there.
In the spring, after a trip to the New Hebrides, she escorted , which was carrying President Manuel L. Quezon of the Philippines to the west coast, arriving at San Francisco on 8 May.
There, she switched to a reinforcement group carrying Marine aircraft and personnel to Midway in anticipation of Japanese efforts to take that key outpost.
On the 25th, she delivered her charges to their mid-ocean destination, then moved north as a unit of TF 8 to reinforce Aleutian defenses.
She shepherded the convoy into its Nouméan anchorage on the 21st, then shifted to Espiritu Santo, New Hebrides, where she proceeded into the Solomons.
Her division, Cruiser Division 9 (CruDiv 9) and its screen, Destroyer Squadron 21 (DesRon 21), then retired back toward Tulagi to replenish as troops were landed at Rice Anchorage.
Early on the morning of the 6th, however, the force located and engaged ten enemy destroyers headed for Vila with reinforcements embarked.
From there, she moved on to Espiritu Santo for temporary repairs, then steamed eastward, aft forward to protect the bow, to Mare Island, to complete the work.
In December, she returned to that island to shell troop concentrations and, in January 1944, shifted southward to bombard enemy installations in the Shortland Islands.
On the 13th, she arrived in the area between Buka and St. George Channel to support landing operations in the Green Islands, off of New Ireland.
On 4 June, she moved north to the Marshalls, where on the 10th, she sailed for the Mariana Islands in TF 52, the Saipan assault force.
On the 15th, she shelled the Chalan Kanoa area, retired as the landings took place, then moved back to provide call fire support and to shell targets of opportunity.
She then returned to Saipan and, on the 17th, shifted to an area north of that island where she remained through the battle of the Philippine Sea.
Nevertheless, two days later, she arrived off Guam as scheduled; and, during the afternoon, covered underwater demolition teams working the proposed landing beaches.
In mid-October, she steamed back to Hawaii, trained until the end of the month, then moved on across the Pacific, via Ulithi and Kossol Roads, to the Philippines, arriving in Leyte Gulf on 16 November.
During the next 10 days, she patrolled in the gulf and in Surigao Strait, adding her batteries to the anti-aircraft guns protecting shipping in the area.
At 1130, another 10 enemy planes filled the space vacated by the first flight and broke into three attack groups of four, four, and two.
The first was splashed off the port quarter, and the second drove in from starboard and crashed almost on board on the port side.
Medical work was well under way: 15 were dead, one was missing, 21 were seriously wounded, and 22 had sustained minor injuries.
By the end of the month, she had participated in strikes against the southern Japanese home islands, then moved south to the Ryukyu Islands to join TF 54, bombarded Okinawa, and guarded minesweepers and underwater demolition teams clearing channels to the assault beaches.
On the 31st, she put into Kerama Retto to replenish, then returned to the larger island to support the forces landed on the Hagushi beaches on 1 April.
On 18 May, she departed Hagushi for a brief respite at Leyte, and in mid-June, she resumed support operations off Okinawa.
On 25 July, she shifted to TF 95, and on the 28th, she supported air strikes against Japanese installations on the Asiatic mainland.
Sweeps of the East China Sea followed, and in early August, she anchored in Buckner Bay, where she remained until the end of hostilities on 15 August.
During September, as other ships joined the force, she was at Buckner Bay, and in October, she moved on to Shanghai.
The Greater Richmond Transit Company, known locally as GRTC Transit System, is a local government-owned public service company which operates an urban-suburban bus line based in Richmond, Virginia.
GRTC primarily serves the independent city of Richmond and a very small portion of the adjacent counties of Henrico, Hanover, and Chesterfield with a fleet of over 175 diesel-powered and CNG-powered transit buses operating approximately 46 routes.
GRTC uses government-funded equipment and resources principally provided by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (VDRPT), and local funds.
It also maintains equipment and has other affiliations with Petersburg Area Transit, a similar agency which also serves a portion of Chesterfield County.
It is managed by a private transit management company that provides the CEO, COO, and Transportation Manager, as was its predecessor, Virginia Transit Company (VTC).
In 1887, The Richmond City Council adopted an ordinance granting a franchise to the Richmond Union Passenger Railway Company to operate a street railway system.
In 1944, the Securities and Exchange Commission directed Virginia Electric and Power company to confine its activities to the electricity business.
In 1944, the Richmond transit bus system (and a similar one in Norfolk) was purchased by VTC, which became part of the United Transit Company the next year.
After World War II, public transit systems in the United States became unprofitable, and most were eventually converted to government-owned and funded operations.
In 1972, federal, state and local funds were used to purchase the assets of the Virginia Transit Company, and a new public service company was set up, GRTC, which was wholly owned by the City of Richmond.
In addition, it was voted the 2nd best episode of all time by fans in the United States, while being ranked the third best among fans in the United Kingdom.
After showing their weapons off to Craig, they go around town pretending to be ninjas, becoming anime-like characters with their own individual superpowers.
He goes home and becomes his supervillain alter ego, Professor Chaos, and sets off to get his revenge on the four ninjas.
Professor Chaos gains the upper hand by neutralizing Kyle and Stan and Cartman proves no help as he prefers to use his ninja power to embarrass Kyle.
The shuriken hits Butters in his eye and becomes lodged in it, which immediately brings an end to the battle and brings the boys back to their senses.
Suddenly they all realize that Butters needs medical attention, but taking him to the local hospital would result in their parents finding out about their purchases.
They try to pull the shuriken out of Butters' eye themselves but when that only makes things worse, Stan and Cartman decide that the only way they can take Butters to a doctor is if they go to the local veterinarian and so, they dress Butters up like a dog.
On the way, the boys encounter Craig again and have to hide Butters in an abandoned oven so nobody sees him.
Much to their chagrin, Craig has copied them and obtained weapons from the same vendor, enlisting Jimmy, Clyde, and Token as his fellow ninjas.
The four boys force Craig's group to help them search for Butters, threatening to tell on them if they do not.
A weakened Butters makes his way to the hospital but his disguise fools the attending doctor, who sends Butters to the local animal shelter.
Just before he does, though, Butters escapes again and heads for the fair; so he decides to do the same thing to another dog instead.
The boys decide to dispose of the evidence and return to the fair to have the vendor refund their money, which he refuses to do.
Craig and the others inform them that they have seen Butters wandering around on the other side of the fair towards an auction that all their parents are attending.
Cartman decides to use his ninja power of invisibility to walk across the auction stage to get to Butters undetected and takes off his clothes.
However, since nobody else knows what the boys have been up to, Cartman inadvertently ends up streaking across the stage and is unable to reach Butters, who collapses on the stage while everyone looks on stunned.
The boys are under the impression that the outrage in question is Butters' wound (which has been medically treated by this time), but it soon transpires that the real issue is Cartman's public nudity.
The episode ends with a freeze-frame of the boys in Anime style posing and embarking on another adventure as they have more work to do.
In spite of the episode's popularity among fans, series co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone openly admitted in the season eight DVD audio commentary that they did not think it was a very good episode.
Joseph Allan Nevins (May 20, 1890 – March 5, 1971) was an American historian and journalist, known for his extensive work on the history of the Civil War and his biographies of such figures as Grover Cleveland, Hamilton Fish, Henry Ford, and John D. Rockefeller, as well as his public service.
Nevins was born in Camp Point, Illinois, the son of Emma (née Stahl) and Joseph Allan Nevins, whom he later described as a stern Presbyterian farmer.
After the 1928 Presidential Campaign which he covered for Walter Lippmann, Nevins grew dismayed at what he perceived as intolerance and provincialism, religious bigotry and racial prejudice in the American South, which as a historian he contrasted to religious freedom and separation of church and state that the same region had brought to the new nation in the revolutionary era.
In 1928, Nevins joined the history faculty of Columbia University, where he remained for three decades until his mandatory retirement in 1958.
In 1931 he gave up his journalism job in order to become a full-time faculty member and in 1939 succeeded Evarts Boutell Greene (his teacher at Illinois and mentor at Columbia), as the Dewitt Clinton Professor of History.
Nevins served as special representative of the Office of War Information in Australia and New Zealand in 1943–1944, and in 1945–1946 worked in London as chief public affairs officer at the American embassy.
In 1948 Nevins created the first oral history program to operate on an institutionalized basis in the U.S., which continues as Columbia University's Center for Oral History.
In addition to publishing four more volumes of the Civil War series, Nevins reworked the Rockefeller biography to cast a more favorable light upon the magnate.
After retiring from Columbia, Nevins relocated to California, where he worked as senior researcher at the Huntington Library in San Marino, and also returned to Oxford from 1964 to 1965.
Nevins headed the national Civil War Centennial Commission, edited its 15-volume Impact series and finished the final volumes of his eight-volume series on the American Civil War.
As a historian, Nevins supervised more than 100 doctoral dissertations, published over 50 books and possibly more than 1000 articles, as well as serving as president of the American Historical Association, the Society of American Historians, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
Nevins wrote more than 50 books, mainly political and business history and biography focusing on the nineteenth century, in addition to his many newspaper and academic articles.
Subjects of his biographies included: Grover Cleveland, Abram Hewitt, Hamilton Fish, Henry Ford, John C. Frémont, Herbert Lehman, John D. Rockefeller, and Henry White.
His biography of Grover Cleveland won the 1933 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography, as did his biography of Hamilton Fish four years later.
Nevins also published an annotated diary of President James K. Polk, and a volume of Cleveland's correspondence spanning the years 1850–1908.
He preferred emphasizing practical notions about the importance of national unity, principled leadership, [classical] liberal politics, enlightened journalism, the social responsibility of business and industry, and scientific and technical progress that added to the cultural improvement of humanity.
Nevins wrote several books on John D. Rockefeller and the Rockefeller family, including a two-volume authorized biography of John D. Rockefeller.
Historians and biographers who followed Nevins' lead include Jean Strouse, Ron Chernow, David Nasaw, and T. J. Stiles, chronicling the lives and careers of such figures as J. Pierpont Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Though these later biographers did not confer heroic status on their subjects, they used historical and biographical investigations to establish a more complex understanding of the American past, and the history of American economic development in particular.
In the late 1960s Nevins and Commager parted ways over the issue of the Vietnam War, a war that Commager opposed on constitutional grounds, while Nevins thought it necessary in the Cold War against Communism.
In filmmaking, a body double is a person who substitutes in a scene for another actor such that the person's face is not shown.
In a recorded visual medium, a body double is used in certain specific shots to replace the credited actor of a character.
The body double's face is obscured to maintain the illusion that they are the same character; usually by shooting their body at an angle that leaves their face out (such as by showing the body double from the back) or in post-production by superimposing the original actor's face over the body double's.
Also, some actors refuse to do nude scenes, although the latter is becoming less common as many actors are now sometimes contracted to do nudity.
This is in contrast to a stand-in who replaces an actor for non-filming purposes such as scene arrangement and lighting adjustments.
These inserts are often shot by the second unit with a double at a later point in production primarily because it allows the main unit to use the lead actors' time more efficiently.
Some of these many double-acted scenes could be long or wide establishing shots, complicated over-the-shoulder main lead actor's dialogue sequences or in quick insert close-up shots involving only showing actor's body parts.
A photodouble must be able to recite his lines with the same timing as the lead actor, and also reproduce the exact physical actions in co-ordination with the other principal actors; usually, body-doubles must be of the same approximate height and weight of the actor they're replacing.
The double's face is usually not seen on-camera, particularly when they don't facially resemble the actor; a wig will usually be employed if the double's hair color is different from that of the main actor.
An extensively used body double, especially when used in cases where the credited actor has died, is known as a fake Shemp.
In some productions, a scene calls for two characters in the same shot, both of whom are portrayed by a single actor.
A body double can portray one of the characters, while the credited actor plays the other, thus enabling both characters to appear simultaneously on camera.
A scene requiring Linda Hamilton to appear as two Sarah Connors in the same scene was created by employing Hamilton's identical twin sister Leslie as her double.
Altan Khan of the Tümed (1507–1582; ; Chinese: 阿勒坦汗), whose given name was Anda ( in Mongolian; 俺答 in Chinese), was the leader of the Tümed Mongols and de facto ruler of the Right Wing, or western tribes, of the Mongols.
He was the grandson of Dayan Khan (1464–1543), a descendant of Kublai Khan (1215–1294), who had managed to unite a tribal league between the Khalkha Mongols in the north and the Chahars (Tsakhars) to the south.
Borjigin Barsboladiin Altan was the second son of Bars Bolud Jinong, and a grandson of Batumongke Dayan Khan who had re-unified the Mongolian nobility in an attempt to regain the glory of the Yuan dynasty.
Altan Khan ruled the Tümed and belonged to the Right Wing of the Mongols along with his elder brother Gün Bilig, who ruled the Ordos.
When Bodi Alagh Khan, the Khagan of the Mongols from the Chahar, died in 1547, Altan forced Bodi Alagh's successor Darayisung Küdeng Khan to flee eastward.
Altan Khan, who controlled the Ordos tumen of the Huang He or Yellow River was well placed to keep pressure on the Chinese and the Oirat Mongols in Tibet while developing both agriculture and trade.
Altan Khan first invited 3rd Dalai Lama to Tümed in 1569, but apparently he refused to go and sent a disciple instead, who reported back to him about the great opportunity to spread Buddhist teachings throughout Mongolia.
The prince became very interested in Gelukpa, and Beijing was happy to provide him with Tibetan lamas, Tibetan scriptures, and translations.
The Erdene Zuu Monastery was built by him in 1586, at the site of the former Mongol capital of Karakorum following his adoption of Buddhism as the state religion.
This monastery is also often (wrongly) referred to as the first monastery in Mongolia and it grew into a massive establishment.
Sonam Gyatso publicly announced that he was a reincarnation of the Tibetan Sakya monk Drogön Chögyal Phagpa (1235–1280) who converted Kublai Khan, while Altan Khan was a reincarnation of Kublai Khan (1215–1294), the famous ruler of the Mongol Empire and Emperor of China, and that they had come together again to cooperate in propagating the Buddhist religion.
The Tümed Mongols and their allies were brought into the Gelug tradition, which was to become the main spiritual orientation of the Mongols in the ensuing centuries.
Sonam Gyatso's message was that the time had come for Mongolia to embrace Buddhism, that from that time on there should be no more animal sacrifices, there must be no taking of life, animal or human, military action must be pursued only with purpose and the immolation of women on the funeral pyres of their husbands must be abolished.
A massive program of translating Tibetan (and Sanskrit) texts into Mongolian was commenced, with letters written in silver and gold and paid for by the Dalai Lama's Mongolian devotees.
Within 50 years virtually all Mongols had become Buddhist, with tens of thousands of monks, who were members of the Gelug order, loyal to the Dalai Lama.
Longqing Emperor, the reigning emperor of Ming dynasty was forced to grant special trading rights to the khanate, after signing a peace treaty with him in 1571, allowing it to trade horses for silks, which further strengthened it economically.
During his reign he made several successful military campaigns to the west against rebellious Oirats, Kazakhs, and Kyrgyz, bringing them back under his rule.
Enrique Granados Campiña was born in Lleida, Spain, the son of Calixto José de la Trinidad Granados y Armenteros, a Spanish army captain who was born in Havana, Cuba, and Enriqueta Campiña.
He was unable to become a student at the Paris Conservatoire, but he was able to take private lessons with a conservatoire professor, Charles-Wilfrid de Bériot, whose mother, the soprano Maria Malibran, was of Spanish ancestry.
He wrote an opera based on the subject in 1914, but the outbreak of World War I forced the European premiere to be canceled.
Ironically, the part of the vessel that contained his cabin did not sink and was towed to port, with most of the passengers, except for Granados and his wife, on board.
Granados was a significant influence on at least two other famous Spanish composers and musicians, Manuel de Falla and Pablo Casals.
Ordeal of the Union, an eight-volume set (published 1947–1971) on the American Civil War by Allan Nevins, is one of the author's greatest works, ending only with his death.
At the 2011 Census the Regency had a population of 84,138; the latest official estimate (as of January 2014) was 93,722.
The islands are the easternmost in Maluku province, and are located in the Arafura Sea southwest of New Guinea and north of Australia.
The largest island is Tanahbesar (also called Wokam); Dobo, the chief port of the islands, is on Wamar, just off Tanahbesar.
Geologically, the group is part of the Australian continent, along with New Guinea, Tanimbar, Tasmania, Waigeo, and Raja Ampat on the Australian Plate.
The Islands lie on the Australia-New Guinea continental shelf, and were connected to Australia and New Guinea by land when sea levels were lower during the ice ages.
The Aru pearl industry has been criticized in national media for allegedly maintaining exploitive debt structures that bind the local men who dive for pearls to outside boat owners and traders in an unequal relationship.
In November 2011, the Government of Indonesia awarded two oil-and-gas production-sharing contracts (PSC) about west of the Aru Islands to BP.
The two adjacent offshore exploration PSCs, West Aru I and II, cover an area of about with water depths ranging from .
The islands were sighted and also possibly visited by some Portuguese navigators, such as Martim Afonso de Melo, in 1522-24, who sighted the islands and wintered on a nearby island or of the Aru archipelago itself, and possibly by Gomes de Sequeira, in 1526, as is pointed out in the cartography of the time.
The Spanish navigator Álvaro de Saavedra sighted the islands on 12 June 1528, when trying to return from Tidore to New Spain.
The islands were colonized by the Dutch beginning 1623, though initially the Dutch East India Company was one of several trading groups in the area, with limited influence over the islands' internal affairs.
His visit later made him realise, that the Aru islands must have been connected by a landbridge to mainland New Guinea during the ice age.
In the nineteenth century, Dobo, Aru's largest town, temporarily became an important regional trading center, serving as a meeting point for Dutch, Makasarese, Chinese, and other traders.
The period from the 1880s to 1917 saw a backlash against this outside influence, by a spiritually-based movement among local residents to rid the islands of outsiders.
Fourteen languages - Barakai, Batuley, Dobel, Karey, Koba, Kola, Kompane, Lola, Lorang, Manombai, Mariri, East Tarangan, West Tarangan, and Ujir - are indigenous to Aru.
A more recent report from 2007 suggested that the 4% Muslim figure may only relate to the indigenous population and that the actual percentage of Muslims may be significantly higher.
The Dutch brought Christianity in the 17th and 18th centuries but much of the conversion of the population to Christianity did not take place until the 20th century.
In philately, a cut square is an imprinted stamp cut from an item of postal stationery such as a stamped envelope, postal card, letter sheet, letter card, aerogram or wrapper in a square or rectangular shape.
An alternative use of the term is simply any stamp, from sheets or postal stationery, cut in a square or rectangular shape and not cut to shape.
Just as used postage stamps were cut out, soaked and placed in an album, collectors also cut out postal stationery indicia and mounted them conveniently in albums.
Now, the practice is frowned upon by most collectors who collect the entire, thus saving the envelope's postal history, the knife of the envelope and the postmark.
To illustrate how far things have shifted in emphasis from the collection of cut squares, the most recent United Postal Stationery Society publication on US 20th and 21st century stamped envelopes does not even mention cut squares, whereas its predecessor edition, just seven years earlier, devoted a section to their pricing.
King Jordan, president emeritus of Gallaudet University, is one of the most famous ALDAn members and has spoken frequently at the conventions.
The Association presents a yearly award in his name to a member who has shown outstanding achievement as a role model for late-deafened adults.
Most recently, the Association of Late-Deafened Adults has been involved in Congressional hearings for technological improvements, such as movie theater captioning devices for theaters, and working with the Georgia Institute of Technology for a text conversion program for Google Glass.
The P-38, developed in 1942, is a small can opener that was issued in the canned field rations of the United States Armed Forces from World War II to the 1980s.
However, use of the metric system in the US was not widespread at this point, and United States Army sources indicate that the origin of the name is rooted in the 38 punctures around the circumference of a C-ration can required for opening.
Then, for a right-handed user, the P-38 is held in the right hand by the flat long section, with the cutting point pointing downward and away from the user, while also hooking the edge of the can through the circular notch located on the flat long section next to the cutting edge.
The can is held in the left hand, and the right hand is rotated slightly clockwise, causing the can lid to be punctured.
The can is then rotated counter-clockwise in the left hand, while the right hand rotates alternatively slightly counter-clockwise and slightly clockwise, until the can has been rotated nearly 360 degrees and the lid is nearly free.
The lid of the now opened can is lifted, most often with the P-38 cutting edge, and the P-38 is wiped clean, and the cutting point is rotated back to its stowed, folded position.
The P-38 is then returned to its stored location, whether that is dangling on a dog tag chain around one's neck, or in one's pocket if the P-38 is attached to a key ring.
Left-handed users simply hold the P-38 in their left hand, with the cutting point aimed towards themselves, while holding the can to be opened in their right hand, while also reversing the sense of the cutting hand movements just described.
A similar device that incorporates a small spoon at one end and a bottle opener at the other is currently employed by the Australian Defence Force and New Zealand Army in its ration kits.
Paul Pierre Lévy (15 September 1886 – 15 December 1971) was a French mathematician who was active especially in probability theory, introducing fundamental concepts such as local time, stable distributions and characteristic functions.
Lévy processes, Lévy flights, Lévy measures, Lévy's constant, the Lévy distribution, the Lévy area, the Lévy arcsine law, and the fractal Lévy C curve are named after him.
Lévy attended the École Polytechnique and published his first paper in 1905, at the age of nineteen, while still an undergraduate, in which he introduced the Lévy–Steinitz theorem.
After graduation, he spent a year in military service and then studied for three years at the École des Mines, where he became a professor in 1913.
In 1920 he was appointed Professor of Analysis at the École Polytechnique, where his students included Benoît Mandelbrot and Georges Matheron.
He remained at the École Polytechnique until his retirement in 1959, with a gap during World War II after his 1940 firing because of the Vichy Statute on Jews.
Lévy received a number of honours, including membership at the French Academy of Sciences and honorary membership at the London Mathematical Society.
It is similar to a postal tax stamp, but the revenue is used to defray the costs of a war; as with other postal taxes, its use is obligatory for some period of time.
On June 1, 1876, after the Third Carlist War had ended, a further set of five depicting King Alfonso XII was issued.
Intended to help pay off war debts, this set bore denominations of 5, 10 and 25 centimos, 1 peseta and 5 pesetas.
This issue, a set of seven with denominations of 5, 10, 15, 25 and 50 centimos and 1 and 5 pesetas, was never placed in use as a decree of February 4, 1879 lifted the war tax.
The first set, issued in 1897, contained four stamps bearing the numbers 5, 10, 15 and 20, reflecting their denomination in centimos.
The majority of war tax stamps were produced during and immediately after World War I, primarily within the British Empire and its dominions.
The following British colonies and dominions produced war tax stamps: Antigua, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, British Guiana, British Honduras, Canada, Cayman Islands, Ceylon, Dominica, Falkland Islands, Fiji, Gibraltar, Gilbert and Ellice Islands, Gold Coast, Grenada, Jamaica, Malta, Montserrat, New Zealand, St. Helena, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands and Virgin Islands.
Canada was the first country to issue such stamps during this period, following passage of its Special War Revenue Act in February 1915.
This indicated that the stamps carried both their face value and the tax of 1 cent, conceptually similar to a semi-postal stamp, but whose use was required rather than optional.
Great Britain and Australia imposed war taxes on mail, but did not issue war tax stamps; instead, they used regular stamps to pay the fees.
In the United States, which also imposed a war tax following its entry into the war in 1917, the rate for a first-class letter was raised from 2 cents to 3 cents; the added cent was used to pay the tax.
Though many countries (e.g., Australia) imposed taxes on mail during World War II, regular stamps were used to pay those taxes.
The last American cruiser designed to meet the limits of London Naval Treaty, she was originally intended to be a heavy cruiser, accordingly with the maximum main armament of three triple gun turrets.
This design would go on to form the basis for the later World War II-era heavy cruisers such as the s. The ship was authorized by the 1929 Cruiser Act, laid down at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in October 1935, launched in November 1937, and commissioned into the US Navy in February 1939.
She was first assigned to convoy escort duty on the Murmansk Run in early 1942, and supported amphibious landings during Operation Torch in November 1942.
She frequently provided antiaircraft defense for the Fast Carrier Task Force during operations in the central Pacific, including the Battles of the Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf in 1944.
After the Japanese surrender, the ship served as part of the occupation force in Japan and assisted in the repatriation of American military personnel under Operation Magic Carpet.
She remained in reserve until 1959, when she was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register and sold for scrapping in August 1959.
In the early 1930s, the Secretary of the Navy, Curtis D. Wilbur, pushed for a new construction program for light and heavy cruisers.
The ship was originally intended to be built to the design of the , but the design was reworked before construction began.
The secondary battery of eight guns was identical in number to the light cruisers, but was arranged to give better fields of fire.
The main battery of nine guns was mounted in a new gun turret design that rectified problems discovered in earlier cruisers.
When the rest of the 5-inch guns were installed, it was found that the ship was too top-heavy, and so of pig iron had to be added to her bottom to balance the cruiser.
She was equipped with four seaplanes and a pair of aircraft catapults and a crane for handling the aircraft which were mounted on the stern.
The Class A steel was significantly more effective than the Class B armor used in earlier cruisers; 8-inch guns had to be within to penetrate the belt, as opposed to for the earlier armor.
Her secondary battery consisted of eight 5-inch /38 Mark 12 dual-purpose guns, four in single, enclosed Mark 30 high-angle mounts, and four in open mounts.
The 40 mm guns had a ceiling of at 90 degrees elevation and a maximum rate of fire of 160 rounds per minute.
By the end of the war, the ship was armed with a variety of fire control systems for her guns, including Mark 34 fire control gear and Mark 13 and Mark 28 fire control radars.
She arrived on 20 April 1939 and took part in the dedicatory and memorial service at the San Jacinto Battle Monument and War Relic Museum.
The ship left Houston on 1 May for her shakedown cruise, during which she visited the Virgin Islands, Cuba, and the Bahamas before she returned to Philadelphia for post-shakedown repairs.
She then joined the aircraft carrier and the heavy cruiser for a patrol in the North Atlantic, during which the ships sailed to within of Ireland.
She sortied again on 27 July bound for Iceland as part of Task Force 16 under Operation Indigo II, the occupation of Iceland.
The following day, the ship's crew evaluated her condition; she had suffered minor damage from the collisions, including some leaks, and damage to the hull from the grounding.
She arrived on 9 February, and repairs lasted until 26 February, when she left port for training maneuvers off Maine in early March.
Aware that they had been detected, the Germans aborted the operation and turned over the attack to U-boats and the Luftwaffe.
The scattered vessels could no longer be protected by the convoy escorts, and the Germans sank 21 of the 34 isolated transports.
The ships were tasked with neutralizing the primary French defenses, which included coastal guns on El Hank, several submarines, and the incomplete battleship which lay at anchor in the harbor.
On the night of 29 January 1943, the Task Force was steaming off Rennell Island; wary of the threat from Japanese submarines, which Allied intelligence indicated were likely in the area, Giffen arranged his cruisers and destroyers for anti-submarine defense, not expecting an air attack.
The bombardment convinced the Japanese that the Americans intended to invade the island in the near future; they therefore planned an evacuation by July.
The force departed Majuro on 12 February and conducted Operation Hailstone, a major air strike on the Japanese base at Truk, four days later.
After arriving, she joined the screen for the Fast Carrier Task Force, which struck Japanese bases on Yap, Woleai, and in the Palaus.
The task force returned to the seas off Truk on 29 April for a second round of airstrikes on the port.
On 17 June, she joined Task Group 58.7; the force patrolled to the west of the Marianas over the next three days in an attempt to intercept the large Japanese carrier force known to be approaching.
She arrived three days later and remained there until 29 July, when she put to sea to join Task Group 38.1.
She screened for the fast carrier task group while they launched airstrikes on Japanese targets in Palau, the Carolines, the Philippines, and Dutch East Indies.
The ship's anti-aircraft gunners immediately opened fire; a burst from one of the 20 mm guns shot away the Zero's tail.
Over the next two days, the ship continued to bombard Japanese defenses on the island, until she retired to replenish ammunition on 10 April.
A 5-inch round struck the port aircraft catapult; shell fragments hit the shield of an antiaircraft director, killing one man and injuring eleven others.
The ship reached San Francisco on 24 November, where she went into drydock at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard two days later.
She left port on 27 January bound for the east coast of the United States; she transited the Panama Canal on 5–9 February and reached Philadelphia on 14 February.
On 1 March 1959, the ship was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register and sold on 14 August to the Union Minerals and Alloys Corp.
The Seequa Chameleon was also an older luggable computer from the early 1980s, distinguished by being able to run both the MS-DOS and CP/M-80 operating systems.
The Mūlamadhyamakakārikā (Sanskrit) or Fundamental Verses on the Middle Way, is a foundational text of the Madhyamaka school of Mahayana philosophy, composed by Nagarjuna in approximately the second-third century CE.
A collection of 27 chapters in Sanskrit verse, it is widely regarded as the most influential text of Buddhist philosophy and had a major impact on the subsequent development of Buddhism, especially northeast of its native India in places such as Tibet and East Asia.
A philosopher of the Madhyamaka branch of Mahāyāna Buddhism, he held all existents to be empty of their own intrinsic nature, instead depending for their character on other things or otherwise having an incoherent nature.
Although all Buddhist schools hold that the self is empty in this way, schools which adhere to Abhidharma doctrine still conceive of the dharmas as ultimately real entities.
Because of the high degree of similarity between the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā and Pyrrhonism, particularly the surviving works of the Pyrrhonist philosopher Sextus Empiricus Thomas McEvilley suspects that Nagarjuna was influenced by Greek Pyrrhonist texts imported into India.
As a kārikā-style text, the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā presents only aphoristic, often enigmatic and extremely shortened verses, much like the sūtra works of the various orthodox Hindu philosophical schools.
Since they served primarily as pedagogical or mnemonic aids for teachers, commentaries were required to make the meaning of this type of text more explicit to the uninitiated reader.
This is by far the best known commentary in East Asian Mādhyamaka, forming one of the three commentaries that make up the San Lun School.
The Anglican Church of Australia, formerly known as the Church of England in Australia, is a Christian church in Australia and an autonomous church of the Anglican Communion.
When the First Fleet was sent to New South Wales in 1787, Richard Johnson of the Church of England was licensed as chaplain to the fleet and the settlement.
Some of the Irish convicts had been transported to Australia for political crimes or social rebellion in Ireland, so the authorities were suspicious of Roman Catholicism for the first three decades of settlement and Roman Catholic convicts were compelled to attend Church of England services and their children and orphans were raised by the authorities as Anglicans.
Drafted by the reformist attorney-general John Plunkett, the act established legal equality for Anglicans, Roman Catholics and Presbyterians and was later extended to Methodists.
A mission to the Aborigines was established in the Wellington Valley in New South Wales by the Church Missionary Society in 1832, but it ended in failure and indigenous people in the 19th century demonstrated a reluctance to convert to the religion of the colonists who were seizing their lands.
In 1847 the rest of the Diocese of Australia was divided into the four separate dioceses of Sydney, Adelaide, Newcastle and Melbourne.
Until 1945, the vast majority of Roman Catholics in Australia were of Irish descent, causing the Anglo-Protestant majority to question their loyalty to the British Empire.
After World War II, the ethnic and cultural mix of Australia diversified and Anglicanism gave way to Roman Catholicism as the largest denomination.
The number of Anglicans attending regular worship began to decline in 1959 and figures for occasional services (baptisms, confirmations, weddings and funerals) started to decline after 1966.
The movement evolved and expanded with Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches later joining and by 1994 the Roman Catholic Church was also a member of the national ecumenical body, the National Council of Churches in Australia.
On 24 August 1981 the church officially changed its name from the Church of England in Australia and Tasmania to the Anglican Church of Australia.
In 1992, 90 women were ordained in the Anglican Church of Australia and two others who had been ordained overseas were recognised.
After decades of debate the issue of women's ordination, particularly as bishops, continues to divide traditionalists and reformers within the church.
In 2008, Kay Goldsworthy was ordained as an assistant bishop for the Diocese of Perth, thus becoming the first woman consecrated as a bishop of the Anglican Church of Australia.
In 2014 she was consecrated and installed as the first female diocesan bishop in Australia (for the Diocese of Grafton in New South Wales).
Senior clergy such as Peter Jensen, former Archbishop of Sydney, have a high profile in discussions on a diverse range of social issues in contemporary national debates.
In recent times the church has encouraged its leaders to talk on such issues as indigenous rights; international security; peace and justice; and poverty and equity.
Like other religious groups, the church has come under criticism in light of cases of sexual abuse by clergy and others.
Prior to the Second World War, the majority of immigrants to Australia had come from the United Kingdom – though most of Australia's Roman Catholic immigrants had come from Ireland.
After World War II, Australia's immigration program diversified and more than 6.5 million migrants arrived in Australia in the 60 years after the war, including more than a million Roman Catholics.
Census data shows that as a percentage of population Anglican affiliation peaked in 1921 at 43.7%, and the number of persons indicating Anglican affiliation peaked in 1991 at 4 million.
The Australian church consists of twenty-three dioceses arranged into five provinces (except for Tasmania) with the metropolitical sees in the states' capital cities.
The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Anglican Council (NATSIAC) appoints two Indigenous bishops for national work with indigenous people: the National Aboriginal Bishop is based in South Australia (as an assistant bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Adelaide); while the National Torres Strait Islander Bishop is based at Thursday Island, Queensland (as an assistant bishop of the Anglican Diocese of North Queensland).
Today the church remains a significant provider of social welfare with organisations working in education, health, missionary work, social welfare and communications.
The Anglicare network comprises 9000 volunteers beyond paid staff, who assisted some 940,000 Australians in 2016 in areas such as emergency relief, aged care, family support and assistance for the homeless.
Church schools range from low-fee, regional and special needs schools to high-fee leading independent schools such as Geelong Grammar (whose alumni includes Prince Charles and Rupert Murdoch) and The Kings School in Synod.
The historic church was designed by Governor Macquarie's architect, Francis Greenway – a former convict – and built with convict labour.
Blacket also designed St Saviour's Cathedral in Goulburn, based on the Decorated Gothic style of a large English parish church and built between 1874 and 1884.
Tasmania is home to a number of significant colonial Anglican buildings including those located at Australia's best preserved convict era settlement, Port Arthur.
The oldest building in the city of Canberra is the picturesque St John the Baptist Church in Reid, consecrated in 1845.
This church long predates the city of Canberra and is not so much representative of urban design as it is of the Bush chapels which dot the Australian landscape and stretch even into the far Outback.
In 2017, the Diocese of The Murray ordained the first woman as a deacon becoming the last diocese to ordain women to the diaconate.
The Anglican Diocese of Sydney, the largest of the country, has expressed its opposition to same-sex unions and has been involved in the Anglican realignment as a member of the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans.
In 2015, the Bishop of Wangaratta endorsed same-sex marriage legislation and some diocesan clergy offered to perform gay marriages when allowed to do so.
Inkpin, who is married to the Revd Penny Jones, one of the first female priests ordained in Australia, is the first openly transgender priest in Australia.
The Anglican Diocese of Sydney has been a leading name in the Anglican realignment, since they first opposed the pro-homosexuality policies of the Episcopal Church of the United States and the Anglican Church of Canada.
Archbishop Peter Jensen attended the first Global Anglican Future Conference, on June 2008, in Jerusalem, and was the chairman of GAFCON.
The Anglican Diocese of Sydney and the Anglican Diocese of North West Australia have declared themselves in full communion with the Anglican Church in North America, started in June 2009, which represents Anglican realignment in United States and Canada.
The Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans was launched in Australia on 26 March 2015, in a conference held in Melbourne that reunited 460 members, including 40 from New Zealand, and was attended by Archbishop Eliud Wabukala, from the Anglican Church of Kenya, their international chairman, Archbishop Stanley Ntagali, from the Anglican Church of Uganda, and Archbishop Glenn Davies, from the Anglican Diocese of Sydney.
The then archdeacon of the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne, now bishop Richard Condie, of the Anglican Diocese of Tasmania, became chairman of FCA Australia.
The Anglican Church of Australia was represented at GAFCON III, held in Jerusalem, on 17–22 June 2018, by a 218 members delegation, which included Archbishop Glenn Davies, of Sydney, and Bishops Richard Condie, of Tasmania, Gary Nelson, of North West Australia, and Ian Palmer, of Bathurst.
Matthieu Prosper Avril (born December 12, 1937) is a Haitian political figure who was President of Haiti from 1988 to 1990.
A trusted member of François Duvalier's Presidential Guard and adviser to Jean-Claude Duvalier, Lt. Gen. Avril led the September 1988 Haitian coup d'état against a transition military government installed after Jean-Claude Duvalier's 1986 overthrow.
Avril was forced into retirement by Jean-Claude Duvalier in 1983, but reinstated and promoted to Colonel in 1986, in the face of the popular revolt which would ultimately see Duvalier overthrown.
Avril's 1986 joining of Henri Namphy's interim military junta saw protest demonstrations, and he was forced to resign; but he quickly returned, and assisted Namphy in the June 1988 Haitian coup d'état which overthrew Leslie Manigat, who had been elected in military-controlled elections and took office in February 1988.
In September 1988, a week after the St Jean Bosco massacre, Avril overthrew his former ally Namphy, and served as President of Haiti from September 17, 1988 to March 10, 1990.
It also found him personally responsible for enough ‘torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment’ to award six of his victims a total of $41 million in compensation.
Avril's repression was not subtle: three torture victims were paraded on national television with their faces grotesquely swollen, their limbs bruised and their clothing covered with blood.
In December 1994 the Haitian police attempted to arrest Avril at his home, but were thwarted by the appearance of US soldiers, who caused sufficient delay that Avril was able to escape.
Amnesty International said his arrest could be step forward for Haitian justice, and called for Avril to be tried for the grave human rights violations committed under his Presidency.
At the time Aristide came to power, Prosper Avril lived in Miami, Florida under an assumed name despite the fact that he would be easily recognizable.
This high-profile also made him the target of rumors, and so when two Haitian radio journalists were assassinated during the first weeks and month after Aristide took power, Avril became the target of rumors that declared his involvement.
He was in exile in Malaysia for 17 years during the secular New Order administration of President Suharto resulting from various activities, including urging the implementation of Sharia law.
Intelligence agencies and the United Nations claim he is the spiritual head of Jemaah Islamiyah (also known as JI) and has links with Al-Qaeda.
In August 2014, he publicly pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and his declaration of a caliphate.
He was a student of Gontor Islamic boarding school in Ponorogo, graduating in 1959, before entering Al-Irsyad University, in Solo, Central Java, and graduating in 1963.
During Indonesian President Suharto's New Order, Bashir and Sungkar were arrested for a number of reasons, firstly for actively supporting Sharia, the non-recognition of the Indonesian national ideology Pancasila which in part promotes religious pluralism.
Secondly, the refusal of their school to salute the Indonesian flag which signified Bashir's continual refusal to recognise the authority of a secular Indonesian state.
Soon after his release, Bashir was convicted on similar charges; he was also linked to the bomb attack on the Buddhist monument Borobudur in 1985 but fled to Malaysia.
Abu Bakar Bashir has been described as the ideological godfather of Jamaah Islamiyah, even though no evidence has been made public that specifically implicates Bashir in terrorist attacks undertaken by the clandestine group.
He has claimed the 9/11 attacks were a false flag attack by America and Israel as a pretext to attack Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq.
In August 2008, Bashir resigned his position as the Council's supreme leader, charging that the groups internal democratic structure contradicted Islam, and stated that he should have absolute power within the organization.
Bashir allegedly refers to tourists in Bali as 'worms, snakes and maggots' with specific reference to the immorality of Australian infidels.
Bashir's view on non-Muslims is highlighted in this statement made in East Java in 2006, 'God willing, there are none here, if there were infidels here, just beat them up.
Bashir's specific mention of Australian tourists has created uproar among government officials and the Australian media regarding the cleric's intolerant comments.
Australia's Foreign Affairs Minister Stephen Smith views Bashir's comments in late 2007 as being full of the intolerance that has marked many of Bashir's previous speeches.
The cleric has also previously warned of severe retribution if the Bali bombers, who killed 202 people in 2002, be executed by firing squad.
On 24 March 2008 the bombers, who were on death row, lost almost any hope of escaping the death penalty as their lawyer, Fahmi Bachmid, withdrew from their last appeal.
Similarly, US State Department translator Fred Burks revealed during Bashir's trial in Indonesia that the USA government had asked President Megawati secretly to hand-over Bashir in a meeting at Megawati's home in September 2002.
Present at that meeting was US ambassador to Indonesia Ralph L. Boyce, National Security Council official Karen Brooks, and an unnamed CIA official.
On 14 April 2003, he was formally charged by the Indonesian government with treason, immigration violations, and providing false documents and statements to the Indonesian police.
In the Indonesian court, he was found not guilty of treason because the state failed to prove its case, but was found guilty on the immigration violations.
He was sentenced to three years in prison, but the sentence was subsequently reduced to 20 months due to his good behavior in the prison.
On 15 October 2004, he was arrested by the Indonesian authorities and charged with involvement in the bomb attack on the Marriott Hotel in Jakarta on 5 August 2003, which killed 14 people.
Secondary charges in the same indictment charge him of involvement in the 2002 Bali bombing, the first time he has faced charges in relation to that attack which killed 202 people.
On March 3, 2005, Bashir was found guilty of conspiracy over the 2002 attacks, but was found not guilty of the charges surrounding the 2003 bombing.
On 17 August 2005, as part of the tradition of remissions for Indonesia's Independence Day, Bashir's jail term was cut by 4 months and 15 days.
On 14 June 2006, to cheers from his supporters waiting outside, Abu Bakar Bashir was released, having served 25+ months in Jakarta's Cipinang prison, where he held court and coordinated the publication of a commemorative book with his release.
After returning to the boarding school for which he is the spiritual leader, he pledged a renewed campaign to impose Islamic sharia law on Indonesia.
He also called Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, to convert to Islam in order to save him from hell and receive God's forgiveness.
He also claimed the original bombs were only intended to injure people, not kill them - despite the bombers' own admissions and public testimony.
In February 2012, the US Department of State website stated that JAT was responsible for multiple coordinated attacks against innocent civilians, police and military personnel in Indonesia.
Finally, the Supreme Court has rejected the appeal of Abu Bakar Bashir and annulled the Jakarta High Court sentence then reinstated the South Jakarta District Court's original 15-year sentence.
In January 2019 it was rumored that president Joko Widodo was considering to release Bashir due to old age and declining health.
The move was seen as controversial in Indonesia as part of a growing number of actions taken by Widodo to appease Indonesia's conservative Muslims ahead of the 2019 presidential election.
However on 23 January the move to release Bashir was cancelled as he refused to pledge allegiance to the state ideology of Pancasila which was one of the terms of his release.
Hong Kong Olympiad in Informatics (HKOI; 香港電腦奧林匹克競賽) is an annual programming competition for secondary school students in Hong Kong, emphasizing on problem solving techniques and programming skills.
It serves as a preliminary contest to international, national and regional competitions such as the China National Olympiad in Informatics (NOI) and the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI).
In order select representatives for the Hong Kong Delegation Team, a selection test was held a few months before the competition.
In the next few years, Hong Kong started sending teams to other competitions, including the SEARCC International Schools' Software Competition (ISSC) in 1993, the Software Competition for the Youths (SCY) in 1994 and the China National Olympiad in Informatics in 1995.
Selection tests were separately administered for these competitions, and the purpose of each test was solely to select team members for the competitions.
In 1996, the Hong Kong Association for Computer Education, the Hong Kong Computer Society and the Education Department of Hong Kong (now the Education Bureau) jointly organized the Joint Selection Contest to replace all the selection tests.
After that, a Team Formation Test was conducted to select the Hong Kong representatives in IOI and NOI among the seeds.
Due to the limit on the number of participants from each school, some schools organize their own team formation test to select students to take part in HKOI.
The Junior Group consists of students aged 17 or below, and the Senior Group consists of students aged 19 or below.
The rationale of having two groups with one having an age limit of 17 is that SEARCC-ISSC requires all participants to be aged 17 or below.
Another advantage of having a Junior Group is to allow more young students to enter the HKOI training team without having to compete with the more experienced senior students.
The participants could not rely on a computer to verify the correctness of their programs, while the markers had to read every line of the program and try to understand the underlying algorithm.
Outstanding students in the heat event proceed to enter the 2-hour final event, which consists of programming tasks similar to those in IOI.
All participants were asked to work on the pre-competition assessment task and submit a floppy diskette containing the source code and executable of their programs.
However, it raised concerns about the fairness of the competition, since there is no way to ensure that the submitted program was really written by the participant.
This time, the heat event consisted of a single paper of Multiple choice problems to improve the efficiency in marking papers.
As of 2009, the competition consists of a heat event with Multiple Choice and Fill-in-the-blanks problems, while the final event consists of 5 programming tasks to be solved in 3 hours.
She is co-owner and founding partner of The Jackal Group (now Sidecar), a production entity formed in partnership with Fox Networks Group.
The Jackal Group develops and produces scripted, unscripted and factual entertainment programming for FNG's channels, including Fox Broadcasting Company, FX/FXX, the National Geographic Channels, and Fox International Channels.
Berman was born to a Jewish family in Brooklyn but the family soon moved to Bellmore, New York where she was raised.
Berman also serves on the board of directors of the Center Theatre Group, a non-profit company that oversees the Ahmanson Theatre, the Mark Taper Forum and the Kirk Douglas Theatre.
Berman began her career as a theater producer after graduating with a bachelor's degree in theater from the University of Maryland.
Berman next served as founding president of Regency Television, the TV studio created in 1998 as a co-venture between Fox Television Studios and New Regency Productions.
Berman became president of Paramount Pictures in March 2005 and was responsible for the studio's annual slate of films, including the acquisition of literary properties, development, budgeting, casting, and the production of motion pictures for Paramount Pictures, MTV Films and Nickelodeon Movies.
Prior to founding The Jackal Group, Berman spent seven years as co-founder and co-owner of the media company BermanBraun with Lloyd Braun, which was an innovator in the digital arena, creating and operating successful online brands.
Before BermanBraun, Berman was the first and only female executive to hold the top posts at both a major film studio and television network.
He withdrew from those contests and sought the 2012 Americans Elect presidential nomination until that group announced it would not field a candidate in 2012 because no candidate reached the required minimum threshold of support to be listed on its ballot.
Roemer's maternal grandfather, Ross McDade, married a sister of the maternal grandmother of James C. Gardner, a former mayor of Shreveport.
Among the Shreveport-area delegates who served with Roemer was his future gubernatorial advisor Robert G. Pugh, future U.S. District Judge Tom Stagg, and former Louisiana State Representative Frank Fulco.
Roemer's father had been in 1971 the campaign manager for Edwin Washington Edwards and became commissioner of administration during Edwards' first term as governor.
As a member of Congress, Roemer represented Louisiana's 4th congressional district in the northwestern section of the state, which includes Shreveport and Bossier City.
In 1978, Roemer lost in the nonpartisan blanket primary for the 4th district congressional seat, which was vacated by popular incumbent Joe Waggonner, also from Bossier Parish.
Waggonner announced his opposition to Roemer after Roemer criticized the excessive costs of the Red River navigation program, a favored project of the retiring Waggonner.
Roemer finished third in the primary to Democratic State Representative Buddy Leach, with 27 percent of the ballots, and Republican Jimmy Wilson, a former state representative from Vivian in northern Caddo Parish.
In 1980, Roemer and Wilson again challenged Leach in the primary; also running was State Senator Foster Campbell of Bossier Parish.
That time, Wilson finished in third place, Roemer ranked second, again with 27 percent, and Leach led the field with 29 percent.
In the general election, with the support of Wilson, Roemer handily defeated Leach, who had the support of Campbell and many other state legislators, 64 to 36 percent.
In Congress, Roemer frequently supported Ronald Reagan's policy initiatives and fought with the Democratic congressional leadership, though he remained in the party.
In 1981, Roemer joined forty-seven other House Democrats in supporting the passage of the Reagan tax cuts, strongly opposed by Speaker O'Neill and Roemer's fellow Louisiana Democrat Gillis William Long of Alexandria.
Roemer, as the host governor and still a Democrat, welcomed the Republicans to New Orleans, where delegates in convention nominated Bush and Quayle.
In his first term in Congress, Roemer was denied a seat on the Banking Committee by the Democratic leadership and instead was assigned to the Public Works and Transportation Committee due to Roemer having voted with the Republican minority on extending the debate on House rules proposed by the Democratic majority.
Buddy Roemer was one of a large number of Democratic candidates to challenge three-term incumbent governor Edwin Edwards, whose flamboyant personality and reputation for questionable ethical practices had polarized voters.
His challengers were asked, in succession, if they would consider endorsing Edwards in the general election if they didn't make it to the runoff.
Boosted by his endorsement as the 'good government candidate' by nearly every newspaper in the state, Roemer stormed from last place in the polls and on election night, overtook Edwards and placed first in the primary election, with 33 percent of the vote compared with Edwards' 28 percent.
Edwards, recognizing he faced certain defeat, made the surprise announcement on election night that he would concede the race to Roemer.
By withdrawing, Edwards denied Roemer the opportunity to build a governing coalition in the general election race, thus denying him a decisive majority victory.
Roemer named the one-year state representative Dennis Stine of Lake Charles, a timber businessman, as the commissioner of administration, a post Stine held until the end of Roemer's term.
Other sources maintain that Sanderson was an effective chief of staff who left office solely to rehabilitate from a tragic automobile accident.
The majority of reform legislation was passed during the first months of the Roemer administration while Sanderson was chief of staff.
Roemer called a special session of the legislature to push an ambitious tax and fiscal reform program for state and local governments.
Roemer also acquired a reputation for being difficult to work with, something he had been frequently accused of as a member of the House as well.
Bolin also correctly predicted that Roemer would in time run for president, but Roemer did not seek the White House for another twenty-four years.
Edward J. Steimel, executive director of the pro-business lobby, the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, also applauded Roemer's early reform efforts.
Also in 1989, the Louisiana Board of Appeals recommended a pardon for political prisoner and victim of extreme racism during the racial integration of Louisiana's public schools, Gary Tyler.
Notwithstanding Governor Roemer's own father, Charles E. Roemer, II having been a strong advocate for African-American Civil Rights in his own political career in Louisiana, Governor Roemer refused to consider a pardon for Tyler in a racially charged environment where David Duke was gaining popularity and rising to prominent political power.
Gary Tyler had been in prison 14 years as of 1989, and as a result of Governor Roemer's decision to refuse to consider the appeal, the African-American would go on to serve an additional 27 years in the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola before finally being released in 2016.
In 1990, Roemer vetoed a bill – authored by Democratic Senator Mike Cross and supported by the influential Republican Senator Fritz Windhorst of Gretna and state Senate President, Allen Bares of Lafayette.
Bares had been supported by Roemer as Senate president over Sydney B. Nelson of Shreveport, who had been politicking behind the scenes for months for the position.
After two years, senators removed Bares from the position and returned previous president Sammy Nunez of Chalmette in St. Bernard Parish, it was seen as a striking rebuke to Roemer.
State Representative Woody Jenkins of Baton Rouge, one of the leading abortion foes in the legislature, said the prohibition regarding rape and incest is needed to prevent women from filing false claims in such matters.
State Senator Sydney Nelson said that he opposed the abortion ban because of the problems of unwanted children and defective births.
Staffers were asked to wear rubber bands on their wrists and were told to snap a band whenever they had negative thoughts.
Earlier, in 1989, Roemer had separated from his second wife, the former Patti Crocker, with the divorce final in 1990, after seventeen years of marriage.
The second Mrs. Roemer is now Patti Crocker Marchiafava of Elkin, North Carolina; the couple had one child, Dakota Frost Roemer, a businessman in Baton Rouge, who in 2012 married the former Heather Rae Gatte, daughter of Nacis and Patty Gatte of Iota, Louisiana.
In 1991, with his support, the legislature legalized fifteen floating casinos throughout Louisiana and video poker at bars and truck stops throughout the state.
In March 1991, Roemer switched to the Republican Party just months before the state elections, apparently at the urging of Bush White House Chief of Staff John H. Sununu.
The convention was held in New Orleans through the urging of longtime Louisiana Republican National Committeewoman Virginia Martinez, who had worked for Livingston in the previous campaign.
The convention, as expected, endorsed U.S. Representative Clyde C. Holloway, the favored candidate of the pro-life forces in the state, with whom Roemer was at odds at the time.
The 1991 gubernatorial contest included Roemer, Edwin Edwards, David Duke, and Eighth District Congressman Clyde Holloway of Forest Hill, who all ran in Louisiana's open primary.
One of the contributing factors to Roemer's defeat in the 1991 primary was a last-minute advertising barrage by Marine Shale owner Jack Kent.
Immediately after leaving office as governor, Roemer taught a course in economics for the spring semester 1992 at his alma mater, Harvard.
After the 1991 election cycle concluded, Roemer teamed up with a long-time friend, Joseph Traigle, to form The Sterling Group, Inc.
Having been squeezed out in 1991 between Edwards and Duke, Roemer chose to run on a much more conservative platform in 1995, emphasizing an anti-crime and anti-welfare stance.
Roemer held a wide lead for much of the campaign, but faded in the days before the primary election as State Senator Mike Foster, who switched affiliation from Democratic to Republican during the campaign, took conservative votes away from Roemer.
As a result, Roemer finished fourth with 18 percent of the vote, two percentage points from making the runoff, called the general election in Louisiana.
Roemer passed on the race, and Republican U.S. Representative David Vitter of Louisiana's 1st congressional district, which includes suburban New Orleans, was elected to succeed Breaux.
Vitter represented the house district held from 1977 to 1999 by Republican Bob Livingston, one of Roemer's gubernatorial rivals in 1987.
He formed a company that built retirement housing for retirees near universities, with alumni from each university being the target buyers.
He also founded Business First Bank, based in Baton Rouge, of which he is the current President and CEO, and his daughter-in-law, Heather, is the assistant vice president of human resources.
The state's horrible financial condition when he took office, his dependence on an inexperienced and sometimes rashly immature staff in his first year or so, an overly-ambitious legislative agenda and his own unpredictable dealings with individual legislators all contributed to the failures he suffered.
In April 2014, Roemer became a partner at The Young Turks, an online progressive news network founded and run by Cenk Uygur.
According to Uygur, the two met and bonded over their shared support of campaign finance reform, an issue that both Uygur and Roemer support and have spoken about extensively for many years.
According to their investment agreement, Roemer's firm is granted a seat on The Young Turks' advisory board, but does not enjoy editorial or content control.
In January 2011, Roemer told Baton Rouge television station WAFB that he was considering a bid for the U.S. presidency in 2012.
On July 21, 2011 at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, Roemer announced his entry as a candidate for the Republican nomination for President.
On March 3, 2011, Roemer announced the formation of an exploratory committee to prepare for a possible run for the 2012 presidential nomination of the Republican Party.
Pledging to limit campaign contributions to $100 per individual, Roemer appeared as one of five candidates at a 2011 March forum in Iowa sponsored by the Faith and Freedom Coalition.
But he was not invited to any of the Republican debates because he failed to meet the 7 percent minimum criterion for popularity in polls.
He was not even included as an option in several polls until the 2012 Iowa Caucus and the 2012 New Hampshire primary in early January.
This difference in campaign fundraising may be attributed to the fact that Roemer limited donations to $100 per U.S. citizen, and denied all PAC, Super PAC, and corporate donations.
Though he had talked of leaving the Republican Party to become an Independent after his presidential bid failed, the Louisiana secretary of state's office reports as of October 24, 2013, and again on February 1, 2016 that Roemer remains a registered Republican in East Baton Rouge Parish.
Bethune was known for ensuring that he received some time as a pilot when taking delivery of a new Continental Airlines Boeing 767 from Boeing and repositioning it from Seattle to Houston.
Bethune was born in San Antonio, Texas to Pearl Elley and Jack Bethune, who was serving in the U.S. Army at that time.
Bethune grew up in Austin, Texas and spent summers with his father, who owned an aerial crop dusting company in Hernando, Mississippi.
He rose to the rank of chief petty officer, chief warrant officer, and over time received his commission as a Lieutenant.

It can be distinguished from kwashiorkor in that kwashiorkor is protein deficiency with adequate energy intake whereas marasmus is inadequate energy intake in all forms, including protein.
This clear-cut separation of marasmus and kwashiorkor is however not always clinically evident as kwashiorkor is often seen in a context of insufficient caloric intake, and mixed clinical pictures, called marasmic kwashiorkor, are possible.
Protein wasting in kwashiorkor generally leads to edema and ascites, while muscular wasting and loss of subcutaneous fat are the main clinical signs of marasmus.
The prognosis is better than it is for kwashiorkor but half of severely malnourished children die due to unavailability of adequate treatment.
Both the causes and complications of the disorder must be treated, including infections, dehydration, and circulation disorders, which are frequently lethal and lead to high mortality if ignored.
Prevalence is higher in hospitalized children, especially ones with chronic illnesses, however an exact incidence of nonfatal marasmus is not known.
There are multiple forms of malnutrition and roughly 1/3 of the world’s population is currently experiencing one or more of them.
It is estimated that the prevalence of acute malnutrition in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States to be 6.1-14%.
Marasmus is more commonly seen in children under the age of 5 due to that age range being characterized as one that has an increase in energy need and susceptibility to viral and bacterial infections.
There exists screening tools and tests that can be used to help identify signs and symptoms of malnutrition in older adults.
The Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) is a validated malnutrition screening tool that is primarily used in the residential aged care facility or for adults in the inpatient/outpatient hospital setting.
Roberts Scott Blossom was born on March 25, 1924, in New Haven, Connecticut, to John Blossom, an athletic director at Yale University.
He attended Hawken School and graduated from Asheville School in 1941 and attended Harvard University for a year until he joined the United States Army and served in World War II in Europe.
He began directing and acting in productions at Karamu House and the Candlelight Theater in Cleveland and later moved to New York City, where he supported himself by bundling feathers for hats and he practiced a disputed therapy called Dianetics.
The documentary also featured his children Debbie and Michael, his first wife Beverly, and Ed Asner, Peter Brook and Robert Frank.
Blossom was formerly married to Beverly Schmidt Blossom, with whom he had a son, Michael, and who died on November 1, 2014 of cancer.
He was later married to Marylin Orshan Blossom until her death in 1982, with whom he had a daughter, Deborah Blossom.

Bolten attended Princeton University, where he studied in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and served as class president and president of The Ivy Club.
Formerly the Director of Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Bolten was confirmed by the U.S. Senate to that position in 2003.
He previously served as policy director for the 2000 George W. Bush presidential campaign from 1999 to 2000 and as Executive Director for Legal and Government Affairs at Goldman Sachs in London from 1994 to 1999.

Kamsky reached the final of the FIDE World Chess Championship 1996 at the age of 22, and reached a ranking of fourth in the world rankings in 1995.
In 1989 he moved to the United States with his father Röstäm (also spelled Rustam), a former boxer who dominated Gata, made him study chess almost exclusively and acted as his coach and manager.
In 1989, Gata Kamsky won a tournament in New York to earn the right to challenge Garry Kasparov to a two-game match; he lost that match later that year 0–2.
In 1990, while aged 16 and still untitled, he played in the 64-player Interzonal tournament in Manila, the first step towards the World Chess Championship.
Kamsky then scored 2½–½ in the remaining three games to tie the match 4–4 (+2=4−2), then won the two rapid chess playoff games to win the match.
In 1996, Kamsky played a 20-game match against Anatoly Karpov for the FIDE World Chess Championship 1996 title at Elista in Kalmykia, losing 7½–10½ (+3=9−6).
Kamsky's next rated games after his loss to Karpov were in 1999, when he returned to play in the FIDE Knockout World Championship event in Las Vegas, where he played a first-round, two-game match against the eventual tournament winner, Alexander Khalifman.
The first sighting of Kamsky after that came in March 2004 when ChessBase reported that Sam Sloan had spoken to him.
Kamsky did not play another game in public until June 15, 2004, when he participated in the 106th New York Masters, playing four games in a day with a time control of 30 minutes for all his moves.
He subsequently played in several other editions of the weekly event with mixed success, before returning to regular chess in the 2005 U.S. Championship held in November–December 2004 where he scored a respectable but unspectacular 5½–3½.
He retained this rating on the July 2005 list, but moved up to number 18, after a good unbeaten result at the 2005 HB Global Challenge tournament, held in Minneapolis in May, 2005.
On July 4, 2006, he tied for first place with nine others at the Philadelphia World Open, then won the play-off, winning about $7,000.
A number of successes in 2007 marked his return to the playing level he had before his retirement, hinting at the possibility of becoming again a challenger for the very top of the world's chess hierarchy.
Kamsky played in the FIDE Chess World Cup 2005, and qualified for the Candidates Tournament for the World Chess Championship 2007, in May–June 2007.
He won his first round match against Étienne Bacrot (+3−0=1), but was eliminated when he lost his second round match to Boris Gelfand +0−2=3.
Seeded 11th, he won his first three rounds and then defeated Peter Svidler, former FIDE world champion Ruslan Ponomariov and future world number-one Magnus Carlsen to reach the finals.
Kamsky's victory earned him a match against world number-one Veselin Topalov in 2009 for the right to challenge for the World Chess Championship 2010 against world champion Viswanathan Anand.
Although Kamsky won game four to level the match 2–2, Topalov scored +2 in the final 3 games (including an exciting last round victory on the White side of the French Defense) to win the match 4½–2½.
In January 2010 Kamsky won the 52nd Reggio Emilia chess tournament (he came equal first with Zoltán Almási, defeating him in the last round, but had a better Buchholz tiebreak).
In August 2010, Kamsky won clear first at the Open Grenke Rapid World Championship (Mainz Chess Classic), a Rapid Chess tournament, with 10/11, defeating world No.
5 and defending champion Levon Aronian, 2004 FIDE champion Rustam Kasimdzhanov, and Sergey Karjakin en route to the title ahead of Grischuk, Shirov and several other strong Grandmasters.
He won the tournament for the second consecutive year, becoming the first player since Lev Alburt in 1985 to win consecutive U.S. Championships; the title was his third career United States Championship.
As a finalist of the 2010 world championship cycle, Kamsky was given direct entry to the eight player Candidates Tournament to determine the challenger for the World Chess Championship 2012.
The candidates tournament began with best-of-four game match format in May 2011 in Kazan, with Kamsky facing Veselin Topalov in the quarterfinals.
With a win on the Black side of the Gruenfeld defense in the second game, Kamsky held on to defeat the top-seeded Topalov 2½–1½ to advance to the semifinals.
In the semifinals, he faced the 2009 Chess World Cup champion Boris Gelfand in a rematch of their 2007 Candidates tournament meeting won by Gelfand.
In the rapid tiebreaks, Kamsky won game 3 with black to take a 2–1 lead and needed only a draw with white in the final rapid game to advance to the final.
However, Gelfand won with black to force a blitz playoff, which he won 2–0 to eliminate Kamsky and reach the Candidates final.
In the round-robin stage, he drew Nakamura with black and then defeated Onischuk on the White side of the Ruy Lopez.
It is one of the city's most prominent nightlife and entertainment districts and is the center of the city's LGBT and counterculture communities.
Other significant streets are 10th, 12th, 15th, and 19th Avenues, all running north–south, and E. Pine, E. Pike, E. John, E. Thomas, and E. Aloha Streets and E. Olive Way, running east–west.
Of these streets, large portions of E. Pike Street, E. Pine Street, Broadway, 15th Avenue, and E. Olive Way are lined almost continuously with street-level retail.
The Pike-Pine corridor (the area between Pike and Pine street from Boren Avenue through 15th Street is another main thoroughfare of the neighborhood, full of coffeeshops, bars, restaurants, and other food or music related businesses.
James A. Moore, the real estate developer who platted much of the area, reportedly named it in the hope that the Washington state capitol would move to Seattle from Olympia.
Due to its one-time large Roman Catholic population, Capitol Hill was frequently referred to as Catholic Hill up until the 1980s.
Capitol Hill also has many distinguished apartment houses, including several by Fred Anhalt, as well as a few surviving Classical Revival complexes such as the Blackstone Apartments.
Since 1997, Capitol Hill has hosted the Capitol Hill Block Party annually in late July, an outdoor music festival that occurs on Pike Street between Broadway and 12th Ave and Union and Pine Street.
Bus transit service to and within Capitol Hill is provided by King County Metro, including electric trolleybus routes 10, 12, 43 and 49 of the Seattle trolleybus system.
A large 3-building development is currently under construction above the light rail station, with construction estimated to be complete in 2020.
The zoning exception was made by the City Council in exchange for an increase above the typical minimum percentage of affordable housing units.
Capitol Hill has a reputation as a bastion of musical culture in Seattle and is the neighborhood most closely associated with the grunge scene from the early 1990s, although most of the best-known music venues of that era were actually located slightly outside the neighborhood.
The music scene has transformed since those days and now a variety of genres (electronica, rock, punk, folk, salsa, hip hop and trance) are represented.
Most of the Hill's major thoroughfares are dotted with coffeehouses, taverns and bars, and residences cover the gamut from modest motel-like studio apartment buildings to some of the city's most historic mansions, with the two types sometimes shoulder-to-shoulder.
Capitol Hill is also home to two of the city's best-known movie theaters, both of which are part of the Landmark Theatres chain.
Both theaters are architectural conversions of private meeting halls: the Harvard Exit (now closed permanently) in the former home of the Woman's Century Club (converted in the early 1970s) and the Egyptian Theatre, in a former Masonic lodge (converted in the mid-1980s).
There is also Seattle's only cinematheque, the Northwest Film Forum, which in addition to screening films, teaches classes on filmmaking and produces film alongside Seattle's burgeoning filmmaking community.
The Broadway Performance Hall, located on the campus of Seattle Central College (SCC), also hosts a variety of lectures, performances, and films.
These theaters respectively host showings for the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) and the Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival every year.
Besides the large Seattle-based chains—Starbucks, Seattle's Best Coffee (now owned by Starbucks), and Tully's Coffee—Capitol Hill has been home to some of the city's most prominent locally owned coffeehouses.
The neighborhood is considered a test market for coffee houses by Starbucks Corporation, which placed two stealth Starbucks stores on Capitol Hill in 2009 and 2011.
Registered Historic Places on Capitol Hill include the Harvard-Belmont Landmark District, in which is located the original building of the Cornish College of the Arts; Volunteer Park, in which are the Seattle Asian Art Museum and Volunteer Park Conservatory; and The Northwest School.
In addition to Volunteer Park, parks on the Hill include the exquisite fountain and lawn themed Cal Anderson Park, Louisa Boren Park, Interlaken Park, Roanoke Park, and Thomas Street Park.
Lake View Cemetery, containing the graves of Bruce Lee and his son Brandon Lee, lies directly north of Volunteer Park, and the Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery north of it in turn.
Also on the Hill are The Northwest School, Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences, Hamlin Robinson School, St. Joseph School, Holy Names Academy, Seattle Hebrew Academy, Seattle Preparatory School, Seattle University, Seattle Central Community College, and St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral.
The First African Methodist Episcopal Church was originally incorporated in 1891 as the Jones Street Church (when 14th Avenue was called Jones Street).
The First Methodist Protestant Church of Seattle, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was remodeled and is now occupied by a design and marketing firm.
Temple De Hirsch Sinai, whose Alhadeff Sanctuary was designed by B. Marcus Priteca, among others, is just south of Madison Street, placing it technically in the Central District.
Born in Southport, Lancashire (now Merseyside), England, she emigrated to Canada on August 26, 1948 with her mother Edna, her father Harry and younger brother Gary.
Burroughs started acting in live theatre at Ontario's famous Stratford Festival, including starring as Portia in The Merchant of Venice in 1976.
In 2001, she was awarded the Earle Grey Award for her contributions to arts and entertainment over the years by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television.
In 2005, Burroughs received a Governor General's Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement, Canada's highest honour in the performing arts.
Like most of her sister ships, she saw extensive action during the Guadalcanal campaign, including the Battle of Cape Esperance and the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, during which she was heavily damaged and her captain and admiral killed.
Her bridge wings, damaged during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal and removed during repairs, are now mounted on a promontory in Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
Originally classified as a light cruiser before she was laid down due to her thin armor, she was reclassified as a heavy cruiser because of her 8-inch guns.
After an extensive shakedown cruise – which included operations off Mexico, in Hawaiian waters, off Washington and British Columbia, and a voyage to the Panama Canal Zone — the cruiser returned to the Mare Island Navy Yard.
A few weeks later, she was back off the northwest coast for fleet tactics, and in July, she steamed farther north to Alaska.
In August, she returned to California and, through the end of 1938, San Francisco continued to range the eastern Pacific, cruising from the state of Washington to Peru and from California to Hawaii.
In January 1939, she departed the west coast to participate in Fleet Problem XX, conducted in the Atlantic east of the Lesser Antilles.
Departing Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in early April, she called at ports on the east coast of that continent, moved through the Strait of Magellan and visited west coast ports, then in early June, transited the Panama Canal to complete her voyage around the continent.
The cruiser carried freight and passengers to San Juan, Puerto Rico, thence sailed for a patrol of the West Indies as far south as Trinidad.
On 14 October, she completed her patrol back at San Juan and headed for Norfolk, where she remained into January 1940.
On 11 January, she headed for Guantanamo Bay, where she was relieved as flagship by , where she returned to the Pacific.
Transiting the Panama Canal in late February, she called at San Pedro and, in March, continued on to her new home port, Pearl Harbor, where she rejoined CruDiv 6.
In May 1940, she steamed northwest to the Puget Sound Navy Yard for an overhaul, during which she also received four guns.
In early May 1941, she became flagship of CruDiv 6; and, at the end of July, she moved east for a cruise to Long Beach, California, returning to Hawaii on 27 August.
At 0755, Japanese planes began bombing dives on Ford Island, and by 0800, the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was well underway.
On 14 December, the cruiser left the yard; the scaling of her keel had been postponed in favor of more necessary repairs on other ships.
However, when Wake Island fell to the Japanese on 23 December, TF 14 was diverted to Midway Atoll which it reinforced.
In TF 8, she steamed toward Samoa to rendezvous with, and cover the off-loading of, transports carrying reinforcements to Tutuila, Samoa.
On the 10th, she rejoined CruDiv 6, then in TF 11, and she set a course for an area northeast of the Solomon Islands to strike Rabaul.
During the next few days, TF 11 – centered around — conducted operations in the South Pacific Area, then headed for New Guinea to participate with TF 17 in a raid against Japanese shipping and installations.
A. Thomas, and the radioman, O. J. Gannan, had headed for Australia, sailing the plane backwards as it tended to head into the prevailing east wind.
In five days and 21 hours, they had covered approximately 385 miles (715 km) on a course within 5 degrees of that intended.
At the end of May, she headed west, escorting convoy PW 2076, made up of transports carrying the 37th Army Division, destined for Suva, and special troops bound for Australia.
On 11 October, at about 1615, the ships commenced a run northward from Rennel Island, to intercept an enemy force of two cruisers and six destroyers reported heading for Guadalcanal from the Buin-Faisi, Bougainville Island area.
By 2330, when the warships were approximately northwest of Savo Island, they turned to make a further search of the area.
Then, the battle was reopened and continued until 0020 on 12 October, when surviving Japanese ships retired toward the Shortland Islands.
On 31 October 1942, the newly designated TF 65 departed from Espiritu Santo, the ships again headed into the Solomon Islands to cover troop landings on Guadalcanal.
At the same time, she became the target of off her starboard bow and of a destroyer which had crossed her bow and was passing down her port side.
A direct hit on the navigation bridge killed or badly wounded all officers, except for the communications officer, Lieutenant Commander Bruce McCandless.
For her participation in the action of the morning of the 13th, and for that of the night of 11–12 October, she received the Presidential Unit Citation.
Her forward superstructure was remodeled, with the bridge wings cut back, and most of the bridge windows either plated over or replaced by portholes.
A large open bridge was built out at the 02 level, and modern SG surface search radar and air search radars added.
She then headed north to the Aleutian Islands to join the North Pacific Force, TF 16, and reached Alaska toward the end of the month.
She patrolled the western approaches to the area; participated in the assault and occupation of Attu in May and of Kiska in July; and performed escort duties.
On 29 January, the division, screened by destroyers, left the formation and moved against Japanese installations on Maloelap to neutralize them during the conquest of Kwajalein.
On 8 February, the cruiser sailed for Majuro, whence she would operate as a unit of TF 58, the fast carrier task force.
On 20 March, the group returned to Majuro, refueled, and departed again on 22 March to move against the Western Carolines.
On 14 June, she commenced two days of shelling Tinian, and after the landings on Saipan shifted to fire support duties.
From 18–20 July, she shelled enemy positions, supported beach demolition units, and provided night harassing and defense repair interdiction in the Agat and Faci Point areas.
On 31 October, she steamed west again, and on 21 November arrived at Ulithi, where she resumed flagship duties for CruDiv 6.
The force then headed for the Bashi Channel and a five-day, high-speed strike against enemy surface units in the South China Sea and against installations along the coast of Indochina.
On 15–16 January, the Hong Kong-Amoy-Swatow area was hit, and on 20 January, the force passed through Luzon Strait to resume operations against Formosa.
On 22 January, strikes were launched against the Ryukyu Islands, and the next day, the force headed for the Western Carolines.
On 18 February, the force moved toward the Volcano and Bonin Islands, and on 19 February, covering operations for the Iwo Jima assault began.
That night, she retired and the next morning moved back in to support the landings and supply counter battery fire on Aka, Keruma, Zamami, and Yakabi Islands.
On that day, she took up station in fire support sector 5, west of Naha, and, for the next five days, shelled enemy emplacements, caves, pillboxes, road junctions, and tanks, truck, and troop concentrations.
The next day, she returned to Kerama Retto, there proceeding to Okinawa and operations with TF 54 in the transport area.
On 20 May, she shifted to Kutaka Shima, and by the night of 22 May, she had depleted her supply of ammunition for her main batteries.
On 30 May, the cruiser returned to the western side of Okinawa and, for the next two weeks, supported operations of the 1st and 6th Marine Divisions.
Her guns fired 11,022 203mm shells, 24,191 127mm shells, 70,243 40mm shells and 73,904 20mm shells and her crew suffered 267 combat casualties.
The crew consumed 3,983,712 kg of edible provisions, ate 332,937 kg of beef, ate 925,328 kg of potatoes, ate 5,760,000 slices of bread and smoked 1,838,780 packs of cigarettes.
After a show of force in the Yellow Sea and Gulf of Pohai areas, she covered minesweeping operations, and on 8 October anchored at Inchon, Korea.
From 13–16 October, she participated in another show of force operation in the Gulf of Pohai area, then returned to Inchon, where Rear Admiral Jerauld Wright, Commander, CruDiv 6, acted as senior member of the committee for the surrender of Japanese naval forces in Korea.
Arriving at San Francisco in mid-December, she continued on to the east coast on 5 January 1946, and arrived at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for inactivation on 19 January.
Decommissioned on 10 February, she was berthed with the Philadelphia Group of the Atlantic Reserve Fleet until 1 March 1959, when her name was struck from the Naval Vessel Register.
On 9 September, she was sold to the Union Mineral and Alloys Corp., New York, and scrapped at Panama City, Florida in 1961.
The bridge wings were removed as part of that repair, and are now part of a memorial to the ship on a promontory in Lands End, San Francisco at Golden Gate National Recreation Area overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
For the same action, three members of her crew were awarded the Medal of Honor: Lieutenant Commander Herbert E. Schonland, Lieutenant Commander Bruce McCandless, and Boatswain's Mate 1st Class Reinhardt J. Keppler (posthumous).
Capellas served as chairman and CEO of First Data Corporation, acting CEO of Serena Software, chairman and CEO of Compaq Computer Corporation until its merger with Hewlett-Packard where he became president of the post-merger company briefly, and president and CEO of WorldCom (later MCI) where he led its merger with Verizon.
Capellas claims that he inherited a gritty determination from his father, a Greek citizen who fought with the Greek Army against the Germans in Italy in World War II.
The two married in 1979, and for the next 20 years they traveled around the world as Capellas climbed the ranks of each company he joined.
In 1999, when president and chief executive officer (CEO) Eckhard Pfeiffer was forced to resign after a boardroom coup led by chairman Benjamin M. Rosen, Rosen took on the capacity of interim CEO while Capellas was elevated to COO.
As chairman and CEO of Compaq between 1999 and 2001, Capellas helped repair the relationship between Microsoft and Compaq, which had eroded over the years.
In 2001, Capellas led Compaq into an acquisition by Hewlett-Packard, but the deal was delayed for eight months because of a proxy and boardroom battle within HP.
Finally, on May 3, 2002, Hewlett-Packard announced approval of the acquisition and Capellas became president of the post-merger Hewlett-Packard, under CEO Carly Fiorina, to ease the integration of the two companies.
However, Capellas was reported not to be happy with his role, being said not to be utilized and being unlikely to become CEO as the board supported Fiorina.
His former role of president was not filled as the executives who reported to him then reported directly to the CEO.
He led a successful restructuring of the organization, one of the largest in corporate history, and stepped down as CEO after MCI's merger with Verizon in 2006.
In December 2006, Capellas was appointed acting CEO of Serena Software, selected by Silver Lake Partners, the company that took Serena private in March 2006 and where Capellas served as a senior advisor.
The position was to become effective upon the completion of the leveraged buyout (LBO) of First Data by private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts.
In 2010 it was announced he would be chairman and CEO of VCE, a joint venture of Cisco Systems and EMC Corporation with investment from Intel and VMware that specializes in cloud computing.
Capellas is on the board of directors for Cisco, and was on the national board of the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
Pedro Francisco Carmona Estanga (born 6 July 1941), is a former Venezuelan business leader who was briefly installed as President of Venezuela in place of Hugo Chávez, following the attempted military coup in April 2002.
An economist educated at Andrés Bello Catholic University in Caracas and in Belgium, he headed a large petrochemical company, Venoco, that processes automotive oils.
On April 11, 2002, following clashes between both supporters and opponents of Chávez, Lucas Rincón, commander-in-chief of the Venezuelan Armed Forces, announced in a nationwide broadcast that Chávez had tendered his resignation from the presidency.
While Chávez was brought to a military base and held there, military leaders appointed Carmona as the transitional President of Venezuela.
In the face of crowds of Chávez supporters taking to the streets and under pressure from some quarters of the military, Chávez was restored to office.
Additionally, security forces conducted raids without warrants and took some Chávez supporters into custody illegally, including National Assembly deputy Tarek William Saab, a member of the Chávez-aligned MVR, who was taken into protective custody by security forces after a large crowd had gathered around his home, threatening him and his family.
After the coup, Carmona was placed under house arrest, but he was able to gain asylum in the Colombian embassy after an anti-Chávez protest drew away his security detail.
According to some sources, Colin Powell held at least one meeting with the exiled Carmona in Bogotá in December 2002 during the Venezuelan general strike of 2002–03.
There were strong opposition within the United States Department of State that using Carmona was not in the interest of US policy.
Big opponents were the Latin American desk that oversaw Venezuela, which included Stephen Richardson, head of delegate, Frank Lapel, Economic Geologist and Alexander Salvi, Economic Analyst.
Three future Avalanches members formed Alarm 115 in Melbourne in 1994 as a noise punk outfit inspired by Drive Like Jehu, The Fall, and Ultra Bide.
The line-up was Robbie Chater on keyboards, Tony Di Blasi on keyboards, bass and backing vocals, and Darren Seltmann on vocals.
In 1997 a new group consisting of Chater, Di Blasi, Seltmann, and Gordon McQuilten on keyboards was assembled to play the tracks live.
Starting in July, their first four shows were played under different names: Swinging Monkey Cocks, Quentin's Brittle Bones, and Whoops Downs Syndrome.
James Dela Cruz was added to the live line-up on turntables and keyboards, and made his debut with the band at The Palace, St Kilda, supporting Public Enemy.
The band's official Facebook page was later updated in 2015, listing James Dela Cruz as a member of the band once again.
In April 2016, the Avalanches added new images of a gold butterfly on black cloth to their social media accounts and official website.
On 24 May, the group posted a video poking fun at their long hiatus since their last album and the continuous speculation of a follow-up release.
Seltmann broke his ankle during the band's Electric Ballroom show in London, while Dela Cruz suffered a concussion on-stage at the V2001 festival.
Brains was a monthly club-night held outdoors behind the tiny Melbourne bar St Jeromes', and featured regular DJ sets from the Avalanches' Chater, Seltmann and Di Blasi.
Their Brains' performances were usually soca-inspired DJ sets, but included anything from the Highlife guitar music of West Africa to unusual re-edits of 1980s acid house tracks, and sometimes new Avalanches material.
Far from a typical world music DJ set, the Brains' nights were extremely loud and celebratory, with people overflowing into Caledonian Lane, the band bringing in a special P.A.
The Brains' experience toured Australia in early 2005, and spilled over into the band's DJ sets at that year's St Jerome's Laneway Festival and Meredith Music Festival.
The Avalanches continued DJing at Australian festivals such as Golden Plains and Splendour in the Grass throughout 2006 and into 2007, although these sets were a return to a heavier, club sound and markedly different from the previous Brains' DJ sets.
Their live setup feature Chater on bass and Di Blasi on turntables, alongside guest musicians Paris Jeffree on drums, Spank Rock as MC, and Eliza Wolfgramm on vocals.
Playing outdoors at the Sydney Opera House, The Avalanches headlined and were joined by 'special guests' DJ Shadow, Briggs, Sampa the Great, Jonti and DJ JNETT.
It is a remake of the 1933 film of the same name about a giant ape that is captured and taken to New York City for exhibition.
Fred Wilson, an executive of the Petrox Oil Company, forms an expedition based on infrared imagery which reveals a previously undiscovered Indian Ocean island hidden by a permanent cloud bank.
Wilson believes that the island holds vast untapped deposits of oil, a potential fortune which he is determined to secure for Petrox.
Prescott reveals himself when he warns the crew that the cloud bank may be caused by some unknown, and potentially dangerous, phenomenon.
While being escorted to lock-up, Prescott spots a life raft which, upon inspection, is found to be carrying a young woman who is unconscious.
After conducting a thorough background check on the 'spy', Wilson realizes that he is telling the truth and appoints Prescott as the expedition's official photographer, requesting that, due to his medical training, he be present when the woman revives.
When she does regain consciousness, she says her name is Dwan, and states that she is an aspiring actress who was aboard a director's yacht, which suddenly and inexplicably exploded.
The tribal chief shows an immediate interest in the blonde Dwan, offering to trade several of the native women for her, an offer firmly rejected by Jack.
The team then learn that while the island does indeed contain large deposits of oil, it is of such low quality that it is unusable.
Later that night, the natives secretly board the ship and kidnap Dwan, drugging her and offering her as a sacrifice to a giant, monstrous ape known as Kong.
Although he is an awesome and terrifying sight, the kind-hearted Kong quickly becomes infatuated by Dwan, whose rambling monologue both calms and fascinates the great ape, taming his baser, more violent instincts.
After Dwan falls into mud, Kong takes her to a waterfall to wash her up and dries her with great gusts of his warm breath.
Enraged by the intrusion into his territory, Kong starts to roll the huge log, sending Carnahan and all but one of the team plummeting to their deaths, leaving Jack and Crewman Boan as the only surviving ones alive.
Meanwhile, Kong takes Dwan to his lair, but as he starts to undress her, a giant boa constrictor appears and attacks them.
When Kong discovers Jack and Dwan escaping, he violently kills the snake and chases them through the jungle back to the native village.
Smashing down the huge gates, Kong falls into a pit trap that Wilson and the crew have dug, where he is overwhelmed by chloroform.
After learning that the oil cannot be refined, Wilson has instead decided to salvage the expedition by transporting the captive Kong to America as a promotional gimmick for Petrox.
When they finally reach New York City, Kong is put on display, bound in chains with a large cage around his body from the neck down and a large crown on his head.
When Kong sees a group of reporters pushing and shoving Dwan for interviews, the ape, thinking that she is being provoked, breaks free of his bonds.
A stampede ensues as panic engulfs the throng, with people crushed and trampled by Kong's massive feet as he walks through the crowd searching for Dwan.
Jack and Dwan flee across the Queensboro Bridge to Manhattan and take refuge in an abandoned bar, where Jack notices a similarity between the Manhattan skyline (notably the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center) and the mountainous terrain of Kong's island.
He runs downstairs to call the mayor's office and agrees to tell them on the condition that Kong is captured alive.
When the mayor's office agrees, Jack tells them to let Kong climb to the top of the World Trade Center, where he can be safely captured.
Before Jack can return, Kong, using his enhanced senses, discovers Dwan and snatches her from the bar before making his way to the World Trade Center with Jack and the National Guard catching up in pursuit.
Kong climbs to the roof of the South Tower of the World Trade Center, where he is attacked by soldiers armed with flamethrowers, much to Jack's dismay.
He rips off pieces of equipment from the roof and throws them at the soldiers, killing them when he throws a tank of flammable material.
Dwan desperately pleads for the military to break off their assault and let Kong live, but the pilots only continue to attack the giant ape.
As Dwan approaches the wounded Kong and puts out her hand to touch him, he rolls over the edge of the roof to his death, finally crashing to the plaza hundreds of feet below.
Dwan rushes down to comfort Kong and tearfully watches him as the giant ape takes his last breath and dies peacefully.
An enormous crowd gathers around Dwan and Kong's corpse while Jack fights his way through the crowd to get to Dwan.
In December 1974, Michael Eisner, then an executive for ABC, watched the original film on television and struck on the idea for a remake.
He pitched the idea to Barry Diller, the chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures, who then enlisted veteran producer Dino De Laurentiis to work on the project.
Diller and De Laurentiis provisionally agreed that Paramount would pay half of the film's proposed $12 million budget in return for the distribution rights in the United States and Canada if the former could purchase the film rights of the original film.
De Laurentiis later contacted his friend Thomas F. O'Neil, president of General Tire and RKO-General, who informed him that the film rights were indeed available.
Later, De Laurentiis and company executive Frederic Sidewater entered formal negotiations with Daniel O'Shea, a semi-retired attorney for RKO-General, who requested a percentage of the film's gross.
After finalizing the agreement with Paramount, De Laurentiis and Sidewater began meeting with foreign distributors and set the film's release for Christmas 1976.
During their collaboration on the project, De Laurentiis already had two ideas in mind—that the film would set in present day and the climax would set on top of the newly constructed World Trade Center.
Because of the risen sophistication in audiences' tastes since the original film, Semple sought to maintain a realistic tone, but infuse the script with a sly, ironic sense of humor that the audiences could laugh at.
Having settled on the mood, Semple retained the basic plotline and set pieces from the original film, but updated and reworked other elements of the story.
Inspired by the then-ongoing energy crisis and a suggestion from his friend Jerry Brick, Semple changed the expedition to being mounted by Petrox Corporation, a giant petroleum conglomerate whom suspected that Kong's island has unrefined oil reserves.
In its original story outline, Petrox would discover Kong's island from a map hidden in the secret archives at the Vatican Library.
The reasons for the dropped subplot was due to the increased attention on Kong and Dwan's love story and financial reasons as De Laurentiis did not want to use stop-motion animation in the film.
It would later be replaced with Petrox discovering the island through obtained classified photos taken by a United States spy satellite.
Within a month, the 140-page first draft incorporated the character of Dwan (who according to the script was originally named Dawn until she switched the two middle letters to make it more memorable), the updated rendition of Ann Darrow from the 1933 film.
Meryl Streep has said that she was considered for the role of Dwan, but was deemed too unattractive by producer Dino De Laurentiis.
Guillermin, who was known to have had outbursts from time to time on the set, got into a public shouting match with executive producer Federico De Laurentiis (son of producer Dino De Laurentiis).
After the incident, De Laurentiis was reported to have threatened to fire Guillermin if he did not start treating the cast and crew better.
Rick Baker, who designed and wore the ape suit in collaboration with Carlo Rambaldi, was extremely disappointed in the final suit, which he felt was not at all convincing.
The only time that the collaboration of Baker and Rambaldi went smoothly was during the design of the mechanical Kong mask.
Baker's design and Rambaldi's cable work combined to give Kong's face a wide range of expression that was responsible for much of the film's emotional impact.
Shooting of this scene took place in the channel between Los Angeles and Catalina Island during the last week in January 1976.
On one of the nights of filming Kong's death at the World Trade Center, over 30,000 people showed up at the site to be extras for the scene.
Although the crowd was well behaved, the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (owner of the World Trade Center complex) became concerned that the weight of so many people would cause the plaza to collapse, and ordered the producers to shut down the filming.
Separate masks were necessary as there were too many cables and mechanics required for all the expressions to fit in one single mask.
Despite months of preparation, the final device proved to be impossible to operate convincingly, and is only seen in a series of brief shots totaling less than 15 seconds.
This album was released on CD, first as a bootleg by the Italian label Mask in 1998, and then as a legitimate, licensed release by Film Score Monthly in 2005.
With a bargain price set $150,000, Stane had negotiated an offer of $200,000 plus 5 percent of the film's net profit.
In contrast, De Laurentiis had offered $200,000 plus 3 percent of the film's gross—and 10 percent if the film recouped two and a half its negative cost.
In the wake of the agreement, Shane claimed that O'Shea had verbally accepted Universal's offer although no official paperwork was signed.
A few days later, Universal filed suit against De Laurentiis and RKO-General in Los Angeles Superior Court for $25 million on charges of breach of contract, fraud, and intentional interference with advantageous business relations.
Universal had claimed that their remake was based on the two-part serialization by Edgar Wallace and a novelization by Delos W. Lovelace adapted from the screenplay that had been published shortly before the film's release in 1933.
In September 1976, a federal judge ruled in favor of Universal that Lovelace's novelization had fallen into public domain which cleared the studio to produce a remake.
The film made $52 million in the United States and Canada and just over $90 million worldwide on a $24 million budget.
However, he was critical of the use of the World Trade Center instead of the Empire State Building during the climax, but he praised the performances by Bridges and Grodin and the special effects creation of Kong.
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 53% based on 38 reviews with an average rating of 4.8/10.
They paid De Laurentiis $19.5 million for the rights to two showings over five years, which was the highest amount any network had ever paid for a film at that time.
Additionally, in order to obtain a lower, family-friendly TV rating, overtly violent or sexual scenes in the theatrical version were trimmed down or replaced with less explicit takes, and all swearing or potentially offensive language was removed.
Following the September 11 attacks, Paramount Home Video voluntarily recalled all retail DVD copies, and was later reissued with a different cover.
A 527-organization or 527 group is a type of U.S. tax-exempt organization organized under Section 527 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code ().
A 527 group is created primarily to influence the selection, nomination, election, appointment or defeat of candidates to federal, state or local public office.
The organizations must register with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), publicly disclose their donors and file periodic reports of contributions and expenditures.
Because they may not expressly advocate for specific candidates or coordinate with any candidate’s campaign, many 527s are used to raise money to spend on issue advocacy and voter mobilization.
Examples of 527s are Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, Texans for Truth, The Media Fund, America Coming Together, the Progress for America Voter Fund, and the Secretary of State Project.
Thus, organizations could run ads discussing candidates and issues without being subject to campaign finance restrictions, so long as they avoided such express advocacy.
Based on that decision, many persons urged the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to use its regulatory power to extend campaign finance laws to cover these groups.
The Commission held hearings in April 2004 to determine whether or not 527s should be regulated under campaign finance rules, but concluded that the law did not cover these independent 527 organizations unless they directly advocated the election or defeat of a candidate or engaged in broadcast advertising mentioning within the 30- and 60-day windows specified by Congress in the McCain-Feingold law.
Nevertheless, Federal Election Commission rulings after the 2004 election attempted to extend the reach of the law to advertisements which questioned a candidate's character and fitness for office off limits to 527s specifically.
A February 2010 poll from the Pew Research Center found that 68 percent of Americans disapprove of the Supreme Court's decision to allow corporations to make expenditures on behalf of candidates during elections.
An October 2010 Bloomberg poll found that 47 percent of Americans say they would be less likely to support a political candidate if his campaign was supported by advertising paid for by anonymous business groups.
According to the pollster, 41 percent said that it would not matter, and 9 percent said they would be more likely to back the candidate.
Although 527 organizations were in common use by the 1990s, in the wake of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, which limited the ability of political parties to raise money, 527s rose to much greater prominence and visibility.
Swift Boat was one such group, which ran controversial and highly effective ads critical of Massachusetts Democratic Party (United States) John Kerry presidential campaign, 2004.
On the liberal side, contributor George Soros contributed $23.7 million to 527s, and Peter Lewis of Progressive Insurance contributed another $23.2 million to 527s in 2004.
The heavy spending of key 527 groups to attack presidential candidates brought complaints to the Federal Elections Commission of illegal coordination between the groups and rival political campaigns.
In 2006 and 2007 the FEC fined a number of organizations, including MoveOn and Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, for violations arising from the 2004 campaign.
The FEC's rationale was that these groups had specifically advocated the election or defeat of candidates, thus making them subject to federal regulation and its limits on contributions to the organizations.

He was born in a Hindu family, with the birth name as Lehna, in the village of Harike (now Sarae Naga, near Muktsar) in northwest Indian subcontinent.
Instead of his own son, he chose a Vaishnava Hindu Amar Das as his successor and the third Guru of Sikhism.
Guru Angad was born in a village, with birth name of Lehna, to Hindu parents living in northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent called the Punjab region.
Before becoming a Sikh and his renaming as Angad, Lehna was a religious teacher and priest who performed services focussed on Durga (Devi Shaktism, the goddess tradition of Hinduism).
Bhai Lehna in his late 20s sought out Guru Nanak, became his disciple, and displayed deep and loyal service to his Guru for about six to seven years in Kartarpur.
Several stories in the Sikh tradition describe reasons why Bhai Lehna was chosen by Guru Nanak over his own sons as his successor.
One of these stories is about a jug which fell into mud, and Guru Nanak asked his sons to pick it up.
Then he asked Bhai Lehna, who however picked it out of the mud, washed it clean, and presented it to Guru Nanak full of water.
After the death of Guru Nanak on 22 September 1539, Guru Angad left Kartarpur for the village of Khadur Sahib (near Goindwal Sahib).
Post succession, at one point, very few Sikhs accepted Guru Angad as their leader and while the sons of Guru Nanak claimed to be the successors.
The second Mughal Emperor of India Humayun visited Guru Angad at around 1540 after Humayun lost the Battle of Kannauj, and thereby the Mughal throne to Sher Shah Suri.
According to Sikh hagiographies, when Humayun arrived in Gurdwara Mal Akhara Sahib at Khadur Sahib Guru Angad was sitting and teaching children.
Humayun lashed out but the Guru reminded him that the time when you needed to fight when you lost your throne you ran away and did not fight and now you want to attack a person engaged in prayer.
In the Sikh texts written more than a century after the event, Guru Angad is said to have blessed the emperor, and reassured him that someday he will regain the throne.
Before his death, Guru Angad, following the example set by Guru Nanak, nominated Guru Amar Das as his successor (The Third Nanak).
Before he converted to Sikhism, Amar Das had been a religious Hindu (Vaishnava, Vishnu focussed), reputed to have gone on some twenty pilgrimages into the Himalayas, to Haridwar on river Ganges.
On his return, he heard Bibi Amro, the daughter of the Guru Angad who had married into a Hindu family, singing a hymn by Guru Nanak.
Amar Das learnt from her about Guru Angad, and with her help met the second Guru of Sikhism in 1539, and adopted Guru Angad as his spiritual Guru who was much younger than his own age.
Sikh tradition states that he woke up in the early hours to fetch water for Guru Angad's bath, cleaned and cooked for the volunteers with the Guru, as well devoted much time to meditation and prayers in the morning and evening.
Guru Angad is credited in the Sikh tradition with the Gurmukhi script, which is now the standard writing script for Punjabi language in India, in contrast to Punjabi language in Pakistan where now an Arabic script called Nastaliq is the standard.
The script may have already been developing before the time of Guru Angad, because there is evidence that at least one hymn was written in acrostic form by Guru Nanak, which state Cole and Sambhi gives proof that the alphabet already existed.
A part of the popular Sikh belief is that Guru Angad invented the script, but this belief lacks evidence and is suspect.
He also wrote 62 or 63 Saloks (compositions), which together constitute about one percent of the Guru Granth Sahib, the primary scripture of Sikhism.
Guru Angad is notable for systematizing the institution of langar in all Sikh temple premises, where visitors from near and far could get a free simple meal in a communal seating.
Unlike acute intermittent porphyria, individuals with HCP can present with cutaneous findings similar to those found in porphyria cutanea tarda in addition to the acute attacks of abdominal pain, vomiting and neurological dysfunction characteristic of acute porphyrias.
Biochemical and molecular testing can be used to narrow down the diagnosis of a porphyria and identify the specific genetic defect.
Clinically, patients affected with HCP present similarly to those with other acute porphyrias, such as acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) and variegate porphyria (VP).
This includes the acute attacks of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tachycardia, hypertension and seizures, as well as the cutaneous findings seen in porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT), namely increased skin fragility, bullous lesions after exposure to sunlight and increased scarring.
It is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, meaning that a deficiency of 50% of the normal enzyme activity is enough to cause symptoms.
Along with other acute porphyrias HCP demonstrates reduced penetrance, meaning not all individuals who carry a disease-causing mutation will express symptoms.
HCP is a rare disease, but the exact incidence is difficult to determine due to the reduced penetrance of the acute porphyrias.
The diagnosis of any porphyria is often delayed due to the rarity of the disease as well as the varied and non-specific findings that patients present with.
VP presents similarly, but can be distinguished based on urine and stool porphyrin analysis, typically done using high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection.
Typically, the distinguishing metabolite for HCP and VP is the presence of protoporphyrin in the plasma and feces of individuals affected with VP.
Coproporphyrinuria can be caused by other stressors to the heme biosynthetic pathway, such as liver disease, lead poisoning and certain bone marrow disorders.
Hospitalization is typically required for administration of hemin, and appropriate drug selection is key to avoid exacerbating symptoms with drugs that interact poorly with porphyrias.
Proper drug selection is most difficult when it comes to treatment of the seizures that can accompany HCP, as most anti-seizure medications can make the symptoms worse.
In patients where management of symptoms is difficult even with hemin, liver transplant is an option before the symptoms have progressed to advanced paralysis.
Long term treatment of acute porphyrias is centered on the avoidance of acute attacks by eliminating precipitating factors, such as drugs, dietary changes, and infections.
Because of the reduced penetrance of HCP, family members of a patient may carry the same mutation without ever presenting with symptoms.
Jeff Hyslop (born May 30, 1951 in Vancouver, British Columbia) is a Canadian musical theatre actor, singer, dancer, choreographer, and director.
Aside from Chiriko and Utena, her famous roles are in Air (Misuzu Kamio), Bleach (Soifon), Chrono Crusade (Rosette Christopher), Hikaru no Go (Hikaru Shindo), Sgt.
She also made her name voicing the heroine in the Harukanaru Toki no Naka de series, based from the Neoromance game with the same title produced by Koei in 2000.
During a three-year battle with cancer, most of her ongoing roles were replaced by other voice actresses, although Kawakami was able to do some voice work.
Variegate porphyria, also known by several other names, is an autosomal dominant porphyria that can have acute (severe but usually not long-lasting) symptoms along with symptoms that affect the skin.
In addition to the health problems described above, children with this disorder may have mental retardation and grow more slowly than other children.
The PPOX gene makes a membrane bound mitochondrial enzyme called protoporphyrinogen oxidase, which is critical to the chemical process that leads to heme production.
Nongenetic factors such as certain drugs, stress, and others listed above can increase the demand for heme and the enzymes required to make heme.
The combination of this increased demand and reduced activity of protoporphyrinogen oxidase disrupts heme production and allows byproducts of the process to accumulate in the liver, triggering an acute attack.
Variegate porphyria is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means the defective gene is located on an autosome, and inheriting one copy of the defective gene from an affected parent is sufficient to cause the disorder.
It has previously been thought that the PPOX gene was located on human chromosome 14, however mapping experiments (FISH) have shown that it is near 1q23.
A 2006 clinical, biochemical and mutational study of eight Swiss variegate porphyria patients and their families found four novel PPOX gene mutations believed to be unique to the Swiss population.
Diagnosis is by finding raised urine porphyrins, raised faecal porphyrins, markedly raised plasma porphyrins (pathognomic) and finding photosensitive cutaneous lesions on clinical examination.
Hepatoerythropoietic porphyria has been described as a homozygous form of porphyria cutanea tarda, although it can also be caused if two different mutations occur at the same locus.
The disease is characterized by onycholysis and blistering of the skin in areas that receive higher levels of exposure to sunlight.
The primary cause of this disorder is a deficiency of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD), a cytosolic enzyme that is a step in the enzymatic pathway that leads to the synthesis of heme.
While a deficiency in this enzyme is the direct cause leading to this disorder, there are a number of both genetic and environmental risk factors that are associated with PCT.
Typically, patients who are ultimately diagnosed with PCT first seek treatment following the development of photosensitivities in the form of blisters and erosions on commonly exposed areas of the skin.
Though blisters are the most common skin manifestations of PCT, other skin manifestations like hyperpigmentation (as if they are getting a tan) and hypertrichosis (mainly on top of the cheeks) also occur.
In addition to the symptomatic manifestation of the disease in the skin, chronic liver problems are extremely common in patients with the sporadic form of PCT.
Additionally, patients will often void a wine-red color urine with an increased concentration of uroporphyrin I due to their enzymatic deficiency.
The most frequently cited deficiencies are those of beta-Carotene, retinol, vitamin A and vitamin C. Beta-Carotene is required to synthesize vitamin A and vitamin A is needed to synthesize retinol.
The damaging effects of porphyrins interacting with iron, absorbing photons to then emit reactive oxygen species is the mechanism of action that results in the itchy, painful blisters that are common with PCT.
The reactive oxygen species that are formed interact with and exhaust the antioxidants in the skin, primarily those of beta-carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C. Supplementation of these three vitamins has been shown to decrease these oxidative effects and potentially diminish the severity of blister formation.
No single vitamin of these three will inhibit the damaging effects of oxidized porphyrins, specifically uroporphyrins and coproporphyrins, but all three working together synergistically are capable of neutralizing their damaging effects.
The activity of this enzyme is usually reduced by 50% in all tissues in people with the inherited form of the condition.
Nongenetic factors such as alcohol abuse, excess iron, and others listed above can increase the demand for heme and the enzymes required to make heme.
The combination of this increased demand and reduced activity of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase disrupts heme production and allows byproducts of the process to accumulate in the body, triggering the signs and symptoms of porphyria cutanea tarda.
In the 20% of cases where porphyria cutanea tarda is inherited, it is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means one copy of the altered gene is sufficient to decrease enzyme activity and cause the signs and symptoms of the disorder.
While inherited deficiencies in uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase often lead to the development of PCT, there are a number of risk factors that can both cause and exacerbate the symptoms of this disease.
Additional risk factors include alcohol abuse, excess iron (from iron supplements as well as cooking on cast iron skillets), and exposure to chlorinated cyclic hydrocarbons and Agent Orange.
Therefore, a deficiency in this enzyme causes the aforementioned buildup of uroporphyrinogen and hepta-carboxylic porphyrinogen, and to a lesser extent hexa-carboxylic porphyrinogen, and penta-carboxylic porphyrinogen in the urine, which can be helpful in the diagnosis of this disorder.
The dermatological symptoms of PCT that include blistering and lesions on sun-exposed areas of the skin are caused by a buildup of porphyrin compounds (specifically uroporphyrinogen) close to the surface of the skin that have been oxidized by free radicals or sunlight.
Due to the highly conjugated structure of porphyrins involving alternating single and double carbon bonds, these compounds exhibit a deep purple color, resulting in the discoloration observed in the skin.
Excess alcohol intake decreases hepcidin production which leads to increased iron absorption from the gut and an increase in oxidative stress.
This oxidative stress then leads to inhibition of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase, creating an excess of uroporphyrinogen III which is oxidized from the relatively harmless porphyrinogens into their reduced porphyrins form.
Concentrated instances of oxidative stress (alcohol, physical trauma, psychological stress, etc) cause the liver to hemorrhage these porphyrins into the blood stream where they are then susceptible to oxidation.
These can oxidize the UROD substrate uroporphyrinogen, which can result in the inhibition of UROD and lead to deficient activity of this key enzyme.
It is thought to do so by causing oxidative damage to liver cells, resulting in oxidized species of uroporphyrinogen that inhibit the activity of hepatic UROD.
It is also felt to increase the uptake of iron in liver cells, leading to further oxidation of uroporphyrinogen by the release of activated oxygen species.
Additionally, exposure to chlorinated cyclic hydrocarbons can lead to a deficiency in the activity of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase, causing the buildup of excess uroporphyrinogen.
Additionally, alcohol has been shown to increase the activity of the delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase (ALA synthetase), the rate-limiting enzymatic step in heme synthesis in the mitochondria, in rats.
While the most common symptom of PCT is the appearance of skin lesions and blistering, their appearance does not single-handedly lead to a conclusive diagnosis.
Additionally, testing for common risk factors such as Hepatitis C and hemochromatosis is strongly suggested, as their high prevalence in patients with PCT may require additional treatment.
One study used 74% as the cutoff for UROD activity, with those patients under that number being classified as type II, and those above classified as type III if there was a family history, and type I if there was not.
Genetic variants associated with hemochromatosis have been observed in PCT patients, which may help explain inherited PCT not associated with UROD.
Primarily, it is key that patients diagnosed with PCT avoid alcohol consumption, iron supplements, excess exposure to sunlight (especially in the summer), as well as estrogen and chlorinated cyclic hydrocarbons, all of which can potentially exacerbate the disorder.
Additionally, the management of excess iron (due to the commonality of hemochromatosis in PCT patients) can be achieved through phlebotomy, whereby blood is systematically drained from the patient.
In the absence of iron, which is to be incorporated in the porphyrin formed in the last step of the synthesis, the mRNA of erythroid 5-aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS-2) is blocked by attachment of an iron-responsive element (IRE) binding cytosolic protein, and transcription of this key enzyme is inhibited.
They work by removing excess porphyrins from the liver via increasing the excretion rate by forming a coordination complex with the iron center of the porphyrin as well as an intramolecular hydrogen bond between a propionate side chain of the porphyrin and the protonated quinuclidine nitrogen atom of either alkaloid.
Due to the presence of the chlorine atom, the entire complex is more water soluble allowing the kidneys to preferentially remove it from the blood stream and expel it through urination.
Chloroquine treatment can induce porphyria attacks within the first couple of months of treatment due to the mass mobilization of porphyrins from the liver into the blood stream.
Complete remission can be seen within 6–12 months as each dose of antimalarial can only remove a finite amount of porphyrins and there are generally decades of accumulation to be cleared.
Finally, due to the strong association between PCT and Hepatitis C, the treatment of Hepatitis C (if present) is vital to the effective treatment of PCT.
The exact frequency is not clear because many people with the condition never experience symptoms and those that do are often misdiagnosed with anything ranging from idiopathic photodermatitis and seasonal allergies to hives.
This is because people with the disease tend to avoid the sun due to photosensitivity and may develop disfigurement that eats away their noses, eyelids, lips, and gums giving their teeth a fang-like appearance.
It has also been suggested they may have developed a craving for healthy blood to replace their own in a self medicated treatment in prior centuries.
Some Folklore scholars claim that this is a mistake, first suggested in the 1990s, as vampires of myth did not have photosensitivity, nor were they described as looking like the modern incarnation of vampires.
They were described as unintelligent roaming beings who fed on their victims to the point that they became reddened and heavily bloated, fattened on blood.
Count Dracula, of Bram Stroker's novel, himself could walk about freely in daylight unharmed but not as powerful in the book.
It arises from a deficiency in the enzyme ferrochelatase, leading to abnormally high levels of protoporphyrin in the red blood cells (erythrocytes), plasma, skin, and liver.
EPP usually first presents in childhood, and most often affects the face and the upper surfaces of the arms, hands, and feet and the exposed surfaces of the legs.
Most patients, if the EPP is not as severe, manifest symptoms with onset of puberty when the male and female hormone levels elevate during sexual development and maintenance.
A lack of diagnostic markers for liver failure makes it difficult to predict which patients may experience liver failure, and the mechanism of liver failure is poorly understood.
A retrospective European study identified 31 EPP patients receiving a liver transplant between 1983 and 2008, with phototoxic reactions in 25% of patients who were unprotected by surgical light filters.
Frequent liver testing is recommended in EPP patients where no effective therapy has been identified to manage liver failure to date.
EPP photosensitivity symptoms are reported to lessen in some female patients during pregnancy and menstruation, although this phenomenon is not consistent, and the mechanism is not understood.
Most cases of EPP are results of inborn errors of metabolism but the metabolic defect in some patients may be acquired.
Mutation of the gene that encodes for ferrochelatase in the long arm of chromosome 18 is found in majority of the cases.
Symptoms do not occur unless FECH activity is less than 30% of normal, but such low levels are not present in a majority of patients.
Some protoporphyrin in bile is returned to the liver as a consequence of the enterohepatic circulation; the remaining protoporphyrin in the intestine undergoes fecal excretion.
Since FECH deficiency is associated with increased concentrations of protoporphyrin in erythrocytes, plasma, skin and liver, retention of protoporphyrin in skin predisposes to acute photosensitivity.
As a result of absorption of ultraviolet and visible light (peak sensitivity at 400 nm, with lesser peaks between 500-625 nm) by protoporphyrin in plasma and erythrocytes when blood circulates through the dermal vessels, free radicals are formed, erythrocytes become unstable and injury to the skin is induced.
EPP is generally suspected by the presence of acute photosensitivity of the skin and can be confirmed by detection of a plasmatic fluorescence peak at 634 nm.
It is also useful to find increased levels of protoporphyrin in feces and the demonstration of an excess of free protoporphyrin in erythrocytes.
Liver biopsy confirms hepatic disease in EPP by the presence of protoporphyrin deposits in the hepatocytes that can be observed as a brown pigment within the biliary canaliculi and the portal macrophages.
There is no cure for this disorder; however, symptoms can usually be managed by limiting exposure to daytime sun and some types of artificial lighting.
Color temperature can be a good indicator of what light is most detrimental, as the higher the color temperature, the more violet light (380-450 nm) is emitted.
Since the photosensitivity results from light in the visible spectrum, most sunscreens are of little use (with the exception of non-nano zinc oxide which provides uniform protection between 290-400 nm and some protection up to 700 nm).
Sun protective clothing can also be very helpful, although clothing with UPF values are only rated based on their UV protection (up to 400 nm) and not on their protection from the visible spectrum.
Some sun protective clothing manufacturers use zinc oxide in their fabrics, such as Coolibar's ZnO Suntect line, which will offer protection from visible light.
Window films which block UV and visible light up to 450 nm can provide relief from symptoms if applied to the patient's automobile and home windows.
Ocushield makes screen protectors that are accredited class one medical devices (which block 90% of light between 380-420 nm and up to 40% between 420-500 nm).
Afamelanotide, developed by Australian-based Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals, was approved in Europe in December 2014 for treatment or prevention of phototoxicity in adults with EPP.
Bone marrow transplantation, liver transplantation, acetylcysteine, extracorporeal albumin dialysis, parenteral iron and transfusion of erythrocytes are alternative plans for treatment of EEP.
The prevalence has been estimated somewhere between 1 in 75,000 and 1 in 200,000 however it has been noted that the prevalence of EPP may be increasing due to a better understanding of the disease and improved diagnosis.
The submarine film is a subgenre of war film in which the majority of the plot revolves around a submarine below the ocean's surface.
Films of this subgenre typically focus on a small but determined crew of submariners battling against enemy submarines or submarine-hunter ships, or against other problems ranging from disputes amongst the crew, threats of mutiny, life-threatening mechanical breakdowns, or the daily difficulties of living on a submarine.
The genre plays on the psychological tension of the submarine's crew and their unseen enemy, signified by a soundscape that may feature explosions, the ping of sonar, the creaking of the submarine's hull under extreme pressure, the alarm ordering the submarine to dive, and the threatening sound signatures of a destroyer's propellor or of an approaching torpedo.
Some 150 films have been made in the submarine genre between 1910 and 2010, variously depicting submarines in relatively realistic stories about World War I, World War II or the Cold War, or purely fictional and fantastic scenarios.
A distinctive element in this genre is the soundtrack, which attempts to bring home the emotional and dramatic nature of conflict under the sea.
The unseen outside means the enemy: this may be from nature, with elements such as water pressure threatening to crush the hull, sea monsters, or underwater rocks; or human opponents.
Meanwhile, the inside of the submarine represents the human warmth and trust of the crew for each other and for their captain, their lives bound together by the situation.
To this scenario can be added elements from within such as mutiny, fire, discord, or accidents including radiation leakage; and from outside such as water, terrorism, disease, and weapons, while the plot may feature sudden switches from being the hunter to being the hunted.
The soundscape may depict the creaking of the hull under pressure: as Koldau observes, this is both realistic and metaphoric, standing in for the fear and the responsibility on the shoulders of the crew.
Stress may further be expressed in the acoustic signature of specifically submarine threats, such as the swelling sound of an approaching destroyer's propellor, the soft buzz of an enemy torpedo, or the submarine's own alarm ordering an immediate dive.
Another element of the soundscape less often remarked upon is simply silence, which can mean both safety (nothing is happening) and unseen danger, creating tension.
This is a list of movies, grouped by the era in which they were made, in which a submarine plays a significant role in the storyline.
Popularity of the term among teenagers rose in the mid-2000s, with the spread from the Internet written form to use in spoken language.
Baruch Samuel Blumberg (July 28, 1925April 5, 2011) — known as Barry Blumberg — was an American physician, geneticist, and co-recipient of the 1976 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (with Daniel Carleton Gajdusek), for his work on the hepatitis B virus while an investigator at the NIH.
He first attended the Orthodox Yeshivah of Flatbush for elementary school, where he learned to read and write in Hebrew, and to study the Bible and Jewish texts in their original language.
Blumberg then attended Brooklyn's James Madison High School, a school that Blumberg described as having high academic standards, including many teachers with Ph.D.s.
After moving to Far Rockaway, Queens, he transferred to Far Rockaway High School in the early 1940s, a school that also produced fellow laureates Burton Richter and Richard Feynman.
Originally entering the graduate program in mathematics at Columbia University, Blumberg switched to medicine and enrolled at Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons, from which he received his MD in 1951.
He remained at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center for the next four years, first as an intern and then as a resident.
He then moved to the University of Oxford and began graduate work in biochemistry at Balliol College, Oxford and earned his DPhil there in 1957.
Throughout the 1950s, Blumberg traveled the world taking human blood samples, to study the genetic variations in human beings, focusing on the question of why some people contract a disease in a given environment, while others do not.
Blumberg and his team were able to develop a screening test for the hepatitis B virus, to prevent its spread in blood donations, and developed a vaccine.
Deployment of the vaccine reduced the infection rate of hepatitis B in children in China from 15% to 1% in 10 years.
In 1964, Blumberg became a member of the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) of the Lankenau Hospital Research Institute in Philadelphia, known today as the Lankenau Institute for Medical Research (LIMR), which later joined the Fox Chase Cancer Center in 1974, and he held the rank of University Professor of Medicine and Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania starting in 1977.
From 1999 to 2002, he was also director of the NASA Astrobiology Institute at the Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California.
In 1992, Blumberg participated in the founding of the Hepatitis B Foundation (HBF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding a cure for hepatitis B and improving the lives of those affected by hepatitis B worldwide.
He served on the Scientific and Medical Advisory Board, and as its Distinguished Scholar from 1992 until his passing in 2011.
In 2001, Blumberg was named to the Library of Congress Scholars Council, a body of distinguished scholars that advises the Librarian of Congress.
In November 2004, Blumberg was named Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board of United Therapeutics Corporation, a position he held until his death.
In October 2010, Blumberg participated in the USA Science and Engineering Festival's Lunch with a Laureate program, in which middle and high school students of the Greater Washington D.C., Northern Virginia and Maryland area got to engage in an informal conversation with a Nobel Prize–winning scientist over a brown-bag lunch.
In discussing the factors that influenced his life, Blumberg always gave credit to the mental discipline of the Jewish Talmud, and as often as possible, he attended weekly Talmud discussion classes until his death.
Blumberg died on April 5, 2011, shortly after giving the keynote speech at the International Lunar Research Park Exploratory Workshop held at NASA Ames Research Center.
At the time of his death Blumberg was a Distinguished Scientist at the NASA Lunar Science Institute, located at the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California.
In 2011, the Library of Congress and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced the establishment of the Baruch S. Blumberg NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology, a research position housed within the Library's John W. Kluge Center, which explores the effects of astrobiology research on society.
In 2011, in recognition of Blumberg's long professional and personal association with the Department of Biochemistry and the Glycobiology Institute, Oxford University established the Baruch Blumberg Professorship in Virology.
It was the fifth in the so-called Corman-Poe cycle of eight films largely featuring adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe stories produced by Roger Corman and released by AIP.
Set during the 15th century, the sorcerer Dr. Erasmus Craven (Vincent Price) has been mourning the death of his wife Lenore (Hazel Court) for over two years, much to the chagrin of his daughter Estelle (Olive Sturgess).
Bedlo explains he had been transformed by the evil Dr. Scarabus (Boris Karloff) in an unfair duel, and both decide to see Scarabus, Bedlo to exact revenge and Craven to look for his wife's ghost, which Bedlo reportedly saw at Scarabus' castle.
After fighting off the attack of Craven's coachman, who apparently acted under the influence of Scarabus, they set out to the castle, joined by Craven's daughter Estelle and Bedlo's son Rexford (Jack Nicholson).
At the castle, Scarabus greets his guests with false friendship, and Bedlo is apparently killed as he conjures a storm in a last act of defiance against his nemesis.
Craven, meanwhile, is visited and tormented by Lenore, who is revealed to be alive and well too, having faked her death two years before to move away with Scarabus.
Bedlo panics and begs Scarabus to turn him back into a raven rather than torture him; he flees the dungeon by flying away.
Roger Corman says that Lorre's improvisations confused both Vincent Price and Boris Karloff, but Price adapted to it well while Karloff struggled.
There was a slight edge to it, because Boris came in with a carefully worked out preparation, so when Peter started improvising lines, it really threw Boris off from his preparation.
Corman says the hostility between Jack Nicholson and Peter Lorre as father and son came from the actors rather than the script.
The film presently holds a score of 92% with an average rating of 6.6 out of 10 on the review-aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes based on 12 reviews.
A novelization of the film was written by Eunice Sudak adapted from Richard Matheson's screenplay and published by Lancer Books in paperback.
Inspired by optical effects and perception inherent in the color theories of Michel Eugène Chevreul, Ogden Rood and others, Seurat adapted this scientific research to his painting.
Seurat contrasted miniature dots or small brushstrokes of colors that when unified optically in the human eye were perceived as a single shade or hue.
He believed that this form of painting, called Divisionism at the time (a term he preferred) but now known as Pointillism, would make the colors more brilliant and powerful than standard brushstrokes.
To make the experience of the painting even more vivid, he surrounded it with a frame of painted dots, which in turn he enclosed with a pure white, wooden frame, which is how the painting is exhibited today at the Art Institute of Chicago.
The Island of la Grande Jatte is located at the very gates of Paris, lying in the Seine between Neuilly and Levallois-Perret, a short distance from where La Défense business district currently stands.
Although for many years it was an industrial site, it is today the site of a public garden and a housing development.
The painting was first exhibited at the eighth (and last) Impressionist exhibition in May 1886, then in August 1886, dominating the second Salon of the Société des Artistes Indépendants, of which Seurat had been a founder in 1884.
Seurat was extremely disciplined, always serious, and private to the point of secretiveness—for the most part, steering his own steady course.
For Parisians, Sunday was the day to escape the heat of the city and head for the shade of the trees and the cool breezes that came off the river.
On the right, a fashionable couple, the woman with the sunshade and the man in his top hat, are on a stroll.
There is a small man with the black hat and thin cane looking at the river, and a white dog with a brown head, a woman knitting, a man playing a horn, two soldiers standing at attention as the musician plays, and a woman hunched under an orange umbrella.
Seurat also painted a man with a pipe, a woman under a parasol in a boat filled with rowers, and a couple admiring their infant child.
In the painting's center stands a little girl dressed in white (who is not in a shadow), who stares directly at the viewer of the painting.
The historian's focal point was Seurat's mechanical use of the figures and what their static nature said about French society at the time.
Afterward, the work received heavy criticism by many that centered on the artist's mathematical and robotic interpretation of modernity in Paris.
The border of the painting is, unusually, in inverted color, as if the world around them is also slowly inverting from the way of life they have known.
In the first stage, which was started in 1884, Seurat mixed his paints from several individual pigments and was still using dull earth pigments such as ochre or burnt sienna.
In the second stage, during 1885 and 1886, Seurat dispensed with the earth pigments and also limited the number of individual pigments in his paints.
His intention was to paint small dots or strokes of pure color that would then mix on the retina of the beholder to achieve the desired color impression instead of the usual practice of mixing individual pigments.
Additionally, Seurat used then new pigment zinc yellow (zinc chromate), predominantly for yellow highlights in the sunlit grass in the middle of the painting but also in mixtures with orange and blue pigments.
In the century and more since the painting's completion, the zinc yellow has darkened to brown—a color degeneration that was already showing in the painting in Seurat's lifetime.
The discoloration of the originally bright yellow zinc yellow (zinc chromate) to brownish color is due to the chemical reaction of the chromate ions to orange-colored dichromate ions.
The results of investigation into the discoloration of this painting have been ingeniously combined with further research into natural aging of paints to digitally rejuvenate the painting.
On 15 April 1958, a fire there, which killed one person on the second floor of the museum, forced the evacuation of the painting, which had been on a floor above the fire in the Whitney Museum, which adjoined MoMA at the time.
In Topiary Park (formerly Old Deaf School Park) in Columbus, Ohio, sculptor James T. Mason re-created the painting in topiary form; the installation was completed in 1989.
The painting was the inspiration for a commemorative poster printed for the 1993 Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix, with racing cars and the Detroit skyline added.
In physics, the Faraday effect or Faraday rotation is a magneto-optical phenomenon—that is, an interaction between light and a magnetic field in a medium.
The Faraday effect causes a rotation of the plane of polarization which is linearly proportional to the component of the magnetic field in the direction of propagation.
The theoretical basis of electromagnetic radiation (which includes visible light) was completed by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860s and 1870s and Oliver Heaviside.
The Faraday effect is caused by left and right circularly polarized waves propagating at slightly different speeds, a property known as circular birefringence.
Since a linear polarization can be decomposed into the superposition of two equal-amplitude circularly polarized components of opposite handedness and different phase, the effect of a relative phase shift, induced by the Faraday effect, is to rotate the orientation of a wave's linear polarization.
For instance, the Faraday effect has been used to measure optical rotatory power and for remote sensing of magnetic fields (such as fiber optic current sensors).
Faraday rotators can be used for amplitude modulation of light, and are the basis of optical isolators and optical circulators; such components are required in optical telecommunications and other laser applications.
By 1845, it was known through the work of Fresnel, Malus, and others that different materials are able to modify the direction of polarization of light when appropriately oriented, making polarized light a very powerful tool to investigate the properties of transparent materials.
He spent considerable effort looking for evidence of electric forces affecting the polarization of light through what are now known as electro-optic effects, starting with decomposing electrolytes.
Faraday observed that when a beam of polarized light passed through the glass in the direction of an applied magnetic force, the polarization of light rotated by an angle that was proportional to the strength of the force.
The linear polarized light that is seen to rotate in the Faraday effect can be seen as consisting of the superposition of a right- and a left- circularly polarized beam (this superposition principle is fundamental in many branches of physics).
We can look at the effects of each component (right- or left-polarized) separately, and see what effect this has on the result.
In circularly polarized light the direction of the electric field rotates at the frequency of the light, either clockwise or counter-clockwise.
In a material, this electric field causes a force on the charged particles comprising the material (because of their low mass, the electrons are most heavily affected).
The motion thus effected will be circular, and circularly moving charges will create their own (magnetic) field in addition to the external magnetic field.
There will thus be two different cases: the created field will be parallel to the external field for one (circular) polarization, and in the opposing direction for the other polarization direction – thus the net B field is enhanced in one direction and diminished in the opposite direction.
This changes the dynamics of the interaction for each beam and one of the beams will be slowed down more than the other, causing a phase difference between the left- and right-polarized beam.
When the two beams are added after this phase shift, the result is again a linearly polarized beam, but with a rotation in the polarization direction.
A full treatment would have to take into account the effect of the external and radiation-induced fields on the wave function of the electrons, and then calculate the effect of this change on the refractive index of the material for each polarization, to see whether the right- or left-circular polarization is slowed down more.
A positive Verdet constant corresponds to L-rotation (anticlockwise) when the direction of propagation is parallel to the magnetic field and to R-rotation (clockwise) when the direction of propagation is anti-parallel.
By placing a rod of this material in a strong magnetic field, Faraday rotation angles of over 0.78 rad (45°) can be achieved.
This allows the construction of Faraday rotators, which are the principal component of Faraday isolators, devices which transmit light in only one direction.
The Faraday effect can, however, be observed and measured in a Terbium-doped glass with Verdet constant as low as (≈ for 632 nm light).
The effect is imposed on light over the course of its propagation from its origin to the Earth, through the interstellar medium.
Here, the effect is caused by free electrons and can be characterized as a difference in the refractive index seen by the two circularly polarized propagation modes.
Faraday rotation is an important tool in astronomy for the measurement of magnetic fields, which can be estimated from rotation measures given a knowledge of the electron number density.
In the case of radio pulsars, the dispersion caused by these electrons results in a time delay between pulses received at different wavelengths, which can be measured in terms of the electron column density, or dispersion measure.
A measurement of both the dispersion measure and the rotation measure therefore yields the weighted mean of the magnetic field along the line of sight.
The same information can be obtained from objects other than pulsars, if the dispersion measure can be estimated based on reasonable guesses about the propagation path length and typical electron densities.
In particular, Faraday rotation measurements of polarized radio signals from extragalactic radio sources occulted by the solar corona can be used to estimate both the electron density distribution and the direction and strength of the magnetic field in the coronal plasma.
The ionosphere consists of a plasma containing free electrons which contribute to Faraday rotation according to the above equation, whereas the positive ions are relatively massive and have little influence.
Since the density of electrons in the ionosphere varies greatly on a daily basis, as well as over the sunspot cycle, the magnitude of the effect varies.
However the effect is always proportional to the square of the wavelength, so even at the UHF television frequency of 500 MHz (λ = 60 cm), there can be more than a complete rotation of the axis of polarization.
A consequence is that although most radio transmitting antennas are either vertically or horizontally polarized, the polarization of a medium or short wave signal after reflection by the ionosphere is rather unpredictable.
However the Faraday effect due to free electrons diminishes rapidly at higher frequencies (shorter wavelengths) so that at microwave frequencies, used by satellite communications, the transmitted polarization is maintained between the satellite and the ground.
Considering the atomic arrangement is different along the (100) and (110) plane, one might think the Faraday rotation is polarization dependent.
Based on the large Faraday rotation, one might be able to use GaAs to calibrate the B field of the terahertz electromagnetic wave which requires very fast response time.
The combination of the two is described by gyroelectromagnetic media, for which gyroelectricity and gyromagnetism (Faraday effect) may occur at the same time.
In organic materials, Faraday rotation is typically small, with a Verdet constant in the visible wavelength region on the order of a few hundred degrees per Tesla per meter, decreasing proportional to formula_8 in this region.
While the Verdet constant of organic materials does increase around electronic transitions in the molecule, the associated light absorption makes most organic materials bad candidates for applications.
Researchers claim that the magnitude of the magneto-optical enhancement is governed primarily by the spectral overlap of the magneto-optical transition and the plasmon resonance.
Because of the large density of photon states in the cavity, the interaction between the electromagnetic field of the light and the electronic transitions of the magnetic material is enhanced, resulting in a larger difference between the velocities of the right- and left-hand circularized polarization, therefore enhancing Faraday rotation.
In mathematics, a regular polytope is a polytope whose symmetry group acts transitively on its flags, thus giving it the highest degree of symmetry.
Regular polytopes are the generalized analog in any number of dimensions of regular polygons (for example, the square or the regular pentagon) and regular polyhedra (for example, the cube).
A regular polytope can be represented by a Schläfli symbol of the form {a, b, c, ..., y, z}, with regular facets as {a, b, c, ..., y}, and regular vertex figures as {b, c, ..., y, z}.
A concise symbolic representation for regular polytopes was developed by Ludwig Schläfli in the 19th Century, and a slightly modified form has become standard.
The Schläfli symbol for the dual polytope is just the original symbol written backwards: {3, 3} is self-dual, {3, 4} is dual to {4, 3}, {4, 3, 3} to {3, 3, 4} and so on.
For example, the vertex figure of {3, 3, 4} is {3, 4}, the dual of which is {4, 3} — a cell of {4, 3, 3}.
The subsequent history of the regular polytopes can be characterised by a gradual broadening of the basic concept, allowing more and more objects to be considered among their number.
Various star polyhedra appear in Renaissance art, but it was not until Johannes Kepler studied the small stellated dodecahedron and the great stellated dodecahedron in 1619 that he realised these two were regular.
It was not until the 19th century that a Swiss mathematician, Ludwig Schläfli, examined and characterised the regular polytopes in higher dimensions.
His efforts were first published in full in , six years posthumously, although parts of it were published in and .
In five and more dimensions, there are exactly three regular polytopes, which correspond to the tetrahedron, cube and octahedron: these are the regular simplices, measure polytopes and cross polytopes.
By the end of the 19th century, mathematicians such as Arthur Cayley and Ludwig Schläfli had developed the theory of regular polytopes in four and higher dimensions, such as the tesseract and the 24-cell.
It consists of two cubes in parallel hyperplanes with corresponding vertices cross-connected in such a way that the 8 cross-edges are equal in length and orthogonal to the 12+12 edges situated on each cube.
The 24-cell can be derived from the tesseract by joining the 8 vertices of each of its cubical faces to an additional vertex to form the four-dimensional analogue of a pyramid.
From the mathematical point of view, however, these objects have the same aesthetic qualities as their more familiar two and three-dimensional relatives.
There is an equivalent (non-recursive) definition, which states that a polytope is regular if it has a sufficient degree of symmetry.
So for example, the cube is regular because if we choose a vertex of the cube, and one of the three edges it is on, and one of the two faces containing the edge, then this triplet, or flag, (vertex, edge, face) can be mapped to any other such flag by a suitable symmetry of the cube.
In the first part of the 20th century, Coxeter and Petrie discovered three infinite structures {4, 6}, {6, 4} and {6, 6}.
They called them regular skew polyhedra, because they seemed to satisfy the definition of a regular polyhedron — all the vertices, edges and faces are alike, all the angles are the same, and the figure has no free edges.
He developed the theory of polystromata, showing examples of new objects he called regular apeirotopes, that is, regular polytopes with infinitely many faces.
It seems to satisfy the definition of a regular polygon — all the edges are the same length, all the angles are the same, and the figure has no loose ends (because they can never be reached).
More importantly, perhaps, there are symmetries of the zig-zag that can map any pair of a vertex and attached edge to any other.
A complex number has a real part, which is the bit we are all familiar with, and an imaginary part, which is a multiple of the square root of minus one.
This concept may be easier for the reader to grasp if one considers the relationship of the cube and the hemicube.
An ordinary cube has 8 corners, they could be labeled A to H, with A opposite H, B opposite G, and so on.
The edge AB would become the same edge as GH, and the face ABEF would become the same face as CDGH.
By 1994 Grünbaum was considering polytopes abstractly as combinatorial sets of points or vertices, and was unconcerned whether faces were planar.
Certain restrictions are imposed on the set that are similar to properties satisfied by the classical regular polytopes (including the Platonic solids).
The restrictions, however, are loose enough that regular tessellations, hemicubes, and even objects as strange as the 11-cell or stranger, are all examples of regular polytopes.
Thus, any geometric polytope may be described by the appropriate abstract poset, though not all abstract polytopes have proper geometric realizations.
But non-regular classical polytopes can have regular abstract equivalents, since abstract polytopes don't care about angles and edge lengths, for example.
The traditional way to construct a regular polygon, or indeed any other figure on the plane, is by compass and straightedge.
To obtain a fold-out net of a polyhedron, one takes the surface of the polyhedron and cuts it along just enough edges so that the surface may be laid out flat.
Since the Platonic solids have only triangles, squares and pentagons for faces, and these are all constructible with a ruler and compass, there exist ruler-and-compass methods for drawing these fold-out nets.
The same applies to star polyhedra, although here we must be careful to make the net for only the visible outer surface.
If this net is drawn on cardboard, or similar foldable material (for example, sheet metal), the net may be cut out, folded along the uncut edges, joined along the appropriate cut edges, and so forming the polyhedron for which the net was designed.
For example, klikko provides sets of plastic triangles, squares, pentagons and hexagons that can be joined edge-to-edge in a large number of different ways.
A child playing with such a toy could re-discover the Platonic solids (or the Archimedean solids), especially if given a little guidance from a knowledgeable adult.
Clearly, in a 3-dimensional universe, it is impossible to build a physical model of an object having 4 or more dimensions.
Depth in a third dimension is represented with horizontal relative displacement, depth in a fourth dimension with vertical relative displacement between the left and right images of the stereograph.
The second approach is to embed the higher-dimensional objects in three-dimensional space, using methods analogous to the ways in which three-dimensional objects are drawn on the plane.
One might even imagine building a model of this fold-out net, as one draws a polyhedron's fold-out net on a piece of paper.
Sadly, we could never do the necessary folding of the 3-dimensional structure to obtain the 4-dimensional polytope because of the constraints of the physical universe.
Such models are occasionally found in science museums or mathematics departments of universities (such as that of the Université Libre de Bruxelles).
The intersection of a four (or higher) dimensional regular polytope with a three-dimensional hyperplane will be a polytope (not necessarily regular).
If the hyperplane is moved through the shape, the three-dimensional slices can be combined, animated into a kind of four dimensional object, where the fourth dimension is taken to be time.
In this way, we can see (if not fully grasp) the full four-dimensional structure of the four-dimensional regular polytopes, via such cutaway cross sections.
This is analogous to the way a CAT scan reassembles two-dimensional images to form a 3-dimensional representation of the organs being scanned.
The ideal would be an animated hologram of some sort, however, even a simple animation such as the one shown can already give some limited insight into the structure of the polytope.
The viewer would be inside one of the cubes, and would be able to see cubes in front of, behind, above, below, to the left and right of himself.
If one could travel in these directions, one could explore the array of cubes, and gain an understanding of its geometrical structure.
However, a 4-polytope can be considered a tessellation of a 3-dimensional non-Euclidean space, namely, a tessellation of the surface of a four-dimensional sphere (a 4-dimensional spherical tiling).
The mathematics department at UIUC has a number of pictures of what one would see if embedded in a tessellation of hyperbolic space with dodecahedra.
This is because of an important theorem in the study of abstract regular polytopes, providing a technique that allows the abstract regular polytope to be constructed from its symmetry group in a standard and straightforward manner.
Hudson was the subject of significant media attention in 2008 when her mother, brother, and nephew were killed in a shooting.
She resumed public appearances the following year, with a high-profile performance at Super Bowl XLIII as well as other mainstream events.
Hudson has been described as a friend of former President Barack Obama, who invited her to appear with him at a fundraiser in Beverly Hills during his first term in May 2009.
She is the third and youngest child of Darnell Donerson (November 7, 1950 – October 24, 2008) and Samuel Simpson (died 1999).
At age 7 she got her start in performing by singing with the church choir and doing community theater with the help of her late maternal grandmother, Julia.
She enrolled at Langston University but she left after a semester due to homesickness and unhappiness with the weather, and registered at Kennedy–King College.
In the interview she stated the song would be included on her debut album, to be released in early 2007; however, this was before she was signed to a record label.
In addition, she has been named Best Supporting Actress by the Broadcast Film Critics Association and also by the Screen Actors Guild.
On February 11, 2007, the 60th British Academy Film Awards were held in London, but Hudson was not there to accept her BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.
She was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on June 18, along with 115 other individuals for 2007.
But there was really only one reason we all rushed to see 2006's Dreamgirls: Jennifer Hudson's soul-to-the-rafters rendition of the classic 'And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going'.
The Creative Workers Union of South Africa have opposed this choice, stating they will push for a moratorium on the film if the casting is not reversed.
Her label was reportedly unhappy with the direction they were sending Hudson musically and decided it would be best to scrap the older songs and instead focus on new ones.
As of August 2009, the album has sold 739,000 copies in the US, receiving a Gold certification for surpassing sales of 500,000.
However, in January 2009, her label decided to postpone the release of the second single once more until, choosing a February 2009 release date.
On February 3, 2011 due to radio adds the single made its debut on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at number 53, having so far reached a peak of number 10.
On January 27, 2018, Clive Davis disclosed that Hudson had been handpicked by Aretha Franklin to portray her in an upcoming bio-pic.
Jennifer Hudson performed with the D.C. Choir at the March for Our Lives anti-gun violence rally in Washington, D.C. On March 24, 2018.
In September 2019, it was announced that Hudson will not return for the ninth season, citing work commitments in the United States; she will be replaced by Meghan Trainor.
Hudson met David Otunga, a professional wrestler in the WWE and a Harvard Law graduate, and the couple became engaged in September 2008.
On October 24, 2008, Hudson's 57-year-old mother Darnell Donerson and 29-year-old brother Jason were found shot to death inside the Chicago home Donerson shared with Hudson's older sister, Julia.
Convicted on all seven counts against him, in July 2012, he was sentenced to three life sentences without the possibility of parole; served consecutively, followed by an additional 120 years for his other convictions.
Hammer has collaborated with some of the era's most influential jazz and rock musicians such as John McLaughlin, Jeff Beck, Al Di Meola, Mick Jagger, Carlos Santana, Stanley Clarke, Tommy Bolin, Neal Schon, Steve Lukather and Elvin Jones.
His mother was Vlasta Průchová, a well-known Czech singer, and his father was a doctor who worked his way through school playing vibraphone and bass guitar.
Upon entrance to the Prague Academy of Musical Arts, he completed many compulsory classes including harmony, counterpoint, music history, and classical composition.
But Hammer moved to the United States and resolved to become a citizen after receiving a scholarship at Berklee College of Music in Boston.
Upon completion of his studies, Hammer spent a year touring with Sarah Vaughan, recorded with Elvin Jones and Jeremy Steig, then moved to Lower Manhattan and joined the original lineup of the Mahavishnu Orchestra with guitarist John McLaughlin, violinist Jerry Goodman, bassist Rick Laird, and drummer Billy Cobham in 1971.
He produced and recorded the album at Red Gate Studio, which he'd built in his upstate New York farmhouse and which has been the location of his recordings ever since.
Hammer took the stage with Jeff Beck in December 1983 for the nine U.S. benefit concerts that raised money for Ronnie Lane's A.R.M.S.
Notably, they featured as Jan Hammer / Tony Williams Group on July 4, 1991, at Spectrum de Montréal (Montreal Jazz Festival).
In late 1993 (and through 2000) Hammer was commissioned to compose all the original music for TV Nova, the first commercial television network in Eastern Europe, based in his native Czech Republic, which had its launch on February 4, 1994.
He composed everything—including themes for 23 original shows produced by the network, 50 separate station ID's, the music for all of the network's special broadcasts, plus the music for all the news, sports and weather programs.
One of the package's discs contained bonus material, including an extensive interview and archival footage of Hammer creating music for the show back in 1985.
He also claimed to have recorded the theme song for Miami Vice before the series was made, and that it had been the piece he presented to Michael Mann when announcing his interest of being involved with the series.
He stated that he used a Fairlight CMI to compose the music to the series while sampling drums and percussion into it with real acoustic sound.
He added that he would have been interested in scoring the 2006 film version of Miami Vice, but that he was never approached by Michael Mann about it.
Kraft Foods Group, Inc. is an American grocery manufacturing and processing conglomerate headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, part of the Kraft Heinz Company.
The company was restructured in 2012 as a spin off from Kraft Foods Inc., which in turn was renamed Mondelez International.
The new Kraft Foods Group was focused mainly on grocery products for the North American market while Mondelez is focused on international confectionery and snack brands.
On July 2, 2015, Kraft completed its merger with Heinz, arranged by Heinz owners Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital, creating the fifth-largest food and beverage company in the world, Kraft Heinz Company.
In August 2011, Kraft Foods Inc. announced plans to split into two publicly traded companies—a snack food company and a grocery company.
On October 1, 2012, Kraft Foods Inc. spun off its North American grocery business to a new company called Kraft Foods Group, Inc.
The remainder of Kraft Foods Inc. was renamed Mondelez International, Inc. and was refocused as an international snack and confection company.
On November 19, 2013, an arbitration ruling ordered Starbucks to pay Kraft Foods Inc. $2.7 billion because of an early contract termination.
Kraft's shares rose about 17 percent in premarket trading after the announcement of the deal, which will bring Heinz back to the public market following its takeover over two years prior.
The winning community gets a cash prize dedicated to upgrading their local home arena, as well as the opportunity to host an NHL preseason game.
In 2013, food blogger and activist Vani Hari and blogger Lisa Leake launched an online petition drive to compel Kraft Foods Group, Inc. to remove controversial synthetic dyes Yellow 5 (labeled as Tartrazine) and Yellow 6 from its signature macaroni and cheese products.
In April 2013, Hari and Leake delivered a petition with some 270,000 signatures to Kraft headquarters in Chicago, Ill., and asked the company to change its macaroni and cheese recipes.
However, in 2017 the New York Times highlighted the continued prevalence of harmful chemicals of phthalates, which can cause male hormone disruption, that were found in high concentrations in Kraft boxed macaroni and cheese powder.
In 1989, Kraft Foods was listed as one of the top polluters in Ontario, for pumping into Hoople Creek (Ingleside, Ontario) pollutants including phosphorus, suspended solids, and oxygen-destroying material.
The Evil Overlord List, also known as If I Were An Evil Overlord, is one of several popular lists of planned actions for a competent Evil Overlord to avoid the well-known, cliché blunders committed by supervillains in popular fictional works, typically explained in a comical fashion.
The lists were compiled by science fiction fans over a number of years, and copies of the list that can be found on the Internet vary in number and order of entries.
The original, if lesser-known list was compiled in 1990 by members of the now-defunct FidoNet Science Fiction and Fandom (SFFAN) email echo.
The FidoNet list arose out of discussions regarding what sort of advice might be in that book, and was compiled and published by Jack Butler.
It was originally The Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord, but grew to include over 100 entries.
Anspach and Butler acknowledge the existence of each other's lists, and state that their two lists have been so cross-pollinated over the years as to become effectively identical.
The Evil Overlord List has led to spinoffs, including lists for stock characters including (but not limited to) heroes, henchmen, sidekicks, the Evil Overlord's Accountant, and Starfleet captains.
Teresa Nielsen Hayden, noted author and lecturer, uses an expanded version of the list in her lectures on writing science fiction.
PS238, issue 33 (published in 2008), includes a mention of the EOL in the main story, plus an appendix with fifty major points from the list.
In May 2012, students from Lehigh University of Pennsylvania published a blog post that examined how much it would cost to follow all of the instructions on the list.
He was actually not among those originally chosen for the semifinal round, but was put through when contestant Donnie Williams was disqualified for a drunk driving arrest.
Huff was not voted through to the final round from his group of semifinalists, but got another second chance when he was brought back for the wildcard round and put through as a finalist by contest judge Simon Cowell.
During this period, New Orleans Fox Affiliate WVUE would hold specials including Huff's family cheering George on during the latest episodes.
His recent performances have included an October 2006 concert at West Virginia University and a December 2006 Christmas show in Salinas, California.
He also had a recent brief performance at New York's Dr. Susan S. Mckinney Secondary School For The Arts on November 10, 2008.
The Tank, Cruiser, Mk VI or A15 Crusader was one of the primary British cruiser tanks during the early part of the Second World War.
The Crusader tank would not see active service beyond Africa, but the chassis of the tank was modified to create anti-aircraft, fire support, observation, communication, bulldozer and recovery vehicle variants.
The main armament for the Crusader Mark I and II's was an Ordnance QF 2 pounder (40mm) main gun, but the 'Crusader III' was fitted with an Ordnance QF 6 pounder (57mm) main gun.
This variant was more than a match for the mid-generation German Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks that it faced in combat.
As part of the 1st Armoured Brigade, the Crusader was to prove vital during the Battle of El Alamein, at Tobruk and in Tunisia.
Retained in service because of delays with its replacement, by late 1942, the lack of armament upgrades, plus reliability problems due to the harsh desert conditions and the appearance of Tiger I heavy tanks among the German Afrika Korps, saw the Crusader replaced by US-supplied M3 Grant and then by the Sherman medium tanks.
Nuffield, however, preferred to work on its own version of the A13—though it still provided design work for the Covenanter's turret.
It had a different engine from the Covenanter, different steering system and a conventional cooling system with radiators in the engine compartment.
Covenanter used a brand new engine design, whereas Crusader adapted the readily available Liberty engine to fit into a lower profile engine compartment.
At the left side of the front hull—a place occupied by the engine radiator in the Covenanter—was mounted a small hand-traversed auxiliary turret armed with a Besa machine gun.
The main armament, as in other British tanks of the period, was balanced so that the gunner could control its elevation through a padded shaft against his right shoulder rather than using a geared mechanism.
When it was understood that there would be delays in the introduction of successor heavy cruiser tanks (the Cavalier, Centaur and Cromwell), the Crusader was adapted with a six-pounder gun.
Despite reliability problems, the tanks formed the primary unit for British cruiser tank armoured regiments, while the Stuart was used for reconnaissance.
Tanks arriving in North Africa were missing many of the essential tools and servicing manuals needed to maintain operation—stolen or lost in transit.
As tanks broke down, a lack of spare parts meant that many components were replaced with worn parts recovered from other tanks.
When the tanks were returned to the base workshops upon reaching service intervals, many were serviced with components that had already achieved their design lifespan.
III Liberty engine into a flatter format to fit into the Crusader engine compartment had badly affected the tank's water pumps and cooling fan arrangements, both of which were critical in the hot desert temperatures.
Several official and unofficial in-theatre modifications were applied in attempts to improve reliability and conserve water, which otherwise had to be prioritised on keeping the vehicles running.
Calls were made at various points for the vehicles to be replaced with the Valentine infantry tank or US-made M3 Grant tank.
As time moved on, more and more were being returned to base workshops, leading to a shortage of battle-ready tanks and a massive backlog of repair works to be completed.
While the 2-pounder gun had good performance when the tank was introduced, ammunition supply was focused on solid armour-piercing (AP) rounds.
Delays in producing the next generation of cruiser tanks meant the Crusader was later up-armed with the 6-pounder, which had much better anti-tank performance.
A significant area of concern, however, was the driver's compartment, the side of which had been left exposed by the removal of the secondary Besa machine gun turret.
Despite the many problems, the Crusader was successful in combat against Axis tanks, using its better mobility and greater capability to fire on the move to strike at vehicle weak spots.
This caused a change in German tactics, whereby Axis tanks would feign retreat, drawing Crusader units onto a pre-positioned anti-tank gun screen.
This situation continued until the introduction of US-produced vehicles, such as the Grant and then the Sherman, with dual-purpose 75 mm guns.
With the Axis forces in North Africa having pushed the British back to the Egyptian border and the remaining British armour being a mixed force of older tanks with a few Matilda infantry tanks, tanks were hurriedly shipped via the Mediterranean arriving on 12 May 1941.
There were sufficient Crusaders to equip the 6th Royal Tank Regiment (6RTR) which with the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment (2RTR) (with older cruiser tanks) formed the 7th Armoured Brigade.
The rest of the tanks were Matildas for the 4th Armoured Brigade giving the 7th Armoured Division only four tank regiments.
Although there was pressure from London for the 7th Armoured Division to go into action, outfitting for the desert and training delayed the first use of Crusaders until Operation Battleaxe, an attempt to relieve the siege of Tobruk in June.
The 7th Armoured Brigade was re-equipped with further Crusaders, but, as the brigade had been expanded by the addition of 7th Hussars, there were not sufficient Crusaders to replace the older cruiser tanks.
The 22nd Armoured Brigade comprising three inexperienced armoured regiments equipped with Crusaders, transferred to North Africa to bring the 7th Armoured up to a strength of three armoured brigade.
The 8th Hussars was added to the 4th Armoured Brigade, but these had to be equipped with M3 Stuart light tanks as there were still insufficient cruisers.
In Operation Crusader, the two British corps were disposed such that they could not support each other, but it was expected that, as the British outnumbered the German and Italian forces in tanks, the tank against tank battles would be decided in their favour.
The Germans had a few 88 mm guns but were mostly equipped with the PaK 38, a long-barrelled 50 mm gun with a range of 1,000 yards.
The Crusader's 2-pounder (40 mm) gun was as effective as the short-barrelled 50 mm of the Panzer III, although it was out-ranged by the short-barrelled 75 mm of the Panzer IV.
Although the Crusader was faster than any tanks it opposed, its potential was limited by a relatively light QF 2-pounder gun, thin armour, and mechanical problems.
A particular tactical limitation was the lack of a high-explosive shell for the main armament (these existed but were never supplied).
Axis tank forces developed an extremely effective method of dealing with attacking tank forces by retiring behind a screen of concealed anti-tank guns.
With the German anti-tank guns out of range of the tanks' machine guns and without a high-explosive shell to return fire, the tanks were left with the equally unpalatable options of withdrawing under fire or trying to overrun the gun screen.
Poor preparation and handling caused problems that had to be rectified before they could be passed to the regiments and ate into the supply of spare parts.
Once in use, the sand caused erosion in the cooling system and the stresses of hard cross-country travel caused oil leaks between the engine block and the cylinders.
Since there were few tank transporters or railways in the desert, the tanks had to travel long distances on their tracks, causing further wear.
While the inclusion of Grants with its effective 75 mm gun gave better firepower against anti-tank guns and infantry, had better armour, and were more mechanically reliable, they were slower, limiting the Crusaders when they had to operate together.
The German tanks they were facing were improved types with face-hardened frontal armour, which caused 2-pounder shot to shatter rather than penetrate.
Later in the campaign, shipping was improved, Nuffields put an engineering team in Egypt, and crews were better at preventing problems, but the reputation of the Crusader could not recover.
After Montgomery took over command, the imbalance between British and German armour was redressed by better control and the addition of more American-supplied Grant and Sherman tanks.
The British 1st Army landed as part of the Allied operations in Tunisia; some of its units were using the Crusader and these saw action from 24 November.
These were not solely Crusader regiments, but mixed Crusader and Valentine tanks; within each squadron, two troops were Crusader IIIs, and there were Crusader II CSs attached to the Squadron HQ.
The operations of Blade Force were on terrain different from the desert of the earlier campaigns, and the fighting took place with smaller numbers of vehicles.
After the completion of the North African Campaign, the availability of better tanks, such as the Sherman and Cromwell, relegated the Crusader to secondary duties, such as anti-aircraft mounts or gun tractors.
One Crusader was used for testing the 600 hp Rolls-Royce Meteor engine, the increased horsepower over the standard Liberty engine giving a maximum speed in excess of 40 mph.
The turret of a Crusader tank was used by the French Far East Expeditionary Corps to defend the city of Hanoi at the beginning of the first Indochina War.
Due to delays with the Cruiser Mark VII Cavalier and the need for cruiser tanks, the Crusader was up-gunned with the 6-pounder, the first British tank to mount this gun.
Design work for a new turret started in March 1941, but Nuffield was not involved until late in the year, when they adapted the existing turret with a new mantlet and hatch.
The larger gun restricted turret space, so the crew was reduced to three, with the commander also acting as gun loader, a role previously performed by the wireless operator.
The turret was fixed in place, the gun was removed and a dummy barrel fitted to give it the same outward appearance of a regular tank.
The Royal Artillery could then operate the OP tank up front among the fighting units directing artillery fire in their support.
The 6-pounder was replaced with a Bofors 40 mm anti-aircraft gun with an autoloader and powered mounting in an open-topped turret.
However, those Crusader III, AA Mk I used in NW Europe from D-day on did not have the turret, but a 40 mm Bofors gun mounted directly on the hull top with its standard shield.
The Mk III only differed from the Mk II by the position of the radio, which was moved to the hull in order to free some space inside the turret.
Due to Allied air superiority over the battlefields of north-west Europe, none of the AA versions saw much action against aircraft but a few - especially with the 1st Polish Armoured Division - were used against ground targets.
The Crusader gun tractor came out of a need for a vehicle to tow the heavy QF 17 pounder anti-tank gun.
Although nearly as heavy as the gun tank, it was still capable of high speed and was officially limited to .
Unit veterans reported that the Crusader was popular with the crews and were often driven by former Armoured Corps drivers seconded to the Royal Artillery because of their driving experience.
Thus adapted, they credited an empty Crusader with speeds up to and claimed to be able to outrun Military Police motorcycles, which were limited to a wartime speed of just due to low grade petrol.
Crusaders were used for experimentation such as a flotation kit, consisting of two pontoons attached to hull sides, special blades attached to tracks to propel the vehicle in water and a cowl over engine air intakes and cooling louvres.
The Musée des Blindés in France preserves a Mk III anti-aircraft Crusader and the Overloon War Museum in the Netherlands owns a gun-tractor variant.
It is more properly restricted to the product of the gas-phase combustion process but is commonly extended to include the residual pyrolysed fuel particles such as coal, cenospheres, charred wood, and petroleum coke that may become airborne during pyrolysis and that are more properly identified as cokes or char.
Soot as an airborne contaminant in the environment has many different sources, all of which are results of some form of pyrolysis.
They include soot from coal burning, internal-combustion engines, power-plant boilers, hog-fuel boilers, ship boilers, central steam-heat boilers, waste incineration, local field burning, house fires, forest fires, fireplaces, and furnaces.
These exterior sources also contribute to the indoor environment sources such as smoking of plant matter, cooking, oil lamps, candles, quartz/halogen bulbs with settled dust, fireplaces, exhaust emissions from vehicles, and defective furnaces.
Soot in very low concentrations is capable of darkening surfaces or making particle agglomerates, such as those from ventilation systems, appear black.
The difference between the sooting tendencies of aliphatics and aromatics is thought to result mainly from the different routes of formation.
Aliphatics appear to first form acetylene and polyacetylenes, which is a slow process; aromatics can form soot both by this route and also by a more direct pathway involving ring condensation or polymerization reactions building on the existing aromatic structure.
Formation of soot is a complex process, an evolution of matter in which a number of molecules undergo many chemical and physical reactions within a few milliseconds.
Among these diesel emission components, particulate matter has been a serious concern for human health due to its direct and broad impact on the respiratory organs.
In earlier times, health professionals associated PM10 (diameter < 10 μm) with chronic lung disease, lung cancer, influenza, asthma, and increased mortality rate.
In human experimental studies using an exposure chamber setup, DE has been linked to acute vascular dysfunction and increased thrombus formation.
This serves as a plausible mechanistic link between the previously described association between particulate matter air pollution and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Soot mechanism is difficult to model mathematically because of the large number of primary components of diesel fuel, complex combustion mechanisms, and the heterogeneous interactions during soot formation.
Soot models are broadly categorized into three subgroups: empirical (equations that are adjusted to match experimental soot profiles), semi-empirical (combined mathematical equations and some empirical models which used for particle number density and soot volume and mass fraction), and detailed theoretical mechanisms (covers detailed chemical kinetics and physical models in all phases) are usually available in the literature for soot models.
Detailed theoretical soot models contain all the components present in the soot formation with a high level of detailed chemical and physical processes.
Such comprehensive models (detailed models) usually take high financial burden for programming and operating, and much computational time to produce a converged solution.
On the other hand, empirical and semi-empirical models ignore some of the details in order to make complex model simple and to reduce the computational cost and time.
Thanks to recent technological progress in computation, it becomes more feasible to use detailed theoretical models and obtain more realistic results.
Phenomenological soot models, which may be categorized as semi-empirical models, correlate empirically observed phenomena in a way that is consistent with the fundamental theory, but is not directly derived from the theory.
For example, the phenomenological models can predict the soot formation even when several operating conditions are changed in a system and the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
Examples of sub-models of phonological empirical models could be listed as spray model, lift-off model, heat release model, ignition delay model, etc.
Some languages have the voiceless pre-velar stop, which is articulated slightly more front compared with the place of articulation of the prototypical voiceless velar stop, though not as front as the prototypical voiceless palatal stop.
Conversely, some languages have the voiceless post-velar stop, which is articulated slightly behind the place of articulation of the prototypical voiceless velar stop, though not as back as the prototypical voiceless uvular stop.
Georg Wittig (16 June 1897 – 26 August 1987) was a German chemist who reported a method for synthesis of alkenes from aldehydes and ketones using compounds called phosphonium ylides in the Wittig reaction.
Wittig was born in Berlin, Germany and shortly after his birth moved with his family to Kassel, where his father was professor at the applied arts high school.
After being an Allied prisoner of war from 1918 till 1919, Wittig found it hard to restart his chemistry studies owing to overcrowding at the universities.
By a direct plea to Karl von Auwers, who was professor for organic chemistry at the University of Marburg at the time, he was able to resume university study and after 3 years was awarded the Ph.D. in organic chemistry.
The successor of Karl von Auwers, Hans Meerwein, accepted Wittig as lecturer, partly because he was impressed by the new 400-page book on stereochemistry that Wittig had written.
The time in Braunschweig became more and more problematic as the Nazis tried to get rid of Karl Fries and Wittig showed solidarity with him.
After the forced retirement of Fries, in 1937 Hermann Staudinger offered Wittig a position at the University of Freiburg, partly because he knew Wittig from his book on stereochemistry in which he supported Staudinger's highly criticized theory of macromolecules.
The 1956 appointment of the nearly sixty-year-old Wittig as head of the organic chemistry department at the University of Heidelberg as successor of Karl Freudenberg was exceptional even at that time.
Most of his awards were presented during this time at Heidelberg, such as the honorary doctorate of the Sorbonne in 1956 and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1979.
Wittig was well known in the chemistry community for being a consummate experimenter and observer of chemical transformations, while caring very little for the theoretical and mechanistic underpinnings of the work he produced.
Lewis performed in other numerous theatrical productions and was a band member of various rock and roll bands throughout his high school and college years.
Lewis is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and attended Brigham Young University–Idaho for a time hoping to pursue a career in medicine.
From late 2004 to 2006, Lewis spent the majority of his time composing original music working closely with music producer Alex Gibson of Henson Recording Studios, among other notable entities in Hollywood.
Jon recorded part of the song as a homage to Jennifer Hudson after she told him that she loved singing the song around her house.
Chris Garcia, who has worked with Santana and Michelle Branch, Dido and Jewel, produced the album under the guidance of executive producer Don Grierson, a former head of A&R for Capitol and Epic Records.
Lewis wrote or co-wrote several tracks for the album, featuring musicians such as guitarist Nick Lashley, drummer Kenny Aronoff and Blake Mills.
The title track single hit the top 30 charts on Hot AC radio and in November 2008 was one of only fifty songs pre-programmed into all of the new iPhones on display at Apple Stores and AT&T stores across the country.
The production, co-written by Ryan Hayes and Garrett Sherwood, debuted in Idaho in October 2010 and garnered support, which positioned the show into a multi-city theatrical event.
Herbert Louis Samuel, 1st Viscount Samuel, (6 November 1870 – 5 February 1963) was a British Liberal politician who was the party leader from 1931 to 1935.
He was the first nominally-practising Jew to serve as a Cabinet minister and to become the leader of a major British political party.
Samuel was the last member of the Liberal Party to hold one of the four Great Offices of State (as Home Secretary from 1931–32 in the National Government of Ramsay MacDonald).
Around 1775, his great-grandfather, Menachem Samuel, had emigrated from Kempen in Posen (now Kepno), not far from the city of Posen (now Poznan), to Britain and his grandfather, Louis Samuel (1794-1859), was born in London.
His father was Edwin Louis Samuel (1825–1877) and his uncle was born Montagu Samuel, but became better known as Samuel Montagu, founder of the eponymous bank.
His eldest brother, Sir Stuart Samuel, was also a successful Liberal politician; his only sister, Mabel (1862–1938) married the influential art-critic Marion Spielmann, from the Spielmann dynasty of bankers and art-connoisseurs.
He was educated at University College School in Hampstead, London and Balliol College, Oxford, but at home he had a Jewish upbringing.
Samuel unsuccessfully fought two general elections before being elected a Member of Parliament at the November 1902 Cleveland by-election, as a member of the Liberal Party.
He was appointed to the Cabinet in 1909 by Prime Minister H. H. Asquith, first as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and then as Postmaster General, President of the Local Government Board and eventually Home Secretary.
He put forward the idea of establishing a British protectorate over Palestine in 1915, and his ideas influenced the Balfour Declaration.
As Home Secretary, Samuel faced a shortage of manpower needed to fight in World War I, and he initiated legislation to offer thousands of Russian refugees (many of them young Jews) a choice between conscription into the British Army or returning to Russia for military service.
At the end of the war he sought election at the general election of 1918 as a Liberal in support of the Coalition government.
In 1917, a Speakers Conference was charged with looking into giving women the vote but did not have, in its terms of reference, consideration to women standing as candidates for parliament.
The vote was passed by 274 to 25, and the government rushed through a bill to make it law in time for the 1918 election.
One month after Britain's declaration of war on the Ottoman Empire in November 1914, Samuel met Chaim Weizmann, who was to become the President of the World Zionist Organization and later the first President of Israel.
In March 1915, Samuel replaced the January 1915 draft version with the final version of his memorandum, toned down from the earlier draft, explicitly ruling out any idea of immediately establishing a Jewish state and emphasizing that non-Jews must receive equal treatment under any scheme.
He was appointed to the position of High Commissioner in 1920, before the Council of the League of Nations approved a British mandate for Palestine.
Nonetheless, the military government withdrew to Cairo in preparation for the expected British Mandate, which was finally granted two years later by the League of Nations.
Technically, Allenby noted, the appointment was illegal, as a civil administration that would compel the inhabitants of an occupied country to express their allegiance to it before a formal peace treaty (with the Ottoman Empire) was signed violated both military law and the Hague Convention.
The Muslim-Christian Association had sent a telegram to Bols: Sir Herbert Samuel regarded as a Zionist leader, and his appointment as first step in formation of Zionist national home in the midst of Arab people contrary to their wishes.
As High Commissioner, Samuel attempted to mediate between Zionist and Arab interests, acting to slow Jewish immigration and win the confidence of the Arab population.
He hoped to gain Arab participation in mandate affairs and to guard their civil and economic rights, but refused them any authority that could be used to stop Jewish immigration and land purchase.
Islamic custom at the time was that the chief Islamic spiritual leader, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, was to be chosen by the temporal ruler, the Ottoman Sultan in Constantinople, from a group of clerics nominated by the indigenous clerics.
After the British conquered Palestine, Samuel chose Haj Amin al Husseini, who later proved a thorn in the side of the British administration in Palestine.
At the same time, he enjoyed the respect of the Jewish community, and he was honoured by being called to the Torah at the Hurva synagogue in the Old City of Jerusalem.
He struck a particularly strong relationship with Pinhas Rutenberg, granting him exclusive concessions to produce and distribute electricity in Palestine and Trans-Jordan, often strongly backing Rutenberg in his relations with the Colonial Office in London.
Samuel government signed the Ghor-Mudawarra Land Agreement with the Baysan Valley Bedouin tribes, that earmarked for transfer 179,545 dunams of state land to the Bedouin.
On his return to Britain in 1925, Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin asked Samuel to look into the problems of the mining industry.
The Samuel Commission published its report in March 1926, recommending a reorganisation of the industry but rejecting the suggestion of nationalisation.
Two years later, he became deputy leader of the Liberal Party and acted as leader in the summer of 1931 when Lloyd George was ill.
Under Samuel, the party served in the first National Government of Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald formed in August 1931, with Samuel himself serving as Home Secretary.
However the government's willingness to consider the introduction of protectionist tariffs and call a general election to seek a mandate led to the Liberal Party fragmenting into three distinct groups.
The government's moves to introduce tariffs caused further friction for the Liberals, and Samuel withdrew the party from the government in stages, first obtaining the suspension of cabinet collective responsibility on the matter to allow Liberal members of the government to oppose tariffs.
Finally, in November 1933, Samuel and the bulk of the Liberal MPs crossed the floor of the House of Commons and opposed the government outright.
In 1937, he was granted the title Viscount Samuel; later that year, Samuel, despite his Jewish ancestry, aligned himself with Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's appeasement policy towards Adolf Hitler, urged that Germany be cleared of its 1914 war guilt and recommended the return of German colonies lost after the war.
During the 1951 general election, on 15 October 1951, Samuel became the first British politician to deliver a party political broadcast on television.
The three works tended to conflict with the beliefs of the scientific establishment, especially as his collaborator and friend in the last work was Herbert Dingle.
Adam de la Halle, also known as Adam le Bossu (Adam the Hunchback) (1240–1287) was a French-born trouvère, poet and musician.
His father, Henri de la Halle, was a well-known Citizen of Arras, and Adam studied grammar, theology, and music at the Cistercian abbey of Vaucelles, near Cambrai.
Afterwards he joined the household of Robert II, Count of Artois; and then was attached to Charles of Anjou, brother of Louis IX, whose fortunes he followed in Egypt, Syria, Palestine, and Italy.
Adam's shorter pieces are accompanied by music, of which a transcript in modern notation, with the original score, is given in Coussemaker's edition.
The melodies to which these are set have the character of folk music, and are more spontaneous and melodious than the more elaborate music of his songs and motets.
It grew out of the Muslim Youth organization, an Islamist organization founded in Kabul by students and teachers at Kabul University in 1969 to combat communism in Afghanistan.
Another source describes it as having splintered away from Burhanuddin Rabbani's original Islamist party, Jamiat-e Islami, in 1976, after Hekmatyar found that group too moderate and willing to compromise with others.
Hezbi Islami seeks to emulate the Muslim Brotherhood and to replace the various tribal factions of Afghanistan with one unified Islamic state.
In 1979, Mulavi Younas Khalis split with Hekmatyar and established his own Hezbi Islami, known as the Khalis faction, with its power base in Nangarhar.
Neither Hezbi Islami nor Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin were on the U.S. State Department list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations from 2001 to 2006.
, the International Security Assistance Force estimated that the military component of Hezbi Islam was about 1,000 strong, including part-time fighters.
On 18 September 2012 Hezbi Islami claimed responsibility of a suicide attack in Kabul, carried out by an 18-year-old woman in which nine people were killed.
On 16 May 2013 Hezbi Islami claimed responsibility for another attack in Kabul in the form of an explosive-loaded Toyota Corolla that was rammed into a pair of American military vehicles in which 16 people were killed.
Some languages have the voiced pre-velar stop, which is articulated slightly more front compared with the place of articulation of the prototypical voiced velar stop, though not as front as the prototypical voiced palatal stop.
Conversely, some languages have the voiced post-velar stop, which is articulated slightly behind the place of articulation of the prototypical voiced velar stop, though not as back as the prototypical voiced uvular stop.
The Unicode character renders as either a single-storey G or a double-storey G depending on font; the character is always a single-storey G, but it is generally available only in fonts with the IPA Extensions Unicode character block.
Of the six stops that would be expected from the most common pattern worldwide—that is, three places of articulation plus voicing ()— and are the most frequently missing, being absent in about 10% of languages that otherwise have this pattern.
Missing , on the other hand, is widely scattered around the world, for example /ɡ/ is not a native phoneme of Dutch, Czech, Finnish or Slovak and occurs only in borrowed words in those languages.
A few languages, such as Modern Standard Arabic and urban Levantine dialects, are missing both, although most Modern Arabic dialects have in their native phonemic systems as a reflex of or less commonly of .
Ian Maddieson speculates that this may be due to a physical difficulty in voicing velars: Voicing requires that air flow into the mouth cavity, and the relatively small space allowed by the position of velar consonants means that it will fill up with air quickly, making voicing difficult to maintain in for as long as it is in or .
This could have two effects: and might become confused, and the distinction is lost, or perhaps a never develops when a language first starts making voicing distinctions.
With uvulars, where there is even less space between the glottis and tongue for airflow, the imbalance is more extreme: Voiced is much rarer than voiceless .
The Douglas SBD Dauntless is a World War II American naval scout plane and dive bomber that was manufactured by Douglas Aircraft from 1940 through 1944.
The SBD is best remembered as the bomber that delivered the fatal blows to the Japanese carriers at the Battle of Midway in June 1942.
It possessed long range, good handling characteristics, maneuverability, potent bomb load, great diving characteristics from the perforated dive brakes, good defensive armament, and ruggedness.
One land-based variant of the SBD – in omitting the arrestor hook — was purpose-built for the U.S. Army Air Forces, as the A-24 Banshee.
The Northrop BT-2 was developed from the BT-1 by modifications ordered in November 1937, and provided the basis of the SBD, which first entered service in mid-1939.
The plane was developed at the Douglas El Segundo, CA plant, and that facility, along with the company's Oklahoma City plant, built almost all the SBDs produced.
The SBD-1 went to the Marine Corps in late 1940, and the SBD-2 to the Navy in early 1941, replacing the SBU Corsair and Curtiss SBC Helldiver squadrons on US carriers.
25 Squadron of the Royal New Zealand Air Force—but the RNZAF soon replaced them with the larger, faster, heavier and land-based Vought F4U Corsairs.
First assigned to the 27th Bombardment Group (Light) at Hunter Field, Georgia, A-24s flew in the Louisiana maneuvers of September 1941.
There were three versions of the Banshee (A-24, A-24A and A-24B) flown by the army to a very minor degree in the early stages of the war.
U.S. Navy and Marine Corps SBDs saw their first action at Pearl Harbor, when most of the Marine Corps SBDs of Marine Scout Bombing Squadron 232 (VMSB-232) were destroyed on the ground at Ewa Mooring Mast Field.
Most U.S. Navy SBDs flew from their aircraft carriers, which did not operate in close cooperation with the rest of the fleet.
Several Navy SBDs were flying to Pearl Harbor from carriers on the morning of 7 December, and engaged with Japanese aircraft.
In February–March 1942, SBDs from the carriers , , and , took part in various raids on Japanese installations in the Gilbert Islands, the Marshall Islands, New Guinea, Rabaul, Wake Island, and Marcus Island.
The first major use of the SBD in combat was at the Battle of the Coral Sea where SBDs and TBD Devastators sank the Japanese light aircraft carrier (CVL) and damaged the Japanese fleet carrier .
Their relatively heavy gun armament with two forward-firing M2 Browning machine guns and either one or two rear flexible-mount AN/M2 machine guns was effective against the lightly built Japanese fighters, and many pilots and gunners took aggressive attitudes to the fighters that attacked them.
Four squadrons of Navy SBD dive bombers attacked and sank or fatally damaged all four Japanese fleet carriers present, disabling three of them in the span of just six minutes (, , ) and, later in the day, .
One squadron, VMSB-241, flying from Midway Atoll, was not trained in the techniques of dive-bombing with their new Dauntlesses (having just partially converted from the SB2U Vindicator).
This led to many of the SBDs being shot down when they became vulnerable during their glide, although one survivor from these attacks is now on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum and is the last surviving aircraft to fly in the battle.
SBDs attacked Japanese shipping throughout the campaign, and proved lethal to Japanese shipping that failed to clear the slot by daylight.
During the Battle of the Philippine Sea in June 1944, a long range twilight strike was made against the retreating Japanese fleet, at (or beyond) the limit of the attacking airplanes' combat radius.
Twenty were lost to enemy action in the attack, while 80 more were lost when one by one they expended their fuel and had to ditch into the sea.
The Battle of the Philippine Sea was the last major engagement where SBDs made up a significant part of the carrier-borne bomber force.
Although the Curtiss Helldiver had a more powerful engine, a higher maximum speed and could carry nearly a thousand pounds more in bomb load, many of the dive bomber pilots preferred the SBD, which was lighter and had better low-speed handling characteristics, critical for carrier landings.
The Dauntless was one of the most important aircraft in the Pacific War, sinking more enemy shipping in the War in the Pacific than any other Allied bomber.
The last SBD rolled off the assembly lines at the Douglas Aircraft plant in El Segundo, California, on 21 July 1944.
From Pearl Harbor through April 1944, SBDs had flown 1,189,473 operational hours, with 25 percent of all operational hours flown off aircraft carriers being in SBDs.
Its battle record shows that in addition to six Japanese carriers, 14 enemy cruisers had been sunk, along with six destroyers, 15 transports or cargo ships and scores of various lesser craft.
The U.S. Army Air Forces sent 52 A-24 Banshees in crates to the Philippines in the fall of 1941 to equip the 27th Bombardment Group, whose personnel were sent separately.
However, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, these bombers were diverted to Australia and the 27th BG fought on the Bataan Peninsula as infantry.
While in Australia the aircraft were reassembled for flight to the Philippines but their missing parts, including solenoids, trigger motors and gun mounts delayed their shipment.
Plagued with mechanical problems, the A-24s were diverted to the 91st Bombardment Squadron and designated for assignment to Java Island instead.
After the Japanese downed two A-24s and damaged three so badly that they could no longer fly, the 91st received orders to evacuate Java in early March.
On 26 July 1942, seven A-24s attacked a convoy off Buna, but only one survived: the Japanese shot down five of them and damaged the sixth so badly that it did not make it back to base.
From December 1943 until March 1944, the 531st Fighter Squadron of the 7th Air Force flew A-24Bs from Makin Island in the Gilbert Islands against Japanese controlled islands in the Marshall Islands.
The 407th Bomb Group, assigned to the 11th Air Force, flew A-24Bs against the Japanese held island of Kiska, Alaska, during July and August 1943.
The B model was similar to the previous A-24 model but had a more powerful engine than either the A-24 or A-24A.
The A-24B lacked the small air intake on the top of the engine cowling present on the earlier models and that is an easy way to distinguish the B model.
A handful of A-24s survived in the inventory of the USAAF long enough to be taken over by the Air Force (USAF) when that service became independent of the Army in September 1947.
A total of 174 Dauntlesses were ordered by the French Navy, but with the fall of France in the spring of 1940 that production batch was diverted to the U.S. Navy, which ordered 410 more.
The most combat-experienced of the Banshee units was GC 1/18 Vendee, which flew A-24Bs in support of Allied forces in southern France and also experienced how deadly German flak was, losing several aircraft in 1944.
In late 1947 during one operation in the Indochina War, Flotille 4F flew 200 missions and dropped 65 tons of bombs.
By 1949, the French Navy removed the Dauntless from combat status although the type was still flown as a trainer through 1953.
The Royal New Zealand Air Force received 18 SBD-3s and 23 SBD-4s, and RNZAF 25 Squadron used them successfully in combat over the South Pacific.
Under the original plan, four Squadrons (25, 26, 27 and 28 Sqn) of the RNZAF were going to be equipped with the Dauntless, but only 25 Sqn used them.
The U.S. Army awards units the Army MUC for exceptionally meritorious conduct in performance of outstanding achievement or service in combat or non-combat, the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps award units the Navy MUC for valorous or meritorious achievement or service in combat or non-combat, and the U.S. Coast Guard awards units the Coast Guard MUC for valorous or meritorious achievement or service not involving combat.
The previously authorized emblem was a gold color embroidered laurel wreath, 1 inches in diameter on a 2 inches square of olive drab cloth.
The Army MUC (previously called the Meritorious Service Unit Plaque) is awarded to units for exceptionally meritorious conduct in performance of outstanding services for at least six continuous months during the period of military operations against an armed enemy occurring on or after 1 January 1944.
The unit must display such outstanding devotion and superior performance of exceptionally difficult tasks as to set it apart and above other units with similar missions.
The degree of achievement required is the same as that which would warrant award of the Legion of Merit (LOM) to an individual.
For services performed during World War II, awards will be made only to service units and only for services performed between 1 January 1944 and 15 September 1946.
Effective 1 March 1961, the MUC was authorized for units or detachments of the Armed Forces of the United States for exceptionally meritorious conduct in performance of outstanding services for at least six continuous months (a month is considered 30 calendar days) during military operations against an armed enemy without regard to duties performed or the type of unit performing the duties.
Such service is interpreted to relate to combat service support type activities and not to the type of activities performed by senior headquarters, combat, or combat support units.
Effective 11 September 2001, the MUC is authorized for units and/or detachments of the Armed Forces of the United States for exceptionally meritorious performance for at least six continuous months (a month is considered 30 calendar days) during military operations against an armed enemy without regard to type of duties performed or the type of unit performing the duties.
The emblem is thought of as an individual decoration for those in connection with the cited acts and is approved to be worn if they continue as members with the unit or not.
Other personnel serving with the unit are approved to wear the emblem to show that the unit is a recipient of the MUC.
The circular provided units which received the Plaque were entitled to wear on their right sleeves of their service coat and shirt (four inches from the end) the Meritorious Service Unit Insignia.
On 16 May 1947, AR 260-15 announced the MUC, granted the wear of the MUC emblem, and provided for the display of the scarlet MUC streamer, with the name of the applicable theater of operations in white letters.
On 11 April 1949, TAG advised D/PA that the stock position was such that it would not be exhausted prior to 1959.
By Comment 2, 1 March 1960, DCSPER stated that for planning purposes the new Meritorious Service Unit emblem would be authorized for wear on or after 1 January 1961, with wear of the old one prohibited after 30 June 1962.
However, the stock level was still so high that it was not introduced into the supply system until 14 July 1966.
This award may also be conferred upon units of the other branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, and the armed forces of friendly foreign nations serving with U.S. Armed Forces, provided such units meet the standards established for Navy and Marine Corps units.
To justify this award, the unit must have performed service of a character comparable to that which would merit the award of a Bronze Star Medal, or achievement of like caliber in a non-combat situation, to an individual.
An award will not be made to a unit for actions of one or more of its component parts, unless the unit performed uniformly as a team in a manner fully justifying collective recognition.
The Coast Guard MUC was established in November 1973, and is awarded in the name of the Commandant of the Coast Guard.
The MUC may be awarded to any unit of the Coast Guard that has distinguished itself by either valorous or meritorious achievement or service in support of Coast Guard operations not involving combat.
The Commandant may also bestow the award upon a unit of another branch of the Armed Forces of the United States, provided the unit meets the standards established for Coast Guard units.
To justify the award, the service performed as a unit must be comparable to that which would meet the award of a Coast Guard Achievement Medal (CGAM) to an individual.
A Coast Guard MUC will not be awarded to a large unit for actions of one or more of its sub-units unless the entire unit performed as a team.
Their aggressive, hard-edged sound has been a major influence on punk and garage music worldwide, and they have been named as inspirations to Nirvana, Bruce Springsteen, the Fall, and other major artists.
Their catalogue is generally based around simple chord progressions, often performed with a speed and tonal aggression that was novel for the time, making the band a notable influence on later punk rock bands.
The Sonics were formed in 1960 in Tacoma, Washington by teen-aged guitarist Larry Parypa, with the encouragement of his music-loving parents.
The earliest lineup included Parypa, drummer Mitch Jaber, and guitarist Stuart Turner; Parypa's brother Jerry briefly played saxophone, and their mother occasionally filled in on bass at rehearsals.
When Turner left for the army, Rich Koch (who had previously played with the Wailers) joined as lead guitarist, and Marilyn Lodge became their first singer, the band having been an instrumental combo up to that point.
Larry began looking for a drummer to replace Dean, who he felt was uncommitted to the band, and found Bob Bennett playing in a band called the Searchers, with keyboardist Gerry Roslie and sax player Rob Lind.
Ray Michelsen was looking to leave the band, so the Parypas hired Bennett, Roslie, and Lind, and let their previous saxophonist Mabin go.
The well-known lineup was in place, but the Sonics' career did not begin in earnest until 1964, when Gerry Roslie started singing lead vocals.
With Roslie as lead singer, the band started playing gigs at local venues such as the Red Carpet, Olympia's Skateland, the Evergreen Ballroom, Perl's (Bremerton), the Spanish Castle Ballroom, and St. Mary's Parish Hall.
They soon were scouted by Buck Ormsby, bassist for popular Northwest band the Wailers, and signed to Etiquette Records, the Wailers' own record label.
The record was immensely popular with local kids, and went on to become the biggest selling local single in the history of the Northwest despite its radio airplay being restricted because of its bizarre subject matter.
Although it has been rumoured that Jerden executives pushed the Sonics into a more polished sound, the band itself had decided to follow new influences in modern music, resulting in songs that were quite different from their raucously early recordings.
The original band fell apart between 1966 and 1968, with members leaving to attend university or join other bands; saxophonist Rob Lind became a fighter pilot in the Vietnam War.
Eventually, all of the original members left, with new members continuing on with the name Sonics (later 'Jim Brady and the Sonics') until 1980, although it was a completely different band, at times even incorporating string and horn sections.
The emergence of punk rock in the late '70s and grunge in the '90s led to new interest in the Sonics, and much of their material was re-released by labels in the US and Europe.
Larry and Andy Parypa continued performing with various bands in the Northwest, while Roslie, Lind, and Bennett pursued careers outside of music.
Their music was further impressed upon younger generations through a movement known as The Beat Army, an online music forum based on Facebook which is operated by author and music producer Paul Collins.
The line up featured original members Gerry Roslie on vocals and keyboards, Larry Parypa on guitar, and Rob Lind on tenor sax, with Ricky Lynn Johnson (of the Wailers) on drums and Don Wilhelm (of the Daily Flash) on bass and vocals.
Since then, they have played the Primavera Festival in Barcelona, followed by Bilbao, then the Sjock Festival in Belgium, Norway, and the Azkena Rock Festival in Vitoria in the Basque Country.
Their first show in their home region since their last Seattle reunion in 1972 was on Halloween 31 October 2008 at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, where they were introduced and joined onstage for several songs by Steven Van Zandt.
Bob Bennett was also present to sit in on drums albeit only for a few songs and only while Ricky Lynn Johnson played in unison.
In 2009 Freddie Dennis, formerly of Freddie and the Screamers, the Kingsmen, and the Liverpool 5, took Wilhelm's place as bassist and vocalist.
In 2012 Johnson was replaced by drummer Dusty Watson, who has played with Slacktone, Agent Orange, Dick Dale, the Surfaris, Davie Allan and the Arrows, Lita Ford, the Supersuckers, The Boss Martians, Fur Dixon and others.
On May 2, 2016 an announcement was posted by Rob Lind on the band's Facebook site that Gerry Roslie and Larry Parypa would no longer be continuing as touring members of the band although they will still be involved in recording and Larry will occasionally be playing live with the band.
Their positions are being filled on a touring basis by Jake Cavaliere of the Lords of Altamont on keyboards and Evan Foster of the Boss Martians on guitar.
The band also have a clearly marked influence on American punk bands such as the Cramps and the Dead Boys in their brash, menacing style and attitude, and on 1980s grunge bands (who originated in the same area), especially Mudhoney, who adopted some of the darker themes from Sonics music, and a lot of their techniques on over-driving and distorting electric guitars.
As well as all these, there have been whole generations of garage rock revival bands (such as The Thingz) who make no bones of plagiarizing The Sonics and their ilk.
The early 21st century saw the arrival of another garage rock band that lists the Sonics as a major influence, Eagles of Death Metal.
The Sonics recorded very, very cheaply on a two track you know, and they just used one microphone over the drums, and they got the most amazing drum sound I've ever heard.
Japandroids have repeatedly cited The Sonics, one of the few acts that both members could agree on, as a basis for their way of recording and performing.
Homeported at Norfolk, Virginia, she conducted further tests and trials in early 1962 before joining Destroyer Squadron 18 (DesRon 18) and Destroyer Division 182 (DesDiv 182) in July.
By 25 May 1967, there was evidence that a crisis was brewing in the Middle East that eventually lead up to The Six Day War, 5-10 Jun 1967.
This task group also joined up with TG 60.2, the carrier Saratoga CVA-60, and her destroyers under the command of Rear Admiral Geis.
On the morning of 2 June 1967, soviet destroyers appeared and began constantly cutting in and out of the carriers formation.
The Sampson was ordered to shadow one soviet destroyer, hull number 626 and attempt to keep it out of the carriers formation.
On 5 June 1967, the word was passed over the !-MC, the ship-wide general announcement system, to set condition three, an advanced state of defensive readiness.
On 8 June 1967 the USS Liberty AGTR-5 was attacked by Israeli fighter jets aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats.
The Sampson was a member of the force which steamed to rendezvoused with the heavily damaged USS Liberty (AGTR-5) 9 June.
She returned to Charleston in February 1969 and resumed operations in the Atlantic and the Caribbean until redeploying to the Mediterranean in October of that year.
During the first three months of the new year, she operated in the vicinity of the British West Indies; then prepared for overseas movement.
She was in Charleston during the period 9 July to 18 August, at which time Sampson stood out for her new home port, Athens, Greece.
The guided missile destroyer remained in the Mediterranean, home ported at Athens, Greece under command of Commander Richard (Dick) Carson, throughout 1973 and into 1974.
In 1973 she was dispatched to and docked in Tunis, Tunisia where she provided communication link for Helos of USS Forrestal for the Medjerda River flood.
After transiting the Suez canal and Red Sea, the Sampson shadowed the Soviet carrier Minsk & cruiser Tashkent in the Indian ocean, and made port calls in Djibouti, and in Karachi.
Once there the Sampson performed the final Adams class guided missile destroyer deployment as a unit of the Maritime Interception Force, conducting the first boarding and search of a merchant on 28 AUG 1990, during OPERATION DESERT SHIELD and the first diversion of a ship with prohibited cargo.
After conducting the first-ever exercise ASROC shot in the Red Sea, USS SAMPSON operated with ships of various NATO navies conducting surveillance and protection of shipping in the approaches to the Suez Canal.
Rock flour, or glacial flour, consists of fine-grained, silt-sized particles of rock, generated by mechanical grinding of bedrock by glacial erosion or by artificial grinding to a similar size.
Because the material is very small, it becomes suspended in meltwater making the water appear cloudy, which is sometimes known as glacial milk.
When flows of the flour are extensive, a distinct layer of a different colour flows into the lake and begins to dissipate and settle as the flow extends from the increase in water flow from the glacier during snow melts and heavy rain periods.
Examples of this phenomenon may be seen at Lake Pukaki and Lake Tekapo in New Zealand, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Emerald Lake, and Peyto Lake in Canada, Gjende lake in Norway, and several lakes (among others, Nordenskjöld and Pehoé) in Chile's Torres del Paine National Park.
Typically, natural rock flour is formed during glacial migration, where the glacier grinds against the sides and bottom of the rock beneath it, but also is produced by freeze-and-thaw action, where the act of water freezing and expanding in cracks helps break up rock formations.
Rock flour particles may travel great distances either suspended in water or carried by the wind, in the latter case forming deposits called loess.
His ideas were not taken up due to technical limitations and, according to proponents of his method, because of opposition from the champions of conventional fertilisers.
John D. Hamaker argued that widespread remineralization of soils with rock dust will be necessary to reverse soil depletion by current agriculture and forestry practice.
While this originally was an alternative concept, increasing mainstream research has been devoted to soil amendment and other benefits of rock flour application: for instance, a pilot project on the use of glacial rock, granite and basaltic fines by the U.S. Department of Agriculture exists at the Henry A. Wallace Beltsville Agricultural Research Center.
The Soil Remineralization Forum was established with sponsorship from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency and has commissioned a portfolio of research into the benefits of using mineral fines.
In chemistry, racemization is a conversion, by heat or by chemical reaction, of an optically active compound into an optically inactive form which half of the optically active substance becomes its mirror image (enantiomer) referred as racemic mixtures(i.e.
If the racemization results in a mixture where the and enantiomers are present in equal quantities, the resulting sample is described as a racemic mixture or a racemate.
Racemization can proceed through a number of different mechanisms, and it has particular significance in pharmacology as different enantiomers may have different pharmaceutical effects.
The notation is not to be confused with and naming of molecules which refers to the similarity in structure to -glyceraldehyde and -glyceraldehyde.
Enantiomers should also be distinguished from diastereomers which are a type of stereoisomer that have different molecular structures around a stereocenter and are not mirror images.
Racemate may have different physical properties from either of the pure enantiomers because of the differential intermolecular interactions (see Biological Significance section).
The change from a pure enantiomer to a racemate can change its density, melting point, solubility, heat of fusion, refractive index, and its various spectra.
In general, most biochemical reactions are stereoselective, so only one stereoisomer will produce the intended product while the other simply does not participate or can cause side-effects.
This is due to the fact that many biological molecules are chiral and thus the reactions between specific enantiomers produce pure stereoisomers.
These polypeptides are less digestible by peptidases and are synthesized by bacterial enzymes instead of mRNA translation which would normally produce -amino acids.
The stereoselective nature of most biochemical reactions meant that different enantiomers of a chemical may have different properties and effects on a person.
amphetamine is often dispensed as racemic salts while the more active dextroamphetamine is reserved for refractory cases or more severe indications; another example is methadone, of which one isomer has activity as an opioid agonist and the other as an NMDA antagonist.
The drug is therefore not considered safe for use by women of child-bearing age, and while it has other uses, its use is tightly controlled.
The rate of racemization (from -forms to a mixture of -forms and -forms) has been used as a way of dating biological samples in tissues with slow rates of turnover, forensic samples, and fossils in geological deposits.
British Forces Germany (BFG) was the generic name for the three services of the British military, made up of service personnel, UK Civil Servants and dependents (family members), based in Germany.
It was first established following the Second World War the largest parts of it becoming known as the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) and RAF Germany (RAFG).
With the end of the Cold War and the Options for Change defence review in the early 1990s, BFG as a whole has been considerably reduced.
Following the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review, the permanent deployment will end by 2020. , there were 2,850 troops in Germany, down from 19,100 in April 2010.
First established following the Second World War, the forces grew during the Cold War, consisting by the early 1980s of I (BR) Corps made up of four divisions; 1st Armoured Division, 2nd Armoured Division, 3rd Armoured Division and the 4th Armoured Division.
Disbandment of the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) and Royal Air Force Germany (RAFG) in 1994, following the end of the Cold War and the Options for Change defence review in the early 1990s, reduced the personnel strength of the British Armed Forces in Germany by almost 30,000 with just one division (1st Armoured Division) remaining.
The General Officer Commanding UKSC also functioned as head of the British Forces Liaison Organisation (Germany), which is responsible for liaising and maintaining relations with German civil authorities.
HQ British Forces Germany was formed in January 2012 replacing the United Kingdom Support Command (Germany) (UKSC(G)) and the Germany Support Group (GSG).
Rhine Garrison, which principally comprised HQ British Forces Germany in the Rheindahlen Military Complex and Elmpt Station, also reduced in size; the HQ moved to Bielefeld in July 2013 and other units returned to the UK.
With the departure of Major General John Henderson in March 2015, the Commanding Officer of British Forces Germany became a brigadier's post, with Brigadier Ian Bell assuming command.
Under the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review, permanent deployment will end by 2019, although some training will still be undertaken with regards to NATO capability.
The British Army Germany rugby union team regularly played games against emerging rugby nations like Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany and Luxembourg.
The ships were equipped with two geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by four water-tube boilers.
They were fired via the dual-arm Mk 11 missile launcher and the ships stowed a total of 42 missiles for the launcher.
The series was originally hosted by Alan Titchmarsh, Charlie Dimmock and Tommy Walsh and was produced by Endemol for the BBC.
In each episode, a team of gardeners make over the garden of an individual who has been nominated by a member of their family or a friend.
Whilst that individual is away, the team, assisted by friends and family, make over the garden over two days, and surprise the individual on their return.
Titchmarsh left in 2002, saying that he felt the series was becoming repetitive and because he wasn't able to work with materials like stainless steel and do intricate brickwork patterns due to time and money constraints.
A number of new five-minute segments were filmed for Ground Force Revisited and appended onto repeats of earlier episodes, where Dimmock and Walsh revisited the garden concerned to surprise the owners and see how the gardens had developed.
The series was credited with helping the increase in sales of garden decking in the late 1990s and early 2000s due to its use during the series.
It took place in the forecourt of the British Museum in London, where the team designed and created the Africa Garden as part of the Africa 05 celebration, the biggest celebration of African culture organised in the UK.
NAIA schools that are not members of an athletic conference are members of the Association of Independent Institutions (AII), which provides member services to the institution and allows members to compete in postseason competition.
The original lineup of the group evolved from a Los Angeles band, the Red Roosters, which included Randy California (born as Randy Craig Wolfe)(guitars, vocals), Mark Andes (bass), and Jay Ferguson (vocals, percussion).
Before returning to his native state, California previously played with Jimi Hendrix as a member of Jimmy James and the Blue Flames in New York City's Greenwich Village in 1966.
His earlier career was primarily in jazz and included stints with Cannonball Adderley, Gerry Mulligan, Roland Kirk, Thelonious Monk, and Lee Konitz.
Early demo recordings by the band were produced by their Topanga Canyon roommate Barry Hansen, later known as the radio host Dr. Demento.
In August 1967, the record producer Lou Adler (known for his work with The Mamas & the Papas and The Grass Roots) signed the band to his label, Ode Records.
The album had jazz influences and used elaborate string arrangements (not found on their subsequent recordings) and is the most overtly psychedelic of their albums.
Jimmy Page's use of a theremin has been attributed to his seeing Randy California use one that he had mounted to his amplifier.
California was still in the line-up, but he had suffered a head injury from a horse riding accident and was unable to tour.
Bass player Al Staehely was recruited by Locke and Cassidy, and they toured briefly before deciding that they had to add a guitar player to do the music justice.
Al's brother, John Christian (Chris) Staehely, auditioned for the band and was quickly brought on board, departing the Texas rock group Krackerjack.
It was a different turn for the group, showing more of a country rock influence pervading their jazzier tendencies, but it only met with a mild commercial response, also reaching No.
Cassidy decided to capitalize on the new demand for the group and put together an entirely new group for touring purposes, which lasted throughout the year.
Andes worked with the duo for a while, but never intended to stay, as he was in the process of working with the group Firefall at the same time.
In early 1975, the group was supposed to be the opening act for Ten Years After at a show in Florida, but when Ten Years After backed out at the last minute, Spirit was granted permission to take over the theatre for the evening.
After going around to local radio stations to promote the show and setting a low ($3) ticket price, Spirit managed to sell out the 3,000-seat theatre.
Using the profits from the show, they blocked out as much time as they could at Studio 70 in Tampa, Florida.
After recording a large amount of material at the studio, their manager at the time, Marshall Berle (the nephew of Milton Berle), offered the cache of tapes to Mercury Records.
California would later claim that he didn't recognize Young, but at the time was angry with Young for upstaging what he saw as his own comeback.
California moved over in front of Neil and began pushing him backwards, away from the microphone, back past the drumkit and offstage.
Young, along with a host of music and film luminaries, including New Hollywood director Hal Ashby, had been hanging out with the band backstage before they went on, and Locke (a friend of Young) had invited the guitarist to join them in their encore.
When Locke saw California pushing Young offstage, he got up from his piano and said that he had had enough and didn't ever want to play with California again, walking off stage.
Cassidy initially quelled the situation by leaving his kit and physically pulling both California and Young back onstage to the microphone to close out the song, asking the audience to sing along with them.
The German TV/radio programme Rockpalast recorded and broadcast Spirit's entire show of March 4/5, 1978, including the encore jam where Dickey Betts joined the band.
This trio line-up also recorded a heavily-overdubbed live album (also released in 1978) that was released in slightly different configurations in several countries by different independent labels.
Consequently, in 1981, California released an overdubbed selection of tracks from the original album alongside several unrelated songs dating from the late 1970s.
It was released in the United States by Rhino Records (a nascent archival label with ties to Dr. Demento) and in Britain by Beggars Banquet Records, a well-regarded independent label specializing in punk rock and its derivations.
When the power generator failed—allegedly because the operator had fallen asleep stoned and neglected to refill the fuel—Heyman performed a twenty-minute solo while the situation was rectified.
In December 1982, the original Spirit line-up re-formed and recorded several songs from their first four albums (as well as a few new tracks) live on a soundstage.
While some of the original members went on to do other projects, California and Cassidy continued touring with new members Scott Monahan on keyboards and Dave Waterbury on bass.
Following a few live dates in England, California returned to the United States and resumed touring extensively with Cassidy, Monahan, and Waterbury.
Although the group (including California, Cassidy, Locke, Nile, Monahan, and George Valuck on keyboards) toured extensively in support, the album failed to return them to the charts.
Though they would release very few albums of new material during the decade, the group was always either recording or touring.
California had his own home recording studio since the early 1980s, though he had been making home recordings for years prior to that.
Starting in 2000, there have been five collections of previously unreleased studio and live material, four of which were two-CD sets.
The two-CD set was released in early 1997, though it raised the ire of some fans who did not care for the fact that some of the material had been re-edited or featured overdubbing that was not present on the original releases.
Military versions of the plane, the C-54 and R5D, served during World War II, in the Berlin Airlift and into the 1960s.
Following proving flights by United Airlines of the DC-4E it became obvious that the 52-seat airliner was too large to operate economically and the partner airlines recommended a long list of changes required to the design.
Douglas took the new requirement and produced a new design, the DC-4A, with a simpler unpressurised fuselage, R-2000 Twin Wasp engines and a single fin and rudder.
With the entry of the United States into World War II, in December 1941 the War Department took over the provision orders for the airlines and allocated them to the United States Army Air Forces with the designation C-54 Skymaster.
To meet military requirements the first production aircraft had four additional auxiliary fuel tanks in the main cabin which reduced the passenger seats to 26.
The following batch of aircraft were designated C-54A and were built with a stronger floor, cargo door with a hoist and winch.
With the introduction of the C-54B in March 1944, the outer wings were changed to hold integral fuel tanks allowing two of the cabin tanks to be removed; this allowed 49 seats (or 16 stretchers) to be fitted.
The C-54C was a hybrid for Presidential use, it had a C-54A fuselage with four cabin fuel tanks and the C-54B wings with built-in tanks to achieve maximum range.
With the C-54E the last two cabin fuel tanks were moved to the wings which allowed more freight or 44 passenger seats.
A total of 1,163 C-54/R5Ds were built for the United States military between 1942 and January 1946; another 79 DC-4s were built postwar.
The DC-4/C-54 proved a popular and reliable type, 1245 being built between May 1942 and August 1947, including 79 postwar DC-4s.
The type's sales prospects were affected when 500 wartime ex military C-54s and R5Ds came onto the civil market, many being converted to DC-4 standard by Douglas.
Douglas produced 79 new-build DC-4s between January 1946 and August 9, 1947, the last example being delivered to South African Airways (8).
Purchasers of new-build DC-4s included Pan American Airways, National Airlines, Northwest Airlines and Western Airlines in the US, and KLM Royal Dutch Air Lines, Scandinavian Airlines System, Iberia Airlines of Spain, Swissair, Air France, Sabena Belgian World Airlines, Cubana de Aviación, Avianca, Aerolíneas Argentinas, Aeropostal of Venezuela (1946) and South African Airways overseas.
Among the earliest were Aerolíneas Argentinas (1946), Aeropostal of Venezuela (1946), Iberia Airlines of Spain (1946), and Cubana de Aviación (1948).
Buffalo Airways in Canada's Northwest Territories owns eleven DC-4s (former C-54s of various versions); four for hauling cargo and three for aerial firefighting.
One ex-Buffalo DC4 (N55CW c/n 10673, currently registered to AIRCRAFT GUARANTY CORP TRUSTEE) is fitted with spray bars on top of the wings and is currently based in Florida on standby for oil pollution control.
Following her successful participation in modern naval warfare training exercises and calls at various Far Eastern ports, she departed Yokosuka 24 January 1965 and arrived San Diego 6 February.
The latter month also brought a call at Portland, Oreg., and a visit, on the 24th, by the Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. David L. McDonald.
Early in the new year 1966, the destroyer prepared for her third tour of duty in support of 7th Fleet operations in WestPac.
Overhaul in San Francisco took her through the fall and into the winter months, culminating in her return to homeport on 3 February 1967.
After calling at Pearl Harbor 31 July and Yokosuka, Japan, 5 August, she commenced Tonkin Gulf operations 25 August in the screen for .
She spent the spring of each year on the west coast of the United States and then, in late spring or early summer, she deployed to WestPac.
During that year she remained on the west coast, engaged in normal operations out of San Diego, where she was berthed as of January 1974.
When the Robison arrived that evening only 262 people survived of the 300+ that disembarked from Vietnam to escape the horrors of their homeland.
Within weeks of rescuing the first group, a second group was spotted with a very small contingent of people; 21 to be precise.
The seas were stormy so the people were taken below decks and cared for as the ship transited to the Philippines where they would be processed for emigration to the United States.
The guided missile destroyer decommissioned on 1 October 1991, was struck from the navy list on 20 November 1992 and sold to Consolidated Metals, Inc., for scrapping.
Ray Stark (October 3, 1915 – January 17, 2004) was one of the most successful and prolific independent film producers in postwar Hollywood.
In 1980, the Motion Picture Academy awarded him the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award for a lifetime of achievement in film.
Raymond Otto Stark was born on October 3, 1915, in Manhattan, the second child of Sadie (née Gotlieb) and Maximilian Stark.
Ray attended grade school in Manhattan, skipping two grades, before attending The Kohut School, a boarding school for boys in Harrison, New York.
In 1931, at 15 years of age, Stark was the youngest student ever admitted to Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
At Rutgers, Stark continued to take strong interest in literature (one of his favorite classes was Shakespeare) but he did not know how to pursue it occupationally.
As Stark's interests shifted more heavily to journalism and entertainment, he took an opportunity to live with a friend in Los Angeles.
Following a job at Forest Lawn Cemetery as a florist and then as writing assistant to comedian and ventriloquist Edgar Bergen, Stark took a job as a publicist for Warner Bros. Studios in 1937.
In 1957 Ray Stark and Eliot Hyman founded Seven Arts Productions, an independent production company which made movies for release by other studios.
Stark was head of production, in charge of buying film properties and supervising production, while Hyman was instrumental in forming deals and handling finances.
Interpersonal complications with France Nuyen interfered with shooting, and Stark replaced her with newcomer Nancy Kwan, who was later nominated for a Golden Globe Best Actress in the role.
After a long courtship with the then unknown, Stark and Jerome Robbins, (the production supervisor and director of the Broadway show) decided to cast her as their lead.
For both, it was the beginning of an often stormy relationship that would span four more motion pictures over the course of eleven years.
Ray Stark had commissioned an authorized biography of Brice, based on taped recollections she had dictated, but was unhappy with the result.
Stark then turned to Ben Hecht to write the screenplay for a biopic, but neither Hecht nor the ten writers who succeeded him were able to produce a version that satisfied Stark.
Styne was happy with the results and the two men completed the rest of the score, then flew to Los Angeles to play it for Stark, Robbins, and Bancroft, who was at odds with Merrill because of an earlier personal conflict.
With Bancroft out of the picture, Eydie Gormé was considered, but she agreed to play Brice only if her husband Steve Lawrence was cast as Nicky Arnstein.
Robbins had an argument with Lennart and told Stark he wanted her replaced because he thought she was not capable of adapting her screenplay into a viable book for a stage musical.
Lennart continued to edit her book and deleted another thirty minutes before the show moved to Philadelphia, where critics thought the show could be a hit if the libretto problems were rectified.
In 1980, Stark's incredible body of work was officially recognized when he received the prestigious Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, a rare honor given by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for a lifetime achievement in film.
Although Stark failed to remember who the actress was, he soon fell madly in love with Fran, claiming she was the most charming girl he'd ever met.
Ray and his wife Frances owned Rancho Corral de Quati, a 300-acre (1.2 km2) ranch in Los Olivos, California and were breeders of Thoroughbred racehorses.
He amassed a wide collection of outdoor sculptures by artist and close friend, Henry Moore, and his walls were adorned with various pieces by Monet, Picasso and Kandinsky.
The Fran and Ray Stark Sculpture Garden opened in 2007 and accounts for approximately 75% of the sculptures in the museum's collection.
In 1982, Fran and Ray Stark founded The Fran and Ray Stark Foundation, a foundation committed to the growth of communities in art, culture and medicine.
The Stark Foundation supports a number of institutions in Los Angeles such as The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, USC School of Cinematic Arts, Motion Picture and Television Country House, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Homeboy Industries and several Department Chairs at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
The Ray Stark Family Theatre, equipped for 3D presentation, is one of three situated in the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts Complex, completed in 2010.
Galusha Aaron Grow (August 31, 1823 – March 31, 1907) was a prominent American politician, lawyer, writer and businessman, who served as 24th Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1861 to 1863.
Elected as a Democrat in the 1850 congressional elections, he switched to the newly-organized Republican Party in the mid-1850s when the Democratic Party refused to prohibit the extension of slavery into western territories.
For over a century he remained the last incumbent House speaker to be defeated, until Speaker Tom Foley lost his seat in 1994.
His family called him Galusha when he was growing up, and before Grow was a teenager, he had started writing his name with his given names reversed.
Grow ran as a Democrat in the 1850 election and served as a member of that party during the 32nd and 33rd congresses, and into the 34th Congress.
He ran as a Republican in the 1856 election and remained a member of that party for the rest of his political career.
During the 35th United States Congress, on February 5, 1858, he was physically attacked by Democrat Laurence M. Keitt in the House chambers, leading to a brawl between northerners and southerners.
A large brawl involving approximately fifty representatives erupted on the House floor, ending only when a missed punch from Rep. Cadwallader Washburn upended the hairpiece of Rep. William Barksdale.
When the next Congress convened in December 1859, he was one of 90 congressmen to receive votes during the two-month-long 44-ballot speaker election, dropping out following the first ballot.
The deepening rift between slave states and free states overshadowed Grow's 1861 re-election victory, as a national crisis erupted in December 1860 when South Carolina became the first of several Southern states to adopt an Ordinance of Secession.
When the House convened that day, Grow was nominated to be Speaker of the House; also nominated was Francis Preston Blair Jr.. Grow was elected on the first ballot, but only after Blair withdrew following the roll call vote, at which time 28 votes shifted to Grow.
Grow, a supporter of the Radical Republicans, was defeated in his re-election bid in 1862, becoming the second sitting House Speaker in a row to lose his seat.
He moved to Houston, Texas in 1871, and that year became president of what became known as the International - Great Northern Railroad, a position he held until 1875.
Grow returned to the United States Congress as a member at-large from Pennsylvania from 1894 to 1903; was the chairman of the committee on education in the 56th Congress.
The style includes many forms, including 10 lines of tantui for basic power training, 10 longer sets of chaquan, and other forms as well.
The voiced velar nasal, also known as agma, from the Greek word for 'fragment', is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
The IPA symbol is similar to , the symbol for the retroflex nasal, which has a rightward-pointing hook extending from the bottom of the right stem, and to , the symbol for the palatal nasal, which has a leftward-pointing hook extending from the bottom of the left stem.
As a phoneme, the velar nasal does not occur in many of the indigenous languages of the Americas or in many European or Middle Eastern or Caucasian languages, but it is extremely common in Australian Aboriginal languages and is also common in many languages of Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia, Southeast Asia and Polynesia.
Only half of the 469 languages surveyed in had a velar nasal phoneme; as a further curiosity, a large proportion of them limits its occurrence to the syllable coda.
In many languages that do not have the velar nasal as a phoneme, it occurs as an allophone of before velar consonants.
An example of a language that lacks a phonemic or allophonic velar nasal is Russian, in which is pronounced as laminal denti-alveolar even before velar consonants.
Some languages have the pre-velar nasal, which is articulated slightly more front compared with the place of articulation of the prototypical velar nasal, though not as front as the prototypical palatal nasal - see that article for more information.
Conversely, some languages have the post-velar nasal, which is articulated slightly behind the place of articulation of a prototypical velar nasal, though not as back as the prototypical uvular nasal.
Since his music career began in 1957 as a short-lived founding member of the Tokens, he has sold millions of records as an artist and has written or co-written over 500 songs for himself and others, collaborating mostly with lyricists Howard Greenfield and Phil Cody.
He demonstrated musical aptitude in his second-grade choral class, and when his teacher sent a note home suggesting he take piano lessons, his mother took a part-time job in an Abraham & Straus department store for six months to pay for a second-hand upright.
In 1947, he auditioned successfully for a piano scholarship to the Juilliard School of Music's Preparatory Division for Children, which he attended on Saturdays.
When Sedaka was 13, a neighbor heard him playing and introduced him to her 16-year-old son, Howard Greenfield, an aspiring poet and lyricist.
When the Beatles and the British Invasion took American music in a different direction, Sedaka was left without a recording career.
The Linc-Tones, later renamed the Tokens after Sedaka's departure, went on to have four top-40 hits of their own without Sedaka.
After Little Anthony and the Imperials passed on the song, Sedaka recorded it himself, and his debut single hit the Top 15 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No.
Sedaka then bought the three biggest hit singles of the time and listened to them repeatedly, studying the song structure, chord progressions, lyrics and harmonies before writing his next songs.
Sedaka had dated Carole King when he was still at high school, which gave him the idea to use her name in the song.
Thus, this was the only time the melody of the song was used by a popular artist and a future sensation around the same time.
When Sedaka was not recording his own songs, he and Howard Greenfield were writing for other performers, most notably in their earliest days Connie Francis.
Sedaka protested that Francis would be insulted by being played such a puerile song, but Greenfield reminded him Francis had not accepted their other suggestions and they had nothing to lose.
In 1964 Sedaka's career began a sharp decline, hastened by The Beatles' arrival on the radio and TV, and the rest of the so-called British Invasion.
Although Sedaka's stature as a recording artist was at a low ebb in the late 1960s, he was able to maintain his career through songwriting.
Unaware of Sedaka's secret, panelist Henry Morgan challenged Sedaka with the fact that the Soviet bureaucracy had outlawed rock 'n' roll music, and that any Western music young Russians wanted had to be smuggled into the country.
Despite his waning chart appeal in the US in the late 1960s, he remained very popular as a concert attraction, notably in the UK and Australia.
It was co-produced by Festival staff producer Pat Aulton, with arrangements by John Farrar (who later achieved international fame for his work with Olivia Newton-John) and backing by Australian session musicians including guitarist Jimmy Doyle (Ayers Rock) and noted jazz musician-composer John Sangster.
The album is also notable because it was Sedaka's first album to include collaborations with writers other than longtime lyricist Howard Greenfield; the title track featured lyrics by Roger Atkins and four other songs were co-written with Carole Bayer Sager.
When John learned Sedaka had no American record label, he suggested Sedaka sign with his Rocket Record Company, Limited, and Sedaka accepted the proposition.
So the basic plan was as simple as finding out what he wanted to have on his album – which turned out to be a compilation from his British albums.
In late 1972, producer Stig Anderson approached Sedaka to write the lyric for a single by a new Swedish pop quartet then known as Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid.
He sent a tape of the song together with a rough translation to Sedaka, who within days returned an original lyric, co-written with Phil Cody.
The single, credited to Andersson, Ulvaeus, Anderson, Sedaka and Cody, reached number 1 in Sweden and Belgium, and charted in the top 5 in at least four other countries.
1 on the Billboard 100 and stayed there for three weeks (October 11, 18 and 25, 1975), was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and was the most commercially successful individual single of his career.
Despite their later falling out that resulted in Sedaka moving from Elton's Rocket Records to Elektra, Sedaka has credited John as being responsible for his successful return to the U.S. pop music scene.
1 hit single, was upbeat; the remake was a slow ballad, based on a similar arrangement by a Lenny Welch 1970 recording.
8 on the Hot 100 in early 1976, making him the only artist to ever record an entirely reinterpreted version of a song where both versions reached the Billboard Top 10.
The coldness eventually thawed, however and in the foreword to Sedaka's 2013 biography, John wrote of their friendship in glowing and positive terms.
Sedaka's new US label, Elektra, did not put as much effort into promoting Sedaka's music as Elton John had at Rocket Records, and that, combined with the arrival of the disco era, marked another downturn in Sedaka's career.
Neil and Dara's pairing would return Neil to the Top 20 for his last Hot 100 charted single, and also the Top 5 on the Adult Contemporary Chart.
Throughout the 1970s, Sedaka's former record company, RCA, reissued his 1960s-era songs on compilation LPs on the RCA Victor and RCA Camden labels, a practice which continues to this day.
For decades, RCA and Sedaka have disputed the ownership rights of Sedaka's original master tapes from his late 1950s/early 1960s hits.
RCA has released various repackagings of his old hits, prompting Sedaka to rerecord his old hits and make them sound as close and authentic to the originals as possible.
Neither of these albums fared well on the charts or in terms of sales, with only modest success for the singles that were released from them.
He then created his own music label, ensuring that his catalog of hits would find the marketplace, and he released occasional CDs of self-produced new, original material.
He also proved to be a popular concert draw on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, performing for thousands of adoring fans.
When Folds heard that Sedaka had a song published by the age of 13, Folds set a similar goal, despite the fact that Sedaka did not actually publish until he was 16.
Due to copyright restrictions, the songs were replaced for the North American DVD, as well as for Japanese online releases of the series until 2017.
In 1994, Sedaka provided the voice for Neil Moussaka, a parody of himself in Food Rocks, an attraction at Epcot from 1994 to 2006.
He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1983, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and was an October 2006 inductee of the Long Island Music Hall of Fame.
On November 15, 2013, Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters in Los Angeles gave him their Art Gilmore Career Achievement Award at a luncheon in his honor.
On a business trip to New York in mid-1971, Harvey Lisberg, who was a longtime fan of Sedaka, asked Don Kirshner if he'd written anything new.
Kirshner took Lisberg to a small room with a piano where Sedaka was already seated, and he tapped out a few songs.
For the 2005 annual Comic Relief charity drive, he solicited a number of celebrity friends of his and updated the video, and it became an enormous hit.
It was used yet again later that summer by the Central Band of the Royal British Legion prior to the Men's Finals of the 2006 Wimbledon tennis tournament.
On April 7, 2006, Sedaka was appearing at the Royal Albert Hall and filming for the above-referenced CD/DVD package, when he was interrupted mid-concert by a gentleman who walked onstage from the wings.
Since Sedaka had lost his recording contract in the mid-1980s, he had used his own business, Neil Sedaka Music, to finance the recording, production, and distribution of new CDs and repackaging of his existing catalog of music.
Because of ongoing disputes with RCA Records over the ownership of Sedaka's original late 1950s/early 1960s hits, in 1991, Sedaka re-recorded those early recordings, note-for-note.
Sedaka has taken meticulous care of his voice over the years and still sings in the original keys recorded in his youth.
This allowed him to repackage his catalog to include both his early recordings along with his mid- to late 1970s hits and later recordings.
In early 2007, Sedaka signed his first recording contract in nearly two decades with Razor and Tie Records, a small-but-growing, New York-based independent label with a talent roster that also includes Joan Baez, Vanessa Carlton, Foreigner, Joe Jackson, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
The CD was a children's album that used the melodies of many of Sedaka's best-known songs but changed the lyrics to fit, and hopefully have fun with, the everyday lives of babies and toddlers, along with their parents, grandparents, babysitters, and other caregivers.
A concert performance on October 26, 2007 at the Lincoln Center in New York City paid homage to the 50th anniversary of Sedaka's debut in show business.
The UK continues to be probably Sedaka's most welcoming nation, and has been since first moving his family there (temporarily) four decades ago.
Indeed, it was his work with the musicians who would, in a few years, become the hit-making group 10cc that brought him back to the U.S. as a major star with No.
The track was originally a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 pop charts for the soft-rock group Bread in 1970.
In this episode, three pairs of theologians competed, and the answer was correctly given by one of the pair of rabbis, Andrew.
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, locally convex topological vector spaces or locally convex spaces are examples of topological vector spaces (TVS) that generalize normed spaces.
Alternatively they can be defined as a vector space with a family of seminorms, and a topology can be defined in terms of that family.
Although in general such spaces are not necessarily normable, the existence of a convex local base for the zero vector is strong enough for the Hahn–Banach theorem to hold, yielding a sufficiently rich theory of continuous linear functionals.
After the notion of a general topological space was defined by Felix Hausdorff in 1914, although locally convex topologies were implicitly used by some mathematicians, up to 1934 only John von Neumann would seem to have explicitly defined the weak topology on Hilbert spaces and strong operator topology on operators on Hilbert spaces.
More succinctly, a subset of is absolutely convex if it is closed under linear combinations whose coefficients absolutely sum to .
While in general seminorms need not be norms, there is an analogue of this criterion for families of seminorms, separatedness, defined below.
Although the definition in terms of a neighborhood base gives a better geometric picture, the definition in terms of seminorms is easier to work with in practice.
Every normed space is a Hausdorff locally convex space, and much of the theory of locally convex spaces generalises parts of the theory of normed spaces.
Note that this is also the limit topology of the spaces , embedded in in the natural way, by completing finite sequences with infinitely many .
Given any vector space and a collection of linear functionals on it, can be made into a locally convex topological vector space by giving it the weakest topology making all linear functionals in continuous.
The family of seminorms defined by is separated, and countable, and the space is complete, so this metrisable space is a Fréchet space.
It is known as the Schwartz space, or the space of functions of rapid decrease, and its dual space is the space of tempered distributions.
A more detailed construction is needed for the topology of this space because the space is not complete in the uniform norm.
The topology on is defined as follows: for any fixed compact set , the space of functions with is a Fréchet space with countable family of seminorms (these are actually norms, and the completion of the space with the norm is a Banach space ).
Given any collection of compact sets, directed by inclusion and such that their union equal , the form a direct system, and is defined to be the limit of this system.
More abstractly, given a topological space , the space of continuous (not necessarily bounded) functions on can be given the topology of uniform convergence on compact sets.
an open set in ) the Stone-Weierstrass theorem applies—in the case of real-valued functions, any subalgebra of that separates points and contains the constant functions (e.g., the subalgebra of polynomials) is dense.
Because locally convex spaces are topological spaces as well as vector spaces, the natural functions to consider between two locally convex spaces are continuous linear maps.
Using the seminorms, a necessary and sufficient criterion for the continuity of a linear map can be given that closely resembles the more familiar boundedness condition found for Banach spaces.
In other words, each seminorm of the range of is bounded above by some finite sum of seminorms in the domain.
The ships were equipped with two geared General Electric steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by four D-V2M water-tube boilers.
They were fired via the single-arm Mk 13 missile launcher and the ships stowed a total of 40 missiles for the launcher.
The ship was named for Admiral Günther Lütjens, who commanded a battlegroup comprising the and the cruiser during Operation Rheinübung (Exercise Rhine).
She was laid down at Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine on 1 March 1966 with the hull classification symbol DDG-28.
All way was lost after the first hit and the ship began to settle rapidly, sinking about 2 miles east of Savo Island.
It was part of the consonant inventory of Old English and can still be found in some dialects of English, most notably in Scottish English, e.g.
The voiceless velar fricative and its labialized variety are traditionally postulated to have occurred in Proto-Germanic, the ancestor of the Germanic languages, as the reflex of the Proto-Indo-European voiceless palatal and velar stops and the labialized voiceless velar stop.
In Modern Greek, the voiceless velar fricative (with its allophone the voiceless palatal fricative , occurring before front vowels) originated from the Ancient Greek voiceless aspirated stop in a sound change that lenited Greek aspirated stops into fricatives.
The Tokyo Express was the name given by Allied forces to the use of Imperial Japanese Navy ships at night to deliver personnel, supplies, and equipment to Japanese forces operating in and around New Guinea and the Solomon Islands during the Pacific campaign of World War II.
The operation involved loading personnel or supplies aboard fast warships (mainly destroyers), later submarines, and using the warships' speed to deliver the personnel or supplies to the desired location and return to the originating base all within one night so Allied aircraft could not intercept them by day.
Delivery of troops and material by slow transport ships to Japanese forces on Guadalcanal and New Guinea soon proved too vulnerable to daytime air attack.
The Japanese Combined Fleet commander Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto therefore authorized the use of faster warships to make the deliveries at night when the threat of detection was much less and aerial attack minimal.
The Tokyo Express began soon after the Battle of Savo Island in August 1942 and continued until late in the Solomon Islands campaign when one of the last large Express runs was intercepted and almost completely destroyed in the Battle of Cape St. George on November 26, 1943.
Because the destroyers typically used were not configured for cargo handling, many supplies were sealed inside steel drums lashed together and simply pushed into the water without the ships stopping; ideally, the drums would float ashore or were picked up by barge.
However, many drums were lost or damaged; a typical night in December 1942 resulted in 1500 drums being rolled into the sea, with only 300 recovered.
Most of the warships used for Tokyo Express missions came from the Eighth Fleet, based at Rabaul and Bougainville, although ships from Combined Fleet units based at Truk were often temporarily attached for use in Express missions.
The Tokyo Express ended up being a costly strategic error by Admiral Yamamoto, because many destroyers were lost during the fifteen months of the Tokyo Express, for no gain.
In addition, they were desperately needed for convoy duty to protect Japanese shipping supplying the Home Islands from the depredations of American submarines.
The Imperial Japanese Navy was caught in a Catch-22 situation, since American airpower from Henderson Field denied the Japanese the use of slow cargo ships (merchantmen).
Compared to destroyers, cargo ships were much more economical in fuel usage while having the capacity to carry full loads of troops plus sufficient equipment and supplies.
The Charles F. Adams class was based on a stretched Forrest Sherman-class destroyer hull modified to accommodate an RUR-5 ASROC Launcher and all their associated equipment.
The ships were equipped with two geared General Electric steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by four D-V2M water-tube boilers.
They were fired via the single-arm Mk 13 missile launcher and the ships stowed a total of 40 missiles for the launcher.
Sam Dolgoff (1902–1990) was an anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist from Russia who grew up and lived and was active in the United States.
Dolgoff was born in the shtetl of Ostrovno in Vitebsk Governorate, Russian Empire (in present-day Beshankovichy Raion, Belarus), moving as a child to New York City in 1905 or 1906, where he lived in the Bronx and in Manhattan's Lower East Side where he died.
His father was a house painter, and Dolgoff began house painting at the age of 11, a profession he remained in his entire life.
After being expelled from the Young People's Socialist League, Sam joined the Industrial Workers of the World in 1922 and remained an active member his entire life, playing an active role in the anarchist movement for much of the century.
He wrote articles for anarchist magazines as well as books as the editor of highly acclaimed anthologies, some of which are listed below.
Michael Berrin (born May 6, 1967), best known by his stage name MC Serch, is an American hip hop MC and former member of 3rd Bass, and Non Phixion.
MC Serch was dismissed from WJLB in March 2006, reportedly due to a dispute over a Super Bowl weekend party at the club Motor City Live.
Serch has also worked with Hot 102.7's youngest intern (The Black Intern) Daniel Berry, and Rucka Rucka Ali (Comedy Music Artist).
In 2018 he gave an interview with DJ Vlad in which he claimed MC Hammer had once taken out a $50,000 contract on Serch's life, following a misunderstanding over lyrics.
The ships were equipped with two geared General Electric steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by four D-V2M water-tube boilers.
They were fired via the single-arm Mk 13 missile launcher and the ships stowed a total of 40 missiles for the launcher.
The Shadows of Knight are an American rock band from the Chicago suburbs, formed in the 1960s, who play a form of British blues mixed with influences from their native city.
Initially formed in 1964 as simply the Shadows, the band learned in spring 1965 of an existing British group, the Shadows.
Founding members included Warren Rogers (lead guitar), Roger Spielmann (rhythm and lead guitar/vocals) Norm Gotsch (rhythm guitar), Wayne Pursell (bass guitar), Tom Schiffour (drums) and Jim Sohns (vocals).
After performing in and around Chicago's northwest suburbs in 1964 and 1965, The Shadows of Knight became the house band at The Cellar in Arlington Heights, Illinois, owned by Sampson.
A performance in support of the Byrds at Chicago's McCormick Place in early summer 1965 attracted the attention of Dunwich Records record producers Bill Traut and George Badonski.
This simple change overcame the prevalent AM radio censorship of the era and got The Shadows of Knight's cover version of the song onto the playlist of WLS, which had censored the original.
Tom Schiffour left the band in spring 1967, first to be replaced by a young local fan of the band, Bruce Bruscato.
By mid-1967, the only original member of the Shadows of Knight remaining was vocalist Jim Sohns, who, through simple default, inherited the band's name and legacy.
Sohns had hoped to take the band in a British power-rock direction, but the Super K record label pulled them into a more commercial orientation, pairing the band with bubblegum groups such as the 1910 Fruitgum Company and the Ohio Express on tour.
It consisted of new bass and guitar tracks overdubbed by Peter Cetera (later of Chicago) and Jim Donlinger (a member of Aorta), both Chicago rock veterans.
The second iteration of the band consisted of John Fisher, former lead guitar of the Glass Menagerie, on bass, Woody Woodruff and Dan Baughman on guitars, and Ken Turkin on drums.
John Fisher was replaced by Edgar Winter alum Jorge Gonzales on bass in 1971, who was subsequently replaced by John Hardy the next year.
He also spent a period of time reflecting on his future in the music business, choosing to become the road manager of the band Skafish from 1978 to 1980.
In 1978, Sohns punched Sid Vicious at the Harrah club in New York City, throwing him down a flight of stairs.
Commencing as of the 1990s, the Shadows of Knight enjoyed a resurgence in public interest, in significant part due to the 1998 release of their first two albums, in remastered form, by Sundazed Records.
At shows on the 2006 tour, they were joined onstage at various times by Rick Mullen (of Van Morrison, Commander Cody, Don McLean), Vince Martell (Vanilla Fudge), Mark Stein (Vanilla Fudge), and members of The Romantics.
Joe Kelley (born Joseph J. Kelley in 1945 in Chicago) died on September 1, 2013, after a brief battle with lung cancer.
On 20 August 2016, The surviving members of the Shadows of Knight reunited and performed in concert for the first time in 49 years.
The club came into being by a merger between Leytonstone/Ilford and Walthamstow Avenue, though the merged clubs played one season under the original name.
It is not to be confused with the current Isthmian League club Redbridge, which was known as Ford United until July 2004.
They were somewhat successful in non-league football, while under the name Leytonstone & Ilford, they were crowned Isthmian League champions during 1981–82.
Initially there was no name change, and the club won the Isthmian League that season; they were due to be promoted to what is today known as the Conference National, but were denied due to ground problems, as the Green Pond Road ground at Walthamstow had already been sold to developers so was not worth upgrading.
The club moved to Victoria Road, home of Dagenham FC but found the same problem as their ground too was now not up to Conference standard.
For the 1989 season, the name of the club was changed to Redbridge Forest, in preparation for a move to a new site bordering both Redbridge and Waltham Forest borders.
Incidentally, Dagenham and Redbridge Forest were both in the Isthmian League Premier Division for that season and the two matches between landlord and tenant saw 2–2 and 1–1 draws between the clubs, clubs that now play as one.
Redbridge Forest won the Isthmian League in 1990–91 and with the ground now passing Conference regulations, the club were now allowed to move up to the Conference for the 1991–92 season.
The new club reached the Football League at the end of the 2006–07 as Conference National champions, and won promotion to League One in 2010 via play-offs.
On station with Task Unit (TU) 77.0.2 until the 14th, the ship returned to Subic Bay for brief local operations before sailing back to the combat zone to take her post on the northern search and rescue station (SAR) from 29 November to 29 December.
She then returned—via Subic Bay, Guam, Midway, and Pearl Harbor—to her home port, Long Beach, where she arrived on 8 April.
She entered the Long Beach Naval Shipyard on 4 August and commenced an extensive overhaul which lasted through the end of the year 1967 and into February 1968.
She returned to WestPac that summer—with logistics stops at Pearl Harbor and Midway en route—and arrived at her new home port of Yokosuka, Japan, on 1 August 1968.
Between 17 and 30 January, she fired two gunfire support missions in the I Corps area for the Army's 101st Airborne Division and one for the 7th and 9th Divisions of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) units.
During the first week of April, the downing by North Koreans of a Navy EC-121 Connie early-warning intelligence aircraft in the Sea of Japan greatly increased tension in the Far East.
She operated in the Sea of Japan until the crisis abated enabling her to head for Yokosuka on the afternoon of 28 April.
Arthur Ganong was the first to make any sort of a wrapped chocolate bar; Ganong began selling the first chocolate bars in 1910.
In 1911, Ganong Bros. purchased the bankrupt White Candy Company in Saint John, New Brunswick and operated a factory there until 1931.
In 1988, due to the rising costs of production, a plant was built in Bangkok, Thailand, due to lower labor costs and the close proximity to raw ingredients, and equipment from the St. Stephen factory was shipped there.
Doug Ettinger, who had been a senior executive in the food industry for 20 years, was approved by the Ganong board of directors as the top executive of Canada’s oldest candy company.
Exhibits describe the Ganong brothers and the company, and include hands-on and interactive displays about the process of making chocolate and candies historically and currently, and a display of historic chocolate boxes and antique candy-making equipment.
She was laid down by the Puget Sound Bridge and Dry Dock Company at Seattle, Washington on 11 June 1962, launched on 8 January 1963; sponsored by Mrs. Nancee Ravenel, a great, great, great, granddaughter of the Honorable Benjamin Stoddert; and commissioned at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard on 12 September 1964; Commander Walter Megginness in command.
The guided-missile destroyer departed Bremerton for the first time on 7 November and, after brief stops at San Francisco and San Diego, arrived at Pearl Harbor to commence acceptance trials.
Other tests — including gunnery, torpedo, and engineering exercises — helped the crew tie her antisubmarine, antiair, and communications gear into a single integrated system.
This naval air campaign, begun the previous March, was intended to interdict North Vietnam's logistical pipeline through Laos and across the demilitarized zone (DMZ), cutting the flow of munitions and supplies to the Viet Cong in South Vietnam.
The surface Navy's companion campaign — Operation Sea Dragon — supported this effort by targeting communist supply craft, shelling coastal batteries and radar sites, and bombarding coastal infiltration routes.
Over the next six weeks, the guided-missile destroyer screened Hancock — providing antisubmarine and antiair protection for the carrier and carrying out planeguard services during flight operations.
On 4 and 5 January 1966, in a change of pace from earlier tasks, the guided-missile destroyer also fired her 5-inch guns against Viet Cong targets ashore.
Six days later, the guided-missile destroyer resumed duty in TF 77 screening Hancock and remained so employed until setting out for the Philippines on 5 March.
Underway for Hawaii on 22 May, the guided-missile destroyer arrived at Pearl Harbor, via Suva in the Fiji Islands, on 30 May.
After a fuel stop at Kwajalein in the Marshalls on the 27th, the guided-missile destroyer returned to Pearl Harbor on 2 September.
These local operations — which included shore bombardment, carrier screening, and ASW exercises — continued into early 1967 as the crew prepared for another 7th Fleet deployment.
The guided-missile destroyer crossed the central Pacific; and, after a short liberty at Yokosuka, Japan, the crew took the warship south to Subic Bay, arriving there on 23 April.
A North Vietnamese coastal battery unexpectedly opened fire, forcing her to shift fire onto the battery, to commence weaving, and to clear the area.
At one point on 26 June, enemy counterbattery fire fell close enough to spray the ship with shell fragments, but the resulting damage was light and was quickly repaired.
Departing Japan on 21 August, she arrived at Pearl Harbor on 29 August, and spent the remainder of the year undergoing boiler repairs, conducting post-deployment maintenance, and preparing for various service inspections.
The guided-missile destroyer continued local operations out of Hawaii until 5 March 1968 when she moved into the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard to begin a maintenance overhaul.
After departing there on the 29th, the warship returned home to Pearl Harbor on 2 November and spent the remainder of the year in port.
The guided-missile destroyer closed the smoking carrier — which had suffered a severe flight deck fire — to assist firefighting efforts and search for survivors.
After these successful maneuvers, she loaded 10 Standard and 24 Tartar missiles at the ammunition depot at Concord, Calif., and returned to Hawaii.
During the tense days that followed, the warship's duties included antiair early warning, carrier screening, and electronic intelligence gathering to pinpoint radar and other installations in the Shantung province of eastern China.
The guided-missile destroyer, aside from a few upkeep periods at Sasebo, collected intelligence off the Korean peninsula for the next eight weeks.
She moored at Yokosuka on 8 August, unloaded the PARPRO equipment, and then set off south for combat operations on the 10th.
There, she carried out fire missions in the Chu Lai area during the day and provided harassment and interdiction fire from Danang harbor during the night.
During four weeks of operations, air and ground spotters directed her guns at enemy supply points, troop concentrations, rocket sites, and infiltration routes; and, by mid-September, she had fired over 5,000 5-inch rounds at these and other targets.
During the transit, however, a typhoon moved across her track, forcing the warship to reverse course; and she did not arrive in Pearl Harbor until 1 November.
The guided-missile destroyer remained in port until 12 January 1970, when she got underway for a three-day exercise at the Barking Sands Tactical Underwater Range (BARSTUR).
The warship conducted a second such training mission between 9 and 13 February, firing exercise ASROC rockets and torpedoes at underwater targets both times.
In addition to putting to sea for routine training, she also did so to serve as standby ship for the Apollo 13 recovery mission.
Following a short upkeep period, the guided-missile destroyer headed for Danang and a tour on the northern search and rescue station (SAR) in the Gulf of Tonkin.
To make matters worse, she suffered another setback when a boiler pipe cracked on the return voyage, and she diverted to Subic Bay for repairs.
Once there, the warship settled into a pattern of sporadic call-fire missions during the day and night harassment and interdiction fire after dark.
The warship received improvements to her missile and gun systems, and much-needed repairs to her hull, sonar dome, and engineering spaces.
In the evening of 29 October, however, a fire broke out in sonar control in the forward part of the warship.
In the darkness and heavy rain, it took damage control teams and the shipyard fire department just over four hours to extinguish the blaze.
The crew then spent the next six weeks helping shipyard workers repair the fire damage and get the warship's ASW systems back in battery.
The warship finally got underway for deployment on 25 March, arriving in Subic Bay via Midway and Guam on 7 April.
She joined other 7th Fleet units in heavy attacks against North Vietnamese military units pushing south along the coast, firing numerous bombardment missions against enemy troops and tanks advancing towards Hue.
Over the next week, the guided-missile destroyer continued strikes against coastal targets, including daily bombardments of the shore as far north as Thanh Hoa.
After a two-week repair and refitting period at Subic Bay between 12 and 26 May, she reentered the Tonkin Gulf on the 29th for more missions against the enemy's coastal logistics pipeline.
Once American mines shut down the major North Vietnamese harbors, many Chinese communist merchant ships sought refuge in strategic lagoons and inlets whence their cargoes were ferried ashore.
One of the guided-missile destroyer's missions was to search out and destroy the small ferry craft and any nearby supply caches.
Resuming gunline operations on the 14th, the warship fired at enemy troop formations attacking ARVN troops, helping to stall and then repulse this communist thrust into South Vietnam.
During one such mission, at 09:10 on 26 June, the forward 5-inch mount suffered a misfire which left a live round hung up in the barrel.
Departing immediately for Subic Bay, the guided-missile destroyer spent the next month in port, replacing the wrecked gun mount and repairing other damage.
At this point, South Vietnamese forces had taken Quang Tri City, driving North Vietnamese forces back toward the DMZ; and the naval campaign against the North began to wind down.
During this time, a cease-fire agreement was signed in Paris on 27 January 1973, and American forces in South Vietnam began to withdraw.
With combat operations over, the warship helped enforce the terms of the cease fire while on PIRAZ and antiair warfare picket duty in the Gulf of Tonkin.
She arrived in the gulf on 29 August and operated for three days with Task Group (TG) 76.4, the contingency force assembled in case Americans had to be evacuated from Thailand.
Then, on 30 October while steaming near Singapore to avoid a typhoon in the Gulf of Tonkin, she suffered a boiler breakdown which forced her back to Subic Bay.
Following three weeks of repairs, the warship sailed for Hawaii, arriving in Pearl Harbor, via Guam and Midway, on 7 December.
Upon her return home, the guided-missile destroyer was greeted by a shrinking defense budget, lack of spare parts, and a shortage of fuel oil — the latter caused by the October 1973 Arab oil embargo — all of which cut back the operating tempo of the Pacific Fleet's surface ships.
In response, the Navy concentrated on improving overall operational readiness, a routine markedly different from previous training which had concentrated on preparing warships for combat operations off Vietnam.
She remained in the Pearl Harbor area through October, engaged in extensive propulsion repairs, improving her maintenance procedures, and conducting a few local training operations.
After a two-week repair stop at Yokosuka in early December and a holiday port visit to Kaohsiung, Taiwan, she ended the year at Subic Bay.
Over the next two weeks, she cruised offshore with an amphibious ready group (ARG) and covered three Military Sealift Command (MSC) ships sent to the Vung Tau area on the 23d for evacuation duty.
Then, on 3 May, she sailed to the location of a sinking South Vietnamese naval ship and rescued 19 people, including one woman and four children.
The warship spent the summer conducting local operations and preparing for a regular overhaul, which she began at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard on 1 October.
Shifted out of drydock on 6 February 1976, she conducted a long series of full-power runs and sea trials before finishing her 10-month overhaul on 17 August.
The end of the Vietnam War two years earlier meant that the guided-missile destroyer conducted different operations than during her previous deployments to the Far East.
Instead of antiair or gunline combat operations aimed at the North Vietnamese, the warship concentrated on training to counter the threat of Soviet nuclear-powered submarines and guided-missile warships to the western Pacific region.
Following a five-day port visit, the warship sailed on to Melbourne, Australia, and to Dunedin, New Zealand, before arriving at Pago Pago, American Samoa, on 14 September.
Underway the next day, the warship visited Western Samoa before proceeding on to Hawaii, to arrive in Pearl Harbor on the 22d.
These evolutions included several firings on the Pacific Missile Range, highlighted by the successful shootdown of two MQM 74C drones by RIM 66A Standard missiles on 29 July.
Delayed by the need to evade a typhoon near the Philippines, the warships did not put into Subic Bay until 30 October.
Shifting to Yokosuka on 7 January 1979, the warship received four weeks of repairs there at the Naval Ship Repair Facility.
Departing Philippine waters on 7 March, the warship returned to Pearl Harbor on the 19th to begin a seven-week maintenance availability.
Continued boiler trouble kept the guided-missile destroyer in port, save for a few local operations, for the remainder of the year.
After five months in drydock, she moved to a berth for continued industrial work; and it was not until 30 November that the guided-missile destroyer got underway for her first sea trials.
The crew spent the next five months putting the warship through full power exams, sonar tests, and weapons system acceptance trials.
After a week of liberty, the guided-missile destroyer cruised south to San Diego, mooring at the naval station on 6 November.
While en route to Subic Bay, the warship conducted both antisubmarine and antiair warfare exercises, an underway routine she would continue throughout this deployment.
In the latter port, she took part in the Black Ship Festival, commemorating Commodore Matthew C. Perry's opening of Japan to foreign trade in 1854.
Although tension remained high the rest of the night, no other incidents occurred; and the warships arrived at Subic Bay on 23 June.
Mooring at Pearl Harbor on 12 August, the warship spent the rest of the year doing maintenance work on her boilers and standing several regular safety and readiness inspections.
In a scenery shift from her familiar operational zone, the guided-missile destroyer sailed from Pearl Harbor to the southern California operating area on 31 March.
Once the refugees had been passed along, the group continued on south and west, passing through the Strait of Malacca and entering the Indian Ocean on 4 October.
Linking up with a British force built around , the warships sailed northwest and arrived on station in the Arabian Sea on 12 October.
During the ensuing 15-month shipyard period, the guided-missile destroyer received new radar and fire-control systems, the navy tactical data system (NTDS), the integrated automatic detection and tracking system (IADTS) and a modernized steam engineering plant.
These ranged from a joint ASW exercise with Australian and New Zealand warships at sea to the more mundane propulsion plant and ordnance safety inspections while in port.
During rimpac86 the Stoddert had port calls in San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver BC, where crew members were able to attend the Vancouver Worlds Fair, before returning home.
Following port visits to Phuket, Thailand, between 13 and 16 April and at Hong Kong between 23 and 27 April, the guided-missile destroyer moored at Pearl Harbor on 9 May.
In addition, the warship participated in a joint Navy-Coast Guard exercise in late June, took part in ASW drills in mid-August, and served as ready duty destroyer during the month of September.
The warship set out for San Diego on 15 March, completing a transit exercise — including service as the target for simulated attacks by two attack submarines — before mooring in San Diego harbor on the 31st.
After a stop at Subic Bay between 7 and 11 October, the group conducted a few days of gunnery practice at the Tabones range in the Philippines before sailing to Hong Kong for liberty.
Departing the British Crown Colony on the 20th, the battle group headed south, navigated the Malacca Strait, and passed into the Indian Ocean.
After 56 days at sea, the crew displayed palpable relief when the guided-missile destroyer put into Abu Dhabi for a three-day port visit on 14 December.
Following a six-day port visit, the group steamed back into the Indian Ocean for a quick drop south of the equator on 9 January 1989 before returning through the Strait of Malacca on the 19th.
The warships then steamed north into the South China Sea for four days of ASW exercises with units of the Royal Thai Navy, followed by a three-day visit to Pattaya Beach, Thailand.
At the end of a four-week post-deployment standdown, the guided-missile destroyer began preparations for a series of engineering and general survey inspections set for late spring.
The warship used her surface search radars and other equipment to spot small craft, which were then boarded by Coast Guard detachments in search of drug smugglers.
The warship began patrol operations off Baja California on the 27th and remained there — save for a single port visit to San Diego — through 11 August.
These operations continued until 11 September, when the warship put into Rodman, Panama — the first landfall for the crew after 47 days at sea.
Following a series of inspections in June, the warship remained in port — save for a few days of local operations — as the crew prepared her for inactivation.
On 7 September 1995, she was transferred to the Maritime Administration and was berthed with its National Defense Reserve Fleet at Suisun Bay, Calif., to await disposal.
On 3 February 2001, while under to tow to Brownsville, Texas, for scrapping, the old guided missile destroyer took on water and sank in the Pacific.
Tus ( or Ṫus or Tus), also spelled as Tous, Toos or Tūs, is an ancient city in Razavi Khorasan Province in Iran near Mashhad.
Tus was taken by the Umayyad caliph Abd al-Malik and remained under Umayyad control until 747, when a subordinate of Abu Muslim Khorasani defeated the Umayyad governor during the Abbasid Revolution.
In 809, the Abbasid Caliph Harun al-Rashid fell ill and died in Tus, on his way to solve the unrest in Khorasan.
In 1220, Tus was sacked by the Mongol general, Subutai, and a year later Tolui would kill most of its populace, and destroying the tomb of Caliph Harun al-Rashid in the process.
The most famous person who has emerged from that area is the poet Ferdowsi, author of the Persian epic Shahnameh, whose mausoleum, built in 1934 in time for the millennium of his birth, dominates the town.
Functionally it is involved in locomotion (lower limbs) of the axial skeleton and manipulation of objects in the environment (upper limbs).
It is important to realize that through anatomical variation it is common for the skeleton to have many accessory bones (sutural bones in the skull, cervical ribs, lumbar ribs and even extra lumbar vertebrae).
The appendicular skeleton of 126 bones and the axial skeleton of 80 bones together form the complete skeleton of 206 bones in the human body.
The ships were equipped with two geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by four water-tube boilers.
They were fired via the dual-arm Mk 11 missile launcher and the ships stowed a total of 42 missiles for the launcher.
The Grumman F4F Wildcat is an American carrier-based fighter aircraft that began service in 1940 with both the United States Navy, and the British Royal Navy where it was initially known as the Martlet.
First used in combat by the British in the North Atlantic, the Wildcat was the only effective fighter available to the United States Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific Theater during the early part of World War II in 1941 and 1942; the disappointing Brewster Buffalo was withdrawn in favor of the Wildcat and replaced as units became available.
With a top speed of , the Wildcat was outperformed by the faster , more maneuverable, and longer-ranged Mitsubishi A6M Zero.
However, the F4F's ruggedness, coupled with tactics such as the Thach Weave, resulted in a claimed air combat kill-to-loss ratio of 5.9:1 in 1942 and 6.9:1 for the entire war.
While the Wildcat had better range and maneuverability at low speed, the Hellcat could rely on superior power and high speed performance to outperform the Zero.
The Wildcat continued to be built throughout the remainder of the war to serve on escort carriers, where larger and heavier fighters could not be used.
Two single-seat biplane designs followed, the F2F and F3F, which established the general fuselage outlines of what would become the F4F Wildcat.
However, an order was also placed for Grumman's G-16 (given the navy designation XF4F-1) as a backup in case the Brewster monoplane proved to be unsatisfactory.
It was clear to Grumman that the XF4F-1 would be inferior to the Brewster monoplane, so Grumman abandoned the XF4F-1, designing instead a new monoplane fighter, the XF4F-2.
The unusual manually-retractable main landing gear design for all of Grumman's U.S. Navy fighters up to and through the F4F, as well as for the amphibious Grumman J2F utility biplane, was originally created in the 1920s by Leroy Grumman for Grover Loening.
Testing of the new XF4F-3 led to an order for F4F-3 production models, the first of which was completed in February 1940.
The Royal Navy's and U.S. Navy's F4F-3s, armed with four .50 in (12.7 mm) Browning machine guns, joined active units in 1940.
Even before the Wildcat had been purchased by the U.S. Navy, the French Navy and the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm (FAA) had ordered the Wildcat, with their own configurations, via the Anglo-French Purchasing Board.
The F4F Wildcat (known in British service at first as the Martlet) was taken on by the FAA as an interim replacement for the Fairey Fulmar.
In the European theater, the Wildcat scored its first combat victory on Christmas Day 1940, when a land-based Martlet destroyed a Junkers Ju 88 bomber over the Scapa Flow naval base.
Six Martlets went to sea aboard the converted former German merchant vessel in September 1941 and shot down several Luftwaffe Fw 200 Condor bombers during highly effective convoy escort operations.
The last air-raid of the war in Europe was carried out by Fleet Air Arm aircraft in Operation Judgement, Kilbotn on May 5, 1945.
Twenty eight Wildcat VI aircraft from Naval Air Squadrons 846, 853 and 882, flying from escort carriers, took part in an attack on a U-boat depot near Harstad, Norway.
The Wildcat was generally outperformed by the Mitsubishi Zero, its major opponent in the early part of the Pacific Theater, but held its own partly because, with relatively heavy armor and self-sealing fuel tanks, the Grumman airframe could survive far more damage than its lightweight, unarmored Japanese rival.
Many U.S. Navy fighter pilots also were saved by the Wildcat's ZB homing device, which allowed them to find their carriers in poor visibility, provided they could get within the range of the homing beacon.
In the hands of an expert pilot using tactical advantage, the Wildcat could prove to be a difficult foe even against the formidable Zero.
USN and USMC aircraft formed the fleet's primary air defense during the Battles of Coral Sea and Midway, and land-based Wildcats played a major role during the Guadalcanal Campaign of 1942–43.
It was not until 1943 that more advanced naval fighters capable of taking on the Zero on more even terms, the Grumman F6F Hellcat and Vought F4U Corsair, reached the South Pacific theater.
Grumman's Wildcat production ceased in early 1943 to make way for the newer F6F Hellcat, but General Motors continued producing Wildcats for both U.S. Navy and Fleet Air Arm use.
From 1943 onward, Wildcats equipped with bomb racks were primarily assigned to escort carriers for use against submarines and attacking ground targets, though they would also continue to score kills against Japanese fighters, bombers and kamikaze aircraft.
Larger fighters such as the Hellcat and the Corsair and dedicated dive bombers were needed aboard fleet carriers, and the Wildcat's slower landing speed made it more suitable for shorter flight decks.
In desperation, lightly armed Avengers and FM-2 Wildcats from Taffys 1, 2 and 3 resorted to tactics such as strafing ships, including the bridge of the Japanese battleship , while the destroyers and destroyer escorts charged the enemy.
During the course of the war, Navy and Marine F4Fs and FMs flew 15,553 combat sorties (14,027 of these from aircraft carriers), destroying 1,327 enemy aircraft at a cost of 178 aerial losses, 24 to ground/shipboard fire, and 49 to operational causes (an overall kill-to-loss ratio of 6.9:1).
The original Grumman F4F-1 design was a biplane, which proved inferior to rival designs, necessitating a complete redesign as a monoplane named the F4F-2.
This design was still not competitive with the Brewster F2A Buffalo which won initial U.S. Navy orders, but when the F4F-3 development was fitted with a more powerful version of the engine, a Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp R-1830-76, featuring a two-stage supercharger, it showed its true potential.
U.S. Navy orders followed as did some (with Wright Cyclone engines) from France; these ended up with the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm after the fall of France and entered service on 8 September 1940.
These aircraft, designated by Grumman as G-36A, had a different cowling from other earlier F4Fs and fixed wings, and were intended to be fitted with French armament and avionics following delivery.
In British service initially, the aircraft were known as the Martlet I, but not all Martlets would be to exactly the same specifications as U.S. Navy aircraft.
The British directly ordered and received a version with the original Twin Wasp, but again with a modified cowling, under the manufacturer designation G-36B.
These were followed by 30 folding wing aircraft (F4F-3As) which were originally destined for the Hellenic Air Force, which were also designated Martlet IIIs.
Poor design of the armament installation on early F4Fs caused these otherwise reliable machine guns to frequently jam, a problem common to wing-mounted weapons of many U.S. fighters early in the war.
An F4F-3 flown by Lieutenant Edward O'Hare shot down, within a few minutes, five Mitsubishi twin-engine bombers attacking off Bougainville on 20 February 1942.
A shortage of two-stage superchargers led to the development of the F4F-3A, which was basically the F4F-3 but with a Pratt & Whitney R-1830-90 radial engine with a more primitive single-stage two-speed supercharger.
The F4F-3A, which was capable of at , was used side by side with the F4F-3, but its poorer performance made it unpopular with U.S. Navy fighter pilots.
11 F4F-3s of VMF-211 were at the Ewa Marine Air Corps Station on Oahu; nine of these were damaged or destroyed during the Japanese attack.
The detachment of VMF-211 on Wake lost seven Wildcats to Japanese attacks on 8 December, but the remaining five put up a fierce defense, making the first bomber kill on 9 December.
During these battles, it became clear that attacks without fighter escort amounted to suicide, but that the fighter component on the carriers was completely insufficient to provide both fighter cover for the carrier and an escort for an attack force.
This floatplane version of the F4F-3 was developed for use at forward island bases in the Pacific, before the construction of airfields.
As the performance of the basic F4F-3 was already below that of the Zero, the F4F-3S was clearly of limited usefulness.
The F4F-4 was the definitive version that saw the most combat service in the early war years, including the Battle of Midway.
The F4F-3 was replaced by the F4F-4 in June 1942, during the Battle of Midway; only VMF-221 still used them at that time.
This version was less popular with American pilots because the same amount of ammunition was spread over two additional guns, decreasing firing time.
With the F4F-3's four .50 in (12.7 mm) guns and 450 rpg, pilots had 34 seconds of firing time; six guns decreased ammunition to 240 rpg, which could be expended in less than 20 seconds.
The increase to six guns was attributed to the Royal Navy, who wanted greater firepower to deal with German and Italian foes.
Rate of climb was noticeably worse in the F4F-4; while Grumman optimistically claimed the F4F-4 could climb at a modest per minute, in combat conditions, pilots found their F4F-4s capable of ascending at only per minute.
Moreover, the F4F-4's folding wing was intended to allow five F4F-4s to be stowed in the space required by two F4F-3s.
In practice, the folding wings allowed an increase of about 50% in the number of Wildcats carried aboard U.S. fleet aircraft carriers.
A variant of the F4F-4, designated F4F-4B for contractual purposes, was supplied to the British with a modified cowling and Wright Cyclone engine.
Grumman's Wildcat production ceased in early 1943 to make way for the newer F6F Hellcat, but General Motors continued producing Wildcats for both U.S. Navy and Fleet Air Arm use.
Late in the war, the Wildcat was obsolescent as a front line fighter compared to the faster (380 mph/610 km/h) F6F Hellcat or much faster (446 mph/718 km/h) F4U Corsair.
The Wildcat's lower landing speed and ability to take off without a catapult made it more suitable for shorter flight decks.
At first, GM produced the FM-1, identical to the F4F-4, but reduced the number of guns to four, and added wing racks for two 250 lb (110 kg) bombs or six rockets.
Production later switched to the improved FM-2 (based on Grumman's XF4F-8 prototype) optimized for small-carrier operations, with a more powerful engine (the Wright R-1820-56), and a taller tail to cope with the torque.
The F2M-1 was a planned development of the FM-1 by General Motors / Eastern Aircraft to be powered by the improved XR-1820-70 engine, but the project was cancelled before any aircraft were built.
At the end of 1939, Grumman received a French order for 81 aircraft of model G-36A, to equip their new s: and .
The main difference with the basic model G-36 was due to the unavailability for export of the two-stage supercharged engine of F4F-3.
The armament which was to be fitted in France was six 7.5 mm (.296 in) Darne machine guns (two in the fuselage and four in the wings).
The throttle was modified again, four 0.50 in (12.7 mm) guns were installed in the wings and most traces of the original ownership removed.
The first Martlets entered British service in August 1940, with 804 Naval Air Squadron, stationed at Hatston in the Orkney Islands.
Belgium surrendered before any aircraft were delivered and by 10 May 1940, the aircraft order was transferred to the Royal Navy.
Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment (A&AEE) testing of the Martlet II at a mean weight of approximately 7,350 lb showed a maximum speed of 293 mph at 5,400 ft and 13,800 ft, a maximum climb rate of 1940 fpm at 7,600 ft at 7,790 lb weight, and a time to climb to 20,000 ft of 12.5 minutes.
The Martlet was the second single-seat, monoplane fighter to operate from Royal Navy aircraft carriers following the introduction of the Sea Hurricane IB on in July 1941.
The first shipboard operations of the type in British service were in September 1941, aboard , a very small escort carrier with a carrier deck of by , no elevators and no hangar deck.
The main difference was the use of a Wright R-1820-40B Cyclone in a distinctly more rounded and compact cowling, with a single double-wide flap on each side of the rear and no lip intake.
Boscombe Down testing of the Martlet IV at 7,350 lb weight showed a maximum speed of 278 mph at 3,400 ft and 298 mph at 14,600 ft, a maximum climb rate of 1580 fpm at 6,200 ft at 7,740 lb weight, and a time to climb to 20,000 ft of 14.6 minutes.
The Fleet Air Arm purchased 312 FM-1s, originally with the designation of Martlet V. In January 1944, a decision was made to retain the American names for US-supplied aircraft, redesignating the batch as the Wildcat V.
Jack Smith worked at FirePower Systems Inc., a subsidiary of Canon Inc., where he designed integrated circuits for use in high performance PowerPC workstations, and invented and marketed the first web server accelerator card that boosted server performance significantly.
Smith came up with the idea for anonymous web-based email in 1995, and worked with Sabeer Bhatia, his colleague at Apple, to found the company.
He had also served as a Director of Engineering of Microsoft, first heading its Hotmail engineering division, and then leading a team developing next generation Internet software infrastructure.
The original lineup was: Jimmy Beaumont (lead), Janet Vogel (soprano), Wally Lester (tenor), Jackie Taylor (bass voice, guitarist), Joe Verscharen (baritone).
In 1975 Wally Lester and Joe Versharen left the group; they were replaced by new members, Jimmie Ross and Bob Sholes.
In 1978, the Detroit based record producer Don Davis — who produced Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr., Johnny Taylor, the Dramatics, and the Dells — picked up one of his favorite groups (the Skyliners) to record in his United Sound Studios.
David Proch (at age 44) the third person to sing tenor for the Skyliners, died on October 19, 1998, in a car accident.
Jimmy Beaumont (born James Beaumont on October 21, 1940 in Pittsburgh) died in McKeesport, Pennsylvania on October 7, 2017, aged 76.
Until his death, Jimmy Beaumont performed with the Skyliners in their current line-up of Nick Pociask, Frank Czuri, John Sarkis, and Donna Groom (whose husband, Mark Groom, has been the group's drummer/conductor for more than 25 years).
With Beaumont's family present, the dedication ceremony took place at the park's Lions Bandshell and was followed by a concert with the current Skyliners.
In chemistry, a glycoside is a molecule in which a sugar is bound to another functional group via a glycosidic bond.
These can be activated by enzyme hydrolysis, which causes the sugar part to be broken off, making the chemical available for use.
In formal terms, a glycoside is any molecule in which a sugar group is bonded through its anomeric carbon to another group via a glycosidic bond.
For example, the glycone and aglycone portions can be chemically separated by hydrolysis in the presence of acid and can be hydrolyzed by alkali.
Fischer glycosidation refers to the synthesis of glycosides by the reaction of unprotected monosaccharides with alcohols (usually as solvent) in the presence of a strong acid catalyst.
The Koenigs-Knorr reaction is the condensation of glycosyl halides and alcohols in the presence of metal salts such as silver carbonate or mercuric oxide.
If the glycone group of a glycoside is glucose, then the molecule is a glucoside; if it is fructose, then the molecule is a fructoside; if it is glucuronic acid, then the molecule is a glucuronide; etc.
In the body, toxic substances are often bonded to glucuronic acid to increase their water solubility; the resulting glucuronides are then excreted.
Salicin is converted in the body into salicylic acid, which is closely related to aspirin and has analgesic, antipyretic, and antiinflammatory effects.
Plants that make cyanogenic glycosides store them in the vacuole, but, if the plant is attacked, they are released and become activated by enzymes in the cytoplasm.
Along with playing a role in deterring herbivores, in some plants they control germination, bud formation, carbon and nitrogen transport, and possibly act as antioxidants.
The production of cyanogenic glycosides is an evolutionarily conserved function, appearing in species as old as ferns and as recent as angiosperms.
These compounds are made by around 3,000 species; in screens they are found in about 11% of cultivated plants but only 5% of plants overall—humans seem to have selected for them.
Examples include amygdalin and prunasin which are made by the bitter almond tree; other species that produce cyanogenic glycosides are sorghum (from which dhurrin, the first cyanogenic glycoside to be identified, was first isolated), barley, flax, white clover, and cassava, which produces linamarin and lotaustralin.
Amygdalin and a synthetic derivative, laetrile, were investigated as potential drugs to treat cancer and were heavily promoted as alternative medicine; they are ineffective and dangerous.
Steroid saponins, for example, in Dioscorea wild yam the sapogenin diosgenin—in form of its glycoside dioscin—is an important starting material for production of semi-synthetic glucocorticoids and other steroid hormones such as progesterone.
In general, the use of the term saponin in organic chemistry is discouraged, because many plant constituents can produce foam, and many triterpene-glycosides are amphipolar under certain conditions, acting as a surfactant.
Saponins are also natural ruminal antiprotozoal agents that are potential to improve ruminal microbial fermentation reducing ammonia concentrations and methane production in ruminant animals.
They are used in the treatment of heart diseases, e.g., congestive heart failure (historically as now recognised does not improve survivability; other agents are now preferred) and arrhythmia.
She operated in Hawaiian waters in the summer and early fall, then got underway on 23 November for Yokosuka and her first West Pacific deployment.
In June 1965, she was outfitted with a capsule retrieval device and participated in the Gemini IV Space Program as back up Pacific recovery ship.
While in berth at Pearl Harbor on 24 November 1965, an anti-submarine torpedo was discharged from the ship and landed on the pier.
She was awarded the Naval Unit Commendation for exceptionally meritorious service in Vietnamese waters from 29 August 1967 to 17 February 1968 upon her return to Pearl Harbor.
She was low on supplies during the initial days in the Indian Ocean, but supply ships soon caught up with the group.
The ship was towed from Hawaii to Australia at a cost of A$559,706, arrived in Sydney on 2 February 1994, and was berthed at Fleet Base East.
While in Australian hands, the team painted the number 40 on the bow, filling a gap in the pennant number sequence for their three destroyers.

The primary objective, at the time of its formation, was to provide an agreed basis for holding world championships in competitive ballroom dance.
[http://www.wikidancesport.com/wiki/1047/world-dance-council <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>] Initially consisting of nine European countries and three others, today the WDC has become the leading authority on professional dance competitions, with members in numerous countries throughout the world.
Its governing body, the Presidium, consists of a President and a number of Vice-Presidents, in 2014 seven Vice Presidents were elected.
Each member country in the WDC has its own national organisation, such as the British Dance Council, which acts as a forum for the many interested parties in that country.
The WDC also operates a WDC National Dance Council system in certain countries, which allows a multi-member system within that NDC, fostering the co-operation of major dance organisations in these countries.
Helmut Hirsch (January 27, 1916 in Stuttgart – June 4, 1937 in Berlin) was a German Jew who was executed for his part in a bombing plot intended to destabilize the German Reich.
On December 20, 1936, after telling his family he was going skiing with friends, he returned to Germany with a travel permit obtained on the false premise that he was visiting his mother, whom he claimed was ill.
It is likely that German agents in Prague had been watching him for some months, but were unable to arrest him while he remained on Czech soil.
Grunov instructed Hirsch to buy a round-trip ticket from Prague to his hometown, Stuttgart, but to travel only as far as Nuremberg.
There he was to meet a contact, who would give him baggage claim tickets for the two suitcases, which had been smuggled into Germany.
According to letters he wrote to his family from prison, he was wavering in his commitment to the plot and hoped his friend would talk him out of it.
When his friend failed to meet him as arranged, he checked into the Hotel Pelikan, across the street from the railway station.
He was charged with conspiracy to commit high treason, and was indicted for possession of explosives with criminal intent, despite the fact that he had no explosives at the time of his arrest.
Testimony at the trial made it clear that there was at least one double agent in the Black Front, who had informed on Hirsch.
A witness for the prosecution described the plot in detail that no one but a trusted member of the Black Front could have known.
Under questioning, Hirsch did not deny involvement in the plot, though the public defender assigned to his case argued that he should be acquitted since he had never carried it out.
Although Hitler was never a target of the plot, Hirsch's response gave rise to rumors printed in the international press that Hitler's assassination had been Hirsch's goal.
Hirsch's family and friends launched a campaign to free him, or at least have his sentence commuted to life in prison.
An appeal was made to the League of Nations, and the case was brought up in the House of Commons in London.
Even though Hirsch was born in Germany and lived in Stuttgart for most of his life, he never held German citizenship.
Hirsch's cousin, George Neuburger, who had moved to New York, enlisted the aid of an American lawyer, Irving S. Ottenberg, who was married to Hirsch's father's first cousin.
On April 22, 1937, by virtue of his father's newly restored citizenship, Helmut Hirsch was also declared an American citizen, although he had never set foot on American soil.
William E. Dodd, the American ambassador in Berlin, was instructed by Secretary of State Cordell Hull to intervene on Hirsch's behalf.
His sister, Katie Sugarman (Kaete Hirsch), died in 2016 having moved to the United States and possibly spared from the Nazi regime due to her family's immediate entry due to her brother.
In 1952 the Navy designated this aircraft the XS2F-1 and flew it for the first time on December 4 that year.
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s the C-1 Trader carried mail and supplies to aircraft carriers on station in the Pacific Ocean during the Vietnam War and also served as a trainer for all-weather carrier operations.
The last C-1 was retired from USN service in 1988; it was the second-to-last radial-engine aircraft in U.S military service (The last C-131 wasn't retired until 1990).
In 1956 the U.S. Marine Corps Test Unit Number 1 (MCTU #1) tested the concept of using the TF-1 variant as a vehicle for inserting reconnaissance teams behind enemy lines.
Less than three weeks later, four recon parachutists launched from the USS Bennington, which was 70 miles at sea, and jumped on a desert drop zone near El Centro California, some 100 miles inland.
The first KC-2 prototype flight is expected for November 2017 and the delivery of the first operational aircraft is scheduled for December 2018.
The longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae; also known as long-horned or longicorns) are a cosmopolitan family of beetles, typically characterized by extremely long antennae, which are often as long as or longer than the beetle's body.
The scientific name of this beetle family goes back to a figure from Greek mythology: after an argument with nymphs, the shepherd Cerambus was transformed into a large beetle with horns.
As with many large families, different authorities have tended to recognize many different subfamilies, or sometimes split subfamilies off as separate families entirely (e.g., Disteniidae, Oxypeltidae, and Vesperidae); there is thus some instability and controversy regarding the constituency of the Cerambycidae.
There are few truly defining features for the group as a whole, at least as adults, as there are occasional species or species groups which may lack any given feature; the family and its closest relatives, therefore, constitute a taxonomically difficult group, and relationships of the various lineages are still poorly understood.
While in the Mediterranean, she visited Tunis, Tunisia in northern Africa; Genoa, and Naples in Italy; Marseilles and Theoule in France; and Barcelona in Spain.

Upon return to Mayport on the 11th, the ship's crew prepared for the annual Nuclear Technical Proficiency Inspection which she passed with outstanding grades in six of seven areas evaluated.
After a dependent's cruise (7 August), the warship departed Mayport for a goodwill cruise of Latin American under operational control of Combined Joint Task Force Commander, Key West.
The guided-missile destroyer suffered substantial damage from an electrical fire in the after engine room upon her departure from Honduras, but this did not deter her from earning the top score for her class of ship in naval gunfire support qualification at Vieques (7 September).
Upon her return to Mayport on the 26th, the guided-missile destroyer remained in port, except for type training off Jacksonville (22 October), to concentrate on training and preparations for an upcoming deployment and overhaul.
After completion of sea trials (24–26 November), she set sail for Puerto Rican waters on 1 December to participate in gunfire and missile exercises.
After removal of weapons at Charleston, South Carolina (31 July – 4 August), the ship returned to Mayport on 7 August to prepare for a 15-month overhaul.
Upon arrival in Philadelphia, the warship received a warm welcome from city leaders and hosted 15,000 visitors on 29 and 30 August before she arrived in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard on the last day of the month.
In early April 1983, she tested her weapons systems during trials in Port Everglades and her ASW systems at the AUTEC range in the Bahamas.
The guided-missile destroyer conducted missile qualification training at Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico and naval gunfire support qualification at Vieques en route to refresher training at Guantanamo.
The guided-missile destroyers original schedule called for two months in the Indian Ocean following operations in the Mediterranean, however, resurgent violence in Lebanon between Christian and Druze militia followed by the killing of 241 U.S. Marines in the suicide bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut on 23 October prompted a high-speed transit to the eastern Mediterranean after she changed to 6th Fleet control on the 28th.
On 13, 18, and 19 December, the warship fire her 5-inch guns on Syrian anti-aircraft positions and claimed the destruction of her two assigned targets on the 13th.
In October, an unforeseen problem with one of her main engines kept her pierside for a month while General Electric technical representatives and the ship's crew made repairs.
She put to sea off Jacksonville the first two weeks of February 1985 to test her combat and fire control systems.
In the Persian Gulf, she operated on a radar patrol station in concert with Air Force E3A AWACS based in Saudi Arabia until January.
The guided-missile cruiser conducted more surveillance operations in the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf en route to Bahrain where the ship enjoyed a five-day port visit prior to moving to a training anchorage on the 22nd to practice engineering and damage control exercises.
She twice got underway in June for engineering training and on 8 July conducted three days of sea trials off Jacksonville.
Although a 23 December fast cruise concluded her availability, the need for a significant amount of work on her underwater hull led to the guided-missile destroyer being towed to Jacksonville Shipyard on 13 January 1987 for three months in drydock.
After a five weeks of training in West Indies waters (9 June – 16 July), she visited Bahamas for two days before returning to Mayport on 21 July 1987.
Mobile Training Team from Commander, Naval Surface Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet (ComNavSurfLant) arrived on the 27th and the ship completed a routine test and inspection the following month before getting underway for a fleet exercise on 21 August.
Before the exercise concluded on 4 September, the warship had participated in a successful missile firing as well as naval gunfire support exercises off Puerto Rico.
The guided-missile destroyer made a port Honduras (7–8 September) before she put into Mayport on the 13th for a maintenance availability.
The ship conducted inspections and training, including an inspection by Commander, DESRON 12, before she completed her availability in early December.
In addition to battle group training and operations, she visited Palma de Majorca (18–25 March), Genoa, Italy (29 March – 5 April) and Villefranche, France (11–15 April) before the battle group moved to a training anchorage at Augusta Bay, Sicily (18–24 April).
After two weeks of availability and upkeep, she got underway for the Black Sea, via the Bosporus, where a Soviet ship escorted her to Constanta, Romania (21–24 June).
The warship sailed to the Virginia Capes for tracking and live firing exercises on the 18th and 19th then returned to Mayport two days later.
After the guided-missile destroyer received a satisfactory report from the INSURV conducted 14 to 18 November she conducted an intermediate availability on the 21st.
With a Coast Guard detachment embarked, the guided-missile destroyer interdicted a small Haitian sailing vessel with 150 refugees bound for United States.
In October, the warships visited Fort Lauderdale and Tampa and she sailed to the AUTEC range for ASW training from 11 to 14 December.
The next couple of months included five French port visits, two visits to ports of call in Algeria, and one in Tunisia.
The old destroyer was sold for scrapping to International Shipbreaking Ltd., Brownsville, Texas, on 10 February 1999, towed to Brownsville by salvage tug Elsbeth III starting 18 March 1999 and dismantled at Brownsville between 12 April 1999 and 22 March 2000.
The men's Royal Rumble match is usually located at the top of the card, though there have been exceptions, such as the 1988, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2006, 2013, and 2018 events.
Due to the Rumble match taking up a large amount of time (most Rumble matches last roughly one hour), the Rumble event tends to have a smaller card than most other pay-per-view events, which routinely have six to eight matches per card.
The 2018 Royal Rumble was the first to include a women's Royal Rumble match, which was the main event for that year.
The Royal Rumble is based on the classic Battle Royal match, in which a number of wrestlers (traditionally 30) aim at eliminating their competitors by tossing them over the top rope, with both feet touching the floor.
According to Hornswoggle, who worked for WWE from 2006 until 2016 and participated in two Rumbles, participants may learn their eliminations by knowing the two wrestlers who are eliminated before them and which wrestlers are entering the Royal Rumble before and after their elimination.
Two months later, on 28 November, she deployed to the Mediterranean for her first tour, of four months, with the 6th Fleet.
From February to July 1966, the guided missile destroyer conducted her second tour with the 6th Fleet; and, on her return to the United States, changed her home port from Charleston to Norfolk, Virginia, effective 1 August, in anticipation of her first major overhaul at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard.
In July, she rejoined DesRon 6 at Charleston; and, in August, she deployed for her third tour with the 6th Fleet.
She participated in fleet and NATO exercises into January 1968; then returned to Charleston, arriving on 31 January for a month's rest before resuming operations in the Caribbean and off the east coast.
On 15 November, she was relieved by the destroyer at Rota, Spain; and, 11 days later, she returned to Charleston where she remained in port for the rest of the year.
During 1971, her schedule remained basically the same; but her annual tour with the 6th Fleet, 16 July to 11 October, was followed by visits to the Netherlands and to Denmark for bi-national and NATO operations.
In November, she conducted exercises in the Caribbean; and, in December, she prepared for another deployment in the Mediterranean with NATO's Standing Naval Force, Atlantic.
Following a month of post-deployment standdown, from 10 July until 10 August, she resumed operations along the eastern seaboard and in the Caribbean.
Her presence exerted a powerful influence during times of crisis and helped maintain peace as a component of NATO seapower throughout the Cold War period.
She distinguished herself during crises in Cyprus (1964, 1974); provided air cover for planes evacuating Americans from an insurrection in Amman, Jordan (1970); took part in contingency operations during the Arab-Israeli Yom-Kippur War (1973); was the escort combatant during the evacuation of Americans from Beirut, Lebanon (1976); and conducted Black Sea Freedom of Navigation operations (1979).
During that deployment she sortied from Bahrain on short notice and provided assistance to after she was hit by two anti-ship missiles launched by an Iraqi F-1 Mirage.
Four sailors pleaded guilty to assisting her with the highest sentence being 70 days in the brig for hiding an illegal alien and aiding entry to the United States.
She was returned to Ireland at which point she reported she was held against her will, drugged and sexually abused while on board.
A major fuel oil fire erupted from the ship's Forward Fire Room into the ship's superstructure, isolating the crew forward and aft, requiring an all-hands effort to extinguish it.
The ship had just completed a maintenance availability and a fuel oil strainer had not been assembled properly by a contractor and not inspected to verify assembly by ships company.
The result was that the assembly failed catastrophically and started a fuel oil fire, caused an officer to die, 18 other sailors to be injured and the ship to be decommissioned shortly thereafter.
Edward Bradford Titchener (11 January 1867 – 3 August 1927) was an English psychologist who studied under Wilhelm Wundt for several years.
He created the largest doctoral program in the United States (at the time) after becoming a professor at Cornell University, and his first graduate student, Margaret Floy Washburn, became the first woman to be granted a PhD in psychology (1894).
Titchener's parents, Alice Field Habin and John Titchener, eloped to marry in 1866 and his mother was disowned by her prominent Sussex family.
In autumn 1892 Titchener joined the Sage School of Philosophy at Cornell University as an untenured lecturer teaching philosophy and psychology.
He developed a psychology laboratory, gained editing positions and in 1895 gained tenure, a full professorship and independence from the Sage School.
She, and his sisters, had lived in difficult circumstances after the death of his father, with his sisters spending time in an orphanage and then entering domestic service.
Titchener's ideas on how the mind worked were heavily influenced by Wundt's theory of voluntarism and his ideas of Association and Apperception (the passive and active combinations of elements of consciousness respectively).
Titchener attempted to classify the structures of the mind in the way a chemist breaks down chemicals into their component parts—water into hydrogen and oxygen, for example.
He conceived of hydrogen and oxygen as structures of a chemical compound, and sensations and thoughts as structures of the mind.
Each of these related to some corresponding quality of stimulus, although some stimuli were insufficient to provoke their relevant aspect of sensation.
Titchener believed that if the basic components of the mind could be defined and categorised that the structure of mental processes and higher thinking could be determined.
What each element of the mind is, how those elements interact with each other and why they interact in the ways that they do was the basis of reasoning that Titchener used in trying to find structure to the mind.
The subject would be instructed not to report the name of the object (pencil) because that did not describe the raw data of what the subject was experiencing.
This manual of Titchener's provided students with in-depth outlines of procedure for experiments on optical illusions, Weber's Law, visual contrast, after-images, auditory and olfactory sensations, perception of space, ideas, and associations between ideas, as well as descriptions proper behaviour during experiments and general discussion of psychological concepts.
Titchener put great stock in the systematic work of Gustav Fechner, whose psychophysics advanced the notion that it was indeed possible to measure mental phenomena (Titchener 1902, p. cviii- cix).
Titchener placed a great deal of emphasis on the importance of harmony and communication between the two memberships in these partnerships.
Communication, in particular, was necessary, because illness or agitation on the part of the observer could affect the outcome of any given experiment.
Recent brain imaging studies have been able to confirm these findings by showing that attention can speed up perceptual brain activation.
However, although his idea of structuralism thrived while he was alive and championing for it, structuralism did not live on after his death.
Some modern reflections on Titchener consider the narrow scope of his psychology and the strict, limited methodology he deemed acceptable as a prominent explanation for the fall of Titchener's structuralism after his death.
Structuralism, along with Wundt's voluntarism, were both effectively challenged and improved upon, though they did influence many schools of psychology today.
Titchener's effect on the history of psychology, as it is taught in classrooms, was partially the work of his student Edwin Boring.
The length at which Boring detailed Titchener's contributions—contemporary Hugo Münsterberg received roughly a tenth as much of Boring's attention—raise questions today as to whether or not the influence credited to Titchener on the history of psychology is inflated as a result.
The film was released on March 12, 2004, by Columbia Pictures; it was a moderate box office success and received mixed reviews from critics.
After catching his wife Amy having an affair with their friend Ted, mystery writer Mort Rainey retreats to his cabin at Tashmore Lake in upstate New York, depressed and suffering from writer's block.
The following day, Mort, who once plagiarized another author's story, tells Shooter that his story was published two years before Shooter's, invalidating his plagiarism claim.
That night, Mort's dog, Chico, is found dead outside the cabin, along with a note from Shooter giving Mort three days to provide proof.
Mort drives to his and Amy's house intending to retrieve the magazine in which his story was published but leaves because Ted and Amy are there.
Mort hires private investigator Ken Karsch, who stakes out the cabin and speaks to Tom Greenleaf, a local resident who may have seen Shooter and Mort talking together.
Karsch tells Mort that he suspects Shooter has threatened Greenleaf after Greenleaf claimed he never saw Mort and Shooter talking together.
Mort and Karsch agree to confront Shooter but first will meet up with Greenleaf at the local diner the next morning.
Mort realizes that Shooter is a figment of his imagination, a created character brought to life through Mort's undetected dissociative identity disorder, adopted to carry out malevolent tasks like killing Chico, Greenleaf, and Karsch, as well as arson.
Mort appears, speaking and acting as Shooter and wearing his hat, which a flashback reveals Mort previously bought at a flea market.
Sheriff Newsome arrives and warns Mort that he is the prime suspect in the supposed murders, he will eventually be caught, and says he is no longer welcome in town.
It is implied that Amy and Ted's bodies are buried under the corn growing there, allowing Mort to slowly destroy any evidence of their murders.
The film was a modest box office success, succeeding at recouping its budget of $40 million with a worldwide gross of $92 million.
Flying ointment is a hallucinogenic ointment said to have been used by witches in the practice of European witchcraft from at least as early as the Early Modern period, when detailed recipes for such preparations were first recorded.
The ointment is known by a wide variety of names, including witches' flying ointment, green ointment, magic salve, or lycanthropic ointment.
Typical poisonous ingredients included belladonna, henbane bell, jimson weed, black henbane, mandrake, hemlock, and/or wolfsbane, most of which contain atropine, hyoscyamine, and/or scopolamine.
The effects of transdermal absorption of complex mixtures of the active constituents of such potentially lethal plants have not been adequately studied.
Some investigators in modern times who have sought to recreate for their own use the 'flying ointment' of times past have lost their lives in the attempt.
An early proponent of the last explanation was Renaissance scholar and scientist Giambattista della Porta, who not only interviewed users of the flying ointment, but witnessed its effects upon such users at first hand, comparing the deathlike trances he observed in his subjects with their subsequent accounts of the bacchanalian revelry they had 'enjoyed'.
While studying medicine in Pavia as a young man, Augustus returned late one night to his lodgings (without a key) to find no one awake to let him in.
Climbing up to a balcony, he was able to enter through a window, and at once sought out the maidservant, who should have been awake to admit him.
The following morning he tried to question her on the matter, but she would only reply that she had been 'on a journey'.
It concerns a certain notary of Lugano who, unable to find his wife one morning, searched for her all over their estate and finally discovered her lying deeply unconscious, naked and filthy with her vagina exposed, in a corner of the pigsty.
and at first wanted to kill her on the spot, but, thinking better of such rashness, waited until she recovered from her stupor, in order to question her.
Terrified by his wrath, the poor woman fell to her knees and confessed that during the night she had 'been on a journey'.
Light is cast on the tale of the notary's wife by two accounts widely separated in time but revealing a persistent theme in European Witchcraft.
The second account dates from some 800 years later, coming from Norway in the early 18th century and is the testimony, at the age of thirteen, of one Siri Jørgensdatter.
Siri claimed that when she was seven her grandmother had taken her to the witches' sabbath on the mountain meadow Blockula ('blue-hill') : her grandmother led her to a pigsty, where she smeared a sow with some ointment which she took from a horn, whereupon grandmother and granddaughter mounted the animal and, after a short ride through the air, arrived at a building on the Sabbath mountain.
Some sources have claimed that such an ointment would best be absorbed through mucous membranes, and that the traditional image of a female witch astride a broomstick implies the application of flying ointment to the vulva.
The passage from the trial for witchcraft in Ireland of Hiberno-Norman noblewoman Alice Kyteler in 1324 quoted above is, while not explicit, certainly open to interpretations both drug-related and sexual.
It is also a very early account of such practices, pre-dating by some centuries witch trials in the early modern period.
The testimony of Dame Kyteler's maidservant, Petronilla de Meath, while somewhat compromised by having been extracted under torture, contains references not only to her mistress's abilities in the preparation of 'magical' medicines, but also her sexual behaviour, including at least one instance of (alleged) intercourse with a demon.
According to the inquisition ('in which were five knights and numerous nobles') set in motion by Richard de Ledrede, Bishop of Ossory, there was in the city of Kilkenny a band of heretical sorcerers, at the head of whom was Dame Alice Kyteler and against whom no fewer than seven charges relating to witchcraft were laid.
Deducting from the above ingredients of purely symbolic significance relating to death and heresy, one is left with the cooking, in a fatty mixture, of 'unspecified herbs' and 'horrible worms' to produce, among other preparations, 'unguents' and 'ointments' - one of which was the 'staffe-greasing' ointment later found in the 'pipe' discovered in Dame Alice's closet.
Those of the 'unspecified herbs' may well be guessed at in the light of information regarding later flying ointment recipes, but the 'horrible worms' remain more cryptic : it is unclear whether actual worms or insect larvae are intended.
Comparison of Alice Kyteler's 'staffe' and Siri Jørgensdatter's sow - both greased with a mysterious ointment, suggest the innate conservatism of European Witchcraft and the persistence of a body of women's knowledge related to sexuality and the use of a potent and complex drug.
There is no definite indication of the proportions of solanaceous herbs vs. poppy used in flying ointments, and most historical recipes for flying ointment do not include poppy.
Convinced from first hand observation that the Nazis were an increasing threat, he resigned over his inability to mobilize the Roosevelt administration, particularly the State Department, to counter the Nazis prior to the start of World War II.
His paternal English or Scottish ancestors had lived in America since the 1740s when Daniel Dodd settled among the Highland Scots in the Cape Fear Valley.
He was unable to secure an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy or at the University of North Carolina, and so taught at local schools until 1891, when he enrolled at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech).
Dodd received his bachelor's degree in 1895 and a master's degree in 1897, by which time he had begun teaching undergraduates.
On a colleague's advice, Dodd traveled to Germany and earned his Ph.D. at the University of Leipzig in 1900, based on a thesis (in German) concerning Thomas Jefferson's 1796 return to politics following a three-year hiatus.
Shortly after returning to the United States and resuming his teaching career, Dodd married Martha Johns at her family's home in nearby Wake County, North Carolina on December 25, 1901.
Dodd learned a class-conscious view of Southern history from his family, which taught him that slaveholders were responsible for the Civil War.
Recruited by the University of Chicago, Dodd began his 25-year career as Professor of American History there in 1908; he declined an offer from the University of California, Berkeley, the following year.
Dodd was the first (and for many years the only) college or university professor fully devoted to the history of the American South.
Though much of his scholarship was later superseded, Dodd helped to model a new approach to regional history: sympathetic, judicious, and less partisan than the work of earlier generations.
In 1912 he wrote speeches for presidential candidate Woodrow Wilson, a Virginian and academic whose family had similarly experienced the devastating aftermath of the American Civil War.
In 1920 Dodd reviewed the League-related parts of the speech Ohio Governor James M. Cox gave when accepting the Democratic nomination for the presidency.
Through these efforts, he developed connections to a number of figures in the Democratic Party establishment, including Josephus Daniels, Daniel C. Roper, and Edward M. House.
In addition to his responsibilities at the University of Chicago and later American University, Dodd held several positions as an officer of the American Historical Association and became that organization's president in 1934 (after his ambassadorial appointment described below).
Moreover, the Southern Historical Association was founded in November 1934 and published the first volume of the Journal of Southern History the same year.
In 1932, Dodd declined an invitation to speak with the committee charged with selecting a president of the University of Virginia.
In June 1934 some alumni touted Dodd as a possible successor to the president of the College of William and Mary.
The ambassadorship, normally a patronage position rather than one filled by a State Department professional, was offered to others, including James M. Cox and Newton D. Baker, both of whom declined citing personal reasons.
With the administration under pressure to act before the adjournment of Congress, Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper, a longtime friend of Dodd and his family, suggested his name after Dodd himself had made it clear he was seeking a diplomatic post that would allow him sufficient free time to complete his multi-volume history.
Before his departure for Berlin, State Department officials set as his priority the need to ensure that the German government did not default on its debts to American lenders.
Dodd met with a group of bankers in New York City who recognized that economic conditions in Germany made full payment unlikely.
They hoped he could argue against a German default and suggested they would agree to lower the interest on their loans from 7% to 4% to prevent it.
National City Bank and Chase National Bank held over 100 million dollars in German bonds, which Germany later proposed to pay back at the rate of thirty-cents on the dollar.
He repeatedly registered protests with the German government when payments were suspended or debts to United States lenders were treated differently from debts owed to those in other countries.
Before leaving to take up his post, Dodd consulted on the situation in Germany, and especially Nazi persecution of the Jews, with his own contacts and during interviews the State Department arranged for him.
Some of the State Department's most senior officials harbored an outright dislike of Jews, including William Phillips, Undersecretary of State, the second-highest-ranking man in the department.
Dodd met with members of the Jewish-American community, including Stephen S. Wise and Felix Warburg, who asked him to seek a reversal of the Nazis' repressive anti-Jewish policies.
Based on this view of the proper role of Jews in society, he advised Hitler in March 1934 that Jewish influence should be restrained in Germany as it was in the United States.
Dodd tried without success to save the life of Helmut Hirsch, a German-American Jew who planned to bomb parts of the Nazi party rally grounds at Nuremberg.
When Mowrer's employers arranged for him to leave and he sought to stay to cover the September 1933 Nuremberg rally, Dodd refused to support him, believing his reporting was so provocative that it made it difficult for other American journalists to work.
On October 5, 1933 Dodd gave a speech in Berlin at the American Club describing the New Deal's effect on the U.S.
His views grew more critical and pessimistic with the Night of the Long Knives in June–July 1934, when the Nazis killed prominent political opponents including many dissenters within the Nazi movement.
Dodd was one of the very few in the U.S. and European diplomatic community who reported that the Nazis were too strongly entrenched for any opposition to emerge.
Following a U.S. vacation of several months in 1936, Dodd devoted the fall to testing German reaction to a personal meeting between Roosevelt and Hitler, an initiative the President proposed, or a world peace conference.
After a series of rebuffs, Dodd produced a report for the State Department dated November 28, 1936, which Assistant Secretary Moore commended and forwarded to Roosevelt.
He was neither a political figure of the sort normally honored with such a prestigious appointment, nor a member of the social elite that formed the higher ranks of the Foreign Service.
In Berlin some of his subordinates were embarrassed by his insistence on living modestly, walking unaccompanied in the street, and leaving formal receptions so early as to appear rude.
Dodd considered his insistence on living on his $17,500 annual salary a point of pride and criticized the posh lifestyle of other embassy officials.
Early in his tenure as ambassador, Dodd decided to avoid attending the annual Nazi Party rally in Nuremberg rather than appear to endorse Hitler's regime.
In 1933, the State Department left the decision to him, and other ambassadors—including those of France and Great Britain—adopted a similar policy to Dodd's.
As the Nazi Party became indistinguishable from the government, however, the State Department preferred that Dodd attend and avoid giving offense to the German government.
State Department pressure increased each year until Dodd determined to avoid attending in 1937 by arranging a visit to the United States at the time of the rally.
His advice against sending a representative of the U.S. embassy to attend the September 1937 Nazi Party congress in Nuremberg was overridden by his State Department superiors, and the State Department allowed its overruling of Dodd's position to become public.
She noted that Dodd met her because she already knew his daughter, Martha Dodd, who was (unbeknownst to her father) a Soviet spy.
By 1936, his health had declined seriously and his clear antagonism to the German government increased his personal sense of defeat.
He supported Roosevelt's attempt to enlarge the membership of the Supreme Court, arguing that courts need to be responsive to popular wishes if the United States were to avoid totalitarian impulses.
Consistent in interpreting American institutions in terms of their place on the aristocratic-democratic continuum, he viewed the Supreme Court as an aristocratic institution in need of an infusion of democracy.
President Roosevelt, reacting to complaints about Dodd's effectiveness as well as his health, notified the State Department in April 1937 that he was prepared to see Dodd's tenure end September 1.
Given that exchange, the State Department determined that it was more important that Dodd return to Germany than to allow his resignation to appear as a response to German protests.
In 1937, Dodd stepped down as ambassador in Berlin, and President Roosevelt appointed Hugh Wilson, a senior professional diplomat, to replace him.
After leaving his State Department post, Dodd took a position at American University in Washington, D.C., as well as campaigned to warn against the dangers posed by Germany, Italy, and Japan, and detailed racial and religious persecution in Germany.
Dodd, who suffered for years from a severe throat condition exacerbated by the stress of his ambassadorship, traveled on a speaking tour of Canada and the US, establishing his reputation as a statesman who opposed the Nazis.
After a year's illness, Dodd died of pneumonia on February 9, 1940, at his country home at Round Hill, Loudoun County, Virginia.
Dodd's papers are held in several places, including the Library of Congress, the Southern Historical Collection of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, the libraries of Randolph-Macon College, Duke University, and the University of Chicago, as well as among other people's papers held by the Library of Virginia and Virginia Historical Society.
In April 1946, during the Nuremberg trials, Dodd's diaries were used as evidence against Hjalmar Schacht, a liberal economist and banker, and a Nazi government official until the end of 1937.
He faults as well Dodd's nostalgic view of the Germany of his student years and centuries past that enabled him to view German anti-Semitism as a Nazi phenomenon driven personally by Hitler without recognizing its deeper roots in German society.
The coat of some Puli dogs can be different with either thinner or thicker cords which can be flat or round depending on the texture of the coat and the balance of undercoat to outer coat.
Alternatively, the coat can be trimmed short regularly for easy maintenance although the corded coat is what attracts many people to the breed.
Pulis kept indoors need a lot of exercise to use up their energy, or they can become either shy or overactive.
The right kind of exercise includes running, running with a biker, hiking, jogging and field work; not just a walk around the corner.
Despite their bulky appearance and very thick coat, they are very fast, agile, and able to change directions instantly and are obedient enough to train for athletic competition.
Traditionally, the Puli dog breed was used as a herding dog and sometimes even as a livestock guarding dog, as well.
When restricted to closed spaces for long periods of times, they grow restless and may develop unwanted personality traits, such as becoming hyperactive or, instead, increasingly aloof and lazy.
As a livestock guarding dog, they are fiercely protective of their territory and flock, and, despite their relatively small size, will fearlessly try to scare and drive any intruder away; however, they very rarely inflict any real injuries.
They regard their family as their flock, and will keep their distance until they are sure a stranger is not a threat.
Every Puli is a natural shepherd and instinctively knows how to herd a flock of sheep or livestock even if they have been raised as a family dog and have never been trained to do it.
The Puli is a sheepdog from Hungary thought to be introduced by the migration of the Magyars from Central Asia more than 1,000 years ago.
The Komondor (or several Komondorok if there was a large amount of livestock) guarded the sheep or cattle mostly at night, while the Puli herded and guarded them during the day.
When wolves or bears attacked the livestock, the Puli would alert the pack and the Komondorok would come and fight the intruders.
Although the coats may look slightly similar, the Puli has never worked in water and the Puli's coat does not grow continuously in the same fashion as a corded Poodle's coat once the cords are formed.
Travelers brought the Puli with them to the Carpathian basin, to help organize the flocks and herd the stallions of the area.
Around the beginning of the 20th century, a real turning point for the breed came when it was rediscovered but no longer used much as a sheepdog; extensive shepherding was replaced by intensive farming.
Although their traditional duty was kept, they started to fulfill jobs that were convenient in the circumstances of their owner: they became house dogs.
After World War II, the breed became a less popular pet; even now, the breed has not been able to regain the popularity it previously enjoyed.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture imported four purebred Pulik in 1935 to Beltsville, Maryland as part of an experiment when trying to help American agriculturists concerned with the problem of herding dogs which sometimes killed the animals to which they had been entrusted to control.
The Pulik were bred among themselves and crossed with the German Shepherd, the Chow Chow and perhaps with two turkish sheepdogs which were quartered there at the time.
On the tests given by researchers there, Pulik scored, on the average, between 75 and 85, where other herding breeds, scored in the range of 12 to 14.
When WWII broke out, the Pulik were auctioned off to professional breeders, and, it is thought that, it is from these four dogs and their progeny that history of the Puli in the United States began.
Notable for being one of the few things that could live and thrive in such a place, in time it became a sort of mascot for the town.
Lovey and Dude Romeo of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania have appeared extensively online and in YouTube videos Puli PrayingOriginally from Green Bay Wisconsin.
(first released by Iđut, 1989, later re-released by Real World) was her breakthrough release, and she continued to record popular albums throughout the 1990s.
Boine was born and raised in Gámehisnjárga, a village on the river Anarjohka in Karasjok municipality in Finnmark, in the far north of Norway.
The front cover curiously did not show the name of the album, or the name or face of Mari Boine herself; the back cover printed the name 'Mari Boine Persen', the Persen surname identifying her as a Norwegian rather than a Sami.
On the 2007 release on her own Lean label, the album cover explicitly names Mari Boine with her Sami surname, and shows her (see illustration) in full Sami costume as a shamanistic dancer of her own people, while the white background, like the snowy owl of the original release, hints at the snows of the north.
Boine was asked to perform at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, but refused because she perceived the invitation as an attempt to bring a token minority to the ceremonies.
For example, on 'Gula Gula' the instruments used are drum, guitar, electric bass clarinet, dozo n'koni, ganga, claypot, darboka, tambourine, seed rattles, cymbal, clarinet, piano, frame drum, saz, drone drum, hammered dulcimer, bosoki, overtone flute, bells, bass, quena, charango and antara.
She was appointed knight, first class in the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav for her artistic diversity on 18 September 2009.
The Vatican Apostolic Archive (; ), known until October 2019 as the Vatican Secret Archive, is the central repository in the Vatican City for all of the acts promulgated by the Holy See.
The pope, as Sovereign of Vatican City, owns the material held in the archive until his death or resignation, with ownership passing to his successor.
The archive also contains the state papers, correspondence, papal account books, and many other documents which the church has accumulated over the centuries.
In the 17th century, under the orders of Pope Paul V, the Secret Archive was separated from the Vatican Library, where scholars had some very limited access, and remained closed to outsiders until the late 19th century, when Pope Leo XIII opened the archive to researchers, more than a thousand of whom now examine some of its documents each year.
Most of the materials which are actively denied to outsiders relate to contemporary personalities and activities, including everything dated after 1939, as well as the private records of church figures after 1922.
On 28 October 2019, Pope Francis issued an Apostolic Letter motu proprio dated 22 October changing the name Vatican Secret Archive to Vatican Apostolic Archive.
The vast majority of these documents are now lost, but we know of them through references in contemporary and later works.
In later centuries, as the Church amassed power, popes would visit heads of state to negotiate treaties or make political appearances around Europe.
When they travelled for diplomatic or other purposes, they would take their archives with them, since they needed it for administrative work.
By the 11th century, the archives of the church were devolved to at least three separate sites: the Lateran, St. Peter's Basilica, and the Palatine palace.
The various places where the archives were kept along the way were sacked by the Ghibellines three separate times, in 1314, 1319, and 1320.
The Western Schism resulted in two sets of papal archives being developed at once; this rose to three during the era of Pisan antipope John XXIII.
During the 1404 sack of the Vatican, papal registers and historical documents were thrown into the streets, and Pope Innocent VII fled the city.
His successor, Pope Gregory XII, supposedly sold off a large number of archival materials in 1406, including some of the papal registers.
As Napoleon conquered the states on the Italian peninsula in the 1790s, he demanded works of art and manuscripts as tribute.
The 1798 Treaty of Tolentino made even greater demands and the works sent to Paris included the Codex Vaticanus, the oldest extant manuscript of the Bible in Greek.
By the time Napoleon became emperor in 1804, he envisaged a central archive in Paris of the records and treasures of Europe.
In 1809 he ordered the entire Vatican Archive transferred to Paris and by 1813 more than 3000 crates had been shipped with only modest losses.
His predecessor Marino Marini had produced an account of Galileo's trials that failed to satisfy scholars who saw it as an apology for the Inquisition.
Beginning in 1867, Theiner and his successor granted individual scholars access to the manuscripts relating to the trial of Galileo, leading to an extended dispute about their authenticity.
Scholarly access was briefly interrupted following the dissolution of the Papal States in 1870, when Archive officials restricted access to assert their control against competing claims by the victorious Italian state.
In 1879, Pope Leo XIII appointed as archivist Cardinal Josef Hergenröther, who immediately wrote a memo recommending that historians be allowed to access to the Archive.
When the German Protestant historian Theodor von Sickel, in April 1883, published the results of his research in the Archive that defended the Church against charges of forgery, Pope Leo was further persuaded.
In August 1883 he wrote to the three cardinals who shared responsibility for the Archive and praised the potential of historical research to clarify the role of the papacy in European culture and Italian politics.
In 1979, historian Carlo Ginzburg sent a letter to the newly-elected Pope John Paul II, asking that the archives of the Holy Office (the Roman Inquisition) be opened.
Though the Archive has developed policies that restrict access to material by pontificate, with access granted 75 years after the close of a pope's reign, popes have granted exceptions.
Pope Francis announced on 4 March 2019 that materials relating to Pope Pius XII will be opened on 2 March 2020.
In addition to assessing Pius's response to the Holocaust, the archives of the papacy of Pope Pius XII should point to much broader shift in global Christianity from Europe to the global South.
Since 2006, members of the archives department have been organising the estimated 16 million pages of documents, to get them ready for viewing by researchers.
Complete archives of letters written by the popes, known as the papal registers, are available beginning with the papacy of Innocent III (r. 1198-1216).
Notable documents include Henry VIII of England's request for a marriage annulment, a handwritten transcript of the trial of Galileo for heresy, and letters from Michelangelo complaining he had not been paid for work on the Sistine Chapel.
They included the 1521 bull of excommunication of Martin Luther and a letter from Mary, Queen of Scots, written while awaiting her execution.
The entrance to the Archive, adjacent to the Vatican Library, is through the Porta di S. Anna in via di Porta Angelica (rione of Borgo).
Qualified scholars from institutions of higher education pursuing scientific research with an adequate knowledge of archival research may apply for an entry card.
Scholars need an introductory letter from either a recognized institute of research or a suitably qualified person in their field of historical research.
With limited exceptions, materials dated after 1939 are unavailable to researchers until 2 March 2020, when material from Pius XII's tenure (1939-1958) is opened.
Early in the 21st century, the Vatican Apostolic Archives began an in-house digitization project, to attempt to both make the documents more available to researchers and to help to preserve aging physical documents.
While character-recognition software is adept at reading typed text, the cramped and many-serifed style of medieval handwriting makes distinguishing individual characters difficult for the software.
The confidentiality of the material means that, in spite of the centuries that have passed since 1564, special rules apply to its publication.
Recognized as the first great slugger in baseball history, and among the greatest sluggers of his era, he held the record for career home runs from to , with his final total of 106 tying for the fourth most of the 19th century.
His career slugging percentage of .519 remained the Major League record for a player with at least 4,000 at bats until Ty Cobb edged ahead of him in 1922.
At the time of his initial retirement, he also ranked second in career triples (205), and third in runs batted in (1,296) and hits.
A dominant hitter during the prime of his career, he led (or was in the top of) the league in most offensive categories, including batting average, runs scored, runs batted in (RBI), on-base percentage and hits.
He led the league in batting average five times, the most by a 19th-century player, and his career .342 batting average still ranks ninth all-time.
Brouthers is one of only 29 players in baseball history to date who have appeared in Major League games in four decades.
He was also an active players' union member, and was elected vice president of the Brotherhood of Professional Base Ball Players.
Brouthers was born in Sylvan Lake, New York, to Michael and Annie Brooder, Catholic immigrants from Ireland; upon arriving in New York, Michael Brooder was recruited to Dutchess County to work in open pit iron mines in the town of Beekman.
Brouthers may have been named after Saint Denis, as a local Catholic church by that name was founded in the same year.
The family eventually moved to the nearby hamlet of Fishkill Plains before settling in the village of Wappingers Falls where Michael found safer work at a printing mill.
Brouthers played organized baseball from the time that he was a child, from playing in the local sandlots to the semi-professional Actives of Wappingers Falls.
On July 7, , while running the bases, he collided at home plate with a catcher, named Johnny Quigley, of the Clippers of Harlem.
Brouthers made his Major League debut on June 23, , for the Troy Trojans, and contributed a single in a come-from-behind victory against the Syracuse Stars.
Although he was a first baseman, he was called upon to pitch that season with the Trojans in three games, one of which was on August 21 against Tommy Bond and the Boston Red Caps.
After his release, Brouthers played for a minor league team in Rochester, New York, and on one occasion in , he hit a game-winning home run in an exhibition game versus the Buffalo Bisons, off future Hall of Fame pitcher Pud Galvin.
He hit well enough in the minors to get another shot with the Trojans, which lasted just three games when he had only two hits in 12 at bats, and he was released again.
Brouthers got his first chance to be an everyday player in , when he was signed by the Bisons, the team that he did well against the previous year.
Along with his two batting titles, during his time in Buffalo he also led the NL in slugging five times, hits and total bases twice each, and triples and RBIs once each, with his 1883 total of 97 RBIs setting a new Major League record; Cap Anson had set the previous mark of 83 the year before, and retook the record the following year with a total of 102.
In , his first season in Detroit, he again led the league in slugging percentage, the sixth year in a row, and led the league in total bases and doubles and claimed his first home run title.
He finished within the top 10 in most offensive categories, including a third-place finish in the batting race with a lofty .370 average.
On September 10, , Brouthers hit three home runs‚ along with a double and a single, to set the NL record with 15 total bases in one game.
This mark tied the Major League record at the time, as Guy Hecker of the Louisville Colonels totaled 15 the previous month in the American Association.
The team finished with a record of 87 wins and 36 losses, but finished in second place behind the Chicago White Stockings by  games.
During the off-season, on November 11, , The Executive Council of the Brotherhood of Professional Base Ball Players‚ formed in 1885 as the first organized players' union, met and re-elected John Montgomery Ward as president, and elected Brouthers as vice president.
Brouthers batted .338, and led the league in runs scored with 153, doubles with 36, and on-base percentage, while again finishing in the top 10 in most offensive categories.
The Wolverines sealed a series championship with their eighth victory in 11 games; however, the two teams finished the series anyway, with Detroit winning 10 games to the Browns' five.
Following the season, on November 17, , members of the NL officially recognized the Brotherhood and met with a Brotherhood committee that consisted of three players – Ward‚ Hanlon and Brouthers.
The Detroit team did not fare as well, finishing in fifth place with a record of 68–63, which was a full 16 games behind the first-place New York Giants.
Even with the lower numbers, he still led the league in runs scored with 118, and doubles for the third year in a row.
The team's decline is attributed to prolonged injuries sustained by key players, while turmoil that unfolded concerning veteran stars' salary demands, and with falling attendance numbers, the club was forced to fold at the season's end.
In , his only season with the Beaneaters, he batted a league-leading .373, along with 105 runs scored and 118 runs batted in; he struck out only six times.
After the season, he – along with many Major League players – jumped to the Players' League, a league established by the Brotherhood which competed against the two other Major Leagues already in existence.
The Reds, behind the talents of Brouthers, Harry Stovey, Hardy Richardson, Charles Radbourn and player-manager King Kelly, finished in first place, games ahead of the Brooklyn Ward's Wonders.
The Players' League lasted just the one season, and the Reds merged into the American Association, carrying many of the championship team's previous players.
Brouthers led the league in batting average (.350), on-base percentage and slugging, while finishing second in triples with 19, sixth in doubles with 26, and third in RBIs with 109.
After the American Association folded following the season, Brouthers was sent to the Brooklyn Grooms of the NL, where he played two seasons.
Most of his success came in that first season, when he led the league in batting average, hits, RBIs and total bases.
This trade brought in two future Hall of Fame players, which added to the already established Orioles core of players including third baseman John McGraw, catcher Wilbert Robinson, shortstop Hughie Jennings, and center fielder Joe Kelley, all future Hall of Fame members.
The Orioles won the league's championship that season, and it was Brouthers' last full season in the majors, as he again produced great numbers, batting .347, finishing seventh in total bases, fifth in RBIs (128), fourth in doubles (39), and fifth in triples (23).
During his career, and most notably during his time in Baltimore, he was known to always have his dog, an Irish setter named Kelly, and had him sit in the players' area.
It is claimed that the players never minded much, as he was very well-behaved and never left the area to run out on the field or made much noise.
Early in the season, Baltimore sold Brouthers to the Louisville Colonels for $500, as his skills seemed to have diminished, and he only played in 24 of Louisville's games that season; he came back to hit .309 for them, ending the year with a .300 overall mark.
Following the season, Louisville sold him to the Philadelphia Phillies for $500, where he played in 57 games in , batting .344.
It was his last season in the majors until he appeared for the New York Giants, where he was hitless in a two-game stint before retiring.
He is tied with Mike Tiernan for fourth among 19th-century home run hitters with a total of 106, behind Roger Connor (138), Sam Thompson (127), and Stovey (122).
Brouthers played minor league baseball for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the Eastern League, where he won a batting title with a .415 average.
Later he played for the Poughkeepsie, New York, team of the Hudson River League, batting a league-leading .373 at age 46.
He remained near baseball for many years, working for his former teammate and New York Giants manager John McGraw, who placed him in charge of the Polo Grounds press gate.
On New Year's Eve in 1884, Brouthers married Mary Ellen Croak, an Irish immigrant to New York and fellow Catholic, at St. Mary's in Wappingers Falls.
Brouthers died at the age of 74 in East Orange, New Jersey, and is interred at St. Mary's Church Cemetery in Wappingers Falls, New York.
In , Brouthers and several other stars of the era prior to 1910 were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee.
In honor of his achievements in Buffalo, he was inducted into the newly formed Buffalo Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985.
In 1999, a survey of the Society for American Baseball Research ranked him as the sixth-greatest player of the 19th century.
A virginal is a smaller and simpler rectangular or polygonal form of harpsichord with only one string per note running more or less parallel to the keyboard on the long side of the case.
The mechanism of the virginals is identical to the harpsichord's, in that its wire strings are plucked by plectra mounted in jacks.
The strings are plucked either at one end, as with the harpsichord, or, in the case of the muselar, nearer the middle, producing a richer, flute-like tone.
A further view is that the name derives from the Virgin Mary as it was used by nuns to accompany hymns in honour of the Virgin.
In England, during the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras, any stringed keyboard instrument was often described as a virginals, and could equally apply to a harpsichord or possibly even a clavichord or spinet.
Thus, the masterworks of William Byrd and his contemporaries were often played on full-size, Italian or Flemish harpsichords, and not only on the virginals as we call it today.
Like the harpsichord, the virginals has its origins in the medieval psaltery to which a keyboard was applied, probably in the 15th century.
It has 32 courses of strings set in motion by striking the fingers on projecting keys, giving a dulcet tone in both whole and half steps.
Small early virginals were played either in the lap, or more commonly, rested on a table, but nearly all later examples were provided with their own stands.
The heyday of the virginals was the latter half of the 16th century to the later 17th century until the high baroque period when it was eclipsed in England by the bentside spinet and in Germany by the clavichord.
The keyboard is placed left of centre, and the strings are plucked at one end, although farther from the bridge than in the harpsichord.
The principal differences in construction lie mainly in the placement of the keyboard: Italian instruments invariably had a keyboard that projected from the case, whilst northern virginals had their keyboards recessed in a keywell.
The cases of Italian instruments were made of cypress wood and were of delicate manufacture, whilst northern virginals were usually more stoutly constructed of poplar.
Early Italian virginals were usually hexagonal in shape, the case following the lines of the strings and bridges, and a few early Flemish examples are similarly made.
From about 1580 however, nearly all virginals were rectangular, the Italian models often having an outer case like harpsichords from that country.
Here, the keyboard is placed right of centre and the strings are plucked about one-third the way along their sounding length.
However, this comes at a price: the jacks and keys for the left hand are inevitably placed in the middle of the instrument's soundboard, with the result that any mechanical noise from these is amplified.
In addition to mechanical noise, from the string vibrating against the descending plectrum, the central plucking point in the bass makes repetition difficult, because the motion of the still-sounding string interferes with the ability of the plectrum to connect again.
Muselars were popular in the 16th and 17th centuries and their ubiquity has been compared to that of the upright piano in the early 20th century, but like other types of virginals they fell out of use in the 18th century.
In the Flemish tradition these were often – perhaps always – sold together with a large virginals, to which the ottavino could be coupled (see Double Virginals below).
In the Italian tradition, an ottavino was usually a separate instrument of its own, being fitted in its own outer case, just like larger Italian instruments.
This consisted of two instruments in one: a normal virginals (either spinet or muselar) with one (say) 6′ register, and an ottavino with one 3′ register.
The smaller ottavino was stored (rather like a drawer) under the soundboard next to the keyboard of the larger instrument, and could be withdrawn and played as a separate keyboard instrument.
However, the two instruments could also be coupled together, the ottavino being placed over the strings of the larger virginals (once the jackrail was removed), so that the jacks of the latter passed through a slot in the bottom of the ottavino.
The jacks of the larger instrument now activated the keys of the ottavino, so that both instruments sounded simultaneously, giving a more brilliant effect.
These predate the earliest extant Mother and Child virginal by 30 years (the 1581 Hans Ruckers), and the earliest known double manual harpsichords by about 60 years.
The keyboard compass of most virginals was C/E to C (45 notes, 4 octaves), which allowed the performance of the music contemporarily available for the instruments.
The lower octave was tuned to a short octave, so that the bottom E sounded C, the bottom F sounded D, and the bottom G sounded E, thus making use of nominal keys that were rarely used in the contemporary repertory.
The pitch differences between the models offered by the Ruckers workshops were by no means arbitrary, but corresponded to the musical intervals of a tone, a fourth, a fifth, an octave, and a ninth.
Most modern instruments are full-sized ones at 8′ pitch or ottavini at 4′ pitch, although there are no surviving Ruckers instruments of this pitch, and most probably none were ever made by his workshop.
Whilst many early virginals throughout Europe were left in plain wood, they were soon provided with rich decoration, which may have contributed to the survival of many such instruments.
From mouldings on case edges, jackrails and namebattens to adornment with ivory, mother-of-pearl, marble, agate, tortoiseshell or semi-precious stones, not to mention intricate painting, no expense was spared by those who could afford it.
Most Flemish virginals had their soundboards painted with flowers, fruit, birds, caterpillars, moths and even cooked prawns, all within blue scalloped borders and intricate blue arabesques.
Occasionally the inside of the lid bore a decorative scene; more often it was covered with block-printed papers embellished with a Latin motto, usually connected with morality or music.
Where there was an outer case, it was often this that was decorated, leaving the actual instrument plain (typically for Venetian virginals).
Keytops could be of plain boxwood, or lavishly decorated (as was often the case in northern Italy) with ivory, ebony, mother-of-pearl or tortoiseshell among other materials.
Traditionally, the soundboards of both northern and Italian virginals were pierced with a rose, sometimes two or three in early days.
Although these were a throwback to the rose in the medieval lute, they were never carved integrally as part of the soundboard.
In Italian instruments they were usually constructed by combining multiple layers of pierced parchment, so that the final result looked like a gothic rose window, or an inverted wedding cake.
Indeed, nearly all the keyboard music of the renaissance sounds equally well on harpsichord, virginals, clavichord or organ, and it is doubtful if any composer had a particular instrument in mind when writing keyboard scores.
The extent of freedom indispensable to create art freely differs regarding the existence or nonexistence of national instruments established to protect, to promote, to control or to censor artists and their creative expressions.
This is why universal, regional and national legal provisions have been installed to guarantee the right to freedom of expression in general and of artistic expression in particular.
2016 saw a worrying amount of actions by non-state actors, ranging from militant extremists to peaceful community groups, against art and artists.
The growing importance of artistic freedom as a specific right is reflected by the introduction of the role of the UN Special Rapporteur in the field of culture in 2009, and other rapporteurs, notably the Special Rapporteur on freedom of expression.
In September 2015, 57 UN Member States reaffirmed the right to freedom of expression including creative and artistic expression through a joint statement.
The following legal instruments do not specifically mention artistic freedom but rather understand it as a pillar of freedom of expression in general related to freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
They aim to guarantee the right to freedom of expression or the right to participate in cultural life without specific reference to the arts.
In this context, governance of culture refers to policies and measures governments establish to promote and to protect all forms of creativity and artistic expressions.
The most recent UNESCO Convention in the field of culture and ratified by 146 Parties, it frames the formulation and implementation of different types of legislative, regulatory, institutional and financial interventions to promote the emergence of diverse cultural and creative industry sectors around the world.
As a result, it aims to ensure participation in cultural life and to support access to diverse cultural expressions (film, music, performing arts, etc.).
In July 2016, France amended its legislation in order to extend it with the legal protection of artistic freedom, architecture and heritage.
Its major objective is to acknowledge artists as individuals and their moral role in society, their contributions towards the intellectual sphere protected by copyright.
According to the Court, freedom of artistic creativity is an element of the respect for freedom of self-expression, one of the core values of the First Amendment.
They represent the liberating gift of the human imagination and give voice to thoughts, ideas, debate and critique, disseminated to a wide audience.
According to Freemuse's 2016 report, the music industry is the main target of serious violations, and second to film in overall violations, including non-violent censorship.
The most serious violations included the murder of Pakistani Qawwali singer Amjad Sabri and the killing of Burundi musician Pascal Treasury Nshimirimana.
Social media and music streaming channels, like Instagram and SoundCloud are becoming the platforms on which artists publicly display and promote their work.
This provides disproportionate power to individuals and organizations who use the platform's reporting processes to get individual artworks removed, and sometimes entire accounts blocked.
In addition, the impact of algorithms on diversity of content is another area of concern: platforms display a plethora of cultural offerings, but also control not only sales but also communication and the recommendation algorithms (e.g.
In conclusion, new digital technologies - while providing a platform for the distribution of artistic content - may interrupt the flow of ideas of artists and curtail their artistic freedom.
Karima Bennoune notes that the increasing number of reported attacks perpetrated by State and non-State actors against cultural professionals reflects the boosting capacity of monitoring artistic freedom.
Alongside other organizations documenting violations against freedom of artistic expression (such as Arterial Network, Artists at Risk Connection, PEN International and the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions), Freemuse is an independent international organization particularly monitoring the freedom of expression of musicians and composers worldwide.
In order to monitor the actions taken to implement the 1980 Recommendation concerning the Status of the Artists, the Secretariat of the 2005 UNESCO Convention (see below) runs a global survey every four years gathering information from Members States, NGOs and INGOs and prepares a report, which is then submitted to the General Conference.
That year, 6 acts earn their first number one song, such as Peabo Bryson, Regina Belle, Snow, Silk, SWV, and Meat Loaf.
Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey were the only acts to hit number one more than once, with each of them hitting twice.
The product sold as black lentil is usually the whole urad bean, whereas the split bean (the interior being white) is called white lentil.
Black gram originated in India, where it has been in cultivation from ancient times and is one of the most highly prized pulses of India and Pakistan.
Black gram has also been introduced to other tropical areas such as the Caribbean, Fiji, Mauritius, and Africa, mainly by Indian immigrants.
Black gram is one of the key ingredients in making idli and dosa batter, in which one part of black gram is mixed with three or four parts of idli rice to make the batter.
Black gram is very nutritious as it contains high levels of protein (25g/100g), potassium (983 mg/100g), calcium (138 mg/100g), iron (7.57 mg/100g), niacin (1.447 mg/100g), Thiamine (0.273 mg/100g), and riboflavin (0.254 mg/100g).
Black gram complements the essential amino acids provided in most cereals and plays an important role in the diets of the people of Nepal and India.
The months of July, August, and part of September were spent at Long Beach Naval Shipyard for the post-shakedown availability assigned each new ship approximately 1 year after commissioning.
She fired 2,100 rounds destroying at least 20 enemy structures and two trench networks; damaging 61 buildings, three bunkers, eight trench networks, and five roads; and killing 24 Viet Cong while wounding seven.
One platform was boarded by U.S. special forces, who recovered teletype messages and other documents, then planted explosives to destroy the platform.
The city of Manaus, Brazil had rapidly expanded since it was declared a tax-free zone by the Brazilian government in 1967.
Eletronorte, the local power utility service, had been unable to keep up with the increasing demand and Manaus experienced frequent blackouts.
CSI had failed to test the ship's equipment fully before departing for Brazil and failed to appreciate how many repairs the ship's 38-year-old power plant might require.
The ship ended up needing weeks of work after its arrival in Brazil before it could begin generating power and numerous repairs after that.
Repairs were much more difficult to accomplish in Brazil because the parts and technicians now had to be brought in from CSI's headquarters back in the United States.
The destroyer reported for duty and was assigned to serve as the flagship of Destroyer Squadron 15, Cruiser-Destroyer Flotilla 7, United States First Fleet.
She returned to San Diego on 6 June to continue her shakedown before proceeding to Puget Sound on 17 September, 1962.
On 5 August, she tested her Tartar missiles in the Okinawa Missile Range before putting into Okinawa (9–12 August), Beppu (22–26), and Iwakuni, Japan (26–26 August).
Buchanan returned to Sasebo (2–3 October) and Yokosuka (9–16 October) before putting into Subic Bay in the Philippines on 21 October.
On 1 November, 1963, members of the Republic of Vietnam military staged a coup against the regime of President Ngo Dinh Diem.
In response, the U.S. Navy deployed a flotilla off the mouth of the Mekong River for the potential evacuation of American citizens and service members.
The coup had ended with assassination of Diệm, his brother Ngȏ Ðình Nhu, and Col. Hồ Tần Quyền, the commander of the Vietnamese navy.
With reassurance from the new leadership under General Dương Văn Minh that order had been restored and alliances unchanged, the Navy reduced its presence off of South Vietnam.
As the situation worsened in Southeast Asia, President Lyndon B. Johnson began increasing the number of American troops in South Vietnam.
In between operations Buchanan visited Yokosuka (28 April–7 May, 18–26 June, and 23–26 July), Hong Kong (9–13 June and 16–19 July), Subic Bay (14 June), and Okinawa (28 June).
In mid-September, the destroyer entered Long Beach for overhaul (16 September–11 November) then spent the rest of the year conducting local operations.
For her time in the South China Sea, Buchanan was awarded Armed Services Expeditionary Forces Medal for supporting air strike operations over Vietnam.
She broke from her combat operations to serve as the flagship of the United States Seventh Fleet during a port visit to Bangkok, Thailand, on 25–29 July, 1966.
Wrapping up combat duty, she put into Hong Kong for a few days' rest (21–26 November) before working her way home via Okinawa (28–29 November), Yokosuka (1–4 December), and Pearl Harbor (15 December).
She put into San Diego on 21 December, 1966 where she remained until shifting to Long Beach Naval Shipyard for overhaul (15 March–5 August, 1967), returning to San Diego for sea trials, refresher training for her crew, and local operations.
The civilian craft claimed that the destroyer was at fault for the collision and that the Navy was culpable for the resulting damages.
Lookouts on the destroyer also indicated in subsequent interviews that there was no one in the fishing boat's wheel house at the time of the collision.
Lt. Victor J. Monteleon was qualified to command the ship while she operated independently but not certified to operate in formation with other ships.
Once Monteleon realized that a collision was imminent, he ordered the conn to right full rudder with all engines ahead at full speed.
He also did not sound a danger signal, an option provided to him in accordance to the rules of the road.
During her deployment, she participated in Operation Sea Dragon (25 October 1966 – 31 October 1968) to disrupt the flow of supplies going from North Vietnam to support communist operations in South Vietnam.
She also provided naval gunfire support (NGFS) to ground troops fighting in South Vietnam, most notably during the first phase of the Tet Offensive and the Battle of Huế (30 January – 3 March, 1968).
Buchanan retired to Subic Bay (9–17 June) for battle damage repairs after another tour providing NGFS to the I Corps Tactical Zone (30 May–7 June).
Her guns supported the men of the 3rd Marine Infantry Regiment and the 173rd Airborne Brigade in the area of Da Nang (16 June–16 July 1969).
She shifted south to the IV Corps region, off the Mekong River delta, to provide gunnery support to the South Vietnamese 9th and 21st Divisions (19 November–1 December, 1970).
They were given slight respites with several visits to Subic Bay, the longest being for upkeep (21 August–1 September, 1–10 October) before returning to combat duty.
She arrived at San Diego on 20 December 1970, giving her crew holiday leave and undergoing upkeep until 25 January 1971.
She operated with , fleet ballistic missile submarine , and submarine (25 January–9 February), making a brief visit to Naval Station Treasure Island, California (26–28 January).
On 30 March, the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) launched the Easter Offensive (30 March–22 October, 1972), sending invading forces to attack multiple locations in South Vietnam.
On the ground, Captain John W. Ripley, USMC, an advisor with the 3rd Vietnam Marine Corps Battalion, coordinated NGFS along with 1st Lt. Joel Eisentein, USMC, commander of Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company 1–2.
The offshore task force provided one hour of sustained fire on two bridges being used by enemy troops to push back allied forces.
My first introduction to your ship was somewhat indirect, in fact at the time I had no way of identifying the ship with which I was working.
Our relationship was established of operational combat necessity, and in very short order was proven to be one of the most successful and rewarding relationships from the standpoint of combat effectiveness in the war--specifically during the continuing enemy Easter Offensive of 1972.
My purpose in writing is to relate to you some background relative to the invasion, the part my battalion played, and the part played by the USS BUCHANAN, during the first few days of the invasion.
Hopefully it will provide a clearer picture to you and your crew of the vital role of NGF as a supporting arm to ground combat forces, and in particular the superlative effectiveness of the BUCHANAN in this role.
On that day the northern and western DMZ fire bases began receiving heavy or indirect fire from enemy artillery along both fire base lines.
The fact that the enemy was able to take almost all of these fire bases under fire either simultaneously or in rapid succession should have been sufficiently significant to indicate that this was more than just a diversion.
We now know that they were employing in excess of a regiment of artillery from fixed, prepared positions - with two additional regiments in reserve.
All of their ordnance had been stockpiled and in such quantities that their rate of fire/target coverage in virtually every attack was staggering.
Within two days of these indirect attacks they initiated standard infantry assaults against these fire bases, always heavily supported by their artillery and other crew served weapons.
The western fire bases, all in heavy jungle and mountainous terrain did not experience any attacks by armor, however, these same terrain limitations removed any hope of resupply to, or evacuation from the fire bases.
On the other hand, the northern fire bases lay along the coastal plain from A-2 (Gio Linh) to A-4 (Con Tien) and the majority of this terrain lent itself to vehicular movement, either limited wheeled vehicular movement or general use of tracked vehicles.
Taking advantage of this terrain the enemy attacks along the northern base line, immediately below the DMZ, were characterized by an almost exclusive use of armor.
With the foregoing as background I will now turn to the events centering around the battalion I advised, the 3rd Vietnamese Infantry Battalion.
When the enemy attack reached us on Easter Sunday morning April 2nd, we were the last unit lying astride the enemy's route of advance, National Route #1 (QL-1).
There was still one more Marine battalion south of us at Quang Tri Combat Base (Ai Tu Base), which was the 6th battalion.
Their mission was the defense of the entire base including the remaining elements of the 3d ARVN Division and that portion of Route #1 which ran through the base.
It would have been virtually impossible for them to successfully defend the road at this point because of their necessarily excessively thin defense and the fact that there was no natural barrier at that point.
The headquarters of the 3d ARVN Division had moved to Quang Tri City so officially there was a Division Command Post behind us.
However, the regiments of this Division were either heavily engaged, had disappeared altogether, or as in the case of the 56th Regiment, were on the point of surrender.
There was so little of the Ist Division remaining other than what was necessary for the defense of those hills that it could not spare as much as one battalion for the defense of Hue.
It is seen then that the hopes of a nation rested on the shoulders of that battalion of Marines along with their support.
I trust this is not too strong a wording of a situation which had quite rapidly gone from grim to hopeless.
The enemy firepower and massive use of armor had blitzed the strong points they had thus far encountered and had taken them to the north bank of Mieu Giang/Cua Viet River at Dong Ha.
The preponderance of force is staggering when one considers that the Marine Battalion defending Dong Ha numbered just 700 men and at the time of the enemy's attack that morning only half of the battalion, two rifle companies, were actually in Dong Ha.
One company went into position along the highway bridge and the other just off of Route #9 near the partially destroyed railroad bridge which was already in enemy hands.
The enemy actually did get across at the railroad bridge site establishing a foothold there, but were contained by the Marines.
I requested a continuous NGF mission in the vicinity of the railroad bridge, 300 meters to the right and left of the bridge, and 200 meters deep (north) as interdiction to the enemy forces attempting to cross.
My request was sent directly to the senior advisor with the VN Marine Brigade then located at Quang Tri Combat Base.
This was to be my primary and most effective method of requesting and employing NGF during our defense of Dong Ha.
Occasionally a spotter aircraft with NGF capability was used, but never as effectively or with as rapid a response as the ANGLICO teams.
This same advisory team with the Brigade worked up a number of defensive fire boxes (targets) north of the river in the general vicinity of the highway and began firing indiscriminate unobserved fire.
None of us could see the impact of the rounds, but as most were landing in this area where the concentration of the enemy forces was the greatest the effect of this varied and continuous mission in disorganizing the enemy must have been superb.
Still the enemy had many tanks and these were generally unaffected by NGF except for a direct hit, although the infantry normally accompanying the tanks were seriously limited in providing any protection to them.
I was personally too busy to adjust the fire and had requested that it be fired in boxes approximately 2000 X 1000 meters with the linear axis generally east to west and that these fires be shifted from bridge to bridge, as well as north of the bridges, randomly.
I needed fire support and needed it badly; I had no direct communication link with you; I didn't even know if you were out there, or even if I was within range; and for your part, you couldn't have known very much about friendly locations.
It almost seems like a compilation of the worst possible factors regarding fire support, except one: you had the support and I needed it.
Nevertheless, one fact is obvious; it contributed greatly to the overall success of our defense and without it, I have serious doubts that this letter would have been possible.
We were watching from a vantage point when the four PT76 tanks were destroyed by your ship on the beach just south of Cua Viet.
We could hear tanks moving on the north bank then soon could see approximately 20 of them moving westerly along what appeared to be route TL-8B.
NGF was requested to interdict the road along its entirety to the maximum range limit which was approximately half way to Cam Lo.
The mission was worked up right away and very shortly thereafter we could both see and hear the effects of the mission.
One tank was actually hit and remained on the road burning, thus illuminating the other tanks as they passed close by.
Our own forces were firing on the tanks that night also, but NGF was first to engage and apparently scored the first kill.
Another area where NGF was used to a very good effect was in the rescue attempts of downed pilots and other aviation personnel.
I fired NGF close enough to his position to remove most of the immediate enemy threat and permit him to move somewhat.
This same type mission was fired on other indiscriminate targets nearby so as to avoid pointing out his location to the enemy.
When I went to work at the bridge, I had to leave my radio and operator back south of the bridge in a covered position.
I had previously requested that the NGF fires then in effect be continued and shifted on the north bank opposite me.
Your fire support and the classic defense of the bridge by the Vietnamese Marines permitted me to get on with my task and successfully complete it.
MY battalion was replaced at Dong Ha by an ARVN Army unit a week later and we returned to Quang Tri Combat Base.
Our operations continued in this area although we were generally out of range of NGF and therefore saw very little use of it.
It was here that I learned that during our week in Dong Ha, I had used over 10,000 rounds of NGF.
I was interviewed by the press a number of times and carefully pointed out on each occasion the role of NGF in the successful defense of Dong Ha.
Of course they were quite aware of the vital necessity of NGF, but at that time neither had talked with someone who had recently been on the receiving end of this outstanding support.
Because of the almost complete loss of artillery assets the only all weather indirect fire supporting arm available was Naval Gunfire.
e.g., destruct, interdiction, etc., as well as special purpose missions (protection of downed pilots), limited only by the initiative of the ship and the observer.
Naval Gunfire was responsive to fire requests in every case and was the only supporting arm which could respond with a volume of fire approaching that of the enemy's.
For other missions Naval Gunfire remained very effective, even when it could not be directly observed or controlled by the observer.
An intermediate agency apart from the observer (ANGLICO team or Advisory team) could control the fire with reasonable effectiveness once the fire mission had been established.
The use of air was severely limited as close air support for two reasons: first, the preponderance of enemy anti-aircraft fire was of such an extent that any ground support mission was considered unacceptably hazardous by the VNAF and secondly, the scale of the enemy attack throughout the country was so large that the availability of friendly air was limited, due to other priorities.
There have been many times in history, of course, when NGF was called on, to provide fire support to ground forces.
I feel that the performance of BUCHANAN at Dong Ha represents one of the finest examples of this support in recent history.
The professional and aggressive fire support delivered by your ship was made more noteworthy because of the urgency of our needs during this defense.
Please pass to all hands of BUCHANAN my deepest appreciation, and on behalf of my counterpart, the Battalion Commander, and the 200 Marines who left Dong Ha a week later, our sincere praise for the exemplary support given us.
Lt. Robert S Nemmers, Supply Corps, SA Vincent G. Guerrero, SD3 Primicitis V. Beltran, EM Frederick J. Shortreed Jr., GM3 Danny K. Hammond, and CS3 Frank S. Musiol were wounded.
Shropshire's wound to one of his feet was severe enough for him to be transferred to guided missile cruiser for further treatment.
On 29 August the destroyer put into Hong Kong (28 August–4 September) for some rest before beginning her long voyage home.
The battle worn destroyer returned to her home port on 25 September, 1972, where she conducted local operations until redeploying to Vietnam on 25 July, 1973.
Continuing her deployment in into 1974, Buchanan visited Singapore (7–11 January), Hong Kong (2–7 February), Kaohsiung (9–10 February), and Yokosuka (15–19 February).
The ship remained in the eastern Pacific for the rest of the year making only two port calls to Santa Barbara, California (28 June – 1 July), for the Santa Barbara Sports Festival, and San Francisco (26–29 September), ending the year with holiday leave (14–31 December, 1974).
During this period, her 127 mm guns and ASROC launchers were removed along with her aging Mark X Identification Friend or Foe, SAMID, and other communications equipment.
That same month, the destroyer got to show off her Tartar missiles system by shooting down two drones, one of which she recorded as a direct hit (26–28 June).
After the long break, she threw lines and headed back to sea to make a port call to Hong Kong (24–28 August 1977).
She also served as a screen ship for Constellation (6–26 September) and provided escort service in the East China Sea (30 September–2 October) and in the northern Sea of Japan (25–27 October).
Despite her busy schedule, Buchanan was afforded some breaks to visit Kaohsiung (27–28 May), Pattaya Beach, Thailand (14–18 July), Fukuoka, Japan (3–6 October 1977).
While in Fukuoka, the ship opened her decks to the public and members of the crew paid a goodwill visit to a local orphanage.
After one last port call at Yokosuka (2–5 November), Buchanan steamed for home, arriving on 21 November and staying in port for the rest of 1977.
On her final day at the Mexican port town (5 November), an estimated 500 bales of cotton caught fire on the waterfront.
The local U.S. Consul and Defense Attaché Office in Mexico City commended the crew for their service to the local community.
On 29 March, she was underway to serve as an observer for the test launch of three UGM-27 Polaris submarine-launched ballistic missiles.
She also made several port visits putting into Hong Kong (19–24 May), Chinae (5–6 June) and Busan, Korea (10–15 June), before mooring at Yokosuka for upkeep and maintenance ( 18 June–5 July, 1979).
On 19 September, 1981, the destroyer set a course for the western Pacific with supply ship , ammunition ship , frigate and destroyer .
When she was in port at Pusan (5–8 December), sailors from Buchanan and Holt delivered food and clothing to a local orphanage as part of Operation Handclasp.
She put into Singapore for a brief rest (20–24 January) before returning to sea for more exercises until 11 March when she steamed toward home.
She returned to Asia again on 2 April, 1983 where she operated in the China and Philippine seas (2 April–31 July).
Wrapping up her deployment, she made her way home to San Diego (9–17 September) where she immediately entered a period of upkeep and giving her crew leave to be with their families.
She put into Hong Kong (5–7 December) and spent the holidays at Subic Bay (18 December 1984 – 12 January, 1985).
Following the victory of the New Zealand Labour Party led by David Lange at elections in 1984, the Parliament of New Zealand enacted a law which barred nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed ships from using New Zealand ports, citing the dangers of nuclear weapons and continued nuclear testing in the South Pacific.
Given that the United States Navy refused to confirm or deny the presence of nuclear weapons aboard ships, these laws in effect refused access to New Zealand ports for all ships of the United States Navy.
In between these visits, she stopped at Bangor, Washington (26–28 July) for upkeep before steaming back to San Diego on 31 July 1986, where she remained for the rest of the year.
During this time she also prepared to be deployed the western Pacific once again but this time with a different destination.
As the Iran–Iraq War raged on, Iran had become a threat to Kuwaiti oil tankers in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.
In response to threat, the U.S. executed Operation Earnest Will to provide protection to the tankers and ensure that commercial shipping lanes remained open.
The battle force put into Subic Bay (10–12 August) and Singapore (16–19 August) before arriving on station in the North Arabian Sea on 25 August.
On 14 November, the destroyer began work her way back to the eastern Pacific stopping at Phuket, Thailand (18–23 November), Penang, Malaysia (24–26 November), Hong Kong (2–6 December), and Subic Bay (9–11 December).
From 1 January until 1 October 1991, she served as a training ship for SEAL Team One and SEAL Team Five to practice boarding operations while she underwent preparations to be decommissioned.
Allocated to be sunk as a target, she remained afloat after being hit by three AGM-114 Hellfire air-to-surface missiles, three Harpoon anti-ship missiles, and a laser-guided bomb in the Pacific Ocean off Hawaii on 13 June, 2000.
His parents worked in a carnival, but they chose to leave after a riot broke out and tents were set on fire.
I remember this one guy we knew, he was telling us where to go, and some guy just ran up to him and hit him in the face with a hammer – just busted his face wide open.
The song was nominated in the category of Best Metal Performance at the 39th Annual Grammy Awards, though lost to Rage Against the Machine.
For the album, Zombie worked with numerous artists, including Charlie Clouser of Nine Inch Nails fame and former White Zombie bandmate John Tempesta.
The album was influenced by classic horror films, with numerous songs on the album containing samples and quotes from some of Zombie's favorite horror films.
The label released the final album from American instrumental band The Bomboras, as well as the debut album from the Ghastly Ones.
Zombie designed a haunted attraction for Universal Studios in 1999, which was later deemed instrumental in reviving the Halloween Horror Nights annual attraction.
The project began filming in May 2000 with a scheduled release date of the following year, though the studio ultimately cancelled its release due to the violent themes present throughout the film.
The album expands on the horror and shock rock elements seen in his debut album, and features collaborations with artists such as Ozzy Osbourne.
The album became his second to enter the top ten in the United States, with its first week sales topping that of his previous album.
The album is the final project to feature guitarist Mike Riggs and drummer John Tempesta, who had been with Zombie since the start of his solo career.
The release featured a collection of songs taken from Zombie's solo albums as well as his releases with White Zombie; new material is also present on the album.
The album became his first studio album as a solo artist to not receive a certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Zombie opted to focus on his career as a director in 2007, following the release of his third studio album a year prior.
The film received a worse critical reception than Zombie's original remake and failed to achieve the commercial success of the remake, but was a box office success nevertheless.
The film was released in limited showings at selected theaters on September 12, 2009, and to DVD on September 22, 2009.
Prior to the release of the album, it was confirmed that Zombie had parted ways with longtime label Geffen Records, penning a new deal with Roadrunner Records.
The album sold 49,000 copies in its first week of release, becoming his fourth top ten album in the United States.
Zombie promoted the release through his Hellbilly Deluxe 2 World Tour, which served as his first international tour since beginning his solo career.
The film, whose name is derived from the Rob Zombie song of the same name, is about a coven of witches in modern-day Salem, Massachusetts.
The tour concluded following a publicized feud between the artists while on tour, with the two groups often feuding while on stage.
Zombie parted ways with Roadrunner Records, instead releasing the album through his new record label Zodiac Swan through Universal Music Enterprises and T-Boy Records.
Zombie announced work on his sixth studio album as early as April 2014, having begun working on the project that January.
The limited edition item features ten of Zombie's classic songs, as well as voice contributions from Zombie, Sheri Moon, and Sid Haig.
Zombie's music has been noted for its use of horror and suspense elements, which is inspired by Zombie's love of horror films.
It was almost like you were doing something but you feel like nobody cares anymore so now you’re just chuggin’ along doing what you do and it's like the world had forgotten.
Metallica, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Slayer, Ministry, Pantera, Sepultura, Black Flag and Twisted Sister were also cited as influences by Zombie.
Zombie has directed the majority of his music videos as a solo artist, with numerous releases being influenced or referencing horror films.
It always ends in broken noses...because it upsets people to question their faith in things be it Jesus or George Bush.
An additional exception to discussing his religious background occurred in a separate interview when Zombie mentioned that at one point his mother contemplated becoming a nun.
Glia, also called glial cells or neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system that do not produce electrical impulses.
In the central nervous system, glial cells include oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, and microglia, and in the peripheral nervous system glial cells include Schwann cells and satellite cells.
They have four main functions: (1) to surround neurons and hold them in place; (2) to supply nutrients and oxygen to neurons; (3) to insulate one neuron from another; (4) to destroy pathogens and remove dead neurons.
However glial cells have far more cellular diversity and functions than neurons, and glial cells can respond to and manipulate neurotransmission in many ways.
They are derived from the earliest wave of mononuclear cells that originate in yolk sac blood islands early in development, and colonize the brain shortly after the neural precursors begin to differentiate.
In a healthy brain, microglia direct the immune response to brain damage and play an important role in the inflammation that accompanies the damage.
Tanycytes in the median eminence of the hypothalamus are a type of ependymal cell that descend from radial glia and line the base of the third ventricle.
The glia to neuron-ratio in the cerebral cortex is 3.72 (60.84 billion glia (72%); 16.34 billion neurons), while that of the cerebellum is only 0.23 (16.04 billion glia; 69.03 billion neurons).
The total number of glia cells in the human brain is distributed into the different types with oligodendrocytes being the most frequent (45–75%), followed by astrocytes (19–40%) and microglia (about 10% or less).
In the adult, microglia are largely a self-renewing population and are distinct from macrophages and monocytes, which infiltrate an injured and diseased CNS.
The view is based on the general inability of the mature nervous system to replace neurons after an injury, such as a stroke or trauma, where very often there is a substantial proliferation of glia, or gliosis, near or at the site of damage.
During early embryogenesis, glial cells direct the migration of neurons and produce molecules that modify the growth of axons and dendrites.
Glial cells known as astrocytes enlarge and proliferate to form a scar and produce inhibitory molecules that inhibit regrowth of a damaged or severed axon.
These cells envelop nerve fibers of the PNS by winding repeatedly around a nerve fiber with the nucleus inside of it.
This process creates a myelin sheath, which not only aids in conductivity but also assists in the regeneration of damaged fibers.
Oligodendrocytes are found in the CNS and resemble an octopus: they have bulbous cell bodies with up to fifteen arm-like processes.
They have several crucial functions, including clearance of neurotransmitters from within the synaptic cleft, which aids in distinguishing between separate action potentials and prevents toxic build-up of certain neurotransmitters such as glutamate, which would otherwise lead to excitotoxicity.
While glial cells in the PNS frequently assist in regeneration of lost neural functioning, loss of neurons in the CNS does not result in a similar reaction from neuroglia.
In addition to impacting the potential repair of neurons in Alzheimer's disease, scarring and inflammation from glial cells have been further implicated in the degeneration of neurons caused by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
In addition to neurodegenerative diseases, a wide range of harmful exposure, such as hypoxia, or physical trauma, can lead to the end result of physical damage to the CNS.
Then, there is a large amount of microglial activity, which results in inflammation, and finally, there is a heavy release of growth inhibiting molecules.
Glia were first described in 1856 by the pathologist Rudolf Virchow in a comment to his 1846 publication on connective tissue.
When markers for different types of cells were analyzed, Albert Einstein's brain was discovered to contain significantly more glia than normal brains in the left angular gyrus, an area thought to be responsible for mathematical processing and language.
These important scientific findings may begin to shift the neuron-specific perspective into a more holistic view of the brain which encompasses the glial cells as well.
Recent publications have proposed that the number of glial cells in the brain is correlated with the intelligence of a species.
She was named for Major General Randolph C. Berkeley, USMC (1875–1960), a Medal of Honor recipient for actions during the U.S. occupation of Veracruz (1914).
She was laid down by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation at Camden in New Jersey on 1 June 1960, launched on 29 July 1961 sponsored by Mrs. James B. Berkeley, Major General Berkeley’s daughter-in-law; and commissioned on 15 December 1962 at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, Commander Wyatt E. Harper in command.
In early May, the guided-missile destroyer demonstrated her capabilities to President John F. Kennedy, knocking down two jet drone targets with two TARTAR missiles.
At the end of the repair period, she became a unit of Destroyer Division (DesDiv) 12 and spent the rest of the year engaged in local operations in the Long Beach area.
After calling at Pearl Harbor, where the aircraft carrier joined company, the task group steamed to the East China Sea for a month of training.
After rejoining her task group in late April, the guided missile destroyer spent the next two months screening the carriers and and participating in a SEATO landing exercise in the Philippines.
This quickly changed, however, when the warships received orders diverting them to the South China Sea where they joined other Navy units off the South Vietnamese coast and in the Gulf of Tonkin.
As part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's effort to limit North Vietnamese attacks on Laos and South Vietnam, the carrier launched Vought F-8 Crusader aircraft to reconnoiter suspected communist infiltration routes in eastern and southern Laos.
On 2 August, she provided anti-air protection to the task group during air strikes against North Vietnamese missile boats during the Tonkin Gulf incident.
After American warships reported more attacks on 4 August, the guided missile destroyer again screened the carrier during extensive retaliatory strikes on North Vietnamese gunboats and torpedo boats on 5 August.
The warship joined the aircraft carrier while there and sailed for home on 10 October, mooring at Long Beach, via Yokosuka, Japan, on 21 November.
This pattern of activity—combat service in Vietnamese waters followed by repairs and training to prepare for her next deployment—characterized her service for the next ten years.
This naval air campaign, begun the previous March, sought to cut the flow of munitions and supplies to the Viet Cong insurgents in the south by interdicting North Vietnam's logistics pipelines through Laos and across the demilitarized zone (DMZ).
Following minor repairs at Sasebo in early February, and a port visit to Hong Kong, the guided missile destroyer returned to the Gulf of Tonkin for a second SAR tour on 26 February.
Before they arrived, a United States Air Force HU-16 Albatross amphibian—which had landed to pick up the two Phantom crewmen—was taken under fire by North Vietnamese shore batteries.
After completing this mission on 8 April, she steamed to Subic Bay, where the crew began preparing the warship for visits to Australia and New Zealand.
Underway for home on 22 May, the guided missile destroyer stopped at Suva in the Fiji Islands and at Pearl Harbor before arriving at Long Beach on 6 June.
Following the removal of test equipment in mid-December, the guided missile destroyer spent the rest of the month getting ready for upcoming fleet exercises.
During this period, her engineers and technicians busied themselves maintaining and improving the warship's complex electronic and fire-control systems, a task abetted by a three-week tender availability in early February.
Underway for the western Pacific on 29 April, the guided-missile destroyer crossed the central Pacific; and, after a short liberty period at Yokosuka, Japan, the warship headed south to Subic Bay, arriving there on 24 May.
The task unit cruised off North Vietnam near Hon Me and Hon Matt Islands, searching for enemy waterborne logistics craft and firing on designated targets ashore.
Detached 10 days later, she sailed north to the Tonkin Gulf SAR station where she monitored daily strikes over North Vietnam.
The guided-missile destroyer carried out local operations through April 1968 before moving into Long Beach Naval Shipyard for a maintenance overhaul.
After fuel stops at Pearl Harbor, Midway, and Guam—as well as a diversion south to avoid a typhoon near the Philippines—the warship arrived at Subic Bay on 28 July.
Her best hunting took place on the night of 10 and 11 September, when she and the destroyer combined to sink or damage 58 enemy supply boats.
Departing the area on 1 December, she stopped at Guam and Pearl Harbor before mooring at Long Beach on 20 December.
Aside from a few periods of underway training, which included her annual missile-firing exercises in late February, the warship spent the first three months of 1969 preparing for an extensive overhaul.
The warship also tested her new Standard missile system in September before turning to preparations for another Far East deployment which took up the remainder of the year.
Departing Long Beach on 13 February, the guided-missile destroyer made fuel stops at Pearl Harbor, Midway, and Guam before arriving at Yokosuka on 4 March.
The remainder of the year was dedicated to type training and upkeep in preparation for another western Pacific deployment in early 1971.
During this tour, the guided missile destroyer's crew welcomed on board three Vietnamese midshipmen and provided them with six weeks of underway training.
Fitted out with specialized reconnaissance equipment, the warship steamed to the Sea of Japan on 10 June for service as Pacific Area Reconnaissance Program (PARPRO) picket ship.
Heading south on 18 July, the warship passed through the Strait of Malacca and moored at Penang, Malaysia, for a port visit on 23 July.
Assigned to a naval gunfire support mission, the warship cruised off Cua Viet for the next three weeks in support of friendly forces near the demilitarized zone (DMZ).
After a brief stop at Subic Bay, the guided-missile destroyer retraced her path across the Pacific and arrived in Long Beach on 16 September.
On 20 March 1972, the warship steamed to the Pacific Missile Range for three days of weapons systems exercises—including an ASW drill with the submarine —and, later that month, the warship conducted gunnery drills in the southern California operating area.
These evolutions proved timely when, on 7 April, the warship received word to get ready for an emergency deployment to Vietnam.
After a brief upkeep period at Subic Bay in mid-July, the guided missile destroyer moved to the gunline and fired daily missions against enemy targets near the DMZ.
Following a short yard period at Sasebo late in August, the warship conducted a final five-week gunfire support tour off North Vietnam.
After a long holiday and post-deployment standdown period, the guided-missile destroyer's crew began preparations for a complex overhaul scheduled for early January 1973.
The overhaul gave the guided missile destroyer the new tactical data system, a sonar upgrade, new communications and electronic warfare gear, and two new 5-inch gun mounts.
Departing Bremerton on 4 January 1974, the warship sailed south to her new home port of San Diego, arriving there on the 18th after a brief stay at Long Beach.
With the end of American participation in the Vietnam war following the previous year's cease-fire agreement, the Navy concentrated on improving overall operational readiness, a routine markedly different from earlier training which had focused on preparing warships for combat duty off Vietnam.
The guided-missile destroyer finally got underway to deploy on 19 June, steaming across the Pacific and arriving in Subic Bay on 10 July.
Departing Subic Bay on 27 October, she conducted a four-day port visit to Singapore, before getting underway for the Indian Ocean on 8 November.
The task group then sailed into the Persian Gulf for another week of exercises before returning to Singapore on 6 December.
After an upkeep period there, the guided-missile destroyer sailed for home, via Subic Bay, and arrived in San Diego on 28 January 1975.
Finally repaired in early March, she got underway on 12 March and, after a fuel stop at Guam, moored at Subic Bay on 1 April.
Following stops at Guam—where she received 10 days of tender availability—and at Pearl Harbor, the warship returned to San Diego on 6 September.
Entering the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard on 6 June, the warship received new turbo-generators, a satellite communications system, and upgrades to her tactical data system.
Underway for sea trials the following day, the warship finally sailed home to San Diego on 13 June, arriving there on the 23d, after stops at Seal Beach and Long Beach.
After passing a combat systems readiness test in May, the warship then prepared for her first overseas deployment in almost two years.
On 22 October, following the assassination of South Korean President Park Chung Hee, the task group took up a position south of the peninsula.
On 21 November, the warships received orders to proceed west in response to the takeover of the American embassy in Tehran, Iran.
Arriving in the Indian Ocean on 5 December, the task group sailed to the Arabian Sea and took up a position south of the Iranian coast.
Later that spring, the warship conducted several gunfire and missile-firing exercises before beginning a restricted availability at Long Beach on 5 May.
The guided missile destroyer then spent the rest of the year conducting engineering tests and working out her new combat systems in air and surface gunnery and missile shoots.
While en route to Subic Bay in early April, she conducted both antisubmarine and antiair warfare exercises, an underway routine that became the pattern for this deployment.
Departing on 13 May, the group sailed into the Indian Ocean for six weeks of antiair and surface warfare exercises before putting into Geraldton, Australia, for a week-long port visit in mid-July.
Arriving in San Diego on 21 September, the warship spent the next six months engaged in local operations and preparing for a regular overhaul.
This routine was only broken by a call at San Francisco in late January 1982 and four-day visit to Mazatlan, Mexico, starting on 20 February.
Underway for sea trials on 18 March, the guided-missile destroyer carried out a series of evaluations, local operations, and refresher training over the summer and fall in preparation for her next deployment.
With the establishment of the United States Central Command (CentCom) the previous year—partly in response to the outbreak of the Iran–Iraq War in 1980—Navy warships began patrolling the Arabian Sea in support of CentCom's mission to protect American security interests in the Middle East.
After another tender availability at Diego Garcia during the second week of June, the warship sailed for home on 15 June.
En route, she stopped at Fremantle, Australia; Subic Bay, Philippines; and Pearl Harbor in Hawaii before arriving in San Diego on 1 August.
The warship then operated locally that spring until entering the Long Beach Naval Shipyard on 3 May 1985 for repairs to her sonar dome.
In a change of pace from her usual route, the guided missile destroyer followed a great circle route through the northern Pacific and the Bering Sea before arriving at Pusan, South Korea, on 1 September.
Arriving there on 3 January 1987, the warship conducted an ASW exercise in the Sea of Japan in early January before heading for home on 12 January.
This included various weapons and supply inspections, equipment alterations in the shipyard—including more repairs to her sonar dome that summer—and training ashore for crew members.
In company with the battleship and TG 70.1, the warship took the great circle route to South Korea, arriving at Pusan on 24 July.
The group participated in surface warfare exercises with the South Korean Navy before heading south to Subic Bay on 5 August.
As part of Australia's bicentennial celebration, the guided missile destroyer spent the next five weeks visiting ports on Australia's northern and eastern coasts.
Starting with a visit to Cairns from 4 to 8 September, she moved on to stops at Townsville, Mackay, and Gladstone before putting into Sydney on 26 August for a week-long naval celebration with over 60 warships from 16 countries.
Following a tender availability, the guided-missile destroyer spent the first nine months of 1989 conducting local training operations, standing combat systems' inspections, and undergoing a phased maintenance availability at the Continental Marine Shipyard between 17 April and 5 July.
During most of October, she carried out antiair, surface, and subsurface warfare exercises off the coasts of Korea and Japan, including four SEAL team insertions, before putting into Hong Kong on 31 October.
On 30 November, in response to a coup attempt against the Aquino government in Manila, the warship put to sea with the Enterprise battle group for contingency operations.
Next, the group operated in the northern Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf—keeping an eye on the still-tense ceasefire between Iran and Iraq—until putting into Muscat, Oman, for a port visit on 20 January.
She participated in exercises with the Royal Thai Navy on 3 February and, after a five-day visit to Phuket, Thailand, steamed into Subic Bay on the 18 February.
During these missions, which were intended to help interdict drug smuggling, the warship used surface-search radars and other equipment to spot small craft, which were then boarded by Coast Guard detachments.
Returning to San Diego on 8 April for maintenance, the guided-missile destroyer then set out on a two-week Coast Guard law enforcement patrol on the 26th.
The warship returned to San Diego three days later and, over the next six weeks, conducted two midshipmen training cruises and another law enforcement patrol.
Returning to San Diego on 25 October, the warship carried out a succession of engineering drills in the southern California operating area through November.
In light of the defense budget cutbacks following the end of the Cold War, the Navy made its 1990 decision to retire 54 ships.
It is classified as least concern on the IUCN Red List as it has a wide range and a large stable population size, and is thought to be increasing in some regions.
The European badger is a powerfully built black, white, brown and grey animal with a small head, a stocky body, small black eyes and short tail.
Its weight varies, being 7–13 kg (15–29 lb) in spring but building up to 15–17 kg (33–37 lb) in autumn before the winter sleep period.
It is nocturnal and is a social, burrowing animal that sleeps during the day in one of several setts in its territorial range.
Badgers are very fussy over the cleanliness of their burrow, carrying in fresh bedding and removing soiled material, and they defecate in latrines strategically situated outside their setts.
Although classified as a carnivore, the European badger feeds on a wide variety of plant and animal foods, feeding on earthworms, large insects, small mammals, carrion, cereals and tubers.
The European badger has been known to share its burrow with other species such as rabbits, red foxes and raccoon dogs, but it can be ferocious when provoked, a trait which has been exploited in the now illegal blood sport of badger-baiting.
The modern species originated during the early Middle Pleistocene, with fossil sites occurring in Episcopia, Grombasek, Süssenborn, Hundsheim, Erpfingen, Koneprusy, Mosbach 2, and Stránská Skála.
A comparison between fossil and living specimens shows a marked progressive adaptation to omnivory, namely in the increase in the molars' surface areas and the modification of the carnassials.
Boars typically have broader heads, thicker necks and narrower tails than sows, which are sleeker, have narrower, less domed heads and fluffier tails.
European badgers cannot flex their backs as martens, polecats and wolverines can, nor can they stand fully erect like honey badgers, though they can move quickly at full gallop.
The average weight of adults in Białowieża Forest, Poland were in spring but weighed up to in autumn, 46% higher than their spring low mass.
In Doñana National Park, average weight of adult badgers is reported as , perhaps in accordance with Bergmann's rule, that its size decreases in relatively warmer climates closer to the equator.
The heaviest verified was , though unverified specimens have been reported to and even (if so, the heaviest weight for any terrestrial mustelid).
Although their sense of smell is acute, their eyesight is monochromatic as has been shown by their lack of reaction to red lanterns.
Adults have prominent sagittal crests which can reach 15 mm tall in old males, and are more strongly developed than those of honey badgers.
Their jaws are powerful enough to crush most bones; a provoked badger was once reported as biting down on a man's wrist so severely that his hand had to be amputated.
In winter, the fur on the back and flanks is long and coarse, consisting of bristly guard hairs with a sparse, soft undercoat.
Two black bands pass along the head, starting from the upper lip and passing upwards to the whole base of the ears.
White markings occur on the lower part of the head, and extend backwards to a great part of the neck's length.
The summer fur is much coarser, shorter and sparser, and is deeper in colour, with the black tones becoming brownish, sometimes with yellowish tinges.
Erythristic badgers are more common than the former, being characterized by having a sandy-red colour on the usually black parts of the body.
European badgers are the most social of badgers, forming groups of six adults on average, though larger associations of up to 23 individuals have been recorded.
Under optimal conditions, badger territories can be as small as 30 ha, but may be as large as 150 ha in marginal areas.
A hierarchical social system is thought to exist among badgers and large powerful boars seem to assert dominance over smaller males.
Boars tend to mark their territories more actively than sows, with their territorial activity increasing during the mating season in early spring.
When fighting, they bite each other on the neck and rump, while running and chasing each other and injuries incurred in such fights can be severe and sometimes fatal.
Estrus in European badgers lasts four to six days and may occur throughout the year, though there is a peak in spring.
Sexual maturity in boars is usually attained at the age of twelve to fifteen months but this can range from nine months to two years.
They can mate at any time of the year, though the main peak occurs in February–May, when mature sows are in postpartal estrus and young animals experience their first estrus.
Matings occurring outside this period typically occur in sows which either failed to mate earlier in the year or matured slowly.
Badgers are usually monogamous; boars typically mate with one female for life, whereas sows have been known to mate with more than one male.
Mating lasts for fifteen to sixty minutes, though the pair may briefly copulate for a minute or two when the sow is not in estrus.
A delay of two to nine months precedes the fertilized eggs implanting into the wall of the uterus, though matings in December can result in immediate implantation.
They emerge from their setts at eight weeks of age, and begin to be weaned at twelve weeks, though they may still suckle until they are four to five months old.
In areas with medium to high badger populations, dispersal from the natal group is uncommon, though badgers may temporarily visit other colonies.
The chambers are frequently lined with bedding, brought in on dry nights, which consists of grass, bracken, straw, leaves and moss.
Spring cleaning is connected with the birth of cubs, and may occur several times during the summer to prevent parasite levels building up.
Badgers defecate in latrines, which are located near the sett and at strategic locations on territorial boundaries or near places with abundant food supplies.
In Russia, badgers retire for their winter sleep from late October to mid-November and emerge from their setts in March and early April.
In areas such as England and Transcaucasia, where winters are less harsh, badgers either forgo winter sleep entirely or spend long periods underground, emerging in mild spells.
In Europe its range includes Albania, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Crete, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Ukraine.
The distributional boundary between the ranges of European and Asian badgers is the Volga River, the European species being situated on the western bank.
European badgers are among the least carnivorous members of the Carnivora; they are highly adaptable and opportunistic omnivores, whose diet encompasses a wide range of animals and plants.
Earthworms are their most important food source, followed by large insects, carrion, cereals, fruit and small mammals including rabbits, mice, shrews, moles and hedgehogs.
Occasionally, they feed on medium to large birds, amphibians, small reptiles, including tortoises, snails, slugs, fungi, and green food such as clover and grass, particularly in winter and during droughts.
Generally, they do not eat more than of food per day, with young specimens yet to attain one year of age eating more than adults.
Some rogue badgers may kill lambs , though this is very rare; they may be erroneously implicated in lamb killings through the presence of discarded wool and bones near their setts, though foxes, which occasionally live alongside badgers, are often the culprits, as badgers do not transport food to their earths.
In the rare instances in which badgers do kill reared birds, the killings usually occur in February–March, when food is scarce due to harsh weather and increases in badger populations.
Badgers can easily breach bee hives with their jaws, and are mostly indifferent to bee stings, even when set upon by swarms.
The two species possibly tolerate each other out of commensalism; foxes provide badgers with food scraps, while badgers maintain the shared burrow's cleanliness.
There are many known cases of badgers and raccoon dogs wintering in the same hole, possibly because badgers enter hibernation two weeks earlier than the latter, and leave two weeks later.
However, in some areas of intensive agriculture it has reduced in numbers due to loss of habitat and in others it is hunted as a pest.
It was detected in the United Kingdom in 1971 where it was linked to an outbreak of bovine TB in cows.
The evidence appears to indicate that the badger is the primary reservoir of infection for cattle in the south west of England, Wales and Ireland.
Since then there has been considerable controversy as to whether culling badgers will effectively reduce or eliminate bovine TB in cattle.
Badgers are vulnerable to the mustelid herpesvirus-1, as well as rabies and canine distemper, though the latter two are absent in Great Britain.
They spend much time grooming, individuals concentrating on their own ventral areas, alternating one side with the other, while social grooming occurs with one individual grooming another on its dorsal surface.
In Irish mythology, badgers are portrayed as shape-shifters and kinsmen to Tadg, the king of Tara and foster father of Cormac mac Airt.
In German folklore, the badger is portrayed as a cautious, peace-loving Philistine, who loves more than anything his home, family and comfort, though he can become aggressive if surprised.
He is a cousin of Reynard the Fox, whom he uselessly tries to convince to return to the path of righteousness.
As a friend of Toad's now-deceased father, he is often firm and serious with Toad, but at the same time generally patient and well-meaning towards him.
He is shown kidnapping the children of Benjamin Bunny and his wife Flopsy, and hiding them in an oven at the home of Mr. Tod the fox, whom he fights at the end of the book.
The portrayal of the badger as a filthy animal which appropriates fox dens was criticized from a naturalistic viewpoint, though the inconsistencies are few and employed to create individual characters rather than evoke an archetypical fox and badger.
An unnamed badger is part of Bosnian writer Petar Kočić's satirical play Badger on Tribunal in which local farmer David Štrbac attempts to sue a badger for eating his crops.
Methods used for hunting badgers include catching them in jaw traps, ambushing them at their setts with guns, smoking them out of their earths and through the use of specially bred dogs such as Fox Terriers and Dachshunds to dig them out.
Badgers are, however, notoriously durable animals; their skins are thick, loose and covered in long hair which acts as protection, and their heavily ossified skulls allow them to shrug off most blunt traumas, as well as shotgun pellets.
In the UK, this was outlawed by the Cruelty to Animals Act of 1835 and again by the Protection of Animals Act of 1911.
Moreover, the cruelty towards and death of the badger constitute offences under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992, and further offences under this act are inevitably committed to facilitate badger-baiting (such as interfering with a sett, or the taking or the very possession of a badger for purposes other than nursing an injured animal to health).
If convicted, badger-baiters may face a sentence of up to six months in jail, a fine of up to £5,000, and other punitive measures, such as community service or a ban from owning dogs.
Until the 1980s, badger culling in the United Kingdom was undertaken in the form of gassing, to control the spread of bovine tuberculosis (bTB).
Limited culling resumed in 1998 as part of a 10-year randomized trial cull which was considered by John Krebs and others to show that culling was ineffective.
Some groups called for a selective cull, while others favoured a programme of vaccination, and vets support the cull on compassionate grounds as they say that the illness causes much suffering in badgers.
In 2012, the government authorized a limited cull led by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), however, this was later deferred with a wide range of reasons given.
In August 2013, a full culling programme began where about 5,000 badgers were killed over six weeks in West Somerset and Gloucestershire by marksmen with high-velocity rifles using a mixture of controlled shooting and free shooting (some badgers were be trapped in cages first).
They are easily fed, as they are not fussy eaters, and will instinctively unearth rats, moles and young rabbits without training, though they do have a weakness for pork.
Although there is one record of a tame badger befriending a fox, they generally do not tolerate the presence of cats and dogs, and will chase them.
They form a bag or pocket made from a pelt and a badger or other animal's mask may be used as a flap.
The vessel was launched on 9 December 1961 by Mrs. Lawrence Haines Coburn, granddaughter of Admiral Joseph Strauss and commissioned on 20 April 1963.
She arrived at Long Beach Naval Shipyard on 13 July 1963 for alterations, followed by tactics out of San Diego north to Seattle, Washington.
She was briefly flagship of the 7th Fleet from 22–26 March during the official visit of Vice Admiral Paul B. Blackburn, Jr., to Bangkok, Thailand.
Her ensuing 27 days as flagship of the SAR/AAW picket unit were highly successful, establishing operational procedures and capabilities which remain destroyer standards.
The following day she took a disabled Nationalist Chinese fishing boat in tow and delivered it safely to Keelung on 23 July, thence sailed to Yokosuka, arriving 25 July for upkeep.
On 28 October 1965, she fired her first shots in anger, expending 217 5-inch shells in support of a combined ARVN-Marine Corps search-and-destroy operation against the Viet Cong.
The battle, the largest for American surface forces since World War II, sank two Iranian warships and it also marked the first surface-to-surface missile engagement in U.S. Navy history.
In human anatomy, they arise from the common carotid arteries where these bifurcate into the internal and external carotid arteries at cervical vertebral level 3 or 4; the internal carotid artery supplies the brain including eyes, while the external carotid nourishes other portions of the head, such as face, scalp, skull, and meninges.
However, in clinical settings, the classification system of the internal carotid artery usually follows the 1996 recommendations by Bouthillier, describing seven anatomical segments of the internal carotid artery, each with a corresponding alphanumeric identifier—C1 cervical, C2 petrous, C3 lacerum, C4 cavernous, C5 clinoid, C6 ophthalmic, and C7 communicating.
An alternative embryologic classification system proposed by and colleagues is invaluable when it comes to explanation of many internal carotid artery variants.
The internal carotid artery is a terminal branch of the common carotid artery; it arises around the level of the fourth cervical vertebra when the common carotid bifurcates into this artery and its more superficial counterpart, the external carotid artery.
The cervical segment, or C1, or cervical part of the internal carotid, extends from the carotid bifurcation until it enters the carotid canal in the skull anterior to the jugular foramen.
Higher up, it is separated from the external carotid by the styloglossus and stylopharyngeus muscles, the tip of the styloid process and the stylohyoid ligament, the glossopharyngeal nerve and the pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve.
It is in relation, behind, with the longus capitis, the superior cervical ganglion of the sympathetic trunk, and the superior laryngeal nerve; laterally, with the internal jugular vein and vagus nerve, the nerve lying on a plane posterior to the artery; medially, with the pharynx, superior laryngeal nerve, and ascending pharyngeal artery.
At the base of the skull the glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory, and hypoglossal nerves lie between the artery and the internal jugular vein.
The petrous segment, or C2, of the internal carotid is that which is inside the petrous part of the temporal bone.
When the internal carotid artery enters the canal in the petrous portion of the temporal bone, it first ascends a short distance and then curves anteriorly and medially.
The artery lies at first in front of the cochlea and tympanic cavity; from the latter cavity it is separated by a thin, bony lamella, which is cribriform in the young subject, and often partly absorbed in old age.
Farther forward it is separated from the trigeminal ganglion by a thin plate of bone, which forms the floor of the fossa for the ganglion and the roof of the horizontal portion of the canal.
Frequently this bony plate is more or less deficient, and then the ganglion is separated from the artery by fibrous membrane.
The artery is separated from the bony wall of the carotid canal by a prolongation of dura mater, and is surrounded by a number of small veins and by filaments of the carotid plexus, derived from the ascending branch of the superior cervical ganglion of the sympathetic trunk.
The lacerum segment, or C3, is a short segment that begins above the foramen lacerum and ends at the petrolingual ligament, a reflection of periosteum between the lingula and petrous apex (or petrosal process) of the sphenoid bone.
This at best has only ever been a partial truth in that it passes through the superior part of the foramen on its way to the cavernous sinus.
The cavernous segment, or C4, of the internal carotid artery begins at the petrolingual ligament and extends to the proximal dural ring, which is formed by the medial and inferior periosteum of the anterior clinoid process.
In this part of its course, the artery is situated between the layers of the dura mater forming the cavernous sinus, but covered by the lining membrane of the sinus.
It at first ascends toward the posterior clinoid process, then passes forward by the side of the body of the sphenoid bone, again curves upward on the medial side of the anterior clinoid process, and perforates the dura mater forming the roof of the sinus.
This portion of the artery is surrounded by filaments of the sympathetic trunk and on its lateral side is the abducent nerve, or cranial nerve VI.
The ophthalmic segment, or C6, extends from the distal dural ring, which is continuous with the falx cerebri, to the origin of the posterior communicating artery.
The communicating segment, or terminal segment, or C7, of the internal carotid artery passes between the optic and oculomotor nerves to the anterior perforated substance at the medial extremity of the lateral cerebral fissure.
The internal carotid artery can receive blood flow via an important collateral pathway supplying the brain, the cerebral arterial circle, which is more commonly known as the Circle of Willis.
The internal carotid nerve arises from the superior cervical ganglion, and forms this plexus, which follows the internal carotid into the skull.
The Société de télédiffusion du Québec (; ), branded as Télé-Québec (), is a Canadian French language public educational television network in the province of Quebec.
The network's main studios and general offices are located in Montreal, at the corner of Saint Catherine and Fullum Streets in Downtown Montreal.
Télé-Québec is equivalent to Ontario's TVOntario and TFO, and British Columbia's Knowledge Network, and similar to the American PBS network and its affiliated state networks, in that it is somewhat modest in scope, runs mostly educational or cultural programming, and does not try to compete with privately owned television networks or with the Ici Radio-Canada Télé network owned and operated by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
All programming on Télé-Québec is in French, although there are a few shows and movies that are presented in the original language (predominantly English), with French subtitles.
It also had a 25% stake in the French-Canadian arts specialty channel, ARTV, which it sold to the CBC in 2010.
On April 20, 1945, the Legislative Assembly of Quebec, under the mandate of Premier Maurice Duplessis, passed a law allowing Quebec to create and run a public broadcasting network, as a provincial counterpart to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Radio-Québec began broadcasting on its own in 1972 as a cable channel, which broadcast evenings on community channels in Montréal and Quebec City, then expanded in 1973 to Hull, Gatineau and Sherbrooke.
The network of over-the-air transmitters was launched on January 19, 1975 with the sign-ons of CIVM-TV in Montreal and CIVQ-TV in Quebec City, making its programming available to an even wider audience.
In its early days after the terrestrial network began, Radio-Québec would provide week-delay videotapes of its programming line-up to cable systems in communities not served by a Radio-Québec station.
Some Radio-Québec programs were also seen on most Radio-Canada stations, not only in Quebec, but throughout Canada as well; this arrangement continued into the 1980s.
In 1977, Radio-Québec opened its third station, CIVO-TV in Hull, serving the greater Ottawa area—the station was built after acquiring the licence and facilities of a failed TVA affiliate, CFVO-TV.
Also that year, the CRTC granted Radio-Québec permission to show commercials during some of its programming, initially for a two-year trial run.
As a result, over 150 staffers were laid off (out of over 750 people employed), with plans for further layoffs to trim the employee count to 300 staffers.
The monetary shortfall was short-lived, as, by 1997, Télé-Québec resumed productions on its own and increased its amount of original programming.
is a book show that covers books of all genres and for all audiences; in 2005–2006, 260 books were presented, 124 of which were by Quebec authors.
Télé-Québec also hosts debate and discussion-oriented shows that allow for an exchange of ideas and perspectives on social and political issues.
In 1985, Radio-Québec and TVOntario signed an exchange arrangement, in which English-language TVO programming would be seen on Radio-Québec, and Radio-Québec's French-language programming would be seen on TVO.
In 2018, Vincent Brousseau-Pouliot's English Language Arts Network (ELAN) filed an intervention to CRTC licence renewals for the service, seeking that Télé-Québec be required to devote 20% of its programming and budget to programs of interest to anglophone, indigenous, and other visible minority communities of Quebec.
ELAN stated that this was intended to reflect the diversity of the province's population, arguing that they were served well by news programming, but underserved by cultural programming of interest.
It signed on over the air on channel 27 (PSIP 17.1) from Olympic Stadium in Montreal in January 2009, making CIVM-DT the first educational television station in Canada to broadcast digitally.
A digital terrestrial television transmitter requested and authorized for construction in Quebec City for CIVQ-TV did not sign on until August 2010, weeks before the September 25, 2010 deadline to sign on or file an extension.
Télé-Québec intended on converting all of its transmitters to digital by the digital transition deadline of August 31, 2011, including its transmitters that are not required to transition by this deadline.
On terrestrial cable, however, it is generally seen only in Quebec and in communities in Ontario and New Brunswick which are within the broadcast range of a Télé-Québec transmitter.
Télé-Québec (and its predecessor, Radio-Québec) was also assigned channel 2 in Rivière-du-Loup, channel 10 in Lithium Mines and channel 21 in Mont-Laurier.
As of 2009, service has yet to begin in these communities; in addition, it had later lost its channel 2 slot at Rivière-du-Loup, after that channel was reallocated to Quebec City (CFAP-TV) and Rimouski (CJBR-TV).
It is also unknown if the Lithium Mines transmitter was replaced by, or provided secondary service of, CIVA-TV, the Télé-Québec outlet serving nearby Val-d'Or.
Renée Lynn Fleming (born February 14, 1959) is an American soprano, known for performances in opera, concerts, recordings, theater, film, and at major public occasions.
She has performed coloratura, lyric, and lighter spinto soprano operatic roles in Italian, German, French, Czech, and Russian, aside from her native English.
A National Medal of Arts, Richard Tucker Award, and Fulbright Lifetime Achievement Medal winner, she regularly performs in opera houses and concert halls worldwide.
In 2010, she took the title of 'Creative Consultant' to the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the first person to hold such a title with the company.
A daughter of two music teachers, Fleming was born on February 14, 1959, in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Churchville, New York.
In 1990 she was once again honored by the Richard Tucker Music Foundation but this time with the highly coveted Richard Tucker Award.
A highlight of 1996 was her signing of an exclusive recording contract with the London/Decca label, making her the first American singer in 31 years to do so, the last having been Marilyn Horne.
She also sang in several concerts in the United Kingdom with Bryn Terfel and gave the most extensive recital tour of her career, singing in dozens of recitals with accompanist Jean-Yves Thibaudet throughout the United States, Europe, Australia, and Asia.
Recitals were given in Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, and the United States and performed in several concerts with Elton John at Radio City Music Hall.
Several recitals and concerts throughout the United States, Italy, Russia, Sweden and Austria took place, the latter being a celebration of Mozart's 250th Birthday with the Vienna Philharmonic which was broadcast live internationally.
Additionally, Fleming appeared at numerous music festivals, including the Salzburg Festival and the Lincoln Center Festival and she gave recitals throughout Southeast Asia, Germany, and Switzerland.
She sang Violetta at Covent Garden and Rusalka at the Metropolitan Opera, the Marschallin at the Baden-Baden Festival, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées and the Metropolitan Opera.
In the same interview, Fleming explained her increasing preference for performing in concerts, rather than opera productions, and said, having learned more than 50 operas, that she is unlikely to learn many more.
In 2019 she began playing the role of Margaret Johnson in the London, Los Angeles and Chicago productions of The Light in the Piazza alongside Brian Stokes Mitchell and rising stars Rob Houchen and Solea Pfeiffer.
On September 3, 2011, Fleming married tax lawyer Tim Jessell, whom she met on a blind date set up by author Ann Patchett.
Fleming provided the singing voice of Roxann Coss, the American opera diva played by Julianne Moore, in the 2018 film Bel Canto (film).
On June 4, 2012, she performed at the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Concert in front of and on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
It also built up what was then the largest audience in the history of American television, until it was eclipsed by NBC's airing of Super Bowl XLIX the following year.
The Nizamiyyah (from , ) are a group of the medieval institutions of higher education established by Khwaja Nizam al-Mulk in the eleventh century in Iran.
Founded at the beginning of the Seljuk Empire, these Sunni Islam theological schools are considered to be the model of later madrasahs, or Islamic religious schools.
Some scholars have suggested that the establishment of the Nizamiyya madrasas was in fact an attempt to thwart the growing influence of another group of Muslims, the Ismailis, in the region.
The most famous and celebrated of all the nizamiyyah schools was Al-Nizamiyya of Baghdad (established 1065), where Khwaja Nizam al-Mulk appointed the distinguished philosopher and theologian, al-Ghazali, as a professor.
According to several books, he was assassinated by a member of Hashshashin, a group of the Ismaili sect of Shi'a Islam.
According to Mughatil ibn Bakri, a staff member of the Al-Nizamiyya of Baghdad, he alleges that Nizam al-Mulk converted to Shia Islam after a Sunni-Shia debate held on the orders of Sultan Malik Shah I, who also converted to Shia'ism.
The curriculum initially focused on religious studies, Islamic law, Arabic literature, and arithmetic, and later extended to history, mathematics, the physical sciences, and music.
The origin of the term is uncertain, but it may be derived from Harvard University's Cruft Laboratory (built in 1915 as a gift from a donor named Harriet Otis Cruft), which was the Harvard Physics Department's radar lab during World War II.
The FreeBSD handbook uses the term to refer to leftover or superseded object code that accumulates in a folder or directory when software is recompiled and new executables and data files produced.
The word is also used to describe instances of unnecessary, leftover or just poorly written source code in a computer program that is then uselessly, or even harmfully, compiled into object code.
Cruft accumulation may result in technical debt, which can subsequently make adding new features or modifying existing features—even to improve performance—more difficult and time-consuming.
Cruft may also refer to unused and out-of-date computer paraphernalia, collected through upgrading, inheritance, or simple acquisition, both deliberate and through circumstance.
This accumulated hardware, however, often has benefit when IT systems administrators, technicians, and the like have need for critical replacement parts.
An unused machine or component similar to a production unit could allow near-immediate restoration of the failed unit, as opposed to waiting for a shipped replacement.
However the International was formed as many countries were entering periods of extreme repression, and many of the largest IWA unions were shattered during that period.
As a result, by the end of World War II all but one of the International's branches had ceased to function as unions, a slump which continued throughout the 1940s and 1950s.
The IWA programme promotes a form of non-hierarchical unionism which seeks to unite workers to fight for economic and political advances towards the final aim of libertarian communism.
This federation is designed to both contest immediate industrial relations issues such as pay, working conditions and labor law, and pursue the reorganization of society into a global system of economic communes and administrative groups based within a system of federated free councils at local, regional, national and global levels.
This reorganization would form the underlying structure of a self-managed society based on pre-planning and mutual aid—the establishment of anarchist communism.
The IWA rejects all political and national frontiers; it calls for radical changes to the means of production to lessen humanity's environmental impact.
From an early stage, the IWA has taken an anti-militarist stance, reflecting the overwhelming anarchist attitude since the First World War that the working class should not engage with the power struggles between ruling classes - and certainly should not die for them.
It included a commitment to anti-militarism in its core principles and in 1926 it founded an International Anti-Militarist Coalition to promote disarmament and gather information on war production.
It is stressed that this should occur through the formation of a democratic popular militia rather than through a traditional military hierarchy.
The IWA admits organizations which are in full agreement with its Aims and Principles in countries where there is not already an affiliated group in existence, requiring them to pay affiliation fees to help maintain the IWA's structure.
Member groups are then able to participate in and benefit from the global community the IWA provides and can vote in its highest decision-making event, the International Congress, which is currently held once every two years.
Proposals are submitted at national level at least six months before congress, to allow other national groups to consult and mandate members to vote.
The sample flowchart on the right shows the relationship of the individual to the organization within Britain and Ireland IWA affiliate the Solidarity Federation.
If an individual wishes to change the organization's policies, they must win agreement from their Local to formally place the idea before Federal Conference, which in turn, if other Locals agree, may place the idea before the IWA as a whole for a decision.
While federal officers are mandated by the Federal Conference, they have no influence over policymaking other than through their own Locals.
Instead, unpaid volunteer positions are created to deal with administrative issues, and individuals are restricted to carrying out these activities within a mandate decided directly by their peers and subject to instant recall.
Beyond the collective agreements of the IWA itself, all decision-making takes place within base units (such as Locals) organized by geography or trade, as most applicable (where industrial organizing is not possible due to low density, geographical units are the norm).
Administration of the IWA's functions is carried out by the Secretariat consisting of at least three people living in the country nominated by the International to take on the role.
The IWA also elects a Secretary General, who acts as a liaison and representative for the International but again, does not wield any direct powers over policy.
The early ideology of revolutionary syndicalism from which the IWA derives was formed during the International Workingmen's Association (IWMA), also known as the First International.
The First International aimed at uniting a variety of different left-wing socialist, communist and anarchist political groups and Labor union that were based on the working class and class struggle.
The earlier International however was not able to withstand the differences between anarchist and Marxist currents, with the anarchists largely withdrawing after the Hague Congress of 1872 which saw the expulsion of leading libertarians Mikhail Bakunin and James Guillaume over their criticism of Karl Marx's party-political approach to social change.
This split prompted several attempts to start specifically anarchist Internationals, notably the Anarchist St. Imier International (1872-1881) and the Black International (1881–87).
However heavy repression in France of the Paris Commune, as well as in Spain and Italy, alongside the rise of propaganda of the deed within the anarchist movement and a dominant strand of social-democracy on the wider left wing in Europe, meant that serious moves to establish an anarcho-syndicalist international would not begin until the early 20th century.
The 1900s saw a major leap forward for the labor movement with the adoption of a new method of organizing, industrial unionism and in 1913 there was an international syndicalist congress held in London which aimed at building stronger ties between the existing syndicalist unions and propaganda groups.
The burgeoning movement was to be snuffed out within a year as Europe was plunged into World War I and communications between the syndicalists became impossible.
For many in this new revolutionary wave, Russia seemed to offer a successful alternative to social democratic reformism, so when in 1919 the Bolshevik Party issued an appeal for all workers to join it in building a new Red International it was met with great interest.
Almost all of the syndicalist unions attended the 1920 congress of the Bolsheviks’ international of communists, the Comintern, which unions in France and Italy joined immediately.
In contrast, attempts to organize a conference of anarchists in February 1919 in Copenhagen had seen only the Scandinavians able to attend.
Skepticism was initially expressed by Germany's influential Free Workers' Union of Germany (FAUD) towards the Bolsheviks' concept of an international of trade unions, known as the Profintern.
At the Profintern's formal launch in July 1921, these fears proved well founded with the passing of a resolution subordinating the Profintern to the Comintern and thus tying the priorities of all member unions to those of the Russian state.
While initially the syndicalist organizations present, including the largest unions from Spain (CNT), Italy (USI), Argentina (FORA), Germany (FAUD) and the USA (IWW) agreed to join on condition that organizational independence would be maintained, relations soured over the course of the year.
By 1922 relations had broken down completely and the Profintern was decisively condemned at a conference of syndicalist unions in Berlin on June 16–18, after a Russian delegate repeatedly refused calls to press for the release of independent and anarchist trade unionists from Lenin's prisons.
Delegations from France, Germany, Norway and Spain resolving to establish a bureau to prepare the ground for the founding of a new international, rejecting parliamentarianism, militarism, nationalism and centralism.
The final formation of this new international, then known as the International Workingmen's Association, took place at an illegal conference in Berlin in December 1922, marking an irrevocable break between the international syndicalist movement and the Bolsheviks.
The single largest anarcho-syndicalist union at the time, the CNT in Spain, were unable to attend when their delegates were arrested on the way to the conference - though they did join the following year, bringing 600,000 members into the international.
The first secretaries of the International included the famed writer and activist Rudolph Rocker, along with Augustin Souchy and Alexander Schapiro.
Later, a bloc of unions in the USA, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala, Cuba, Costa Rica and El Salvador also shared the IWA's statutes.
The biggest syndicalist union in the USA, the IWW, considered joining but eventually ruled out affiliation in 1936, citing the IWA's policies on religious and political affiliation.
Many of the largest members of the IWA were broken, driven underground or wiped out in the 1920s-30s as powers hostile to them came to power in states across Europe and workers switched away from anarchism towards the seeming success of the Bolshevik model of socialism.
In Argentina, the FORA had already begun a process of decline by the time it joined the IWA, having split in 1915 into pro and anti-Bolshevik factions.
From 1922, the anarchist movement there lost most of its membership, exacerbated by further splits, most notably around the Severino Di Giovanni affair.
Its last national congress in Erfurt in March 1932 saw the union attempt to form an underground bureau to combat Hitler's national socialists, a measure which was never put into practice as mass arrests decimated the conspirators' ranks.
There were also mass trials of FAUD members held in Wuppertal and Rhenanie, many of those convicted never survived the death camps.
Italian IWA union the USI, which had claimed a membership of up to 600,000 people in 1922, was warning even at that time of murders and repression from Benito Mussolini's blackshirts.
It had been driven underground by 1924 and although it was still able to lead significant strikes by miners, metalworkers and marble workers, Mussolini's ascent to power in 1925 sealed its fate.
Portugal's CGT was driven underground after an unsuccessful attempt to break the newly installed President of Portugal, Gomes da Costa, with a general strike in 1927 which led to nearly 100 deaths.
It survived underground with 15-20,000 members until January 1934, when it called a general revolutionary strike against plans to replace trade unions with corporations, which failed.
It was able to continue in a much reduced state until World War II but was effectively finished as a fighting union.
Massive government repression repeated such defeats around the world, as anarcho-syndicalist unions were destroyed in Peru, Brazil, Columbia, Japan, Cuba, Bulgaria, Paraguay and Bolivia.
But perhaps the greatest blow was struck in the Spanish Civil War which saw the CNT, then claiming a membership of 1.58 million, driven underground with the defeat of the Spanish Second Republic by the Nationalists.
The sixth IWA congress took place in 1936, shortly after the Spanish Revolution had begun, but was unable to provide serious material support for the section.
The IWA held its last pre-war congress in Paris in 1938, with months to go before the start of the Second World War it received an application from ZZZ, a syndicalist union in the country claiming up to 130,000 workers – ZZZ members went on to form a core part of the resistance against the Nazis, and participated in the Warsaw uprising.
During the war, only one member of the IWA was able to continue to function as a revolutionary union, the SAC in Sweden.
After Hitler’s defeat, much of the Spanish CNT's active membership, now operating informally in Francoist Spain, remained split with some in exile in France and Britain, the rest driven underground.
In Sweden, the SAC retained a presence while in every other country previously active members of the International had to start over.
At the seventh congress in Toulouse in 1951 a much smaller IWA was relaunched, again without the CNT, which would not be strong enough to reclaim membership until 1958 as an exiled and underground organization.
Delegates attended, though mostly representing very small groups, from Cuba, Argentina, Spain, Sweden, France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Denmark, Norway, Britain, Bulgaria and Portugal.
But the situation remained difficult for the International, as it struggled to deal with the rise of state-sanctioned economic trade unionism in the West, heavy secret service intervention as Cold War anti-communism reached its height and the banning of all strikes and free trade unions in the Soviet Union bloc of countries.
At the tenth congress in 1958, the SAC’s response to these pressures led it into a clash with the rest of the international.
It withdrew from the IWA following its failure to amend the body’s statutes to allow it to stand in municipal elections and amid concerns over its integration with the state over distribution of unemployment benefits.
In 1976, at the 15th congress, the IWA had only five member groups, two of which (the Spanish and Bulgarian members) were still operating in exile (though following Franco's death in 1975, the CNT was already approaching a membership of 200,000).
The IWA’s 1980 congress showed much improvement, reaching ten sections and benefiting from the reorganization of the CNT, which was able to send delegates from Spain (as opposed to exiles) for the first time since the 1930s.
Reformed sections in Italy (USI) and Norway (NSF), along with others from the UK (Direct Action Movement), USA (Workers Solidarity Alliance), Germany (Free Workers' Union, FAU) and Australia Anarcho-Syndicalist Federation, were among those who joined.
All existing groups reported growth and by 1984 at its 17th congress the International could boast three unions as members, CNT of Spain, CNT of France and USI of Italy.
Further growth was recorded in the 1990s, although the Workers Solidarity Alliance along with the Japanese and Australian sections ceased to be members.
On 3 September 2009, six members of the Serbian IWA section (ASI-MUR), including then-IWA General Secretary Ratibor Trivunac, were arrested on suspicion of international terrorism, a charge which was heavily disputed by the international and other anarchist groups.
Shortly after their arrest, an open letter was circulated by Serbian academics criticizing the charges and the attitude of Serbian police.
The six were formally indicted on December 7 and after a lengthy trial procedure Trivunac, along with 5 other anarchists, was freed on February 17, 2010.
On 10 December 2009, the management of the Babylon cinema in Berlin tried to ban the Free Workers' Union (FAU) from calling itself a union.
The International's Norwegian section subsequently took on the Secretariat role in 2010, and Poland took the role on at the XXV annual congress in 2013.
As part of the anti-austerity movement in Europe, various IWA sections were highly active in the 2008-2012 period, with the CNT taking a leading role in agitating for the general strikes which have occurred in Spain, the USI in Milan taking on anti-austerity campaigns in the health service.
Regular syndical activity goes on in countries such as Spain, Poland and Italy, and recent campaigns and work conflicts have taken place in places such as UK, Australia, Brazil and France.
Despite this, after the XXV Congress, members of FAU decided to develop another direction and push for a new international network.
Following decisions made at the CNT Spain Congress and the USI Congress to join this direction and to suspend dues in the IWA, those organizations were disaffiliated at the XXVI Congress in 2016.
In 2018,the former IWA members met with other groups in Parma, Italy, to establish a new international organization, the International Confederation of Labor (Confederación Internacional del Trabajo).
Affiliated organisations include CNT (Spain), USI (Italy), FAU (Germany), the North American Regional Administration of the IWW, ESE (Greece), FORA (Argentina) and IP (Poland).
The issue of the reintegration of the reconstructed Spanish section was on the agenda of an Extraordinary Congress of the IWA in 2017, where the Section in Spain was recognized as the continuation of the CNT-IWA.
Friends of the IWA are regarded as fellow travelers politically but have not formally joined and do not have voting rights at Congress.
In the West, the devotional has been a part of the liturgy in Roman Catholicism, the Greek Orthodox Church, the Russian Orthodox Church, and others, since their earliest days.
It was spelled Quebecor in both English and French until May 2012, when shareholders voted to add the acute accent, Québecor, in French only.
Current members of the board of directors of Quebecor Inc. are: Françoise Bertrand, Jean La Couture, Sylvie Lalande, Pierre Laurin, A. Michel Lavigne, Geneviève Marcon, Brian Mulroney, and Normand Provost.
The term may also refer to international bilateral or multilateral meetings on state-level, like the convention of the Anglo-Russian Entente (1907).
Article V of the United States Constitution also makes provisions for electing national conventions to propose constitutional amendments, and/or state conventions to ratify them.
The meeting was organized by the Sons of Liberty, who, in challenging incumbent governor Thomas Fitch, nominated William Pitkin for governor and Jonathan Trumbull for deputy governor.
After the war, he was a railroad regulator and executive, an author of historical works, and a member of the Massachusetts Park Commission.
John Quincy Adams II, father of Charles Francis Adams III; historian Henry Brooks Adams; Arthur Adams, who died young during their childhood; Mary Adams, who married Henry Parker Quincy, of Dedham, MA; and historian Peter Chardon Brooks Adams, of Beverly Farms, MA.
When the regiment's 3-years enlistment ended it was reduced to a battalion; and Adams was mustered out of service on September 1, 1864.
He was promoted to colonel and assumed command of the regiment on March 14, 1865, shortly before the end of the war.
Adams, who wished to lead his regiment in combat, was able to get horses for his regiment and had it reassigned to front line duty during the closing days of the campaign against Richmond.
Adams wrote in his autobiography that he regretted having his unit reassigned since he came to the conclusion that the regiment's black soldiers were ill-suited for combat duty.
Adams was a Veteran Companion of the Massachusetts Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS).
He saw regulation as necessary to protect investors and other businessmen from the capriciousness of a hostile public or the machinations of other unscrupulous stock jobbers.
He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1871, and was elected a member of the American Antiquarian Society in 1891.
As railroad president, he was successful in getting a good press for the UP, and set up libraries along the route to allow his employees to better themselves.
Adams was unable to stanch the worsening financial condition of the UP, and in 1890 the railroad's owner Jay Gould forced his resignation.
From 1893 to 1895, he was chairman of the Massachusetts Park Commission, and as such took a prominent part in planning the present park system of the state.
In 1900, he wrote a letter to the President of the Massachusetts Single Tax League, declaring himself a supporter of the reform Henry George had proposed, which would later be known as Georgism.
After 1874, he devoted much of his time to the study of American history, and in recognition of his work in this field was chosen president of the Massachusetts Historical Society in 1895, and of the American Historical Association in 1901.
The White Earth River is a tributary of the Missouri River, approximately 50 mi (80 km) long, in northwestern North Dakota in the United States.
Human Factor XII is 596 amino acids long and consists of two chains, the heavy chain (353 residues) and light chain (243 residues) held together by a disulfide bond.
Its heavy chain contains two fibronectin-type domains (type I and II), two epidermal growth factor-like domains, a kringle domain, and a proline-rich region, and its light chain contains the protease domain.
Contact to polyphosphates activates factor XII and initiates fibrin formation by the intrinsic pathway of coagulation with critical importance for thrombus formation.
Addition of polyphosphates restored defective plasma clotting of Hermansky–Pudlak syndrome patients, indicating that the inorganic polymer is the endogenous factor XII activator in vivo.
Platelet polyphosphate-driven factor XII activation provides the link from primary hemostasis (formation of a platelet plug) to secondary hemostasis (fibrin meshwork formation).
The protein seems to be involved in the later stages of clot formation rather than the first occlusion of damages in the blood vessel wall.
All of this, including the mechanism of inheritance, also holds true for the other contact factors, prekallikrein (Fletcher factor) and high molecular weight kininogen.
Excess levels of factor XII can predispose individuals towards greater risk of venous thrombosis due to factor XII's role as one of the catalysts for conversion of plasminogen to its active fibrinolytic form of plasmin.
Hageman factor was first discovered in 1955 when a routine preoperative blood sample of the 37-year-old railroad brakeman John Hageman (1918) was found to have prolonged clotting time in test tubes, even though he had no hemorrhagic symptoms.
Ratnoff later found that the Hageman factor deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder, after examining several related people who had the deficiency.
The Jackson–Vanik amendment to the Trade Act of 1974 is a 1974 provision in United States federal law intended to affect U.S. trade relations with countries with non-market economies (originally, countries of the Communist bloc) that restrict freedom of emigration and other human rights.
The Trade Act of 1974 passed both houses of the United States Congress unanimously, and President Gerald Ford signed the bill into law with the adopted amendment on January 3, 1975.
Over time, a number of countries were granted conditional normal trade relations subject to annual review, and a number of countries were liberated from the amendment.
In December 2012, the Magnitsky Act, which repeals the application of the Jackson–Vanik amendment to the Russian Federation, was signed into law by President Obama.
From 1972 to January 1975, Congress debated and added the Jackson-Vanik Amendment to the 1974 Trade Reform Act, which restricted the President's ability to provide most favored nation (MFN) status to the Soviet Union and other non-market economies that formed the Soviet bloc.
The timing and provisions of the amendment reflected the presidential ambitions and distrust of the Soviet Union of Senator Henry Jackson (D-WA).
After the Soviet Union allowed a number of Soviet Jews to emigrate in the years after the 1967 June War in the Middle East, expectations of freer emigration were raised, but they were soon shattered as the 1972 Soviet emigration head tax made emigration very difficult.
This Soviet edict levied an additional exit tax on educated emigrants, which appeared to have the effect of singling out Jews most heavily.
The education tax, imposed after the 1972 Moscow summit of superpower leaders Richard Nixon and Leonid Brezhnev, emboldened those who criticized the Nixon administration's policy of Detente for downplaying concerns for human rights.
Nixon's handling of the issue of Soviet Jewish emigration and US National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger's reluctance to broach the subject disappointed US Jewish activists.
The Soviets announced the abolishing of the tax just before the introduction of the amendment in Congress, arguably in an attempt to prevent it.
At first, Jackson organized the political movement to link trade and emigration in America's relations with the Soviet Union in concert with Jewish activists, but he soon took matters into his own hands.
Jackson drafted what would become the Jackson–Vanik amendment in the summer of 1972 and introduced it to the Ninety-second Congress on October 4, 1972.
Jackson's efforts, rooted in his own domestic political calculations and ideological distrust of and antipathy toward the Soviet Union, complicated the Nixon White House's pursuit of Detente, which it had worked on since 1969.
While there was some opposition, the American Jewish establishment on the whole and Soviet Jewry activists (particularly the Washington Committee for Soviet Jewry and the National Conference on Soviet Jewry) supported the amendment over Nixon's and Kissinger's objections.
In 1973 Rep. Charles Vanik, chair of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade, introduced in the House of Representatives the legislation written with Jackson.
Labor, ethnic groups originally from Eastern European and Baltic States, human rights organizations and liberal intellectuals were the most significant additions to organized labor and Jewish activists.
Once the Nixon administration began to appreciate the threat Jackson presented to Detente and its policy of trade with the Soviet Union, it made a number of attempts to thwart Jackson.
The administration tried to keep the amendment out of the committee version of the bill during the House Ways and Means Committee's markup sessions.
When it became clear that this was impossible, delay was the administration's next option, along with the threat of a veto.
Soviet involvement in the conflict may have stoked distrust of the USSR by some members of Congress, but there were other members who feared that pressure on the Nixon Administration to advance the goals of the Jackson–Vanik amendment complicated the emergency supply of American military weapons to Israel.
Israel prevailed in the Yom Kippur War, and by December 11 the House of Representatives voted by an overwhelming 319-80 tally to include the entire Jackson–Vanik amendment in the trade bill, which passed 272-140.
On January 21, 1974, the second session of the Ninety-third United States Congress began, and the Jackson amendment entered the Senate.
The prominent individuals involved were Jackson, Kissinger, and Soviet Ambassador to the U.S. Anatoly Dobrynin, a skilled senior diplomat who had served in Washington for decades.
In March 1974, Kissinger returned from Moscow with news that the Soviets were willing to cooperate with the members of Congress.
The outline of an agreement was perceivable, but by summer the talks seemed to bog down as Watergate sapped the Executive Branch's political energy.
In August 1974, when the national deadlock was broken by Nixon's resignation and Ford's appointment, Jackson had to decide whether or not to concur with an agreement that was not perfect or hold out longer and possibly sink the entire trade bill.
Given the choice of having the bill with the Jackson amendment or doing away with both the bill and the Jackson amendment together, Kissinger was apparently willing to let the two die.
So to compromise, Jackson had agreed to grant, at least temporarily, trade concessions, including extensions of credit, to the Soviet Union.
Jackson was anxious to achieve a legislative victory after years of battle and apparently decided it best not to ask too many more questions nor press too hard for less ambiguous pledges lest he be left with nothing to show for his efforts.
On January 10, the Soviet government sent a letter that apparently indicated the Soviets' refusal to comply with the need to provide assurances on emigration or to make technical changes in the 1972 Trade agreement.
Harry Stone, vice president and his brother, Irving Stone, president of American Greetings based in Vanick's home turf, Cleveland, Ohio, played a major role in gaining sponsorship for this amendment.
Fulbright, apparently saw the same light as Mills, as American Greetings opened one of its largest printing plants in Fulbright's and Mills's state of Arkansas.
The difficulty faced by Senator Jackson in the three-way negotiation process that took place from August 1974 through January 1975, demonstrated some of the institutional constraints on congressional involvement in foreign policy making.
It exemplifies the fact that one cannot understand U.S. foreign policy if one does not understand the domestic politics in Congress and the White House that shape policy decisions.
The amendment denies most favored nation status to certain countries with non-market economies that restrict emigration, which is considered a human right.
Permanent normal trade relations can be extended to a country subject to the law only if the President determines that it complies with the freedom of emigration requirements of the amendment.
However, the President has the authority to grant a yearly waiver to the provisions of Jackson-Vanik, and these waivers were granted to the People's Republic of China starting in the late 1970s and in later decades, to Vietnam and Laos.
The countries subject to the amendment included the Soviet Union (and later the post-Soviet states), the People's Republic of China, Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Bulgaria, Mongolia, Albania, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.
Of Soviet Bloc countries, Poland was exempt from the amendment, but from 1982 to 1987 its unconditional MFN status was suspended due to its actions against Solidarność.
Yugoslavia was also exempt; however, in 1991–1992, due to violent events in the former Yugoslavia, the MFN status of Serbia and Montenegro was suspended.
However, in the late 1980s Mikhail Gorbachev agreed to comply with the protocols of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Some argue that it helped bring the plight of Soviet Jews to the world's attention, while others believe it hindered emigration and decreased America's diplomatic bargaining power.
Since 1975 more than 500,000 refugees, large numbers of whom were Jews, evangelical Christians, and Catholics from the former Soviet Union, have been resettled in the United States.
Other ethnic groups subsequently demanded the right to emigrate, and the ruling Communist Party had to face the fact that there was widespread dissatisfaction with its governance.
Enacted on November 21, 1989, the Lautenberg Amendment, Public Law 101-167, took effect in 1990 which provided refugee status in the United States for nationals from the Soviet Union and later the former Soviet Union, Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania who are Jews, Evangelical Christians, Ukrainian Catholics or Ukrainian Orthodox; as well as nationals of Vietnam, Laos, or Cambodia; and Jews, Christians, Baha’is and other religious minorities from Iran.
The Lautenberg measure allowed refugee status to people from historically persecuted groups without requiring them to show that they had been singled out.
Under the Lautenberg Amendment, 350,000 to 400,000 Jews from the former Soviet Union which had not presented any form of evidence of persecution gained entry to the United States by October 2002 according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
In 1997 it was found to be fully compliant with the Jackson-Vanik provisions, but its status remained subject to annual review.
On November 16, 2012 the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would repeal the Jackson–Vanik amendment for Russia and Moldova.
After approval by the Senate, the law repealing the effects of the Jackson–Vanik amendment on Russia and Moldova was signed by President Barack Obama on December 14, 2012.
In 2003, Vladimir Putin pursued an economic agenda for Russia to begin normalized trade relations with the West which included Russia joining the European Union and the repeal of the Jackson-Vannik amendment.
Putin tried to use his relationships with both the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who was the head of the European Union's Council in 2003, to gain Russia's membership in the European Union, and also Hank Greenberg, who was the chairman and CEO of the American International Group (AIG), to repeal the Jackson-Vannik provisions in the United States.
On November 16, 2012 the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would repeal the Jackson–Vanik amendment for Russia and Moldova.
After approval by the Senate, the law repealing the effects of the Jackson–Vanik amendment on Russia and Moldova was signed together with Magnitsky bill by President Barack Obama on December 14, 2012.
On March 8, 2006, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill permanently exempting Ukraine from trade restrictions imposed under the 1974 Jackson–Vanik amendment.
Until the accession of the PRC to the World Trade Organization in December 2001 the PRC was covered by the provisions of Jackson-Vanik.
Although the President of the United States, starting in the late 1970s, used the waiver provisions of the amendment to grant normal trade relations trade status, the existence of the amendment meant that there was a congressional effort to overturn this waiver each year, creating a yearly controversy especially during the 1990s after the Tiananmen protests of 1989.
Congress specifically removed the PRC from coverage by Jackson-Vanik in the late 1990s as part of its entry into the World Trade Organization, as the provisions of Jackson-Vanik were inconsistent with WTO rules.
In April 2011, American University in Moscow professor Eduard Lozansky and former Reagan administration official Antony Salvia filed a federal lawsuit in Washington, D.C. against the Obama administration arguing the law is illegal.
The liqueur is sold in an oblong glass decanter designed by a craftsman from Murano and does not contain any almonds or other nuts.
Disaronno can be served straight up as a cordial, on the rocks, or as part of a cocktail mixed with other alcoholic beverages, Coca-Cola, ginger ale, or fruit juice.
Gregory Nagy (, ; born Budapest, October 22, 1942) is an American professor of Classics at Harvard University, specializing in Homer and archaic Greek poetry.
He is the Francis Jones Professor of Classical Greek Literature and Professor of Comparative Literature at Harvard, and continues to teach half-time at the Harvard campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
In 2013 Harvard offered his popular class, The Ancient Greek Hero, which thousands of Harvard students had taken over the last few decades, through edX as a massive open online course.
Nagy and his wife, Olga Davidson, Research Fellow, Institute for the Study of Muslim Societies and Civilizations, Boston University and chair of the Ilex Foundation, served as Faculty Deans (previously called co-masters) of Currier House at Harvard from 1986 to 1990.
Nagy has two brothers in allied fields: Blaise Nagy is a professor emeritus of Classics at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, while Joseph F. Nagy is the Henry L. Shattuck Professor of Irish Studies in the Department of Celtic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University.
The map shows Glubdubdrib to be southwest of the port of Maldonada on the southwest coast of Luggnagg, while the text states the island is southwest of Balnibarbi, and Maldonada to be a port of that land.
He has a 'noble' palace, and a park of about three thousand acres, surrounded by a wall of hewn stone twenty foot high.
On visiting Glubbdubdrib, Gulliver had the occasion, thanks to the power of their necromancers, to speak with Brutus of ancient Rome, whom Gulliver greatly admired, among many other famous historical personages, including Socrates.
Gulliver spends five days doing this, then three days looking at some of the 'modern' dead, trying to find the greatest figure in the past 200 or 300 years in his country and others in Europe.
The origins of the name have been traced as far back as the Old Testament and variations of the name have been adopted by a variety of cultures and languages.
There are numerous modern variations such as Gaspar (Catalan, Portuguese and Spanish), Gaspare (Italian), Gaspard (French), Kaspar (German, Dutch), Kašpar (Czech), Casper (English), Caspar (Dutch), Kacper/Kasper (Polish), Kasperi (Finnish), Kasper (Danish, Swedish), Gáspár (Hungarian), Гаспар (Russian) and Kaspars (Latvian).
By the 6th century, the name Gaspar was recorded in mosaic at the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna, Italy as one of the traditional names assigned by folklore to the anonymous Magi mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew account of the Nativity of Jesus.
The basic names Gaspar, and its variants Caspar and Kaspar, along with Melchior and Balthazar or Balthasar, the other two saints, wisemen, and kings depicted in the above basilica became family names and spread throughout Europe.
This, and other changes in English pronunciation, took place between 1200 AD and 1600 AD and are now known as the Great Vowel Shift.
Vitamin B deficiency anemia, of which pernicious anemia is a type, is a disease in which not enough red blood cells are produced due to a deficiency of vitamin B.
Other symptoms may include shortness of breath, pale skin, chest pain, numbness in the hands and feet, poor balance, a smooth red tongue, poor reflexes, depression and confusion.
Lack of intrinsic factor is most commonly due to an autoimmune attack on the cells that create it in the stomach.
Other causes of low vitamin B include not enough dietary intake (which can be a risk in a vegan diet), celiac disease, or tapeworm infection.
Blood tests may show fewer but larger red blood cells, low numbers of young red blood cells, low levels of vitamin B, and antibodies to intrinsic factor.
Symptoms may consist of the triad of tingling or other skin sensations (paresthesia), tongue soreness (glossitis), and fatigue and general weakness.
It presents with a number of further common symptoms, including depressive mood, low-grade fevers, diarrhea, dyspepsia, weight loss, neuropathic pain, jaundice, sores at the corner of the mouth (angular cheilitis), a look of exhaustion with pale and dehydrated or cracked lips and dark circles around the eyes, as well as brittle nails, and thinning and early greying of the hair.
Because PA may affect the nervous system, symptoms may also include difficulty in proprioception, memory changes, mild cognitive impairment (including difficulty concentrating and sluggish responses, colloquially referred to as brain fog), and even psychoses, impaired urination, loss of sensation in the feet, unsteady gait, difficulty in walking, muscle weakness and clumsiness.
A complication of severe chronic PA is subacute combined degeneration of spinal cord, which leads to distal sensory loss (posterior column), absent ankle reflex, increased knee reflex response, and extensor plantar response.
Pernicious anemia can contribute to a delay in physical growth in children, and may also be a cause for delay in puberty for adolescents.
When foods containing B are eaten, the vitamin is usually bound to protein and is released by proteases released by the pancreas in the small bowel.
Following its release, most B is absorbed by the body in the small bowel (ileum) after binding to a protein known as intrinsic factor.
Intrinsic factor is produced by parietal cells of the gastric mucosa (stomach lining) and the intrinsic factor-B complex is absorbed by cubilin receptors on the ileum epithelial cells.
PA may be considered as an end stage of immune gastritis, a disease characterised by stomach atrophy and the presence of antibodies to parietal cells and intrinsic factor.
Antibodies to intrinsic factor and parietal cells cause the destruction of the oxyntic gastric mucosa, in which the parietal cells are located, leading to the subsequent loss of intrinsic factor synthesis.
This is probably because the body stores many years' worth of B in the liver and gastric surgery patients are adequately supplemented with the vitamin.
Pernicious anemia is often found in conjunction with other autoimmune disorders, suggesting common autoimmune susceptibility genes may be a causative factor.
In spite of that, previous family studies and case reports focusing on PA have suggested that there is a tendency of genetic heritance of PA in particular, and close relatives of the PA patients seem to have higher incidence of PA and associated PA conditions.
Moreover, it was further indicated that the formation of antibodies to gastric cells was autosomal dominant gene determined, and the presence of antibodies to the gastric cells might not be necessarily related to the occurrence of atrophic gastritis related to PA.
Although the healthy body stores three to five years' worth of B in the liver, the usually undetected autoimmune activity in one's gut over a prolonged period of time leads to B depletion and the resulting anemia.
B is required by enzymes for two reactions: the conversion of methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA, and the conversion of homocysteine to methionine.
This accumulation depletes the other types of folate required for purine and thymidylate synthesis, which are required for the synthesis of DNA.
The neurological aspects of the disease are thought to arise from the accumulation of methylmalonyl CoA due to the requirement of B as a cofactor to the enzyme methylmalonyl CoA mutase.
A diagnosis of PA first requires demonstration of megaloblastic anemia by conducting a full blood count and blood smear, which evaluates the mean corpuscular volume (MCV), as well the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC).
Ovalocytes are also typically seen on the blood smear, and a pathognomonic feature of megaloblastic anemias (which include PA and others) is hypersegmented neutrophils.
Normal serum levels may be found in cases of deficiency where myeloproliferative disorders, liver disease, transcobalamin II deficiency, or intestinal bacterial overgrowth are present.
Low levels of serum vitamin B may be caused by other factors than B deficiency, such as folate deficiency, pregnancy, oral contraceptive use, haptocorrin deficiency, and myeloma.
The presence of antibodies to gastric parietal cells and intrinsic factor is common in PA. Parietal cell antibodies are found in other autoimmune disorders and also in up to 10% of healthy individuals, making the test nonspecific.
The combination of both tests of intrinsic factor antibodies and parietal cell antibodies may improve overall sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic results.
Elevated gastrin levels can be found in around 80-90% of PA cases, but they may also be found in other forms of gastritis.
Decreased pepsinogen I levels or a decreased pepsinogen I to pepsinogen II ratio may also be found, although these findings are less specific to PA and can be found in food-B malabsorption and other forms of gastritis.
About 90% of individuals with PA have antibodies for parietal cells; however, only 50% of all individuals in the general population with these antibodies have pernicious anemia.
This historic test consisted, in its first step, of taking an oral dose of radiolabelled vitamin B, followed by quantitation of the vitamin in the patient's urine over a 24-hour period via measurement of the radioactivity.
A second step of the test repeats the regimen and procedure of the first step, with the addition of oral intrinsic factor.
A patient with PA presents lower than normal amounts of intrinsic factor; hence, addition of intrinsic factor in the second step results in an increase in vitamin B absorption (over the baseline established in the first).
The Schilling test distinguished PA from other forms of B deficiency, specifically, from Imerslund-Grasbeck Syndrome (IGS), a vitamin B12-deficiency caused by mutations in cubilin the cobalamin receptor.
Opinions vary over the efficacy of administration (parenteral/oral), the amount and time interval of the doses, or the forms of vitamin B (e.g.
More comprehensive studies are still needed in order to validate the feasibility of a particular therapeutic method for PA in clinical practices.
A permanent cure for PA is lacking, although repletion of B should be expected to result in cessation of anemia-related symptoms, a halt in neurological deterioration, and in cases where neurological problems are not advanced, neurological recovery and a complete and permanent remission of all symptoms, so long as B is supplemented.
The standard treatment for PA has been intramuscular injections of cobalamin in the form of cyanocobalamin (CN-Cbl), hydroxocobalamin (OH-Cbl) or methylcobalamin.
Failure to diagnose and treat in time, however, may result in permanent neurological damage, excessive fatigue, depression, memory loss, and other complications.
An association has been observed between pernicious anemia and certain types of gastric cancer, but a causal link has not been established.
PA is estimated to affect 0.1% of the general population and 1.9% of those over 60, accounting for 20–50% of B deficiency in adults.
A review of literature shows that the prevalence of PA is higher in Northern Europe, especially in Scandinavian countries, and among people of African descent, and that increased awareness of the disease and better diagnostic tools might play a role in apparently higher rates of incidence.
However, this was not investigated in more depth until 1849, by British physician Thomas Addison, from which it acquired the common name of Addison's anemia.
In 1907, Richard Clarke Cabot reported on a series of 1200 patients with PA; their average survival was between one and three years.
William Bosworth Castle performed an experiment whereby he ingested raw hamburger meat and regurgitated it after an hour, and subsequently fed it to a group of 10 patients.
The first workable treatment for pernicious anemia began when Whipple made a discovery in the course of experiments in which he bled dogs to make them anemic, then fed them various foods to see which would make them recover most rapidly (he was looking for treatments for anemia from bleeding, not pernicious anemia).
Whipple discovered ingesting large amounts of liver seemed to cure anemia from blood loss, and tried liver ingestion as a treatment for pernicious anemia, reporting improvement there, also, in a paper in 1920.
For the discovery of the cure of a previously fatal disease of unknown cause, Whipple, Minot, and Murphy shared the 1934 Nobel Prize in Medicine.
After Minot and Murphy's verification of Whipple's results in 1926, pernicious anemia victims ate or drank at least one-half pound of raw liver, or drank raw liver juice, every day.
In 1928, chemist Edwin Cohn prepared a liver extract that was 50 to 100 times more potent than the natural food (liver).
The extract could even be injected into muscle, which meant patients no longer needed to eat large amounts of liver or juice.
The active ingredient in liver remained unknown until 1948, when it was isolated by two chemists, Karl A. Folkers of the United States and Alexander R. Todd of Great Britain.
The new vitamin in liver juice was eventually completely purified and characterized in the 1950s, and other methods of producing it from bacteria were developed.
Pernicious anemia was eventually treated with either injections or large oral doses of B, typically between 1 and 4 mg daily.
One writer has hypothesized that Mary Todd Lincoln, the wife of American President Abraham Lincoln, had pernicious anemia for decades and died from it.
Although oral megadoses and intramuscular injections are the most common methods of treatment currently available, several novel methods are being tested, with high promise for future incorporation into mainstream treatment methods.
As injections are unfavourable vehicles for drug delivery, current research involves improving the passive diffusion across the ileum upon oral ingestion of cobalamin derivatives.
This complex is much more lipophilic than the water-soluble vitamin B, so is able to pass through cellular membranes with greater ease.
The lack of intrinsic factor produced by the patient's body can be supplemented by using synthetic human IF produced from pea plant recombinants.
A 2003 study found, while this method is effective, a dose of 500 μg of cyanocobalamin given either orally or sublingually, is equally efficacious in restoring normal physiological concentrations of cobalamin.
A 1997 study monitored the plasma cobalamin concentration of six patients with pernicious anemia over a period of 35 days while being treated with 1500 μg of intranasal hydroxocobalamin.
One hour after administration, all patients showed on average an immediate eight-fold increase in plasma cobalamin concentration and a two-fold increase after 35 days with three 1500 μg treatments.
The transdermal route allows the cobalamin derivative to passively diffuse through the stratum corneum, epidermis, and dermis, and ultimately entering the bloodstream; hence, the cobalamin avoids the hepatic first pass effect, and so offers the potential for improved bioavailability and efficacy.
In one such system, a drug-loaded polycaprolactone fiber that is prepared as an electrospun nanofiber can release hundreds of micrograms of cobabalmin per day.
Oettinger Davidoff AG manufactures a broad portfolio of cigars, cigarillos, pipe tobaccos and smoker's accessories under the brands Davidoff, Camacho and Zino Platinum.
The cigars are produced in the Dominican Republic and Honduras, and tobacco is sourced from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Ecuador, Honduras and the United States of America.
The brand name Davidoff originates from the name of its Russian Empire-born Jewish founder, Zino Davidoff (born Sussele-Meier Davidoff; 1906–1994), who ran a tobacco specialist shop in Geneva, Switzerland, from 1936 to 1994.
The cigars were rolled in the newly established El Laguito factory in Havana, which had been established to roll Cuban President Fidel Castro's own personal cigars, named Cohíba.
The Zino Davidoff Group was spun out of Davidoff in 1980 to exclusively market non-tobacco luxury goods such as watches, leather goods, pens, fragrances, eyewear, coffee, and cognac.
Leading up to this, in August 1989, Zino had publicly burned over one hundred thousand cigars that he had deemed of low quality and unfit to sell.
Moving forward, Davidoff Cigars started to make use of tobaccos sourced from other countries than the Dominican Republic to diversify their product portfolio.
Davidoff Cigars produces a number of smoker's accessories, including humidors, lighters, cigar cutters, cigar ashtrays, cigar cases, pipes and pipe accessories.
Shaolin Soccer (Chinese: 少林足球) is a 2001 sports comedy film directed by Stephen Chow, who also stars in the lead role.
A former Shaolin monk reunites his five brothers, years after their master's death, to apply their superhuman martial arts skills to play football and bring Shaolin kung fu to the masses.
Sing is a master of Shaolin kung fu, whose goal in life is to promote the spiritual and practical benefits of the art to modern society.
Sing is compelled by the idea of promoting kung fu through soccer and agrees to enlist his former Shaolin brothers to form a team under Fung's management.
Fung invites a vicious team to play against them and the thugs proceed to give the Shaolin team a brutal beating.
Sing meets Mui (Zhao Wei), a baker with severe acne who uses Tai chi to bake mantou, and even takes her to look at very expensive dresses at a high-end department store after hours.
However, this backfires and when Mui reveals her feelings to him, he tells her he only wants to be her friend.
Team Evil had been injected with an American drug, granting them superhuman strength and speed, making them practically invincible, and they bring Team Shaolin back to reality when Team Evil's amazing capabilities prove more than a match for them.
After Team Evil takes out Team Shaolin's goalkeepers, Mui, who has shaved her hair and improved her face, reappears to keep goal for Team Shaolin.
In their final attack, Team Evil's striker leaps into the sky and kick the ball with enormous force towards Mui; she uses her martial art to divert and stop it, thus preventing a goal.
A newspaper article then shows Hung being stripped of his title of soccer chairman and sent to jail for five years, while Team Evil players are permanently banned from playing soccer professionally.
Tin Kai-man (Iron Shirt) had been Chow's production manager on several movies, but had acted in numerous minor roles in previous films.
Zhao Wei, who played the Mandarin-speaking Mui, said it was a different step for her to star in a Hong Kong production.
However, Zhao admitted that she was not impressed with her look with less makeup because she is easily recognisable for her beautiful appearance.
The DVD release was shortened by 10 minutes, with the option for viewers to access the deleted scenes in the middle of the film.
The scenes deleted from the DVD version are the dance sequence in front of Mui's bakery, much of the conversation over Mui's makeover and the blooper reel before the end credits.
The Italian dub of the film features the voices of professional footballers Damiano Tommasi (as Mighty Steel Leg Sing), Vincent Candela (as Empty Hand), Marco Delvecchio (as Iron Head), Sinisa Mihajlovic (as Hooking Leg), Giuseppe Pancaro (as Iron Shirt) and Angelo Peruzzi (as Light Weight Vest).
The characters were drawn with large manga-like eyes and cartoonish bodies, but the artists were careful to retain the likenesses of each actor who portrayed them.
ComicsOne approached noted comic book artist Andy Seto with the idea of creating a two volume manhua-style graphic novel adaptation of the feature film.
Seto worked to make the novel as faithful to the film as possible but he admits that Stephen Chow's brand of Mo lei tau comedy does not translate well into illustrations.
This new content includes a backstory about Steel Leg's training in Shaolin before the death of his master, as well as completely rewriting entire sections of the movie.
For example, in the film a group of bar thugs beat up Sing and Iron Head after listening to their lounge-style tribute to Shaolin kung fu.
The following day, Sing seeks out the group and uses his Shaolin skills to beat the thugs using a soccer ball.
However, in the comic book, Sing is meditating in the park when he gets hit in the head with a soccer ball.
All of their comic book personas look to be in their twenties to thirties, with highly toned athletic physiques (with the exception of Light Weight); even Iron Head, who was the eldest of the six brothers, appears younger than he should.
Several online reviews have criticised the American adaptation for its apparent lack of story line coherence, mixture of realistic and cartoonish drawing styles, and bad Chinese-to-English translation, among other issues.
The Four Feathers is a 1902 adventure novel by British writer A. E. W. Mason that has inspired many films of the same title.
Against the background of the Mahdist War, young Feversham disgraces himself by quitting the army, which others perceive as cowardice, symbolized by the four white feathers they give him.
The novel tells the story of a British officer, Harry Feversham, who resigns from his commission in the Royal North Surrey Regiment just before Lord Garnet Wolseley's 1882 expedition to Egypt to suppress the rising of Colonel Ahmed Orabi.
He is censured for cowardice by three of his comradesCaptain Trench and Lieutenants Castleton and Willoughbysignified by their delivery of three white feathers to him.
He questions his own motives, but says he will redeem himself by acts that will convince his critics to take back the feathers.
He travels on his own to Egypt and Sudan, where in 1882 Muhammad Ahmed proclaimed himself the Mahdi (Guided One) and raised a Holy War.
Most of the action over the next six years takes place in the eastern Sudan, where the British and Egyptians held Suakin.
Later, disguised as a mad Greek musician, Harry gets imprisoned in Omdurman, where he rescues Captain Trench, who had been captured on a reconnaissance mission.
He returns to England, and sees Ethne for what he thinks is one last time, as she has decided to devote herself to the blind Durrance.
For example, the celebrated 1939 cinematic version, produced by Alexander Korda and Ralph Richardson, begins just after the death of Gordon in 1885.
In the 1929 silent version, a square of Highlanders is broken, but saved by Feversham and the Egyptian garrison of a besieged fort.
The enemy forces, Islamic rebels called Dervishes, or The Mahdi, are the same, as are the geographic settings of Britain, Egypt and the Sudan.
The mirror stage is based on the belief that infants recognize themselves in a mirror (literal) or other symbolic contraption which induces apperception (the turning of oneself into an object that can be viewed by the child from outside themselves) from the age of about six months.
Initially, Lacan proposed that the mirror stage was part of an infant's development from 6 to 18 months, as outlined at the Fourteenth International Psychoanalytical Congress at Marienbad in 1936.
Lacan's concept of the mirror stage was strongly inspired by earlier work by psychologist Henri Wallon, who speculated based on observations of animals and humans responding to their reflections in mirrors.
While chimpanzees rapidly lose interest in the discovery, human infants typically become very interested and devote much time and effort to exploring the connections between their bodies and their images.
Wallon's ideas about mirrors in infant development were distinctly non-Freudian and little-known until revived in modified form a few years later by Lacan.
Lacan attempted to link Wallon's ideas to Freudian psychoanalysis, but was met with indifference from the larger community of Freudian psychoanalysts.
Dylan Evans argues that Lacan's earliest versions of the mirror stage, while flawed, can be regarded as a bold pioneering in the field of ethology (the study of animal behavior) and a precursor of both cognitive psychology and evolutionary psychology.
In the 1930s, zoologists were increasingly interested in the then-new field of ethology, but not until the 1960s would the larger scientific community believe that animal behavior offered any insights into human behavior.
However, Evans also notes that by the 1950s Lacan's mirror stage concept had become abstracted to the point that it no longer required a literal mirror, but could simply be the child's observation of observed behavior in the imitative gestures of another child or elder.
As Lacan further develops the mirror stage concept, the stress falls less on its historical value and ever more on its structural value.
The mirror stage describes the formation of the Ego via the process of identification, the Ego being the result of identifying with one's own specular image.
At six months the baby still lacks coordination (see Louis Bolk); however, Lacan hypothesized that the baby can recognize itself in the mirror before attaining control over its bodily movements.
The child sees its image as a whole, but this contrasts with the lack of coordination of the body and leads the child to perceive a fragmented body.
This contrast, Lacan hypothesized, is first felt by the infant as a rivalry with its own image, because the wholeness of the image threatens it with fragmentation; thus the mirror stage gives rise to an aggressive tension between the subject and the image.
To resolve this aggressive tension, the subject identifies with the image: this primary identification with the counterpart is what forms the Ego.
(Evans, 1996) The moment of identification is to Lacan a moment of jubilation since it leads to an imaginary sense of mastery.
The Symbolic order is present in the figure of the adult who is carrying the infant: the moment after the subject has jubilantly assumed his image as his own, he turns his head toward this adult who represents the big Other, as if to call on him to ratify this image.
Eaglecrest Ski Area is a public ski area on Douglas Island in the U.S. state of Alaska, across Gastineau Channel from Juneau.
Eaglecrest has 4 double chairlifts accessing , with 34 marked alpine runs, 2 Nordic skiing loops and access to world class backcountry.
The area is owned and operated by Juneau's municipal government, though some legislators of the region, including Randy Wanamaker, have suggested privatization.
After two season of relatively small snowfall, Eaglecrest is making vast improvements on snow making mechanisms, grooming and trimming trails and general operation to ensure timely openings, even with limited snowfall.
Their award winning Snowsport School and certified instructors work to teach students of all ages the skills they need to be independent and safe skiers and riders.
It was opened on June 30, 1793 by Queen Maria I as a replacement for the Tejo Opera House, which was destroyed in the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.
The theatre was built in only six months following a design by Portuguese architect José da Costa e Silva, with neoclassical and rococo elements.
The general project is clearly inspired by great Italian theatres like the San Carlo of Naples (interior) and La Scala in Milan (interior and façade).
In the early 19th century, when the Portuguese Royal Court had to flee to the Portuguese colony of Brazil to escape the invading Napoleonic troops, a theatre modelled on the São Carlos was built in Rio de Janeiro.
The theatre was erected in honor of Princess Charlotte of Spain who had been married in 1785 at the age of 10 to the future King, Prince John and resided with him from 1790 once she was of childbearing age: Carlos (Portuguese form of Charles) is the masculine form of Charlotte.
The most famous Portuguese composer of the time, Marcos Portugal, became musical director of the São Carlos in 1800 after returning from Italy, and many of his operas were staged here.
Between 1828 and 1834, the São Carlos was closed during the Portuguese Civil War, fought between kings Miguel I and Pedro IV.
In 1993, the Orquestra Sinfónica Portuguesa was created as the Teatro's affiliate orchestra, with Álvaro Cassuto as the orchestra's first principal conductor.
Subsequent principal conductors of the Orquestra Sinfónica Portuguesa have included José Ramón Encinar (1999–2001), Zoltán Peskó (2001–2004) and Julia Jones (2008–2011).
The theatre building was classified as Property of Public Interest in 1928 and has been reclassified as a National Monument since 1996.
This central body is torn by a portico (entrance hall), and has a loggia at the ground level composed of 3 frontal arches and a lateral, in perfect round.
At the level of the third floor, this same central body presents a clock surrounded by garlands and two windows, all of which is surmounted by two pinnacles and the Portuguese coats-of-arms.At the level of the first floor, the two side bodies have two straight-polished doors crowned by low windows.
Although with the same two windows, at the second floor level they feature balustrade in stonework, protruding cornice and a small window in the mezzanine area.
It is named after its most famous faculty member, Justus von Liebig, the founder of modern agricultural chemistry and inventor of artificial fertiliser.
Its university hospital, which has two sites, Giessen and Marburg (the latter of which is the teaching hospital of the University of Marburg), is the only private university hospital in Germany.
Endowed with a charter issued by Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor, on 19 May 1607, the university was allowed to proceed with instruction in October 1607.
During the Thirty Years' War, when Hesse-Darmstadt was able to take the area around Marburg for itself, the University of Giessen ceased instruction and was moved back to its more long-standing location in Marburg (1624/25).
The Peace of Westphalia led to the restoration of the old location and in 1650 to the relocation of the university to Giessen.
In the 17th and 18th centuries the Ludoviciana was a typical small state university that then had the four common faculties (theology, law, medicine, and philosophy).
In the 18th century came gradual modernization of the curricula and reforms in the instruction, which were definitively influenced by the local lordly court in Darmstadt.
After finishing studies in this Faculty, a number of these youths were able to gain recognition in the Faculties of Medicine and Philosophy.
The University of Giessen weathered the transition from the 18th to the 19th century unscathed and was still the only university of an enlarged territory, the Grand Duchy of Hesse.
With the appointment of the 21-year-old Justus von Liebig in 1824 through the Grand Duchy — against the will of the university on the recommendation of Alexander von Humboldt — a new era in the natural sciences began, not only in Giessen.
Young, promising scientists created a new impulse in their respective areas of knowledge; among these scientists were the antiquarian Friedrich Gottlieb Welcker, the lawyer Rudolf von Jhering, the theologian Adolf von Harnack, and the physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen.
During this period, new clinics in human and veterinary medicine were established, and the university library received its first proper building.
With the creation of the university's central building (inaugurated 1880) and the adjacent newly constructed facilities for chemistry and physics a new cultural centre was established on what was then the border of the city.
For the first time included in the student body were women, who since 1900 were admitted as guest students and starting in 1908 were admitted for regular study.
The University of Giessen now has almost 23,000 students and 8,500 employees, which together with the Giessen students of Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen, makes Giessen the most student-dominated German city.
In the 2014/2015 winter semester the student population exceeded the mark of more than a total of 28,000 students and 7,000 first-semester students for the first time.
Although the university has no defined campus, buildings and facilities are grouped together according to their subject areas and situated in various locations around Giessen.
Two law students of University of Giessen, Karl Siegfrieden (4 June 1822 – 10 March 1840) and Karl von Müller (10 June 1799 – 10 March 1840), are buried in a double grave at Alter Friedhof cemetery in Giessen.
Recent alumni in the area of politics include current President of Germany and former Vice Chancellor and Minister for Foreign Affairs Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Brigitte Zypries, current Federal Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy and former Federal Minister of Justice.
They include the German romantic dramatist and revolutionary Georg Büchner, the literary and political historian Georg Gottfried Gervinus and the botanist Johann Jacob Dillenius.
Carl A. Schenck, who received his PhD in Forestry from Giessen, founded Biltmore Forest School, the first such school in the United States.
Friedrich Kellner was chief justice inspector in Laubach from 1933 to 1950 and also district auditor for the region of Giessen.
Before the early 1900s, this goose was considered a rare species, possibly as a consequence of open hunting, but numbers have increased dramatically as a result of conservation measures.
It is now listed as a species of Least Concern by the IUCN, and is protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
The Ross's goose is named in honor of Bernard R. Ross, who was associated with the Hudson's Bay Company in Canada's Northwest Territories.
Two hypotheses about the evolution of Ross's goose are that they arose from a population of snow geese that were isolated by glacial advance or in a refugium that remained ice free.
Landscape in the central Arctic is dominated by flat plains with some rock outcrops and drumlins, wet meadows, and marshy tundra.
Ross's geese form large nesting colonies on islands in shallow lakes and adjacent mainland, building nests on the ground made of twigs, leaves, grass, moss, and down.
A study of ground-based sampling along the McConnell River on the west coast of Hudson Bay reported a population of about 81,000 nesting Ross's geese.
These birds migrate from their Canadian nesting grounds by mid-October, probably in response to limited food before freezing temperatures set in, and begin their return in mid-April to May.
The number of nesting birds in the Queen Maud Gulf hit a record low of 2,000-3,000 in the early 1950s due to extensive shooting and trapping and their subsequent sale in California markets.
Stephen Chow Sing Chi (, born 22 June 1962) is a Hong Kong film director, actor, producer, political adviser of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and martial artist.
Chow was born in Hong Kong on 22 June 1962 to Ling Po Yee (), an alumnus of Guangzhou Normal University, and Chow Yik Sheung (), an immigrant from Ningbo, Zhejiang.
Chow attended Heep Woh Primary School, a missionary school attached to the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China in Prince Edward Road, Kowloon Peninsula.
Chow won Best Director and Best Actor at the 2002 Hong Kong Film Awards, and the film went on to garner additional awards including a Blue Ribbon Awards for Best Foreign Language Film and the Golden Bauhinia Award for Best Picture and Best Director.
Chow also won Best Director at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards and Best Picture of Imagine Film Festival as well as twenty international awards.
These vehicles for hire are typically smaller than buses and usually take passengers on a fixed or semi-fixed route without timetables, but instead departing when all seats are filled.
A given share taxi route may start and finish in fixed central locations, and landmarks may serve as route names or route termini.
In these places the share taxis wait for a full load of passengers prior to departing, and off-peak wait times may be in excess of an hour.
After a share taxi has picked up passengers at its terminus, it proceeds along a semi-fixed route where the driver may determine the actual route within an area according to traffic condition.
Drivers will stop anywhere to allow riders to disembark, and may sometimes do the same when prospective passengers want to ride.
Rarely owning more than two vehicles at a time, they will rent out a minibus to operators, who pay fuel and other running costs, and keep revenue.
In some places, like some African cities and also Hong Kong, share taxi minibuses are overseen by syndicates, unions, or route associations.
These groups often function in the absence of a regulatory environment and may collect dues or fees from drivers (such as per-use terminal payments, sometimes illegally), set routes, manage terminals, and fix fares.
In Israel they were mostly the largest model of Mercedes, owned generally by Arabs, and very efficient, having space for 7-8 people, and having loosely fixed routes, dropping a passenger either at a specific terminus or going a little out of the way to facilitate the passenger.
While carrying different names and distinguished by regional peculiarities, the share taxi is an everyday feature of life in many places throughout the world.
Rides are shared with others who are picked up along the way, and the taxi will leave only when it seats all the passengers it can.
Along with all forms of public transport in Algeria, the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada recommend against using these share taxis.
They are preferred by the majority of the populace over public buses and more-traditional taxicabs because they are generally cheap, operate on diverse routes, and are available in abundance.
Also as of 2008, the city lacks an independent transport authority, but some regulation, such as that controlling market entry, does exist.
Following the creation of the Greater Accra Passenger Transport Executive, some large buses were brought into service, mainly Brazilian built Scanias with Marcopolo bodies.
Black taxi operators were declined permits in the Apartheid era and all minibus taxi operations were, by their very nature, illegal.
Post 1987, the industry was rapidly deregulated, leading to an influx of new minibus taxi operators, keen to make money off the high demand for this service.
Because the industry was largely unregulated and the official regulating bodies corrupt, these associations soon engaged in anti-competitive price fixing and exhibited gangster tactics – including the hiring of hit-men and all-out gang warfare.
During the height of the conflict, it was not uncommon for taxi drivers to carry shotguns and AK-47s to simply shoot rival taxi drivers and their passengers on sight.
Along with new legislation, the government has instituted a 7-year recapitalization scheme to replace the old and un-roadworthy vehicles with new 18- and 35-seater minibuses.
The name is in reference to the fact that conductors often hit the roof and side of the van to attract customers and to notify the driver when to leave the station.
These often-crowded public transports have their routes allocated by a Tanzania transport regulator, Surface and Marine Transport Regulatory Authority (SUMATRA), but syndicates also exist and include DARCOBOA.
They may ply set routes, display this route, run from termini, run both inter and intra-city, and may stop along said route to purchase or collect money from passengers.
Most people believe the name is Matatu is Swahili because it's used all over the country, but its real origin is from the Kikuyu dialect.
Although most of the older history in Kenya is not written, many of the people born in the 1940's and 50's vividly tell the story of how they used to pay thirty cents to any destination when the share taxis were introduced.
Riders can typically hail micro-buses from any point along the route, often with well-established hand signals indicating the prospective rider's destination, although certain areas tend to be well-known micro-bus stops.
In Mainland China, it is normal in some areas like Yingkou City to share a regular taxicab with other passengers waiting along the same route.
Public light buses (), also known as minibus or maxicab (), run the length and breadth of Hong Kong, through areas which the standard bus lines cannot or do not reach as frequently, quickly or directly.
Typically offering a faster and more efficient transportation solution due to their small size, limited carrying capacity, frequency and diverse range of routes, although they are generally slightly more expensive than standard buses, minibuses carry a maximum of 19 seated passengers.
During off-peak hours they ply like regular taxis; they can be hailed anywhere on the roads and passengers are charged by the meter.
They sometimes display their general destination on their windscreens, and passengers get in and wait for the cab to fill up.
Fares are fixed and much lower than the metered fare to the same destination, but higher than a bus or train fare.
It runs accordingly with its exact routes and passengers can stop the van anywhere according to its destination, and is not required to stop at a bus stop or station.
Four passengers share a taxi and sometimes there is no terminus and they wait in the street side and blare their destination to all taxies until one of them stops.
Minibuses, in the past years, with a capacity of 18 passengers, and nowadays van taxies, with a capacity of 10 passengers are other kinds of share transport in Iran.
They follow fixed routes (sometimes the same routes as public transport buses), leave when full, and will only disembark passengers along the route.
In intra-city routes, where they compete with official buses, the drivers usually coordinate their travel by radio so that they can arrive at the bus station just before public transport buses and take the most passengers.
The most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines as of 2007, jeepneys were originally made out of US military jeeps left over from World War II and are known for their color and flamboyant decoration.
They have not changed much since their post-war creation, even in the face of an increased access to pre-made vehicles, such as minibuses.
However, due to the government's Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program, Jeepneys and other modes of transportation must comply to the newer Philippine National Standards which is more compliant with international standards.
Older jeepneys have the entrance on the back, and there is space for two people beside the driver (or more if they are small) while the modern jeepneys have to doors on the right side of the vehicle.
The back cab of the Jeepney is equipped with two long bench seats along the sides and the people seated closest to the driver are responsible for passing the fare of new passengers forward to the driver and the change back to the passenger.
The start and end point of the Jeepney route is often a Jeepney terminal, where there is a queue system so only one Jeepney plying a particular route is filled at a time, and where a person helps the driver to collect fares and fill the vehicles with people, usually to more than comfortable capacity.
Preferring to leave only when full and only stop for a crowd of potential passengers, riders can nonetheless disembark at any time; and while jeepneys ply fixed routes, these may be subject to change over time.
Another share taxi that is also common in the Philippines is the UV Express which uses Compact MPVs and vans as its form factor.
An air traveller can contact the shuttle company by telephone or Internet, not necessarily in advance; the company will ensure that a shuttle is provided without unreasonable delay.
The shuttle offers much of the convenience of a taxi, although taking longer, at a price which is significantly lower for one or two passengers.
In many cases the shuttle operator takes the risk of there not being enough passengers to make the trip profitable; in others there is a minimum charge when there are not enough passengers.
Usually there are regulations covering vehicles and drivers; for example in New Zealand under NZTA regulations, shuttles are only allowed to have up to eleven passenger seats, and the driver must have a passenger endorsement (P) on their drivers' licence.
In Cyprus, there are privately owned share taxis that travel to set destinations and board additional passengers en route called service taxis.
Traveling intra and inter-city, the privately owned minibuses or aging Mercedes stretch limos are overseen by a governance institution; routes are leased and vehicles licensed.
Passengers board anywhere along the route (you may have to get the driver to stop if he doesn't honk at you) as well as at termini and official stations.
Usually vans, they drive along set routes, usually depart only when all seats are filled, and may have higher fares than buses.
Operated on behalf of the Netherlands Railways, they run to and from railway stations and the ride is shared with additional passengers picked up along the way.
In 2018 Arriva launched shared taxi service Arriva Click in Liverpool and Sittingbourne and Kent Science Park in the United Kingdom.
In some towns in Northern Ireland, notably certain districts in Ballymena, Belfast, Derry and Newry, share taxi services operate using Hackney carriages and are called black taxis.
Taxi collectives are closely linked with political groups – those operating in Catholic areas with Sinn Féin, those in Protestant areas with loyalist paramilitaries and their political wings.
Service frequencies are typically higher than on bus services, especially at peak times, although limited capacities mean that passengers living close to the termini may find it difficult to find a black taxi with seats available in the rush hour.
In the Dominican Republic, these privately owned vehicles run fixed routes with no designated stops, and the ride is shared with other passengers.
The US Department of State also warns that using them is hazardous, as passengers often have their pockets picked, and are sometimes robbed by the drivers themselves.
They follow fixed routes; won't leave until filled with passengers; and many feature wild colors, portraits of famous people, and intricate, hand-cut wooden window covers.
In the case of the Montréal the fare is the same as local bus fare, but no cash and transfers are issued or accepted; in case of the STL only bus passes.
The Réseau de transport de Longueuil accepts regular RTL tickets and all RTL and some Réseau de transport métropolitain TRAM passes.
They are generally small-capacity vehicles that follow a rough service route, but can go slightly out of their way to pick up and drop off passengers.
While jitneys became fairly common in many other countries, such as the Philippines, they first appeared in the US and Canada.
Similarly, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, in the 1920s, jitneys competed directly with the streetcar monopoly operating along the same routes as the streetcars, but jitneys were charging lower fares.
Since the 1973 oil crisis (as well as the mid-20th-century decline in transit service), jitneys have reappeared in some areas of the US, particularly in inner city areas once served by streetcars and private buses.
Along with traditional Bus and Minibus routes in some areas that the regular size buses couldn´t fit due the road and street height and width with small size.
Heavily used share taxi routes often evolve into regulated microbus public transit routes, as has occurred in Mexico City and in Lima.
Modern Paratransit services, also known as demand responsive transport systems in the UK, can provide shared transport services in situations where scheduled services are not viable.
Traditionally these services had to be booked a day in advance, but are becoming increasingly responsive using modern communications systems with a central booking system accessed by phone or internet and instant communications with GPS tracked vehicles.
Some newer taxi share systems now use internet and mobile phone communications for booking and scheduling purposes, with the actual service provided by normal hackney carriage or Private Hire vehicles.
Prospective passengers make bookings and supply destination details using SMS or mobile apps to a central server which aggregates these travel requests and creates packages of trips which are then communicated to drivers.
There are many operators of airport shuttle services between Airports and Hotels around the world that operate on flexible routing and timing to offer a service that is both cheaper than a sole-occupancy taxi and also often more convenient that other forms of public transport.
The requirement to carry luggage offers an added incentive to use such services over scheduled transport which will normally require a walk from the drop-off location to the final destination.
Some operators and/or governments around the world are now offering demand-based shared transport to residents in community with low ridership numbers, which could help maintain the existence of public transport.
was legislation passed by the Congress of the United States and signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson that established the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA).
It had been started shortly after November 22, 1963 when evidence in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy increased public alertness to the relative lack of control over the sale and possession of guns in the United States.
The LEAA, which was superseded by the Office of Justice Programs, provided federal grant funding for criminology and criminal justice research, much of which focused on social aspects of crime.
Within that amount, $50 million was earmarked for assistance to local law enforcement agencies, which included funds to deal with riot control and organized crime.
Employers can ban personal phone calls and can monitor calls for compliance provided they stop listening as soon as a personal conversation begins.
§ 3501 with a clear intent to reverse the effect of the court ruling, included a provision in the Crime Control Act directing federal trial judges to admit statements of criminal defendants if they were made voluntarily, without regard to whether he had received the Miranda warnings.
It reasoned, following a paper by University of Utah law professor Paul G. Cassell, that Miranda was not a constitutional requirement, that Congress could therefore overrule it by legislation, and that the provision had supplanted the requirement that police give Miranda warnings.
Dennis Yeats Wheatley (8 January 1897 – 10 November 1977) was an English writer whose prolific output of thrillers and occult novels made him one of the world's best-selling authors from the 1930s through the 1960s.
Wheatley was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant into the Royal Field Artillery during the First World War, receiving his basic training at Biscot Camp in Luton.
Wheatley was gassed in a chlorine attack during Passchendaele and was invalided out, having served in Flanders, on the Ypres Salient, and in France at Cambrai and St. Quentin.
During the Second World War Wheatley was a member of the London Controlling Section, which secretly coordinated strategic military deception and cover plans.
He received a direct commission in the JP Service as a Wing Commander, RAFVR, and took part in the plans for the Normandy invasions.
Over time, each of his major series would include at least one book pitting the hero against some manifestation of the supernatural - making them into fantasy and specifically contemporary fantasy.
He came to be considered an authority on Satanism, the practice of exorcism, and black magic, toward all of which he expressed hostility.
During the 1930s, Wheatley conceived a series of mysteries, presented as case files, including testimonies, letters, and pieces of evidence such as hairs or pills.
The reader had to inspect this evidence to solve the mystery before unsealing the last pages of the file, which gave the answer.
In the 1960s, Hutchinson was selling a million copies of his books per year, and most of his titles were kept available in hardcover.
Wheatley also wrote non-fiction works, including an account of the Russian Revolution, a life of King Charles II of England, and several autobiographical volumes.
These included both occult-themed novels by the likes of Bram Stoker and Aleister Crowley (with whom he once shared a lunch) and non-fiction works on magic, occultism, and divination by authors such as the Theosophist H. P. Blavatsky, the historian Maurice Magre, the magician Isaac Bonewits, and the palm-reader Cheiro.
Two weeks before his death in November 1977, Wheatley received conditional absolution from his old friend Cyril 'Bobby' Eastaugh, the Bishop of Peterborough.
His grandson Dominic Wheatley became one of the co-founders of the software house Domark, which published a number of titles in the 1980s and 1990s.
His protagonists are generally supporters of the monarchy, imperialism and the class system, and many of his villains are villainous because they attack these ideas.
During the winter of 1947, Wheatley penned 'A Letter to Posterity' which he buried in an urn at his country home.
The letter was intended to be discovered some time in the future (it was found in 1969 when the house was demolished for redevelopment of the property).
Employers are now no longer allowed to run their businesses as they think best but have become the bond slaves of socialist state planning.
The school leaving age has been put up to 16, and a 5 day working week has been instituted in the mines, the railways and many other industries.
The doctrine of ensuring every child a good start in life and equal opportunities is fair and right, but the intelligent and the hardworking will always rise above the rest, and it is not a practical proposition that the few should be expected to devote their lives exclusively to making things easy for the majority.
From 1972 to 1977 (the year of his death), 52 of Dennis Wheatley's novels were offered in a uniform hardcover set by Heron Books UK.
Having brought each of his major fictional series to a close with the final Roger Brook novel, Wheatley then turned to his memoirs.
These were announced as five volumes, but never completed, and were eventually published as three books, the (fourth) volume concerning the Second World War issued as a separate title.
Wheatley's literary estate was acquired by media company Chorion in April 2008, and several titles were reissued in Wordsworth paperback editions.
When Chorion encountered financial problems in 2012, the Rights House and PFD acquired four crime estates from them, including the Wheatley titles.
All titles in this list (up to the end of the 'Short Story Collection' section) were made available in the 1970s 'Heron' hardback edition, except for the titles marked with an 'X'.
Salem was founded in 1772 by early Moravian settlers who held the view that girls deserved an education comparable to that afforded boys.
Among the town's early residents were 16 girls and women who traveled, mostly on foot, more than 500 miles from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to join the new community.
One of them was 17-year-old Elisabeth Oesterlein, who would be the first teacher of what is now Salem Academy and College.
The school grew considerably throughout the 19th century both in size and course offerings, with college-level courses being offered in the 1860s.
Despite such travails as the American Civil War and a measles epidemic in the 1800s, the Academy has never closed its doors in the more than two centuries since those first classes were held.
Founded by the Moravian Church, Salem Academy is now an independent institution that retains some of the traditions of the church.
Salem's mission is shaped by Moravian beliefs that have stressed the importance of education and learning as central to their mission for centuries.
Other Moravian traditions still practiced at the school include the senior vespers held at the end of every fall term, which includes a Moravian Lovefeast.
Salem Academy is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools and is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
All US applicants are required to send middle school transcripts and teacher recommendations, and must take the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT).
International students from countries such as Germany, South Korea, Trinidad, Albania, Dominica, Lithuania, the United Kingdom, the Bahamas, and China make up nearly one-quarter of the student body each school year.
Recent graduates have enrolled at top colleges and universities, including Duke University; the University of Southern California; the University of California, Los Angeles; Pennsylvania State University; Washington University in St. Louis; UNC Chapel Hill; Williams College; NYU Tisch School of the Arts; and Salem College.
Salem requires 20 academic credits required for graduation, including four in English, three in a world language, four in mathematics, three in history, and three in science, plus requirements in physical education, religion, and fine arts.
Small class size, averaging 13-14 students per class, and low student to faculty ratio (7:1) allows Salem's superb faculty to know all their students due to the intimate learning environment.
Salem's small classes characterized by lively discussions and debates; each girl has the opportunity to be known and a chance to be heard.
Each student is assigned a faculty advisor to assist the student in the selection of her courses, serve as a liaison between the student and her teachers, consult with parents about academic and related problems, and review and discuss all grades.
While an advisor has many duties, foremost is that of being the student's friend—the adult who talks with her, helps her, and is her advocate.
Jan Term is a three-week mini-term that gives students opportunities to pursue internships, enroll in special classes, and travel both in the United States and abroad.
For the first two years most students spend January Term on campus in focused classes or programs that allow each student to further explore her interests.
Juniors and Seniors pursue internships outside of Salem where they can gain first hand knowledge of topics and careers of interest.
In February, the Athletic Council holds a bonfire where students gather around a large fire on the athletic fields to roast hotdogs, make smores, and drink hot chocolate.
The ceremony involves faculty and staff sharing personal messages and the Dean of Students reading letters from alumnae with well wishes and advice for current students.
The school colors are purple and gold and the entire school is divided into two school spirit teams—the purple team and the gold team.
The presidents of both the Freshman and Senior classes, along with a previously elected Freshman prepare speeches and speak to the crowd.
The morning is concluded by the seniors acting out skits and singing the senior song to the other students, faculty, and staff during an outdoor luncheon.
Starting with the Class of 2008, if the seniors wish to mention a teacher in the skit, they must ask for the approval of the mentioned teacher, due to past incidents of faculty members feeling insulted by the content of the skits.
Senior skits portray what their four years were like, highlight ongoing inside class jokes, and remember the most absurd events their class experienced together.
The seniors lead a Moravian Lovefeast, which is a candlelight choral service in which students sing Christmas carols and seniors serve coffee and buns in the Moravian tradition.
The Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross also known as the Vietnamese Gallantry Cross or Vietnam Cross of Gallantry () is a military decoration of the former Government of South Vietnam (Republic of Vietnam).
The medal was created on August 15, 1950 and was awarded to military personnel, civilians, and Armed Forces units and organizations in recognition of deeds of valor or heroic conduct while in combat with the enemy.
Individuals who received the medal, ribbon, and a citation were personally cited at the Armed Forces, Corps, Division, Brigade or Regiment level.
The Republic of Vietnam authorized members of units and organizations that were cited, to wear the Gallantry Cross Unit Citation Emblem with Palm and Frame (no medal is authorized).
The center of the cross contains a disc with the outline of the country of Vietnam between two palm branches joined at the bottom.
The suspension ribbon of the medal is 35 mm wide and is made up of the following stripes: 9 mm of Old Glory Red; 17 mm center stripe in Golden Yellow.
The devices to the Gallantry Cross are not worn simultaneously but instead are upgraded to the next higher device which would replace the previous device for wear on the decoration.
U.S. Marine Corps uniform regulations in 2003 state the recipient should wear only one Gallantry Cross award (medal or ribbon bar) regardless of the number received.
The Gallantry Cross was awarded to members of all military branches, as well as service members of foreign and allied militaries.
The Unit Citation Emblem of the colors of the Gallantry Cross is awarded to personnel in the South Vietnamese military and Allied military units that have been cited and presented a decoration which is prescribed to be awarded on a collective basis.
Known as the Vietnam Gallantry Cross Unit Citation with Palm (Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm and Frame Unit Citation), the Unit Citation Emblem in the colors of the Gallantry Cross with Palm, was created on January 20, 1968 and was issued with the Gallantry Cross ribbon bar with a by inch bronze palm and a gold frame.
The former South Vietnamese military awarded the Gallantry Cross to specific military units that distinguished themselves to the same level as would be required for the individual award.
Regulations for the issuance of the Vietnam Gallantry Cross permit the wearing of both the individual and unit award simultaneously since both are considered separate awards.
The Gallantry Cross became the most commonly awarded Vietnamese decoration to foreigners, second only to the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal.
Department of the Army message 111030Z from April 1974, established the policy that only one emblem for a unit award was authorized to be worn at a time.
The United States military began authorizing the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross in March 1968 with retroactive presentation of the decoration to 1961.
The National Personnel Records Center-NPRC (or veteran's service branch), is the U.S. federal agency that generally takes and responds to retroactive award requests from U.S. Army veterans (and other Vietnam veterans) and or updating their personal military records to show the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross (RVN) and or unit award credit, either per Army General Order 8 or per unit specific awards.
The full medal and or unit citation award are both considered foreign military awards and are not issued to Vietnam veterans (or their NOK) by the NPRC (or any of the United States military services).
Once requested (USN-USMC name of the unit award must be used by those veterans) and authorized, the veteran (or NOK) will be notified by mail to purchase the award(s) at most U.S. military installations, military clothing sales or private military insignia and Internet dealers.
This is a list of postal codes in Canada where the first letter is M. Postal codes beginning with M are located within the city of Toronto in the province of Ontario.
Canada Post provides a free postal code look-up tool on its website, via its applications for such smartphones as the iPhone and BlackBerry, and sells hard-copy directories and CD-ROMs.
Note: There are no rural FSAs in Toronto, hence no postal codes should start with M0, however, the postal code M0R 8T0 is assigned to an Amazon (company) warehouse in Mississauga, suggesting that Canada Post may be allocating the M0 FSA for high volume addresses.
The comic is copyrighted by WangZ Inc, a company established by Joseph Wong Chak (Alfonso Wong's eldest son) in Taipei, Taiwan.
Supporting characters include Big Potato (Old Master Q's identically-dressed contemporary with a stumpy, big-headed build), Mr. Chin ('ordinary Joe' character, good friends with Old Master Q and Potato), and Mr. Chao (main antagonist to Old Master Q, often pranking each other).
The overall theme of the comics centres around humour, with characters usually portrayed in a variety of social statuses, professions and time periods, ranging from beggars and office workers to actors and ancient warriors, which allows for a wide variety of scenarios to explore.
While each comic is typically produced as short strips of four, six or twelve panels, longer comics have been produced revolving around lengthier adventures of the main cast pitted again gangsters in modern Hong Kong or warriors in a wuxia setting.
While Old Master Q comics primarily focuses on humour, it also reflects changing social trends, particularly from the 1960s to the 1980s.
The language barrier between the Chinese language and the English language is also depicted in some comic strips, illustrated with Old Master Q's difficulty communicating with foreigners, especially Westerners.
The comics have, on rare occasions, expressed serious views on major political changes taking place in Hong Kong during the 1960s-1980s.
It had previously criticised overly Westernised Chinese, who were often shown in the comic strips kowtowing to Western interests over the local Chinese interests.
The run-up to the handover of Hong Kong to China following the Sino-British Joint Declaration of 1984 also became a point of interest, as a few comic strips were published through the late 1980s and early 1990s expressing the characters' fears of handover, frequently represented in a numeral of the year it would take place: 1997.
Some of these comic strips also depict direct assault of representations of the Chinese government and the Communist Party of China, occasionally in the form of caricatured depictions of Deng Xiaoping.
The handover was later depicted in more a positive light in the years leading to the actual event, possibly representing a changing perspective from the author.
The comic series was made into many Cantonese and Mandarin cartoon animations, one of which combined live actors and advanced CGI graphics.
Some cartoonists and readers claim that the idea of Old Master Q was actually created by Peng Di (朋弟) in the late 1930s and not Alfonso Wong.
A writer from Tianjin published a book in 2001 containing samples of work by Peng Di, which displayed the resemblance between Peng Di and Alfonso Wong's works.
The result of this dispute remains unclear as WangZ Inc. has denied all plagiarism accusations, while a considerable number of mostly professional cartoonists insist that Peng Di's ideas were stolen by Alfonso Wong.
In the years after the 1969 appointment of Louis Erlo as general director, many innovative productions and premieres of both French operas and Twentieth Century operas have been staged.
Two significant French artists who have been associated with the Opéra in recent years are the stage director, Laurent Pelly, and the soprano, Natalie Dessay.
Past principal conductors at the company have included André Cluytens, John Eliot Gardiner, Kent Nagano, Louis Langrée, Iván Fischer, and Kazushi Ono.
Nevertheless, the theatre soon became too small and the architects Chenavard and Pollet rebuilt a brand new one in a neo-classical style in 1830.
At the beginning of the 1980s, out of age and not meeting the needs any more, the Opera had to be renewed.
On the opera house front wall, 8 muses have been kept in place (Uranie, the 9th one was removed to respect the symmetry of the building).
Georges Dumézil (; 4 March 1898 – 11 October 1986, Paris) was a French comparative philologist best known for his analysis of sovereignty and power in Proto-Indo-European religion and society.
He is considered one of the major contributors to mythography, in particular for his formulation of the trifunctional hypothesis of social class in ancient societies.
During his time in secondary school, he was also influenced by Michel Bréal, a leading French philologist who was the grandfather of one of his classmates.
By the time that he entered the École Normale Supérieure in 1916, he was already on the road to studying linguistics and the classics.
The dissertation was controversial because some of the examiners, such as Henri Hubert, thought that Dumézil took liberty with the facts to generate a more beautiful interpretation (that was a common criticism of Dumézil's work).
Feeling that he had little place in the French academy, Dumézil moved to Turkey in 1925 to teach at the University of Istanbul, created as part of Kemal Atatürk's attempt to create a modern, secular nation.
In 1931, he took another position, in Uppsala, Sweden, which allowed him to improve his skills in the Germanic stock of Indo-European.
In 1935 he left Uppsala to take up a chair of Comparative Religion of Indo-European Peoples at the prestigious École Pratique des Hautes Études.
He was named a professor at the Collège de France in 1949, and was finally elected to the Académie française in 1978 thanks to the patronage of his colleague and fellow student of myth, Claude Lévi-Strauss.
Michel Foucault, for instance, benefitted from his patronage when Dumézil arranged for him to teach temporarily in Uppsala early on in his career.
Georges Charachidzé, a historian and linguist of Georgian origin under Dumézil's tutelage, became a noted specialist of the Caucasian cultures and aided Dumézil in the reconstruction of the Ubykh language.
Many themes of Dumézil's work have continued influence in ancient religious studies: his impulse to comparative study, and his basic insight that polytheistic gods must be studied not simply by themselves but in the pairs and the ensembles in which their worshippers grouped them.
The scholars Arnaldo Momigliano, Carlo Ginzburg, and Lincoln argue that Dumézil was in favor of a traditional hierarchical order in Europe (e.g.
three estates), that his Indo-European dualism and tripartite ideology may be also related to Italian and French fascist ideas and that he was in favor of French fascism (e.g.
Tab Hunter (born Arthur Andrew Kelm; July 11, 1931 – July 8, 2018) was an American actor, singer, film producer and author.
He appeared in over 40 films and was a well-known Hollywood star and heartthrob of the 1950s and 1960s, known for his blond, clean-cut good looks.
He was raised in California living with his mother, brother, and maternal grandparents, John Henry and Ida (née Sonnenfleth) Gelien, living in San Francisco, Long Beach and Los Angeles.<ref name=nyt2003/09/09></ref> His mother re-assumed her maiden surname, Gelien, and changed her sons’ surnames, as well.
It was based on a bestseller by Leon Uris and became Warner Bros.' largest grossing film of that year, cementing Hunter's position as one of Hollywood's top young romantic leads.
The innuendo-laced article, and a second one focusing on Rory Calhoun's prison record, were the result of a deal Henry Willson had brokered with the scandal rag in exchange for not revealing the sexual orientation of his more prominent client, Rock Hudson, to the public.
A few months later, he was named Most Promising New Personality in a nationwide poll sponsored by the Council of Motion Picture Organizations.
Hunter rejected the third picture, thus ending Warners' attempt to make Hunter and Wood the William Powell and Myrna Loy of the 1950s.
His success prompted Jack L. Warner to enforce the actor's contract with the Warner Bros. studio by banning Dot Records, the label for which Hunter had recorded the single (and which was owned by rival Paramount Pictures), from releasing a follow-up album he had recorded for them.
The film had originally been a Broadway musical, but Hunter was the only one in the film version who had not appeared in the original cast.
Hunter later said the filming was hellish because director George Abbott was only interested in recreating the stage version word for word.
It was a hit in the United Kingdom, where it ranked as one of the most watched situation comedies of the year.
As of June 2018, a feature film about Hunter was in development at Paramount Pictures to be produced by Glaser, J. J. Abrams and Zachary Quinto.
Hunter had long-term relationships with actor Anthony Perkins and champion figure skater Ronnie Robertson before settling down and marrying his partner / spouse of over 35 years, film producer Allan Glaser.
Hunter has a star for his contributions to the music industry on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6320 Hollywood Blvd.
Three days before his 87th birthday, Hunter died after suffering cardiac arrest which arose from complications related to deep vein thrombosis.
It was founded in 1914 as a citizens' university, which means it was founded and funded by the wealthy and active liberal citizenry of Frankfurt.
In 1932, the university's name was extended in honour of one of the most famous native sons of Frankfurt, the poet, philosopher and writer/dramatist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
The historical roots of the university can be traced back as far as 1484, when a City Council Library was established with a bequest from the patrician Ludwig von Marburg.
The university has been best known historically for its Institute for Social Research (founded 1924), the institutional home of the Frankfurt School, a preeminent 20th century school of philosophy and social thought.
Some of the well-known scholars associated with this school include Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, and Jürgen Habermas, as well as Herbert Marcuse, Erich Fromm, and Walter Benjamin .
Other well-known scholars at the University of Frankfurt include the sociologist Karl Mannheim, the philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer, the philosophers of religion Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Buber, and Paul Tillich, the psychologist Max Wertheimer, and the sociologist Norbert Elias .
The University of Frankfurt has at times been considered liberal, or left-leaning, and has had a reputation for Jewish and Marxist (or even Jewish-Marxist) scholarship .
The university also has been influential in the natural sciences and medicine, with Nobel Prize winners including Max von Laue and Max Born, and breakthroughs such as the Stern–Gerlach experiment.
In recent years, the university has focused in particular on law, history, and economics, creating new institutes, such as the Institute for Law and Finance (ILF) and the Center for Financial Studies (CFS) .
One of the university's ambitions is to become Germany's leading university for finance and economics, given the school's proximity to one of Europe's financial centers.
On 30 May 2008, the House of Finance relocated to a new building designed by the architects Kleihues+Kleihues, following the style of the IG Farben Building.
The upper floors of the House of Finance building have several separate offices as well as shared office space for researchers and students.
The ground floor is open to the public and welcomes visitors with a spacious, naturally lit foyer that leads to lecture halls, seminar rooms, and the information center, a 24-hour reference library.
The floors, walls and ceiling of the foyer are decorated with a grid design that is continued throughout the entire building.
The Goethe Business School is a graduate business school at the university, established in 2004, part of the House of Finance at the Westend Campus.
The Chairman of the Board at GBS, Rolf E. Breuer, is former Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Bank .
The Deutsche Bank Prize in Financial Economics honors renowned researchers who have made influential contributions to the fields of finance and money and macroeconomics, and whose work has led to practical and policy-relevant results.
The award carries an endowment of €50,000, which is donated by the Stiftungsfonds Deutsche Bank im Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft.
After a specimen was found in a Lisbon museum, a survey was made on São Nicolau island in 1998 and some individuals were found there.
In 2004 a further population was discovered on Fogo island and further survey found it was widespread across the north of the island up to altitudes of about 1,300 m. On Santiago it can be found across the whole island, including in Barragem de Poilão, S. Jorge, Serra Malagueta, Rui Vaz and Tarrafal.
Although previously thought to be mainly restricted to woodland and scrub, it is now reported from a wider range of habitats including well-vegetated valleys, reedbeds, cultivated land and around water sources such as dams.
The population trend of the Cape Verde warbler is thought to be declining, probably because of habitat destruction and the droughts that have beset the islands.
With its restricted range and relatively small population, this bird has been assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as a vulnerable species.
Make Trax, known in Japan as , is a 1981 arcade game developed by Alpha Denshi and published by Kural Samno Electric in Japan.
Two fish – one yellow, the other light-blue – emerge from separate aquariums to pursue the paintbrush around the board, and if either of the fish succeeds in making contact with the paintbrush, the player loses one of three lives.
To use them, the player positions the paintbrush on its forward end, waits for either or both of the fish to approach, then pushes the paintbrush along the roller, attacking the fish.
The fish is removed from the maze for a few seconds, then returns to one of the aquariums and resumes its pursuit of the paintbrush.
A third character, appearing to be an animal, rolling tire, or invisible man depending on the level, may enter the maze and leave tracks that must be painted over in order for the board to be completed.
The player can limit the damage by running over the figure, which not only stops further tracks from being left but also awards the player a score, which progressively increases as more boards are cleared.
The Opéra de Monte-Carlo is an opera house, which is part of the Monte Carlo Casino located in the Principality of Monaco.
With the lack of cultural diversions available in Monaco in the 1870s, Prince Charles III, along with the Société des bains de mer, decided to include a concert hall as part of the casino.
The main public entrance to the hall was from the casino, while Charles III's private entrance was on the western side.
The Salle Garnier is much smaller, seating 524, compared to about 2,000 for the Palais Garnier, and unlike the Paris theatre, which was started in 1861 and only completed in 1875, the Salle Garnier was constructed in only eight and a half months.
Nevertheless, its ornate style was heavily influenced by that of the Palais Garnier, and many of the same artists worked on both theatres.
Although the Monte Carlo theatre was not originally intended for opera, it was soon used frequently for that purpose and was remodeled in 1898–99 by Henri Schmit, primarily in the stage area, to make it more suitable for opera.
With the influence of the first director, Jules Cohen (who was instrumental in bringing Adelina Patti) and the fortunate combination of Raoul Gunsbourg, the new director from 1892, and Princess Alice, the opera-loving American wife of Charles III's successor, Albert I, the company was thrust onto the world's opera community stage.
This production formed part of a long association between the company and Massenet and his operas, two of which were presented there posthumously.
Other famous twentieth-century singers to appear at Monte Carlo included Titta Ruffo, Geraldine Farrar, Mary Garden, Tito Schipa, Beniamino Gigli, Claudia Muzio, Georges Thill, Lily Pons, and Mary McCormic.
The first occasion was in 1966 for the celebration of centenary of Monte-Carlo hosted by Grace Kelly and Rainier III; the second was for the royal wedding of Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene.
The Opéra was transformed for the third time on 27 July 2013 to host the Love Ball, a fundraising gala event organised by the Naked Heart Foundation.
Viadrina European University (, hence its frequent appearance as European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) in English) is a university located at Frankfurt (Oder) in Brandenburg, Germany.
With 5,200 students — around 1,000 of whom come from Poland — and some 160 teaching staff, the Viadrina is one of Germany's smallest universities (only the University of Erfurt and Jacobs University Bremen have fewer students).
The foundation stone was laid already in 1498 at the site of a demolished synagogue; a foundation charter was issued by Pope Alexander VI in the same year.
One of its earliest chancellors, Bishop Georg von Blumenthal (1490–1550) was a vigorous opponent of the Protestant Reformation and did his utmost to expel Lutherans such as Jodocus Willich.
After the ruling House of Hohenzollern had converted to Calvinism, the 'Great Elector' Frederick William and his governor Prince John Maurice of Nassau-Siegen in 1655 founded the University of Duisburg, a Reformed college in the Duchy of Cleves.
While damages of the Thirty Years' War still had to be repaired, he had a botanical garden laid out next to the university premises.
In 1736 the eminent jurist Johann Jakob Moser was called to head the Faculty of Law at the university, but had to leave after three years due to his thoroughly Liberal ideas which were disliked by the Prussian king Frederick William I.
In the course of the Prussian Reforms during the Napoleonic Wars, the University of Frankfurt was moved to Breslau (present-day Wrocław, Poland) in 1811.
The merger included the transfer of the comprehensive library stocks, then with more than 28,000 volumes the second largest in Prussia after the Königsberg State and University Library collection, up the Oder river by boat.
It was hardly damaged in World War II and first used as a home for refugees from the former eastern territories.
Famous students at the historical Viadrina included the philosopher Ulrich von Hutten (1488–1523) and the theologian and political leader Thomas Müntzer (c.1489–1525), the musician Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714–1788), the physicians Marcus Elieser Bloch (1723–1799) and Johann Gottlieb Walter (1734–1818), Wilhelm (1767–1836) and Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859), as well as the poet Heinrich von Kleist (1777–1811).
A prime focus of the educational program is to attract students from throughout Europe in order to create a multinational student body.
The university's former president, Professor Gesine Schwan, ran for President of Germany both in 2004 and 2009, being narrowly defeated by Horst Köhler twice.
Zhang Zuolin () (19 March 18754 June 1928) was an influential Chinese bandit, soldier and warlord during the Warlord Era in China.
The warlord of Manchuria from 1916 to 1928, and the military dictator of the Republic of China in 1927 and 1928, he rose from banditry to power and influence, only to be thwarted by the excesses of his own ambition and his erstwhile backers, the Japanese Kwantung Army.
Backed by Japan, Zhang successfully influenced politics in the Republic of China during the early 1920s, invaded China proper in October 1924 during the Second Zhili–Fengtian War, and gained control of Peking, including the internationally recognized government, in April 1926.
His appointment as grand marshal of the Republic of China in June 1927 represented the height of his success, but was quickly followed by defeat: the economy of Manchuria, the basis of his power, was overtaxed by his adventurism and collapsed in the winter of 1927; and he was defeated by the National Revolutionary Army of the Kuomintang under Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in May 1928.
Leaving Beijing in early June to return to Manchuria, he was killed by a bomb planted by infuriated Kwantung officers on 4 June 1928; his brief reign presaged the end of Chinese warlordism by December.
Zhang was born in 1875 in Haicheng, a county in southern Fengtian province (modern Liaoning) in northeastern China, to poor parents.
He received little formal education, and the only non-military trade that he learned in his lifetime was a small amount of veterinary science.
When he became old enough to work, he got a job at a stable in an inn, where he became familiar with many bandit gangs operating in Manchuria at the time.
At the end of the Qing dynasty Zhang managed to have his men recognised as a regiment of the regular Chinese army, patrolling the borders of Manchuria and suppressing other bandit gangs.
The American surgeon Louis Livingston Seaman met Zhang during the Russo-Japanese War, and took several photographs of him and his troops as well as writing an account of his journey.
Yuan Shikai, operating out of Beijing, sent other northern military commanders a series of telegrams, advising them to oppose Sun's administration.
To gain Zhang's loyalty, Yuan sent him a large shipment of military provisions; Zhang sent Yuan an enormous (and costly) ginseng root in return to symbolize their friendship.
When it became obvious to Zhang that Yuan would usurp control of the central government, he endorsed Yuan's rule over that of either Sun or the Manchus.
In 1913 Yuan attempted to move Zhang away from Manchuria by having him transferred to Mongolia, but Zhang reminded Yuan of his successful efforts to keep local order, and refused.
In 1915, when it became clear that Yuan intended to declare himself emperor, Zhang was one of the few officials who supported him.
In March 1916, after many southern provinces revolted against Yuan Shikai's government, Zhang supported him but expelled a local military governor sent by Duan Qirui to replace him, with some support from local Japanese officers in the Kwantung Army.
After Yuan died in June 1916, the new central government named Zhang both military and civil governor of Liaoning, the essential components of a successful warlord.
Zhang, a pragmatist, had always remained cordial with Puyi, the last Emperor of China, and had sent him a gift of £1,600 for his wedding as a token of loyalty.
Zhang sought good relations with Puyi in order to increase his power and cement his legitimacy if a restoration was ever attempted.
In 1917 he plotted with Zhang Xun, a Qing-loyalist general, to restore the abdicated Puyi to the throne.. Zhang Zuolin proposed talking to the National Assembly about a possible restoration .
After Zhang Xun rebelled, Zhang Zuolin remained neutral and actually supported Duan Qirui in suppressing Zhang Xun after it became clear that Duan would win.
Because the governor of Jilin province had been linked to the attempt to restore the monarchy, Zhang had allies from Jilin successfully agitate for the governor's dismissal in Beijing.
He began to surround himself in luxury, building a chateau-style home near Shenyang, and had at least five wives (an accepted practice of any powerful or wealthy Chinese at the time).
His power rested on the Fengtian Army, which was composed of about 100,000 men in 1922 and almost triple that number by the end of the decade.
It had obtained large stocks of weapons left over from World War I and included naval units, an air force and an armaments industry.
Zhang integrated a large number of local militias into his army, and thus prevented Manchuria from falling into the chaos which reigned in China proper at the time.
Jilin province was ruled by a military governor, who was said to be a cousin of Zhang; Heilongjiang had its own regional warlord, who never displayed any ambitions outside the province.
Although Manchuria officially remained a part of the Republic of China, it became more or less an independent kingdom isolated from China by its geography and protected by the Fengtian Army.
In a time when the central government was barely able to pay the salaries of its civil servants; no more revenues were forwarded to Beijing.
In 1922 Zhang took control of the only rail link, the Beijing–Shenyang Railway, north of the Great Wall and also kept tax revenues from this railroad.
Only postal and customs revenues continued to be sent to Beijing, because they had been pledged to the victorious foreign powers after the failed Boxer Rebellion of 1900, and Zhang feared their intervention.
The line of the Chinese Eastern Railway, which was under Russian control, ran through northern Manchuria and the land immediately on either side of the tracks was considered to be Russian territory.
From 1917 to about 1924 the new Communist government in Moscow was having such difficulties establishing itself in Siberia that often it was not clear who was in charge of operating the railway on the Russian side.
The situation's precariousness was demonstrated by an outbreak of pneumonic plague in Hailar, a town at the western end of the Chinese Eastern Railway, in October 1920.
The soldiers freed some of their comrades who had been imprisoned as contacts, and they escaped to the mining town of Dalainor on the Amur River, where a quarter of the population died.
After the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-05 they had gained two important outposts in south Manchuria: The Guandong (Kwantung) Leased Territory consisted of a peninsula in the southernmost part of Manchuria.
Reaching northward from the colony, the South Manchurian Railway passed through Shenyang (referred to as Mukden by the Japanese), linking up with the Chinese Eastern Railway in Changchun.
This army maintained 7,000-14,000 men in Manchuria, tolerating and being tolerated by the Fengtian Army, although Zhang kept up a war of words, playing on anti-Japanese sentiments in the Chinese public.
At the beginning of the 1920s Zhang transformed Manchuria from an unimportant frontier region to one of the most prosperous parts of China.
He had inherited a financially weak provincial governmentin 1917 Fengtian faced ten outstanding loans from foreign-controlled consortia and banks totaling over 12 million yuan.
Zhang chose Wang Yongjiang, who had served as head of a regional tax office, for the task of solving Fengtian's financial problems.
A number of currencies were circulating in the province, as was the custom in China, and the paper notes issued by the provincial government had experienced a steady depreciation in value.
Wang decided to switch to a silver standard and set the initial value of the new silver yuan equal to the Japanese gold yen, which was accepted throughout Korea and Manchuria.
Much to the surprise of the Chinese, the new currency even gained in value against the gold yen, although Japanese businessmen claimed that it was not backed up by sufficient silver reserves.
Wang then used the newly gained credibility to introduce another note, the Fengtian dollar, which was not convertible into silver anymore.
Because of his former job, he was well acquainted with the abuses of the system and introduced a number of controls.
From 1918 revenues rose steadily, and by 1921 all outstanding loans had been repaid and there was even a budget surplus.
In 1919 France had left Renault FT tanks in Vladivostok after the joint Allied intervention, and Zhang Zuolin soon incorporated them into the Manchurian Army.
In the summer of 1920, Zhang made a foray into North China on the other side of the Great Wall, trying to topple Duan Qirui, the leading warlord of Beijing.
In December 1921, Zhang visited Beijing; at his request, the entire cabinet, led by Jin Yunpeng, resigned, leaving him free to appoint a new government.
Now a figure of national prominence, he quickly came into conflict with Wu Peifu, a divisional commander of the North China Zhili clique, which was based in the province of Zhili that surrounded Beijing.
In the spring of 1922 Zhang personally took the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Fengtian Army, and on 19 April his forces entered China proper.
On 4 May the Fengtian Army were seriously defeated by the Zhili Army in what came to be known as the First Zhili–Fengtian War.
Zhili forces were in control of Beijing, Zhang's image as a national leader had been destroyed and he reacted by declaring Manchuria independent from Beijing in May 1922.
Zhang gave in, lifted martial law and agreed to a separation of civil and military administration in all of the three provinces.
As an incentive, they were made eligible for reduced fares on all Chinese-owned railways in Manchuria, received funds to build a dwelling and were promised total ownership after five years of continuous occupation.
An especially ambitious project was to break the Japanese monopoly on cotton textiles by creating a large mill, which, much to Japan's sorrow, succeeded.
In 1924 Wang amalgamated three regional banks into the Official Bank of the Three Eastern Provinces, and became its General Director.
After the disastrous defeat of 1922, Zhang had reorganized his Fengtian Army, started a training program and bought new equipment, including mobile radios and machine guns.
By August 1925 the Fengtian Army controlled four large provinces within the Great Wall (Zhili—where Beijing was located, but not Beijing itself—Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui).
However, the military situation was so unstable that Sun Chuanfang, a Zhili clique warlord whose sphere of influence extended along the Yangtze, managed to push back the Fengtian Army again.
An extremely serious crisis erupted when, in November 1925, Guo Songling revolted and ordered his troops to turn back and march on Shenyang.
The Japanese brought in reinforcements to protect their interests in Manchuria, but Zhang managed to put down the revolt in December.
Even more seriously, Wang Yongjiang, now the civil governor of Manchuria, realized that his work of nine years had been in vain.
Before his death from kidney failure on 1 November 1927, Wang, totally disillusioned, did not reply when Zhang asked him to return, severing all connections with Zhang.
With the loss of his financial expert, Zhang took drastic action: in March 1926 he appointed a new governor, whose only job was to supply the Fengtian Army with large amounts of money.
The best indicator of Manchuria's economic decline was the value of the Fengtian dollar (yuan), which had started on parity with the Japanese gold yen: by February 1928, 40 yuan was equivalent to 1 gold yen.
Instead, a year later, with Kuomintang forces rapidly closing in, he combined his military forces with those of the other warlords, including Zhang Zongchang and Sun Chuanfang, and fought against the Northern Expedition.
At the same time, he proclaimed himself Grand Marshal of the Republic of China, and thus led China's internationally recognized government as a dictator.
However, the Nationalists led by Chiang Kai-shek attacked his forces and in May 1928 the Fengtian Army had to retreat towards Beijing.
In addition, Japan applied pressure on Zhang to leave Beijing and return to Manchuria, and underscored this by bringing reinforcements to Tianjin.
In what came to be known as the Huanggutun incident, Col. Kōmoto Daisaku, an officer of the Japanese Kwantung Army, planted a bomb along a railroad bridge, which exploded when Zhang's train passed under it; mortally wounded, Zhang died a few hours later.
At the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal in 1946, Okada Keisuke testified that Zhang was murdered because the Kwantung Army was infuriated by his failure to stop Chiang's army, which was backed by Moscow; Tokyo's strategic rival.
The government-in-exile would not last very long: by July, Beiyang reached an armistice with the KMT; and by the end of the year, the Northeast Flag Replacement occurred, nominally reunifying China under the Kuomintang banner.
Zhang had two wives and 14 children (8 sons and 6 daughters), among which include his son and successor, Zhang Xueliang, as well as Zhang Xueming.
A pragmatist, Zhang supported different movements depending on what would gain him the most power and legitimacy, and even supported the restoration of the Qing dynasty in 1917.
He was the first-choice captain of the Finland national team between 1996 and 2008 in an international career that ran from 1989 to 2010.
Litmanen is widely considered to be Finland's greatest football player of all time He was chosen as the best Finnish player of the last 50 years by the Football Association of Finland in the UEFA Jubilee Awards in November 2003.
During his club career, Litmanen represented Reipas, HJK, MyPa and Lahti in Finland, and Ajax, Barcelona, Liverpool, Hansa Rostock and Malmö FF abroad.
Once considered one of the best attacking midfielders in the world, he became the first Finnish footballing superstar while playing for Ajax in the mid-1990s, winning the Champions League in 1995, the peak year of his career.
His later career was marred by injuries, and he was unable to repeat the success of his Ajax years either at Barcelona or Liverpool, often finding himself on the bench, despite some impressive performances for the latter.
A year later, he joined MyPa, where he was coached by Harri Kampman, who later introduced him to his agent, the late Heikki Marttinen.
Litmanen did not win any medals in the Finnish league, but he did win the Finnish Cup with MyPa in July 1992 in a 2–0 win over FF Jaro in the final at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium.
A number of European clubs, including Barcelona, Leeds United and PSV, had shown an interest in him, but in the end it was Ajax that bought him.
The Ajax manager Louis van Gaal was apparently not overly impressed with him, but the team physiotherapist suggested using him as a stand-in for Dennis Bergkamp, who was injured at the time.
Van Gaal liked what he saw, and knowing that Bergkamp was about to leave for Internazionale, he announced that Litmanen would be Bergkamp's successor, something that people in Litmanen's native Finland found difficult to believe.
This turned out to be true, however, and he inherited from Bergkamp the famous number 10 shirt, which is often given to playmakers.
He went on to score 26 goals in the 1993–94 season, becoming the league's top scorer, and leading Ajax to the title.
Litmanen was one of the star players of Van Gaal's team that won three consecutive Dutch championships and reached the UEFA Champions League final twice in a row.
From the beginning of the 1994–95 season to the middle of the 1995–96 season, Ajax went undefeated in both the Eredivisie (a run of 52 games) and the Champions League (19 games).
When Ajax beat Milan in the 1995 Champions League final, Litmanen became the first Finnish player to win the European Cup/Champions League.
In 1995–96, he was the Champions League top scorer with nine goals, including the equaliser in the final against Juventus, which Ajax lost on penalties.
In 1995, he also won the Intercontinental Cup against Grêmio and came third in the voting for the Ballon d'Or (European Footballer of the Year), having finished eighth the previous year.
Litmanen spent seven years in Amsterdam, winning four Dutch championships and three KNVB Cups, and scored a total of 129 goals, 91 of them in the league.
He is the club's top scorer in European competition with 26 goals in 54 matches (including two goals scored in the 2002–03 season).
Litmanen has the honour of being one of just three players presented in a special video featurette at the Ajax Museum.
In 1999, Litmanen was reunited with Louis van Gaal at Barcelona, one of several former Ajax players recruited by Van Gaal in his time as manager.
Litmanen also failed to adapt to his new conditions, and he was one of the players dropped by Van Gaal that winter.
After an unsuccessful season, Van Gaal was replaced by Lorenzo Serra Ferrer, and Litmanen was frozen out of the team, losing the number 10 shirt to Rivaldo, although he remained at the club until January 2001, when he moved to Liverpool on a free transfer.
He wanted to wear the number seven shirt as worn by his boyhood hero Kenny Dalglish, but this had already been taken by Vladimír Šmicer.
Litmanen made a good start at Liverpool but broke his wrist playing for Finland against England at Anfield in late March 2001 and missed the rest of the season.
The following season, he was used sparingly by Houllier but did score goals against Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Fulham in the Premier League and against Dynamo Kyiv, Roma and Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.
Litmanen was again given permission to move clubs for free after the 2001–02 season, having scored a total of 9 goals in 43 official matches during his one and a half seasons at the club.
He was one of the key players as Ajax reached the quarter-finals of the 2002–03 Champions League, but he continued to be plagued by injuries, and much of the following season was once again spent on the sidelines.
Litmanen, however, moved to German Bundesliga strugglers Hansa Rostock in January 2005, but he was unable to prevent them being relegated, which ended his stint at the club.
Litmanen joined the Swedish club Malmö FF in July 2005 in an attempt to help them qualify for the Champions League.
He decided to continue his career with Malmö in 2006 but was again sidelined with a number of injuries for much of the season.
After an operation to repair a damaged ankle during the winter break, Malmö decided to extend his contract over the 2007 season, but an ankle injury suffered in June 2007 forced Litmanen to cancel it.
In January 2008, Litmanen received a ten-day trial invitation from Fulham under former Finland manager Roy Hodgson, and was signed on 31 January 2008 together with fellow countryman Toni Kallio.
Litmanen eventually made his debut for Fulham in a reserve-team match against Tottenham on 31 March 2008, but he was released in May of the same year without playing a single game for the first team.
On 8 August 2008, it was announced that Litmanen would join his former club Lahti of the Finnish Premier Division for the remainder of the 2008 season.
Although he only played 34 minutes in his first match, he scored twice and provided the passes for two other goals.
He played an important role in helping Lahti to finish third in the league and qualify for Europe for the first time in the club's history.
Litmanen scored his first European goal for Lahti in a 2–0 win against Gorica in the second qualifying round of the Europa League, with the final aggregate score being 2–1.
On 23 October 2010, he scored his 50th Veikkausliiga goal, but this happened in a 3–2 defeat against TPS and didn't stop the club from being relegated to Ykkönen.
On 20 April 2011, Litmanen signed a one-year contract with the reigning Finnish champions HJK at age 40, making him one of the few footballers to play at professional level in four different decades (1980s–2010s).
He played in this role on 24 September 2011 in the Finnish Cup final against KuPS, coming on in the 80th minute when the score was 0–0.
During the second half of extra time, he scored a spectacular half volley to make it 1–0 to HJK in the 108th minute.
He commented that if he plays such a cup final every 19 years, he won't be playing many more in his career.
As of that day, Litmanen had played 18 matches for HJK that season, and they had won every single match in which he had been on the field.
On 29 October 2011, Litmanen celebrated his 200th league match by giving three assists in HJK's 5–2 home win over Haka.
Litmanen made his Finland debut on 22 October 1989 against Trinidad and Tobago, and scored his first goal on 16 May 1991 against Malta.
Litmanen served as Finland's captain from 1996 to 2008, and was arguably their key player for more than a decade, helping the team to many unexpected victories against higher ranked opposition.
Litmanen earned his 100th cap on 25 January 2006 against South Korea, one of only four Finns to have reached such a milestone, the others being Ari Hjelm, Sami Hyypiä and Jonatan Johansson.
When he played for Finland against South Korea on 19 January 2010, he achieved the distinction of having represented Finland in four different decades.
On 17 November 2010, Litmanen became the oldest player ever to score for Finland – and also the oldest player overall to score a goal in the qualifying stages for the UEFA European Championship – when he netted a penalty in an 8–0 win over San Marino, which proved to be his last international match.
In February 2011, the sports news programme Urheiluruutu of the Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE interviewed two of Litmanen's former teammates about the possibility of his working for Ajax when he decides to end his playing career.
He served as a TV pundit for YLE during Euro 1992, Euro 2012, World Cup 2014 and Euro 2016, and, during the latter, also wrote comment and analysis for the newspaper Ilta-Sanomat.
On 10 October 2010, Litmanen became the first Finnish team sport player to be honoured with a statue: it stands at Kisapuisto (Lahti) where he started his career in the 1970s.
The band has released eight full-length studio albums, two live records, and one compilation, and has been a formative influence on the skate punk subgenre.
These records achieved six-digit record sales while the band also toured in support of popular groups like Green Day and Bad Religion.
Founding members and twin brothers Brent and Marc Belke helped create the band's melodic hardcore punk sound with dual guitar work before their respective departures in 1998 and 2005.
Beginning in 2014, the band's lineup has included returning bassist Dave Bacon, a member from 1985 to 1987, and guitarists Randy Steffes and Kurt Robertson; Batikão Est began serving as the group's drummer in 2016.
Simm returned to his home of Winnipeg, while Chinn relocated to Vancouver and led the short-lived bands The Wongs and Little Joe.
The Belkes joined Chinn, Card, and new bassist Ken Fleming (formerly of the Winnipeg-based skate punk band The Unwanted) in Vancouver in June 1992.
Suffering from substance abuse problems, Card was replaced in October by Dave Rees, who had played in the Wheat Chiefs and former SNFU tour mates Broken Smile.
In 1993, the band signed a three-record deal with Epitaph Records, an independent punk rock label on the cusp of mainstream success through releases from groups like The Offspring and Rancid.
This era found them playing increasingly melodic music, influenced by new directions in the third-wave punk sound that they themselves had helped to develop.
They hoped that the record would capitalize on the crossover success of other recent third-wave punk bands, but it did not chart.
The band also recorded studio sessions with guest drummer Trevor MacGregor (of Treble Charger), which would later appear on their seventh studio album.
He was replaced for a single gig by Matt Warhurst (of Ocean 3 and Jakalope), until Thompson departed and the band entered a two-year hiatus.
SNFU resumed in May 2003 with Marc Belke, Chinn, MacGregor, Warhurst, and producer Pete Wonsiak completing the tracking for the new record.
With Fleming playing guitar, they recruited bassist Bryan McCallum (of Karen Foster) and drummer Chad Mareels (of Fleming's former group Dog Eat Dogma) to complete the band.
I’ll fucking play them ‘til I die.” In 2008, Denis Nowoselski replaced McCallum, while Shane Smith later returned to replace Mareels.
Produced by the Canadian company Prairie Coast Films and directed by Sean Patrick Shaul, the film focused on Chinn's life, including his drug abuse and schizophrenia.
It featured interviews with Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys, Brendan Canning of Broken Social Scene, Corb Lund of the Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans and The Smalls, and Joey Keithley of D.O.A.
Shortly thereafter, the band became a five-piece for the first time in 12 years with the addition of guitarist and harmony vocalist Sean Colig (of Minority, Savannah, and SideSixtySeven).
The band embarked upon its first tour of Japan and a subsequent Canadian tour, with guest drummer Junior Kittlitz replacing the ailing Card.
Ultimately released in November, the new record was their first release in nine years and their first without founding member Marc Belke.
A new incarnation of the band was assembled in February, when Chinn was joined by returning bassist Dave Bacon, guitarists Kurt Robertson (of The Real McKenzies) and Randy Steffes (a former sound engineer and road manager for SNFU, The Real McKenzies, and Green Day), and drummer Adrian White (of Strapping Young Lad and Front Line Assembly).
Further Canadian touring was planned for November, which would include the returns of Curtis Creager and Ted Simm, but the tour was ultimately canceled.
Basque drummer Batikão Est (of Estricalla) played with the group during its 2016 and 2017 tours of Europe and Canada, while Oliver remained with the group for a brief and aborted studio session in 2016.
In November, BeatRoute journalist Sean Orr interviewed Chinn, who stated that he had been diagnosed medically to have only one month to live.

After serving as commander-in-chief of the British forces in China during the First Opium War, he became Commander-in-Chief, India and led the British forces in action against the Marathas defeating them decisively at the conclusion of the Gwalior Campaign and then commanded the troops that defeated the Sikhs during both the First Anglo-Sikh War and the Second Anglo-Sikh War.
Born the son of Lieutenant Colonel George Gough and Letitia Gough (née Bunbury) of Lisnavagh, Gough was commissioned into the Limerick Militia on 7 August 1793.
He transferred to a locally raised regiment on 7 August 1794 and, having been promoted to lieutenant in the 119th Regiment of Foot on 11 October 1794, transferred to the 78th (Highlanders) Regiment of Foot on 6 June 1795.
He took part in the capture of the Cape of Good Hope in September 1795 during the French Revolutionary Wars and transferred to the 87th (Royal Irish Fusiliers) Regiment of Foot in December 1795, before being deployed with his regiment in the West Indies and taking part in the expedition to Dutch Guiana in 1799.
After returning to England he was promoted to captain in the 2nd Battalion of his regiment on 25 June 1803 and to major in the same battalion on 25 June 1803.
Gough joined Sir Arthur Wellesley in Spain in January 1809 and commanded the 2nd Battalion of his regiment at the Battle of Talavera, during which he was wounded in July 1809 during the Peninsular War.
Promoted to brevet lieutenant colonel on 30 March 1811, he also took part in the Siege of Tarifa in January 1812, the Battle of Vitoria in June 1813 and the Battle of Nivelle, during which he was again badly wounded in November 1813.
He was promoted to the substantive rank of lieutenant colonel on 25 May 1815, appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath on 4 June 1815 and appointed a Knight Bachelor on 16 March 1816.
Promoted to colonel on 12 August 1819, Gough became commanding officer of the 22nd Regiment of Foot in County Tipperary where he also served as a local magistrate.
He was promoted to major general on 22 July 1830 and advanced to Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath on 18 September 1831.
At the outset of the First Opium War in March 1839 he was appointed commander-in-chief of the British forces in China.
He led the assault at the Battle of Canton in May 1841, and having been promoted to the local rank of lieutenant general in India and in China on 18 June 1841, he also led the assault at the Battle of Amoy in August 1841.
Advanced to Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath on 14 October 1841 and promoted to the substantive rank of lieutenant general on 23 November 1841, he commanded the British forces at the Battle of Chapu in May 1842 and at the Battle of Chinkiang in July 1842.
He became a baronet on 1 December 1842 and was promoted to the local rank of full general in India on 3 March 1843.
In August 1843 Gough became Commander-in-Chief, India, and in December 1843 he led the British forces in action against the Mahrattas defeating them decisively at the conclusion of the Gwalior Campaign.
He also commanded the troops at the Battle of Mudki in December 1845, at the Battle of Ferozeshah also in December 1845 and at the Battle of Sobraon in February 1846 during the First Anglo-Sikh War.
Gough was elevated to the peerage as Baron Gough of Chinkiang in China and of Maharajpore and the Sutlej in the East Indies on 7 April 1846.
The Second Anglo-Sikh War started in 1848, and again Gough took to the field commanding in person at the Battle of Ramnagar in November 1848 and at the Battle of Chillianwala in January 1849.
He was criticised for relying on frontal assault by infantry rather than using artillery and was replaced as commander-in-chief by Sir Charles Napier but, before news of his replacement had arrived, Gough achieved a decisive victory over the Sikhs in the Battle of Gujarat in February 1849.
He returned to Ireland and was advanced in the peerage as Viscount Gough of Goojerat in the Punjab and of the City of Limerick on 4 June 1849.
He retired from active service later that year and was promoted to the substantive rank of full general on 20 June 1854.
Gough also served as colonel of the 99th Regiment of Foot, as colonel of the 87th (Royal Irish Fusiliers) Regiment of Foot and later as colonel of the Royal Horse Guards.
Proposals for a statue to Gough began in 1869 but were rejected by Dublin Corporation, including sites in Carlisle Bridge, Foster Place and Westmoreland Street.
An equestrian statue of Gough by John Foley was ultimately erected outside the city, in Dublin's Phoenix Park in 1880 but, after being repeatedly vandalised in the 1940s and 1950s, it was moved to Chillingham Castle in Northumberland in 1990.
In honour of Field Marshal Hugh Viscount Gough, K.P., G.C.B., G.C.S.I., an illustrious Irishman, whose achievements in the Peninsular War, in China, and in India, have added lustre to the military glory of his country, which he faithfully served for seventy five years.
This statue [cast from cannon taken by troops under his command and granted by Parliament for the purpose] is erected by friends and comrades.
The cannon referred to were captured by Gough in China and India and yielded 15 tons of gun-metal for the statue.
As the 1st Viscount Gough, he set down a family seat near Gort at Lough Cutra Castle, County Galway, Ireland, when purchased by him in 1852.
Gough's first cousins included Thomas Bunbury of Lisnavagh, County Carlow, MP for Carlow, and Jane McClintock of Drumcar, mother of the 1st Baron Rathdonnell.
Although Marsanne is mostly made into a dry wine, it is commonly made into a sweet wine in Valais, Switzerland and some producers in the Rhône have also experimented with making a dessert-style straw wine with Marsanne.
Outside the Northern Rhône region, Marsanne is also found in Savoie and in the Languedoc where it is often blended with Viognier.
The Victorian vineyard of Tahbilk has Marsanne vines which date back to 1927 and are some of the oldest in the world.
In Switzerland, Marsanne is grown in Valais where it is locally known as Ermitage and made into both sweet wines and dry steely white wines with high alcohol levels.
In California, the Rhone Rangers movement introduced Marsanne to more consumers in wines that are often blended with Roussanne and Viognier.
Sommeliers have found that the vintage in relation to the climate has exaggerated effects on Marsanne blends in the United States.
In Michigan Domaine Berrien Cellars is the sole member of the Rhone Rangers and pioneered the planting of Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier, and Syrah in 1992.
Domaine Berrien Cellars credits the success of their award-winning Marsanne and Oak Marsanne varietals to the unique microclimate of the Lake Michigan Shore AVA.
Some Australian winemakers prefer to let the grape hang longer on the vine to increase the alcohol level of the wine and its aging potential.
As Marsanne ages, the wine takes on an even darker color and the flavors can become more complex and concentrated with an oily, honeyed texture.
Marsanne is also known under the synonyms Avilleran, Avilleron, Champagne Piacentina, Ermitage, Ermitage Blanc, Ermitazh, Grosse Roussette, Hermitage, Johannisberg, Marsan Belyi, Marsanne Blanche, Marzanne, Metternich, Rousseau, Roussette de Saint Peray, Roussette Grosse, White Hermitage, and Zrmitazh.
Each geomantic figure represents a certain formed state of the world or the mind, and can be interpreted in various ways based upon the query put forth and the method used to generate the figures.
The figures bear superficial resemblance to the ba gua, the eight trigrams used in the I Ching, a Chinese classic text.
Each line represents one of the four classical elements: from top to bottom, the lines represent fire, air, water, and earth.
When a line has a single point, the element is said to be active; otherwise, with two points, the element is passive.
Because there are four lines, and since each line can be either active or passive, there are 2, or 16, different figures.
Each figure can be said to have a ruling element, whereby that element's energy and manifestations correlates most closely to the figure itself.
With the exception of Populus, the ruling element for each figure is always represented as active (a single point in the corresponding line).
For figures with only one active element, that element by default is its ruling element; other combinations of active and passive elements require more introspection to assign rulerships.
Populus, consisting of all passive lines, is ruled by Water by its nature of being entirely passive and taking on the reflective qualities of water whenever an outside force acts upon it.
While the elements just described are from the geomantic tradition, another set of elemental assignments are used based on the figures' astrological connections.
The geomantic element is said to reflect the nature of a figure when viewed alone; the astrological element reflects its nature when acting with other figures.
The quality of a figure represents its duration of effect or motion, such that a figure with a stable quality will represent a long-term situation or that a certain object remains where it was left, while a mobile figure represents a transient effect upon the real world.
Entering figures have the stable quality, while the exiting figures have the mobile quality; when an entering figure is rotated upside-down, it becomes an exiting figure, and vice versa.
However, based on this classification, the four figures that point in both directions regardless of rotation have the quality of both entering and exiting, and must be evaluated in terms of its neighbors or generating figures.
In the Middle Ages, when geomancy was introduced to Europe where astrology was the foremost occult science, the geomantic figures obtained astrological correspondences to the Zodiac and to the planets.
Based on their zodiacal correspondences, astrologers assigned new elemental rulerships (henceforth known as outer elemental rulers, whereas the previous elemental assignments will be known as inner elemental rulers) based on the element of their zodiacal ruler.
The exceptions to the planetary rulerships were the figures Cauda Draconis and Caput Draconis, which were assigned to the northern and southern lunar nodes instead.
Traditionally, the energies and manifestations of the planets were different based on their declination or motion; for the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, the diurnal energy represents the planet in direct motion, while the nocturnal energy refers to the retrograde motion of the planets.
For the Moon, this was illustrated by the waxing or waning periods of the Moon, respectively; the Sun's figures were based on the Sun during the day (or northern declination) or during the night (southern declination).
The zodiacal rulerships followed from the diurnal or nocturnal planetary rulership: nocturnal figures are assigned earth and water signs, while diurnal figures are assigned fire and air signs.
The North Node is assigned, by Gerard of Cremona, to Sagittarius and the South Node to Virgo (for the sake of finding the ascendant in astrological traditions of geomancy).
Once the zodiacal rulerships were agreed upon, all the following correspondences followed upon the geomantic figures, including what part of the body they each ruled over, different countries, planetary hours, body and character types, and so on.
The structure of the figures themselves can be directly translated into binary numbers, such as those used by modern computers, with passive lines representing the numeral 0 (or logic low) and active lines representing the numeral 1 (or logic high).
The lines that have different numbers of points results in a line with one point (logic high), and lines with the same number of points results in a line with two points (logic low).
The result of adding two figures is usually interpreted to mean the interaction between the two parties (the parent figures) or the present situation (when one parent represents the past and the other parent represents the future).
Reversion, or rotation, of figures is the process that replaces the fire line of a figure with the earth line, the air line with the water line, and vice versa.
Not all figures have a unique reversion: the figures that are neither entering nor exiting revert into themselves, and the other figures with even points revert into their inverted figure.
Regarding the outcome of the situation being divined, it is neutral, unless change by itself infers a positive or negative result.

The figure can mean that the outcome is based on the people of the situation, or represents a large number of people or peers.
It refers to a gathering or assembly of people and is very neutral, for though there may be a great deal of movement within the crowd, there is very little effect on the crowd as a whole.
Its planetary ruler is Chashmodai, its Intelligence is the Intelligence of Intelligences Malkah beTarshishim ve-ad Ruachoth Shechalim, and its Spirit is the Spirit of Spirits is Shad Barshemoth ha-Shartathan.
This is a medium-sized warbler, similar to in size to the barred warbler, with a slightly longer bill and shorter tail.
She was born in Leedey, Oklahoma, the only child of music teacher Elizabeth Davner, and James Claude Hood, who worked in a bank.
Just after her third birthday she was taken to New York City, where she was seen by Joe Rivkin, a casting director for Hal Roach Studios, who arranged a screen test.
She appeared in her own nightclub act at the Coconut Grove in Los Angeles, the Copacabana in New York, and the Sahara Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
An autopsy disclosed that Hood had contracted acute hepatitis from a blood transfusion given during the operation which then led to her death.
Voters were asked two questions regarding the relationship between Taiwan (ROC) and China (PRC), and how Taiwan should relate to China.
The initiation of this referendum by President Chen Shui-bian came under intense criticism from China because it was seen as an exercise for an eventual vote on Taiwanese independence.
Over 90% of voters approved the two questions, but the results were invalid due to insufficient voter turnout, which was below 50%.
On 29 November 2003, President Chen Shui-bian announced that given that the PRC had missiles aimed at Taiwan, he had the power under the defensive referendum clause to order a referendum on sovereignty, although he did not do so under pressure by USA.
But instead, he proposed a referendum to ask the PRC to remove the hundreds of missiles it has aimed at Taiwan.
The vetting of the referendum bill appeared to alarm Beijing which issued more sharp threats of a strong reaction if a referendum bill passed which would allow a vote on sovereignty issues such as the territory and flag of the ROC.
The final bill that was passed by the Legislative Yuan on 27 November 2003 did not contain restrictions on the content of any referendums, but did include very high hurdles for referendums on constitutional issues.
The bill also contained a provision for a defensive referendum to be called if the sovereignty of the ROC was under threat.
The Pan-Blue Coalition made it clear that it was in favour of the proposals, but believed that the referendum process itself was illegal and a prelude to more controversial action.
As a consequence, the Pan-Blue Coalition asked its supporters not to vote at all in the referendum, with the intention of having the number of valid votes fall below the 50% voter threshold necessary to have a valid referendum.
Because of this strategy, a major controversy was the format of the referendum, specifically as to whether the referendum questions would be on the same ballots as the Presidency.
After much debate, the CEC decided that there would be a U-shaped queue in which people would first cast a ballot for President and then cast a separate ballot for each of the two questions.
Near the end of the campaign, the CEC issued a number of conflicting and constantly changing directives as to what would constitute a valid ballot.
He originally had a mouthful of fearsome teeth, but they were removed at the suggestion of singer Anne Shelton to avoid scaring children in the audience.
In spite of the fact that Hall was a staunch Oldham Athletic fan, during the 1957–58 English football season, Hall took Lenny to the Den (old) which was then the home of Millwall F.C.
Kazi Nazrul Islam (, ; 25 May 189929 August 1976) was a Bengali poet, writer, musician, anti-colonial revolutionary from the Indian subcontinent; and the national poet of Bangladesh.
Popularly known as Nazrul, he produced a large body of poetry and music with themes that included religious devotion and rebellion against oppression.
Born in a Bengali Muslim Kazi family, Nazrul Islam received religious education and as a young man worked as a muezzin at a local mosque.
After serving in the British Indian Army in the Middle East (Mesopotamian campaign) during World War I, Nazrul established himself as a journalist in Calcutta.
Nazrul was born on Thursday 25 May 1899 in the village of Churulia, Asansol Sadar, Paschim Bardhaman district of the Bengal Presidency (now in West Bengal, India).
Nazrul studied at a maktab and madrasa, run by a mosque and a dargah respectively, where he studied the Quran, Hadith, Islamic philosophy, and theology.
His father died in 1908 and at the age of ten, Nazrul took his father's place as a caretaker of the mosque to support his family.
He worked and travelled with them, learning to act, as well as writing songs and poems for the plays and musicals.
Through his work and experiences, Nazrul began studying Bengali and Sanskrit literature, as well as Hindu scriptures such as the Puranas.
In school, he was influenced by his teacher, a Jugantar activist, Nibaran Chandra Ghatak, and began a lifelong friendship with fellow author Sailajananda Mukhopadhyay, who was his classmate.
Later he took jobs as a cook at Wahid's, a well-known bakery of the region, and at a tea stall in the town of Asansol.
Amongst other subjects, Nazrul studied Bengali, Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian literature and Hindustani classical music under teachers who were impressed by his dedication and skill.
Nazrul studied up to grade10 but did not appear for the matriculation pre-test examination; instead in 1917, he joined the British Indian Army at the age of eighteen.
He had two primary motivations for joining the British Indian Army: first, a youthful desire for adventure and, second, an interest in the politics of the time.
Attached to the 49th Bengal Regiment, he was posted to the Karachi Cantonment, where he wrote his first prose and poetry.
Although he never saw active fighting, he rose in rank from corporal to havildar (sergeant), and served as quartermaster for his battalion.
During this period, Nazrul read extensively the works of Rabindranath Tagore and Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, as well as the Persian poets Hafez, Omar Khayyam, and Rumi.
Nazrul grew close to other young Muslim writers, while working at the Bengali Muslim Literary Society, including Mohammad Mozammel Haq, Kazi Abdul Wadud, and Muhammad Shahidullah.
He was a regular at the social clubs for Calcutta's writers, poets, and intellectuals such as the Gajendar Adda and the Bharatiya Adda.
Nazrul did not have the formal education of Rabindranath and as a result his poems did not follow the literary practices established by Rabindranath.
Nazrul explores the different forces at work in a rebel, the destroyer, and the preserver who is able to express rage as well as beauty and sensitivity.
He began a 40-day fast to protest mistreatment by the British jail superintendent, breaking his fast more than a month later and eventually being released from prison in December 1923.
Nazrul became active in encouraging people to agitate against British rule, and joined the Bengal state unit of the Indian National Congress.
Along with Muzaffar Ahmed, Nazrul also helped organise the Sramik Praja Swaraj Dal (Workers and Peasants Party), a socialist political party committed to national independence and the service of the working class.
During his visit to Comilla in 1921, Nazrul met a young Bengali Hindu woman, Pramila Devi, with whom he fell in love, and they married on 25 April 1924.
In what his contemporaries regarded as one of his greatest flairs of creativity, Nazrul vastly contributed in profusely enriching ghazals in Bengali, transforming a form of poetry written mainly in Persian and Urdu.
A significant impact of Nazrul's work in Bengal was that it made Bengali Muslims more comfortable with the Bengali arts, which used to be dominated by Bengali Hindus.
The songs written and music composed by him were broadcast on radio stations across India, including on the Indian Broadcasting Company.
The complete text of 2,260 is known, and the first lines of 2,872 have been collected, but according to musicologist Karunamaya Goswami, it is popularly believed that the total is much higher.
He wrote that the Prophets had become property like cattle but they should instead be treated like light that is for all men.
Nazrul has been compared to William Butler Yeats by Serajul Islam Choudhury, Bengali literary critic and professor emeritus at the University of Dhaka, for being the first Muslim poet to create imagery and symbolism of Muslim historical figures such as Qasim ibn Hasan, Ali, Umar, Kamal Pasha, and Muhammad.
His condemnation of extremism and mistreatment of women provoked condemnation from Muslim and Hindu fundamentalists who opposed his liberal views on religion.
Pramila gave birth to two more sonsSabyasachi in 1928 and Aniruddha in 1931but Nazrul remained grief-stricken and aggrieved for a long time.
He also composed many songs of invocation to Lord Shiva and the goddesses Lakshmi and Saraswati and on the love of Radha and Krishna.
Although a Muslim, he named his sons with both Hindu and Muslim names: Krishna Mohammad, Arindam Khaled (Bulbul), Kazi Sabyasachi and Kazi Aniruddha.
From the time of his return to Kolkata until he fell ill in 1941, Nazrul composed more than 2,600 songs, many of which have been lost.
To provide for his wife's medical treatment, he mortgaged the royalties of his gramophone records and literary works for 400 rupees.
On hearing about the death of Rabindranath Tagore on 8 August 1941, a shocked Nazrul composed two poems in Tagore's memory.
He received treatment under homeopathy as well as Ayurveda, but little progress was achieved before mental dysfunction intensified and he was admitted to a mental asylum in 1942.
The examining doctors said he had received poor care, and Dr. Hans Hoff, a leading neurosurgeon in Vienna, diagnosed that Nazrul was suffering from Pick's disease.
On 24 May 1972, the newly independent nation of Bangladesh brought Nazrul to live in Dhaka with the consent of the Government of India.
In 1974. his youngest son, Kazi Aniruddha, a guitarist, died, and Nazrul soon succumbed to his long-standing ailments on 29 August 1976.
In accordance with a wish he had expressed in one of his poems, he was buried beside a mosque on the campus of the University of Dhaka.
Tens of thousands of people attended his funeral; Bangladesh observed two days of national mourning, and the parliament of India observed a minute of silence in his honour.
According to literary critic Serajul Islam Choudhury, Nazrul's poetry is characterised by an abundant use of rhetorical devices, which he employed to convey conviction and sensuousness.
His works have often been criticized for egotism, but his admirers counter that they carry more a sense of self-confidence than ego.
Nazrul Sanskriti Parishad is a cultural organisation in India that has been promoting the work of Kazi Nazrul Islam since 2000.
Nazrul was awarded the Jagattarini Gold Medal in 1945the highest honour for work in Bengali literature by the University of Calcuttaand awarded the Padma Bhushan, the third-highest civilian award of India, in 1960.
Nazrul's works for children have won acclaim for his use of rich language, imagination, enthusiasm, and an ability to fascinate young readers.
A chair has been named after him in University of Calcutta and the Government of West Bengal has opened a Nazrul Tirtha in Rajarhat, a cultural centre dedicated to his memory.
This is a medium-sized warbler, similar in size to the icterine warbler, with a slightly longer bill and shorter wings and a longer tail.
It is a paramilitary organisation, subordinate to the Ministry of the Interior in administrative issues and to the President of the Republic in issues pertaining to the president's authority as Commander-in-Chief (e.g.
The Guard operates SAR helicopters that are often used in inland SAR, in assistance of a local fire and rescue department or other authorities.
Upon mobilisation the Border Guard would be wholly or partly incorporated into the Finnish Defence Forces and its strength increased with reservists who have served their conscription in the border guard.
The western sea borders and the western and northern land borders to Sweden and Norway are free to cross under the Nordic passport union, however the Border Guard does maintain personnel in these regions owing to its SAR duties.
There is a separate Finnish Customs agency, and immigration is handled also by the local police and Finnish Directorate of Immigration.
It can, for example, seize and arrest persons and conduct searches in apartments and cars pursuant to same legislation as the police, when investigating a crime.
However, the power to arrest a person has been delegated only to the commanding officers of a border control detachments and commanders and vice-commanders of larger units.
The Border Guard is not supposed to be used for the keeping of public order under normal circumstances, but it has two readiness platoons that can be used to support the Police in exceptional situations in matters of crowd control and internal security (including incidents involving dangerous armed criminals).
The readiness platoons have been used to supplement riot police during high-profile international events where there is a perceived danger of violent demonstrations, e.g.
The Border Guard is responsible for enforcing the 3–5 km border zone towards Russia and issues the permits to visit the zone.
These administrative units are the Border Guard Headquarters, Southeast Finland, North Karelia, Kainuu and Lapland border guard districts, the Gulf of Finland and West Finland coast guard districts, Air Patrol Squadron and Border and Coast Guard Academy.
The AB 412s are to be replaced by new twin-engined helicopters, while the Super Pumas and Do 228s are being modernized.
After the Finnish Civil War in 1919, the control of the Finnish borders was given to the former Finnish Russian frontier troops under the command of the Ministry of Interior.
Until 1945, only the Russian border was supervised by the Frontier Guard, the Swedish and Norwegian borders having only customs control.
In 1929, a separate Sea Guard was founded to prevent the rampant alcohol smuggling caused by the Finnish prohibition of alcohol (1919–32).
It is famed for the wilderness skills of its guards foot-patrolling the forest-covered Russian border, its good efficiency in catching the few illegal border crossers and for the fact that it is the only state authority in large parts of Lapland.
The Border Guard of Finland is one of the links of the chain of protectors of the external borders of the European Union and Schengen agreement.
Conscripts in Border Guard companies are mostly volunteers and preferably selected from the occupants of border areas, and while trained by Border Guard, they do not perform regular border control duties.
Mailsort was a five-digit address-coding scheme used by the Royal Mail (the UK's postal service) and its business customers for the automatic direction of mail until 2012.
Mail users who could present mail sorted by Mailsort code and in quantities of 4,000 upwards (1,000 upwards for large letters and packets) receive a discounted postal rate.
Mailsort was not widely known to the British public and the code was not written as part of the address; rather it appears elsewhere on the envelope or label.
As the system was only used by a closed group of Royal Mail customers the scheme could be entirely re-coded from time to time (every 18–24 months).
Unlike posting by ordinary mail it was possible to specify service levels other than 1st or 2nd class with longer delivery times offered.
Four Mailsort products were available – known as 70, 120, 700 and 1400 – each based on the customer's ability to sort into increasingly smaller geographical areas.
A further Walksort product was available to those who wished to post to many of the addresses in an area and who could present mail sorted first by mailsort code and then by walk number (the second half of the postcode).
These services were similar to Mailsort 1400 but offered a greater discount for publications that met certain criteria and had been successfully registered with Royal Mail.
Mailsort codes were sometimes prefixed by a letter (A-P) which corresponded to sixteen regional divisions of the country, although the letter did not form part of the mailsort code.
The letter prefix was used by the sender to ensure that when mail was presented to Royal Mail those items with the furthest to travel were given and processed first while those in the same region as the sender were dealt with last.
When mail was presented to Royal Mail it was therefore not given in strict mailsort sequence and furthermore the sequence used would differ from one location in the country to another.
Some of his writings, including novels, essays, and commentaries, were a breakaway from traditional verse-oriented Indian writings, and provided an inspiration for authors across India.
Chattopadhyay was born in the village Kanthalpara in the town of North 24 Parganas, Naihati, in an orthodox Bengali Brahmin family, the youngest of three brothers, to Yadav Chandra Chattopadhyaya and Durgadebi.
Bankim Chandra and his elder brother both had their schooling from Midnapore Collegiate School (then Governmental Zilla School), where he wrote his first poem.
He was educated at the Hooghly Mohsin College (founded by Bengali philanthropist Muhammad Mohsin) and later at Presidency College, Kolkata, graduating with a degree in Arts in 1858.
He later attended the University of Calcutta and was one of the two candidates who passed the final exam to become the school's first graduates.
This book marks the shift from Chattopadhyay's early career, in which he was strictly a writer of romances, to a later period in which he aimed to stimulate the intellect of the Bengali speaking people and bring about a cultural renaissance of Bengali literature.
The novel was also the source of the song Vande Mataram (I worship my Motherland for she truly is my mother) which, set to music by Rabindranath Tagore, was taken up by many Indian nationalists, and is now the National Song of India.
He imagined untrained Sannyasi soldiers fighting and beating the highly experienced British Army; ultimately, however, he accepted that the British cannot be defeated.
Vande Mataram became prominent during the Swadeshi movement, which was sparked by Lord Curzon's attempt to partition Bengal into a Hindu majority West and a Muslim majority East.
Drawing from the Shakti tradition of Bengali Hindus, Chattopadhyay personified India as a Mother Goddess, which gave the song a Hindu undertone that would prove to be problematic for some Muslims.
Chattopadhyay's commentary on the Gita was published eight years after his death and contained his comments up to the 19th Verse of Chapter 4.
He was one of the first intellectuals who wrote in a British colony, accepting and rejecting the status at the same time.
Bishi also rejects the division of Bankim in 'Bankim the artist' and 'Bankim the moralist' – for Bankim must be read as a whole.
Chattopadhyay's first novel was an English one, Rajmohan's Wife and he also started writing his religious and philosophical essays in English.
In Taiwan, elections are held every four years to elect the 113 members of the Legislative Yuan, the unicameral legislature of Taiwan.
The constitutional amendments of 2005, which extended term length from three to four years, reduced seat count from 225 to 113, and introduced the current electoral system.
The delimitation of the single-member constituencies within the cities and counties was initially a major political issue in the early years, with bargaining between the government and the legislature.
Of the 15 cities and counties to be partitioned (the ten others have only one seat), only seven of the districting schemes proposed by the CEC were approved in a normal way.
Under the Article 35 and 37 of the Civil Servants Election and Recall Act, the electoral constituencies are to be revised every ten years based on population of quota by the end of two years and two months before the tenure of current legislators ends, which is obtained by household investigation.
The Central Election Commission reviews the boundaries then submit the proposal of altering electoral districts to the Legislative Yuan 20 months before the election for final consent and announcement.
The National Assembly was another government organ that, along with the Legislative Yuan and Control Yuan (before 1992), was seen to constitute the Parliament in Taiwan.
Baltistan (, ), also known as Baltiyul or Little Tibet (), is a mountainous region of Pakistan near the Karakoram mountains just south of K2 (the world's second-highest mountain).
Baltistan borders Gilgit to the west, Xinjiang (China) in the north, Ladakh on the southeast and the Kashmir Valley on the southwest.
Prior to 1947, Baltistan was part of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, having been conquered by Raja Gulab Singh's armies in 1840.
After the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir acceded to India, Gilgit Scouts overthrew the Maharaja's governor in Gilgit and captured Baltistan.
A small portion of Baltistan, including the village of Turtuk in the Nubra Valley, was incorporated into Ladakh after the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.
The 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica characterises Baltistan as the western extremity of Tibet, whose natural limits are the Indus river from its abrupt southward bend around the map point and the mountains to the north and west.
According to Ahmad Hassan Dani, Baltistan spreads upwards from the Indus river and is separated from Ladakh by the Siachen glacier.
In the north is the Baltoro Glacier, the largest out of the arctic regions, long, contained between two ridges whose highest peaks to the south are and to the north .
On 29 August 2009 the government of Pakistan announced the creation of Gilgit–Baltistan, a provincial autonomous region with Gilgit as its capital and Skardu its largest city.
Today, the people of Kharmang and Western Khaplu have Tibetan features and those in Skardu, Shigar and the eastern villages of Khaplu are Dards.
Mangyal annihilated the Skardu garrison at Kharbu and put to the sword a number of petty Muslim rulers in the principalities of Purik (Kargil).
The valley from Khepchne to Kachura was flat and fertile, with abundant fruit trees; the sandy desert now extending from Sundus to Skardu Airport was a prosperous town.
Baltistan is a rocky wilderness of around , with the largest cluster of mountains in the world and the biggest glaciers outside the polar regions.
Other well-known peaks include Masherbrum (also known as K1), Broad Peak, Hidden Peak, Gasherbrum II, Gasherbrum IV and Chogolisa (in the Khaplu Valley).
These include the Manthal Buddha Rock, a rock relief of the Buddha at the edge of the village (near Skardu) and the Sacred Rock of Hunza.
Islam was brought to Baltistan by Sufi missionaries during the 16th and 17th centuries, and most of the population converted to Noorbakshia Islam.
Deosai National Park, in the southern part of the region, is habitat for predators since it has an abundant prey population.
According to Balti folklore, Mughal princess Gul Khatoon (known in Baltistan as Mindoq Gialmo—Flower Queen) brought musicians and artisans with her into the region and they propagated Mughal music and art under her patronage.
The Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation has radio and television stations in Khaplu that broadcast local programs, and there are a handful of private news outlets.
Sunil Gangopadhyay or Sunil Ganguly (7 September 1934 – 23 October 2012) was an Indian poet and novelist in the Bengali language based in the city of Kolkata.
He studied at the Surendranath College, Dum Dum Motijheel College, City College, Kolkata – all affiliated with the University of Calcutta.
Later, he started writing for various publications of the Ananda Bazar group, a major publishing house in Kolkata and has been continuing it for many years.
Sunil, along with Tarun Sanyal, Jyotirmoy Datta and Satrajit Dutta had volunteered to be defence witnesses in the famous trial of Hungry generation movement poet Malay Roy Choudhury.
Though he wrote all types of children's fiction, one character created by him that stands out above the rest, was Kakababu, the crippled adventurist, accompanied by his young adult nephew Santu, and his friend Jojo.
Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, the former Chief Minister of West Bengal, who was closely associated with the writer since 1964, said that Bengali literature would remain indebted to him.
Charles Boyle, 4th Earl of Orrery KT PC FRS (28 July 1674 – 28 August 1731) was an English nobleman, statesman and patron of the sciences.
The second son of Roger Boyle, 2nd Earl of Orrery, and his wife Lady Mary Sackville (1647–1710), daughter of Richard Sackville, 5th Earl of Dorset, he was born at Little Chelsea, London.
He translated Plutarch's life of Lysander, and published an edition of the epistles of Phalaris, which engaged him in the famous controversy with Bentley.
He was three times member for the town of Huntingdon; and on the death of his brother, Lionel, 3rd earl, in 1703, he succeeded to the title.
He entered the army, and in 1709 was raised to the rank of major-general, and sworn one of Her Majesty's Privy Council.
He was appointed to the Order of the Thistle and appointed queen's envoy to the states of Brabant and Flanders; and having discharged this trust with ability, he was created an English peer, as Baron Boyle of Marston, in Somerset.
In 1713, under the patronage of Boyle, clockmaker George Graham created the first mechanical solar system model that could demonstrate proportional motion of the planets around the Sun.
Charles Boyle received several additional honours in the reign of George I; but having had the misfortune to fall under the suspicion of the government for playing a part in the Jacobite Atterbury Plot, he was committed to the Tower in 1722, where he remained six months, and was then admitted to bail.
He bequeathed his personal library and collection of scientific instruments to Christ Church Library; the instruments are now on display in the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford.
His son John, the 5th Earl of Orrery, succeeded to the earldom of Cork on the failure of the elder branch of the Boyle family, as earl of Cork and Orrery.
Gilgit is a major tourist destination in Pakistan, and serves as a hub for trekking and mountaineering expeditions in the Karakoram Range.
Gilgit was once a Buddhist centre; it was an important stop on the ancient Silk Road, and today serves as a major junction along the Karakoram Highway with road connections to China, Skardu, Chitral, Peshawar, and Islamabad.
Brogpas trace their settlement from Gilgit into the fertile villages of Ladakh through a rich corpus of hymns, songs, and folklore that have been passed down through generations.
The Dards and Shinas appear in many of the old Pauranic lists of people who lived in the region, with the former also mentioned in Ptolemy's accounts of the region.
Gilgit was an important city on the Silk Road, along which Buddhism was spread from South Asia to the rest of Asia.
They are believed to be the Patola Sahi dynasty mentioned in a Brahmi inscription, and are devout adherents of Vajrayana Buddhism.
In mid-600s, Gilgit came under Chinese suzerainty after the fall of Western Turkic Khaganate due to Tang military campaigns in the region.
However, faced with growing influence of the Umayyad Caliphate and then the Abbasid Caliphate to the west, the Tibetans were forced to ally themselves with the Islamic caliphates.
Chinese record of the region last until late-700s at which time the Tang's western military campaign was weakened due to the An Lushan Rebellion.
This corpus of manuscripts was discovered in 1931 in Gilgit, containing many Buddhist texts such as four sutras from the Buddhist canon, including the famous Lotus Sutra.
They cover a wide range of themes such as iconometry, folk tales, philosophy, medicine and several related areas of life and general knowledge.
They are among the oldest manuscripts in the world, and the oldest manuscript collection surviving in Pakistan, having major significance in the areas of Buddhist studies and the evolution of Asian and Sanskrit literature.
The manuscripts are believed to have been written in the 5th to 6th centuries AD, though some more manuscripts were discovered in the succeeding centuries, which were also classified as Gilgit manuscripts.
As of 6 October 2014, one source claims that the part of the collection deposited at the Sri Pratap Singh Museum in Srinagar was irrecoverably destroyed during the 2014 India–Pakistan floods.
Gilgit was ruled for centuries by the local Trakhàn Dynasty, which ended about 1810 with the death of Raja Abas, the last Trakhàn Raja.
However, considering the region's Buddhist heritage, with the most recent influence being Islam, the most likely preceding influence of the region is Buddhism.
The area had been a flourishing tract but prosperity was destroyed by warfare over the next fifty years, and by the great flood of 1841 in which the river Indus was blocked by a landslip below the Hatu Pir and the valley was turned into a lake.
Then, Azad Khan the cheater, Raja of Punial, killed Sulaiman Shah, taking Gilgit; then Tahir Shah, Raja of Buroshall (Nagar), took Gilgit and killed Azad Khan.
Tair Shah's son Shah Sakandar inherited, only to be killed by Gohar Aman, Raja of Yasin of the Khushwakhte Dynasty when he took Gilgit.
The Sikh general, Nathu Shah, left garrison troops and Karim Khan ruled until Gilgit was ceded to Gulab Singh of Jammu and Kashmir in 1846 by the Treaty of Amritsar, and Dogra troops replaced the Sikh in Gilgit.
Raja Gohar Aman then ruled Gilgit until his death in 1860, just before new Dogra forces from Ranbir Singh, son of Gulab Singh, captured the fort and town.
In the 1870s Chitral was threatened by Afghans, Maharaja Ranbir Singh was firm in protecting Chitral from Afghans, the Mehtar of Chitral asked for help.
In 1876 Chitral accepted the authority of Jammu Clan and in reverse get the protection from the Dogras who have in the past took part in many victories over Afghans during the time of Gulab Singh Dogra.
In 1877, in order to guard against the advance of Russia, the British India Government, acting as the suzerain power of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, established the Gilgit Agency.
It comprised the Gilgit Wazarat; the State of Hunza and Nagar; the Punial Jagir; the Governorships of Yasin, Kuh-Ghizr and Ishkoman, and Chilas.
In 1935, the British India government demanded from the Jammu and Kashmir state to lease them Gilgit town plus most of the Gilgit Agency and the hill-states Hunza, Nagar, Yasin and Ishkoman for 60 years.
Abdullah Sahib was the first Muslim governor of the Gilgit in British time period and was close associate of Maharaja Partap Singh.
On 26 October 1947, Maharaja Hari Singh of Jammu and Kashmir, faced with a tribal invasion by Pakistan, signed the Instrument of Accession, joining India.
Sensing their discontent, Major William Brown, the Maharaja's commander of the Gilgit Scouts, mutinied on 1 November 1947, overthrowing the Governor Ghansara Singh.
The Gilgit rebellion did not have civilian involvement and was solely the work of military leaders, not all of whom had been in favor of joining Pakistan, at least in the short term.
Historian Ahmed Hasan Dani mentions that although there was lack of public participation in the rebellion, sentiments were intense in the civilian population and their anti-Kashmiri sentiments were also clear.
According to various scholars, the people of Gilgit as well as those of Chilas, Koh Ghizr, Ishkoman, Yasin, Punial, Hunza and Nagar joined Pakistan by choice.
Gilgit is connected to Karimabad (Hunza) and Sust in the north, with further connections to the Chinese cities of Tashkurgan, Upal and Kashgar in Xinjiang.
Transport companies such as the Silk Route Transport Pvt, Masherbrum Transport Pvt and Northern Areas Transport Corporation (NATCO), offer passenger road transport between Islamabad, Gilgit, Sust, and Kashgar and Tashkurgan in China.
Long-term plans for the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor call for construction of the 682 kilometre long Khunjerab Railway, which is expected to be completed in 2030, that would also serve Gilgit.
Stefan Żeromski ( ; 14 October 1864 – 20 November 1925) was a Polish novelist and dramatist belonging to the Young Poland movement at the turn of the 20th century.
One of the witnesses at the wedding was the novelist Bolesław Prus, an admirer of Oktawia's who had not been in favor of the marriage.
The newlyweds moved to Switzerland, where Żeromski worked from 1892 to 1896 as a librarian at the Polish National Museum in Rapperswil .
In 1913 Żeromski started a new family with the painter Anna Zawadzka, whom he had met in 1908; they had a daughter, Monika.
In 1924, in recognition of Żeromski's achievements, President Stanisław Wojciechowski gave him a three-room apartment on the second floor of Warsaw's Royal Castle.
Roger Boyle, 1st Earl of Orrery (25 April 1621 – 16 October 1679), styled Lord Broghill from 1628 to 1660, was an Anglo-Irish soldier and politician who sat in the House of Commons of England at various times between 1654 and 1679.
Boyle fought in the Irish Confederate Wars (part of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms) and subsequently became known for his antagonism towards Irish Catholics and their political aspirations.
Boyle was the third surviving son of Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork and his second wife, Catherine Fenton, daughter of Sir Geoffrey Fenton of Dublin.
He was created Baron of Broghill in the Peerage of Ireland on 28 February 1628, a few months before his 7th birthday.
From 1636 to 1639 he travelled abroad in France, Switzerland and Italy and then took part in the Bishops Wars against the Scots on returning home.
Boyle returned to Ireland on the outbreak of the rebellion in 1641 and fought with his brothers against the Irish rebels at the battle of Liscarroll in September 1642.
Although initially under the command of the Royalist Marquis of Ormonde (later James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde), Lord Broghill consented to serve under the parliamentary commissioners in Cork against the Irish Confederates.
Boyle fought with the Parliamentarians until the execution of the king, when he retired altogether from public affairs and took up his residence at Marston in Somerset.
Appointed master of the ordnance, he soon assembled a body of infantry and horse, driving the rebels into Kilkenny, where they surrendered; he induced the Royalist garrison of Cork (English troops with whom he had served earlier in the wars) to defect back to the Parliamentarian side.
In 1651 he defeated an Irish force marching to Limerick's relief under Lord Muskerry at the battle of Knocknaclashy, the final battle of the Irish Confederate Wars, thus effecting the capture of the town.
By this time Broghill had become a fast friend and follower of Cromwell, whose stern measures in Ireland and support of the English and Protestants were welcomed after the policy of concession to the Irish initiated by Charles I.
He was returned as member for the county of Cork in 1654 to the First Protectorate Parliament and in 1656 to the Second Protectorate Parliament and also in the latter assembly for Edinburgh, for which he elected to sit.
He served this year as Lord President of the Council in Scotland, where he won much popularity; when he returned to England he was included in the inner cabinet of Cromwell's council, and nominated in 1657 as a member of the new House of Lords.
He was one of those most in favour of Cromwell's assumption of the royal title, and proposed a union between the Protector's daughter Frances and Charles II.
On Oliver Cromwell's death, Boyle gave his support to Richard Cromwell; but as he saw no possibility of maintaining the government, he left for Ireland, where by resuming command in Munster he secured the island for Charles, anticipating Monk's overtures by inviting the King to land at Cork.
In 1660, he was elected MP for Arundel in the Convention Parliament, although he was busily engaged in Ireland at the time of the election.
The same year he was appointed one of the three Lord Justices (Ireland) and drew up the Act of Settlement 1662.
He continued to exercise his office as lord-president of Munster till 1668, when he resigned it on account of disputes with the duke of Ormonde, the lord-lieutenant.
In addition to Lord Orrery's achievements as a statesman and administrator, he gained some reputation as a writer and a dramatist.
By her he had besides five daughters, two sons, of whom the eldest, Roger (1646 –1681/1682), succeeded as 2nd earl of Orrery.
Two other children, Henry and Margaret, married children of Murrough O'Brien, 1st Earl of Inchiquin; Henry was the father of Henry Boyle, 1st Earl of Shannon.
It lost this position to the high-rise of Erasmus MC () which was completed in 1968, but regained it when the Space Tower was added to the top of the building in 1970, giving an additional .
Hill Head has a substantial elderly population – 22.45% of its 7,121 residents are over 65, compared to an English average of 15.89%.
During World War II, Hill Head was one of many loading zones for the D-Day invasions and the area was inundated with allied troops.
The Swordfish public house at Hill Head was demolished in 2004 to make way for a small development of beach-front homes known as Swordfish Close.
The name Swordfish is derived from the World War Two bomber the Fairey Swordfish which flew from the nearby airfield at RNAS Lee-on-Solent (HMS Daedalus).
The only remaining pub along Hill Head beach-front is The Osborne View, so named as Osborne House (residential home of HM Queen Victoria) is visible on a clear day.
The area currently has a convenience store with a post office, a lighting shop, a door and windows shop, two hairdressers, a Chinese takeaway and a prep school.
In addition, the supergroup Backbeat featuring Mike Mills of R.E.M., Dave Grohl of Nirvana, Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum, Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, Don Fleming of Gumball, and Greg Dulli of Afghan Whigs.
François de Harlay de Champvallon (François III de Harlay; 14 August 1625 – 6 August 1695) was the fifth Archbishop of Paris.
He was presented to the abbey of Jumièges immediately on leaving the Collège de Navarre, and he was only twenty-six when he succeeded his uncle in the archiepiscopal see.
In 1674 the domain and lordships of Saint-Cloud, Maisons-Alfort, Créteil, Ozoir-la-Ferrière, and Armentières-en-Brie were erected into a duchy of Saint-Cloud to be held by the successive Archbishops of Paris, although it was not registered in the parlement until 1690.
During the early part of his political career he was a firm adherent of Mazarin, and is said to have helped to procure his return from exile.
His private life gave rise to much scandal, but he had considerable learning, was an eloquent and persuasive speaker and had a great capacity for business.
He secured the favour of Louis XIV by his support for the claims of the Gallican Church formulated by the declaration made by the clergy in assembly on 19 March 1682, when Bossuet accused him of truckling to the court like a valet.
Though no official act has survived, it is reliably thought that Harlay officiated in a private ceremony at the king's marriage with Madame de Maintenon after a Mass celebrated by Père la Chaise, the king's confessor, and in the presence of only three witnesses, the Marquis de Montchevreuil, the Chevalier de Forbin and Alexandre Bontemps.
Saint-Simon records that they were fond of walking through the magnificent gardens there, while a servant followed at a respectful distance to rake the gravel disturbed by their feet.
As a result Dieppe, of which he was temporal and spiritual lord, saw 3,000 of its Huguenot citizens flee abroad, partly it is said on account of Harlay's severity.
His funeral discourse was delivered by Père Gaillard, and Mme de Sévigné made on the occasion the severe comment that there were only two trifles to make this a difficult matter — his life and his death.
According to the 2011 UK Census, Goodmanham parish had a population of 244, an increase on the 2001 UK Census figure of 218.
The boundaries of the village lie along the lines of ancient earthworks and these are evidence that it was a prehistoric place of worship.
Near the western boundary of the village lies one of the most ancient roads of Britain, later adopted by the Romans.
Later in Saxon times, after the recall of the Roman legions, the village reached a position of great importance and fame.
It became the site of the high shrine of Anglo Saxon Northumbria, a great temple of Woden, the father of the gods.
Seeing that no harm came to him, the company that followed him demolished the shrine and burned it to the ground.
It is often said that Coifi rode from Edwin's council in York to destroy the temple at Goodmanham, a distance of around .
Local tradition has it that the ride was from the king's summer camp at Londesborough, which is two miles from Goodmanham.
Although Goodmanham is very near to York, the capital of Viking England, we have no information about Goodmanham from that period.
The church was designated a Grade I listed building in 1986 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.
Population at the time was 220, with occupations including fifteen farmers, a boot & shoe maker, a corn miller, a shoemaker, a wheelwright, a blacksmith who was also the parish clerk, and the licensed victualler of The Star public house.
It is the end of the north south powerline and a large control center for the power grid of the RWE.
In the communal reform of 1975, several previously independent municipalities were added to the municipality Pulheim, which received city rights in 1981.
The French reveal themselves as soldiers and a fight ensues in the station, claiming the lives of Scarecrow's men Hollywood, Legs and Ratman, along with several scientists and most of the French soldiers, while Mother loses her leg, Samurai is badly injured, and two French scientists are captured.
Later, Samurai is found strangled, leaving the only people he trusts to be one of the scientists, Sarah Hensleigh and another soldier named Montana as he was with them at the time of Samurai's death.
He later wakes up, found to have been accidentally resurrected by his attacker, and is in the care of scientist James Renshaw, the believed killer of one of the other scientists at Wilkes.
Meanwhile in the United States, Andrew Trent and Pete Cameron meet, Cameron being a news reporter and Trent being a former Marine using the alias of Andrew Wilcox to avoid being found by the U.S military who a few years back had tried to kill him.
During the escape via stolen vehicles, Schofield and Renshaw's is pushed off a cliff, Schofield's close friend Book and the step-daughter of Sarah Hensleigh, Kirsty, are captured, while Rebound escapes with four of the scientists.
Meanwhile, the SAS Brigadier Trevor Barnaby kills the two remaining French scientists and feeds Book to a pod of killer whales.
Schofield receives a message from Trent with a list of members of a secret service known as the Intelligence Convergence Group (ICG) which includes Snake and Montana.
Gant and her team find what appears to be an alien ship, but which turns out to be a spy ship.
Schofield and the two others arrive and Hensleigh reveals herself to be an ICG agent, but is soon killed by a wounded Gant.
Remembering the station is about to be destroyed, Schofield, Gant, Renshaw, Kirsty and her pet fur seal named Wendy escape on the spy plane and land on the USS Wasp.
In 2015 Matthew Reilly commissioned Benjamin Maio Mackay's production company, Preachrs Podcast OnLine & OnStage, to turn Ice Station into an audio drama.
Australian actor, director, producer, podcaster and writer Benjamin Maio Mackay was chosen by Reilly to direct and adapt the audio drama.
While the first three parts were recorded in 2016 no release date has been set and no further updates on the project have been provided by Reilly or Maio Mackay.
The Unicorns were a rock band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada formed in 2000 by Nicholas Thorburn (Nick Diamonds) and Alden Penner (Alden Ginger), who were later joined by Jamie Thompson (J'aime Tambeur) in December 2003.
The Unicorns were formed in Campbell River, British Columbia in December 2000 by Nicholas Thorburn and Alden Penner, who met in high school in the autumn of 1998.
Alden was new to his 10th-grade class and decided to wear a skirt to school, which intrigued a 12th-grade Nick and quickly sparked their friendship.
Immediately following the split, Thorburn and Thompson continued to collaborate as Th' Corn Gangg (a hip-hop project featuring Subtitle and Busdriver) and Islands (an indie rock project).
In early 2014, ten years after their split, it was announced that the band would reunite to support Arcade Fire on a handful of arena shows in Inglewood, CA and Brooklyn, NY.
On September 21, 2014 they returned to the Pop Montreal Festival to play a headline show at Metropolis, but have not announced any further live dates.
François de la Chaise (August 25, 1624 – January 20, 1709) was a French Jesuit priest, the father confessor of King Louis XIV of France.
François de la Chaise was born at the Château of Aix in Aix-la-Fayette, Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne, being the son of Georges d'Aix, seigneur de La Chaise, and of Renée de Rochefort.
He became a novice of the Society of Jesus before completing his studies at Lyon, where, after taking final vows, he lectured on philosophy to students attracted by his fame from all parts of France.
Through the influence of Camille de Villeroy, Archbishop of Lyon, Père de la Chaise was in 1674 nominated confessor of Louis XIV, who entrusted him during the lifetime of Harlay de Champvallon, archbishop of Paris, with the administration of the ecclesiastical patronage of the crown.
The confessor united his influence with that of Madame de Maintenon to induce the king to abandon his liaison with Madame de Montespan.
More than once at Easter he is said to have had a convenient illness which dispensed him from granting absolution to Louis XIV.
The marriage between Louis XIV and Madame de Maintenon was celebrated in his presence at Versailles, but there is no reason for supposing that the subsequent coolness between him and Madame de Maintenon arose from his insistence on secrecy in this matter.
During the long strife over the temporalities of the Gallican Church between Louis XIV and Innocent XI, Père de la Chaise supported the royal prerogative, though he used his influence at Rome to conciliate the papal authorities.
He exercised a moderating influence on Louis XIV's zeal against the Jansenists, and Saint-Simon, who was opposed to him in most matters, does full justice to his humane and honorable character.
In spite of failing faculties he continued his duties as confessor to Louis XIV to the end of his long life.
The name of Father de la Chaise became attached to the Jesuit house where he lived – at the time outside the boundaries of Paris – and to the plot of land near that house.
Available both in coupé and a convertible bodystyles, the latter being known as the Volante, the DB9 was the successor of the DB7.
Aston Martin Racing adapted the DB9 for sports car racing, producing the DBR9 for FIA GT1 and the DBRS9 for FIA GT3.
These two cars are modified DB9 models adapted for motorsport; the interior features are removed and the aluminium body panels are replaced by carbon fibre panels.
Production of the DB9 ended after 12 years in 2016, having been replaced by the DB11 which uses an all-new platform and engine.
Although it succeeded the DB7, Aston Martin did not name the car DB8 due to fears that the name would suggest that the car was equipped with a V8 engine (the DB9 has a V12).
In a 2007 interview, the then Aston Martin CEO Dr. Ulrich Bez stated that, though Aston Martin was traditionally a maker of more exclusive automobiles, he believed Aston Martin needed to be more visible and build more cars.
In 2007, the DB9 was revised with upgraded electrical components which helped reliability, new front seat design, LED approach lights on the door handles and lowered suspension (8mm).
The DB9 Volante no longer had a top-speed limiter, allowing it to attain an unrestricted top speed of should conditions allow.
The 2013 model year's new facelift design that resembled the 2011 Virage, as well as increased engine power of up to and of torque.
Later models also offered a Dolby Prologic sound system can be connected to satellite radio, a six-CD changer, an iPod connector, a USB connector, or an auxiliary input jack.
A seating package, which removes the back seats and replaces the front seats with lighter seats made of Kevlar and carbon fibre.
It retains the traditional Aston Martin grille and side strakes, and the design attempts to keep the lines simple and refined.
For the 2013 model year, Aston Martin made minor changes to the bodywork by adapting designs from the 2011 Virage, including enlarging the recessed headlight clusters with bi-xenon lights and LED daytime running strips, widening the front splitter, updating the grille and side heat extractors, updating the LED rear lights with clear lenses and integrating a new rear spoiler with the boot lid.
The 2009 model year DB9 had an increase of engine power and torque, as the V12 now has a power output of and of torque, resulting in a power to weight ratio of 271 PS per tonne, an increase of 11 PS per tonne over the previous model.
The top speed increased to and the 0 to acceleration time improved by 0.1 seconds to 4.6 seconds for the manual version of the car.
The DB9 can be equipped with either a six-speed conventional manual gearbox manufactured by Graziano Trasmissioni or a six-speed ZF Friedrichshafen 6HP26 'Touchtronic II' automatic gearbox featuring paddle-operated semi-automatic mode.
The 2014 model year featured a revised 'Touchtronic 3' gearbox, which offered faster gear shifts thanks to a new valve box and integrated transmission controls.
The body structure is composed of aluminium and composite materials melded together by mechanically fixed self-piercing rivets and robotic assisted adhesive bonding techniques.
The bonded aluminium structure is claimed to possess more than double the torsional rigidity of its predecessor's, despite being 25 percent lighter.
To protect occupants from rollovers, the Volante has strengthened the windshield pillars and added two pop-up hoops behind the rear seats.
In an effort to improve the Volante's ride while cruising, Aston Martin have softened the springs and lightened the anti-roll bars in the Volante, leading to a gentler suspension.
The retractable roof of the Volante is made of folding fabric and takes 17 seconds to be put up or down.
The original car was limited to to retain the integrity of the roof, this limitation was removed on the upgraded 2007 model onwards.
On newer models, like the coupé's, the Volante's power output and torque have increased to and respectively for the 2009 model year, and and respectively for the 2013 model year.
To commemorate Aston Martin's GT1 victory at the 2007 24 Hours of Le Mans, Aston Martin introduced the DB9 LM (Le Mans) in the first quarter of 2008.
The LM was only available in a special Sarthe Silver exterior colour, named after the Circuit de la Sarthe, where Le Mans is run, and has red brake calipers, a chromed mesh grill, and a special black leather interior, with red stitching and the Le Mans track stitched on the central console.
However, some dealers did not take their allocation with the result that only 69 DB9 LM's were finally built by the factory.
Following the success of several special edition models of other Aston Martin cars, like the V12 Vantage Carbon Black and the DBS Carbon Black, Aston Martin announced three special edition models of the DB9 in 2011: the DB9 Carbon Black, Morning Frost, and Quantum Silver.
All three models have the same 5.9-litre V12 engine as the base DB9, which has a power output of and of torque.
This includes a black center console and interior door handles on the inside, and black grills, a black tailpipe, and black 10-spoke wheels on the outside.
The interior also has numerous add-ons to make the car more sporty, including silver stitching for the leather and a polished glass gear stick.
However, on the interior, the Morning Frost is fitted with metallic bronze leather and a black center console and interior door handles.
The DB9 Quantum Silver uses a silver paint scheme also found on the DBS in Quantum of Solace, hence its name.
The Quantum Silver has the same semi-automatic transmission as its counterparts, and shares a modified sports exhaust with the Carbon Black.
The DB9 has been adapted for use in sports car racing by Aston Martin Racing, a collaboration between Aston Martin and Prodrive.
It retains the DB9's 5.9-litre V12 engine, but has been extensively modified to decrease weight as well as to improve performance and has a final displacement of .
Most of the car's aluminium body panels have been replaced with carbon fibre panels, and several external features, like a front splitter and a rear wing, have been added to increase the car's downforce.
The transmission in the DBR9 is a Xtrac six-speed sequential manual, containing a Salisbury friction-plate limited-slip differential, and the prop shaft made of carbon fibre.
The increase of engine power and weight reduction allows the DBR9 to accelerate from 0 to in 3.4 seconds, and 0 to in 6.4 seconds.
The DBR9 won in its debut at the 2005 12 Hours of Sebring, and has gone on to take wins in the American Le Mans Series, Le Mans Series, FIA GT Championship, as well as the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
While the engine is shared with the DBR9, it has been detuned and has a power output of and of torque.
The DBRS9 is equipped with either a six-speed H-pattern gearbox or a six-speed sequential gearbox box and has a 0 to acceleration time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of .
The car additionally raced in the FIA GT3 European Championship for which it was designed before being replaced by a GT3 version of the V12 Vantage in 2011.
Both Edmunds.com and Road & Track critiqued the DB9 for not having as good handling as its competitors, noting that the car isn't stiff enough.
Likewise, reviewers complained that the space for cargo was limited, though many quipped the small back seats could help hold luggage.
Ratu Sir Josefa Lalabalavu Vana'ali'ali Sukuna (22 April 1888 – 30 May 1958) was a Fijian chief, scholar, soldier, and statesman.
He did more than anybody to lay the groundwork for self-government by fostering the development of modern institutions in Fiji, and although he died a dozen years before independence from the United Kingdom was achieved in 1970, his vision set the course that Fiji was to follow in the years to come.
Sukuna was born into a chiefly family on Bau, off the island of Viti Levu, the largest island in the Fiji archipelago.
After joining the Audit Office as a clerk at an early age, Ratu Madraiwiwi had steadily worked his way up through the civil service, establishing connections along the way that were later to prove decisive in the life of his son.
Ratu Vuibureta was the sixth son of Ratu Banuve Baleivavalagi the 3rd Vunivalu of Bau from 1770 to 1803 and Adi Litia from Lakeba.
Although he was not accorded a chiefly title from Bau his birthplace, he was installed as the second Tui Lau in 1938 following the traditional process of consultation between the Yavusa Tonga of Sawana in Lomaloma and the endorsement of the Tui Nayau, Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba II following the passing of Ratu Alifereti Finau Ulugalala as referenced in the TRY Lakeba and TRY Tonga.
Although Sukuna was an indigenous Fijian, his father enrolled him at the Wairuku Indian School in Ra, founded in 1898 by Pandit Badri Maharaj, who later served from 1917 to 1929 as the first Indo-Fijian member of Fiji's Legislative Council (the forerunner to the present Parliament.
Andrew was a colourful character, an Oxford-educated Anglican clergyman who had converted to Roman Catholicism and then back again, before sailing for the mission field in Fiji.
Largely as a result of Andrew's influence, the young Ratu Sukuna was sent to the prestigious Wanganui Collegiate School in Wanganui, New Zealand.
Sukuna hoped to remain in New Zealand to pursue a university degree, but his source of funds dried up and he was forced to return to Fiji, where, in 1907, he joined the civil service as a fifth class clerk.
His superb command of English, however, ensured his rapid promotion and it was not long before he became the chief translator for the government.
In 1909 he was invited by his uncle, Ratu Alfred Finau Ulukalala, to return to the Lau Islands to become the assistant master of the Lau Provincial School at Lakeba.
At Lakeba, Sukuna formed what was to be another key relationship in his life, with the young English headmaster, Arthur Maurice Hocart.
No Fijians to date had graduated from a university, and the British colonial administration was unwilling to encourage higher learning for the natives.
However, Ratu Madraiwiwi was personally acquainted with the colonial Governor, Sir Francis Henry May, and in 1911 asked him to try to arrange for his son to study at a British university on the grounds that he had passed the matriculation exams at Wanganui Collegiate School.
May's influence persuaded the British Colonial Secretary, reluctantly, to grant Sukuna a one-year leave of absence from his responsibilities in Fiji to study history at Wadham College, Oxford, in 1913.
The British government, however, had a policy of refusing enlistment to Fijians, a policy rationalised by a wish to avoid exploiting the native people.
Believing that Fijians would never gain the respect of their British rulers, without proving their worth on the battlefield, Sukuna enlisted in the French Foreign Legion instead.
He returned to France the following year, however, with the Native Transport Detachment, a newly formed contingent assisting the British Army.
He proceeded to the Middle Temple in London, and by 1921 had graduated with both a BA and an LL.B degree.
Meanwhile, Sukuna's father had died in 1920, and he had to return to Fiji to take his place as head of the mataqali, or clan.
He became a chief assistant in the Native Lands Commission in 1922, and a decade later he was stationed in Lomaloma, and also on the island of Lakeba in the Lau Islands, as a district and provincial commissioner.
In many respects, this formalised what had long been the reality that he was the most influential chief in Fiji, notwithstanding the seniority enjoyed by other chiefs.
Sukuna's education complemented his lineage: he was a descendant of Fijian and Lauan royalty, and no other chief held a university degree.
The British government had completely reversed its former position of not permitting natives to enlist, and the Fijian Battalion, commanded by Ratu Edward Cakobau (a relative of Sukuna's) fought with distinction.
At long last, Fijians had begun to earn the respect of the British authorities, and after the war, they began steps towards fostering self-government in Fiji.
Prior to 1940, each clan individually negotiated the terms of leasing the land to those who farmed it, resulting in a wide variation of lease terms.
The then colonial governor, Sir Arthur Richards, proposed establishing a central body to hold the land in trust and lease it to willing farmers on terms that would be uniform throughout Fiji.
The pressing need of the time was to provide land for a growing population of Indo-Fijian farmers, without expropriating it from its Fijian owners, and to do so in a way that was consistent.
The landowners were being asked to surrender, forever, the control of their land, and entrust its administration to a central authority that would act in the national interest, as well as that of the owners.
Rather than rely on radio broadcasts or printed flyers, he determined to take the proposal in person to every village in the country.
After explaining it to the people, he would leave to allow the idea to percolate and would return later to answer more questions.
He said that while self-government was indeed the goal in the South Pacific, it would have to be of a kind that the local people could understand and work with.
Sukuna has created a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 1939 and awarded a knighthood in 1946, in recognition of his services to Fiji.
After receiving a second knighthood KCMG in 1953, Ratu Sukuna was appointed the first native-born Speaker (politics) of the Legislative Council in 1954.
Although it was only partially elected and had few of the powers of the modern Parliament of Fiji, the Legislative Council provided a venue for Fiji's future leaders to gain experience in the workings of government.
In 1956, Ratu Sukuna encouraged the formation of Fiji's first political party, the Fijian Association under the leadership of Ratu Edward Cakobau.
Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna was married twice, first to Adi Maraia Vosawale (1903–1956) in 1928, and later to Maca Likutabua (1934–2000) in September 1957, eight months before his death.
Although he did not live to see Fiji gain its independence (in 1970), the role he played in the pre-independence years was crucial; without him, there might not have been a Fijian state or its creation would almost certainly have been delayed.
Not only was his personal role decisive, he also mentored several of the men who were to play pivotal roles in the post-independence years.
Upon his passing Ratu Sukuna had nothing more to his name but 50 cents which was concluded that in a sense, he gave everything he had to his nation and investing in the education of his successors.
Long after his death, they continued to regard him as their mentor and saw the implementation of his vision as their sacred responsibility.
Even today, now that the torch has been passed to a younger generation, most Fijian politicians, even from the Indo-Fijian community, regard themselves as heirs of his legacy.
This is a list of television programs currently, formerly, and soon to be broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's CBC Television.
Bede's description of Coifi is that of the chief of priests in Northumbria; the fact that he is the chief priest suggests that there was some sort of organised pagan priesthood in existence during Coifi's time.
Whilst we know very little about Coifi we do at least know of some of the aspects of his priestly life.
Bede informs us of some of the restrictions placed upon Coifi as a priest, such as not being allowed to bear arms or ride a stallion.
Coifi was one of the people King Edwin of Northumbria sought for advice on whether to convert to Christianity as preached by Paulinus, chaplain to his Christian queen Ethelburga.
Coifi mounted a stallion and rode from the king's council (which according to local tradition was held at the royal summer encampment at Londsborough), to the temple of Woden at Goodmanham, where he cast a spear into the altar before setting the building on fire, as the people watched.
Holding a council with the wise men King Edwin asked of every one in particular what he thought of the new doctrine and the new worship that was preached.
For none of you people has applied himself more diligently to the worship of our gods than I; and yet there are many who receive greater favors from you, and are more preferred than I, and who are more prosperous in all their undertakings.
Now if the gods were good for anything, they would rather forward me, who have been more careful to serve them.
So this life of man appears for a short space, but of what went before or what is to follow we are utterly ignorant.
But now I freely confess that such evident truth appears in this preaching as can confer on us the gifts of life, of salvation, and of eternal happiness.

The City Circle, also referred to as Melbourne tram route 35 is a zero-fare tram running around the Melbourne City Centre in Australia.
Aimed mainly at tourists, the route passes many Melbourne attractions while running along the city centre's outermost thoroughfares, as well as the developing Docklands waterfront precinct.
The tram route was introduced on 29 April 1994, requiring a small track extension along Spring Street, between Collins and Flinders Streets, to enable a complete CBD loop to be formed.
The Federal Government's Building Better Cities program funded the $6.4 million capital cost of the track expansion, while the State Government funded the running costs.
Until January 2003 the western leg of the original route of the tram was down Spencer Street, but the route was then extended west to run through Docklands.
In April 2008, the service adopted the daylight saving timetable on a permanent basis, operating from 10:00 to 21:00 every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
On 30 May 2009, the route was altered for a second time, being extended from Harbour Esplanade to the NewQuay and Waterfront City precincts via Docklands Drive.
It follows Spring Street between Flinders and Bourke Streets, but travels along Nicholson Street and Victoria Street before turning into La Trobe Street.
At the junction of Harbour Esplanade and Latrobe Street trams turn off the loop to run to and from a terminus towards the end of Docklands Drive, Waterfront City Docklands.
The City Circle route is operated by heritage W class trams liveried in burgundy with gold trim, however rolling stock shortages often see Melbourne & Metropolitan Tramways Board liveried traditional green liveried W Class trams on the service.
The City Circle operates at a headway of 12 minutes in both directions, with the service taking approximately 60 minutes to complete a loop.
An average of three million passengers uses the service every year, with each tram circling the city 9 times a day, or 12 times when the tram operates to 21:00.
It returned in 2001 for two more series until 2003 along with specials in 2002, 2003 and 2004 (and a short Comic Relief sketch in 2005).
The special was titled 'How to Be Absolutely Fabulous' and featured Jennifer Saunders as she enters the BBC studio in which the woman at reception is unaware of who Saunders is.
A second special, released in 1998 and titled 'Absolutely Fabulous: A Life' features Edina and her mother as she and a camera crew are filming the story of Edina's life in a documentary.
Edina talks about her surroundings in the charity shop, a setting that she is unaccustomed to and certainly is not to her taste.
A Comic Relief sketch was broadcast on 11 March 2005 which sees Edina and Patsy reluctantly accompany Emma Bunton to the taping of Comic Relief at the BBC Television Centre.
Inside, a member of the production staff can't find Emma's name on the list of presenters, prompting Edina to suggest they check again under Queen Noor or Lulu.
Emma and Edina bicker in a dressing room when Edina insists that the point of Emma's participation should be to gain greater exposure for herself.
When Richard visits the dressing room to apologise for Emma having been left off the list, Edina and Patsy fail to recognise him and ask him to fetch Richard straightaway.
When the production staffer returns to collect Emma (now scheduled to appear after Graham Norton), Edina and Patsy first conceal (in the dressing room) and then loudly acknowledge (on-stage, live, during the Comic Relief special) Emma's departure.
A Sport Relief special was broadcast on 23 March 2012 and follows Edina as she is busy training for a Sport Relief charity function with Emma Bunton with disastrous results while Patsy fills in for her downstairs in a meeting with Stella McCartney.
Patsy ends up taking the credit for Edina's idea to feature Kate Moss and David Gandy in the magazine, but the only condition is that Patsy must not let Edina anywhere near the shoot.
On 9 August 1961, the Holtaheia Accident took place as a Vickers VC.1 Viking passenger aeroplane, G-AHPM operated by Cunard Eagle Airways, transporting schoolboys from The Archbishop Lanfranc School in Thornton Heath, London, crashed into the mountainside above the farm (Holtaheia).
Andrea Palladio ( , ; 30 November 1508 – 19 August 1580) was an Italian Renaissance architect active in the Venetian Republic.
Palladio, influenced by Roman and Greek architecture, primarily Vitruvius, is widely considered to be one of the most influential individuals in the history of architecture.
The city of Vicenza, with its 23 buildings designed by Palladio, and 24 Palladian villas of the Veneto are listed by UNESCO as part of a World Heritage Site named City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto.
When he was thirteen, his father arranged for him to be an apprentice stonecutter for a period of six years in the workshop of Bartolomeo Cavazza da Sossano, a noted sculptor, whose projects included the altar in the Church of Santa Maria dei Carmini in Padua.
Bartolomeo Cavazza is said to have imposed particularly hard working conditions: Palladio fled the workshop in April 1523 and went to Vicenza, but was forced to return to fulfil his contract.
He became an assistant to a prominent stonecutter and stonemason, Giovanni di Giacomo da Porlezza in Pedemuro San Biagio, where he joined the guild of stonemasons and bricklayers.
His career was unexceptional until 1538–39; when he had reached the age of thirty, he was employed by the humanist poet and scholar Gian Giorgio Trissino to rebuild his residence, the Villa Trissino at Cricoli.
Trissino was deeply engaged in the study of ancient Roman architecture, particularly the work of Vitruvius, which had become available in print in 1486.
He took another, longer trip to Rome with Trissino from the autumn of 1545 to the first months of 1546, and then another trip in 1546–1547.
Trissino also gave him the name by which he became known, Palladio, an allusion to the Greek goddess of wisdom Pallas Athene and to a character of a play by Trissino.
These were sometimes influenced by the work of his predecessor, Giulio Romano, and were similar to the villa of his patron, Gian Giorgio Trissino, at Cricoli, for which he had built an addition before his first trip to Rome.
There is a central block flanked by two wings, the central block is recessed and the two wings are advanced and more prominent.
Palladio made numerous changes and additions over the years, adding lavish frescoes framed by classical columns in the Hall of the Muses of the Villa Godi in the 1550s.
In his early works in Vicenza in the 1540s, he sometimes emulated the work of his predecessor Giulio Romano, but in doing so he added his own ideas and variations.
One of the most important works of his early Vicenza period is the Basilica Palladiana in Vicenza (1546), the palace of the city government.
He did not construct the building from the ground up, but added two-story loggias to the exterior of an older building, which had been finished in 1459.
For the facade, Palladio made harmonious use of two levels of arcades with rounded arches and columns, which opened up the exterior of the building to the interior courtyard.
The Palazzo del Capitaniato, the offices of the Venetian governor of the region, is a later variation on the urban palace, built in Vicenza facing the Basilica Palladiana, and the finest of his late urban palaces.
The red brick of the walls and columns and the white stone of the balustrades and bases of the columns give another contrast.
He had travelled to Rome in 1549, hoping to become a Papal architect, but the death of Pope Paul III ended that ambition.
His patron, Gian Giorgio Trissino, died in 1550, but in the same year Palladio gained new supporter, the powerful Venetian aristocrat Daniele Barbaro.
In addition to the Barbaros, the aristocratic Cornaro, Foscari, and Pisani families supported Palladio's career, while he continued to construct a series of magnificent villas and palaces in Vicenza in his new classical style, including the Palazzo Chiericati in Vicenza, the Villa Pisani in Montagnana, and the Villa Cornaro in Piombino Dese.
These books, reprinted in different languages and circulated widely in Europe, secured his reputation as the most influential figure in the renewal classical architecture, a reputation which only continued to grow after his death.
The Hall of the Four Columns, the grand salon, could be entered by a grand stairway from either the front or back of the house.
Palladio placed niches in the walls of this salon, which were later filled with full-length statues of the ancestors of the owner.
Villa Barbaro (begun 1557) at Maser was an imposing suburban villa, built for the brothers Marcantonio and Daniele Barbaro, who were respectively occupied with politics and religious affairs in the Veneto, or Venice region.
The central hall, The Hall of Olympus on the ground floor, was decorated with Roman gods and goddesses, but when one mounted the stairs, the long upper floor was in the form of a cross and Christian images predominate.
The villa also has a series of remarkable frescos and ceiling paintings by Paolo Veronese combining mythical themes with scenes of everyday life.
Behind the villa, Palladio created a remarkable nymphaeum, or Roman fountain, with statues of the gods and goddesses of the major rivers of Italy.
The height of the base is exactly the height of the attic, and the width of each portico exactly half the length of the facade.
Daniele Barbaro and his younger brother Marcantonio introduced Palladio to Venice, where he developed his own style of religious architecture, distinct from and equally original as that of his villas.
His first project in Venice was the cloister of the church of Santa Maria della Carità (1560–61), followed by the refectory and then the interior of the San Giorgio Monastery (1560–1562), His style was rather severe compared with the traditional lavishness of Venetian Renaissance architecture.
San Georgio Maggiore was later given a new facade by Vincenzo Scamozzi (1610), which integrated it more closely into the Venetian skyline.
The facade features a particularly imposing classical portico, like that of the Pantheon in Rome, placed before two tall bell towers, before an even higher cupola, which covers the church itself.
An open balustrade runs around the top of the interior wall, concealing the base of the dome itself, making it appear that the dome is suspended in the air.
He achieves a perfect balance between the circle and the cross, and the horizontal and vertical elements, both on the facade and in the interior.
The final work of Palladio was the Teatro Olimpico in the Piazza Matteotti in Vincenza, built for the theatrical productions of the Olympic Society of Vicenza, of which Palladio was a member.
The back wall of the stage was in the form on an enormous triumphal arch divided into three levels, and three portals through which he actors could appear and disappear.
Documents show that he received a dowry in April 1534 from the family of his wife, Allegradonna, the daughter of a carpenter.
He died on 19 August 1580 at either Vicenza or Maser, and was buried in the church of Santa Corona in Vicenza.
The German architects David Gilly and his son Friedrich Gilly were also admirers of Palladio, and constructed palaces for the German Emperor Frederick-William III in the style, including the Paretz Palace.
The first English architect to adapt Palladio's work was Inigo Jones, who made a long trip to Vicenza and returned full of Palladian ideas.
Another variation, the Marble Bridge, was made for Empress Catherine the Great of Russia for her gardens at Tsarskoe Selo near Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Another English admirer was the architect, Richard Boyle, 4th Earl of Cork, also known as Lord Burlington, who, with William Kent, designed Chiswick House.
The influence of Palladio also reached to the United States, where the architecture and symbols of the Roman Republic were adapted for the architecture and institutions of the newly independent nation.
The Massachusetts governor and architect Thomas Dawes also admired the style, and used it when rebuilding Harvard Hall at Harvard University in 1766.
More than 330 of Palladio's original drawings and sketches still survive in the collections of the Royal Institute of British Architects, most of which originally were owned by Inigo Jones.
Jones collected a significant number of these on his Grand Tour of 1613–1614, while some were a gift from Henry Wotton.
The Center for Palladian Studies in America, Inc., a nonprofit membership organization, was founded in 1979 to research and promote understanding of Palladio's influence in the architecture of the United States.
The basic elements of Italian Renaissance architecture, including Doric columns, lintels, cornices, loggias, pediments and domes had already been used in the 15th century or earlier, before Palladio.
At the beginning of the High Renaissance in the early 16th century, Bramante used these elements together in the Tempietto in Rome (1502), which combined a dome and a central plan based on a Greek Cross.
The Farnese Palace in Rome (1530–1580) by Sangallo introduced a new kind of Renaissance palace, with monumental blocks, ornate cornices, lateral wings and multiple stairways.
Michelangelo had made a plan for a central dome at Saint Peter's Basilica and added a new loggia to the facade of the Farnese Palace.
His buildings were very often placed on pedestals, raise them up and make them more visible, and so they could offer a view.
The villas very often had loggias, covered arcades or walkways on the outside of upper levels, which gave a view of the scenery or city below, and also gave variety to the facade.
When he designed his rustic villas and suburban villas, he paid particular attention to the site, integrating them as much as possible into nature, either by sites on hilltops or looking out at gardens or rivers.
The Sarlian window, or Venetian window, also known as a Palladian window, was another common feature of his style, which he used both for windows and the arches of the loggias of his buildings.
It consists of an arched window flanked by two smaller square windows, divided by two columns or pilasters and often topped by a small entablature and by a small circular window or hole, called an oculus.
These particular features originally appeared in the triumphal arches of Rome, and had been used in the earlier Renaissance by Bramante, but Palladio used them in novel ways, particularly in the facade of the Basilica Palladiana and in the Villa Pojana.
In his later work, particularly the Palazzo Valmarana and the Palazzo del Capitaniato in Vicenza, his style became more ornate and more decorative, with more sculptural decoration on the facade, tending toward Mannerism.
His success as an architect is based not only on the beauty of his work, but also for its harmony with the culture of his time.
His success and influence came from the integration of extraordinary aesthetic quality with expressive characteristics that resonated with his clients' social aspirations.
This powerful integration of beauty and the physical representation of social meanings is apparent in three major building types: the urban palazzo, the agricultural villa, and the church.
The Palazzo Antonini in Udine, constructed in 1556, had a centralized hall with four columns and service spaces placed relatively toward one side.
In his urban structures he developed a new improved version of the typical early Renaissance palazzo (exemplified by the Palazzo Strozzi).
Adapting a new urban palazzo type created by Bramante in the House of Raphael, Palladio found a powerful expression of the importance of the owner and his social position.
The main living quarters of the owner on the second level were clearly distinguished in importance by use of a pedimented classical portico, centered and raised above the subsidiary and utilitarian ground level (illustrated in the Palazzo Porto and the Palazzo Valmarana).
The tallness of the portico was achieved by incorporating the owner's sleeping quarters on the third level, within a giant two-story classical colonnade, a motif adapted from Michelangelo's Capitoline buildings in Rome.
He consolidated the various stand-alone farm outbuildings into a single impressive structure, arranged as a highly organized whole, dominated by a strong centre and symmetrical side wings, as illustrated at Villa Barbaro.
Alongside the painter Paolo Veronese, he invented the complex and sophisticated illusionistic landscape paintings that cover the walls of various rooms.
The Palladian villa configuration often consists of a centralized block raised on an elevated podium, accessed by grand steps, and flanked by lower service wings, as at Villa Foscari and Villa Badoer.
This format, with the quarters of the owners at the elevated centre of their own world, found resonance as a prototype for Italian villas and later for the country estates of the British nobility (such as Lord Burlington's Chiswick House, Vanbrugh's Blenheim, Walpole's Houghton Hall, and Adam's Kedleston Hall and Paxton House in Scotland).
The configuration was a perfect architectural expression of their world view, clearly expressing their perceived position in the social order of the times.
The Palladian villa format was easily adapted for a democratic world view, as may be seen at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and his arrangement for the University of Virginia.
It also may be seen applied as recently as 1940 in Pope's National Gallery in Washington D.C., where the public entry to the world of high culture occupies the exalted centre position.
The rustication of exposed basement walls of Victorian residences is a late remnant of the Palladian format, clearly expressed as a podium for the main living space for the family.
Similarly, Palladio created a new configuration for the design of Catholic churches that established two interlocking architectural orders, each clearly articulated, yet delineating a hierarchy of a larger order overriding a lesser order.
This idea was in direct coincidence with the rising acceptance of the theological ideas of St. Thomas Aquinas, who postulated the notion of two worlds existing simultaneously: the divine world of faith, and the earthly world of humans.
Palladio created an architecture which made a visual statement communicating the idea of two superimposed systems, as illustrated at San Francesco della Vigna.
In a time when religious dominance in Western culture was threatened by the rising power of science and secular humanists, this architecture found great favor with the Catholic Church as a clear statement of the proper relationship of the earthly and the spiritual worlds.
These pressure groups, based on their relationship with United Kingdom policy makers, can be divided into insider groups, who have high degree of involvement and influence and outsider groups, who have little or no direct involvement or influence.
Spin Boldak () is a border town and the headquarters of Spin Boldak District in the southern Kandahar province of Afghanistan, next to the Durand Line border with Pakistan.
It is linked by a highway with the city of Kandahar to the north, and with Chaman and Quetta in Pakistan to the south.
Kandahar and Quetta are about 40 and respectively distant by air, and have the closest medium-sized airports; Pishin, Pakistan has a small airport to the east.
The town was the site of a suicide bombing in February 2008 that killed 38 Afghans and injured several Canadian soldiers.
In April 2010, three nephews of the former governor of Spin Boldak district, Hajji (or Haji) Fazluddin Agha, aged 15, 13 and 12, were killed in a bomb attack.
The bomb was attached to a donkey which was led to the checkpoint in front of the former governor's home and detonated by remote control.
Hajji Fazluddin Agha, according to the report, is of one of President Hamid Karzai’s most important political allies in Kandahar, and had also served as Mr. Karzai’s top campaign official in Kandahar Province.
In 1891 the British extended the Indian Railways system (now Pakistan Railways) to the border town of Chaman via the Khojak Tunnel from Qilla Abdullah, from the east and thence south.
Over much of the last century, there have been proposals to extend the Chaman line to Afghanistan and possibly beyond, passing through Spin Boldak.
In July 2010, Pakistan and Afghanistan signed a Memorandum of understanding for going ahead with the laying of rail tracks between the two countries.
The composition consists of five movements, and in both its tempi and arrangement of thematic material, the piece is in a characteristic arch form (ABCBA).
The tempi between two sections are related by a ratio of 3:2, introduced at the end of each section by either tuplet or dotted rhythms, respectively.
Sections I and V have the same harmonic structure, sections II and IV have both the same harmonic structure and the same words.
The first and longest movement is based on canons, while the second, performed without pause, utilizes a theme and variations structure.
The third movement, the only slow movement, features call-and-response, and continues without pause into the finale, which recapitulates in turn the structures of the first three movements.
It was the first major composition by Reich to reference explicitly his new-found interest in his Jewish heritage, and his Judaism as such.
Typically, Reich's music is characterised by a steady pulse and the repetition of a comparatively small amount of melodic material emanating from a clear tonal centre (a style of writing which is called 'minimalist').
However, these aspects together constitute only the broad outlines of the work; how they are presented is markedly different from his early work.
Secondly, the musical setting of lengthy 3-4 line texts results in the composition of extended melodies at that point atypical for Reich.
As such, this second aspect of extended melody contributes to the appearance of structures not without precedent in Western musical history.
The non-vibrato, non-operatic vocal production will also remind listeners a singing style derived from outside the tradition of 'Western Art Music'.
None of the writing is informed by the sound or structure (in spite of the composer's recent study of Hebrew cantillation) of Jewish music generally or any existing tradition for singing the Biblical text.
Johann Ulrich von Cramer (8 November 1706 – 18 June 1772) was an eminent German judge, legal scholar, and Enlightenment philosopher.
Cramer was the most important representative of Wolffianism in the area of law; he was first a university professor at the University of Marburg and then one of the highest judges of the Holy Roman Empire, both in Vienna and Wetzlar.
The West Ukrainian People's Republic (, , ZUNR) was a short-lived republic that existed from November 1918 to July 1919 in eastern Galicia.
It included the cities of Lviv, Przemyśl, Ternopil, Kolomyia, Boryslav and Stanislaviv (now Ivano-Frankivsk), and claimed parts of Bukovina and Carpathian Ruthenia.
Politically, the Ukrainian National Democratic Party (the precursor of the interwar Ukrainian National Democratic Alliance) dominated the legislative assembly, guided by varying degrees of Greek Catholic, liberal and socialist ideology.
The coat of arms of the West Ukrainian People's Republic was azure, a lion rampant or (a golden lion rampant on a field of blue).
According to the Austro-Hungarian census of 1910, the territory claimed by the West Ukrainian People's Republic had about 5.4 million people.
Of these, 3,291,000 (approximately 60%) were Ukrainians, 1,351,000 (approximately 25%) were Poles, 660,000 (approximately 12%) were Jews, and the rest included Rusyns, Germans, Hungarians, Romanians, Czechs, Slovaks, Romani, Armenians and others.
The cities and towns of this largely rural region were mostly populated by Poles and Jews, while the Ukrainians dominated the countryside.
This would prove problematic for the Ukrainians, because the largest city, Lviv (, ), had a majority Polish population and was considered to be one of the most important Polish cities.
Rail connections to Russian-ruled Ukraine or Romania were few: Brody on a line from Lviv to the upper Styr River, Pidvolochysk (Podwoloczyska) on a line from Ternopil to Proskurov (now Khmelnytskyi) in Podolia, and a line along the Prut from Kolomyia (Kolomca) to Chernivtsi (Czernowitz) in Bukovina.
The Ukrainian National Rada (a council consisting of all Ukrainian representatives from both houses of the Austrian parliament and from the provincial diets in Galicia and Bukovina) had planned to declare the West Ukrainian People's Republic on November 3, 1918 but moved the date forward to November 1 due to reports that the Polish Liquidation Committee was to transfer from Kraków to Lviv.
Shortly after the republic proclaimed independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire a popular uprising took place in Lviv, where most residents were Polish and did not want to be part of a non-Polish state.
On November 9 Polish forces attempted to seize the Drohobych oil fields by surprise but were driven back, outnumbered by the Ukrainians.
The resulting stalemate saw the Poles retaining control over Lviv and a narrow strip of land around a railway linking the city to Poland, while the rest of eastern Galicia remained under the control of the West Ukrainian National Republic.
Meanwhile, two smaller states immediately west of the West Ukrainian People's Republic, also declared independence as result of the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Since western Ukraine had a different tradition in its legal, social and political norms it was to be autonomous within a united Ukraine.
Well-versed in the culture of the Austrian parliamentary system and an orderly approach to government, they looked upon the socialist revolutionary attitude of their Kiev-based peers with some dismay and with the concern that the social unrest in the East would spread to Galicia.
Likewise, the West Ukrainian troops were more disciplined while those of Kiev's Ukrainian People's Army were more chaotic and prone to committing pogroms, something actively opposed by the western Ukrainians.
Relations between the exiled Western Ukrainian government and the Kiev-based government continued to deteriorate, in part because the Western Ukrainians saw the Poles as the main enemy (with the Russians a potential ally) while Symon Petliura in Kiev considered the Poles a potential ally against his Russian enemies.
In response to the Kiev government's diplomatic talks with Poland, the Western Ukrainian government sent a delegation to the Soviet 12th Army, but ultimately rejected Soviet conditions for an alliance.
In August 1919, Kost Levytsky, head of the Western Ukrainian state secretariat, proposed an alliance with Anton Denikin's White Russians which would involve guaranteed autonomy within a Russian state.
On the one hand, they were wary of the Galicians' Russophobia and concerned about the effect of such an alliance on their relationship with Poland.
On the other hand, the Russians respected the discipline and training of the Galician soldiers and understood that an agreement with the Western Ukrainians would deprive Kiev's Ukrainian People's Army, at war with the Russian Whites, of its best soldiers.
In November 1919 the Ukrainian Galician Army, without authorization from their government, signed a ceasefire with the White Russians and placed their army under White Russian authority.
In talks with Kiev's Directorate government, Western Ukrainian president Petrushevych argued that the Whites would be defeated anyway but that the alliance with them would strengthen relations with the Western powers, who supported the Whites, and would help the Ukrainian military forces for their later struggle against the victorious Soviets.
As a result, Petrushevych recognized that the West Ukrainian government could no longer work with Petliura's Directorate and on November 15 the government of the West Ukrainian People's Republic left for exile in Vienna.
In April 1920, Józef Piłsudski and Symon Petliura agreed in the Treaty of Warsaw to a border on the river Zbruch, officially recognizing Polish control over the disputed territory of Eastern Galicia.
In exchange for agreeing to a border along the Zbruch River, recognizing the recent Polish territorial gains in western Ukraine, as well as the western portions of Volhynian Governorate, Kholm Governorate, and other territories (Article II), Poland recognized the Ukrainian People's Republic as an independent state (Article I) with borders as defined by Articles II and III and under otaman Petliura's leadership.
These efforts ultimately resulted in the League of Nations declaring on February 23, 1921 that Galicia lay outside the territory of Poland, that Poland did not have the mandate to establish administrative control in that country, and that Poland was merely the occupying military power of Eastern Galicia, whose fate would be determined by the Council of Ambassadors at the League of Nations.
The government of the West Ukrainian People's Republic then disbanded, while the Polish government reneged on its promise of autonomy for eastern Galicia.
From November 22 to November 25 elections took place in Ukrainian-controlled territory for the 150-member Ukrainian National Council that was to serve as the legislative body.
Subordinated to him was the State Secretariat, whose members included Kost Levytsky (president of the secretariat and the Republic's minister of finance), Dmytro Vitovsky (head of the armed forces), Lonhyn Tsehelsky (secretary of internal affairs), and Oleksander Barvinsky (secretary of education and religious affairs), among others.
The country essentially had a two-party political system, dominated by the Ukrainian National Democrats and by its smaller rival, the Ukrainian Radical Party.
The ruling National Democrats gave some of their seats to minor parties in order to ensure that the government represented a broad national coalition.
In terms of the Ukrainian National Council's social background, 57.1% of its members came from priestly families, 23.8% from peasant households, 4.8% from urban backgrounds, and 2.4% from the petty nobility.
In terms of the identified council members' vocational background, approximately 30% were lawyers, 22% were teachers, 14% were farmers, 13% were priests, and 5% were civil servants.
The West Ukrainian People's Republic governed an area with a population of approximately 4 million people for much of its nine-month existence.
Lviv functioned as the Republic's capital from November 1 until the loss of that city to Polish forces on November 21, followed by Ternopil until late December 1918 and then by Stanislaviv (present-day Ivano-Frankivsk) until May 26, 1919.
Despite the war, the West Ukrainian People's Republic maintained the stability of the pre-war Austrian administration intact, employing Ukrainian and Polish professionals.
The county, regional, and local courts continued to function as they had while the country had been a part of Austria, as did schools, the postal service, telegraphs and railroads.
Likewise, the government generally retained the Austrian system of tax collection, although war losses had impoverished the population and the amount of taxes collected was minimal.
Although ethnic Poles represented only a small minority in the rural areas, prior to World War I almost 39% of eastern Galician lands had been in the hands of large Polish landowners.
The Western Ukrainian People's Republic passed laws that confiscated vast manorial estates from private landlords and distributed this land to landless peasants.
The government was able to mobilize 100,000 soldiers in the spring of 1919, but due to a lack of military supplies only 40,000 were battle-ready.
According to Hrytsak during the entire time of its existence there were no cases of mass repressions against national minorities in territories held by the West Ukrainian People's Republic, Hrytsak states that this differentiated the Ukrainian government from that of Poland.
Katarzyna Hibel writes that while officially West Ukrainian People's Republic like Poland declared guarantees of rights of its national minorities, in reality both countries were violating them and treated other foreign nationalities like fifth column.
According to this law, however, members of national minorities had the right to communicate with the government in their own languages.
Historian Rafał Galuba writes that Polish population was treated as second class citizens by West Ukrainian authorities After 1 November several members of Polish associations were arrested or interned by Ukrainian authorities; similar fate awaited officials who refused to swear an oath of loyalty to Ukrainian state.
On 6 November a ban on Polish press and publications was issued in Lviv by Ukrainian authorities and printing presses demolished (Poles had similarly banned Ukrainian publications in territories they controlled ) Ukrainian authorities tried to intimidate Polish population in Lviv by sending soldiers and armed trucks into the streets and dispersed crowds that could turn to Polish demonstrations.
Christoph Mick states that initially, the Ukrainian government refused to take Polish hostages but as both the Polish civilian and military resistance to Ukrainian forces grew, Polish civilians were threatened with summary executions by Ukrainian commander in chief for alleged attacks and shots on Ukrainian soldiers.
In response, the Polish side proposed a peaceful solution of the conflict and joint Polish-Ukrainian militia to oversee the public safety in the city.
On 29 May 1919 archbishop Jozef Bilczewski sent a message to Ignacy Paderewski attending Peace Conference in Paris, asking for help in facing brutal murders of Polish priests and civilians by Ukrainians.
All fieldwork was stopped, the harvest destroyed and machinery purposely broken; Poles also issued to keep up the morale among the population.
In response Ukrainian authorities engaged in terror, including mass executions, court martial and set up detention centers where some Poles were interned.
The conditions in these camps involved unheated wooden barracks, lack of bedding and lack of medical care, resulting in high levels of morbidity from typhoid.
Estimated casualties at these camps include nearly 900 at a camp in Kosiv, according to various sources from 300 to 600 (dying from typhoid) in Mikulińce, 100 in Kołomyja, and 16 to 40 in Brzeżany, due to unheated barracks at temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius.
Mick acknowledges that Ukrainian side during the siege of Lviv stopped caring about supplies reaching the city and attempted to disrupt water supply to city.
Although relations between Poles and the West Ukrainian People's Republic were antagonistic, those between the Republic and its Jewish citizens was generally neutral or positive.
Deep-seated rivalries existed between the Jewish and Polish communities, and anti-Semitism, particularly supported by the Polish National Democratic Party, became a feature of Polish national ideology.
In contrast to the antagonistic position taken by Polish authorities towards Jews, the Ukrainian government actively supported Jewish cultural and political autonomy as a way of promoting its own legitimacy.
The Western Ukrainian government guaranteed Jewish cultural and national autonomy, provided Jewish communities with self-governing status, and promoted the formation of Jewish national councils which, with the approval of the Western Ukrainian government, established the Central Jewish National Council in December 1918 to represent Jewish interests in relation to the Ukrainian government and to the Western allies.
The Council of Ministers of the West Ukrainian National Republic bought Yiddish-language textbooks and visual aids for Jewish schools and provided assistance to Jewish victims of the Polish pogrom in Lviv.
Reflecting the republic's demographics, approximately one-third of the seats in the national parliament were reserved for the national minorities (Poles, Jews, Slovaks and others).
The Poles boycotted the elections, while the Jews, despite declaring their neutrality in the Polish-Ukrainian conflict, participated and were represented by approximately 10 percent of the delegates.
Localized anti-Jewish assaults and robberies by Ukrainian peasants and soldiers, while far fewer in number and less brutal than similar actions by Poles, occurred between January and April 1919.
The government publicly condemned such actions and intervened in defence of the Jewish community, imprisoning and even executing perpetrators of such crimes.
By the orders of Yevhen Petrushevych it was forbidden to mobilize Jews against their will or to otherwise force them to contribute to the Ukrainian military effort.
Although Jewish political organizations officially declared their neutrality in the Polish-Ukrainian struggle, many individual Jews offered their support or sympathized with the West Ukrainian government in its conflict with Poland.
Jewish officers of the defunct Austro-Hungarian army joined the West Ukrainian military, and Jewish judges, lawyers, doctors and railroad employees joined the West Ukrainian civil service.
Jews were also able to create their own police units, and in some locations the Ukrainian government gave local Jewish militias responsibility for the maintenance of security and order.
Jews fielded their own battalion in the army of the Western Ukrainian National Republic, and Jewish youths worked as scouts for the West Ukrainian military.
In general, Jews made up the largest group of non-ethnic Ukrainians who participated in all branches of the West Ukrainian government.
The liberal attitude taken towards Jews by the Western Ukrainian government could be attributed to the Habsburg tradition of inter-ethnic tolerance and cooperation leaving its mark on the intelligentsia and military officers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
The republic issued about one hundred types of postage stamps during its brief existence, all but two of which were overprints of existing stamps of Austria, Austria-Hungary or Bosnia.
The known elementary particles respect rotation and translation symmetry but do not respect mirror reflection symmetry (also called P-symmetry or parity).
Parity violation in weak interactions was first postulated by Tsung Dao Lee and Chen Ning Yang in 1956 as a solution to the τ-θ puzzle.
These experiments were performed half a year later and they confirmed that the weak interactions of the known particles violate parity.
However, parity symmetry can be restored as a fundamental symmetry of nature if the particle content is enlarged so that every particle has a mirror partner.
Mirror particles interact amongst themselves in the same way as ordinary particles, except where ordinary particles have left-handed interactions, mirror particles have right-handed interactions.
While in the case of unbroken parity symmetry the masses of particles are the same as their mirror partners, in case of broken parity symmetry the mirror partners are lighter or heavier.
The only way mirror matter can interact with ordinary matter via forces other than gravity is via kinetic mixing of mirror bosons with ordinary bosons or via the exchange of Holdom particles.
In another context, mirror matter has been proposed to give rise to an effective Higgs mechanism responsible for the electroweak symmetry breaking.
In such a scenario, mirror fermions have masses on the order of 1 TeV since they interact with an additional interaction, while some of the mirror bosons are identical to the ordinary gauge bosons.
Sheldon Glashow has shown that if at some high energy scale particles exist which interact strongly with both ordinary and mirror particles, radiative corrections will lead to a mixing between photons and mirror photons.
The mixing between photons and mirror photons could be present in tree level Feynman diagrams or arise as a consequence of quantum corrections due to the presence of particles that carry both ordinary and mirror charges.
In the latter case, the quantum corrections have to vanish at the one and two loop level Feynman diagrams, otherwise the predicted value of the kinetic mixing parameter would be larger than experimentally allowed.
If mirror matter does exist in large abundances in the universe and if it interacts with ordinary matter via photon-mirror photon mixing, then this could be detected in dark matter direct detection experiments such as DAMA/NaI and its successor DAMA/LIBRA.
In fact, it is one of the few dark matter candidates which can explain the positive DAMA/NaI dark matter signal whilst still being consistent with the null results of other dark matter experiments.
Mirror matter may also be detected in electromagnetic field penetration experiments and there would also be consequences for planetary science and astrophysics.
Because mirror matter is analogous to ordinary matter, it is then to be expected that a fraction of the mirror matter exists in the form of mirror galaxies, mirror stars, mirror planets etc.
This includes study of the growth, interactions and characteristics of microscopic organisms such as bacteria, algae, fungi, and some types of parasites and their vectors.
Microbiologists generally work in some way to increase scientific knowledge, or to utilize that knowledge in a way that improves outcomes in medicine or some industry.
Microbiologists working in the medical field, such as clinical microbiologists, may see patients or patient samples and do various tests to detect disease-causing organisms.
For microbiologists working in academia, duties include performing research in an academic laboratory, writing grant proposals to fund research, as well as some amount of teaching and designing courses.
Microbiologists in industry roles may have similar duties except research is performed in industrial labs in order to develop or improve commercial products and processes.
Microbiologists working in government may have a variety of duties, including laboratory research, writing and advising, developing and reviewing regulatory processes, and overseeing grants offered to outside institutions.
Clinical microbiologists tend to work in government or hospital laboratories where their duties include analyzing clinical specimens to detect microorganisms responsible for disease.
Some microbiologists instead work in the field of science outreach, where they develop programs and material to educate students and non-scientists and stimulate interest in the field of microbiology.
These degree programs frequently include courses in chemistry, physics, statistics, biochemistry, and genetics, followed by more specialized courses in sub-fields of interest.
This often includes time spent as a postdoctoral researcher wherein one leads research projects and prepares to transition to an independent career.
Postdoctoral researchers are often evaluated largely based on their record of published academic papers, as well as recommendations from their supervisors and colleagues.
This is true for clinical microbiologists, as well as those involved in food safety and some aspects of pharmaceutical/medical device development.
Microbiologists will continue to be needed to advance basic science knowledge and to contribute to development of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products.
In the United States, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that employment of microbiologists will grow 4 percent from 2014 (22,400 employed) to 2024 (23,200 employed).
This represents slower growth than the average occupation, as well as slower growth than life scientists as a whole (6 percent projected).
Lynda Susan Weinman (born January 24, 1955) is an American business owner, computer instructor, and author, who founded an online software training website, lynda.com, with her husband, Bruce Heavin.
Weinman, with self-taught computer skills, worked in the film industry as a special effects animator, and became a faculty member at Art Center College of Design, UCLA, American Film Institute, and San Francisco State University multimedia studies program teaching computer graphics, animation, interactive design, and motion graphics.
Weinman attributes her initial interest in computers to her having taught herself how to use an Apple II when a boyfriend brought it home.
The company was founded in Ojai, California and has since moved to Ventura and Carpinteria, California, where, as of 2013, it employs nearly 500 full-time staff members and more than 140 teachers who earn royalties from their shared revenue model.
Lynda.com evolved from its original conception as a free web resource for Lynda's students, to the site for her books on web design, to the registration hub for physical classrooms and conferences, to an online virtual knowledge library, where today, members may watch software and technology courses in several categories (3D and animation, audio, business, design, development, home computing, photography, video, and web and interactive design).
The company has since acquired the companies video2brain, an Austrian-based provider of online classes in web design and programming, available in German, French, Spanish, and English languages, and Compilr, provider of an online editor and sandbox.
Lynda.com and United Digital Artists Productions, Inc. (UAD) co-founded the Flashforward Conferences and the Flash Film Festival, which first took place in 1999.
The Flashforward Conference, the first event focused on Macromedia Flash, held fourteen events in San Francisco, New York, London, and Amsterdam, serving more than 20,000 attendees over six years.
The Flash Film Festival presented more than 200 awards to Flash sites and applications, to winners from more than 30 countries.
Weinman is the namesake and benefactor for the 'Lynda Lab', the Experimental Effects Lab in the Center for Creative and Applied Media (CCAM) at her alma mater, The Evergreen State College.
Weinman and Heavin also have contributed to scholarships at Art Center College of Design, as well as an ongoing endowment for additional scholarships.
Carlos Castillo Armas (; November 4, 1914 – July 26, 1957) was a Guatemalan military officer and politician who was the 28th president of Guatemala, serving from 1954 to 1957 after taking power in a coup d'état.
Arana and Castillo Armas opposed the newly elected government of Juan José Arévalo; after Arana's failed 1949 coup, Castillo Armas went into exile in Honduras.
Influenced by Cold War fears of communism and the pressure from the United Fruit Company, in 1952 the US government of President Harry Truman authorized Operation PBFORTUNE, a plot to overthrow Arévalo's leftist successor, President Jacobo Árbenz.
Castillo Armas was to lead the coup, but the plan was abandoned before being revived in a new form by US President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1953.
Despite initial setbacks to the rebel forces, US support for the rebels made the Guatemalan army reluctant to fight, and Árbenz resigned on June 27.
A series of military juntas briefly held power during negotiations that ended with Castillo Armas assuming the presidency on July 7.
Castillo Armas consolidated his power in an October 1954 election, in which he was the only candidate; the MLN, which he led, was the only party allowed to contest congressional elections.
He created a National Committee of Defense Against Communism, which investigated over 70,000 people and added 10 percent of the population to a list of suspected communists.
His reversal of the reforms of his predecessors sparked a series of leftist insurgencies in the country after his death, culminating in the Guatemalan Civil War of 1960 to 1996.
Ubico's successor Federico Ponce Vaides pledged to hold free elections, but continued to suppress dissent, leading progressives in the army to plot a coup against him.
The plot was initially led by Árbenz and Aldana Sandoval; Sandoval persuaded Francisco Javier Arana, the influential commander of the Guardia de Honor, to join the coup in its final stages.
For seven months, between October 1945 and April 1946, Castillo Armas received training at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, coming in contact with American intelligence officers.
After serving on the General Staff, he became director of the military academy until early 1949, at which point he was made the military commander at Mazatenango, a remote military garrison.
He was at Mazatenango when Arana launched his failed coup attempt against Arévalo on July 18, 1949, and was killed: Castillo Armas did not hear of the revolt until four days later.
Nick Cullather and Andrew Fraser state that Castillo Armas was arrested in August 1949, that Árbenz had him imprisoned under doubtful charges until December 1949, and that he was found in Honduras a month later.
Benefiting from decades of support from the US government, by 1930 the company was already the largest landowner and employer in Guatemala.
Feeling threatened by Árbenz's reforms, the company responded with an intensive lobbying campaign directed at members of the United States government.
Walter Bedell Smith, the Director of Central Intelligence, ordered J. C. King, the chief of the Western Hemisphere Division, to examine whether dissident Guatemalans could topple the Árbenz government if they had support from the authoritarian governments in Central America.
Castillo Armas had encountered the CIA in January 1950, when a CIA officer learned he was attempting to get weapons from Anastasio Somoza García and Rafael Trujillo, the right-wing authoritarian rulers of Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, respectively.
Speaking to the CIA, he had stated that he had the support of the Guardia Civil (the Guatemalan Civil Guard), the army garrison at Quezaltenango, as well as the commander of Matamoros, the largest fortress in Guatemala City.
A few days after his last meeting with the CIA, Castillo Armas had led an assault against Matamoros along with a handful of supporters.
The engineer dispatched by the CIA to liaise with Castillo Armas informed the CIA that Castillo Armas had the financial backing of Somoza and Trujillo.
Somoza was involved in the scheme; the CIA also contacted Trujillo, and Marcos Pérez Jiménez, the US-supported right-wing dictator of Venezuela, who were both supportive, and agreed to contribute some funding.
Accounts of the final termination of the coup attempt vary: some argue that it was due to the US State Department discovering the coup, while others say that it was due to Somoza spreading information about the CIA's role in it, leading to the coup's cover being blown.
Castillo Armas's services were retained by the CIA, who paid him $3,000 a week, which allowed him to maintain a small force.
The money paid to Castillo Armas has been described as a way of making sure that he did not attempt any premature action.
Castillo Armas made plans to use groups of soldiers in civilian clothing from Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador to kill political and military leaders in Guatemala.
Senior figures in his administration, including Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and his brother and CIA director Allen Dulles, had close ties to the United Fruit Company, making Eisenhower more strongly predisposed than Truman to support Árbenz's overthrow.
The plans included drawing up lists of people within Árbenz's government to be assassinated if the coup were to be carried out.
A team of diplomats who would support PBSUCCESS was created; the leader of this team was John Peurifoy, who took over as the US ambassador in Guatemala in October 1953.
Although his status as a civilian gave him an advantage over Castillo Armas, he was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1954, taking him out of the reckoning.
This led to the selection of Castillo Armas, the former lieutenant of Arana, who had been in exile following the failed coup in 1949.
He also had the advantage of having had a clerical education during his exile, and therefore the support of Guatemala's archbishop.
Castillo Armas was given enough money to recruit a small force of approximately 150 mercenaries from among Guatemalan exiles and the populations of nearby countries.
The CIA established training camps in Nicaragua and Honduras, and supplied them with weapons as well as several planes flown by American pilots.
Prior to the invasion of Guatemala, the US signed military agreements with both of those countries, allowing it to move heavier arms freely.
These preparations were only superficially covert: the CIA intended Árbenz to find out about them, as a part of its plan to convince the Guatemalan people that the overthrow of Árbenz was inevitable.
The US propaganda campaign began well before the invasion, with the United States Information Agency writing hundreds of articles on Guatemala based on CIA reports, and distributing tens of thousands of leaflets throughout Latin America.
The CIA persuaded the governments that were friendly to it to screen video footage of Guatemala that supported the US version of events.
This station began broadcasting on May 1, 1954, carrying anti-communist messages and telling its listeners to resist the Árbenz government and support the liberating forces of Castillo Armas.
The station claimed to be broadcasting from deep within the jungles of the Guatemalan hinterland, a message that many listeners believed.
In actuality, the broadcasts were concocted in Miami by Guatemalan exiles, flown to Central America, and broadcast through a mobile transmitter.
On June 15, 1954 these four forces left their bases in Honduras and El Salvador and assembled in various towns just outside the Guatemalan border.
The largest force was supposed to attack the Atlantic harbor town of Puerto Barrios, while the others were to attack the smaller towns of Esquipulas, Jutiapa, and Zacapa, the Guatemalan Army's largest frontier post.
The invasion plan quickly faced difficulties; the 60-man force was intercepted and jailed by Salvadoran policemen before it got to the border.
The invasion provoked a brief panic in the capital, which quickly decreased as the rebels failed to make any significant headway.
Travelling on foot and weighed down by weapons and supplies, Castillo Armas's forces took several days to reach their targets, although their planes blew up a bridge on June 19.
The force of 122 men targeting Zacapa was intercepted and decisively beaten by a small garrison of 30 Guatemalan soldiers, with only 30 rebels escaping death or capture.
The force that attacked Puerto Barrios was defeated by policemen and armed dockworkers, with many of the rebels fleeing back to Honduras.
These attacks caused little material damage, but they had a significant psychological impact, leading many citizens to believe that the invasion force was more powerful than it actually was.
Gleijeses stated that if it were not for US support for the rebellion, the officer corps of the Guatemalan army would have remained loyal to Árbenz because although not uniformly his supporters, they were more wary of Castillo Armas; they had strong nationalist views, and were opposed to foreign interference.
Árbenz decided to arm the civilian population to defend the capital; this plan failed, as an insufficient number of people volunteered.
At this point, Colonel Carlos Enrique Díaz de León, the chief of staff of the Guatemalan army, reneged on his support for the president and began plotting to overthrow Árbenz with the assistance of other senior army officers.
Historian Hugo Jiménez wrote that Castillo Armas's invasion did not pose a significant direct threat to Árbenz; rather, the coup led by Diaz and the Guatemalan army was the critical factor in his overthrow.
Immediately afterward, Díaz announced that he would be taking over the presidency in the name of the Guatemalan Revolution, and stated that the Guatemalan army would still fight against Castillo Armas's invasion.
At first, Díaz attempted to placate Peurifoy by forming a junta with Colonel Elfego Monzón and Colonel José Angel Sánchez, and led by himself.
Peurifoy continued to insist that he resign, until Díaz was overthrown by a rapid bloodless coup led by Monzón, who, according to Gleijeses, was more pliable.
The US State Department persuaded Óscar Osorio, the dictator of ElSalvador, to invite Monzón, Castillo Armas, and other significant individuals to participate in peace talks in San Salvador.
Osorio agreed to do so, and after Díaz had been deposed, Monzón and Castillo Armas arrived in the Salvadoran capital on June 30.
Castillo Armas wished to incorporate some of his rebel forces into the Guatemalan military; Monzón, was reluctant to allow this, leading to difficulties in the negotiations.
The negotiations nearly broke down on this issue on the very first day, and so Peurifoy, who had remained in Guatemala City to give the impression that the US was not heavily involved, traveled to San Salvador.
Peurifoy was able to force an agreement due to the fact that neither Monzón nor Castillo Armas was in a position to become or remain president without the support of the US.
The deal was announced at 4:45am on July 2, 1954, and under its terms, Castillo Armas and his subordinate, Major Enrique Trinidad Oliva, became members of the junta led by Monzón, although Monzón remained president.
The settlement negotiated by Castillo Armas and Monzón also included a statement that the five-man junta would rule for fifteen days, during which a president would be chosen.
Monzón, left outnumbered on the junta, also resigned, and on July 8, Castillo Armas was unanimously elected president of the junta.
Castillo Armas was the only candidate; he won the election with 99 percent of the vote, completing his transition into power.
Castillo Armas became affiliated with a party named the Movimiento de Liberación Nacional (MLN), which remained the ruling party of Guatemala from 1954 to 1957.
It was led by Mario Sandoval Alarcón, and was a coalition of municipal politicians, bureaucrats, coffee planters, and members of the military, all of whom were opposed to the reforms of the Guatemalan Revolution.
Historians have estimated that more than 3,000 people were arrested following the coup, and that approximately 1,000 agricultural workers were killed by Castillo Armas's troops in the province of Tiquisate.
In August 1954, the government passed Decree59, which permitted the security forces to detain anybody on the blacklist of the CDNCC for six months without trial.
Castillo Armas also removed the right to vote from all illiterate people, who constituted two-thirds of the country's population, and annulled the 1945 constitution, giving himself virtually unbridled power.
His government launched a concerted campaign against trade unionists, in which some of the most severe violence was directed at workers on the plantations of the United Fruit Company.
His presidency faced opposition from the beginning: agricultural laborers continued to fight Castillo Armas's forces until August 1954, and there were numerous uprisings against him, especially in the areas that had experienced significant agricultural reform.
On Labor Day in 1956, members of the government were booed off a stage at a labor rally, while officials who had previously been in the Árbenz administration were cheered.
Overall, the government had to deal with four serious rebellions, in addition to the coup attempt by the cadets in 1954.
Castillo Armas's government also attempted to reverse the agrarian reform project initiated by Árbenz, and large areas of land were seized from the agrarian laborers who had received them under Árbenz and given to large landowners.
Thousands of peasants who attempted to remain on the lands they had received from Árbenz were arrested by the Guatemalan police.
However, the repressive atmosphere at the time in which the decrees were passed meant that very few peasants could take advantage of them.
Ultimately, Castillo Armas did not go as far towards restoring the power and privileges of his upper-class and business constituency as they would have liked.
Castillo Armas's dependence on the officer corps and the mercenaries who had put him in power led to widespread corruption, and the Eisenhower administration was soon subsidizing the Guatemalan government with many millions of USdollars.
Castillo Armas proved unable to attract sufficient business investment, and in September 1954 asked the US for 260million USD in aid.
Despite examining many hundreds of thousands of documents, this operation failed to find any evidence that the Soviet Union was controlling communists within Guatemala.
Castillo also found himself too dependent on a coalition of economic interests, including the cotton and sugar industries in Guatemala and real estate, timber, and oil interests in the US, to be able to seriously pursue reforms that he had promised, such as free trade with the US.
By April 1955 the Guatemalan government's foreign exchange reserves had declined from $42million at the end of 1954 to just $3.4million.
By the end of 1954 the number of unemployed people in the country had risen to 20,000, four times higher than it had been during the latter years of the Árbenz government.
In April 1955 the Eisenhower administration approved an aid package of $53million and began to underwrite the debt of the Guatemalan government.
Although officials in the USgovernment complained about Castillo Armas's incompetence and corruption, he also received praise in that country for acting against communists, and his human rights violations generally went unremarked.
In 1955, during a corn famine, Castillo Armas gave corn import licenses to some of his old fighters in return for a $25,000 bribe.
Castillo Armas returned some of the privileges that the United Fruit Company had had under Ubico, but the company did not benefit substantially from them; it went into a gradual decline following disastrous experiments with breeding and pesticides, falling demand, and an anti-trust action.
The assassin, named Romeo Vásquez Sánchez, was a member of the presidential guard; he approached Castillo Armas as he was walking with his wife and shot him twice.
There is no conclusive information about whether Vásquez was acting alone or whether he was a part of a larger conspiracy.
However, supporters of Miguel Ydígoras Fuentes, who had also been a candidate in the election, rioted, after which the army seized power and annulled the result, and another election was held.
Historian Nick Cullather wrote that by overthrowing Árbenz, the CIA ended up undermining its own initial goal of a stable Guatemalan government.
He further states that, although Castillo Armas probably would have committed the human rights violations that he did even without a US presence, the US State Department had certainly aided and abetted the process.
The rolling back of the progressive policies of the previous civilian governments resulted in a series of leftist insurgencies in the countryside beginning in 1960.
This triggered the Guatemalan Civil War between the US-backed military government of Guatemala and leftist insurgents, who often boasted a sizable following among the citizenry.
An additional eleven members were allocated by a London wide top-up vote, with the proviso that parties must win at least 5% of the vote to qualify for list seats.
This latter rule prevented both the British National Party and the Respect Party from winning a seat each as both fell just short of the 5% threshold.
This election saw losses for Labour and the Greens and gains for both the Liberal Democrats and UKIP, who achieved their first representation in the Assembly since its creation in 2000.
The Conservative Party gained Brent and Harrow from Labour (who lost 7.6% of their vote), however they lost it again in the 2008 election.
There were also large swings away from Labour in Barnet and Camden, City and East, Ealing and Hillingdon, Greenwich and Lewisham, Havering and Redbridge and West Central.
The Liberal Democrats lost votes in most constituencies, but made gains in Enfield and Haringey, Lambeth and Southwark and Merton and Wandsworth.
UKIP gained large percentages of the vote in Bexley and Bromley, Croydon and Sutton, Greenwich and Lewisham and Havering and Redbridge.
Animal Man was a minor character for his first twenty years, never gaining the popularity of other DC heroes such as Batman or Superman.
However, he became one of several DC properties, such as Shade, the Changing Man and Sandman, to be revived and revamped in the late 1980s for a more mature comics audience.
In the period that saw Alan Moore reinvent the Swamp Thing, and Neil Gaiman do the same with the Sandman, Animal Man was reimagined by Scottish writer Grant Morrison.
Although the series was initially conceived as a four-issue limited series, it was upgraded into an ongoing series following strong sales.
Buddy's wife Ellen, his son Cliff (9 years old at the beginning of the series), and his daughter Maxine (5 years old) featured prominently in most storylines, and his relationship with them, as husband, father, and provider, was an ongoing theme.
Buddy fought several menaces, such as an ancient, murderous spirit that was hunting him; brutal, murderous Thanagarian warriors; and even the easily defeated red robots of an elderly villain who was tired of life.
The series made deep, sometimes esoteric references to the entire DC canon, including B'wana Beast, the Mirror Master, and Arkham Asylum.
Soon after the launch of his series, Animal Man briefly became a member of Justice League Europe, appearing in several early issues of their series.
Following Morrison's run, Peter Milligan wrote a six-issue story featuring several surreal villains and heroes, exploring questions about identity and quantum physics and utilizing the textual cut-up technique popularized by William Burroughs.
Tom Veitch and Steve Dillon, then took over for 18 issues in which Buddy returns to his work as a movie stuntman and explores mystical totemic aspects of his powers.
The superhero elements of the book were largely removed—since Buddy was reborn as a kind of animal elemental, and legally deceased, he discarded his costume, stopped associating with other heroes, and generally abandoned his crimefighting role.
He co-founded the Life Power Church of Maxine to further an environmentalist message, drifting along U.S. Route 66 to settle in Montana.
A brief run by Jerry Prosser and Fred Harper featured a re-reborn Buddy as a white-haired shamanistic figure before the series was canceled after the 89th issue due to declining sales.
After the cancellation of his own series, Animal Man made cameos in several other titles, returning to his standard costumed form.
The storyline of the relaunched version essentially builds on previous Animal Man continuity with Buddy as a happily married family man and superhero.
Buddy is forced to take his family on the run after he discovers that his daughter Maxine is the avatar of The Red (the force which sustains all animal life), and that agents of The Rot (the elemental force of decay that are also called The Black) are seeking to kill her.
After an apparently unsuccessful stint as a superhero, followed by a hiatus where he utilized his powers to work as a film stuntman, Baker decided to restart and make a career out of it after being inspired by the headline-making Justice League International; this is where his self-titled series begins.
Through the series, Animal Man becomes a man of great compassion toward all creatures, an ardent animal rights activist, an environmentalist, and a vegetarian.
Later, he finds his link to the M-field has been passed on to his daughter, Maxine, who is also connected to the animal kingdom.
A jacket was added to Animal Man's costume (so he could have pockets and a place to put his keys as well as notes from his wife).
However, this jacket was denim and not a leather jacket: Buddy specifically discusses that he will not wear leather, out of moral considerations.
An early aspect of the character was his desire for fame, and is manifested by his wish to be in the Justice League.
Buddy joins the newly formed Justice League Europe and bonds with Dmitri of the Rocket Reds over the shared experiences of being fathers.
The conditions he witnesses at the testing facilities compel him to become vegetarian, a sudden decision that briefly puts him at odds with his family.
He also begins experiencing evidences of his existence within a comic book, although he does not immediately understand them for what they are.
He is targeted for murder by a mysterious organization upset with his environmental work, and must face the new Mirror Master.
Baker is also pursued by Dr. James Highwater, a physicist with no memory of any prior existence, and seemingly no purpose other than to contact Baker.
While away on a vision quest with Highwater, in which he learns the true nature of his powers and briefly sees the comic's reader, Baker's family is brutally murdered by an assassin sent by the corporate heads seeking to stop his environmental work.
With the help of the Mirror Master (who had turned down the hit), Baker tracks down the businessmen and assassin and kills them.
While trying to undo his family's deaths with a time machine, Baker accidentally becomes warped through time and meets the Phantom Stranger, Jason Blood, and the Immortal Man in the 1960s, who help him learn to accept his grief.
Baker is then contacted by the aliens and taken to Arkham, where he stops the Psycho-Pirate and prevents damage to the continuity.
Ultimately, Baker encounters his own writer (Grant Morrison himself), and the two share a conversation on the relationship between the creator and the fictional characters whose lives he writes.
After this encounter, Baker is sent back home and his family are restored back to life; it is left ambiguous as to whether or not Baker remembers the full nature of these events.
Next, after falling into a coma, Buddy finds himself in a strange alternative reality, which he correctly deduces is a divergent phase of existence and is then able to return home.
They are themselves targeted by a group of shamans, one of whom was present at Animal Man's origin, and who are aware of the yellow aliens and the writer.
During this time, Baker's daughter Maxine begins demonstrating powers similar to his own and is able to communicate with the head shaman, who is attempting to bring Baker to him.
After an accident in which Baker kills the entire population of the San Diego Zoo, his wife takes their daughter to live with her mother in Vermont to avoid the media attention.
Labs for his expertise, and while there he uncovers a conspiracy involving one of the shamans, but is mentally trapped in cyberspace.
He occasionally lent his talents to various superhero groups, including the JLA and the Forgotten Heroes, and played a prominent role in the Swamp Thing's task force, the Totems.
This marked the reappearance of Buddy in costume, and heralded his return to the mainstream DC Universe (although his Vertigo appearances were clearly meant to take place inside the DCU as well).
Animal Man kept out of the spotlight during the OMAC Project that was happening, and was very devastated when he heard the news that his good friend Rocket Red VII was killed by the OMACS in Moscow.
The two of them had been good friends since the JLE back in the 80'S, they both had families, and got along quite well in the JLE.
In issue #36, during a battle with Lady Styx and her horde, Animal Man is killed by a necrotoxin, which causes its victims to rise again in the service of Lady Styx.
Animal Man must reach out to another life form in order to survive, and claims the abilities of a group of Sun-Eaters, including their homing sense.
He observes his wife from a wormhole in space provided by the aliens, only to discover that Ellen is seeing another man (though it is later revealed she only reluctantly went out with one of Buddy's friends).
She delivers Buddy's jacket and faints from weakness and surprise when she sees him alive, leaving the family to care for her.
Buddy's powers have been in a state of flux, not working at all at some times and manifesting strange abilities at others, such as creating a whirlwind or firing energy beams.
Once their extraterrestrial trip is done, Starfire leaves the Baker home, telling them that they will always be in her heart.
2) #25, Buddy is drawn into Vixen's animal totem and captured by the trickster god Anansi, who claims to be the one who gave Buddy his powers, having disguised himself as the aliens (whilst reminding Vixen and Buddy that he constantly lies).
After escaping the totem and defeating Anansi, Animal Man went back to the JLA Headquarters to thank the JLA for their aid.
While he and his family are entertaining Starfire and Donna Troy, Buddy is approached by Mikaal Tomas and Congorilla, who ask him for help in tracking down the supervillain Prometheus.
He accompanies them to the JLA Watchtower to seek help from the Justice League, and is present when the Red Arrow is mauled by an unknown attacker.
While searching for the Red Arrow's assailant, Buddy is assaulted and brutally injured by Freddy Freeman, who ultimately turns out to be Prometheus in disguise.
Buddy is later revealed to be a member of the JLA's reserve team, and joins the League during their battle against Eclipso.
Buddy later starts to suffer strange nightmares about three monstrous figures, known as the Hunters Three, and his own daughter Maxine, who has started to manifest powers of her own by which she can seemingly resurrect dead animals.
When Buddy and his wife Ellen discover this, Maxine tells them that someone has been calling her from a certain place and points to the red tattoo on Buddy's chest, referring to The Red.
When their neighbor Mr. Duffy starts to notice the revived pets of the Baker family, Maxine retaliates by turning Mr. Duffy's hands into bird talons.
Meanwhile, three hippopotamuses give birth to the Hunters Three, who assume the form of three zookeepers, and prepare to hunt Buddy and Maxine.
While in The Red, Buddy and Maxine find themselves face to face with a group of massive animal men called the Totems.
The Totems welcome Buddy as Maxine identifies them as the old Animal Men, since they have been coming to her in her dreams.
Thus, the Totems give Buddy the identity of Animal Man so that he can train Maxine for the upcoming battle between The Red and The Black (a.k.a.
Buddy tells them that Maxine is four years old and is not old enough to fight in any of the wars.
When Animal Man is outmatched by the two Hunters, Maxine ends up coming to the rescue, using her abilities to fend them off.
After Maxine heals Animal Man, the Totems tell them that the Hunters Three were formerly avatars of The Red, until their job was done and they ended up led astray by The Black.
Since the other avatars of The Red are dead, the Hunters Three are now planning to target Maxine and Animal Man must protect her.
While the ones that are associated with The Green can help Animal Man, a cat Totem named Ignatius (under the alias of Socks the Cat) goes with Animal Man and Maxine, despite the cost of being unable to return to the Parliament of the Limbs.
When the Hunters Three drag Cliff and Detective Krenshaw into the woods, they demand that Cliff call his father to them.
While Ellen fights to keep the Hunters Three from devouring Cliff, Animal Man, Maxine, and Ignatius fly towards Mary's farm, where they learn from Mary that Ellen and Cliff are in danger.
When one of the Hunters fills Animal Man with visions of when they finally take over Maxine and make her an avatar of The Black, Maxine uses her abilities to revive the dead animals and send them to help her father.
The Hunter states that, by allowing Maxine to use her powers, she has begun to spread the influence of The Black.
While Animal Man tells Maxine that what had happened isn't her fault, Ignatius states that there is no going back as only the Swamp Thing can save them now.
Still fleeing from the Hunters Three, Animal Man and the Baker family are informed by Ignatius that they still need to find the Swamp Thing in order to get help in protecting Maxine from the Hunters Three.
Stopping in a nearby town, Cliff looks for a charger for his cell phone while Maxine tells Ellen and Mary about the Hunters Three and their association with The Black.
Later that night, Animal Man has a dream where John Constantine shows him that Maxine will gain control over his powers and fight the Hunters Three with the Swamp Thing should Animal Man fail to protect her.
Although Maxine is defeated, she disappears into The Red and forms a new body after a nearby fox lost its life.
After Ellen finds her and wraps a blanket around her, Maxine sends her old body into The Red to decompose rapidly.
During battle, Animal Man discovers that the Black-infected animals are the thralls of Sethe, the monstrous creature that Animal Man witnessed in a prophetic dream.
While his consciousness is in The Red, Animal Man meets a being called the Shepherd, who helps those who have lost their way in The Red.
The Hunter in Animal Man's body arrives in Los Animas, where he uses the nearby roadkill to enter The Rot and capture Maxine.
The Shepherd is convinced by Animal Man to guide him to the Totems, where they must traverse through the Sea of Blood and the Desert of Flesh, though parts of The Rot have been sighted in their path.
In La Junta, Colorado, the Baker family encounters John Constantine, Madame Xanadu, and Zatanna of the Justice League Dark, who tell them that Buddy has been lost and they are in danger.
The army of The Red learn that Animal Man is the father of the avatar of The Red and agree to take him to the Parliament of Limbs.
When Animal Man sees different Totems, the Shepherd states that the Totems of The Red change depending on the avatar of The Red's imagination, meaning that Maxine is getting stronger.
Back in The Red, the Totems are not pleased that Animal Man let his body get taken over by one of the Hunters Three.
Animal Man begs for them to give him another chance since they do not have time to find another champion to protect Maxine.
The Totems call forth the Royal Tailors (a pair of yellow alien-like creatures), who inspect Buddy to find a way to make him more durable.
When Animal Man, Cliff, and Ignatius return to the Baker family, Cliff feels woozy and prophetically warns Animal Man that the avatar of The Black is Anton Arcane.
When they arrive in The Black, Animal Man and the Swamp Thing soon find themselves one year into the future, where The Rot has infected most of the Earth.
Animal Man is brought to the Red Kingdom, which used to be San Diego, where Animal Man is informed that the Red Kingdom and the Green Kingdom were the only things left immune to The Rot following Animal Man and the Swamp Thing getting trapped in The Black.
Just then, the Red Kingdom is attacked by an army led by Felix Faust that consists of the Un-Men, the Rotlings, and the rotted heroes and villains.
The Protectors of the Red Kingdom accompany Animal Man in his mission to rescue Maxine, leaving the Red Kingdom in the protection of the Shepherd and the Totems.
Frankenstein tells the heroes that he built the Patchwork Army to be immune to The Black and has heard that Anton Arcane has imprisoned someone beneath Metropolis.
When they arrive in Metropolis, it has been taken over by The Green and they find that the prisoner in question is the Green Lantern Medphyll.
Animal Man and his party learn from Medphyll that the Guardians of the Universe selected him to be Earth's Green Lantern after Earth had fallen to The Black.
When Blackbriar Thorn finds Medphyll free, Animal Man assumes the powers of a termite to get Blackbriar Thorn out of his wooden body.
After recharging his ring from atop the ruins of the Daily Planet, Medphyll helps the Patchwork Army fight off the forces of The Black.
Animal Man and his allies arrive outside of Anton Arcade's castle, which is guarded by rotted versions of the Justice League.
Medphyll then senses that The Green has arrived, as it shows the forces of Swamp Thing attacking the Rotlings and the Un-Men.
When the forces of The Red catch up, Animal Man goes to Swamp Thing's side as Anton unleashes corrupted versions of Maxine and Abigail Arcane.
When Animal Man is separated from the Swamp Thing, Maxine breaks the hold that the remaining Hunters Three have on her.
After Maxine uses her abilities to purge The Black from the remaining Hunters Three, thereby returning them to their previous forms, William Arcane tries to kill Animal Man and Cliff sacrifices his life to kill William Arcane.
The Totems are against this since Cliff is a part of The Red, Maxine is still the avatar of The Red, and Animal Man must remain their champion.
Animal Man and the Justice League are based in Canada and are with some members of the old JLA series, like the Green Arrow, Stargirl, and new members.
With Adam Strange, Supergirl, and the Martian Manhunter, they are helping to find Adam Strange's missing girlfriend, Alana, in space, on their travels as the Justice League United.
After the events in Justice League United, Animal Man went back to care for his family, and took a long break.
Animal Man will be helping the Justice League with some other new reserve members like Adam Strange and the Swamp Thing.
Animal Man was seen as an emergency call on the JLA, the Teen Titans, and the JSA by Batman's request to call in all the heroes wanted to fix the Source Wall, and that there was going to be a war.
Animal Man was seen in issue # 30 of Justice League helping out the JLA, Teen Titans, and JSA with spacetime in the multiverse to defeat Lex Luther, and the Legion of Doom with the help of Perpetua bring tragedy to the DC Universe.
He does this by either focusing on a specific animal near him, or, as he learns later, by drawing power from the animal kingdom in general (this enables him to even mimic animals that are extinct).
During the prison break, Animal Man is ordered to kill Heat Wave by the Atomic Skull, but, despite his powers, he is defeated when Heat Wave bites his nose off and then shatters his skull against a stone staircase.
In his first appearance in the series he explains the importance of the animals left within the sanctuary belonging to Ra's, and explains to Damian the flaw in his fathers method, the short term sidedness that cost so many lives.
He later turns against the League when Damian convinces him, Vixen, and Jason Todd about the carnage Amazo is wreaking on humanity.
Joseph Stalin's rapid industrialization of the Soviet Union transformed the sleepy town into a major coal mining and industrial center in the 1930s.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Novokuznetsk serves as the administrative center of Novokuznetsky District, even though it is not a part of it.
As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as Novokuznetsk City Under Oblast Jurisdiction—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.
Charter 88 was a British pressure group that advocated constitutional and electoral reform and owes its origins to the lack of a written constitution.
It also has a faint echo of the far more popular mid-19th century Chartist Movement of England that resulted in an unsuccessful campaign for a People's Charter and also Magna Carta or 'Great Charter' of 1215.
Its initial activity resulted in the creation of a Charter which the public was invited to sign and to support with financial contributions.
Anthony Barnett was the first Director and Andrew Puddephatt, former General Secretary of Liberty, became the director of Charter 88 in 1995.
Charter 77 originally appeared as a manifesto published in a West German newspaper that was signed by Czechoslovak citizens representing various occupations, political viewpoints, and religions.
The manifesto was reprinted and circulated as a document inviting other signatures and by the mid-1980s it had been signed by 1,200 people.
Other famous signatories included Martin Amis, Melvyn Bragg, Tim Clement-Jones, Judi Dench, Terry Eagleton, Antonia Fraser, Clement Freud, Stuart Hall, and Christopher Hitchens.
Signatory Lord Scarman chaired the launch in the House of Commons of Charter 88's strategy document 'We can Make it Happen in the Next Ten years', and remained a behind the scenes influence.
Along with this, the organisation's financial situation and a period of resignations and redundancies, created a crisis situation in late 2003.
It worked to get the Armed Forces (Parliamentary Approval for Participation in Armed Conflict) Bill passed through Parliament in cooperation with Clare Short.
Members of Charter 88 and the New Politics Network were balloted in March 2007 on a proposed merger of the two organisations.
Although named after the village of Soestdijk, which is largely in the municipality of Soest, the Soestdijk Palace is just north of the border in the municipality of Baarn in the province of Utrecht.
It was the home for over six decades of Queen Juliana and her husband, Prince Bernhard until their deaths in 2004.
Then the palace originally started as a hunting lodge that was built between 1674 and 1678 by Maurits Post, who was also involved in building two other royal palaces, Huis ten Bosch Palace and Noordeinde Palace.
During the French invasion in 1795, the palace was seized as a spoil of war and turned into an inn for French troops.
It was presented to William II of the Netherlands in 1815 in recognition of his services at the Battle of Waterloo.
From 1816 to 1821, the palace was significantly expanded by adding two wings, the northern or Baarn wing, and the southern or Soest wing.
In 1842 its contents were enriched by the addition of the neoclassical furnishings of his former palace in Brussels, today the Palais des Académies.
Soestdijk became the property of the State of the Netherlands in 1971, though it was used by Princess Juliana (Queen of the Netherlands from 1948–1980) and Prince Bernhard as their official residence until both of their deaths in 2004.
In 2017 the palace was sold to Made in Holland who plan on developing a hotel, event center and 65 houses on the grounds.
Joseph Henry Nuxhall (; July 30, 1928 – November 15, 2007) was an American left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball, primarily for the Cincinnati Reds.
Immediately after retiring as a player, he became a radio broadcaster for the Reds from 1967 through 2004, and continued part-time up until his death in 2007.
Nuxhall held the team's record for career games pitched (484) from 1965 to 1975, and still holds the team mark for left-handers.
In addition to his 40 years of broadcasting Reds games, Nuxhall is most remembered for having been the youngest player ever to appear in a major league game, pitching of an inning for the Reds on June 10, 1944 at the age of .
Called upon for that one game due to player shortages during World War II, Nuxhall eventually found his way back to the Reds in 1952, and the National League All-Star team in 1955 and 1956.
Meanwhile, Nuxhall was the biggest member of the ninth grade class in nearby Hamilton, Ohio at and —a left-hander with a hard fastball, but not much control.
But they were informed that the elder Nuxhall was not interested in signing a professional contract because of his five children.
After waiting until the following year's basketball season was over, Nuxhall signed a major league contract with the Reds on February 18, 1944.
General manager Warren Giles intended to wait until school was over in June to add him to the team, but more of his players were inducted into the service in the spring.
On June 10, the Reds were playing the first-place (and world-champion-to-be) St. Louis Cardinals at Crosley Field and trailing 13–0 in the ninth inning when Manager Bill McKechnie called on Nuxhall for mopup relief.
But he was unable to get out of the inning, yielding five walks, two hits, one wild pitch and five runs.
But unlike Jake Eisenhart, who made his debut for the Reds the same day by getting the last out of the frame, Nuxhall returned to pitch in the majors.
The 1887 player was actually named Frank Chapman, and he was 25 years old at the time of his only major league appearance.
There have also been sources listing a Billy Geer, who played for the 1874 New York Mutuals of the National Association, as being born in 1859; but this is questionable as well, as is whether the National Association was a major league.
Joe Reliford, a 12-year-old batboy for the Class D Fitzgerald Pioneers, became the youngest person ever to play in a professional baseball game in 1952, when he was called on to pinch-hit.
Following his appearance with the Reds, he was assigned to the Birmingham Barons in the Southern League, but pitched only a third of an inning there (he struck out his first batter, then allowed a hit, five walks, a hit batter and five runs).
Nuxhall attended spring training with the Reds in 1945, but decided to remain home until he finished high school the following year.
He regained his amateur status and played football, basketball and baseball for Hamilton High School as a senior in 1946, earning all-state honors in football and basketball.
Over the next five years, he played in the minor leagues with Syracuse, Lima, Muncie, Columbia, Charleston and Tulsa before returning to the Reds in 1952.
He pitched the final three innings of a 1–19 shellacking by the Brooklyn Dodgers on May 21, 1952, allowing one hit and no runs.
Four days later, he took over for Herm Wehmeier in the fourth inning against the St. Louis Cardinals, but he allowed two runs on six hits in five innings of work and was credited with the 7–6 loss, his first in the majors.
In nine innings of work, he allowed four runs on nine hits, striking out two and walking three, but the Reds lost 4–2.
A month later, he received his first win when he pitched three innings in relief of Harry Perkowski as the Reds rallied in the ninth to win 5–4 over the New York Giants.
Ultimately, Nuxhall played in 37 games, going 1–4 with a 3.22 ERA in 92 innings, having one save while striking out 52 with 42 walks.
In the fielding, he had 24 assists with three putouts and one errors and four double plays for a .964 fielding percentage.
In batting, he had 49 at-bats in 30 games, batting .327 (a career high), having 16 hits and three home runs with eight RBIs, four walks and 13 strikeouts.
He ranked 9th in strikeouts per 9 innings at 4.590, the first of five times he ranked in the top ten over nine seasons.
Nuxhall blossomed in 1955, going 17–12 with a 3.47 ERA on 257 innings with five shutouts (a career and league high) while striking out 98 and walking 78.
Nuxhall ranked in the top ten in numerous categories in the National League that season, such as ERA (7th), wins (3rd), walks & hits per inning (1.237, 7th), innings pitched (2nd), walks (5th), and hits (4th with 240).
The following year, he went 13–11 with a 3.72 ERA in 200 innings and 44 games, having three saves while throwing 10 complete games.
Nuxhall ranked in the top ten of a few categories in the NL, such as strikeouts (10th), strikeouts per nine innings (5.382, 4th), and walks (4th).
He had 11 putouts, 20 assists, four errors (a league high), and one double play turned for a .886 fielding percentage.
For 1960, he did not have the success of the past few years, going 1–8 with a 4.42 ERA in 38 games and 112 innings.
On January 25, 1961, he was traded by the Reds to the Kansas City Athletics for John Briggs and John Tsitouris.
In his one season with Kansas City, he went 5–8 with a 5.34 ERA in 37 games and 128 innings with one save, striking out 81 while walking 65.
He had his second highest batting average at .292 in 65 at-bats, hitting 19 times while having two home runs and 13 RBIs, striking out 18 times while walking six times.
He signed as a free agent with the Baltimore Orioles for the 1962 season, but on April 9, 1962 (one day before the season started), he was purchased by the Los Angeles Angels.
In five games with the team, he had a 10.13 ERA while having no wins or losses, pitching 5 innings while allowing seven hits, six runs, five walks, and two strikeouts.
He went 5–0 with the Reds in twelve games for a 2.45 ERA with one save in 66 innings, striking out 57 while walking 25.
Nuxhall improved for the 1963 season, going 15–8 with a career low 2.61 ERA in 35 games and 217 innings (the second most inning work in his career).
He won his 100th career game on June 29, beating the San Francisco Giants 7–3, pitching nine innings while allowing seven hits, two walks and 11 strikeouts.
Nuxhall regressed slightly the following year, going 9–8 with a 4.07 ERA in 32 games and 154 innings, striking out 111 while walking 51.
For 1965, he went 11–4 with a 3.45 ERA in 32 games and 148 innings, striking out 117 while walking 31 batters.
On July 30, he pitched in his 441th game for the Reds, passing the team record of 440 games pitched by Eppa Rixey.
In a nine inning effort, he allowed eight hits with one runs, eight strikeouts and no walks in a 5–1 win.
The 1966 season (his 16th season along with his 15th for the Reds) proved to be his last in the majors.
He pitched in relief of Sammy Ellis in the top of the eighth inning with two outs and the Braves having taken the lead one batter earlier.
Nuxhall was a better than average hitting pitcher in his major league career, posting a .198 batting average (152-for-766) with 76 runs, 15 home runs and 78 RBI.
Under the guidance of Hamilton sports broadcaster Ray Motley, he immediately joined the Reds broadcast team despite his lack of broadcasting experience.
A likeness of Nuxhall (see photo) is one of five statues that decorate the main entrance of the stadium (The others are Ernie Lombardi, Ted Kluszewski, Frank Robinson, and Pete Rose).
He was elected to the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame in 1968, and officially retired from the Reds on October 3, 2004, 60 years after his pitching debut, though he still made guest appearances on some game broadcasts.
On June 6, 2007, the Reds honored Nuxhall, Marty Brennaman, and Waite Hoyt with replica microphones that hang on the wall near the radio booth.
In December 2007, Nuxhall was named as one of the ten finalists for the National Baseball Hall of Fame's Ford C. Frick Award, an honor bestowed annually on broadcasters who make major contributions to the game of baseball.
Despite this show of support, it was announced on February 19, 2008 that the Frick election committee had voted in favor of the voice of the Seattle Mariners, Dave Niehaus.
A portion of the proceeds from the book benefits the Joe Nuxhall Character Education Fund, which was established in 2003 to underwrite character development programs and projects for children.
In the days following Nuxhall's death, several radio stations in the Cincinnati area devoted shows to him, and fans left cards, flowers and banners at the statue of Nuxhall at Great American Ball Park.
At his visitation held at Fairfield High School, an estimated 6,000 people showed up to pay their respects to Nuxhall and the Nuxhall family.
Aaron Harang, who usually wore the number 39 jersey, was allowed by MLB to wear the number 41 jersey with Nuxhall's name for the entire game.
Hazret Medzhidovich Sovmen ( ; ; born 1 May 1937) was the second president of the Republic of Adygea, Russia, having succeeded Aslan Dzharimov at the post.
Before becoming President, Hazret Sovmen had been a successful businessman (with links to Russian entrepreneurs in Siberia), having started off as a bulldozer driver in a gold mine in Chukotka.
He started working at a gold mine in Chukotka in 1961 and also worked on mines in the Krasnoyarsk Krai and Magadan Oblast.
He was faced with the challenges of leading one of a Russia's poorest republics, officially declared bankrupt by the Government of Russia.
The Cannonball River () is a tributary of the Missouri River, approximately 135 mi (217 km) long, in southwestern North Dakota in the United States.
It is joined by Cedar Creek approximately 15 mi (24 km) southwest of Shields and flows northeast, past Shields, forming the northern border of Sioux County and the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.
There are over a thousand islands in Croatia, the exact number varying by definitions, and they cover a total area of about .
The number and classification of islands in Croatia varies over time and by different measurements, causing some domestic controversy when discrepancies are found.
Rocks are defined as islets smaller than 0.1 km², islets are between 0.1 and 1.0 km² and islands proper are bigger than 1.0 km².
According to measurements obtained in early 2000s the largest islands in the Adriatic Sea are Cres with an area of 405.70 km, and Krk with an area of 405.22 km (In earlier literature, including atlases, Krk was usually cited as the largest island).
The island with the longest coastline of is Pag, being the fifth according to area value and the island with the shortest coastline length of is Vele Orjule.
The following table lists the 78 Croatian islands having an area of 1 km or more, sorted by their surface area from largest to smallest.
The Croatian Bureau of Statistics uses data from the Geographical Department of the Faculty of Science of the University of Zagreb, which classifies a total of 1,185 islands, rocks and reefs: 48 inhabited islands, 670 uninhabited islands (), 389 rocks (') and 78 reefs (').
Located in The Hague in the province of South Holland, it has been used as the official workplace of King Willem-Alexander since 2013.
The palace originated as a medieval farmhouse, which was converted into a spacious residence by the steward of the States of Holland, Willem van de Goudt in 1533.
After that it was leased, and in 1595, purchased by the States of Holland for Louise de Coligny, the widow of William of Orange, and her son Prince Frederik Hendrik.
The architects Pieter Post and Jacob van Campen, who built Huis ten Bosch Palace in 1645, were among those involved in the alterations.
The alterations included lengthening the main building and adding wings on either side, thus creating the characteristic H-form that is seen today.
After the death of the Stadholder-King William III in 1702, it passed to King Frederick I of Prussia, a grandson of Frederik Hendrik’s.
In 1740 Voltaire stayed in one of the apartments while he negotiated with Dutch publisher Jan van Duren about the Anti-Machiavel.
The son of Stadholder William V, who would become King Willem I, took up residence at the Oude Hof in 1792.
But when the French invaded the Netherlands in 1795, during the French Revolutionary Wars, he and his family were forced to flee to England.
Initially there were plans to build a new winter residence, but in the end it was decided to make extensive alterations to the Oude Hof.
Like his grandfather, King Willem III used Noordeinde as his winter home, though he preferred to live at his summer residence, Het Loo Palace in Apeldoorn.
Their daughter, Princess Wilhelmina, was born there in 1880, and Queen Emma and her daughter spent their winters at Noordeinde after the King’s death in 1890.
In 1901, Queen Emma moved to Lange Voorhout Palace, today's Escher Museum, while Queen Wilhelmina and her husband Prince Hendrik remained at Noordeinde.
She preferred Soestdijk Palace as her official residence, though some members of the Royal Household continued to use offices in Noordeinde.
Following a thorough restoration in 1984, the Palace became the Dutch Monarch’s workplace and office for all political and stately affairs.
William Allen (August 5, 1704 – September 6, 1780) was a wealthy merchant, attorney and Chief Justice of the Province of Pennsylvania, and mayor of Philadelphia during the colonial period.
A Loyalist, Allen agreed that the colonies should seek to redress their grievances with British Parliament through constitutional means, and he disapproved of the movement toward independence.
He built a manor and country estate, known as Mount Airy, in 1750 outside Philadelphia; the neighborhood became known by his estate's name and is now part of the city.
Born in Philadelphia in 1704, Allen was the son of William Allen, Sr., a successful Philadelphia merchant of Scots-Irish descent, who had immigrated to America from Dungannon, County Tyrone, Ireland, with his brother, John, and father.
In 1720, he was admitted to the Middle Temple in London to study law, and at the same time became a pensioner at Clare College, Cambridge.
In the spring of 1729, Allen was named alongside lawyer Andrew Hamilton (his future father-in-law) as a trustee for the purchase and building fund to develop the state house in Philadelphia, then the capital of the province.
By October 1730, the next year, Allen and Hamilton began to purchase lots on Chestnut Street at their own expense, the property on which the Pennsylvania State House (later known as Independence Hall), was to be built.
By the will of his father-in-law Andrew Hamilton, dated July 31–August 1, 1741, Allen inherited all the land of the Yard for the state house and its surrounding public grounds.
He developed as one of the century's most important painters and, from 1792 until his death in 1820, served as the president of Britain's Royal Academy.
He stayed there throughout most of the American Revolution, not returning to Philadelphia until 1779, after the British Army had evacuated.
On February 16, 1734, Allen married Margaret Hamilton, daughter of Andrew Hamilton, famed defense lawyer in the 1735 Zenger case, and sister of James Hamilton.
Anne Allen married John Penn, a proprietor of the province with a one-fourth interest, who served as the last colonial governor of Pennsylvania.
She lived with him for a time in exile in New Jersey during the British occupation of Philadelphia, but they returned to the city in 1788 and lived the remainder of their lives near there.
Allen hoped that Northampton Town would displace Easton as the seat of Northampton County and also become a commercial center, due to its location along the Lehigh River and its proximity to Philadelphia.
Three years later, in 1770, James built a summer residence, Trout Hall, in the new town, near the site of his father's former hunting lodge.
On March 6, 1812, Lehigh County was formed from the western half of Northampton County, and Northampton Town was selected as the county seat.
Vitals is a 2002 techno-thriller novel by American writer Greg Bear, nominated for a John W. Campbell Memorial Award in 2002.
On an exotic ocean floor lifeform retrieval mission in a small deep sea vessel, his pilot goes berserk, starts spouting gibberish, and tries to kill him.
The story develops from there, taking in his twin brother's widow, Lissa; Rudy Banning, a once respected professor and writer turned into an anti-semitic conspiracy theorist by a brain-altering microbe; and a scheming group of immortals who want to stay unique.
They are able to do this because they have access to bacteriological research by Russian scientist Maxim Golokhov from the 1940s who was working for Beria and Stalin.
A recent study by the Institute of Oceanography in Split (2000) shows that there are 1246 islands: 79 large islands, 525 islets, and 642 ridges and rocks.
Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Trifylia, of which it is the seat and a municipal unit.
Ancient writers took note of Cyparissia's beautiful situation upon the sides of one of the offshoots of the range of mountains, which run along this part of the Messenian coast.
Upon the narrow summit of the rocks later occupied by a castle built in the Middle Ages, stood the ancient acropolis.
There is no harbour upon the Messenian coast north of Pylos; but Leake remarks that the roadstead at Cyparissia seems to be the best on this part of the coast; and in ancient times the town probably possessed an artificial harbour, since traces of a mole may still be seen upon the sea-shore.
This was probably constructed on the restoration of Messene by Epaminondas; for it was necessary to provide the capital of the new state with a port, and no spot was so suitable for this object as Cyparissia.
Hence we find Messene and the harbour Cyparissia mentioned together by Scylax Pausanias found in the town a temple of Apollo, and one of Athena Cyparissia.
Stephanus calls Cyparissia a city of Triphylia, and Strabo also distinguishes between the Triphylian and Messenian Cyparissia, but on what authority we do not know.
At a relatively late stage Cyparissia was a bishopric that today, no longer being residential, is listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.
In the Middle Ages it was called Arkadía, a name which was transferred from the interior of the peninsula to this place upon the coast.
Under the Principality of Achaea, Kyparissia/Arkadia was the seat of the Barony of Arcadia, which was the last Frankish territory (except for the Venetian possessions) to fall to the Despotate of the Morea, in 1432.
In 1460 Kyparissia came under Ottoman control, and remained so, with the exception of thirty years of Venetian rule, until the Greek War of Independence which began in 1821.
Kyparissia continued to bear the name Arkadia till its destruction by Ibrahim Pasha in 1825, during the Greek War of Independence and when rebuilt it resumed its ancient name Cyparissia, by which it is now called.
Some remains of ancient walls may be traced around the modern castle; and below the castle on the slope of the hill, near the church of Saint George, are some fragments of columns.
On the south side of the town, close to the sea-shore, a fine stream rushes out of the rock and flows into the sea; and a little above is a basin with a spring of water, near which are some stones belonging to an ancient structure.
This is the ancient fountain sacred to Dionysus, which Pausanias perceived near the entrance of the city, on the road from Pylus.
Denis Charles Scott Compton (23 May 1918 – 23 April 1997) was an English cricketer who played in 78 Test matches and spent his whole cricket career with Middlesex.
Compton was born and brought up in what was then the urban district of Hendon, which later became part of Greater London.
He was the second son and youngest child of Henry Ernest Compton and Jessie Anne Duthie; he had one older brother, Leslie Harry (born 1912) and one older sister, Hilda (born 1913).
He was educated at Bell Lane Primary School and joined the MCC ground staff at Lord's Cricket Ground at the age of 15.
The previous summer he had begun to make a name for himself when, at that same venue, he scored 114 as captain of an Elementary Schools XI, impressing Test selector Sir Pelham Warner.
By the late 1930s, Compton was one of England's finest batsmen, and remained at the top of his profession for some twenty years.
This broke the record, set by J.W.Hearne in 1911, for the youngest Test century by an England batsman, and remains the record to this day.
Later in the same series he scored a match-saving 76 not out at Lord's; this innings was scored on a rain-affected pitch and greatly impressed Don Bradman.
As with many other sportsmen of his generation he lost some of his best years to the Second World War, during which he served in the army in India.
It was in India that he began his close friendship with his Australian counterpart as Test cricketer, footballer and national hero, Keith Miller.
In recognition of their friendship and rivalry, the ECB and Cricket Australia decided in 2005 that the player adjudged the Player of the Series in the Ashes would be awarded the Compton-Miller medal.
England toured Australia in the 1946-47 Ashes series and though they were beaten by the powerful Australian team, Compton distinguished himself by scoring a century in each innings of the Adelaide Test.
Back in England, Compton produced a season of cricket that established him as a British household name, and one of the greatest cricketers of his era.
Against the touring South Africans, Compton scored five centuries, one for Middlesex and four for England, accumulating 1,056 runs at an average of 88.
His aggregate in all matches that season was 3,816 runs, which remains the most ever made in a season in first-class matches.
Chasing 397 to win, and needing to score at nearly 100 runs per hour, Compton led the way with a dashing 168, but Middlesex fell short by 75 runs.
In the First Test at Trent Bridge he scored 184 in the second innings after Australia had established a first innings lead of 344, and it looked as though he might save the match for England until he lost his balance to a short-pitched ball from Miller and hit his wicket.
In the Third Test at Old Trafford, Compton scored an unbeaten 145 in the first innings, when no other batsman made more than 37.
He had scored only four runs when, while facing a bumper barrage from Ray Lindwall, he edged the ball onto his forehead.
Compton was forced off the ground with a cut head, given two stitches, and ordered to rest despite wanting to return to the crease.
This was the only match that England did not lose, and if so much time had not been lost to the weather they might have won it.
On the MCC tour of South Africa 1948–49 he scored 300 against North-Eastern Transvaal in just a minute over three hours – still the fastest triple-century ever in first-class cricket.
Reminiscing about the match later, Compton compared the South Africans' bowling with a decent county side, but criticised their catching (he had been dropped before he reached 20).
He toured Australia for 1950-51 Ashes series as vice-captain, the first professional in the 20th century to be awarded the position, but had a dismal tour because of a recurring knee problem caused by an old football injury.
He became the first professional to captain the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) for an entire game, Jack Hobbs having taken over from the injured Arthur Carr in 1924–25.
He and Len Hutton made the winning runs in the Fifth Test at Melbourne, the first time Australia had been beaten since 1938.
On the 1954–55 tour his departure was delayed for a remedial operation on his knee and he joined the team in Australia by aeroplane.
In the First Test at Brisbane he badly cut his hand when he hit a billboard while fielding and batted at the bottom of the order.
In his last Test against Australia in 1956 he made a dazzling 94 despite having just had his right kneecap removed.
In home test series against Pakistan he set the record for scoring the most runs in between lunch and tea in a Test match (173).
However, the latter part of his sporting career was dogged by knee trouble when his right knee was damaged in a collision with the goalkeeper of club Charlton Athletic.
Undaunted, he sauntered into the museum and, borrowing an antique bat off the display, went on to score 158 and 71.
Typically, at his brother Leslie's benefit match in 1955, he managed to run him out before he had faced a single ball.
He claims that the chief guest was called to the telephone by a lady who had heard about the dinner: eventually, he agreed to take the call.
Compton's death, on Saint George's Day, coincided with the opening of the 1997 County Championship season, and pavilion flags across the country were lowered to half-mast in his memory.
This is where his grandson, Nick Compton, set the Middlesex record for the 6th wicket partnership in List A cricket (142* BL Hutton & NRD Compton v Lancashire at Shenley 2002).
With his contemporary the footballer Stanley Matthews, Compton was the first British sportsman to make a substantial living by exploiting his sporting reputation to provide advertisements and endorsements.
With his second wife, Valerie Platt, Compton had two sons, Patrick and Richard, both of whom would go on to play cricket for Natal.
His grandson Nick, son of Richard, made his Test debut against India at Ahmedabad during the England cricket team's 2012–13 tour of India.
Founded in 1928 in Anqing, named 'National Anhui University' in 1946 and moved to Hefei in 1958, Anhui University is now supported by the government under Project 211.
Anhui University has provided higher education in fundamental knowledge, professional skills, social responsibility and innovative concepts for over 170,000 students in the past 80 years.
The main campus covers an area of about 55 hectares, two branch campuses 30 hectares and the new campus about 200 hectares.
The University consists of 18 schools, 44 departments, 65 undergraduate specialities, 119 master's degree programs, 16 PH.D. programs, and 1 Post-doctor's scientific research flow work station, 4 professional master's degree programs, and 2 state-level disciplines, 12 provincial-level disciplines.
The university library has a collection of more than 1.75 million books and over 7000 Chinese and foreign periodicals, and it is equipped with a campus computer network.

It was designated by Overseas Chinese Affairs Office under the State Council as the Teaching Base for Chinese Language and Culture in 2000.
Established during the late 19th century, near Paisley, it is best known as the town where Flora Call and Elias Disney, the parents of Walt Disney, and Roy O. Disney lived for a short time after they were married in nearby Kismet on New Year's Day, 1888.
The location, which is just northeast of Lake Akron, is about forty miles (65 km) due north of what is now Walt Disney World.
A member of R. B. Bennett's cabinet, he split with the Conservative Prime Minister to found the Reconstruction Party of Canada.
The family moved to Vernon, British Columbia, in 1894 and Stevens found his first job there, as a grocery clerk, at the age of 16.
He then went to northern British Columbia to work in the mining camps before working as a fireman on the Canadian Pacific Railway and later as a stagecoach driver.
In 1899 he joined the United States Army, and travelled to the Philippines and then to China, where he was present during the Boxer Rebellion, before returning to British Columbia in 1901.
Up to the time he entered politics, he was a lay preacher in his local Methodist Church and he occasionally took services in remote logging camps and schoolhouses outside Vancouver.
Vancouver was rife with opium dens, saloons and illegal gambling halls, and Stevens visited these places each night, and then published the names of the establishments and what he had witnessed there in the press the next day.
His campaign forced the resignation of the chief of police and won Stevens a seat on Vancouver City Council in 1910.
He served in the short-lived Cabinets of Prime Minister Arthur Meighen in 1921 as Minister of Trade and Commerce, until the government was defeated by William Lyon Mackenzie King's Liberals.
In 1926 Stevens led an investigation into the King government's handling of customs, which uncovered evidence of corruption that forced the resignation of King's minority government.
This was followed by Governor General Byng's controversial decision to ask the Conservatives under Meighen to form a government rather than call an election.
He was actively involved in the Komagata Maru incident, working with the head immigration officer, Malcolm R. J. Reid, to stop the ship's Indian passengers from coming to shore.
It was Reid's intransigence, supported by Stevens, that led to mistreatment of the passengers on the ship and to prolonging its departure date, which was not resolved until after the intervention of the federal Minister of Agriculture, Martin Burrell, MP for Yale—Cariboo.
Bennett led the Tories to victory in the general election of 1930 he made Stevens his Minister of Trade and Commerce.
In 1934 Stevens chaired the Royal Commission on Price Spreads and Mass Buying, through which he exposed abuses by big business, attacked corporate interests, accusing them of price fixing, and called for radical reform.
Bennett agreed to set up a parliamentary committee in February 1934 to examine price fixing and corporate manipulation of the market.
Three cabinet ministers urged Stevens to challenge Bennett for the leadership of the party within the Conservative caucus and a total of 72 of the 137 Conservative MPs pledged to support Stevens, but he declined to challenge Bennett for the party leadership without a leadership convention.
In the federal elections of 1935 the party won nearly 400,000 votes and shattered the Tories, reducing them to a rump of only 30 seats, but Stevens was the only Reconstructionist candidate to win a seat.
He subsequently crossed the floor to rejoin the Conservative Party in 1938 and was rumoured to be considering standing for party leader at the 1938 Conservative leadership convention but did not run.
Stevens ran as a candidate in the 1942 Conservative leadership convention, but was eliminated on the first ballot, losing to John Bracken.
He did not run in the general election of 1945, but ran again in Vancouver Centre in 1949 and again in 1953, losing both times.
A widespread resident in the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia, it is divided into several subspecies, some being treated as full species.
They are large, crow-like with a long tail and coppery brown wings and found in wide range of habitats from jungle to cultivation and urban gardens.
They are weak fliers, and are often seen clambering about in vegetation or walking on the ground as they forage for insects, eggs and nestlings of other birds.
The nominate race is found from the Indus Valley through the sub-Himalayan and Gangetic plains to Nepal, Assam and the Bhutan foothills into southern China (Guangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian).
The young when hatched have black skin and white hairy feathers (termed as trichoptiles) forming a fringe over the eye and beak.
The greater coucal is a large bird which takes a wide range of insects, caterpillars and small vertebrates such as the Saw-scaled vipers.
In Oil palm cultivation, they have been noted as an avian pest due to their habit of eating the fleshy mesocarps of the ripe fruits.
The territory of a nesting pair has been found in southern India to be 0.9 to 7.2 ha (mean 3.8 ha).
The breeding season is after the monsoon in southern India but varies in other parts of its range but chiefly June to September.
Greater coucals are monogamous, and the courtship display involves chases on the ground and the male brings food gifts for the female.
The eggs (of size 36–28 mm weighing 14.8 g ) are chalky white with a yellow glaze when laid that wears off.
United Nations Security Council Resolution 678, adopted on 29 November 1990, after reaffirming resolutions 660, 661, 662, 664, 665, 666, 667, 669, 670, 674 and 677 (all 1990), the Council noted that despite all the United Nations efforts, Iraq continued to defy the Security Council.
The United Nations Security Council, invoking Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, offered Iraq one final chance to implement Resolution 660 (1990) which demanded that Iraq withdraw its forces unconditionally from Kuwait to the positions in which they were located on 1 August 1990, the day before the invasion of Kuwait began.
Resolution 678 was adopted by 12 votes with two opposing (Cuba and Yemen) and one abstention from the People's Republic of China.
The authority granted to Member States in this case contrasts with the disputed legality of U.S. actions in the invasion of Iraq of 2003.
China, which had usually vetoed such resolutions authorizing action against a state, abstained in exchange for a promise from the US government that sanctions would be eased, and that the Chinese foreign minister would be received in the White House.
Various members of the Council were rewarded with economic incentives as a result of their 'yes' vote, and those who initially opposed the resolution were discouraged from voting 'no' with the idea of economic penalties, particularly by the United States.
The US successfully obtained a commitment from the Saudi government to provide $1 billion to the Soviets in aid through the winter.
After Yemen voted against the resolution, the US, World Bank and International Monetary Fund halted aid programs to Yemen, and Saudi Arabia expelled Yemeni workers.
It did this by failing to vest in the UN the responsibility and the accountability for the military force that was deployed to the region but instead allowing the United States to manage world policy essentially in a unilateral manner.
William Allen (August 13, 1827 – July 6, 1881) was a United States Representative from Ohio during the early part of the American Civil War.
Allen was elected as a Democrat to the Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh Congresses (March 4, 1859 – March 3, 1863), where he served as chairman, Committee on Expenditures in the Department of the Interior (Thirty-seventh Congress).
He became affiliated with the Republican Party at the close of the Civil War and was appointed judge of the Court of Common Pleas of the second judicial district in 1865.
It was built around 1575, and is the only mosque in the city out of the 273 that had existed during the time of the Ottoman Empire's rule of Serbia.
During the occupation of Serbia by the Austrians (between 1717 and 1739), it was converted into a Roman Catholic church; but after the Ottomans retook Belgrade, it was returned to its original function.
It was damaged after being set on fire on 18 March 2004, during that year's unrest in Kosovo, in violent protest to the burning of Serbian churches in Kosovo, but it was later repaired.
Out of former more than 200 mosques and many small Islamic places of worship the so called mesdzid, the Bajrakli Mosque in 11, Gospodar Jevremova Street is the only remaining and active example of Islamic religious architecture in Belgrade.
Once it dominated in the atmosphere of mostly ground floor houses in the busy commercial and craft town district of Belgrade, the so-called Zerek.
Descriptions of Belgrade of the 17th century were preserved by Ottoman travel writer Evliya Celebi in which he vividly described the appearance of the town in the period of Turkish rule, with various buildings of Islamic architecture.
In the second half of the 19th century the Bajrakli Mosque was described by historians and travel writers Konstantin Jireček, Giuseppe Barbanti Brodano,as well as by archaeologist and ethnologist Felix Kanitz.
It is assumed that today's Bajrakli Mosque was built on the place of an older mesdzid, probably in the second half of the 17th century, as the endowment of the Turkish ruler Sultan Suleiman II (1687—1691).
It was originally named after former renewers, Čohadži-Hajji Alija's and later Hussein Ćehaja's mosque, while the current name was given in the late 18th or in the early 19th century.
In it, as in the main mosque, there was the muvekit, the man who calculated the exact time of AH according to the Islamic calendar (which began in 622, i.e.
in the year of Hijra, the year during which the emigration of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina) occurred to determine sacred days, regulated clock mechanism and put the flag on the minaret, to signal the simultaneous beginning of the prayer to other Islamic places of worship in the town of Belgrade.
Between 1717 and 1739, during the Austrian rule, it served as a cathedral Catholic church, but its original function was renewed in 1741 when the Ottomans returned to Belgrade.
The mosque was renewed in the 19th century by the rulers of the Obrenovic dynasty, Prince Mihailo and King Aleksandar Obrenović.
In 1868, The Minister of Education and Church Affairs was ordered by Prince Mihailo Obrenovic to choose one of the existing mosques and enable it for the performance of Muslim religious rites, when besides the mosque was repaired even the courtyard building next to it.
The restoration was performed several times and after the Second World War by the National Committee of the City of Belgrade and by the Cultural Heritage Preservation and Scientific Research Institute and, from the mid sixties of the 20th century even by the Cultural Heritage Preservation Institute of Belgrade.
After the recent damage in 2004 conservation works on rehabilitation and restoration of stone facades with the restoration of window openings were carried out.
With massive walls and small openings, it was built of stone, and some segments were carried out in brick and stone.
The building has the square plan, while the octagonal dome is supported by oriental domed arches and niches -trompes, with modest decoration of consoles.
The number of windows on the facades is uneven, while the one is located on each side of the tambour of the dome.
Minaret - a thin tower with conical roof, with a circular terrace at the top, from which the faithful are called to prayer by the muezzin - is located on the northwest exterior side.
Opposite the entrance, in the interior of the mosque, there is the most sacred space - the mihrab, a shallow niche with elaborate vault decoration, set in the direction of the holy city of Mecca to the southeast, while the raised wooden pulpit (minber or mimbar) is set to the right of the mihrab, in the south-west corner.
Above the entrance, there is a wooden gallery (mahfil) from which one can come to the serefa, terrace on the minaret.

Upon the death of Pandion, Pallas and his brothers (Aegeas, Nisos, and Lykos) took control of Athens from Metion, who had seized the throne from Pandion.
Later, after the death of Aegeas, Pallas tried to take the throne from the rightful heir, his nephew, Theseus, but failed and was killed by him, and so were his fifty children, the Pallantides.
In a version endorsed by Servius, Pallas was not a brother, but a son of Aegeus, and thus a brother of Theseus, by whom he was expelled from Attica.
It is endemic to Sri Lanka's wet zone and listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, as the small population declined due to forest destruction and fragmentation.
Its head and body is purple-black, the wings are maroon above and black below, and the long tail is dark green.
Despite its size and distinctive call, this is a difficult species to see because of the dense habitat in which it lives and its retiring nature.
While single-contact trills are similar to taps and flaps, a tap or flap differs from a trill in that it is made by a muscular contraction rather than airstream.
An alleged retroflex trill found in Toda has been transcribed (that is, the same as the retroflex flap), but might be less ambiguously written , as only the onset is retroflex, with the actual trill being alveolar.
The glottis quite readily vibrates, but this occurs as the phonation of vowels and consonants, not as a consonant of its own.
The upper pharyngeal tract cannot reliably produce a trill, but the epiglottis does, and epiglottal trills are pharyngeal in the broad sense.
between velar and uvular) fricative trill has been reported to occur as coda allophone of in Limburgish dialects of Maastricht and Weert.
In the fricative trill the tongue is raised, so that there is audible frication during the trill, sounding a little like a simultaneous and (or and when devoiced).
The Chapakuran language Wariʼ and the Muran language Pirahã have a very unusual trilled phoneme, a voiceless bilabially post-trilled dental stop, .
A nasal trill has been described from some dialects of Romanian, and is posited as an intermediate historical step in rhotacism.
In the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland the Nutri-Grain Bar name is used for the soft breakfast bars.
There were four varieties initially (rye, corn, barley, and wheat); later these were reduced to corn and wheat, and finally the corn line was completely discontinued.
There are various Nutri-Grain Bars made from the breakfast cereal bonded together, available in the markets where the cereal is available.
The Concordia University System (CUS) is an organization of eight colleges and universities in the United States that are operated by the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS).
The educational institutions of the Lutheran Church–Canada are not part of the CUS even though that church body was originally part of the LCMS and remains associated with it.
Those institutions are Concordia University College of Alberta and Concordia Lutheran Seminary, both in Edmonton, and Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary in St. Catharines (which is affiliated with Brock University).
Other Concordias that are affiliated with neither the CUS nor the LCMS include Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, and Concordia University in Montreal.
Congressional Debate (also known as Student Congress, Legislative Debate) is a form of interscholastic high school debate in the United States.
The National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA), National Catholic Forensic League (NCFL) and many state associations and national invitational tournaments offer Congressional Debate as an event.
Each organization and tournament offers its own rules, although the National Forensic League has championed standardization since 2007, when it began to ask its districts to use one of a number of procedures for qualification to its National Tournament.
In Congressional Debate, high school students emulate members of the United States Congress by debating pieces of legislation, including bills and resolutions.
Each team attempts to research as many topics as possible, with the goal of being able to speak on both sides of every legislation.
The bills and resolutions must be national in scope, and must either fall within jurisdiction for lawmaking by the United States Congress as a bill, or express a specific position and/or recommendation for further action outside of Congress' jurisdiction as a resolution.
Contestants from each school should research and prepare arguments both in favor and against each legislation in the docket before arriving at the tournament.
Rounds usually begin with a method for determining which bills will be debated and in which order, referred to as the docket.
This most commonly happens with a nominated docket at the tournament, although some areas have a system of informal caucusing or highly organized committees, which convene to review legislation that has been subdivided by the tournament to address a specific topic area, such as is done in the National Catholic Forensic League and Illinois Congressional Debate Association.
If nobody from the author's school is present, another debater gives a sponsorship speech (sometimes called the first affirmative), which is functionally identical to an authorship.
After these initial speeches, debate alternates in favor and opposition to the legislation with three-minute speeches and one minute of questioning.
Within each speech, contestants should develop two or three organized, logical arguments supported by credible evidence for why the chamber should vote for or against the given legislation.
Questions, and their respective answers, are to be short and to the point, as delays will unfairly cut into other speakers' questioning time.
The debate rules also provides for direct questioning, if the standing rules of the organization allow for it, where the speaker and questioner can engage in direct dialogue without moderation from the chair.
This is done in 30- or 60-second blocks of time, allowing the questioner to engage the floor speaker to greater depth.
This is used to sometimes build arguments that the questioner uses in a later speech, similar to cross-examination in other competitive debate events.
At tournaments where this is practiced, the presiding officer is either required or strongly advised to keep a separate questioning priority, to ensure equal opportunity for questioners.
Several tournaments have piloted this method since the National Speech and Debate Association suggested this as a result of discussions with its Congressional Debate Rules and Recommendations Committee in 2009.
Some leagues and tournaments still use a protocol where the balanced of unused speaking time is reserved for questioning, rather than having a specific period.
While some student questioners feel the need to ask if the speaker yields, this is unnecessary under procedure, because the standing rules of the organizations and tournaments provide specific parameters for questioning periods that already establish when questioning begins.
the Standing Rules of the United States Senate or the Procedures of the United States House of Representatives) as the underpinning for how sessions are conducted, there may be slight variations in how the competition itself is run.
The presiding officer's job is to facilitate fair, balanced, and efficient debate during the session in which they have been elected, primarily through recognition of speakers and questioners (see section below).
At the end of many tournaments students in the chamber vote on which presiding officer was the best, and some tournaments have a separate means for judge recognition of presiding officers.
The presiding officer always calls for an author or sponsor for the first legislation in order, and the author always gets first right of refusal.
Often, coaches will instruct students who preside to call on contestants for early speeches that they do not know, and/or who are less experienced.
Additionally, since debate becomes more complex after more arguments have been introduced, later speakers bear a higher burden for clash and refutation.
In some areas, before precedence and recency are established, priority cards are distributed or numbers are designated to each student, giving the presiding officer a clear and objective directive as to whom to recognize.
This has been criticized by longtime National Forensic League Congress Coordinator Harold Keller for entirely removing the dynamism of the activity from students' hands.
The National Forensic League's Table of Parliamentary Motions is in use by almost every organization that conducts Congressional Debate competition, including the National Catholic Forensic League.
The motions are similar, if not usually identical to those used in Congress with a few exceptions, including the one-thirds second required to amend a motion or legislation, to prevent abuse of that protocol.
If the chamber wishes to change to another legislation while another is still being considered, the chamber must end debate (which could include pausing debate by laying on the table) before changing to the desired item.
Some tournaments establish a minimum time before the previous question can be moved; others limit how long each legislation may be debated.
After the previous question has been moved, the presiding officer calls for a vote on the legislation, and after counting votes, announces whether the ayes or noes have it, and the motion carries or is defeated.
Amendments are an important tool that can add nuance and perspective to debate on a particular issue, even though they are not practiced as often as they once were.
To amend, a student will submit the amendment in writing to the head table (often rising to a point of personal privilege and seeking permission to approach the rostrum).
The presiding officer (often in consultation with the parliamentarian) will first determine if the amendment is germane; or if it changes the original intent of the legislation, it is ruled dilatory.
The author of the amendment then moves to amend, and if the presiding officer rules it germane, they read it aloud to the chamber and calls for a one-thirds second (usually by voice vote).
If one-third of the chamber concurs to consider the amendment, the presiding officer then calls for a speech in support of the amendment.
At most tournaments, the speech introducing or sponsoring the amendment is not guaranteed to its author, and in fact, it is common practice in some areas for a contestant to immediately move the previous question on the amendment.
The presiding officer always is taken into consideration for recognition in the chamber by judges (usually through ranking at the end of the session), and some tournaments have both the scorers and parliamentarian evaluate the presiding officer, while others just have one or the other do so.
The parliamentarian's role is a fairly passive one; their main purpose is to serve as a reference on parliamentary procedure in case there is confusion or a dispute the presiding officer cannot resolve.
Unless either the presiding officer makes (or fails to correct) a major error in procedure or else the debate gets bogged down the parliamentarian will generally not intervene in the proceedings unless asked by someone in the chamber.
The student parliamentarian is considered a member of the body and continues to participate, and because of the appointed nature of the office, it is not counted as a speech.
The parliamentarian serves at the chair's pleasure, and there are often occasions the chair will not appoint a parliamentarian, rather, handling duties her/himself.
It operates like a forensic speech event with sectioning of multiple entries per section and comparative ranking and rating by points (as opposed to pairing just two entries and wins/losses).
Since 2000, the event has been growing nationwide, added by several states as State Tournament event, and added to numerous large invitational tournaments.
The first major tournament outside of NFL and NCFL nationals to hold Congressional Debate was the Harvard University Tournament traditionally held near President's Day weekend in February.
Other major tournaments which host congress competitions include The Barkley Forum for High Schools at Emory University, The University of Florida Blue Key, Yale, Princeton, the Villiger tournament in Philadelphia, the Glenbrooks tournament in Chicago, the Crestian Classic in Florida, Pennsbury, Princeton, George Mason, the Minneapple Debate Tournament in Minnesota, Stanford, the California Invitational at UC Berkeley, and the Sunvitational in Florida.
In addition, Congress is now one of the official events at the debate Tournament of Champions, hosted by the University of Kentucky.
Students who achieve a high level of competitive success at other national tournaments qualify to compete at the TOC, which brings together some of the best congresspersons from across the nation.
Wahoos, often shortened to 'Hoos, is an unofficial nickname for sports teams of the University of Virginia (officially the Cavaliers), and more generally, a nickname for University students and alumni.
In recent years, the Hoos nickname has become a nickname used by students and recent alumni of the University, and it is also commonly used in the media in reference to U.Va.
Dartmouth students, meanwhile, largely stopped using the Indian yell during the 1980s along with the accompanying Indian mascots, symbols, and nickname.
The yell was already in use by the time Nathalie Floyd Otey performed at the Levy Opera House in Charlottesville on January 30, 1893.
It is a medium-sized member of its genus and is found in lightly-wooded country and savannah in central and southern Africa.
Its crown, nape and upper parts, bill, legs and long tail are black, the eyes are red, the wings are chestnut, and the underparts are creamy white, with blackish barring on the flanks.
The sexes are similar, but juveniles are browner and more heavily barred above, with buff to cinnamon, barred and streaked underparts.
The range extends from Senegal in the west to Ethiopia and Kenya in the east, and Angola and Congo to the south.
It nests off the ground in low vegetation, and the typical clutch is two to four eggs laid in a large nest built from stalks and leaves.
The Quillen–Suslin theorem, also known as Serre's problem or Serre's conjecture, is a theorem in commutative algebra concerning the relationship between free modules and projective modules over polynomial rings.
Geometrically, finitely generated projective modules over the ring formula_1 correspond to vector bundles over affine space formula_2, where free modules correspond to trivial vector bundles.
This correspondence (from modules to (algebraic) vector bundles) is given by the 'globalisation' or 'twiddlification' functor, sending formula_3 (cite Hartshorne II.5, page 110).
A simple argument using the exponential exact sequence and the d-bar Poincaré lemma shows that it also admits no non-trivial holomorphic vector bundles.
Serre made some progress towards a solution in 1957 when he proved that every finitely generated projective module over a polynomial ring over a field was stably free, meaning that after forming its direct sum with a finitely generated free module, it became free.
Note that although formula_7-bundles on affine space are all trivial, this is not true for G-bundles where G is a general reductive algebraic group.
The city is located nearly within the same distance to the three nearest seas: the Baltic, the Adriatic and the Black Sea (650-690 km) making it the most inland city in this part of Europe.
It is the administrative center of Zakarpattia Oblast (region), as well as the administrative center of the surrounding Uzhhorod Raion (district) within the oblast.
The city itself is also designated as city of oblast significance, a status equivalent to that of a raion, and does not belong to Uzhhorod Raion.
One of their tribes – White Croats – settled the area of the modern Uzhhorod in the second half of the first millennium AD.
During the 9th century a fortified castle changed into a fortified early feudal town-settlement, which became the center of a new Slavic principality, at the head of which was a mythical prince Laborec, who was vassal of Great Moravia.
Great Moravia, according to historians and experts did not extend as far east as Uzhgorod, in fact, it was west of what is now the City of Bratislava, Slovakia.
The forces were not equal and Laborec was defeated and beheaded on the banks of the river that still carries his name.
There was not much of a settlement when the Magyar tribes arrived, having left Kiev (then known as Kevevara) and encountering no resistance.
In 1646 the Ungvar Union was proclaimed and the Greek-Catholic church was established in Subcarpathia, in a ceremony held in the Ungvar castle by the Vatican Aegis.
In 1707 Ungvar was the residence of Ferenc II Rákóczi, leader of the national liberation war of Hungarians against Vienna.The beginning of the 19th century was characterized by economic changes, including the first factories in the city.
The greatest influence on Ungvar among the political events of the 19th century was made by the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-1849, during which the native Hungarian nobility sought both get free of the Austrian Empire and to have authority over their own people.
In 1872 the first railway line opened, linking the city to the important railway junction of Chop then known as Csap.
According to the 1910 census, the city had 16,919 inhabitants, of which 13,590 (80.3%) were Magyars, 1,219 (7.2%) Slovaks, 1,151 (6.8%) Germans, 641 (3.8%) Rusyns and 1.6% Czechs.
Since Jews were not counted as ethnicity (as defined by language), rather only religious group, this Austrian-Hungarian census does not specifically mention the Jewish population, which was significant, and consisted of about 31% in 1910.
In the same time, the municipal area of the city had a population composed of 10,541 (39.05%) Hungarians, 9,908 (36.71%) Slovaks, and 5,520 (20.45%) Rusyns.
On 29 June 1945, Subcarpathian Ukraine was annexed by the Soviet Union and became a westernmost part of the Ukrainian SSR.
In 2002, after some controversy, a bust of Tomáš Masaryk, Czechoslovakia's first president, was unveiled in a main square of the city.
A similar bust was unveiled in 1928 on the 10th anniversary of Czechoslovak independence, but was removed by the Hungarians when they took over the region in 1939.
The coldest month is January with an average temperature of while the warmest month is July with an average temperature of .
Uzhhorod is served by Uzhhorod railway station and has railway connection with Chop (further to Hungary and Slovakia) and Lviv (further to Kiev).
Its former owner was Unedisa which merged with Grupo Recoletos in 2007 to form Unidad Editorial, current owner of the paper.
The daily has a national edition and ten different regional editions, including those for Andalusia, Valencia, Castile and León, the Balearic Islands and Bilbao.
Naberezhnye Chelny was granted town status on August 10, 1930, and was called Brezhnev (after Leonid Brezhnev) from 1982 to 1988.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Naberezhnye Chelny serves as the administrative center of Tukayevsky District, even though it is not a part of it.
As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as the city of republic significance of Naberezhnye Chelny—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.
Kamaz and ZMA trucks are produced there, and the city is one of the largest planned centers in the world related to vehicle production.
First, this station Round the field with 28 station ways for receiving and departure of trains, freight yard for loading and unloading cars, sorting slide for the formation and dissolution of the trains.
Second, its cargo-passenger station Naberezhnye Chelny accommodates loading and unloading of wagons supplied by access roads to distribution centers and processing plants.
The station Naberezhnye Chelny long-distance trains follow a direct line to Moscow, Kazan, Ulyanovsk, Izhevsk, Bugul'ma, and in the summer to Adler.
Public transport represents 13 tram routes, more than 30 bus routes and taxi, the taxi (including the so-called Social taxi carrying several passengers fares in taxis).
Naberezhnochelninsky tram is one of the latest new tram systems in the USSR and Russia, which is similar to the light rail.
It was created to provide a large passenger flows between the residential areas of the city and a vast industrial complex KAMAZ and other large enterprises.
One of the very few in post-Soviet Russia, a tram system of the city has increased in the 1990s and 2000s, and has plans for further development, including both new construction sites in the city, and creating inter-city light rail line to the Yelabuga, a project which was developed in the Soviet period.
At an elevation of 3,506 ft (1,069 m), it is a prominent butte in Slope County, in the Badlands of the southwestern part of the state.
The summit is located within the boundaries of the Little Missouri National Grassland and is about south of Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
At the parking area, one mile due north of the trailhead, the family maintains a small mailbox-like receptacle for donations to help maintain the area, and requests a $5 contribution from visitors.
The Roman baths, which were used for public bathing, were used until the end of Roman rule in Britain in the 5th Century CE.
It is a major tourist attraction in the UK, and together with the Grand Pump Room, receives more than 1.3 million visitors annually.
It percolates down through limestone aquifers to a depth of between where geothermal energy raises the water temperature to between .
This process is similar to an enhanced geothermal system, which also makes use of the high pressures and temperatures below the earth's crust.
Hot water at a temperature of rises here at the rate of every day, from a geological fault (the Pennyquick fault).
In 1982 a new spa water bore-hole was sunk, providing a clean and safe supply of spa water for drinking in the Pump Room.
This duty has now passed to Bath and North East Somerset Council, who carry out monitoring of pressure, temperature and flow rates.
In October 1978, a young girl swimming in the restored Roman Bath with the Bath Dolphins, a local swimming club, contracted meningitis and died, leading to the closure of the bath for several years.
The newly constructed Thermae Bath Spa nearby, and the refurbished Cross Bath, allow modern-day bathers to experience the waters via a series of more recently drilled boreholes.
Archaeological evidence indicates that the site of the baths may have been a centre of worship used by Celts; the springs were dedicated to the goddess Sulis, whom the Romans identified with Minerva.
Early in the 18th century Geoffrey's obscure legend was given great prominence as a royal endorsement of the waters' qualities, with the embellishment that the spring had cured Bladud and his herd of pigs of leprosy through wallowing in the warm mud.
During the Roman occupation of Britain, and possibly on the instructions of Emperor Claudius, engineers drove oak piles to provide a stable foundation into the mud and surrounded the spring with an irregular stone chamber lined with lead.
In the 2nd century it was enclosed within a wooden barrel-vaulted building, and included the caldarium (hot bath), tepidarium (lukewarm bath), and frigidarium (cold bath).
After the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the first decade of the 5th century, these fell into disrepair and were eventually lost due to silting up, and flooding.
The baths have been modified on several occasions, including the 12th century, when John of Tours built a curative bath over the King's Spring reservoir, and the 16th century, when the city corporation built a new bath (Queen's Bath) to the south of the spring.
The spring is now housed in 18th-century buildings, designed by architects John Wood, the Elder and John Wood, the Younger, father and son.
Visitors drank the waters in the Grand Pump Room, a neo-classical salon which remains in use, both for taking the waters and for social functions.
In 1810 the hot springs failed and William Smith opened up the Hot Bath Spring to the bottom, where he found that the spring had not failed but had flowed into a new channel.
The museum houses artefacts from the Roman period including objects that were thrown into the Sacred Spring, presumably as offerings to the goddess.
The Bath Roman Temple stood on a podium more than two metres above the surrounding courtyard, approached by a flight of steps.
The pediment, parts of which are displayed in the museum, is the triangular ornamental section, wide and from the apex to the bottom, above the pillars on the front of the building.
The great head itself has snakes entwined within its beard, wings above its ears, beetling brows and a heavy moustache although there is some controversy about what this really represents, as Gorgons are usually female.
An alternative interpretation sees the central head as the image of a water god such as Oceanus, and yet another as a Celtic sun god.
In 2016 planning permission was received for a new learning centre aimed at schoolchildren and linked to the baths by a tunnel.
Funding is being sought from the Heritage Lottery Fund and, if successful, it is hoped the centre will open in 2019.
The late 19th century carvings of Roman Emperors and Governors of Roman Britain on the terrace overlooking the Great Bath are particularly susceptible to the effect of acid rain and are protected with a wash of a sacrificial shelter coat every few years.
Exhibits within the temple precincts are susceptible to warm air which had the effect of drawing corrosive salts out of the Roman stonework.
In 2009 a grant of £90,000 was made to Bath and North East Somerset Council to contribute towards the cost of re-developing displays and improving access to the Roman Baths, by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport/Wolfson Fund, which was established to promote improvements in Museums and Galleries in England.
In phonetics, alveolo-palatal (or alveopalatal) consonants, sometimes synonymous with pre-palatal consonants, are intermediate in articulation between the coronal and dorsal consonants, or which have simultaneous alveolar and palatal articulation.
Ladefoged and Maddieson characterize the alveolo-palatals as palatalized postalveolars (palato-alveolars), articulated with the blade of the tongue behind the alveolar ridge and the body of the tongue raised toward the palate, whereas Esling describes them as advanced palatals (pre-palatals), the furthest front of the dorsal consonants, articulated with the body of the tongue approaching the alveolar ridge.
These descriptions are essentially equivalent, since the contact includes both the blade and body (but not the tip) of the tongue (see schematic at right).
The alveolo-palatal sibilants are often used in varieties of Chinese such as Mandarin, Hakka, and Wu, as well as other East Asian languages such as Japanese and Korean, Tibeto-Burman such as Tibetan and Burmese as well as Tai languages such as Thai, Lao, Shan and Zhuang.
Alveolo-palatal sibilants are also a feature of many Slavic languages, such as Polish, Russian, and Serbo-Croatian, and of Northwest Caucasian languages, such as Abkhaz and Ubykh.
Symbols for alveolo-palatal stops (), nasals () and liquids () are sometimes used in sinological circles (a circumflex accent is also sometimes seen), but they are not recognized by the IPA.
They may be simple palatal or palatalized consonants, classified as alveolo-palatals because they pattern with the alveolo-palatal sibilants of the language rather than because they are alveolo-palatal in articulation.
An alternative transcription for the voiced alveolo-palatal stop and nasal is , but it is used only when cannot be displayed properly.
Whetstone Butte (elevation 3150 feet (955 m)) is a mountain in the Badlands in Adams County in southwestern North Dakota in the United States.
The alveolar ridge (; also known as the alveolar margin) is one of the two jaw ridges, extensions of the mandible or maxilla, either on the roof of the mouth between the upper teeth and the hard palate or on the bottom of the mouth behind the lower teeth.
Consonants whose constriction is made with the tongue tip or blade touching or reaching for the alveolar ridge are called alveolar consonants.
There are exceptions to this however, such as speakers of the New York accent who pronounce [t] and [d] at the back of their top teeth (dental stops).
When pronouncing these sounds the tongue touches ([t], [d], [n]), or nearly touches ([s], [z]) the upper alveolar ridge, which can also be referred to as gum ridge.
Hans Wollschläger (17 March 1935, Minden – 19 May 2007, Bamberg) was a German writer, translator, historian, and editor of German literature.
He also translated the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe (together with Arno Schmidt), and novels by Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett.
He wrote several books of fiction and non-fiction, including a history of the Crusades which has a polemical aspect (at the close of the book he suggests the Catholic Church be declared a criminal organisation) but also contains excerpts from several Arabic sources never previously translated into German.
However, under the influence of Erwin Ratz, Wollschläger came to the conclusion that an unfinished masterwork should not be touched, and publicly withdrew his edition in 1962.
Its council is based in the town of Harrogate, but it also includes surrounding towns and villages and almost all of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
On 1 April 1996 the parishes of Nether Poppleton, Upper Poppleton, Hessay and Rufforth were transferred from the district to become part of the new York unitary authority.
Elections to the borough council are held in three out of every four years, with one third of the 54 seats on the council being elected at each election.
Following the 2016 United Kingdom local elections and subsequent by-elections, the political composition of Harrogate is as follows: The last composition of the former 54 seat council.
John Donald Imus Jr. (July 23, 1940 – December 27, 2019), better known as Don Imus or simply Imus was an American radio personality, television show host, recording artist, and author.
Imus was fired from WNBC in 1977, then rehired, in 1979, remaining at the station until it left the air in 1988, at which time his show moved to WFAN, which took over WNBC's former frequency of 660 kHz.
In January 2018, Cumulus Media, in the middle of a bankruptcy process, told Imus they were going to stop paying him, and as a result, Imus ended his show.
In 1957, while living in Prescott, Arizona, Imus dropped out of high school and joined the United States Marine Corps at Base Camp Pendleton where he was stationed in the artillery division before transferring to the Drum and Bugle Corps.
He left the Marines with an honorable discharge, and secured work as a window dresser in San Bernardino, before he was fired for performing strip teases on the mannequins for passersby.
Imus then moved to Hollywood with his brother in an attempt to find success as musicians and songwriters, but they struggled to get radio DJs to play their songs on the air.
After dropping out of the University of the Pacific, Imus worked as a brakeman on the Southern Pacific Railroad and in a uranium mine in Arizona.
Upon winning a talent contest at Johnny Otis's night club, he worked as a singer-songwriter, with Otis serving as his manager.
After hearing a morning radio DJ at KUTY, in Palmdale, California, Imus went to the station and successfully persuaded the owner to hire him.
While at KUTY, Imus debuted his on-air character Billy Sol Hargis, a radio evangelist inspired by and named for preacher Billy James Hargis and businessman Billie Sol Estes.
Imus moved to KXOA, in Sacramento, California, which became known for his prank call to a local McDonald's restaurant as a National Guard official ordering 1,200 burgers for troops.
The segment influenced a later FCC ruling that required all radio DJs to identify themselves when they make phone calls on the air.
On December 2, 1971, less than three years into his radio career, Imus started his morning show at WNBC in New York City, with a $100,000 per year salary.
He continued to drink, and his on- and off-air behavior became erratic; he turned up for work without shoes and slept on park benches with large amounts of money in his pocket.
In April 1981, Imus renewed his contract with WNBC with a five-year deal worth $500,000 a year with bonuses if he surpassed ratings targets.
Following the addition of Howard Stern in afternoons in 1982, Imus and Stern began a longtime feud though both were paired on WNBC print and television advertisements.
By October 1981, Imus was the most popular radio DJ in the US, reaching 220,000 regular listeners and number one in 12 of 13 demographic categories.
On October 7, 1988, after WNBC was sold to Emmis Broadcasting, the station permanently signed off the air to have WFAN, an all-sports station, move to the station's signal.
All of the station's staff was let go except Imus and his radio show team, who stayed to become WFAN's morning show.
Later in 1989, Imus accepted an invitation to become an honorary assistant coach for a basketball game between the Fordham Rams and La Salle Explorers the following January.
The show began syndication in June 1993 when it was simulcast on WEEI in Boston, followed by four other stations around the country.
Imus was instrumental in raising over $60 million for the Center for the Intrepid, a Texas rehabilitation facility for soldiers wounded in the Iraq War.
The largest technological center of its kind in the country, it is designed to treat disabled veterans and help them with their transition back into the community.
Imus has also taken on the cause of the living conditions at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, visiting wounded veterans at the hospital to boost morale.
In 2018, Cumulus Media informed Imus that they were going to stop paying him because of the bankruptcy proceeding that they were undergoing.
Howard Stern discussed how he had heard Imus make racist comments which were directed at a black female co-worker while the two were working at WNBC.
Stern's co-host Robin Quivers confirmed that assertion and added that she had once been the target of Imus' racist remarks herself.
Young Black women all through that society are demeaned and disparaged and disrespected by their own Black men, and they are called that name in Black hip hop.
The Rutgers basketball team held a news conference at which coach C. Vivian Stringer stated that the team would meet with Imus to discuss his comments.
General Motors (Imus's biggest advertiser), Staples Inc., GlaxoSmithKline, Sprint Nextel, PetMeds, American Express, and Procter & Gamble either pulled their ads outright or suspended advertising on Imus's show to protest his remarks.
Just hours after the announcement of his firing, Imus met with Stringer and her team at Drumthwacket, the New Jersey governor's mansion.
Imus hired prominent attorney Martin Garbus by May 2, 2007, to pursue a wrongful termination lawsuit against CBS for the remaining $40 million on his five-year contract.
Rutgers basketball player Kia Vaughn filed a suit that same day against Imus, NBC Universal, CBS Corporation, MSNBC, CBS Radio, Viacom, Westwood One Radio, and Bernard McGuirk, citing slander, libel, and defamation of character.
Imus reached a settlement with CBS Radio over his contract on August 14, leaving him free to pursue other media opportunities.
Charles McCord and Bernard McGuirk joined him in the new version of the show, and he returned to the airwaves on ABC Radio and RFD-TV on December 3.
On April 28, 2015, Imus announced that his radio show would no longer be broadcast on the Fox Business Network starting May 29, 2015.
WABC vice president Phil Boyce said that it was unlikely that disciplinary action would be pursued against Imus, and none was.
In the weeks before Congress recessed on September 29, 2006, Barton used his chairmanship to prevent the legislative proposal from coming to a vote in the House, rousing the ire of Imus and his wife, staunch supporters of autism research.
The bill already had been passed unanimously by the Senate, but Barton opposed the Senate bill's stipulation that centers of excellence investigate environmental factors.
Nichole Mallette sued Imus on November 29, 2004 for wrongful termination and defamation after a Thanksgiving 2003 incident in which she was allegedly fired from her position as nanny and escorted off his property at 4:15 am.
One of the doctors who worked at the Imus Ranch, Dr. Howard Allen Pearson, sued Imus for slander and civil assault on July 8, 2005.
Dr. Pearson accused Imus of threatening him during a July 13, 2004 confrontation at the ranch, after a disagreement over how to care for one of the children at the ranch.
Pearson was a world-famous pediatric cancer specialist who was the former chairman of the pediatrics department of the Yale Medical School as well as a co-founder (with Paul Newman) of another facility for ill children, the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp.
Longtime sports commentator Warner Wolf was fired in 2016, after ten years on the show, and Wolf subsequently sued Imus and various other parties in New York for age discrimination.
Wolf was in his late 70s at the time.The suit was dismissed in 2019 on a technicality: when he was fired, Wolf was a Florida resident who had been doing his segments from a home studio.
The Manhattan Supreme Court ruled that the State of New York had no jurisdiction over this matter, and an appellate court agreed.
Don Imus was also a part owner of Autobody Express stores with his late brother, Fred (who was a frequent caller to the radio show, commenting on NASCAR races, the NFL and related pop culture matters).
The Autobody Express became Imus Ranch Foods, which offered its signature chips and salsa via online sales and in Northeastern stores, prior to the discontinuation of the Imus Ranch Foods line in 2014.
Imus won four Marconi Awards, three for Major Market Personality of the Year (1990, 1992 and 1997) and one for Network Syndicated Personality (1994).
He moved there full-time in 2015, after ending his Fox Business television simulcast in New York and from there started broadcasting his show solely on radio with the cast members broadcasting from the WABC radio studios.
He raised millions for the rehabilitation of wounded veterans of the Iraq war and for children with cancer and siblings of victims of sudden infant death syndrome, who had spent summers since 1999 on his ranch near Ribera, New Mexico.
In 1999, Imus and Deirdre founded the Imus Ranch, a working cattle ranch near Ribera, New Mexico, southeast of Santa Fe, for children with cancer.
The ranch was used as a tax deduction by Imus, and eventually, due to the personal use of the ranch by the Imus family, saw its property tax exemption reduced to 55%.
The ranch failed to sell after repeated efforts to do so, leading Imus to put the property up for auction in May 2017.
On July 17, 1987, after a nine-day vodka binge, he attended rehabilitation at a Hanley-Hazelden treatment center in West Palm Beach, Florida, for six weeks and remained sober.
In 2000, Imus suffered serious injuries after a fall from a horse at his ranch and broadcast several shows from a hospital.
In localised Celtic polytheism practised in Great Britain, Sulis was a deity worshipped at the thermal spring of Bath (now in Somerset).
She was worshipped by the Romano-British as Sulis Minerva, whose votive objects and inscribed lead tablets suggest that she was conceived of both as a nourishing, life-giving mother goddess, and as an effective agent of curses wished by her votaries.
They remained to the end associated with a specific place, often a cleft in the earth, a spring, pool or well.
The Greeks referred to the similarly local pre-Hellenic deities in the local epithets that they assigned, associated with the cult of their Olympian pantheon at certain places (Zeus Molossos only at Dodona, for example).
About 130 curse tablets, mostly addressed to Sulis, have been found in the sacred spring at the Roman baths in Bath.
Typically, the text on the tablets offered to Sulis relates to theft; for example, of small amounts of money or clothing from the bath-house.
In formulaic, often legalistic, language the tablets appeal to the deity, Sulis, to punish the known or unknown perpetrators of the crime until reparation be made.
Sulis is typically requested to impair the physical and mental well-being of the perpetrator, by the denial of sleep, by causing normal bodily functions to cease or even by death.
These afflictions are to cease only when the property is returned to the owner or disposed of as the owner wishes, often by its being dedicated to the deity.
The tablets were often written in code, by means of letters or words being written backwards; word order may be reversed and lines may be written in alternating directions, from left to right and then right to left (boustrophedon).
While most texts from Roman Britain are in Latin, two scripts found here, written on pewter sheets, are in an unknown language which may be Brythonic.
The identification of multiple Celtic gods with the same Roman god is not unusual (both Mars and Mercury were paired with a multiplicity of Celtic names).
On the other hand, Celtic goddesses tended to resist syncretism; Sulis Minerva is one of the few attested pairings of a Celtic goddess with her Roman counterpart.
Based on her name's etymology, as well as several other characteristics, such as the association with sight, civic law, and epithets relating to light, Sulis has been interpreted as a solar deity, at least in pre-Roman times.
The Ottoman Empire developed over the centuries a complex organization of government with the Sultan as the supreme ruler of a centralized government that had an effective control of its provinces, officials and inhabitants.
Over the years the Empire became an amalgamation of pre-existing polities, the Anatolian beyliks, brought under the sway of the ruling House of Osman.
The Ottoman family was originally Turkish in its ethnicity, as were its subjects; however the kingship quickly acquired many different ethnicities through intermarriage with slaves and European nobility.
There were only two attempts in the whole of Ottoman history to unseat the ruling Osmanlı dynasty, both failures, which is suggestive of a political system which for an extended period was able to manage its revolutions without unnecessary instability.
Fifty years later, in 1974, the Grand National Assembly of Turkey granted descendants of the former dynasty the right to acquire Turkish citizenship.
It was ruled by the Valide Sultan (Sultana mother), mother of the reigning sultan, who held supreme power over the Harem and thus a powerful position in the court.
On occasion, the Valide Sultan would become involved in state politics and through her influence could diminish the power and position of the sultan.
The financial burden of the Medrese was supported by vakifs, allowing children of poor families to move to higher social levels and income.
The second track, the Enderun School, was a boarding school for converted Christians, which conscripted 3,000 students annually from Christian boys between 8 and 20 years old from about one in forty families among the communities settled in Rumelia and/or the Balkans; a process known as Devşirme.
The system functioned strictly for government purposes, and (ideally) the graduates were permanently devoted to government service and had no interest in forming relations with lower social groups.
The apprenticeship began in the Sultan's services; progressing to mastering natural and Islamic sciences (formal education); and finally to developing physical fitnesses, and vocational or artistic skills.
Sometimes the sultan called a Divan meeting himself if he had something important to inform his viziers of, such as imminent war.
The Divan consisted of three viziers in the 14th century and eleven in the 17th century; four of them served as Viziers of the Dome, the most important ministers next to the Grand Vizier.
The civil system was considered a check on the military system since beys (who represented executive authority) could not carry out punishment without the sentence of a qadi.
A vassal state that never became a province was the Khanate of Crimea in the region around Crimea, north of Black Sea - it would fall to Russia instead (1774–83; later in modern Ukraine).
The latter happened in North Africa: the Beys/Deys of Tunis and Algiers established themselves as 'regencies' and even Egypt went its own way under its great khedive Mohammed Ali - they would in turn be subjected to European colonial dominance, as protectorates, of France and Britain.
Angola, Burundi, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Rwanda, and São Tomé and Príncipe are members of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS).
Six of those states (Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon) are also members of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) and share a common currency, the Central African CFA franc.
The African Development Bank defines Central Africa as Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon.
The Central African Federation (1953–1963), also called the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, was made up of what are now the nations of Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
Similarly, the Anglican Church of the Province of Central Africa covers dioceses in Botswana, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe, while the Church of Central Africa, Presbyterian has synods in Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The basin of Lake Chad has historically been ecologically significant to the populations of Central Africa, especially with the Lake Chad Basin Commission serving as an important supra-regional organization in Central Africa.
According to Zangato and Holl, there is evidence of iron-smelting in the Central African Republic and Cameroon that may date back to 3000 to 2500 BCE.
Extensive walled settlements have recently been found in Northeast Nigeria, approximately southwest of Lake Chad dating to the first millennium BCE.
Trade and improved agricultural techniques supported more sophisticated societies, leading to the early civilizations of Sao, Kanem, Bornu, Shilluk, Baguirmi, and Wadai.
The Sao lived by the Chari River south of Lake Chad in territory that later became part of Cameroon and Chad.
Today, several ethnic groups of northern Cameroon and southern Chad but particularly the Sara people claim descent from the civilization of the Sao.
Finds include bronze sculptures and terra cotta statues of human and animal figures, coins, funerary urns, household utensils, jewelry, highly decorated pottery, and spears.
It was known as the Kanem Empire from the 9th century CE onward and lasted as the independent kingdom of Bornu until 1900.
At its height it encompassed an area covering not only much of Chad, but also parts of modern southern Libya, eastern Niger, northeastern Nigeria, northern Cameroon, parts of South Sudan and the Central African Republic.
The Kanem empire went into decline, shrank, and in the 14th century was defeated by Bilala invaders from the Lake Fitri region.
The Kanuri people led by the Sayfuwa migrated to the west and south of the lake, where they established the Bornu Empire.
By the late 16th century the Bornu empire had expanded and recaptured the parts of Kanem that had been conquered by the Bulala.
The Shilluk Kingdom was centered in South Sudan from the 15th century from along a strip of land along the western bank of White Nile, from Lake No to about 12° north latitude.
During the nineteenth century, the Shilluk Kingdom faced decline following military assaults from the Ottoman Empire and later British and Sudanese colonization in Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.
The Kingdom of Baguirmi existed as an independent state during the 16th and 17th centuries southeast of Lake Chad in what is now the country of Chad.
At first Wadai paid tribute to Bornu and Durfur, but by the 18th century Wadai was fully independent and had become an aggressor against its neighbors.
During the 17th century, a Lunda chief and warrior called Mwata Kazembe set up an Eastern Lunda kingdom in the valley of the Luapula River.
The kingdom of Lunda came to an end in the 19th century when it was invaded by the Chokwe, who were armed with guns.
Later, maize (corn) and cassava (manioc) would be introduced to the region via trade with the Portuguese at their ports at Luanda and Benguela.
The maize and cassava would result in population growth in the region and other parts of Africa, replacing millet as a main staple.
Manikongo António I (1661–1665), with a Kongolese army of 5,000, was destroyed by an army of Afro-Portuguese at the Battle of Mbwila.
The Portuguese in the latter part of the 16th century tried to gain control of Ndongo but were defeated by the Mbundu.
The leaders established another state at Matamba, affiliated with Queen Nzinga, who put up a strong resistance to the Portuguese until coming to terms with them.
During the Conference of Berlin in 1884-85 Africa was divided up between the European colonial powers, defining boundaries that are largely intact with today's post-colonial states.On 5 August 1890 the British and French concluded an agreement to clarify the boundary between French West Africa and what would become Nigeria.
A boundary was agreed along a line from Say on the Niger to Barruwa on Lake Chad, but leaving the Sokoto Caliphate in the British sphere.
Over the next twenty years a large part of the Chad Basin was incorporated by treaty or by force into French West Africa.
The remainder of the basin was divided by the British in Nigeria who took Kano in 1903, and the Germans in Cameroon.
In the 21st century, many jihadist and Islamist groups began to operate in the Central African region, including the Seleka and the Ansaru.
At least 40% of the rural population of northern and eastern Central Africa lives in poverty and routinely face chronic food shortages.
Flood recession agriculture is practiced around Lake Chad and in the riverine wetlands.Nomadic herders migrate with their animals into the grasslands of the northern part of the basin for a few weeks during each short rainy season, where they intensively graze the highly nutritious grasses.
When the dry season starts they move back south, either to grazing lands around the lakes and floodplains, or to the savannas further to the south.
In the 2000-01 period, fisheries in the Lake Chad basin provided food and income to more than 10 million people, with a harvest of about 70,000 tons.
Fisheries have traditionally been managed by a system where each village has recognized rights over a defined part of the river, wetland or lake, and fishers from elsewhere must seek permission and pay a fee to use this area.
Local governments and traditional authorities are increasingly engaged in rent-seeking, collecting license fees with the help of the police or army.
Oil is also a major export of the countries of northern and eastern Central Africa, notably making up a large proportion of the GDPs of Chad and South Sudan.
Most of the Ubangian speakers in Africa (often grouped with Niger-Congo) are also found in Central Africa, such as the Gbaya, Banda and Zande, in northern Central Africa.
Due to common historical processes and widespread demographic movements between the countries of Central Africa before the Bantu Migration into much of southern Central Africa, the cultures of the region evidence many similarities and interrelationships.
Similar cultural practices stemming from common origins as largely Nilo-Saharan or Bantu peoples is also evident in Central Africa including in music, dance, art, body adornment, initiation and marriage rituals.
Whatever its origins, it has seen occasional literary use since at least the time of Shakespeare, as the first use was in 1573, according to Merriam-Webster.
In common usage, such as cheers at sporting events and competitions, the speaker need not make distinction, and the words are distinguished by regional dialect and accent.
By looking at the poetry and writings of the late 1700s you see words like say, play, and day which are used to rhyme with Huzza.
In the 18th and early 19th centuries, three 'huzzahs' were given by British infantry before a bayonet charge, as a way of building morale and intimidating the enemy.
It was completed by 1774, and connected the city with the land of the Pulteney family which they wished to develop.
Designed by Robert Adam in a Palladian style, it is exceptional in having shops built across its full span on both sides.
By the end of the 18th century it had been damaged by floods, but it was rebuilt to a similar design.
In the 20th century several schemes were carried out to preserve the bridge and partially return it to its original appearance, enhancing its appeal as a tourist attraction.
The much photographed bridge and the weir below are close to the centre of the city, which is a World Heritage Site largely because of its Georgian architecture.
One of only four bridges in the world to have shops across its full span on both sides, the structure was designed by Robert Adam; his original drawings are preserved in the Sir John Soane's Museum in London.
Frances was the third daughter of MP and government official Daniel Pulteney (1684–1731) and first cousin once removed of William Pulteney, 1st Earl of Bath.
She inherited the Earl's substantial fortune and estates close to Bath in Somerset after his death in 1764 and that of his younger brother and heir in 1767, and the Johnstones changed their surname to Pulteney.
The rural Bathwick estate, which Frances and William inherited in 1767, was across the river from the city and could only be reached by ferry.
William made plans to create a new town, which would become a suburb to the historic city of Bath, but first he needed a better river crossing.
The work of the Pulteneys is memorialised by Great Pulteney Street in Bathwick, and Henrietta Street and Laura Place, named after their daughter Henrietta Laura Johnstone.
Initial plans for the bridge were drawn up by Thomas Paty, who estimated it would cost £4,569 to build, but that did not include the shops.
A second estimate of £2,389 was obtained from local builders John Lowther and Richard Reed; it included two shops at each end of the bridge, but work did not begin before winter weather made construction of the pillars impossible.
In 1770 the brothers Robert and James Adam, who were working on designs for the new town at Bathwick, adapted Paty's original design.
Robert Adam envisaged an elegant structure lined with shops, similar to the Ponte Vecchio and the Ponte di Rialto he would likely have seen when he visited Florence and Venice.
The revised bridge was wide, rather than the width envisaged by Paty, which overcame the objections of the local council about the bridge being too narrow.
The builders for the lower part of the bridge were local masons Reed and Lowther; the shops were constructed by Singers and Lankeshere.
In 1792 alterations were made during which the bridge was widened to and the shops enlarged, converting the original sixteen shops into six larger ones.
However it was rebuilt by John Pinch senior, surveyor to the Pulteney estate, in a less ambitious version of Adam's design.
Nineteenth-century shopkeepers changed the structure and appearance of their premises by changing windows, or expanding them by adding cantilevers over the river.
The western end pavilion on the south side was demolished in 1903 for road widening and its replacement was not an exact match.
The city council bought several of the shops and made plans for the restoration of the original façade, which was completed in time for the Festival of Britain in 1951.
The status of the bridge as an ancient monument was replaced in 1955 with its designation as a Grade I listed building.
In 2009 Bath and North East Somerset council put forward a proposal to close the bridge to motor traffic and convert it to a pedestrianised zone, but the plan was abandoned in September 2011.
It however remains a large source of income for the Council, due to it being the most fined bus lane in the city.
The bridge features two ranges of shops designed in the Palladian style c. 1770, between them forming a narrow street over the bridge.
Consequently, the northern external façade of the bridge is asymmetrical, much altered and of no architectural merit, whereas the southern external side clearly shows the hand of Robert Adam.
Built of limestone, in classic Palladian style, the southern façade takes the form of a temple-like central bay with symmetrical wings connecting to two flanking, terminating pavilions.
It in turn is flanked by two small bays, each with a small pointed pediment supported by shallow pilasters, which further emphasise and complement the central broken pediment sitting above a large Palladian window – the focal point of the building.
On this southern side the structure comprises a principal floor at street level, with a low mezzanine separated by stone banding above.
Beneath the principal floor is a sub-floor constructed in the masonry between the spans of the bridge, its presence indicated by ocular windows placed symmetrically beneath the span of each arch.
A centre notable for his defensive skill and as one of the toughest fighters in the game, he played for several National Hockey League (NHL) teams during his twenty professional seasons, principally the Vancouver Canucks, with whom he became the NHL franchise's inaugural captain.
Kurtenbach played in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) with the Prince Albert Mintos for two seasons, also making brief appearances with the Saskatoon Quakers of the minor professional Western Hockey League (WHL) during that time.
In 1957, after Prince Albert was eliminated from the SJHL playoffs, Kurtenbach finished the season with the Flin Flon Bombers, where he helped the team win a Memorial Cup.
The majority of Kurtenbach's early professional career would be spent in the minors, splitting time between the AHL with the Buffalo Bisons, Springfield Indians and Providence Reds, and the WHL with the San Francisco Seals and the Canucks.
His best season in this stretch was 1962–63, when he notched 87 points for the Seals in 70 games and led the team in scoring in the playoffs en route to winning the league championship.
During his time in the minors, Kurtenbach made two brief appearances in the National Hockey League with the New York Rangers and Boston Bruins, totaling eighteen games, but would not play his first full NHL season until 1963–64 with the Bruins.
In the 1970 off-season, he was told by Rangers management he would be unprotected for the upcoming NHL Expansion Draft to be picked up by either the Buffalo Sabres or the Vancouver Canucks (the franchise left the WHL to join the NHL).
On December 12, 1970, he recorded the first hat trick in Canucks history in a 5-2 victory over the California Golden Seals, it was also the only hat trick he would ever record in his career.
He recorded at an NHL career high point-per-game pace with 53 points in 52 games, despite suffering a serious injury on December 23 that sidelined him until March 3.
Kurtenbach finished his NHL career with 119 goals and 213 assists for 332 points in 639 games, adding 628 penalty minutes.
The season after his NHL retirement, Kurtenbach joined the Seattle Totems of the Central Hockey League, moving behind the bench as head coach.
After a losing season with Seattle, he coached two seasons with the Tulsa Oilers of the same league and won a championship in his first season with them, 1975–76, being awarded the Jake Milford Trophy as CHL coach of the year.
In 1976–77, Kurtenbach returned to the NHL to replace Phil Maloney midway through the season as head coach of the Vancouver Canucks.
However, after one and a half seasons and a 36–62–27 record, Kurtenbach was replaced by Harry Neale at the end of the 1977–78 season.
With more than 60,000 inhabitants and 50,000 students, it is one of the main cities of the Métropole Européenne de Lille and the largest in area (27.46 km²) after Lille; it is also one of the main cities of the Hauts-de-France region.
Built up owing to the merger between the former communes of Ascq, Annappes and Flers-lez-Lille, Villeneuve-d'Ascq is a new town and the cradle of the first automatic metro system of the world (VAL).
Villeneuve-d'Ascq is nicknamed the 'green technopole' thanks to the implantation of many researchers — two campus of the University of Lille; many graduate engineering schools — and companies in a pleasant living environment.

In the Early Cyrillic alphabet there was little or no distinction between the letter and the letter which was derived from the Greek letter Iota (Ι ι).
Other modern orthographies for Slavic languages eliminated one of the two letters in alphabet reforms of the 19th or 20th centuries: Russian, Macedonian, Serbian and Bulgarian languages use only , and Belarusian uses only .
Later, the middle stroke was turned counterclockwise, resulting in the modern form resembling a mirrored capital Latin letter N (this is why is used in faux Cyrillic typography).
But the style of the two letters is not fully identical: in roman fonts, has heavier vertical strokes and serifs on all four corners, whereas has a heavier diagonal stroke and lacks a serif on the bottom-right corner.
In Russian, the letter has been seen combined in the digraph (as were , and ) to represent before its existence around 1783.
The letter is the eleventh letter of the Ukrainian alphabet and it represents sound , which is a separate phoneme in Ukrainian.
The Ukrainian (и) can be transliterated to other languages using Cyrillic script by both (и) and (ы), due to lack of common transliteration rule.
Speakers of other Slavic languages can perceive Ukrainian as either , or sometimes even [e] (see Ukrainian phonology for more on pronunciation of ).
Stressed variants are sometimes (in special texts, like dictionaries, or to prevent ambiguity) graphically marked by acute, grave, double grave or circumflex accent marks.
Serbian with a circumflex can be unstressed as well; then, it represents the genitive case of plural forms to distinguish them from other similar forms.
None of those combinations is considered as a separate letter of respective alphabet, but one of them () has an individual code position in Unicode.
In phonetics, a flap or tap is a type of consonantal sound, which is produced with a single contraction of the muscles so that one articulator (such as the tongue) is thrown against another.
The main difference between a tap or flap and a stop is that in a tap/flap there is no buildup of air pressure behind the place of articulation and consequently no release burst.
Trills may be realized as a single contact, like a tap or flap, but are variable, whereas a tap/flap is limited to a single contact.
When a trill is brief and made with a single contact it is sometimes erroneously described as an (allophonic) tap/flap, but a true tap or flap is an active articulation whereas a trill is a passive articulation.
That is, for a tap or flap the tongue makes an active gesture to contact the target place of articulation, whereas with a trill the contact is due to the vibration caused by the airstream rather than any active movement.
Subsequent work on the labiodental flap has clarified the issue: flaps involve retraction of the active articulator, and a forward-striking movement.
For linguists who make the distinction, the alveolar tap is transcribed as a fish-hook ar, , and the flap can be transcribed as a small capital dee, , which is not recognized by the IPA.
However, such a distinction has been claimed for Norwegian in which the alveolar apical tap and the post-alveolar/retroflex apical flap have the same place of articulation for some speakers.
However, the former could be mistaken for a short trill, and is more clearly transcribed , whereas for a nasal tap the unambiguous transcription is generally used.
Most of the alternative transcriptions in parentheses imply a tap rather than flap articulation, so for example the flap and the tapped stop are arguably distinct, as are flapped and tapped .
Many of the languages of Africa, Asia, and the Pacific that do not distinguish [r] from l may have a lateral flap.
However, it is also possible that many of these languages do not have a lateral–central contrast at all, so that even a consistently neutral articulation may be perceived as sometimes lateral or , sometimes central .
These contrast with lateral approximants at the same positions, as well as a retroflex tap , alveolar tap , and retroflex approximant .
However, the flapped, or tapped, laterals in Iwaidja are distinct from 'lateral flaps' as represented by the corresponding IPA symbols (see below).
For this reason, current IPA transcriptions of these sounds by linguists working on the language consist of an alveolar lateral followed by a superscript alveolar tap and a retroflex lateral followed by a superscript retroflex tap.
A velar lateral tap may exist as an allophone in a few languages of New Guinea, according to Peter Ladefoged and Ian Maddieson.
They include an epiglottal tap; a bilabial flap in Banda, which may be an allophone of the labiodental flap; and a velar lateral tap as an allophone in Kanite and Melpa.
Note here that, like a velar trill, a central velar flap or tap is not possible because the tongue and soft palate cannot move together easily enough to produce a sound.
If other flaps are found, the breve diacritic could be used to represent them, but would more properly be combined with the symbol for the corresponding voiced stop.
A palatal or uvular tap or flap, which unlike a velar tap is believed to be articulatorily possible, could be represented this way (by ).
Many West African languages have a nasal flap (or ) as an allophone of before a nasal vowel; Pashto, however, has a phonemic nasal retroflex lateral flap.
Septimania was the western region of the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis, which passed under the control of the Visigothic kingdom in 462, when Septimania was ceded to Theodoric II, king of the Visigoths.
In the aftermath of the Battle of Vouille (507), Maguelone managed to remain out of Frankish sway, and was part of the Visigothic kingdom.
At first the stronghold of a Visigothic noble, on high ground protected by coastal lagoons, Maguelone became the seat of a bishop.
In the 8th century (circa 725) the Umayyad forces conquered the area, but the stronghold was destroyed by Charles Martel in his 737 campaign across Septimania, almost depopulating the region.
The Gallo-Roman and Gothic nobility allied with the Andalusian military kept the position until 752, when Pepin the Short tipped the scale in favour of the Franks, who conquered Septimania.
The local count retained the traditional Carolingian right of nomination of bishops: in 1085 Pierre, count of Substantion and Melgueil, offered himself as vassal of the Holy See and relinquished the right of nomination, and Innocent III transferred the feudal rights of the county to the bishop of Maguelonne in 1215, which gave the bishops the right to issue coinage.
The bishop, as well as the King of Aragon and the Count of Toulouse, authorized the coinage of Arabic money, not intended for circulation in Maguelonne, but to be sold for exportation to the merchants of the Mediterranean.
With the expansion of trade in the revival of the High Middle Ages, Montpellier came to be the city for this region, first passing to the Crown of Aragon in 1204, then to that of France (1292 and 1349).
Andy Bathgate was a popular star player of the New York Rangers and also held the honour of being declared the Most Valuable Player of both the NHL and Western Hockey League (WHL).
He bounced between the WHL Vancouver Canucks (not to be confused with the later NHL team of the same name) and the Rangers for two seasons before settling with the Rangers in 1954–55.
He played 10 full seasons with the Rangers, where he became a popular player in New York as well as a top-tiered player in the NHL.
In 1961–62, Bathgate and Bobby Hull led the league in points, but Bathgate lost the Art Ross Trophy to Bobby Hull because Hull had more goals.
He was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 1963–64 season, where he immediately helped Toronto to a Stanley Cup championship, and later was dealt to the Detroit Red Wings, where he helped the team reach the Stanley Cup Finals in 1965–66.
Bathgate was chosen by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1967 NHL Expansion Draft, scoring the first goal in the team's history.
However after one season, he returned to the Canucks where he would help lead the team to two consecutive Lester Patrick Cup victories, in 1969 and 1970.
He came briefly out of retirement three seasons later to play for the Vancouver Blazers of the World Hockey Association (WHA), which he had coached the previous season, but retired for good after 11 games.
Bathgate won the Hart Memorial Trophy for the MVP of the NHL in 1958–59 after scoring 40 goals, which was no easy feat in that era.
Renowned for the strength of his slap shot, during a game against the Montreal Canadiens, Bathgate shot the puck into the face of Jacques Plante, forcing Plante to receive stitches.
Bathgate focused mostly on the tactic of spearing, where a player stabs at an opponent with the blade or point of his stick.
I got fined $1,000—and I was only making $18,000 at the time—so you take that, plus the $1,000 we had to pay into our pension, that's a lot of money out of your pocket.
Bathgate owned and managed a golf course while his Brother Frank owned a driving range just down the road both on Hwy 10 in Mississauga, Ontario.
The Rangers retired his #9 along with Harry Howell's #3 in a special ceremony before the February 22, 2009, match against the Maple Leafs.
Bathgate's grandson and namesake, Andy Bathgate, born February 26, 1991, was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft and currently plays for the Birmingham Bulls of the Southern Professional Hockey League.
Fredonyer Pass, elevation , is a high mountain pass in Lassen County, California, southwest of Susanville and southeast of Mount Lassen.
It lies on the Great Basin Divide between the Feather River to the west and the Susan River and Honey Lake to the east.
The pass is traversed by State Route 36 and has virtually the same elevation as Morgan Summit to the west (sources vary).
He and his companions decided not to take the Lassen Trail and instead headed southwest from High Rock and discovered what is now known as Fredonyer Pass.
In 1880, Dr. Fredonyer died in San Francisco after colon surgery to remove a 16 ounce bottle that he had inadvertently lost inside his rectum after an attempt to alleviate a severe case of diarrhea.
In 1995, there was an unsuccessful move to rename Fredonyer Pass to honor of Deputy Sheriff Larry David Griffith, who was slain in the line of duty.
Note that there are other Cenozoic igneous rocks in the Sierra (e.g., near Lake Tahoe), but there is a clear geological division near Fredonyer Pass, and points westward as far as the Sacramento Valley.
NFTY: The Reform Jewish Youth Movement (formerly known as the North American Federation for Temple Youth, often referred to simply as NFTY) is the organized youth movement of Reform Judaism in North America.
Funded and supported by the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ), NFTY exists to supplement and support Reform youth groups at the synagogue level.
Founded on January 15, 1939 by the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (now called the Union for Reform Judaism), the then-titled National Federation of Temple Youth was a program to encourage college students to engage in synagogue life.
NFTY was originally focused in three regions - New York City, Chicago, and Pennsylvania; it soon expanded to all areas of the UAHC.
The first national officers were: Richard Bluestein, president; Bernard Sang, first vice president; Lewis Held, second vice president; Daniel Miller, third vice president; Lenore Cohn, secretary.
The executive committee of NFTY met in June 1939 in New York and discussed college activities, publications and social justice while also confirming cooperation with the UAHC as an affiliate and to cooperate with the National Conference for Community and Justice in interfaith work.
Rabbi Sam Cook organized one of the first regional Labor Day Conclaves of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC) Pennsylvania State Federation, held at Pinemere Camp in 1939.
In 1952, NFTY began Jewish summer camping in the newly purchased facility in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin later called the Olin-Sang-Ruby Union Institute Camp (or OSRUI).
In 1964, the Kutz Camp in Warwick, New York became NFTY's North American leadership camp and the site of North American board meetings.
In the 1950s, NFTY began to focus on social action and mitzvah themes, capitalizing on the vision, ideals, and energy of teenagers to help transform the world.
Local, regional, and national social action efforts were commonplace on issues from the releases of Russian Jews to the fight against poverty to hunger.
NFTY summer trips to Israel, often attended between sophomore and junior years of high school have been attended by thousands of Reform Jewish teenagers.
Trips to Europe, mitzvah trips to locations such as Puerto Rico and Mexico, and archaeological digs have also been sponsored by NFTY in recent decades.
Every other year on President's Day weekend, hundreds to thousands of Reform Jewish teenagers gather for study, prayer, music, and socializing in a major North American city.
A youth advisor's professional training conference was added to run concurrently in 1999 with a youth clergy track added in 2001.
In the late 1980s at Mechina, a leadership training and policy setting gathering of the NFTY General Board, NFTY officially recognized itself as a North American movement, in response to a growing and influential Canadian population.
To this day, the movement still works to get all of its membership, and more importantly, outside press to correctly identify the movement and its various events, i.e.
From the very beginning, the work of NFTY's Youth Leadership has been supported by the adult Professional Staff of NFTY and the Union for Reform Judaism.
Today, NFTY has over 450 local youth groups in 19 regions in the United States and Canada with over 150 regional events a year.
Past NFTYites and NFTY leadership can be found as numerous rabbis, cantors, educators, social workers, synagogue leaders, and active Reform Jews across the world.
For example, Eric Yoffie, recent President of the URJ, was a member of NFTY-Northeast and served as their regional president in 1964.
Throughout the 2014–2015 NFTY year, the Regional Presidents Network drafted a new mission statement to reflect the cohesive values, aspirations, and goals of the North American Federation of Temple Youth.
This mission statement was formally adopted by the NFTY Board, General Board, and adult leadership after being presented at the 2015 NFTY Convention in Atlanta.
Boards vary widely between youth groups and regions, but typically include positions such as: President, Programming Vice-President, Social Action Vice-President, Religious & Cultural Vice-President, Membership Vice-President, Communications Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary.
The youth group advisor or director is sometimes a volunteer in the congregation, a parent, a part-time staff person, or, in a small, but increasing number of synagogues, a full-time position.
While the board structure is at the direction of each group, most are modeled after the regional or North American board.
Each region has an elected executive board of teens, who coordinate the efforts of temple youth groups, plan/assist regional events, improve marketing, and recruit new members.
There is also an adult NFTY Regional Advisor, a paid staff position, who supervises the executive board and is a liaison with TYG advisors.
Some common positions are: President, Programming Vice President, Religious & Cultural Vice President, Social Action Vice President, Membership Vice President, Communications Vice President, Financial Vice President.
The NFTY board is elected each year to establish general policy and themes for the organization as a whole, as well as lead the various leadership networks.
The board currently consists of a President, Programming Vice-President, Social Action Vice-President, Religious & Cultural Vice-President, Membership Vice-President, and Communications Vice-President.
NFTY Convention is a biennial convention for all of the NFTY regions and includes 3 days (as of NFTY Convention 2017) of social, educational, charitable, and religious programming.
Each convention is held in conjunction with the URJ Youth Workers Conference and a plenary session, or asefah, for regional board members.
In the 1960s, folk music became dominants with guitar-led teenagers leading the songs of Pete Seeger, Peter, Paul & Mary, and Bob Dylan, among others, as well as original compositions not usually recorded for posterity.
Following the Six-Day War in Israel, a surge of Zionism in Jewish life pushed Hebrew, Israeli, Chasidic, and liturgically based songs to the forefront.
In 1968, Michael Isaacson introduced a NFTY Folk Service at the Kutz Camp demonstrating the growing trend of participatory, informal, mixed Hebrew/English services and songsessions that have remained the hallmark of a NFTY service.
In recent years, as individual artists, many of them former NFTYites themselves, found it easier to produce their own solo-albums, NFTY has shied away from producing records.
It is formed by the confluence of the North Fork (which rises in North Dakota) and the longer South Fork (which rises in South Dakota) in northwestern South Dakota near Shadehill in Perkins County, near several parcels of the Grand River National Grassland.
It flows east, through the Standing Rock Indian Reservation and joins the Missouri in Lake Oahe, approximately 2 mi (16 km) northwest of Mobridge.
Sitting Bull (1831–1890), a Hunkpapa Lakota holy man who led his people as a tribal chief, was born on the Grand River in or nearby Dakota Territory.
Decades later, he was killed by Indian agency police on the Standing Rock Indian Agency at his camp near the Grand River, as the police tried to arrest him.
The forks of the Grand was the site of a noted 1823 attack by a grizzly bear on frontiersman Hugh Glass.
Villeneuve-Loubet (),Occitan: Vilanuòva e Lo Lobet; Italian:Villanova Lobetto) is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.
It was created by the joining two old villages: the old village of Villeneuve inland and the village of Loubet on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea.
It is at the same time a seaside resort and part of the technopole of Sophia Antipolis, many companies of the tertiary sector being installed in the city.
Villeneuve-Loubet was also the site of a battle in World War II when it was liberated by the First Special Service Force on August 26, 1944.
The tower of the castle was damaged by a shell fired by the US Navy, and dozens of soldiers from both sides were killed or wounded.
In 2006, the bodies of fourteen Germans who were killed during the fighting were discovered in a mass grave near the town by a local medical student.
The New York Giants (informally known as Brickley's Giants and Brickley's New York Giants) were a professional American football team with the American Professional Football Association (now the National Football League) whose only season played was in 1921.
The Brickley's Giants were the first of 17 professional football teams to represent New York City at one time or another.
It was the second-shortest-lived franchise in NFL history, behind only another former New York NFL team, the Tonawanda Kardex, who played only one game in the same 1921 season.
The team was sponsored by the New York Giants professional baseball team, and coached by Brickley, a halfback who was generally considered the finest kicker of his day.
However, after the team's first practice, the 1919 schedule, that began with an opening day game against the Massillon Tigers, was scratched because of conflict with New York's blue laws.
The APFA had played a showcase game between the Canton Bulldogs and the Buffalo All-Americans at the Polo Grounds in December 1920; 20,000 spectators witnessed the contest, a strong crowd for the nascent league.
The 1921 version of the team played several exhibition games, but only two league games, losing to the Buffalo All-Americans in October, and again to the Cleveland Tigers that December.
During their 1921 season, the Giants played their home games at Commercial Field and Ebbets Field, both located in Brooklyn, and the Polo Grounds, located in Manhattan.
In 1925 the NFL was in need of a franchise in a large-city market that could be used to showcase the league.
However, Gibson refused the offer for a new franchise, but he did refer Carr to a friend of his, Tim Mara.
The Ottoman Empire was first subdivided into provinces, in the sense of fixed territorial units with governors appointed by the sultan, in the late 14th century.
It is considered extremely difficult to define the number and exact borders of Ottoman provinces and domains, as their borders were changed constantly.
Until the Tanzimat period, the borders of administrative units fluctuated, reflecting the changing strategies of the Ottomans, the emergence of new threats in the region, and the rise of powerful Ayans.
All the subdivisions were very unequal in regard of area and population, and the presence of numerous nomadic tribes contributed to the extreme variability of the population figures.
The Ottoman Empire over the years became an amalgamation of pre-existing polities, the Anatolian beyliks, brought under the sway of the ruling House of Osman.
The term bey came to be applied not only to these former rulers but also to new governors appointed where the local leadership had been eliminated.
Following the conquests between 1362 and 1400 of Murad I and his son Bayezid I, a need arose for the formal organisation of Ottoman territory.
The first was the initial organisation that evolved with the rise of the Empire and the second was the organisation after extensive administrative reforms of 1864.
Unlike the previous eyalet system, the 1864 law established a hierarchy of administrative units: the vilayet, liva/sanjak, kaza and village council, to which the 1871 Vilayet Law added the nabiye.
At the same time, the law left to the governors vast scope for independent action as well as responsibility, as part of a system intended to achieve a large degree of efficiency in ruling the provinces.
The new provincial system could not be introduced in provinces at the same time, due to both insufficient funds and a lack of experience in administering the new law.
Therefore, the new Danube Vilayet, composed of the former eyalets of Silistria, Vidin, and Nis, was selected to be the pilot project.
Midhat Pasha and Cevdet Pasha were particularly successful in applying the new law in the Vilayets of Danube and Aleppo, respectively.
In 1867, 13 new vilayets were organized, including Bursa, Izmir, Trabzon, Salonica, Prizren, and Iskodra, with an autonomous Crete being organized as a vilayet by Ali Pasha in 1871.
By the end of 1876 the new provincial system was in operation all over the empire, with the sole exception of the Arabian Peninsula and autonomous provinces like Egypt.
Mahmud Nedim Pasha reduced the size of some of the larger provinces, thus taking Sofia from the Danube Vilayet, Sebinkarahisar from Trabzon, and Maras from Adana and making them into separate provinces, and also taking Herzegovina from Bosnia and joining it with Novipazar in a new province.
He played the major role in allocating fiefs in his eyalet, and had a responsibility for maintaining order and dispensing justice.
By the mid-16th century, apart from the principalities north of the Danube, all eyalets came under the direct rule of the sultan.
The office of Beylerbey was the most prestigious and the most profitable in the provincial government, and it was from among the Beylerbeys that the sultan almost always chose his viziers.
Precedence among the remainder, according to Ayn Ali in 1609, followed the order in which the eyalets were conquered, although he does not make it clear whether this ranking had anything other than a ceremonial significance.
A vizieral governor, according to the chancellor Abdurrahman Pasha in 1676, had command over the governors of adjoining eyalets who ‘should have recourse to him and obey his command’.
Furthermore, ‘when Beylerbeys with Vizierates are dismissed from their eyalet, they listen to lawsuits and continue to exercise Vizieral command until they reach Istanbul’.
Like the Beylerbey, the Sanjak-bey drew his income from a prebend, which consisted usually of revenues from the towns, quays and ports within the boundary of his sanjak.
The term sanjak means ‘flag’ or ‘standard’ and, in times of war, the cavalrymen holding fiefs in his sanjak, gathered under his banner.
The troops of each sanjak, under the command of their governor, would then assemble as an army and fight under the banner of the Beylerbey of the eyalet.
Within his own sanjak, a governor was responsible above all for maintaining order and, with the cooperation of the fief holders, arresting and punishing wrongdoers.
For this, he usually received half of the fines imposed on miscreants, with the fief holder on whose lands the misdeed took place, receiving the other half.
Sanjak governors also had other duties, for example, the pursuit of bandits, the investigation of heretics, the provision of supplies for the army, or the despatch of materials for shipbuilding, as the sultan commanded.
sanjak) entrusted to some holder of senior position, or to some margrave, as temporary arrangement before they were appointed to some appropriate position.
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (August 8, 1896 – December 14, 1953) was an American author who lived in rural Florida and wrote novels with rural themes and settings.
Marjorie Kinnan was born in 1896 in Washington, D.C., the daughter of Ida May (née Traphagen) and Arthur Frank Kinnan, an attorney for the US Patent Office.
She grew up in the Brookland neighborhood and was interested in writing as early as age six, and submitted stories to the children's sections of newspapers until she was 16.
She attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison where she joined Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and received a degree in English in 1918.
She was selected as a member of the local senior women's honor society on campus, which in 1920 became a chapter of the national senior women's society, Mortar Board.
In 1928, with a small inheritance from her mother, the Rawlings purchased a 72-acre (290,000 m²) orange grove near Hawthorne, Florida, in a hamlet named Cross Creek for its location between Orange Lake and Lochloosa Lake.
Marjorie filled several notebooks with descriptions of the animals, plants, Southern dialect, and recipes and used these descriptions in her writings.
Encouraged by her editor at Scribner's, Maxwell Perkins, who was impressed by the letters she wrote him about her life in Cross Creek, Rawlings began writing stories set in the Florida scrub country.
Local reception to her stories was mixed between puzzlement concerning whom she was writing about, and rage, since one mother apparently recognized her son as a subject in a story and threatened to whip Rawlings until she was dead.
The book captured the richness of Cross Creek and its environs in telling the story of a young man, Lant, who must support himself and his mother by making and selling moonshine, and what he must do when a traitorous cousin threatens to turn him in.
Moonshiners were the subject of several of her stories, and Rawlings lived with a moonshiner for several weeks near Ocala to prepare for writing the book.
Again it was chosen by the Book-of-the-Month Club, and it was even released in a special armed forces edition, sent to servicemen during World War II.
To absorb the natural setting so vital to her writing, she bought an old farmhouse in Van Hornesville, New York and spent part of each year there until her death.
As many of Rawling's works were centered in the North and Central Florida area, she was often considered a regional writer.
Rawlings used Cason's forename in the book, but described her in this passage:Zelma is an ageless spinster resembling an angry and efficient canary.
She manages her orange grove and as much of the village and county as needs management or will submit to it.
She combines the more violent characteristics of both and those who ask for or accept her ministrations think nothing at being cursed loudly at the very instant of being tenderly fed, clothed, nursed, or guided through their troubles.
Cason was reportedly profane indeed (one of her neighbors reported her swearing could be heard for a quarter of a mile), wore pants, had a fascination with guns, and was just as extraordinarily independent as Rawlings herself.
Rawlings won the case and enjoyed a brief vindication, but the verdict was overturned in appellate court and Rawlings was ordered to pay damages in the amount of $1 US.
In 1941 Rawlings married Ocala hotelier Norton Baskin (1901–1997), and he remodeled an old mansion into the Castle Warden Hotel in St. Augustine (currently the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum).
After World War II, he sold the hotel and managed the Dolphin Restaurant at Marineland, which was then Florida's number one tourist attraction.
After purchasing her land in New York, Rawlings spent half the year there and half the year with Baskin in St. Augustine.
Rawlings resisted social norms of the time in allowing Hurston, an African-American, to sleep in her home instead of relegating her to the tenant house.
In fact, she stated that as a child she had a gift for telling stories, but that she demanded all her audiences be boys.
She was criticized throughout her career for being uneven with her talent in writing, something she recognized in herself, and that reflected periods of depression and artistic frustration.
In the book Rawlings said GeeChee's mother lived in nearby Hawthorne, Florida and GeeChee was blind in one eye from a fight in which she had been involved.
GeeChee was employed by Rawlings on and off for nearly two years in which GeeChee dutifully made life easier for Rawlings.
GeeChee revealed to Rawlings that her boyfriend named Leroy was serving time in prison for manslaughter, and asked Rawlings for help in gaining his release.
She arranged for Leroy to be paroled to her and come work for her estate, and had a wedding on the grounds for Beatrice and Leroy.
She decided he had to leave, which caused her distress because she did not want GeeChee to go with him, and was sure she would.
In return, her name was given to a new dormitory dedicated in 1958 as Rawlings Hall which occupies prime real estate in the heart of the campus.
The North Fork of the Grand River is a tributary of the Grand River, approximately 80 miles (129 km) long, in North Dakota and South Dakota in the United States.
It rises in the Badlands of southwestern North Dakota, in southern Bowman County, and flows ESE, into the Bowman-Haley Reservoir, formed by the Bowman-Haley Dam, then through northwestern South Dakota, past several units of the Grand River National Grassland in northern Perkins County.
Kennedy has made documentary films that center on social issues such as addiction, nuclear radiation, the treatment of prisoners-of-war, and the politics of the Mexican border fence.
On December 19, 1968 (a week after Rory was born), her mother took her to her father's grave at Arlington National Cemetery.
In the 1990s, Rory and fellow Brown classmate Vanessa Vadim (daughter of Roger Vadim and Jane Fonda) formed May Day Media, a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C. that specializes in the production and distribution of films with a social conscience.
The film was released in 1994, and the idea came out of a paper she wrote while a student at Brown on female addicts.
In 1998, Kennedy and another fellow Brown graduate Liz Garbus founded Moxie Firecracker Films, which specializes in documentaries that highlight pressing social issues.
The television networks that have shown its films include: A&E, the UK's Channel 4, Court TV, Discovery Channel, HBO, Lifetime, MTV, Oxygen, PBS, Sundance Channel, and TLC.
It was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and it tells the real stories of AIDS patients outside the Western world.
The movie premiered to rave reviews at the 2003 Tribeca Film Festival and was awarded the Best Documentary prize at the Woodstock Film Festival; it was later broadcast on HBO.
Favorably received, it details the woeful inadequacies of the border fence between the United States and Mexico, which has increased migrants' deaths, but does not deter illegal immigration.
On January 11, 2019, Kennedy co-authored a Rolling Stone opinion piece with Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis and the Malibu Foundation's Trevor Neilson on the current climate crisis.
She was with him at the time of the accident and tried to save his life by giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
The wedding was originally scheduled for July 17 in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, but was postponed after the plane carrying her cousin John F. Kennedy, Jr. and his wife and her sister crashed en route to the event.
According to her mother Ethel, Swift began associating with the family after Rory attended a concert of hers with her daughters, Georgia and Bridget.
Prior to the 1990s, Kennedy was said to have been known solely for being the child who was born after the assassination of her father, Robert F. Kennedy.
Following the plane crash of her cousin John F. Kennedy, Jr., she established notability for being the cousin whose wedding he planned to attend.
Klein then listed the deaths of her father and brother David, as well as her role in unsuccessfully attempting to save the life of her brother Michael Kennedy.
I have enormous respect for all that he accomplished in his short life and how much he was able to move people and touch people.
Robert Taylor Homes was a public housing project in Bronzeville on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, bordered along State Street between Pershing Road (39th Street) and 54th Street alongside the Dan Ryan Expressway.
The project was named for Robert Rochon Taylor, an African-American activist and the first African American chairman of the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA).
It was a part of the State Street Corridor which included other CHA housing projects: Stateway Gardens, Harold Ickes Homes, Dearborn Homes and Hillard Homes.
Robert Taylor Homes were completed in 1962 and named for Robert Rochon Taylor (1899–1957), an African American activist and Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) board member who in 1950 resigned when the city council refused to endorse potential building locations throughout the city of Chicago that would induce racially integrated housing.
At one time, it was the largest public housing development in the country, and it was intended to offer decent affordable housing.
It was composed of 28 high-rise buildings with 16 stories each, with a total of 4,415 units, mostly arranged in U-shaped clusters of three, stretching for two miles (three kilometers).
Including children who are not of working age, at one point 95 percent of the housing development's 27,000 residents were unemployed and listed public assistance as their only income source, and 40 percent of the households were single-parent, female-headed households earning less than $5,000 per year.
Aside from neglect and ignoring crime, police officers also felt unsafe in darkened hallways and were frequently shot at from the high rises.
In the Robert Taylor Homes a survey was conducted and showed that the majority of residents either had a family member in prison or expected one to return from prison within two years.
This caused issues when residents tried to relocate; many of these returning prisoners had partners, children and/or mental illnesses that prevented them from relocating to another residence.
In October 1976, 22–year-old Denise Dozier was thrown from a 15th floor apartment window at the project; she survived the incident.
On June 25, 1983, 18 month-old Vinyette Teague was abducted from the project after her grandmother left her alone in the hallway for a few minutes to answer a phone call.
An estimated 50 people were in the hallway at the time of the abduction, but police were unable to gather enough evidence to make any arrests.
On August 15, 1991, shortly before midnight, CHA police officer Jimmie Haynes was fatally wounded by a sniper rifle at the project.
A maintenance worker at the project was beaten to death by gang members after he allowed police officers access to a building where a gang meeting was taking place in February 1993.
In 1993, it was decided to replace all Robert Taylor Homes with a mixed-income community in low-rise buildings as part of a federal block grant received for the purpose from the HOPE VI federal program.
As of 2007, a total of 2,300 low-rise residential homes and apartments, seven new and renovated community facilities, and a number of retail and commercial spaces are to be built in place of the old high-rise buildings.
This type of research in environmental psychology was most clearly demonstrated by a group of studies done by Frances Kuo and William Sullivan of the Landscape and Human Health Laboratory (formerly the Human-Environment Research Laboratory) at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.
Guru Gobind Singh created and initiated the Khalsa as a warrior with a duty to protect the innocent from any form of religious persecution.
The following Guru, Guru Hargobind formally militarised the Sikhs and emphasised the complementary nature of the temporal power and spiritual power.
In 1675, Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Guru of the Sikhs and the father of Guru Gobind Singh was executed by the Islamic emperor Aurangzeb for resisting religious persecution of non-Muslims, and for refusing to convert to Islam.
In 1699, the tenth Guru of Sikhism, Guru Gobind Singh asked Sikhs to gather at Anandpur Sahib on 30 March 1699, the day of Vaisakhi (the annual harvest festival).
He drew his sword, according to the Sikh tradition, and then asked for a volunteer from those who gathered, someone willing to sacrifice his head.
He asked for another volunteer and repeated the same process of returning from the tent without anyone and with a bloodied sword four more times.
These five volunteers were : Daya Ram (Bhai Daya Singh), Dharam Das (Bhai Dharam Singh), Himmat Rai (Bhai Himmat Singh), Mohkam Chand (Bhai Mohkam Singh), and Sahib Chand (Bhai Sahib Singh).
Not shaving the head also meant not having to pay the taxes by Sikhs who lived in Delhi and other parts of the Mughal Empire.
However, the new code of conduct also led to internal disagreements between Sikhs in the 18th century, particularly between the Nanakpanthi and the Khalsa.
These developments created two groups of Sikhs, those who initiated as Khalsa, and others who remained Sikhs but did not undertake the initiation.
His tradition has survived into the modern times, with initiated Sikh referred to as Khalsa Sikh, while those who do not get baptized referred to as Sahajdhari Sikhs.
The co-initiation of men and women from different castes into the ranks of Khalsa also institutionalized the principle of equality in Sikhism regardless of one's caste or gender.
A Khalsa who breaks any code of conduct is no longer a Khalsa is excommunicated from the Khalsa Panth and must go and 'pesh' (get baptized again).
A Khalsa is enjoined, to be honest, treat everyone as equal, meditate on God, maintain his fidelity, resist tyranny and religious persecution of oneself and others.
Guru Gobind Singh in Oct 1708 deputed his disciple Banda Singh Bahadur to lead the Khalsa in an uprising against the Mughals.
Banda Singh Bahadur first established a Sikh kingdom and then brought in the Land reforms in the form of breaking up large estates and distributing the land to peasants.
The Dal Khalsa fought against the Mughals and the Afghans, eventually resulting in the establishment of a number of small republics called misls (autonomous confederacies) and later in the formation of the Sikh Empire.
After the fall of the Mughal empire and the later establishment of the Sikh Empire in Punjab, the Khalsa was converted into a strong, multireligious and multinational fighting force, modernized according to European principles: the Sikh Khalsa Army which had a huge role in the expansion of the empire.
By the time of death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh in 1839, the whole army of Sikh Empire was assessed at 120,000 men, with 250 artillery pieces.
The boundaries of this state stretched from Tibet to Afghanistan and from Kashmir to Sutlej in the south and included regions of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir, Ladakh, etc.
Initiation into the Khalsa is referred to as Amrit Sanchar (water of immortality life-cycle rite) or Khande di Pahul (Initiation with the double edged sword).
Anyone from any previous religion, age, or knowledge group can take Amrit (Amrit Chhakh) when they are convinced that they are ready.
The devotee must arrive at the place of baptism, usually a Gurdwara, in the morning after bathing completely including having washed their hair and must be wearing the 5 articles of the Khalsa uniform.
After baptism, the new Singh or Kaur must abide by the four restrictions or must get re-baptised if they break any of them.
With the creation of Khalsa, Guru Gobind Singh had abolished all existing social divisions as was fundamental in the teachings of Sri Guru Nanak Dev.
In their new order, the former lowest of the low would stand with the former highest; all would become one and drink from the same vessel.
Many departed from the ceremony, but the Guru declared that the low castes should be raised and would dwell next to him.
The expelled disciples convened a community gathering, at which two wealthy Khatris demanded that the Khalsa produce a written order from the Guru that a new mandatory code of conduct had been promulgated.
Today, the Khalsa is respected by the entire gamut of Sikhs; however, not all Sikhs are Amritdharis The issue of Khalsa code of conduct has led to several controversies.
In the early 1950s, a serious split occurred in the Canadian Sikh community, when the Khalsa Diwan Society in Vancouver, British Columbia elected a clean-shaven Sikh to serve on its management committee.
Although most of the early Sikh immigrants to Canada were non-Khalsa, and a majority of the members of the society were clean-shaven non-Khalsa Sikhs, a faction objected to the election of a non-Khalsa to the management committee.
The factions in Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia broke away from the Khalsa Diwan Society and established their own gurdwara society called Akali Singh.
Many Sikhs in Britain have insisted on their right of not conforming to the Khalsa norms while maintaining that they are truly Sikh.
On the other hand, some of the Khalsa Sikhs think of the non-Khalsa Sikhs as having abandoned the Sikh faith altogether.
The Surtees Racing Organisation was a race team that spent nine seasons (1970 to 1978) as a constructor in Formula One, Formula 2, and Formula 5000.
Surtees formed the team in 1966 for the newly formed CanAm series (an unlimited sports car series), winning the championship as an owner/driver in its first year.
He fielded an entry in another newly formed series in 1969, becoming part of Formula 5000 after taking over the failed Leda F5000 project, and his team constructed its own cars for the first time.
This inspired Surtees to expand to Formula One, and after having had a difficult season with BRM in 1969, he decided to become an owner/driver again.
The team ran the full 1970 season, but John Surtees was forced to run the first four races in an old McLaren due to a delay in the construction of his in-house F1 car.
Surtees added a second full-time car in for German driver Rolf Stommelen, and ran a third car for various drivers in a number of races.
After the 1971 season, Surtees retired from full-time competition, and the team ended up with three new full-time drivers in .
Hailwood returned to Surtees for a full year; joining him were Australian Tim Schenken and Italian Andrea de Adamich, the latter of whom brought sponsorship money to the team.
Schenken was replaced in 1973 by Brazilian Carlos Pace, and the team only ran two full-time cars after de Adamich left following the season opener.
Pace finished third in Austria and fourth in Germany, but it was the only points finishes the team had all season, as Hailwood was left scoreless.
It was a difficult year for Surtees, as Pace left the team in mid-season, and replacement Derek Bell struggled to qualify for races, capped by Austrian driver Helmut Koinigg's fatal crash at the 1974 United States Grand Prix.
A fourth place by Pace at his home track were the only points Surtees managed to get, and they failed to finish in the top ten in the Constructors' Championship.
Low on money for , the team pared back to a single car for John Watson (although a second car was entered for Dave Morgan at Silverstone).
The season was a tremendous struggle for Surtees, with no points scored, and the team missed three of the final four races.
1976 was much better, however, as Surtees landed an otherwise controversial sponsorship deal with Durex condoms, and Australian Alan Jones joined the team.
A second car, with Chesterfield sponsorship, was entered for American Brett Lunger, while a customer car was raced by Frenchman Henri Pescarolo during the second half of the season.
Jones's success resulted in him leaving the team for the emerging Shadow team, and money problems forced Surtees to run one car regularly again in 1977, this time for Vittorio Brambilla.
After racing the car in the British Aurora championship (formerly F5000) briefly that year, Surtees Racing Organization was closed for good.
The Anzac Bridge is an 8-lane cable-stayed bridge spanning Johnstons Bay between Pyrmont and Glebe Island (part of the suburb of Rozelle), close to the central business district of Sydney, Australia.
The bridge forms part of the Western Distributor leading from the Sydney CBD and Cross City Tunnel to the Inner West and Northern Suburbs.
The first bridge was constructed as part of a project to move the abattoirs out of central Sydney, and to construct public abattoirs at Glebe Island.
The bridge was opened in 1862 and was a timber beam bridge long and wide with a swing section on the eastern side.
The second Glebe Island Bridge was an electrically operated swing bridge opened in 1903, the year after the opening of the new Pyrmont Bridge over Sydney's Darling Harbour, which has a similar design.
The bridge was designed by Percy Allan of the New South Wales Public Works Department who also designed the Pyrmont Bridge.
Delays due to increasing traffic, which were exacerbated by having to close a major arterial road to allow the movement of shipping into Blackwattle Bay, led to the construction of the present-day Anzac Bridge.
The stay cable design concept development and final design for the new bridge were carried out by the Roads & Traffic Authority of NSW and the construction by Baulderstone Pty.
The bridge was given its current name on Remembrance Day in 1998 to honour the memory of the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (known as Anzacs) who served in World War I.
A statue of a New Zealand soldier was added to a plinth across the road from the Australian Digger, facing towards the east, and was unveiled by Prime Minister of New Zealand Helen Clark in the presence of Premier of New South Wales Morris Iemma on Sunday 27 April 2008.
Initially the stay cables were plagued by vibrations which have since been resolved by the addition of thin stabilising cables between the stay cables.
There is a pedestrian path / bikeway that runs along the northern side of the bridge, making possible a leisurely 30-to-40-minute walk from Glebe Point Road, down Bridge Road, over the Bridge and round Blackwattle Bay back to Glebe Point Road.
Originally, there were bus stops at the western end of the bridge, but they were removed because buses pulling out from the stops created a hazard as they merged with other traffic moving at (or close to) the speed limit.
The Australian Anzac statue on the northern side of the bridge is adjacent to the former city-bound bus stop; the New Zealand Anzac statue was installed within the ramp area of the former stop on the southern side.
The Glebe Island Bridge was still under construction when Tim Rogers wrote and recorded the song in 1994, with the bridge's name change to 'Anzac Bridge' not occurring until 1998.
It is endemic to a small dune ecosystem in Southern California that used to be a community called Palisades del Rey, close to the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
The largest of these is on the grounds of LAX; a further colony exists on a site within the huge Chevron El Segundo oil refinery complex, and the smallest colony is an area of only a few square yards on a local beach.
Recently, some nearby beach cities such as Redondo Beach have replaced ice plant growth near the beaches with coast buckwheat, in order to provide the butterflies with more of their natural food source.
A zookeeper, sometimes referred as animal keeper, is a person who manages zoo animals that are kept in captivity for conservation or to be displayed to the public.
Early civilizations in Mesopotamia (present day Iraq), Egypt, China and Pakistan / NW India allowed rulers and the wealthy class citizens to keep collections of wild animals.
Some ancient collections of animals were very large and contained a wide variety of species, although specific details of these collections were not recorded.
A zookeeper's responsibilities usually include feeding, maintaining and cleaning the animals, diet preparation, behavioral observation, record keeping, exhibit maintenance and providing environmental enrichment for the animals in their care.
They look for any signs of injuries or illness in the animals, and in the case of sickness or injury, the keeper is responsible for contacting a veterinarian, and sometimes a zookeeper will assist a veterinarian.
For example, a zookeeper can train an elephant to lift their feet so that a veterinarian can check them more easily.
Some zookeepers are responsible for informing an audience, in an exhibit or presentation, about certain types of animals and their behavioral characteristics.
Depending on the zoo structure, keepers may be assigned to work with a broad group of animals, such as mammals, birds, or reptiles, or they may work with a limited collection of animals such as primates, large cats, or small mammals.
Traditionally, the live exhibits were often organized by taxonomy, resulting in clusters of carnivores cages, bird aviaries, primate exhibits, and so on, which led to sections within a zoo cared for by specialized staff.
Some keepers can become highly specialized such as those who concentrate on a specific group of animals like birds, great apes, elephants or reptiles.
Modern habitat exhibits attempt to display a diversity of species of different animal classes within one enclosure to represent ecosystem concepts.
The shift in exhibit arrangements is changing the scope of work for animal keepers, as they become habitat keepers, with a necessary working knowledge of living environment care, including landscape maintenance, plant care, climate control, and expanded knowledge of animals husbandry for many more species across taxonomic classes.
In the USA they are often required to have completed a college degree in zoology, biology, wildlife management, animal science, or some other animal-related field.
In other institutions keepers are required to have finished a full apprenticeship as craftsmen, before receiving special training for their task as animal keeper.
Of course in the vast array of zoos in the world, some of them are still privately owned amateur facilities with a lack of well-trained personnel.
In contrast, some zoos in Australia have a strong reliance on dedicated part-time volunteer workers, who assist zookeepers in the simpler tasks such as preparation of foods and medicines, and cleaning of animal enclosures.
In the USA, in addition to good academic preparation, most zoos prefer to hire people for zookeeping positions who have prior animal-handling experience.
Other internships can be found in an animal-related facility, including vet hospitals, humane society shelters, wildlife rehabilitation centers, farms and stables.
Internships are an opportunity for individuals who are considering a career in animal welfare to learn more about companion animals and their behaviors.
Within the story's narrative, Dantès is an intelligent, honest and loving man who turns bitter and vengeful after he is framed for a crime he did not commit.
When Dantès finds himself free and enormously wealthy, he takes it upon himself to reward those who have helped him in his plight and punish those responsible for his years of suffering.
Dantès relays these events to his patron, M. Morrel, who tells Dantès that he will try to have him named captain.
Dantès rushes off to see his father and then his beloved, the young Catalan woman Mercédès, and the two agree to be married immediately.
On the very night of their nuptial feast, Dantès is arrested as a suspected Bonapartist, a helper to Napoléon, and taken to see the public prosecutor, Gérard de Villefort.
Edmond had been anonymously and falsely denounced by Danglars, Edmond's shipmate over whom he was promoted, and Fernand Mondego, a rival suitor for Mercédès' hand.
The letter claims that on Edmond's last voyage, he made a stopover at the island of Elba, and received a letter from the deposed Emperor Napoléon.
Edmond hands over the letter, which he received in the name of Captain Leclère, and of which the contents are unknown to Edmond.
De Villefort has renounced his father, a staunch Bonapartist, and destroyed the letter to protect himself, not Edmond; to further protect his name, de Villefort sentences Edmond to imprisonment in the dreaded Chateau d'If, an island fortress from which no prisoner had ever escaped, and to which the most dangerous political prisoners are sent.
After six long years in solitary confinement in the dungeons of the Chateau, Edmond decides to commit suicide by starving himself.
He taps on his wall several times, and when the scratching stops, he concludes that it is a prisoner trying to escape.
He then uses the saucepan on which his food is served to begin digging where he heard the scratching before in hopes that it was another prisoner digging his way to freedom.
The two prisoners become very close, with the learned priest teaching Dantès all he knows about reading, mathematics, science, languages, philosophy, history, sword fighting, and economics.
The jailers, rather than burying prisoners, toss them over the fortress' wall into the sea, weighted with an iron ball chained around the legs.
The next day, he swims out to sea as a smuggling ship passes by and is rescued under the pretense of being a shipwreck victim.
Edmond soon suggests a stopover and trading of goods at the small island of Monte Cristo, during which he confirms that Faria's treasure exists.
Upon returning to Marseille, Edmond learns that his father had died of poverty and that Mercédès had married Fernand 18 months after he was supposedly executed for treason.
Caderousse tells him that Morrel had tried to obtain a fair trial for Edmond, and how Mercédès pleaded for his release.
He also learns that those who had remained loyal to him had suffered greatly, while those who had betrayed him had prospered.
Edmond thanks Caderousse for the information, paying him with a large diamond that he said had come into Edmond's possession while in prison.
Realizing that only Morrel had remained loyal, Edmond creates three disguises — an Englishman named Lord Wilmore, a clerk from the banking firm Thomson and French, and Sinbad the Sailor — and uses them to save Morrel from bankruptcy and suicide.
Having purchased the deed to the island from whence he obtained his treasure, Edmond is able to place himself in the upper strata of Parisian society and assume the role of one of the most influential men in all of France.
Having established himself in Parisian society, and having distanced himself from Edmond Dantès, the Count is able to formulate his plans of revenge against the men who betrayed him.
By the end of the novel, Edmond had exacted his revenge on all of the men who would have seen him rot in prison.
He exposes Villefort and Mondego for their part in the conspiracy, ruining their respective reputations and bringing the police down upon them; Villefort goes insane, and Mondego commits suicide.
Danglars is, for a time, captured by the Italian bandit Luigi Vampa, made to understand Edmond's suffering, and stripped of all of his wealth.
Edmond Dantès has been portrayed on film many times by actors such as George Michael Dolenz, Sr., Robert Donat, Jean Marais, Louis Jourdan, Gérard Depardieu, Richard Chamberlain, and, most recently, Jim Caviezel.
In it, the character of Dantès is envisioned as a female protagonist by the name of Emily Thorne (portrayed by actress Emily VanCamp).
In the series, Edmond seeks revenge on Baron Danglars for burning down his village and murdering his fiancée, and kills him at a party.
Edmond poses as a victim of the Queen and becomes Snow and Charming's wine steward, but he is hesitant to kill them after he discovers they are nice people.
Years later, the Evil Queen has redeemed but, because of Dr. Jekyll's serum, Regina and the Queen are two separate people.
The Queen takes Edmond's heart to try and force him to kill Snow and Charming, leaving Regina no option other than to kill Edmond to stop him.
A try is scored by grounding the ball (the ball must be touching the player when coming into contact with the ground) in the opposition's in-goal area (on or behind the goal line).
A try is analogous to a touchdown in American and Canadian football, with the major difference being that a try requires the ball be simultaneously touching the ground and an attacking player, whereas a touchdown merely requires that the player in possession of the ball enter the end zone.
Although a try is worth less in rugby league, it is more often the main method of scoring due to the smaller value of a goal kick and surety of possession.
In rugby union, however, there is heavier reliance placed on goals to accumulate points at elite levels due to the significant value of goals and the defending team's skills.
For the 2015–16 Welsh Premier Division season, World Rugby and the Welsh Rugby Union experimented with the awarding of six points for a try, along with other scoring changes.
In rugby league, an 8-point try is awarded if the defending team commits an act of foul play as the ball is being grounded.
The try is awarded, and is followed by a conversion attempt, in-line from where the try was scored, and then a penalty kick from in front of the posts.
In rugby union, foul play after a try being scored results in a penalty being awarded on the half way mark, in lieu of a kick off.
A penalty try and an 8 point try are two separate results with the latter being scarcely seen in today's game.
The kick is taken at any point on the field of play in line with the point that the ball was grounded for the try, and parallel to the touch-lines.
Note, however, that in both rugby sevens (usually, but not always, played under union rules) and rugby league nines, conversions may only take place as drop kicks.
In rugby league, the game clock continues during preparation and execution of a conversion, with the institution of a 25-second shot clock at certain tournaments from the moment the try is awarded by the referee, within which time the conversion kick must be taken, hence a team may decline a conversion attempt if recommencing play as quickly as possible is advantageous to them.
To make the conversion easier, attacking players will try to ground the ball as close to the centre of the in-goal area as possible.
The attacking player will, however, ground the ball when confronted by a defender rather than risk losing the ball by being tackled or passing it to a teammate.
In both rugby union and rugby league, a conversion is worth two points; a successful kick at goal thus converts a five-point try to seven for rugby union, and a four-point try to six for rugby league.
Modern rugby and all derived forms now favour the try over a goal and thus the try has a definite value, that has increased over time and has for many years surpassed the number of points awarded for a goal.
In rugby league and rugby union, a conversion attempt is still given, but is simply seen as adding extra 'bonus' points.
These points, however, can mean the difference between winning or losing a match, so thought is given to fielding players with good goal-kicking skill.
The change allowed the player who touched down for the try and the player who kicked the conversion to be credited separately for their portions of the score.
Clarkson University is a private research university with its main campus in Potsdam, New York, and additional graduate program and research facilities in the New York Capital Region and Beacon, New York.
It was founded in 1896 and has an enrollment of about 4,300 students studying toward bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in each of its schools or institutes: the Institute for a Sustainable Environment, the School of Arts & Sciences, the David D. Reh School of Business and the Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering.
The school was founded in 1896, funded by the sisters of Thomas S. Clarkson, a local entrepreneur who was accidentally killed while working in his sandstone quarry not far from Potsdam.
When a worker was in danger of being crushed by a loose pump, Clarkson pushed him out of the way risking his own life.
The Clarkson family realized great wealth in the development of such quarries, and Potsdam sandstone was highly sought after by developers of townhouses in New York City and elsewhere.
As of 2001, almost all academics and housing had moved to the hill campus, although the university still uses the downtown buildings known as Old Snell and Old Main for administrative functions.
On Feb. 1, 2016, Union Graduate College merged into Clarkson University and became the Clarkson University Capital Region Campus in Schenectady, N.Y.
Clarkson offers undergraduate and graduate degrees through the School of Arts & Sciences, David D. Reh School of Business, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering and the Clarkson School.
More than 50 majors and minors are available at the undergraduate level, including multidisciplinary degrees in engineering & management (E&M), environmental science & policy, digital arts & sciences, and innovation & entrepreneurship.
The center receives support from the New York State Office of Science, Technology, and Academic Research for research and operating expenses as one of 14 Centers for Advanced Technology (CATs).
Clarkson's 15 Student Projects for Engineering Experience and Design (SPEED) teams allow students across all majors to participate in hands-on, extracurricular projects.
One example is the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom, where students who are studying engineering come to Clarkson for a year as part of one of the exchange programs.
Clarkson University's Entrepreneurship Program is one of the top 15 in the nation, according to the Princeton Review and Entrepreneur magazine.
Clarkson University graduates have some of the highest salaries in the nation, according to the 2019 College Salary Report from PayScale Inc.
The School offers students an early entrance opportunity into college, replacing the typical senior year of high school with a year of college.
It is one of few college early admission programs in the country that provides a real community living/learning experience on a university campus.
Every year 50 to 80 high school students are accepted to The Clarkson School, where they may work towards a GED and take college classes.
They may also work with their high schools to complete a high school diploma or drop out of high school entirely.
After they complete the program, they are given the option to enter Clarkson University with all credits from the previous year or to transfer to another school, usually as freshmen with advanced standing.
They take classes with other University students and usually carry a course load of 15 to 18 credits per semester for two semesters.
The Clarkson School students are housed in Newell House and Ormsby House in Price Hall and the typical class size is about 50 students.
The only buildings remaining in Clarkson's service at the downtown campus are a few administration buildings, the Army ROTC house, the Clarkson Hall Center for Health Sciences (physical therapy and physician assistant studies), and the Peyton Hall Business Incubator.
While Clarkson is an NCAA Division III school, both the men's and women's ice hockey teams compete in Division I, with both teams playing in the ECAC.
Clarkson's most recent NCAA tournament was as the number two seed in the 2019 NCAA Northeast Regional, where they lost in overtime to Notre Dame University, 3-2, in the 1st round.
The women's team is far younger, beginning play in 2003, than the men's team, although they too have become an ECAC power.
The team has appeared in every tournament since entering the ECAC in 2004 and have appeared in four NCAA tournaments, winning the 2018 edition, 2017 edition and 2014 edition, the first three NCAA titles won by the school, the first NCAA ice hockey title won by a school in St. Lawrence County, and the first Division I NCAA championship won by a school from the North Country.
Other Division III varsity teams compete in the Liberty League conference and include baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's cross country, men's golf, men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's soccer, softball, men's and women's swimming, and women's volleyball.
The men and women's alpine skiing and nordic skiing teams compete in the MacConnell Division of the Eastern Collegiate Ski Conference (ECSC), within the United States Collegiate Ski and Snowboard Association (USCSA).
They are top contenders almost every year within their division and even conference, and have consistently qualified for the annual USCSA National Championships numerous times.
Other non-varsity clubs include men's and women's ice hockey, men's lacrosse, men's and women's rugby union, men's soccer, men's bowling, combined men's and women's crew, and ultimate frisbee.
Clarkson University's Student Association (CUSA) sponsors more than 130 clubs and organizations, the largest of which being the Outing Club, Ski Club, Cornhole Club, the Clarkson Pep Band, and the Clarkson Union Board.
K2CC has both analog and digital voice repeaters and maintains a contest and experimentation room equipped with DX, weak signal and satellite radios and antennas.
Students can broadcast their own shows, and offers a wide variety of music from Rap to Alternative, from Classic rock to street punk.
The station has a fully equipped broadcast studio (studio A), as well as a second studio for mixing (studio B), and a fully functional recording studio.
The Clarkson Photo Club is a group of students with strong interests in photography, ranging from black and white, color, or digital.
Each year, executive board members of the Golden Knotes hire music students from the neighboring Crane School of Music to serve as music director of the group.
Clarkson Robotics is a unique club on campus that brings Clarkson University students together with local high school students to design, build, and test a robot that competes in the FIRST Robotics Competition each year.
Applied CS Labs - The Applied Computer Science Labs at Clarkson University consist of the Clarkson Open Source Institute, the Internet Teaching Lab, and the Virtual Reality Lab, however only the first is populated.
These labs, better known as COSI, are almost entirely student-run, offering the opportunity to gain experience in managing both facilities and projects.
The band consists of approximately 75 full-time members, and performs at Clarkson's Cheel Arena at all of the home games for the Men's NCAA Division 1 hockey team and some games for the NCAA Division 1 Women's team.
The band also travels to Clarkson Men's ECAC Hockey conference away games with 35-40 members (unless restricted by the policies of the opposing team's arena, notably at Saint Lawrence University) and post-season tournaments.
The Clarkson Theatre Company (CTC) is a student-run theatre group, part of Clarkson University and supported by the Clarkson University Student Association (CUSA).
The mission of CTC is to provide both theatrical entertainment and an outlet for artistic self-expression in the realm of the theatre arts at Clarkson.
This festival is usually put on as a fundraiser for a charity chosen by the executive board, and takes place at the end of January or beginning of February.
Show choice for each slot is not limited to either a musical or play, but it is traditional to use this structure; as shows are chosen by a general member vote, however, any show can be chosen to be put on any semester.
Wes Craven, creator of the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, was a professor at Clarkson University in 1968, as well as faculty adviser to the Clarkson Drama Club (the predecessor of the current Clarkson Theatre Company).
As part of one of Professor Craven's classes, Humanities IV, several Theta Chi members wanted to make a spoof of traditional horror movies, about the strange occurrences in their fraternity's house at 18 Elm Street.
While none of those involved had very much film experience, they made the film for about $300 and it was shown twice on campus.
In 1977, the first Clarkson-only sorority was founded, and in 1987 Clarkson discontinued recognition of the local sororities at SUNY Potsdam.
Clarkson women were still allowed to join these organizations but they could not participate in on-campus rush or live in their houses prior to other off-campus options.
Over the years, there have been many different fraternities and sororities that have come and gone due to declining membership, university probationary periods, and disaffiliation from nationals.
Additionally, any new organization applying for recognition after 1977 must affiliate with a national organization within five years to maintain recognition.
Clarkson recognized international and national fraternities are Alpha Chi Rho, Delta Upsilon, Phi Kappa Sigma, Sigma Chi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Tau Epsilon Phi and Tau Kappa Epsilon; recognized local fraternities are Omicron Pi Omicron, and Zeta Nu.
Additionally, there are a number of professional Greek lettered organizations: Alpha Kappa Psi, Chi Epsilon, Omega Chi Epsilon, Phi Delta Epsilon, Phi Kappa Phi, Tau Beta Pi, and Tri-Beta.
IFC helps to sponsor educational opportunities for all of its members and to help to promote the fraternal ideals of leadership, scholarship, service, community and brotherhood.
The Panhellenic Council provides many opportunities for involvement in campus life and the fraternity and sorority system outside of the individual sororities.
A few organizations have chapter houses off campus; others have plans of having chapter houses on campus in the near future.
ROTC has been an institution at Clarkson since May 1936, when the first ROTC Battalion was activated during the tenure of College President James S. Thomas.
The headquarters for the Golden Knight Battalion was at 49 Elm St. on Clarkson's downtown campus, where it has been located for decades.
Sian Mary Williams, (; born 28 November 1964) is a Welsh journalist and current affairs presenter, best known for her work with the BBC.
She gained a BA in English and History from Oxford Polytechnic (now Oxford Brookes University), studied critical journalistic writing at the University of Rhode Island, and graduated with a MSc in Psychology from the University of Westminster.
Williams joined the BBC in 1985 and began working as a reporter and producer for BBC Local Radio stations in Liverpool, Sheffield, Leeds and Manchester.
Williams was also a programme editor for a number of news and election specials across Radio 4 and BBC Radio 5 Live.
Producers were impressed with her performance and they offered her the prime presenting slot of 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm alongside Gavin Esler.
She became a relief presenter of the bulletin and in 2001 she became its main Friday presenter during Fiona Bruce's maternity leave.
In 2014, she began studying for a master's degree in Psychology at the University of Westminster, specialising in the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder on journalists and reporters.
In February 1991, Williams married Neale Hunt, a former director of advertising firm McCann Erickson, with whom she had two sons.
Following the couple's divorce, Williams married Paul Woolwich in 2006 and gave birth to her third son in October 2006, later disclosing in an interview that she received two litres of blood following complications.
He was inducted into the Austin City Limits Hall Of Fame as one of the first three members, the other two being Willie Nelson and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Arguably best known as a pedal steel player, Maines is a multi-instrumentalist who has also performed and/or recorded playing dobro, electric and acoustic guitar, mandolin, lap steel guitar, banjo and bell tree.
He toured and recorded as a member of the Joe Ely Band and has also played with Jerry Jeff Walker, Guy Clark, Butch Hancock, Terry Allen, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Golden Bear, and other Texas musicians.
He has produced and worked on recording projects with numerous artists, including the Bad Livers, Richard Buckner, Roger Creager, Pat Green, Butch Hancock, Wayne Hancock, Terri Hendrix, Rita Hosking, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Intocable, Robert Earl Keen, the Lost Gonzo Band, Bob Livingston, Charlie Robison, Owen Temple, Two Tons of Steel, Jerry Jeff Walker, The Waybacks, and Martin Zellar.
He frequently tours with Terri Hendrix throughout the United States, and is a major part of her band and production as an artist.
As the father of Natalie Maines, lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, he was instrumental in bringing the current lineup of bandmates together in 1995, which jump-started their sudden popularity and change in sound.
The college is named after Mother Colette Hilbert of the Franciscan Sisters of Saint Joseph, who founded the school to train teachers in 1957.
Hilbert College is a coeducational liberal arts college that currently enrolls approximately 800 students and grants both undergraduate and master's degrees.
Hilbert College offers 17 bachelor's degree programs, including psychology, digital media and communication, criminal justice, forensic science, computer security and information assurance, business, legal studies, cybersecurity, and more.
Hilbert helps students transition to college life with its First-Year Experience (FYE) program, which includes faculty/staff mentoring, seminars, guest lectures, and other tools to promote academic success and persistence to graduation.
Bogel Hall and McGrath Library were the first buildings to open when the college moved from the FSSJ Motherhouse to the new Hamburg campus.
The college later added four new apartment-style residence buildings (2003); a new residence hall, Trinity Hall (2009); an academic building, Paczesny Hall (2006); a 430-seat theater, Swan Auditorium (2006); and made renovations to the Hafner Recreation Center (2005).
Students can take part in academic clubs, honor societies, club sports, literary and drama clubs, a student newspaper, military and criminal justice clubs, as well as student government.
The Hafner Recreation Center, home to the college's basketball and volleyball teams, includes a 2,000-square-foot fitness center, four locker rooms and administrative offices.
The Hilbert Hawks participate in NCAA Division III athletics and most of the college's 15 intercollegiate teams compete in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC).
The Hawks field teams in baseball, men's and women's basketball, women's bowling, men's and women's cross country, mixed golf, men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's soccer, softball, men's and women's track, and women's volleyball.
The Peter Strauss Ranch is a regional park unit of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area - and operated by the National Park Service as Peter Strauss Ranch Park.
It is located in the central Santa Monica Mountains — on Mulholland Highway near Agoura Hills, Southern California, in the Western United States.
The Peter Strauss Ranch Park is noted for its extensive California oak woodlands and montane chaparral habitats traversed by a walking path and hiking trail.
The park's habitats represent the California chaparral and woodlands Ecoregion - with the diverse species of the flora of the Santa Monica Mountains.
Recreational facilities, beyond trails, also include guided nature walks and programs, a swimming pool and the Lake Enchanto Dam, and a stone ranch house with a large terrazzo patio available for outdoor social events, including concerts, weddings, picnics, and art exhibits.
After California became one of the United States in 1850, the area was surveyed in 1881 to confirm the grant's land patent.
In the early 20th century, the automobile manufacturer Harry Miller, famous for his patented master carburetor featured at the Indianapolis 500, purchased the ranch as a weekend retreat from his factory and residence in Los Angeles.
Competition from other, larger amusement parks and resorts led to the decline of Lake Enchanto, which fell into disrepair and closed around 1960.
Strauss restored the property to a more natural look and lived there until 1983, when he sold it to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy.
It was known as the Oneida and Genesee Conference Seminary, the Oneida Conference Seminary, and the Central New York Conference Seminary over the years.
It did not officially adopt the name Cazenovia Seminary until 1894, but the name was at times used from its inception and is often used to refer to it at any time before it became a college.
In 1942 Church sponsorship of Cazenovia was withdrawn, and it was reorganized to include a junior college program as well as the prep school, with the name of Cazenovia Junior College.
In 1982 it returned to being co-educational and adopted its present name, although it was not recognized as a bachelor's degree-granting institution until 1988.
Men's sports include baseball, basketball, crew, cross country, equestrian, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis and volleyball; women's sports include basketball, cheerleading, crew, cross country, equestrian, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis and volleyball.

As its distribution has been proven to be limited to one single site it has one of the best claims to being the world's rarest butterfly.
It was described in 1977, shortly before it became one of the second groups of butterflies to be listed under the US Endangered Species Act in 1980.
The last three to six known individuals were seen and photographed in March, 1983, but the site they occupied was scraped shortly after for fire control.
Then, in 1994, the butterfly was rediscovered by Rick Rogers, Rudi Mattoni, and Timothy Dahlum at the Defense Fuel Support Point in San Pedro, which is located on the northern (inland) side of the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
The male has a bright silvery-blue dorsal wing outlined in a narrow line of black, while the female's dorsal wing is a more brownish-gray colour.
It is rare to see the Palos Verdes blue far from its home food patch, but research shows that males cover more distance and have longer periods of flight.
The main threat to the Palos Verdes blue has been habitat destruction due to weeds and rototilling, which has negative effects on the essential larval food plants.
Recreational, commercial, or residential development of the Palos Verdes Peninsula is also a major concern in preservation of the food plants.
In 1982, the city of Rancho Palos Verdes bulldozed the then most extensive known habitat of the butterfly to build a baseball field, an act believed to have been a principal cause of the die-off of the subspecies before its rediscovery in 1994.
The case was dismissed later that year by a federal court, which said a municipality was not a person for purposes of the ESA, and thus could not be held criminally responsible.
Particular sites of reintroduction and rehabilitation of the Palos Verdes blue include Defense Fuel Support Point in San Pedro and the Linden H. Chandler Preserve.
In conjunction with other organizations, the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy is installing and maintaining coastal sage scrub habitat on the slopes around the fuel tanks to benefit the blue butterfly.
Since that time, the Defense Logistics Agency, which operates the facility, has funded habitat restoration and a breeding program for the blue butterfly.
Honey, produced on the premises, is provided to the captive rearing program so the butterflies are able to feed on the same food source as its wild companions.
Although population viability analysis models are often very important for predicting the outcome of conservation efforts, there have been many problems with using population viability analysis models to predict Palos Verdes blue populations.
This type of modeling has proved inconclusive mainly because the Palos Verdes blue utilizes habitat so variably, depending on climatic and successional changes.
Long-term population studies are not available to provide this information because of the many local extinctions and declining numbers of this subspecies.
Current conservation efforts are supported by the Defense Logistics Agency and the U.S. Navy and implemented by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy, The Urban Wildlands Group, and The Butterfly Project led by biologist Jana J. Johnson at Moorpark College.
The Youth Environmental Service program of the Palos Verdes / South Bay Audubon Society and other volunteer groups have provided help weeding and establishing habitat for the butterfly.
The Youth Environmental Service (YES) program started in 2012 and focuses on conserving the Linden H. Chandler Preserve, where they work on restoring native plants for the Palos Verdes blue butterfly.
In abstract algebra, the free monoid on a set is the monoid whose elements are all the finite sequences (or strings) of zero or more elements from that set, with string concatenation as the monoid operation and with the unique sequence of zero elements, often called the empty string and denoted by ε or λ, as the identity element.
As the name implies, free monoids and semigroups are those objects which satisfy the usual universal property defining free objects, in the respective categories of monoids and semigroups.
The monoid (N,+) of natural numbers (including zero) under addition is a free monoid on a singleton free generator, in this case the natural number 1.
Thus, the abstract study of formal languages can be thought of as the study of subsets of finitely generated free monoids.
More generally, the regular languages over an alphabet A are the closure of the finite subsets of A*, the free monoid over A, under union, product, and generation of submonoid.
Note that string projection is well-defined even if the rank of the monoid is infinite, as the above recursive definition works for all strings of finite length.
For free monoids of finite rank, this follows from the fact that free monoids of the same rank are isomorphic, as projection reduces the rank of the monoid by one.
The fundamental theorem of arithmetic states that the monoid of positive integers under multiplication is a free commutative monoid on an infinite set of generators, the prime numbers.
Wells was established as a women's college in 1868 by Henry Wells, founder of Wells Fargo and the American Express Company.
In 1906 Henry Wells' 1852 mansion, Glen Park, was purchased by the Alumnae Association and given to the College for its use.
In 1886, Frances Folsom, Wells Class of 1885, married President Grover Cleveland and became the youngest First Lady of the United States.
After 136 years as a women's college, Wells announced on October 2, 2004 that it would become a co-educational institution in 2005.
Wells, which officially became an NCAA Division III institution prior to the 1986–87 athletic season, joined the Atlantic Women's Colleges Conference prior to the 1996–97 athletic season.
As part of the Board of Trustees decision to begin accepting men to the traditionally all-women's college, Wells in 2005 incorporated men's soccer, men's swimming, and men's and women's cross country into their athletic cadre.
Prior to the 2007–08 academic year, the Express teams were invited to join the North Eastern Athletic Conference and compete against 14 other schools in the East Region.
By joining the NEAC, Wells can compete for conference championships with the added benefit of receiving an automatic qualifier in select sports to participate in the NCAA tournament.
Men's basketball, who won the NEAC championship in 2010–11, was the first team from Wells to participate in the NCAA Tournament.
As of the 2015–16 athletic season, Wells offers 16 NCAA Division III varsity sports, including field hockey, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's soccer, men's and women's swimming, men's and women's volleyball, men's and women's cross country, softball, baseball, and women's tennis.
Wells allows students to have take-home exams, and to work in their residence hall rooms, at the library, or on the dock by the lake, rather than only in classrooms.
This is most easily visualized in two dimensions (the Euclidean plane) by thinking of one set of points as being colored blue and the other set of points as being colored red.
The problem of determining if a pair of sets is linearly separable and finding a separating hyperplane if they are, arises in several areas.
In statistics and machine learning, classifying certain types of data is a problem for which good algorithms exist that are based on this concept.
One reasonable choice as the best hyperplane is the one that represents the largest separation, or margin, between the two sets.
So we choose the hyperplane so that the distance from it to the nearest data point on each side is maximized.
If the training data are linearly separable, we can select two hyperplanes in such a way that they separate the data and there are no points between them, and then try to maximize their distance.
Quercus agrifolia, the California live oak or coast live oak, is a highly variable, often shrubby evergreen oak tree, a type of live oak, native to the California Floristic Province.
Some specimens may attain an age exceeding 250 years, with trunk diameters up to , such as those on the Filoli estate in San Mateo County.
The crown is broadly rounded and dense, especially when aged 20 to 70 years; in later life the trunk and branches are more well defined and the leaf density lower.
The leaves are dark green, oval, often convex in shape, long and broad; the leaf margin is spiny-toothed (spinose), with sharp thistly fibers that extend from the lateral leaf veins.
The convex leaf shape may be useful for interior leaves which depend on capturing reflected light scattered in random directions from the outer canopy.
The flowers are produced in early-to-mid spring; the male flowers are pendulous catkins long, the female flowers inconspicuous, less than long, with 1–3 clustered together.
The fruit is a slender reddish brown acorn long and broad, with the basal quarter enclosed in a cupule; unusually for a red oak, the acorns mature about 7–8 months after pollination (most red oak acorns take 18 months to mature).
Coast live oak is the only California native oak that actually thrives in the coastal environment, although it is rare on the immediate shore; it enjoys the mild winter and summer climate afforded by ocean proximity, and it is somewhat tolerant of aerosol-borne sea salt.
It is the dominant overstory plant of the coast live oak woodland habitat, often joined by California bay laurel and California buckeye north of Big Sur.
Normally the tree is found on well drained soils of coastal hills and plains, often near year round or perennial streams.
It may be found in several natural communities including coast live oak woodland, Engelmann oak woodland, valley oak woodland and both northern and southern mixed evergreen forests.
While normally found within of the Pacific Ocean at elevations less than , in southern California it occasionally occurs at up to in altitude.
The trees recover, and botanists speculate that the species provide mutual benefit, possibly in the form of fertilizer for the oak.
The seeds were ground into meal, which after being washed was boiled into mush or baked in ashes to make bread.
In the 18th century, Spaniards in the San Fernando Valley used the wood for charcoal to fire kilns in making adobe.
Pioneers moving west would harvest small amounts for making farm implements and wagon wheels, but the greatest impact was the wholesale clearing of oak woodlands to erect sprawling cities such as San Diego and San Francisco.
The irregular shape often let the tree escape widespread harvest for building timbers, and also led the early settlers to endow the coast live oak with mystical qualities.
It is however sensitive to changes in grading and drainage; in particular, it is important to respect the root crown level and avoid adding soil near the trunk when construction or landscaping occurs.
The term enemy of the people or enemy of the nation, is a designation for the political or class opponents of the subgroup in power within a larger group.
The Soviet Union made extensive use of the term until 1956, notably Stalin, who used it to describe anybody critical of himself personally.
Enemy of the people (Alb: Armiku i popullit) in Albania was the enemy typology of the Communist Albanian regime used to denounce political or class opponents.
From 1945 to 1991, around 5000 men and women were executed and close to 100,00 were sent to prison as they were labeled enemies of the people.
On June 1, 1945, The Albanian Central Commission for the Discovery of Crimes, of War Criminals and Enemies of the People requested the International Commission for the Discovery of Crimes and War Criminals to hand over a number of Albanian war criminals found in concentration camps in Italy such as Bari, Lecce, Salerno and others.
This automatically translated into a deprivation of various social benefits; some of them, e.g., rationing, were at times critical for survival.
It made possible the use of the cruelest repression, violating all norms of [...] legality, against anyone who in any way disagreed with Stalin, against those who were only suspected of hostile intent, against those who had bad reputations ...
In whatever country they settle and spread themselves out, they produce the same effects as are produced in the human body by germs.
In the United States during the 1960s, leftist organizations such as the Black Panther Party and Students for a Democratic Society were known to use the term.
The paper issued character assassinations of all the judges involved in the ruling (Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas, Sir Terence Etherton, and Lord Justice Sales), and received more than 1,000 complaints to the Independent Press Standards Organisation.
The Secretary of State for Justice, Liz Truss issued a three line statement defending the independence and impartiality of the judiciary, which some saw as inadequate due to the delayed response and failure to condemn the attacks.
Some commentators tried to link these comments to a mass shooting at the offices of a newspaper publisher in Annapolis, Maryland, that took place only days later, on June 28.
The 7 km long, sandy beach here, backed by vegetated hills and looking out to Hios and Psara, offers some of the warmest, cleanest swimming on Lesvos.
3 km west you can gaze out to the cape of Agios Fokas, where foundations and columns stubs remain of the temple of Dionysos and an early Christian basilica.
The Vatera area hit the Greek news in 1997 when a palaeontologist, Michael Dermitzakis, confirmed what farmers unearthing bones had long suspected when he announced that the area was a treasure trove of two-million-year-old fossils, belonging to the Late Pliocene.
Around two million years ago, Lesvos was not an island but was joined to the Asian mainland, and the gulf of Vatera was a subtropical shallow sea.
The environment of Vatera at that time, was partly forested, partly open woodlands, with meandering rivers through the area flowing to the sea.
In the nearby village of Vrissa, the University of Athens has established a natural history collection dedicated to the palaeontological finds.
Ramil Sahib oglu Safarov (, ); born August 25, 1977) is an officer of the Azerbaijani Army who was convicted of the 2004 murder of Armenian Army Lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan.
During a NATO-sponsored training seminar in Budapest, Safarov broke into Margaryan's dormitory room at night and axed Margaryan to death while he was asleep.
In 2006, Safarov was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment in Hungary with a minimum incarceration period of 30 years.
After his request under the Strasbourg Convention, he was extradited on August 31, 2012 to Azerbaijan, where he was greeted as a hero, pardoned by Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev despite contrary assurances made to Hungary, promoted to the rank of major and given an apartment and over eight years of back pay.
Ramil Safarov was born on August 25, 1977 in the town of Jabrayil, former Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic of Soviet Union (now Azerbaijan) where he finished middle school.
Jabrayil was occupied by Armenian forces on August 26, 1993, and remains under control of Nagorno-Karabakh army as part of the unresolved Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
This, however, contradicted another version he told the court, where he stated that he was studying in Azerbaijan's capital of Baku and in Turkey from 1992 to 1996.
He continued his studies at Maltepe Military High School in İzmir and then at the Turkish Military Academy, graduating in 2000, after which he returned to Azerbaijan.
In January 2004, the 26-year-old Ramil Safarov, along with another officer from Azerbaijan, went to Budapest (Hungary), to participate in the three-month English language courses, organized by NATO's Partnership for Peace program for military personnel from different countries.
Safarov's roommate had returned to his native Ukraine to attend the funerals of his relatives and so nobody interrupted Safarov as he sharpened the axe in his room.
At around 5:00 am on February 19 Safarov took the axe and went to Margaryan's room, which he was sharing with his Hungarian roommate, Balázs Kuti.
The noises woke up Kuti, who was shocked seeing the Azerbaijani officer standing by Gurgen’s bed with a long axe in his hands.
He said that he had no problems with me and would not touch me, stabbed Gurgen a couple of more times and left.
Afterwards, Safarov headed for the room of Makuchyan, the other Armenian student, with the intention of attacking him also, but found his door locked.
The half-sleeping Makuchyan wanted to open the door, but his Lithuanian roommate stopped him and called his compatriot next door to check what was going on.
Meanwhile, Safarov went to look for Hayk in the room of the Serbian and the Ukrainian roommates, showing them the blood-stained axe and stating that he thirsted for nobody's blood but Armenian.
Safarov then attempted to break the door with the axe, but, by this time, the students in the neighboring rooms already woke up, went out to the corridor and tried to persuade him to stop.
A Hungarian court later found that it was an attempt on Makuchyan’s life and recognized the latter also as a victim.
While announcing the verdict the judge particularly emphasized that if Safarov had not been restrained by his fellow officers he would have killed the second Armenian officer as well.
According to Balázs Kuti, at the very beginning of the language courses, when the students got acquainted, there was a conversation about different international issues, but nobody spoke of it afterwards.
Makuchyan's neighbor, officer Saulius Paulius also said that he observed nothing strange in the relationship between the Armenian and the Azerbaijani guys.
The police afterwards interrogated all the students and all testified that there was no conflict between the Armenian and the Azerbaijani officers and that they did not even interact with each other.
To the question as to why he chose to attack Margaryan first Safarov answered it was because he was big, muscular and of sportive type.
When the case went to trial Safarov's defense asserted that the murder was committed because Margaryan had insulted the Azerbaijani flag.
Safarov did not mention any of this in either his interrogation or his court trial and made it very clear he killed Margaryan just because he was an Armenian.
No witnesses were ever called during the trial to corroborate these allegations of harassment in court and prosecution lawyers strongly disputed that they had taken place.
Despite the lack of evidence the Azerbaijani media, including state-owned media outlets, have circulated the version of the flag for making Safarov a national hero.
The judge, Andras Vaskuti, cited the premeditated nature and brutality of the crime and the fact that Safarov showed no remorse for his deeds as the reasons for the sentence.
The United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs condemned Azerbaijan's reaction to the brutal murder of the Armenian officer in a hearing.
After serving eight years of the life sentence, Safarov was extradited under the framework guidelines of the 1983 Strasbourg Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons and transferred to Azerbaijan on August 31, 2012.
Azerbaijani Defense Minister Safar Abiyev promoted Safarov to the rank of major and the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan provided him with an apartment and over eight years of back pay.
Novruz Mammadov, the head of the presidential foreign relations department, said that secret talks had been going on for a year between Azerbaijan and Hungary, and that agreement had been reached on the visit of Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán.
A week before Safarov's release there came reports that the two countries were in talks over a loan from Azerbaijan to Hungary of 2-3bn euros ($2.5-3.8bn; £1.6-2.4bn) which gave way to speculations in Hungary that Orbán extradited Safarov in return for a promise that Azerbaijan would buy Hungarian bonds.
It is very touching to see this son of the homeland, which was thrown in jail after he defended his country's honor and dignity of the people.
President Serzh Sargsyan announced Armenia's suspension of diplomatic relations and all official communications with Hungary on the day of Safarov's release.
Sargsyan suggested the possibility that Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev and Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán had entered into a secret agreement during the latter's visit to Baku on June 30, 2012.
A number of sources in the media have also speculated that Hungary's deepening economic ties with Azerbaijan may have had something to do with Safarov's release.
Despite government denials, opposition parties said Orbán let Safarov return to Azerbaijan in the hope of economic favors in return from the energy producer Azerbaijan.
Representatives of MSZP, the largest opposition party, called for various subcommittees of the parliament to examine who exactly made the decision and why the procedure was kept secret.
Zardusht Alizadeh, chair of the Open Society Institute in Azerbaijan, condemned the act of pardon, saying it would not contribute positively to the peaceful solution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Azerbaijani media have criticized the United States' concern for Safarov's pardon and added that it should have reacted the same way when Varoujan Garabedian, a member of ASALA who was imprisoned in France, was expelled to Armenia after his pardon by France in 2001.
Meanwhile, the organization Azerbaijani Americans for Democracy sent an open letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, urging the United States to devote more of its attention to the human rights abuses of President Aliyev, instead of Safarov's pardon.
In October 2012 four Hungarian intellectuals - historian, political analyst Zoltán Bíró, rector of the John Wesley Theological College Gábor Iványi, journalist/publicist Gábor Deák and writer Rudolf Ungváry, arrived in Armenia to apologize for the extradition of Ramil Safarov.
Hungarian scientist and expert in Armenian studies Benedek Zsigmond joined in the protest organized by many NGOs in Hungary against the decision of Safarov's extradition and made a public statement of apology for the Hungarian government's action.
In September, the Kispest district of Budapest had a new square named after Kemal Atatürk and a statue of him was revealed among protests from local Armenians and Greeks who considered it a provocation.
In the months preceding the ceremony the local government was pondering the matter, being caught between the resentment of minority groups and the will to preserve good relations with its sister city Pendik, whose representatives have already been invited to the ceremony.
In many cities around the world where Armenian diaspora is present demonstrations took place against Hungarian and Azerbaijani government actions, including New York City, Ottawa, Tbilisi, Rostov-on-Don.
Their relationship with the Hungarian government is getting worse every day and the authorities are making their lives more difficult through scare tactics.
The highway's northern terminus is north of Westhope, North Dakota, at the Canada–United States border, where it continues as Manitoba Highway 83.
US 83 is a largely north–south highway, in length, in Texas except for a segment parallel to the Rio Grande, where it takes an east–west course, much of which runs concurrently with the Interstate 2 (I-2) freeway.
It enters the United States and Texas near Brownsville concurrent with US 77 and then splits from US 77 at Harlingen.
Passing Weslaco with I-2, it begins to veer northward and passes the current western terminus of I-2 at Penitas, follows the Rio Grande to Laredo where it meets I-35 in a concurrency before heading northwestward.
It meets I-10 at Junction, where it has a concurrency with I-10, before heading almost due-north to Abilene, meeting I-20 on an expressway before heading north again on mostly undivided surface roads.
US-83 traverses the Oklahoma panhandle along the western border of Beaver County, but in this brief stretch it encounters no fewer than three other federal highways.
At this intersection, US-270 West joins the highway, and together with US-83 proceeds northbound for the final six miles (10 km) to the Kansas line.
North of Liberal, US 83 begins a multiplex with US 160, and the highways remain joined until reaching Sublette, the seat of Haskell County.
US 83 and US 160 split north of Sublette, with US 160 heading west toward Ulysses, and US 83 continuing north toward Garden City.
At Garden City, US 50 and US 400 join US 83 for a brief concurrency on a bypass around the east and north sides of the city while U.S. 83 Business follows the former routing through downtown.
At the north end of the US 50-83 Business route, US 83 splits and heads north toward Scott City, while US 50 and US 400 remain joined through the rest of the state.
The highway passes through largely unpopulated areas of Finney County and Scott County before reaching a junction with K-96 in downtown Scott City.
In northern Scott County, K-4 has its origins at US 83, heading east toward Healy, and US 83 traverses through rolling farmlands until reaching Oakley, the seat of Logan County.
US 83 reaches US 40 less than a mile west of Interstate 70, and the two highways jog west for a brief multiplex before US 83 splits and crosses I-70.
After passing through Selden, K-383 splits from US 83 and continues northeast to US 36, while US 83 meets the beginning of K-23.
After leaving North Platte in a northeasterly direction, it turns north near Thedford and goes north through the Sand Hills to Valentine.
The South Dakota section of U.S. 83, with the exception of concurrencies with U.S. 18, Interstate 90, U.S. 14, U.S. 212, and U.S. 12, is defined at South Dakota Codified Laws § 31-4-180.
U.S. 83 enters North Dakota at the South Dakota state line, near the town of Hague, and runs northward for approximately , serving the small cities of Strasburg and Linton before reaching Interstate 94.
Headed toward Minot U.S. 83 traverses mostly agricultural land, passing through the some small cities such as Wilton, Washburn and Underwood north to Max.
Leaving Underwood, U.S. 83 encounters a large strip-mining coal (lignite) operation which can not only be seen from the roadway in the vicinity of Falkirk, but a small viaduct carries coal over the highway.
North of Coleharbor, U.S. 83 briefly merges both roadways and shares land with an adjacent railroad line in order to cross a viaduct that separates Lake Sakakawea from Lake Audubon.
North of the lakes, the surroundings return to cropland and grazing land, though a wind farm is located south of Minot.
U.S. 83 passes directly through Minot, where it is known as Broadway, although the Minot Bypass to the west is an alternate route.
From Minot, the northbound route passes Minot Air Force Base where it returns to a two-lane highway, and shares a roadway with eastbound North Dakota Highway 5 about north of the base for about 10 miles.
Blue balls is slang for the condition of temporary fluid congestion (vasocongestion) in the testicles accompanied by testicular pain, caused by prolonged sexual arousal in the human male without ejaculation.
In this episode, hearing that legendary Starfleet officer Spock may have defected to the Romulan Empire, Picard travels to Vulcan to talk to Spock's father, former ambassador Sarek, who is near death from the ravages of Bendii Syndrome.
In a rare lucid moment, Sarek discloses that Spock has long harbored hopes of peacefully reuniting the Vulcan and Romulan peoples, who once were part of the same civilization.
Upon finding Spock, Picard learns that the Vulcan is indeed on an unauthorized mission to reunify his people with the Romulans.
Starfleet Admiral Brackett informs Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) that Ambassador Spock (Leonard Nimoy) has gone missing and an intelligence scan has placed him on Romulus, raising fears that he may have defected.
Sarek gives Picard the name of Pardek, a Romulan Senator that he knew Spock had been maintaining a dialogue with for several decades.
Lieutenant Commander Data (Brent Spiner) discovers a visual record of Pardek from a trade conference and confirms him as being the figure seen on the intelligence scan of Spock on Romulus.
Picard calls in a favor from Chancellor Gowron (Robert O'Reilly), speaking to one of his aides and convincing him to lend them a Klingon ship that could take them to Romulus while cloaked.
On Romulus, Picard and Data (surgically disguised as Romulans) locate the spot where the record of Pardek and Spock was taken, which Data determines is an intelligence bureau building.
They wait until Pardek arrives, but when they approach him, they find themselves met by soldiers and taken to a cavern.
Pardek has asked Spock to come to Romulus to meet with the new Proconsul of the Romulan Senate, a young idealist who has promised reforms.
Picard expresses concern that the willingness of the Romulans may be part of a larger ploy; Spock agrees but points out that if a larger plot is at work, it is best they play out their roles within it to uncover it.
The stolen Vulcan ship and two others are carrying a Romulan invasion force, under the guise of escorting a peace envoy.
Spock refuses to deceive his people by announcing the false news, even after Sela threatens to kill him, and she locks the three in her office and leaves to order the ships on their way.
By the time she returns, Data has hacked into the Romulan computer system and created a holographic simulation that distracts her long enough for the three captives to incapacitate her and her officers.
A medical distress signal comes in - a distraction created by Sela - but as Riker orders the ship toward its source, they receive a broadcast from Romulus in which Spock reveals the true nature of the Vulcan ships.
Spock makes reference to the events of the movie when he asks Picard if he was aware of Spock's role in the first peace overtures to the Klingons.
Spock says that he forced Captain Kirk to accept the mission, and that he felt responsible for what happened to Kirk and his crew.
They praise actor-director Leonard Nimoy reprising the character Spock, and his scenes with Jean-Luc Picard as played by actor Sir Patrick Stewart.
The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) is a public university in Syracuse, New York.
It also operates facilities in the Adirondack Park (including the Ranger School in Wanakena), the Thousand Islands, elsewhere in central New York, and Costa Rica.
The New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University was established in 1911 through a bill signed by New York Governor John Alden Dix.
Syracuse native and constitutional lawyer Louis Marshall, with a summer residence at Knollwood Club on Saranac Lake and a prime mover for the establishment of the Adirondack and Catskill Forest Preserve (New York), became a Syracuse University Trustee in 1910.
He confided in Chancellor James R. Day his desire to have an agricultural and forestry school at the University, and by 1911 his efforts resulted in a New York State bill to fund the project: the aforementioned appropriation bill signed by Governor Dix.
Marshall was elected president of the college's board of trustees at its first meeting, in 1911; at the time of his death, eighteen years later, he was still president of the board.
The first dean of the college was William L. Bray, a Ph.D., graduate from the University of Chicago, botanist, plant ecologist, biogeographer and Professor of Botany at Syracuse University.
In 1907 he was made head of the botany department at Syracuse, and in 1908 he started teaching a forestry course in the basement of Lyman Hall.
Most of the professors in the early years of the College of Forestry at Syracuse and the Department of Forestry at Cornell's New York State College of Agriculture were educated in forestry at the Yale School of Forestry.
Research at the college commenced in 1912, with a study of New York state firms using lumber, including from which tree species and in what quantities.
The college began enrolling women as early as 1915, but the first women to complete their degrees—one majoring in landscape engineering and two in pulp and paper—graduated in the late 1940s.
The cornerstone of Louis Marshall Memorial Hall was laid in 1931 by former Governor and presidential candidate Alfred E. Smith who was elected to assume the presidency of the college's board of trustees.
With the formation of the State University of New York (SUNY) in 1948, the college became recognized as a specialized college within the SUNY system, and its name was changed to State University College of Forestry at Syracuse University.
In 1972, the college's name was changed yet again to State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
Unlike other state-supported degree-granting institutions which had been created at private institutions in New York State, the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University was an autonomous institution not administratively part of Syracuse University.
Other buildings on the Syracuse campus include one for maintenance and operations, a garage, and a greenhouse converted to office space.
The tree is said to have grown from an acorn brought back by a faculty member from the Sherwood Forest in England.
The campus, established in 1912, is situated on the east branch of the Oswegatchie River that flows into Cranberry Lake, in the northwestern part of the Adirondack Park.
ESF has academic departments in the fields of chemistry; environmental and forest biology; environmental resources engineering; environmental studies; forest and natural resources management; landscape architecture; and paper and bioprocess engineering.
2, ahead of top programs like Duke, Cornell and Yale, among the best college environmental programs in the nation by Treehugger.com, a website devoted to sustainability and environmental news.
Global issues such as responsible energy use and development of sustainable energy sources are critical focal points in the STEM major.
The first research report published in 1913 by the College of Forestry was the result of the above noted USDA Forest Service supported study of the wood-using industries of New York State.
Since that time, the research initiatives of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) have expanded greatly as both faculty and students conduct pioneering studies, many with a global reach.
A number of professional organizations are also open to student membership, including the Society of American Foresters, The Wildlife Society, Conservation Biology club, American Fisheries Association, and the (currently defunct) American Water Resources Association.
ESF students take courses at their sister institution, can apply for admission to concurrent degree and joint certificate programs, and may join any SU organization except for NCAA sports teams.
The building includes a state-of-the-art, combined heat-and-power (CHP) system, producing 65% of campus heating needs along with 20% of its electrical needs.
The CHP system uses biomass to drive a steam turbine and produce electricity, while natural gas is used for steam heating along with additional electricity.
Biomass is a renewable resource that draws light energy, carbon dioxide, and water from the environment; in return oxygen is released.
Benefits of woody willow include, high yields and fast growth times, quick re-sprouting, and high heat energy is produced when burned.
The men's soccer team was invited to the 2012 USCAA National Championship Tournament in Asheville, North Carolina, making it to the semifinals.
The team came in first in both the men's and women's divisions of the northeastern US and Canadian 2012 spring meet.
In addition to the intercollegiate USCAA and woodsman teams, ESF students participate on club sports teams at both ESF and Syracuse University, including ESF's competitive bass fishing team, and SU's quidditch team.
In one notable part of the College's history, Laurie D. Cox, professor of Landscape Architecture, was responsible for establishing Syracuse University's renowned lacrosse program in 1916, including players from the New York State College of Forestry.
ESF was founded in 1911 as the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University, under the leadership of Syracuse University Trustee Louis Marshall, with the active support of Syracuse University Chancellor Day.
Its founding followed several years after the cessation of state funding to the earlier New York State College of Forestry at Cornell.
The two schools share a common Schedule of Classes; students may take courses at both institutions, and baccalaureate diplomas from ESF bear the Syracuse University seal along with that of the State University of New York.
ESF receives an annual appropriation as part of the SUNY budget and the state builds and maintains all of the college's educational facilities.
The state has somewhat similar financial and working relationships with five statutory colleges that are at Alfred University and Cornell University, although unlike ESF, these statutory institutions are legally and technically part of their respective host institutions and are administered by them as well.
ESF faculty, students, and students' families join those from Syracuse University (SU) in a joint convocation ceremony at the beginning of the academic year in August and combined commencement exercises in May.
ESF and SU students share access to library resources, recreational facilities, student clubs, and activities at both institutions, except for the schools' intercollegiate athletics teams, affiliated with the USCAA and NCAA, respectively.
The tradition, which dates back to at least the early 1960s, is intended to inhibit tracks from being worn into the lawn.
From soon after its founding, ESF affiliated individuals have been responsible for establishing and leading prominent scientific and advocacy organizations around the world focused on the environment.
Raphael Sobiehrd-Mnishovsky of Sebuzin and of Horstein (1580 – 21 November 1644) was a Bohemian lawyer and writer, who held various secretarial, diplomatic, and judicial posts under Rudolf II, Mathias, Ferdinand II, and Ferdinand III, under whom Raphael was the attorney-general.
According to a 1666 letter which was stored with the manuscript, Raphael had told the letter's writer, Marcus Marci, that the manuscript had originally belonged to Rudolf, who had purchased it for 600 gold ducats.
The expression was coined in the 19th century by Russian literary critic Vissarion Belinsky to describe writers who lacked Russian national character.
After World War II, the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee (JAC) grew increasingly influential to the post-Holocaust Soviet Jewry, and was accepted as its representative in the West.
Recently, a dangerous tendency seems to be seen in some of the literary works emanating under the pernicious influence of the West and brought about by the subversive activities of the foreign intelligence.
Frequently in the pages of Soviet literary journals works are found where Soviet people, builders of communism are shown in pathetic and ludicrous forms.
The positive Soviet hero is derided and inferior before all things foreign and cosmopolitanism that we all fought against from the time of Lenin, characteristic of the political leftovers, is many times applauded.
In 1946 and 1947, the new campaign against cosmopolitanism affected Soviet scientists, such as the physicist Pyotr Kapitsa and the president of the Belorussian Academy of Sciences .
In January 1948, the JAC's head, the popular actor and world-famous public figure Solomon Mikhoels, was killed by on the Politburo's orders; his murder was framed as a car accident where a truck ran over him as he was taking a walk on a narrow road.
The USSR voted for the 1947 United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine and in May 1948, it recognized the establishment of the state of Israel there, subsequently supporting it with weapons (via Czechoslovakia, in defiance of the embargo) in the 1948 Arab–Israeli war.
Many Soviet Jews felt inspired and sympathetic towards Israel and sent thousands of letters to the (still formally existing) JAC with offers to contribute to or even volunteer for Israel's defence.
Huge enthusiastic crowds (estimated 50,000) gathered along her path and in and around Moscow synagogue when she attended it for Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah.
These events corresponded in time with a visible upsurge of Russian nationalism orchestrated by official propaganda, the increasingly hostile Cold War and the realization by the Soviet leadership that Israel had chosen the Western option.
Domestically, Soviet Jews were being considered a security liability for their international connections, especially to the United States, and growing national awareness.
With the United States becoming the opponent of the Soviet Union by the end of 1948, the USSR switched sides in the Arab–Israeli conflict and began supporting the Arabs against Israel, first politically and later also militarily.
For his part David Ben-Gurion declared support for the United States in the Korean War, despite opposition from left-wing Israeli parties.
From 1950 on, Israeli–Soviet relations were an inextricable part of the Cold War—with ominous implications for Soviet Jews supporting Israel, or perceived as supporting it.
The campaign included a crusade in the state-controlled mass media to expose literary pseudonyms of Jewish writers by putting their real names in parentheses in order to reveal to the public that they were ethnic Jews.
Thirteen Soviet Jewish poets and writers, five of them members of Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, were executed in the Lubyanka Prison in Moscow on August 12, 1952.
As a result of the campaign, many Soviet Jews were fired from their jobs and Jews were unofficially banned from taking certain jobs.
For example, in 1947, Jews constituted 18 per cent of Soviet scientific workers, but by 1970 this number declined to 7 per cent, which was still higher than about 3 to 4 per cent of the total Soviet population at that time they comprised.
An example is a stockbroker who buys and sells securities in a portfolio more frequently than is necessary, in order to generate commission fees.
In this strategy, an investor is advised to repeatedly buy or sell small lots of a security as the price changes.
In this way the overall cost is averaged down as prices fall, and the investor is protected from market fluctuations which can be very difficult to accurately predict.
The effectiveness of this as an investing strategy is open to debate, but it involves many transactions, creating brokerage commissions for the brokerage firm.
Customers choose the bigger size even if it is more than they would like to eat or drink because it seems like a better deal.
Textbook publishers are often accused of product churning for their practice of frequently publishing new editions of their texts (thus rendering previous editions obsolete, forcing students to purchase the new editions as required texts and minimizing or eliminating the prices paid for the old editions by bookstore buyback programs), often while making insignificant changes to the information presented in the text.
This involves selling a basic product at a loss (or low profit margin), but receiving very high profit margins on associated products that are necessary for the basic product's continued usage.
Examples of this strategy include razors (and their blades), computer printers (and their ink cartridge refills), cell phones (and their usage time), and cameras (and film).
It was formed 25 to 10 million years ago from a huge volcanic pile which formed two domes - one centred around Carnley Harbour in the south and another (the Ross Dome) around Disappointment Island to the west.
Prominent peaks include Cavern Peak, at ; Mount Raynal, at ; Mount D'Urville, at ; Mount Easton, at ; and the Tower of Babel, at .
At the western side a very narrow channel known as Victoria Passage separates the main island from the smaller Adams Island.. Adams Island and the southern part of the main island form the crater rim north of Carnley Harbour's mouth lies Cape Lovitt, the westernmost point of New Zealand.
Up to 400 may be found in the harbour during the winter months, and are regularly surveyed by the University of Otago.
The island is part of the Auckland Island group Important Bird Area (IBA), identified as such by BirdLife International because of the significance of the group as a breeding site for several species of seabirds.
Of these only shags are currently breeding on main Auckland Island, in areas where introduced cats and pigs cannot access their nests.
A project proposed by the Department of Conservation aims to remove these pests from the island, with feasibility trials started in 2018.
Goats were introduced to the Auckland Islands several times in the second half of the nineteenth century, to serve as a source of food for castaway sailors, with at least one liberation in 1865 on the main Auckland Island.
By the 1970s, only one population remained, a group of about 100 based on the northwest side of Port Ross, in the north-east of the main island.
An investigation in 1999 into the fate of the translocated animals in New Zealand found that the breed had become extinct.
Auckland Island pigs are a feral race of domestic pigs which are considered a distinct breed by the Rare Breeds Conservation Society of New Zealand.
Pigs have had a severe impact on populations of megaherbs, with populations of these plants on Auckland Island being almost totally depleted by the early 1900s.
Dunnocks, common redpolls, Eurasian blackbirds, song thrushes and common starlings which were introduced onto mainland New Zealand have naturally established on Auckland Island.
Auckland Island was the site of the failed settlement of Hardwicke, which was founded in 1849 but survived only three years before being disbanded in 1852.
Both the and the were wrecked on Auckland Island in 1864, and groups of survivors lived unaware of each other on opposite ends of the island.
Two stations were constructed: One at Ranui Cove in outer Port Ross and another at Tagua, on Musgrave Peninsula in Carnley Harbour.
The Fairey Albacore was a British single-engine carrier-borne biplane torpedo bomber built by Fairey Aviation between 1939 and 1943 for the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm and used during the Second World War.
It had a crew of three and was designed for spotting and reconnaissance as well as level, dive, and torpedo bombing.
However, the Albacore served alongside the Swordfish and was retired before it, being replaced from 1944 by two monoplane designs, the Fairey Barracuda and Grumman Avenger.
The Albacore prototypes were built to meet Specification S.41/36 for a three-seat TSR (torpedo/spotter/reconnaissance) for the FAA to replace the Swordfish.
It offered the crew an enclosed and heated cockpit and had an automatic liferaft ejection system that triggered in the event of the aircraft ditching.
The first of two prototypes flew on 12 December 1938 and production of the first batch of 98 aircraft began in 1939.
Boscombe Down testing of the Albacore and Taurus II engine, in February 1940, showed a maximum speed of 160 mph (258 km/h), at an altitude of 4,800 ft (1,463 m), at 11,570 lb (5,259 kg), which was achieved with four under-wing depth charges, while maximum speed without the depth charges was 172 mph (277 km/h).
A total of 800 Albacores were built, including two prototypes which were all built at Fairey's Hayes Factory and test flown at what is now London Heathrow Airport.
826 Naval Air Squadron was specially formed to operate the first Albacores in March 1940, being used for attacks against harbours and shipping in the English Channel, operating from shore bases and for convoy escort for the rest of 1940. s 826 and 829 Squadrons were the first to operate the Albacore from a carrier, with operations starting in November 1940.
Initially, the Albacore suffered from reliability problems with the Taurus engine, although these were later solved, so that the failure rate was no worse than the Pegasus equipped Swordfish.
The Albacore remained less popular than the Swordfish, as it was less manoeuvrable, with the controls being too heavy for a pilot to take much evasive action after dropping a torpedo.
Albacores participated with more success in the Battle of Cape Matapan and the fighting at El Alamein as well as supporting the landings at Sicily and Salerno.
828 Squadron, based at RAF Hal Far, Malta, operated a squadron of Albacores under severe blitz conditions during the siege of Malta, mainly against Italian shipping and shore targets in Sicily.
Based on information from one of six radar equipped aircraft already airborne, Albacores from 817 and 832 Squadrons launched torpedoes and some also attacked with their machine guns.
841 Squadron, which had been used for shore based attacks against shipping in the Channel for the whole of its career with the Albacore, disbanded in late 1943.
415 Squadron RCAF was equipped with Albacores (presumably ex-FAA) before the Flight operating them was transferred and reformed as 119 Squadron at RAF Manston in July 1944.
The squadron deployed later to Belgium and their Albacores were disposed of in early 1945, due to spares shortages, in favour of the inferior but ASV radar-equipped Swordfish Mk.IIIs that the squadron kept until the end of the war on 8 May.
The Royal Canadian Air Force took over the Albacores and used them during the Normandy invasion, for a similar role until July 1944.
Only one Albacore is known to survive, on display at the Fleet Air Arm Museum, which was built using parts of Albacores N4389 and N4172 recovered from crash sites.
He initially worked as kitchen helper at the Jesuit school at Krumlov, but was eventually admitted to the Krumlov Seminary of poor students in 1590.
There he also worked in the college's pharmacy, on topics involving chemistry and herbalism, under the overseeing of Martin Schaffner (1564–1608).
By 1598, he started studying Aristotelian philosophy at the Clementinum college in Prague (which was later merged with Charles University), and at the same time oversaw the kitchen and pantry, but continued working in chemistry and pharmacy.
However, Sinapius was not satisfied with the teachings there, learning Barbara and Celare, instead of physics and the origins of nature.
Here he grew herbs and set up a laboratory at Smíchov (then a village behind Prague walls), the Clementinum's botanical garden.
Subsequently, was exchanged by another prisoner (famous physician Jessenius) and exiled, but later, after defeating of the Bohemian Revolt, he returned to Mělník and lived there the rest of his life.
Two days before his death he was moved to the Clementinum at the care of the Jesuits, and left them the sum of 50,000 gold coins and his Mělník estate.
Voynich saw the faint writing later revealed as Jacobus Sinapius (Jacobus Hořčický de Tepenec), Voynich subsequently used many chemicals to make it clearer but failed.
Its attested provenance begins with him, since the story that it was owned by Emperor Rudolf II rests on a single piece of unsubstantiated hearsay, related at second hand in a letter to Athanasius Kircher.
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is an astronomical interferometer of 66 radio telescopes in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile, which observe electromagnetic radiation at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths.
The array has been constructed on the elevation Chajnantor plateau - near the Llano de Chajnantor Observatory and the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment.
This location was chosen for its high elevation and low humidity, factors which are crucial to reduce noise and decrease signal attenuation due to Earth's atmosphere.
ALMA is expected to provide insight on star birth during the early Stelliferous era and detailed imaging of local star and planet formation.
ALMA began scientific observations in the second half of 2011 and the first images were released to the press on 3 October 2011.
The initial ALMA array is composed of 66 high-precision antennas, and operates at wavelengths of 8.6 to 0.32 millimeters (31 to 1000 GHz).
The participating East Asian countries are contributing 16 antennas (four 12-meter diameter and twelve 7-meter diameter antennas) in the form of the Atacama Compact Array (ACA), which is part of the enhanced ALMA.
By using smaller antennas than the main ALMA array, larger fields of view can be imaged at a given frequency using ACA.
ALMA has its conceptual roots in three astronomical projects — the Millimeter Array (MMA) of the United States, the Large Southern Array (LSA) of Europe, and the Large Millimeter Array (LMA) of Japan.
The first step toward the creation of what would become ALMA came in 1997, when the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and the European Southern Observatory (ESO) agreed to pursue a common project that merged the MMA and LSA.
ESO and NRAO worked together in technical, science, and management groups to define and organize a joint project between the two observatories with participation by Canada and Spain (the latter became a member of ESO later).
Following mutual discussions over several years, the ALMA Project received a proposal from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) whereby Japan would provide the ACA (Atacama Compact Array) and three additional receiver bands for the large array, to form Enhanced ALMA.
Further discussions between ALMA and NAOJ led to the signing of a high-level agreement on 14 September 2004 that makes Japan an official participant in Enhanced ALMA, to be known as the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array.
During an early stage of the planning of ALMA, it was decided to employ ALMA antennas designed and constructed by known companies in North America, Europe, and Japan, rather than using one single design.
Although very different approaches have been chosen by the providers, each of the antenna designs appears to be able to meet ALMA's stringent requirements.
The components designed and manufactured across Europe were transported by specialist aerospace and astrospace logistics company Route To Space Alliance, 26 in total which were delivered to Antwerp for onward shipment to Chile.
ALMA was initially a 50-50 collaboration between the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and European Southern Observatory (ESO) and later extended with the help of the other Japanese, Taiwanese, and Chilean partners.
General Dynamics C4 Systems and its SATCOM Technologies division was contracted by Associated Universities, Inc. to provide twenty-five of the 12 m antennas, while European manufacturer Thales Alenia Space provided the other twenty-five principal antennas (in the largest-ever European industrial contract in ground-based astronomy).
The vehicles were made by in Germany and are 10 m wide, 20 m long and 6 m high, weighing 130 tonnes.
The transporters, which feature a driver's seat designed to accommodate an oxygen tank to aid breathing the thin high-altitude air, place the antennas precisely on the pads.
On 7 July 2008, an ALMA transporter moved an antenna for the first time, from inside the antenna assembly building (Site Erection Facility) to a pad outside the building for testing (holographic surface measurements).
At the end of 2009, a team of ALMA astronomers and engineers successfully linked three antennas at the elevation observing site thus finishing the first stage of assembly and integration of the fledgling array.
Linking three antennas allows corrections of errors that can arise when only two antennas are used, thus paving the way for precise, high-resolution imaging.
On 28 July 2011, the first European antenna for ALMA arrived at the Chajnantor plateau, 5,000 meters above sea level, to join 15 antennas already in place from the other international partners.
This was the number of antennas specified for ALMA to begin its first science observations, and was therefore an important milestone for the project.
By the summer of 2011, sufficient telescopes were operational during the extensive program of testing prior to the Early Science phase for the first images to be captured.
These early images give a first glimpse of the potential of the new array that will produce much better quality images in the future as the scale of the array continues to increase.
Although ALMA did not observe the entire galaxy merger, the result is the best submillimeter-wavelength image ever made of the Antennae Galaxies, showing the clouds of dense cold gas from which new stars form, which cannot be seen using visible light.
On 11 August 2014, astronomers released studies, using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) for the first time, that detailed the distribution of HCN, HNC, HCO, and dust inside the comae of comets C/2012 F6 (Lemmon) and C/2012 S1 (ISON).
An image of the protoplanetary disk surrounding HL Tauri (a very young T Tauri star in the constellation Taurus) was made public in 2014, showing a series of concentric bright rings separated by gaps, indicating protoplanet formation.
, most theories did not expect planetary formation in such a young (100,000-1,000,000-year-old) system, so the new data spurred renewed theories of protoplanetary development.
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international astronomy facility, is a partnership of Europe, North America and East Asia in cooperation with the Republic of Chile.
ALMA is funded in Europe by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), in North America by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) in cooperation with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and the National Science Council of Taiwan (NSC) and in East Asia by the National Institutes of Natural Sciences of Japan (NINS) in cooperation with the Academia Sinica (AS) in Taiwan.
ALMA construction and operations are led on behalf of Europe by ESO, on behalf of North America by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), which is managed by Associated Universities, Inc (AUI) and on behalf of East Asia by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ).
The ALMA regional centre (ARC) has been designed as an interface between user communities of the major contributors of the ALMA project and the JAO.
The European ARC (led by ESO) has been further subdivided into ARC-nodes located across Europe in Bonn-Bochum-Cologne, Bologna, Ondřejov, Onsala, IRAM (Grenoble), Leiden and JBCA (Manchester).
The core purpose of the ARC is to assist the user community with the preparation of observing proposals, ensure observing programs meet their scientific goals efficiently, run a help-desk for submitting proposals and observing programs, delivering the data to principal investigators, maintenance of the ALMA data archive, assistance with the calibration of data and providing user feedback.
The Atacama Compact Array, ACA, is a subset of 16 closely separated antennas that will greatly improve ALMA's ability to study celestial objects with a large angular size, such as molecular clouds and nearby galaxies.
In 2013, the Atacama Compact Array was named the Morita Array after Professor Koh-ichiro Morita, a member of the Japanese ALMA team and designer of the ACA, who died on 7 May 2012 in Santiago.
Jan Marek Marci FRS, (June 13, 1595, (, ), Royal Bohemia, Bohemian Crownland, AustriaApril 10, 1667, Prague, R.Bohemia, Bohemian Crownland, Austria), or Johannes () Marcus Marci, was a Bohemian doctor and scientist, rector of the University of Prague, and official physician to the Holy Roman Emperors.
He studied under Athanasius Kircher, and spent most of his career as a professor of Charles University in Prague, where he served eight times as Dean of the medical school and once as Rector in 1662.
He was also the personal doctor of Emperors Ferdinand III and Leopold I, and distinguished himself in the defense of Prague against the Swedish armies in 1648.
Prior to Marci, the prevailing theory of color assumed that light was modified by the action of a medium to produce color.
Although he thought that different colors were caused by varying angles of incidence across the 1/2 degree apparent diameter of the sun, he stated that each color was condensed or disentangled from the others after refraction into homogeneous or elementary colors of red, green, blue and purple, and that no further change in color was obtained by additional refraction of elementary colors.
Marci at some time came into possession of the Voynich Manuscript, apparently upon the death of its former owner, the alchemist Georg Baresch.
He sent the book to his longtime friend Athanasius Kircher, with a cover letter dated 19 August 1666, or possibly 1665.
What began as a junior college supported by local taxes developed into a major university as Southeastern has grown to meet the evolving needs of southeast Louisiana and the Florida parishes.
Operated under the auspices of the Tangipahoa Parish School Board, Sims opened the doors on September 13, 1925, with a faculty of three women and two men and 40 students.
In 1928, Hammond Junior College became Southeastern Louisiana College, formally adopted into the state educational system under the control of the State Board of Education.
In 1937, the State Board of Education authorized curricula for four-year programs in liberal arts, teacher education, business administration, music, social sciences, and physical education.
Voter approval of Act 388 in 1938, an amendment to the 1920 Louisiana Constitution, granted Southeastern Louisiana College the same legal status as other four-year colleges.
The amendment did not, however, require the state to fund Southeastern at the level of other institutions of higher education, despite strong local support.
On January 18, 1946, the State Board made available funds to purchase seven city blocks east and west of the campus, and of land north and northwest of the campus, increasing Southeastern's total area to approximately .
On March 3, 1946, Southeastern was formally approved and accepted into full membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), as a four-year degree-granting institution.
After World War II, returning G.I.s caused exponential growth of the college, necessitating construction of classrooms, a student union, a cafeteria, a health center, dormitories, apartments for married students, and many surplus temporary buildings donated by the federal government.
In 1948, the U.S. Navy contributed two steel barracks for use as dormitories including McNeely Hall (which was demolished in 2007).
The War Memorial Student Union, constructed in the mid-1960s, is the only student union building in the United States dedicated to alumni who died in World War II.
Governor John McKeithen on June 16, 1970, signed into law the legislative act turning Southeastern Louisiana College into Southeastern Louisiana University.
An 8000-seat (more if the floor level is used) arena, the University Center hosts all home basketball games and a variety of civic, cultural, and big-name entertainment events.
Since then, Fanfare has become an acclaimed month-long event, drawing nationally and internationally recognized artists and providing recognition for those closer to home.
In addition to providing entertainment for Lake Pontchartrain's Northshore Area, Fanfare has an educational-outreach program that works closely with local schools.
Southeastern's enrollment, continually increasing since its inception, reached an important milestone in 1997, registering over 15 thousand students for the fall semester.
Pervasive professional accreditations, such as accreditation of the College of Business by AACSB, and excellent egress from/to I-55 and I-12 figure significantly in the increase.
As Southeastern celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2000, the fall semester marked an exciting change as Southeastern implemented screened admissions standards for the first time.
Also during the 2000–2001 academic year, the Village, Fayard Hall, and the Claude B. Pennington, Jr., Student Activity Center were completed.
In May 2001, Southeastern received full approval from the Board of Regents for its first new graduate degree program in more than a decade, an MS in Integrated Science and Technology.
Since then, Southeastern received approval for seven additional programs: MA in Organizational Communications, MS in Applied Sociology, BS in Athletic Training, BS in Health Education & Promotion, BS in Health Studies, BS in Occupational Health, Safety & Environment, and Master of Arts in Teaching.
In the fall of 2004, Southeastern began implementing portions of the Board of Regents Master Plan admissions criteria, a full year ahead of schedule and before any other schools in the state.
In the same semester Southeastern, which was virtually undamaged by Hurricane Katrina, absorbed some two thousand students whom the storm had displaced from institutions in New Orleans.
North of the War Memorial Student Union is a large fountain constructed and dedicated in 2007 to the victims of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita; it is the only such memorial fountain in existence.
Another Southeastern alumnus was the late State Representative Donald Ray Kennard, who began representing parts of East Baton Rouge and Livingston parishes starting in 1976.
Southeastern offers has its University Center for commencement exercises of high schools throughout the Northshore Region and actively encouraging area high school students to continue on to the university level.
First opened in 1928, the Columbia was acquired by the university in the 1990s and renovated in the amount of $5.6 million.
The large foyer is dedicated to the late State Senator John Hainkel, who was instrumental in obtaining the funding for the renovation.
Southeastern Louisiana University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) to award degrees at the Associate, Baccalaureate and Master's levels.
Southeastern's state-of-the-art library houses several important collections, including the Morrison Room, the Rayburn Collection, the Pineywoods People Exhibits, and the Center for Regional Studies.
In the aftermath of Tulane University's post-Katrina decision to close several engineering programs including computer engineering, Southeastern received approval from the Louisiana Board of Regents to develop an undergraduate curriculum in engineering technology within the Department of Computer Science & Industrial Technology.
Southeastern's KSLU-FM radio station began operation on November 11, 1974, as a radio club at the university, operating at 10 watts of power.
Initially the station was on the air a few hours a day during the week; the transmitter was turned off during weekends and holidays.
Thanks to support from the Student Government Association and self-assessed fees of the student body, in 1983 the station qualified for membership in the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Since that time the station has grown to 3,000 watts, the maximum allowed because of the crowded 88–92 MHz band and the university's proximity to Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
In 1993, an emergency-situation room was added using amateur radio equipment purchased with grants from State Farm Insurance and Louisiana Power & Light (a subsidiary of Entergy).
During critical times, this room is staffed by local ham operators, members of the Amateur Radio Emergency Service in the Florida Parishes area.
In the past, the station produced several political forums which were fed to all public radio stations in Louisiana and to commercial stations via the Louisiana News Network.
The year 1996 brought another phase as KSLU began broadcasting globally via the internet, enabling families of international and out-of-state students to hear live university events.
Alumni of the public-access TV channel include Randi Rousseau, Christopher Guagliardo, Chris Lecoq, Matt Milton, Nick Brilleaux, Robbie Rhodes, Travis Connelley, Tim Tregle, Tim Tully, John Reis, Allen Waddell, Whitney Magee, and Chris Coleman.
It appears to be derived from a belief that the dried plants repelled fleas or that the plants were poisonous to fleas.
During World War II the German theologian and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer expressed the concept in similar terms in letters he wrote while in a Nazi prison.
Coulson was a mathematics professor at Oxford University as well as a Methodist church leader, often appearing in the religious programs of British Broadcasting Corporation.
Bube also maintained that the God-of-the-gaps was not the same as the God of the Bible (that is, he was not making an argument against God per se, but rather asserting there was a fundamental problem with the perception of God as existing in the gaps of present-day knowledge).
It is erroneous if it is taken to mean that God is not immanent in natural law but is only to be observed in mysteries unexplained by law.
It is true, however, if it be taken to emphasize that God is not only immanent in natural law but also is active in the numerous phenomena associated with the supernatural and the spiritual.
God-of-the-gaps arguments have been discouraged by some theologians who assert that such arguments tend to relegate God to the leftovers of science: as scientific knowledge increases, the dominion of God decreases.
It has also been argued that the God-of-the-gaps view is predicated on the assumption that any event which can be explained by science automatically excludes God; that if God did not do something via direct action, that he had no role in it at all.
It is theologically more satisfactory to look for evidence of God's actions within natural processes rather than apart from them, in much the same way that the meaning of a book transcends, but is not independent of, the paper and ink of which it is comprised.
Both many theologians and scientists believe that it is a logical fallacy to base belief in God on gaps in scientific knowledge.
Other scientists holding religious beliefs, such as Francis Collins, reject a God-of-the-gaps while embracing the idea of a God who fine tuned the universe precisely so human life could exist.
The Hawaii State Legislature—composed of the twenty-five member Hawaii State Senate led by the President of the Senate and the fifty-one member Hawaii State House of Representatives led by the Speaker of the House—convenes in the building.
Its principal tenants are the Governor of Hawaii and Lieutenant Governor of Hawaii, as well as all legislative offices and the Legislative Reference Bureau.
Burns designed the restoration of the royal palace built by King David Kalākaua and Queen Kapiolani; as part of that effort, the Queen Liliuokalani Statue in the Capitol Mall between the capitol building and Iolani Palace was dedicated on April 10, 1982.
The Beretania Street entrance features the Liberty Bell, a gift of the President of the United States and the United States Congress to the Territory of Hawaii in 1950 as a symbol of freedom and democracy.
One of the more prominent monuments on the statehouse grounds is the Father Damien Statue—a tribute to the Roman Catholic priest who died in 1869 after sixteen years of serving patients afflicted with leprosy.
Father Damien was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1995, and canonized on October 11, 2009, by Pope Benedict XVI.
The Eternal Flame on Beretania Street is a metal sculptured torch that burns endlessly as a tribute to all men and women from Hawaii who served with the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, and Navy in the major and minor conflicts in which the United States was engaged.
Dedicated on July 24, 1994 by Benjamin J. Cayetano, fifth Governor of Hawaii, the monument consists of 768 black marble pedestals engraved with the names of and 312 service members of the Vietnam War.
It was designed by a partnership between the firms of Belt, Lemon and Lo (Architects Hawaii Ltd.), and John Carl Warnecke and Associates.
Unlike other state capitols modeled after the United States Capitol, the Hawaii State Capitol's distinct architectural features symbolize various natural aspects of Hawaii.
From the time the Capitol was completed in 1969, the reflecting pool has had a persistent algae growth problem, due partly to the fact the pool is fed with brackish water from on-site wells.
Attempts by the state to fix the problem included introducing tilapia fish into the pool and installing an ozone treatment system.
Some Capitol regulars say the algae growth has come to represent the pollution of the Pacific Ocean, in an ironic twist of the original symbolic meaning of the pool.
This page lists all dukedoms, extant, extinct, dormant, abeyant, or forfeit, in the peerages of England, Scotland, Great Britain, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
Two weeks after the Prince's death the dukedom was recreated for his 9-year-old son Richard of Bordeaux, who would eventually succeed his grandfather as Richard II.
The second dukedom was originally given to Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster, but upon his death was re-created for the 3rd son of Edward III, John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster.
On that same day Edward III also created a dukedom for his second son, Lionel of Antwerp, 1st Duke of Clarence.
When Richard II reached majority, he created dukedoms for his last two uncles on the same day: Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York, and Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester.
By the end of the Middle Ages, traditionally marked by the Battle of Bosworth Field on 22 August 1485, a total of 31 dukedoms (with 16 distinct titles) had been created; yet only those of Cornwall, Lancaster and Suffolk remained.
Elizabeth did not create any dukes, and she beheaded Thomas Howard at the age of 36 for plotting to wed Mary, Queen of Scots and overthrow her.
By 1572, this class of peerage was extinct, and there were no dukes in the last 30 years of her reign.
The extant dukedoms in the Peerage of England were all created (or restored, in the cases of Norfolk and Somerset) in the Stuart period, beginning with James I's re-creation of the dukedom of Buckingham in 1623 for George Villiers.
With the possible exception of the Duchy of Cornwall and the Duchy of Lancaster (which come with great territories attached), all ducal titles in England have been created and held by royal patent or charter, and not by tenure.
As a result, the rules of succession to a ducal title are usually explicitly laid out in the patent, and are not necessarily consistent, nor do they coincide with common inheritance laws on property.
For instance, an heir does not usually inherit the ducal title by virtue of being the heir of the last holder, but by virtue of descent from the first person to whom the title was given, so a full-blood daughter of a duke may be superseded by a half-blood male relative who can prove direct descent from the first holder.
A character structure is a system of secondary traits that are manifested in the specific ways that an individual relates and reacts to others, to various kinds of stimuli, and to the environment.
A child whose nurture and/or education cause them to have conflict between legitimate feelings, living in an illogical environment and interacting with adults who do not take the long-term interests of the child to heart will be more likely to form these secondary traits.
Although this may serve the child well while in that dysfunctional environment, it may also cause the child to react in inappropriate ways, by developing alternate ways in which the energy compulsively surfaces, ways damaging to his or her own interests, when interacting with people in a completely independent environment.
However, character may also develop in a positive way according to how the individual meets the psychosocial challenges of the life cycle (Erikson).
Fromm notes that character structures develop in each individual to enable him or her to interact successfully within a given society and adapt to its mode of production and social norms (see social character), and may be very counter-productive when used in a different society.
It is Reich who really developed the concept from Ferenczi, and added to it an exploration of character structure as it applies to body structure and development as well as mental life.
The blocks result from trauma: the child learns to limit their awareness of strong feelings as their needs are thwarted by parents who meet cries for fulfillment with neglect or punishment.
The Pertuis d'Antioche owes its name to the similarity of the contour of its coastline to that of the Mediterranean sea's north-eastern area between Cyprus, Syria and Turkey, which has the famous ancient city of Antioch at its centre.
After his defeat at Waterloo, Napoleon tried to flee to the United States of America from the Pertuis d'Antioche, but eventually surrendered to the English navy, which was blockading the area; he was later sent into exile on the island of Saint Helena.
Even after the Allied invasion of France, La Rochelle remained a pocket of German resistance that surrendered only at the end of the war.
The Pertuis d'Antioche is bordered by a limestone coast dating back to the Cretaceous, at which time it was deep under water.
Although at the same latitude as Montreal in Canada and the Kuril islands in Russia, the area is quite warm throughout the year, due to the influence of the Gulf Stream waters, and the number of sunny days per year, which is remarkably high, on a par with the French Riviera on the Mediterranean coast of France.
With its warm, protected waters, the Pertuis d'Antioche has become one of the most active tourist and pleasure-boat centres in Europe, with the La Rochelle marina complex at its centre.
Charles James Fox Bennett (11 June 1793 in Shaftesbury, England – 5 December 1883) was a merchant and politician who successfully fought attempts to take Newfoundland into Canadian confederation.
Bennett was a successful businessman and one of the island's richest residents with interests in the fisheries, distillery and brewery industry and shipbuilding.
Bennett became involved in politics in the 1840s as a leader of the island's Anglican community and an opponent of responsible government, an argument he lost when an alliance of Catholics and non-Anglican Protestants persuaded the Colonial Office to grant Newfoundland self-government.
Bennett's party defeated Carter's Conservatives on the Confederation issue in the 1869 elections, allowing Bennett to form a government in 1870.
However, as Premier he was unable to keep his party united, and in 1874 resigned, allowing Carter to return to power.

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West is a 1970 book by American writer Dee Brown that covers the history of Native Americans in the American West in the late nineteenth century.
The book expresses details of the history of American expansionism from a point of view that is critical of its effects on the Native Americans.
The government's dealings are portrayed as a continuing effort to destroy the culture, religion, and way of life of Native American peoples.
Having grown up in Arkansas, he developed a keen interest in the American West, and during his graduate education at George Washington University and his career as a librarian for both the US Department of Agriculture and the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, he wrote numerous books on the subject.
Brown's works maintained a focus on the American West, but ranged anywhere from western fiction to histories to even children's books.
Published at a time of increasing American Indian activism, the book has never gone out of print and has been translated into 17 languages.
Although Benet's poem is not about the plight of Native Americans, Wounded Knee was the location of the last major confrontation between the US Army and Native Americans.
It is also the vicinity of where Crazy Horse's parents buried his heart and some of his bones after his murder in 1877.
In the first chapter, Brown presents a brief history of the discovery and settlement of America, from 1492 to the Indian turmoil that began in 1860.
He stresses the initially gentle and peaceable behavior of Indians toward Europeans, especially given their apparent lack of resistance to early colonial efforts at Europeanization.
In each of the following chapters, Brown provides an in-depth description of a significant post-1860 event in American Western expansion or Native American eradication, focusing in turn on the specific tribe or tribes involved in the event.
In his narrative, Brown primarily discusses such tribes as the Navajo Nation, Santee Dakota, Hunkpapa Lakota, Oglala Lakota, Cheyenne, and Apache people.
He touches more lightly upon the subjects of the Arapaho, Modoc, Kiowa, Comanche, Nez Perce, Ponca, Ute, and Minneconjou Lakota tribes.
Brown discusses the plights of Manuelito and the Navajo people in New Mexico, who make treaties and other efforts to maintain peace with Euro-Americans despite their encroachment upon Navajo land, stealing livestock and burning entire villages as punishment for perceived misbehavior.
The second, third and fourth generation European immigrants occupy land in Navajo country not only to build their own forts, the first of which was Fort Defiance, but also claim rights to the surrounding prized Navajo lands as pasture for their livestock.
Various disputes occur between the Navajo and the Euro-Americans, culminating in a horse race between Manuelito and a US Army lieutenant who wins as a result of dishonesty and trickery.
The US Army General James Carleton orders the Navajos to relocate to a reservation at Bosque Redondo, where the Apaches had recently been moved, but is met with resistance.
Employing a scorched-earth campaign, Kit Carson and Carleton force a large majority of resistant Navajos and Apaches to surrender and flee to the reservation.
Following a poor harvest and lack of promised support from the US government in the early 1860s, members of the tribe became angry at white people.
After the murder of several white men and women by young Dakota, the frustrated Santee tribe, led by Chief Little Crow, attacked Fort Ridgely and a nearby town.
When the Santees refuse to surrender their white hostages to Colonel Sibley, they are forced into battle again at Yellow Medicine River.
Santee chiefs, including Chief Little Crow, were killed during the following six months, and the remaining Santees are removed to a Missouri River and Crow Creek reservation.
This and other skirmishes result in heated conflict between the US Army and the Oglala Lakotas led by Chiefs Red Cloud and Roman Nose, forcing the US Army to retreat for the winter.
The high death toll among US troops fostered great confidence in the Native Americans who began a journey to the Black Hills.
By the US Army's request, the Sioux chiefs and approximately 2000 other warriors arrived at Fort Laramie in May 1866 for treaty talks.
As construction progresses, the Sioux plan an attack on the white men and harass white traffic through the Powder River country.
Red Cloud unknowingly leads approximately 3,000 Lakota into an ambush, later called the Fetterman Massacre, at Peno Creek where 81 white men and 200 Lakotas are killed.
Conflict continues between the US Army and the Lakota for years despite peace commissioners being sent to Powder River to address differences.
In 1869 Red Cloud is invited to Washington D.C. to speak with Donehogawa, a member of the Iroquois tribe who is serving as the Commissioner of Indian Affairs in the US government.
Chief Red Cloud and his tribe members express their discontent with the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie which defined their reservation land as bordered by the Missouri River rather than the Powder River.
In 1874, when rumors of gold in the Black Hills were delivered by Custer and his men to the white settlers on the plains, miners and panhandlers flooded the Black Hills, angering the Lakota and Dakota living there.
A peace council in 1875 tried to arrange for the US government to either purchase the mineral rights or outright ownership of the Black Hills, but both proposals were rejected by the Sioux.
In 1876, a series of battles occur between the Sioux and US troops which initially ends when the Sioux defeat General Custer and his troops at the Battle of Little Bighorn on June 25.
The humiliated US Army sends a peace council to sign a treaty that forces the Sioux out of the Black Hills to the Missouri River.
Following the removal of the Lakota from the Black Hills to the Missouri River Reservation, Sitting Bull, in exile in Canada and participating in unsuccessful peace talks, returns to American soil and surrenders at Fort Buford.
Sitting Bull is later arrested in an attempt by US authorities to suppress Sitting Bull's endorsement of the Ghost Dance which they considered a religious disturbance.
Deciding against further resistance, the tribes join Red Cloud at Pine Ridge where they encounter Major Whitside in late December 1890.
The tribes are subsequently directed to Wounded Knee, where a member of the Minneconjou tribe called Black Coyote refuses to surrender his rifle.
The Lakota that survived the assault fled to Pine Ridge, and returned to Wounded Knee the next day only to bury their families and comrades.
The 1858 Pikes Peak gold rush in Colorado creates a swarm of white settlers onto Cheyenne and Arapaho lands and instigates treaty talks that result in removal of Cheyenne and Arapaho territory to any area between Sand Creek and the Arkansas River.
In early 1866, the Southern Cheyenne Dog Soldiers are asked to sign the treaty that would relocate them to the south with Black Kettle and his tribe.
In the following year a peace council is held between the General Hancock's army and the Cheyenne which ends when Hancock's army burns the Cheyenne camp to force their cooperation.
After a series of retaliatory assaults, a treaty is signed by the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Kiowa, and Comanche tribes which relocates them to the reservation south of Arkansas River.
After the surrender and removal, the Northern Cheyenne tribe led by Little Wolf and Dull Knife are unable to sustain themselves on the poor land at Fort Reno, and they form a hunting party to hunt buffalo north of their reservation.
Their hunt was unsuccessful, and the tribe continues to suffer severe losses due to health problems from malnutrition and a measles epidemic.
Chiefs Little Wolf and Dull Knife decide to move north but this leads to more violent encounters with the US Army.
Dull Knife and his tribe try to join Red Cloud, and they defy orders to return to their southern, buffalo-depleted reservation.
The friendly relations between the Apaches and Euro-Americans, that were once signified by the Apaches allowing white travelers to pass through their land unmolested, began to diminish when Apache Chief Cochise was imprisoned for allegedly stealing cattle and kidnapping a white boy from a settler's farm.
When Cochise escaped, he and his warriors killed three white men, and the army responded by hanging male members of Cochise's family.
In 1865, after Cochise refuses a treaty designed to relocate his Chiricahua tribe to a reservation, the Apaches successfully avoid contact with white men for a number of years.
But in 1871, a group of settlers, Mexicans, and warriors from competing tribes massacre an Apache village, and Cochise and his followers retreat into the mountains.
Negotiations with Geronimo and the guerillas continue over the next few years as alleged stories of the guerillas’ brutalities and atrocities circulate.
In 1886, Geronimo flees once again before being incarcerated and transported to a reservation in Florida with the remaining Chiricahua Apaches.
As larger numbers of settlers trespass onto Modoc land and small disputes arise between the Modocs and white settlers, the US government coerces a treaty, over Captain Jack's reluctance, that will relocate the Modocs to a reservation in Oregon and shared with the Klamaths.
Their return is halted by a skirmish between the tribe and an army battalion in 1872, and the Modocs divert to the California lava beds.
Another group of Modocs, led by Hooker Jim, murdered 12 white settlers and forced Captain Jack to lead his tribe into a battle against the US Army.
A peace commission led by General Canby, conducts peace talks with Captain Jack who eventually, under pressure from Hooker Jim's Modocs, agrees to kill Canby should the original Modoc land not be returned to the tribe.
After the Battle of Washita in 1868, General Sheridan ordered all tribes involved to surrender at Fort Cobb; the Kiowa tribe refused.
The Kiowas and Comanches, led by Satanta and Big Tree, decide to attack the white men, and they kill 7 teamsters.
Lone Wolf, another Kiowa Chief, arranges for the release of White Bear and Big Tree so they can attend the peace talks at Fort Sill.
In early 1874, while on parole, White Bear and Big Tree lead the Kiowa and Comanche tribes on an attack against white settlers in order to preserve the buffalo.
Despite maintaining peaceful relations with whites, the Nez Perces are forced to sign a treaty in 1863 which removes them to a small reservation in Idaho.
Being highly offended by the treaty terms, and the sudden influx of gold miners and cattle farmers onto Nez Perce land, the tribe refused to move to the Lapwai Reservation, choosing instead to fight the US Army at White Bird Canyon in June 1877.
After winning that battle, the tribe fled to Montana, trying to join Sitting Bull in Canada, but then they lost the battle at the Bear Paw Mountains in August and were forced to surrender.
Some members of the tribe managed to find refuge in Canada, but those that surrendered were split between the Lapwai reservation and the Colville reservation in Washington.
Despite having previously signed treaties guaranteeing their ownership of the land on the Niobrara River, the Ponca land was taken from via a subsequent US treaty and given to the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota tribes just before they were added to a list of tribes to be exiled to Indian Territory following Custer's defeat.
Standing Bear returned to the Niobrara and takes his case to a white man's court in 1879 arguing that he is a person protected by the US Constitution.
Standing Bear won his case but is informed by General Sherman that the case is specific to him and does not maintain validity for the other Poncas, who were forced to remain in Indian Territory.
He signed another treaty in 1868 that allotted 16 million acres of forests and meadows in the Rockies as a personal reservation that prohibited white trespass.
In 1881, as a result of outrage over the White River Massacre, the Utes were removed to a marginal reservation in Utah.
AIM moved to promote modern Native American issues and to unite America's dividing Native American population, similar to the Civil Rights and Environmental Movements that gained support at that time.
In 1969, AIM occupied Alcatraz Island for 19 months in hopes of reclaiming Native American land after the San Francisco Indian Center burned down.
In 1973, less than three years after the book's release, AIM and local Oglala and neighboring Sicangu Lakota took part in a 71-day occupation at Wounded Knee in protest of the government of Richard Wilson, the chairman of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, which resulted in the death of two Indians and injury of the US Marshal.
The resulting 1974 trial ended in the dismissal of all charges due to the uncovering of various incidents of government misconduct.
The actions of the United States Army in Vietnam were frequently criticized in the media and critics of Brown's narrative often drew comparisons between its contents and what was seen in the media.
The primary comparison made was the similarity between the massacre and atrocities against Native Americans in the late nineteenth century as portrayed by Dee Brown's book and the 1968 massacre of hundreds of civilians in Southern Vietnam at My Lai for which twenty-five US Army members were indicted.
But the details of how the West was won are not really part of the American consciousness ... Dee Brown, Western historian and head librarian at the University of Illinois, now attempts to balance the account.
The Pulitzer-Prize winning Native American author N. Scott Momaday noted the book contains strong documentation of original sources, such as council records and firsthand descriptions.
Other critics could not believe that the book was not written by a Native American and that Dee Brown was a white man, as the book's Native perspective felt so real.
Remaining on bestseller lists for over a year following its release in hardback, the book remains in print 40 years later.
The film stars Adam Beach, Aidan Quinn, Anna Paquin, and August Schellenberg with a cameo appearance by late actor and former US Senator Fred Thompson as President Grant.
It debuted on the HBO television network Sunday, May 27, 2007 and covers roughly the last two chapters of Brown's book, focusing on the narrative of the Lakota tribes leading up to the death of Sitting Bull and the Massacre at Wounded Knee.
The film received 17 Primetime Emmy nominations and went on to win six awards, including the category of Outstanding Made For Television Movie.
The book includes copious photographs, illustrations, and maps in support of the narrative and to appeal to its middle school demographic.
The University of Southern Queensland (USQ) is a medium-sized, regional university based in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, with three university campuses at Toowoomba, Springfield and Ipswich.

The new telescope facility has been supporting Australian astronomers to discover planet systems and perform an important role in NASA's TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission.
Based upon the results of the 2013 International student barometer survey, USQ was named the top university for international student satisfaction in Australia that year.
In 2015, the University had around 28,203 students of which approximately 84% were domestic students, 16% were international students, 15.8 was the number of students per staff, and 1.17 was the student ratio of females to males.
The Tibetan Plateau (), also known in China as the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau or the Qing–Zang Plateau () or Himalayan Plateau, is a vast elevated plateau in Central Asia and East Asia, covering most of the Tibet Autonomous Region and Qinghai in western China, as well as Ladakh and Lahaul & Spiti (Himachal Pradesh) in India.
It is sometimes termed the Third Pole given its ice fields contain the largest reserve of fresh water outside the polar regions.
The plateau is bordered to the south by the inner Himalayan range, to the north by the Kunlun Mountains, which separate it from the Tarim Basin, and to the northeast by the Qilian Mountains, which separate the plateau from the Hexi Corridor and Gobi Desert.
To the east and southeast the plateau gives way to the forested gorge and ridge geography of the mountainous headwaters of the Salween, Mekong, and Yangtze rivers in northwest Yunnan and western Sichuan (the Hengduan Mountains).
The Tibetan Plateau is bounded in the north by a broad escarpment where the altitude drops from around to over a horizontal distance of less than .
About halfway across the Tarim the bounding range becomes the Altyn-Tagh and the Kunluns, by convention, continue somewhat to the south.
North of the mountains runs the Gansu or Hexi Corridor which was the main silk-road route from China proper to the West.
The southern and eastern edges of the steppe have grasslands which can sustainably support populations of nomadic herdsmen, although frost occurs for six months of the year.
Proceeding to the north and northwest, the plateau becomes progressively higher, colder and drier, until reaching the remote Changtang region in the northwestern part of the plateau.
As a result of this extremely inhospitable environment, the Changthang region (together with the adjoining Kekexili region) is the least populous region in Asia, and the third least populous area in the world after Antarctica and northern Greenland.
The Himalayas belong to the Alpine Orogeny and are therefore are among the younger mountain ranges on the planet, consisting mostly of uplifted sedimentary and metamorphic rock.
Their formation is a result of a continental collision or orogeny along the convergent boundary between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
The collision began in the Upper Cretaceous period about 70 million years ago, when the north-moving Indo-Australian Plate, moving at about per year, collided with the Eurasian Plate.
About 50 million years ago, this fast moving Indo-Australian plate had completely closed the Tethys Ocean, the existence of which has been determined by sedimentary rocks settled on the ocean floor, and the volcanoes that fringed its edges.
The Indo-Australian plate continues to be driven horizontally below the Tibetan Plateau, which forces the plateau to move upwards; the plateau is still rising at a rate of approximately per year.
Some argue that the Tibetan Plateau is an uplifted peneplain formed at low altitude, while others argue that the low relief stems from erosion and infill of topographic depressions that occurred at already high elevations.
The Tibetan Plateau hosts the Tibetan wolf, and species of snow leopard, wild yak, wild donkey, cranes, vultures, hawks, geese, snakes, and water buffalo.
Nomads on the Tibetan Plateau and in the Himalayas are the remainders of nomadic practices historically once widespread in Asia and Africa.
The presence of nomadic peoples on the plateau is predicated on their adaptation to survival on the world's grassland by raising livestock rather than crops, which are unsuitable to the terrain.
Archaeological evidence suggests that the colonization leading to the full-time occupation of the plateau occurred much later than the previously thought 30,000 years ago.
Since colonization of the Tibetan Plateau, Tibetan culture has adapted and flourished in the western, southern, and eastern regions of the plateau.
One of the most notable civilizations to have developed on the Tibetan Plateau is the Tibetan Empire from the 7th century to the 9th century AD.
Together, these factors mean that the heat capacity of the layer participating in the seasonal cycle is much larger over the oceans than over land, with the consequence that the land warms and cools faster than the ocean.
The pressure anomaly then causes a steady wind to blow toward the land, which brings the moist air over the ocean surface with it.
The rainfall is stimulated by a variety of mechanisms, such as low-level air being lifted upwards by mountains, surface heating, convergence at the surface, divergence aloft, or from storm-produced outflows near the surface.
The hot air over the ocean rises, creating a low-pressure area and a breeze from land to ocean while a large area of drying high pressure is formed over the land, increased by wintertime cooling.
Monsoons are similar to sea and land breezes, a term usually referring to the localized, diurnal cycle of circulation near coastlines everywhere, but they are much larger in scale, stronger and seasonal.
The seasonal monsoon wind shift and weather associated with the heating and cooling of the Tibetan plateau is the strongest such monsoon on Earth.
With a much lower latitude, the ice in Tibet reflected at least four times more radiation energy per unit area into space than ice at higher latitudes.
This lack of monsoon caused extensive rainfall over the Sahara, expansion of the Thar Desert, more dust deposited into the Arabian Sea, and a lowering of the biotic life zones on the Indian subcontinent.
In addition, the glaciers in Tibet created meltwater lakes in the Qaidam Basin, the Tarim Basin, and the Gobi Desert, despite the strong evaporation caused by the low latitude.
Silt and clay from the glaciers accumulated in these lakes; when the lakes dried at the end of the ice age, the silt and clay were blown by the downslope wind off the Plateau.
The McDonald Observatory is an astronomical observatory located near the unincorporated community of Fort Davis in Jeff Davis County, Texas, United States.
The facility is located on Mount Locke in the Davis Mountains of West Texas, with additional facilities on Mount Fowlkes, approximately to the northeast.
The McDonald Observatory was originally endowed by the Texas banker William Johnson McDonald (1844–1926), who left about $1 million - the bulk of his fortune - to the University of Texas to endow an astronomical observatory.
The provision of the will was challenged by McDonald's relatives, but after a long legal fight, the University received about $800,000 from the estate and construction began at Mt.
The then-unnamed Otto Struve Telescope was dedicated on May 5, 1939, and at that time was the second largest telescope in the world.
McDonald Observatory was operated under contract by the University of Chicago until the 1960s, when control was transferred to the University of Texas at Austin under the direction of Harlan J. Smith.
Research today at the McDonald Observatory encompasses a wide variety of topics and projects, including planetary systems, stars and stellar spectroscopy, the interstellar medium, extragalactic astronomy, and theoretical astronomy.
The McDonald Observatory is equipped with a wide range of instrumentation for imaging and spectroscopy in the optical and infrared spectra, and operates the first lunar laser ranging station.
The high and dry peaks of the Davis Mountains make for some of the darkest and clearest night skies in the region and provide excellent conditions for astronomical research.
It is operated jointly by the University of Texas at Austin, Pennsylvania State University, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, and Georg-August University of Göttingen.
As of 2019, after upgrades the HET is tied with the Keck Telescopes as the second or third largest telescope in the world.
It also hosts evening star parties, every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday evening which allow visitors to look through numerous telescopes of various sizes in the Telescope Park, including the wheelchair accessible Wren Marcario Accessible Telescope (a Pfund Telescope), and enjoy an indoor program.
Special viewing nights, during which visitors can stay on-site (not required for the programs) and view directly through eyepieces on the 0.9 m, Struve (2.1m), or Smith (2.7m) telescopes, are held on a reservation-only basis.
Isuzu's primary market focus is on commercial diesel-powered truck, buses and construction, while their Japanese competitor Yanmar focuses on commercial-level powerplants and generators.
Isuzu Motors' history began in 1916, when Tokyo Ishikawajima Shipbuilding and Engineering Co., Ltd. planned a cooperation with the Tokyo Gas and Electric Industrial Co. to build automobiles.
The next step was taken in 1918, when a technical cooperation with Wolseley Motors Limited was initiated, yielding exclusive rights to the production and sales of Wolseley vehicles in East Asia.
In 1933, Ishikawajima Automotive Works merged with DAT Automobile Manufacturing Inc. (a predecessor of Nissan) and changed its name to Automobile Industries Co., Ltd.
Being a small producer making cars which were somewhat too large and pricey for the Japanese market at the time, Isuzu spent some time looking for a commercial partner.
Under pressure from MITI, who were attempting to limit the number of automobile manufacturers in Japan, a cooperation with Fuji Heavy Industries (Subaru) began in 1966.
The Subaru 1000 was even shown in Isuzu's 1967 annual vehicle brochure, as a suitable complement to the larger Isuzu lineup.
A few months later, in September 1971, what was to prove a more durable capital agreement was signed with General Motors.
The first result of GM taking a 34% stake in Isuzu was seen in 1972, when the Chevrolet LUV became the first Isuzu-built vehicle to be sold in the United States.
Isuzu exports also increased considerably as a result of being able to use GM networks, from 0.7% of production in 1973 to 35.2% by 1976; this while overall production increased more than fourfold in the same period.
As a result of the GM joint venture, Isuzu engines were also used by existing GM divisions (some USA-market Chevrolet automobiles had Isuzu powertrains e.g.
Isuzu's then president Toshio Okamoto then initiated a collaboration with small-car expert Suzuki to develop a global small car for GM, the S-car.
A three-way agreement of co-ownership was signed in August 1981, with Isuzu and Suzuki exchanging shares and General Motors taking a 5% share of Suzuki.
Following on from this, in 1985 Isuzu and GM established the IBC Vehicles venture in the United Kingdom, producing locally built versions of Isuzu and Suzuki light vans (the Isuzu Fargo and Suzuki Carry); to be sold in the European market under Vauxhall's Bedford brand.
During this period Isuzu also developed a worldwide presence as an exporter of diesel engines, with their powerplants in use by Opel/Vauxhall, Land Rover, Hindustan, and many others.
Two Isuzu model lines (Gemini, Impulse) were marketed as part of the Geo division (Spectrum, Storm) when it was initially launched as a Chevrolet subsidiary.
This OEM tie-up occurred alongside the establishment of SIA (Subaru-Isuzu Automotive), an American joint venture with Fuji Heavy Industries (the parent company of Subaru).
Isuzu ended US sales of the Impulse (Geo Storm) in 1992, and the following year it stopped exporting the Stylus (the basis for the Geo Spectrum), the last Isuzu-built car sold in the US.
In 1993 Isuzu began a new vehicle exchange program with Honda, whereby Honda sold the Isuzu Rodeo and Isuzu Trooper as the Honda Passport and Acura SLX, respectively.
In the Japanese market, the Gemini (Stylus) was now a rebadged Honda Domani and the Aska (originally based on the GM J-car) was a Honda Accord.
Isuzu's United States sales reached a peak in 1996 after the introduction of the Isuzu Hombre pickup, a badge-engineered GM truck (using the sheetmetal of the Brazil-market Chevrolet S10).
Isuzu resurrected the beloved Amigo in 1998, before changing the name of the 2-door convertible to Rodeo Sport in 2001 in an attempt to associate it with the better selling 4-door Rodeo.
The new Axiom launched in 2001, with the fictional salesman Joe Isuzu from 1980s advertising campaigns brought back to promote it.
Isuzu sales began to slide due to the ageing of the Rodeo and Trooper, and poor management and a lack of assistance from GM.
By this point sales in North America had slowed to just 27,188, with the discontinued Rodeo and Axiom making up 71% of that total.
GM raised its stake in Isuzu to 49% the following year, effectively gaining control of the company, and quickly followed this up by appointing an American GM executive to head Isuzu's North American Operations.
The production version of the heralded VehiCROSS was introduced to the US in 1999, but met with mixed reviews, as its high pricetag, unique styling and two-door configuration did not seem to meet with market demands.
Production of the VehiCROSS and other sport utility vehicles, including the Trooper, ended in 2001 as part of a major financial reorganization which eliminated almost 10,000 jobs.
The number of Isuzu dealerships in the US began a rapid decline, and by 2005 had only 2 models: the Ascender (a re-badged GMC Envoy) and the i-series pickup truck (a rebadged Chevrolet Colorado).
At this point, Isuzu in the US was primarily a distributor of medium duty trucks such as the N-series, sourced both from Japan and US plants in Janesville, Wisconsin and Flint, Michigan.
Isuzu had 290 light-vehicle dealers in the US in August 2006, and sold an average of just two Ascenders per dealer per month, and rumors of Isuzu's withdrawal from the US market were rampant.
Plans to introduce a new Thai-built SUV for 2007 were shelved when Isuzu Motors Limited decided that a new SUV would be too risky, instead proceeding with the launch of the i-series trucks.
Despite extremely low sales figures of 12,177 passenger vehicles for 2005 (with leftover Axiom and Rodeos making up 30% of this), Isuzu Motors America announced its first profit in years, mainly due to restructuring cuts.
In most of Asia and Africa, Isuzu is mostly known for trucks of all sizes, after Isuzu small automobile sales drastically plummeted and Isuzu had to drop all sales of sedans and compact cars in the late 1990s.
Isuzu as a corporation has always been primarily a manufacturer of small to medium compact automobiles and commercial trucks of sizes medium duty and larger, but markets around the world show different needs.
The company explained to its dealers that it had not been able to secure replacements for the Isuzu Ascender and Isuzu i-Series that would be commercially viable.
Its presence in the country began in 1966 when it established a manufacturing facility for pick-up trucks in the Samuthprakarn province with a capacity of 155,000 units per year.
The automaker quickly became a market leader so that by 2002, the company transferred its production base from its original location in Fujisuwa, Japan to Thailand.
It the same year, it announced that its profit climbed 7 percent and has doubled its annual truck production to meet overseas demands.
It is connected to the internet and provides government mandated driver activity logs, and records how long the driver was on-duty and how much time was spent driving.
The service also records when the driver took lunch breaks, where the truck stopped and for how long, and when the driver logged off for his duty shift.
The service has been modified for personal use in Japan to keep track of family members, to include elderly members of health status and location of children for safety purposes.
Some of the main features include Internet Digital Tachograph, the first of its kind wirelessly in Japan, combined with hands-free communication, voice guidance, and text messages displayed from the dispatch office.
The system also has a password enabled vehicle theft prevention feature that will not let the vehicle start without the driver having entered a password.
At this time she was living in the suburb of Farmers Branch, where she briefly attended R. L. Turner High School.
Dinky Toys were among the most popular diecast vehicles ever made – pre-dating other popular diecast marques, including Corgi, Matchbox and Mattel's Hot Wheels (Ralston 2009, 7; Richardson 1999, 128).
The company later moved into model railways with their first O gauge clockwork trains appearing in 1920 (Ellis 2009, p. 15; Wainwright 2013).
In the early 1930s, Meccano had made many types of tin plate and other metal cars, like its Morgan and BSA three-wheelers, mostly in kit form (Interesting 1934, pp.
In 1933 Meccano Ltd issued a series of railway and trackside accessories to complement their O scale (1/45) Hornby Trains model train sets (Force 1988, p. 6; Ramsay 1933, p. 88).
In the mid-1930s, then, six vehicles were introduced (designated 22a through f), including a sports car, a sports coupe, a truck, a delivery van, a farm tractor, and a tank.
Soon after, the first Dinky model car available individually was numbered 23 – a sports car based on the MG Magic Midget.
At this early time a series 24 (a-h) were introduced and included a generic ambulance (made until the late 1940s) a grand sport open four-seater, a grand sport two-seater, a coupe and a limousine (Gardner and O'Neill 1996, pp.
Some smaller vehicles were also produced alongside model track workers, passengers, station staff and other O scale track side accessories (Meccano Dinky 1934 p. 332).
By August 1935 there were around 200 different products in the Dinky Toys range which included die-cast ships, aeroplanes and small trains.
These included a generic ambulance, a Daimler saloon, a Vauxhall saloon, a Chrysler Airflow saloon, and a Rolls-Royce saloon (Gardiner and O'Neill 1996, pp.
Models in series 36, meanwhile, included a Rover Saloon, a Bentley 2 seat sports coupe, an Armstrong-Siddeley limousine, a British Salmson 4 seater convertible, a British Salmson 2 seat convertible, and a Humber Vogue coupe (Gardiner and O'Neill 1996, pp.
Provisions were made in some models for attachment of metal drivers, but not many appeared before the war, making them more valuable (Gardiner and O'Neill 1996, p. 48).
Dinkys had acute problems on early models with zinc pest also known wrongly as metal fatigue, caused by impure alloys in which corrosion happens between molecules causing cracking of the metal (Harvey 1974, p. 1997).
This was much more common before the war in the years 1938–1941, and a main reason it is rare to find surviving toys in good condition from this period (Ramsay 1993, p. 88).
Some early castings have survived in numbers, while others are rare without some form of damage – such as the 28/2 Series vans.
Another theory is that lead from Hornby train and Dinky Toys production, lead ties from sacks and foil from cigarette wrapping found their way into the metal, corrupting it.
These were painted army green and consisted of a medium and a light tank, an Austin 7 military car, a six-wheeled truck, a reconnaissance car, a searchlight lorry, an anti aircraft gun, a light Dragon tractor with limber and 19 pdr gun.
The military offerings were produced through 1941 though a few select models – the clever 161b Anti-Aircraft Gun, the 151a medium tank and some of the trailers – were also made again in 1946–1955 after the war (Dinky Toys Encyclopaedia).
Tracks on the tanks and the 162a Light Dragon Artillery Tractor were done with wire-link sprocket chain wrapped around the hubs.
With the Anti-Aircraft Gun, the side panels folded and not only did the gun swivel 360 degrees, but it could be moved from level to about a 50-degree angle upward.
In the early days of the Dinky Toys range aeroplanes and ships formed a considerable part of the output of the Binns Road factory alongside models of cars, vans and trucks.
Some models were clearly identified whereas others re-issued in 1945 had generic names such as Heavy Bomber (66a) and Two Seater Fighter (66c).
The reason for this is not clear and it may have been that these were not true representations of particular aircraft types, but there were rumours that some models of aircraft and ships were disguised so that enemy agents would not be able to recognise allied aircraft and shipping from the Dinky Toys models.
This was of particular importance in the production of French Dinky models due to the political friction in Europe before the war and the fact that France was occupied by the Axis forces during hostilities.
These theories do not stand as the models with generic names were issued in 1945 and at that time there was no enemy any more, the allies had dealt with them.
Production of model aircraft resumed after the war with a mixture re-issues of pre-war and new models of civilian airliners and new jet-powered aircraft.
Production of Dinky planes tailed off in 1968 but was resurgent in 1971 with a range of World War II types complete with battery-powered propellers, modern jet fighters, and even a Sea King helicopter.
These large scale planes had been developed by Airfix but were made by Meccano Ltd. which had just been bought by Airfix.
The models, which were 1/1200 to 1/1985 scale, were cast from the same unstable alloy that was used across the entire immediate pre-war Dinky range and have therefore also suffered from metal fatigue that makes survivors all the more rare.
Small metal rollers were also included in the design and concealed in the underside of the hull so that the models could be moved smoothly across surfaces.
The liner France was the only Dinky Toys ship produced in France after the war, it was made partly of zamac and partly of plastic at the scale of 1/1200.
It was not until 1976 that five further models were added to the long line of maritime releases from Dinky Toys, these were in the larger scale of 1/180 – 1/200.
The French Meccano factory was occupied by the Germans, some of whom worked for Märklin, and the British factory was on war work but every Christmas a few models would be sold from pre-war stocks.
Thus during and after the war a few 'pre-war' models survived and were sold in 1945 (Harvey 1974, p. 1997–1998) (The Dinky Toys Encyclopaedia).
Besides some of the military vehicles offered before and after the war, the first significant releases from Dinky in the late 1940s were the 40 series, which were all British saloons.
The 40 series cars were manufactured from better quality alloy, meaning that the survival rate is higher and although originally sold in trade boxes of six, they were renumbered in 1954 and re-coloured in two-tone paintwork in 1956, the Austin Somerset ref.
The first two models in the 40 series were in 1:48 scale, while the others were in 1:45 scale (Schellekens 2010).
More recently, Odgi Models have remade the Jowett and a couple other Dinky Toys Models which were planned but never manufactured.
As part of the post-war development and expansion of the range, in 1947 Meccano Ltd introduced a series of model lorries modeled to the usual Dinky scale of 1:48, and introduced the altered name of Dinky Supertoys.
The Guy cab was joined by a Bedford S cab in 1955 and a Guy Warrior cab was introduced in 1960.
Supertoys were commonly packaged in white boxes with thin blue horizontal lines and were marketed all on their own – no longer were these models solely focused on railroad accessories.
In 1965 after the take over of Meccano Ltd. by Lines Brothers, the marque Dinky Supertoys was dropped and the large models were renamed Dinky Toys.
The smaller cars were in a scale of 1:45, while the larger cars and many Supertoys, as stated above, were in a scale of 1:48, which blended in with O scale railway sets, but many buses and lorries were scaled down further (Schellekens 2010).
Because of the introduction of data processing, the British Dinky Toys range was reorganized in 1954 with a new numbering system – previously model numbers were commonly followed by letters and often sold in sets with several vehicles.
Now each model had its own unique three digit catalogue number (with no letters), and cars were now sold in individual boxes (Smeed 1980, p. 33).
Some cars in the sporty pre-war line were carried on after the war like the Alvis sports tourer, the Sunbeam Talbot, or the Frazer-Nash BMW.
These offerings then led to a magnificent line-up in the post war Dinky range, which included a Lagonda, an Armstrong-Siddeley, MG, Sunbeam Alpine, Austin Atlantic, Austin Healey 100, Aston Martin DB3S racer, Morris Oxford sedan and Triumph TR2 (Gardiner and O'Neill 1996, pp.
Additionally, several models introduced were American cars, and even now still seem unique choices, such as a 1954 Packard convertible, a 1955 Plymouth Belvedere, a Cunningham, the 1953 and 1957 Studebakers (and a 1957 Packard), a Chrysler New Yorker Convertible, a 1957 Rambler, and a late model Hudson Hornet.
In many cases, even domestic British / European vehicle choices for models were not everyday selections, e. g. the Connaught racing car, Maserati Sports 2000, AC Aceca, Humber Hawk, 1954 Bristol LeMans car with large fins – and a Daimler instead of the more routine Jaguar.
4 / 249 offered Cooper-Bristol in British racing green, Alfa Romeo in the Italian red, Ferrari in the blue and yellow of Argentina (Juan Manuel Fangio's country), and H.W.M.
Production of agricultural machinery and implements had occurred since the 1930s, such as the 1933 number 22e Fordson farm tractor, and such offerings were maintained post-war.
One interesting model was the odd Opperman 3-wheeled Motocart, a tilting flat-bed vehicle with engine hanging off to the side of its large front wheel (Rixon 2005, pp.
In November 1958, Meccano Ltd introduced the Dublo Dinky range of models in 1:76 OO scale, designed to be used with the Hornby railway system (Force 1988, pp.
These were relatively cheap to produce – having a one-piece die-cast metal body, a base plate and or windows on some, and plastic wheels.
There was the added bonus of being able to compete in the small-scale toy car market which, at the time was dominated by Lesney's Matchbox (see Force 1988, p. 47).
There were a total 15 Dublo models, although with upgrades and modifications there are possibly up to 42 variations (not including box variations) manufactured (Force 1988, p. 47).
For example, similar to Matchbox, the Land Rover (which came with a horse trailer) had windows, grey or black plastic wheels and a black base (see photo, Force 1988, p. 47).
Wheels, however, (the Land Rover had one on the bonnet as well as one underneath) were somewhat flatter and wider than those of Matchbox and their circumference was not ribbed at the beginning but this feature was added later.
The baseplate, however, was pressed steel with etched lettering (not diecast with moulded lettering as was the case with Matchbox, Budgie Toys or Lone Star vehicles).
The front was covered by the tube of the baseplate and held pinched on each side by extensions of the diecast body.
072 Bedford articulated lorry was a reproduction of the Meccano factory lorry, its articulated flat trailer was dimensioned to receive the Hornby Dublo container.
The range met with limited success and the first model was withdrawn in October 1960 having only been on sale for 18 months – there was no replacement.
Further models were withdrawn in May 1961, September 1962 and March 1963 until in November 1963 those models that remained were taken off the shelf six years after the Dinky Dublo line was introduced.
Dinky offerings at this time were striking, but due to the lack of much competition, development of new models was perhaps a bit slow at least until July 1956, when Mettoy introduced a rival line of models under the Corgi brand name.
This range was kept to one scale, 1:42, also featured mainly British makes, and were comparatively more expensive, never managing to sell as many units as Corgi or Dinky Toys.
Since Dinky Toys were more popular, Spot-On Models were phased out in 1967, although a few cars originally designed for Spot-On were made in Hong Kong and marketed as Dinky Toys.
After the take-over, Meccano continued to use the 1:42 scale for many of the English made cars and trucks until 1977.
The company continued to make innovative models, with all four doors opening (a first in British toy cars), retractable radio aerials (another first), new metallic paints, and jeweled headlights (pretty, but not very realistic).
Such features, however, were expensive to manufacture and toy prices could only be kept low if the quantity was high, and in the face of Mattel's creation, Dinky faced an uphill battle.
Though the writing was on the wall, Dinky's offerings in the 1970s covered the entire spectrum of vehicles, both real and fictitious.
Into the 1970s, many British made Dinky vehicles lost the precision quality of detailing and proportions seen during the two previous decades.
213 European Ford Capri were rather chunky and unrefined with thick metal door frames, imprecise grilles, and ungainly doors and bonnets painted in separate colours from the rest of the body.
1453 Citroën DS Présidentielle saloon were still impressive–flying French flags, with driver, and battery operated lights (Gardiner and O'Neill 1996, p. 23).
Some of the truck and construction models remained very clever as well, with many moving features, like the Bedford refuse truck or the Taylor Excavator.
On the other hand, French Dinky Toys, which had to compete with Solido since 1957, were much more accurate with better paint and sharper details than their English counterparts.
A second series of small scale models was introduced four years later in 1967, somewhat larger than the Matchbox range at 1:65.
Mini-Dinky Toys, as the range was called, featured opening bonnets, doors and boots and were produced in Hong Kong and the Netherlands, with some construction models designed in Hong Kong as copies of models made in Italy by Mercury.
Some Mini-Dinkys were also blister packaged in a dark grey pack (some with garage and some not) with bright yellow lettering (Mini Dinky 2011).
Although Dinky Toys were not known as widely for producing television related models as Corgi Toys, they still made a number of vehicles widely known from the small screen.
Many of these models were the result of beating Corgi Toys to the signing of a licensing deal with Gerry Anderson's Century 21 Productions, whose programmes are immensely popular in the United Kingdom.
By 1921, the French market had proved so successful that production of Meccano began in Paris at the newly opened factory on Rue Rebeval, with another plant opening in 1931 in Bobigny where production of the Dinky Toys range would be based.
By the late 1930s the French Dinky Toys range had begun to diversify from that of the British parent company, concentrating on the products of the French motor manufacturers and eventually including; Citroën, Peugeot, Simca, Renault, Panhard and Ford of France (Gardiner and O'Neill 1996, pp.
During the Second World War the Meccano factory was commandeered by the invading Germans and used in the Nazi war effort.
From 1945, the model vehicles were forcibly shod with solid metal wheels and the pumps did not have rubber hoses due to the shortage of rubber which was needed for the army.
In the early post war period, rubber was needed badly as the French supply came from Cambodia and Laos in war against France, rubber tyres were not fitted on models until 1950.
In 1951, the headquarters and offices which were still at Rue Rebeval closed and Dinky Toys production was now solely based at Bobigny.
The Citroën Traction Avant (24N), released in 1949, was 1:48, while the Ford Vedette 1949 (24Q), released in 1950, was 1:45, the same scales as used in the British 40 series.
By the late 1950s, Italian, German and other marques, like the Dutch DAF were also offered by Dinky Toys of France (Gardiner and O'Neill 1996, pp.
1960s cars produced by Meccano France were the first Corvair sedan, a 1967 Ford Thunderbird coupe and a 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 sedan.
Some models such as the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia were produced both in France as 24M / 530 and in the UK at the Binns Road plant in Liverpool as number 187.
By the 1960s there was virtually no crossover of product between the two countries resulting in a fascinating range that complemented the models.
The vast majority of the French Dinky range was only available in the home market, Belgium, Switzerland, U.S.A. and other non British Commonwealth countries although a few models did make it across the English Channel both before and after the war.
The factory at Bobigny closed in 1970 and production moved to the present Meccano factory in Calais where the range continued to be manufactured until 1972 when the final single sheet catalogue spelt the French Meccano-built end for the best known name in diecast toys.
A contract had been signed with the Spanish firm Auto Pilen who received some tools and produced some models both as Dinkys and Auto-Pilens.
As import duties were high on finished goods and reduced on components, to get into the Spanish market, Meccano s.a. (France) exported sixteen unpainted and unassembled Dinky Toys to The Novades Poch Company in Barcelona.
In 1974 labour was getting too expensive in France, and Meccano subcontracted the manufacture of some models to Auto Pilen s.a. in Spain.
When the Calais factory closed down some of the recent tools were sent to Liverpool where the models were produced with new baseplates.
Some of these tools were later sent to Auto-Pilen where they were modified or updated before; being re-issued, however it is not known if the dies were modified by Meccano or by Pilen.
These models were sold in France under the marque Dinky, they were clearly identified as Dinky and as MADE IN SPAIN on the base plate.
Pilen models, most of which were Dinky dies, were very popular and numerous in Spain and commonly sold in El Corte Inglés and Galerias Preciados department stores.
According to a contract between Meccano s.a. and Pilen, the last five so called French Dinkys were in fact Pilen models designed and tooled in Algeciras and fitted with a Dinky Toys base plate.
Meccano Ltd exported Dinky Toys to all of the United Kingdom's old colonies relatively cheaply because of existing Commonwealth trade agreements.
Around 1952 -54, Meccano Ltd shipped to South Africa a limited edition set of vehicles for the South African Defence Force.
This set included a Motor Truck, a Covered Wagon, an Ambulance, a Dispatch Rider, a Van, a petrol tanker, a fire engine, a road roller, a Mechanical horse and trailer, a loudspeaker van.
When South Africa withdrew from the Commonwealth in 1961, it imposed a luxury goods import tax, making Dinky Toys very expensive – a potential loss for Meccano Ltd. To resolve this problem, Meccano Ltd began shipping Dinky Toy parts to South Africa in 1962 where models were assembled and painted locally.
These models were sold in South Africa between 1962 and 1963 and it is believed that only one batch of each model was produced, making South African Dinky Toys very rare.
South Africa also imported Dinky Toys parts from the French factory in 1966 and six models were assembled and painted locally (Binns Road website).
Circa 1967–1973, for reasons related to import substitution, some Dinky Toys were made in Arica, a tax free port at the very north of Chile.
Only twelve models are known today, those which in England were packed in clear boxes and were provided in Chile with specific yellow packaging with a red 'globe' symbol.
Original British-made Dinky Toys had been available in select cities in India from pre-war days until about 1955, when import curbs on toys came into effect.
Old stocks of original Dinky toys continued to be available for a few years in Calcutta and other metro areas until supplies were exhausted.
Later, similar to how Corgis became Milton Toys and Matchboxes became Maxwells in India, Dinkys eventually appeared there under a distinct name.
In 1963, Meccano closed its Speke factory and sold the dies, the casting machines and remains of spare parts and yellow boxes to S. Kumar & Co. in Calcutta, India.
The toys were first assembled with parts made in Liverpool and packed in original yellow boxes with the Dinky Toys name.
The quality was very poor and it is believed that Meccano Ltd. asked S. Kumar & Co. not to use the Dinky name.
Later when the stock of original boxes ran out, NICKY TOYS boxes of poor quality were printed in India (The Dinky Toys Encyclopaedia).
Originally intended to be produced by Spot-On, but re-branded as Dinky Toys when the Spot-On parent company (Tri-ang) bought Meccano Ltd, they were built to the usual Spot-On scale of 1:42.
These were poor quality models, however, compared to earlier Dinkys, and an attempt to cut production costs and possibly shift production should the Binns Road Factory close, which it eventually did.
The parts may have been made in England or the tools exported, they were made and assembled by Polistil in Milan.
Changing fashions in the toy industry, international competition and the switch to cheap labour in lower wage countries meant that the days of British-made toy vehicles like Dinky Toys were numbered.
After attempts at simplifying the products as a means of saving costs, the famous Binns Road factory in Liverpool finally closed its doors in November 1979.
This seemed to be a logical and perhaps synergistic development, uniting two of the most valuable and venerated names in the British and world die-cast model car market under one roof.
The models, like a Wolseley Hornet or a 1953 Buick Skylark convertible, were attractive and honoured the tradition of the Dinky name in realism.
This range is a twice monthly partwork featuring a particular Dinky Toy model complete with certificate and an information leaflet on the history of the casting and the real model.
These models were from brand new tooling as the original Meccano dies had been previously sold to other toy makers worldwide or were destroyed or lost.
In 2016, DeAgostini, the parent company of Atlas editions, launched another range of Dinky Toys in The United Kingdom and Italy, this time relaunching some of the range from 2008 onward, but replacing Atlas Editions with DeAgostini on the baseplate.
In the United Kingdom, the first five models issued were the Triumph TR2, Bedford CA Van, Ford Thunderbird, Morris Mini Traveller and the Jaguar XK120 coupe.
Issue 6 was continued in Italy and eventually Issue 6 was issued in the UK which as of November 2019 stands at issue 44.
The band, known for its energetic live performances, built strong followings during its early years, especially in the college towns of Kalamazoo and East Lansing.
While performing, someone in the crowd threw a beer bottle towards the stage and it hit Brian Vander Ark in the cheek.
Immediately after the release of the family album, the band undertook a series of small-venue performances, mostly around Michigan and the East Coast.
Kilbride was born in San Francisco, California, the son of Elizabeth (née Kelly), a native of Maryland, and Owen Kilbride, a Canadian.
According to Benny, Percy Kilbride was the same character offscreen and on: quiet and friendly but principled, refusing to be paid more or less than what he considered a fair salary.
On September 21, 1964, Kilbride and another actor, Ralf Belmont, were struck by a car while crossing the street in Hollywood.
Belmont died instantly; Kilbride died three months later from atherosclerosis and terminal pneumonia which were caused by head injuries, having undergone brain surgery at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles on November 11, aged 76.
By the 19th and 20th centuries, the Lowells descended from John Lowell (1743–1802) were widely considered to be one of U.S. most accomplished families.
Massachusetts Bay Colony Governor John Winthrop needed solid, dependable people to settle the North Shore area as a buffer against the French from Canada and urged that the Lowells relocate to Newburyport on the Merrimack River, at the border of the failing Province of Maine.
Lowell family historian Delmar R. Lowell, gave much weight and persuasion to the origins of the name Lowle in his work and he and others concluded the Lowles of England were unquestionably of Norman descent.
There were still Louels in Scotland on the Scottish Marches in the Royal Burgh of Roxburgh when Edward Longshanks, King of England, ordered the nobility and gentry in Scotland to swear an oath of allegiance to him in the Ragman Roll in 1291.
William Lowle of Yardley in Worcestershire is documented as a yeoman, and standing as a witness to a border dispute between two of his neighbours.
It is from this period that Delmar Lowell traces the descent of the Lowles through England until their departure for the colonies.
Documentation for this period also exists in The National Archives of England showing that there were also Lowels in the Welsh Marches.
The Harleian Society, a British publisher of the official Royal Heraldic visitations, describes the Lowle Coate of Arms from the herald's records taken in Somersetshire in the years 1573, 1591, and 1623.
The coat of arms has a shield with black field displaying a right hand cut-off at the wrist and grabbing three arrows, one vertical and two crossed diagonally, in silver; above the shield is a male deer's head with a barbed, broad arrowhead in blue between its antlers.
The use of the Lowle Coat of Arms has varied slightly between the generations; some families omitted the pheon azure or substituted blunted bolts for the pointed darts; and one generation, notably a pastor, used an urn in his families crest instead of the stag's head.
It is mentionable that some believe that the Lowle Coat of Arms fell into abeyance when Percival Lowle and his sons emigrated to Massachusetts.
They were still subjects of the Crown and its favor until the colonies declared Independence from Britain in 1776 and were entitled to bear their Coat of Arms.
John Lowell was the catalyst in getting the Lowell family into cohesion regarding the spelling of the surname sometime after 1721.
Some spelled their surname Lowel, Lowle, Lowell, Lowl, and some spelled it Louell, and Louel even after arriving in the new world.
Spelling was so poorly controlled that some early wills show one son with the name Lowle while another son is Lowel and the wife as Lowell all in the same document.
He may well have influenced many Lowells in America to be consistent, but documentation shows that Lowles in England started spelling their name Lowell around this time as well.
This suggests that the proliferation of literacy and a trend to standardize the English language caused members of the family on both sides of the Atlantic to adopt the phonetic spelling.
The culture of Dvaravati was based around moated cities, the earliest of which appears to be U Thong in what is now Suphan Buri Province.
A Khmer inscription dated 937 documents a line of princes of Chanasapura started by a Bhagadatta and ended by a Sundaravarman and his sons Narapatisimhavarman and Mangalavarman.
But at that time, the 10th century, Dvaravati began to come under the influence of the Khmer Empire and central Thailand was ultimately invaded by King Suryavarman II in the first half of the 12th century.
It might simply have been a loose gathering of chiefdoms rather than a centralised state, expanding from the coastal area of the upper peninsula to the riverine region of Chao Phraya River.
The three largest settlements appear to have been at Nakhon Pathom, Suphanburi, Praak Srigacha, with additional centers at U Thong, Chansen, Khu Bua, Pong Tuk, Muang Phra Rot, Lopburi, Si Mahasod, Kamphaeng Saen, Dong Lakhorn, U-Taphao, Ban Khu Muang, and Sri Thep.
Newly dated typical Dvaravati cultural items from the site of U-Thong indicate that the starting point of the tradition of Dvaravati culture may possibly date as far back to 200 CE.
Archaeological, art historical, and epigraphic (inscriptions) evidence all indicate, however, that the main period of Dvaravati spanned the seventh to ninth centuries.
Dvaravati itself was heavily influenced by Indian culture, and played an important role in introducing Buddhism and particularly Buddhist art to the region.
Votive tablets have also been found, also moulds for tin amulets, pottery, terracotta trays, and a bronze chandelier, earring, bells and cymbals.
The highway runs southeast–northwest from an interchange with the New York State Thruway (I-90) northwest of Schenectady to another junction with the Thruway south of the city and passes through Downtown Schenectady along the way.
Most of I-890 is six lanes wide, including a section that runs above an industrial section of Schenectady on an elevated highway.
The section of I-890 west of downtown Schenectady was mostly built over what was once part of New York State Route 5S (NY 5S).
I-890 was constructed in stages during the 1960s and 1970s, and NY 5S was gradually cut back to its current terminus west of Schenectady as more pieces of I-890 were completed.
The highway is one of four Interstate Highways in New York to use distance-based exit numbering, the result of a New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) experiment from the 1970s.
I-890 begins at the toll booth for exit 26 of the New York State Thruway in the Schenectady County town of Rotterdam.
It initially heads to the east, connecting to NY 890 and NY 5S by way of a modified trumpet interchange that directly feeds into the Thruway junction.
At this point, I-890 takes over the four-lane right-of-way established by NY 890 to the north and follows the Mohawk River (Erie Canal) and CSX Transportation's Selkirk Subdivision rail line southeast toward Schenectady.
The first of I-890 passes through mostly undeveloped, wooded areas, a trend that finally ends as the highway curves east to meet the north end of NY 337 at exit 2 near the Rotterdam Square shopping mall.
Continuing on, I-890 follows the Mohawk River along the northern edge of General Electric's Schenectady plant, connecting to the facility by way of two separate exits serving different parts of the complex.
Not far from the GE plant is downtown Schenectady, which the now six-lane I-890 largely bypasses to the south and west on an elevated highway passing over a mostly industrial section of the city.
The section closest to the city center runs past by the campus of Schenectady County Community College and provides panoramic views of downtown Schenectady.
I-890 heads south from downtown, crossing over the Delaware and Hudson Railway and CSX's Hudson Subdivision before finally connecting to downtown by way of Broadway at exit 5.
Past Broadway, the elevated highway comes to an end as I-890 heads southeastward into a dense residential area on a plateau overlooking the city.
The homes are not visible from I-890, however, as the freeway is lined on both sides by a thick line of trees serving as noise barriers.
The residential section of Schenectady is served by a single exit for Michigan Avenue, a local street that connects to NY 146 at a junction two blocks north of I-890.
The state route joins I-890, following the highway as it narrows to four lanes and crosses back over the Hudson Subdivision rail line.
I-890 and NY 7 connect to High Bridge Road (County Route 48) at exit 8, the last junction in a residential area and the last in Schenectady County.
Exit 9, located just south of the Albany County line in a lightly developed commercial area, serves as the end of NY 7's its wrong-way concurrency with I-890; the southbound exit also links to NY 146 by way of a long ramp connecting to the state route.
I-890 ends a short distance south of the exit at the toll booths for exit 25 of the New York State Thruway.
However, because of how the exits are spaced along I-890, the exit numbers end up being mostly sequential anyway, with the only evidence of distance based numbering being the existence of exit 4C.
I-890 is one of four Interstate Highways in New York that first utilized milepost-based exit numbering in contrast to the sequential exit numbering used elsewhere in New York.
The original riverside roadway along the southern bank of the Mohawk River in western Schenectady was designated as part of NY 5S in the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York.
NY 5S entered the Schenectady area on River Road and followed River and Rice Roads and Erie Boulevard into downtown Schenectady, where it ended at NY 5.
The first section of I-890 to be completed was the portion from New York State Thruway exit 25 southeast of Schenectady to Altamont Avenue (NY 146), which opened to traffic as I-890 .
NY 5S was cut back to I-890 exit 2 in the mid-1970s, then to its modern eastern terminus in the late 1980s following a reconfiguration of the interchange linking I-890 to New York State Thruway exit 26.
He also served as vicemayor of Santo Domingo from 1994 to 1998, and as mayor of Santo Domingo from 1998 to 2002.
When Ventura Soriano appeared for the first time in the TV show: La TV busca una estrella, that was broadcast Friday night at seven, they rang the bell.
Thereupon he won a lot of prizes in the devotees programs, until he was finally rewarded with the much desired scholarship which the broadcasting company, property of José Arismendy Trujillo Molina, gave for young talents.
In 1963, Johnny Ventura was recruited by the musical director Papa Molina to join La Super Orquesta San José, which he was the director at that time.
In order to explain psychological phenomena encountered in humans, he starts with the consideration of most basic organisms and how they are different from inanimate matter.
First of all, any organism may be treated as an autonomous but open system, separated from its environment by means of a boundary (skin or cell membrane).
By contrast, inanimate matter does not have the ability to maintain or lower its negentropy, because spontaneous natural processes are always accompanied by entropy generation.
Information metabolism may be generally seen as the exchange of signals between the organism and its environment, but also as the processing of signals originating in the organism.
For all organisms these goals are predicated on two biological laws: the first law states that an organism must be oriented towards its own survival.
In case of humans, the connection between the goals of various everyday actions and two biological laws is less direct, nevertheless these laws still motivate us.
Humans are able to project themselves into the future, think abstractly and consciously and therefore their goals may possess transcendent and symbolic character.
The structure of the body and locations of various receptors are evolutionally adapted to assure isolation of the most relevant signals from the surrounding environment.
At the level of signals reaching the field of subjective experience, attention is actively directed (with the help of emotions) towards those related with two biological laws.
Above biological and emotional levels of signal interpretation, there is the frame of social and cultural norms of the community, which serves as reference for conscious decisions.
If the stimulus was evaluated negatively in the first phase, then it is likely that the executed reaction will take the form of escape, fight or immobilization.
The separation from reality in the second phase of information metabolism is greater in complex animals and reaches its maximum in humans.
In the case of humans, the number of possible functional structures associated with the first phase of information metabolism is limited.
They include predictions regarding the behavior of objects in the environment as well as the planned sequence of actions of the individual.
It depends on the nature of the stimulus and on the physical condition of the organism in the moment of perception.
Selection of an attitude in the first phase (positive or negative) limits the character of functional structures generated in the second phase.
Although typically there are many possible ways of reacting, they are limited by the emotional background appearing in the first phase.
This effort is rewarded by positive emotional state – the feeling of satisfaction associated with the overcoming of obstacles and advancing towards important goals.
They are more willing to engage in the exchange of information with the environment and to undertake tasks associated with the integrative effort.
The presence of friendly and safe maternal environment during childhood is crucial for the development of the general positive attitude towards the environment.
Life may be seen as conflict between two orders – the order of the individual and the order of the environment.
In pathological cases, the individual may aim to gain absolute control over their environment, or quite contrarily, to fully submit to some external power (i.e.
The need for an absolute control cannot be fulfilled, therefore it frequently takes the form of fantasy, which sometimes becomes indistinguishable from reality (e.g.
Many individuals submit to revolutionary movements, promising a utopian future, and to social ideologies which offer simple answers to complex life problems.
In his reflections on information metabolism, Kępiński tried to explain psychological mechanisms which made the atrocities of the Second World War possible.
It is traditionally assumed that functional structures associated with the subjective experience of emotions and moods (the first phase of information metabolism) are controlled by phylogenetically older parts of the brain (diencephalon and rhinencephalon), while those generated in the second phase of information metabolism, subjectively experienced as thoughts, are associated with the neocortex.
The processing of signals in the remaining part of the nervous system is binary (the response of a neuron may be twofold: null – no response, or 1 – when the action potential is released).
Because of the interest in his work, his most important books have been reissued several times (recently in 2012-2015 by Wydawictwo Literackie ).
The controversy was related with the fact that some elements of the theory cannot be verified by the scientific method because it is hard to design appropriate experiments.
In response to these objections, psychiatrist Jacek Bomba pointed out that information metabolism was never meant to be a scientific theory, but rather an anthropological model, which accurately integrates the findings of neurophysiology, psychology, social science and medicine.
Philosopher Jakub Zawiła-Niedźwiecki noted that current reading of Kępiński has to correct for his work mostly being pre-scientific from before the evidence-based medicine, modern philosophy of the mind and cognitive psychology era.
the proposition that information metabolism has its control center (the homunculus argument) and the view that brain is only used in 30%.
Inspired by Kępiński's work and Jungian typology, Augustinavičiūtė proposed her theory of information metabolism in human mind and society, known as Socionics.
Harrington Lake () is the summer residence and all-season retreat of the Prime Minister of Canada, and also the name of the land which surrounds it.
The property is located near Meech Lake—where the Meech Lake Accord was negotiated in 1987—approximately 35 kilometres northwest of Ottawa, in Gatineau Park, amidst the Gatineau Hills in Quebec.
The property is not open to the public, but the Mackenzie King Estate, the retreat of Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King at Kingsmere, is a tourist attraction located 2 kilometres south in the park.
The retreat is accessed by Chemin de Lac Meech with a gatehouse, staffed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Protective Policing Service, at the driveway of the retreat.
The Mousseau family had built a farm on the shores of the lake, which remained in the family for several decades.
In the 1920s, Lieutenant Colonel Cameron Macpherson Edwards, a member of a prominent lumbering family in Ottawa, inherited part of the property from his uncle, Senator William Cameron Edwards (who had owned 24 Sussex Drive).
He also ordered the demolition of the mill buildings at Harrington Lake, and replaced them with a 16-room cottage that was designed in the Colonial Revival style, very common in the 1920s according to the NCC, but with the addition of large fieldstone chimneys.
In 1951, the lake and the property (including neighbouring land belonging to William Duncan Herridge and Stanley Healey) were acquired by the King in Right of Canada to build up preserves of natural areas around the capital.
In 1959, supporters of Prime Minister John Diefenbaker suggested that he needed a quiet place to go fishing, not too far from Ottawa.
Later that year, Harrington Lake was chosen as the site for an official country residence and the buildings were formally designated as a secure residence for Canada’s prime ministers.
Initially, Campbell took up residence at Harrington Lake so that her predecessor, Brian Mulroney, could continue to reside at 24 Sussex Drive until renovations on his new private residence in Montreal were completed.
Once Mulroney vacated 24 Sussex, Campbell had not finished moving to that address before her party was defeated in the 1993 election.
Before the 18th century and British colonisation, the Toda coexisted locally with other ethnic communities, including the Kota, Badaga and Kurumba, in a loose caste-like society, in which the Toda were the top ranking.
Toda religion features the sacred buffalo; consequently, rituals are performed for all dairy activities as well as for the ordination of dairymen-priests.
The religious and funerary rites provide the social context in which complex poetic songs about the cult of the buffalo are composed and chanted.
Fraternal polyandry in traditional Toda society was fairly common; however, this practice has now been totally abandoned, as has female infanticide.
During the last quarter of the 20th century, some Toda pasture land was lost due to outsiders using it for agriculture or afforestation by the State Government of Tamil Nadu.
Since the early 21st century, Toda society and culture have been the focus of an international effort at culturally sensitive environmental restoration.
The Toda lands are now a part of The Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO-designated International Biosphere Reserve; their territory is declared UNESCO World Heritage Site.
According to M. B. Emeneau in 1984, the successive decennial Census of India figures for the Toda are: 1871 (693), 1881 (675), 1891 (739), 1901 (807), 1911 (676) (corrected from 748), 1951 (879), 1961 (759), 1971 (812).
Another factor in the uncertainty in the figures is the declared or undeclared inclusion or exclusion of Christian Todas by the various enumerators ...
Giving a figure between 700 and 800 is highly impressionistic, and may for the immediate present and future be pessimistic, since public health efforts applied to the community seem to be resulting in an increased birth rate and consequently, one would expect, in an increased population figure.
Physical anthropologist Egon Freiherr von Eickstedt firstly described the Todas as being South Indid, therefore connecting them to ancient Proto Dravidian population.
DNA studies in the early 21st century showed that the Toda and Kota share genes which distinguish them from the other Nilgiri Hill Tribes.
They once practiced fraternal polyandry, a practice in which a woman marries all the brothers of a family, but no longer do so.
The hut has a tiny entrance at the front – about 3 feet (90 cm) wide, 3 feet (90 cm) tall, through which people must crawl to enter the interior.
The Todas are vegetarians and do not eat meat, eggs that can hatch, or fish (although some villagers do eat fish).
Linguists have classified Toda (along with its neighbour Kota) as a member of the southern subgroup of the historical family proto-South-Dravidian.
Although many Toda abandoned their traditional distinctive huts for houses made of concrete, in the early 21st century, a movement developed to build the traditional barrel-vaulted huts.
Corgi Toys (trademark) is the name of a range of die-cast toy vehicles produced by Mettoy Playcraft Ltd. in the United Kingdom.
The Mettoy (Metal Toy) company was founded in 1933 by German émigré Philip Ullmann in Northampton, England, where he was later joined by South African-born German Arthur Katz, who had previously worked for Ullmann at his toy company Tipp and Co of Nuremberg.
They decided to market a range of toy vehicles as competition to Meccano's Dinky Toys model vehicles, which had dominated the British market for many years.
Corgi Toys were introduced in the UK in July 1956 and were manufactured in Swansea, Wales, for 27 years before the company went into liquidation.
In 1989, the management sold the Corgi brand to Mattel and the factory was retained under the name of Microlink Industries Ltd.
Some of the best known and most popular models were of cars made famous in film and television such as the Batmobile, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 – which remains the largest selling toy car ever produced.
Although the largest single vehicle type featured in the Corgi Toys range were models of cars from manufacturers around the world, this article sub-divides vehicles into genres, wherever possible, to allow a more detailed look at the variety of models produced by the company.
The body material was soon changed to die cast zinc and it was refitted with cast wheels and moulded rubber tyres.
The name 'Corgi Toys' was chosen by Philip Ullmann in honour of the company's new home, taken from the Welsh breed of dog, the Corgi, and the iconic Corgi dog logo branded the new range.
Six family saloon cars; Ford Consul (200/200M), Austin A50 Cambridge (201/201M), Morris Cowley (202/202M), Vauxhall Velox (203/203M), Rover 90 (204/204M), Riley Pathfinder (205/205M) and Hillman Husky (206/206M), and two sports cars; Austin-Healey 100 (300) and Triumph TR2 (301).
Initially, all models were issued in free-rolling form, or with friction drive motors, with the exception of the heavy commercials which would have been too bulky and the sports cars whose low slung bodies would not be able to accommodate the motors.
The Mechanical versions, as they were known, were indicated by an 'M' suffix to the model number and were available in different colour schemes.
Mechanical versions did not sell particularly well, partly due to a significantly higher purchase price, and were phased out in 1960 with Ford Thunderbird (214M) the last of the line.
British cars dominated the releases over the next few years reflecting the company's concentration on the home market, but by 1957 new markets were being explored and the first European car to be modelled was the Citroën DS19 (210) issued in December of that year.
The first American car, the Studebaker Golden Hawk (211/211M), was released in February 1958 and by the early 1960s the Corgi range was being exported widely, finding particular popularity in Europe, Australia, Canada, the United States of America and areas of southeast Asia such as Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong, and gradually more foreign vehicles were included to appeal to these new markets.
Gradually the models became more sophisticated with the addition of such features as 'Glidamatic' spring suspension and a detailed interior on the Renault Floride (222) in October 1959, and the fibre-optic style 'Trans-o-Lite' illuminating lights system first seen on the Superior Ambulance on Cadillac Chassis (437) in October 1962.
The early type of interior which was known as 'vac-formed', was produced by stretching a thin sheet of acetate over a mould by means of a vacuum, and lasted for three years until being replaced by the crisper, more detailed injection-moulded type first seen in the Thames 'Airborne' caravan (420) in February 1962.
The Corgi design team came up with the first model with an opening feature in February 1960, the Aston Martin DB4 (218) which had an opening bonnet.
Steerable front wheels, jewelled headlights and rear lights and an opening boot complete with spare wheel were added on the Bentley Continental Sports Saloon (224) in April 1961, and by October 1963 with the release of the new levels of authenticity were reached.
This model featured a number of 'firsts' with not only an opening bonnet, but also opening doors and boot, and a detailed interior with a rear view mirror, folding front seats, and even a model corgi dog sitting on the rear parcel shelf.
At introduction, the Ghia sold for eight shillings and sixpence, and even at this relatively high price around 1.7 million were sold before being withdrawn in 1969.
Another popular model was the Jaguar Mark X (#238; 1962-1967) — over 1.1 million were sold, and hardly any other model was released in as many colours.
In 1964 Corgi diversified into the adult collector market and released a range of highly detailed models of vintage cars called 'Corgi Classics'.
Initial releases were a 1927 Bentley finished in green (9001) or red (9002), an open 1915 Ford Model T coloured black (9011) and a version finished in blue with the hood raised (9013), a 1910 Daimler 38 finished in red (9021) and a 1911 Renault 12/16 finished in lavender (9031) or pale yellow (9032).
Two years later, a 1912 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost coloured silver (9041) was added to the range, which was updated in 1970 to feature American TV stars The Hardy Boys, discussed later in this article.
The Corgi Classics range had been discontinued by 1969, although the name was later revived for a range of adult collectable models in the 1980s.
Early models in the new 'Corgi Major' range were issued in sturdy two piece boxes featuring the blue and yellow colour scheme that had recently been adopted across the entire Corgi range, later models in the 1960s using clear fronted packaging in line with the rest of the Corgi Toys range.
The Carrimore Low Loader (1100) was the next release in April 1958 which was a low loader trailer attached to the Bedford cab and was followed by the similar Machinery Carrier low loader (1104) in September 1958.
A large earth mover which was being widely used in the construction of the M1, the UK's first motorway, the Euclid factory was only two miles from Corgi headquarters which allowed easy access to all the data required to produce a very accurate model.
April 1959 saw the release of the Bedford Fuel Tanker in the red livery of 'Mobilgas' (1110) and this model was revamped in pale blue and white as the Bedford Milk Tanker (1129) in May 1962, and both were later re-issued with a more modern Bedford TK cab.
The Midland Red Motor Express Coach (1120), issued in March 1960, was a model of the latest high speed coach for the motorway age fitted with a turbo-charged engine and capable of 100 mph, and a model of the pioneering SR.N1 hovercraft (1119) was released in June 1960.
In November 1962 the new Bedford TK cab unit was also fitted to the existing Carrimore Car Transporter (1105) and was also included in a new Car Transporter Gift Set (GS28) in December 1963 along with four cars; Ford Consul Classic (234), Mercedes-Benz 220 SE (230), Renault Floride (222) and Fiat 2100 (232).
The Ecurie Ecosse Racing Transporter (1126) issued in October 1961 was a racing car transporter custom built for the Scottish motor racing team Ecurie Ecosse, with room for three cars and an on-board workshop.
The Corgi model featured operational ramps, a sliding door revealing the workshop complete with a miniature lathe, operational steering, and was finished in authentic dark blue.
Racing Transporter Set (GS16) was also released in October 1961 featuring the Ecurie Ecosse transporter along with three racing cars; Vanwall (150), BRM (156) and [Lotus XI] (151).
This model fire engine was based on a Bedford TK chassis and featured an extendable centre-hinged arm with rescue cradle complete with fire fighter figure holding a die-cast water cannon which could be manoeuvred by means of a rotating base and wheels and gears.
The Ford H Cab and Detachable Trailer (1137) was an American truck produced by Corgi to appeal to the lucrative US market and featured a forward tilting cab revealing a highly detailed engine, realistic moveable door mirrors and die-cast metal air horns and side ladders.
The large box trailer featured sliding side doors, opening rear doors and was finished in the blue and silver 'Express Services' livery.
The leap in quality of this model proved that the Major range had entered a new era, and it continued to sell well until 1972.
The new Ford cab was used again in April 1966 with a new version of the Carrimore Car Transporter (1138) which had been re-designed to carry up to six Corgi cars, and which also featured in Gift Set 41 along with six cars; Ford Cortina Estate (440), Rover 2000 (252), Hillman Imp (251), Mini Cooper De-Luxe (249), Austin Seven (225) and Mini Cooper Monte Carlo 1966 (321).
This gift set was initially only available by mail order but was finally issued in time for Christmas in December 1967.
The Holmes Wrecker Recovery Vehicle (1142) issued in May 1967 was also based on the Ford H Series tractor unit, and featured twin boom die-cast recovery cranes with hooks attached to cotton lines that could be extended by winding a pair of spare wheels attached to the sides of the vehicle, and also included were two model mechanics previously seen with the 'Express Services' truck.
The American LaFrance Aerial Rescue Truck (1143) was added to the Major range in October 1968 and was a highly detailed model of a tiller/ladder truck (or hook and ladder) from the United States of America.
It featured an extendable ladder on a rotating base complete with plastic ladder extensions and model firemen and has recently been re-issued by the modern Corgi company in a number of authentic liveries.
The Carrimore Car Transporter Mark IV using the recently introduced Scammell cab was also released in April 1969 and a gift set (GS48) featuring the new transporter and six cars; MGC GT (345), Mini Cooper Monte Carlo 1967 (339), Sunbeam Imp Monte Carlo 1967 (340), Mini Cooper S Magnifique (334), Morris Mini Minor (226) and The Saint's Volvo P1800 (258) soon followed.
By October 1970 the Carrimore Car Transporter Mark V (1146) had grown to three decks and Gift Set 20 again featured the transporter complete with six cars now fitted with Whizzwheels; Lancia Fulvia Zagato (372), Marcos 3 Litre (377), MGC GT (378), Ford Capri 3 Litre (311), The Saint's Volvo P1800 (201) and Pontiac Firebird (343).
The colour schemes applied to some cars in the Car Transporter Gift Sets were unique to models included in these sets, such as the MGC GT (345) finished in orange, and today are particularly collectable.
The Scammell Handyman Ferrymasters Truck (1147) issued in December 1969, proved to be the last new application for the Scammell cab and was finished in the authentic yellow and white livery of the Ferrymasters haulage company.
The Major range continued into the 1970s but along with the Corgi Toys range suffered somewhat from the constraints on development budgets that the company was forced to make.
The Mercedes-Benz Unimog and snowplough (1150) was released in February 1971 and another American cab unit was introduced in October 1971.
A new Berliet cab was introduced in May 1974 as the Crane Fruehauf Discharge Dumper (1102), a large articulated aggregate carrier for use on construction sites, and the new cab was also used as the Berliet Wrecker Truck (1144) in March 1975 updating the aforementioned Holmes Wrecker, which had been in the range since 1967.
The Pathfinder Airport Crash Truck (1103) released in September 1974 had won the Design Council Engineering Award for its manufacturer Chubb, and the Corgi miniature included an internal water tank allowing water to be squirted through die-cast water cannons by pumping a rubber bulb.
The Chipperfield's Circus Crane Truck (1121) was the first of the highly successful and much sought after range of Chipperfield's Circus vehicles produced by Corgi Toys during the 1960s, and was issued in October 1960.
It was based on a large International truck fitted with a metal crane, hook and pulley, and painted in the traditional Chipperfield's Circus livery of red and blue, as were all the models in the range.
It was followed by the Circus Animal Cage Trailer (1123) in January 1961 which featured two two-part opening doors revealing a large cage with metal bars.
An updated version of the Karrier Bantam Mobile Butcher Shop was introduced in January 1962 as the Circus Booking Office (426).
In April 1962 the existing Land Rover 109 model was issued along with a trailer carrying a large cage and a model elephant as Chipperfield's Circus Land Rover and Elephant Cage on Trailer (GS19).
The Chipperfield's Circus Vehicles Set (GS23) was issued in September 1962 featuring all the Chipperfield's models released to date, and today this is one of the most desirable gift sets issued by the company.
The Chipperfield's Circus Horse Transporter (1130) was released in October 1962 featuring the new Bedford TK tractor unit and an articulated trailer with models of circus horses, and in June 1964 the Bedford TK tractor unit was adapted with a large high-sided open top 'wooden' box as the Giraffe Transporter (503) complete with models of a mother and baby giraffe.
The Land Rover, which had been adapted as a 'Vote For Corgi' campaigning vehicle as a tie-in with the 1964 UK General Election, was re-issued in September 1965 in the red and blue colours of Chipperfield's as the Chipperfield's Circus Parade Vehicle (487) with a clown and chimpanzee replacing the political canvassers of the original, and a 'The Circus is Here' banner across the bonnet.
The Chipperfield's Circus Menagerie Transporter (1139) which was released in October 1968 featured a new Scammell Handyman cab and a flatbed articulated trailer which carried a load of three clear plastic boxes designed to represent cages, each containing models of lions, bears and tigers.
The Chipperfield's Circus Crane and Cage (1144), issued in April 1969, again featured the Scammell tractor unit but modified using the Holmes Wrecker platform with a large crane mounted on a pivoting base to the rear, and included another of the clear plastic animal cages with a model rhinoceros inside.
The Chipperfield's Performing Poodles Pick Up (511) was an update of the earlier Kennel Club Wagon (itself an adaptation of the Chevrolet Impala first issued in 1960) and included model poodles and trainer.
This large set included models of the new 1/36 scale Land Rover Estate and Chevrolet Van which had been updated to become a parade vehicle and mobile booking office respectively.
Also included were an animal cage trailer and models of horses and an elephant and figures of a clown and a ringmaster, together with various Big Top accessories.
Another circus themed release was the Berliet tractor unit which had been adapted to become a human cannonball launcher complete with die-cast cannon attached to the rear and a human cannonball figure that could be fired from the cannon by means of depressing a button.
This was followed in December 1958 by a BRM Grand Prix car (106) also with green paintwork, and both cars featured in the Racing Car Set (GS5) from 1958, along with the Lotus XI Le Mans racing car (151) from July 1958.
Finished in an authentic British Racing Green and carrying racing number 1, it represented Jim Clark's 1963 world championship winning Lotus 25, and in 1967 it was joined by the Cooper-Maserati F1 car (156) painted blue.
The Lotus-Climax and the Cooper-Maserati were re-engineered in 1969 to include steerable front wheels operated by moving the driver from side to side, and a high level rear wing in the style of real Formula 1 cars of the time.
A Lotus Racing Car set (GS37) was issued in August 1966 containing the Lotus-Climax F1 car, two Lotus Elans and a Volkswagen breakdown tow truck.
Another Ferrari was issued in February 1965, the Ferrari Berlinetta (314) (Ferrari 250 LM) which had competed at the 1964 Le Mans 24 Hour race, and in May 1967 another successful sports racer, the Porsche Carrera 6 (330) (Porsche 906), was released.
In 1972 Corgi worked with the newly formed Grand Prix Association to produce a series of 1/36 scale Formula 1 racing cars.
The first was the Yardley McLaren M19A (151) driven by New Zealander and 1967 World Champion Denny Hulme which was followed by the Brooke Bond Oxo Surtees TS9 driven by 1964 World Champion John Surtees (150), later followed by a Surtees TS9B in the livery of Italian sponsors 'Pagnossin', driven by Andrea de Adamich (153).
These were the first models produced in the larger 1/36 scale instead of the familiar O scale preferred by Dinky and Corgi up to this date (varying between 1/43 to about 1/50 for larger vehicles).
Within the following five years virtually the complete Corgi range would be replaced by vehicles in 1/36 scale, much to the dismay of adult collectors.
1973 saw the release of Jacky Ickx's Ferrari 312 B2 (152) and the John Player Special Lotus 72 (154) of World Champion (1972 and 1974) Emerson Fittipaldi or Ronnie Peterson, and in 1974 the Shadow F1 car was issued in both UOP livery (155) as driven by Jackie Oliver, and as Graham Hill's Embassy Shadow (156).
Scottish multiple World Champion Jackie Stewart's Elf Tyrrell F1 car (158) was also released along with the STP Patrick Eagle (159) driven to victory in the 1973 Indianapolis 500 by Gordon Johncock.
The final two models in the series were the Hesketh 308 F1 car (190) driven by the then becoming English World Champion James Hunt issued in 1976, and the six wheeled Tyrrell Project 34 driven by Frenchman Patrick Depailler issued in Elf livery (161) in 1977 and First National City Travellers Checks livery (162) which was released in 1978.
Two Formula 1 cars were also issued in 1/18 scale, the John Player Special Lotus 72 (190) in 1974 and the Marlboro McLaren (191) in 1975.
The Proteus-Campbell Bluebird Record Car (153) was issued in September 1960 and was modelled on the vehicle with which Donald Campbell was to set a new Land Speed Record on 17 July 1964.
The Corgi design team were given extensive access to the real car in order to produce their scale model, even receiving paint samples to enable them to create an exact colour match.
In January 1964, Corgi updated the existing Citroën DS Safari to become a promotional vehicle for the 1964 Winter Olympics (475), complete with a skier figure, four model skis and two model ski poles.
Painted white and with a decal of the Olympic rings logo on the bonnet, this model then reverted to a 'Corgi Ski Club' version the following year.
It was revamped again in November 1967 for the 1968 Winter Olympics (499), this time painted white with a blue roof, and with a model toboggan on the roof rack along with a figure of a tobogganist and a pair of skis and poles, and a stylish 'Grenoble Olympiade 1968' decal on the bonnet.
The final version introduced in 1970 was an Alpine Rescue vehicle (510), painted white with a red roof and which came complete with figures of a St Bernard dog and rescuer, and today is the rarest of the versions.
By following the event closely, Corgi Toys were able to issue a model of the winning car shortly after the end of the rally Often there was not even enough time to produce a unique box for the new model, which had to make do with a hastily produced sticker applied to a standard issue box for a similar model.
The 1964 winner, Paddy Hopkirk's Mini Cooper S (317) released in February 1964, featured jewelled headlights and a rally lamp on the roof, and was finished in the BMC team colours of red with a white roof with authentic Monte Carlo Rally transfers.
All three of these models were available in the Monte Carlo Gift Set (GS38) also issued in April 1965; a highly prized set for today's collector.
Another Mini Cooper S in Monte Carlo Rally finish was issued the January of following year complete with two jewelled rally lamps in the grille and the signatures of the driver Timo Mäkinen and his co-driver Paul Easter printed on the roof.
A Hillman Imp was also issued as a Monte Carlo Rally car (328), finished in blue with a white flash along the sides and two jewelled rally lamps, and was driven by an all-female team of Rosemary Smith and Valerie Domleo in the 1966 event.
1967 was the final year that Corgi issued Monte Carlo Rally cars, and the famous Mini Cooper S (339) appeared yet again in March, this time with four jewelled rally lamps in the grill, a sump guard and two spare wheels on a roof rack borrowed from the 'Surfing' Mini Traveller (485) from 1965.
Another Mini Cooper S (333) was released in February 1967 carrying the same red and white paintwork, but as campaigned in the 1967 RAC/Sun rally by Tony Fall and Mike Wood, along with another Rover 2000 (322) from the same event finished in white with a matt black bonnet.
The final rally car was the Sunbeam Imp (340) issued in March 1967, which featured four jewelled rally lamps and was finished in blue with a white flash and front panel.
This model featured an opening boot and engine cover and steerable front wheels operated by a spare tyre on the roof of the car.
Three years later, in July 1969, Corgi issued the winning Hillman Hunter from the 1968 London to Sydney Marathon (302), complete with Take-Off Wheels, roof mounted tool box and a plastic kangaroo guard across the front of the car.
This time the packaging included a model kangaroo and details of the event, and in February 1970 a model of the unique 4wd Ford Capri 3-Litre rally car (303) driven by Roger Clark was released.
This, in fact, was an authentic model of John Morton's 300 bhp BRE-Datsun 240Z which won the 1970 and 1971 SCCA class C/P championships.
The Ferrari 365GTB/4 Daytona as raced at the 1973 Le Mans 24 Hours race, with JCB and Corgi sponsorship (324), was released in June 1973 along with another in white/red/blue livery inspired by a 1972 Le Mans entry (323).
In the early 1970s Corgi Toys issued a range of dragsters in response not only to the increased interest in this form of motorsport in the UK, focused on the Santa Pod Raceway in Northamptonshire, but also the attention brought to these vehicles by Mattel's Hot Wheels.
The first to be released was the 'Quartermaster' Dragster (162) in April 1971, closely followed by the 'Commuter' Dragster (161) in June.
Modifications allowed the body to be hinged from the rear, and by pressing a button secreted in the front bumper the entire body rose, by means of a spring, to reveal a roll cage and driver within and a detailed V8 engine.
This was an update of the existing Volvo P1800 model that had been issued in 1962, now finished in white and featuring The Saint's logo on the bonnet and a model of The Saint in the drivers seat.
However, with the second in the range of film and TV related models Corgi unwittingly revolutionised the British toy car industry.
Despite the fact that the casting of the new James Bond car was based heavily on the earlier Aston Martin DB4 model from 1960, it was the special features marked out this model.
There were machine guns in the front wings which popped out at the touch of a button, a bulletproof shield which popped up to protect the rear screen when the exhaust pipes were pressed, and an ejector seat which fired through a roof panel which opened by the touch of another button.
The model was released in time for the 1965 Christmas market and the Corgi factory found it was unable to keep up with demand, leading to coverage in the British press of stories of toy shop shelves being cleared of this new must-have toy in minutes.
The model remains in production to this day in an updated form and has gone on to sell more than seven million examples in all its various versions.
The two figures popped in and out of the car windows by pressing down on a model periscope protruding through the roof.
Although the series was not screened in the UK until years later, the model proved to be very popular and it went on to sell over two million examples.
A new casting of the James Bond Aston Martin DB5 (270) was released in February 1968, this time featuring the correct DB5 taillights (instead of the DB4 taillight clusters on the 261) and authentic silver paintwork.
The original had been painted gold after the Corgi design team decided that silver painted pre-production models looked as if the metal bodies were unpainted.
The new model now featured tyre slashers and revolving number plates whilst retaining all the features of the original, and early examples packaged in a short lived bubble-pack are even more valuable today than the earlier 1965 release.
November 1968 saw the release of the flying car Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'(266) from the successful film of the same name that had been in cinemas throughout that summer, and which featured plastic wings that popped out from the car's side skirts when the hand brake was pushed and detailed miniatures of the car's inventor Caractacus Potts, Truly Scrumptious and the children Jeremy and Jemima.
Film and television related models continued to be issued in February 1969 with the Yellow Submarine (803) from the animated Beatles film of the same name.
This model featured two hatches that lifted at the touch of buttons on the side of the craft to allow models of the Fab Four John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr to pop into view.
Early examples featured a white hatch to the front and a yellow hatch to the rear in keeping with the colour scheme of the original, before both hatches were coloured red on later models.
A newly tooled Commer 2500 mini bus body was used for the Samuelson Mobile Camera Van (479) issued in December 1967 which included a detailed cast metal model of a Panavision film camera and plastic cameraman on a metal plinth that could be either attached to the vehicle's roof rack or to the front or rear of the van for tracking shots.
This gift set featured a Renault 16 car with the tailgate removed and a platform extension fixed at the rear to accommodate the Panavision film camera model and cameraman.
As the decade progressed some of the film and television related models became less authentic due to the lack of expensive licensing deals, and more a product of the imagination of the Corgi design team.
A 'Batbike' was released in 1978 featuring a figure of 'Batman' sitting astride a modified motorbike which fired two rockets, along with a series of vehicles that were issued as the result of obtaining the Marvel Comics license.
Many of these later film and television related releases were not models of authentic vehicles as were the earlier issues from the 1960s, but merely existing models updated to take advantage of recently acquired licensing deals.
In May 1978 a new version of the James Bond Aston Martin DB5 (271) was issued in 1/36 scale which featured the operational gimmicks of the 1965 original.
By the mid-1970s some of the most popular series shown on British television were American police dramas, and Corgi decided to model several of the vehicles featured in these shows.
The first emergency vehicles produced by Corgi Toys were issued as part of the launch range in July 1956, and were based on the Bedford Utilicon light commercial.
It was issued in red as a 'Fire Dept' vehicle (405M) and in green as an 'Army Fire Service' vehicle (405), both with a tin plate ladder attached to the roof of the vehicle.
These were followed in June 1958 by the company's first police vehicle; a Riley Pathfinder patrol car (209), finished in black and with a die cast police sign fitted to the roof complete with siren and bell.
In January 1959 a Jaguar 2.4 Fire Chief car (213) was added to the range, finished in red and with a nylon aerial, crest transfers on the front doors and the same cast sign as the Pathfinder but modified to read 'Fire Chief'.
The first American emergency vehicle to be produced by Corgi Toys was the Chevrolet Impala State Patrol car (223) introduced in December 1959.
By 1959 the M1, the UK's first motorway, had opened to the public and this prompted the introduction of a new breed of powerful police vehicle able to carry a large payload.
The Ford Zodiac Motorway Patrol Car (419) was introduced in August 1960 and was finished in white with a plastic aerial fitted to the front wing, a blue light attached to the roof, a 'Police' decal on the bonnet and a vac-formed interior detailing rescue equipment in the luggage compartment and in June 1962 the Oldsmobile Super 88 County Sheriff car (237) was added to the range.
The Superior Ambulance on Cadillac Chassis (437) introduced in October 1962 was from the latest generation of models and featured red and white paintwork, a working battery operated flashing light on the roof and four trans-o-lite fibre optic lights in each corner of the roof that flashed in unison with the main bulb.
In January 1963 the existing Chevrolet Impala was introduced as a Fire Chief car (439), painted red with a light on the roof, crests decals on the doors and a 'Fire Chief' transfer on the bonnet, and was also updated with a red and white finish in 1966.
In June 1963 the Commer Police Van (464) was released, painted blue with a battery operated flashing light on the roof, barred side windows and 'County Police' transfers along the sides, and this model was also updated in 1967.
In October 1964 a Police Dog Handler Mini van (450) was introduced painted dark blue with 'Police' in white letters on the sides, a nylon aerial fitted to the front wing and came with models of the police dog handler and police Alsatian dog.
The Volkswagen European Police Car (492) issued in May 1966 was finished in the green and white of the German police force, and carried 'Polizei' transfers on the doors.
It featured steerable front wheels operated by the blue metal 'light' on the roof and two policemen sitting inside the vehicle, not to mention opening boot and rear engine cover.
It was painted black and white initially but this colour scheme was soon changed to authentic 'Panda' car colours of pale blue with a white vertical centre section.
It featured a colour scheme of white and red and was fitted with a blue light on an extension next to the door and a die-cast loud hailer on the engine cover.
A rare Dutch issue of the model featured dayglo orange and white paintwork and the correct 'Rijkspolitie' livery as featured on the real vehicle.
The Fire Bug (395) appeared in December 1971, and was based on a GP Beach Buggy fitted with fire fighting equipment.
British police vehicles were well represented with the Police 'Vigilant' Range Rover (461) released in January 1972 and the Ford Cortina Police Car (402) released in August of the same year.
Both models were finished in the contemporary white with red/blue side stripes, which would have been familiar to many motorists at the time.
The Range Rover came complete with a model policeman and emergency road signs, while the Cortina was also released with 'Polizei' labels on the otherwise unchanged British car as an export model for the German-speaking countries.
The remaining years that the company was in existence saw police cars based on such subjects as a Porsche 924 (430) and a Renault 5 (428), both in the white and black livery of the French Police nationale, a Mercedes 240D (412) and the Porsche 924 (430) in white and green of the German 'Polizei', and a blue Buick Regal (416) which had previously seen service as 'Kojak's' car.
There was also a Metropolitan Police Land Rover and Horse box (GS44) complete with a model Police horse and rider, which was also available in Royal Canadian Mounted Police finish (GS45).
Ambulances were issued based on the Range Rover 'Vigilant' (482), a Mercedes-Benz W123 'Bonna' (406) in four different liveries for Scandinavian and German-speaking countries, and a Chevrolet Superior Ambulance (405).
There appears, however, to have been a lack of fire fighting machinery released in this time, although the American LaFrance ladder truck and Simon Snorkel were still available along with the modern Chubb Pathfinder airport crash tender.
In 1980 the first of the later 'Corgitronics' range was introduced: the HCB-Angus Firestreak (1001) with battery-operated siren and flashing red lights, complete with two figures in silver protective clothing.
The first large commercial vehicles in the Corgi Toys range were the Commer Dropside lorry (452) and the Commer Refrigerated van finished the livery of Walls Ice Cream (453).
The same large van body was used on the ERF 88G chassis to become the Moorhouses Van (459) in March 1958.
The Karrier Bantam Lucozade Van (411) was introduced in August 1958 and featured a sliding plastic door, yellow paintwork and adverts for Lucozade energy drink on the side.
This model was updated in May 1962 to become the Dairy Produce Van (435) now painted pale blue and white and with a 'Drive Safely on Milk' advert on the side.
A Volkswagen van (433) was introduced in December 1962 finished in two tone red and white along with the Volkswagen Kombi (434) which was finished in green and white paintwork.
In March 1964 a Volkswagen Pick Up (432) was introduced to the range which came complete with a plastic canopy, and in December 1966 the pick up was converted to become the Volkswagen Breakdown Truck (490).
In 1963 Corgi introduced the Commer Constructor Set (GS 24), which consisted of two Commer FC van chassis units and four different rear bodies – an ambulance, milk float, panel van and pick-up.
The Commer Holiday Camp Special bus (508) issued in August 1968 was based on the earlier Samuelson Commer Film Unit bus, and featured bright orange and white paintwork with a decal fixed on one side on the vehicle, together with a plastic representation of luggage under cover on the roof rack.
The 'Mister Softee' Ice Cream Van (428) was introduced in March 1962 and was based on a Commer BF 1 ton van and which featured a plastic knob on the underside that allowed the ice cream salesman inside to be rotated.
This was a smaller vehicle based on the Thames 5 cwt van, a commercial version of the Ford Anglia, and the bodywork featured a pointed roof design and a sliding side window.
The model also came with a sheet of stickers which could be applied and also included were models of an ice cream vendor and small boy.
An alternative version (474) with musical chimes operated by a handle protruding from the back of the model was introduced a year later, but without the plastic figures.
A Karrier Bantam-based Mobile Butchers Shop (413) was released in October 1960 and was later updated to become a Chipperfield's Circus Booking Office (426) in January 1962 and with the addition of an opening side hatch, a detailed kitchen interior and revolving chef it was re-issued in March 1965 as Joe's Diner Mobile Canteen (471).
An export version to be sold in Belgium featured 'Patates Frites' stickers on the side in place of the usual 'Joe's Diner'.
There were no further additions to the commercial vehicle range until June 1979 with the Chevrolet van, first seen the previous year, issued in the livery of Coca-Cola (437).
A variety of farming vehicles formed part of the Corgi Toys range for the majority of the company's existence under Mettoy's ownership.
The range was introduced in June 1959 with the Massey Ferguson 65 tractor (50) finished in the manufacturer's familiar red and white colours.
An accompanying Massey Ferguson trailer (51) was introduced at the same time, and in April 1960 an operational shovel was added to the tractor as the Massey Ferguson 65 Tractor Shovel (53).
The scoop could either be raised or lowered by means of one of two levers and could be tipped by means of the second lever.
The Massey Ferguson combine harvester (1111) was released in August 1959 as part of the Corgi Major range, which featured blades that rotated as the model was pushed along.
A plough that could be attached to the tractor (57) was issued at the same time, and the two were available together as GS18.
A half track version of the Fordson was available in March 1962 as the Fordson Power Major with Roadless Half Tracks (54).
The first Agricultural Gift Set (GS22) was released in September 1962 and included the combine harvester, the Fordson and Massey Ferguson tractors with a fork replacing the shovel on the Massey Ferguson for this gift set only.
The Fordson Power Major Tractor was issued with a new Beast Carrier Trailer, carrying a load of four plastic calves, as GS33 in March 1965 and the Working Conveyor on F.C.Jeep (64) was released in June 1965.
This was an update of the Forward Control Jeep first issued in 1959 with a new casting of a working conveyor belt assembly fitted to the flat bed and accompanied by plastic model grain sacks and farmer.
The Massey Ferguson 165 (66) featured steering and an 'engine sound' as the model was pushed along and was finished in red and white.
The new Ford tractor was coupled to a Beast Carrier trailer for GS1 released in December 1966 which became the first Corgi release in the new style cellophane window box which defined the company's packaging for the future.
This was a large animal transporter based on an American Dodge truck which featured an opening bonnet and carried a cargo of plastic pigs.
The Tandem Disc Harrow Plough Trailer (71) was released in July 1967 and an updated Agricultural Gift Set (GS5) in October 1967, which featured some of the more recent releases such as the Dodge Kew Fargo and the Massey Ferguson 165 tractor with scoop.
In March 1970 the Massey Ferguson 165 Tractor With Saw Attachment (73) was issued featuring a clever circular saw attachment which rotated as the model was pushed along by means of a long finely coiled spring.
Next followed two versions of the Ford 5000 Super Major tractor with a fully operational side trenching scoop (74) in 1970 followed by a version with a rear trenching scoop (72) in January 1971.
A version with an operational shovel (54) was released in April 1974 and was featured with a trailer carrying a load of plastic 'hay' with figures sitting atop the 'hay' as the latest version of the Agricultural Gift Set (GS4) in July 1974.
The David Brown Tractor and Trailer Set (GS34) included the new tractor finished in white and with a closed cab and a tipping trailer.
These models were also featured in another version of the Agricultural Gift Set (GS42) released in March 1978, along with models of a grain elevator and grain silo.
The Thunderbird Guided Missile and Trailer (350) was issued in May 1958 followed by the Bloodhound Guided Missile and Launch Pad (1108) in October 1958.
In June 1959 the Corporal Guided Missile on Launch Pad was issued, which was later featured coupled to a mobile transporter as Corporal Erector Vehicle and Missile (1113) released in October 1959.
RAF vehicles included RAF Land Rover (351) issued in May 1958, which was included in Gift Set 4 along with the Bloodhound Guided Missile, and Standard Vanguard RAF Staff Car (352) which was issued in October 1958.
The Decca Mobile Airfield Radar Van (1106) released in January 1959 featured a radar scanner which revolved remotely by means of a serrated wheel, and the Bedford Military Ambulance (414) was issued in January 1961.
In January 1965, in response to a request from the company's American agent, a range of vehicles was produced in the matt green with white star livery of the US Army.
These included Commer Military Ambulance (354), Commer Military Police Van (355), Volkswagen Military Personnel Carrier (356), Land Rover Weapons Carrier (357), Oldsmobile HQ Staff Car (358), Army Field Kitchen (359), International Troop Transporter (1113), Bedford Army Fuel Tanker (1134) and Heavy Equipment Transporter (1135).
All were updates of existing models from both the standard Corgi range and the Corgi Major range, and sold disappointingly leading to their withdrawal at the end of 1966.
A range of tanks was introduced in November 1973 with the German Tiger Tank Mk I (900) and the British Centurion Tank Mk III (901).
It was expanded in 1974 with the releases of U.S. M60A1 Tank (902), the British Chieftain Tank (903), German King Tiger Tank (904), Russian SU-100 Tank Destroyer (905) and British Saladin Armoured Car (906).
The Centurion Mk III tank was also included as part of Centurion Tank and Transporter (GS 10) along with a Mack articulated transporter truck.
Finally, in October 1976 the French AMX-30 Recovery Tank (908) and British Quad Gun Tractor and Field Gun (909) were issued.
By the late sixties the British toy car market had changed with the arrival from the U.S. of Mattel's Hot Wheels range and their associated track sets.
Sales of Corgi Toys began to fall away and matters were not helped by a disastrous fire at the Swansea factory in March 1969 which destroyed a warehouse full of models awaiting delivery.
Even one of the company's cleverest innovations the Golden Jacks 'Take-Off Wheels' system which first appeared in March 1968 did little to halt the slide.
The authentically detailed die-cast wheels fitted to these models were unique to each model, with the exception of the Oldsmobile Toronado and the Chevrolet Camaro which shared a wheel design, and were attached to the axle by means of the 'Golden Jacks' – die-cast golden metal stands, which when folded downwards both released the wheel and supported the model.
Only seven models were produced with this feature, with more models like the Ferrari Dino, Lamborghini Miura and Pontiac Firebird planned but ultimately released with Whizzwheels instead.
The Mini Marcos was a fibreglass-bodied coupe produced by the specialist British sports car manufacturer Marcos and was built on the Austin/Morris Mini chassis and fitted with a highly tuned Mini engine.
The Corgi model Mini Marcos GT850 (341), finished in metallic red, was the first in the series of Take-Off Wheels models and was introduced in March 1968.
The Oldsmobile Toronado (276) released in June 1968 was an updated version of the earlier 1967 Corgi release of the same model but re-coloured metallic red or metallic yellow, but the metallic gold coloured Chevrolet Camaro SS350 (338) issued in August 1968 was a new model of one of the latest generation 'pony' cars from America.
The previously mentioned 1968 London to Sydney Marathon winning Hillman Hunter rally car (302) was issued in July 1969 and was finished in the blue and white of the original.
A rare version of this model was released in silver over metallic blue which was used as the colour scheme for the later Whizzwheels version.
This model was available in chromed red or green finish called 'Solarbrite' by Corgi and introduced with the Corgi Rockets range the previous year.
Low friction wheels known as 'Whizzwheels' were introduced to keep up with the competition in September 1969 with the Ferrari 206 Dino Sports (344) finished in either red and white or yellow and black.
The first incarnation (known to collectors as 'Red Spots') featured rubber tyres and brass hubs with low friction red nylon centres, which though attractive and effective, were expensive to produce and were soon replaced by plastic wheels.
Although giving more 'play value', Whizzwheels models are less popular with collectors today as they take away some of the character and realism of the earlier regular wheeled models fitted with rubber tyres.
Noddy's Car (801) featured figures from the Enid Blyton children's novels of 'Noddy', 'Big-Ears' and 'Golly' sitting in the rumble seat.
Early examples featured a model gollywog with a black painted face but after just a few months the colour was changed to grey.
The model was later reissued with 'Teddy' sitting in the rumble seat, perhaps in response to the fact that gollywogs had become less acceptable by the late 1960s.
These included the 'Magic Roundabout' Carousel (H852), 'Mr Mac Henry's' trike (H859), the 'Magic Roundabout' train (H851) and 'Dougal's' car (807), a modified Citroën DS featuring models of 'Dougal' the dog, 'Dylan' the rabbit and 'Brian' the snail.
Individual figures of all the characters were available, as was a 'Magic Roundabout' Playground set (H853) that included all the models in the 'Magic Roundabout' series as well as a large 'magic garden' base that featured trees and train tracks.
The models in the series were all able to run on these tracks, and would move around the 'Magic Garden' at the turn of a large plastic handle.
During the early 1960s Corgi Toys issued a series of clip-together plastic kits of buildings and street furniture to complement and add further play value to their range of scale vehicles.
The first release was the Batley Leofric Garage (601) with opening garage door in May 1960 followed by two street lamps (606) and AA (Automobile Association) and RAC (Royal Automobile Club) Telephone Boxes (602) in June 1960.
In November 1960 Silverstone Pits (603) and Silverstone Press Box (604) were added to the range with Silverstone Club House and Timekeepers Box (605) released in March 1963 along with Circus Elephant and Cage (607).
In April 1963 the Motel Chalet (611) was issued and in December 1963 a Shell/BP Service Station (608) was released, along with Shell/BP Forecourt Accessories (609) and Metropolitan Police and Public Telephone Boxes (610).
A series of figures to go with Corgi Kits were released in December 1962; Racing Drivers and Mechanics (1501), Spectators (1502), Race Track Officials (1503), Press Officials (1504) and Garage Attendants (1505).
The range culminated with two Gift Sets grouping together most of the releases - Shell/BP Garage Layout (GS25) and Silverstone Racing Layout (GS15) both issued in December 1963.
Designed with the intention of being used in conjunction with the Commer Platform Lorry (454), Commer Dropside Lorry (452), ERF Platform Lorry (457) and ERF Dropside Lorry (456), Corgi introduced a series of painted die-cast metal 'loads' called Corgi Cargoes.
They were packaged in a clear plastic blisters attached to a card featuring the Corgi dog logo, images of Corgi lorries and the range's signature blue and yellow colour scheme.
The first to be introduced in February 1960 were Plank Load (1485) and Cement Load (1488), and they were incorporated into Gift Set 11 including the ERF Dropside Lorry and Trailer in March 1960.
The last in this range to be released was to be used with the Massey Ferguson 65 Tractor (50) and was a red painted cast metal platform carrying three metal milk churns which clipped to the rear of the tractor.
Pack A (1460) included number plates, road fund licenses and GB plates, Pack B (1461) featured sports wheel discs and white-wall tyres, Pack C (1462) contained commercial vehicle items, Pack D (1463) included CD plates and L (learner) plates and Pack E (1464) introduced in December 1961 contained AA and RAC badges and towing plates.
It was originally a small fold-out single sheet leaflet but by the late 1960s it had evolved into a 48-page colour catalogue.
Corgi catalogues are notable for their illustrations and art work that are evocative of the period, and they are now collectable in their own right.
After the success of the range during the late 1950s and 1960s, sales remained buoyant in the 1970s, and the company made its biggest profit of £3.5 million in 1978.
In an attempt to keep its products contemporary Mettoy began production of the Dragon computer which was aimed at younger users.
In October 1983, Corgi Toys were forced to call in the Official Receiver, just three years after the demise of Dinky Toys and one year after Lesney (Matchbox).
The Corgi story did not end in the mid-1980s, however, as a management buy-out saw the company re-formed as Corgi Toys Limited in March 1984.
Competition was now wholly in the form of products that were being manufactured overseas leading to management moving some of the moulds to China and setting up a joint venture company with a Hong Kong company called Flying Dragon.
In 1989 the management sold the Corgi brand to Mattel and the factory was retained under the name of Microlink Industries Ltd.
In recent years the internet has allowed a far wider collector-base than in the past when swapmeets and antique markets were the only places they could be found.
Williams started out in the early 1940s as vocalist for the band of Western Swing king Spade Cooley, based in Venice, California.
After appearances in various television shows and releasing her first singles, Stansfield, Ian Devaney and Andy Morris formed Blue Zone in 1986.
In June 2018, following a string of sold-out tour dates in Europe, Stansfield announced her North American Tour, which began in October 2018.
Stansfield has won numerous awards, including Brit Awards, Ivor Novello Awards, Billboard Music Award, World Music Award, ASCAP Award, Women's World Award, Silver Clef Awards and DMC Awards.
Stansfield grew up listening to soul music, and stated that her mother's affinity for records by Diana Ross and the Supremes was her first musical influence.
It was a profile of the aspiring singer, and it included her comments and those of her mother and sisters, and some songs sung by Stansfield.
In 1984, Stansfield and former schoolmates Ian Devaney and Andy Morris, after having worked together on a school musical production, began to collaborate musically and, in 1986, formed the band Blue Zone.
The small indie label Rockin' Horse Records signed them in 1985, and one year later the label was bought up by Arista Records.
Just as the single was climbing the charts (number ninety-nine in the United Kingdom), it was withdrawn by the record company in the wake of the King's Cross fire.
The single was released in March 1989, and reached number six on the Hot Dance Club Songs in the United States and number eleven in the United Kingdom.
It reached the top ten on charts around the world, including number one in Austria and Italy, number two in the UK, Germany, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, number three in Belgium, number five in New Zealand, number six in the Netherlands and Norway, and number seven in Australia and Canada.
The album has sold over five million copies worldwide and was certified 3× Platinum in the UK, Platinum in the US, Canada, Germany, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, and Gold in France, Finland and Austria.
The single was certified Platinum in the US for selling over one million copies, and Gold in many other countries, including the UK, Germany, Australia, Sweden and Austria.
It garnered favourable reviews from music critics, and was commercially successful, reaching number two in the United Kingdom, number six in Belgium, and peaked inside the top forty in many European countries and Japan.
It reached number three in the United Kingdom (where it was certified Gold), number four in Italy, and also charted in other European countries.
In October 2013, it was announced that the release date of the album had been pushed back to 31 January 2014 in Germany, and 10 February 2014 in the United Kingdom.
The tour ended with a series of concerts in the United Kingdom in September 2014 and other European countries in October and November 2014.
In June 2018, following a string of sold outtour dates in Europe, Stansfield announced her North American Tour to begin in October.
Her first in North America in two decades, the tour began on 9 October in Toronto and included stops in Montreal, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, and more, before concluding in San Francisco on 26 October.
Set in 1974, it is an independent docudrama about the social phenomenon and generation of the Northern soul music and dance movement, and was released in 2014.
The minimalist ceremony was held in Washington Square Park in New York City, and the only guests were her parents and his mother.
Rhumba, also known as ballroom rumba, is a genre of ballroom music and dance that appeared in the East Coast of the United States during the 1930s.
Although taking its name from the latter, ballroom rumba differs completely from Cuban rumba in both its music and its dance.
This single, released four months later by Victor, became a hit, becoming the first Latin song to sell 1 million copies in the United States.
The song, composed by Moisés Simons, is a son-pregón arranged, in this case, for Azpiazú's big band featuring three saxophones, two cornets, banjo, guitar, piano, violin, bass, and trap drums.
With vocals by Antonio Machín and a trumpet solo (the first one in the recorded history of Cuban music) by Remberto Lara, the recording, arranged by saxophonist Alfredo Brito, attempted to adapt the Cuban son to the style of ballroom music prevalent at the time in the East Coast.
Soon, Azpiazú's style was followed by other Cuban artists such as Armando Oréfiche and the Lecuona Cuban Boys, who had extensive international tours in the 1930s.
Rhumba was also incorporated into classical music, as exemplified by symphonic pieces by composers such as George Gershwin, Harl McDonald and Morton Gould.
The kind of rhumba introduced into dance salons in America and Europe in the 1930s was characterized by variable tempo, sometimes nearly twice as fast as the modern ballroom rumba, which was developed as a dance in the 1940s and '50s, when the original music movement had died down.
Nonetheless, the rhumba craze would be the first of three Latin music crazes in the first half of the 20th century, together with the mambo craze and the cha-cha-cha craze.
American style rhumba is taught in a box step, known for its slow-quick-quick pattern danced on the 1, 3, and 4 beats of 4-beat music.
International style rhumba was developed in Europe by Monsieur Pierre after he compared the established American style with contemporary Cuban dancers.
International style is taught in a quick-quick-slow pattern danced on the 2, 3, and 4 beats of 4 beat music, similar in step and motion to the cha-cha-cha.
This ballroom rumba was derived from a Cuban rhythm and dance called the bolero-son; the international style was derived from studies of dance in Cuba in the pre-revolutionary period.
The modern international style of dancing the rumba derives from studies made by dance teacher Monsieur Pierre (Pierre Zurcher-Margolle), who partnered Doris Lavelle.
Pierre, then from London, visited Cuba in 1947, 1951, and 1953 to find out how and what Cubans were dancing at the time.
The international ballroom rumba is a slower dance of about 120 beats per minute which corresponds, both in music and in dance, to what the Cubans of an older generation called the bolero-son.
It is easy to see why, for ease of reference and for marketing, rhumba is a better name, however inaccurate; it is the same kind of reason that led later on to the use of salsa as an overall term for popular music of Cuban origin.
All social dances in Cuba involve a hip-sway over the standing leg and, though this is scarcely noticeable in fast salsa, it is more pronounced in the slow ballroom rumba.
The basic figures derive from dance moves observed in Havana in the pre-revolutionary period, and have developed their own life since then.
The aircraft had its genesis in Operational Requirement 330 for a high speed (Mach 3) reconnaissance aircraft , which eventually developed into the Avro 730.
As the 730 was expected to operate at high speeds for extended periods of time, more data was needed on high speed operations, leading to Operational Requirement ER.134T for a testbed capable of speeds greater than Mach 2.
The aircraft was expected to run at these speeds for extended periods of time, allowing it to study kinetic heating effects on such an aircraft.
Several firms took interest in this very advanced specification and the eventual contract (6/Acft/10144) was awarded to Bristol Aircraft in February 1953.
The follow-up order was cancelled when the Avro 730 programme was cancelled in 1957 as part of that year's review of defence spending.
The 12% chromium stainless steel with a honeycomb centre was used for the construction of the outer skin, to which no paint was applied.
Riveting was a potential method for construction but the new arc welding technique using an argon gas shield known as puddle welding was used.
The W. G. Armstrong Whitworth company provided substantial technical help and support to Bristol during this period; they produced major sections of the airframe as a subcontractor.
A fused-quartz windscreen and canopy and cockpit refrigeration system were designed and fitted but were never tested in the environment for which they had been designed.
The 188 was originally intended to have Avon engines but the half ton lighter each Gyron Junior was substituted in June 1957, necessitating the engines mounted further forward with longer nacelles and jet pipes.
The Gyron Junior was then under development for the Saunders-Roe SR.177 supersonic interceptor and incorporated a fully variable reheat, from idle to full power, the first such application used in an aircraft.
This choice of powerplant resulted in the 188 having a typical endurance of only 25 minutes, not long enough for the high-speed research tests that were required.
Chief Test Pilot Godfrey L. Auty reported that while the 188 transitioned smoothly from subsonic to supersonic flight, the Gyron Junior engines were prone to surging beyond that speed, causing the aircraft to pitch and yaw.
In May 1960, the first airframe was delivered to the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough for structural tests – loading tests both heated and unheated – before moving on to RAE Bedford.
Over 51 flights, it managed a top speed of Mach 1.88 (1,440 mph : 2,300 km/h) at 36,000 ft (11,000 m).
The longest subsonic Bristol 188 flight was only 48 minutes in length, requiring 70% of the fuel load to be expended to attain its operational altitude.
The first prototype made its first public appearance in September 1962 when it was displayed on the ground and in the air at that year's Farnborough Air Show.
Combined with fuel leaks, the inability to reach its design speed of Mach 2 and a takeoff speed at nearly , the test phase was severely compromised.
Nonetheless, although the 188 programme was eventually abandoned, the knowledge and technical information gained was put to some use for the future Concorde program.
The inconclusive nature of the research into the use of stainless steel led to Concordes being constructed from conventional aluminium alloys with a Mach limit of 2.2.
Experience gained with the Gyron Junior engine, which was the first British gas turbine designed for sustained supersonic operation, additionally later assisted with the development of the Bristol (later Rolls Royce) Olympus 593 powerplant which was used on both Concorde and the BAC TSR-2.
Various proposals to further develop the 188 were considered including incorporating ramjets and rocket engines as well as considering fighter and reconnaissance variants.
Like many bluesmen of his time, he travelled around playing to all-male audiences in sawmill, turpentine and levee camps along the Mississippi River, sometimes in a duo with Big Joe Williams, gathering a repertoire of raw, sexually explicit material.
He soon began recording for different labels under various names, including Easy Papa Johnson, Dobby Bragg, and Willie Kelly (for Victor Records from 1930 to 1933).
After he and Oden moved to Chicago, Sykes found his first period of fame when he signed a contract with Decca Records in 1934.
In Chicago, Sykes began to display an increasing urbanity in his songwriting, using an eight-bar blues pop gospel structure instead of the traditional twelve-bar blues.
After his contract with RCA Victor expired, he recorded for smaller labels, such as United, until his opportunities ran out in the mid-1950s.
When he returned to recording in the 1960s, it was for labels such as Delmark, Bluesville, Storyville and Folkways, which were documenting the quickly passing blues history.
Acid rock is a loosely defined type of rock music that evolved out of the mid-1960s garage punk movement and helped launch the psychedelic subculture.
Its distinctions from other genres can be tenuous, as much of the style overlaps with '60s punk, proto-metal, and early heavy, blues-based hard rock.
Acid rock distinguishes itself from other psychedelic rock styles by having a harder, louder, heavier, or rawer sound, and developed mainly from the American West Coast.
Such American groups did not focus on novelty recording effects or whimsy as much as subsequent British psychedelia, and instead emphasized the heavier qualities associated with both the positive and negative extremes of the psychedelic experience.
As the movement progressed into the late 1960s and 1970s, elements of acid rock split into two directions, with hard rock and heavy metal on one side and progressive rock on the other.
In the 1990s, the stoner metal genre combined acid rock with other hard rock styles such as grunge, updating the heavy riffs and long jams found in acid rock and psychedelic-influenced metal.
As a hard rock variant of psychedelia, acid rock evolved from the 1960s garage punk movement, with many of its bands eventually transforming into heavy metal acts.
Many bands associated with acid rock aimed to create a youth movement based on love and peace, as an alternative to workaholic capitalist society.
When played live at dance clubs, performances were accompanied by psychedelic-themed light shows in order to replicate the visual effects of the acid experience.
According to Laura Diane Kuhn, the heavier form of psychedelic rock known as acid rock developed from the late 1960s California music scene.
The Charlatans were among the first Bay Area acid rock bands, though Jefferson Airplane was the first Bay Area acid rock band to sign a major label and achieve mainstream success.
Other bands credited with creating or laying the foundation for acid rock include garage rock bands such as the 13th Floor Elevators and Count Five.
Originating in the early 1960s, garage punk was a mainly-American movement that involved R&B-inspired garage bands powered by electric guitars and organs.
It was mainly the domain of untrained teenagers fixated on sonic effects, such as wah-wah and fuzz tone, and relied heavily on riffs.
Acid rock often encompasses the more extreme side of the psychedelic rock genre, frequently containing a loud, improvised, and guitar-centered sound.
By the late 1960s, in addition to the deliberate use of distortion and feedback, acid rock was further characterized by long guitar solos and the frequent use of electronic organs.
At a time when many British psychedelic bands played whimsical or surrealistic psychedelic rock, many 1960s American rock bands, especially those from the West Coast, developed a rawer or harder version of psychedelic rock containing garage rock energy.
When contrasted with whimsical British psychedelia, this harder American West Coast variant of psychedelic rock has been referred to as acid rock.
American psychedelic rock and garage bands such as the 13th Floor Elevators epitomized the frenetic, darker and more psychotic sound of American acid rock, a sound characterized by droning guitar riffs, amplified feedback, and guitar distortion.
The acid rock of the San Francisco Sound heavily incorporated musical improvisation, jamming, repetitive drum beats, experimental sound and tape effects, and intentional feedback.
San Francisco acid rock generally took a non-commercial approach to song-writing: it often involved almost free jazz-like, free-form hard rock improvisations alongside distorted guitars, and lyrics often were socially conscious, trippy, or anti-establishment.
Many of the musicians in the scene, including bands such as the Charlatans and the Quicksilver Messenger Service, became involved in Ken Kesey's LSD-driven psychedelic scene, known as the Merry Pranksters.
In the 1960s, the heavy, blues-influenced, psychedelic hard rock sound of bands such as the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Deep Purple, and Cream was classified as acid rock.
Ultimately, Steppenwolf and other acid rock groups such as Cream, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and Led Zeppelin paved the way for the electrified, bluesy sound of early heavy metal.
At a time when rock music began to turn back to roots-oriented soft rock, many acid rock groups instead evolved into heavy metal bands.
As its own movement, heavy metal music continued to perpetuate characteristics of acid rock bands into at least the 1980s, and traces of psychedelic rock can be seen in the musical excesses of later metal bands.
In the 1990s, the stoner metal genre combined acid rock with other hard rock genres such as grunge, updating the heavy riffs and long jams found in the acid rock and psychedelic-influenced metal of bands such as Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, Hawkwind, and Blue Öyster Cult.
In the 1970s, elements of psychedelic music split into two notable directions, evolving into the hard rock and heavy metal of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Led Zeppelin on one side and into the progressive rock of bands such Pink Floyd and Yes on the other.
Bands such as Yes, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer kept the psychedelic musical movement alive for some time, but eventually moved away from drug-themed music towards experiments in electronic music and the addition of classical music themes into rock music.
Such doors were originally used on horse-drawn carriages, but are rarely found on modern vehicles, primarily because they are perceived as being less safe than a front-hinged door.
The term suicide is (understandably) avoided by major automobile manufacturers in favor of alternatives such as coach doors (Rolls-Royce and Lincoln), flexdoors (Opel), freestyle doors (Mazda), rear access doors (Saturn), and rear-hinged doors (the preferred technical term).
In the era before seat belts, the accidental opening of such doors meant that there was a greater risk of falling out of the vehicle compared to front-hinged doors, where airflow pushed the doors closed rather than opening them further.
The best-known use of suicide doors on post-World War II American automobiles was the Lincoln Continental 4 door convertibles and sedans (1961–1969) and Ford Thunderbird 1967–1971 four-door sedans.
Due to increasing safety concerns, the last mass-produced car model with independently opening suicide doors sold in the United States was the Ford Thunderbird four-door sedan from 1967 to 1971.
In recent years, rear-hinged rear doors that cannot be opened until the front doors are opened have appeared on a number of vehicles, including extended-cab pickup trucks, the Saturn SC, the Saturn Ion Quad Coupe, the Honda Element, the Toyota FJ Cruiser, the BMW i3, and the Mazda RX-8.
Several concept cars have featured suicide doors, such as the Lincoln C, a hatchback with no B-pillar and rear suicide doors, or the Carbon Motors Corporation E7, a police car with rear suicide doors designed to aid officers getting handcuffed passengers in and out of the back seat.
Other car manufacturers which have produced models with suicide doors include Citroën, Lancia, Opel, Panhard, Rover, Saab, Saturn, Škoda, and Volkswagen.
Rear-hinged doors make entering and exiting a vehicle easier, allowing a passenger to enter by turning to sit and exit by stepping forward and out.
In Austin FX4 taxis, drivers were able to reach the rear door handle through the driver's window without getting out of the vehicle.
Additionally, rear-hinged doors also allow a better position for a person installing a child seat into the back seat of a vehicle than conventional doors, while being simpler and cheaper to build than the sliding doors commonly used on MPVs.
However, the most recent MPV in the compact MPV class with such doors has been the Opel Meriva B introduced in 2010.
The combination of front-hinged front doors and rear-hinged rear doors allows for a design without the B-pillar, creating a large opening for entering and exiting the vehicle as seen in the above photo.
When front doors are directly adjacent to rear suicide doors, exiting and entering the vehicle can be awkward if people try to use the front and back doors at the same time.
In recent years, car companies have addressed these hazards with such safety features as seat belts, and locks requiring front-hinged doors be open before permitting rear-hinged doors to open.
Jimmy Lee Ruffin (May 7, 1936 – November 17, 2014) was an American soul singer, and elder brother of David Ruffin of the Temptations.
In 1961, Jimmy became a singer as part of the Motown stable, mostly on sessions but also recording singles for its subsidiary Miracle label, but was then drafted for national service.
After leaving the Army in 1964, he returned to Motown, where he was offered the opportunity to join the Temptations to replace Elbridge Bryant.
However, after hearing his brother David, they hired him for the job instead so Jimmy decided to resume his solo career.
In 1966, he heard a song about unrequited love written for The Spinners, and persuaded the writers that he should record it himself.
It also initially reached #8 in the UK singles chart, rising to #4 when it was reissued in the UK in 1974.
As a solo artist, it would prove to be Ruffin's last significant chart appearance in America for many years, and his very last significant charting record for Motown in the US.
Later, Ruffin hosted a radio show in the UK for a time, and became an anti-drug advocate following the 1991 drug overdose death of his brother David.
On October 17, 2014, it was reported that he was gravely ill and had been taken into an intensive care unit at a Las Vegas hospital.
Ruffin is buried at Palm Memorial Park Northwest Cemetery, Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada in the Garden of Eternal Life Section.
Johnny Rivers (born John Henry Ramistella; November 7, 1942) is an American rock 'n' roll singer, songwriter, guitarist, and record producer.
Ramistella formed his own band, the Spades, and made his first record at 14, while he was a student at Baton Rouge High School.
His big break came in 1963, when he filled in for a jazz combo at Gazzarri's, a nightclub in Hollywood, where his instant popularity drew large crowds.
In 1964, Elmer Valentine gave Rivers a one-year contract to open at the Whisky a Go Go, on Sunset Strip in West Hollywood.
In the 1970s Rivers continued to record more songs and albums that were successes with music critics, but did not sell well.
In early 2000, Rivers recorded with Eric Clapton, Tom Petty and Paul McCartney on a tribute album dedicated to Buddy Holly's backup band, the Crickets.
This development was spearheaded by the Bee Gees with their $200 million lawsuit against RSO Records, the largest successful lawsuit against a record company by an artist or group.
His name has been suggested many times for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but he has never been selected.
On April 9, 2017, Rivers performed a song, accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, at the funeral for Chuck Berry, at The Pageant, in St. Louis, Missouri.
Primary is a 1960 Direct Cinema documentary film about the 1960 Wisconsin primary election between John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey for the United States Democratic Party nomination for President of the United States.
Produced by Robert Drew, shot by Richard Leacock and Albert Maysles, and edited by D. A. Pennebaker, the film was a breakthrough in documentary film style.
Most importantly, through the use of mobile cameras and lighter sound equipment, the filmmakers were able to follow the candidates as they wound their way through cheering crowds, cram with them into crowded hotel rooms, and to hover around their faces as they awaited polling results.
This resulted in a greater intimacy than was possible with the older, more classical techniques of documentary filmmaking; and it established what has since become the standard style of video reporting.
The Robins were a successful and influential American R&B group of the late 1940s and 1950s, one of the earliest such vocal groups who established the basic pattern for the doo-wop sound.
In 1955, the group disagreed over whether to remain on the West Coast or sign with Atlantic Records and move to the East Coast.
Music producers and songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller took former Robins members Nunn and Carl Gardner, recruited singers Leon Hughes and Billy Guy, and formed the Coasters.
The show's format is similar to that of other late-night shows, Robin makes jokes about recent news, shows sketches, and talks to a guest in the studio.
Ram-raiding is a type of burglary in which a van, truck, SUV, car, or other heavy vehicle is driven through the windows or doors of a closed shop, usually a department store or jeweller's shop, to allow the perpetrators to loot it.
The term came into widespread use after a series of such raids in Belfast in 1979 that was covered in news reports and in countries such as Australia that inspired a series of similar crimes.
Another solution is security guards, but round-the-clock teams are expensive and often not the most economical way of dealing with ram-raiding.
The is a major railway line operated by the Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu) between Mojikō in Kitakyushu, and Kagoshima Station in Kagoshima City, at the southern end of Kyushu.
Until March 13, 2004, it extended 393 km between its two termini; however, with the opening of the Kyushu Shinkansen on March 13, the section between Yatsushiro and Sendai was transferred to the third-sector Hisatsu Orange Railway Company.
It is the main line through the Fukuoka urban district, and as such many long-distance express trains from all parts of Kyushu use the section between Kokura Station (Kitakyushu) and Tosu Station, where the Nagasaki Main Line meets the Kagoshima Main Line.
The Kyushu Railway opened the 197 km Mojiko - Hakata - Kumamoto section between 1889 and 1891, extended the line south to Yatsushiro by 1896 and the company was nationalised in 1907.
At the southern end the line from Kagoshima to Hayato (now part of the Nippo Main Line) opened as part of the Hisatsu Line in 1901.
The Hayato to Yoshimatsu section of the Hisatsu line opened in 1903, the Yatsushiro to Hitoyoshi section opened in 1908, and the Hitoyoshi to Yoshimatsu section in 1909, providing the original connection from Kagoshima to Yatsushiro.
The Kagoshima to Sendai line opened between 1913 and 1914, and the Sendai to Yatsushiro section opened between 1922 and 1927, at which time this route replaced the Hisatsu Line to become the southern part of the Kagoshima Main Line.
In 2004, following the opening of the Kagoshima to Shin-Yatsushiro section of the Kyushu Shinkansen, the Yatsushiro to Sendai section was transferred to the third-sector Hisatsu Orange Railway.
The 14 km Kokura to Kurosaki section (on a new alignment to the west of the original line) opened in 1908, and was completed to Hakata by 1913.
The line was double-tracked south of Hakata to Tosu between 1917 and 1921, with Tosu to Hizen Asahi opening 1934, and to Kurume in 1942.
The original Kokura to Kurosaki alignment avoided the coastline due to the Japanese army expressing concern at the vulnerability of a coastal route to enemy naval gunfire.
However, following Japan's success in the 1904 Russo-Japanese War, this concern diminished and the Kokura to Kurosaki section was rebuilt (and duplicated) on a new easier (though 3 km longer) alignment to the west of the original line in 1908.
The original 11 km section was then renamed the Okura Line and operated until 1911, when it closed together with the Kokura Bypass line.
Bruce was the second son of Sir William Waller Bruce, 10th Baronet (1856–1912) and his wife Angelica Lady Bruce (died 1917), daughter of General George Selby, Royal Artillery.
He received his formal education at The Grange School in Stevenage, and from 1908 to 1912 at Abingdon School in Abingdon-on-Thames.
At Abingdon he was a keen sportsman, playing for the first XI cricket team (for which he received Colours), the athletics' first team and the school's football 2nd XI.
In 1912, Bruce left school at the age of 17, and took up a position as a stockbroker's clerk in the City of London.
In early 1914, whilst working in the City he voluntarily enlisted into the British Army's Territorial Force as an infantry soldier with the Honourable Artillery Company as its Private #852.
On the outbreak of World War 1 in early August 1914, he was mobilized with the regiment, and went out to the Western Front with its 1st Battalion on 18 September 1914 at the age of 19.
On 5 January 1915, whilst in trenches at Kemmel in Belgium, he was machine-gunned in the legs, causing multiple wounds and a fractured right thigh, and was subsequently medically evacuated to the United Kingdom, where he spent the rest of 1915 recovering in hospital.
He was discharged from the British Army as medically unfit for further military service due to permanent damage to his legs in December 1915.
After being discharged from the British Army, Bruce abandoned a career in the City of London Stock Exchange, and pursued a career as a professional actor.
In 1934, he moved to Hollywood, U.S., as his career there became a success he set up a home at 701 North Alpine Drive, Beverly Hills in the latter half of the 1930s.
Bruce's career signature role was that of Dr. Watson in the 1939–1946 Sherlock Holmes film series, alongside his friend Basil Rathbone playing Holmes.
Though for most viewers Nigel Bruce formed their vision of Dr. Watson, Holmes purists have long objected that the Watson of the books was intelligent and capable (although not an outstanding detective), and that Bruce's portrayal made Watson intellectually dimmer and more bumbling than the literary figure.
Loren D. Estleman wrote of Bruce: Rathbone, however, spoke highly of Bruce's portrayal, saying that Watson was one of the screen's most lovable characters.
Since then, most major modern adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, especially since the 1970s, have consciously defied the popular stereotype, and depicted Watson faithfully as a capable man of action.
Unlike some of his contemporaries, and along with other British actors such as Basil Rathbone and Charlie Chaplin, Bruce maintained his British citizenship, despite long residence in the United States.
His body was subsequently cremated, with his ashes being placed in a niche at the Chapel of the Pines Crematory in Los Angeles.
The Saltonstall family is a Boston Brahmin family from the U.S. state of Massachusetts, notable for having had a family member attend Harvard University from every generation since Nathaniel Saltonstall—later one of the more principled judges at the Salem Witch Trials—graduated in 1659.
Dorothy Elsie Wilkinson (born October 9, 1921) is an American former softball player and bowler who is a member of the halls of fame of both sports.
Wilkinson played softball from 1933 to 1965, helping her team, the Phoenix Ramblers, to the national title in 1940, 1948, and 1949.
Wilkinson occasionally attends high school, college and tournament softball games in Arizona, where she and some of her former teammates are honored frequently.
A derivative of the A129, the TAI/AgustaWestland T129 ATAK, is being developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) in cooperation with AgustaWestland.
In 1972, the Italian Army began forming a requirement for a light observation and anti-tank helicopter; around the same time, the West German military had identified a similar need.
The two nations' requirements led to a joint project being initiated between the Italian company Agusta and West German company MBB; however, the joint effort was soon dissolved following preliminary work.
Agusta had initially studied the development of a combat-oriented derivative of their existing A109 helicopter, however they decided to proceed with the development of a more ambitious helicopter design.
On 11 September 1983, the first of five A129 prototypes made the type's maiden flight; the fifth prototype would first fly in March 1986.
According to defence publication Jane's Information Group, by 1985, the A129 was considered to be a comparable attack helicopter to the American-built McDonnell Douglas AH-64 Apache, and showed potential on the export market.
During the 1980s, Agusta sought to partner with Westland Helicopters to develop a common light attack helicopter, other prospective manufacturing participants in the joint initiative included Fokker and Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA.
By 1988, feasibility studies for four different options had been conducted for the LAH, these would have between 80 per cent and 20 per cent growth over the initial A129; both single-engine and twin-engine configurations were examined using various new powerplants, as well as a new rotor system, retractable landing gear, improved sensors and more powerful armament.
However, the LAH project collapsed in 1990 following Britain and the Netherlands independently deciding to withdraw from the program and eventually procure the AH-64 Apache instead.
The A129I featured a five-bladed main rotor (early production aircraft employed a four-bladed main rotor), a pair of LHTEC T800 engines (replacing the Rolls-Royce Gem engines) and an upgraded transmission; the A129I also had new weapons and electronic warfare systems.
In 1998, the Italian Army had decided to upgrade a portion of their A129 fleet with many of the A129I's systems, the first of the remanufactured helicopters was delivered in 2002.
During the Australian Army's AIR 87 project to procure a new Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter fleet, the Agusta A129 was one of the contenders; it was one of the three attack helicopters, alongside the AH-64 Apache and the Eurocopter Tiger, to be short-listed out of the six tenders submitted.
Turkey had sought a new attack helicopter since the 1990s to replace their diminished Bell AH-1 Cobra and Bell AH-1 SuperCobra fleets.
Following a highly protracted selection process, in September 2007, an order was issued for 51 TAI/AgustaWestland T129 ATAK helicopters, a variant of the A129 International.
As a part of the deal with AgustaWestland, Turkish defense firm TAI acquired the rights for future manufacturing of the T129; TAI intends to produce the T129 for export customers.
The A129 Mangusta is the first European attack helicopter; as such it has several original aspects to its design, such as being the first helicopter to make use of a fully computerised integrated management system to reduce crew workload.
It was decided that much of the helicopter's functionality was to be automated; as such, parts of the flight and armament systems are monitored and directly controlled by onboard computers.
The A129 shares considerable design similarities to Agusta's earlier A109 utility helicopter; the rear section of the A129 was derived from the A109 and incorporated to an entirely new forward section.
The A129's fuselage is highly angular and armoured for ballistic protection; the composite rotor blades are also able to withstand hits from 23mm cannon fire.
The A129 can also be equipped with 81 mm or 70 mm (2.75 in) unguided rockets; a M197 three-barrel 20 mm cannon is also installed onto a nose-mounted Oto Melara TM-197B turret.
Power is provided by a pair of Rolls-Royce Gem 2-1004D turboshaft engines, the engines have been designed to incorporate infrared heat signature reduction measures.
One of the key protective measures incorporated onto the A129 include the electronic warfare and SIAP (Single Integrated Air Picture) self-protection suite.
The A129 is equipped with infrared night vision systems and is capable of operating at day or night in all-weather conditions.
Laser systems are fitted onto newer aircraft for range-finding and target designation purposes, the A129 can laser-designate targets for other friendly aircraft to attack.
On the AW129D, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems's Toplite III sight is used as the primary targeting system; it is able to act as a FLIR and has both manual and automatic target tracking modes, Toplite also provides a greater detection and identification range than the 1970s era HeliTOW sensor it replaced.
In 1998, Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) formally partnered with Agusta to offer various avionics and weapons upgrades to potential A129 operators; various IAI technologies have since been proposed and implemented on Italian A129s.
In 1999, AgustaWestland received a contract to produce the last batch of 15 A129s to the new combat CBT configuration; in late 2001, the Italian Army opted to have all of their A129s retrofitted to the improved A129 CBT standard.
As of 2011, AgustaWestland plans to modify a total of 24 A129s to the new ARH-129D aerial reconnaissance standard and manufacture a further 24 new-built ARH-129Ds for the Italian Army.
In Italian service, the Mangusta has successfully deployed on several United Nations missions in nations such as the Republic of Macedonia, Somalia and Angola.
The A-129 proved to be suitable in the peacekeeping role and well-suited to operations in hot climates; the type was reported to have been highly reliable and extremely flexible during the deployment to Somalia.
The upgrades, which are to enter service prior to 2020, focus on increasing the A129's endurance, speed, situational awareness, and information-handling capabilities; other goals included a reduction in pilot workload and integrating the aircraft with future tactical UAVs.
A revealed alternative that was considered and rejected was the replacement of the type with an attack-orientated variant of the newer AgustaWestland AW149 helicopter, upgrading the existing A129s was considered to be less risky and time-consuming.
In March 2016, the Italian government announced that it was deploying four A129 attack helicopters and four NHIndustries NH90 transport helicopters along with 130 personnel to the Kurdistan region of Iraq to perform combat search and rescue mission as part of a multinational effort to help combat Islamic State militants within the region and specifically to protect the Mosul Dam.
The wild tomatillo and related plants are found everywhere in the Americas except in the far north, with the highest diversity in Mexico.
In 2017, scientists reported on their discovery and analysis of a fossil tomatillo found in the Patagonian region of Argentina, dated to 52 million years BP.
Tomatillos were domesticated in Mexico before the coming of Europeans, and played an important part in the culture of the Maya and the Aztecs, more important than the tomato.
Transplants that were produced indoors need to harden off in a warm, sunny place for a few days before being planted outside.
Irrigation frequency is depending on weather and crop's growth stage from once or twice a week to daily during hot weather periods.
A single plant produces 60 to 200 fruits within a single growing season, with an average yield of about 9 tons per acre.
Purple and red-ripening cultivars often have a slight sweetness, unlike the green- and yellow-ripening cultivars, so generally are used in jams and preserves.
Another characteristic is they tend to have a varying degree of a sappy, sticky coating, mostly when used on the green side out of the husk.
Tomatillos can also be dried to enhance the sweetness of the fruit in a way similar to dried cranberries, with a hint of tomato flavor.
The tomatillo flavor is used in fusion cuisines for blending flavors from Latin American dishes with those of Europe and North America.
They are typically about one meter in height, and can either be compact and upright or prostrate with a wider, less dense canopy.
Tomatillo can thus produce seeds through self-pollination due to the involvement of self-compatibility traits but the germination viability is different throughout the produced seeds.
Symptoms of tomato yellow leaf curl virus, including chlorotic margins and interveinal yellowing, were found in several tomato and tomatillo crops in Mexico and Guatemala in 2006.
Turnip mosaic virus was discovered in several tomatillo crops in California in 2011, rendering 2% of commercially grown tomatillo plants unmarketable, with severe stunting and leaf distortion.
The green peach aphid is a common pest in California, and since it readily transmits the turnip mosaic virus, this could be a threat to tomatillo production in California.
Marks was a neighborhood friend of the original band members while growing up in Hawthorne, California, and was a frequent participant at the Wilson family Sunday night singalongs.
Afterward, Marks worked with acts including Casey Kasem's Band Without a Name, the Moon, Delaney & Bonnie, Colours and Warren Zevon, and studied jazz and classical guitar at the Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory.
At age seven, David Lee Marks moved into a house across the street from the family home of the three Wilson brothers, Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson, later to become the founding members of The Beach Boys.
When they got older, Brian started sleeping in the den more and more, which was a converted garage they had turned into a music room.
Inspired by a 1958 performance by guitarist John Maus (later of the 1960s Walker Brothers), Marks asked his parents to buy him a guitar, which they did on Christmas Eve, 1958.
Over the next couple of months, Brian experimented with various combinations of musicians, including his mother Audree Wilson, but was not able to secure interest from a major label.
Writing about the difference between the Beach Boys' Candix Records single and their first Capitol Records release, Stebbins stated: Compared to 'Surfin', this was metal.
And the tiny amateurish guitar sound and lazy feel of the [earlier demo] World Pacific version of 'Surfin' Safari' had now transformed into something crisp and modern.
Marks also played over 100 concerts with the Beach Boys, toured across the United States with them, and appeared on their first string of national TV appearances.
While his time in the band was relatively short, Marks contributed to their tightly-knit foundational sound, as well as their youthful look on the early Beach Boys' album covers.
Although it is often assumed that Marks left the Beach Boys because Jardine wanted to return to the band, this was not the case.
Jardine initially returned on a part-time basis to fill-in on bass for Brian Wilson, who had already begun to detach himself from the touring band as early as the spring of 1963.
At the height of their first initial wave of international success, Marks quit the Beach Boys in late August 1963 toward the end of the group's summer tour during an argument with Murry Wilson, the Wilson boys' father and the band's manager, but did not immediately leave the band until later that year when his parents and Murry came to blows over financial and managerial issues.
The first show without Marks on guitar was October 19, 1963, though he would stay friends and be in close contact with various band members for many years, and he would remain, unbeknownst to him, a legal member of the Beach Boys until September 27, 1967.
In February 1963, Dennis Wilson was injured in a car accident and his replacement was Mark Groseclose, who went to high school with Carl Wilson.
The band was initially a side project for the aspiring songwriter, who was growing tired of his songs being passed over for Beach Boys records by Murry Wilson.
After Marks left the Beach Boys, the Marksmen became his full-time focus, becoming one of the first acts to be signed to Herb Alpert's A&M Records in 1964.
Later, the group signed with (and released a single on) Warner Bros. Records, but in spite of packed concert venues up and down the state of California, lack of airplay precluded any further releases.
He then worked with the late 1960s psychedelic pop band, The Moon, along with Matt Moore, Larry Brown, and David Jackson.
By the time Marks was 21 years old, he had been signed to five label deals and had grown disillusioned with the Los Angeles music scene.
In 1969, he relocated to Boston, where he studied jazz and classical guitar as a private student at the Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory of Music in 1970–71.
In early 1971, after reuniting onstage in Boston with the Beach Boys, despite a public and chilly reception from Bruce Edwards, Marks received an offer from Mike Love to rejoin the band, but he declined.
Marks was also offered the lead guitarist spot in Paul Revere and the Raiders, but turned down the offer because he did not want to dress up in a revolutionary war-era costume every time he played a show.
In 1988, when the Beach Boys were inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Marks was neither invited nor acknowledged at the ceremony, an oversight which was finally rectified in 2007.
Marks eventually rejoined the Beach Boys as a full-time member playing lead guitar in 1997, when Carl Wilson, fighting cancer, was unable to continue touring with the group.
After playing another 300 shows as an official Beach Boy again, Marks left the band for a second time in 1999 due to his own health issues when he was diagnosed with hepatitis C.
On May 20, 2005, the original Beach Boys six-man line-up (including both Marks and Jardine) was memorialized on the Beach Boys Historic Landmark in Hawthorne, California.
On December 16, 2011 it was announced that Marks would be reuniting with Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, and Bruce Johnston for a new Beach Boys album and 50th anniversary tour in 2012.
The group appeared at the 2012 Grammy Awards on February 12, followed by a 50-date tour that began in Tucson, Arizona in April.
He and Carl committed on playing guitar since they were ten years old and were neighbors with each other from across the street in Hawthorne.
Following the 50th anniversary tour, it was announced that Marks along with Wilson and Jardine would no longer continue to tour with Johnston and Love; instead, Marks appeared with Jardine and Wilson along with Wilson's band for a short summer tour in 2013 featuring the three.
The following fall, Wilson, Jardine, and Marks joined guitar legend Jeff Beck for a 23 city tour, the foursome appearing on the Jimmy Fallon show to promote their tour.
For 2015, Marks and Jardine added vocals to Wilson's solo album (released April 2015); however, Marks was not a part of Wilson's Summer tour to promote the album, instead making several appearances with Love/Johnston's Beach Boys group during the rest of 2015.
Marks and his wife, Carrieann, relocated to southern California in 2013 after living for a decade in North Salem, New York.
Alta Velocidad Española (AVE) is a service of high-speed rail in Spain operated by Renfe, the Spanish national railway company, at speeds of up to .
As of August 2017, the Spanish AVE system is the longest HSR network in Europe with and the second longest in the world, after China's.
AVE trains are operated by RENFE, but private companies may be allowed to operate trains in the future using other brands, in accordance with European Union legislation.
Some TGV-derived trains used to run on the broad-gauge network at slower speeds, but these were branded separately as Euromed until new rolling stock was commissioned for these services.
Towards the end of the 1980s a new line was planned to join the Castilian Meseta with Andalusia without passing through the Despeñaperros Natural Park.
After considering various options it was decided that a standard-gauge line, allowing for Spain's first high-speed rail link, would be built.
Seven days later on 21 April 1992 commercial service began with six daily services stopping at Madrid, Seville, Córdoba, Puertollano and Ciudad Real.
Seville's hosting of the 1992 World's Fair prompted the choice of that city for the inaugural AVE line, with its being the home town of then Spanish president Felipe Gonzalez also playing some role.
Seville is the artistic, cultural, and financial capital of southern Spain and the , after Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, with a population of over 700,000 and a metropolitan area of almost 1.5 million people.
In 1994 AVE trains on the Madrid–Seville line began to run at 300 km/h, cutting journey times by at least 40 minutes and covering the 471 km in hours, though it is unlikely that much of a saving came from the increase in maximum speed, because only a small section of the line near Los Yébenes has the alignments for 300 km/h operation.
The maximum permitted speed is 270 km/h between Atocha station and Brazatortas, save for the approaches to the intermediate stations (Atocha, Ciudad Real and Puertollano).
Beyond Brazatortas, the line is only authorised for 250 km/h operation, which drops to 215 km/h in the Sierra Morena mountains and 90 km/h around Córdoba station.
The last segment of the Madrid–Málaga high-speed rail line was completed on 24 December 2007 when the new high speed railway section between the cities of Córdoba and Málaga was inaugurated.
It is a standard gauge railway line of 155 km in length and is designed for speeds of 300 km/h (186 mph).
In October 2015 an extension of the Madrid-Seville high-speed rail line to Cádiz was completed after 14 years of works and put in service by Alvia trains for speeds up to 200 km/h.
In November 2003 a new service began between Seville and Córdoba using new class 104 trains, reducing journey times between the two cities to 40 minutes.
In 2005 the brand was renamed RENFE Avant, and all services started to use trains, leaving class 100 for AVE services.
The construction of a stretch of high-speed line from Madrid to Toledo allowed the inauguration of a medium distance service in November 2005.
The high-speed link combined with high property prices in Madrid has encouraged many Madrid commuters to settle in Ciudad Real, the first stop on the Madrid–Seville line.
There has, however, been controversy over the construction of this line as the change to standard-gauge track meant that towns such as Getafe, Aranjuez and Algodor, which now have no commercial services, lost their direct services to Toledo.
Furthermore, since Toledo is now connected by standard-gauge track it is impossible for other passenger or goods trains to reach it that have not come from other high-speed lines.
The Madrid–Zaragoza –Barcelona line was inaugurated on 20 February 2008, after parts of the line had operated since 2003 (Madrid–Zaragoza–Lleida) and 2006 (Lleida–Tarragona).
This line is currently one of the world's fastest long-distance trains in commercial operation, with non-stop trains covering the between the two cities in just 2 hours 30 minutes, and those calling at all stations in 3 hours 10 minutes.
The first instalment of a high-speed rail corridor in the north and north-west of Spain was the 179.6 km section Madrid–Segovia–Valladolid which was put in operation on 22 December 2007.
Valladolid will become the hub for all AVE lines connecting the north and north-west of Spain with the rest of the country.
On April 24, 2010, it was announced a 55 km high-speed spur would leave the Madrid–Valladolid route at Segovia and continue to Ávila.
In the north-west of Spain the Madrid–Galicia high-speed rail line is scheduled to be completed in 2019 when the Olmedo–Zamora–Santiago de Compostela part will be connected to the Madrid–Leon line at Olmedo south of Valladolid.
The 87.1 km northern section between Ourense and Santiago de Compostela was inaugurated in December 2011 and the 107 km southern section, between Olmedo (130 km north of Madrid on the Madrid–Leon line) and Zamora entered revenue service on 17 December 2015 by Alvia trains.
This line will be connected in the region of Galicia with the 156 km Atlantic Axis high-speed rail line that connects the cities of Vigo and A Coruña via Santiago de Compostela.
The Atlantic Axis was inaugurated in April 2015 and the section A Coruña–Santiago de Compostela opened in 2009 and was electrified in 2011.
On 22 January 2018 the extension section of the line to Castellón was inaugurated introducing a new AVE service Madrid-Castellón which cut the journey time between the two cities by further 30 minutes to total 2 hours and 25 minutes.
The AVE service from Madrid to Murcia is expected to be operational by 2020, and work is being prepared to extend the line to Cartagena.
When fully operational the Madrid–Levante network will total 955 km of high-speed rail connecting Madrid, Cuenca, Albacete, Valencia, Alicante, Elche, Castellón, Murcia and Cartagena.
A milestone for the AVE network was reached in December 2013 when it was connected to the rest of Europe via France.
The connecting link was the construction of the Barcelona–Figueres section of the Perpignan–Barcelona high-speed line, an extension of the Madrid–Barcelona line, completed in January 2013 at a cost of €3.7 billion.
The central hub of the AVE system is Madrid's Puerta de Atocha, except for the Madrid–León line, which terminates at Chamartín station.
They can run on high-speed lines at a maximum of , and can also change between standard- and Iberian-gauge lines without stopping.
Currently there are five corridors with ten main lines in operation, and two spur lines connecting the cities of Toledo with the Madrid–Seville main line and Huesca with the Madrid–Barcelona main line.
The Madrid–Zamora line is the open section of the under construction Madrid–Galicia high-speed rail line connecting Madrid to Zamora via Segovia.
The Atlantic Axis high-speed railway line is connecting the two main cities of Vigo and A Coruña (Corunna) via Santiago de Compostela in the northwestern Spanish region of Galicia.
The railway, 155.6 km in length, is an upgrade of the former non electrified single railway line between the town of Ferrol and the Portuguese border for the part between A Coruña and Vigo, into a double electrified high-speed line.
The new railway was inaugurated in April 2015 and shortened the distance between the two cities by 22 km, from 178 km to 156 km, and cut the travel time from around 3 hours on the old railway down to 1 hour and 20 minutes on the new one.
The line will be connected at Santiago de Compostela with the Madrid–Galicia high-speed rail line, which as of 2019 is under construction.
Madrid–Barcelona high-speed railway line connects Madrid with Barcelona in the north east of Spain passing through the cities of Guadalajara, Calatayud, Zaragoza (Saragossa), Lleida (Lérida) and Tarragona where the future Tarragona–Valencia high-speed railway line will connect.
The line has a length of 621 km and a travel time of two and a half hours for the direct trains using the route avoiding entering Zaragoza (Saragossa) and Lleida (Lérida).
Direct trains Barcelona–Seville and Barcelona–Malaga that do not make a stop in Madrid are also scheduled combining the Madrid–Barcelona line with one of the southern corridor's existing lines.
Nine Spanish services initially serviced the line, with 8 being a through service to Madrid, which also connected with two French TGV services from Paris.
The Zaragoza–Huesca section branches off from the Madrid–Barcelona line at Zaragoza and connects with the city of Huesca and serves the connection train station for regional trains in the town of Tardienta.
The Madrid–Castellón line connects the city of Castellón with the city of Madrid passing through the cities of Cuenca, Requena-Utiel and Valencia.
Direct trains to Valencia cover the 391 km in 98 minutes while thirty trains run every day between 05:00 and 21:00, fifteen in each direction.
For the service Madrid–Castellón AVE trains cover the distance in 2 hours and 25 minutes and 4 trains per day are scheduled, two in each direction.
Direct trains Valencia–Seville that do not make a stop in Madrid are also scheduled combining the existing lines of Madrid–Castellón and Madrid-Seville.
A 350 km/h line branches off from the Madrid–Castellón Line and connects the city of Alicante with the city of Madrid passing through the cities of Cuenca, Albacete and Villena.
Direct trains Toledo–Albacete were also scheduled in the past, combining four of the existing lines, but this service was eventually terminated due to low demand.
The Madrid–Seville high-speed railway line connects Madrid with Seville in the south of Spain, passing through the cities of Ciudad Real, Puertollano and Córdoba, where the Madrid–Málaga high-speed rail line branches off towards Málaga just outside Los Mochos near Almodóvar del Río.
The route travels across the plains of Castile, travelling through the Sierra Morena mountains just before reaching Córdoba, before going onward towards Seville through the largely flat land surrounding the Guadalquivir river.
The Madrid–Seville line was the first dedicated passenger high-speed rail line to be built in Spain and was completed in time for Seville's Expo 92.
The extension section of the Madrid-Seville high-speed rail line to Cádiz is served by Alvia trains that connect the city of Cádiz to Madrid and reach speeds up to 200 km/h in this section.
The line shares a common section with the Madrid–Seville high-speed rail line up to the city of Córdoba and then includes a 155 km long spur line up to the city of Málaga.
Apart from the traffic to and from the city of Málaga, the line also handles the traffic to the cities of Granada and Algeciras.
The Avant service between the two cities offers journey times of half an hour on trains with a maximum speed of 250 km/h.
The three times per day AVE service between Madrid Atocha and Granada covers the distance of 568 km in 3 h 5 min.
Also, there is a single daily service in each direction running along the Barcelona–Seville, Barcelona–Málaga, and Barcelona-Granada routes, which uses the high-speed bypass around Madrid to avoid reversing the direction of train in Atocha station.
The electric line is currently being installed, with these works expected to be completed in early 2018, and service started within the same year.
The Madrid–Galicia high-speed rail line will connect the city of Madrid with the region of Galicia and the Atlantic Axis high-speed rail line in the North West of Spain via Santiago de Compostela.
The line will include a new 424 km long high-speed railway section that starts at Olmedo 130 km to the north of Madrid on the Madrid–Leon high-speed rail line and ends at Santiago de Compostela.
Construction on the northernmost part of this section between the cities of Ourense and Santiago de Compostela began late 2004 and this part was inaugurated in December 2011.
Constructions on the central part, which crosses some of Spain's most remote and fragile nature areas, are expected be completed by end 2019.
The new under construction section branches off the Valladolid–Vitoria high-speed section at Venta de Baños: 205 km north of Madrid and then reaches the cities of Oviedo and Gijón via Palencia and León.
Construction started in 2009 (except variante de pajares which started 2003) and reached León in September 2015 and expected to reach Oviedo and Gijón after 2020.
Originally it was to be used as a mixed-use high-speed railway line, but it has since been changed to a passenger-dedicated railway line, leaving the existing railway line for freight trains.
However, due to delays the line is not expected to open before 2023, although the Valladolid–Burgos section is expected to enter full revenue service in 2019.
However, due to delays in construction, the line is expected to put in service in 2023 according to the new estimations.
The three Basque capitals will be further connected with Madrid via Valladolid, and with the French border via Irun and Bayonne.
The tunnel passes under the streets of Provença and Mallorca, using a short part of the Diagonal to link between these streets.
In the Carrer de Mallorca, the tunnel passes directly in front of Gaudí's masterpiece, the basilica of the Sagrada Família, and in the Carrer de Provença, another Gaudí work, the Casa Milà.
In a long campaign against this route, the Board of the Sagrada Família and other parties argued that the tunnel would damage the church, whose construction is still in progress.
Rail traffic is planned to start in 2012, initially without stops at the La Sagrera station, which is expected to be completed in 2016.
In March 2012, railway equipment was installed, with a special elastic isolation of the rails in order to dampen vibrations at the sections passing close to Gaudí's architectural works, using the Edilon system.
This is an under construction section, part of the Madrid–Levante network of high-speed railways connecting the capital with the Mediterranean coast.
Consisting of of railways with an estimated cost of 12.5 billion euros, it is the most expensive high-speed railway project in Spain.
The network will consist of both dedicated passenger high-speed railways designed for trains running above and high-speed railways shared with freight trains.
The network is to be opened in stages, starting with the Madrid–Valencia/Albacete section, which was opened in December 2010, followed by Albacete–Alicante in June 2013, Valencia–Castellón in January 2018, while Valencia–Alicante is expected to follow in 2019 and finally reaching the city of Murcia by 2020 with a branch line to Cartagena.
The southern Andalusian transverse high-speed railway line is a 503.7-kilometre railway running between the cities of Huelva and Almería, passing the cities of Seville and Granada.
The line is designed for speeds up to 250 kilometres per hour, except for the 130-kilometre Antequera–Granada and the 103-kilometre Seville–Huelva parts of the line, which are designed for speeds in excess of 300 kilometres per hour.
When finished the journey between Huelva and Almería in the new line is estimated to last 3 hours and 35 minutes.
The first section of the line between Antequera and Granada was put in service on 26 June 2019 connecting the city of Granada to the rest of the high speed network via the Madrid–Málaga high-speed rail line.
This high-speed railway line will be part passenger-dedicated high-speed railway (Madrid–Alcázar de San Juan) and part shared with freight trains (Alcázar de San Juan–Jaén).
From Alcázar de San Juan the existing railway line will be upgraded to allow passenger trains to run up to 250 km/h; a new double-tracked route through the Despeñaperros mountain range will be built to replace the existing single-tracked route.
An extension of the line to Granada is being investigated; however, the complicated terrain between Jaén and Granada might make it uneconomical.
The journey from the centre of Barcelona to the centre of Girona takes now 37 minutes (compared to the hour and a half it took), and to Figueres in 53 minutes (instead of two hours).
One lacking high-speed section on the French side, between Montpellier and Nîmes, is scheduled to open in July 2018, allowing almost continuous high-speed travel from the French high-speed network to the Spanish one.
The French government, on the other hand, recently announced indefinite delays to the Montpellier-Perpignan high speed section that was originally planned for 2020.
The final section between Almería and Algeciras, passing through Málaga, will be built at a later point of time and an alternative and longer route looks likely.
This line was initially planned as Lisbon–Madrid high-speed rail line in order to connect the two peninsular capitals, Madrid and Lisbon in 2 hours and 45 minutes.
This line had been a key issue in bilateral summits in recent years and was about to link Spain's high-speed rail network with the planned High-speed rail in Portugal, a project announced by the Portuguese government in February 2009.
Both Spanish and Portuguese track were to be completed around 2013, later the Portuguese government brought forward its plans from 2015 but the Portuguese froze works in June 2011 and eventually cancelled the project in March 2012.
In 2016 the European Union's European Regional Development Fund, gave Spain €205.1m towards the €312.1m needed for the track between Navalmoral de la Mata and Mérida, Spain.
With a length of 439 km on the Spanish side, of which 48 km are part of the already built Madrid–Seville high-speed rail line, it will connect cities like Talavera de la Reina, Navalmoral de la Mata, Plasencia, Cáceres, Mérida and Badajoz.
It is a concrete arch bridge with a span of 384 meters (1,260 feet), ranking among the longest in the world of this type of bridge.
Finally, the Madrid–Barcelona line currently terminates in Barcelona's Estació de Sants, but a new station is under construction at La Sagrera on the northern edge of the city.
In the long term, the Spanish government has an ambitious plan to make of high-speed railway operational, with all provincial capitals at most only 4 hours from Madrid, and hours from Barcelona.
This plan initially had a ten-year scope, ending in 2020, and its ambition was to make the network reach by the end of that year.
When both programs will be completed, the Spanish high-speed network will be the most extensive network in Europe, with several operational links with France and Portugal, and this is the most ambitious high-speed rail plan in the European Union.
The 430 km high-speed line will connect Ferrol in Galicia with Bilbao in the Basque Country passing through the regions of Asturias and Cantabria along the Cantabrian Sea coast in the north Spain.
The line will be further connected to the Atlantic Axis high-speed rail line on the west, the Basque Y high-speed railway line on the east and the north corridor (future Madrid-Gijón high-speed railway line) in Asturias region.
The travel time between El Ferrol and Bilbao in the new line is estimated to last 1 hour and 48 minutes.
The line will connect the Valencian Community with the Basque Country region and the French border passing through the regions of Aragon, Navarre and La Rioja, with further connection to the TGV network via Irun towards Bordeaux and Paris.
The line will include two connections between the region of Aragon and the Basque Country, one via Pamplona in Navarre towards the French border and one via Logroño in La Rioja towards Bilbao.
The travel time between Valencia and Bilbao in the new high-speed line will be decreased from 9 hours down to roughly 4 hours.
A new high-capacity rail connecting Spain with France on international standard gauge track is considered via a 40 km tunnel through the central Pyrenees mountains.
The line, also called Trans-Pyrenean Central Corridor () or TCP project, will serve both passenger high-speed trains as well as large freight trains and will connect directly Zaragoza to Toulouse via Huesca a distance of 355 km in length.
Ten possible alternatives are being considered for crossing the mountains, all of them including tunnels at low altitude and other possible stops include Tarbes or Pau.
A new high-speed line is planned to branch off from the current Madrid–Leon high-speed rail line at Palencia and as a part of the north corridor will connect the region of Cantabria to the high-speed rail network with direct connection to Madrid.
An agreement for completing the line by the end of 2015 was signed on 11 August 2010 including the agreement to call tenders for the section between Palencia and Villaprovedo before the end of March 2011 and for the Villaprovedo – Reinosa section before the end of 2012.
Though the network length is extensive, it lags in ridership behind comparable high-speed rail systems in Japan, France, Germany, China, Taiwan, and Korea.
They accept the leadership of the Bishop of Rome, known as the papal primacy, and therefore are in full communion with the Catholic Church, including both the Latin Church and the 22 other Eastern Catholic Churches.
The 451 Council of Chalcedon caused problems for the Armenian Church which formally broke off communion with the Chalcedonian Churches at the 3rd Synod of Dvin in 610, some Armenian bishops and congregations especially the Church of Caucasian Albania made attempts to restore communion with the Chalcedonian Churches after the 6th Ecumenical Council of 681.
During the Crusades, the Church of the Armenian kingdom of Cilicia entered into a union with the Catholic Church, an attempt that did not last.
The union was later re-established during the Council of Florence in 1439, but did not have any real effects for centuries.
In Medieval China, Armenians in China were converted to Catholicism by John of Montecorvino in Beijing and there was also an Armenian Franciscan Catholic community in Quanzhou.
An Armenian Catholic community was also previously formed by Armenians living in Poland in 1630s the Armenian bishop of Leopolis (see Armenian Catholic Archeparchy of Lviv), Nicholas (Polish: Mikołaj) Torosowicz had entered into union with the Catholic Church.
The community which had been historically centered in Galicia as well as in the pre-1939 Polish borderlands in the east, was after World War II expelled to present-day Poland and now has three parishes: in Gdańsk, in Gliwice and in Warsaw.
The church belongs to the group of Eastern Rite Catholic churches and uses the Armenian Rite and the Armenian language in its liturgy.
The Armenian Rite is also used by both the Armenian Apostolic Church and by a significant number of Eastern Catholic Christians in the Republic of Georgia.
Unlike the Byzantine Church, churches of the Armenian rite are usually devoid of icons and have a curtain concealing the priest and the altar from the people during parts of the liturgy.
The use of bishop's mitre and of unleavened bread is reminiscent of the influence Western missionaries once had upon both the miaphysite Orthodox Armenians as well as upon the Armenian Rite Catholics.
Apart from Armenia, Georgia and Russia, Armenian Catholic Church is found widely in the Armenian diaspora, notably in Lebanon (where the Armenian Catholic Church is headquartered), Syria, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, France, U.S.A., Canada, Argentina, Uruguay, Australia.
In 1991, after the fall of the Soviet Union, the Bishop of Rome, Pope John Paul II merged the communities in Georgia and Russia with those in Armenia, creating a new ordinariate of Armenia and Eastern Europe, with its residence in Gyumri.
Today Catholic Armenians of Samtskhe-Javakheti live together in Akhaltsikhe and in the nearby villages, as well as in the regions of Akhalkalaki and Ninotsminda.
The communities in the last two regions, which are mainly rural, are in rather distant areas, but the most important link is the historical memory of Catholicism.
A small seminary was established in Gyumri, Armenia, in 1994; there candidates for the priesthood engage in basic studies before moving to the Pontifical College of the Armenians (established 1885) in Rome, where they pursue philosophy and theology.
There are also tens of thousands of Armenian Catholics in Russia, due to the large amount of migration from Armenia to Russia that has occurred since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
In the 19th century Catholic Armenians from Western Armenia, mainly from the towns and cities of Karin (Erzurum), Constantinople, Mardin etc., came to the United States seeking employment.
At the end of the same century, many survivors of the Hamidian Massacres had concentrated in several U.S. cities, chiefly in New York.
Many Armenians came to the United States and Canada from the Middle Eastern countries of Lebanon and Syria in the 1970s and in later years.
At the same time, many Catholic Armenians inside the United States moved to San Francisco, San Diego, Chicago, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Miami and Indianapolis.
The bishop, or eparch, of the diocese, which has jurisdiction over Canadian and American Catholics who are members of the Armenian Catholic Church, became Manuel Batakian.
According to a Monday, May 23, 2011 news release by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Pope Benedict XVI, named Archpriest Mikaël Antoine Mouradian, superior of the Convent of Notre Dame in Bzommar, Lebanon, as the new bishop of the Eparchy of Our Lady of Nareg in New York for Armenian Catholics.
The appointment of Lebanon-born Bishop Mouradian was publicized in Washington, May 21, by Archbishop Pietro Sambi, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States.
Next to North America, France holds the largest number of Armenian Catholics outside of the areas of the Middle East and Oriental Europe.
The eparchy has six churches apart from the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Paris: Arnouville-lès-Gonesse, Lyon, Marseille, Saint-Chamond, Sèvres and Valence.
A community of Mekhitarist Fathers resides in Sèvres and a convent of Armenian Sisters of the Immaculate Conception runs a school in Marseille.
Malachia Ormanian, a historian and an Armenian Apostolic Patriarch of Constantinople, estimated 136,400 Armenian Catholics worldwide in his 1911 book: 83,500 (61%) in the Ottoman Empire, 30,000 in the Russian Empire, 15,000 in Europe (Poland, Italy, Austria), 5,000 in Bukovina and Hungary, 1,500 in Egypt and 1,400 in Persia.
The 1897 imperial census in Russia found 38,840 Catholic Armenians, while 1914 Ottoman government statistics provided 67,838 as the number of Catholic Armenians.
A 1971 article by United Press International (UPI) estimated the number of adherents of the Armenian Catholic Church at around 100,000.
According to the 2011 census in Armenia there were 13,247 Catholics (of any ethnicity) in the country, far below the 600,000 figure.
The Armenian Catholic Church is broken into Archdioceses, Eparchies, Apostolic Exarchates, Ordinariates for the Faithful of the Eastern Rite and Patriarchal Exarchates, each of which have functions similar to a diocese.
The Prime Minister of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic is the head of government of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), a government in exile based in the Sahrawi refugee camps of Tindouf, Algeria.
However, most of the children were only separated from their parents or sent purposely in the Savoy mountains which was then under Italian rule.
The Gestapo, under the direction of the 'Butcher of Lyon' Klaus Barbie, entered the orphanage and forcibly removed the forty-four children and their seven supervisors, throwing the crying and terrified children on to the trucks.
Two of the oldest children and Miron Zlatin, the superintendent, ended up in Tallinn, Estonia, and were killed by a firing squad.
Gérard Latortue (born June 19, 1934 at Gonaïves) was the Prime Minister of Haïti from March 12, 2004 to June 9, 2006.
He was an official in the United Nations for many years, and briefly served as foreign minister of Haïti during the short-lived 1988 administration of Leslie Manigat.
Latortue was selected by the Council and appointed head of the interim government on March 9 while still living in the United States, and was sworn in on March 12.
His administration was recognized by the United Nations, the United States, Canada and The European Union and denied recognition by a few governments, including the governments of Jamaica and St Kitts and Nevis, Venezuela and Cuba, as well as the African Union.
The 2006 elections in Haiti, to replace the interim government of Gérard Latortue put in place after the 2004 Haitian coup d'état, were delayed four times after having been originally scheduled for October and November 2005.
The uakaris are unusual among New World monkeys in that the tail length (15–18 cm) is substantially less than their head and body length (40–45 cm).
The bald uakari, remarkable for its brilliant scarlet complexion, is found north of the Amazon River, and south of the Japurá River in the Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve.
The Neblina uakari is found north of the Rio Negro, west of the Rio Marauiá and east of the Casiquiare canal.
Uakaris are typically lethargic and silent in zoo conditions, but in the wild they are agile and active, capable of leaps of over 6 meters.
When traveling through the forest they move in the lower branches of the trees, though when foraging they also go up to the canopy.
Deposits from the eruption have been found in a radial distribution around Maninjau extending up to to the east, to the southeast, and west to the present coastline.
Since 1983, this water has been used to generate hydroelectric power for West Sumatra, generated around 68 MW at maximum load.
The villages are bordered uphill by a large belt of forest-like tree gardens, which dissolve into the upper montane forest on the steepest parts of the slopes up to the ridge of the caldera.
Piccadilly is a 1929 British silent drama film directed by E. A. Dupont, written by Arnold Bennett and starring Gilda Gray, Anna May Wong, and Jameson Thomas.
This film was initially released as a silent in February 1929, however with the advent of sound sweeping through the film industry at the time, the studio re-released the film later that same year in June for cinemas wired for sound.
This version included a music score and sound effects by Harry Gordon, along with a five minute sound prologue with Jameson Thomas who plays Valentine Wilmot in the film and John Longden as the Man From China, which was filmed after the main filming was completed.
In 2004, the film was re-released by Milestone Films after an extensive restoration, with music scored by Neil Brand, replacing the original music-and-sound effects soundtrack.
Valentine Wilmot's London nightclub and restaurant, Piccadilly Circus, is a great success due to his star attraction, dancing partners Mabel (Gilda Gray) and Vic (Cyril Ritchard).
After the performance, Vic tries to persuade Mabel to become his partner offstage as well as on, and to go to Hollywood with him.
She pleads with her romantic rival to give Wilmot up, saying he is too old for her, but Shosho replies that it is Mabel who is too old, and that she will keep him.
When Mabel reaches into her purse for a handkerchief, Shosho sees a pistol inside and grabs a dagger used as a wall decoration.
Incumbent Prime Minister and acting President Vladimir Putin, who had succeeded Boris Yeltsin on his resignation on 31 December 1999, was seeking a four-year term in his own right and won the elections in the first round.
Months later, in the wake of the August 1998 economic crisis in which the government defaulted on its debt and devalued the rouble simultaneously, Kirienko was replaced in favor of Yevgeny Primakov.
Putin was not expected to last long in the role and was initially unknown and unpopular due to his ties to the Yeltsin government and state security.
The bombings, blamed on the Chechens, provided the opportunity for Putin to position himself as a strong and aggressive leader, capable of dealing with the Chechen threat.
On December 19, 1999, the Kremlin's Unity Party finished second in the Parliamentary elections with 23 percent; the Communist Party was first with 24 percent.
By forming a coalition with Yabloko and the Union of Right Forces, Yeltsin had secured a favorable majority in the Duma.
The elections would be held on 26 March 2000, as Russian law required an election to be scheduled three months after the office of president is vacated.
The Duma had originally passed legislation scheduling the first round of the election for June 4, with a runoff scheduled for June 25 in necessitated.
In early 2000, Unity and the Communist Party had developed an alliance in the Duma that effectively cut off Putin's rivals, Yevgeny Primakov, Grigory Yavlinsky, and Sergei Kiriyenko.
Yuri Luzhkov, the reelected Mayor of Moscow, announced that he would not compete for the presidency; Primakov pulled out two weeks after the parliamentary elections.
It required that candidates gather a million signatures to be nominated (although the shortened election meant this was reduced to 500,000).
The new law, in conjunction with the early election would have further helped Putin, who could rely on favorable state television coverage.
Zyuganov ran on a platform of resistance to wholesale public ownership although illegally privatized property would be returned to the state.
He wanted stronger oversight of public money, an end to the black market and reform of the tax system coinciding with an increase in public services.
He also advocated for a strengthened role for the State Duma and a reduction in the size of the civil bureaucracy.
He was the most pro-Western candidate, but only to an extent as he had been critical of the war in Chechnya yet remained skeptical of NATO.
Because he refused to participate in the debates, Putin's challengers had no venue in which to challenge his program, vague as it may be.
Uncritical state television coverage of Putin's oversight of the conflict in Chechnya helped him to consolidate his popularity as Prime Minister, even as Yeltsin's popularity as President fell.
The decision to conduct the presidential elections also in Chechnya was perceived as controversial by many observers due to the military campaign and security concerns.
The TV channel ORT launched a slanderous campaign against Yavlinsky's image as his ratings started to rise sharply, and broadcasters generally nearly ignored candidates who did not fulfill interests of their owners.
Multiple Western journalists (such as the Boston Globe's David Fillipov) had been either detained or expelled from the country because they strayed from Russian military guidance in Chechnya.
Under both Yeltsin and Putin, the Kremlin apparatus was applying financial pressure to Media-Most, a media holding group which had been unfriendly in their coverage.
On the other hand, Zyuganov received much fairer media coverage than he had been subject to in the previous presidential election.
Polling stations were open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Putin won on the first ballot with 53.4% of the vote.
The ancient Greek mathematicians knew how to construct a regular polygon with 3, 4, or 5 sides, and they knew how to construct a regular polygon with double the number of sides of a given regular polygon.
Since there are 31 combinations of anywhere from one to five Fermat primes, there are 31 known constructible polygons with an odd number of sides.
Since there are 5 known Fermat primes, we know of 31 numbers that are products of distinct Fermat primes, and hence 31 constructible odd-sided regular polygons.
These are 3, 5, 15, 17, 51, 85, 255, 257, 771, 1285, 3855, 4369, 13107, 21845, 65535, 65537, 196611, 327685, 983055, 1114129, 3342387, 5570645, 16711935, 16843009, 50529027, 84215045, 252645135, 286331153, 858993459, 1431655765, 4294967295 .
This pattern breaks down after this, as the next Fermat number is composite (4294967297 = 641 × 6700417), so the following rows do not correspond to constructible polygons.
It is unknown whether any more Fermat primes exist, and it is therefore unknown how many odd-sided constructible regular polygons exist.
It is straightforward to show from analytic geometry that constructible lengths must come from base lengths by the solution of some sequence of quadratic equations.
In terms of field theory, such lengths must be contained in a field extension generated by a tower of quadratic extensions.
It follows that a field generated by constructions will always have degree over the base field that is a power of two.
that are nested, each in the next (a composition series, in group theory terms), something simple to prove by induction in this case of an abelian group.
Moreover, these equations have real rather than complex roots, so in principle can be solved by geometric construction: this is because the work all goes on inside a totally real field.
In this way the result of Gauss can be understood in current terms; for actual calculation of the equations to be solved, the periods can be squared and compared with the 'lower' periods, in a quite feasible algorithm.
Only the first stage of the 65537-gon construction is shown; the constructions of the 15-gon, 17-gon, and 257-gon are given complete.
In the 1916 election, Henry Cabot Lodge defeated John F. Fitzgerald, former mayor of Boston and the maternal grandfather of John, Robert and Edward Kennedy.

Some prominent Cabots of Boston (Judge Cabot of the Boston Juvenile Court; Stephen Cabot, Headmaster of St. George's School, Middletown, R.I.; Dr. Hugh Cabot, Dean of Michigan University Medical School) along with the Pennsylvania branch of the Order of Founder and Patriots, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania counter-sued to prevent the change.
Point Pinole Regional Shoreline is a regional park on the shores of the San Pablo Bay, California (the northern arm of the San Francisco Bay), in the United States.
It includes the Dotson Family Marsh (formerly Breuner Marsh) and the Point Pinole Lagoon and hosts the North Richmond Shoreline Festival.
It is on the site of a number of former explosives factories; the largest of these was operated by the Giant Powder Company, which was relocated to this relatively remote spot following accidental explosions at its former sites in San Francisco and at Albany Hill.
Giant had built the first dynamite manufacturing plant in the United States at a site known as Glen Canyon Park, which started up on March 19, 1868.
On November 26, 1869, there was an explosion that destroyed every building on the site (including the fence around the plant).
Another explosion occurred at the Albany Hill plant in 1892, before Giant built its last plant in the lightly populated area of Pinole Point.
Although the Point Pinole factory operated until 1960, when Bethlehem Steel Company acquired the Atlas Powder Company and its assets, little trace of it now remains.
After several years, the East Bay Regional Park District succeeded and opened the property to the public as a park in 1973.
The other relic of the park's industrial past is the large number of eucalyptus glades groves which were planted around the factory site to buffer against potential explosions.
The park features the promontory of Point Pinole, located where the East Bay shoreline turns from running south towards Berkeley and Oakland to running eastwards, inland.
Geologically, it is a result of movement on the Hayward Fault which runs along its western edge, creating a low scarp.
It offers superb views across the bay in all directions, towards San Francisco to the southwest, Mount Tamalpais and the Marin Headlands to the northwest, inland across San Pablo Bay to the north and east, and Mt.
Fresh and ocean waters mix at this point, so the marine life is rich; a leisure pier has been built at the end of promontory, replacing a former jetty used by the factories, and is a popular location for angling.
The park is a mixture of grassland and woodland, with beaches and low cliffs, and it has a particularly rich bird life, including many ducks and shorebirds, and the endangered black rail.
The park is located on the Hayward Fault, whose exact position is marked by monuments erected by the United States Geological Survey.
The USGS has a seismometer posted along the Union Pacific Railroad, which divides the park from the mainland; the park is reached via a bridge across the railroad.
During this time, the playground was resurfaced with wood fiber, equipment replaced with a net climber and a stand-up spinner, and a wheelchair-accessible path and picnic tables was added.
On April 22, 2017, EBRPD dedicated the Atlas Road Bridge, a combination vehicle and wheelchair-compliant pedestrian bridge that connects to the San Francisco Bay Trail.
The new entrance provides a bridge over active railroad tracks, which had been a hazard for pedestrians approaching the park from the parking lot.
The new bridge is part of a multi-phase project that will eventually lead to additional picnic areas, a new playground and the route to a new interpretive center for the park.
At the same ceremony in April 2017, EBRPD also renamed and dedicated Breuner Marsh as the Dotson Family Marsh, honoring a family led by Reverend Richard Dotson, who had worked for many years to keep Breuner Marsh wild and open to the public, opposing several attempts to develop the tract for commercial ventures.
Dotson was able to organize residents of his own neighborhood in Richmond, Parchester, reminding them that the builder of their houses had promised they would always have access to the bay.
The Dotson Marsh restoration project is intended to adapt the PPS to a self-sustaining wetland complex that will include filtering polluted run-off water.
IV Corps was a corps-sized formation of the British Army, formed in both the First World War and the Second World War.
During the Second World War it served in Norway and Britain until, after Japan entered the war and India was threatened with attack, it was transferred there.
In 1876 a Mobilisation Scheme for eight army corps was published, with '4th Corps' headquartered at Dublin and comprising the regular units of Irish Command, supported with militia.
The 1901 Army Estimates (introduced by St John Brodrick when Secretary of State for War) allowed for six army corps based on the six regional commands: IV Corps was to be formed by Eastern Command with headquarters in London.
It was to comprise 27 artillery batteries (18 Regular, 6 Militia and 3 Volunteer) and 25 infantry battalions (8 Regular, 8 Militia and 9 Volunteers).
Under Army Order No 38 of 1907 the corps titles disappeared, but Eastern Command continued to be a major administrative organisation, controlling two cavalry brigades and one infantry division (4th Division).
It then fought at the Battle of Neuve Chapelle and subsidiary actions, the Battle of Aubers Ridge, and The Battle of Festubert, the Battle of Loos and associated actions.
The corps was initially holding a stretch of five miles from Loos to just south of Givenchy, between Gough's I Corps in the north and French IX Corps (part of d'Urbal's Tenth Army) in the south.
A surprise German attack on the evening of Sunday 21 May moved forward 800 yards, capturing 1,000 yards of the British front line.
The attack at Vimy never took place as IV Corps was incorporated into Gough's Reserve Army, where it remained in reserve during the Battle of the Ancre.
The corps also took part in the German Retreat to the Hindenburg Line, the Battle of Cambrai and associated actions, the First Battles of the Somme and associated actions, the Second Battle of the Somme, the Battle of St. Quentin Canal and associated actions, and the final advance in Picardy.
By the time of the battles of Aubers Ridge and Festubert (May 1915), IV Corps still had 7th and 8th Divisions under command, but had been reinforced by 49th (West Riding) Division of the Territorial Force.
Once the era of trench warfare had set in on the Western Front (1915–17), the BEF left its army corps in position for long periods, so that they became familiar with their sector, while rotating divisions as they required rest, training, or transfer to other sectors.
Thirteen different divisions passed through IV Corps during Wilson's eleven-month tenure, and only one, the 47th, stayed for longer than six months.
In December 1915 IV Corps consisted of 1st (formerly a regular division), 47th (London Territorials) and 15th (Scottish) Division and 16th (Irish) Division (both New Army).
In the spring it lost 1st, 15th and 16th Divisions and gained 2nd (formerly a regular division) from Gough's I Corps.
At this time, with the army having recently grown tenfold in size, there was little in the way of formal ongoing assessment of officers' performance, so Gough, the Reserve Army commander, passed on his informal (and low) opinion of the 2nd Division GOC William G. Walker, who was later relieved.
By August IV Corps contained two elite divisions, 63rd (Royal Naval) Division and 9th (New Army), under Bill Furse with Hugh Tudor as artillery commander.
Then the 63rd and 9th Divisions were taken away, then in October the whole Corps was transferred to Gough's Reserve Army on the Somme, although it was used as a holding formation rather than being deployed into the front line.
During 1916, able staff officers were still in short supply and such men were poached from IV Corps and its component divisions by Rawlinson for Fourth Army HQ.
The Corps was reformed in Alresford in Hampshire in February 1940 in anticipation of operations in Norway, or perhaps Finland (part of a projected intervention in the Russo-Finnish Winter War).
After the Norwegian campaign ended, the Corps first commanded most of the armoured reserves preparing to face the proposed German invasion of Britain (Operation Sea Lion), while the other corps headquarters which had been evacuated from Dunkirk in Operation Dynamo were reorganised.
In 1942, Corbett was appointed Chief of Staff of Middle East Command and Lieutenant General Noel Irwin took over IV Corps.
Following the Japanese conquest of Burma, several British divisions from Britain and the Middle East, and IV Corps headquarters, were deployed to India.
In 1944 the Japanese sought to disrupt Allied attacks into Burma by launching an attack of their own, codenamed U-Go, against Imphal.
At the start of the battle the Corps consisted of the Indian 17th, 20th and 23rd Divisions, with the Indian 50th Parachute Brigade and 254th Indian Tank Brigade.
The siege ended on 22 June, when troops from IV Corps met the relieving forces from XXXIII Corps north of Imphal.
From then until the monsoon ended later in the year, formations from IV Corps (the 5th Indian Division and the newly arrived 11th East African Division) cleared the Japanese from east of the Chindwin, and established several bridgeheads across the river.
The 19th Division was transferred to XXXIII Corps and IV Corps was switched to the right flank of the Army, advancing down the Gangaw valley west of the Chindwin, led by the East African 28th Infantry Brigade and an ad-hoc infantry formation, the Lushai Brigade.
The motorised 17th Indian division, with the M4 Sherman tanks of the 255th Indian Tank Brigade, followed up through these bridgeheads and struck deep into Japanese occupied territory to capture the vital transport and supply centre of Meiktila.
IV Corps now commanded the motorised 5th and 17th Indian Divisions, the 19th Indian Division (which remained on a mixed animal and motor transport establishment) and the 255th Tank Brigade.
During April, the 5th and 17th Divisions alternated in the lead of the final drive on Rangoon down the Sittang River valley, while the 19th Division secured the corps' line of communications.
Shortly after the fall of Rangoon, IV Corps was withdrawn from the control of Fourteenth Army and placed under the newly activated Twelfth Army.
Temporarily commanded by Lieutenant-General Francis Tuker, it was responsible for mopping up the remaining Japanese forces in Burma until the end of the war including the defeat of a large break-out in the Pegu Yoma.
Brahimi is a member of the Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor, the first global initiative to focus specifically on the link between exclusion, poverty and law.
He has also been a Member of the Global Leadership Foundation since 2008, an organization which works to promote good governance around the world.
He is currently a distinguished senior fellow at the Centre for the Study of Global Governance at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and a governing board member of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
He joined the campaign for independence in France in 1956, representing the National Liberation Front in South East Asia for five years.
Before his appointment in 2001 by the Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, he had served the U.N. as special representative to Haiti and to South Africa.
Before coming to the U.N., Brahimi, who represented the National Liberation Front in Tunis during Algeria's independence movement in 1956–1961, was an Arab League official (1984–1991) and the Algerian Minister for Foreign Affairs from 1991 until 1993.
On a visit to Baghdad in April 2004 to help determine how and when Iraqi elections can be held, he said that the recent violence threatened to delay Iraqi national assembly elections—the national assembly is to pick the president and write a constitution.
Brahimi suggested that the Iraq Interim Governing Council should be dissolved, and that most of its members should not have any role in the new government.
Most prominently, his criticism of Ahmed Chalabi has led to Chalabi's claim that Brahimi is an Arab nationalist who should have no role in determining the future of Iraq.
At the same time, close allies of Chalabi have been pushing claims that various world leaders and the UN took bribes from Saddam Hussein under the Oil for Food program.
In May 2004, Brahimi was supposed to play a large advisory role in the appointment of candidates, which ended up selecting as Iraq's new interim President and Prime Minister: Ghazi Mashal Ajil al-Yawer and Iyad Allawi, respectively.
On 5 February 2008, the UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki Moon, appointed Brahimi to lead a panel investigation on United Nations staff security in the wake of the Algiers bombings of 11 December 2007.
On 17 August 2012, Brahimi was appointed by the United Nations as the new peace envoy to Syria, replacing Kofi Annan.
On 13 May 2014, UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon announced that Brahimi would resign as the special envoy to Syria on 31 May 2014.
In March 2019, he is mandated by Abdelaziz Bouteflika to preside over the national conference that is to propose a new constitution and set the date of the presidential election.
He is married to Mila Bacic Brahimi, and has three children: Salah Brahimi is the CEO of Grey Matter International, a consultant company, located in Washington, DC, where he lives with his wife, Dr. Doaa Taha, and his two children; Princess Rym al-Ali, who was a CNN correspondent in Baghdad during the 2003 Iraq War, is married to Prince Ali bin Hussein.
She lives in Amman, Jordan, with her husband and two children, Jalila and Abdullah ibn Ali; and Salem Brahimi, who lives in Paris, France, just a block away from his parents, with his wife Lawrence Brahimi, and his two children.
It is meant as a supplement to PCI slots, a replacement for Audio/modem riser (AMR) slots, and a competitor and alternative to Communications and Networking Riser (CNR) slots.
The ACR specification provides a lower cost method to connect certain expansion cards to a computer, with an emphasis on audio and communications devices.
ACR and other riser cards lower hardware costs by offloading much of the computing tasks of the peripheral to the CPU.
ACR uses a 120 pin PCI connector which is reversed and offset, retaining backward compatibility with 46 pin AMR cards while including support for newer technologies.
It is also more cost-effective and simple for the manufacturer, since the connectors are identical to the PCI connectors already purchased in quantity.
During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Morotai was generally within the sphere of influence of the powerful sultanate on the island of Ternate.
The Muslim states on Ternate and Halmahera resented the outpost for its proselytising activities, and managed to drive the mission from the island in 1571, as a part of a larger Portuguese retreat in the region.
In the seventeenth century, Ternate further exerted its power over Morotai by repeatedly forcing major parts of the population to move off the island.
Early in the century most of the population was moved to Dodinga, a small town in a strategic spot on Halmahera's west coast.
Later, in 1627 and 1628, Sultan Hamzah of Ternate had much of the Christian population of the island moved to Malayu, on Ternate, where they could be more easily controlled.
Morotai's southern plain was taken by American forces in September 1944 during the Battle of Morotai, and used as a staging point for the Allied invasion of the Philippines in early 1945, and of Borneo in May and June of that year.
Japanese soldier Teruo Nakamura was discovered in the Morotai jungle in 1974, as one of the World War II Japanese soldiers who held out subsequent to the Japanese military's surrender.
Almost all of Morotai's numerous villages are coastal settlements; a paved road linking those on the east coast starts from Daruba and will eventually reach Berebere, the principal town on Morotai's east coast, from Daruba.
The Bureau des Longitudes () is a French scientific institution, founded by decree of 25 June 1795 and charged with the improvement of nautical navigation, standardisation of time-keeping, geodesy and astronomical observation.
The Bureau was founded by the National Convention after it heard a report drawn up jointly by the Committee of Navy, the Committee of Finances and the Committee of State education.
Henri Grégoire had brought to the attention of the National Convention France's failing maritime power and the naval mastery of England, proposing that improvements in navigation would lay the foundations for a renaissance in naval strength.
The Bureau was charged with taking control of the seas away from the English and improving accuracy when tracking the longitudes of ships through astronomical observations and reliable clocks.
This decree granted independence to the Paris Observatory, separating it from the Bureau, and focused the efforts of the Bureau on time and astronomy.
It later worked to synchronize time across the French colonial empire by determining the length of time for a signal to make a round trip to and from a French colony.
The French Bureau of Longitude established a commission in the year 1897 to extend the metric system to the measurement of time.
They planned to abolish the antiquated division of the day into hours, minutes, and seconds, and replace it by a division into tenths, thousandths, and hundred-thousandths of a day.
This was a revival of a dream that was in the minds of the creators of the metric system at the time of the French Revolution a hundred years earlier.
Some members of the Bureau of Longitude commission introduced a compromise proposal, retaining the old-fashioned hour as the basic unit of time and dividing it into hundredths and ten-thousandths.
The rest of the world outside France gave no support to the commission's proposals, and the French government was not prepared to go it alone.
I Never Promised You a Rose Garden (1964) is a semi-autobiographical novel by Joanne Greenberg, written under the pen name of Hannah Green.
The character of Dr. Fried is based closely on Greenberg's real doctor Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, and the hospital on Chestnut Lodge in Rockville, Maryland.
However, some of Greenberg's doctors felt that this was not a true delusion but rather something Greenberg had made up on the spot to impress her psychiatrist.
One doctor went so far as to state that Irian was not an actual language, but was a form of bastardized Armenian.
Fromm-Reichmann wrote glowing reports focusing on Greenberg's genius and creativity, which she saw as signs of Greenberg's innate health, indicating that she had every chance of recovering from her mental illness.
At that time though, undifferentiated schizophrenia was often a vague diagnosis given to a patient or to medical records department for essentially non-medical reasons, which could have covered any number of mental illnesses from anxiety to depression.
Two psychiatrists who examined the description of Blau in the book say that she was not schizophrenic, but rather suffered from extreme depression and somatization disorder.
The tarte Tatin (), named after the hotel serving it as its signature dish, is a pastry in which the fruit (usually apples) is caramelised in butter and sugar before the tart is baked.
The tarte Tatin was created accidentally at the Hôtel Tatin in Lamotte-Beuvron, Loir-et-Cher, about 100 miles (160 km) south of Paris, in the 1880s.
There are conflicting stories concerning the tart's origin, but the most common is that Stéphanie Tatin, who did most of the cooking, was overworked one day.
Smelling the burning, she tried to rescue the dish by putting the pastry base on top of the pan of apples, quickly finishing the cooking by putting the whole pan in the oven.
In an alternative version of the tart's origin, Stéphanie baked a caramelized apple tart upside-down by mistake, regardless she served her guests the unusual dish.
That recognition was bestowed upon them by Curnonsky, famous French author and epicure, as well as the Parisian restaurant Maxim's after the sisters' deaths.
In reality, Vaudable was born in 1902; the sisters retired in 1906 and died in 1911 and 1917; whereas Maxim's was purchased by the Vaudable family in 1932.
When choosing apples for a tarte Tatin, it is important to pick some that will hold their shape while cooking, and not melt into apple sauce.
Variations of this recipe can also be made as turnovers, where the pastry is not only cooked upside-down, but also inverted.
Most members of this party later merged with several other centrist parties to form the Fiji Democratic Party (now part of the National Alliance Party).
A former Professor of Education at the University of the South Pacific (USP), he later served as a senior research fellow at the Centre for Pacific Studies at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, from 2001 to the end of 2005.
In the general election scheduled for 6–13 May 2006, Baba attempted a political comeback, this time on the ticket of the ruling Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua (SDL), a political switch that generated a considerable degree of public discussion.
Although his bid was unsuccessful, he was subsequently appointed to the Senate as one of nine nominees of the Fijian government.
Baba was a founding member of the Fiji Labour Party in the mid-1980s and was elected in 1987 to the House of Representatives as a candidate of the Labour-National Federation Party Coalition, which brought Timoci Bavadra to power.
Baba returned to his academic career, taking a post as a lecturer at the University of Suva, where he remained until 1999, when he was again elected to Parliament and became Foreign Minister and one of two Deputy Prime Ministers in the government of Mahendra Chaudhry.
During the coup of 2000 in which most members of the government were kidnapped by George Speight, Baba's courage as one of the hostages earned him considerable public respect.
Baba launched the NLUP in June 2001 after resigning from the Fiji Labour Party (FLP) of former Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry, who had been deposed in the Fiji coup of 2000.
Baba's departure was thought to be one of the reasons why the Labour Party lost the elections held to restore democracy in September 2001; its share of the vote among ethnic Fijians dropped to around two percent.
During the campaign, he called on the electorate not to support his former party, warning that a return to a government led by Chaudhry could result in another coup.
It was no longer the party he had joined under the leadership of Timoci Bavadra in the 1980s, he said on 18 September 2005.
Bavadra's vision had been of a multiracial Fiji, but the present leadership of the party could not see past ethnic boundaries.
He expressed disappointment at Chaudhry's failure as Leader of the Opposition to work with Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase on matters of national importance, saying that when the party negotiated with the government at all, it appeared more like a trade union than a political party.
On 22 December 2005, Baba said that he would pursue academic and consultancy work after completing his four-year contract at the University of Auckland, which expired at the end of 2005.
Questioned again by the Fiji Village news service on 16 February, after his return to Fiji, he refused to be drawn on whether he would contest the 2006 election or not, but made it clear that he was no longer affiliated with the FLP.
The Fiji Times reported on 11 March 2006 that the ruling SDL had approached Baba with an invitation to contest the parliamentary election scheduled for 6–13 May under the SDL banner.
Fiji Village quoted Baba as saying that his decision to join the SDL was motivated by what he called the lack of leadership in the FLP.
He praised its success in reviving the economy; he conceded that some of its legislation was controversial, but saw it as an attempt to move the country forward.
He still considered himself a liberal and a socialist, he said, but insisted that had to be seen in the multiracial context of Fiji.
Baba helped to found the Social Democratic Liberal Party (SDLP) as the successor party to the SDL, which the Military-backed interim government had dissolved.
He briefly led the party in 2014, but made way for Ro Teimumu Kepa, a high chief and former Cabinet Minister.
Previously, Baba had a son, Viliame, and a daughter, Raijeli, with his first wife, Miriama Raitasia Cagilaba, a native of Natewa in Cakaudrove Province.
Miriama is the younger sister of Lady Bale Ganilau, the wife of former Governor-General and first President, Ratu Sir Penaia Ganilau.
Centurion (previously known as Verwoerdburg and before that Lyttelton) is an area with 236,580 inhabitants in Gauteng Province of South Africa, located between Pretoria and Midrand (Johannesburg).
Formerly an independent municipality, with its own town council, it has formed part of the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality since 2000.
The Waterkloof Air Force Base, as well as the Swartkop Air Force Base (which includes the South African Air Force Museum) are located in Centurion.
Fossils discovered at the Sterkfontein Caves show that hominids lived in the vicinity of Centurion between 2 and 3 million years ago.
From 1825 to 1826 the Matabele peoples defeated the Bakwena tribe and settled along the banks of the Magalies River under the leadership of Mzilikazi.
Daniel Jacobus Erasmus settled on the farm Zwartkop, Daniel Elardus Erasmus on the farm Doornkloof and Rasmus Elardus Erasmus developed the farm Brakfontein.
Several of the suburbs like Erasmia, Elardus Park, Zwartkop and Doornkloof were named after these 19th-century owners of the land and their properties.
In 1849 Rev Andrew Murray visited the farm Doornkloof and christened 129 babies, heard the profession of faith of 29 new members of the Reformed Church and the next day, 29 December 1849, celebrated communion.
In 1889 Alois Hugo Nelmapius bought the northern and north-eastern portions of the farm Doornkloof and named it after his daughter Irene (who died in 1961).
After the cornered British garrison tried to escape to Natal to join General George Pomeroy Colley, the Boers entrenched themselves behind a stone wall surrounding the animal stockade, and wounded the colonel in the backside, who was standing upright in his stirrups.
During the Second Boer War the Irene Concentration Camp was established in 1901 on the farm Doornkloof, as part of the British scorched earth policy, where Boer women and children were housed under extremely poor conditions.
Between February 1901 and the end of the war in 1902, 1,249 lost their lives here, about 1,000 of them children.
The Irene Camp Cemetery is well preserved and contains 576 of the original slate tombstones that were carved by hand in the camp.
In 2000, the Centurion local government became part of the newly created City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality, which also includes Pretoria, and the town ceased to have its own Town Council.
Lyttelton was renamed Verwoerdburg in 1967, after Dr. Hendrik Verwoerd, the former prime minister of South Africa who was assassinated the previous year.
The surrounding areas, as they grew, came under the same name and Lyttelton became known as one of the suburbs of Verwoerdburg.
Following the end of apartheid, the Indian township of Laudium and surrounding suburbs including Erasmia and Claudius, which were formerly a part of Pretoria, were made part of Centurion.
daytime temperature around 20 °C dropping to an average minimum of 5 °C), and warm to hot summers (October - April) tempered by late-afternoon showers often accompanied by spectacular thunder and lightning.
Other military support services, like the former Military Medical Institute (now the Institute for Aviation Medicine), and the former Base Workshops and Vehicle Reserve Park (4VRP) were based in Centurion.
Technical Base Complex Centurion is home to the 2 Parachute Battalion (a reserve force unit), 44 Parachute Engineers, 1 Military Printing Regiment, 4 Survey and Map Regiment, and the Army Engineer Formation.
It has hosted many cricket tournaments like 2003 Cricket World Cup, 2005 Women's Cricket World Cup, 2007 ICC World Twenty20, 2009 IPL and 2009 ICC Champions Trophy.
Having experienced growth since 1994, like the rest of urban South Africa, many businesses have relocated there, and property development is boosting the ever-expanding city limits.
This development has meant there is now little break between the outskirts of Pretoria to the north, and Midrand and Johannesburg to the south.
The Gauteng Provincial Government envisages that, according to current growth trends, much of the Gauteng province will be a megalopolis by 2015.
The CAV was formally established in 2006 in order to create an aerospace supplier park where anchor firms are at the centre of the aerospace cluster and are supported by small and medium-sized producers.
The supplier park is modelled on the local automotive industry and mirrors similar international parks, such as Silicon Valley, in California, and Toulouse, in France.
The CAV is located in Pierre van Ryneveld Park, Tshwane, on state-owned land, adjacent to Aerosud Holdings, and along the eastern boundary of the Waterkloof Air Force Base.
Aerosud was selected by the South African Department of Trade and Industry to be the industry driver and catalyst for this development.
The CAV development was made possible with the financial support of the European Union and the South African government, through the Sector-Wide Support Enterprise, Employment and Equity Programme (SWEEEP).
Today Centurion features modern shopping malls (Centurion Mall, Mall@Reds, Forest Hill City Mall), several entertainment spots, a theatre, golf courses and a driving range.
The Unitas hospital is the largest private hospital on the African continent (including a helipad) and is part of the Netcare group.
Technology companies like Aerosud, Accenture, Denel Dynamics, Siemens, SAAB Grintek Technologies, Telkom and others such as GMC Aircon are located in Centurion.
Established during 1983/1984, the Centurion Mall was constructed around the Centurion Lake (on the Hennops River) and was the only shopping centre with the standard big-name retailers of that time in Centurion until the 21st century.
29,760 m of retail space was added to the mall bringing the mall's total size to 105,000 m, making it the second largest shopping centre in the Tshwane metropolitan area.
The mall was also famous for its man-made colour water fountain amenity, which was located in the centre of the lake, on the north side of the mall (known as the 'bay' area).
This very same water feature has been used as a 'logo' for the former City of Centurion, seen at many of the entrances of the previous municipality.
From Seoul Station the KTX lines radiate with stops at Seoul Station, Yongsan Station towards Busan and Gwangju, and from Gangnam District's Suseo Station with intermediate stations in New Dongtan City and Seoul Subway Line 1's Jije Station in Pyeongtaek.
The domestically developed HSR-350x, which achieved in tests, resulted in a second type of high-speed trains now operated by Korail, the KTX Sancheon.
The next generation KTX train, HEMU-430X, achieved 421.4 km/h in 2013, making South Korea the world's fourth country after Japan, France and China to develop a high-speed train running on conventional rail above 420 km/h.
In 1982, it represented 65.8% of South Korea's population, a number that grew to 73.3% by 1995, along with 70% of freight traffic and 66% of passenger traffic.
With both the Gyeongbu Expressway and Korail's Gyeongbu Line congested as of the late 1970s, the government saw the pressing need for another form of transportation.
The first proposals for a second Seoul-Busan railway line originated from a study prepared between 1972 and 1974 by experts from France's SNCF and Japan Railway Technical Service on a request from the IBRD.
A more detailed 1978-1981 study by KAIST, focusing on the needs of freight transport, also came to the conclusion that separating long-distance passenger traffic on a high-speed passenger railway would be advisable, and it was adopted in the following Korean Five Year Plan.
During the following years, several feasibility studies were prepared for a high-speed line with a Seoul–Busan travel time of 1 hour 30 minutes, which gave positive results.
In 1989, following the go-ahead for the project, the institutions to manage its preparation were established: the Gyeongbu High Speed Electric Railway & New International Airport Committee, and the High Speed Electric Railway Planning Department (later renamed HSR Project Planning Board).
In 1990, the planned Seoul–Busan travel time was 1 hour 51 minutes, the project was to be completed by August 1998, and costs were estimated at 5.85 trillion South Korean won in 1988 prices, 4.6 trillion of which were to be spent on infrastructure, the remainder on rolling stock.
As planning progressed, the Korea High Speed Rail Construction Authority (KHSRCA) was established in March 1992 as a separate body with its own budget responsible for the project.
In the 1993 reappraisal of the project, the completion date was pushed back to May 2002, and cost estimates grew to 10.74 trillion won.
82% of the cost increase was due to a 90% increase in unit costs in the construction sector, mostly labour costs but also material costs, and the remainder due to alignment changes.
KHSRCA started construction of the Seoul–Busan Gyeongbu high-speed railway (Gyeongbu HSR) on June 30, 1992, on the long section from Cheonan to Daejeon, which was intended for use as test track.
Construction started before the choice of the main technology supplier, thus alignment design was set out to be compatible with all choices.
However, plans were changed repeatedly, in particular those for city sections, following disputes with local governments, while construction work suffered from early quality problems.
Three competitors bid for the supply of the core system, which included the rolling stock, catenary and signalling: consortia led by GEC-Alsthom, today Alstom, one of the builders of France's TGV trains; Siemens, one of the builders of Germany's ICE trains; and Mitsubishi, one of the builders of Japan's Shinkansen trains.
In a first phase, two-thirds of the high-speed line between the southwestern suburbs of Seoul and Daegu would be finished by 2004, with trains travelling along the parallel conventional line along the rest of the Seoul–Busan route.
The upgrade and electrification of these sections of the Gyeongbu Line was added to the project, and also the upgrade and electrification of the Honam Line from Daejeon to Mokpo, providing a second route for KTX services.
The budget for the first phase was set at 12,737.7 billion won, that for the entire project at 18,435.8 billion won in 1998 prices.
While the share of government contributions remained unchanged, the share of foreign loans, domestic bond sales and private capital changed to 24%, 29% and 2%.
The infrastructure and rolling stock were created in the framework of a technology transfer agreement, which paired up Korean companies with core system supplier Alstom and its European subcontractors for different subsystems.
Well ahead of the opening of the Gyeongbu HSR for regular service, in December 1999, of the test section, later extended to , was finished to enable trials with trains.
After further design changes, the high-speed tracks were finished over a length of , with of interconnections to the conventional Gyeongbu Line, including at a short interruption at Daejeon.
Conventional line electrification was finished over the across Daegu and on to Busan, the across Daejeon, and the from Daejeon to Mokpo and Gwangju.
After 12 years of construction and with a final cost of 12,737.7 billion won, the initial KTX system with the first phase of the Gyeongbu HSR went into service on April 1, 2004.
The Daegu–Busan section of the Gyeongbu HSR became a separate project with the July 1998 project revision, with a budget of 5,698.1 billion won, with funding from the government and private sources by the same ratios as for phase 1.
In August 2006, the project was modified to again include the Daejeon and Daegu urban area passages, as well as additional stations along the phase 1 section.
The line, which follows a long curve to the northeast of the existing Gyeongbu Line, includes 54 viaducts with a total length of and 38 tunnels with a total length of .
The two largest structures are the Geomjeung Tunnel, under Mount Geumjeong at the Busan end of the line; and the Wonhyo Tunnel, under Mount Cheonseong south-west of Ulsan, which will be the longest and second longest tunnels in Korea once the line is opened.
A long dispute concerning the environmental impact assessment of the Wonhyo Tunnel, which passes under a wetland area, caused delays for the entire project.
The dispute gained nationwide and international attention due to the repeated hunger strikes of a Buddhist nun, led to a suspension of works in 2005, and only ended with a supreme court ruling in June 2006.
By that time, 4,905.7 billion won was spent out of a second phase budget, or 17,643.4 billion won out of the total.
As of October 2010, the total cost of the second phase was estimated at 7,945.4 billion won, that for the entire project at 20,728.2 billion won.
The last element of the original project that was shelved in 1998, separate underground tracks across the Seoul metropolitan area, was re-launched in June 2008, when an initial plan with a long alignment and two new stations was announced.
The electrification and the completion of the re-alignment and double-tracking of the Jeolla Line, which branches from the Honam Line at Iksan and continues to Suncheon and Yeosu, began in December 2003, with the aim to introduce KTX services in time for the Expo 2012 in Yeosu.
The section of the perpendicular Gyeongjeon Line from Samnangjin, the junction with the Gyeongbu Line near Busan, to Suncheon is upgraded in a similar way, with track doubling, alignment modifications and electrification for .
The Ulsan–Gyeongju–Pohang section of the Donghae Nambu Line is foreseen for an upgrade in a completely new alignment that circumvents downtown Gyeongju and connects to the Gyeongbu High Speed Railway at Singyeongju Station, allowing for direct KTX access to the two cities.
On September 1, 2010, the South Korean government announced a strategic plan to reduce travel times from Seoul to 95% of the country to under 2 hours by 2020.
The main new element of the plan is to aim for top speeds of in upgrades of much of the mainline network with view to the introduction of KTX services.
The conventional lines under the scope of the plan include the above, already on-going projects, and their extensions along the rest of the southern and eastern coasts of South Korea, lines along the western coast, lines north of Seoul, and the second, more easterly line between Seoul and Busan with some connecting lines.
Until 2006, the first plans for a second, separate high-speed line from Seoul to Mokpo were developed into the project of a line branching from the Gyeongbu HSR and constructed in two stages, the Honam High Speed Railway (Honam HSR).
The budget for the first stage, from the new Osong Station on the Gyongbu HSR to Gwangju·Songjeong Station, was set at 8,569.5 billion won.
The Osong-Iksan section of the first phase is also intended for use as high-speed test track for rolling stock development, to be fitted with special catenary and instrumented track.
As of September 2010, progress was 9.6% of the project budget then estimated at 10,490.1 billion won for the first phase, which was due for completion in 2014, while the estimate for the entire line stood at 12,101.7 billion won.
For the longer term, new high-speed lines from Seoul to Sokcho on the eastern coast, and a direct branch from the Gyeongbu HSR south to Jinju and further to the coast are under consideration.
In conjunction with the award of the 2018 Winter Olympics to PyeongChang in July 2011, KTX service via the eastern coast line was anticipated; the expected travel time there from Seoul is 50 minutes.
In January 2009, the Korea Transport Institute also proposed a line from Mokpo to Jeju Island, putting Jeju 2 hours 26 minutes from Seoul.
The line would include a bridge from Haenam to Bogil Island and a undersea tunnel from Bogil Island to Jeju Island (with a drilling station on Chuja Island), for an estimated cost of US$10 billion.
As the proposal was popular with lawmakers from South Jeolla province, the government is conducting a feasibility study, but the governor of Jeju expressed skepticism.
The initial KTX-I trainsets, also known as simply KTX or as TGV-K, are based on the TGV Réseau, but with several differences.
The 20-car electric multiple units consist of two traction heads, that is powered end cars without passenger compartment, and eighteen articulated passenger cars, of which the two extreme ones have one motorised bogie each.
A KTX-I was built to carry up to 935 passengers at a regular top speed of , later increased to .
The technology transfer agreement for the KTX-I did not provide for a complete control of manufacturing processes and some parts had to be imported.
To increase the domestic added value, in 1996, an alliance of South Korean government research agencies, universities and private companies started a project named G7 to develop domestic high-speed rail technology.
The main element of the G7 project was the 7-car experimental high-speed train HSR-350x, originally intended as the prototype of a train with 20-car and 11-car versions for commercial service.
The train was developed on the basis of the transferred TGV technology, but more advanced technology was used for the new motors, power electronics and additional brake systems, while the passenger cars were made of aluminum to save weight, and the nose was a new design with reduced aerodynamic drag.
Test runs were conducted between 2002 and 2008, in the course of which HSR-350x achieved the South Korean rail speed record of on December 16, 2004.
For less frequented relations and for operational flexibility, a 2001 study proposed a train created by scaling down the planned commercial version of the HSR-350x, by shortening the train, removing powered bogies from intermediate cars, and lowering top speed.
The trainsets, of which two can be coupled together, consist of two traction heads and eight articulated passenger cars, and seat 363 passengers in two classes, with enhanced comfort relative to the KTX-I.
The KTX-II was officially renamed as KTX-Sancheon (Hangul: KTX-산천) after the Korean name of the indigenous fish cherry salmon before the first units started commercial service on March 2, 2010.
However within weeks of its initial launch, mechanical and design flaws began to appear, in some cases causing trains to stop running and forcing passengers to leave the train and walk back to the station, and in one particular case derailing from the tracks on February 11, 2011.
Although the trains were designed to be a domestically-built replacement for the French built Alstrom trains, due to over 30 malfunctions since March 2, 2010, Korail asked manufacturer Hyundai-Rotem to recall all 19 of the trains in operation after finding cracks in two anchor bands in May 2011.
In addition to the 24 initial KTX-Sancheon trains, which form the KTX-Sancheon Class 11, new batches have been ordered and delivered since, to provide service on the new Honam, Suseo and Gyeonggang lines.
In 2007, an alliance of government research institutes, universities and private companies launched the project to build a second experimental high-speed train, named HEMU-400X (later renamed to HEMU-430X).
With a budget of 97.4 billion won and a timetable lasting 6 years, the aim was to develop an experimental train capable of reaching in tests, as a basis for commercial trains operating at .
Detailed plans were presented in October 2010, when the train was expected to be completed in 2011 and to start line tests in 2012.
It was later renamed HEMU-430X, which achieved 421.4 km/h on the last day of March 2013, making South Korea the world's fourth country after Japan, France and China to develop a high-speed train running on conventional rail above 420 km/h.
In default configuration, the train is to seat 378 passengers in 8 cars, of which only the two driving trailers will be unpowered.
The name of train displays its original targeted top speed , although later it is increased to , with the designed maximum .
19 trainsets (in which 6 sets are dedicated to Gyeongjeon Line) are newly ordered from KORAIL to Hyundai Rotem, and will be tested in 2019-2020.
Following a phase of test operation, regular KTX service started on April 1, 2004, with a maximum speed of achieved along the finished sections of the Gyeongbu HSR.
In response to frequent passenger complaints regarding speeds on the video display staying just below the advertised 300 mark, operating top speed was raised to on November 26, 2007.
In 2004, the new service cut the route length from , and the fastest trains, serving four stations only, cut the minimum Seoul–Busan travel time from the Saemaul's 4 hours 10 minutes to 2 hours 40 minutes.
With the extension of the Gyeongbu HSR, from November 1, 2010, the minimum Seoul–Busan travel time reduced to 2 hours 18 minutes, over a travel distance of .
Once the sections across Daejeon and Daegu are completed, cutting the Seoul–Busan travel distance to , plans foresee a further improvement of the four-stop travel time to 2 hours and 10 minutes.
From June 2007 until October 2010, some trains left the Gyeongbu HSR between Daejeon and Dongdaegu to serve Gimcheon and Gumi before the opening of an extra station for the two cities on the high-speed line.
From November 1, 2010, when most Gyeongbu KTX services began to use the new Daegu–Busan high-speed section, some trains remained on the Gyeongbu Line on that section, and additional trains began to use the Gyeongbu Line on the Seoul–Daejeon section to serve Suwon.
KTX trains using the Gyeongbu HSR only from Seoul to Daejeon and continuing all along the Honam Line are operated as the Honam KTX service.
In 2004, the new service with a route length of between Yongsan in Seoul and Mokpo cut minimum travel time from 4 hours 42 minutes to 2 hours 58 minutes.
On December 15, 2010, the new Gyeongjeon KTX service started with a minimum travel time of 2 hours 54 minutes over the long route between Seoul and Masan.
From 2014, with the completion of the first phase of the Honam HSR, the travel time is reduce further to 2 hours 25 minutes.
The fare system implemented at the start of service in April 2004 deviated from prices proportional with distance, to favour long-distance trips.
From November 1, 2006, due to rising energy prices, Korail applied an 8-10% fare hike for various train services, including 9.5% for KTX.
From July 1, 2007, KTX fares were hiked another 6.5%, while those for the slower Saemaeul and Mugunghwa services on the parallel conventional route were raised by 3.5 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively.
After the November 1, 2010, start of service on the Daegu–Busan section of the Gyeongbu HSR, the fare for KTX trains using the new section was set about 8% higher than for the old route via Miryang, while that for the new services via Suwon was set lower.
For frequent travellers, Korail's standard discount cards, which are categorised according to age group, apply with the double of the standard discount rates; while discount cards for business and government agency workers apply with the normal rate; both types of discounts are up to 30%.
In addition to Korail's small general discounts for tickets purchased in a vending machine, via cell phone or the internet, discounts of 5–20% apply to a limited number of seats on KTX trains when purchased in advance.
For passengers using the Korea-Japan Joint Rail Pass, a joint offer of Korail, Japanese railways and ferry services, the discount on KTX trains is 30%.
The first study in 1991 forecast around 200,000 passengers a day in the first year of operation, growing to 330,000 passengers a day twelve years later.
In forecasts prepared after the decision to split the project into two phases, the expected first year ridership of Gyeongbu KTX services was reduced by about 40%.
With the estimate for the Honam KTX services added to the plan, opening year forecasts ranged between 150,000 and 175,000 passengers a day.
Actual initial ridership after the opening of the first phase in 2004 was well short of initial expectations at around half of the final forecast.
In October 2010, before the opening of the second phase, Korail expected ridership to rise from the then current 106,000 to 135,000 passengers a day.
In the first 100 days, daily passenger numbers averaged 70,250, generating an operational revenue of about 2.11 billion won per day, 54% of what was expected.
However, ridership increased by over a third on the Gyeongbu KTX and over a half on the Honam KTX in two years.
Daily operating profit rose to 2.8 billion won by December 2005, when financial break-even was forecast at a ridership level of around 100,000 passengers a day, which was expected by the end of 2006.
The 100 millionth rider was carried after 1116 days of operation on April 22, 2007, when cumulative income stood at 2.78 trillion won.
The next year, with revenues equal to US$898 million and costs equal to US$654 million, KTX was Korail's most profitable branch.
As of April 2010, the single-day ridership record stood at 178,584 passengers, achieved on January 26, 2009, the Korean New Year.
The introduction of high-speed services had the strongest effect on long-distance relations with a significant portion of the journey on the high-speed line, like Seoul–Busan: KTX took both the majority of the market and the bulk of rail passengers in the first year already, increasing the total share of rail from around two-fifths to a market dominating two-thirds by 2008.
On long-distance relations with significant distances along conventional lines and resulting more modest travel time gains, that is along the Honam Line, the KTX and overall rail market share gain decreases with distance.
On medium-distance relations like Seoul–Daejeon, KTX gained market share mostly at the expense of normal rail express services and air traffic, and helped to increase the total share of rail.
On short distance intercity relations line Seoul–Cheonan, due to the modest gains in time and the location of KTX stops outside city cores, KTX gains were at the expense of conventional rail, while intercity rail's modal share was little changed.
With lower ticket prices, by 2008, KTX has swallowed up around half of the airlines' previous demand between Seoul and Busan (falling from 5.3 million passengers in 2003 to 2.4 million).
Though some low-cost carriers failed and withdrew from the route, others still planned to enter competition even at the end of 2008.
Budget airlines achieved a 5.6% growth in August 2009 over the same month a year earlier while KTX ridership decreased by 1.3%, a trend change credited to the opening of Seoul Subway Line 9, which improved Gimpo International Airport's connection to southern Seoul.
In the first two months after the launch of the second phase of the Gyeongbu HSR, passenger numbers on flights between Gimpo and Ulsan Airports dropped 35.4% compared to the same period a year earlier, those between Gimpo and Pohang Airports 13.2%.
Between Gimpo Airport and Busan's Gimhae International Airport, airline passenger numbers remained stable (+0.2%), as a consequence of a budget airline competing with large discounts and aggressive marketing.
In the first month of Gyeongjeon KTX service, express bus services between Seoul and Masan or Changwon experienced 30–40% drops in ridership.
Lawmakers criticised the safety of Korail's tunnels after the Ministry of Construction and Transportation submitted data to the National Assembly on June 13, 2005.
The ministry added fire prevention standards to high-speed line design standards only in November 2003, thus they weren't applied to the by then finished tunnels of the first phase of KTX.
Consequently, few tunnels had emergency exits, and in high-speed railway tunnels, the average walking distance in case of an emergency was , with a maximum of , against a norm of emergency exits every in other countries.
On October 5, 2008, it was revealed by lawmakers that inside Hwanghak Tunnel, from December 2004, inspectors have monitored the progression of several cracks and minor track displacements, which continued after maintenance work in March–April 2007 and again in March 2008.
The operator claimed that a February 2007 on-site inspection found the problems not safety-relevant, but pledged further maintenance, and an investigation into the causes was launched.
Lawmakers from the Grand National Party published an investigation in October 2006 and expressed concern about the practice to use parts from other trains for spare parts, but Korail stated that that is standard practice in case of urgency with no safety effect, and the supply of spare parts is secured.
On June 13, 2007, near Cheongdo on the upgraded Daegu–Busan section, a damper acting between two cars of a KTX train got free at one end due to a loose screw and hit the trackbed, throwing up ballast that hit cars and caused bruises to two people on the parallel road, until the train was stopped when passengers noticed smoke.
On November 3, 2007, an arriving KTX-I train collided with a parked KTX-I train inside Busan Station, resulting in material damage of 10 billion won and light injuries to two persons.
The accident happened because the driver had fallen asleep and disabled the train protection system, and led to the trial and conviction of the driver.
The railway union criticised single driver operation in conjunction with the two and a half hours rest time the driver had between shifts.
On February 11, 2011, a KTX-Sancheon train bound for Seoul from Busan derailed on a switch in a tunnel before Gwangmyeong Station, when travelling at around .
No casualties were reported, only one passenger suffered slight injury, but KTX traffic was blocked for 29 hours while repairs were completed.
Investigators found that the derailment was caused by a switch malfunction triggered by a loose nut from track, and suspected that a repairman failed to tighten it during maintenance the previous night.
The switch's detectors signalled a problem earlier, however, a second maintenance crew failed to find the loose nut and didn't properly communicate the fact to the control center, which then allowed the train on the track.
On July 15, 2011, 150 passengers were evacuated from a train when smoke started coming out of the train when it arrived at Miryang Station at 11:30 AM.
On July 17, 2011 at around 11 AM, a train stopped abruptly and stranded some 400 passengers in the Hwanghak Tunnel for over an hour.
On December 7, 2018, a KTX train carrying 198 passengers derailed about five minutes after leaving Gangneung for Seoul injuring 15 passengers.
Passenger surveys in the first months found that the limited capacity of bus connections and the lack of subway connections for intermediate stations, especially the newly built stations Gwangmyeong and Cheonan-Asan, was the problem mentioned most often.
A better connection to Cheonan-Asan Station was provided by an extension of Seoul Subway Line 1 along the Janghang Line, opened on December 14, 2008.
Gwangmyeong Station was linked to the same subway line by a shuttle service on December 15, 2006, but it made little impact due to the longtime differences between KTX and subway train schedules.
A reduction by 3–4 dB was achieved by retrofitting all trains with longer mud flaps at car ends until May 2006 to smooth the airflow at the articulated car joints.
The isolation of KTX-I trains against pressure variations during tunnel passages was insufficient for some passengers, leading to efforts to reinforce pressurization in newer generations of trains.
Swivel seats, which can be turned into the direction of travel, installed only on First Class in KTX-I trains, were made standard on both classes on newer generations of trains.
Woleai, also known as Oleai, is a coral atoll of twenty-two islands in the eastern Caroline Islands in the Pacific Ocean, and forms a legislative district in the Yap State in the Federated States of Micronesia and is located approximately west-northwest of Ifalik and northeast of Eauripik.
The islands constitute a double atoll forming the number eight, with a total length of and up to wide; however, most of reef on the southern rim is submerged or poorly developed.
Woleai is culturally unique because a script was discovered to be in use among some speakers of the Woleaian language in 1913.
The atoll came under the control of the Empire of Japan after World War I, and was subsequently administered under the South Pacific Mandate.
In 1944, as the Allied forces closed in on the Mariana Islands, Woleai was heavily fortified by a contingent of 6,426 troops from the Imperial Japanese Army’s IJA 50th Independent Mixed Brigade and Imperial Japanese Navy’s 44th Base Guard Unit and 216th Base Construction Unit.
The island and its military facilities were bombed on numerous occasions through the end of 1944 until the middle of 1945, driving its defenders underground, and isolating them from supplies or reinforcements.
It was administered as part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands from 1947, and became part of the Federated States of Micronesia beginning 1979.
Its simple construction and forgiving design make it very popular among hobbyists and some traction enthusiasts, especially ski- and sledge-borne expeditions across both Arctic and Antarctic lands, but its drawbacks make it unsuitable for high efficiency and many water-borne sports.
The most popular commercial NASA style kites were made by Born Kite in Germany and for 2015 single skin powerkites has been announced by multiple vendors like Peter Lynn Kites Uniq, Urban Kites Cruiser and Wolkenstürmer Mono.
Advantages of single skin kites is that they have very low pack volume, larger pull per area, they work well in the lower end of the wind scale, don't collect as much snow and dirt, and no cells that can be blown on impact.
It can be thought of as the culinary equivalent of an artist finding their own style, or an author finding their own voice.
In a weaker sense, a signature dish may become associated with an individual restaurant, particularly if the chef who created it is no longer with the establishment.
In many cases, restaurants will base their menu development on tastes and styles which are unique to the restaurant's geographical location.
Local produce, restaurant décor, and even the type of building you choose can all contribute to a larger yield by taking on local sensibilities.
My parents entertained Lyndon Johnson, J. Edgar Hoover, and there were lots of Hollywood people because of San Simeon – Clark Gable, Joan Crawford, Dorothy Kilgallen...
I have a box of letters, written to my parents in the late 1940s and 1950s from the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
Her socialite mother frequently worried about Brigid's weight and constantly attempted to get her to lose it through any means, from giving her cash for every pound she lost at age 11 to having the family doctor prescribe amphetamines and dexedrine.
Then she handed Brigid her wedding present – a hundred dollar bill – and told her to go to Bergdorf's and buy herself some new underwear with it.
After several years as a reluctant debutante and a failed marriage, Brigid Berlin met Andy Warhol in 1964 and quickly became a central member of his entourage.
After moving to Hotel Chelsea, she took on the nickname Brigid Polk because of her habit of giving out 'pokes', injections of Vitamin B and amphetamines.
Berlin was complicit in one of Warhol's more infamous pranks when, in 1969, Warhol announced that all of his paintings were the work of Berlin.
They belonged to a woman who sat behind the front desk every day from 9:00 to 5:00, but who never seemed to answer the phone.
Brigid Berlin is also famous for her prolific art, which has been argued by many to have been both influential to Andy Warhol's artwork and simultaneously overshadowed by Warhol's celebrity and own artwork.
The Tit Prints are arguably Berlin's most infamous work and were exhibited by Jane Stubbs at a gallery on Madison Avenue in 1996.
Both Berlin and Warhol used the medium of Polaroid photography obsessively, and are said to have been very competitive in the Polaroid film department, whether over the best equipment or the best film.
Iconography, as a branch of art history, studies the identification, description, and the interpretation of the content of images: the subjects depicted, the particular compositions and details used to do so, and other elements that are distinct from artistic style.
The term is also used in many academic fields other than art history, for example semiotics and media studies, and in general usage, for the content of images, the typical depiction in images of a subject, and related senses.
When referring to movies, genres are immediately recognizable through their iconography, motifs that become associated with a specific genre through repetition.
Lessing's study (1796) of the classical figure Amor with an inverted torch was an early attempt to use a study of a type of image to explain the culture it originated in, rather than the other way round.
Iconography as an academic art historical discipline developed in the nineteenth-century in the works of scholars such as Adolphe Napoleon Didron (1806–1867), Anton Heinrich Springer (1825–1891), and Émile Mâle (1862–1954) all specialists in Christian religious art, which was the main focus of study in this period, in which French scholars were especially prominent.
In the early-twentieth century Germany, Aby Warburg (1866–1929) and his followers Fritz Saxl (1890–1948) and Erwin Panofsky (1892–1968) elaborated the practice of identification and classification of motifs in images to using iconography as a means to understanding meaning.
In the United States, to which Panofsky immigrated in 1931, students such as Frederick Hartt, and Meyer Schapiro continued under his influence in the discipline.
Technological advances allowed the building-up of huge collections of photographs, with an iconographic arrangement or index, which include those of the Warburg Institute and the Index of Medieval Art (formerly Index of Christian Art) at Princeton (which has made a specialism of iconography since its early days in America).
With the arrival of computing, the Iconclass system, a highly complex way of classifying the content of images, with 28,000 classification types, and 14,000 keywords, was developed in the Netherlands as a standard classification for recording collections, with the idea of assembling huge databases that will allow the retrieval of images featuring particular details, subjects or other common factors.
A number of collections of different types have been classified using Iconclass, notably many types of old master print, the collections of the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin and the German Marburger Index.
Religious images are used to some extent by all major religions, including both Indian and Abrahamic faiths, and often contain highly complex iconography, which reflects centuries of accumulated tradition.
Other features include the aureola and halo, also found in Christian and Islamic art, and divine qualities and attributes represented by asana and ritual tools such as the dharmachakra, vajra, chhatra, sauwastika, phurba and danda.
The symbolic use of colour to denote the Classical Elements or Mahabhuta and letters and bija syllables from sacred alphabetic scripts are other features.
Under the influence of tantra art developed esoteric meanings, accessible only to initiates; this is an especially strong feature of Tibetan art.
For example, Narasimha an incarnation of Vishnu though considered a wrathful deity but in few contexts is depicted in pacified mood.
Conversely, in Hindu art, narrative scenes have become rather more common in recent centuries, especially in miniature paintings of the lives of Krishna and Rama.
From the Constantinian period monumental art borrowed motifs from Roman Imperial imagery, classical Greek and Roman religion and popular art – the motif of Christ in Majesty owes something to both Imperial portraits and depictions of Zeus.
In the Late Antique period iconography began to be standardised, and to relate more closely to Biblical texts, although many gaps in the canonical Gospel narratives were plugged with matter from the apocryphal gospels.
Eventually the Church would succeed in weeding most of these out, but some remain, like the ox and ass in the Nativity of Christ.
After the period of Byzantine iconoclasm iconographical innovation was regarded as unhealthy, if not heretical, in the Eastern Church, though it still continued at a glacial pace.
More than in the West, traditional depictions were often considered to have authentic or miraculous origins, and the job of the artist was to copy them with as little deviation as possible.
The Eastern church also never accepted the use of monumental high relief or free-standing sculpture, which it found too reminiscent of paganism.
In both East and West, numerous iconic types of Christ, Mary and saints and other subjects were developed; the number of named types of icons of Mary, with or without the infant Christ, was especially large in the East, whereas Christ Pantocrator was much the commonest image of Christ.
Traditional models evolved for narrative paintings, including large cycles covering the events of the Life of Christ, the Life of the Virgin, parts of the Old Testament, and, increasingly, the lives of popular saints.
Especially in the West, a system of attributes developed for identifying individual figures of saints by a standard appearance and symbolic objects held by them; in the East they were more likely to identified by text labels.
From the Romanesque period sculpture on churches became increasingly important in Western art, and probably partly because of the lack of Byzantine models, became the location of much iconographic innovation, along with the illuminated manuscript, which had already taken a decisively different direction from Byzantine equivalents, under the influence of Insular art and other factors.
Developments in theology and devotional practice produced innovations like the subject of the Coronation of the Virgin and the Assumption, both associated with the Franciscans, as were many other developments.
Most painters remained content to copy and slightly modify the works of others, and it is clear that the clergy, by whom or for whose churches most art was commissioned, often specified what they wanted shown in great detail.
Whereas in the Romanesque and Gothic periods the great majority of religious art was intended to convey often complex religious messages as clearly as possible, with the arrival of Early Netherlandish painting iconography became highly sophisticated, and in many cases appears to be deliberately enigmatic, even for a well-educated contemporary.
The subtle layers of meaning uncovered by modern iconographical research in works of Robert Campin such as the Mérode Altarpiece, and of Jan van Eyck such as the Madonna of Chancellor Rolin and the Washington Annunciation lie in small details of what are on first viewing very conventional representations.
When Italian painting developed a taste for enigma, considerably later, it most often showed in secular compositions influenced by Renaissance Neo-Platonism.
From the 15th century religious painting gradually freed itself from the habit of following earlier compositional models, and by the 16th century ambitious artists were expected to find novel compositions for each subject, and direct borrowings from earlier artists are more often of the poses of individual figures than of whole compositions.
The Reformation soon restricted most Protestant religious painting to Biblical scenes conceived along the lines of history painting, and after some decades the Catholic Council of Trent reined in somewhat the freedom of Catholic artists.
Secular painting became far more common in the West from the Renaissance, and developed its own traditions and conventions of iconography, in history painting, which includes mythologies, portraits, genre scenes, and even landscapes, not to mention modern media and genres like photography, cinema, political cartoons, comic books and anime.
Renaissance mythological painting was in theory reviving the iconography of its Classical Antiquity, but in practice themes like Leda and the Swan developed on largely original lines, and for different purposes.
Personal iconographies, where works appear to have significant meanings individual to, and perhaps only accessible by, the artist, go back at least as far as Hieronymous Bosch, but have become increasingly significant with artists like Goya, William Blake, Gauguin, Picasso, Frida Kahlo and Joseph Beuys.
Iconography, often of aspects of popular culture, is a concern of other academic disciplines including Semiotics, Anthropology, Sociology, Media Studies and Cultural Studies.
Iconography is also used within film studies to describe the visual language of cinema, particularly within the field of genre criticism.
In the age of Internet, the new global history of the visual production of Humanity (Histiconologia ) includes History of Art and history of all kind of images or medias.
The Boulton Paul Defiant is a British interceptor aircraft that served with the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II.
The lack of forward-firing armament proved to be a great weakness in daylight combat and its potential was realised only when it was converted to night fighting.
Advances in aircraft design achieved during the 1920s and 1930s had resulted in a generation of multi-engined monoplane bombers that were substantially faster than their contemporary single-engined biplane fighters then in service.
During 1935, the concept of a turret-armed defensive fighter to counter the bomber threat emerged during a time in which the RAF anticipated having to defend Great Britain against massed formations of unescorted enemy bombers.
The separation of the tasks of flying the aircraft and firing the guns would allow the pilot to concentrate on putting the fighter into the best position for the gunner to engage the enemy.
However, manually-traversed turrets were viewed as having becoming more problematic and increasingly inadequate to effectively respond to ever-faster hostile aircraft, thus there was considerable interest in using a power-augmented turret.
The earlier Hawker Demon biplane had tested the concept with 59 of the fighters, which had been manufactured by Boulton Paul under a sub-contract, having been equipped with a hydraulically-powered rear turret, while a number of aircraft already built were also converted as such.
Boulton Paul and its managing director John Dudley North had gained considerable experience with defensive turrets from producing several earlier aircraft, including the Boulton Paul Overstrand bomber, and had devised a four-gun power-operated turret, the concept and development work of which would later be a core part of the Defiant design.
The aircraft was to feature a clean design, concentrating its armament within a power-operated turret, and the accepted performance was to be only slightly beneath that of other emergent fighter designs of the period, along with a sufficient fuel capacity to allow it to perform standing patrols.
In particular, the powered turret was to offer considerable flexibility, possessing both a 360-degree upper hemisphere field of fire and be able to engage enemy bombers from a range of quarters, including below the aircraft itself.
Specification F.9/35 had followed the earlier Specification F.5/33, which had sought a pusher design combined with a forward-set turret; F.5/33 had been unceremoniously abandoned as the proposals had offered little in terms of performance gains over existing fighters, and the corresponding Armstrong Whitworth AW.34 design which had been ordered was not completed.
The proposed fighter was similar in size and appearance to the more conventional Hawker Hurricane, differing in weight primarily due to the use of turret-based armaments.
Of the seven designs tendered, the Air Ministry ranked the P.82 as being the second-best submission, after the Hawker Hotspur but ahead of others such as Armstrong Whitworth's twin-engined design.
The Air Ministry wanted several designs investigated and the production of two prototypes of each but the associated costs involved in this preference were in excess of the funding thus special permission from HM Treasury was sought.
The Treasury agreed to finance the completion of seven prototypes (two Hawker, two Boulton Paul, two Fairey and one Armstrong Whitworth) but only prototypes of the two most promising designs, the P.82 and the Hotspur, were ordered in late 1935.
Furnished with a 1,030 hp (768 kW) Rolls-Royce Merlin I and initially lacking its turret, the aircraft bore a great resemblance to the contemporary Hawker Hurricane, although it was at least heavier.
This initial flight, piloted by Boulton Paul's chief test pilot Cecil Feather, occurred nearly a year ahead of the rival Hotspur but still without the turret.
Production orders had been prepared for the Hotspur, the initial front-running submission but Boulton Paul's turret design had gained the attention of the Air Ministry.
On 28 April 1937, an initial production order for 87 aircraft was received by Boulton Paul for the P.82; as this was prior to the first flight of the prototype, the aircraft had effectively been ordered 'off the drawing board'.
Completing its acceptance tests with the turret installed, the Defiant attained a top speed of and subsequently was declared the victor of the turret fighter competition.
Flight trials had revealed the aircraft to possess positive flight characteristics and considerable stability, which was of particular value when using the turret.
According to aviation author Michael Bowyers, the usefulness of the Defiant had suffered due to the overly long development time for the type, observing that the Defiant's service entry was delayed to such an extent that only three production aircraft had reached the RAF, and these were only for trial purposes, by the outbreak of the Second World War.
Due to delays with the type entering production, there were not enough available Defiants to begin standing patrols in 1940, by which point the introduction of not only more advanced fighters but bombers as well had allegedly undermined the usefulness of the type.
It was powered by the Rolls Royce Merlin III engine, which was capable of generating 1,030 hp/768 kW or 1,160 hp/865 kW.
Beyond the initial production order in April 1937, follow-on orders had been issued for the type; in February 1938, an additional 202 Defiant Mk I aircraft were ordered; three months later, another 161 aircraft were ordered.
In 1940, this rose to 563 Defiant Mk Is on order, while a further 280 were ordered under a rearranged manufacturing plan issued in mid-1940.
However, the performance of the Defiant had been determined to be inadequate by this point, which led to manufacturing being sustained principally for economic reasons.
The Mk II featured a pressurised fuel system, additional fuel, an enlarged rudder, a deeper radiator, a modified engine mounting and elongated cowling.
Once sufficient quantities of the Merlin XX engine were available, production of the improved variant commenced; in August 1941, the first production deliveries of the Defiant Mk II took place.
The need for both the Defiant and the Hurricane in the night fighter role petered out by 1942 as the larger Bristol Beaufighter became the RAF's primary night fighter type, freeing both aircraft for other duties.
In the search for alternative uses for the Defiant, which included limited service with the RAF Search and Rescue Force and suitability trials for cooperative operations with the British Army, it was determined that Defiant production would continue in order to satisfy a pressing requirement for high speed gunnery targets.
So that the type could be used to meet the growing overseas demand for target-towing aircraft, the Defiant was tropicalized, a large portion of which was the installation of large filters underneath the aircraft's nose.
A version of the Defiant for Fleet Air Arm (FAA), it had leading edge slats and a deeper fuselage, for the lower landing speeds required of carrier aircraft.
In 1940, Boulton Paul removed the turret from the prototype as a demonstrator for a fixed-gun fighter based on Defiant components.
The armament offered was either 12 Browning machine guns (six per wing) or four Hispano cannon in place of eight of the Brownings.
By that time, the RAF had sufficient quantities of Hawker Hurricanes and Supermarine Spitfires and did not require a new single-seat fighter.
With a calculated top speed of about at the P.94 was almost as fast as a contemporary Spitfire although less manoeuvrable.
Tankage for up to 104 gallons of fuel was housed within the wing centre section along with a large ventral radiator that completed the resemblance to the Hawker fighter.
The Defiant employed an all-metal stressed skin monocoque structure, which was built in sections that were subsequently bolted together, a manufacturing method previously used on other Bolton Paul-designed aircraft.
The principal armament of the aircraft is its powered dorsal turret, equipped with four 0.303 in (7.7 mm) Browning machine guns.
The fuselage was fitted with aerodynamic fairings that helped mitigate the drag of the turret; they were pneumatically powered and could be lowered into the fuselage so that the turret could rotate freely.
The Brownings were electrically fired and insulated cut-off points in the turret ring prevented the guns firing when they were pointing at the propeller disc or tailplane.
The zero deflection gunnery technique was practised, among others, by British ace Albert Ball using Lewis guns on Forster mounts – which largely eliminated the need for either complex gun sights or aiming-off by eye.
An elevation of +19° combined with ballistic properties of .303 (7.7mm) Brownings and the Defiant's operational speed made 'line of sight' aiming – as practised by Luftwaffe pilots – a practical proposition.
This technique (described more fully in the article Schräge Musik) seems to have been neither taught nor practised by the RAF.
Despite being common knowledge among veteran First World War aircrew, featuring in Air Ministry requirements reflected in fighter designs such as the contemporaneous Gloster G9 twin-engine bomber-interceptor – armed with five 20mm cannon at +12° – virtually all losses of Bomber Command aircraft shot down by Luftwaffe night fighters using upward-firing were ascribed to flak until 1944.
The gunner's hatch was in the rear of the turret, which had to be rotated to the side for entry and exit.
I forget the details of it but we could not have sat on our chute or even keep it nearby as in other turrets, so you wore – all in one – an inner layer that fitted a little like a wetsuit of today.
Initial training, formal squadron acceptance, and development of tactics began with other aircraft as it received its first Defiants only in early December at Martlesham Heath.
In February 1940, the Defiant commenced night fighter training operations; the squadron tested its tactics against British medium bombers – Hampdens and Blenheims – and 264's CO flew against Robert Stanford Tuck in a Spitfire, showing that the Defiant could defend itself by circling and keeping its speed up.
When the Defiant was first introduced to the public, the RAF put out a disinformation campaign, stating that the Defiant had 21 guns: four in the turret, 14 in the wings and three cannon in the nose.
On 12 May 1940, the first operational sortie occurred as a flight of six Defiants flew with six Spitfires of 66 Squadron over the English Channel to the coastline in the vicinity of The Hague, Netherlands; during this flight, a single Ju 88, which had been in the process of attacking a destroyer, was shot down.
During the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk, the squadron was based at RAF Manston, as one of the 16 squadrons that No.
On 28 May, shortly after take-off, 10 Defiants were attacked by about 30 Bf 109s – forming a circle, they claimed six German fighters for the loss of three Defiants.
The additional weight of the turret and the second crewman plus the aerodynamic drag gave the Defiant a lower performance than conventional single-seat fighter aircraft.
By flying in an ever-descending Lufbery circle, Defiant crews sacrificed the advantage of height but eliminated the possibility of attack from underneath, while giving 360° of defensive fire.
This tactic was used by 264 Squadron, but when the Defiants of 141 Sqn were committed to combat a few months later during the Battle of Britain, it chose to ignore their advice.
On 19 July, seven out of nine 141 Squadron Defiants sent to cover a convoy off Folkestone were shot down by Bf 109s of JG 51, and the remaining two survived, one badly damaged, thanks only to the intervention of Hurricanes of 111 Sqn.
Actual German losses were no more than 12–15 enemy aircraft; the turret's wide angle of fire meant that several Defiants could engage the same target at one time, leading to multiple claims.
On 22 August, in response to an urgent demand for aircraft to defend Britain's airspace, 264 Squadron relocated to RAF Hornchurch, Essex, while also using RAF Manston, Kent as a forward base.
On 24 August, nine Defiants of 264 scrambled from Manston to engage an incoming German force; in the ensuing engagement, three Ju 88s and a single Bf 109E were shot down for the loss of two Defiants.
Later that same day, another cluster of bombers appeared and were engaged by seven Defiants that had been in the process of refuelling; three Ju 88s and two Bf 109Es were downed while one Defiant was in turn downed along with another damaged.
On 26 August 264 Squadron engaged a formation of 12 Dornier Do 17 bombers over north-eastern Kent but was attacked by a large formation of Bf 109s.
Three of those victories were awarded to one Defiant, crewed by Flight Sergeants E. R. Thorn (pilot) and F. J. Barker (air gunner).
They shot down two Do 17s but were then engaged by a Bf 109, which set their Defiant on fire; they managed to shoot down the German fighter before making a forced landing.
The squadron lost a further five aircraft (to JG 26) on 28 August, with nine crew killed, and effectively ended operations, withdrawing to RAF Duxford the following day.
With these losses, the Defiant—which had been intended from the start as a day and night fighter—was transferred to night operations instead.
The type had proven unsuited to the demands of the day fighter when set against the likes of the Bf 109E, and was less capable than other RAF aircraft such as the Hurricane and the Spitfire.
In August, the squadron was operating both by day and night; on 15 August, the first possible nighttime success by a Defiant was recorded, and from September onwards, the squadron principally operated at night.
141 moved to RAF Biggin Hill, Bromley, while A Flight relocated to Gatwick Airport, West Sussex in October prior to moving to RAF Gravesend, Kent.
Successful claimed interceptions took place, such as two He 111s being claimed on 15/16 September; the first confirmed kill by Defiant of the squadron was made on 22 December, of a single He 111.
The Defiant night fighters had initially lacked airborne interception radar, thus enemy aircraft were spotted and attacked via the eyes of the crew alone, aided by ground-based searchlights intended to illuminate attacking bombers.
In the opening months of 1941, as the German night bombing campaign reached its peak, increasing numbers of Defiant night fighter-equipped squadrons became operational and commenced night patrols although, according to Bowyers, there were relatively few claims across many Defiant sorties.
In September 1941, 264 Squadron became the first to receive the Defiant Mk II, bringing them into operational use by mid-September.
The turret-fighter concept was not immediately discarded and the fitting of Defiant-type turrets to Beaufighter and Mosquito night fighters was tried to enable these aircraft to duplicate these methods but the deleterious effect on performance proved drastic and the idea was abandoned.
After trials in 1940 with the School of Army Co-operation to assess its capabilities in that role, the Defiant was tested as a high-speed gunnery trainer with the Air Ministry agreeing to continue production.
As the system required formation flying, it could only be used in daylight, where it could draw German fighters onto British fighters leaving another area relatively free for a British bombing raid.
515 Squadron flew its first mission using Mandrel on the night of 5/6 December 1942, continuing to use its Defiants for jamming operations until early 1943, when it began to receive twin-engined Bristol Beaufighters which had longer range and could carry more electronic equipment.
The Defiant flew its last jamming mission on 17 July 1943, with one aircraft being lost out of four sent out that night.
281 Squadron formed at RAF Ouston, Northumberland, partially operating Defiant Mk Is; four more squadrons received the type within the next two months.
However, six months following their introduction to the role, the Defiant had proved to be a poor choice for the role, in part due to the aircraft already been worn out by their previous service, which limited the sortie rate; other issues included its high stalling speed and wide turning radius.
A high-speed target tug variant, the Defiant Mk III, was developed in response to a growing demand for such a type; this model featured considerable modifications for the role, such as lacking the dorsal turret.
Many of the surviving Mk I and Mk II Defiants also had their turrets removed when they were converted for the same role.
In this final target towing variant, the Defiant ended up with a number of overseas assignments with both the RAF and Fleet Air Arm in the Middle East, Africa and India.
Further deployments occurred to Canada, where the Defiant was used as a target tug and trainer with the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan.
The aircraft was moved on 20 May 2009 to Rochester Airport, where it was restored by the Medway Aircraft Preservation Society (MAPS).
It was moved from Hendon to Royal Air Force Museum Cosford in November 2016 for display in War in the Air hangar.
A full-scale model Defiant has been made in the UK and is on display in a Battle of Britain day fighter scheme.
codice_1 is a program that displays a pseudorandom message from a database of quotations that first appeared in Version 7 Unix.
Distributions of fortune are usually bundled with a collection of themed files, containing sayings like those found on fortune cookies (hence the name), quotations from famous people, jokes, or poetry.
As of November 2017, the quotations (with the exception of tips relevant to system operation) have been removed from FreeBSD entirely after user complaints regarding quotations from Adolf Hitler being contained in some of the files.
Often, users on text-mode Unix terminals will place this command into either their codice_4 or codice_5 files to display them at logon and logout, respectively.
Most Unix systems use fortunes which are slanted heavily toward the user base of Unix, and thus contain many obscure jokes about computer science and computer programming.
The exact fortunes vary between each type of Unix, however there seems to be a strong overlap between the FreeBSD and OpenBSD fortune files.
The Plan 9 fortune files seem to be much shorter, with many just on 1 line, and the 'offensive' dicta is much stronger.
Most Linux distributions, such as Debian (and its derivatives), choose the FreeBSD fortunes to put in their fortune packages, that can be installed through the package manager.
The original codice_1 program could be used for the more general task of picking up a random line from a plain-text file.
However, in most modern Unix systems codice_1 cannot be used this way, since they use an ad hoc file format for fortune files to allow multiline aphorisms.
He served as Plaid Cymru Member of Parliament for Caernarfon from 1974 until 2001 and as an Assembly Member for Caernarfon from 1999 until 2003.
On 19 November 2010 it was announced that he had been granted a life peerage by the Queen, and took his seat in the House of Lords as Baron Wigley, of Caernarfon on 24 January 2011.
He attended Caernarfon grammar school and Rydal School before going on to the Victoria University of Manchester and training as an accountant.
In May 1972 Wigley became a councillor on the pre-1974 Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council, after a shock win in the Park ward, pushing the sitting Labour councillor into third place.
After coming second at Merioneth in the 1970 General Election, in 1974 Wigley became one of Plaid Cymru's first three MPs to be elected to the UK Parliament.
Gwynfor Evans had led Plaid Cymru since 1945, but resigned after the defeat of the Yes Campaign in the devolution referendum of 1979.
Wigley's triumph in 1981 was largely a pyrrhic victory - he won the presidency, but Elis Thomas would have a greater influence over the party's ideology throughout the 1980s.
In 1984 Wigley resigned from the presidency because of his children's health, but returned to the job in 1991 after the resignation of Dafydd Elis Thomas.
In 1999 Wigley became a member of the National Assembly for Wales, and led the Plaid Cymru opposition to Labour, before his resignation from the leadership, officially on medical advice but amid rumours of an internal plot against him in 2000.
In 2006 he sought and secured nomination to Plaid Cymru's North Wales party list as the secondary candidate for the 2007 National Assembly for Wales election but, because in part of constituency seat gains, Plaid Cymru failed to gain a second regional seat.
The couple had four children, son Hywel Wigley and daughter Eluned Wigley and two sons, Alun & Geraint, who died of a genetic illness.
His sons' condition influenced the direction of his career, and he took a strong interest in the affairs of disabled people, being vice-chairman of the Parliamentary all-party disablement group, vice-president of Disability Wales, vice-president of Mencap (Wales), former president of the Spastics' Society of Wales and sponsor of the Disabled Persons Act in 1981.
Henry Baird McLeish (born 15 June 1948) is a Scottish Labour Party politician, author and academic who briefly served as the First Minister of Scotland from 2000 until 2001, when he had to resign following a financial scandal, the first major scandal to face the Scottish Parliament since its reincarnation.
Formerly a professional football player and urban planner, McLeish was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Central Fife from 1987 to 2001 and the Member of the Scottish Parliament for Central Fife from 1999 to 2003.
Educated at Buckhaven High School, he left school in 1963 at the age of 15 to become a schoolboy professional football player at Leeds United and represented Scotland as a youth international.
After six weeks, he was suffering from homesickness and moved back to Scotland, where he joined Scottish Football League club East Fife.
His footballing career was cut short by injury, and he returned to education, studying at Heriot-Watt University 1968–1973, where he graduated with a BA (Hons) in Urban Planning.
After graduating, McLeish worked as a research officer at Edinburgh Corporation's department of social work from 1973 to 1974, then as a planning officer for Fife County Council from 1974 to 1975 and Dunfermline District Council from 1975 to 1987.
He was a local councillor on Kirkcaldy District Council from 1974 to 1977, and then on Fife Regional Council 1978 to 1987, fighting East Fife unsuccessfully in 1979.
He served as leader of Fife Regional Council from 1982 until his election as Labour MP for Central Fife at the 1987 General Election.
In the end of the 1980s and into the 1990s, McLeish was a Labour shadow spokesman for several portfolios, including education and employment 1988 to 1989, employment and training 1989 to 1992, shadow Scottish Office Minister of State 1992 to 1994, shadow Minister of Transport 1994 to 1995, shadow Minister of Health 1995 to 1996, and shadow Minister of Social Security 1996 to 1997.
When Labour came to power in May 1997, McLeish was appointed as a Minister of State for Scotland, with responsibility for home affairs and devolution.
As Donald Dewar's right hand man in Westminster, McLeish helped secure devolution for Scotland and manoeuvre the Scotland Act through the Westminster Parliament.
After the creation of the Scottish Parliament in May 1999, McLeish was elected as MSP for Fife Central and became Minister for Enterprise and Lifelong Learning.
After Dewar's death in October 2000, McLeish defeated his rival Jack McConnell by 44 votes to 36 in the race to become the second First Minister.
The ballot was held amongst a restricted electorate of Labour MSPs and members of Scottish Labour's national executive, because there was insufficient time for a full election to be held.
He managed several task forces designed to improve the competitiveness of Scottish industry, especially the PILOT project for Scottish oil and gas supply chains.
Whilst in government serving as First Minister, McLeish oversaw and implemented the free personal care for the elderly scheme as well as the implementation of the McCrone Agreement for education teachers in Scotland.
He resigned as First Minister in November 2001, amid a scandal involving allegations he sub let part of his tax subsidised Westminster constituency office without it having been registered in the register of interests kept in the Parliamentary office.
Though McLeish could not have personally benefited financially from the oversight, he undertook to repay the £36,000 rental income, and resigned to allow the Scottish Labour Party a clean break to prepare for the 2003 Parliamentary Elections.
Since leaving mainstream politics, McLeish has lectured widely in the United States, particularly at the United States Air Force Academy and the University of Arkansas, where he holds a visiting professorship shared between the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences and the University of Arkansas School of Law.
Rancho Cucamonga was a Mexican land grant in present-day San Bernardino County, California given in 1839 to dedicated soldier, smuggler and politician, Tiburcio Tapia by Mexican governor Juan Bautista Alvarado.
It extended easterly from San Antonio Creek to what is now Hermosa Avenue, and from today's Eighth Street to the mountains.
With the cession of California to the United States following the Mexican–American War, the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo provided that the land grants would be honored.
As required by the Land Act of 1851, a claim for Rancho Cucamonga was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1852, and the grant was patented to Leon V. Prudhomme in 1872.
Rains in 1856 married Maria Merced Williams, the daughter of Rancho Santa Ana del Chino owner Isaac Williams and granddaughter of Antonio Maria Lugo, owner of Rancho San Bernardino.
Ceredel claimed he, Precopio and four others were paid $500 by Ramon Carrillo, another ranchero and political opponent, to kill Rains.
Ceradel was convicted of attempting to murder the sheriff's deputy who arrested him and was sentenced to 10 years in San Quentin.
Ramon Carrillo always maintained his innocence of the crime, but was shot in the back from ambush and killed on the Los Angeles road west of Cucamonga on May 21, 1864 in another unsolved murder.
Isaias W. Hellman, a Los Angeles banker, and a San Francisco business syndicate acquired the 13,000-acres Rancho Cucamonga at a sheriff's sale in 1871.
In 1882, George Chaffey, a Canadian from the province of Ontario, purchased 8,000 acres of the Rancho Cucamonga land for $90,000.
In 1977 three unincorporated communities which had emerged on the old ranch lands—Alta Loma, Cucamonga and Etiwanda—became the city of Rancho Cucamonga.
Although some contend that the location of the poem's deserted village is unknown, others note that Auburn village close to Athlone is the likely subject of Goldsmith's poem.
The poem is written in heroic couplets, and describes the decline of a village and the emigration of many of its residents to America.
In the poem, Goldsmith criticises rural depopulation, the moral corruption found in towns, consumerism, enclosure, landscape gardening, avarice, and the pursuit of wealth from international trade.
The poem was very popular in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but also provoked critical responses, including from other poets such as George Crabbe.
In the 1760s, he travelled extensively around England, visiting many small settlements at a time when the enclosure movement was at its height.
The poem is dedicated to the artist Sir Joshua Reynolds, with whom Goldsmith was a close friend and founding member, along with Samuel Johnson, of a dining society called The Club.
While personal references in the poem give the impression of referring to the village in which Goldsmith grew up, the poem has also been associated with Nuneham Courtenay in Oxfordshire.
At Nuneham Courtenay, only an old woman was allowed to remain living in her house—Goldsmith's poem features an old woman who returns to the village, and she is depicted on the title page of the first edition.
The poem then moves on to describe the village in its current state, reporting that it has been abandoned by its residents with its buildings ruined.
In its use of a balanced account of Auburn in its inhabited and deserted states, and in its employment of an authorly persona within the poem, it conforms to contemporary neoclassical conventions.
He would, therefore, have been aware of the criticisms made by classical writers such as Juvenal and Pliny of the displacement of the rural poor by the rich.
Furthermore, in the eighteenth century the decline of the Roman Empire was attributed to the growth of luxury and pride in Rome.
While this may detract from the authority of Goldsmith's social critique, it also allows readers to project their own concerns onto the poem.
Furthermore, Alfred Lutz has commented that Goldsmith's attacks on landscape gardening have a wider political significance, because enclosure's defenders sometimes compared enclosed fields to gardens.
The paintings were copied by an engraver, and appeared in an edition of Goldsmith's poetry published in the same year by F. J. du Roveray.
Sebastian Mitchell states that some modern critics have seen the poem as appearing at a turning point in British culture, when public social and political opinions, and private emotional dispositions, diverged.
In the United States, a different reading occurred—while the English Auburn may have been deserted, the new world offered opportunities for the recreation of Goldsmith's idyll.
In 1770, for instance, Thomas Comber argued that the population of rural England was not decreasing, and that enclosure could increase farmers' demand for labourers.
The Irish playwright Edmund Falconer (c. 1814–1879) adapted the work to suit as opera libretto for the three-act opera of the same name (1880) by John William Glover (1815–1899).
The marble original with plinth is in the Royal Collection, and a copy of the sculpture is in the National Portrait Gallery in London.
Catherine Margaret Ashton, Baroness Ashton of Upholland, (born 20 March 1956 at Upholland, Lancashire) is a British Labour politician who served as the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and First Vice President of the European Commission in the Barroso Commission from 2009 to 2014.
She became the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Department for Education and Skills in 2001 and subsequently in the Ministry of Justice in 2004.
Ashton became Leader of the House of Lords and Lord President of the Council in Gordon Brown's first Cabinet in June 2007.
In December 2009, she became the inaugural High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy that was created by the Treaty of Lisbon.
In January 2017, Ashton became Chancellor of the University of Warwick, succeeding Sir Richard Lambert and becoming Warwick's first female chancellor.
She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology in 1977 from Bedford College, London (now part of Royal Holloway, University of London).
Between 1977 and 1983, Ashton worked for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) as an administrator and in 1982 was elected as its national treasurer and subsequently as one of its vice-chairs.
From 1983-89 she was director of Business in the Community, working with business to tackle inequality, and she established the Employers' Forum on Disability, Opportunity Now, and the Windsor Fellowship.
She chaired the Health Authority in Hertfordshire from 1998 to 2001 and she became a vice-president of the National Council for One-Parent Families.
In 2002 she became Minister responsible for Sure Start in the same department, and in September 2004 she was appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary in the Department for Constitutional Affairs, with responsibilities including the National Archives and the Public Guardianship Office.
Ashton was sworn of the Privy Council in 2006, and she became Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the new Ministry of Justice in May 2007.
On 28 June 2007, Prime Minister Gordon Brown appointed Ashton to HM Cabinet as Leader of the House of Lords and Lord President of the Council.
Because European Commissioners may not engage in any other occupation during their term of office, whether gainful or not, she used the procedural device previously adopted in 1984 by Lord Cockfield and took a leave of absence from the House of Lords on 14 October 2008, retaining her peerage but not her seat.
During her term, Ashton represented the EU in negotiations related to a long-running dispute over beef with the United States (May 2009), led the EU delegation in an agreement with South Korea that removed virtually all tariffs between the two economies (October 2009) and represented the EU in ending a long-running dispute over banana imports, principally involving Latin America and the EU.
On 19 November 2009, Ashton was appointed the EU's first High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security policy.
Having initially pushed for former British Prime Minister Tony Blair to become President of the European Council, Gordon Brown eventually relented on the condition that the post of High Representative be awarded to a Briton.
The magazine credited her, however, with piloting the Lisbon Treaty through the House of Lords, handling the European Commission's Trade Portfolio without disagreement with her colleagues, and being suited to consensus-building.
After a confirmation hearing by the Trade Committee of the European Parliament, Ashton was approved by the Parliament on 22 October 2008 by 538 to 40 votes, with 63 abstentions.
She was appointed Dame Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George (GCMG) in the 2015 New Year Honours List for services to the European Common Foreign and Security Policy.
The agreement, which among other things removed obstacles to Serbia and Kosovo joining the European Union, followed Ashton's mediation of 10 rounds of talks between Serbia's Prime Minister, Ivica Dacic, and Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci.
A cross-party committee of the U.S. House of Representatives nominated Ashton and her fellow negotiators Dacic and Thaci for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Subsequently, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin criticised Ashton's categorisation of the anti-government protests in Kiev as peaceful in nature, pointing to the death of a number of police officers.
At the beginning of March a recording of a conversation between Ashton and the Estonian foreign minister Urmas Paet was released.
In the call, Paet said he had been told by a woman doctor named Olga that snipers responsible for killing police and civilians in Kiev last month were protest movement provocateurs rather than supporters of then-president Viktor Yanukovych.
The United Nations Committee Against Torture stated that the new law could prohibit sharing information on the human rights situation in Russia with the United Nations human rights organs.
Ashton was questioned by Members of the European Parliament in 2009 about her role as national treasurer in the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in the 1980s, amid claims by its opponents that it may have had financial links to the Soviet Union.
In February 2010, Ashton was criticised within the EU community for not visiting Haiti in the wake of the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
The survey, carried out by lobbying and PR company Burson-Marsteller, asked 324 Brussels policy-makers to rate the European Commissioners with a grade of A to E (A being the highest).
In March 2012, Ashton was criticised by Israeli politicians for comparing the shooting of Jewish children in Toulouse with the situation in Gaza.
After she was quoted in the press as not having mentioned the Israeli city of Sderot, Israeli politicians denounced her for equating the murder of three children and a rabbi in the shooting attack with the situation in Gaza.
Ashton's staff also pointed to her personal involvement in nuclear negotiations with Iran as among the international responsibilities that had kept her away from Commission meetings.
The tone of public comment on Ashton's performance in office was subsequently to be influenced especially by her contributions to negotiations over Kosovo and Iran.
I have never met Baroness Ashton but I guess that one of her secrets is that she keeps her head down, does not flaunt her ego, and allows others to take the credit.
It takes little imagination to envisage how a male politician from any of the main parties would have exploited the Kosovo peace-deal, or the Morsi visit.
Catherine Ashton is a member of the Global Leadership Foundation, an organization that works to support democratic leadership, prevent and resolve conflict through mediation and promote good governance in the form of democratic institutions, open markets, human rights and the rule of law.
It is a not-for-profit organization composed of former heads of government, senior governmental and international organization officials who work closely with heads of government on governance-related issues of concern to them.
Musically, the band started off with a traditional death metal sound on their early albums, but soon turned into a melodic death metal band.
Contrary to what some might believe, Magnus did not leave because of a shift in lyrical content, but because of a cracked eardrum during their 1st European tour (he later went on to black metal band Dark Funeral as Emperor Magus Caligula).
After spending three years in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1990, founder Peter Tägtgren returned to his homeland of Sweden, to form his own band.
Tägtgren's experience as a producer may have also have led to the band's change in musical direction, as he is more closely involved with many other bands while producing their albums.
On November 10, 2011, Mikael Hedlund announced writing material for a new studio album during an interview with Metal Shock Finland's Chief Editor, Mohsen Fayyazi.
Works of authority on the United Kingdom constitution are books written by constitutional theorists that are considered to be authoritative guides to the UK constitution.
The United Kingdom has no written overall Constitution, thus these are guides as to the rules and customs of the land.
He had previously been Mayor of Newtownabbey Borough Council, and was also a Member of the Northern Ireland Assembly from 1982 to 1986.
Forsythe was the constituency election agent for Ulster Unionist leader James Molyneaux, and later won the same seat, albeit with a reduced majority, in 1983.
Like Molyneaux, Forsythe opposed the Good Friday Agreement and supported proposals for a Northern Ireland-wide administrative assembly/regional council (with powers broadly analogous to the National Assembly for Wales) to administer legislation and public services that were, at that time, administered by Northern Ireland Office Ministers, civil servants and quangos.
On more than one occasion, Forsythe claimed that his experience – both in the 1982–86 Northern Ireland Assembly and as a Past Vice-Chairman of the Ulster Monday Club – led him to conclude that the unimplemented 1979 Conservative General Election Manifesto commitment to administrative devolution in Northern Ireland offered the way forward for Northern Ireland.
He was active member of the House of Commons' Social Security Select Committee from 1991–1997, and the Environment, Transport and the Regions Select Committee from 1997 until his death in 2000.
He argued that air travel between Great Britain and Northern Ireland should be exempt from air passenger duty, on the basis that the tax unfairly disadvantaged Northern Ireland compared with the rest of the United Kingdom given the limited alternative means of travelling between Belfast and London.
Until resigning the whip in July 2019, Triesman sat as a Labour peer, having previously been a minister in the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills and Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Triesman (named Maxim after Maxim Gorky, the Russian author, whom his mother admired) was born into a North London Jewish community.
Triesman was educated at the Stationers' Company's School in London, before going up to the University of Essex and subsequently the University of Cambridge, Kings College.
He was subsequently suspended from Essex in 1968 after interrupting a meeting addressed by a defence industry scientist but readmitted after two weeks.
He has served on the boards and advisory boards of several companies including chairing Victoria Management, the advisory board of UBS and Templewood Merchant Bank and some of its subsidiaries.
He is an Executive Board member of the Salamanca Group and its subsidiaries, One Ocean Enterprises, Funding Affordable Homes (and its Housing Association).
In 1959, aged 16, Triesman became a member of the Labour Party but eleven years later resigned and joined the Communist Party where he remained for six years, following which he rejoined the Labour Party.
For a number of years, he was a lecturer and research director at South Bank Polytechnic (now London South Bank University) and held roles in the lecturers' union, NATFHE.
Subsequent information from within NATFHE circles showed that, contrary to Triesman evidence at the Industrial Tribunal, this policy was non-existent and had been put to the Industrial Tribunal to avoid he union being found guilty of racial discrimination.
For further information you should consult ‘The Anti-racism Myth: A Flight into the Cuckoo’s Nest’ by G Weaver, especially chapters 7,8,10,15,16.
He then was appointed as the General Secretary of the Labour Party from 2001 to December 2003, where a significant part of his job was to maintain the support of the trade unions who had become disillusioned with Tony Blair's government.
He is a Senior Visiting Fellow at the University of Warwick and a Visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics.
In 2015, he was awarded the Icebreaker Award by the Chinese Ambassador to the UK for services to Chinese-UK relations, including football.

Triesman resigned from the Labour group in the House of Lords in July 2019 in protest at the party leadership's behaviour and policies with regard to antisemitism in the party, Brexit and defence.
Under Tony Blair's third Labour administration, Triesman served as Parliamentary Under-Secretary in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office with responsibility for relations with Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, Overseas Territories, the Commonwealth, UK visas, migration policy working directly to the Prime Minister, consular policy, the British Council, the BBC World Service and the Chevening Scholarships Scheme.
During this period, he conducted negotiations with Iran to secure the release of a group of British naval and marine personnel who had been taken prisoner in the Upper Persian Gulf.

He was especially damning of the FA's administrative procedures and its working relationship with other football bodies, in particular the Premier League.
On 10 May 2011, Triesman, speaking before a British parliamentary select committee, affirmed his suspicions of bribery concerning four FIFA members, claiming that they sought bribes in return for backing England's failed 2018 World Cup bid.
Whilst the FIFA Executive Committee dismissed the allegations, all the FIFA officials named have subsequently been either convicted of offences, or face extradition to the USA for trial.

The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama was founded by Elsie Fogerty in 1906 to offer a new form of training in speech and drama for young actors and other students.
The school offers undergraduate, postgraduate, research degrees, and short courses in acting, actor training, applied theatre, theatre crafts and making, design, drama therapy, movement, musical theatre, performance, producing, puppetry, research, scenography, stage management, teacher training, technical arts, voice, and writing.
On 9 October 2008 the school announced that Harold Pinter (1930–2008), the 2005 Nobel Laureate in Literature and Central alumnus, had agreed to become its president and to receive an honorary fellowship in the school's graduation ceremony on 10 December 2008, but Pinter had to receive it in absentia, because of ill health, and he died two weeks later.
In 1957 the school moved from the Royal Albert Hall, having acquired the lease of the Embassy Theatre at Swiss Cottage and its associated buildings.
The stage department was running its three-year course for actors, with alumni including Laurence Olivier and Peggy Ashcroft already a part of its history, and a two-year course for stage managers.
The teacher training department was preparing students for its own diploma, which was a recognised teaching qualification, and for the London University Diploma in Dramatic Art.
That diploma had been instituted in 1912 as a result of Fogerty's campaign for the recognition of drama and drama teaching as subjects worthy of serious academic study.
Central had been offering degrees since 1986, firstly validated by the Council for National Academic Awards and from 1992 by the Open University.
In 2005 students from the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art transferred to Central after a 100-year history of significant contributions to stage and screen.
In the same year, the school was designated as the Higher Education Funding Council for England's Centre for Excellence in Training for Theatre.
With effect from September 2005 Central became a college of the University of London, finally realising the ambitions articulated a hundred years earlier by its founder Elsie Fogerty.
Apart from its notable alumni, who include Laurence Olivier, Vanessa Redgrave, Judi Dench, Cameron Mackintosh, Harold Pinter, Jason Isaacs and James Fox, the school has had some notable staff.
On 9 October 2008, the school announced that Harold Pinter, who attended the school in 1950–51, had agreed to become its president, succeeding Labour Party politician Peter Mandelson, who had rejoined the government of Prime Minister Gordon Brown; previous presidents of the school included Dame Judi Dench and Lord Laurence Olivier.
Deputy Principal / Deputy CEO / Clerk to Governors, Deborah Scully; prior to joining Central, Debbie held a number of roles in the former Inner London Education Authority (ILEA).

In 1988, Home Robertson placed his maternal family's historic home and grounds, Paxton House, in a Historic Buildings Preservation Trust, and opened it to the public.
One of his Home forebears was a Member of the (original) Parliament of Scotland, for Berwickshire, in 1707 who opposed the Act of Union.
As a delegate to the Labour Party Conference in 1976, Home-Robertson moved the resolution which committed the Party to devolution for Scotland, and throughout his career at Westminster he campaigned for the establishment of the Scottish Parliament.
Home-Robertson was the successful Labour candidate at the Berwick and East Lothian by-election in 1978, following the death of Labour MP John P Mackintosh.
He represented Berwick and East Lothian until the 1983 general election, when the constituency was abolished and he was elected for the new constituency of East Lothian.
He was re-elected at subsequent general elections before standing down at the 2001 election, when he was replaced by Anne Picking.

Sir John Robert Madejski, (; born Robert John Hurst; 28 April 1941) is an English businessman, with commercial interests spanning property, broadcast media, hotels, restaurants, publishing and football.
He changed his name when his stepfather, a Polish airman during World War II, returned to England to marry his mother.
Madejski was born Robert John Hurst on 28 April 1941, in Stoke-on-Trent, as a result of a wartime fling, being initially placed with a foster family.
While still a baby, Hurst was moved back to his mother's home town of Reading and placed in a children's home.
His mother later married a Polish Second World War airman, Zygmunt Madejski, with Hurst eventually coming to live with them and adopting his stepfather's surname of Madejski.
While on holiday in Florida in the mid-1970s, Madejski saw a car sales magazine that included pictures of the vehicles on sale.
He owns a large number of luxury cars, including two Rolls-Royces, two Bentleys, four Jaguars, an AC Cobra and two Ferraris, including a red 328 which sits inside a glass case in the gym of his home.
He made front-page headlines in UK tabloid newspapers in October 2004 due to his alleged romantic attachment with singer and TV star Cilla Black.
in 1990, and has given his name to the club's Madejski Stadium, built in 1998 with £25 million largely contributed by him.
In 2006, he led the Royals to the top tier of English football for the first time in their 135-year history and proposed to expand the stadium to 38,000 seats.
Having guided Reading to the Premier League, in 2006 Madejski said he was ready to sell up:The brand is getting stronger all the time and if there is a billionaire who wants a nice accessory down the M4 then come and talk to me.
On 21 January 2012 it was announced that Madejski planned to relinquish control of the club by selling a 51% stake to a Russian consortium (Thames Sports Investments) headed by Anton Zingarevich for £40m.
Madejski announced that as part of the deal he would continue as chairman for at least another two years followed by becoming honorary life president of the club.
The donation was crucial to the fund-raising effort and enabled the trustees to build the War Memorial Chapel, dedicated to the 255 fallen of the Falkand Islands War: it is situated in the grounds of Pangbourne College and was opened by the Queen in 2000.
He has recently contributed to the running of Thamesbridge College, Reading, which re-opened in September 2006 under the new name of the John Madejski Academy.
His most recent project was a £500m redevelopment of Reading town centre, but this has been halted by the credit crunch.
Madejski is active in politics: he has contributed extensively to the Conservative Party and was vociferous in his calls for the removal of the then party leader Iain Duncan Smith in 2003.

He has been Non-executive Director of British Sky Broadcasting Group plc and is currently Chairman of C. Hoare & Co, Non-executive Director of Xansa plc and Chair of the Board of Patrons of The Wilberforce Society.
The first official release of the KOffice suite was on October 23, 2000 when it was released as part of K Desktop Environment 2.0.
Versions 1.1 followed in 2001, 1.2 in 2002, 1.3 in 2004, 1.4 in 2005, and 1.5 and 1.6 both in 2006.
Coinciding with the work on SC4, the KOffice team prepared a major new release – KOffice 2.0 – which used the new KDE Platform 4 libraries.
A new framework for effects on shapes and a new import filters for the Microsoft Office Open XML formats that are used in MS Office 2007 and later got added.
KOffice 2.3, released 31 December 2010, along with subsequent bugfix releases (2.3.1–2.3.3) was still a collaborative effort of both the KOffice and Calligra development teams.
The Calligra team originally scheduled to release the final 2.4 version in January 2012 but problems in the undo/redo feature of Words and Stage required a partial rewrite and caused a delay.
Calligra Mobile's development was initiated in summer 2009 and first shown during Akademy / Desktop Summit 2009 by KO GmbH as a simple port of KOffice to Maemo.
Later Nokia hired KO to assist them with a full-fledged mobile version, including a touchscreen-friendly user interface which was presented by Nokia during Maemo Conference in October 2009.
Along with the launch of the Nokia N9 smartphone, Nokia released its own Poppler and Calligra-based office document viewer under GPL.
As with Krita, this Gemini release adds a touchscreen interface to Words and Stage and users can switch between desktop and touch mode at runtime.
Born at the château de Voisenon near Melun, he was only ten when he addressed an epistle in verse to Voltaire, who asked the boy to visit him.
A duel provoked by Voisenon inspired him with remorse, and he entered a seminary; he was soon promoted to the post of secretary to his relative, the Bishop of Boulogne.
He became closely attached to Madame du Châtelet, the mistress of Voltaire, and was intimate with the comte de Caylus and Mademoiselle Jeanne Quinault.
His pen was always at the service of any of his friends, and it was generally supposed that he had a considerable share in Favart's most successful operas.
Voisenon had scruples all his life about the incongruity between his way of living and his profession, but he continued to write indecent stories for private circulation, and wrote verses in honor of Madame du Barry, as he had done for Madame de Pompadour.
On the disgrace of his patron, the duc de Choiseul, he lost his pensions and honours, but soon recovered his position.
Such applications blend well with desktop environments that are GTK-based as well, such as GNOME, Cinnamon, LXDE, MATE, Pantheon, Sugar, Xfce or ROX Desktop.
all the people involved with the development of the GNOME desktop environment, is the biggest contributor to GTK, and the GNOME Core Applications as well as the GNOME Games employ the newest GUI widgets from the cutting-edge version of GTK and demonstrates their capabilities.
Despite the immense popularity of Qt, there continues to be science software using the GUI widgets of version 2 of GTK toolkit.
Whether this is going to remain that way, or whether the software will be ported to some current version of GTK (maybe GTK 4) remains to be seen.
Thomas Erskine May, 1st Baron Farnborough, (8 February 1815 – 17 May 1886) was a British constitutional theorist and Clerk of the House of Commons.
He was christened on 21 September 1815 at St Martin-in-the-Fields, Westminster with his parents being registered as Thomas and Sarah May.
May began his parliamentary service in 1831, at the age of 16, as Assistant Librarian in the House of Commons Library.
May became examiner of petitions for private bills in 1846 and from 1847 to 1856 was Taxing Master for both Houses of Parliament.
May was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) on 16 May 1860 and promoted to Knight Commander (KCB) on 6 July 1866.
In 1873, he was elected a bencher of the Middle Temple and awarded an honorary Doctorate of Civil Law by the University of Oxford in 1874.
Since he left no heirs, the barony became extinct, making it the second-shortest-lived peerage in British history, after the Barony of Leighton.
Sir William McKay, who edited Erskine May's private journal, has suggested that May was possibly an unacknowledged son or grandson of The 1st Baron Erskine.
John Ernest Townend (12 June 1934 – 18 August 2018) was a British politician who was a Member of Parliament for the Conservative Party.
The son of Charles Townend, he was born in 1934 in Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, and educated at Hymers College in Hull.
He studied accountancy 1951-57 as an articled clerk, and received the Plender Prize for the top prize when he became a Chartered Accountant.
In the latter year he joined his family business as Commercial Secretary and Finance Director, becoming Managing Director (1961-1979) and then chairman of House of Townend wine merchants in Hull.
He was then elected to Humberside County Council in 1973, becoming the Leader of the Conservative Group and shadow Chairman of the Policy Committee.
He subsequently became Leader of the county council, Chairman of its Policy Committee, and member of the Policy Committee of the Association of County Councils, 1977.
At the 1979 general election Townend was elected as the Conservative Party Member of Parliament for Bridlington, East Riding of Yorkshire, a seat which he held until his retirement in 2001.
He served as Secretary of the Conservative Back-bench Finance Committee and was a member of the Select Committee on Treasury and Civil Service affairs and Vice-Chairman of the Back-bench Finance Committee.
He became Chairman of the Small Businesses Committee, a Fellow of the Industry and Parliament Trust, and a member of the Executive Committee of IPU.
Donald Cameron Easterbrook Gorrie (2 April 1933 – 25 August 2012) was a Scottish Liberal Democrat politician, and former Member of the Scottish Parliament for Central Scotland Region.
After starting his professional career as a schoolteacher, he was Secretary of the Scottish Liberal Party, before becoming an Edinburgh City councillor in 1971.
He remained a member of Edinburgh Council until its dissolution in 1976, when he became a member of Lothian Regional Council 1976–96, Edinburgh District Council 1978–96 and the new Edinburgh City Council 1995–97.
During this time he stood for election to Westminster in the Edinburgh West constituency four times before finally winning it and becoming the area's MP in 1997.
But his lifelong passion in politics was to see the establishment of a Scottish Parliament, and sit as a Member of it.
So when the Scottish Parliament was established by the referendum of 1997, he announced he would retire from Westminster after just one term as an MP to stand for the new Scottish Parliament.
He was therefore elected in 1999, as Liberal Democrat MSP for the Central Scotland region (retiring from Westminster at the next General Election in 2001).
A feisty and independent-minded politician, he was always fiercely loyal to his liberal instincts, and had a particular mistrust of the Labour Party, which he saw as centralist and corrupt.
He was firmly on the radical left of the Liberal Democrats, believing in full-scale political reform and significant increases in spending on public services.
This put him at odds with the more cautious Liberal Democrat party leadership at the time, and he was often seen as a renegade member of the 'awkward squad,' for example in his implacable opposition to the coalition with the Labour Party formed after the 1999 elections (he was one of only three of his party's MSPs to vote against it).
Gorrie disliked his characterisation as a rebel, pointing to the fact that (unlike the pro-coalition MSPs) he was merely sticking to the Liberal Democrats' manifesto commitments.
As time passed, and particularly after he was re-elected for a second term as MSP in 2003, he mellowed, however, and – confined to the backbenches with no hope of ministerial appointment – he concentrated on campaigning on a number of particular themes which interested him.
His boldness and eye for publicity endeared him to a media corps that was often starved of stories by the cautious and tightly-controlled party machines that operated at Holyrood, and he became associated with a number of individual causes, like the spiralling cost and mismanagement of the Holyrood building project, and later his campaign against the sectarianism that plagued Scottish society.
Though controversial at first, this latter campaign raised the profile of the issue until eventually it was taken up by First Minister Jack McConnell, who instigated a series of legislative attempts to deal with the issue.
Disliked by some (mainly those in what he would term 'the establishment') for the uncompromising stances he has taken, Donald Gorrie is nevertheless widely respected for his consistency of principle and his long record of service to liberal politics and public life in general.
He upset the party leadership during the campaign by saying the Lib Dems should 'never say never' to an independence referendum – as that would resign them to another coalition with the Labour Party.
The eight-deck car and passenger ferry was owned by Townsend Thoresen, designed for rapid loading and unloading on the competitive cross-channel route, and there were no watertight compartments.
The ship left harbour with her bow-door open, and the sea immediately flooded the decks; within minutes, she was lying on her side in shallow water.
The immediate cause of the sinking was found to be negligence by the assistant boatswain, who was asleep in his cabin when he should have been closing the bow-door.
Since the disaster, improvements have been made to the design of RORO vessels, with watertight ramps, indicators showing the position of the bow doors, and banning of undivided decks.
In the late 1970s, Townsend Thoresen commissioned the design and construction of three new identical ships for its Dover–Calais route for delivery from 1980.
To remain competitive with other ferry operators on the route, Townsend Thoresen required ships designed to permit fast loading and unloading and quick acceleration.
Loading of vehicles onto E deck and F deck was through a weathertight door at the bow and an open portal at the stern.
Vehicles could be loaded and unloaded onto E and G decks simultaneously using double-deck linkspans in use at Dover and Calais.
Owing to a cut-price ticket deal, the ferry was operating at full capacity, which made it more difficult to depart on time.
However, the assistant boatswain, Mark Stanley, had returned to his cabin for a short break after cleaning the car deck upon arrival, and was still asleep when the harbour-stations call sounded and the ship dropped her moorings.
It is believed that, under pressure to get to his harbour station on the bridge, he had left G deck with the bow doors open in the expectation that Stanley would arrive shortly.
Asked why he did not close the doors given there was no one else there to do it, he said it was not his duty.
Captain David Lewry assumed that the doors had been closed since he could not see them from the wheelhouse owing to the ship's design, and had no indicator lights in the wheelhouse.
The ship left her berth in Zeebrugge inner harbour at 18:05 (GMT) with a crew of 80 and carrying 459 passengers, 81 cars, three buses and 47 trucks.
Only a fortuitous turn to starboard in her last moments, and then capsizing on a sandbar, prevented the ship from sinking entirely in much deeper water.
Rescue helicopters were quickly dispatched, shortly followed by assistance from the Belgian Navy, who were undertaking an exercise in the area.
, the German captain of a nearby ferry, was commended by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and received a medal from King Baudouin of Belgium for his heroic efforts in rescuing passengers.
It found the sinking was caused by three main factors—Stanley's failure to close the bow doors, Sabel's failure to make sure the bow doors were closed, and Lewry leaving port without knowing whether the bow doors were closed.
Unlike other ships, which are subdivided into watertight compartments, the vehicle decks of RORO vessels are normally contiguous: any flooding on these decks would allow the water to flow the length of the ship.
The need to adjust the ship's bow trim to use the port facilities at Zeebrugge and failure to readjust before departure was another factor in the sinking.
However, tests by the Danish Maritime Institute after the accident found that once water began to enter the vehicle deck of a RORO, it was likely that the vessel would capsize within 30 minutes, while other tests showed that the lack of watertight subdivision (which were common on other vessels) allowed the weight of water to flow freely and increase the likelihood of capsizing.
When a vessel is under way, the movement under it creates low pressure, which has the effect of increasing the vessel's draught.
In deep water the effect is small but in shallow water it is greater, because as the water passes underneath it moves faster and causes the draught to increase.
After extensive tests, the investigators found that when the ship travelled at a speed of , the wave was enough to engulf the bow doors.
Seven people involved at the company were charged with gross negligence manslaughter, and the operating company, P&O European Ferries (Dover) Ltd, was charged with corporate manslaughter, but the case collapsed after Mr Justice Turner directed the jury to acquit the company and the five most senior individual defendants.
A salvage operation, conducted by Dutch company Smit-Tak Towage and Salvage (part of Smit International), was embarked upon almost immediately to refloat the ship.
The ship was towed to Zeebrugge, and then across the Western Scheldt to the yard of De Schelde in Flushing, where her fate was decided.
However, no buyer was found; she was sold to Compania Naviera SA of Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, for scrapping.
The hull began to disintegrate while off the coast of South Africa on 27 December 1987, and had to be towed into Port Elizabeth on 2 January 1988 to undergo temporary repairs to allow her to continue her voyage.
P&O quickly decided to re-brand the company as P&O European Ferries, repaint the fleet's red hulls in navy blue and remove the TT logo from the funnels.
The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea regulations were changed in 1990 to require of freeboard (in the case of RORO vessels, defined as the height between the vehicle deck and the water line) for all new ROROs, instead of the previous .
New International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations are in place that prohibit an open (undivided) deck of this length on a passenger RORO vessel.
Nicholas Ridley, a government minister at the time, was criticised for alluding to the accident (while speaking on another subject) on 10 March 1987.
In 2007 Belgian singer Jonathan Vandenbroeck, more commonly known as Milow, released a song to mark the 20th anniversary of the tragedy.
In the village of St Margaret's at Cliffe, there is a stained glass window dedicated to the three crewmen who died during the disaster, Bob Crone, Bryan Eades and Graham Evans.
The sinking of the ship is used as a standard example of the free surface effect in manuals of seamanship dealing with stability.
Australian businessman Maurice de Rohan, who lost his daughter and son-in-law in the tragedy, founded Disaster Action, a charity which assists people affected by similar events.
He served as Conservative Party Member of Parliament for Mid Kent from 1983 to 1997 and its successor constituency Faversham and Mid Kent from 1997 until he stepped down in 2001.
Doomsday is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly as the deadliest foe of Superman, as well as the Justice League.
Doomsday was conceived in 1991 during an annual brainstorming session with the editors and writers of Superman comics, in response to a concern by some writers that most of Superman's foes at this point either relied on technology or their intellect to outmaneuver Superman or had some natural advantage against him, wanting to create a new foe with great physical power to match him.
His creator imbued him with few feelings, mostly hate and desire for destruction, which led to him destroying worlds and eventually finding Earth, where he meets Superman.
In a cruel experiment involving evolution, intended to create the perfect living being, the alien scientist Bertron released a humanoid infant (born in vitro in a lab) onto the surface of the planet, where he was promptly killed by the harsh environment.
As it evolved, the child eventually became able to survive the high temperatures and searing atmosphere, only to be quickly slain by the vicious predators that inhabited the planet.
Over time, and without the assistance of Bertron's technology, he gained the ability to thrive on solar energy without the need for food or air, to return to life and adapt in order to overcome whatever had previously killed him.
The Ultimate escaped Krypton via a ship that regularly arrived to deliver supplies to Bertron (who had wanted little contact with the planet's natives) and went on a killing spree across several planets.
It began 245,000 years earlier on planet Bylan 5, where Apokoliptian prince Uxas (the future Darkseid) was about to wed a princess (in order to obtain that planet's chemical deposits for Apokolips's weapons factories).
Just as the Ultimate and Uxas were about to meet in combat, Uxas was forced to flee; Ultimate's rampage had caused the planet's atmosphere to become toxic, thereby rendering the chemicals worthless to Apokolips.
The warring Khundian clans united in order to build protective armor for a warrior named Kobald, who they hoped would survive long enough to force the Ultimate onto a rocket.
He continued to Oa, where a single Guardian fought him, wary of the others joining the fight, fearing the Ultimate would absorb their powers as he believed was happening to his powers, so as a last resort sacrificed himself in battle to defeat him.
The Radiant killed the Ultimate with a huge blast of energy (laying waste to over a fifth of his planet in the process).
In common Calatonian burial procedures, the Ultimate's seemingly dead body was suited and shackled to prevent his spirit from escaping into the afterlife, and he was shot into space because the murders he committed made him unworthy of burial on Calaton.
After freeing one arm and smashing his way out of his buried vault, The Ultimate went on a rampage in Midwestern America, where he first encountered the Justice League.
Most notable is the fact that the creature fought the whole time literally with one hand tied behind his back (due to his ancient burial cables), yet was still able to lay waste to all opposition and much of the surrounding area.
Five Leaguers, including Superman, combined their energy powers in an attempt to take Doomsday down, but succeeded only in destroying the last of his ancient burial cables, allowing him to use both hands.
During his rampage, Doomsday's interest was captured by billboards and television spots advertising violent wrestling competitions held in Metropolis, which appealed to his blood lust and thus enticed the otherwise mindless creature to head towards the city.
In counterattacking the creature, Superman quickly found that his opponent's power was a match for his own and was getting stronger, and he realized that if Doomsday actually reached Metropolis, the resulting battle could conceivably destroy the city and kill millions of innocent people.
In the space of a few issues of the Superman comic book series, Doomsday battled Superman in a titanic struggle, leading the hero to conclude that the creature would continue to attack relentlessly and endlessly, with no fear or compassion.
2) #75, wherein both Doomsday and Superman beat each other to death in front of the Daily Planet building in Metropolis.
Following the battle, four super-beings appeared and took up Superman's mantle, two of them declaring themselves to be the real Superman.
One was a half-man/half-machine who greatly resembled Superman with cybernetic implants where Superman had sustained the greatest amount of damage from Doomsday's blows.
After strapping the body to an asteroid with an electronic device attached, the cyborg flung Doomsday into deep space on a trajectory supposedly certain to never intersect any other planet.
The scavenger vessel happened to be on a route to Apokolips, the home of the now-powerful tyrant Darkseid, empowered by the fabled Omega Force long after his first encounter with Doomsday.
This was to be the setup for a final showdown between Doomsday and Superman, who had been uneasy about the possibility of Doomsday's resurrection.
With the help of his Justice League contacts, Superman procured a Mother Box, a sentient computer, after Darkseid's servant Desaad contacted Earth about a problem on Apokolips.
Unknown to Superman, Doomsday had faced and beaten Darkseid in single combat, even after withstanding the full effect of Darkseid's Omega Beams, and was laying waste to Apokolips.
Unfortunately, before Superman could deal with Doomsday, Desaad opened a boom tube to Calaton—the first world where Doomsday was successfully defeated—and sent Doomsday through, to what he believed was his defeat at the hands of the Radiant.
Doomsday was able to adapt, however, and overcome any opponent because of the process by which he was created, so, although the Radiant had defeated him once, he would not be able to defeat him again.
Superman, while knowing this — having been filled in on Doomsday's history by the time-manipulating Waverider — was obsessed with stopping Doomsday and followed him to Calaton.
He fought Doomsday again with the help of the Mother Box, but, despite it providing him with extra weapons such as an ultrasonic gun and an energy sword, Superman met with defeat as Doomsday's evolutions rendered him immune to Superman's attacks, such as his auditory channels being sealed by new bone growths or his knuckle-bones being able to shoot out of his body to 'pin' Superman in the air.
Eventually, with his left arm having suffered a compound fracture and most of his weapons lost, Superman was forced to use one of Waverider's time travel devices to leave Doomsday stranded at the End of Time, where Doomsday met the one force he could not overcome: entropy.
With Doomsday's strength of will too strong for Brainiac to permanently overwhelm him on his own, Brainiac instead opted to use a human host to genetically engineer a Doomsday clone without the mind of the original, while temporarily lodging in Doomsday's head to use the creature's strength until he would be forced out.
He chose to use Pete Ross and Lana Lang's newborn baby, born eight weeks premature and transported by Superman to a hospital.
Brainiac intercepted Superman and stole the baby to hurt his long-time foe, correctly deducing that it was the child of someone close to Superman and feeling that the baby's still-malleable DNA would make him ideal for the plan.
He then lured Doomsday to the moon, where he placed him in a kind of stasis with four Justice League teleporters.
Following these events, Doomsday was released by Manchester Black's Suicide Squad to battle Imperiex, a threat that was judged to be even greater than Doomsday himself.
Once freed, Doomsday slaughtered the Squad, then went on to battle Imperiex's numerous probes (his mind having been altered by Black to regard them as the threat he normally perceived Superman to be), which had thus far managed to seriously injure or kill most of Earth's heroes.
Doomsday tore through numerous probes with seemingly little effort, while aided by Superman—the only time the two enemies would come close to teaming up—before finally confronting Imperiex himself.
Doomsday's skeleton was retrieved and his flesh regrown by Lex Luthor (using Superman's Kryptonian DNA), who handed Doomsday over to Darkseid to repay Earth's war debt to Apokolips.
Despite being weakened by kryptonite exposure when Luthor attempted to exploit Doomsday's Kryptonian origins, Superman's heart was restarted by Black Lightning and he reached Doomsday just as the monster was struggling with the Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz).
Darkseid was not able to duplicate perfectly the creature in all its raw power but still uses the replicates as his foot soldiers.
They were defeated by a combination of heat vision and Batman's explosive batarangs during an attack on Paradise Island, while Darkseid kidnapped the newly arrived Kara Zor-El/Supergirl.
When Superman traveled to Apokolips to reclaim the life of Steel, Mortalla (Darkseid's wife) ordered his troops to release Doomsday in an attempt to help Darkseid.
Doomsday's short freedom was quickly halted by Steel in the Entropy Aegis, an armor with incredible power that had been built out of the remains of an Imperiex probe.
Exploring the full range of these new emotions, Doomsday made his way to Metropolis once more, though not in the destructive manner he had before.
Upon his arrival in Metropolis, Doomsday found Superman at the brink of death at the hands of Gog and intervened to help Superman in an ultimately futile fight against Gog's army.
In a new future, Doomsday was remembered as one of Earth's greatest heroes, who continued Superman's legacy by leading an army under his name against the army of Gog.
This new timeline ended when it was revealed that Superman was still alive, trapped and tortured with kryptonite for two centuries by Gog.
Gog offered to correct the past by returning Doomsday to an earlier point in the timeline but, in the process, Doomsday would lose his intelligence and humanity.
Returned to the present, an unconscious Doomsday was transported away by a younger version of Gog to an unknown location for an unknown purpose.
As he came into full view in front of Green Arrow, he was stopped by Kal-El and Kal-L, who made quick work of the villain as, for the first time since the first Crisis, the two Supermen acted as a team.
Doomsday, exhibiting an increased, broadened power set which seemed to adapt to each of his opponents, attacked, defeated and abducted Steel, the Cyborg Superman, the Eradicator, Supergirl and Superboy, before taking them to a cloaked satellite at the former location of New Krypton.
After locating the satellite, Superman attempted to free his allies, only for them all to discover the apparently still-inert body of Doomsday, as well as three separate clones or copies—each with a different power set.
Attempting to flee from the clones with Doomsday, the Superman Family discovered that their ship is now on course for Earth with the potential to trigger an extinction-level event if it were to strike.
Superman and his friends escaped the ship with the original Doomsday and stopped the ship from crashing on Earth, pushing it into Metropolis's bay.
The clones spread across the world, wreaking havoc, while Doomslayer's second plan was to entice the Doomsdays to reach the Earth's core so that he could expand the universe inside the ship's tower and destroy the planet from within, thus erasing all knowledge of Doomsday from the universe.
In the final battle, a weakened Superman made contact with the ship's artificial intelligence before it reached Earth's core, hoping to have the tower teleport away.
Meanwhile, the Doomsday clones were defeated by Earth's heroes and sent back into the pit in which the tower was located.
Eradicator arrived and defended Superman, now very weak, from Doomslayer, quickly throwing Superman out of the tower and allowing himself to be trapped with Doomslayer before the tower teleports away.
Colonel Zod faced him wearing an ancient armor of Krypton's warrior founders but their battle caused the death of thousands of Kryptonians.
Years later, General Zod, now also imprisoned in the Phantom Zone, communicated with the child Kara Zor-El, telling her how he admired the creature because it destroyed everything, an attribute he seeks in order for his people to be strong as years of complacency have made the Kryptonians weak.
Zor-El narrates a prophecy in which the last knight of the House of El will travel to a distant planet after the destruction of Krypton.The last knight will be found by Doomsday later and will battle him to save his people, but sacrificing his own life in doing so.
After describing her attacker to Superman, both travel to the Fortress of Solitude where Diana identifies Doomsday on a Phantom Zone viewing device.
Months later, the creature once again escapes the Phantom Zone to wreak havoc across the globe, changing as it goes into an even deadlier form; now, every living thing in its vicinity dies, and even physical structures crumble.
Superman, Wonder Woman, Steel and the Justice League struggle to defeat it, even calling on the aid of Lex Luthor; in the end, Superman drags Doomsday's body to the planet Venus and incinerates it.
Finally realizing he has no choice, Superman kills Doomsday, slicing the monster in half and, as it disintegrates, inhaling its ash-like remains to contain them within his indestructible body.
However, soon after, he starts to change; mentally showing signs of exacerbated stress and aggression, and gradually physically as well, resembling Doomsday itself more and more.
It is revealed Doomsday was released by the Phantom King (Xa-Du), on instigation of Brainiac; the latter orchestrated it to get rid of Superman as he prepared to assimilate the consciousnesses of all human beings in the world.
Superman managed to take control of the raging power and fury of Doomsday for long enough, however, to attack and defeat Brainiac's gigantic mother ship, dragging it into a black hole—ridding himself of the Doomsday infection in the process.
As Superman and Lex attempt to fight the creature, Superman is troubled to realize that this Doomsday operates at a strength level similar to the creature he faced for the first time in his world, but also has some degree of strategic planning, attacking passing trains and civilians to distract Superman and Luthor.
As Wonder Woman appears to assist, Doomsday departs, but Superman and Wonder Woman are able to intercept him before he reaches Superman's wife, Lois, and their son Jon.
While Wonder Woman takes Lois and Jon to the JLA Watchtower for safety, Superman is confused when an unknown group appears and attacks Doomsday, but they are swiftly defeated.
Lois and Jon plea to Diana to help Clark when he struggles in containing him and she soon joins the battle again.
This allows Clark time to use the Phantom Zone projector to trap his foe, but he is unaware that the unknown group led by Mr. Oz intercepted the Phantom Zone beam and have captured Doomsday for their own unknown purposes.
Through cloning technology, the infant continually returned to life and evolved, becoming resistant or immune to whatever killed him before, ultimately permanently acquiring the capability to regenerate and evolve without technology.
After the Radiant killed him the first time they fought, Doomsday grew immune to the Radiant's energy-projection and even managed to withstand Darkseid's full Omega-Effect.
During his outwardly undamaged death at Superman's hands, he only needed some days to recover, but when Imperiex reduced him to a skeleton, it took months.
After being killed by the Radiant and subsequently undergoing the impact of the casket on Earth, his body was sealed underground in total darkness.
As a result of his engineering, Doomsday did not need to eat, drink, breathe, or sleep, and his body was almost solid mass with no internal organs.
Superman once used a sound gun to greatly discomfort him, but Doomsday's auditory canals closed up, making him impervious to Superman's weapon.
Waverider once paralyzed Doomsday with energy while seeking to perceive Doomsday's presence, but the second attempt backfired as Doomsday triggered a feedback burst that briefly disrupted Waverider.
In essence, Doomsday gradually became more invulnerable if not injured beyond his ability to recover, which has so far been undefined.
He managed to cancel out the pure-energy Radiant by slamming into him while generating a dark counter-energy; to greatly extend his claws and develop a poison to strike Superman in flight and reel him in; to breathe flames against the fire-sensitive Martian Manhunter, and apparently neutralize his defensive phase-shifting power.
Doomsday's skeleton protruded through his skin in razor-sharp spurs, which provided protection to his few vital organs (brain, eyes and nervous system), and acted as claw-like weapons on his hands, elbows, and knees.
Doomsday was immensely resistant to heat, cold, and conventional damage, allowing him to survive in the most inhospitable worlds, or in the vacuum of space.
Doomsday possessed enormous superhuman strength that, variable as it was, at one point enabled him to effortlessly stand his ground against the entire Justice League, including Superman and Orion.
He was able to break Superman's left arm with limited effort, as well as outmatch and beat Darkseid unconscious in combat.
However, his strength has limits: the immensely strong Calatonian alloy cables, in which he was entombed, continued to partially restrain him during his initial rampage on Earth, with the last of the cables only being destroyed when the Justice League unleashed a full-power assault to try and stop him.
His speed and agility were vastly disproportionate to his bulky stature, and he was able to match Superman in this regard, once even managing to grab the Flash while the hero was in motion.
This was attributed to intelligence that he developed, causing him to fear the death that awaited him if he lost, but did not explain how a simple minor concussion could incapacitate his healing factor for the time he remained unconscious.
However, he apparently lost his intelligence when he was sent back in time, reverting him to his original state of fearlessness.
During his confrontation with Steel, Doomsday spontaneously developed the power of flight, and the ability to cover his body with metallic armor, capable of resisting even Steel's paralyzing nanites.
In a later confrontation with the Outsiders, as he sought to confront the Eradicator, he demonstrated the ability to absorb energy from Looker and Halo's attacks and send it back to them in a massive burst manipulating raw power like the Eradicator.
During his battle with the Cyborg-Superman, the Cyborg tore through portions of Doomsday's body, which were quickly replaced with bionic parts of his own, giving itself vast technopathy.
And again, when confronting Superboy, the monster showcased a blue glow in its eyes, indicating Tactile Telekinesis power even greater than his own.
However, it has since been revealed that these Doomsdays were actually clones of the original, each specifically designed to take out Steel, Henshaw, Eradicator and Superboy, putting them at a disadvantage when pitted against the other Supermen.
Growing as well as gaining in biomass and power over the course of its own development cycle, it was soon revealed that when it killed Superman post reboot, it was only in its larval stage.
While undergoing its adolescence phase, the monster created a giant clump of its own biomass as a makeshift cocoon, which steadily built up its physiological structure to its current state by feeding on the natural wildlife around it.
This was made possible due to its physical strength being vastly augmented to the point it could breach the dimensional barrier through physical force alone.
He'd grown so powerful in such a short amount of time that the creature could overpower the demigoddess Diana of Themyscira in a straight forward battle with ease, going so far as to break both of her arms.
Doomsday was still in the stages of his evolution, to help it along he developed a form of death aura which sapped the life out of anything and everything around him within a couple hundred yards.
Growing more and more powerful the more he killed and the more lifeforce he consumed, an extension of this power was a toxic spore cloud he emitted from his own body which expedited the leeching process.
Doomsday's deadly miasma had the effect of making everything around him wither and die at an accelerated rate; such as sand glossing over into black onyx, sentient life burst' into flames several meters away, even buildings spontaneously dissolving at a molecular level upon exposure to his poisonous fugue.
Even a solar powered Kryptonian couldn't stand to be in his presence for more than a few minutes at a time.
Moreover, those who kill him become a receptacle for his essential self, taking on his more vicious and bloodthirsty characteristics as well as his powers.
It is bounded on the south and east by the Danube, and in the North by the Buzău and Călmăţui rivers, both tributaries of the Danube.
Due to lack of forest in the past, the Baragan was an important route for the migratory peoples who roamed the area that is south-eastern Romania today.
The Baragan Steppe was traditionally used as pasture by the shepherds in the Carpathians (including Transylvania) during transhumance, but was converted to arable land in the second half of the 19th century.
The Bărăgan Plain has a harsh climate with hot and dry summers and includes the location where the highest-ever temperature in Romania was recorded (44.5 °C, at Ion Sion).
No trees grow here, and it's so far from one water well to the next that you can die of thirst half-way.
The inhabitant of Bărăgan constantly hopes that one day someone will come and teach him how to live better in the Bărăgan, in this dreadful wilderness where water is hidden in the deepest bowels of the earth and where nothing grows except thistles.
It's the only thing the Bărăgan will tolerate, except for the sheep who lust after these thistles and devour them greedily.
It reached number 9 on UK record charts, but sold poorly in the US, peaking at number 41—the band's lowest chart placement to that point.
Early reviews for the album in the US ranged from negative to tentatively positive, but the reception from music journalists in the UK was very favorable.
Wilson decided to construct his own personal home recording studio as a measure against suspected tape leaks and to eliminate the inconvenience of booking studio time.
On April 26, 1967, Carl was arrested for refusing his draft into the US Army, with the case lasting several years in the courts.
From May 2 to 20, the touring group embarked on a run of shows in Europe while Brian continued scheduling recording sessions at professional studios, some of which were cancelled on short notice.
Through the method of tape splicing, each fragment could then be assembled into a linear sequence, allowing any number of larger structures and divergent moods to be produced at a later time.
The core instrumentation consisted of organ, honky-tonk piano, and electronic bass played by the Beach Boys themselves, rather than the session musicians employed in much of their previous work.
Brian became obsessed with a three-tiered Baldwin organ during the album's recording, resulting in a more minimalist approach to the new arrangements.
The Beach Boys recorded using what was predominantly radio broadcasting equipment, which lacked many of the technical elements and effects found in an established studio.
Due to the sporadic nature at which Brian decided to produce the record at his home, there was little time to fully outfit the Bel Air residence as a properly-equipped recording studio.
This led to unconventional ways of achieving particular sounds at the home, such as a replacement for what would be achieved by an echo chamber.
Before the album's commercial release, the Beach Boys were involved in the conception of the Monterey Pop Festival, which was held in June 1967.
The Capitol lawsuit was eventually settled out of court, with the Beach Boys receiving the royalties owed in exchange for Brother Records to distribute through Capitol Records, along with a guarantee that the band produce at least one million dollars profit.
Critics and fans were generally underwhelmed by the album and controversy involving whether the band was to be taken as a serious rock group ensued into the next year.
By 1969, Wilson was increasingly known for his reclusiveness, and could be found managing a health food store in West Hollywood called the Radiant Radish.
Much of the group's recordings from 1967 to 1970 continued the pattern of sparse instrumentation, a more relaxed ensemble, and a seeming inattention to production quality.
In the 2000s, it began to appear on various lists of must-hear albums, and is now considered an important work in Brian's catalog.
The Sino-Vietnamese War (; ), also known as the Third Indochina War, was a brief border war fought between the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in early 1979.
China launched an offensive in response to Vietnam's invasion and occupation of Cambodia in 1978 (which ended the rule of the Chinese-backed Khmer Rouge).
On March 6, 1979, China declared that the gate to Hanoi was open and that their punitive mission had been achieved.
As Vietnamese troops remained in Cambodia until 1989, one can say that China remained unsuccessful in its goal of dissuading Vietnam from involvement in Cambodia.
Although unable to deter Vietnam from Cambodia, China succeeded in demonstrating that its Cold War communist adversary, the Soviet Union, was unable to protect its Vietnamese ally.
Following worsening relations between the Soviet Union and China as a result of the Sino-Soviet split of 1956–1966, as many as 1.5 million Chinese troops were stationed along the Sino-Soviet border in preparation for a full-scale war against the Soviets.
The Sino-Vietnamese War () is also known as the Third Indochina War, in order to distinguish it from the First Indochina War, and the Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War.
Just as the First Indochina War—which emerged from the complex situation following World War II—and the Vietnam War both exploded from the unresolved aftermath of political relations, the Third Indochina War again followed the unresolved problems of the earlier wars.
The major allied victors of World War II, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union, all agreed that the area belonged to the French.
As the French did not have the means to immediately retake Indochina, the major powers agreed that the British would take control and troops would occupy the south while Nationalist Chinese forces would move in from the north.
The British landed in the south rearming the small body of interned French forces as well as parts of the surrendered Japanese forces to aid in retaking southern Vietnam, as there were not enough British troops immediately available.
On the urging of the Soviet Union, Ho Chi Minh initially attempted to negotiate with the French, who were slowly reestablishing their control across the area, although still under British control until hostilities had ceased.
The French landed in Hanoi by March 1946 and in November of that year they ousted the Viet Minh from the city.
By the 1880s, the French had expanded their sphere of influence in Southeast Asia to include all of Vietnam, and by 1893 both Laos and Cambodia had become French colonies as well.
The European war heightened revolutionary sentiment in Southeast Asia, and the independence-minded population rallied around revolutionaries such as Hồ Chí Minh and others, including royalists.
Prior to their attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese occupied French Indochina, but left civil administration to the Vichy French administration.
On 9 March 1945, fearing that the Vichy French were about to switch sides to support the Allies, the Japanese overthrew the Vichy administration and forces taking control of Indochina and establishing their own puppet administration, the Empire of Vietnam.
When the Việt Minh hastily sought to establish the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the remaining French acquiesced while waiting for the return of French forces to the region.
The Kuomintang supported French restoration, but Viet Minh efforts towards independence were helped by Chinese communists under the Soviet Union's power.
The Soviets nonetheless remained less supportive than China until after the Sino-Soviet split, during the time of Leonid Brezhnev when the Soviet Union became communist Vietnam's key ally.
Finally, on July 20, 1954, the Geneva Conference resulted in a political settlement to reunite the country, signed with support from China, Russia, and Western European powers.
During the initial stages of the First Indochina War with France, the recently founded communist People's Republic of China continued the Russian mission to expand communism.
Mao Zedong believed the new Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev had made a serious error in his Secret Speech denouncing Stalin in February 1956, and criticized the Soviet Union's interpretation of Marxism–Leninism, in particular Khrushchev's support for peaceful co-existence and its interpretation.
From here, Chinese communists played a decreasing role in helping their former allies because the Viet Minh did not support China against the Soviets.
Following the death of Mao in September 1976, the overthrow of the Gang of Four and the ascent of Deng Xiaoping, the Chinese leadership would revise its own positions to become compatible with market aspects, denounce the Cultural Revolution, and collaborate with the US against the Soviet Union.
As France withdrew from a provisionally divided Vietnam in late 1954, the United States increasingly stepped in to support the South Vietnamese leaders due to the Domino theory, which theorized that if one nation would turn to communism, the surrounding nations were likely to fall like dominoes and become communist as well.
The Soviet Union and North Vietnam became important allies together due to the fact that if South Vietnam was successfully taken over by North Vietnam, then communism in the far east would find its strategic position bolstered.
In the eyes of the People's Republic of China, the growing Soviet-Vietnamese relationship was a disturbing development; they feared an encirclement by the less-than-hospitable Soviet sphere of influence.
The United States and the Soviet Union could not agree on a plan for a proposed 1956 election meant to unify the partitioned Vietnam.
Instead, the South held a separate election that was widely considered fraudulent, leading to continued internal conflict with communist factions led by the Viet Cong that intensified through the late 1950s.
With supplies and support from the Soviet Union, North Vietnamese forces became directly involved in the ongoing guerrilla war by 1959 and openly invaded the South in 1964.
The U.S. had supported French forces in the First Indochina War, sent supplies and military advisers to South Vietnam throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, and eventually took over most of the fighting against both North Vietnam and the Viet Cong by the mid-1960s.
Due to a lack of clear military success and facing increasingly strident opposition to the war in the U.S., American forces began a slow withdrawal in 1969 while attempting to bolster South Vietnam's military so that they could take over the fighting.
In accordance with the Paris Peace Accords by 29 March 1973 all U.S. combat forces had left South Vietnam, however North Vietnamese combat forces were allowed to remain in place.
The People's Republic of China started talks with the United States in the early 1970s, culminating in high level meetings with Henry Kissinger and later Richard Nixon.
Although the Vietnamese Communists and the Khmer Rouge had previously cooperated, the relationship deteriorated when Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot came to power and established Democratic Kampuchea on 17 April 1975.
People's Republic of China, in the other hand, also supported the Maoist Khmer Rouge against Lon Nol's regime during the Cambodian Civil War and its subsequent take-over of Cambodia.
After numerous clashes along the border between Vietnam and Cambodia, and with encouragement from Khmer Rouge defectors fleeing a purge of the Eastern Zone, Vietnam invaded Cambodia on 25 December 1978.
China supported the ethnic minority United Front for the Liberation of Oppressed Races against Vietnam during the FULRO insurgency against Vietnam.
China received so many defectors from the ethnic minorities in Vietnam that it raised shock among Vietnam which had to launch a new effort re-assert dominance over the ethnic minorities and classify them.
China, now under Deng Xiaoping, was starting the Chinese economic reform and opening trade with the West, in turn, growing increasingly defiant of the Soviet Union.
On February 15, the first day that China could have officially announced the termination of the 1950 Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance, Deng Xiaoping declared that China planned to conduct a limited attack on Vietnam.
The reason cited for the attack was to support China's ally, the Khmer Rouge of Cambodia, in addition to the mistreatment of Vietnam's ethnic Chinese minority and the Vietnamese occupation of the Spratly Islands which were claimed by China.
To prevent Soviet intervention on Vietnam's behalf, Deng warned Moscow the next day that China was prepared for a full-scale war against the Soviet Union; in preparation for this conflict, China put all of its troops along the Sino-Soviet border on an emergency war alert, set up a new military command in Xinjiang, and even evacuated an estimated 300,000 civilians from the Sino-Soviet border.
In addition, the bulk of China's active forces (as many as one-and-a-half million troops) were stationed along China's border with the Soviet Union.
Although the People's Liberation Army vastly outnumbered the Vietnamese forces, the Soviet-Vietnamese alliance compelled the Chinese to deploy the majority of their forces along China's northern frontier with the Soviet Union (as well as, to a lesser extent, Soviet-allied Mongolia) as a deterrent to Soviet intervention.
The Chinese force that engaged the Vietnamese consisted of units from the Kunming Military Region, Chengdu Military Region, Wuhan Military Region and Guangzhou Military Region, but commanded by the headquarters of Kunming Military Region on the western front and Guangzhou Military Region in the eastern front.
Some troops engaged in this war, especially engineering units, railway corps, logistical units and antiaircraft units, had been assigned to assist North Vietnam in its war against South Vietnam just a few years earlier during the Vietnam War.
Contrary to the belief that over 600,000 Chinese troops entered North Vietnam, the actual number was only 200,000, while 600,000 Chinese troops were mobilized, of which 400,000 were deployed away from their original bases during the one-month conflict.
In his state visit to the U.S. in 1979, the Chinese paramount leader Deng Xiaoping was presented with this information and asked to confirm the numbers.
The Vietnamese government claimed they only had a force of about 70,000 including several army regular divisions in its northern area.
The Vietnam People's Air Force did not participate in the combat directly, instead they provided support to the ground troops, transported troops from Cambodia to northern Vietnam as well as performed reconnaissance purposes.
According to Vietnam, since January 1979 Chinese forces performed numerous reconnaissance activities across the border and made 230 violations into Vietnamese land.
To prepare for a possible Chinese invasion, the Central Military Committee of the Communist Party ordered all armed forces across the border to be on stand-by mode.
On 17 February 1979, a People's Liberation Army (PLA) force of about 200,000 troops supported by 200 Type 59, Type 62, and Type 63 tanks entered northern Vietnam in the PLA's first major combat operation since the end of the Korean War in 1953.
From 18 February to 25 February, the 327th Infantry Division of Military District 3 and the 337th Infantry Division of Military District 4 were deployed to join Military District 1 for the defense of northwestern region.
The 372nd Air Division in central Vietnam as well as the 917th, 935th and 937th Air Regiments in southern Vietnam were quickly deployed to the north.
Moscow also provided a total of 400 tanks and armored personnel carriers (APCs), 500 mortar artillery and air defense artillery, 50 BM-21 rocket launchers, 400 portable surface-to-air missiles, 800 anti-tank missiles and 20 jet fighters.
During the Sino-Vietnamese War, the Soviet Union deployed troops at the Sino-Soviet border and Mongolian-Chinese border as an act of showing support to Vietnam, as well as tying up Chinese troops.
While the Soviet Union deployed naval vessels and supplied materiel to Vietnam, they felt that there was simply no way that they could directly support Vietnam against China; the distances were too great to be an effective ally, and any sort of reinforcements would have to cross territory controlled by China or U.S. allies.
Another reason why Moscow did not intervene was because Beijing had promised both Moscow and Washington that the invasion was only a limited war, and that Chinese forces would withdraw after a short incursion.
Deng Xiaoping, because Vietnam's anti-air capabilities were among the best in the world at the time and in order to reassure Moscow it was conducting a limited war, ordered the Chinese navy and air force to remain out of the war; only limited support was provided by the air force.
The PLA quickly advanced about 15–20 kilometres into Vietnam, with fighting mainly occurring in the provinces of Cao Bằng, Lào Cai and Lạng Sơn.
The initial PLA attack soon lost its momentum and a new attack wave was sent in with eight PLA divisions joining the battle.
After capturing the northern heights above Lạng Sơn, the PLA surrounded and paused in front of the city in order to lure the VPA into reinforcing it with units from Cambodia.
This was the main strategic ploy in the Chinese war plan as Deng did not want to risk escalating tensions with the Soviet Union.
On the way back to the Chinese border, the PLA destroyed all local infrastructure and housing and looted all useful equipment and resources (including livestock), severely weakening the economy of Vietnam's northernmost provinces.
Both sides declared victory with China claiming to have crushed the Vietnamese resistance and Vietnam claiming to have repelled the invasion using mostly border militias.
Henry J. Kenny, a research scientist for US Center for Naval Analyses, notes that most Western writers agree that Vietnam outperformed the PLA on the battlefield.
China and Vietnam each lost thousands of troops, and China lost 3.45 billion yuan in overhead, which delayed completion of their 1979–80 economic plan.
In response to the defection of Hoàng Văn Hoan, a purge was launched to cleanse the Communist Party of Vietnam of pro-Chinese elements and persons who had surrendered to the advancing Chinese troops during the war.
Although Vietnam continued to occupy Cambodia, China successfully mobilized international opposition to the occupation, rallying such leaders as Cambodia's deposed king Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodian anticommunist leader Son Sann, and high-ranking members of the Khmer Rouge to deny the pro-Vietnamese Cambodian People's Party in Cambodia diplomatic recognition beyond the Soviet bloc.
In contrast, Vietnam's decreasing prestige in the region led it to be more dependent on the Soviet Union, to which it leased a naval base at Cam Ranh Bay.
Vietnamese sources claimed the PLA had suffered 62,500 total casualties, including 550 military vehicles, and 115 artillery pieces destroyed; while Chinese democracy activist Wei Jingsheng told western media in 1980 that the Chinese troops had suffered 9,000 dead and about 10,000 wounded during the war.
The official Nhân Dân newspaper claimed that Vietnam suffered more than 10,000 civilian deaths during the Chinese invasion and earlier on 17 May 1979, reported statistics on heavy losses of industry and agricultural properties.
The 238 Chinese soldiers surrendered after getting separated from their main unit during the withdrawal from Vietnam and became surrounded by Vietnamese.
The Chinese prisoners reported that they were subjected to torturous and inhumane treatment, such as being blindfolded and having their bodies bound and restrained with metal wire.
Border skirmishes continued throughout the 1980s, including a significant skirmish in April 1984 and a naval battle over the Spratly Islands in 1988 known as the Johnson South Reef Skirmish.
Both nations planned the normalization of their relations in a secret summit in Chengdu in September 1990, and officially normalized ties in November 1991.
There was an adjustment of the land border, resulting in Vietnam giving China part of its land which was lost during the battle, including the Ai Nam Quan Gate which served as the traditional border marker and entry point between Vietnam and China, which caused widespread frustration within Vietnam.
In January 2009 the border demarcation was officially completed, signed by Deputy Foreign Minister Vu Dung on the Vietnamese side and his Chinese counterpart, Wu Dawei, on the Chinese side.
Both the Paracel (called Hoàng Sa in Vietnam, Xīshā in China) and Spratly (Trường Sa in Vietnam, Nansha in China) islands remain a point of contention.
The Third Indochina War was a series of interconnected armed conflicts, mainly among the various communist factions over strategic influence in Indochina after peace between the United States and North Vietnam had been concluded in January 1973.
In 1975 initial military engagements arose between communist Vietnam and the Cambodian Khmer Rouge regime, which resulted in the Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia for over a decade.
China had hardly opposed Vietnam's active role in the suppression of the anti-communist Insurgency in Laos, however it strongly objected to the invasion of Cambodia.
Chinese armed forces launched a punitive operation in February 1979 and attacked Vietnam's northern provinces, determined to contain Soviet/Vietnamese influence and prevent territorial gains in the region.
In order to acquire full control over Cambodia the People's Army of Vietnam needed to dislodge the remaining Khmer Rouge leaders and units, which had retreated to the remote areas along the Thai-Cambodian border.
His denouncement of Stalin and his purges, the introduction of more moderate communist policies and foreign policy of peaceful coexistence with the West angered China's leadership.
Mao Zedong had been following a strict Stalinistic course, that insisted on the cult of personality as a unifying force of the nation.
Disagreements over technical assistance for developing China's nuclear weapons and basic economic policies further alienated the Soviets and the Chinese as opposing forces of communist influence across the globe.
As decolonization movements began to pick up speed in the 1960s and many such countries descended into violence, both of the communist powers competed for political control of the various nations or competing factions in ongoing civil war fights.
From 1958 on Northern and Southern Vietnamese combat troops also began to infiltrate the remote jungles of eastern Cambodia where they continued the Ho Chi Minh trail.
After the Fall of Saigon and Phnom Penh in April and May 1975 and the subsequent communist takeover in Laos five months later, Indochina was dominated by communist regimes.
Armed border clashes between Cambodia and Vietnam soon flared up and escalated as Khmer Rouge forces advanced deep into Vietnamese territory, raided villages and killing hundreds of civilians.
Vietnam counter attacked and in December 1978, NVA troops invaded Cambodia, reaching Phnom Penh in January 1979 and arriving at the Thai border in spring 1979.
However, as China, the U.S. and the majority of the international community opposed the Vietnamese campaign, the remaining Khmer Rouge managed to permanently settle in the Thai-Cambodian border region.
In a United Nations Security Council meeting, seven non-aligned members drafted a resolution for a ceasefire and Vietnamese withdrawal which failed due to opposition from the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia.
Thailand tolerated the presence of the Khmer Rouge on its soil as they helped to contain the Vietnamese and Thai domestic guerillas.
Over the course of the following decade, the Khmer Rouge received considerable support from Vietnam's enemies and served as a bargaining tool in the Realpolitik of Thailand, China, the ASEAN and the U.S.
The fact that Vietnamese forces continued to stay in Cambodia for another decade implies that China's campaign was a strategic failure.
On the other hand, the conflict had proven that China had succeeded in preventing effective Soviet support for its Vietnamese ally.
As forces remained mobilized, the Vietnamese Army and the Chinese People's Liberation Army engaged in another decade-long series of border disputes and naval clashes that lasted until 1990.
Prolonged hostile relations with China had been recognized as to be detrimental to economic reforms, national security and the regime's survival.
Astor moved with his family to England in 1891, became a British subject in 1899, and was made a peer as Baron Astor in 1916 and Viscount Astor in 1917 for his contributions to war charities.
He worked for a short time in law practice and in the management of his father's estate of financial and real estate holdings.
After some time practicing law, Astor thought he had found his true calling and an opportunity to make a name for himself outside of his family's fortune by entering the political realm.
He was elected as a member of the New York State Assembly (New York Co., 11th D.) in 1878; and of the New York State Senate (10th D.) in 1880 and 1881.
Astor was likely supported by the boss of the New York State Republican machine, Roscoe Conkling, with whom his family was involved.
Upon the death of his father in February 1890, Astor inherited a personal fortune that made him the richest man in America.
In 1890, he initiated construction of the luxurious Waldorf Hotel in New York, being built on the site of his former residence.
To disappear from public view, in the summer of 1892, Astor faked his own death by having his staff report to American reporters that he had died, apparently from pneumonia.
The estate of over 3,500 acres had at its centre a castle built in 1270 where Anne Boleyn lived as a child.
In 1906 he gave his eldest son Waldorf Astor and his new daughter-in-law, Nancy Witcher Langhorne, the Cliveden estate as a wedding present.
In 1908, building on his success with the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York he financed The Waldorf Hotel in London's West End.
His gifts to the war charities included $125,000 to the Prince of Wales's National Relief Fund; a similar amount to Princess Louise's Officers' Families Fund; $200,000 to the British Red Cross Society; $25,000 to Queen Mary's Employment Committee; and a similar sum to the Lord Mayor's National Bands Fund.
In recognition of his work for charity, on January 1, 1916, he was offered and accepted a peerage of the United Kingdom under the title of Baron Astor of Hever Castle in the County of Kent.
On October 18, 1919 he unexpectedly died of heart failure in the lavatory of his seaside house at Brighton in Sussex.
Peter Murray Taylor, Baron Taylor of Gosforth, (1 May 1930 – 28 April 1997) was the Lord Chief Justice of England from 1992 until 1996.
Taylor came from a Yiddish-speaking Jewish family who had emigrated to England from Marijampolė and Vilnius, Lithuania; the original name of the family was Teiger or Teicher.
His father Louis was born in Leeds to where the family had emigrated, and became a doctor; his mother came from the rabbinical Palterovich family who had emigrated to Leeds in 1895 (Taylor was therefore a distant cousin of actress Gwyneth Paltrow).
By the time of his birth, the family were living in Newcastle upon Tyne; Taylor passed the 11-plus and attended the Royal Grammar School.
During World War II, Newcastle was subject to bombing raids and Taylor was evacuated to Penrith where he lived in a house without either running water or mains electricity.
He conducted mainly criminal cases, often for the prosecution, and at a very early age 'took silk' to become a Queen's Counsel in 1967; he occasionally appeared for the defence and on one such occasion, the reactionary judge Melford Stevenson deemed him a threat to the administration of justice.
Taylor attracted attention from 1973 when he appeared for the prosecution in several cases connected to the corrupt architect John Poulson, including that of Poulson himself.
In 1974, Taylor successfully prosecuted Judith Ward who was convicted of a series of IRA bombings (many years later, the conviction was found to have been a miscarriage of justice, mostly through Ward's delusions of her own guilt).
He also prosecuted Stefan Kiszko in July 1976, in what would become one of the most notorious miscarriages of justice in British Law in the 20th Century.
Taylor also took on John Ryman, a fellow Barrister and Labour Member of Parliament for Blyth Valley who was found to have submitted fraudulent election expenses.
The most high-profile trial in which Taylor appeared took place in 1979 and the defendant was former Liberal Party leader Jeremy Thorpe who was accused of conspiracy to murder.
Although all involved were acquitted, most observers put this down to the summing-up of the trial judge and the malpractice of the prosecution witnesses; Taylor won praise for his handling of the case.
His opening address is frequently quoted; Taylor's style of oratory was deliberately concise and straightforward but he had a talent for a punning literary allusion.
Taylor had been first appointed a recorder (part-time judge) in 1969 and served as a recorder in the Crown Court from 1972.
After serving as Chairman of the Bar Council for 1979-80, he was made a full High Court judge in the Queen's Bench Division, receiving the customary knighthood.
In 1983 Taylor held that a Pakistani man who had pronounced Talaq and notified the authorities in Pakistan had not divorced his wife according to English law.
The next year, he held that Nottinghamshire police had acted negligently in firing CS gas into a house knowing there would be a fire risk and not having fire engines on standby.
In 1987 he stated that he did not accept that a judge could not inquire further when a minister raised a justification of 'national security' for their actions (the case concerned the telephone tapping of Joan Ruddock).
There he became known to the public on 17 April 1989 when he was commissioned by the government to undertake an inquiry into the Hillsborough disaster two days previously.
The Taylor Report he produced led to the introduction of all-seater stadium at all top English football clubs, and the removal of fences around fans sitting areas.
Taylor's recommendations, published on 29 January 1990, stated that all First and Second Division (which became the Premier League and Division One in 1992) stadiums had to be all-seater by August 1994, and that the rest of the Football League should follow suit by August 1999.
However, the Football Association later ruled that the smaller clubs could retain standing accommodation provided that their stadiums met safety requirements, while clubs promoted to the upper reaches of the league would be allowed standing accommodation at their stadiums for up to three years after promotion.
This was partly because a backlog had grown up but also because of the much increased concern over a series of cases going back many years which were being proved to be miscarriages of justice.
Taylor differed from his immediate predecessor in considering this an immensely serious issue, and knew from his own experience of prosecuting Judith Ward and Stefan Kiszko that many more cases could come to light.
This led him to strong support of the full disclosure of prosecution evidence (he also supported moves towards disclosure of defence evidence).
Taylor was with the grain of public opinion in supporting stronger sentences on drunk drivers who killed, and he also extended the range of defences available to domestic violence victims who fought back.
Because of his unusual openness, his view was often heard on matters of political controversy: he could live with the change to allow juries to draw adverse inferences from defendant's silence when interviewed, but opposed moves restricting the right of an accused to elect trial by jury.
In 1859 he was elected to the House of Assembly as a member of the Conservative Party of Newfoundland and became a supporter of Canadian confederation.
He lost his seat in the 1869 election on confederation but returned in 1874 and served as Solicitor-General in the government of Sir Frederick Carter before becoming Premier in 1878 when he succeeded Carter as leader of the Conservatives.
While serving as Solicitor-General, Whiteway was one of the counsel representing the British Government before the Halifax Fisheries Commission, which adjudicated a dispute over north Atlantic fishing rights between the British Empire and the United States.
Whiteway's major policy ambition was the construction of the transinsular railway spanning the island which was begun in 1881 and which he believed would spur economic development of the colony.
In 1885 his Conservative party was destroyed by sectarian riots at Harbour Grace which resulted in several Protestants leaving the Whiteway government in protest over its conciliatory attitude towards Catholics.
In Opposition Whiteway founded a new Liberal Party of Newfoundland which won office in 1889 returning Whiteway as Premier on the issue of the railway.
On April 3, 1894, while the trials were still underway, Whiteway asked Governor of Newfoundland Sir Herbert Murray to dissolve the House of Assembly for a new election.
The Governor refused and asked the Tory leader, Augustus F. Goodridge to form a government despite the fact that the Tories had only 12 seats to 21 for the Liberals.
As Liberal seats were declared vacant due to guilty verdicts the standings in the House at the end of the process in August were 8 Conservatives, 9 Liberals and 19 vacancies.
Whiteway himself had been found guilty, his seat declared vacant, and under the provisions of the law he was barred from seeking election to the House of Assembly or sitting in government.
The Governor enabled Goodridge to remain in office by continually proroguing the House in order to prevent the government's fall through a Motion of No Confidence.
By-elections were held throughout the fall in which the Liberals retained the seats they had been disbarred from, losing just two, while picking up two from the Conservatives in return.
In the face of Newfoundland's financial crisis following the bank crash, Whiteway's government began a new round of negotiations with Canada to bring Newfoundland into confederation but the discussions were unsuccessful.
William Vallance Whiteway, Q.C., married as his second wife, October 22, 1872, Catherine Anne Davies, daughter of W. H. Davies, of Pictou, Nova Scotia.
Waldorf Astor, 2nd Viscount Astor, DL (19 May 1879 – 30 September 1952) was an American-born English politician and newspaper proprietor.
There Waldorf attended Eton College and New College, Oxford, where he did not distinguish himself academically but excelled as a sportsman, earning accolades for both fencing and polo.
For the Oxford University Polo Club he played side on side with Devereux Milburn in successive Varsity Matches, winning by a margin of 14 goals on both occasions.
In 1905, while a passenger on an Atlantic voyage returning to Britain, Astor met Nancy Langhorne Shaw, a divorced woman with a young son (Robert Gould Shaw III).
As a wedding gift, Waldorf's father gave him and his bride the family estate at Cliveden, which Nancy redecorated and modernised with the installation of electricity.
Though defeated in an initial attempt to win election to the House of Commons in the January 1910 general election, Astor won election as a Unionist for the borough of Plymouth in the December 1910 general election.
He held the seat until the constituency was abolished in 1918, after which he moved to the borough of Plymouth Sutton.
Northcliffe and Garvin had a disagreement over the issue of Imperial Preference, and Northcliffe had given Garvin the option of finding a buyer for the paper.
Though his father provided the funds, it was Waldorf who was in charge of the paper, and he developed a harmonious working relationship with Garvin.
Having been diagnosed with a bad heart, Astor was unable to serve in combat and instead fought waste and inefficiency in munitions production.
When his friend David Lloyd George became prime minister and formed a new coalition government, Astor became his parliamentary private secretary.
Upon the death of his father in October 1919, Waldorf Astor succeeded to the viscountcy and became the 2nd Viscount Astor despite Waldorf's attempts to disclaim the title.
Now a member of the House of Lords, Astor was forced to forfeit his seat in the House of Commons, though he remained active in the government.
The seat was won subsequently in a by-election by Astor's wife Nancy, who became the second woman elected to the House of Commons and the first woman to take her seat in the House, after the first woman elected, Constance Markievicz, had declined in accordance with her (Sinn Féin) party's policy.
He became governor of the Peabody Trust and Guy's Hospital, while his interest in international relations fuelled his involvement with the Royal Institute of International Affairs, and he served as its chairman from 1935 to 1949.
He was also a considerable benefactor to the city of Plymouth, and served as its Lord Mayor from 1939 to 1944.
He was appointed Honorary Colonel of the Devonport, Plymouth-based Devonshire Heavy Brigade, Royal Artillery of the Territorial Army on 5 April 1929.
He later bought two other fillies/mares called Maid of the Mist and Popinjay and these three became the foundation mares of Astor’s Cliveden Stud that he established near to his home.
These were; Two Thousand Guineas Stakes:- Craig an Eran (1921), Pay Up (1936) and Court Martial (1945); One Thousand Guineas Stakes:- Winkipop (1910) and Saucy Sue (1925); Oaks Stakes:- Sunny Jane (1917), Pogrom (1922), Saucy Sue (1925), Short Story (1926) and Pennycomequick (1929); and St Leger Stakes:- Book Law (1927).
In addition to these successes he had 4 winners of the Eclipse Stakes, 3 winners of the St. James's Palace Stakes and 2 winners of the Champion Stakes.
He handed over his stud to his eldest son William and divided his bloodstock between William and his youngest son Jakie (John Jacob).
The eldest son continued using his racing colours of pale blue and pink and Jakie’s colours were a variation on this.
During the military buildup in Germany in the 1930s, the Astors promoted entente with Germany, seen by some as appeasement of Hitler.
Many of their associates felt sympathy for the state of Germany after World War I, feared Communism, and supported the position of the British government.
He also supported war against Germany when it came although both remained uncomfortable with Joseph Stalin as an ally (from 1941).
Viscount Astor died on 30 September 1952 at Cliveden near Taplow, England, and was buried in the Octagon Temple at Cliveden.
The Radicals were a loose parliamentary political grouping in Great Britain and Ireland in the early to mid-19th century, who drew on earlier ideas of radicalism and helped to transform the Whigs into the Liberal Party.
The Radical movement arose in the late 18th century to support parliamentary reform, with additional aims including lower taxes and the abolition of sinecures.
The 1832 parliament elected on the new franchise – which raised the percentage of the adult population eligible to vote from some 3% to 6% – contained some fifty or sixty Radicals, a number shortly doubled in the 1835 election, leading many to envisage a House of Commons eventually divided between Radicals on the one side and Conservatives (Tories and Whigs) on the other.
In fact, the Radicals failed either to take over an existing party, or to create a new, third force and there were three main reasons.
Secondly, there was the wide body of reforming opinion inside (and outside) Parliament concerned with other, unrelated issues, including international liberalism, anti-slavery, educational and temperance reform, non-conformist disabilities.
Instead, humanitarian Radicals opposed philosophic Radicals over the Factory Acts; political Radicals seeking a slimmed-down executive opposed Benthamite interventionists; universal suffrage men competed for time and resources with free traders – the Manchester men.
By 1859, the Radicals had come together with the Whigs and the anti-protectionist Tory Peelites to form the Liberal Party, though with the New Radicalism of figures like Joseph Chamberlain they continued to have a distinctive political influence into the closing years of the nineteenth century.
Meanwhile Radical leaders like Richard Cobden and John Bright in the middle class Anti-Corn Law League emerged to oppose the existing duties on imported grain which helped farmers and landowners by raising the price of food, but which harmed consumers and manufacturers.
After the success of the League on the one hand and the failure of Chartist mass demonstrations and petitions in 1848 to sway parliament on the other, demand for suffrage and parliamentary reform slowly re-emerged through the parliamentary radicals.
By 1864, with agitation from John Bright and the Reform League, the Liberal Prime Minister Earl Russell introduced a modest bill which was defeated by both Tories and reform Liberals, forcing the government to resign.
A Conservative minority government led by the Earl of Derby and Benjamin Disraeli took office and introduced the Reform Act 1867 – which almost doubled the electorate, giving many working men the vote – in a somewhat opportunistic party fashion.
Further Radical pressure led to the secret ballot (1872) and the Corrupt and Illegal Practices Act of 1883, followed by the Representation of the People Act 1884.
Progressive liberals like John Morley and Joseph Chamberlain continued to value radicalism as a unifying bridge between the classes, and a common goal.
The long career of David Lloyd George saw him moving from radical views in the 1890s to becoming Prime Minister in coalition with the Conservatives in 1918.
From 1900 and the rise of the Labour Party and the gradual achievement of the majority of the original Radical goals, Parliamentary Radicalism ceased to function as a political force in the early twentieth century.
The party places itself in the tradition of British parliamentary radicalism and promotes the view that progress towards a more equal and prosperous society can only be achieved through a transfer of power to the public through far-reaching constitutional reform and the adoption of a north European-style social market economy.
In the 2017 general election the party stood one candidate in Henley and it also stood in the 2018 Lewisham East by-election.
He was in the retinue of the comte d'Artois (future King Charles X), and became an officer in a cuirassier regiment.
Although he married a rich heiress from Saint Domingue, he was a founding member of the Society of the Friends of the Blacks in 1788.
He was deputy to the Estates-General of 1789, for the nobility, and was one of the first aristocrats to renounce his privileges on the night of 4 August 1789.
He continued to serve in the National Assembly and National Constituent Assembly and in January 1791 repaid to the Treasury the 60,000 francs it had cost Louis XVI to provide him and his brothers with an education at the École Militaire.
As the Assembly began to divide into factions, Lameth, a constitutional monarchist, was identified with the Feuillants and he was arrested in Rouen on 12 August 1792 for protesting against the Attack on the Tuileries.
He returned to France under the Consulate, was appointed Brigadier General in 1809 and fought in the Spanish War, and was appointed governor of Würzburg (in the Duchy of Würzburg) under the First Empire.
Like his brother Alexandre Lameth (but unlike his other one, Théodore de Lameth), Charles joined the Bourbon camp after the Restoration, succeeding Alexandre as deputy in 1829.
As founder of Cooper, a leading interaction design consultancy, he created the Goal-Directed design methodology and pioneered the use of personas as practical interaction design tools to create high-tech products.
In 1975, soon after he left college and as the first microcomputers became available, Alan Cooper founded his first company, Structured Systems Group (SSG), in Oakland, California, which became one of the first microcomputer software companies.
Ultimately, Cooper developed a dozen original products at Structured Systems Group before he sold his interest in the company in 1980.
Early on, Cooper worked with Gordon Eubanks to develop, debug, document, and publish his business programming language, CBASIC, an early competitor to Bill Gates’ and Paul Allen’s Microsoft BASIC.
Eubanks wrote CBASIC’s precursor, BASIC-E as a student project while at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California with professor Gary Kildall.
Soon thereafter, Eubanks and Kildall invited Cooper to join them at Digital Research as one of four founders of their research and development department.
During the 1980s, Alan Cooper authored several business applications including Microphone II for Windows and an early, critical-path project management program called SuperProject.
Microsoft initially decided not to release the product as a shell for users, but rather to transform it into a professional development tool for their QuickBASIC programming language called Visual Basic, which was widely used for business application development for Windows computers.
This innovation allowed any 3rd party developer to write a widget (control) as a DLL, put it in the Visual Basic directory, and Visual Basic would find it, communicate with it, and present it to the user as a seamless part of the program.
The widget would appear in the tool palette and appropriate menus, and users could incorporate it into their Visual Basic applications.
In 1992, in response to a rapidly consolidating software industry, Cooper began consulting with other companies, helping them design their applications to be more user friendly.
Based on a brief discussion in the book, personas rapidly gained popularity in the software industry due to their unusual power and effectiveness.
Cooper advocates for integrating design into business practice in order to meet customer needs and to build better products faster by doing it right the first time.
Alan Cooper's current focus is on how to effectively integrate the advances of interaction design with the effectiveness of agile software development methods.
It was founded by Sue Cooper and Alan Cooper in 1992 in Menlo Park, CA, under the name 'Cooper Software,' then changing the name to 'Cooper Interaction Design' in 1997. Cooper was the first consulting firm dedicated solely to interaction design.
In 2002, Cooper began offering training classes to the public including topic as interaction design, service design, visual design, and design leadership.
Cooper has served as the President of Cooper (formerly Cooper Interaction Design), a user experience and interaction design consultancy in San Francisco, California since its founding in 1992. Cooper helps their customers with interaction design challenges and offers training courses in software design and development topics, including their Goal-Directed design (under the CooperU brand).
5' AMP-activated protein kinase or AMPK or 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase is an enzyme (EC 2.7.11.31) that plays a role in cellular energy homeostasis, largely to activate glucose and fatty acid uptake and oxidation when cellular energy is low.
In response to binding AMP and ADP, the net effect of AMPK activation is stimulation of hepatic fatty acid oxidation, ketogenesis, stimulation of skeletal muscle fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake, inhibition of cholesterol synthesis, lipogenesis, and triglyceride synthesis, inhibition of adipocyte lipogenesis, activation of adipocyte lipolysis, and modulation of insulin secretion by pancreatic beta-cells.
Specifically, the γ subunit includes four particular Cystathionine beta synthase (CBS) domains, giving AMPK its ability to sensitively detect shifts in the AMP:ATP ratio.
Binding of one AMP to a Bateman domain cooperatively increases the binding affinity of the second AMP to the other Bateman domain.
As AMP binds both Bateman domains the γ subunit undergoes a conformational change which exposes the catalytic domain found on the α subunit.
It is in this catalytic domain where AMPK becomes activated when phosphorylation takes place at threonine-172 by an upstream AMPK kinase (AMPKK).
The α, β, and γ subunits can also be found in different isoforms: the γ subunit can exist as either the γ1, γ2 or γ3 isoform; the β subunit can exist as either the β1 or β2 isoform; and the α subunit can exist as either the α1 or α2 isoform.
Although the most common isoforms expressed in most cells are the α1, β1, and γ1 isoforms, it has been demonstrated that the α2, β2, γ2, and γ3 isoforms are also expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscle.
Due to the presence of isoforms of its components, there are 12 versions of AMPK in mammals, each of which can have different tissue localizations, and different functions under different conditions.
If residue T172 of AMPK's α-subunit is phosphorylated, AMPK is activated; access to that residue by phosphatases is blocked if AMP or ADP can block access for and ATP can displace AMP and ADP.
That residue is phosphorylated by at least three kinases (liver kinase B1 (LKB1) which works in a complex with STRAD and MO25, Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase II-(CAMKK2), and TGFβ-activated kinase 1 (TAK1)) and is dephosphorylated by three phosphatases (protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A); protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) and Mg2+-/Mn2+-dependent protein phosphatase 1E (PPM1E)).
AMPK is regulated allosterically mostly by competitive binding on its gamma subunit between ATP (which allows phosphatase access to T172) and AMP or ADP (each of which blocks access to phosphatases).
The interaction of CaMKK2 with AMPK only involves the alpha and beta subunits of AMPK (AMPK gamma is absent from the CaMKK2 complex), thus rendering regulation of AMPK in this context to changes in calcium levels but not AMP or ADP.
It is also regulated by several protein-protein interactions, and may either be activated or inhibited by oxidative factors; the role of oxidation in regulating AMPK was controversial as of 2016.
When AMPK phosphorylates acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1) or sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP1c), it inhibits synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol, and triglycerides, and activates fatty acid uptake and β-oxidation.
AMPK stimulates glucose uptake in skeletal muscle by phosphorylating Rab-GTPase-activating protein TBC1D1, which ultimately induces fusion of GLUT4 vesicles with the plasma membrane.
AMPK stimulates glycolysis by activating phosphorylation of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 2/3 and activating phosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase, and it inhibits glycogen synthesis through inhibitory phosphorylation of glycogen synthase.
In the liver, AMPK inhibits gluconeogenesis by inhibiting transcription factors including hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (HNF4) and CREB regulated transcription coactivator 2 (CRTC2).
AMPK inhibits the energy-intensive protein biosynthesis process and can also force a switch from cap-dependent translation to cap-independent translation, which requires less energy, by phosphorylation of TSC2, RPTOR, transcription initiation factor 1A.66, and eEF2K.
Activation of AMPK signifies low energy within the cell, so all of the energy consuming pathways like protein synthesis are inhibited, and pathways that generate energy are activated to restore appropriate energy levels in the cell.
Many biochemical adaptations of skeletal muscle that take place during a single bout of exercise or an extended duration of training, such as increased mitochondrial biogenesis and capacity, increased muscle glycogen, and an increase in enzymes which specialize in glucose uptake in cells such as GLUT4 and hexokinase II are thought to be mediated in part by AMPK when it is activated.
Additionally, recent discoveries can conceivably suggest a direct AMPK role in increasing blood supply to exercised/trained muscle cells by stimulating and stabilizing both vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.
Taken together, these adaptations most likely transpire as a result of both temporary and maintained increases in AMPK activity brought about by increases in the AMP:ATP ratio during single bouts of exercise and long-term training.
During a single acute exercise bout, AMPK allows the contracting muscle cells to adapt to the energy challenges by increasing expression of hexokinase II, translocation of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane, for glucose uptake, and by stimulating glycolysis.
If bouts of exercise continue through a long-term training regimen, AMPK and other signals will facilitate contracting muscle adaptations by escorting muscle cell activity to a metabolic transition resulting in a fatty-acid oxidation approach to ATP generation as opposed to a glycolytic approach.
AMPK accomplishes this transition to the oxidative mode of metabolism by upregulating and activating oxidative enzymes such as hexokinase II, PPARalpha, PPARdelta, PGC-1, UCP-3, cytochrome C and TFAM.
AMPK activity increases with exercise and the LKB1/MO25/STRAD complex is considered to be the major upstream AMPKK of the 5’-AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylating the α subunit of AMPK at Thr-172.
This fact is puzzling considering that although AMPK protein abundance has been shown to increase in skeletal tissue with endurance training, its level of activity has been shown to decrease with endurance training in both trained and untrained tissue.
It is possible that there exists a direct link between the observed decrease in AMPK activity in endurance trained skeletal muscle and the apparent decrease in the AMPK response to exercise with endurance training.
Although AMPKalpha2 activation has been thought to be important for mitochondrial adaptations to exercise training, a recent study investigating the response to exercise training in AMPKa2 knockout mice opposes this idea.
And even though the knockout mice had lower basal markers of mitochondrial density (COX-1, CS, and HAD), these markers increased similarly to the wild type mice after exercise training.
These findings are supported by another study also showing no difference in mitochondrial adaptations to exercise training between wild type and knockout mice.
The C. elegans homologue of AMPK, aak-2, has been shown by Michael Ristow and colleagues to be required for extension of life span in states of glucose restriction mediating a process named mitohormesis.
It is also thought that the decrease in malonyl-CoA occurs as a result of malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (MCD), which may be regulated by AMPK.
MCD is an antagonist to ACC, decarboxylating malonyl-CoA to acetyl-CoA, resulting in decreased malonyl-CoA and increased CPT-1 and fatty acid oxidation.
HMGR converts 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA, which is made from acetyl-CoA, into mevalonic acid, which then travels down several more metabolic steps to become cholesterol.
Insulin, among other things, will then facilitate the uptake of glucose into cells via increased expression and translocation of glucose transporter GLUT-4.
Under conditions of exercise, however, blood sugar levels are not necessarily high, and insulin is not necessarily activated, yet muscles are still able to bring in glucose.
observed that with exercise, the concentration of GLUT-4 was increased in the plasma membrane, but decreased in the microsomal membranes, suggesting that exercise facilitates the translocation of vesicular GLUT-4 to the plasma membrane.
It has been shown that both electrical contraction and AICA ribonucleotide (AICAR) treatment increase AMPK activation, glucose uptake, and GLUT-4 translocation in perfused rat hindlimb muscle, linking exercise-induced glucose uptake to AMPK.
Chronic AICAR injections, simulating some of the effects of endurance training, also increase the total amount of GLUT-4 protein in the muscle cell.
Two proteins are essential for the regulation of GLUT-4 expression at a transcriptional level – myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) and GLUT4 enhancer factor (GEF).
These results prompted a study in 2005 which showed that AMPK directly phosphorylates GEF, but it doesn't seem to directly activate MEF2.
AICAR treatment has been shown, however, to increase transport of both proteins into the nucleus, as well as increase the binding of both to the GLUT-4 promoter region.
This phosphorylation keeps glucose from leaving the cell, and by changing the structure of glucose through phosphorylation, it decreases the concentration of glucose molecules, maintaining a gradient for more glucose to be transported into the cell.
Mitochondrial enzymes, such as cytochrome c, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, and citrate synthase, increase in expression and activity in response to exercise.
PGC-1α is a transcriptional regulator for genes involved in fatty acid oxidation, gluconeogenesis, and is considered the master regulator for mitochondrial biogenesis.
To do this, it enhances the activity of transcription factors like nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF-1), myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2), host cell factor (HCF), and others.
They found that all of the subunits of AMPK were increased in skeletal muscle, especially in the soleus and red quadriceps, with thyroid hormone treatment.
Loss of the AMPKα2 subunit in pancreatic beta cells and hypothalamic neurons decreases the sensitivity of these cells to changes in extracellular glucose concentration.
Moreover, exposure of rats to recurrent bouts of insulin induced hypoglycaemia/glucopenia, reduces the activation of AMPK within the hypothalamus, whilst also suppressing the counterregulatory response to hypoglycaemia.
A seemingly paradoxical role of AMPK occurs when we take a closer look at the energy-sensing enzyme in relation to exercise and long-term training.
Similar to short-term acute training scale, long-term endurance training studies also reveal increases in oxidative metabolic enzymes, GLUT-4, mitochondrial size and quantity, and an increased dependency on the oxidation of fatty acids; however, Winder et al.
reported in 2002 that despite observing these increased oxidative biochemical adaptations to long-term endurance training (similar to those mentioned above), the AMPK response (activation of AMPK with the onset of exercise) to acute bouts of exercise decreased in red quadriceps (RQ) with training (3 – see Fig.1).
Conversely, the study did not observe the same results in white quadriceps (WQ) and soleus (SOL) muscles that they did in RQ.
Because the AMPK response to exercise decreases with increased training duration, many questions arise that would challenge the AMPK role with respect to biochemical adaptations to exercise and endurance training.
This is due in part to the marked increases in the mitochondrial biogenesis, upregulation of GLUT-4, UCP-3, Hexokinase II along with other metabolic and mitochondrial enzymes despite decreases in AMPK activity with training.
Questions also arise because skeletal muscle cells which express these decreases in AMPK activity in response to endurance training also seem to be maintaining an oxidative dependent approach to metabolism, which is likewise thought to be regulated to some extent by AMPK activity.
It is hypothesized that these adaptive roles to training are maintained by AMPK activity and that the increases in AMPK activity in response to exercise in trained skeletal muscle have not yet been observed due to biochemical adaptations that the training itself stimulated in the muscle tissue to reduce the metabolic need for AMPK activation.
In other words, due to previous adaptations to training, AMPK will not be activated, and further adaptation will not occur, until the intracellular ATP levels become depleted from an even higher intensity energy challenge than prior to those previous adaptations.
The club was formed in 1983 after the dissolution of the town's previous club, Dover F.C., whose place in the Southern League was taken by the new club.
In the 1989–90 season Dover Athletic won the Southern League championship, but failed to gain promotion to the Football Conference as the club's ground did not meet the required standard.
Three seasons later the team won the title again and this time gained promotion to the Conference, where they spent nine seasons before being relegated at the end of the 2001–02 season.
The club was transferred from the Southern League to the Isthmian League in 2004, competing in that league's Premier Division for one season before mounting financial problems led the club to a further relegation.
In the 2007–08 season, Dover won Division One South of the league, before winning the Premier Division in 2008–09 and thus gaining promotion to the Conference South.
They spent five seasons in this division, reaching the play-offs three times, before defeating Ebbsfleet United in the 2013–14 play-off final to finally return to the Conference Premier after a twelve-year absence.
The club's best performance in the FA Cup was reaching the third round proper in both the 2010–11 and 2014–15 seasons, while the best performance registered in the FA Trophy, the national competition for higher-level non-league clubs, was a run to the semi-finals in the 1997–98 season.
The new club took Dover's place in the Southern League Southern Division, with former Dover player Alan Jones as manager and a team consisting mainly of reserve players from the old club.
Under Kinnear the club's fortunes turned round, with two top-five finishes followed by the Southern Division championship, and with it promotion, in the 1987–88 season.
The team started strongly in the Premier Division, finishing in sixth place at the first attempt, and then winning the championship in the 1989–90 season.
The club was denied promotion to the Football Conference, however, as the Crabble Athletic Ground did not meet the standard required for that league.
After finishing fourth and second in the subsequent two seasons, Dover won the title again in the 1992–93 season and this time were admitted to the Conference.
Although Dover finished in eighth place in their first season in the Conference, the following season saw the club struggling against relegation, and Kinnear was dismissed due to a combination of the team's poor performances and his own personal problems.
John Ryan was appointed as the club's new manager, but his reign was a short one and he was dismissed when the club lost seven of its first eight matches in the 1995–96 season.
The club then appointed former England international Peter Taylor as manager, but he was unable to steer the team away from the foot of the table, and Dover held onto their place in the Conference only because Northern Premier League runners-up Boston United failed to submit their application for promotion before the required deadline.
Bill Williams took over as manager in 1997 and led the club to the FA Trophy semi-finals in the 1997–98 season and a best league finish to date of sixth place in the 1999–2000 season.
Amid the crisis the entire board of directors resigned, forcing the club's Supporters' Trust to take over the running of the club, and manager Gary Bellamy was sacked after just six months in the job.
Former Everton goalkeeper Neville Southall took over but was dismissed just three months later, with Clive Walker taking over in March 2002 with the club rooted to the foot of the table.
The club's ongoing financial problems led to it entering a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA), a process by which insolvent companies offset their debts against future profits, due to debts that were now estimated at £400,000.
In Dover's first season back in the Southern League Premier Division the Whites finished in third place, albeit 17 points adrift of Tamworth, who claimed the one promotion place available that season.
Dover finished the season in 19th place, before being switched to the Isthmian League Premier Division in the summer of 2004 following a re-organisation of the English football league system.
The new season started with six successive defeats, which saw Langley sacked, and the financial problems continued, with the club coming within two months of being closed down.
Dover were relegated to the Isthmian League Division One at the end of the season, but were saved from possible extinction in January 2005 when former director Jim Parmenter returned to head up a consortium that took over the club.
Parmenter quickly sacked manager Steve Browne and convinced Clive Walker to return to the club to replace him, and also arranged for the club's outstanding CVA debts to be cleared, putting the club on a firm financial footing for the first time in many years.
Dover Athletic narrowly missed out on an immediate return to the Premier Division in the 2005–06 season, reaching the play-offs for promotion but losing out to Tonbridge Angels.
The following season Dover again reached the play-offs but lost in the semi-final to Hastings United, after which Walker did not have his contract renewed and was replaced by former Gillingham manager Andy Hessenthaler.
In his first season in charge he led the club to the Division One South championship and promotion to the Isthmian League Premier Division.
In the 2009–10 season, Dover reached the play-offs for promotion to the Conference National, but lost at the semi-final stage to Woking.
The following season the club reached the third round of the FA Cup for the first time after wins over Kent rivals Gillingham in the first round and another League Two club, Aldershot Town, in the second round.
The following season the team reached the second round of the FA Cup, losing 1–0 to Milton Keynes Dons, The last 16 of the FA Trophy, narrowly losing 3–2 to Eastleigh and made the play-offs once more.
A 4–1 aggregate victory over Sutton United in the semi-final set up a match with fellow Kent team Ebbsfleet United in the final.
On 10 May 2014, Dover beat Ebbsfleet 1–0 at Stonebridge Road with a goal from Nathan Elder enough to seal the club's return to the top flight of non-league football for the first time since 2002.
In the 2014–15 season Dover went on another FA Cup run, beating Morecambe 1–0 in the first round, then Cheltenham Town 1–0 in the second round to reach the third round proper for only the second time ever, but lost 4–0 at home to Premier League side Crystal Palace.
The club's crest contains a stylised representation of the town's two most famous landmarks, Dover Castle and the white cliffs, enclosed in a circle bearing the club's name.
The club's shirts have been sponsored by companies including Criccieth Homes, Paul Brown of Dover, Jenkins and Pain, cross-channel ferry operators Hoverspeed and SeaFrance, local car dealership Perry's and are now sponsored by produce suppliers Gomez, the company owned by Dover Athletic chairman Jim Parmenter.
Dover Athletic's home ground since the club's foundation has been the Crabble Athletic Ground, which was also the home of the former Dover club.
Dover Athletic continued to make improvements to the ground, although not in time to allow the club to take its place in the Football Conference in 1990.
In 2007 the club announced that under the new sponsorship deal with SeaFrance the stadium would be known officially as the SeaFrance Crabble Stadium, but a year later it was announced that the deal would not be renewed due to the ferry operator's financial constraints.
On 1 July 2008 local car dealership Perry's was announced as the club's new main sponsor and the stadium rebranded as the Perry's Crabble Stadium, an arrangement which lasted until 2012.
Margate played their home matches at Crabble for two seasons from 2002 until 2004, while their own Hartsdown Park ground was being redeveloped.
In the club's early days Athletic struggled to attract crowds of over 150, but by the time the club reached the Conference, crowds at Crabble were averaging around 1,000.
After the club's relegation to the Isthmian League Division One South, the average attendance fell to just over 800, but when the club returned to the Premier Division for the 2008–09 season, the average attendance at Crabble was 1,293, the highest in the division.
The highest home attendance in the club's history was 5,645 for the match against Crystal Palace in the third round of the FA Cup on 4 January 2015.
Although Athletic's improved monetary position means that the Supporters' Trust is no longer required to financially support the club, it remains active as a fundraising organisation.
Dover Athletic's highest finish in the English football league system was in the 2015–16 season, in which the team finished in fifth place in the National League, the highest level of non-league football and the fifth level overall.
The Whites have made 13 appearances in the final qualifying round of the FA Cup, but have only progressed to the first round proper three times.
In the 2010–11 season, Dover reached the third round for the first time, defeating Football League Two teams Gillingham and Aldershot Town in the first two rounds before losing to Huddersfield Town of Football League One.
In the 1997–98 season the Whites reached the semi-finals of the FA Trophy but missed out on an appearance at Wembley, losing to Cheltenham Town.
The largest number of points the team has accrued is 104 in the 2008-09 season, and the highest total number of goals scored in a season is 89, scored in 40 matches in the 1985–86 season.
The team's biggest ever win was an 8–0 defeat of East Preston in September 2009, and the heaviest defeat was a 7–1 loss to Poole Town in April 1984.
The holder of the record for most appearances for Dover Athletic is Jason Bartlett, who played in 539 matches, and the all-time top goalscorer is Lennie Lee, with 160 goals.
The club's record signing is Dave Leworthy, who joined the club from Farnborough Town in 1993 for £50,000, which at the time was the highest transfer fee ever paid between non-league clubs.
Dover Athletic have had 19 permanent managers (excluding caretaker managers) in the club's 25-year history, with Chris Kinnear's first stint being the longest.
The shortest stay was Ian Hendon who was announced as manager on 28 May 2010 and resigned only 18 days later to join Andy Hessenthaler at Gillingham.
A meeting between the two teams in 2004 was watched by a crowd of 2,278, a record attendance for a league match at Invicta's ground.
In the 2001–02 season, when both teams were in the Football Conference, the two games between Margate and Dover were watched by a combined total of more than 6,000 spectators.
The game played at Margate's Hartsdown Park stadium drew a crowd of 3,676, and 2,325 were in attendance for the game at Dover.
Located in southern England (often said to be Cornwall as this was where the author lived and was explicitly stated as such in the Hitchcock adaptation), Manderley is a typical country estate: it is filled with family heirlooms, is run by a large domestic staff and is open to the public on certain days.
The adult du Maurier's Cornish home near Fowey, called Menabilly, was influential in her descriptions of the setting, though a much smaller house.
Several years after writing the novel, she leased the manor (1945–1967) from the Rashleigh family, who have owned it since the 16th century.
Halévy was born in Paris, son of the cantor Élie Halfon Halévy, who was the secretary of the Jewish community of Paris and a writer and teacher of Hebrew, and a French Jewish mother.
The name Fromental (meaning 'oat grass'), by which he was generally known, reflects his birth on the day dedicated to that plant: 7 Prairial in the French Revolutionary calendar, which was still operative at that time.
He entered the Conservatoire de Paris at the age of nine or ten (accounts differ), in 1809, becoming a pupil and later protégé of Cherubini.
The same year he became professor of harmony and accompaniment at the Conservatoire de Paris, where he was professor of counterpoint and fugue in 1833 and of composition in 1840.
It is probable, however, that this aria was inserted only at the request of the great tenor Adolphe Nourrit, who premiered the role and may have suggested the aria's text.
Other admirers included Wagner, who wrote an enthusiastic review of Halévy's grand operas for the German press in 1841 (Wagner never showed towards Halévy the anti-Jewish animus that was so notorious a feature of his writings on Meyerbeer and Mendelssohn).
He became, however, a leading bureaucrat of the arts, becoming Secretary of the Académie des Beaux-Arts and presiding over committees to determine the standard pitch of orchestral A, to award prizes for operettas, etc.
His wretched wife has crammed his house with bric-a-brac and old furniture, and this new craze will end by driving him to a lunatic asylum.
His new position at the Academy must take up a great deal of his time and make it more and more difficult for him to find the peace and quiet he needs for his work.
After Bizet's death and an alliance with Élie-Miriam Delaborde, the son of Charles-Valentin Alkan, Geneviève married a banker with Rothschild connections and became a leading Parisian salonnière.
The University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC), known as the University of Maryland University College until July 1, 2019, is a public university focused on online education and headquartered in Adelphi, Maryland.
UMGC offers classes and programs on campus in its Academic Center in Largo and at satellite campuses across the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area, throughout Maryland, and in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
The university offers 120 academic programs in instructor-led and online classes, including bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, as well as undergraduate and graduate certificates.
It also ran a two-year residential campus in Munich, Germany, from 1950 to 1992, which then moved to Augsburg, Germany, from 1993 to 1994, and then to Mannheim, Germany, in 1995 until it finally closed in 2005.
The residential campus offered a two-year associate degree and mainly served high school graduate children of U.S. military and government personnel stationed in Europe.
In 2008 UMUC offered courses on over 130 military installations at locations throughout Europe and the Middle East, as well as in Asia.
In FY 2015, UMGC offered on-site classes in 20 countries throughout the world, enrolling almost 11,000 students, in Asia and Europe.
When UMUC first opened in 1947, the school was named College of Special and Continuation Studies to distinguish it as an institution independent from the University of Maryland, College Park.
In 1953, Raymond Ehrensberger, chancellor of the institution at that time, wanted to change the name to something more meaningful and less cumbersome for people to say and remember.
In 1959, Chancellor Ehrensberger persuaded the University System of Maryland's Board of Regents to change the name to University of Maryland University College.
Therefore, UMUC was not a division of the University of Maryland, College Park, but rather a separate institution within the University System of Maryland.
The name change request was submitted as SB 201 and HB 319 in the 2019 regular session of the Maryland General Assembly.
The name change was enacted into law on April 18, 2019 when the bill was signed by Maryland Governor Larry Hogan.
Even before the advent of online education by way of the World Wide Web, UMGC was a distance education pioneer and offered distance learning using its WebTycho interface by way of dial-up access.
UMGC later adopted the use of the Web for connectivity to its online classrooms, as well as using television and correspondence courses to deliver course content.
The Undergraduate School offers more than 30 bachelor's degree programs and undergraduate certificates, awarded in business management, computers/information technology, communications, criminal justice/legal studies, and social sciences.
In an attempt to establish its own identity as an independent university, UMGC changed its postal address to Adelphi, an unincorporated community that borders College Park.
The marketing decision to change its postal address was one of many undertaken by UMGC to distinguish the university as one of the largest distance-education centers, with over 248,000 students enrolled worldwide in FY 2015.
UMGC purchased for $38 million its new headquarters building in Largo, Maryland, which was once the headquarters site for Hechinger and corporate offices of Raytheon.
UMGC followed the same process as it did to achieve LEED certification in 2005 for its Inn & Conference Center, which became the first hotel complex in the United States to achieve certification as a green building.
UMGC began relocating its academic departments and offices to its new Academic Center at Largo in September 2009, and completed the process in 2010.
UMGC operates satellite campuses at more than 140 worldwide locations, including across the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area, the United States, Europe, and Asia.
In the greater Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area, daytime, evening and weekend classes are held at 21 locations, including holding many of its classes at the University of Maryland, College Park campus.
The satellite campuses offer varying academic services, including advising, computing, and library facilities (extensive library services are available to distance education students via the University's Information and Library Services department).
In partnership with Maryland community colleges and other University System of Maryland institutions, UMGC offers courses and degree programs at several higher education centers throughout the state.
A consortium of universities led by Anne Arundel Community College, including UMGC, operates a higher education center adjacent to Arundel Mills mall in Hanover, Maryland.
In addition, the University offers courses at the Universities at Shady Grove and University System of Maryland at Hagerstown, which are part of the University System of Maryland.
In Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, UMGC offers courses on military bases for service members, contractors, Federal employees, and their families.
In addition to distance learning via the Web, the university offers on-site, instructor-led classes at 130 overseas US military bases in 22 countries throughout the world.
UMGC divisional headquarters are located in Kaiserslautern, Germany (following the closure of United States Army Garrison Heidelberg) and on Yokota Air Base, Tokyo, Japan, respectively.
UMGC specializes in distance learning for adult, non-traditional students in Maryland, across the country, and around the world by operating satellite campuses and offering online instruction.
Over a third of UMGC's stateside students were African-American, and this minority group earned over a third of the degrees awarded by the university.
The publication looked at U.S. Department of Education statistics on student success and academic quality, as well as areas such as university culture, student support, and academic policies in evaluating hundreds of schools.
In 2011, UMGC received the Institution Award from the Council of College and Military Educators (CCME), a not-for-profit organization founded to promote, encourage and deliver quality education to service members and their families in all branches of the U.S. armed services.
It was one of the first blues songs to succeed as a pop song and remains a fundamental part of jazz musicians' repertoire.
Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Bessie Smith, Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Guy Lombardo, and the Boston Pops Orchestra are among the artists who have recorded it.
The 1925 version sung by Bessie Smith, with Louis Armstrong on cornet, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1993.
At the time of his death in 1958, Handy was earning royalties of upwards of US$25,000 annually for the song ().
The original published sheet music is available online from the United States Library of Congress in a searchable database of African-American music from Brown University.
The tango-like rhythm is notated as a dotted quarter note followed by an eighth note and two quarter notes, with no slurs or ties.
With traditional New Orleans and New Orleans–style bands, the tune is one of a handful that includes a set traditional solo.
The clarinet solo, with a distinctive series of rising partials, was first recorded by Larry Shields with the Original Dixieland Jass Band in 1921.
Shields is often credited with creating this solo, but claims have been made for other early New Orleans clarinetists, including Emile Barnes.
This backs the claim by Waters, who said she learned it from Anderson and featured it herself during a 1917 engagement in Baltimore.
Bernard's version may have been the first U.S. issue to include the lyrics, but Ciro's Club Coon Orchestra, a group of black American artists appearing in Britain, had already recorded a version including the lyrics in September 1917.
The Opéra-Comique is a Paris opera company, which was founded around 1714 by some of the popular theatres of the Parisian fairs.
In 1762 the company was merged with, and for a time took the name of its chief rival the Comédie-Italienne at the Hôtel de Bourgogne, and was also called the Théâtre-Italien up to about 1793, when it again became most commonly known as the Opéra-Comique.
Today the company's official name is Théâtre national de l'Opéra-Comique, and its theatre, with a capacity of around 1,248 seats, sometimes referred to as the Salle Favart (the third on this site), is located in Place Boïeldieu, in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, not far from the Palais Garnier, one of the theatres of the Paris Opéra.
The musicians and others associated with the Opéra-Comique have made important contributions to operatic history and tradition in France, and to French opera.
Its current mission is to reconnect with its history, and discover its unique repertoire, to ensure production and dissemination of operas for the wider public.
Since the Middle Ages popular light theatrical entertainments had been a part of the seasonal Parisian fairs, especially the Foire Saint-Germain and the Foire Saint-Laurent.
However, with the establishment in 1672 of King Louis XIV's Académie royale de Musique (popularly known as the Opéra) under Jean-Baptiste Lully, the use of music by fair troupes was significantly curtailed.
The fair theatres were soon viewed as competition by the Opéra and the Comédie-Française, and restrictions were again more strictly enforced.
Although in 1708 the fairground entrepreneurs Charles Alard and Maurice were able to purchase from the Opéra's director Pierre Guyenet the right to use singers, dancers, musicians, and sets, this did not last as Guyenet died in 1712, leaving the Opéra with a debt in the neighborhood of 400,000 livres.
The players next tried including vaudeville airs via audience participation: the musicians would play a popular tune, and the spectators would sing, while the actors remained silent.
In 1713 and 1714 several of the fair troupes were able to conclude a new series of agreements with the creditors of the deceased Guyenet, who at this point had become the managers of the rather expensive Opéra.
For an annual fee the troupes obtained the right to perform light comedies interspersed with songs and dances and to use sets and theatre machines.
In 1716 one of the troupes' leaders, Catherine Vanderberg purchased additional rights and began to present more original works by authors, such as Jacques-Philippe d'Orneval, Alexis Piron, and Louis Fuzelier.
In 1743 the impresario Jean Monnet paid 12,000 livres to the Opéra for the right to run the Opéra-Comique, He renovated the theatre and brought together a group of highly talented creative artists, including, besides Favart, who also worked as a stage director, the comedian Préville, the stage designer François Boucher, and the ballet master Dupré and his pupil Jean-Georges Noverre.
During his second period as director, Monnet continued to work with Favart and Noverre, and Boucher designed and built a substantial new theatre for the company of the Foire Saint-Laurent in 1752.
The theatre was later installed in a wing of the Hôtel des Menus-Plaisirs on the rue Bergère, where it was used by the Opéra in 1781, and then as the first concert hall of the Paris Conservatory, which was founded on the same site in 1795.
The new theatre was especially important, as it enabled the company to perform at times when the fair was not in operation.
The music was actually original, composed by Antoine Dauvergne, and began a period of new works in a more Italian style in which music played a much more significant role.
On 3 February 1762 the Opéra-Comique was merged into the Comédie-Italienne and occupied the Hôtel de Bourgogne, gaining in respectability what it lost in independence.
The company was renamed to Opéra-Comique by an edict of the king in 1780, although the names Comédie-Italienne and Théâtre Italien were still used frequently by the press and public for many years thereafter.
With the proliferation of opera houses after the Law of 1791 which removed restrictions on the opening of theatres, there was competition with the Théâtre Feydeau, which was resolved in 1801 by merger.
In 1840, the Opéra-Comique company settled in the second Salle Favart (architect Louis Charpentier; 1,500 seats), built on the site of the first theatre, destroyed by fire in 1838.
During the 1850s and 1860s the Théâtre Lyrique offered competition in the type of repertoire staged, being particularly strong in its policy of new commissions.
The building was destroyed and the director Léon Carvalho was forced to resign, although later he was acquitted of blame and resumed the helm at the company from 1891 to 1897.
The third Salle Favart (architect Louis Bernier) was officially opened in the presence of President Félix Faure on 7 December 1898.
Between 1900 and 1950, 401 works by 206 different composers were performed at the Opéra-Comique, of which 222 were either world premieres (136) or the first performance in Paris (86).
In 1939 financial problems resulted in the Opéra-Comique being merged with the Opéra to become the 'Réunion des Théatres Lyriques Nationaux'.
However, by the end of the Second World War, the Opéra-Comique's best artists, assets and repertory had been gradually taken from it to enrich the Opéra.
However, in 1972 the Opéra-Comique company was closed (although the theatre itself received visiting productions) and its government grant added to that of the Opéra.
It currently mounts 7 or 8 operas or opéra comiques (some of them co-productions), with complementary concerts, recitals and exhibitions, each season.
In the summer of 2015 the theatre closed for 18 months for major refurbishment including the costume department, the salle Bizet, and the hall Boieldieu.
During the closure a webopera and a fan zone at the UEFA Cup where spectators were invited to sing well-known opéra-comique songs took place.
An ethical dilemma or ethical paradox is a decision-making problem between two possible moral imperatives, neither of which is unambiguously acceptable or preferable.
Sometimes called ethical paradoxes in moral philosophy, ethical dilemmas may be invoked to refute an ethical system or moral code, or to improve it so as to resolve the paradox.
A popular ethical conflict is that between an imperative or injunction not to steal and one to care for a family that you cannot afford to feed without stolen money.
Debates on this often revolve around the availability of alternate means of income or support such as a social safety net, charity, etc.
Under an ethical system in which stealing is always wrong and letting one's family die from starvation is always wrong, a person in such a situation would be forced to commit one wrong to avoid committing another, and be in constant conflict with those whose view of the acts varied.
Karl Marx and marxist ethics, it is the different life experience of people and the different exposure of them and their families in these roles (the rich constantly robbing the poor, the poor in a position of constant begging and subordination) that creates social class differences.
Many schools do not limit their use to sport but may also give colours for academic excellence or non-sporting extra-curricular activities, Colours are traditionally indicated by the wearing of a special tie or blazer.
Many university colours are known by the name of the colour used, which is usually the colour work by the university's sports teams, e.g.
A full Palatinate at Durham, a Royal Blue at Liverpool or Full Colours at Cardiff require a student to have represented their country, while at Oxford the requirement for a full Blue is to have represented the university in a varsity match against Cambridge in an eligible sport.
At Cambridge, teams would seek permission of the boat club to use their blue colour; by the 1860s the established sports with full blue status were rowing, cricket and athletics.
In 1884, the rugby and football clubs awarded themselves blues following their varsity matches (against Oxford), leading to a debate at the Cambridge Union that was decisively lost by the boat club.
The hockey club also gained full blue status (in 1894) before the system was formalised by the establishment of the blues committee in 1912.
blazer) of palatinate purple target than the claret coat of the club, and the award of both Palatinates and half Palatinates was well established by the end of the century.
The Oak Street Connector, officially known as the Richard C. Lee Highway (named after former New Haven mayor Richard C. Lee), is a freeway section of Route 34 that is located in downtown New Haven, Connecticut, United States.
Much of the connector has been closed to traffic as part of the first phase of the New Haven Downtown Crossing Project.
As originally planned in 1957, the Connector was supposed to extend as a full expressway extending ten miles (16 km) westward from New Haven to a proposed interchange with Route 8 in the vicinity of the towns of Derby or Shelton, depending on the alignment selected for construction.
The highway replaced Oak Street (formerly Morocco Street) which had been a poor area since the days when leather workers congregated along West Creek.
The freeway was also meant to bring cars into the city and facilitate the east–west flow of traffic between New Haven and its growing western suburbs.
Other plans for the highway to be extended into a larger expressway from New Haven to Peekskill, New York were shelved in the mid-1970s, following successful challenges by highway opponents.
The right-of-way between South Frontage Road and Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (originally North Frontage Road) in New Haven to Route 10 was preserved for a future extension of the connector past Route 10 to rejoin the existing Route 34 at a signalized intersection west of Route 122 in Orange.
A small portion of the planned freeway extension that was built in Orange during the 1980s is now used as a commuter parking lot.
During Connecticut's budget crisis of 2002, the State of Connecticut sold off land acquired for numerous planned expressways throughout the state, including land set aside for extending the Oak Street Connector.
The Pfizer deal ensured the Oak Street Connector could not be extended beyond its terminus at the Air Rights Parking Garage near Yale-New Haven Hospital.
After the completion of the Pfizer research facility in 2005, New Haven Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. and several leaders of local civic groups began pushing the Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) to study removing the existing Oak Street Connector (re-routing traffic onto Legion Avenue and M.L.K.
The project would remove the portion of the Oak Street Connector west of South Orange Street, creating two large parcels of land divided by College Street on which buildings and developments could be built.
Inbound traffic would be re-routed onto Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard (aka North Frontage Road) while outbound traffic would be re-routed onto Legion Avenue (aka South Frontage Road).
The road bed of the original highway would be reused as a driveway to and from the Air Rights Garage, allowing commuters to reach the Air Rights Garage while avoiding traffic on College and Church streets.
The segment of the Oak Street Connector east of South Orange Street was retained as a freeway stub connecting the new frontage streets with the I-95/I-91 interchange, which itself was also rebuilt from 2011 to 2016.
The removal of this freeway stub would be part of a larger project called New Haven Downtown Crossing which seeks to reconnect New Haven's street grid which was originally disconnected by the construction of the connector.
One factor that would argue against demolition of the connector is the fact that it serves as the main route for ambulances from Yale New Haven Hospital to get out of downtown, thus removing the highway would degrade service to outer neighborhoods and increase response times.
ConnDOT and the City of New Haven began preparing the environmental impact statement for removing the Oak Street Connector in 2011, and in mid-2013 construction began on phase one of Downtown Crossing began which completed the aforementioned upgrades to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, as well as construction of 100 College Street.
The Oak Street Connector west of South Orange Street officially closed to westbound traffic on July 14, 2014, with traffic re-routed onto the newly-rebuilt Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
The town expanded significantly after Napoleon I chose the site as the new préfecture of the Vendée on 25 May 1804, replacing Fontenay-le-Comte (then under its revolutionary name of Fontenay-le-Peuple).
At the time, most of La Roche had been eradicated in the Vendée Revolt (1793–96); the renamed Napoléonville was laid out and a fresh population of soldiers and civil servants was brought in.
La Roche-sur-Yon is the chief town of the Arrondissement of La Roche-sur-Yon, which covers 11 cantons, 92 communes, and has a population of 230,386 (1999 census).
La Roche-sur-Yon's Vendéspace hosted one of the first round ties of the 2014 Davis Cup tennis tournament over the weekend of 31 January - 2 February 2014.
In 2015 La Roche-sur-Yon, will host the 2015 FIRS Men's Roller Hockey World Cup, the first time that a World Cup of roller hockey is held in France.
Body weight is measured in kilograms, a measure of mass, throughout the world, although in some countries such as the United States it is measured in pounds, or as in the United Kingdom, stones and pounds.
Most hospitals, even in the United States, now use kilograms for calculations, but use kilograms and pounds together for other purposes.
Practically though, body weight may be measured with clothes on, but without shoes or heavy accessories such as mobile phones and wallets, and using manual or digital weighing scales.
Excess or reduced body weight is regarded as an indicator of determining a person's health, with body volume measurement providing an extra dimension by calculating the distribution of body weight.
There are a number of methods to estimate weight in children for circumstances (such as emergencies) when actual weight cannot be measured.
Of the many formulas that have been used for estimating body weight, some include the APLS formula, the Leffler formula, and Theron formula.
Newer systems, such as the PAWPER tape, make use of a simple two-step process to estimate weight: the length-based weight estimation is modified according to the child's body habitus to increase the accuracy of the final weight prediction.
Ideal body weight (IBW) was initially introduced by Devine in 1974 to allow estimation of drug clearances in obese patients; researchers have since shown that the metabolism of certain drugs relates more to IBW than total body weight.
The term was based on the use of insurance data that demonstrated the relative mortality for males and females according to different height-weight combinations.
The most common estimation of IBW is by the Devine formula; other models exist and have been noted to give similar results.
The IBW is not the perfect fat measurement as it does not show the fat or muscle percentage in one's body.
Machines like the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) can accurately measure the percentage and weight of fat, muscle, and bone in a body.
Participants in sports such as boxing, mixed martial arts, wrestling, rowing, judo, Olympic weightlifting, and powerlifting are classified according to their body weight, measured in units of mass such as pounds or kilograms.
See, e.g., wrestling weight classes, boxing weight classes, judo at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and boxing at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
Ideal body weight, specifically the Devine formula, is used clinically for multiple reasons, most commonly in estimating renal function in drug dosing, and predicting pharmacokinetics in morbidly obese patients.
It was built as a national monument to the first Duke of Wellington (1769–1852), in honour of whom the College is named.
Many former Wellington pupils fought in the trenches during the First World War, a conflict in which 707 of them lost their lives, many volunteering for military service immediately after leaving school.
The school is a member of the Rugby Group, which includes Harrow, Radley, Shrewsbury, and Winchester, and is also a member of the G20 Schools group.
In 1952 a Supplementary Royal Charter extended the privilege of eligibility to the orphan sons of deceased officers of the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Royal Air Force.
By the 1960s, the school was considering becoming co-educational, but for some years the lack of financial resources prevented it from doing so.
A recent change to the scheme of reduced fees early in 2006 extended the privilege to the orphan children of deceased servicemen or servicewomen of Her Majesty's Armed Forces irrespective of rank, and to the orphan children of persons who, in the sole opinion of the Governors, have died in acts of selfless bravery.
For its time, the design of the College was unusual compared to the popular form, but Prince Albert, who assisted in choosing the architect, was more interested in Shaw's classical approach, having already seen the architect's design for the old Royal Naval School in New Cross, London.
There have been several modern buildings, the best of which follow Shaw's grand rococo style: for example, the new Nicholson modern foreign-languages building.
The grounds of the college include a 9-hole golf course, extensive woodland, and many playing fields, particularly those for cricket and rugby.
The grounds contain many unusual ant and spider species, and were frequented by the entomologist Horace Donisthorpe, who collected extensively there.
Notable former pupils include historian P. J. Marshall, Field Marshal Sir Claude Auchinleck, Field Marshal Sir Geoffrey Baker, military historian Sir Michael Howard, clergyman and author Revd.
Wellington College was one of the 21 founding members of the Rugby Football Union, and pupils at the school have historically played schoolboy rugby of the highest standard.
In 2008, the College became the first school to win the Daily Mail Cup at both U15 and U18 level in the same year, beating Millfield School and St Benedict's School, Ealing in their respective finals at Twickenham on 2 April 2008.
In 2014/15 Wellington College 1st XV won the Rugby World School Team of the Year award, in addition to the National Rugby Awards Team of the Year Prize.
A number of Old Wellingtonians play professional rugby union, including: James Haskell (England), Paul Doran-Jones (England), Max Lahiff (Bath), Sam Edgerly and Christian Lewis-Pratt (both England 7s), Max Evans and Thom Evans (Scotland) Brett Herron (Bath), Sam Aspland-Robinson (Harlequins), Seb Adeniran-Olule (Harlequins), Conor Dolan (Wasps), Rory Brand (London Irish), Matt Williams (London Irish), Isaac Curtis-Harris (London Irish), Tom Parton (London Irish) and Madison Hughes (USA 7s).
The school has one of only around 20 racquets courts in the UK, and until recently three Eton Fives courts, now a café bar as part of the sports club.
The school has a clay pigeon shooting range on site, also having its first female captain of shooting in 2016: Amy Cribb.
Wellington College has been named as number one golf college in the UK on a few occasions with wins in 2009 at St Andrews and 2012 at Carnoustie in the Independent Schools Golf Association (ISGA) National Finals.
The channel is operated entirely by students and produces student-related episode-based content every few weeks as well as one-off short films.
WTV debuted at the 2011 Round Square International Conference, where it interviewed former King Constantine II of Greece, Karen Darke, Colin Jackson and Jasmine Whitbread.
In the past, WTV interviewed Ben Goldacre, Alexander Armstrong, AC Grayling and Tim Smit at the 2012 The Sunday Times Festival of Education.
WTV created a James Bond parody featuring Headmaster Anthony Seldon which was featured in an article in the February 2014 edition of Private Eye.
In 2015, as an opening film for the school's Speech Day, WTV created a parody of Pharrell Williams' hit-single 'Happy', which was featured in many national newspapers.
Alongside supporting many of the school's other societies through various documentary-style films, WTV has been acclaimed for its work at the Telegraph Festival of Education with interviews with Gyles Brandreth and Ellie Bamber.
In 2017, WTV produced a film called 'Planet Wellington', feeding off the success of the popular BBC series 'Planet Earth II', for the opening of the 2017 Speech Day.
Similarly to 2017, WTV produced the opening film for Speech Day 2018, 'Speech Day Pitch', in which the Master pushed his vision for the 'Five I's' while the student team continued to bring exclusive coverage of the Pearson Festival of Education with headline interviews with Piers Morgan and Susie Dent.
It was founded by Barry Reilly, teacher at The Wellington Academy, to be a large, collaborative project between the numerous Wellington schools.
The idea was to have a 24-hour radio station for students across the Wellington family to use as a creative outlet, and populate with their own programmes about anything and everything.
The college also traditionally has two teams of field gun runners, and two runs are made annually at the college speech day.
In 2012 field gun teams from the College took part in the British Military Tournament at Earl's Court, including female runners for the first time at the event.
In response to criticism, in 2006, it introduced 'well-being lessons' to the curriculum, in conjunction with a team at Cambridge University.
Each school was required to pay a nominal penalty of £10,000 and all agreed to make ex-gratia payments totalling three million pounds into a trust designed to benefit pupils who attended the schools during the period in respect of which fee information was shared.
However, Mrs Jean Scott, the head of the Independent Schools Council, said that independent schools had always been exempt from anti-cartel rules applied to business, were following a long-established procedure in sharing the information with each other, and were unaware of the change in the law (on which they had not been consulted).
The vast majority are composed of boarders with a small number of day pupils also, although two, Wellesley and Raglan, are day-pupil exclusive.
Each house is either an 'in-house' or an 'out-house': in-houses are located within the main school buildings and quads while out-houses are located elsewhere on the college grounds.
Each house has aspects distinguishing it from other houses, such as its own colours, insignia, and arms (with the arms of each house being incorporated into one of each of the stained glass windows within the college chapel).
The Old Wellingtonian Society was set up to further the interests of the college and its past and present members, and to keep former pupils in touch with each other and with the school.
The Old Wellingtonian Society maintains a register of names of all who have passed through the college since the school's establishment in 1859 and the addresses of all living alumni.
A year after the controversial 1893 elections Whiteway's government was dismissed by the governor Arthur Murray due to petitions alleging corrupt electoral practices.
Green's government promptly passed the Disabilities Removal Act allowing candidates who had been disqualified because of election irregularities in 1893 to seek election again.
A Texas Mr. Basketball in high school, Bosh played one season of college basketball for Georgia Tech before declaring for the 2003 NBA draft.
While at Toronto, Bosh became a five-time NBA All-Star, was named to the All-NBA Second Team once, played for the U.S. national team (with whom he won a gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics), and supplanted former fan favorite Vince Carter as the face and leader of the Raptors franchise.
In the 2006–07 season, Bosh led the Raptors to their first playoff appearance in five years and their first-ever division title.
In 2010, after seven seasons with the Raptors, Bosh entered into a sign-and-trade deal whereby he was traded to the Miami Heat.
Bosh spent the second half of his career with Miami, appearing in the NBA Finals each year from 2011 to 2014 and winning NBA titles in 2012 and 2013.
Notwithstanding the NBA's ruling, Bosh fought to resume his playing career for three years before announcing in February 2019 that he intended to retire.
Seeking to promote sports and education amongst youths in Dallas and Toronto, Bosh set up the Chris Bosh Foundation and regularly speaks to youths about the benefits of reading.
At the early age of four years old, he started learning how to dribble a basketball in the gym where his father played pick-up games.
Since Bosh was always tall for his age, he was accustomed to out-rebounding his peers whenever he played; but he only started learning the game of basketball seriously around fourth grade, doing so at a playground near his grandmother's house.
Growing up, Bosh names his parents as the biggest influence on his personality and considers NBA superstar Kevin Garnett as his favorite athlete, after whom he modeled his play.
The 6-foot-11 teenager helped Lincoln High capture the Class 4A state title as he delivered 23 points and 17 rebounds to go along with 9 blocks.
The University of Florida and University of Memphis among them made serious overtures, but it was Paul Hewitt, coach of Georgia Tech, who made the best impression.
Bosh felt that Hewitt had his best interests at heart and respected his aspiration to play professionally; moreover, he was sufficiently impressed by what he saw of Georgia Tech's transition offense.
Bosh eventually chose to follow the footsteps of his cousin and aunt and attended Georgia Tech to study graphic design and computer imaging, and subsequently, management.
There, he led the Yellow Jackets in averaging 15.6 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 31 games, and led the Atlantic Coast Conference in field goal percentage (.560), joining Antawn Jamison as the only freshmen ever to do so.
Bosh originally intended to complete his degree, but by the end of the 2002–03 season, his strong performances convinced him that he was ready for the NBA.
Bosh said in future interviews that although he misses his college days, he believes he made the right decision to pursue a professional career.
In what is widely regarded as one of the strongest draft classes in NBA history, which included future All-Stars LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Dwyane Wade, Bosh was selected fourth overall by the Toronto Raptors in the 2003 NBA draft and was signed on July 8, 2003.
Prior to his signing, however, other NBA teams made offers for Bosh as they knew Toronto needed a veteran scorer, and Raptors star Vince Carter himself pressed for a trade.
In his rookie season, Bosh was forced to play out of position as the Raptors' starting center after Antonio Davis was traded to the Chicago Bulls.
Bosh—who cited teammate Michael Curry as his mentor—was often praised by his coaches for his heart, and willingness to play through pain and injuries resulting from his lack of body strength compared to some of the league's strong forwards and centers.
Bosh's contributions were not unnoticed by teammates either, as he averaged 11.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, and 33.5 minutes in 75 games, leading all rookies in rebounding and blocks, and setting a franchise record for most rebounds in a rookie season with 557.
With the departure of the disenchanted franchise face of the team, Vince Carter, in December 2004, Bosh was simultaneously anointed as the new leader around whom Toronto would build.
In the remaining games following Carter's departure, the power forward averaged 18.4 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, and 38.1 minutes per game, improving in every major statistical category.
He was awarded his first ever NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games played between January 3 and 9, 2005.
Bosh ended the 2004–05 season as the leading scorer and leading rebounder for the team on 21 and 46 occasions respectively.
Bosh continued to work on his game as he consistently chalked up double doubles, leading the team in scoring, rebounding, and field goal percentage for the first half of the season.
On February 9, 2006, for the first time in his career, Bosh was selected to play in the 2006 NBA All-Star Game in Houston, Texas as a reserve forward for the Eastern Conference.
Bosh's selection was just three days after he was named NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the second time in his career.
Despite a major off-season revamp of the Raptors roster—including the departure of good friends Mike James and Charlie Villanueva—Bosh officially signed a three-year contract extension with a player option for a fourth year on July 14, 2006.
During the same press conference, Bosh also announced a donation of $1,000,000 to a Toronto charity, known as Community Legacy Programs.
After a shaky start to the Raptors' 2006–07 campaign, the Raptors managed to surpass the .500 mark as the All-Star break approached.
Bosh's play and leadership were pivotal to this run and as an increasing recognition of his abilities, on January 25, 2007, he was named an All-Star starter for the East in the 2007 NBA All-Star Game.
This was his first All-Star start and second overall All-Star appearance, having averaged over 22 points and 11 rebounds in the first half of the season.
On January 31, 2007, in a game against the Washington Wizards, Bosh scored a buzzer-beating shot to end the third quarter of the game.
Two days later, Bosh collected 29 points and 11 rebounds against the Los Angeles Lakers, shooting 10-of-10 in the second half.
On March 28, 2007, Bosh became the new franchise record holder for double doubles in a home win against the Miami Heat.
He was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the third time in his career shortly after, having led Toronto to clinch a playoff berth for the first time in five years.
Toronto went on to win its first ever division title, and concluded the regular season with a 47–35 record, including a 30–11 home record, both franchise records.
The series drew much media attention as Carter, who had left Toronto under acrimonious circumstances, was back at the ACC as a Net.
The Raptors won Game 2 at the ACC to tie the series 1–1, as Bosh recorded 25 points and a game-high 13 rebounds.
The Nets won Games 3 and 4 to lead 3–1, but Toronto forced Game 6 when they narrowly won 98–96 in Game 5.
Bosh averaged a double-double with 22.6 ppg and 10.7 rpg for the regular season, both career-highs, and posted 17.5 ppg and 9.0 rpg for the playoffs.
Before the 2007–08 season began, Andrea Bargnani, the number one pick in the 2006 NBA draft, was slated to start at center and Bosh at power forward to form a strong Toronto frontcourt and Jason Kapono, a three-point specialist, was acquired via free agency from the Miami Heat to add offensive firepower; however, as the season unfolded, neither plans materialized as hoped.
Bosh himself had a slow start to the season, but as mid-season approached, his form picked up and he was named Player of the Week for the second week of January.
Bosh missed 15 games throughout the season, but the Raptors still managed to conclude the regular season with a 41–41 record, thus clinching the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference for the 2008 NBA Playoffs.
The first-round series against the Magic was touted as the matchup between two of the league's best young big men in Bosh and Dwight Howard.
To provide Bosh with an experienced frontcourt partner, the Raptors pulled a blockbuster trade prior to the 2008–09 campaign: six-time All-Star Jermaine O'Neal was acquired from the Indiana Pacers.
He averaged 26 points, 10 rebounds and 3.7 assists in his first three games and was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the fifth time in his career.
Despite the move, injuries and weaknesses in the roster meant that the Raptors entered the All-Star break 13 games under .500.
Two weeks later, in a bid to bring in a wing player and create greater salary flexibility, O'Neal and Jamario Moon were traded to Miami for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks.
The trade did not improve the team's win–loss record, however, and the Raptors were eliminated from contention with seven games of the regular season remaining.
The bright spark in Bosh's campaign was his career-high 22.7 points per game, as well as his being one of two players in the league that season (the other being Dwight Howard) to average a 20/10 in points and rebounds.
On April 20, 2009, Colangelo announced that he would offer Bosh a contract extension during the summer, which Bosh later refused to sign.
To prepare for the 2009–10 season, Bosh worked out under Ken Roberson, looking to add 20 pounds and bring his weight up to 250.
Following the failure of the 2008–09 campaign, Colangelo knew that he had to shake up the roster to persuade Bosh to stay, and the Raptors were one of the busiest teams in the pre-season market.
They opened their season with a win against the heavily favored Cleveland Cavaliers, in which Bosh scored 21 points and pulled down 16 rebounds.
Bosh went on a tear, averaging 25.4 points and 11.9 rebounds in the first 16 games, but the Raptors were only able to win seven of those games.
The Raptors crossed into 2010 with a 16–17 record, and on January 3, 2010, Bosh overtook Vince Carter as Toronto's all-time leader in total points scored.
Bosh was the league leader in double doubles at the time, being only one of two players in the league who averaged at least 20 points and 10 rebounds a game.
On January 20, 2010, he scored a career-high 44 points in a loss against the Milwaukee Bucks, while collecting his 220th career double double.
That same month, Bosh was named a reserve for the Eastern Conference All-Star team, and was Eastern Conference Player of the Week.
As the regular season came to a close, the Raptors went from being the fifth seed before the All-Star break to fighting for the eighth and final playoff spot with the Chicago Bulls.
After recording his 44th double double on March 22, 2010, Bosh became the Raptors' all-time leader in number of double doubles in a season.
On April 5, 2010, he was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week, winning the honor for the seventh time in his career (tying Carter for the most in franchise history).
The blowout loss cost Toronto their tie-breaker and ultimately the eighth seed, as the Bulls finished with 41 wins to Toronto's 40.
After the 2009–10 season was over, there was much speculation over whether coveted free agents such as LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Bosh would sign with new teams for the 2010–11 season.
Bosh was active on the social media front, posting his thoughts on Twitter and having a documentary crew record his meetings with the teams interested in signing him.
The Heat managed to go on to compile a 21–1 record, however, and were jostling with the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls for pole position in the Eastern Conference as mid-season approached.
He was slow off the blocks in the Finals against Dallas, shooting below .300 in the first two games, but scored the winning shot in Game 3 to give Miami a 2–1 lead.
On January 5, 2012, Bosh led the Heat to a 116–109 triple overtime win against the Atlanta Hawks, highlighted by a three-point shot he made to force the game into overtime with 0.06 seconds left to play in the fourth quarter.
In Game 1 of the Conference Semifinals against the Indiana Pacers, he suffered a lower abdominal strain that forced him to miss the rest of the series and the first four games of the Eastern Conference Finals against Boston.
He was moved to center for the remainder of the playoffs, while James, who had filled in at power forward during his absence, remained at that position.
Boston pushed Miami to seven games, and in the final game, Bosh scored 19 points, including 3 of 4 shooting from three-point range, to help the Heat advance to their second straight NBA Finals, this time against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Thunder won the first game of the series before Miami rolled to a 4–1 victory, giving Bosh his first NBA Championship.
The Heat achieved the league's best record and swept through the first round of the playoffs against the Milwaukee Bucks before defeating the Chicago Bulls in five games, with Bosh scoring 20 points to go with 19 rebounds in a crucial Game 3 win in Chicago.
Bosh averaged 12.1 points per game throughout the playoffs, as the Heat advanced to the NBA Finals to face the San Antonio Spurs following a grueling seven-game series against Indiana.
The Heat and Spurs split the first two games before the Spurs blew out Miami in Game 3 to take a 2–1 series lead.
In Game 4, Bosh scored 20 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to complement Wade's 32 points and James' 33 points to bolster the Heat's win, tying the series.
In the final seconds of Game 6, James missed a three-pointer, and Bosh grabbed the offensive rebound and found a wide open Ray Allen in the corner.
San Antonio inbounded the ball to Danny Green, who attempted a corner three, but Green's shot was blocked by Bosh to secure the Heat's victory.
Bosh was held scoreless in Game 7 by Tim Duncan, but the Heat still won the game and the series to claim their second consecutive NBA Championship.
In the playoffs, Bosh helped the Heat return to the NBA Finals, where they faced the San Antonio Spurs once again.
On July 30, 2014, Bosh re-signed with the Heat after LeBron James announced he was leaving Miami to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After averaging 21.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals over the first 23 games of the 2014–15 season, Bosh was ruled out indefinitely on December 15 with a strained calf.
After playing in the 2015 All-Star Game, Bosh was admitted to a Miami hospital for lung tests during the All-Star break.
On February 21, 2015, he was ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a blood clot in one of his lungs.
On October 28, 2015, Bosh made his return to the court in the Heat's season opener against the Charlotte Hornets, recording 21 points and 10 rebounds in a 104–94 win.
On December 28, 2015, he recorded 24 points and 12 rebounds against the Brooklyn Nets, and hit a career-best 5-of-5 from three-point range.
On January 4, 2016, he recorded a season-high 31 points and 11 rebounds in a 103–100 overtime win over the Indiana Pacers.
Though he was voted to play in the 2016 NBA All-Star Game, and selected to compete in the Three-Point Contest, due to a calf injury, Bosh was forced to withdraw from both.
He faced increasing pressure from physicians and the Heat organization to sit out the rest of the season because of the potential dangers of the recurring medical condition.
Following the Heat's February 9 game against San Antonio, Bosh did not play any regular-season or playoff games for Miami in 2016.
Bosh was initially optimistic about a return to the Heat for the 2016–17 season, and the organization had become increasingly hopeful that he would be cleared for camp.
In May 2017, Bosh and the Heat reportedly reached a unique agreement in which Bosh would leave the Heat without his salary taking up the team's salary cap space for the 2017–18 season.
On June 2, 2017, the NBA ruled that Bosh's blood clotting issues were a career-ending illness, meaning the Heat would be allowed to remove his contract from their salary cap once they officially released him.
On February 12, 2019, Bosh announced that he was no longer pursuing his NBA career and that he planned to retire from the NBA when his jersey was retired by the Heat.
Bosh's national team career began in 2002 when he was selected as a member of the 2002 USA Basketball Junior World Championship Qualifying Team that finished with a 4–1 record and the bronze medal.
After his NBA career began, Bosh was named in March 2006 to the 2006–2008 United States men's national basketball team program, and helped lead the team to a 5–0 record during its pre-World Championship tour.
Together with fellow 2003 draftees Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Kirk Hinrich, this team competed in the 2006 FIBA World Championship.
During the tournament itself, Bosh operated as the main backup to center Dwight Howard as Team USA went unbeaten in all eight games en route to the gold medal, defeating Spain in the final.
In June 2012, Bosh withdrew his name from consideration for the 2012 Olympics in London to recover from a lower abdominal strain that kept him out of some playoff games.
However, starting in the 2011–12 season, he began to start at center and played the position during the team's consecutive championships.
Listed at 6 ft 11 in (2.11 m) and 235 pounds (107 kg), Bosh possesses excellent speed, athleticism, and ball handling for a player of his size.
He is particularly noted for his ability to drive to the basket and finish strong or get to the free throw line—where he is also proficient—but he is also known for his well-developed jump shot.
When he was the centerpiece of the Raptors' offense, Bosh was often double teamed, and he was noted to unselfishly pass the ball to teammates who were in better shooting positions.
He improved his shooting range when he worked on his three-point shooting during the summer of 2006 and showed improvement in the 2006–07 season.
When the 2006–07 season concluded, Bosh had shot .343 from the three-point arc for the season; he improved to .400 the following season.
Despite his ability to hit three-pointers, it was during his tenure with the Miami Heat that he began to be relied upon as one of the team's outside shooters, taking multiple three-pointers throughout the 2012 and 2013 championship runs.
During the 2013–14 season, Bosh shot and made more three-pointers than at any point during his career, and continued to make crucial shots during the playoffs.
When he was the leader of the Raptors, he was not known for being vocal on the court, preferring to maintain his quiet and humble demeanor but expecting his teammates to match his work ethic.
Throughout his career, comparisons have been made between him and Kevin Garnett due to their similar style of play and physique.
The Foundation, with programs in Toronto and Dallas, has worked closely with organizations such as the Toronto Special Olympics to raise important funding for community projects.
As an avid reader, Bosh also regularly speaks to groups of children about the benefits of reading, and has received the NBA Community Assist Award for his active contributions for the Raptors community development program in Toronto and Dallas during the course of the NBA campaign.
On March 24, 2009, it was reported that Bosh's former girlfriend, Allison Mathis, was seeking child support and sole custody of their daughter, Trinity (born November 2, 2008).
Mathis alleged that when she was seven months pregnant, Bosh stopped supporting her financially and tried to remove her from their home.
Certainly this thing did not get started by anything on our side... She is very distressed that somehow this thing got into the newspapers.
Patricio Aylwin Azócar (; 26 November 1918 – 19 April 2016) was a Chilean politician from the Christian Democratic Party, lawyer, author, professor and former senator.
He was the first president of Chile after dictator Augusto Pinochet, and his election marked the Chilean transition to democracy in 1990.
Despite resistance from elements of the Chilean military and government after his election, Patricio Aylwin was staunch in his support for the Chilean National Commission for Truth and Reconciliation which exposed the Chilean government's brutalities.
An excellent student, he enrolled in the Law School of the University of Chile where he became a lawyer, with the highest distinction, in 1943.
He served as professor of administrative law, first at the University of Chile (1946–1967) and also at the School of Law of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (1952–1960).
They had five children (his daughter Mariana worked as a minister in subsequent governments) and 14 grandchildren (among them, popular telenovela and film actress Paz Bascuñán).
When that party became the Christian Democratic Party of Chile, he served seven terms as its president between 1958 and 1989.
During the government of Popular Unity, headed by Salvador Allende, he was also the president of his party, and he led the democratic opposition to Allende within and without Congress.
Aylwin was president of the Christian Democrats until 1976, and after the death of the party's leader, Eduardo Frei, in 1982, he led his party during the military dictatorship.
He was among the first to advocate acceptance of the Constitution as a reality in order to facilitate the return to democracy.
After the plebiscite, he participated in negotiations that led the government and the opposition to agree on 54 constitutional reforms, thereby making possible a peaceful transition from 16 years of dictatorship to democracy.
Although Chile had officially become a democracy, the Chilean military remained highly powerful during the presidency of Aylwin, and the Constitution ensured the continued influence of Pinochet and his commanders, which prevented his government from achieving many of the goals it had set, such as the restructuring of the Constitutional Court and the reduction of Pinochet's political power.
Pinochet was determined that the military not be punished for its role in overthrowing Allende's government or for the years of military dictatorship.
A tax reform was introduced in 1990 which boosted tax revenues by around 15% and enabled the Aylwin Government to increase government spending on social programs from 9.9% to 11.7% of GDP.
By the end of the Aylwin government, unprecedented resources were being allocated to social programs, including an expanded public health programs, vocational and training programs for young Chileans, and a major public housing initiative.
A new Solidarity and Social Investment Fund was set up to direct aid towards poorer communities, and social spending (especially on health and education) increased by around one-third between 1989 and 1993.
A new labor law was also enacted in 1990, which expanded trade union rights and collective bargaining while also improving severance pay for workers.
The incomes of poor Chileans increased by 20% in real terms (above the rate of inflation) under the Aylwin Government, while increases to the minimum wage meant that it was 36% higher in real terms in 1993 than in 1990.
A slum clearance program was also initiated, with over 100,000 new homes built under the Aylwin Government, compared with 40,000 per annum under the Pinochet Government.
Under the Aylwin government, the numbers of Chileans living in poverty significantly decreased, with a United Nations report estimating that the percentage of the population living in poverty had fallen from around 40% of the population in 1989 to around 33% by 1993.
He was succeeded in 1994 by the election of Christian Democrat Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle, the son of the late President Eduardo Frei.
He was president of the Corporation for Democracy and Justice, a non-profit organization he founded to develop approaches to eliminating poverty and to strengthen ethical values in politics.
Aylwin received honorary degrees from universities in Australia, Canada, Colombia, France, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Spain, and the United States, as well as seven Chilean universities.
In 1997, the Council of Europe awarded the North-South Prize to Aylwin and Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland, for their contributions to fostering human rights, democracy, and cooperation between Europe and Latin America.
His state funeral was held on 22 April 2016 and was buried at Cementerio General de Santiago in the following days.
Over the past five decades there have been a number of adult film actors who have appeared in mainstream films with varying degrees of success.
In the 1970s, adult film actors Marilyn Chambers and Linda Lovelace tried crossing over to mainstream careers, but had little success.
The following list is of pornographic actors and actresses who have appeared in non-pornographic films, including the year they first appeared in a mainstream film.
NAIT provides careers programs in applied research, technical training, applied education, and learning designed to meet the demands of Alberta's technical and knowledge-based industries.
As of 2018, there are approximately 16,000 students in credit programs 12,000 apprentices registered in apprenticeship training, 14,500 students enrolled in non-credit courses, and more than 20,000 registrants for customized corporate based training.
NAIT's four-year baccalaureate degrees (Bachelor of Technology in Technology Management and Bachelor of Technology in Construction Management and Bachelor of Business Administration) were launched in 2007.
In 1959, the Alberta provincial government decided to build an Edmonton facility to supplement apprenticeship and vocational training, which was at the time handled by the Provincial Institute of Technology (PITA) in Calgary.
The new institution would be named the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) and PITA would be renamed the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT).
In February 2019, the Main campus acquired 13.27 hectares of the former Edmonton City Centre Airport with the option for another 3.23 hectares, as well as the 4.8 hectare Westwood Transit Garage to the north.
NAIT was presented this mascot in 1964 by the federal Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources, now Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada.
It is led by a four-person elected Executive Council, and governed by an eighteen-person elected Senate (two representatives from the 9 program groups).
NAITSA is responsible for running the Nest Taphouse Grill, The NAIT Nugget (campus newspaper), campus events, the student health and dental plan, U-Pass and various other services aimed at enhancing student life.
Stanford Shopping Center is an upscale open air shopping mall located on Route 82 (El Camino Real) at Sand Hill Road in Palo Alto, California.
It is on the campus of Stanford University although the university only owns the land and not the actual buildings or stores.
Also, unlike the rest of the campus, the shopping center and the neighboring Stanford University Medical Center are part of the city of Palo Alto, not the census-designated place (CDP) of Stanford, California.
The shopping center buildings are 94.4% owned by Simon Property Group, which manages the property and leases the land from the university.
Retailers at the shopping center include Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., Burberry, Ermenegildo Zegna, and Frette, as well as the first Victoria's Secret retail store.
The Roos Brothers clothing store opened as the first retailer in September 1955 and Blum's restaurant opened on October 22, 1956, marking the completion of the center.
Board of trustees Chair Lloyd Dinkelspiel and university President J. E. Wallace Sterling presided at the opening and Shirley Temple Black cut the first slice of a nine-tiered cake.
Further expansion came again in 1972 with the addition of Los Angeles-based Bullock's, owned by Bloomingdale's parent company Federated Department Stores.
Bullock's only lasted 11 years, closing its northern California stores in 1983 and selling its Stanford location to Nordstrom, which opened in November 1984.
In 1997, the vacant Saks Fifth Avenue building was split into two tenants: Crate & Barrel and an Andronico's gourmet market.
Throughout the years, the center has continued to evolve in terms of both tenants and construction and was managed by the university through its investment affiliate Stanford Management Company since 1991.
However, in 2003, taking advantage of the high prices that shopping centers were fetching, the university's board of trustees agreed to sell the center for $333 million to Simon Property Group which, in turn, leases the underlying land from the university under a 51-year lease.
The new Bloomingdale's opened in 2014, and the original building was demolished to make way for a new wing of retailers.
In early 2019, Simon Malls submitted plans to the city of Palo Alto to tear down the Macy's Men's building and replace it with new buildings for a Restoration Hardware and Wilkes Bashford.
Harrison McCain, CC, ONB (3 November 1927 – 18 March 2004) was a Canadian businessman, co-founder, along with his three brothers of international frozen foods giant McCain Foods Limited.
He was born in Florenceville, New Brunswick, the son of Andrew D McCain, a descendant of a settler from Castlefinn, Donegal, Ireland who became a well-respected seed potato farmer.
After graduating from Acadia University, Harrison (the 3rd son) and his brother Wallace (the 4th son) worked for oil and gas company Irving Oil.
In 1956, on their brother Robert suggestions, Harrison and Wallace with their brothers Robert and Andrew founded one of the first factories to process potatoes, turning them into frozen french fries.
With the benefit of ensured quality and the ability to export long distances with a value added product, the business started growing.
With Harrison's personal and business skills and the close relationship with his brother Wallace, the McCain Foods business eventually grew to over 55 factories worldwide and the number one french fry company in the world.
In the 1990s a prolonged legal dispute between Harrison and Wallace over succession to the company leadership led to the departure of Wallace and his son Michael from McCain Foods.
Harrison McCain was a member of the board of directors of the Bank of Nova Scotia and a close personal friend of the bank's chairman Cedric Ritchie who grew up in the neighboring community of Upper Kent.
Tibetans use rugs for many purposes ranging from flooring to wall hanging to horse saddles, though the most common use is as a seating carpet.
Some aspects of the rug making have been supplanted by cheaper machines in recent times, especially yarn spinning and trimming of the pile after weaving.
The carpet-making industry in Tibet stretches back hundreds if not thousands of years, yet as a lowly craft, it was not mentioned in early writings, aside from occasional references to the rugs owned by prominent religious figures.
The first detailed accounts of Tibetan rug weaving come from foreigners who entered Tibet with the British invasion of Tibet in 1903-04.
Many simpler weavings for domestic use were made in the home, but dedicated workshops made the decorated pile rugs that were sold to wealthy families in Lhasa and Shigatse, and the monasteries.
The monastic institutions housed thousands of monks, who sat on long, low platforms during religious ceremonies, that were nearly always covered in hand-woven carpets for comfort.
Wealthier monasteries replaced these carpets regularly, providing income, or taking gifts in lieu of taxation, from hundreds or thousands of weavers.
From its heyday in the 19th and early 20th century, the Tibetan carpet industry fell into serious decline in the second half of the 20th.
The illegal Chinese invasion of Tibet that began in 1959 was later exacerbated by land collectivization that enabled rural people to obtain a livelihood without weaving, and reduced the power of the landholding monasteries.
Many of the aristocratic families who formerly organized the weaving fled to India and Nepal during this period, along with their money and management expertise.
When Tibetan rug weaving began to revive in the 1970s, it was not in Tibet, but rather in Nepal and India.
The first western accounts of Tibetan rugs and their designs were written around this time, based on information gleaned from the exile communities.
Weaving in the Nepal and India carpet workshops was eventually dominated by local non-Tibetan workers, who replaced the original Tibetan émigré weavers.
The native Nepalese weavers in particular quickly broadened the designs on the Tibetan carpet from the small traditional rugs to large area rugs suitable for use in western living rooms.
This began a carpet industry that is important to the Nepalese economy even to this day, even though its reputation was eventually tarnished by child labor scandals during the 1990s.
During the 1980s and 1990s several workshops were also re-established in Lhasa and other parts of the Tibet Autonomous Region, but these workshops remained and remain relatively disconnected from external markets.
Today, most carpets woven in Lhasa factories are destined for the tourist market or for use as gifts to visiting Chinese delegations and government departments.
Tibetan carpets from the 19th century (perhaps earlier, though mostly carpets from the 19th century survive) are relatively restrained in terms of design and coloring, carpet makers at that time being restricted to a narrow range of natural dyes including madder (red), indigo (blue), Tibetan rhubarb (yellow) and Tibetan walnut (browns and greys), with a few other local plants producing yellow and greenish colors.
Motifs consisted of two classes: the first type being simple geometric motifs such as the checkerboard and gau (amulet) design that probably formed part of an ancient Tibetan design repertoire, mingled with medallion designs and other motifs derived from Chinese decorative traditions.
From the early 1900s a wider range of synthetic colors became available to Tibetan weavers, and this seems to have stimulated the production of new and more complex designs, also based loosely on traditional Chinese motifs.
The period of 1900-1950 saw the production of many colorful new designs featuring dragons, phoenix, floral motifs, clouds and so on.
The interest of western collectors of Tibetan rugs was particularly piqued by tiger rugs, in part because of their associations with Tantric meditation; many Tibetan tiger rugs were gifts for lamas in the monasteries.
In a religious context, tiger rugs are related to the tiger skin loin cloths seen in painted images of fierce (wrathful) Tibetan Buddhist gods.
Tiger design rugs are found in several other carpet cultures, including Khotan rugs to the north, however it is amongst Tibetan weavers that these designs achieve their highest development.
Many Wangden rugs have a looser weave, lower knot count, and a thicker pile than a typical Tibetan carpet, and also sport a thick shaggy fringe.
Today these rugs are woven only in the Wangden valley, in the region south of Shigatse, though their manufacture may have been more widespread at one time.
Dark red Turkish imitations from factories in Qinghai are sold alongside other Chinese rugs and even silk carpets with Middle-eastern designs.
Carpet workships founded by foreigners use wool with longer staple lengths and high lanolin content, which make for a stronger content, but are much more expensive, and have not found much success.
However, as an economic activity, Tibetan rug making provides valuable cash income for rural communities who weave in the winter months.
Several overseas investors and NGOs are trying to encourage a revival of high quality local wool and natural dyes in Tibetan rug making.
Ibrahim Rugova (; 2 December 1944 – 21 January 2006) was the first President of the partially recognised Republic of Kosova, serving from 1992 to 2000 and again from 2002 until his death in 2006, and a prominent Kosovo Albanian political leader, scholar, and writer.
He oversaw a popular struggle for independence, advocating a peaceful resistance to Yugoslav rule and lobbying for U.S. and European support, especially during the Kosovo War.
The LDK, which had the support of 90% of the ethnic Albanian population of Kosovo, advocated for Kosovo's independence by peaceful means.
The party established a shadow government that provided basic government and social services to the Kosovo Albanian population, including education and health care, in effect creating a parallel state.
At this time, the major part of Kosovo was unified with Albania (controlled by Benito Mussolini's Italy since 1941, and later by the Germans since 1943).
Yugoslav control was re-established towards the end of November when the area was liberated by Bulgarian Army and partisans who defeated Albanian collaborators.
He strongly emphasized the heritage of ancient Dardania, an independent kingdom and later-turned Roman province that included modern-day Kosovo, to strengthen the country's identity and to promote his policy of closer relations with the West.
He studied literature at the University of Prishtina and the University of Paris, and received a doctorate with a dissertation on Albanian literary criticism.
As a student, he participated in a civil rights movement for the Albanians, although he formally joined the Communist League of Yugoslavia to secure career advancements.
Thereby, he worked as editor of prestigious literary and scholarly publications and research fellow at the Institute of Albanian Studies; in 1988, he was elected president of the Kosovo Writers Union.
He moved on to the newly established University of Pristina, where he was a student in the Faculty of Philosophy, Department of Albanian Studies and participated in the 1968 Kosovo Protests.
As part of his studies, he spent two years (1976–1977) at the École Pratique des Hautes Études of the University of Paris, where he studied under Roland Barthes.
Rugova managed to make a name for himself, publishing a number of works on literary theory, criticism and history as well as his own poetry.
His output earned him recognition as a leading member of Kosovo's Albanian intelligentsia and in 1988 he was elected chairman of the Kosovo Writers' Union (KWU).
As president, Rugova continued to support his non-violent path to independence even as proponents of an armed resistance formed the Kosovo Liberation Army to counter increasing Serbian oppression on the ethnic Albanians.
In 1998, Rugova secured a second term as president, but was placed at odds with the KLA as the Kosovo War broke out.
In 1999, he participated in the failed Rambouillet talks, as a member of the Kosovar delegation, seeking an end to the hostilities.
Having resided in the capital Pristina during his entire presidency, Rugova was taken prisoner by the state authorities after NATO began its U.S.-led aerial campaign against Yugoslav atrocities in Kosovo.
Rugova was exiled to Rome in May 1999 and returned to Kosovo in the summer that year, shortly after the KLA and NATO occupation.
Rugova remained nominal president of the republic with Bujar Bukoshi as his prime minister; meanwhile, Hashim Thaçi, a former KLA commander, had been leading a provisional government since April that year.
In 2000, Rugova and Thaçi agreed to relinquish their positions and to work on creating provisional institutions of self-government until Kosovo's final status was decided.
While his pre-war popularity had certainly diminished, he remained the most powerful leader in the country until his death from lung cancer in 2006.
Rugova entered politics in 1989, when he assumed the leadership of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), a newly formed political party that opposed the nullification of Kosovo's autonomy in the former Yugoslavia.
In 1992, Rugova won the first presidential election in the Republic of Kosova, an unrecognised state declared in secret by members of Kosovo's former assembly within Yugoslavia.
Serbia, led by Slobodan Milošević, retained effective power in Kosovo throughout most of the 1990s, but did not secure the full cooperation of the Albanian population.
The Republic of Kosova collected donations from Kosovars at home and abroad and set up parallel institutions, including independent, albeit often clandestine, educational and healthcare systems for the ethnic Albanians.
The 1980s saw escalating tension within Kosovo with dissatisfaction by Serbs regarding their treatment at the hands of the Kosovan authorities, and resentment from those same authorities towards the lack of powers devolved to them from Belgrade, Yugoslavia's capital.
An estimated 130,000 Kosovo Albanians were sacked from their jobs and the police in particular were almost completely purged of Albanians There were numerous reports of extrajudicial beatings, torture and killings, attracting strong criticism from human rights groups and other countries.
Milošević's actions were strongly opposed by the Kosovo Albanian political élite (including the local Communist Party now stripped of authorities), by ethnic Albanians and by Milošević's counterparts in Yugoslavia's other republics.
In December 1989, Rugova and a number of other dissents set up the Democratic League of Kosovo as a vehicle for opposing Milošević's policies.
The new party was an overwhelming success and within months, 700,000 people – virtually the entire adult population of Kosovo Albanians – had joined.
The shadow government's activities were mostly funded by the overseas Kosovo Albanian diaspora, based primarily in Germany and the United States.
The Kosovo Albanians boycotted Yugoslav and Serbian elections on the grounds that they would legitimise the Milošević government, they also questioned its veracity.
In May 1992, separate elections were held in Kosovo in which Rugova won an overwhelming majority and was elected President of Kosovo.
Although there were questions about the fairness and propriety of the elections – they were held virtually in secret in Albanians' houses, there were repeated reports of harassment by state security forces, and there were allegations of vote-rigging – it was nonetheless generally accepted that Rugova was the legitimate winner of this election.
By the summer of 1992, Yugoslavia was fully absorbed with the wars in Croatia and Bosnia, and had no spare military capacity to deal with conflicts elsewhere.
Rugova supported Kosovo's independence but strongly opposed the use of force as a means of achieving it, fearing a Bosnia-style bloodbath.
The Serbian and Yugoslav governments subjected LDK activists and members to considerable harassment and intimidation, and argued that the shadow government was an illegal organisation.
The Yugoslav government would have found such a situation difficult to contain at the same time as supporting simultaneous wars in Croatia and Bosnia.
For his part, Rugova stuck to a hard line throughout the 1990s, rejecting any form of negotiation with Serbia's authorities other than on achieving outright independence of Kosovo.
A compromise, or a setback in the eyes of his critics, came in 1996 when he reached an agreement with Serbia over educational facilities, under which the parallel shadow education system would not be integrated with that of Serbia.
Rugova's strategy of passive resistance attracted widespread support from the Kosovo Albanian population, who had seen the carnage wrought in Croatia and Bosnia and was wary of facing a similar situation.
The agreement failed to make any mention of Kosovo and the international community made no serious efforts to resolve the province's ongoing problems.
Radicals among the Kosovo Albanian population began to argue that the only way to break the impasse was to launch an armed uprising, in the belief that this would force the outside world to intervene.
On 1 September 1996 Rugova and Slobodan Milošević signed the Milošević-Rugova education agreement in an attempt to resolve issues regarding the education of Kosovo Albanian children.
By 1998, the KLA had grown into a full-scale guerrilla army, 100,000 Kosovo Albanians were refugees and the province was in a state of virtual civil war.
Rugova was re-elected president in the same year and was awarded the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought by the European Parliament.
This was highlighted in February 1999 when he was passed over in favour of the KLA's political chief Hashim Thaçi, who was chosen by the underground Kosovo Assembly to head the Kosovo Albanian negotiating team in the discussions on the aborted Rambouillet Agreement.
At the end of March 1999, after negotiations at Rambouillet had broken down, NATO launched Operation Allied Force to impose a resolution of the Kosovo War.
At the start of April 1999, Rugova was forcefully taken to Belgrade, where he was shown on Serbian state television meeting Milošević and calling for an end to the war.
Rugova was allowed to leave Kosovo for temporary exile in Italy in early May 1999, not long before the war ended.
He attracted further criticism for his slowness to return to Kosovo – it was not until July that he arrived back in the province.
Despite the political damage suffered by Rugova during the war, he soon regained public esteem and won a decisive victory against his political rivals in the KLA.
The guerrillas had been welcomed as liberators by Kosovo Albanians but subsequently alienated many by the perception that they were engaging in organised crime, extortion and violence against political opponents and other ethnic groups in Kosovo.
On Monday, 4 March 2002, Rugova was appointed as President by the Kosovo Assembly, though this only took place at the fourth attempt after lengthy political negotiations.
As the new President of Kosovo – this time formally acknowledged as such by the international community – Rugova continued to campaign for Kosovo's independence.
His incremental approach was criticised by radicals, but he sought to bring along the supporters of the former KLA; in November 2004, he appointed Ramush Haradinaj, the former commander of the KLA, as Prime Minister.
On 15 March 2005, he escaped —unhurt —an attempted assassination when a bomb exploded in a waste container as his car passed by.
He was readily identifiable by the silk neckscarf that he wore as a display of oppression in Kosovo and was known for his habit of giving visitors samples from his rock collection.
His presents were carefully graded; the size of a crystal could reflect Rugova's feelings about the outcome of a meeting, prompting diplomats to compare notes afterwards about the size of the rocks presented to them.
On 30 August 2005, Rugova left Kosovo and went to the United States Air Force Landstuhl Military Hospital in Germany for medical treatment after earlier treatment in Pristina and Camp Bondsteel, the main US base in Kosovo and the second-biggest in Europe.
On 5 September 2005, he announced that he was suffering from lung cancer, but said that he would not be resigning from the post of President.
He underwent chemotherapy, conducted by U.S. Army doctors, at his residence in Pristina but the treatment failed to resolve the cancer.
He was buried without religious rites on 26 January at a funeral attended by regional leaders and a crowd estimated to number one and a half million people.
These rumors have never been confirmed by his family, nor by any other reliable source, and one of his closest associates, Sabri Hamiti, in an essay published on the first anniversary of his death, refuted them.
On the other hand, Chancellor of the Catholic Church of Kosovo Don Shan Zefi in an interview for Kosovo's national television, said that he had dilemmas whether Rugova converted to Catholicism and that there is no evidence about his conversion and baptism.
Though he had a state funeral service, head of Islamic Community of Kosovo, together with many imams conducted Islamic funeral prayer for the deceased.
His son, Ukë Rugova is also active in Politics and took part as a candidate in the Kosovan Parliamentary elections 2010.
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) maintains a system of state highways to serve the predominant flow of traffic between towns within Connecticut, and to towns in surrounding states.
As of January 1, 2007, the state highway system contains a total of of roads (not including ramps and interchange connections), corresponding to approximately 20% of all roads in the state.
Routes 1, 5, 6, and 7 were used as designations on several primary state highways, replacing New England routes 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
The other New England routes that were not re-designated as U.S. routes became ordinary state highways but kept their number designation, which are used even today (with some realignment).
Roads classified by the Department of Transportation as special service roads are given an unsigned number designation between 400 and 499.
Special service roads are roads that connect a federal or state facility (including state parks and some Interstate Highway interchanges) to a signed state route.
State Roads are state-maintained roads that are usually long entrance/exit ramps to/from an expressway, or short interconnecting roads between signed routes.
This highway numbering system was used throughout New England and consisted of 25 routes (with route numbers from 1 to 32).
A total of 9 of the routes passed through Connecticut (Routes 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 10, 12, 17, and 32).
For route numbers established in 1932, the new numbering system used odd numbers for north-south routes and even numbers for east-west routes, matching the U.S. Highway numbering system.
The New England routes that were grandfathered into the highway system (Routes 8, 10, 12, 32) did not follow the new system.
The state also assigned new route numbers in clusters, with routes in the same general location having numbers close to each other as well.
The state completely abandoned the odd/even numbering scheme established in 1932 with new numbers in 1963 assigned without regard to their direction or general location.
A Halbach array is a special arrangement of permanent magnets that augments the magnetic field on one side of the array while cancelling the field to near zero on the other side.
The rotating pattern of permanent magnets (on the front face; on the left, up, right, down) can be continued indefinitely and have the same effect.
The effect of this arrangement is roughly similar to many horseshoe magnets placed adjacent to each other, with similar poles touching.
Physicist Klaus Halbach, while at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory during the 1980s, independently invented the Halbach array to focus particle accelerator beams.
In fact, any magnetization pattern where the components of magnetization are formula_1 out of phase with each other will result in a one-sided flux.
The mathematical transform which shifts the phase of all components of some function by formula_1 is called a Hilbert transform; the components of the magnetization vector can therefore be any Hilbert transform pair (the simplest of which is simply formula_3, as shown in the diagram above).
Although one-sided flux distributions may seem somewhat abstract, they have a surprising number of applications ranging from the refrigerator magnet through industrial applications such as the brushless AC motor, voice coils, magnetic drug targeting to high-tech applications such as wiggler magnets which are used in particle accelerators and free-electron lasers.
Wherein the Halbach array repels loops of wire that form the track after the train has been accelerated to a speed able to lift.
The extruded magnet is exposed to a rotating field giving the ferrite particles in the magnetic compound a magnetization resulting in a one-sided flux distribution.
This distribution increases the holding force of the magnet when placed on a permeable surface, compared to the holding force from, say, a uniform magnetization of the magnetic compound.
The magnetization vectors in the magnetized sheets rotate in the opposite senses to each other; above, the top sheet's magnetization vector rotates clockwise and the bottom sheet's magnetization vector rotates counter-clockwise.
If each rod is then rotated alternately through 90° the resultant field moves from one side of plane of the rods to the other, as shown schematically in the figure.
This arrangement allows the field to effectively be turned on and off above or below the plane of the rods, depending on the rotation of the rods.
A detailed study of this arrangement has shown that each rod is subject to a strong torque from its neighboring rods, and therefore requires mechanical stabilization.
However, a simple and efficient solution, providing both stabilization and the ability to rotate each rod alternately, is simply to provide an equal gearing arrangement on each rod, as shown in the figure.
A Halbach cylinder is a magnetized cylinder composed of ferromagnetic material producing (in the idealized case) an intense magnetic field confined entirely within the cylinder with zero field outside.
Ideally, these structures would be created from an infinite length cylinder of magnetic material with the direction of magnetization continuously varying.
The magnetic flux produced by this ideal design would be perfectly uniform and be entirely confined to either the bore of the cylinder or the outside of the cylinder.
The difficulty of manufacturing a cylinder with a continuously varying magnetization also usually leads to the design being broken into segments.
However, care has to be taken not to produce a field that exceed the coercivity of the permanent magnets used, as this can result in demagnetization of the cylinder and the production of a much lower field than intended.
This cylindrical design is only one class of designs that produce a uniform field inside a cavity within an array of permanent magnets.
Other classes of design include wedge designs, proposed by Abele and Jensen, in which wedges of magnetized material are arranged to provide uniform field within cavities inside the design as shown.
The direction of magnetization of the wedges in (A) can be calculated using a set of rules given by Abele and allows for great freedom in the shape of the cavity.
Another class of design is the magnetic mangle (B), proposed by Coey and Cugat, in which uniformly magnetized rods are arranged such that their magnetization matches that of a Halbach cylinder, as shown for a 6-rod design.
This design greatly increases access to the region of uniform field, at the expense of the volume of uniform field being smaller than in the cylindrical designs (although this area can be made larger by increasing the number of component rods).
Other very simple designs for a uniform field include separated magnets with soft iron return paths, as shown in figure (C).
Compared to commercially available (Bruker Minispec) standard plate geometries (C) of permanent magnets, they, as explained above, offer a huge bore diameter, while still having a reasonably homogeneous field.
However cylinders can be nested, and by rotating one cylinder relative to the other, cancellation of the field and adjustment of the direction can be achieved.
In the ideal case of infinitely long cylinders, no force would be required to rotate a cylinder with respect to the other.
If the two-dimensional magnetic distribution patterns of the Halbach cylinder are extended to three dimensions, the result is the Halbach sphere.
The magnitude of the uniform field for a sphere also increases to 4/3 the amount for the ideal cylindrical design with the same inner and outer radii.
However, being spherical, access to the region of uniform field is usually restricted to a narrow hole at the top and bottom of the design.
Higher fields are possible by optimising the spherical design to take account of the fact that it is composed of point dipoles (and not line dipoles).
This results in the stretching of the sphere to an elliptical shape and having a non-uniform distribution of magnetization over the component parts of the sphere.
in 1998, and this was increased further to 5 T in 2002, although over a smaller working volume of 0.05 mm.
Therefore, Halbach array coil can produce a relatively high magnetic field at a lower inductance and, thus, higher power factor compared to the conventional coils.
The landing platform docks (LPD) supported a Royal Marines amphibious assault force and provided a platform for the Headquarters capability prior to, and during, the assault phase.
The Squadron included crew for the four LCUs, four LCVPs and the Beach Party, which was equipped with a Land Rover, a Bedford 4-ton truck, two tractor units—one a track layer, the other equipped with a bucket—and a Centurion BARV.
The squadron also had duties aboard, (ensuring equipment and troops got to shore as they were needed), radio operators and administration.
Built in Belfast at the Harland and Wolff yard, she was launched in 1963 before undergoing trials and commissioning in 1965.
Following commissioning, her first operational tasking was acting as a command platform for British Counter-Terrorism operations in Aden, operating Royal Air Force aircraft and the Irish Guards prior to the British withdrawal as Flag of a 25 platform task group.
Following the Aden experiences, she was the venue for talks between Harold Wilson and Ian Smith in 1968, over the future of Rhodesia.
Fitted with modern satellite communications equipment, it hosted the staff of amphibious force commander Commodore Michael Clapp (Commodore Amphibious Warfare (COMAW)), and Commanding Officer 3 Commando Brigade, Brigadier Julian Thompson and his staff, as well as elements of the landing force.
As a result of the conflict, Royal Marine Coxswain Corporal Alan White received a commendation from the Task Force Commander, Admiral Sir John Fieldhouse, for his part in rescuing 41 crew from using Foxtrot 7, one of four LCVP landing craft carried by Fearless.
Foxtrot 7 is now located in the Royal Marines Museum in Portsmouth, with detailed accounts from Corporal Alan White of the missions he took part in, including the landings at San Carlos.
She was placed out of commission for three years in 1985 prior to a two-year refit at Devonport, recommissioning in 1991.
During this refit, her 1940s-vintage 40mm Bofors cannon and 1960s-vintage Sea Cat anti-aircraft missile launchers were replaced by 20 mm BMARC and Phalanx CIWS guns.
From 1991 until 1995 she supported the sea training phase of initial officer training, undertaken at Britannia Royal Naval College, as part of the Dartmouth Training Squadron.
This was the first warship successfully exported for recycling by any western government that fully complied with international agreements and the principles concerning environmentally sound management of waste.
Based in HM Naval Base, Devonport, Plymouth, Devon and HM Naval Base Portsmouth, she saw service around the world over her 32-year life.
In the process of being decommissioned for sale, she was rapidly returned to service to sail as part of the British operation to retake the Falkland Islands after the Argentine invasion in 1982.
She landed troops in amphibious assaults on the Islands and the Argentine surrender was signed on her deck at the conclusion of the Falklands War.
The LPDs provided support to a Royal Marines amphibious assault force and provided a platform for the Headquarters capability prior to, and during, the assault phase.
She was built in Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, at the John Brown & Company yard and was launched in 1964 before undergoing trials and commissioning in 1967.
She came under heavy air attack once again during the operation, and was the main participant in the landings at Bluff Cove on 6 June.
From June 1985 until 1990 she supported the sea training phase of initial officer training, undertaken at Britannia Royal Naval College, as part of the Dartmouth Training Squadron.
This happened because in the late 1960s and very early 1970s, the strength of the Royal Marines had been cut severely by the then Labour government (Harold Wilson) and the Marines were unable to fulfill a number of the amphibious liaison posts on board the ships.
Having been previously suggested as potential diving site on the south coast, various veterans of the Falklands War started a petition on the 10 Downing Street website to preserve the ship as a memorial to the conflict.
Route 34 is long, and extends from Washington Avenue near I-84/US 6 in Newtown to the junction of I-95 and I-91 in New Haven.
The mile-long expressway segment, the Oak Street Connector, is planned to be rerouted to city streets as part of the New Haven Downtown Crossing project.
Route 34 begins as the two-lane Berkshire Road in the Sandy Hook section of the town of Newtown, as a continuation of Washington Avenue (a town road).
The road crosses under I-84 after a tenth of a mile, then intersects after another with Wasserman Way (SSR 490), which leads to ramps to/from I-84 at Exit 11.
The road then heads east towards the Stevenson section of the town of Monroe, where the road name changes to Roosevelt Drive at the town line.
After intersecting Route 111 (leading to Monroe center), Route 34 crosses the Housatonic River via the Stevenson Dam Bridge into the town of Oxford.
Route 34 soon enters the city of Derby, where it becomes Main Street after the intersection with Bridge Street ('State Road 712'), which leads to Route 110 in downtown Shelton.
It intersects Route 115 (for Ansonia and Seymour center) right after the bridge then turns southward as New Haven Avenue as it continues towards the town of Orange.
In Orange, the road becomes Derby Turnpike and has intersections with Route 121 (for Milford) and Route 152 for Orange center.
Soon after, the road downgrades to an undivided four lane road and crosses into New Haven where the road name changes to Derby Avenue.
Eastbound Route 34 turns onto Legion Avenue, later becoming South Frontage Road (former Oak Street), while westbound Route 34 uses North Frontage Road.
The corresponding westbound section along North Frontage Road is officially designated as State Road 706 but is signed as Route 34 West.
The mainline of Route 34 is designated on the ramps for I-95 north and officially ends at the northbound I-95 merge.
Route 34 westbound from its westbound entrances until Orchard Street is notorious for excessive speeding, as people often go much faster than the posted speed limits of 30 MPH and 25 MPH (respectively) on this section of roadway.
It ran from downtown New Haven, beginning at York Street, and followed Chapel Street to Derby Avenue, which connected to modern Route 34 and continued to downtown Derby.
West of downtown Derby, another turnpike corporation, the Ousatonic Turnpike, was chartered also in 1795 to build a toll road between Derby and New Milford following the east bank of the Housatonic River.
In 1834, the northern half of the remaining portion (north of the present Stevenson Dam) was given to another company, the River Turnpike Company, to try to make the road profitable.
In 1841, however, the River Turnpike road reverted to the Ousatonic, and the Ousatonic company itself was dissolved the following year in 1842.
The portion of the old Ousatonic road north of Stevenson Dam is now mostly submerged as a result of the damming of the Housatonic to form Lake Zoar and Lake Lillinonah.
In 1922, when route numbers were first publicly signed in the New England region, the route from New Haven to the village of Sandy Hook was designated as State Highway 117.
The road followed the Derby Turnpike and the remaining portion of the Ousatonic Turnpike to the village of Stevenson, then the rest of modern Route 34 to Sandy Hook.
In the 1932 state highway renumbering, old Highway 117 was renumbered to Route 34 with an additional westward extension to the city of Danbury.
At the time, Route 34 overlapped with US 6 into the borough of Newtown, then used modern Route 302 to Bethel and modern Route 53 to downtown Danbury.
In December 2008, the City of New Haven received nine proposals for design/engineering services for the planned boulevardization of the Downtown New Haven (limited access) section of Route 34.
Plans for redeveloping the highway's western section in New Haven (in a neighborhood also demolished for a limited access highway, but where the highway was never built) have undergone significant public discussion as part of the City of New Haven's MDP process for re-using the of empty land.
In May 2013, phase one of the New Haven Downtown Crossing project began, intending to reroute Route 34 away from the freeway segment in New Haven onto widened frontage roads.
New bridges are also planned to reconnect streets disconnected by the highway, providing bike lanes and sidewalks, as well as pedestrian access to adjacent development.
Operation Corona was a Royal Air Force (RAF) initiative to confuse German nightfighters during RAF bomber raids on German cities during World War II.
Both native speakers and people who could speak German to a standard where they could be taken for a native speaker impersonated German Air Defence officers.
They initiated communications via radio with German nightfighter pilots and countermanded previously given orders, thus reducing the efficiency of German air defence.
The operation was launched during a bombing raid on the German industrial center of Kassel on the night of 22 October to 23 October 1943 in which 90% of the city was burned, leaving 10,000 dead and 150,000 homeless.
These people were very valuable to RAF Bomber Command, since between them they natively spoke any German accent and hence were capable of countermanding the orders given from the senior German officers in the Air Defence headquarters, and so could redirect the nightfighters to other targets or give them orders to land immediately at an airbase.
The Sleeping Giant is a formation of mesas and sills on Sibley Peninsula which resembles a giant lying on its back when viewed from the west to north-northwest section of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.
One Ojibway legend identifies the giant as Nanabijou, who was turned to stone when the secret location of a rich silver mine now known as Silver Islet was disclosed to white men.
It was voted number one for a list of Seven Wonders of Canada, with a total of 177,305 votes, beating the Bay of Fundy and Niagara Falls by almost 90 000 votes.
Ultimately it was not selected by the panel of judges, Ra McGuire, Roberta Jamieson and Roy MacGregor, who decided their vote by geographic and poetic criteria.
Sleeping Giant (also known as Mount Carmel) is a rugged traprock mountain with a high point of , located north of New Haven, Connecticut.
A prominent landscape feature visible for miles, the Sleeping Giant receives its name from its anthropomorphic resemblance to a slumbering human figure as seen from either the north or south.
The highest point is the Left Hip, , followed by the Chest, , and the Left Knee and Right Leg, each, and so on.
A stone observation tower located on the Left Hip, built by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s, offers 360° views of the surrounding Mill and Quinnipiac River valleys.
An old rock quarry, closed since 1933 and now part of the state park, has left scars on the Giant's Head.
It is part of the narrow, linear Metacomet Ridge that extends from Long Island Sound north through the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts to the Vermont border.
The west side of Sleeping Giant drains into the Mill River thence to New Haven Harbor and Long Island Sound; the east side into the Quinnipiac River, thence to New Haven Harbor and Long Island Sound.
Sleeping Giant, a fault-block ridge that formed 200 million years ago during the Triassic and Jurassic periods, is composed of traprock, also known as basalt, an extrusive volcanic rock.
Basalt is a dark colored rock, but the iron within it weathers to a rusty brown when exposed to the air, lending the ledges a distinct reddish appearance.
The basalt cliffs are the product of several massive lava flows hundreds of feet deep that welled up in faults created by the rifting apart of North America from Eurasia and Africa.
Subsequent erosion wore away the weaker sedimentary layers at a faster rate than the basalt layers, leaving the abruptly tilted edges of the basalt sheets exposed, creating the distinct linear ridge and dramatic cliff faces visible today.
One way to imagine this is to picture a layer cake tilted slightly up with some of the frosting (the sedimentary layer) removed in between.
Because the ridge generates such varied terrain, it is the home of several plant and animal species that are state-listed or globally rare.
According to Native Americans of the Quinnipiac Tribe, the giant stone spirit Hobbomock (or Hobomock), a prominent wicked figure in many stories (see Pocumtuck Ridge and Quinnipiac), became enraged about the mistreatment of his people and stamped his foot down in anger, diverting the course of the Connecticut River (where the river suddenly swings east in Middletown, Connecticut after several hundred miles of running due south).
To prevent him from wreaking such havoc in the future, the good spirit Keitan cast a spell on Hobbomock to sleep forever as the prominent man-like form of the Sleeping Giant.
During the mid-19th century, spurred by the painters of the Hudson River School and transcendentalist philosophers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, an interest in mountains as a respite from industrialization and urbanization took hold in New England.
Conservation of the Giant began in 1924 with the creation of the Sleeping Giant Park Association (SGPA) by a group of local residents concerned with ongoing traprock quarrying on the Giant's head.
A cottage owner, Judge Willis Cook, had leased his property to the Mount Carmel Traprock Company for the purpose of quarrying traprock for building materials.
The blasting away of what was a beloved landscape feature resulted in public outrage, well reported by local newspapers at the time.
Under the leadership of James W. Toumey, a Yale University forestry professor, the SGPA undertook a ten-year struggle with the traprock operation.
The property was purchased by the SGPA in 1933, during the Great Depression, for $30,000; the money was raised through private donations and the property became the Sleeping Giant State Park.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 as part of the Connecticut State Park and Forest Depression-Era Federal Work Relief Programs Structures.
On May 15, 2018, a severe microburst caused significant damage to the park, forcing officials to close the park for an unspecified period of time.
The damage was initially assumed to be from a tornado, but the National Weather Serviced determined that the tornado ended just west of Sleeping Giant State Park and had transitioned to a 100-mph microburst by the time it reached the park.
The clifftops offer long views of much of New Haven County and some of Hartford County over more than 270 degrees of the compass, and (atmospheric conditions permitting) across Long Island Sound to the Shoreham area on Long Island.
Trails specifically designed for horseback riding and cross-country skiing are located on the lower reaches of the Giant, and fishing is allowed in the abutting Mill River.
The Quinnipiac Trail—the oldest trail in the blue blazed trail system managed by the Connecticut Forest and Park Association—traverses the length of the Giant from the Quinnipiac River west over the Giant's high points to the Mill River then continues north over West Rock Ridge and Mount Sanford.
The trails and facilities on Sleeping Giant are collaboratively maintained by the Sleeping Giant Park Association and the State of Connecticut, with the bulk of the trail maintenance done by the association.
The SGPA has also been instrumental in defeating attempts to log the Giant, build communications towers on its summits, and close the state park altogether.
The Connecticut Forest and Park Association also has a working investment in the conservation of the Giant and trail building on it.
The Anatolian Plate or the Turkish Plate is a continental tectonic plate comprising most of the Anatolia (Asia Minor) peninsula (and the country of Turkey).
This convergence manifests in compressive features within the oceanic crust beneath the Mediterranean as well as within the continental crust of Anatolia itself, and also by what are generally considered to be subduction zones along the Hellenic and Cyprus arcs.
Research indicates that the Anatolian Plate is rotating counterclockwise as it is being pushed west by the Arabian Plate, impeded from any northerly movement by the Eurasian Plate.
It is now being squeezed by the Arabian Plate from the east and forced toward the west as the Eurasian Plate to its north is blocking motion in that direction.
While ketosis refers to any elevation of blood ketones, ketoacidosis is a specific pathologic condition that results in changes in blood pH and requires medical attention.
The most common cause of ketoacidosis is diabetic ketoacidosis but can also be caused by alcohol, medications, toxins, and rarely starvation.
If the mechanisms that control ketone production fail, ketone levels may become dramatically elevated and cause dangerous changes in physiology such as a metabolic acidosis.
A lack of insulin in the bloodstream allows unregulated fatty acid release from adipose tissue which increases fatty acid oxidation to acetyl CoA, some of which is diverted to ketogenesis.
Alcoholic ketoacidosis is caused by complex physiology that is usually the result of prolonged and heavy alcohol intake in the setting of poor nutrition.
An additional stressor such as vomiting or dehydration can cause an increase in counterregulatory hormones such as glucagon, cortisol and growth hormone which may further increase free fatty acid release and ketone production.
Ketoacidosis from starvation, most commonly occurs in the setting of an additional metabolic stressor such as pregnancy, lactation, or acute illness.
Ketones are primarily produced from free fatty acids in the mitochondria of liver cells.The production of ketones is strongly regulated by insulin and an absolute or relative lack of insulin underlies the pathophysiology of ketoacidosis.
Insulin is a potent inhibitor of fatty acid release, so insulin deficiency can cause an uncontrolled release of fatty acids from adipose tissue.
This can occur during states of complete insulin deficiency (such as untreated diabetes) or relative insulin deficiency in states of elevated glucagon and counter-regulatory hormones (such as starvation, heavy chronic alcohol use or illness).
Certain populations are predisposed to develop ketoacidosis including people with diabetes, people with a history of prolonged and heavy alcohol use, pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children, and infants.
People with diabetes that produce very little or no insulin are predisposed to develop ketoacidosis, especially during periods of illness or missed insulin doses.
Pregnant women have high levels of hormones including glucagon and human placental lactogen that increase circulating free fatty acids which increases ketone production.
These populations are at risk of developing ketoacidosis in the setting of metabolic stressors such as fasting, low-carbohydrate diets, or acute illness.
Children and infants have lower glycogen stores and may develop high levels of glucagon and counter-regulatory hormones during acute illness, especially gastrointestinal illness.
He was regarded as having been one of the most prominent theorists of Minimalism along with Donald Judd but he also made important contributions to the development of performance art, land art, the Process Art movement, and installation art.
In 2013 as part of the October Files, MIT Press published a volume on Morris, examining his work and influence, edited by Julia Bryan-Wilson.
He then studied art at both the University of Kansas and at Kansas City Art Institute as well as philosophy at Reed College .
After moving to New York City in 1959 to study sculpture, he received a master's degree in art history in 1963 from Hunter College.
While living in California, Morris also came into contact with the work of La Monte Young, John Cage, and Warner Jepson with whom he and first wife Simone Forti collaborated.
The idea that art making was a record of a performance by the artist (drawn from Hans Namuth’s photos of Pollock at work) in the studio led to an interest in dance and choreography.
During the 1950s, Morris' furthered his interest in dance while living in San Francisco with his wife, the dancer and choreographer Simone Forti.
In 1963 he had an exhibition of Minimal sculptures at the Green Gallery in New York that was written about by Donald Judd.
The following year, also at Green Gallery, Morris exhibited a suite of large-scale polyhedron forms constructed from 2 x 4s and gray-painted plywood.
By the late 1960s Morris was being featured in museum shows in America but his work and writings drew criticism from Clement Greenberg.
His work became larger scale taking up the majority of the gallery space with series of modular units or piles of earth and felt.
In 1971 Morris designed an exhibition for the Tate Gallery that took up the whole central sculpture gallery with ramps and cubes.
In 2002, Morris designed a set of seventeen pale blue and beige-coloured stained-glass windows for the medieval Maguelone Cathedral, near Montpelier in France.
The windows, which depict the ripples of a pebble dropped in water, were produced by Ateliers Duchemin glassmakers and placed in restored romanesque window lights around the cathedral building.
Critic Amelia Jones argued that the body poster was a statement about hyper-masculinity and the stereotypical idea that masculinity equated to homophobia.
(…) his theater is one of negation: negation of the avant-gardist concept of originality, negation of logic and reason, negation of the desire to assign uniform cultural meanings to diverse phenomena; negation of a worldview that distrusts the unfamiliar and the unconventional.
Winkenweder then cites the mockery to which Morris' critics are subjected in his absurdist satire, as bricks are hurled at each of Denson's questions.
Body Bob threw the I-Box at the Major who then bent Stagette out of shape with the Corner Piece and Blind smeared cup grease on Dirt Macher's … wait a minute, Ignatz.
You started this bedlam by throwing bricks at everyone, I bet...Get Body Bob out of that Kraut helmet immediately…No, I did not give it to Lil Dahlink Felt with the Card File.
Numerous museums have hosted solo exhibitions of his work, including the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York (1970), the Art Institute of Chicago (1980), the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and the Newport Harbor Art Museum (1986), and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. (1990).
In 1994, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, organized a major retrospective of the artist’s work, which traveled to the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg and the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris.
When a collector, the architect Philip Johnson, did not pay Morris for a work he had ostensibly purchased, the artist drew up a certificate of deauthorization that officially withdrew all aesthetic content from his piece, making it nonexistent as art.
Mr. Peanut was the advertising logo and mascot of Planters, an American snack-food company and division of Kraft Heinz based in Chicago, Illinois.
He was depicted as an anthropomorphic peanut in its shell dressed in the formal clothing of an old-fashioned gentleman: top hat, monocle, white gloves, spats, and a cane.
Planters Peanut Company was founded in 1906, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, by Amedeo Obici and was incorporated two years later as the Planters Nut and Chocolate Company.
After Gentile's design was chosen, the commercial artist Andrew S. Wallach added the monocle, top hat, and cane to create the iconic image.
While Gentile's family originally received five dollars for winning the contest, Obici befriended them and paid Antonio’s, and four of his siblings', way through college.
After Obici paid Antonio's way through medical school, he became a doctor in Newport News, where he died of a heart attack in 1939.
There is a disputed claim that Frank P. Krize Sr., a Wilkes-Barre artist and head of the Suffolk plant, made the additions of the monocle, top hat and cane.
In 2006, Planters conducted an online contest to determine whether to add a bow tie, cufflinks, or a pocketwatch to Mr. Peanut.
On January 22, 2020, Planters released a teaser for its Super Bowl LIV commercial featuring Mr. Peanut, Wesley Snipes and Matt Walsh.
The trio were shown hanging onto a branch after accidentally driving the Nutmobile off a cliff, with Mr. Peanut electing to let go and fall to his presumed death onto the Nutmobile, which then suddenly explodes.
Planters suspended the campaign shortly after the death of Kobe Bryant in a helicopter crash on January 26; it plans on resuming the campaign with the Super Bowl commercial.
The NAIA Division I Women's Basketball National Championship Tournament is held at the Rimrock Auto Arena at MetraPark in Billings, Montana and has been played there since in 2012.
The NAIA was the only international intercollegiate athletic association in North America; the NAIA DI Women's Basketball Championship was the first championship to feature a college from outside the United States in the championship game.
The NAIA Division II Women's Basketball National Championship Tournament is held annually, currently at the Tyson Events Center and Gateway Arena in Sioux City, Iowa.
The NAIA announced in April 2018 that it would discontinue its Division II basketball championships for both men and women after the 2019–20 season.
Bagger moved with her family to Australia in 1979, when she was twelve and started to again play golf fully in 1998, first as an amateur player, then turning professional in 2003.
In 2004, by playing in the Women's Australian Open, she became the first openly transitioned woman to play in a professional golf tournament.
She also became the first trans woman to qualify for the Ladies European Tour in 2004, also becoming the first high-profile transitioned woman to qualify for a professional sports tour since Renee Richards joined the Women's Tennis Association tour during the 1970s.
Through her efforts, many professional golf organizations have amended their practices, but the policies generally still constrict rules of gender variance, and view atypically gendered women as something other than women.
She was open about her life and played in various amateur events around Adelaide and was invited to join the women's South Australian State Squad.
All organizations that prevented her from competing had never actually done any research but had merely adopted a blanket ruling without question.
Bagger answered that many people are not aware of physiological aspects of gender variant conditions and the issues related to transitioning.
This led to a front-page story in Sydney, which prompted Bagger to hold a news conference the day before the tournament to answer questions and present information on transitioned and transgender people.
At Bagger's first tournament as a professional, Laura Davies and Rachel Teske were among players who were happy to allow Bagger to compete.
Bagger caused a media stir in 2004 when she played the Australia Women's Open and had intentions also of joining the Australian Ladies Professional Golf Tour (ALPG Tour).
The 2004 ruling by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) regarding transitioned athletes led to a re-examination of rules in many sports.
In September 2004, after continued lobbying by Bagger, the Ladies European Tour voted on amending their membership entry criteria, allowing Bagger to compete on tour.
Later that year, the ALPG also voted in favour of changing their constitution to remove the 'female at birth' clause, thus making Bagger eligible to join the ALPG Tour in Australia.
On 9 February 2005, the Ladies Golf Union also announced a policy change allowing Bagger to compete in the Women's British Open.
On 21 March 2005, the United States Golf Association announced it adopted a new 'gender policy' that allows transitioned athletes to compete in USGA golf championships, including the upcoming U.S. Women's Open.
Bagger, along with a few high-profile athletes and a growing number of medical professionals and researchers around the world, continue to lobby the IOC, IAAF, WADA et al.
Bagger also shares that many of these decisions are made by popular vote of members, often professionals in their sport, who are not doctors or medical professionals, and have no relevant medical training.
Planters is an American snack food company, a division of Kraft Heinz based in Chicago, best known for its processed nuts and for the Mr. Peanut icon that symbolizes them.
Peruzzi had developed his own method of blanching whole roasted peanuts, doing away with the troublesome hulls and skins; and so with six employees, two large roasters, and crude machinery, Planters was founded.
Amedeo Obici believed that prices and first profits were as important as repeat business, focusing his operation on quality and brand name for continued success.
By 1913, Obici had moved to Suffolk, Virginia, the peanut capital of the world, and opened Planters' first mass production plant and facility there.
The trio were shown hanging onto a branch after accidentally driving the Nutmobile off a cliff, with Mr. Peanut electing to let go and fall to his presumed death, and the Nutmobile on the ground suddenly exploding.
The Kassel World War II bombings were a set of Allied strategic bombing attacks which took place from February 1942 to March 1945.
In a single deadliest raid on 22–23 October 1943, 150,000 inhabitants were bombed-out, at least 10,000 people died, the vast majority of the city center was destroyed, and the fire of the most severe air raid burned for seven days.
It can aid in representing the competitive equilibrium of a simple system or a range of such outcomes that satisfy economic efficiency.
In the latter case, it serves as a precursor to the bargaining problem of game theory that allows a unique numerical solution.
Imagine two people (Octavio and Abby) with a fixed amount of resources between the two of them — say, 10 liters of water and 20 hamburgers.
If Abby takes 4 liters of water and 5 hamburgers, then Octavio is left with 6 liters of water and 15 hamburgers.
The Edgeworth box is a rectangular diagram with Octavio's origin on one corner (represented by the 'O') and Abby's origin on the opposite corner (represented by the 'A').
The width of the box is the total amount of one good, and the height is the total amount of the other good.
Hence Abby is indifferent between one combination of goods and another on any one of her indifference curves, and the same is true for Octavio.
For example, Abby might value 1 liter of water and 13 hamburgers the same as 5 liters of water and 4 hamburgers, or 3 liters and 10 hamburgers.
There are an infinite number of such curves that could be drawn among the combinations of goods for each consumer (Octavio or Abby).
With Octavio's origin (the point representing zero of each good) at the lower left corner of the Edgeworth box and with Abby's origin at the upper right corner, typically Octavio's indifference curves would be convex to his origin and Abby's would be convex to her origin.
When an indifference curve for Abby crosses one of the indifference curves for Octavio at more than one point (so the two curves are not tangent to each other), a space in the shape of a lens is created by the crossing of the two curves.
Any point in the interior of this lens represents an allocation of the two goods between the two people such that both people would be better off than at the corners of the lens, since the interior point is on an indifference curve farther from both of their respective origins, and thus, each individual achieves a higher utility.
Wherever one of these curves for Abby happens to be tangent to a curve of Octavio's, a combination of the two goods is identified that yields both consumers a level of utility that could not be improved for one person by a reallocation without decreasing the utility of the other person.
The set of tangential points of contact between pairs of indifference curves, if all traced out, will form a trace connecting Octavio's origin (O) to Abby's (A).
This curve connecting points 'O' and 'A', which will not in general be a straight line, is called the Pareto set or the efficient locus, since each point on the curve is Pareto optimal.
The entire Pareto set is sometimes called the contract curve, while Mas-Colell, Winston, and Green (1995) restrict the definition of the contract curve to only those points on the Pareto set which make both Abby and Octavio at least as well off as they are at their initial endowment.
Other authors who have a more game theoretical bent, such as Martin Osborne and Ariel Rubinstein (1994), use the term core for the section of the Pareto set which is at least as good for each consumer as the initial endowment.
In order to calculate the Pareto set, the slope of the indifference curves for both consumers must be calculated at each point.
That slope is the negative of the marginal rate of substitution, so since the Pareto set is the set of points where both indifference curves are tangent, it is also the set of points where each consumer's marginal rate of substitution is equal to that of the other person.
An example of its use might be to quantitatively compare two pieces of paper which appear white viewed individually, but not when juxtaposed.
The numbers in the subscript indicate the observer: two for the CIE 1931 standard observer and ten for the CIE 1964 standard observer.
Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT) is an institution of higher education in Limerick, Ireland and is one of 14 member institutions of the Technological Higher Education Association (THEA).
The Institute has campuses in Limerick city, one in both Thurles and Clonmel in County Tipperary and a regional learning centre in Ennis, County Clare.
The main campus is located at Moylish Park adjacent to Thomond Park and houses the Faculty of Applied Science, Engineering and Technology and the School of Business and Humanities.
LIT offers courses at Level 6 (certificate) through Level 10 (PhD) whilst also catering for craft apprentices and adult and continuing education.
The Limerick Athenaeum was part of an international movement for the promotion of artistic and scientific learning, started by John Wilson Croker at the Athenaeum Club in London in 1823.
The trustees of the Limerick Athenaeum handed the building over to Limerick Corporation in 1896 in order to administer the property for the advancement of artistic and technical education in Limerick.
This brought the tradition of fusing artistic and technical education into the public domain, a tradition that has been retained and refined by LIT.
By the 1970s, it had grown to such a degree that a new campus had to be acquired in Moylish for technical education, with artistic education continuing in a number of locations in the city centre.
The institute was constituted as Limerick College of Art, Commerce and Technology (Limerick CoACT) in 1980, became a Regional Technical College in 1993 and an Institute of Technology in 1997.
Moylish has developed into the main campus of Limerick Institute of Technology, with Limerick School of Art and Design fully located in its Clare Street Campus since 2008.
This merger brought LIT’s distinctive educational ethos to two new campus locations in Thurles and Clonmel and increased the institution’s footprint across the region.
In 2017, the institute was granted planning permission for a new campus at Coonagh in Limerick, to be focused on teaching and research in engineering.
Mr Pat MacDonagh served as head of the college from 1978, through its evolution to an RTC and Institute of Technology, he resigned as director in 2003.
The Development Office works with the Registrar and Heads of School/Department to address the widening participation agenda in the broadest sense from Level 6 to Level 10 as per the National Framework of Qualifications by piloting new initiatives and then assisting to mainstream these initiatives within LIT.
The Development Office activity includes: enhancing R&D and Technology Transfer; managing relationships with second level education providers; Lifelong Learning; and liaison with enterprise and employment development agencies in the Mid-West region.
Client companies can rent office suites and avail of management development supports, including one-to-one business coaching, peer networking and research collaboration.
The centre works with enterprise support agencies, including Enterprise Ireland and County & City Enterprise Boards and is a Microsoft BizSpark Network Partner.
The Shannon Applied Biotechnology Centre (SABC) is based on the main campus and is a joint venture between LIT and the Institute of Technology, Tralee.
Most recently, LIT's mens basketball team won All Ireland Division 3 championship in 2016, and All Ireland Division 2 championship in 2019.
The Institute senior hurling team captured the Fitzgibbon Cup in 2005 and 2007 and the senior rugby team captured the All-Ireland Colleges Championship in 1998, 1999 and 2005.
It caters for all students, past and present interested in non-competitive activities such as Hillwalking, Orienteering, Mountaineering, Canoeing/Kayaking, Rock Climbing, Windsurfing, Surfing, Caving, Sailing and Mountain Biking.
LIT has a number of sports related courses with programmes in Strength & Conditioning being run at its Thurles campus, in partnership with the online sports college Setanta College, and the Department of Humanities offers a Level 8-degree in Business Studies with Sports Management.
The Millennium Theatre is located at Moylish Park and is host to a variety of live entertainment, concerts, recitals, drama, comedy and dance, with a capacity of 400.
The Fremont Troll (also known as The Troll, or the Troll Under the Bridge) is a public sculpture in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, Washington in the United States.
In 1990, the Fremont Arts Council launched an art competition whose partial goal was to rehabilitate the area under the bridge, which was becoming a dumping ground and haven for drug dealers.
In 2011 the Fremont Arts Council licensed a Chia Pet based on the Fremont Troll that was sold at a local drug store chain.
However, in this story, no goats ever cross the troll's bridge and he is forced to survive on fish that he catches from the river.
Meanwhile, the pirate captain Hank Chief and his crew (Peg Polkadot, Ben Buckle, and Percy Patch) are searching for the treasure that is marked on their map, but are unable to locate the correct island.
Eventually, the troll reaches the sea and realises that he has been tricked by the other animals; he sees what he thinks are goat tracks in the sand and sets about laying a trap for the goat in a spot not too far from the location on the pirate's treasure map.
The troll is delighted and proceeds to tell the pirates that he will make them his favourite goat stew only to be advised, to his horror, that all the pirates desire is .. fish.
Their duties include: searching for drugs and explosives, locating missing people, finding crime scene evidence, and attacking people targeted by the police.
Recently, the Belgian Malinois has become the dog of choice for police and military work due to their intense drive and focus.
Wealth and money was then tithed in the villages for the upkeep of the parish constable's bloodhounds that were used for hunting down outlaws.
The rapid urbanization of London in the 19th century increased public concern regarding growing lawlessness – a problem that was far too great to be dealt with by the existing law enforcement of the time.
One of the first attempts to use dogs in policing was in 1889 by the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police of London, Sir Charles Warren.
Warren's repeated failures at identifying and apprehending the serial killer Jack the Ripper had earned him much vilification from the press, including being denounced for not using bloodhounds to track the killer.
He soon had two bloodhounds trained for the performance of a simple tracking test from the scene of another of the killer's crimes.
The results were far from satisfactory, with one of the hounds biting the Commissioner and both dogs later running off, requiring a police search to find them.
Police in Paris began using dogs against roaming criminal gangs at night, but it was the police department in Ghent, Belgium that introduced the first organized police dog service program in 1899.
These methods soon spread to Austria-Hungary and Germany; in the latter the first scientific developments in the field took place with experiments in dog breeding and training.
The German police selected the German Shepherd Dog as the ideal breed for police work and opened up the first dog training school in 1920 in Greenheide.
In Britain, the North Eastern Railway Police were among the first to use police dogs in 1908 to put a stop to theft from the docks in Hull.
The canine handlers go through a long process of training to ensure that they will train the dog to the best of its ability.
First, the canine handler has to complete the requisite police academy training and one to two years of patrol experience before becoming eligible to transfer to a specialty canine unit.
However, having dog knowledge and / or training outside of the police academy is considered to be an asset, this could be dog obedience, crowd control, communicating effectively with animals and being approachable and personable since having a dog will draw attention from surrounding citizens.
Dogs are initially trained with this language for basic behavior, so, it is easier for the officer to learn new words/commands, rather than retraining the dog to new commands.
This is contrary to the popular belief that police dogs are trained in a different language so that a suspect cannot command the dog against the officer.
Their training is tough and requires being able to distinguish different kinds of drugs while avoiding getting blinded if another smell takes over.
These dogs could smell narcotics even if one were cooking steak right next to them, making them an effective detection dog.
Dogs can only be trained for one or the other because the dog cannot communicate to the officer if it found explosives or narcotics.
When a narcotics dog in the United States indicates to the officer that it found something, the officer has reasonable suspicion to search whatever the dog alerted on (i.e.
Some breeds are used to enforce public order by chasing and detaining suspects either by direct apprehension or a method known as Bark and Hold.
Many police dogs that are chosen are male and remain unneutered to maintain their aggressive behavior, however there are female police dogs which are used for rescue, tracking, and locating bombs and drugs Belgian Malinois are most commonly used because of their availability .
Police dogs are retired if they become injured to an extent where they will not recover completely, pregnant, or raising puppies, or are too old or sick to continue working.
Since many dogs are raised in working environments for the first year of their life and retired before they become unable to perform, the working life of a dog is 6–9 years.
However, when police dogs retire in some countries they may have the chance to receive a pension plan for their contribution.
Police dogs in Nottinghamshire, England, now have the opportunity to retire with a form of security since their government forces now offer $805 over the span of three years to cover any additional medical costs.
Not only do they now receive a pension plan but they also get to retire and reside with their original handler.
The Australian Federal Police and other law enforcement agencies are known to employ K9s for security priorities such as airport duties.
Border Guards Bangladesh, Rapid Action Battalion and the Dhaka Metropolitan Police maintain several dog squads to assist in anti-narcotic and anti-bombing campaigns.
However, they used privately owned dogs until 1935 when the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) saw the value of police dogs and created the first team in 1937.
Most municipalities in Canada employ the bite and hold technique rather than the bark and hold technique meaning once the dog is deployed, it bites the suspect until the dog handler commands it to release.
As such, developing case law is moving towards absolute liability for the handlers of animals deliberately released to intentionally maim suspects.
In 2010, an Alberta Court of Queen's Bench judge stayed criminal charges against Kirk Steele, a man who was near-fatally shot by a police officer while he stabbed the officer's police dog.
Police require reasonable suspicion they will recover evidence in order to use a dog to sniff a person or their possessions in public.
The main exemption to that rule are the dogs of the Canada Border Services Agency who are allowed to make searches without warrants under s.98 of the Customs Act.
In 2017, it was reported that the Canadian forces now have approximately 170 RCMP dog teams across Canada and it is continuing to grow as more and more Canadian municipalities are seeing the value of police dogs.
There are a total of 240 active police dogs in Denmark, each of which are ranked in one of three groups: Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3.
Group 1 dogs are typically within the age range of four to eight years old and are used for patrolling, rescue, searching for biological evidence and major crime investigations.
Group 2 dogs are employed for the same tasks as members of Group 1, but they do not participate in major crime investigations or searching for biological evidence.
The Police Dog Unit (PDU; Chinese: 警犬隊) was established in 1949 and is a specialist force of the Hong Kong Police under the direct command of the Special Operations Bureau.
They specialize in identifying scents (identifying the scent shared by an object and a person), narcotics, explosives and firearms, detecting human remains, locating drowning people and fire accelerants.
For example, the canine unit of the regional police Amsterdam-Amstelland has 24 patroldog handlers and six specialdog handlers and four instructors.
The unit has 24 patroldogs, three explosives/firearms dogs, three active narcotic dogs, two passive narcotic dogs, two scent identifying dogs, one crime scene dog and one USAR dog.
In India, the National Security Guard inducted the Belgian Malinois into its K-9 Unit, Border Security Force and Central Reserve Police Force use Rajapalayam as guard dogs to support the Force in the borders of Kashmir.
All the law enforcement in Italy (Carabinieri, Polizia di Stato and Guardia di Finanza) have in service many patrol dogs for Public Order, Anti-Drug, Anti-explosive, Search and Rescue.
These dogs are kept on a leash at all times and are required to wear a muzzle unless the dog is needed to pursue and detain a suspect.
Russian Police Dogs may react to any and all stimuli only if they are ordered to do so by their handler.
German shepherds are also used for tasks such as seeking dangerous fugitives, tracking, and were ultimately chosen as the all-purpose police and army breed.
There is however no requirement for the dogs to be purebred, as long as they meet mental and physical requirements set by the police.
The police dogs live with their operators, and after retirement at age 8–10 the operator often assumes the ownership of the dog.
Police forces across the country employ dogs and handlers and dog training schools are available to cater for the ever-increasing number of dogs being used.
There are over 2,500 police dogs employed amongst the various police forces in the UK, with the Belgian Malinois as the most popular breed for general purpose work.
In 2008, a Belgian Malinois female handled by PC Graham Clarke won the National Police Dog Trials with the highest score ever recorded.
To obtain the license they have to pass a test at the completion of their training, and then again every year until they retire, which is usually at about the age of 8.
The standards required to become operational are laid down by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) sub-committee on police dogs and are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that training and licensing reflects the most appropriate methods and standards.
K-9 units are operated on the federal, state, county, and local level and are utilized for a wide variety of duties, similar to those of other nations.
The most common police dogs used for everyday duties are the German Shepherd and the Belgian Malinois though other breeds may be used to perform specific tasks.
On the federal level, police dogs are rarely seen by the general public, though they may be viewed in some airports assisting Transportation Security Administration officials search for explosives and weapons or by Customs and Border Protection searching for concealed narcotics and people.
Some dogs may also be used by tactical components of such agencies as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the United States Marshals Service.
Most police agencies in the United States – whether state, county, or local – use K-9s as a means of law enforcement.
Often, even the smallest of departments operates a K-9 team of at least one dog, while the officers of more metropolitan cities can be more used to working with dozens.
In the former case, police dogs usually serve all purposes deemed necessary, most commonly suspect apprehension and narcotics detection, and teams are often on call; in the latter case, however, individual dogs usually serve individual purposes in which each particular animal is specialized, and teams usually serve scheduled shifts.
K-9s are not often seen by the public, though specialized police vehicles used for carrying dogs may be seen from time to time.
It is a felony to assault or kill a federal law enforcement animal, and it is a crime in most states to assault or kill a police animal.
Yet despite common belief, police dogs are not treated as police officers for the purpose of the law, and attacking a police dog is not punishable in the same manner as attacking a police officer.
Though many police departments formally swear dogs in as police officers, this swearing-in is purely honorary, and carries no legal significance.
Many jails and prisons will use special dog teams as a means of intervening in large-scale fights or riots by inmates.
In October 2017, the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Intergovernmental Affairs Subcommittee held a hearing about whether there is a sufficient supply of dogs that can be trained as police dogs.
During testimony at the subcommittee hearing, a representative from the American Kennel Club said that between 80–90 percent of dogs purchased by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Department of Defense come from foreign vendors, mostly located in Europe.
He served nine years as Lieutenant Governor of New York, four months as the fifth Governor of New York, and also in both houses of the New York State Legislature.
He was a member from Albany County in the New York State Assembly from 1777 to 1779, in 1780–81, and from 1785 to 1787.
He was appointed City Recorder (Deputy Mayor) of Albany in 1793, and First Judge of the Albany County Court in 1797.
On January 29, 1811, he was elected President pro tempore of the State Senate and was Acting Lieutenant Governor, Lt. Gov.
He served until the end of June 1811 when he was succeeded by DeWitt Clinton who had been elected Lt. Gov.
After Tompkins' resignation to assume the office of Vice President of the United States, Tayler served as Acting Governor from February 24 to June 30, 1817.
did not succeed to the governor's office but administrated the state only until the end of the yearly term of the New York State Assembly on June 30, the successor being elected in April.
This was the only occurrence of a vacancy of the governor's office under this Constitution, and in April 1817 DeWitt Clinton was elected Governor.
The duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr in 1804 is linked to comments spoken by Hamilton at Tayler's home in Albany, which were related in a letter written by Tayler's son-in-law, Dr. Charles D. Cooper, which was later published in an Albany newspaper.
After her marriage to trumpeter Jimmy McPartland in February 1945, she resided in the United States when not travelling throughout the world to perform.
Janet refused to find her daughter a piano teacher until the age of 16, by which time Margaret was already adept at learning songs by ear.
This lack of early education meant that Marian was never a strong reader of notated music, and would always prefer to learn through listening.
She studied at Miss Hammond's School for Young Children from 1924 to 1927, Avonclyffe from 1927 to 1929, Holy Trinity Convent from 1929 to 1933, and finally Stratford House for Girls from 1933 to 1935.
Mackie suggested to the Turners that Margaret should apply to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, since Margaret clearly had an aptitude and passion for music.
Turner pursued studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, where she worked toward a performance degree that would enable her to become a concert pianist, though she also did coursework in vocal performance.
Turner's talents for improvisation and composition were recognized early when she won the Wainwright Memorial Scholarship for Composition, the Worshipful Company of Musicians Composition Scholarship, and the Chairman's School Composition Prize in 1936 and 1937.
Much to her family's dismay, she developed a love for American jazz and musicians such as Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Teddy Wilson, Mary Lou Williams, and many others.
In 1938, Turner sought out Billy Mayerl at his School of Modern Syncopation to seek lessons, and was convinced to audition for his piano quartet.
After the Claviers tour, Marian returned to London in the fall of 1938 and played sporadically for shows and on the Carroll Lewis Show.
To avoid the draft during World War II, she volunteered for the Entertainment National Service Association (ENSA), a group that was playing for Allied troops, in fall 1940.
In 1944, her friend Zonie Dale recommended that Marian joined the United Service Organizations (USO) because they paid more and played with American men.
With the USO, Marian went through basic training and was issued a set of combat gear – GI boots, helmet, and uniform.
In anticipation of wartime demands, Marian learned to play the accordion in the event that there was no piano available with which to play for the troops.
McPartland had volunteered for the army and was serving active duty when his superiors realized that he could do better work as an entertainer, since he was well-known among the troops.
Jimmy was solicited to put together a sextet to entertain the troops, and invited Marian to join him as their pianist.
Marian was reluctant to tell her parents of the marriage, and had Jimmy's commanding officer tell them when he had lunch with them in England in early 1945.
Jimmy grew up in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago, and was an original member of the Austin High Gang that popularized Chicago-style Dixieland jazz in the 1920s.
This was semi-important for their association with the European jazz scene, but more significant because it marked the beginning of Marian's writing career.
In 1950, she announced that she would no longer go by her stage name, Marian Page, but would now go by her married name, Marian McPartland.
With Jimmy's help and encouragement, Marian started her own trio, which started performing at the newly opened 54th street club called The Embers on 8 May 1951.
Here, she learned how to lead her own group, and played with greats such as Roy Eldridge, Coleman Hawkins, and Terry Gibbs.
Ellington was influential on McPartland’s development as a pianist, and told her she played too many notes, a sentiment she would take to heart.
The drummer Joe Morello joined the group in 1953 and was a member of the trio until he departed to join Dave Brubeck's Quartet in late 1956.
This trio of McPartland, Morello, and Crow would stay together through 1956, and be named Small Group of the Year by Metronome in 1954.
It has been argued that McPartland never received the acclaim she deserved because she never stayed with any sidemen long enough to develop a unique sound, her 1953-56 group being the exception to this rule.
In 1958 a black and white group portrait of 57 notable jazz musicians, including McPartland, was photographed in front of a brownstone in Harlem, New York City.
Immediately preceding her death in August 2013, she was one of only four of the 57 participating musicians who were still alive.
After many years of recording for labels such as Capitol, Savoy, Argo, Sesac, Time, and Dot, in 1969 she founded her own record label, Halcyon Records, before having a long association with the Concord label.
It quickly became clear that Goodman did not like her more modern playing style, and she shifted out of the full septet to play exclusively in the trio numbers.
The physical and emotional strain of the last few years weighed hard on Marian during the stressful tour, and she checked herself into the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kansas for two weeks as an outpatient when the tour finished.
McPartland's counselling with Benjamin eventually led her to a number of important choices, the first being the decision to end her affair with Morello in the spring of 1964.
The second was her decision to divorce Jimmy in the summer of 1967, a separation that was made public in December of the same year.
Marian struggled to connect to the avant-garde jazz of the late 1960s, though she did endeavor to learn and adapt the free jazz style for her own use.
She was not in high demand as a performer through the 1960s, and her focus shifted to focus on jazz education.
Marian became aware of the need for jazz education when she was convinced to do a workshop at a high school in Rochester, New York, in 1956.
She realized that the kids were totally unaware of jazz, and utterly enamored with the new rock and roll sweeping the country.
In 1966, DeRosa received a grant that allowed him to further develop his method, and he moved to the Cold Spring Harbor High School.
One of her most challenging projects was in 1974 when she received a Washington DC grant to teach in poor black neighborhoods.
McPartland would be recognized for her work in jazz education in 1986, when she received the Jazz Educator of the Year award.
During an engagement at the Apartment, a New York club, in February 1967 she met Alec Wilder, a man with whom she would develop a great friendship and who would encourage her to write and compose.
They encountered each other again when Marian was touring in Rochester and began a collaboration that would become important, though difficult, for both of them.
After many years of recording for labels such as Capitol, Savoy, Argo Records, Sesac, Time, Design, and Dot Records, in 1969 McPartland co-founded her own record label, Halcyon Records.
By 1977, McPartland had become a public advocate for women in jazz, and headlined the first Women's Jazz Festival, which took place in Kansas City, March 17–19, 1978.
The late '70s marked the beginning of a renaissance for live jazz that sent Marian across the globe, performing in Asia, Europe, South America, and across the United States.
McPartland rarely used women in her combos, but she helped many young women find their feet in the jazz business such as Mary Fettig (first woman in the Stan Kenton band) and Susannah McCorkle.
Though the performance was poorly reviewed by most critics, she went on to perform the work with many symphonies across the country.
In 1964, Marian McPartland launched a new venture on WBAI-FM (New York City), conducting a weekly radio program that featured recordings and interviews with guests.
McPartland was offered the opportunity primarily on the recommendation of her friend Alec Wilder, who hosted American Popular Song until his health prevented him from continuing the program.
The program featured McPartland at the keyboard with guest performers, usually pianists, but also singers, guitarists, other musicians, and even the non-musician Studs Terkel.
She celebrated the 25th anniversary of the NPR series with a live taping at the Kennedy Center for which Peter Cincotti was the guest.
Due to Marian's increasing popularity, mostly from the success of Piano Jazz, she began booking increasingly prestigious shows and doing more recording.
In 1979, McPartland received an NEH grant to write a book about women in jazz, focusing specifically on The International Sweethearts of Rhythm.
In the early '80s, many books were published about the rise of women in jazz, including interviews with many of the same people that she interviewed, thereby reducing the novelty of her own research.
Although a master at adapting to her guest's musical styles and having a well-known affinity for beautiful and harmonically-rich ballads, she also recorded many tunes of her own.
She also participated on the DVD commentary for the movie, along with the film's director and They Might Be Giants' John Linnell and John Flansburgh.
She retraced the path of the forced removal of the Cherokee from the southeastern United States to Oklahoma, known as the Trail of Tears, with her twin sister Amy.
The Cleveland Botanical Garden, located in the University Circle neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States, was founded in 1930 as the Garden Center of Greater Cleveland.
Originally housed in a converted boathouse on Wade Park Lagoon, the center served as a horticultural library, offering classes and workshops for gardeners and spearheading beautification projects in the community.
In 1966, having outgrown its original home, the Garden Center moved to its present location in University Circle, the site of the old Cleveland Zoo.
In 1994, the organization's Board of Trustees changed the name to Cleveland Botanical Garden to reflect a dramatically expanded mission and launched an ambitious capital campaign to develop a facility that would support the enhanced program agenda.
The centerpiece of the $50 million 2003 expansion is The Eleanor Armstrong Smith Glasshouse, a 17,000 square foot (1,700 m²) conservatory home to plant and animal life from two separate biomes, the spiny desert of Madagascar and the cloud forest of Costa Rica.
There are also of gardens, including the award-winning Hershey Children's Garden (the first children's garden in Ohio), the Elizabeth and Nona Evans Restorative Garden, the David and Paula Swetland Topiary Garden, the Western Reserve Herb Society Garden, the Japanese Garden, the Sears-Swetland Rose Garden, the Ohio Woodland, the C.K.
Civil death () is the loss of all or almost all civil rights by a person due to a conviction for a felony or due to an act by the government of a country that results in the loss of civil rights.
It is usually inflicted on persons convicted of crimes against the state or adults determined by a court to be legally incompetent because of mental disability.
In the US, the disenfranchisement of felons has been called a form of civil death, as has being subjected to collateral consequences in general.
One-seventh of all surveyed Crown lands were set aside, totalling and respectively for each Province, and provision was made to dedicate some of those reserved lands as glebe land in support of any parsonage or rectory that may be established by the Church of England.
The provincial legislatures could vary or repeal these provisions, but royal assent could not be given prior to such passed bills having been laid before both houses of the British Parliament for at least thirty days.
However, in 1823 the Law Officers of the Crown held that the Church of Scotland was also entitled to a share of the revenues under the 1791 Act.
Although Lt-Governor Maitland attempted to suppress the publication of that decision, the Legislature passed resolutions the following year that recognized that church's status.
Until 1819, the reserve lands were managed by the Province, and in most years they earned revenues that were barely sufficient to cover their expenses.
John Strachan was appointed to the Executive Council of Upper Canada in 1815, he began to push for the Church of England's autonomous control of the clergy reserves on the model of the Clergy Corporation of Lower Canada, created in 1817.
The 1819 charter (drafted by Strachan's former student, Attorney General John Beverly Robinson) provided for the Bishop of Quebec to become the perpetual Principal and Director (as he was for the Lower Canada body), who, with twelve other directors, constituted the Board.
Any two directors, together with the Principal or an acting chairman, constituted a quorum, but, because of the poor network of roads, most clergy members were generally unable to attend Corporation meetings.
Except in the Talbot Settlement (where they were located off the main roads), they were generally arranged in a checkerboard pattern within each township, and were a serious obstacle to economic development as they were effectively wasteland, either being abandoned by lessees after the timber had been fully harvested, or unattractive because of the availability of cheap freehold land.
Even with higher rates being charged from 1819, total annual revenues were still only £1200 in 1824, and only one-third could be collected without pursuing legal action.
However, because of opposition from Strachan, the Company received in the Huron Tract, in substitution for the originally contemplated of clergy reserve lands.
As the provincial policy of free land grants had come to an end, Strachan lobbied for and secured an Act from the British Parliament granting authority to sell up to one-fourth of all reserve lands, up to each year, from which there would be income sufficient to support 200300 Anglican clergymen.
In 1836, before Sir John Colborne was succeeded by Sir Francis Bond Head as lieutenant-governor, he created 57 rectories for the Church of England, with glebe land totalling .
This action created significant political dissent, and was subsequently declared illegal in 1837, but was later held in 1856 to have been lawful.
The Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada passed a law to sell the reserves in 1840, but it was disallowed and displaced by an Imperial Act passed later in that year.
Although considered to be more favourable to the Church of England, the Act as passed provided that only one-half of future sales would be dedicated on a 2:1 basis to the Churches of England and Scotland, with the remaining half being distributed to all other churches according to their respective strengths.
The administration of the reserve lands was transferred to the Crown Lands Department, where it was handled in a more professional manner.
Unlike the distribution of lots that was pursued by Simcoe in Upper Canada, Alured Clarke, lieutenant-governor of Lower Canada, instituted a policy of setting aside large blocks of land apart from either current or contiguous settlement.
The reserve lands generated little income in Lower Canada, with the average annual profit from such activity amounting to only £3 between 1791 and 1837.
Pressure arose to reform the entire structure of the reserves, but the government of Robert Baldwin and Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine chose not to proceed on such a course, because of the resistance of the established churches and the roadblocks presented by the 1791 Act.
However, such caution eventually came to be seen as inflexibility, which would be overcome by the rise of the Grit movement in 1850.
Even Robert Baldwin, who was the leader of the struggle for Responsible Government did not advocate for complete abolition and chose to resign his seat rather than tackle the question.
The funds were awarded to each province respectively in September 1870, and the award itself was held to be valid by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in March 1878.
In Ontario, the Fund continued to be accounted for separately until the passage of an Act in 1908, where all special funds were declared to form part of the province's Consolidated Revenue Fund.
John Morgan (also known as John Morgan Matchin or John Morgan of Matchin) (7 February 1688 – 28 February 1733 or 1734) was a Welsh clergyman, scholar and poet.
He studied at Jesus College, Oxford, from 1704 to 1708, and is thought to have been influenced by Edward Lhuyd, the antiquary, whilst he was there.
From 1710 to 1713, he was curate of Llanfyllin, Montgomeryshire, before becoming curate (1713) and then vicar (1728) of Matching, Essex, a position he held until his death in February 1733 or 1734.
Other works include a collection of proverbs and colloquialisms and, it is thought, some translations of Tertullian and Cyprian published in 1716.
He also discussed matters of literature and antiquary, and these letters were studied later in the eighteenth century by those involved in the cultural revival of Wales at that time.
She later performed in various concerts at the Opéra Bastille in Paris, and in Brussels for Europalia Mexico, in Munich, and in Oslo.
Her ex-husband Pirro Çako is a well-known singer and composer from Albania, but she used the spelling Tchako rather than Çako.
Todd Jay Weinstein (born 1951) is a photographer and artist, born in Detroit, Michigan, and who now lives in New York City.
He has studied Dick James in Detroit Michigan, after moving to New York City in 1970 Todd started working at the Gaslight folk music club which move to upstairs at Max's Kansas City.
After the photographs from that period were developed, he picked up the many threads of his past experiences and began using the photographs toward a project on the re-emergence of Jewish culture in Germany.
The Gallery showed many different artists: Louis Stettner, Sid Kaplan, Maggie Steber, Eugene Richards, Ed Grazda, Barry Kornbluh, Tore Johnson, Tom Brand, Arlene Gottfried, Carlos Rena Perez, to name a few, and also outside curator Greg Master.
B3ta's main feature is a newsletter featuring the latest work of the B3ta community and other interesting, humorous or perverse things found on the Web.
A message board allows members to post digital images and short animations they have created, the ones considered the best appearing on the front page, along with various announcements.
These include the Macromedia Flash cartoons created by Joel Veitch and Jonti Picking, the surrealist animations by Cyriak Harris, and the quizzes by Rob Manuel.
on that answer; however, as many answers are submitted each week, most are never clicked on and so are sorted by the time they were posted.
It was originally used as material for the radio show and the newsletter, but realising the popularity of the content, the site owners decided to continue the questions after the close of the show.
A new topic is begun every Thursday (at which point it becomes impossible to reply to the previous QOTW) and, as with the other areas of the site, Question of the Week attracts regulars known for their characteristic posts.
QOTW Off Topic was invented for those users of QOTW who found they had things in common and liked to talk to each other using the reply system.
Over several weeks it became clear that more and more people were preferring to chat to each other through the replies instead of the /talk board which was already set up, so Off Topic was created.
The links board is another section of the site that was created in response to an equivalent page on the 4rthur website.
This board is a place for b3ta members to share interesting links they have found, in preference to the original practise of posting them on the main board.
The talk board is identical to the main message board except for the fact that it is not possible to post images.
It was created in response to the arrival of 4rthur, a (now defunct) talk based offshoot of b3ta which drew a couple of hundred members away, and, more recently, cliqr, Dynafoo (both also defunct now) and c4mbodia.
Oxford in particular has become known amongst members as a bash hotspot, and has developed from a few B3tards getting together for a drink to a genuine spectacle.
From August 2003 until July 2004, B3ta had its own radio show, which was broadcast from Resonance FM (104.4 FM in London, also available via streaming broadcast from the Resonance FM website) between 4pm and 5pm.
The site encouraged submission of jokes intended to be bad taste or taboo, and entries were organised under a categorisation system of topics which included racism, jokes about celebrities, current affairs and sexual humour.
Similarly to the main B3ta site, Sickipedia site functionality offered an electronic voting system to subject user submissions to a form of peer review.
Virgin later cancelled the challenge early because they did not like some of the images being created, including Richard Branson urinating on Rob Manuel, dressed in baby clothes.
The BBC then posted this logo on its website and ran it on its BBC News 24 channel as part of a viewer-submitted contest.
A Sickipedia joke about stricken Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba on the evening of his cardiac arrest on the pitch at White Hart Lane caused outrage on Twitter.
In October 2012, a 19-year-old from Chorley, Lancashire, was jailed for copying and pasting Sickipedia jokes about abducted children April Jones and Madeleine McCann onto Facebook.
John Wiley & Sons, Inc., commonly known as Wiley, is an American multinational publishing company founded in 1807 that focuses on academic publishing and instructional materials.
The company produces books, journals, and encyclopedias, in print and electronically, as well as online products and services, training materials, and educational materials for undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education students.
The company was the publisher of 19th century American literary figures like James Fenimore Cooper, Washington Irving, Herman Melville, and Edgar Allan Poe, as well as of legal, religious, and other non-fiction titles.
Charles Wiley's son John (born in Flatbush, New York, 4 October 1808; died in East Orange, New Jersey, 21 February 1891) took over the business when his father died in 1826.
The company acquired its present name in 1876, when John's second son William H. Wiley joined his brother Charles in the business.
Wiley has also created an online community called Wiley Living History, offering excerpts from Knowledge for Generations and a forum for visitors and Wiley employees to post their comments and anecdotes.
Wiley established publishing operations in India in 2006 (though it has had a sales presence since 1966), and has established a presence in North Africa through sales contracts with academic institutions in Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt.
On April 16, 2012, the company announced the establishment of Wiley Brasil Editora LTDA in São Paulo, Brazil, effective May 1, 2012.
Wiley's scientific, technical, and medical business was expanded by the acquisition of Blackwell Publishing in February 2007 for , its largest purchase to that time.
The combined business, named Scientific, Technical, Medical, and Scholarly (also known as Wiley-Blackwell), publishes, in print and online, 1,400 scholarly peer-reviewed journals and an extensive collection of books, reference works, databases, and laboratory manuals in the life and physical sciences, medicine and allied health, engineering, the humanities, and the social sciences.
Through a backfile initiative completed in 2007, 8.2 million pages of journal content have been made available online, a collection dating back to 1799.
Launched as a pilot in 1997 with fifty journals and expanded through 1998, Wiley InterScience provided online access to Wiley journals, reference works, and books, including backfile content.
Journals previously from Blackwell Publishing were available online from Blackwell Synergy until they were integrated into Wiley InterScience on June 30, 2008.
On February 17, 2012, Wiley announced the acquisition of Inscape Holdings Inc., which provides DISC assessments and training for interpersonal business skills.
On March 7, 2012, Wiley announced its intention to divest assets in the areas of travel (including the Frommer's brand), culinary, general interest, nautical, pets, and crafts, as well as the Webster's New World and CliffsNotes brands.
On August 13, 2012, Wiley announced it entered into a definitive agreement to sell all of its travel assets, including all of its interests in the Frommer's brand, to Google Inc. On November 6, 2012, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt acquired Wiley's cookbooks, dictionaries and study guides.
In 2013, Wiley sold its pets, crafts and general interest lines to Turner Publishing Company and its nautical line to Fernhurst Books.
Wiley has publishing alliances with partners including Microsoft, CFA Institute, the Culinary Institute of America, the American Institute of Architects, the National Geographic Society, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
Wiley-Blackwell also publishes journals on behalf of more than 700 professional and scholarly society partners including the New York Academy of Sciences, American Cancer Society, The Physiological Society, British Ecological Society, American Association of Anatomists, Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues and The London School of Economics and Political Science, making it the world's largest society publisher.
Wiley has also partnered with five other higher-education publishers to create CourseSmart, a company developed to sell college textbooks in eTextbook format on a common platform.
In 2013, Wiley partnered with American Graphics Institute to create an online education video and e-book subscription service called The Digital Classroom.
In 2016, Wiley launched a worldwide partnership with Christian H. Cooper to create a program for candidates taking the Financial Risk Manager exam offered by Global Association of Risk Professionals.
The partnership is built on the view the FRM designation will rapidly grow to be one of the premier financial designations for practitioners that will track the growth of the Chartered Financial Analyst designation.
The program will serve tens of thousands of FRM candidates worldwide and is based on the adaptive learning technology of Wiley's efficient learning platform and Christian's unique writing style and legacy book series.
With the integration of digital technology and the traditional print medium, Wiley has stated that in the near future its customers will be able to search across all its content regardless of original medium and assemble a custom product in the format of choice.
In 2016, Wiley started a collaboration with the open access publisher Hindawi to help convert nine Wiley journals to full open access.
In 2018 a further announcement was made indicating that the Wiley-Hindawi collaboration would launch an additional four new fully open access journals.
On January 18, 2019, Wiley signed a contract with Project DEAL to begin open access to its academic journals for more than 700 academic institutions.
It is intended to provide a single source from which instructors can manage their courses, create presentations, and assign and grade homework and tests; students can receive hints and explanations as they work on homework, and link back to relevant sections of the text.
The company has begun to make content from its STMS business available to instructors through the system, with content from its Professional/Trade business to follow.
In January 2008, Wiley launched a new version of its evidence-based medicine (EBM) product, InfoPOEMs with InfoRetriever, under the name Essential Evidence Plus, providing primary-care clinicians with point-of-care access to the most extensive source of EBM information via their PDAs/handheld devices and desktop computers.
Essential Evidence Plus includes the InfoPOEMs daily EBM content alerting service and two new content resources—EBM Guidelines, a collection of practice guidelines, evidence summaries, and images, and e-Essential Evidence, a reference for general practitioners, nurses, and physician assistants providing first-contact care.
Wiley Online Library is a subscription-based library of John Wiley & Sons that launched on August 7, 2010, replacing Wiley InterScience.
It is a collection of online resources covering life, health, and physical sciences as well as social science and the humanities.
To its members, Wiley Online Library delivers access to over 4 million articles from 1,600 journals, more than 22,000 books, and hundreds of reference works, laboratory protocols, and databases from John Wiley & Sons and its imprints, including Wiley-Blackwell, Wiley-VCH, and Jossey-Bass.
While the company is led by an independent management team and Board of Directors, the involvement of the Wiley family is ongoing, with sixth-generation members (and siblings) Peter Booth Wiley as the non-executive Chairman of the Board and Bradford Wiley II as a Director and past Chairman of the Board.
Wiley has been publicly owned since 1962, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 1995; its stock is traded under the symbols (for its Class A stock) and (for its class B stock).
In August 2009, the company announced a proposed reduction of Wiley-Blackwell staff in content management operations in the UK and Australia by approximately 60, in conjunction with an increase of staff in Asia.
In March 2010, it announced a similar reorganization of its Wiley-Blackwell central marketing operations that would lay off approximately 40 employees.
In June 2012, it announced the proposed closing of its Edinburgh facility in June 2013 with the intention of relocating journal content management activities currently performed there to Oxford and Asia.
Wiley reported a mean 2017 gender pay gap of 21.1 % for its UK workforce, while the median was 21.5 %.
A 2013 lawsuit brought by a stock photo agency for alleged violation of a 1997 license was dismissed for procedural reasons.
A 2014 ruling by the District Court for the Southern District of New York, later affirmed by the Second Circuit, says that Wiley infringed on the copyright of photographer Tom Bean by using his photos beyond the scope of the license it had purchased.
A 2015 9th Circuit Court of Appeals opinion established that another photo agency had standing to sue Wiley for its usage of photos beyond the scope of the license acquired.
In 2018, a Southern District of New York court upheld the award of over $39 million to Wiley and other textbook publishers in a vast litigation against Book Dog Books, a re-seller of used books which was found to hold and distribute counterfeit copies.
The Court found that circumstantial evidence was sufficient to establish distribution of 116 titles for which counterfeit copies had been presented and of other 5 titles.
It also found that unchallenged testimony on how the publishers' usually acquired licenses from authors was sufficient to establish the publishers' copyright on the books in question.
In 2008, John Wiley & Sons filed suit against Thailand native Supap Kirtsaeng over the sale of textbooks made outside of the United States and then imported into the country.
In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court held 6–3 that the first-sale doctrine applied to copies of copyrighted works made and sold abroad at lower prices, reversing the Second Circuit decision which had favored Wiley.
The clean and jerk is a composite of two weightlifting movements, most often performed with a barbell: the clean and the jerk.
Of the several variants of the lift, the most common is the Olympic clean and jerk, which, with the snatch, is contested in Olympic weightlifting events.
To complete the clean, the lifter stands, often propelling the bar upward from the shoulders slightly as the erect position is attained and shifting the grip slightly wider and the feet slightly closer together in preparation for the jerk.
The lifter dips a few inches by bending the knees, keeping the back vertical, and then explosively extends the knees, propelling the barbell upward off the shoulders, and then quickly dropping underneath the bar by pushing upward with the arms and splitting the legs into a lunge position, one forward and one back.
The bar is received overhead on straight arms, and, once stable, the lifter recovers from the split position, bringing the feet back into the same plane as the rest of the body.
In the power jerk, the lifter performs the same dip and jump movement but unlike the split jerk the lifter catches the barbell in a partial squat position.
The squat jerk however, it is much like the power jerk in how the lifter catches the barbell in a squat position but unlike the power jerk, the lifter catches the barbell in a full squat position with the barbell locked out above their head.
The power clean, a weight training exercise not used in competition, refers to any variant of the clean in which the lifter does not catch the bar in a full squat position (commonly accepted as thighs parallel to the floor or below).
Both power and hang cleans are considered to be ideal for sports conditioning; as they are both total body exercises that have been known to increase neuromuscular co-ordination and core stability.
The continental clean involves lifting the bar from the floor to the final clean position by any method of the lifter's choosing so long as the bar is not upended and does not touch the ground.
A desmodromic valve is a reciprocating engine poppet valve that is positively closed by a cam and leverage system, rather than by a more conventional spring.
The valves in a typical four-stroke engine allow the air/fuel mixture into the cylinder at the beginning of the cycle and exhaust gases to be expelled at the end of the cycle.
An engine using desmodromic valves has two cams and two actuators, each for positive opening and closing without a return spring.
The common valve spring system is satisfactory for traditional mass-produced engines that do not rev highly and are of a design that requires low maintenance.
At the period of initial desmodromic development, valve springs were a major limitation on engine performance because they would break from metal fatigue.
Vacuum melt processes developed in the 1950s helped remove impurities in the steel used to make valve springs, although after sustained operation above 8000 RPM often springs would still fail.
Furthermore, as maximum RPM increases, higher spring force is required to prevent valve float, leading to increased cam drag and higher wear on the parts at all speeds, problems addressed by the desmodromic mechanism.
Fully controlled valve movement was conceived during the earliest days of engine development, but devising a system that worked reliably and was not overly complex took a long time.
Azzariti, a short lived Italian manufacturer from 1933 to 1934, produced 173 cc and 348 cc twin-cylinder engines, some of which had desmodromic valve gear, with the valve being closed by a separate camshaft.
The Mercedes-Benz W196 Formula One racing car of 1954-1955, and the Mercedes-Benz 300SLR sports racing car of 1955 both had desmodromic valve actuation.
In 1956, Fabio Taglioni, a Ducati engineer, developed a desmodromic valve system for the Ducati 125 Grand Prix, creating the Ducati 125 Desmo.
The specific purpose of the desmodromic system is to force the valves to comply with the timing diagram as consistently as possible.
In traditional sprung-valve actuation, as engine speed increases, the inertia of the valve will eventually overcome the spring's ability to close it completely before the piston reaches TDC (top dead centre).
This allows combustion gases to escape prematurely, leading to a reduction in cylinder pressure which causes a major decrease in engine performance.
It must still overcome the inertia of the valve opening and closing, and that depends on the effective mass of the moving parts.
The effective mass of a traditional valve with spring includes one-half of the valve spring mass and all of the valve spring retainer mass.
However, a desmodromic system must deal with the inertia of the two rocker arms per valve, so this advantage depends greatly on the skill of the designer.
Thus, desmo systems have generally needed to deal with sliding friction between the cam and rocker arm and therefore may have greater wear.
Another possible disadvantage is that it would be very difficult to incorporate hydraulic valve lash adjusters in a desmodromic system, so the valves must be periodically adjusted, but this is true of typical performance oriented motorcycles as valve lash is typically set using a shim under a cam follower.
Before the days when valve drive dynamics could be analyzed by computer, desmodromic drive seemed to offer solutions for problems that were worsening with increasing engine speed.
Since those days, lift, velocity, acceleration, and jerk curves for cams have been modelled by computer to reveal that cam dynamics are not what they seemed.
With proper analysis, problems relating to valve adjustment, hydraulic tappets, push rods, rocker arms, and above all, valve float, became things of the past without desmodromic drive.
Today most automotive engines use overhead cams, driving a flat tappet to achieve the shortest, lightest weight, and most inelastic path from cam to valve, thereby avoiding elastic elements such as pushrod and rocker arm.
Before numerical computing methods were readily available, acceleration was only attainable by differentiating cam lift profiles twice, once for velocity and again for acceleration.
Computers permitted integration from the jerk curve, the third derivative of lift, that is conveniently a series of contiguous straight lines whose vertices can be adjusted to give any desired lift profile.
Integration of the jerk curve produces a smooth acceleration curve while the third integral gives an essentially ideal lift curve (cam profile).
However, some high speed (in terms of engine RPM) motors now employ asymmetrical cam profiles in order to quickly open valves and set them back in their seats more gently to reduce wear.
As well, production vehicles have employed asymmetrical cam lobe profiles since the late 1940s, as seen in the 1948 Ford V8.
More modern applications of asymmetrical camshafts include Cosworth's 2.3 liter crate motors, which use aggressive profiles to reach upwards of 280 brake horsepower.
An asymmetric cam either opens or closes the valves more slowly than it could, with the speed being limited by Hertzian contact stress between curved cam and flat tappet, thereby ensuring a more controlled acceleration of the combined mass of the reciprocating componentry (specifically the valve, tappet and spring).
Maximum valve acceleration is limited by the cam-to-tappet galling stress, and therefore is governed by both the moving mass and the cam contact area.
Maximum rigidity and minimum contact stress are best achieved with conventional flat tappets and springs whose lift and closure stress is unaffected by spring force; both occur at the base circle, where spring load is minimum and contact radius is largest.
of desmodromic cams cause higher contact stress than flat tappets for the same lift profile, thereby limiting rate of lift and closure.
With conventional cams, stress is highest at full lift, when turning at zero speed (initiation of engine cranking), and diminishes with increasing speed as inertial force of the valve counters spring pressure, while a desmodromic cam has essentially no load at zero speed (in the absence of springs), its load being entirely inertial, and therefore increasing with speed.
Valve float was analyzed and found to be caused largely by resonance in valve springs that generated oscillating compression waves among coils, much like a Slinky.
For this reason, today as many as three concentric valve springs are sometimes nested inside one other; not for more force (the inner ones having no significant spring constant), but to act as snubbers to reduce oscillations in the outer spring.
The number of active coils in these springs varies during the stroke, the more closely wound coils being on the static end, becoming inactive as the spring compresses or as in the beehive spring, where the small diameter coils at the top are stiffer.
While it can be more expensive to maintain than traditional spring-actuated valve systems, many aftermarket precision machined components can extend the maintenance interval to that of spring actuated systems (in comparable motorcycles).
While newer, high-performance pneumatic systems may follow more specific design and engineering specifications (computer-aided) they are typically limited to racing applications (Formula 1, Moto GP, etc.).
Currently, there is no method of determining longevity or extended maintenance intervals of such systems in practical, everyday, systems such as the automobile.
While the design can be noisy, it is typically masked by wind noise and other engine components such as intake and exhaust noise.
Ducati motorcycles with desmodromic valves have won numerous races and championships, including Superbike World Championships from 1990 to 1992, 1994–96, 1998–99, 2001, 2003–04, 2006, 2008 and 2011.
Ducati's return to Grand Prix motorcycle racing was powered by a desmodromic V4 990 cc engine in the GP3 (Desmosedici) bike, which went on to claim several victories, including a one-two finish at the final 990 cc MotoGP race at Valencia, Spain in 2006.
With the onset of the 800 cc era in 2007, they are generally still considered to be the most powerful engines in the sport, and have powered Casey Stoner to the 2007 MotoGP Championship and Ducati to the constructors championship with the GP7 (Desmosedici) bike.
On December 11, 2009, the Grand Prix Commission announced that the MotoGP class would switch to the 1,000 cc motor limit starting in the 2012 season.
Maximum displacement was limited to 1,000 cc, maximum cylinders were limited to four, and maximum bore was capped at 81 mm (3.2 inches).
Ben Pollack (June 22, 1903 – June 7, 1971) was an American drummer and bandleader from the mid-1920s through the swing era.
His eye for talent led him to employ musicians such as Benny Goodman, Jack Teagarden, Glenn Miller, Jimmy McPartland, and Harry James.
In 1924 he played for several bands, including some on the west coast, which ultimately led to his forming a band, the 12-piece Venice Ballroom Orchestra, there in 1925.
In 1926, he had a band named the Ten Californians, which had some performances broadcast on WLW radio in Cincinnati, Ohio.
One of the earliest members of his band was Gil Rodin, a saxophonist whose business acumen served him well later as an executive for the Music Corporation of America.
Combining Pollack's regular recordings with these side groups made Pollack's one of the more prolific bands of the 1920s and 1930s.
Pollack's band played in Chicago and moved to New York City around the fall of 1928, having obtained McPartland and Teagarden around that time.
Pollack's bands from the 1920s–1940s included Benny Goodman, Bud Freeman, Dick Cathcart, Eddie Miller, Frank Teschemacher, Freddie Slack, Glenn Miller, Harry James, Irving Fazola, Jack Teagarden, Jimmy McPartland, Joe Marsala, Matty Matlock, Muggsy Spanier, and Yank Lawson.
In later years, after suffering a series of financial losses, Pollack grew despondent and committed suicide by hanging in his home in Palm Springs in 1971.
Pollack left Victor in late 1929 and recorded for Hit of the Week (1930), the dime store labels (Banner, Cameo, Domino, Lincoln, Perfect, Romeo) (1930–1931), Victor (1933), Columbia (1933–1934), Brunswick, Vocalion and Variety (1936–37), and Decca (1937–1938).
Like most canids, the swift fox is an omnivore, and its diet includes grasses and fruits as well as small mammals, carrion, and insects.
In the wild, its lifespan is three to six years, and it breeds once annually, from late December to March, depending on the geographic region.
The two have historically been regarded as different species for reasons basically related to size: the kit fox is slightly smaller than the swift fox, and the former has a narrower snout.
The molecular genetics evidence is not conclusive, however, and some of those who have used it continue to treat the swift fox and kit fox as separate species.
The swift fox has a dark, grayish, tan coloration that extends to a yellowish tan color across its sides and legs.
It is about 12 inches (30 cm) in height, and 31 inches (79 cm) long, measuring from the head to the tip of the tail, or about the size of a domestic cat.
It is native to the Great Plains region of North America, and its range extends north to the central part of Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada, and south to Texas.
The swift fox was once a severely endangered species, due to predator control programs in the 1930s that were aimed mostly at the gray wolf and the coyote.
The species was extirpated from Canada by 1938, but a reintroduction program started in 1983 has been successful in establishing small populations in southeast Alberta and southwest Saskatchewan, despite the fact that many reintroduced individuals do not survive their first year.
Nonetheless, by 1996, 540 foxes had been released around the Alberta-Saskatchewan border and Milk River Ridge areas, parts of the species' original native range.
Four years later, those introduced foxes had tripled in number, making the program one of the most successful endangered species reintroduction programs in the world.
A small, but stable and growing population continues to live freely in the southeastern regions of Alberta, and southwestern regions of Saskatchewan.
Exact population numbers of the swift fox are unknown, but it is known that they currently inhabit only 40% of their historic range.
In addition to its populations in Canada, there are also swift fox populations in the United States, ranging from South Dakota to Texas.
This prompted state wildlife agencies within the fox's range to create the Swift Fox Conservation Team, which worked to implement better swift fox management and monitoring programs.
Populations in the United States are stable in the central part of its range, and it is not considered endangered in the United States.
Daytime activities are usually confined to the den, but it has been known to spend the warm midday period above ground during the winter.
In the southern United States, it mates between December and February with pups born in March and early April, while in Canada, the breeding season begins in March, and pups are born in mid-May.
The male swift fox matures and may mate at one year, while the female usually waits until her second year before breeding.
The swift fox only has one litter annually, but may occupy up to thirteen dens in one year, moving because prey is scarce or because skin parasites build up inside the den.
Sometimes it makes other burrows from other bigger animals, even though it is completely capable of digging one on its own.
A newborn pup's eyes and ears remain closed for ten to fifteen days, leaving it dependent on the mother for food and protection during this time.
Recent research has shown that social organization in the swift fox is unusual among canids, since it is based on the females.
During the summer, adults eat large amounts of insects, including beetles and grasshoppers, and feed their young with larger prey items.
In 2002, Fiorina oversaw what was then the largest technology sector merger in history, in which HP acquired rival personal computer manufacturer, Compaq.
In 2010, she won the Republican nomination for the United States Senate in California, but lost the general election to incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer.
Fiorina was a candidate in the 2016 Republican presidential primary, and was for seven days the vice-presidential running mate of Ted Cruz until he suspended his campaign, setting the record for shortest vice presidential candidacy in modern U.S. history.
Cara Carleton Sneed was born on September 6, 1954, in Austin, Texas, the daughter of Madelon Montross (née Juergens) and Joseph Tyree Sneed III.
He would later become dean of Duke University School of Law, Deputy U.S. Attorney General, and judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Her paternal great-great-great-great-uncle built the Constantine Sneed House in Brentwood, Tennessee, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
She later attended five different high schools, including one in Ghana, graduating from Charles E. Jordan High School in Durham, North Carolina.
She worked as a receptionist for six months at a real estate firm, Marcus & Millichap, moving up to a broker position.
When she married in 1977, she and her husband moved to Bologna, Italy, where he was doing graduate work; there she did English tutoring to Italian businessmen.
In 1980, Fiorina received a Master of Business Administration, in marketing, from the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, College Park.
In 1989 she obtained a Master of Science, in management, at the MIT Sloan School of Management, under the Sloan Fellows program.
In 1990, she became the company's first female officer as senior vice president overseeing the company's hardware and systems division, eventually heading its North American operations.
In 1995, Fiorina led corporate operations for Lucent Technologies, Inc., a spin-off from AT&T of its Western Electric and Bell Labs divisions into a new company.
She played a key role in planning and implementing the 1996 initial public offering of a successful stock and company launch strategy.
In 1997, she was named group president for Lucent's 19 billion global service-provider business, overseeing marketing and sales for the company's largest customer segment.
That year, Fiorina chaired a 2.5 billion joint venture between Lucent's consumer communications and Royal Philips Electronics, under the name Philips Consumer Communications (PCC).
Lucent added 22,000 jobs and revenues grew from US$19 billion to US$38 billion and the company's market share increased in every region for every product.
In July 1999, Hewlett-Packard Company named Fiorina chief executive officer, succeeding Lewis Platt and prevailing over the internal candidate Ann Livermore.
Fiorina received a larger signing offer than any of her predecessors, including: 65 million in restricted stock to compensate her for the Lucent stock and options she left behind, a 3 million signing bonus, a 1 million annual salary (plus a 1.25–3.75 million annual bonus), 36,000 in mortgage assistance, a relocation allowance, and permission (and encouragement) to use company planes for personal affairs.
Although the decision to spin off the company's analytical instruments division pre-dated her arrival, one of her first major responsibilities as chief executive was overseeing the separation of the unit into the stand-alone Agilent Technologies.
Fiorina proposed the acquisition of the technology services arm of PricewaterhouseCoopers for almost 14 billion, but withdrew the bid after a lackluster reception from Wall Street.
In early September 2001, in the wake of the bursting of the Tech Bubble, Fiorina announced the acquisition of PC maker Compaq with 25 billion in stock, which, at the time, was the second largest producer of personal computers, after Dell.
Fiorina was frequently at odds with HP's board of directors, and she had to fight with the board for the merger.
Fiorina was supported in the proxy battle by other board members, including Richard Hackborn, Philip M. Condit, George A. Keyworth, II, and Robert Knowling.
Business professor Robert Burgelman and former HP executive vice president, Webb McKinney, who led HP's post-merger integration team, analyzed the merger and concluded that it was ultimately successful.
In 2008, former acting CEO of Compaq Ben Rosen stated that although Fiorina lacked the skills to run the merged company, her successors made it work.
In 1997, prior to Fiorina's joining the company, HP's Dutch subsidiary formed a partnership with a company in Dubai, Redington Gulf, which sold HP's products in Iran.
Under Fiorina's leadership at HP, the company sold millions of dollars worth of printers and computer products to Iran through the foreign subsidiary, while U.S. export sanctions were in effect.
According to former officials who worked on sanctions, HP was using a loophole by routing their sales through a foreign subsidiary.
In a September 2015 interview with Michael Isikoff, Fiorina said that, in the weeks following the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001, she received a phone call from Michael Hayden, then the director of the National Security Agency, asking her assistance in providing HP computer servers to the NSA for expanded surveillance.
Hayden confirmed that he had made the request for HP servers as part of Stellar Wind, a 2001–2007 NSA warrantless surveillance program, but the details were not revealed to Fiorina at the time.
Fiorina's predecessor at HP had pushed for an outsider to replace him because he believed that the company had become complacent and that consensus-driven decision making was inhibiting the company's growth.
Fiorina instituted three major changes shortly after her arrival: replacing profit sharing with bonuses awarded if the company met financial expectations, a reduction in operating units from 83 to 12, and consolidating back-office functions.
In January 2004, Fiorina announced an agreement with Apple founder Steve Jobs for the iPod+HP—a co-branded iPod sold through HP's retail channels.
As part of the agreement, HP was forbidden from selling a competitor to the iPod until August 2006 and HP agreed to pre-install iTunes on every computer sold.
HP did not sell the newer versions of the iPod in a timely fashion, leaving them to sell an outdated device for several months.
By getting Fiorina to adopt the iPod as HP's music player, Jobs had effectively gotten his [iTunes] software installed on millions of computers for free, stifled his main competitor, and gotten a company that prided itself on invention to declare that Apple was a superior inventor.
In June 2001, Fiorina asked employees to either take pay cuts or use their allotted vacation time to cut additional costs, resulting in more than 80,000 people signing up and saving HP 130 million.
Despite these efforts from employees, in July Fiorina announced that 6,000 jobs would be cut, the biggest reduction in the company's 64-year history, but those cuts would not actually occur until after the Compaq merger was announced.
In September 2001, Fiorina said she intended to cut an additional 15,000 jobs in the event of a merger with Compaq.
Altogether, under Fiorina's leadership, HP had a net gain of employees, including employees from mergers as well as hires in countries outside the United States.
HP's revenue doubled and the rate of patent filings increased due to mergers with Compaq and other companies during Fiorina's stint as CEO.
However, the company underperformed by a number of other metrics: there were no gains in HP's net income despite a 70% gain in net income of the S&P 500 over this period; the company's debt rose from 4.25 billion to 6.75 billion; and its stock price fell by 50%, exceeding declines in the S&P 500 Information Technology Sector index and the NASDAQ.
The Compaq acquisition was not as transformative as Fiorina and the board had envisioned: in the merger proxy, they had forecasted that the PC division of the merged entities would generate an operating margin of 3.0% in 2003, while the actual figure was 0.1% in that year and 0.9% in 2004.
In 2004, HP fell dramatically short of its predicted third-quarter earnings, and Fiorina fired three executives during a 5 AM telephone call.
In early January 2005, the Hewlett-Packard board of directors discussed with Fiorina a list of issues that the board had regarding the company's performance and disappointing earning reports.
Less than a month later, the board brought back Tom Perkins and forced Fiorina to resign as chair and chief executive officer of the company.
The company's stock jumped 6.9 percent on news of her departure, adding almost three billion dollars to the value of HP in a single day.
On May 13, 2008, HP, under then-Chief Executive Mark Hurd, confirmed that it had reached a deal to buy Electronic Data Systems, the largest since the Compaq purchase.
Finance, Fiorina received a severance package valued at 21 million, which consisted of 2.5 times her annual salary plus bonus and the balance from accelerated vesting of stock options.
Following her forced resignation from HP, several commentators ranked Fiorina as one of the worst American (or tech) CEOs of all time.
During Fiorina's tenure as CEO, HP leased or purchased five planes, including two Gulfstream IVs, to replace four aging aircraft, only one of which had the range to fly overseas.
Jeffrey Sonnenfeld of Yale School of Management said in August 2015 that problems with Fiorina's leadership style were what caused HP to lose half its value during her tenure.
In April 2012, Fiorina became chair of Good360, a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan nonprofit organization in Alexandria, Virginia, which helps companies donate excess merchandise to charities.
Fiorina served as Fund Chair of One Woman Initiative (OWI), a partnership between the private sector and government agencies including the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the United States Department of State (DoS).
OWI said it would raise funds in order to give grants to achieve these objectives, with contributions managed through a separate section 501(c)(3) designated organization.
In June 2009, USAID announced that OWI grants totaling over 500,000 had been made to grassroots organizations in Azerbaijan, Egypt, India, Pakistan, and the Philippines.
On February 14, 2013, Opportunity International announced a partnership with Fiorina and OWI to provide financial resources, education and training to two million women living in poverty.
On May 4, 2015, Opportunity International announced that Fiorina was resigning from the Board after the announcement of her presidential candidacy.
Fiorina is the chair and CEO of the Fiorina Foundation, a charity that has donated to causes including Care-a-Van for Kids, a transportation program to aid seriously ill children, and the African Leadership Academy, an educational institution in South Africa.
Responding to Barack Obama's victory over Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Primary, Fiorina sought to attract more women to the Republican camp by praising Clinton's effort.
Fiorina spent two years leading the Central Intelligence Agency's External Advisory Board, from 2007 to 2009, and became chair of that board, when the board was first created in 2007 by then-CIA director Michael Hayden during the George W. Bush administration.
On November 4, 2009, Fiorina formally announced her candidacy in the 2010 Senate election in a bid to unseat incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer.
Fiorina's campaign in the Republican primary for that seat received a number of endorsements, including one from Sarah Palin in the form of a Facebook note.
After the ad went viral, the California Democratic Party created a parody of the ad depicting Fiorina herself as a demon sheep.
On June 8, 2010, Fiorina won the Republican primary election for the Senate with over 50 percent of the vote, beating Campbell and State Assemblyman Chuck DeVore.
As a private citizen, she stated that she voted for Proposition 8, which defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
Following an August 4, 2010, federal court ruling that Proposition 8 was unconstitutional, Fiorina expressed disagreement with the ruling, saying that California voters spoke clearly against same-sex unions when a majority approved the proposition in 2008.
In financial disclosures, Fiorina identified her net worth at between 30 million and 120 million, and by October 22, Fiorina had contributed a total of 6.5 million to her own race.
Sarah Palin was set to appear at a GOP fundraiser two weeks ahead of the November 2 election, but neither Meg Whitman nor Fiorina – both big-name Republicans – planned to attend.
On October 1, 2013, Al Cardenas, chair of the American Conservative Union (ACU), appointed Fiorina as chair of the American Conservative Union Foundation (ACUF), the ACU's educational arm.
The ACU is a conservative 501(c)(4) organization, while the ACUF is its affiliated 501(c)(3) foundation, which organizes the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
It was speculated that Fiorina would announce her candidacy for the Republican nomination for president in that speech, but Fiorina did not, instead making her official announcement months later, on May 4, 2015, in a television and promotional video, therein repeating her talking points from CPAC and including an attack on Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
Fiorina ruled out running for the U.S. Senate in 2016, but refused to rule out running for president in 2016 or Governor of California in 2018.
Shortly after Fiorina announced her entry into the 2016 presidential race, in a replay of her 2010 senatorial race, the social media and editorial outlets questioned her tenure as HP's CEO as a basis for her run for president, focusing around US job cuts and offshoring that Fiorina directed during her tenure at HP, and contrasting it with the high compensation bonuses she received from the company.
Failing to qualify for one of the Fox News prime-time debate slots, she was relegated to the debate airing earlier the same day.
In an online poll by NBC and SurveyMonkey on August 10, Fiorina came in fourth of the seventeen Republican contenders with 8% of the sampled Republican primary voters saying they would support her in a primary or a caucus, a gain in support of six points from previous polling data.
As part of her financial disclosures related to her candidacy, Fiorina reported a net worth of 59 million, with 12 million in income in 2013.
Her performances in early debates for the Republican primary nomination, particularly her rebukes of front-runner Donald Trump in the September 16, 2015 debate, earned her a significant spike in the polls from 3% to 15% post-debate, but her polling numbers dropped to 4% by October, and to 3% in December.
On February 10, due to weak results in the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries, Fiorina announced that her campaign was suspended.
On April 27, 2016, Cruz announced that, if he were selected as the party's presidential nominee, he would choose Fiorina as his vice presidential running mate, but after losing the Indiana primary six days later, he suspended his campaign, making her vice-presidential candidacy the shortest in modern American history.
She expressed support for legislation to ban abortions 20 weeks after fertilization, with an exception for cases of rape, incest, or danger to the life of the mother.
Fiorina opposes legalization of marijuana, but says that she believes in states' rights, and that as president she will not enforce the federal ban on marijuana in Colorado, where voters have legalized marijuana as a matter of state law.
In California, Fiorina supported the DREAM Act, which would allow children brought to the U.S. by their parents when they were under the age of 16 to secure permanent U.S. residency and a path to citizenship, if they graduate from college or serve in the armed forces.
Fiorina believes employers should decide whether they should provide paid maternity leave to their employees and it should not be mandated by the government, noting that some companies in the private sector are already doing so.
Fiorina opposes the normalization of U.S.-Cuba relations, telling Hugh Hewitt that if elected she would close the U.S. embassy in Havana.
Fiorina was critical of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) health care reform legislation during the debate in 2009 that led to the act's passage.
Fiorina opposed the federal stimulus package of 2009 intended to create short-term job growth and invest in infrastructure, education, health, and renewable energy, calling it a waste of taxpayer money.
She also advocates zero-based budgeting for the federal budget, which would start the annual budgeting process for each department from a baseline of zero.
In 1981, she was introduced to AT&T executive Frank Fiorina, who told her on their third date that she would one day be running the company.
Frank Fiorina took early retirement from AT&T in 1998 at age 48 to travel with and support his wife in her career.
She underwent a double mastectomy at Stanford Hospital in March 2009, followed by chemotherapy, which caused her to temporarily lose her hair, and later radiation therapy.
According to the financial disclosures filed by Fiorina's campaign in June 2015, she and her husband have a combined net worth of $59 million.
Fiorina has released the income tax returns that she and her husband jointly filed in 2013 and 2012; in those years, the Fiorinas reported income of almost $2 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
Fiorina and her husband live in a home in the Washington, D.C. suburb of Mason Neck, Virginia, overlooking the Potomac River.
At the time of the 2010 Senate election, Fiorina and her husband lived in Los Altos Hills, California, a San Francisco Bay area suburb.
Between 2005 and 2012, Fiorina and her husband also owned a condominium in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, where they lived for roughly half the year; they sold the condo for $5.3 million.
radix point is set to the left of the significand (fraction in IBM documentation and the figures) in increments of 4 bits.
Since the base is 16, the exponent in this form is about twice as large as the equivalent in IEEE 754, in order to have similar exponent range in binary, 9 exponent bits would be required.
This value is normalized by moving the radix point left four bits (one hexadecimal digit) at a time until the leftmost digit is zero, yielding 0.01110110101.
Zero (0.0) is represented in normalized form as all zero bits, which is arithmetically the value +0.0 × 16 = +0 × 16 ≈ +0.000000 × 10 = 0.
Given a fraction of all-bits zero, any combination of positive or negative sign bit and a non-zero biased exponent will yield a value arithmetically equal to zero.
A conversion of double precision hexadecimal float to decimal string would require at least 18 significant digits in order to convert back to the same hexadecimal float value.
Called extended-precision by IBM, a quadruple-precision floating-point format was added to the System/370 series and was available on some S/360 models (S/360-85, -195, and others by special request or simulated by OS software).
A conversion of extended precision hexadecimal float to decimal string would require at least 35 significant digits in order to convert back to the same hexadecimal float value.
Starting with the S/390 G5 in 1998, IBM mainframes have also included IEEE binary floating-point units which conform to the IEEE 754 Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic.
IEEE decimal floating-point was added to IBM System z9 GA2 in 2007 using millicode and in 2008 to the IBM System z10 in hardware.
Modern IBM mainframes support three floating-point radices with 3 hexadecimal (HFP) formats, 3 binary (BFP) formats, and 3 decimal (DFP) formats.
There are two floating-point units per core; one supporting HFP and BFP, and one supporting DFP; there is one register file, FPRs, which holds all 3 formats.
Starting with the z13 in 2015, processors have added a vector facility that includes 32 vector registers, each 128 bits wide; a vector register can contain two 64-bit or four 32-bit floating-point numbers.
The traditional 16 floating-point registers are overlaid on the new vector registers so some data can be manipulated with traditional floating-point instructions or with the newer vector instructions.
Thermoluminescence is a form of luminescence that is exhibited by certain crystalline materials, such as some minerals, when previously absorbed energy from electromagnetic radiation or other ionizing radiation is re-emitted as light upon heating of the material.
In thermoluminescence dating, this can be used to date buried objects that have been heated in the past, since the ionizing dose received from radioactive elements in the soil or from cosmic rays is proportional to age.
This phenomenon has been applied in the thermoluminescent dosimeter, a device to measure the radiation dose received by a chip of suitable material that is carried by a person or placed with an object.
Thermoluminescence is a common geochronology tool for dating pottery or other fired archeological materials, as heat empties or resets the thermoluminescent signature of the material (Figure 1).
Beach nourishment is a problem worldwide and receives large amounts of attention due to the millions of dollars spent yearly in order to keep beaches beautified for tourists, e.g., in Waikiki, Hawaii.
Sands with sizes 90-150 μm (very fine sand) were found to migrate from the swash zone 67% faster than sand grains of 150-212 μm (fine sand; Figure 3).
Furthermore, the technique was shown to provide a passive method of policing sand replenishment and a passive method of observing riverine or other sand inputs along shorelines (Figure 4).
It adds a significant discharge to the Thames—when entering Oxford, the Thames's discharge is , but after leaving and consuming the Cherwell it has increased to .
The village of Charwelton takes its name from the river, but lies on the river's upper course in Northamptonshire, suggesting that the pronunciation was historically used more widely.
Helidon Hill immediately north of the source forms a watershed: on the south side, the Cherwell feeds the River Thames and thence the North Sea at the Thames Estuary; on the north side, the River Leam feeds the Warwickshire River Avon and the River Severn and thence the Bristol Channel.
Two miles further on, the River Cherwell swings westward for a few miles, passing below the village of Chipping Warden through Edgcote, site of a Romano-British villa.
The Oxford Canal enters the river valley here and more or less follows the Cherwell on its route to Oxford until it reaches Thrupp near Kidlington.
The canal was projected to connect the Coventry Canal to the River Thames, and the Act of Parliament authorising it was passed in 1769.
Construction of the Oxford Canal began near Coventry but the canal didn't reach Banbury until 1778, and it was a further 12 years before it was completed, the first boats reaching Oxford in January 1790.
The River Cherwell skirts the east side of Cropredy itself and passes under Cropredy Bridge, site of a major battle of the English Civil War in 1644.
The battle was a protracted encounter with riverside skirmishes concentrated along a three-mile (5 km) stretch of the River Cherwell between Hay's bridge and a ford at Slat Mill near Great Bourton.
Cropredy's church contains relics from the battle, and local tradition holds that local people hid the church's eagle lectern in the River Cherwell in case marauding soldiers damaged or stole it.
South of Cropredy Bridge, the river runs through fields used for the annual Cropredy Festival, a three-day music event run by the band Fairport Convention.
After a few miles the River Cherwell passes under the M40 motorway and enters the industrial hinterland of Banbury, passing the site of another water mill.
A Roman villa at nearby Wykham Park dates from around the year 250 but it was the Saxons who built the first settlement west of the River Cherwell.
The brick-built mill building and the miller's cottage have been modernised and extended to serve Banbury as a theatre and arts centre.
On the west bank is a large housing estate built in the 1970s named Cherwell Heights and a mile south the ancient village of Bodicote on higher ground to the west of the river.
Downstream of Banbury, most of the villages in the Cherwell valley are similarly set back from the river on higher ground to avoid flooding.
After Bodicote, the river passes an industrial estate at Twyford Mill before reaching King's Sutton, a village noted for the splendid lofty spire on its church which overlooks the river.
Two miles further on, the Cherwell reaches the settlement of Nell Bridge and passes under a main road leading to the village of Aynho which is a mile to the east on a low hill overlooking the river.
Shortly after Nell Bridge, the River Cherwell crosses the Oxford Canal at a right-angle, flowing in on the east side and out over a weir on the west side.
This is because the lock lowers the canal by only and the extra width of the lock chamber compensates for the smaller amount of water which would otherwise be passed from the River Cherwell to feed the lower level of the canal.
South of this junction, the original line continues down the Cherwell valley to Oxford; east of it, a more direct route (opened in 1910 by the Great Western Railway) runs via Bicester and High Wycombe to London, originally served by trains to Paddington station but now by trains to Marylebone station.
On the line to Oxford, the River Cherwell supplied water to the railway, feeding long troughs laid on top of the sleepers between the rails so that steam locomotives could scoop up water to replenish their tanks without stopping.
The mill at Lower Heyford was last rebuilt in the early 19th century and worked as a mill as recently as 1946.
Two miles south of Rousham the river is crossed by a medieval packhorse bridge at Northbrook and a further mile south the course of Akeman Street, a Roman road, crosses the river.
The River Cherwell passes under the Woodstock to Bicester road and shortly after the Oxford Canal flows into it from the east.
The canal and river pass a now-demolished cement works which was once supplied by canal narrowboats and which used water extracted from the river.
After sharing their course for about , the Oxford Canal and River Cherwell diverge at Shipton Weir Lock (a similar lozenge-shaped structure to the lock at Aynho Weir).
The bridge carrying the railway over the canal was the site of a major train crash in December 1874 in which more than 30 people died (Shipton-on-Cherwell train crash).
The most substantial remnant is the church which stands in lonely isolation in the watermeadows but there are ruins of a manor house too.
There was a Romano-British settlement not far from the River Cherwell near Kidlington and a substantial Romano-British villa across the river at Islip.
The River Cherwell reaches the northern outskirts of Oxford and runs south on the eastern edge of north Oxford town centre.
Near Summertown it passes the Victoria Arms riverside pub at Marston and then under a modern bridge that is part of Marston Ferry Road.
A little further south, the Cherwell passes Wolfson College (a graduate college of the University of Oxford), the Cherwell Boathouse (where punts can be hired) and the playing fields of the Dragon School.
Parson's Pleasure and Dame's Delight used to provide nude bathing facilities for male and female bathers respectively, but both are now defunct.
One is Mesopotamia, which is a long thin island just south of the Parks with a path that provides a pleasant walk.
Early on May Morning, students sometimes jump off the bridge into the river, but this is a dangerous pastime, especially if the river is low.
Punts are typically hired from a punt station by Magdalen Bridge, or the Cherwell Boathouse (just to the north of the University Parks).
It is possible to punt all the way from the Isis, north past the University Parks, and out beyond the ring road.
The Withywindle river in J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy world of Middle-earth has been identified with the River Cherwell near Tolkien's home in Oxford.
The confluence of the Thames and Cherwell was the site of early settlements and the River Cherwell marked the boundary between the Dobunni tribe to the west and the Catuvellauni tribe to the east (these were pre-Roman Celtic tribes).
A Romano-British settlement grew up north of the confluence, partly because the site was naturally protected from attack on the east by the River Cherwell and on the west by the River Thames.
This settlement dominated the pottery trade in what is now central southern England and pottery was distributed by boats on the Thames and its tributaries.
In the 17th century goods seem to have been carried between Oxford and Banbury in flat-bottomed boats, but the river was not made properly navigable.
The assembly elections used the mixed member proportional representation, a form of additional member system, with 14 directly elected constituencies and 11 London-wide top-up seats.
Unlike their predecessors, Wendy Harris and Marvin White, this pair was able to participate in combat with abilities of their own.
The twins' personalities were heavily based on Donny and Marie Osmond, who were extremely popular at the time and had their own show on ABC as well.
However, by the final seasons, the twins were largely marginalized in favor of well established DC Comics teenage superheroes like Firestorm, and were wholly eliminated in the final season in favor of Cyborg.
Velez, an avowed die-hard fan of the Wonder Twins, intended to begin a revival of the characters, but was taken off the series after the first issue with the Wonder Twins.
Their parents died when they were still babies during a plague, and, because of their origin, no Exorians want to adopt them.
Eventually, as teens, the pair escape the circus and hide on a planet where a space villain called Grax (an enemy of Superman) has established his headquarters.
The twins decide to travel to Earth and warn the Justice League, which is how they come to replace Wendy and Marvin (who were planning on retiring as heroes anyway) as their sidekicks.
The heroes arrange for the kids to live with an old scientist named Professor Carter Nichols and they even take secret identities as Johan and Joanna Fleming.
During their fight with the JLA, Zan becomes an ice golem, a water monster, and a demonic-looking whirlpool, while Jayna becomes a griffin, a werewolf, and a sea serpent.
The Wonder Comics imprint is considered part of the current DCU, so this places the Wonder Twins in current DC continuity.
In September of 2019, the Wonder Twins have a cameo appearance in Action Comics #1015, which also guest stars new Wonder Comics hero Naomi.
Wonder Comics is also having their own first crossover event, taking place in Young Justice issue #12, which will feature Naomi and the Wonder Twins as guest stars in Young Justice.
Zan can transform into water at any state (solid, liquid, gas) and add to his mass by incorporating water in his immediate area.
By transforming into an animal of Kryptonian origin, for instance, Jayna could gain both the creature's natural abilities and the super-powers that all Kryptonians possess under Earth-like conditions; she was even capable of overpowering Superman in the form of a Kryptonian animal.
The Wonder Twins have a pet Space Monkey named Gleek, who has a useful prehensile tail and who could act as a conduit for the twins to activate their powers should they be out of reach.
Antoine Jacques Claude Joseph, comte Boulay de la Meurthe (; 19 February 17614 February 1840), was a French politician and magistrate.
Called to the bar at Nancy in 1783, he presently went to Paris, where he rapidly acquired a reputation as a lawyer and a speaker.
He represented La Meurthe in the Council of Five Hundred, of which he was twice president, but his views developed steadily in the conservative direction.
Fearing a possible renewal of the Terror, he became an active member of the plot for the overthrow of the Directory in November 1799.
He was rewarded by the presidency of the legislative commission formed by Napoleon to draw up the new constitution; and as president of the legislative section of the council of state he examined and revised the draft of the civil code.
In eight years of hard work as director of a special land commission he settled the titles of land acquired by the French nation at the Revolution, and placed on an unassailable basis the rights of the proprietors who had bought this land from the government.
He received the grand cross of the Legion of Honour and the title of count, was a member of Napoleon's privy council, but was never in high favour at court.
He was allowed to return to France in 1819, but took no further active part in politics, although he presented himself unsuccessfully for parliamentary election in 1824 and 1827.
He devoted the last years of his life to writing his memoirs, which, with the exception of a fragment, remained unpublished as of 1911.
His elder son, Comte Henri Georges Boulay de la Meurthe (1797-1858), was a constant Bonapartist, and after the election of Louis Napoleon to the presidency, was named (January 1849) vice-president of the republic.
Donatello, nickname Don or Donnie, is a fictional superhero and one of the four main characters of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics and all related media.
Like all of the brothers, he is named after a Renaissance artist; in this case, he is named after Italian sculptor Donatello.
While the comics portrayal of the team has no official command structure, in the early stories he is depicted as second-in-command.
In the first issue, he is the one that killed the Shredder by knocking him and his grenade off the roof.
During the turtles' exile to Northampton, Donatello becomes obsessed with fixing up and repairing the many broken things within the farmhouse they were living in.
Most notably he spent days and nights fixing the boiler to give his family hot running water and builds a windmill and a water wheel to provide electricity.
Grabbing a stick, an angry Jones continually pokes the turtle until he loses his temper and sends Casey careening into the water.
During a battle with Shredder's Elite Guards in the ruins of the Second Time Around Shop, Donatello falls through the floor and breaks his leg.
Seeing their ally Karai subdued and about to be killed, Donatello grabs one of the Foot's machine guns and repeatedly shoots the Foot Elite.
At the end of the story the turtles, April and Casey move back to New York save for Donatello who chooses to stay in Northampton with Master Splinter to heal from his injury as well as reflect on everything that had happened.
While meditating with Splinter, Donatello receives a vision of the future where he is in the village of Chihaya in Japan.
After encountering the turtle vigilante ally Nobody in civilian guise he returns with him to New York to help his brothers battle Baxter Stockman.
In the current comics, Donatello finds an armored truck in the sewers which apparently had been part of a bank robbery in the sixties.
The creatures turn out to be a group of Utroms which had been stranded in the Jungle during their first stay on Earth and had been living in secret thanks to their Quantum Inversion Redimensioning device which could alter their size.
The process could not be reversed on Donatello, possibly due to his mutation, leaving him the size of an action figure.
While the Utroms work on returning him to normal, Donatello put his new size to use infiltrating a terrorist organizations warehouse.
In the Image Comics incarnation of the TMNT, he became a cyborg after his body was partially destroyed after he was shot and dropped out of a helicopter (he maintained a positive attitude nonetheless, although he was constantly at risk of losing his mind to the cyborg half).
Leonardo blamed the cpu of Don's armor for his death; however, Donatello wasn't dead but was separated from his body, and with the help of his brothers he returned to his body.
In the independent published series of the Image Comics, Issue #24, Don's armor began to malfunction and was so powerful Donatello was on his last legs until he made a deal with Baxter Stockman who Don was reluctant to work with but had no choice.
Donatello is rid of most of his body metal by issue #25 and Baxter informs him his shell had regrown and as a result he was back to being a non-cyborg turtle.
Baxter died once more when Don's metal particles wouldn't help restore his body as a result Baxter requested Donatello give April O'Neil his regards and he died laughing maniacally.
Donatello was then by the end of the issue completely rid of all metal particles and had kept his and Baxter's ordeal a secret.
He was also chosen of the Turtles by a group of Aliens known as the Sons of Silence to share their wisdom.
The news of his supposed death spread all over the web and IGN did an interview with Tom Waltz, the script writer and he called the final scene a beautiful rendered scene, catching the emotion of the family.
In Issue #45, Donatello wasn't dead as his spirit was in an alternate plane and he was barely clinging to life.
Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael carried Donatello's body into the freezer to slow down the bleeding and increase his chance of survival.
Splinter finds Donatello's spirit and guides his son back to earth, however, due to Donatello wearing a helmet to keep his consciousness alive, his mind is in Metalhead, while his own body is being restored to how it was before his near demise.
He's trying his best to put on a brave face (so to speak), but being trapped in a robot body has been an upsetting experience.
The Fugitoid tries to help Donnie adapt to having his mind in a robot body while Harold sees to Metalhead’s repairs (the robot having been trashed by Bebop and Rocksteady).
In issue #50, Metalhead self-destructed and Donatello returned to his organic body which has now been outfitted with an artificial shell.
Donatello is not as rowdy and violent as his brothers, but he can get a little annoyed with them on occasion.
He is more interested in his work than in his ninjutsu but he still attends to ninja practice and works hard there as well as his projects.
In the fourth season, during an outbreak of mutations of people and animals in New York, Don got a nasty gash by a monster while fighting several monsters with his brothers.
This obsession caused him to disregard anything else, such as the gang war between the Foot Clan and the Purple Dragons, as unimportant.
It wasn't until seeing his brothers in danger from the Cyber Shredder did he realize he was ignoring his responsibilities to help them and promised not to let his obsession with saving Master Splinter take control again.
In the first three live action films, Donatello, like Leonardo, is arguably less mature than he was in the original comics and the 1987 animated series, as he is shown joking around more.
However, the second film clearly established Donatello as the most scientifically-minded turtle as well as the most introspective, feeling dejected when he learns that the ooze that created the Turtles only exists because of an accident, although Splinter consoles his dejection by pointing out that the circumstances of their origins cannot define their present worth.
The first film plays up the relationship between him and Casey Jones; in all other versions of the TMNT, Raphael, not Donatello, is closest to Casey, except for the 1987 cartoon, in which Jones does not figure prominently.
This is apparently because the scene in which Donatello and Casey bond over the fixing of an old pickup truck was based on a similar scene involving Casey and Raphael in the Mirage comics.
Corey Feldman famously provides Donatello's voice in the first and third live-action films, Ernie Reyes Jr. does all of the martial arts fight scenes and stunt scenes as Donatello, while Adam Carl filled in for the second movie during Feldman's stint in rehabilitation.
In the third film, Donatello is the only Turtle who is not tempted to stay in the Feudal Japan of the past, saying that he can't live without technology.
The films also portray Donatello as being close with Michelangelo, bantering with him during fight sequences, going off to the side when Leo and Raph are arguing, and in general hanging out in their spare time.
In the 2007 film, Donatello runs an IT tech support line to earn money for the family and keeps an eye on Mikey.
In the first half of the movie Donatello's skills are more focused on keeping the family together and on income than instead of inventing inventions and finding creative ways to solve problems.
It is a combined effort of Leo being gone, Raph unable to control his temper and Donnie's leadership and logically minded skills that add up-to the reason as why he's been put into this position.
With the combined efforts of all of these reasons is why Donnie and Raph argue more in this film than in most other depictions of their relationship.
Raph is angry that Donnie has been named leader instead of himself while Leo is away and Donnie is angry that Raph hasn't been pulling his weight to support them.
This disagreement is further explained in the prequel comics by the fact that Donatello does not trust Nightwatcher, because no one knows what side he is really on and because he uses fear to accomplish his ends.
Donatello states that Raphael uses many of the same tactics, and hints that he may suspect what his brother really does at night.
Such action depicts Donatello as a second in command while Leonardo is in Central America, forced to be the responsible one in Leonardo's absence and teach his brothers what Leo would in his place.
However, Raphael felt he was better suited to be in charge and openly asks Splinter why he was not considered for the role.
His personality in this film is very calm and measured, and was also given a much more nerdy portrayal than in previous adaptations, on account of his large glasses with the middle taped.
He also has a similar personality to his 1987 and 2003 counterparts where he is always talking of calculations and constantly confusing his brothers with them.
Like Michelangelo and Leonardo, Donatello wears a glove on his left hand, has a tech pack on his shell and boots although you can partly see his toes making only him, Raphael and Michelangelo the only turtles to stay true to their other incarnations with the two toes.
In the video games based on the 1987 animated series, Donatello has the longest range, although he cannot inflict as much damage as Leonardo, who has the second-longest range; one notable exception is the first NES game, where Donatello both did the most damage and had the longest range, though his attacks were slow.
While Leonardo is the default turtle outside the gear loadout, he, Michelangelo and Raphael can only be picked through the said loadout selection similar to the premier skin characters.
Classical swine fever (CSF) or hog cholera (also sometimes called pig plague based on the German word ) is a highly contagious disease of swine (Old World and New World pigs).
In the acute form of the disease, in all age groups, there is fever, huddling of sick animals, loss of appetite, dullness, weakness, conjunctivitis, constipation followed by diarrhoea, and an unsteady gait.
It was believed to have been eradicated in the United Kingdom by 1966 (according to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs), but an outbreak occurred in East Anglia in 2000.
Less virulent strains can give rise to subacute or chronic infections that may escape detection, while still causing abortions and stillbirths.
The incubation period of CSF ranges from 2 to 14 days, but clinical signs may not be apparent until after 2 to 3 weeks.
Instead, countries within the EU have implemented hunting restrictions designed to limit the movement of infected boars, as well as using marker and emergency vaccines to inhibit the spread of infection.
Possible sources for maintaining and introducing infection include the wide transport of pigs and pork products, as well as endemic CSF within wild boar and feral pig populations.
Luke Collis Sienkowski (born January 14, 1974), better known as the great Luke Ski or simply as Luke Ski, is a parody, filk, and rap artist who writes, records and performs comedy music.
The story deals with labor troubles in a pajama factory, where workers' demands for a seven-and-a-half cent raise are going unheeded.
The original Broadway production opened on May 13, 1954, at the St. James Theatre, and ran for 1,063 performances, with a brief stop at the Shubert Theatre at the end of the run.
The original production, produced by Frederick Brisson, Robert E. Griffith and Harold S. Prince, won a Tony Award for Best Musical.
Meanwhile, Hines, the popular efficiency expert, is in love with Gladys, the company president's secretary, but is pushing her away with his jealous behavior.
Babe, however, is still determined to fight for their cause, and kicks her foot into the machinery, causes a general breakdown and Sid reluctantly fires her.
After the main meeting, the Grievance Committee meets at Babe's house, to discuss further tactics, such as mismatching sizes of pajamas and sewing the fly-buttons onto the bottoms such that they are likely to come off and leave their wearer pants-less.
Using Gladys' key, Sid accesses the firm's books and discovers that the boss, Hasler, has already tacked on the extra seven and one-half cents to the production cost, but has kept all the extra profits for himself.
In Gladys' office, Hines, still jealous out of his mind, flings knives past Sid and Gladys (deliberately missing, he claims), narrowly missing an increasingly paranoid Mr. Hasler.
At the time of the revival, Adler was quoted as saying that he wrote the song for Jimmy Durante in 1964.
The original Broadway production opened at the St. James Theatre on May 13, 1954, and closed on November 24, 1956, after 1,063 performances.
Starting in late-May 1954, MacLaine filled the role for several months, as Haney was out of commission with an injured ankle.
Director/producer Hal B. Wallis was an audience member at one of MacLaine's performances, and signed her as a contract player for Paramount Pictures.
The film version was released by Warner Bros. in 1957 and featured the original stage cast except for Janis Paige, whose role is played by Doris Day, and Stanley Prager, whose role is played by Jack Straw.
A Broadway revival opened on December 9, 1973, at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, but it closed on February 3, 1974, after just 65 performances.
It was directed by George Abbott, one of the two directors of the original production in 1954, with choreography by Zoya Leporska.
A West End revival arrived at the Victoria Palace in October 1999 having originated at Birmingham Rep and transferred to the Victoria Palace via Toronto.
Directed by Simon Callow, it briefly starred Ulrika Johnson as Babe (Birmingham Rep), but she left the production when it travelled to Toronto where Babe was played by Camilla Scott, then in London, Leslie Ashe.
Sid Sorokin was played by Graham Bickley throughout, earning himself a Dora Award nomination for 'Outstanding Performance by a male in a Principal Role' in Toronto.
The Roundabout Theatre Company revival, produced by special arrangement with Jeffrey Richards, James Fuld, Jr. and Scott Landis, opened on February 23, 2006 and closed on June 17, 2006, after 129 performances (and 41 previews).
Kathleen Marshall was choreographer and director, with a cast starring Harry Connick, Jr., making his Broadway acting debut as Sid, Kelli O'Hara as Babe, Michael McKean as Hines, Roz Ryan as Mabel, and Megan Lawrence as Gladys.
The production's sold out run at Chichester ended on 8 June 2013, and on 1 May 2014 it transferred to the West End's Shaftesbury Theatre.
The oldest comic publishing company on this list is the now-defunct book publishing company, David McKay Publications that was founded in 1882 and published comics from 1935 to 1950.
Pennsylvania cities may theoretically be first-class, second-class, second-class A, or third-class (of which there are 54), according to population and adoption of certain ordinances.
However, all first-class (of which there is 1), second-class (of which there is 1), and second-class A (of which there is 1) cities, as well as 24 third-class cities, have adopted Home Rule Charters, which change a city's relationship with the state so much that they are generally no longer considered to be a city under state law.
In addition to Home Rule Charters, third-class cities were able to adopt Optional Charters from 1957 to 1972, and all cities (since 1972) have been able to adopt Optional Plans.
Optional Charters and Plans function approximately the same way, the major difference being that new applications for the former are no longer accepted and that the latter has been generalized to apply to any municipality in the state.
The third-class cities which adopted Optional Charters before 1972 and have not since adopted Home Rule Charters, of which there are 11, still retain them.
Optional Charters and Plans function mostly to allow the city (or any other municipality, in the case of Optional Plans) to design its own form of local government, but do not significantly change the relationship between the city (or other municipality) and the state, and therefore these cities are still considered cities under state law.
Finally, the City of Parker employs a unique (for Pennsylvania cities) form of local government, that of the weak mayor council form, which is established under a special law uniquely for that city; it is still considered a city under state law.
Because of Home Rule Charters, Optional Charters, Optional Plans, and Parker's unique situation, only 14 of Pennsylvania's cities still use one of the two standard forms of Pennsylvania city government, the council-manager or mayor-council forms.
In geology and physical geography, a plateau (, , or ; ; plural plateaus or plateaux), also called a high plain or a tableland, is an area of a highland, usually consisting of relatively flat terrain, that is raised significantly above the surrounding area, often with one or more sides with deep hills.
Plateaus can be formed by a number of processes, including upwelling of volcanic magma, extrusion of lava, and erosion by water and glaciers.
Plateaus can be formed by a number of processes, including upwelling of volcanic magma, extrusion of lava, and erosion by water and glaciers.
The underlining mechanism in forming plateaus from upwelling starts when magma rises from the mantle, causing the ground to swell upward.
For plateaus formed by extrusion, the rock is built up from lava spreading outward from cracks and weak areas in the crust.
Plateaus can also be formed by the erosional processes of glaciers on mountain ranges, leaving them sitting between the mountain ranges.
Computer modeling studies suggest that high plateaus may also be partially a result from the feedback between tectonic deformation and dry climatic conditions created at the lee side of growing orogens.
The plateau is sufficiently high to reverse the Hadley cell convection cycles and to drive the monsoons of India towards the south.
The lake lies at an elevation of , one of the highest lakes in the world, and is long, wide, and deep on average.
Some other major plateaus in Asia are: Najd in the Arabian Peninsula elevation 762 to 1,525 m (2,500 to 5,003 ft), Armenian Highlands (≈, elevation ), Iranian plateau (≈, elevation ), Anatolian Plateau, Mongolian Plateau (≈, elevation ), and the Deccan Plateau (≈, elevation ).
Another very large plateau is the icy Antarctic Plateau, which is sometimes referred to as the Polar Plateau, home to the geographic South Pole and the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, which covers most of East Antarctica where there are no known mountains but rather high of superficial ice and which spreads very slowly toward the surrounding coastline through enormous glaciers.
Thus, if that same ice cap were suddenly removed, the large areas of the frozen white continent would be flooded by the surrounding Antarctic Ocean or Southern Ocean.
On the other hand, were the ice cap melts away too gradually, the surface of the land beneath it would gradually rebound away through isostasy from the center of the Earth and that same land would ultimately rise above sea level.
How this came to be is that over 10 million years ago, a river was already there, though not necessarily on exactly the same course.
Then, subterranean geological forces caused the land in that part of North America to gradually rise by about a centimeter per year for millions of years.
An unusual balance occurred: the river that would become the Colorado River was able to erode into the crust of the Earth at a nearly equal rate to the uplift of the plateau.
Now, millions of years later, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is at an elevation of about above sea level, and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is about above sea level.
A tepui (), or tepuy (), is a table-top mountain or mesa found in the Guiana Highlands of South America, especially in Venezuela and western Guyana.
Tepuis can be considered minute plateaus and tend to be found as isolated entities rather than in connected ranges, which makes them the host of a unique array of endemic plant and animal species.
They are typically composed of sheer blocks of Precambrian quartz arenite sandstone that rise abruptly from the jungle, giving rise to spectacular natural scenery.
The Colombian capital city of Bogota sits on an Andean plateau known as the Altiplano Cundiboyacense roughly the size of Switzerland.
Averaging a height of above sea level, this northern Andean plateau is situated in the country's eastern range and is divided into three main flat regions: the Bogotá savanna, the valleys of Ubaté and Chiquinquirá, and the valleys of Duitama and Sogamoso.
It lies in west-central South America, where the Andes are at their widest, is the most extensive area of high plateau on Earth outside of Tibet.
It forms the largest continuous area of its altitude in the continent, with little of its surface falling below 1500 m (4,921 ft), while the summits reach heights of up to 4550 m (14,928 ft).
Another example is the Highveld which is the portion of the South African inland plateau which has an altitude above approximately 1500 m, but below 2100 m, thus excluding the Lesotho mountain regions.
The Western Plateau, part of the Australian Shield, is an ancient craton covering much of the continent's southwest, an area of some 700,000 square kilometres.
The North Island Volcanic Plateau is an area of high land occupying much of the centre of the North Island of New Zealand, with volcanoes, lava plateaus, and crater lakes, the most notable of which is the country's largest lake, Lake Taupo.
From 1996 to 2012, 2014 to 2018, the NCAA Division III men's basketball championship was held at the Salem Civic Center in Salem, Virginia.
Since 2017, the tournament is a 64-team single-elimination tournament, with teams advancing from four regionals to the semifinals and final in Fort Wayne.
For 2013, as part of the celebration of the 75th NCAA Division I tournament, the championship games in both the NCAA Division II and Division III tournaments were played at Philips Arena, now known as State Farm Arena, in Atlanta.
For 2020 only, the national semifinals will be played in Fort Wayne, but the championship game will return to Atlanta, with the NCAA choosing to hold the championship games of both Divisions II and III as part of the festivities surrounding the men's Division I Final Four.
The American Collegiate Athletic Association, formed in 2017 and starting play in 2017–18, will not be eligible for an automatic bid until 2019–20 (its third season of operation).
The Atlantic East Conference, which began play in 2018–19 with seven members that all sponsor men's basketball, will not be eligible for an automatic bid until the 2021 tournament for the same reason.
Boroughs and towns are subject to the Borough Code, and, unlike other forms of incorporated municipalities in Pennsylvania, are not classified according to population.
An additional twenty boroughs listed here are home rule municipalities, and the state classifies these as boroughs for certain purposes, even though they do not operate under the Borough Code in Pennsylvania Law.
In addition, two boroughs, Quakertown and Weatherly, have adopted Optional Plans, which allow them to change their form of local government but do not significantly change those boroughs' relationships with the state.
In the south it is separated from the Oder Lagoon in the mouth of the Oder River by the islands of Usedom/Uznam and Wolin, connected by three straits or branches of the Oder: Dziwna, Świna and Peene.
North border is a line from Cape Arkona on the German island of Rügen to the Gąski Lighthouse in the east of Kołobrzeg in Poland.
The Bay of Pomerania is crossed by a deepened waterway from the Szczecin seaport, via the river Oder, the Szczecin Lagoon, and Świna allowing large ships to enter the ports of Świnoujście and Szczecin.
It is consistently ranked as one of the best hospitals in the United States and serves as a teaching hospital for the Stanford University School of Medicine.
It is consistently ranked as one of the best hospitals in the United States by US News and World Report and serves as the primary teaching hospital for the Stanford University School of Medicine.
The facility, located at the north end of the university campus, includes the main hospital building, Stanford Comprehensive Cancer Center, Blake Wilbur Building, Boswell Building, Hoover Pavilion, Neurosciences Health Center, and the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences building, as well as miscellaneous professional offices & departments of the School of Medicine and Stanford Health Care, plus the recent expansions.
Among its many achievements, the first combined heart-lung transplant in the world was successfully completed at Stanford University Medical Center in 1981.
It provides a clinical environment for the medical school’s researchers as they study ways to translate new knowledge into effective patient care.
It became a trauma center in 1986 and first received American College of Surgeons certification as a Level I trauma center in 1998.
When the Stanford Medical School moved south from San Francisco in 1959, the Stanford Hospital was established and was co-owned with the city of Palo Alto; it was then known as Palo Alto-Stanford Hospital Center.
The Beckman Center for Molecular and Genetic Medicine opened in 1989; the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford opened in 1991; the Richard M. Lucas Center for Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Imaging opened in 1992.
In 2009, the Stanford outpatient clinics, which were running out of expansion room, were relocated to the Stanford Medicine Outpatient Center, a large new site in Redwood City, California formerly occupied by the corporate headquarters of Excite@Home.
In 2018, these outpatient facilities were expanded to receive the main campus’s outgoing Digestive Health Center and endoscopy suite, to make room for the new expansions/renovations at the main Stanford Hospital, in addition to nearly doubling the existing imaging facilities and adding an external parking structure at the Stanford Outpatient Center.
The inpatient facilities remain on the main campus, which as of 2019, has undergone another round of major expansions, renovations, and revitalization, including a brand-new inpatient structure, renovation of the old inpatient building, renovations of the Cancer Center and Blake Wilbur Building, and brand new emergency facilities, all located on a plot adjacent to the existing hospital.
These major renovations are part of Stanford University‘s long-term master planning for renovation and medical advancement, which have included past projects such as the Lucille Salter Packard Children‘s Hospital at Stanford and the Stanford Neurosciences Health Center.
Its aircraft is an EC 145 helicopter that can fly under both visual and instrument flight rules, allowing for response to calls in nearly any weather.
The hospital's medical staff numbers 1,910 with an additional 850 interns and residents, as well as nearly 1,500 registered nurses and approximately 610 licensed beds.
Stanford University Medical Center is world-renowned for its work in cardiovascular medicine and cardiothoracic surgery, organ transplantation, neurology, neurosurgery, and cancer medicine.
In 2007 it was ranked as the #10 best children's hospital in the United States by U.S. News & World Report.
According to the 2010 United States Census, South Carolina is the 24th most populous state with inhabitants, but the 40th largest by land area spanning of land.
All municipalities are responsible for providing local service including law enforcement, fire protection, waste and water management, planning and zoning, recreational facilities, and street lighting.
Under the mayor-council form of government, an elected municipal council is composed of a mayor and four or more council members.
The mayor's responsibilities include: staffing of all municipal employees; directing and supervising the administration of all departments, offices, and agencies; voting in, and presiding over, council meetings; and preparing the annual budget (with council), capital program (with council), and public financial reports.
Under the council form of government, the council can be composed of five, seven or nine members including the mayor, all elected, and each with one vote on council.
The council has the power to levy taxes and raise funds from other sources that match the operating and capital budgets.
Under the council-manager form of government, the council is composed of a mayor and four, six, or eight councilmen each with one vote.
The municipality must employ a manager, establish administrative departments upon recommendation of the manager, adopt an annual budget, provide an independent annual audit of the books and business affairs of the municipality, provide for the general health and welfare of the municipality, and enact ordinances of any nature and kind.
The manager is the head of the administrative branch of the municipal government and is responsible for staffing (including the hiring, firing and compensation of all municipal employees), preparing the annual budget and financial report for council adoption.
The largest municipality by population in South Carolina is the capital city Columbia with 129,272 residents, and the smallest municipality by population is Smyrna with 45 residents.
He served as the pastor of Marble Collegiate Church, New York, from 1932 until 1984, leading a Reformed Church in America congregation.
He earned degrees at Ohio Wesleyan University (where he became a brother of the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta) and Boston University School of Theology.
Raised as a Methodist and ordained as a Methodist minister in 1922, Peale changed his religious affiliation to the Reformed Church in America in 1932 and began a 52-year tenure as pastor of Marble Collegiate Church in New York City.
In 1951 this clinic of psychotherapy and religion grew into the American Foundation of Religion and Psychiatry, with Peale serving as president and Blanton as executive director.
During the depression Peale teamed with James Cash Penney, founder of J.C. Penney & Co.; Arthur Godfrey, the radio and TV personality; and Thomas J. Watson, President and Founder of IBM, to form the first board of 40Plus, an organization that helps unemployed managers and executives.
The fact that the book has sold 5 million copies is printed on the cover of the current edition in both paperback and hard cover, and directly contradicts exaggerated claims that the book has sold more than 20 million copies in 42 languages.
Other organizations founded by Peale include the Peale Center, the Positive Thinking Foundation and Guideposts Publications, all of which aim to promote Peale's theories about positive thinking.
President Ronald Reagan awarded Peale, for his contributions to the field of theology, the Presidential Medal of Freedom (the highest civilian honor in the United States) on March 26, 1984.
Peale's works came under criticism from several mental health experts, one of whom directly said Peale was a con man and a fraud.
Almost all of the experts and many of the testimonials that Peale quotes as supporting his philosophy are unnamed, unknown and unsourced.
While his techniques are not debated by psychologists, Peale said his theological practice and strategy was directed more at self-analysis, forgiveness, character development, and growth much like the Jesuits of the Catholic Church.
Murphy adds that repeated hypnosis defeats an individual's self-motivation, self-knowledge, unique sense of self, sense of reality, and ability to think critically.
If the unconscious of man ... can be conceptualized as a container for a small number of psychic fragments, then ideas like 'mind-drainage' follow.
Psychologist Albert Ellis, the founder of Rational emotive behavior therapy and influential psychologist of the 20th century, compared the Peale techniques with those of French psychologist, hypnotherapist and pharmacist Émile Coué, and Ellis says that the repeated use of these hypnotic techniques could lead to significant mental health problems.
He compares the black or white view of life that Peale teaches to a psychological disorder (borderline personality disorder), perhaps implying that dangerous mental habits which he sees in the disorder may be brought on by following the teaching.
Meyer adds that the proof that positive thinking cannot work is that according to Peale, even with God's power on one's side, one still cannot face negative reality, which is always stronger.
Faith that you could defeat an opponent who could run faster than you would be contemptible since it could only mean you expected God to lend you power He refused to lend your opponent or that you hoped your opponent lacked self-knowledge, lacked faith, and hence failed to use his real powers.
As for those competitions where luck or accident or providence might decide, certainly the faith which looked to luck or accident or providence would be contemptible, and also possibly fatal (Ibid, p. 284).
People under stress do one of two things; seek shelter or respond to harsh reality by a deeper recognition of what they are up against.
They offer easy comforts, easy solutions to problems and mysteries that sometimes perhaps, have no comforts or solutions at all, in glib, worldly terms.
The origin of the quote can be traced to the 1952 election, when Stevenson was informed by a reporter that Peale had been attacking him as unfit for the presidency because he was divorced.
Though Nixon and the Republicans tried to distance themselves from the furor caused by Peale's anti-Catholic stance, Democrats did not let voters forget.
President Truman, for one, accused Nixon of tacit approval of the anti-Catholic sentiment, and it remained a hot issue on the campaign trail.
At a later date, according to one report, Stevenson and Peale met, and Stevenson apologized to Peale for any personal pain his comments might have caused Peale, though he never publicly recanted the substance of his statements.
Peale was invited to attend a strategy conference of about thirty evangelicals in Montreux, Switzerland, by its host, the well-known evangelist Billy Graham, in mid-August 1960.
There they agreed to kick off a group called The National Conference of Citizens for Religious Freedom in Washington the following month.
On September 7, Peale served as its chairman and spoke for 150 Protestant clergymen, opposing the election of John F. Kennedy as president.
The Peale statement was further condemned by former President Harry Truman, the Board of Rabbis, and other leading Protestants such as Paul Tillich and John C. Bennett.
The fallout continued as Peale was condemned in a statement by one hundred religious leaders and dropped as a syndicated columnist by a dozen newspapers.
Dr. Peale was an optimist who believed that, whatever the antagonisms and complexities of modern life brought us, anyone could prevail by approaching life with a simple sense of faith.
And he served us by instilling that optimism in every Christian and every other person who came in contact with his writings or his hopeful soul.
In a productive and giving life that spanned the 20th century, Dr. Peale lifted the spirits of millions and millions of people who were nourished and sustained by his example, his teaching, and his giving.
While the Clinton family and all Americans mourn his loss, there is some poetry in his passing on a day when the world celebrates the birth of Christ, an idea that was central to Dr. Peale's message and Dr. Peale's work.
The Bay of Greifswald or Greifswald Bodden () is a basin in the southwestern Baltic Sea, off the shores of Germany in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
To the west is the island of Rügen; to the southeast, the island of Usedom; to the east, the Bay of Pomerania, and to the south, the German mainland.
The headlands of Mönchgut (in east Rügen) and Zudar (in south Rügen) – the former actually being made up of several peninsulae – subdivide the bay into many smaller bays.
The Bay of Greifswald is quite shallow, with an average depth of 5.6 m, and a maximum depth of 13.5 m. Its water is brackish rather than briny owing to inflow from rivers, and the Baltic Sea's complex hydrography (saltier water is generally found only at greater depths there).
Before German reunification in 1990, the Bay of Greifswald was a public watersports venue, unlike most of East Germany's Baltic coast.
The local geography made it easy to keep watch over the bay, thereby thwarting those who thought to use it to flee the country.
It is now a design company and a part of Iittala Group, which is also known for BodaNova, Rörstrand and Iittala design brands.
As of the 2010 U.S. Census, 3,564,494 Tennesseans, or just over 56% of the state's total population of 6,346,105, lived in municipalities.
Before 1954, all Tennessee municipalities were established by private act of the state legislature and operated under charters established by private act of the legislature.
In 1953, amendments to the Tennessee Constitution prohibited subsequent incorporations by private act and provided for several new forms of municipal charter.
These terms do not have legal significance in Tennessee and are not related to population, date of establishment, or type of municipal charter.
Under current state law (TCA Title 6), a minimum of 1,500 residents are required to incorporate as a new municipality under the mayor-alderman or city manager-commission charter, and a minimum of 5,000 residents are required to incorporate under a modified city manager-council charter.
In general, unincorporated areas within three miles of an existing municipality (within five miles if the municipality has a population of 100,000 or more) are not permitted to incorporate as new municipalities.
The Bay of Mecklenburg, which includes the Bay of Wismar and the Bay of Lübeck, connects to the Bay of Kiel in the northwest.
The Bay of Lübeck (, ) is a basin in the southwestern Baltic Sea, off the shores of German states of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Schleswig-Holstein.
Located in the North of the Bay, the Hansa-Park amusement park creates a popular sight for families all around the region and Southern Denmark.
The Pötenitzer Wiek lake splits the states of Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and got historical attention, as it gave East Germany refugees the possibility to flee from East Germany in to West Germany.
It is located southeast of Elbasan, southwest of Ohrid in North Macedonia, north of Korçë and northwest of Florina in Greece.
It was formed at the 2015 local government reform by the merger of the former municipalities Buçimas, Çërravë, Dardhas, Pogradec, Proptisht, Trebinjë, Udenisht and Velçan, that became municipal units.
It was known as İstarova or İstarye during Ottoman rule and was bounded to as kaza center in Görice Sanjak of Manastır Vilayet before Balkan Wars.
B.P, when a small settlement was formed by the shore of the lake in the eastern part of the modern city.
During the 5th and 4th century B.C the area was the center of the First Illyrian Kingdom led by king Bardylis and his son Cleitus.
Among them was the capital of the Illyrian Kingdom, Pelion which is believed to be situated in the modern-village of Selce e Poshtme in Mokra region and Enchelana, situated on the top of the hill overlooking Pogradec.
During the Roman period the area remained as an important connection point between the Adriatic coast and the inner Balkan lands as Via Egnatia, that connected the Adriatic port of Dyrrachium (modern-day Durrës) with Byzantium, passed next to the shoreline of Lake Ohrid.
This is proved by the existence of the Paleo-Christian Basilica of Lin, a trichonch church whose floors are made of mosaics.
From the 8th until the 14th century, Pogradec area was captured by various medieval states such as the Bulgarian, Byzantine and Serbian Empires as well as by noble Albanian families such as Gropa and Balsa.
In the middle of 15th century the area became part of Skanderbeg state and after his death in 1468, it was invaded by the Ottomans who kept it until Albania's Independence in 1912.
During their occupation Pogradec was the center of the kaza of Starova and was developed as a small town of craftsmen and fishermen.
During the second half of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, Pogradec area played an important role in the Albanian National Renaissance.
Italian occupation of Pogradec was interrupted due to Greco-Italian War and Greek troops occupied the city between 30 November 1940 and 14 April 1941.
After Italy's capitulation in 1943 the Italians were replaced by the German Nazis who kept the city until 30 August 1944 when it was liberated by the Albanian partizans.
The climate of the Lake Ohrid is classified as a local-continental type because of a microclime that is created in that area influenced by Mediterranean climate.
Pogradec is located about 139 km from Tirana, the capital city of Albania, 40 km from Korça, and 5 km from North Macedonia.
Pogradec is the last railway station: Tirana - Durrës - Elbasan - Librazhd - Pogradec and located along SH3 road that passes through Devoll and continues to Greece.
Translake transport started on 15 June 2014 with a tourist ferry between Pogradec and Ohrid, but the service is sporadic and unreliable.
Pogradec is well known for its famous writers and poets such as Lasgush Poradeci and Mitrush Kuteli, and lately Luan Starova.
Separated from their old hometown and their relatives by the Albania-Yugoslavia border during the Enver Hoxha's era, they would often look at Pogradec through a binocular from the vantage point of Monastery of Saint Naum on the other side of the lake.
Pogradec is also the home of nationally acclaimed painters like Anastas Kostandini(Taso), Gjergji Lako, Gentian Zeka, Vangjo Vasili and Ilir Dhima.
All the towns surrounding lake Ohrid (Pogradec, Ohrid and Struga) gather in a festival where local delicacies, including food and culture are showcased.
It is used to treat a number of bacterial infections including acute bacterial sinusitis, pneumonia, H. pylori (in combination with other medications), urinary tract infections, chronic prostatitis, and some types of gastroenteritis.
The use of other medications in this class appear to be safe while breastfeeding; however, the safety of levofloxacin is unclear.
It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system.
Levofloxacin is used to treat infections including: respiratory tract infections, cellulitis, urinary tract infections, prostatitis, anthrax, endocarditis, meningitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, traveler's diarrhea, tuberculosis, and plague and is available by mouth, intravenously, and in eye drop form.
As of 2007 the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) and the American Thoracic Society recommended levofloxacin and other respiratory fluoroquinolines as first line treatment for community acquired pneumonia when co-morbidities such as heart, lung, or liver disease are present or when in-patient treatment is required.
As of 2010 it was recommended by the IDSA as a first-line treatment option for catheter-associated urinary tract infections in adults.
In combination with metronidazole it is recommended as one of several first-line treatment options for adult patients with community-acquired intra-abdominal infections of mild-to-moderate severity.
Levofloxacin and other fluoroquinolones have also been widely used for the treatment of uncomplicated community-acquired respiratory and urinary tract infections, indications for which major medical societies generally recommend the use of older, narrower spectrum drugs to avoid fluoroquinolone resistance development.
Usage of levofloxacin eye drops, along with an antibiotic injection of cefuroxime or penicillin during cataract surgery, has been found to lower the chance of developing endophthalmitis, compared to eye drops or injections alone.
According to the FDA approved prescribing information, levofloxacin is pregnancy category C. This designation indicates that animal reproduction studies have shown adverse effects on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but the potential benefit to the mother may in some cases outweigh the risk to the fetus.
Exposure to quinolones, including levofloxacin, during the first-trimester is not associated with an increased risk of stillbirths, premature births, birth defects, or low birth weight.
However, the risk appears to be very low, and levofloxacin can be used in breastfeeding mothers with proper monitoring of the infant, combined with delaying breastfeeding for 4–6 hours after taking levofloxacin.
Levofloxacin is not approved in most countries for the treatment of children except in unique and life-threatening infections because it is associated with an elevated risk of musculoskeletal injury in this population, a property it shares with other fluoroquinolones.
In the United States levofloxacin is approved for the treatment of anthrax and plague in children over six months of age.
In one study, 1534 juvenile patients (age 6 months to 16 years) treated with levofloxacin as part of three efficacy trials were followed up to assess all musculoskeletal events occurring up to 12 months post-treatment.
At 12 months follow-up the cumulative incidence of musculoskeletal adverse events was 3.4%, compared to 1.8% among 893 patients treated with other antibiotics.
In the levafloxacin-treated group, approximately two-thirds of these musculoskeletal adverse events occurred in the first 60 days, 86% were mild, 17% were moderate, and all resolved without long-term sequelae.
Package inserts mention that levofloxacin is to be avoided in patients with a known hypersensitivity to levofloxacin or other quinolone drugs.
Like all fluoroquinolines, levofloxacin is contraindicated in patients with epilepsy or other seizure disorders, and in patients who have a history of quinolone-associated tendon rupture.
Levofloxacin may prolong the QT interval in some people, especially the elderly, and levofloxacin should not be used for people with a family history of Long QT syndrome, or who have long QT, chronic low potassium, it should not be prescribed with other drugs that prolong the QT interval.
When levofloxacin is taken with anti-acids containing magnesium hydroxide or aluminum hydroxide, the two combine to form insoluble salts that are difficult to absorb from the intestines.
However, severe, disabling, and potentially irreversible adverse effects sometimes occur, and for this reason use it is recommended that use of fluoroquinolones be limited.
Such injuries, including tendon rupture, has been observed up to 6 months after cessation of treatment; higher doses of fluoroquinolones, being elderly, transplant patients, and those with a current or historical corticosteroid use are at elevated risk.
The U.S. label for levofloxacin also contains a black box warning for the exacerbation of the symptoms of the neurological disease myasthenia gravis.
Similarly, the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency recommendations warn of rare but disabling and potentially irreversible adverse effects, and to recommend limiting use of these drugs.
A wide variety of other uncommon but serious adverse events have been associated with fluoroquinolone use, with varying degrees of evidence supporting causation.
These include anaphylaxis, hepatotoxicity, central nervous system effects including seizures and psychiatric effects, prolongation of the QT interval, blood glucose disturbances, and photosensitivity, among others.
There is some disagreement in the medical literature regarding whether and to what extent levofloxacin and other fluoroquinolones produce serious adverse effects more frequently than other broad spectrum antibacterial drugs.
With regard to more usual adverse effects, in pooled results from 7537 patients exposed to levofloxacin in 29 clinical trials, 4.3% discontinued treatment due to adverse drug reactions.
Overall, 7% of patients experienced nausea, 6% headache, 5% diarrhea, 4% insomnia, along with other adverse reactions experienced at lower rates.
In the event of an acute overdosage, authorities recommend unspecific standard procedures such as emptying the stomach, observing the patient and maintaining appropriate hydration.
DNA gyrase, on the other hand, is responsible for supercoiling the DNA, so that it will fit in the newly formed cells.
Levofloxacin is rapidly and essentially completely absorbed after oral administration, with a plasma concentration profile over time that is essentially identical to that obtained from intravenous administration of the same amount over 60 minutes.
Similarly, lung tissue concentrations range from two-fold to five-fold higher than plasma concentrations in the 24 hours after a single dose.
The mean terminal plasma elimination half-life of levofloxacin ranges from approximately 6 to 8 hours following single or multiple doses of levofloxacin given orally or intravenously.
The substance is used as the hemihydrate, which has the empirical formula CHFNO · ½ HO and a molecular mass of 370.38 g/mol.
A major issue in the synthesis of Levofloxacin is identifying correct entries into the benzoxazine core in order to produce the correct chiral form.
Levofloxacin is a third-generation fluoroquinolone, being one of the isomers of ofloxacin, which was a broader-spectrum conformationally locked analog of norfloxacin; both ofloxacin and levofloxaxin were synthesized and developed by scientists at Daiichi Seiyaku.
The Daiichi scientists knew that ofloxacin was racemic, but tried unsuccessfully to separate the two isomers; in 1985 they succeeded in separately synthesizing the pure levo form and showed that it was less toxic and more potent than the other form.
It was first approved for marketing in Japan in 1993 for oral administration, and Daiichi marketed it there under the brand name Cravit.
Daiichi, working with Johnson & Johnson as it had with ofloxacin, obtained FDA approval in 1996 under the brand name Levaquin to treat bacterial sinusitus, bacterial exacerbations of bronchitis, community-acquired pneumonia, uncomplicated skin infections, complicated urinary tract infections, and acute pyelonephritis.
Levofloxacin had reached blockbuster status by this time; combined worldwide sales of levofloxacin and ofloxacin for J&J alone were US$1.6 billion in 2009.
The term of the levofloxacin United States patent was extended by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office 810 days under the provisions of the Hatch Waxman Amendment so that the patent would expire in 2010 instead of 2008.
The federal patent court ruled in favor of J&J and Daiichi, and generic versions of levofloxacin did not enter the U.S. market until 2009.
The FDA estimated that in 2011 over 23 million outpatient prescriptions for fluoroquinolones, of which levofloxacin made up 28%, were filled in the United States.
As of 2012, Johnson and Johnson was facing around 3400 state and federal lawsuits filed by people who claimed tendon damage from levofloxacin; about 1900 pending in a class action at the United States District Court in Minnesota and about 1500 pending at a district court in New Jersey.
In October 2012, J&J settled 845 cases in the Minnesota action, after Johnson and Johnson prevailed in three of the first four cases to go to trial.
The Bay of Kiel or Kiel Bay (, ; ) is a bay in the southwestern Baltic Sea, off the shores of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany and the islands of Denmark.
It is connected with the Bay of Mecklenburg in the east, the Little Belt in the northwest, and the Great Belt in the North.
Once in, through traffic to the Baltic passes through another strait, the Fehmarn Belt, into the Bay of Mecklenburg, which opens out into the Baltic Sea.
In the other direction, traffic can either pass northward through the Great Belt, keeping Langeland on the port side, or enter the Kiel Fjord and traverse the Kiel Canal directly to the mouth of the Elbe River and the North Sea.
From the latter drains the Schlei inlet, actually a brackish estuary, at the head of which is the city named after it, Schleswig.
Kieler Förde, projecting from the bay to the south, is about 17 km long and 1 km wide at its narrowest point.
The strategic location was not lost on the founders of Holstein, of which Kiel was intended to be a major city.
Before the foundation of Kiel in 1242 and the construction of a walled city there, the region could not have escaped settlement, especially by the Vikings.
Eckernförde Bay is about 16 km long and turns at the mouth, with the south bank on approximately ten km of the Bay of Kiel.
The once forested peninsula between Kiel Fjord and Eckernförde Bay formed the borderland between the Saxons and the Danes in the Middle Ages.
The NCAA Division III Women's Basketball Championship is the annual tournament to determine the national champions of women's NCAA Division III collegiate basketball in the United States.
The current champion is Thomas More, which will be unable to defend the title as it rejoined the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
Featuring host Elizabethtown College, Clark College (Massachusetts), Pomona College (California) and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, the tournament was played in a classic field house over a three-day period.
In the first game of the National Semi-Final Elizabethtown took control right from the tip-off against Clark and easily cruised to a 71-51 victory.
In the second game of the Final Four Pomona took the lead early in the game, but UNC Greensboro battled back to tie the game at 56 with six minutes to play.
Last second heroics by UNC Greensboro sent the game into overtime, but Elizabethtown came up with the final stop in overtime to win 67-66 in overtime.
Television coverage was provided by a fledgling ESPN while exclusive radio coverage was provided by KSPC Radio - Pomona College's tiny KSPC sports broadcasting group with Geoff Willis (Pomona '83) and James Timmerman (Pomona '82) providing the play by play and color.
ESPN was so embryonic that the game was broadcast multiple times during the following two weeks and ESPN hired the KSPC Radio staff to help with background and color research about the players and the teams.
Leonardo, nickname Leo, is a fictional character and one of the four main characters in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics and related media.
He is the most skilled, the most serious, the most spiritual, the most disciplined, and the most in-line with Splinter's teachings and thoughts.
The remaining Turtles and Splinter are forced to continue the fight, but even with the aid of Casey Jones, the odds are against them.
Along with his younger brother Donatello and his youngest brother Michelangelo, Leonardo returns to New York and reunites with his wayward brother in the old sewer lair.
The three go along with Raphael's plan to storm the Foot Headquarters, where once again Raphael goes off on his own to fight the Shredder.
The Turtles are approached by Karai, the leader of the Foot Clan in Japan who has come to New York to unite the Foot.
She presents the Turtles with an offer of a truce between the Foot and the Turtles if they help her kill Shredder's Elite Guards, which are a major obstacle to her reorganizing the Foot.
Despite Raphael's objections, Leonardo persuades his brothers to accept Karai's offer and all four Turtles successfully work with Karai to eliminate the Elite Guard.
When the Utroms make a very public arrival on Earth and reveal alien life to humans, however, the Turtles become free to mingle in everyday society.
Karai approaches Leonardo for help when a mysterious force begins attacking various Foot Clans; only the New York branch is left intact.
In Volume 3 of the Image Comics series, Leonardo was initially portrayed as similar to his Mirage counterpart (at the time, Image was picking up where Volume 2 left off).
In the later issues, he lost a hand when it was eaten by King Komodo, although this did not seem to deter him significantly.
He tried initially to use a prosthetic hand, which was given to him by Donatello, but he much preferred to wear a steel cap which came with a retractable blade.
The Archie Comics series initially began as an adaptation of 1987 animated series, so Leonardo was naturally portrayed like his animated counterpart.
Four of his top students were depicted: Nobuko, possibly his love interest; Miles, a young black man; Carmen, a Latina woman and possibly his love interest; and Bob, an anthropomorphic baboon.
Although the IDW series is a complete comic re-imagination of the franchise, Leonardo is initially portrayed as similar to his Mirage counterpart.
He is later saved by his brothers and their allies, however, after the death of the Shredder at the hands of his father, Splinter, who took over the Foot Clan after the battle, Leo once again became the chunin, but, like last time, it didn't last.
The relationship between Splinter and his sons deteriorated after he decided to take another life, going against the very philosophy he taught them to always follow.
He revealed that this was, in fact, an intentional way of pushing them away from him, as he believes being around him would be too much of a threat to them, as shown during the events of the comic book.
In the 1987 TV series' theme song lyrics, Leonardo is said outright to be the leader of the TMNT, and there is little disputing this; his orders are usually followed, and he is a very serious do-gooder who hardly ever makes wise cracks.
He was attracted to a young kunoichi named Lotus, a swordswoman prodigy from Japan who was hired by Krang to replace Shredder, whom she easily defeated (along with Rocksteady and Bebop).
She turned on Krang and escaped to continue her mercenary lifestyle, telling Leonardo that there was little good in goodness, though she hoped that they would one day be on the same side.
When the cartoon series starts out, he is shown with having a very level head, akin to his leadership qualities in the comic.
However, as the series carried on, he became more of a hero of a group of superheroes and spoke in a high pitched voice, which was very different from the original, deeper pitch in the first season.
After a man says that everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything, Leonardo realizes his responsibility and begins to search for his brothers.
He and the other turtles along with Casey and April are seen through a portal by their 2012 counterparts walking on a road and he made a speaking cameo along with the other turtles at the end of the episode when a space worm from the 2012 dimension started terrorizing the street.
In one episode where they were sparring, Raphael took advantage of Leo's apparent physical weakening, insulting, mocking and taunting his brother to make him more reckless, until finally Leo lost his temper and angrily kicked Raph so hard that he sent Raph flying across the sewer den.
They spent the rest of the episode arguing and challenging each other to tests of skill (some of them quite absurd) until finally using arm wrestling to decide who would live in the sewer and who would leave.
In the Mirage Studios and 4Kids Entertainment 2003 animated TV series, Leonardo is voiced by Michael Sinterniklaas in the English version, Tetsuya Kakihara in the Japanese version, and Samuel Harjanne (seasons 1 and 2) and Markus Blom in the Finnish version.
Though Leonardo's relationships with his younger brothers Donatello and Michelangelo are not as volatile, both have made comments alluding to the high standards the former has set, and his tendency to make them look bad.
Despite this, his brothers view him as a pillar of strength and are at a loss when he is injured or absent.
One of Leonardo's most prominent qualities is his determination to believe in the good and the best in people, even potential enemies; such as Karai.
At times, Leonardo is shown to be very hard on himself, as he feels that a lot is expected of him.
As in the Mirage comics, Leonardo is ambushed and seriously injured by the Foot Clan and he feels he let his family and himself down.
He has the same feelings after the final battle with the Shredder-his anger and self-doubt was caused by Karai, who he believed was an honorable ally, but she was unable to go against her master's orders, eventually causing her to stab Leonardo (albeit unintentionally).
Leonardo also feels extremely inadequate, as he believes that again, he let himself and his family down, this time by finding no other way to destroy the Shredder than to blow up the spaceship that both the Turtles and the Shredder were on; the Turtles and Splinter would have perished if they had not been rescued by Utroms.
From their final battle with the Shredder, Leonardo was the only Turtle to sustain truly lasting damage; part of his shell on his upper left shoulder had its edge shorn.
Nevertheless, he is the most skilled of the Turtles, being the only one trained by two ninja masters, capable of facing and defeating Karai, the new Shredder, in a one-on-one fight, as well as defeating all three of his brothers at once in a sparring match.
Through much of the fourth season, while the other turtles are fully healed and recovered from their battle with the Shredder, Leonardo still could not get over his failure.
He becomes bitter and increasingly stern with himself and adopts a greatly aggressive personality, which has been likened to Raph's previous impulsive and hotheaded ways on many occasions.
Leonardo also shows considerably less reluctance in using violence to interrogate people, and devotes himself to even greater lengths of training in order to protect his family.
Not wanting his family to worry about him, Leonardo chose to never tell them about his true feelings about their final battle against the Shredder, although he open up to April and Usagi about his problems.
It comes to a head when Leonardo loses his temper and nearly causes Splinter a serious injury during a training session.
Leonardo was sent by Splinter to find Master Yoshi's own sensei, The Ancient One, since there is nothing more he could do for his troubled son.
In the end, Leonardo admits that he was angry over failing his family while fighting the Shredder and that his only option was to self-destruct the ship to stop him.
Leonardo comes to terms with his anger, accepting he did every thing in his power, and begins training under the short man, who turns out to be the Ancient One.
Leonardo only leaves when he learns that his family is in danger, a result of Karai's vengeance, which destroys the lair and presumably eliminates them.
In the fifth season, of the eight acolytes under the Tribunal's training, Leonardo is the only one who doesn't receive a weapon from the Spirit Forge.
In the Fast Forward season, and the Back to the Sewers season, the damage that occurred to Leonardo's shell as stated above has somehow been repaired.
From then on, Leonardo is far more experienced and skillful at even more complex ninjitsu moves than even Splinter, Raph, Mikey, and Donnie all at once.
Leonardo is the most skilled at ninjutsu and other forms of hand-to-hand combat he all learned from his adopted father and master, Splinter.
In this latest version, Leonardo seems to be less experienced and still perfecting his fighting skills and leadership abilities to make more solid decisions and gain more trust from his three younger brothers.
Leonardo immediately developed romantic feelings for Karai since their first encounter, even though she is his adoptive sister by Splinter; she was taken in by the Shredder after her mother's death and was tasked with destroying her birth family (including Leo) before changing sides upon discovering her true heritage as his adopted sister.
His weapons here are purely dual katanas, which he uses in the Niten Ryu style of kenjutsu, making him an excellent swordsman.
Despite the fact the other three turtles have added traits in this series, Leonardo is almost completely normal but now has blue eyes.
Upon the sudden demise of his adopted father and master, he reluctantly steps up as sensei in addition to being leader, which puts even more pressure on him.
He is visited, on occasion, by the spirit of Splinter who encourages him to lead his family and friends to stopping new evils.
He managed to develop and utilize it to counteract the lethal venom of Karai, and attempted to use it on her to release her from the Shredder's control but failed.
Unlike past versions, he is not the leader of the turtles, and boasts a less serious, more laidback, charming, sardonic, and joke-cracking personality.
It was he who first communicated telepathically with a kidnapped Splinter and seems the most anxious about Raphael's health after his ambush by the Foot Clan.
He fought alongside his brothers against The Shredder in the climatic battle and was the only one of the four to actually injure The Shredder, but, like his brothers, could not defeat him.
Due to the focus on Raphael in the film's plot, Leonardo's personality was rarely explored and his leader position in the team took a back seat.
He, like his brothers, was astonished at the return of the Foot but he found that their current homelessness due to their last battle was a more pressing issue and soon he convinced his brothers that they needed to move.
April finds him in Central America and while he was hesitant to return to New York City, he does at the right time to take on a new force of evil.
His brotherly relationship with Raphael is strained due to Raphael feeling abandoned by Leo as well as feeling less appreciated by Splinter.
In the first movie prequel comic, Leo becomes angry with Raph for trying to leave them in order to save a man from being mugged because there are 4 heavily armed Triceratons in the sewers who could cause devastation to the city.
Raph states in the comic that he was tired of waiting for disaster to fall on his family and tired of fighting aliens while people in their own neighborhood are being mugged and murdered.
Leo, on the other hand, believes that the world of men is the responsibility of the police, while Utroms and Triceratons are their domain… that they should fight only when there is no one else to solve the problem.
This also engages Leo in a contradiction when he stays in Central America, using violence to fight local lawlessness and effectively deserting his brothers because he believes as Raph believes, that others need him more.
Such parallels suggest that the two brothers are experiencing the same dedication to justice but in a different mentality, albeit in very different locales and using different tactics.
In fact, when Leo tracks down and scolds the Nightwatcher (not knowing that he is Raphael), he remarks that he is well aware of the Nightwatcher's good intentions but cannot simply approve of the latter's methods.
Leo is captured by the Stone Generals and the Foot Clan but is rescued by his family later before the final battle where Leo and Raph finally resolve their differences, Raph accepting Leo as their leader while Leo confesses to needing Raph.
In this movie, he is dedicated to perfecting his ninjutsu skills and will stop at nothing to defend his brothers and the entire city.
He tends to have a similar personality to his '87 counterpart where he is determined to help people and keep his brothers in line.
He and Raphael unlike in their other adaptions don't fight over leadership although they have a brief argument over the Hamatshi and Raphael talking about leaving which Leo debunks Raph's claim.
In the video games, Leonardo is portrayed as well-balanced, having strong but not extreme abilities in all areas and no glaring weaknesses.
He is the default turtle outside the gear loadout, while the rest of his brothers, Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello can only be picked through the said loadout selection, similar to premier skin characters.
In their single player ending, Krang had sent them to the world where the war between the Insurgency and Regime was taking place.
After the victory over Brainiac, Harley Quinn serves some pizza with 5-U-93-R. With this, they became powerful enough to return home and defeat Krang and Shredder.
Raphael, nickname Raph, is a fictional character and one of the four main characters of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics and all related media.
He is usually depicted wearing a red eye mask; in this regard he is the only turtle to retain the color in all media, whereas the others each received a different color.
The origin of Raphael's anger is not always fully explored, but in some incarnations appears to stem partly from the realization that they are the only creatures of their kind and ultimately alone.
Like all of the brothers, he is named after a Renaissance artist; in this case, he is named after the 16th-century Italian painter Raphael.
In 2011 Raphael placed 23rd on IGN's Top 100 Comic Book Heroes, a list that did not feature any of his brothers.
In the earliest black-and-white Mirage Comics, Raphael was the most violent turtle and had a tendency for going berserk either in battle or when his temper flared up.
Raphael mellowed somewhat as the series went on, possibly a key moment for his character development was when he allowed Leonardo to go in alone to defeat The Shredder after nearly being killed by the Foot Elite.
Since then, he has been less likely to challenge Leonardo's leadership, and on the whole is more friendly towards his family and allies.
Raphael often shows a caring, more laid-back, side of himself when around his youngest brother, frequently indulging the youngest turtle emotionally when at home and ferociously protecting him from harm when in battle.
In his self-titled one-shot miniseries, Raphael meets human vigilante Casey Jones, his foil, who is more violent and unstable than he was.
After having been bitten by a vampire-like creature, he experienced a further mutation, and became a large, dinosaur-like version of himself.
He went into a state of berserk animal rage because of it, but with some guidance by an inner manifestation of Master Splinter, he regained his original mentality and later assisted Leonardo and Casey Jones in tracking down the vampires who attacked him.
This is also somewhat similar to an earlier storyline during Volume 1, where Raphael was attacked by a leech-like creature who, when sucking his blood, also drained him of the mutagen in his body and reverted him to a small turtle.
Finally, after tracking down the creature, Raphael manages to bite it and pierce its skin, thereby drinking its blood and mutating back.
In the Image series that treated the first two volumes of the Mirage Comics as canonical, Raphael was blasted in the face and disfigured.
After that, he wore one of Casey Jones' hockey masks for much of the time, and eventually just an eye patch.
Later, Raphael wore Shredder's armor in an attempt to psychologically dominate a number of the New York Mob, with whom the Foot Clan was engaged in a losing gang war.
He donned a slightly variant version of the armor, and pretended to be the Shredder to get the advantage on his pursuers.
He succeeded in defeating them and was then accepted into, and given control of, the New York faction of the Foot Clan for a brief time.
In the independent published series of the Image Comics #24, Raphael had an eyepatch and red bandana for the whole issue and was even angrier than ever.
He killed Cheng with whom he had been friends in issue #25, and as soon as Pimiko was killed by the gauntlet of Lady Shredder, Raph removed his bandana and eyepatch to reveal his left eye was no longer disfigured but was back to normal.
He later said to Leonardo he had a thing for Pimiko, and like Donatello with Baxter's help on ridding him of cyborg parts, Raphael kept his crush on Pimiko a secret.
After the second story arc, Raphael changed costumes and began wearing an all dark ninja outfit which he won during an Alien Wrestling Match.
He would be the first member of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to have a girlfriend, meeting Ninjara in issue #28 and breaking up near the end of the magazine's 75 issue run.
In the future, Raphael would lose an eye during a conflict with the Shredder, Verminator X, and Armaggon (in most of the future timeline incarnations of Raphael, his left eye is missing).
He would time travel after his brother Donatello invents the technology and eventually retire on the island Turtleco (which used to be Manhattan) and become a bar owner.
In the IDW Comics, Raphael, like his brothers, is one of the reincarnated sons of Hamato Yoshi, who in medieval Japan were murdered by Oroku Saki.
He began his new life in the present as a young turtle in the laboratory of StockGen Research, Inc., Baxter Stockman's genetics laboratory and served as a guinea pig for an experiment to be grown to be an naturally armored super soldier.
The intervention also led his reincarnated father, now a lab rat, and the Turtles to be doused with a chemical cocktail that triggered their mutation.
In the fifteen months after his mutation he eked out a miserable existence as a vagrant on the streets of New York City without a memory of his life before his transformation, or even of a name.
This changed on the night when he was befriended by Casey Jones after saving Jones from a beating by his father.
He trained extensively with them for the next month, making incredible progress and being rewarded with a pair of sais at the end of it.
Despite joining his brothers in their training and patrols, Raphael maintained his friendship with Casey by sometimes going out and assaulting criminals.
Raphael fought alongside his brothers to get their father back, but came to the attention of the Shredder and the Foot Clan in the process.
When Casey was badly beaten by his father, Raphael lost his temper and set out to murder the man, but was stopped by Splinter, who taught him that he fights with too much anger.
However, his anger was turned inward during the City Fall storyline, in which the rescuing of a stabbed Casey from Shredder led to Leonardo being captured and brainwashed into Shredder's second-in-command.
Devastated, Raphael blamed the entire event on himself, and set out to savagely beat information on the Foot Clan from informants until Michelangelo and Donatello stopped him.
When Splinter and the Turtles tried to extract the brainwashed Leonardo from Shredder's clutches, Raphael managed to penetrate some of the brainwashing and remind Leo of who they were.
From then on, Raphael watched and guarded his brother from a distance; including keeping Alopex away from him but did not engage him.
He became more friendly with the mutant fox Alopex, though any trust he had for her was still shaky and he incorrectly believed that she had betrayed them when the Foot attacked.
Due to Hob's early efforts to kill him, Raphael remained extremely wary of Old Hob and didn't believe that their family should be working with him.
During the Turtles in Time event, Raphael was captured by Utroms in prehistoric times, and adopted a small dinosaur he named Pepperoni.
When Leonardo attempted to change the past by killing Oroku Saki in medieval Japan, it was Raphael who talked him out of it.
However, he was devastated upon returning back to New York, where a dying Donatello was barely saved by the Fugitoid by being transferred into the body of the robot Metalhead.
When Splinter entered his family into the Gauntlet, an ancient ritual that would end the bloody conflict between them and the Foot, Raphael was pitted against the powerful but dimwitted Rocksteady, who had nearly beaten Donatello to death.
When his father became leader of the Foot Clan, Raphael reluctantly joined as well, though he remained somewhat distant from it compared to Leonardo.
He also remained in contact with their newly-estranged brother Michelangelo, assuring him that he knew how hard it was to be homeless, and that Michelangelo would always have a home with them.
Raphael and Leonardo also sought out two of Krang's remaining warriors, Tragg and Granitor, only to be knocked out by Leatherhead.
Upon returning home, Raphael and his brothers were horrified to see Kitsune about to kill Splinter, and a brainwashed Alopex assisting her.
Raphael attempted to reconcile Michelangelo with his family in the Chasing Phantoms arc, in which he argued that Michelangelo should be with them, even if their new place was as part of the Foot Clan.
And upon Splinter's execution of Darius Dun, Raphael changed his mind and decided that Michelangelo had been right all along, leaving the Foot Clan along with Donatello and Leonardo, and moving back into their old lair.
During the days that followed, Raphael participated in a raucous Christmas party, assisted Angel Bridge in bringing a traumatized Alopex back to New York, and infiltrated the Pantheon Family Reunion, with nearly-deadly results.
He returned to Dimension X with his brothers in The Trial of Krang story arc, in which they were required to bring back a collection of key witnesses to testify against Krang.
Afterwards, he and his brothers were attacked by the Collectors, and Raphael was forced to go on an inter-dimensional journey with Ray Stantz, resulting in his body temporarily being stolen by Viking ghosts.
His strained relationship with Splinter became even more so when the Turtles returned to Earth, and found the Foot Clan in conflict with the Triceratons.
When Burnow Island was attacked by Bishop, Raphael was reluctant to assist the Utroms and Triceratons, but accompanied his brothers anyway.
They intended to kill and dissect him, but Raphael broke free and escaped, reminded of Buck and his own losses and pain from the past.
Raphael is a sardonic wise-guy, and supplies comic relief alongside Michelangelo, whose humor is usually attributed to his ignorance and spaciness, whereas Raphael is more sardonic and sarcastic.
In the 1987 series' original English-language version, Raphael's voice actor is Rob Paulsen from season one to season nine with Thom Pinto as the 1989 alternate, Hal Rayle as the 1993 alternate, and Michael Gough in the final season.
He and the other turtles along with Casey and April are seen through a portal by their 2012 counterparts walking on a road and he made a speaking cameo along with the other turtles at the end of the episode when a space worm from the 2012 dimension started terrorizing the street.
This would be Rob Paulsen's second role in the 2012 series, the other being Donatello while he returned to his role as Raphael for the cameo.
This version of Raphael has a personality which is more akin to his original incarnation - he is angrier and more sardonic, but not quite as violent as his darker personality from the comics, unless furious - as proven in one incident where he almost smashed Michelangelo's head in with a pipe after Mikey beat him in a sparring match.
His best friend is generally regarded as Casey Jones - and is the best man at Casey and April O'Neil's wedding in the final episode of this series.
Raphael's character design was updated, giving him green eyes as well as a small, lightning-shaped chip out of his plastron across his left shoulder.
On Season 5 Raphael doesn’t back talk to Leonardo as much as he did in the earlier season probably because Leonardo is the sensei and has more control when it comes to Raphael.
Raphael’s relationship with his two brothers Michelangelo and Donatello is not as bad as his relationship with Leonardo but it can be tense at times.
Sometimes he would hit them or challenge them especially in training and other times they will team up to mock Leonardo.
When Raphael behaves in an upsetting manner and when his brothers confronts him, he will get in denial at first but then he will reluctantly or willingly apologize.
He speaks with a distinctive tough-sounding New York accent (that was imitated in the later versions of TMNT), and is the turtle whose character is explored most completely.
This film focuses more so on his feeling of isolation from his brothers and sense of regret and anger when Splinter is eventually captured from the Shredder.
Here, it is established that he shares a closer relationship with news reporter April O'Neil having saved her from the Foot Clan on several occasions.
In the films, he is still angry and occasionally goes off by himself in the second movie, but has a soft spot for the young people the team meets.
His time as the Nightwatcher is one of the few during which Raphael uses a different ninjutsu weapon, the manriki: weighted chains that can be concealed in the hands and used from considerable distances.
Unlike his sai, the manriki are typically not lethal weapons, though they could crush a skull if used with enough force.
In this movie, the animosity between Raphael and Leonardo is the most straight-forward due to Raphael's anger at his brother leaving.
This leads to a physical confrontation between Raphael and Leonardo and resulting in Raphael almost mortally wounding Leonardo before retreating - suddenly realising what he was about to do, and running in fear from his anger.
After Leonardo is kidnapped, Raphael then acknowledges his mistake to Master Splinter and confesses what happened and why he understood the reason Leonardo was chosen as the leader.
Master Splinter then explains to Raphael that his tendency to put the world's problems on his own shoulders as a protector of the weak is a great quality and that while he may not be his favorite student, it does not mean he is his least favorite son.
Master Splinter then tells Raphael that his strength, his passion, and his loyalty to the people he cares about are also merits of a great leader, if it can be tempered with compassion.
After Raphael, the Turtles, as well as Casey and April rescue Leonardo, Raphael is shown to be eager to fight alongside his brother instead of against him.
This is due to the Nightwatcher using tactics like Raph's and due to the reason that Donnie believes that the team still exists where as Raph does not.
Donnie also doesn't support Mikey's admiration of The Nightwatcher and even though Donnie doesn't know that Raph is The Nightwatcher, believes that Raph should get a normal job to support the family.
Donnie's dislike of The Nightwatcher alone seems to mildly anger Raph and then there's the fact that Splinter put Donnie in charge of the turtles while Leo was away.
This factor annoys Raph a little more and leads to Raphael almost punching Donnie in the face; smirking when his brother flinches.
He is the first turtle that April O' Neil sees after stopping the Foot Clan, although she does not get a good look at him and thinks he's a man.
They team up with Vern Fenwick to help him save them from Sacks Industries, where he fights Shredder to buy April and Vern time to do so.
After rescuing Leonardo, Donatello, and Michelangelo and defeating the Shredder, Raphael and his brothers use the mutagen to save Splinter's life.
He along with Donatello and Leonardo don't try to get April's attention unlike Michelangelo who does voice his feelings to April.
In this incarnation, Raphael isn't as hot headed and doesn't clash with Leonardo over leadership however they have a brief argument over the Hatamishi which Raphael refuses to go to and claims he'll leave which Leo debunks.
He does still get annoyed at Donatello when he does talk of his calculations in a way the others don't understand.
Also, it should be noted he is the only turtle in the film to stay true to his other adaptations by not wearing any footwear.
He becomes enraged when he learns Leonardo has commanded Donnie not to reveal to him or Mikey about the Purple Ooze being able to turn them into humans, stating that Leo broke the third code of the ninja (honor) by lying to his brothers.
He disobeys direct orders from Leo and has no problem lying to April and Casey in order to get them to go along on a mission with him.
He does still show caring for his brothers as him and Mikey are shown to be very close, with the two of them pulling pranks on Casey Jones and Raph becoming enraged when Krang nearly kills Mikey.
Raphael in the film is also shown to have a fear of great heights, possibly due to the events of the first film; while the other turtles leap out of an airplane with little thought Raphael puts on a parachute and even then must psych himself up to perform the jump.
In the first few video games, based on the 1987 cartoon, Raphael was an unpopular character because of the short range of his weapon.
While Leonardo is the default turtle outside the gear loadout, he, Michelangelo and Donatello can only be picked through the said loadout selection similar to the premier skin characters.
Perfidious Albion is a pejorative phrase used within the context of international relations diplomacy to refer to alleged acts of diplomatic sleights, duplicity, treachery and hence infidelity (with respect to perceived promises made to or alliances formed with other nation states) by monarchs or governments of the UK (or England prior to 1707) in their pursuit of self-interest.
In the early days of the French Revolution, when the revolution aimed at establishing a liberal constitutional monarchy along British lines, many in Great Britain had looked upon the Revolution with mild favour.
However, following the turn of the revolution to republicanism with overthrow and execution of Louis XVI, Britain had allied itself with the other monarchies of Europe against the Revolution in France.
It was utilised by French journalists whenever there were tensions between France and Britain, for example during the competition for colonies in Africa, culminating in the Fashoda incident.
His signature weapons are dual nunchaku, though he has also been portrayed using other weapons, such as a grappling hook, manriki-gusari, tonfa, and a three-section staff (in some action figures).
More fun-loving than his brothers and the youngest of the group, Michelangelo was given a much bigger role in the 1987 cartoon series, directed at a younger audience, than in the more serious original comic books which were aimed at an older audience.
Like all of the brothers, he is named after a Renaissance artist; in this case, he is named after Michelangelo Buonarroti.
The spelling of the character's name varies from source to source, and he has been alternately shown as both Michelangelo and Michaelangelo.
In these original comic books, Michelangelo was initially depicted as fun-loving, carefree, and, while not as aggressive as Raphael, always ready to fight.
It was Michelangelo's one-shot in this series that fleshed out most of the traits that have become synonymous with the character, such as his playfulness, empathy, and easygoing nature.
In the one-shot story, Michelangelo adopts a stray cat (which he names Klunk) and also stops thieves from stealing toys meant for orphaned children.
After their defeat at the hands of the Foot Clan the Turtles, Splinter, April O'Neil, and Casey Jones retreat to a farm house in Northampton, Massachusetts which used to belong to Casey's grandmother.
A scene shows him lashing out at his surroundings and repeatedly punching the wall of the barn until it breaks, then collapsing on it despondently, anger spent.
The end of the story implies that Michelangelo's sorrow and frustration have been resolved, as subsequent issues restore Michelangelo's more relaxed, optimistic personality.
Michelangelo, the social creature that he is, moves in with April and Casey so that he can be close to Shadow.
These stories also laid the foundations which demonstrated his closeness with his older brother Donatello, their laid-back natures separating them from the more contentious Leonardo and Raphael.
Michelangelo convinces Seri to sneak away from her bodyguards so that he can take her on a tour of the northwest coast of the USA.
With the help of a Triceraton prisoner named Azokk, he manages to escape, and is rescued by a group of Triceratons who came to rescue Azokk.
The ordeal results in Mikey's personality taking a very dark turn, having been hardened by the cruelty of the extrajudicial prison and Azokk's death.
Upon the Triceratons learning of Azokk's death, they declare war on the Styracodons and carry out a genocidal assault against them.
Michelangelo, embittered by Seri's apparent betrayal, joins forces with the Triceratons and gladly aids them in acts of genocide against the Styracodons.
Michelangelo was not given an especially large role in Volumes 1 and 2, did little to advance the plot, and was often not portrayed as an especially skilled fighter.
In the comics published by Image Comics, Michelangelo's interest in writing is expanded upon and he is established as a writer of fiction and poetry.
But the relationship wouldn't last, (as the story may have begun after Rapture's death), she started staying with Officer Dragon and had developed an attraction to him; though Dragon didn't know it himself.
Michelangelo is the only Turtle who did not end up disfigured in some way in this series; Leonardo lost his left hand and had it replaced by a steel cap with a retractable blade, Raphael was facially disfigured after being shot in the face, and Donatello was transformed into a cyborg after being shot and thrown out of a helicopter.
In the Archie Comics series, Michelangelo was initially presented very similarly to his 1987 cartoon portrayal-understandable, considering that the comic started as an adaption of the popular animated series.
In a storyline set in the future, Michelangelo is shown to have become an artist whose main job is running an orphanage.
He is more mature in this incarnation than others, but is still sociable, as one example is that he bonded with the Mighty Mutanimals and pizza boy Woody Dirkins.
Unfortunately Michelangelo's friendship with Woody weakened as shown in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Issue 15 when Slash frightened Woody and he left a note for Michelangelo saying that he couldn't handle the troubles that follow them.
Michelangelo is good friends with all Mutanimals but can be unsure about Old Hob, knowing their past events with Hob being their enemy.
Also he worries about them showing his concern in issue 68 when Hob tells them that Slash had been mind controlled and took out all the Mutanimals and helped capture them for the Earth Protection Force.
Michelangelo is also the most sensitive turtle as in issue 50 he couldn't handle Splinter accepting leadership of the Foot Clan.
In this incarnation he is not romantically interested in anyone except Neutrino: Princess Trib instead of Kala like in the 1987 TV series.
Although the after effects of the war left Michelangelo in a vulnerable position seeing as he was strict with Raphael when they were mourning Donnie's injuries.
Furthermore he was not afraid to confront Splinter when he had taken the orphans with him to prevent them from training as Foot ninja.
Michelangelo began the series with his trademark nunchaku as his weapons, but controversy surrounding the weapons in the United Kingdom led to scenes of their use being edited out of the local broadcast of the series.
He and the other turtles along with Casey and April are seen through a portal by their 2012 counterparts walking on a road and he made a speaking cameo along with the other turtles at the end of the episode when a space worm from the 2012 dimension started terrorizing the street.
Still the comic relief, he often makes statements that spoof pop culture, although he uses less surfer slang than in the 1987 cartoon.
His trademark nunchaku are once again his primary weapon, but he has used other weapons such as grappling hooks and those of his brothers.
Unlike other incarnations, he was often more reluctant to fight and he often likes to tease and annoy his older brothers, especially Raphael, for whom Michelangelo is the foil.
In fact, a running gag is that whenever Michelangelo says or does something excessively outrageous and stupid, usually involving a catch-phrase from the 1987 show, one of his brothers (usually Raphael) will slap him on the head.
Other characters such as Master Splinter and the Ancient One have picked up on this habit but usually whenever he disobeys.
Raphael and Michelangelo mostly have a love-hate relationship in which Michelangelo frequently antagonizes Raphael (it especially hurts Raphael's pride that Michelangelo has bested him more than once, both times because Raphael's anger got in the way), but Raphael shows that he cares about him whenever he's in danger.
He also seems to be very close with Donatello, where the two are often paired together when Leonardo and Raphael are either arguing or training.
Donatello has also invented a hovercraft- a flying skateboard, at one point of time in Season 2 as means of keeping him quiet while Donatello himself worked.
When Mikey was a kid, he and his brothers went with Master Splinter to Japan to bury Master Yoshi's ashes next to his beloved.
While there they helped Master Splinter and the Ancient One win a fight against a ghost that was sent by the Foot Mystics to revive the Demon Shredder and that is when they gain their ninja masks.
Although, both Master Splinter and The Ancient One, say because of Michelangelo's lack of focus and interest in training, he will probably never meet his full potential.
Michelangelo also claims many times in this series that he wishes not to be so serious and focused like his eldest brother, Leonardo.
It is shown in activities such as training runs, fights, and training that Michelangelo clearly is the fastest of the four, in which is brothers are constantly having to catch up with him.
It also plays a role in the 1st season when Michelangelo and Raphael are fighting, that Michelangelo keeps taunting Raphael, but because of his speed, Raphael cannot tackle him.
This is true partly because Master Splinter always sends him off to do backflips or extra training as punishment for goofing off or losing focus.
Both of these abilities allow Michelangelo to taunt his opponents and beat them quickly without getting hurt by his opponent in the process.
He has shown innocent empathy for others as shown in particular by his adoption of Klunk the stray kitten, to whom he is very close and also by his relationship with Leatherhead.
It is his initial awareness of Leatherhead's humanity which ends up forging the bond between the crocodile and the other Turtles.
Leatherhead also appears to care greatly for Michelangelo and is distraught when he believes he has fatally injured him, but delighted to discover that his fears are unfounded when he finds out that the turtle is alive and well.
Although not shown as particularly focused on ninjutsu, preferring to spend his time reading comics or watching movies, he is quite an effective fighter and in the Season 2 finale, he became the Battle Nexus Champion, considered the best fighter in the multiverse.
However, he eventually gets tired of their laid-back attitudes and yells at them when they don't take the 2003 incarnation of Shredder seriously, proving even this version of Mikey has his limits to fooling around.
His character design was updated as well, making him slightly shorter than his brothers and giving him dark freckles as well as shorter tails on his mask.
His natural affinity for the martial arts is present with his ability to learn moves after seeing it only a few times.
Also, Mikey has a rare ability to see something off in people and mutants, shown when a Kraang robot of April’s mother, dub Mom thing, and with two of the Might Mutant Animals, Slash and Dr.Rockwell, after they escape capture from the Shredder.
Mikey seems to respect Leonardo and although there are few scenes with them interacting together in the first two seasons, it's clear that Leonardo cares about his youngest brother.
After Karai is captured by Shredder, Leo volunteers to go solo to find a way to help her, Mikey tags alongside him and assures he is there for him.
After Mikey escapes from inside the monster, Leo is overjoyed to see him alive and is proud of the work they have done.
Although Raph repeatedly gives Mikey a beat down for his antics (usually in the form of slapping him to make him shut up) he occasionally shows a more sensitive side when Mikey is feeling down.
This probably stems from the fact that although they are very different they both share a curiosity about things outside ninjutsu.
Although Mikey isn't the fastest of mind and has a tendency to make mistakes, it's very clear that all of his brothers care very deeply for him.
They all show great distress when he gets hurt or is in trouble, and anger at the one who threatens him, i.e.
More often than not, Raphael is the one to shout Mikey's name first and attack whoever has harmed his little brother, and was distraught when Mikey was injured during his (Raphael's) brief period as leader of the team.
than animals, he adopted a cat April found on the street after the cat ate some mutagen Mikey had spilled ice cream in, resulting in the arable and delicious Ice Cream Kitty; most likely this incarnation's version of Klunk.
Bearing this in mind, however, Michelangelo does not seem to have any special relationships with animals like he has done in other incarnations, though he still cares for animals deeply, as exhibited by his caring for April's chickens whilst the Turtles are at April's old farmhouse at the start of season 3.
In season 4, when traveling with his brothers, April, Casey, and a robot called the Fugitoid, Mikey's mind in invaded by microscopic aliens, but his brothers soon chase the robots in a strange world in Mikey's subconscious and soon defeat them, putting Mikey's mind back to normal.
Owing to his popularity with children, he is given many lines and comes up with several (slightly outrageous) plans to advance plots.
Unlike his other incarnations, the 2007 Mikey seems to draw the most emotional support from Donatello instead of his oldest brothers, Leonardo and Raphael.
Upon Leonardo's return from Central America, Mikey gives his oldest brother an enthusiastic hug, falling over the couch and tripping over furniture in his excitement.
Mikey's lively and innocent demeanor returns in full force when he is in the protective presence of his three brothers again, his good-natured jokes and brief commentaries lightening even in hard situations.
Clearly, despite the hardship that his family has recently experienced, Michelangelo has retained much of his usual goofy, laid-back personality and still remains the main form of funny.
He is not afraid to express his true feelings and also has a crush on April, who does not return the feelings to him.
In the video games based on the 1987 animated series, Michelangelo is virtually identical to Leonardo on every level except attack range.
However, to reflect his flashy personality, he was changed became the most agile Turtle in the video games based on the 2003 animated series while Raphael was the weakest.
While Leonardo is the default turtle outside the gear loadout, he, Raphael and Donatello can only be picked through the said loadout selection similar to the premier skin characters.
The Bay of Puck or Puck Bay (, ), is a shallow western branch of the Bay of Gdańsk in the southern Baltic Sea, off the shores of Gdańsk Pomerania, Poland.
Over the last few hundred years, the number of identified astronomical objects has risen from hundreds to over a billion, and more are discovered every year.
Astronomers need to be able to assign systematic designations to unambiguously identify all of these objects, and at the same time give names to the most interesting objects and, where relevant, features of those objects.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) is the officially recognized authority in astronomy for assigning designations to celestial bodies such as stars, planets, and minor planets, including any surface features on them.
In response to the need for unambiguous names for astronomical objects, it has created a number of systematic naming systems for objects of various sorts.
There are no more than a few thousand stars that appear sufficiently bright in Earth's sky to be visible to the naked eye.
The upper boundary to what is physiologically possible to be seen with the unaided eye is an apparent magnitude of 6, or about ten thousand stars.
With the advent of the increased light-gathering abilities of the telescope, many more stars became visible, far too many to all be given names.
The earliest naming system which is still popular is the Bayer designation using the name of constellations to identify the stars within them.
There have been many historical star catalogues, and new star catalogues are set up on a regular basis as new sky surveys are performed.
Different star catalogues then have different naming conventions for what goes after the initialism, but modern catalogs tend to follow a set of generic rules for the data formats used.
The WGSN's first bulletin of July 2016 included a table of the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN (on 30 June and 20 July 2016) together with names of stars adopted by the IAU Executive Committee Working Group on Public Naming of Planets and Planetary Satellites during the 2015 NameExoWorlds campaign and recognized by the WGSN.
The next additions were done on 1 February, 30 June, 5 September and 19 November 2017, and on 6 June 2018.
There are about two dozen stars such as Barnard's Star and Kapteyn's Star that have historic names and which were named in honor after astronomers.
As a result of the NameExoWorlds campaign in December 2015 the IAU approved the names Cervantes (honoring the writer Miguel de Cervantes) and Copernicus (honoring the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus) for the stars Mu Arae and 55 Cancri A, respectively.
With the advent of the increased light-gathering abilities of the telescope, many more stars became visible, far too many to all be given names.
Older catalogues either assigned an arbitrary number to each object, or used a simple systematic naming scheme based on the constellation the star lies in.
In this list, a star is identified by a lower-case letter of the Greek alphabet, followed by the Latin name of its parent constellation.
As the resolving power of telescopes increased, numerous objects that were thought to be a single object were found to be optical star systems that were too closely spaced in the sky to be discriminated by the human eye.
They are commonly used when no Bayer designation exists, or when the Bayer designation uses numeric superscripts such as in Rho¹ Cancri.
Most modern catalogues are generated by computers, using high-resolution, high-sensitivity telescopes, and as a result describe very large numbers of objects.
Objects in these catalogs are typically located with very high resolution, and assign designations to these objects based on their position in the sky.
Other black holes, such as Cygnus X-1 – a highly likely stellar black hole, are cataloged by their constellation and the order in which they were discovered.
A large number of black holes are designated by their position in the sky and prefixed with the instrument or survey that discovered them.
In recent years, several supernova discovery projects have retained their more distant supernova discoveries for in-house follow-up, and not reported them to CBAT.
Starting in 2015, CBAT has scaled back its efforts to publish assigned designations of typed supernovae: By September 2014, CBAT had published names and details of 100 supernovae discovered in that year.
Since 1885, the letter-suffixes are explicitly assigned, regardless whether only one supernova is detected during the entire year (although this has not occurred since 1947).
Driven by advances in technology and increases in observation time, there are hundreds of supernovae being reported every year to the IAU, with more than 500 reported In the record year of 2007.
At first, only the shapes of the patterns were defined, and the names and numbers of constellations varied from one star map to another.
In 1930, the boundaries of these constellations were fixed by Eugène Joseph Delporte and adopted by the IAU, so that now every point on the celestial sphere belongs to a particular constellation.
There are a few exceptions such as the Andromeda Galaxy, the Whirlpool Galaxy, and others, but most simply have a catalog number.
In the 19th century, the exact nature of galaxies was not yet understood, and the early catalogs simply grouped together open clusters, globular clusters, nebulas, and galaxies: the Messier catalog has 110 in total.
The New General Catalogue (NGC, J. L. E. Dreyer 1888) was much larger and contained nearly 8,000 objects, still mixing galaxies with nebulas and star clusters.
The Latin convention derives from the use of that language as an international scientific language by the first modern astronomers like Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton and others and was used for a long time.
On the other hand, Pluto was considered to be a planet at the time of its discovery in 1930, as it was found beyond Neptune.
Under the criteria of classifying these Kuiper belt objects (KBOs), it became dubious whether Pluto would have been considered a planet had it been discovered in the 1990s.
Its mass is now known to be much smaller than once thought and, with the discovery of Eris, it is simply one of the two largest known trans-Neptunian objects.
In 2006, Pluto was therefore reclassified into a different class of astronomical bodies known as dwarf planets, along with Eris and others.
The process of naming them is organised by the IAU Executive Committee Working Group Public Naming of Planets and Planetary Satellites.
The scientific nomenclature for the designations usually consists of a proper noun or abbreviation that often corresponds to the star's name, followed by a lowercase letter (starting with 'b'), like 51 Pegasi b.
For example, Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, is actually a double star, consisting of the naked-eye Sirius A and its dim white-dwarf companion Sirius B.
The first exoplanet tentatively identified around the second brightest star in the triple star system Alpha Centauri is accordingly called Alpha Centauri Bb.
The letter following the category and year identifies the planet (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune; although no occurrence of the other planets is expected, Mars and Mercury are disambiguated through the use of Hermes for the latter).
The Roman numbering system arose with the very first discovery of natural satellites other than Earth's: Galileo referred to the Galilean moons as I through IV (counting from Jupiter outward), in part to spite his rival Simon Marius, who had proposed the names now adopted, after his own proposal to name the bodies after members of the Medici family failed to win currency.
The unstated convention then became, at the close of the 19th century, that the numbers more or less reflected the order of discovery, except for prior historical exceptions (see the Timeline of discovery of Solar System planets and their moons).
In addition to naming planets and satellites themselves, the individual geological and geographical features such as craters, mountains, and volcanoes, on those planets and satellites also need to be named.
In the early days, only a very limited number of features could be seen on other Solar System bodies other than the Moon.
Craters on the Moon could be observed with even some of the earliest telescopes, and 19th-century telescopes could make out some features on Mars.
In 1919 the IAU was formed, and it appointed a committee to regularize the chaotic lunar and Martian nomenclatures then current.
The Martian nomenclature was clarified in 1958, when a committee of the IAU recommended for adoption the names of 128 albedo features (bright, dark, or colored) observed through ground-based telescopes (IAU, 1960).
These names were based on a system of nomenclature developed in the late 19th century by the Italian astronomer Giovanni V. Schiaparelli (1879) and expanded in the early 20th century by Eugene M. Antoniadi (1929), a Greek-born astronomer working at Meudon, France.
However, the age of space probes brought high-resolution images of various Solar System bodies, and it became necessary to propose naming standards for the features seen on them.
Initially, the names given to minor planets followed the same pattern as the other planets: names from Greek or Roman myths, with a preference for female names.
With the discovery in 1898 of the first body found to cross the orbit of Mars, a different choice was deemed appropriate, and 433 Eros was chosen.
As more and more discoveries were made over the years, this system was eventually recognized as being inadequate and a new one was devised.
When observed at least two nights and cannot be identified with an existing celestial object, minor planets are initially assigned provisional designations of the form 2001 KX (the first part is a year; the second part defines a sequential order of discovery within that year).
If enough sightings are obtained of the same minor planet to calculate an orbit, the object is assigned a sequential number—its 'designation'—and it can then be cited as, for instance, (28978) 2001 KX.
After the designation is assigned, the discoverer is given an opportunity to propose a name, which, if accepted by the IAU, replaces the provisional designation.
If a minor planet remains unnamed ten years after it has been given a designation, the right to name it is given also to identifiers of the various apparitions of the object, to discoverers at apparitions other than the official one, to those whose observations contributed extensively to the orbit determination, or to representatives of the observatory at which the official discovery was made.
The CSBN has the right to act on its own in naming a minor planet, which often happens when the number assigned to the body is an integral number of thousands.
In recent years, automated search efforts such as LINEAR or LONEOS have discovered so many thousands of new asteroids that the CSBN has officially limited naming to a maximum of two names per discoverer every two months.
Under IAU rules, names must be pronounceable, preferably one word (such as 5535 Annefrank), although exceptions are possible (such as 9007 James Bond), and since 1982, names are limited to a maximum of sixteen characters, including spaces and hyphens.
Names of people, companies or products known only for success in business are not accepted, nor are citations that resemble advertising.
Whimsical names can be used for relatively ordinary asteroids (such as 26858 Misterrogers or 274301 Wikipedia), but those belonging to certain dynamical groups are expected to follow more strictly defined naming schemes.
Similarly, the second known periodic comet, Comet Encke (formally designated 2P/Encke), was named after the astronomer, Johann Franz Encke, who had calculated its orbit rather than the original discoverer of the comet, Pierre Méchain.
In recent years, many comets have been discovered by instruments operated by large teams of astronomers, and in this case, comets may be named for the instrument (for example, Comet IRAS–Araki–Alcock (C/1983 H1) was discovered independently by the IRAS satellite and amateur astronomers Genichi Araki and George Alcock).
The spaces, apostrophes and other characters in discoverer names are preserved in comet names, like 32P/Comas Solà, 6P/d'Arrest, 53P/Van Biesbroeck, Comet van den Bergh (1974g), 66P/du Toit, or 57P/du Toit–Neujmin–Delporte.
Once an orbit had been established, the comet was given a permanent designation in order of time of perihelion passage, consisting of the year followed by a Roman numeral.
Increasing numbers of comet discoveries made this procedure difficult to operate, and in 2003 the IAU's Committee on Small Body Nomenclature approved a new naming system, and in 2004 the IAU approved a new designation system.
Comets are now designated by the year of their discovery followed by a letter indicating the half-month of the discovery (A denotes the first half of January, B denotes the second Half of January, C denotes the first half of February, D denotes the second half of February, etcetera) and a number indicating the order of discovery.
Objects on hyperbolic orbits that do not show cometary activity also receive an A/ designation (example: A/2018 C2, which became C/2018 C2 (Lemmon) when cometary activity was detected).
Fifty years later, deciding he needed a rest from the business (he planned a cruise around the world with his wife), he again said it in a Coventry theatre, for the last time.
Born in Rotherham, Yorkshire, England, in 1900, he attended White's school in Masbrough where he helped his mother (stage name of Lily le Maine) to put on a marionette show.
At age nine, she put him in a velvet suit with a lace collar and he went on stage and sang.
During this part of his career he was associated with the singer Gracie Fields, and released several records where he collaborated with her.
He made a total of eighty five 78rpm records between 1929 and 1942, mostly double-sided sketches with him in various occupations.
He said in a 1982 interview that he used his stage work to advertise the records, rather than the other way about, though it was later said of him that his records introduced him so wherever he went to put on a show, they already knew him.
Powell said that the catchphrase originated on an occasion when he had dropped his script and was killing time at the microphone while rearranging the pages.
Aged 21 at the time, Pat Phoenix was brought in to play Sandy's wife and played four parts in the film.
He performed with his Starlight company in the Eastbourne Pier theatre for over fifteen seasons in the 1950s and 1960s, earning himself the sobriquet 'Mr Eastbourne', and he was still performing occasionally up to his death in 1982.
After being on stage for a few weeks with a series of awful ventriloquists, he bought a dummy himself and did his own act as a ventriloquist.
He was still well-known enough to have a pub in his home town of Rotherham dedicated to him in 1970 and was awarded the MBE in 1975.
For a day or two, he thought he had bad indigestion but it was worse than he realised and he died of a heart attack on 26 June 1982.
By the 13th century the village became one of the most important trade centres of the area, competing with the nearby town of Gdańsk.
However, during the 15th century the peninsula started to shrink through marine erosion and soon the town was moved to a safer place.
In 1466 King Casimir IV of Poland granted the town as a fief to the rulers of Gdańsk, which ended the century-long struggle for economical domination over the Gdańsk Bay.
In 1526 King Sigismund I the Old withdrew all privileges previously granted to Hel and sold the town and the peninsula to the city authorities of Gdańsk.
It was severely depopulated and in 1872 the government of the newly formed German state abolished the city rights granted to Hel six centuries previously.
It provided a shelter for fishing vessels, but also became a popular destination for weekend trips of the inhabitants of Danzig and Zoppot.
The authorities of the Pomeranian Voivodeship also planned to build a road to the village, but the peninsula was found too narrow at the time.
The naval base was expanded significantly and a battery of coastal artillery was built to provide cover for the military facilities.
Shortly before capitulation, Polish military engineers detonated a number of torpedo warheads, which separated the peninsula from the mainland transforming it into an island.
At the end of the war the village was the last part of Polish soil to be liberated: the German units encircled there only surrendered on 14 May 1945, six days after Germany had capitulated.
In 1996 the Polish Navy sold all remaining parts of the peninsula to the civilian authorities and only a small naval base is there today.
The harbour now serves primarily as a yacht marina, though there are some fishing boats and ferries to Gdańsk, Sopot and Gdynia in the summer.
Hel houses a sea life biological laboratory and there are interesting examples of naval armament and equipment exhibited throughout the town.
There is popular beach along the shore between the inner and outer harbour walls, with a seal sanctuary (the Fokarium) just behind it.
The most easterly edge of Hel, which was once a military territory, can now be accessed by the general public making it possible to walk all the way around the peninsula.
During his minority, his mother, Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Somerset held his lands for him until he reached the age of 15.
When Henry was seventeen, he was placed under the command of Thomas Beaufort, Duke of Exeter, his uncle, at the Siege of Rouen during the Hundred Years' War where he, as well as a number of other nobles, met his demise, although the exact reasons of his death are unknown.
The width of the peninsula varies from approximately 300 m near Jurata, through 100 m in the most narrow part to over 3 km at the tip.
Until the 17th century the peninsula was a chain of islands that formed a strip of land only during the summer.
A road and a railroad run along the peninsula from the mainland to the town located at the furthest point, Hel, a popular tourist destination.
After the peninsula became part of the Second Polish Republic after World War I, it acquired considerable military significance (Polish Corridor), and was turned into a fortified region, with a garrison of about 3,000.
In the course of the Battle of Hel in 1939, Polish forces dynamited the peninsula at one point, turning it into an island.
During the years of German occupation (1939–1945), Hel's defenses were further expanded, and a battery of three 40.6 cm SK C/34 gun was constructed, though the guns were soon moved to the Atlantic Wall in occupied France.
The peninsula remained in German hands until the end of World War II, when the defending forces surrendered on May 14, 1945, six days after Germany had capitulated.
After the war, when Hel again became part of Poland, it continued to have military significance, with much of its area reserved for military use.
Today many of the fortifications and batteries are open to tourists, though some areas of the peninsula still belong to the Polish Armed Forces.
Its 15,522 inhabitants (2011) make it the second most populous Adriatic island after Krk and the most populous Croatian island not connected to the mainland by a bridge.
The island of Korčula belongs to the central Dalmatian archipelago, separated from the Pelješac peninsula by a narrow Strait of Pelješac, between wide.
The climate is Mediterranean; an average air temperature in January is and in July ; the average annual rainfall is .
The main road runs along the spine of the island connecting all settlements from Lumbarda on the eastern to Vela Luka on the western end, with the exception of Račišće, which is served by a separate road running along the northern coast.
There is archaeological evidence at the sites of Vela Spila (Big Cave) and at Jakas Cave near the village of Zrnovo.
A stone inscription found in Lumbarda (Lumbarda Psephisma) and which is the oldest written stone monument in Croatia, records that Greek settlers from Issa (Vis) founded another colony on the island in the 3rd century BC.
Along the Dalmatian coast the Croatian peoples poured out of the interior and seized control of the area where the Neretva River enters the Adriatic, as well as the island of Korčula (Corcyra), which protects the river mouth.
The Christianisation of the Croats began in the 9th century, but the early Croatian rural inhabitants of the island may well have fully accepted Christianity only later; in the early Middle Ages the Croatian population of the island was grouped with the pagan Narentines or Neretvians, who quickly learned maritime skills in this new environment and became known as pirates.
Initially, Venetian merchants were willing to pay an annual tribute to keep their shipping safe from the infamous Neretvian pirates of the Dalmatian coast.
Around this time, the local Korčula rulers began to exercise diplomacy and legislate a town charter to secure the independence of the island, particularly with regard to internal affairs, given its powerful neighbors.
The brothers of Stephen Nemanja, Miroslav and Stracimir, launched an attack on the island on 10 August 1184, raiding its fertile western part.
It guaranteed the autonomy of the island, apart from her outside rulers: the Grand Principality of Raška, the semi-independent Great Principality of Zahumlje and the Republics of Ragusa and Venice.
During the 13th century the hereditary Counts of Korčula were loosely governed in turn by the Hungarian crown and by the Republic of Genoa, and also enjoyed a brief period of independence; but, in 1255, Marsilio Zorzi conquered the island's city and razed or damaged some of its churches in the process, forcing the Counts to return to Venetian supreme rule.
What is more definite is that the Republic of Genoa defeated Venice in the documented Battle of Curzola off the coast of Korčula in 1298 and a galley commander, Marco Polo, was taken prisoner by the victors to eventually spend his time in a Genoese prison writing of his travels.
In 1333, as the Republic of Ragusa purchased Ston with Pelješac from the Serbian Empire, the suzerainty of Ston's Roman Catholic Church with the peninsula was given to the Bishopric of Korčula.
Curzola, as the Venetians called it, surrendered to the Kingdom of Hungary in 1358 according to the Treaty of Zadar, but it surrendered to the Bosnian King Stefan Tvrtko I in the Summer of 1390.
However the Kingdom of Hungary restored rule of the island, and in December 1396 Croatian-Hungarian King Sigismund gave it to Đurađ II Stracimirović of the Balšić dynasty of Zeta, who kept it up to his death in 1403, when it was returned under the Hungarian crown.
In 1409 it again became a part of the Venetian Republic, purchased by the neighbouring Republic of Venice in 1413–1417, it still declared itself subjected to Venice in 1420.
Korčula had for years supplied the timber for the wooden walls of Venice, and had been a favourite station of her fleets.
According to the Treaty of Campoformio in 1797 in which the Venetian Republic was divided between the French Republic and the Habsburg Monarchy, Korčula passed on to the Habsburg Monarchy.
The Montenegrin Forces of Prince-Episcope Peter I Njegos conquered the island with Russian naval assistance in 1807 during his attempt to construct another Serbian Empire.
The defeat of Austria however at the battle of Wagram in 1809 had put most of the Adriatic under French control.
According to the terms of the Congress of Vienna, the British left the island to the Austrian Empire in 1815 on July 19 in terms of the Congress of Vienna.
During the First World War, the island (among other territorial gains) was promised to the Kingdom of Italy in the 1915 Treaty of London in return for Italy joining the war on the side of Great Britain and France.
However, after the war, Korčula became a part (with the rest of Dalmatia) of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs in 1918.
It was ruled by Italy from 1918 to 1921, after which it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, known from 1929 on as the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
After the Armistice between Italy and the Allied powers in September 1943, it was briefly held by the Yugoslav Partisans who enjoyed considerable support in the region.
The state changed the name to Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1953, and so did the Republic into Socialist Republic of Croatia.
The Korkyra Baroque Festival is a new annual international event, which will be launched from the 7th to 16 September 2012.
The festival will showcase a selection of the world's leading ensembles and soloists specialized in Baroque music, including the Academy of Ancient Music (Great Britain), Le Parlament de Musique (France), Currende and Erik Van Nevel (Belgium), La Venexiana (Italy), Red Priest (Great Britain), (Croatia) and others.
Along with the festival's high artistic credentials the event will also promote the richness of Korčula's cultural monuments and the whole town as a unique architectural treasure.
Korčula is linked to the mainland by a regular ferry service that runs between Dominče, just outside Korčula Town and Orebić.
The main Croatian ferry operator Jadrolinija runs a service linking Korčula Town with Rijeka, Split, Hvar, Mljet, Dubrovnik and (from May to September) Bari.
There are also bus services that link the island to major cities on the mainland, which reach Korčula using the Orebić ferry service.
The port is open to international seaborne traffic as a permanent Port of entry; it offers all types of repairs to hulls and engines at the Brodograditelj Shipyard.
When all these factors are present, the result is a repeatable, near perfect pattern of eight symmetrical arrows in the face-up position of the stone (called 'crown') and eight symmetrical hearts when viewed in the table-down position (called 'pavilion').
The original Hearts and Arrows were diamonds that surfaced in the mid 1980s in Japan that embodied three important design factors.
The third important factor was that they were cut to a very specific brilliantine scheme to produce the accepted hearts and arrows pattern.
This faceting scheme involves prescribed lengths and ratios as well as smaller table sizes that are imperative in producing a distinctive, repeatable and gradable hearts and arrows pattern.
This is in large part due to the greater amount of rough diamond that necessitates additional polishing to create diamonds with this precise optical symmetry.
Diamond polishers take up to three times longer to cut diamonds of this cut quality, with much greater waste of the original diamond rough material.
Using specialized tooling and high quality cutting wheels and in some cases 100X magnification, factories must employ careful analysis through every stage of production.
To see the hearts and arrows pattern in a diamond, a specially designed light-directing viewer called a Hearts and Arrows scope.
This hearts and arrows viewer is a simple device that allows the viewer to analyze the physical symmetry, contrast and alignment of facets of a diamond by viewing the stone through both the top (crown) and bottom (pavilion) of a diamond, by directing white and colored light at set angles in order to catch and reflect light back from specific facets and angles of the diamond.
In the early 1990s, Hearts and Arrows (aka H&A) began to appear in America, they were much more high-tech than the grading labs were.
The diamonds were extremely round, tables were 55-57%, the girdles were medium or thin to medium and polish and symmetry were graded excellent.
HRD (Hoge Raad voor de Diamant) applies objective criteria and uses an automatic measuring device developed in-house to determine whether a diamond meets the stringent Hearts & Arrows standard.
The WTOCD (Wetenschappelijk technish Onderzoeks Centrum voor Diamant) is one of the most important scientific and technical research centers for diamonds.
Diamonds with a Hearts and Arrows cut command a price premium in the world's market, reflecting the generally greater time needed to produce them and the greater loss of weight from rough, as well as their generally better overall cut quality.
Although the «Hearts and Arrows» property is indicative of a top-tier cut, it does not always mean the diamond will be the most brilliant, and should be looked at in conjunction with the cut grade.
Because there used to be no industry standard, one person or company may say a diamond is a Hearts and Arrows diamond while another may say it is not.
Many within the diamond industry believe the Hearts and Arrows pattern should be graded, and only those with the top grade should be called Hearts and Arrows.
Those people believe that the mere presence of a Hearts and Arrows pattern is not sufficient to be considered a Hearts and Arrows diamond; the pattern must be perfect to fit within certain guidelines.
The diamond industry is still somewhat behind the latest technological advances in hearts and arrows precise optical symmetry and thus have not established firm criteria for evaluating stones on this level.
For consumers looking to purchase stones of this cut quality it is best to review hearts and arrows images under a H&A viewer.
William Thomas Berry (born July 31, 1958) is a retired American musician who was the drummer for the alternative rock band R.E.M.
Although best known for his solid, economical drumming style, Berry also played other instruments including guitar, bass guitar, and piano, both for songwriting and on R.E.M.
After 17 years with the band, Berry left the music industry to become a farmer, and has since maintained a low profile, making sporadic reunions with R.E.M.
At the age of three years, Berry moved with his family to Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee, where they would remain for the next seven years.
In 1972, the Berry family made their final move, to Macon, Georgia, just in time for Bill to start high school at Mount de Sales Academy.
They rented an apartment on Arlington Place in Macon and Bill landed a job at the Paragon booking agency next door.
In addition to his duties as a drummer, Berry contributed occasional guitar, bass, mandolin, vocals, keyboards and piano on studio tracks.
He recovered and rejoined the band, but left in October 1997, saying that he no longer had the drive or enjoyment level to be in the band, and that he wanted a career change.
They continued to tour with several accompanying musicians, including long-time sidemen Ken Stringfellow and Scott McCaughey and employed Joey Waronker and Bill Rieflin as live drummers.
Prior to the group's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Berry granted his first interview in several years, discussing life after retirement.
On 16 March 1836 she married Lord John Douglas Scott, a younger son of the 4th Duke of Buccleuch, and consequently was known as Lady John Scott.
Under the will of her father, she resumed her maiden name Spottiswoode in 1866, and was sometimes known as Lady John Scott Spottiswoode.
Lady John Scott was a champion of traditional Scots language, history and culture, her motto being 'Haud [hold] fast by the past'.
Powell has been a frequent collaborator with directors Martin Scorsese and Todd Haynes, having designed the costumes for seven of Scorsese's films and four of Haynes's.
Powell left Central School of Art in London, before completing her degree, due to offers of work from, amongst others, Derek Jarman.
She was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2011 New Year Honours for services to the film industry.
A vanishing point is a point on the image plane of a perspective drawing where the two-dimensional perspective projections (or drawings) of mutually parallel lines in three-dimensional space appear to converge.
Mathematically, let be a point lying on the image plane, where is the focal length (of the camera associated with the image), and let be the unit vector associated with , where .
If we consider a straight line in space with the unit vector and its vanishing point , the unit vector associated with is equal to , assuming both are assumed to point towards the image plane.
When the image plane is parallel to two world-coordinate axes, lines parallel to the axis which is cut by this image plane will have images that meet at a single vanishing point.
Similarly, when the image plane intersects two world-coordinate axes, lines parallel to those planes will meet form two vanishing points in the picture plane.
In three-point perspective the image plane intersects the , , and axes and therefore lines parallel to these axes intersect, resulting in three different vanishing points.
It says that the image in a picture plane of a line in space, not parallel to the picture, is determined by its intersection with and its vanishing point.
She notes, in terms of projective geometry, the vanishing point is the image of the point at infinity associated with , as the sightline from through the vanishing point is parallel to .
As a vanishing point originates in a line, so a vanishing line originates in a plane that is not parallel to the picture .
Given the eye point , and the plane parallel to and lying on , then the vanishing line of is .
For example, when is the ground plane and is the horizon plane, then the vanishing line of is the horizon line .
To put it simply, the vanishing line of some plane, say , is obtained by the intersection of the image plane with another plane, say , parallel to the plane of interest (), passing through the camera center.
the vanishing point associated with that pair, on a horizon line, or vanishing line formed by the intersection of the image plane with the plane parallel to and passing through the pinhole.
All vanishing points associated with different lines with different slopes belonging to plane will lie on the axis, which in this case is the horizon line.
Let , , and be three mutually orthogonal straight lines in space and , , be the three corresponding vanishing points respectively.
Let , , and be three mutually orthogonal straight lines in space and , , be the three corresponding vanishing points respectively.
The orthocenter of the triangle with vertices in the three vanishing points is the intersection of the optical axis and the image plane.
In 5-point perspective the vanishing points are mapped into a circle with 4 vanishing points at the cardinal headings N, W, S, E and one at the circle's origin.
The first step, called the accumulation step, as the name suggests, clusters the line segments with the assumption that a cluster will share a common vanishing point.
Barnard assumed this space to be a Gaussian sphere centered on the optical center of the camera as an accumulator space.
A line segment on the image corresponds to a great circle on this sphere, and the vanishing point in the image is mapped to a point.
Several modifications have been made since, but one of the most efficient techniques was using the Hough Transform, mapping the parameters of the line segment to the bounded space.
The process of mapping from the image to the bounded spaces causes the loss of the actual distances between line segments and points.
This is followed by removal of those line segments, and the search step is repeated until this count goes below a certain threshold.
Ticker tape was the earliest electrical dedicated financial communications medium, transmitting stock price information over telegraph lines, in use from around 1870 through 1970.
It consisted of a paper strip that ran through a machine called a stock ticker, which printed abbreviated company names as alphabetic symbols followed by numeric stock transaction price and volume information.
The concept of the stock ticker lives on, however, in the scrolling electronic tickers seen on brokerage walls and on news and financial television channels.
Although telegraphic printing systems were first invented by Royal Earl House in 1846, early models were fragile, required hand-cranked power, frequently went out of synchronization between sender and receiver, and did not become popular in widespread commercial use.
David E. Hughes improved the printing telegraph design with clockwork weight power in 1856, and his design was further improved and became viable for commercial use when George M. Phelps devised a resynchronization system in 1858.
The first stock price ticker system using a telegraphic printer was invented by Edward A. Calahan in 1863; he unveiled his device in New York City on November 15, 1867.
One of the earliest practical stock ticker machines, the Universal Stock Ticker developed by Thomas Edison in 1869, used alphanumeric characters with a printing speed of approximately one character per second.
Since the useful time-span of individual quotes is very brief, they generally had not been sent long distances; aggregated summaries, typically for one day, were sent instead.
Since the ticker ran continuously, updates to a stock's price whenever the price changed became effective much faster and trading became a more time-sensitive matter.
In 1890, members of the exchange agreed to create the New York Quotation Co., buying up all other ticker companies to ensure accuracy of reporting of price and volume activity.
Stock ticker machines are an ancestor of the modern computer printer, being one of the first applications of transmitting text over a wire to a printing device, based on the printing telegraph.
This used the technology of the then-recently invented telegraph machines, with the advantage that the output was readable text, instead of the dots and dashes of Morse code.
A special typewriter designed for operation over telegraph wires was used at the opposite end of the telegraph wire connection to the ticker machine.
Pulses on the telegraph line made a letter wheel turn step by step until the correct symbol was reached and then printed.
A typical 32-symbol letter wheel had to turn on average 15 steps until the next letter could be printed resulting in a very slow printing speed of one character per second.
In 1883, ticker transmitter keyboards resembled the keyboard of a piano with black keys indicating letters and the white keys indicating numbers and fractions, corresponding to two rotating type wheels in the connected ticker tape printers.
Newer and more efficient tickers became available in the 1930s, but these newer and better tickers still had an approximate 15-to-20-minute delay.
Simulated ticker displays, named after the original machines, still exist as part of the display of television news channels and on some websites—see news ticker.
One of the most famous outdoor displays is the simulated ticker scrolling marquee located at One Times Square in New York City.
Many today include color to indicate whether a stock is trading higher than the previous day’s (green), lower than previous (red), or has remained unchanged (blue or white).
In the early days of baseball, before electronic scoreboards, manual score turners used a ticker to get the latest scores from around the league.
Used ticker tape was used as confetti, to be thrown from the windows above parades either cut up into scraps or thrown as whole spools, primarily in lower Manhattan; this became known as a ticker tape parade.
Ticker tape parades generally celebrated some significant event, such as the end of World War I and World War II, or the safe return of one of the early astronauts.
However, actual ticker tape is not used during these parades any longer; often, pieces of paper from paper shredders are used as a convenient source of confetti.
Lorenzo’s oil is 4 parts glycerol trioleate and 1 part glycerol trierucate, which are the triacylglycerol forms of oleic acid and erucic acid and are prepared from olive oil and rapeseed oil.
The oil was formulated by Augusto and Michaela Odone after their son Lorenzo was diagnosed with the disease in 1984, at the age of five, with the actual production initially developed by retired British scientist Don Suddaby (formerly of Croda International).
The royalties received by Augusto were paid to The Myelin Project which he and Michaela founded to further research treatments for ALD and similar disorders.
Lorenzo Odone died on May 30, 2008, at the age of 30, after suffering from aspiration pneumonia, caused by food getting stuck in his lungs.
The mixture of fatty acids purportedly reduces the levels of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), which are elevated in ALD.
Lorenzo's oil, in combination with a diet low in VLCFA, has been investigated for its possible effects on the progression of ALD.
Clinical results have been mixed and the use of Lorenzo's oil has been controversial due to uncertainties regarding its clinical efficacy and the clinical indications for its use.
In 2005, Moser published a controlled study concluding that Lorenzo's oil does not alter the course of the illness in symptomatic patients, but asymptomatic patients had a reduced risk of developing ALD while on the dietary therapy.
Moser's findings, that Lorenzo's oil did not help symptomatic ALD patients, are consistent with prior studies published in 2003 and 1999.
A study by Poulos published in 1994 found that Lorenzo's oil is of limited value in correcting the accumulation of saturated VLCFAs in the brain of patients with ALD.
Dietary manipulation using Lorenzo's oil has been shown to lower blood levels of very long chain fatty acids, but it is ineffective in symptomatic ALD.
However, studies by Hugo Moser have found evidence that use of the oil by asymptomatic patients may slightly delay the onset of symptoms.
When he was 21 years old, Vytas moved to Tennessee to study at the University of Tennessee's Music Conservatory, where he was a pupil of David Van Vactor.
Later, at college in Nashville, Vytas took post-graduate courses in Electronic music with Professor Gilbert Trythall, and graduated with honors in 1972.
Brenner recorded several remarkable LPs, each one a breakthrough, as he was in fact developing a new genre in giant leaps.
All the while, Brenner was a very successful studio musician, composing and performing in countless radio jingles, TV commercials and presidential campaigns.
Brenner died on 18 March 2004 of a heart attack in Salzburg, Austria at the age of 57, while recording music for an upcoming CD.
The original wooden fort, which defended a ford over the Dniester, was an important link in the chain of fortifications which comprised four forts (e.g.
Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, then known as Akkerman, and Khotyn) on the Dniester, two forts on the Danube and three forts on the north border of medieval Moldova.
Between 1543 and 1546 under the rule of Peter IV Rareș, the fort was rebuilt in stone as a perfect circle with five bastions situated at equal distances.
The Soroca Fort is an important attraction in Soroca, having preserved cultures and kept the old Soroca in the present day.
After a tour as Chief Secretary for Ireland in 1830 he became Secretary at War again in Sir Robert Peel's cabinet.
He went on to be Governor-General of India at the time of the First Anglo-Sikh War and then Commander-in-Chief of the Forces during the Crimean War.
Born the son of the Reverend Henry Hardinge, Rector of Stanhope, and Frances Hardinge (née Best) and educated at Durham School and Sevenoaks School, Hardinge entered the British Army on 23 July 1799 as an ensign in the Queen's Rangers, a corps then stationed in Upper Canada.
He was promoted to lieutenant by purchase in the 4th Regiment of Foot on 27 March 1802 and transferred to the 1st Regiment of Foot on 11 July 1803 before becoming a captain of a company by purchase in the 57th Regiment of Foot on 21 April 1804.
He saw action at the Battle of Roliça on 17 August 1808, at the Battle of Vimeiro on 21 August 1808, where he was wounded, and at Corunna on 16 January 1809 where he was by the side of Sir John Moore when the latter was killed.
He was promoted to major on 13 April 1809 and appointed deputy-quartermaster-general in the Portuguese army and was present at many of the battles of the Peninsular War.
Promoted to lieutenant-colonel in 1811, he saved the day for the British at Battle of Albuera on 16 May 1811 by taking responsibility at a critical moment and strongly urging General Cole's division to advance.
He took part in the Battle of Vitoria on 21 June 1813, where he was wounded again, and was also present at the Battle of the Pyrenees in July 1813 and the Battle of Nivelle on 10 November 1813.
He commanded the Portuguese brigade at the Battle of Orthez on 27 February 1814 and the Battle of Toulouse on 10 April 1814.
Attached to the staff of the allied Prussian Army under Marshal Blucher, he was present at the Battle of Ligny on 16 June 1815, where he lost his left hand by a shot, and thus was not present at Waterloo two days later.
On 4 April 1823 he was appointed Clerk of the Ordnance and on 9 June 1828 he accepted the office of Secretary at War in Wellington's ministry.
Returned as Member of Parliament for St Germans in 1830, for Newport in 1831 and for Launceston in 1832, he served as Chief Secretary for Ireland in 1830 and 1834 to 1835.
After further British successes at the Battle of Sobraon on 10 February 1846, the Battle of Ferozeshah on 21 December 1845 and the Battle of Aliwal on 28 January 1846, Hardinge concluded the campaign with the Treaty of Lahore with Maharajah Duleep Singh on 9 March 1846 and the Treaty of Amritsar with Maharajah Gulab Singh on 16 March 1846.
Recognising an annuity of £5000 being paid by the East India Company, Parliament provided that Viscount Hardinge should continue to receive his full salary as Governor General.
Hardinge returned to England in 1848, and became Master-General of the Ordnance on 5 March 1852; he succeeded the Duke of Wellington as commander-in-chief of the British Army on 28 September 1852.
While in this position he had responsibility for the direction of the Crimean War, which he endeavoured to conduct on Wellington's principles — a system not altogether suited to the changed mode of warfare.
Albert helped him to a sofa, where despite being paralysed on one side, he continued to deliver his report, apologizing for the interruption.
He was also colonel of the 97th Regiment of Foot from 4 March 1833 and of the 57th Regiment of Foot from 31 May 1843.
Hardinge resigned his office of commander-in-chief in July 1856, owing to failing health, and died on 24 September 1856 at South Park near Tunbridge Wells.
Open communion is the practice of some Protestant Churches of allowing members and non-members to receive the Eucharist (also called Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper).
Many but not all churches that practice open communion require that the person receiving communion be a baptized Christian, and other requirements may apply as well.
Open communion is the opposite of closed communion, where the sacrament is reserved for members of the particular church or others with which it is in a relationship of full communion or fellowship, or has otherwise recognized for that purpose.
Generally, churches that offer open communion to other Christians do not require an explicit affirmation of Christianity from the communicant before distributing the elements; the act of receiving is an implicit affirmation.
However, it is also practiced in some churches that have a communion procession, where the congregation comes forward to receive communion in front of the altar; such is the case in the United Methodist Church, the Episcopal Church, most Anglican churches, and some Lutheran churches.
Those practising open communion generally believe that the invitation to receive communion is an invitation to Christ's table, and that it is not the province of human beings to interfere between an individual and Christ.
Some traditions maintain that there are certain circumstances under which individuals should not present themselves for (and should voluntarily refrain from receiving) communion.
Most churches in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America practise their own form of open communion, offering the Eucharist to adults without receiving catechetical instruction, provided they are baptized and believe in the Real Presence.
Notable exceptions include the Orthodox Church, the Catholic Church, Reformed Seventh Day Adventists, traditional Lutheran churches, and some Reformed Protestant or Calvinist denominations (in which you must be a baptized member).
it is not for the minister, elders/deacons, or members to decide who may or may not partake); thus, the practice is more akin to open communion.
Assemblies of God, Baptist and other churches that practise congregational polity, due to their autonomous nature, may (depending on the individual congregation) practise open or closed communion.
The LDS Church, on the other hand, views its corresponding ceremony (known as the Sacrament) as having meaning only for church members (though without actually forbidding others from participating).
In the Anglican Communion, as well as in many other traditional Christian denominations, those who are not baptized may come forward in the communion line with their arms crossed over their chest, in order to receive a blessing from the priest, in lieu of Holy Communion.
Within the Nontrinitarian groups, the Church of God General Conference practices open communion, as well as many Unitarian and Universalist Christian churches such as Kings Chapel in Boston, Massachusetts.
In lieu of Holy Communion, some parishes invite non-Catholics to come forward in the line, with their arms crossed over their chest, and receive a blessing from the priest.
However, Canon 844 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law of the Latin Church and the parallel canon 671 of the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches also recognizes that in certain circumstances, by way of exception, and under certain conditions, access to these sacraments may be permitted, or even commended, for Christians of other Churches and ecclesial Communities.
For other baptized Christians (such as Anglicans, Methodists and other Protestants) under the jurisdiction of other episcopal conferences, the conditions are more severe.
Only in danger of death or if, in the judgment of the local bishop, there is a grave and pressing need, may members of these Churches who cannot approach a minister of their own Church be invited to receive the Eucharist, if they spontaneously ask for it, demonstrate that they have the catholic faith in the Eucharist, and are properly disposed.
Notably, Pope John Paul II gave Holy Communion to Brother Roger, a Reformed pastor and founder of the Taizé Community, several times; in addition Cardinal Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI) also gave Brother Roger the Eucharist.
The Catholic Church does not allow its own faithful to receive Communion from ministers of another Church, apart from in extreme cases, such as danger of death, and only if it recognizes the validity of the sacraments of that Church.
Other conditions are that it be physically or morally impossible for the Catholic to approach a Catholic minister, that it be a case of real need or spiritual benefit, and that the danger of error or indifferentism be avoided.
Some branches of Lutheranism, such as the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod and the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, do not practice open communion; they exclude non-members and require catechetical instructions for all people, even members from other Lutheran churches, before receiving the Eucharist.
This generally stems from an understanding that sharing communion is a sign of Christian unity; where that unity is not present, neither should Eucharistic sharing be present.
Other parts of the Lutheran Church, including the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, and many members of the Lutheran World Federation, practice open communion and welcome all Baptized Christians, regardless of their denominational affiliation, training, or specific beliefs, to the table.
In fact, the ELCA has specific communion sharing agreements with a number of other Christian denominations, encouraging the sharing of the sacrament across belief system boundaries.
The understanding that lies behind this practice is that Communion is both a foretaste of eschatological Christian unity as well as an effective means of fostering that unity.
The French Territory of the Afars and the Issas () was the name given to present-day Djibouti between 1967 and 1977, while it was still an overseas territory of France.
In 1958, on the eve of neighboring Somalia's independence in 1960, a referendum was held in the territory to decide whether or not to join the Somali Republic or to remain with France.
The referendum turned out in favour of a continued association with France, partly due to a combined yes vote by the sizable Afar ethnic group and resident Europeans.
The majority of those who had voted no were Somalis who were strongly in favour of joining a united Somalia, as had been proposed by Mahmoud Harbi, Vice President of the Government Council.
In October 1960, he and several of his associates died in a plane crash under mysterious circumstances on a return trip from China to Somalia.
In August of the same year, an official visit to the territory by then French President, General Charles de Gaulle, was also met with demonstrations and rioting.
Voting was also divided along ethnic lines, with the resident Somalis generally voting for independence, with the goal of eventual reunion with Somalia, and the Afars largely opting to remain associated with France.
However, the referendum was again marred by reports of vote rigging on the part of the French authorities, with some 10,000 Somalis deported under the pretext that they did not have valid identity cards.
According to the UN, there was an inordinate number of invalid ballots in Somali districts, which it suggested implied that the plebiscite had been manipulated.
Although the territory was at the time inhabited by 58,240 Somali and 48,270 Afar, official figures indicated that only 14,689 Somali were allowed to register to vote versus 22,004 Afar.
Somali representatives also charged that the French had simultaneously imported thousands of Afar nomads from neighboring Ethiopia to further tip the odds in their favor, but the French authorities denied this, suggesting that Afars already greatly outnumbered Somalis on the voting lists.
This was both in acknowledgement of the large Afar constituency and to downplay the significance of the Somali composition (the Issa being a Somali sub-clan).
The French Territory of Afars and Issas also differed from French Somaliland in terms of government structure, as the position of Governor General changed to that of High Commissioner.
With a steadily enlarging Somali population, the likelihood of a third referendum appearing successful for the French had grown even dimmer.
The prohibitive cost of maintaining the colony, France's last outpost on the continent, was another factor that compelled observers to doubt that the French would attempt to hold on to the territory.
Hassan Gouled Aptidon, a Somali politician who had campaigned for a yes vote in the referendum of 1958, eventually wound up as the nation's first president (1977–1999).
While at Harvard, he was a member of the Hasty Pudding Institute of 1770, Stylus, Iroquois and Fly Clubs, as well as a member of the Harvard hockey team.
It was through the Society of Friends that Albert and Sylvia came to house two of the Hiroshima Maidens: young Japanese women, severely disfigured by the effects of the atomic bomb, who were brought to the United States to undergo plastic surgery in 1955.
Bigelow became involved with the American Friends Service Committee in the mid-1950s, attempting to deliver a 17,411 signature petition, opposing atmospheric nuclear tests, to the White House via Maxwell M. Rabb, Cabinet Secretary.
On August 6, 1957, on the 12th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, Bigelow and twelve other members of the newly formed Committee for Non-Violent Action were arrested when they attempted to enter the Camp Mercury nuclear test site in Nevada, as part of a nonviolent vigil against the testing.
A second attempt on June 4 was also unsuccessful - the crew were arrested, charged with contempt of court and sentenced to sixty days in jail.
Earle L. Reynolds was an anthropologist who had visited Hiroshima to study the effects of the atomic bomb on Japanese society.
Bigelow's story would go on to inspire fellow Quaker Marie Bohlen to suggest the use of a similar tactic to members of the Vancouver-based Don't Make a Wave Committee (later to become Greenpeace) in 1970.
Bigelow continued to take part in non-violent protests during the late 1950s and early 1960s, and was a participant in the Freedom Rides organized by the Congress on Racial Equality in 1961.
In his later years, from 1971 to 1975, he was a trustee to The Meeting School, a Quaker school in Rindge, New Hampshire.
She, however, had resumed her affair with Harry Crosby within two months of their marriage, and then, on 10 December that year she and Crosby were found dead in an apparent murder suicide.
Southeast Texas includes part of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and most of the Texas portion of the Intracoastal Waterway.
The area is also crossed by numerous rivers and streams, the largest three being the Sabine River, the Neches River, and the Trinity River.
The only large bodies of water in Southeast Texas are Galveston Bay and Sabine Lake, but the large reservoirs of East Texas are just to the North.
The Piney Woods extend into the Northern parts of Southeast Texas, reaching as far south as the rice paddies and marshlands that lie between Houston and Beaumont.
The highest point on the coast is at High Island, where a salt dome raises the elevation to around 40feet (12m).
Toward Central Texas, the mixed pine and hardwood forests give way to the East Central Texas forests of post oak and grasslands.
Some residents of the Golden Triangle do not consider the Greater Houston area to be part of Southeast Texas and place the western boundary of the region approximately at the Trinity River, which is roughly 30 miles from downtown Houston.
The Big Thicket is an area of dense forest located in the area just north and northwest of the city of Beaumont.
Two historically important routes cross the Big Thicket: to the north lies the old cattle route or Beef Trail, that ran from Tyler County to Louisiana; to the south is the Spanish Trail or the Atascosito Road, that parallels modern Highway90 and Interstate10 from Liberty to Orange.
The bay is fed by the Trinity River and the San Jacinto River, numerous local bayous, and incoming tides from the Gulf of Mexico.
The bay covers approximately 600 square miles (1,500 km²), and is 30 miles (50 km) long and 17 miles (27 km) wide.
The bay has three inlets to the Gulf of Mexico: Bolivar Roads (the exit of the Houston Ship Channel) between Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula, San Luis Pass to the west, and Rollover Pass to the east.
The bay provides nursery and spawning grounds for large amounts of marine life and is important for both commercial and recreational fishing.
On average, the region receives more rain than other parts of the state, and it experiences a wet season and dry season like the tropics.
During Tropical Storm Claudette in 1979, the city of Alvin recorded an official 24-hour rainfall total of 42inches (1,067 mm)—the highest one-day rainfall total ever measured in the United States.
Much of this can be explained by the natural occurrence of thunderstorms in the region, which form almost daily during the wet season.
However, the unusual clustering of lightning around the developed areas of Houston, the Golden Triangle, and Lake Charles, Louisiana have led many researchers to believe that some combination of urban heat islands and air pollution are responsible for increasing the number of lightning strikes beyond even the already-high natural levels.
Major hurricanes that have severely affected the area in the 21st century include Hurricane Rita in 2005; Hurricane Ike, which passed over much of Houston and surrounding areas in 2008; and Hurricane Harvey, which inundated Southeast Texas in 2017.
Culturally, Southeast Texas is more closely akin to the Gulf Coast, Louisiana, or even Mississippi, than it is to West Texas.
Southeast Texas is consistent with much of the rest of rural Texas in that it is a part of the Bible Belt, an area in which many inhabitants have strongly Fundamentalist Christian beliefs.
Many of the largest cities in East Texas outside Houston still follow a rural Southern way of life, especially in dialect, mannerisms, religion, and cuisine.
Houston is the largest city and economic center of Southeast Texas, and it holds the second most Fortune 500 headquarters within the city limits after New York City.
The book was written by romance writer Rustichello da Pisa, who worked from accounts which he had heard from Marco Polo when they were imprisoned together in Genoa.
From the beginning, there has been incredulity over Polo's sometimes fabulous stories, as well as a scholarly debate in recent times.
Some have questioned whether Marco had actually travelled to China or was just repeating stories that he had heard from other travellers.
Modern assessments of the text usually consider it to be the record of an observant rather than imaginative or analytical traveller.
Marco Polo emerges as being curious and tolerant, and devoted to Kublai Khan and the dynasty that he served for two decades.
The journey took 3 years after which they arrived in Cathay as it was then called and met the grandson of Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan.
The tradition is that Polo dictated the book to a romance writer, Rustichello da Pisa, while in prison in Genoa between 1298–1299.
It is believed that Polo related his memoirs orally to Rustichello da Pisa while both were prisoners of the Genova Republic.
Latham also argued that Rustichello may have glamorised Polo's accounts, and added fantastic and romantic elements that made the book a bestseller.
Latham believed that many elements of the book, such as legends of the Middle East and mentions of exotic marvels, may have been the work of Rustichello who was giving what medieval European readers expected to find in a travel book.
The Dominican father Francesco Pipino was the author of a translation into Latin, Iter Marci Pauli Veneti in 1302, just a few years after Marco's return to Venice.
According to some recent research of the Italian scholar Antonio Montefusco, the very close relationship that Marco Polo cultivated with members of the Dominican Order in Venice suggests that local fathers collaborated with him for a Latin version of the book, which means that Rustichello's text was translated into Latin for a precise will of the Order.
the role of Dominican missionaries in China and in the Indies), it is reasonable to think that they considered Marco's book as a trustworthy piece of information for missions in the East.
The diplomatic communications between Pope Innocent IV and Pope Gregory X with the Mongols were probably another reason for this endorsement.
Book Three describes some of the coastal regions of the East: Japan, India, Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia, and the east coast of Africa.
Book Four describes some of the then-recent wars among the Mongols and some of the regions of the far north, like Russia.
In the mid-fifteenth century the cartographer of Murano, Fra Mauro, meticulously included all of Polo's toponyms in his 1450 map of the world.
Marco Polo's description of the Far East and its riches inspired Christopher Columbus's decision to try to reach Asia by sea, in a westward route.
Marco Polo was accompanied on his trips by his father and uncle (both of whom had been to China previously), though neither of them published any known works about their journeys.
According to the French philologist Philippe Ménard, there are six main versions of the book: the version closest to the original, in Franco-Venetian; a version in Old French; a version in Tuscan; two versions in Venetian; two different versions in Latin.
The first attempt to collate manuscripts and provide a critical edition was in a volume of collected travel narratives printed at Venice in 1559.
Doubts have also been raised in later centuries about Marco Polo's narrative of his travels in China, for example for his failure to mention a number of things and practices commonly associated with China, such as the Chinese characters, tea, chopsticks, and footbinding.
In particular, his failure to mention the Great Wall of China had been noted as early as the middle of the seventeenth century.
Many have questioned whether or not he had visited the places he mentioned in his itinerary, or he had appropriated the accounts of his father and uncle or other travelers, or doubted that he even reached China and that, if he did, perhaps never went beyond Khanbaliq (Beijing).
For example, none of the other Western travelers to Yuan dynasty China at that time, such as Giovanni de' Marignolli and Odoric of Pordenone, mentioned the Great Wall, and that while remnants of the Wall would have existed at that time, it would not have been significant or noteworthy as it had not been maintained for a long time.
The Great Walls were built to keep out northern invaders, whereas the ruling dynasty during Marco Polo's visit were those very northern invaders.
The Mongol rulers whom Polo served also controlled territories both north and south of today's wall, and would have no reasons to maintain any fortifications that may have remained there from the earlier dynasties.
He noted the Great Wall familiar to us today is a Ming structure built some two centuries after Marco Polo's travels.
The Muslim traveler Ibn Battuta did mention the Great Wall, but when he asked about the wall while in China during the Yuan dynasty, he could find no one who had either seen it or knew of anyone who had seen it.
Haw also argued that practices such as footbinding were not common even among Chinese during Polo's time and almost unknown among the Mongols.
While the Italian missionary Odoric of Pordenone who visited Yuan China mentioned footbinding (it is however unclear whether he was only relaying something he heard as his description is inaccurate), no other foreign visitors to Yuan China mentioned the practice, perhaps an indication that the footbinding was not widespread or was not practiced in an extreme form at that time.
Despite a few exaggerations and errors, Polo's accounts are relatively free of the descriptions of irrational marvels, and in many cases where present (mostly given in the first part before he reached China, such as mentions of Christian miracles), he made a clear distinction that they are what he had heard rather than what he had seen.
It is also largely free of the gross errors in other accounts such as those given by the Moroccan traveler Ibn Battuta who had confused the Yellow River with the Grand Canal and other waterways, and believed that porcelain was made from coal.
For example, when visiting Zhenjiang in Jiangsu, China, Marco Polo noted that a large number of Christian churches had been built there.
His claim is confirmed by a Chinese text of the 14th century explaining how a Sogdian named Mar-Sargis from Samarkand founded six Nestorian Christian churches there in addition to one in Hangzhou during the second half of the 13th century.
Nestorian Christianity had existed in China since the Tang dynasty (618–907 AD) when a Persian monk named Alopen came to the capital Chang'an in 653 to proselytize, as described in a dual Chinese and Syriac language inscription from Chang'an (modern Xi'an) dated to the year 781.
In 2012, the University of Tübingen sinologist and historian Hans Ulrich Vogel released a detailed analysis of Polo's description of currencies, salt production and revenues, and argued that the evidence supports his presence in China because he included details which he could not have otherwise known.
His accounts of salt production and revenues from the salt monopoly are also accurate, and accord with Chinese documents of the Yuan era.
Although Marco Polo was certainly the most famous, he was not the only nor the first European traveller to the Mongol Empire who subsequently wrote an account of his experiences.
Earlier thirteenth-century European travellers who journeyed to the court of the Great Khan were André de Longjumeau, William of Rubruck and Giovanni da Pian del Carpine with Benedykt Polak.
Later travelers such as Odoric of Pordenone and Giovanni de' Marignolli reached China during the Yuan dynasty and wrote accounts of their travels.
The 14th-century author John Mandeville wrote an account of journeys in the East, but this was probably based on second-hand information and contains much apocryphal information.
After Henry's death, the three generations of women have to cope with one another as best they can, under their shared roof.
Sarah often finds herself in the middle of things, usually figuratively but always literally, as her mother lives upstairs and her daughter has the downstairs flat.
Sometimes mother and daughter ally against grandmother, sometimes mother and grandmother go against daughter, but usually grandmother and granddaughter gang up on the long-suffering Sarah, whose one haven is Bygone Books, the remarkably unsuccessful second-hand bookshop where she works for Russell, who dispenses in turn sympathy and wisdom.
Most of the time, Russell sees the women's relationships second-hand through Sarah, although he isn't opposed to taking the occasional more active role when necessary.
In turn, Sarah can see some of Russell's difficulties of living with a gay partner in 1980s London suburbia, while at the same time seeing Russell's relationship as the one perfect marriage she knows.
Prunella Scales and Joan Sanderson returned as Sarah and Eleanor, but Gerry Cowper was, at the age of 30, considered too old to play Clare and replaced by Janine Wood.
A second television series was shown during the same months as the fourth radio series with, in many cases, both radio and television episodes being broadcast on the same nights.
The fourth television series was broadcast from July 1992, after the death of Joan Sanderson, who had died on 24 May.
The series is based upon a futuristic world where Japan has taken control of Earth politics and of the majority of human colonies on other worlds.
Human-kind has never managed to communicate with the creatures and only has their attacks to base what information is known about them on.
It's set in the 26th century and involves fringe-of-empire settlers breaking away from an overbearing Earth government dominated by the Japanese Empire ... which had the sense to grab the high ground of space when the U.S. abandoned it in the early 2000s.
The simple and humorous stories, with brightly coloured, boldly drawn illustrations, have been part of popular culture since 1971, with sales of over 85 million copies worldwide in 20 languages he hails from Cleckheaton West Yorkshire, specifically Gomersal where he lived in a street off Mill Lane now known as Summerdale.
Charles Roger Hargreaves was born in a private hospital at 201 Bath Road, Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire on 9 May 1935 to Alfred Reginald Hargreaves and Ethel Mary Hargreaves.
Initially he had difficulty finding a publisher, but once he did the books became an instant success, selling over one million copies within three years.
In 1981 the Little Miss series of books was launched, and in 1983 it also was made into a television series, narrated by Pauline Collins, and her husband John Alderton.
Although Hargreaves wrote many other children's stories—including the Timbuctoo series of 25 books, John Mouse and the Roundy and Squarey books—he is best known for his 46 Mr. Men and 33 Little Miss books.
Hargreaves died on 11 September 1988, at the age of 53, at the Kent and Sussex Hospital in Royal Tunbridge Wells, following a stroke.
Locals say that there was not enough room in the grave yard at Cowden Church, but that he'd already bought the adjacent field so that he, and others, could be laid to rest there.
After his death, his son Adam continued writing and drawing the Mr. Men and Little Miss characters with new stories (while signing the covers in his father's signature).
In April 2004, Hargreaves's widow Christine sold the rights to the Mr. Men characters to the UK entertainment group Chorion, for £28 million.
The first of the Mr. Men characters is reported to have been created when Adam, at age 6, asked his father what a tickle looked like.

Arthur Charles Wellesley, 4th Duke of Wellington, (15 March 1849 – 18 June 1934), styled Lord Arthur Wellesley from 1884 to 1900, was a British peer and politician, and a member of the well-known Wellesley family.
Wellesley's paternal grandparents included the famous Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, Catherine Pakenham and, on the maternal side, Henry Pierrepont, Lady Sophia Cecil.
To be selected as a member of the Household Division was a great honor, and consequently recipients received two ranks, one as a member of the Household Division and a second, higher rank, as a member of the armed forces.
He would later gain the rank of Lieutenant, in his regiment, and Captain, in the British Army, on 15 February 1871.
Wellesley succeeded to all of his brother's titles: Duke of Wellington, Prince of Waterloo, Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo, and Duke of Victoria.
He also inherited the London town-house, Apsley House, and the sprawling family estates of Stratfield Saye House, with over of land granted to the first duke by parliamentary purchase for military services.
The estate also included four advowsons; Wellesley had the duty, right, and obligation to select the chief clergyman of those parishes.
Wellesley died at Ewhurst Park (House), Basingstoke, Hampshire, on 18 June (Waterloo Day) 1934, aged eighty-five, and was buried three days later at Stratfield Saye House, Hampshire, the home conferred on the Dukes of Wellington.
His probate was sworn that year at ; a further grant was in 1936, for , all of which excluded underlying third-party family interests in entrusted land and any gifts before death.
He was appointed a Knight of the Order of the Garter (KG) in the 1902 Coronation Honours list published on 26 June 1902, and was invested by King Edward VII at Buckingham Palace on 8 August 1902.
He was also awarded the Spanish decoration of the Grand Cross of Charles III, and the Portuguese decoration of the Grand Cross of the Tower and Sword (GCTE), and the Prussian decorations of the Order of the Black Eagle and the Order of the Red Eagle.
On 24 October 1872, he married Kathleen Emily Bulkeley Williams, daughter of Captain Robert Griffith Williams (brother of Sir Richard Bulkeley Williams-Bulkeley, 10th Baronet) and wife Mary Anne Geale (daughter of Pears Geale, of Dublin).
The Duchy is a landed estate of approximately 46,000 acres (200 square kilometres) held in trust for the Sovereign since 1399.
The land is organised into the Lancashire Survey, the Yorkshire Survey, the Crewe Survey, the Nedwood Estate and the South Survey.
The Sovereign is not entitled to the Duchy's capital, but the net revenues of the Duchy are the property of the Sovereign in right of the Duchy of Lancaster.
While the income is private, the Queen uses the larger part of it to meet official expenses incurred by other members of the British Royal Family.
The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, who is the equivalent of the chairman of the trustees, has for the past several centuries always been a Government minister, although this is not a requirement.
His title is derived from the Privy Purse (an embroidered bag borne by the Keeper at a coronation) which contrasts with his Department's present-day use of computers and up-to-date accounting procedures.
In recent years the office of Keeper has been held jointly with that of Treasurer to the Queen, who is responsible for the use of the Civil List, funds used to meet official expenditure relating to the Queen's duties as Head of State.
He also oversees the grant-in-aid from the Royal Household for the maintenance of the occupied Royal Palaces and for Royal travel.
He is also responsible for the property maintenance of the Occupied Royal Palaces (such as Buckingham Palace and St James's Palace) and their gardens, for the financial aspects of Royal travel, for personnel matters in the Royal Household, for the Queen's private estates (which include Balmoral Castle and Sandringham House) and for the commercial activities of the Royal Collection Trust (for which annual accounts are published).
In the past, the United Kingdom's civil government day-to-day costs were paid for by the sovereign under normal circumstances, the monies in this Public Purse being raised from the income of the Crown Estate lands and holdings.
The system was to a large degree self-funding through the Crown's large holdings, taxes being applied only when necessary, and almost always at the risk of public outcry.
Taxes were normally very low, and the necessity to go to Parliament to fund wars was an effective check on the monarch's power.
As the role of the government increased in the 18th century, the Public Purse was increasingly unable to raise enough to fund the development of the country.
In 1760 when George III came to the throne, it was decided that the whole cost of civil government should be provided by Parliament, with the Crown surrendering most of the hereditary revenues (principally the net surplus of the Crown Estate) by the King for the duration of the reign.
In this new system Parliament was responsible for the finances of the UK, including paying the Crown the Civil List allowance to meet the Sovereign's official expenses.
In the fiscal year 2007/2008 the Crown Estate paid the Treasury £211.00 million in return for £7.9 million in Civil List payments to the Queen.
The player's Command Ship is now capable of attack; though slow, the Command Ship is capable of delivering a high amount of firepower, most notably the Siege Cannon capable of crippling an enemy Command Ship with a single well aimed shot.
Meanwhile, the Taiidan Empire has collapsed after years of civil war, and a new Taiidani Republic has arisen as an ally of the newly minted Hiigarans, while the Imperialists and their Turanic Raider allies continue to raid both Hiigaran and Republic space.
They then seek out the Nomad Moon, a Taiidani Republic battle station incorporating a powerful repulsor field; upon their arrival, they find that the station has already been infected by the Beast.
While the Kushan and Taiidan fleets remain almost identical to their Homeworld counterparts, the player's clan, Kiith Somtaaw, is forced to scratch its own fleet specs based on salvaged technologies.
The player's own ships are all new and superior to both Taiidan and Kushan counterparts and are only matched by the main adversary, the Beast and its own fleet (which is composed of assimilated Taiidan, Kushan, Somtaaw and Turanic Raider ships).

They were first transmitted to China during the early 5th century by the Buddhist monk Kumārajīva (344−413) in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
According to Sēngzhào, delusion arises through a dependent relationship between phenomenal things, naming, thought and reification and correct understanding lies outside of words and concepts.
He studied widely under various teachers, including the Madhyamaka master Seng-chuan (470-528) and eventually received an imperial decree to reside at Hsing Huang monastery in Ch'ien-k'ang, where he continued to give sermons on the Four Treatises for twenty five years.
The cure of the disease lies not so much in developing a new metaphysical theory as in understanding the proper nature and function of human conceptualization and language.
He insisted that one must never settle on any particular viewpoint or perspective but constantly reexamine one's formulations to avoid rectification of thought and behavior.
In, Chan (Zen), Nagarjuna is seen as one of the patriarchs of the school and thus its key figures such as Huineng must have been familiar with the four treatises.
(1871–1943) promoted Buddhist learning in China, and the general trend was for an increase in studies of Buddhist traditions such as Yogācāra, Madhyamaka, and the Huayan school.
The school was known in Japan as Sanron (三論宗) and was introduced around 625 by the Korean Goguryeo monk Hyegwan (Jp.
Ekan is also known for introducing the Jōjitsu (Satyasiddhi) school to Japan and the Satyasiddhi system was taught as a supplement, together with Madhyamaka, in Japanese Sanron.
During the Heian period, an important Sanron figure was master Chiko (709-781), whose commentary on the Heart Sutra became a classic work of Heian Buddhist scholarship and the most authoritative commentary on the Heart Sutra in the early Heian.
This commentary criticized the Hosso (Yogacara) school's interpretation of the Heart Sutra, promoted the Heart Sutra as a text of definitive meaning (nītārtha) while also drawing on the work of Jizang.
The range is mostly desert, but at higher altitudes receives around of precipitation annually — moist enough to allow the growth of shrubs and trees and support agriculture.
The area is about a 45-minute drive from Nizwa and is known for its traditional rose water extraction and agricultural products including pomegranates, walnuts, apricots, black grapes and peaches.
Agricultural production is improved by the use of Falaj irrigation channels and their associated terraces system devised by the local farmers, who have lived on this mountain for hundreds of years.
Between 1954 and 1959, the area became a site of the Jebel Akhdar War, a conflict between Omani forces loyal to the sultan of Oman (aided by British soldiers, including the Special Air Service) and Saudi Arabian-backed rebel forces of the inland Imamate of Oman.
In August 2011, Sultan Qaboos designated Jebel Akhdar a nature reserve in a bid to conserve its unique yet fragile biodiversity.
In the area, several important rock art sites, with figures dating back to 6000 years ago, have been discovered and studied.
Hiromi Uehara (上原 ひろみ, born 26 March 1979), known professionally as Hiromi, is a jazz composer and pianist born in Hamamatsu, Japan.
She is known for her virtuosic technique, energetic live performances and blend of musical genres such as stride, post-bop, progressive rock, classical and fusion in her compositions.
Hiromi started learning classical piano at the age of six, and was later introduced to jazz by her piano teacher Noriko Hikida.
When she was 17, she met Chick Corea by chance in Tokyo and was invited to play with him at his concert the next day.
After being a jingle writer for a few years for Japanese companies such as Nissan, she enrolled to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts.
She performed at the Newport Jazz Festival on August 8, 2009, and at the Paris Olympia in Paris on April 13, 2010, and toured in the summer of 2010 with the Stanley Clarke Band.
On October 19, 2006, the trio added guitarist David Fiuczynski in a performance at the Jazz Factory in Louisville, Kentucky, to form Hiromi's Sonicbloom.
In an interview published in 2010, Hiromi said she plays the Yamaha CFIII-S concert grand piano, Nord Lead 2, Clavia Nord Electro 2 73, Clavia Nord Stage Piano and Korg microKORG.
In 1948, shortly after the founding of the United Nations, there were 45 NGOs in Consultative Status, mostly large international organizations.
Currently there are 3900 NGOs in consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and some 400 NGOs accredited to the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD).
ECOSOC Resolution 1296 (XLIV) in 1968 had defined the criteria and rights associated with Consultative Status for almost forty years, during which time there was a substantial growth in the number of NGOs.
The primary impetus for the 1996 revision of the arrangements was the unprecedented level of NGO participation, especially from national NGOs, in the preparations for UNCED - the 1992 Earth Summit.
The criteria for NGO accreditation to Consultative Status have been revised several times, most recently in 1996 in ECOSOC Resolution 1996/31, following an extensive United Nations Open-Ended Working Group on the Review of Arrangements for Consultation with Non-Government Organizations.
1996/31 grants different rights for participation in ECOSOC and its subsidiary bodies - principally ECOSOC's Functional Commissions - including rights to United Nations passes, to speak at designated meetings, and to have documents translated and circulated as official UN documents - e.g.
The primary form of Roster Status, for NGOs with a focus on one or two of the areas of competence of ECOSOC.
There are special provisions in 1996/31, and before that in 1296 (XLIV) for the UN Secretary-General to recommend NGOs for the Roster.
Although not defined in 1996/31, a fourth category of NGOs accredited to the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) was established by ECOSOC decision 1996/302.
An NGO that wishes to obtain consultative status with the ECOSOC must first submit an application online at the NGO Branch of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the UN Secretariat.
Wellesley represented the Conservative Party as the Member of Parliament (MP) for South Hampshire from 1842 to 1852, and the MP for Windsor from 1852 to 1855.
When his older brother, Arthur Wellesley, 2nd Duke of Wellington, died in 1884 with no heirs, Lord Charles's second child, Henry Wellesley (as the oldest surviving son) inherited his uncle's dukedom as Duke of Wellington.
At sixteen he finished the expected grades and was admitted to the novitiate of the Society of Jesus in Trenčín, Slovakia, where he stayed for two years.
Later he studied philosophy in Graz, Austria and in 1725–1726 he lectured on the Elements of Grammar at the Jesuit Academy in Zagreb in Croatia.
In 1729, Konščak left for Cádiz in Spain, then went to North America, where he was active as a missionary on New Spain's Baja California Peninsula (today part of Mexico), from 1732 to the end of his life.
From 1748 he acted as the superior of the mission and later, in 1758, inspector of all missions in Baja California.
In June and July 1746 he was sent by sea to the head of the Gulf of California in order to investigate the disputed question of whether Baja California was an island.
The third expedition went up the western side of the peninsula, to around 30 degrees of latitude near Bahía San Luis Gonzaga.
On the basis of the data obtained, Konščak made a precise map of Baja California (1748) and a map of the Gulf of California (around 1750).
His diaries, after his death translated and reprinted into many languages, were published during his lifetime by Villa-Señor y Sanchez, Ortega-Balthasar, and Venegas-Buriel.
Homer Aschmann in 1966 and Damir Zorić in 2000 suggested that Konščak was the author of the second of these, while Miguel León-Portilla in 1988 suggested that he wrote the first.
Actors who do not want to be credited, or whose names would otherwise appear twice because they are playing more than one role in a production, may adopt a pseudonym.
Actors who are members of the AFL-CIO trade union of professional actors known as Actors' Equity Association, but are working under a non-union contract and wish to avoid the significant penalties ranging from substantial fines to revocation of union membership that could result from working under non-union contracts, also use pseudonyms.
The name can also be used when one actor is playing what appear to be two characters, but is later revealed as being one person with two names or identities.
Because of the pseudonym, the audience is not clued-in that the two seemingly separate characters are meant to be the same person.
A member of the production's orchestra, not wanting members of his church to find he was involved with such a risqué play, had his name credited as George Spelvin.
The name may also be used for a character who never delivers a line, and thus any member of the stage crew might be filling in the role.
For example, a person makes a delivery to a character onstage: the doorbell rings, the delivery is made, and the delivery carrier disappears, with no words spoken.
The second baseman often possesses quick hands and feet, needs the ability to get rid of the ball quickly, and must be able to make the pivot on a double play.
In addition, second basemen are usually right-handed; only four left-handed throwing players have ever played second base in Major League Baseball since 1950.
Good second basemen need to have very good range since they have to field balls closer to the first baseman who is often holding runners on, or moving towards the base to cover.
Due to these requirements, second base is sometimes a primarily defensive position in the modern game, but there are hitting stars as well.
The second baseman catches line drives or pop flies hit near him, and fields ground balls hit near him and then throws the ball to a base to force out a runner.
In this case, if the runner is to be forced out at second base then that base is covered by the shortstop.
With a runner on first base, on a ground ball to the shortstop or third baseman the second baseman will cover second base to force out the runner coming from first.
Moreover, if there are fewer than two outs he will attempt to turn the double play: that is, he will receive the throw from the other player with his foot on second base (to force out the runner coming from first base), and in one motion pivot toward first base and throw the ball there (to force out the batter before he gets there).
If a runner on first base attempts to steal second base, or if the pitcher attempts to pick off a runner already at second base, then either the second baseman or the shortstop will cover second base.
When performance offers dwindled, she worked in theater production as a choreographer, director, and lighting technician in a number of musicals, which led to underground film scene.
I was showing true life as it really was, including actual sex as it really happened, instead of the phony stuff that you got from Hollywood.
The stage name she adopted is a variation on George Spelvin, a name traditionally used as a pseudonym by stage actors for the second billing, when playing two roles.
Through her, Pierrepont is the maternal grandfather of Henry Wellesley, 3rd Duke of Wellington and Arthur Wellesley, 4th Duke of Wellington.
In computer science, a binary decision diagram (BDD) or branching program is a data structure that is used to represent a Boolean function.
Other data structures used to represent Boolean functions include negation normal form (NNF), Zhegalkin polynomials, and propositional directed acyclic graphs (PDAG).
A Boolean function can be represented as a rooted, directed, acyclic graph, which consists of several decision nodes and terminal nodes.
Each decision node formula_1 is labeled by Boolean variable formula_2 and has two child nodes called low child and high child.
In popular usage, the term BDD almost always refers to Reduced Ordered Binary Decision Diagram (ROBDD in the literature, used when the ordering and reduction aspects need to be emphasized).
A path from the root node to the 1-terminal represents a (possibly partial) variable assignment for which the represented Boolean function is true.
As the path descends to a low (or high) child from a node, then that node's variable is assigned to 0 (respectively 1).
In the tree on the left, the value of the function can be determined for a given variable assignment by following a path down the graph to a terminal.
In the figures below, dotted lines represent edges to a low child, while solid lines represent edges to a high child.
Therefore, to find (x1=0, x2=1, x3=1), begin at x1, traverse down the dotted line to x2 (since x1 has an assignment to 0), then down two solid lines (since x2 and x3 each have an assignment to one).
The full potential for efficient algorithms based on the data structure was investigated by Randal Bryant at Carnegie Mellon University: his key extensions were to use a fixed variable ordering (for canonical representation) and shared sub-graphs (for compression).
Adnan Darwiche and his collaborators have shown that BDDs are one of several normal forms for Boolean functions, each induced by a different combination of requirements.
Every arbitrary BDD (even if it is not reduced or ordered) can be directly implemented in hardware by replacing each node with a 2 to 1 multiplexer; each multiplexer can be directly implemented by a 4-LUT in a FPGA.
It is not so simple to convert from an arbitrary network of logic gates to a BDD (unlike the and-inverter graph).
In fact, the function computing the middle bit of the product of two formula_9-bit numbers does not have an OBDD smaller than formula_10 vertices.
The size of the minimal BDD can depend on the order in which variables are specified; thus for example, just reflecting rule 30 to give rule 86 yields {6, 11, 20, 36, 63}.
Researchers have suggested refinements on the BDD data structure giving way to a number of related graphs, such as BMD (binary moment diagrams), ZDD (zero-suppressed decision diagram), FDD (free binary decision diagrams), PDD (parity decision diagrams), and MTBDDs (multiple terminal BDDs).
However, repeating these operations several times, for example forming the conjunction or disjunction of a set of BDDs, may in the worst case result in an exponentially big BDD.
This is because any of the preceding operations for two BDDs may result in a BDD with a size proportional to the product of the BDDs' sizes, and consequently for several BDDs the size may be exponential.
Also, since constructing the BDD of a Boolean function solves the NP-complete Boolean satisfiability problem and the co-NP-complete tautology problem, constructing the BDD can take exponential time in the size of the Boolean formula even when the resulting BDD is small.
For general propositional formulas the problem is ♯P-complete and the known best algorithms require an exponential time in the worst case.
Chanco is a name traditionally assigned to an Indian who is said to have warned a Jamestown colonist, Richard Pace, about an impending Powhatan attack in 1622.
The Indian's warning to Richard Pace is described in the London Company's official account of the 1622 attack, but the Indian is not named.
Prospecting is a small-scale form of mineral exploration which is an organised, large scale effort undertaken by commercial mineral companies to find commercially viable ore deposits.
Prospecting is physical labour, involving traversing (traditionally on foot or on horseback), panning, sifting and outcrop investigation, looking for signs of mineralisation.
In some areas a prospector must also make claims, meaning they must erect posts with the appropriate placards on all four corners of a desired land they wish to prospect and register this claim before they may take samples.
The traditional methods of prospecting involved combing through the countryside, often through creek beds and along ridgelines and hilltops, often on hands and knees looking for signs of mineralisation in the outcrop.
In the case of gold, all streams in an area would be panned at the appropriate trap sites looking for a show of 'colour' or gold in the river trail.
For most base metal shows, the rock would have been mined by hand and crushed on site, the ore separated from the gangue by hand.
Often, these shows were short-lived, exhausted and abandoned quite soon, requiring the prospector to move onwards to the next and hopefully bigger and better show.
In most countries in the 19th and early 20th century, it was very unlikely that a prospector would retire rich even if he was the one who found the greatest of lodes.
For instance Patrick (Paddy) Hannan, who discovered the Golden Mile, Kalgoorlie, died without receiving anywhere near a fraction of the value of the gold contained in the lodes.
In all cases, the gold rush was sparked by idle prospecting for gold and minerals which, when the prospector was successful, generated 'gold fever' and saw a wave of prospectors comb the countryside.
Metal detectors are invaluable for gold prospectors, as they are quite effective at detecting gold nuggets within the soil down to around 1 metre (3 feet), depending on the acuity of the operator's hearing and skill.
Magnetic separators may be useful in separating the magnetic fraction of a heavy mineral sand from the nonmagnetic fraction, which may assist in the panning or sieving of gold from the soil or stream.
Prospecting pickaxes are used to scrape at rocks and minerals, obtaining small samples that can be tested for trace amounts of ore. Modern prospecting pickaxes are also sometimes equipped with magnets, to aid in the gathering of ferromagnetic ores.
In the 12th century Stratfield was owned by the Stoteville family, and then early in the 13th century this passed by marriage to the Saye family.
Before 1370 the manor passed on again by marriage to the Dabridgecourts, and in 1629 they sold the property to the Pitt family, cousins of the great father-and-son Prime Ministers.
The main part of the house was extensively enlarged around 1630 by Sir William Pitt, Comptroller of the Household to King James I.
Sir William's eldest son, Edward Pitt (1592-1643), MP, of Steepleton Iwerne, Dorset and later of Stratfield Saye, bought the estate for £4,800 in 1629.
Further extensive alterations were carried out to the house and park in the 18th century by George Pitt, 1st Baron Rivers.
The estate was purchased by the state in 1817, in order that it could be given by a grateful nation to the victorious Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington.
He originally planned to demolish the existing house, and replace it with a more prestigious home, to be known as Waterloo Palace.
The Duke abandoned these plans in 1821 when they proved to be too expensive, and subsequently made numerous additions and improvements to the existing building.
The Duke's cast bronze funeral carriage, made from melted-down French cannons captured at the Battle of Waterloo, was moved to Stratfield Saye in the 1980s.
The languages are spoken across a continuous region encompassing the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland as well as the former East Germany and the westernmost regions of Ukraine and Belarus (and into Lithuania).
The West Slavic languages are all written using Latin script, in contrast to the Cyrillic-using East Slavic branch, and the South Slavic which uses both.
The early Slavic expansion reached Central Europe in c. the 7th century, and the West Slavic dialects diverged from Common Slavic over the following centuries.
The Sorbs and other Polabian Slavs like Obodrites and Veleti came under the domination of the Holy Roman Empire and were strongly Germanized.
The central Polish tribe of the Polans established their own state – the Duchy of Poland – in the 10th century under Duke Mieszko I; this later became a kingdom in 1025 (see: Kingdom of Poland (1025–1385)).
The Bohemians established the Duchy of Bohemia in the 9th century, which was incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire in the early 11th century.
At the end of the 12th century the duchy was raised to the status of kingdom, which was legally recognised in 1212 in the Golden Bull of Sicily.
Lusatia, the homeland of the remaining Sorbs, became a crown land of Bohemia in the 11th century, and Silesia followed suit in 1335.
The Slovaks, on the other hand, never became part of the Holy Roman Empire, being incorporated into the Kingdom of Hungary.
Hungary fell under Habsburg rule alongside Austria and Bohemia in the 16th century, thus uniting the Bohemians, Moravians, Slovaks, and Silesians under a single ruler.
While Lusatia was lost to Saxony in 1635 and most of Silesia was lost to Prussia in 1740, the remaining West Slavic Habsburg dominions remained part of the Austrian Empire and then Austria-Hungary, and after that remained united until 1992 in the form of Czechoslovakia.
The town is situated in the western part of the Lubusz Lake District and Torzymska Plain (315.43), in the longitudinal postglacial valley, in the historical region of Lubusz Land.
The Ilanka river, which is the right-bank tributary of the Oder river, flows through the town and takes the tributary Rzepin to the south of the town, near Nowy Młyn.
Among the Ilanka's hydrological curiosities is the phenomenon of bifurcation, occurring to the north of Rzepin, where the river separates its stream.
Rzepin surroundings is rich in glacial lakes, among others: Busko, Długie- local bathing beach, Głębiniec, Linie, Lubińskie, Oczko, Papienko (Popienko) and Rzepsko.
In 1856 Berghaus investigated the town name origin of words: repina (a folk name of maple), rjepa (turnip), or rjepnik (field of turnip).
According to Mucke, the name could originate from the word ryby (fish) – Rybin, Rybek, Rybno – fisherman's colony (town located by the riverside).
Current Polish etymology (according to Rospond, Rymut and Malec) clearly indicates a nickname Rzepa (Polish name of turnip), or the name of turnip itself, as the town name origin.
The town was founded in the place of a 10th-century fort and a craftsmen settlement outside the fort, which was located near a convenient crossing of the Ilanka river.
It was located in Lubusz Land, which was part of the provinces of Greater Poland and Silesia of the Medieval Kingdom of Poland.
Thanks to the citizens’ resourcefulness and valor the town was developing rapidly, however, it was hindered by plagues and other disasters, including numerous fires.
From the 18th century the town was part of the Kingdom of Prussia and between 1871 and 1945 it was part of Germany, before becoming again part of Poland.
The oldest record about Rzepin dates back to 1297 and it regards the presence of pleban de Repin (Repin's parson) Iacobus Craft at a ceremony of granting the village of Wystok to the Paradyż monastery.
In 14th and 15th century the town was defined with a ‘New’ suffix, which could signify its new location or new town charter: 28 July 1329 - Newen Reppin, 1335 – Nyen Rypin, 1441 – Nyen Reppen.
The grad was possibly transferred into a more convenient place because the remains of an earlier grad upon the Ilanka river, between Tarnawa Rzepińska and Starościn, survived until our times.
The names Reppin or Reppen appear in the German literature, while Rypin or Rzepin can be found in the Polish sources.
After World War II, during a short period of time, the town was called Rypin Lubuski, whereas since the late 1940s the current form has been used.
The shape of the medieval Rzepin resembled a rectangle 300 x 400 m. The town layout revealed three parallel streets, that were crossing the town longitudinally and transversely, distinguishing the medieval marketplace.
The Old Town, with high – density housing, is located on the right bank of the Ilanka, whereas from the remaining sides it was surrounded by a ditch (town moat), which was subsequently filled back in due to the negative influence of the humid microclimate.
Rzepin was given ownership of the adjacent forests before 14th century, which was confiscated in 1553 because of the wrongly laid tax by the town authorities.
High population of game animals in the region was confirmed by the presence of two royal forests in the vicinity of Rzepin.
Forest district administration and the still working forest lodge of Dąbrówka, also known as Osęka (currently a part of the Rzepinek settlement), were established in the 18th Century.
Currently the term Rzepin Forest should only be treated in historical context, or to some extent, as an equivalent of the Lubusz Forest, which is a vast woodland situated mostly in the vicinity of Rzepin and Torzym in the Lubusz Voivodeship.
This is a list of postal codes in Canada where the first letter is H. Postal codes beginning with H are located within the Canadian province of Quebec.
Canada Post provides a free postal code look-up tool on its website, via its mobile apps for such smartphones as the iPhone and BlackBerry, and sells hard-copy directories and CD-ROMs.

Relic Entertainment (known as THQ Canada Inc. between 2004 and 2013) is a Canadian video game developer based in Vancouver, founded in 1997.
Relic was founded in May 1997 by Alex Garden, Luke Moloney, Erin Daly, Aaron Kambeitz, Rob Cunningham, Gary Shaw, and Shane Alfreds.
Although it boasted improved graphics and features and changed some elements of gameplay from the original, reviews cited some issues and did not score it as highly as its predecessor.
On April 27, 2004, publisher THQ announced it was acquiring Relic for close to in an all-cash transaction, completed around early May, 2004.
The expansion added a fifth race, the Imperial Guard, to the game, as well as giving the existing races several new units.
The engine, which had been designed in-house by Relic, featured many next-generation graphical effects, including HDR and dynamic lighting, as well as utilizing the Havok middleware physics engine.
Finally, following the discovery of a document on the United States Patent and Trademark Office's electronic filing system by a fan, THQ confirmed that Relic indeed owns the trademark again, making a continuation of the series under THQ's lead possible.
It was released for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on September 6, 2011, in North America and September 9, 2011, in Europe.
In this sequel the game moves the battle away from the Western Front of World War II and refocuses on the Eastern Front.
On January 23, 2013, it was revealed that THQ had sold Relic Entertainment to Sega for as part of an auction of the company's properties.
Hello Cheeky is a comedy series starring Barry Cryer, John Junkin and Tim Brooke-Taylor, broadcast on BBC Radio 2 between 1973 and 1979, and also broadcast on television - on the ITV network - in 1976.
Its three stars were normally the only performers who appeared, although the show's musical director, Denis King, was often given a small speaking role in one or two of the shorter items.
The radio series featured music by the Denis King Trio, and was produced initially by David Hatch, then by Richard Willcox, and thereafter by Bob Oliver Rogers.
From series 2 it was transmitted at lunchtime on Sundays, a more natural home for comedy shows, which had traditionally occupied that spot in the station's schedules since the heyday of the old BBC Light Programme in the early 1960s.
A number of the items that were used had previously been recorded by Marty Feldman (who John Junkin and Tim Brooke-Taylor had known since working together on television in 1968).
The final item each week, which was typically the longest item in the show, often featured a comic amalgam of three ostensibly serious broadcasts (e.g.
In later series the celebrities who were the butt of the jokes were invited onto the show, to be lampooned to their faces.
Famous stars of the day who put themselves through this treatment included chat show host Michael Aspel, BBC TV sports presenter Frank Bough, and radio DJ Terry Wogan.
From the two-hour show, 45 minutes of material was released on a vinyl LP, while two 30-minute radio shows containing material from this recording session were broadcast on 25 January and 1 February 1976 as the final editions of the third series.
They did not reflect the standard format, and were in the main a collection of unrelated musical items interspersed with occasional jokes; the Christmas shows did not even have a preference for seasonal pieces.
The Specials were also much longer than the standard half-hour of the regular episodes: the Summer Special was one hour, while the Christmas specials varied - the 1973 Christmas show was also one hour, while in 1974 it was 90 minutes.
After the completion of four successful series for radio, plus the six Specials, a combination of unfortunate events occurred which curtailed what had been a popular and successful show.
Firstly, a dispute arose with BBC Management, concerning the cast's decision to defect to ITV, to make a TV version of the show.
Former producer David Hatch was brought in to put together a final half-dozen episodes, from material already in the can, for a truncated final series: which was only transmitted after more than three years had elapsed since the previous series.
With the exception of the two specials recorded on 6 April 1975, all of the radio broadcasts are known to exist (at least as off-air recordings).
It was made by Yorkshire Television, with Len Lurcuck as producer, and ex-BBC comedy producer Duncan Wood as its executive producer.
A second series, comprising a further five episodes, was broadcast later that year, between 26 May and 23 June: the timing was a deliberate attempt to benefit from the popularity of the radio show, the latest series of which ran throughout that summer.
The reason for this was considered to be the fact that no attempt was made to make the material more visual for television.
The two TV series (except for Episode 10, which no longer exists in the archive) were released on DVD by Network in June 2010.
The Barbara Stanwyck Show is an American anthology drama television series which ran on NBC from September 1960 to September 1961.
E1 Entertainment, formerly known as Koch Vision, and The Archive of American Television released Volume 1 of the series on DVD in the United States on October 13, 2009.
when they receive information about the commission of a cognizable offence, or in Singapore when the police receives information about any criminal offence.
It generally stems from a complaint lodged with the police by the victim of a cognizable offense or by someone on his or her behalf, but anyone can make such a report either orally or in writing to the police.
Barnaby Jones is a television detective series starring Buddy Ebsen and Lee Meriwether as a father and daughter-in-law who run a private detective firm in Los Angeles, California.
Halfway through the series run, Mark Shera was added to the cast as the cousin of Ebsen's character, who joins the firm.
After Barnaby Jones (Buddy Ebsen) had worked as a private eye for many years, he decided to retire and left the business to his son Hal.
He had come to try to solve the murder of his father but stayed around to help Barnaby and Betty, while also attending law school.
As Ebsen aged and expressed an interest in slowing down a bit, Meriwether's and Shera's characters became more prominent, allowing Ebsen to reduce his role.
During the last two seasons, episodes were divided evenly among the three actors, with Ebsen, Meriwether and Shera each being the focus of a third of the season's episodes.
Respected and loved in his own country as a man of great wisdom, he was also instrumental in establishing Theravada Buddhism in the West.
Beginning in 1979 with the founding of Cittaviveka (commonly known as Chithurst Buddhist Monastery) in the United Kingdom, the Forest Tradition of Ajahn Chah has spread throughout Europe, the United States and the British Commonwealth.
As is traditional, Ajahn Chah entered the monastery as a novice at the age of nine, where, during a three-year stay, he learned to read and write.
He left the monastery to help his family on the farm, but later returned to monastic life on 16 April 1939, seeking ordination as a Theravadan monk (or bhikkhu).
During the early part of the twentieth century Theravada Buddhism underwent a revival in Thailand under the leadership of outstanding teachers whose intentions were to raise the standards of Buddhist practise throughout the country.
The monks of this tradition keep very strictly to the original monastic rule laid down by the Buddha known as the vinaya.
The early major schisms in the Buddhist sangha were largely due to disagreements over how strictly the training rules should be applied.
Some opted for a degree of flexibility (some would argue liberality), whereas others took a conservative view believing that the rules should be kept just as the Buddha had framed them.
An example of the strictness of the discipline might be the rule regarding eating: they uphold the rule to only eat between dawn and noon.
In the Thai Forest Tradition, monks and nuns go further and observe the 'one eaters practice', whereby they only eat one meal during the morning.
This special practice is one of the thirteen dhutanga, optional ascetic practices permitted by the Buddha that are used on an occasional or regular basis to deepen meditation practice and promote contentment with subsistence.
Wat Nong Pah Pong includes over 250 branches throughout Thailand, as well as over 15 associated monasteries and ten lay practice centers around the world.
Wat Pah Nanachat was the first monastery in Thailand specifically geared towards training English-speaking Westerners in the monastic Vinaya, as well as the first run by a Westerner.
In 1977, Ajahn Chah and Ajahn Sumedho were invited to visit the United Kingdom by the English Sangha Trust who wanted to form a residential sangha.
1979 saw the founding of Cittaviveka (commonly known as Chithurst Buddhist Monastery due to its location in the small hamlet of Chithurst) with Ajahn Sumedho as its head.
Ajahn Chah would remain bedridden and ultimately unable to speak for ten years, until his death on January 16, 1992, at the age of 73.
Cannon's clients in the series varied widely, and the variation in clients led to considerable variation in the formats of the episodes.
Other episodes involved Cannon being hired by a police detective, a former lover, a parent concerned about a missing child, and a child concerned about a parent.
In the first season, Martin Sheen appeared twice as ex-policeman Jerry Warton, but the character did not extend beyond the first year—in fact, in the third season, Sheen guest starred as a lawyer who murdered Cannon's client.
Frank Cannon met Barnaby Jones (Buddy Ebsen), an aging veteran private investigator who had retired and turned over his agency to his son, Hal, when Hal is killed.
On March 18, 2016, VEI re-released the first season on DVD and on April 1, 2016, they re-released the second season.
A series of nine tie-in novels were published in the 1970s by Lancer/Magnum in the United States and Triphammer/Corgi in the United Kingdom.
In the skit, Hill played several staple characters of the genre: Frank Cannon, Robert Ironside, Theo Kojak, Sam McCloud (ironically, all bar the latter were airing on BBC1 at the time rather than on Hill's home of ITV) and, although he was not a part of the genre, Agatha Christie's Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot.

Bat Masterson is an American Western television series which was a fictionalized account of the life of real-life marshal/gambler/dandy Bat Masterson.
The series had a tongue-in-cheek flair, with Barry's Masterson often dressed in expensive Eastern clothing and preferring to use his cane rather than a gun to get himself out of trouble.
When dressed more casually in episodes centered on outdoor action, Masterson would sometimes wear an identical but gray derby in place of the black one.
According to BMI and the sheet music, the theme music was written by Havens Wray (although incorrectly spelled by BMI as Ravens Wray).
However it was likely written by David Rose, an ASCAP member who couldn't use his own name for a BMI composition.
Columbia Features syndicated a comic strip from September 7, 1959 to April 1960 written by Ed Herron and drawn by Howard Nostrand (Sept. 1959–Dec.
Nostrand was assisted (on backgrounds) by Neal Adams who had just graduated from the School of Industrial Arts; it was among his first professional art jobs.
The show starred Gene Barry as millionaire captain of Los Angeles Police homicide division Amos Burke, who is chauffeured around to solve crimes in his 1962 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II.
The anomaly of a millionaire police captain is explained in a first episode' conversation between Detective Tim Tilson and a potential witness.
with the name or description of the victim (who invariably dies or is found dead in the show's opening minutes) completing it.
Burke is an eligible bachelor whose dates with various gorgeous women are often interrupted by calls to begin a new case.
He can be - though rarely - distracted by an alluring woman, and is often the object of much female interest.
Burke is assisted by Detective Tim Tilson (Gary Conway), Detective Sergeant Les Hart (Regis Toomey), and chauffeur Henry (Philippine actor Leon Lontoc).
Tilson is a brilliant, thorough, Gung-ho young detective whose skill at finding clues and tracing references result in his 'almost' solving the crime, only to be outflanked by Burke's cool intuition and years of experience.
Les Hart is a no-nonsense, seen-it-all veteran (perhaps a nod to Toomey's numerous roles as cops in feature films) who has known Burke for years, while Henry often provides comic relief.
As in the later series, the episode features several well-known TV and movie stars in cameo appearances as suspects – one of whom is the murderer (in the original Dick Powell episode Ronald Reagan played one of the suspects).
Burke went to work for a secret government agency, but still drove around in his Rolls, which had been discreetly bulletproofed by the agency.
The new show was not a success and only 17 episodes were broadcast instead of the 32 of the first two seasons.
In the 1994 version, Burke was back at work as a police detective, though now as a deputy chief instead of a captain, and was assisted by his son, Peter (Peter Barton).
Barry Allen Darsow (born October 6, 1959) is an American retired professional wrestler who performs as Smash, one half of the tag team Demolition.
Throughout his career he worked for Jim Crockett Promotions, the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and several regional promotions in the 1980s and 1990s.
Darsow attended high school in Robbinsdale, Minnesota with six other future wrestlers: Curt Hennig, Richard Rood (Rick Rude), Brady Boone, Tom Zenk, John Nord (The Berzerker), and Scott Simpson (Nikita Koloff).
He returned to Hawaii, before he began wrestling in 1983 in Georgia for Georgia Championship Wrestling before moving later that year to Mid-South Wrestling as Crusher Darsow, a turncoat American who was now a Soviet sympathizer and a tag team partner of Nikolai Volkoff.
He changed his name to Krusher Khruschev and won the first ever Mid-South Television Title in a tournament by beating Terry Taylor in the finals on May 2, 1984 but lost it to Taylor on June 16, 1984.
He was awarded a third of the NWA World Six-Man Tag Team Championship with Ivan and Nikita Koloff after they fell out with their former partner Don Kernodle.
The Koloffs had already won the NWA World Tag Team Championship and Ivan declared that any two of them could defend the titles.
At Starrcade 1985, on November 28, Khruschev won the vacant NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship by defeating Sam Houston Later on that night, he was in the Koloffs' corner as they lost their Tag titles back to the Express in a cage match with Kernodle in the Express's corner.
After helping Nikita defeat Magnum, Khruschev and Ivan targeted the new NWA United States Tag Team Championship, which was to be awarded to the winners of a tournament.
They reached the finals, held on September 26, 1986, and defeated the Kansas Jayhawks (Dutch Mantel and Bobby Jaggers) with Nikita's help to become the first US Tag Team Champions.
had a car accident that ended his career, and after admitting that he respected his one-time rival, Nikita turned his back on Ivan and Khruschev to team with Magnum's good friend, Dusty Rhodes.
He was brought into the company to be part of the tag team Demolition, which had originally consisted of Bill Eadie as Ax and Randy Colley, who had been Moondog Rex of The Moondogs, as Smash.
Their initial feuds involved the team of Ken Patera and Billy Jack Haynes, and Strike Force (Tito Santana and Rick Martel).
On March 27, 1988 at WrestleMania IV, they defeated Strike Force to win their first WWF World tag team title, which they held for a record 16 months.
During this reign, they fell out with Mr. Fuji as he turned on them to manage their arch-rivals, The Powers of Pain (The Barbarian and The Warlord).
Originally, they were the heels in their rivalry with the Powers of Pain; however, as a result of the incident at the Survivor Series, Demolition became full-fledged babyfaces.
Demolition conclusively won the feud with their ex-manager and his new team when they defeated the Powers and Fuji in a five-man handicap tag match at WrestleMania V.
They regained the title on October 2, but lost them to The Colossal Connection (Haku and André the Giant) on December 13.
They defeated the Connection at WrestleMania VI on April 1, 1990 to become the third full-time team to win three titles in WWF history.
The duo was joined by Crush (Brian Adams) later in 1990, making them a 3-man tag team and the second team Darsow had been involved in whose title reign operated under the Freebird Rule.
After a feud with Legion of Doom, the team dropped down the card and would disband in the spring of 1991, with Crush leaving the WWF for a year and Smash wrestling as a singles wrestler, primarily in house show undercards, where he was used to elevate other stars, such as Kerry Von Erich, Greg Valentine and Ricky Steamboat.
In late 1991, Darsow was repackaged as Repo Man, a ubiquitous, sneaky heel character who delighted in repossessing items such as cars from people when they were late on (or unable to make) their payments.
As Repo Man, Darsow wore a black domino mask (similar to The Lone Ranger and Zorro) and an outfit decorated with tire tracks, and had mannerisms similar to Frank Gorshin's portrayal of The Riddler.
He always carried a tow rope that he would tie up opponents with after defeating them and then assault them after.
Shortly after his debut, he was hired by Ted DiBiase to help him defeat Virgil for the Million Dollar Championship, leading to a series of matches with Virgil.
He also appeared at WrestleMania VIII, teaming with The Mountie and The Nasty Boys to be defeated by The Big Boss Man, Virgil, Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Sgt.
Repo Man lost a match to former partner Crush at SummerSlam, though it was never acknowledged on television that Repo Man was actually Smash.
In 1993, Darsow joined the IAW promotion where he teamed with Paul Roma to win the IAW Tag Team titles on February 4, 1993 (while he was still on the WWF roster).
Darsow went to WCW in 1994 where he was always seen in the front row with a blow horn making noise and berating the faces while they wrestled, and also kicked out of arenas by security.
He often entered the ring in casual wear and a flat cap as if ready to golf and, prior to matches, would offer his opponents a victory if they could make a putt in the ring, often only to sneak attack the opponent.
Due to the blow to the head, in the following weeks, Darsow took on an amnesia gimmick, wherein he would reprise a different one of his past gimmicks every week.
On October 2, 1999, he returned to his Blacktop Bully gimmick, which he used for the remainder of his time in WCW.
The Millennium Wrestling Federation (MWF) helped reunite Darsow with his partner Ax as Demolition and the two appeared at the Wrestling Living Legend's reunion in Windsor, Ontario, Canada in March 2007.
Where they defeated Tag Team Champions Shawn Blanchard and Lou Martin for the KSWA Tag Team Championship, which they would hold for that match only before relinquishing them due to not being able to return for further shows.
Their match against Tony DeVito and Ralph Mosco went to a no contest when local commentator and manager Larry Dallas came out and said his men wanted revenge.
Demolition returned to Chikara on September 16, 2012, taking part in a tag team gauntlet match, from which they eliminated The Devastation Corporation (Blaster McMassive and Max Smashmaster), before being eliminated themselves by their old WWF rivals, the Powers of Pain.
He was also good friends with Curt Hennig, Rick Rude (both of whom he attended high school with), Brady Boone, Dino Bravo, and Brian Adams.
At one match in 2007, at the pay-per-view taping for Driven, against Takeshi Morishima, Pearce pulled a mask similar to the Repo Man's out of his tights and put it on to the delight of the crowd.
In July 2016, Darsow was named part of a class action lawsuit filed against WWE which alleged that wrestlers incurred traumatic brain injuries during their tenure and that the company concealed the risks of injury.
Angelfish was a short-lived early-1990s Scottish alternative rock group originating from Edinburgh, Scotland, formed as a side-project to Scottish group Goodbye Mr Mackenzie, after keyboardist and backing vocalist Shirley Manson was signed as a solo artist to circumvent the Mackenzies' existing record contract.
Montrose is an unincorporated community on the border between Bath Township, Copley Township, and the city of Fairlawn in Summit County, Ohio, United States.
It had been a quiet hamlet for much of its history, with such establishments as a drive-in theater, golf courses and a church.
The current Dean is Don Young, a Republican Party representative from Alaska who has served since 1973, and is the first Republican Dean in more than eighty years, as well as the first from Alaska.
The Dean is a symbolic post whose only customary duty is to swear in a Speaker of the House after he or she is elected.
The Dean comes forward on the House Floor to administer the oath to the Speaker-elect, before the new Speaker then administers the oath to the other members.
While the Dean does swear in newly elected Speakers, he or she does not preside over the election of a Speaker, as do the Father of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom and the Dean of the Canadian House of Commons.
Because of other privileges associated with seniority, the Dean is usually allotted some of the most desirable office space, and is generally either chair or ranking minority member of an influential committee.
It is unclear when the position first achieved concrete recognition, though the seniority system and increasing lengths of service emerged in the early 20th century.
When Ed Markey broke Gillett's record for time in the House before moving to the Senate in 2013 he was still decades junior to the sitting Dean.
In the 1952 election, Adolph J. Sabath became the first Representative elected to a 24th term, breaking the record of 23 terms first set by former Speaker Joseph Gurney Cannon, whose service had been discontinuous, whereas Sabath's was not.
North Carolina's Robert L. Doughton had not contested that election as he was retiring at the age of 89 years and two months, a House age record broken in 1998 by Sidney R. Yates, and again by Ralph Hall in 2012.
Claude Pepper, who died early in his final term in 1989, held the record for oldest winner of a House election until Hall broke it in 2012.
However, Sabath died before the new term began and Doughton was Dean for the old term's final months before Speaker Sam Rayburn became Dean in the new Congress.
In 1994, Texas Democrat Jack Brooks was defeated by Steve Stockman in the year he was expected to succeed Jamie Whitten as Dean.
All the members of the First Congress had equal seniority (as defined for the purpose of this article), but Muhlenberg, as the Speaker, was the first member to be sworn in.
Muhlenberg, Hartley and Thatcher were among the 13 members who attended the initial meeting of the House on March 4, 1789.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries some state delegations to the House were often not elected until after the term had begun.
Ellis is well known for sociocultural commentary, both through his online presence and through his writing, which covers transhumanist (most notably nanotechnology, cryonics, mind transfer, and human enhancement) and folkloric themes, often in combination with each other.
Before starting his career as a writer, he ran a bookstore, ran a pub, worked in bankruptcy, worked in a record shop, and lifted compost bags for a living.
He also did some work on the Marvel 2099 imprint, most notably in a storyline in which a futuristic Doctor Doom took over the United States.
He wrote issues 37–50 with artist Tom Raney, and the 11 issues of volume two with artists Oscar Jimenez and Bryan Hitch.
The creator-owned science-fiction series follows the members of a think tank given the task of improving the future, who deal with mistakes made after trying to prevent human innovation from dying off.
Ellis launched a new ongoing comics series featuring James Bond in November 2015, published by Dynamite Entertainment in partnership with Ian Fleming Publications, and illustrated by James Masters.
Though Ellis has left open the possibility of expanding the book past six issues, he said he is focused finishing the story as planned first.
Despite rarely returning to his early work, in October 2016, DC Comics announced a relaunch of the WildStorm publishing line as a new imprint curated by Ellis.
The series begins a complete reboot of the WildStorm Universe, with Ellis saying his goal is for the imprint to be new reader-friendly.
Set to be published by Line Webtoon in 2017, the 26-issue weekly series follows a middle-aged female detective working a murder mystery.
The series followed a television network executive who discovers the existence of aliens and decides to turn the discovery into a reality show.
Several more attempts to bring the limited series to television include writers Scott Nimerfro in 2009, and Rockne S. O’Bannon in 2014, though none have materialized.
In his first talk, titled Our Hopeless Future and Other Comedy, he discussed the power of Twitter and how it can 'break' other people's websites.
In the second, Thinking Differently, he explored how the internet revolution is changing people's lives and asked whether it is changing how people think.
A festival regular, he has returned in subsequent years to debate the risks and rewards of artificial intelligence with physicist Stephen Hawking and collaborator Roger Penrose.
Beat the Clock is a television game show that involves people trying to complete challenges to win prizes while faced with a time limit.
The program has been revived several times over the years, the most recent revival premiered on Universal Kids on February 6, 2018.
Substitute hosts on the original version included Bill Hart (1951), John Reed King (1952), stunt creator Frank Wayne (1953), Bob Kennedy (1954), Win Elliot (1955), and Sonny Fox, who became Collyer's permanent substitute from 1957 to 1960.
Bentley's departure in 1956 coincided with Hazel Bishop's sponsorship and a period of having no main assistant (see production changes below).
Over 20,000 viewers participated, and winner Edward Darnell, of Columbus, Indiana, was flown in to appear with Bennett on the December 2, 1957, show.
Collyer would ask them general questions (usually including where they were from and how long they'd been married) and usually asked if they had children, their ages and genders.
Collyer usually would talk to the children, asking them what they wanted to be when they grew up, or, if the kids were not at the show, to have their parents wave to them on TV.
Collyer would often ask the husband to take off his coat for stunts to make it less cumbersome (there were hooks on the contestants' podium) or Collyer would hold the coat.
The women's jumpsuits, unlike the men's, which were rather plain, were patterned to look like a pair of overalls with a collared blouse underneath.
One couple competed against the clock to win a prize in stunts that required one or both members of the couple.
At one point Collyer said that a 55-second time limit was the maximum, but later on, stunts occasionally had 60-second limits.
On the primetime version, if the couple beat the $200 clock, the wife would play the jackpot clock in which the words of a famous saying or quote were scrambled up on a magnetic board and that phrase had to be unscrambled in 20 seconds or less.
Occasionally, when the wife of the couple did not speak English very well, the husband was allowed to perform the jackpot clock.
The outer ring would light during the $100 clock, the middle ring for the $200 clock, and the center circle would light during the jackpot clock.
The couple playing at the time would attempt the Bonus Stunt for the Bonus Prize that started at $100 in cash.
When it was beaten, it was retired from the show and a new Bonus Stunt began the next week at $100.
The bonus (as the name suggests) did not affect the regular game, and win or lose the couple continued the regular clocks wherever they left off.
Bonus Stunts were harder than the usual $100 and $200 clocks and sometimes reached $2,000 and even $3,000 on rare occasions.
There was usually a special technique for performing the stunt that had to be figured out, but even then, the stunt was usually difficult enough to require some skill or luck once the technique was realized.
Viewers would usually try to figure it out and after a few weeks on the air viewers would often get it (sometimes Collyer would remark that viewers had been writing in and he would give certain dimensions of the props used so viewers could try to figure it out at home).
Usually either contestants themselves would start appearing on the show with the technique in mind, or audience members would shout it out to try to help them.
A stunt would usually take a few weeks before the audience realized the technique, and then a few more weeks before someone was able to properly employ it.
Ultimately the plan was unsuccessful as the ratings never did improve much, perhaps leading to the end of the Super Bonus.
Starting on February 25, 1956, after the last regular Bonus Stunt had been won, it was replaced by the super bonus which started at $10,000 and went up by $1,000 every time a couple failed to beat the clock.
Probably realizing that seeing the same stunt a few times in a row was a bit boring, they moved the Super Bonus right after the $200 clock and before the jackpot clock on March 17, dropping the Longines timer.
Partway through the run of the second Super Bonus, a rolling desk/table with dollar value of the bonus printed on it was used to roll out the props for the stunt.
It is notable that in the earliest surviving episodes from 1952 that air, the original bonus had a similar desk with the value of the bonus on it.
A lucky couple had a chance to win a bundle of cash and their choice of a new car or boat.
Like the original Bonus Stunt, the cash value started at $100, going up each time the stunt was not successfully completed.
The stunts would usually be constructed out of common household props such as cardboard boxes, string, balloons, record players, dishes, cups, plates, cutlery, and balls of almost every type.
Contestants often had to balance something with some part of their body, or race back and forth on the stage (for example, releasing a balloon, running across the stage to do some task, and running back in time to catch the balloon before it floated too high).
Common twists included blindfolding one or both contestants, or telling them they could not use their hands (or feet or any body part that would be obvious to use for whatever the task was).
The other common element in the stunts was to get one of the contestants messy in some way often involving whipped cream, pancake batter, and such (usually limited to the husband of the couple).
Many times the wife would be shown a task, be blindfolded, and then her husband would be quietly brought out and unknown to her she would be covering him with some sort of mess.
Collyer would often stop the clock in the middle of a stunt if the contestant(s) was struggling so he advised them on a better way to do the stunt.
If the time limit was nearly up on a task, he would often give them a few moments extra, or tell them if they started before the clock ran out and succeeded in that attempt, he would count it.
Sometimes if a contestant had come close enough (for example, if they had to stack cups and saucers without the pile falling over, and the contestant knocked the pile over while putting the last cup on top), he would give them the stunt if they did not have time to do it again.
If there was a problem with a prop breaking or running out of a supply, such as balloons, Collyer would simply give the stunt to the couple, citing it as the show's fault.
Similarly, on the messy stunts, since the goal was just to mess up the husband, the time limit was often unimportant and the clock would be stopped when Bud felt the husband was messy enough.
During Sylvania's tenure as sponsor (which began in March 1951), consolation prizes for losing the $100 clock were usually a Sylvania radio.
The sets, as was the style at the time, were freestanding pieces of furniture that sat on legs on the floor with a speaker mounted below the screen.
Various models were given away over the years—sometimes the same model several times in one episode, sometimes a different model each time the Jackpot was won in an episode.
Roxanne (later Beverly) would pose with the TV which was revealed from behind a curtain in a small faux living room.
When it was novel, Collyer would open the box and explain that it would be fun for not just children but adults at parties, and he would point out the working clock and the instructions for stunts and all the props.
Starting on September 6, 1952, girls brought on the show were given a Roxanne doll that was produced at the time.
Initially it wasn't made clear how the couple would get the photo (perhaps mailed to them), but later in the run, the camera would be given to the couple in addition to any their children might already have been given.
For the first season (1969–1970), the show was taped at The Little Theatre on Broadway in New York City, sharing the stage with The Merv Griffin Show and The David Frost Show.
Jack Narz hosted the first three seasons of the series before leaving and his announcer, Gene Wood, replaced him for the remainder of the run.
In addition, if a couple completed a stunt in less than half the time, the remaining time would be used for awarding a cash bonus.
Towards the end of Narz' tenure as host, stunts would be replaced in the second half of the show with the celebrity playing a game of intuition with the couples, who would play for a cash prize that was divided among them.
Narz had to pay for his travel, and the cost of airline fare between his Los Angeles home and Montreal became prohibitive.
His travel costs were essentially equal to his earnings, and even a successful appeal to Mark Goodson for more money was not enough.
CFCF-TV Montreal staff announcer Nick Holenreich became the show's announcer (he had previously announced for a week during Narz's final season in which Wood was the celebrity guest).
The only changes in the format were that couples were introduced separately and played two stunts, win or lose (a win still getting a trip to the Cash Board), and both couples competed simultaneously in a final stunt, with the winning couple receiving a prize.
Wood returned to voice-over work, and went on to a 20-year career announcing Los Angeles-based shows for Goodson-Todman and occasionally other packagers.
Two episodes from the Narz era were aired in late 2005 to pay tribute to Bob Denver and Louis Nye, both of whom had recently died.
The champion couple (or champion-designate if the previous episode had ended with a retiring champion couple) wore red sweaters while the opposing couple wore green.
One stunt usually featured the women of the couples, while the other featured the men, though the other partner sometimes had to help as well.
The stunts were conducted for 60 seconds and were either races against the clock to perform an objective or competitions to outscore the opponent in the stunt before the clock ran out.
In the former case, the clock was run as a fail safe, and if neither couple managed to complete the stunt, the team furthest along won.
Hall would then bring the winning couple across the stage to compete in a stunt by themselves for an additional $500.
After Hall described the stunt and what both partners had to do, the clock was set and the couple had to complete the stunt in the allotted time.
If there was a tie, a coin was tossed with the winners going first and there were only two pucks per side.
The first stripe was worth $300 and each subsequent stripe was worth $100 more, with the stripe at the very end of the table worth $1,000.
Pucks had to remain on the table to count, and if a puck failed to reach the first stripe it was taken off the board and discarded.
The teams were allowed to try to knock each other's pucks off the board if they so desired but did so at their own risk, as they could just as easily knock their own puck off the board or push a puck up the board and onto a higher value.
The team whose puck was furthest along on the board after all pucks had been thrown won the money attached to the space their puck was touching and became the day's champions.
Hall would give the objective of the Bonus Stunt to the champion couple, then the clock would be set and the couple had to complete the stunt before time ran out.
If they did so, as previously mentioned, they won ten times their Bonus Shuffle score for a maximum of $10,000 and a new Bonus Stunt would be played on the next show.
If a Bonus Stunt was played five consecutive times without a couple managing to complete it, the stunt would be replaced with a new one.
A team could win up to $13,000 in one day if they managed to win all four stunts in the main game, score $1,000 in the Bonus Shuffle, and win the Bonus Stunt.
The Christmas episode with Ronnie Schell, Joyce Bulifant, Johnny Brown, and Patti Deutsch has aired on GSN in the past during Christmas-themed marathons.
The series aired on GSN between September 10, 2007, and September 2008 in a late Saturday and Sunday night slot but was pulled from the schedule after beginning the final week.
The first couple to complete the stunt got 10 points and the advantage of having to play a 30-second solo stunt first, as well as the ability to assign the stunts to the other teams- prior to gameplay the couple was shown 3 items on a tray that represented the stunts themselves, picked one for themselves to play, and divided the other two among the remaining players.
Answering it correctly gave the team 10 extra seconds to complete the stunt and both parts had to be answered correctly, one by each player, in order to get those 10 seconds.
10 points were given for completing the stunt with one additional point for each second remaining on the clock (for example, if a couple completed a stunt with three seconds remaining, they scored 13 points for the round).
In a stunt like this, the first place couple's ring tosser would be closest to their partner, the second place couple would be slightly further back, and the third place couple would be the furthest back (the first place couple was always given an advantage, with the second having less of one and the third the least).
In this case, the female half of the couple was given the option to answer it, have her partner answer it, or pass it to the other team to make them answer.
The two couples then bid down from a base time of two minutes to see who could complete the stunt in the fastest amount of time, and bidding continued until one team challenged the other to beat the clock.
The stunt was then played, and if the challenged couple completed it they won the game and advanced to the bonus game.
Once inside the machine, both players tried to grab as much money and prize vouchers as they could within a 1-minute time limit.
There were three standing rules- both players could grab items but they had to be placed in a bag worn around the male partner's waist, they couldn't bend over and pick up anything off the floor (although they could kick items off the floor into the air), and once the buzzer sounded, they had to put their hands up and stop.
Later in the run, several gold certificates were added to the machine and if the couple picked one up, the cash they had grabbed would be doubled.
The new version, (taped in Los Angeles, making it the second version taped there) features children and adults competing as teams and was hosted by Paul Costabile.
Two teams of two kids (sometimes one kid and his/her adult relative) (one dressed in purple and the other dressed in green) in a mad race against time filled with zany stunts & challenges.
Both teams get to keep the cash, but the team with the most money at the end of round three wins the game and goes on to try and Beat The Big Clock for over $2,000; in the event of a tie, whoever completes the task first, or does the most tasks within the time limit in the head to head wins.
Each part completed is worth $250, and completing all four parts wins the team $2,000, along with a $1,000 donation to a children's charity of the team's choice.
Examples include bombers converted to carry experimental aircraft to altitudes where they can conduct their research (such as the B-52 carrying the X-15), or ships that carry small submarines to an area of ocean to be explored (such as the Atlantis II carrying the Alvin).
Mother ships can carry small submersibles and submarines to an area of ocean to be explored (such as the Atlantis II carrying the Alvin).
During the age of the great airships, the United States built two rigid airships, and , with onboard hangars able to house a number of Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawk biplane fighters.
In the air launch role, a large carrier aircraft or mother ship carries a smaller payload aircraft to a launch point and then releases it.
Notable among these was the use during the 1960s of a modified Boeing B-52 Stratofortress for the repeated launching of the North American X-15.
In a captive carry arrangement the payload craft, such as a rocket, missile, aeroplane or spaceplane, does not separate from the carrier aircraft.
Some large long-range aircraft have been modified as motherships in order to carry parasite aircraft which support the mothership by extending its role, for example for reconnaissance, or acting in a support role such as fighter defence.
During World War II the Soviet Tupolev-Vakhmistrov Zveno project developed converted Tupolev TB-1 and TB-3 aircraft to carry and launch up to five smaller craft, typically in roles such as fighter escort or fighter-bomber.
During the early days of the jet age, fighter aircraft could not fly long distances and still match point-defence fighters or interceptors in dogfighting.
In November 2014, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) requested industry proposals for a system in which small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) would be launched and recovered by their existing conventional large aircraft, including the B-52 Stratofortress and B-1 Lancer bombers and C-130 Hercules and C-17 Globemaster III transports.
Both the 1962 American Ranger and the 1966 Soviet Luna unmanned landers were spherical capsules designed to be ejected at the last moment from mother ships that carried them to the Moon, and crashed onto its surface.
In the manned Apollo program, astronauts in the Lunar Module left the Command/Service Module mother ship in lunar orbit, descended to the surface, and returned to dock in a lunar orbit rendezvous with the mother ship once more for the return to Earth.
There have been numerous sightings of UFOs claimed to be mother ships, many in the U.S. during the summer of 1947.
The concept of a mother ship also occurs in science fiction, extending the idea to spaceships that serve as the equivalent of flagships among a fleet.
She was launched on 26 August 1941, sponsored by Mrs. Elizabeth H. Hogan, and commissioned on 15 December 1941, with Lieutenant Commander Creed C. Burlingame (Class of 1927) in command.
Patrol boats were closing in as the submarine, probably the only American submarine to make an attack while flying the Japanese flag, quickly left the vicinity.
She scored damaging hits on a large tanker on the night of 14 August and, on 31 August, sank two enemy trawlers before returning to Pearl Harbor.
While far out at sea on the night of 22 December, the submarine's pharmacist's mate, PM1 Thomas Moore, performed a successful emergency appendectomy on FM2 George Platter, using ether as anaesthesia and using rudimentary tools primarily fashioned from kitchen utensils.
With the operation over at 3:00 on 23 December, the submarine surfaced only to be immediately forced down by a Japanese destroyer and compelled to endure a severe depth charge attack.
Additionally, a Japanese airplane had arrived on the scene, and proceeded to drop three bombs on the submarine, severely damaging her bow planes and causing them to lock on full dive.
Since it was impossible to disarm the torpedo, the commanding officer decided to attempt to refire it, an extremely dangerous maneuver.
When a serious oil leak was discovered later that night, the submarine left the patrol area two days ahead of schedule and returned to Pearl Harbor on 31 January for a major overhaul.
On the 28th a frigate bird made a high level bombing attack, scoring a direct hit on the bare head and beard of the OOD, Lt. Bienia.
Continuing on, the submarine's primary mission for this patrol was to lay a minefield in Steffan Strait, between New Hanover and New Ireland, but she did not neglect enemy shipping.
had been badly damaged in a severe depth charging and was forced to surface and try to escape while fighting enemy escorts in a gun battle, a task for which a submarine is badly outmatched.
Although she again found few worthwhile targets, the submarine did manage to damage a large freighter and to sink a trawler before returning to Pearl Harbor on 29 April.
On 22 July, she rescued a downed fighter pilot from the light aircraft carrier , and two days later recovered a downed United States Army Air Forces airman.
After shifting to New London, Connecticut, she was decommissioned on 17 April 1946 and placed in reserve until 15 October 1947, when she was placed in service as a training ship for Naval Reservists at Chicago, Illinois.
After a 1949 overhaul, she remained at Chicago in support of Naval Reserve training as a stationary training vessel for the rest of her service.
The last time the Silversides was dry-docked was after the war, in 1949, when the submarine went into the reserve fleet and her solid brass propellers were removed.
For years, the submarine was tended by a small crew of dedicated volunteers, drawn to her illustrious history and technical marvels.
They donated tens of thousands of man-hours to restore her, maintained her at their own expense, and served as docents and chaperones.
When association volunteers first stepped on board, they faced a musty, mildewed sub with paint peeling off in sheets inside and out, and junk scattered everywhere.
After many years, the refrigeration compartment had produced a growth so thick, they could be measured in multiple inches instead of millimeters.
Topside, the decking was weathered and worn in spots and some areas of the superstructure were rusted and in need of replacement.
Rotted lines were replaced and the boat re-secured to the pier, the bilges were pumped dry, electric power and heat were brought on board and a leak in the No.
Considerable rewiring was done to bring light to all areas of the boat, the plumbing underwent investigation for leaks sprung in once-frozen pipes and a crew set about surveying the Fairbanks Morse 38D8 nine-cylinder, , opposed-piston engines.
In 1987, the submarine was moved to Muskegon, Michigan, to serve as the centerpiece of the new Great Lakes Naval Memorial & Museum.
She is officially credited with sinking 23 ships, the third-most of any allied World War II submarine, behind only the and , according to JANAC figures.
Originally opened as the Great Lakes Naval Memorial & Museum, the museum is now known as the USS Silversides Submarine Museum, which also includes (a United States Coast Guard cutter) and a museum building.
The University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS, ) is an advanced research facility for aeronautics and aerospace engineering, located in the Downsview district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Established in 1949 by founding Director Gordon N. Patterson, the institute is managed by the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering and mainly receives funding from governmental agencies such as the National Research Council, the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Space Agency.
Notable international sponsors include the European Space Agency, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik, NASA Ames Research Center and the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority.
In 1970, the institute was involved in the emergency rescue of the Apollo 13 astronauts, after the mission was aborted by a major accident en route to the Moon.
Engineers and scientists at UTIAS calculated the amount of pressure needed to separate the Lunar Module from the Command/Service Module without damaging the hatch, allowing the crew to survive the re-entry to Earth.
Observing the 40th anniversary of the incident in 2010, lunar module pilot Fred Haise wrote a letter thanking the UTIAS team for its contribution.
In recent years, the institute has produced the world's first microwave-powered aircraft, the world's first engine-powered ornithopter (both inventions of James DeLaurier), and Canada's first space telescope, MOST.
The major expertise areas represented are aircraft design, particularly at subsonic speeds, flight simulation, space mechatronics and robotics, microsatellite technology, computational fluid dynamics and nuclear fusion.
The show began running multi-episode stories, starting with the first five episodes of season four; Casey developed a romantic relationship with Jane Hancock (Stella Stevens), who had just emerged from a coma after 15 years.
At the beginning of season five (the last season), Jaffe left the show and Franchot Tone replaced Zorba as new chief of neurosurgery, Doctor Daniel Niles Freeland.
Its theme music was written by David Raksin; a version performed by pianist Valjean was a top 40 hit in the United States.
On October 9, 2019, CBS Home Entertainment released the first season on DVD in Region 1, in 2 volume sets, for the very first time.
The covers of the books featured photographs of Edwards as Casey, or in the case of the last novel, a drawing of a doctor with Edwards' appearance.
In the song, Loudermilk refers to the TV doctor's wide-ranging medical abilities and asks whether Casey has any cure for heartbreak.
The skits opened with a spoof of the chalkboard sequence, adding one more symbol at the end — a dollar sign ($), accompanied by a laugh track.
Joseph Dudley (September 23, 1647 – April 2, 1720) was a colonial administrator, a native of Roxbury in Massachusetts Bay Colony, and the son of one of its founders.
He had a leading role in the administration of the Dominion of New England (1686–1689) which was overthrown in the 1689 Boston revolt.
He served briefly on the council of the Province of New York where he oversaw the trial which convicted Jacob Leisler, the ringleader of Leisler's Rebellion.
He then spent eight years in England in the 1690s as Lieutenant-Governor of the Isle of Wight, including one year as a Member of Parliament for Newtown (Isle of Wight).
In 1702, he returned to New England after being appointed governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay and Province of New Hampshire, posts that he held until 1715.
His rule of Massachusetts was characterized by hostility and tension, with political enemies opposing his attempts to gain a regular salary and regularly making complaints about his official and private actions.
Most of his tenure was dominated by the French and Indian Wars, in which the two provinces were on the front lines with New France and suffered from a series of major and minor French and Indian raids.
He orchestrated an unsuccessful attempt to capture the Acadian capital of Port Royal in 1707, raised provincial militia forces for its successful capture in 1710, and directed an unsuccessful expedition against Quebec in 1711.
Dudley's governorship initiated a hostility in Massachusetts toward royal governance, most frequently over the issue of the salaries of crown officials.
The colonial legislature routinely challenged or disputed the prerogatives of the governor, and this hostility affected most of the governors of Massachusetts up to the American Revolutionary War and the end of British rule.
His mother was Katherine Dudley (née Dighton or Deighton; formerly Hackburne) and his father was Thomas Dudley, one of the founders and leading magistrates of the colony.
He became a member of the Massachusetts General Court representing Roxbury in 1673, and he was elected to the colony's council of assistants in 1676.
King Philip's War broke out in 1675, and Dudley was a commissioner who accompanied the colonial troops into the field against the Indians.
He served for several years as a commissioner to the New England Confederation, and was sent by the administration on diplomatic missions to neighboring Indian communities.
The colony's governance came under the scrutiny of King Charles II in the 1660s, and it faced a substantial threat in the late 1670s.
Crown agent Edward Randolph was sent to New England in 1676 to collect customs duties and to enforce the Navigation Acts, and in the process he documented a list of issues and took his complaints to the Lords of Trade in London.
Dudley was part of a moderate faction which supported accommodating the king's demands, along with his brother-in-law Simon Bradstreet and William Stoughton, and they were opposed by others who did not want the crown to interfere in the colony's business.
In 1682, Massachusetts sent Dudley and John Richards to London as agents to represent its case to the Lords of Trade.
Dudley brought a letter of introduction from Plymouth Governor Thomas Hinckley to colonial secretary William Blathwayt, and the favorable relationship that he established with Blathwayt contributed to his future success as a colonial administrator, but it also raised suspicions in the colony about his motives and ability to represent the colony's interests.
The authority of the agents was limited, and the Lords of Trade insisted to the colonial administration that their agents be authorized to negotiate modifications to the colonial charter.
Dudley brought this news to Boston at the end of 1683, igniting a heated debate in the legislature, with the opposition party again prevailing.
The leadership of the opposition included Reverend Increase Mather, and they began to view the accommodationists as enemies of the colony, including Dudley and Bradstreet.
The episode also led to accusations that Dudley had secretly schemed in London to have the charter vacated as a means of personal advancement.
The opposition viewed this as evidence that he was hostile to the present order of the colony and was working against his commission as colonial agent.
As a result, rumors began circulating in Boston in late 1684 that Dudley might be appointed governor, with Randolph as his deputy.
The charter was annulled in 1684, and the Lords of Trade began planning to combine the New England colonies into a single province called the Dominion of New England.
However, there were difficulties in drafting a commission for intended governor Sir Edmund Andros, and this prompted Randolph to propose an interim appointment.
Dudley was chosen for this post based on Randolph's recommendation, and a commission was issued to him on October 8, 1685 as President of the Council of New England.
Randolph arrived in Boston with Dudley's charter on May 14, 1686 and Dudley formally took charge of Massachusetts on May 25, but his rule did not begin auspiciously.
A number of Massachusetts magistrates had been named to his council but they refused to serve, and he was unable to reconcile with Increase Mather, who refused to see him.
Dudley made a number of judicial appointments, generally favoring the political moderates who had supported accommodation of the king's wishes in the battle over the old charter.
He renewed treaties with the Indians of northern New England, and traveled to the Narragansett Country in June to formally establish his authority there.
His commission did not give him authority to introduce new revenue laws, and the Massachusetts government had repealed all such laws in 1683 in anticipation of losing their charter.
Furthermore, many people refused to pay the remaining taxes on the grounds that they had been enacted by the old government and were thus invalid.
Dudley and Randolph also attempted to introduce the Church of England into New England, but they were largely unsuccessful; they did not have buildings to house their new churches, and they recognized the danger of forcing Colonial churches to share their buildings with the Church of England.
Dudley and Randolph enforced the Navigation Acts, although they did not adhere to the letter of the law, understanding that some provisions of the acts were unfair, such as requiring payments of multiple duties.
Some violations were overlooked, and they suggested to the Lords of Trade that the laws be modified to ameliorate these conditions.
While Dudley governed, the Lords of Trade decided to include the colonies of Rhode Island and Connecticut in the dominion, based on a petition from Dudley's council.
Andros' commission had been issued in June, and he was given an annex to the commission with instructions to bring Rhode Island and Connecticut under his authority.
However, travel was difficult, and the government did not reimburse travel expenses; consequently, his council was dominated by representatives from Boston and Plymouth.
Dudley's position as judge brought him the harshest criticisms and complaints, in particular when he enforced unpopular laws imposed by Andros concerning taxes, town meetings, and land titles.
Since he was ill, he was released into house arrest upon payment of a £1,000 bond, but a group descended on his home and carried him back to jail.
He stayed in jail for ten months, in part for his own safety, and was then sent back to England at the command of King William, along with Andros and other dominion leaders.
Colonial authorities brought charges against Andros and Dudley, but none of their agents in London were prepared to take responsibility for making those charges in court, so they were dismissed and both men were freed.
Coxe was a proprietor of West Jersey and he considered Dudley for the post of lieutenant governor there, and Dudley was eventually recommended as chief of council to New York governor Henry Sloughter which he took up in 1691.
In addition to his council duties, he negotiated with New York's Indians and sat as chief judge in the trial of Jacob Leisler, who had led the rebellion in 1689 that overthrew Andros' lieutenant governor Francis Nicholson.
Governor Sloughter was initially opposed to immediately executing Leisler and his main ally and son-in-law Jacob Milborne, preferring to defer the decision to the king.
But he changed his mind under pressure from anti-Leisler forces in his council, and the two men were executed on 16 May 1691.
Cotton Mather claimed that Dudley was an influential force arguing for Leisler's execution, although this is disputed by testimony from anti-Leisler councillor Nicholas Bayard.
Dudley left New York for his home in Roxbury in 1692 and re-established connections with political friends such as William Stoughton, who had just been appointed lieutenant governor of the newly chartered Province of Massachusetts Bay under Sir William Phips.
He acquired a patron in Baron Cutts, who engineered his appointment as lieutenant governor of the Isle of Wight where Cutts had been appointed governor.
Dudley and Cutts assisted each other politically; Cutts worked to advance Dudley's agenda in London, while Dudley worked to promote that of Cutts on Wight.
Dudley manipulated the parliamentary election processes on the island to ensure that Cutts' chosen candidates were elected, which made Cutts highly unpopular on Wight—although he continued as its governor until his death in 1707.
Dudley also tried to assist Cutts with some financial difficulties, and he schemed with Cutts' father-in-law to gain permission to mint coins for use in New England.
Dudley's principal object of intrigue was the removal of William Phips as Massachusetts governor, something that he did not hide from the colony's agents.
Phips' rule was unpopular in Massachusetts, and he was recalled to England to answer a variety of charges brought by his opponents.
Dudley caused Phips to be arrested shortly after his arrival, on the charge that Phips had withheld customs money from the crown.
Phips died in February 1695 before the charges were heard, and Dudley was optimistic that he would be named the next governor.
Cutts continued to be active on Dudley's behalf, and he secured him election as a Member of Parliament representing Newtown in 1701.
He managed temporarily to mend political fences with Constantine Phips and Cotton Mather, and he began lobbying for the Massachusetts governorship after the death of Bellomont in 1701.
In this he was successful, receiving commissions as governor of Massachusetts and New Hampshire on 1 April 1702 from Queen Anne.
Dudley served as governor until 1715, and his administration was marked by regular conflict with the general court, particularly in the early years.
He and all of the succeeding royal governors, however, were unsuccessful in extracting this concession from the Colonial legislature, and it became a regular source of friction between representatives of crown and colony.
Dudley also angered the powerful Mather family when he awarded the presidency of Harvard to John Leverett instead of Cotton Mather.
He consistently vetoed the election of councilors and speakers of the general court who had acted against him in 1689, further increasing his unpopularity in Massachusetts.
In contrast, his tenure as Governor of New Hampshire was popular; its legislature specifically praised him to the Queen after learning of complaints levelled against him by his Massachusetts opponents.
He attempted to forestall French-orchestrated Indian hostilities by meeting with Indians at Casco Bay in June 1703, but the French had already begun rallying them to their cause and the war began with raids on the settlements of southern Maine in August 1703.
Dudley called out the militia and licensed privateers to raid French shipping, such as Thomas Larimore; he also fortified the Massachusetts and New Hampshire frontiers from the Connecticut River to southern Maine.
The French and Indians raided Deerfield in February 1704, prompting calls for retaliation, and Dudley authorized aging Indian fighter Benjamin Church to lead an expedition against settlements in Acadia.
Boston merchants and the Mathers accused Dudley of being in league with smugglers and others who were illegally trading with the French, in part because he specifically refused permission for Church to attack the Acadian capital and commercial center of Port Royal.
He sought to forestall these criticisms in 1707 when he sent the colonial militia on a fruitless expedition against Port Royal.
Dudley again rallied the provincial militias for a planned expedition against Quebec in 1709, but the supporting expedition from England was called off.
Support arrived from England in 1710, and a successful siege led to the fall of Port Royal and the beginning of the Province of Nova Scotia.
The war quieted to some extent after the fall of Port Royal, with only small raiding parties hitting frontier communities, and peace came in 1713 with the Treaty of Utrecht.
He hoped to separate the western Kennebec tribe from French influence and consequently adopted a fairly hard line, threatening to withhold trade that was vital to their survival and reiterating claims of British sovereignty over them.
Nevertheless, Dudley and succeeding governors treated the Abenaki as British subjects, and friction persisted over British colonial expansion into Maine which flared into Dummer's War in the 1720s.
The province had been issuing paper currency since the 1690s, and the issue of large amounts of this currency was causing it to depreciate compared to precious metals used in other currencies.
Business leaders who borrowed money were happy to pay it back later with depreciated currency, while lenders sought reforms to stabilize the currency.
In 1714, Dudley's opponents proposed that a bank should issue as much as £50,000 in currency, secured by the shareholder's real estate properties.
In 1713, surveys determined that the border between Massachusetts and the Connecticut Colony had been incorrectly sited in the 17th century, and that Massachusetts had consequently distributed lands that actually belonged to Connecticut.
Dudley and Connecticut Governor Gurdon Saltonstall negotiated an agreement in which Massachusetts would retain those lands but would grant to Connecticut an equivalent amount of land.
The Equivalent Lands amounted to over on either side of the Connecticut River in northern Massachusetts, southeastern Vermont, and southwestern New Hampshire.
Dudley's commission expired in 1714, six months after the death of Queen Anne, as did that of Lieutenant Governor William Tailer.
They assumed control of the government on February 14, 1715 under the provisions of the provincial charter concerning governance in the absence of the governor and his lieutenant.
Just six weeks later, news arrived from England that Dudley's commission had been temporarily confirmed by King George I, and he was reinstated on March 21.
However, Dudley's political opponents were active in London, especially those involved in the land bank proposal, and they convinced the king to appoint Colonel Elizeus Burges as governor later in the year.
Jonathan Belcher and Jeremiah Dummer, the brother of Dudley's son-in-law William Dummer, bribed Burges to resign his commission without leaving England in April 1716, and a new commission was issued to Samuel Shute, who promised to oppose attempts to introduce the land bank.
He died in Roxbury on April 2, 1720 and was buried next to his father in Roxbury's Eliot Burying Ground, accompanied with the pomp and ceremony appropriate to his position.
His son Paul served as attorney general and chief justice of Massachusetts, and Dudley, Massachusetts is named for his sons Paul and William, who were its first proprietors.
The Worcester properties he purchased from the Nipmuc in partnership with William Stoughton, and he was granted land in Oxford, Massachusetts for the purpose of settling French Huguenots.
He frequently used his position to ensure that his land titles were judicially cleared, especially when president of the dominion and governor of the province.
He capitalized on his favorable family connections to the Puritan leadership of Massachusetts to establish connections in England, but then betrayed those Massachusetts connections when it became necessary to further his quest for power.
It uses a decision tree (as a predictive model) to go from observations about an item (represented in the branches) to conclusions about the item's target value (represented in the leaves).
Tree models where the target variable can take a discrete set of values are called classification trees; in these tree structures, leaves represent class labels and branches represent conjunctions of features that lead to those class labels.
A decision tree or a classification tree is a tree in which each internal (non-leaf) node is labeled with an input feature.
The arcs coming from a node labeled with an input feature are labeled with each of the possible values of the target or output feature or the arc leads to a subordinate decision node on a different input feature.
Each leaf of the tree is labeled with a class or a probability distribution over the classes, signifying that the data set has been classified by the tree into either a specific class, or into a particular probability distribution (which, if the decision tree is well-constructed, is skewed towards certain subsets of classes).
A tree is built by splitting the source set, constituting the root node of the tree, into subsets - which constitute the successor children.
The recursion is completed when the subset at a node has all the same values of the target variable, or when splitting no longer adds value to the predictions.
In data mining, decision trees can be described also as the combination of mathematical and computational techniques to aid the description, categorization and generalization of a given set of data.
The term Classification And Regression Tree (CART) analysis is an umbrella term used to refer to both of the above procedures, first introduced by Breiman et al.
Trees used for regression and trees used for classification have some similarities - but also some differences, such as the procedure used to determine where to split.
A special case of a decision tree is a decision list, which is a one-sided decision tree, so that every internal node has exactly 1 leaf node and exactly 1 internal node as a child (except for the bottommost node, whose only child is a single leaf node).
While less expressive, decision lists are arguably easier to understand than general decision trees due to their added sparsity, permit non-greedy learning methods and monotonic constraints to be imposed.
A decision tree is a flow-chart-like structure, where each internal (non-leaf) node denotes a test on an attribute, each branch represents the outcome of a test, and each leaf (or terminal) node holds a class label.
ID3 and CART were invented independently at around the same time (between 1970 and 1980), yet follow a similar approach for learning a decision tree from training tuples.
Algorithms for constructing decision trees usually work top-down, by choosing a variable at each step that best splits the set of items.
These metrics are applied to each candidate subset, and the resulting values are combined (e.g., averaged) to provide a measure of the quality of the split.
Used by the CART (classification and regression tree) algorithm for classification trees, Gini impurity is a measure of how often a randomly chosen element from the set would be incorrectly labeled if it was randomly labeled according to the distribution of labels in the subset.
The Gini impurity can be computed by summing the probability formula_5 of an item with label formula_6 being chosen times the probability formula_7 of a mistake in categorizing that item.
The Gini impurity is also an information theoretic measure and corresponds to Tsallis Entropy with deformation coefficient formula_8, which in Physics is associated with the lack of information in out-of-equlibrium, non-extensive, dissipative and quantum systems.
To compute Gini impurity for a set of items with formula_10 classes, suppose formula_11, and let formula_5 be the fraction of items labeled with class formula_6 in the set.
where formula_16are fractions that add up to 1 and represent the percentage of each class present in the child node that results from a split in the tree.
To construct a decision tree on this data, we need to compare the information gain of each of four trees, each split on one of the four features.
The split with the highest information gain will be taken as the first split and the process will continue until all children nodes are pure, or until the information gain is 0.
To find the information of the split, we take the weighted average of these two numbers based on how many observations fell into which node.
Introduced in CART, variance reduction is often employed in cases where the target variable is continuous (regression tree), meaning that use of many other metrics would first require discretization before being applied.
where formula_25, formula_26, and formula_27 are the set of presplit sample indices, set of sample indices for which the split test is true, and set of sample indices for which the split test is false, respectively.
In a decision graph, it is possible to use disjunctions (ORs) to join two more paths together using minimum message length (MML).
Decision graphs have been further extended to allow for previously unstated new attributes to be learnt dynamically and used at different places within the graph.
Libertalia was a legendary free colony forged by pirates and the pirate Captain Misson, although some historians have expressed doubts over its existence outside of literature.
Misson's idea was to have his society be a society in which people of all colors, creeds, and beliefs were to be free of any scrutiny.
Tew had no idea such a society could be established, Tew had lost his quartermaster and 23 men of his crew when they had left to form a settlement further up the Madagascan coast.
Off the coast of Angola, Tew and his men captured another English slave ship along with 240 men, women, and children.
These radical ideas and stories that were associated with Misson resonated throughout the world, and most importantly throughout the pirate community.
Misson and the rest of the pirate community were strongly opposed to the various forms of authoritarian social constructs such as monarchies, slavery, and capital.
They envisioned a society where the people as a whole held the authority to make laws and rules, and used systems of councils with elected delegates.
While cruising round the coast of Madagascar, Misson found a perfect bay in an area with fertile soil, fresh water and friendly natives.
Shortly after the beginning of building work on the colony of Libertalia, the Victoire ran into the pirate Thomas Tew, who decided to accompany them back to Libertalia.
Such a colony was no new idea to Tew; he had lost his quartermaster and 23 of his crew when they had left to form a settlement further up the Madagascan coast.
The African members of the pirate crew discovered many friends and relatives among the enslaved and struck off their fetters and handcuffs, regaling them with the glories of their new life of liberty.
Below the fort, under the protection of the forts, was where the living quarters along with the rest of the town was located.
Samuel Roy Hagar (born October 13, 1947), also known as The Red Rocker, is an American rock vocalist, songwriter, musician, and entrepreneur.
He enjoyed commercial success when he replaced David Lee Roth as the lead singer of Van Halen in 1985, but left in 1996.
On March 12, 2007, Hagar was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Van Halen.
Named after his maternal grandfather, Samuel Roy Hagar was born in Salinas, California, United States, on October 13, 1947, but his family soon moved to Fontana, where his father worked at the Kaiser Steel Mill.
Hagar was also a member of a string of other pre-Montrose bands including Big Bang, Skinny, Dustcloud, Cotton, Jimmy, and Manhole.
He next became a member of the Justice Brothers, along with guitarist Bob Anglin, keyboardist Al Shane, bassist Jeff Nicholson, and drummer David Lauser.
Bassist Bill Church (whom Montrose had fired after the first album) and drummer Denny Carmassi eventually played in Hagar's backing band.
Hagar left Capitol for the newly formed Geffen Records and made some personnel changes, including enlisting long-time friend and former Justice Brothers bandmate David Lauser as his drummer.
In 1983 and 1984, Hagar and Neal Schon formed the supergroup HSAS (Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve) along with former Foghat bassist Kenny Aaronson and former Santana drummer Michael Shrieve.
The tracks which appeared on the album were recorded live, but crowd noise was removed during the mixing process to create the feel of a studio album.
In 1985, after parting ways with vocalist David Lee Roth, the remaining members of the band Van Halen contacted many potential replacements.
In July, given Eddie Van Halen's appreciation of Montrose and at his car mechanic's suggestion, the band auditioned and quickly hired Hagar to fill the opening.
Hagar disagreed with a decision to record two new tracks for a greatest hits album after the band had agreed to take time off following their 1995 world tour.
This issue was pushed by Van Halen's new manager Ray Danniels, Alex Van Halen's brother-in-law, brought in after the death of their longtime manager Ed Leffler.
Hagar wanted instead to record a new studio album, but only after Eddie, Alex, and Hagar's pregnant wife had all dealt with their respective medical issues.
Although there are several versions of how the split occurred, Hagar has stated that the final straw came when he was with his wife in Hawaii, where they had arranged for a natural delivery of the baby, and Eddie wanted him back in the studio in California.
Hagar claimed to have flown to Los Angeles with his wife only to discover that she could not fly back to Hawaii.
When Van Halen again parted ways with Roth, instead of rehiring Hagar, the band hired Gary Cherone, the former lead singer of Extreme, also managed by Danniels.
Having jammed as a trio in 1992, Hagar, drummer David Lauser, and Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony formed the harmony-singing rock band Los Tres Gusanos (in English, The Three Worms) in 1993.
Playing a mixture of Hagar, Van Halen, and cover songs at Cabo Wabo and in San Francisco, California, the band got together a few times a year.
Initially active until 1996, Los Tres Gusanos regrouped in 2002, then again in 2005, and has performed together many times since.
Musician Robert Berry stood in for Michael Anthony in 1996 and 1998 while the bass player fulfilled his touring commitments with Van Halen.
Like related project Planet Us, Los Tres Gusanos has played at the BAMMIES (aka the California Music Awards) and is known for its live performances.
Similarly, neither band has ever made any official releases, although a number of unofficial bootleg live recordings have been widely circulated on CD and download, though these tend to be credited to Van Halen even when Hagar refers to Los Tres Gusanos by name during the recorded performances.
In 1999, he formed a long-term band, called The Waboritas: David Lauser returned on drums, as did Jesse Harms on keyboards, and new to the mix was former The Bus Boys guitarist Vic Johnson, and former Tommy Tutone bassist Mona Gnader.
In the summer of 2002, Roth and Hagar teamed up in the Song For Song, the Heavyweight Champs of Rock and Roll Tour (also known as the 'Sans-Halen' or 'Sam & Dave' Tour).
The tour attracted media and audience fascination because it seemed more improbable than even a Van Halen tour with Roth or Hagar.
In 2002, with Van Halen still unreformed at this point, Hagar joined again with guitarists Neal Schon of Journey and later Joe Satriani to form a new side project called Planet Us, along with Van Halen member Michael Anthony on bass and Deen Castronovo (also of Journey) on drums.
Despite big intentions, the band only recorded two songs and played live a few times before dissolving when Hagar and Anthony rejoined Van Halen.
After the successful tour with David Lee Roth, Hagar started thinking about his former Van Halen bandmates, calling Alex in late 2003 following a tip from a mutual friend.
The relationship between Hagar and Van Halen eventually got so strained that they completed the tour using two separate charter jets, one for Hagar and Michael Anthony and one for Eddie and Alex.
Hagar said in an interview (and later confirmed in greater detail in his 2011 autobiography) that Eddie had changed and wasn't the same person anymore.
In 2005, Hagar continued to play with The Waboritas as he toured the Atlantic coast and the Midwest and added ex-Van Halen bass player Michael Anthony.
He often credits St. Louis fans and the radio station KSHE in St. Louis with helping to launch his professional career.
In 2008, Hagar formed a supergroup named Chickenfoot with Michael Anthony, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, and guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani.
Led Zeppelin songs were also featured in homage to Led Zeppelin, due to the fact that Jason is the son of its drummer, John Bonham.
Previously, Hagar collaborated with Washburn Guitars, which made a Hagar signature guitar named Washburn RR150, which featured Seymour Duncan pickups and a piezo pickup incorporated into the bridge.
Currently, he uses Blackstar and Marshall amps, making use of the Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 head and Blackstar Series One 100-watt head.
Also, time spent in Van Halen interrupted Hagar's solo career; it was on hiatus from 1985 to 1996 other than small returns to studio work in 1987 and 1993.
Hagar put the Waboritas on lifetime salary/vacation again, with the understanding that when he wanted to play with them they would be there ready to play, in 2009 following Hagar's involvement in the band Chickenfoot.
Initially, Hagar reported he would only occasionally play with the Wabos from then on, for shows at Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, particularly his annual birthday concert.
However, due to commitments of other members of Chickenfoot slowing the band's progress, Hagar has performed more than he initially planned to with The Wabos line-up.
He married his current wife, Kari Hagar, on November 29, 1995, and together they have two daughters, Kama (born in April 1996) and Samantha (born in March 2001).
Hagar is the cousin of Christian metal singer Ken Tamplin, who is best known for his work with Joshua, Shout and Magdallan, in addition to his solo career.
The band's output is usually referred to as noise rock or sometimes Japanoise, though their more recent records have mostly featured repetitive minimalism, ambient music, and tribal drumming.
Singer Yamantaka Eye is the closest the band has to a frontman; his style includes a range of baffling screams, babbling, electronic effects, and very heavy post-production.
Boredoms were formed in early 1986 by Yamantaka Eye, who at the time acted as front man for the infamous and highly controversial noise/performance art act Hanatarash, locally notorious for its extremely dangerous live shows consisting entirely of on-stage destruction and complete disregard for the audience's safety.
The band officially changed their name to Boredoms after Hira replaced Hosoi on bass, and Sasarato left the band due to creative differences.
In early 1987, Tabata left the group to later join Zeni Geva and was replaced by Seiichi Yamamoto as guitar player.
Due to unhappiness over Yoshikawa's drumming, Yoshimi P-We from Eye's Hanatarash-related project UFO or Die was asked to serve as drummer, becoming the first female member of the band, with Yoshikawa switching to general percussion.
Shortly after the change Yoshikawa left the group, to be replaced by Chew Hasegawa (now of Japanese funeral doom band Corrupted) and then by Kazuya Nishimura, known by his stage name Atari.
The band's sound from this period was marked by harsh, dissonant punk edited extensively by Eye in the studio, citing Sonic Youth and Funkadelic as influences, among others.
In 1988 and 1989, Eye found himself making friends with Sonic Youth and also worked extensively with John Zorn's polystylistic Naked City project, serving as guest vocalist.
Shortly after Eye again collaborated with John Zorn on an EP under the name Mystic Fugu Orchestra, which was notably the first album released on Zorn's Tzadik Records.
The album proved largely successful for such an experimental band and was later considered one of the best albums of the 1990s by Alternative Press magazine.
Rumors that the band had broken up began to circulate, but a smaller ensemble who called themselves V∞redoms resurfaced in 2003.
The band was signed by Vice Records for its releases in the United States since it had been dropped by Reprise.
The album was not celebrated to the extent of their previous albums, yet it still garnered mostly positive reviews, culminating with an exemplary score of 73% on Metacritic.
Following its release, EDA left the band and went on to form audio-visual project Adrena Adrena with visual artist Daisy Dickinson.
The band also planned to attempt using newly developed contact microphones to record the sounds made by the human body while dancing.
On July 7, 2007, Boredoms performed a concert entitled 77 Boadrum in Brooklyn Bridge Park, New York City, with drummer Muneomi Senju replacing Nishimura.
Eye has said that the number 77 became significant to him when he climbed the Sun Temple and counted 77 steps.
The band continued the concept on August 8, 2008, with two concerts called 88 Boadrum held in Los Angeles and Brooklyn.
In 2010, Boredoms toured internationally including two Boadrum performances at All Tomorrow's Parties curated by Matt Groening at Butlins Minehead, England, in addition to shows in London, Japan, Mexico and as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival on October 10, 2010.
Six drummers were arranged in a circle around Eye, who used motion sensors to trigger ambient drone soundscapes created by Shinji Masuko that corresponded to each drummer.
The band was chosen by Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival that he curated in March 2012 in Minehead, England.
The performance featured Eye, Yoshimi, Tatekawa, Masuko, and an expanded lineup of drummers and guitarists surrounded by 88 percussionists all playing cymbals.
Raymond Leo Flynn (born July 22, 1939) is an American politician who served as 52nd Mayor of Boston, Massachusetts from 1984 until 1993.
Before entering politics, Flynn was an All-American college basketball player at Providence College, and during his senior year was selected Most Valuable Player in the 1963 National Invitation Tournament (NIT).
The Nationals relocated to Philadelphia to become the 76ers, but Flynn did not play for them, as he spent part of the 1963–64 season with the Wilmington Blue Bombers of the Eastern Professional Basketball League.
Philadelphia traded his NBA rights to the Boston Celtics in September 1964, and in October he was the last player cut by the then-champions.
Flynn began his political career as a Democratic member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1971 to 1979, representing the South Boston neighborhood during the turbulent busing crisis of the early 1970s.
He later served on the Boston City Council from 1978 to 1984, before successfully running for Mayor of Boston in 1983.
Flynn, a lifelong pro-life activist, was instrumental in drawing the pro-life, Catholic vote to pro-choice Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas in his 1992 bid for the White House against incumbent George H. W. Bush.
Following his service as ambassador, Flynn ran unsuccessfully for Massachusetts's 8th congressional district seat that was being vacated by Joseph P. Kennedy II in 1998.
Flynn formally announced his candidacy in June, and in September lost in the Democratic primary election to eventual general election winner Mike Capuano.
In 2010, Flynn crossed party lines to vote for the successful candidacy of Republican Scott Brown for the United States Senate.
In 2012, Flynn appeared in television ads supporting Brown for re-election; Flynn also voiced support for Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee for president.
Flynn was an avid runner who made headlines when he ran in the Boston Marathon and the New York City Marathon in 1984.
In May 2007, Flynn joined the College of Fellows of the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology in Berkeley, California, who also awarded him the honorary degree Doctor of Humane Letters.
In March 2011, Flynn's home was broken into; among the valuables taken were rosary beads blessed by Pope John Paul II and letters from influential world figures.
In this role, while remaining a Democrat, he and the Catholic Alliance endorsed George W. Bush in the 2000 presidential election.
Since 2004, Flynn has also served on the advisory board of Catholics for the Common Good, a lay apostolate for evangelization of culture.
Cherone is known for his work as the lead vocalist of the Boston rock group Extreme and for his short stint as the lead vocalist for Van Halen.
Born Gary Francis Caine Cherone, he grew up in Malden, Massachusetts and attended Malden High School, the third of five brothers and the younger of fraternal twin Greg Cherone.
In his teenage years, Cherone turned to singing in local bands and was heavily influenced by the reigning rock frontmen of the day, most notably Roger Daltrey of The Who, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, and Queen's Freddie Mercury.
In 1979 Cherone and drummer friend Paul Geary along with guitarist Matt McKay, formed a hard-rock band called Adrenalin, which performed locally.
By the late 1980s, the group had attracted a large regional following; in 1987, the band signed with A&M Records, which released their self-titled debut album in 1989.
As the decade progressed, the sudden popularity of grunge brought about a sea of change in the pop music industry, causing 80's rock and glam to gain less commercial support from labels.
In 1996, rock band Van Halen had a falling out with their second lead singer, Sammy Hagar, who had been with the band since 1985.
After a failed reunion attempt with original lead vocalist David Lee Roth, who had been with Van Halen from 1974 to 1985, Van Halen was once again without a lead vocalist.
Guitarist Eddie Van Halen liked Cherone's lyrics, as well as his work ethic, and in November 1996 Cherone became Van Halen's third lead vocalist.
That year, Cherone took up residence in Eddie's guest house and spent the next year writing and recording a new studio album.
The album featured an eclectic and diverse set of songs, marking a departure from the straightforward arena rock that Van Halen had played with Hagar and contrasting with the tongue-in-cheek bombast that originally attracted Van Halen fans to Roth.
By most band standards the album would be considered an unmitigated commercial success but by Van Halen's standards it was considered a flop.
The tour brought back many older Van Halen songs that fans had wanted to hear since Roth's initial departure in 1984.
Unlike the band's subsequent 2004 and 2007–08 tours, Van Halen toured outside of North America in 1998, playing dates in Japan, Europe and for the first time, Australia and New Zealand.
Since then, he has remained on good terms with his former bandmates, going on record numerous times with his thoughts about why the collaboration failed to work.
This album was recorded by Jeff Yurek at Sanctum Sound in Boston, Massachusetts, and mixed by Carl Nappa in New York City.
In May 2006, Cherone sang in three shows as part of Amazing Journey, a tribute to The Who created by ex-Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy, featuring Paul Gilbert on guitar and Billy Sheehan on bass.
In 2016, the band released Pornograffitti Live 25: Metal Meltdown, an audio/video presentation of its 2015 concert at Las Vegas' Hard Rock Casino.
Cherone has formed a new band with his brother Markus on guitar, Joe Pessia on bass/mandolin and Dana Spellman on drums.
Although this state of consciousness may seem to appear spontaneous, it usually follows prolonged preparation through ascetic or meditative/contemplative practice, which may include ethical injunctions.
The Asian idea of nondualism is developed in the Vedic and post-Vedic Hindu philosophies, as well as in the Buddhist traditions.
The oldest traces of nondualism in Indian thought are found in the earlier Hindu Upanishads such as Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, as well as other pre-Buddhist Upanishads such as the Chandogya Upanishad, which emphasizes the unity of individual soul called Atman and the Supreme called Brahman.
Western Neo-Platonism is an essential element of both Christian contemplation and mysticism, and of Western esotericism and modern spirituality, especially Unitarianism, Transcendentalism, Universalism and Perennialism.
One of the earliest uses of the word Advaita is found in verse 4.3.32 of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (~800 BCE), and in verses 7 and 12 of the Mandukya Upanishad (variously dated to have been composed between 500 BCE to 200 CE).
The idea of nondualism is typically contrasted with dualism, with dualism defined as the view that the universe and the nature of existence consists of two realities, such as the God and the world, or as God and Devil, or as mind and matter, and so on.
Ideas of nonduality are also taught in some western religions and philosophies, and it has gained attraction and popularity in modern western spirituality and New Age-thinking.
According to Dasgupta and Mohanta, non-dualism developed in various strands of Indian thought, both Vedic and Buddhist, from the Upanishadic period onward.
Pre-sectarian Buddhism may also have been responding to the teachings of the Chandogya Upanishad, rejecting some of its Atman-Brahman related metaphysics.
Advaita appears in different shades in various schools of Hinduism such as in Advaita Vedanta, Vishishtadvaita Vedanta (Vaishnavism), Suddhadvaita Vedanta (Vaishnavism), non-dual Shaivism and Shaktism.
In the Advaita Vedanta of Adi Shankara, advaita implies that all of reality is one with Brahman, that the Atman (soul, self) and Brahman (ultimate unchanging reality) are one.
The advaita ideas of some Hindu traditions contrasts with the schools that defend dualism or Dvaita, such as that of Madhvacharya who stated that the experienced reality and God are two (dual) and distinct.
The best-known is Advaita Vedanta, but other nondual Vedanta schools also have a significant influence and following, such as Vishishtadvaita Vedanta and Shuddhadvaita, both of which are bhedabheda.
The oldest surviving manuscript on Advaita Vedanta is by Gauḍapāda (6th century CE), who has traditionally been regarded as the teacher of Govinda bhagavatpāda and the grandteacher of Adi Shankara.
This identity holds that there is One Soul that connects and exists in all living beings, regardless of their shapes or forms, there is no distinction, no superior, no inferior, no separate devotee soul (Atman), no separate God soul (Brahman).
The Oneness unifies all beings, there is the divine in every being, and all existence is a single Reality, state the Advaita Vedantins.
Thus, Gaudapada differs from Buddhist scholars such as Nagarjuna, states Comans, by accepting the premises and relying on the fundamental teaching of the Upanishads.
Mahadevan suggests that Gaudapada adopted Buddhist terminology and adapted its doctrines to his Vedantic goals, much like early Buddhism adopted Upanishadic terminology and adapted its doctrines to Buddhist goals; both used pre-existing concepts and ideas to convey new meanings.
Vishishtadvaita Vedanta is another main school of Vedanta and teaches the nonduality of the qualified whole, in which Brahman alone exists, but is characterized by multiplicity.
Radhakrishnan acknowledged the reality and diversity of the world of experience, which he saw as grounded in and supported by the absolute or Brahman.
Somananda, the first theologian of monistic Saivism, was the teacher of Utpaladeva, who was the grand-teacher of Abhinavagupta, who in turn was the teacher of Ksemaraja.
These include Vedanta, Samkhya, Patanjali Yoga and Nyayas, and various Buddhist schools, including Yogacara and Madhyamika, but also Tantra and the Nath-tradition.
Ramana Maharshi (30 December 1879 – 14 April 1950) is widely acknowledged as one of the outstanding Indian gurus of modern times.
According to a modern western spiritual teacher of nonduality, Jeff Foster, nonduality is: the essential oneness (wholeness, completeness, unity) of life, a wholeness which exists here and now, prior to any apparent separation [...] despite the compelling appearance of separation and diversity there is only one universal essence, one reality.
These extremes which must be avoided in order to understand ultimate reality are described by various characters in the text, and include: Birth and extinction, 'I' and 'Mine', Perception and non-perception, defilement and purity, good and not-good, created and uncreated, worldly and unworldly, samsara and nirvana, enlightenment and ignorance, form and emptiness and so on.
The final character to attempt to describe ultimate reality is the bodhisattva Manjushri, who states:It is in all beings wordless, speechless, shows no signs, is not possible of cognizance, and is above all questioning and answering.
As explained by the Indian philosopher Nagarjuna, there is a non-dual relationship, that is, there is no absolute separation, between conventional and ultimate truth, as well as between samsara and nirvana.
It is also seen as an explanation of emptiness and as an explanation of the content of the awakened mind which sees through the illusion of subject-object duality.
These basic ideas have continued to influence Mahayana Buddhist doctrinal interpretations of Buddhist traditions such as Dzogchen, Mahamudra, Zen, Huayan and Tiantai as well as concepts such as Buddha-nature, luminous mind, Indra's net, rigpa and shentong.
As Jay Garfield notes, for Nagarjuna, to understand the two truths as totally different from each other is to reify and confuse the purpose of this doctrine, since it would either destroy conventional realities such as the Buddha's teachings and the empirical reality of the world (making Madhyamaka a form of nihilism) or deny the dependent origination of phenomena (by positing eternal essences).
It does not mean that samsara and nirvana are the same, or that they are one single thing, as in Advaita Vedanta, but rather that they are both empty, open, without limits, and merely exist for the conventional purpose of teaching the Buddha Dharma.
Referring to this verse, Jay Garfield writes that:to distinguish between samsara and nirvana would be to suppose that each had a nature and that they were different natures.
Moreover, since nirvana is by definition the cessation of delusion and of grasping and, hence, of the reification of self and other and of confusing imputed phenomena for inherently real phenomena, it is by definition the recognition of the ultimate nature of things.
But if, as Nagarjuna argued in Chapter XXIV, this is simply to see conventional things as empty, not to see some separate emptiness behind them, then nirvana must be ontologically grounded in the conventional.
To be in nirvana, then, is to see those things as they are - as merely empty, dependent, impermanent, and nonsubstantial, not to be somewhere else, seeing something else.
Some scholars see it as a kind of subjective or epistemic Idealism (similar to Kant's theory) while others argue that it is closer to a kind of phenomenology or representationalism.
There various interpretations and views on Buddha nature and the concept became very influential in India, China and Tibet, where it also became a source of much debate.
This synthesis of Yogācāra tathagata-garbha became very influential in later Buddhist traditions, such as Indian Vajrayana, Chinese Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism.
Yet another development in late Indian Buddhism was the synthesis of Madhymaka and Yogacara philosophies into a single system, by figures such as Śāntarakṣita (8th century).
Buddhist Tantra, also known as Vajrayana, Mantrayana or Esoteric Buddhism, drew upon all these previous Indian Buddhist ideas and nondual philosophies to develop innovative new traditions of Buddhist practice and new religious texts called the Buddhist tantras (from the 6th century onwards).
In Buddhist Tantra, there is no strict separation between the sacred (nirvana) and the profane (samsara), and all beings are seen as containing an immanent seed of awakening or Buddhahood.
This was a result of an ontological interpretation of the two truths as well as influences from native Taoist and Confucian metaphysics.
This interpretation of the two truths as two ontological realities would go on to influence later forms of East Asian metaphysics.
As Chinese Buddhism continued to develop in new innovative directions, it gave rise to new traditions like Huayen, Tiantai and Chan (Zen), which also upheld their own unique teachings on non-duality.
Tiantai metaphysics is an immanent holism, which sees every phenomenon, moment or event as conditioned and manifested by the whole of reality.
According to this theory, any phenomenon exists only as part of the total nexus of reality, its existence depends on the total network of all other things, which are all equally connected to each other and contained in each other.
The Lankavatara-sutra, a popular sutra in Zen, endorses the Buddha-nature and emphasizes purity of mind, which can be attained in gradations.
The Prajnaparamita Sutras emphasize the non-duality of form and emptiness: form is emptiness, emptiness is form, as the Heart Sutra says.
The idea that the ultimate reality is present in the daily world of relative reality fitted into the Chinese culture which emphasized the mundane world and society.
Practice is to be continued to deepen the insight and to express it in daily life, to fully manifest the nonduality of absolute and relative.
This trajectory of initial insight followed by a gradual deepening and ripening is expressed by Linji Yixuan in his Three Mysterious Gates, the Four Ways of Knowing of Hakuin, the Five Ranks, and the Ten Ox-Herding Pictures which detail the steps on the Path.
Shentong has often been incorrectly associated with the Cittamātra (Yogacara) position, but is in fact also Madhyamaka, and is present primarily as the main philosophical theory of the Jonang school, although it is also taught by the Sakya and Kagyu schools.
The truth of sunyata is acknowledged, but not considered to be the highest truth, which is the empty nature of mind.
Sikh theology suggests human souls and the monotheistic God are two different realities (dualism), distinguishing it from the monistic and various shades of nondualistic philosophies of other Indian religions.
However, Sikh scholars have attempted to explore nondualism exegesis of Sikh scriptures, such as during the neocolonial reformist movement by Bhai Vir Singh of the Singh Sabha.
The concept of Yin and Yang, often mistakenly conceived of as a symbol of dualism, is actually meant to convey the notion that all apparent opposites are complementary parts of a non-dual whole.
Eastern movements are the Hindu reform movements such as Vivekananda's Neo-Vedanta and Aurobindo's Integral Yoga, the Vipassana movement, and Buddhist modernism.
Since its beginning, Gnosticism has been characterized by many dualisms and dualities, including the doctrine of a separate God and Manichaean (good/evil) dualism.
Some scholars suggest a possible link of more ancient Indian philosophies on Neoplatonism, while other scholars consider these claims as unjustified and extravagant with the counter hypothesis that nondualism developed independently in ancient India and Greece.
The nondualism of Advaita Vedanta and Neoplatonism have been compared by various scholars, such as J. F. Staal, Frederick Copleston, Aldo Magris and Mario Piantelli, Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Gwen Griffith-Dickson, John Y. Fenton and Dale Riepe.
The Cloud of Unknowing – an anonymous work of Christian mysticism written in Middle English in the latter half of the 14th century – advocates a mystic relationship with God.
Thomism, though not non-dual in the ordinary sense, considers the unity of God so absolute that even the duality of subject and predicate, to describe him, can be true only by analogy.
One of the most striking contributions of the Kabbalah, which became a central idea in Chasidic thought, was a highly innovative reading of the monotheistic idea.
Western esotericism (also called esotericism and esoterism) is a scholarly term for a wide range of loosely related ideas and movements which have developed within Western society.
The earliest traditions which later analysis would label as forms of Western esotericism emerged in the Eastern Mediterranean during Late Antiquity, where Hermetism, Gnosticism, and Neoplatonism developed as schools of thought distinct from what became mainstream Christianity.
The Perennial philosophy has its roots in the Renaissance interest in neo-Platonism and its idea of The One, from which all existence emanates.
Transcendentalism was an early 19th-century liberal Protestant movement that developed in the 1830s and 1840s in the Eastern region of the United States.
In the late 18th and early 19th century, the first translations of Hindu texts appeared, which were read by the Transcendentalists and influenced their thinking.
The Transcendentalists also endorsed universalist and Unitarianist ideas, leading to Unitarian Universalism, the idea that there must be truth in other religions as well, since a loving God would redeem all living beings, not just Christians.
The major figures in the movement were Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, Margaret Fuller and Amos Bronson Alcott.
Vivekananda was one of the main representatives of Neo-Vedanta, a modern interpretation of Hinduism in line with western esoteric traditions, especially Transcendentalism, New Thought and Theosophy.
His reinterpretation was, and is, very successful, creating a new understanding and appreciation of Hinduism within and outside India, and was the principal reason for the enthusiastic reception of yoga, transcendental meditation and other forms of Indian spiritual self-improvement in the West.
Ram Mohan Roy (1772-1833), the founder of the Brahmo Samaj, had a strong sympathy for the Unitarians, who were closely connected to the Transcendentalists, who in turn were interested in and influenced by Indian religions early on.
Vivekananda's acquaintance with western esotericism made him very successful in western esoteric circles, beginning with his speech in 1893 at the Parliament of Religions.
Vivekananda adapted traditional Hindu ideas and religiosity to suit the needs and understandings of his western audiences, who were especially attracted by and familiar with western esoteric traditions and movements like Transcendentalism and New thought.
In 1897 he founded the Ramakrishna Mission, which was instrumental in the spread of Neo-Vedanta in the west, and attracted people like Alan Watts.
Together with Gerald Heard, Christopher Isherwood, and other followers he was initiated by the Swami and was taught meditation and spiritual practices.
The Theosophical Society also spread western ideas in the east, aiding a modernisation of eastern traditions, and contributing to a growing nationalism in the Asian colonies.
It is the personal realization that ultimate reality is nondual, and is thought to be a validating means of knowledge of this nondual reality.
In the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, several historical figures put forth very influential views that religion and its beliefs can be grounded in experience itself.
While Kant held that moral experience justified religious beliefs, John Wesley in addition to stressing individual moral exertion thought that the religious experiences in the Methodist movement (paralleling the Romantic Movement) were foundational to religious commitment as a way of life.
Such religious empiricism would be later seen as highly problematic and was – during the period in-between world wars – famously rejected by Karl Barth.
Vani () is a town in Imereti region of western Georgia, at the Sulori river (a tributary of the Rioni river), 41 km southwest from the regional capital Kutaisi.
The town with the population of 3,744 (2014) is an administrative center of the Municipality of Vani comprising also 40 neighbouring villages (total area – 557 km²; population – 24,512, 2014).
Systematic archaeological studies (N.Khoshtaria, O.Lortkiphanidze) carried out in the Vani environs since 1947 revealed the remnants of a rich city of the ancient power of Colchis.
The second phase - end of the 7th and beginning of the 6th to the first half of the 4th century BC - is represented by cultural layers, remains of wooden structures, sacrificial altars cut in the rocky ground, and rich burials.
To the fourth phase (3rd to mid-1st centuries BC) belong defensive walls, the so-called small gate, sanctuaries and cultic buildings (temples, altars sacrificial platforms), and the remains of a foundry for casting bronze statues.
In town Vani there is an interesting museum (founded in 1985), where some unique pieces of the ancient Colchis are exhibited.
Town Hall railway station is a heritage-listed underground commuter rail station located in the centre of the Sydney central business district in New South Wales, Australia.
The station opened on 28 February 1932 and was built with six platforms, which were split over two levels with three platforms on each level.
When the station opened, only four of the platforms were in use: platforms 1, 2 and 3 on the upper level and platform 6, served by escalators, on the lower level.
The other two platforms were built in preparation for a proposed western suburbs line from the city to Gladesville, as envisaged under the Bradfield scheme.
This line was never built, and the platforms (4 and 5) remained disused until incorporated into the Eastern Suburbs line when it opened in June 1979.
The station concourse had a major restructure in 2005 when the shops inside were closed to make way for the increasing crowds.
During a refurbishment of the station in 2014, a sign pointing to an air-raid shelter was uncovered on a staircase leading to Platforms 1 and 2.
Town Hall has two platform levels, each with three platforms - physically two island platforms, but set up so that one faces two tracks and the other faces the other track.
As the platform is not wide enough, the escalators are in a cross configuration, with two at either end of the platform and another two at the centre.
The station is linked to nearby shopping centres including the Queen Victoria Building, The Galeries, Town Hall Square, Pavilion Plaza and, Woolworths Supermarket.
Town Hall station is served by bus routes operated by Forest Coach Lines, Hillsbus, State Transit, Transdev NSW and Transit Systems.
Zoë Keating (born February 2, 1972) is a Canadian-born cellist and composer once based in San Francisco, California, now based in Vermont.
In her solo performances and recordings Keating uses live electronic sampling and repetition in order to layer the sound of her cello, creating rhythmically dense musical structures.
Keating's songs have been featured in various commercials, TV shows, films, video games, and dance performances including CBS's Elementary, NBC's Crisis, So You Think You Can Dance, MTV's Teen Wolf, Dateline, Have You Heard from Johannesburg, The Day Carl Sandburg Died, Alice Walker: Beauty in Truth, The Retrieval, and The Witness.
She worked on projects at the now defunct Perspecta, Inc and the Research Libraries Group (now part of OCLC) and the Database of Recorded American Music.
In March 2010, Keating announced via her website that she was expecting her first child with her husband, Jeff Rusch, in May.
After local media publicized the story, Anthem Blue Cross reversed its decision, telling Keating in a phone call that the hospital stay would be covered.
In October 2016 she was invited to participate in a panel discussion at the Frontier’s Conference with President Barack Obama, Riccardo Sabatini.
In the course of the Second Punic War, King Syphax of the Masaesyli allied himself with the Roman Republic and the armies led by Scipio Africanus, while the Maesulians ruled by Masinissa sided with Carthage.
With the defeat and capture of Syphax by Masinissa, the western tribes were conquered and gradually absorbed into a united kingdom under his rule.
After a temporary decline, the city got some importance inside the Roman Africa, especially with African emperors Septimius Severus and Caracalla.
Based on the concept of strong rules, Rakesh Agrawal, Tomasz Imieliński and Arun Swami introduced association rules for discovering regularities between products in large-scale transaction data recorded by point-of-sale (POS) systems in supermarkets.
For example, the rule formula_1 found in the sales data of a supermarket would indicate that if a customer buys onions and potatoes together, they are likely to also buy hamburger meat.
Such information can be used as the basis for decisions about marketing activities such as, e.g., promotional pricing or product placements.
In addition to the above example from market basket analysis association rules are employed today in many application areas including Web usage mining, intrusion detection, continuous production, and bioinformatics.
In contrast with sequence mining, association rule learning typically does not consider the order of items either within a transaction or across transactions.
The set of items is formula_15 and in the table is shown a small database containing the items, where, in each entry, the value 1 means the presence of the item in the corresponding transaction, and the value 0 represents the absence of an item in that transaction.
An example rule for the supermarket could be formula_16 meaning that if butter and bread are bought, customers also buy milk.
In practical applications, a rule needs a support of several hundred transactions before it can be considered statistically significant, and datasets often contain thousands or millions of transactions.
In order to select interesting rules from the set of all possible rules, constraints on various measures of significance and interest are used.
The support of formula_11 with respect to formula_19 is defined as the proportion of transactions formula_22 in the dataset which contains the itemset formula_11.
In the example dataset, the itemset formula_25 has a support of formula_26 since it occurs in 20% of all transactions (1 out of 5 transactions).
The argument of formula_27 is a set of preconditions, and thus becomes more restrictive as it grows (instead of more inclusive).
For example, the rule formula_16 has a confidence of formula_34 in the database, which means that for 100% of the transactions containing butter and bread the rule is correct (100% of the times a customer buys butter and bread, milk is bought as well).
We can rewrite formula_35 as the probability formula_37, where formula_38 and formula_39 are the events that a transaction contains itemset formula_11 and formula_12, respectively.
Thus confidence can be interpreted as an estimate of the conditional probability formula_42, the probability of finding the RHS of the rule in transactions under the condition that these transactions also contain the LHS.
If the rule had a lift of 1, it would imply that the probability of occurrence of the antecedent and that of the consequent are independent of each other.
If the lift is > 1, that lets us know the degree to which those two occurrences are dependent on one another, and makes those rules potentially useful for predicting the consequent in future data sets.
For example, the rule formula_44 has a conviction of formula_48, and can be interpreted as the ratio of the expected frequency that X occurs without Y (that is to say, the frequency that the rule makes an incorrect prediction) if X and Y were independent divided by the observed frequency of incorrect predictions.
In this example, the conviction value of 1.2 shows that the rule formula_44 would be incorrect 20% more often (1.25 times as often) if the association between X and Y was purely random chance.
The set of possible itemsets is the power set over formula_6 and has size formula_51 (excluding the empty set which is not a valid itemset).
The concept of association rules was popularised particularly due to the 1993 article of Agrawal et al., which has acquired more than 18,000 citations according to Google Scholar, as of August 2015, and is thus one of the most cited papers in the Data Mining field.
An early (circa 1989) use of minimum support and confidence to find all association rules is the Feature Based Modeling framework, which found all rules with formula_54 and formula_55 greater than user defined constraints.
One limitation of the standard approach to discovering associations is that by searching massive numbers of possible associations to look for collections of items that appear to be associated, there is a large risk of finding many spurious associations.
For example, suppose we are considering a collection of 10,000 items and looking for rules containing two items in the left-hand-side and 1 item in the right-hand-side.
If we apply a statistical test for independence with a significance level of 0.05 it means there is only a 5% chance of accepting a rule if there is no association.
Some well-known algorithms are Apriori, Eclat and FP-Growth, but they only do half the job, since they are algorithms for mining frequent itemsets.
Apriori uses a breadth-first search strategy to count the support of itemsets and uses a candidate generation function which exploits the downward closure property of support.
In the first pass, the algorithm counts the occurrences of items (attribute-value pairs) in the dataset of transactions, and stores these counts in a 'header table'.
Items in each transaction have to be sorted by descending order of their frequency in the dataset before being inserted so that the tree can be processed quickly.
Recursive processing of this compressed version of the main dataset grows frequent item sets directly, instead of generating candidate items and testing them against the entire database (as in the apriori algorithm).
The supports of all nodes in the projected tree are re-counted with each node getting the sum of its children counts.
OPUS is an efficient algorithm for rule discovery that, in contrast to most alternatives, does not require either monotone or anti-monotone constraints such as minimum support.
Initially used to find rules for a fixed consequent it has subsequently been extended to find rules with any item as a consequent.
A purported survey of behavior of supermarket shoppers discovered that customers (presumably young men) who buy diapers tend also to buy beer.
In 1992, Thomas Blischok, manager of a retail consulting group at Teradata, and his staff prepared an analysis of 1.2 million market baskets from about 25 Osco Drug stores.
Weighted class learning is another form of associative learning in which weight may be assigned to classes to give focus to a particular issue of concern for the consumer of the data mining results.
K-optimal pattern discovery provides an alternative to the standard approach to association rule learning that requires that each pattern appear frequently in the data.
Approximate Frequent Itemset mining is a relaxed version of Frequent Itemset mining that allows some of the items in some of the rows to be 0.
Sequential pattern mining discovers subsequences that are common to more than minsup sequences in a sequence database, where minsup is set by the user.
Subspace Clustering, a specific type of Clustering high-dimensional data, is in many variants also based on the downward-closure property for specific clustering models.
Krivda has since recorded numerous additional albums, eighteen in all, and has appeared at such prestigious venues as The Kool Jazz Festival, The North Sea Jazz Festival and at Carnegie Hall.
He remains active in education as Artistic Director of The Cuyahoga Community College Jazz Studies Program in Cleveland, Ohio and touring clinician for The Yamaha Instrument Company.
Among his gigs was a tribute to Stan Getz at Cleveland's Severance Hall, home of The Cleveland Orchestra at which Krivda played Eddie Sauter's FOCUS.
He continues to be the subject of articles in national publications, such as Down Beat and Jazz Times Magazine, and his work is documented in The Encyclopedia of Jazz and many Jazz Record Guides.
General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS) is a discrete time simulation general-purpose programming language, where a simulation clock advances in discrete steps.
It is used primarily as a process flow oriented simulation language; this is particularly well-suited for problems such as a factory.
Over time, other implementations, in other languages and targeted at different size systems, were developed, including DEC's VAX, a specialized APL version for large-scale Univac systems, and Macintosh, among others.
Blocks can be facility-oriented (such as machines in a job shop) or transaction-oriented (such parts of work-in-process, signals in electronic components or documents in a bureaucratic procedure).
GPSS is one of the oldest language candidate of first object-oriented approach because while transactions are truly instances of model objects, blocks are methods in the modern concept of OOP.
Customers arrive in a random constant flow, enter the shop, queue if the barber is busy, get their hair cut on a first-come first-served basis, and then leave the shop.
The codice_3 block creates a flow of Transactions and schedules them to enter the model with an inter-arrival time uniformly distributed over the range 18±6.
It is the programmer's responsibility to interpret these transaction as customers and to understand that the time is to be counted in minutes.
The Transactions start their existence in the codice_3 block and progress from Block to Block, according to certain rules, until they reach a codice_5 which remove them from the model.
Normally transactions progress from one block to the next one, so the customer transactions will leave the codice_3 block to enter the codice_7 block.
In the example, it materialize a line of chairs and, at the end of the simulation, we will know, among other things, the maximum queue size (how many chairs are needed) and the average waiting time.
The codice_8 block requires the name of the queue as a parameter, because more than one queue may exist in the model.
GPSS remembers which transactions are in the queue, so that it possible to know the average time spent, and to check that no buggy transaction is leaving a queue without previously entering in it.
If it is free, or as soon as it becomes available, the transaction will be allowed to capture the facility, mark it as busy to others transactions and start to count the service time and other statistics, until the same transaction passes the corresponding codice_14 block.
They can model operators, like a barber, a repairman, an agent, but also pieces of equipment, like a crane, a gas station, an authorization document, etc., in fact anything with capacity one.
To simulate multiple parallel servers, like a team of five barbers, or an oven with a capacity of 10, GPSS uses entities named codice_17s.
After a customer seizes Joe, she proceeds to the next statement which is codice_18, whose task is to freeze the entity for a prescribed length of time, here a random number picked between 16-4=12 and 16+4=20mn.
During that time, other transactions will be allowed to move through the model, blocking some other facilities that may exist in the model, but not Joe because this facility is busy with the frozen customer.
Then the next transaction on the previous block, that is a customer sitting on a chair, will be able to codice_11.
In the example, it is set to one, thus the simulation will finish after one run of 480 mn in simulated time.
It indicates that Joe was busy 86.0% of the time, gave a hair cut to 26 customers and that hair cut took 15.88 minutes on the average.
It indicates also that a maximum of 1 customer was observed waiting his turn, in fact the number of waiting customer was on the average 0.160.
A total of 27 customers did enter the queue, so that customer number 27 was still sitting, waiting his turn, when Joe closed the shop.
The average waiting time was 2.851 min, and the average waiting time for the 15=27-12 customers who did really wait was 5.133 min.
The series reveals that when exposed to individuals from the normal universe, the Terran Empire began to reform itself for the better, but was overthrown in the 23rd century by an alliance of alien species who took advantage of the Empire's self-weakening and conquered it, enslaving humans and Vulcans in the process.
The point of divergence initially appears to be the Eugenics Wars where the genetic supermen were not defeated and eventually turned on each other resulting in atomic war, but works dating back to the days of ancient Greece supporting the Empire's current mindset are noted.
This version postulates the divergence of history to start at the time of the Earth-Romulan War, with the conquest of Earth by the Romulans; after Earth's liberation, the resistance became an empire-building government.
It is administered by the Tasman District Council, a unitary authority, which sits at Richmond, with community boards serving outlying communities in Motueka and Golden Bay / Mohua.
The city of Nelson has its own unitary authority separate from Tasman District, and together they comprise a single region in some contexts, but not for local government functions or resource management (planning) functions.
Tasman District is a large area at the western corner of the north end of the South Island of New Zealand.
It covers 9,786 square kilometres and is bounded on the west by the Matiri Ranges, Tasman Mountains and the Tasman Sea.
To the north Tasman and Golden Bays form its seaward edge, and the eastern boundary extends to the edge of Nelson city, and includes part of the Spencer Mountains and the Saint Arnaud and Richmond Ranges.
The landscape is diverse, from large mountainous areas to valleys and plains, and is sliced by such major rivers as the Buller, Motueka, Aorere, Takaka and Wairoa.
The limestone-rich area around Mount Owen and Mount Arthur is notable for its extensive cave networks, among them New Zealand's deepest caves at Ellis Basin and Nettlebed.
There is abundant bush and bird life, golden sand beaches, the unique 40-kilometre sands of Farewell Spit, and good fishing in the bays and rivers.
Tasman is home to three national parks: Abel Tasman National Park (New Zealand's smallest at 225.41 km²), Nelson Lakes National Park (1,017.53 km²) and Kahurangi National Park (4,520 km²).
The sub-national GDP of the Nelson region (Tasman District and Nelson City) was estimated at US$2.343 billion in 2003, 2% of New Zealand's national GDP.
Tasman Bay, the largest indentation in the north coast of the South Island, was named after Dutch seafarer, explorer and merchant Abel Tasman.
He was the first European to discover New Zealand on 13 December 1642 while on an expedition for the Dutch East India Company.
Tasman Bay passed the name on to the adjoining district, which was formed in 1989 largely from the merger of Waimea and Golden Bay counties.
Archaeological evidence suggests the first Māori settlers explored the region thoroughly, settling mainly along the coast where there was ample food.
Around 1828, Ngati Toa under Te Rauparaha and the allied northern tribes of Ngati Rarua and Ngati Tama, started their invasion of the South Island.
The first immigrant ships from England arrived in Nelson in 1842 and the European settlement of the region began under the leadership of Captain Arthur Wakefield.
This is mainly due to the lack of large urban areas and 58% of the area constituting lands covered by national parks.
The main iwi represented in the wider Tasman region are Ngati Rarua, Ngati Tama (Golden Bay / Mohua and Tasman Bay), Te Atiawa, Ngati Koata, Ngati Kuia (eastern Tasman Bay) and the Poutini Ngai Tahu (southern areas).
In Tasman District, German is the second most-spoken language after English, whereas in the rest of New Zealand Māori is the second most-spoken language.
Tourism in the United States grew rapidly in the form of urban tourism during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
New York City, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, all major U.S. cities, attracted numerous tourists by the 1890s.
Purchases of travel and tourism-related goods and services by international visitors traveling in the United States totaled $10.9 billion during February 2013.
The travel and tourism industries in the United States were among the first economic sectors negatively affected by the September 11, 2001 attacks.
In the U.S., tourism is among the three largest employers in 29 states, employing 7.3 million in 2004, to take care of 1.19 billion trips tourists took in the U.S. in 2005.
As of 2018, New York City is the most visited destination in the United States, followed by Los Angeles, Orlando, Las Vegas, and Chicago.
Tourists spend more money in the United States than any other country, while attracting the second-highest number of tourists after France and Spain.
The rise of urban tourism in the United States during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries represented a major cultural transformation concerning urban space, leisure natural activity and as an industry.package tours did not exist until the 1870s and 1880s, entrepreneurs of various sorts from hotel keepers and agents for railroad lines to artists and writers recognized the profit to be gained from the prospering tourism industry.
In the United States of track had been completed by 1840, by 1860 all major eastern US cities were linked by rail, and by 1869 the first trans-American railroad link was completed.
Yosemite Park was developed as a tourist attraction in the late 1850s and early 1860s for an audience who wanted a national icon and place to symbolize exotic wonder of its region.
Photography played an important role for the first time in the development of tourist attractions, making it possible to distribute hundreds of images showing various places of interest.
New York City, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, all major US cities, attracted numerous tourists by the 1890s.
Dictionaries first published the word 'tourist' sometime in 1800, when it referred to those going to Europe or making a round trip of natural wonders in New York and New England.
The absence of urban tourism during the nineteenth century was in part because American cities lacked the architecture and art which attracted thousands to Europe.
The Hartford, Connecticut American School for the Deaf opened in 1817, Ossining, New York state prison (now known as Sing Sing) in 1825, the Connecticut State Penitentiary at Wethersfield in 1827, Mount Auburn Cemetery in 1831, the Perkins School for the Blind in 1832, and the Worcester State Hospital in 1833.
The English writer and actress Fanny Kemble was an admirer of the American prison system who was also concerned that nature was being destroyed in favor of new developments.
Guidebooks published in the 1830s, 40s and 50s described new prisons, asylums and institutions for the deaf and blind, and urged tourists to visit these sights.
Accounts of these visits written by Charles Dickens, Harriet Martineau, Lydia Sigourney and Caroline Gilman were published in magazines and travel books.
Urban tourism became a profitable industry in 1915 as the number of tour agencies, railroad passenger departments, guidebook publishers and travel writers grew at a fast pace.
The expense of pleasure tours meant that only the minority of Americans between 1850 and 1915 could experience the luxury of tourism.
Early cars were a luxury for the wealthy, but after Ford began to dramatically drop prices after 1913, more were able to afford one.
Although thousands of tourists visited Florida during the early 1900s, it was not until after World War II that the tourist industry quickly became Florida's largest source of income.
Florida's white sandy beaches, warm winter temperatures and wide range of activities such as swimming, fishing, boating and hiking all attracted tourists to the state.
In that quarter century, commercial aviation evolved from 28-passenger airliners flying at less than to 150-passenger jetliners cruising continents at .
During this time, air travel in the U.S. evolved from a novelty into a routine for business travelers and vacationers alike.
Rapid developments in aviation technology, economic prosperity in the United States and the demand for air travel all contributed to the early beginnings of commercial aviation in the US.
This was also helped by the establishment of the Interstate Highway System as well as the reliance of automobiles of which Americans saw cars as their new personal found freedom and enjoyment.
The tourism industry in the U.S. experienced exponential growth as tourists could travel almost anywhere with a fast, reliable and routine system.
Air travel changed everything from family vacations to Major League Baseball, as had steam-powered trains in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
The World Tourism Organisation (WTO, 1998) recorded that, in 1950, arrivals of tourists from abroad, excluding same-day visits, numbered about 25.2 million.
The travel and tourism industry in the United States was among the first commercial casualties of the September 11 attacks, a series of terrorist attacks on the U.S.
Terrorists used four commercial airliners as weapons of destruction, all of which were destroyed in the attacks on New York City, Washington, D.C., and in Pennsylvania with nearly 3,000 deaths.
In the first full week after flights resumed, passenger numbers fell by nearly 45 percent, from 9 million in the week before September 11 to 5 million.
The U.S. Congress issued a $5 billion grant to the nation's airlines and $10 billion in loan guarantees to keep them flying.
In the U.S., tourism is either the first, second or third largest employer in 29 states, employing 7.3 million in 2004, to take care of 1.19 billion trips tourists took in the U.S. in 2005.
The U.S. outbound holiday market is sensitive in the short term, but possibly one of the most surprising results from the September 11, 2001 attacks was that by February 2002 it had bounced back.
The United States economy began to slow significantly in 2007, mostly because of a real-estate slump, gas prices and related financial problems.
Today, there exists a wide range of tourist attractions in the United States such as amusement parks, festivals, gambling, golf courses, historical buildings and landmarks, hotels, museums, galleries, outdoor recreation, spas, restaurants and sports.
After many persons had been killed in various mass shootings in the US, Amnesty International issued a travel warning in August 2019.
Quadtrees are the two-dimensional analog of octrees and are most often used to partition a two-dimensional space by recursively subdividing it into four quadrants or regions.
The data in a tree-pyramid can be stored compactly in an array as an implicit data structure similar to the way a complete binary tree can be stored compactly in an array.
Quadtrees may also be classified by whether the shape of the tree is independent of the order in which data is processed.
The region quadtree represents a partition of space in two dimensions by decomposing the region into four equal quadrants, subquadrants, and so on with each leaf node containing data corresponding to a specific subregion.
subdividing subquadrants as long as there is interesting data in the subquadrant for which more refinement is desired) is sensitive to and dependent on the spatial distribution of interesting areas in the space being decomposed.
A region quadtree with a depth of n may be used to represent an image consisting of 2 × 2 pixels, where each pixel value is 0 or 1.
Note the potential savings in terms of space when these trees are used for storing images; images often have many regions of considerable size that have the same colour value throughout.
Rather than store a big 2-D array of every pixel in the image, a quadtree can capture the same information potentially many divisive levels higher than the pixel-resolution sized cells that we would otherwise require.
For example, the temperatures in an area may be stored as a quadtree, with each leaf node storing the average temperature over the subregion it represents.
If a region quadtree is used to represent a set of point data (such as the latitude and longitude of a set of cities), regions are subdivided until each leaf contains at most a single point.
It shares the features of all quadtrees but is a true tree as the center of a subdivision is always on a point.
The new point is added such that the cell that contains it is divided into quadrants by the vertical and horizontal lines that run through the point.
Since the division of the plane is decided by the order of point-insertion, the tree's height is sensitive to and dependent on insertion order.
In a region quadtree, a uniform value is stored that applies to the entire area of the cell of a leaf.
Curves are approximated by subdividing cells to a very fine resolution, specifically until there is a single line segment per cell.
The polygonal map quadtree (or PM Quadtree) is a variation of quadtree which is used to store collections of polygons that may be degenerate (meaning that they have isolated vertices or edges).
Finally PM1 quadtrees are similar to PM2, but black nodes can contain a point and its edges or just a set of edges that share a point, but you cannot have a point and a set of edges that do not contain the point.
If we were to store every node corresponding to a subdivided cell, we may end up storing a lot of empty nodes.
We can cut down on the size of such sparse trees by only storing subtrees whose leaves have interesting data (i.e.
When we only keep important subtrees, the pruning process may leave long paths in the tree where the intermediate nodes have degree two (a link to one parent and one child).
It turns out that we only need to store the node formula_1 at the beginning of this path (and associate some meta-data with it to represent the removed nodes) and attach the subtree rooted at its end to formula_1.
Therefore, we can store the quadtree in a data structure for ordered sets (in which we store the nodes of the tree).
We must state a reasonable assumption before we continue: we assume that given two real numbers formula_5 expressed as binary, we can compute in formula_3 time the index of the first bit in which they differ.
Without going into specific details, to perform insertions and deletions we first do a point location for the thing we want to insert/delete, and then insert/delete it.
We will limit our discussion to binary image data, though region quadtrees and the image processing operations performed on them are just as suitable for colour images.
One of the advantages of using quadtrees for image manipulation is that the set operations of union and intersection can be done simply and quickly.
Rather than do the operation pixel by pixel, we can compute the union more efficiently by leveraging the quadtree's ability to represent multiple pixels with a single node.
For the purposes of discussion below, if a subtree contains both black and white pixels we will say that the root of that subtree is coloured grey.
For example, consider the result if we were to union a checkerboard (where every tile is a pixel) of size formula_38 with its complement.
The result is a giant black square which should be represented by a quadtree with just the root node (coloured black), but instead the algorithm produces a full 4-ary tree of depth formula_39.
To fix this, we perform a bottom-up traversal of the resulting quadtree where we check if the four children nodes have the same colour, in which case we replace their parent with a leaf of the same colour.
Using the quadtree representation of images, Samet showed how we can find and label these connected components in time proportional to the size of the quadtree.
Since we can count on this structure, for any cell we know how to navigate the quadtree to find the adjacent cells in the different levels of the hierarchy.
For each black leaf formula_14 we look at the node or nodes representing cells that are Northern neighbours and Eastern neighbours (i.e.
This means that the quadtree levels of leaves adjacent to formula_14 differ by at most one from the level of formula_14.
Note that due to the way in which we separated points with the well-balancing property, no square with a corner intersecting a side is one that was warped.
If there is one intersected side, the square becomes three triangles by adding the long diagonals connecting the intersection with opposite corners.
If there are four intersected sides, we split the square in half by adding an edge between two of the four intersections, and then connect these two endpoints to the remaining two intersection points.
For the other squares, we introduce a point in the middle and connect it to all four corners of the square as well as each intersection point.
Since 1998, FSF has granted the award for Advancement of Free Software and since 2005, also the Free Software Award for Projects of Social Benefit.
From 2001 to 2005, the award has been presented in Brussels at the Free and Open source Software Developers' European Meeting (FOSDEM).
This is annually presented by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) to a person whom it deems to have made a great contribution to the progress and development of free software, through activities that accord with the spirit of free software.
According to Richard Stallman, former President of FSF, the award was inspired by the Sahana project which was developed, and was used, for organising the transfer of aid to tsunami victims in Sri Lanka after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.
L. Peter Deutsch (born Laurence Peter Deutsch on August 7, 1946, in Boston, Massachusetts) is the founder of Aladdin Enterprises and creator of Ghostscript, a free software PostScript and Portable Document Format interpreter.
From 1964 to 1967, during his study at the University of California, Berkeley, he worked with Butler Lampson and Charles P. Thacker on the Berkeley Timesharing System, which became the standard operating system for the SDS 940 mainframe that would later be used by Tymshare, NLS, and Community Memory.
Deutsch is the author of several Request for Comments (RFCs), The Eight Fallacies of Distributed Computing, and originated the Deutsch limit adage about visual programming languages.
Deutsch received a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley in 1973, and has previously worked at Xerox PARC and Sun Microsystems.
As of mid-2011, he has had six compositions performed at public concerts, and now generally identifies himself as a composer rather than a software developer or engineer.
He was born and died in Ferrara, and despite evidence of travels to Rome it is assumed that Luzzaschi spent the majority of his life in his native city.
He was a skilled representative of the late Italian madrigal style, along with Palestrina, Wert, Monte, Lassus, Marenzio, Gesualdo and others.
His facility as a keyboard player must have been paramount, for his competence on Nicola Vicentino's microtonal archicembalo was actively documented throughout his career.
In addition to his duties as court organist, as director for the ensemble he composed expert madrigals that required virtuosic vocal skill and advanced musicianship.
While reference to three books of four-voice ricercars by Luzzaschi indicates that he was actively composing instrumental work, the books themselves appear to be lost.
Gabriel Léon M'ba (9 February 1902 – 28 November 1967) was a Gabonese politician who served as both the first Prime Minister (1959–1961) and President (1961–1967) of Gabon.
After studying at a seminary, he held a number of small jobs before entering the colonial administration as a customs agent.
His political activism in favor of black people worried the French administration, and as a punishment for his activities, he was issued a prison sentence after committing a minor crime that normally would have resulted in a small fine.
After being accused of complicity in the murder of a woman near Libreville, he was sentenced in 1931 to three years in prison and 10 years in exile.
Political nemesis Jean-Hilaire Aubame briefly assumed the office of president through a coup d'état in February 1964, but order was restored days later when the French intervened.
M'ba was reelected in March 1967, but died of cancer in November 1967 and was succeeded by his vice president, Albert-Bernard Bongo.
His father, a small business manager and village chief, once worked as the hairdresser to Franco-Italian explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza.
From 1920, he was employed as a store manager, a lumberjack and trader before entering the French colonial administration as a customs agent.
His remarks upset authorities, and he suffered the consequences in December 1922, when he was sentenced to prison after having committed a minor crime of providing a colleague with falsified documents.
As the leader of a group of young Libreville intellectuals, he ignored the advice of elder Fangs and quickly gained a reputation as a strong, confident, and able-minded man.
With his colleague Ambamamy, he forced labour on the residents of the canton for his personal use, to cover his large expenditures.
However, beginning in 1929, the colonial administration started to investigate his activities after they intercepted one of his letters to a Kouyaté, secretary for the Ligue des droits de l'homme, who was accused of being an ally of the Comintern.
Despite this suspected Communist alliance, the French authorities did not oppose M'ba's appointment as head chief of the Estuaire Province by his colleagues.
In those years, M'ba, a member of the Ligue, distanced himself from Roman Catholicism, but did not break completely with his faith.
Accused of complicity, even though his involvement in the crime was not proven, M'ba was removed from power and sentenced to three years in prison and ten years of exile.
While exiled in the French territory of Oubangui-Chari, first in the towns of Bambari and then Bria, he continued to exert influence among Fangs via correspondence with his compatriots in Libreville.
Worried by the situation, Governor-General Antonetti ordered in 1934, at the end of his prison sentence, that M'ba be placed under surveillance.
Thanks to praiseworthy reports from his superiors, he was once again seen as a reliable indigenous element on which the colonial administration could rely on.
That same year, he founded the Gabonese Mixed Committee (CMG), a political party close to the African Democratic Rally (RDA), an inter-African party led by Félix Houphouët-Boigny.
The party's main objective was to obtain autonomy for its member states and oppose the Senegalese leader Léopold Sédar Senghor's idea of federalism.
Playing on his past as a former exile, and through the network of Bwiti followers, M'ba managed to rally support from the Fang and Myènè peoples.
Based on his success in Libreville, M'ba aspired, at one point, to become the head of the region, an idea which many notable Fangs supported during the Pahouin congress at Mitzic in February 1947.
Due to his relations with the RDA, which was linked to the French Communist Party, M'Ba was seen as a communist and propagandist in the colony; for the authorities, these suspicions had been confirmed when M'ba was involved in the 1949 RDA congress in Abidjan.
In 1951, the CMG decided to break its ties with the Communists, siding with the moderate position favored by Houphouët-Boigny while he did the same.
However, the administration was already supporting his main opponent, Congressman Jean-Hilaire Aubame, who was M'ba's protégé and his half-brother's foster son.
In the legislative elections of 17 June 1951, Aubame was easily re-elected, as M'ba only received 3,257 votes, just 11% of the electorate.
In the territorial elections of March 1952, Aubame's Gabonese Democratic and Social Union (UDSG) won 14 of the 24 contested seats, against two for the CMG; however, the CMG received 57% of the votes cast in Libreville.
He left the CMG to join the Gabonese Democratic Bloc (BDG) led by Paul Gondjout in 1954, whom M'ba intended to overthrow.
Though not elected, M'ba became the leader of the indigenous territory, and some of the UDSG began to ally themselves with him.
In the municipal elections of 1956, M'ba received support from the French logging industry, especially Roland Bru, and was elected mayor of Libreville with 65.5% of the vote.
However, in the absence of an absolute majority, both parties were obliged to submit on 21 May 1957, a list of individuals that both agreed were suitable for election into the government.
Soon, divisions grew within the government, and Aubame resigned from his position and filed a motion of censure against the government.
With M'ba's victory, many elected UDSG members joined the parliamentary majority, giving the party a majority with 29 of the 40 legislative seats.
After voting in favor of the Franco-African Community, similar to the British Commonwealth, in the constitutional referendum of 28 September 1958, Gabon became pseudo-politically independent.
French journalist Pierre Péan asserted that M'ba secretly tried to prevent Gabonese independence; instead, he lobbied for it to become an overseas territory of France.
In December 1958, the Assembly voted to establish the legislature, and then promulgated the constitution of the Republic of Gabon on 19 February 1959.
After M'ba openly declared for the departmentalization of Gabon in November 1959, Jacques Foccart, Charles de Gaulle's spin-doctor for African policy, told him that this solution was unthinkable.
M'ba then decided to adopt a new flag by affixing the design of the national tree, the Angouma, over the French flag.
From July 1958, a third political force tried to establish itself in Gabon: the Parti d'Union Nationale Gabonais (PUNGA), led by René-Paul Sousatte and Jean-Jacques Boucavel, created attempting to unite the southern Gabonese against the established BDG and UDSG.
Though it voted against the constitutional referendum, PUNGA organised several events geared toward gaining independence and the holding of more parliamentary elections, which were also supported by the UDSG.
In March 1960, after independence had already been obtained, M'ba cracked down on PUNGA, claiming its goal had already been reached.
He filed an arrest warrant for Sousatte for conspiring against him and searched the houses of UDSG members, who he accused of complicity.
In the month before full political independence of Gabon was achieved on 13 August, M'ba signed 15 cooperation agreements with France, pertaining to national defense, technical cooperation, economic support, access to materials, and national stability.
M'ba aspired to establish a democratic regime, which, in his view, was necessary for the development and attraction of investments in Gabon.
A cult of personality developed steadily around M'ba; songs were sung in his praise and stamps and loincloths were printed with his effigy.
After deciding to reshuffle the cabinet without consulting Parliament, the president of the National Assembly, Paul Gondjout, a previous ally of M'ba's, filed a motion of censure.
Gondjout supposedly hoped to benefit from a balance of power modified to his own advantage, and specifically sought the establishment of a strong parliament and a prime minister with executive power.
On 16 November, under the pretext of a conspiracy, he declared a state of emergency, ordering the internment of eight BDG opponents and the dissolution of the National Assembly the day after.
M'ba now had full executive powers: he could appoint ministers whose functions and responsibilities were decided by him; he could dissolve the National Assembly by choice or prolong its term beyond the normal five years; he could declare a state of emergency when he believed the need arose, though for this amendment he would have to consult the people via a referendum.
The new constitution and the National Union (a political union they founded) suspended the quarrels between M'ba and Aubame from 1961 to 1963.
Despite this, political unrest grew within the population, and many students held demonstrations on the frequent dissolutions of the National Assembly and the general political attitude in the country.
On 19 February, he broke his ties with Aubame; all UDSG representatives were dismissed, with the exception of M'ba supporter Francis Meye.
In an attempt to oust Aubame from his legislative seat, M'ba appointed him President of the Supreme Court on 25 February.
The new head of government quickly contacted French ambassador Paul Cousseran, to assure him that the property of foreign nationals was protected and to ask him to prevent any French military intervention.
Since M'ba was otherwise occupied, the French contacted the Vice President of Gabon, Paul Marie Yembit, who had not been arrested.
However, he remained unaccounted for; therefore, they decided to compose a predated letter that Yembit would later sign, confirming their intervention.
Less than 24 hours later, French troops stationed in Dakar and Brazzaville landed in Libreville and restored M'ba back into power.
Despite the fact that he did not participate in the planning of the coup, Aubame was sentenced at his trial to 10 years of hard labor and 10 years of exile.
The major opposition parties were deprived of their leaders, who were prevented from participating in the elections due to their involvement in the coup.
The UDSG disappeared from the political scene, and the opposition consisted of parties that lacked national focus and maintained only regional or pro-democracy platforms.
The opposition still won 46% of the votes and 16 of 47 seats, while the BDG received 54% of the vote and 31 seats in the assembly.
The oil groups, active in the country since 1957, had strengthened their interests in 1962 after the discovery of offshore oil deposits.
They carried such influence in Gabon that following the February 1964 coup, the decision to seek military intervention was taken by the CEO of Union Générale des Pétroles (UGP; now known as Elf Aquitaine), Pierre Guillaumat, Foccart, and other French businessmen and leaders.
Later on, another UGP executive, Guy Ponsaillé, was appointed as political adviser to the president and became M'ba's representative in discussions with French companies.
However, the Gabonese president was afraid of internal strife or assassination, so he remained secluded inside his heavily defended presidential palace.
Ponsaillé helped M'ba obtain support from political moderates and accompanied him in his visits around the country in order to restore his reputation among the Gabonese people.
After a few months of misunderstandings with de Quirielle, M'ba contacted Foccart to tell him that he could no longer work with the Ambassador.
They found the perfect candidate in Albert Bernard Bongo (later known as Alhaji Omar Bongo Ondimba), a young leader in the President's cabinet.
Confirmed as M'ba's successor, Bongo was appointed on 24 September 1965 as Presidential Representative and placed in charge of defence and coordination.
Only after a long insistence by Foccart did M'ba agree to appoint Bongo as Vice President in replacement of Yembit, announcing his decision through a radio and television message recorded in his room on 14 November 1966.
Since no one dared to stand on the opposition ticket, M'ba was reelected with 99.9% of the vote, while the BDG won all seats in the Assembly.
On 28 November 1967, just days after he took his presidential oath at the Gabonese embassy, M'ba died of cancer in Paris, where he had been treated since August of that year.
President Bongo laid the cornerstone for the Memorial on 9 February 2007, and it was inaugurated by Bongo on 27 November 2007.
It stars Haley Joel Osment as Trevor, Helen Hunt as his alcoholic single mother Arlene McKinney, and Kevin Spacey as his physically and emotionally scarred social studies teacher Eugene Simonet.
The film was released on October 20, 2000 to mixed reviews, with most critics praising the acting, writing, music and cinematography but criticizing the story and accusing it of excessive emotional manipulation, particularly in its ending.
His social studies teacher Eugene Simonet (Kevin Spacey) gives the class an assignment to devise and put into action a plan that will change the world for the better.
His first good deed is to let a homeless man named Jerry (Jim Caviezel) live in his garage, and Jerry pays the favor forward by doing car repairs for Trevor's mother.
Trevor's efforts appear to fail when Jerry relapses into drug addiction, but Jerry pays his debt forward later by talking to a suicidal woman, who is about to jump off a bridge.
This also appears to fail until Trevor and Arlene argue about her love for Ricky (Jon Bon Jovi), her alcoholic ex-husband, and she slaps him in a fit of anger.
The two adults are brought together again when Trevor runs away from home, and Arlene asks Eugene to help her find him.
Arlene accepts Eugene's physical disfigurement and forms an emotional bond with him, but quickly abandons their relationship when Ricky returns to her, claiming to have quit drinking.
His return and her acceptance of it angers Eugene, whose own mother had a habit of taking his abusive, alcoholic father back.
When Arlene attempts to explain to Eugene that she believes Ricky has changed, Eugene explains that his scars are the result of his father setting him on fire in a drunken rage.
After her date with Eugene, Arlene paid Jerry's favor forward by forgiving her own mother, Grace (Angie Dickinson), for her mistakes in raising Arlene, and Grace, who is homeless, helps a gang member escape from the police.
He pays it forward to Adam by rushing into the scene and fighting the bullies while Eugene and Arlene rush to stop him.
Leslie Dixon adapted the screenplay from the book of the same name by Catherine Ryan Hyde, which was available as an open writing assignment.
Dixon presented the idea to Hyde who in turn liked it so much that she decided to change the then unpublished novel's plot structure to mirror the film's.
Filming took place on location in Las Vegas, Nevada and on studio in Los Angeles, California, with additional shooting (for the bridge scene) taking place in Portland, Oregon.
The film's soundtrack was composed by Thomas Newman and was released by Varèse Sarabande on October 7, 2000 (around two weeks before the film's release).
As it is, we get a better movie than we might have, because the performances are so good: Spacey as a vulnerable and wounded man, Hunt as a woman no less wounded in her own way, and Osment, once again proving himself the equal of adult actors in the complexity and depth of his performance.
Despite his diminutive stature, he was one of the most accomplished power hitters in the game during the late 1920s and early 1930s.
His 1930 season with the Cubs is widely considered one of the most memorable individual single-season hitting performances in baseball history.
Highlights included 56 home runs, the National League record for 68 years; and 191 runs batted in, a mark yet to be surpassed.
While Wilson's combativeness and excessive alcohol consumption made him one of the most colorful sports personalities of his era, his drinking and fighting undoubtedly contributed to a premature end to his athletic career and, ultimately, his premature death.
His parents never married; both were heavy drinkers, and in 1907 his mother died of appendicitis at the age of 24.
In 1916 Lewis left school to take a job at a locomotive factory, swinging a sledge hammer for four dollars a week.
Although only five feet six inches tall, he weighed 195 pounds with an 18-inch neck, and feet that fit into size-five-and-one-half shoes.
While his unusual physique was considered an oddity at the time, his large head, tiny feet, short legs and broad, flat face are now recognized as hallmarks of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
After breaking his leg while sliding into home plate during his first professional game, he was moved from the catcher's position to the outfield.
At the age of 23, Wilson made his major league debut with the Giants on September 29, 1923 and became the starting left fielder the following season.
He ended the season with a .295 average, 10 home runs, and 57 runs batted in (RBIs) as New York won the NL pennant.
Giants teammate Bill Cunningham claimed that the nickname was based on Wilson's resemblance to Hack Miller, an outfielder with the Chicago Cubs.
Early in the 1925 season Wilson hit the longest home run on record at Ebbets Field against the Brooklyn Robins, but fell into a slump in May, and was replaced in left field by Irish Meusel.
On July 2 he hit two home runs in one inning, tying Ken Williams' major league record set in 1922, but his hitting slump continued.
At season's end, a front office oversight—or possibly, deliberate inaction—left him unprotected on the Toledo roster, and the last-place Chicago Cubs acquired him on waivers.
On May 24 he hit the center field scoreboard with one of the longest home runs in Wrigley Field history as the Cubs came from behind to defeat the Boston Braves.
Later that evening he made news again when he was arrested during a police raid of a Prohibition-era speakeasy while trying to escape through the rear window, and was fined one dollar.
He ended the season with a league-leading 21 home runs along with 36 doubles, 109 RBIs, a .321 batting average, and a .406 on-base percentage.
The Cubs improved to fourth place, and Wilson ended the year ranked fifth in voting for the NL's Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award.
Although the Cubs were in first place heading into the final month of the season, the team faltered and again finished fourth.
He led the NL in home runs for a third consecutive year in 1928 with 31, along with 120 RBIs and a .313 average as the Cubs improved to third place.
On June 22, 1928, a near-riot broke out in the ninth inning at Wrigley Field against the St. Louis Cardinals when Wilson jumped into the box seats to attack a heckling fan.
The following year he took offense at a remark by Cincinnati Reds pitcher Ray Kolp, and – upon reaching first base after hitting a single – he charged into the Reds dugout, punching Kolp several times before they could be separated.
In late 1929 he signed a contract to fight Art Shires of the Chicago White Sox in a boxing match, but reneged after Cubs president William Veeck, Sr. enlisted Hack's wife Virginia to dissuade him, and then Shires lost a fight to George Trafton of the Chicago Bears.
He and new teammate Rogers Hornsby (who also contributed 39 home runs) led the Cubs to their first NL pennant in eleven years.
In the World Series against Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics, Wilson's .471 hitting performance was eclipsed by two fielding errors at Shibe Park.
Though trailing the Series two games to one, the Cubs were leading by a score of 8–0 in the fourth game when the Athletics mounted a 10-run rally in the seventh inning.
Wilson lost two fly balls in the sun; the second, with two runners on base, led to an inside-the-park home run by Mule Haas as the Athletics won 10–8.
Wilson's 1930 season, aided by a lively ball wound with special Australian wool, is considered one of the best single-season hitting performances in baseball history.
In August he hit 13 home runs and 53 RBIs, and by September 17 he had reached 174 RBIs, breaking Lou Gehrig's major league record established three years earlier.
He ended the season with 190, along with an NL-record 56 home runs, .356 batting average, .454 on-base percentage, and league-leading .723 slugging percentage.
In 1999 the Commissioner of Baseball officially increased Wilson's 1930 RBI total to 191 after a box score analysis by baseball historian Jerome Holtzman revealed that Charlie Grimm had been mistakenly credited with an RBI actually driven home by Wilson during the second game of a doubleheader on July 28.
Wilson's 191 RBIs remains one of baseball's most enduring records; only Gehrig (185) and Hank Greenberg (184) ever came close, and there have been no serious challenges in the last 75 years.
Wilson's official total of 56 stood as the NL record until the 1998 season, when it was broken by Sammy Sosa (66) and Mark McGwire (70).
Wilson's success in the 1930 season served only to fuel his drinking habits, and in 1931 he reported to spring training 20 pounds overweight.
In addition, the NL responded to the prodigious offensive statistics of the previous year (the only season, other than 1894, in which the league as a whole batted over .300) by introducing a heavier ball with raised stitching to allow pitchers to gain a better grip and throw sharper curveballs.
He hit his 200th career home run at Ebbets Field on June 18 — only the fourth player ever to do so, behind Ruth, Cy Williams, and Hornsby — but then fell into a protracted slump, and was benched in late May.
On September 6 he was suspended without pay for the remainder of the season after a fight with reporters aboard a train in Cincinnati.
Less than a month later, the Cardinals sent him to the Brooklyn Dodgers for minor league outfielder Bob Parham and $25,000.
He began 1933 with a ninth-inning game-winning pinch-hit inside-the-park grand slam home run at Ebbets Field—the first pinch-hit grand slam in Dodger history, and only the third inside-the-park pinch-hit grand slam in MLB history.
By season's end his offensive totals had dropped substantially, and he was hitting .262 when the Dodgers released him mid-season in 1934.
The Philadelphia Phillies signed him immediately, but after just two hits in 20 at bats he was released again a month later.
In a 12-year major league career, Wilson played in 1,348 games and accumulated 1,461 hits in 4,760 at-bats for a .307 career batting average and a .395 on-base percentage.
He hit 244 home runs and batted in 1,063 runs, led the NL in home runs four times, and surpassed 100 RBIs six times.
Wilson returned to Martinsburg where he opened a pool hall, but encountered financial problems due to a failed sporting goods business venture, and then a rancorous divorce from Virginia.
By 1938 he was working as a bartender near Brooklyn's Ebbets Field where he sang for drinks, but had to quit when customers became too abusive.
In 1944 he took a job as a good will ambassador for a professional basketball team in Washington, D.C., where he lamented that fans remembered his two dropped fly balls in the 1929 World Series far more vividly than his 56 home runs and 191 RBIs in 1930.
Unable to find work in professional baseball, he moved to Baltimore where he worked as a tool checker in an airplane manufacturing plant and later as a laborer for the City of Baltimore.
Though the accident did not appear serious at first, pneumonia and other complications developed and he died of internal hemorrhaging on November 23, 1948, at the age of 48.
Wilson — once the highest-paid player in the National League — died penniless; his son, Robert, refused to claim his remains.
In marked contrast to Babe Ruth's funeral, which had been attended by thousands just three months earlier, only a few hundred people were present for Wilson's services.
Ten months later Joe McCarthy organized a second, more complete memorial service, attended by Kiki Cuyler, Charlie Grimm, Nick Altrock and other players from the Cubs and the Martinsburg team (by then renamed the Blue Sox).
In 1949 Charlie Grimm, the Cubs' new manager, posted a framed excerpt from that interview in the Cubs clubhouse, where it remains.
A Martinsburg street is named Hack Wilson Way in his honor, and the access road to a large city park within his home town, Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, is known as Hack Wilson Drive.
The company was established after a public tender by the Brazilian Federal Government to form two new networks, created from revoked concessions of the defunct Tupi and Excelsior networks.
SBT was funded in the same day that the concession agreement was signed, and that the act was broadcast live by the network, so that this was his first program aired.
Before acquiring the concessions of the four station that were to form the SBT, Grupo Silvio Santos had since 1976 the concession of Rio de Janeiro's channel 11, known as TVS, which was a fundamental step to give life to SBT.
Throughout its existence, the network always occupied the space in the audience ranking, except between 2007 and 2014, when the Record network took the post.
SBT has a total of 114 broadcast television stations (O&Os and affiliates) throughout the Brazilian territory, and is also available through pay television operators (cable and satellite), free-to-air signal on satellite receivers and also through streaming media in their mobile application (Android, iOS and Windows), applications for smart TVs and its website.
Also on their website, its programming is available in video on demand for free, also available from the video-sharing site YouTube since 2010.
SBT broadcast in their programming a wide variety of television genres, whereas its own material generally stand adjacent to the entertainment.
Foreign programming, mainly the telenovelas produced by the networks owned by the Mexican conglomerate Televisa, are part of their program schedule.
The network also possess times for the television news, producing in all three daily newscasts, a weekly news program and a weekly newscast.
The network owns the CDT da Anhanguera, a television complex located at kilometer 18 of Rodovia Anhanguera, in Osasco, São Paulo, occupying an area of 231 thousand square meters.
This is the third largest television complex in size installed in Latin America, being smaller only that the studios of TV Azteca, in Mexico, and the Estúdios Globo.
In 1962 (when he began his first TV program), Silvio Santos produced his own programs on Tupi, TV Paulista and on Rede Globo beginning in 1965.
His production company, Estudios Silvio Santos Cinema e Televisao, was successful on Tupi, Globo and (since 1972) on RecordTV (where he then owned half of the company's stock).
Other programs soon began, as the network gained support from city residents who sought an alternative to Globo, Tupi, Bandeirantes and TV Rio (the city's network, related to TV Record along with TVS).
The new channel debuted on May 14, 1976, with a logo of a gold circle with the number 11 slanted in gold, which featured in the first Scanimate idents and promos for the channel - making it a pioneer station in the country when it came to computer animation.
While during its early years the network studios were based in Rio, all program production for TVS transferred to São Paulo in 1978-79.
When Rede Tupi went out of business in 1980, Santos obtained three stations from the network: São Paulo's channel 4, Porto Alegre's channel 5 and Belém's channel 5.
Until the formation of SBT, the Silvio Santos Group also had a station named TVS in Nova Friburgo, serving viewers in the northern and western parts of the state, this was also its first branch station, having opened in 1979.
Some later affiliates were adopted from Rede Tupi after its closure on July 18, 1980 by order of Brazilian Minister of Communications Haroldo de Matos, who the following year would order SBT to begin transmissions.
It became one of the network's longest-running programs, running for over 24 years; the final show was at the end of 2010, when Camargo ended her contract.
The death of Flavio Cavacante, one of the network's pioneer presenters, just days after his May 22 episode of his own program shocked the nation so much that on the day of his funeral the network started transmissions only in the afternoon in his honor.
In 1992 SBT and Rede Globo jointly broadcast the 1992 Summer Olympics nationwide, with a grand advertising campaign for the Brazilian national team.
Despite problems and even the transfer of talents to other stations (such as the then resurgent Rede Record), the 90s proved to be a boom for the network.
By the end of the decade SBT held second place in the Brazilian ratings, after Globo, strengthed by a brand new and technologically advanced television complex, the CDT da Anhanguera, inaugurated in 1996, just in time for its 15th anniversary.
SBT began the decade investing in movies, broadcasting a package of Disney (now affiliated with Rede Globo) and Time Warner productions (the latter promoted in a one-hour network block).
In 2009, Liberato moved to Record after more than 20 years with SBT; at the same time, SBT signed presenters Roberto Justus and Eliana from Record.
TV Alagoas left the network in September 2009 and to broadcast religious programs, and SBT executive director William Stoliar sued to ensure the network's availability there.
In February 2014, the Communist Party of Brazil sends to the Federal Government a questioning, for which he cut around 75 million dollars in advertising the broadcaster, because of criticism that the journalist Rachel Sheherazade makes against the Government.
SBT has most of its schedule dedicated to programming for children and pre-teens, and it is a popular network with young audiences.
The network had until 2014 an agreement with Warner Brothers, giving it an exclusivity deal for its sitcoms, dramas and films.
For over 20 years SBT held second place in the Brazilian television ratings (behind Rede Globo), but in February 2007 it was outpaced by Rede Record for the first time in São Paulo.
In physics, specifically relativistic quantum mechanics (RQM) and its applications to particle physics, relativistic wave equations predict the behavior of particles at high energies and velocities comparable to the speed of light.
More generally – the modern formalism behind relativistic wave equations is Lorentz group theory, wherein the spin of the particle has a correspondence with the representations of the Lorentz group.
The mathematical formulation was led by De Broglie, Bohr, Schrödinger, Pauli, and Heisenberg, and others, around the mid-1920s, and at that time was analogous to that of classical mechanics.
The Schrödinger equation and the Heisenberg picture resemble the classical equations of motion in the limit of large quantum numbers and as the reduced Planck constant , the quantum of action, tends to zero.
At this point, special relativity was not fully combined with quantum mechanics, so the Schrödinger and Heisenberg formulations, as originally proposed, could not be used in situations where the particles travel near the speed of light, or when the number of each type of particle changes (this happens in real particle interactions; the numerous forms of particle decays, annihilation, matter creation, pair production, and so on).
This equation was initially proposed by Schrödinger, and he discarded it for such reasons, only to realize a few months later that its non-relativistic limit (what is now called the Schrödinger equation) was still of importance.
For the first time, this introduced new four-dimensional spin matrices and in a relativistic wave equation, and explained the fine structure of hydrogen.
A remarkable result of spinor solutions is that half of the components describe a particle while the other half describe an antiparticle; in this case the electron and positron.
where is a spinor field now with infinitely many components, irreducible to a finite number of tensors or spinors, to remove the indeterminacy in sign.
He did not demand that each component of to satisfy equation (), instead he regenerated the equation using a Lorentz-invariant action, via the principle of least action, and application of Lorentz group theory.
They were anticipated later (in a more involved way) by de Broglie (1934), and Duffin, Kemmer, and Petiau (around 1938–1939) see Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau algebra.
The Dirac–Fierz–Pauli formalism was more sophisticated than Majorana’s, as spinors were new mathematical tools in the early twentieth century, although Majorana’s paper of 1932 was difficult to fully understand; it took Pauli and Wigner some time to understand it, around 1940.
In 1941, Rarita and Schwinger focussed on spin- particles and derived the Rarita–Schwinger equation, including a Lagrangian to generate it, and later generalized the equations analogous to spin for integer .
Bhabha and Lubanski proposed a completely general set of equations by replacing the mass terms in () and () by an arbitrary constant, subject to a set of conditions which the wave functions must obey.
Finally, in the year 1948 (the same year as Feynman's path integral formulation was cast), Bargmann and Wigner formulated the general equation for massive particles which could have any spin, by considering the Dirac equation with a totally symmetric finite-component spinor, and using Lorentz group theory (as Majorana did): the Bargmann–Wigner equations.
In the early 1960s, a reformulation of the Bargmann–Wigner equations was made by H. Joos and Steven Weinberg, the Joos–Weinberg equation.
It is still an area of the present-day research because the problem is only partially solved; including interactions in the equations is problematic, and paradoxical predictions (even from the Dirac equation) are still present.
Throughout, the standard conventions of tensor index notation and Feynman slash notation are used, including Greek indices which take the values 1, 2, 3 for the spatial components and 0 for the timelike component of the indexed quantities.
When applied to a Lorentz scalar field formula_21, one gets the Klein–Gordon equation, the most basic of the quantum relativistic wave equations.
From these all other representations can be built up using a variety of standard methods, like taking tensor products and direct sums.

Membership consists largely of undergraduates, though there have been graduate student members, and members who already hold university and college posts.
Meetings are held once a week, traditionally on Saturday evenings, during which one member gives a prepared talk on a topic, which is later thrown open for discussion.
The usual procedure was for members to meet at the rooms of those whose turn it was to present the topic.
It was a point of honour that the question voted on should bear only a tangential relationship to the matter debated.
Becoming an Apostle involves taking an oath of secrecy and listening to the reading of a curse, originally written by Apostle Fenton John Anthony Hort, the theologian, in or around 1851.
He was admitted in 1912 but resigned almost immediately because he could not tolerate the level of the discussion on the Hearth Rug; they took him back though in the 1920s when he returned to Cambridge.
The Apostles became well known outside Cambridge in the years before the First World War with the rise to eminence of the group of intellectuals known as the Bloomsbury Group.
John Maynard Keynes, Leonard Woolf, Lytton Strachey and his brother James, G. E. Moore, E. M. Forster and Rupert Brooke were all Apostles.
Three Cambridge graduates with access to the top levels of government in Britain, one of them a former Apostle, were eventually found to have passed information to the KGB.
The three known agents were Apostle Guy Burgess, an MI6 officer and secretary to the deputy foreign minister; Donald MacLean, foreign office secretary; and Kim Philby, MI6 officer and journalist.
Straight also told investigators that the Apostle John Peter Astbury had been recruited for Soviet intelligence by either Blunt or Burgess.
As the Queen's art adviser, Blunt was knighted in 1956, but was stripped of his knighthood in 1979 after Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher publicly named him as a spy—his confession having been kept secret before then.
Wovoka (c. 1856 - September 20, 1932), also known as Jack Wilson, was the Paiute religious leader who founded a second episode of the Ghost Dance movement.
Wovoka's father was Numu-tibo'o (sometimes called Tavibo), who for several decades was incorrectly believed to be Wodziwob, a religious leader who had founded the Ghost Dance of 1870.
From the age of eight until almost thirty Wovoka often worked for David Wilson, a rancher in the Yerington, Nevada area, and his wife Abigail, who gave him the name Jack Wilson when dealing with European Americans.
He was said to have caused a block of ice to fall out of the sky on a summer day, to be able to end drought with rain or snow, to light his pipe with the sun, and to form icicles in his hands.
Wovoka taught that in order to bring this vision to pass, the Native Americans must live righteously and perform a traditional round dance, known as the Ghost Dance.
One scholar of religions, Tom Thatcher, cites James Mooney's Smithsonian-sponsored anthropological report to claim that Wovoka received his first vision while chopping wood for David Wilson in 1887.
Conversely, historian Paul Bailey utilized Mooney's work along with interviews with Wovoka's contemporaries and interpreters to assert that he received the vision after entering a two-day trance, awaking in tears.
Regardless, shortly after receiving the vision and its message, it moved quickly beyond his local Paiute community by word of mouth to Native American tribes further east, notably the Lakota.
Before the Ghost dance reached Native Americans on South Dakota plains reservations, interest in the movement came from U.S. Indian Office, U.S. War Department, and multiple Native American tribal delegations.
This led to tribes adopting a militant form of Wovoka's teachings that emphasized an impending battle leading to the creation of the Ghost Shirts worn by Sioux and Lakota at the subsequent massacre.
Other Native American Leaders, such as Miniconjou, Short Bull and Kicking Bear allegedly adopted violent interpretations that emphasized the possible elimination of whites.
However, Wovoka never left his home in Nevada to become an active participant in the dance's dissemination in the U.S. interior.
In 1917, an agent for the Nevada Agency named L.A. Dorrington tracked down Wovoka to report on his whereabouts to Washington.
Curious to see if the former Native American messiah had any ties to the Native American Church, Dorrington found that Wovoka was instead living a humble life in Mason.
He abstained from the practice, worked as an occasional medicine man, and traveled to events on reservations across the United States.
Wovoka died in Yerington on September 20, 1932, and is interred in the Paiute Cemetery in the town of Schurz, Nevada.
In the moments leading up to this session, Billy's girlfriend Jean [played by Laughlin's wife, Delores Taylor], explains Wovoka and the Ghost Dance to an abused teenage girl hiding in sanctuary at the school from her abusive father.
Most likely born near what is now the border of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Payipwat was originally named Kisikawasan, or Flash in the Sky.
He was given the name Payipwat, literally Hole in the Sioux, in recognition of the knowledge he had gained while living among the Sioux.
At the same time, he had become chief of the Cree-Assiniboine or Young Dogs, a particularly powerful mixed band of Cree and Cree-speaking Assiniboine as well as some Plains Ojibwe.
As his band depended on the declining buffalo herds, Payipwat advocated for the Cree to expand their territory into the Cypress Hills.
He was unable to persuade the other leaders of his vision, but he refused to participate in the battle the next day in which the Cree attacked a Kainai village.
Payipwat demanded several changes to the treaty and, incorrectly believing that they had been made, signed it on September 9, 1875.
Although many of his requests were provided by the government as part of future treaties (particularly Treaty 6), several were not.
He and other Cree leaders refused to sign any additional treaties unless the Crown guaranteed the autonomy of the Cree people and grant them a united territory.
When it became clear that this would not happen, Payipwat, Cree leaders Cowessess and Foremost Man, and the Assiniboine First Nations all requested reserves in the Cypress Hills.
The requested territories were all adjacent, and Ottawa agreed to the request, effectively granting the tribe the united territory it sought.
In 1882, facing starvation due to the declining buffalo herds, Payipwat and the Young Dogs agreed to leave the Cypress Hills in exchange for food, horses and supplies.
The next year he again agreed to leave, this time to Indian Head, Assiniboia, and was escorted there by the North-West Mounted Police.
Once he arrived in Indian Head, Payipwat immediately set about organizing his people again with the goal of establishing their own territory.
Payipwat continued to be a respected spiritual leader among the Cree and continued to advocate for greater autonomy and promote the preservation of Cree culture.
He eventually succeeded when he had the chief arrested for holding a Thirst Dance, a ceremony which had been banned in 1892.
Ivan Gašparovič (; born 27 March 1941) is a Slovak politician and lawyer who was President of Slovakia from 2004 to 2014.
Ivan Gašparovič was born in Poltár, near Lučenec and Banská Bystrica in present-day south-central Slovakia, which was at the first Slovak Republic.
His father, Vladimir Gašparović, emigrated to Czechoslovakia from Rijeka in Croatia at the end of World War I and was a teacher at a secondary school in Bratislava, and at one point its Headmaster.
Gašparovič studied at the Law Faculty of the Comenius University in Bratislava, which is the main university in Slovakia, from 1959 to 1964.
He worked in the District Prosecutor's Office of the district of Martin (1965–66), then became a Prosecutor at the Municipal Prosecutor's Office of Bratislava (1966–68).
In 1968, he joined the Communist Party of Slovakia, supposedly to support Alexander Dubček's reforms, but he was expelled from the party after the Warsaw Pact invasion in Czechoslovakia in August 1968.
However, in spite of his expulsion, Gašparovič was able to continue his legal career and from 1968 to July 1990, he was a teacher at the Department of Criminal Law, Criminology and Criminological Practice at the Law Faculty of the Comenius University in Bratislava.
After the Velvet Revolution and the subsequent fall of the Communist regime, Gašparovič was chosen by the newly elected democratic president Václav Havel to become the country's federal Prosecutor-General.
After March 1992, he was briefly the Vice-President of the Legislative Council of Czechoslovakia, before the federal Czechoslovakia split into two independent states in January 1993.
He was a member of the Scientific Council of the Comenius University and of the Scientific Council of the Law Faculty of the same university.
He became Speaker of the National Council of the Slovak Republic (NRSR) after the victory of the HZDS in the June 1992 elections.
When a scandal erupted over the discovery of microphones in the U.S. Consulate in November 1992, Gašparovič was asked by Mečiar to head a commission to investigate the background of the affair, but the results were inconclusive.
The West viewed the regime as untrustworthy, and the country was excluded from the EU and NATO expansion talks that went on at the time at the neighbouring central European countries.
The period of the HZDS rule was among other things marked by persistent animosity between the HZDS-led government and the country's President Michal Kováč, a vocal opponent of the Mečiar regime.
The conflict had gotten to the point where the Slovak Secret Service SIS was alleged to have kidnapped the president's son, Michal Jr., plying him with alcohol, and dropping him in front of a police station in nearby Hainburg in Austria, a country where he was wanted on suspicion of financial fraud.
From October 1998 to 15 July 2002, when his HZDS was an opposition party, Gašparovič was a member of the parliamentary Committee for the Supervision of the SIS (the Slovak equivalent of CIA).
In July 2002 after four years in opposition Gašparovič left the HZDS after Mečiar decided not to include him and some other HZDS members on the ballot for the upcoming elections.
After the elections, Gašparovič returned to the Law Faculty of the Comenius University, and wrote several university textbooks as well as working papers and studies on criminal law.
In April 2004 Gašparovič decided to run for the presidency against Vladimír Mečiar and the then governing coalition's candidate Eduard Kukan.
In an unexpected turn of events, the perceived underdog Gašparovič received the second highest number of votes and moved on to the second round, once again facing Mečiar.
The main factor for Gašparovič's first round success was the low turnout of the front-runner Kukan's electorate, as Kukan was generally considered to be a sure bet for the second round.
In other words, the majority of the population viewed the first round as a formality, and was saving their effort for the second round to keep Mečiar at bay.
Hence in the second round the (potential) Eduard Kukan voters faced an uneasy choice between two representatives of the past regime.
Gašparovič's toned down and non-confrontational approach to presidency has increased his popularity with many voters, and he is a generally popular president now.
However, to date he has remained unapologetic about his role in the Mečiar's regime, which is generally perceived to have set back Slovakia's post-communist political and economic progress and development.
Gašparovič was supported by the Direction – Social Democracy of Prime Minister Robert Fico and the Slovak National Party a nationalist and populist party led by Jan Slota.
In a 23 August 2011 statement, Gašparovič opposed erecting a sculpture in memory of controversial Hungarian minority politician János Esterházy in Kosice, saying that the one-time deputy had been a follower of Hitler and fascism.
According to Hungarian President Pál Schmitt, Esterházy rejected both fascism and communism, suffered in the Gulag and died in a Moravian prison in 1957.
He has also become well known for his misspeaks that are often topics of conversations and jokes among Slovak public (e.g.
Political controversy followed him by his non-decision on naming new attorney general that had been elected by Slovak parliament as the president did not respect the vote and declined to name the attorney general into the function and caused on-going (July 2013) political crisis in Slovakia.
Sussan Penelope Ley (; born 14 December 1961) is an Australian Liberal Party politician serving as Minister of the Environment since 2019, and has served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Farrer since 2001.
Ley served as Assistant Minister for Education in the Abbott Government from 18 September 2013 until 23 December 2014, when she entered the Cabinet and was appointed Minister for Health and Minister for Sport.
When she was one year old, her family moved to the United Arab Emirates, where her father worked as a British intelligence officer.
She was educated at Campbell High School, Dickson College, La Trobe University, the University of New South Wales and Charles Sturt University, and has master's degrees in taxation and accountancy.
They married in 1987, settled on her husband's family farm in north-east Victoria, and had three children before their 2004 divorce.
She was appointed Parliamentary Secretary (Children and Youth Affairs) in October 2004 and Parliamentary Secretary for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry in January 2006.
Following the 2007 election, Ley was appointed Shadow Minister for Housing and Shadow Minister for Status of Women by Opposition Leader, Dr Brendan Nelson, moving to Shadow Minister for Customs and Justice when Malcolm Turnbull became Opposition Leader in September 2008.
When Tony Abbott became Opposition Leader in December 2009 she was given the portfolio of Shadow Assistant Treasurer and was moved to Shadow Minister for Employment Participation and Shadow Minister for Childcare and Early Childhood Learning after the 2010 election.
As part of a ministerial reshuffle, on 23 December 2014 Ley was promoted to cabinet, to become the Minister for Health.
In January 2017, an examination of Ley's expenditure claims and travel entitlements revealed she had purchased an apartment on the Gold Coast, close to the business premises of her partner, for $795,000 whilst on official business in Queensland.
On 8 January, Ley released a statement acknowledging that the purchase had changed the context of her travel, and undertaking to repay the government for the cost of the trip in question as well as three others.
On 9 January 2017, Ley announced that she would stand aside from her ministerial portfolios until an investigation into her travel expenses was completed by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet.
Greg Hunt was appointed as Ley's replacement as the Minister for Health and Sport, and Ken Wyatt was appointed Assistant Minister for Health and Minister for Indigenous Health and Aged Care, both with effect from 24 January 2017.
During the second Liberal Party of Australia leadership spill of 2018, Ley signed the petition requesting to hold a party meeting to determine the leadership of the Liberal party.
The Mark of Cain (also seen as the initialism, TMOC) are a hard rock, alternative metal band from Adelaide, South Australia.
Their style has been likened to that of Helmet and Rollins Band, yet this band pre-dates both groups and was influenced by the early work of Joy Division, Big Black and United States hardcore groups.
The Mark of Cain were formed in mid-1984 by brothers, John (guitar) and Kim Scott (bass guitar), with Rod Archer on vocals and Gavin Atkinson playing drums.
Before long, Archer had left the group and John Scott took on the lead vocal role and the group has remained a trio ever since.
The Mark of Cain were formed as a punk rock group in Adelaide in mid-1984 by Rod Archer on lead vocals; Gavin Atchison on drums (ex-Spiral Collapse); John Scott on lead guitar (ex-Spiral Collapse) and his younger brother Kim Scott on bass guitar.
They replaced Archison with a succession of drummers: David Graham, Roger Crisp, John Rickert, Neil Guive and then Campbell Robinson by late 1988.
It was co-produced by the group with Anthony Bannister and was recorded at Adelaide's Soundtrack Australia studios in January of that year.
It was co-produced by Stuart Sheldon and the group, which was recorded at Artec Studios, Adelaide in February and March of that year.
The lyrics suggest a love song of sorts, yet this is no sappy Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young 'Judy Blue Eyes' folkie-lust.
The group had supported a run of international visiting groups, Rollins Band, Fugazi, Helmet, Albini's Shellac, Butthole Surfers, Killdozer, All, Pavement and Primus.
In March 2013 the band toured Australia with Eli Green on drums, sitting in for Stanier who was unable to tour due to his commitments with US band, Tomahawk.
In July 2019, the band has announced a national tour to play Battlesick in its entirety, as it has been 30 years since its release.
They lived about 150 million years ago, during the Tithonian age of the late Jurassic period, in what is now Europe.
Paleontologists have found two well-preserved fossils, one in Germany in the 1850s and the second in France more than a century later.
The skull had five pairs of fenestrae (skull openings), the largest of which was for the orbit (eye socket), with the eyes being larger in proportion to the rest of the skull.
The lower jaw was slender and had no mandibular fenestra, a hole in the side of the lower jawbone commonly seen in archosaurs.
The teeth were small but sharp, suited for its diet of small vertebrates and possibly other small animals, such as insects.
Its frontmost teeth (those on the premaxilla) were unserrated, unlike those further back in the jaw which were flattened and more strongly recurved.
However, there remains no evidence for an unugal phalanx on the third digit, so the digit may have been reduced and non-functional.
Ostrom debunked this hypothesis by showing conclusively that the French specimen was nearly identical to the German specimen in every aspect but its size.
The physician and fossil collector Joseph Oberndorfer acquired the German specimen (BSP AS I 563) in 1859, discovered about the same year in the lithographic limestone deposits in the Riedenburg-Kelheim region of Bavaria, in the Jurassic part of a lagoonal region known as the Solnhofen archipelago.
The German specimen is on display at the Bayerische Staatsammlung für Paläontologie und historische Geologie (Bavarian State Institute for Paleontology and Historical Geology) in Munich, Germany, which bought the fossil from Oberndorfer in 1865.
The larger French specimen (MNHN CNJ 79) was discovered by quarry owner Louis Ghirardi around 1971 in the Portlandian lithographic limestone of Canjuers near Nice in southeastern France.
However, later researchers have doubted their connection to the genus because they were found outside the body cavity of the animal.
In 1964 German geologist Karl Werner Barthel had explained the discs as gas bubbles formed in the sediment because of the putrefaction of the carcass.
In 2007, its speed was estimated at 17.8 m/s (40mph) making it the fastest known dinosaur and the fastest known animal on two legs; the estimate has been criticized by other scholars.
For a long time they were unique in their small size, as most other small dinosaurs were discovered and described a century or more later.
Prior to opening 2UE, he had operated experimental station 2IY, as well as working alongside a couple of other early experimenters.
The original studio was in the dining room of Stevenson's Maroubra home; and an 80 feet (24.384 metres) transmitting tower was installed in his back yard.
All the equipment was homemade; the studio and equipment costing £750 ($1,500) to build, and £9 ($18) per week to operate.
A local butcher was so disconcerted with the sounds between recordings and piano rolls that he paid Stevenson one shilling (10¢) to substitute his whistling with short talks about the quality of the butcher's meat.
As a cost saving measure in the depths of the Great Depression, in December 1935 it was announced that an organisation to be known as Broadcasting Service Association, Limited, would co-ordinate and provide combined production resources for 2UE and 2GB, but without owning or operating either station.
However, the concept never transpired in Australia, because in February 1937 2GB announced that it was going to form its own national network, and that eventually led to the formation of the Macquarie Network in 1938 which was at first jointly managed by 2GB and 2UE.
In 1938 2UE and 3DB Melbourne, launched the Major Broadcasting Network which for many decades was Australia's second most important radio network, after the Macquarie Network.
The main person behind the formation of the Major Network was David Worrall, manager of 3DB, and a most important figure in broadcasting history.
The Network broadcast a wide range of live variety programs including quizzes and dramas including soap operas, mostly emanating from the 3DB or 2UE studios.
The formation of the Major Network actually happened after two earlier attempts by David Worrall to form a network with 2UE as the Sydney station.
In 1933, a loose grouping, but the first Australian attempt to form a commercial network, was attempted, known as the Federal Network.
In 1938 2UE and 2GB, as partners in the newly formed Broadcast Services Association moved their studios and offices to Savoy House, 29 Bligh Street, Sydney, with 2UE on the 4th and 5th floors and 2GB on the 6th and 7th floors.
From 1939, 2UE became the first Australian station to broadcast six pips from the Australian observatory as an hourly time signal.
For many decades all Australian stations carried the six pip time signal first heard on 2UE, and some stations still do.
The importance of these types of programming at that time, is highlighted by the fact that in 1933 the 2UE Academy of Music was formed under Rex Shaw and Professor Clarence Elkin, so as to train singers and instrumentalists, particularly in the classical field.
In the 1930s, Test Cricket had a particularly high profile and most capital city radio stations, both the ABC and commercial stations, used the cricket as a vehicle for competitive programming, often interspersing live variety programs with news of the ongoing match supplied by overseas cablegrams.
He was on a two-year contract at the very high sum of £1,000 a year; a deal which is credited with keeping Bradman in Australia.
The transmitter tower was wired with explosives by the army, so that an enemy could not have used it, should there have been a World War II invasion.
Fire destroyed the Savoy House studios in 1943, and another Sydney station, 2CH, gave 2UE temporary accommodation in their own studio complex.
2UE was well known over many decades for its coverage of races, both in Sydney and, through relays, of meetings throughout Australia.
The 2UE racing service commenced in 1945 when Sports Editor Clif Cary, already well known for his cricket broadcasts, started a service then known as the Associated Sports Broadcasts which relayed horse racing and other Saturday afternoon sporting events to nine other N.S.W.
John Lamb died in 1978, and his son, Stewart, moved from Newcastle to Sydney to look after the Lamb family's interests in 2UE.
2UE instigated Australia's first Top 40 on 2 March 1958, with former Newcastle announcer Pat Barton as the host of a daily Top 40 program.
2UE increased its reliance on a Top 40 format, becoming one of the first stations in Australia to devote most of its air time to pop music, but by the end of this decade 2SM had superseded 2UE as Sydney's most popular Top 40 station.
Commencing in 1966, a major pop music promotion on 2UE Sydney and 3UZ Melbourne was Hoadley's Battle of the Sounds, a national rock band concert staged to promote Australian talent and foster new bands.
Until 1967 talkback was illegal in Australia because of government concerns that: a) people may say something they shouldn't; and b) callers may not know they were on the air.
Although 2UE was mainly broadcasting Top 40 during this period, in the early 1970s it also featured some country music, including programs hosted by Studio Manager Nick Erby.
The Lamb family sold 2UE to Kerry Packer in the 1980s, and Packer then sold it to Alan Bond but when the Bond Empire was crumbling in the early 1990s,the Lamb family was to buy back 2UE.
In 1986, under Kerry Packer, 2UE and 3AK Melbourne, embarked on a shared talk-back format called the CBC Network which featured selected Melbourne and Sydney based programs being broadcast across both stations.
It concerned paid advertising on talk back radio that was presented to the audience in such a way as to sound like editorial commentary.
They revealed that 2UE hosts John Laws and Alan Jones had been paid to give favourable comment to companies including Qantas, Optus, Foxtel, Mirvac and major Australian banks, without disclosing this arrangement to listeners.
The Australian Broadcasting Authority found that John Laws, Alan Jones, and 2UE had committed 90 breaches of the industry code and five breaches of 2UE's license conditions.
2UE continued to broadcast a news talk format, involving current affairs oriented programs with talkback across the day and more relaxed programming at nights and on weekends.
Despite having had a strong relationship in the 1930s through the Broadcast Services Association, by the 21st century 2UE had been a constant rival of 2GB for many decades.
In the early 2010s 2UE slipped badly in the ratings, suffering major blows when long time breakfast program host Alan Jones moved across to the 2GB breakfast program and when broadcaster John Laws retired from radio, leaving his 2UE morning program at the end of 2007.
On 9 April 2015, with 2UE and 2GB now both owned by the newly merged Macquarie Radio Network, the 2UE newsroom was closed after 90 years with the last news report being broadcast at 6 pm that day.
In the eighth and final ratings survey for 2013, released on 10 December 2013, overall 2UE scored a 4.2% market share well behind market leader 2GB on 13.3 which was ahead of next placed ABC702 on 10.4.
During this survey period, its Monday to Friday share slipped to 3.2 per cent of the available audience, putting it behind Macquarie Radio Network's 2CH which averaged 4.6 per cent and meant 2UE was only ahead of three stations.
The 2UE drive show slipping a further 0.7 points after the firing of Jason Morrison in the middle of the survey, and evenings slipping further losing 2.6 points, its biggest drop in the survey.
On 1 November 2013, 2UE's parent company, Fairfax Radio Network (FRN), announced that it had signed a five-year contract commencing with the 2013/2014 Australian cricket season, to broadcast the Boxing Day and Sydney Test matches, all One Day Internationals, the Big Bash League (BBL) and International T20 matches on network stations including 2UE.
Subsequently, in December 2013, FRN decided on an earlier start to their coverage by including the Perth test match which commenced on 13 December 2013.
In September 2016, 2UE relaunched with new branding and programming, moving away from its news talk position to a lifestyle format.
On Monday 27 February 2017, Macquarie Radio Network also launched the Talking Lifestyle format in Melbourne and Brisbane (Talking Lifestyle 1278 and Talking Lifestyle 882).
On Wednesday 4 April 2018, the three Talking Lifestyle branded stations relaunched with a new sports radio format under the name Macquarie Sports Radio with coverage of the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Macquarie Sports Radio 954 is the home of Sydney Swans and Greater Western Sydney Giants matches, as well as other selected AFL matches broadcast from 3AW, plus the early Friday night NRL Game from NRL Nation.
'God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen' (Track 5) has been played in concert many times over the years: this is the first studio version.
Peter John Lindsay (born 4 May 1944), Australian politician, was a Liberal Party of Australia member of the Australian House of Representatives from March 1996 to July 2010, representing the Division of Herbert, Queensland.
In January 2007 he was appointed to the position of Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Defence in the Howard Government.
He was born in Brisbane, Queensland, and was a television station production manager and General Manager of Townsville Television from 1972 to 1996 before entering politics.
Later in 2014, Lindsay was appointed to the boards of the Defence Honours & Awards Appeal Tribunal, the Queensland Government's Gambling Community Benefit Committee and the Constitution Education Fund Australia.
After graduating from the University of Tokyo with an economics degree in 1976, Ohta entered the Ministry of International Trade and Industry.
Ohta's family name has been officially registered as Saitō (齊藤) since her marriage, but she uses her maiden name above for most public purposes.
She was an Australian Labor Party member of the Australian House of Representatives from October 1998 until September 2013, representing the Division of Capricornia, Queensland.
Frithjof Schuon (; ) (18 June, 1907 – 5 May, 1998), also known as ʿĪsā Nūr ad-Dīn ʾAḥmad () after his conversion to Islam, was an author of German ancestry born in Basel, Switzerland.
He was a spiritual master, philosopher, and metaphysician inspired by the Hindu philosophy of Advaita Vedanta and Sufism and the author of numerous books on religion and spirituality.
In his writings, Schuon expresses his faith in an absolute principle, God, who governs the universe and to whom our souls would return after death.
His articles in French were collected in about 20 titles in French which were later translated into English as well as many other languages.
The main subjects of his prose and poetic compositions are spirituality and various essential realms of the human life coming from God and returning to God.
Schuon's father was a concert violinist and the household was one in which not only music but literary and spiritual culture were present.
Schuon lived in Basel and attended school there until the untimely death of his father, after which his mother returned with her two young sons to her family in nearby Mulhouse, France, where Schuon was obliged to become a French citizen.
Having received his earliest training in German, he received his later education in French and thus mastered both languages early in life.
While still living in Mulhouse, he discovered the works of René Guénon, the French philosopher and Orientalist, which served to confirm his intellectual intuitions and which provided support for the metaphysical principles he had begun to discover.
Living in Paris also brought the opportunity to be exposed to various forms of traditional art to a much greater degree than before, especially the arts of Asia with which he had had a deep affinity since his youth.
This period of growing intellectual and artistic familiarity with the traditional worlds was followed by Schuon's first visit to Algeria in 1932.
Schuon has written about his deep affinity with the esoteric core of various traditions and hence appreciation for the Sufism in the Islamic tradition.
On a second trip to North Africa, in 1935, he visited Algeria and Morocco; and during 1938 and 1939 he traveled to Egypt where he met Guénon, with whom he had been in correspondence for 27 years.
After having served in the French army, and having been made a prisoner by the Germans, he sought asylum in Switzerland, which gave him Swiss nationality and was to be his home for forty years.
In 1949 he married, his wife being a German Swiss with a French education who, besides having interests in religion and metaphysics, was also a gifted painter.
Following World War II, Schuon accepted an invitation to travel to the American West, where he lived for several months among the Plains Indians, in whom he always had a deep interest.
Having received his education in France, Schuon has written all his major works in French, which began to appear in English translation in 1953.
In 1959 and again in 1963, they journeyed to the American West at the invitation of friends among the Sioux and Crow American Indians.
In the company of their Native American friends, they visited various Plains tribes and had the opportunity to witness many aspects of their sacred traditions.
In 1959, Schuon and his wife were solemnly adopted into the Sioux family of James Red Cloud, descendant of Red Cloud.
Schuon's writings on the central rites of Native American religion and his paintings of their ways of life attest to his particular affinity with the spiritual universe of the Plains Indians.
Other travels have included journeys to Andalusia, Morocco, and a visit in 1968 to the reputed home of the Virgin Mary in Ephesus.
Schuon throughout his entire life had great respect for and devotion to the Virgin Mary which was expressed in his writings.
In 1980, Schuon and his wife emigrated to the United States, settling in Bloomington, Indiana, where a community of disciples from all over the world would gather around him for spiritual direction.
It was American anthropologist Joseph Epes Brown who through letters and journeys to Lausanne would speak of the Native Americans to Schuon and would create possibilities of exchange between Schuon and that world, exchanges that were to play an important role in the last period of the Schuon’s' life.
In his autobiography, Schuon explained how, after Yellowtail had performed a special rite, he had a visionary dream revealing to him certain aspects of the Plain Indian symbolism.
These gatherings were understood by disciples as a sharing in Schuon's personal insights and realization, not as part of the initiatic method he transmitted, centered on the invocation of a Divine Name.
A preliminary investigation was begun, but the chief prosecutor eventually concluded that there was no proof, noting that the plaintiff was of extremely dubious character who had been previously condemned for making false statements in another similar affair in California.
Schuon was greatly affected, but continued to write poetry in his native German, to receive visitors and maintain a busy correspondence with followers, scholars and readers until his death in 1998.
It was supposedly formulated in ancient Greece, in particular, by Plato and later Neoplatonists, and in Christendom by Meister Eckhart (in the West) and Gregory Palamas (in the East).
This intellectual universality is one of the hallmarks of Schuon's works, and it gives rise to insights into not only the various spiritual traditions, but also history, science and art.
The dominant theme or principle of Schuon's writings was foreshadowed in his early encounter with a Black marabout who had accompanied some members of his Senegalese village to Switzerland in order to demonstrate their culture.
When the young Schuon talked with him, the venerable old man drew a circle with radii on the ground and explained: God is in the center; all paths lead to Him.
The whole manifestation from the first Being (Ishvara) to matter (Prakriti), the lower degree of reality, is indeed the projection of the Supreme Principle (Brahman).
It is also the Supreme Self (Atman) and in its innermost essence, the Intellect (buddhi) that is the ray of Consciousness shining down, the axial refraction of Atma within Maya.
In particular, he wrote on the Invocation of the Divine Name (dhikr, Japa-Yoga, the Prayer of the Heart), considered by Hindus as the best and most providential means of realization at the end of the Kali Yuga.
As has been noted by the Hindu saint Ramakrishna, the secret of the invocatory path is that God and his Name are one.
Schuon notes that the essence of relativism is found in the idea that we never escape from human subjectivity whilst its expounders seem to remain unaware of the fact that relativism is therefore also deprived of any objectivity.
Schuon further notes that the Freudian assertion that rationality is merely a hypocritical guise for a repressed animal drive results in the very assertion itself being devoid of worth as it is itself a rational judgment.
Schuon was a frequent contributor to the quarterly journal Studies in Comparative Religion, (along with Guénon, Coomarswamy, and many others) which dealt with religious symbolism and the Traditionalist perspective.
The adult male has orange cheeks and ear coverts with a narrow streak of white under the eye and a trace of a white supercilium.
Young birds have a dark grey head and wings but the feathers are edged in white and the rest of the soft plumage is much streakier than that of the adults.
They are found in small groups that fly in wide circles in open forest, occasionally perching atop a tall and leafless tree.
He collected specimens during his travels in the Borabhum and Dholbhum area while serving as a lieutenant in the 31st regiment of native infantry.
Jerdon, a quinarian, considered the species to be a link between the swifts and swallows on the basis of their silky plumage, uncharacteristic of the swifts.
Like all swifts this species uses saliva to build its nest but it does not have all the toes facing forward as in the Apodini.
The crested treeswift builds a tiny and thin-walled and shallow nest made up of pieces of bark and feathers which is glued with saliva to the side of an exposed tree branch.
The nest is so small that incubating birds may just appear as if just normally perched on a branch having a knot.
Nearly half the egg is visible above the edge of the nest and is covered by the down feathers of their breast and belly when incubating.
The breeding season is during the hottest part of summer from March to July and nests may be positioned on the eastern side of a branch so that the adult would have the sun on its back during the afternoon.
The nestlings are cryptically patterned in grey and freeze when threatened with the head held low and beak held slightly upward and appear like a knot on a tree branch or when sitting horizontally appear like a chameleon.
James Eric Lloyd (born 17 July 1954), Australian politician, was a Liberal Party of Australia member of the Australian House of Representatives from the March 1996 election until the November 2007 election, representing the Division of Robertson in New South Wales.
Born in Sydney, New South Wales, Lloyd was educated at Homebush Boys High School and worked in a variety of occupations, including milkman, ferry and cruise boat crew member, manager of a marina and service station proprietor before entering politics.
Lloyd was the Liberal Party candidate for the safe Labor seat of Peats at the 1984 New South Wales State election, gathering 33.40% of the vote.
His lobbying work prior to entering politics included collecting 60,000 signatures which resulted in the re-opening of the Cheero Point section of the Pacific Highway, which had been closed for several years following landslides.
Lloyd was Chief Government Whip from 2001 to 2004 before his appointment as Minister for Local Government, Territories and Roads in July 2004.
The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) is an assembly, modelled on the United Nations General Assembly, of First Nations (Indian bands) represented by their chiefs.
The aims of the organization are to protect and advance the aboriginal and treaty rights and interests of First Nations in Canada, including health, education, culture and language.
The self-formation of political organizations of Indigenous peoples of North America has been a constant process over many centuries—the Iroquois Confederacy and the Blackfoot Confederacy are two prominent pre-colonial examples.
During the late 19th and early 20th century, a number of regional organizations, like the Grand Indian Council of Ontario and Quebec and the Allied Tribes of B.C.
The National Indian Council (NIC) was created in 1961 to represent Indigenous people of Canada, including treaty/status Indians, non-status Indians, the Métis people, though not the Inuit.
In response to the collapse of the NIC and the 1969 White Paper, George Manuel, Noel Doucette, Andrew Delisle, Omer Peters, Jack Sark, Dave Courchene, Roy Sam, Harold Sappier, Dave Ahenakew, Harold Cardinal and Roy Daniels incorporated the National Indian Brotherhood in 1970, an umbrella organization for the various provincial and territorial organizations, like the Indian Association of Alberta.
The NIB was a national political body made up of the leadership of the various provincial and territorial organizations (PTOs) which lobbied for changes to federal and provincial policies.
The following year, the NIB launched its first major campaign in opposition to the 1969 White Paper, in which the Minister of Indian Affairs, Jean Chrétien, proposed the abolition of the Indian Act, the rejection of land claims, and the assimilation of First Nations people into the Canadian population with the status of other ethnic minorities rather than a distinct group.
Startled by the strong opposition to the White Paper, the Prime Minister told the delegation the White Paper would not be imposed against their will.
Undoubtedly, this was one of the last steps in ending the Canadian Residential School System, long opposed by Indigenous people, but also a first step in the push for Indigenous self-governance.
The NIB gained consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council in 1974, until such time as an international Indigenous organization could be formed.
When the World Council of Indigenous Peoples was formed on Nuu-chah-nulth territory the following year with the leadership of George Manuel, it took the place of the NIB at the United Nations.
Individual chiefs and regional groupings begin to chafe because their only access to the national scene was through their respective PTOs.
The question arose as to what would happen with the Treaty and aboriginal rights that had been guaranteed by the Imperial Crown if Canada took over its own governance.
They used the United Nations General Assembly as a model in conceiving what the new Assembly of First Nations would become.
The new structure, which gave membership and voting rights to individual First Nations chiefs rather than provincial/territorial organizations, was adopted in July 1985, as part of the Charter of the Assembly of First Nations.
On September 1, 1994, Ovide Mercredi, Chief of the AFN, advised federal government leaders that it must guarantee the rights of Aboriginal people in Quebec in the event of disunion.
In early 2013, documents revealed that the AFN had been operating in conjunction with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to provide information and conduct surveillance on members of the First Nations community.
The AFN, which depends upon the federal government for most of its funding, has sometimes been accused of being obsequious, and not representative of the larger First Nations community.
Except for Lincoln Mountain, the mountains of the Presidential Range are in the Breadloaf Wilderness in the Green Mountain National Forest.
Circular Quay railway station is a heritage-listed elevated commuter rail station that is located on the City Circle route, serving the Circular Quay precinct of the Sydney central business district in New South Wales, Australia.
Circular Quay is an area of historical significance for Sydney, as it was for a long time the central harbour of a settlement which relied on shipping for its connection to the outside world.
By the 20th century, ferry commuter wharves began to eclipse commercial shipping wharves as the dominant feature of the Quay area.
Tunnels to link the surrounding stations to the future Circular Quay station were built from Central between 1917 and 1926 to St James (eastern section) and 1932 to Wynyard (western section).
Work on the section of the railway through Circular Quay began in 1936, was interrupted by World War II, and recommenced in 1945.
Designs for the station building itself commenced in 1927, revised in 1937, and the station was finally completed and opened on 20 January 1956 by State Premier Joe Cahill, with the first regular train services beginning on 22 January.
The completion of Circular Quay station marked the completion of the City Circle railway as originally envisaged by John Bradfield making it the newest station on the line.
The construction and placement of the station was always controversial due to its prominent location at the head of Circular Quay, an important natural and cultural landmark and visitors' attraction.
There have been various proposals to relocate the station underground in conjunction with the demolition of the Cahill Expressway, however these have not come to fruition.
A refurbishment in 2007 introduced sun-shading awnings on the platforms, removed advertising hoarding between the tracks, and improved facilities on the concourse level.
Both platforms feature sections of open galleries, offering views to Circular Quay, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House on one side, and Customs House and the Alfred Street plaza on the other.
The exterior of the remainder of the platform feature open, glass-railed galleries, supported on the lower level by a continuation of the central facade.
The top of the northern, harbour-facing facade is incorporated into the viewing platform and rest area located above the station alongside the Cahill Expressway roadway.
The central concourse is surrounded on either side by retail and food shops and public toilets located under the elevated platforms.
The station is in an inter-war functionalist style, as seen in the strong horizontal lines presented by the windows and galleries, with art deco details.
Adjacent to the station lies Circular Quay wharf that is served by Captain Cook Cruises, Manly Fast Ferry and Sydney Ferries services.
Caniff did cartoons for local newspapers while studying at Stivers High School (now Stivers School for the Arts) in Dayton Ohio.
In 1932, Caniff moved to New York City to accept an artist job with the Features Service of the Associated Press.
The eponymous main character was a youth who dreamed himself into adventures with such literary and legendary persons as Robin Hood, Robinson Crusoe and King Arthur.
But over the years the title character aged, and by World War II he was old enough to serve in the Army Air Force.
Other characters included: Burma, a blonde with a mysterious, possibly criminal, past; Chopstick Joe, a Chinese petty criminal; Singh Singh, a warlord in the mountains of China; Judas, a smuggler; Sanjak, a lesbian; and then boon companions such as Hotshot Charlie, Terry's wing man during the War years; and April Kane, a young woman who was Terry's first love.
But Caniff's most memorable creation was the Dragon Lady, a pirate queen; she was seemingly ruthless and calculating, but Caniff encouraged his readers to think she had romantic yearnings for Pat Ryan.
Her function, Caniff often said, was to remind service men what they were fighting for, and while the situations in the strip included much 'double entendre', Miss Lace was not portrayed as being promiscuous.
Another strip had her dancing with a man in civilian clothes; a disgruntled GI shoved and mocked him for having an easy life, but Lace's partner was in fact an ex-GI blinded in battle.
While the strip was a major success, it was not owned by its creator but by its distributing syndicate, the Chicago Tribune-New York Daily News, a common practice with syndicated comics at the time.
And when Caniff, growing more and more frustrated with the lack of rights to the comic strip he produced, was offered the chance to own his own strip by Marshall Field, publisher of the Chicago Sun, the cartoonist quit Terry to produce a strip for Field Enterprises.
At the time, Caniff was one of only two or three syndicated cartoonists who owned their creations, and he attracted considerable publicity as a result of this circumstance.
Canyon was portrayed originally as a civilian pilot with his own one-airplane cargo airline, but he re-enlisted in the Air Force during the Korean War and remained in the Air Force for the remainder of the strip's run.
The title character's dedication to the military produced a negative reaction among readers during the Vietnam War, and the strip's circulation decreased as a result.
Caniff nonetheless continued to enjoy enormous regard in the profession and in newspapering, and he produced the strip until his death in 1988.
The strip was published for a couple of months after he died, but was ended in June 1988, due to Caniff's decision that no one else would continue the feature.
The character of Charlie Vanilla, who appeared frequently with an ice cream cone, was based on Caniff's long term friend Charles Russhon, a former photographer and Lieutenant in the US Air Force who later worked as a James Bond movie technical adviser.
Caniff was one of the founders of the National Cartoonists Society and served two terms as its President, 1948 and 1949.
In 1977, the Milton Caniff Collection of papers and original art became the foundation for what is known presently as the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum.
In addition to the original artwork, the collection includes Caniff's personal and business papers, correspondence, research files, photographs, memorabilia, merchandise, realia, awards, audio/visual material and scrapbooks.
Along with Hal Foster and Alex Raymond, Caniff's style had a tremendous influence on the artists who drew American comic books and adventure strips during the mid-20th century.
Evidence of his influence can be seen in the work of comic book/strip artists such as Jack Kirby, Frank Robbins, Lee Elias, Bob Kane, Mike Sekowsky, John Romita, Sr., Johnny Craig, William Overgard and Doug Wildey to name just a few.
The strip features a number of real-life characters and situations, albeit in a fictional setting, including Gary Powers and the U-2 Crisis and Hugh Hefner.
During World War II, Dottie is the model for Milton, an artist who has been commissioned to draw a strip to raise the morale of the troops.
This version of Caniff is not a particularly sympathetic one, depicting him in a loveless marriage while obsessed with Dottie who has rejected him.
The 1971 San Fernando earthquake (also known as the Sylmar earthquake) occurred in the early morning of February 9 in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in southern California.
Damage was locally severe in the northern San Fernando Valley and surface faulting was extensive to the south of the epicenter in the mountains, as well as urban settings along city streets and neighborhoods.
The event affected a number of health-care facilities in Sylmar, San Fernando, and other densely populated areas north of central Los Angeles.
The Olive View Medical Center and Veterans Hospital both experienced very heavy damage, and buildings collapsed at both sites, causing the majority of deaths that occurred.
The buildings at both facilities were constructed with mixed styles, but engineers were unable to thoroughly study the buildings' responses because they were not outfitted with instruments for recording strong ground motion, and this prompted the Veterans Administration to later install seismometers at its high-risk sites.
Other sites throughout the Los Angeles area had been instrumented as a result of local ordinances, and an extraordinary amount of strong motion data was recorded, more so than any other event up until that time.
Transportation around the Los Angeles area was severely afflicted with roadway failures and the partial collapse of several major freeway interchanges.
The near total failure of the Lower Van Norman Dam resulted in the evacuation of tens of thousands of downstream residents, though an earlier decision to maintain the water at a lower level may have contributed to saving the dam from being overtopped.
Schools were affected, as they had been during the 1933 Long Beach earthquake, but this time amended construction styles improved the outcome for the thousands of school buildings in the Los Angeles area.
Another result of the event involved the hundreds of various types of landslides that were documented in the San Gabriel Mountains.
As had happened following other earthquakes in California, legislation related to building codes was once again revised, with laws that specifically addressed the construction of homes or businesses near known active fault zones.
The San Gabriel Mountains are a long portion of the Transverse Ranges and are bordered on the north by the San Andreas Fault, on the south by the Cucamonga Fault, and on the southwest side by the Sierra Madre Fault.
The frontal fault system at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains extends from the San Jacinto Fault Zone in the east to offshore Malibu in the west, and is defined primarily by moderate to shallow north-dipping faults, with a conservative vertical displacement estimated at .
Paleomagnetic evidence has shown that the western Transverse Ranges were formed as the Pacific Plate moved northward relative to the North American Plate.
As the plate shifted to the north, a portion of the terrane that was once parallel with the coast was rotated in a clockwise manner, which left it positioned in its east–west orientation.
The Transverse Ranges form the perimeter of a series of basins that begins with the Santa Barbara Channel on the west end.
Moving eastward, there is the Ventura Basin, the San Fernando Valley, and the San Gabriel Basin, with active reverse faults (San Cayetano, Red Mountain, Santa Susana, and Sierra Madre) all lining the north boundary.
A small number of damaging events have occurred, with three in Santa Barbara (1812, 1925, and 1978) and two in the San Fernando Valley (1971 and 1994), though other faults in the basin that have high Quaternary slip rates have not produced any large earthquakes.
The San Fernando earthquake occurred on February 9 at 6:00:41 am Pacific Standard Time (14:00:41 UTC) with a strong ground motion duration of about 12 seconds.
Considerable damage was seen in localized portions of the valley and also in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains above the fault block.
The fault that was responsible for the movement was not one that had been considered a threat, and this highlighted the urgency to identify other similar faults in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
The shaking surpassed building code requirements and exceeded what engineers had prepared for, and although most dwellings in the valley had been built in the prior two decades, even modern earthquake-resistant structures sustained serious damage.
Several key attributes of the event were shared with the 1994 Northridge earthquake, considering both were brought about by thrust faults in the mountains north of Los Angeles, and each resulting earthquake being similar in magnitude, though no surface rupture occurred in 1994.
Since both occurred in urban and industrial areas and resulted in significant economic impairment, each event drew critical observation from planning authorities, and has been thoroughly studied in the scientific communities.
Prominent surface faulting trending N72°W was observed along the San Fernando Fault Zone from a point south of Sylmar, stretching nearly continuously for east to the Little Tujunga Canyon.
Additional breaks occurred farther to the east that were in a more scattered fashion, while the western portion of the most affected area had less pronounced scarps, especially the detached Mission Wells segment.
Although the complete Sierra Madre Fault Zone had previously been mapped and classified by name into its constituent faults, the clusters of fault breaks provided a natural way to identify and refer to each section.
As categorized during the intensive studies immediately following the earthquake, they were labeled the Mission Wells segment, Sylmar segment, Tujunga segment, Foothills area, and the Veterans fault.
All segments shared the common elements of thrust faulting with a component of left-lateral slip, a general east-west strike and a northward dip, but they were not unified with regard to their connection to the associated underlying bedrock.
The initial surveyors of the extensive faulting in the valley, foothills, and mountains reported only tectonic faulting, while excluding fissures and other features that arose from the effects of compaction and landsliding.
In the vicinity of the Sylmar Fault segment, there was a low possibility of landslides due to a lack of elevation change, but in the foothills and mountainous area a large amount of landsliding occurred and more work was necessary to eliminate the possibility of misidentifying a feature.
Along the hill fronts of the Tujunga segment some ambiguous formations were present because some scarps may have had influence from downhill motion, but for the most part they were tectonic in nature.
In repeated measurements of the different fault breaks, the results remained consistent, leading to the belief that most of the slip had occurred during the mainshock.
While lateral, transverse, and vertical motions were all observed, the largest individual component of movement was of left lateral slip near the middle of the Sylmar segment.
A three-week inspection of the aftershock activity was undertaken that included events that were recorded by an array of permanent stations that were operated by the California Institute of Technology, a USGS instrument stationed at Point Mugu, and California Department of Water Resources seismometers at Pyramid Springs and Cedar Springs.
Temporary seismometers that were set up in response to the mainshock were up and running from as soon as several hours to several days after the main event and provided additional data until March 1.
The catalog of items was mostly complete and included 200 shocks of magnitude 3.0 or greater and four shocks of magnitude 5.0 or greater.
Several of the smaller shocks approached the area of surface faulting, but for the most part, the area that experienced the heaviest shaking and damage (as a result of the mainshock) lacked aftershock activity.
The Pacoima Dam, with its unusually high peak ground acceleration reading, laid very close to the center of that aftershock-free zone.
The USGS commissioned a private company and the United States Air Force to take aerial photographs over of the mountainous areas north of the San Fernando Valley.
Highly shattered rock was also documented along the ridge tops, and rockfalls (which continued for several days) were the result of both the initial shock and the aftershocks.
The greatest number of slides were centered to the southwest of the mainshock epicenter and close to the areas where surface faulting took place.
The slides ranged from in length, and could be further categorized as rock falls, soil falls, debris slides, avalanches, and slumps.
The most frequently-encountered type of slide was the surficial (less than thick) debris slides and were most often encountered on terrain consisting of sedimentary rock.
In early 1971, the San Fernando Valley was the scene of a dense network of strong-motion seismometers, which provided a total of 241 seismograms.
This made the earthquake the most documented event, at the time, in terms of strong-motion seismology; by comparison, the 1964 Alaska earthquake did not provide any strong motion records.
Part of the reason there were so many stations to capture the event was a 1965 ordinance that required newly constructed buildings in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles over six stories in height to be outfitted with three of the instruments.
One hundred seventy-five of the recordings came from these buildings, another 30 were on hydraulic structures, and the remainder were from ground-based installations near faults, including an array of the units across the San Andreas Fault.
The extraordinarily high acceleration was just one part of the picture, considering that duration and frequency of shaking also play a role in how much damage can occur.
Cracks formed in the rocks and a rock slide came within of the apparatus, and the foundation remained undamaged, but a small (half-degree) tilt of the unit was discovered that was apparently responsible for closing the horizontal pendulum contacts.
As a result of what was considered a fortunate accident, the machine kept recording for six minutes (until it ran out of paper) and provided scientists with additional data on 30 of the initial aftershocks.
The areas that were affected by the strongest shaking were the outlying communities north of Los Angeles that are bounded by the northern edge of the San Fernando Valley at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains.
The area where the heaviest effects were present was limited by geographical features on the three remaining margins, with the Santa Susana Mountains on the west, the Santa Monica Mountains and the Los Angeles River to the south, and along the Verdugo Mountains to the east.
Loss of life that was directly attributable to the earthquake amounted to 58 (a number of heart attack and other health-related deaths were not included in this figure).
Most deaths occurred at the Veterans and Olive View hospital complexes, and the rest were located at private residences, the highway overpass collapses, and a ceiling collapse at the Midnight Mission in downtown Los Angeles.
The hospital buildings, the freeway overpasses, and the Sylmar Juvenile Hall were on coarse alluvium that overlay thousands of feet of loosely consolidated sedimentary material.
In the city of San Fernando, underground water, sewer, and gas systems suffered breaks too numerous to count, and some sections were so badly damaged that they were abandoned.
Ground displacement damaged sidewalks and roads, with cracks in the more rigid asphalt and concrete often exceeding the width of the shift in the underlying soil.
A band of similarly intense damage further away near Ventura Boulevard at the southern end of the valley was also identified as having been related to soil type.
Federal, county, and private hospitals suffered varying degrees of damage, with four major facilities in the San Fernando Valley suffering structural damage, and two of those collapsing.
The one-story Foothill Nursing Home sat very close to a section of the fault that broke the surface and was raised up three feet higher than the street.
Though the reinforced concrete block structure was afflicted by the shock and uplift, the relatively good performance was in stark contrast to that of the Olive View and Veterans Hospital complexes.
Most of the buildings at the Los Angeles County–owned, 880-bed hospital complex had been built before the adoption of new construction techniques that had been put in place after the 1933 Long Beach earthquake.
The five-story, reinforced-concrete Medical Treatment and Care Building was one of three new additions to the complex (all three of which sustained damage), was assembled with earthquake-resistant construction techniques, and was completed in December, 1970.
The hospital was staffed by 98 employees and had 606 patients at the time of the earthquake; all three deaths that occurred at the Olive View complex were in this building.
Two were due to power failure of life-support systems and one, that of an employee who was struck by part of the collapsing building as he or she tried to exit the building, was a direct result of the destruction.
The Medical Treatment and Care Building included a basement that was exposed (above grade) on the east and south sides, mixed (above and below grade) on the west side, and below grade on the north side of the building, the variation being due to the shallow slope at the site.
The complete structure, including the four external staircases, could be considered five separate buildings, because the stair towers were detached from the main building by about four inches.
Earthquake bracing used in the building's second through fifth floors consisted of shear walls, but a rarely used slip joint technique used with the concrete walls at the first floor kept them from being part of that system.
Damage to the building, including ceiling tiles, telephone equipment, and elevator doors, was excessive at the basement and the first floor, with little damage further up.
The difference in rigidity at the second floor was proposed as a cause of the considerable damage to the lower levels.
Because the first floor almost collapsed, the building was leaning to the north by almost two feet, and three of the four concrete stair towers fell away from the main building.
Electrical power and communications failed at the hospital at the time of the earthquake, but very few people occupied the lower floors and the stairways at the early hour.
The duration of strong ground motion at that location was probably similar to the 12 seconds observed at the Pacoima Dam, and another few seconds' shaking is thought to have been enough to bring the building to collapse.
The Veterans Administration Hospital entered into service as a tuberculosis hospital in 1926 and became a general hospital in the 1960s.
By 1971, the facility comprised 45 individual buildings, all lying within of the fault rupture in Sylmar, but the structural damage was found to have occurred as a result of the shaking and not from ground displacement or faulting.
Twenty-six buildings that were built prior to 1933 had been constructed following the local building codes and did not require seismic-resistant designs.
These buildings suffered the most damage, with four buildings totally collapsing, which resulted in a large loss of life at the facility.
Most of the masonry and reinforced concrete buildings constructed after 1933 withstood the shaking and most did not collapse, but in 1972 a resolution came forth to abandon the site and the remaining structures were later demolished, the site becoming a city park.
Few strong motion seismometer installations were present outside of the western United States prior to the San Fernando earthquake but, upon a recommendation by the Earthquake and Wind Forces Committee, the Veterans Administration entered into an agreement with the Seismological Field Service (then associated with NOAA) to install the instruments at all VA sites in Uniform Building Code zones two and three.
It had been established that these zones had a higher likelihood of experiencing strong ground acceleration, and the plan was made to furnish the selected VA hospitals with two instruments.
One unit would be installed within the structure and the second would be set up as a free-field unit located a short distance away from the facility.
As of 1973, a few of the highest risk (26 were completed in zone 3 alone) sites that had been completed were in Seattle, Memphis, Charleston, and Boston.
The lower dam was very close to breaching, and approximately 80,000 people were evacuated for four days while the water level in the reservoir was lowered.
Some canals in the area of the dams were damaged and not usable, and dikes experienced slumping but these did not present a hazard.
The earthen lip of the dam fell into the reservoir and brought with it the concrete lining, while what remained of the dam was just above the water level.
The upper lake subsided and was displaced about as a result of the ground movement, and the dam's concrete lining cracked and slumped.
The upper dam was constructed in 1921 with the hydraulic fill process, three years after the larger lower dam, which was fabricated using the same style.
An inspection of the lower dam in 1964 paved the way towards an arrangement between the State of California and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power that would maintain the reservoir's water level that was reduced 10 feet lower than was typical.
Since the collapse of the dam lowered its overall height, the decision to reduce its capacity proved to be a valuable bit of insurance.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, as well as the County of Los Angeles, investigated and verified that local soil conditions contributed to the ground displacement and resulting destruction.
The area of surface breaks on the ground at the site was (at its widest) and stretched down a 1% grade slope towards the southwest.
As much as of lateral motion was observed on either end of the slide, and trenches that were excavated during the examination at the site revealed that some of the cracks were up to deep.
The two facilities, located near Grapevine and Weldon canyons that channel water and debris off the Sierra Madre Mountains, are lined by steep ridges and have formed alluvial fans at their mouths.
The narrow band of ground disturbances were found to have been the result of settling of the soft soil in a downhill motion.
Soil liquefaction played a role within confined areas of the slide, but it was not responsible for all the motion at the site, and tectonic slip of faults in the area was also excluded as a cause.
Substantial disruption to about 10 miles of freeways in the northern San Fernando Valley took place, with most of the damage occurring at the Foothill Freeway / Golden State Freeway interchange, and along a five-mile stretch of Interstate 210.
On Interstate 5, the most significant damage was between the Newhall Pass interchange on the north end and the I-5 / I-405 interchange in the south, where subsidence at the bridge approaches and cracking and buckling of the roadway made it unusable.
Several landslides occurred between Balboa Boulevard and California State Route 14, but the most significant damage occurred at the two major interchanges.
The Antelope Valley Freeway had damage from Newhall Pass to the northeast, primarily from settling and alignment issues, as well as splintering and cracking at the Santa Clara River and Solemint bridges.
While the Newhall Pass interchange was still under construction at the time of the earthquake, the requisite components of the overpass were complete.
Vibration caused two of the bridge's 191-foot sections to fall from a maximum height of , along with one of the supporting pillars.
The spans slipped off of their supports at either end due to lack of proper ties and insufficient space (a seat was provided) on the support columns.
Ground displacement at the site was ruled out as a major cause of the failure, and in addition to the fallen sections and a crane that was struck during the collapse, other portions of the overpass were also damaged.
Shear cracking occurred at the column closest to the western abutment, and the ground at the same column's base exhibited evidence of rotation.
This interchange is a broad complex of overpasses and bridges that was nearly complete at the time of the earthquake and not all portions were open to traffic.
Several instances of failure or collapse at the site took place and two men were killed while driving in a pickup truck as a result.
The westbound I-210 to southbound I-5, which was complete except for paving at the ramp section, collapsed to the north, likely because of vibration that moved the overpass off its supports due to an inadequate seat.
Unlike the situation at the Antelope Valley Interchange, permanent ground movement (defined as several inches of left-lateral displacement with possibly an element of thrusting) was observed in the area.
The movement contributed to heavy damage at the Sylmar Juvenile Hall facility, Sylmar Converter Station, and the Metropolitan Water District Treatment Plant, but its effects on the interchange was not completely understood as of a 1971 report from the California Institute of Technology.
The large number of public school buildings in the Los Angeles area displayed mixed responses to the shaking, and those that were built after the enforcement of the Field Act clearly showed the results of the reformed construction styles.
The Field Act was put into effect just one month following the destructive March 1933 Long Beach earthquake that damaged many public school buildings in Long Beach, Compton, and Whittier.
The Los Angeles Unified School District had 660 schools consisting of 9,200 buildings at the time of the earthquake, with 110 masonry buildings that had not been reinforced to meet the new standards.
All these buildings had been previously inspected with regard to the requirements of the Act, and many were reinforced or rebuilt at that time, but earthquake engineering experts recommended further immediate refurbishment or demolition after a separate evaluation was done after the February 1971 earthquake, and within a year and a half the district followed through with the direction with regard to about 100 structures.
At Los Angeles High School ( from Pacoima Dam) where the exterior walls of the main pre-Field Act building (constructed 1917) were unreinforced brick masonry, long portions of the parapet and the associated brick veneer broke off and some fragments fell through the roof to a lower floor, while other material landed on an exit stairway and into a courtyard area.
The main building was demolished at a cost of $127,000, and none of the various post-Field Act buildings were damaged at the site.
Except for the concrete gymnasium, all of the buildings at Sylmar High School ( from Pacoima Dam) were post-Field Act, one-story, wood construction.
At , Hubbard Street Elementary School was the closest school to Pacoima dam, and was also less than a mile from the Veterans Hospital complex.
The wood frame buildings (classrooms, a multipurpose building, and some bungalows) were built after the Field Act, and damage and cleanup costs there totaled $42,000.
After the M6.4 1933 Long Beach earthquake the Field Act was passed the following month, and after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, the Seismic Hazards Mapping Act and Senate Bill 1953 (hospital safety requirements) were established.
Following the San Fernando event, earthquake engineers and seismologists from established scientific organizations, as well as the newly formed Los Angeles County Earthquake Commission, stated their recommendations that were based on the lessons learned.
The list of items needing improvements included building codes, dams and bridges being made more earthquake resistant, hospitals that are designed to remain operational, and the restriction of development near known fault zones.
Introduced as Senate Bill 520 and signed into law in December 1972, this legislation was originally known as the Alquist-Priolo Geologic Hazard Zones Act, and had the goal of reducing damage and losses due to surface fault ruptures or fault creep.
Since it is presumed that surface rupture will likely take place where past surface displacement has occurred, the state geologist was given the responsibility for evaluating and mapping faults that had evidence of Holocene rupture, and creating regulatory zones around them called Earthquake Fault Zones.
State and local agencies (as well as the property owner) were then responsible for enforcing or complying with the building restrictions.
Prior to the San Fernando earthquake, some structural engineers had already believed that the existing groundwork for seismic design required enhancement.
Despite the compelling seismogram from the 1940 event in El Centro, strong-motion seismology was not explicitly sought until later events occurred—the San Fernando earthquake made evident the need for more data for earthquake engineering applications.
The California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program was initiated in 1971 with the goal of maximizing the volume of data by furnishing and maintaining instruments at selected lifeline structures, buildings, and ground response stations.
The 1979 Imperial Valley and 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquakes were presented as gainful events that were recorded during that period, because both produced valuable data that increased knowledge of how moderate events affect buildings.
The success of the Imperial Valley event was especially pronounced because of a recently constructed and fully instrumented government building that was shaken to the point of failure.
Lake Tear of the Clouds, at the col between Mounts Marcy and Skylight is often cited as the highest source of the Hudson River, via Feldspar Brook and the Opalescent River, even though the main stem of the Opalescent River has as its source a higher point two miles north of Lake of the Clouds, and that stem is a mile longer than Feldspar Brook.
Its first recorded ascent was on August 5, 1837, by a large party led by Ebenezer Emmons looking for the source of the East Fork of the Hudson River.
Vice President (and former governor) Theodore Roosevelt was at his hunting camp, Tahawus, on September 14, 1901, after summiting Marcy, when he was informed that President William McKinley, who had been shot a week earlier, had taken a serious turn for the worse.
Roosevelt and his party hiked ten miles (16 km) down the southwest face of the mountain to Newcomb, New York where he hired a stage coach to take him to the closest train station at North Creek.
At some point along the route, Roosevelt learned that McKinley had died, and so Roosevelt took the train to Buffalo to be sworn in as the President.
There are two plaques at the top commemorating the centennial of the first dated climb as well as the mountain summit itself.
From there it is 7.4 miles (11.2 km) to the summit, a lengthy 14.8-mile (22.4 km) roundtrip which can nevertheless be done in a day.
Visibility on the summit occasionally affords very distant views of most of the Monteregian Hills volcano chain in Quebec's St Lawrence valley as far north as Mont St Hillaire.
Views of Burlington and Lake Champlain adorn the surrounding Green Mountains with visibility extending far beyond the Southern Adirondacks as well.
Although most summer days are comfortably humid on Mount Marcy, episodes of warmth and moderate humidity can occur with heat index values > .
Since 1981 at Mount Marcy (elevation ), the highest air temperature was on 08/03/1988, and the highest daily average mean dew point was on 08/01/2006.
The plant hardiness zone on Mount Marcy (elevation ) is 3b with an average annual extreme minimum air temperature of .
Alapana, sometimes also called ragam, is the exposition of a raga or tone - a slow improvisation with no rhythm, where the raga acts as the basis of embellishment.
In performing alapana, performers consider each raga as an object that has beginnings and endings and consists somehow of sequences of thought.
In a Carnatic concert, the alapana introducing a major composition may last 45 minutes or more, while those preceding other compositions are proportionately shorter.
Performers and instrumental accompanists often render the alapana together and individually (for example, vocalist's phrases are shadowed by that of a violinist, and later the violinist may perform solo).
The James–Younger Gang was a notable 19th-century gang of American outlaws that centered around Jesse James and his brother Frank James.
As well as the notorious James brothers, at various times it included the Younger brothers (Cole, Jim, John, and Bob), John Jarrett (married to the Youngers' sister Josie), Arthur McCoy, George Shepherd, Oliver Shepherd, William McDaniel, Tom McDaniel, Clell Miller, Charlie Pitts (born Samuel A.
The James–Younger Gang had its origins in a group of Confederate bushwhackers that participated in the bitter partisan fighting that wracked Missouri during the American Civil War.
After the war, the men continued to plunder and murder, though the motive shifted to personal profit rather than for the glory of the Confederacy.
The James–Younger Gang dissolved in 1876, following the capture of the Younger brothers in Minnesota during the ill-fated attempt to rob the Northfield First National Bank.
Three years later, Jesse James organized a new gang, including Clell Miller's brother Ed and the Ford brothers (Robert and Charles), and renewed his criminal career.
For nearly a decade following the Civil War, the James–Younger Gang was among the most feared, most publicized, and most wanted confederations of outlaws on the American frontier.
Though their crimes were reckless and brutal, many members of the gang commanded a notoriety in the public eye that earned the gang significant popular support and sympathy.
The gang's activities spanned much of the central part of the country; they are suspected of having robbed banks, trains, and stagecoaches in at least eleven states: Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, and West Virginia.
From the beginning of the American Civil War, the state of Missouri had chosen not to secede from the Union but not to fight for it or against it either: its position, as determined by an 1861 constitutional convention, was officially neutral.
Missouri, however, had been the scene of much of the agitation about slavery leading up to the outbreak of the war, and was home to dedicated partisans from both sides.
The Missouri State Guard and the newly elected Governor of Missouri, Claiborne Fox Jackson, who maintained implicit Southern sympathies, were forced into exile as Union troops under Nathaniel Lyon and John C. Frémont took control of the state.
Still, pro-Confederate guerrillas resisted; by early 1862, the Unionist provisional government mobilized a state militia to fight the increasingly organized and deadly partisans.
This conflict (fought largely, though not exclusively, between Missourians themselves) raged until after the fall of Richmond and the surrender of General Robert E. Lee, costing thousands of lives and devastating broad swathes of the Missouri countryside.
Union troops often executed or tortured suspects without trial and burned the homes of suspected guerrillas and those suspected of aiding or harboring them.
Where credentials were suspect, the accused guerrilla was often executed, as in the case of Lt. Col. Frisby McCullough after the Battle of Kirksville.
Zerelda Samuel, the mother of Frank and Jesse James, was an outspoken partisan of the South, though the Youngers' father, Henry Washington Younger, was believed to be a Unionist.
Cole Younger's initial decision to fight as a bushwhacker is usually attributed to the death of his father at the hands of Union forces in July 1862.
He and Frank James fought under one of the most famous Confederate bushwhackers, William Clarke Quantrill, though Cole eventually joined the regular Confederate Army.
At the war's end, Frank James surrendered in Kentucky; Jesse James attempted to surrender to Union militia but was shot through the lung outside of Lexington, Missouri.
The James brothers, however, continued to associate with their old guerrilla comrades, who remained together under the leadership of Archie Clement.
On February 12, 1866, a group of gunmen carried out one of the first daylight, peacetime, armed bank robberies in U.S. history when they held up the Clay County Savings Association in Liberty, Missouri.
In later years, the list of suspects grew to include Jesse and Frank James, Cole Younger, John Jarrett, Oliver Shepherd, Bud and Donny Pence, Frank Greg, Bill and James Wilkerson, Joab Perry, Ben Cooper, Red Mankus, and Allen Parmer (who later married Susan James, Frank and Jesse's sister).
Four months later, on June 13, 1866, two members of Quantrill's Raiders were freed from prison in Independence, Missouri; the jailer, Henry Bugler, was killed.
The hold-up most clearly linked to the group was of Alexander Mitchell and Company in Lexington, Missouri, on October 30, 1866, which netted $2,011.50.
Clement was also linked to violence and intimidation against officials of the Republican government that now held power in the state.
On election day, Clement led his men into Lexington, where they drove Republican voters away from the polls, thereby securing a Republican defeat.
Despite the death of Clement, his old followers remained together, and robbed a bank across the Missouri River from Lexington in Richmond, Missouri, on May 22, 1867, in which the town mayor and two lawmen were killed.
This set the stage for the emergence of the James and Younger brothers, and the transformation of the old crew into the James–Younger Gang.
John Jarrett and Arthur McCoy were mentioned in numerous newspaper accounts, so they were likely active in gang activities up to 1875.
On December 7, 1869, Frank and Jesse James are believed to have robbed the Daviess County Savings Association in Gallatin, Missouri.
The bank contacted the Pinkerton National Detective Agency in Chicago, the first involvement of the famous agency in the pursuit of the James–Younger Gang.
Agency founder Allan Pinkerton dispatched his son, Robert Pinkerton, who joined a county sheriff in tracking the gang to a farm in Civil Bend, Missouri.
On September 23, 1872, three men (identified by former bushwhacker Jim Chiles as Jesse James and Cole and John Younger) robbed a ticket booth of the Second Annual Kansas City Industrial Exposition, amid thousands of people.
Apart from Chiles' testimony, there is no other evidence this crime was committed by the James or Younger brothers, and Jesse later wrote a letter denying his or the Youngers' involvement.
Arthur McCoy had lived in this area and knew it quite well; he was likely involved and may have been the planner and leader.
On July 21, 1873, the gang carried out what was arguably the first train robbery west of the Mississippi River, derailing a locomotive of the Rock Island Railroad near Adair, Iowa.
The outlaws took $2,337 from the express safe in the baggage car, having narrowly missed a transcontinental express shipment of a large amount of cash.
There, the gang returned a pocket watch to a Confederate veteran, saying that Northern men had driven them to outlawry and that they intended to make them pay for it.
In both train robberies, their usual target, the safe in the baggage car belonging to an express company, held an unusually small amount of money.
On this occasion, the outlaws reportedly examined the hands of the passengers to ensure that they did not rob any working men.
To correct errors, the gang telegraphed a report of the Gads Hill robbery to the St. Louis Dispatch newspaper for publication.
On March 11, 1874, John W. Whicher, the agent who was sent to investigate the James brothers, was found shot to death alongside a rural road in Jackson County, Missouri.
Two other agents, John Boyle and Louis J. Lull, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Edwin B. Daniels to track the Youngers, posed as cattle buyers.
On March 17, 1874, the trio was stopped and attacked by John and Jim Younger on a rural stretch of road near Monegaw Springs, Missouri.
On August 30, three of the gang held up a stagecoach across the Missouri River from Lexington, Missouri, in view of hundreds of onlookers on the bluffs of the town.
The blast nearly severed the right arm of Zerelda Samuel, the James boys' mother (the arm had to be amputated at the elbow that night), and killed their 9-year-old half-brother, Archie Samuel.
On April 12, 1875, an unknown gunman shot dead Daniel Askew, a neighbor and former Union militiaman who may have been suspected of providing the Pinkertons with a base for their raid.
By September 1875, at least part of the gang had ventured east to Huntington, West Virginia, where they robbed a bank on September 7.
Two new members participated: Tom McDaniel (brother of Bud) and Tom Webb (a Confederate veteran who had been at Lawrence with Frank and Cole).
Also in 1875, the two James brothers moved to the outskirts of Nashville, Tennessee, probably to save their mother from further raids by detectives.
Once there, Jesse James began to write letters to the local press, asserting his place as a Confederate hero and a martyr to Radical Republican vindictiveness.
The Rocky Cut raid set the stage for the final act of the James–Younger Gang: the famous Northfield, Minnesota raid on September 7, 1876.
Jim Younger had never wanted anything to do with Cole's outlaw activities, but he agreed to go out of family loyalty.
According to public reports, it was a perfectly ordinary rural bank, though rumors persisted that General Adelbert Ames, son of the owner of the Ames Mill in Northfield, had deposited $50,000 there.
Shortly after the robbery, Bob Younger declared that they had selected it because of its connection to two Union generals and Radical Republican politicians: Benjamin Butler and his son-in-law Adelbert Ames.
General Ames had just stepped down as Governor of Mississippi, where he had been strongly identified with civil rights for freedmen.
He had recently moved to Northfield, where his father owned the mill on the Cannon River and had a large amount of stock in the bank.
Cole, Jim and Bob Younger, Frank and Jesse James, Charlie Pitts, Clell Miller and Bill Chadwell took the train to St. Paul, Minnesota in early September 1876.
After a layover in St. Paul they divided into two groups, one going to Mankato, the other to Red Wing, on either side of Northfield.
They purchased expensive horses and scouted the terrain around the towns, agreeing to meet south of Northfield along the Cannon River near Dundas on the morning of September 7, 1876.
Northfield residents had seen the gang leave a local restaurant near the mill shortly after noon, where they dined on fried eggs.
They testified at the Younger brothers' trial that the group smelled of alcohol and that the gang was obviously under the influence when they greeted General Ames.
Three of the outlaws (Bob Younger, Frank James and Charlie Pitts) crossed the bridge by the Ames Mill and entered the bank; the other five (Jesse James, Cole and Jim Younger, Bill Stiles and Clell Miller) stood guard outside.
Two were standing outside the bank’s front door and the other three were waiting in Mills Square to guard the gang's escape route.
During the gun battle, medical student Henry Wheeler killed Miller, shooting from a third-floor window of the Dampier House Hotel, across the street from the bank.
Other civilians wounded the Younger brothers (Cole was shot in his left hip, Bob suffered a shattered elbow, and Jim was shot in the jaw).
The only civilian fatality on the street was 30-year-old Nicholas Gustafson, an unarmed recent Swedish immigrant, who was killed by Cole Younger at the corner of 5th Street and Division.
Thirteen Swedish families lived west of Northfield in the Millersburg area in 1876, including Peter Gustafson, who had recently been joined by his brother Nicolaus and nephew Ernst from Sweden.
West of Millersburg that morning, Peter Youngquist harnessed his mules and headed for Northfield to sell farm produce, accompanied by Gustafson and three others.
The Swedes arrived in Northfield about 1:00 PM and set up their vegetable wagon along the Cannon River near 5th Street.
Nicolaus Gustafson ran to the intersection of Division and 5th a block away, where he was shot in the head as the bank was being robbed.
Bunker escaped from the bank by running out the back door despite being wounded in the right shoulder by Pitts as he ran.
The three robbers then ran out of the bank after hearing the shooting outside and mounted their horses to make a run for it, having taken only several bags of nickels from the bank.
In addition to the death of Miller and Stiles, every one of the rest of the gang was wounded, including Frank James and Pitts, both shot in their right legs.
The six surviving outlaws rode out of town on the Dundas Road toward Millersburg where four of them had spent the night before.
After several days the gang had only reached the western outskirts of Mankato when they decided to split up (despite persistent stories to the contrary, Cole Younger told interviewers that they all agreed to the decision).
The Youngers and Pitts remained on foot, moving west, until finally they were cornered in a swamp called Hanska Slough, just south of La Salle, Minnesota, on September 21, two weeks after the Northfield raid.
Frank and Jesse secured horses and fled west across southern Minnesota, turning south just inside the border of the Dakota Territory.
In the face of hundreds of pursuers and a nationwide alarm, Frank and Jesse escaped, but the infamous James–Younger Gang was no more.
On November 16, a grand jury issued four indictments — one each for the first-degree murders of Joseph Heywood and Nicolaus Gustafson, one for bank robbery, and one for assault with deadly weapons on the wounded bank clerk, Bunker.
The three brothers pleaded guilty on November 20, 1876 and were sentenced to life terms in the state penitentiary at Stillwater.
Peter Youngquist and Carl Hirdler donated an acre of land adjacent to their homes overlooking Circle Lake and in 1877 John Olson was hired to build the Christdala Evangelical Swedish Lutheran Church west of Millersburg.
Today the church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and historical markers in front of the church tell the story of Nicolaus Gustafson and the founding of Christdala.
On March 11, 1881, Jesse, Ryan, and Jesse's cousin Wood Hite robbed a federal paymaster at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, taking $5,240.
Shortly afterward, a drunk and boastful Ryan was arrested in Whites Creek, near Nashville, and both Frank and Jesse James fled back to Missouri.
On July 15, 1881, Frank and Jesse James, Wood and Clarence Hite, and Dick Liddil robbed the Rock Island Railroad near Winston, Missouri of $900.
With this new outbreak of train robberies, the new Governor of Missouri, Thomas T. Crittenden, convinced the state's railroad and express executives to put up the money for a large reward for the capture of the James brothers.
On February 11, 1882, James Timberlake arrested Wood Hite's brother Clarence, who made a confession but died of tuberculosis in prison.
Only two cases ever came to trial – one in Gallatin, Missouri for the July 15, 1881 robbery of the Rock Island Line train at Winston, Missouri in which a train crewman and a passenger were killed, and one in Huntsville, Alabama for the March 11, 1881 robbery of a United States Army Corps of Engineers payroll at Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
Missouri kept jurisdiction over him with other charges but they never came to trial and they kept him from being extradited to Minnesota.
They ended up being model prisoners and in one incident helped keep other prisoners from escaping during a fire at the prison.
Therefore, the thermal efficiency of the engine is increased in accordance with the vapour power cycle analysis of the second law of thermodynamics.
The reason all engines are not higher compression is because for any given octane, the fuel will prematurely detonate with a higher than normal compression ratio.
However, a forced induction engine can have a higher total compression without detonation because the air charge can be cooled after the first stage of compression, using an intercooler.
One of the primary concerns in internal combustion emissions is a factor called the NOx fraction, or the amount of nitrogen/oxygen compounds the engine produces.
Superchargers use various different types of compressors but are all powered directly by the rotation of the engine, usually through a belt drive.
A turbocharger relies on the volume and velocity of exhaust gases to spin (spool) the turbine wheel, which is connected to the compressor wheel via a common shaft.
The chief benefit of a turbocharger is that it consumes less power from the engine than a supercharger; the main drawback is that engine response suffers greatly because it takes time for the turbocharger to come up to speed (spool up).
Any given turbo design is inherently one of compromise; a smaller turbo will spool quickly and deliver full boost pressure at low engine speeds, but boost pressure will suffer at high engine RPM.
Other common design issues include limited turbine lifespan, due to the high exhaust temperatures it must withstand, and the restrictive effect the turbine has upon exhaust flow.
Because it is a positive displacement device, this compressor has the advantage of producing the same pressure ratio at any engine speed.
These drawbacks are countered by charge-air cooling, which passes the air leaving the turbocharger or supercharger through a heat exchanger typically called an intercooler.
This is done by cooling the charge air with an ambient flow of either air (air-air intercooler) or liquid (liquid-to-air intercooler).
In this way an intercooler can greatly increase the ability to run higher absolute compression ratios and take full advantage of using compressors in series.
The only drawbacks of intercooling are the intercooler's size (typically close to the size of a radiator), and the associated plumbing and piping.
Water injection, unlike nitrous oxide or forced induction, doesn't add much power to the engine by itself, but allows more power to be safely added.
Due to the lower intake temperatures and denser air charge, more boost pressure and timing advance can be safely added without using higher octane fuel.
Diesel engines do not have preignition problems because fuel is injected at the end of the compression stroke, therefore higher compression is used.
Diesel two-strokes work in a different way to petrol ones and must have some form of forced induction - generally a supercharger - to work at all.
To obtain more power from higher boost levels and maintain reliability, many engine components have to be replaced or upgraded from that of naturally aspirated powertrains.
Ethanol, methanol, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) allow higher boost than gasoline, because of their higher resistance to autoignition (lower tendency to knock).
Diesel engines can also tolerate much higher levels of boost pressure than Otto cycle engines, because only air is being compressed during the compression phase, and fuel is injected later, removing the knocking issue entirely.
Unique design considerations for motorcycles include tractable power delivery; and packaging for heat removal, space conservation, and desired center of gravity.
In dhrupad singing the alap is unmetered, improvised (within the raga) and unaccompanied (except for the tanpura drone), and started at a slow tempo.
For people unfamiliar with the raga form, it introduces the mode (the pattern of ascending and perhaps different descending scale) to the listener.
The jor and jhala can be seen as separate sections of the performance, or as parts of the alap; in the same way, jhala can be seen as a part of jor.
Even though Raychoudhuri admits the 13th stage is wholly extinct, as we see we are in jhala already at the fourth stage; the sthai-to-abhog movement is all part of the first stage (vilambit).
Since predictions are about what has yet to be observed and because there is no necessary connection between what has been observed and what will be observed, there is no objective justification for these predictions.
Deductive logic cannot be used to infer predictions about future observations based on past observations because there are no valid rules of deductive logic for such inferences.
Hume's answer was that observations of one kind of event following another kind of event result in habits of regularity (i.e., associating one kind of event with another kind).
The justification of rules of a deductive system depends on our judgements about whether to reject or accept specific deductive inferences.
Thus, for Goodman, the problem of induction dissolves into the same problem as justifying a deductive system and while, according to Goodman, Hume was on the right track with habits of mind, the problem is more complex than Hume realized.
However, the confirmation is not a problem of justification but instead it is a problem of precisely defining how evidence confirms generalizations.
The generalization that all men in a given room are third sons, however, is not a basis for predicting that a given man in that room is a third son.
This problem is known as Goodman's paradox: from the apparently strong evidence that all emeralds examined thus far have been green, one may inductively conclude that all future emeralds will be green.
All past observed emeralds were green, and we formed a habit of thinking the next emerald will be green, but they were equally grue, and we do not form habits concerning grueness.
A state description is a (usually infinite) conjunction containing every possible ground atomic sentence, either negated or unnegated; such a conjunction describes a possible state of the whole universe.
An alternative approach inspired by Carnap defines a natural kind to be a set whose members are more similar to each other than each non-member is to at least one member.
However, Goodman argued, that this definition would make the set of all red round things, red wooden things, and round wooden things (cf.
between the present and past circumstances in which the word was used, and between the present and past phonetic utterances of the word.
Ostensive learning is a case of induction, and a curiously comfortable one, since each man's spacing of qualities and kind is enough like his neighbor's.
Quine, following Watanabe, suggests Darwin's theory as an explanation: if people's innate spacing of qualities is a gene-linked trait, then the spacing that has made for the most successful inductions will have tended to predominate through natural selection.
However, this cannot account for the human ability to dynamically refine one's spacing of qualities in the course of getting acquainted with a new area.
Kripke then argues for an interpretation of Wittgenstein as holding that the meanings of words are not individually contained mental entities.
Though similar in name, the Ur-grue is significantly different from the classic grue, being more akin to an evil god than a simple predatory monster.
In video technology, 24p refers to a video format that operates at 24 frames per second (typically, 23.976 frames/s when using equipment based on NTSC frame rates) frame rate with progressive scanning (not interlaced).
There are two common workflows for processing 24p material using video equipment, one using PAL frame rates, and the other using NTSC frame rates.
As for audio, the ≈4% increase in speed raises the pitch by 0.7 of a semitone, which again typically is not noticed.
If 24p footage cannot be sped up, (for example if it were coming through a live NTSC or HD feed) it instead can be converted in a pattern where most frames were held on screen for two fields, but every half second a frame would be held for three fields.
This was the common result when programs were shot on film or had film portions, edited on NTSC, and then shown in PAL countries (mostly music videos).
NTSC to PAL conversion also tends to blur each film frame into the next, and so is seen as a sub-optimal way to view film footage.
30p can be preferable over 24p since performing a standards conversion to 25i PAL has fewer technical complexities – any NTSC-PAL converter will do.
The process of transferring 24frame/s video at 25frame/s rates is also the most common method for ingesting 24p film rushes into a non-linear editor.
The resulting 25frame/s video can then be transferred into a non-linear editing system at 25 frame/s, maintaining the 1:1 frame correspondence between film frames and video frames.
Once in the non-linear editing system, the editing system, knowing that the material actually originated 24frame/s rather than at 25frame/s, will replay it at the correct speed.
The original film Keykode and 24frame/s audio timecode can be then be reconciled with the 25frame/s telecine timecode by the generation of a telecine log file containing this information.
Again, once the non-linear editor has this information, editing can be performed entirely in terms of 24frame/s timecode, and the Keykode information preserved for either film cutting or digital intermediate post-production of scanned film images.
Because sound is recorded separately from moving pictures in 24p projects, there are no problems regarding synchronization or audio pitch: the audio material is simply ingested separately from the moving picture material at its natural rate, and synchronized within the non-linear editor.
Working with 24p material via video equipment working at NTSC frame rates has many of the same attributes as the 24 frame/s workflow, but is more complicated by the NTSC-rate practice of using telecine pull-down rather than the PAL practice of transferring 24 frame/s material at 25 frame/s.
The first field (the odd field) contains visible scan lines 21-263 and the second field (the even field) contains visible scan lines 283–525.
24p cameras do not, as NTSC video cameras do, shoot 30 interlaced frames per second (60 fields); they shoot 24 full progressive frames per second.
It can be captured as a standard 60i file and edited like footage from any other camera, while still retaining its 24p aesthetic.
There can be issues when editing the footage as 60i, however, including choppiness in short transitions or fades, and also a mismatch in the motion characteristics of the footage and any graphics which may be added to it, such as text or logos.
So, while 24p footage can be edited as 60i, it is usually better to edit the footage on a 24p timeline with the pulldown removed.
Most current prosumer-level editing applications which edit native 24p can remove the 3:2 pulldown for editing in native 24p, although some cannot.
However, this is not ideal; the removal of the 3:2 pulldown involves reconstruction of every fourth frame from two different field groups, which can cause a generational loss and some banding problems if the application doesn't interpret the footage properly.
It converts the first frame into two fields, the second into three fields, the third into three fields, and the fourth into two fields.
This pulldown pattern is used to avoid segmenting a 24p frame into two different 60i fields that exist in two different 60i frames.
The advanced pulldown scheme avoids this as every 24p frame can be found intact within the resulting sequence of 60i frames, yet the compression efficiency remains the same as with 3:2 pulldown.
Then, only every fifth frame will be made up of fields from two different frames, and that frame can be discarded, leaving only the other four full frames.
Because the 2:3:3:2 scheme was devised for efficient pulldown removal for editing, and because 24p editing applications more universally support its removal, it should always be used when planning to edit in native 24p.
Editing systems need specific support for the 24pA format to be able to detect and remove the pulldown properly so that the 24p frames can be edited in a 24p timeline.
However, among the editing applications able to remove pulldown and edit in native 24p, it is more common for them to have support for 24pA 2:3:3:2 pulldown than for standard 24p 3:2 pulldown removal.
Still other editing applications have the option for editing on a 24p timeline, and will accept footage where the pulldown has already been removed in another application.
Also because the 2:3:3:2 pulldown scheme was devised in order to make pulldown removal for editing in native 24p more efficient, the pulldown arrangement is not ideal for watching footage.
There can be exaggerated stutters in motion, because the frames which are split into three fields are not only onscreen for 50% longer than the other frames, they are back-to-back.
It involves using optical flow to extrapolate 24 frames of information from 60 frames while compensating for the time displacement between the two.
For example, in one second of 60i footage, each image is captured at 1/60 second, which does not perfectly align with images that would have been captured 24 times per second.
Since the images were captured at 1/60 second, there is less motion blur between images than there would have been if shot at 24 frame/s with a 180° shutter (i.e.
Optical flow is used to introduce motion blur between frames, mimicking the motion blur present when shooting the standard 180° shutter angle.
This method of creating motion blur is far more realistic than simple frame blending, which is simple to implement and usually a standard feature in most non-linear editing programs.
It uses all of the temporal information in 50i or 60i footage to create the equivalent of a slow motion sequence shot at 50 or 60 frames per second, respectively.
VirtualDub, along with AviSynth, can be used to perform a 60i to 24p conversion in a similar way to After Effects.
The reason AviSynth must be used is because VirtualDub cannot split the fields into a 60p sequence on its own, and this technique requires 60p input.
In the 2:2:2:4 pulldown scheme, used as a choice primarily by Apple's Final Cut Pro v7 and earlier, every fourth frame is repeated.
This scheme is easier for slower hardware to implement as it requires less processing, but it introduces significant judder due to frame duplication.
Many HD monitors are able to receive a 24p signal (not a 60i signal with pulldown added) and can display the 24p material directly.
Many early NTSC plasma and LCD monitors operated at 60 Hz and only supported 1080i (60i) or 720p (60p) content sources, requiring input signals 24p to be converted by the external source.
Many monitors now support signal processing at 120 Hz or higher, allowing 24p content to be displayed without judder by showing each frame for a fixed number of refresh cycles.
In 2002, Panasonic released the Prosumer DV camera AG-DVX100 (followed by the updated models AG-DVX100A in 2003 and AG-DVX100B in 2005).
This camera was the first DV camera that could switch between different frame rates, including 60i, 30p, and 24p with a choice between the 2:3:3:2 or 3:2 pulldown schemes.
Following the success of the DVX100, in December, 2005, Panasonic released the Panasonic AG-HVX200, which offers 24p HD at the sub-$10,000 level.
Basically an HD version of the DVX100 series, it heavily targets independent filmmakers, as HD has a much higher resolution than DV and will generally look superior on a film blow-up.
It is also noteworthy that the camera records HD footage, complete with clip information, to static P2 memory cards instead of tape.
For recording 24p to tape in formats which typically do not support 24p, such as DV, options include PsF (Progressive segmented Frame), 2:3 Pulldown and advanced pulldown.
Some 24p productions, especially those made only for NTSC TV and video distribution (e.g., in Canada or the USA), actually have a frame rate of 24000 ÷ 1001, or 23.976023976023976 frame/s.
In other words, when a time code was reached of 00:16:40:00, this does not mean the video has played for 16 real minutes and 40 real seconds (1000 seconds), but that it has actually played for exactly 16 minutes and 41 seconds (1001 seconds).
On the other hand, some Netflix originals are encoded in 24.000 (for example The Witcher), which is problematic to play for some devices, for example Apple TV.
Both HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc support the 24p frame rate, but technical implementations of this mode are different among the two formats.
Digital cinema equipment is now capable of handling much higher frame rates, such as the 48p frame rate, along with the traditional 24p.
Some current, best-of-breed professional video cameras provide 120 frame/s progressive capture, which is 5 times 24p and can be converted to 24p, 30p, 50i, and 60i/p with editing options and precision in motion shots.
The game elicited much commentary from the company and the video game press in the following years, though as of 2019, all trademarks had expired, with no announced plans to work on the game.
Inquiry over a new title was subsequently large enough to warrant an entry in Square Enix's FAQ page, in which the company noted that no new game was in development, though this did not mean the series was dead.
In 1953, under Granz's direction, she recorded her first album with Peterson's rhythm section: Herb Ellis on guitar, Ray Brown on double bass, and J. C. Heard on drums.
In 1955, she wrote a letter to Lawrence Berk asking him to give her a chance to study at his school.
Akiyoshi composed and arranged music for the band, and Tabackin served as the band's featured soloist on tenor saxophone and flute.
BMG continued to release her big band's recordings in Japan but remained skeptical about releasing the music in the United States Although Akiyoshi was able to release several albums in the U.S. featuring her piano in solo and small combo settings, many of her later big band albums were released only in Japan.
On Monday, 29 December 2003, her band played its final concert at Birdland in New York City, where it had enjoyed a regular Monday night gig for more than seven years.
Akiyoshi explained that she disbanded the ensemble because she was frustrated by her inability to obtain U.S. recording contracts for the big band.
She also said that she wanted to concentrate on her piano playing from which she had been distracted by years of composing and arranging.
In 1999, Akiyoshi was approached by Kyudo Nakagawa, a Buddhist priest, who asked her to write a piece for his hometown of Hiroshima.
Finally she found a picture of a young woman emerging from an underground shelter with a faint smile on her face.
Radio 1RPH 1125 kHz Canberra (89.5FM Wagga, 99.5FM Junee) is a volunteer-staffed AM band radio broadcast station in the Australian Capital Territory serving all of the ACT and surrounding areas of NSW including Queanbeyan, Yass and Michelago, with FM repeaters at Wagga and Junee, and a streaming media on its web site.
Its catch-phrases are, Your information station and Turning print into sound, and it is intended to serve all those who are, for any reason, handicapped from reading printed material.
1RPH used to have a frequency just outside the AM band on 1620 kHz, and so suffered little interference, and was heard as far away as the United States.
In February 2016, the station management announced that it had been advised that $38,000 would not be available from the ACT Government's Disability ACT as of July 2016, when these funds would become part of the general National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funds administered by the Commonwealth Government.
Disability Minister Chris Bourke declined to promise funding from ACT resources, but said he would make enquiries of the Federal Minister for Disability.
Leading the effort to publicise this funding shortfall were: President, Lorraine Litster; Vice President, and People With Disabilities ACT president, Robert Altamore; and volunteer broadcaster and ACT Legislative Assembly member, Vicki Dunne MLA.
Litster pointed out that, of the $22 billion/year scheme, only $132 million has been set aside for services including the Radio Print Handicapped Network.
It is a bird of wooded hills, building a stick nest about 3 feet (almost 1 metre) in diameter in the fork of a large tree.
It was noted in a 2010 study that you could possibly distinguish a male and female adult due to the fact that the female tends to be more heavily marked below than a male.
They can easily be confused with the Ayres's hawk-eagle however in flight, the Ayres lacks the white windows on the primaries and tends to be smaller with a nuchal crest.
It occurs in Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, DRCongo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
A 2006 study found that the African hawk eagle, among other raptor species have been declining at high rates outside of protected areas and only seem to be stabilizing through the efforts of national parks.
They tend to hunt either from a perch or from the air and can see prey up to 1 km away.
Their prey of choice tends to be birds and they often flush gamebirds such as spurfowl and guineafowl out of dense vegetation.
It has been found that a pair of eagles can hunt cooperatively with one bird flushing and the other waiting nearby to strike.
This species is monogamous and typically places its nest (in the form of a large platform) below the canopy of tall trees and the nest is built by both the male and female.
In many cases, the male will dive towards the female and the female, in turn, turns to the male and displays her claws.
In a study conducted in Zimbabwe in 1988, 116 African hawk-eagle pairs were assessed in terms of breeding success in two areas of varying substrate quality.
It was found that nests were placed in flat-crowned thorn trees in areas with basaltic soils and round-crowned, rough-barked trees in areas with sandy soil.
Rainfall affected breeding success, laying dates and the sizes of clutches with higher success, later laying dates and larger clutch sizes correlating with higher rainfall.
More breeding attempts were made in open woodland areas than in closed however the number of resulting chicks did not differ between vegetation structure.
A 2008 study found that the first-born chick in a nest will crush, acquire more food than, and inevitably kill the second, smaller chick.
This is a common occurrence in many bird species which allows for a chick to thrive and in the unlikely event that the first chick dies, there will be the second chick to propagate the species.
According to a 1959 study, the instinct for two chicks to fight subsides after a few weeks thus if the second chick manages to survive for that long, the chances that it will fledge will be increased.
When the chicks are newly hatched, they are altricial and are unable to preen, hunt, move in a coordinated fashion and fly.
Only at the age of 24 days can the chicks defend the nest however cannot tear meat off of the food that a parent provides.
At 50 days of age, the chicks show signs of fledging through being able to feed themselves and through flapping their wings.
Coupled with the rise of other Iranian dynasties in the region, the approximate century of Buyid rule represents the period in Iranian history sometimes called the 'Iranian Intermezzo' since, after the Muslim conquest of Persia, it was an interlude between the rule of the Abbasid Caliphate and the Seljuk Empire.
His younger brother Hasan ibn Buya conquered parts of Jibal in the late 930s, and by 943 managed to capture Ray, which he made his capital.
At its greatest extent, the Buyid dynasty encompassed territory of most of today's Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, and Syria, along with parts of Oman, the UAE, Turkey, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
During the 10th and 11th centuries, just prior to the invasion of the Seljuq Turks, the Buyids were the most influential dynasty in the Middle East.
The founder of the dynasty, 'Ali ibn Buya, was originally a soldier in the service of the Daylamite warlord Makan ibn Kaki, but later changed his adherence to the Iranian ruler Mardavij, who had established the Ziyarid dynasty, and was himself related to the ruling dynasty of Gilan, a region bordering Dailam.
In 932, 'Ali was given Karaj as his fief, and thus was able to enlist other Daylamites into his own army.
The Buyids brother, with 400 of their Daylamite supporters, then fled to Fars, where they managed to take control of Arrajan.
However, the Buyids and the Abbasid general Yaqut shortly came into a struggle for the control of Fars, which the Buyids eventually emerged victorious in.
'Ali also made an alliance with the landowners of Fars, which included the Fasanjas family, which would later produce many prominent statesmen for the Buyids.
'Ali then sent his brother Ahmad on an expedition to Kirman, but was forced to withdraw from them after opposition from the Baloch people and the Qafs.
However, Mardavij, who sought to depose the Abbasid caliph of Baghdad and recreate a Zoroastrian Iranian Empire, shortly wrested Khuzestan from the Abbasids and forced 'Ali to recognize him as his suzerain.
Luckily for the Buyids, Mardavij was shortly assassinated in 935, which caused chaos in the Ziyarid territories, a perfect situation for the Buyid brothers; Ali and Ahmad conquered Khuzistan, while Hasan captured the Ziyarid capital of Isfahan, and in 943 captured Rey, which became his capital, thus conquering all of Jibal.
In addition to the other territories the Buyids had conquered, Kirman was conquered in 967, Oman (967), the Jazira (979), Tabaristan (980), and Gorgan (981).
The death of Adud al-Dawla is considered the starting point of the decline of the Buyid dynasty; his son Abu Kalijar Marzuban, who was in Baghdad at the time of his death, first kept his death secret in order to ensure his succession and avoid civil war.
Meanwhile, a Marwanid chieftain named Badh, seized Diyabakr and forced Samsam al-Dawla to recognize him as the vassal ruler of the region.
Furthermore, Mu'ayyad al-Dawla also died during this period, and he was succeeded by Fakhr al-Dawla, who with the aid of Mu'ayyad al-Dawla's vizier Sahib ibn 'Abbad became the ruler of Mu'ayyad al-Dawla's possessions.
During the same period, Samsam al-Dawla also managed to seize Basra and Khuzistan, forcing his two brothers to flee to Fakhr al-Dawla's territory.
In 1029, Majd al-Dawla, who was facing an uprising by his Dailami troops in Ray, requested assistance from Mahmud of Ghazna.
When Sultan Mahmud arrived, he deposed Majd al-Dawla, replaced him with a Ghaznavid governor and ended the Buyid dynasty in Ray.
This confederation formed three principalities - one in Fars, with Shiraz as its capital - the second one in Jibal, with Ray as its capital - and the last one in Iraq, with Baghdad as its capital.
During the beginning of the Buyid dynasty, their army consisted mainly of their fellow Daylamites, a warlike and brave people of mostly peasant origin, who served as foot soldiers.
The Daylamites had a long history of military activity dating back to the Sasanian period, and had been mercenaries in various places in Iran and Iraq, and even as far as Egypt.
But when the Buyid territories increased, they began recruiting Turks into their cavalry, who had played a prominent role in the Abbasid military.
As the reason of this turning from Zaydism to Twelverism, Moojen Momen suggests that since the Buyids were not descendants of Ali, the first Shi'i Imam, Zaydism would have urged them to install an Imam from Ali's family.
The Buyids rarely attempted to enforce a particular religious view upon their subjects except when in matters where it would be politically expedient.
In addition, in order to prevent tensions between the Shia and the Sunnis from spreading to government agencies, the Buyid amirs occasionally appointed Christians to high offices instead of Muslims from either sect.
Sometimes a ruler would come to rule more than one region, but no Buyid rulers ever exercised direct control of all three regions.
It was not uncommon for younger sons to found collateral lines, or for individual Buyid members to take control of a province and begin ruling there.
Green Acres is an American sitcom starring Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor as a couple who move from New York City to a country farm.
The nearby feed store is operated by the absent-minded Mr. Kimball, and the Granbys hire an older hand named Eb (voiced by Parley Baer, who would guest-star in several episodes of the television series) who often comments on incompetent management.
The debut episode is a mockumentary about their decision to move to a rural area, anchored by former ABC newscaster John Charles Daly.
The writers soon developed a suite of running jokes and visual gags, and characters often broke the fourth wall to address the audience.
Much of the humor derives from Oliver's striving toward success and happiness in an absurd situation, despite the rural citizenry, his high-maintenance wife Lisa, and his affluent mother (Eleanor Audley), who regularly ridicules him for his agricultural pipe-dreams.
Lisa and Oliver are both veterans of World War II, respectively a member of the Hungarian underground and a United States Army Air Forces flier.
While Oliver instigated the move from Manhattan to Hooterville over Lisa's objections, he is typically uncomprehending of and impatient with the locals.
Lisa, a natural airhead, more naturally fits into the illogic of their neighbors while quickly assimilating to their quirky, offbeat surroundings.
Mr. Haney (Pat Buttram) is the oily, dishonest local salesman who originally sold Oliver the Green Acres Farm (previously the Old Haney Place).
In the early episodes Haney repeatedly profits from Oliver by removing all the farm's basic fittings and equipment (the kitchen sink, bath, stove, cow, tractor, plow, etc.
In succeeding episodes Haney invariably arrives on cue every time Oliver needs an item or service, typically accompanied by a custom-made sign for each occasion.
He is an avid TV watcher and a Western fan, attends the local grade school (carrying his book pack in his mouth), and signs his own name on paper.
In the episode that introduces them, Alf confesses that Ralph is actually his sister, and explains they would not get jobs if people knew that she is a woman.
The Monroes rarely finish projects, and those that they do complete are disasters, such as the Douglases' bedroom closet's sliding door that is always falling down, their unsuccessful attempts to secure the doorknob to the front door, etc.
In one episode, after accidentally sawing Sam Drucker's telephone line at the general store, they splice it back together, although backwards, causing Drucker to listen at the mouthpiece and talk into the receiver.
Drucker also serves as a newspaper editor and printer, volunteer fireman with the Hooterville Volunteer Fire Department, notary, constable, justice of the peace, and postmaster.
A gentle parody of regional government bureaucrats and civil service employees, Alvy Moore plays spacey county agricultural agent Hank Kimball, who draws folks into inane conversations, loses his train of thought, then exits the scene.
The series was reportedly one of the first pre-recorded sitcoms to use cue cards extensively during filming, and Moore later recounted that he found them invaluable when performing Kimball's convoluted rambling, rapid-fire dialogue.
Despite the respectable ratings and winning its timeslot, the network cancelled the show in the spring of 1971 after 170 episodes.
The Hootervillians implore the couple to return and save the town from a scheme to destroy it, cooked up between Mr. Haney and a wealthy, underhanded developer (Henry Gibson).
Until his death in March 2015, Bare was working on a film version of the TV series, and he was teaming up with Phillip Goldfine and his Hollywood Media Bridge to produce it.
In astronomy and astrophysics, a mass concentration (or mascon) is a region of a planet or moon's crust that contains a large positive gravitational anomaly.
However, this term is most often used to describe a geologic structure that has a positive gravitational anomaly associated with a feature (e.g.
Its largest mascons can cause a plumb bob to hang about a third of a degree off vertical, pointing toward the mascon, and increase the force of gravity by one-half percent.
Typical examples of mascon basins on the Moon are the Imbrium, Serenitatis, Crisium and Orientale impact basins, all of which exhibit significant topographic depressions and positive gravitational anomalies.
Thus, the positive gravitational anomalies associated with these impact basins indicate that some form of positive density anomaly must exist within the crust or upper mantle that is currently supported by the lithosphere.
One possibility is that these anomalies are due to dense mare basaltic lavas, which might reach up to 6 kilometers in thickness for the Moon.
While these lavas certainly contribute to the observed gravitational anomalies, uplift of the crust-mantle interface is also required to account for their magnitude.
Lunar subsatellites were released on two of the last three Apollo manned lunar landing missions in 1971 and 1972; the subsatellite PFS-2 released from Apollo 16 was expected to stay in orbit for one and a half years, but lasted only 35 days before crashing into the lunar surface.
Since their identification in 1968, the origin of the mascons beneath the surface of the Moon has been subject to much debate, but is now regarded as being the result of the impact of asteroids during the Late Heavy Bombardment.
Lunar mascons alter the local gravity above and around them sufficiently that low and uncorrected satellite orbits around the Moon are unstable on a timescale of months or years.
The Luna-10 orbiter was the first artificial object to orbit the Moon and it returned tracking data indicating that the lunar gravitational field caused larger than expected perturbations presumably due to 'roughness' of the lunar gravitational field.
The Lunar mascons were discovered by Paul M. Muller and William L. Sjogren of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in 1968 from a new analytic method applied to the highly precise navigation data from the unmanned pre-Apollo Lunar Orbiter spacecraft.
This fact places key limits on models attempting to follow the history of the Moon's geological development and explain the current lunar internal structures.
This meant that the predicted landing areas were 100 times as large as those being carefully defined for reasons of safety.
In May 2013 a NASA study was published with results from the twin GRAIL probes, that mapped mass concentrations on Earth's Moon.
The system is used statewide on all of the toll roads, toll bridges, and high-occupancy toll lanes along the California Freeway and Expressway System.
As with other ETC systems, FasTrak is designed to eliminate the need for cars to stop to pay at toll booths, thus decreasing the traffic congestion traditionally associated with toll roads.
Concerned that they would each introduce different, incompatible ETC systems, the California State Legislature passed Senate Bill 1523 in 1990, requiring the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to develop a statewide specification that all these toll agencies were required to meet.
Three years later, Transportation Corridor Agencies opened the Foothill Toll Road in Orange County, implementing the statewide ETC system for the first time, and naming it FasTrak.
Under California law, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) was given the mandate to develop and maintain an open, statewide ETC specification.
FasTrak uses RFID technology near 915 MHz to read data from a transponder placed in a vehicle (usually mounted by Velcro strips to the windshield) moving at speeds that may exceed 70 mph (112 km/h).
The RFID transponder in each vehicle is associated with a prepaid debit account; each time the vehicle passes underneath a toll collection site, the account is debited to pay the toll.
Currently, FasTrak transponders are not compatible with E-ZPass and other ETC systems used in other states because they use a different specification than Title 21.
If a vehicle does not have a transponder, or if a transponder is not detected at the toll plaza, a violation enforcement system triggers cameras that capture photos of the vehicle and its license plate for processing.
If the license plate is registered as belonging to a FasTrak user, the account is debited only the toll charge, and no penalty is charged.
In the case of drivers whose vehicles are company owned or leased, as long as the vehicle license plates are properly listed, the violations will be sent to the registered owner and not the employee driver.
It is for this reason that the License Agreement mandates that customers list all vehicles, including motorcycles, motor homes, and trailers of all types on their accounts so that when transponders fail to read the toll can be debited based upon the vehicle's license plate.
A toll collected based on a license plate is called an Image Toll and can be identified on the customer statement by noticing the license plate number listed instead of the transponder number.
If one fails to correctly list license plates on their account, the FasTrak customer will receive toll violation notices as if they were another driver.
If a FasTrak customer receives a toll violation notice under these circumstances, they only refer to the reverse side of the Toll Violation notice and complete the section at the bottom of the notice that will add the new vehicle to their account.
Conversely, a license plate should be removed from an account after a change in ownership, otherwise resulting in paying for another driver's tolls via the Image Toll process.
Although anybody with a FasTrak transponder can use it to pay tolls on any California toll facility using the system, people are encouraged to open their accounts with the local agency in charge of the one that they use the most.
Each center establishes its own fee and discount structures, and people may be charged a fee if the majority of their FasTrak use occurs elsewhere.
As the first ETC system in North America was installed on the Dallas North Tollway in 1989, many California toll facilities started to express interest in the technology.
Because the state's toll roads and bridges are run by different government agencies, there was the possibility that a number of different incompatible ETC systems would be instituted throughout California.
As a result, California was the first in the nation to require all of its toll bridges and roads to use the same ETC system.
When the Foothill Toll Road in Orange County opened in 1993, it became the first California toll facility to use an ETC system.
When TCA first introduced the FasTrak system, the electronic transponders consisted of a gadget about the size of a Walkman in which a smart card was inserted.
However, the smart cards were unpopular with both tollway officials and users because they cost more, offered little advantage, and customers were charged with a $10 annual fee (which has since been discontinued).
By the time the 91 Express Lanes opened in 1995, the FasTrak transponders were redesigned to be the size of a coaster that could be mounted by Velcro strips to the windshield.
TCA later deployed the FasTrak system to the two other toll roads they administer as soon as they opened: the San Joaquin Hills Toll Road in 1996 and the Eastern Toll Road in 1998.
After a test run on the Carquinez Bridge in 1996, it had accuracy problems in dealing with the 18 different toll classifications for different kinds of trucks.
After the changes were made and another test run, the Carquinez Bridge became the first California toll bridge to use FasTrak in 1997.
However, bureaucratic inaction, technical difficulties, and financial mismanagement delayed the deployment of the system to the other six state-run toll bridges in the San Francisco Bay Area until October 2000.
Meanwhile, the Golden Gate Bridge, run by the independent Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, installed their system a few months earlier in July of that year.
The FasTrak system was also briefly used on the state-owned San Diego-Coronado Bridge until tolls were discontinued on that structure in 2002.
The Bay Area FasTrak Customer Center then opened in 2005, merging the service center for the state's Bay Area bridges with the one that was being operated separately by the Golden Gate Bridge District.
Since then, several other new toll facilities around California have either opened, are under construction, or are in the planning stages.
Currently only FasTrak accounts opened from either the Bay Area FasTrak Customer Center or from Transportation Corridor Agencies can be used at the airport.
When the Metro ExpressLanes opened in Los Angeles in late 2012, it introduced FasTrak transponders with a special switch that indicates the number of occupants (1, 2, or 3 or more) in the vehicle.
This enables the open road tolling system to automatically compute the carpool or solo driver toll, as well as allow the California Highway Patrol to visually check to see if there are more or fewer people in the car than indicated on the transponder.
For the convenience of their FasTrak customers in the Greater Los Angeles urban area who may also use the Metro ExpressLanes, TCA began offering switchable transponders in 2013, and the 91 Express Lanes followed suit by 2015.
With the switchable transponders, the violation rate on the Metro ExpressLanes fell to 10 percent from the 20 to 25 percent cheating rate in toll lanes that do not require transponders for carpoolers, prompting Alameda County officials to include the system on the then-planned I-580 Express Lanes.
The Golden Gate Bridge began requiring electronic payments for all tolls in March 2013, and all the Orange County toll roads run by TCA likewise did the same in May 2014.
For those who do not carry a FasTrak transponder, both the Golden Gate Bridge District and TCA offer toll-by-plate accounts, and accept one-time payments via online or by phone.
Under MAP-21, passed by the Federal government in 2012, all ETC facilities in the United States must reach some form of interoperability by October 1, 2016.
In response, the California State Legislature passed Assembly Bill 493 in 2013, authorizing Caltrans and the state's various toll agencies to help develop compatible systems.
California regulators later approved a phase-in of transponder technology using the ISO/IEC 18000-63 (6C) standard, released in 2004, which began in 2018 and is expected to end in 2024.
This would allow compatibility with systems used in nearby states of Washington, Colorado, and Utah; and also Kentucky, Indiana, Georgia, North Carolina, and Louisiana, plus NationalPass.
The sticker transponder is similar to the eGo Plus toll sticker introduced by TxTag in 2005, SunPass Mini toll sticker introduced by SunPass in 2008, and the sticker tag introduced by MnPASS in 2015.
In mathematics, magnitude is the size of a mathematical object, a property which determines whether the object is larger or smaller than other objects of the same kind.
More formally, an object's magnitude is the displayed result of an ordering (or ranking) of the class of objects to which it belongs.
Geometrically, it can be described as an arrow from the origin of the space (vector tail) to that point (vector tip).
The Euclidean norm of a vector is just a special case of Euclidean distance: the distance between its tail and its tip.
A disadvantage of the second notation is that it is also used to denote the absolute value of scalars and the determinants of matrices and therefore can be ambiguous.
Examples include the loudness of a sound (measured in decibels), the brightness of a star, and the Richter scale of earthquake intensity.
Orders of magnitude denote differences in numeric quantities, usually measurements, by a factor of 10—that is, a difference of one digit in the location of the decimal point.
This was the last Cradle of Filth full-length album to feature guitarist and songwriter Stuart Anstis, keyboardist Lecter and drummer Nicholas Barker.
After walking out of the room after Dani played it to her, she claimed to have bumped into drummer Nicholas Barker, who also expressed his dissatisfaction.
The lizard buzzard is a smallish stocky raptor with a total body length of 35–37 cm and a wingspan of about 79 cm.
The juvenile lizard buzzard resembles the adult, the only variations are slight brown tinge to the wings with an orange yellow cere and legs.
There is very limited soaring flight, which only occurs during courtship displays or on rare non-breeding occasions in the late morning.
Lizzard buzzards hunt from perches, 6–10 m in height, and catch prey by swooping or gliding onto prey in the grass.
They have shorter pointed wings (ratio of wing length to body height 0.76) resulting in a more rapid flight in forests which suggests an adaptation to prey capture in dense vegetation.
Both sexes are involved in nest building which is small and compact, composed of sticks and found in the sub canopy of trees both indigenous and alien, often near the main trunk of the tree.
Although they prefer to build nests in the subcanopy, when they occupy an existing nest this can occur in the canopy above.
The reasons for raptor decline in Africa are rapid human population growth driving overexploitation of the land causing biodiversity loss and a decreased species richness.
The raptor population declines in West Africa have been linked to loss of woodland and nest sites, increased pesticide use, intensive cultivation especially cotton and disturbance of nests.
In Southern Africa raptor decline has been linked to use of poisons, powerline electrocutions, habitat destruction and raptor drowning in farm reservoirs.
Similarly in the Western Cape of South Africa, the steppe buzzard, lesser kestrel and yellow-billed kite have increased range and number.
Its preferred prey insects, lizards and rodents remain common in most human altered landscapes which could account for its current survival.
Tunnels of less than a metre or so in diameter are typically done using trenchless construction methods or horizontal directional drilling rather than TBMs.
However, this was only the invention of the shield concept and did not involve the construction of a complete tunnel boring machine, the digging still having to be accomplished by the then standard excavation methods.
Commissioned by the King of Sardinia in 1845 to dig the Fréjus Rail Tunnel between France and Italy through the Alps, Maus had it built in 1846 in an arms factory near Turin.
It consisted of more than 100 percussion drills mounted in the front of a locomotive-sized machine, mechanically power-driven from the entrance of the tunnel.
The Revolutions of 1848 affected the funding, and the tunnel was not completed until 10 years later, by using less innovative and less expensive methods such as pneumatic drills.
In the United States, the first boring machine to have been built was used in 1853 during the construction of the Hoosac Tunnel in northwest Massachusetts.
Wilson's machine anticipated modern TBMs in the sense that it employed cutting discs, like those of a disc harrow, which were attached to the rotating head of the machine.
In contrast to traditional chiseling or drilling and blasting, this innovative method of removing rock relied on simple metal wheels to apply a transient high pressure that fractured the rock.
Also in 1853, the American Ebenezer Talbot also patented a TBM that employed Wilson's cutting discs, although they were mounted on rotating arms, which in turn were mounted on a rotating plate.
In the 1870s, John D. Brunton of England built a machine employing cutting discs that were mounted eccentrically on rotating plates, which in turn were mounted eccentrically on a rotating plate, so that the cutting discs would travel over almost all of the rock face that was to be removed.
The first TBM that tunneled a substantial distance was invented in 1863 and improved in 1875 by British Army officer Major Frederick Edward Blackett Beaumont (1833–1895); Beaumont's machine was further improved in 1880 by British Army officer Major Thomas English (1843–1935).
In 1875, the French National Assembly approved the construction of a tunnel under the English Channel and the British Parliament allowed a trial run to be made; Major English's TBM was chosen for the project.
The cutting head of English's TBM consisted of a conical drill bit behind which were a pair of opposing arms on which were mounted cutting discs.
A French engineer, Alexandre Lavalley, who was also a Suez Canal contractor, used a similar machine to drill 1,669 m (5,476 ft) from Sangatte on the French side.
However, despite this success, the cross-Channel tunnel project was abandoned in 1883 after the British military raised fears that the tunnel might be used as an invasion route.
Nevertheless, in 1883, this TBM was used to bore a railway ventilation tunnel — 7 feet (2.1 m) in diameter and 6,750 feet (2 km) long — between Birkenhead and Liverpool, England, through sandstone under the Mersey River.
During the late 19th and early 20th century, inventors continued to design, build, and test TBMs in response to the need for tunnels for railroads, subways, sewers, water supplies, etc.
An earth pressure balance TBM known as Bertha with a bore diameter of was produced by Hitachi Zosen Corporation in 2013.
The machine began operating in July 2013, but stalled in December 2013 and required substantial repairs that halted the machine until January 2016.
The same company built world's largest-diameter slurry TBM, excavation diameter of , owned and operated by the French construction company Dragages Hong Kong (Bouygues' subsidiary) for the Tuen Mun Chek Lap Kok link in Hong Kong.
Modern TBMs typically consist of the rotating cutting wheel, called a cutter head, followed by a main bearing, a thrust system and trailing support mechanisms.
The type of machine used depends on the particular geology of the project, the amount of ground water present and other factors.
The excavated rock (muck) is transferred through openings in the cutter head to a belt conveyor, where it runs through the machine to a system of conveyors or muck cars for removal from the tunnel.
Not all machines can be continuously steered while gripper shoes push on the walls, as with a Wirth machine, which steers only while ungripped.
At the end of a stroke, the rear legs of the machine are lowered, the grippers and propel cylinders are retracted.
Instead, the rock is held up using ground support methods such as ring beams, rock bolts, shotcrete, steel straps, ring steel and wire mesh.
In fractured rock, shielded hard rock TBMs can be used, which erect concrete segments to support unstable tunnel walls behind the machine.
Single Shield TBMs operate in the same way, but are used only in fractured ground, as they can only push against the concrete segments.
In soft ground, there are three main types of TBMs: Earth Pressure Balance Machines (EPB), Slurry Shield (SS) and open-face type.
Both types of closed machines operate like Single Shield TBMs, using thrust cylinders to advance forward by pushing off against concrete segments.
The cutter head does not use disc cutters only, but instead a combination of tungsten carbide cutting bits, carbide disc cutters, drag picks and/or hard rock disc cutters.
Pressure is maintained in the cutterhead by controlling the rate of extraction of spoil through the Archimedes screw and the advance rate.
Additives such as bentonite, polymers and foam can be injected ahead of the face to increase the stability of the ground.
Additives can also be injected in the cutterhead/extraction screw to ensure that the spoil remains sufficiently cohesive to form a plug in the Archimedes screw to maintain pressure in the cutterhead and restrict water flowing through.
In soft ground with very high water pressure or where ground conditions are granular (sands and gravels) so much so that a plug could not be formed in the Archimedes screw, Slurry Shield TBMs are needed.
The slurry also acts as a transport medium by mixing with the excavated material before being pumped out of the cutterhead back to a slurry separation plant, usually outside of the tunnel.
Slurry separation plants are multi-stage filtration systems, which remove particles of spoil from the slurry so that it may be reused in the construction process.
For this reason, slurry TBMs are not suitable for silts and clays as the particle sizes of the spoil are less than that of the bentonite clay from which the slurry is made.
In this case, the slurry is separated into water, which can be recycled and a clay cake, which may be polluted, is pressed from the water.
Open face TBMs in soft ground rely on the fact that the face of the ground being excavated will stand up with no support for a short period of time.
This makes them suitable for use in rock types with a strength of up to 10MPa or so, and with low water inflows.
The shield is jacked forwards and cutters on the front of the shield cut the remaining ground to the same circular shape.
Ground support is provided by use of precast concrete, or occasionally SGI (Spheroidal Graphite Iron), segments that are bolted or supported until a full ring of support has been erected.
A final segment, called the key, is wedge-shaped, and expands the ring until it is tight against the circular cut of the ground left behind by cutters on the TBM shield.
While the use of TBMs relieves the need for large numbers of workers at high pressures, a caisson system is sometimes formed at the cutting head for slurry shield TBMs.
Herrenknecht AG designed a soft ground TBM for the Orlovski Tunnel, a project in Saint Petersburg, but it was never built.
Micro tunnel shield method is a digging technique used to construct small tunnels, and diminish in size of general tunnelling shield.
Behind all types of tunnel boring machines, inside the finished part of the tunnel, are trailing support decks known as the back-up system.
Support mechanisms located on the back-up can include: conveyors or other systems for muck removal, slurry pipelines if applicable, control rooms, electrical systems, dust removal, ventilation and mechanisms for transport of pre-cast segments.
The normal method of doing this in soft ground is to maintain the soil pressures during and after the tunnel construction.
There is some difficulty in doing this, particularly in varied strata (e.g., boring through a region where the upper portion of the tunnel face is wet sand and the lower portion is hard rock).
Both types (EPB and SS) are capable of reducing the risk of surface subsidence and voids if operated properly and if the ground conditions are well documented.
When tunnelling in urban environments, other tunnels, existing utility lines and deep foundations need to be addressed in the early planning stages.
It is among the top graduate journalism schools in the United States, and is designed to produce journalists with a two-year Master of Journalism (MJ) degree.
As of January 1, 2013, it is being served by dean Edward Wasserman, a former Knight professor of journalism ethics at Washington and Lee University.
The school enrolls approximately 100 students; 50 first-year and 50-second-year students, and is among the smaller graduate schools on the campus of UC Berkeley.
Recent speakers have included Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Robert McNamara, Hans Blix, George Soros, Cokie Roberts, Paul Krugman, Dan Rather, Bob Woodruff, Ira Glass and Robert Krulwich.
The UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism focuses on six media platforms of journalism: Audio journalism, documentary film, narrative writing, multimedia, photojournalism, and video journalism.
The school's focus is on professional practice rather than research, and requires students to perform an internship at a media outlet as a degree requirement between their first and second year of study.
Students are also required to take an introductory news reporting course called J200, where they publish in one of two hyperlocal news websites that are run by the school: Oakland North and Richmond Confidential.
In 2015, the estate of photographer Jim Marshall created the Jim Marshall Fellowships in Photography at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism's Center for Photography.
Before Schell, Thomas Goldstein served as dean from 1988 until he left to become the dean of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism.
He stepped down from that position after five years, despite being credited for increasing endowments for that school from $54 million to $84 million over his short stint there.
Pulitzer Prize-winning American media critic Ben Bagdikian also served as a past dean of the UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism.
In 1981, actress Carol Burnett won a $1.6 million (later reduced to $800,000) libel award from The National Enquirer over an article that she said implied she had been intoxicated in a Washington restaurant.
She donated a portion of that to the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism saying she hoped the suit would teach aspiring journalists the dangers of defaming individuals in articles.
The UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism is housed in North Gate Hall, a designated National Historic Landmark in the National Register of Historic Places.
It is located immediately southeast of the intersection of Euclid and Hearst avenues in Berkeley, Calif., on the campus of UC Berkeley.
It serves as the northern most entrance of the primary University compound, and is opposite to Sather Gate, the southern most entrance of the University.
The building cost $4,394.59 to construct and consisted of an atelier, office for John Galen Howard and an architectural library with volumes donated by Phoebe Apperson Hearst – mother to William Randolph Hearst.
The new addition was built further up the hill (easterly) and houses what is known today as the Greenhouse and upper and lower newsrooms.
In 1936, Walter Steilberg designed a library wing composed of reinforced concrete-panel, a stark contrast to the dark shingled appearance of the original building.
In 1957, the architecture school was united with the departments of Landscape Architecture, City and regional Planning, and Decorative Arts to form the College of Environmental Design.
In 1993 the building underwent extensive seismic renovations causing uproar from Berkeley preservationists who had saved the building from destruction 17 years earlier.
The Gregorian reformation was adopted by the Kingdom of Great Britain, including its possessions in North America (later to become eastern USA), in September 1752.
Language revitalization, also referred to as language revival or reversing language shift, is an attempt to halt or reverse the decline of a language or to revive an extinct one.
It has been pointed out that there has only been one successful instance of a complete language revival, that of the Hebrew language, creating a new generation of native speakers without any pre-existing native speakers as a model.
Though the goals of language revitalization vary greatly from case to case, they typically involve attempting to expand the number of speakers and use of a language, or trying to maintain the current level of use to protect the language from extinction or language death.
The UN estimates that more than half of the languages spoken today have fewer than 10,000 speakers and that a quarter have fewer than 1,000 speakers and that, unless there are some efforts to maintain them, over the next hundred years most of these will become extinct.
A community often sees language as a unique part of their culture, connecting them with their ancestors or with the land, making up an essential part of their history and self-image.
Efforts should be concentrated on the earlier stages of restoration until they have been consolidated before proceeding to the later stages.
This model of language revival is intended to direct efforts to where they are most effective and to avoid wasting energy trying to achieve the later stages of recovery when the earlier stages have not been achieved.
For instance, it is probably wasteful to campaign for the use of a language on television or in government services if hardly any families are in the habit of using the language.
Additionally, Tasaku Tsunoda describes a range of different techniques or methods that speakers can use to try to revitalize a language, including techniques to revive extinct languages and maintain weak ones.
Several other methods of revitalization, including those that rely on technology such as recordings or media, can be used for languages in any state of viability.
There are disagreements in the field of language revitalization as to the degree that revival should concentrate on maintaining the traditional language, versus allowing simplification or widespread borrowing from the majority language.
Nancy Dorian has pointed out that conservative attitudes toward loanwords and grammatical changes often hamper efforts to revitalize endangered languages (as with Tiwi in Australia), and that a division can exist between educated revitalizers, interested in historicity, and remaining speakers interested in locally authentic idiom (as has sometimes occurred with Irish).
Some have argued that structural compromise may, in fact, enhance the prospects of survival, as may have been the case with English in the post-Norman period.
Other linguists have argued that when language revitalization borrows heavily from the majority language, the result is a new language, perhaps a creole or pidgin.
Neil McRae has stated that the uses of Scottish Gaelic are becoming increasingly tokenistic, and native Gaelic idiom is being lost in favor of artificial terms created by second-language speakers.
Total revival of a dead language (in the sense of having no native speakers) into a self-sustaining community of several million first language speakers has happened only once, in the case of Hebrew, now the national language of Israel.
Hebrew, once largely a liturgical language, was reestablished as a means of everyday communication by Jews migrating to what is now the State of Israel and the Palestinian territories, starting in the nineteenth century.
In a related development, literary languages without native speakers enjoyed great prestige and practical utility as lingua francas, often counting millions of fluent speakers at a time.
In many such cases, a decline in the use of the literary language, sometimes precipitous, was later accompanied by a strong renewal.
This happened, for example, in the revival of Classical Latin in the Renaissance, and the revival of Sanskrit in the early centuries A.D. An analogous phenomenon in contemporary Arabic-speaking areas is the expanded use of the literary language (Modern Standard Arabic, a form of the Classical Arabic of the 6th century A.D.).
An example is standard Italian, which originated as a literary language derived from the language of 13th-century Florence, especially as used by such important Florentine writers as Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio.
This language existed for several centuries primarily as a literary vehicle, with few native speakers; even as late as 1861, on the eve of Italian unification, the language only counted about 500,000 speakers (many non-native), out of a total population of .
The subsequent success of the language has been through conscious development, where speakers of any of the numerous Italian languages were taught standard Italian as a second language and subsequently imparted it to their children, who learned it as a first language.
The Ainu language of the indigenous Ainu people of northern Japan is currently moribund, but efforts are underway to revive it.
As of 2001, Ainu was not taught in any elementary or secondary schools in Japan, but was offered at numerous language centres and universities in Hokkaido, as well as at Tokyo's Chiba University.
In China, the Manchu language is one of the most endangered languages, with speakers only in three small areas of Manchuria remaining.
Some enthusiasts are trying to revive the language of their ancestors using available dictionaries and textbooks, and even occasional visits to Qapqal Xibe Autonomous County in Xinjiang, where the related Xibe language is still spoken natively.
As a result of its loss as an official language and years of marginalization at the official level during and after American colonization, the use of Spanish amongst the overall populace decreased dramatically and became moribund, with the remaining native speakers left being mostly elderly people.
However, it is currently seeing a slow revival due to past government promotion under the administration of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
As of 2010, the Instituto Cervantes in Manila reported the number of Filipino Hispanophones with native or non-native knowledge at approximately 3 million (including those who speak the Spanish-based creole Chavacano).
In addition to government efforts, Spanish has also seen a small revival of interest in media, thanks to the importing of telenovelas and music from Latin America.
The European colonization of Australia, and the consequent damage sustained by Aboriginal communities, had a catastrophic effect on indigenous languages especially in the southeast and south of the country, leaving some with no living traditional native speakers.
The work is typically directed by a group of elders and other knowledgeable people, with community language workers doing most of the research and teaching.
Some communities employ linguists, and there are also linguists who have worked independently, such as Luise Hercus and Peter K. Austin.
Pertame, from the country south of Alice Springs, along the Finke River, is a dialect in the Arrernte group of languages.
With only 20 fluent speakers left by 2018, the Pertame Project is seeking to retain and revive the language, headed by Pertame elder Christobel Swan.
The Diyari language of the far north of South Australia has an active programme under way, with materials available for teaching in schools and the wider community.
It is the ancestral tongue of the indigenous Māori people of New Zealand and a vehicle for prose narrative, sung poetry, and genealogical recital.
The Education Ordinance Act of 1847 mandated school instruction in English and established boarding schools to speed up assimilation of Māori youths into European culture.
The colonial masters also promoted the use of English in Māori homes, convincing many parents that their children would not get jobs unless they spoke English.
During the 1970s, a group of young Māori people, the Ngā Tamatoa, successfully campaigned for Māori to be taught in schools.
In Europe, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the use of both local and learned languages declined as the central governments of the different states imposed their vernacular language as the standard throughout education and official use (this was the case in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy and Greece, and to some extent, in Germany and Austria-Hungary).
Campaigns have raised the profiles of local languages to such an extent that in some European regions, the local languages have acquired the status of official languages, along with the national language.
The Council of Europe's action in this area (see European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages) is in contrast to the European Union's granting of official status to a restricted number of official languages (see Languages of the European Union).
Presently, official attempts to revitalise languages under threat – such as the promotion of Welsh, Galician, Basque and Catalan in their respective native regions – have seen varying degrees of success.
The challenges faced by the language over the last few centuries have included exclusion from important domains, social denigration, the death or emigration of many Irish speakers during the Irish famine of the 1840s, and continued emigration since.
Efforts to revitalise Irish were being made, however, from the mid-1800s, and were associated with a desire for Irish political independence.
But the failure to teach it in an effective and engaging way means (as linguist Andrew Carnie notes) that students do not acquire the fluency needed for the lasting viability of the language, and this leads to boredom and resentment.
They are an important element in the creation of a network of urban Irish speakers (known as Gaeilgeoirí), who tend to be young, well-educated and middle-class.
There are also current attempts to revive the related language of Scottish Gaelic, which was suppressed following the formation of the United Kingdom, and entered further decline due to the Highland clearances.
The decline in fluent Gaelic speakers has slowed; however, the population center has shifted to L2 speakers in urban areas, especially Glasgow.
Another Celtic language, Manx, lost its last native speaker in 1974 and was declared extinct by UNESCO in 2009, but never completely fell from use.
The language is now taught in primary and secondary schools, including as a teaching medium at the Bunscoill Ghaelgagh, used in some public events and spoken as a second language by approximately 1800 people.
The Manx government has also been involved in the effort by creating organizations such as the Manx Heritage Foundation (Culture Vannin) and the position of Manx Language Officer.
There have been a number of attempts to revive the Cornish language, both privately and some under the Cornish Language Partnership.
Some of the activities have included translation of the Christian scriptures, a guild of bards, and the promotion of Cornish literature in modern Cornish, including novels and poetry.
As time passed, Romani ceased to be a full language and became Caló, a cant mixing Iberian Romance grammar and Romani vocabulary.
In addition, there are apps (including phrases, word lists and dictionaries) in many Native languages ranging from Cree, Cherokee and Chickasaw, to Lakota, Ojibway and Oneida, Massachusett, Navajo and Gwych'in.
Wampanoag, a language spoken by the people of the same name in Massachusetts, underwent a language revival project led by Jessie Little Doe Baird, a trained linguist.
Members of the tribe use the extensive written records that exist in their language, including a translation of the Bible and legal documents, in order to learn and teach Wampanoag.
From 2013 to 2014, the language activist, author, and teacher, Sʔímlaʔxw Michele K. Johnson from the Syilx Nation, attempted to teach two hopeful learners of Tlingit in the Yukon.
The aim was to assist in the creation of adult speakers that are of parent-age, so that they too can begin teaching the language.
Kichwa is the variety of the Quechua language spoken in Ecuador and is one of the most widely spoken indigenous languages in South America.
However, once this contact was made, language for the Lagunas people shifted through generations, to Kichwa and Spanish bilingualism and now is essentially Spanish monolingualism.
The feelings of the Lagunas people present a dichotomy with language use, as most of the Lagunas members speak Spanish exclusively and only know a few words in Kichwa.
The prospects for Kichwa language revitalization are not promising, as parents depend on schooling for this purpose, which is not nearly as effective as continual language exposure in the home.
Schooling in the Lagunas community, although having a conscious focus on teaching Kichwa, consists of mainly passive interaction, reading, and writing in Kichwa.
In addition to grassroots efforts, national language revitalization organizations, like CONAIE, focus attention on non-Spanish speaking indigenous children, who represent a large minority in the country.
Another national initiative, Bilingual Intercultural Education Project (PEBI), was ineffective in language revitalization because instruction was given in Kichwa and Spanish was taught as a second language to children who were almost exclusively Spanish monolinguals.
Specific suggestions include imparting an elevated perception of the language in schools, focusing on grassroots efforts both in school and the home, and maintaining national and regional attention.
In Mexico, the Mixtec people's language heavily revolves around the interaction between climate, nature, and what it means for their livelihood.
UNESCO's LINKS (Local and Indigenous Knowledge) program recently underwent a project to create a glossary of Mixtec terms and phrases related to climate.
UNESCO believes that the traditional knowledge of the Mixtec people via their deep connection with weather phenomena can provide insight on ways to address climate change.
Program leaders travel across Canada with mobile audiovisual production units, and aims to provide indigenous youth with a way to connect with their culture through a film topic of their choosing.
The Wapikona project submits its films to events around the world as an attempt to spread knowledge of indigenous culture and language.
The rest of the community has adopted Spanish in order to communicate with the outside world and support its tourism industry.
Through a collaboration between UNESCO and the Chilean Corporación Nacional de Desarrollo Indigena, the Department of Rapa Nui Language and Culture at the Lorenzo Baeza Vega School was created.
In 2017, the Nid Rapa Nui, a non-governmental organization was also created with the goal of establishing a school that teaches courses entirely in Rapa Nui.
John McWhorter has argued that programs to revive indigenous languages will almost never be very effective because of the practical difficulties involved.
Indigenous expression is still possible even when the original language has disappeared, as with Native American groups and as evidenced by the vitality of black American culture in the United States, among people who speak not Yoruba but English.
Oftentimes, there is prejudice and deliberate persecution of minority languages, in order to appropriate the cultural and economic capital of minority groups.
At other times governments deem that the cost of revitalization programs and creating linguistically diverse materials is too great to take on.
William Perry Clements Jr. (April 13, 1917 – May 29, 2011) was an American businessman and Republican Party politician who served two non-consecutive terms as Governor of Texas between 1979 and 1991.
His terms bookended the sole term served by Mark Wells White, a Democrat who defeated Clements in the 1982 election only to lose his campaign for re-election in 1986.
When Clements was first sworn in in 1979, he became the first Republican to have served as governor of Texas since Reconstruction.
When Clements left office for good at the end of his second term in 1991, his eight total years in office were the most served by any Texas governor until Rick Perry surpassed his total in 2009.
Clements was the first governor to be elected to multiple terms since Texas changed its constitution in 1972 to extend their governor's term of office to four years; since then, Perry and his predecessor, George W. Bush and successor, Greg Abbott, also Republicans, have also won multiple terms.
Before he became Governor of Texas, Clements made his fortune in crude oil and served as United States Deputy Secretary of Defense for President Richard Nixon.
After his first gubernatorial term ended, Clements joined the administrative staff at Southern Methodist University where he served as Chairman of the Board of Governors; while there, he presided over a massive pay-to-play system in the school's football program that resulted in catastrophic consequences for the team and the end of his political career.
He founded SEDCO in 1947, the world's largest offshore drilling company and technical leader of the offshore drilling industry, developing dynamically positioned drilling rigs, top drives, and many other offshore drilling innovations.
In 1984, SEDCO was sold to Schlumberger, and its assets combined with their drilling contractor subsidiary, Forex, under Schlumberger management, to form Sedco–Forex.
He entered politics as the United States Deputy Secretary of Defense under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, and, in 1973, served as acting Secretary of Defense for 39 days, which is the shortest term for any Secretary of Defense.
To win the position, he first defeated State Representative Ray Hutchison in the Republican primary by a lopsided vote of 115,345 to 38,268.
O'Donnell became a key adviser to Clements, who won the general election held on November 8, 1978, by having narrowly defeated Democratic former Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice John Luke Hill, who had also served six years as state attorney general.
The more liberal Hill, who had also once been the appointed Secretary of State of Texas, had defeated Briscoe in the primary.
In winning, Clements achieved victory with 350,158 fewer votes than the 1972 GOP nominee, Henry Grover, who went down to defeat because turnout was much lower in the 1978 off-year election than it had been during the presidential election year.
The 1972 Texas governor's race was the last to coincide with a presidential election because when the terms went to four years, the gubernatorial elections were also set to coincide with the off years between presidential elections.
In 1981, Clements jump-started the long judicial careers of three San Antonio Republican lawyers, David Peeples, Tom Rickhoff and David Berchelmann with their appointments to state district courts numbered 285, 289, and 290, respectively.
In 1989, Clements in his second term appointed Berchelmann as the first Republican to serve on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals; he was defeated in 1990 but staged a comeback in 1992 on the 37th Judicial District Court, on which he served until January 2013.
Clements ran for reelection in 1982, but was defeated by Democratic Attorney General Mark Wells White by more than 327,000 votes because of sagging economic indicators and weak support from minority voters, who historically support Democratic candidates.
Clements was also damaged politically by the Ixtoc I oil spill disaster; the rig that failed was owned by SEDCO, but leased to Permargo (a Mexican drilling firm), which had an exploration contract with Pemex, despite his shares in SEDCO being held in blind trust at the time; his opponent, White, as attorney general, led the state's lawsuit against SEDCO.
In addition, the Republican down-ballot candidates were all defeated in 1982, including George Strake Jr., a Houston businessman who had been Clements's former secretary of state.
After the 1982 campaign, Strake was named to replace Chet Upham of Mineral Wells as the Republican state chairman, a position that he filled from 1983 to 1988.
Ernest Angelo, a former mayor of Midland who was a Texas co-chair of Ronald Reagan's attempt in 1976 to wrest the Republican presidential nomination from Gerald R. Ford, said that Clements's defeat in 1982 was his own greatest disappointment in politics even though Angelo himself lost a bid for the District 25 seat in the Texas State Senate in that same election.
In between his two terms as governor, Clements was chairman of the board of governors of Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
He ran again in 1986 and won a contested GOP primary against U.S. Representative Thomas Loeffler of New Braunfels, the seat of Comal County, and former Democratic turned Republican Congressman Kent Hance of Lubbock.
His first term was marked by SEDCO's involvement in the largest oil blowout in history, the Ixtoc I oil spill, which caused extensive environmental damage.
Clements was also governor at the time of the execution of Carlos DeLuna, who was put to death in 1989; evidence questioning the findings of facts that underlay DeLuna's conviction was published in 2012.
During his second term, Clements worked to reduce crime, improve education, boost the Texas economy, and to foster better relations with Mexico, especially on issues important to the mutual borders, such as immigration and the War on Drugs.
However, he did not push as pledged for the initiative and referendum reforms advocated by State Senator Walter Mengden of Houston, based on the principle of California's Proposition 13.
On March 3, 1987, Clements admitted that he and the other members of the SMU board of governors had approved a secret plan to continue payments to 13 football players from a slush fund provided by a booster.
The shutdown and other sanctions left the once-proud Mustang football program in ruin; SMU has had only two winning seasons since returning to the field, and would not procure another bowl bid until 2009, and it would also be another ten years before they would be ranked in the top 25 in the Amway Coaches Poll by the USA Today.
A few months later, the College of Bishops of the United Methodist Church released a report detailing an investigation of its own into the scandal.
According to the report, in late 1985 then SMU President L. Donald Shields and board of trustees chairman Edwin L. Cox wanted to stop the payments completely, in opposition to Clements and Hitch.
Nothing was formally decided at the meeting, but afterwards, Clements and Hitch talked for about fifteen minutes in the Perkins Hall parking lot.
He said that he had learned about the slush fund in 1984, and an investigation by the board of governors revealed that players had been paid to play since the mid-1970s.
Clements faced calls for his impeachment as a result of these statements; two state legislators argued that he would have never been elected had he honestly addressed his role in the scandal.
Under the circumstances, he opted not to run for a third term as governor and was succeeded on January 15, 1991 by Democratic State Treasurer Ann Richards.
After leaving the governorship, Clements resided in Dallas with his second wife, the former Rita Crocker Bass (October 30, 1931 – January 6, 2018), who was first lady of Texas during both of his terms.
In 1993, he supported the conservative U.S. Representative Joe Barton in the special election for the U.S. Senate to succeed newly resigned Democrat Lloyd Bentsen.
Clements also supported the embattled Texas Supreme Court Justice Steven Wayne Smith, who was beaten through the opposition of Governor Rick Perry in the 2004 Republican primary.
Whereas Governor Perry first endorsed former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani of New York City for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, Bill Clements was as early as 2006 already raising funds for the eventual nominee, Senator John McCain of Arizona.
On April 13, 2012, Daniel K. Podolsky, M.D., President of UT Southwestern Medical Center announced the UT System Board of Regents approved the naming of the new UT Southwestern University Hospital in honor of Clements.
On February 16, 2010, Clements and his wife both endorsed Governor Rick Perry's re-election campaign in the 2010 Texas Republican gubernatorial primary against Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Clements, incidentally, won the Republican nomination that ultimately led to his first term as governor by defeating Hutchison's husband, Ray, in the 1978 GOP primary.
In October 2010, Clements's son, B. Gill Clements (born 1941), was murdered at the age of 69 near his ranch in Athens in Henderson County in east Texas.
According to the doctrine of original sin, all people have a sinful nature and thus commit sin, and are thereby spiritually dead.
The first type is a physical separation from God the Father, which was caused by the Fall of Adam and Eve.
This separation is necessary so that individuals can be tested to see whether they will continue to be obedient even when not in God's presence.
This separation is overcome unconditionally when all people return to God's physical presence for the Judgment, according to Gerald N. Lund.
The second type is a spiritual separation from God's spirit or influence, which is caused by individual sins; when we sin we alienate ourselves from the influence of the Holy Ghost, God's spiritual presence.
This separation begins its resolution through the covenant of baptism, after which a person receives the gift of the Holy Ghost.
This distinction between two kinds of spiritual death gives Mormonism a unique approach to the problem of evil, compared to the rest of Christianity.
’National Parliament’), often referred to simply as the Sangsad or JS and also known as the House of the Nation, is the supreme legislative body of Bangladesh.
The current parliament of Bangladesh contains 350 seats, including 50 seats reserved for women, which are apportioned on elected party position in the parliament.
The leader of the party (or alliance of parties) holding the majority of seats becomes the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, and the head of the government.
The Constitution of Bangladesh designates the official name of the legislature Jatiya Sangsad (জাতীয় সংসদ) in Bengali and House of the Nation in English.
The Constituent Assembly of Bangladesh was established on 10 April 1972 after the Bangladesh Liberation War to prepare a democratic constitution and served as its first parliament as an independent nation.
The assembly approved the constitution on 4 November 1972, and it took effect on 16 December and the Constituent Assembly became the Provisional Parliament of Bangladesh until the first elections under the new constitution took place in 1973.
Until 10 July 1981 the Constituent Assembly, and the first and second parliaments held their sittings in the building that now houses the Prime Minister's Office and which is often referred as the old Sangsad Bhaban (old Parliament House).
The maximum strength of the Parliament envisaged by the Constitution of Bangladesh is 350, which is made up by election of up to 300 members to represent 300 parliamentary constituencies and 50 seats reserved for women, which are apportioned on elected party position in the parliament.
Members must not have served time in prison for more than two years to be eligible, unless they served this period five years prior to the elections.
Attending sessions without being a member (even if memberships are cancelled in retrospect) is fined by a BDT1,000 ($14) fine per day, per Article 69.
As most candidates are elected by the funding, support and brand name of the party, resignation from the party is considered to void the choice of the people.
This is crucial in marginal majorities, where a few majority members voting against the majority essentially changes the government party in power.
This is considered harmful for parliamentary democracy, as the ban forces members to agree with their party leaders regardless of their own opinions or the opinions of their constituents.
During the last election Awami League leader Sheikh Hasina, prominent AL figure (and later President of Bangladesh) Zillur Rahman, BNP leader Khaleda Zia and Jatiya Party leader H M Ershad all were candidates in the maximum possible number of constituencies.
Current President Abdul Hamid and previous presidents Zillur Rahman, Iajuddin Ahmed, A. Q. M. Badruddoza Chowdhury and Shahabuddin Ahmed were all elected unopposed.
The Parliament can form parliamentary standing committees as it sees fit, for the purposes of examining bills, reviewing enforcement of the law and any other matter of public importance.
Parliament is generally regarded as a rubber stamp body as MPs cannot cross the floor, have free votes, or pass motions of no confidence due to Article 70 of the Constitution of Bangladesh.
Political scientists, judges in the Supreme Court, public intellectuals, newspapers and journalists, civil rights activists and members of parliament have demanded reform of the article.
Critics argue Article 70 tramples freedom of speech and freedom of conscience in parliament, in violation of the constitution's fundamental rights.
Additionally, it significantly limits the checks and balances on the Prime Minister's power, as there are few means by which s/he can be legally dismissed.
Article 78 of the Constitution provides immunity for the speeches, actions and votes of the Members done within parliamentary sessions, and members are not answerable for any such actions to the court.
The parliament itself is vested with the power to provide indemnity to anybody in service of the nation under Article 46.
This allowed the 2nd parliament in 1979 to ratify the Indemnity Ordinance that provided indemnity to the murderers of Sheikh Mujib.
The parliamentary groups of the Jatiya Sangsad are groups of Members of Parliament organised by a political party or coalition of parties.
The size of a group determines the extent of its representation on legislative committees, the time slots allotted for speaking, the number of committee chairs it can hold, and its representation in executive bodies of the parliament.
Every major political party appoints a whip who is responsible for the party's discipline and behaviour on the floor of the house.
The Parliament Secretariat, headed by a Senior Secretary, is in charge of all its administrative duties, including its clerical, broadcasting and information activities.
Most of the legislative work in the Parliament is done in the standing committees, which exist largely unchanged throughout one legislative period.
The number of Committees on Ministry approximates the number of Ministries of Bangladesh, and the titles of each are roughly similar (e.g., defence, agriculture, and labour).
The distribution of committee chairs and the membership of each committee reflect the relative strength of the various Parliamentary groups in the house.
Designed by the American architect, Louis Kahn, the building is one of the largest legislative complexes in the world, comprising 200 acres (800,000 m²).
Louis Kahn designed the entire Jatiya Sangsad complex, which includes lawns, lake and residences for the Members of the Parliament (MPs).
The main building, which is at the center of the complex, is divided into three parts – the Main Plaza, South Plaza and Presidential Plaza.
The Sangsad Library or Parliament Library claims to be the most comprehensive library in Bangladesh, holding over 85,000 books and many more reports, parliamentary debates, government gazettes, journals, magazines and newspapers.
The Library was established in 1972, after the immediate formation of the Constituent Assembly of Bangladesh to support the lawmakers and their staff.
The Library is administered by the Parliamentary Librarian, a statutory officer responsible for the control and management of the facility, reporting to the Deputy Speaker and the Library Committee.
Although the Library is open to the public, only current and former members of Parliament, secretariat staff, and authorised researchers may check out books and materials.
Prior to the establishment of the Sangsad TV, the Sangsad's programming was produced by the Ministry of Information and relayed in its Bangladesh Television.
With a total enrollment of about 40,400, it has the largest student body of the 23-campus California State University (CSU) system, and its approximately 5,800 graduate student body is also the largest in the CSU and one of the largest in all of California.
CSUF is a Hispanic-serving institution and is eligible to be designated as an Asian American Native American Pacific Islander serving institution (AANAPISI).
The university is nationally accredited in art, athletic training, business, chemistry, communications, communicative disorders, computer science, dance, engineering, music, nursing, public administration, public health, social work, teacher education and theater.
Spending related to CSUF generates an impact of around $2.26 billion to the California and local economy, and sustains nearly 16,000 jobs statewide.
In 1957, Orange County State College became the 12th state college in California to be authorized by the state legislature as a degree-granting institution.
On July 12, 1976, Edward Charles Allaway, a campus janitor with paranoid schizophrenia, shot nine people, killing seven, in the University Library (now the Pollak Library) on the Cal State Fullerton campus.
On October 13, 1984, Edward Cooperman, a physics professor, was shot and killed by his former student, Minh Van Lam, in McCarthy Hall.
On August 19, 2019, Steven Shek Keung Chan, 57, of Hacienda Heights was found with multiple stab wounds early Monday by police.
The Performing Arts Center was built in January 2006, and in the summer of 2008 the newly constructed Steven G. Mihaylo Hall and the new Student Recreation Center opened.
Clayes III Performing Arts Center, in honor of a $5 million pledge made to the university by the trustees of the Joseph A.W.
Since 1963, the curriculum has expanded to include many graduate programs, including multiple doctorate degrees, as well as numerous credential and certificate programs.
It is bordered on the east by the Orange Freeway (SR-57), on the west by State College Boulevard, on the north by Yorba Linda Boulevard, and on the south by Nutwood Avenue.
Although established in the late 1950s, much of the initial construction on campus took place in the late 1960s, under the supervision of artist and architect Howard van Heuklyn, who gave the campus a striking, futuristic architecture (buildings like Pollak Library South, Titan Shops, Humanities, McCarthy Hall).
Since 1993, the campus has added the College Park Building, Steven G. Mihaylo Hall, University Hall, the Titan Student Union, the Student Recreation Center, the Nutwood Parking Structure, the State College Parking Structure, Dan Black Hall, Joseph A.W.
In order to generate power for the university and become more sustainable, the campus installed solar panels on top of a number of buildings.
The panels, which generate up to 7–8 percent of the electrical power used daily, are atop the Eastside Parking Structure, Clayes Performing Arts Center and the Kinesiology and Health Science Building.
In August 2011, the university added a $143 million housing complex, which included five new residence halls, a convenience store and a 565-seat dining hall called the Gastronome.
The university operates a satellite campus in Irvine, California, approximately south of the original Fullerton location, the Grand Central Art Center in downtown Santa Ana, and a Garden Grove Center.
CSUF announced plans in May 2010 to buy the lot that Hope International University lies at, but this deal was later cut off.
CSUF also announced plans in September 2010 to expand into the area south of Nutwood Avenue, to construct a project called CollegeTown, which would integrate the surrounding residential areas and retail spaces into the campus.
The Desert Studies Center is a field station of the California State University located in Zzyzx, California in the Mojave Desert.
Is officially operated by the California Desert Studies Consortium, a consortium of 7 CSU campuses: Fullerton, Cal Poly Pomona, Long Beach, San Bernardino, Northridge, Dominguez Hills and Los Angeles.
As of the fall 2013 semester, CSUF is the third most applied to CSU out of all 23 campuses receiving nearly 65,000 applications, including over 40,000 for incoming freshmen and nearly 23,000 transfer applications, the second highest in the CSU.

CSUF alumni include an astronaut who has made two trips to space; the incoming speaker of the California Assembly; other politicians and Academy Award-winning directors, actors, producers and cinematographers; award-winning journalists, authors and screenwriters; nationally recognized teachers; presidents and CEOs of leading corporations; international opera stars, musicians and Broadway stars; and professional athletes, Olympians, doctors, scientists, researchers, and social activists.
A varnam is traditionally performed as an opening item by musicians in Carnatic music concerts to act as warm-up for the musicians, or as a centre main piece in Bharatanatyam dance concerts.
As a foundation to Carnatic music, varnams are also practised as vocal exercises by performers of Carnatic music, to help develop voice culture, and maintain proper pitch and control of rhythm.
The melodic patterns in a varnam are considered to be characteristic patterns of a particular raga, and assist a performer in ensuring the swaras of the raga are sung or played effectively.
Teachers of Carnatic music maintain that varnams must be practised in double and triple speeds by performers in order to develop the skills of manodharma (improvisation), particularly neraval and kalpanaswaras.
Kawanishi's N1K was originally built as a single pontoon floatplane fighter to support forward offensive operations where no airstrips were available, but by 1943 when the aircraft entered service, Japan was firmly on the defensive and there was no longer a need for a fighter to fulfill this role.
However, Kawanishi engineers had proposed in late 1941 that the N1K would also be the basis of a formidable land-based fighter and a land-based version was produced as a private venture by the company.
The aircraft retained the mid-mounted wing of the floatplane and combined with the large propeller this necessitated a long, stalky main landing gear.
A unique feature was the aircraft's combat flaps that automatically adjusted in response to acceleration, freeing up the pilot's concentration and reducing the chance of stalling in combat.
The N1K1-J, and the N1K2 Shiden-Kai released later that year, were among the rare Japanese aircraft that offered pilots an even chance against late-war American designs such as the F6F Hellcat and the F4U Corsair, and either could be a formidable weapon in the hands of an ace.
In February 1945 Lieutenant Kaneyoshi Muto, flying a N1K2-J as part of a group of at least 10 expert Japanese pilots, faced seven U.S. Navy Hellcats of VF-82 in the sky over Japan.
A close friend of Lieutenant Kaneyoshi Muto, ace pilot Saburō Sakai, states in his autobiography that a one-versus-twelve combat did take place, but with Muto at the controls of a Zero fighter.
Production difficulties and damage resulting from B-29 raids on factories led to only 415 of the superior N1K2-J fighters being produced.
Along with high speed the Shiden-Kai offered pilots an agile aircraft with a roll rate of 82°/sec at backing four powerful 20 mm cannons in the wings.
As a bomber interceptor the N1K2-J fared less well, hampered as it was by a poor rate of climb and reduced engine performance at high altitude.
A second encounter took place when pilots flying Shidens initially mistook Corsairs from Marine Fighter Squadron 123 (VMF-123) for Hellcats and attacked.
The second N1K2-Ja (s/n 5312), a fighter-bomber variant equipped with wing mounts to carry bombs, is on display in the Air Power gallery at the National Museum of the United States Air Force, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio.
This aircraft was displayed outside for many years in a children's playground in San Diego, suffering considerable corrosion, and had become seriously deteriorated.
In 1959 it was donated to the Museum through the cooperation of the San Diego Squadron of the Air Force Association.
Four different aircraft serial numbers were found on parts throughout the airframe, indicating reassembly from three different wrecks brought back to the U.S. for examination, or wartime assembly or repair from parts obtained from three different aircraft.
The third example (s/n 5341, tail code A343-35) is owned by the National Air and Space Museum but was restored by the Champlin Fighter Museum at Falcon Field, Mesa, Arizona, in return for the right to display the aircraft at Falcon Field for 10 years after restoration.
This aircraft is known to be from the 343rd Kōkūtai as the unit flew sorties in the area, but the tail code is unknown as it was partially restored from a corroded wreck recovered from the sea.
After an aerial battle on July 24, 1945, its pilot ditched the aircraft in the waters of the Bungo Channel, but he was never found; by the time of the aircraft's recovery from the seabed on July 14, 1979, he could be identified only as one of six pilots from the 343rd squadron who disappeared that day.
The Champaign–Urbana metropolitan area, also known as Champaign–Urbana and Urbana–Champaign as well as Chambana (to the locals), is a metropolitan area in east-central Illinois.
The Office of Management and Budget has designated the three-county Champaign–Urbana area as one of its metropolitan statistical areas (the Champaign–Urbana, IL MSA), which are used for statistical purposes by the Census Bureau and other agencies.
The area is anchored by the principal cities of Champaign and Urbana and is home to the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, the flagship campus of the University of Illinois system.
(University students, even those from outside the area, are included in Census figures if they were counted by the federal Census).
Beginning in the 1990s, city government began to aggressively court development, including by investing millions of dollars in public funds into downtown improvements and by offering developers incentives, such as liquor licenses, to pursue projects in the area.
The project began in 2007 by taking down the facade of the deteriorated Trevett-Mattis Banking Co. which previously occupied the building site.
The M2 includes not just condos for residential occupation, but also retail and office space in its lower floors, a common trend in new developments in the urban core.
In the Campustown area adjoining the University of Illinois, the new 24-story highrise apartment building 309 Green was ostensibly completed in the fall of 2007 but had partial occupancy at least through the fall of 2008.
It is tall, making it a full 3 stories higher than the older 21-story Tower at Third, the first contribution to the Urbana–Champaign skyline.
The Burnham 310 Project, at 18 stories, which is also taller (in overall height), was finished in the fall of 2008 and includes student luxury apartments and a County Market grocery store.
In 2013-14, four other mixed-use buildings (apartments above commercial) have been built in Campustown, with heights of 26, 13, 8, and 5 stories.
On the University of Illinois campus, Memorial Stadium has gone under major renovation, with construction of new stands, clubs, and luxury suites.
Across Kirby Avenue, the Assembly Hall, first built in 1963 and renamed the State Farm Center as part of a major renovation begun in 2014, continues to be the home of Illinois basketball and has resumed hosting concerts and other performing arts after renovation was completed in late 2016.
In the late 2000s, the restoration of the Champaign County Courthouse bell tower capped the expansion and renovation of Courthouse facilities and provided a striking focal point in downtown Urbana.
Instead of a sprawling suburban skirt that encircles the urban area, the urban area abuts large swaths of farmland, with small to medium-sized villages that originated as farming communities.
But, as the willingness of professionals to commute longer distances has increased in recent decades, new residential developments have arisen on their edges, dotting the surrounding landscape.
Most of these outlying communities, such as Savoy, Mahomet, St. Joseph, Tolono, and arguably Rantoul and Monticello as well, are dependent on Champaign and Urbana for economic and infrastructure support.
These areas are populated to a substantial extent with commuters who work in Champaign or Urbana, but reside outside the two cities.
Because higher paid professors, doctors and technology professionals who work for the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, the many clinics and hospitals in town, or in the Research Park, are more likely to maintain cars for commuting longer distances and to afford owner-occupied single-family housing, these areas lacking in mass transit and high-density rental projects often have a higher median household income than Champaign or Urbana.
In addition to residential developments in the surrounding, formerly agricultural communities, residential neighborhoods are also growing up in unincorporated areas within a short radius of the city limits, while the cities themselves are also expanding to annex areas of new development.
While the annexed areas benefit from municipal services, developments that are willing to forego city sewer systems, libraries and police protection can enjoy the lower tax rates the surrounding townships levy, as fewer services are provided.
Areas currently under construction extend as far as around Rising Road west of I-57 and north and east of Willard Airport.
On the eastern side of the city of Urbana, new business developments such as a Meijer, a planned Menards, and a commercial center with many restaurants and services have broken ground, as well as more suburban housing.
In addition to arguments for and against development, the question of potential annexations, which remove property tax revenues from the surrounding townships while increasing the urban tax base (but also the demands on urban services) is a point of constant strife between the cities and the surrounding townships.
On the other hand, the availability of higher-valued housing in areas belonging to the townships or surrounding villages, which is paid for by workers earning their money within the urban infrastructure also represents a movement of potential tax dollars from Champaign and Urbana to their dependent areas.
Both hospitals provide various specialized services, and Carle Hospital currently has a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a Level I Trauma Center, and a medical helicopter service.
It was renamed Carle Foundation Physician Services, and it maintains several locations next to the hospital, as well as other locations within Champaign-Urbana and other East Central Illinois cities.
Both hospitals and clinics are affiliated with the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Urbana, part of the larger University of Illinois College of Medicine, which has campuses in Chicago, Peoria, Rockford, and Urbana.
While the Assembly Hall is primarily a campus basketball and concert arena, the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts is considered to be one of the nation's top venues for performance and hosts over 400 performances annually.
Built in 1969, the Krannert Center's facilities cover over four acres (16,000 m²) of land, and features four theatres and an amphitheatre.
The Historic Virginia Theatre in downtown Champaign is a public venue owned by the city of Champaign and administered by the Champaign Park District.
The Virginia also features a variety of performances from community theatre with the Champaign Urbana Theatre Company, to post box-office showings of popular films, current artistic films, live musical performances (both orchestral and popular), and other types of shows.
First commissioned in 1921, it originally served as a venue for both film and live performances, but became primarily a movie house in the 1950s.
The theatre once again began holding regular live performances when it was leased to local gospel singer David Wyper in 1992.
The Art Theater in downtown Champaign began as Champaign's first theatre devoted to movies, the Park, in 1912, and is a small venue showing films not normally playing at the box office.
The Virginia, which hosts Roger Ebert's Annual Overlooked Film Festival, is also single-screen, but only opens for special showings and events.
Parkland College in Champaign features a small theatre called the Parkland College Theatre and a planetarium called the William M. Staerkel Planetarium.
Some lesser known artists like Alma Afrobeat Ensemble, Zirafa and Spinnerty, d-Lo, Bozak, Melodic Scribes, DJ Librarian, UC Hiphop, and Zmick are also worthy of note on simply a local scale.
Opening in 1990 in the heart of downtown Champaign, the Blind Pig Co on Taylor St was one of the first businesses to lead the renaissance of the formerly deserted downtown district.
Live music was featured 5 nights a week, and grunge and indy rock bands like the Afghan Whigs, Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair, Pavement and Everclear performed there on numerous occasions.
Blues legends like Luther Allison, Ronnie and Lonnie Brooks, Otis Clay and Robert Cotton were also featured, as were international acts like I.K.
The Blind Pig closed as a music venue in 1998, but re-opened as a craft beer bar in 2004, and a microbrewery in 2009.
The cities now host Pygmalion Music Festival on an annual basis, presented by the Nicodemus Agency and Krannert Center for the Performing Arts.
Past performers include Iron and Wine, The Books, Yacht, Rjd2, Yo La Tengo, Black Mountain, Asobi Seksu, Times New Viking, of Montreal, Danielson, Man Man, Okkervil River, Andrew Bird, Questlove, and more.
In 2009, the Champaign-Urbana metropolitan statistical area (MSA) ranked as the fourth highest in the United States for percentage of commuters who walked to work (9 percent).
In 2013, the Champaign-Urbana MSA ranked as the eleventh lowest in the United States for percentage of workers who commuted by private automobile (78.4 percent).
Routes 45 and 150 pass through the cities as well, and Illinois Routes 10 and 130 originate in Champaign and Urbana, respectively.
While greater Champaign-Urbana does not feature any professional sports teams, the University of Illinois fields many teams which compete in the Big Ten Conference.
Memorial Stadium is a football arena where the Fighting Illini football team plays, and the State Farm Center is the home of the highly successful Fighting Illini basketball team.
The team was scheduled to start playing in the 2009 baseball season, but was delayed in 2008 to the 2010 season at the earliest.
The University of Illinois hosted the 2013 NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Tennis Championships in May at the Kahn Outdoor Tennis Complex next to the Atkins Tennis Center and Eichelberger Field just south of Florida Avenue in Urbana.
Membership includes people who have served as military, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, provincial and municipal police, Royal Canadian Air, Army and Sea Cadets, direct relatives of members and also affiliated members.
The Great War Veterans Association, co-founded in 1917 by Lillian Bilsky Freiman, was by 1919 the largest veterans' organization in Canada.
Field Marshal Earl Haig, founder of the British Empire Service League (now known as the Royal Commonwealth Ex-Services League), visited Canada in 1925 and urged the organizations to merge.
In November 1925, the Canadian Legion was founded in Winnipeg, Manitoba, as the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Services League.
The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 593 erected a memorial in Ottawa dedicated to those who died in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War.
Often the Legion Hall is a major community centre, combining the functions of a pub, pool hall, dance hall, bingo hall, banquet hall, and so on.
With the formation of the Legion in 1925 the Poppy was adopted as a national symbol of remembrance and the focal point of the Poppy Campaign.
In 1948 the Government of Canada chose to award the trademark copyright of the Poppy to the Royal Canadian Legion - a move made to protect the image from misuse.
This trademark copyright remains in effect today restricting its usage to remembrance within Canada and under the authority of the Royal Canadian Legion.
The Legion is responsible for Canada's remembrance poppy campaign which distributes plastic lapel poppies to be worn in the lead up to Remembrance Day.
Typically, the poppies are offered up for donation as a symbol of remembrance, using an honour system, with the poppies being left in open places with a receptacle for leaving a donation toward the campaign.
Funds raised are used to support ex-service members in need and to fund medical appliances and research, home services, care facilities and numerous other purposes benefiting veterans.
The Legion also performs ceremonies annually at the gravesites of Canadian and British servicemen interred in the United States, generally on a Sunday in May.
In 1962 the Legion began a summer sports camp at the International Peace Garden which is run to this day, and has helped to train over 48,000 school age athletes.
There are many privately run Legion bands across the country, acting independently and in the community in which they are based.
The Royal Canadian Legion Concert Band in Toronto has been active for over a century and is one of the oldest legion bands in the country.
Many legion bands are led by former bandsmen, most notably James Gayfer, the former director of the Band of the Canadian Guards from 1953-1961, who would later go on the found the Petawawa Legion Community Band in 1978.
In May 1978, legion bands congregated at the Olymic Stadium in Montreal for the Legion Day celebrations, becoming one of the largest legion combined activities recorded.
In 2015, the Royal Canadian Legion, donated $830,000 to the BCIT School of Business to fund the Legion Military Skills Conversion Program.
The Royal Canadian Legion provides assistance to Veterans and eligible family members in Reviews and Appeals before the Veterans Review and Appeal Board.
The RCL and the Bureau of Pensions Advocates often work together to prepare cases and represent Veteran clients before the Board when those clients wish to appeal disability pension and award decisions made by Veterans Affairs Canada.
Non-Commonwealth subjects from an Allied nation who support the aims and objects of The Royal Canadian Legion can apply for affiliate non-voting membership.
The 5P Legal Services Team provides assistance for veterans completing and submitting application forms and effective representation for veterans appearing at Veterans Review and Appeal Board hearings in Ottawa and Ontario.

Pallavi in Sanskrit is used as an adjective or a verb with appropriate suffix to denote a small and tender red-coloured leaf of a plant or a tendril.
In functional analysis and related branches of mathematics, the Banach–Alaoglu theorem (also known as Alaoglu's theorem) states that the closed unit ball of the dual space of a normed vector space is compact in the weak* topology.
A common proof identifies the unit ball with the weak* topology as a closed subset of a product of compact sets with the product topology.
A proof of this theorem for separable normed vector spaces was published in 1932 by Stefan Banach, and the first proof for the general case was published in 1940 by the mathematician Leonidas Alaoglu.
Since the Banach–Alaoglu theorem is proven via Tychonoff's theorem, it relies on the ZFC axiomatic framework, in particular the axiom of choice.
This theorem has applications in physics when one describes the set of states of an algebra of observables, namely that any state can be written as a convex linear combination of so-called pure states.
This is a motivation for having different topologies on a same space since in contrast the unit ball in the norm topology is compact if and only if the space is finite-dimensional, cf.
A special case of the Banach–Alaoglu theorem is the sequential version of the theorem, which asserts that the closed unit ball of the dual space of a separable normed vector space is sequentially compact in the weak* topology.
In fact, the weak* topology on the closed unit ball of the dual of a separable space is metrizable, and thus compactness and sequential compactness are equivalent.
Due to the constructive nature of its proof (as opposed to the general case, which is based on the axiom of choice), the sequential Banach–Alaoglu theorem is often used in the field of partial differential equations to construct solutions to PDE or variational problems.
In the case of a normed vector space, the polar of a neighbourhood is closed and norm-bounded in the dual space.
This is because the closed unit ball is only a neighborhood of the origin in the strong topology, but is usually not a neighbourhood of the origin in the weak-* topology, as it has empty interior in the weak* topology, unless the space is finite-dimensional.
A blueshift is any decrease in wavelength (increase in energy), with a corresponding increase in frequency, of an electromagnetic wave; the opposite effect is referred to as redshift.
The term applies to any decrease in wavelength and increase in frequency caused by relative motion, even outside the visible spectrum.
Only objects moving at near-relativistic speeds toward the observer are noticeably bluer to the naked eye, but the wavelength of any reflected or emitted photon or other particle is shortened in the direction of travel.
It is a natural consequence of conservation of energy and mass–energy equivalence, and was confirmed experimentally in 1959 with the Pound–Rebka experiment.
Gravitational blueshift contributes to cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy via the Sachs–Wolfe effect: when a gravitational well evolves while a photon is passing, the amount of blueshift on approach will differ from the amount of gravitational redshift as it leaves the region.
One of the largest blueshifts is found in the narrow-line quasar, PG 1543+489, which has a relative velocity of -1150 km/s.
In a hypothetical universe undergoing a runaway Big Crunch contraction, a cosmological blueshift would be observed, with galaxies further away being increasingly blueshifted—the exact opposite of the actually observed cosmological redshift in the present expanding universe.
Peace, Love, Death Metal is the debut studio album by Eagles of Death Metal, released by AntAcidAudio on March 23, 2004.
Homme promoted the band and wore one of its t-shirts when appearing on the Lollapalooza tour with his main band Queens of the Stone Age in 2003.
He is the founder of Magna International, an international automotive parts company based in Aurora, Ontario, Canada, Granite Real Estate, and Stronach Group, which specializes in horse-racing.
Born as Franz Strohsack in Kleinsemmering, Styria, Austria, to working-class parents, Stronach's childhood was marked by the Great Depression and the Second World War.
They have two children: Belinda Stronach, a former Liberal (and previously Conservative) MP and former CEO of Magna, and Andrew Stronach, who is involved in thoroughbred horse racing, via the Adena Springs Farms breeding operations.
On 1 October 2018, he and his wife filed a lawsuit against their daughter Belinda, their grandchildren Nicole and Frankie, and Alon Ossip for failure to honour commitments regarding the management of The Stronach Group (TSG), from which Frank Stronach resigned as trustee in 2013 when he ran for office in Austria.
In 1973, the name was converted from Multimatic Investments Ltd to Magna International Ltd. Over the following decades, after several mergers and acquisitions, his business gradually became the major force it is today.
Stronach, who is currently the non-executive chairman of Magna International, holds multiple-voting shares of the company, which gives him majority voting power over issues brought to shareholder vote.
In 1997, he announced the project to build an amusement park in Ebreichsdorf, which would have included a giant globe representing the earth that would have been 110 m high and visible from every point in the Viennese Basin.
In the newly merged company Magna Steyr, he successfully prevented the establishment of works councils, in violation of Austrian labour law by reprimanding workers who were cooperating with unions.
Stronach is the owner of Stronach Group which specializes in horse-racing entertainment and owns and operates some of the most prominent racetracks in the United States.
Among his early successes was his partnership with Nelson Bunker Hunt in the filly Glorious Song who was voted the 1980 Sovereign Award for Canadian Horse of the Year.
His horses have won the Queen's Plate in 1994 and 1997, the Belmont Stakes in 1997, and the Preakness Stakes in 2000.
His horse Ghostzapper won several major races including the 2004 Breeders' Cup Classic, was voted the Eclipse Award for Horse of the Year, and named the World's Top Ranked Horse for 2004.
He subsequently established Adena Springs Farms which owns horse breeding farms in Kentucky, Florida and Canada and won the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Breeder in 2004, 2005 and 2006.
Stronach was a candidate of the Liberal Party of Canada in the 1988 federal election for the riding of York—Simcoe, but was defeated by the Progressive Conservative John Cole.
These connections were most famously exhibited when Progressive Conservative Premier Ernie Eves and Finance Minister Janet Ecker delivered the 2003 Ontario budget from a Magna plant.
This led to accusations that the government was violating centuries of parliamentary tradition, and is generally believed to have had a negative impact on the Progressive Conservatives in the next provincial election.
In November 2011, he called for an 'intellectual revolution' in Austria, suggesting that he would be willing to fund a student-led political party.
He called for a flat tax of 20%, a reduction in bureaucracy by 10% over five years, and a balanced budget.
His programme has been compared to the Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZÖ); Stronach has recently admired the BZÖ's leader Josef Bucher as the only politician in Austria that represents economic liberalism.
This led to suggestions that Stronach would take over the BZÖ ahead of the 2013 elections so as to give his movement seats in Parliament.
Four MPs – Gerhard Köfer of the Social Democratic Party, Elisabeth Kaufmann-Bruckberger of the BZÖ and independents Robert Lugar and Erich Tadler – have agreed to join the party.
The endorsement of at least three members of the National Council is required for a party to compete in general elections (alternatively, a quorum of 2,600 signatures in support of the party's candidacy have to be collected).
In spite of a budget three times larger than its closest competitors and the fact that Stronach was at the same time the president of the Austrian Bundesliga, the club managed to win the Austrian Championship only twice.
Due to opposition among prominent members of FK Austria Wien, Stronach decided on 21 November 2005 to withdraw from the club.
On 6 September 2005, Stronach announced that he and Magna International were committing $2 million to start a model community for people displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
Auto-parts giant Magna International Inc. and MEC are scouting for about in an area of Baton Rouge in Louisiana to set up trailers and infrastructure.
The aeroplane turns the sky into a new battlefield and eliminates the distinction between frontline and hinterland, with the civilian population far behind the frontline also becoming a target.
It recognizes a distinguished example of feature photography in black and white or color, which may consist of a photograph or photographs, a sequence or an album.
It was released in September 1975 by United Artists Records and on 14 November 1975 in the United Kingdom by Jet Records.
Following the conclusion of the Eldorado's European leg of the tour, the band began recording the new album at Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany.
This was the first time ELO recorded at Musicland and the band would later return to record most of the future albums here due to frontman Jeff Lynne's great fondness for it and his working relationship with sound engineer Mack.
New measures were taken to ensure a more-complex but satisfying sound, such as backing female vocalists of Ellie Greenwich, Susan Collins, Nancy O'Neill and Marge Raymond, a choir, and the band's string trio of Mik Kaminski, Hugh McDowell and Melvyn Gale mixed into the backing 30-piece string section and also allowing them to perform solo bits on some of the records.
The backing orchestra was recorded separately from the band's initial sessions, being recorded instead at De Lane Lea Studios in London, England.
It begins with a haunting synthesizer (provided by Richard Tandy) playing a repeating broken chord of E♭, A, C, A along with a backing choir.
The haunting opening concludes with the backing orchestra repeating the same broken chord as the synthesizer before transitioning into a more symphonic-rock bridge accompanied by the drums.
The song suddenly shifts to a rock sound with a prominent acoustic guitar riff where Kelly Groucutt joins on the bass guitar.
Jeff Lynne later remarked the entire concept of the song started with the idea of classical symphonic sound would collide with a rock and roll sound.
Kaminski, McDowell and Gale all play together mixed with the backing orchestra in the song's entirety, adding an extra layer of orchestration.
The song was not released as a single anywhere with the exception of France and Australia where it became a minor hit.
It includes a small section of in-studio banter and Lynne doing a count-in and also includes a slightly extended studio ending.
The song was written by Lynne in a matter of just a few minutes near the end of the Face the Music studio sessions in June 1975.
Originally supposed to be a filler track to give the album a longer runtime, it quickly became a worldwide hit and was released as a single only a month after the album's release.
The main song features a more disco-like rhythm (aside from the short orchestral interlude on the album version) with Tandy's piano riff and Lynne's acoustic guitar playing the chords Am, Em7 and Dm7.
The middle section features a piano solo by Tandy and a string ascending melody together before cutting an unusual string break.
An additional verse was written for the song but was cut from the final mix as proven in the stripped mix of the song which is found as a bonus track on the reissue of the album.
The song is a fast-tempo guitar-rocker featuring Kelly Groucutt on both lead and harmony vocals, one of few times where Jeff Lynne does not sing the lead.
Each chorus features more instrumentation than the previous: the first being just a guitar with a phaser effect, piano and mild percussion, the second having drums and an ascending string orchestration added and the third having more layers of strings.
Though drums are a feature used in the studio recording of the song, drummer Bev Bevan would leave his drum set and join Lynne and Groucutt on the front of the stage, playing tambourine and singing the baritone parts of the song during live performances.
The ELO string trio has a greater influence on sound of this track, playing independently from the backing orchestra in a more fiddle-like fashion.
The song features an orchestral opening with Lynne singing with a soft tenor voice; the main verses and chorus feature Lynne on acoustic guitar with a phaser effect on it.
Lynne's father, who had been vocally critical about Lynne's early albums admired the song and Lynne recalled that his father would hum the song.
The Portsmouth Yardstick (PY) or Portsmouth handicap scheme is a term used for a number of related systems of empirical handicapping used primarily in small sailboat racing.
The handicap is applied to the time taken to sail any course, and the handicaps can be used with widely differing types of sailboats.
The various schemes are not directly linked, and ratings for the same class can and often do vary in the different schemes.
The most prominent Portsmouth Yardstick systems are probably those administered in the United States by the Portsmouth Numbers Committee, in the United Kingdom by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and in Australia by Victoria Yachting.
In 1960 he handed over the administration to the RYA and in 1976 a new YR2 format was used, with the Langstone tables being removed in 1986.
The Portsmouth Yardstick was extended to multihulls in 1973 and from 1977 four forms were used, for dinghy, multihull, keel and cruiser.
Due to the increasing performance of boats, particularly multihulls, the base range of the numbers has been increased twice over the years and are now roughly centred on 1,000.
In the United States, the Thistle was chosen as primary yardstick for compilation in 1961 with a value of 83.0, which corresponded to its RYA PN rating at the time.
Wind Handicap Factors (HC) are an extension conceived by the DIYRA Portsmouth Numbers Committee to take a more realistic account of wind and wave conditions for different classes.
where Scale is 100 for US and AUS numbers, and 1000 for UK numbers, and Handicap is the applicable Portsmouth Number for the given class of boat.
Each boat's time is adjusted with the formula, and then the adjusted scores are compared to determine the outcome of the race.
For example, a PD Racer (a semi-open homebuilt class, and the slowest listed boat in the USA scheme) has a D-PN of 140, and an A-Scow (the fastest listed centreboard boat) has a D-PN of 61.3.
There are hundreds of boats that have a Portsmouth Number, or D-PN, or both; the table below gives some notable examples.
The classes included below are from those used at the 2012 Olympics, the 2012 Paralympic Games, and the 2012 ISAF Youth Worlds.
Larger sailboats are more likely to use the Performance Handicap Racing Fleet handicapping system in North America, or the IRC handicapping system in Europe, Australia & New Zealand.
There are many other methods of handicapping sailboat racing, including performance handicapping systems such as Echo, used in Ireland, and NHC, used in the UK.
On the Third Day is the third studio album by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), and the first to be recorded without input from Roy Wood.
It was released in the United States in November 1973 by United Artists Records, and in the United Kingdom on 14 December 1973 by Warner Bros. Records.
Violinist Mik Kaminski made his debut on side one of this album, replacing Wilfred Gibson, although Gibson plays on side two (plus the bonus tracks).
It was, however, included on the U.S. version of the album, because the band remained on United Artists Records in the U.S.
Although he didn't record on the album, Hugh McDowell did appear on this front cover of the U.S. album seen at right, which was an unusual photograph taken by famed photographer Richard Avedon that had ELO displaying their navels.
This is a list of aviation-related events from 1977, This is the year of the second-deadliest air disaster in history, the Tenerife airport disaster.
Richard Tandy made his ELO studio debut on this album, playing keyboards; he had earlier performed live with the original lineup alongside Wood, Lynne, drummer Bev Bevan, Gibson and cellist Mike Edwards, playing bass (and in TV appearances with The Move playing guitar).
In 2006 the album was remastered and expanded in the US, with a slightly different running order to the UK 2003 EMI version, with both versions sharing the same Hipgnosis album art for the first time.
Tracks 9-12 on disc one were recorded in April 1973 and feature glam rock superstar Marc Bolan, who was also recording at AIR Studios at that time, on double lead guitar on tracks 10–12.
The band re-recorded two of these songs for the third album because of ELO's label change in the UK before it was released.
Tracks 6-8 on disc one and track 5 on disc two were recorded in June 1973, with track 6 becoming a hit single in the UK.
It is sometimes called the ultradian sleep cycle, sleep–dream cycle, or REM-NREM cycle, to distinguish it from the circadian alternation between sleep and wakefulness.
Electroencephalography shows the timing of sleep cycles by virtue of the marked distinction in brainwaves manifested during REM and non-REM sleep.
Secretions of various hormones, including renin, growth hormone, and prolactin, correlate positively with delta-wave activity, while secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone correlates inversely.
In order to determine in which stage of sleep the asleep subject is, electroencephalography is combined with other devices used for this differentiation.
EMG (electromyography) is a crucial method to distinguish between sleep phases: for example, in general, a decrease of muscle tone is characteristic of the transition from wake to sleep (Kleitman, 1963; Chase & Morales, 1990), and during REM sleep there is a state of muscles atonia, resulting in an absence of signals in the EMG.
EOG (electrooculography), the measure of the eyes’ movement, is the third method used in the sleep architecture measurement; for example, REM sleep, as the name indicates, is characterized by a rapid eye movement pattern, visible thanks to the EOG.
Moreover, methods based on cardiorespiratry parameters are also effective in the analysis of sleep architecture, if they are associated the other aforementioned measurements (such as electroencephalography, electrooculography and the electromyography).
Thus, during REM sleep, body temperature tends to drift away from its mean level, and during non-REM sleep, to return to normal.
Researchers have proposed different models to elucidate the undoubtedly complex rhythm of electrochemical processes that result in the regular alternation of REM and NREM sleep.
In cats the sleep cycle lasts about 30 minutes, in rats about 12 minutes, and in elephants up to 120 minutes.
(In this regard the ontogeny of the sleep cycle appears proportionate with metabolic processes, which vary in proportion with organism size.
The cycle can be defined as lasting from the end of one REM period to the end of the next, or from the beginning of REM, or from the beginning of non-REM stage 2.
A 7–8-hour sleep probably includes five cycles, the middle two of which tend to be longer than the first and fourth.
Ernest Hartmann found in 1968 that humans seem to continue a roughly 90-minute ultradian rhythm throughout a 24-hour day, whether they are asleep or awake.
According to this hypothesis, during the period of this cycle corresponding with REM, people tend to daydream more and show less muscle tone.
A difficulty for this theory is the fact that a long non-REM phase almost always precedes REM, regardless of when in the cycle a person falls asleep.
Michel Jouvet found that cats with forebrains removed continued to display REM-like characteristics on a 30-minute cycle, despite never entering slow-wave sleep.
Duloxetine, sold under the brand name Cymbalta among others, is a medication used to treat major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia, and neuropathic pain.
A 2014 Cochrane review concluded that duloxetine is beneficial in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy and fibromyalgia but that more comparative studies with other medicines are needed.
While duloxetine has demonstrated improvement in depression-related symptoms compared to placebo, comparisons of duloxetine to other antidepressant medications have been less successful.
It thus did not recommend duloxetine as a first line treatment for major depressive disorder, given the (then) high cost of duloxetine compared to inexpensive off-patent antidepressants and lack of increased efficacy.
Duloxetine was approved for the pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), based on the positive results of two clinical trials.
The average daily pain was measured using an 11-point scale, and duloxetine treatment resulted in an additional 1–1.7 points decrease of pain as compared with placebo.
A Cochrane review concluded that the evidence in support of duloxetine's efficacy in treating painful diabetic neuropathy was adequate, and that further trials should focus on comparisons with other medications.
On November 4, 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved duloxetine to treat chronic musculoskeletal pain, including discomfort from osteoarthritis and chronic lower back pain.
Duloxetine failed to receive US approval for stress urinary incontinence amid concerns over liver toxicity and suicidal events; it was approved for this use in the UK, however, where it is recommended as an add-on medication in stress urinary incontinence instead of surgery.
The safety and utility of duloxetine in the treatment of incontinence has been evaluated in a series of meta analyses and practice guidelines.
In addition, the FDA has reported on life-threatening drug interactions that may be possible when co-administered with triptans and other drugs acting on serotonin pathways leading to increased risk for serotonin syndrome.
In a trial for major depressive disorder (MDD), the most commonly reported treatment-emergent adverse events among duloxetine-treated patients were nausea (34.7%), dry mouth (22.7%), headache (20.0%) and dizziness (18.7%), and except for headache, these were reported significantly more often than in the placebo group.
In a long-term study of fibromyalgia patients receiving duloxetine, frequency and type of adverse effects was similar to that reported in the MDD trial above.
In 4 clinical trials of duloxetine for the treatment of MDD, sexual dysfunction occurred significantly more frequently in patients treated with duloxetine than those treated with placebo, and this difference occurred only in men.
Frequency of treatment-emergent sexual dysfunction were similar for duloxetine and SSRIs when compared in a 6-month observational study in depressed patients.
Rates of sexual dysfunction in MDD patients treated with duloxetine vs escitalopram did not differ significantly at 4, 8, and 12 weeks of treatment, although the trend favored duloxetine (33.3% of duloxetine patients experienced sexual side effects compared to 43.6% of those receiving escitalopram and 25% of those receiving placebo).
During marketing of other SSRIs and SNRIs, there have been spontaneous reports of adverse events occurring upon discontinuation of these drugs, particularly when abrupt, including the following: dysphoric mood, irritability, agitation, dizziness, sensory disturbances (e.g., paresthesias such as brain zap electric shock sensations), anxiety, confusion, headache, lethargy, emotional lability, insomnia, hypomania, tinnitus, and seizures.
If intolerable symptoms occur following a decrease in the dose or upon discontinuation of treatment, then resuming the previously prescribed dose may be considered.
In placebo-controlled clinical trials of up to nine weeks' duration of patients with MDD, a systematic evaluation of discontinuation symptoms in patients taking duloxetine following abrupt discontinuation found the following symptoms occurring at a rate greater than or equal to 2% and at a significantly higher rate in duloxetine-treated patients compared to those discontinuing from placebo: dizziness, nausea, headache, paresthesia, vomiting, irritability, and nightmare.
The FDA requires all antidepressants, including duloxetine, to carry a black box warning stating that antidepressants may increase the risk of suicide in persons younger than 25.
This warning is based on statistical analyses conducted by two independent groups of the FDA experts that found a 2-fold increase of the suicidal ideation and behavior in children and adolescents, and 1.5-fold increase of suicidality in the 18–24 age group.
To obtain statistically significant results the FDA had to combine the results of 295 trials of 11 antidepressants for psychiatric indications.
As suicidal ideation and behavior in clinical trials are rare, the results for any drug taken separately usually do not reach statistical significance.
In 2005 the United States FDA released a public health advisory noting that there had been 11 reports of suicide attempts and 3 reports of suicidality within the mostly middle-aged women participating in the open label extension trials of duloxetine for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
The suicide attempt rate in the SUI study population (based on 9,400 patients) was calculated to be 400 per 100,000 person years.
This rate is greater than the suicide attempt rate among middle-aged U.S. women that has been reported in published studies, i.e., 150 to 160 per 100,000 person years.
In addition, one death from suicide was reported in a Cymbalta clinical pharmacology study in a healthy female volunteer without SUI.
Reported adverse events that were temporally correlated to duloxetine therapy include rash, reported rarely, and the following adverse events, reported very rarely: alanine aminotransferase increased, alkaline phosphatase increased, anaphylactic reaction, angioneurotic edema, aspartate aminotransferase increased, bilirubin increased, glaucoma, hepatotoxicity, hyponatremia, jaundice, orthostatic hypotension (especially at the initiation of treatment), Stevens–Johnson syndrome, syncope (especially at initiation of treatment), and urticaria.
Duloxetine increases dopamine (DA) specifically in the prefrontal cortex, where there are few DA reuptake pumps, via the inhibition of NE reuptake pumps (NET), which is believed to mediate reuptake of DA and NE.
Duloxetine has no significant affinity for dopaminergic, cholinergic, histaminergic, opioid, glutamate, and GABA reuptake transporters, however, and can therefore be considered to be a selective reuptake inhibitor at the 5-HT and NE transporters.
Major depressive disorder is believed to be due in part to an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines within the central nervous system.
serotonin metabolism inhibition, cause a decrease in proinflammatory cytokine activity and an increase in anti-inflammatory cytokines; this mechanism may apply to duloxetine in its effect on depression but research on cytokines specific to duloxetine therapy is lacking.
The analgesic properties of duloxetine in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy and central pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia are believed to be due to sodium ion channel blockade.
Food does not affect the C of duloxetine, but delays the time to reach peak concentration from 6 to 10 hours.
Elimination: Duloxetine has an elimination half-life of about 12 hours (range 8 to 17 hours) and its pharmacokinetics are dose proportional over the therapeutic range.
David Robertson; David Wong, a co-discoverer of fluoxetine; and Joseph Krushinski are listed as inventors on the patent application filed in 1986 and granted in 1990.
The (+)-enantiomer of LY227942, assigned LY248686, was chosen for further studies, because it inhibited serotonin reuptake in rat synaptosomes to twice the degree of the (–)-enantiomer.
It may also be a factor in causing more severe liver injury, but there are no cases in the NDA database that clearly demonstrate this.
After the manufacturing issues were resolved, the liver toxicity warning included in the prescribing information, and the follow-up studies showed that duloxetine does not cause QTc interval prolongation, duloxetine was approved by the FDA for depression and diabetic neuropathy in 2004.
Cymbalta generated sales of nearly $5 billion in 2012 with $4 billion of that in the U.S., but its patent protection terminated January 1, 2014.
Lilly received a six-month extension beyond June 30, 2013 after testing for the treatment of depression in adolescents, which may produce $1.5 billion in added sales.
It is a residential area just 15 minutes by bus from Sliema and within walking distance of Malta's nightlife and entertainment centres, Paceville and St. Julian's.
It accommodated 8,099 people as of November 2005; a small number of service industries, IT facilities and English language schools have taken root.
The hamlet of Madliena owes its origin to the Chapel of St. Mary Magdalen, which was built in the 15th century.
The town's coat of arms features a red and gold zig-zag motif indicating the valleys and fields of Tal-Ibraġ, blue waves indicating the watering courses (swieqi in Maltese) and a silver saltire.
Madliena is indicated with the red letter M. Swieqi has its own local council, and in 2007 it had its own postal code instated (SWQ...).
The town fell under the jurisdiction of St. Julian's, Birkirkara, San Ġwann, Naxxar and Ħal Għargħur at different times in its history.
In those days only a few families lived in the area and the majority of these were farmers and manual labourers.
These people worked hard for the church to be built and so that they could finally have their own chapel where they could participate in the eucharistic liturgy and gather together in prayer.
The building was completed within two years, and Bishop Emmanuel Galea blessed the church and consecrated the marble altar on 13 February 1966.
He managed to complete the church with plastering, woodworks, lighting, floor tiles, benches and other amenities, and also commissioned the titular statue of Our Lady, which was to be the focal point of the church.
The late Emvin Cremona designed the splendid sculpture, which was carved out from a single block of wood by Vincent Moroder of Ortisei, Italy.
This tabernacle is presently positioned in the hall under the church parvis, while the set of angels is temporarily held in storage.
Fr Vincent organised various social activities and the eager response of the community showed the importance of the church as a social centre.
Fr Schembri was given the brief to construct a parish church in the centre of nearby Pembroke which meant that the Tal-Ibrag church would remain a chapel.
This decision was a disappointment to the local community who wished the parish church to be the heart of the area.
Within a year the building was completed and on Christmas Eve 1995 the Evening Vigil Mass was celebrated in the new church.
Dalli not only undertook the task of seeing to the building of the church, but he also embarked on building a very active community with many lay people involved in providing a service to the community.
Fr Dalli commissioned the artist Marco Cremona to start work on a very large crucifix that would be affixed to the wall behind the altar.
The Way of the Cross, which was damaged when vandals set the church on fire on 13 June 1995, was also restored.
Two new Stations of the Cross - one representing the Last Supper and the other of the Risen Christ - were also commissioned.
On Easter Sunday, 4 April 1999, the church was declared a parish under the title of Immaculate Mary Mother of the Church.
There has been a decline in PN fortunes over these past few years though perhaps due to the emergence of Professor Arnold Cassola who is now a general secretary of the Green Party in Europe.
Swieqi is the former hometown of Dolores Cristina, former Minister for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport and currently acting President, and Michael Frendo, former Minister for Foreign Affairs.
It is the aim of the Councils to lay out the foundations for a new and profound relationship of friendship and solidarity.
In July 2002, eleven youths from Swieqi participated in a youth exchange programme, mainly financed by the European Union's programme YOUTHS.
In the Middle Ages, when the area of the Swieqi Local Council formed part of the Birkirkara Parish, Swieqi was just a stretch of public land void of any buildings.
In the first few twenty years of the 16th century, a certain Augustinu Borg occupied a piece of land in Swieqi, in an area known as Nadur Callel.
A couple of Birkirkara residents, amongst them Ġorġ Lanza Zarb, could not bear to see public land to be stolen so selfishly.
On 29 August 1533, the court decided that the plot on which Augustinu Borg built was public land and therefore it ordered that this be classified as ‘reduci ad pristinum publicum statum’, meaning that the land was to be restored to its original state.
Despite being the oldest organization in the locality, the club is nevertheless one of the youngest football clubs in Malta and its committee is composed of residents of Swieqi.
Swieqi United is often referred to as: 'Swieqi's Pride' since the club has successfully exported Swieqi's name across the island and made the locality much more visible on the sporting and international arena.
Rainham is a part of the Medway Towns conurbation its population often included under Gillingham in the unitary authority of Medway, in South East England, and part of the ceremonial county of Kent.
Historically, Rainham was a separate village until, in 1928, it was added to the Municipal Borough of Gillingham, which was originally created in 1903 and was grouped into the latter's built-up area in analysis of the 2011 census by the Office for National Statistics.
It became part of the Medway authority when Gillingham was incorporated with the other towns to form Medway Unitary Authority in 1998.
It has its own leisure and retail hub and unlike Gillingham has a traditional area broadly to the south and which since the late 20th century is largely residential housing.
Rainham occupies a large stretch of land from the dip slope of a moderate rise of the North Downs of about above sea level, descending to a frontage on the River Medway's natural harbour to the north.
The area towards Gillingham is known as Rainham Mark, named after an old ecclesiastical boundary: and Macklands is an older part of the town to the north.
The manor house was home to members of the Mackay family, who owned a printing company in Chatham, which has now become CPi Books.
When the railway came in 1858 it brought an almost immediate increase in the size of the village; when the Chatham Main Line was electrified in 1959, as with all the places served by it, town growth began again.
Five Iraqi Air Force jets violate the no-fly zone over southern Iraq and two others violate the no-fly zone over northern Iraq.
The United States claims that Iraqi aircraft have violated the two no-fly zones a total of 70 times since Operation Desert Fox took place in mid-December 1998.
Knutson was a strong supporter of creating an independent western Canada, in which the west would become sovereign from Canada's federal government.
With the advent Canada's National Energy Program in 1980, which gave the federal government more control over oil and gas resources in western Canada, he founded the Western Canada Federation (West-Fed), a non-partisan organization to fight the federal Liberal Party.
Knutson held the belief that the 1931 Statute of Westminster, which granted legislative equality with the United Kingdom to Canada, also granted sovereignty to the provinces, because the provinces had not individually signed on to confederation.
Many West-Fed members eventually left the organization to join the Victoria-based Western Canada Concept (WCC) party which, unlike West-Fed, fielded candidates in elections.
He tried his hand at provincial politics in two by-elections as well as the 1986 Alberta General Election in the Olds-Didsbury riding, and came up second.
He worked on road gangs, in lumber camps and mines until he won a baseball scholarship to a Lutheran college in North Dakota, USA.
It started on 15 March 1815 when King Joachim Murat declared war on Austria and ended on 20 May 1815 with the signing of the Treaty of Casalanza.
The war occurred during the Hundred Days between Napoleon's return from exile and before he left Paris to be decisively defeated at the Battle of Waterloo.
The war was triggered by a pro-Napoleon uprising in Naples, and ended with a decisive Austrian victory at the Battle of Tolentino after which Bourbon monarch Ferdinand IV was reinstated as King of Naples and Sicily.
However, after defeat at the Battle of Austerlitz and the Treaty of Pressburg, Ferdinand was forced to cede Naples to the French in early 1806.
As defeat in the War of the Sixth Coalition loomed, Murat increasingly moved away from Napoleon, eventually signing a treaty with Austria in January 1814 and joined the Allied side.
But as the Congress of Vienna progressed, Murat's position became less and less secure as there was growing support to restore Ferdinand to the throne.
The most vocal of all Murat's opponents was the United Kingdom, which had never recognised Murat's claim to the throne and moreover had been guarding Ferdinand in Sicily, ensuring he retained the Sicilian throne.
When Murat was informed of Napoleon's plan to escape from exile in Elba on 1 March 1815, Murat sided with him once more, and declared war on Austria as soon as he learned of Napoleon's return to France.
Joachim Murat declared war on Austria on 15 March 1815, five days before Napoleon's return to Paris and the beginning of his Hundred Days.
The Austrians were prepared for war, after their suspicions were raised when Murat applied for permission weeks earlier to move his troops through Austrian land in order to attack the south of France.
At the start of the war, Murat reportedly had 82,000 men in his army, including 7,000 cavalry and 90 cannon, although this figure was grossly exaggerated to try to encourage Italians to join his cause.
On 30 March, Murat had arrived in Rimini, where he gave the famous Rimini Proclamation, inciting all Italian nationalists to war.
Under the terms settled by the Congress of Vienna, direct Austrian rule was restored in the Duchy of Milan 19 years after .
Murat was hoping that an Austrian army in Naples would prove too much, and that the Italian population would rise up in support of his cause.
However, no such general insurrection occurred as any unrest was quickly quashed by the Austrian authorities and Murat found few Italians outside Naples were willing to take up arms and join his cause.
By now, the number of Austrian troops in Lombardy had swelled to 120,000 and the commander entrusted with the force to confront Murat was Baron Frimont.
The army was originally intended to invade southern France after Napoleon's return, but now had to be diverted to face the approaching Neapolitan army.
Meanwhile, on the same day that Murat gave the Rimini Proclamation, the Austrian advance guard under the command of General Bianchi was beaten back at an engagement near Cesena.
Bianchi retreated towards Modena and took up a defensive line behind the River Panaro, allowing Murat to take Bologna on 3 April.
Following the battle, the division under the command of General Carrascosa immediately occupied Modena, Carpi and Reggio Emilia, whilst Murat moved against Ferrara.
However, the garrison in Ferrara withstood the best efforts of the Neapolitans to take the citadel, tying up a large number of Neapolitan troops in a costly siege.
Murat had received little reinforcement from the Italian populace up to this point but he hoped he would find more support north of the Po River, which was under direct Austrian rule.
The region had once been part of the Kingdom of Italy, a French client republic, and it had been reported that about 40,000 men, mostly veterans of Napoleon's campaigns, were ready to join Murat once he arrived in Milan.
Meanwhile, the two Guard Divisions Murat had sent into the Papal States had passed unmolested into Tuscany and by 8 April had occupied Florence, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
The Grand Duke fled to Pisa, whilst the Austrian garrison in Florence under the command of General Nugent was forced to retreat to Pistoia, with the Neapolitan army in pursuit.
But with reinforcements arriving from the north, and his army in a strong defensive position, Nugent was able to turn and halt the Neapolitan pursuit.
Murat's attempts to cross the River Po proved unsuccessful and after two days of heavy fighting, the Neapolitans fell back after suffering over 2,000 casualties.
He ordered a corps under the command of Bianchi to advance on Carpi, which was guarded by a brigade under the command of Guglielmo Pepe.
However, Carrascosa, who was in command of the Neapolitan troops around Modena, saw the Austrian trap and ordered a retreat to a defensive line behind the Panaro where he was joined by the remainder of his division, which had been evacuated from Reggio Emilia and Modena.
By 15 April, the Austrians had retaken Florence and when the news reached Murat, he ordered a general retreat of his main force back to their original headquarters in Ancona.
With the road to Florence now clear and the Italian peninsula opening up in front of him, Frimont ordered two corps south to deal with Murat once and for all.
Bianchi's corps was ordered to march towards Foligno via Florence in an attempt to threaten the rear of the Neapolitans and to cut off their line of direct retreat, whilst Neipperg's corps was sent into direct pursuit of Murat as he retired to Ancona.
With the war turning in Austria's favour, Frimont was ordered back to Lombardy to oversee the army that was now amassing in preparation for an invasion of France.
A large portion of the Austrian force was also recalled, leaving only three Austrian corps totalling around 35,000 men in Italy.
Murat, who placed too much faith in his Guard Divisions and believing they would be able to halt the advance of Bianchi and Nugent, retreated slowly, even turning to check the pursuit at the Ronco and Savio rivers.
Murat hurried his retreat and by late April, his main force had arrived safely in Ancona, where he was reunited with his two Guard Divisions.
Arriving in Florence on 20 April, they had reached their target of Foligno by 26 April and now threatened Murat's line of retreat.
Neipperg's corps was still in pursuit and by 29 April, his advanced guard had arrived in Fano, just two days' march away.
Much like Napoleon's tactics before Waterloo, Murat sent a division under Carrascosa north to stall Neipperg whilst his main force headed west to face Bianchi.
Murat originally planned to face Bianchi near the town of Tolentino, but on 29 April, Bianchi's advance guard succeeded in driving out the small Neapolitan garrison there.
After two days of inconclusive fighting, Murat learned that Neipperg had outmanoeuvred and defeated Carrascosa at the Battle of Scapezzano and was approaching.
The battle had severely damaged the morale of the Neapolitan troops and many senior officers had been casualties in the battle.
On 5 May, a joint Anglo-Austrian fleet began a blockade of Ancona, eventually taking the entire garrison of the city as prisoners.
By 12 May, Bianchi, who was now in command of both his and Neipperg's corps, had taken the town of L'Aquila along with its castle.
Here, Murat attempted to check Nugent's advance but with the main Austrian force under Bianchi in pursuit, Murat was forced to call off the action on 16 May.
Murat was forced to flee to Corsica and later Cannes disguised as a sailor on a Danish ship, after a British fleet blockading Naples destroyed all the Neapolitan gunboats in the harbour.
On 20 May, Neapolitan Generals Pepe and Carrascosa sued for peace and concluded the Treaty of Casalanza with the Austrians, bringing the war to an end.
Five days after he landed at Pizzo, he was executed in the town's castle, exhorting the firing squad to spare his face.
Shortly after the end of the war, the Kingdoms of Naples and Sicily were finally united to create the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
Although the two kingdoms had been ruled by the same king since 1735, the formal union did not happen until 1816.
Although Murat failed to save his crown, or to start a popular nationalist movement with the Rimini Proclamation, Murat had ignited a debate for Italian unification.
The intervention of Austria only heightened the fact the Habsburgs were the single most powerful opponent to unification, which would eventually lead to three wars of independence against the Austrians.
Poisoning results in nausea, stomach cramps, and diarrhea, while severe poisoning can result in convulsions, jaundice, or even coma or death.
Experts speculated the reaction was more of an allergic one specific to the consumer, or a misidentification, rather than innate toxicity of the fungus, due to the wide range in effects seen.
Some would suffer severely or perish while others exhibited no symptoms after eating similar amounts of mushrooms from the same dish.
In 1885, Böhm and Külz described helvellic acid, an oily substance they believed to be responsible for the toxicity of the fungus.
These other compounds would also produce monomethylhydrazine when hydrolyzed, although it remains unclear how much each contributes to the false morel's toxicity.
This reduces production of the neurotransmitter GABA via decreased activity of glutamic acid decarboxylase, which gives rise to the neurological symptoms.
Based on this conversion, the LD of MMH in humans has been estimated to be 1.6–4.8 mg/kg in children, and 4.8–8 mg/kg in adults.
The gyromitrin content in false morels has been reported to be in the range of 40–732 milligrams of gyromitrin per kilogram of mushrooms (wet weight).
Gyromitrin is volatile and water soluble, and can be mostly removed from the mushrooms by cutting them to small pieces and repeatedly boiling them in copious amounts of water under good ventilation.
The early methods developed for the determination of gyromitrin concentration in mushroom tissue were based on thin-layer chromatography and spectrofluorometry, or the electrochemical oxidation of hydrazine.
A 2006 study reported an analytical method based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with detection levels at the parts per billion level.
The method, which involves acid hydrolysis of gyromitrin followed by derivatization with pentafluorobenzoyl chloride, has a minimum detectable concentration equivalent to 0.3 microgram of gyromitrin per gram of dry matter.
Symptoms occur within 6–12 hours of consumption, although cases of more severe poisoning may present sooner—as little as 2 hours after ingestion.
Dizziness, lethargy, vertigo, tremor, ataxia, nystagmus, and headaches develop soon after; fever often occurs, a distinctive feature which does not develop after poisoning by other types of mushrooms.
In most cases of poisoning, symptoms do not progress from these initial symptoms, and patients recover after 2–6 days of illness.
In some cases there may be an asymptomatic phase following the initial symptoms which is then followed by more significant toxicity including kidney damage, liver damage, and neurological dysfunction including seizures and coma.
The patient develops jaundice and the liver and spleen become enlarged, in some cases blood sugar levels will rise (hyperglycemia) and then fall (hypoglycemia) and liver toxicity is seen.
Additionally, intravascular hemolysis causes destruction of red blood cells resulting in increases in free hemoglobin and hemoglobinuria, which can lead to kidney toxicity or kidney failure.
This is where higher than normal levels of methemoglobin—a form of hemoglobin that can not carry oxygen—are found in the blood.
Cases of severe poisoning may progress to a terminal neurological phase, with delirium, muscle fasciculations and seizures, and mydriasis progressing to coma, circulatory collapse, and respiratory arrest.
Treatment is mainly supportive; gastric decontamination with activated charcoal may be beneficial if medical attention is sought within a few hours of consumption.
However, symptoms often take longer than this to develop, and patients do not usually present for treatment until many hours after ingestion, thus limiting its effectiveness.
Monitoring of biochemical parameters such as methemoglobin levels, electrolytes, liver and kidney function, urinalysis, and complete blood count is undertaken and any abnormalities are corrected.
Hemolysis may require a blood transfusion to replace the lost red blood cells, while methemoglobinemia is treated with intravenous methylene blue.
Pyridoxine, also known as vitamin B, can be used to counteract the inhibition by MMH on the pyridoxine-dependent step in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter GABA.
Pyridoxine, which is only useful for the neurological symptoms and does not decrease hepatic toxicity, is given at a dose of 25 mg/kg; this can be repeated up to a maximum total of 15 to 30 g daily if symptoms do not improve.
Additionally MMH inhibits the chemical transformation of folic acid into its active form, folinic acid, this can be treated by folinic acid given at 20–200 mg daily.
Legislation concerning local government in England is decided by the Parliament and Government of the United Kingdom, because England does not have a devolved parliament or regional assemblies, outside Greater London.
Combined authorities were introduced in England outside Greater London by the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 to cover areas larger than the existing local authorities but smaller than the regions.
Combined authorities are created voluntarily and allow a group of local authorities to pool appropriate responsibility and receive certain delegated functions from central government in order to deliver transport and economic policy more effectively over a wider area.
There are currently 10 such authorities, with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority established on 1 April 2011, Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and three others in April 2014, two in 2016, two in 2017 and one in 2018.
In some areas there is a county council responsible for services such as education, waste management and strategic planning within a county, with several non-metropolitan district councils responsible for services such as housing, waste collection and local planning.
There are in total 343 principal councils, including the Corporation of London and the Council of the Isles of Scilly, but not the Inner Temple and Middle Temple, the last two of which are also local authorities for some purposes.
Councils such as districts, counties and unitaries are known as principal local authorities in order to differentiate them in their legal status from parish and town councils, which are not uniform in their existence.
In some districts, the rural area is parished and the urban is not — such as the Borough of Hinckley and Bosworth, where the town of Hinckley is unparished and has no local councils, while the countryside around the town is parished.
In others, there is a more complex mixture, as in the case of the Borough of Kettering, where the small towns of Burton Latimer, Desborough and Rothwell are parished, while Kettering town itself is not.
In addition, among the rural parishes, two share a joint parish council and two have no council but are governed by an annual parish meeting.
The current arrangement of local government in England is the result of a range of incremental measures which have their origins in the municipal reform of the 19th century.
During the 20th century, the structure of local government was reformed and rationalised, with local government areas becoming fewer and larger, and the functions of local councils amended.
The chairman of the council itself has authority to conduct the business of meetings of the full council, including the selection of the agenda, but otherwise the chairmanship is considered an honorary position with no real power outside the council meeting.
In certain cities the mayor is known as the Lord Mayor; this is an honour which must be granted by Letters Patent from the Crown.
Boroughs are in many cases descendants of municipal boroughs set up hundreds of years ago, and so have a number of traditions and ceremonial functions attached to the mayor's office.
Where a council would have both civic mayor, namely the chairman of the council, and an executive mayor, it has become usual for the chairman to take the simple title 'Chairman' or 'Chair'.
Leaders typically chair several important committees, and receive a higher allowance to reflect their additional responsibilities, but they have no special, legal authority.
Under section 15 the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, committees must roughly reflect the political party makeup of the council; before it was permitted for a party with control of the council to 'pack' committees with their own members.
This pattern was based on that established for municipal boroughs by the Municipal Corporations Act 1835, and then later adopted for county councils and rural districts.
In 2000, Parliament passed the Local Government Act 2000 requiring councils to move to an executive-based system, either with the council leader and a cabinet acting as an executive authority, or with a directly elected mayor — with either having a cabinet drawn from the councillors — or a mayor and council manager.
There was a small exception to this whereby smaller district councils (population of less than 85,000) can adopt a modified committee system.
Most councils used the council leader and cabinet option, while 52 smaller councils were allowed to propose alternative arrangements based on the older system (Section 31 of the Act), and Brighton and Hove invoked a similar provision (Section 27(2)(b)) when a referendum to move to a directly elected mayor was defeated.
Several of the mayors originally elected were independents (notably in Tower Hamlets and Middlesbrough, which in parliamentary elections are usually Labour Party strongholds).
Since May 2002, only a handful of referendums have been held, and they have mostly been negative, with only a few exceptions.
In a related development, the Health and Social Care Act 2001, Police and Justice Act 2006, and 2006 local government white paper set out a role for local government Overview and Scrutiny in creating greater local accountability for a range of public-sector organisations.
Committee system councils have no direct 'scrutiny' role, with the decisions being scrutinised as they are taken by the committee, and potentially referred to full council for review.
There is no requirement for the size of wards to be the same within a district, so one ward can return one member and another ward can return two.
Metropolitan borough wards must return a multiple of three councillors, while until the Local Government Act 2003 multiple-member county electoral divisions were forbidden.
There is no element of proportional representation, so if four candidates from the Mauve Party poll 2,000 votes each, and four candidates from the Taupe Party poll 1,750 votes each, all four Mauve candidates will be returned, and no Taupe candidates will.
Councils may be elected wholly, every four years, or 'by thirds', where a third of the councillors get elected each year, with one year with no elections.
Sometimes wholesale boundary revisions will mean the entire council will be re-elected, before returning to the previous elections by thirds or by halves over the coming years.
Councillors cannot do the work of the council themselves, and so are responsible for appointment and oversight of officers, who are delegated to perform most tasks.
Local authorities nowadays may appoint a 'Chief Executive Officer', with overall responsibility for council employees, and who operates in conjunction with department heads.
Church Action on Poverty surveyed over 150 local authority run schemes and found just under a quarter had closed since 2013 and another quarter cut spending by 85% or more.
Ending local welfare would make tens of thousands of vulnerable people increasingly at risk of hunger, debt and destitution according to Church Action on Poverty.
Local welfare was devised to help poor people manage unexpected hardship, like lack of money due to benefit payment problems, or issues like broken boilers, house fires and flooding.
Local councils are funded by a combination of central government grants, Council Tax (a locally set tax based on house value), Business Rates, and fees and charges from certain services including decriminalised parking enforcement.
The New Local Government Network maintains most local authorities will only be able to provide the bare minimum of services five years from 2018.
The other main central government grant - the Revenue Support Grant - is not hypothecated, and can be spent as the council wishes.
Since 2013, a varyingly sized chunk of Business Rates is retained locally, and only the remainder is pooled and redistributed; the redistribution is according to a very basic formula, based mainly on the size of the 2013 Formula Grant to the relevant council, and is now provided to the council independently of the Revenue Support Grant.
Councils can raise the level of council tax as they wish, but must hold a local referendum on the matter, if they wish to raise it above a certain threshold set by central government, currently 3%.
Precepting authorities do not collect Council Tax directly, but instruct a billing authority to do it on their behalf by setting a precept.
The precept shows up as an independent element on official information sent to council tax payers, but the council bill will cover the combined amount (the precepts plus the core council tax).
Levying bodies are similar to precepting authorities, but instead of imposing a charge on billing authorities, the amount to be deducted is decided by negotiation.
A portion of the RSG money paid to each authority is diverted to fund organisations that provide improvement and research services to local government (this is referred to as the RSG top-slice), for example the Local Government Association.
The most populous district in England is Birmingham (a metropolitan borough) with 1,073,045 people (2011 census), and the least populous non-metropolitan unitary area is Rutland with 37,369.
Revisions are usually undertaken to avoid borders straddling new development, to bring them back into line with a diverted watercourse, or to align them with roads or other features.
Confusingly, such districts sometimes have city status, and so, for example, the City of Canterbury contains several towns apart from Canterbury, which have distinct identities.
Similarly, the City of Winchester contains a number of large villages and extensive countryside, which is quite distinct from the main settlement of Winchester.
They can be named after historic subdivisions (Broxtowe, Spelthorne), rivers (Eden, Arun), a modified or alternative version of their main town's name (Harborough, Wycombe), a combination of main town and geographical feature (Newark and Sherwood) or after a geographical feature in the district (Cotswold, Cannock Chase).
In a handful of cases entirely new names have been devised, examples being Castle Point, Thamesdown (subsequently renamed as Swindon) and Wychavon.
Councils have a general power to change the name of the district, and consequently their own name, under section 74 of the Local Government Act 1972.
Greater London is further divided into 32 London boroughs, each governed by a London borough council, and the City of London, which is governed by the City of London Corporation.
In the London boroughs the legal entity is not the council as elsewhere but the inhabitants incorporated as a legal entity by royal charter (a process abolished elsewhere in England and Wales under the Local Government Act 1972).
Joint boards are not directly elected but are made up of councillors appointed from the authorities which are covered by the service.
Typically, joint boards are created to avoid splitting up certain services when unitary authorities are created, or a county or regional council is abolished.
In other cases, if several authorities are considered too small (in terms of either geographic size or population) to run a service effectively by themselves, joint boards are established.
In several areas a joint police force is used which covers several counties: for example, the Thames Valley Police (in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire) and the West Mercia Police (in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, Herefordshire and Worcestershire).
In the six metropolitan counties, the metropolitan borough councils also appoint members to joint county-wide passenger transport authorities to oversee public transport, and joint waste disposal authorities, which were created after the county councils were abolished.
Joint boards were used extensively in Greater London when the Greater London Council was abolished, to avoid splitting up some London-wide services.
The business vote was abolished for other parts of the country in 1969, but due to the low resident population of the City this was thought impractical.
The White Paper did not deal with the issues of local government funding or of reform or replacement of the Council Tax, which was awaiting the final report of the Lyons Review.
It proposed to reduce the level of central government oversight over local authorities by removing centrally set performance targets, and statutory controls of the Secretary of State over parish councils, by-laws, and electoral arrangements.
The white paper proposed that the existing prohibition on parish councils in Greater London would be abolished, and making new parishes easier to set up.
The reforms strengthen the council executives, and provided an option between a directly elected mayor, a directly elected executive, or an indirectly elected leader – all with a fixed four-year term.
It has however created the Greater Manchester Combined Authority and signalled intent, under the 'City Deals' process promoted under the Localism Act, to create further combined authorities for the North East, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire as nascent city regions.
The Local authority leaders' boards also had their funding cut in 2011, though continue as unelected consultative forums and as regional groupings for the Local Government Association.
Further consolidation of local government through the formation of unitary authorities in existing two-tier areas have been proposed under the premiership of Theresa May.
One of the authorities would consist of the existing unitary authorities of Bournemouth, Poole and the non-metropolitan district of Christchurch, the other would be composed of the remainder of the county.
Statutory instruments for the creation of two unitary authorities, to be named Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council and Dorset Council, have been made and shadow authorities for the new council areas have been formed.
One plan would have seen the abolition of the four district councils resulting in the existing county council becoming a unitary authority.
The other plan would have seen the formation of two unitary authorities: one authority would be formed through the merger of the three existing districts of Chiltern, South Bucks and Wycombe, with the other formed by the existing Aylesbury Vale district becoming a unitary authority.
In March 2018, then Communities Secretary Sajid Javid indicated that the single unitary authority option would be pursued over the two unitary authority model.
The new unitary council will be established in 2020, and the district councils will be asked whether they wish to have their scheduled 2019 elections cancelled.
In March 2018, an independent report commissioned by the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, proposed structural changes to local government in Northamptonshire.
These changes would see the existing county council and district councils abolished and two new unitary authorities created in their place.
One authority would consist of the existing districts of Daventry, Northampton and South Northamptonshire and the other authority would consist of Corby, East Northamptonshire, Kettering and Wellingborough districts.
The GSD was the governing party in Gibraltar for four successive terms in office under the leadership of Peter Caruana from the 1996 general election until the party's electoral defeat in the 2011 election by the GSLP–Liberal Alliance.
As a result, 60.6% of the votes (from executives and members of the party) had gone to support rejoined GSD member, Keith Azopardi, who was a minister and Deputy Chief Minister under the first few years of Peter Caruana's run as Chief Minister.
The party emerged, after the collapse of the Association for the Advancement of Civil Rights, as the main opposition to the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party (GSLP).
The merger was unpopular with many members of both parties, causing some high-profile GSD members to resign their membership, including deputy leader Keith Azopardi and executive member Nick Cruz, who went on to form the short-lived Progressive Democratic Party.
In January 2013, Peter Caruana (who was the then Leader of the Opposition), announced he was stepping down as leader and taking up a backbench position until his 4-year term was over.
The party supports the current constitutional status of Gibraltar as an autonomous British overseas territory and is opposed to any proposal of joint British–Spanish sovereignty.
The GSD has traditionally been less hostile in its attitude to Spain than its main rival, the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party.
In the 1991 by-election to the Gibraltar House of Assembly, following the resignation of GSD Leader Peter Montegriffo, Peter Caruana was elected party leader and won 61.81% of the popular vote to fill in the vacant seat.
In the 2007 election to the newly named (and reorganised) Gibraltar Parliament, the party won 49.33% of the popular vote and 10 seats.
In the 2011 election, the party won 46.76% of the popular vote and 7 seats, unable to secure a fifth term.
Gibraltar is part of the South West England constituency in the European parliament and its major parties form joint ticket alliances with the major UK parties.
On graduating with a 2.1, Appleton left the UK for Poland, where he took to writing poetry and helped to edit a children's anthology, as well as teaching at the University of Gdansk.
Since 2004, he has also drawn inspiration from outside the Buddhist world, working with ayahuasca at the Spirit Vine Ayahuasca Retreat Center in Brazil.
In 2014, he completed an MA in Advanced psychotherapy at the Minster Centre in London and he now practises as a psychotherapist in Brighton.
In 2000, he converted to Buddhism, and teaches meditation in retreats and classes across the UK – notably, on the Holy Island, his spiritual home.
In line with most liberal parties, the party describes their political philosophy as being based on notions of people deciding their own future, and are committed to Gibraltarian self-determination regarding constitutional arrangements.
In the 1992 election to the Gibraltar House of Assembly, the party (as the GNP) won 4.7%% of the popular vote and no seats.
In the 1999 by-election, following the death of GSLP Opposition MP Robert Mor, Liberal Party leader Dr. Joseph Garcia won 51.46% of the popular vote and the seat.
In the 2007 election to the newly named (and re-organized) Gibraltar Parliament, the party won (in alliance with the GSLP) 13.65% of the popular vote and 3 seats.
In the 2011 election, the party won (in alliance with the GSLP) 14.64% of the popular vote and 3 seats forming the new Government of Gibraltar.
In the 2013 by-election, following the death of Housing Minister Charles Bruzon (GSLP), the Liberal Party backed the GSLP candidate Albert Isola, who has won 49.84% of the popular vote to fill in the vacant seat.
Gibraltar is part of the South West England constituency in the European parliament and its major parties form joint ticket alliances with the major UK parties.
The Liberal Party of Gibraltar is a member of the Liberal International and the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, having joined the latter in November 2014.
It is also a 'Sister Party' of the United Kingdom Liberal Democrats and contests the South-West England constituency at European Parliamentary elections on a joint ticket with them taking place six on the party list.
It was released in September 1976 on United Artists Records in the U.S., and on 19 November 1976 on Jet Records in the United Kingdom.
It became a global success and reached multi-platinum status in the US and UK, The album sold five million units worldwide within its first year of release.
Nonverbal communication is the transmission of messages or signals through a nonverbal platform such as eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, posture, and the distance between two individuals.
This form of communication is characterized by multiple channels and scholars argue that nonverbal communication can convey more meaning than verbal communication.
Ray Birdwhistell concludes that nonverbal communication accounts for 60–70 percent of human communication, although according to other researchers the communication type is not quantifiable or does not reflect modern human communication, especially when people rely so much on written means.
Charles Darwin started to study nonverbal communication as he noticed the interactions between animals and realized they also communicated by gestures and expressions.
It includes the use of visual cues such as body language (kinesics), distance (proxemics) and physical environments/appearance, of voice (paralanguage) and of touch (haptics).
It can also include the use of time (chronemics) and eye contact and the actions of looking while talking and listening, frequency of glances, patterns of fixation, pupil dilation, and blink rate (oculesics).
Just as speech contains nonverbal elements known as paralanguage, including voice quality, rate, pitch, loudness, and speaking style, as well as prosodic features such as rhythm, intonation, and stress, so written texts have nonverbal elements such as handwriting style, spatial arrangement of words, or the physical layout of a page.
However, much of the study of nonverbal communication has focused on interaction between individuals, where it can be classified into three principal areas: environmental conditions where communication takes place, physical characteristics of the communicators, and behaviors of communicators during interaction.
The Nonverbal encoding sequence includes facial expressions, gestures, posture, tone of voice, tactile stimulation such as touch, and body movements, like when someone moves closer to communicate or steps away due to spatial boundaries.
The Decoding processes involves the use of received sensations combined with previous experience with understanding the meaning of communications with others.
Culture plays an important role in nonverbal communication, and it is one aspect that helps to influence how learning activities are organized.
In many Indigenous American Communities, for example, there is often an emphasis on nonverbal communication, which acts as a valued means by which children learn.
In this sense, learning is not dependent on verbal communication; rather, it is nonverbal communication which serves as a primary means of not only organizing interpersonal interactions, but also conveying cultural values, and children learn how to participate in this system from a young age.
Nonverbal communication strengthens a first impression in common situations like attracting a partner or in a business interview: impressions are on average formed within the first four seconds of contact.
When the other person or group is absorbing the message, they are focused on the entire environment around them, meaning the other person uses all five senses in the interaction: 83% sight, 11% hearing, 3% smell, 2% touch and 1% taste.
Darwin attributed these facial expressions to serviceable associated habits, which are behaviors that earlier in our evolutionary history had specific and direct functions.
For example, a species that attacked by biting, baring the teeth was a necessary act before an assault and wrinkling the nose reduced the inhalation of foul odors.
In response to the question asking why facial expressions persist even when they no longer serve their original purposes, Darwin's predecessors have developed a highly valued explanation.
Despite the introduction of nonverbal communication in the 1800s, the emergence of behaviorism in the 1920s paused further research on nonverbal communication.
Behaviorists such as B.F. Skinner trained pigeons to engage in various behaviors to demonstrate how animals engage in behaviors with rewards.
While most psychology researchers were exploring behaviorism, the study of nonverbal communication began in 1955 by Adam Kendon, Albert Scheflen, and Ray Birdwhistell.
This method was later used in studying the sequence and structure of human greetings, social behaviors at parties, and the function of posture during interpersonal interaction.
Robert Rosenthal discovered that expectations made by teachers and researchers can influence their outcomes, and that subtle, nonverbal cues may play an important role in this process.
In 1970, Argyle hypothesized that although spoken language is used for communicating the meaning about events external to the person communicating, the nonverbal codes are used to create and strengthen interpersonal relationships.
When someone wishes to avoid conflicting or embarrassing events during communication, it is considered proper and correct by the hypothesis to communicate attitudes towards others non-verbally instead of verbally.
Along with this philosophy, Michael Argyle also found and concluded in 1988 that there are five main functions of nonverbal body behavior and gestures in human communications: self-presentation of one's whole personality, rituals and cultural greetings, expressing interpersonal attitudes, expressing emotions, and to accompany speech in managing the cues set in the interactions between the speaker and the listener.
Posture is a nonverbal cue that is associated with positioning and that these two are used as sources of information about individual's characteristics, attitudes, and feelings about themselves and other people.
There are many different types of body positioning to portray certain postures, including slouching, towering, legs spread, jaw thrust, shoulders forward, and arm crossing.
It can also be effectively used as a way for an individual to convey a desire to increase, limit, or avoid interaction with another person.
Studies investigating the impact of posture on interpersonal relationships suggest that mirror-image congruent postures, where one person's left side is parallel to the other person's right side, leads to favorable perception of communicators and positive speech; a person who displays a forward lean or decreases a backward lean also signifies positive sentiment during communication.
This can be demonstrated in the case of relaxed posture when an individual is within a nonthreatening situation and the way one's body tightens or become rigid when under stress.
The types of clothing that an individual wears convey nonverbal cues about his or her personality, background and financial status, and how others will respond to them.
Similarly, clothing can communicate what nationality a person or group is; for example, in traditional festivities Scottish men often wear kilts to specify their culture.
In this case, clothing is used as a form of self-expression in which people can flaunt their power, wealth, sex appeal, or creativity.
A study of the clothing worn by women attending discothèques, carried out in Vienna, Austria, showed that in certain groups of women (especially women who were without their partners), motivation for sex and levels of sexual hormones were correlated with aspects of their clothing, especially the amount of skin displayed and the presence of sheer clothing.
In fact, there was a study done at the University of North Carolina, which compared the way undergraduate women chose to dress and their personality types.
Gestures may be made with the hands, arms or body, and also include movements of the head, face and eyes, such as winking, nodding, or rolling one's eyes.
Speech-related gestures are used in parallel with verbal speech; this form of nonverbal communication is used to emphasize the message that is being communicated.
With all the various muscles that precisely control mouth, lips, eyes, nose, forehead, and jaw, human faces are estimated to be capable of more than ten thousand different expressions.
Negative emotions usually manifest as increased tension in various muscle groups: tightening of jaw muscles, furrowing of forehead, squinting eyes, or lip occlusion (when the lips seemingly disappear).
In contrast, positive emotions are revealed by the loosening of the furrowed lines on the forehead, relaxation of the muscles around the mouth, and widening of the eye area.
When individuals are truly relaxed and at ease, the head will also tilt to the side, exposing our most vulnerable area, the neck.
Though they do accompany speech, conversational gestures are not seen in the absence of speech and are only made by the person who is speaking.
According to Edward T. Hall, the amount of space we maintain between ourselves and the persons with whom we are communicating shows the importance of the science of proxemics.
Within American culture Hall defines four primary distance zones: (i) intimate (touching to eighteen inches) distance, (ii) personal (eighteen inches to four feet) distance, (iii) social (four to twelve feet) distance, and (iv) public (more than twelve feet) distance.
Eye contact is the instance when two people look at each other's eyes at the same time; it is the primary nonverbal way of indicating engagement, interest, attention and involvement.
The length of a gaze, the frequency of glances, patterns of fixation, pupil dilation, and blink rate are all important cues in nonverbal communication.
It is typical for people who are detecting lies to rely consistently on verbal cues but this can hinder how well they detect deception.
Those who are lying and those who are telling the truth possess different forms of nonverbal and verbal cues and this is important to keep in mind.
In addition, it is important to note that understanding the cultural background of a person will influence how easily deception is detectable because nonverbal cues may differ depending on the culture.
In addition to eye contact these nonverbal cues can consist of physiological aspects including pulse rate as well as levels of perspiration.
The more clues that were available to those watching, the larger was the trend that interviewees who actually lied were judged to be truthful.
That is, people that are clever at lying can use tone of voice and facial expressions to give the impression that they are truthful.
In an attempt to be more convincing, liars deliberately made more eye contact with interviewers than those that were telling the truth.
However, there are many cited examples of cues to deceit, delivered via nonverbal (paraverbal and visual) communication channels, through which deceivers supposedly unwittingly provide clues to their concealed knowledge or actual opinions.
Vrij, 2008), although a recent study also demonstrated bodily movement differences between truth-tellers and liars using an automated body motion capture system.
Chronemics, how people handle time, can be categorized in two ways: polychronic which is when people do many activities at once and is common in Italy and Spain, or monochronic which is when people do one thing at a time which is common in America.
Because nonverbal communication can vary across many axes—gestures, gaze, clothing, posture, direction, or even environmental cues like lighting—there is a lot of room for cultural differences.
In Japan, a country which prides itself on the best customer service, workers tend to use wide arm gestures to give clear directions to strangers—accompanied by the ever-present bow to indicate respect.
In Western countries, it can be seen as mockery, but in Polynesia it serves as a greeting and a sign of reverence.
There are many ways of waving goodbye: Americans face the palm outward and move the hand side to side, Italians face the palm inward and move the fingers facing the other person, French and Germans face the hand horizontal and move the fingers toward the person leaving.
For people in Westernized countries, laughter is a sign of amusement, but in some parts of Africa it is a sign of wonder or embarrassment.
The Yoruba (Nigeria) have taught their children to follow certain nonverbal commands, such as winking, which tells them it's time to leave the room.
The author states that nonverbal communication is very important to be aware of, especially if comparing gestures, gaze, and tone of voice amongst different cultures.
As Latin American cultures embrace big speech gestures, Middle Eastern cultures are relatively more modest in public and are not expressive.
In Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern, and Native American cultures, eye contact is thought to be disrespectful or rude, and lack of eye contact does not mean that a person is not paying attention.
In Latin America and the Middle East the acceptable distance is much shorter than what most Europeans and Americans feel comfortable with.
This is why an American or a European might wonder why the other person is invading his or her personal space by standing so close, while the other person might wonder why the American/European is standing so far from him or her.
In addition, for Latin Americans, the French, Italians, and Arabs the distance between people is much closer than the distance for Americans; in general for these close distance groups, 1 foot of distance is for lovers, 1.5–4 feet of distance is for family and friends, and 4–12 feet is for strangers.
Nonverbal communication is pivotal for collaborative participation in shared activities, as children from indigenous American communities will learn how to interact using nonverbal communication by intently observing adults.
Culture plays an important role in nonverbal communication, and it is one aspect that helps to influence how learning activities are organized.
In many Indigenous American Communities, for example, there is often an emphasis on nonverbal communication, which acts as a valued means by which children learn.
A key characteristic of this type of nonverbal learning is that children have the opportunity to observe and interact with all parts of an activity.
Many Indigenous American children are in close contact with adults and other children who are performing the activities that they will eventually master.
For example, the direct involvement that Mazahua children take in the marketplace is used as a type of interactional organization for learning without explicit verbal instruction.
Children learn how to run a market stall, take part in caregiving, and also learn other basic responsibilities through non-structured activities, cooperating voluntarily within a motivational context to participate.
Not explicitly instructing or guiding the children teaches them how to integrate into small coordinated groups to solve a problem through consensus and shared space.
These Mazahua separate-but-together practices have shown that participation in everyday interaction and later learning activities establishes enculturation that is rooted in nonverbal social experience.
In some Indigenous communities of the Americas, children reported one of their main reasons for working in their home was to build unity within the family, the same way they desire to build solidarity within their own communities.
Evidence of this can be observed in a case study where children are guided through the task of folding a paper figure by observing the posture and gaze of those who guide them through it.
The idea that many children in Indigenous American Communities are closely involved in community endeavors, both spatially and relationally, which help to promote nonverbal communication, given that words are not always necessary.
When children are closely related to the context of the endeavor as active participants, coordination is based on a shared reference, which helps to allow, maintain, and promote nonverbal communication.
Nonverbal cues are used by most children in the Warm Springs Indian Reservation community within the parameters of their academic learning environments.
This includes referencing Native American religion through stylized hand gestures in colloquial communication, verbal and nonverbal emotional self-containment, and less movement of the lower face to structure attention on the eyes during face-to-face engagement.
Therefore, children's approach to social situations within a reservation classroom, for example, may act as a barrier to a predominantly verbal learning environment.
Most Warm Springs children benefit from a learning model that suits a nonverbal communicative structure of collaboration, traditional gesture, observational learning and shared references.
It is important to note that while nonverbal communication is more prevalent in Indigenous American Communities, verbal communication is also used.
Preferably, verbal communication does not substitute one's involvement in an activity, but instead acts as additional guidance or support towards the completion of an activity.
People who have studied in mainly nonverbal communication may not be skilled as a verbal speaker, so much of what they are portraying is through gestures and facial expressions which can lead to major cultural barriers if they have conflict with diverse cultures already.
From birth, children in various cultures are taught the gestures and cues their culture defines as universal which is not the case for others, but some movements are universal.
Along with gestures, phenotypic traits can also convey certain messages in nonverbal communication, for instance, eye color, hair color and height.
Melamed and Bozionelos (1992) studied a sample of managers in the United Kingdom and found that height was a key factor in who was promoted.
Kinesics is the area of nonverbal communication related to movements of the body, including gestures, posture, and facial expressions, and the study of that area.
The word was first coined by Ray Birdwhistell, who considered the term body language inaccurate and improper to use as a definition.
Kinesic communication differs from culture to culture, depending on how much contact each culture contains (high or low contact) and what has been established by long held traditions and values related to nonverbal communication.
American looks are short enough just to see if there is recognition of the other person, Arabs look at each other in the eye intensely, and many Africans avert the gaze as a sign of respect to superiors.
There are also many postures for people in the Congo; they stretch their hands and put them together in the direction of the other person.
Haptics is the study of touching as nonverbal communication, and haptic communication refers to how people and other animals communicate via touching.
Touches among humans that can be defined as communication include handshakes, holding hands, kissing (cheek, lips, hand), back slapping, high fives, a pat on the shoulder, and brushing an arm.
The meaning conveyed from touch is highly dependent upon the culture, the context of the situation, the relationship between communicators, and the manner of touch.
Touch is an extremely important sense for humans; as well as providing information about surfaces and textures it is a component of nonverbal communication in interpersonal relationships, and vital in conveying physical intimacy.
Human babies have been observed to have enormous difficulty surviving if they do not possess a sense of touch, even if they retain sight and hearing.
Touching is treated differently from one country to another and socially acceptable levels of touching vary from one culture to another (Remland, 2009).
Remland and Jones (1995) studied groups of people communicating and found that touching was rare among the English (8%), the French (5%) and the Dutch (4%) compared to Italians (14%) and Greeks (12.5%).
Proxemics is defined as how far or near you position yourself from others and can be influenced by culture, race, gender, and age.
Hall introduced the idea of culture affecting spatial distance for example: In high contact cultures people are generally more comfortable in a closer proximity as individuals in low contact cultures fell more comfortable with a greater amount of personal space.
Hall concluded that proxemics could cause misunderstandings between cultures as cultures use of proxemics varies and what is customary in one culture may be offensive to another.
Intimate space is any distance less ten 18 inches and is most commonly used by individuals when they are engaging with someone they feel very comfortable with; such as, a spouse, child, or parent.
Personal space is a distance of 18 inches to 4 feet and is usually used when individuals are interacting with friends.
Social distance is the most common type of proximity as it is used when communicating with colleagues, classmates, acquaintances, or strangers.
Public distance creates the greatest gap between the individual and the audience and is categorized as distances greater than 12 feet in distance and is often used for speeches, lectures, or formal occasions.
Other studies done on the same subject have concluded that in more relaxed and natural settings of communication, verbal and non-verbal signals and cues can contribute in surprisingly similar ways.
The most important effect was that body posture communicated superior status (specific to culture and context said person grew up in) in a very efficient way.
had subjects judge a person on the dimension happy/sad and found that words spoken with minimal variation in intonation had an impact about 4 times larger than face expressions seen in a film without sound.
Therefore, when considering certain non-verbal mannerisms such as facial expressions and physical cues, they can conflict in meaning when compared to spoken language and emotions.
If we become more mindful and present to how our body is moving, then we can better control our external nonverbal communication, which results in more effective communication.
A person verbally expressing a statement of truth while simultaneously fidgeting or avoiding eye contact may convey a mixed message to the receiver in the interaction.
When mixed messages occur, nonverbal communication becomes the primary tool people use to attain additional information to clarify the situation; great attention is placed on bodily movements and positioning when people perceive mixed messages during interactions.
They are (1) structure versus non-structure, (2) linguistic versus non-linguistic, (3) continuous versus discontinuous, (4) learned versus innate, and (5) left versus right hemispheric processing.
Nonverbal cues can be used to elaborate on verbal messages to reinforce the information sent when trying to achieve communicative goals; messages have been shown to be remembered better when nonverbal signals affirm the verbal exchange.
Nonverbal signals can be used without verbal communication to convey messages; when nonverbal behavior does not effectively communicate a message, verbal methods are used to enhance understanding.
Communicating nonverbally cannot be stopped unless one would leave the room, but even then, the intrapersonal processes still take place (individuals communicating with themselves).
For example, there are no other words being spoken after a heated debate, but there are still angry faces and cold stares being distributed.
It explains that the right hemisphere processes nonverbal stimuli such as those involving spatial, pictorial, and gestalt tasks while the left hemisphere involves the verbal stimuli involving analytical and reasoning tasks.
It is possible that individuals may not use the correct hemisphere at appropriate times when it comes to interpreting a message or meaning.
From 1977 to 2004, the influence of disease and drugs on receptivity of nonverbal communication was studied by teams at three separate medical schools using a similar paradigm.
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh, Yale University and Ohio State University had subjects observe gamblers at a slot machine awaiting payoffs.
In some subjects tested for ability to read nonverbal cues, intuitive paradigms were apparently employed while in others a cause and effect approach was used.
A woman with total paralysis of the nerves of facial expression was found unable to transmit or receive any nonverbal facial cues whatsoever.
Because of the changes in levels of accuracy on the levels of nonverbal receptivity, the members of the research team hypothesized a biochemical site in the brain which was operative for reception of nonverbal cues.
Because certain drugs enhanced ability while others diminished it, the neurotransmitters dopamine and endorphin were considered to be likely etiological candidate.
Based on the available data, however, the primary cause and primary effect could not be sorted out on the basis of the paradigm employed.
The experiment was conducted in a room with an examiner and the test subjects, which for the first study were three-year-olds.
The examiner sat across from each child individually, and allowed them to play with various objects including a purse with a sponge in it and a box with a sponge in it.
After allowing the child to play with the objects for three minutes, the examiner told the child it was time to clean up and motioned by pointing to the objects.
They measured the responses of the children by first pointing and not marking the gesture, to see the child's reaction to the request and if they reached for the objects to clean them up.
After observing the child's response, the examiner then asked and pointed again, marking the gesture with facial expression, as to lead the child to believe the objects were supposed to be cleaned up.
The results showed that three-year-old children were able to recognize the markedness, by responding to the gesture and cleaning the objects up as opposed to when the gesture was presented without being marked.
For the most part, the children did not recognize the difference between the marked and unmarked gesture by not responding more prevalently to the marked gesture, unlike the results of the three-year-olds.
This shows that this sort of nonverbal communication is learned at a young age, and is better recognized in three-year-old children than two-year-old children, making it easier for us to interpret that the ability to recognize markedness is learned in the early stages of development, somewhere between three and four years of age.
Boone and Cunningham conducted a study to determine at which age children begin to recognize emotional meaning (happiness, sadness, anger and fear) in expressive body movements.
The children were shown two clips simultaneously and were asked to point to the one that was expressing the target emotion.
The results of the study revealed that of the four emotions being tested the 4-year-olds were only able to correctly identify sadness at a rate that was better than chance.
The 8-year-olds and adults could correctly identify all four emotions and there was very little difference between the scores of the two groups.
A byproduct of the work of the Pittsburgh/Yale/Ohio State team was an investigation of the role of nonverbal facial cues in heterosexual nondate rape.
It was reported that women who had been raped on at least two occasions by different perpetrators had a highly significant impairment in their abilities to read these cues in either male or female senders.
The authors did note that whatever the nature of these preliminary findings the responsibility of the rapist was in no manner or level diminished.
Students indicating a preference for the specialties of family practice, psychiatry, pediatrics and obstetrics-gynecology achieved significantly higher levels of accuracy than those students who planned to train as surgeons, radiologists, or pathologists.
Norvig received a Bachelor of Science in applied mathematics from Brown University and a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley.
He was head of the Computational Sciences Division (now the Intelligent Systems Division) at NASA Ames Research Center, where he oversaw a staff of 200 scientists performing NASA's research and development in autonomy and robotics, automated software engineering and data analysis, neuroengineering, collaborative systems research, and simulation-based decision-making.
Before that he was chief scientist at Junglee, where he helped develop one of the first Internet comparison shopping services; chief designer at Harlequin Inc.; and senior scientist at Sun Microsystems Laboratories.
In 2011, Norvig worked with Sebastian Thrun to develop a popular online course in Artificial Intelligence that had more than 160,000 students enrolled.
Out of the Blue is the seventh studio album by the British rock group Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), released in October 1977.
Written and produced by ELO frontman Jeff Lynne, the double album is among the most commercially successful records in the group's history, selling about 10 million copies worldwide.
Jeff Lynne wrote the entire album in three and a half weeks after a sudden burst of creativity while hidden away in his rented chalet in the Swiss Alps.
It was one of the first pop albums to have an extensive use of the vocoder, and helped to popularize it.
This was inspired by Lynne's experience while trying to write songs for the album against a torrential downpour of rain outside his Swiss Chalet.
The large spaceship on the album's cover (by now symbolic of the group) was designed by Kosh with art by Shusei Nagaoka.
The number JTLA 823 L2 which is featured on the shuttle arriving at the space station is the original catalogue number for the album.
The album also included an insert of a cardboard cutout of the space station as well as a fold-out poster of the band members.
The space theme was carried onto the live stage in the form of a huge glowing flying saucer stage set, inside which the band performed.
It was also the first double album in the history of the UK music charts to generate four top twenty hit singles.
It was one of the landmark albums of the year, and the decade as well, remaining in the UK charts for about 108 weeks.
The 30th Anniversary Edition was released in February 2007 with three bonus tracks, as part of the Sony/BMG Music Epic/Legacy series.
A push-out replica ELO Space Station is included as well as the standard jewel case edition with a full colour 12-page edited booklet.
In 2017, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album, a double picture vinyl disc was released by Sony Music and Epic Records.
Its grass roots are based in the trade union movement, as its founder and former leader Joe Bossano was the District Officer of the Transport and General Workers Union (TGWU).
The party has been led since 2011 by Fabian Picardo, who as served as Chief Minister of Gibraltar since the 2011 general election.
Bossano left the Integration with Britain Party in 1975 and founded the Gibraltar Democratic Movement (GDM), which contested the 1976 election winning four seats in the House of Assembly.
The GDM became the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party in 1978 and obtained one seat, that of Bossano, in the 1980 election.
At the elections of 1984, the GSLP capitalized on the Gibraltarian discontent about the way the British Government was handling the future of the Gibraltar Royal Navy dockyard, opposing the transfer of the docks to Appledore International (which involved the loss of about 400 jobs), and winning seven of the fifteen seats of the Assembly.
Like all the other parties in Gibraltar, the GSLP supports self-determination for Gibraltar and opposes any moves toward joint British–Spanish sovereignty.
The party has strong member and personal ties with the UK Labour Party with many prominent members having been involved with the Labour Party while in the United Kingdom.
The GSLP also endorsed the Labour Party at the 2014 European Parliament elections as it had done on previous European elections.
The party does not consider Gibraltar to have been decolonised by the Gibraltar Constitution Order 2006 and has a policy of continued participation at all United Nations venues in which Gibraltar is discussed including the Special Committee on Decolonization until the decolonisation of Gibraltar is recognised by the UN and the achievement of a new international status for Gibraltar as a full self-governing territory under the British Crown.
In the 1999 by-election, following the death of GSLP Opposition MP Robert Mor, Liberal Party leader Dr. Joseph Garcia (backed by the GSLP) won 51.46% of the popular vote and the seat.
In the 2007 election to the newly named (and re-organized) Gibraltar Parliament, the party won (in Alliance with the Liberals) 31.84% of the popular vote and 4 seats.
In the 2011 election, the party won (in Alliance with the Liberals) 34.23% of the popular vote and 7 seats and, with the 3 seats won by the Liberal Party, formed the new Government of Gibraltar.
In the 2013 by-election, following the death of Housing Minister Charles Bruzon (GSLP), the GSLP candidate Albert Isola won 49.84% of the popular vote to fill in the vacant seat.
The GSLP was represented in the European Parliament by Glyn Ford MEP of the PES Group during the 6th European Parliament term, however Ford later lost his seat in the 2009 European elections.
Gibraltar is part of the South West England constituency in the European parliament and its major parties form joint ticket alliances with the major UK parties.
Their last line-up included vocalist and pianist Andrew McMahon, guitarists Josh Partington and Bobby Anderson, bassist Kevin Page and drummer Brian Ireland.
McMahon announced during an August 3, 2010, visit to Milwaukee that the band had collectively sold over 1 million total records in the band's ten years of existence.
Andrew McMahon and Brian Ireland had a class together at Dana Hills High School, during which the pair often talked about music.
In September 1998, McMahon, Page, and Ireland, merged with lead guitarist Josh Partington and rhythm guitarist Richard Hernandez, to form Something Corporate.
Following a few shows, McMahon realised that he would be unable to pursue a career in music if he was in education.
McMahon's parents were supportive of his music, but suggested doing college applications if the band didn't work out within a year.
The group were unable to secure gigs due to being underage outside of parties and various Battle of the Bands competitions.
During this time, the group shared an apartment in Dana Point, where McMahon wrote a number of the band's early material.
In January and February 2005, the band toured across the U.S. alongside Straylight Run, Hidden in Plain View, The Academy Is..., and Armor for Sleep.
In April, 2005 the band played an outdoor concert at Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity at Indiana University as part of Little 500 festivities.
In December 2005, the band announced they would re-group in January 2006 for rehearsals and plan to write their third album.
In July 2006, McMahon said the group's hiatus wouldn't be permanent, and that they talked of touring early-to-mid 2007 and enter the studio after McMahon was finished working on the second Jack's Mannequin album.
On December 3, 2009, it was announced on AbsolutePunk.net that they would be playing the Bamboozle Left Festival in Anaheim, California on March 28, 2010.
On February 22 at the House of Blues in Chicago, Andrew McMahon announced that Something Corporate will be at Bamboozle Chicago on May 15.
On March 29, 2010, AbsolutePunk.net reported that Something Corporate will also be playing Bamboozle Right in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on May 1.
It was released on 31 May 1979 in the United Kingdom by Jet Records, where it topped record charts, and on 8 June in the United States on Jet through Columbia Records distribution.
The album itself was the first ever to generate four top-ten singles (one of which was a Double A-side) from a single LP in the UK and was eventually certified 2x platinum by the RIAA in 1997.
In one of his earliest jobs, comedian/actor Brad Garrett, dressed in Middle Eastern clothes and turban, appears on the back cover as the menacing palace guard who is drawing his scimitar.
Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (AIMA) is a university textbook on artificial intelligence, written by Stuart J. Russell and Peter Norvig.
The book is intended for an undergraduate audience but can also be used for graduate-level studies with the suggestion of adding some of the primary sources listed in the extensive bibliography.
The authors state that it is a large text which would take two semesters to cover all the chapters and projects.
Primarily a starting pitcher, Ferrell played for the Cleveland Indians (1927–33), Boston Red Sox (1934–37), Washington Senators (1937–38), New York Yankees (1938–39), Brooklyn Dodgers (1940) and Boston Braves (1941).
His father was employed by the Southern Railroad, and the family lived on a 160-acre dairy farm that was also used to grow crops such as hay and tobacco.
They each played baseball for the local high school team, and two others went on to enjoy long careers in baseball: Rick, a Hall of Fame catcher, and George, an 18-year minor league veteran.
Wesley starred in baseball and basketball while playing for Guilford High School, and later for the Oak Ridge Military Academy in 1926.
He was soon noticed by Bill Rapp, a scout for the Cleveland Indians, and in 1927 they, as well as the Detroit Tigers, offered him a contract while he was playing for a semi-professional team in East Douglas, Massachusetts.
He made his Major League Baseball debut on September 9, 1927, pitching a single inning against the Boston Red Sox, and gave up three earned runs.
Although, he initially made the Indians' roster in 1928, he was soon demoted to the Terre Haute Tots, of the Illinois–Indiana–Iowa League.
In 1929, he joined the Indians for good, though only a spot-starter at first; he established himself as one of the best pitchers in the American League (AL) by season's end.
His 21 victories placed second in the league behind George Earnshaw's 24, and he finished in the top ten in strikeouts, earned run average, and saves.
In 1930, he began the season as the Indian's number two starting pitcher behind Willis Hudlin, who made the team's opening day start.
He increased his win total to 25, which finished second in the league, this time behind Lefty Grove's 28, and lowered his ERA to 3.31.
Ferrell continued his excellence during the 1931 season, although his ERA increased to 3.75, he led the lead in complete games with 27, and collected another 22 wins.
On April 29, he pitched a 9–0 no-hitter against the St. Louis Browns, striking out eight, while also hitting a home run, a double, and had four runs batted in (RBIs).
On May 8, he experienced pain in his right shoulder while warming up for a start against the Red Sox, and for the rest of the season, his fastball became largely ineffective, having to rely upon his other pitches.
Through 1930, he had hit just one home run, but in 1931 he hit nine, breaking the previous home run record for pitchers of seven by Jack Stivetts in 1890.
On August 31 he hit two home runs against the Chicago White Sox in 13–5 victory at Comiskey Park, the first of five times he would achieve the feat.
It was suspected that he had anxiety in regard to his shoulder injury, which caused him to angrily react to perceived bad calls by umpires, and teammates who made errors that negatively affected the game.
On one occasion, Ferrell refused to be pulled from a game by his manager, and was suspended ten days without pay for insubordination.
Because of his volatile temperament he was fined and suspended several times for refusing to leave a game, or for leaving it without permission.
After being driven from the mound in one game, he punched himself in the face and began to slam his head into the wall.
In 1932, Ferrell posted his fourth consecutive 20-win season, with a record of 23–13, struck out 105, and had a 3.66 ERA.
The 1933 season began well for Ferrell, he had a 5–4 win-loss record and a 2.12 ERA on June 1, and was named to the inaugural Major League Baseball All-Star Game representing the American League.
He was not called upon to play in the game, but his brother Rick was also selected to the team, and played the entire game.
He had another great year as a batter, however, hitting seven home runs, and he compiled 26 RBIs and a .271 batting average.
After a disappointing 11–12 record for the year, the Indians offered him what Ferrell regarded as an unacceptable contract offer, and he refused to sign.
On May 25, 1934, the Indians traded him, along with Dick Porter, to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for Bob Weiland, Bob Seeds and $25,000 cash.
On August 12, in front of a record crowd of 46,766 fans (with about 20,000 turned away), Babe Ruth made his farewell appearance as a New York Yankee in Boston.
He singled and doubled against Ferrell, but Boston prevailed against Ruth and the New York Yankees by a score of 6 runs to 4.
From that point until the end of the season, he was consistently effective, lowering his ERA from 4.64 on July 25, to a season-ending 3.63.
The first occurred against the St. Louis Browns on July 13, and the other on August 22 against the Chicago White Sox when he hit a game-tying home run in the eighth inning, then hit the game-winning, walk-off home run in tenth inning.
Never known as a control pitcher, Ferrell's base on balls totals were usually high, including leading the league with 130 in 1931, but in 1934, his bases on balls per 9 innings pitched was the best in AL.
As a batter, he had a .347 batting average, and hit seven home runs, the third, and last, time he reached this plateau.
On July 21, with the Red Sox trailing the Detroit Tigers 4–6 in the bottom of the ninth inning and two runners on the bases.
Ferrell was sent in as a pinch hitter and hit a three-run walk-off home run, defeating the Tigers by the score of 7–6.
The following day, Ferrell once again hit a walk-off home run, this time in a tied-game against the St. Louis Browns.
His achievements during the 1935 season resulted in his second-place finish in the Most Valuable Player (MVP) voting, finishing behind Hank Greenberg.
Ferrell had another effective season in 1936, with a 20–15 record, while leading the league in games started, complete games, and inning pitched.
His best games that season were two-hit shoutouts; one occurred on May 3 against the Tigers, and the other on June 21 against the Browns.
His 1937 season began slow and he was unable to turn it around, by June 11, he had just three victories against six losses, and his ERA was a lofty 7.61.
On June 11, the Ferrell brothers and Mel Almada were traded to the Washington Senators in exchange for Ben Chapman and Bobo Newsom.
Shortly after being traded to Washington, Wes won four of his first five starts, and was named to his second All-Star team.
Joining him on the team was his brother Rick, and the game was played on July 7, although neither of the Ferrell brothers played.
Although he had lackluster pitching record of 14–19, he led the AL in innings and complete games for the third consecutive season.
Ferrell remained with Washington in 1938, and leading the team with 13 victories, but due to his behavior and personality conflict with owner Clark Griffith, he was released from the team on August 12.
Over the following winter, he underwent arm surgery to remove bone chips from his elbow, but was unable to fully recover.
He was released by the Yankees in May 1939, and went unsigned until January 1940, when he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers.
In addition to his talents as a pitcher, he was also one of the best-hitting pitchers in major league history, setting records for pitchers; his nine home runs in 1931, and his career-total of 38 still stand.
In total, he collected 329 hits, 57 doubles, 12 triples, delivered 208 RBIs, scored 175 runs, a .446 slugging percentage, and a .280 batting average.
After his release by the Braves in May 1941, he signed with the Leaksville-Draper-Spray Triplets of the class-D Bi-State League, where he batted .332 with 20 home runs in just 74 games.
The following season, he joined the class-C Lynchburg Senators of the Virginia League, where he hit .361 with 31 homers in 123 games.
Wes Ferrell died at the age of 68 on December 9, 1976 in Sarasota, Florida, and is interred at New Garden Cemetery in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Arguments in favor of inducting Ferrell into the Baseball Hall of Fame include the factors which affected his numbers and lack of post-season success.
In addition to the era in which he played, he didn't play for many good teams, and he pitched in hitter-friendly parks.
However, when Ferrell's ERA is adjusted with what he produced as a hitter, he was effectively 22% better than the league average.
In this regard, he is comparable to other high-ERA pitchers that helped themselves by being a good batter such as Ted Lyons, a Hall of Fame member, and Carl Mays.
He retired with the seventh highest winning percentage (.601) among pitchers with at least 300 AL decisions (for teams that never won the pennant) and also with the fourth highest fielding percentage (.975) in AL history.
When he went on to be a manager, Ferrell was slapped with suspensions for incidents such as removing his team from the field, which through erroneous reports grew into legends of Ferrell having physically attacked umpires.
He was a fiery competitor and a brilliant player with natural talent, whose achievements may have been obscured by his irascibility.
As of 2006 its total population is 80,704, out of which the population of Kwidzyn is 37,814, that of Prabuty is 8,488, and the rural population is 34,402.
Kwidzyn County is bordered by Tczew County to the west, Sztum County to the north, Iława County to the east, Grudziądz County to the south and Świecie County to the south-west.
He is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley and Adjunct Professor of Neurological Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco.
He received his Bachelor of Arts degree with first-class honours in Physics from the University of Oxford where he was an undergraduate student at Wadham College, Oxford in 1982, and his PhD in Computer Science from Stanford University in 1986 for research on inductive reasoning and analogical reasoning supervised by .
After his PhD, he joined the faculty of the University of California, Berkeley, where since 1996 he is Professor of Computer Science.
He also holds an appointment as Adjunct Professor of Neurological Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco, where he pursues research in computational physiology and intensive-care unit monitoring.
His research on the history and future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its relation to humanity includes machine learning, probabilistic reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, real-time decision making, multitarget tracking, computer vision, inverse reinforcement learning, and the movement to ban the manufacture and use of autonomous weapons.
In 2016, he founded the Center for Human-Compatible Artificial Intelligence at UC Berkeley, with co-principal investigators Pieter Abbeel, Anca Dragan, Tom Griffiths, Bart Selman, Joseph Halpern, Michael Wellman and Satinder Singh Baveja.
He is on the Scientific Advisory Board for the Future of Life Institute and the Advisory Board of the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk.

In 2003 he was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery and in 2011 he was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Other awards include the National Science Foundation's Presidential Young Investigator Award, the World Technology Award, the Mitchell Prize and the AAAI/EAAI Outstanding Educator Award.
The best bait for Red Drum (Red Fish) is the pogie or menhaden and in the fall specks like croakers thrown in marshy areas.
The hunter either watches the bait from a shootable distance or stalks the animal if it came for the bait during the night.
In areas where bears are hunted, one can often find such bait for sale at gas stations and hunting supply stores.
The bait often consists of some sweet substance, often frosting or molasses, combined with some aromatic such as rotten meat or fish.
Baiting in Australia refers to specific campaigns to control foxes, wild dogs and dingos by poisoning in areas where they are a problem.
These programs are held in conjunction with the local Department of Primary Industriey, Rural Lands Protection Board (RLPB) and National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) to facilitate a neighbourhood baiting campaign.
is an unincorporated community in Okanogan County (population 200) located in the Methow Valley of Washington, on the east slopes of the North Cascades and North Cascades National Park.
It is located along the North Cascades Highway (Highway 20), northwest of Winthrop and about south of the Canada–United States border.
Mazama boomed as the departure point for mining towns in the rugged Harts Pass area, such as Barron, Chancellor, and Robinson.
Recently considered little more than a crossroads, Mazama is slowly growing to include several lodging options, a general store, a recreational supplies store, a gas station, a café, and three restaurants.
It has been a destination for summer weddings, rock climbing, mountaineering, and winter sports with options for heli-skiing, back-country and cross country skiing.
Mazama is a genus of deer (family Cervidae) comprising the Brockets, medium to small deer that are found in the Americas.
It lies immediately leeward of the North Cascades, which trap much of the precipitation carried from the Pacific Ocean by prevailing westerly winds.
This rain shadow strengthens with increasing distance from the Cascade crest: arid Winthrop, 14 miles further downvalley, receives a little over half the annual precipitation of Mazama.
The Goat Wall at its highest is just under and is considered to be one of the best multipitch sport climbing areas in Washington.
Many reports are accompanied by audio and video from the BBC's television and radio news services, while the latest TV and radio bulletins are also available to view or listen to on the site together with other current affairs programmes.
From 1998 to 2001 the site was named best news website at the BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Awards when the award category was withdrawn.
It has previously won both the Judges' award and the People's Voice award for best news site at the annual Webby Awards.
The BBC had previously created special websites marking the 1995 Budget, the 1996 Olympic Games, 1997 general election, and the death of Princess Diana in 1997, but nothing on the scale of the launch of the main site itself, which required the development of a completely new production system, for which a team, led by Matthew Karas was specially hired.
The original design was created by a team, including Matt Jones, based on designs commissioned from consultancy Lambie-Nairn, and has been redesigned several times mainly to match the visual style of BBC News television bulletins and to exploit increases in readers' typical screen resolutions.
A major overhaul in 2003, primarily by Paul Sissons and Maire Flynn, coincided with a relaunch of the BBC News Channel (then BBC News 24) and featured a wider page design.
The site launched a set of semi-official RSS 0.91 syndication feeds in June 2003 and upgraded them to full feed RSS 2.0 in 2008.
In 2004 the BBC News website partnered with Moreover Technologies, in a response to the 2003 Graf Report, to provide links from BBC articles to rival publishers.
Whilst the BBC does not censor or change results the algorithms used tend to give greater weight to national and international sources over regional or local ones.
Mike Smartt, who became editor in chief in 2000, was later succeeded by Pete Clifton who was subsequently promoted to Head of BBC News Interactive and replaced by the previous editor Steve Herrmann in 2005.
A restructuring of BBC News starting in 2007 saw the dissolution of the separate BBC News Interactive department; the editorial and management departments joined the new multimedia newsroom along with television and radio news within BBC Television Centre.
From May 2007, the website began to offer a live video stream of BBC News 24, the rolling news channel now known as the BBC News channel.
In line with the introduction of new features across BBC Online, including a new navigation bar, the site was updated in 2008 with wider centred page designs, larger images and an increased emphasis on audio and visual content.
Beginning on 30 April 2009, some published stories included in-text links, mostly to in-site profile articles on people, locations and organisations.
The BBC announced on 19 November 2009 that it was to pay more attention to search engine optimisation by extending news headlines.
On 14 July 2010 the site was completely redesigned, with the vertical section headings moved to run horizontally near the top of the page.
The new design, incorporating larger in-line videos within news articles and standardised font usage, was introduced as a first step to bringing the entire BBC website into line with its new style guidelines.
However, there was also criticism, with some stating that the use of white space was too widespread and led to the need for continuous and excessive scrolling.
On 4 March 2014, the BBC launched a beta version of the website which was built around the principles of responsive web design, allowing the presentation of content to adjust automatically for a wide variety of screen sizes, from desktop computer to smartphones and tablet devices.
There are two different editions of the site: a UK edition, which gives prominence to UK stories, and an international edition, which prioritises international news.
The international version of the website is operated by BBC Global News Ltd., the for-profit BBC subsidiary which operates the BBC World News television channel.
The 'Magazine' is a section of BBC News Online that includes a number of articles that are not tied to a particular event or topic, unlike the other articles on the site.
Topics can be varied: comments on news stories; how to measure sizes in terms of London AEC Routemaster buses, or for larger geographical areas, Wales; spotting people mentioned in news stories whose name is particularly appropriate for their job, etc.
Other favourite areas of discussion include the Flexicon, the gender of Paper Monitor or coming up with sardonic comments about previous letters.
Readers are encouraged to send their own images depicting ten objects to accompany the facts; past examples have included 10 swans flying in formation and ten toes.
Since a redesign of the BBC News Online in September 2006, the Magazine Monitor has followed a blog-style layout, rather than as a page updated over the week in a similar way to news articles.
It contains an online digital library of news stories reported by the BBC on the Second World War and world events from the 1950s to 2005.
The launch of the BBC iPlayer, with the new Adobe Flash based BBC Embedded Media Player in July 2007 enabled BBC News and Sport Online to change the way it presented video content.
From March 2008 the BBC began to gradually introduce embedded video using the EMP into individual news articles and onto the front page.
Previously, in addition to the standard website with embedded video and audio, there was an XHTML version optimised for users on mobile devices.
As of May 2010 these versions of the site are no longer available and redirect to the main and mobile websites respectively.
The site is primarily funded by the television licence, paid by all UK households owning a television set, and used to carry no advertising.
The World edition has received some subsidy from the UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office through its grant-in-aid to the BBC World Service.
Proposals to include advertising on the international version of the website were discussed by the BBC Trust in February 2007, but were opposed by BBC journalists, who feared it would weaken public trust in the impartiality of the BBC.
The advertising consists of large animated banners, which has led to complaints that these make the site's content harder to read.
An animal control service or animal control agency is an entity charged with responding to requests for help with animals ranging from wild animals, dangerous animals, or animals in distress.
An individual who works for such an entity was once known as a dog catcher, but is generally now called an animal control officer, and may be an employee or a contractor – commonly employed by a municipality, county, shire, or other subnational government area.
Animal control services may be provided by the government or through a contract with a humane society or society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.
Officers may work for, or with, police or sheriff departments, parks and recreation departments, and health departments by confining animals or investigating animal bites to humans.
The most common requirements for this job is some prior experience handling animals on a farm, as a veterinary assistant or animal trainer.
Training is primarily on the job but some jurisdictions (like Virginia, North Carolina and Texas) require formal and continuing education available from community colleges and trade associations.
Some animal cruelty investigators are specially trained police officers, the New York American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) employs several Humane Law Enforcement Officers with some police powers (including the power of arrest); and throughout the United States this arrangement is becoming more common.
Animals held in the shelter can be returned to their owners, adopted, released to the wild, held as evidence in a criminal investigation or euthanized.
The town of Duxbury, Vermont is said to be the only place in the United States that actually elects a dog catcher.
Richard James Codey (born November 27, 1946) is an American Democratic Party politician who served as the 53rd Governor of New Jersey from 2004 to 2006.
He has served in the New Jersey Senate since 1982 and served as the President of the Senate from 2002 to 2010.
He represents the 27th Legislative District, which covers the western portions of Essex County and the southeastern portion of Morris County.
Codey is the longest-serving state legislator in New Jersey history, having served in the New Jersey Legislature continuously since January 8, 1974.
He attended Our Lady of the Valley High School and transferred to Orange High School, neither of them successfully, before switching to Oratory Preparatory School in Summit, from which he graduated.
Codey left the funeral trade to try his hand in politics in 1973 when he was first elected to the State Assembly, with Eldridge Hawkins as his running mate.
Codey was elected to the State Senate that same year and has since risen through the ranks to become Senate President.
He also has a hockey arena named in his honor, also known as South Mountain Arena in West Orange, New Jersey.
Codey represents the 27th Legislative District together with Assemblyman John F. McKeon, who was coincidentally also the mayor of West Orange, a town in Essex County, New Jersey, where Senator Codey's family was raised.
The other Assembly seat is occupied by Mila Jasey, who was elected to fill the seat in November 2007 after the resignation of Mims Hackett on September 8, 2007.
In September, 2006, during Menendez's re-election campaign for his U.S. Senate seat, it was revealed that Menendez was the subject of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.
The situation closely resembles the situation faced by Robert Torricelli in his 2002 re-election campaign, where ethical problems and declining poll numbers led to Torricelli exiting the race, to be replaced as the Democratic candidate by former senator Frank Lautenberg.
Political observers speculated that Codey could be tapped to fill the candidate's slot should Menendez decide to withdraw from the race.
Codey briefly resigned as President of the Senate for one day in January 2008 in order to let retiring Sen. Bernard Kenny of Hoboken serve as Senate President on his last day in office.
Kenny served as Senate President from January 7 to January 8, when Senator Codey was reelected to the Senate Presidency for the next legislative session.
Following Governor Christine Todd Whitman's resignation in 2001 to become head of the EPA, Codey was one of three different senate presidents (along with Donald DiFrancesco and John O. Bennett, along with Attorney General John Farmer) to serve as acting governor for the one-year period between Whitman's resignation and Jim McGreevey's inauguration in January 2002.
DiFrancesco served as acting governor for all but the last week of this period, until his term as senate president ended.
As attorney general, Farmer then served as acting governor for ninety minutes, until the election of Bennett and Codey as co-presidents of the senate.
The latter two then divided the last week of the term between them, with Codey serving for three days, from January 12, 2002, to January 15, 2002, leading to a situation in which the state had five different people serving as governor during a period of eight days.
According to the New Jersey State Constitution at the time, in the event of a vacancy in the governor's office, the President of the State Senate takes on the additional position of acting governor until the next gubernatorial election.
After taking over in 2004 Codey became popular with many New Jersey residents and reportedly considered a run for a full four-year term.
Senator Jon Corzine's large number of endorsements as well as his large campaign war chest, funded primarily by his great personal wealth, convinced Codey to announce officially on January 31, 2005 that he would step aside.
Codey served as governor until Corzine was sworn in on January 17, 2006 following Corzine's victory in the November 8, 2005 elections.
Some had speculated that Codey could be a possible candidate for Corzine's vacant seat in the United States Senate, with Corzine appointing his own successor once he was sworn in as governor.
With the passage on November 8, 2005, of a constitutional amendment creating the position of lieutenant governor to take effect with the 2009 election, Codey became the last person to serve simultaneously as governor and senate president.
This law was made retroactive to 2001, covering both Codey's service after McGreevey's resignation and the service of Donald DiFrancesco following the resignation of Governor Christine Todd Whitman in 2001.
Codey is an advocate of mental health awareness and strongly favors including mental health funding in employee medical benefit packages and Medicare.
In early 2005, Codey responded in person to New Jersey 101.5 talk radio host Craig Carton, who jokingly criticized Mary Jo and her mental health on the air.
Codey appointed Mary Jane Cooper to be New Jersey's first-ever Inspector General, a position created to root out waste and mismanagement in government.
Codey added $7 million in new funding to agencies devoted to public accountability, per the recommendations that resulted from an audit of state ethics codes that he commissioned.
In March 2005, Codey cracked down on pay to play when he signed a law banning campaign contributions by businesses holding state contracts in several circumstances.
As governor, Codey championed a bill to ban smoking from indoor spaces in the state, more money for stem cell research, increased funding for mental health, and sports.
Codey created a task force to recommend ways to end steroid abuse in high school and college sports in the state.
The task force established drug testing for high school athletes on teams that play in the championships, with the state paying for the drug testing program.
In December 2005, Codey announced he was not accepting a new state slogan recommended by the State Commerce Department, following a study by a marketing consultant, which was paid for by the state.
Governor Codey openly solicited slogan suggestions from citizens and then choose five finalists, which he opened to a vote from the public.
Senator on January 18, 2006, in Washington, D.C., Codey spent part of his first day as former governor as the acting governor of the state.
On April 12, 2007, Codey became Acting Governor of New Jersey when Corzine was incapacitated due to serious injuries suffered in a car accident that day.
Former Governor Jim McGreevey was the 11th governor in the history of the United States to resign due to a political scandal.
In August 2004, just after McGreevey announced his intention to leave the office that November, Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind measured public views of his soon-to-be successor, Richard Codey, president of the New Jersey Senate.
In a study released on August 16, 2004, FDU reported that 68% of New Jersey voters did not recognize Richard Codey's name.
In a study conducted by FDU's PublicMind on July 21, 2005, results showed that 51% of NJ voters believed the state was on the wrong track.
According to a PublicMind poll released September 27, 2005, a total of 21% of New Jersey voters still did not recognize their incumbent governor Richard Codey.
However, this was a remarkable increase in recognition from six months earlier, when 35% of voters failed to recognize his name.
Out of the governor's office for over five years, Codey continued to make headlines as a prospective candidate for that office.
Richard Codey came up as the most adequate candidate at 18% among other well-known Democrats like Cory Booker and Frank Pallone.
The Obama administration approached Codey in 2009 to consider running for governor in Corzine's place if the incumbent withdrew from his reelection bid, citing polls showing that Codey led Republican Chris Christie.
1worldspace, known for most of its existence simply as WorldSpace, is a defunct satellite radio network that in its heyday provided service to over 170,000 subscribers in eastern, southern and northern Africa, the Middle East, and much of Asia with 96% coming from India.
The two operational satellites that the company had, AfriStar and AsiaStar, are now being used by their new owner, the Yazmi USA, LLC run by WorldSpace's former CEO Noah A. Samara.
The first pilots of the technology are said to be taking place in India (with 30,000 licenses) and the sub-Saharan region in Africa, with the latest trials in two schools in South Africa, in Rietkol, in Mpumalanga Province, and at Heathfield, in Western Cape.
The company, founded in 1990 has its headquarters in Silver Spring, MD and additional studios were located in Washington, DC, Bangalore, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Nairobi.
In 1991 Noah Samara, working with Thomas van der Heyden – founder of what was then International Telecommunications Inc. (ITI), later in 1997 to become the geostationary satellite division of Orbital Sciences, prepared and filed for the world's first Radio Broadcast Satellite with the US FCC.
In 1992, Samara and van der Heyden (at the time representing the Republic of Indonesia) were able, at WARC-92 with the support of many African and Asian countries, to have the ITU establish a new radio frequency spectrum band dedicated to Broadcast Satellite Services (BSS) in the L-band – 1,452 MHz – 1,492 MHz.
After WARC-92 Samara went on to build WorldSpace and van der Heyden to build IndoVison and the Indostar S-band Direct Broadcast Satellite satellite program for Indonesia.
In a last-ditch but ultimately completely unsuccessful effort to avoid commercial insolvency in July 2008, WorldSpace changed its brand and corporate identity to 1worldspace.
Before filing for bankruptcy in October 2008, 1worldspace employed two satellites and broadcast 62 channels – 38 of which were content provided by international, national and regional third parties and 24 1worldspace-branded stations produced by or for 1worldspace.
The company gained attention around 2000 because of its willingness to invest in impoverished areas and from 2006 to the present due to its financial difficulties and bankruptcy proceedings.
For a while Liberty Media (a spin-off of TCI, an American cable-television group) sought to buy the assets, but in June 2010, a company called Yazmi USA owned by former WorldSpace founder, chairman, and CEO Noah Samara purchased the remains for US$5.5M.
On December 25, 2009, the company issued notices to all of its subscribers in India that WorldSpace service in India would officially be terminated from December 31, 2009, with no refunds given to its subscribers, on account of bankruptcy.
On July 18, 2011, Forbes India reported that Timbre Media was re-launching WorldSpace Radio in association with Sa Re Ga Ma in September 2011, although it would only be streamed through mobile phones, the Internet and direct-to-home television networks.
The re-launch would start with 40 stations and eventually have as many as 120 stations, including sub-categories such as music for cardio-workouts.
1worldspace assembled a combination of news, sports, music, brand name content and educational programming which it delivered to its market in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
The 62 channels (38 of which were third-party content and 24 of which were produced by or for 1worldspace) represented popular international music formats including contemporary hits, country, classic rock and jazz with content specific to the local geographic region.
1worldspace's program directors and announcers operated from studios in Washington, DC, Bangalore, and Nairobi, where 18 original music and lifestyle channels were created for distribution.
In addition, the company planned to implement terrestrial repeater networks in order to facilitate access to new markets in Europe and the Middle-East.
The 1worldspace system was built with companies including Alcatel Space (now Thales Alenia Space), EADS Astrium and Arianespace (France), SED (Canada), GSI (USA), Fraunhofer Soviety (Germany), ST Microelectronics (Italy), Micronas (Germany) and others.
Telemetry, command and ranging (TCR) ground stations consisted of an X-Band uplink command and control system and an L-Band telemetry monitoring system.
Each satellite had two TCR stations with sufficient geographic distance between them so that if natural disasters or any unforeseen events were to make one inoperable, a back-up station would be available.
The TCR stations for AfriStar were located in Bangalore, India and Port Louis, Mauritius, and the ones for AsiaStar in Melbourne, Australia and Port Louis, Mauritius.
In addition to the TCR stations, a communications system monitoring station (CSM) was associated with each satellite to monitor continuously the quality of the downlink services.
The company's broadcast frequency and satellites required a special receiver design incorporating either a small patch antenna measuring approximately 6 to 8 cm (2.4 to 3.2 inches) which folded neatly into the receiver unit or a similarly sized omni-directional antenna mounted on the car rooftop.
Each receiver was individually addressable via a unique identifier that could be used to unlock specially coded audio or multimedia signals.
A password, valid for varying periods of time depending upon the length of the subscription purchased and paid for, is provided to a subscriber and entered into the receiver.
The radio sets, or receivers, which could pick up 1worldspace signals were manufactured by South Korea's AMI, India's BPL and China's Tongshi, among other corporations.
The radios consisted of a satellite receiver plus an antenna that has to be placed in clear view of the relevant satellite, and properly oriented to the user's geographic azimuth and elevation.
A new receiver manufactured by Delphi using open standard ETSI Satellite Digital Radio technology would have been used in Europe if the company had entered the car satellite radio receiver marketplace.
In the first quarter of 2008 the company lost a net total of 2676 subscribers and reported that it would scale back its marketing activities around the world.
WorldSpace recorded a $36.0 million net loss in the second quarter of 2008, as compared to a net loss of $51.2 million in the second quarter of 2007.
Throughout 2008 and 2009 company was in deep debt and was reported to owe its creditors over $50 million, due to be paid by various repeatedly postponed deadlines.
WorldSpace audio advertisements in 2006 highlighted the company's ability to provide communication and data-transmission services to remote areas of the world, particularly in a disaster-relief context.
Rahman as its brand ambassador in India where 90% of its customers are located, and unveiled an integrated marketing communication campaign across print and visual media featuring an exclusive signature tune composed by Mr. Rahman.
WorldSpace Foundation was a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization created in 1997 with the aim of improving literacy in Africa, and providing content through satellite to smaller community radio stations in the continent.
First Voice International was a non-profit organization that tried to ensure that people living in poverty and remote places get the information they need to improve their lives, have the means to communicate their needs and wants, are able to share what they know with others – in their own voice.
By bypassing the isolating effects of illiteracy and remoteness, the organization routinely delivers information to people in areas lacking electricity, telephone or Internet service.
Since uninterrupted line of sight reception may be difficult in the urban areas, a need to install terrestrial repeating transmitters to rebroadcast the satellite signals in the largest metropolitan areas of intended mobile DARS markets was identified.
1worldspace had planned to start providing mobile radio and data services in Italy using a combination of satellite and terrestrial broadcasts in late 2009.
It had signed an agreement with Fiat, an Italian automobile manufacturer, to make radios capable of receiving the signals available to car owners.
If the service had been launched and had been a commercial success in Italy, it was then planned to make similar services available in Germany and Switzerland.
The receivers for the new markets would have been manufactured by Delphi and would have delivered a gap-free coverage to vehicles similar to that of Sirius XM Radio vehicular mobile service.
The district administration was based in City of Danzig, which itself did not form part of the district but an independent city (Stadtkreis).
The district was formed from parts of the previous within the Danzig Region, West Prussia Province, within the Kingdom of Prussia, itself a part of Germany since 1871.
When the regulations of the Treaty of Versailles became effective in 1920, the Danziger Höhe became a district in the new Free City of Danzig.
The district was enlarged by a number of municipalities from neighbouring districts, which else were seized by the Second Republic of Poland as part of Polish Pomerania.
James Bond is assigned to aid the defection of a KGB officer, General Georgi Koskov, covering his escape from a concert hall in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia during intermission.
During the mission, Bond notices that the KGB sniper assigned to prevent Koskov's escape is a female cellist from the orchestra.
Disobeying his orders to kill the sniper, he instead shoots the rifle from her hands, then uses the Trans-Siberian Pipeline to smuggle Koskov across the border into Austria and then on to Britain.
In his post-defection debriefing, Koskov informs MI6 that the KGB's old policy of 'Smiert Spionam', meaning 'Death to Spies', has been revived by General Leonid Pushkin, the new head of the KGB.
Bond is directed to track down Pushkin in Tangier and kill him, to forestall further killings of agents and escalation of tensions between the Soviet Union and the West.
Bond convinces Kara that he is a friend of Koskov's and persuades her to accompany him to Vienna, supposedly to be reunited with him.
Meanwhile, Pushkin meets with an arms dealer, Brad Whitaker, in Tangier, informing him that the KGB is cancelling an arms deal previously arranged between Koskov and Whitaker.
During his brief tryst with Milovy in Vienna, Bond visits the Prater to meet his MI6 ally, Saunders, who discovers a history of financial dealings between Koskov and Whitaker.
Meanwhile, Kara contacts Koskov, who tells her that Bond is actually a KGB agent, and convinces her to drug him so that he can be captured.
Koskov, Necros, Kara, and the captive Bond fly to a Soviet air base in Afghanistan, where Koskov betrays Kara and imprisons her, along with Bond.
Bond and Milovy discover that Koskov is using Soviet funds to buy a massive shipment of opium from the Mujahideen, intending to keep the profits with enough left over to supply the Soviets with their arms and buy Western arms from Whitaker.
With the Mujahideen's help, Bond plants a bomb aboard the cargo plane carrying the opium, but is spotted and has no choice but to barricade himself in the plane.
During the battle, Kara drives a jeep into the cargo hold of the plane as Bond takes off, and Necros also leaps aboard at the last second.
He re-activates the bomb and drops it out of the plane and onto a bridge, blowing it up and helping Shah and his men escape the Soviets.
Bond returns to Tangier to kill Whitaker, infiltrating his estate with the help of his ally Felix Leiter, and Pushkin arrests Koskov, ordering him to be executed before sending him back to Moscow.
Originally the film was proposed to be a prequel in the series, an idea that eventually resurfaced with the reboot of the series in 2006.
An extensive search for a new actor to play Bond saw a number of actors, including New Zealander Sam Neill, Irish-born Pierce Brosnan and Welsh-born stage actor Timothy Dalton audition for the role in 1986.
The announcement that he would be chosen to play James Bond caused a surge in interest in the series, which led to NBC exercising (less than three days prior to expiry) a 60-day option in Brosnan's contract to make a further season of the series.
NBC's action caused drastic repercussions, as a result of which Broccoli withdrew the offer given to Brosnan, citing that he did not want the character associated with a contemporary television series.
Albert Broccoli was initially reluctant given Dalton's public lack of interest in the role, but at his wife's urging agreed to meet the actor.
Although obviously we’d moved some way along in that process, I just wasn’t set on whether I should do it or shan’t I do it.
Dalton's take was very different from that of Moore, regarded as much more of a reluctant hero following an undeniable influence of the Fleming Bond in the way that the veteran agent was often uncomfortable in his job.
Dalton wished to create a Bond different from Moore's, feeling he would have declined the project if he were asked to imitate Moore.
Neill thought Dalton performed well in the role and Brosnan called Dalton a good choice in 1987, but felt it too near the bone to watch the finished film.
Originally, the KGB general set up by Koskov was to be General Gogol; however, Walter Gotell was too sick to handle the major role, and the character of Leonid Pushkin replaced Gogol, who appears briefly at the end of the film, having transferred to the Soviet diplomatic service.
Morten Harket, the lead vocalist of the Norwegian rock group A-ha (which performed the film's title song), was offered a small role as a villain's henchman in the film, but declined, because of lack of time and because he felt they wanted to cast him due to his popularity rather than his acting.
Other actors considered for the role of James Bond included Mel Gibson, Mark Greenstreet, Lambert Wilson, Antony Hamilton, Christopher Lambert, Finlay Light, and Andrew Clarke.
The film was shot at Pinewood Studios at its 007 Stage in the United Kingdom, as well as Weissensee in Austria.
The pre-title sequence was filmed on the Rock of Gibraltar and although the sequence shows a hijacked Land Rover careering down various sections of road for several minutes before bursting through a wall towards the sea, the location mostly used the same short stretch of road at the very top of the Rock, shot from numerous different angles.
The beach defences seen at the foot of the Rock in the initial shot were also added solely for the film, to an otherwise non-military area.
The action involving the Land Rover switched from Gibraltar to Beachy Head in the UK for the shot showing the vehicle actually getting airborne.
Trial runs of the stunt with the Land Rover, during which Bond escapes by parachute from the tumbling vehicle, were filmed in the Mojave Desert, although the final cut of the film uses a shot achieved using a dummy.
The aircraft used for the jump was a C-130 Hercules, which in the film had M's office installed in the aircraft cabin.
The initial point of view for the scene shows M in what appears to be his usual London office, but the camera then zooms out to reveal that it is, in fact, inside an aircraft.
During this later chapter, a fight breaks out on the open ramp of the aircraft in flight between Bond and Necros, before Necros falls to his death.
Although the plot and preceding shots suggest the aircraft is a C-130, the shot of Necros falling away from the aircraft show a twin engine cargo plane, a C-123 Provider.
Worth and Lombard also doubled for Bond and Necros in the scenes where they are hanging on a bag in a plane's open cargo door.
Almost two weeks after the second unit filming on Gibraltar, the first unit started shooting with Andreas Wisniewski and stunt man Bill Weston.
During the course of the three days it took to film this fight, Weston fractured a finger and Wisniewski knocked him out once.
The next day found the crew on location at Stonor House, doubling for Bladen's Safe House, the first scene Jeroen Krabbé filmed.
Despite the iconic status of the submersible Lotus however, Bond's Aston Martin DB5 is recognised as the most famous of his vehicles.
Two different Aston Martin models were used in filming—a V8 Volante convertible, and later for the Czechoslovakia scenes, a hard-top non-Volante V8 saloon badged to look like the Volante.
The soundtrack is notable for its introduction of sequenced electronic rhythm tracks overdubbed with the orchestra—at the time, a relatively new innovation.
The title song is one of the few 007 title songs that is not performed or written by a British or American performer.
Rykodisc's version included the gunbarrel and opening sequence of the film as well as the jailbreak sequence, and the bombing of the bridge.
Additionally, the film featured a number of pieces of classical music, as the main Bond girl, Kara Milovy, is a cellist.
Mozart's 40th Symphony in G minor (1st movement) is performed by the orchestra at the Conservatoire in Bratislava when Koskov flees.
Before Bond is drugged by Kara, she is practising the Cello solo from the first movement of Dvořák's cello concerto in B minor.
At the end of the film, Kara and an orchestra (conducted onscreen by John Barry) perform Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations to rapturous applause.
The Prince and Princess of Wales attended the film's premiere on 29 June 1987 at the Odeon Leicester Square in London.
The review-aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 71% based on reviews from 52 critics, and a weighted average of 6.4 out of 10.
Michael Arthur Ledeen (; born August 1, 1941) is an American historian, neoconservative foreign policy analyst, and author with a PhD in philosophy.
He is a former consultant to the United States National Security Council, the United States Department of State, and the United States Department of Defense.
He held the Freedom Scholar chair at the American Enterprise Institute where he was a scholar for twenty years and now holds the similarly named chair at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
Ledeen holds a Ph.D. in History and Philosophy from the University of Wisconsin–Madison where he studied under the Jewish German-born historian George Mosse.
The book was the first work to explore Italian leader Benito Mussolini's efforts to create a Fascist international in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
Ledeen has been a long time and active supporter of political dissidents, particularly Iranians, and co-founded The Coalition for Democracy in Iran.
Ledeen testified before a Senate subcommittee that he believed that Billy Carter had met with and been paid off by Yasser Arafat of the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
According to the reporting, Francesco Pazienza, an officer of the Italian intelligence agency SISMI, alleged that Ledeen was paid $120,000 for his work on Billygate and other projects.
All four testified that they believed the Soviet Union had provided for material support, training and inspiration for various terrorist groupings.
In addition, he met with Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, officials of the Israeli Foreign Ministry and the Central Intelligence Agency to arrange meetings with high-ranking Iranian officials, whereby U.S supported Iranians would be given weapons by Israel, and would proceed to negotiate with Hizbollah for the release of hostages in Lebanon.
While it would not do to come right out and deny the savagery of the Shah's legendary SAVAK secret police, Ledeen informs us that, under the monarch's beneficent rule, 'Iran had become too modern, too tolerant—especially of women and of other religious faiths—and too self-indulgent.
He has argued that the latter may eventually become necessary if negotiations with the Iranian government fail, but it would only be the least bad option of many options and it would lead to many negative unforeseen consequences.
Ledeen also believed that Iran is the main backer of the insurgency in Iraq and even supported the al-Qaida network formerly led by al-Zarqawi despite its declaration of jihad against Shi'ite Muslims.
For instance he has recommended in public talks that U.S. leaders question or challenge defeated Islamic militaries or forces regarding the apparent failure of Allah to assure their victory.
Barbara Ledeen sparked controversy in 2015 when she tried to launch her own investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails, while a staffer for Senator Chuck Grassley on the Senate Judiciary Committee which was looking into Trump's Russia issue.
According to FBI notes, she requested the assistance of both a defense contractor and Newt Gingrich who asked Judicial Watch for financial assistance for her efforts.
Matt Tate, a former British intelligence official, was approached by Peter W. Smith, an aid close to Gingerich and who was also working with Michael Flynn who is a confidant of Barbara Ledeen's husband, who Tate said Smith was obtaining Clinton's emails independently of Barbara Ledeen's efforts which Grassley had told her to stop.
Simone has worked both in Iraq and Afghanistan for the Department of Defense; Gabriel is currently a lieutenant in the United States Marines Corps serving his second tour in Iraq; Daniel too is currently a lieutenant in the USMC.
He has won one American Contract Bridge League national-level tournament, the 2009 Senior Swiss Teams, on a with Karen Allison, Lea Dupont and Benito Garozzo.
He has also partnered Jimmy Cayne, who was the oldest CEO on Wall Street when he oversaw the collapse of Bear Stearns firm in 2007 and 2008.
Cobar is a town in central western New South Wales, Australia whose economy is based mainly upon base metals and gold mining.
The Towsers Huts, 3km south of town but currently inaccessible to the public, are ruins of very simple colonial dwellings from around 1870.
The indigenous Ngiyampaa/Wangaapuwan traditions of this diverse bio-region are best represented in the rock art of Mount Grenfell, 40 km west of Cobar.
One of these pastoralists, a man known as 'Papa Cornish', rescued a party of Aboriginal trackers from near-certain death in the early 1870s; in gratitude, they guided him to Australia's largest copper deposit.
It and subsequent companies operated a number of light railways carrying ore and similar material, as well as timber for mine supports.
Several fine heritage buildings from the late 1880s/early 1900s settlement are still in existence, including the Great Western Hotel (1898), claimed to have the longest iron lace verandah in New South Wales, the Cobar Post Office (1885), the Cobar Court House (1887) and Court House Hotel (1895) in Barton Street, as well as the Cobar Heritage and Visitor Information Centre, located in the former Mines Office (1910).
On Hillston Road southeast out of town is Fort Bourke Hill, which affords a view of the town, as well as the historic Towser's Huts, a series of stone miners' cottages dating back as early as the 1890s, possibly even the 1870s, and built by an Italian miner by the name of Antonio Tozzi.
However, copper mining operations slowed in 1920, and by the 1930s the town's population had dropped to little over 1,000, only to rise again and stabilise at around 3,500 through the 1970s and early 1980s.
The New Occidental Hotel was a pub located on the edge of town and was built in 1879; it was known as the Star Hotel at that time.
It became a significant local spot for miners as well as a common meeting place for groups and clubs in the area.
In August 2014, a fire engulfed the building and resulted in the death of Daniel Howard, a firefighter called to the incident who later died at Dubbo Base Hospital.
The Cobar economy relies heavily on trade with the local mines and their employees, and consequently on world metal prices and hence is subject to great fluctuations.
During 2008, after a fall of 75% in world zinc prices, one local mine cut 540 of its 655 jobs, with flow-on effects felt by many other businesses.
Established in 2003 by the Cobar Business Association Inc (CBA), Cobar Quid is a currency that encourages its residents to shop locally.
The CBA sells the coins to the local business in values of $5, $10, $20 and $50 values, and the medallions are minted by the Royal Australian Mint.
They described themselves as a progressive socialist organisation and stated that their formation was prompted by the need for a strong opposition to the government.
They opposed dialogue with Spain and wanted to change the Constitution of Gibraltar, and support the right of Gibraltarians to decide their own constitutional arrangements under the principle of self-determination.
They proposed that no individual should serve as Chief Minister for more than two terms, and called for a more transparent form of funding of political parties.
In the 2003 General Election to the Gibraltar House of Assembly, the party won 9,445 votes (or 8.0% of the popular vote) and no seats.
This is the largest number of votes (in terms of both percentage and actual number of votes) for a Gibraltarian political party that has not won a seat in the Legislature throughout its electoral history.
Daniel Anthony Feetham QC MP (born 20 June 1967) is a Gibraltarian politician and lawyer who served as Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the Gibraltar Social Democrats (GSD) from 2013 to 2017.
The party had no seats in Parliament and contested the 2003 General Election, where Mr. Feetham obtained the largest number of votes for a leader of a third party since 1984 and his party the largest share of the vote by a third party since 1988 but no seats.
From 2004 to 2006 he was a member of the Gibraltar delegation that negotiated a new Constitution with the UK and co-ordinated the yes vote campaign in the referendum on the new Constitution in 2006.
He was elected to parliament as a GSD member in the 2007 elections and served as Gibraltar's first Minister of Justice for 4 years.
In the 2011 general election the GSD was defeated by a very narrow margin but Mr Feetham was elected to Parliament 52 votes behind the then leader Peter Caruana.
Mr Feetham became deputy leader of the GSD in 2012 and in February 2013 he was elected as leader of the GSD and became Leader of the Opposition until June 2017 when he stepped aside for family reasons.
His attacker was on bail at the time on charges of attempted murder of a doctor at St Bernard's Hospital and stabbed Mr Feetham because he had been declined, by a judge, legal aid to retain an English QC to represent him rather than having local representation.
In 2003, he contested the General Election as leader of the Gibraltar Labour Party, who won 8.3% of the popular vote and no seats.
He was responsible for the development of hardware and software for artificial intelligence research and worked specifically on the sparse distributed memory project at NASA's Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science (RIACS).
LaMothe is a best selling author and has written numerous books on 2D/3D game development and developed video games for the PC and mobile platforms.
LaMothe is the creator of the first DIY game consoles including the XGameStation XGS ME, HYDRA, PropC3, XGS AVR, XGS PIC and numerous other gaming hardware platforms.
The machine that he invented appears, from the patent, to have been similar to a typewriter, but nothing further is known.
The eldest son of Andrew and Dorothy Mill, was born in 1683 or 1684; according to his epitaph he was a relation of Sir Hugh Myddelton.
He died unmarried at his house in Strand, London on 26 December 1771, and he was buried in Breamore Church, near Salisbury, with a long epitaph to his memory.
Its first executive director was ten-term congressman John B. Anderson (R-Ill.), who ran as an Independent candidate in the 1980 presidential election.
Other officials involved with CNI over the years include long-time president Eugene Bird, a retired career foreign service officer; Edward Peck, former Chief of Mission to Iraq deputy director of the White House Task Force on Terrorism in the Reagan Administration.
; former United States Senator James Abourezk; former CNI Vice-chair David Newton, a former United States Ambassador to Iraq and Yemen, and Richard H. Curtiss, former chief inspector of the United States Information Agency.
In 1988 CNI President Eugene Bird wrote about Israel's ignoring United States State Department complaints about detention and possible torture of U.S. citizens.
In early 2002, Eugene Bird criticized then-United States President George W. Bush for supporting Israel's policies in the occupied West Bank.
In 2005 a representative criticized a World Bank’s proposed plan to give Palestinians money to enhance check points, noting that if those checkpoints were in the occupied territories it was against international law.
In October 2006 CNI published a piece on the negative effect of Christian Zionists on U.S. foreign policy, and held a forum on the topic featuring Reverend Bob Edgar of the National Council of Churches.
In the first days of the 2008–2009 Gaza War, CNI issued a statement comparing the attacks to the 1960 Sharpeville massacre where the South African apartheid regime killed 69 protesters, leading eventually to sanctions against the regime.
It also commissioned a Zogby poll which found 56 per cent of Americans agreed that Congress should pass such a bill.
In February 2005 CNI joined other concerned organizations in a meeting with Department of State officials regarding Israeli mistreatment of Palestinian American prisoners and called for the release of some of the prisoners.
In July 2006 CNI co-sponsored a protest of over 400 people at the Israeli Embassy during the 2006 Lebanon War between Israel and Hezbollah.
In 2007 CNI joined 30 other groups calling for the U.S. government to obtain detailed site information on Israel's cluster bomb strikes in Lebanon during its 2006 attacks on that nation.
A 2003 a Zogby International poll showed that while 56 percent of Americans strongly support or somewhat support a Palestinian state, 30 percent somewhat or strongly oppose a Palestinian state.
In 2008 CNI sponsored a hearing on the dangers of United States' uncritical support for Israel which featured professor John Mearsheimer.
These have included Hezbollah's Naim Qassim, Nawaf Ammar and Ibrahim Mousawi and Lebanon's Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah, Michel Aoun, Walid Jumblatt and Sheik Abed al Karem Obeid.
In Spring 2006 CNI members, including Edward Peck, conducted a fact-finding tour of the Middle East region, meeting with heads of state and acting as international observers in the Palestinian election process.
In preparation for the November 2007 Annapolis Conference to discuss a two-state solution for the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, CNI funded a 2007 trip by six representatives, including Ambassador Robert V. Keeley and Daniel Lieberman.
They met in face-to-face talks with prime ministers, foreign ministers and non-government officials of Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.
The tour of Gaza, Israel, the West Bank, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon was led by Harriet Mayor Fulbright, wife of the late U.S.
She later wrote Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asking her to urge Israel to allow freer movement in and out of Gaza and to allow U.S. diplomats to meet with Hamas and Hezbollah officials.
In 2010 a delegation of politicians, academics and members of the Council for the National Interest met with Gaza Strip Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh.
In 2000, Pete McCloskey gave a speech at a conference of the Institute for Historical Review, which publishes Holocaust denial material.
When McCloskey ran in the 2006 Republican Party primary for Congress, which he would lose, there was a public controversy over exactly what he said about the Holocaust at the event.
In 2004, Alamoudi pleaded guilty to financial and conspiracy charges related to terrorism and was subsequently sentenced to 23 years in prison.
Eugene Bird explained that at the time he joined CNI Alamoudi was a highly regarded Muslim spokesperson who worked with the United States Department of State.
In 2006 the Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington cancelled a poetry reading by the Partners for Peace group because it rented office space from CNI.
Zimmermann who had been a major during the war, was also criticized for the somewhat militaristic vocabulary he had used during the match.
However, TV was more prominent now as most people had access to TV sets, so fewer and fewer people heard his reports.
On 11 December 1966 Zimmermann, who was known as a notoriously bad driver, had an accident in his car and died from his injuries five days later.
Solitaire is any tabletop game which one can play by oneself, or a single-player game of concentration and skill using a set layout of tiles, pegs or stones.
Time is the ninth studio album by English rock band Electric Light Orchestra (credited as ELO), released 2 July 1981 on Jet Records.
It is a concept album about a man from the 1980s who is taken to the year 2095, where he is confronted by the dichotomy between technological advancement and a longing for past romance.
The record topped the UK Albums Chart for two weeks and has since attracted a cult following, particularly among retrofuturist enthusiasts.
The album's musical style draws from the 1950s, new wave, reggae, rockabilly and the work of artists such as the Beatles, Phil Spector and the Shadows.
The change in the band's sound, particularly the lack of orchestral strings, came as a considerable shock to some ELO fans.
Preben Hertoft (5 January 1928 – 26 February 2017), was a Danish psychiatrist and professor in medical sexology, senior doctorate in medicine.
After the death of his mentor Kirsten Auken, Hertoft worked over 40 years as a sexologist doing research, treatment, counseling and education.
Most of the time he had heterosexual and homosexual patients with sexual problems in therapy, but he also treated and counselled transvestites and pedophiles.
A 1914 seven-compartment side-corridor third built by Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon for the Glasgow and South Western Railway is preserved by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society at Falkirk.
Many hundreds of carriages built for the L&Y (mainly at Newton Heath works) came into LMS stock, including some 6-wheel saloons.
Currently two ex-L&Y carriages taken into LMS service have been preserved and restored for irregular public use on the Worth Valley Railway, although one is mounted on a BR underframe built at Wolverton in 1956.
Very many types of coaches were built to suit the various services and needs but, in general, the progression of design features was a logical one.
Three quite distinct periods of design can be recognised, the last of which continued until after nationalisation of the railways in Britain.
They were wooden framed and panelled, had a fully beaded body with a semi-elliptical roof, doors to all compartments of side-corridor coaches, and were mounted on a steel underframe derived from the final Midland Railway design.
The coaches were fitted with non-automatic screw couplers and gangwayed stock made use of scissors-type British Standard pattern corridor connection (as also used on the Great Western Railway).
Most coaches ran on two four-wheel bogies which were of a 9 ft 0 in wheelbase single bolster design which hardly changed for the whole of the company's life.
Some special vehicles ran on twelve wheel chassis and the six-wheel bogie on these vehicles was of 12 ft 6 in wheel-base, based on the London and North Western Railway design.
Certain characteristic Midland Railway features were incorporated in the design of early LMS coaches which distinguished them from those of other lines.
This took the form of two rectangular windows side by side (one fixed and one drop-light), rather than a single window or centre drop-light with two flanking quarterlight arrangement.
During this period, the LMS company introduced a considerable quantity of conventional coaches which were comfortable and well built but whose designs were not particularly revolutionary.
Externally, these early LMS coaches were extremely attractive in the fully panelled and beaded style and with the fully lined Crimson Lake livery.
At first there were two such windows in each compartment (one fixed and one frameless droplight) in the manner of the characteristic Midland pattern vestibule coaches already considered.
They differed from the normal twin-window style in having frameless droplights and Stones ventilators over both windows and the style soon became adopted for other vehicles.
By 1930 it had made its appearance in some composites, this time with but one Stones ventilator centrally over the window pair and with large 4 ft 6 in wide corridor side windows.
Five of these coaches were semi-open firsts that had three compartments all finished in a different style with only four seats in each; each passenger thus had a corner seat.
The other five coaches were equally luxurious lounge brakes with accommodation for 10 first class passengers in eight individual armchairs and a settee.
These 10 vehicles were followed in 1929 by a similarly styled batch of 25 neutral vestibule coaches for either first or third class passengers.
Although these 1928–29 coaches had single windows, they were still of the high-waisted design with full exterior beading - as indeed were most LMS coaches to this time - and there is some evidence that although the single window was more appreciated than the earlier arrangement, it was not always easy to see out of it because of the high waist.
This was, apparently, particularly irksome in the lounge brakes which with their very low seated chairs were, seemingly, never very popular.
These were open thirds and brake thirds, together with a large number of full brakes, which were built by outside contractors, probably to assist the steel industry at that time.
Construction apart, however, their two-window style and interior layout showed no advance on the other coaches of the time while externally they were finished in a pseudo fully beaded style.
The start of the second phase in LMS carriage design was almost contemporary with the introduction of the previously mentioned high-waisted, single window designs and the new trend of thought was first exemplified by the appearance in 1929 of six luxury brake firsts with two-a-side compartment seating and somewhat palatial toilet accommodation.
This low waisted trend in design only partially set the pattern for new construction because corridor composites continued to come out in the fully beaded two-window style and the corridor thirds and brake thirds continued to have full compartment doors until 1930.
Thus there was a certain amount of overlapping styles during the first part of the second period of LMS coach building.
Some of these, which were classified as dining vehicles were built as firsts but were downgraded a few years later on the advent of the Stanier firsts.
However, a much larger group of low-waisted vestibule coaches was the , 56 seat version of which 300 were built in 1931-2 and differed from the version in that they were steel clad with simulated external beading in paint.
Although mainly confined to composites and brake composites, it was a batch of corridor thirds in 1930 that really set new standards.
Although the traditional four on each side seating was retained, the compartments were no less than 6 ft 6 in between partitions.
However, no more were built possibly because they were a little extravagant of space and large numbers of the earlier designs had been built between 1924 and 1928.
On the specialised coaching side, this second phase of design was represented mainly by dining cars of which 36 were built which made amends for the relative lack of new dining cars during the first six years of the LMS.
There were also two batches of 12-wheel composite sleeping cars built at this time that retained a high waist and certain LNWR styling features but were flush clad with frameless droplights.
The LMS flush sided coach, of which many examples still remained as late as 1967-8, differed in appearance from its predecessors mainly in the shape of its windows which now exhibited well-rounded corners.
All the earlier coaches had, of course, been built with slightly rounded window corner mouldings but by comparison with Stanier vehicles, the Period I and II coach window was almost square cornered.
During Period I, the favoured method of admitting fresh air was the droplight which was frequently supplemented by and finally (in Period II) in large measure superseded by the Stones and Dewel pattern glass vane ventilator.
Initially this was quite shallow with only one section moveable but in 1934 this was replaced by a deeper ventilator with two wide sliding sections which remained almost until the end.
From about 1947-8, the sliding portions were somewhat shortened and in this form were retained as a feature of the British Railways (BR) standard coach.
During the Stanier period, non-corridor coaches varied little from the pattern laid down in the 1920s except for the flush clad exterior.
No inter district lavatory sets were built during the Stanier regime and apart from a few lavatory composites for the London Tilbury and Southend section, all the Stanier non-corridor stock was of the suburban type.
There was an interesting batch of articulated triplets made in 1938 but these do not seem to have been very popular.
LMS design coaches continued to be built for several years after 1947 until the introduction of the British Railways Mark 1.
This short-lived period was, in fact, little more than a continuation of the Stanier era and was not really a new phase in the same sense that the flush sided stock itself was.
This stock actually commenced building a year or two after 1947 and was, therefore, not strictly LMS stock as such but it was in the direct tradition of LMS coach building practice and has, therefore, been included here.
It differed from the last versions of the Stanier stock proper (which themselves were built well into BR days) principally in the circular toilet windows which replaced the earlier rectangular ones, but also in having post-war torpedo ventilators and the final style of sliding window ventilators.
It was the last ELO album with bass guitarist Kelly Groucutt, conductor Louis Clark and real stringed instruments, and the last ELO album to be released on the Jet label.
Word of the album's impending release in the United States caused enough of a furore to cause CBS Records to delete the cover blurb there.
On completion of this album, Lynne dismissed bass guitarist Groucutt after he sued for alleged lost royalties and later received a settlement out of court.
The record was originally going to be a double album, but this plan was thwarted by Jet's distributor, CBS Records, claiming that producing a double vinyl album would be too expensive; as a result, leader Jeff Lynne would have to reduce it to a single album.
Zoom is the twelfth studio album by British symphonic rock band Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), released on 12 June 2001 on Epic Records.
The only other ELO member appearing on the album, Richard Tandy, appears on the opening track and performed live in promotional concerts.
Although billed as a return to the classic ELO sound, the album sales were relatively poor and a planned North American concert tour was cancelled.
A remaster by Frontiers was released on 19 April 2013 in the UK, and on 23 April 2013 in the US, and included four previously unreleased bonus tracks; two of them being live recordings from the 2001 Zoom Tour Live PBS taping at CBS Television City in Los Angeles.
Solar Eclipse is a 1995 space flight simulation video game developed and published by Crystal Dynamics, released exclusively for the Sega Saturn in North America and Japan.
In practice, however, it was the Council that governed, since the Governor-General was (with few exceptions) bound to act on its advice.
The Executive Council included a prime minister called the President of the Executive Council and a deputy prime minister called the Vice-President.
A member of the Council was called an executive minister, as distinct from an extern minister who had charge of a department without being in the Council.
The President of the Executive Council was appointed by the Governor-General after being nominated by Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Oireachtas (parliament), and the remaining Executive Ministers were nominated by the President.
In practice this meant that, as in Canada, the Governor-General was in most cases required to act on the advice of the Executive Council.
The remaining cabinet ministers were also nominated by the President but had to be approved by a vote of consent in the Dáil.
Initially the constitution provided that the Executive Council would consist of between five and seven ministers (not including its president) but under a constitutional amendment adopted in 1927 this maximum limit was increased to twelve.
Similarly, initially it was required that all cabinet members hold seats in the Dáil, but an amendment in 1929 provided that one member could be a senator.
The fact that an Executive Council that had lost the confidence of the Dáil could not request a dissolution created the possibility of a political stalemate.
It meant that if the Executive Council resigned after being defeated, and the Dáil could not agree on a new Council, a Catch-22 situation might be created, in which the inability of the Dáil to choose a cabinet could not be resolved by the holding of a general election.
Unlike the equivalent position since 1937 of Taoiseach, the President of the Executive Council did not have authority to dismiss ministers individually.
Additionally, the President of the Council could not ask the Governor-General to dissolve the Dáil on his own initiative, but the Council as a whole had to do so.
This meant that the position of the President was weaker than that of most modern prime ministers, and he was its chairman as much as he was its leader.
It replaced two previous cabinets: the Ministry of Dáil Éireann of the Irish Republic established under the Dáil Constitution and the Provisional Government established under the Anglo-Irish Treaty.
The Irish Free State had the status of a dominion of the British Commonwealth and the Irish Executive Council derived its name from organs of government found in other dominions.
Firstly, it was a cabinet, whereas the Executive Councils of Australia and New Zealand each serve a role closer to that of a privy council.
Secondly, whereas in the Free State the President of the Executive Council was the head of government, in Australia it is the Governor-General who is formally its president, although he need not attend all of its meetings.
Contrary to the practice in New Zealand and Australia, the executive councils of the provinces of Canada are closer in role to the Free State cabinet, and are presided over by each province's premier.
From 11 December 1936 to 29 December 1937, the remaining months of the Irish Free State, the executive authority and a number of the Governor-General's other functions were exercised by the Executive Council directly, but in practice this change was merely symbolic.
The Executive Council itself was replaced in 1937 by a new cabinet, called simply the Government, established under the new Constitution of Ireland.
The Irish Free State was a constitutional monarchy, initially one of the dominions within the British Empire (later the Commonwealth of Nations), whose monarch had the same title in all parts of the Empire and its territories, and the Free State government was sometimes referred to as His Majesty's Government in the Irish Free State.
After the 1926 Imperial Conference, attended by Cosgrave as President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State, the King's title was changed under the Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927.
But the description went out of use at least by 1937, when the Constitution of Ireland came into effect as a result of de Valera's process of constitutional autochthony.
Any remaining vestige of the monarch's part in the constitution, or doubt about the person or office of the head of state, was removed when the state was finally declared to be a republic, as from 18 April 1949, under the Republic of Ireland Act 1948.
The doll was very popular during its launch, however the line was discontinued in 2004 due to Ohio Art's toy shipments falling to 15 percent because of weak retail markets and strong competition in the fashion doll market.
The new Betty Spaghetty dolls were released later that year, but were discontinued a second time a year later due to lackluster sales.
Moose Toys revealed at the 2016 Toy Fair that Betty Spaghetty would be sold as part of their brand in the fall of 2016.
Nílton dos Santos (; 16 May 1925 – 27 November 2013) was a Brazilian footballer who primarily played as a wingback.
Regarded as one of the greatest defenders in the history of the game, Nílton Santos is a member of the World Team of the 20th Century, and was named by Pelé one of the top 125 greatest living footballers at a FIFA Awards ceremony in 2004.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, he was a pioneering attacking left back, being one of the first full backs to make runs down the wing to participate in the offensive game.
Nílton was a key player in defence during the 1954, 1958 and 1962 World Cup finals (he was also in the Brazilian squad for the 1950 finals, but made no appearances) and became famous for scoring a magnificent goal in the 1958 tournament when Brazil played Austria.
Dribbling his way through the whole field, he finished with a superb shot, driving his coach Vicente Feola crazy (he kept on insisting for Nílton to retreat to the defensive field, but was ignored until the goal was scored).
Nílton Santos played for only two teams in his professional career; Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas and the Brazilian national team collecting 75 caps and scoring 3 goals.
He was the fourth 1958 World Cup champion to die in a few months, after Djalma Santos died in July 2013, Gilmar and De Sordi both in August 2013 and all of them within a year of the 2014 World Cup in their native Brazil.
On the constitutional status of Gibraltar, the party supported a new status, calling for Gibraltar's establishment as a devolved autonomous territory, integrated within a decentralised federal Britain.
The party also called for the creation of a local Parliament for Gibraltar, a Member of Parliament (MP) to sit in the British House of Commons in Westminster, and a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) to represent Gibraltar in the European Parliament.
Lyana Armstrong-Emery was voted by the party to take the position on the joint list agreed with the Green Party for the European Elections.
Gibraltar is part of the South West England constituency in the European parliament and its major parties form joint ticket alliances with the major UK parties.
In 2004, the only EU election that it participated in before its dissolution, Reform had been in an alliance with the Green Party.
In the 1994 film, Dr. Jackson is an archaeologist who is a part of the first team to go through the Stargate on a reconnaissance mission, led by Colonel Jack O'Neil.
Jackson is part of SG-1 until his death at the end of the season 5, when he is replaced by Jonas Quinn.
Jackson appears in the series until the finale at the end of the tenth season, and appears in both direct-to-DVD films that act as sequels to the series.
Born on July 8, 1965, Daniel Jackson is the only living child of Melburn and Claire Jackson, archaeologists who were crushed to death while supervising the placement of a piece of Egyptian art in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Daniel's maternal grandfather and only living relative, Nick Ballard (played by Jan Rubeš), was a noted Dutch archaeologist and too busy to take the orphaned Jackson under his wing.
Though placed in foster care, Daniel visited his grandfather in a mental institution until they had an argument over his failing career and Daniel left.
Daniel became an archaeologist and linguist who speaks 23 earthly (plus several extraterrestrial) languages—he is shown speaking at least English, Russian, German, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Egyptian, Goa'uld, Ancient, and Unas.
However, he finds little acceptance there of his theory that the Pyramids of Giza are much older than they are thought to be.
An aged woman named Catherine Langford approaches him to offer him a job deciphering the cover-stones of a device found in Egypt.
Jackson then travels with a team, led by Jack O'Neill, through the Stargate, and they discover that it leads to the planet Abydos.
After winning the battle to free the Abydonians from the System Lord Ra, Daniel decides not to return to Earth with the rest of the team and to instead live the rest of his life learning about the culture and history of Abydos, with its culture based on that of ancient Egypt.
The Kelownan scientist Jonas Quinn takes Daniel's place on SG-1 during season 6, although the rest of the team find it hard to get over Daniel's absence.
Ascended Daniel visits O'Neill and Teal'c during times of crisis, but the laws of ascended beings forbid him to directly interfere, with his visits simply consisting of providing moral support to his old teammates as they face torturous experiences on their own.
Before Daniel can destroy Anubis, he is whisked away, but Oma helps Daniel by ascending the entire population of Abydos before Anubis destroys the planet.
Daniel spends much of season 7 trying to tap into his Ascended memories of his time of Ascension and to find the Lost City of the Ancients.
The discovery of an Ancient communication device transports their minds to a village in a distant galaxy where they make contact with the Ori.
Before the time dilation field is reversed after fifty years, erasing all linked memories in the process, Daniel and Vala express their feelings for each other.
In the time following the conclusion of Stargate Atlantis, Jackson still works for the Stargate Command (SGC), along with Dr. Nicholas Rush.
Jackson is attempting to unlock the 9th Chevron address, which would be later opened by Eli Wallace at the Icarus Base.
Rush's research team by recording a series of instructional videos explaining the stargate, the history of the ancients, the stargate addressing system and hyperdrive technology.
Daniel develops a love-hate relationship with Vala Mal Doran between seasons 8 and 10; it is established multiple times that their feelings for each other are far deeper than either of them care to admit.
Vala's daughter, the Orici Adria, develops an attraction to Daniel while attempting to convert him to the path of Origin during season 10.
On a personal level, Jackson is very close to his teammates on the original SG-1, with each of them constantly depicted as willing to go to great lengths to protect each other, even with such moments as Teal'c's role in Sha're being taken by Apophis or Jack distancing himself from the others to go undercover and expose the NID's theft of alien artifacts.
McKay's feeling is mutual, and they engaged in a verbal sparring match throughout their time together, but they at least have a mutual respect for each other's accomplishments.
Dr. Jackson utilizes his skills in all three fields throughout the film as it becomes evident that he specializes in Egyptology.
As a character, which further exemplifies this stereotype, Daniel represents an antithesis to the military stereotype of shoot first, ask questions later.
Jackson is frequently depicted as approaching other cultures; past, present, and future, in a culturally sensitive manner, sometimes siding with their interests above those of the military back on Earth.
Pseudo-archaeology operates, generally, outside of the empirical and analytical methods of the profession of archaeology, and often is associated with claims of extraterrestrial life, magic, and other phenomena.
In the fictional universe of Stargate, Daniel is proven correct about his claims that the Egyptian pyramids are much older than anyone believes, and even finds out they are of extraterrestrial design.
Daniel's first death is by staff blast while he defends O'Neil; he is resurrected by Ra with a sarcophagus in the film.
In the series first instance of an alternate timeline, the Daniel from that timeline is also presumed dead as his last known location is Egypt which is shown to have been attacked by the Goa'uld.
In Daniel is feared dead when he asks Carter and Mitchell to leave him behind while they search for help in the Arctic, only to be rescued by Col. O'Neill.
Jackson is again killed by a Jaffa staff weapon near the end before Mitchell uses Ba'al's time-travel device to prevent Ba'al invading and conquering Earth.
Mostly because of his manual-labourist view of acting, he accepted the role as a regular job that earned him some money.
Panicking fans started massive write-in fan campaigns to save the show and the character, partly conflating the two issues, but Sci-Fi Channel decided to continue the show and fill the void with a new character.
The hectometre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: hm) or hectometer (American spelling) is an uncommonly used unit of length in the metric system, equal to one hundred metres.
Aspropyrgos consists of a residential downtown area and an industrial area where a number of storage warehouses, metal recycling facilities, logistics handlers, wholesalers, small construction companies and other industrial businesses operate.
The refinery includes depots in the southern and eastern parts, and some in the western part and at a dock to the southwest.
George Henry Peabody, who came from a line of merchants, bankers and professional men, had moved from Connecticut to Columbus, Georgia, where he ran a prosperous general store.
The Civil War, however, impoverished his family, and in 1866 they moved to Brooklyn, New York, and young Peabody went to work as an errand boy.
During the 1880s and 1890s this investment house took a leading part in financing electric lighting corporations, sugar beet and other industrial enterprises, and railroad construction in the western United States and Mexico.
Peabody, his brother Charles Jones Peabody and Spencer Trask amassed a great portion of their wealth from the Edison Electric Company.
Trask served as president of Edison Electric Illuminating, and when J. P. Morgan—protégé of New England businessman/philanthropist George Peabody—financier of Edison Electric, merged all into the General Electric Company in 1892, George Foster Peabody became a member of the GE board of directors.
He was director of the Mexican National Railroad; and had holdings in Yucatan, where he was involved in commercial henequen exports, a natural twine used for binding wheat; was a director of the Intercontinental Rubber Company, founded by Bernard Baruch; and provided capital for mining enterprises.
He was a co-founder, director and treasurer of the General Education Board, the Southern Education Board, and the Anna T. Jeans Foundation.
He also served on the board of trustees for the American Church Institute for Negroes, Hampton University in Virginia, Tuskegee University in Alabama, the University of Georgia, and the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute.
In the early 1880s, he helped his close friend Edward M. Shepard organize the Young Men's Democratic Club of Brooklyn, took a part in the 1892 presidential campaign on behalf of Grover Cleveland, supported the Gold Democrats against William Jennings Bryan in 1896, then switched to more moderate monetary reform as a member of the executive committee of the Indianapolis Monetary Convention in 1897.
Although he declined to run for political office, and declined President Wilson's offer of a place on the Federal Trade Commission, Peabody was an unofficial counselor to many government officials.
In June 1932 Franklin Delano Roosevelt, then Governor of New York, visited Peabody for advice and support in deciding to run for President of the United States.
Peabody served from 1884 to 1930 as a trustee of Hampton University, one of Virginia's historically black universities, where he established in the university library the Peabody Collection of rare materials on African-American history, one of the largest collections in the United States.
After years of visiting the estate of his partner Spencer Trask in Saratoga Springs, New York Peabody agreed to succeed him in 1910 as chairman of the state commission set up to purchase and conserve the famous spa there, and in 1923 he acquired the property at Warm Springs, Georgia near his boyhood home.
In 1924 he invited his friend Franklin Delano Roosevelt (who had recently contracted a paralytic illness) to visit the 90 degree Fahrenheit springs there, which Roosevelt eventually purchased and turned into the Little White House and the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation, expanding it from a limited rehab center into a full-service center.
While his formal education was limited and he had no college degree, Peabody received honorary degrees from Harvard and Washington and Lee Universities in 1903, and the University of Georgia in 1906.
This latter institution was the recipient of much of Peabody's philanthropy, including funds to build a fireproof building to house the university's library.
Perhaps Peabody's best-known legacy is the George Foster Peabody Awards, presented annually since 1941 by the University of Georgia's Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication for excellence in radio, and, since 1948, television broadcasting, followed by World Wide Web content in the late 1990s.
A tall man, in later years he developed a mane of white hair, and wore a heavy mustache and pointed beard, becoming known for his dignified and courtly manner.
He was frequently a guest at Yaddo, the Saratoga Springs estate of Spencer Trask and his wife, Katrina Trask, and from both estates he developed a wide circle of influence, including many persons from the literary world, church, business, and government, who came to enjoy his gracious hospitality.
A longtime bachelor, in 1920, eleven years after Trask's death in a railroad accident, Peabody married Trasl's widow Katrina, and they lived at Yaddo until her death in 1922.
Peabody continued to live on the estate, and in 1926 he adopted a daughter, Mrs. Marjorie P. Waite, a young woman whom he had come to know in connection with his civic and humanitarian activities and who aided him in them.
Islamic terrorism, Islamist terrorism or radical Islamic terrorism are terrorist acts against civilians committed by violent Islamists who claim a religious motivation.
The largest numbers of incidents and fatalities caused by Islamic terrorism have occurred in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Pakistan, Yemen and Syria.
In 2015 four Islamic extremist groups were responsible for 74% of all deaths from Islamic terrorism: ISIS, Boko Haram, the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, according to the Global Terrorism Index 2016.
Since approximately 2000, these incidents have occurred on a global scale, affecting not only Muslim-majority states in Africa and Asia, but also states with non-Muslim majority such as United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Russia, Australia, Canada, Israel, China, India and Philippines along with some occasional targeting of citizens from Italy, Sweden, Denmark, New Zealand, South Korea and Japan.
In a number of the worst-affected Muslim-majority regions, these terrorists have been met by armed, independent resistance groups, state actors and their proxies, and elsewhere by condemnation coming from prominent Islamic figures.
Justifications given for attacks on civilians by Islamic extremist groups come from extreme interpretations of the Quran and Hadith, and sharia law.
After the Al-Qaeda September 11 attacks, US president George W. Bush and UK Prime Minister Tony Blair repeatedly stated that the war against terrorism had nothing to do with Islam, but was a war against evil.
After failed post-colonial attempts at state formation and the creation of Israel, a series of Marxist and anti-Western transformations and movements swept throughout the Arab and Islamic world.
These movements were nationalist and revolutionary not Islamic but their view that terrorism could be effective in reaching their political goals generated the first phase of modern international terrorism.
In the late 1960s, Palestinian secular movements such as Al Fatah and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) began to target civilians outside the immediate arena of conflict.
Following Israel's 1967 defeat of Arab forces, Palestinian leaders began to see that the Arab world was unable to militarily confront Israel.
During the same time, lessons drawn from revolutionary movements in Latin America, North Africa, Southeast Asia as well as during the Jewish struggle against Britain in Palestine, saw the Palestinians turn away from guerrilla warfare towards urban terrorism.
According to Bruce Hoffman of RAND, in 1980 two out of 64 terrorist groups were categorized as having religious motivation, in 1995 almost half (26 out of 56) were religiously motivated with the majority having Islam as their guiding force.
The Soviet–Afghan War and the subsequent anti-Soviet mujahedin war, lasting from 1979 to 1989, started the rise and expansion of terrorist groups.
Since their beginning in 1994, the Pakistani-supported Taliban militia in Afghanistan has gained several characteristics traditionally associated with state-sponsors of terrorism, providing logistical support, travel documentation, and training facilities.
Since 1989 the increasing willingness of religious extremists to strike targets outside immediate country or regional areas highlights the global nature of contemporary terrorism.
The 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, are representative of this trend.
Many of the victims were Muslims, including most of the victims who were killed in attacks involving 12 or more deaths..
However, two studies of the background of Muslim terrorists in Europe—one of the UK and one of France—found little connection between religious piety and terrorism.
Donald Holbrook, a Research Fellow at the Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, analyzes a sample of 30 works by jihadist propagandists and finds several passages of the Quran exploited and distorted to suit the objectives of violent jihad.
Supporters of bin Laden have also pointed to reports according to which the Islamic prophet Muhammad attacked towns at night or with catapults, and argued that he must have condoned incidental harm to noncombatants, since it would have been impossible to distinguish them from combatants during such attacks.
The Pakistani theologian Javed Ahmad Ghamidi blames Muslim madrasas that indoctrinate children with Islamic supremacist views, such as that Muslims are legally superior to unbelievers (particularly former Muslims), and that jihad will eventually bring about a single caliphate to rule the world.
Being a religious obligation, jihad is elaborately regulated in sharia law, which discusses in minute detail such matters as the opening, conduct, interruption and cessation of hostilities, the treatment of prisoners and noncombatants, the use of weapons, etc...
... A point on which they insist is the need for a clear declaration of war before beginning hostilities, and for proper warning before resuming hostilities after a truce.
What the classical jurists of Islam never remotely considered is the kind of unprovoked, unannounced mass slaughter of uninvolved civil populations that we saw in New York two weeks ago.
Wael Hallaq writes that in the modern era the notion of jihad has lost its jurisprudential relevance and instead gave rise to an ideological and political discourse.
While modernists view jihad as defensive and compatible with modern standards of warfare, some Islamists go beyond the classical theory to insist that the purpose of jihad is the fight against oppressive regimes and conversion of non-Muslims to Islam.
Dame Eliza Manningham Buller, the former head of MI5, told the Iraq inquiry, the security services warned Tony Blair launching the War on Terror would increase the threat of terrorism.
However, Martin Kramer, who debated Pape on origins of suicide bombing, stated that the motivation for suicide attacks is not just strategic logic but also an interpretation of Islam to provide a moral logic.
Kramer explains that the Israeli occupation of the South Lebanon Security Zone raised the temperature necessary for this reinterpretation of Islam, but occupation alone would not have been sufficient for suicide terrorism.
Maajid Nawaz and Sam Harris argue that many acts of Islamic extremism can not be connected in any way with the Western intervention in Muslim lands.
While personal humiliation does not turn out to be a motivation for those attempting to kill civilians, the perception that others with whom one feels a common bond are being humiliated can be a powerful driver for action.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, al-Qaeda, Al-Shabaab (militant group), Boko Haram, Indonesian Mujahedeen Council, Taliban, Sipah Sahaba, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and Hizbul Mujahideen follow Wahabi or Salafi ideology which is commonly opposed by other Muslims.
Islamists often identify what they see as a historical struggle between Christianity and Islam, dating back as far as the Crusades, among other historical conflicts between practitioners of the two respective religions.
Osama bin Laden, for example, almost invariably described his enemies as aggressive and his call for action against them as defensive.
Hence, framing a fight as defensive has the advantage of both appearing to be a victim rather than appearing to be an aggressor, and giving the struggle the very highest religious priority for all good Muslims.
The historic rivalry between Hindus and Muslims in the Indian subcontinent has also often been the primary motive behind some of the most deadly terrorist attacks in India.
Islamists have claimed that such unrestricted free speech has led to the proliferation of pornography, immorality, secularism, homosexuality, feminism, and many other ideas that Islamists often oppose.
Similarly, Reuters reported that pornography was found among the materials seized from Osama bin Laden's Abbottabad compound that was raided by U.S. Navy SEALs.
She also cautioned how difficult it was to gain a proper perspective, saying that although there are more important dangers we face daily without feeling so threatened by them, such as climate change and road deaths, and though terrorist deaths were few, the intelligence services had prevented some potentially large threats and that vigilance was needed.
With the exception of Abul Ala Maududi and Abdullah Yusuf Azzam, none of Qutbism's main theoreticians trained at Islam's recognized centers of learning.
Islamist-based fundamentalist terrorism against Western nations and the U.S. in particular, has numerous motivations and takes place the larger context of a complex and tense relationship between the 'West' and the Arab and Muslim 'world,' which is highlighted in the previous section on motivations and Islamic terrorism.
Identity-based theoretical frameworks, including theories of social identity, social categorization theory, and psychodynamics are used to explain the reasons terrorism occurs.
Bin Laden's ideology and interpretation of Islam led to the creation of al-Qaeda in response to perceived threats against the Muslim community by the Soviet Union, the U.S. in particular due to its troop presence in Saudi Arabia, and American support for Israel.
In this three-stage process of identification, the Arab and Muslim world(s) are the social group(s), in which their members learn stereotypes and norms which categorize their social group vis-à-vis the West.
This social categorization process creates feelings of high-level in-group support and allegiance among Arabs and Muslims and the particular context within which members of the Arab and Muslim world(s) social group(s) understand all situations that involve the West.
In 2011, U.S. President Barack Obama stated that apart from crude oil, the exports of the entire Greater Middle East with its 400 million population roughly equals that of Switzerland.
It has also been estimated that the exports of Finland, a European country of only five million, exceeded those of the entire 370 million-strong Arab world, excluding oil and natural gas.
This economic stagnation is argued by historian David Fromkin in his work A Peace to End All Peace to have commenced with the demise of the Ottoman Empire in 1924, with trade networks being disrupted and societies torn apart with the creation of new nation states.
Although the Ottoman Empire was referred to as the Sick man of Europe, the parts of the Middle East under Ottoman rule still had a diverse and steady growing economy with more general prosperity.
According to Scott Atran, a NATO researcher studying suicide terrorism, the available evidence contradicts a number of simplistic explanations for the motivations of terrorists, including mental instability, poverty, and feelings of humiliation.
What the recruits tended to have in common—besides their urbanity, their cosmopolitan backgrounds, their education, their facility with languages, and their computer skills—was displacement.
This profile differs from that found among recent local (as opposed to global) Islamist suicide bombers in Afghanistan, according to a 2007 study of 110 suicide bombers by Afghan pathologist Dr. Yusef Yadgari.
Daniel Byman, a Middle East expert at the Brookings Institution, and Christine Fair, an assistant professor in peace and security studies at Georgetown University, say that many of the Islamic terrorists are foolish and untrained, perhaps even untrainable.
Fred Halliday, a British academic specialist on the Middle East, argues that most Muslims consider these acts to be egregious violations of Islam's laws.
Michael Sells and Jane I. Smith (a Professor of Islamic Studies) argues that barring some extremists like al-Qaeda, most Muslims do not interpret Qur'anic verses as promoting warfare today but rather as reflecting historically dated contexts.
Muslims living in the West denounce the September 11th attacks against United States, while Hezbollah contends that their rocket attacks against Israeli targets are defensive Jihad by a legitimate resistance movement rather than terrorism.
Huston Smith, an author on comparative religion, argued that extremists have hijacked Islam, just as has occurred periodically in Christianity, Hinduism and other religions throughout history.
Qatar-based theologian, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, criticized the 9/11 attacks but previously justified suicide bombings in Israel on the grounds of necessity and justified such attacks in 2004 against American military and civilian personnel in Iraq.
A group of Pakistani clerics of Jamaat Ahl-e-Sunnah (Barelvi movement) who were gathered for a convention denounced suicide attacks and beheadings as un-Islamic in a unanimous resolution.
On July 2, 2013 in Lahore, 50 Muslim scholars of the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) issued a collective fatwa against suicide bombings, the killing of innocent people, bomb attacks, and targeted killings.
The bombers, and their sympathizers often believe that suicide bombers, as martyrs (shaheed) to the cause of jihad against the enemy, will receive the rewards of paradise for their actions.
Along with bombings and hijackings, Islamic terrorists have made extensive use of highly publicised kidnappings and executions, often circulating videos of the acts for use as propaganda.
In the 1980s, a series of abductions of American citizens by Hezbollah during the Lebanese Civil War resulted in the 1986 Iran–Contra affair.
During the chaos of the Iraq War, more than 200 kidnappings foreign hostages (for various reasons and by various groups, including purely criminal) gained great international notoriety, even as the great majority (thousands) of victims were Iraqis.
In 2007, the kidnapping of Alan Johnston by Army of Islam resulted in the British government meeting a Hamas member for the first time.
Islamist militants, including Boko Haram, Hamas, al-Qaeda and the ISIS, have used kidnapping as a method of fundraising, as a means of bargaining for political concessions, and as a way of intimidating potential opponents.
He also deems hostage taking as an effective technique for cowing a population by making governments appear weak and by inspiring fear of opposing the Islamists.
In September 2014, the German Foreign Ministry reported that the Islamist militant group Abu Sayyaf had kidnapped two German nationals and was threatening to kill them unless the German government withdraw its support for the war against ISIS and also pay a large ransom.
In September 2014 an Islamist militant group kidnapped a French national in Algeria and threatened to kill the hostage unless the government of France withdrew its support for the war against ISIS.
According to the International Business Times, in October, 2014 the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) released a five-point justification of its right to take non-Muslims hostage, and decapitate, ransom or enslave them.
The article showed that from a somewhat haphazard beginning in 2003, kidnapping grew into the group's main fundraising strategy, with targeted, professional kidnapping of civilians from wealthy European countries—principally France, Spain and Switzerland—willing to pay huge ransoms.
For example, in the spring of 2013, Boko Haram kidnapped and within 2 months released a French family of 7 and 9 other hostages in exchange for a payment by the French government of $3.15 million.
In March, upon receiving payment from the government of Spain, ISIS released 2 Spanish hostages working for the newspaper El Mundo, correspondent Javier Espinosa and photographer Ricardo Garcia Vilanova, who had been held since September, 2013.
According to psychologist Irwin Mansdorf, Hamas demonstrated effectiveness of kidnapping as a form of psychological warfare in the 2006 capture of the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit when public pressure forced the government of Israel to release 1027 prisoners, including 280 convicted of terrorism by Israel, in exchange for his release.
In the beginning of the 21st century, emerged a worldwide network of hundreds of web sites that inspire, train, educate and recruit young Muslims to engage in jihad against the United States and other Western countries, taking less prominent roles in mosques and community centers that are under scrutiny.
In 2006, the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) defeated Somali warlords which resulted in an armed jihadist movement controlling a territory of their own.
In 2017, the EUISS noted an increased frequency of jihadist violence in an arc extending across borders from the Red Sea to the Gulf of Guinea.
The Armed Islamic Group, active in Algeria between 1992 and 1998, was one of the most violent Islamic terrorist groups, and is thought to have takfired the Muslim population of Algeria.
In recent years it has been eclipsed by a splinter group, the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), now called Al-Qaeda Organization in the Islamic Maghreb.
In January 2016, terrorists from Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) shot and killed 30 people at the Splendid Hotel in Ougadougou.
The terrorist organisation Ansar ul Islam is active in Burkina Faso and has conducted assassinations, looting, attacks on police and has closed hundreds of schools.
On 17 November 1997, a splinter group of the al-Jama'a al-Islamiyya, an Egyptian Islamist organization, carried out the Luxor massacre where 62 people were killed.
On December 29, 2017 in Cairo, a gunman opened fire at the Coptic Orthodox Church of Saint Menas and a nearby shop owned by a Coptic man.
Ten citizens and a police officer were killed around ten people were injured in the attack which was claimed by the Islamic state.
After Al-Shabaab abducted foreign aid workers and tourists in Kenya, Kenyan troops were sent to Somalia in October 2011 to pursue al-Shabab militants.
In the wake of the intervention, Kenya has suffered a number of attacks carried out both by al-Shabaab militants as well as Kenyan Muslim recruited by radical clerics in North-Eastern and Coast provinces.
While Morocco is generally seen as a secure destination for tourists as the last terrorist attack happened in 2011 where 17 people were killed by bomb at a restaurant in Marrakesh, over 1600 people have travelled from Morocco to join the Islamic State in the Syrian Civil War.
Moroccan authorities initially ignored the people who joined ISIS but later on realised they could return to commit terrorist offences in Morocco.
In the 2013–2017 period anti-terrorist authorities in Morocco, in cooperation with their counterparts in Spain, conducted up to eleven joint operations against jihadist cells and networks.
In 2017 it was estimated that Moroccans and 2000 Moroccan-Europeans had travelled to join the Islamic State caliphate in the Syrian Civil War, which along with other fighters from MENA countries contributed a significant force to ISIS.
According to a researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies, Moroccan authorities appear to have a good grip on the jihadist situation and cooperates with European and US authorities.
For example, two Moroccans were behind the 2017 London Bridge attack and a Moroccan killed people by driving his van into pedestrians in La Rambla in the 2017 Barcelona terrorist attacks.
Boko Haram is an Islamic extremist group based in northeastern Nigeria which began violent attacks in 2009, also active in Chad, Niger and northern Cameroon.
In the 2009–2018 period, more than 27 000 people have been killed in the fighting in the countries around Lake Chad.
Boko Haram consists of two factions, one is led by Abubakar Shekau and it uses suicide bombings and kill civilians indiscriminately.
Al-Shabaab is a militant jihadist terrorist group based in East Africa, which emerged in 2006 as the youth wing of the Islamic Courts Union.
It is a participant in the Somali Civil War, and is reportedly being used by Egypt to destabilize Ethiopia, and attracting converts from predominantly Christian Kenya.
On 11 April 2002, a Tunisian Al-Qaeda operative used a truck bomb to attack the El Ghriba synagogue on Djerba island.
The attack killed 19 people and injured 30 and was planned by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and financed by a Pakistani resident of Spain.
On 18 March 2015, three militants attacked the Bardo National Museum in the Tunisian capital city of Tunis, and took hostages.
The government blamed the IMU (Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan) for training those responsible for carrying out a suicide car bombing of a police station in Khujand on September 3, 2010.
On February 16, 1999, six car bombs exploded in Tashkent, killing 16 and injuring more than 100, in what may have been an attempt to assassinate President Islam Karimov.
Furkat Kasimovich Yusupov was arrested in the first half of 2004, and charged as the leader of a group that had carried out the March 28 bombing on behalf of Hizb ut-Tahrir.
Foreign commentators on Uzbek affairs speculated that the 2004 violence could have been the work of the IMU, Al-Qaeda, Hizb ut-Tahrir, or some other radical Islamic organization.
The organization was officially banned in February 2005 after attacks on NGOs, but struck back in August when 300 bombs were detonated almost simultaneously throughout Bangladesh, targeting Shahjalal International Airport, government buildings and major hotels.
The Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), also called Ansar Bangla is an Islamic extremist organization in Bangladesh, implicated in crimes including some brutal attacks and murders of atheist bloggers from 2013 to 2015 and a bank heist in April 2015.
Lashkar-e-Toiba, along with Jaish-e-Mohammed, another militant group active in Kashmir are on the United States' foreign terrorist organizations list, and are also designated as terrorist groups by the United Kingdom, India, Australia and Pakistan.
The 2019 Sri Lanka Easter bombings, orchestrated by the National Thowheeth Jama'ath, were the deadliest terrorist attack in the country since its civil war ended on May 16, 2009.
The Abu Sayyaf Group, also known as al-Harakat al-Islamiyya, is one of several militant Islamic-separatist groups based in and around the southern islands of the Philippines, in Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (Jolo, Basilan, and Mindanao) where for almost 30 years various Muslim groups have been engaged in an insurgency for a state, independent of the predominantly Christian Philippines.
The U.S. Department of State has branded the group a terrorist entity by adding it to the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
On November 13, 2015 the French capital suffered a series of coordinated attacks, claimed by ISIS, that killed 129 people in restaurants, the Bataclan theatre and the Stade de France.
In 2009, a Europol report showed that more than 99% of terrorist attacks in Europe over the last three years were, carried out by non-Muslims.
Swedish economist Tino Sanandaji has criticised the use of statistics where the number of attacks are counted instead of the number of killed, since 79% of terrorist deaths 2001–2011 in Europe were due to Islamic terrorism.
Therefore, statistics focusing on the number of attacks instead of the number killed are exploited by those who wish to trivialise the phenomenon.
The great difference in the number of attacks versus the number of killed is that separaist attacks in Spain, typically involve vandalism and not killing.
So in statistics, the global terrorist plot leading to the 9/11 attack and a party headquarters being vandalised and painted with slogans by domestic terrorists each count as one terrorist attack.
The majority of deaths by terrorism in Europe from 2001 to 2014 were caused by Islamic terrorism, even while not including Islamic terrorist attacks in Russia.
According to the British think tank ICSR, up to 40% of terrorist plots in Europe are part-financed through petty crime such as drug-dealing, theft, robberies, loan fraud and burglaries.
The pattern of jihadist attacks in 2017 led Europol to conclude that terrorists preferred to attack ordinary people rather than causing property damage or loss of capital.
The agency's report also noted that jihadist attacks had caused more deaths and casualties than any other type of terrorist attack, that such attacks had become more frequent, and that there had been a decrease in the sophistication and preparation of the attacks.
According to Susanne Schröter, the 2017 attacks in European countries showed that the military defeat of the Islamic State did not mean the end of Islamist violence.
Schröter also wrote that the events in Europe looked like a delayed implementation of jihadist strategy formulated by Abu Musab al-Suri in 2005, where an intensification of terror should destabilise societies and encourage Muslim youth to revolt.
In the 1990s Belgium was a transit country for Islamist terrorist groups like the Armed Islamic Group of Algeria (GIA) and the Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group (GICM).
In June 2016, with 451 fighters having travelled to join the Syrian Civil War, Belgium had the highest number of foreign fighters per capita.
The overall leader of that terrorist cell was believed to be Mohamed Belkaid, an Islamic State operative from Algeria who previously had lived in Sweden.
Belkaid was killed in a shootout in the Foret district of Brussels, during which Belkaid was firing on police to allow Salah Abdeslam to escape.
Salah Abdeslam was arrested a few days later and the surviving members of the cell, including brothers Najim Laachraoui and Khalid and Ibrahim Bakraoui (previously armed robbers) launched the 2016 Brussels bombings targeting Brussels airport and metro killing 32.
In the 2015–2018 timespan in France, 249 people been killed in terrorist attacks and 928 wounded in a total of 22 terrorist attacks.
The deadly attacks in 2015 in France changed the issue of Islamist radicalization from a security threat to also constitute a social problem.
Although jihadists in the 2015-onward timeframe legitimized their attacks with a narrative of reprisal for France's participation in the international coalition fighting the Islamic State, Islamic terrorism in France has other, deeper and older causes.
Despite its proximity to the Middle East and North Africa, relatively porous borders, and a large influx of migrants from Muslim majority countries, Italy has not experienced the same surge in radicalization as other European countries.
Just 125 individuals with ties to Italy left to join jihadist groups, compared with Belgium's 470 and Sweden's 300 such individuals in the same period from their much smaller populations.
Two individuals born in Italy have been involved in terrorist attacks, Youssef Zaghba one of the trio of attackers in the June 2017 London Bridge attack while ISIS sympathizer Tomasso Hosni attacked soldiers at Milan's Central station in May 2017.
This measure is particularly effective because in Italy, unlike in other Western European countries, many radicalized Muslims are first-generation immigrants without Italian citizenship.
As elsewhere in Europe prison inmates show signs of radicalization while incarcerated and in 2018 41 individuals were deported upon release.
The vast majority of the deportees come from North Africa, with most of the deportees come from Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt.
In 2012, two men were sentenced in Oslo to seven and a half years in jail for an attack against Mohammad-cartoonist Kurt Westergaard.
A third man was freed from the accusation of terrorism, but was sentenced for helping with explosives and he received a fourth month prison sentence.
Politically and religiously motivated attacks on civilians in Russia have been traced to separatist sentiment among the largely Muslim population of its North Caucasus region, particularly in Chechnya, where the central government of the Russian Federation has waged two bloody wars against the local secular separatist government since 1994.
In the Moscow theater hostage crisis in October 2002, three Chechen separatist groups took an estimated 850 people hostage in the Russian capital; at least 129 hostages died during the storming by Russian special forces, all but one killed by the chemicals used to subdue the attackers (whether this attack would more properly be called a nationalist rather than an Islamist attack is in question).
In the September 2004 Beslan school hostage crisis more than 1,000 people were taken hostage after a school in the Russian republic of North Ossetia–Alania was seized by a pro-Chechen multi-ethnic group aligned to Riyad-us Saliheen Brigade of Martyrs; hundreds of people died during the storming by Russian forces.
Since 2000, Russia has also experienced a string of suicide bombings that killed hundreds of people in the Caucasian republics of Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia, as well as in Russia proper including Moscow.
Responsibility for most of these attacks were claimed by either Shamil Basayev's Islamic-nationalist rebel faction or, later, by Dokka Umarov's pan-Islamist movement Caucasus Emirate which is aiming to unite most of Russia's North Caucasus as an emirate since its creation in 2007.
Since the creation of the Caucasus Emirate, the group has abandoned its secular nationalist goals and fully adopted the ideology of Salafist-takfiri Jihadism which seeks to advance the cause of Allah on the earth by waging war against the Russian government and non-Muslims in the North Caucasus, such as the local Sufi Muslim population, whom they view as mushrikeen (polytheists) who do not adhere to true Islamic teachings.
In 1996, the Armed Islamic Group of Algeria (GIA), an organisation affiliated with al-Qaeda, founded a cell in the province of Valencia.
In the 1995–2003 period, slightly over 100 people were arrested for offences releated to militant salafism, an average of 12 per year.
In 2004, Madrid commuters suffered the 2004 Madrid train bombings, which were perpetrated by remnants of the first al-Qaeda cell, members of the Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group (GICM) plus a gang of criminals turned into jihadists.
In the period 2004–2012, the there were 470 arrests, an average of 52 per year and four times the pre-Madrid bombings average which indicated that the jihadist threat persisted after the Madrid attack.
In the years after the Madrid attack, 90% of all jihadists convicted in Spain were foreigners, mainly from Morocco, Pakistan and Algeria, while 7 out of 10 resided in the metropolitan areas of Madrid or Barcelona.
The vast majority were involved in cells linked to organisations such as al-Qaeda, the GICM, the Algerian salafist group Group for Preaching and Combat which had replaced the GIA, and Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan.
Arrests 2013–2017 show that 4 out of 10 arrested were Spanish nationals and 3 out of 10 were born in Spain.
Most others had Morocco as country of nationality or birth with its main focus among Moroccan descendants residing in the North African cities of Ceuta and Melilla.
In 2017, a terrorist cell based in the province of Bacelona carried out the vehicle ramming 2017 Barcelona attacks, even if their original plans were on a larger scale.
In the 2000s, Islamists in Sweden were not primarily seeking to commit attacks in Sweden, but were rather using Sweden as a base of operations against other countries and for providing logistical support for groups abroad.
In 2010, Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, an Iraqi-born Swedish citizen, attempted to kill Christmas shoppers in Stockholm in the 2010 Stockholm bombings.
According to investigations by FBI, the bombing would likely have killed between 30 and 40 people had it succeeded, and it is thought that al-Abdaly operated with a network.
In April 2017 Rakhmat Akilov, a 39-year-old rejected asylum seeker born in the Soviet Union and a citizen of Uzbekistan, drove a truck down a pedestrian area in Stockholm and killed five people and injured dozens of others in the 2017 Stockholm truck attack.
Historians have said that militant Islamism first gained ground among Kurds before its appeal grew among ethnic Turks and that the two most important radical Islamist organizsations have been an outgrowth of Kurdish Islamism rather than Turkish Islamism.
The Turkish or Kurdish Hizbullah is a primarily Kurdish group has its roots in the predominantly Kurdish southeast of Turkey and among Kurds who migrated to the cities in Western Turkey.
The members of the IBDA-C were predominantly Kurds, most members if not all are ethnic Kurds like its founder, as in the Hizbullah.
Kurdish and Turkish Islamists have also co-operated together, one example being the 2003 Istanbul bombings, and this co-operation has also been observed in Germany, as in the case of the Sauerland terror cell.
Also many Kurds from Iraq (there are about 50,000 to 80,000 Iraqi Kurds in Germany) financially supported Kurdish-Islamist groups like Ansar al Islam.
Before 2006, the German Islamist scene was dominated by Iraqi Kurds and Palestinians, but since 2006 Kurds and Turks from Turkey are dominant.
Hezbollah in Turkey (unrelated to the Shia Hezbollah in Lebanon) is a Sunni terrorist group accused of a series of attacks, including the November 2003 bombings of two synagogues, the British consulate in Istanbul and HSBC bank headquarters that killed 58.
Islamic Party of Kurdistan and Hereketa İslamiya Kurdistan are also Islamist groups active against Turkey, however unlike Hizbullah they're yet to be listed as active terrorist organizations in Turkey by Turkish police counter-terrorism.
The area that has seen some of the worst terror attacks in modern history has been Iraq as part of the Iraq War.
In 2006, almost half of all reported terrorist attacks in the world (6,600), and more than half of all terrorist fatalities (13,000), occurred in Iraq, according to the National Counterterrorism Center of the United States.
Along with nationalist groups and criminal, non-political attacks, the Iraqi insurgency includes Islamist insurgent groups, such as Al-Qaeda in Iraq, who favor suicide attacks far more than non-Islamist groups.
Hamas's armed wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, was established in mid 1991 and claimed responsibility for numerous attacks against Israelis, principally suicide bombings and rocket attacks.
Hamas has been accused of sabotaging the Israeli-Palestine peace process by launching attacks on civilians during Israeli elections to anger Israeli voters and facilitate the election of harder-line Israeli candidates.
Hamas has been designated as a terrorist group by Canada, the United States, Israel, Australia, Japan, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights and Human Rights Watch.
Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine is a Palestinian Islamist group based in the Syrian capital, Damascus, and dedicated to waging jihad to eliminate the state of Israel.
Popular Resistance Committees is a coalition of a number of armed Palestinian groups opposed to what they regard as the conciliatory approach of the Palestinian Authority and Fatah towards Israel.
The PRC has carried out several attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers including hundreds of shooting attacks and other rocket and bombing attacks.
Other groups linked with Al-Qaeda operate in the Gaza Strip including: Army of Islam, Abdullah Azzam Brigades, Jund Ansar Allah, Jaljalat and Tawhid al-Jihad.
Its leaders were inspired by the Ayatollah Khomeini, and its forces were trained and organized by a contingent of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Hezbollah, which started with only a small militia, has grown to an organization with seats in the Lebanese government, a radio and a satellite television-station, and programs for social development.
They maintain strong support among Lebanon's Shi'a population, and gained a surge of support from Lebanon's broader population (Sunni, Christian, Druze) immediately following the 2006 Lebanon War, and are able to mobilize demonstrations of hundreds of thousands.
Hezbollah along with some other groups began the 2006–2008 Lebanese political protests in opposition to the government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora.
A later dispute over Hezbollah preservation of its telecoms network led to clashes and Hezbollah-led opposition fighters seized control of several West Beirut neighborhoods from Future Movement militiamen loyal to Fouad Siniora.
A national unity government was formed in 2008, in Lebanon, giving Hezbollah and its opposition allies control of 11 of 30 cabinets seats; effectively veto power.
Hezbollah receives its financial support from the governments of Iran and Syria, as well as donations from Lebanese people and foreign Shi'as.
The United States, Canada, Israel, Bahrain, France, Gulf Cooperation Council, and the Netherlands regard Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, while the United Kingdom, the European Union and Australia consider only Hezbollah's military wing or its external security organization to be a terrorist organization.
Many consider it, or a part of it, to be a terrorist group responsible for blowing up the American embassy and later its annex, as well as the barracks of American and French peacekeeping troops and dozens of kidnappings of foreigners in Beirut.
In the Arab and Muslim worlds, on the other hand, Hezbollah is regarded as a legitimate and successful resistance movement that drove both Western powers and Israel out of Lebanon.
It was formed in November 2006, by fighters who broke off from the pro-Syrian Fatah al-Intifada, itself a splinter group of the Palestinian Fatah movement, and is led by a Palestinian fugitive militant named Shaker al-Abssi.
The group's members have been described as militant jihadists, and the group itself has been described as a terrorist movement that draws inspiration from al-Qaeda.
Its stated goal is to reform the Palestinian refugee camps under Islamic sharia law, and its primary targets are the Lebanese authorities, Israel and the United States.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) reported that terrorist radicalization at home is now the chief preoccupation of Canada's spy agency.
The most notorious arrest in Canada's fight on terrorism, was the 2006 Ontario terrorism plot in which 18 Al-Qaeda-inspired cell members were arrested for planning a mass bombing, shooting, and hostage taking terror plot throughout Southern Ontario.
Between 1993 and 2001, the major attacks or attempts against U.S. interests stemmed from militant Islamic jihad extremism except for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed in New York City, Washington, DC, and Stonycreek Township near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, during the September 11 attacks organized by 19 al-Qaeda members and largely perpetrated by Saudi nationals, sparking the War on Terror.
Former CIA Director Michael Hayden considers homegrown terrorism to be the most dangerous threat and concern faced by American citizens today.
As of July 2011, there have been 52 homegrown jihadist extremist plots or attacks in the United States since the September 11 attacks.
Omar Mateen, in an act motivated by the terrorist group Islamic State, shot and murdered 49 people and wounded more than 50 in a gay nightclub, Pulse, in Orlando, Florida.
The 1992 attack on Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, was a suicide bombing attack on the building of the Israeli embassy of Argentina, located in Buenos Aires, which was carried out on 17 March 1992.
An incident from 1994, known as the AMIA bombing, was an attack on the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina (Argentine Israelite Mutual Association) building in Buenos Aires.
A suicide bomber drove a Renault Trafic van bomb loaded with about of ammonium nitrate fertilizer and fuel oil explosive mixture, into the Jewish Community Center building located in a densely constructed commercial area of Buenos Aires.
Prosecutors Alberto Nisman and Marcelo Martínez Burgos formally accused the government of Iran of directing the bombing, and the Hezbollah militia of carrying it out.
The prosecution claimed that Argentina had been targeted by Iran after Buenos Aires' decision to suspend a nuclear technology transfer contract to Tehran.
On 18 January 2015, Nisman was found dead at his home in Buenos Aires, one day before he was scheduled to report on his findings, with supposedly incriminating evidence against high-ranking officials of the then-current Argentinian government including former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
Al-Qaeda's stated aim is the use of jihad to defend and protect Islam against Zionism, Christianity, Hinduism, the secular West, and Muslim governments such as Saudi Arabia, which it sees as insufficiently Islamic and too closely tied to the United States.
Formed by Osama bin Laden and Muhammad Atef in the aftermath of the Soviet–Afghan War in the late 1980s, al-Qaeda called for the use of violence against civilians and military of the United States and any countries that are allied with it.
Founded in 1845, it counts among the premier medical institutions in India and one of the oldest institutions teaching Western medicine in Asia.
The college accepts 250 students annually for the undergraduate degree and around 100 annually for the various postgraduate degrees in medicine.
the hospital has combined bed strength of 2844 and caters to an annual load of 1,200,000 out-patients and 80,000 in-patients, from all parts of Maharashtra and central India.
Its clinical affiliate is Sir Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy Group of Hospitals: a conglomerate of four hospitals in South Bombay that include the Sir J. J.
Under the guidance of Mountstuart Elphinstone attempts were made to offer Indians an opportunity to learn and practice Medicine along western lines.
In 1826, a medical school was started with surgeon John McLennan as the superintendent of the Indian (native) medical school around Azad Maidan in southern Bombay.
He directed his attention to the expediency of establishing a systematic institution in the city for imparting medical knowledge to the, which would be more complete, comprehensive and better planned than the previously abolished medical school.
As he struggled and strove to push through his ambition for a wisely planned medical college in Bombay, he met strong opposition.
To quell the opposition Grant envisaged the formation of the first medical society in India, The Medical and Physical Society of Bombay.
It was a society that would bring together the medical officers of the Bombay Presidency and encourage a spirit of scientific enquiry.
It was due to efforts of Charles Morehead (the then surgeon) to the governor that this society came into existence in November 1835.
Grant developed a proposal in March 1838 in which the subject of medical education of Indians of this presidency was fully discussed in detail.
The East India Company, as conveyed in its letter dated 18 July 1838, happily endorsed the proposal for a medical college.
However, nine days before the arrival of this news, Grant succumbed to an attack of cerebral apoplexy while vacationing in Dapori, near Pune.
The Sanskrit scholar Jagannath Shankarsheth proposed that it would be a fitting tribute that the medical college should be established and that it should bear his name.
The foundation stone was laid on 3 January 1843 and the School of Practice was opened for reception of the sick from 15 May 1845.
In 1845, admittance to the college was accorded without exception for caste or creed to candidates between the ages of 16 and 20 with respectable connection and general intelligence; grammatical knowledge of their vernacular language, arithmetic including Rules of Proportion and a thorough knowledge of English with fluency was expected.
Each candidate was required to present a certificate of good conduct from the headmaster of the school in which he had studied and also one expressly stating that he was possessed of the necessary information and capable of undergoing the examination proposed.
The first professors of Grant Medical College were Charles Morehead, M.D., FRCS, Professor of the Institute of Practice of Medicine, Dr. John Peet, M.D., FRCS, Professor of Anatomy and Surgery and Dr. Herbert John Giraud, M.D., Professor of Chemistry and Materia Medica.
In following years, however, it became so good that students declined to take advantage of holidays but preferred to attend classes.
In 1860, Grant Medical College became one of the four colleges recognized by it for teaching courses leading to degrees (others being Elphinstone College, Deccan College and Government Law College, Mumbai).
To continue to provide effective instruction training at the bedside of patients, the Gokuldas Tejpal Hospital was used as a teaching center in the subjects of Medicine and Surgery in 1924.
It was here that Christopher and Caval worked on malaria and Dr. Raghavendra Rao worked in on tropical diseases, leprosy, plague and leishmaniasis.
In 1930 it was remodeled by Sir J. Duggan in a three-storeyed building remodeled it for which Sir Cowasjee Jehangir, Third Baronet, donated a large sum.
During the early 1900s all prestigious professional posts were held by British I.M.S. officers, while Indians were given only non-clinical appointments.
Today it is spread over 44 acres (178,000 m²) in Byculla with 14 gates, a long jump from the two-room teaching hospital in an area of .
The present campus, the largest of any of the Medical Colleges in Mumbai, is spread out over in the Byculla area of South Mumbai.
With gradual additions and expansions since its initial foundation, the campus has a mix of buildings depicting both modern Indian and Colonial architecture.
As the campus expanded it incorporated hospitals that were originally independent before being absorbed into J.J. Hospital and thus retain some of their older names, notably: C.J.
In addition to the main campus situated at Byculla, it also has a sea facing gymkhana at marine drive in south Mumbai.
The Research Society started functioning in 1965 in the Skin & Serology Department building on the second floor with an office and research library and a proposed space for a research laboratory.This proposal has not been entertained so far .
The founder members were Dr. J. G. Parekh, Dr. S. J. Shah, Dr. V. C. Talwalkar, Dr. J.C. Joshipura and Dr. B.
The center of Kallithea (Davaki Square) lies at a distance of to the south of the Athens city center (Syntagma Square) and to the north-east of the Piraeus (photo 1).
Kallithea extends from the Filopappou and Sikelia hills in the north to Phaleron Bay in the south ; its two other sides consist of Syngrou Avenue to the east (border to the towns of Nea Smyrni and Palaio Faliro), and the Ilisos River to the west (border to the towns of Tavros and Moschato) (photo 2).
The site on which the city was developed covers the biggest part of the area to the south of Athens city center, protected in ancient times (5th century BC) by the Long Walls to the west and the Phalerum Wall to the east (photo 3).
On the longitudinal axis of the town (Thiseos Avenue), the Athens to Phaleron tramway once ran, from the beginning (1850) to (1955) and the end of its operations.
Near the center of the town the Shooting Range (Skopeftirion) was built to house events of the first modern Olympic Games, the 1896 Summer Olympics, and these first modern games took place in three venues: the refurbished ancient stadium of Athens (Panathinaiko Stadium) NE of Kallithea, the Neo Phaliron Velodrome (currently Karaiskaki Stadium) SW of Kallithea, and the Kallithea Shooting Range (Skopeftirion).
Events of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games were also sited in the district of Kallithea, notably handball and Taekwondo in the new Sports Pavilion (Faliro) by the bottom of Syngrou Avenue, and beach volleyball in the Olympic Beach Volleyball Center on Kallithea Bay (Tzitzifies).
Initially the tramway depot and workshop were built here in 1910, followed by the Harokopios Graduate School (1925) and the Panteios Graduate School of Political Sciences (1928).
In the 1920s the town was flooded by thousands of refugees following the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922), the Asia Minor Catastrophe (1922), and the Treaty of Lausanne (1923).
These refugees arrived in Kallithea mainly from the south Black Sea (Pontus), from ancient Greek cities such as Sinope (now Sinop, Turkey), Sampsus (now Samsun, Turkey), Kerasus (now Giresun, Turkey), Trapezous-Trebizond (now Trabzon, Turkey), Tripolis (now Tirebolu, Turkey), Argyroupolis (now Gümüshane, Turkey) and other remnants of the late Byzantine Empire.
A few had arrived earlier (1919) from the north and east (Russian) coasts of the Black Sea, from places such as Odessos (Odessa), Marioupolis (Mariupol', the Sea of Azov) and elsewhere, after the failed attempt of the western allies (Greece included) against the young Bolshevik state during the Russian Civil War.
Black Sea immigrants of Greek origin also settled in Kallithea in the 1930s, as a result of the change of Soviet policy toward ethnic groups.
The first refugees settled originally near the site of the first Olympic shooting range (1896), until they were gradually transferred to new dwellings.
After its evacuation the building bound with the shooting range served as a school, until the Nazi Occupation of 1941, when it was converted to a prison.
The prison of Kallithea was demolished in 1966 ;among others, fighters of the Greek Resistance and victims of the Greek Civil War had been jailed there, such as Nikos Beloyannis.
In the 1990s, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, a new wave of Greek immigrants arrived in Kallithea from the east coast of the Black Sea, from the Caucasus highlands in Georgia, as well as from distant Greek settlements in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan where their Black Sea Greek ancestors were expelled during Joseph Stalin's regime in the 1930s.
Popular composers and singers once performed here ; Markos Vamvakaris, Vassilis Tsitsanis, Yannis Papaioannou, Marika Ninou, Sotiria Bellou, Manolis Chiotis, Mary Linda, Giorgos Zampetas, Stelios Kazantzidis, Marinella, Poly Panou, and Viki Moscholiou.
Until 2004, south Kallithea (Tzitzifies) housed the only horse track in Greece (Ippodromos - Hippodrome), which later moved to Markopoulon, near Eleftherios Venizelos Airport.
Kallithea houses numerous cultural associations and several sport clubs, the most well known of which are Kallithea FC (soccer), Esperos (basketball, volleyball, handball, and also soccer in an earlier period) and Ikaros Kallitheas, a multisport club founded in 1991, originally as Ikaros Nea Smyrni.
The main roads of Kallithea are Andrea Syngrou Avenue towards eastern Athens and Poseidonos Avenue towards Piraeus and the southern suburbs.
Kallithea is served by Metro line 1 stations Kallithea and Tavros, by the tram stations Kallithea and Tzitzifies, and numerous bus and trolley-bus linesconnect Kallithea to almost every destination in metropolitan Athens.
Of the rest of the land, 2.8% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (0.6%) is non-productive (rivers or lakes).
It consists of the village of Krinau and the hamlets of Altschwil, Au, Dreischlatt, Gurtberg, Schuflenberg, Krinäuli, Niederberg, Kapf and Gruben.
Krinau had a population (as of 2011) of 260. , about 5.9% of the population was made up of foreign nationals.

It is surrounded by the Cresaptown CDP and prior to 2010 was listed by the Census Bureau as part of the Cresaptown-Bel Air CDP.
The inhabitants of this region were a portion of the Shawanese tribe, a sub-division of the Algonquian group, one of the most warlike combinations of that period.
The warriors engaged in hunting and fishing for food and furs, while their families were left at home to tend the maize and grass that grew in the rich soil of the Potomac valley.
The maize was ground into corn meal and made into Shawnee cake, a popular diet of the Shawnees living in the valley.
The Shawanees in the valley lived in shelters composed of two forked posts that were driven into the ground, and on these was laid a ridge pole.
Small saplings, cut to a length of about , were laid against the pole, one end resting on the ground, forming a shelter similar to a V-shaped tent.
Retainer families of formerly defeated provincial strongmen like Takeda, Hōjō, or Imagawa were included, as were branch families of feudal lords.
The hatamoto remained retainers of the main Tokugawa clan after the fall of the shogunate in 1868, and followed the Tokugawa to their new domain of Shizuoka.
Famous hatamoto include Jidayu Koizumi, Nakahama Manjirō, Ōoka Tadasuke, Tōyama Kagemoto, Katsu Kaishū, Enomoto Takeaki, Hijikata Toshizō and the two Westeners William Adams and Jan Joosten.
Hatamoto patronized the development of the martial arts in the Edo period; many of them were involved in the running of dojo in the Edo area and elsewhere.
This story recounts Shaeffer's reunion with a ghostwriter whom Shaeffer had used to write about his adventures at the neutron star and at the core, Ander Smittarasheed.
Ander, working for ARM agent Sigmund Ausfaller, has come to question him about his dealings with Pierson's Puppeteers, General Products and Carlos Wu, as well as what happened to Wu and ARM agent Feather Filip.
Wu, Shaeffer and Sharrol Janss and their children, Tanya and Louis Wu, had secretly emigrated from Earth to the planet Fafnir to escape the control of Earth's United Nations government and the ARM.

He also has an MA and a ScD from the University of Cambridge and Honorary DScs from Nottingham (1994), York (2001) and St Andrews (2007).
His research into the control of pregnancy, birth and lactation led to important contributions in endocrine physiology and farm animal breeding.
He was the Master of St Edmund's College, University of Cambridge from 1996 until 2004 and has been a Special Professor in Animal Physiology at the University of Nottingham since 1988 until 2016.
He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1989, and held the post of Royal Society Vice President and Foreign Secretary from 1996 to 2001.
He is a founder member of the International Society for Science and Religion and an Associate of the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion.
Her papers and research materials were donated to the Cuban Heritage Collection - the largest repository of materials on or about Cuba located outside of Cuba - forming part of the library of the University of Miami.
In El Monte, Cabrera fully described the major Afro-Cuban religions: Regla de Ocha (commonly known as Santeria) and Ifá, which are both derived from traditional Yoruba religion; and Palo Monte, which originated in Central Africa.
She is credited by literary critics for having transformed Afro-Cuban oral narratives into literature, which is, written works of art, while anthropologists rely on her accounts of oral information collected during interviews with santeros, babalawos, and paleros, and on her descriptions of religious ceremonies.
There is a dialectical relationship between Afro-Cuban religious writing and Cabrera's work; she used a religious writing tradition that has now internalized her own ethnography.
Born in Havana in 1899 as the youngest of eight siblings, Cabrera came from a family of high socio-economic status in Cuba.
Her father was also the president of the first Cuban corporation, La Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País, founded in the eighteenth century.
The family had many Afro-Cuban servants and child caretakers, through whom young Lydia learned about African folklore, stories, tradition, and religions.
Like the majority of wealthy Cubans in the early 1900s, the family had private tutors who came to the home of the Cabreras to educate the children.
At that time it was not socially acceptable for a woman to pursue a high school diploma, so Cabrera finished her secondary education on her own.
She moved to Paris to study art and religion at L'Ecole du Louvre She studied drawing and painting in Paris with theatrical Russian exile Alexandra Exter.
After graduating from Ecole du Louvre, she did not become an artist as expected, instead moving back to Cuba to study Afro-Cuban culture, especially their traditions and folklore.
Secondly she was influenced by her studies in Paris, where she began to see the large influence that African art had on Cuban art.
Thirdly she had as a companion Teresa de la Parra, a Venezuelan novelist and socialite whom she met while studying in Europe, and who enjoyed reading Cuban books with her.
She moved to a ranch, La Quinta San Jose, in the suburb of Havana, Marianao, located just outside the barrio Pogolotti where she conducted most her research on Afro-Cuban culture.
Since they did not accept women as members, Cabrera relied on the use of interviews to gain information for her book.
Somehow she managed to photograph their sacred drum, which is supposed to remain hidden at all times, to include within her research.
Through the use of imagery and storytelling in her work, she seeks to retell the history of the Cuban people through the Afro-Cuban lens.
Here, she is connecting Afro-Cuban tales with African rituals because it is important to celebrate birth, passage to adulthood, marriage, and death.
She left as an exile, first going to Madrid and later settling in Miami, FL., where she remained the rest of her life.
She recreated and altered elements, characters, and themes of African and universal folklore, but she also modified the traditional stories by adding details of Cuban customs of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Toward the last years of her life, Lydia Cabrera worked diligently to edit and publish the many notes she had collected during more than thirty years of research in Cuba.
Others claim she left because members of the Abakuá were hunting her down since she had made their secret society public.
Although the reason why she left is unknown, she never returned and spent the rest of her life living in Miami until her death in September 19, 1991.
Christian terrorists justify their violent tactics through their interpretation of the Bible, in accordance with their own objectives and world view.
Christian terrorist groups include paramilitary organizations, cults and loose collections of people that might come together to attempt to terrorize another group.
The paramilitary groups are typically tied to ethnic and political goals as well as religious ones and many of such groups have religious beliefs at odds with conventional Christianity.
Religion can be cited as the motivation for terrorism in conflicts that have a variety of ethnic, economic and political causes, such as the one in Bosnia.
In cases such as the Lord's Resistance Army or the Taiping Rebellion the beliefs of the founders differ significantly from what is recognizably Christian.
The term terrorist can also be applied for disingenuous reasons, to encourage public support for a groups vilification or allow the use of stricter laws in punishing a group or individual.
However, in 2015 a majority of Americans from both political parties thought that 'attacks on abortion providers [should] be considered domestic terrorism'.
There is, however, no record of indiscriminate violence or attempts to use terror as a religious weapon by early Christian groups.
In Europe during the Middle Ages Christian antisemitism increased and both the Reformation and Counter-Reformation led to an increase in interdenominational violence.
As with modern examples it is debated as to what extent these acts were religious as opposed to ethnic or political in nature.
The early modern period in Britain saw religious conflict resulting from the Reformation and the recusancy that emerged in opposition to it.
The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 was a failed attempt by a group of English Catholics to assassinate the Protestant King James I, and to blow up the Palace of Westminster, the English seat of government.
Although the modern concept of religious terrorism, or indeed terrorism at all, had not yet come into use in the seventeenth century, David C. Rapoport and Lindsay Clutterbuck point out that the Plot, with its use of explosives, was an early precursor of nineteenth century anarchist terrorism.
Orthodox Christian-influenced movements in Romania, such as the Iron Guard and Lăncieri, which have been characterized by Yad Vashem and Stanley G. Payne as anti-semitic and fascist, respectively, they were involved in the Bucharest pogrom and committed numerous politically-motivated murders during the 1930s.
That iteration of the Klan disappeared by the 1870s, but in 1915 a new Protestant-led iteration of the Klan was formed in Georgia, during a period of xenophobia and anti-Catholicism.
This version of the Klan vastly expanded both its geographical reach and its list of targets over those of the original Klan.
Mark Juergensmeyer, a former president of the American Academy of Religion, has argued that there has been a global rise in religious nationalism after the Cold War due to a post-colonial collapse of confidence in Western models of nationalism and the rise of globalization.
According to Rapoport, this wave most prominently features Islamic terrorism, but it also includes terrorism by Christians and other religious groups that may have been influenced by Islamic terrorism.
This can mean that they see Christianity as their identity and the main reason for their existence, partially in contrast to the identities and existence of other groups which they consider threatening and non-Christian.
All types of terrorism have a complex interrelationship with psychology and mental health, however only a minority have diagnosable medical illnesses.
This is particularly the case where both groups are from a broadly similar cultural group, for example the break up of Yugoslavia and the Lords Resistance Army in Uganda.
In situations where the opposing ethnicities are more diverse, skin color or cultural practices are also sometimes used as identifiers of the other.
For example Anders Behring Breivik, who considers himself to be 'culturally Christian', claims no strong religious beliefs, but cited saving Christian Europe as motive for his attacks.
The use of Christianity in this way serves as a legitimating device for violence and claims solidarity with a wider social group.
This cultural Christian identity is often reinforced in the mind of the terrorist by media and governmental sources that vilify the other group or amplify its threat.
The targets of this kind of terrorist motivation include other religions or denominations, but can also extend to those that the perpetrator believes to be in any way threatening, such as LGBT or any group that does not conform with the view they have of who they are.
When the opposing group is also Christian but belongs to a different denomination, it is often denounced as non-Christian or anti-Christian.
Typically as with attacks on abortion clinics or LGBT people the perpetrators use a nuanced negativity from an established Church as justification for unsanctioned acts of violence.
There are a wide variety of mental health conditions and illness, and it is quite rare for them to lead to violence.
However, one study claims that about 30% of right wing, 52% of single issue and 25% of Al Qaeda related individual terrorists and 8% of those in a terrorist group have a mental illness.
People in some terrorist groups are less likely to have a mental illness than the general population, due to the selection criteria of such groups.
It is often difficult to determine if the perpetrator acted completely alone or was inspired by a religious or political group.
He developed home made mouth gags and door jambs to restrain all patients and staff inside a clinic while he doused them with the kerosene.
According to psychiatrist Don Sendipathy, Knight interpreted the Bible in his own unique way and believed in his own brand of Christianity.
Eric Robert Rudolph carried out the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in 1996, as well as subsequent attacks on an abortion clinic and a lesbian nightclub.
Dr. George Tiller, one of the few doctors in the United States who provided abortions late in pregnancy, was a frequent target of anti-abortion violence and was killed in 2009 by Scott Roeder as he stood in the foyer of his church.
A witness who was serving as an usher alongside Dr. Tiller at the church that day told the court that Mr. Roeder entered the foyer, put a gun to the doctor's head and pulled the trigger.
Ms. Shannon was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the shooting of Dr. Tiller and later confessed to vandalizing and burning a string of abortion clinics in California, Nevada and Oregon.
James Kopp was convicted of the murder of Dr. Barnett Slepian, an obstetrician who provided abortion services in the Buffalo area, and has been named a suspect in the shooting of several abortion providers in Canada.
Mr. Kopp hid in the woods behind Dr. Slepian's home in October 1998 and shot him through the window with a high-powered rifle, killing him as he stood in his kitchen with his family.
Mr. Kopp spent several years on the run in Mexico, Ireland and France before he was captured and extradited to the United States.
The authorities in Canada also suspect Mr. Kopp in the nonlethal attacks on several abortion providers there who were shot through the windows of their homes.
He was charged with the 1995 attempted murder of Dr. Hugh Short, an abortion provider in Ontario, although the charges were dropped after his conviction in New York.
The police in Canada also named him a suspect in the 1997 shooting of Dr. Jack Fainman in Winnipeg and the 1994 shooting of Dr. Garson Romalis in Vancouver, which was the first attack on an abortion provider in Canada.
Anders Behring Breivik was convicted for the 2011 Norway attacks, in which he killed eight people by detonating a van bomb amid Regjeringskvartalet in Oslo and then shot dead 69 participants at a Workers' Youth League (AUF) summer camp on the island of Utøya, leaving 77 dead.
In 2015, Breivik claimed to be an Odinist, but Breivik and others have previously linked his religious beliefs to Christianity during the attacks.
Gary Matson and Winfield Mowder were a gay couple from Redding, California, who were murdered by Benjamin Matthew Williams and James Tyler Williams in 1999.
Neighbors said that the family was known for its fundamentalist Christian beliefs, and recordings of sermons and religious music were often heard from their house.
In 1996 three men who claimed to be Phineas priests—Charles Barbee, Robert Berry and Jay Merelle—were charged with two bank robberies and bombings at the banks, a Spokane newspaper, and a Planned Parenthood office in Washington State.
The men were anti-Semitic Christian Identity theorists who believed that God wanted them to carry out violent attacks and they also believed that such attacks would hasten the ascendancy of the Aryan race.
In 2015, Robert Doggart, a 63-year-old mechanical engineer, was indicted for solicitation to commit a civil rights violation by intending to damage or destroy religious property after communicating that he intended to amass weapons to attack Islamberg, an Islamic hamlet and religious community in Delaware County, New York.
The plea bargain was struck down by a judge because it did not contain enough facts to constitute a true threat.
The shooter's rifles were covered with white supremacist symbols and names of various historical figures and battles between Muslims and non-Muslims such as Charles Martel, Skanderbeg and Bajo Pivljanin as well as the Battle of Tours in 732 and Battle of Vienna in 1683.
The perpetrator of the Pittsburgh Tree of Life synagogue shooting Robert Bowers cited a Bible quote about Jesus Christ on the bio of his now defunct Gab account.
Similarly the Poway synagogue shooting suspect John T. Earnest also used Bible quotes to justify the attack and had burned down a mosque in Escondido, California earlier in March 2019.
After graduation with a BS degree in Journalism, he worked for a decade as a bartender in live blues bars in Dallas and Austin, Texas including Nick's Uptown, Sixth Street Live, and The Greenville Bar & Grill.
Starting in 1990 he then performed stand-up comedy for a number of years, appearing at such venues as the Dallas Improv and the Velveeta Room in Austin, Texas and appearing on shows like Evening at the Improv and Caroline's Comedy Hour.
In 1995, Hardwick appeared at the Montreal Comedy Festival, where Brandon Tartikoff saw him and offered him a sitcom for NBC.
After Hardwick signed with the Strauss-McGarr agency, he was continually booked doing stand-up comedy in both Austin and all over the United States.
Daniels and Judge felt Hardwick's Texan humor was just what the show needed and offered him a job writing for the fledgling program.
The role of Dale Gribble was originally offered to Daniel Stern, but producers were unable to agree with Stern on a salary.
Currently on his channel you will find song parodies in the voice of Dale Gribble and other videos where he just talks to the camera.
The site was originally a gas works and had first included two gas holders (built 1875), renovated in World War 2 for use as bomb shelter 'citadels' - the North Rotunda and the South Rotunda.
By the early 1960s the increasing numbers of civil servants led to the commissioning of Eric Bedford (1909–2001), chief architect for the Ministry of Public Buildings and Works, to design a headquarters building for three separate ministries, the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Public Building and Works.
His design, published in 1963, placed three twenty-storey slab blocks parallel north to south on top of a three-storey podium slab raised on stilts.
Each tower was 66 metres tall and had exposed concrete framing, being built in a new 'box-shell' system which mixed pre-cast concrete and on-site construction.
By the time the towers were complete, the three separate ministries had merged into the Department of the Environment, and having separate towers proved inefficient.
Eventually it was decided to build a replacement for the Home Office on the site and the towers were taken down in 2002–03.
The site is now occupied by Sir Terry Farrell's new building at 2 Marsham Street, which the Home Office first occupied in February 2005.
It takes two forms: physical segregation of the sexes and the requirement that women cover their bodies so as to cover their skin and conceal their form.
The usual purdah garment worn is a burqa, which may or may not include a yashmak, a veil to conceal the face.
Purdah was rigorously observed under the Taliban in Afghanistan, where women had to observe complete purdah at all times when they were in public.
Married Hindu women in parts of Northern India observe purdah, with some women wearing a ghoonghat in the presence of older male relations on their husbands' side; some Muslim women observe purdah through the wearing of a burqa.
Although purdah is commonly associated with Islam, many scholars argue that veiling and secluding women pre-dates Islam; these practices were commonly found among various groups in the Middle East such as Druze, Christian, and Jewish communities.
For instance, the burqa existed in Arabia before Islam, and the mobility of upper-class women was restricted in Babylonia, Persian, and Byzantine Empires before the advent of Islam.
Historians believe purdah was acquired by the Muslims during the expansion of the Arab Empire into modern-day Iraq in the 7th century C.E and that Islam merely added religious significance to already existing local practices of the times.
Muslim rule of northern India during the Mughal Empire influenced the practice of Hinduism, and the purdah spread to the Hindu upper classes of northern India.
The spread of purdah outside of the Muslim community can be attributed to the tendency of affluent classes to mirror the societal practices of the nobility; poor women did not observe purdah.
Lower class women in small villages often worked in fields, and therefore could not afford to abandon their work to be secluded.
In modern times, the practice of veiling and secluding women is still present in mainly Islamic countries, communities and South Asian countries.
Some scholars argue that purdah was initially designed to protect women from being harassed, but later these practices became a way to justify efforts to subjugate women and limit their mobility and freedom.
However, others argue that these practices were always in place as local custom, but were later adopted by religious rhetoric to control female behavior.
In many societies, the seclusion of women to the domestic sphere is a demonstration of higher socioeconomic status and prestige because women are not needed for manual labor outside the home.
The rationales of individual women for keeping purdah are complex and can be a combination of motivations, freely chosen or in response to social pressure or coercion: religious, cultural (desire for authentic cultural dress), political (Islamization of the society), economic (status symbol, protection from the public gaze), psychological (detachment from public sphere to gain respect), fashion and decorative purposes, and empowerment (donning veils to move in public space).
And I learned the word and its many meanings in the observed practice of the various female members of my middle-class family in Bara Banki, a small town in north India.
The little stool slung from a pole that two men carried would be brought to our back door -- the door to the zanana or the ladies' section -- and the two carriers would step away behind the curtain wall.
Ammi would wrap herself in a white sheet and squat on the flat stool, and a heavy custom-made cover would be thrown over her and the doli.
When Ammi traveled in my father's car, she covered herself the same way, while the back seat of the car where she sat was made completely invisible by pieces of cloth hung across the windows.
Hers was a two piece ‘modern' outfit, as opposed to the one-piece -- derisively called ‘the shuttlecock' by my sisters -- that was preferred by the older or more conservatively spirited in the family.
Apa’s burqa’ consisted of a skirt and a separate top throw -- one that covered her from the head to the thighs.
The top had a separate veil hanging over the face, which Apa could throw back in the company of women, e.g.
while traveling in the ladies compartment on a train, or hold partly aside to look at things more closely when she went shopping.
I should not neglect to mention that in those days -- I’m talking about the Forties -- it was considered improper even for Hindu ladies of certain classes to be seen in public with their hair and faces uncovered, particularly the married women.
Their daughters traveled to school daily in a covered wagon that was pushed by two men, just like their Muslim counterparts.
A fold of the sari is drawn over the face when the woman is in the presence of older male in-laws or in a place where there is likelihood of meeting them, e.g.
It is not worn otherwise, for example, when visiting her mother's home or in a location far from the in-laws' village.
Another important aspect of purdah is modesty for women, which includes minimizing the movement of women in public spaces and interactions of women with other males.
For instance, for some purdah might mean never leaving the home unless accompanied by a male relative, or limiting interactions to only other women and male relatives (for some Muslims) or avoiding all males outside of the immediate family (for some Hindus).
Studies have shown that in conservative rural Bangladeshi communities, adherence to purdah is positively correlated with the risk of domestic violence.
In rural Pakistan, unmarried women and girls had trouble accessing healthcare facilities even in their own villages due to purdah; all types of women had difficulty accessing facilities outside of their villages because they had to be accompanied.
Along the same vein, studies of women's contraceptive use in Bangladesh shows that women with decreased observance of purdah and increased mobility are more likely to use contraceptives.
By restricting women's mobility, purdah places severe limits on women's ability to participate in gainful employment and to attain economic independence.
The ideology of purdah constricts women in the domestic sphere for reproductive role and places men in productive role as breadwinners who move through public space.
Across countries, women from lower socioeconomic backgrounds tend to observe purdah less because they face greater financial pressures to work and gain income.
For instance, rural women in Bangladesh have been found to be less concerned with propriety and purdah, and take up work where available, migrating if they need to.
However, other studies found that purdah still plays a significant role in women's decisions to participate in the workforce, often prohibiting them from taking opportunities they would otherwise.
The degree to which women observe purdah and the pressures they face to conform or to earn income vary with their socioeconomic class.
Lack of mobility and discouragement from participating in political life means women cannot easily exercise their right to vote, run for political office, participate in trade unions, or participate in community level decision-making.
Women's limited participation in political decision-making therefore results in policies that do not sufficiently address needs and rights of women in areas such as access to healthcare, education and employment opportunities, property ownership, justice, and others.
In Tunisia and formerly Turkey, religious veiling is banned in public schools, universities, and government buildings as a measure to discourage displays of political Islam or fundamentalism.
In Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh where the word purdah is primarily used, the government has no policies either for or against veiling.
Nations such as Pakistan have been swinging to more conservative laws and policies that use rhetoric of following Islamic law, sometimes termed Islamization.
The result is policies that reinforce cultural norms that limit female mobility in the public sphere, promotion of gender segregation, and institutionalization of gender disparities.
For instance, women in Pakistan (mainly from the middle and upper-classes) organized trade unions and exercise their right to vote and influence decision making.
One major influence is the desire to be modern and keep up with the latest fashions, or refusal to do so as a source of autonomy and power.
Simultaneously, due to modernization in many urban areas, purdah and face-veiling are seen as unsophisticated and backwards, creating a trend in less strict observance of purdah.
For the Muslim South Asian diaspora living in secular non-Muslim communities such as Pakistani-Americans, attitudes about purdah have changed to be less strict.
As it pertains to education and economic opportunities, these immigrant families hold less conservative views about purdah after moving to America; for the daughters who do choose to wear the veil, they usually do so out of their own volition as a connection to their Islamic roots and culture.
In contemporary times, some men and women still interpret the purdah as a way to protect women's safety while moving in public sphere.
However, critics point out that this view engages victim-blaming and places the onus of preventing sexual assault on women rather than the perpetrators themselves.
Purdah has repeatedly been criticized as oppression of women by limiting female autonomy, freedom of movement, and access to resources such as education, employment, and political participation.
The result is policies that reinforce cultural norms that limit female mobility in the public sphere, promotion of gender segregation, and institutionalization of gender disparities.
For instance, in 2001 in Srinagar, India, four young Muslim women were victimized by acid attacks for not veiling themselves in public; similar threats and attacks have occurred in Pakistan and Kashmir.
For instance, in rural Bangladeshi villages, women who wear the burkha were found to have higher social participation and visibility, which overall contributes to an increase in women's status.
She was acquired by the Argentine Navy, renamed after the island east of Tierra del Fuego, and commissioned into the Naval Transport Service on 22 December 1980, being used to maintain a regular transport service between the Falkland Islands and the mainland.
On 28 March 1982 she sailed from Puerto Deseado to participate in Operation Rosario in the Falkland Islands, arriving on 4 April, three days after the initial landings, to provide transport around the archipelago.
Only two of the 24 men aboard survived; 15 crew members and seven servicemen (from all three armed forces plus the coast guard) were killed or missing.
In the timed race, cameras followed the teams with shopping carts through a large vacated supermarket with several aisles; the value of items thrown into the cart determined the winning team.
Revivals aired on Lifetime from February 5, 1990 to June 16, 1995 (with reruns until August 14, 1998, and on PAX from April 5, 1999 to March 31, 2000), and later from April 3, 2000 to May 23, 2003, with reruns airing until March 26, 2004.
Beginning on November 20, 2000, the show moved to NBC Studios, with that series' set modeled after a Unified Western Market.
The announcer was Johnny Gilbert from 1990 to 1995 and again from April to June 2000, with Randy West taking over for Gilbert in July 2000 and continuing for the rest of the series.
Leslie Jones will host a new version of the show on ABC, which will begin filming in the spring of 2020.
In the first round of the game, one contestant from each team was shown a grocery item and were asked to guess its retail price.
In the second round of the game, the contestant from each team who did not play the first round went on a shopping spree through the market, using the time accumulated.
All teams kept every item they picked up, with the team with the highest total in groceries, bonus prizes and other items winning the right to return to the show and play in the next game.
The game was played between three teams of two related individuals, such as a parent and child, spouses, siblings, or best friends, initially called to play by an object they were holding (in the studio audience for the Lifetime version, backstage for the PAX version).
Beginning with the Big Sweep, the team members would put on sweatshirts of the same color, with each team ranked depending on how much time they earned in the question rounds.
In the first season, the sweatshirt colors for teams 1, 2, and 3 were light blue, red, and yellow, respectively; the sweatshirt colors of teams 1 and 2 were swapped in subsequent seasons.
Through a series of three rounds, contestants were asked a series of questions, usually centered around knowledge of products found in a grocery store.
Questions included identifying a product that was missing letters, determining the brand of a product via an edited picture, and identifying a product based on a series of facts.
This was accomplished in several different ways; two popular methods included determining which item in a set of three did not fit the designated criteria (e.g.
A mainstay in the second round gave contestants the opportunity to add 30 seconds to their time banks if all three contestants gave the correct answer.
The team that correctly answered the question earned 10 seconds, as well as a chance for one team member to run into the market to retrieve a package of that product marked with the show's logo.
Failing to find the marked package, returning it after time ran out, or bringing back an unmarked package or one of an incorrect product, awarded no bonus.
Starting with the fifth season, a second Mini-Sweep was added at the beginning of the second round; while this was later discontinued as a regular feature, it would be used during special weeks on the PAX version.
The clock for the Big Sweep was set to the leading time, and it started when Team 1 was sent into the market.
In each finished episode, the footage was spliced together to create one near-real-time highlight reel, and the announcer would add a play-by-play commentary to the reel, describing the items being placed in each contestant's cart.
With the exception of certain bonuses, items had to be in a team's cart (either the runner's current one, or a full one already delivered to the checkout) when time ran out in order to count toward their total.
The product limit, which was absent in the original ABC version of the show, was added to prevent a team from overloading their carts with expensive items, such as poultry, laundry detergent or over-the-counter drugs.
The store was stocked with at least 15 items of each product, ensuring anyone could have as many of a given item as they were allowed if they chose it.
In most episodes early in the show's first season on Lifetime, costumed characters such as Frankenstein's monster, a gorilla or a creature named Mr. Yuck ran through the aisles during the Sweep.
If the character came near a contestant or vice versa, the contestant had to turn around and go in the other direction; if the contestant's cart hit the character, a penalty was also imposed..
Examples included completing a shopping list of items provided by the emcee, grinding a designated amount of coffee beans, or finding a mystery product.
Examples of bonus items were stuffed animals, giant signs, or inflatable versions of consumer products; each team could only take one such item.
Each bonus item had a sticker that disclosed its value—the maximum value of a bonus item was initially $200; later raised to $250.
Once time expired, a bell rang to signify the end of the Big Sweep and the runners had to stop whatever they were doing and return to the checkout counters.
All of the products were scanned while the show took a final commercial break, and the grand totals of each team's takes were revealed when the show returned, beginning with Team 3, and ending with Team 1.
The team with the highest score won their Sweep total in cash and advanced to the Bonus Sweep for a chance to win an additional $5,000.
In the Bonus Sweep, the winning team was sent on a treasure hunt and given 60 seconds to find three different items in succession.
Ruprecht read a clue to lead the team to the identity of the first item, and once he was done the team darted into the market to try to find it as the clock started.
The correct item was tagged with a large circular token bearing the show's logo and a clue for a second item to be found.
This item in turn had a clue for a third item, which had a bundle of $5,000 in cash hidden behind it.
In order to win, the team had to find all three items and have their hands on the money before time ran out.
Originally, if the team found the final product and the $5,000 before either of the other two, they automatically forfeited the bonus round.
However, after the first two seasons, this was changed so that an overhead announcement was made reminding the team to find the first two products, then return to the third product and claim the cash.
During both runs of the show, special tournaments were held periodically, as well as other individual shows in which former teams were invited back for a chance to win more money, a trip aboard a cruise, or a pair of automobiles.
In some of the special tournaments, the bonus round was not played; instead, the show's conclusion came after Ruprecht announced the winner.
On October 13, 2017, it was announced that Fremantle had acquired the global rights to the format and that a revival of the show was in the works.
Several networks, including ABC, NBC, and Fox, as well as Netflix, were said to be interested in acquiring the revived series.
Viken (Old Norse: Vík or Víkin) or Vika, was the historical name during the Viking Age and the High Middle Ages for an area of Scandinavia that originally surrounded the Oslofjord and included the coast of Bohuslän.
Viking Age-era Viken was defined as the strait running between Norway and the southwest coast of Sweden and the Jutland peninsula of Denmark.
Control over Viken shifted between Danish and Norwegian kings in the middle ages, and Denmark continued to claim Viken until 1241.
There is disagreement among modern historians as to where the boundaries of the geographical area called Viken were during the Viking era.
Norwegian royal power began to assert itself in Viken with King Olav Haraldsson, mostly due to a sharp weakening of the Danish royal power.
Olaf first declared himself king of Norway in 1015 and established control of the nation in battle, principally the Battle of Nesjar in 1016.
The Norwegian kings achieved full authority with developments which reached its peak when the national capital was established at Oslo during the reign of King Haakon V of Norway in 1314.
Via Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) it went on to Caldera Systems, Caldera International, and The SCO Group before it was sold to UnXis (now Xinuos).
The MoOLIT toolkit was used for the windowing system, allowing the user to choose between an OPEN LOOK or MOTIF-like look and feel at run time.
In order to make the system more robust on commodity desktop hardware the Veritas VXFS journaling file system was used in place of the UFS file system used in SVR4.
Networking support in UnixWare included both TCP/IP and interoperability with Novell's NetWare protocols (IPX/SPX); the former were the standard among Unix users at the time of development, while PC networking was much more commonly based on NetWare.
Destiny was released in 1992 as UnixWare 1.0, with the intention of unifying the fragmented PC Unix market behind this single variant of the operating system.
The Advanced Merge application was installed on both the server and personal editions to allow running DOS and Windows 3.1 applications.
Both the personal and server editions supported two processor systems, with the possibility of buying extra Processor Upgrade licenses for the server edition.
Instead, a NetWare 4.10 server on Linux was offered as Caldera NetWare for Linux for OpenLinux since 1998, and Novell's Open Enterprise Server finally came in 2005.
The exact terms of this transaction were disputed (see SCO vs Novell); courts have subsequently determined that Novell retained the ownership of Unix.
At the release of UnixWare 2.1 it was announced that the proposed UnixWare/OpenServer merger was known as project Gemini, to be available in 1997 and a 64-bit version of UnixWare was to be developed for 1998.
The Univel and Novell releases of UnixWare allowed 2 users on the personal edition or unlimited numbers of users on the server edition.
In 1998 Compaq released a package known as the Integrity XC consisting of a single-system image cluster of Proliant servers with a version of UnixWare 2.1, UnixWare NonStop Clusters.
The system was largely based on UnixWare 2.1, with features for driver compatibility with OpenServer, allowing use of OpenServer network drivers.
In 1999 SCO released the UnixWare 7.1 update which increased the number of editions, the Business (5-user), Department (25 user) and Enterprise (50 user) editions replaced the earlier personal and server editions.
This new package allowed commodity hardware to be used as well as the proprietary Compaq hardware supported by the earlier Integrity XC product, and was directly available from SCO.
On 2 August 2000, Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) announced that it would sell its Server Software and Services Divisions, as well as rights to the OpenServer and UnixWare products, to Caldera Systems.
Caldera International renamed itself to The SCO Group in August 2002, after broadening its product line to include mobile products and services.
Later, the newly renamed The SCO Group reverted to the previous UnixWare brand and version release numbering, releasing UnixWare 7.1.3 and 7.1.4.
On 11 April 2011, UnXis bought The SCO Group operating assets and intellectual property rights after having been approved by the bankruptcy court in Delaware.
The SCO Group, Inc. then renamed itself TSG Group, Inc., and SCO Operations, Inc. became TSG Operations, Inc., and in August 2012 filed to convert from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7.
In June 2013 UnXis was renamed as Xinuos and announced product and availability for SCO UnixWare 7.1.4+, now supporting both physical and virtual machines.
All versions of SCO operating system distributions including UnixWare also have an extensive set of open source packages available for free download via the SCO Skunkware site.
The basis for an electrochemical cell, such as the galvanic cell, is always a redox reaction which can be broken down into two half-reactions: oxidation at anode (loss of electron) and reduction at cathode (gain of electron).
This potential difference is created as a result of the difference between individual potentials of the two metal electrodes with respect to the electrolyte.
Although the overall potential of a cell can be measured, there is no simple way to accurately measure the electrode/electrolyte potentials in isolation.
Since the oxidation potential of a half-reaction is the negative of the reduction potential in a redox reaction, it is sufficient to calculate either one of the potentials.
Thus, only one empirical value is available in a pair of electrodes and it is not possible to determine the value for each electrode in the pair using the empirically obtained galvanic cell potential.
In this case the standard hydrogen electrode is set to 0.00 V and any electrode, for which the electrode potential is not yet known, can be paired with standard hydrogen electrode—to form a galvanic cell—and the galvanic cell potential gives the unknown electrode's potential.
Using this process, any electrode with an unknown potential can be paired with either the standard hydrogen electrode or another electrode for which the potential has already been derived and that unknown value can be established.
Since the electrode potentials are conventionally defined as reduction potentials, the sign of the potential for the metal electrode being oxidized must be reversed when calculating the overall cell potential.
For practical measurements, the electrode in question is connected to the positive terminal of the electrometer, while the standard hydrogen electrode is connected to the negative terminal.
The larger the value of the standard reduction potentials, the harder it is for the element to be reduced (giving off electrons); in other words, they are better oxidizing agents.
For example, F has 2.87 V and Li has −3.05 V. F reduces easily and is therefore a good oxidizing agent.
Thus Zn whose standard reduction potential is −0.76 V can be oxidized by any other electrode whose standard reduction potential is greater than −0.76 V (e.g.
H(0 V), Cu(0.34 V), F(2.87 V)) and can be reduced by any electrode with standard reduction potential less than −0.76 V (e.g.
The company was formed as Sanofi-Aventis in 2004, by the merger of Aventis and Sanofi-Synthélabo, which were each the product of several previous mergers.
Sanofi engages in the research and development, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical drugs principally in the prescription market, but the firm also develops over-the-counter medication.
The company covers seven major therapeutic areas: cardiovascular, central nervous system, diabetes, internal medicine, oncology, thrombosis and vaccines (it is the world's largest producer of the latter through its subsidiary Sanofi Pasteur).
Sanofi was founded in 1973 as a subsidiary of Elf Aquitaine (a French oil company subsequently acquired by Total), when Elf Aquitaine took control of the Labaz group, a pharmaceutical company formed in 1947, by Societe Belge de l'Azote et des Produits Chimiques du Marly; Labaz developed benziodarone in 1957.
In 1993, Sanofi made a move into the Eastern Europe market by acquiring a controlling interest in Chinoin, a Hungarian drug company that had about US$104 million in sales in 1992.
In that same year, Sanofi's made its first significant venture into the U.S., and strengthened its presence in Eastern Europe, by first partnering with Sterling Winthrop and then acquiring the prescription pharmaceuticals business in 1994.
Synthélabo was founded in 1970, through the merger of two French pharmaceutical laboratories, Laboratoires Dausse (founded in 1834) and Laboratoires Robert & Carrière (founded in 1899).
Sanofi-Synthélabo was formed in 1999, when Sanofi merged with Synthélabo; at the time of the merger Sanofi was the second largest pharmaceutical group in France in terms of sales and Synthélabo was the third largest.
The merged companies focused on pharmaceuticals, divesting several businesses soon after the merger, including beauty, diagnostics, animal health and nutrition, custom chemicals, and two medical equipment businesses.
Aventis was formed in 1999, when French company Rhône-Poulenc S.A. merged with the German corporation Hoechst Marion Roussel, which itself was formed from the 1995 merger of Hoechst AG with Cassella, Roussel Uclaf and Marion Merrell Dow.
At the time of the merger, Rhône-Poulenc's business included the pharmaceutical businesses Rorer, Centeon (blood products), and Pasteur Merieux (vaccines), the plant and animal health businesses Rhône-Poulenc Agro, Rhône-Poulenc Animal Nutrition, and Merial, and a 67 percent share in Rhodia, a speciality chemicals company.
Hoechst, one of the companies resulting from the post-WWII split of IG Farben, had seven primary businesses: Hoechst Marion Roussel (pharmaceuticals), AgrEvo (a joint venture with Schering in crop protection agents and pest control products), HR Vet (veterinary products), Dade Behring (diagnostics), Centeon, Celanese (chemicals), and Messer (chemicals).
Merieux has been in the business of selling blood products, and In the 1980s during the , Merieux and other companies were involved in scandals related to HIV-contaminated haemophilia blood products that were sold to developing nations.
In 2000, Aventis and Millennium Pharmaceuticals, a US biotechnology company formed to discover new drugs based on the then-new science of genomics, announced that Aventis would make a $250M investment in Millennium and would pay $200M to Millennium in research fees over five years, one of the largest such deals between a big pharmaceutical company and a biotech company at the time.
In late 2000, in the midst of the recall of Starlink, its genetically modified maize product, Aventis announced that it had determined to sell off Aventis Cropscience, the seed and pesticide business unit it had created from the agriculture businesses of its predecessors.
In October 2001, Bayer and Aventis announced that Bayer would acquire the unit for about $6.6 billion, with the unit becoming Bayer CropScience and making Bayer the world's second-largest agrochemical company behind Syngenta.
In 2003, Aventis entered into a collaboration with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, a New York biotechnology company, to develop Regeneron's VEGF-inhibiting drug, aflibercept, in the field of cancer, which was then in Phase I clinical trials.
Regeneron partnered the drug with Bayer Healthcare in the field of proliferative eye diseases, and under the name Eylea it was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2011; after several setbacks in clinical trials, Regeneron and Sanofi got the drug approved in metastatic colorectal cancer in combination with other agents, under the brand name Zaltrap in 2012.
Initially, Aventis rejected the bid because it felt that the bid offered inferior value based on the company's share value, and the board of Aventis went so far as to enact poison pill provisions and to invite Novartis to enter merger negotiations.
The three-month takeover battle concluded when Sanofi-Synthélabo launched a friendly bid of €54.5 billion in place of the previously rejected hostile bid.
One of the largest risks in the deal for both sides, was the fate of the patents protecting Clopidogrel (Plavix) which was one of the top-selling drugs in the world at the time and the major source of Sanofi's revenue.
In 2006, Iraqis infected with HIV sued Sanofi and Baxter due to HIV-contaminated haemophilia blood products sold by Merieux in the 1980s.
In 2006, the US patents on clopidogrel (Plavix) were challenged when a Canadian generics company, Apotex, filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application under the Hatch-Waxman Act, received FDA approval, and started marketing a generic clopidogrel.
When Apotex disclosed the oral agreement to the FTC, the FTC launched an investigation that led to Dolan being fired by BMS.
Apotex finally lost on the patent litigation issues after its third appeal was decided in favor of BMS/Sanofi in November 2011; Apotex had to pay ~$442 million in damages and ~$108 million in interest for infringing the patent, which it paid in full by February 2012.
Apotex also sued BMS and Sanofi for $3.4 billion for allegedly breaching the settlement agreement, and Apotex lost a jury trial in March 2013.
In 2007, Sanofi-Aventis expanded on Aventis' prior relationship with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals; in the new deal Sanofi-Aventis agreed to pay Regeneron $100 million each year for five years, under which Regeneron would use its monoclonal antibody discovery platform to create new biopharmaceuticals, which Sanofi-Aventis gained the exclusive right to co-develop.
In 2009, the companies expanded the deal to $160 million per year and extended it through 2017. , the collaboration had four antibodies in clinical development and had filed an IND for a fifth.
Two were against undisclosed targets, one targeted the interleukin-6 receptor as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, another targeted nerve growth factor for the treatment of pain, and another targeted delta-like ligand 4 as a treatment of cancer.
Between 2008, when Chris Viebacher was hired as CEO, and 2010, the company spent more than $17 billion in mergers and acquisitions to strengthen its consumer healthcare and generics platforms, especially in emerging markets, in the face of looming patent cliffs and the growth of the consumer healthcare segment.
In 2009, Medley Farma, the third largest pharmaceutical company in Brazil and a leading generics company in that country, was acquired for about $635 million.
In October Sanofi-Aventis announced that it would lay off about 1,700 US employees (about 25% of its US workforce) due to restructuring triggered by growing generic competition and other factors, and that the company would focus its US operations on diabetes, atrial fibrillation and oncology.
The company dropped the -Aventis suffix of its name on 6 May 2011, after receiving approval at its annual general meeting.
The reason given by the company for the change was to make its name easier to pronounce in countries such as China.
Sanofi sought support for its internal cancer research program and also took on an obligation to acquire Warp Drive if certain milestones were met.
In January 2014, Genzyme and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, a US biotechnology company developing RNAi therapeutics, announced that Genyzme would invest $700 million in Alnylam.
Under the deal, Genzyme obtained further rights to patisiran, an RNAi treatment for transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis – a condition that can result in familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy and familial amyloidotic cardiomyopathy - and obtained rights to other compounds in Alnylam's pipeline.
In March 2014, Sanofi joined the bidding for Merck & Co.'s over-the-counter health-products unit, the maker of Coppertone sunblock and Claritin allergy medicine; bids were expected to range between $10 billion and $12 billion.
In October 2014, Sanofi's directors fired US-resident chief executive Chris Viehbacher, blaming his alleged lack of communication with the board and poor execution of his strategy.
Board chairperson Serge Weinberg took over as interim CEO until 2 April 2015 when Bayer Healthcare board chairperson Olivier Brandicourt (appointed by Sanofi on 19 February 2015) took over.
Before Brandicourt even started his new job, French government ministers Stéphane Le Foll and Ségolène Royal attacked the $4.5 million golden handshake he was getting from Sanofi – and his pay of about $4.7 million a year.
In July 2015, Genzyme announced it would acquire the rare cancer drug Caprelsa (vandetanib) from AstraZeneca for up to $300 million.
In the same month In July 2015, the company announced a new global collaboration with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals to discover, develop, and commercialise new immuno-oncology drugs, which could generate more than $2 billion for Regeneron, with $640 million upfront, $750 million for proof of concept data and $650 million from the development of REGN2810.
In June 2016, the company announced it had struck an asset-swap deal with Boehringer Ingelheim, Sanofi would sell its Merial animal health division (valuing it at €11.4 billion), whilst acquiring Boehringers consumer health division (valuing it at €6.7 billion) and €4.7 billion in cash.
In July 2017, the company announced its intention to acquire Protein Sciences, a privately held, Connecticut-based vaccines biotechnology company, for $650 million and with up to $100 million in milestone achievements.
In January 2018, Sanofi announced that it would acquire Bioverativ for $11.6 billion and days later announced it would acquire Ablynx for €3.9 billion ($4.8 billion).
In December 2019, the company announced it would acquire Synthorx for $2.5 billion ($68 per share), adding the lead product candidate THOR-707, a form of interleukin-2 (IL-2) being developed for use against multiple solid tumours.
Product recall and effects: The Epinephrine auto-injection devices made by Sanofi SA currently on the market in the U.S. and Canada were voluntarily recalled on 28 October 2015.
The reason stated by Sanofi was that the products have been found to potentially have inaccurate dosage delivery, which may include failure to deliver drug.
Sanofi US also added the following warning: If a patient experiencing a serious allergic reaction (i.e., anaphylaxis) did not receive the intended dose, there could be significant health consequences, including death because anaphylaxis is a potentially life‑threatening condition.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also filed a news release confirming that the recall involves all Auvi-Q currently on the market in the U.S.
The FDA release went on to provide information for consumers re: exchanging the device for another brand of product, also provided on the Auvi-Q web site.
Sanofi US will provide reimbursement for out of pocket costs incurred for the purchase of new, alternate epinephrine auto-injectors with proof of purchase.
The alternate products expected to most commonly replace the recalled Sanofi devices are the EpiPens made by Mylan in the US and by Pfizer—under license from Mylan—in Canada.
Gal also believes that the company will eventually have 95% of the Epinephrine auto-injector market, according to another Fierce Pharma report on 3 November 2015.
The company also produces a broad range of over-the-counter products, among them Allegra, IcyHot for muscle pain, Gold Bond for skin irritation, and Selsun Blue dandruff shampoo.
, Sanofi was in a race with Amgen and Pfizer to win approval for a drug that inhibits PCSK9, a protein that slows the clearance of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol – the form of cholesterol that leads to heart attacks.
An FDA warning in March 2014, about possible cognitive adverse effects of PCSK9 inhibition threw the competition into disarray, as the FDA asked companies to include neurocognitive testing into their Phase III clinical trials.
In 2013, Sanofi announced that another candidate from its collaboration with Regeneron, the monoclonal antibody against the interleukin 6 receptor, sarilumab, had better efficacy than placebo in its first Phase III trial for rheumatoid arthritis.
In addition to internal research and development activities Sanofi is also involved in publicly funded collaborative research projects, with other industrial and academic partners.
One example in the area of non-clinical safety assessment is the InnoMed PredTox project The company is expanding its activities in joint research projects within the framework of the Innovative Medicines Initiative of EFPIA and the European Commission.
In June 2010, Sanofi and the Charite University of Berlin signed a cooperation agreement for the research and development of medicines and therapies.
On 25 October 2012, Sanofi said its earnings for the third quarter slumped as generic competitors ate into profits of its Eloxatin cancer treatment.
In 2005, Sanofi Pasteur, vaccines division of Sanofi Group, was awarded a $97 Million United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) contract.
The facility, located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, produced BCG vaccine products, made with the Glaxo 1077 strain, such as a tuberculosis vaccine ImmuCYST, a BCG Immunotherapeutic -a bladder cancer drug.
By April 2012, the FDA had found dozens of documented problems with sterility at the plant including mold, nesting birds and rusted electrical conduits.
Sanofi is a full member of the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), and Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA).
The Aventis Foundation, a German charitable trust, was established in 1996, as the Hoechst Foundation with an endowment of €50 million.
He provided support for conservative and libertarian causes in the United States, mostly through the private, nonprofit foundations he controlled: the Sarah Scaife Foundation, Carthage Foundation, and Allegheny Foundation, and until 2001, the Scaife Family Foundation, now controlled by his daughter Jennie and son David.
Scaife was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Alan Magee Scaife, the head of an affluent Pittsburgh family, and Sarah Cordelia Mellon, who was a member of the influential Mellon family, one of the most powerful families in the country.
She and her brother, financier R.K. Mellon, were heirs to the Mellon fortune that included Mellon Bank and major stakes in Gulf Oil and Alcoa aluminum.
Scaife attended high school at Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, Massachusetts where he almost didn't graduate after getting caught drinking off campus at the age of 14.
He was expelled from Yale University in the aftermath of a drunken party in which he launched an empty beer keg down a flight of stairs, injuring a classmate.
With the help of his father, who was chairman of the board of trustees, he attended the University of Pittsburgh and graduated with a bachelor's degree in English in 1957.
In 1973, he became estranged from his sister Cordelia and he took control of many of the family foundations while Cordelia supported her own charities, including Planned Parenthood and the National Aviary in Pittsburgh.
The paper was based in Greensburg, the county seat and center of Westmoreland County, located about 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
According to the Audit Bureau of Circulation, the Tribune-Review has a combined 221,000 regional circulation, about 7,000 subscribers fewer than its competitor.
With Scaife as publisher, the small circulation newspaper was the chief packager of editorials and news columns claiming that then United States President Bill Clinton or his wife, then First Lady Hillary Clinton were responsible for the death of Deputy White House counsel Vince Foster.
In 2004, Scaife was reported to own 7.2 percent of Newsmax Media, a news-based Web site with conservative political content founded by Ruddy in 1998.
Scaife gained notoriety for evading weak campaign finance laws to donate US$990,000 to the 1972 re-election campaign of U.S. President Richard M. Nixon.
Following Robert Duggan's suicide and then Watergate, he shifted his political giving from politicians' campaigns to anti-communist research groups, legal defense funds, and publications.
The project not only accused Clinton of financial and sexual indiscretions (some later verified, others not), but also gave root to conspiracist notions that the Clintons collaborated with the CIA to run a drug smuggling operation out of the town of Mena, Arkansas and that Clinton had arranged for the murder of White House aide Vince Foster as part of a coverup of the Whitewater scandal.
The possibility that money from the project had been given to former Clinton associate David Hale, a witness in the Whitewater investigation, led to the appointment of Michael J. Shaheen as a special investigator.
In the fall of 2007, however, Ruddy published a positive interview with former President Clinton on Newsmax.com, followed by a positive cover story in the magazine.
He also said that he and Scaife had never suggested Clinton was involved in Foster's death, nor had they spread allegations about Clinton's sex scandals, although their work may have encouraged others.
Besides donations to the Republican National Committee and various political campaigns such as Santorum 2000 and the Santorum Victory Committee for Rick Santorum, he has also supported political action committees such as the Pro-Growth Action Team, the Free Congress PAC (formerly: Committee For the Survival Of a Free Congress), and the Club For Growth Inc. PAC.
When Scaife refocused his political giving away from individuals and toward anti-communist research groups, legal defense funds, and publications, the first among these was the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace at Stanford University.
Through contacts made at Hoover and elsewhere, Scaife became a major, early supporter of The Heritage Foundation, which has since become one of Washington's most influential public policy research institutes.
By 1998, his foundations were listed among donors to over 100 such groups, to which he had disbursed some $340 million by 2002.
Starr accepted the post in 1996, but in the ensuing controversy, he gave up the appointment in 1998 before ever having started at Pepperdine.
After the investigation, Starr was appointed to head Pepperdine's law school in 2004, and became president of Baylor University in 2010.
However, Scaife supported certain policy research groups which are not explicitly conservative, such as the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), and the Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI), at the University of Pennsylvania, among others.
In the late 1990s, during the height of the Clinton scandals, Scaife nevertheless continued to provide more than $1 million to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the prime benefactor of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).
He was a key benefactor of a number of Pittsburgh-based arts organizations: Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Sarah Scaife Galleries at the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh art museum, the Brandywine Conservancy, the Phipps Conservatory, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., as well as Goodwill Industries of Pittsburgh.
He also supported a variety of educational institutions, notably the University of Chicago, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, Carnegie Mellon University, Boston University, the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Rochester, Smith College, Bowling Green State University, and his prep school, Deerfield Academy.
The couple subsequently separated, and, on December 27, 2005, the Pittsburgh Police responded to a call placed by Richard Scaife reporting trespassing at Scaife's residence in the prestigious Shadyside section of Pittsburgh.
Three days later, on April 11, Scaife confided to a gossip columnist that he and Margaret Scaife planned to divorce and that their marriage began without a prenuptial agreement.
The papers include a full list of the possessions Margaret Scaife alleged her husband had taken and was keeping from her.
On February 8, 1999 former military intelligence specialist and progressive writer Steve Kangas committed suicide less than 60 feet (18 m) from Scaife's office door inside One Oxford Centre in Pittsburgh.
Scaife died after a battle with cancer on the morning of July 4, 2014 at his home, one day after his 82nd birthday.
He is an exponent of Chicago blues and has influenced guitarists including Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Beck, Gary Clark Jr. and John Mayer.
In the 1960s, Guy played with Muddy Waters as a house guitarist at Chess Records and began a musical partnership with the harmonica player Junior Wells.
Later he was given a Harmony acoustic guitar which, decades later in Guy's lengthy career, was donated to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Guy's early career was impeded by conservative business choices made by his record company, Chess Records, his label from 1959 to 1968, which refused to record Guy playing in the novel style of his live shows.
In the early 1960s, Chess tried recording Guy as a solo artist with R&B ballads, jazz instrumentals, soul and novelty dance tunes, but none of these recordings were released as a single.
Chess used Guy mainly as a session guitarist to back Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson, Koko Taylor and others.
During his tenure with Chess, Guy recorded sessions with Junior Wells for Delmark Records under the pseudonym Friendly Chap in 1965 and 1966.
As of 2019, Guy still performs at least a hundred and thirty nights a year, including a month of shows each January at his Chicago blues club, Buddy Guy's Legends.
His music can vary from the most traditional, deepest blues to a creative, unpredictable and radical gumbo of the blues, avant rock, soul and free jazz that changes with each performance.
On February 21, 2012, Guy performed in concert at the White House for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
Guy has won eight Grammy Awards, for his work on electric and acoustic guitars and for contemporary and traditional forms of blues music, as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award.
In 2003, he was presented with the National Medal of Arts, awarded by the President of the United States to those who have made extraordinary contributions to the creation, growth and support of the arts in the United States.
Clapton recalled seeing Guy perform in London's Marquee Club in 1965, impressing him with his technique, his looks and his charismatic showmanship.
He remembered seeing Guy pick the guitar with his teeth and play it over his head—two tricks that later influenced Jimi Hendrix.
In 2008, Guy was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame, performing at the Texas Club in Baton Rouge to commemorate the occasion.
He was honored that night along with Dustin Hoffman, Led Zeppelin (John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant), David Letterman and Natalia Makarova.
The Royal Society Science Books Prize is an annual £25,000 prize awarded by the Royal Society to celebrate outstanding popular science books from around the world.
It is open to authors of science books written for a non-specialist audience, and since it was established in 1988 has championed writers such as Stephen Hawking, Jared Diamond, Stephen Jay Gould and Bill Bryson.
The Royal Society established the Science Books Prize in 1988 with the aim of encouraging the writing, publishing and reading of good and accessible popular science books.
The judges for the 2016 prize included author Bill Bryson, theoretical physicist Dr Clare Burrage, science fiction author Alastair Reynolds, ornithologist and science blogger GrrlScientist, and author and director of external affairs at the Science Museum Group, Roger Highfield.
All books entered for the prize must be published in English for the first time between September and October the preceding year.
In chess, a draw by (mutual) agreement is the outcome of a game due to the agreement of both players to a draw.
A player may offer a draw to his opponent at any stage of a game; if the opponent accepts, the game is a draw.
The vast majority of drawn chess games at the amateur club/tournament level and higher are draws by mutual agreement rather than the other ways a game can be drawn (stalemate, threefold repetition, fifty-move rule, or impossibility of checkmate) .
The FIDE laws state that a draw should be offered after making the move and before pressing the game clock, and marked in the scoresheet as (=) (see Appendix C.13).
If a player makes a draw offer before making their move, the opponent can ask them to make their move before deciding.
A draw may be rejected either verbally or by making a move (the offer is nullified if the opponent makes a move).
Some chess players and fans believe short grandmaster draws or even all draws by agreement are bad, but attempts to stop or discourage them have not been effective .
This rule is applied with the arbiter's discretion: a player loudly offering a draw while his opponent is thinking may well suffer a time penalty or even forfeit the game, but it is unlikely that a player would be penalized for, say, offering a draw in a lifeless position when it is not their turn to move .
For example, many consider it bad manners for a player who has offered a draw once to do so again before their opponent has offered a draw.
Such repeated offers of a draw have also sometimes been considered distracting enough to warrant the arbiter taking action under article 12.5.
It is bad etiquette to offer a draw in a clearly lost position , , or even when one has no winning chances but the opponent still has winning chances .
Mastichiadis, a minor master, was so happy to get half a point against his illustrious opponent that he did not pause to examine the position before accepting the offer.
The rule about the procedure of offering a draw was violated in a 1981 game between Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov.
In the 1958 game between Tigran Petrosian and Bobby Fischer, Fischer offered a draw without making a move first, which was accepted by Petrosian.
It was Petrosian's place to extend the draw offer after 67...Rxg6+ [...] 68.Kxg6 Kb1 69.f8=Q c2 with a book draw .
In 1977 Viktor Korchnoi and former World Champion Tigran Petrosian played a twelve-game quarter-final Candidates Match to ultimately determine the challenger for the 1978 World Championship.
After eleven games Korchnoi was leading by one point, so he only needed a draw in the final game to advance to the semi-finals.
Sometimes time constraints for one (or possibly both) player(s) to complete a game may be a factor in agreeing to a draw.
A player with an advantageous position but limited time may be agreeable to a draw to avoid risking a loss from running out of time, and the opponent may also be agreeable to a draw due to his/her disadvantageous position.
British expert P. H. Clarke talked about the positive aspects of a short draw: Unless you are of the calibre of Botvinnik – and who is – you cannot hope to play at full power day after day.
Their comments on two short draws follow (Spassky versus Petrosian and Reshevsky versus Portisch), followed by comments on some other short draws.
On my part it would have been pointless to rely on his as I saw that after 17. dxe5 Nd5 18.
In such a strong tournament and against such outstanding players it would not be wise to try to win a game of this kind.
In the 1958 game between Yuri Averbakh and Bobby Fischer, the players agreed to a draw in an unclear position where White is a piece ahead.
Averbakh stated that Fischer offered the draw and that each player had only about ten minutes to make the 19 or 20 moves before time control.
In 1962 a Candidates Tournament was held in Curaçao to determine the challenger to Mikhail Botvinnik in the 1963 World Championship.
There is good evidence that Soviet players Tigran Petrosian, Paul Keres, and Efim Geller arranged to draw all of the games between themselves.
In the 21st of 24 games of the 1960 World Chess Championship between Mikhail Tal and Mikhail Botvinnik, Tal only needed a half point to win the title, so he got to a position where Black had no winning chances, and quickly agreed to a draw.
In the 1967 USSR Championship, Lev Polugaevsky and Mikhail Tal were leading with the same number of points going into the next-to-last round.
I accepted, although for decency's sake we made a further 12 moves or so, and the question of first place was put off until the last round.
Before the 20th game of the 1986 World Championship, Kasparov had just lost three games in a row, which evened the match score.
Although many games logically end in a draw after a hard-fought battle between the players, there have been attempts throughout history to discourage or completely disallow draws.
Chess is the only widely played sport where the contestants can agree to a draw at any time for any reason.
Because such quick draws are widely considered unsatisfactory both for spectators (who may only see half-an-hour of play with nothing very interesting happening) and sponsors (who suffer from decreased interest in the media), various measures have been adopted over the years to discourage players from agreeing to draws.
Chess trainer Mark Dvoretsky, writing in a column for the Chess Cafe website, suggested that agreed draws should not be allowed at all, pointing out that such an agreement cannot be reached in other sports such as boxing.
The players could not draw by agreement, but they could have draws by stalemate, threefold repetition, the fifty-move rule, and insufficient material.
In 1929 the first edition of the FIDE laws of chess required thirty moves to be played before a draw by agreement.
In 1954 FIDE rejected a request to reinstate the rule, but it did state that it is unethical and unsportsmanlike to agree to a draw before a serious contest had begun.
FIDE stated that the director should discipline players who repeatedly disrespect this guideline, but it seemed to have no effect on players.
In 1962 FIDE reinstated a version of the rule against draws by agreement in fewer than thirty moves, with the director allowing them in exceptional circumstances.
In 2003, GM Maurice Ashley wrote an essay The End of the Draw Offer?, which raised discussion about ways to avoid quick agreed draws in chess tournaments.
The 2003 Generation Chess International Tournament in New York City had a rule that draws could not be agreed to before move fifty (draws by other means, such as threefold repetition or stalemate, were permissible at any stage).
In the very first international round-robin tournament in London in 1862, drawn games had to be replayed until there was a decisive result.
One potential issue for this proposal is that both players can quickly agree to a draw in the tournament game and then play a speed chess game to decide things.
The FIDE 128 player tournament has seen many matches where the two tournament time control games are drawn and advancement is decided by rapid (thirty minutes for a game) or blitz (five minutes) games.
The 3-1-0 scoring system awards three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss.
It was adopted by FIFA for football matches in 1994, after many leagues around the world had used it successfully to reduce the number of stalling draws.
FIFA formerly employed the 2-1-0 scoring system, which is equivalent to that used generally in chess today: one point for a win, half a point for a draw, and no points for a loss.
At the 1964 FIDE Congress, the Puerto Rican delegate proposed that a win be given four points, a draw be given two points, a game played and lost one point, and no points for a forfeit.
The BAP System was designed to make it undesirable for one or both players to agree to a draw by changing the point value of win/loss/draw based on color played: three points for winning as Black, two points for winning as White, one point for drawing as Black, and no points for drawing as White or for losing as either White or Black.
The BAP System was developed by Clint Ballard, a chess aficionado and software-company president, who named it the Ballard Anti-draw Point system (BAP).
Chess will NEVER succeed in the American TV market until we eliminate the draw as anything other than a very rare outcome.
There have been proposals that certain kinds of draws should be worth more points than others – for example, awarding only half a point for an agreed draw, but three-quarters of a point for a side delivering stalemate (one-quarter of a point going to the side who is stalemated).
In 2005, GM John Nunn wrote that he believed the rules did not need to change, and that the simple solution was for organizers to not invite players known for taking short draws.
In the previously mentioned 2003 Generation Chess International Tournament, players agreeing to premature draws were to be fined 10% of their appearance fee and 10% of any prize money won.
In a similar vein, the tournament organiser Luis Rentero (best known for organising the very strong tournaments in Linares) has sometimes enforced a rule whereby draws cannot be agreed to before move thirty.
378 (1798), was a case in which the United States Supreme Court ruled early in America's history that the President of the United States has no formal role in the process of amending the United States Constitution and that the Eleventh Amendment was binding on cases already pending prior to its ratification.
The Indiana Company was seeking to resolve a land claim with the state of Virginia regarding land in what is now West Virginia.
So, the first main issue in the case became whether the Eleventh Amendment was valid, not having been presented to the President for approval or veto.
The second main issue was whether the Eleventh Amendment applied retroactively to ongoing cases that had already begun before the Amendment was ratified.
The brief report by the reporter of decisions quotes Chase and the arguments of the opposing attorneys, but fails to explicitly give precise reasons for the Supreme Court's unanimous decision in this case, though it is known that none of the earlier amendments had been presented to the president for approbation either.
The clarity of this language in Article V has been cited as a reason why the Court did not think that further explanation of its decision was needed.
Tillman noted that Justice Chase's statement was not his official opinion, but merely a remark from the bench at oral argument, and therefore the failure of the other justices to contradict him should not elevate the status of Chase's remark to an official opinion by either him or by the Court.
Moreover, Tillman argued that there were several other grounds potentially explaining the Court's decision, including: that the proposed Eleventh Amendment was in fact delivered to George Washington, he declined to sign it, and Washington's non-signature did not amount to a pocket veto because Congress remained in session.
If this latter explanation explains the Court's obscure language in its opinion, then the Court only decided that on the particular facts actually before it the Eleventh Amendment was valid.
And once Chase had opened discussion distinguishing the proposition of amendments (by Congress) and their adoption (by the States), the parties were on notice that these issues were important to the Court.
If they chose to neglect them, the Court could still address them, and arguably the Court did so in its decision.
However, Kyvig does not explain which of Lee's specific arguments were adopted by the Court or how the language in the Court's opinion explains the primary issue in the case: the scope of Article V and the scope of Article I, Section 7, Clause 3 and the interplay (if any) between the two provisions.
The Malagasy kingfisher has a black bill and greenish crest, and is not quite as dependent on water as the African species.
The São Tomé kingfisher and the Príncipe kingfisher were sometimes considered as distinct species but a study published in 2008 showed that they are both subspecies of the malachite kingfisher.
Three or four clutches of three to six round, white eggs are placed on a litter of fish bones and disgorged pellets.
A fish is usually lifted and carried by its middle, but its position is changed, sometimes by tossing it into the air, before it is swallowed head downwards.
It is shaped like a sausage about two feet long, has no head nor leg and it is so poisonous that merely to touch it means instant death.
The Mongolians say it can kill at a distance, either by spraying a venom at its prey or by means of electric discharge.
They say that the worm lives underground, hibernating most of the year except for June and July, when it becomes active.
It has been told that the worm frequently preyed on camels and laid eggs in its intestines, and eventually acquired the trait of its red-like skin.
In hopes of extending its reach, the movement adopts a different theme and target group each year, and also collaborates with various partner organisations to provide programmes in line with the movement's goals.
The campaign aims to discourage the use of Singlish and encourage the use of a more standardised form of English, (i.e.
According to the movement's chairman, then Colonel (NS) David Wong, the Speak Good English Movement aims to build a sense of pride that Singaporeans can speak good English, as opposed to Singlish, as well as to check the trend where Singaporeans use Singlish as a way of identifying themselves.
Since 2003, the Speak Good English Movement has been launched annually with year-long programmes and activities held island-wide to increase the awareness among Singaporeans that speaking good English matters in their daily lives.
A year later in April 2000, he officially launched the Speak Good English Movement with the tagline 'Speak Well, Be Understood'.
He stressed the importance of speaking standard English and reducing the use of Singlish, as Singapore is a hub city and an open economy with a need to interact with English-speaking foreigners.
Singaporeans often use Chinese syntax and literal translations of Chinese phrases while speaking English, which make utterances seem truncated and incomprehensible to foreigners.
The movement was spearheaded by a committee of people in the private sector led by then Colonel (NS) David Wong, a senior adviser with the consulting company Ernst and Young.
Its target audience was Singaporeans under 40, which included young working adults, parents and students in schools, tertiary institutes, polytechnics and technical institutes.
One such event was the seminar held by the Singapore Teachers' Union (STU) at the Shangri-La Hotel, attended by about 500 participants who were mostly teachers.
The seminar emphasised the power of pronunciation and the teaching of grammar, and encouraged teachers to teach English in more creative ways in schools using dramas and role-playing.
Other highlights in 2000 included the launch of Grammar Matters, a series of 5 books using comics to illustrate the correct use of grammar by the Regional English Language Centre in support of the movement.
Also, an inter-school Scrabble competition, in which 54 primary schools participated, was held to kick off the year's events in April 2002.
In 2003, the movement, already in its fourth year, aimed to not only encourage Singaporeans to speak well but also speak simple English.
Have a go even if they can't speak well, even if they cannot use long words, even if they can't use long sentences; it's not important.
In its fifth year, acting Manpower Minister Ng Eng Hen launched the campaign at The Arts House at Old Parliament in April 2004.
Its target audience was working adults in the service industry, including cabbies, shop assistants, waiters and others, which made up 70 percent of all workers in Singapore.
People in positions of influence, parents and teachers were also encouraged to serve as positive role models in speaking good English to those around them.
The movement also partnered organisations and key agencies in training workshop initiatives to improve the English language proficiency of all their teachers.
Other activities to promote good English were also held throughout the year, such as the WISH programme (as in the previous year), and talks at selected public libraries to educate the public on the importance of reading aloud and on using English to communicate with one's family.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong launched that year's Speak Good English Movement on 13 May at the HDB Hub Auditorium at Toa Payoh.
Chairing the movement was Professor Koh Tai Ann, professor of English Literature at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Nanyang Technological University.
Professor Koh highlighted that speaking good English did not necessarily mean that one should seek to eradicate or diminish the usage of Singlish or mother tongue.
He recognised the importance of mother tongue and Singlish as a bonding element for Singaporeans, but emphasised that there was a right place and time for it and that Singaporeans must be able to converse in Standard English when an occasion called for it.
The 2006 movement was launched by Radm (NS) Lui Tuck Yew, Minister of State For Education on 25 July 2006 at The Plaza, National Library Building.
The focus of the year was on creating a standard of English for Singaporeans to be understood anywhere in the world, not just locally but internationally.
The highlights of the 2006 movement include starting of the 'English as it is Broken' column in the Generation Y page of The Sunday Times which addressed questions relating to English sent in by its readers.
This column continued its run for 2 years in print and was later adapted to a regularly updated online column on STOMP which still runs today.
Its popularity led to the publication of 2 best-selling volumes of books of the same title- 'English As It is Broken', based on issues brought up from the site.
Launched by Radm (NS) Lui Tuck Yew, Minister of State For Education on 31 July 2007 at Timbre Music Bistro, the 2007/08 Movement targeted 4 broad groups- youth, parents, teacher and frontline staff.
The key focus was on the youth, while parents, teachers, and frontline staff were seen as the main people to have interactions with them, thus having a vital role in the language input that they receive.
This year also saw the appointment for the new chairman – Mr Goh Eck Kheng, publisher of Landmark Books for a two-year term from 1 March 2008 to 30 April 2010.
From August 2007 to June 2008, the movement held weekly programmes and performances which aimed to allow youths to grow their confidence and fluency with the code.
In providing a platform for local artists, it had hoped to use the power and reach of those artists to send its message to youths in Singapore.
Launched by Minister Lim Boon Heng, Prime Minister’s Office, on 26 August 2008, the Speak Good English Movement 2008 targeted the workforce who were seen as the people both Singaporeans and international visitors would encounter most frequently.
In order to encourage willingness to speak and improve their proficiency of Standard English, the movement of this year initiated the classification of Singaporeans into 3 categories.
Impress those we communicate with, Inspire others as role models of good English and using words that Intoxicate to make everyday communication more engaging.
The tagline also aimed to convey the message that communicating well goes beyond grammar and vocabulary and involves being able to express and be understood as well.
This year, the movement initiated an online drama titled Six Lives which followed the lives of six friends planning a wedding for their friends John and Huileng.
Over a span of 12 episodes, Six Lives aimed to show the importance of communicating well and how 'Impress, Inspire and Intoxicate' can be incorporated into daily situations that friends get into, through the demonstration by the six characters who interacted through blog entries and comments at the Sixlives webpage.
In its 11th year, the Speak Good English Movement 2010 which was launched on 7 September 2010 with the tagline 'Get It Right'.
It aimed at broadening the environment in which Standard English is used, in order to create a conducive environment where those less proficient in the code can learn by example.
Fluent speakers of Standard English are encouraged to use it more frequently in all conversation, regardless if it is with family members, colleagues, hawkers, or taxi drivers.
In a bid for Singaporeans to 'Get It Right'-where those proficient in Standard English take note to use the language accurately and those who are less proficient at it try to use it correctly; the organisers introduced an Activist Toolkit.
The current Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports Vivian Balakrishnan kicked off this year's campaign by being the first to correct a sign at the Xin Food Court at the HarbourFront Centre.
With the new appointment of a new chairman after ten years and the formation of a new committee, a new campaign was rolled out on 14 June 2019.
The Speak Good English Movement is the government's effort to encourage Singaporeans to speak Standard English rather than the colloquial form, Singlish.
The Speak Good Singlish Movement gathers support through a Facebook page which had 252 members though as reported in a dead link, an identically named group had 3,140 members in December 2012.
It began as a response to the launch of SGEM 2010, in particular, its notion of using post-its to correct public signs written in poor English.
In an exclusive interview with The Online Citizen, one of the Singapore's key social commentary websites, its unnamed founder directly called into question Dr Balakrishnan's appeal about the SGEM.
Since Singapore gained independence in 1965, English is taught as a first language and is also the most dominant language in Singapore.
But one cannot classify all Singaporeans as native speakers of English because the main languages spoken at home are not necessarily English.
The first gave insight to what will happen if the implementation of hiring foreign native English speakers to teach English became too successful.
It suggests that the inability to distinguish the grammars of the two varieties of English will cause learners to mix their features, thus contaminating the grammar of the standard version.
Another study by Wee (2005) has shown that in general, Singaporeans are confident in their code-switching abilities between Singlish and Standard English, which undermines the claims that using Singlish interferes with the learning of Standard English.
Hashcash is a proof-of-work system used to limit email spam and denial-of-service attacks, and more recently has become known for its use in bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies) as part of the mining algorithm.
Hashcash is a cryptographic hash-based proof-of-work algorithm that requires a selectable amount of work to compute, but the proof can be verified efficiently.
For email uses, a textual encoding of a hashcash stamp is added to the header of an email to prove the sender has expended a modest amount of CPU time calculating the stamp prior to sending the email.
In other words, as the sender has taken a certain amount of time to generate the stamp and send the email, it is unlikely that they are a spammer.
However, the only known way to find a header with the necessary properties is brute force, trying random values until the answer is found; though testing an individual string is easy, satisfactory answers are rare enough that it will require a substantial number of tries to find the answer.
The hypothesis is that spammers, whose business model relies on their ability to send large numbers of emails with very little cost per message, will cease to be profitable if there is even a small cost for each spam they send.
The header contains the recipient's email address, the date of the message, and information proving that the required computation has been performed.
The date allows the recipient to record headers received recently and to ensure that the header is unique to the email message.
Thus the chance of randomly selecting a header that will have 20 zeros as the beginning of the hash is 1 in 2 (approx.
The number of times that the sender needs to try to get a valid hash value is modeled by geometric distribution.
A normal user on a desktop PC would not be significantly inconvenienced by the processing time required to generate the Hashcash string.
So zero bits can be added (doubling the amount of time needed to compute a hash with each additional zero bit) until it is too expensive for spammers to generate valid header lines.
Confirming that the header is valid is very much faster and always takes the same amount of time, no matter how many zero bits are required for a valid header, since this requires only a single hashing operation.
Neither the sender nor recipient need to pay, thus the administrative issues involved with any micropayment system and moral issues related to charging for e-mail are entirely avoided.
On the other hand, as Hashcash requires potentially significant computational resources to be expended on each e-mail being sent, it is somewhat difficult to tune the ideal amount of average time one wishes clients to expend computing a valid header.
This can mean sacrificing accessibility from low-end embedded systems or else running the risk of hostile hosts not being challenged enough to provide an effective filter from spam.
Hashcash can be incrementally deployed—the extra Hashcash header is ignored when it is received by mail clients that do not understand it.
concluded that only one of the following cases is likely: either non-spam e-mail will get stuck due to lack of processing power of the sender, or spam e-mail is bound to still get through.
E.g., botnets may expire faster because users notice the high CPU load and take counter-measures, and mailing list servers can be registered in white lists on the subscribers' hosts and thus be relieved from the hashcash challenges.
However, developing countries can be expected to use older hardware, which means that they will find it increasingly difficult to participate in the e-mail system.
Although most cryptocurrencies use the SHA-256 hash function, the same ASIC technology could be used to create hashcash solvers that are three orders of magnitude faster than a consumer CPU, reducing the computational hurdle for spammers.
Blocks accepted from miners form the bitcoin blockchain that is a growing ledger of every bitcoin transaction since the coin's first creation.
However the bitcoin network periodically resets the difficulty level to keep the average rate of block creation at 6 per hour.
As of January 2020 block #614525 the bitcoin network has responded to deployments of ever faster hashing hardware by miners by hardening the requirement to first 74 of 256 hash bits must be zero.
Hashcash is used as a potential solution for false positives with automated spam filtering systems, as legitimate users will rarely be inconvenienced by the extra time it takes to mine a stamp.
However, although the hashcash plugin is not initially on by default, it still needs to be configured with a list of address patterns that must match against the Hashcash resource field, so it doesn't actually work by default.
The project is named for the historical availability of conventional mailing services that cost the sender just one penny; see Penny Post for information about such mailing services in history.
Microsoft also designed and implemented a now deprecated open spec, similar to and yet incompatible with Hashcash, Email Postmark, as part of their Coordinated Spam Reduction Initiative (CSRI).
The format differences between Hashcash and Microsoft's email postmark is that postmark hashes the body in addition to the recipient, and uses a modified SHA-1 as the hash function and uses multiple sub-puzzles to reduce proof of work variance.
Some scripts (such as wp-hashcash) claim to implement hashcash but instead depend on JavaScript obfuscation to force the client to generate a matching key; while this does require some processing power, it does not use the hashcash algorithm or hashcash stamps.
RSA has made IPR statements to the IETF about client-puzzles in the context of an RFC that described client-puzzles (not hashcash).
The RFC included hashcash in the title and referenced hashcash, but the mechanism described in it is a known-solution interactive challenge which is more akin to Client-Puzzles; hashcash is non-interactive and therefore does not have a known solution.
In any case RSA's IPR statement can not apply to hashcash because hashcash predates (March 1997) the client-puzzles publication (February 1999) and the client-puzzles patent filing US7197639 (February 2000).
He served as a Member of the European Parliament for North West England from 1999 to 2014 and from 2019 to 2020.
He was educated at the independent Cheadle Hulme School (1965–1972), at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge (1972–1975, reading history) and from 1975 to 1977 at the University of Kent, Canterbury.
Davies was a Liberal member of Liverpool City Council from 1980 to 1984, representing Abercromby ward and serving as Chairman of the Housing Committee.
His election campaign was controversial due to Davies openly campaigning while the incumbent MP Geoffrey Dickens was dying from liver cancer.
Davies was elected as a Member of the European Parliament for the North West England constituency in 1999 and served as the Liberal Democrat spokesman on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Committee (ENVI) in the European Parliament.
In March 2014 he won a parliamentarian of the year award for his work to promote sustainable fishing through Fish for the Future, an all-party group he created in 2010.
His efforts included dressing as a fish in the European Parliament to raise awareness of the need for reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP).
During his time as an MEP, Davies was active in the environment, climate and energy policy sectors, and served as the ALDE coordinator (team leader) on the ENVI committee from 2007.
He was the rapporteur for the Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide (Carbon Capture and Storage, CCS) Directive in 2008-9 and for the implementation report on CCS in 2013-14, which called for greater action to develop and deploy CCS in the EU.
In 2008 he drafted an amendment that led to the creation of a funding mechanism for CCS and innovative renewable energy projects that became known as NER300, later described by the European Commission as one the world's largest funding programmes for innovative low-carbon energy demonstration projects.
In 2006, Davies was forced to resign as leader of the Liberal Democrats group in the European Parliament, due to the tone of a series of emails he exchanged with a Jewish constituent.
George Mackay Brown (17 October 1921 – 13 April 1996) was a Scottish poet, author and dramatist, whose work has a distinctly Orcadian character.
His parents were John Brown, a tailor and postman, and Mhairi Mackay, who had been brought up in Braal, a hamlet near Strathy, Sutherland as a native Gaelic speaker.
Except for periods as a mature student on mainland Scotland, Brown lived all his life in the town of Stromness in the Orkney islands.
The family had a history of depression and it is likely that Mackay's uncle, Jimmy Brown, committed suicide: his body was found in Stromness harbour in 1935.
This illness kept him from entering the army at the start of World War II and it afflicted him to such an extent that he could not live a normal working life; however, it was because of this that he had the time and space in which to write.
He was encouraged in his writing of poetry by Francis Scarfe, who was billeted in the Browns' house for over a year from April 1944.
After this he was helped in his development as a writer by Ernest Marwick, whose criticism he valued, and Robert Rendall.
He was a mature student at Newbattle Abbey College in the 1951–1952 session, where the poet Edwin Muir, who would have a great influence on his life as a writer, was warden.
During this period he met, and drank in Rose Street Edinburgh with, many of the Scottish poets of his time: Sydney Goodsir Smith, Norman MacCaig, Hugh MacDiarmid, Tom Scott and others.
In late 1960 Brown commenced teacher training at Moray House College of Education, but was unable to remain in Edinburgh because of ill-health.
On his recovery in 1961 he found that he was not suited to this type of work and returned late in the year to his mother's house in Stromness, unemployed.
It was at this time that he was received into the Roman Catholic Church, being baptised on 23 December and taking communion on the following day.
After a period of unemployment, and the rejection of a volume of poetry by the Hogarth Press, Brown did post-graduate study on Gerard Manley Hopkins, although academic study was not to his taste.
Later that year came the death of his mother, who had supported him, while disapproving of his drinking; she left an estate of £4.
This was also the year in which he finished working on a six-part cycle of poems about Rackwick, published in 1971 as 'Fishermen with Ploughs'.
By the late 1960s Brown's poetry was renowned internationally, so that, for example, the American poet Robert Lowell came to Orkney for the sole purpose of meeting him.
Subsequently, Davies – who came to live in Rackwick – based a number of his works on the poetry and prose of George Mackay Brown.
When the novel was published in May 1972 it appeared somewhat prophetic because of the oil exploration beginning in the Orkney area.
Brown takes the theme of sacrifice into the twentieth century by inserting, in journalistic language, an account of the death of Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
By early 1977 he was entering a period of depression which lasted intermittently for almost a decade, but he maintained his working routine throughout.
He also suffered from severe bronchial problems, with his condition so serious that in early 1981 he was given the Last Sacraments.
One was Norah Smallwood who worked for his publishers Chatto & Windus, and who had helped and encouraged them over the years.
Between 1987 and 1989 Brown travelled to Nairn, including a visit to Pluscarden Abbey, and to Shetland and Oxford, the most that he left Orkney apart from his earlier studies in Edinburgh.
Shortly afterwards Brown was diagnosed with bowel cancer, which required two major operations during 1990, and a lengthy stay in Foresterhill Hospital, Aberdeen.
It won the Saltire Scottish Book of the Year Award for 1994; and was listed for the Booker prize for fiction.
During his latter years Brown remained in his home but was cared for by a network of friends, including Surinder Punjya (later the principal of The Nesbitt Centre, Hong Kong), Gunnie Moberg, and Renée Simm.
He died on 13 April 1996 after a short illness and was buried on 16 April, the feast day of Saint Magnus, with his funeral service held at the Church of Scotland St Magnus Cathedral.
It was known as Colleville-sur-Orne until June 13, 1946, to distinguish it from another town in the department, also in a coastal location, Colleville-sur-Mer.
Built by Saint-Vigor, Bishop of the city of Bayeux (511-531), during the 11th and 12th centuries, it has two choirs and a Romanesque nave.
The other vaults are more recent, built at the same time as the arches which lead to the second choir, from the eighteenth century.
The side tower from the twelfth century is of Romanesque design, with a terrace on top surrounded by a parapet, and contains three bells.
During the conquest of England by William the Conqueror or following it, Gilbert de Colleville was given lands in England, it was from this Knight that the modern de Colville/Colvin family would develop, including Clan Colville in Scotland and the Barony de Colville, of Castle Bytham in England.
The beach next to the coastal village was one of the principal beachheads during the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944, designated Omaha Beach.
James Frederick Nicholson (born 29 January 1945) is a Northern Irish Ulster Unionist Party politician, who served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for Northern Ireland from 1989 to 2019.
He joined the Ulster Unionist Party in the early 1970s and was the Secretary/Organiser of Mid-South Armagh Unionist Association from 1973 to 1983.
He was elected to his first public office in 1976 as a member of Armagh council; he served until 1997 and was chairman of the council in 1994–95.
Nicholson was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Newry and Armagh in the 1983 general election for the UUP.
Along with all other unionist MPs, he resigned from the House of Commons in December 1985 as part of a wider protest against the Anglo-Irish Agreement of that year and to secure a renewed mandate from their electors.
Nicholson, who was defending the nationalist-majority Newry and Armagh constituency in the by-election, was the only resigning MP not to re-win his seat, losing it to Seamus Mallon of the moderate nationalist Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) in the by-election.
He contested the seat again at the 1987 general election but demographics in the area had shifted against unionism; nationalist and republican candidates have held it ever since.
At the 1989 election to the European Parliament, he was elected as a Member of the European Parliament for Northern Ireland.
On each occasion, he was re-elected with the help of transfers from other candidates, under Northern Ireland's EU election system of proportional representation using the single transferable vote.
In 2009, running as a Conservatives and Unionists candidate, he was elected second ahead of the Democratic Unionist Party, who for the first time failed to reach quota in a European Parliament election.
In 1999, he joined the European Democrats wing of the European People's Party - European Democrats group, the largest group in the Parliament, a eurosceptic wing which also contained the UK's Conservative MEPs.
He was one of six Quaestors in the European Parliament, becoming the first ever MEP from Northern Ireland to hold such a senior position when elected on 21 July 2004; he was re-elected in 2007.
In 2016, Nicholson voiced his concerns about the way in which the EU has changed since he first became an MEP.
took it over in April 2017, is an American awards show, recognizing people in entertainment, voted online by the general public and fans.
The show has been held annually since 1975, with the winners originally determined using Gallup Polls until the switch to online voting in 2005.
In 1982, Stiver sold the People's Choice Awards to Procter & Gamble Productions; under P&G, the ceremony was broadcast by CBS, and Procter & Gamble's brands held exclusive national advertising time across the entire telecast.
announced that the 2018 ceremony would be held on November 11, 2018—moving from its previous January scheduling to reduce its proximity to the busier months of awards season.
Since polls have margins of error, many years' awards have had ties in at least one category, when Gallup declared that the voting was so close that a single winner could not be chosen.
The winners of the 31st People's Choice Awards (on January 9, 2005) were decided by online voting rather than Gallup polls.
The nominees for the 32nd People's Choice Awards were determined by the web research company Knowledge Networks, which took a nationally representative sample of men and women ages 18 to 54, with and without Internet access, to come up with the nominees.
After being presented with a list of candidates determined by national ratings averages, box office grosses and album sales, they had the option to write in their favorites.
Knowledge Networks recruits its panel by using a RDD phone recruitment method and provides a web TV and Internet access to households without Internet access enabling them to infer back to the entire population.
The nominees for the 2010 People's Choice Awards were determined by the media research company Visible Measures, which specializes in measuring Internet video audience behavior.
[...] Visible Measures worked with the People's Choice Awards to determine each potential nominees' popularity on a True Reach basis, a unique measure of the total audience that has been exposed to an online video campaign – regardless of how widely the campaign spreads or where it appears.
The population of this sleepy little village mushroomed after August Thyssen bought some land in 1909 and established a steel mill there.
Colombelles is twinned with Fremington, Devon (UK) since 1983 and with Steinheim am Albuch (Baden-Württemberg, Germany) since 1986 (see that article in ).

According to UHLC's 2013 ABA-required disclosures, 63.2% of the class of 2013 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-required employment nine months after graduation.
The University of Houston Law Center was founded in 1947 as the University of Houston College of Law, with an inaugural class consisting of 28 students and a single professor.
The law school was housed in several locations on campus in its first few years—including temporary classrooms and the basement of the M.D.
In 1969, the college was renamed the Bates College of Law for Col. William B. Bates, former member of the University of Houston System Board of Regents and College of Law founding committee.
In 2005, the University of Houston Law Center opened its facilities to Loyola University New Orleans College of Law after it was severely damaged in Hurricane Katrina, hosting 320 of the Loyola's 800 students taught by 31 Loyola law professors, allowing the Loyola students' education to continue uninterrupted.
As of fall 2014, the law school reported a total enrollment of 732 students, and employs a total of 273 full- and part-time faculty on staff.
Of the 2013 graduating class, 62% work in law firms, 23% in business and industry, 8% in government, 3% in public interest, and 2% as judicial clerks.
Entering classes are generally divided into three full-time day sessions of some 60 students each and one part-time evening section of some 35 students for first-year courses.
The Law Center offers several law clinics for upper-division students: the Civil Clinic, Civil Practice Clinic, Criminal Practice Clinic, Consumer Law Clinic, Domestic Violence Clinic, Immigration Clinic, Juvenile Defense Clinic, Mediation Clinic, and Transactional Clinic.
Tropical Storm Allison flooded the library's lower level with eight feet of water in June 2001, destroying 174,000 books and the microfiche collection.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) gave $21.4 million to rebuild the library collection, which was 75 percent of the replacement cost.
According to UHLC's official 2013 ABA-required disclosures, 63.2% of the Class of 2013 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-required employment nine months after graduation.
UHLC's Law School Transparency under-employment score is 16.5%, indicating the percentage of the Class of 2013 unemployed, pursuing an additional degree, or working in a non-professional, short-term, or part-time job nine months after graduation.
The total cost of attendance (indicating the cost of tuition, fees, and living expenses) at UHLC for the 2013–2014 academic year is $48,478 for a resident and $58,699 for a nonresident.
After being educated at the William Penn Charter School, he went to Northwestern University, where he earned his bachelor's degree with honors in journalism and political science.
Sirota's career in political campaigns began when he became a research director for Illinois State Senator Howard W. Carroll's unsuccessful run for U.S. Representative in Illinois's 9th congressional district in the 1998 election; Carroll lost in the Democratic primary to J.
In 1999, Sirota served as Dwight Evans' deputy mayoral campaign manager in Philadelphia but was let go after Sirota was caught having created a fake website with damaging racial comments attributed to their opponent John White, Jr. Sirota then became a fundraiser for Joe Hoeffel in his first successful campaign for the House of Representatives in Pennsylvania's 13th congressional district.
His next job was as press aide and spokesperson for Bernie Sanders while he was serving as the at-large U.S. Representative from Vermont.
Sirota was credited with having revealed that $87 billion for Iraq could have been used to erase huge state deficits at home, a fact that was repeated by Democrats nationwide.
Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential campaign announced it had hired Sirota to work as a senior advisor and speechwriter on March 19, 2019.
In June 2007, he replaced the late progressive columnist Molly Ivins with a column to be syndicated nationally by Creators Syndicate.
Sirota was initially filling in for Jay Marvin on his eponymous program; but Marvin was ultimately unable to return, and Sirota became the permanent host in 2010.
Sirota is a critic of neoliberal economic policies, and has leveled criticism at the Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama administrations.
He is an opponent of free trade policies, a supporter of fair trade, and an advocate of workers' rights and organized labor.
His detractors charge that Sirota overlooked that Venezuela's economic gains were based almost entirely on petroleum exports, and with the worldwide drop in oil prices Venezuela's economy has been in shambles, with shortages and rationing of food, electricity and toilet paper.
In 2018, Sirota argued immediate action must be taken against the influence and power of oil and gas corporations to fight climate change, and Democrats must choose a side.
Lanpher graduated with a degree in journalism from Northwestern University and with a master's degree in American Cultural History from the University of Chicago.
Near the time when the copyright to the English Revised Version was due to expire (1935), the Oxford University Press (OUP), and the Cambridge University Press (CUP), who were the current English Revised Version copyright holders, began investigations to determine whether a modern revision of the English Revised Version text was necessary.
After the work of delegation was finished, a general conference was held in October 1946 where it was determined that a completely fresh translation should be undertaken rather than a revision as originally suggested by the University Presses of Oxford and Cambridge.
In due time, three committees of translators and one committee of literary advisers were enlisted and charged with the task of producing the New English Bible.
The work of translating was typically undertaken in this fashion: A member, or members, of one of the committees would produce a draft of a book, or books, of the Bible (typically from the section in which they were assigned) and submit the draft to the section committee.
Occasionally a scholar outside the committee would be invited to participate in this phase of the translation process and was asked to submit a draft of the book or books with which he or she had renowned experience.
The draft that resulted from this meeting of the concerned committee was then sent to the committee of literary advisers, who would revise the draft in co-operation with the translators.
When a consensus on the draft was reached, the final draft would be sent on to the Joint Committee, which was head over the four sub-committees.
For the New Testament the New English Bible Translators relied on a large body of texts including early Greek New Testament manuscripts, early translations rendered in other languages (those aside from Greek), and the quotations of early Christian writers and speakers.
The translators of the New English Bible chose to render their translation using a principle of translation called dynamic equivalence (also referred to as functional equivalence or thought-for-thought translation).
This method of translation is in contrast to the traditional translations of the Authorized Version (King James Version), English Revised Version, American Standard Version, Revised Standard Version, and others, which place an emphasis on word-for-word correspondence between the source and target language.
As a result, the New English Bible is necessarily more paraphrastic at times in order to render the thoughts of the original author into modern English.
Because of its scholarly translators, the New English Bible has been considered one of the more important translations of the Bible to be produced following the Second World War.
However, directly following the Second World War the English of the United Kingdom and Europe began to be influenced by foreign idiom, especially that of the Americans.
For this reason, passages found in the New English Bible could be understood by a large body of English speaking individuals.
The British publisher and author Adam Nicolson, in his 2003 book on the King James Bible, criticized the newer translation for its 'anxiety not to bore or intimidate'.
In relation to the issue of gender inclusiveness, the New English Bible was produced before a time when gender-inclusive language was introduced into Bible translations.
However, using this traditional literary method has become recently controversial, among some Christian circles, and a revision of the New English Bible titled the Revised English Bible was undertaken that included gender-inclusive language.

In 1965, the paper began a press run of four days a week with a release schedule of Tuesday through Friday.
Jar of Flies is the third studio EP by the American rock band Alice in Chains, released on January 25, 1994, through Columbia Records.
The EP was self-produced by the band and recorded over the course of a week at the London Bridge Studio in Seattle.
During Alice in Chains' June–August 1993 appearance at Lollapalooza, guitarist Jerry Cantrell called record producer Toby Wright with a proposal to collaborate on new material.
The album was recorded on tape on a Neve 80-68 mixing console because Wright wanted the album's acoustic sound to be as natural as possible.
AKG 414 microphones were used for overhead registration, while D-12s were used for the floor and rack toms, and 421s were placed on the kick drum.
451s and 57s were mounted on the top side of the snare drum, while a 441 was fitted on the bottom side.
Wright recalled the pace of Staley's work as quick, and that the vocal tracks were recorded within one or two takes via a Neumann M-49 microphone.
The album demonstrates the band's wide range by offering a variety of tracks with an acoustic texture, featuring elements of album-oriented rock, blues rock, alternative rock, and classic rock.
On January 27, 2019, two days following the album's 25th anniversary, Schenck published rare outtakes from the album cover shoot on his Instagram account and said that he has forgotten the name of the kid on the cover.
It is written as a pastiche of a Sherlock Holmes adventure, and was made into a film of the same name in 1976.
The novel presents this view as nothing more than the fevered imagining of Holmes' cocaine-sodden mind and further asserts that Moriarty was the childhood mathematics tutor of Sherlock and his brother Mycroft.
Watson meets Moriarty, who denies that he is a criminal and reluctantly threatens to pursue legal action unless the latter's accusations cease.
Knowing that Sherlock would never willingly see a doctor about his addiction and mental problems, Watson and Holmes' brother Mycroft induce Holmes to travel to Vienna, where Watson introduces him to Dr. Freud.
Using a treatment consisting largely of hypnosis, Freud helps Holmes shake off his addiction and his delusions about Moriarty, but neither he nor Watson can revive Holmes' dejected spirit.
What finally does the job is a whiff of mystery: one of the doctor's patients is kidnapped and Holmes' curiosity is sufficiently aroused.
The case takes the three men on a breakneck train ride across Austria in pursuit of a foe who is about to launch a war involving all of Europe.
One final hypnosis session reveals a key traumatic event in Holmes' childhood: his father murdered his mother for adultery and committed suicide afterwards.
Freud and Watson conclude that Holmes, consciously unable to face the emotional ramifications of this event, has pushed them deep into his unconscious while finding outlets in fighting evil, pursuing justice, and many of his famous eccentricities, including his cocaine habit.
However, they decide not to discuss these subjects with Holmes, believing that he would not accept them, and that it would needlessly complicate his recovery.
Meyer developed an interest in Sherlock Holmes as a teenager and off-an-on over the years had given thought to authoring a story where Sherlock Holmes meets Sigmund Freud, having learned of the founder of psychoanalysis from his psychiatrist father.
The story was adapted for the screen in 1976 in a Universal Studios production, directed by Herbert Ross, scripted by Meyer and designed by James Bond veteran Ken Adam.
The film was made at Pinewood Studios with location shooting in the UK and Austria (including the famous Austrian National Library); the tennis match/duel between Freud and von Leinsdorf was filmed on one of the historic real tennis courts at the Queen's Club in West Kensington, London.
Meyer adapted his novel to screenplay form, but the film differs significantly from the novel, mainly by supplementing the book's Austrian baron-villain (played by Jeremy Kemp) with an older Turkish foe.
Also, the film departs from traditional Holmes canon in portraying the detective as light-haired instead of the traditional black-haired, and as a somewhat flirtatious Holmes at that (Doyle's hero never let women see any signs of interest).
Furthermore, the traumatic revelation that affected Holmes in his childhood is heightened – the final hypnosis therapy reveals that Sherlock witnessed his mother's murder by his father, and that Moriarty himself was his mother's lover.
Finally, the lady whom Holmes saves in the story's climactic chase, Lola Devereaux, appears on his ship as he departs for his sabbatical with the purpose of joining him and Holmes eagerly accepts the offer.
Sanskrit literature begins with the oral literature of the Rig Veda a collection of sacred hymns dating to the period 1500–1200 BCE.
Classical Sanskrit literature developed rapidly during the first few centuries of the first millennium BCE, as did the Tamil Sangam literature, and the Pāli Canon.
Eight Jnanpith Awards each have been awarded in Hindi and Kannada, followed by five in Bengali and Malayalam, four in Odia, four in Gujarati, Marathi, Telugu and Urdu, two each in Assamese and Tamil, and one in Sanskrit.
One of the earliest extant Prakrit works is Hāla's anthology of poems in Maharashtri, the Gāhā Sattasaī, dating to the 3rd to 5th century CE.
Most of the available Sangam literature is from the Third Sangam, this period is known as the Sangam period, which refers to the prevalent Sangam legends claiming literary academies lasting thousands of years, giving the name to the corpus of literature.
Some of the greatest Tamil scholars, like Thiruvalluvar, who wrote on ethics, and on the various issues of life like virtue, wealth and love, or the Tamil poet Mamulanar, who explored historical incidents that happened in India, lived during the Sangam period.
In the time of the King Indranarayana (1350–1365) of Kamatapur the two poets Harihara Vipra and Kaviratna Saraswati composed Asvamedha Parva and Jayadratha Vadha respectively.
But the most well-known poet of the Pre-Vaishnavite sub period is Madhav Kandali, who rendered Valmiki's Ramayana into Assamese verse (Kotha Ramayana, 11th century) under the patronage of Mahamanikya, a Kachari king of Jayantapura.
Among these, Srimanta Sankardev has been widely acknowledged as the top Assamese littérateur of all-time, and generally acknowledged as the one who introduced drama, poetry, classical dance form called Satriya, classical music form called Borgeet, art and painting, stage enactment of drama called Bhaona and Satra tradition of monastic lifestyle.
This book was officially released in New Delhi on 24 Nov 1968 by then President of India Dr Zakir Hussain in commemoration of the birth centenary celebration of doyen of Assamese literature Lakshminath Bezbaroa.
After almost half a century, this historic book has been recovered and re-edited by Assamese award-winning short-story writer & novelist Arnab Jan Deka, which was published by Assam Foundation-India in 2014.
Kazi Nazrul Islam, who is one generation younger than Tagore, is also equally popular, valuable, and influential in socio-cultural context of the Bengal, though virtually unknown in foreign countries.
Along with Rabindranath Tagore and Kazi Nazrul Islam, he was one of the key figures of modern Bengali poetry, despite the fact that most of his works had been in publication posthumously.
During his life, his poems were not widely circulated, but after his death his reputation grew to the extent that he became one of the most popular Bengali poet of the 20th century.
In the history of Bengali literature there has been only one pathbreaking literary movement by a group of poets and artists who called themselves Hungryalists.
In the 20th century, several Indian writers have distinguished themselves not only in traditional Indian languages but also in English, a language inherited from the British.
Indian English literature, however, tends to utilise more internationally recognisable vocabulary then does colloquial Indian English, in the same way that American English literature does so as compared to American slang.
India's only Nobel laureate in literature was the Bengali writer Rabindranath Tagore, who wrote some of his work originally in English, and did some of his own English translations from Bengali.
Other early notable poets in English include Derozio, Michael Madhusudan Dutt, Toru Dutt, Romesh Chunder Dutt, Sri Aurobindo, Sarojini Naidu, and her brother Harindranath Chattopadhyay.
In the 1950s, the Writers Workshop collective in Calcutta was founded by the poet and essayist P. Lal to advocate and publish Indian writing in English.
The press was the first to publish Pritish Nandy, Sasthi Brata, and others; it continues to this day to provide a forum for English writing in India.
Nissim Ezekiel, who came from India's tiny Bene Israel Jewish community, created a voice and place for Indian poets writing in English and championed their work.
Their contemporaries in English poetry in India were Jayanta Mahapatra, Gieve Patel, A. K. Ramanujan, Arun Kolatkar, Dilip Chitre, Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, Eunice De Souza, Kersi Katrak, P. Lal and Kamala Das among several others.
Younger generations of poets writing in English include G. S. Sharat Chandra, Hoshang Merchant, Makarand Paranjape, Anuradha Bhattacharyya, Arundhathi Subramaniam, Jeet Thayil, Ranjit Hoskote, Sudeep Sen, Abhay K, Jerry Pinto, K Srilata, Gopi Kottoor, Tapan Kumar Pradhan, Arnab Jan Deka, Anju Makhija, Robin Ngangom, Rukmini Bhaya Nair, Smita Agarwal and Vihang A. Naik among others.
Among these are names like Agha Shahid Ali, Sujata Bhatt, Richard Crasta, Yuyutsu Sharma, Shampa Sinha, Tabish Khair and Vikram Seth.
Salman Rushdie, Arundhati Roy, Kiran Desai and Arvind Adiga have won the prestigious Man Booker Prize, with Salman Rushdie going on to win the Booker of Bookers.
Well known laureates of Gujarati literature are Hemchandracharya, Narsinh Mehta, Mirabai, Akho, Premanand Bhatt, Shamal Bhatt, Dayaram, Dalpatram, Narmad, Govardhanram Tripathi, Gandhi, K. M. Munshi, Umashankar Joshi, Suresh Joshi, Pannalal Patel and Rajendra Keshavlal Shah.
Gujarat Vidhya Sabha, Gujarat Sahitya Sabha, and Gujarati Sahitya Parishad are Ahmedabad based literary institutions promoting the spread of Gujarati literature.
Umashankar Joshi, Pannalal Patel, Rajendra Keshavlal Shah and Raghuveer Chaudhary have won the Jnanpith Award, the highest literary award in India.
It is a writing on literary criticism and poetics meant to standardize various written Kannada dialects used in literature in previous centuries.
The book makes reference to Kannada works by early writers such as King Durvinita of the 6th century and Ravikirti, the author of the Aihole record of 636 CE.
Since the earliest available Kannada work is one on grammar and a guide of sorts to unify existing variants of Kannada grammar and literary styles, it can be safely assumed that literature in Kannada must have started several centuries earlier.
More importantly, they held a mirror to the seed of social revolution, which caused a radical re-examination of the ideas of caste, creed and religion.
The Bhakti movement gave rise to Dasa Sahitya around the 15th century which significantly contributed to the evolution of Carnatic music in its present form.
Works of Kannada literature have received Eight Jnanpith awards, which is the highest number awarded for the literature in any Indian language.
Appachcha Kavi, a playwright, and Nadikerianda Chinnappa, a folk compiler, are the two important poets and writers of the Kodava language.
It is one of the few Indian languages to be written in five scripts—Roman, Nagari, Kannada, Persian-Arabic and Malayalam-and also has an extensive oral literature.
Even up to 500 years since the start of the Malayalam calendar which commenced in 825 AD, Malayalam literature remained in preliminary stage.
Thunchaththu Ramanujan Ezhuthachan (17th century) is considered as the Father of the Malayalam language, because of his influence on the acceptance of the Malayalam alphabet and his extremely popular poetic works like Adhyathmaramayanam.
Several noted works were written during the 19th century, but it was in the 20th century the Malayalam literary movement came to prominence.
Meitei literature is literature written in the Meitei language (Manipuri, Meiteilon), including literature composed in Meitei by writers from Manipur, Assam, Tripura, Myanmar and Bangladesh.
Though the earliest known Marathi inscription found at the foot of the statue at Shravanabelgola in Karnataka is dated c. 983 CE, the Marathi literature actually started with the religious writings by the saint-poets belonging to Mahanubhava and Warkari sects.
The early saint-poets were Mukundaraj who wrote Vivekasindhu, Dnyaneshwar (1275–1296) (who wrote Amrutanubhav and Bhawarthadeepika, which is popularly known as Dnyaneshwari, a 9000-couplets long commentary on the Bhagavad Gita) and Namdev.
In the 18th century, some well-known works like Yatharthadeepika (by Vaman Pandit), Naladamayanti Swayamvara (by Raghunath Pandit), Pandava Pratap, Harivijay, Ramvijay (by Shridhar Pandit) and Mahabharata (by Moropant) were produced.
However, the most versatile and voluminous writer among the poets was Moropanta (1729–1794) whose Mahabharata was the first epic poem in Marathi.
The period from 1794 to 1818 is regarded as the closing period of the Old Marathi literature and the beginning of the Modern Marathi literature.
Many books on social reforms were written by Baba Padamji (Yamuna Paryatana, 1857), Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Lokhitwadi, Justice Mahadev Govind Ranade, Hari Narayan Apte (1864–1919) etc.
The drama flourished in the 1960s and 70s with few of the best Indian actors available to take on a variety of protagonists.
Mohan Agashe, Sriram Lagoo, Kashinath Ghanekar, Prabhakar Panshikar playing many immortal characters penned by greats like Vasant Kanetkar, Kusumagraj, vijay Tendulkar to name a few.
Director Raja Paranjape, Music director Sudhir Phadke, lyricist G.Madgulkar and actor Raja Gosavi came together to give quite a few hits in later period.
The later poets like Keshavsuta, Balakavi, Govindagraj, and the poets of Ravi Kiran Mandal like Madhav Julian wrote poetry which was influenced by the Romantic and Victorian English poetry.
Prahlad Keshav Atre, the renowned satirist and a politician wrote a parody of this sort of poetry in his collection Jhenduchi Phule.
Mizo literature is the literature written in Mizo ṭtawng, the principal language of the Mizo peoples, which has both written and oral traditions.
The language developed mainly from the Lushai language, with significant influence from Pawi language, Paite language and Hmar language, especially at the literary level.
In fact the language was initially standardized through a process of translation of classical Sanskrit texts like the Mahabharata, the Ramayana and the Srimad Bhagavatam.
In the 19th century, Swabhab Kavi Gangadhar Meher (1862-1924), Fakir Mohan Senapati (1843–1918), Gouri Shankar Ray, Gopal Chandra Praharaj, Pandit Nilmani Vidyaratna, Kabibar Radhanath Ray were few of the prominent figures in prose and poetry writings of Odia literature.
In the 20th century Godabarish Mohapatra, Kalindi Charana Panigrahi, Kanhu Charan Mohanty (1906–1994), Godabarish Mishra, Gopinath Mohanty (1914–1991), Sachidananda Routray (1916–2004), Sitakant Mahapatra (born 17 September 1937), Surendra Mohanty, Manoj Das, Kishori Charan Das, Ramakanta Rath (born 13 December 1934), Binapani Mohanty, Jagadish Mohanty, Sarojini Sahoo, Rajendra Kishore Panda, Padmaj Pal, Ramchandra Behera, Pratibha Satpathy, Nandini Sahu, Debaraj Samantray are few names who created Odia literature.
Along with West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh tookaway many parts of Odisha letting Odisha into nothingness and despair.
But they were unaware of the fact that Odia language is older than Bengali and even one of the oldest languages in the World.
Due to the immense contributions and sacrifices of pioneers like Fakirmohan Senapati, Gopabandhu Das, Madhusudan Das, Nilakantha Das, Gourishankar Ray, Maharaja Krushna Chandra Gajapati and many more, Odisha and Odia language got back its special identity and has stood tall among the best in the country.
Nanak himself composed Punjabi verse incorporating vocabulary from Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian, and other Indic languages as characteristic of the Gurbani tradition.
In contrast to Persian poets who had preferred the ghazal for poetic expression, Punjabi Sufi poets tended to compose in the Kafi.
Punjabi Sufi poetry also influenced other Punjabi literary traditions particularly the Punjabi Qissa, a genre of romantic tragedy which also derived inspiration from Indic, Persian and Qur'anic sources.
The Victorian novel, Elizabethan drama, free verse and Modernism entered Punjabi literature through the introduction of British education during colonial rule.
It needs to be pointed out here that ‘modernism’ is being used here as an umbrella term to cover a whole range of developments in the Punjabi literary culture, starting with the break from tradition or the past to a commitment to progressive ideology, from the experimental nature of the avant-garde to the newness of the forward-looking.
The history of Tamil literature follows the history of Tamil Nadu, closely following the social and political trends of various periods.
The secular nature of the early Sangam poetry gave way to works of religious and didactic nature during the Middle Ages.
Jain and Buddhist authors during the medieval period and Muslim and European authors later also contributed to the growth of Tamil literature.
A revival of Tamil literature took place from the late 19th century when works of religious and philosophical nature were written in a style that made it easier for the common people to enjoy.
Vemana was a prince, also called Pedakomati or Vemaa Reddy, who lived in the 14th century and wrote poems in the language of the common man.
Telugu literature has been enriched by many literary movements, like the Veera Shaiva movement which gave birth to dwipada kavitvam (couplets).
The Romantic Movement (led by Krishnasashtri, Rayaprolu, Vedula), Progressive Writers Movement, Digambara Kavitvam (Nagnamuni, Cherabanda Raju, Jwalamukhi, Nikhileswar, Bhairavayya and Mahaswapna Revolutionary Writers' Movement, Streevada Kavitvam and Dalita Kavitvam all flourished in Telugu literature.
Kodavatiganti Kutumba Rao laid the foundation for the realistic modern Telugu novel and short story, and Rachakonda and Kalipatnam carried the flag in to excellency.
Arab and Persian vocabulary based on the Hindi language resulted in a vast and extremely beloved class of ghazal literature, usually written by Muslims in contexts ranging from romance and society to philosophy and Tassawuf (Sufism).
It is surely the most refined, enriched, sophisticated and ripended language and literature, producing poets like, Mir, Ghalib, Iqbal, Zauq and Faiz.
The poetry of Mohammed Iqbal invoked a spirit of freedom among the Muslims of India, thus contributing a pivotal role in the making of Pakistan.
The art of short story was further taken ahead by Manto, Bedi, Krishn Chander and a host of highly acclaimed writers.
Towards the end of the 20th century Urdu novel entered into a new phase with trend setter novel MAKAAN of Paigham Afaqui.
Urdu ghazal has also recently changed its colour with more and more penetration in and synchronization with modern and contemporary issues of life.
During the early Muslim period, Persian became the official language of the northern part of Indian subcontinent, used by most of the educated and the government.
The language had, from its earliest days in the 11th century AD, been imported to the subcontinent by various culturally Persianised Central Asian Turkic and Afghan dynasties.
Several Indians became major Persian poets later on, the most notable being Amir Khusro and, in more modern times, Muhammad Iqbal.
Persian still held its status, despite the spread of Urdu, well into the early years of the British rule in India.
In 1837, however, the British, in an effort to expand their influence, made a government ruling to discontinue the use of Persian and commence the use of English instead.
Thus started the decline of Persian as most of the subcontinent's official governmental language, a position to be taken up by the new language of the British Raj, English.
The troubled political climate, the beautiful landscape and the confluence of various ethnic groups perhaps have given rise to a body of writing that is completely different from Indian English Literature.
It was a weekly newspaper and generally dealt with the arrival and departure of Europeans, timings of steamers, fashionable news from London, Paris and Vienna, and personal news.
In the year 1781, Hicky's Bengal Gazette was forced to close down after Hicky published a scandalous story about Warren Hastings, the then Governor-General and his wife.
Between 1860 and 1899, hundreds of newspapers came up demanding freedom of expression and criticizing the repressive measures taken by the British.
Another significant factor was that during this period a large number of colleges imparting science and liberal arts education sprang up in the major towns of India.
Malayala Manorama, the second oldest newspaper in Kerala was started in 1890, and was the first newspaper to be published by a joint stock company formed solely for the purpose of publishing a newspaper.
The first Marathi newspaper was Darpan- a bilingual fortnightly in Englisha and Marathi, started by a professor of the Elphinstone College of Bombay.
Despite the numerous columns and articles demanding political and social reforms, journalism during the 19th century had little impact on the Indian masses, due to widespread illiteracy and poverty.
In 1947, the major English newspaper in India were the Times of India (Bombay), Statesman (Calcutta), Hindu (Madras), Hindustan Times (New Delhi), Indian Express (Bombay & Madras) Amrita Bazaar Patrika (Calcutta).
Of these, the Times of India, Statesman & Pioneer were under British ownership till 1964, when it came under a group of Indian business.
During the long struggle for India's Independence, the major English newspaper that served the national cause were the Hindu (1878), Amrita Bazaar Patrika (1868), & Hindustan Times (1924).
Among the Indian language newspapers, the prominent ones were, Ananda bazaar Patrika (1922), Sakal (1931), Mumbai Samachar (1822), Malayala Manorama (1890) & Mathrubhumi (1930).
There also are seven other daily newspapers with circulations of between 134,000 and 477,000, all in English and all competitive with one another.
For example, the Malayalam-language daily Malayala Manorama circulates 673,000 copies in Kerala; the Hindi-language Dainik Jagran circulates widely in Uttar Pradesh and New Delhi, with 580,000 copies per day; Punjab Kesari, also published in Hindi and available throughout Punjab and New Delhi, has a daily circulation of 562,000; and the Anandabazar Patrika, published in Calcutta in Bengali, has a daily circulation of 435,000.
The combined circulation of India's newspapers and periodicals is in the order of 60 million, published daily in more than ninety languages.
During the summer of 1975, as Indira Gandhi became increasingly threatened by the mounting criticisms of her government, she declared a state of emergency.
The emergency was declared as a result of mounting political pressure exerted upon the government from opposing political parties which were striving to fight corruption, inflation and economic chaos in the country.
Indira Gandhi's government, rather than taking this as a political challenge, resorted to declaring a national emergency and imprisoning the opposition party leaders, including all dissenting voices from the media.
The government expelled several foreign correspondents (mainly American and British) and withdrew accreditation from more than 40 Indian reporters who normally covered the capital.
Unlike the American Constitution or others In which freedom of the press is mentioned as one of the fundamental rights, the Indian Constitution doesn't specifically mention freedom of the press.
And with the airwaves already under government ownership, Indira Gandhi successfully controlled the mass communication system in India for over a year and a half.
But two tough, prominent publishers of English language dailies, The Indian Express and The Statesman, fought courageously against Indira Gandhi's opposition of the Indian press.
Despite some bold fights and stubborn stands taken up by these publishers, it was quite clear that Indira Gandhi had as strong a grip on the Indian press as she had on Indian politics, at least during the government-imposed emergency.
For her, this was to be effectuated not merely by controlling the Indian mass media but also by moulding the media to her own purpose.
It has now become a well-known fact that during the emergency Indira Gandhi had a firm grip on the Indian mass media.
This was especially true since radio and television in India are government owned and operated; for Indira, there was the simple matter of controlling the newspapers in order to achieve a total control of the mass media.
The Indian newspapers depend a great deal on governmental advertising; without such revenues, it would be difficult for many Indian newspapers to stay in business.
The large-scale possibility of such manipulation, however, was not fully demonstrated until Indira Gandhi's government decided to take advantage of this unique circumstance.
In the beginning of censorship, when a few leading newspapers such as The Indian Express and The Statesman refused to abide the governmental censorship, the government withdrew its advertising support from these newspapers.
The second and perhaps more profound way of manipulating the news flow resulted from the governmental decision to bring about a shot-gun merger of the four privately owned Indian news agencies; the main purpose behind this merger was to alter the management and control of the Indian news agencies and thus to control much of the content of the leading newspapers.
Since these agencies had been acting as the gatekeepers of information, it was essential for Indira Gandhi and her Information and Broadcasting Minister, Mr. V.C.
For example, the government-owned Post and Telegraph Department was ordered to impose a suspension of services to the United News of India if it resisted the merger.
The manipulation of these four news agencies was so effective that hardly a voice was raised to resist the governmental perfidy.
A third and an equally effective method applied by Indira Gandhi was to use fear-arousal techniques on the newspaper publishers, editors, reporters and shareholders.
Such techniques were imposed by making false charges with regard to tax arreas, possible reductions in newsprint quotas and imprisonment of publishers.
Writers are thus impartial to any caste or race but they makes use of caste to create the back ground of their stories.
Stein was born on August 27, 1916, in Detroit, Michigan, and his family moved to New York during the Great Depression.
Stein, who died September 8, 1999, in Washington, D.C. was married to Mildred Stein, who died in 1997 after 61 years of marriage.
He regarded his exposition of the virtues of the free market as his main contribution to policy, and the purpose for which his economic analysis was developed.
Yet he was prepared to accept or propose qualifications to that policy in the specific cases where he judged that their net effect would be beneficial and would not undermine the basically free character of the system.
Stein observed this logic in analyzing economic trends (such as rising U.S. Federal debt in proportion to GDP, or increasing international balance of payments deficits, in his analysis): if such a process is limited by external factors, there is no urgency for government intervention to stop it, much less to make it stop immediately; it will stop of its own accord.
In countries with a history of female infanticide, the modern practice of sex-selective abortion is often discussed as a closely related issue.
It has been argued that the low status in which women are viewed in patriarchal societies creates a bias against females.
In 1978, anthropologist Laila Williamson, in a summary of data she had collated on how widespread infanticide was, found that infanticide had occurred on every continent and was carried out by groups ranging from hunter gatherers to highly developed societies, and that, rather than this practice being an exception, it has been commonplace.
Miller contends that female infanticide is commonplace in regions where women are not employed in agriculture and regions in which dowries are the norm.
Initially Sen's suggestion of gender bias was contested and it was suggested that hepatitis B was the cause of the alteration in the natural sex ratio.
However it is now widely accepted that the numerical worldwide deficit in women is due to gender specific abortions, infanticide and neglect.
With the arrival of Christian missionaries in the late sixteenth century, the missionaries discovered female infanticide was being practiced – newborns were seen thrown into rivers or onto rubbish piles.
In the seventeenth century, Matteo Ricci documented that the practice occurred in several of China's provinces and that the primary reason for the practice was poverty.
Leaving a child exposed to the elements was another method of killing an infant: the child would be placed in a basket which was then placed in a tree.
In 1845 in the province of Jiangxi, a missionary wrote that these children survived for up to two days while exposed to the elements, and that those passing by would pay no attention.
In 1878, French Jesuit missionary Gabriel Palatre collected documents from 13 provinces, and the Annales de la Sainte-Enfance (Annals of the Holy Childhood) also found evidence of infanticide in Shanxi and Sichuan.
According to the information collected by Palatre, the practice was more widely spread in the southeastern provinces and in the Lower Yangzi River region.
Buddhists wrote that the killing of young girls would bring bad karma; conversely, those who saved a young girl's life either through intervening or through presents of money or food would earn good karma, leading to a prosperous life, a long life and success for their sons.
However the Buddhist belief in reincarnation meant that the death of an infant was not final, as the child would be reborn; this belief eased the guilt felt over female infanticide.
The Confucian emphasis on the family led to increasing dowries which in turn led to a girl being far more expensive to raise than a boy, causing families to feel they could not afford as many daughters.
Conversely the Confucian belief of Ren led Confucian intellectuals to support the idea that female infanticide was wrong and that the practice would upset the balance between yin and yang.
The state's official position on the practice is that it is a carryover from feudal times, and is not a result of the states one-child policy.
The dowry system in India is one given reason for female infanticide; over a time period spanning centuries it has become embedded within Indian culture.
Although the state has taken steps to abolish the dowry system, the practice persists, and for poorer families in rural regions female infanticide and gender selective abortion is attributed to the fear of being unable to raise a suitable dowry and then being socially ostracized.
A letter from a magistrate who was stationed in the North West of India during this period spoke of the fact that for several hundred years no daughter had ever been raised in the strongholds of the Rajahs of Mynpoorie.
A review of scholarship has shown that the majority of female infanticides in India during the colonial period occurred for the most part in the North West, and that although not all groups carried out this practice, it was indeed widespread.
In 1870, after an investigation by the colonial authorities the practice was made illegal, with the Female Infanticide Prevention Act, 1870.
The United Nations has declared that India is the most deadly country for female children, and that in 2012 female children aged between 1 and 5 were 75 percent more likely to die as opposed to boys.
The children's rights group CRY has estimated that of the 12 million females born yearly in India, 1 million will have died within their first year of life.
During British rule, the practice of female infanticide in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu among the Kallars and the Todas was reported.
In Pakistan female infanticide is practiced as female children are seen as a financial burden due to the dowry the parents have to pay when their daughter reaches a marriageable age.
It also poses an issue with feelings of female worth, as families wanting to eradicate female babies teach the young girls in their society that they are inferior to the opposite sex, making it more likely that they face oppression and have reduced access to jobs.
The dowry system has an effect on the families and poverty line, as some families struggle to pay a dowry while earning below the minimum wage.
As of 2017 Pakistani women earn less than their male counterparts, earning under a hundred rupees a month, and are often unable to receive an education that would allow them to have better working hours and pay.
Some are also restricted to only working within the home, while men are allowed to do the majority of crop work and herding.
The study found that economic utility indicates that boys are valued more than girls due to the fact that boys can work and bring in money to the household.
Due to the sociocultural utility factor of female infanticide, for many cultures having a boy in the family is mandatory in order to carry out the legacy of the family line.
Many believe that men are the only ones that can provide, and sons are viewed as mandatory in order to kindle the funeral pyre of their late parents and to assist in the soul’s salvation.
There are Non-Government Developmental Organizations (NGDOS) which have gender awareness policies that are designed to prevent female discrimination all over the world.
The organization mostly sees the importance of educating the men who are in the work force on the issues of women within society.
Therefore, the men are able to sympathize with the women in terms of how being a women in society may make you feel inferior.
Another solution would be to eradicate the dowry system so that families will not have pay such a heavy price for their daughters.
Thus will allow females to become individuals being able to raise their social status in terms of women being provided with a better salary.
The Girl Child Protection Scheme is an organization that is designed to set up cradles near stores so that families who have mostly daughters may leave them in a safe place, instead of engaging in the practice of killing the female.
Educating young girls and women about the purpose of female infanticide will help them to become aware of how important women are in society being able to become independent.
Also, with more women being able to contribute to the work force, society will be able to move above the poverty line.
Sympathizing with women's suffrage in countries limiting women’s rights will add to the battle in which women fight for freedoms in their home state.
Building upon gender equality in education and teaching women strategies to cope with their situations will help them grow confidence and want to spread their knowledge and passions with their female children.
Having women respect themselves and their own children for who they are will increase the population, and it will increase the value of women.
One of the consequences resulting from this male surplus in these populations is too many males not having females to marry.
According to DCAF the demographic shortfall of women who have died for gender related issues is in the same range as the 191 million estimated dead from all conflicts in the twentieth century.
To qualify as a biodiversity hotspot on Myers 2000 edition of the hotspot-map, a region must meet two strict criteria: it must contain at least 0.5% or 1,500 species of vascular plants as endemics, and it has to have lost at least 70% of its primary vegetation.
These sites support nearly 60% of the world's plant, bird, mammal, reptile, and amphibian species, with a very high share of those species as endemics.
Some of these hotspots support up to 15,000 endemic plant species and some have lost up to 95% of their natural habitat.
Biodiversity hotspots host their diverse ecosystems on just 2.3% of the planet's surface, however, the area defined as hotspots covers a much larger proportion of the land.
Overall, the current hotspots cover more than 15.7% of the land surface area, but have lost around 85% of their habitat.
This loss of habitat explains why approximately 60% of the world's terrestrial life lives on only 2.3% of the land surface area.
By the influence of that the central government of India arrived a new authority named CAMPA (Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority) to control the destruction of forests and biological spots in India.
A recent series of papers has pointed out that biodiversity hotspots (and many other priority region sets) do not address the concept of cost.
The purpose of biodiversity hotspots is not simply to identify regions that are of high biodiversity value, but to prioritize conservation spending.
The cost of land is likely to vary between these regions by an order of magnitude or more, but the biodiversity hotspot designations do not consider the conservation importance of this difference.
The word is often used to express that what follows is not an exact quotation but instead gives a general feel for what was said.
Especially since the late 20th century onward, it has appeared, in addition to its traditional uses, as a colloquialism across all dialects of spoken English, serving as a discourse particle, filler, hedge, speech disfluency, or other metalinguistic unit.
It may also be used in a systemic format to allow individuals to introduce what they say, how they say and think.
In the UK Reality Television Series Love Island the word ‘Like’ has been used an average of 300 times per episode, much to the annoyance of viewers.
He is initially depicted as a glory-seeking showboat from the future, using knowledge of historical events and futuristic technology to stage high-publicity heroics.
Booster develops over the course of his publication history and through personal tragedies to become a true hero weighed down by the reputation he created for himself.
At Gotham U., Michael was a star quarterback until his father reentered his life and convinced him to deliberately lose games for gambling purposes.
Later he was able to secure a job as a night watchman at the Metropolis Space Museum, where he studied displays about superheroes and villains from the past, particularly the 20th century.
With the help of a security robot named Skeets, Michael stole devices from the museum displays, including a Legion of Super-Heroes flight ring and Brainiac 5's force field belt.
He used Rip Hunter's Time Sphere, also on display in the museum, to travel to the 20th century, intent on becoming a superhero and forming a corporation based around himself to make a comfortable living.
He starts his hero career by preventing the shapeshifting assassin Chiller, an operative of The 1000, from killing the President of the United States and replacing him.
Amassing a small fortune, Booster founds Goldstar, Inc. (later Booster Gold International) as a holding company and hires Dirk Davis to act as his agent.
The duo's notable appearances include a stint as superhero repo men, and as the minds behind the construction of a gaming resort, Club JLI, on the living island Kooey Kooey Kooey.
After one too many embarrassments and longing for his old reputation, Booster quits the League to found The Conglomerate, a superhero team whose funding is derived from corporate sponsors.
Booster and his team are determined to behave as legitimate heroes, but find that their sponsors compromise them far too often.
Again, Blue Beetle comes to his aid, designing a suit that acts as a life support system in addition to replicating the powers of Booster's previous costumes.
While a member of this team, Booster makes a deal with the supervillain Monarch, who fully heals Booster's wounds so that he can once again remove his battle suit.
Skeets acts as its systems controller, who aids Booster and is able to take control of the costume if Booster is rendered unconscious.
A new costume is created by Professor Hamilton, based on the designs of both the original 25th century costume and the energy containment suit Superman was wearing at this time.
Booster is badly injured in an explosion at Kord's home, and it is revealed that his companion Skeets has been dismantled for its 25th century technology by the Checkmate organization.
At the series' end, he is ruined physically and emotionally, having destroyed much of his gear in the fight against the OMACs.
He discovered that another friend, Maxwell Lord, is responsible for killing Blue Beetle and that in fact, Lord always hated metahumans and superheroes.
In a moment of self-reflection, he realizes that if only he had bothered to recall more of what was history in his native era, he might have been able to warn his friends.
When Skeets fails to locate the absent Martian Manhunter, Booster searches for Jaime Reyes, the new Blue Beetle, whom he promptly takes to the Batcave.
Booster tells Batman the subject of the stolen records: Batman never finds Brother Eye, but Booster implies that, with Jaime's aid, they can succeed.
Booster attends the memorial, but when Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman do not arrive as he expects, he suspects his robot sidekick Skeets is malfunctioning and becomes hysterical.
After Skeets reports other incorrect historical data, Booster searches fellow time traveler Rip Hunter's desert bunker for answers, finding it littered with enigmatic scrawled notes.
His reputation ruined, Booster tries to regain the spotlight by containing an explosion, but appears to be killed in the attempt.
Skeets uses Booster's ancestor, Daniel Carter, to regain access to Hunter's lab, where he sees the photos and arrows pointing at him.
Supernova meets with Rip Hunter in the Bottle City of Kandor, and Hunter examines a number of high-tech items Supernova has brought him.
When Skeets discovers them, Supernova reveals himself to be Booster Gold and fights him, revealing how he and Rip Hunter used time travel to fake his death and create a rivalry between Booster and himself as Supernova.
Hunter and Booster attempt to trap Skeets in the Phantom Zone, but Skeets appears to eat the subdimension and pursues his two adversaries through time.
Booster later appears before Steel and Natasha Irons, stealing the nanobot missile they were about to use on Black Adam, saying he needs it more than they and that it would not have worked for its original purpose anyway; Booster promptly disappears.
During his time-hopping mission, he briefly stops in the far future, robbing the Dominators of an experimental weapon designed to deal with time travelers.
Skeets reveals itself to be Mister Mind in disguise, having used Skeets' shell as a cocoon to evolve into a being capable of devouring the Multiverse.
Mister Mind attempts to trap Booster and Rip in the Phantom Zone which he devoured when it was turned on him, but he is stopped by Supernova (now Daniel Carter, who was saved from the time loop he was trapped in by Rip and given Michael's outfit), who restores the Phantom Zone to its original place.
Using the scarab — along with Suspendium stolen by Rip Hunter, Skeets' mangled shell, and Supernova's powers — Rip, Booster, and Daniel trap Mister Mind inside Skeets and hurl it into the timestream, trapping Mister Mind within a repeating time loop of 52 seconds where he is captured by Doctor Sivana.
His resolution weakening with time, he starts using the suit to play video games instead, because he does not need to eat, drink, or sleep while wearing it.
Booster puts in a request to the Justice League that they admit him and the group begrudgingly decide to monitor him over the following week.
A new villainous Supernova arises after stealing Daniel's costume, and aided by evil time traveler Rex Hunter, intends to exploit weaknesses in history, keen on rewriting it and destroying the League (they are later revealed to in fact be working under the orders of the Ultra-Humanite, Despero, and Per Degaton).
As Booster is thought of as a buffoon, the person or persons behind the altering of time will not suspect he is thwarting them, but Booster must maintain his poor reputation to protect himself.
Booster's condition for following Rip's orders is that he may travel back in time to avert the death of his best friend, Ted Kord.
However, Booster suffers a tragedy when he is unable to stop Ted from entering a time sphere with the Black Beetle to change the past one final time, resetting history and sacrificing himself.
He is later transported to the 853rd century, where he faces off against Peter Platinum, a con artist who is attempting to outdo Booster at making money off of heroic acts.
Batman tells Booster that he knew about Booster's attempts to prevent the crippling of Barbara Gordon and has long realized that Booster is not the fool he appears to be, offering his friendship.
Rip reveals that he is able to save Booster's sister Michelle from moments before she died, claiming there is a loophole due to Michelle being from the future.
At first unavailable due to reliving Ted's funeral in the past, he returns to meet his ancestor Daniel Carter, only to find the crashed, derelict Bug at his house.
He uses a special light gun designed by Ted to blast the corpse and separate the ring with light, simulating the emotional spectrum.
Upon separating the corpse from the ring, he collects Ted's remains before the ring can reanimate them and takes them into the Time Sphere to Vanishing Point Fortress to secure them.
He is somewhat relieved when Skeets uses the Fortress's special chronal surveillance equipment to display images of the days of Team Blue and Gold.
They find evidence at the warehouse of someone else entering, even though the doors were genetically coded, with only two people cleared for access: Ted and Booster.
This arc introduces an older Booster Gold, the man that trained Rip Hunter and was the master of both Time, the Multiverse, and Hypertime.
Rip reveals that this Booster is not only his father, but also has been watching Rip training the young Booster Gold, aiding him when needed.
Older Booster also reveals that he is still married to Rip's mother, and that Michelle is with them in some unknown time.
Fire, Ice, and Captain Atom find him just as Lord uses his psychic powers to the utmost to erase all memory of himself from the minds of the entire world.
For some reason, Booster, Fire, Ice, and Atom are the only ones who remember Lord and see him in recorded images.
Trying to convince Batman (Dick Grayson), Booster is horrified to learn that, thanks to Max, the world believes Ted Kord committed suicide.
Fire, Ice, and Captain Atom are soon set up by Max to cut them off from allies, but, ironically, Booster is left alone because his reputation is already poor.
The remnants of the JLI are, seemingly by chance, joined by the successors of Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) and Rocket Red.
Rocket Red declares the newly formed team as the new Justice League International, prompting Booster to figure out that Max Lord manipulated them to be together.
When his team member, Jaime, is kidnapped and tortured by Max, Jaime signals the rest of the JLI to lead them to Max's headquarters.
The JLI arrives too late, and Jaime is shot in the head by Max, killing him in the same manner as his predecessor, Ted Kord.
Booster Gold is enraged and his team tries to take down Max, but Max escapes from the JLI using one of his headquarters' escape pods.
As the team deals with the loss of Jaime, Booster Gold blames himself for leading the team into so much danger, and wants to abdicate as leader.
Gold is still upset, saying they cannot win against Max, when Blue Beetle suddenly sits up, his wound healed, declaring he knows Max's ultimate plans and that they can stop him.
While the JLI are battling against OMAC Prime, Booster locates Max's flying headquarters and attacks it to come face-to-face with Max.
When Earth entered an alternate timeline due to the actions of the Flash, Booster and Skeets awaken and are the only ones who remember the original timeline (later, Booster realizes that the chronal protection in his suit saved him from being erased).
Alexandra defeats Doomsday by using the control helmet to make Doomsday tear himself apart, subsequently asking Booster to take him with her when he restores history to normal.
However, despite his best efforts and support from Batman, who officially defers to Booster's leadership after supporting Booster for leader, the JLI falls apart due to a string of attacks against the group that leaves members killed or wounded.
director Amanda Waller orders Chronos to search for the contemporary Gold through time, but Chronos is captured by the Secret Society before carrying out his mission.
The older Booster is sent careening through the timeline, eventually meeting up with his sister, Goldstar, who is in a version of Metropolis which has been sealed in a bubble by a godlike version of Brainiac from an alternative universe.
Hunter tells older Gold that he hasn't traveled through the timeline, but through the cities in the planet which were now chronal anomalies that he was in conflict with, and that his body absorbed so much time travel radiation that he was aging rapidly and dying.
Superman, seeking more answers, decides to use the cosmic treadmill to travel back in time and learn more about the unseen forces affecting the universe.
As he finally gains enough speed to travel in time, Booster Gold and Skeets appear one second too late to stop him as Superman disappears into the time stream.
Booster is captured and imprisoned in a cell with his father who refers to Booster throwing the football game for him.
Skeets is destroyed, devastating Booster, but it's revealed that Skeets downloaded his memory into an Eradicator to help free Booster and Superman from Zod.
Skeets tells Superman the news that Lois Lane and Jon were killed by soldiers in the Middle East while attempting to free General Lane.
Back at the Watchtower, Flash is upset that they took his Cosmic Treadmill to save Krypton, which would negatively affect time.
Booster Gold tells Flash it was Superman's idea to go back, and that he went back to stop Superman, who admits that is wrong.
He runs from Batman, hiding in a back alley with Skeets, and finds it odd that Batman both does not know who he is and tried to kill him.
Since his origin, characters within the DC Universe have hinted that there is a greater purpose to Booster Gold than he knows.
It is revealed that Booster is destined to come to the past to protect him from an unknown event in the future.
Due to a predestination paradox, the future Booster is revealed to be a more experienced Time Master than his son Rip Hunter, but also that he personally tasked Rip to school his past self.
It is also implied that the departure of the Hypertime concept, rather than a simple retcon, is Booster's work, as in the future he tasked himself with the role of pruning divergent timelines from each universe in the Multiverse.
Circuitry from a force field belt (once belonging to Brainiac 5 of the legion of Super Heroes) allows Booster to resist physical and energy attacks, and he uses the force field to repel objects with great force and generate a breathable self-contained environment.
Booster can also absorb mass and eject it either in its original form or as a melted mass, although this depletes his force field for a time afterward.
Based on Booster's reputation as a profiteer posing as a hero, Platinum admits to Booster that he is pulling the same scam, but more successfully, and assumes Booster is after a cut.
His superhero gear is based on technology stolen from Rip Hunter, who has apparently had several encounters with him to get it back.
He and Ted Kord, the Blue Beetle, had been friendly rivals, even though Booster used to mock Ted's Blue Beetle suit due to his weight.
One year after Superman's regime has ended, Michael warns Ted about the latter's cruel fate in the future, something Michael cannot prevent and is not allowed to interfere the time paradox for rescuing Ted.
Before he sets on his way home back to the future with Skeets, Michael bids his friend a farewell and promises that they will see each other at the end.
During a training session with Jaime, Booster receives a message from Ted telling him he now owns Kord Industries and his suit.
He was hired due to a recommendation of Warlord creator Mike Grell who was deeply impressed by Jurgens' work after being shown his private portfolio at a convention.
He began scripting from Conway's plots with #8 (Feb. 1985) and fully took over the writing duties on the title with #10 (April 1985).
Jurgens had by this stage become disillusioned with the immense amount of group planning and constant changes of ideas and directions and took this as the last straw, resigning from the title.
Feuchtwanger's Judaism and fierce criticism of the Nazi Party, years before it assumed power, ensured that he would be a target of government-sponsored persecution after Adolf Hitler's appointment as chancellor of Germany in January 1933.
Following a brief period of internment in France and a harrowing escape from Continental Europe, he found asylum in the United States, where he died in 1958.
Feuchtwanger's Jewish ancestors originated from the Middle Franconian city of Feuchtwangen; following a pogrom in 1555, it had expelled all its resident Jews.
He was the oldest in a family of nine siblings of whom two, Martin and Ludwig Feuchtwanger, became authors; Ludwig's son is the London-based historian Edgar Feuchtwanger.
At the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, Feuchtwanger served in the German military service but was released early for health reasons.
In 1916, he published a play based on the story of Joseph Süß Oppenheimer which premiered in 1917, but Feuchtwanger withdrew it a couple years later as he was dissatisfied with it.
Towers of Hebrew books were burned, and bonfires were erected high up in the clouds, and people burnt, innumerable priests and voices sang: Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Traits of men, women, children dragged themselves across the square from all sides, they were naked or in rags, and they had nothing with them as corpses and the tatters of book rolls of torn, disgraced, soiled with feces Books roles.
The story of Joseph Süß Oppenheimer had been the subject of a number of literary and dramatic treatments over the course of the past century; the earliest Wilhelm Hauff's 1827 novella.
The most successful literary adaptation was Feuchtwanger's 1925 novel, based on a play he had written in 1916 but then withdrew.
Feuchtwanger intended his portrayal of Süß not as an antisemitic slur but as a study of the tragedy caused by the human weaknesses of greed, pride, and ambition.
However, the novel was so well-received that it went through five printings of 39,000 copies within a year as well as being translated into 17 languages by 1931.
The novel's success established Feuchtwanger as a major German author as well as giving him a royalty stream that afforded him a measure of financial independence for the rest of his life.
The NSDAP party in Germany then made their own anti-Semitic version under the very same title, to undercut the British film.
The new regime soon began persecuting him, and while he was on a speaking tour of America, in Washington, D.C., he was guest of honor at a dinner hosted by the then ambassador Friedrich Wilhelm von Prittwitz und Gaffron on the same day (January 30, 1933) that Hitler was appointed Chancellor.
In the summer of 1933, his name appeared on the first of Hitler's Germany , which were documents by which the Nazis arbitrarily deprived Germans of their citizenship and so rendered them stateless.
In his writings, Feuchtwanger exposed Nazi racist policies years before the British and French governments abandoned their policy of appeasement towards Hitler.
In response to the Western Powers pursuing a policy of appeasement of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy (the Anglo-German Naval Treaty; allowing the reoccupation of the Rhineland; non-intervention against the Falangist Coup in Spain; Italy’s attack on Abyssinia), he flirted with Soviet communism to find the staunchest enemy of Germany’s National Socialism.
Later, the prisoners of Les Milles were moved to a makeshift tent camp near Nîmes because of the advance of German troops.
After months of waiting in Marseille, he was able to flee with his wife Marta to the United States via Spain and Portugal.
He escaped with the help of Marta; Varian Fry, an American journalist who helped refugees escape from occupied France; Hiram Bingham IV, US Vice Consul in Marseille; Waitstill Sharp and Martha Sharp, a Unitarian minister and his wife who were in Europe on a similar mission as Fry.
If Feuchtwanger had been recognized at border crossings in France or Spain, he would have been detained and turned over to the Gestapo.
In 1943, Feuchtwanger bought Villa Aurora in Pacific Palisades, California, and he continued to write there until his death in 1958.
There as an ardent anti-fascist and communist sympathizer he was held in high honor, even if the Jewish portions of his work were less appreciated.
His wife Marta continued to live in their house on the coast and remained an important figure in the exile community, devoting the remainder of her life to the work of her husband.
Before her death in 1987, Marta Feuchtwanger donated her husband's papers, photos and personal library to the Feuchtwanger Memorial Library, housed within the Special Collections of the Doheny Memorial Library at the University of Southern California.
A Bennett buggy was a term used in Canada during the Great Depression to describe a car which had its engine, windows and sometimes frame work taken out and was pulled by a horse.
The Canadian term was named after Richard Bennett, the Prime Minister of Canada from 1930 to 1935, who was blamed for the nation's poverty.
During the boom years of the 1920s, many Canadians had bought cheap vehicles for the first time, but during the depression, many found they did not have enough money to operate them.
He was Master of the Rolls from 1996 until 2000 and Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales from 2000 until 2005.
The Constitutional Reform Act 2005 made him the first Lord Chief Justice to be President of the Courts of England and Wales.
His father had been a fine art dealer, but was persuaded to run his own building business instead by his wife.
Woolf lived in Newcastle-upon-Tyne until he was about five years old, when his family moved to Glasgow, Scotland where he attended Glasgow Academy going on to Fettes College, an Edinburgh public school, where he mostly enjoyed his time and had supportive friends.
A prefect reported this as the school had strict rules about being in other pupils' cubicles, but Woolf felt that he had not broken the rules because he did not have his feet inside the cubicle at the time.
He appealed for fairness, but his housemaster, who had been in the army, increased Woolf's punishment from six strokes of the cane to eight.
His housemaster told him that this was not a suitable career-choice for him because he had a stutter, but this only made Woolf more determined in his vocation.
His A level results gained him a place at the University of Cambridge; however, he studied law at University College London (UCL) instead as a consequence of his parents' move to London at about that time.
He became Junior Counsel to the Inland Revenue (Common Law) from 1973–74, and was First Junior Treasury Counsel (Common Law) from 1974–79.
He was promoted to Lord Justice of Appeal and was made a member of Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council (PC) in 1986.
Lord Justice Woolf was appointed to hold a five-month public inquiry with Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons, Judge Stephen Tumim, into the disturbances at Strangeways prison, Manchester and other prisons between 11 June on 31 October 1990.
He subsequently became patron of the Rehabilitation for Addicted Prisoners Trust and an Ambassador for the Prison Advice and Care Trust.
Woolf LJ was appointed a Law Lord on 1 October 1992, being created a life peer as Baron Woolf, of Barnes in the London Borough of Richmond.
In this most senior judicial post, Woolf spoke out at the University of Cambridge in 2004 against the Constitutional Reform Bill that would create a Supreme Court of the United Kingdom to replace the House of Lords as the final court of appeal in the United Kingdom; and he severely questioned the Lord Chancellor's and the Government's handling of recent constitutional reforms.
In 2003, he was appointed a Non-Permanent Judge of the Court of Final Appeal of Hong Kong, which position he held until 2012.
From September to December 2005 he conducted a review of the working methods of the European Court of Human Rights, and he is chairman of the Bank of England Financial Markets Law Committee.
He is Chairman of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, Chairman of the Council of University College, London and a visiting Professor of Law.
On 25 February 2007, Woolf was inaugurated as the first President of the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court, in Doha Qatar.
On 15 June 2007, he took the chair of an Ethics Committee set up by BAE Systems, the UK's largest arms company, in response to allegations of multimillion-pound bribery in arms deals with Saudi Arabia.
This Woolf Committee reported in May 2008, and clearly influenced the Law Commission report proposing anti-corruption and bribery law reforms on 20 November 2008 and the Government's consequent Bribery Bill published on 25 March 2009, which was ultimately enacted as the Bribery Act.
In 2007 he was named as co-chair, with Professor Kaufmann-Kohler, of the Commission on Settlement in International Arbitration, for the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution for which he also consults.
From 29–31 May 2009, Woolf served with Sir William Blair, a High Court Judge, as the Co-Convener of the inaugural Qatar Law Forum of Global Leaders in Law, held in Doha, Qatar.
Woolf, an Ashkenazi Jew, first met his wife Marguerite Sassoon, a Sephardi Jew, at a social event which was organised by a mutual friend at the National Liberal Club.
They married early in 1961 and have three sons who have all entered the legal profession, as well as seven grandchildren.
Woolf was elected an Honorary Fellow of the British Academy (FBA) in 2000 and an Honorary Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences (FMedSci) in 2002.
Henry Woolf, (born 20 January 1930 in Holborn, London) is a British actor, theatre director and teacher of acting, drama and theatre who lives in Canada.
Woolf served as a faculty member at the University of Saskatchewan from 1983 to 1997 and as artistic director of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan from 1991 until 2001.
Born to Jewish parents in London in 1930, Henry Woolf was educated at Hackney Downs School, where he met Harold Pinter; he and Pinter were friends and collaborators for over 60 years.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of London and then pursued a postgraduate course in directing at the University of Bristol, before going to the United States, to earn a postgraduate diploma from the College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, Virginia.
In 1978, with his wife, actress/director Susan Williamson, whom he married in 1965, Woolf moved to Canada where he took a teaching position at the University of Alberta Drama Department.
Woolf joined the faculty of the University of Saskatchewan in 1983, was promoted to professor in 1990, also serving as head of its Drama Department, and received the university's Master Teacher Award in 1994, before retiring in 1997, at the Canadian mandatory retirement age of 67.
Woolf also served as artistic director of the annual summer Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan festival, in Saskatoon, from 1991 until his retirement from that position in 2001.
Players take turns pushing tokens (one player taking black, the other white) from the edge of the tri-gridded, hexagonal board, with pieces already in play pushed in front of the new placements rather than allowing more than one piece on any space.
The game is lost if a player has no more tokens to play, and since each starts with a set number of tokens, it is clearly necessary to recycle pieces already positioned to keep playing.
This is achieved by contriving to line up four pieces of the same colour in a row on the board, at which point those tokens are returned to their owner, and any opposing tokens extending from the line of four are captured.
Rules of engagement (ROE) are the internal rules or directives among military forces (including individuals) that define the circumstances, conditions, degree, and manner in which the use of force, or actions which might be construed as provocative, may be applied.
They provide authorization for and/or limits on, among other things, the use of force and the employment of certain specific capabilities.
Rules of engagement do not normally dictate how a result is to be achieved, but will indicate what measures may be unacceptable.
While ROE is used in both domestic and international operations by some militaries, ROE is not used for domestic operations in the United States.
Instead, the use of force by the U.S. military in such situations is governed by Rules for the Use of Force (RUF).
The International Institute of Humanitarian Law in San Remo, Italy conducts rules of engagement training course at least once per year, usually in September.
Similar training by the San Remo ROE drafting team is conducted for the United Nations, staff colleges and other organizations as requested.
Hence, compendia in ROE Handbooks, such as the San Remo Handbook, only provide ROE options that can comply with international law.
Insofar as ROE generally regulate the amount or type of force that can be used in a given circumstance, ROE violations are typically related to the use of excessive or unauthorized force or actions.
Violations of the laws of armed conflict, on the other hand, consist of violations of the treaties and customary law that make up the laws of armed conflict.
If, in peacetime, an individual uses force in self defence, or in the defence of others, then attention must be turned to whether or not that force was reasonable and necessary in the circumstances.
CITV's studios are located on Allard Way Northwest in the Pleasantview neighbourhood of Edmonton, and its transmitter is located just off of Highway 21, southeast of the city.
The station carries the full Global network schedule, and its programming is similar to Global owned-and-operated sister station CICT-TV in Calgary.
This station can also be seen on Shaw Cable (corporate sister through parent company Shaw Communications) channel 8, Bell TV channel 240.
On Shaw Direct, the channel is available on 339 (Classic) or 021 (Advanced), and in high definition on channel 011 (Classic) or 511 (Advanced).
There is also a high definition feed available on Shaw Cable digital channel 211 and Telus Optik TV channel 104 (HD) and channel 9104 (SD).
In 1991, Allarcom was purchased by Western International Communications' WIC Television division, which in turn was purchased by Canwest Global Communications in 1999.
CITV joined the Global Television Network on September 4, 2000, along with fellow Alberta stations CICT in Calgary and CISA in Lethbridge, but CICT had been carrying Global's programming since 1988.
Beginning in 1981, CITV became a national superstation, being offered on most cable television systems across the country through the Cancom (now Shaw Broadcast Services) service for Canadian cable television providers too distant to receive most over-the-air television signals.
It is still carried on satellite television nationwide through Bell TV and Shaw Direct, as well as on several cable systems across Canada outside Alberta, including in all of Newfoundland and Labrador and some areas of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and the Yukon.
CITV presently broadcasts 43 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with seven hours on weekdays, and five hours each on Saturdays and Sundays); in regards to the number of hours devoted to news programming, it is the highest local newscast output out of any English-language television station in the Edmonton market.
Both CHED (which is owned by Corus Entertainment) and Shaw Media-owned CITV are owned by the Shaw family, but are operated as separate businesses.
On November 15, 2010, CITV became the first television station in Alberta to begin broadcasting its locally produced programming in high definition.
On August 27, 2012, CITV-DT expanded its weekday morning newscast to four hours, with the addition of a half-hour; in addition on September 2, 2012, the station expanded its Sunday morning newscast to three hours with an additional hour.
The expansions to CITV's morning news programming was part of a benefits package that was included as a condition of the sale of the Global Television Network to Shaw Communications.
On August 31, 2011, when Canadian television stations in CRTC-designated mandatory markets transitioned from analogue to digital broadcasts, the station's digital signal relocated from channel 47 to VHF channel 13.
Submarine warfare is one of the four divisions of underwater warfare, the others being anti-submarine warfare, mine warfare and mine countermeasures.
Submarine warfare consists primarily of diesel and nuclear submarines using torpedoes, missiles or nuclear weapons, as well as advanced sensing equipment, to attack other submarines, ships, or land targets.
The first sinking of an enemy ship by a submarine occurred on 17 February 1864, when the Confederate submarine , a privateer sank the sloop in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina.
Submarine warfare in World War I was primarily a fight between German and Austro-Hungarian U-boats and supply convoys bound for the United Kingdom, France, and Russia.
Admiral Henning von Holtzendorff (1853–1919), chief of the admiralty staff, argued successfully in January 1917 to resume the attacks and thus starve the British.
The German high command realized the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare meant war with the United States but calculated that American mobilization would be too slow to stop a German victory on the Western Front.
All participants were supposed to abide by the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907, but this was found to be impracticable for submarines.
Initially, German submarines did attempt to comply with the prize rules, but later switched to unrestricted submarine warfare following the British introduction of Q-ships with concealed deck guns.
American diplomatic pressure forced the Germans to stop this for a while, but in January 1917 Germany declared a war zone around the British Isles and sank up to a quarter of shipping entering it, until escorted convoys were introduced.
This was not legitimized until the Anglo-German Naval Agreement of 1935, under which the UK accepted German parity in submarine numbers with the Royal Navy.
In the Atlantic, where German submarines again sought out and attacked Allied convoys, this part of the war was very reminiscent of the latter part of World War I.
Many British submarines were active as well, particularly in the Mediterranean and off Norway, against Axis warships, submarines and merchant shipping.
By war's end, US submarines had destroyed over half of all Japanese merchant ships, totaling well over five million tons of shipping.
However, following a doctrine that concentrated on attacking warships, rather than more-vulnerable merchantmen, the smaller Japanese fleet proved ineffectual in the long term, while suffering heavy losses to Allied anti-submarine measures.
Italian submarines and one German submarine operated in the Pacific Ocean, but never enough to be an important factor, inhibited by distance and difficult relations with their Japanese ally.
Since the Second World War, several wars, such as the Korean War, Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 and the Falklands War, have involved limited use of submarines.
During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union played what was described as a 'cat-and-mouse' game of detecting and even trailing enemy submarines.
As the likelihood of unrestricted submarine warfare has diminished, thinking about conventional submarines has focused on their use against surface warship.
The development of new air independent propulsion methods has meant that the diesel-electric submarine's need to surface, making it vulnerable, has been reduced.
Nuclear submarines, although far larger, could generate their own air and water for an extended duration, meaning their need to surface was limited in any case.
The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force has launched new models of submarines every few years; South Korea has upgraded the already capable Type 209() design from Germany and sold copies to Indonesia.
Russia has improved the old Soviet Kilo model into what strategic analysts are calling equivalent to the 1980s-era , and so on.
However, thinking about importance of the submarine has shifted to an even more strategic role, with the advent of the nuclear ballistic missile submarine carrying Submarine-launched ballistic missiles with nuclear weapons to provide second strike capability.
The television series airs on the American television network Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and follows remodeling projects of houses over a number of weeks.
Boston PBS station WGBH-TV originally created the program and produced it from its inception in 1979 until 2001 when Time Inc. acquired the television assets and formed This Old House Ventures.
WGBH also distributed episodes to PBS until 2019 when WETA-TV became the distributor starting with the first episode of season 41.
In 2016, Time Inc. sold This Old House Ventures to executive Eric Thorkilsen and private equity firm TZP Growth Partners (although it will continue to have a special partnership deal with its former parent company).
Other underwriters throughout the show's tenure included Parks Corporation, Glidden paints, Montgomery Ward, Ace Hardware, Kohler plumbing, Schlage locks, Century 21 Real Estate, Toro lawnmowers/snowblowers, ERA Real Estate, Angie's List, Mitsubishi Electric, and Lumber Liquidators, Inc. Two of the original underwriters were Weyerhauser and Owens-Corning.
As such, it was initially controversial among building contractors, and the cast was afraid that they were giving away secrets of the building trades.
Although WGBH acquired the first two project houses (6 Percival Street in Dorchester and the Bigelow House in Newton) for renovation, the series then focused on renovating older houses, including those of modest size and value, with the homeowners doing some of the work, as a form of sweat equity.
The series covering the renovation of the Westwood house (Weatherbee Farm) became something of a cult classic because of an escalating dispute between the hosts, Vila and Abram, and the homeowners over the direction the project was taking.
As the show evolved, it began to focus on higher-end, luxury homes with more of the work done by expert contractors and tradespeople.
According to news reporter Barbara Beck, Vila was fired by WGBH Boston over making TV commercials for Rickel Home Centers, Home Depot's competitor.
Cast members later complained that Vila took up too much screen time, and noted that the show became more of an ensemble production after he left.
In at least a couple of season opening episodes (Cambridge, Carlisle, and Austin), Abram has appeared with O'Connor to introduce the new project.
To celebrate the 40th season in 2019, a retrospective and revisit of some of the more notable projects was incorporated into a handful of episodes with some of the original homeowners providing tours.
Most of the questions are answered in the loft, but one or two homeowners in each episode receive a visit from one of the show's tradesmen.
In both versions, after the van pulls into the barn driveway, the footage cuts to Trethewey handing out the coffees to the other three regulars.
Published 8 times per year, the magazine has a circulation of over 950,000 and reaches nearly 6 million consumers each month.
As of April 1, 2016, Susan Wyland, best known for her tenure on Time Inc.’s Real Simple magazine, became the magazine's editor in chief, replacing Scott Omelianuk, who had been editor for 12 years.
The website also serves as the online destination for the television show and includes bios on the cast and information on all of the home projects, and live webcams of the current house projects.
Tim Allen played Tim Taylor, a character inspired by Bob Vila, while Richard Karn portrayed Al Borland, a character based on Norm Abram.
On one occasion, he put a gown in a washing machine and it came out as the shirt he was wearing currently.
Group marriage is a non-monogamous marriage-like arrangement where three or more adults live together, all considering themselves partners, sharing finances, children, and household responsibilities.
Depending on the sexual orientations of the individuals involved, all adults in the group marriage may be sexual partners of all others with whom they are compatible.
The group may be open to taking on new partners, but only if all members of the family agree to accept the new person as a partner.
The most common form of group marriage appears to be a triad of two women and one man, or less often two men and one woman.
In most countries, it is not explicitly illegal for three or more people to form and share a sexual relationship (subject sometimes to laws against homosexuality), though such relational forms risk running afoul of state or local ordinances banning unmarried cohabitation.
Nor do they give strong and equal legal protection (e.g., of rights relating to children) to non-married partners — the legal regime is not comparable to that applied to married couples.
Individuals involved in polyamorous relationships are considered by the law to be no different from people who live together or date under other circumstances.
Noyes taught that he and his followers, having reached 200 in number, had thus undergone sanctification; that is, it was impossible for them to sin, and that for the sanctified, marriage (along with private property) was abolished as an expression of jealousy and exclusiveness.
Any given male-female combination in the group was free to have sex, usually upon the man's asking the woman, and this was the common practice for many years.
In several of her Hainish Cycle stories, Ursula Le Guin describes a type of four-person marriage known as a sedoretu, practiced on the planet O.
In this arrangement, two men and two women are married to each other, but each member of the marriage has a sexual relationship only with one male and one female spouse.
In James Alan Gardner's book Vigilant (novel) the protagonist is part of a group marriage with multiple men and women involved.
Cape Hatteras Light is a lighthouse located on Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks in the town of Buxton, North Carolina and is part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
The Outer Banks are a group of barrier islands on the North Carolina coast that separate the Atlantic Ocean from the coastal sounds and inlets.
Atlantic currents in this area made for excellent travel for ships, except in the area of Diamond Shoals, just offshore at Cape Hatteras.
Nearby, the warm Gulf Stream ocean current collides with the colder Labrador Current, creating ideal conditions for powerful ocean storms and sea swells.
Since its base is almost at sea level, it is only the 15th highest light in the United States, the first 14 being built on higher ground.
Adjacent to the Cape Hatteras Light is the Hatteras Island Visitor Center and Museum of the Sea, operated by the National Park Service, which is located in the historic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Double Keepers' Quarters.
In 1848 the 18 lamps were changed to 15 lamps with reflectors and the light had become visible in clear weather at a distance of .
In 1854 a first-order Fresnel lens with flashing white light was substituted for the old reflecting apparatus, and the tower was raised to .
At the behest of mariners and officers of the U.S. Navy, Congress appropriated $80,000 to the United States Lighthouse Board to construct a new beacon at Cape Hatteras in 1868.
The Light-House Board was a federal agency under the direction of the Treasury Department but was headed by a multi-agency committee.
The Board consisted of two Army Engineers, two Navy officers, two civilian scientists, and one additional officer from both the Army and Navy to serve as secretaries.
Congress established the Board in 1852 for the purpose of creating a unified, continuous system of navigational aides along the coasts.
Under the Light-House Board, Navy officers determined where new lighthouses were needed; Army Engineers selected exact locations, designed, and built them; and civilian scientists developed new technologies and techniques for displaying bright, consistent beacons.
Completed in just under two years under the direction of brevet Brigadier General J. H. Simpson of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the new Cape Hatteras lighthouse cost $167,000.
The new tower, from which the first-order light was first exhibited on December 16, 1871, was the tallest brick lighthouse tower in the world.
The old tower was demolished in February 1871, leaving ruins that lasted until finally eroded away in a storm in 1980.
Cracks subsequently appeared in the masonry walls, which was remedied by placing a metal rod to connect the iron work of the tower with an iron disk sunk in the ground.
Ever since the completion of the new tower in 1870, there had begun a very gradual encroachment of the sea upon the beach.
This did not become serious, however, until 1919, when the high water line had advanced to about 120 ft (36.5) from the base of the tower.
Since that time the surf gnawed steadily toward the base of the tower until 1935, when the site was finally reached by the surf.
In 1935, therefore, the tower light was replaced by an Aerobeacon atop a four-legged steel skeleton tower, placed farther back from the sea on a sand dune above the sea, visible for .
The Civilian Conservation Corps and Works Progress Administration erected a series of wooden revetments which checked the wash that was carrying away the beach.
In 1942, when German U-Boats began attacking ships just offshore, the Coast Guard resumed its control over the brick tower and manned it as a lookout station until 1945.
By then, due to accretion of sand on the beach, the brick tower was 500 to inland from the sea and again tenable as a site for the light, which was placed back in commission January 23, 1950.
The steel skeleton tower, known as the Buxton Woods Tower, was retained by the Coast Guard in the event that the brick tower again became endangered by erosion requiring that the light again be moved.
Another lighthouse, with helical markings—red and white 'candy cane stripe'-- is the White Shoal Light (Michigan), which is the only true 'barber pole' lighthouse in the United States.
Today the Coast Guard owns and operates the navigational equipment, while the National Park Service maintains the tower as a historic structure.
The Hatteras Island Visitor Center, formerly the Double Keepers Quarters located next to the lighthouse, elaborates on the Cape Hatteras story and the lifestyle on the Outer Banks.
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, tallest in the United States, stands from the bottom of the foundation to the peak of the roof.
In 1999, with the sea again encroaching, the Cape Hatteras lighthouse had to be moved from its original location at the edge of the ocean to safer ground.
International Chimney Corp. of Buffalo, New York was awarded the contract to move the lighthouse, assisted by, among other contractors, Expert House Movers.
The move was controversial at the time with speculation that the structure would not survive the move, resulting in lawsuits that were later dismissed.
General contractor International Chimney and Expert House Movers won the 40th Annual Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award from the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1999.
The four sights are four events described in the legendary account of Gautama Buddha's life which led to his realization of the impermanence and ultimate dissatisfaction of conditioned existence.
According to this legend, before these encounters Gautama Siddhartha had been confined to his palace by his father, who feared that he would become an ascetic if he came into contact with sufferings of life according to a prediction.
However, his first venture out of the palace affected him deeply and made him realize the sufferings of all humans, and compelled him to begin his spiritual journey as a wandering ascetic, which eventually led to his enlightenment.
While seven of them declared that the prince would either be a Buddha or a great King, the Brahmin Kaundinya was confident that he would renounce the world and become a Buddha.
Śuddhodana, who was determined that his son should be a great king, confined the prince within the palace and surrounded him with earthly pleasures and luxury, thereby concealing the realities of life that might encourage him to renounce these pleasures and become an ascetic.
After leading a sheltered existence surrounded by luxury and pleasure in his younger years, Prince Siddhārtha ventured out of his palace for the first time at the age of 29.
Once again, the prince was surprised at the sight, and Channa explained that all beings are subject to disease and pain.
After seeing these three sights, Siddhārtha was troubled in his mind and sorrowful about the sufferings that have to be endured in life.
After seeing these three negative sights, Siddhārtha came upon the fourth sight, an ascetic who had devoted himself to finding the cause of human suffering.
This sight gave him hope that he too might be released from the sufferings arising from being repeatedly reborn, and he resolved to follow the ascetic's example.
The sight of this drastic change strengthened his resolve to leave in search of an end to the suffering of beings.
After this incident and realizing the true nature of life after observing the four sights, Siddhārtha left the palace on his horse Kanthaka, accompanied only by Channa.
He sent Channa back with his possessions and began an ascetic life, at the end of which he attained enlightenment as Gautama Buddha.
He tried to discipline his body by fasting, but he realized that by doing this, he would die before he reached enlightenment.
In the early Pali suttas, the four sights as concrete encounters were not mentioned with respect to the historical Buddha Siddhārtha Gautama.
The renunciant is a depiction of the Sramana movement, which was popular at the time of Siddhārtha and which he consequently joined.
In the early Pali sources, the legendary account of the four sights is only described with respect to a previous legendary Buddha Vipassī (Mahāpadāna Sutta, DN 14).
Some versions of the story also say that the prince's father had the route beautified and guarded to ensure that he does not see anything that might turn his thoughts towards suffering.
His father, after losing two other children (Alexander's sister Nina died at childhood from sarcoma and his brother Vasiliy, a veterinary student, drowned during a boat trip), wanted him to continue the family tradition and enrolled Alexander into Smolensk seminary.
While he studied law his father died and he had to support his mother and other family by giving lessons and writing for theater.
In that period his finances markedly improved, and he traveled around the world extensively as a vacation after each successful case.
During his convalescence, he read the work of Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, and Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, and began to write poetry in his hospital bed.
He served a brief stint as a police inspector, tried other odd jobs such as a librarian, but life remained difficult, and in 1923 he moved to Moscow where he started to practice law again, as a consultant for various Soviet organizations.
From 1931 he lived in Leningrad with his wife and oldest daughter; his youngest daughter died of meningitis in 1930, aged six.
At the beginning of the German invasion of the Soviet Union during the Second World War he refused to evacuate because he was recovering after an operation that he had undergone a few months earlier.
A memorial stone at the Kazanskoe cemetery in the town of Pushkin is placed on the mass grave where his body is assumed to be buried.
Due to this, after the war, Soviets treated them as collaborators: they were exiled to Barnaul (Western Siberia) and lived there for 11 years.
According to the Soviet copyright law in effect until 1964, Belyaev's works entered the public domain 15 years after his death.
With the adoption of Part IV of the Civil Code of Russia in 2004, copyright protection was extended to 70 years after the author's death, and by an additional 4 years for authors who worked or fought during the Great Patriotic War.
In 2008, Terra publishing company acquired exclusive rights to print Belyaev's works from his heirs, and proceeded to sue Astrel and AST-Moskva publishing companies (both part of AST) for violating those exclusive rights.
On further appeal, a federal arbitration court found that Belyaev's works entered the public domain on 1 January 1993, and could not enjoy copyright protection at all.
Finally, in 2011 the Supreme Court of Arbitration of Russia found that Belyaev's works are protected by copyright until 1 January 2017 due to his activity during the Great Patriotic War, and remanded the case to lower courts for retrial.
It is widespread in the Mediterranean and northeastern Atlantic, from North Africa to Norway and Iceland, and is a gastronomic delicacy.
Scampi is now the only extant species in the genus Nephrops, after several other species were moved to the closely related genus Metanephrops.
Monkfish tail was formerly sometimes used and sold as scampi in the United Kingdom, contravening the Fish Labelling (Amendment) England Regulation 2005 and Schedule 1 of the Food Labelling Regulations 1996.
It is widely available in supermarkets and restaurants and considered pub or snack food , although factors reducing Scottish fishing catches generally (such as bad weather) can affect its availability.
As military commander in the biblical Book of Judges, Barak, with Deborah, from the Tribe of Ephraim, the prophet and fourth Judge of pre-monarchic Israel, defeated the Canaanite armies led by Sisera.
Chapter 4 makes the chief enemy Jabin, king of Hazor (present Tell el-Qedah, about three miles southwest of Hula Basin), though a prominent part is played by his commander-in-chief, Sisera of Harosheth-ha-goiim (possibly Tell el-'Amr, approximately northwest of Megiddo).
Deborah summoned Barak, the son of Abinoam, from his home at Kedesh in Naphtali, and ordered him, in the name of YHWH, to take ten thousand men to Mount Tabor.
Here he was attacked, as Deborah had expected, by Sisera, whose forces were put to flight, and the greater part of them were slain by Barak's army.
Most authorities believe this passage refers to Jael's killing of Sisera in her tent following the battle, while others believe this refers to Deborah herself.
In the battle at Mount Tabor, a cloudburst occurred, causing the river to flood, thus limiting the maneuverability of the Canaanite chariots.
Jael gave a drink of milk to Sisera, who fell asleep from weariness, then killed him by pounding a tent peg through his head.
Barak is also made reference to in chapter 28 of 1 Meqabyan, a book considered canonical in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
His half-Brachen demon physiology grants him the ability to shift from normal human to demonic appearance, in which he has heightened sense of smell and superior strength, speed, stamina, and dexterity, the last of which allows him to twist his head around in such a manner as to fake a broken neck.
Doyle never knew his father or anyone on that side of his family, and his own demonic genes didn't physically manifest themselves until he was 21 years old.
Doyle hid behind the flimsy veneer of a ne'er-do-well hustler and con artist, seemingly more interested in where his next drink was coming from than helping others.
Later, he was approached by a fellow Brachen demon, Lucas, who told Doyle that the Scourge, a militant group of pure blood demons, was after all half-breeds and begged for Doyle's help.
Doyle soon falls in love with Cordelia, but is afraid she will reject him upon finding out about his demonic heritage, especially when she makes it clear on multiple occasions that she considers many demons evil.
He also forms a close, brotherly bond with Angel as the result of their shared Irish heritage and similar demonic backgrounds, although his combat skills were limited due to his dislike of his demon half, which meant that he rarely transformed despite the greater strength he possessed in that form.
Despite Doyle's reluctance to discuss his past, Angel and Cordelia learn about him when Harriet returns to his life, wanting a divorce so she can marry an Ano-Movic demon named Richard Howard Straley, though she ultimately calls off the engagement after learning that obtaining the blessing of the Straley clan would require Richard to kill Doyle by eating his brain.
Before Doyle dies, he shares a passionate kiss with Cordelia (who had only recently learned of – and accepted – Doyle's demonic heritage).
Having learned of his son's death, Doyle's father- a full Brachen demon called Axtius, possessing sufficient strength to even go head-to-head with Angel in a fight- sends several demons to attack Harry, sending her to the hospital, and subsequently attempts to kill Angel, blaming him for his son's 'foolish attempt to save a pack of pitiful half-breeds'.
In their final confrontation, Angel defeats Axtius when unarmed despite Axtius wielding a powerful mystical weapon, taunting the Brachen by saying that he would have been ashamed of Doyle's very human act of sacrifice and redemption, Axtius subsequently being incinerated by his former second-in-command for his failure.
The Norland was a P&O roll-on/roll-off ferry operating between Kingston upon Hull in Yorkshire, UK, and Rotterdam Europoort, Netherlands, and then Zeebrugge, Belgium.
She was seen in the BBC TV Only Fools and Horses episode To Hull and Back, when the Trotter family used her as a means of navigation.
A Progressive Conservative, he was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in 1985, and held the office of Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) for Burlington until his resignation on September 28, 2006 to run for mayor of Burlington in the 2006 election.
Before entering politics, he was the Chief Executive Officer of the Metropolitan Hamilton Real Estate Board, and also worked for the Halton Housing Authority from 1975 to 1980.
Jackson was elected for the riding of Burlington South in the provincial election of 1985, defeating Liberal candidate Doug Redfearn by about 4,500 votes.
He was a backbench supporter of the government of Frank Miller, which was defeated in the legislature shortly after the election.
The Progressive Conservatives returned to power in the 1995 provincial election, and Jackson was re-elected in Burlington South with over 70% of the popular vote.
He was made a Minister without Portfolio in the government of Mike Harris on June 26, 1995, with responsibility for the Workers Compensation Board.
He was named Minister of Citizenship with responsibility for Seniors on February 8, 2001, but returned to the Tourism portfolio (now retitled Tourism and Recreation) when Ernie Eves succeeded Mike Harris as Premier on April 15, 2002.
He was forced to resign on October 2, 2002 due to a controversy over his practice of billing the government for steak dinners and hotel stays.
Jackson was fully exonerated of all allegations before the next election, and did retain his riding in the 2003 election (albeit with a greatly reduced majority) while dozens of other Tory MPPs lost their seats.
There had been speculation that Jackson would run to succeed Eves in the 2004 Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership election but in July, Jackson endorsed John Tory's candidacy for the position of party leader.
A backlink for a given web resource is a link from some other website (the referrer) to that web resource (the referent).
The quantity, quality, and relevance of backlinks for a web page are among the factors that search engines like Google evaluate in order to estimate how important the page is.
PageRank calculates the score for each web page based on how all the web pages are connected among themselves, and is one of the variables that Google Search uses to determine how high a web page should go in search results.
A Topical PageRank has been researched and implemented as well, which gives more weight to backlinks coming from the page of a same topic as a target page.
Backlinks are offered in Wikis, but usually only within the bounds of the Wiki itself and enabled by the database backend.
Search engines often use the number of backlinks that a website has as one of the most important factors for determining that website's search engine ranking, popularity and importance.
Knowledge of this form of search engine rankings has fueled a portion of the SEO industry commonly termed linkspam, where a company attempts to place as many inbound links as possible to their site regardless of the context of the originating site.
The significance of search engine rankings is pretty high, and it is regarded as a crucial parameter in online business and the conversion rate of visitors to any website, particularly when it comes to online shopping.
Blog commenting, guest blogging, article submission, press release distribution, social media engagements, and forum posting can be used to increase backlinks.
Some methods are free for use by everyone whereas some methods, like linkbaiting, require quite a bit of planning and marketing to work.
If both sites and pages have content geared toward the topic, the backlink is considered relevant and believed to have strong influence on the search engine rankings of the web page granted the backlink.
Anchor text and webpage content congruency are highly weighted in search engine results page (SERP) rankings of a webpage with respect to any given keyword query by a search engine user.
While some backlinks might be from sources containing highly valuable metrics, they could also be unrelated to the consumer's query or interest.
An example of this would be a link from a popular shoe blog (with valuable metrics) to a site selling vintage pencil sharpeners.
This term, originally coined by fans of the TV series, has since been used in the titles of published works, and adopted by Joss Whedon, the creator of the fictional universe.
The Buffyverse is a place in which supernatural phenomena exist, and supernatural evil can be challenged by people willing to fight against such forces.
The Buffyverse is distinguished from the real world in that it contains supernatural elements, though only a small proportion of the human population is aware of this.
In regards to the presentation of morality, many aspects of the Buffyverse are introduced as good or evil and are usually treated as such, though certain instances are often forced into more ambiguous grey areas.
According to legend in the Buffyverse, the last Old One to leave this dimension fed off a human and their blood mixed.
In the Buffyverse, werewolf characters are shown to have an animal side which either complements or clashes with their human side.
They transform not only on the full moon of each month, but the day before and the day after as well.
Some werewolves have shown the ability to gain control/achieve harmony between their human and bestial sides (Oz and his teacher in the comics).
Some classes of creature, such as Vampires and Old Ones, are known to be demons but not always referred to as such.
The line of Slayers is maintained until Buffy's two deaths and revivals cause a disturbance in the Slayer line that ultimately leads to the awakening of the First Evil.
The Slayer is given great strength, lightning reflexes, fast healing powers and is highly skilled with many weapons and martial arts.
The Watchers' Council historically offers guidance to the Slayer, assisting them by supervising their training and by researching existing and possible demonic or supernatural threats.
And, although some of their methods and goals proved questionable, a government-funded group known as The Initiative was also aware of the existence of demons and was fighting a secret war against them.
Other large scale groups appear in both Buffy and Angel, often as antagonists to the heroes due to differing views on how to fight the good fight.
A witch can inherit their lineage from their parents or develop their craft over many years, and neither a witch nor warlock must necessarily be human, such as Cyvus Vail.
While not prominent in the Buffyverse, there are individuals who gain special powers through means other than the ones mentioned above.
Connor (Angel) is also a human with supernatural powers, similar to those of vampires, because he was born as a product of two vampire parents.
Technology in the Buffyverse is more advanced than in the real world at the time it was produced, although the applications of it do not seem to be common knowledge.
Siaka Probyn Stevens (24 August 1905 – 29 May 1988) was the leader of Sierra Leone from 1967 to 1985, serving as Prime Minister from 1967 to 1971 and as President from 1971 to 1985.
Stevens and his All People's Congress (APC) party won the closely contested 1967 Sierra Leone general elections over incumbent Prime Minister Sir Albert Margai of the Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP).
In April 1971, Stevens made Sierra Leone a republic and became president a day after the constitution had been ratified by the Parliament of Sierra Leone.
He was the second President of the Republic after Christopher Okoro Cole, a judge, who was sworn in for a day after which he resigned, paving the way for Stevens.
Stevens served as Chairman of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) from 1 July 1980 to 24 June 1981 and engineered the creation of the Mano River Union, a three-country economic federation of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea.
After pressuring all other potential successors to step aside, he chose Major-General Joseph Saidu Momoh, the commander of the Sierra Leone Armed Forces, as his successor.
Siaka Probyn Stevens was born on 24 August 1905 in Moyamba, Moyamba District in the Southern Province of British Sierra Leone to a Limba father and a Mende mother.
Stevens completed his primary education in Freetown and completed secondary school at Albert Academy in Freetown, before joining the Sierra Leone Police Force.
From 1931 to 1946, he worked on the construction of the Sierra Leone Development Company (DELCO) railway, linking the Port of Pepel with the iron ore mines at Marampa.
In 1943, he helped co-found the United Mine Workers Union and was appointed to the Protectorate Assembly in 1946 to represent worker interests.
In 1957, he was elected to the House of Representatives as a member for Port Loko constituency, but lost his seat as a result of an election petition.
APC was founded in 1963/64 when he visited East Germany, with Sheku Magona and Kade Kamara, with Kade Kamara going to China to getting the seed money for the start of the party.
After disagreements with the SLPP leadership, Stevens broke ties with the party and co-founded the People's National Party (PNP), of which he was the first secretary-general and deputy leader.
When the talks concluded, however, he was the only delegate who refused to sign the agreement on the grounds that there had been a secret defence pact between Sierra Leone and the United Kingdom.
Another point of contention was the Sierra Leonean government's position that there would be no elections held before independence, which would effectively shut him out of the political process.
After successfully exploiting the disenchantment of northern and eastern ethnic groups with the SLPP, along with the creation of an alliance with the Sierra Leone Progressive Independence Movement (SLPIM), He was one of the 8TH member's of the APC after it was formed on 20 March 1960.
The All People's Congress is one of the two major political parties in Sierra Leone, the other is the Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP).
The party was founded in 1960 by a breakaway group from the Sierra Leone People's Party who vehemently opposed the idea of an election before independence, but instead supported the idea of independence before elections.
The All People's Congress (APC) was formed at 5 Elba Street, Freetown, and they consisted of the late Alhaji Chief Mucktarru Kallay, First chairman and Leader and who gave the name and the symbol.
Kamara-Taylor, First Secretary General, Alhaji Sheik Gibril Sesay, Treasurer, Kawusu Konte, Organiser, S A T Koroma, Public Relations, Kotor AbuBakarr Sam Bangura, The Artist, drawings of the Symbol, first seventh and later add six to thirteen.
Albert Margai who would later return to the SLPP and become Prime Minister, and Siaka P. Stevens who would also later become Prime Minister and subsequently President of Sierra Leone.
The APC governed the country from 1968 to 1992, and became the ruling party again in 2007, after the party presidential candidate Ernest Bai Koroma won the 2007 Sierra Leone presidential election.
In elections held on 17 March 1967, the APC won by an extremely narrow margin, and Stevens was appointed Prime Minister, but he was arrested in only an astonishing several minutes after taking office during a military coup.
Due to the complex process of ending the monarchy, Chief Justice Christopher Okoro Cole became interim governor general in late March.
The polls were marred by violence and were boycotted by the SLPP, which gave the APC all 85 seats in the House of Representatives.
Throughout the remainder of the 1970s, Stevens continued to consolidate his power, which culminated in a 1978 referendum on a new constitution that would create a one-party state with the APC as the only legally permitted party.
On 12 June, 97.1% of voters were reported to have voted for the new one-party constitution, an implausibly high total that could have only been obtained by massive fraud.
Following the election, all opposition members of the House of Representatives were required to join Stevens's APC or lose their seats.
President Stevens served as Chairman of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) from 1 July 1980 to 24 June 1981, and engineered the creation of the Mano River Union, a three country economic federation of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea.
The Internal Security Unit, a gang of unemployed urban youths amply supplied with drugs, was deployed as Stevens' personal death squad.
He had actually shown a deep authoritarian streak long before making Sierra Leone an official one-party state; the late 1960s and early 1970s saw frequent states of emergency and numerous executions of political foes.
Among his close associates sent to the gallows were John Amadu Bangura, who had once plucked Stevens from political oblivion when the army obliterated civilian politics after the 1967 Huha elections; at that time, Stevens had been down and out, living in exile in Conakry, Guinea, with his main remaining option, a planned assault on the sovereignty of Sierra Leone and her citizens.
Although he had retired by the time of the Sierra Leone Civil War in 1991, the impact of his political, social, and economic policies directly contributed to that conflict.
After pressuring all other potential successors to step aside, Major-General Joseph Saidu Momoh was sworn in as the new President of the Republic.
Adams was a boxer and bouncer before entering the pornographic film industry in the early 1980s, shortly after his sister Amber Lynn began her adult film career.
He died at Northridge Hospital Medical Center, Los Angeles, with his daughter Christa, his sister Amber Lynn, and his close friend Harold Jenkins at his side.
On October 15, 1969, while paying a visit to the city, Somalia's then President Abdirashid Ali Shermarke was shot dead by one of his own bodyguards.
His assassination was quickly followed by a military coup d'état on October 21, 1969 (the day after his funeral), in which the Somali Army seized power without encountering armed opposition — essentially a bloodless takeover.
The former bases its claim due to the kinship ties between the Dhulbahante clan and the dominant clan in Puntland, the Majerteen.
In 2018, there were clashes between Puntland and Somaliland in the town of Tukaraq in which the Puntland vowed to recapture Las Anod.
The city is almost surrounded by hills and has considerable water resources, the latter of which makes it a prime destination for peoples from other parts of generally arid Somaliland as well as from neighboring countries such as Somalia, Djibouti and Ethiopia.
Currently there are 6 Primary Schools in the city of Las Anod; Golkhatumo, Gateway, Abyan, Ilays, Imamu Shafi and Sool primary schools.
There are also a number of academic institutions in Las Anod which provide diverse education services such as Sool Institute of Heath Sciences (SIHS), Al-Furqan Islamic Institute, Sahal Software College, Future Technology Center etc.
The area around the city is rich in livestock, while mobile phone and money transfer services provide almost 40% of tax revenues.
Among these sites are Goolad, Dhiif Hotel, Laba Qow, Geedka Jacaylka, Masjid Jama, Ataash Hotel, Royal, Hotel Hamdi, Durdurka, Darayda, Abdi Bille Football Stadium, Hills of Hilble, and Hills of Sayidka.
Tubulin in molecular biology can refer either to the tubulin protein superfamily of globular proteins, or one of the member proteins of that superfamily.
Both α and β tubulins have a mass of around 50 kDa and are thus in a similar range compared to actin (with a mass of ~42 kDa).
This GTPase protein domain is found in all eukaryotic tubulin chains, as well as the bacterial protein TubZ, the archaeal protein CetZ, and the FtsZ protein family widespread in Bacteria and Archaea.
In eukaryotes, microtubules are one of the major components of the cytoskeleton, and function in many processes, including structural support, intracellular transport, and DNA segregation.
To form microtubules, the dimers of α- and β-tubulin bind to GTP and assemble onto the (+) ends of microtubules while in the GTP-bound state.
The β-tubulin subunit is exposed on the plus end of the microtubule while the α-tubulin subunit is exposed on the minus end.
After the dimer is incorporated into the microtubule, the molecule of GTP bound to the β-tubulin subunit eventually hydrolyzes into GDP through inter-dimer contacts along the microtubule protofilament.
Whether the β-tubulin member of the tubulin dimer is bound to GTP or GDP influences the stability of the dimer in the microtubule.
Dimers bound to GTP tend to assemble into microtubules, while dimers bound to GDP tend to fall apart; thus, this GTP cycle is essential for the dynamic instability of the microtubule.
FtsZ is found in nearly all Bacteria and Archaea, where it functions in cell division, localizing to a ring in the middle of the dividing cell and recruiting other components of the divisome, the group of proteins that together constrict the cell envelope to pinch off the cell, yielding two daughter cells.
Class III β-tubulin is a microtubule element expressed exclusively in neurons, and is a popular identifier specific for neurons in nervous tissue.
It is expressed exclusively in megakaryocytes and platelets in humans and appears to play an important role in the formation of platelets.
When class VI β-tubulin were expressed in mammalian cells, they cause disruption of microtubule network, microtubule fragment formation, and can ultimately cause marginal-band like structures present in megakaryocytes and platelets.
Katanin is a protein complex that severs microtubules at β-tubulin subunits, and is necessary for rapid microtubule transport in neurons and in higher plants.
In these organelles, several γ-tubulin and other protein molecules are found in complexes known as γ-tubulin ring complexes (γ-TuRCs), which chemically mimic the (+) end of a microtubule and thus allow microtubules to bind.
γ-tubulin also has been isolated as a dimer and as a part of a γ-tubulin small complex (γTuSC), intermediate in size between the dimer and the γTuRC.
γ-tubulin is the best understood mechanism of microtubule nucleation, but certain studies have indicated that certain cells may be able to adapt to its absence, as indicated by mutation and RNAi studies that have inhibited its correct expression.
Delta (δ) and epsilon (ε) tubulin have been found to localize at centrioles and may play a role in centriole structure and function, though neither is as well-studied as the α- and β- forms.
Their evolutionary relationship to eukaryotic tubulins is unclear, although they may have descended from a eukaryotic lineage by lateral gene transfer.
Nowadays there are many scientific investigations of the acetylation done in some microtubules, specially the one by α-tubulin N-acetyltransferase (ATAT1) which is being demonstrated to play an important role in many biological and molecular functions and, therefore, it is also associated with many human diseases, specially neurological diseases.
The album was the first after the break-up of the original five-piece Steely Dan; most of the original members had left during a rift over touring and recording schedules.
Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, who had been increasingly using session musicians in the studio on prior albums, continued on with numerous prominent Los Angeles–area studio musicians.
Band leaders Becker and Fagen were unhappy with the album's sound quality because of an equipment malfunction with the then-new dbx noise reduction system.
The group has claimed that the damage was mostly repaired after consulting with the engineers at dbx, but Fagen and Becker still refused to listen to the completed album.
He nonetheless admitted to playing the record frequently and named it the third best album of the year for the 1975 Pazz & Jop critics poll, where it finished sixth best.
Mendelsohn found the lyrics interesting but inscrutable, the musicianship tasteful and well-performed but not stimulating, and Fagen's singing unique-sounding but seemingly passionless.
It is an important urban, industrial, commercial and transportation center of the country, recognized as the fourth-largest city by population and area in Venezuela after Caracas, Maracaibo and Valencia.
Barquisimeto was founded in 1552 by Juan de Villegas, as a headquarters and to have better control of the territory believed to be rich in gold.
The second one was in the valley of the Turbio River where the city stayed until Lope de Aguirre burned it down in 1561.
Its rebuilding was made , but in 1562 they asked for permission to move to another site due to strong winds blowing in the place.
During the country's independence, Barquisimeto joined the liberation movement and its deputy José Ángel Álamo signed the Independence Act on July 5, 1811.
He fixed the streets and avenues and buildings were built, like the Jacinto Lara Headquarters, the Government Palace and the Ayacucho Park.
The Divina Pastora (Divine Shepherdess) is a statue of the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus, with a lamb at her side.
Divina Pastora is celebrated in a procession on January 14 of each year, when a massive Marian procession occurs, considered to be one of the largest in the world, attracting thousands of pilgrims.
The statue is removed from its shrine and is carried on the main streets of Barquisimeto in a procession which starts at the Iglesia de la Divina Pastora in Santa Rosa until it reaches the Barquisimeto Cathedral.
This procession occurs due to the devotion the people of Barquisimeto have towards it as gratitude towards saving the city from a cholera outbreak that occurred in the city in the 19th century.
Barquisimeto is located on the terrace of the same name, on the banks of the Turbio River, above sea level and a population of 930,000 inhabitants.
Barquisimeto is a city with a historic vocation by academic knowledge, and boasts a considerable sample of universities and institutes of higher education in Venezuela, has a high and growing student population from all over the country.
When construction began, in 2006, the system was projected to serve an average of 170,000 people per day when completed, using 80 trolleybuses operating along of exclusive lanes, across the metropolitan area.
With 52 stations, the BRT system is to include a centralized system of communication and security, and structures for easy access for elderly and disabled people.
It is to be complemented with feeder routes, covering the areas of Greater Barquisimeto the BRT line will not serve, which will connect with the main line at terminal stations.
Although 80 articulated trolleybuses were purchased from Neoplan and delivered around 2008–09, the plans to operate the Transbarca system with those vehicles were dropped in 2013.
In addition to reasons of cost, an inadequate supply of electricity with which to power the system was cited in the announcement of the decision.
The character is portrayed by J. August Richards, and was named by Whedon after filmmaker James Gunn and actor Sean Gunn, both of whom had worked with Whedon.
Gunn was born in the Badlands, a section of inner-city Los Angeles where the police would not go, and looked after his sister, Alonna, from a very young age.
Although he had a few brushes with the law, he acted as a modern day Robin Hood to keep the streets in his neighborhood safe.
In his teens (although now Gunn is in his early 20s), Gunn rose through the ranks to become the leader of a group of street-fighters who protect their turf from vampires using guerrilla tactics.
Possessing the mind of a military strategist and the strength of a brawler, life in the city hardened Gunn to the extent that his life became less important than the cause, resulting in him trading his soul for a truck in a deal with a demon named Jenoff when he was only seventeen, because he believed he had no future (cf.
Later on, a gang of vampires, who are at war with Gunn's group, attack their hideout, kidnapping several group members in the process, including Gunn's sister Alonna.
It is this loss that forces Gunn to question his own motives and become more receptive to Angel's help, realizing he cannot do everything alone.
Angel recognizes Gunn's strength and often calls on him if he needs back up in battle or if he needs protection for the people he cares about when he cannot protect them himself.
Gunn feels responsible for his friend's death, believing that it would not have happened if he had still been around to help in the fight.
Yet even in his grief, he realizes that he could not commit the same crime twice and allow Cordelia to suffer the same fate, so he joins Angel, Wesley, and Lorne to rescue her.
He realizes that his ties with his old life are gone and that his loyalty now lies with the vampire with a soul.
The guilt of what he had done for her plagues Fred and instead of bringing them closer together, it begins the rift that leads to the end of their relationship.
When Wolfram & Hart want to cut a deal to have Angel take over the L.A. branch, Gunn is led into the mysterious White Room where he is exposed to the mysterious conduit to the Senior Partners, who impresses Gunn with his immense power.
Feeling undervalued by his friends, Gunn submits to a procedure at the hands of Wolfram & Hart's Medical Department that enhances his mind with a comprehensive understanding of the law (and Gilbert & Sullivan, to help improve his voice and diction), making him the only member of Angel's team who can work inside the system seamlessly (cf.
When his mental abilities begin to diminish, Gunn, fearful of losing his new talents and respect, makes a pact with Dr. Sparrow and gets a permanent upgrade in exchange for signing to release an ancient curio stuck in customs.
He reveals that he blames Angel for his condition, believing he had allowed him to be turned, and that he intends to save L.A. to prove that one doesn't need a soul to be a champion.
As part of his plans, he kidnaps the psychic fish Betta George and imprisons him, forcing George to tap into his psychic ability to freeze Slayers in their tracks and contact people outside of Hell/Los Angeles.
In a later issue, he is seen making mystical plans; the intent is to have Angel come to the conclusion he sent Gunn to die, then Angel himself will die moments later.
As part of his revenge against Angel, Gunn destroys the Wolfram & Hart building, Angel's headquarters in the war with the Demon Lords, which also forces Wesley back to the Senior Partners for a short time.
Gunn later bears witness to Angel's defeat of the Lords, hanging back to ensure that not all of the people are slaughtered should Angel fail.
When Angel sees that Gunn thinks he is doing the right thing, Angel cautions him that the beast is the one in control, not him.
Gunn proceeds to remove all of the magic that had kept Angel alive, and realizes that Angel was actually now a human.
Ignoring this revelation, Gunn continues to attack his former friends, his team of Slayers apparently staking Spike- although Spike is later seen alive thanks to Illyria's timeslips- before he is kicked out of a window by Connor while trying to kill Angel again.
Confronting Illyria, he tricks her into transforming into Fred so that he can shoot her, reverting her to her true form in the hope that he can convince her to use her powers to rewind time so that the Fall never occurs, only for Illyria to vow to unmake time itself.
Realizing that the Senior Partners cannot allow him to die, Angel provokes Gunn into killing him, thus forcing the Senior Partners to reverse time to the original battle in the alleyway, giving Angel the opportunity to save Gunn before he is sired, the group subsequently taking Gunn to the hospital, where he falls into a coma.
Gunn seems to be recovering from his wound well, but was stated not to be ready to rejoin the team yet.
It is explained how he was cured so quickly from the attacks at the end of the series and he and Illyria come to a mutual agreement and strike a friendship of sorts.
In the end Illyria and Gunn take off to find adventure, slay demons, and find a new direction in their lives.
Gunn eventually returns to Angel Investigations, though he nonetheless faces multiple difficulties upon his return, as Spike and Connor still regard him as a traitor due to his actions in Hell and are distrustful of him.
When Connor takes over the leadership of Angel Investigations after Angel is captured by Innovation Labs, a biotech company seeking to duplicate Angel's status as an immortal with a soul, Gunn, while still loyal to Angel's mission, left the team due to escalating disagreements and arguments with Connor.
Gunn departs with the intent of starting his own crew and fighting the good fight his way, though he nonetheless intends to return when Angel is found.
However, his attempts to start anew are briefly halted when he is attacked by Eddie Hope, an ice-manipulating devil who has been hunting down people for crimes they committed while Los Angeles was in Hell, while at a diner.
In the Angel & Faith series Gunn reconvenes with Angel, Faith and Willow after they come to LA from London in the Family Reunion arc.
Gunn has been sending reports to Angel on Connor's normal life as well as updating him on the status of his other friends from LA.
By devouring a prophetic demon, Gunn also acquired its power to receive visions, which he believes come from the Powers but in fact come from the Senior Partners.
In the final episodes, Gunn comes full circle, returning to his roots, taking back his street clothes, and reawakening his purpose as a soldier in the fight against evil.
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs; ) are a group of about 50 rare inherited metabolic disorders that result from defects in lysosomal function.
Lysosomes are sacs of enzymes within cells that digest large molecules and pass the fragments on to other parts of the cell for recycling.
If one of these enzymes is defective, because of a mutation, the large molecules accumulate within the cell, eventually killing it.
Lysosomal storage disorders are caused by lysosomal dysfunction usually as a consequence of deficiency of a single enzyme required for the metabolism of lipids, glycoproteins (sugar-containing proteins), or so-called mucopolysaccharides.
Most of these disorders are autosomal recessively inherited such as Niemann–Pick disease, type C, but a few are X-linked recessively inherited, such as Fabry disease and Hunter syndrome (MPS II).
The lysosome is commonly referred to as the cell's recycling center because it processes unwanted material into substances that the cell can use.
In other words, when the lysosome does not function normally, excess products destined for breakdown and recycling are stored in the cell.
Although each disorder results from different gene mutations that translate into a deficiency in enzyme activity, they all share a common biochemical characteristic – all lysosomal disorders originate from an abnormal accumulation of substances inside the lysosome.
LSDs affect mostly children and they often die at a young age, many within a few months or years of birth.
Also, glycogen storage disease type II (Pompe disease) is a defect in lysosomal metabolism as well, although it is otherwise classified into E74.0 in ICD-10.
Alternatively to the protein targets, LSDs may be classified by the type of protein that is deficient and is causing buildup.
The symptoms of LSD vary depending on the particular disorder and other variables such as the age of onset, and can be mild to severe.
The majority of patients are initially screened by enzyme assay, which is the most efficient method to arrive at a definitive diagnosis.
No cures for lysosomal storage diseases are known, and treatment is mostly symptomatic, although bone marrow transplantation and enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) have been tried with some success.
In addition, substrate reduction therapy, a method used to decrease the production of storage material, is currently being evaluated for some of these diseases.
Furthermore, chaperone therapy, a technique used to stabilize the defective enzymes produced by patients, is being examined for certain of these disorders.
Ambroxol has recently been shown to increase activity of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase, so it may be a useful therapeutic agent for both Gaucher disease and Parkinson's disease.
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, de Duve and colleagues, using cell fractionation techniques, cytological studies, and biochemical analyses, identified and characterized the lysosome as a cellular organelle responsible for intracellular digestion and recycling of macromolecules.
Pompe disease was the first disease to be identified as an LSD in 1963, with L. Hers reporting the cause as a deficiency of α-glucosidase.
Weapons such as the Degtyaryov anti-tank rifle (PTRD-41), the Degtyaryov machine gun, the Shpagin submachine gun (PPSh-41) and the Goryunov heavy machine gun (SG-43 Goryunov) were created at the plant.
Eloise Jarvis McGraw (December 9, 1915 – November 30, 2000) was an American author of children's books and young adult novels.
The actual writing of the books was done entirely by Eloise; Lauren made story contributions significant enough for Eloise to assign her co-authorship credit.
In the 1990s, WWE (then known as the World Wrestling Federation) introduced the term Diva to refer to its female performers.
In 1983, the Fabulous Moolah, who was the NWA World Women's Champion and legal owner of the title, joined the WWF and sold them the rights to the title after they disaffiliated from the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and recognized her as the first WWF Women's Champion.
Additionally, the WWF also recognized Moolah as having been champion ever since first winning the title from Judy Grable in 1956 and disregarded other reigns or title losses that occurred during the title's existence in the NWA.
WWF also introduced the WWF Women's Tag Team Championship with Velvet McIntyre and Princess Victoria recognized as the first champions after also defecting from the NWA.
When it was finally time for Lauper and Albano to settle their differences in the ring, a match-up was scheduled with Albano's represented wrestler Moolah against the challenge of Lauper's protégé, Wendi Richter.
Richter then lost the title to Leilani Kai the following year, but won it back at WrestleMania I on March 31, 1985.
In the summer of 1985, the WWF did a storyline where all established managers in the promotion competed to offer their services to Randy Savage.
In the angle, Steele fell in love with Miss Elizabeth, angering Savage and leading to a series of grudge matches between him and Steele.
When Savage—who had formed an alliance with Hogan—turned on Hogan in early 1989, Miss Elizabeth was a major factor, and she eventually sided with Hogan.
Renaming herself 'Sensational' Sherri, she reigned as champion for fifteen months before losing it to Rockin' Robin; after losing several rematches, Martel took a short leave of absence in early 1989 before being repackaged as Savage's manager.
Also in 1987 Mike McGuirk was introduced as the first female ring announcer of the promotion, arriving after Jesse Ventura referred her to the WWF.
In February 1989, the WWF Women's Tag Team Championship was deactivated and The Glamour Girls (Leilani Kai and Judy Martin) were the final title holders.
Sapphire and Rhodes later feuded with Randy Savage and Sensational Sherri and wrestled in a tag team match at WrestleMania VI.
Miss Elizabeth returned in 1991 and was a key player in Randy Savage's retirement match with The Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VII; Miss Elizabeth left the company for good in April 1992; shortly after her departure, Savage and Miss Elizabeth divorced in real life.
In 1993, the WWF reinstated its Women's Championship, a title that had been vacant since 1990, and Madusa Miceli was brought in by the company to revive the women's division.
She debuted under the ring name Alundra Blayze, because WWF owner Vince McMahon did not want to pay Miceli to use the name Madusa, which she had trademarked.
Blayze defeated Nakano at SummerSlam, but lost the belt to her on November 20, 1994 in Japan at the Big Egg Wrestling Universe event.
Later on as part of a short talent exchange with All Japan Women's Pro Wrestling, various Japanese female wrestlers including Aja Kong debuted leading to the second elimination match at the Survivor Series 1995 event.
In December, due to financial troubles the WWF was having at the time, Blayze was released from her contract and was stripped of the title following her jump back to rival company World Championship Wrestling, and the WWF Women's Championship remained vacant until 1998.
Sunny debuted in April 1995, Marlena debuted in January 1996, Sable debuted in March 1996, and Debra debuted in October 1998.
At first, the characters were a continuation of the WWE female manager, like Miss Elizabeth that had been popular throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Marlena was the manager of Goldust, her then real-life husband, and Sable was manager for her then real-life husband, Marc Mero.
Although, the term diva wasn't used on WWE television until April 1999, these ladies are considered to be the first diva's.
Chyna was offered as an antithesis to the rest of the women, a masculine bodybuilder whose sexual identity was the subject of early storylines.
Sable's eclipsed popularity and her feud with Marc Mero and his new manager, Jacqueline led to the reinstatement of the Women's Championship as well as the promotion's hiring of more female wrestlers.
Sable's popularity led to a shift in the role of women in the WWF, as the promotion began to rely less on its female performers as simply eye candy and placed a greater emphasis on female athletes who actually competed in matches including re-establishing a women's division.
Unlike Jacqueline, Ivory, Tori, and Luna Vachon, the more physical and experienced wrestlers at the time, Sable later admitted that it was written in her contract that she was not allowed to take bumps.
76-year-old Moolah defeated Ivory to win the Women's Championship, becoming the oldest WWF Women's Champion ever, but she re-lost the title to Ivory eight days later.
The year of 2000 saw the debuts of Lita, Trish Stratus, and Molly Holly since the start of the month of February.
She was a contrast to most of the other Divas as she was given a more wholesome gimmick and more modest ring attire.
At No Way Out on February 25, Stratus and Stephanie squared off, with Stephanie scoring the victory after interference by William Regal.
As part of the continuation of Trish Stratus and the McMahons' storyline, it was revealed that Stratus was the victim of a set-up by Vince, Stephanie and Regal.
The storyline came to an end at WrestleMania X-Seven when Stratus slapped Vince during his match against his son Shane McMahon.
Also later in the year at the start of autumn, Tori was released from the WWF entering September while Chyna left the WWF towards the end of November due to real-life issues between herself, Triple H, and Stephanie McMahon.
The departure of Chyna (who was the reigning Women's Champion) led to the Women's Championship being vacant for the second time until Survivor Series.
Also in the autumn of 2001, Trish Stratus was trained by Fit Finlay, who was the road agent responsible for the women's matches, and drastically improved her in-ring ability.
Much of the year of 2002 centered around Trish Stratus and her feuds with Jazz, Molly Holly, and a re-debuting Victoria including over the Women’s Championship.
The WWE women's division would see itself competing in more match-ups previously contested only by men (including for the Women's Championship), such as street fights and hardcore matches.
The departures officially left Trish Stratus, Lita, Victoria, Torrie Wilson, Stacy Keibler, and Lilian Garcia as the remaining original female talent who would continue on in the company.
The most notable departures came in the year of 2006 from the middle of the year until the end of the year starting first when Stacy Keibler departed the company due to transitioning into an acting career followed by at the end of the year as Trish Stratus retired at Unforgiven and Lita retired at Survivor Series.
The departures finally left Victoria, Torrie Wilson, Jazz, Sharmell, Gail Kim, and Lilian Garcia as the remaining final group of original female talents continuing on with the company until most the final group departed one by one leaving Lilian Garcia as the only remaining original female talent left in the company until her departure in spring of 2016.
Although most if not all original female talent left WWE, Trish Stratus, Lita, Sunny, Molly Holly, Victoria, Torrie Wilson, Jackie Gayda, Stacy Keibler, Lilian Garcia, Terri Runnels, Jacqueline, Ivory, and Alundra Blayze would make special appearances or appear in special guest roles with the company in later years.
They faced each other again at the New Year's Revolution pay-per-view event, that led to Lita suffering another injury by tearing her ACL.
in Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle's feud, where Sensational Sherri and Kurt Angle sang a parody of Shawn Michaels' entrance theme.
She made her official WWE in-ring debut on June 30 against Michelle McCool and had her first pay-per-view match against Torrie Wilson at The Great American Bash, winning both matches.
Trish Stratus returned from a legitimate injury to help Ashley Massaro against Candice Michelle, Torrie Wilson, and Victoria who Massaro was feuding at that time.
This led to various angles including a Halloween Costume Contest in which James was dressed like Stratus and helped Stratus retain the Women's Championship in a Fulfill Your Fantasy Battle Royal at Taboo Tuesday by eliminating herself and Victoria at the same time to even utilizing Stratus' signature finishing moves as her own during matches.
Subsequently, the storyline between Mickie and Trish also developed into a lesbian angle after Mickie had a kiss with Trish under a sprig of mistletoe.
The climax of the storyline led to Mickie James and Trish Stratus wrestling each other at WrestleMania 22 for the Women's Championship, where James won the match and became the new champion.
Her angle with Stratus continued into Backlash during a rematch after Stratus legitimately dislocated her shoulder when James threw her out of the ring.
At in 2007, Candice Michelle became the first woman from the WWE Diva Search contest to become the WWE Women's Champion.
Natalya and Michelle McCool became the first two contenders for the new championship, and, at The Great American Bash, McCool defeated Natalya to become the inaugural champion.
At WrestleMania XXV, former WWE Divas Sunny, Victoria, Molly Holly, Torrie Wilson, Miss Jackie, and Joy Giovanni returned to WWE for a one night special appearance in the 25 Divas Battle Royal match to crown Miss Wrestlemania.
At The Bash in 2009, Michelle McCool defeated Melina to capture the Women's Championship and became the first Diva to have ever held both the Women's Championship and the Divas Championship.
Mickie James defeated Maryse on July 26, 2009 at Night Of Champions, ending Maryse's reign at 216 days (also the longest reign of the title at the time) and becoming the second Diva to hold the Divas Championship and Women's Championship.
Beth Phoenix became the new Women's Champion for the third time on April 25, 2010 in an Extreme Makeover at Extreme Rules pay-per-view.
At Night of Champions 2010, the Divas Championship was unified with the Women's Championship as then Divas Champion Melina faced then-self professed co-Women's Champion Michelle McCool in a lumberjill match.
McCool won the match to unify the two titles due to interference from Layla, then McCool locked in her finisher, thus creating the Unified Divas Championship following the lineage and history of the Divas Championship.
McCool lost the title to Natalya on 21 November 2010 at Survivor Series in a handicap match involving Layla, and then they competed against Natalya and Beth Phoenix in the first tables match of the Divas division at .
The company proceeded to air disturbing video packages of her flicking off heads of female dolls and laughing maniacally building towards her tentative arrival.
Gail Kim resigned from WWE on August 5, 2011, due to frustration with WWE's lack of focus on the women's division.
Layla returned from her injury on April 29, 2012 at Extreme Rules and defeated Nikki Bella to become the fifth woman to have held both titles.
On September 16, 2012, at the Night of Champions pay-per-view, Eve Torres defeated Layla to win the Divas Championship, becoming the first Diva in history to hold the title on three occasions.
A month after Phoenix's departure, WWE published an article on their website claiming that there was a new era for the Divas division.

On January 8, 2014, Kaitlyn decided to depart from WWE to pursue other endeavors, losing her last match against her former friend and rival Divas Champion AJ Lee.
Later on towards the end of the month, AJ Lee became the longest reigning Divas Champion in history, surpassing Maryse's reign of 216 days.
With this win, Paige became the first NXT female talent to hold both the NXT Women's and Divas Championships simultaneously as well as becoming the youngest Divas Champion in WWE history at the age of 21.
AJ Lee returned after a two-month hiatus, defeating Paige in an impromptu match to regain the Divas Championship as both then traded the championship until at SummerSlam then Night of Champions.
This led to a match between the twins at Hell in a Cell, where the loser was forced to become the winner's personal assistant for 30 days, where Nikki defeated Brie.
Nikki Bella received her title match against AJ Lee on November 23 at Survivor Series, which she won, with Brie's help, to become a two–time Divas Champion.
This hashtag brought attention to various multi-media outlets over the long-tenured controversy over the company's treatment of their women's division, including AJ Lee who publicly criticized Stephanie McMahon over the issue.
On April 3, 2015, five days after Lee and Paige defeated the Bella Twins at WrestleMania 31, WWE announced that AJ Lee decided to retire from in-ring competition and would depart from the company.
As a result, Stephanie McMahon proclaimed a revolution in the women's division and introduced Charlotte, Becky Lynch, and the NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks as the newest additions to the main roster.
(Naomi, Tamina and Sasha Banks), Team Bella (Alicia Fox and The Bella Twins) and Team PCB (Paige, Charlotte, and Becky Lynch), with the latter team being renamed from Submission Sorority due to links to adult content.
The three teams faced off at SummerSlam in a three team elimination match, where Becky pinned Brie to win the match for Team PCB.
However, since the title could not change hands by disqualification, Nikki retained the championship, and in the process, became the longest reigning Divas Champion in history, surpassing AJ Lee's previous record of 295 days.
Several days later, on September 20 at Night of Champions, Nikki lost the championship to Charlotte, ending her reign at 301 days.
Shortly after, Nikki went on a hiatus from television due to a neck injury which would require surgery, but returned for one night on December 21, to accept the Slammy Award for Diva of the Year.

Debra, Chyna, Sable, Tori, Jacqueline, Terri Runnels, Ivory, Luna Vachon, and Ryan Shamrock were part of the photoshoot and promotional material.
Sunny, Sable, and Chyna were the only three female talents for whom WWE created a separate website in their years with the company.
Stratus also claims that she refused the shoot because she says she can still be sexy without taking her clothes off.
Lita has said that she didn't pose because she felt it was wrong for her (she was known as a role model for young girls at the time) to pose for the magazine.
On March 29, 2015 it was announced by the company that the contest would return in fall of 2015 and would air exclusively on the WWE Network.
Since season 2, various former and current company female talents all have either departed or joined the show including being regulated to recurring or guest roles.
Animated version of various female WWE superstars like Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch , Bella Twins, Charlotte Flair, Paige and Stephanie McMahon were included in Camp WWE.
In 2007, Ashley Massaro, Torrie Wilson, Maryse, Brooke, Layla, and Kelly Kelly shot a video for music producer and rapper Timbaland.
Fighting with My Family a 2019 film co-produced by WWE Studios depicts the WWE career of Paige portrayed by Florence Pugh.
It covered various events of Moolah's life like Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection, The Brawl to End It All, The Original Screwjob, WrestleMania 34 name controversy and various other WWE related incidents.
Throughout the years in WWE, there has been instances where female talent have won male contested championships and to being part of major male contested tournaments or gimmick matches.
She was also the first female to be the number one contender for the WWF Championship, but lost the spot to Mankind before SummerSlam in August.
Later that year, Chyna became the only female to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship after defeating Jeff Jarrett No Mercy on October 17.
Eventually the following year, Chyna would win the championship for the second time in an intergender tag team match at SummerSlam.
Molly Holly (competing as Mighty Molly), Trish Stratus, and Terri Runnels all held the Hardcore Championship briefly throughout the year of 2002.
She became the only woman to have held the championship under the WWE banner and the third woman overall to have won the championship as Madusa and Daffney also held the championship under the WCW banner.
Chyna, Beth Phoenix, Kharma, and Nia Jax are the only female talents in the history of the company to have competed and entered in the male contested Royal Rumble match.
Chyna is the only female talent to have competed in the Royal Rumble match twice in the years of 1999 and 2000.
In the 2019 edition, Nia Jax became also became the first woman to compete in both gender Royal Rumble matches within the same night.
Chyna, Molly Holly (competing as Mighty Molly), Trish Stratus, Terri Runnels, Jacqueline, Alundra Blayze, Kelly Kelly, Candice Michelle, Maria Kanellis, Carmella, and Tamina all held male contested championships in the history of the company.
Stratus retained her title until 2004, where Stacy Keibler ended Stratus' reign and won the honor, receiving her own mini-site and a photoshoot for every month in the year, sometimes two.
In 2005, WWE would host the sole 'Rookie' Diva of the Year contest at No Way Out, where Joy Giovanni defeated Michelle McCool, Lauren Jones, and Rochelle Loewen.
Giovanni received more than half of the vote, followed by McCool who got just under 20%, Loewen got just over 10% and Jones received just 6%.
On April 1, 2017, WWE announced a female tournament called the Mae Young Classic as part of a company presentation in which thirty-two women from different countries competed in a exhibition series of matches.
This chart lists in chronological order every female wrestler who held more than one title in the company, including male contested titles.
The WWF Women's Championship is descended from the original NWA World Women's Championship of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), which is still active today.
In 1983, the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) disaffiliated with the NWA and recognized then-NWA World Women's Champion The Fabulous Moolah as the promotion's Women's Champion.
At It the Night of Champions pay-per-view on September 19, 2010 the Divas Championship would be unified with the WWE Women's Championship, creating the Unified WWE Divas Championship.
On April 3, 2016, WWE Hall of Famer Lita appeared during the WrestleMania 32 pre-show to introduced the new WWE Women's Championship and revealed that the Divas Championship would be retired.
Although it shares the same name the WWE Women's Championship has a unique title history, separate from WWE's original Women's Championship and the Divas Championship.
In 2009 at The Bash, Michelle McCool defeated Melina to win her first Women's Championship, becoming the first woman to have won both the WWE Divas and Women's championships.
Paige became the first female double champion when she won the WWE Divas Championship in her debut while also being the NXT Women's Champion in 2014.
In 1999, Chyna defeated Jeff Jarrett in his last WWF match at No Mercy, to become the first and only woman to win the Intercontinental Championship.
Molly Holly pinned The Hurricane taking the WWE Hardcore Championship from him at WrestleMania X8 on March 17, 2002 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The NXT Women's Championship was introduced on April 5, 2013 and the first NXT Women's Champion was crowned on June 20, 2013 (aired July 24) in the inaugural championship tournament (2013).
Following the reintroduction of the brand split in July 2016, the WWE Women's Champion (Charlotte Flair) was drafted to the Raw brand, making the championship exclusive to Raw.
In August 2016, the WWE created the SmackDown Women's Championship as a counterpart title and the WWE Women's Championship was subsequently renamed to Raw Women's Championship.
The inaugural champions were crowned at Elimination Chamber on February 17, 2019, in a tag team Elimination Chamber match, featuring three teams from Raw and three teams from SmackDown, making the titles non-exclusive to either brand.
As of the current WWE system, on April 30, 2017, Alexa Bliss became the first woman in the WWE to hold the women's titles on both brands of WWE.
Becky Lynch won both the Raw Women’s Championship and SmackDown Women's Championship in a Winner takes all match at WrestleMania 35, making her a double champion and the only woman to hold both titles simultaneously.
A few songs from previous releases were re-recorded for inclusion on the album; the material was anywhere from three months to three years old.
The group met to discuss their commitment to the band; a portion of their day-job wages was being used to help fund the group.
After finalizing their line-up, the group began performing at local venues, eventually gaining support slots for bands like Better Than Ezra and Sugar Ray.
They stayed for over an hour and a half as the group performed a full set, compared to the 20-minute sets that other labels wanted them to play.
The EP soon caught the attention of major label MCA Records, which had a distribution deal with Drive-Thru that allowed MCA to upstream bands from them.
Throughout November, the group toured the California coast, the Midwest and southern states of the US with Reel Big Fish, Sugarcult, Lucky Boys Confusion, River City High, and Riddlin' Kids.
Main recording took place between January and March at various studios across the US: Cello Studios in Hollywood, California; 4th Street Recording in Santa Monica, California; South Beach Studios in Miami Beach, Florida; and Jungle Room Studios in Glendale, California.
McMahon found it easier coming up with arrangements on the piano, rather than a guitar, as it seemed a better instrument with which to expand song structures.
A day or two after it ended, McMahon sat in his parents' garage, where his piano was situated and wrote the song around his memories of the tour.
Following this, the group toured across Europe supporting New Found Glory in August and September, before headlining two shows in the UK and four in Japan.
Following two European shows, the band went on a co-headlining tour of the US with the Juliana Theory between January and March 2003, supported by Vendetta Red, Red West and Fiction Plane.
Mednoye () is a village in Kalininsky District of Tver Oblast, Russia, located on the Tvertsa River, 28 km west of Tver, by the Moscow–St.Petersburg highway.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, the village prospered due to its location on the road leading from Tver to Torzhok and Novgorod.
During World War II Mednoye was a centre of heavy tank fighting (October 1941) which formed part of the Battle of Moscow.
Between April 3 and April 19, 1940, 6,311 Polish officers from the Ostashkov POW camp were brought to the area of Mednoye and subsequently shot to death behind the village of Yamka during the Katyn massacre.
Apart from the Katyn war cemetery, the landmarks of Mednoye include the Church of Our Lady of Kazan (1764), the 18th-century post station, and the memorial house of Sergey Lemeshev.
There were two separate multi-round competitions every year: for higher education (universities) and general education (starting from 7th to 10th/11th grade).
The main difference between two Olympiads was that the school one had separate threads for every grade, while the university one was for all students.
Depending on the subject and geographical region the highest round of the Olympiads varied from the All-Union level in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry to the Regional level in some other disciplines.
Usually, area rounds on each subjects took place in different days, so one student could participate in competitions on several subjects.
This round's contests on different subjects were conducted on the same day, so a student could compete only in one subject.
They were joined by the winners of the Kvant magazine competition and of the republican and All-Union olympiads of the previous year.
This round was a major round, since it recognized the best students of the 15 Republics of the Soviet Union, which are now Independent Countries.
Moscow, Leningrad, a few specialized mathematical schools, and the schools of the transportation ministry system did not compete at the republican level and sent their teams directly to the All-Union round.
An interesting experiment was olympiads in linguistics and mathematics, at which students were challenged to solve problems in both seemingly non-related domains.
This term has come to mean a legit attack or fight in professional wrestling, and its meaning has broadened to include unscripted events in general.
Shoots in general are against the nature of the business, similar to an actor ad-libbing or dropping character during a performance.
Performers who shoot during a wrestling event are often punished (often by lower pay or relegation to opening bouts) or even fired, since it is thought that they cannot be trusted to act according to the bookers' wishes.
While the term technically applies only to wrestling performers, crowds also cause shoots by interfering in events, usually by assaulting or attempting to assault a wrestler.
Fan interference and violence was prevalent in the northeastern and southern United States from the mid to late 20th century, where many wrestling territories became known for offering violent action to a rabid, fiercely loyal audience who largely believed in what they were seeing.
DiBiase, recalling the incident in his autobiography, yelled for Virgil (DiBiase's bodyguard, who was attempting to interfere in the match) to knock the man down, which he did before security led the suspect away as the match played out as intended (Savage knocking the heads of DiBiase and Virgil together before escaping the cage).
In 2002, during a ladder match between Eddie Guerrero and Rob Van Dam, a fan jumped the guardrail, got into the ring, and knocked over the ladder while Guerrero was climbing it.
Guerrero noticed what was going on, landed on his feet, and kicked the fan a few times while security took him away.
During a match with Bray Wyatt at a WWE house show in Victoria, British Columbia in August 2015, Roman Reigns was struck in the head by a metal replica Money in the Bank briefcase thrown by a fan.
Worked-shoot is the term for any occurrence that is scripted by the creative team to come off as unscripted and therefore appear as though it were a real-life happening but is, in fact, still part of the show.
This can be seen as an example of the writers breaking the fourth wall and attempting to court the fans who are interested in shoots (i.e., events outside the traditional in-ring wrestling matchups).
In it, Punk aired his grievances with WWE at the time and announced he would leave the promotion three weeks after his promo with the WWE Championship (Punk would sign a new contract during the time period); the promo was not cut-off until Punk attempted to mention bullying issues within the company.
They are conducted out of character with a wrestler, promoter, manager, or other insider generally being interviewed about their career and asked to give their opinion on wrestlers, promotions, or specific events in their past.
These shoots are often released on DVD, end up on YouTube or other video sharing websites, or as a part of a wrestling podcast.
Drawing from this related term, a shooter or shoot-fighter is not a wrestler with a reputation for being uncooperative but one who uses legit hooking skills as a gimmick.
These wrestlers often gain their skills from martial arts (Ken Shamrock or Josh Barnett), or amateur wrestling (Kurt Angle or Dolph Ziggler).
Angle quickly took Nawrocki down with a guillotine choke, but Nawrocki manages to make it to the ropes, forcing Angle to break the hold.
The term is also often used by wrestling fans, in another definition (in this case, also known as shoot wrestling) to refer to mixed martial arts competitions, which, while superficially similar to wrestling matches, are actual athletic competition rather than sports entertainment.
Example of spontaneous events that are not shoots include mistakes by wrestlers (these are known as botches) or matches where the wrestlers are good enough to not need to plan and rehearse beforehand and can make it up on the spot as time dictates.
They are among the earliest existing Buddhist literature, and place considerable emphasis on the rejection of, or non-attachment to, all views.
They are regarded as earlier because of elements of language and composition, their inclusion in very early commentaries, and also because some have seen them as expressing versions of certain Buddhist beliefs that are different from, and perhaps prior to, their later codified versions.
those of abstention) sides of asceticism, and show a strong concern with letting go of views, regulating everyday bodily activities, and sexual desires.
The ' also places considerable emphasis on the rejection of, or non-attachment to, all views, and is reluctant to put forward positions of their own regarding basic metaphysical issues.
Gomez compared them to later Madhyamaka philosophy, which in its form especially makes a method of rejecting others' views rather than proposing its own.
First, he notes that neither of these short collections of suttas are homogeneous and hence are not all amenable to Gomez' proposals.
According to Vetter, those suttas which do lend support to Gomez probably originated with a heterodox ascetic group that pre-dated the Buddha, and were integrated into the Buddhist Sangha at an early date, bringing with them some suttas that were already in existence and also composing further suttas in which they tried to combine their own teachings with those of the Buddha.
Fuller states that in the Nikayas, right-view includes non-dependence on knowledge and views, and mentions the Buddha's simile of his dhamma as a raft that must be abandoned.
He finds that the Atthakavagga's treatment of knowledge and wisdom is parallel to the later Patthana's apparent criticism of giving, holding the precepts, the duty of observance, and practicing the jhanas.
In his view, both texts exhibit this particular approach not as an attack on practice or knowledge, but to point out that attachment to the path is destructive.
Similarly, the text's treatment of concentration meditation is intended to warn against attachment to insight, and communicate that insight into the nature of things necessarily involves a calm mind.
Alexander Wynne also rejects both of Vetter's claims that the Parayanavagga shows a chronological stratification, and a different attitude toward mindfulness and liberating insight than do other works.
The Theravada tradition has taken the view that the text's statements, including many which are clearly intended to be paradoxical, are meant to be puzzled over and explicated.
Seminiferous tubules are located within the testes, and are the specific location of meiosis, and the subsequent creation of male gametes, namely spermatozoa.
The epithelium of the tubule consists of a type of sustentacular cells known as Sertoli cells, which are tall, columnar type cells that line the tubule.
There are two types: convoluted and straight, convoluted toward the lateral side, and straight as the tubule comes medially to form ducts that will exit the testis.
The seminiferous tubules are formed from the testis cords that develop from the primitive gonadal cords, formed from the gonadal ridge.
During spermatogenesis, the DNA of spermatogenic cells in the seminiferous tubules is subject to damage from such sources as reactive oxygen species.
As of the 1990 Census, 'Thaddeus' was the 611th most popular male name in the United States, while 'Thad', its diminutive version, was the 846th most popular.
Smaller airports with scheduled passenger service are Rotterdam The Hague Airport (formerly known as Zestienhoven), Groningen Airport Eelde, Eindhoven Airport and Maastricht Aachen Airport.
Medical helipads have been assigned the identification codes EH0001 to EH0031 by the Dutch authorities, but these are not official ICAO indicators and thus these helipads are not included in this list.
After the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles the airports on Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius became a part of the Netherlands, however they use the TN prefix instead of EH which is used for other Dutch airports.
Beginning in the late 1800s the area became known for its resorts, but a hurricane in 1906 ended the hotel business.
He was educated at the Quebec grammar school; he studied law and was called to the bar of the province of New Brunswick in 1848.
He practised his profession for four years, and then entered into partnership with a Mr. Hawe in the business of lumbering and shipbuilding.
He became a member of the Executive Council in 1859, and introduced the colony's first bankruptcy act in order to make things easier for debtors.
Mitchell did not run for re-election in 1861, but was soon appointed to the Legislative Council of New Brunswick (the colony's upper house) and rejoined the Executive Council.
He resigned from the Executive Council in 1865 when the pro-Confederation government of Samuel Leonard Tilley was defeated, and helped lieutenant-governor Arthur Hamilton Gordon force the resignation of the anti-Confederation government of Albert J. Smith in 1866.
Mitchell asked Gordon to call an election, and he and his Confederation Party were returned with a majority that approved the participation of the colony in the Canadian Confederation in 1867.
He was an aggressive defender of Canadian interests, and contested foreign fishing in Canadian waters to the extent of using gunboats to seize American vessels.
Mitchell resigned from the Senate in 1872 to run for a seat in the House of Commons of Canada where he felt he would have more influence.
Mitchell resigned his seat in 1878 after being accused of violating the Independence of Parliament Act by leasing a building to the government while he was a senator.
Mitchell returned to the Commons in the 1882 election and was re-elected in the 1887 election as an independent Liberal, but was defeated in the 1891 election.
He also called for mercy for Louis Riel, and blamed Macdonald for causing the Riel Rebellion by not dealing with Métis complaints.
Laurier made him general inspector of fisheries for Quebec and the Maritime provinces, and Mitchell held that position until his death in 1899.
He seemed to recover, but on 25 October 1899, he was found dead in his rooms in the Windsor Hotel, Montreal.
Patrons of the BME website and its IAM community have often gathered for barbecues where they can meet with one another.
Historically, the largest of these BBQs, known as BMEFest, were held in or around Toronto, Ontario and generally on Canada Day with hundreds of participants.
The festivities of BMEFest almost always include suspensions, fireworks, grilled food both vegan and otherwise, and there is usually a commemorative T-shirt for each event.
It is generally free to attend but it is encouraged to sign up ahead of time and may be exclusive to a private group.
The BME site is blocked by many Internet filtering services intended to protect children (and workplaces), for reasons such as nudity, torture, and other adult content.
The residence is so named because of its history as an old farmstead dating back to the mid-19th century and built by settler Henry Fleury in 1850.
Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King privately purchased the farmstead, as part of his country estate at Kingsmere Lake in 1927.
King died at the residence on July 22, 1950, he left the residence and grounds (231-hectare) to the government and people of Canada so that future Canadian officials & citizens could make use of the area.
While he also stated his intentions for his successors to enjoy The Farm as he did, 24 Sussex Drive was already the official residence of the Prime Minister.
Later in his life, he turned to esoteric fields and published obscure hypotheses for which he was strongly criticized by the scientific community.
The Mad Capsule Markets (originally known as The Mad Capsule Market's and Berrie) were a Japanese band that formed in 1985 and were active until 2006.
Their popularity in the Japanese underground music scene steadily grew and in 1990 this success earned them a place as the opening act for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Their earlier lyrical content, with the lyrics wrote mostly by bassist Takeshi Ueda had Marxist/working-class influences, with lyrical themes becoming more and more political with later releases.
From 1990 their sound was mainly punk influenced but quickly began to incorporate different influences in their music by the likes of Killing Joke, Aburadako, The Stalin and Yellow Magic Orchestra.
This was also the first album to be released overseas (in the United States, although almost two years after its Japanese release).
Later that year, the band released The Mad Capsule Market's, a greatest hits compilation containing re-recorded songs from their career up to that point.
On 5 April the band announced that they were taking an 'extended break' from making music under the Mad Capsule Markets' name and instead work on separate projects.
The act itself is described with the verb jobbing, while the act of booking (rather than being booked) to job is called jobbing out.
A regular jobber skilled at enhancing the matches he loses, as opposed to a mediocre local rookie or part-timer, is called a carpenter.
At other times a high-profile loss, particularly one which makes the wrestler in question look weak, foolish, or otherwise damages their reputation, might signify certain behind-the-scenes events that have real-life implications on a wrestler.
Such a job may mark the end of a push, a departure from the company, or a loss of faith in the wrestler as a marketable commodity.
Sometimes, jobbing is presented to a wrestler because of the problems and bad working relationship that the wrestler and the owner of the promotion actually have.
At other times, it is a requirement of a wrestler's on-the-job training, learning how to perform in front of a live audience while helping make the more established wrestlers look credible.
Jobber is a professional wrestling term used to describe a wrestler who is routinely defeated by main eventers, mid-carders, or low-carders.
Jobbers have been used since the 1950s, and they were popular in promotions of the United States and Canada around this time.
Many of these wrestlers also did work matches against each other at larger arena cards at venues such as Madison Square Garden and were usually more competitive against their opponents, with several of these wrestlers gaining victories.
A jobber may not necessarily lose, only make the superstar look powerful - or at least make another wrestler interfering with the match to look more powerful.
One example is Jimmy Jacobs: employed by WWE as a jobber for a time, Jacobs wrestled Eddie Guerrero during the latter's last heel run.
This win (and the Kid) were worked into Ramon's feud with Ted DiBiase, with DiBiase taunting Ramon repeatedly over losing to a nobody until he too was pinned by the Kid.
Jobbers can also get recognition on social media after appearing on a major promotion, giving them exposure they wouldn't receive otherwise.
Some jobbers like Trent Knight, Cougar Jay, Tim Parker, Reno Riggins, Tommy Angel, Bob Emory, Ricky Nelson, Curtis Thompson, the Mulkey Brothers, Kenny Kendall, Red Tyler, Eddie Jackie, among others, grew to become household names to fans due to this, and fans would expect to see the humiliating act after the match.
There are times, however, when a jobber will prove their skill, determination, and/or loyalty to the business, and move beyond jobber status.
Billy Kidman initially started out as a jobber in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), before moving up the ranks to become a champion in both the WCW and WWE.
Paul Roma, who started as a jobber for the WWE in the 1980s, gained enough popularity in WCW to win that promotion's Tag Team Titles with partners such as Paul Orndorff and Arn Anderson, the latter as part of the Four Horsemen; however, in Roma's case, he went downhill again some time later.
The brothers the Hardy Boyz began their careers in WWE as jobbers for a few years, before receiving their first push as legitimate contenders in the tag division.
Another example is Siva Afi, who was a successful main-eventer/mid-carder in the independent circuit, including challenging Ric Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship to a 60-minute time limit draw in front of 20,000 people, ended up being a jobber in the WWF, which eventually led to other local promotions to give him a jobber position.
A tag-team known as The Undertakers that did well on the independent circuit became jobbers when they joined the WWF in 1992 and became known as Double Trouble.
On average, however, Brad Armstrong was more of a jobber to the stars, while his brothers were pure jobbers for the most part, though Brian Armstrong would find the greatest success of the brothers in WWE as the Road Dogg.
A jobber angle involved Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP), whose continual losses during the end of 2008 – including embarrassing losses in which he was pinned by roll-ups from mid-level WWE superstars – cost him the signing bonus he received when he joined WWE.
Autons are essentially life-sized plastic dummies, automatons animated by the Nestene Consciousness, an extraterrestrial, disembodied gestalt intelligence which first arrived on Earth in hollow plastic meteorites.
However, more sophisticated Autons can be created, which look and act human except for a slight plastic sheen to the skin and a flat-sounding voice.
In this attempt, the Nestenes also made use of more mundane, everyday plastic objects, animating plastic toys, inflatable chairs and artificial flowers in addition to their Auton servants.
The Doctor convinced the Master that the Nestenes were too dangerous to be reliable allies, and they reversed the radio beam the invasion force was coming in on, sending it back into space.
The story also featured in a discussion in the House of Lords, where Baroness Bacon expressed worries about it being too frightening even for older children.
When the series was revived in 2005, producer and writer Russell T Davies chose the Autons as the first monster to be featured.
Their intent was to overthrow and destroy the human race, as Earth was ideal for their consumption needs, being filled with smoke, oil and various pollutants.
It is not yet clear if the war mentioned was also the motivation behind their earlier invasions or a recent development, but it is likely to be the Time War that is featured in subsequent episodes of the series.
The Autons in this episode were programmed to believe they were the soldiers of a Roman legion, among them Rory Williams, using the memories of Amy Pond.
They were very realistic and far more sophisticated than the average Auton, and their hands contained futuristic laser guns rather than projectile weapons.
Due to the influences of the cracks in time, the Rory copy possessed the personality of the real Rory and helped save the universe.
In the sequels, the escaped Autons attempt to awaken several dormant Nestenes put in place since before the development of human civilization.
Though BBV was licensed to use the Nestenes, Autons and UNIT by the writers who created them, as with all spin-off productions the canonicity of these films is unclear.
They appeared in issue 15 of Doctor Who - Battles in Time in which they were the main theme of the issue.
In a scramjet engine the residence time of the fuel is very low and complete penetration of the fuel into the flow will not occur.To avoid these conditions flame holders are used.
The simplest design, often used in amateur projects, is the can-type flame holder, which consists of a can covered in small holes.
Much more effective is the H-gutter flame holder, which is shaped like a letter H with a curve facing and opposing the flow of air.
Even more effective, however, is the V-gutter flame holder, which is shaped like a V with the point in the direction facing the flow of air.
Some studies have suggested that adding a small amount of base bleed to a V-gutter helps reduce drag without reducing effectiveness.
It uses only a small amount of space, and its expected running time is proportional to the square root of the size of the smallest prime factor of the composite number being factorized.
A polynomial modulo formula_3, called formula_4 (e.g., formula_5), is used to generate a pseudorandom sequence: A starting value, say 2, is chosen, and the sequence continues as formula_6, formula_7, formula_8, etc.
Because the number of possible values for these sequences are finite, both the formula_11 sequence, which is mod formula_3, and formula_9 sequence will eventually repeat, even though we do not know the latter.
Due to the birthday paradox, the number of formula_14 before a repetition occurs is expected to be formula_15, where formula_16 is the number of possible values.
Once a sequence has a repeated value, the sequence will cycle, because each value depends only on the one before it.
This works because if the formula_28 is the same as formula_29, the difference between formula_23 and formula_24 is necessarily a multiple of formula_2.
He used the same core ideas as Pollard but a different method of cycle detection, replacing Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm with the related Brent's cycle finding method.
In particular, instead of computing formula_41 at every step, it suffices to define as the product of 100 consecutive formula_42 terms modulo , and then compute a single formula_43.
But it then suffices to go back to the previous term, where formula_44, and use the regular ρ algorithm from there.
The ρ algorithm was a good choice for because the prime factor = 1238926361552897 is much smaller than the other factor.
Here we introduce another variant, where only a single sequence is computed, and the is computed inside the loop that detects the cycle.
The code will only work for small test values as overflow will occur in integer data types during the square of x.
In the following table the third and fourth columns contain secret information not known to the person trying to factor = 10403.
If the pseudorandom number formula_48 occurring in the Pollard ρ algorithm were an actual random number, it would follow that success would be achieved half the time, by the Birthday paradox in formula_49 iterations.
It is believed that the same analysis applies as well to the actual rho algorithm, but this is a heuristic claim, and rigorous analysis of the algorithm remains open.
By 1997, he had recruited permanent members; this line-up, which consisted of Townsend on vocals and guitar, Jed Simon on guitar, Byron Stroud on bass, and Gene Hoglan on drums, lasted until the band's dissolution.
Strapping Young Lad's music was characterized by the use of polyrhythmic guitar riffing and drumming, blast beats and wall of sound production.
The band's musical direction was mainly determined by Townsend, whose battle with bipolar disorder and dark sense of humour were major influences on his songwriting.
Townsend disbanded Strapping Young Lad in May 2007, announcing his decision to retreat from public view while continuing to record solo albums.
During a brief stint as touring guitarist for The Wildhearts, Townsend received a phone call from an A&R representative for Roadrunner Records, expressing an interest in his demos and an intention to sign him.
Townsend recruited a permanent line-up for the second album: Jed Simon on guitar, Byron Stroud on bass, and Gene Hoglan on drums.
The band embarked on a world tour in 1997 to promote the album, which included dates in Europe, the US and Australia.
On May 30, 1998, they performed at the Dynamo Open Air festival in Eindhoven, Netherlands, then continued touring the next month in Europe.
Century Media was not initially interested in releasing a live record, but impressed with Townsend's production, the label agreed to release it.
At the end of 1998, Townsend placed Strapping Young Lad on hiatus to concentrate on his solo career and on his work as a record producer.
Although Strapping Young Lad was officially on hiatus, they gave occasional live performances, including an appearance on the Foot In Mouth Tour in 2001 with Fear Factory.
During this period, Townsend's bandmates were active musically; both Stroud and Hoglan recorded with other bands, and all three were involved in Townsend's solo efforts as studio musicians and as part of his live band as well.
Hoglan and Simon also formed a side project called Tenet with Grip Inc. bassist Stuart Carruthers and Interzone frontman Rob Urbinati in early 2002.
In December 2001 Townsend announced, contrary to his earlier public statements, a new Strapping Young Lad album would be released in 2002.
After playing a small number of festivals in 2002, Strapping Young Lad entered the studio in September of that year, to record their third album.
was originally one of two confirmed songs for an EP that was supposed to contain four new songs and four covers.
The band embarked on a headlining tour in the United States in April and May 2005, then went on to tour in Europe.
Starting at the end of June, they toured North America as part of the Sounds of the Underground tour, then joined Fear Factory on the Transgression Tour in the U.S.
While on tour, the band started writing the next album, then continued the work in January 2006, and finished the album by May.
Century Media imposed a strict deadline on the release date of the album; it was to be ready before the 2006 Ozzfest.
In June 2006 Strapping Young Lad embarked on a short festival tour of Europe, including performances at the Rock am Ring and Rock im Park festivals in Germany and the Download Festival in England, which was followed by a second stage appearance at Ozzfest in July and August, where they played to some of their largest audiences in their career.
So I was just like, I'm going to make this record, and do this stupid Ozzfest thing, and tell a bunch of stupid jokes in front of a lot of people at Download, then I'm just going to fuck off for a while.
The bigger this gets, the less I care, to the point where I just need to go spend some time with my family.
Strapping was about the big middle finger, and it still is, but I don't think it needs to go any further than this.
At the time, Townsend's decision to dissolve the band caused a rift between himself and the remainder of the band, who considered SYL to be at the peak of their popularity and potential at the time; according to Simon, the rest of the band remained estranged from Townsend as a result for a time.
Townsend has since stated that this was a one off performance and that he is not interested getting SYL back together or playing songs at future shows.
He posted to Twitter that he no longer feels the same connection to SYL's music and that this performance was closure for him and Strapping.
In an interview on the Metal Hammer podcast, Townsend said that while he still connects to the music, SYL required him to go to extremes that took a toll on him.
On his own website, he reiterates that SYL was a project that he eventually perceived to be harmful to his mental and physical health.
Many of the band's songs showcased Townsend's versatile vocal style, often changing from screaming, and growling to clean vocals, or even falsetto, within the course of a single song.
To achieve a chaotic and cacophonic sound the band utilized complex time signatures, polyrhythmic composition, blast beats, sampling, keyboard effects and intricately layered production.
Townsend used the newest technology available, such as Pro Tools, Steinberg Cubase and Logic Pro, when recording, mixing and producing the band's songs.
Simon and Stroud listed classic hard rock bands, like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and Kiss, and old school thrash and death metal bands, like Exodus, Slayer and Morbid Angel among their influences, while Hoglan's influences range wildly in style from Stevie Wonder to progressive rock drummers like Neil Peart, Terry Bozzio and Nick Mason.
He also used the technique of cross-referencing, repeating lines from his own works, such as older Strapping Young Lad, or solo material.
Strapping Young Lad was known for its energetic live performances, mostly owing to the eccentric appearance and persona of Devin Townsend.
Townsend was famous for his on-stage antics; he integrated his ironic and tongue-in-cheek humor into live shows and interacted heavily with the audience.
He would deliver comical, and often insulting remarks to them, organize circle pits, and parody heavy metal clichés as well as the genre itself.

He was also President of the Professors World Peace Academy International; and Editor of the World&I magazine, published by the Washington Times Corporation, from its founding in 1986 until 2004.
He has held fellowships from the Center of International Studies at Princeton University and from the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences.
Virtual sex is sexual activity where two or more people - or one person and a virtual character - gather together via some form of communications equipment to arouse each other by transmitting sexually explicit messages.
There are companies which allow paying customers to actually watch people have live sex or masturbate and at the same time allow themselves to be watched as well.
Distinctions between positive and negative experiences of sexting are mostly dependent on whether consent was given to make and share the images.
, it is illegal for any person's under the age of 18 to consent to any form of virtual sex (only if nude pictures are sent ), because images of minors are considered child pornography.
Mammary intercourse is a sex act, performed as either foreplay or as non-penetrative sex, that involves the stimulation of a man's penis by a woman's breasts and vice versa.
It involves placing the penis between a woman's breasts and moving the penis up and down to simulate sexual penetration and to create sexual pleasure.
Mammary intercourse involves a man kneeling or sitting on a woman's stomach or chest and placing his erect penis between her breasts, and rubbing or thrusting it there, while the breasts are squeezed around the penile shaft, by either the woman or the man, creating tightness similar to masturbation, and in simulation of penetrative sex.
To create a smooth motion, a lubricant, masturbation cream, or saliva may be spread between the breasts or on the penis.
In one variant, the woman can tighten her breasts around the penis and move them up and down to bring the man to orgasm.
Alternative positions are for the man standing while the woman kneels, or the man laying back with the woman on top.
In some cases, the mammary intercourse can be combined with oral sex by the woman who, through fellatio, can bring the man to orgasm.
Mammary intercourse is mostly suited for women with naturally larger breasts, while it is recommended that woman with smaller breasts be on top.
The woman does not receive direct sexual stimulation during mammary intercourse, other than the erotic stimulation of bringing her sexual partner to orgasm, without sexual penetration.
Since mammary intercourse is a non-penetrative sex act, the risk of passing a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that requires direct contact between the mucous membranes and pre-ejaculate or semen is greatly reduced.
HIV is among the infections that require such direct contact and is therefore very unlikely to be transmitted via mammary intercourse.
A study of the condom usage habits of New Zealand's sex workers said that they offered various safe sex alternatives to vaginal sex to clients who refused to wear a condom.
One sex worker said that mammary intercourse was one alternative used; mammary intercourse performed by a woman with large breasts felt to the client like penetrative vaginal sex.
Freud, however, considered such extensions of sexual interest to fall within the range of the normal, unless marked out by exclusivity (i.e.
At that time, the sperm typically covers the intermammary sulcus or part of the breast, and may be called a tie or cravate, because it resembles a business tie.
Prior to CKY, Margera performed in the band Foreign Objects with former CKY vocalist and guitarist Deron Miller, and he has since worked with Gnarkill, Viking Skull, The Company Band and Fuckface Unstoppable.
Jess Margera is the older brother of professional skateboarder and filmmaker Bam Margera, alongside whom he is considered a founding member of the CKY Crew, which worked on the video series of the same name.
He chose to play the drums as he had two uncles who played the instrument, one of whom later worked as a drum technician on a CKY tour.
Along with bassist Ryan Bruni, the duo later performed under the name Oil, before meeting guitarist Chad I Ginsburg (who was then working as an audio engineer) and changing the name of the band to CKY.
Speaking about his replacement of Morrison, Margera has revealed that he unwittingly contributed to the temporary breakup of the band in 2006, after drinking heavily with the band on tour.
In addition to his work with CKY and Viking Skull, in 2007 Margera formed The Company Band, a supergroup featuring Clutch frontman Neil Fallon and Fireball Ministry frontman James Rota.
Each of the bands had toured with one another between 2005 and 2006, after which the group began jamming together and eventually formed into an official band.
The fate of CKY was cast into doubt in 2011, when the band released a video in which each member spoke about their desires for the future of the band; all members but Ginsburg wanted to record solo albums, while the guitarist favoured releasing another CKY album.
Margera has claimed that Davies offered to join the band during a phone call with the drummer, after he had performed on the singer's solo album.
The programme transferred to television in 2003, with an Open University series on BBC Four, which was later repeated on BBC Two.
Like the radio version, the television series was written by Mark Steel, and features a series of sketches, often setting historical events in the modern day, and making numerous pop culture references.
This version saw Steel deliver his lectures on location, with different sections of each programme coming from locations relevant to that part of the story.
Unlike the radio version, there were no audience sounds, which some critics suggested made the comedy sections feel out of place .
The Swazi () are a Bantu ethnic group of Southern Africa, predominantly inhabiting modern Eswatini and South Africa's Mpumalanga province and Mozambique.
The Swazi are part of the Nguni family that can be archaeologically traced in East Africa where the same tradition, beliefs and cultural practices are found.
This lineage is exclusive to the inhabitants of Eswatini, even though there have been more Swazi people that have moved to South Africa and the United Kingdom in the 20th century.
The Swazi people and the Kingdom of Eswatini today are named after Mswati II, who became king in 1839 after the death of his father King Sobhuza who strategically defeated the British who occupied Swaziland.
The Kingdom of Swaziland was a region occupied by the San people of Southern Africa and the current Swazis came in from North Eastern regions through to Mozambique and eventually Swaziland in the 15th century.
The dominant Swati language and culture are factors that unify Swazis as a nation since there is no other language spoken except for English.
The Swazis are Nguni clans, who migrated from North East Africa and later originated in South-east Africa in the fifteenth century, moved into southern Mozambique, and then into present-day Eswatini (Swaziland).
However some of the Swazi people originate from Sotho clans that were also inhabitants of Eswatini which is why the surname Maseko as the original Royal rulers in Eswatini is similar to Maseho in Lesotho.
As part of the Nguni expansion southwards, the Swazis crossed the Limpopo River and settled in southern Tongaland (today in southern Mozambique near Maputo) in the late fifteenth century.
Under the leadership of Dlamini III who took over from the Maseko and settlement took place in 1750, along the Pongola River where it cuts through the Lubombo mountains.
In 1815, Sobhuza I became the king of Swaziland and was responsible for the establishment of Swazi power in central Swaziland.
Here the Swazis continued the process of expansion by conquering numerous small Sotho and Nguni speaking tribes to build up a large composite state today called Swaziland.
In the late 1830s, initial contact occurred with the Boers, who had defeated the Zulus at the Battle of Blood River, and were settling in the territory that would become the South African Republic.
To establish a peaceful coexistence, a substantial portion of Swazi territory was ceded to the Transvaal Boers who were settled around the Lydenburg area in the 1840s.
It was during the rule of Mswati II, that the Swazi nation was further unified and the people and their country became known as they are today.
The Ngwenyama was not a signatory, and the Swazi claim that their territory extends in all directions from the present state.
The number of Swazis in South Africa is slightly larger than that of Swazis in Swaziland, which is approximately 1.1 million people.
The Kings of Eswatini date back to some considerable time to when the Royal line of Dlamini lived in the vicinity of Delagoa Bay.
The 15 founding clans were Dlamini, Nhlabathi, Hlophe, Kunene, Mabuza, Madvonsela, Mamba, Matsebula, Mdluli, Motsa, Ngwenya, Shongwe, Sukati, Tsabedze, Tfwala and Zwane.
On Saturday morning, the bridal party sit by nearby river, eat goat or cow meat offered by groom's family; in the afternoon, they dance in the groom's homestead.
On Sunday morning, the bride, with her female relatives, stabs ground with a spear in man's cattle kraal, later she is smeared with red ochre.
Umhlanga is one of the well known cultural events in Eswatini held in August/September for young unmarried girls to pay homage to the Ndlovukati.
Most Swazis intertwine this belief with modern day Christianity that was brought by the missionaries, yet many remain faithful to their original African spiritual beliefs.
The album contains six songs by each band, with each band's songs being covers of songs originally performed by the other band.
One with a green cover, which had the songs performed by NOFX followed by the songs performed by Rancid, and one with an orange cover, which placed Rancid's songs ahead of NOFX's (the order of the songs by each band remains identical).
Leigh Eddings (30 September 1937 – 28 February 2007; née Judith Leigh Schall), was the wife of David Eddings and co-author of many of his later works and uncredited co-author of his early works, and married him 27 October 1962.
She had been in the Air Force and had been described by her husband as a world-class cook, a highly skilled fisherwoman and an excellent markswoman.
It was Lester del Rey who believed that multi-authorships were a problem and that it would be better if David Edding's name alone appeared on the books.
Esteban Rodríguez Miró y Sabater, KOS (1744 – June 4, 1795), also known as Esteban Miro and Estevan Miro, was a Spanish army officer and governor of the Spanish American provinces of Louisiana and Florida.
Miró was one of the most popular of the Spanish governors, largely because of his prompt response to the Great New Orleans Fire (1788), which destroyed almost all of the city.
Esteban Miró was born in Reus (currently in the province of Tarragona, Catalonia), Spain, to Francisco Miró and Marian de Miró y Sabater.
In 1779 during the American Revolutionary War and Anglo-Spanish War (1779–83), Miró was a part of the forces commanded by Bernardo de Gálvez in campaigns against the British in West Florida.
Spain had taken over this territory from France after the latter's defeat in 1763 by Great Britain in the Seven Years' War.
After the Revolutionary War, Miró was a key figure in Spain's boundary dispute with the U.S. over the northern boundary of West Florida.
In 1767, the northern boundary was moved to 32°28' north latitude (from the current location of Vicksburg, Mississippi, east to the Chattahoochee River).
In 1783, Britain recognized the Spanish conquest of West Florida in the war, but it did not specify the northern border.
Britain had also granted free navigation on the Pearl River to the United States, even in areas where Spain claimed both sides of the river.
In 1784, the Spanish government closed the lower Mississippi River to the Americans, causing significant fear and resentment among settlers in the western frontiers of Kentucky and Tennessee, who depended on river trade and the major port of New Orleans.
The settlers' anger was directed as much toward the U.S. government for not acting aggressively enough to protect their interests as it was against Spain.
A significant faction within Kentucky considered becoming an independent republic rather than joining the U.S. One of the leaders of this faction was James Wilkinson, who met with Miró in 1787, declared his allegiance to Spain, and secretly acted as an agent for Spain.
Miró fortified Nogales (present-day Vicksburg) and the mouth of the Mississippi against the possibility of war with the U.S. After the Good Friday fire in March of 1788 destroyed almost all of the city of New Orleans, Miró arranged for tents for residents, brought in food from warehouses, sent ships to Philadelphia for aid, and lifted Spanish regulations restricting trade to the city.
The city of New Orleans (today's French Quarter), was rebuilt with more fire-resistant buildings of brick, plaster, heavy masonry, ceramic tiled roofs, and courtyards.
Wherefore, after having made his investigations with the utmost secrecy and precaution, he notified Mirò that, in order to carry, as he was commanded, his instructions into perfect execution in all their parts, he might soon, at some late hour of the night, deem it necessary to require some guards to assist him in his operations.
Not many hours had elapsed since the reception of this communication by the Governor, when night came, and the representative of the Holy Inquisition was quietly reposing in bed, when he was roused from his sleep by a heavy knocking.
Thinking that they had come to obey his commands, in consequence of his letter to the Governor, he said: 'My friends, I thank you and his Excellency for the readiness of this compliance with my request.
The Distillers are an American punk rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 1998 by vocalist and guitarist Brody Dalle.
The Distillers first came together in late 1998, when Australian-born guitarist Brody Dalle met bassist Kim Chi and the two bonded over their love for playing punk rock.
By the end of the year, Kim Chi had left the group to join Exene Cervenka in her band, the Original Sinners.
By summer 2002, The Distillers were composed of Dalle, Sinn, and new drummer Andy Granelli; joint American dates with No Doubt and Garbage were planned for later that fall.
Granelli left the band in early 2005, moving on to play with Darker My Love, and by summer, Sinn had exited as well, later joining up with Angels and Airwaves.
In early 2006, Dalle had her first child, daughter Camille, with new husband Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age.
In January 2018, Dalle shared a teaser video from The Distillers' Instagram and a newly-opened Twitter account to confirm the return of the band.
Initially, it was believed the four Twitter accounts that The Distillers' Twitter was following, would make up the 2018 line-up of the band: Dalle, Bradley, Granelli and former Spinnerette member Alain Johannes.
It was later announced that the band would perform their first official show in over 13 years at The Casbah in San Diego, California in late April 2018.
On April 28th 2019, The Distillers announced they would be entering the studio with English music producer Nick Launay who has worked with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arcade Fire, Kate Bush, Talking Heads, David Byrne, INXS and many more.
Part Two consists of twenty-four chapters, each demonstrating the lesson by tracing the effects of one common economic belief, and exposing common economic belief as a series of fallacies.
If you simply read and comprehend these relatively short texts, you will know far more than most educated people about economics and government.
Economist J. Bradford DeLong said Hazlitt's book well states the Classical view of economics, but does not properly address arguments made by Keynesians.
In a paperback edition in 1961, a new chapter was added on rent control, which had not been specifically considered in the first edition apart from government price-fixing in general.
Following World War II, Chuikov was Chief of the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany (1949–53), commander of the Kiev Military District (1953–60), Chief of the Soviet Armed Forces and Deputy Minister of Defense (1960–64), and head of the Soviet Civil Defense Forces (1961–72).
Chuikov was twice awarded the titles Hero of the Soviet Union (1944 and 1945) and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross by the United States for his actions during the Battle of Stalingrad.
Following his death in 1982, he was interred at the Stalingrad memorial at Mamayev Kurgan, which had been the site of heavy fighting.
Born into a peasant family in the village of Serebryanye Prudy in the Tula region south of Moscow, Chuikov was the eighth of 12 children and the fifth of eight sons.
At the age of 12, he left school and his family home to earn his living in a factory in Saint Petersburg, turning out spurs for cavalry officers.
In October 1918, Chuikov saw active service when he was sent to the Southern Front as a deputy company commander to fight against the White Army.
In the spring of 1919, he became commander of the 40th Regiment (later renamed the 43rd), part of the 5th Army under Tukhachevsky facing the White Army under Kolchak in Siberia.
In the fighting from 1919 to 1920 he received two awards of the Order of the Red Banner for bravery and heroism.
He was wounded four times—one, in Poland in 1920, left a fragment in his left arm that could not be operated on.
Chuikov carried this war wound for the rest of his life, and it eventually led to septicaemia breaking out in 1981, causing a nine-month illness and finally his death.
He left his regiment in 1921 to continue his studies at the Frunze Military Academy, from which he graduated in 1925.
On account of his excellent academic performance, Chuikov was invited to stay at the Frunze Military Academy for another year to study Chinese language and history in the Orient Studies Department.
In the fall of 1926, Chuikov joined a Soviet diplomatic delegation that toured Harbin, Changchun, Port Arthur, Dalian, Tianjin and Beijing, cities in northeastern and northern China.
Chuikov traveled extensively in southern China and Sichuan, became fluent in Chinese, and gained a deeper understanding of Chinese politics and culture.
In 1929, during the China Eastern Railway Incident, Chuikov was forced to leave China after the Soviet Union broke diplomatic relations with the Republic of China on July 13.
Chuikov was assigned to the newly-formed Special Red Banner Far Eastern Army in Khabarovsk and worked on military intelligence, reporting to Vasily Blyukher, the commander of the Far Eastern Army.
The Soviet Far Eastern Army defeated the Northeastern Army of Zhang Xueliang, and Chuikov participated in negotiations that restored Soviet control of the China Eastern Railway.
According to Chuikov's memoirs, his recall was due to Nationalist China claiming that the USSR was providing military aid as part of an attempt to draw the USSR into the Second Sino-Japanese War.
On returning to Moscow, Chuikov was placed in command of the 64th Army, on the west bank of the Don River.
The 64th Army took part in the fighting withdrawal to Stalingrad, and shortly before the Battle of Stalingrad itself began, Chuikov was made commanding general of the more important weak 62nd Army (later 8th Guards), which was to hold Stalingrad itself, with the 64th on its southern flank.
Chuikov had witnessed firsthand the blitzkrieg tactics the Wehrmacht had used to sweep across the Russian steppe, so he used the Germans' carpet-bombing of the city to draw panzer units into the rubble and chaos, where their progress was impeded.
This tactic also rendered the Luftwaffe ineffective, since Stuka dive-bombers could not attack Red Army positions without endangering their own forces.
Chuikov then commanded the 8th Guards as part of 1st Belorussian Front and led its advance through Poland, finally heading the Soviet offensive which conquered Berlin while the Western Allied forces were wiping out what was left in Southern and Western Germany in April/May 1945.
Chuikov's advance through Poland was characterized by massive advances across difficult terrain (on several occasions, the 8th Guards Army advanced over in a single day).
On 1 May 1945, Chuikov, who commanded his army operating in central Berlin, was the first Allied officer to learn about Adolf Hitler's suicide, being informed by General Hans Krebs who had come to Chuikov's headquarters under a white flag.
After the war, Chuikov continued to command the 8th Guards Army in Germany, later serving as Commander-in-Chief of the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany from 1949 until 1953, when he was made commander of the Kiev Military District.
From 1961 until his death, he was a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
He was a major consultant for the design of the Stalingrad battle memorial on Mamayev Kurgan, and was buried there after his death at the age of 82.
The river is in the Saint Lawrence River drainage basin, and flows from the southern extension of Algonquin Provincial Park to the Madawaska River.
The river begins in the southern extension of Algonquin Provincial Park at Yorkend Lake, in geographic Clyde Township in the municipality of Dysart et al, Haliburton County.
It flows west out of the park through geographic Eyre Township and Harburn Township, then loops back east into the southernmost part of the park in geographic Bruton Township.
It takes in the left tributary North York River just before Branch Lake, turns southeast, passes over the High Falls, and exits the park into Benoir Lake.
The river leaves the lake south at the lake's southeast tip, controlled by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources-operated Baptiste Lake Dam, enters the town of Bancroft, and passes over the Bancroft Light & Power Generating Station and dam.
The river is crossed by Ontario Highway 28 and Ontario Highway 62 in the town centre, then turns east and northeast.
It is crossed again by Ontario Highway 28, passes over Egan Chute and Fram Chute at Egan Chutes Provincial Park, and briefly reenters Hastings Highlands at geographic Monteagle Township.
The rivers continues northeast into geographic Carlow Township in the municipality of Carlow/Mayo, passes over the Conroy Rapids and enters the Conroy Marsh, a provincially significant wetland.
As the river flows through the marsh, it first passes into the municipality of Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan, Renfrew County, then takes in the right tributary Little Mississippi River.
The river then reaches its mouth as a right tributary of the Madawaska River in geographic Radcliffe Township in the municipality of Madawaska Valley, near the community of Mayhews Landing.
In the second half of the 19th century, the river was used to transport logs out of the forests surrounding its watershed.
Now, parts of this river have been turned into a provincial waterway park as well as a provincial nature reserve (at Egan Chute).
Arthur Desmond Herne Plummer, Baron Plummer of St Marylebone, TD, DL, FRSA (25 May 1914 – 2 October 2009) was a British Conservative Party politician in London and the longest serving Leader of the Greater London Council 1967 - 1973.
He qualified as a Surveyor but his career was curtailed by World War II where he served with the Royal Engineers leaving with the rank of Major.
In 1950 he was awarded the Territorial Decoration for long service in the Territorial Army, and he was a member of the Territorial Army Sports Board from 1953 until 1979.
He was selected as a Conservative candidate for a byelection to the London County Council in St Marylebone in 1960, and returned unopposed for the safe seat.
By 1966 Plummer was chosen as Leader of the Opposition in succession to Sir Percy Rugg, just a year before the GLC elections.
One of Plummer's first acts was the official opening of the Southbound Blackwall Tunnel, as witnessed by an inscription on its entrance .
His GLC pioneered the sale of council housing, and negotiated from the Government the power to run the London Underground and the rest of London Transport in 1969.
The Conservatives were re-elected under Plummer in 1970 a few weeks before the general election, although Labour regained control of the Inner London Education Authority.
Plummer believed that London's streets, constructed before the car, were insufficient to cope with the growing traffic, and proposed to deal with the problem by creating urban Motorways in the 'Motorway Box'.
The first stretch to be built was the Westway from Marylebone to Acton, which involved the demolition of thousands of homes and building a large concrete flyover which continues to be the major route into central London from the west.
Residents in areas where the new motorways were to go declared their firm opposition, and the Labour opposition pledged to scrap the schemes and instead subsidise public transport.
This, combined with the difficulties of Edward Heath's Conservative government, led to Plummer and the Conservatives being voted out in 1973.
He had already been Chairman of his own Association in 1965, and served on the Executive of the National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations from 1967 to 1976.
Plummer resigned the Leadership of the Conservative Group on the GLC that year, to be succeeded by Horace Cutler, and resigned from the Council in 1976.
He also took up the job of President of the Political Committee of the Carlton Club, the leading Conservative club, from 1979 to 1984.
He was created a life peer on 29 May 1981 as Baron Plummer of St Marylebone in the City of Westminster.
He was not, as some authors have said, an angler but a supporter of making the Thames clean and took an active interest in the angling clubs on the river.
The group also added multimedia and performance art elements to their live shows, which often featured support from like-minded acts such as The Need.
Samson had previously worked with the band as a roadie and the operator of the band's slideshow during the few live performances before Benning's departure.
The cover became a moderate dance hit in Europe, peaking at number five on the Belgian Dance Chart, and at number sixty-six on the UK Singles Chart.
The hall is home to The Hallé orchestra and the Hallé Youth Orchestra and Choir, and is the primary concert venue for the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.
The venue is named after the Third Duke of Bridgewater who commissioned the eponymous Bridgewater Canal that crosses Manchester, although the hall is situated on a specially constructed arm of the Rochdale Canal.
Proposals to replace the concert venue in the Free Trade Hall existed since it was damaged in the Second World War but the hall, which was home to The Hallé orchestra was repaired and renovated.
Throughout the 1970s and 80s several schemes to replace it were considered but the project became more likely in 1988 after the creation of the Central Manchester Development Corporation.
In the 1990s, land east of Lower Mosley Street and north of Great Bridgewater Street adjacent to the G-Mex exhibition centre (now Manchester Central Convention Complex) which was occupied by a former bus station and car park near the Rochdale Canal was identified as the site for a new hall.
A competition inviting architects to present designs for the new concert hall was launched and a proposal by Renton Howard Wood Levin (RHWL) architects was chosen.
The development included the construction of a basin on a specially built short arm of the Rochdale Canal and part of the Manchester & Salford Junction Canal providing a waterfront setting for the hall.
The Bridgewater Hall held its first concert on 11 September 1996 and was officially opened on 4 December by Queen Elizabeth II, alongside the Duke of Edinburgh.
The Bridgewater Hall was one of a number of structures built in the 1990s that symbolised the transition to a new and modern Manchester following de-industrialisation and the 1996 bombing.
Construction of the hall was a joint venture between Manchester City Council and the Central Manchester Development Corporation who obtained funding from the European Regional Development Fund The architects were RHWL and the builders were John Laing.
The main auditorium sits on a foundation of earthquake-proof isolation bearings that insulate it from noise and vibration from the adjacent road and Metrolink line.
The lower part of the hall is built of deep red sandstone from Corsehill Quarry in Annan, the upper walls are clad in aluminium and glass.
Inside the hall, the focal point is a £1.2 million pipe organ with 5500 pipes and four manuals, built by Marcussen & Son, which dominates the auditorium, covering the rear wall with wood and burnished metal.
Since its opening on 11 September 1996, it has been the home of the Hallé Orchestra, the Hallé Choir and the Manchester Boys Choir, and is a regular venue for concerts by the BBC Philharmonic and Manchester Camerata.
From September 2002 it has been home to the Hallé Youth Orchestra and Youth Choir, founded for musicians under the age of nineteen who are not in full-time musical education.
The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP ) is an international non-governmental organization whose mission is to assist in the worldwide development of physics, to foster international cooperation in physics, and to help in the application of physics toward solving problems of concern to humanity.
IUPAP carries out this Mission by: sponsoring international meetings; fostering communications and publications; encouraging research and education; fostering the free circulation of scientists; promoting international agreements on the use of symbols, units, nomenclature and standards; and cooperating with other organizations on disciplinary and interdisciplinary problems.
The Council is its top executive body, supervising the activities of the nineteen specialized International Commissions and the four Affiliated Commissions – it typically meets once or twice per year.
Members of the Council and Commissions are elected by the General Assembly, based on nominations received from Liaison Committees and existing Council and Commission members.
In addition IUPAP has established a number of Working Groups to provide an overview of important areas of international collaboration in physics.
These provide a broad overview of an entire field (typically the field of interest to a Commission), and normally occur at two- or three-year intervals, as advances in the field warrant.
Unlike the Type A, B and C conferences, they do not need to be truly international, but should involve neighbouring countries, and they should address the needs of the region.
The school, which was incorporated into a Jesuit residence in the present Abbeygate Street, continued in Galway through a time of political upheaval and military activity.
In 1859, at the request of the Bishop of Galway, the Jesuits once more took up residence in the city, this time in Prospect Hill and served in the nearby St. Patrick’s Church.
Within a year they had opened a college near the site of the present Bank of Ireland at 19 Eyre Square.
The college’s present location on Sea Road dates from 1863, when it was built the same year as the Jesuit church next door, St Ignatius Church.
The local enthusiasm for the language revival efforts of the emerging Republic of Ireland was to be served by a re-invigorated Coláiste Iognáid, which became an Irish-medium School in 1931.
In 1969, with the co-operation of management and staff, coupled with the help of parents, past pupils, and friends of the Jesuits, the present main school building, the Griffin Building, was built.
Following consultation with staff and Jesuits, the school established the Board of Management in 1980 to take shared responsibility for all aspects of the school – the first agreed board of its kind in Ireland.

German-Jewish history is documented in the collections, the library and the archive, and is reflected in the museum's program of events.
Opposite the building ensemble, the W. Michael Blumenthal Academy of the Jewish Museum Berlin was built – also after a design by Libeskind – in 2011/2012 in the former flower market hall.
The first Jewish Museum in Berlin was founded on 24 January 1933, under the leadership of Karl Schwartz, six days before the Nazis officially gained power.
The museum was built next to the Neue Synagoge on Oranienburger Straße and, in addition to curating Jewish history, also featured collections of modern Jewish art.
The museum's art collection was also seen as a contribution to German art history and one of the last exhibitions to be held was a retrospective of the German impressionist, Ernst Oppler in 1937.
To reflect this focus on living history, the entrance hall of the museum both contained busts of prominent German Jews, such as Moses Mendelssohn and Abraham Geiger, and also a number of works by contemporary Jewish artists such as Arnold Zadikow and Lesser Ury.
On 10 November 1938, during the 'November Pogroms', known as Kristallnacht, the museum was shut down by the Gestapo, and the museum's inventory was confiscated.
The empty museum was completed in 1999 and attracted over 350,000 people before it was filled and opened on 9 September 2001.
The Libeskind building, consisting of about 161,000 square feet (15,000 square meters), is a twisted zig-zag and is accessible only via an underground passage from the old building.

The planned children's museum will be housed in the W. Michael Blumenthal Academy and is scheduled to open in spring 2020.
Visitors still have access to the axes in the basement of the Libeskind Building, the Garden of Exile, and the Voids.
The Baroque period was regarded through the lens of Glikl bas Judah Leib (1646–1724, also known as Glückel von Hameln), who left a diary detailing her life as a Jewish business woman in Hamburg.
The intellectual and personal legacies of philosopher Moses Mendelssohn (1729–1786) were next; both figures were flanked by depictions of Jews in court and country.
The Age of Emancipation in the nineteenth century was presented as a time of optimism, achievement and prosperity, though setbacks and disappointments were displayed as well.
In the section on National Socialism, emphasis was placed on the ways in which Jews reacted to the increasing discrimination against them, such as founding Jewish schools and social services.
Towards the end of the exhibition, two major Nazi trials of the post-war period were examined – the Frankfurt Auschwitz trial (1963-1965) and the Majdanek trial in Düsseldorf (1975-1981).
The exhibition tour concluded with an audio installation of people who grew up in Germany reporting on their childhood and youth after 1945.
Visitors are invited to walk on the faces and listen to the sounds created by the metal sheets, as they clang and rattle against one another.
The museum archive safeguards over 1,500 family bequests, in particular from the eras of the Empire, the First World War, and Nazism.
Since September 2001, there has been a branch of the archive of the New York Leo Baeck Institute at the Jewish Museum.
The LBI has its principal office in New York and holds the most comprehensive collection of materials on the history of Jews in Germany, Austria, and other German-speaking areas in Central Europe of the last 300 years – including about one million documents such as local authority records, personal documents, correspondence, a photo archive as well as numerous testimonies from religious, social, cultural, intellectual, political, and economic life.
Until March 2017, Jewish history was presented in a multimedia and interactive way at 17 computer terminals for individual visitors and groups.
The Academy of the Jewish Museum Berlin was opened in 2012 to create a place of research and discussion that goes beyond Jewish history and present, expanding the museum's spectrum to include the themes of migration and diversity.
The Jewish Museum Berlin Foundation receives an annual grant from the funds of the Federal Government Commissioner for Cultural Affairs and the Media; this covers around three-quarters of its total budget.
Since 2002, the Jewish Museum Berlin and the Friends and Patrons of the Jewish Museum Berlin have presented the annual Prize for Understanding and Tolerance.
In February 2019, the German government indicated that it would take steps to prevent the museum becoming a platform for BDS.
In June 2019, then-director Schäfer used the museum's official Twitter account to retweet a call by 240 Jewish and Israeli academics for the German government to not equate BDS with anti-Semitism, to protect freedom of expression and assembly, and to fight anti-Semitism.

Rugia and Usedom islands, Heiligendamm, Norderney and Sylt islands) particularly developed during the 19th and early 20th century, when major train routes were built to connect the seaside spas to urban centers.
At rivers and close to natural landscapes (along the Middle Rhine valley and in Saxon Switzerland for example) many health spas, hotels and recreational facilities were established since the 19th century.
Since the end of World War II tourism has expanded greatly, as many tourists visit Germany to experience a sense of European history and the diverse German landscape.

The main winter sport regions in Germany are the Bavarian Alps and Northern Limestone Alps, as well as the Ore Mountains, Harz Mountains, Fichtel Mountains and Bavarian Forest within the Central Uplands.
In terms of numbers of overnight stays, travel to the twelve largest cities in Germany more than doubled between 1995 and 2005, the largest increase of any travel destination.
Consequently, the provision and supply of more and higher standards of cultural, entertainment, hospitality, gastronomic, and retail services also attract more international guests.
Other cities and towns with over 1 million nights per year are Rostock, Hannover, Bremen, Cuxhaven, Bonn, Freiburg, Münster, Lübeck, Wiesbaden, Essen and Regensburg.
Berlin has a yearly total of about 135 million day visitors, which puts it in third place among the most-visited city destinations in the European Union.

In immunology, the mononuclear phagocyte system or mononuclear phagocytic system (MPS) (also known as the reticuloendothelial system or macrophage system) is a part of the immune system that consists of the phagocytic cells located in reticular connective tissue.
The mononuclear phagocyte system is also a somewhat dated concept trying to combine a broad range of cells, and should be used with caution.
The monocyte is formed in the bone marrow and transported by the blood; it migrates into the tissues, where it transforms into a histiocyte or a macrophage.
Macrophages are diffusely scattered in the connective tissue and in liver (Kupffer cells), spleen and lymph nodes (sinus histiocytes), lungs (alveolar macrophages), and central nervous system (microglia).
The half-life of blood monocytes is about 1 day, whereas the life span of tissue macrophages is several months or years.

Timon and Pumbaa are initially excited by man's developments, but Simba shows them the price that comes with the human necessities.
He explains that humans have caused harm to the environment with their excessive consumption through activity such as deforestation, endangerment of species and pollution.
He says that once humans realized what they were destroying, they began to repair the damage through recycling, alternative energy and conservation programs.
Timon and Pumbaa decide to help the humans give back to nature, but Simba shows them that they already can at home.
At the beginning of every mission, the player must 'start up' the machine and operating system; this is handled through a series of switches and buttons dedicated to this purpose.

In order to both raise worldwide awareness of physics and celebrate the major advances made in the field, the World Congress of Physical Societies proposed and the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics resolved that 2005 should be commemorated as the World Year of Physics.
Composers began setting the poems to music less than ten years after their first appearance, and many parodists have satirised Housman's themes and poetic style.
He had more than a year to think about it, since most of the poems he chose to include in his collection were written in 1895, while he was living at Byron Cottage in Highgate.
The book was published the following year, partly at the author's expense, after it had already been rejected by one publisher.
At first the book sold slowly; the initial printing of 500 copies, some 160 of which were sent to the US, did not clear until 1898.
Sales revived during the Second Boer War (1899–1902), due in part to the prominence of military themes and of dying young.
Initially he declined royalty payments, so as to keep the price down, and also encouraged small, cheap pocket (and even waistcoat pocket) editions.
By 1911 sales were at an annual average of 13,500 copies, and by its fiftieth anniversary there had been approaching a hundred UK and US editions.
Housman later repeated the claim made in the final poem of the sequence (LXIII) to have had a young male readership in mind.
They responded to Housman's lament for the transience of love, idealism and youth in what was in essence a half-imaginary pastoral countryside in a county only visited by him after he had begun writing the poems.
Not all the poems are in the same voice and there are various kinds of dialogue between the speaker and others, including conversations beyond the grave.
The collection begins with an imperial theme by paying tribute to the Shropshire lads who have died as soldiers in the service of The Queen Empress, as her golden jubilee (1887) is celebrated with a beacon bonfire on Clee Hill (I).
The poet exchanges a glance with a marching soldier and wishes him well, thinking they will never cross paths again (XXII).
The hostility of the ancient Saxon and Briton are in his blood, and he owes his life to violence and rape (XXVIII).
(XXXII) If he is of no use to those he loves, he will leave, perhaps to enlist as a soldier (XXXIV, XXXV).
The wind sighs across England to him from Shropshire, but he will not see the broom flowering gold on Wenlock Edge (XXXVIII-XL).
London is full of cold-hearted men who fear and hate one another, but he will make the best of life while he has a living will (XLIII).
These two poems were suggested by a report on the death of a naval cadet in August 1895 who had left behind him a letter mentioning these reasons for taking his own life.
He was happy before he was born, but he will endure life for a while: the cure for all sorrows will come in time (XLVIII).
If crowded and noisy London has its troubles, so do quiet Clun and Knighton, and the only cure for any of them is the grave (L).
From the grave the suicide's ghost visits the beloved (LIII), a theme apparently derived from a traditional ballad of the unquiet grave type.
Like the lad that becomes a soldier, one can choose to face death young rather than put it off out of cowardice (LVI).
It matters not if he sleeps among the suicides, or among those who died well – they were all his friends (LXI).
Some mock his melancholy thoughts but he has used them like the poisons sampled by Mithridates and will survive to die old (LXII).
All but eight poems in the collection have been set to music, and eleven of them in ten or more settings.
Several composers wrote song cycles in which the poems, taken out of their sequence in the collection, contrast with each other or combine in a narrative dialogue.
Charles Wilfred Orr, who made 24 Housman settings, united some in cycles of two (1921-2), seven (1934) and three songs (1940).
The example of rather traditional woodcuts was also taken up in the US in the Peter Pauper Press edition (Mount Vernon, NY, 1942) with its 'scenic decorations' by Aldren Watson (1917-2013); that too saw later reprintings.
Other American editions have included the Illustrated Editions issue (New York, 1932) with drawings by Elinore Blaisdell (1900–94) and the Heritage Press edition (New York, 1935) with coloured woodcuts by Edward A. Wilson (1886-1970).
Translations of poems from all of Housman's collections into Classical Greek and Latin have been made since he first appeared as an author.
In the same year, a pink climbing rose with a strong fragrance, bred by David Austin, was also named after the book.
A trowel is a small hand tool used for digging, applying, smoothing, or moving small amounts of viscous or particulate material.
A power trowel is a much larger gasoline or electrically powered walk-behind device with rotating paddles used to finish concrete floors.
Numerous forms of trowel are used in masonry, concrete, and drywall construction, as well as applying adhesives such as those used in tiling and laying synthetic flooring.
Masonry trowels are traditionally made of forged carbon steel, but some newer versions are made of cast stainless steel, which has longer wear and is rust-free.
Clifford William Robinson (September 1, 1866 – July 27, 1944) was a New Brunswick lawyer, businessman and politician, the 12th Premier of New Brunswick.
He was born in Moncton, New Brunswick and was educated in Point de Bute, Saint John and Moncton before attending Mount Allison University.
The Liberals had been in power since 1883, however, and voters opted for a change in the 1908 election which brought the Conservatives to power.
When the Liberals returned to power in 1917, Robinson became minister without portfolio and then Minister of Lands and Mines in the governments of Walter E. Foster and Peter J. Veniot until 1924 when he was appointed to the Senate of Canada by Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King.
He was president or director for a number of businesses in the Moncton area, helped found the Central Trust Company Limited and the Petitcodiac Hydro Development Company and also helped establish Moncton radio station CKCW.
Cheek kissing is a ritual or social kissing gesture to indicate friendship, family relationship, perform a greeting, to confer congratulations, to comfort someone, to show respect.
Cheek kissing is very common in Southern, Central and Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, Central America and South America.
In other countries, including the U.S. and Japan, cheek kissing is common as well at an international meeting between heads of state and First Ladies or members of royal and the Imperial families.
Depending on the local culture, cheek kissing may be considered appropriate among family members as well as friends and acquaintances: a man and a woman, two women, or two men.
In Eastern Europe, male–female and female–female cheek kissing is a standard greeting among friends, while male–male cheek kisses are less common.
The appropriate social context for use can vary greatly from one country to the other, though the gesture might look similar.
In cultures and situations where cheek kissing is the social norm, the failure or refusal to give or accept a kiss is commonly taken as an indicator of antipathy between the people, and to dispel such an implication and avoid giving offense may require an explanation, such as the person has a contagious disease such as a cold.
Cheek kissing between adults, when it occurs at all, is most often done between two people who know each other well, such as between relatives or close friends.
Particularly in the southeastern United States (Southern), elderly women may be cheek kissed by younger men as a gesture of affection and respect.
In Miami, Florida, an area heavily influenced by Latin American and European immigrants, kissing hello on the cheek is the social norm.
When introduced to someone new by a mutual acquaintance in social settings, it is customary to greet him or her with a cheek kiss if the person being introduced to them is a member of the opposite sex or if a woman is introduced to another woman.
In business settings, the cheek kiss is not always standard upon introduction, but once a relationship is established, it is common practice.
As with other regions, cheek kissing may be lips-to-cheek or cheek-to-cheek with a kiss in the air, the latter being more common.
As in Southern Europe, in Argentina and Uruguay men kissing men is common but it varies depending on the region, occasion and even on the family.
Men kissing men varies depending on the country and even on the family, in some countries (or areas like Southern Italy) men will kiss men; in others only men of the same family would consider kissing.
For example, in most parts of Crete, it is common between a man and a woman who are friends, but is very uncommon between men unless they are very close relatives.
In Athens it is commonplace for men to kiss women and women to kiss other women on the cheek when meeting or departing.
However, in Portugal and Spain, usually, women kiss both men and women, and men only kiss women (so, 2 men rarely kiss).
In Portuguese families men rarely kiss men (except between brothers or father and son), the handshake is the most common salutation between them.
Hugging is common between men and men and women and women; when the other is from the opposite sex, a kiss may be added.
In most Southern European countries, kissing is initiated by leaning to the left side and joining the right cheeks and if there's a second kiss, changing to the left cheeks.
some parts of Italy) the process is the opposite, you first lean to the right, join the left cheeks and then switch to the right cheeks.
In the former Yugoslavia, cheek kissing is also very commonplace, with your ethnicity being ascertainable by the number of kisses on each cheek.
Typically, Croats and Bosniaks will kiss once on each cheek, for two total kisses, whereas Serbs will kiss once, but three times as a traditional greeting, typically starting at the right cheek.
In Serbia and Montenegro, it is also not uncommon for men to kiss each other on the cheek three times as a form of greeting, usually for people they have not encountered in a while, or during the celebrations (wedding, birthday, New Year, religious celebrations, etc.
In Bulgaria cheek kissing is practiced to a far lesser extent compared to ex-Yugoslavia and is usually seen only between very close relatives or sometimes between close female friends.
In Romania, cheek kissing is commonly used as a greeting between a man and a woman or two women, once on each cheek.
A popular French joke states that you may recognize the city you are in by counting the number of cheek kisses, as it varies across the country.
In the Netherlands and Belgium, cheek kissing is a common greeting between relatives and friends (in the Netherlands slightly more so in the south).
Generally speaking, women will kiss both women and men, while men will kiss women but refrain from kissing other men, instead preferring to shake hands with strangers.
It is customary in many regions to only have kisses between women and women, but not men and women, who only shake hands or hug (more familiar) instead.
Although cheek kissing is not as widely practiced in the United Kingdom or Ireland as in other parts of Europe, it is still common.
Generally, a kiss on one cheek is common, while a kiss on each cheek is also practiced by some depending on relation or reason.
It is mostly used as a greeting and/or a farewell, but can also be offered as a congratulation or as a general declaration of friendship or love.
Cheek kissing is acceptable between parents and children, family members (though not often two adult males), couples, two female friends or a male friend and a female friend.
Cheek kissing between two men who are not a couple is unusual but socially acceptable if both men are happy to take part.
The cheek kiss is usually made once (right cheek to right cheek), either between two women, or between a woman and a man.
Amongst the upper classes, it is a common greeting among adults who are friends, while for the rest of the population, however, the gesture is generally reserved for relatives.
In certain communities in Indonesia, notably the Manado or Minahasa people, kissing on the cheeks (twice) is normal among relatives, including males.
In parts of Central, South, and East Asia with predominantly Buddhist or Hindu cultures, or in cultures heavily influenced by these two religions, cheek kissing is largely uncommon and may be considered offensive, although its instances are now growing.
It is typical for individuals to cheek kiss twice (one time on each cheek) when greeting and when saying goodbye, regardless of gender.
Some exceptions to this are liberal areas within cities in some of the more liberal Arab countries such as Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Tunisia, where cheek kissing is a common greeting between unrelated males and females in most communities.
Normally in Lebanon, the typical number of kisses is three: one on the left cheek, then right, and then left between relatives.
Male to male cheek kissing is considered normal in almost every occasion, but very rarely for men who are introduced for the first time.
Some men hit each other's head on the side instead of cheek kissing, possibly as an attempt to masculinize the action.
Cheek kissing between women is also very common, but it is also very rare for women who are introduced for the first time.
A man and a woman could cheek kiss each other for greeting without sexual connotations only if they are good friends or depending on the circle, the setting, and the location like in big cities.
However, cheek kissing between male and female in public is considered to be a punishable crime by the government, but it is known to occur among some young Iranians.
They share many of their parents' distinctively lively, playful personality traits and are similarly distinguished by a pointed coat pattern in a variety of colors.
The best known variety is the short-haired Tonkinese, but there is a medium-haired (sometimes called Tibetan) which tends to be more popular in Europe, mainly in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and France.
The founder of the American Burmese type, a female named Wong Mau imported to the United States in 1930, is thought to have been genetically a crossbreed of this type.
Margaret Conroy, of Canada, and Jane Barletta, of the United States, crossed the Siamese and Burmese breeds, with the aim of creating the ideal combination of both parent breeds' distinctive appearance and lively personalities.
The name is a reference to the Tonkin region of Indochina, though it is suggestive only, as the cats have no connection with the area.
They have a gently rounded, slightly wedge-shaped head and blunted muzzle, with moderately almond-shaped eyes and ears set towards the outside of their head.
The American style is a rounder but sculpted head with a shorter body and sturdier appearance to reflect the old-fashioned Siamese and rounded Burmese from which it was originally bred in the United States.
Newer Tonk breeders wanted to avoid defective genes in the original Burmese lines, so avoided using cats they believed carried the so-called lethal genes.
Tonkinese are currently officially recognized by the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) in four base colors: natural (a medium brown), champagne (a paler buff-beige), blue, and platinum.
TICA (The International Cat Association) has always accepted all of the colors and patterns, as they are not a selective association, like CFA, whose breeds and colors are determined by its breed councils and the executive board.
While both of these major organization have rules for acceptance and advancement of breeds, TICA adheres to a scientific approach based on genetics, while CFA relies on its breed council membership to determine a breed's merits.
Like both parent breeds, Tonkinese are intelligent, active, vocal and generally people-oriented cats, playful and interested in everything going on around them; however, this also means they are easily susceptible to becoming lonesome or bored.
Their voice is similar in tone to the Burmese, persistent but softer and sweeter than the Siamese, similar to the gentle quacking of a duck.
Like Burmese, Tonkinese are reputed to sometimes engage in such dog-like behaviors as fetching, and to enjoy jumping to great heights.
The Tonkinese is a true crossbreed type, with coat color and pattern wholly dependent on whether individuals carry the Siamese or Burmese gene.
Breeding two mink Tonkinese cats does not usually yield a full litter of mink kittens, as this intermediate pattern is the result of having one gene for the Burmese solid pattern and one for the Siamese pointed pattern.
A pointed bred to a mink will produce half pointed and half mink kittens, and a solid bred to a mink will produce half solid and half mink kittens.
The land the Nivkh inhabit is characterized as taiga forest with cold snow-laden winters and mild summers with sparse tree cover.
The Nivkh are believed to be the original inhabitants of the region, and to derive from a proposed Neolithic people that migrated from the Transbaikal region during the Late Pleistocene.
In the 1850s–1860s, Cossacks of the Russian Empire annexed and colonized Nivkh lands, where they are a small, often neglected, minority today.
Today, the Nivkh live in Russian-style housing and with the overfishing and pollution of the streams and seas, they have adopted many foods from Russian cuisine.
The Nivkh are physically and genetically different from the surrounding peoples, and scholars believe they are the indigenous inhabitants of the area.
The current archaeological model suggests that a sub-Arctic technological culture originating from the Transbaikal region, termed the microlithic culture, migrated across Siberia and populated the Amur and Sakhalin region during the Late Pleistocene, perhaps earlier.
The Nivkh are considered the last surviving ethnic group able to adapt to the warmer climate and not be assimilated or squeezed out by the newcomers, hence the Nivkh isolate language.
(2002) tested a sample of seventeen Nivkh males and found that six of them (35%) belonged to Haplogroup C-M48, six of them (35%) belonged to Haplogroup P-M45(xQ-M3, R-M17), two of them (12%) belonged to Haplogroup C-M130(xM48), two of them (12%) belonged to Haplogroup K-M9(xO1a-M119, O2-M122, N-Tat, P-M45), and one of them (6%) belonged to Haplogroup O1a-M119.
According to the abstract for a doctoral dissertation by Vladimir Nikolaevich Kharkov, a sample of 52 Nivkhs (Нивхи) from Sakhalin Oblast (Сахалинская область) contained the following Y-DNA haplogroups: 71% (37/52) C3*-M217(xC3c-M77/M86, C3d-M407), 7.7% (4/52) O3a*-M324(xO3a3c-M134), 7.7% (4/52) Q-M242(xQ1a3-M346), 5.8% (3/52) D-M174, 3.8% (2/52) O-M175(xO2-P31, O3-M122), 1.9% (1/52) O2-P31, and 1.9% (1/52) N1c1-M46/M178.
(2005), the members of this sample of Nivkhs belong to haplogroup Y (37/57 = 64.9%), haplogroup D (16/57 = 28.1%), haplogroup G1 (3/57 = 5.3%), and haplogroup M(xC, Z, D, G) (1/57 = 1.8%).
(2005) have found the following mtDNA haplogroups: 67.3% (37/55) haplogroup Y, 25.5% (14/55) haplogroup G, 3.6% (2/55) haplogroup D, 1.8% (1/55) haplogroup M(xC, Z, D, G), and 1.8% (1/55) haplogroup N or R(xA, B, F, Y).
(2013), the members of a sample of 38 Nivkhs collected in northern Sakhalin belonged to haplogroup Y1a (25/38 = 65.8%), haplogroup D4m2 (10/38 = 26.3%), and haplogroup G1b (3/38 = 7.9%).
One identical Y1a haplotype was shared by eight Nivkh individuals, another Y1a haplotype was shared by six Nivkh individuals, and two other Y1a haplotypes were shared by three Nivkh individuals each, indicating a low genetic diversity of this population.
Likewise, one identical D4m2 haplotype was shared by four Nivkh individuals, another D4m2 haplotype was shared by two Nivkh individuals, and a third D4m2 haplotype was shared by two or three Nivkh individuals and a Northeast Yakut individual.
Besides the Nivkhs, the authors also have found mtDNA that belongs to haplogroup D4m2 in 8.7% (2/23) Sakkyryyr Evens, 3.7% (1/27) Tompo Evens, and 3.1% (1/32) Northeast Yakuts, with the Northeast Yakut individual sharing an identical haplotype with several of the Nivkhs.
The authors have noted that mtDNA sequences that belong to the same branch of haplogroup D have been found in Evenks, Evens, Yukaghirs, and South Siberian Buryats and Turkic speakers, and another study has reported one instance of D4m2 in a sample of 154 Dolgans.
A genetic analysis in 2016 showed that the Okhotsk people, often theorised to be ancestors of the Nivkhs, were present in parts of northern Japan during the 5th and 9th centuries.
Ainu-related ancestry is present in the Japanese and the Ulchi people from the lower basin of the Amur River (17.8 and 13.5% mean ancestry, respectively), as well as in two Nivkh individuals, an indigenous population from the Sakhalin island, in a similar analysis with additional samples (27.2% mean ancestry).
The Sakhalin Nivkhs populated the island during the Late Pleistocene period, when the island was connected to the Continent of Asia via the exposed Strait of Tartary.
Nivkh lands extended along the northern coast of Manchuria from the Russian fortress at Tugur Bay eastward to the mouth of the Amur River at Nikolayevsk, then south through the Strait of Tartary as far as De Castries Bay.
Formerly their territories had extended westwards at least as far as the Uda river and the Shantar Islands until pushed out by the Manchus and, later, the Russians.
After the Treaty of Nerchinsk in 1689, they functioned as intermediaries between the Russians, Manchu and Japanese, also with the Ainu who were vassals of the Japanese.
The Russian Empire gained complete control over Nivkh lands after the 1858 Treaty of Aigun and the 1860 Convention of Peking.
The Nivkh suffered epidemics of smallpox, plague, and influenza, brought by the foreign immigrants and spread in the crowded, unsanitary prison environment.
Though the Empire of Japan never controlled the northern part of Sakhalin, Japan and Russia jointly ruled the island as part of the 1855 Treaty of Shimoda.
The Russian Priamur Governor-Generalship had difficulty finding Russian labour and allowed Japanese and Nivkh fishermen to develop the area, though they were heavily taxed.
Russian authorities prevented the Nivkh from fishing in prior coastal and river systems via bans and high taxes from cached fish.
The first of many incidents of over-exploitation of fisheries by the Japanese (and later the Russians) on the Tartar Strait and lower Amur occurred in 1898.
Soviet authorities showcased the Nivkh as a 'model' nation for a culture quickly transforming from the Neolithic to a socialist industrial model.
From 1945 to 1948, many Nivkh, as well as half of the Oroks and all of the Sakhalin Ainu, who had been living under Japanese jurisdiction in the southern half of Sakhalin, were forced to move to Japan along with the ethnic Japanese settlers.
In the post-Soviet Russian commonwealth of nations, the Nivkh have fared better than the Ainu or the Itelmens, but worse than the Chukchi or the Tuvans.
The Soviet government in 1962 resettled many of the Nivkh into fewer, denser settlements, such that Sakhalin settlements had been reduced from 82 to 13 by 1986.
The Nivkh were dependent on the state-funded collectives, and with their dissolution, rapid economic hardship ensued for the already poor populace.
At present, the Nivkh living in the north of Sakhalin see their future threatened by the giant offshore oil extraction projects known as Sakhalin-I and Sakhalin-II, operated by foreign Western firms.
Since January 2005, the Nivkh, led by their elected leader Alexey Limanzo, have engaged in non-violent protest actions, demanding an independent ethnological assessment of Shell's and Exxon's plans.
It is suggested that the Nivkh people were present in a wide area of Northeast Asia and influenced other people and their cultures.
There are indications that the ancestors of the Nivkh may have played a much more prominent role in pre- and protohistorical Manchuria.
Nivkh villages consisted of 3 to 4 households shared by several families with larger villages rare, mostly located on the Amur estuary.
Villages would last for several decades but were susceptible to floods and sometimes vanished such as the many wiped out during the devastating Amur floods of 1915 and 1968.
In the late fall able-bodied Nivkh men would leave the villages to hunt for game in the surrounding hunting grounds whereas women would gather foods from the forests.
Nivkh would move to winter settlements near rivers to survive the harsh snows and catch salmon spawning (see list of Nivkh settlements).
The Nivkh were very hospitable, such that the Nanai located upstream on the Amur when faced with hard times would often visit or stay in Nivkh villages.
Cross-cousin marriage seems to be the original custom with the clan a latter necessity when the clan was unable to marry individuals without breaking taboo.
Nivkh's traditional religion was based on animist beliefs, especially via shamanism, before colonial Russians made efforts to convert the population to Eastern Orthodox Christianity.
Nivkh animists believe the island of Sakhalin is a giant beast lying on its belly with the trees of the island as its hair.
Nivkhs' have extensive folklore, songs, and mythos of how humans and the universe were created, and of how fantastic heroes, spirits and beasts battled with each other in ancient times.
Generally, the Bear Festival was an inter-clan ceremony where a clan of wife-takers restored ties with a clan of wife-givers upon the broken link of the kinsman's death.
The Bear Festival was suppressed during Soviet occupation through the festival has had a modest revival since the decline of Soviet Union, albeit as a cultural instead of religious ceremony.
In the fish-rich Amur River estuary in the districts of Nixhne-Amruskii and Takhtinskii, winters have high winds and heavy snows with mid-winter usually averaging from .
The area's biome is characterized as Taiga and evergreen coniferous forests consisting of larch, yew, birch, maple, lilac, honeysuckle, and extensive low-lying swamp grasses.
Bears, foxes, sables, hares, Siberian tigers, elks, grouse, and deer typical near the Amur outlet which usually floods during the rainy season.
Winters are longer, with a mean temperature of , however, short summers are warmer averaging due to warmer Pacific Ocean currents moving around the island.
Barren tundra dominates the north, with sparse trees such as larch, birch and various grasses, while moving southward, spruce and fir are seen.
The Strait of Tartary is currently only wide and is shallow enough that the divide is covered by an ice bridge during the winter that can be traversed by foot or dog-sledge.
The Eurasia continent was connected to Sakhalin via the Strait of Tatar and Hokkaidō via the Soya Strait of which humans migrated.
The receding ice age warmed the area allowing greater tree cover and wildlife, thus new resources for the Nivkhs to exploit.
The opening of the Soya and then the shallower Strait of Tartary allowed warm pacific currents to bathe the island and the lower Amur River.
The dwelling was a round dugout about 7.5 meters (23 feet) in diameter, shored up by wooden poles and covered with packed dirt and grass.
Fish was the main source of food for the Nivkh, including pink, Pacific, and chum salmon as well as trout, Red Eye, burbot and pike found in rivers and streams.
Saltwater fishing provided saffron cod, flatfish, and marine goby caught in the littoral coasts of the Strait of Tartary, Sea of Okhotsk, and the Pacific Ocean, though over fishing by Russian and Japanese trawlers have depleted many of these fish stocks.
Additionally, industrial pollution such as phenols and heavy metals in the Amur River have devastated fish stocks and damaged the soil of the estuaries.
Contacts with the Chinese, Manchu, and Japanese from the 12th century on introduced new foods incorporated in the Nivkhs diet such as salt, sugar, rice, millet, legumes and tea.
They are set within a series of artificially-constructed universes, created and ruled by decadent beings who are genetically identical to humans, but regard themselves as superior, who are the inheritors of an advanced technology they no longer understand.
This consists of a single planet with a green sky, shaped in the form of a huge stepped pyramid on five stages, with each stage being a disk or squat cylinder.
A small sun and a single moon orbit around this planet (thus, in this universe Geocentrism is a correct description of astronomical reality).
The overall storyline of the series follows the adventures of two people from Earth who independently discover gates into the World of Tiers.
The earlier books focus on the character of Robert Wolff as he explores this world and tries to discover its secrets.
Although the main characters from the other books do not occur directly, this novel provides some background material on events and characters in the other novels.
This planet consists of a series of cylindrical layers stacked one atop the other, to form an enormous, approximately conical tower (albeit much broader than it is tall).
The top surfaces (levels or tiers) of each cylindrical monolith are densely inhabited, while the vertical sides of the monoliths act as enormous cliffs (30,000-100,000 feet / 9,000-30,000 metres high) which partially isolate the inhabitants of each tier from each other.
These cliffs do provide some purchase for climbing, and many specialized creatures live on the cliff surfaces, so this isolation is not complete.
There is no diminution of atmosphere from one level to the next, due to Jadawin's manipulation of the local gravitational fields.
The various inhabitants are immortal as far as physical aging is concerned, though they can be killed by most other means.
The exact dimensions of the monoliths are not stated, and so they must be inferred from hints in the novels, such as the quote above.
outer edge of the Amerind tier to the base of the monolith Abharhploonta is quoted as being 1500 miles (approximately 2400 km), while the surface area of the Amerind tier is quoted as being equal to that of North and South America combined (approximately 42 million square kilometers).
From this information it can be inferred that the outer radius of the Amerind tier (and hence the radius of the monolith Thayaphaeawoed) is approximately 4000 km.
The next tier down (Okeanos) consists of a circular ocean girdling the monolith Thayaphaeawoed, approximately 480 kilometers wide, and a circular beach and forest.
This disagrees with the quote above, since, in order to have a surface area equal to that of the water surface of Earth, the world of tiers would require a radius of approximately 10,700 km.
As one example, in the first novel of the series the monolith Idaquizzoorhruz is quoted as being 30,000 feet (approximately 10 km) tall, while in the third novel it is stated as being 100,000 feet (approximately 33 km) tall.
In any case, while the overall shape of the planet is a conical stepped pyramid, it is clearly much broader (several thousand kilometers) than it is tall (around 100 km).
If this refers to the moon's angular width, we can infer that the moon orbits Alofmethbin at a distance of approximately 300,000 km.
While inspecting a house to purchase and live in during retirement with his wife, a gate to the World of Tiers opens before him.
There he regains his youth and health, due to the effects of drugs in the water supply provided by the Lord Jadawin.
He meets and falls in love with Chryseis, and when she is kidnapped, he sets out to rescue her, ascending the various levels of the planet.
Paul Janus Finnegan was born in Indiana in 1918, and served in the American army during the Second World War, driving a tank.
In the ruins of a museum in a small German town, he discovered a metal crescent made of an apparently indestructible metal, and kept it as a souvenir.
This crescent proved to be one half of a gate to the World of Tiers, the other half belonging to a displaced Thoan who attempted to buy (and later, steal) the crescent from him.
Finnegan interrupted the Thoan in the middle of entering the gate and accidentally activated the completed gate himself, ending up transported to the World of Tiers.
At the start of the first novel in the series, Finnegan has lived on the World of Tiers for approximately twenty-four years.
In that time, he has learned many of the local languages, become extremely skilled at knife-throwing, archery, and other combat and outdoors survival skills, and lived under many assumed names and identities.
The body created for her by Jadawin is essentially human, except that her eyes are exceptionally large in proportion to her face (like a cat's eyes), her legs are exceptionally long, and her hair is tiger-striped.
She is driven out of her own universe by an ancient enemy that threatens to destroy all the Thoans, and takes refuge in the World of Tiers where she meets Kickaha.
She is initially arrogant and cruel, as most Thoans are, but is impressed by Kickaha's resourcefulness, and gradually becomes sympathetic and humane as she falls in love with him.
Podarge, a terrible and extremely dangerous harpy, whose fantastic winged body was created by Wolff during his former life as Lord Jadawin, and who was given the brain of an ancient Greek woman by Wolff/Jadawin, appears periodically as both an ally and foe in the World of Tiers series.
Podarge and her huge air armada of giant green eagles (and many of the individuals in it), often play pivotal parts in this story.
Wolff enters the World of Tiers, arriving on the Okeanos level, and over the space of a few months regains his youth thanks to chemicals in the water and food.
It is revealed that Wolff was actually the Lord, Jadawin, who created the World of Tiers, but that he was attacked by another Lord and marooned on Earth, where the shock of being in such primitive surroundings caused him to suffer amnesia.
Urizen has kidnapped Chryseis, and Wolff finds himself reunited with his brothers, sisters and cousins, all of whom must travel from one dangerous planet to another to escape.
He meets three dispossessed Lords (one of whom is Anana) who are fleeing an army led by the Black Bellers - artificial intelligences capable of taking over the bodies of human hosts.
It is revealed that the civilization of the Thoans, including their understanding of the scientific principles behind their advanced technology, was destroyed during the war with the Black Bellers ten thousand years before.
Since then the few remaining Black Bellers have been in hiding, waiting for an opportunity to rebuild their ranks and attempt to take over again.
It is revealed that Earth is itself an artificial world constructed to be an exact replica of the Thoan's home world during the stone age, and allowed to develop as a social experiment.
It is strongly implied that this is all an exact copy of the Thoans' homeworld universe and that Thoa is itself artificial, but this question is not explored in the later novels.
The remaining books in the series follow Kickaha and Anana as they travel to Earth to kill the final Black Beller.
The secret Lord of Earth, Red Orc, attempts to kill Kickaha and Anana despite their informing him that they simply want to kill the last Black Beller and will then leave peacefully.
Eventually they manage to kill the Black Beller, but wind up in a battle between Red Orc and another Lord called Urthona.
They are all gated to the Lavalite world, a planet that changes shape periodically like the wax in a lava lamp, and which was created by Urthona.
The final book of the series takes place fifteen years later, Anana and Kickaha having been directed into a trap universe by Red Orc.
They escape, but Kickaha is forced by Red Orc to go in search of an entrance to a universe he found ten thousand years earlier but has been unable to return to.
This universe contains the last remaining databanks that preserve the technology of the Thoans and Red Orc plans to use this technology to conquer all the artificial universes.
The story culminates with Kickaha defeating Red Orc in hand-to-hand combat, and returning to the World of Tiers to resume his adventuring trickster lifestyle.
The structure of the world of tiers, with a central mountain or tower which the sun passes behind at night is equivalent to early Babylonian and Egyptian cosmological theories.
The placement of the Lord's palace at the highest level of the world is reminiscent of the home of the gods atop Mount Olympus.
The moon of the world of tiers is modelled after Barsoom, from Edgar Rice Burroughs' novels, a homage which Farmer openly admits in the third book of the series.
By contrast, the character of Kickaha is a trickster, who avoids the affairs of the god-like Thoans wherever possible, and who survives and defeats his enemies by cunning, trickery and skill.
The central concept of the series is the existence of arrogant beings who possess awesome powers (as a result of technology) and use these powers to play the role of gods.
They are able to travel from place to place almost instantaneously by using gates to teleport from one location or universe to another.
This is extremely similar to several central concepts in the fictitious Stargate universe, although there is currently no suggestion that Stargate copied these ideas from the World of Tiers stories.
The overall setting: a family of feuding dimension hopping immortal lords, as well as the specific plot of the first book: wherein an amnesiac immortal lord must travel from Earth to another dimension to regain his powers, bears striking similarities to Roger Zelazny's Amber series.

The Third Division North of the Football League was a tier in the English football league system from 1921 to 1958.
It ran in parallel with the Third Division South with clubs elected to the League or relegated from a higher division allocated to one or the other according to geographical position.
Some clubs in the English Midlands shuttled between the Third Division North and the Third Division South according to the composition of the two leagues in any one season.
The Third Division South had been created in 1921 from the Third Division formed the previous year made up of 22 teams drawn mostly from the Southern League.
It was decided that this gave the Football League overall too much of a southern bias, so the Third Division North was created in 1921-22 to redress the balance.
Stockport County had finished bottom of the Second Division at the end of the 1920-21 season, and they were relegated into this new division, where they joined Grimsby Town who had spent a season in the Third Division after relegation from the Second Division in 1919-20.
As there was no Northern equivalent of the Southern League, the remaining 18 teams came from several regional leagues: the Midland League, the Central League, the North Eastern League, the Lancashire Combination and the Birmingham Combination.
The original 20 teams were: Stockport County, Darlington, Grimsby Town, Hartlepools, Accrington Stanley, Crewe Alexandra, Stalybridge Celtic, Walsall, Southport, Ashington, Durham City, Wrexham, Chesterfield, Lincoln City, Barrow, Nelson, Wigan Borough, Tranmere Rovers, Halifax Town and Rochdale.
The division was extended by a further two teams in 1923 to take the total to 22, and for the 1950-51 season the division was expanded to 24 clubs, with Scunthorpe United and Shrewsbury Town joining.
Only one promotion place was available each season from the Third Division North to the Second Division, which made it very difficult to win promotion.
Eight teams, Accrington Stanley, Barrow, Crewe Alexandra, Halifax Town, Hartlepool United, Rochdale, Southport and Wrexham, were ever-present in the division for the 30 years of its existence.
Its final season was 1957–58, after which the North and South sections were merged to form a single Third Division and the Fourth Division.
The top 12 clubs in Division Three North, except for the Champions Scunthorpe United, went into the new Third Division, and the bottom 12 clubs went into the Fourth Division.
From the 1954-55 season until the 1957-58 season, there was a series of games between teams representing the Third Division North and the Third Division South.
In computer and telecommunications networks, presence information is a status indicator that conveys ability and willingness of a potential communication partner—for example a user—to communicate.
Presence information has wide application in many communication services and is one of the innovations driving the popularity of instant messaging or recent implementations of voice over IP clients.
The most common use of presence today is to display an indicator icon on instant messaging clients, typically from a choice of graphic symbols with easy-to-convey meanings, and a list of corresponding text descriptions of each of the states.
Current standards support a rich choice of additional presence attributes that can be used for presence information, such as user mood, location, or free text status.
The most straightforward way of checking if the recipient is available is to walk to the desk, which requires the commitment of the walk regardless of the outcome and usually requires some interaction if the recipient is at the desk.
Presence gives the state of the recipient to the requester and the requester has the choice to interact with the recipient or use that information for non-interactive purposes (such as taking roll).
The idea that multiple communication devices can combine state, to provide an aggregated view of a user's presence has been termed Multiple Points of Presence (MPOP).
Extension to other devices could include whether the user's cell phone is on, whether they are logged into their computer, or perhaps checking their electronic calendar to see if they are in a meeting or on vacation.
A message directed to the user's ID would go to the resource with highest priority, although messaging a specific resource is possible by using the form user@domain/resource.
Presence is highly sensitive information and in non-trivial systems a presentity may define limits to which its presence information may be revealed to different watchers.
Presence, particularly MPOP, requires collaboration between a number of electronic devices (for example IM client, home phone, cell phone, and electronic calendar) and the presence services each of them are connected with.
To date, the most common and wide-scale implementations use closed systems, with a SPOP (Single Point of Presence, where a single device publishes state).
Some vendors have upgraded their services to automatically log out connected clients when a new login request reaches the server from a newly connecting different device.
For presence to universally work with MPOP support, multiple devices must be able to not only intercommunicate among each other, the status information must also be appropriately handled by all other interoperable, connected presence services and the MPOP scheme for their clients.
2.5G and, even more so, 3G cell phone networks can support management and access of presence information services for mobile users cell phone handsets.
Presence information allows you to instantly see who is available in your corporate network, giving more flexibility to set up short-term meetings and conference calls.
An example of the time-saving aspect of presence information is a driver with a GPS; he/she can be tracked and sent messages on upcoming traffic patterns that, in return, save time and money.
For example, when an employee is on his/her day off they are still connected to the network and have greater ability to be tracked down.
In 1999, a group called the Instant Message and Presence Protocol (IMPP) working group (WG), was formed within the Internet Engineering Task Force organization (IETF) in order to develop protocols and data formats for simple presence and instant messaging services.
Instead it issued a common profile for presence and instant messaging (CPP) which defined semantics for common services of presence to facilitate the creation of gateways between presence services.
In 2001, the SIMPLE working group was formed within IETF to develop a suite of CPP-compliant standards for presence and instant messaging applications over the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
The SIMPLE activity specifies extensions to the SIP protocol which deal with a publish and subscribe mechanism for presence information and sending instant messages.
At the end of 2001, Nokia, Motorola, and Ericsson formed the Wireless Village (WV) initiative to define a set of universal specifications for mobile Instant Messaging and Presence Services (IMPS) and presence services for wireless networks.
IMPS defines a system architecture, syntax, and semantics for representation of presence information and a set of protocols for the four primary features: presence, IM, groups, and shared content.
This IM protocol, which is a robust and widely extended protocol, is also the protocol used in the commercial implementation of Google Talk and Facebook Chat.
In October 2004, the XMPP working group at IETF published the documents RFC 3920, RFC 3921, RFC 3922 and RFC 3923, to standardize the core XMPP protocol.
The Third Division South of The Football League was a tier in the English football league system from 1921 to 1958.
It ran in parallel with the Third Division North with clubs elected to the League or relegated from Division Two allocated to one or the other according to geographical position.
Some clubs in the English Midlands shuttled between the Third Division South and the Third Division North according to the composition of the two leagues in any one season.
This division was created in 1921 from the Third Division, formed one year earlier when the Football League absorbed the leading clubs from the Southern League.
The Third Division South was formed from the original 22 teams in the Third Division, with the exceptions of Crystal Palace, who were promoted to the Second Division, Grimsby Town who were transferred to the Third Division North, and Aberdare Athletic and Charlton Athletic who joined The Football League for the first time.
Several Midlands-based teams were included in the Third Division South from time to time, although most were geographically closer to their Northern division rivals; Nottingham Forest and Notts County played in the Southern division although nearby Derby County spent time in the Northern division.
Only one promotion place was available each season from the Third Division South to the Second Division, which made it very difficult to win promotion.
Six teams, Brighton & Hove Albion, Exeter City, Northampton Town, Southend United, Swindon Town, and Watford, were ever-present in the division for the 30 years of its existence.
Of the teams that played in the Third Division South, Portsmouth, Ipswich Town, and Nottingham Forest were later English football champions.
Its final season was 1957–58, after which the North and South sections were merged to form a single Third Division and a new Fourth Division.
The top 12 clubs in Division Three South, except for the Champions Brighton & Hove Albion, went into the new Third Division, and the bottom 12 clubs went into the Fourth Division.
From the 1954–55 season until the 1957–58 season, there was a series of games between teams representing the Third Division North and the Third Division South.
However, it fumes profusely even in a relatively dry atmosphere (it has been used as a smoke agent) due to formation of a sulfuric acid mist.
Both the gamma and the beta forms are metastable, eventually converting to the stable alpha form if left standing for sufficient time.
Relative vapor pressures of solid SO are alpha < beta < gamma at identical temperatures, indicative of their relative molecular weights.
After being purified by electrostatic precipitation, the SO is then oxidised by atmospheric oxygen at between 400 and 600 °C over a catalyst.
The majority of sulfur trioxide made in this way is converted into sulfuric acid not by the direct addition of water, with which it forms a fine mist, but by absorption in concentrated sulfuric acid and dilution with water of the produced oleum.
Along with being a strong oxidizing agent, sulfur trioxide will cause serious burns on both inhalation and ingestion because it is highly corrosive and hygroscopic in nature.
It should also be kept away from organic material due to the strong dehydrating nature of sulfur trioxide and its ability to react violently with such materials.
She received many award nominations for her acting in theatre, film and television; her awards include three Bambi Awards, two Romys, an Adolf Grimme Award, both a Deutscher and a Bayerischer Fernsehpreis, and a Goldene Kamera.
She applied for the Max Reinhardt Seminar, a famous acting school in Vienna, and was accepted, but she left shortly afterwards after accepting a film role without permission.
In 1962, she went to Hollywood and worked with stars such as Charlton Heston, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Richard Widmark, John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, and Yul Brynner.
She returned to Germany to accept an offer for a role in a series, which would have brought an obligation of several years.
In 1963, Berger met Michael Verhoeven, son of the German film director Paul Verhoeven (not to be confused with the Netherlands Paul Verhoeven).
Filmed by Levy-Gardner-Laven and released by United Artists, it stars Tom Tryon, Harve Presnell, Senta Berger, James Caan, and Michael Anderson.
In 1970, Berger starred for the first time in a film produced by her own company and directed by her husband.
From 2003 to 2010, Berger was president of the German Film Academy, which seeks to advance the new generation of actors and actresses in Germany and Europe.
Among her memories of Hollywood are a less-than-subtle attempt by Darryl Zanuck to get her on his casting couch, and of all the shallow people she met in Hollywood.
Berger married German film director Michael Verhoeven in 1966; their sons are actor-director Simon Verhoeven (born 1972) and actor Luca Verhoeven (born 1979).
It comprised lands along the east bank of the Missouri River and added to the northwest corner of the state of Missouri.
This expansion of the slave state of Missouri was in violation of the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which prohibited the extension of slavery in the former Louisiana Territory north of the parallel 36°30′ north except within the boundaries of the state of Missouri as defined at the time of the adoption of the Missouri Compromise.
The area acquired was almost as large as the states of Delaware and Rhode Island combined, and extended Missouri westward along the river.
St. Joseph, one of the main ports of departure for the westward migration of American pioneers, was located in the new acquisition.
The region of the Platte Purchase includes the following modern counties within its bounds: Andrew (435 square miles, 1127 km), Atchison (545 square miles, 1412 km), Buchanan (410 square miles, 1062 km), Holt (462 square miles, 1197 km), Nodaway (877 square miles, 2271 km), and Platte (420 square miles, 1088 km).
It also includes the northwest suburbs of Kansas City, a small area of Kansas City proper, the cities of St. Joseph and Maryville, Missouri, as well as Kansas City International Airport and almost all of Missouri's portion of Interstate 29, save the small portion which runs concurrently with Interstate 35 in Clay County.
When Missouri entered the Union, its western border was established on the left bank of the Missouri River (the northern side as the river flows south) at the mouth of the Kaw River in what is now Kansas City (94 degrees, 36 minutes west longitude) (which is also the border between Missouri and Kansas south of the Missouri River).
This addition increased the land area of what was already the largest state in the Union at the time (about 66,500 square miles (172,000 km) to Virginia's 65,000 square miles, which then included West Virginia).
In less than a year after the Indian Removal Act, the Missouri General Assembly was petitioning Congress to more clearly define the border on the northwest corner of the state.
The Legislature noted the boundary was not clear, and that the land was not surveyed, thus leading to settlers encroaching on the lands.
The most spectacular example of encroachment was Joseph Robidoux who had been operating an American Fur Company trading post at St. Joseph, Missouri since 1826.
Dougherty agreed, noting that the territory was preventing access to Missouri River shipping by Missouri residents east of the purchase line.
The first tribes to give up their land were the Potawatomi, who gave up their land in the Treaty of Chicago, which was agreed to in 1833 but wasn't finalized until 1835.
The formal application came in the summer of 1835 when at a meeting on the Dawes farm near Liberty, Missouri, where the Indian agent for the Sac and Fox tribes, Andrew S. Hughes, presided over a meeting of Missouri residents who formally asked Congress to acquire the land.
Missouri senator Thomas Hart Benton introduced a bill to acquire the land and it was approved with little opposition in June 1836.
An agreement was reached in 1836 with the chiefs Mahaska and No Heart of the Ioway tribe and leaders of the combined Sac and Fox tribes in a ceremony at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas that was presided by William Clark, then the Superintendent of Indian Affairs and based in St. Louis.
In October 1837, the Missouri General Assembly accepted the land and placed it all initially in the newly created Platte County.
The tribes gave up 3.1 thousand square miles of land for a combined reservation of 29 square miles (26 for the Sac and Fox and 3 for the Ioway).
Michigan entered the union in January 1837 and so by the time the purchase was finalized Missouri remained the second biggest state.
Much of the land was dispensed as military land warrants to veterans of the War of 1812 (and later Mexican–American War).
Under the terms of the program, which was expanded in 1855, the 160-acre land grants could be given to military descendants and those grants could be sold.
Since the purchase opened up a new slave area, the area was heavily settled by slaveholders from Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky.
Today the Platte Purchase area is among the most rural areas in Missouri, with St. Joseph and Maryville, Missouri being the only communities totally within the purchase area with populations greater than 10,000, although Kansas City, Missouri has expanded its boundaries into southern Platte County.
The 25120 required a 6.3 VAC V (vacuum tube filament) supply, a +10 V (double the V of standard TTL logic of the day), and V of 0±2% volt (i.e.
Velvet Goldmine is a 1998 musical drama film written and directed by Todd Haynes from a story by Haynes and James Lyons.
It is set in Britain during the glam rock days of the early 1970s; it tells the story of a fictional pop star, Brian Slade.
The film was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival and won the award for the Best Artistic Contribution.
Sandy Powell received a BAFTA Award for Best Costume Design and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Costume Design.
Set in 1984, British journalist Arthur Stuart is writing an article about the withdrawal from public life of 1970s glam rock star Brian Slade, and is interviewing those who had a part in the entertainer's career.
As each person recalls their thoughts, it becomes the introduction of the vignette for that particular segment in Slade's personal and professional life.
Part of the story involves Stuart's family's reaction to his homosexuality, and how the gay and bisexual glam rock stars and music scene gave him the strength to come out.
Rock shows, fashion, and rock journalism all play a role in showing the youth culture of 1970s Britain, as well as the gay culture of the time.
But when he comes to the United States, he seeks out American rock star Curt Wild, and they become involved in each other's lives on a personal and creative level.
Eventually, Slade's career ends following the critical and fan backlash from his on-stage publicity stunt where he faked his own murder.
As he gets closer to the truth of where Slade is now, Stuart is suddenly told by his editor that the story is no longer of public interest, and Stuart has now been assigned to the Tommy Stone tour, which coincidentally is Brian Slade's new identity.
We discover Stuart was also at the concert where Slade faked his own death, and that after seeing Wild perform on another night, Wild and Stuart had a sexual encounter.
The film centers on Brian Slade, a sexually fluid and androgynous glam rock icon who was patterned after David Bowie, Jobriath and, to a lesser extent, Marc Bolan.
Bowie initially disapproved of the film and its many similarities with his life story, and threatened to sue, resulting in substantial rewrites to create more distance between the character and the real man.
Ewan McGregor co-stars in the role of Curt Wild, a genre-defying performer who doesn't back down from sex, nudity, or drugs on or off stage, and whose biographical details are based on Iggy Pop (who grew up in a trailer park) and Lou Reed (whose parents sent him to electroshock therapy to 'cure' his homosexual feelings).
Also featured are Christian Bale as the young glam rock fan and reporter, Arthur Stuart, and Toni Collette as Slade's wife, Mandy, who is based on Bowie's first wife, Angela.
Maxwell Demon was the name of an early band of Brian Eno, a long-time Bowie associate, whose music is heard at various points in the film.
Haynes has said that the story is also about the love affair between America and Britain, New York City and London, in the way each music scene feeds off and influences each other.
The film is strongly influenced by the ideas and life of Oscar Wilde (seen in the film as a progenitor of glam rock), and refers to events in his life and quotes his work on dozens of occasions.
The film opened in the United States on 6 November 1998 in 85 venues, earning $301,787 in its opening weekend and ranking sixteenth in the North American box office, and fifth among the week's new releases.
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 57% rating based on 44 reviews, with an average of 6.5/10.
A Blu-ray was released in Region A on 13 December 2011, and includes a newly recorded commentary track by Haynes and Vachon.
Although the character of Brian Slade is heavily based on David Bowie, Bowie himself disliked the script and vetoed the proposal that his songs appear in the film.
The English musicians who played under the name The Venus in Furs on the soundtrack were Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, David Gray Band's Clune, Suede's Bernard Butler, and Roxy Music's Andy Mackay.
The American musicians who played as Curt Wild's Wylde Ratttz on the soundtrack were The Stooges' Ron Asheton, Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Steve Shelley, Minutemen's Mike Watt, Gumball's Don Fleming, and Mark Arm of Mudhoney.
The soundtrack features new songs written for the film by Pulp, Shudder to Think and Grant Lee Buffalo, as well as many early glam rock compositions, both covers and original versions.
All three members of the band Placebo also appeared in the film, with Brian Molko and Steve Hewitt playing members of the Flaming Creatures (Malcolm and Billy respectively) and Stefan Olsdal playing Polly Small's bassist.
Another member of the Flaming Creatures, Pearl, was played by Xavior (Paul Wilkinson), former lead singer of Romo band DexDexTer and later a keyboard player for Placebo and Rachel Stamp.
Salvino D'Armato degli Armati of Florence (died 1317) is sometimes credited with the invention of eyeglasses, however this claim was shown to be a hoax.
In this book, del Migliore claimed to own a burial register of the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, which had recently been renovated.
Again, despite the lack of evidence, the historian Pasquale Villari (1827-1917) composed and had posted in Florence in 1855 a plaque honoring Salvino degli Armati as the inventor of eyeglasses.
Furthermore, between 1850 and 1900, a portrait head of Salvino degli Armati with a plaque containing his epitaph was mounted in the chapel of the Orlandini de Beccuto family of the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore.
Furthermore, Vasco Ronchi (1897-1988), an Italian physicist who specialized in optics, also published an article on the subject as did the American historian of science Edward Rosen (1906-1985) and the Italian professor of ophthamology Giuseppe Albertotti (1851-1936).
α-Carotene is a form of carotene with a β-ionone ring at one end and an α-ionone ring at the opposite end.
The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit is a 1956 American drama film based on the 1955 novel of the same name by Sloan Wilson.
The film focuses on Tom Rath, a young World War II veteran trying to balance his marriage and family life with the demands of a new job while dealing with the aftereffects of his war service.
The film stars Gregory Peck as Rath and Jennifer Jones as his wife Betsy, with Fredric March, Lee J. Cobb, Keenan Wynn and Marisa Pavan in supporting roles.
Ten years after the end of World War II, Tom Rath (Gregory Peck) is living in suburban Connecticut with his wife Betsy (Jennifer Jones) and three children; he's having difficulty supporting his family on his salary writing for a nonprofit organization.
Tom is also dealing with flashbacks from his combat service as an Army Captain in both the European and Pacific theaters, involving men that he killed (including, by accident, his best friend), and a young Italian girl named Maria (Marisa Pavan), with whom he had a brief but heartfelt affair in Italy despite his being in a relationship with Betsy at the time.
Before he left Maria for the final time to go back into battle, Tom was told that she was pregnant and was going to keep the baby.
When an expected inheritance from Tom's recently deceased grandmother turns out to have been depleted, leaving only her large and unsaleable mansion, Betsy pressures Tom to seek a higher-paying job.
Acting on a tip from a fellow train commuter, Tom applies for an opening in public relations at television network UBC.
Hopkins is powerful and highly respected, but unbeknownst to his employees, his workaholic habits have caused him to be estranged from his wife and his rebellious daughter, who soon elopes with an unsuitable man.
Tom is initially supervised by Bill Ogden (Henry Daniell), a micromanager and office politician who rejects Tom's drafts of an important Hopkins speech intended to launch the campaign, substituting his own draft consisting of what Ogden thinks Hopkins wants to hear.
Hopkins, who has just received the unwelcome news of his daughter's elopement, is receptive to Tom's criticism and thinks Tom resembles his own late son, who refused to accept an officer's commission in World War II and was subsequently killed in action as an enlisted man.
Judge Bernstein (Lee J. Cobb) intercedes and presents evidence that suggests that not only did Edward forge the bequest letter, but he also padded his bills, thus depleting the estate and accumulating a large fortune in the town's bank that he could not otherwise explain.
Caesar is married to Maria's cousin and tells Tom that Maria and her son by Tom are desperate for money in their still war-ravaged country.
Tom has kept his affair and child a secret from Betsy, but he now decides to tell her, remembering her admonition to be honest at all times.
That night, Hopkins calls to ask Tom to accompany him on a trip to California in support of the new campaign.
In mathematics, more specifically in multivariable calculus, the implicit function theorem is a tool that allows relations to be converted to functions of several real variables.
There may not be a single function whose graph can represent the entire relation, but there may be such a function on a restriction of the domain of the relation.
More precisely, given a system of equations (often abbreviated into ), the theorem states that, under a mild condition on the partial derivatives (with respect to the s) at a point, the variables are differentiable functions of the in some neighborhood of the point.
In other words, under a mild condition on the partial derivatives, the set of zeros of a system of equations is locally the graph of a function.
Ulisse Dini (1845–1918) generalized the real-variable version of the implicit function theorem to the context of functions of any number of real variables.
The purpose of the implicit function theorem is to tell us the existence of functions like formula_7 and formula_8, even in situations where we cannot write down explicit formulas.
Now we are looking for a solution to this ODE in an open interval around the point formula_31 for which, at every point in it, formula_42.
These functions allow us to calculate the new coordinates formula_55 of a point, given the point's old coordinates formula_54 using formula_59.
Based on the inverse function theorem in Banach spaces, it is possible to extend the implicit function theorem to Banach space valued mappings.
The Ford GT is an American mid-engine two-seater supercar manufactured and marketed by Ford for model year 2005 in conjunction with the company's 2003 centenary.
The GT recalls Ford's historically significant GT40, a consecutive four-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans (1966–1969), including a 1-2-3 finish in 1966.
Carroll Shelby, the original designer of the Shelby GT 500, was brought in by Ford to help develop the GT; which included performance testing of the prototype car.
The GT is similar in outward appearance to the original GT40, but is bigger, wider, and most importantly taller than the original's overall height; as a result, a potential name for the car was the GT44.
Although the cars are visually related, structurally, there is no similarity between the modern GT and the 1960s GT40 that inspired it.
Three pre-production cars were shown to the public in 2003 as part of Ford's centenary celebrations, and delivery of the production version called simply the Ford GT began in the fall of 2004.
When production of the continuation cars ended, they sold the excess parts, tooling, design, and trademark to a small Ohio based company called Safir GT40 Spares.
When Ford decided to put the GT40 concept to production stage, negotiations between the two firms failed, thus the production cars are simply called the GT.
The car began assembly at Mayflower Vehicle Systems in Norwalk, Ohio and was painted and continued assembly at Saleen Special Vehicles facility in Troy, Michigan, through contract by Ford.
Installation of the engine and transmission along with seats and interior finishing was handled in the SVT building at Ford's Wixom, Michigan plant.
Approximately 550 cars were built in 2004, nearly 1,900 in 2005, and just over 1,600 in 2006, for a grand total of 4,038 cars.
The final 11 car bodies manufactured by Mayflower Vehicle Systems were disassembled, and the frames and body panels were sold as service parts.
The first private sale of Ford's new mid-engine sports car was completed on August 4, 2004, when former Microsoft executive Jon Shirley took delivery of his Midnight Blue 2005 Ford GT.
A few other early cars sold for as much as a US$100,000 premium over the suggested retail price of $139,995 (Ford increased the MSRP to $2.5 million on July 1, 2005).
Optional equipment available included a McIntosh sound system, racing stripes, painted brake calipers, and forged alloy wheels adding $13,500 to the MSRP.
One of the show's presenters, Jeremy Clarkson, owned a GT and despite initially reserving high acclaim for the vehicle, ultimately requested a refund from Ford due to extensive problems with the car's aftermarket alarm system.
The DOHC 4 valves per cylinder heads are a revision of the 2000 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R cylinder heads (with slightly increased wall casting thickness in the exhaust port).
One modified version holds the record for fastest street legal vehicle (the vehicle used in the record run is street legal and registered for road use in the U.S.A) achieved by a highly modified twin turbo version of the original 5.4 V8 producing approximately 2500 hp with a top speed of 300.4 mph set in Texas in March 2019.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency mileage estimate for the GT is in city driving, and in highway cruising, for a combined .
The Ford GTX1 is an aftermarket roadster iteration of the Ford GT introduced by the company at the 2005 SEMA Show.
Kip Ewing, a development engineer who had been involved in the development of the GT and conceived the idea, supervised the project.
The resulting car had a chassis 10% less stiff than the standard GT but this did not impact the performance of the car.
Two roof pieces could be installed and removed when the roof bar was installed making the car a T-top, a canvas roof panel would be installed when the roof bar was removed.
The car received a positive response at the show and customers urged Ford to build this version of the GT but the end of the production of the GT in the forthcoming year meant that it would be expensive to produce another limited variant of the car.
The GTX1 was offered as a kit by the body shop adding US$38,000 to the price of a standard Ford GT.
A total of 100 orders for the GTX1 were received and completed over a two-year planned production period, these including the exact copies of the SEMA show car.
Other modifications on the GTX1 included race seats, a customized interior, new Wilwood brakes, a hidden rear bumper and a maximum power increase to .
The GTX1 was featured in various automotive publications along with several reviews, including that of famous motor journalist Jeremy Clarkson who had quoted that it was one of the best cars he had ever driven.
The car marked 50 years since the GT40 won the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans and competed successfully in the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans to better celebrate the anniversary, winning the LMGTE Pro class.
The engine shares many components with the F-150's 3.5 L V6 engine including the cylinder heads, block and dual fuel system.
Notable differences include larger turbochargers, an aluminum intake manifold, a custom dry sump lubrication system, unique camshafts and higher strength rotating and timing drive components.
Underpinning the GT is a carbon fiber monocoque bolted to aluminum front and rear subframes covered in carbon fiber body panels.
The windshield of the vehicle is made of Gorilla Glass manufactured by Corning, which is also used for manufacturing smartphone screens.
The Gorilla Glass is used to reduce the weight of the vehicle by allowing for a thinner windscreen with the same strength as a normal glass windscreen.
Production began in December 2016, with a planned production rate of one car per day (until October 2020) at Multimatic's low-volume assembly facility in Markham, Ontario, Canada.
The cars produced for the 2019 model year were primarily for buyers unsuccessful in the initial selection process, and the cars produced for the 2020 model year are for new customers.
It is not street legal and only 45 will be built and each costs $1.2 million being the most expensive new Ford ever.
The Ford GT1 is a racing version of the Ford GT developed by Matech Concepts to comply with FIA GT1 rules.
The official race debut of the Ford GT1 coincided with the kick-off of the 2009 FIA GT Championship season in Silverstone.
For the 2010 FIA GT1 World Championship season four cars were fielded by two teams: Matech Competition and Marc VDS Racing Team.
Three cars competed in the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans race, with two (the number 70 car run by the Marc VDS Racing Team and the number 61 car run by Matech Concepts) retiring early on.
For the 2011 FIA GT1 World Championship season, Matech left the series which left Marc VDS running the four cars during the season, two under the Marc VDS Racing Team name and the other two cars under the name of Belgian Racing.
The Ford GT GT3 is involved in numerous championships including the FIA GT3 European Championship, FIA GT1 World Championship, Blancpain Endurance Series, and others.
On 12 June 2015, at Le Mans, it was announced that Ford will return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2016 with a factory-supported, four-car effort operating as Ford Chip Ganassi Racing.
On June 19, 2016 the Number 68 Ford GT of Ford Chip Ganassi Racing finished first at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMGTE Pro class; the victory marked fifty years after Ford won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966, where they came first, second and third with the GT40.
In the 2016 6 Hours of Fuji and the 6 Hours of Shanghai, both the Ford GT's finished 1-2 at both races, the 67 winning both and the #66 coming second in both.
Two races later, on June 19, 2017 the Number 67 Ford GT of Ford Chip Ganassi Racing finished runner up at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMGTE Pro class; this time fifty years after the second Le Mans Race win in 1967.
It operated from – , parallel to Operation Reinhard during the most deadly phase of the Holocaust, and again from – during the Soviet counter-offensive.
At the very minimum, 152,000 people were killed in the camp, which would make it the fifth most deadly extermination camp, after Sobibór, Bełżec, Treblinka, and Auschwitz.
However, the West German prosecution, citing Nazi figures during the Chełmno trials of 1962–65, laid charges for at least 180,000 victims.
The Polish official estimates, in the early postwar period, have suggested much higher numbers, up to a total of 340,000 men, women, and children.
The gives the figure of around 200,000, the vast majority of whom were Jews of west-central Poland, along with Romani from the region, as well as foreign Jews from Hungary, Bohemia, Moravia, Germany, Luxembourg, and Austria transported to Chełmno via the Łódź Ghetto, on top of the Soviet prisoners of war.
Chełmno was a place of early experimentation in the development of Nazi extermination programme, continued in subsequent phases of the Holocaust throughout occupied Poland.
One of the camp survivors, who was fifteen years old at the time, testified that only three Jewish males had escaped successfully.
In October 1941, Lange toured the area looking for a suitable site for an extermination centre, and chose Chełmno on the Ner, because of the estate, with a large manor house similar to Sonnenstein, which could be used for mass admissions of prisoners with only minor modifications.
Staff for the facility was selected personally by Ernst Damzog, Commander of Security Police and SD from headquarters in occupied Poznań (Posen).
Greiser and the SS decided to create space for the incoming Jews by annihilating the existing Polish-Jewish population in his district.
The killing center consisted of a vacated manorial estate in the village of Chełmno on the Ner river, and a large forest clearing about northwest of Chełmno, off the road to Koło town with a sizable Jewish population which had been previously ghettoized.
Its rooms were adapted to use as the reception offices, including space for the victims to undress and to give up their valuables.
Later on, Lange was given three gas vans by the RSHA in Berlin for the killing of greater numbers of victims.
The vehicles had been converted to mobile gas-chambers by the Gaubschat company () in Berlin which, by June 1942, produced twenty of them in accordance with the SS purchase order.
The sealed compartments (also called superstructures) installed on the chassis had floor openings – about in diameter – with metal pipes welded below, into which the engine exhaust was directed.
The exhaust gases causing death by asphyxia were tested by a chemist from the mass murder operation Action T4 to make sure they contained large enough amounts of carbon monoxide (or 1% concentration), to form carboxyhaemoglobin, a deadly blood agent, in combining with haemoglobin in the cells.
The SS had first used pure carbon monoxide from steel cylinders to kill mental patients in extermination hospitals of Action T4, and therefore had considerable knowledge of its efficacy.
In the newly occupied territories, the gas vans were used to kill mental patients as well as Jews in the extermination ghettos.
The maximum strength of each Special Detachment was just under 100 men, of whom around 80 belonged to the Order Police.
The first people transported to the camp were the Jewish and Romani populations of Koło, Dąbie, Sompolno, Kłodawa, Babiak, Izbica Kujawska, Bugaj, Nowiny Brdowskie and Kowale Pańskie.
Using whips, the Orpo police marched them toward the Warta river near Zawadka, where they were locked overnight in a mill, without food or water.
In addition, they included over 10,000 Jews from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, Moravia and Luxembourg, who had first been deported to the ghetto in Łódź and subsided there already for weeks.
They were told that all hidden banknotes would be destroyed during steaming and needed to be taken out and handed over for safe-keeping.
Occasionally they were met by a German officer dressed as a local squire with a Tyrolean hat, announcing that some of them would remain there.
As round-ups in Łódź normally took place in the morning, it was usually late afternoon by the time Jews disembarked from the Holocaust trains in Powiercie.
The following morning the Jews were transported from Zawadki by truck, in numbers which could be easily controlled at their destination.
Beginning in late July 1942, the victims were brought to the camp directly from Powiercie after the regular railway line linking Koło with Dąbie was restored; and the bridge over the Rgilewka River had been repaired.
The large trenches were quickly filled, but the smell of decomposing bodies began to permeate the surrounding countryside including nearby villages.
The bodies were cremated on open air grids constructed of concrete slabs and rail tracks; pipes were used for air ducts, and long ash pans were built below the grid.
By then, Jews had also been deported to Łódź from Germany, Bohemia-Moravia, and Luxembourg, and were included in the transports at that time.
Soon after that, the Saurer van exploded while the driver was revving its engine at the loading ramp; the gassing compartment was full of living Jews.
There is evidence that some red powder and a fluid were delivered from Germany by Maks Sado freight company, in order to kill the victims more quickly.
These were transported every night in sacks made of blankets to river Warta (or to the Ner River) on the other side of Zawadka, where they were dumped into the water from a bridge and from a flat-bottomed boat.
First, the victims were taken to the desecrated church in Chełmno where they spent the night if necessary, and left their bundles behind on the way to the reception area.
The remaining Jewish workers were executed just before the German retreat from the Chełmno killing center on January 18, 1945, as the Soviet army approached (it reached the camp two days later).
The 15-year-old Jewish prisoner Simon Srebnik was the only one to survive the last executions with a gunshot wound to the head.
Note: a 1946–47 report by the Central Commission for Investigation of German Crimes in Poland (IPN) placed the number closer to 340,000 based on a statistical approach, as the camp authorities had destroyed all waybills in an effort to hide their actions.
After the war, some Chełmno extermination camp personnel were tried in Poland as well as in other court cases spanning a period of about 20 years.
One survivor may not have been recorded in the early postwar years because he did not testify at trials of camp personnel.
Five escaped during the winter of 1942, including Mordechaï Podchlebnik, Milnak Meyer, Abraham Tauber, Abram Roj and Szlama Ber Winer (Szlamek Bajler) whose identity was recognized also as Yakov or Jacob Grojanowski.
In June 1945, both Podchlebnik and Srebnik (then age fifteen), testified at the Chełmno trials of camp personnel in Łódź, Poland.
Two other survivors of Chełmno include Yitzhak Justman and Yerachmiel Yisrael Widawski who escaped together from the forest burial commando in the winter of 1942.
Widawski spoke with Rabbi Lau as well as some members of the prewar Communal Council before he left the ghetto, robbing them of their peace of mind with earth-shattering facts about the extermination process.
They headed in various directions and made a tremendous effort to inform and warn the Jewish communities about the fate that awaited them, however, many people refused to believe their stories.
The main goal in the game is to retrieve ship parts by using the three varieties of Pikmin available in different combinations.
All three of the Pikmin colors that Olimar discovers must be used in order to overcome various obstacles and complete the game.
Red Pikmin are the first type found in the game, and more powerful than the other two varieties and resistant to fire.
With the exception of the first day, which lasts until the player finds the first ship part, all days in the game are about thirteen minutes in length.
By the end of each day, all Pikmin should be immediately rounded up, work halted, and Olimar must return with the Pikmin to the ship (except for those idle in the landing area).
The reason for this is that many of the creatures inhabiting the Pikmin's planet are nocturnal predators and eat all unattended Pikmin on the surface after the sun sets.
If Olimar does not collect all twenty five mandatory ship parts within the 30-day time limit, his ship's life support system will fail and Olimar will die from oxygen poisoning.
When he regains consciousness, Olimar finds out that the planet's atmosphere contains high levels of poisonous oxygen and he can stay on the planet for only thirty days before his life support system stops functioning.
Although Olimar initially states in his journal entries that he needs all thirty parts, as the game progresses, it is hinted that some parts might not be needed to actually lift off and, indeed, one can successfully complete the game with only 25 parts rather then all 30.
To help Olimar are indigenous creatures called Pikmin, which are nearly extinct and unable to survive in the environment without direct leadership.
Two good endings occur should the player retrieve all thirty parts or twenty-five necessary parts, and a bad ending occurs should the player fail to find twenty-five parts.
There were originally suspicions that he may have been referring to the re-releases of the two games, but it was confirmed in an interview that he was talking about a completely new game.
It was released on December 25, 2008 in Japan, February 6, 2009 in Europe and March 9, 2009 in North America (original version only).
It was also announced that the game saves day-by-day records of the player's playthrough, allowing the player to restart from any recorded day of his or her choice.
In an interview, director Shigefumi Hino stated that besides adding motion controls, they wanted to include the ability to go back to saves they have made in the past, allowing players to replay all 30 days one by one in order to improve.
The game was released on July 13, 2013 in Japan, July 26, 2013 in Europe, July 27, 2013 in Australia, and August 4, 2013 in North America.
The term means to earn an honest, pure and dedicated living by exercising one's God-given skills, abilities, talents and hard labour for the benefit and improvement of the individual, their family and society at large.
This means to work with determination and focus by the sweat of one's brow and not to be lazy and to waste one's life to time.
There are some jobs which aren't allowed in Sikhism, such as a worker in brothels, prostitute, fortune-teller, astrologer, worker in taverns and pubs, worker in places were gambling is dealt, and many more.
Some of these peers were granted a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom which gave them an hereditary seat in the House of Lords.
It was the British Columbia branch of the Western Canada Concept, a political party that operated at the federal level, advocating the separation of the four western provinces of Canada and the formation of a new country comprising British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
In the October 22, 1986 election, the party nominated one candidate, who won 322 votes, or 0.02% of the popular vote.
In the October 17, 1991 election, the party nominated five candidates, who collected 651 votes, or 0.04% of the popular vote.
In the May 17, 2005 election, the party nominated two candidates, who collected a total of 374 votes, 0.02% of the popular vote.
Officials in these parties have distanced themselves from Christie - for example, they do not include links to the WCC or WBP on their websites even though the SPA and WIPS do link to one another.
He was born on August 2, 1955, in Manhattan, one of three sons born to Beat Generation figure Lucien Carr and Francesca Von Hartz.
Lucien's close circle of friends included William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, and Allen Ginsberg, whom Lucien had known since his college days.
Carr received his primary education from St. Luke’s School in Greenwich Village and his secondary education from Friends Seminary, also in downtown New York City.
He attended Kenyon College, in Gambier, Ohio, from 1973 to 1975 and returned to New York City in 1975 to complete his education at New York University, where, in 1977, he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts in Military and Diplomatic History.
Lucien's parents separated when he was five, and the balance of his childhood was spent in St. Louis, where both the elder Carrs, Russell and Marion, had been born to socially prominent families.
Lucien had left University of Chicago after a suicide attempt, which he tried to pass off as a piece of performance art, and enrolled at Columbia University.
Kammerer followed him and took up residence in the West Village, not far from where his friend William Burroughs was by then living.
He was charged with second degree murder, pleaded guilty to first degree manslaughter, and was sentenced to one-to-twenty years in prison, with a recommendation from the judge for psychiatric treatment.
From 1946 until his retirement in 1993, Carr rose steadily through the ranks from copy boy to manager of the world news desk.
The physical and verbal abuse fueled by alcohol and rage didn't stop even after Caleb's parents divorced when he was eight.
After the Carrs' divorce Kerouac proposed marriage to Caleb's mother, but she turned him down and afterwards married writer John Speicher.
They spent most summers at a house in upstate New York, originally bought by Carr’s maternal grandparents, then owned by his mother.
Carr first went to work for The Council of Foreign Relations after high school as a library assistant, and rose during his college year summers (and a semester off) to research assistant.
During this period, he published his first nationally noticed broadside: a long indictment, published on the letters page of the New York Times, of Henry Kissinger’s foreign policy.
This assisted noted historian and expert on U.S. foreign policy James Chace in helping Carr, after he left New York University, to get a job as a researcher and editorial assistant for the Foreign Affairs Quarterly, where Chace was managing editor.
It has a few good scenes, but is essentially ‘roman a clef’ nonsense that every writer has to get out of his system early on.
Winner of the 1995 Anthony Award for best first novel (although technically it was his second), the book, set in 1896 New York City follows the exploits of a small band of individuals determined to catch a serial killer.
Carr’s lifelong interest in violence, which initially fed his study of military history, expanded into a study of serial killers with the advent of the Son of Sam murders of 1976–1977.
Consulted by Paramount TV as to what could be done to salvage the pilot, Carr told Paramount that, if left to work on his own with the assistant editor, he could produce a new cut of the show for a television movie that would at least be moderately successful, especially abroad.
But when Frankenheimer suddenly died and was replaced by Paul Schrader, who insisted on his own version of the script, Neeson abandoned the project and Carr, deeply disillusioned, returned to New York for the last time.
Shortly after its publication, he testified before the House Subcommittee on National Security, met privately with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to discuss the future of the war on terrorism, and served as a guest speaker on every major network and many cable news outlets during the American invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
One council member was told there was a scheduling conflict; others alleged not enough members signed up; yet Carr believed the real reason was due to his criticisms of Henry Kissinger, who was a member of the council.
He furthered his relationship with Bard as a Visiting Professor of History from 2004 to 2005 teaching courses ranging from World Military History to the History of American Intelligence to the History of Insurgencies and Counter Insurgencies.
In 2007, he again participated in the Bard Globalization and International Affairs Program’s Speakers Series speaking on the topic of anticipating counter insurgency in Iraq.
On September 10, 2002, Carr participated in the Bard’s Globalization and International Affairs Program panel discussions to mark the events of September 11, 2001, discussing the repercussions of the attacks on the World Trade Center, Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon.
The fictional kingdom of Broken occupies the part of modern Germany known as the Harz Mountains, in particular the mountain peak known in as Brocken, which for centuries had been considered the seat of supernatural doings, because, Carr demonstrates, of the ignorance and superstition of man.
In response to the continued threats from ISIS near the end of 2015 and early in 2016, for example, Carr published a quartet of essays embodying once again his roots as a noted military scholar.
In the '80s Carr pursued his career as a scholar and journalist; he spent his nights working in the theater directing both repertory works as well as productions of his own plays.
Carr has lived the majority of his life on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, spending his summers and many weekends at his family's home in Cherry Plain, New York.
In 2000, he purchased his own property, known as Misery Mountain, in Cherry Plain; and in 2006 he moved there permanently.
Hed PE (also known as (hed) Planet Earth and stylized as (həd) or as (Hed)pe or (Hed)PE) is an American rock band from Huntington Beach, California.
Hed PE signed with Jive Records, releasing their self-titled debut album in 1997 The rampageous cover art drawn up by the band’s turntablist – DJ Product@1969It was a very ‘hurry up’ and rushed [piece] because of a deadline from the label [for the artwork] to be turned in.” it was done with pressure of the band and label.
I had maybe 24hrs to get something done, otherwise they were gonna use some stock image from the art director at Jive.”..
Due to the label's contractual terms and the disappointing sales of the album, the band found themselves unable to repay the cash advances given to them by Jive.
The album was intended as a return to the basics of rock music, and did not rely as heavily on studio enhancement as previous releases.
Towards the end of 2013, DJ Product mysteriously left the band with no explanation and no comment from the other members.
On May 13, 2014, On the band's official Facebook page, they released the official announcement of when the band's new album Evolution will hit stores.
Hed PE's music is a fusion of styles ranging from hip hop, reggae, and ska to hard rock, punk, and heavy metal.
The band's lyrics draw from a number of subjects, including social justice, the existence of extraterrestrial life, criticism of organized religion, the 9/11 Truth movement, cannabis use and sexual intercourse.
Gomes, in addition to the 9/11 Truth movement, has expressed support for social liberal politicians such as Nancy Pelosi and president Barack Obama.
Tradition holds that he was a stonemason by trade who came from the island of Arba (today Rab), on the other side of the Adriatic Sea (in what is now part of modern-day Croatia, then part of the Roman Empire), fleeing persecution for his Christian beliefs in the Diocletianic Persecution.
of the sea), he became a Deacon, and was ordained by Gaudentius, the Bishop of Rimini; later, he was recognised and accused by an insane woman of being her estranged husband, so he quickly fled to Monte Titano to build a chapel-monastery and live as a hermit.
Another version of the story says that he began preaching to Christian slaves at Rimini, but soon became distracted from the evil of the world.
As Marinus's reputation for his sanctity grew, others started to follow him there, until finally a lady from Rimini and the owner of Mount Titano decided to gift him the mountain.
Marinus was canonised as a saint, and later, the State of San Marino grew up from the centre created by the monastery.
His feast day/memorial day is 3 September, commemorating the day, in 301, when he founded what became known as San Marino, which is also the state's national holiday.
This affirmation of freedom (first and foremost fiscal franchise) from both the Empire and the Papal States, however legendary, has always been the inspiration of the tiny republic.
Although its name is similar to the defunct Reform Party of Canada, the provincial party was founded before the federal party was and it did not have any formal association with it.
The party's first candidates ran in the 1991 provincial election, when four candidates stood in the 75 ridings, receiving 2,673 votes, or 0.18% of the popular vote.
In the May 28, 1996 election, the party nominated candidates in all of the province’s 75 ridings, and collected 146,734 votes (9.27% of the popular vote).
Many blamed Reform for splitting the right wing vote and helping the New Democratic Party of British Columbia under Glen Clark get re-elected.
Richard Neufeld crossed to the BC Liberals, and became a provincial cabinet minister before being appointed to the Canadian Senate on the recommendation of Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2008.
Following Hanni's resignation, at the November 12–13, 1999 leadership convention, former Social Credit premier Bill Vander Zalm was acclaimed as leader of the party.
Vander Zalm attempted to orchestrate a merger of Reform with other right-wing parties, but ran into stiff opposition from a centrist old guard.
At the time, they were in second place in the polls, with a one percentage point lead over the NDP, and had been in second place for the previous year.
In the 2001 provincial election, the Reform Party nominated eight candidates, receiving a total of 3,008 votes (0.22% of the total vote).
In five ridings, Reform received over 2% of the vote, its best result being in Surrey-Green Timbers, where the party won 3.5% of the vote.
The party nominated one candidate to contest the 2005 election: Ron Gamble won 344 votes (1.76% of the total) in North Vancouver-Lonsdale.
Together with the Khanty people, the Mansi are politically represented by the Association to Save Yugra, an organisation founded during Perestroika of the late 1980s.
The Mansi have been in contact with the Russian state at least since the 16th century when most of western Siberia was brought under Russian control by Yermak Timofeyevich.
Due to their higher exposure to Russian and Soviet control, they are generally more assimilated than their northern neighbours, the Khanty.
The Mansi are said in legends to have ridden moose (Eurasian Elk) into battle, though there is no historical evidence of this.
It has been recorded by many Irish singers and groups, notably John McCormack, The Clancy Brothers, The Dubliners, The Wolfe Tones (a group with Republican leanings) in 1972, the Poxy Boggards, and The Irish Tenors (John McDermott, Ronan Tynan, Anthony Kearns) and Sean Conway for a 2007 single.
The lyrics use a simple ABABCDCD rhyme scheme, with verses of eight lines, and alternating lines of iambic tetrameter and iambic trimeter.
Davis describes how he learned of ancient fighters for freedom as a boy — the three hundred Spartans who fought at the Battle of Thermopylae.
Davis mentions his belief that only moral, religious men could set Ireland free, and his own aims to make himself worthy of such a task.
She was a descendant of Poseidon, who, making love to Periboea, begot Nausithous, who in turn had two sons, Rhexenor, her father and Alcinous, her uncle and later on, her husband.
The Colchians arrived soon after in pursuit of Medea and demanded to take her back to face punishment for the death of her father, Aeëtes.
Midtown Madness (also known as Midtown Madness: Chicago Edition) is a 1999 racing game developed by Angel Studios and published by Microsoft for Microsoft Windows.
Players can explore the city via one of several modes, and can determine the weather and traffic conditions for each race.
The Checkpoint mode combines the features of Blitz and Circuit has the player race against other cars to a destination—but also adds the complication of other traffic, such as police cars and pedestrians.
Environmental conditions that traverse all modes include weather (sunny, rainy, cloudy, and snowy), time of day (sunrise, afternoon, sunset, and night-time), and the density of pedestrians, traffic, and police vehicles.
Players start off with 5 vehicles, and 5 more are unlockable; the vehicles available range from a Volkswagen New Beetle and a Ford F-350 to a city bus and a Freightliner Century truck.
If the player has previously won a certain race mission, they can change the race's duration and the weather when replaying it.
The streets feature a number of objects into which the player can crash, including trash bins, parking meters, mailboxes, and traffic lights.
Multiplayer mode includes a Cops and Robbers mode, a capture the flag-style game in which players form two teams and each team tries to steal the opposing team's cache of gold and return it to their own hideout.
According to project director Clinton Keith, the concept behind the game came to two Microsoft employees during an attempt to cross a crowded street in Paris.
Angel Studios (after deciding against rendering pedestrians in two dimensions) developed 3D pedestrian models that could run and jump out of the way.
A demo version was released for download on May 1, 1999; It featured three vehicles (a Mustang, a Panoz Roadster, and a bus), and all driving modes except circuit.
In December 1999, Angel Studios reported that they were considering a race designer for players, but ultimately this feature was not added.
A drill instructor is a non-commissioned officer in the armed forces or police forces with specific duties that vary by country.
The instruction and indoctrination given by the drill instructors of the various U.S. military branches includes instruction in customs and practices of military life, physical fitness, instruction in the proper execution of military drill, instilling discipline and willingness to immediately obey all lawful orders given by superiors, and oftentimes, basic armed and unarmed combat training.
Each recruit platoon is commanded by Recruit Instructors usually consisting of a Lieutenant, a Sergeant and up to four instructors of the Corporal or Bombardier rank.
A Recruit Instructor can be identified by a 1st Recruit Training Battalion colour patch on his or her slouch hat and a small Recruit Instructor badge worn on the right breast pocket, if the position has been held long enough.
In the Royal Australian Navy, there are Instructors at HMAS Cerberus, where the Recruit School course is held, and HMAS Creswell, where the NEOC (New Entry Officer Course) is held, as well as at ADFA.
The AFP is the only police agency to formally train and accredit police drill instructors in Australia, with a number of New South Wales Police Force members attached to the NSW Police College holding that qualification.
The College Sergeant carries a black pace stick as a badge of office at ceremonial functions and a swagger stick during normal duties.
The New South Wales Police Force has a Drill Sergeant and a Drill Constable attached to the NSW Police College at Goulburn.
The Senior Protocol Officer (formally known as Protocol and Discipline Officer) which carries the rank of Senior Sergeant is responsible for the coordination of the final week of drill, known as Attestation Week and holds the position of Parade Sergeant at all Attestation Parades.
The Senior Protocol officer is responsible for dress, bearing and discipline and also is the guardian of NSWPF history, customs, traditions and symbols at the NSW Police College.
The Senior Protocol Officer carries a black pace stick with silver fittings and wears a black coloured Hellweg Brand Sam Browne belt with strap as a badge of office.
The Western Australian Police Force has a Drill Sergeant of the rank of sergeant who trains recruits in drill, discipline and other matters.
In the British Army, the appointment of Drill Sergeant (DSgt) is limited to the five Foot Guards regiments, the Honourable Artillery Company (HAC), Infantry Training Centre Catterick, London District, and the All-Arms Drill Wing (part of the Army School of Ceremonial, Catterick).
There are two Drill Sergeants per battalion (one in the HAC) and they have specific responsibilities for all duties, public or battalion (royal duties, barrack duties etc.).
They support the Garrison Sergeant Major (GSM) or Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) in the formation, practice and execution of these duties, typically running the duties roster, supervising rehearsals, and undertaking the guard mounts, both royal and barrack.
The London District Drill Sergeant supports the GSM in the supervision of Trooping the Colour, the State Opening of Parliament, Beating the Retreat and any state visits.
They have the right to wear Sam Browne belts when in No.2 dress and carry swords (never drawn) on ceremonial duties.
They are the third most senior Warrant Officers within a regimental structure, after the RSM and the Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant (RQMS).
Drill instructors are held responsible for the welfare, behavior, and military education of the recruits assigned to them on a 24-hour basis throughout the period of initial training, of which the most well known is Basic Training or boot camp.
The title of Drill Instructor is a billet independent of rank, to be held by Non-Commissioned Officers who successfully complete the intense training program to earn that title.
The arduous nature of drill instructor duty means that such assignments are among the most prestigious carried out by enlisted personnel.
Those who become drill instructors are eligible for a variety of military awards, such as the Marine Drill Instructor Ribbon, and the Army's Drill Sergeant Identification Badge.
At Officer Candidates School (OCS), candidates are instructed by Drill Instructors who have already served a tour at one of the Recruit Depots.
In the initial phase of training, officer candidates are trained in almost the same manner, and by the same people, as enlisted Marines, with slight differences reflecting the difference between the responsibilities the candidates will have as second lieutenants and those the recruits will have as junior Marines.
In addition, Drill Instructors at either E-6 or E-7 also train naval officer candidates at the Navy's Officer Candidate School at Officer Training Command Newport, Rhode Island, a holdover from the days when they trained prospective naval aviators at the former Aviation Officer Candidate School (AOCS) at Naval Aviation Schools Command, Pensacola, FL.
Class Drill Instructors train officer candidates alongside Class Chief Petty Officers who have experience training Navy recruits as Recruit Division Commanders (RDCs).
Once a Marine's name comes up on this list, they must either serve the duty or prove that they are unfit for the assignment.
Marines report to either Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island in South Carolina or to Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego in California, where they are assigned to Drill Instructor School.
A Marine assigned to DI School must have at least a rank of Sergeant (E-5), or have been selected for promotion to Sergeant.
The typical training day begins around 4:00 a.m. (0400 military time) and ends around 7:30 p.m. (1930), many times with specific training evaluations and end-of-day cleanups that require even longer days.
At the end of each day, DI School students have to practice effective time management in studying for exams, practicing drill, rehearsing the teaching of drill movements verbatim and preparing uniforms all while still making time for intense physical training.
Physical training also prepares the future Drill Instructors for the Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test which consists of pull-ups, abdominal crunches, and a 3-mile timed run.
Since a drill instructor is often required to spend 20 hours a day or more on his or her feet and to move fast at all times, various running sessions are conducted to enhance speed and endurance.
Students are led by their squad instructors in ability group runs based on speed, gradually increasing distance and speed throughout the course.
Every student is continuously evaluated, corrected, and mentored, with special attention paid to the smallest of details, such as the placement of a finger within 1/4 inch of its required location along a trouser seam, angle of the weapon, and positioning of the student in relation to the unit.
The drill instructor is expected to convey the best possible Marine Corps image to recruits and to America and to conduct his/herself to the highest Marine Corps leadership and integrity standards as well as to impart these standards to every recruit they train.
It is his or her duty to command the recruit platoon for initial drill evaluation, in which, in addition to the platoon receiving a score, the Drill Instructor is evaluated as well.
These new drill instructors bear the burden of responsibility for breaking down a recruit's sense of self and selfishness, so that the more experienced drill instructors can focus the recruits on selflessness, obedience, and fraternity.
Senior Drill Instructors hold a respected position which is distinguished by the wearing of a black highly polished (patent leather) sword belt instead of a green duty belt.
A Senior Drill Instructor is ultimately accountable for the training of the platoon and for the efficiency of his or her assistant Drill Instructors.
Although Senior Drill Instructors are NCOs (Sergeants) or Staff NCOs, their position in the recruit training platoon is similar to that of a commissioned officer Platoon Commander in a line platoon.
Such assignments are referred to as quotas, and include jobs as academic instructors, administrative duties at Recruit Processing (Receiving Barracks, also known as Receiving Company at MCRD San Diego), martial arts instructors, Medical Rehabilitation Platoon (MRP), Physical Conditioning Platoon (PCP), Combat Water Survival Instructors, Field Training Instructors (a.k.a.
These volunteers still report to Drill Instructor School, but are referred to as course challengers, and are only required to complete a short refresher course.
Multiple tour drill instructors, based on rank and experience, are usually assigned as Senior Drill Instructors, Series Chief Drill Instructors (MCRD San Diego) or Series Gunnery Sergeants (MCRD Parris Island), DI school instructors, Company First Sergeants, or Battalion Sergeants Major.
While in Drill Instructor status, both male and female DIs wear a World War I campaign hat with their service and utility uniforms.
This award is also given to other enlisted Marines and officers assigned to the recruit training environment, although these billets are recognized as being less directly involved in actually training recruits such as Series and Company Commander/ XO, Battalion Executive Officer, S-3, and Commander, and various levels of Sergeants Major at each Depot.
Historically, the task of the Drill Sergeant has been intrinsic to good order and discipline and commands respect throughout the Army.
Currently, soldiers of appropriate rank (usually Staff Sergeants and Sergeants First Class ) may volunteer or be centrally selected by U.S. Army Human Resources Command to attend Drill Sergeant School.
Drill Sergeant School is ten weeks long and consists of exactly the same activities as basic training; drill and ceremony, basic rifle marksmanship, obstacle/confidence courses, and field training exercises, training management, and leadership.
Drill Sergeant candidates are held to the highest standards while going through the school as preparation for their tours of duty.
OSUT Drill Sergeants train recruits for an equivalent of BCT plus an additional number of weeks depending on the Military Occupational Specialty, so their average number of cycles is less than that of a BCT Drill Sergeant.
It is not unusual for a cycle to graduate on a Thursday or Friday with new recruits arriving the following Monday or Tuesday.
Following several years of regular noncomissioned officers filling platoon sergeant billets in Advanced Individual Training, the Army announced in early April 2018, that Drill Sergeants will return to AIT training.
Senior Drill Sergeants are the most senior NCO in a given training platoon, and are ultimately responsible for Soldiers within or under their authority.
The only NCO more senior to these individuals at the company level is the company's First Sergeant, the senior enlisted leader and advisor to the company commander.
The Army has had a difficult time recruiting Drill Sergeant volunteers due to recent changes in doctrine and policy, with a recent study by the Department of Defense noting that fewer than 30% of Drill Sergeant candidates are volunteers.
Due to this, and also in part to the second and third order effects of this policy on the operational force, many NCOs feel disenchanted with the prospect of life on the trail and feel that their leadership abilities are better suited elsewhere.
DSL's are selected very carefully by a panel of current senior Drill Sergeant Leaders, along with the leadership from the Academy.
DSL's are held to the same high Army standards that new incoming Drill Sergeants are assessed on and must remain at those standards while instructing at the Academy.
In the United States Navy, recruit training is conducted by Recruit Division Commanders (RDCs, formerly Company Commanders or CCs) at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes, located at Naval Station Great Lakes, in North Chicago, IL.
RDCs are usually E-6 (Petty Officer First Class), but may be up to a Master Chief (E-9) and have at least six years time in service and above, who are volunteers that serve a three-year tour at RTC Great Lakes.
RDC School students typically spend thirteen weeks learning about the duties they will perform as RDCs, including drill and ceremony, classroom instruction, and uniform and compartment maintenance.
Because of the intense workout periods, some RDC students find themselves unprepared; however, they must be ready to keep up with the recruits, some of them who are much younger or more athletic than they are.
RDC duty is considered a highly prestigious one as it is associated with higher levels of accession into the higher petty officer rates, including Chief Petty Officer.
At the end of the three-year tour, eligible RDCs receive the Recruit Training Service Ribbon, along with a choice of coast for their next duty stations.
In addition to training recruits at RTC Great Lakes, RDCs at E-7 (Chief Petty Officer) or above who have experience leading recruit divisions train students at Officer Training Command in Newport, Rhode Island, either training prospective naval officers at Officer Candidate School (OCS) as Class Chief Petty Officers, alongside Marine Corps Drill Instructors, or newly commissioned junior officers in the Navy's Staff Corps (i.e.
MTIs initially conduct basic training at Lackland Air Force Base as part of the 737th Training Group, but a select few conduct military training at the Officer Training School at Maxwell AFB and at the Air Force Academy during basic cadet training.
Their usual duty uniform is the Airman Battle Uniform (ABU), with Blues uniforms worn during certain drill practices, and the graduation ceremony.
Upon receiving their certification as an instructor, they receive the Air Education and Training Command Instructor badge for wear on the right side of the blues uniform.
After this time, graduates will be awarded the Air Force Special Duty Ribbon, newly created and authorized on 1 Oct 2014.
At the conclusion of a tour, some MTIs are offered the chance to work in essential support training roles in the basic training course.
Military training leaders (MTLs) wear a blue aiguillette on the left shoulder and act in the same capacity as Army drill sergeants during technical training.
The aiguillette in various colors is worn by students to indicate leadership roles - green for student flight leaders, yellow for student squadron leaders, and red for squadron student commanders.
A white aiguillette is worn by chapel guides, a white and blue rope denotes they are in the Drum and Bugle Corps, and a teal rope is worn by student counselors.
Coast Guard recruit companies average two or three CCs per, with the newer CCs serving as Assistants to the more experienced Lead CC.
The rationale behind this is to remind these cadets of their experiences coming into the Academy, and to reinforce the mantra that they must do the things they will eventually demand of incoming Swabs.
The experience provides third class cadets with invaluable experience they will need in training the new incoming fourth class cadets during Swab Summer.
In many military services, a Drill Instructors' creed has been created to succinctly state the beliefs that a Drill Instructor should follow.
He is the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Government Theory at Harvard University Law School, where his course Justice was the university's first course to be made freely available online and on television.
He was president of his senior class at Palisades High School (1971) and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Brandeis University with a bachelor's degree in politics (1975).
Sandel's view is that we are by nature encumbered to an extent that makes it impossible even in the hypothetical to have such a veil.
Some examples of such ties are those with our families, which we do not make by conscious choice but are born with, already attached.
The popularity of the show is attributed to the discussion-oriented format (the Socratic method)—rather than recitation and memorization of facts—and to Sandel's engaging style, incorporating context into discussion; for example, he starts one lecture with a discussion of the ethics of ticket scalping.
These followed a format similar to the Justice lectures, this time recorded in front of an audience at the London School of Economics.
Across three programs, Sandel debates with the audience whether universities should give preference to students from poorer backgrounds, whether a nurse should be paid more than a banker, and whether it is right to bribe people to be healthy.
On April 29, 2013, the philosophy department faculty of San Jose State University addressed an open letter to Sandel protesting the use of MOOCs (massively open online courses) such as his Justice course.
He offers a commentary on the roles of moral values and civic community in the American electoral process—a much-debated aspect of the 2004 US election cycle and of current political discussion.
The lectures were delivered in London on May 18, Oxford on May 21, Newcastle on May 26, and Washington, DC, in early June, 2009.
This proposed solution entailed imposing refugee quotas on nations according to their wealth and then allowing countries to pay other, poorer countries to take refugees allotted under their quota.
The Dodge Daytona is an automobile which was produced by the Chrysler Corporation under their Dodge division from 1984 to 1993.
The Daytona derives its name mainly from the Dodge Charger Daytona, which itself was named after the Daytona 500 race in Daytona Beach, Florida.
The 2.2 L Turbo I engine was available as standard equipment in the XE and XT trim lines and optional on the standard model.
The Laser was replaced by the Mitsubishi built Chrysler Conquest, a rear-wheel drive vehicle which competed directly against the Toyota Celica Supra.
The Laser name was silently terminated after the first half of 1986 model year, then resurrected for the 1990 model year as the Plymouth Laser, built by Diamond Star Motors, a joint venture between Chrysler and Mitsubishi.
However, the Laser’s luxury performance image would be carried over into the 1987 Dodge Daytona Pacifica as well as the Lancer Pacifica and other Dodge vehicles styled by Chrysler's Pacifica Studios.
Chrysler offered a five-year or warranty, or a protection plan with outer body rust-through protection, based on United States Automobile Club tests.
Many Turbo Z models were produced and were more luxurious than other years due to their use of Mark Cross leather, light up speakers, and rear amplifier switches.
But the biggest change was under the hood: the 2.2 Turbo was given four more hp to 146 hp (109 kW), and a new shift linkage was added.
The Shelby Z also featured numerous suspension upgrades, including a larger diameter front sway bar and disc brakes on all four wheels.
Among the optional equipment included a leather interior, eight-way power enthusiast driver's seat (with mechanical thigh and lumbar controls), digital instrument cluster, and a 12-button trip computer (with instant fuel ratings as well as trip averages and estimated travel times).
In order to reduce weight and produce a lighter Daytona, the C/S came without the ground effects and other features that were on the Shelby.
The AGB model C/S had a Turbo I 2.2 L engine, which was available with either an automatic or manual transmission.
Following the Chrysler takeover of Lamborghini, product programs general manager Jack Stavana introduced a program to fit a Lamborghini Jalpa V8 into a Daytona.
The 2.2 L Turbo I was replaced with the 2.5 L Turbo I, rated at 150 hp and 180 ft. lbs.
This new C/S model featured an intercooled 2.2 L Turbo II engine, along with many other features that were also on the Shelby.
The IROC decals where added in halfway through 1991 even though all Shelby Daytonas from 1991 were considered to be IROCs.
The Daytona also received a thorough facelift, which replaced the pop-up headlights with flush-mounted rounded ones and added a new grille and rear fascia.
Window surround moldings on the doors were also new, and rounder than the sharp angles of the moldings on 1984 to 1991 models.
Although the Shelby trim was discontinued after 1991 (due to the end of Carroll Shelby's involvement with Chrysler), a small number of 1992 Daytona IROCs were produced bearing the Shelby name.
These were the last production vehicles produced by Chrysler to bear the Shelby name was in 1991 when replaced with Iroc .
Chia Pets are American styled terracotta figurines used to sprout chia, where the chia sprouts grow within a couple of weeks to resemble the animal's fur or hair.
All include a Chia Alarm Clock during wave 11 to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Chia Pet in 2006, in 2007 could include either the Chia Alarm Clock, Chia Watch, or Mini Chia Cuddly, and in 2008 could include either the Mini Chia Cuddly or a deck of Chia Playing Cards.
Chia Guy and Chia Professor include a Chia Alarm Clock during wave 11 to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Chia Pet in 2006, in 2007 could include either the Chia Alarm Clock, Chia Watch, or Mini Chia Cuddly, and in 2008 could include either the Mini Chia Cuddly or a deck of Chia Playing Cards.
The presidents and 2012 candidates are sculpted as heads, atop a base that is thicker than normal for a Chia Head planter.
The Chia Chef's Garden is another step in the direction of the Chia Herb Gardens, in this case designed to grow vegetables indoors.
The set includes three terra cotta pots, three terra cotta saucers, three Chia Wonder Soil inserts, and six packets of seeds (in sweet basil, tomatoes, and peppers) and recipe/tip book.
All include Chia Growing Mix, Cat Grass seeds (a mix of sweet oat and wheat grass) for three plantings, and a plastic saucer.
The purpose of the Chia Cat Grass Planter is to give something tasty and nutritious for cats to eat, rather than one's Chia Pets.
A Watch-Me-Grow Chia Card displays a changing image of the Chia item it was packaged with in various stages of growth, from the bare Terra Cotta statue, to the fully grown image normally displayed on the packaging.
During the time they were available, the cards were rubber-pasted to the front of the packaging, where the usual product image was normally located, though still sealed under the outer layer of shrink-wrap.
Watch-Me-Grow Chia Cards were available depicting the following items: Chia Puppy, Chia Kitten, Chia Bunny, Chia Turtle, Chia Pig, Chia Frog, Chia Hippo, Chia Elephant, Chia Cow, Chia Dinosaur, Chia Guy, Chia Kid, Chia Professor, Chia Clown, Chia Lion Cub, Chia Elmer Fudd, Chia Taz, Chia Tweety, and Chia Tree.
Available packaged with all Chia Pets, the two remaining Chia Heads, and the Chia Tree during wave 11 in 2006 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Chia Pet.
The Chia Alarm Clock continued to be available, but packages could also contain a Mini Chia Cuddly in the shape of the bear cub, or a Chia Watch, which was a simple digital watch with a clear gel watchband having tiny colored images of various Chia Pets stamped on it.
Each packaged Chia Pet, Chia Head, or Chia Tree displayed a decal indicating which of the three pack-ins would be found inside.
The cards were of the standard four-suit playing card variety, and had pictures of various Chia Pets in the center of each card.
The company is a 50/50 joint venture between GE Aviation, a subsidiary of General Electric, and Pratt & Whitney, a subsidiary of United Technologies.
Engine Alliance was established in August 1996 to develop, manufacture, sell, and support a family of aircraft engines for new high-capacity, long-range aircraft.
The main application for such an engine, the GP7100, was originally for the Boeing 747-500/600X projects, before these were cancelled due to lack of demand from airlines.
On September 30, 2017, an Engine Alliance GP7270 engine suffered from an uncontained failure during the passenger flight of Air France Flight 66.
The Kelley School of Business (KSB) is an undergraduate and graduate business school at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana and Indianapolis, Indiana, United States.
As of 2017, approximately 7,500 full-time undergraduate and graduate students are enrolled on its Bloomington campus, as well as 1,740 students at the Indianapolis campus.
Initially it resided in the Commerce Building constructed in 1923 (William A. Rawles Hall since 1971), moving to the Business and Economics Building in 1940 (called Woodburn Hall since 1971) and finally to today's Business School building in 1966.
Although they had been holding classes in Indianapolis since 1961, it wasn't until the Fall of 1974 that the Kelley School of Business officially expanded to Indianapolis.
The dean's office is located on the Bloomington campus, but two positions, Executive Associate Dean - Indianapolis and Associate Dean of Indianapolis Research and Programs, were created to lead the Kelley School of Business curriculum, faculty and programs at IUPUI.
Completed in 2003, the $33 million Graduate and Executive Education Center provides state-of-the-art learning facilities to the Kelley School's graduate and executive education students and houses some of the nation's top-ranked programs and research centers.
Featuring elegant limestone and oak architecture, the building provides students and faculty with every imaginable technological advantage and connects with the undergraduate facilities via a two-story limestone walkway.
In 2003, the Kelley School partnered with the Scotts Miracle-Gro Company to launch Bloomington Brands, a unique brand management work-study program for both undergraduates and MBA students.
Students manage all marketing variables for the Osmocote brand, including the selection of product formulas, sizes, packages, and pricing, as well as the development of marketing strategy, advertising, media purchase and selection, promotional activities, and consumer research.
In the Summer of 2005 interim Dean Dan Smith was appointed to be the new dean of the school, replacing Dean Dan Dalton who stepped down in 2004.
In a ceremony on October 21, 2005, the Kelley School renamed its Graduate and Executive Education Center in honor of William J. Godfrey, an alumnus and successful businessman who bequeathed land valued at $25 million.
On March 30, 2012, the Kelley School renamed its Undergraduate Building Hodge Hall in honor of James R. Hodge who gifted $15 million to help renovate and expand the facility.
The $60 million expansion and renovation of Hodge Hall broke ground in May 2012 and opened in the fall of 2014.
In June 2012 Dean Dan Smith stepped down as dean of the school after serving as dean for seven years to take a new position as president and CEO of the Indiana University Foundation.
The Kelley School of Business undergraduate program has been ranked top 15 in the nation for over fifteen years and top 10 in the last six, across various publications.
In a 2016 survey of over 1,000 recruiters by Bloomberg Businessweek, the undergraduate school was ranked 4th in the nation, 1st among public universities.
In 2017, The Economist ranked the Kelley Master of Business Administration (MBA) program #22 in the world (17th in the U.S.).
The 2017 U.S. News & World Report ranks Kelley's Online Graduate Business Program #1 in the nation, and the online MBA #3.
The school's doctoral program has contributed to overall teaching and research by sending more than 1,000 doctoral graduates to key positions in industry and academe.
In the 2010 QS Global 200 Business Schools Report the school was indexed as the 24th best business school in North America.
Fortune Small Business magazine listed Kelley’s MBA and undergraduate programs in entrepreneurship #1 among all public universities in the nation in 2009.
A 2017 report by Crist|Kolder Associates listed Indiana University 5th in producing current Fortune 500 CEOs and 1st in producing Fortune 500 CFOs among public institutions.
The Kelley School of Business is among the elite 25 percent of business programs internationally accredited by the AACSB International — The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
The Business/SPEA Information Commons on the Bloomington campus serves the research and study needs of students and faculty of both the Kelley School of Business and Indiana University's School of Public and Environmental Affairs.
It houses administrative offices for the Master of Business Administration program, Kelley Executive Partners, Kelley Direct, the Johnson Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and graduate accounting, finance and information systems programs.
The Kelley School renamed its Graduate and Executive Education Center in honor of William J. Godfrey, an alumnus and successful businessman who has bequeathed land valued at $25 million.
The most wired building on the Bloomington campus, it features both direct and wireless connectivity that will help students both inside and outside the classroom.
Other special features include a trading room, which includes informational resources comparable to most Wall Street firms, allowing students and faculty to monitor the markets, develop financial products, and engage into trading activities with other counterparties.
Nintendo Selects (formerly Player's Choice) is a marketing label used by Nintendo to promote video games on current Nintendo game consoles that have sold well.
, recommended retail prices are £19.99 in the United Kingdom, USD$19.99 in the United States, CDN$19.99 in Canada, A$49.95 in Australia and €29.99 throughout the Eurozone.
PAL region Player's Choice games have boxes that are colored silver or platinum with Player's Choice markings on the right hand side of a Nintendo 64 box or on the top of a GameCube box.
Later in the year, when 6 new titles were added, Nintendo split the pricing for different sets of GCN games, so that some titles would enter in or stay at U.S.$29.99 while others would be reduced immediately to U.S.$19.99.
The label was then expanded to the Wii U alongside select Wii and Nintendo 3DS titles in Canada, released on March 11, 2016, priced at CA$29.99.
Due to the use of a more expensive cartridge-based format, all N64 Player's Choice titles retailed for $39.95 in the United States and $49.99 in Canada.
The Engine Alliance GP7000 is a turbofan jet engine manufactured by Engine Alliance, a joint venture between General Electric and Pratt & Whitney.
It is built around an 0.72 scale of the GE90-110B/115B core and contains a Pratt & Whitney fan and low-pressure system design.
The competing Rolls-Royce Trent 900 was named as the lead engine for the then-named A3XX in 1996 and was initially selected by almost all A380 customers.
However the GE/PW engine increased its share of the A380 engine market to the point where as of September 2007 it will power 47% of the super-jumbo fleet.
This disparity in sales was resolved in a single transaction, with Emirates' order of 55 GP7000-powered A380-800s, comprising over one quarter of A380 sales (as of September 2007).
Ground testing of the engine began in April 2004 and was first flight tested as the number two engine on GE's 747 flying testbed over Victorville, CA in December 2004.
On August 25, 2006, the same aircraft, A380-861 test aircraft (MSN 009), made the first flight of an Engine Alliance powered A380.
The engine is offered with two ratings appropriate for the various A380 configurations and take-off weights: GP7270 for the 560 tonne variant, and GP7277 for the 590 tonne A380-800 freighter (which was subsequently cancelled by Airbus).
On 30 September 2017, Air France Flight 66, an Airbus A380 with registration F-HPJE, suffered an uncontained engine failure during flight where the entire fan module (blades and disc) and nose cowl on its number-four GP7270 engine separated from the engine.
To repatriate the stranded jet, the damaged engine would be replaced and sent back to GE's workshop at Cardiff; a replacement engine would be placed in the same position to balance the weight but not operable.
The French accident investigation agency BEA, which is conducting the investigation into the incident, released photos of the first engine fan, fan hub and cowling parts being recovered in Greenland.
In mathematics, the plus construction is a method for simplifying the fundamental group of a space without changing its homology and cohomology groups.
Given a perfect normal subgroup of the fundamental group of a connected CW complex formula_1, attach two-cells along loops in formula_1 whose images in the fundamental group generate the subgroup.
The plus construction may then be applied to the perfect normal subgroup formula_14 of formula_15, generated by matrices which only differ from the identity matrix in one off-diagonal entry.
Genital piercing is a form of body piercing that involves piercing a part of the genitalia, thus creating a suitable place for wearing different types of jewellery.
Genital piercings can be found in many tribal societies, in particular in South and East Asia, where it has been part of traditional practice since ancient times.
The traditional heritage place of genital piercings is assumed to be South East Asia, with traditional piercings being found in tribes ranging from India to Borneo.
Piercings of the genitals have a long tradition, with sources mentioning the Apadravya, a male genital piercing, as early as in the Kama Sutra (second century).
The ampallang, a similar piercing (which passes horizontally through the glans instead of vertically), is found in different tribes throughout Sarawak and Sabah on the island of Borneo.
However, the popularity diminished again, with genital piercings becoming rather uncommon in the western world until the second half of the 20th century.
In the 1970s, they were introduced to the emerging body modification community by the early piercings pioneers like Jim Ward and Doug Malloy, many of them associated with the legendary piercing studio The Gauntlet in Los Angeles.
Genital piercings were later sported by the modern primitives movement that developed during the 1980s in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Just like nipple piercings, genital piercings became increasingly more popular and part of mainstream culture in the second decade of the 21st century, with ″nice and normal″ people endorsing them.
Many celebrities such as Christina Aguilera, Fantasia Barrino, Pete Doherty, Lady Gaga, Janet Jackson, Lenny Kravitz, Katarina Waters, or Pete Wentz, stated that they had or planned to have genital piercings.
However, according to Chelsea Bunz, professional piercer from UK, the clearly existing rise in popularity might as well be an effect of more people openly talking about their genital piercings: ″I think genital piercing has always been popular – it's just discussed more openly these days, which makes it increasingly acceptable to the mainstream.
In addition, some (but not all) types of genital piercing increase sensitivity and provide additional stimulation during sexual intercourse or stimulation.
In many traditional cultures, these piercings are done as a rite of passage during adolescence and, symbolically and literally, mark the admittance to the adult world and serve as a marker of cultural identity.
While female genital piercings do this only to the women wearing them, male genital piercings can enhance stimulation for both the person wearing the jewelry and their partner by stimulating both the glans of the wearer and the vaginal wall or the anus of the penetrated partner.
Due to genital physiology, women seem to gain more sexual pleasure from both, their own as well as her partner's genital piercings.
Paolo Mantegazza stated, ″The Dayak women have a right to insist upon the ampallang and if the man does not consent they may seek separation.
Female genital piercings that are reported to enhance pleasure are the piercings that pass through or close to the clitoris, i.e.
In an empirical study at the University of South Alabama, the authors reported a positive relationship between vertical clitoral hood piercings and desire, frequency of intercourse and sexual arousal.
The triangle piercing is known to be quite pleasurable by providing stimulation of the underside of the clitoral glans, an area that is usually not stimulated at all.
Comparable to other piercings, improper hygiene during the piercings process carries the risk of transmitting blood borne diseases and during the healing process it might lead to infection.
Some physicians believe that male genital piercings increase the risk of STD transmission by making safer sex barriers (condoms) less effective.
The time to fully heal a genital piercing varies tremendously, depending on piercing site and individual characteristics: it can range from a week up to six months.
People with fresh piercings should abstain from sexual activity for the first few days and also then should use physical protection barriers such as condoms until the piercing is fully healed.
In many European countries, minors are required to bring a signed consent form from or to be escorted by a legal guardian.
Even in countries that have no laws regulating genital piercing in minors, many piercers refrain from doing them (since physiological development is not completed in minors).
Possible piercing sites on the male genitalia include the glans, the skin of the penis shaft, the scrotum or the perineum.
Piercings through the glans of the penis include the ampallang, which passes horizontally, and the apadravya, that passes vertically through the glans.
The Prince Albert piercing is situated on the ventral side (underside) of the penis immediately behind the glans, while the reverse Prince Albert piercing passes through the dorsal (top) side of the glans.
These piercings provide increased stimulation during intercourse to the male (who is carrying the piercing) as well as to the partner.
These include the mons pubis, the clitoral hood, the (inner and outer) labia and the vulval vestibule (which is the area surrounding the vaginal opening).
The Triangle piercing is located at the ventral end of the labia minora, at the point of transition between labia and clitoral hood.
A less common version of the Fourchette is the Suitcase piercing, which can be considered as a deep Fourchette (it enters on the perineum).
Also rather uncommon is the Princess Albertina piercing, the female version of the Prince Albert piercing, that passes through the ventral (lower) wall of the urethra.
The Christina piercing is a surface piercing, situated on the upper part of the mons pubis where the outer labia meet.
It is similar to the Nefertiti piercing, that can be seen as a combination between vertical clitoral hood piercing and Christina piercing.
These include the pubic piercing, which is situated above the penis in men and on the mons pubic in women (comparable to the Christina piercing, but horizontally).
In its earliest appearance in Greek, this notion of excellence was ultimately bound up with the notion of the fulfillment of purpose or function: the act of living up to one's full potential.
Homer applies the term of both the Greek and Trojan heroes as well as major female figures, such as Penelope, the wife of the Greek hero Odysseus.
The Ancient Greeks applied the term to anything: for example, the excellence of a chimney, the excellence of a bull for breeding, and the excellence of a man.
It was commonly believed that the mind, body, and soul each had to be developed and prepared for a man to live a life of arete.
They did not need to consume one's life, merely exercise the body into the right condition for arete, just like the mind and soul would be exercised by other means.
So, not only is Achilles a brave and brilliant warrior but also, from the outset, he is destined to die in battle at Troy with the utmost glory—a guarantor of Arete.
Arete was occasionally personified as a goddess, the sister of Homonoia (not to be confused with Harmonia), and the daughter of the goddess of justice, Praxidike.
As with many minor Greek deities, there is little or no real mythical background to Arete, who is used at most as a personification of virtue.
The only story involving Arete was originally told in the 5th century BC by the sophist Prodicus, and concerns the early life of the hero Heracles.
This story was later used by Christian writers, such as Methodius of Olympus, Justin Martyr, Clement of Alexandria, and Basil of Caesarea.
This training in arete included physical training, for which the Greeks developed the gymnasion; mental training, which included oratory, rhetoric, and basic sciences; and spiritual training, which included music and what is called virtue.
The Major Indoor Soccer League, known in its final two seasons as the Major Soccer League, was an indoor soccer league in the United States that played matches from fall 1978 to spring 1992.
Before folding after 14 seasons of competition, at the conclusion of the 1991–92 season, a total of 24 franchises – under 31 team names (seven teams would change city/name) – had played in the MISL.
Over its life, MISL teams would be based in 27 different cities – with two different teams, at different times, playing in Cleveland, East Rutherford, New Jersey, St. Louis and Uniondale, New York.
The Houston Summit (1978–80)/Baltimore Blast (1980–92) franchise was the only one to compete for the entire 14 seasons of the MISL's existence.
The next longest-lived franchise, and the longest in a single city, were the 13 seasons of the Wichita Wings team, which missed only the inaugural 1978–79 season.
The third longest-lived franchise was the 12 seasons of the Detroit Lightning (1979–80)/San Francisco Fog (1980–81)/Kansas City Comets (1981–91) franchise, which missed only the first and last seasons.
The San Diego Sockers was the most successful franchise, winning eight of the MISL's 14 overall championships (57%) – which also equates to eight championships during the team's nine seasons in the league (89%).
The most successful player in the MISL is arguably Steve Zungul, a Yugoslav American striker who was MISL Most Valuable Player six times, was the Scoring Champion six times, the Pass Master (most assists) four times, played on eight championship-winning teams (and one runner-up), and won Championship Series Most Valuable Player four times.
Zungul is the MISL's all-time leader in goals (652, nearly 200 ahead of the second highest scorer), assists (471, nearly 100 ahead of second) and points (1,123, nearly 300 ahead of second).
The league averaged 7,644 fans per game over its 14 regular seasons, and averaged 9,049 fans per game over its 14 playoff runs.
Four of the league's seven franchises would continue to operate: Cleveland Crunch and Wichita Wings joined the National Professional Soccer League; Dallas Sidekicks and San Diego Sockers helped found the Continental Indoor Soccer League.
During the MISL All-Star Game at Madison Square Garden, National Football League promotions director Jim Foster sketched a design of what a football field would look like on the back of a 9x12 manila envelope.
That inspiration gave birth to the concept now known as arena football (also indoor football) and the AFL was born six years later.
<nowiki>*</nowiki>Three North American Soccer League (NASL) teams temporarily joined the MISL for the 1982–83 season, as the NASL did not play indoors for that season.
As the NASL was folding in 1985 four of its former teams (Chicago, Minnesota, New York and San Diego) joined the MISL in late 1984.
This award was given to 'the most outstanding player in his first year of competition in the Major Indoor Soccer League' in order to differentiate it from the Rookie of the Year award.
Auscultation is performed for the purposes of examining the circulatory and respiratory systems (heart and breath sounds), as well as the alimentary canal.
The act of listening to body sounds for diagnostic purposes has its origin further back in history, possibly as early as Ancient Egypt.
Laënnec's contributions were refining the procedure, linking sounds with specific pathological changes in the chest, and inventing a suitable instrument (the stethoscope) to mediate between the patient's body and the clinician's ear.
Ultrasonography (US) inherently provides capability for computer-aided auscultation, and portable US, especially portable echocardiography, replaces some stethoscope auscultation (especially in cardiology), although not nearly all of it (stethoscopes are still essential in basic checkups, listening to bowel sounds, and other primary care contexts).
Mediate auscultation is an antiquated medical term for listening (auscultation) to the internal sounds of the body using an instrument (mediate), usually a stethoscope.
It was demonstrated in the 2000s that Doppler auscultation using an hand-held ultrasound transducer enables the auscultation of valvular movements and blood flow sounds that are undetected during cardiac examination with a stethoscope.
The Doppler auscultation presented a sensitivity of 84% for the detection of aortic regurgitations, while classic stethoscope auscultation presented a sensitivity of 58%.
Since the physics of Doppler auscultation and classic auscultation are different, it has been suggested that both methods could complement each other.
To manage to escape and go home, he uses the native species of anthropomorphic plants—the Pikmin—to help him find the 30 parts of his ship in the 30 days his life support systems can support him.
After discovering that some things he has brought back from the Pikmin planet are extremely valuable, his boss sends him and a co-worker, Louie, to the planet to find more of it in order to pay down the company's debt.
Player characters Alph, Brittany, and Charlie, who crash-landed on the planet shortly after Olimar, seek to locate him in order to retrieve a crucial piece of their ship, which he took mistaking it for treasure.
He learns that in order to bring his ship back in working order, he must collect 30,000 of the substance known as Sparklium.
Once the player gathers up 30,000 Sparklium, Olimar learns he must retrieve an essential component needed to repair the ship, the Sparklium Converter.
However, it is revealed that it was eaten by the Beserk Leech Hydroe, a giant plant-like creature which he must fight.
In the late eighteenth century, Johann Jacob Schweppe developed a process to manufacture carbonated mineral water based on the discoveries of Joseph Priestley.
In 1843, Schweppes commercialised Malvern Water at the Holywell Spring in the Malvern Hills, which was to become a favourite of the British Royal Family until parent company Coca-Cola closed the historic plant in 2010 to local outcry.
After acquiring many other brands in the ensuing years, the company was split in 2008, with its US beverage unit becoming Keurig Dr Pepper and separated from its global confectionery business (now part of Mondelez International).
In 1945, the advertising agency S.T.Garland Advertising Service Ltd., London coined the word 'Schweppervescence' which was first used the following year.
Thereafter it was used extensively in advertisements produced by Garlands who sold copyright of this word to the Schweppes Company for £150 five years later when they relinquished the account.
An ad campaign in the 1950s and 1960s featured a real-life veteran British naval officer named Commander Whitehead, who described the product's bubbly flavour (effervescence) as evanescence.
Hardwar (sometimes stylized HardW[a]r or given the full name Hardwar: The Future Is Greedy) is a 1998 science fiction flight simulation computer game developed by The Software Refinery and published by Gremlin Interactive.
The colony was once a profitable mining outpost, but the major corporations backed out, leaving the inhabitants without the capability of space travel and a slowly but steadily crumbling infrastructure.
During two hundred years of isolation, the remaining corporations became effectively organised crime gangs, with the corrupt and inefficient police force maintaining little law and order.
Things change when an unidentified, apparently alien, ship crash lands in the defunct Port district, causing the two largest corporations - Klamp-G and Lazarus - to rush to take advantage.
The player finds themself thrust in to the situation, eventually managing to outrace both corporations to help the aliens repair their ship in return for passage off Titan, to an uncertain, but hopefully better, future.
Players may also be lowly scavengers like many artificial intelligence (AI) moths, picking at the dropped cargo of panicked traders, or players can become pirates themselves.
Many AI moths flit about with valuable cargo, should the players decide to take this path; however, stolen cargo in the players' hands can be confiscated by the police, or they could become the target of other outlaws now that they are carrying valuable cargo.
Alternatively, players can use a public hangar, such as one of the various businesses around the city to trade and repair their moths.
Players are able to trade goods from their hangar(s), and based on market forces such as supply and demand, as well as distance to the supply, players can set their own prices.
Based on how good a deal the players make, AI moths will line up in droves to purchase goods, or fly on by for a better deal elsewhere.
Players can set up manufacturing facilities in their hangars with the purchase of relevant equipment, to turn scrap metal into ship parts, to turn water and chemicals into alcohol, or any number of other products.
Software Refinery was located in the north of England at Leeds, and several locations in the game were named after actual buildings near the company's offices.
However, Ian Martin, one of the game's developers, did release a series of unofficial patches to the fan community to add additional features and bug fixes not present in the final official release.

Timaru (; ) is a port city in the southern Canterbury region of New Zealand, located southwest of Christchurch and about northeast of Dunedin on the eastern Pacific coast of the South Island.
The Timaru urban area is home to people, and is the largest urban area in South Canterbury, and the second largest in the Canterbury Region overall, after Christchurch.
The city is the seat of the Timaru District, which includes the surrounding rural area and the towns of Geraldine, Pleasant Point and Temuka, which combined has a total population of .
Caroline Bay beach is a popular recreational area located close to Timaru's city centre, just to the north of the substantial port facilities.
Beyond Caroline Bay, the industrial suburb of Washdyke is at a major junction with State Highway 8, the main route into the Mackenzie Country.
Timaru has been built on rolling hills created from the lava flows of the extinct Mt Horrible volcano, which last erupted thousands of years ago.
The result is that most of the main streets are undulating, a clear contrast with the flat landscape of the Canterbury Plains to the north.
Māori waka seem to have employed the site of Timaru as a place to rest on journeys up and down the eastern coastline for many years before the arrival of the first Europeans in the 19th century.
The area includes over 500 sites with traces of Māori rock art, particularly in the rock overhangs and caves of the Opuha and Opihi river valleys, to the west of modern-day Timaru.
During the 17th or 18th century the resident Ngāti Mamoe were driven southwards into Fiordland by an invasion of the Ngāi Tahu, who came from the North Island.
European settlement began with the construction of a whaling station in 1839 by the Weller brothers of Otago at Patiti Point, close to the present town centre.
One of the earliest settlers was Captain Henry Cain, who set up a store in 1857 on behalf of Henry Le Cren of Lyttelton, and Le Cren himself moved to Timaru in the following year.
Persistent land disputes arose between the Rhodes brothers and local government officials with the result that two townships were established in the port area, Government Town and Rhodestown.
Following the loss of a number of vessels off the coast, the breakwater design by Engineer John Goodall was adopted and work started on the redevelopment of the artificial port in 1877 , which eventually caused sand washed south down the Pacific shoreline to build up against the northern mole.
This was the beginning of the extensive land reclamation around the Caroline Bay district, an area which is still growing today.
Timaru continued to expand during the 20th century, with much of the development taking the form of wooden colonial style bungalows set in individual sections of land.
Timaru has a relatively dry temperate climate similar to that of neighbouring Ashburton and Christchurch, classified as oceanic climate (Cfb) by Köppen-Geiger climate classification system.
Temperatures are warm in summer and cold in winter, with Timaru's extreme maximum temperature being 41.3 °C on 6 February 2011 and extreme minimum temperature of −9.1 °C on 3 August 1998.
Timaru is one of the major cargo ports of the South Island, with a number of light manufacturing plants associated with the export and import trade.
Allan Hubbard the chartered accountant and philanthropist established the failed finance company South Canterbury Finance and accounting firm Hubbard Churcher in Timaru and lived locally until his death in a car accident on 2 September 2011.
There are regular coach and minibus services to Christchurch, Dunedin, Invercargill, Queenstown and the Mackenzie Country, leaving from outside the Visitor Information Centre, which provides booking facilities and other travel services.
The Main South Line section of the South Island Main Trunk Railway runs through Timaru and is a significant freight corridor.
Between 1949 and 1970, Timaru was serviced by the South Island Limited, one of the former New Zealand Railways Department's most prestigious trains.
The South Canterbury Museum is the main museum for the region, containing exhibits relating to physical geography and the environment, fossil remains, Māori rock art, the early settlement of the district, local maritime history, scrimshaw, the E P Seally natural history collection, and information about Richard Pearse, a local inventor and his attempts at manned flight in the first years of the 20th century.
It holds a collection of New Zealand, Pacific, Asian and European art works from the sixteenth century to the present day and includes a sculpture garden.
The parkland of the Bay Area contains a mini golf course, a roller skating rink, a maze and staging for musical events.
To the south of the city centre are the Timaru Botanic Gardens, first laid out in 1864, with a notable collection of roses and native tree ferns.
To the west is the Centennial Park Reserve, opened in 1940, that includes a tranquil 3.5 km walkway following the wooded valley of the Otipua Creek.
The Caroline Bay Carnival, featuring live performances, games, and side shows, takes place from Boxing Day through to mid-January at Caroline Bay Park.
There are also many networked FM radio stations, and a volunteer-run Hospital Radio 88.0/107.5 which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2019.
In 1870 the Mechanics Institute was created by an addition on an existing building and aimed to provide a Library, Reading Room and News Room.
It was a Carnegie library, built with a 3,000 pound grant from Andrew Carnegie of New York – the condition under which the money was given was that the reading rooms should be open to everyone and that the lending Library should be free to ratepayers of the borough.
Timaru has a comprehensive range of community sporting facilities designed to international standards for rugby, tennis, yachting, Hardcourt Bike Polo, swimming, netball, motor racing, cricket, golf, hockey, croquet, pistol shooting, trap shooting and bowls.
Timaru is also home to the Timaru International Motor Raceway, which is one of only 4 permanent sealed motor racing circuits in the South island.
Forrester is an American market research company that provides advice on existing and potential impact of technology, to its clients and the public.
Forrester has five research centers in the US: Cambridge; New York, New York; San Francisco, California; Washington, D.C.; and Dallas, Texas.
It also has four European research centers in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, and Paris and four research centers in the APAC region in New Delhi, Singapore, Beijing, and Sydney.
Forrester was founded in July 1983 by George Forrester Colony, now chairman of the board and chief executive officer, in Cambridge , Massachusetts.
The company acquired Fletcher Research, a British Internet research firm, in November 1999; FORIT GmbH, a German market research and consulting firm, in October 2000 and Giga Information Group, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based information technology research and consulting company, in February 2003.
Forrester's head office has always been in Cambridge, Massachusetts: first, near Harvard Square, then, in Technology Square, and now in Cambridge Discovery Park (Acorn Park).
In September 2017, Forrester launched its first consumer product, an Apple and Android mobile app that allows consumers to rate companies using a simple system based upon a stoplight.
On January 31, 2006, the company announced that on January 26, 2006 its independent registered public accounting firm, BDO Seidman, LLP, informed the company that it had incorrectly accounted for performance-based stock options to purchase 940,500 shares of common stock granted on March 31, 2005.
In estimation theory and statistics, the Cramér–Rao bound (CRB), Cramér–Rao lower bound (CRLB), Cramér–Rao inequality, Fréchet–Darmois–Cramér–Rao inequality, or information inequality expresses a lower bound on the variance of unbiased estimators of a deterministic (fixed, though unknown) parameter.
This term is named in honor of Harald Cramér, Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao, Maurice Fréchet and Georges Darmois all of whom independently derived this limit to statistical precision in the 1940s.
In its simplest form, the bound states that the variance of any unbiased estimator is at least as high as the inverse of the Fisher information.
Such a solution achieves the lowest possible mean squared error among all unbiased methods, and is therefore the minimum variance unbiased (MVU) estimator.
This may occur either if for any unbiased estimator, there exists another with a strictly smaller variance, or if an MVU estimator exists, but its variance is strictly greater than the inverse of the Fisher information.
The Cramér–Rao bound is stated in this section for several increasingly general cases, beginning with the case in which the parameter is a scalar and its estimator is unbiased.
Suppose formula_1 is an unknown deterministic parameter which is to be estimated from formula_2 independent observations (measurements) of formula_3, each distributed according to some probability density function formula_4.
A more general form of the bound can be obtained by considering a biased estimator formula_17, whose expectation is not formula_1 but a function of this parameter, say, formula_19.
Apart from being a bound on estimators of functions of the parameter, this approach can be used to derive a bound on the variance of biased estimators with a given bias, as follows.
The first term is the fourth moment about the mean and has value formula_116; the second is the square of the variance, or formula_117.
Catholic higher education includes universities, colleges, and other institutions of higher education privately run by the Catholic Church, typically by religious institutes.
According to the census of the Vatican's Congregation for Catholic Education, the total number of Catholic universities and higher education institutions around the world is 1,358.
The Catholic religious order with the highest number of universities around the world today is the Society of Jesus with 114.
Like other private schools, Catholic universities and colleges are generally nondenominational, in that they accept anyone regardless of religious affiliation, nationality, ethnicity, or civil status, provided the admission or enrollment requirements and legal documents are submitted, and rules and regulations are obeyed for a fruitful life on campus.
However, non-Catholics, whether Christian or not, may or may not participate in otherwise required campus activities, particularly those of a religious nature.
Born in Blackpool, UK, and brought up in Manchester, Mahoney emigrated to the United States at the age of 19 and started his acting career on the stage in 1977, moving into film in 1980.
In addition to his film and television work, Mahoney also worked as a voice actor and was particularly passionate about his stage work on Broadway and in Chicago theatre.
The family had been evacuated to Blackpool from the Mahoneys' home city of Manchester, when it was heavily bombed during the Second World War.
His father, Reg, was a baker who played classical piano, and his mother, Margaret (née Watson), was a housewife who loved reading.
They would not speak to each other for long periods of time, when they did it often led to heated arguments.
Mahoney moved to the United States aged 18 in March 1959 when his older sister Vera, a war bride living in rural Illinois, agreed to sponsor him.
After graduating from Quincy, he lived in Macomb, Illinois and earned his Master's degree in English from Western Illinois University, where he then taught English in the early 1970s, before settling in Forest Park, Illinois, and later in Oak Park, Illinois.
Dissatisfied with his career, Mahoney took acting classes at St. Nicholas Theatre, which inspired him to resign from his day job and pursue acting full-time.
Mahoney rarely spoke publicly about his private life, but in a 2002 article he revealed he had been in several relationships, although he had never married, citing his parents' unhappy marriage as something he feared he would repeat.
The Spanish were largely gone by the early 18th century, though they remained in nearby Florida, and their presence ultimately left little impact on what would become Georgia.
On April 8, 1776, royal officials had been expelled and Georgia's Provincial Congress issued a constitutional document that served as an interim constitution until adoption of the state Constitution of 1777.
This stimulated the cotton boom in Georgia and much of the Deep South, promoting a cotton-based economy dependent on slave labor.
On January 19, 1861, Georgia seceded from the Union and on February 8 joined other Southern states to form the Confederate States of America.
The first major battle in the state was the Battle of Chickamauga, a Confederate victory, and the last major Confederate victory in the west.
The burning of Atlanta (which was a commercially vital railroad hub but not yet the state capital) was followed by Sherman's March to the Sea, which devastated a wide swath from Atlanta to Savannah in late 1864.
Reconstruction was a period of military occupation and biracial Radical Republican rule that established public education and welfare institutions, and instituted economic initiatives.
Black citizens lost most of their political power and became second class citizens in the Jim Crow era from the 1880s to 1964.
During the broad-based activism of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s, Georgia was the base for African-American leader Martin Luther King Jr.. After 1950 the economy grew, with cotton becoming far less important.
Democratic candidates continued to receive majority-white support in state and local elections until the 1990s, when the realignment of whites shifted to Republicans.
Human occupation of Georgia dates back at least 13,250 years, and coincides with one of the most dramatic periods of climate change in recent earth history, toward the end of the Ice Age, in the Late Pleistocene epoch.
A 2003 research project undertaken by University of Georgia researchers Ervan G, Garrison, Sherri L. Littman, and Megan Mitchell, looked at and reported on fossils and artifacts associated with Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary, which is located more than beyond today's shoreline, and 60 to 70 feet (18 to 21 m) below the Atlantic Ocean.
The researchers uncovered artifacts from a period of occupation by Clovis culture and Paleoindian hunters dating back more than 10,000 years.
This culture developed urban societies distinguished by their construction of truncated earthworks pyramids, or platform mounds; as well as their hierarchical chiefdoms; intensive village-based maize horticulture, which enabled the development of more dense populations; and creation of ornate copper, shell and mica paraphernalia adorned with a series of motifs known as the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex (SECC).
The largest sites surviving in present-day Georgia are Kolomoki in Early County, Etowah in Bartow County, Nacoochee Mound in White County, and Ocmulgee National Monument in Macon.
At the time of European colonization of the Americas, the historic Iroquoian-speaking Cherokee and Muskogean-speaking Yamasee & Hitchiti peoples lived throughout Georgia.
Closer to the Coastal regions were groups of small, Muskogean tribal groups with a loosely shared heritage that were divided mostly between the Guale associated groups to the east & the Timucua group to the south, a group of 35 tribes whose lands went all the way into central Florida & were backed up to the Hitchiti to the west.
They were related to the three large Muskogean nations between the Mississippi River & the Cherokee—the Choctaw, Chickasaw & Coushatta—as well as a few other small tribes along the Florida-Alabama Gulf Coast region.
The name for Appalachia came from their languages &, in particular, from a specific Timucuan group from northern Florida called the Apalachee.
It was during this colonial attempt, known as San Miguel de Gualdape, that the first Catholic Mass took place in the present-day United States.
A vast undertaking, de Soto's North American expedition ranged across parts of the modern states of Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas and included traversing much of the state of Georgia from south to north encountering many native groups along the way.
The French founded the colonial settlement of Charlesfort in 1562 on Parris Island, when Jean Ribault and his party of French Huguenots settled an area in the Port Royal Sound area of present-day South Carolina.
Most of the colonists followed René Goulaine de Laudonnière south and founded a new outpost called Fort Caroline in present-day Florida.
The people may have succumbed to new infectious diseases introduced by the Europeans and the remaining people coalesced into the documented historic period groups.
There they traded iron tools, guns, cloth, and rum for deerskins and Indian slaves captured by warring tribes in regular raids.
The conflict between Spain and England over control of Georgia began in earnest in about 1670, when the English colony of South Carolina was founded just north of the missionary provinces of Guale and Mocama, part of Spanish Florida.
The coast of future Georgia was occupied by British-allied Yamasee American Indians until they were decimated in the Yamasee War of 1715–1717, by South Carolina colonists and Indian allies.
The surviving Yamasee fled to Spanish Florida, leaving the coast of Georgia depopulated, making formation of a new British colony possible.
Oglethorpe and other English philanthropists secured a royal charter as the Trustees of the colony of Georgia on June 9, 1732.
The misconception of Georgia's having been founded as a debtor or penal colony persists due to the numerous English convicts who were later sentenced to transportation to Georgia.
Land ownership was limited to , a grant that included a town lot, a garden plot near town, and a farm.
Self-supporting colonists were able to obtain larger grants, but such grants were structured in increments tied to the number of indentured servants whom the grantee imported.
From 1735 to 1750, the trustees of Georgia, unique among Britain's American colonies, prohibited African slavery as a matter of public policy.
However, as the growing wealth of the slave-based plantation economy in neighboring South Carolina demonstrated, slaves were more profitable than other forms of labor available to colonists.
From 1750 to 1775, planters so rapidly imported slaves that the enslaved population grew from less than 500 to approximately 18,000, and they constituted a majority of the colony.
Some historians have surmised that the Africans had the knowledge and material techniques to build the elaborate earthworks of dams, banks, and irrigation systems throughout the Lowcountry that supported rice and indigo cultivation; Georgia planters imported slaves chiefly from rice-growing regions of present-day Sierra Leone, the Gambia and Angola.
Recent scholarship argues that the Europeans could have developed the rice culture on their own and that African knowledge played a minor role in the success of its cultivation as a commodity crop.
By the 1750s, British settlers lived as far south as Cumberland Island, which was in violation of the rules of their own government as well as that of Spain, who claimed the territory.
British settlers living south of the Altamaha River frequently engaged in trade with Spanish Florida which was also illegal according to both governments, but the ban on such trade was essentially unenforceable.
The pacing and development of large plantations made the Georgia coast society more like that of the West Indies than of Virginia.
The large plantations were worked by numerous African-born slaves, and many Africans, although of different languages and tribes, came from closely related geographic areas of West Africa.
The slaves of the 'Rice Coast' of South Carolina and Georgia developed the unique Gullah or Geechee culture (the latter term more common in Georgia), in which important parts of West African linguistic, religious and cultural heritage were preserved and creolized.
African-American influence, which absorbed elements of Native American and European-American culture, was strong on the cuisine and music that became integral parts of southern culture.
Georgia was largely untouched by war during much of Britain's involvement in the Seven Years War as the colony was located a long distance from Canada and the French-allied Indians.
In 1762 Georgia feared a potential Spanish invasion from Florida, although this did not occur by the time peace was signed at the 1763 Treaty of Paris.
No manufactures of the least consequence: a trifling quantity of coarse homespun cloth, wool [sic] and cotton mixed; amongst the poorer sort of people, for their own use, a few cotton and yarn stockings; shoes for our Negroes; and some occasional blacksmith's work.
But all our supplies of silk, linens, wool, shoes, stockings, nails, locks, hinges, and tools of every sort ... are all imported from and through Great Britain.
The first was Savannah, the seat of government during British colonial rule, followed by Augusta, Louisville, Milledgeville, and Atlanta, the capital city from 1868 to the present day.
The state legislature has gathered for official meetings in other places, most often in Macon and especially during the American Civil War.
But all of the 13 colonies developed the same strong position defending the traditional rights of Englishmen which they feared London was violating.
Georgia and the others moved rapidly toward republicanism which rejected monarchy, aristocracy and corruption, and demanded government based on the will of the people.
Angered by the news of the battle of Concord, on the eleventh of May 1775, the patriots stormed the royal magazine at Savannah and carried off its ammunition.
The customary celebration of the King's birthday on June 4 was turned into a wild demonstration against the King; a liberty pole was erected.
In June and July, assemblies at Savannah chose a Council of Safety and a Provincial Congress to take control of the government and cooperate with the other colonies.
The Constitution of 1777 put power in the hands of the elected House of Assembly, which chose the governor; there was no senate and the franchise was open to nearly all white men.
At the Siege of Savannah in 1779, American and French troops (the latter including a company of free men of color from Saint-Domingue, who were mixed race) fought unsuccessfully to retake the city.
In the abstraction [removal] of negro slaves, by the burning of dwellings, in the obliteration of plantations, by the destruction of agricultural implements, and by theft of domestic animals and personal effects, it is estimated that at least one half of the available property of the inhabitants had, during this period, been completely swept away.
Agriculture was at a stand-still, and there was no money with which to repair these losses and inaugurate a new era of prosperity.
Amid the general depression there was, nevertheless, a deal of gladness in the hearts of the people, a radiant joy, an inspiring hope.
The end of the war saw a new wave of migration to the state, particularly from the frontiers of Virginia and the Carolinas.
During the 77 years of the Antebellum period, the area of Georgia was soon reduced by half from the Mississippi River back to the current state line by 1802.
The ceded land was added into the Mississippi Territory by 1804, following the Louisiana Purchase, with the state of Alabama later created in 1819 to become the west Georgia state line.
The slave population increased to work the plantations, but the native Cherokee tribe was removed and resettled west in Oklahoma, in the final two decades before the Civil War, as explained further in the paragraphs below.
In 1787, the Treaty of Beaufort had established the eastern boundary of Georgia, from the Atlantic seashore up the Savannah River, at South Carolina, to modern day Tugalo Lake (construction to the Tugalo dam was started in 1917 and completed in 1923).
Twelve to fourteen miles () of land (inhabited at the time by the Cherokee Nation) separate the lake from the southern boundary of North Carolina.
Georgia maintained a claim on western land from 31° N to 35° N, the southern part of which overlapped with the Mississippi Territory created from part of Spanish Florida in 1798.
The Treaty of 1816 fixed the present-day northern boundary between Georgia and South Carolina at the Chattooga River, proceeding northwest from the lake.
The Mississippi Territory was split on December 10, 1817, to form the U.S. state of Mississippi and the Alabama Territory for 2 years; then in December 1819, the new state of Alabama became the western boundary of Georgia.
In 1829, gold was discovered in the north Georgia mountains, resulting in the Georgia Gold Rush, the second gold rush in U.S. history.
During the early 1800s, Cherokee Indians owned their ancestral land, operated their own government with a written constitution, and did not recognize the authority of the state of Georgia.
The dispute culminated in the Indian Removal Act of 1830, under which all eastern tribes were sent west to Indian reservations in present-day Oklahoma.
In Worcester v. Georgia, the Supreme Court in 1832 ruled that states were not permitted to redraw the boundaries of Indian lands, but President Andrew Jackson and the state of Georgia ignored the ruling.
In 1838, his successor, President Martin van Buren dispatched federal troops to round up the Cherokee and deport them west of the Mississippi.
This forced relocation, beginning in White County, became known as the Trail of Tears and led to the death of over 4,000 Cherokees.
In 1794, Eli Whitney, a Massachusetts-born artisan residing in Savannah, Georgia, had patented a cotton gin, mechanizing the separation of cotton fibres from their seeds.
The Industrial Revolution had resulted in the mechanized spinning and weaving of cloth in the world's first factories in the north of England.
Fueled by the soaring demands of British textile manufacturers, King Cotton quickly came to dominate Georgia and the other southern states.
Although Congress had banned the slave trade in 1808, Georgia's slave population continued to grow with the importation of slaves from the plantations of the South Carolina Lowcountry and Chesapeake Tidewater, increasing from 149,656 in 1820 to 280,944 in 1840.
Slaves worked the fields in large cotton plantations, and the economy of the state became dependent on the institution of slavery.
Requiring little cultivation, most efficiently grown on large plantations by large (slave) workforces, and easy to transport, cotton proved ideally suited to the inland frontier.
The lower Piedmont or 'Black Belt' counties – comprising the middle third of the state and initially named for the region's distinctively dark and fertile soil – became the site of the largest and most productive cotton plantations.
By 1860, the slave population in the Black Belt was three times greater than that of the coastal counties, where rice remained the principal crop.
While there were also many smaller cotton plantations, the proportion of slaves was lower in north Georgia than in the coastal and Black Belt counties, but it still ranged up to 25% of the population.
In 1860 in the state as a whole, enslaved African Americans comprised 44% of the population of slightly more than one million.
Post-secondary education was formalized, in 1785, with the establishment of the University of Georgia, the first university in the U.S. to gain a state charter.
Public education was established by the Reconstruction era legislatures in the South, but after Democrats regained power, they hardly funded them.
They included Georgia Female College, Rome Female College, Greensboro Female College, Griffin Synodical Female College, Thomasville/Young's Female College, and the most enduring of all, Decatur Female Seminary, now Agnes Scott College.
White solidarity was strong in 1861-63, as the planters in the Black Belt formed a common cause with upcountry yeomen farmers in defense of the Confederacy against the Yankees.
However disillusionment set in by 1863, with class tensions becoming more serious, with food riots, desertions, and growing Unionist activity in the northern mountain region.
Approximately 5,000 Georgians served in the union army in units including the 1st Georgia Infantry Battalion, the 1st Alabama Cavalry Regiment, and a number of East Tennessean regiments.
Governor Joseph E. Brown tried to divert attention by blaming the Confederate officials in Richmond, especially President Jefferson Davis, and insisting that many Georgia troops be kept at home.
Following President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of January 1863, slaves began to leave plantations to join Union lines and gain freedom.
Confederate general Joseph E. Johnston fought a series of delaying battles, the largest being the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, as he tried to delay as long as possible retreating toward Atlanta.
Johnston's replacement, Gen. John Bell Hood attempted several unsuccessful counterattacks at the Battle of Peachtree Creek and the Battle of Atlanta, but Sherman captured the city on September 2, 1864.
In November Sherman stripped his army of non-essentials and began his famous Sherman's March to the Sea, living off the land and burning plantations, wrecking railroads, and killing the livestock.
After the loss of Atlanta, the governor withdrew the state's militia from the Confederate forces to harvest crops for the state and the army.
In July 1864, during the Atlanta campaign, General Sherman ordered approximately 400 Roswell mill workers, mostly women, arrested as traitors and shipped as prisoners to the North with their children.
Poor white women took matters in their own hands in more than two dozen riots when they raided stores and captured supply wagons to get such necessities as bacon, corn, flour, and cotton yarn.
As the South lost control of more and more of its major ocean and river ports, it had to rely on a rickety railroad system and unimproved roads to move soldiers and supplies.
Thinking the state was safe from invasion, the Confederates built small munitions factories throughout the state as well as soldier hospitals and prison camps.
In 1864, the government relocated Union prisoners of war from Richmond, Virginia, to the town of Andersonville, in remote southwest Georgia.
During its 15 months of operation, the Andersonville prison camp held 45,000 Union soldiers; at least 13,000 died from disease, malnutrition, starvation, or exposure.
After the war, the camp's commanding officer, Captain Henry Wirz, was the only Confederate to be tried and executed as a war criminal.
Wartime damage, disruption to plantations, and miserable weather had a disastrous effect on agricultural production before the end of the war.
Production of the state's chief money crop, cotton, fell from a high of more than 700,000 bales in 1860 to less than 50,000 in 1865, while harvests of corn and wheat were also meager.
15 authorizing federal authorities to confiscate abandoned plantations in the Sea Islands and redistribute land in smaller plots to former slaves.
Later that year, after succeeding Lincoln in the presidency after he was assassinated, Andrew Johnson revoked the order and returned the plantations to their former owners.
The region's planters struggled with the transition to paid labor and tried to control the movement of blacks through Black Codes.
Andrew Johnson's decision to restore the former Confederate states to the Union, without requirements for political change, was criticized by Radical Republicans in Congress.
In July 1868, the newly elected General Assembly ratified the Fourteenth Amendment; a Republican governor, Rufus Bullock, was inaugurated, and Georgia was readmitted to the Union.
Refusing to give up social domination, some ex-Confederates organized insurgent paramilitary groups, especially chapters of the newly formed Ku Klux Klan.
Freedmen's Bureau agents reported 336 cases of murder or assault with intent to kill perpetrated against freedmen across the state from January 1 through November 15 of 1868.
It generated revenue for the state by leasing out the prison population, many of whom were black, to work for private businesses and citizens.
One prominent beneficiary of this system was the Republican jurist and politician Joseph E. Brown, whose railroads, coal mines and iron works supplemented their workforce with convict labor.
The activity of political groups opposed to Reconstruction prompted Republicans and others to call for the return of Georgia to military rule.
In January 1870, Gen. Alfred H. Terry, the final commanding general of the Third District, purged the General Assembly of ex-Confederates.
After military rule ended, Democrats won commanding majorities in both houses of the General Assembly, aided by election violence and fraud.
Some Reconstruction-era black legislators held on to their seats through the legislature's passage of laws disfranchising blacks, starting with a poll tax in 1877; the last black legislator served until 1907.
Post-Reconstruction Georgia was dominated by the 'Bourbon Triumvirate' of Joseph E. Brown, Major General John B. Gordon and Gen. Alfred H. Colquitt.
Between 1872 and 1890, either Brown or Gordon held one of Georgia's Senate seats, Colquitt held the other, and, in the major part of that period, either Colquitt or Gordon occupied the Governor's office.
Colquitt represented the old planter class; Brown, head of Western & Atlantic Railroad and one of the states first millionaires, represented the New South businessmen.
He helped negotiate the Compromise of 1877 that ended Reconstruction and led to the end of federal enforcement of laws protecting blacks.
A native of northwest Georgia, his popularity impeded the growth of the 'mountain Republicanism,' which was prevalent elsewhere in Appalachian areas where slavery had been minor and resentment against the planter class widespread.
In 1885, when Atlanta and Fulton County enacted prohibition legislation against alcohol, a local pharmacist, John Pemberton invented a new soda drink.
Two years later, after he sold the drink to Asa Candler who promoted it, Coca-Cola became the state's most famous product.
The International Cotton Exposition of 1881 and the Cotton States and International Exposition of 1895 were staged to promote Georgia and the South as textile centers.
They attracted mills from New England to build a new economic base in the post-war South by diversifying the region's agrarian economies.
Attracted by low labor costs and the proximity to raw materials, new textile businesses transformed Columbus and Atlanta, as well as Graniteville, on the Georgia-South Carolina border, into textile manufacturing centers.
Due to Georgia's relatively untapped virgin forests, particularly in the thinly populated pine savanna of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, logging became a major industry.
It supported other new industries, most notably paper mills and turpentine distilling, which, by 1900, made Georgia the leading producer of naval stores.
In the volatile 1880s and 1890s, political violence suppressed black voting as white Democrats imposed laws for Jim Crow and white supremacy.
This period also corresponded to Georgia's disfranchisement of blacks and many poor whites through changes to its constitution and addition of such requirements as poll taxes (1877), literacy and comprehension tests, and residency requirements.
The Cotton States and International Exposition was the venue for Booker T. Washington's speech promoting what became known as the Atlanta Compromise.
He urged blacks to focus their efforts, not on demands for social equality, but to improve their own conditions by becoming proficient in skills for available jobs agriculture, mechanics, and domestic service.
Born in Massachusetts, Du Bois had earned his doctorate in Germany and was one of the most highly educated black men in America; in 1897 he joined the faculty of Atlanta University and taught there for several years.
While Grady and other proponents of the New South insisted on Georgia's urban future, the state's economy remained overwhelmingly dependent on cotton.
Much of the industrialization that did occur was as a subsidiary of cotton agriculture; many of the state's new textile factories were devoted to the manufacture of simple cotton bags.
The price per pound of cotton plummeted from $1 at the end of the Civil War to an average of 20 cents in the 1870s, nine cents in the 1880s, and seven cents in the 1890s.
Through the lien system, small-county merchants assumed a central role in cotton production, monopolizing the supply of equipment, fertilizers, seeds and foodstuffs needed to make sharecropping possible.
By the 1890s, as cotton prices plummeted below production costs, 80–90% of cotton growers, whether owner or tenant, were in debt to lien merchants.
Southern Populists denounced the convict lease system, while urging white and black small farmers to unite on the basis of shared economic self-interest.
You are made to hate each other because upon that hatred is rested the keystone of the arch of financial despotism which enslaves you both.
Southern Populists did not share their Western counterparts' emphasis on Free Silver and bitterly opposed their desire for fusion with the Democratic Party.
They had faced death threats, mob violence and ballot-box stuffing to challenge the monopoly of their states' Bourbon Democrat political machines.
The Populists nominated Watson as William Jennings Bryan's vice-president, but Bryan selected New England industrialist Arthur Sewall as a concession to Democratic leaders.
Watson continued to exert influence in Georgia politics, and provided a key endorsement in the gubernatorial campaign of M. Hoke Smith.
Hoke Smith's tenure as governor was noted for the passage of Jim Crow laws and the 1908 constitutional amendment that required a person to satisfy qualifications for literacy tests and property ownership for voting.
Because a grandfather clause was used to waive those requirements for most whites, the legislation effectively secured the disfranchisement of African Americans.
Georgia's amendment was made following 1898 and 1903 Supreme Court decisions that had upheld similar provisions in the constitutions of Mississippi and Alabama.
The new provisions were devastating for the African-American community and poor whites, as losing the ability to register to vote meant they were excluded from serving on juries or in local office, as well as losing all representation at local, state and Federal levels.
White-dominated state legislatures and the state Democratic parties quickly responded by creating new barriers to an expanded franchise, such as white-only primaries.
The last black member of the General Assembly, W. H. Rogers, resigned in 1907 as the final representative of the Reconstruction-era coastal Georgia political machine.
The rapidly growing middle class of professionals, businessmen and educated worked to bring the Progressive Era to Georgia in the early 20th century.
NAACP and other activists rapidly registered African Americans in cities such as Atlanta, but in rural areas they remained outside politics.
Starting around 1910, and increasing as jobs began to open up during World War I, tens of thousands of African Americans in the Great Migration moved to northern industrial cities out of the rural South for work, better education for their children, the right to vote and for escape from the violence of lynchings.
From 1910 to 1940 and in a second wave from the 1940s to 1970, a total of more than 6.5 million African Americans left the South for northern and western industrial cities.
Before World War I, it was widely believed that the solution to drunkenness was the religious revival, which would turn the sinner into a teetolaling Christian.
The Drys were led by ministers and middle class women of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, who succeeded in securing a local option law that dried up most of the rural counties.
By 1907 the much more effective Anti-Saloon League took over from the preachers and women and cut deals with the politicians, such as Hoke Smith.
It was initially sold as a patent medicine for five cents a glass at soda fountains, which were popular in the United States at the time due to the belief that carbonated water was good for the health.
In 1887, Asa Griggs Candler bought the cola company from Pemberton, and with aggressive regional, national and international marketing turned it into one of the largest and most profitable corporations in the New South.
An outspoken feminist, she became a leader of the prohibition and woman's suffrage movements, endorsed lynching, fought for reform of prisons, and filled leadership roles in many reform organizations.
The state legislature ignored efforts to let women vote in local elections, and not only refused to ratify the Federal 19th Amendment, but took pride in being the first state to reject it.
However, black women were largely excluded from voting by the state's discriminatory devices until after the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 enforced their constitutional rights.
After Frank's death sentence was commuted to life in prison by the outgoing Governor, an outraged lynch mob seized Frank from his jail cell and hanged him.
On November 25, 1915, a group led by William J. Simmons burned a cross on top of Stone Mountain, inaugurating a revival of the 2nd Klan.
By the end of the decade, the organization suffered from a number of scandals, internal feuds, and voices raised in opposition.
Lower commodity prices in the 1920s had a negative impact on the rural economy, which, in turn, effected the entire state.
Cotton prices decreased from a high of $1.00 a pound during World War I, to $.20 in the late 1920s, to lows of 6 cents in 1931 and 1932.
Georgia benefited from several New Deal programs, which raised cotton prices to $.11 or $.12 a pound, promoted rural electrification, and set up rural and urban work relief programs.
Enacted during Roosevelt's first 100 days in office, the Agricultural Adjustment Act paid farmers to plant less cotton, to reduce oversupply.
He established his 'Little White House' in Warm Springs, where the therapeutic waters offered treatment and relief for the President's paralytic illness.
However, the most powerful member of the Georgia delegation, Congressman Eugene Cox, often opposed legislation which favored labor and urban interests, particularly the National Industrial Recovery Act.
He was a former Agriculture Commissioner who promoted himself as a 'real dirt farmer', winning the support of his rural constituencies.
Appealing to his white conservative base, Talmadge denounced New Deal programs that paid black workers wages equal to whites, and attacked what he described as the communist tendencies of the New Deal.
The Roosevelt administration was often able to circumvent Talmadge's opposition by working with pro-New Deal politicians, most notably Atlanta Mayor William B. Hartsfield.
In the 1936 election, Talmadge unsuccessfully attempted to run for the Senate, but lost to pro-New Deal incumbent Richard Russell, Jr..
Between 1933 and the early 1940s the administration of Franklin D Roosevelt spent slightly over $250 million on projects in Georgia for projects such as malaria control, rural sanitation, hot lunches for school children, nursing services and art projects.
Re-elected Governor in 1940, Talmadge suffered a political setback when he fired a dean at the University of Georgia, on the grounds that the dean had advocated integration.
When this action was opposed by the Georgia Board of Regents, Governor Talmadge reconfigured the board, appointing members more favorable to his views.
This, in turn, led the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to withdraw accreditation from ten of the state's colleges and universities.
Marietta's Bell Aircraft plant, the principal assembly site for the Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, employed nearly 28,000 people at its peak, Robins Air Field near Macon employed nearly 13,000 civilians; Fort Benning became the world's largest infantry training school; and newly opened Fort Gordon became a major deployment center.
Shipyards in Savannah and Brunswick built many of the Liberty Ships used to transport materiel to the European and Pacific Theaters.
In 1946, Georgia became the first state to allow 18-year-olds to vote, and remained the only one to do so before passage of the 26th Amendment in 1971.
That same year, the Communicable Disease Center, later called the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was founded in Atlanta from staff of the former Malaria Control in War Areas offices.
This precipitated another wave of urban migration, as former sharecroppers and tenant farmers moved chiefly to the urban Midwest, West and Northeast, as well as to Georgia's own burgeoning urban centers.
Afterwards Mayor Hartsfield lobbied successfully to make the city Delta Air Lines' hub for commercial air travel, based on Atlanta's strategic location in relation to the nation's major population centers.
African Americans who served in the segregated military during World War II returned to a still segregated nation and a South which still enforced Jim Crow laws.
Many were motivated to participate in the NAACP and other groups to enforce their constitutional rights, especially the right to vote, and the right of their children to an equal education.
Atlanta, home to a number of traditional black colleges, sustained a large, educated, middle-class black community which produced leaders of the Civil Rights Movement.
In the postwar period, the new movement for change was carried forward by several groups, with somewhat different agendas, but united in the goal of civil rights for African Americans.
In 1958 the state passed legislation to restrict voter registration by requiring illiterate candidates to answer 20 of 30 questions of comprehension posed by white registrars.
The son of a Baptist minister, King earned a doctorate from Boston University and was part of the educated middle class that had developed in Atlanta's African-American community.
The success of the Montgomery boycott led to King's joining with others to form the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in Atlanta in 1957, to provide political leadership for the Civil Rights Movement across the South.
Nonetheless the Albany campaign provided important lessons, which were put to use in the more successful Birmingham campaign of 1963–64 in Alabama.
By the 1960s, the proportion of African Americans in Georgia had declined to 28% of the state's population, after waves of migration to the North and some in-migration by whites.
Julian Bond, a noted civil rights leader, was elected to the state House in 1965, and served multiple terms there and in the state senate.
Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. testified before Congress in support of the Civil Rights Act, and Governor Carl Sanders worked with the Kennedy administration to ensure the state's compliance.
With the advantages of cheap real estate, low taxes, Right-to-work laws and a regulatory environment limiting government interference, the Atlanta metropolitan area became a national center of finance, insurance, and real estate companies, as well as the convention and trade show business.
As a testament to the city's growing international profile, in 1990 the International Olympic Committee selected Atlanta as the site of the 1996 Summer Olympics.
Following national Democratic support for civil rights legislation, Georgia, along with the rest of the formerly Democratic Solid South, gradually shifted to support Republicans, first in presidential elections.
Realignment was hastened by the turbulent one-term Presidency of native-son Jimmy Carter, the popularity of Ronald Reagan, organizational efforts of the Republican Party, and the perception of a growing liberalism within the national Democratic Party.
As the era of old south Democratic control, symbolized by iconic personalities Herman Talmadge and Georgia Speaker of the House Tom Murphy drew to an end, new Republican leaders took their place.
Barr later switched his party affiliation to Libertarian and announced his intention to run for the U.S. presidency on May 12, 2008.
After being appointed to the Senate, following the death of Paul Coverdell in 2000, Miller emerged as a prominent ally of George W. Bush on the war in Iraq, Social Security privatization, tax cuts, and other conservative-backed issues.
He delivered a controversial keynote speech at the 2004 Republican convention where he endorsed Bush for reelection and denounced the liberalism of his Democratic Party colleagues.
CNN reported that in 2008 presidential election exit polls, 39% of the voters identified as conservatives; 48% moderates and 13% liberals.
In the 2018 elections, the Governor remained a Republican (by just 17,488 votes against a black female, Stacey Abrams), Republicans lost eight seats in the Georgia House of Representatives (winning 106), while Democrats gained ten (winning 74), Republicans lost two seats in the Georgia Senate (winning 35 seats), while Democrats gained two seats (winning 21), and five Democrat U.S.
Representatives were elected with Republicans winning nine seats (one winning with just 419 votes over the Democratic challenger, and one seat being lost).
The exterior was designed by Henrik Fisker and the interior by Scott Lempert up until 1995, when the latter left BMW and styling was approved.
A concept was later developed to preview the Z8, called the Z07 and was showcased in October 1997 at the Tokyo Motor Show.
The Z8 hardtop differed from the Z07 in being a double-bubble form with a tapering faring versus a single dome with a truncated convex rear.
The Z07's exotic driver's side helmet fairing was never intended for production, in order to allow easy operation of the power soft top.
The Z8 cost US$128,000, had an all-aluminum chassis and body, and used a V8 engine which has a power output of at 6,600 rpm and of torque at 3,800 rpm.
This engine, known internally as the S62, was built by BMW Motorsport and was shared with the E39 M5 sports saloon.
As with most BMW automobiles the top speed of the Z8 was electronically limited to with the delimited top speed amounting to an estimated .
The Z8 used neon exterior lighting, the tail lights and turn indicators are powered by neon tubes that offer quicker activation than standard lightbulbs and are expected to last for the life of the vehicle.
Unlike many contemporary hardtops, which are provided for practical rather than stylistic considerations, the hardtop of the Z8 was designed from the outset to complement the lines of the car's styling.
The displacement of gauges to the middle of the dashboard was intended to offer an unimpeded view of the hood and the road ahead.
Due to the limited volume of production, all elements of the car were constructed or finished by hand, thereby compounding the importance of ongoing manufacturer support for the type.
A significant number of cars with bespoke paint and interior treatments were produced over the course of the four-year production run by BMW Individual, a division of BMW AG.
The Alpina was a departure from the hard-edged sporting focus of the original car, and elements of grand touring intent were evident throughout this final iteration.
Instead of the original 6-speed manual and 4.9 L (S62) engine featured in original Z8, the Alpina came only with an automatic transmission, utilising a 5-speed BMW Steptronic transmission mated to a 4.8 L Alpina-tuned BMW M62 V8 engine from the Alpina E39 B10 V8 S. In order to complete the car's transition from a sports car to a refined grand tourer, a softer suspension setting was used.
The standard Z8's run-flat tyres on wheels were discarded in favor of conventional tyres with softer sidewalls mounted on Alpina wheels.
A new softer grade of Nappa leather replaced the Z8's less supple specification, and special Alpina gauges were fitted on the dash board cluster.
An Alpina steering wheel with three solid spokes replaced the original, which could not be retrofitted with shift paddles for the automatic transmission.
Performance and power output of the Alpina roadster V8 differed from that of the standard car in that the peak power was reduced to , while peak torque was raised to ; this torque was available at significantly lower rpm than the original in order to enable more relaxed cruising.
Production of the Roadster V8 amounted to 555 units, 450 of which were exported to the U.S. market and only eight to the UK.
In the United States, this special edition of the Z8 was sold directly through BMW dealerships, marking a first for Alpina, whose cars had never been sold through retail channels in the U.S.
Based on the Z8, it shares the 4.9 L V8 engine from the donor car generating mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and has carbon fibre gull-wing doors.
It also has a variety of innovative technological features including a sunroof that filters UV light, multilingual voice control and a night vision system.
Jugra was the royal capital of Selangor when the then ruling monarch, Sultan Abdul Samad built Istana Jugra (Jugra Palace) and moved there in 1875.
It was situated in a strategic location, not exactly at the river mouth but easily accessible from the Straits of Malacca, and protected by a hill, Bukit Jugra; which stands clearly out above the low-lying mangrove swamps.
It was during this time that Jugra also briefly became the centre of British administration in Selangor, although this was soon moved to Klang, and a decade later to Kuala Lumpur.
The Sultan continued to live at Jugra until he died in 1898, and the new Sultan, Sultan Alauddin Sulaiman Shah also known as Sultan Sulaiman was proclaimed there.
Sultan Alauddin Sulaiman subsequently moved his official residence to the Istana Alam Shah in Klang further north in 1905, where he lived in for the next 35 years.
Among places of interest in this quaint town are royal palaces such as Istana Bandar, Makam Sultan Abdul Samad, a royal mausoleum, and mosques such as Masjid Alaeddin.
The Michigan Militia, Michigan Militia Corps (MMC), or the Michigan Militia Corps, Wolverines (MMCW) is a paramilitary organization founded by Norman Olson, a former U.S. Air Force non-commissioned officer, of Alanson, Michigan, United States.
The organization was formed around 1994 in response to perceived encroachments by the federal government on the rights of citizens, with roots in racism.
On June 15, 1995, Norman Olson, along with militia leaders from other states, testified before the United States Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism.
Not only does the Constitution specifically allow the formation of a Federal Army, it also recognizes the inherent right of the people to form militia.
Norman Olson retained the position of Commander of the MMC until after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, when he published a press release blaming the Japanese for the bombing, supposedly in retaliation for a clandestine US-sponsored gas attack in the Tokyo subway system.
This press release was an embarrassment to the MMC membership and subsequently Lynn Van Huizen of Nunica, Michigan was elected state commander in 1996.
In the years after the Oklahoma City bombing, the Michigan Militia Corps membership slowly declined and there was infighting among the leadership.
In 2009, with the leadership of Clint Dare and Ron Gaydosh, the Michigan Militia Corps was re-organized and elected a new state commander.
Okri is considered one of the foremost African authors in the post-modern and post-colonial traditions, and has been compared favourably to authors such as Salman Rushdie and Gabriel García Márquez.
His father, Silver, moved his family to London when Okri was less than two years old so that Silver could study law.
In 1968 Silver moved his family back to Nigeria where he practised law in Lagos, providing free or discounted services for those who could not afford it.
His exposure to the Nigerian civil war and a culture in which his peers at the time claimed to have seen visions of spirits, later provided inspiration for Okri's fiction.
At the age of 14, after being rejected for admission to a short university program in physics because of his youth and lack of qualifications, Okri experienced a revelation that poetry was his chosen calling.
Okri claimed that his criticism of the government in some of this early work led to his name being placed on a death list, and necessitated his departure from the country.
In 1978, Okri moved back to England and went to study comparative literature at Essex University with a grant from the Nigerian government.
Although it has been widely categorised as post-modern, some scholars have noted that the seeming realism with which he depicts the spirit-world challenges this categorisation.
Alternative characterisations of Okri's work suggest an allegiance to Yoruba folklore, New Ageism, spiritual realism, magical realism, visionary materialism, and existentialism.
Okri's short fiction has been described as more realistic and less fantastic than his novels, but these stories also depict Africans in communion with spirits, while his poetry and nonfiction have a more overt political tone, focusing on the potential of Africa and the world to overcome the problems of modernity.
Okri was made an honorary vice-president of the English Centre for the International PEN and a member of the board of the Royal National Theatre.
On 26 April 2012 Okri was appointed the new vice-president of the Caine Prize for African Writing, having been on the advisory committee and associated with the prize since it was established 13 years prior.
BBC Worldwide Ltd. was the wholly owned commercial subsidiary of the BBC, formed out of a restructuring of its predecessor BBC Enterprises in January 1995.
The company monetises BBC brands, selling BBC and other British programming for broadcast abroad with the aim of supplementing the income received by the BBC through the licence fee.
The company merged with BBC Studios on 1 April 2018, to form a new licensing, production, and distribution company under the BBC Studios name.
In addition to broadcasting, the BBC has for much of its life also produced additional materials for sale, the profits of which would be returned to the corporation to aid in the financing of these services.
BBC Publications, which produced magazines, books and other supplementary materials, had expanded rapidly in the late 1960s but still had difficulties with finances.
This was rectified however as the economic situation eased and by 1982, BBC Publications had a trading profit of £4.7 million.
This gradually expanded until the establishment of the Television Promotions (later renamed Television Enterprises) department in 1960 under a general manager.
In its first year, the department saw the sale of 550 programmes overseas with a turnover of £234,000, with a further 1,200 programmes sold the following year.
However, following the retirement of the Radio Enterprises general manager in 1969, the two departments were merged to form the BBC Enterprises department.
By 1982, the division were expanding with divisions responsible for home video (under the brand BBC Video), recorded audio (under the brands BBC Records and BBC Cassettes), film and merchanding.
BBC World Service Television became the first commercially funded BBC broadcasting operation after the Foreign Office refused to pay for it.
BBC Enterprises Ltd was subsequently reorganised on 1 January 1995 as BBC Worldwide Ltd. A review of the BBC's commercial activities took place in 2004 and concluded that the sell off of BBC Worldwide's assets would not be as advantageous as keeping the business and driving it harder.
In 2007, BBC Worldwide purchased a 75% stake in the travel guide publisher Lonely Planet, acquiring the final 25% of the company in 2011.
The acquisition was part of the BBC's strategy to grow its online portfolio and to increase its operations in Australia and the USA.
In January 2009, it was announced that Ofcom had put forward the recommendation that Channel 4 merge with either the commercial network Five or BBC Worldwide.
In the same year, the company was awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise in recognition of the companies growth and success.
In 2012, the company began to reorganise their divisions from a product based system to a location-based system, resulting in Jana Bennett leaving the company.
In 2013, BBC Worldwide sold Lonely Planet to Kentucky billionaire Brad Kelley's NC2 Media for US$75 million (£51.5 million)— significantly less than the £130.2 million the BBC had paid for the company, at an £80 million loss.
In 2017, under revisions to the BBC Charter and subsequent BBC Trust approval, the broadcaster formed a second commercial subsidiary known as BBC Studios, to hold most of the broadcaster's in-house production units (including Factual, Entertainment, Scripted, and Music & Events).
In return for the restructuring, which also allows the BBC to produce programmes for competing broadcasters to fund its public services, the BBC agreed to allow BBC Studios and third-parties to bid on tenders to produce its in-house non-news programmes over the next 11 years.
On 29 November 2017, the BBC announced that BBC Worldwide would be merged into BBC Studios in April 2018, which gave the broadcaster an integrated division involved in both the production and sale of programming.
BBC Worldwide's profit rate was 11.2% in 2011/2012, up slightly from 9.6% the previous year, down from a peak of 21.5% in 2002/2003, contrasting with 7.8% in 2003/2004.
In 2013, BBC Worldwide reorganised the company along geographical, rather than divisional, lines to better serve its audiences around the world and to position itself to take advantage of opportunities in high growth markets.
The seven geographic markets are grouped into three regions: North America; UK, Australia and New Zealand; and Global Markets (Asia, CEMA, Latin America and Western Europe).
The two global business areas - Content and Brands - set the strategic framework and parameters for activities within the regions and keep a close connection into BBC Worldwide's parent, the BBC.
BBC Worldwide was responsible for a wide range of commercial activities, primarily connected in some way with the output and public purposes of the main BBC.
In the past, the business was divided into five operating businesses which covered the entire operations of the company: Channels; Content and Production; Brands, Consumers and New Ventures, Consumer Products and Sales and Distributions.
The Content and Production division was formed in 2006 and invests the company's money into new productions by both the BBC and other independent productions.
The other two divisions of the company deal with the individual programme brands: Global Brands focuses on the international recognition of the brands while the Consumer Products division produces a variety of goods based around these brands.
The work of the former includes expanding the brands into new areas – the Top Gear Live tour is a key example of this.
The latter creates and sells a variety of consumer products, occasionally as a stake or partnership in another company, including VHS and DVD releases, spoken word and music audio products, CD-ROMs, videogames, books and magazines.
Some commercial rivals protest at the advantage the company has from being associated with and being able to exploit the programme catalogue and resources of the BBC to provide its goods and services.
However, not all vertex-transitive graphs are symmetric (for example, the edges of the truncated tetrahedron), and not all regular graphs are vertex-transitive (for example, the Frucht graph and Tietze's graph).
Finite vertex-transitive graphs include the symmetric graphs (such as the Petersen graph, the Heawood graph and the vertices and edges of the Platonic solids).
The finite Cayley graphs (such as cube-connected cycles) are also vertex-transitive, as are the vertices and edges of the Archimedean solids (though only two of these are symmetric).
The most famous example is the Petersen graph, but others can be constructed including the line graphs of edge-transitive non-bipartite graphs with odd vertex degrees.
Two countable vertex-transitive graphs are called quasi-isometric if the ratio of their distance functions is bounded from below and from above.
It is often spelled gorsedh in Cornwall and goursez in Brittany, reflecting the spellings in the Cornish and Breton languages, respectively.
However, other gorseddau exist, such as the Cornish Gorsedh Kernow, the Breton Goursez Vreizh and Gorsedd y Wladfa, in the Welsh Settlement in Patagonia.
Gorsedd Cymru was originally founded as Gorsedd Beirdd Ynys Prydain in 1792 by Edward Williams, commonly known as Iolo Morganwg, who also invented much of its ritual, supposedly based on the activities of the ancient Celtic Druidry.
The Gorsedd made its first appearance at an Eisteddfod at the Ivy Bush Inn in Carmarthen in 1819, and its close association with the Festival has remained.
It is an association of poets, writers, musicians, artists and individuals who have made a significant and distinguished contribution to Welsh language, literature, and culture.
The symbol commonly used to represent a Gorsedd is a triple line, the middle line upright and the outer two slanted towards the top of the centre, thus: /|\.
Elephant Butte Reservoir is a reservoir on the Rio Grande in the U.S. state of New Mexico, north of Truth or Consequences.
This reservoir is the 84th largest man-made lake in the United States, and the largest in New Mexico by total surface area and peak volume.
It is impounded by Elephant Butte Dam and is part of the largest state park in New Mexico, Elephant Butte Lake State Park.
The reservoir is part of the Rio Grande Project, a project to provide power and irrigation to south-central New Mexico and west Texas.
Fishing is a popular recreational activity on the reservoir, which contains striped bass, white bass, largemouth bass, crappie, walleye and catfish.
In 2014 a bachelor party stumbled across a stegomastodon skull in excellent condition just below the surface of the sand at Elephant Butte Reservoir.
Elephant Butte Dam, constructed between 1911 and 1916, with the reservoir fill started in 1915, was a major engineering feat in its day.
It stood as the largest irrigation dam ever built at the time of its construction, only being surpassed in 1970 by the Aswan Dam in Egypt.
A large construction community sprang up, which included worker camps, railways, water tanks, cableway systems, and the former administration building of the Bureau of Reclamation.
The former administration building of the Bureau of Reclamation still stands as a bed and breakfast facility, and, along with other structures of the time, are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
When the lake falls over 10 meters (30 feet) below maximum capacity, the ruins of an old machine shop rise out of the water.
Located near the south-east shore, this 3000 square-foot concrete structure was once believed to be the remnants of the old field hospital that served the frequently injured dam construction crew.
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (), also known as K3G, is an Indian Hindi-language drama film written and directed by Karan Johar and produced by Yash Johar.
The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor, with Rani Mukerji appearing in an extended special appearance.
The film tells the story of an Indian family, which faces troubles and misunderstandings over their adopted son's marriage to a girl belonging to a lower socio-economic group than them.
Initially scheduled to release during the Diwali festivities of 2001, the film eventually released in India, United Kingdom and North America on 14 December 2001.
Yash announces his desire for Rahul to marry Naina, a high-society woman and Rahul's childhood friend, as Yash believes that parents have the right to choose their child's spouse.
However, when he comes to know of Anjali, he is enraged due to her status, and Rahul promises not to marry her, as he does not want to hurt his father.
Ten years later, an adult Rohan returns home from boarding school and finally learns from his grandmothers why Rahul left as well as the fact that he is actually adopted.
He learns that Rahul, Anjali, and Pooja have moved to London, and travels there, lying to his parents that it is to pursue further studies.
In London, Rahul and Anjali live happily with a young son, Krish, and Pooja, now an ultra-modern diva studying at King's College London.
Rohan and Pooja, who were childhood friends in the past after their elder siblings fell in love, reunite and she supports him in his quest to bring his brother and sister-in-law back home.
At Krish's school function, when Pooja asks Krish how he got over his stage nerves, he recites some advice that Rohan had given him.
However, when Yash sees Rahul, Anjali and Pooja with Rohan, he is enraged at Rohan and their confrontation does not go well.
Nandini stands up to Yash for the first time, telling him that he was wrong for disowning Rahul and did not do right by breaking the family.
Nandini gives the couple a proper welcome and Yash tearfully asks for forgiveness, telling Rahul that he had always loved him.
Rohan and Pooja, who have fallen in love, are married, and the family holds a belated celebration of Rahul and Anjali's wedding.
The film also featured Johnny Lever as Haldiram (a shopkeeper in Chandni Chowk), Himani Shivpuri as Haldiram's wife, Jibraan Khan as Krish Raichand (Rahul and Anjali's son), Amar Talwar as Mr. Kapoor (Yash's friend and Naina's father).
However, on the advice of filmmaker Aditya Chopra, who thought that the male characters would be too weak, Karan decided to tweak the story-line to make it the story of two brothers.
Before principal photography could begin, Karan and the contracted costume designers (Manish Malhotra, Shabina Khan and Rocky S) shopped in several locations of USA, London, Milan, and New Delhi to get the right look for each of the cast members.
He did not organise any rehearsals for them, except for a scene involving a climatic encounter between Amitabh Bachchan and Roshan.
In order to lend authenticity, the team took several pictures of the original area and also shopped in the various alleys of Chandni Chowk.
The inside of a palatial mansion was developed from scratch in the same studio to double as the home of the Raichand family.
The crew faced enormous difficulties while filming an emotional scene between Jaya Bachchan and Khan at the Bluewater Complex, as a massive crowd had gathered there to watch them at work.
British journalist, Fuad Omar, wrote extensively about the filming of the film in the UK, covering much of the shoot in a series of online articles and for regional press.
She further stated that the buildup to the story was juxtaposed with the backdrop of two contrasting places – the Raichand home and the interiors of Chandni Chowk.
He added that the characters conveyed a plethora of emotions not through extensive dialogue but through the exchange of glances, which were demonstrated by extreme close-ups on their eyes.
He explained that the film was aimed at invoking nostalgia among the large section of NRI's in Canada, United Kingdom and North America.
In the second half of the film, Rahul and Anjali move to London, where they enjoy an affluent lifestyle, among several non-Indian neighbours and friends.
While certain critics praised the visual richness and the performances of the cast, certain others were negative about the lengthy run time and criticised the script strength and inconsistencies.
He pointed out several flaws in the script, but added that the positive aspects of the film managed to outweigh the negative ones.
The reviews were mostly mixed outside of India too, with several critics praising the technical production details of the film, while being somewhat less enthusiastic about the story line.
Shamaila Khan of BBC gave the film 9 out of 10 stars and praised the performances of Khan, Kajol and Kapoor.
Corey K. Creekmur, of the University of Iowa, said that there were many ignored or illogical plot points and inconsistencies between the moral messages meant to be portrayed and the manner in which they came off on screen.
The film opened to around nett collections in its first weekend in India, with the first week total at around .
The domestic opening week collections were 70% higher than the previous record and never before had opening records been eclipsed by such large margins.
The film was released in around 125 prints in the overseas markets, grossing a total of $8.9 million at the end of its theatrical run.
The film also had the biggest opening ever for a Bollywood film in North America, with a gross of $1.1 million in 73 screens.
However, according to a report by Rediff, the numbers were so high that the official reporting agency did not believe it, and asked for evidence that could not be furnished until after the reporting deadline had passed.
However, according to figures from Box Office Mojo, the film debuted at the 32nd place at the American box office during the week of 4 January 2002.
The film won several awards at the International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA), and some at the Zee Cine Awards and Screen Awards ceremonies, among others.
At the 13th annual Valenciennes International Film Festival, the film won five major awards, including three Best Film awards and Best Actress for Kajol.
It features materials and interviews concerning the producer, director, cinematographer, art director, cast and crew that Iyengar gathered over an 18-month period during the production of the film.
In general, under section 105 of the Copyright Act, such works are not entitled to domestic copyright protection under U.S. law and are therefore in the public domain.
For example, government publications may include works copyrighted by a contractor or grantee; copyrighted material assigned to the U.S. Government; or copyrighted information from other sources.
The contention of the defendant that the Government's ownership of the manuscripts made them available for publication by anyone was denied.
The Printing Law of 1895, which was designed to centralize in the Government Printing Office the printing, binding, and distribution of Government documents, contained the first statutory prohibition of copyright in Government publications.
The Sections of the Copyright Act that now govern U.S. Government work were enacted in 1976 as part of the Copyright Act of 1976.
This in no way suggests to the public that the bulk of the work is uncopyrightable and therefore free for use.
The Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988 amended the law to make the use of a copyright notice optional on copies of works published on and after March 1, 1989 and also revised Section 403.
Including the notice, however, does continue to confer certain benefits, notably in the challenging a defendant's claim of innocent infringement, where the question of proper notice may be a factor in assessing damages in infringement actions.
Under the FAR general data rights clause (FAR 52.227-14), the government has unlimited rights in all data first produced in performance of or delivered under a contract, unless the contractor asserts a claim to copyright or the contract provides otherwise.
Unless provided otherwise by an Agency FAR Supplement, a contractor may assert claim to copyright in scientific and technical articles based on or containing data first produced in the performance of a contract and published in academic, technical or professional journals, symposia proceedings, or the like.
The express written permission of the Contracting Officer is required before the contractor may assert or enforce the copyright in all other works first produced in the performance of a contract.
However, if a contract includes Alternate IV of the clause, the Contracting Officer's approval is not required to assert claim to copyright.
Whenever the contractor asserts claim to copyright in works other than computer software, the government, and others acting on its behalf, are granted a license to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute, perform and display the copyrighted work.
Copyright law's definition of work of the United States government does not include work that the government owns but did not create.
For example, in 1837, the federal government purchased former U.S. President James Madison's manuscripts from his widow, Dolley Madison, for $30,000.
If this is construed as covering copyright as well as the physical papers, it would be an example of such a transfer.
Most USPS materials, artwork, and design and all postage stamps as of January 1, 1978, or after are subject to copyright laws.
Works of the former United States Post Office Department are in the public domain (due to its former position as a cabinet department).
The lack of copyright protection for works of the United States government does not apply to works of U.S. subnational governments.
Some states have placed much of their work into the public domain by waiving some or all of their rights under copyright law.
Unorganized territories (such as American Samoa and the former Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands) are treated, for copyright purposes, as the U.S. government.
Certain works, particularly logos and emblems of government agencies, while not copyrightable, are still protected by other laws that are similar in effect to trademark laws.
For example, some uses of the Central Intelligence Agency logo, name, and initialism are regulated under the CIA Act of 1949 ().
It was dipped in vinegar (or in some translations sour wine), most likely posca, a favorite beverage of Roman soldiers, and offered to Christ to drink from during the Crucifixion, according to , , and .
She collected their blood with a sponge and placed it in a well, where she herself was later buried, marked by the disk in the Basilica's floor.
This sponge remained in Constantinople until it was bought from the Latin emperor Baldwin II by Louis IX of France among the relics he needed for the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris.
Acer micranthum, the small-leaved maple, is a species of flowering plant in the family Sapindaceae in the snakebark maple group, native to Japan, on Honshū, Kyūshū and Shikoku.
The leaves are 4–10 cm long and 2–8 cm broad, palmately lobed, with five deeply toothed lobes with long acuminate tips and double-serrated margins, and with distinctive tufts of orange-red hairs in the main vein axils at the base of the leaf; the petiole is 2–5 cm long.
The flowers are produced in early summer in racemes 4–10 cm long, each flower 4 mm diameter, with five yellow to greenish-yellow sepals and petals; it is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate trees.
The fruit is a paired samara with two rounded nutlets, each with a wing 1.5–2 cm long; the two wings spreading almost horizontally from each other.
Mpe was born in the northern city of Polokwane in Tiragalong, and moved to Johannesburg at the age of 19 to attend university.
Due to his lack of money he ended up living in the deprived inner city area of Hillbrow, a place where he later set his first novel.
The novel is striking in that the problems created by apartheid are in the background; the central problems of black South Africans are those of their own making: xenophobia, mean-spirited gossip, witchcraft, and the inability to fully love each other or themselves.
Before his death he embarked on doctorate studies on sexuality in post-apartheid South African literature with a particular focus on these two issues.
Mpe died suddenly at the age of 34, at the time he was about to begin training as a traditional healer.
At the time of his death Mpe was teaching African literature and publishing studies in the school of literature and languages studies in the University of the Witwatersrand.
Penikese Island entered the historical record in 1602 AD when the English explorer Bartholomew Gosnold and some of his crew visited the island.
Originally tree covered, at some later time the tree cover was lost, and the island was later used for pasturing sheep.
In early 1873, Louis Agassiz, the famous Swiss-American naturalist, persuaded Anderson to give him the island and $50,000 to endow a school for natural history where students would study nature instead of books.
The school was closed following a fire in 1875, but some of the former students opened in 1888 the Marine Biological Laboratory, in nearby Woods Hole.
In 1904, following local opposition to two previously selected sites on the mainland, the state of Massachusetts purchased the island for $25,000 to use as a leprosy hospital to isolate and treat all Massachusetts residents with the disease.
After being open for 16 years, it was closed in 1921 and the thirteen patients were transferred to the federal leprosy hospital in Carville, Louisiana.
At the closing of the hospital, the state burnt and then dynamited the buildings, and all that remains of it is are stone gate posts and a small cemetery.
A residential school for special-needs juvenile boys was opened in 1973, so at any time, there may be school staff and some students on the island.
There may also be visitors and researchers on island from time to time, as the island is publicly owned and is still used at times for biological research.
Beginning in 1990, the island was used as a test site for efforts to reintroduce the endangered American burying beetle, which appears to have succeeded; by 1997 the population had persisted for at least five generations since the last release.
Though largely a matinee idol in the 1930s and early 1940s and known for his striking looks, Power starred in films in a number of genres, from drama to light comedy.
In the 1950s he began placing limits on the number of films he would make in order to devote more time for theater productions.
Power was descended from a long Irish theatrical line going back to his great-grandfather, the Irish actor and comedian Tyrone Power (1795–1841).
Through his paternal great-grandmother, Anne Gilbert, Power was related to the actor Laurence Olivier; through his paternal grandmother, stage actress Ethel Lavenu, he was related by marriage to author Evelyn Waugh; and through his father's first cousin, Norah Emily Gorman Power, he was related to the theatrical director Sir (William) Tyrone Guthrie, founder of the Stratford Festival in Canada and the Tyrone Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Upon his graduation, he opted to join his father to learn what he could about acting from one of the stage's most respected actors.
Power joined his father for the summer of 1931, after being separated from him for some years due to his parents' divorce.
He went door to door, trying to find work as an actor, and, while many contacts knew his father well, they offered praise for his father but no work for his son.
Discouraged, he took the advice of a friend, Arthur Caesar, to go to New York to gain experience as a stage actor.
Despite his own reservations, Darryl F. Zanuck decided to give Power the role, once King and Fox editor Barbara McLean convinced him that Power had a greater screen presence than Ameche.
He walked into the premiere of the movie an unknown and he walked out a star, which he remained the rest of his career.
He attended boot camp at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, then Officer's Candidate School at Marine Corps Base Quantico, where he was commissioned a second lieutenant on June 2, 1943.
As he had already logged 180 solo hours as a pilot before enlisting, he was able to do a short, intense flight training program at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas.
The Marine Corps considered Power over the age limit for active combat flying, so he volunteered for piloting cargo planes that he felt would get him into active combat zones.
In July 1944, Power was assigned to Marine Transport Squadron (VMR)-352 as a R5C (Navy version of Army Curtiss Commando C-46) transport co-pilot at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina.
From there, he flew missions carrying cargo in and wounded Marines out during the Battles of Iwo Jima (Feb-Mar 1945) and Okinawa (Apr-Jun 1945).
For his services in the Pacific War, Power was awarded the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with two bronze stars, and the World War II Victory Medal.
Darryl F. Zanuck was reluctant for Power to make the movie because his handsome appearance and charming manner had been marketable assets for the studio for years.
The movie was directed by Edmund Goulding, and though it died at the box office, it was one of Power's favorite roles for which he received some of the best reviews of his career.
So, he did not publicize it and removed it from release after only a few weeks insisting that it was a flop.
Power was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with his costume roles, and he struggled between being a star and becoming a great actor.
The tour culminated in a run of 65 shows between February and April 1953 at the New Century Theatre on Broadway.
A second national tour with the show began in October 1953, this time for four months, and with Raymond Massey and Anne Baxter.
Fox now gave Power permission to seek his own roles outside the studio, on the understanding that he would fulfill his fourteen-film commitment to them in between his other projects.
Between November 1954 and April 1955, Power toured the United States and Canada in the role, ending with 12 weeks at the ANTA Theater, New York, and two weeks at the Colonial Theater, Boston.
Power was one of Hollywood's most eligible bachelors until he married French actress Annabella (born Suzanne Georgette Charpentier) on July 14, 1939.
She explained that the war clouds over Europe made her unhappy and irritable, and to get her mind off her troubles, she began accepting stage work, which often took her away from home.
The couple tried to make their marriage work when Power returned from military service, but they were unable to do so.
Following his separation from Annabella, Power entered into a love affair with Lana Turner that lasted for a couple of years.
In her 1982 autobiography, Turner claimed that she became pregnant with Power's child in 1948, but chose to have an abortion.
They flew with a crew to various locations in Europe and South Africa, often mobbed by fans when they hit the ground.
Turner also claimed that it could not have been a coincidence that Linda Christian was at the same hotel as Tyrone Power and implied that Christian had obtained Power's itinerary from 20th Century Fox.
Power and Christian were married on January 27, 1949, in the Church of Santa Francesca Romana, with an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 screaming fans outside.
In her autobiography, Christian blamed the breakup of her marriage on her husband's extramarital affairs, but acknowledged that she had had an affair with Edmund Purdom, which created great tension between Christian and her husband.
At the time, he vowed that he would never marry again, because he had been twice burned financially by his previous marriages.
They were married on May 7, 1958, and she became pregnant soon after with, Tyrone Power Jr., the son he had always wanted.
Power had filmed about 75 percent of his scenes when he was stricken by a massive heart attack while filming a dueling scene with his frequent co-star and friend, George Sanders.
Power was interred at Hollywood Forever Cemetery (then known as Hollywood Cemetery) in a military service at noon on Flying over the service was Henry King.
It was then that Power had his first experience of flying, which became a big part of his life, both in the U.S. Marines and as a civilian.
It stated his wish that, upon his death, his eyes be donated to the Estelle Doheny Eye Foundation, for such purposes as the trustees of the foundation should deem advisable, including transplantation of the cornea to the eyes of a living person or for retinal study.
For Power's contribution to motion pictures, he was honored in 1960 with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame that can be found at 6747 Hollywood Blvd.
On the 50th anniversary of his death, Power was honored by American Cinematheque with a weekend of films and remembrances by co-stars and family as well as a memorabilia display at the Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles from November 14–16, 2008.
Pharmatex is marketed in France and the province of Quebec; Protectaid in the rest of Canada and Europe; and Today in the United States.
First, the sponge is inserted into the vagina, so it can cover the cervix and prevent any sperm from entering the uterus.
Sponges can provide contraception for multiple acts of intercourse over a 24 hour period, but cannot be reused beyond that time or once removed.
The manufacturer of the Today sponge reports effectiveness for prevention of pregnancy of 89% to 91% when used correctly and consistently.
Other sources cite poorer effectiveness rates for women who have given birth: 74% during correct and consistent use, and 68% during typical use.
Following several delays, the Today brand became available again in Canada in March 2003, and in the U.S. in September 2005.
After the manufacturer's parent company declared bankruptcy in 2007, production was shut down again, until the new manufacturer, Mayer Laboratories Ltd., reintroduced Today to the U.S. market in 2009.
Protectaid contains 5,000 mg of the F-5 gel, with three active ingredients (6.25 mg of nonoxynol-9, 6.25 mg of benzalkonium chloride, and 25 mg of sodium cholate).
The Today sponge contains the spermicide nonoxynol-9, which may contain certain risks for those using the sponge multiple times a day, or for those at risk for HIV.
In these cases, nonoxynol-9 can irritate the tissue, which leads to an increased risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
It is located on the eighth floor of the flagship downtown Toronto location of the Canadian department store The Bay at Yonge and Queen Streets.
The Arcadian Court was intended to compete with the Royal York Hotel's Imperial Room, the Georgian Room at the main Eaton's store, and the Eaton's Seventh Floor on College Street (now called The Carlu) for downtown lunch business.
The restaurant hosted many of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra's first radio broadcasts, and in 1967, it hosted the first auction ever held outside Britain by Sotheby's.
From 1988 to 1989, some of the mezzanine space was converted to gallery space, which displayed the Canadian art collection of Kenneth Thomson.
This gallery space was closed in 2004, and the Thomson collection was transferred to the Art Gallery of Ontario and now displayed as the Thomson Collection.
The renovations have stripped back layers of walls and flooring that have been added over the years, reclaiming approximately the perimeter.
Eight of the 16 grand arches in the mezzanine that were closed off in past renovations were reopened and the squared-off arches were restored.
The Court is now with improved acoustics, new chandeliers that are a deconstructed take on the original Lalique crystal chandeliers and an opened-up mezzanine.
Corio Bay is one of numerous bays in the southwest corner of Australia's Port Phillip, and is the bay on which abuts the City of Geelong.
The Port of Geelong is located on the shores of Corio Bay, and is the sixth largest port in Australia by tonnage.
Before the initial settlement of Geelong, a sandbar across the bay from Point Lillias to Point Henry prevented ships from entering the inner harbour.
The bay is also the home of the Royal Geelong Yacht Club that was established in 1859, and the adjacent Bay City Marina that was constructed in the 1980s.
Henry Timrod (December 8, 1829 – October 7, 1867) was an American poet, often called the poet laureate of the Confederacy.
The elder Timrod died from tuberculosis on July 28, 1838, in Charleston, at the age of 44, leaving behind his wife of 25 years, Thyrza Prince Timrod, and their four children, the eldest of which was Adaline Rebecca, 14 years; Henry was nine.
In 1856, he accepted a posting as a teacher at the plantation of Colonel William Henry Cannon in the area that would later become Florence, South Carolina.
With the outbreak of American Civil War, in a state of fervent patriotism, Timrod returned to Charleston to begin publishing his war poems, which drew many young men to enlist in the service of the Confederacy.
On March 1, 1862, Timrod enlisted into the military as a private in Company B, 20th South Carolina Regiment, and was detailed for special duty as a clerk at regimental headquarters, but his tuberculosis prevented much service, and he was sent home.
Due to the vigor of his editorials, he was forced into hiding, his home was burned, and the newspaper office was destroyed.
This lasted less than a month, after which he was again dependent on charity and odd jobs to feed his family of women.
He finally succumbed to consumption Sunday morning, October 7, 1867, and was laid to rest in the churchyard at Trinity Episcopal Church in Columbia next to his son.
Later critics of Timrod's writings, including Edd Winfield Parks and Guy A. Cardwell, Jr. of the University of Georgia, Jay B. Hubbell of Vanderbilt University and Christina Murphy, who completed a Ph.D. dissertation on Timrod at the University of Connecticut, have asserted that Timrod was one of the most important regional poets of nineteenth-century America and one of the most important Southern poets.
In terms of achievement, Timrod is often compared to Sidney Lanier and John Greenleaf Whittier as poets who achieved significant stature by combining lyricism with a poetic capacity for nationalism.
Today, Timrod's poetry is included in most of the historical anthologies of American poetry, and he is regarded as a significant—though secondary—figure in 19th-century American literature.
Acceptance of business casual in the United States was preceded by Casual Fridays which originated in California in the 1990s, in turn inspired by the Hawaiian 1960s casual custom of Aloha Friday.
One definition of business casual states that it includes khaki pants, slacks, and skirts, as well as short-sleeved polo shirts and long-sleeved shirts, but excludes jeans, tight or short skirts, T-shirts, and sweatshirts.
Another source, an American university careers service, states that business casual consists of neutral colors more towards the dark shades of black, gray, navy, but can include white and off white, and reminds that the clothing should be pressed and have clean, crisp seams.
It is the largest bat species in the New World, as well as the largest carnivorous bat: its wingspan is .
Due to habitat destruction and its low population density, it is listed as a near-threatened species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The genus and species names were not used in their current combination until biologist George Gilbert Goodwin did so in 1942.
The spectral bat is included within the subfamily Phyllostominae, which includes species of diverse feeding strategies, including carnivory, insectivory and mixed insectivory/frugivory.
The spectral bat is the largest bat species native to the New World and the largest carnivorous bat in the world.
The forearm is furred on the half closer to the body, but naked on the half closer to the wrist and fingers.
While six of its molars have three cusps, as in many mammal species, the last upper molars are reduced to two cusps; they are much smaller than the other molars.
The brain is large relative to the body; at 1:67, its brain-to-body mass ratio is higher than that of cats and dogs.
The brain has well-developed olfactory bulbs and its cerebellum is the most ornamented and complex of any member of its subfamily.
It was once thought to supplement its diet with fruit, but a captive pair refused to eat any fruit over a 5-year period.
Its diet can be studied passively because it carries prey items back to its roost to consume, discarding unwanted parts such as bird feathers, bat wings, and rodent tails.
Over the course of a year, 18 bird species were identified from feathers left under a roost in Costa Rica: based on the assemblage, it prefers non-perching bird species that weigh .
The groove-billed ani, which both has a strong smell and roosts in groups, is a particularly common prey item, representing approximately 24-26 of the 86 prey items identified in the study.
Because its prey items can be so large, it may only need to consume one bird every two or three nights to meet its caloric requirements.
The spectral bat uses echolocation to navigate, creating short pulses of ultrasound at relatively low frequencies; its echolocation characteristics are suited for maneuvering around obstacles while flying low to the ground.
Its foraging style has been compared to owls; it likely uses its agile and maneuverable wings to hover as it plucks prey items off the ground or tree branches.
It stalks the prey and then lands on it from above, securing the prey by hooking it with its sharp thumb claws.
In a study of the wing morphology of 51 Neotropical bat species, the spectral bat had the lowest wing loading (body mass to wing area ratio) at 20.05.
Low wing loading is advantageous for carnivorous bats because it allows them to pick up prey items from the ground and fly with them.
Its wing structure allows it to take flight in confined spaces and to carry heavy prey items, despite the bat's size.
Additionally, it is one of two known species of bat where the males provide parental care, the other being the yellow-winged bat.
Males have relatively small testes—as a monogamous species, there is not generally sperm competition, so males can save energy by producing less sperm.
It is a seasonal breeder, with females giving birth at the end of the dry season or the beginning of the rainy season.
The male is often in attendance as well and will frequently sleep with both the female and their young completely wrapped up in his wings.
The extent of natural depredation upon spectral bats is unknown, but spectral bat remains were once documented in a western barn owl pellet in Oaxaca, Mexico.
An examination of one colony of five individuals consisted of an adult male and female, a nursing pup, and a juvenile male and female.
The juvenile male was estimated to be six months old; he was presumed to be the older offspring of the adults, while the female was also possibly their offspring.
Though it was initially believed to only roost in trees, it was first documented using a cave as a roost in 2008.
Its average lifespan is unknown; however, it is believed that the same individual roosted in a cave from 2008 until at least 2016 based on a unique ear pigmentation, making lifespans of at least 8 years possible.
Its range includes Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela.
It has been documented at elevations from above sea level, though in Mexico it is only found in lowland areas of below .
Ladysmith, originally Oyster Harbour, is a town located on the 49th parallel north on the east coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
James Dunsmuir founded Ladysmith about 1898, a year after he built shipping wharves for loading coal at Oyster Harbour (now Ladysmith Harbour) from the mine at Extension, nearer Nanaimo.
He chose to build the community at what was then known as Oyster Harbour, some 20 miles (32 km) south of his Extension mines.
In 1900, Dunsmuir renamed the town in honour of the British lifting the siege of Ladysmith in South Africa (28 February 1900) during the Second Boer War.
In addition to commemorating the end of the war by naming his town after Ladysmith, Dunsmuir also chose to name the streets of the community after British military personnel including: Field Marshall Lord Roberts, General John French, General Redvers Buller, General Sir Charles Warren, General Sir George White, Horatio Herbert Kitchener, Lieutenant-General Sir William Forbes Gatacre, Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, Major General Lord Methuen, and Sir William Penn Symonds.
The Seaforth Highlanders first saw active service in the summer of 1912 when rallies by striking coal miners in the area around Nanaimo led to rioting.
The area has three elementary schools: Ladysmith Primary School (Kindergarten to Grade 3), Ladysmith Intermediate School (Grade 4 to Grade 7), and École North Oyster Elementary (Kindergarten to Grade 7).
The concept of a dwelling has significance in relation to search and seizure, conveyancing of real property, burglary, trespass, and land-use planning.
Under English law, a dwelling is defined as a self-contained 'substantial' unit of accommodation, such as a building, part of a building, caravan, houseboat or other mobile home.
The term includes an individual condominium unit, cooperative unit, manufactured home, mobile home, or trailer if it is used as a residence.
In international conventions, a person can have only one habitual residence, being the place where the individual ordinarily resides and routinely returns to after visiting other places for a reasonably significant period of time.
The Hague Conference on Private International Law has deliberately refrained from offering a definition so that the concept may be flexible and adaptable to practical requirements.
Therefore, it would no longer be considered a dwelling for legal purposes, which from a defense standpoint, would negate a conviction under this code.
For prosectors, it is advantageous to construe these terms loosely in order to secure as many convictions as possible for violation of this code.
Examples of loose interpretation exist not only in California, but also in other states such as Colorado where similar code (Colorado Code § 18-1-901(3)(g)) applies in cases even when a shooting at an detached garage that does not traditionally constitute a dwelling or house.
However, courts in both of these states and others have held that it does qualify as an occupied building for purposes of criminal conviction.
It delineates the boundary within which a home owner can have a reasonable expectation of privacy with particular relevance to search and seizure, conveyancing of real property, burglary, trespass, and land use planning.
In urban properties, the location of the curtilage may be evident from the position of fences, wall and similar; within larger properties it may be a matter of some legal debate as to where the private area ends and any 'open fields beyond'.
Għar Dalam Cave is a highly important site, as it was here that the earliest evidence of human presence on Malta was discovered.
The display area consists of two parts: the cave and the museum, which exhibits a remarkable wealth of finds from animal bones to human artifacts.
These temple ruins are important because they reveal not only a four-apse temple (c.2000 BC), but an authentic, fortified Bronze Age domestic settlement.
The remains of a large, defensive wall lie nearby, running across the head of a promontory between two valleys leading down to two bays.
This logistic situation leads scholars to believe that the people living in the village were more afraid of being attacked by invaders by land rather than from the sea.
Archaeologists think that this could have been due to no agricultural produce, civil warfare, or the Neolithic population being murdered by war-like tribes.
In addition to prehistoric sites, the town includes historical structures and remains that date back centuries, revealing changing peoples as the island went through different periods of domination by various political interests.
These sites date back to the rule of the Order of Saint John, who ruled the Maltese islands from 1530 to 1798.
During the last decade, there has been an influx of new workers employed at the nearby Malta Freeport and container terminal.
The X4 passes every 30 minutes to Birzebbuga, 80 every one hour and 82 passes every 15 minutes during the rush hour and 20-30 minutes at other times.
There are two other routes that pass from Birzebbuga; route 210 that travels to and from Mater Dei Hospital and the University of Malta; and route 119 which travels through Birzebbuga and ends at the Malta International Airport and Marsascala.
The blue represents the nearby waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the olive branch the major importance of olives to the local economy, in former times.
Birzebbuga St. Peters' is also in a collaboration with a newly found futsal team, Birzebbuga St. Peters' FC Futsal, which is competing in the Maltese Futsal Fourth Division Section A .
The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD or UT Dallas) is a public research university with its main campus in Richardson, Texas.
Approximately one-third of the campus is located within Dallas County, with plans to open an on-campus DART train stop on the Silver Line (2022).
The institution, established in 1961 as the Graduate Research Center of the Southwest and later renamed the Southwest Center for Advanced Studies (SCAS), began as a research arm of Texas Instruments.
The university is associated with four Nobel Prizes, and has members of the National Academy of Science and National Academy of Engineering on its faculty.
The University of Texas at Dallas offers more than 140 academic programs across its eight schools and hosts more than 50 research centers and institutes.
From July 2017 to June 2018, the university granted 3,907 bachelor's degrees, 3,698 master's degrees, and 231 PhDs for a total of 7,836 degrees.
The school has a Division III athletics program in the American Southwest Conference and fields 14 intercollegiate teams including a co-ed varsity eSports program.
Before they founded UT Dallas, Eugene McDermott, Cecil Howard Green and J. Erik Jonsson had purchased Geophysical Service Incorporated (GSI) on December 6, 1941 – the day before the attack on Pearl Harbor.
With the rapid increase in defense contracts, the General Instrument Division of GSI grew substantially and was later reorganized under the name Texas Instruments, Inc. (TI) in 1951.
However, qualified personnel required by TI were not readily available in the Dallas-Fort Worth area because the region's universities did not provide enough graduates with advanced training in engineering and physical sciences.
To compensate for a shortage, McDermott, Green, and Jonsson established the Graduate Research Center of the Southwest on February 14, 1961.
While the institute initially was housed in the Fondren Science Library at Southern Methodist University, a nearby empty cotton field was later acquired by Jonsson, McDermott, and Green in Richardson, TX in 1962.
Preston Smith signed House Bill 303, which added the institution to the University of Texas System and created the University of Texas at Dallas (effective September 1st 1969).
Founded at the dawn of the Information Age and steeped in science and technology, The University of Texas at Dallas has been more intent on creating the future than on preserving its history.
As a result, not all relevant early historical details were documented carefully and fully; which is a reflection of the nature of a youthful institution's disregard for archiving.
This allowed the campus to expand with the addition of a number of new facilities including most notable the Cecil H. Green Hall, the Eugene McDermott Library, and a campus bookstore.
The school received accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1972, and the first diplomas were awarded in 1973.
The Callier Center for Communication Disorders became part of the UTD in 1975 and the School of Management opened in 1975.
Robert H. Rutford, an Antarctic explorer recognized with the naming of the Rutford Ice Stream and Mount Rutford in Antarctica, became the second president of UT Dallas in May 1982.
During his tenure as president, the university secured approval for a school of engineering, added freshmen and sophomores to its student body, and built the first on-campus housing.
The chess club and debate program were founded in 1996, and later began offering academic scholarships for those skilled in either area.
UT Dallas' ceremonial mace contains a university seal surrounding a wafer embedded with Texas Instruments microchips, representing TI's role in the founding of the college.
A steel band in the headpiece and the metal foot of the staff fashioned from a scientific instrument designed by the UT Dallas Space Sciences Institute and were flown aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor in September 1995.
He previously served on the faculty at UT Austin and was the Dean of Engineering at the University of Illinois from 2001 to 2005.
He has continued the expansion of the campus by adding the Natural Science and Engineering Research Laboratory, the Center for BrainHealth (near the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center), and almost 600,000 square feet (56,000 m2) of new facilities added from 2007 to 2010.
In November 2008, improvements included the addition of a tree-lined pathway to an entrance roundabout, and created a central mall area on campus that featured reflecting pools lined with magnolia trees, a chess plaza, the plinth, and misting column.
In July 2001, the 77th Texas legislature failed to pass two proposed bills which had very different plans for the future of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex UT System intuitions.
It would have established UT Dallas (UTD) in Richardson, TX as the main flagship campus, UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas (UTSW) as its medical school, and would have designated UT Arlington (UTA) as a UT Dallas satellite campus (a situation similar to UT Rio Grande Valley).
The purpose of the bill was to consolidate all DFW UT System institutions into one, creating single cohesive flagship-level university for the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
However, the bill was unpopular with supporters of UT Arlington (because they wanted to retain their identity as a separate institution from UT Dallas) and the House Bill ultimately failed to pass.
The second plan, 77(R) HB 3607 proposed by Domingo Garcia, would have transferred UT Dallas, UT Southwestern, and UT Arlington to the University of North Texas System (to create something similar to the University of Houston System).
The Denton, TX campus would have remained as the flagship university while the 3 Dallas-Fort Worth UT System institutions would have been designated as separate degree-granting sister UNT System colleges.
The law was left pending due to objections from both UT Arlington and UT Dallas, as both preferred to remain under the UT System.
Previously he was Dean of the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech University, which saw record growth from 2005 to 2016 after the number of engineering applicants nearly doubled during his tenure.
He has continued the expansion of the UTD campus with the addition of The Bioengineering and Sciences Building, The Engineering & Computer Science West Building, a new Science Building, The Davidson-Gundy Alumni Center, and Northside Phase 1 & 2 (the first on-campus apartments with first floor retail space).
Since 2016, UT Dallas' national US News ranking has jumped up from 140 to 129, tying it with University of Missouri, University of Kansas, University of Alabama, University of Nebraska – Lincoln, and Catholic University of America (most of which are current or former members of the Association of American Universities).
Undergraduate applications have increased by 5%, undergraduate enrollment has increased by 16%, 6-year graduation rates increased by 4.5%, freshman retention rates have improved from 84% to 87%, and UTD was ranked #1 among universities under 50 years old.
It is typically used to retain UT Dallas’ identity across digital platforms, as the primary logo does not adapt well to mobile devices or smaller screens.
In 2018, the University inherited the Barrett collection of Swiss art which will be housed in a new building as part of the Edith O'Donnell Institute of Art History.
In January 2019, the family of Trammell and Margaret Crow donated the entire collection of the Crow Museum of Asian Art to the University of Texas at Dallas, along with $23 million in support funding to help build a structure on the university campus to show more of the artworks.
1969), 44 years of undergraduate Junior/Senior enrollment (since 1975), 29 years of incoming Freshman enrollment (since 1990), and 58 years as a research center (founded in 1961).
Additionally, the Online MBA's Graduate Business program was ranked 2nd nationally (1st in Texas), and the MBA specialty of information systems was ranked 16th nationally (2nd in Texas).
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the U.S. Geological Survey designated the program a Center of Academic Excellence, the only one in Texas and one of 17 nationwide.
In a 2012 study, assessing the academic impact of publications, the UTD's program in Criminology was ranked 5th in the whole world.
UT Dallas is also home to the #2 Most-Cited Criminologist, Dr. Alex Piquero and one of the Top Women in Criminology, Dr. Nicole Leeper Piquero.
The Naveen Jindal School of Management (Jindal or JSOM) annually releases its own ranking list for business schools based on research quantity and frequency.
For fall 2015, the University of Texas at Dallas offered 138 academic programs across its eight schools including 48 baccalaureate programs, 57 master's programs and 31 doctoral programs.
In 2018 overall ethnicity population proportions, including undergraduate and graduate students, was White American 29%, Asian American 25%, International 20%, Hispanic 14%, African American 5%.

The top majors among undergraduates are biology, computer science, arts and technology, accounting, business administration, mechanical engineering, finance, neuroscience, psychology, and electrical engineering.
In the fall 2017–18 academic year, UTD enrolled 160 National Merit Scholars in its freshmen class, which was the highest total number in Texas and one of the highest in the nation.
The fall 2017 entering freshmen class had an average SAT composite score of 1323 and an average ACT composite score of 29.
These freshman SAT/ACT scores are the highest averages in UTD's history – which surpassed Texas A&M's and matched UT Austin's averages of that year.
For spring 2018 commencement, the university granted 2,314 bachelor's degrees, 2,109 master's degrees and 99 doctoral degrees for a total of 4,843 degrees.
For the fall 2017 incoming freshmen class, the awards range from $3,000 per year for tuition and mandatory fees up to complete coverage of UT Dallas tuition and mandatory fees plus $3,000 per semester cash stipend to defray the costs of books, supplies and other expenses.
The McDermott Scholars Program, established at UT Dallas in 2000, provides full scholarships and unique cultural and civic opportunities to academically talented high school students.
The National Merit Scholars Program, established at UT Dallas in 2011, provides professional and cultural development, full tuition and mandatory fees and a generous additional stipend.
The Terry Scholars Program is a cohort experience that offers academic, cultural, service, mentoring, and other unique opportunities to traditional and transfer students awarded the prestigious scholarship.
The university has more than 50 research centers and institutes and the UTD Office of Technology Commercialization, a technology transfer center.
The William B. Hanson Center for Space Studies (CSS), affiliated with the Department of Physics, conducts research in space plasma physics.
The center conducts a NASA-sponsored mission, Coupled Ion-Neutral Dynamics Investigation (CINDI), which was launched in April 2008 in cooperation with the United States Air Force.
CINDI, which is part of the payload for the Communication and Navigation Outage Forecast System program, seeks to uncover information about the equatorial plasma bubbles that interrupt radio signals.
Under the leadership of John H. Hoffman, the center designed the mass spectrometer for the Phoenix Mars Lander as part of the Thermal and Evolved Gas Analyzer (TEGA) experiment in cooperation with the University of Arizona.
UT Dallas conducts cybersecurity research in a number of areas including cross-domain information sharing, data security and privacy, data mining for malware detection, geospatial information security, secure social networks, and secure cloud computing.
The university is designated a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Research for the academic years 2008–2013 by the National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security.
The Alan G. MacDiarmid NanoTech Institute was established in 2001 when Ray Baughman, a pioneering nanotechnologist, became the Robert A. Welch Distinguished Chair in Chemistry and director of the university's NanoTech Institute.
In 2007, it was renamed in memory of the late Alan G. MacDiarmid, who shared the 2000 Nobel Prize in chemistry with Alan Heeger and Hideki Shirakawa.
The Natural Science and Engineering Research Laboratory (NSERL), a four-story, research facility, was completed in December 2006 after two years of construction.
Including ISO 7 cleanroom facilities, the $85 million building provides open floor plans that allows chemists, biologists, nanotechnologists, materials scientists and other specialists to conduct multidisciplinary research.
The Nanoelectronics Materials Laboratory, on the fourth floor, includes a system that allows researchers to deposit thin film materials one atomic layer at a time.
In May 2011 a $3 million JEOL ARM200F scanning transmission electron microscope with an atomic resolution of 0.78 picometers, was added to the research laboratory, already home to two transmission electron microscopes.
The Center for BrainHealth, both its own facility and part of the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, is a research institute with clinical interventions focused on brain health.
The center is located near the UT Dallas' Callier Center for Communication Disorders and adjacent to the north campus of University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in the city of Dallas.
Brain research is concentrated on brain conditions, diseases, and disorders including, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, autism, dementia, stroke, traumatic brain injury, and working memory.
The Callier Center for Communication Disorders became part of the University of Texas at Dallas in 1975 as part of the School of Human Development (now the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences).
Research, at the center, includes the causes, prevention, assessment and treatment of communication disorders and the facilities include laboratories for research in child language development and disorders, autism spectrum disorders, speech production, hearing disorders, neurogenic speech and language, cochlear implants and aural habilitation.
Harold Clarke, the Ashbel Smith professor of political science in the School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences, and Marianne Stewart, professor of political science are the co-principal investigators for the study, which began in 1964 and is one of the world's oldest continuous political research projects.
The main campus is located in Richardson, Texas next to Dallas' Telecom Corridor, north of downtown Dallas, on the boundary of Dallas and Collin counties.
While the main campus' address is officially within the jurisdiction of Richardson and Collin county, approximately one-third of the college today (one-half in 1969) is physically located within the border of Dallas county (which the city of Dallas typically governs).
This section contains major areas in the south end of campus, including the Visitor Center, Bookstore, the Naveen Jindal School of Management, Athletics District and facilities, half of the Founders Building, parking lots, and some on-campus student housing (Canyon Creek and University Village buildings 1, 2, and 3).
When UT Dallas started growing in the 1960s, the university needed to coordinate with one of the cities for water, electricity, sewer, police, and fire services.
Dallas agreed to let Richardson officially host the university because it did not have the ability or capacity to support UTD at the time (a situation similar to SMU and University Park).
Today, UT Dallas and Richardson share a close relationship and have strongly supported each other's growth for the past 50 years.
Early architecture on the campus (late 20th century) exhibits typical characteristics of Brutalism, a popular civic style when the structures were designed and built.
Most of these buildings are concentrated towards the north end of the Mall area, the most notable being the Founders Building, Eugene McDermott Library, and Administration Building.
Later architecture (early 21st century) exhibits late modern or postmodern features such as bronze glass, bronze aluminum frames, unadorned geometric shapes, unusual surfaces, and unorthodox layouts.
This styling is seen in the Engineering and Computer Science building, School of Management, Cecil and Ida Green Center, and Natural Science and Engineering Research Lab facility (called the Mermaid Building due to its colorful anodized shingles).
To provide protection from inclement weather and extreme temperatures, many of the buildings on campus are connected by a series of elevated indoor walking paths also referred to as skybridges.
The Student Services building, completed in 2010, is the first academic structure in Texas to be rated a LEED Platinum facility by the United States Green Building Council.
A $30 million Campus Landscape Enhancement Project, largely funded by Margaret McDermott (wife of UTD founder Eugene McDermott), was started in October 2008 and completed in late 2010.
The project encompassed all aspects of landscape architecture from campus identity to pedestrian strategies, future growth patterns, sustainability and establishing a campus core.
The next major enhancement a included the commitment to a riparian corridor, consisting of a densely planted natural creek bed along the central entry median to the campus Allée.
The main Mall (or 'Allée') includes 116 hand-picked columnar 'Claudia Wannamaker' Magnolias alongside five reflecting pools and four human-scale chess boards (to represent the achievements of the school's chess team).
The plaza includes a granite fountain complete with mist column, an overhead trellis covered in wisteria vines, and a temperature-modifying shade structure design.
The most recent major phase of the campus landscape upgrades began in 2013, which included to the main pedestrian walkways and corridors on campus, the outdoor space between the Founders and University Theatre buildings, and other areas on campus.
As a result of the Campus Enhancement Plan, the University was earned recognition by Tree Campus USA in the summer of 2017.
In order to maintain this designation, the University created the Tree Advisory Committee, a subcommittee of the Campus Sustainability Committee, and gave each tree a metal tag and GPS locator to manage tree health.
The first building on campus was the Laboratory of Earth & Planetary Science (completed in 1964), later renamed to the Founders Building.
Notable campus buildings added in the 20th century include the Eugene McDermott Library (1975), Student Union (1981), Administration Building (1988), Waterview Apartments (1989), and the Activity Center (1998).
Starting in 2009, UT Dallas began experiencing major growth due to a rapidly increasing undergraduate population, new research opportunities, and donations.
Campus culture is generally more academically inclined compared to other major Texas universities, as traditional athletic sports are not a major focus of the institution.
The university recruits worldwide for its chess team and 24 Grandmasters and International Masters have played for UT Dallas from 1996 to 2018.
The UTD chess team has won or tied for first place in the Pan-American Intercollegiate Chess Championship more than 10 times since 2000.
Students engaged in college debate devote hundreds of hours per season researching and defending a specific policy resolution, in the process gaining a graduate-level understanding of complex social and political issues.
Since 2019, UTD has made 16 consecutive appearances at the National Debate Tournament, which is attended by the 78 best teams in the country.
The University of Texas at Dallas opened the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life in 1992 with Kappa Sigma and Alpha Gamma Delta as the first fraternity and sorority on campus, respectively.
Each Greek organization is a member of one of the four councils on campus: the Interfraternity Council (IFC), the Collegiate Pan-Hellenic Council (CPC), the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), or the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC).
The IFC and CPC are the largest councils by number of students, while the MGC, third in population, is the largest by number of entities.
The Collegiate Pan-Hellenic Council (CPC) is composed of four women's sororities: Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Zeta, Kappa Alpha Theta.
Four of those nine entities are represented at UT Dallas: Alpha Kappa Alpha, Alpha Phi Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Sigma Gamma Rho.
Established in the Fall of 2002, The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), composed of both fraternities and sororities, is the largest of the four councils by number of entities.
Its member organizations are among the youngest national Greek organizations in the world and promote diversity among their membership, although some of them promote a specific cultural ethnicity or nationality.
The nine entities are: Beta Chi Theta, Delta Epsilon Psi, Delta Kappa Delta, Kappa Delta Chi, Lambda Theta Phi, Omega Delta Phi, Sigma Lambda Alpha, Sigma Lambda Gamma, Sigma Sigma Rho.
The radio station was nominated for three college radio awards at the 2010 College Music Journal annual Music Marathon and Festival.
The nominations were for the following categories: Best Use of the Internet, Best Use of Limited Resources and Station of the Year.
The apartment buildings 1–37, which make up 696 units and buildings 38–67, which make up 541 units, are owned by the university and privately managed by American Campus Communities under the name University Village.
Buildings 1–37, previously known as the Waterview Park Apartments, were owned by the Utley Foundation and purchased by UTD on July 1, 2013.
Apartment floor plans vary from 1-bedroom to 4-bedroom units and amenities include swimming pools, volleyball courts, outdoor grills, and study centers.
On August 12, 2009, a residence hall (Residence Hall South) opened, providing housing for 384 full-time freshmen residents and 16 peer advisers.
On each wing and each floor are several communal study areas and the ground floor features a glass-enclosed rotunda with pool and ping-pong tables, large-screen televisions, couches and chairs.
A second, residence hall, (Residence Hall North), was officially completed June 27, 2011, and a third freshman residence hall (Residence Hall Northwest) adjacent to the two existing halls was completed in August 2012.
The two complexes will offer a total of 800 beds and are expected to open in time for the fall 2017 semester.
In 2015, co-developers Balfour Beatty Campus Solutions and Wynne/Jackson began construction of a private mixed-use development known as Northside on leased university land directly adjacent to the main campus.
Opened in time for the fall 2016 semester, the development offers 600 beds through a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments and townhomes.
Northside also includes 20,000 square feet of space for retail and food vendors, bringing an integrated residential and retail complex to the edge of campus for the first time.
Students have a selection of food sources on campus, including commercial restaurants, primarily within the Student Union, and a traditional dining hall near the residence halls.
Firehouse Subs, Chick-fil-A, Moe's Southwest Grill, Smoothie King, Halal Guys, Torchy's Tacos, Panda Express, Starbucks, Einstein Bros. Bagels, and, IHOP are some of the most popular restaurants.
The Student Union dining hall opened on August 12, 2009 in conjunction with the opening of the first residence hall and was later replaced by a new dining hall within the Residence Hall West complex.
The former Student Union dining hall was later replaced by an extended food court area featuring an expanded Chick-fil-A and a Panda Express, among other options.
All first-year students living on campus are required to purchase a meal plan; meal plans are optional for all other students who live on campus.
Green has become representative several iconic landmarks – the (former) surrounding cotton field, the (current) on-campus magnolia trees, and the green neon color of the Dallas skyline at night produced from the Bank of America Plaza building.
Some of the traditions that give UT Dallas its distinctive flavor are Homecoming, Annual Oozeball Tournament, Ceremonial Mace, Legacy Lane, Welcome Week, Family Day, Splatterdance, Springapalooza and Cecil Green's Head.
Cecil Green helped found the University of Texas at Dallas and outside Green Hall there is a bronze bust of Cecil Green.
Holiday Sing is one of the oldest traditions on campus, the annual Holiday Sing started in 1976 and is hosted by the School of Arts and Humanities during the month of December.
Students and organizations are allowed to paint whatever they like on the rock, provided it conforms to rules of student conduct.

They are spread over the states of Madhya Pradesh, eastern Maharashtra (Vidarbha), Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar and Odisha.
The term was widely used in 1950s, but has now become almost obsolete, probably because of the political eclipse of the Gond Rajas.
By the 1991 census, this had increased to 9.3 million and by the 2001 census the figure was nearly 11 million.
Gondi people, at the behest of the Chhattisgarh government, formed the Salwa Judum, an armed militant group to fight the Naxalite insurgency.
Scholars believe that Gonds ruled in Gondwana, now in eastern Madhya Pradesh and western Odisha, between the 13th and 19th centuries AD.
The Marathas overthrew the Gond Rajas (princes) and seized most of their territory, while Some Gond zamindaris (estates) survived until recently.
Gonds worship a high god known as Baradeo, whose alternate names are Bhagavan, Sri Shambu Mahadeo, and Persa Pen, and Baradeo oversees activities of lesser gods such as clan and village deities, as well as ancestor.
Baradeo is respected but he does not receive fervent devotion, which is shown only to clan and village deities, as well as ancestor and totems.
Their typical reaction to death has been described as one of anger because they believe it is caused by magical demons.
On Dussehra, the Gondi inhabitants of Paraswadi carry an image of Ravana riding an elephant in a procession to worship him, and protest the burning of Ravana's effigies.
Their worship of Ravana is also a way to resist pressure from Christian missionaries and right-wing Hindu groups and preserve their own culture.
They are a designated Scheduled Tribe in Andhra Pradesh, parts of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana, Odisha and West Bengal.
The Government of Uttar Pradesh had classified the Gondi people as a Scheduled Caste but by 2007, they were one of several groups that the Uttar Pradesh government had redesignated as Scheduled Tribes.
GGP was formed in 1991 to plead for the rights of the Gondi people, and to establish a separate Indian state of Gondwana in central [[India].
Jack Hylton (born John Greenhalgh Hilton; 2 July 1892 – 29 January 1965) was an English pianist, composer, band leader and impresario.
He was born John Greenhalgh Hilton in Great Lever near Bolton, Lancashire, the son of George Hilton, a cotton yarn twister.
His father was an amateur singer at the local Labour Club and Hylton learned piano to accompany him on the stage.
His early career involved moving to London as a pianist in the 400 Club and playing with the Stroud Haxton Band.
During the First World War he moved to be a musical director of the band of the 20th Hussars, and later in the Army Entertainment Division.
After the First World War, Hylton formed a double act with Tommy Handley to little success, also collaborating in a number of short-lived stage shows.
After being dismissed by his own bandmates from the Queen's Hall in 1922, Hylton not only set up his own band, but also set up a number of other orchestras under the Jack Hylton Organisation.
Even though he was not professionally trained for business, he brought his band to success even at a time when the Great Depression hit hard during the 1930s.
His good reputation allowed him to make contacts with famous jazz artists of the time, and he was credited for bringing Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong and others to Britain and Europe in the 1930s.
Unlike many other bandleaders who took up residences at nightclubs and ballrooms, Hylton often embarked on lengthy tours of England, which ultimately moulded the concept most Britons had of jazz.
The following year he was decorated by the French government, recorded with Paul Robeson, and made the first transatlantic entertainment broadcast with Paul Whiteman and his orchestra.
In late 1933, Hylton left Decca after refusing to take a pay cut, not making records until 1935 when he rejoined HMV.
That same year, Hylton finally was able to perform in the United States; he had repeatedly attempted this for almost a decade, but had been opposed by the musicians' unions (a 1929 tour was cancelled at the last minute).
Standard Oil signed Hylton for a radio show on CBS, not only paying him and his star players, but also paying all expenses for those band members unable to play in the US.
Union pressure led him to return to the UK in 1936, although Pat O'Malley and Alec Templeton stayed in America, making a name for themselves.
Hylton and his band also made a number of appearances on BBC television in the 1930s, on one of which Ernie Wise made his television debut.
The Jack Hylton orchestra disbanded in 1940 as many of its members were called up for service, although Jack continued to conduct orchestras for radio in the years to come, leading the Glenn Miller Orchestra when it visited England in 1943.
This helped to keep the orchestra going when its normal programme had ceased and it was on the edge of bankruptcy.
At this point in his career he became an impresario, discovering new stars and managing radio, film and theatre productions, from ballets to circuses.
There were rumours in 1954 that he would stand for Parliament from Bolton, where he was a prominent member of the local Labour Party branch.
In November 1955, he was contracted as Advisor of Light Entertainment to Associated-Rediffusion (A-R), winner of the London weekday franchise in the recently established ITV network.
He founded Jack Hylton Television Productions, Ltd. in that same month to produce a range of light entertainment programming exclusively for A-R.
In spite of their popularity, however, the company's productions were of low quality, with performers even apologising in front of millions of viewers at times.
However, required annual precipitation depends on factors such as distribution of rainfall over the year, temperatures over the year and fog presence, and definitions in other regions of the world differ considerably.
The latter would, for example, exclude a part of the temperate rain forests of western North America, as Coast Douglas-fir, one of its dominant tree species, requires stand-destroying disturbance to initiate a new cohort of seedlings.
For forests, canopy refers to the upper layer or habitat zone, formed by mature tree crowns and including other biological organisms (neophytes, lanais, arboreal animals, etc.).
Temperate forests cover a large part of the Earth, but temperate rainforests only occur in a few regions around the world.
Most of these occur in oceanic moist climates: the Pacific temperate rain forests in Western North America (Southeastern Alaska to Central California), the Valdivian and Magellanic temperate rainforests of southwestern South America (Southern Chile and adjacent Argentina), pockets of rain forest in Northwestern Europe (southern Norway to northern Iberia), temperate rainforests of southeastern Australia (Tasmania and Victoria) and the New Zealand temperate rainforests (South Island's west coast).
Others occur in subtropical moist climates; South Africa's Knysna-Amatole coastal forests, the Colchan rainforests of the Black Sea region (southeast corner of Bulgaria, Turkey and Georgia), the Caspian temperate rainforests of Iran and Azerbaijan, the mountain temperate rainforests along eastern Taiwan's Pacific coast, the eastern coast of the Korean Peninsula along the length of the Baekdu Mountain Range and in the area surrounding Mt.
Additionally pockets of temperate rainforest occur in dreary climates that are not categorized by just annual precipitation but also number of cloudy days as well as number of days of measurable precipitation in the form of rain or snow.
In Western North America outside the Pacific Northwest, the Columbia Mountains of British Columbia (BC), northern Idaho and northwestern Montana, have more of a continental climate and have pockets of temperate coniferous rainforest.
In Eastern North America, there are scattered pockets of temperate rainforest along the Allegheny Plateau and adjacent parts of the Appalachian Mountains from West Virginia to New England.
A good example of these forests are found in Zoar Valley in Western New York (nearest major city is Buffalo, New York), Cook Forest State Park within the Allegheny National Forest (nearest major city is Pittsburgh), and Cathedral State Park in West Virginia.
In Eastern Asia, there are scattered pockets of temperate rainforest in what is known as the Russian Far East (Ussuri, Outer Manchuria, Sakhalin) in Asia where the climate is also continental in nature, but get enough precipitation and cloud cover to harbor significant pockets of temperate rainforest.
The mountainous coniferous forests of the Changbai Mountains bordering China and North Korea are also a good example, containing some of the richest high-elevation coniferous evergreen forests in East Asia.
A portion of the temperate rain forest region of North America, the largest area of temperate zone rain forests on the planet, is the Pacific temperate rain forests ecoregion which occur on west-facing coastal mountains along the Pacific coast of North America, from Kodiak Island in Alaska to northern California, and are part of the Nearctic ecozone.
In the different system established by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation, this same general region is classed as the Pacific Maritime Ecozone by Environment Canada and as the Marine West Coast Forest and Northwestern Forested Mountains Level II ecoregions by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
In terms of the floristic province system used by botany, the bulk of the region is the Rocky Mountain Floristic Region but a small southern portion is part of the California Floristic Province.
Sub-ecoregions of the Pacific temperate rain forest ecoregion as defined by the WWF include the Northern Pacific coastal forests, Queen Charlotte Islands ecoregion, Vancouver Island ecoregion, British Columbia mainland coastal forests, Central Pacific coastal forests, Southern Cascades forests ecoregion, Klamath-Siskiyou coastal forests, and Northern California coastal forests ecoregions.
A common feature of Pacific temperate rain forests of North America is the Nurse log, a fallen tree which as it decays, provides ecological facilitation to seedlings.
Trees such as the Coast Douglas-fir, Western Hemlock, Western Red Cedar, Pacific Yew, and Vine Maple are more closely related to coniferous and deciduous trees in the temperate forests of East Asia.
Some of the largest expanses of old growth are found in Olympic National Park, Mount Rainier National Park, Tongass National Forest, Mount St. Helens National Monument, Redwood National Park, and throughout British Columbia (including British Columbia's Coastal Mountain Ranges), with the coastal Great Bear Rainforest containing the largest expanses of old growth temperate rainforest found in the world.
British Columbia's Rocky Mountains, Cariboo Mountains, Rocky Mountain Trench (east of Prince George) and the Columbia Mountains of Southeastern British Columbia (west of the Canadian Rocky Mountains that extend into parts of Idaho and Northwestern Montana in the USA), which include the Selkirk Mountains, Monashee Mountains, and the Purcell Mountains, have the largest stretch of interior temperate coniferous rain forests.
Some of the best interior rain forests are found in Mount Revelstoke National Park and Glacier National Park (Canada) in the Columbia Mountains.
Temperate rain forests are located in the southern Appalachian Mountains where orographic precipitation causes weather systems coming from the west and from the Gulf of Mexico to drop more precipitation than in surrounding areas.
The largest of these forest blocks are located in western North Carolina, northern Georgia, and far eastern Tennessee, largely in the Pisgah, Nantahala, and Chattahoochee National Forests and nearby Gorges State Park.
In addition, small areas in the highest elevations of the Great Smoky Mountains also receive substantial rainfall, with Clingmans Dome, for example, collecting about 2,000 mm of precipitation per year.
In higher elevation (over 1,980 metres (6,500 ft)), Fraser fir is dominant, in middle elevation (1,675 to 1,890 metres (5,495 to 6,201 ft)) red spruce and Fraser fir grow together, and in lower elevation (1,370 to 1,650 metres (4,490 to 5,410 ft)) red spruce is dominant.
Younger spruce and fir and shrubs like raspberry, blackberry, hobblebush, southern mountain cranberries, red elderberry, minniebush, southern bush honeysuckle are understory vegetation.
Below the spruce-fir forest, at around 1,200 metres (3,900 ft), are forests of American beech, yellow birch, maple birch, and oak.
The temperate rain forests of South America are located on the Pacific coast of southern Chile, on the west-facing slopes of the southern Chilean coast range, and the Andes Mountains in both Chile and Argentina down to the southern tip of South America, and are part of the Neotropic ecozone.
The Valdivian forests are a refuge for the Antarctic flora, and share many plant families and genera with the temperate rainforests of New Zealand, Tasmania, and Australia.
In the Valdivian region the Andean Cordillera intercepts moist westerly winds along the Pacific coast during winter and summer months; these winds cool as they ascend the mountains, creating heavy rainfall on the mountains' west-facing slopes.
The tree line is at about 2,400 m in the northern part of the ecoregion (35°S), and descends to 1,000 m in the south of the Valdivian region.
The temperate rainforests of South Africa are part of the Knysna-Amatole forests that are located along South Africa's Garden Route between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth on the south-facing slopes of South Africa's Drakensberg Mountains facing the Indian Ocean.
This forest receives a lot of moisture as fog from the Indian Ocean, and resembles not only other temperate rain forests worldwide, but also the montane evergreen Afromontane forests that occur at higher elevations in southern and eastern Africa.
Temperate rainforest occurs in fragments across the north and west of Europe in countries such as southern Norway (see Scandinavian coastal conifer forests) and northern Spain.
Other temperate rainforest regions include areas of south eastern Europe such as mountains on the east coast of the Adriatic Sea, surrounding North Western Bulgaria along with the Black Sea.
The woodlands are variously referred to in Britain as Upland Oakwoods, Atlantic Oakwoods, Western Oakwoods or Temperate Rainforest, Caledonian forest, and colloquially as 'Celtic Rainforests'.
They are also listed in the British National Vegetation Classification as British NVC community W11 and British NVC community W17 depending on the ground flora.
The majority of surviving fragments of Atlantic Oakwoods in Britain occur on steep-sided slopes above rivers and lakes which have avoided clearance and intensive grazing pressure.
There are notable examples on the islands and shores of Loch Maree, Loch Sunart, Loch Lomond and one of the best preserved sites on the remote Taynish Peninsula in Argyll.
In England, they occur in the Lake District (Borrowdale Woods) and steep-sided riverine and estuarine valleys in Devon and Cornwall including the Fowey valley in Cornwall and the valley of the river Dart which flows off Dartmoor and has rainfall in excess of 2 metres per year.
The Colchian rainforests are found around both the southeast and west corners of the Black Sea starting in Bulgaria all the way to Turkey and Georgia and are part of the Euxine-Colchic deciduous forests ecoregion, together with the drier Euxine forests further west.
The area has multiple representatives of disjunct relict groups of plants with the closest relatives in Eastern Asia, southern Europe, and even North America.
Genetic data suggest that the Colchis temperate rainforest, during the Ice Age, was fragmented into smaller parts; in particular, evolutionary lineages of the Caucasian Salamander from the central and south-western Colchis remained isolated from one another during the entire Ice Age.
The protected area extends along the valley of the river Eume within the Ferrolterra municipalities of Pontedeume, Cabanas, A Capela, Monfero and As Pontes de García Rodríguez.
The Caspian Hyrcanian mixed forests ecoregion in northern Iran contains a jungle in the form of a rain forest which stretches from the east in the Khorasan province to the west in the Ardebil province, covering the other provinces of Gilan, Mazandaran, and Golestan.
The Elburz or Alborz mountain range is the highest mountain range in the Middle East which captures the moisture of the Caspian Sea to its north and forms subtropical and temperate rain forests in the northern part of Iran.
In southeast Azerbaijan, this ecoregion includes the Lankaran Lowland and the Talysh Mountains, the latter being evenly divided with Iran to the south.
These forests are found in eastern Taiwan and Taiwan's Central Mountain Ranges, part of the Taiwan subtropical evergreen forest region covering the higher elevations.
Jiri, in the southwest, forming the spine of the Korean Peninsula – and the southern coast and islands of the peninsula – including Jeju Island – feature a wide variety of conifers and broadleaf trees.
Major animals species, such as otters, small-eared cats, and badgers also call Hallyeohaesang National Park home, and overall there are 25 mammal species, 115 bird species, 16 reptile species, 1,566 insect species, and 24 freshwater fish species found among the forested, mountains islands.
Seoraksan National Park covers 398.539㎢ of mountainous forests near the eastern coast of the Korean Peninsula, and is a UNESCO designated Biosphere Preservation District.
Over 2,000 animal species live in Seoraksan, including the Korean goral, musk deer, and there are also more than 1,400 rare plant species, such as the edelweiss.
Some of the best preserved examples of forest are found in Kirishima-Yaku National Park on the Island of Yakushima off of Kyūshū in a very wet climate (the annual rainfall is 4,000 to 10,000 mm depending on altitude).
Eucalypt forests are not classified as rainforests although some eucalypt forest types receive high annual rainfall (to over 2000 mm in Tasmania), and in the absence of fire they may develop to rainforest.
Cool-temperate rainforests are widespread in Tasmania (Tasmanian temperate rain forests ecoregion) and they can be found scattered from the World Heritage listed Border Ranges National Park and Lamington National Park on the NSW/Queensland border to Otway Ranges, Strzelecki Ranges, Dandenong Ranges and Tarra Bulga in Victoria.
Kaufman was born in New York City to a Jewish family on November 19, 1958, the son of Helen and Myron Kaufman.
At first Kaufman found the experience of working on a writing staff nerve-wracking and did not speak in the writer's room for the first few weeks.
On all these series Kaufman struggled to keep his material from being from adulterated or not produced at all, due to his unconventional writing and his quiet nature.
The script eventually reached Francis Ford Coppola, who passed it on to his then-son-in-law Jonze, who agreed to direct the film.
Kaufman won his first Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and third BAFTA for the film together with Gondry and French artist Pierre Bismuth.
Rather than make a conventional horror film, the two agreed to have the film deal with things they found frightening, such as mortality and life's brevity.
The film premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival where it split critics, with some calling it the best film of the year and others finding it pretentious.
The film's poor box office resulted in Kaufman finding it difficult to gain funding for scripts he has attached himself to as director.
Few details have been confirmed about the plot except that it is a musical comedy about internet anger culture and was set to star Jack Black, Nicolas Cage, Steve Carell, Kevin Kline, Catherine Keener, Paul Reubens, Jackie Weaver and Elizabeth Banks.
While struggling to get his directorial work made, Kaufman continued to work as a writer for hire, writing numerous unproduced screenplays.
The film is scheduled to be released in 2019; Kaufman will share writing credit with John Lee Hancock and Ness, both of whom worked on the script after Kaufman's draft.
Kaufman co-directed the film with Duke Johnson, who had previous experience in stop motion filmmaking, and the original cast of the play production returned to reprise their roles.
The project begun filming in March 2019, with Jessie Buckley having replaced Larson, and Toni Collette and David Thewlis joining the cast.
Kaufman's works explore such universal themes as identity crisis, mortality, and the meaning of life through a metaphysical or parapsychological framework.
Some writers and directors Kaufman has named as favorites of his, or as influences, are Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett, Stanisław Lem, Flannery O'Connor, Shirley Jackson, Italo Svevo, David Lynch, Lars von Trier, Woody Allen and Patricia Highsmith.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a 2004 American romantic science fiction tragicomedy film written by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Michel Gondry.
The film uses elements of the psychological thriller and a nonlinear narrative to explore the nature of memory and romantic love.
The film developed a cult following in the years after its release and has come to be regarded by many critics as one of the best films of the 21st century and of the 2000's.
Shy, soft-spoken Joel Barish and unrestrained free spirit Clementine Kruczynski meet on a Long Island Rail Road train from Montauk to Rockville Centre.
Both had felt the need to travel to Montauk that day, and they almost immediately connect, feeling drawn to each other despite their contrasting personalities.
After a fight, Clementine had hired the New York City firm Lacuna, Inc. to erase all of her memories of their relationship.
Upon discovering this from his friends Rob and Carrie, Joel had been angered and saddened, deciding to undergo the procedure himself, a process that took place while he slept.
Joel finds himself revisiting his memories of Clementine in reverse and experiencing their erasure, starting from the downfall of their relationship.
As he comes across happier memories of Clementine early in their relationship, he attempts to preserve at least some memory of her and his love for her, trying to evade the procedure by taking his idealized memory of Clementine into memories not linked to her and attempting to wake up and stop the process.
Joel comes to the last remaining memory of Clementine, the day he had first met her at a beach house in Montauk.
This leads to both Joel and Clementine traveling to Montauk without understanding why they feel the need to, where they subsequently meet on the train.
Patrick, one of the Lacuna technicians performing the erasure, uses Joel's memories and his mementos of Clementine to seduce and date her in the present.
Mary, the Lacuna receptionist, is dating another technician, Stan, but has feelings for the head of Lacuna, Dr. Howard Mierzwiak, who is married.
During Joel's memory wipe, Mary discovers she had previously had an affair with Dr. Mierzwiak and agreed to have the affair erased from her memory after Dr. Mierzwiak's wife found out.
Devastated by this discovery and by the power of the procedure, Mary quits her job and steals the company's records, mailing all of Lacuna's clients the tapes of each client recounting their memories to be erased.
In the present, Joel and Clementine meet at the Montauk train station and are eager to begin what appears to be a new and exciting relationship.
When they both find their Lacuna records mailed to them by Mary, they are shocked and disturbed by the bitter memories they have of each other.
Clementine attempts to leave, saying that the relationship could end up going the same way it did in the tapes, but Joel pleads with her, sensing their deep connection.
The pair had met and become friends in the early 1980s during Gondry's drumming career in the French pop group Oui Oui.
Bismuth had conceived of the idea of erasing certain people from people's minds in response to a friend complaining about her boyfriend; when he asked her if she would erase that boyfriend from her memory, she said yes.
Bismuth originally was going to conduct an art experiment involving sending cards to people saying someone they knew had erased the card's recipient from their memory.
When he mentioned this to Gondry, they developed it into a story based on the situations that would arise if it were scientifically possible.
Due to the similarities, Kaufman became worried and tried to pull out of the project, but Golin made him complete it.
During writing, the pitch's ownership changed several times thus Kaufman did not have to deal with the studios until the end of the scriptwriting process.
Kaufman did not want to make the film a thriller and wanted to downplay the science fiction aspects of memory erasure, focusing on the relationship.
Kaufman resolved the first problem by making Joel lucid and able to comment on his memories and solved the second by making the memories degrade instead of immediately erasing, with complete erasure occurring at awakening.
The production crew recreated some key scenes, such as Joel's Yonkers apartment and the 1950s-style kitchen, in a New Jersey former U.S. Navy base.
Kuras disagreed with this choice and would get around it by lighting the room instead of the actors and by hiding light bulbs around the set to increase light levels.
Another issue the cinematographers encountered was due to the frequent improvisation, the lack of marks and the few rehearsals completed, the cinematographers often did not know where the actors would be.
Two handheld cameras filmed near 360-degree footage at all times, shooting 36,000 feet of film a day to deal with this.
Gondry called back to the work of famed French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard by filming using wheelchairs as well as using sled and chariot dollies instead of traditional dollies.
When using wheelchairs, the shot was not consistently smooth, however as Kuras liked the aesthetic of the low-angle, wobbly movement, the final film contains the footage.
The film used minimal CGI, with many effects accomplished in-camera, through forced perspectives, hidden space, spotlighting, unsynchronized sound, split focus and continuity editing.
A notable example is the ocean washing away the house in Montauk; the production team accomplished this by building the corner of a house on the beach and allowing the tide to rise.
Executing this effect was difficult as the special team hired to place the set in the water refused due to perceived dangers.
Gondry in response fired the team and had the production team, including the actors and producers, place the set in the water.
In the final film, Winslet plays Clementine straight, and degradation of settings and the intrusion of settings upon each other establish memory degradation visually.
Another script component that did not make it into the final film was the appearance of Naomi, Joel's girlfriend, played by Ellen Pompeo.
In the autumn 2008 issue of Screen Journal, Carol Vernallis argued that Gondry's experience in directing music videos contributed to the film's mise-en-scène and sound design.
Vernallis describes some threads of the visual, aural and musical motifs throughout the film, and how some motifs can work in counterpoint.
The film placed seventh in the weekend's box office, and remained in theaters for 19 weeks, earning $34,400,301 in the United States and $37,857,825 in international markets for a total of $72,258,126 worldwide.
Critics praised Kaufman and his ambition, and he won numerous awards for his efforts, including an Academy Award and a BAFTA for Best Original Screenplay.
In October 2016, Anonymous Content announced they would be working with Universal Cable Productions to produce a television series based on the film.
Acacia aneura, commonly known as mulga or true mulga, is a shrub or small tree native to arid outback areas of Australia.
It is the dominant tree in the habitat that it gives its name to (mulga) that occurs across much of inland Australia.
Although generally small in size, mulgas are long-lived, a typical life span for a tree undisturbed by fire is of the order of 200 to 300 years.
These are optimised for low water loss, with a high oil content, sunken stomata, and a profusion of tiny hairs which reduce transpiration.
During dry periods, mulgas drop much of their foliage to the ground, which provides an extra layer of mulch and from where the nutrients can be recycled.
The needle-like phyllodes stand erect to avoid as much of the midday sun as possible and capture the cooler morning and evening light.
Any rain that falls is channeled down the phyllodes and branches to be collected in the soil immediately next to the trunk, providing the tree with a more than threefold increase in effective rainfall.
The roots also harbour bacteria that fix atmospheric nitrogen and thus help deal with the very old, nutrient-poor soils in which the species grows.
Both summer and winter rainfall are necessary to maintain mulga, and the species is absent from semiarid regions that experience summer or winter drought.
The extent of ground cover in mulga woodlands varies with canopy density of the overstorey, becoming almost nonexistent in extremely dense stands.
In contrast to the eucalypt woodlands that dominate much of Australia, mulga woodlands are not well adapted to regular fire and species in mulga communities vary in their ability to survive fires.
Many species, including mulga, have a very limited ability to resprout after fire, and rely instead on mechanisms of seed production for species survival.
Many plants produce hard, woody fruits or seeds, which can not only survive intense heat, but also may require the stimulus of fire to scarify and promote germination.
Despite containing considerable amounts of indigestible tannins, mulga leaves are a valuable fodder source, particularly in times of drought, as they are palatable to stock and provide up to 12% crude protein.
Mulga was a vital tree to indigenous Australians in Central Australia; the wood was a good hardwood for making various implements, such as digging sticks, woomeras, shields and wooden bowls.
Brown, William Cove, Robert Forgan, J. F. Horrabin, James Lovat-Fraser, John McGovern, John James McShane, Frank Markham, H. T. Muggeridge, Morgan Philips Price, Charles Simmons, and John Strachey.
The party was formed from six of the Labour MPs who signed the Mosley Manifesto (Mosley and his wife, Baldwin, Brown, Forgan and Strachey), although two (Baldwin and Brown) resigned membership after a day and sat in the House of Commons as independent MPs; Strachey resigned in June.
With a threadbare organisation they polled some 16% of the vote, splitting the Labour vote and allowing a Conservative to be returned to the Commons.
At the 1931 general election the New Party contested 25 seats, but only Mosley himself, and a candidate in Merthyr Tydfil (Sellick Davies stood against only one Independent Labour Party (ILP) candidate in Merthyr, while Mosley stood against both Conservative and Labour candidates in Stoke) polled a decent number of votes, and three candidates lost their deposits.
He favoured granting wide-ranging powers to the government, with only general control by Parliament and creating a five-member Cabinet without specific portfolio, similar to the War Cabinet adopted during the First World War.
His economic strategy broadly followed Keynesian thinking and suggested widespread investment into housing to provide work and improve housing standards overall, while also supporting protectionism with proposals for high tariffs walls.
The New Party's sharp turn to the right led previous supporters such as John Strachey and Harold Nicolson to leave it.
In 1932 Mosley united most of the various fascist organisations in the UK, forming the British Union of Fascists, into which the New Party subsumed itself.
In other words, a solution is an expression or a collection of expressions (one for each unknown) such that, when substituted for the unknowns, the equation becomes an identity.
A solution of an equation is often also called a root of the equation, particularly but not only for algebraic or numerical equations.
Solving an equation numerically means that only numbers represented explicitly as numerals (not as an expression involving variables), are admitted as solutions.
Solving an equation symbolically means that expressions that may contain known variables or possibly also variables not in the original equation are admitted as solutions.
Instantiating a symbolic solution with specific numbers always gives a numerical solution; for example, gives (that is, and ) and gives .
Note that the distinction between known variables and unknown variables is made in the statement of the problem, rather than the equation.
When writing polynomials, the coefficients are usually taken to be known and the indeterminates to be unknown, but depending on the problem, all variables may assume either role.
Depending on the problem, the task may be to find any solution (finding a single solution is enough) or all solutions.
Note that the set of solutions can be the empty set (there are no solutions), a singleton (there is exactly one solution), finite, or infinite (there are infinitely many solutions).
The solution set of a given set of equations or inequalities is the set of all its solutions, a solution being a tuple of values, one for each unknown, that satisfies all equations or inequalities.
Its solution set is {}, the empty set, since 2 is not the square of an integer, so no integer solves this equation.
The methods for solving equations generally depend on the type of equation, both the kind of expressions in the equation and the kind of values that may be assumed by the unknowns.
But this also reflects that, in general, no such method can exist: some problems are known to be unsolvable by an algorithm, such as Hilbert's tenth problem, which was proved unsolvable in 1970.
For several classes of equations, algorithms have been found for solving them, some of which have been implemented and incorporated in computer algebra systems, but often require no more sophisticated technology than pencil and paper.
In some other cases, heuristic methods are known that are often successful but that are not guaranteed to lead to success.
If the solution set of an equation is restricted to a finite set (as is the case for equations in modular arithmetic, for example), or can be limited to a finite number of possibilities (as is the case with some Diophantine equations), the solution set can be found by brute force, that is, by testing each of the possible values (candidate solutions).
It may be the case, though, that the number of possibilities to be considered, although finite, is so huge that an exhaustive search is not practically feasible; this is, in fact, a requirement for strong encryption methods.
If a guess, when tested, fails to be a solution, consideration of the way in which it fails may lead to a modified guess.
Polynomial equations of degree up to four can be solved exactly using algebraic methods, of which the quadratic formula is the simplest example.
In some other cases, in particular if the equation is in one unknown, it is possible to solve the equation for rational-valued unknowns (see Rational root theorem), and then find solutions to the Diophantine equation by restricting the solution set to integer-valued solutions.
Often, root-finding algorithms like the Newton–Raphson method can be used to find a numerical solution to an equation, which, for some applications, can be entirely sufficient to solve some problem.
A particular class of problem that can be considered to belong here is integration, and the analytic methods for solving this kind of problems are now called symbolic integration.
It focuses on a lone character called Snowman, who finds himself in a bleak situation with only creatures called Crakers to keep him company.
It was shortlisted for the 2003 Man Booker Prize for Fiction, as well as for the 2004 Orange Prize for Fiction.
Flashbacks reveal that Snowman was once a boy named Jimmy who grew up in a world dominated by multinational corporations and privileged compounds for the families of their employees.
Near starvation, Snowman decides to return to the ruins of a compound named RejoovenEsense to search for supplies, even though it is overrun by dangerous genetically engineered hybrid animals.
In Snowman's recollection of past events, Jimmy's family moves to the HelthWyzer compound, where his father works as a genetic engineer.
During one of their child pornography viewings, Jimmy is very much lovestruck by the gazing eyes of a young girl seen in the porn.
After graduating from high school, Crake attends the highly respected Watson-Crick Institute, where he studies advanced bioengineering, but Jimmy ends up at the loathed Martha Graham Academy, where students study humanities, only valued for their propaganda applications.
Crake uses his prominent position to create the Crakers, peaceful, gentle, herbivorous humanoids who have sexual intercourse only during limited polyandrous breeding seasons.
Crake tells Jimmy about another very important project, a Viagra-like super-pill called BlyssPluss, which also promises health and happiness, but secretly causes sterilization in order to address overpopulation.
At the Rejoov compound, Jimmy eventually sees a human in the Craker habitat and recognizes her as the girl from the pornographic video.
Unaware of Jimmy's obsession with her, Crake explains that her name is Oryx and that he has hired her as a teacher for the Crakers.
He also makes a promise to both Oryx and Crake that he will look after the Crakers if anything happens to them.
After Crake's wonder drug BlyssPluss is widely distributed, a global pandemic, deliberately caused by it, breaks out and begins wiping out the human race and causing mass chaos outside of the protected Rejoov compound.
Realizing that this was planned by Crake all along, and sensing that something dangerous is happening regarding Crake and Oryx, Jimmy grabs a gun to confront Crake, who is returning with Oryx from outside the compound and needs Jimmy to let them in.
Crake presents himself to Jimmy with his arm around an unconscious Oryx, saying that he and Jimmy are immune to the virus.
In March 2001, Atwood found herself in the Northern region of Australia, birdwatching with her partner during a break from the book tour.
However, Atwood explained that the work was also a product of her lingering thoughts on such a scenario throughout her life, as well as spending a great amount of time with scientists throughout her childhood.
Several of my close relatives are scientists, and the main topic at the annual family Christmas dinner is likely to be intestinal parasites or sex hormones in mice, or, when that makes the non-scientists too queasy, the nature of the Universe.
Atwood continued to write the novel through the summer of 2001 while visiting the Arctic North, witnessing global warming's effect on the region.
He has the feeling he's quoting from a book, some obsolete, ponderous directive written in aid of European colonials running plantations of one kind or another.
The exhibitionistic website At Home With Anna K, for instance, is almost certainly a reference to Ana Voog's AnaCam and the lifecasting movement pioneered by Jennifer Ringley and her now-defunct JenniCam website.
Even the seemingly far-fetched idea of broadcasting live executions (which Jimmy and Crake watch on shortcircuit.com, brainfrizz.com, and deathrowlive.com) has already been discussed, with a high percentage of the U.S. population receptive to the concept.
Though chronicling a different set of characters, the follow-up expands upon and clarifies the relationships of Crake with Oryx and Jimmy with his high school girlfriend Ren.
The project was formerly being developed for HBO; in 2016 Aronofsky said that the network was no longer attached, but confirmed that the scripts were written and the project was still underway.
In January 2018, Paramount Television and Anonymous Content announced they had won the bidding war for rights to Atwood's MaddAddam book trilogy and plan to bring the series to cable or video on demand.
The Anti-Zionist Committee of the Soviet Public (AZCSP, Russian language: Антисионистский комитет советской общественности, АКСО) was a body formed in 1983 in the Soviet Union as an anti-Zionist propaganda tool.
The fundamental idea of the anti-Zionist manifesto was that potential Jewish emigrants from the Soviet Union were to be considered enemies of the Soviet Union.
From late 1944, Joseph Stalin adopted a pro-Zionist foreign policy, apparently believing that the new country would be socialist and would speed the decline of British influence in the Middle East.
Accordingly, in November 1947, the Soviet Union, together with the other Soviet bloc countries voted in favor of the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, which paved the way for the creation of the State of Israel.
By 1983, the Soviet regime needed a new propaganda weapon in the Cold War, as well as against increasingly active internal dissident movement, to arrest or discredit the mass emigration of Soviet Jews and to alleviate the Arab concerns about its effects on Israel's demographics.
David Abramovich Dragunsky, Colonel-General, twice Hero of the Soviet Union and World War II hero (he was the commander of the 55th Guards Tank Brigade), well known inside the country and abroad, was designated its chairman.
By the end of the 1980s, with the new policies of glasnost and perestroika, and with the impending dissolution of the Soviet Union, the old Soviet regime had lost its stability and many of those plans had to be cancelled.
Otto Loewi (3 June 1873 – 25 December 1961) was a German-born pharmacologist and psychobiologist who discovered the role of acetylcholine as an endogenous neurotransmitter.
For his discovery he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1936, which he shared with Sir Henry Dale, who was a lifelong friend who helped to inspire the neurotransmitter experiment.
He went to study medicine at the University of Strasbourg (then part of Germany) in 1891, where he attended courses by famous professors Gustav Schwalbe, Oswald Schmiedeberg, and Bernhard Naunyn among others.
Soon, however, after seeing the high mortality in countless cases of far-advanced tuberculosis and pneumonia, left without any treatment because of lack of therapy, he decided to drop his intention to become a clinician and instead to carry out research in basic medical science, in particular pharmacology.
As a result of his work on the action of phlorhizin, a glucoside provoking glycosuria, and another one on nuclein metabolism in man, he was appointed «Privatdozent» (Lecturer) in 1900.
Two years later he published his paper «Über Eiweisssynthese im Tierkörper» (On protein synthesis in the animal body), proving that animals are able to rebuild their proteins from their degradation products, the amino acids – an essential discovery with regard to nutrition.
In 1902 Loewi was a guest researcher in Ernest Starling's laboratory in London, where he met his lifelong friend Henry Dale.
In 1903, he accepted an appointment at the University of Graz in Austria, where he would remain until being forced out of the country in 1938.
Loewi moved to the United States in 1940, where he became a research professor at the New York University College of Medicine.
Shortly after Loewi's death in late 1961, his youngest son bestowed the gold Nobel medal on the Royal Society in London.
He gave the Nobel diploma to the University of Graz in Austria in 1983, where it currently resides, along with a bronze copy of a bust of Loewi.
The original of the bust is at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, Loewi's summer home from his arrival in the US until his death.
While pharmacology experiments had established that physiological responses such as muscle contraction could be induced by chemical application, there was no evidence that cells released chemical substances to cause these responses.
On the contrary, researchers had shown that physiological responses could be caused by applying an electrical impulse, which suggested that electrical transmission may be the only mode of endogenous signaling.
In the early 20th century the controversy of whether cells used chemical or electrical transmission divided even the most prominent scientists.
According to Loewi, the idea for his key experiment came to him in his sleep, causing him to go directly to the laboratory in the middle of the night.
He dissected out of frogs two beating hearts: one with the vagus nerve which controls heart rate attached, the other heart on its own.
The application of the liquid made the second heart also beat slower, proving that some soluble chemical released by the vagus nerve was controlling the heart rate.
His experiment was iconic because it was the first to demonstrate the endogenous release of a chemical substance that could cause a response in the absence of electrical stimulation.
It paved the way for the understanding that the electrical signaling event (action potential) causes a chemical event (release of neurotransmitter from synapses) that is ultimately the effector on the tissue.
On Easter Saturday 1921, he dreamed of an experiment that would prove once and for all that transmission of nerve impulses was chemical, not electrical.
Thirteen years later, Loewi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which he shared with Sir Henry Hallett Dale.
Loewi observed the removing the pancreas from dogs, giving them an experimental form of diabetes led a change of the response of the eye to adrenaline: this compound in normal dogs has no effect, but in the dogs without a pancreas the pupil dilated.
Surgeons used this as a diagnostic test for acute pancreatitis, which was based on Loewi's observation of such a phenomenon in dogs that had had their pancreas removed.
The usefulness of this test was reported in a case series of two patients; it was, as expected, negative in a case involving carcinoma of the bile duct, but positive in a case of pancreatitis.
Its flagship project is the National Cycle Network, which has created of signed cycle routes throughout the UK including of traffic-free paths.
It administers several thousand volunteers who contribute their time to the charity in numerous ways, such as cleaning and maintaining the National Cycle Network, enhancing biodiversity along the routes, leading walks and rides and supporting communities to improve their air quality.
Sustrans was formed in Bristol in July 1977 as Cyclebag by a group of cyclists and environmentalists, motivated by emerging doubts about the desirability of over-dependence on the private car, following the 1973 oil crisis, and the almost total lack of specific provision for cyclists in most British cities, in contrast to some other European countries.
One such railway was the former Midland Railway line between central Bristol and Bath, closed in favour of the more direct, former Great Western Railway between the cities.
Sustrans leased part of the old route with the help of Avon County Council (Bristol and Bath were then part of the County of Avon) and turned it into its first route, the Bristol & Bath Railway Path.
British Waterways collaborated with Sustrans to improve towpaths along some canals, which resulted in greatly increased use of the towpaths, especially by cyclists.
In 2015, Sustrans ran the Campaign for Safer Streets, which encouraged people to write to David Cameron to encourage him to commit to funding safer walking and cycling routes to schools.
Sustrans currently has many sources of funding, and in the 2004/05 financial year, its income was £23.6 million: £2.1 million from supporters' donations, £8.5 million came from the Department for Transport and a further £2.5 million from the National Opportunities Fund specifically for the Safe Routes projects.
It was a survey of residents in seven UK cities, undertaken in conjunction with local councils and transport authorities, attempting to assess the current state of cycling in the UK.
The National Cycle Network was officially opened in June 2000, when had been completed, although some routes had been open for over a decade.
In urban areas, almost 20% of the network is free from motor traffic, though these sections can account for up to 80% of use.
The data collected by Sustrans to compile monitoring reports, from traffic counters and user surveys, showed that National Cycle Network usage is predominantly urban and on traffic-free sections.
In 2018, Sustrans published the National Cycle Network Review: Paths for Everyone report which reviewed the quality and usage of the Network and set out a vision for its future.
Sustrans has opponents within organisations that wish to reduce road haulage and motor travel by promoting the expansion of the modern railway network.
It has been accused of being uncompromising on route sharing; for example, it allowed a single-track railway adjacent to a cycle path on a double-track railway formation.
In 2000, several mainline railways were full to capacity, yet requests by EWS and English China Clays to reopen lost rail links for freight paths such as the former Weedon to Leamington Spa line were refused by the charity.
Sustrans refused to support the application unless the rail promoter provided an alternative cycle track; EWS responded it was an uneconomic provision for both reopening and building replacement pathway expenses.
Sustrans have occasionally been criticised by other cycling organisations and activists over allegedly giving approval to cycle facilities regarded by critics as inadequate or dangerous, allowing local councils and similar bodies to refute criticism by pointing out that Sustrans have approved of the design being questioned.
In 2016, the University of the West of England's Centre for Transport and Society identified shared use designs, and in particular Sustrans Design Guidance which encouraged such designs, as a source of conflict between pedestrians and cyclists and a cause for frustration among those campaigning for better cycling infrastructure provision.
Connect2 was a UK-wide project that aimed to improve local travel in 79 communities by creating new walking and cycling routes.
Sustrans launched the 'Connect2' project in August 2006 in a successful bid to win £50 million from the Big Lottery's 'Living Landmarks; The People's Millions' competition.
Lantmarskalk, () was the title of one of the speakers of the Swedish Riksdag of the Estates, from 1627 to 1866 and of the Diet of Grand Duchy of Finland from 1809 to 1906.
The Lantmarskalk should not be confused with the Riksmarsk (Lord High Constable of Sweden) or the Riksmarskalk (Marshal of the Realm), which were Great Officers of the Realm and royal appointees.
Between approximately 1720 and 1772 two parties Hats and Caps were active during a short period of parliamentary rule, referred to as the age of liberty.
Harden–Murrumburrah is a township and community in the Hilltops Region and is located in the South West Slopes of New South Wales in Australia and is adjacent to both the Canberra region of the Australian Capital Territory and the Riverina Region in the southwest area of NSW.
The town is a twin town between Harden and Murrumburrah (which is noted as one of the earliest settlements in the southwest of New South Wales).
The town is traversed by the Burley Griffin Way, the major link from and between the Riverina and the Hume Highway near Yass, and ultimately Sydney, Canberra and the coast.
The Olympic Highway traverses the western end of the shire and is the major link through the central west to the Blue Mountains and from there to the Sydney region.
Harden railway station was opened one km east of Murrumburrah on the Main Southern line in 1877 as Murrumburrah, but changed its name to Harden a year after the opening of a new station in Murrumburrah in 1879.
From 1906 until 2016 Harden–Murrumburrah was the seat of its own local council, but was amalgamated in 2016 to form Hilltops Council.
Harden railway station is served by two daily NSW TrainLink XPT services between Melbourne and Sydney in each direction and the twice weekly Xplorer service between Griffith and Sydney.
NSW TrainLink trial road coach services 703 and 704 between Wagga Wagga and Canberra via Cootamundra pass through Harden, but as at September 2019 do not pick up or drop off passengers there.
Intrigue won a recording contract with Elektra Records, and Fears met up with Brandi Williams at a talent show while a member of that group.
After Lopes's death in a car crash in Honduras on April 25, 2002, they signed with Elektra Records and after Reed gave birth to a son, they began work on their third album.
An alternate version of the shelved album was released to iTunes on May 22, 2007, but was later on taken down.
The album was scheduled to be released exclusively to iTunes in 2008, nearly five years after its completion by Music World Entertainment, but this was canceled.
The Vunivalu and the Roko Tui Bau (sacred chieftain) had had many power struggles during the course of nearly a century.
These struggles led to the death of Seru's paternal uncle, the Vunivalu of Bau, Naulivou Ramatenikutu and the installation of Tanoa as Vunivalu.
However, after he slew the Roko Tui Bau, Ratu Raiwalui, near Vanua Balavu, amongst other murders and reprisals, Tanoa was exiled in 1832.
He subsequently gained power in 1837 when he persuaded the Lasakau people to overthrow the Roko Tui Bau Vuani-ivi clan led by Ratu Ravulo Vakayaliyalo.
Claiming that Bau had suzerainty over the remainder of Fiji, he asserted that he was, in fact, the King of Fiji.
The last, brief rebellion of chiefs against Cakobau's rule culminated in the Battle of Kaba (a village in Bau Tikina, next to Bau Island).
Having become a Christian, Cakobau on the battlefield pardoned all the captives; in accordance with pagan Fijian customs, the defeated men would have been ceremonially humiliated, killed, and eaten.
On 8 May 1865, a Confederacy of Independent Kingdoms of Viti was established (comprising Bau, Bua, Cakaudrove, Lakeba, Macuata, Naduri), with Cakobau as Chairman of the General Assembly.
Two years later, however, the confederacy split into the Kingdom of Bau and the Confederation of Lau (comprising Bua, Cakaudrove, Lau), with Cakobau assuming kingship of the former.
Supported by foreign settlers, he finally succeeded in creating a united Fijian kingdom in 1871, and established Levuka as his capital.
The United States government had recognised Cakobau's claim to kingship over a united Fijian nation, long before his claims were accepted by his fellow chiefs.
The American government held him responsible for an arson attack against the Nukulau Island home of John Brown William, the American Consul, in 1849 (before Cakobau was even the Vunivalu, let alone King), and demanded $44,000 compensation.
Unable to pay the debt caused by the Rewan Chiefs, and fearing an American invasion and annexation, Cakobau decided to cede the islands to the United Kingdom.
Cakobau retained his position as Fiji's second most senior chief the title of Vunivalu of Bau, and formally ceded the highest and most precedent Chiefly title of Tui Viti or Paramount Chief of Fiji to the person of Her Majesty Queen Victoria.
This title continued to be held by her descendants, until the de-establishment of the Great Council of Chiefs on 14 March 2012, making Elizabeth II the last Paramount Chief.
A number of other political figures are also descendants of Cakobau, including Roko Tupou Draunidalo, President of the National Federation Party and a Member of Parliament since 2014.
Roustabout is a 1964 American musical feature film starring Elvis Presley as a singer who takes a job working with a struggling carnival.
The film was produced by Hal Wallis and directed by John Rich from a screenplay by Anthony Lawrence and Allan Weiss.
Musician Charlie Rogers is fired from a job at a teahouse after brawling with several college students in the parking lot.
When Charlie tries to become friendly with Cathy, Joe forces him off the road and the bike is wrecked after crashing into a wooden fence.
Maggie offers him a place to stay and a job with her struggling traveling carnival while the bike is being repaired.
After the two men repeatedly clash and Charlie is accused of holding back a customer's lost wallet that Joe was accused of stealing, Charlie leaves to star in the much better financed show of rival carnival producer Harry Carver.
The film finished as #28 on the year-end list of the top-grossing movies of 1964 and earned $3 million at the box office.
The film's screenwriters, Anthony Lawrence and Allan Weiss, were nominated for the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Written American Musical.
As of 2011, with an estimated population of 1.2 billion, India is the world's second most populous country after the People's Republic of China.
The Indo-Gangetic plains have one of the world's biggest stretches of fertile flat-deep alluvium and are among the most densely populated areas of the world.
The census in India is conducted by the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner under the Ministry of Home Affairs, and is one of the largest administrative tasks conducted by a federal government.
Based on decennial census data, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu has the fastest growth rate of 55.1 percent, followed by Meghalaya (27.8 percent) and Arunachal Pradesh (25.9 percent).
Of them 145,000 villages have population size of 500–999 persons; 130,000 villages have population size of 1000–1999 and 128,000 villages have population size of 200–499.
On the basis of net migrants by last residence during the past decade, Maharashtra had most immigration with 2.3 million, followed by National Capital Territory of Delhi (1.7 million), Gujarat (0.68 million) and Haryana (0.67 million).
The five states of Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh account for almost half (47.90 percent) of the total Indian population.
While the national average for sex ratio shows an increase from 933 in 2001 to 940 in 2011, the 2011 census shows a sharp decline in child sex ratio, the number of females per thousand males in a population between age group 0–6 years.
States such as Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Mizoram and Andaman and Nicobar Islands recorded an increase in child sex ratio.
Peter Henry Goldsmith, Baron Goldsmith (born 5 January 1950) is a British barrister and a former Attorney General for England and Wales and for Northern Ireland.
On 22 June 2007, Goldsmith announced his resignation which took effect on 27 June 2007, the same day that prime minister, Tony Blair, stepped down.
He is currently head of European litigation practice at US law firm Debevoise & Plimpton and Vice Chairperson of the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre.
He took silk in 1987 and became a Deputy High Court Judge in 1994 and he was elected the youngest ever chairman of the Bar of England and Wales in 1995.
He was raised to the peerage as a Labour peer in 1999, as Baron Goldsmith, of Allerton in the County of Merseyside.
One of his first acts was to discuss breaches of the injunction against publishing the whereabouts of the offenders in the murder of James Bulger.
Goldsmith has also held a number of posts in international legal organisations, including Council Member of the International Bar Association (IBA) and of the Union Internationale des Avocats.
Between 1997 and 2000 he was Chairman of the Financial Reporting Review Panel, a non-departmental public body responsible for enforcing financial reporting standards.
In 2006, Goldsmith gave a speech at the Royal United Services Institute, calling for the closure of the US detention camp at Guantanamo Bay.
On 17 February 2007, the Mail on Sunday reported that Goldsmith, who is married, had been having an affair with Kim Hollis QC.
The nature of Goldsmith's legal advice to the Government over the legality of the 2003 invasion of Iraq was a significant political issue at the time.
Goldsmith's original memo to the Prime Minister written on 30 January 2003 opined that UN Resolution 1441 did not sanction the use of force and that a further resolution would be required before military action.
A subsequent memo written on 7 March 2003 was eventually leaked to the press, which led to its official publication on 28 April 2005.
In the memo, Lord Goldsmith discussed whether the use of force in Iraq could legally be justified by Iraq's 'material breach', as established in UN Security Council Resolution 1441, of its ceasefire obligations as imposed by Security Council Resolution 687 at the end of the First Gulf War.
In his final advice to the Government, written on 17 March 2003, Goldsmith stated that the use of force in Iraq was lawful.
This advice stated Goldsmith's preferred view in more unequivocal terms than his earlier memo, without reference to the doubts expressed therein.
This has led to allegations that Goldsmith succumbed to political pressure to find legal justification for the use of force against Iraq.
Shortly after the leak Goldsmith released a statement in response to such allegations, saying that the two documents were consistent, pointing to the difference in the nature of the two documents and to the firm assurances he claims to have had received between 7 and 17 March that Iraq was indeed in breach of its obligations under Security Council resolutions.
The controversy was heightened by the resignation of Elizabeth Wilmshurst, deputy legal adviser at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, on 20 March 2003.
In this, Wilmshurst stated that the reason for her resignation was that she did not agree with the official opinion that the use of force in Iraq was legal.
Goldsmith gave evidence to the Iraq Inquiry on 27 January 2010, in which he was asked to explain his position on the legality of the invasion of Iraq.
In August 2008, Goldsmith qualified as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales to become a full equity partner of the firm (and so share in the firm's profits and acquire an ownership share in the firm).
The same report said that he would have expected to earn more than that if he had resumed practice at the English Bar.
Upon leaving office, former Attorneys General usually return to practise at the Bar, often at the chambers which they left upon appointment as Attorney.
Unlike the position with retired Lords Chancellor, there is no prohibition on an Attorney General returning to practise at the Bar.
As a former Minister and holder of public office, Goldsmith had to accept a number of restrictions on his freedom to practise for two years after leaving office.
The restrictions are imposed by the prime minister on the advice of the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments, a branch of the Cabinet Office.
For two years after leaving office, he was required to stand aside from dealing with any matter about which he had confidential or privileged information acquired while he was Attorney General.
Goldsmith was a lawyer of famous Georgian businessman Badri Patarkatsishvili who spent the final day in his office, before collapsing and dying of a heart attack at his Leatherhead mansion.
Since 2004, the Komische Oper Berlin, along with the Berlin State Opera, the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Berlin State Ballet, and the Bühnenservice Berlin (Stage and Costume Design), has been a member of the Berlin Opera Foundation.
Around 800 people could be seated in the stalls, and the balconies and various en-suite dinner rooms housed about a further 1,700 seats.
The theatre was completely rebuilt in 1965/1966 by Architektenkollektiv Kunz Nierade, adding functional extensions and giving the theatre a completely new exterior.
In 2004, due to budgetary problems, the separate ballet companies of Berlin's three opera houses were merged into a single company called the Staatsballett Berlin.
Past General Music Directors (GMD) of the company have included Kurt Masur, Rolf Reuter, Yakov Kreizberg, Kirill Petrenko, Carl St.Clair, and Patrick Lange.
There is no position of Attorney General of the United Kingdom, as England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have different legal systems.
Crown Melbourne (also referred to as Crown Casino and Entertainment Complex) is a casino and resort located on the south bank of the Yarra River, in Melbourne, Australia.
Initially having opened in 1994 on the north bank of the Yarra, Crown Melbourne relocated and re–opened on the south bank of the Yarra, in 1997.
The entire complex has a space of 510,000 m²—the equivalent to two city blocks—making it the largest casino complex in the Southern Hemisphere and one of the largest in the world.
The complex also hosts four hotels, Crown Towers, Crown Promenade, and Crown Metropol, with a fourth hotel approved for construction which is expected to commence in 2018.
The casino is accessible by tram routes 12, 58, 96, 109 which all pass near Southern Cross railway station and the Melbourne City Centre.
Crown's casino complex opened on 8 May 1997, after moving from a temporary location that opened on 30 June 1994 on the north bank of the Yarra.
It was designed by a team of architects and interior designers working in collaboration, including : Bates Smart, Perrott Lyon Mathieson and Daryl Jackson (in association).
Principal practitioners included architects Lyndon Hayward, Bob Sinclair, Peter Dredge, and Hamish Lyon, and interior designers Jeff Copolov, Paul Hecker, Jackie Johnston, Kathy Hall, Fiona Ennis, Jan Eastwood, and Kerry Phelan.
It is one of the central features of the Southbank area in the central business district and the Crown Towers fronts onto the waterfront as part of Southbank Promenade.
Children under the age of 18 are permitted into the entertainment and shopping section of complex, but not into the gaming area or areas serving alcohol.
The entire complex has a space of 510,000 m², making it the largest casino complex in the Southern Hemisphere and one of the largest in the world.
It is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week except on Christmas Day, Good Friday and Anzac Day when it is closed from 4 a.m. to midday.
Amongst other games, Crown provides the six main casino games of blackjack, craps, pai gow, poker, baccarat and roulette and it was also the first to introduce an electronic version of roulette known as Rapid Roulette.
This variation enormously increases the house advantage from around 0.5% in the higher denomination tables, to around 5%, making its odds comparable to double-zero roulette.
As well as three card poker on the main gaming floor, Crown has also offers varieties of poker including Texas hold 'em.
Starting in 2013, it became home to the World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific, the latest expansion of the World Series of Poker.
Crown Casino has 3,500 poker machines on the casino floor, with values ranging from one cent to one dollar, as well as a few two- and five-dollar machines in the VIP areas.
Slot machines at Crown are made by Aristocrat, Ainsworth Gaming Technology (AGT), IGT, Konami and SHFL entertainment/Shuffle Master and WMS Gaming, the latter using Shuffle Master machines.
The regulator overseeing the casino's activities, and to whom grievances can be addressed, is the Victorian Commission for Gambling Regulation (VCGR).
The Crown Entertainment Complex has a rewards program where members earn points on every dollar spent at most outlets within the Crown complex.
Notable guests at the Crown Towers, Crown Metropol and Crown Promenade Hotels have included Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, Nicole Kidman, Rachel Griffiths, One Direction, Keanu Reeves, Kerry Packer, Tiger Woods and Neil Murray and many other high-profile celebrities and politicians.
Roger Federer, and several other tennis players often stay at the Casino during the Australian Open, partly due to the rooftop tennis courts which can be used for training.
It has played host to some of Australia's premier functions, including the annual TV Week Logie Awards, Brownlow Medal, Melbourne Victory Player of the Year Medal, Allan Border Medal and the Australian Formula One Grand Prix ball.
Water veneers the textured granite faces of six towers that are located on a promenade at the Crown Casino along the Yarra River in Melbourne.
In 2013, a man with access to the video feeds from Crown's security cameras via an accomplice cheated the casino out of $33 million.
In September 2015, Rochelle Nolan the fiancée and de facto wife of entertainer/comedian Russell Gilbert, took her own life after a battle with depression and was found deceased in one of the rooms of the hotel.
In 2016, eighteen employees of Crown Casino were detained by Chinese police after having been accused of resorting to gambling crimes.
MARS was selected as an AES finalist in August 1999, after the AES2 conference in March 1999, where it was voted as the fifth and last finalist algorithm.
The MARS design team included Don Coppersmith, who had been involved in the creation of the previous Data Encryption Standard (DES) twenty years earlier.
IBM's official report stated that MARS and Serpent were the only two finalists to implement any form of safety net with regard to would-be advances in cryptographic mathematics.
Thus, there are always two inputs that are unchanged through the multiplication process regardless of the subkey, and two others which have fixed output regardless of the subkey.
A meet-in-the-middle attack published in 2004 by John Kelsey and Bruce Schneier can break 21 out of 32 rounds of MARS.
It is headquartered in the Opera House on the coast of the Töölönlahti bay in Töölö, which opened in 1993, and is state-owned through Senate Properties.
During its six years of operation, Bergbom’s opera company had given 450 performances of a total of 26 operas, and the company had managed to demonstrate that opera can be sung in Finnish too.
After the disbandment of the Finnish Opera, the opera audiences of Helsinki had to confine themselves to performances of visiting opera companies and occasional opera productions at the Finnish National Theatre.
A group of notable social and cultural figures, led by the international star soprano Aino Ackté, founded the Domestic Opera in 1911.
In 1956, the Finnish Opera was, in turn, taken over by the Foundation of the Finnish National Opera, and acquired its present name.
Between 1918 and 1993 the home of the opera was the Alexander Theater, which had been assigned to the company on a permanent basis.
When the first dedicated opera house in Finland was finally completed and inaugurated in 1993, the old opera house was given back its original name, the Alexander Theater, after the Tsar Alexander II.
The Finnish National Opera has some 30 permanently engaged solo singers, a professional choir of 60 singers and its own orchestra of 120 members.
Past music directors and chief conductors have included Armas Järnefelt (1932–36), Tauno Pylkkänen (1960–1967), Okko Kamu (1996–2000), Muhai Tang (2003–2006), and Mikko Franck (2006–2013).
With the 2013–2014 season, the Finnish mezzo-soprano Lilli Paasikivi became artistic director of the company, and the German conductor Michael Güttler became principal conductor with the company.
In August 2017, the company announced the appointment of Patrick Fournillier as its new principal guest conductor, effective with the 2017–2018 season.
In May 2019, the company announced the appointment of Hannu Lintu as its next chief conductor, effective from 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2026.
In December 2017, the company announced the appointment of Madeleine Onne as the next artistic director of Finnish National Ballet, effective August 2018.
Formerly the frontman of the short-lived bands Kat Kool & the Kool Cats, Streetband and Q-Tips, he was turned into a 1980s teen idol by subsequent solo success.
As a youth, after school, he played football for the Vauxhall Motors factory and in his spare time played in several bands as a bass guitarist.
In addition, a four piece brass section was created by Steve Farr (baritone saxophone), Richard Blanchard (tenor saxophone), Stuart Van Blandamer (alto saxophone) and Tony Hughes (trumpet) who all hailed from the North London and Hertfordshire area, while organist Ian Kewley lived in Essex.
This was followed by another at the Horn of Plenty in St Albans - a regular gig for Streetband during 1978 - and a total of 16 in their first month of existence.
Constant touring and concert appearances had built a strong fan base by mid-1981, when the small amount of soul music covers were outnumbered by the band's own tracks.
With poor record sales after the release of two albums and seven singles, the Q-Tips broke up in early 1982 when Paul Young signed a solo recording contract with CBS.
Young's new backing band The Royal Family included keyboardist Kewley, fretless bass player Pino Palladino, guitarist Steve Bolton, drummer Mark Pinder, and backing singers Maz Roberts and Kim Leslie AKA 'The Fabulous Wealthy Tarts'.
1 in the UK singles chart for three weeks in the summer of 1983, the first of 14 British Top 40 singles.
The year 1984 was difficult for Young, as his first heavy promotional and live concert tour of America strained his vocal cords severely, to the extent that he was forced to rest his voice and did not sing for much of the year.
On 18 September 1993 Young performed with Pink Floyd at the Cowdray Ruins charity concert in aid of King Edward VII Hospital.
Young performed the vocal parts originally sung by Roger Waters alongside David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright with Mike Rutherford of Genesis on bass.
In November 2001, when Young was on the final night of the Here and Now tour, Michael Aspel awarded him his This Is Your Life book.
After a lengthy absence of recorded material, Young released an album of vintage soul songs in 2016 called Good Thing produced by Arthur Baker, and began a lengthy period of tours and festival appearances.
I've always loved the Tex-Mex sound and knew a few musicians who had a similar passion for this type of music.
From 1983-93, all of Young's studio albums were released during a contract he had with Columbia Records, and since 1994, Young has released albums through Vision, East West and SonyBMG Records.
Later Ajit Singh quit the Indian National Congress and later formed a new party, the Bharatiya Kisan Kamghar Party in 1996.
In 1998, Mr Ajit Singh launched the Rashtriya Lok Dal which was one of the original parties run by his father and former Prime Minister of India, Ch Charan Singh, and was part of NDA and UPA governments.
It can be considered to be a variant of hemangioma, and is characterized by grossly large dilated blood vessels and large vascular channels, less well circumscribed, and more involved with deep structures, with a single layer of endothelium and an absence of neuronal tissue within the lesions.
Clinical symptoms of CNS origin include recurrent headaches, focal neurological deficits, hemorrhagic stroke, and seizures, but CCM can also be asymptomatic.
In up to 30% there is a coincidence of CCM with a venous angioma, also known as a developmental venous anomaly (DVA).
These lesions appear either as enhancing linear blood vessels or caput medusae, a radial orientation of small vessels that resemble the hair of Medusa from Greek mythology.
This cluster, particularly in northern New Mexico, is an example of the founder effect; it has been traced back to early Spanish settlers.
Recently, it has been shown that CCM1 and CCM2 proteins as well as ICAP1alpha form a macromolecular complex in the cell.
In addition, it appears that CCM2 protein may function as a scaffolding protein for MAP kinases that are essential in p38 activation responding to osmotic stress including MEKK3 and MKK3.
CCM3 is known as PDCD10 (programmed cell death 10), which was initially identified as a gene that is up-regulated during the induction of apoptosis (cell death) in TF-1, a human myeloid cell line.
Research is ongoing to determine the function and properties of all three CCM gene products as well as the reaction pathways in which they are involved.
Recently it has been shown that the deletion of CDC42 in endothelial cells elicits cerebral vascular malformations, suggesting that it may be a fourth gene involved in CCM pathology.
Diagnosis is generally made by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), particularly using a specific imaging technique known as a gradient-echo sequence MRI, which can unmask small or punctate lesions that may otherwise remain undetected.
In the case of hemorrhage, however, a CT scan is more efficient at showing new blood than an MRI, and when brain hemorrhage is suspected, a CT scan may be ordered first, followed by an MRI to confirm the type of lesion that has bled.
Since CCMs are low flow lesions (they are hooked into the venous side of the circulatory system), they will be angiographically occult (invisible).
If a lesion is discernible via angiogram in the same location as in the MRI, then an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) becomes the primary concern.
The incidence in the general population is roughly 0.5%, and clinical symptoms typically appear between 20 and 30 years of age.
Arts Centre Melbourne, originally known as the Victorian Arts Centre and briefly called the Arts Centre, is a performing arts centre consisting of a complex of theatres and concert halls in the Melbourne Arts Precinct, located in the central Melbourne suburb of Southbank in Victoria, Australia.
It was designed by architect Roy Grounds, the masterplan for the complex (along with the National Gallery of Victoria) was approved in 1960 and construction began in 1973 following some delays.
Arts Centre Melbourne is located by the Yarra River and along St Kilda Road, one of the city's main thoroughfares, and extends into the Melbourne Arts Precinct.
Major companies regularly performing include Opera Australia, The Australian Ballet, the Melbourne Theatre Company, The Production Company, Victorian Opera, Bell Shakespeare, Bangarra Dance Theatre and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
Arts Centre Melbourne's site has long been associated with arts and entertainment; in the early 20th century it was occupied variously by a permanent circus venue, an amusement park, a cinema and a dance hall.
The area was a popular venue featuring the Olympia Dancing Place, the Glaciarium Ice-Skating Rink, a Japanese tea house, Snowden Gardens, the Trocadero and the Princes Court with a miniature train and water-chute.
During World War II there was a push to establish a new home for the National Gallery of Victoria, along with a state theatre, on the site.
However, by the 1960s, all the entertainment had left and the lot had turned into an improvised parking for city workers.
After many years of discussion, Roy Grounds was chosen as the architect, and his master plan of a gallery and an adjacent theater under a tall copper spire was approved in 1960.
One of the main challenge of the construction was to dry up and retain the waters out of the base, as the construction went as deep as 7 meters below water levels.
Responsibility for the project lay with the building committee, established in 1956 and chaired by Kenneth Myer from 1965 to 1989.
Actor and film director George Fairfax, having joined the project in 1972, was appointed the first general manager of the building committee and then the trust, a position he held until 1989.
In the early 1970s, due to the expansion of the size of both the theatre and the concert hall required, the addition of a smaller second theatre, and to accommodate difficulties associated with the geology of the site, Roy Grounds completely redesigned the project.
The concert hall was separated out and placed in the riverbank, and the theatres building expanded above ground, with a latticework spire above.
During the first phase of the project from 1972 until 1979 responsibility was with Rupert Hamer as Minister for the Arts (and premier) and during the main construction phase from 1979 to 1982 with Norman Lacy as Minister for the Arts (and Minister of Educational Services).
Once the buildings were nearly complete, and with the death of Roy Grounds in 1981, Academy Award-winning expatriate set designer John Truscott, was employed to decorate the interiors.
His work was constrained only by a requirement to leave elements already constructed, such as Ground's faceted cave-like concert hall interior, to which he applied mineral finishes, and his steel mesh draped ceiling in the State Theatre, to which he added perforated brass balls.
During his tenure, Norman Lacy was constantly called on to defend the Victorian Arts Centre Trust and its construction program during some highly charged public debates in the parliament.
He had to defend the acoustics, the design of the spire, the rejection of the proposed changes to the Concert Hall interiors, the BASS ticketing system of the project, as well as its delays and cost over runs.
The trust were given responsibility for the operation and programming of the publicly owned performing arts spaces that make up the Victorian Arts Centre – the Theatres Building beneath the Spire, Hamer Hall and the Sidney Myer Music Bowl.
Soon after the legislation to establish the trust was passed, Norman Lacy and George Fairfax undertook a study trip to North America and Europe to assess administrative arrangements, educational programs and community initiatives at major performing arts centres in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Washington, Toronto, Ottawa, London and Paris.
The result was the development of Arts Centre Melbourne's management structure during 1981 and a suite of opening and on-going initiatives.
The rest of Arts Centre Melbourne was opened progressively in 1984, with the Theatres building officially opened in October that year.
This signified the completion of one of the largest public works projects in Victorian history, which had been undertaken over a period of almost twenty-five years.
Hamer Hall, situated closest to the river, was initially planned to be almost entirely underground, thus providing a huge open vista between the theatre spire, the river and Flinders Street railway station.
However, construction problems with the foundations, including water seepage, meant the structure had to be raised to three storeys above ground.
Similarly, budget constraints meant that Grounds' design for the Theatres Building, which included a copper-clad spire, were shelved, and a shortened un-clad design was substituted.
Hamer Hall (formerly the Melbourne Concert Hall) is a 2,661 seat concert hall – the largest venue in Arts Centre Melbourne's complex, used for orchestra and contemporary music performances.
It was opened in 1982 and was later renamed Hamer Hall in honour of Sir Rupert Hamer (the 39th Premier of Victoria) shortly after his death in 2004.
The State Theatre is located in the Theatres Building of Arts Centre Melbourne under the spire, and is a 2,077 seat theatre used for opera, ballet and theatre performances.
The Playhouse is also located in the Theatres Building of Arts Centre Melbourne and is an 822-seat theatre used for plays and dance performances.
Arts Centre Melbourne also houses dedicated gallery spaces including newly opened Australian Music Vault (formally Gallery 1 and the George Adams Gallery) on Level 6 (Ground level), Gallery 2 on Level 7, the St Kilda Road Foyer Gallery and the Smorgon Family Plaza, whose walls and central areas are used for exhibitions, in the Theatres Building.
The Performing Arts Collection at Arts Centre Melbourne is the foremost and largest specialist performing arts collection in Australia, with over 510,000 items relating to the history of circus, dance, music, opera and theatre in Australia and of Australian performers overseas.
The original spire envisaged by Roy Grounds was 115 metres tall and because of its complexity was one of the first structures in Australia to rely on computer-aided-design (CAD).
After significant public controversy, political inquiry and financial reassessment, the spire was completed by the Minister for the Arts, Norman Lacy, installing the lightning conductor rod at its pinnacle on 20 October 1981.
By the mid-1990s, signs of deterioration became apparent on the upper spire structure and Arts Centre Melbourne's Trust decided to replace the spire.
The spire is illuminated with some 6,600 metres (21,653 feet) of optic fibre tubing, 150 metres (492 feet) of neon tubing on the mast and 14,000 incandescent lamps on the spire's skirt.
A wedge-tailed eagle and peregrine falcon were utilised in early 2008 to deter groups of sulphur-crested cockatoos from damaging the spire's electrical fittings and thimble-sized lights.
Two sides of the structure were set ablaze by fireworks that apparently discharged improperly, causing flaming debris to fall to the ground.
The population of the countries in Britain and regions of the United Kingdom was last measured by census in 2011. and the Census organisations have produced population estimates for subsequent years by updating the census results with estimates of births, deaths and migration in each year.
The census results, and the annual population estimates, summarised below show that England is by far the most populous country of the United Kingdom and its population is therefore also presented by region.
In 1900, the unincorporated town of Oyster Harbour (established c. 1898) on the east coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, was renamed Ladysmith by James Dunsmuir, in honour of the British lifting the siege of Ladysmith in South Africa (28 February 1900) during the Second Boer War.
In 1847 after buying land from the Zulu king Mpande, a number of Boers settled in the area and called it the Republic of Klip River with Andries Spies as their commandant.
The republic was annexed by the British in the same year and on 20 June 1850 was proclaimed a township called Windsor.
Sir Harry Smith was the British general governor of Cape Colony and high commissioner in South Africa from 1847 to 1852.
During the Second Boer War British commander Lieutenant General Sir George White made Ladysmith his centre of operations for the protection of Natal against the Boer forces.
Starting on 29 October 1899 a number of short-lived battles were fought for control of the town, but after suffering heavy casualties the British forces retreated to Ladysmith and the Boer forces did not make use of the opportunity to follow up the attack and take control of the town.
Following the Battle of Ladysmith, whilst British forces under Lieutenant General Sir George White regrouped in the town, Boer forces surrounded Ladysmith.
The siege lasted 118 days, from 2 November 1899 to 28 February 1900, during the most crucial stage of the war.
Three attempts by General Sir Redvers Buller to break the siege resulted in defeat for the British forces at the battles of Colenso, Spion Kop and Vaal Krantz.
On 6 January 1900 the Boer forces of Commandant-General Piet Joubert attempted to end the siege by taking the town before the British could launch another attempt to break the siege.
Buller finally broke the siege on 28 February 1900 after defeating the Boers by using close cooperation between his infantry and artillery.
Mohandas Gandhi, along with the stretcher-bearing corps that he had established earlier during the war, was involved in a number of actions that took place in and around Ladysmith during the Relief.
The worst flooding in 30 years occurred in 1996 leading to R500 million in damages and the evacuation of 400 families.
In 1949 the Windsor Dam was completed, but this dam silted up very quickly and was not an effective means of flood control.
The Soofi Mosque on the banks of the Klip River was originally built some time between 1895 and 1910, but it was greatly extended in the 1960s.
Other buildings of interest are the Siege Museum, originally built in 1884 as a marketplace and the Town Hall, damaged by Boer artillery during the Second Boer War.
The Danskraal Yard is located on the Free State main line and the Glencoe–Vryheid line and acts as a depot for train marshalling and maintenance as well as rail maintenance.
Traffic traveling between Durban and Johannesburg used to pass through Ladysmith up until the late 1980s, but the completion of the N3, bypassing Ladysmith to the west, has caused a dramatic drop in traffic volumes through this town as well as others that are now bypassed.
Located next to the town hall there is a small museum detailing the battles and history at the time of the Siege.
The Burgher Memorial on Wagon Hill was erected in honour of Boer forces killed during the siege and relief of Ladysmith.
On Platrand there are memorials to the Imperial Light Horse, the Devonshire Regiment, the Earl of Ava and a number of others.
One such structure includes the Anglican All Saints Church, built in 1902 from cut flagstones from a quarry in the area.
Islam also has a strong presence in the town, which is well known for the Soofie Mosque and its astounding architecture.
Ladysmith was also the home of a revered saint known as Hazrath Soofie Sayed Mahomed Abed Mia Osmani, who is buried in the Ladysmith Muslim Cemetery.
The oldest Hindu temple resulted from the amalgamation of Hindu Thirokootam (1910) with the Shree Ganaser Temple and hall erected in 1916.
The present site of the SDS temple(Sanathan Dharma Sabha aka Lord Vishnu Temple) also housed Mahatma Gandhi who established a non-White Stretcher-bearer service in the Ambulance Corps in the Ladysmith and Spioenkop during the Anglo-Boer War.
There are also Rastafarian devotees within the areas surrounding Ladysmith, residing in Waters meet, Peace Town, eZakheni,Steadville ,Saint Chad s, Acaciaville and Roosbom.
Others, however, prefer to treat the mountain skink as a distinct species because its range is geographically distinct and there are morphological differences.
The long-lined skink is gray to light brown in color and has light stripes from the eyes extending to beyond its forelegs, whereas the short-lined skink is darker in color and has stripes that end before the forelegs.
Adults reach a maximum SVL (Snout-Vent-Length) of some 7.5 cm (about 3 inches), and a TL (total length) of about .
Both subspecies live in lightly wooded areas, with the short-lined skink having a preference for rocky areas, whereas the long-lined skink is also found in grasslands.
Prosh refers to both a calendar fundraising event and the satirical annual newspaper written by students at the University of Western Australia to raise funds for nominated charities.
The annual tradition is the collaboration of a team of voluntary students who write, design and edit a spoof newspaper designed to poke fun at current events and political agendas.
The event now involves many carefully designed floats, practical jokes and stunts which are played on the public by participating students.
Over the decades of the prosh procession through the city of Perth, various floats and vehicles of dubious form and function passed through the centre of the city prior to the Hay street and Murray Street malls existence.
Currently, PROSH (which is now one of the oldest UWA traditions) is kept alive by volunteers writing, editing and distributing the newspaper annually in April.
In 2013, the satirical newspaper published a 'dreamtime horoscope' that mocked Indigenous Australians with reference to excessive drinking and disproportional financial support from the government.
The incident received national media attention and an apology was issued by the UWA student guild who committed to change policies and guidelines for Prosh publications.
Hydropneumatic suspension is a type of motor vehicle suspension system, designed by Paul Magès, invented by Citroën, and fitted to Citroën cars, as well as being used under licence by other car manufacturers, notably Rolls-Royce (Silver Shadow), Maserati (Quattroporte II) and Peugeot.
The purpose of this system is to provide a sensitive, dynamic and high-capacity suspension that offers superior ride quality on a variety of surfaces.
The principles illustrated by the successful use of hydropneumatic suspension are now used in a broad range of applications, such as aircraft oleo struts and gas filled automobile shock absorbers, first patented in the U.S. in 1934 by Cleveland Pneumatic Tool Co.
This type of suspension for automobiles was inspired by the pneumatic suspension used for aircraft landing gear, which was also partly filled with oil for lubrication and to prevent gas leakage, as patented in 1933 by the same company.
They also have advantages related to handling and control efficiency, solving a number of problems inherent in steel springs that suspension designers have previously struggled to eliminate.
First, it was patented by the inventor, and second it had a perceived element of complexity, so automakers like Mercedes-Benz, British Leyland (Hydrolastic, Hydragas), and Lincoln sought to create simpler variants using a compressed air suspension.
Citroën's application of the system had the disadvantage that only garages equipped with special tools and knowledge were qualified to work on the cars, making them radically different from ordinary cars with common mechanicals.
The nitrogen gas (air) as spring medium is approximately six times more flexible than conventional steel, so self-leveling is incorporated to allow the vehicle to cope with the extraordinary suppleness provided.
France was noted for the poor quality of its roads after World War II, but the hydropneumatic suspension as fitted to the Citroën ID/DS and later cars reportedly ensured a smooth and stable ride there.
There have been many improvements to the system over the years, including steel anti-roll bars, variable ride firmness (Hydractive), and active control of body roll (Citroën Activa).
This system uses a belt or camshaft driven pump from the engine to pressurise a special hydraulic fluid, which then powers the brakes, suspension and power steering.
In this way the resulting system does not possess any eigenfrequencies and associated dynamic instabilities, which need to be suppressed through extensive damping in conventional suspension systems.
At the heart of the system, acting as pressure sink as well as suspension elements, are the so-called spheres, five or six in all; one per wheel and one main accumulator as well as a dedicated brake accumulator on some models.
Spheres consist of a hollow metal ball, open to the bottom, with a flexible desmopan rubber membrane, fixed at the 'equator' inside, separating top and bottom.
The top is filled with nitrogen at high pressure, up to 75 bar, the bottom connects to the car's hydraulic fluid circuit.
The high pressure pump, powered by the engine, pressurizes the hydraulic fluid (LHM) and an accumulator sphere maintains a reserve of hydraulic power.
It powers the front brakes first, prioritised via a security valve, and depending on type of vehicle, can power the steering, clutch, gear selector, etc.
Suspension works by means of a piston forcing LHM into the sphere, compressing the nitrogen in the upper part of the sphere; damping is provided by a two-way 'leaf valve' in the opening of the sphere.
When the car is too low, the height corrector valve opens to allow more fluid into the suspension cylinder (e.g., the car is loaded).
Citroën quickly realized that standard brake fluid was not ideally suited to high pressure hydraulics, and developed a special red-coloured hydraulic fluid named LHS, which they used from 1954 to 1967.
The chief problem with LHS was that it absorbed moisture and dust from the air, which caused corrosion in the system.
Most hydraulic brake systems are sealed from the outside air by a rubber diaphragm in the reservoir filler cap, but the Citroën system had to be vented to allow the fluid level in the reservoir to rise and fall, thus it was not hermetically sealed.
Since the system recirculates fluid continually through the reservoir, all the fluid was repeatedly exposed to the air and its moisture content.
Cleaning the filters and changing the fluid at the recommended intervals removes most dust and wear particles from the system, ensuring the longevity of the system.
It is also imperative to always use the correct fluid for the system; the two types of fluids and their associated system components are not interchangeable.
If the wrong type of fluid is used, the system must be drained and rinsed with Hydraflush, before draining again and filling with the correct fluid.
The whole high pressure part of the system is manufactured from steel tubing of small diameter, connected to valve control units by Lockheed type pipe unions with special seals made from Desmopan, a type of polyurethane thermoplastic compatible with the LHM fluid.
The other plastic/rubber parts are return tubes from valves such as the brake control or height corrector valves, also catching seeping fluid around the suspension push-rods.
Height corrector, brake master valve and steering valve spools, and hydraulic pump pistons have extremely small clearances (1–3 micrometres) within their cylinders, permitting only a very low leakage rate.
The metal and alloy parts of the system rarely fail, even after excessively high mileages, but the elastomer components (especially those exposed to the air) can harden and leak, typical failure points for the system.
When Citroën designed their Hydractive 3 suspension they redesigned the spheres with new nylon membranes, which greatly slow the rate of deflation.
With no springing other than the (slight) flexibility of tyres, hitting a pothole with a flat sphere can bend the suspension parts or dent a wheel rim.
In the case of main accumulator sphere failure, the high pressure pump is the only source of braking pressure for the front wheels.
Sensors in the steering, brakes, suspension, throttle pedal and gearbox feed information on the car's speed, acceleration, and road conditions to on-board computers.
Where appropriate, and within milliseconds, these computers switch an extra pair of suspension spheres in or out of the circuit, to allow the car a smooth supple ride in normal circumstances, or greater roll resistance for better handling in corners.
This development keeps Citroën in the forefront of suspension design, given the widespread goal in the auto industry of an active suspension system.
Citroën hydractive (Hydractive 1 and Hydractive 2) suspension was available on several models, including the XM and Xantia, which had a more advanced sub-model known as the Activa.
Whenever the Hydractive 1 or 2 computers received abnormal sensor information, often caused by malfunctioning electrical contacts, the car's suspension system would be forced into its firm setting for the remainder of the ride.
Starting with Xantia model year 1994 and XM model year 1995, all models featured an additional sphere that functioned as a pressure reservoir for rear brakes because of new hydraulic locks, letting the car retain normal ride height for several weeks without running the engine.
Compared to earlier cars, the C5 stays at normal ride height even when the engine is turned off for an extended period, through the use of electronics.
The C5 also uses orange synthetic hydraulic fluid named LDS fluid in place of the green LHM mineral oil used in millions of hydropneumatic vehicles.
A further improved Hydractive 3+ variation was for cars with top engines on the Citroën C5 and in 2005 was standard on the Citroën C6.
Little is publicly known about Red Pike, except that it is a block cipher with a 64-bit block size and 64-bit key length.
Red Pike is available to approved British government contractors in software form, for use in confidential (not secret) government communication systems.
Given that Red Pike is a British encryption algorithm, its name likely refers to a particular fell in the western English Lake District.
Drummer Hein Frode Hansen had recently quit his former band Phobia and started looking for a new musical project to play in.
A friend of his told Hein that a band called Suffering Grief was looking for a new drummer, and after contacting them, he joined the band.
They subsequently invited singer Liv Kristine Espenæs - Rohonyi's then girlfriend - to do female vocals for one song, but quickly invited her to join the band permanently.
It was met with a very mixed reception, and while some older fans were understandably shocked by the new direction of the band, it did gain them a number of new fans.
It was also the first album to feature their long-time session guitarist, Vegard K. Thorsen, as a full member of the band.
While still keeping on the industrial and electronic roots of the last two albums, the album showed a return to some of the sounds developed in their first albums.
As usual with the Theatre machinery there is many things to take into consideration when doing stuff and recently we were forced to change collaborators for the production of the album, and postpone the recordings.
On 1 March 2010, Theatre of Tragedy issued a statement informing fans of their decision to split on 2 October 2010.
In September, fans helped the band to secure funds to finish their first and last DVD by making donations when the label pulled out most of the funding for the production.
The result was Last Curtain Call, a concert film from their very last show on 2 October 2010 in their hometown Stavanger.
In December 2015, Liv Kristine did a tour across Germany, Belgium, Russia, Poland, Netherlands, and United Kingdom, with her own solo project.
Sokoto is a city located in the extreme northwest of Nigeria, near the confluence of the Sokoto River and the Rima River.
Being the seat of the former Sokoto Caliphate, the city is predominantly Muslim and an important seat of Islamic learning in Nigeria.
With an annual average temperature of , Sokoto is one of the hottest cities in the world, however the maximum daytime temperatures are generally under most of the year, and the dryness makes the heat bearable.
From late October to February, during the 'cold season', the climate is dominated by the harmattan wind blowing Sahara dust over the land.
The dust dims the sunlight, thereby lowering temperatures significantly and also leading to the inconvenience of dust everywhere in the house.
For the rest, the general dryness of the region allows for few crops, millet perhaps being the most abundant, complemented by maize, rice, other cereals, and beans.
The dry season starts from October, and lasts up to April in some parts and may extend to May or June in other parts.
The wet season on the other hand begins in most parts of the state in May and lasts up to September, or October.
But the weather in the state is always cold in the morning and hot in the afternoons, save in peak harmattan period.
The vast fadama land of the Sokoto-Rima River systems dissects the plain and provides the rich alluvial soil fit for a variety of crop cultivation in the state.
Sokoto had been used as early as October 1804 by the Shehu Usmanu Dan Fodiyo as the venue for the meeting with Galadima, Yunfa's Vizier.
Subsequently, it was used by Muhammad Bello as a staging post for an attack on Dufua in the spring of 1806.
In historical perspective, Sokoto was founded as a ribat (military camp or frontier) in 1809, when Shehu Usmanu was at Sifawa.
In the 1820s, Sokoto was at its peak of prosperity coinciding with the peak of its 'rulers' powers at the center of the caliphate, receiving annual tribute from all the fiefs before a long period of decline.
Barth in 1857 estimated the population at only 20,000–22,000, but the market was still supplied and attended, and a thriving suburb outside the wall was more animated than Sokoto itself.
Bovil aptly described Sokoto as a strong position, with steep escarpments from the east to the north-west and a small valley on the west and the south west protecting it against surprise cavalry attacks.
The town dominates the broad lowland where the two rivers, Rima and Sokoto meet, being the junction of roads from Gobir in the north, Kebbi in the south and Burmi Zamfara in the east.
Such wards include Magajin Gari ward, Waziri ward, Sarkin Musulmi ward, Sarkin Adar ward, Magajin Rafi ward, and Sarkin Zamfara Ward.
At this time the wards were small and surrounded with a wall, which included the mosques of Sultan Bello and Shehu, Sultan Palace and other buildings as well as the compound of Shehu.
In 1818, the wall was extended up to the extent that it has gates that come in and out of the Birni wall.
These include the Gobir and Kebbi kingdoms as well as the world-renowned caliphate whose spiritual and political capital is the headquarters of the state.
Following the conquest of the caliphate by the British in 1903, its various components were made autonomous and joined into the government of Northern Nigeria.
Sokoto state has a projected population of 3.7 million people based on a 2006 census made up of two ethnic groups namely, Hausa and Fulani.
The former marks the end of the Ramadan fast, while the latter features the slaughtering of rams in commemoration of an act of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham).
Traditional wrestling (Kokawa) and boxing (Dambe) are the two sports enjoyed by the Hausa while the Fulani and the Sullubawa entertain themselves with Sharo and Doro respectively.
Important visitors to the state are usually treated to the grand or mini durbar, an event involving the parade of heavily decorated horses and camels mounted by men in full traditional military and cultural attire.
They produce such crops as millet, guinea corn, maize, rice, potatoes, cassava, groundnuts and beans for subsistence and produce wheat, cotton and vegetables for cash.
Local crafts such as blacksmithing, weaving, dyeing, carving and leather works also play an important role in the economic life of the people of Sokoto; as a result different areas like Makera, Marina, Takalmawa and Majema became important.
Agro allied industries using cotton, groundnut, sorghum, gum, maize, rice, wheat sugar cane, cassava, gum Arabic and tobacco as raw materials can be established in the area.
Large scale farming can also be practiced in the state using irrigation water from Goronyo Dam, Lugu, Kalmalo, Wammakko and Kwakwazo lakes among others.
Minerals such as kaolin, gypsum, limestone, laterite, red mills, phosphate both yellow and green, shade clay, sand etc., are available in commercial quantities.
The availability of these economic potentials provides good investment opportunities, particularly in agro-allied industries such as flour mills, tomatoes processing, sugar refining, textiles, glue, tanning, fish canning, etc.
Transport within the city (when not by foot) is mainly by mopeds which operate as one-person taxis and sometimes tricycles transport persons from one place to the other; this allows for carriage of more than one person at a time (still at a cheap price as mopeds).
Yet one of the major consequences of the jihadist was the speeding of this phenomenon not only in Hausaland but also in all areas affected by the caliphate administration.
New towns sprang up and the older birane entered into a period of unprecedented growth, some as new areas of commercial activities, others as both Emirate capitals and centers of administration and commerce.
One of the aspects of urbanization in the history of the Sokoto caliphate started with the establishment of Sokoto city (the headquarters of the caliphate).
But with the success of the jihad led by the Shehu usmau dan Fodiyo (1804–1808) and subsequent victory of the jihadists over the rulers of Hausaland, Sokoto city (headquarters of the caliphate) was built by Muhammad Bello.
Sokoto city as designed by the architect Muhammad Bello consisted of all the characteristic features of any modern city including roads, bridges, market, ganuwa (fortification round centers of town) and as well as administrative and commercial centers.
However, apart from the central market popularly known as Yardole, other commercial areas designed by Muhammad Bello include Makera, Madinka, Marina, Siriddawa, Takalmawa, Runji and Jirgawa.
In addition, among other things no town in either pre-jihad or 19th century Hausaland could develop into an urban center without effective fortification (ganuwa).
This was built with many strongpoints like Kofar Aliyu Jedo, Kofar Dundaye, Kofar Marke, Kofar Rini, Kofar Kware, and Kofar Taramniya, and this paramount development attracted many people to migrate from their locality into Sokoto city for survival.
From the above observation on how caliph Muhammad Bello designed the city of Sokoto we will see that Sokoto witnessed more immigrants with interest in blacksmithing leather works, pottery etc.
For example, some of these people either engage in the business of blacksmithing or in other related business as in Makera Assada.
There are people who used to travel to different parts of present Nigeria and even in neighbouring countries to buy damaged iron materials like damaged vehicles, cars, lorries, aircraft etc.
iron pipes, and oil tanks in order to break them into pieces and sell them for anybody who wants to put them into use or modify them into another product.
Daniel Keys Moran (born November 30, 1962), also known by his initials DKM, is an American computer programmer and science fiction writer.
DKM, his third wife Amy Stout-Moran, and their sons Richard Moran and Connor Moran, along with Amy's two daughters and one son later lived in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles.
Moran had ambitious plans for a 33 volume series, The Tales of the Continuing Time, three novels of which (Emerald Eyes, The Long Run, The Last Dancer) were published in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
There are multiple universes, time travel, cyberpunk, alien invasions, martial arts, dance, paganism, the politics of world government, an interesting twist on non-violent protest, and any number of everyday technologies that were unheard of in 1985 but are surprisingly common today.
This fanciful name for the virtual space created by a global network of interconnected computers is Moran’s extrapolation of what the Internet would become.
Aside from its everyday uses in his stories it also provides another environment in which good and evil can do battle.
But when Players ‘Dance’ in the Crystal Wind they can easily incur the wrath of the authorities, corporate entities, or other denizens of the Crystal Wind.
Its primary tasks are to filter the overwhelming amount of available data into understandable information, and to put into effect (through complex technical means) the wishes of the Player.
In this way, the Player automates as much of the slow human search, analysis, actions and reactions that are much faster using suitably advanced Image algorithms and hardware, while concealing his true identity from the authorities.
In effect, the Player creates a computer version of themselves that requires only occasional input from the slower but more complex human.
Prior to the beginning of the stories, the aforementioned Trent character spent some years developing an Image called ‘Ralf the Wise and Powerful’.
As the events in the stories unfold, it is a seemingly minor point when an eleven-year-old Trent is forced by circumstance to abandon his Image code in the net.
Trent's impressive capabilities are confirmed by the fact that his Image was sophisticated enough to make the leap (with some assistance) to becoming a full sentient AI.
As an independent being Ralf closely adheres to his origins, and acts to support Trent in his efforts to serve the greater good according to his pacifistic moral code.
As of the most recent stories it is unknown what effects the flame has apart from giving the witnesses a deep feeling of spirituality.
After submitting over 700 job applications, he was offered a place in 1937 in the Physics Department of Dillard University, a private, African American liberal arts college in New Orleans.
During World War II he worked as a civilian physicist for the US Army Signal Corps while holding fellowships in physics at the universities of Idaho and Oklahoma.
In 1950, he won a Carnegie Grant that allowed him to visit Albert Einstein at his home in Princeton, New Jersey, and also to visit the Institute for Advanced Studies.
In 1952 Miller joined the Physics Department at the then small El Camino College in Torrance, California (1952–1974), to maximum student enrollments due to his great popularity and where he was instantly recognizable by his casual hair and horn-rimmed eyeglasses.
Miller was intolerant of misspelled words and misplaced punctuation, and often angered his colleagues because he charged that the students of most faculty were not learning enough.
During an interview in the 1940s, he stated that intellectual life in America was in trouble, a belief he held for the rest of his life.
Boys and girls are emerging from every level of school with certificates and degrees, but they can't read, write or calculate.
From 1963 to 1986, Miller was the visiting lecturer for the Physics Department of the University of Sydney, and from 1965 to 1985 at the US Air Force Academy.
During the same period, he appeared on a semi-regular basis performing physics experiments, on Steve Allen's late night TV show in Hollywood, syndicated by Group W. Eventually, he also had his own TV shows in Australia, Canada, Norway, and New Zealand.
A paper straw normally does not have sufficient strength but if one pinches the end, the trapped air acts as a piston, easily piercing the potato.
Due to budget constraints the offer was withdrawn, but an agreement was reached for Miller to host his own science-based TV series which was filmed at the University of Sydney where he taught.
Fellow presenters included Professor Harry Messel, the astrophysicist, and the young James Watson, fresh from his triumphant co-discovery of the helical structure of DNA, but decades ahead of his work on the Human Genome.
A common ploy would be to hold up an empty glass and ask guests to confirm it was empty...then chide them for not noticing it was full of air.
While in Australia, Miller also appeared in ads for non-stick saucepans and Ampol petroleum, which included demonstrations of real principles of physics, albeit briefly.
In February 1987, Miller became ill while visiting Australia and returned to the United States where he was diagnosed with leukemia.
Professor Miller's wife, Alice Brown Miller, wanted to perpetuate the memory and achievements of her husband, and so conceived the idea of the Julius Sumner Miller Foundation, which was established in 1998.
Through an offer by Cadbury-Schweppes Pty Ltd, the Cadbury-Julius Sumner Miller Scholarship for Academic Excellence was set up to provide undergraduate scholarships in the School of Physics at the University of Sydney.
Put another way, it contains the theory of elliptic functions with extra symmetries, such as are visible when the period lattice is the Gaussian integer lattice or Eisenstein integer lattice.
It has an aspect belonging to the theory of special functions, because such elliptic functions, or abelian functions of several complex variables, are then 'very special' functions satisfying extra identities and taking explicitly calculable special values at particular points.
It has also turned out to be a central theme in algebraic number theory, allowing some features of the theory of cyclotomic fields to be carried over to wider areas of application.
David Hilbert is said to have remarked that the theory of complex multiplication of elliptic curves was not only the most beautiful part of mathematics but of all science.
An elliptic function formula_2 is said to have complex multiplication if there is an algebraic relation between formula_3 and formula_4 for all formula_5 in formula_6 .
and where the point at infinity, the zero element of the group law of the elliptic curve, is by convention taken to be formula_23.
If the lattice defining the elliptic curve is actually preserved under multiplication by (possibly a proper subring of) the ring of integers formula_24 of formula_6, then the ring of analytic automorphisms of formula_26 turns out to be isomorphic to this (sub)ring.
This means that the j-invariant of formula_31 is an algebraic number – lying in formula_6 – if formula_31 has complex multiplication.
The ring of endomorphisms of an elliptic curve can be of one of three forms:the integers Z; an order in an imaginary quadratic number field; or an order in a definite quaternion algebra over Q.
It is known that, in a general sense, the case of complex multiplication is the hardest to resolve for the Hodge conjecture.
Kronecker first postulated that the values of elliptic functions at torsion points should be enough to generate all abelian extensions for imaginary quadratic fields, an idea that went back to Eisenstein in some cases, and even to Gauss.
Many generalisations have been sought of Kronecker's ideas; they do however lie somewhat obliquely to the main thrust of the Langlands philosophy, and there is no definitive statement currently known.
It was formed by the Labour MP, Dick Taverne when his Constituency Labour Party (Lincoln) asked him to stand down as their candidate at the next general election.
He had fallen out with them over Britain's continued membership of the European Economic Community which he supported but they did not.
His initial ambitions were to eventually re-join the Labour Party, but there were some who attempted to persuade him to try to establish a new party of the political centre.
Taverne resigned from parliament at the same time that he resigned from the Labour Party in order to force the issue into the open, and he won the ensuing Lincoln by-election, held in March,1973.
His victory was aided by the lack of a Liberal candidate as it decided instead to support his candidacy (in those days the party was only able to stand in a limited number of places and had a very limited base to work from in Lincoln) and the controversial adoption of Jonathan Guinness by the Conservatives.
He did not stand in the seat again, but Democratic Labour continued to organise politically, to the extent that Democratic Labour controlled Lincoln City Council from 1973 until 1979 and across England during the 1973 local elections Democratic Labour candidates achieved some success.
Both were unsuccessful in their attempts to gain seats in the House of Commons, losing their deposits (at that time, 12.5% of the vote was needed to keep deposits, falling to 5% after the 1983 General Election).
In many ways, Democratic Labour can be seen as a forerunner of the Social Democratic Party, which was formed by many of the viewpoints as Taverne, that broke away from Labour in the early 1980s.
The Indian national cricket team won the 1983 Cricket World Cup, the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, the 2011 Cricket World Cup, the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, and shared the 2002 ICC Champions Trophy with Sri Lanka.
The domestic competitions include the Ranji Trophy, the Duleep Trophy, the Vijay Hazare Trophy, the Deodhar Trophy, the Irani Trophy and the NKP Salve Challenger Trophy.
In addition, the BCCI conducts the Indian Premier League, a Twenty20 competition, which is also one of the biggest sports leagues in the world and the biggest cricket league in the world.
While cricket is by far the most popular sport in the country it is not the country's national sport since India has no national sport.
The Indian team shares a rivalry with the Pakistani team, and India-Pakistan matches are some of the most anticipated matches, and most watched television broadcasts in the country.
The entire history of cricket in India and the sub-continent as a whole is based on the existence and development of the British Raj via the East India Company.
India became a member of the 'elite club' joining Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand and the West Indies in June 1932.
India's first match in Lords against England attracted a massive crowd of 24,000 people as well as the King of the United Kingdom.
The major and defining event in the history of Indian cricket during this period was the Partition of India following full independence from the British Raj in 1947.
An early casualty of change was the Bombay Quadrangular tournament, which had been a focal point of Indian cricket for over 50 years.
As part of 14 consecutive victories in the Ranji Trophy from 1958–59 to 1972–73, Bombay won the title in all ten seasons of the period under review.
Bombay continued to dominate Indian domestic cricket, with only Karnataka, Delhi, and a few other teams able to mount any kind of challenge during this period.
In 1983, again in England, India were surprise winners of the 1983 Cricket World Cup under the captaincy of Kapil Dev.
During the 1970s, the Indian cricket team began to see success overseas beating New Zealand, and holding Australia, South Africa and England to a draw.
Prasanna, BS Chandrasekhar and Srinivas Venkataraghavan, giving rise to what would later be called the Golden Era of Indian cricket history.
This decade also saw the emergence of two of India's best ever batsmen, Sunil Gawaskar and Gundappa Vishwanath responsible for the back-to-back series wins in 1971 in the West Indies and in England, under the captaincy of Ajit Wadekar.
Several team names and spellings were altered during the 1990s when traditional Indian names were introduced to replace those that were associated with the British Raj.
During the 1980s, India developed a more attack-focused batting line-up with talented batsmen such as Mohammad Azharuddin, Dilip Vengsarkar and Ravi Shastri prominent during this decade.
(Despite India's victory in the Cricket World Cup in 1983, the team performed poorly in the Test arena, including 28 consecutive Test matches without a victory.
This appointment met success internationally as India maintained their unbeaten home record against Australia in Test series after defeating them in 2001 and won the inaugural ICC World T20 in 2007.
India's victory against the Australians in 2001 marked the beginning of a dream era for the team under the captainship of Sourav Ganguly, winning Test matches in Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, West Indies and England.
India also shared a joint victory with Sri Lanka in the ICC Championship, and went on to the finals in the 2003 Cricket World Cup only to be beaten by Australia.
In September 2007, India won the first ever Twenty20 World Cup held in South Africa, beating their arch-rivals Pakistan by 5 runs in a thrilling final.
India won the Cricket World Cup in 2011 under the captainship of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the first time since 1983 – they beat Sri Lanka in the final held in Mumbai.
For example, the English schedule under which the nation tours other countries during winter and plays at home during the summer.
Cricket in India is managed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the richest cricket board in the cricket world, yet, average cricket fans cannot get hold of tickets to see matches, much of which are distributed as largesse.
Indian International Cricket Squad has also provided some of the greatest players to the world, the biggest example of which is Sachin Tendulkar.
India has won two World Championship cups in 1983 under the captaincy of Kapil Dev and recently won in year 2011 under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, which is won after a span of 28 years.
The first unregulated test transmissions in Austria began on 1 April 1923 by , run by the radio pioneer and enthusiast Oskar Czeija (; 1887–1958), who applied for a radio license in 1921; first in his telephone factory in the district of Vienna, later in the nearby TGM technical college.
One year later, a powerful transmitter, designed by the German company, was installed on the roof of the former War Ministry building on in central Vienna.
Regular transmissions began on 1 October 1924 from provisional studios inside the War Ministry building that were to become known as '.
In the course of the abolition of the First Austrian Republic and the implementation of the Austrofascist ' by Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuß in 1934, the studios were embattled during the Austrian Civil War in February, as well as by the protagonists of the Nazi July Putsch, when several insurgents entered the studio and had Dollfuß's resignation announced (he actually was killed in his occupied Chancellery office).
The Austrian government widely used RAVAG broadcasts for propaganda activities, defying massive cross-border Nazi propaganda broadcasts aired from German transmitters in the Munich region, but also promoted the live transmission of mass celebrations.
With the Austrian ' to Nazi Germany and the invasion of Wehrmacht troops in 1938, RAVAG was dissolved and replaced by ' subordinate to the national ' network (' from 1939) in Berlin, were also the programmes were produced.
Only hours later, live broadcasts featured the cheering devotees of his Nazi successor Arthur Seyss-Inquart, the triumphant entry of Adolf Hitler in Linz the next day, and his speech on Vienna Heldenplatz.
Following the defeat, independent Austrian RAVAG radio broadcasting resumed in Allied-occupied Austria 24 April 1945, when it announced the formation of a provisional Austrian state government led by Karl Renner.
A new ' station was founded, broadcasting from ' by a provisional transmitter on the rooftop, once again under Oskar Czeija, who nevertheless was ousted shortly afterwards on pressure by the Soviet military administration.
The RAVAG/Radio Wien transmissions were limited to the Eastern Austrian Soviet occupation zone, and as the Cold War progressed was increasingly considered Communist propaganda broadcasting.
A number of other radio stations began broadcasting in the different occupation zones and radio become a popular medium among Austrians: in 1952 there were 1.5 million radio sets in Austrian homes.
The Western Allies could operate their programmes nationwide from Vienna, with a significantly higher popularity rating than the outdated RAVAG transmissions.
All of these radio channels are broadcast terrestrially on FM and via the digital service of the SES Astra satellites at 19.2° east.
ORF is a supporter of the Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV (HbbTV) initiative that is promoting and establishing an open European standard for hybrid set-top boxes for the reception of broadcast TV and broadband multimedia applications with a single user interface.
The ORF has one regional studio in each state, where each state produces its own radio and state television, which is broadcast over ORF2.
Even though each state has its own studio, most ORF productions are heavily focused on Vienna, since most shows are made there.
Honey is a 2003 American dance film directed by Billie Woodruff and stars Jessica Alba, Mekhi Phifer, Romeo Miller, Joy Bryant, David Moscow, with featured performances by Tweet, Jadakiss and Ginuwine and a cameo by Missy Elliott.
Honey Daniels holds down jobs as a bartender, a record store clerk and a dance teacher at a community center run by her mother in New York.
Honey's dream is to make it as a renowned hip hop choreographer even though her mother presses her to teach ballet in an Uptown school.
When Honey hits the dance floor after her shift at the club she works at where her rival Katrina performs, the two are recorded as they try to out dance each other.
When Honey and friend Gina leave the club, they encounter brothers Benny and Raymond street dancing with other kids from the neighborhood.
The video from the club catches the attention of music director Michael Ellis, who gives Honey a job as a backup dancer in Jadakiss' new video.
Honey's new choreography career brings her money, fame and freedom, but at the same time takes her away from the center and the kids in the neighborhood.
She offers him a job as her assistant in the coming week for Tweet's video if he keeps himself out of trouble.
Meanwhile, she convinces Michael to let her use the kids she teaches at the center as backup dancers in Ginuwine's new video she's been promised with a fresh take on his video theme.
Since Benny has been out of trouble, BB (the drug dealer he works for) goes to Honey's apartment and threatens her.
She begins to date Chaz and he inspires her to focus on what makes her happy and not the fame her career can bring.
Honey made plans to take Gina to Atlantic City for her birthday, but Michael tells her that they have an important meeting they can not miss.
When Honey asks Michael for his phone so she can call Gina, his associates encourage him to follow her and he drunkenly hits on her.
Gina is furious when she sees Honey in the paper being kissed by Michael since she claimed it was work (not play) that kept her from her birthday celebration.
When the day of Ginuwine's video comes, Michael shows up on set with Katrina and changes the video's concept back to the standard exotic cars and scantily clad females.
Benny also comes to the realization that Honey cared enough to come visit him and that he could do a lot better with his life.
Since the ruined Ginuwine video, the large choreography checks haven't been coming in and the remainder of the down payment needs to be paid or the store will go back on the market.
She comes up with the idea to hold a dance benefit at an abandoned church and Benny (released from juvy) brings his dance friends to help prep for the benefit.
She makes it clear that she will postpone the filming of her video until Michael fires Katrina and brings in Honey.
She refuses both his apology and his help, saying she will pay for the studio on her own since she now sees her value.
Before leaving, she tells Michael on how selfish and arrogant he is and makes him realise that not only did his selfishness get Honey fired from her job but make her unintentionally upset her dance students who were hoping to star as backstage dancers in Ginuwine’s upcoming music video.
The benefit is a full house with Honey's parents, Benny and Raymond's overworked mother, Tweet and Honey's boyfriend Chaz in attendance.
Honey's Dad brought her mother to the benefit as a surprise and for the first time, she sees that the dance form her daughter loves can give her all that ballet could.
At the end, the kids bring Honey up to give her recognition for all she has done and the bank manager assures Honey that the building is fully funded.
Missy Elliott arrives as the benefit finishes and rushes in to finally meet Honey in person after berating her directionless driver for making her late.
As the credits roll, we watch Missy introduce the R&B group Blaque to Honey at her new dance studio, The Bronx Dance Center to prepare them for their new video.
A number of popular hip hop and R&B musicians, groups and producers play themselves in prominent cameos, including Missy Elliott, Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, Shawn Desman, Ginuwine, Rodney Jerkins, 3rd Storee, Tweet, and Blaque.
The film is inspired by the life of choreographer Laurieann Gibson, who was the film's choreographer and appeared on screen as Katrina, the main character's rival.
Singer/actress Aaliyah was originally cast as Honey, though the role was later recast to Jessica Alba due to Aaliyah's death in August 2001.
Rotten Tomatoes gives film a score of 21% based on reviews from 115 critics, with an average rating of 4.2 out of 10.
The final box office was $30.3 million in the U.S. and Canada and $31.9 million in other countries, for a total of $62.2 million worldwide.
It featured a rear ramp loading door and was intended to carry light vehicles, artillery pieces, or up to 70 paratroopers.
The Tupolev Tu-110 (NATO reporting name: Cooker) was a jet airliner designed and built in the USSR, which saw its maiden flight in .
1511-846 on 12 August 1956, requiring the Tupolev Design Bureau to develop a four-engined version of the Tu-104, to enable the aircraft to safely cross large expanses of ocean, and improve safety on takeoff in case of engine failure.
The Tu-110 was a major redesign of the Tu-104, powered by four Lyulka AL-7 turbojets rated at 5,500 kgf (53.9 kN; 12,100 lbf) thrust each, with two staggered engines in the root of each extended centresection.
Production of the Tu-110 was authorised at the Kazan Aircraft Factory, with an initial order for ten aircraft, but only three aircraft were completed before the programme was terminated.
The production aircraft featured extended-chord wings and enlarged baggage holds, as well as seating for up to 100 passengers in an all-tourist class seating arrangement.
All four aircraft were converted to Tu-110Bs with Soloviev D-20 turbofan engines, in an attempt to improve the performance of the aircraft, but to no avail.
No further orders were forthcoming and the four Tu-110B's were used for experimental work on avionics, missile systems and boundary layer control systems, remaining active into the 1970s.
The Campaign for Social Democracy was a minor political party which stood candidates in the February 1974 United Kingdom general election.
The party was formed in September 1973 by Dick Taverne, who had resigned from the Labour Party, after falling out with his Constituency Labour Party over the European Economic Community.
Taverne had formed the Democratic Labour Association in Lincoln and had been elected as an MP for Lincoln under that banner in a by-election in March, 1973.
He formed the Campaign for Social Democracy as an attempt to build a radical non-doctrinaire social democratic movement, and at the February 1974 general election they stood four candidates against leading Labour left-wingers, including Tony Benn.
The campaign was wound up when the Labour Party won the October 1974 United Kingdom general election, making a split in the Labour Party less likely.
Gun dogs, or bird dogs, are types of hunting dogs developed to assist hunters in finding and retrieving game, usually birds.
Gun dogs, or bird dogs, are types of hunting dogs developed to assist hunters in finding and retrieving game, usually birds.
Although classified according to method of work, gun dogs often have skills which extend beyond the tasks outlined for their classification.
When a pair of dogs work as a team, one works close in while the other ranges out in larger circles.
They should readily comply if the handler casts them to an area of particular interest, such as a brush pile or shuck of corn.
Pointing dogs excel on covey type birds such as bobwhite, quail, and grouse as these birds will hold in position well, allowing the hunter to approach and get into position.
Flushers will not cover the same amount of ground as a pointing dog as the flusher must be kept within shotgun distance.
Flushing dogs excel on these types of bird because they do not point the birds, giving them little time for escape on the ground.
Once commanded, the dog will race to the point of fall, pick up the bird, and return it to the handler.
Since a majority of waterfowl hunting employs the use of small boats in winter conditions, retrievers are expected to remain sitting calmly and quietly until sent to retrieve.
As birds move into range, a well-trained retriever will watch and follow the handler's gun as he shoots, marking, and remembering each bird that is downed.
If a dog did not see the bird fall, a retriever takes direction from the handler, who can use hand and whistle signals to guide the dog to the unseen downed bird.
When competing in conformation shows most kennel clubs, including the The Kennel Club group pedigree gun dog breeds together in their own gun dog group, whilst some such as the American Kennel Club group them in a sporting group.
William Francis Giauque (; May 12, 1895 – March 28, 1982) was an American chemist and Nobel laureate recognized in 1949 for his studies in the properties of matter at temperatures close to absolute zero.
Following the death of his father in 1908, the family returned to Niagara Falls, where he studied at the Niagara Falls Collegiate Institute.
After graduation, he looked for work in various power plants at Niagara Falls both for financial reasons and to pursue a career in electrical engineering.
Eventually, however, his application was accepted by the Hooker Electro-Chemical Company in Niagara Falls, New York, which led him to employment in their laboratory.
After two years of employment, he entered the College of Chemistry of the University of California, Berkeley, where he received a bachelor of science degree with honors in 1920.
Although he began university study with an interest in becoming an engineer, he soon developed an interest in research under the influence of Professor Gilbert N. Lewis.
Due to his outstanding performance as a student, he became an Instructor of Chemistry at Berkeley in 1922 and after passing through various grades of professorship, he became a full Professor of Chemistry in 1934.
He became interested in the third law of thermodynamics as a field of research during his experimental research for his Ph.D. research under Professor George Ernest Gibson comparing the relative entropies of glycerine crystals and glass.
The principal objective of his researches was to demonstrate through range of appropriate tests that the third law of thermodynamics is a basic natural law.
In 1926, he proposed a method for observing temperatures considerably below 1 Kelvin (1 K is −457.87 °F or −272.15 °C).
He developed a magnetic refrigeration device of his own design in order to achieve this outcome, getting closer to absolute zero than many scientists had thought possible.
This trailblazing work, apart from proving one of the fundamental laws of nature led to stronger steel, better gasoline and more efficient processes in a range of industries.
His researches and that of his students included a large number of entropy determinations from low temperature measurements, particularly on condensed gases.
The entropies and other thermodynamic properties of many gases were also determined from quantum statistics and molecular energy levels available from band spectra as well as other sources.
His correlated investigations of the entropy of oxygen with Dr. Herrick L. Johnston, led to the discovery of oxygen isotopes 17 and 18 in the Earth's atmosphere and showed that physicists and chemists had been using different scales of atomic weight for years without recognising it.
Andrew Vicari (born Andrea Antonio Giovanni Vaccari, 20 April 1932 – 3 October 2016) was a Welsh painter working in France, who established a career painting portraits of prominent people.
Despite being largely unknown in his own country, Vicari was Britain's richest living painter, and at one time Britain 18th richest person.
Vicari was born in Port Talbot, Wales, in 1932 to Italian parents, Vittorio Vaccari ('tobacconist and confectioner'), and his wife, Italini Bertani, from Parma.
Between 1950 and 1952 he studied painting at the Slade School of Fine Art at University College London (UCL) under William Coldstream and occasionally Lucian Freud as teachers.
He then began working in London as a portrait painter and in 1961 a large show of his work was put on in the former Debenhams showroom near Leicester Square financed by the band leader and impresario Jack Hylton.
In the following decades, he painted many portraits of the Saudi royal family as well as scenes of Riyadh and Bedouin life.
Salinger was born February 13, 1960 in Windsor, Vermont, the son of author J. D. Salinger and psychologist Alison Claire Douglas.
Salinger graduated from Phillips Academy Andover and attended Princeton University before graduating from Columbia University with a degree in art history and drama.
Dick Taverne, Baron Taverne, QC (born 18 October 1928) is an English Liberal Democrat politician and life peer in the House of Lords.
In 1972 he was deselected as a Labour Member of Parliament (MP) for Lincoln, so he left the Labour Party and resigned his seat, forcing a by-election which he won.
However, his success opened the possibility of a realignment on the left of British politics, which took shape in 1981 as the Social Democratic Party (SDP), which Taverne joined.
Educated at Charterhouse School, and then Balliol College, Oxford, he graduated in Philosophy and Ancient History, qualified as a barrister in 1954 and became a Queen's Counsel (QC) in 1965.
He unsuccessfully contested Putney as the Labour Party candidate at the 1959 general election, and was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Lincoln at a by-election in March 1962.
Under Harold Wilson's premiership in the 1960s, he served as a Home Office Minister from 1966 to 1968, Minister of State at the Treasury from 1968 to 1969 and then as Financial Secretary to the Treasury from 1969 to 1970.
In 1970, he helped to launch the Institute for Fiscal Studies, now an influential independent think tank and was the first Director, later chairman.
He was re-elected as an Independent Democratic Labour candidate at a by-election in March 1973, and held the seat at the February 1974 general election.
When the Social Democratic Party (SDP) was formed in the early 1980s, he joined them, serving on their national committee from 1981 until 1987.
He stood as an SDP candidate in the 1982 Peckham by-election, coming second with 32% of the vote, and in the 1983 general election, he stood in Dulwich, coming third with 22%.
When the SDP merged with the Liberal Party he joined the new Liberal Democrats, serving on its Federal Policy Committee from 1989 until 1990.
In May 2006 he was an unsuccessful candidate for the Liberal Democrats in local elections to Westminster City Council in the Marylebone High Street ward.
He became interested in science and public policy, and in 2002 founded Sense About Science, a charity with the objective of advancing public understanding of science and the evidence-based approach to scientific issues.
He was a member of the House of Lords Committee on the Use of Animals in Scientific Procedures, and is currently a member of the Science and Technology Committee of the House of Lords.
He is an Honorary Associate of the National Secular Society and a Distinguished Supporter of Humanists UK, as well as a vice-chair of the All Party Parliamentary Humanist Group.
It was established between 1883 and 1887, after the ruling Somalis and Afar sultans each signed a treaty with the French.
The March 11, 1862, agreement the Afar sultan, Raieta Dini Ahmet, signed in Paris was a treaty where the Afars sold the territory of Obock for 10,000 thalaris, around 55,000 francs.
Later on, that treaty was used by the captain of the Fleuriot de Langle to colonize the south of the Bay of Tadjoura.
In March 26, 1885 the French signed another treaty with the Somalis where the latter would become a protectorate under the French, no monetary exchange occurred and Somalis did not sign away any of their rights to the land, the agreement was to protect their land from outsiders with the help of the French.
However, after the French sailors of the vessel Le Pingouin were mysteriously killed in Ambado in 1886, the French blamed first the British, then the Somalis and further used that incident to lay claim to the entire southern territory.
The construction of the Imperial Ethiopian Railway west into Ethiopia turned the port of Djibouti into a boomtown of 15,000 at a time when Harar was the only city in Ethiopia to exceed that.
Although the population fell after the completion of the line to Dire Dawa and the original company failed and required a government bail-out, the rail link allowed the territory to quickly supersede the caravan-based trade carried on at Zeila (then in the British area of Somaliland) and become the premier port for coffee and other goods leaving southern Ethiopia and the Ogaden through Harar.
The railway continued to operate following the Italian conquest of Ethiopia but, following the tumult of the Second World War, the area became an overseas territory of France in 1946.
In 1967, French Somaliland was renamed the French Territory of the Afars and the Issas and, in 1977, it became the independent country of Djibouti.
Edna Mae Durbin (December 4, 1921 – April 17, 2013), known professionally as Deanna Durbin, was a Canadian-born actress and singer, later settled in France, who appeared in musical films in the 1930s and 1940s.
With the technical skill and vocal range of a legitimate lyric soprano, she performed many styles from popular standards to operatic arias.
As she matured, Durbin grew dissatisfied with the girl-next-door roles assigned to her, and attempted to portray a more womanly and sophisticated style.
Durbin retired from acting and singing in 1949, and withdrew from public life, granting no interviews for the remainder of her life, except for one in 1983.
Edna Mae Durbin was born on December 4, 1921, at Grace Hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the younger daughter of James Allen Durbin (1885–1976) and his wife Ada (née Read) Durbin (1885–1972), who were originally from Chester, England.
When she was an infant, her family moved from Winnipeg to Southern California, and her parents became United States citizens in 1923.
By the time she was 10, her parents recognized that she had definite talent and enrolled her in voice lessons at the Ralph Thomas Academy.
In early 1935, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was planning a biographical film on the life of opera star Ernestine Schumann-Heink and was having difficulty finding an actress to play the young opera singer.
MGM casting director Rufus LeMaire heard about a talented young soloist performing with the Ralph Thomas Academy and called her in for an audition.
The film was intended as a demonstration of their talent as performers as studio executives had questioned the wisdom of casting two female singers together.
When producer Joe Pasternak cast the film, he wanted to borrow Garland from MGM, but Garland was not available at the time.
Andrés de Segurola, who was the vocal coach working with Universal Studios—himself a former Metropolitan Opera singer—believed that Durbin was a potential opera star.
Also in 1936, Durbin began a radio collaboration with Eddie Cantor which lasted until 1938, when her heavy workload for Universal forced her to quit her weekly appearances.
A musical comedy in a Western setting, this production was filmed mostly on location in southern Utah and co-starred Robert Paige.
In 1946, Durbin was the second-highest paid woman in the United States, just behind Bette Davis, and in 1947, she was the top-salaried woman in the United States.
On August 22, 1948, two months after completing her final film, Universal-International announced a lawsuit which sought to collect from Durbin $87,083 in wages the studio had paid her in advance.
Her second marriage to film writer-producer-actor Felix Jackson in 1945 produced a daughter, Jessica Louise Jackson, but a divorce followed in 1949.
In the interview, she steadfastly asserted her right to privacy and maintained it until the end of her life, declining to be profiled on websites.
According to the Social Security Death Index (under the name Edna M. David), she died on April 17, 2013 in Neauphle-le-Château, France.
Indian-Bengali film director Satyajit Ray, in his acceptance speech for an Oscar (Honorary – Lifetime Achievement) in 1992, mentioned Deanna Durbin as the only one of the three cinema personalities he recalled writing to when young who had acknowledged his fan letter with a reply.
It was officially inaugurated as a National Trail on 24 May 2007 and several new rights of way have been created.
The Cotswold Way route was first suggested some 50 years ago by Gloucestershire-area Ramblers, of which Tony Drake (d. 7 March 2012) of Cheltenham area and the late Cyril Trenfield of the South Gloucestershire area were principals.
Although recognised as a suitable route for a National Trail in due course, the path was initially sponsored by Gloucestershire County Council, who had no powers of footpath creation, and so used only existing rights of way.
An early guide to the Way, in the hand-drawn pictorial style of Alfred Wainwright, was produced by another Cheltenham-area rambler, Mark Richards, in 1973.
Following the passing of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act of 1949, which made provision for the designation and creation of long distance paths, I put forward the idea of a footpath route following the Cotswold escarpment.
This met with great interest but the plans which the Gloucestershire Committee of the Ramblers Association submitted to the National Parks Commission in 1953, though acknowledged and mentioned in the Commission's annual report of that year, was nevertheless pigeonholed and largely forgotten until Gloucestershire County Council prepared its recreational plan for the countryside in 1968.
The County Council decided to designate a Cotswold Way route itself, using existing public rights of way, and the scheme was launched during Footpath Week in May 1970.
As it closely follows the scarp of the Cotswold Edge, the Cotswold Way usually affords views, mainly to the north and west—starting in the south with the Severn Estuary and Severn bridges, the meanders of the River Severn above Sharpness, the Forest of Dean, the Welsh hills of Monmouthshire and the Black Mountains on the Welsh border to the west.
The distinctive shape of May Hill is visible for much of the route, as is the long spine of the Malvern Hills.
Further north on the path, above Cheltenham, there are old quarries containing rock features such as the Devil's Chimney at Leckhampton.
The classic Cotswold villages of Stanton and Stanway are visited, then Broadway village, before the final steep ascent to Broadway Tower and the scenic descent to Chipping Campden.
The trail runs northeast from Bath to Chipping Campden, through or near to the following towns: Old Sodbury, near Chipping Sodbury, Wotton-under-Edge, Dursley, Stroud, Painswick, Cranham, Leckhampton, Cheltenham, Winchcombe, Stanway and Broadway.
It passes numerous places of interest, including the site of the Battle of Lansdowne, the Somerset Monument, the Tyndale Monument, Sudeley Castle, Cleeve Hill, Hailes Abbey, and the Broadway Tower.
With the exception of a small stretch around Broadway (which is in Worcestershire), the entire walk is within Gloucestershire (including South Gloucestershire) and Somerset (including Bath and North East Somerset).
Greater New Haven is the metropolitan area whose extent includes those towns in the U.S. state of Connecticut that share an economic, social, political, and historical focus on the city of New Haven.
The region is known for its educational and economic connections to Yale University, oceanside recreation and the beach-community feel of the shoreline towns east of New Haven, and the trap rock landscapes stretching north from New Haven.
The New Haven metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is the set of municipalities containing the contiguous urbanized area centered on the city of New Haven.
A service delivery area is a geographical area within which employment and training services are provided under the Job Training Partnership Act.
A labor market area, as defined by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, is an economically integrated area within which individuals can reside and find employment within a reasonable distance or can readily change employment without changing their place of residence.
The New Haven NECTA is the set of towns containing the contiguous urbanized area centered on the city of New Haven, plus additional outlying towns that have a sufficient number of people commuting into the central towns.
This definition includes 23 towns, adding the following ten towns: Chester, Cheshire, Clinton, Deep River, Durham, Essex, Killingworth, Meriden, Middlefield, Old Saybrook, and Westbrook.
This definition includes a significant portion of the Lower Connecticut River Valley, which is not usually included in local definitions of Greater New Haven.
The New Haven MSA is the set of counties containing the contiguous urbanized area centered on the city of New Haven.
This definition, while consistent with national definitions of metropolitan areas, includes the city of Waterbury and its southern and eastern suburbs, which are not usually included in local definitions of Greater New Haven.
Metro North's New Haven Line serves New Haven State St and New Haven Union Station in downtown New Haven, West Haven as well as Milford.
Shore Line East serves both New Haven stations plus Branford, Guilford, Madison, Clinton and Westbrook in the region, with service to Old Saybrook and New London as well as limited service to west of New Haven.
Both of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor services go through New Haven Union Station; most Acela Express and all Northeast Regional trains stop.
Previously an industrial maritime powerhouse of the region and once Scotland's greatest coal port, it is now redirecting itself towards a green energy future.
Prior to the Reformation when Methil was absorbed into the Parish of Wemyss, it was an independent parish centred around a church situated inland of what is now Methilmill Cemetery.
In the 17th century, it developed as a coastal village, first with a tidal harbour, thereafter expanding considerably at the start of the 20th century due to a boom in coal mining.
From 1920 the development of (mainly) council housing caused the town to expand inland to meet up with the formerly separate village of Methilhill and reach the boundaries of Methilmill Cemetery and the site of the ancient parish church.
Historically, the main industry in the area was coal mining, with most of the coal exported through Methil Docks, which exported over 3,000,000 tons per year between the WW1 and WW2.
Nearby is the new Bayview Stadium, home to East Fife Football Club, previously located more centrally in the town at the corner of Wellesley and Kirkland Roads.
The town was traversed by several railways linking the local collieries to the docks, one of which crossed the High Street on an overbridge.
After the post-war nationalisation of the railways, the coal mines and the docks continued to be linked by the Wemyss Private Railway as well as by British Railways (which had replaced the LNER and the North British Railway).
Now there is strong local pressure to reopen the railway line from Thornton Junction, which would arguably help both trade and improve public transport, including tourism for the whole area.
It was amalgamated with Buckhaven High School in August 2016 to form Levenmouth Academy, both of the older schools being demolished immediately thereafter.
Primary schools in the area include Denbeath Primary, Aberhill Primary ('listed' as of architectural/historical interest and long outliving the 1950s and 1960s secondary school buildings) and Methilhill Primary.
Local politics is controlled by Fife Council although there is interest being shown by some people in redeveloping more locally centred councils.
The Maldives are formed by a number of natural atolls plus atolls in the form of a few islands and isolated reefs today which form a pattern stretching from 7 degrees 10′ North to 0 degrees 45′ South.
Some atolls are in the form of a number of islands by time and in the form of isolated reefs, which could be classified as smaller atoll formations.
The atolls of the Maldives form a quite regular chain and, especially in the northern and central atolls, an arrayed structure is apparent.
In 1834–1836 British captain Robert Moresby undertook the laborious and difficult cartography of the Maldive Islands, drawing the first accurate maritime charts of this complicated Indian Ocean atoll group.
Although they contain a few errors, Moresby's charts were so good that they were favoured by Maldivian pilots navigating through the treacherous waters of their atolls until the 1990s.
At the time that they were drawn, the maps of the Maldives were deemed of such a high quality that they were inspected personally by Queen Victoria.
Owing to the many beautiful diving grounds of the numerous atolls of the Maldives, this country has been marketed as a prime destination for scuba divers worldwide.
Hence, during the last couple of decades many guides and maps of the best diving spots have been published and some of them are very accurate and give a wide array of useful hints.
The list below are the names of the geographical or natural atolls and single islands of the Maldives archipelago, going from north to south, together with a brief description.
There are several coral patches in the lagoon and the general depth in the centre is 20 to 30 fathoms (35 to 55 m).
Ihavandhippolhu is bounded in the north by the broad channel known as Māmalē Kandu (or Maliku Kandu) which separates the islands of Maldives from those belonging to India.
Administratively, Ihavandhippolhu belongs to the North Thiladhunmathi (Haa Alifu) Atoll administrative division which also includes the northernmost portion of the Thiladhunmathi natural atoll.
Boduthiladhunmathi Atoll (Tiladummati in the Admiralty Charts) is the largest of the Maldives atolls and the world's largest atoll (not taking into account the mostly submerged Great Chagos Bank and Saya de Malha Bank).
The general depth of the centre of this part is 20 to 25 fathoms (37 m to 46 m) and the bottom is sandy.
Administratively, Thiladhunmathi Atoll together with the Miladhunmadulu group are divided among four administrative divisions, namely North Thiladhunmathi (Haa Alifu) Atoll, South Thiladhunmathi (Haa Dhaalu) Atoll, North Miladhunmadulu (Shaviyani) Atoll and South Miladhunmadulu (Noonu) Atoll.
It has only one inhabited island, Makunudhoo and three other islands (namely Innafushi, Fenboahuraa and Edipparufushi) and it lies west of the NW part of the Miladhummadulhu group.
Owing to the violence of the surf and the perpendicular sides of the reef scarcely a vestige of the wreck remains after a few hours.
Etthingili Alifushi Atoll consists of two islands, Alifushi and Etthingili (also known as Kalhifushi), known as 'The Powell Islands' in the Admiralty Chart.
The islands stand on a detached reef of their own with very deep waters (no sounding) between this reef and the northern end of the main Atoll.
Its western fringe is composed of a series of round or oval reefs (farus) irregularly placed (a feature peculiar to all the larger Northern Atolls).
It has 11 islands with the only inhabited island being Kudarikilu Island on its SE corner just opposite Landaa Giraavaru Island of Southern Maalhosmadulhu Atoll.
The inner lagoon has a depth of 17 to 20 fathoms (31 to 37 m); it has a sandy bottom mixed with mud and clay.
Faadhippolhu Atoll is a smaller atoll with a well-defined barrier reef to the east, on which the NE monsoon (iruvai) breaks with violence.
Its bottom is sandy and there are a number of coral patches and sunken reefs dotting it, except for the south-eastern side.
Kaashidhu Atoll, lies towards the eastern end of the channel to which it gives its name ('Kardiva Channel' in the Admiralty Chart).
Gahaafaru Atoll also known as Gaafaru Atoll or Gaafarufalhu is a small atoll at the eastern end of a large elliptical reef that has proved disastrous to many vessels with the wrecks of Aracan (1873), SS Seagull (1879), Clan Alpine (1879), Erlangen (1894), Crusader (1905) and Lady Cristine (1974).
long and wide Gaafaru reef is as much a separate atoll as Goidu or Rasdhu which are similar in structure and size.
Rasdhu Atoll also known as Rasdhukuramathi Atoll ('Ross Atoll' in the Admiralty Chart) is a small atoll with an almost round lagoon.
Except for a small barrier reef in its southern end, it is shaped by a succession of large, separate oval reefs, like the large atolls in the North, with a clear rim of large faru to the east.
In places its lagoon contains small reef-patches, but it is generally dotted with many large coral reefs, some of which remain submerged even at low tide.
Felidhe Atoll has a very irregular outline; it is surrounded by continuous barrier reefs, or by small patches with vilu separated by narrow passages.
The depth of its inner lagoon is between 12 and 20 fathoms (22 to 37 m) and its bottom is sandy.
Mulaku Atoll is a very shut-in atoll with an open lagoon surrounded by barrier reefs which are remarkably straight and broad in its western fringe.
It is separated from the other Maldive atolls by the channels Vattaru Kandu in the north, Kudahuvadhoo Kandu in the south and the Hatharu-Atholhu Medu Kandu in the west.
There are many coral patches and the depth of the water varies from 28 to 40 fathoms (51 to 73 m); sandy bottom.
The eastern and western rows of atolls that form Central Maldives end in Kolhumadulu Atoll south of the channel Kudahuvadhoo Kandu.
Owing to its typical atoll shape, it differs in no respect from atolls in the Pacific Ocean, save for its greater size.
The lagoon is comparatively open, although it is studded with numerous small coral patches or shoals which are awash at low tide.
The lagoon is comparatively open, containing scattered shoal patches and no emerged islands; the bottom is muddy and the average depth is from 30 to 34 fathoms (55 to 62 m).
Huvadhoo Atoll ( 'Huvadu Atoll' in the Admiralty Chart) measures from north to south, embracing an area of about 2,900 square km.
The exterior islands, formed in general of coral boulders on their seaward side (futtaru) and sand on the reef’s inner face (etherevaru), are string along the east, south and SW sides of the atoll.
There are over 230 islands with 30 sandy islands in the centre of its lagoon, more than any other atoll of the Maldives.
The stretch between the channels of Kaadedhoo Kandu and Fiyoaree Kandu alone has 77 islands, only 5 being inhabited and many unnamed.
The lagoon bottom is covered with sand and has a maximum depth of 50 fathoms (91 m), being on average deeper than any other lagoon of the Maldive Atolls.
It is a relatively isolated atoll with the Huvadhoo Kandu (Suvadiva Channel) to the north and the Addoo Kandu (South Equatorial Channel) to the south.This is the worlds 3rd lagest atoll.Geographicallyfrom the number of islands and from the area this atoll is known as the world biggest atoll.
Fuvahmulah ('Fua Mulaku' in the Admiralty Chart) is a large single island (by itself a small detached atoll) which lies in the Equatorial Channel.
In the distant past Fuvahmulah was a small coral atoll whose southern end was open at a spot called Diyarehifaando and the inside of the island was a saltwater lagoon forming a natural harbour.
There is a spot in the southern end known as a Kudhuheraivali (the forest of the small islet), which indicates that there was a separate little island in that area in ancient times.
In time the inner lagoon lost its saltiness and all that remains today are two small lakes, wetlands and marshy taro fields.
Addu Atoll is long and it is fringed by broad barrier reefs with large islands on its eastern and western sides.
Its lagoon has no islands and is relatively open with few shoals in its centre, but having mazes of coral patches close to the NW and NE corners of its encircling reefs in 7 to 10 fathoms (13 to 18 m) of water.
The distance from Addu Atoll to the closest island in the Chagos Archipelago (Île Yeye, Peros Banhos Atoll) is about , with nothing but deep ocean in between them.
Note: Further south Haddhummati in the middle of the vast emptiness of the Huvadu Channel there is a small bank known as Medutila (also called Derahaa).
This bank is very difficult to spot for at its shallowest point there is a depth of 6 fathoms (11 m).
The names of the natural atolls of the Maldives are the names given to them by the first settlers of the country or the names derived from these.
The atolls are usually named after islands that belong to the atoll and perhaps those that were the first sites of settlements in each atoll, or the main island of each atoll.
The few atoll names on the Admitralty charts that differ from their local Dhivehi names (namely Malcolm Atoll, Horsburg Atoll and Ross Atoll) were named by Robert Moresby in honor of famous commanders and officers of the British Empire, after the Moresby Cartographic Survey (1834–1836) of the Maldive Islands.
One is the channel into the atoll's lagoon and the other is the passage on top of the reef into the vilu.
Human action, in the form of jetties or the dredging of channels on the reef, may change the pattern of currents on the reef and accelerate erosion.
The atolls in Maldives are often separated from each other by vast expanses of the deepest ocean; but despite the great distances, the daily life of Maldivians in the individual inhabited islands shows very few differences all along the length of the atoll chain.
90,000), the environment in most islands is dominated by practically the same small number of ingredients: trees of a few types, low houses with small yards, the waterside always close at hand and almost no dramatic variations in the landscape.
The Maldive atolls are part of the long submerged mountain range that extends from the Laccadives, or Lakshadweep, in the north, to the Chagos in the south.
Northern Maldivians used to visit often Maliku, Minicoy Island, before the 1960s when it was allowed for them to do so.
But even in these remote and strongly oceanic Southern Maldive atolls, knowledge about their neighboring island group is only vague and fragmentary.
Unlike in the Maldives there is not a clearly discernible pattern of arrayed atolls, which makes the whole archipelago look somewhat chaotic.
It is not clear where exactly Ihavandhippolhu Atoll, Maamakunudhoo Atoll, Goifulhafehendhu Atoll, Fasdūtherē Atoll, Vattaru Faru/Atholhu, Gahaafaru Atoll, Rasdhukuramathi Atoll as well as the islands of Alifushi-Ethingili, Kaashidhoo and Thoddoo were grouped in this early classification.
Since these Administrative Divisions of the Maldives are called 'atolls', but are not always consisting of an atoll proper, they should not be confused with a natural atoll.
Many people have come to think that the code-letter of the administrative atoll is its new name and that it has replaced its geographical name.
Aware of the extent of this problem, Maldivian expert Mr. Ibrahim Luthfee wrote a book on Maldivian geography before he died.
With this book, which is unfortunately available only in Divehi, the late Mr. Luthfee tried to clear a number of misconceptions that carelessly researched tourist publications have generalized even among Maldivians.
In 2009 the 20 administrative divisions (that is, excluding Male') were grouped under seven provinces, with each province comprising two or more natural atolls (with the exception of the Medhu-Dhekunu Province made up of solely Huvadhu Atoll).
The city was founded in 1970 out of the formerly independent villages of Willich, Anrath, Schiefbahn and Neersen, although the villages are much older.
The villages belonged to the Electorate of Cologne until the French Revolutionary Wars when they were occupied and annexed by France in 1794.
The village was already impoverished by the decline of previously dominant domestic weaving and now the municipal administration of Anrath even considered a dissolution of the village.
In 1908 Stahlwerk Becker (a steel mill) was built and up to its closing in 1932 was one of the largest employers in Willich.
The factory was finally closed in 1945 and the grounds were converted to a military base for the British Armed Forces.
During Operation Grenade on March 1, 1945 American forces which had entered Schiefbahn met a counterattack from a German Panzer unit.
During the Third Reich, the Nazis deported 40 Jews - of which 38 were ultimately murdered in the Nazi death camps.
The British Army had soldiers stationed in Willich for more than 40 years: 40 Army Engineer Support Regiment (40 AESR), which by the early 80s was reduced down to 40 Army Engineer Support Group (40 AESG).
Sydney Trains is a train operator of a commuter-based rail network centred on the metropolitan area of Sydney which comprises seven metropolitan lines.
The entire length of railway in New South Wales is maintained by Transport for New South Wales which is a statutory authority of the Government of New South Wales.
The Sydney Trains network extends up to Berowra, to the north, Richmond to the north-west, Emu Plains to the west, Waterfall to the south, and Macarthur to the south west.
Most of the Sydney Trains network runs on the surface of suburban areas while some recently constructed and inner city sections will run underground.
It was originally used for only women's palms and sometimes for men, but as time progressed, it was more common for men to wear it.
Staining oneself with turmeric paste, as well as mehndi, are Vedic customs, intended to be a symbolic representation of the outer and the inner sun.
Traditional Indian designs are representations of the sun on the palm, which, in this context, is intended to represent the hands and feet.
Women usually apply mehndi designs to their hands and feet, though some, including cancer patients and women with alopecia occasionally decorate their scalps.
The standard color of henna is brown, but other design colors such as white, red, black and gold are sometimes employed.
In Hindu festivals, many women have Henna applied to their hands and feet and sometimes on the back of their shoulders too, as men have it applied on their arms, legs, back, and chest.
For women, it is usually drawn on the palm, back of the hand and on feet, where the design will be clearest due to contrast with the lighter skin on these surfaces, which naturally contain less of the pigment melanin.
Alta, Alata, or Mahur is a red dye used similarly to henna to paint the feet of the brides in some regions of India, for instance in Bengal.
PPD may cause severe allergic reactions and was voted Allergen of the Year in 2006 by the American Contact Dermatitis Society.
In the Middle East and Africa, it is common for women to apply henna to their fingernails and toenails and to their hands.
After about 15–20 minutes, the mud will dry and begin to crack, and during this time, a mixture of lemon juice and white sugar can be applied over the henna design to remoisten the henna mud so that the henna will stain darker.
The painted area is then wrapped with tissue, plastic, or medical tape to lock in body heat, creating a more intense colour on the skin.
When first removed, the henna design is pale to dark orange in colour and gradually darkens through oxidation, over the course of 24 to 72 hours.
The final color is reddish brown and can last anywhere from one to three weeks depending on the quality and type of henna paste applied, as well as where it was applied on the body (thicker skin stains darker and longer than thin skin).
Traditional Hindu or Sikh weddings in India can often be long, ritualistic, and elaborate affairs with many pre-wedding, wedding and post wedding ceremonies of Muslims.
Different countries and regions of a country celebrate the ceremonies in different ways according to their own marriage customs, rituals, and culture.
Henna parties were often held in the house that the bride was going to live in, and the guests included girls and women from the bride and groom's side of the family.
According to Hindu tradition, the ceremony is mainly held at the bride's house or at a banquet hall on the eve of the marriage ceremony or few days before the marriage.
Generally, the bride and groom attend the event together and on the occasion, a professional mehndi artist or a relative applies mehndi to the bride's hands and feet.
The event generally has a celebratory festival feel to it with the women dancing and singing traditional songs and the girls wearing vivid colors such as hot pink and yellow, often if the bride to be wishes to tease her future groom she will make him wear purple.
In Pakistan, the Mehndi ceremony is referred to Rasm-e-Heena and is often one of the most important pre-wedding ceremonies, which is celebrated by the bride's family.
In Bangladesh, the Mehndi ceremony has traditionally been separated into two events; one organized by the bride's family and one, by the groom's family.
Mehndi ceremonies take place outside the Indian subcontinent amongst the South Asian community and places like Birmingham in the UK are such known hotspots for lavish Mehndi celebrations.
The henna, a dye produced from a henna plant, would be delivered by the groom's relatives on a silver tray containing two burning candles.
Then, the bride's soon to be mother-in-law would then bring out a piece of silk cloth as a gift to the bride.
The bride would then walk along the unrolled piece of silk cloth in the direction of her future mother-in-law and kiss her hand.
Once this is done, fruits, nuts, and pastries would be brought out and songs would be sung in hopes of making the bride cry.
The bride would then sit on a cushion while her mother-in-law placed a gold coin in her hand as another sign of good luck.
The person who applied the henna was always someone who was already known to be happily married; that person would apply the henna onto the bride's palms, fingers, and toes.
For this reason, it was suggested that it be applied between thirty-two and forty-eight hours before the wedding so that it may have enough time to stain the skin.
The judges, Eusebius notes, must have been motivated either out of compassion or the hope that he might change his mind and renounce Christianity.
According to Eusebius, he not only refused the offer, but he is said to have cheerfully rushed headlong into the bear.
It is located in the northern-central part of the province, in a region of foothills and high plains, on the eastern side of the Andes.
As of the , Mendoza had a population of 115,041 with a metropolitan population of 1,055,679, making Greater Mendoza the fourth largest census metropolitan area in the country.
The city is a frequent stopover for climbers on their way to Aconcagua (the highest mountain in the Western and Southern Hemispheres) and for adventure travelers interested in mountaineering, hiking, horse riding, rafting, and other sports.
As such, Mendoza is one of the nine Great Wine Capitals, and the city is an emerging enotourism destination and base for exploring the region's hundreds of wineries located along the Argentina Wine Route.
The system is still evident today in the wide trenches (acequias), which run along all city streets, watering the approximately 100,000 trees that line every street in Mendoza.
It is estimated that fewer than 80 Spanish settlers lived in the area before 1600, but later prosperity increased due to the use of indigenous and slave labor, and the Jesuit presence in the region.
The extra revenues generated from this, and the ensuing additional trade with Buenos Aires, no doubt led to the creation of the state of Cuyo in 1813 with José de San Martín as governor.
It was from Mendoza that San Martín and other Argentinian and Chilean patriots organized the army with which they won the independence of Chile and Peru.
Tourism, wine production, and more recently the exploitation of hard commodities such as oil and uranium ensure Mendoza's status as a key regional center.
Important suburbs such as Godoy Cruz, Guaymallén, Las Heras, Luján de Cuyo and Maipú have in recent decades far outpaced the city proper in population.
Comprising half the metro population of 212,000 in 1947, these suburbs grew to nearly ⅞ of the total metro area of over 1,000,000 by 2015, making Mendoza the most dispersed metro area in Argentina.
Mendoza has several museums, including the Museo Cornelio Moyano, a natural history museum, and the Museo del Área Fundacional (Historical Regional Foundation Museum) on Pedro del Castillo Square.
The Museo Nacional del Vino (National Wine Museum), focusing on the history of winemaking in the area, is southeast of Mendoza in Maipú.
The Casa de Fader, a historic house museum, is an 1890 mansion once home to artist Fernando Fader in nearby Mayor Drummond, south of Mendoza.
Part of the festivities include a beauty pageant, where 17 beauty queens from each department of Mendoza Province compete, and one winner is selected by a panel of about 50 judges.
Mendoza has a number of universities, including the major Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, as well as University of Mendoza, a branch of Universidad Congreso, Aconcagua University, UTN (Universidad Tecnologica Nacional) and Champagnat University.
Mendoza is a popular place to learn Spanish, and there are a number of Spanish language schools, including Intercultural, Green Fields and SIMA.
The city is centered around Plaza Independencia (Independence Plaza) with Avenida Sarmiento running through its center east-west, with the east side pedestrianized (peatonal).
Other major streets, running perpendicular to Sarmiento, include Bartolomé Mitre, San Martín, and 9 de Julio (July 9th), those running parallel include Colón, and Las Heras.
Unique to Mendoza are the exposed stone ditches, essentially small canals, which run alongside many of the roads supplying water to the thousands of trees.
Its grounds include the Mendoza Zoological Park and a football stadium, and it is also the home of the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo.
Francisco Gabrielli International Airport serves Mendoza, with flights to/from Buenos Aires taking less than 2 hours and less than 1 hour to/from Santiago.
The trolleybuses are more comfortable than the diesel buses, but are slower, not as numerous nor is the system as extensive.
A heritage railway, El Tren del Vino (The Wine Train) is being planned which will also provide local transportation; it will run through wine-producing districts of Mendoza.
A new light rail line, the Metrotranvía Mendoza, opened for regular service in October 2012. and serves five areas of the Greater Mendoza conurbation.
The line runs from (at the site of the former intercity passenger train station, near the city centre) south to Maipú.
The bright red railcars, Siemens-Düwag U2 models, were purchased from the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) of San Diego, California, USA in 2010.
Mendoza's development was helped partly due to its position at the start of the Transandine Railway linking it to Santa Rosa de Los Andes in Chile.
The Transandine Railway is a line, with sections of Abt rack, whilst the railways it links with are both broad gauge.
A journey from Buenos Aires to Chile involved two breaks-of-gauge, and therefore two changes of train, one at Mendoza, and the other at Santa Rosa de Los Andes.
Vintner Nicolas Catena Zapata is considered the pioneer of high-altitude growing and was the first, in 1994, to plant a malbec vineyard at 5,000 feet above sea level in the Mendoza region.
Several dozens of sets were built, ranging from a long recreation of the Tibetan capital city of Lhasa (built in the foothills of the Andes), to a recreation of the Hall of Good Deeds in the Potala, the ancient palace of the Dalai Lama (built in an abandoned garlic warehouse outside the city).
The city boasts at least two significant football clubs—Independiente Rivadavia and Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza, although neither currently plays in the Primera División.
Examples of approximated five-point perspective can also be found in the self-portrait of the mannerist painter Parmigianino seen through a shaving mirror.
The system uses curving perspective lines instead of straight converging ones to approximate the image on the retina of the eye, which is itself spherical, more accurately than the traditional linear perspective, which uses straight lines and gets very strangely distorted at the edges.
This technique can, like two-point perspective, use a vertical line as a horizon line, creating both a worms and birds eye view at the same time.
It uses four or more points equally spaced along a horizon line, all vertical lines are made perpendicular to the horizon line, while orthogonals are created using a compass set on a line made at a 90-degree angle through each of the four vanishing points.
Distances a and c between the viewer and the wall are greater than the b distance, so adopting the principle that when an object is a greater distance from the observer, it becomes smaller, the wall is reduced and thus appears distorted at the edges.
A line that does not pass through the origin is projected to a great circle on the sphere, which is further projected to an ellipse on the plane.
Joel Albert McCrea (November 5, 1905 – October 20, 1990) was an American actor whose career spanned almost five decades, appearing in over one hundred films.
McCrea graduated from Hollywood High School and then Pomona College (class of 1928), where he had acted on stage and took courses in drama and public speaking, while appearing regularly at the Pasadena Playhouse.
As a high school student, he worked as a stunt double and held horses for cowboy stars William S. Hart and Tom Mix.
He moved to RKO in 1930, where he established himself as a handsome leading man who was considered versatile enough to star in both dramas and comedies.
In a 1978 interview, he said: I liked doing comedies, but as I got older I was better suited to do Westerns.
Because I think it becomes unattractive for an older fellow trying to look young, falling in love with attractive girls in those kinds of situations...
In 1968, McCrea received a career achievement award from the L.A. Film Critics Association, and the following year he was inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
For his contribution to the motion picture industry, Joel McCrea has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6901 Hollywood Blvd.
Joel McCrea's work ethic was in part attributed to his Scottish heritage and it also may have stemmed from his friendship in the 1930s with fellow personality and sometime actor Will Rogers.
This was the beginning of what became a spread on which McCrea and his wife Frances lived, raised their sons, and rode their horses.
By the end of the 1940s, McCrea was a multi-millionaire, as much from his real-estate dealings as from his movie stardom.
In the early 1960s, he sold of land to an oil company, on the condition that they would not drill within sight of his home.
After his death his family ultimately donated thirty five acres of their personal property to the newly formed Conejo Valley YMCA for the city of Thousand Oaks, California preserving the ranch.
They also donated 75 acres to the Conejo Open Space Conservancy Agency (COSCA), which is designated as the Joel McCrea Wildlife Preserve; and five acres to the Boys and Girls Club of Camarillo, CA.
Joel McCrea made his final public appearance on October 3, 1990, at a fundraiser for Republican gubernatorial candidate Pete Wilson in Beverly Hills.
He died less than three weeks later, on October 20, at the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills, California from pneumonia, at the age of 84.
Werner Karl Otto Theodor von Haeften (9 October 1908 – 21 July 1944) was an Oberleutnant in the Wehrmacht who took part in the military-based conspiracy against Adolf Hitler known as the 20 July plot.
He studied law in his home town and then worked for a bank in Hamburg until the outbreak of the Second World War when he joined the German Army.
In 1943, having recovered from a severe wound he had suffered on the Eastern Front, Haeften became adjutant to Oberst Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, one of the leading figures in the German Resistance.
All four plotters were shot after midnight by a ten-man firing squad from the Grossdeutschland Guards Battalion in the courtyard of the War Ministry, the Bendlerblock.
When Stauffenberg was about to be shot, in a last gesture of loyalty and defiance, Haeften placed himself in the path of the bullets meant for Stauffenberg.
Haeften's brother Hans Bernd von Haeften, who had also been involved in the anti-Hitler plot, was executed on 15 August at Plötzensee Prison.
Since 2013, the coupé and convertible models have been marketed as the 4 Series, therefore the 3 Series range no longer includes these body styles.
At launch, all models used carburetted 4-cylinder engines, however fuel injected models were introduced in late 1975 and 6-cylinder engines were added in 1977.
It was also the first 3 Series to offer a diesel engine, and all-wheel drive was introduced to the 3 Series range with the 325iX model.
It was also the first 3 Series to be available with a 6-speed manual transmission (in the 1996 M3), a 5-speed automatic transmission and a four-cylinder diesel engine.
The E46 generation introduced various electronic features to the 3 Series, including satellite navigation, electronic brake-force distribution, rain-sensing wipers and LED tail-lights.
The M3 version of the E46 was powered by the S54 straight-six engine and was available in coupé and convertible body styles (other than that, it was powered with the M54 in non-M3 cars).
For the F30/F31/F34 series, the coupe and convertible models were split from the 3 Series and sold as the BMW 4 Series.
The M3 version (designated F80, the first time an M3 has used a separate model designation) was released in 2014 and is powered by the S55 twin-turbo straight-6 engine.
M3 models have been derived from the E30, E36, E46, E90/E92/E93, and F30 (designated F80) 3 series, and sold with coupe, sedan and convertible body styles.
The last M3 coupe was produced in Germany on 5 July 2013, replaced by the F82/F83 M4 Coupe and convertible starting with the 2015 model year, but the M3 name remains in use for the sedan version.
The Isle of Man Football League is the senior football league on the Isle of Man and is run by the Isle of Man Football Association.
Although the league is affiliated with The Football Association, it does not form a part of the English football league system.
In 2006 they beat the Cambridgeshire County League XI and qualified for the 2007 UEFA Regions' Cup, being eliminated in the group stage in Czech Republic.
They won the Inter-League Cup again in 2013, but again were eliminated in the group stage of the Regions Cup, this time in Slovakia.
There are 26 clubs in the Isle of Man Football League which are grouped into two divisions: Premier League and Division Two.
Each division has 13 clubs and in any given season a club plays each of the others in the same division twice (a double round-robin system), once at their home and once at that of their opponents.
At the end of each season the two lowest placed clubs in the Premier League are relegated to Division two, and the top two placed clubs from Division Two are promoted to the Premier League.
It can be done by partial melting of a solid, for example in zone refining of silicon or metals, or by partial crystallization of a liquid, as in freeze distillation, also called normal freezing or progressive freezing.
Partial crystallization can also be achieved by adding a dilute solvent to the mixture, and cooling and concentrating the mixture by evaporating the solvent, a process called solution crystallization.
Freeze distillation is a misnomer, because it is not distillation but rather a process of enriching a solution by partially freezing it and removing frozen material that is poorer in the dissolved material than is the liquid portion left behind.
Such enrichment parallels enrichment by true distillation, where the evaporated and re-condensed portion is richer than the liquid portion left behind.
If, however, a eutectic system forms (analogous to an azeotrope in distillation), a very pure solid can be recovered, as long as the liquid is not at its eutectic composition (in which case a mixed solid forms, which can be hard to separate) or above its eutectic composition (in which case the undesired solid forms).
Fractional freezing is also used in the production of fruit juice concentrates and other heat-sensitive liquids, as it does not involve heating the liquid (as happens during evaporation).
In a process that naturally occurs with sea ice, frozen salt water, when partially melted, leaves behind ice that is of a much lower salt content.
Because sodium chloride lowers the melting point of water, the salt in sea water tends to be forced out of pure water while freezing, called brine rejection.
Large lakes of higher salinity water, called polynas, form in the middle of floes, and the water eventually sinks to the bottom.
Fractional freezing can be used as a simple method to increase the alcohol concentration in fermented alcoholic beverages, a process sometimes called freeze distillation.
In practice, while not able to produce an alcohol concentration comparable to distillation, this technique can achieve some concentration with far less effort than any practical distillation apparatus would require.
The danger of freeze distillation of alcoholic beverages, is that unlike heat distillation, where the methanol and other impurities can be separated from the finished product, freeze distillation does not remove them.
Thus the ratio of impurities may be increased compared to the total volume of the beverage, though not necessarily compared to the amount of ethanol.
Fractional freezing is commonly used as a simple method to reduce the gel point of biodiesel and other alternative diesel fuels, whereby esters of higher gel point are removed from esters of lower gel point through cold filtering, or other methods to reduce the subsequent alternative fuel gel point of the fuel blend.
This process employs fuel stratification whereby components in the fuel blend develop a higher specific gravity as they approach their respective gel points and thus sink to the bottom of the container, where they can be removed.
They are known as homofermenters meaning that they produce a single product, lactic acid in this case, as the major or only product of glucose fermentation.
Their main purpose in dairy production is the rapid acidification of milk; this causes a drop in the pH of the fermented product, which prevents the growth of spoilage bacteria.
ANIM is a file format, used to store digital movies and computer generated animations (hence the ANIM name), and is a variation of the ILBM format, which is a subformat of Interchange File Format.
The ANIM IFF format was developed in 1988 at Sparta Inc., a firm based in California, originally for the production of animated video sequences on the Amiga computer, and was used for the first time in Aegis Development's Videoscape and Video Titler programs for the Amiga line of computers.
As being very efficient and also being an official subset of existing Amiga ILBM/IFF standard file format, it became the de facto standard for any animation file on Amiga.
Most of these are strictly of historical interest as the only one currently used is the vertical run length encoded byte encoding developed by Atari software programmer Jim Kent.
The initial frame is a normal run-length-encoded, IFF picture, and this allows to have an initial preview of the contents of the file.
While the actual frame is shown on, the subsequent frame is loaded into a swap buffer page of graphic memory and Amiga switch between the screens istantanely while loading the subsequent frames thanks to its bit-blitter circuit capabilities and the DMA feature of its graphic chipset that could access memory without asking request of the CPU.
To better understand this, suppose one has two screens, called A and B, and the ability to instantly switch the display from one to the other.
Note that frame 2 is stored as differences from frame 1, but all other frames are stored as differences from two frames back.
The BODY will normally be a standard run-length-encoded data chunk (but also any other legal compression mode as indicated by the BMHD).
The subsequent FORMs ILBM contain an ANHD, instead of a BMHD, which duplicates some of BMHD and has additional parameters pertaining to the animation frame.
In addition, other chunks may be placed in each of these as deemed necessary (and as code is placed in player programs to utilize them).
However, this inconsistency was not noted until there were a number of commercial products either released or close to release which generated/played this format.
Anim format allow five methods of compression: XOR mode, Long Delta mode, Short Delta mode, General Delta mode and Byte Vertical Compression.
The frame data from the ANIM file is used to modify the hidden frame to the next frame to be shown.
Note that runs of zero bytes, which will be very common, can be ignored, as an exclusive or of any byte value to a byte of zero will not alter the original byte value.
The general procedure, for all compression techniques, is to first decode the initial ILBM picture into the hidden buffer and double buffer it into view.
The next frame is formed in the hidden buffer by applying the DLTA data (or the XOR data from the BODY chunk) and the new frame is double-buffered into view.
The Liverpool Echo is a newspaper published by Trinity Mirror North West & North Wales – a subsidiary company of Reach plc and is based in St Paul's Square, Liverpool, Merseyside, England.
Historically the newspaper was published by the Liverpool Daily Post & Echo Ltd. Its office is in St Paul's Square Liverpool, having downsized from Old Hall Street in March 2018.
As Regius Professor of Natural History at the University of Edinburgh for fifty years, Jameson is notable for his advanced scholarship, his superb museum collection and for his tuition of Charles Darwin.
Darwin attended Robert Jameson's natural history course at the University of Edinburgh in his teenage years, learning about stratigraphic geology and assisting with the collections of the Museum of Edinburgh University, then one of the largest in Europe.
At Jameson's Wernerian Natural History Association, the young Charles Darwin saw John James Audubon give a demonstration of his method of using wires to prop up birds to draw or paint them in natural positions.
Jameson was born in Leith on 11 July 1774, the son of Catherine Paton (1750–94) and Thomas Jameson (c.1750–1802), a soap manufacturer on Rotten Row (now Water Street).
His early education was spent at Leith Grammar School, after which he became the apprentice of the Leith surgeon John Cheyne (father of John Cheyne), with the aim of going to sea.
By 1793, influenced by the Regius Professor of Natural History, John Walker (1731–1803), Jameson abandoned medicine and the idea of being a ship's surgeon, and focused instead on science, particularly geology and mineralogy.
It is worth noting that Walker was a presbyterian Minister who had actually combined the Regius Professorship with a period of service as Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1790.
During this time his geological field-work frequently took him to the Isle of Arran, the Hebrides, Orkney, the Shetland Islands and the Irish mainland.
In 1800, he spent a year at the mining academy in Freiberg, Saxony, where he studied under the noted geologist Abraham Gottlob Werner (1749 or 1750–1817).
As an undergraduate, Jameson had several noteworthy classmates at the University of Edinburgh including Robert Brown, Joseph Black, and Thomas Dick.
In 1804, Jameson succeeded Dr Walker as the third Regius Professor of Natural History at the University of Edinburgh, a post which he held for fifty years.
During this period he became the first eminent exponent in Britain of the Wernerian geological system, or Neptunism, and the acknowledged leader of the Scottish Wernerians, founding and presiding over the Wernerian Natural History Society in 1808 until around 1850, when his health began to decline, together with the fortunes of the Society.
Jameson's support for Neptunism, a theory that argued that all rocks had been deposited from a primaeval ocean, initially pitted him against James Hutton (1726–1797), a fellow Scot and eminent geologist also based in Edinburgh (but not in the university), who argued for uniformitarianism, a theory that saw the features of the Earth's crust being caused by natural processes over geologic time.
Modern scholarship also suggests that, by 1826, Jameson was convinced of Lamarckian concepts of evolution, and that he could express this conviction only in anonymous terms.
Over Jameson's fifty-year tenure, he built up a huge collection of mineralogical and geological specimens for the Museum of Edinburgh University, including fossils, birds and insects.
By 1852 there were over 74,000 zoological and geological specimens at the museum, and in Britain the natural history collection was second only to that of the British Museum.
Shortly after his death, the University Museum was transferred to the British Crown and became part of the Royal Scottish Museum, now the Royal Museum, in Edinburgh's Chambers Street.
A portrait of Robert Jameson is housed by the National Portrait Gallery in London, and a bust of him is in the Old College of the University of Edinburgh.
He was the uncle of Robert William Jameson, Writer to the Signet and playwright of Edinburgh, and therefore also the great-uncle of Sir Leander Starr Jameson, Bt, KCMG, British colonial statesman.
At the time of publication, Reilly hinted at the possibility of a sequel starring the same protagonist, Professor William Race, but the release of such a book has never been officially confirmed.
Deep in the jungles of Peru, the hunt for a legendary Incan idol is underway - an idol that in the present day could be used as the basis for a highly destructive and terrifying weapon.
Guiding the US Army team is Professor William Race, a young linguist who must translate an ancient manuscript which contains the location of the idol.
The main focus of the former story is the journey of a monk named Alberto Santiago who becomes a traitor to his country after witnessing Spanish atrocities among the Incan civilisation.
Aiding an Incan Prince named Renco Capac to escape, Santiago begins a quest to protect a special Idol - 'The Spirit of the People', an idol carved from black stone with purple veins running through it, actually carved from a meteorite that fell on earth, from the invading Spaniards.
Four hundred years later, a group of armed militia storms the monastery, execute the Jesuit monks living there and recover the Santiago manuscript and another party raids DARPA headquarters.
Seeing the seriousness of the mission, DARPA sends Colonel Frank Nash to Peru with the aid of NYU linguistics professor William Race to recover the idol before anyone else can retrieve it.
Along the way are neo-Nazis, a powerplay between the three branches of the US armed forces and a group of nihilistic domestic terrorists called Republican Army of Texas and terrifying rapas (large jaguar like cats).
Their mission: to retrieve 'the Spirit of the People' (as the natives call it), carved out of Thyrium-261, a nuclear material from a binary star system that came to Earth via a meteorite.
Thyrium has the potential to provide virtually limitless clean energy, which can fuel the Supernova, a next-generation weapon of mass destruction with the power to decimate a third of the Earth's surface and bring about Doomsday.
Professor William Race is a young linguist, working for NYU is approached by a retired Col. Frank Nash, a physicist from the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, to translate a manuscript written in ancient Latin, to find an ancient Incan idol in the South American jungles.
Race is told that his brother, Martin Race, was the one who suggested his name, and that his college sweetheart, Lauren O'Connor, who left him many years ago is also accompanying them.
The team lands in Peru with physicist Troy Copeland, archaeologist Gaby Lopez, anthropologist Walter Chambers, five Green Berets, Race's personal bodyguard Van Lewen and Lauren.
But when the manuscript leads the team to an ancient Incan temple, the hunt becomes a fight for survival when their raid of the temple is taken over by hostile German terrorists called BKA, trying to get the idol for themselves.
Most of the team are killed, including the hostile BKA Germans, and both sides are now forced to cooperate with each other for survival, including leader Karl Schroeder and Renee Becker from the BKA team.
The story then proceeds to the Nazis , comprising ex Nazi armymen calling themselves the Stormtroopers, hell-bent on getting the idol to fuel their Supernova and obtain ransom from the developed countries, led by Odilo Ehrhardt and Heinrich Anistaze.
Race and his comrades tactfully combat them, fighting them on land, air and water, losing more of their American and German comrades, and landing up in abandoned Gold Mines used by the Nazis.
Race, Renee Becker, Van Lewen and Doogie eliminate all the Stormtroopers including Ehrhardt and Anistaze with the help of an inside German BKA man, Uzi inside the Nazi team, and prevent detonation of the Supernova activated by thyrium from the stolen idol, at the nick of time.
He learns that the hunt for the idol is a struggle for power by different people- The U.S. Airforce, the Army, the Navy, The Nazis and the Republic army of Texas, each one wanting it for selfish reasons.
He realises that Frank Nash is not a retired DARPA physicist as he claimed to be, but is actually working for the Army and was using Race for his gain.
They reach another village in the rainforest, where the real idol is found at an altar, and the Indians there revere and worship Race, as he is found to have a birthmark below his left eye that corroborates with their idolized hero (Renco in Montago's story).
However, this village is now attached by Navy choppers ruthlessly, who also want to get the idol, again killing team mates and Indians.
At this point, Nash, Lauren and Copeland grab the real idol and begin to run away from everyone towards Vilcafor, and Race chases them with Renee and Doogie following behind.
But Nash has his own plans - his salvage army team arrives in choppers and kills the Navy fighters at Vilcafor.
At this point Race is shocked to see his brother Marty with Nash's salvage Army team, and it is revealed that Lauren actually married Marty, but was keeping an affair with Copeland to get air force secrets from Marty to give them to Copeland.
A ruthless Frank Nash executes all the Navy men on the spot, and proceeds to kill Race, saying he doesn't need the professor anymore, when Van Lewen intervenes and gets shot.
But they are in for a shock when on the spot arrives the Republican Army of Texas with much bigger aircraft, comprising disgraced armymen who want to get the idol to destroy the world for revenge, led by Earl Bittiker.
He is attacked but he manages to disarm the Supernova at the nick of time with a code hinted by Marty.
He then destroys the plane with Copeland in it, and the tanker falls off to the ground and explodes, killing Bittiker in it.
Inside he places the fake idol, sees human remnants of the attackers that the Rapas killed, and sees the treasure of Solon so long sought by the Spaniards in Alberto's story but never found.
Race returns the real idol back to the Indians, advising them to leave the village for elsewhere as more people can come in search for the idol, and he leaves with the others for USA.
It is told in the form of a story within a story, the memoirs of a Spanish priest during the discovery of South America.
Disgusted by the atrocities of his countrymen on the Incans, Spanish priest Alberto Santiago betrays them when he frees Renco Capac, an Incan prince, from a spanish prison hulk.
Much of Santiago's story details his journey with Renco and a criminal named Bassario from Cuzco to the citadel at Vilcafor as they attempt to defend a sacred Incan idol from pursuing conquistadors, led by the wicked Spanish leader Hernando.
The Spaniards wish to conquer the Incas and also grab a hidden treasure, as well as kill Alberto for his treachery.
The trio travel day in and night out and finally make it to Vilcafor with the idol, where they hope to hide it before Hernando can find them.
Santiago's manuscript appears several times in the story, with professor Race reading and translating it, providing his comrades with crucial information.
He learns of the Vicious Rapas that come out of the temple at night, and that when made wet, the idol hums a tune which puts the Rapas in a trance.
Alberto also learns of a treasure hidden in a temple built by one Solon years before, and guarded by Rapas, which the Spaniards are after.
The Incans and Alberto reach the temple with the idol keeping the Rapas in trance, and manage to lure them all into the temple, but are attacked by Hernando and the conquistadors before they can completely close the door.
Renco then lures the Rapas back into the temple and asks that the stone door be shut behind them, thereby trapping the Rapas inside with him and the idols.
As Professor William Race and the others head towards home, Race calls and appraises the investigation officers back home about all the events.
Alberto Santiago is now an old man, reminiscing his memories and penning them in a monastery in the mountains of Europe.
Renco trapped the Rapas and the fake idol and escaped from the temple with the real one (the same way Race did) and reunited with his comrades.
He is highly inspired by the story of Alberto Santiago's adventure with Renco Capac and several similarities are shown between him and Renco.
He was having an affair with Lauren, and using the information she got from her husband he aided Bittiker in detonating the Supernova.
She was having an affair with Copeland, and unintentionally gave him secrets that her husband Marty knew, which aided Copeland in setting up the Supernova with the idol.
It is revealed towards the end that he is married to Lauren, and both have joined hands with Nash in his wicked schemes.
He brought along Chambers, Lopez and Race to aid him, and Copeland and Lauren to steal the idol from its rightful owner, the Incan people.
He is shot brutally by the Nazis, and as a result Race and Van Lewen leave him at the temple, due to his inability to fly away.
Whitty, a former Chief Constable for Liverpool, had campaigned for the abolition of the Stamp Act under which newspapers were taxed.
As well as focusing on local news, the paper also reported on both national and international news allowing it to circulate in Lancashire, Wales, Isle of Man and London.
Founded by Egerton Smith in 1808 the newspaper cost 7d and was published weekly, covering news relating to the city's busy port.
The paper's second edition was claimed to be 72 columns long, making it one of the largest newspapers in the world.
Richard Rigby PC (February 1722 – 8 April 1788), was an English civil servant and politician who sat in the British House of Commons for 43 years from 1745 to 1788.
Rigby accumulated a fortune serving the Crown and politician wheeler-dealers in the dynamic 18th century parliament, and this money eventually ended up endowing the Pitt Rivers Museum.
The Rigby family took Mistley Hall in Essex as the site of their manor, but was descended from the Rigby of Burgh family.
Rigby's father and immediate ancestors made a fortune as merchant drapers in the City of London, as merchants and colonial officers in the West Indies, and as speculators in the South Sea Bubble.
Richard Rigby's father also had the same name, and was significant in the history of Jamaica, serving as its Secretary, the Provost Marshal, and a member of the Royal Assembly in the late 17th and early 18th century.
Richard and James Rigby were sons of Edward Rigby of Mistley Hall, a London draper and landowner based in Covent Garden, and Anne Hyde, a close cousin of Queen Anne (Hyde), Queen Anne, Queen Mary, and the Earl of Clarendon.
Rigby was elected Member of Parliament for Castle Rising in 1745, transferring to Sudbury at the next general election, and was initially a partisan of Frederick, Prince of Wales.
In December 1755 he became a junior minister as one of the Lords of Trade and in 1757, he retained a seat in the Irish House of Commons for Old Leighlin, which he held until 1761.
When Bedford was appointed Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland in 1758, in a time of relative peace, Rigby accompanied him as Secretary; the following year he was appointed Master of the Rolls in Ireland.
In theory this was a senior judicial office, but in practice it was then a sinecure and Rigby is said never to have sat as a judge.
In 1762 Rigby was seriously considered for promotion to Secretary at War, but he preferred to remain in lucrative sinecures rather than to accept more substantive office, and instead was made in 1765 joint Vice Treasurer of Ireland.
In 1768, Rigby was transferred to the perhaps the most lucrative of all government posts, Paymaster of the Forces, which he held for the next 16 years.
He took a prominent part in opposing John Wilkes, and later led objections to a public funeral for Pitt the Elder.
Rigby spent much of his fortune reinvesting in the family seats of Mistley and Manningtree, employing the top architects and landscape artists of the day to build a port and a spa.
Though other members of the family continued to bear the Rigby name and arms, the bulk of Richard Rigby's wealth fell to his sister who married General Hale, and ultimately to the Pitt-Rivers family, whose members endowed the museum of that name, a treasurehouse of anthropological exotica, at Oxford University.
His carilloning career started in 1881 when his father, the official carilloneer of Mechelen, went blind and became unable to play.
He used his engineering knowledge to vastly improve the technology surrounding carillons, which is now used all over Europe and the United States.
During the First World War, he, his wife Helene, son and four daughters were among those Belgian refugees who fled to England.
She holds the record for being the most-charted British female solo act of the 1980s, with seventeen UK Top 40 hit singles.
Starting in 1998, while still active in music, she has branched into an alternative career as a landscape gardener, which has included presenting gardening shows on the BBC and Channel 4.
The eldest child of 1950s rock 'n' roller Marty Wilde (birth name Reginald Smith) and Joyce Baker, who had been a member of the singing and dancing group the Vernons Girls, Kim Smith was born in the West London suburb of Chiswick and attended Oakfield Preparatory School, in the Southeast London area of Dulwich.
An instant success, it reached number two in the UK Singles Chart and scaled the Top 5 in other countries such as Germany, France and Australia.
Although it achieved only moderate success in the US, peaking at number 25 when released in 1982, it is often regarded today as Wilde's signature song.
All of Wilde's songs up to this point, including all her major hits, had been written by her father Marty and brother, Ricky.
After topping the charts in Australia and Canada and peaking at number two in the UK, it became a US number one single in 1987.
With that hit, she became the fifth UK female solo artist ever to top the US Hot 100, following Petula Clark, Lulu, Sheena Easton, and Bonnie Tyler.
The release of the album coincided with a tour of Europe, where she was the opening act for Michael Jackson's Bad World Tour.
However, there were problems with her record company – MCA Records had by that time become part of Universal Music – and legal problems concerning the songs.
Since November 2001, Wilde has toured the UK three times (and once in Australia during 2003) as part of the Here and Now Tour, an Eighties revival concert series, together with artists such as Paul Young, The Human League, Belinda Carlisle, Howard Jones and Five Star.
In 2006, Wilde signed a new record deal with EMI Germany and released the first single from her tenth studio album in many countries across Europe, Scandinavia and Asia.
She curiously walked down the grass to track the source of the light and what she noticed was that the light was swiftly moving back and forth.
Wilde holds the record for being the most-charted British female solo act of the 1980s, with seventeen UK Top 40 hit singles throughout the decade (including her duets with Junior Giscombe and Mel Smith).
A number of artists have performed covers of Kim Wilde songs, ranging from pop and rock to dance and death metal versions.
Also, when her parents go on holiday in Turkey, they buy a poster of Kim Wilde and smuggle it into Tehran for Marji.
During her first pregnancy, an old interest in gardening resurfaced and she attended Capel Manor college to learn about horticulture, so as to create a garden for her children.
Translations of the book were released at the same time in Spain, France, Denmark and the Netherlands, and later in Germany.
The Aston Martin Vanquish is a grand tourer introduced by British luxury automobile manufacturer Aston Martin in 2001 as a successor to the Aston Martin Vantage (1993).
The V12 Vanquish featured a carbon fiber and alloy construction, Aston's most powerful V12 engine, and a design that evoked the muscular heritage of other flagship Astons.
The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish was styled by Ian Callum and drew inspiration from the DB-4 Zagato - projecting a more aggressive presence than Callum's DB7 Vantage.
The naturally aspirated 60° DOHC 4 valves per cylinder V12 engine with a bore x stroke of has a power output of at 6,500 rpm and of torque at 5,000 rpm.
The interior featured full instrumentation, advanced electronics, and rich leathers with metallic details - the latter an intentional move away from the wood trim seen in the DB-7.
The first-generation V12 Vanquish was generally very well received by the motoring press receiving near universal praise for its powertrain, chassis, advanced engineering and design.
While the traditional craft techniques had evolved somewhat from those used to make the previous generation of cars, primarily in the panel shaping, there was still a great deal of handwork in assembly and finishing - and each car was very time consuming to create.
As such, the Vanquish represents both the end of an era as the last new Newport Pagnell model - and the beginning of another with its forward-looking engineering and performance.
The V12 Vanquish was recognized - along with the DB-4 Zagato - as one of the ten most beautiful cars of all time .
The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish S debuted at the 2004 Paris Motor Show, with increased engine power output and slight styling revisions.
Visual changes included new wheels, a slightly different nose shape, a new raised bootlid with a larger integrated spoiler incorporating the third high level brake light (in the rear window on the original Vanquish), a Vanquish S badge on the bootlid (the original Vanquish had no rear model designation) and the addition of a small front splitter (although this was mainly done for aerodynamic reasons).
As part of its improvements, the Vanquish S had a slightly improved (from of the Vanquish), with help from a redesigned splitter and boot lid.
The car also incorporated the features of an optional Sports Dynamic Package (available for the Vanquish for the 2004 model year), which incorporated stiffer but sportier suspension, steering, and brakes.
This model was sold for the 2005 (alongside the base Vanquish) and 2006 (as a stand-alone) model years in the United States with only minor changes; it was not sold in the United States for 2007 model year.
The Vanquish S has larger brakes than the V12 Vanquish; front discs with six-piston calipers and rear discs with four-piston calipers.
With a top speed exceeding , the V12 Vanquish S succeeded the previous V12 Vanquish as measured by top speed capability as the fastest production Aston Martin automobile ever - exceeding even the Works Service modified Vantage V-600 and LeMans models - and only with the introduction of the One-77 in 2008 would Aston Martin build a road car that could top that figure.
Aston Martin announced that the last 50 cars built would have a new 'Ultimate Black' exterior colour, upgraded interior, and personalised sill plaques.
The production of the V12 Vanquish ended on 19 July 2007, coinciding with the closing of the company's Newport Pagnell factory after 49 years of operation.
Despite the high enthusiasm for the Vanquish, the hand made nature of their construction limited production to levels commensurate with earlier Newport Pagnell cars.
It included a tweaked version of Aston Martin's familiar grille and headlight design and a more pronounced bulge in the bonnet – with One-77-inspired flourishes saved for the sides and the rear, the side vents run almost to the door handles (shared with the One-77), new rear light design shared with the One-77, and a 5.9-litre V12 engine that has a power output of .
The exterior styling of the Vanquish is an evolution of the DBS with many styling cues such as the elongated side strakes being inspired by the One-77.
The boot lid included an integrated rear spoiler designed to look as if it is impossible to make; this was done on the orders of the then Aston Martin Chief Executive, Dr. Ulrich Bez.
The Vanquish uses the new VH Generation IV platform which is lighter and uses more carbon fibre components than the VH Generation II platform used in the DBS.
The combined space of cabin and a boot that, at 368 litres, is more than 60% larger than that of the DBS.
The suspension is a lightweight aluminium front subframe with hollow castings with independent double wishbones incorporating anti-dive geometry, coil springs, anti-roll bar, and monotube adaptive dampers in the front and independent double wishbones with anti-squat and anti-lift geometry, coil springs, anti-roll bar, and monotube adaptive dampers in the rear.
The changes greatly enhanced performance, with an acceleration of 0 to being achieved in 3.6 seconds, and a top speed of .
The Volante has a full carbon fibre body, triple-skin lightweight fabric roof, 50% larger boot than its predecessor and the third generation Brembo 398 mm × 36 mm (front) and 360 mm × 32 mm (rear) Carbon Ceramic Matrix (CCM) brake discs with six-piston front and four-piston rear brake callipers.
The Centenary Edition is a limited edition of the Vanquish limited to 100 units commemorating 100 years of the Aston Martin company, unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.
The Neiman Marcus edition is a limited edition of the Vanquish limited to 10 cars named after the US department store Neiman Marcus.
Based on the US market Vanquish Volante, the bespoke features of the car are designed by the company's bespoke customisation arm; Q by Aston Martin.
The car was unveiled at the 2013 Pebble Beach Automotive Week, followed by the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show with delivery scheduled for early 2014.
Aston Martin announced a limited series production of the Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato; the latest creation from its long-standing partnership with the prestigious Italian design-house Zagato.
The Vanquish Zagato Concept was unveiled to great acclaim at the prestigious Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este at Lake Como, Italy in May 2016.
99 each were built of the coupé, convertible, and shooting brake, while a mere 28 speedsters were made, for a total of 325 cars.
As part of Aston Martin's 100th anniversary celebration, a Vanquish was airlifted onto the helipad of the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on 17 January 2013.
The Illyrian Provinces were an autonomous province of France during the First French Empire that existed under Napoleonic Rule from 1809 to 1814.
Parts of Croatia were split up into Civil Croatia and Military Croatia, the former served as a residential space for French immigrants and Croatian inhabitants and the latter as a military base to check the Ottoman Empire.
In 1809, Napoleon Bonaparte invaded the region with his Grande Armée after key wins during the War of the Fifth Coalition forced the Austrian Empire to cede parts of its territory.
Integrating the land into France was Bonaparte's way of controlling Austria's access to the Mediterranean and Adriatic Sea and expanding his empire east.
Although the respective states were allowed to speak and work in their native languages, French was designated as the official language and much of the federal administration was conducted as such.
He introduced equality before the law, compulsory military service for men, a uniform tax system, abolished certain tax privileges, introduced modern administration, separated church and state and nationalized the judiciary.
In later Greek mythology, Illyrius was the son of Cadmus and Harmonia who eventually ruled Illyria and became the eponymous ancestor of the whole Illyrian people.
The Slovene Lands, ruled by the Habsburg Monarchy, were first occupied by the French Revolutionary Army after the Battle of Tarvis in March 1797, led by General Napoleon Bonaparte.
The French troops under the command of General Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte tried to calm the worried population by issuing special public notices that were published also in the Slovene language.
During the withdrawal of the French army, the commanding general Bonaparte and his escort made a stop in Ljubljana on April 28, 1797.
The foundation of the provincial brigades in June 1808 and extensive preparations for the new war did not stop Napoleon's Grande Armée, which completely defeated the Austrian troops at the Battle of Wagram on July 6, 1809.
These territories lying north and east of the Adriatic Sea were amalgamated with the former Venetian territories of Dalmatia and Istria, annexed by Austria in the 1797 Treaty of Campo Formio, and the former Republic of Ragusa, which all had just been adjudicated to the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy in 1805 and 1808, into the Illyrian Provinces, technically part of France.
The British Navy imposed a blockade of the Adriatic Sea, effective since the Treaty of Tilsit (July 1807), which brought merchant shipping to a standstill, a measure most seriously affecting the economy of the Dalmatian port cities.
An attempt by joint French and Italian forces to seize the British-held Dalmatian island of Vis (Lissa) failed on 22 October 1810.
At Dubrovnik an insurrection expelled the French and a provisional Ragusan administration was established, hoping for the restoration of the Republic.
The Cattaro area (now called Bay of Kotor) and its environs were occupied in 1813 by Montenegrin forces, which held it until 1814, when the appearance of an Austrian force caused the Prince of Montenegro to turn over the territory to Austrian administration on 11 June.
Municipalities - with municipal council, mayor and deputy mayors in larger municipalities; or council, municipality president-syndic and deputy president-deputy syndic - were units of local government.
All officials and councillors were appointed by the emperor or the governor-general, depending on their relevance and/or size of the subdivision unit in which they served.
The ecclesiastical administration was reorganized in accordance with the new political borders; two archdioceses were established with seats at Ljubljana and Zara, with suffragan dioceses at Gorizia, Capodistria, Sebenico, Spalato and Ragusa (1811).
The population (1811) was given at 460,116 for the intendancy of Ljubljana, 381,000 for the intendancy of Karlovac, 357,857 for the intendancy of Trieste and 305,285 for the intendancy of Zara, in total 1,504,258 for all of Illyria.
A French decree emancipated the Jews; in effect the decree abolished a Habsburg regulation which had forbidden Jews to settle within Carniola.
Despite the fact that not all French laws applied to the territory of the Illyrian Provinces, Illyrian offices were accountable to ministries in Paris and to the Higher Court of Paris.
Initially the official languages were French, Italian and German, but in 1811 Slovenian was added for the first time in history.
Among the main changes the French empire brought were the overhaul of administration, the changing of the schooling system – creating universities and making Slovene a learning language – and the usage of the Napoleonic code (the French Code Civil) and the Penal Code.
Although the French did not entirely abolish the feudal system, their rule familiarized in more detail the inhabitants of the Illyrian Provinces with the achievements of the French revolution and with contemporary bourgeois society.
They introduced equality before the law, compulsory military service and a uniform tax system, and also abolished certain tax privileges, introduced modern administration, separated powers between the state and the church (the introduction of the civil wedding, keeping civil registration of births etc.
The linguist Jernej Kopitar and the poet Valentin Vodnik succeeded in instructing the authorities at that time that the language of the inhabitants living in the present-day Slovenian part of the Illyrian Provinces was actually the Slovene language.
Although at the time of the Illyrian Provinces the educational reform did not come to life to its fullest ability, it was nevertheless of considerable social significance.
The plan for reorganisation of the school system provided for education in elementary and secondary schools in the provincial Slovene language in Slovenian areas.
In 1813, the French author Charles Nodier worked in Ljubljana as the last editor of the journal, significantly renovated it, and published it in French, Italian, and German.
The Marmont's school reform introduced, in the fall of 1810, a uniform four-year primary school and an extended network of lower and upper gymnasiums and crafts schools.
Although French rule in the Illyrian Provinces was short-lived and did not enjoy the same level of popularity among people, it significantly contributed to greater national self-confidence and awareness of freedoms, especially in the Slovene lands.
The opinion of Napoleon's rule and the Illyrian Provinces changed significantly at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, when liberal Croatian and Slovene intellectuals began to praise the French for liberation from Austrian rule.
It could also be established today that the short period of the Illyrian Provinces was the beginning of a period of an enhanced awareness of the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity.
In 1816 they were reconstituted without Dalmatia and Croatia, yet now with all of Carinthia, as a Kingdom of Illyria, which was formally abolished only in 1849, even though the civil administration of the Croatian districts had already been placed under Hungarian administration in 1822.
The memory of the French and of the Emperor Napoleon is embedded in Croatian and Slovene traditions, in their folk art and folk songs.
The presence of the French on Croatian and Slovene territories reflects also in the surnames and house names of French origin, in frescoes, and other paintings depicting French soldiers as well as in rich immovable cultural heritage (roads, bridges, fountains).
In 1929, a national ceremony was held in Ljubljana during which a monument was erected to Napoleon and Illyria at French Revolution Square.
One of the central streets in Split city centre is named after marshal Marmont, in appreciation of his enlightened rule in Dalmatia.
Established in 2000, The Universities at Shady Grove (USG) is a regional higher education center of the University System of Maryland that offers students access to undergraduate and graduate degree programs from nine universities on one convenient campus in Rockville, Maryland.
USG, in turn, provides centralized on-site student, academic and administrative services in the areas of admissions, financial aid, technology, student support and campus life.
This integrated approach allows USG to offer accessible pathways to approximately 80 upper-level undergraduate, graduate and professional degree and certificate programs.
Students looking to enroll in a program at USG apply directly to the university offering their desired program and follow that school’s admission requirements.
Students are taught by the same professors, take the same courses, and have the same curriculum as students enrolled in that program at their university’s main campus.
Students at USG are held to the same high-quality admissions, academic, and graduation standards as students at their university's main campus, but they benefit from additional scholarships, small classes, and personalized support.
USG’s innovative and pioneering partnership approach to higher education is designed to connect college students to outstanding career opportunities, while providing regional employers with a highly educated, skilled workforce.
He joined the band The Specs and released his first recording on a battle of bands LP produced by a local radio station, and fronted his own local band called The Dialtones.
when they played a show in his hometown the previous year, collaborated with frontman Michael Stipe in a duo group under the name Community Trolls, as well as played guitar in Stipe's sister Lynda Stipe's band, Oh-OK.
The Clark Memorandum on the Monroe Doctrine or Clark Memorandum, written on December 17, 1928 by Calvin Coolidge's undersecretary of state J. Reuben Clark, concerned the United States' use of military force to intervene in Latin American nations.
However, it was not a complete repudiation of the Roosevelt Corollary but was rather a statement that any intervention by the U.S. was not sanctioned by the Monroe Doctrine but rather was the right of America as a state.
This separated the Roosevelt Corollary from the Monroe Doctrine by noting that the Monroe Doctrine only applied to situations involving European countries.
One main point in the Clark Memorandum was to note that the Monroe Doctrine was based on conflicts of interest only between the United States and European nations, rather than between the United States and Latin American nations.
Historian Gene Sessions says the memorandum said the Monroe Doctrine did not explicitly renounce rights of intervention in Latin America (as often stated).
During the late 1920s, a number of American foreign policy leaders started to argue for a softer tone in US relations with Latin American nations, which had been chafing under decades of intervention by the United States.
Under secretary of State, and later Ambassador to Mexico, J. Reuben Clark (1871–1961) held these conciliatory views and completed work on the 236-page Memorandum late in the Coolidge administration.
While sometimes regarded as an outright repudiation of the Roosevelt Corollary, Clark was simply advancing his belief that the corollary was separate from the Monroe Doctrine and that American intervention in Latin America, when necessary, was sanctioned by U.S. rights as a sovereign nation, not by the Monroe Doctrine.
Clark's views were not made public until March 1930 during the Hoover administration, when Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson was guiding American diplomacy toward the beginning of a Good Neighbor Policy with its Latin American neighbors.
Owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company through its Parks, Experiences and Products division, the park opened on October 1, 1971, as the first of four theme parks at the resort.
Its layout and attractions are based on Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California, and are dedicated to fairy tales and Disney characters.
In 2019, the park hosted 20.9 million visitors, making it the most visited theme park in the world for the thirteenth consecutive year and the most visited theme park in North America for at least the past nineteen years.
Although Walt Disney had been highly involved in planning the Florida Project, he died before he could see the vision through.
He disliked that the cowboy intruded on the futuristic setting of Tomorrowland and wanted to avoid situations like this in the new park.
Because of Florida's high water table, the tunnels could not be put underground, so they were built at the existing grade, meaning the park is built on the second story, giving the Magic Kingdom an elevation of .
The area around the utilidors was filled in with dirt removed from the Seven Seas Lagoon, which was being constructed at the same time.
The tunnels were intended to be designed into all subsequent Walt Disney World parks but were set aside mostly because of financial constraints.
Magic Kingdom Park opened as the first part of the Walt Disney World Resort on October 1, 1971, commencing concurrently with Disney's Contemporary Resort and Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.
It opened with twenty-three attractions, three unique to the park and twenty replicas of attractions at Disneyland, split into six themed lands, five copies of those at Disneyland (Main Street, U.S.A., Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland) and the Magic Kingdom exclusive of Liberty Square.
While there is no individual dedication to Magic Kingdom, the dedication by Roy O. Disney for the entire resort was placed within its gates.
The land was home to attractions such as Mickey's Country House, Minnie's Country House, The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm, and Donald's Boat.
The Walt Disney World Railroad station in Mickey's Toontown Fair, which opened with Mickey's Birthdayland in 1988, was closed for the duration of the construction.
In 2012, the space where Mickey's Toontown Fair sat reopened as a part of Fantasyland, in a sub-land called the Storybook Circus, where the Dumbo the Flying Elephant was relocated.
Since opening day, Magic Kingdom has been closed temporarily because of seven hurricanes: Floyd, Charley, Frances, Jeanne, Wilma, Matthew, and Irma.
The only non-hurricane related day the park has closed is on September 11, 2001, due to the terrorist attacks that day.
This was the only place in the park where alcohol was permitted until December 2016 when four additional restaurants began selling beer and wine including Cinderella's Royal Table, Liberty Tree Tavern, Tony's Town Square Restaurant, and the Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. Skipper Canteen.
And finally in 2018, the park officially became the second Magic Kingdom-style park to serve alcohol at all table service restaurants, after Disneyland Paris in 1993.
The Walt Disney World Railroad circles around the entire perimeter of the park and makes stops at Main Street, U.S.A., Frontierland, and Fantasyland.
Taking its inspiration from New England to Missouri, this design is most noticeable in the four corners in the middle of Main Street, where each of the four corner buildings represents a different architectural style.
At the end of Main Street is Casey's Corner, where guests enjoy traditional American ballpark fare including hot dogs and fries while enjoying old baseball tunes on the piano.
The Main Street Confectionery sells sweets priced by their weight, such as candied apples, crisped rice treats, chocolates, cookies and fudge.
An example of a classic Main Street, U.S.A. attraction is the narrow gauge Walt Disney World Railroad, which transports guest throughout the park, making stops at Main Street, U.S.A., Fantasyland, and Frontierland.
Main Street, U.S.A. also has the Main Street Vehicles attraction, which includes a narrow gauge tramway with horse-drawn streetcars, and several old-fashioned motor vehicles.
The second stories of all the buildings along Main Street are shorter than the first stories, and the third stories are even shorter than the second, and the top windows of the castle are much smaller than they appear.
In 2012, Disney replaced the shop in the Firehouse with a sign up for the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game.
It is themed to resemble the remote jungles in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South America and the South Pacific, with an extension resembling a Caribbean town square.
It contains classic attractions such as Pirates of the Caribbean, the Jungle Cruise, Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, the Swiss Family Treehouse, and The Magic Carpets of Aladdin.
In Frontierland guests can relive the American Old West, from the romanticized cowboys and Native Americans, to exploring the mysteries of the Rivers of America.
The land also contains shops such as Big Al's, Frontier Trading Post, Prairie Outpost and Supply, Briar Patch, and Splashdown Photos.
Walt Disney World's Festival of Fantasy Parade begins in Frontierland and makes its way through several lands, eventually ending on Main Street, U.S.A., toward the front of the park.
Attractions include It's a Small World, Peter Pan's Flight, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Mickey's PhilharMagic, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, and Mad Tea Party.
The original Fantasyland attractions left after the expansion was completed are located within the castle walls this courtyard area directly behind Cinderella Castle.
Attractions here include: Mickey's PhilharMagic, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, Princess Fairytale Hall, It's a Small World, Peter Pan's Flight, Mad Tea Party and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
An expanded Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride was built, with an interactive queue, and a second Dumbo ride was built next to it, in order to increase capacity.
This attraction features Goofy as a stuntman, Daisy as a fortune-teller, Donald as a snake-charmer, Minnie as a Magician, and Pluto as a special performer.
Storybook Circus opened with a streetmosphere circus act called The Giggle Gang, which had a two-year run from 2012 until 2014.
The attraction, which features Snow White's cottage and state of the art audio-animatronics, is the first roller coaster to move in a wobbling motion on track.
Tomorrowland is set in an intergalactic city, a concept of the future as seen from around the 1950s: rockets, UFOs and robots, etc.
Our scientists today are opening the door of the Space Age to achievements that will benefit our children and generations to come.
The TRON Lightcycle Power Run roller coaster from Shanghai Disneyland will be opening to the north of Space Mountain in a new area of Tomorrowland, and it will be open before Disney World's 50th anniversary in 2021.
Magic Kingdom lies more than a mile away from its parking lot, on the opposite side of the man-made Seven Seas Lagoon.
Upon arrival, guests are taken by the parking lot trams to the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC), which sells admission into the parks and provides transportation connections throughout the resort complex.
To reach the park, guests either use the Walt Disney World Monorail System, ferryboats, or Disney Transport buses, depending on the location of their hotel or parking lot.
The three hotels closest to Magic Kingdom, Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort (which is connected to the Shades of Green resort by a walking path), and Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, use either the ferry or monorail system to travel to Magic Kingdom; a walking path also links the Contemporary Resort to the park.
Guests staying at Disney's Wilderness Lodge and Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground can also ride a dedicated ferry boat to the Magic Kingdom docks.
Guests of other hotels take buses to travel to the park, while guests who are not staying at any of the resort's hotels must use the monorail system or ferryboats to travel to the park from the Transportation and Ticket Center.
Guests using ride-hailing services to travel to the park must transfer at the TTC or use the walking path from the Contemporary Resort, as ride-hailing vehicles cannot use the park's bus loops.
The outer lane is a direct nonstop loop between the TTC and Magic Kingdom, while the inner loop has additional stops at Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.
Writer-producer Ronald D. Moore had previously written an original script for the project, which the studio eventually declined to use, stating that Favreau and a new screenwriter would develop a new script.
Based on a concept by Marty Sklar, Randy Bright, and Michael Eisner, the park opened on May 1, 1989, as the Disney-MGM Studios (Theme) Park, and was the third of four theme parks built at Walt Disney World.
Spanning , the park is dedicated to the imagined worlds from film, television, music, and theatre, drawing inspiration from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Disney's Hollywood Studios was initially developed as both a theme park inspired by show business and an operating production studio, with active film and television production services, an animation facility branch, and a functioning backlot.
Construction on the combined park and studio began in 1987, but was accelerated when the construction of the similarly-themed Universal Studios Florida began a few miles away.
To increase public interest and the variety of film representation within the park, Disney entered into a licensing agreement with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, from which the park's original name was derived.
The park's production facilities were removed throughout the 2000s, and many of the park's soundstages were retrofitted for newer attractions and guest use.
In the 2010s, the park began to distance itself from the original studio backlot intention and entered a new direction of immersive theming and attraction development inspired by Hollywood stories.
In 2018, the park hosted 11.258 million guests, ranking it the fifth most-visited theme park in North America and the ninth most-visited theme park in the world.
A team of Walt Disney Imagineers led by Marty Sklar and Randy Bright had been given an assignment to create two new pavilions for Epcot's Future World section.
The latter was to look like a soundstage backdrop, with a movie theater-style entrance in the middle and would have sat between the Land and Journey Into Imagination pavilions.
When newly appointed CEO Michael Eisner saw the plans for the pavilion, he requested that, instead of placing the ride in an already existing park, it should be the anchor for a new park themed with Hollywood, entertainment, and show business.
In 1985, Disney and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer entered into a licensing contract that gave Disney worldwide rights to use the MGM brand and logo for what would become Disney-MGM Studios, which included working production facilities for films and television shows, a backlot, and a satellite animation studio for Walt Disney Feature Animation, which began operation prior to the park's debut.
In 1988, MGM/UA responded by filing a lawsuit that claimed Disney violated the agreement by operating a working movie and television studio at the resort.
On May 1, 1989, the theme park opened adjacent to the production facilities, with MGM's only affiliation being the original licensing agreement that allowed Disney to use MGM's name and lion logo in marketing, and separate contracts that allowed specific MGM content to be used in the Great Movie Ride.
Disney later filed a countersuit, claiming that MGM/UA and MGM Grand, Inc. had conspired to violate Disney's worldwide rights to the MGM name in the theme park business and that MGM/UA would harm Disney's reputation by building its own theme park at the MGM Grand hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
On October 23, 1992, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Curtis B. Rappe ruled that Disney had the right to continue using the Disney-MGM Studios name on film product produced at the Florida facility, and that MGM Grand had the right to build a Las Vegas theme park using the MGM name and logo as long as it did not share the same studio backlot theme as Disney's property.
This included the closure of the park's Studio Backlot Tour, American Idol Experience, and the Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow attractions in 2014.
The following year, the Sorcerer's Hat was removed and the original sightlines from Hollywood Boulevard to the park's Chinese Theatre were restored.
In March 2015, during an annual shareholders meeting, Disney CEO Bob Iger hinted at another possible name change for the park due to the changes coming in the near future.
In 2017, the Great Movie Ride closed as the final remaining opening-day attraction and is slated to be replaced by Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway.
Disney's Hollywood Studios is divided into seven themed areas inspired by fantasized iterations of either existing locations found in Hollywood and Los Angeles or imagined worlds from Hollywood stories.
The park's original layout featured a large Hidden Mickey, which was visible in aerial photographs of the park and on the park's early guide maps, though construction and other park changes have eliminated much of this image.
Hollywood Boulevard, inspired by the real street of the same name, serves as the park's main entrance and operates in the same vein as Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom.
Near the entrance of Animation Courtyard—resides The Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant, a themed replica of the original Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood, California.
Behind this building lies a subsection named Commissary Lane, that connects Hollywood Boulevard directly to Grand Avenue and bypasses Echo Lake altogether.
In this area, resides the ABC Commissary and the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant, a dinner theater with a retro-style theme featuring vintage car themed tables and a large movie screen featuring continuous clips of science-fiction films from the 1950s.
Grand Avenue is themed as a gentrified historic district inspired by the real location of the same name in downtown Los Angeles.
Grand Avenue is also home to PizzeRizzo—a Brooklyn-style pizza restaurant owned by Rizzo the Rat—Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano, and BaseLine Tap House, a modern California-styled pub.
In addition to Muppet*Vision 3D, this area was to include a themed restaurant and a Muppet dark ride parody of The Great Movie Ride.
The realized Muppet-themed section became a part of the park's former Streets of America area, which encompassed several attractions, including an urban street amalgamation of New York City and San Francisco.
The area's namesake street facades were formerly the park's working backlot set, which was originally a component of the park's inaugural Studio Backlot Tour, and opened to pedestrian park traffic in the mid-1990s; this area closed on April 2, 2016.
The Muppet-themed areas and a single remaining block of the Streets of America facades were reincorporated into Muppets Courtyard, which served as a placeholder designation until Grand Avenue was completed in September 2017.
The attractions include Toy Story Mania!, an interactive 4D attraction inspired by classic carnival midway games; Slinky Dog Dash, an outdoor roller coaster; and Alien Swirling Saucers, a spinning teacup ride.
was originally a standalone attraction within Pixar Place, an area dedicated to films and characters created by Pixar, resembling the animation studio's Emeryville, California campus.
Mickey Avenue, a subsection of Animation Courtyard, is home to a walk-through exhibit, Walt Disney Presents, which explores the life and legacy of Walt Disney through photos, models, artifacts, and a short biographical film narrated by Julie Andrews.
Sunset Boulevard, inspired by the real thoroughfare of the same name, was the first expansion of the park, opening in July 1994.
Located nearby is Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, an indoor darkened roller coaster themed to the music of Aerosmith, with three inversions and a high-speed launch.
The celebrity would often be featured in a motorcade along Hollywood Boulevard or would take part in a handprint ceremony at the Great Movie Ride's entrance, or participate in an interview session.
At other times, Disney has imported characters and intellectual properties that were not part of its own original library of films and television shows.
Disney had ownership of the Power Rangers franchise through its purchase of Saban Entertainment until May 2010 when Saban purchased the franchise back and were regular members of the park's cast of characters during that time.
Live musical acts, such as the cover band Mulch, Sweat and Shears and the a cappella quartet Four For a Dollar, used to perform on the park streets or as pre-show entertainment at the larger shows.
The Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade and the Pixar Block Party Bash featured film characters performing in a street party along Hollywood Boulevard and near Echo Lake.
The Walt Disney Company's original concept of the Disney-MGM Studios was to operate it as a television and motion picture production facility, as well as a theme park.
Music videos, several tapings for World Championship Wrestling, and live broadcasts of WCW Monday Nitro were also shot there; see WCW Disney tapings.
All these production and post-production facilities were constructed to be an integral part of the theme park's Backstage Studio Tour as well.
In 2004, Disney management (including CEO Michael Eisner) downsized Disney's Florida operations by closing the animation studio, laying off personnel and then moving the operations to the main animation studio in Burbank, California.
The National Portrait Gallery (NPG) is an art gallery in London housing a collection of portraits of historically important and famous British people.
The gallery moved in 1896 to its current site at St Martin's Place, off Trafalgar Square, and adjoining the National Gallery.
During this time, parts of the collection will be displayed around the UK in a series of exhibitions and collaborations, with other international loan exhibitions.
The gallery houses portraits of historically important and famous British people, selected on the basis of the significance of the sitter, not that of the artist.
One of its best-known images is the Chandos portrait, the most famous portrait of William Shakespeare although there is some uncertainty about whether the painting actually is of the playwright.
Not all of the portraits are exceptional artistically, although there are self-portraits by William Hogarth, Sir Joshua Reynolds and other British artists of note.
Some, such as the group portrait of the participants in the Somerset House Conference of 1604, are important historical documents in their own right.
Often, the curiosity value is greater than the artistic worth of a work, as in the case of the anamorphic portrait of Edward VI by William Scrots, Patrick Branwell Brontë's painting of his sisters Charlotte, Emily and Anne, or a sculpture of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in medieval costume.
In addition to its permanent galleries of historical portraits, the National Portrait Gallery exhibits a rapidly changing selection of contemporary work, stages exhibitions of portrait art by individual artists and hosts the annual BP Portrait Prize competition.
The three people largely responsible for the founding of the National Portrait Gallery are commemorated with busts over the main entrance.
At centre is Philip Henry Stanhope, 4th Earl Stanhope, with his supporters on either side, Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay (to Stanhope's left) and Thomas Carlyle (to Stanhope's right).
It was Stanhope who, in 1846 as a Member of Parliament (MP), first proposed the idea of a National Portrait Gallery.
It was not until his third attempt, in 1856, this time from the House of Lords, that the proposal was accepted.
Following calls for a new location to be found, the government accepted an offer of funds from the philanthropist William Henry Alexander.
The first extension, in 1933, was funded by Lord Duveen, and resulted in the wing by architect Sir Richard Allison on a site previously occupied by St George's Barracks running along Orange Street.
In an apparently planned attack, John Tempest Dawson, aged 70, shot his 58 year–old wife, Nannie Caskie; Dawson shot her from behind with a revolver, then shot himself in the mouth, dying instantly.
The incident came to public attention in 2010 when the Gallery's archive was put on-line as this included a personal account of the event by James Donald Milner, then the Assistant Director of the Gallery.
The collections of the National Portrait Gallery were stored at Mentmore Towers in Buckinghamshire during the Second World War, along with pieces from the Royal Collection and paintings from Speaker's House in the Palace of Westminster.
The second extension was funded by Sir Christopher Ondaatje and a £12m Heritage Lottery Fund grant, and was designed by London-based architects Edward Jones and Jeremy Dixon.
The Ondaatje Wing opened in 2000 and occupies a narrow space of land between the two 19th-century buildings of the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery, and is notable for its immense, two-storey escalator that takes visitors to the earliest part of the collection, the Tudor portraits.
In January 2008, the Gallery received its largest single donation to date, a £5m gift from Aston Villa Chairman and U.S. billionaire Randy Lerner.
Reports in February 2014 revealed that the gallery holds nearly 20 portraits of Harriet Martineau and her brother James Martineau, whose great-nephew Francis Martineau Lupton was the Duchess's great-great-grandfather.
Bodelwyddan Castle's partnership with the National Portrait Gallery came to an end in 2017 after its funding was cut by Denbighshire County Council.
In October 2019, a group of semi-naked environmental campaigners were drenched in fake oil, in the Ondaatje Wing main hall, as part of a protest against BP's sponsorship of a collection of pieces in the gallery.
Three activists covered in black liquid lay down for about five minutes on a plastic sheet before standing up again, wiping themselves down with towels, and cleaning up after themselves.
There are a number of planned exhibitions and collaborations around the UK to display parts of the collection while the gallery is closed.
These will include exhibitions starting at the York Art Gallery in 2021, the Holburne Museum, Bath (Tudor portraits, 2022), and museums in Liverpool, Newcastle, Coventry and Edinburgh, which will later tour to other venues.
In addition to the busts of the three founders of the gallery over the entrance, the exterior of two of the original 1896 buildings are decorated with stone block busts of eminent portrait artists, biographical writers and historians.
These busts, sculpted by Frederick R. Thomas, depict James Granger, William Faithorne, Edmund Lodge, Thomas Fuller, The Earl of Clarendon, Horace Walpole, Hans Holbein the Younger, Sir Anthony van Dyck, Sir Peter Lely, Sir Godfrey Kneller, Louis François Roubiliac, William Hogarth, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Sir Thomas Lawrence and Sir Francis Chantrey.
The National Portrait Gallery is an executive non-departmental public body of the UK Government, sponsored by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport.
The National Portrait Gallery's total income in 2007–2008 amounted to £16,610,000, the majority of which came from government grant-in-aid (£7,038,000) and donations (£4,117,000).
On 14 July 2009, the National Portrait Gallery sent a demand letter alleging breach of copyright against an editor-user of Wikipedia, who downloaded thousands of high-resolution reproductions of public domain paintings from the NPG website, and placed them on Wikipedia's sister media repository site, Wikimedia Commons.
The Gallery's position was that it held copyright in the digital images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, and that it had made a significant financial investment in creating these digital reproductions.
In 2012, the Gallery licensed 53,000 low-resolution images under a Creative Commons licence, making them available free of charge for non–commercial use.
A further 87,000 high-resolution images are available for academic use under the Gallery's own licence that invites donations in return; previously, the Gallery charged for high-resolution images.
Frees was born Solomon Hersh Frees in Chicago, Illinois, on June 22, 1920; he grew up in the Albany Park neighborhood and attended Von Steuben Junior High School.
During that time, he was involved in more than 250 films, cartoons and TV appearances; as was the case for many voice actors of the time, his appearances were often uncredited.
Frees' early radio career was cut short when he was drafted into World War II where he fought at Normandy, France on D-Day.
Bogart was suffering at the time from what would be diagnosed as esophageal cancer and thus could barely be heard in some takes, hence the need for Frees to dub in his voice.
Unlike many voice actors who did most of their work for one studio, Frees worked extensively with at least nine of the major animation production companies of the 20th century: Walt Disney Studios, Warner Bros., Walter Lantz Studios, UPA, Hanna-Barbera, Filmation, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, Jay Ward Productions, Rankin/Bass, and Ruby-Spears.
Disney eventually issued limited edition compact discs commemorating the two rides, featuring outtakes and unused audio tracks by Frees and others.
Frees also provided narration for the Tomorrowland attraction Adventure Thru Inner Space (1967–1985) and the original Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.
Frees is well-remembered for providing the voices for many characters in Rankin/Bass cartoons and stop-motion animated TV specials, most notably for a number of holiday-themed specials.
The resonance of his natural voice was similar to that of Orson Welles, and he performed a Welles impression several times.
Burton, who met Frees in the late 1970s, has often re-recorded dialogue for some Disneyland attractions that was originally recorded by Frees.
Dialogue that was slightly rewritten to reflect newer safety standards is performed by actors Joe Leahy (English) and Fabio Rodriguez (Spanish).
Though the official cause of death is listed as suicide, his agent issued a press release stating that he died from heart failure.
The National Portrait Gallery is a historic art museum located between 7th, 9th, F, and G Streets NW in Washington, D.C., in the United States.
The two museums are the eponym for the Gallery Place Washington Metro station, located at the corner of F and 7th Streets NW.
The idea of a federally owned national portrait gallery can be traced back to 1886, when Robert C. Winthrope, president of the Massachusetts Historical Society, visited the National Portrait Gallery in London.
In January 1919, the Smithsonian Institution entered into a cooperative endeavor with the American Federation of Arts and the American Mission to Negotiate Peace to create a National Art Committee.
Among the committee's members were oil company executive Herbert L. Pratt, Ethel Sperry Crocker (an art aficionado and wife of William Henry Crocker, founder of Crocker National Bank), architect Abram Garfield, Mary Williamson Averell (wife of railway executive E. H. Harriman), financier J. P. Morgan, attorney Charles Phelps Taft (brother of President William Howard Taft), steel magnate Henry Clay Frick, and paleontologist Charles Doolittle Walcott.
In 1937, Andrew W. Mellon donated his large collection of classic and modernist art to the United States, which led to the foundation of the National Gallery of Art.
David E. Finley, Jr., an attorney and one of Mellon's closest friends, was named the first director of the National Gallery of Art, and he pushed hard over the next several years for the establishment of a portrait gallery.
After a public outcry and an agreement to save the historic structure, Congress authorized the Smithsonian Institution to use the structure as a museum in March 1958.
Shortly thereafter, the Smithsonian Art Commission asked the Chancellor of the Smithsonian to appoint a committee to organize a national portrait museum and to plan for the establishment of this museum in the Old Patent Office Building.
Despite the Smithsonian's own extensive collection of art and Mellon's collection, there was very little for the National Portrait Gallery to display.
He encouraged the museum's curators to build a collection from scratch based on individual pieces chosen through high-quality scholarship rather than buying complete collections from others.
The following year, the NPG began the National Portrait Survey, an attempt to catalog and photograph all portraits in all formats held by every public and private collection and museum in the country.
The Library of Congress had long opposed the move in order to protect its own role in collecting photographs, but NPG Director Marvin Sadik fought hard to have the ban eliminated.
The roundel (a circular canvas), one of only four self-portraits by the celebrated early American artist, was donated to the NPG by the Cafritz Foundation.
The famous, unfinished portraits of George and Martha Washington were owned by the Boston Athenaeum, which loaned them to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 1876.
It twice offered to sell the two portraits to the Museum of Fine Arts over the previous two years, but the museum declined to purchase them.
The Athenaeum began searching for another buyer, and in early 1979 the Athenaeum tentatively reached an agreement to sell the works to the NPG for $5 million.
NPG director Marvin Sadik declined to cancel the sale, arguing that the portraits were of national historic value and belonged in the Smithsonian.
On April 12, the Athenaeum and NPG agreed to delay the sale until December 31, 1979, to give the Boston fund-raising effort a chance.
Although not completely successful, the lawsuit had one effect: Attorney General Bellotti announced in mid-summer that the Stuart portraits could not be sold without his permission.
By November 1979, the fund-raising campaign had netted only $885,631, with a pledge from the Museum of Fine Arts to match the amount if necessary.
The Athenaeum refused to lower the price, describing the $5 million listing as a significant discount from the portraits' real value.
With public and political pressure on the Smithsonian to resolve the issue, the Museum of Fine Arts and NPG agreed on February 7, 1980, to jointly purchase the portraits.
Under the agreement, the paintings would spend three years at the National Portrait Gallery (beginning in July 1980), and then three years in Boston at the Museum of Fine Arts.
NPG director Marvin Sadik, who had expressed his dissatisfaction over the Stuart painting controversy, took a six-month-long sabbatical in January 1981.
These five paintings — of presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, John Adams, and James Madison — were known as the Gibbs-Coolidge set.
In December, the museum obtained a bust of Alexander Hamilton by John Trumbull (which may have been sculpted from the portrait which was later used for the $10 bill) and a Gilbert Stuart portrait of Representative Fisher Ames from the Henry Cabot Lodge family in Massachusetts.
The following April, Varina Webb Stewart and Joel A.H. Webb presented important portraits of Jefferson Davis and his wife, Varina Howell Davis, to the National Portrait Gallery.
In 1980, the museum obtained (through purchase and loan) a number of works by graphic artist Howard Chandler Christy for exhibit.
The first such acquisition was the Frederick Hill Meserve Collection of 5,419 glass negatives produced by the studio of famed Civil War photograph Mathew Brady and his assistants.
A portion of the purchase price came from the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, which owns and operates Jefferson's historic plantation home of Monticello.
The second major purchase was an Edgar Degas portrait of his friend, Mary Cassatt, for which the museum paid $1.3 million.
On December 31, 1984, a thief pried open a display case and stole four handwritten documents accompanying several portraits of Civil War generals.
He was sentenced in April 1985 to two years in jail (with all but six months suspended) and two years of probation, and required to pay a $2,000 fine.
Two years later, noted photographer Irving Penn donated 120 platinum prints of fashion and celebrity portraits he produced over the past 50 years.
Six years later, the NPG obtained for $115,000 the earliest known daguerreotype of abolitionist John Brown, whose 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry helped sparked the Civil War.
In the fall of 2000, Neil Primrose, 7th Earl of Rosebery, offered to sell Gilbert Stuart's Lansdowne portrait of George Washington to the National Portrait Gallery.
The painting was commissioned in April 1796 by Senator William Bingham of Pennsylvania—one of the wealthiest men in America at the time.
FitzMaurice was the 2nd Earl of Shelburne, and later became the first Marquess of Lansdowne (hence the name of the portrait).
On its third trip in 1968, it was exhibited by the National Portrait Gallery, and it remained there on indefinite loan.
A search for a donor, personally led by Smithsonian Secretary Lawrence Small and the Smithsonian's Board of Regents, proved fruitless after three months.
On March 13, just two weeks before the sale deadline, the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation donated $30 million to buy the Lansdowne portrait.
NPG Director Marc Pachter flew to Nevada to meet with foundation officials on March 3, and the foundation approved the donation the following day.
The $30 million donation included $6 million to put the portrait on a national tour for three years (the NPG was closed for renovations until 2006), and $4 million to construct a new area in the Old Patent Office Building to display it.
Inflation, delays in obtaining approval for the renovation design, the addition of a glass canopy over the open courtyard, and other issues led to increases in both time and costs.
The exhibit focused on depictions of homosexual love through history, and was the first exhibit hosted by a museum of national stature to address the topic.
It was also the largest and most expensive exhibit in the NPG's history, and more private donors contributed to it than to any prior NPG exhibit.
Clough's decision led to extensive accusations of censorship and claims that the Smithsonian was caving in to pressure from a small group of vocal activists.
On December 13, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, one of the principal sponsors of the exhibit, said it would ask for its $100,000 donation back if the film was not restored.
Both decisions drew criticism from some gay rights supporters, who felt the funding cuts were too draconian in view of the fact that the remainder of the pieces continued to be exhibited.
Clough admitted, however, that he may have acted too hastily in the matter (although he continued to say he made the right decision), and the regents asked for Smithsonian staff to study the controversy and report back on how to handle such events in the future.
Named after long time docent and volunteer Virginia Outwin Boochever, this competition is widely regarded as the most prestigious portrait competition in the United States.
For the 2013 competition the total prize money of $42,000 was awarded to the top eight commended artists, and the winner received $25,000 and a commission to make a portrait for the museum’s permanent collection.
The 2006 winner was David Lenz of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and he was commissioned to paint a portrait of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the founder of Special Olympics.
The 2009 winner, Dave Woody of Fort Collins, Colorado, was commissioned to photograph food pioneer Alice Waters, founder of the Chez Panisse Restaurant and Cafe, the Edible Schoolyard and champion of the Slow Food movement.
The 2013 winner was Bo Gehring of Beacon, New York, who was commissioned to direct a video portrait of jazz musician Esperanza Spalding.
An individual also needed to be dead at least 10 years before their portrait could be displayed (although some images of obviously important living people were acquired while they still lived).
After an initial affirmative determination by curators at a monthly curatorial meeting, the National Portrait Gallery Commission (the museum's board of directors) approved the person's inclusion.
Portraits of living individuals or those dead less than 10 years are also now allowed to be displayed in the museum, as long as their inclusion is clearly important (such as presidents or generals).
Some of the criteria used in the decision-making process are: The number of existing portraits of the individual already in the collection, the quality of the potential portrait, the uniqueness of the potential portrait, the reputation of the portrait's author, and the cost of the portrait.
A hallmark of the National Portrait Gallery's permanent collection is the Hall of Presidents, which contains portraits of nearly all American presidents.
The building was used as a hospital during the American Civil War, and both Clara Barton and Walt Whitman worked as nurses there.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs, the General Land Office, and the Bureau of Pensions jointly occupied the building with the Patent Office through the Civil War and into the post-war period.
The massive increase in pension processing required by the Civil War led to the construction of a new Pension Bureau Building into which the Bureau of Pensions moved in 1887.
The United States Civil Service Commission and the Government Accounting Office occupied the building after the Patent Office vacated it in 1932.
Local D.C. businessmen asked the General Services Administration (GSA) to tear down the building and sell the land so a private parking garage could be built on the centrally located site.
Legislation for this purpose was introduced in Congress in the waning days of the 82nd United States Congress in 1952, but did not pass.
The legislation encountered resistance from a few members of Congress, architects, and the influential Committee of 100 on the Federal City (a private business group dedicated to promoting the D.C. economy).
However, the agency said it would continue to use it for federal office space (which was in short supply) until the Civil Service Commission vacated the structure.
On March 21, 1958, Congress unanimously passed legislation authorizing the transfer of the building to the Smithsonian for a national art museum.
Congress passed legislation establishing the National Portrait Gallery in 1962, and the Civil Service Commission moved out of the structure in November 1963.
Preparations for the renovation began in November 1964, and the Grunley, Walsh Construction Co. began demolition of non-historic interior structures by May 1965.
But just three years later, as the renovation was about to begin, the cost of repairs had risen to $110 million to $120 million.
Prior to the building's closure in January 2000, a decision was reached to allot about one-third of the building's total space to the National Portrait Gallery while simultaneously eliminating the informal north-south division between the NPG and American Art Museum.
Although Congress appropriated $33.5 million for the renovation, reconstruction costs were estimated at $214 million in June 2001 and the museum not scheduled to reopen until 2005.
Smithsonian officials subsequently began discussing a major change to the renovation design: Adding a glass roof to the open courtyard in the center of the Old Patent Office Building.
In November, Robert Kogod (a real estate development executive) and his wife, Arlene (heiress to Charles E. Smith Construction fortune) donated $25 million to complete the canopy.
There is plenty of seating, free wifi, and a cafe with snacks for museum visitors open from 11:30 am until 6:30 pm.
The design had to be approved by the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC), which has statutory authority to approve all buildings and renovations in the D.C. metropolitan area.
Although the NCPC approved the preliminary design, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), the United States Department of the Interior, the D.C. State Preservation Office, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation all opposed the enclosure of the courtyard.
In October 2005, the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation made a $45 million donation to the NPG to finish both the building renovation and the canopy.
Jim Carrey reprises his role as the title character Ace Ventura, a detective who specializes in retrieval of tame and captive animals.
The film was written and directed by Carrey's close friend Steve Oedekerk, who had also collaborated in the production and as a character consultant for the first film.
Once he has recovered, he is approached by Fulton Greenwall, a British correspondent working for a provincial consulate in the fictional African country of Nibia.
Because Ace is loathed at the monastery, the Grand Abbot gives Ace excuses to justify his departure, and sends him off with Greenwall.
Greenwall is subjected to Ventura's eccentric behavior when he starts mimicking different mating calls, and his dangerous driving when they head off to Africa, warning him about the hostility of eastern lowland gorillas as it is mating season.
Greenwall wants Ventura to find the Great White bat 'Shikaka', a sacred animal of the Wachati tribe, which disappeared shortly after being offered as dowry of the Wachati Princess, who is set to wed the Wachootoo Prince in a marriage of state.
After arriving in Nibia and meeting with consul Vincent Cadby, Ace begins his investigation, but must overcome his intense fear of bats in order to succeed.
Ace's investigation involves eliminating obvious suspects—animal traders, poachers, and a Safari park owner among others—and enduring the growing escalations of threat between the Wachati and the Wachootoo.
After being attacked with drugged blow-darts, Ace suspects the medicine-man of the Wachootoo of taking the bat, as he strongly disapproves of the wedding.
He eventually does when his pain makes the chief, entire tribe, and even Ouda laugh for the first time in years.
As he and Ouda walk back to the village, Ace realizes the dart he was shot with earlier is not the same as the one he was just shot with—meaning the Wachootoo didn't take Shikaka.
Advised by the Abbot, Ace deduces that Cadby has taken the bat, having planned to let the tribes destroy each other so that he can then take possession of the numerous bat caves containing guano to sell as fertilizer worth billions.
Ace, despite his chronic fear of bats, bravely yet dramatically returns the bat just as the tribes are about to meet on the battlefield.
After escaping, he breathes deeply and heavily, then encounters a female amorous silverback eastern lowland gorilla that mistakes his breathing for a mating call and he subsequently mates with the ape.
The Princess is married to the Prince, who is revealed to be the man who humiliated Ace during one of the Wachootoo tribal challenges earlier.
Because of the success of the first film, Morgan Creek Entertainment Group gave lead-actor Jim Carrey the power to decide the director.
In April 1995, Carrey had DeCerchio replaced with Steve Oedekerk, who had worked on the film's predecessor as a script consultant and wrote the screenplay for this film, but had no previous experience with directing feature films.
Spike Jonze wanted to direct the film, but Carrey turned him down as he also had no experience but he mainly didn't know him well enough.
However, Carrey stated he doesn't regret enlisting Oedekerk to direct as they were friends with creative similarities, which included improvising, changing scenes during filming, and had a vast understanding of the main character.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 32% based on 25 reviews, with an average rating of 4/10.
The University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute is a hub of intensive study into the applied science of biotechnology and its application to human health, the marine environment, agriculture, and protein engineering/structural biology.
UMBI's four centers conduct research and training that provide a core of expertise and facilities to advance the state's scientific and economic development.
UMBI emphasizes collaboration with industry, other research institutions, and federal laboratories; and sponsors training workshops, short courses, symposia, and seminars throughout the year.
The Columbus Center's Hall of Exploration was used at the home for a short-lived marine biotechnology museum from May through December 1997.
The National Electrical Code (NEC), or NFPA 70, is a regionally adoptable standard for the safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment in the United States.
It is part of the National Fire Code series published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a private trade association.
In some cases, the NEC is amended, altered and may even be rejected in lieu of regional regulations as voted on by local governing bodies.
The NEC is developed by NFPA's Committee on the National Electrical Code, which consists of twenty code-making panels and a technical correlating committee.
First published in 1897, the NEC is updated and published every three years, with the 2020 edition being the most current.
However, no court has faulted anyone for using the latest version of the NEC, even when the local code was not updated.
In the United States, anyone, including the city issuing building permits, may face a civil liability lawsuit for negligently creating a situation that results in loss of life or property.
This liability and the desire to protect residents has motivated cities to adopt and enforce building codes that specify standards and practices for electrical systems (as well as other departments such as water and fuel-gas systems).
This creates a system whereby a city can best avoid lawsuits by adopting a single, standard set of building code laws.
The Deactivation and Decommissioning (D&D) customized extension of the electrical code standard defined by National Electrical Code was developed since current engineering standards and code requirements do not adequately address the unique situations arising during D&D activities at U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) facilities.
The NEC also contains information about the official definition of HAZLOC and the related standards given by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and dealing with hazardous locations such as explosive atmospheres.
When a standards organization develops a new coding model and it is not yet accepted by any jurisdiction as law, it is still the private property of the standards organization and the reader may be restricted from downloading or printing the text for offline viewing.
Once the coding model has been accepted as law, it loses copyright protection and may be freely obtained at no cost.
Annexes A-J relate to referenced standards, calculations, examples, additional tables for proper implementation of various code articles (for example, how many wires fit in a conduit) and a model adoption ordinance.
The introduction and the first 8 chapters contain numbered articles, parts, sections (or lists or tables) italicized exceptions, and Informational notes – explanations that are not part of the rules.
Those wiring methods acceptable by the NEC are found in chapter 3, thus all approved wiring method code articles are in the 300s.
The NFPA also publishes a 1,497-page NEC Handbook (for each new NEC edition) that contains the entire code, plus additional illustrations and explanations, and helpful cross-references within the code and to earlier versions of the code.
To be listed, the device must meet testing and other requirements set by a listing agency such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL), SGS North America, Intertek (Formerly ETL), Canadian Standards Association (CSA), or FM Approvals (FM).
Most NRTLs will also require that the manufacturer's facilities and processes be inspected as evidence that a product will be manufactured reliably and with the same qualities as the sample or samples submitted for evaluation.
An NRTL may also conduct periodic sample testing of off-the-shelf products to confirm that safety design criteria are being upheld during production.
However, an AHJ, under the National Electrical Code provisions, has the authority to deny approval for even listed and labeled products.
Likewise, an AHJ may make a written approval of an installation or product that does not meet either NEC or listing requirements, although this is normally done only after an appropriate review of the specific conditions of a particular case or location.
For circuits defined as low voltage, in some jurisdictions, there is no requirement for licensing, training, or certification of installers, and no inspection of completed work is required, for either residential or commercial work.
Low voltage cabling run in the walls and ceilings of commercial buildings is also typically excluded from the requirements to be installed in protective conduit.
The precise reasoning for the selection of 100 volts as the division between high and low is not clearly defined, but appears to be based on the idea that a person could touch the wires carrying low voltage with dry bare hands, and not be electrocuted, injured, or killed.
The meaning also varies when alternating current is used, as there is the more commonly known root mean square voltage (120 V) but also a peak wave voltage (170 V).
Telephones for example use low voltage cabling, but the ringing voltage from the central office is approximately 90 volts peak AC and has an RMS voltage of 63 V.
Although low voltage cabling does not require inspection or training to install in some jurisdictions, it is still important for installers to be aware of specific safety rules such as how to correctly penetrate building fire barriers.
There are requirements for the minimum number of branches, and placement of receptacles, according to the location and purpose of the receptacle outlet.
Aluminum wiring is listed by Underwriters Laboratories for interior wiring applications and became increasingly used around 1966 due to its lower cost.
Prior to 1972, however, the aluminum wire used was manufactured to conform to the 1350 series aluminum alloy, but this alloy was eventually deemed unsuitable for branch circuits due to galvanic corrosion where the copper and aluminum touched, resulting in poor contact and resistance to current flow, connector overheating problems, and potential fire risk.
Today, a new aluminum wire (AA-8000) has been approved for branch circuits that does not cause corrosion where it contacts copper, but it is not readily available and is not manufactured below size #8 AWG.
The NEC also has rules about how many circuits and receptacles should be placed in a given residential dwelling, and how far apart they can be in a given type of room, based upon the typical cord length of small appliances.
Unlike circuit breakers and fuses, which only open the circuit when the current exceeds a fixed value for a fixed time, a GFCI device will interrupt electrical service when more than 4 to 6 milliamperes of current in either conductor leaks to ground.
While arcs from hot to neutral would not trip a GFCI device since current is still balanced, circuitry in an AFCI device detects those arcs and will shut down a circuit.
As of the 1999 National Electrical Code, AFCI protection is required in new construction on all 15- and 20-amp, 125-volt circuits to bedrooms.
However, in commercial and industrial buildings, wiring must be protected from damage, so it is more commonly installed inside metal or plastic conduit or ductwork, or passageways cast in concrete.
While some types of cable are protected by flexible spiraled metal armor, it is more common to install conduit and ductwork and pull the wire in later.
The NEC spends considerable time documenting safe methods of installing cable in conduit, the primary concerns being the abrading of insulation, damage to the wire or insulation caused by sharp bends, kinking, and damage due to excess pulling strain.
However, a wire pulled with enough force to stretch the wire, but not break it, creates a hazard of future failure or fire.
The stretched wire section will have a thinner cross section and higher resistance than other parts of the cable, and may have damaged insulation.
Breaks may form in the stretched insulation, which may not be discovered until the circuit is powered and damage from arcing or shorting has occurred.
For example, insulated cables may not be inserted directly through knockouts, due to the sharp edge around nearly all knockout holes.
Clamping and other wire protection is often not required for plastic conduit parts, as plastic is not likely to damage insulation in contact with it.
Areas with potentially explosive gases need further protection to prevent electrical sparks from igniting the gases, and internal conduit gas-tight barriers to prevent potentially ignited gases from traveling inside the conduit to other parts of the building.
Most commonly-available circuit breakers are rated to carry no more than 80% of their nominal rating continuously (3 hours or more) (NEC Art.
The temperature rating of a wire or cable is generally the maximum safe ambient temperature that the wire can carry full-load power without the cable insulation melting, oxidizing, or self-igniting.
A full-load wire does heat up slightly due to the metallic resistance of the wire, but this wire heating is factored into the cable's temperature rating.
The NEC also specifies adjustments of the ampacity for wires in circular raceways exposed to sunlight on rooftops, due to the heating effects of solar radiation.
In certain situations, temperature rating can be higher than normal, such as for knob-and-tube wiring where two or more load-carrying wires are never likely to be in close proximity.
This gives them a greater heat dissipation rating than standard three-wire NM-2 cable, which includes two tightly bundled load and return wires.
A Service record (SRV record) is a specification of data in the Domain Name System defining the location, i.e., the hostname and port number, of servers for specified services.
Some Internet protocols such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) often require SRV support by network elements.
As in MX records, the target in SRV records must point to hostname with an address record (A or AAAA record).
Clients should use the SRV records with the lowest-numbered priority value first, and fall back to records of higher value if the connection fails.
The first three records share a priority of 10, so the weight field's value will be used by clients to determine which server (host and port combination) to contact.
The two hosts, smallbox1 and smallbox2 will be used for 40% of requests total, with half of them sent to smallbox1, and the other half to smallbox2.
If bigbox is unavailable, these two remaining machines will share the load equally, since they will each be selected 50% of the time.
If all three servers with priority 10 are unavailable, the record with the next lowest priority value will be chosen, which is backupbox.example.com.
This might be a machine in another physical location, presumably not vulnerable to anything that would cause the first three hosts to become unavailable.
Current load of servers is not taken into account, unless TTL values are low enough (around a minute or lower) that the priority (or weight) values can be quickly updated.
A registry of service names for SRV records & protocols is maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) as defined in RFC 6335.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a proprietary audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed video data and compressed or uncompressed digital audio data from an HDMI-compliant source device, such as a display controller, to a compatible computer monitor, video projector, digital television, or digital audio device.
HDMI implements the EIA/CEA-861 standards, which define video formats and waveforms, transport of compressed and uncompressed LPCM audio, auxiliary data, and implementations of the VESA EDID.
The CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) capability allows HDMI devices to control each other when necessary and allows the user to operate multiple devices with one handheld remote control device.
Several versions of HDMI have been developed and deployed since the initial release of the technology, but all use the same cable and connector.
Other than improved audio and video capacity, performance, resolution and color spaces, newer versions have optional advanced features such as 3D, Ethernet data connection, and CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) extensions.
In Europe, either DVI-HDCP or HDMI is included in the HD ready in-store labeling specification for TV sets for HDTV, formulated by EICTA with SES Astra in 2005.
HDMI has the support of motion picture producers Fox, Universal, Warner Bros. and Disney, along with system operators DirecTV, EchoStar (Dish Network) and CableLabs.
The HDMI founders began development on HDMI 1.0 on April 16, 2002, with the goal of creating an AV connector that was backward-compatible with DVI.
HDMI 1.0 was designed to improve on DVI-HDTV by using a smaller connector and adding audio capability and enhanced capability and consumer electronics control functions.
The first Authorized Testing Center (ATC), which tests HDMI products, was opened by Silicon Image on June 23, 2003, in California, United States.
According to In-Stat, the number of HDMI devices sold was 5 million in 2004, 17.4 million in 2005, 63 million in 2006, and 143 million in 2007.
HDMI has become the de facto standard for HDTVs, and according to In-Stat, around 90% of digital televisions in 2007 included HDMI.
On April 8, 2008 there were over 850 consumer electronics and PC companies that had adopted the HDMI specification (HDMI adopters).
On January 7, 2009, HDMI Licensing, LLC announced that HDMI had reached an installed base of over 600 million HDMI devices.
In-Stat has estimated that 394 million HDMI devices would sell in 2009 and that all digital televisions by the end of 2009 would have at least one HDMI input.
On January 28, 2008, In-Stat reported that shipments of HDMI were expected to exceed those of DVI in 2008, driven primarily by the consumer electronics market.
Ten companies were given a Technology and Engineering Emmy Award for their development of HDMI by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences on January 7, 2009.
On October 25, 2011, the HDMI Forum was established by the HDMI founders to create an open organization so that interested companies can participate in the development of the HDMI specification.
All members of the HDMI Forum have equal voting rights, may participate in the Technical Working Group, and if elected can be on the Board of Directors.
There is no limit to the number of companies allowed in the HDMI Forum though companies must pay an annual fee of US$15,000 with an additional annual fee of $5,000 for those companies who serve on the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors is made up of 11 companies who are elected every 2 years by a general vote of HDMI Forum members.
All future development of the HDMI specification take place in the HDMI Forum and are built upon the HDMI 1.4b specification.
Also on the same day HDMI Licensing, LLC announced that there were over 1,100 HDMI adopters and that over 2 billion HDMI-enabled products had shipped since the launch of the HDMI standard.
On January 8, 2013, HDMI Licensing, LLC announced that there were over 1,300 HDMI adopters and that over 3 billion HDMI devices had shipped since the launch of the HDMI standard.
The maximum pixel clock rate for HDMI 1.0 is 165 MHz, which is sufficient to allow 1080p and WUXGA (1920×1200) at 60Hz.
HDMI 1.3 increases that to 340 MHz, which allows for higher resolution (such as WQXGA, 2560×1600) across a single digital link.
An HDMI connection can either be single-link (type A/C/D) or dual-link (type B) and can have a video pixel rate of 25 MHz to 340 MHz (for a single-link connection) or 25 MHz to 680 MHz (for a dual-link connection).
HDMI 1.0 to HDMI 1.2a uses the EIA/CEA-861-B video standard, HDMI 1.3 uses the CEA-861-D video standard, and HDMI 1.4 uses the CEA-861-E video standard.
On July 15, 2013, the CEA announced the publication of CEA-861-F, a standard that can be used by interfaces such as DVI, HDMI, and LVDS.
To ensure baseline compatibility between different HDMI sources and displays (as well as backward compatibility with the electrically compatible DVI standard) all HDMI devices must implement the sRGB color space at 8 bits per component.
HDMI permits sRGB 4:4:4 chroma subsampling (8–16 bits per component), xvYCC 4:4:4 chroma subsampling (8–16 bits per component), 4:4:4 chroma subsampling (8–16 bits per component), or 4:2:2 chroma subsampling (8–12 bits per component).
Other formats are optional, with HDMI allowing up to 8 channels of uncompressed audio at sample sizes of 16-bit, 20-bit and 24-bit, with sample rates of 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz and 192kHz.
HDMI also carries any IEC 61937-compliant compressed audio stream, such as Dolby Digital and DTS, and up to 8 channels of one-bit DSD audio (used on Super Audio CDs) at rates up to four times that of Super Audio CD.
As such, any closed caption stream must be decoded and included as an image in the video stream(s) prior to transmission over an HDMI cable to appear on the DTV.
For example, a DVD player that sends an upscaled 720p/1080i format via HDMI to an HDTV has no way to pass Closed Captioning data so that the HDTV can decode it, as there is no line 21 VBI in that format.
HDMI specifically requires the device implement the Enhanced Display Data Channel (E-DDC), which is used by the HDMI source device to read the E-EDID data from the HDMI sink device to learn what audio/video formats it can take.
HDMI requires that the E-DDC implement I²C standard mode speed (100 kbit/s) and allows it to optionally implement fast mode speed (400 kbit/s).
Transition-minimized differential signaling (TMDS) on HDMI interleaves video, audio and auxiliary data using three different packet types, called the Video Data Period, the Data Island Period and the Control Period.
During the Data Island period (which occurs during the horizontal and vertical blanking intervals), audio and auxiliary data are transmitted within a series of packets.
Both HDMI and DVI use TMDS to send 10-bit characters that are encoded using 8b/10b encoding that differs from the original IBM form for the Video Data Period and 2b/10b encoding for the Control Period.
Each Data Island Period is 32 pixels in size and contains a 32-bit Packet Header, which includes 8 bits of BCH ECC parity data for error correction and describes the contents of the packet.
Each packet contains four subpackets, and each subpacket is 64 bits in size, including 8 bits of BCH ECC parity data, allowing for each packet to carry up to 224 bits of audio data.
Seven of the 15 packet types described in the HDMI 1.3a specifications deal with audio data, while the other 8 types deal with auxiliary data.
The General Control Packet carries information on AVMUTE (which mutes the audio during changes that may cause audio noise) and Color Depth (which sends the bit depth of the current video stream and is required for deep color).
The Gamut Metadata Packet carries information on the color space being used for the current video stream and is required for xvYCC.
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is an HDMI feature designed to allow the user to command and control up to 15 CEC-enabled devices, that are connected through HDMI, by using only one of their remote controls (for example by controlling a television set, set-top box, and DVD player using only the remote control of the TV).
It is a one-wire bidirectional serial bus that is based on the CENELEC standard AV.link protocol to perform remote control functions.
It was defined in HDMI Specification 1.0 and updated in HDMI 1.2, HDMI 1.2a and HDMI 1.3a (which added timer and audio commands to the bus).
Introduced in HDMI 1.4, HDMI Ethernet and Audio Return Channel (HEAC) adds a high-speed bidirectional data communication link (HEC) and the ability to send audio data upstream to the source device (ARC).
If only ARC transmission is required, a single mode signal using the HEAC+ line can be used, otherwise, HEC is transmitted as a differential signal over the pair of lines, and ARC as a common mode component of the pair.
This direction is used when the TV is the one that generates or receives the video stream instead of the other equipment.
A typical case is the running of an app on a smart TV such as Netflix, but reproduction of audio is handled by the other equipment.
Without ARC, the audio output from the TV must be routed by another cable, typically TOSLink or coax, into the speaker system.
HDMI Ethernet Channel technology consolidates video, audio, and data streams into a single HDMI cable, and the HEC feature enables IP-based applications over HDMI and provides a bidirectional Ethernet communication at 100 Mbit/s.
The physical layer of the Ethernet implementation uses a hybrid to simultaneously send and receive attenuated 100BASE-TX-type signals through a single twisted pair.
No signal conversion is required when an adapter or asymmetric cable is used, so there is no loss of video quality.
From a user's perspective, an HDMI display can be driven by a single-link DVI-D source, since HDMI and DVI-D define an overlapping minimum set of allowed resolutions and frame-buffer formats to ensure a basic level of interoperability.
In the reverse case, a DVI-D monitor has the same level of basic interoperability unless content protection with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) interferes—or the HDMI color encoding is in component color space instead of RGB, which is not possible in DVI.
An HDMI source, such as a Blu-ray player, may require an HDCP-compliant display, and refuse to output HDCP-protected content to a non-compliant display.
A further complication is that there is a small amount of display equipment, such as some high-end home theater projectors, designed with HDMI inputs but not HDCP-compliant.
Typically, the only limitation is the gender of the adapter's connectors and the gender of the cables and sockets it is used with.
However, many devices output HDMI over a DVI connector (e.g., ATI 3000-series and NVIDIA GTX 200-series video cards), and some multimedia displays may accept HDMI (including audio) over a DVI input.
Intel created the original technology to make sure that digital content followed the guidelines set by the Digital Content Protection group.
CSS, CPRM and AACS require the use of HDCP on HDMI when playing back encrypted DVD Video, DVD Audio, HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc.
According to HDCP Specification 1.2 (beginning with HDMI CTS 1.3a), any system that implements HDCP must do so in a fully compliant manner.
A simple example of this is several HDMI devices connected to an HDMI AV receiver that is connected to an HDMI display.
Devices called HDCP strippers can remove the HDCP information from the video signal so the video can play on non-HDCP-compliant displays, though a fair use and non-disclosure form must usually be signed with a registering agency before use.
Type A/B are defined in the HDMI 1.0 specification, type C is defined in the HDMI 1.3 specification, and type D/E are defined in the HDMI 1.4 specification.
An HDMI cable is composed of four shielded twisted pairs, with impedance of the order of 100 Ω (±15%), plus seven separate conductors.
HDMI cables with Ethernet differ in that three of the separate conductors instead form an additional shielded twisted pair (with the CEC/DDC ground as a shield).
Category 1 and 2 cables can either meet the required parameter specifications for inter-pair skew, far-end crosstalk, attenuation and differential impedance, or they can meet the required non equalized/equalized eye diagram requirements.
A cable of about can be manufactured to Category 1 specifications easily and inexpensively by using 28 AWG (0.081 mm²) conductors.
With better quality construction and materials, including 24 AWG (0.205 mm²) conductors, an HDMI cable can reach lengths of up to .
Many HDMI cables under 5 meters of length that were made before the HDMI 1.3 specification can work as Category 2 cables, but only Category 2-tested cables are guaranteed to work for Category 2 purposes.
A new certification program was introduced in October 2015 to certify that cables work at the 18 Gbit/s maximum bandwidth of the HDMI 2.0 specification.
In addition to expanding the set of cable testing requirements, the certification program introduces an EMI test to ensure cables minimize interference with wireless signals.
The cable is backwards compatible with the earlier HDMI devices, using existing HDMI type A, C and D connectors, and includes HDMI Ethernet.
An HDMI extender is a single device (or pair of devices) powered with an external power source or with the 5V DC from the HDMI source.
Long cables can cause instability of HDCP and blinking on the screen, due to the weakened DDC signal that HDCP requires.
HDCP DDC signals must be multiplexed with TMDS video signals to comply with HDCP requirements for HDMI extenders based on a single Category 5/Category 6 cable.
Active HDMI cables use electronics within the cable to boost the signal and allow for HDMI cables of up to ; those based on HDBaseT can extend to 100 meters; HDMI extenders that are based on dual Category 5/Category 6 cable can extend HDMI to ; while HDMI extenders based on optical fiber can extend HDMI to .
The HDMI specification is not an open standard; manufacturers need to be licensed by HDMI LLC in order to implement HDMI in any product or component.
While earlier versions of HDMI specs are available to the public for download, only Adopters have access to the latest standards (HDMI 1.4/1.4a/2).
The annual fee is due upon the execution of the Adopter Agreement, and must be paid on the anniversary of this date each year thereafter.
For example, if a cable or IC is sold to an Adopter who then includes it in a television subject to a royalty, then the cable or IC maker would not pay a royalty, and the television manufacturer would pay the royalty on the final product.
HDMI devices are manufactured to adhere to various versions of the specification, in which each version is given a number or letter, such as 1.0, 1.2, or 1.4b.
Each subsequent version of the specification uses the same kind of cable but increases the bandwidth or capabilities of what can be transmitted over the cable.
Since the release of HDMI 1.4, the HDMI Licensing LLC group (which oversees the HDMI standard) has banned the use of version numbers to identify cables.
Non-cable HDMI products, starting on January 1, 2012, may no longer reference the HDMI number, and must state which features of the HDMI specification the product implements.
The link architecture is based on DVI, using exactly the same video transmission format but sending audio and other auxiliary data during the blanking intervals of the video stream.
It defines two connectors called Type A and Type B, with pinouts based on the Single-Link DVI-D and Dual-Link DVI-D connectors respectively, though the Type B connector was never used in any commercial products.
HDMI 1.0 uses 8b/10b encoding for video transmission, giving it 3.96Gbit/s of video bandwidth ( or at 60Hz) and 8-channel LPCM/192 kHz/24-bit audio.
HDMI 1.0 requires support for RGB video, with optional support for 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 (mandatory if the device has support for on other interfaces).
Color depth of 10bpc (30bit/px) or 12bpc (36bit/px) is allowed when using 4:2:2 subsampling, but only 8bpc (24bit/px) color depth is permitted when using RGB or 4:4:4.
HDMI 1.0 allows only specific pre-defined video formats, including all the formats defined in EIA/CEA-861-B and some additional formats listed in the HDMI Specification itself.
All HDMI sources/sinks must also be capable of sending/receiving native Single-Link DVI video and be fully compliant with the DVI Specification.
HDMI 1.2 was released on August 8, 2005 and added the option of One Bit Audio, used on Super Audio CDs, at up to 8 channels.
To make HDMI more suitable for use on PC devices, version 1.2 also removed the requirement that only explicitly supported formats be used.
It added the ability for manufacturers to create vendor-specific formats, allowing any arbitrary resolution and refresh rate rather than being limited to a pre-defined list of supported formats.
In addition, it added explicit support for several new formats including 720p at 100 and 120 Hz and relaxed the pixel format support requirements so that sources with only native RGB output (PC sources) would not be required to support output.
HDMI 1.2a was released on December 14, 2005 and fully specifies Consumer Electronic Control (CEC) features, command sets and CEC compliance tests.
Like previous versions, it uses 8b/10b encoding, giving it a maximum video bandwidth of 8.16 Gbit/s (1920×1080 at 120 Hz or 2560×1440 at 60 Hz).
It added support for 10 bpc, 12 bpc, and 16 bpc color depth (30, 36, and 48 bit/px), called deep color.
It defined cable Categories 1 and 2, with Category 1 cable being tested up to 74.25 MHz and Category 2 being tested up to 340 MHz.
HDMI 1.3a was released on November 10, 2006, and had Cable and Sink modifications for type C, source termination recommendations, and removed undershoot and maximum rise/fall time limits.
It also changed CEC capacitance limits, and CEC commands for timer control were brought back in an altered form, with audio control commands added.
It also added an HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) that accommodates a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet connection between the two HDMI connected devices so they can share an Internet connection, introduced an audio return channel (ARC), 3D Over HDMI, a new Micro HDMI Connector, an expanded set of color spaces with the addition of sYCC601, Adobe RGB and Adobe YCC601, and an Automotive Connection System.
HDMI 1.4 defined several stereoscopic 3D formats including field alternative (interlaced), frame packing (a full resolution top-bottom format), line alternative full, side-by-side half, side-by-side full, 2D + depth, and 2D + depth + graphics + graphics depth (WOWvx).
HDMI 1.4 requires that 3D displays implement the frame packing 3D format at either 720p50 and 1080p24 or 720p60 and 1080p24.
High Speed HDMI cables as defined in HDMI 1.3 work with all HDMI 1.4 features except for the HDMI Ethernet Channel, which requires the new High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet defined in HDMI 1.4.
HDMI 1.4a was released on March 4, 2010, and added two mandatory 3D formats for broadcast content, which was deferred with HDMI 1.4 pending the direction of the 3D broadcast market.
HDMI 1.4a requires that 3D displays implement the frame packing 3D format at either 720p50 and 1080p24 or 720p60 and 1080p24, side-by-side horizontal at either 1080i50 or 1080i60, and top-and-bottom at either 720p50 and 1080p24 or 720p60 and 1080p24.
2020 color space, up to 32 audio channels, up to 1536 kHz audio sample frequency, dual video streams to multiple users on the same screen, up to four audio streams, 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, 25 fps 3D formats, support for the 21:9 aspect ratio, dynamic synchronization of video and audio streams, the HE-AAC and DRA audio standards, improved 3D capability, and additional CEC functions.
In December 2016 additional support for HDR Video transport was added to HDMI 2.0b in the recently released CTA-861-G specification, which extends the static metadata signaling to include Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG).
Ultra High Speed HDMI cables are backwards compatible with older HDMI devices, and older cables are compatible with new HDMI 2.1 devices, though the full 48Gbit/s bandwidth is not possible without the new cables.
The increase in maximum bandwidth is achieved by increasing both the bitrate of the data channels and the number of channels.
The structure of the data has been changed to use a new packet-based format with an embedded clock signal, which allows what was formerly the TMDS clock channel to be used as a fourth data channel instead, increasing the signaling rate across that channel to 12GHz as well.
These changes increase the aggregate bandwidth from 18.0Gbit/s (3 × 6.0Gbit/s) to 48.0Gbit/s (4 × 12.0Gbit/s), a 2.66x improvement in bandwidth.
In addition, the data is transmitted more efficiently by using a 16b/18b encoding scheme, which uses a larger percentage of the bandwidth for data rather than DC balancing compared to the 8b/10b scheme used by previous versions (88.% compared to 80%).
This, in combination with the 2.66x bandwidth, raises the maximum data rate of HDMI 2.1 from 14.4Gbit/s to 42.66Gbit/s, approximately 2.96x the data rate of HDMI 2.0.
The 48Gbit/s bandwidth provided by HDMI 2.1 is enough for 8K resolution at approximately 50Hz, with 8bpc RGB or 4:4:4 color.
Other features such as audio, 3D, chroma subsampling, or variable refresh rate depend only on the versions of the ports, and are not affected by what type of HDMI cable is used.
Products are not required to implement all features of a version to be considered compliant with that version, as most features are optional.
For example, displays with HDMI 1.4 ports do not necessarily support the full 340 MHz TMDS clock allowed by HDMI 1.4; they are commonly limited to lower speeds such as 300 MHz (1080p 120 Hz) or even as low as 165 MHz (1080p 60 Hz) at the manufacturer's discretion, but are still considered HDMI 1.4-compliant.
Likewise, features like 10 bpc (30 bit/px) color depth may also not be supported, even if the HDMI version allows it and the display supports it over other interfaces such as DisplayPort.
HDMI 1.0 and 1.1 are restricted to transmitting only certain video formats, defined in EIA/CEA-861-B and in the HDMI Specification itself.
Formats that are not supported by the HDMI Specification (i.e., no standardized timings defined) may be implemented as a vendor-specific format.
Successive versions of the HDMI Specification continue to add support for additional formats (such as 4K resolutions), but the added support is to establish standardized timings to ensure interoperability between products, not to establish which formats are or aren't permitted.
Individual products may have heavier limitations than those listed below, since HDMI devices are not required to support the maximum bandwidth of the HDMI version that they implement.
Therefore, it is not guaranteed that a display will support the refresh rates listed in this table, even if the display has the required HDMI version.
The Blu-ray specification does not include video encoded with either deep color or xvYCC; thus, HDMI 1.0 can transfer Blu-ray discs at full video quality.
The HDMI 1.4 specification (released in 2009) added support for 3D video and is used by all Blu-ray 3D compatible players.
The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) spokespersons have stated (Sept. 2014 at IFA show in Berlin, Germany) that the Blu-ray, Ultra HD players, and 4K discs are expected to be available starting in the second half to 2015.
It is anticipated that such Blu-ray UHD players will be required to include a HDMI 2.0 output that supports HDCP 2.2.
Blu-ray permits secondary audio decoding, whereby the disc content can tell the player to mix multiple audio sources together before final output.
Some Blu-ray and HD DVD players can decode all of the audio codecs internally and can output LPCM audio over HDMI.
Multichannel LPCM can be transported over an HDMI connection, and as long as the AV receiver implements multichannel LPCM audio over HDMI and implements HDCP, the audio reproduction is equal in resolution to HDMI 1.3 bitstream output.
Virtually all modern AV Receivers now offer HDMI 1.4 inputs and outputs with processing for all of the audio formats offered by Blu-ray Discs and other HD video sources.
During 2014 several manufacturers introduced premium AV Receivers that include one, or multiple, HDMI 2.0 inputs along with a HDMI 2.0 output(s).
However, not until 2015 did most major manufacturers of AV receivers also support HDCP 2.2 as needed to support certain high quality UHD video sources, such as Blu-ray UHD players.
Although often HD video capable cameras include an HDMI interface for playback or even live preview, the image processor and the video processor of cameras usable for uncompressed video must be able to deliver the full image resolution at the specified frame rate in real-time without any missing frames causing jitter.
For example, Intel's motherboard chipsets since the 945G and NVIDIA's GeForce 8200/8300 motherboard chipsets are capable of 8-channel LPCM output over HDMI.
Eight-channel LPCM audio output over HDMI with a video card was first seen with the ATI Radeon HD 4850, which was released in June 2008 and is implemented by other video cards in the ATI Radeon HD 4000 series.
Linux can drive 8-channel LPCM audio over HDMI if the video card has the necessary hardware and implements the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA).
Cyberlink announced in June 2008 that they would update their PowerDVD playback software to allow 192 kHz/24-bit Blu-ray Disc audio decoding in Q3-Q4 of 2008.
Even with an HDMI output, a computer may not be able to produce signals that implement HDCP, Microsoft's Protected Video Path, or Microsoft's Protected Audio Path.
The first computer monitors that could process HDCP were released in 2005; by February 2006 a dozen different models had been released.
The Protected Video Path was enabled in graphic cards that had HDCP capability, since it was required for output of Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD video.
In comparison, the Protected Audio Path was required only if a lossless audio bitstream (such as Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD MA) was output.
Uncompressed LPCM audio, however, does not require a Protected Audio Path, and software programs such as PowerDVD and WinDVD can decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA and output it as LPCM.
A limitation is that if the computer does not implement a Protected Audio Path, the audio must be downsampled to 16-bit 48 kHz but can still output at up to 8 channels.
The Asus Xonar HDAV1.3 became the first HDMI sound card that implemented the Protected Audio Path and could both bitstream and decode lossless audio (Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA), although bitstreaming is only available if using the ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre software.
In September 2009, AMD announced the ATI Radeon HD 5000 series video cards, which have HDMI 1.3 output (deep color, xvYCC wide gamut capability and high bit rate audio), 8-channel LPCM over HDMI, and an integrated HD audio controller with a Protected Audio Path that allows bitstream output over HDMI for AAC, Dolby AC-3, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio formats.
The ATI Radeon HD 5870 released in September 2009 is the first video card that allows bitstream output over HDMI for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
In December 2010, it was announced that several computer vendors and display makers including Intel, AMD, Dell, Lenovo, Samsung, and LG would stop using LVDS (actually, FPD-Link) from 2013 and legacy DVI and VGA connectors from 2015, replacing them with DisplayPort and HDMI.
Video game consoles that support HDMI include the Xbox 360 (1.2a), Xbox One (1.4b), Xbox One S (2.0a), Xbox One X (2.1), PlayStation 3 (1.3a), PlayStation 4 (1.4b), PlayStation 4 Pro (2.0a), Wii U (1.4), and Nintendo Switch (1.4a).
Some tablet computers, such as the Microsoft Surface, Motorola Xoom, BlackBerry PlayBook, Vizio Vtab1008 and Acer Iconia Tab A500, implement HDMI using Micro-HDMI (Type D) ports.
Samsung has a similar proprietary thirty-pin port for their Galaxy Tab 10.1 that can adapt to HDMI as well as USB drives.
by means of a digital-to-analog converter or AV receiver, as the interface does not carry any analog signals (unlike DVI, where devices with DVI-I ports accept or provide either digital or analog signals).
The HDMI Alternate Mode for USB-C allows HDMI-enabled sources with a USB-C connector to directly connect to standard HDMI display devices, without requiring an adapter.
The standard was released in September 2016, and supports all HDMI 1.4b features such as video resolutions up to Ultra HD 30 Hz, and Consumer Electronic Control (CEC).
Previously, the similar DisplayPort Alternate Mode could be used to connect to HDMI displays from USB Type-C sources, but where in that case, active adapters were required to convert from DisplayPort to HDMI, HDMI Alternate Mode connects to the display natively.
The Alternate Mode reconfigures the four SuperSpeed differential pairs present in USB-C to carry the three HDMI TMDS channels and the clock signal.
The two Sideband Use pins (SBU1 and SBU2) are used to carry the HDMI Ethernet and Audio Return Channel and the Hot Plug Detect functionality (HEAC+/Utility pin and HEAC−/HPD pin).
As there are not enough reconfigurable pins remaining in USB-C to accommodate the DDC clock (SCL), DDC data (SDA), and CEC these three signals are bridged between the HDMI source and sink via the USB Power Delivery 2.0 (USB-PD) protocol, and are carried over the USB-C Configuration Channel (CC) wire.
This is possible because the cable is electronically marked (i.e., it contains a USB-PD node) that serves to tunnel the DDC and CEC from the source over the Configuration Channel to the node in the cable, these USB-PD messages are received and relayed to the HDMI sink as regenerated DDC (SCL and SDA signals), or CEC signals.
In recent years, DisplayPort connectors have become a common feature of premium products—displays, desktop computers, and video cards; most of the companies producing DisplayPort equipment are in the computer sector.
The DisplayPort website states that DisplayPort is expected to complement HDMI, but 100% of HD and UHD TVs had HDMI connectivity.
These features were added to the official HDMI specification slightly later, but with the introduction of HDMI 2.1, these gaps are already leveled off (with e.g.
DisplayPort uses a self-clocking, micro-packet-based protocol that allows for a variable number of differential LVDS lanes as well as flexible allocation of bandwidth between audio and video, and allows encapsulating multi-channel compressed audio formats in the audio stream.
DisplayPort 1.2 supports multiple audio/video streams, variable refresh rate (FreeSync), Display Stream Compression (DSC), and Dual-mode LVDS/TDMS transmitters compatible with HDMI 1.2 or 1.4.
Revision 1.3 increases overall transmission bandwidth to 32.4Gbit/s with the new HBR3 mode featuring 8.1Gbit/s per lane; it requires Dual-mode with mandatory HDMI 2.0 compatibility and HDCP 2.2.
The DisplayPort connector is compatible with HDMI and can transmit single-link DVI and HDMI 1.2/1.4/2.0 signals using attached passive adapters or adapter cables.
The same external connector is used for both protocols when a DVI/HDMI passive adapter is attached, the transmitter circuit switches to TDMS mode.
The USB 3.1 Type-C connector is an emerging standard that replaces legacy video connectors such as mDP, Thunderbolt, HDMI, and VGA in mobile devices.
USB-C connectors can transmit DisplayPort video to docks and displays using standard USB Type-C cables or Type-C to DisplayPort cables and adapters; USB-C also supports HDMI adapters that actively convert from DisplayPort to HDMI 1.4 or 2.0.
USB Type-C chipsets are not required to include Dual-mode transmitters and only support DisplayPort LVDS protocol, so passive DP-HDMI adapters do not work with Type-C sources.
DisplayPort has a royalty rate of US$0.20 per unit (from patents licensed by MPEG LA), while HDMI has an annual fee of US$10,000 and a per unit royalty rate of between $0.04 and $0.15.
HDMI has a few advantages over DisplayPort, such as ability to carry Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) signals, and electrical compatibility with DVI (though practically limited to single-link DVI rates).
Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) is an adaptation of HDMI intended to connect mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to high-definition televisions (HDTVs) and displays.
Unlike DVI, which is compatible with HDMI using only passive cables and adapters, MHL requires that the HDMI socket be MHL-enabled, otherwise an active adapter (or dongle) is required to convert the signal to HDMI.
MHL pares down the three TMDS channels in a standard HDMI connection to a single one running over any connector that provides at least five pins.
This lets existing connectors in mobile devices such as micro-USB be used, avoiding the need for additional dedicated video output sockets.
In addition to the features in common with HDMI (such as HDCP encrypted uncompressed high-definition video and eight-channel surround sound), MHL also adds the provision of power charging for the mobile device while in use, and also enables the TV remote to control it.
Although support for these additional features requires connection to an MHL-enabled HDMI port, power charging can also be provided when using active MHL to HDMI adapters (connected to standard HDMI ports), provided there is a separate power connection to the adapter.
Versions 1.3 and 2.0 added support for 1080p 60 Hz ( 4:2:2) with a bandwidth of 3 Gbit/s in PackedPixel mode.
Version 3.0 increased the bandwidth to 6 Gbit/s to support Ultra HD (3840 × 2160) 30 Hz video, and also changed from being frame-based, like HDMI, to packet-based.
The fourth version, superMHL, increased bandwidth by operating over multiple TMDS differential pairs (up to a total of six) allowing a maximum of 36 Gbit/s.
The six lanes are supported over a reversible 32-pin superMHL connector, while four lanes are supported over USB-C Alternate Mode (only a single lane is supported over micro-USB/HDMI).
Display Stream Compression (DSC) is used to allow up to 8K Ultra HD (7680 × 4320) 120 Hz HDR video, and to support Ultra HD 60 Hz video over a single lane.
The remains of five S-IVB third stages of Saturn V rockets from the Apollo program are the heaviest single pieces sent to the lunar surface.
Humans have left over of material on the Moon, and of Moon rock was brought back to Earth by Apollo and Luna missions.
The only artificial objects on the Moon that are still in use are the retroreflectors for the lunar laser ranging experiments left there by the Apollo 11, 14 and 15 astronauts, and by the Lunokhod 1 and Lunokhod 2 missions.
Objects at greater than 90 degrees east or west are on the far side of the Moon, including Ranger 4, Lunar Orbiter 1, Lunar Orbiter 2 and Lunar Orbiter 3.
As an adolescent, she studied drama and ballet, and on graduating from Bowen High School, located in the South Chicago neighborhood, went with a local dance group on a tour of Canada.
She was also very popular across parts of the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in the Philippines where she performed at Manila's now defunct EM Club in 1957.
In 1986 she met, and on October 5, 1997, she married retired Air Force General Bernard Adolph Schriever, 20 years her senior, the leader of the crash program that developed U.S. ballistic missiles — both ICBMs and IRBMs in 1953–1962.
They honeymooned in France and the Greek Isles, then took up residence in Schriever's home in northwest Washington, D.C. Schriever died on June 20, 2005, at the age of 94.
For many years she was out of the public eye, but began touring again in the mid-1990s some years after she was widowed, performing memorable concerts at New York's Town Hall, Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall.
In October 2001, just a few weeks after 9/11, she appeared at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, accompanied by the Count Basie orchestra.
The streets of the city were still lined with armed soldiers, and she was a guest of honor at the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Tribute to Barbra Streisand.
The Astor family achieved prominence in business, society, and politics in the United States and the United Kingdom during the 19th and 20th centuries.
the Astors settled in Germany, first appearing in North America in the 18th century with John Jacob Astor, one of the wealthiest people in history.
John Jacob Astor (born Johann Jakob Astor) was the youngest of four sons born to Johann Jacob Astor (1724–1816) and Maria Magdalena vom Berg (1730–1764).
In 1783, John Jacob left for Baltimore, Maryland, and was active first as a dealer in woodwind instruments, then in New York as a merchant in furs, pianos, and real estate.
She worked alongside her husband as a consultant, and was accused of witchcraft after her success with the company in 1817.
John Jacob's fur trading company established a Columbia River trading post at Fort Astoria in 1811, the first United States community on the Pacific coast.
He was a horse racing enthusiast, and purchased a thoroughbred named Messenger, who had been brought from England to America in 1788.
During the 20th century, the number of American Astors began to decline, but their legacy lives on in their many public works including the New York Public Library.
While many of Astor members had joined to the Episcopal Church, John Jacob Astor remained a member of the Reformed congregation to his death.
Their New York City namesakes are the famous Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, an Astor Row, Astor Court, Astor Place, and Astor Avenue in the Bronx, where the Astors used to stable horses.
There are towns of Astor in the states of Florida, Georgia, Iowa, and Kansas and there are Astorias in Illinois, Missouri and Oregon.
Both of the current titleholders continue to sit in the House of Lords following the expulsion of the majority of the hereditary peers by the House of Lords Act 1999.
Air supremacy is a degree of air superiority where a side holds complete control of air warfare and air power over opposing forces.
Air power has increasingly become a powerful element of military campaigns; military planners view having an environment of at least air superiority as a necessity.
Air supremacy allows increased bombing efforts, tactical air support for ground forces, paratroop assaults, airdrops and simple cargo plane transfers, which can move ground forces and supplies.
Air power is a function of the degree of air superiority and numbers or types of aircraft, but it represents a situation that defies black-and-white characterization.
The degree of a force's air control is a zero-sum game with its opponent's; increasing control by one corresponds to decreasing control by the other.
Although the destruction of enemy aircraft in air-to-air combat is the most glamorous aspect of air superiority, it is not the only method of obtaining air superiority.
Historically, the most effective method of gaining air superiority is the destruction of enemy aircraft on the ground and the destruction of the means and infrastructure by which an opponent may mount air operations (such as destroying fuel supplies, cratering runways with anti-runway penetration bombs and the sowing of air-fields with area denial weapons).
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union claimed it could achieve air superiority despite the inferiority of its fighters, by over-running NATO airfields and parking their tanks on the runways, similar to what they have done during Tatsinskaya Raid during the Battle of Stalingrad (note the Germans used parts of their autobahn motorways as airfields during the last war).
Attack by special forces is seen by some commanders as a way to level the playing field when faced by superior numbers or technology; attacking German aircraft and airfields was the main role which the British Special Air Service was formed for.
Given the disparity in effectiveness between their own and South Korean and US fighters, North Korea maintains a large force of infiltration troops.
In the event of a war, they would be tasked, among other missions, with attacking coalition airfields with mortar, machine gun and sniper fire, possibly after insertion by some 300 An-2 low radar-observable biplanes.
Even in today's era of asymmetrical warfare, 15 fedayeen destroyed or severely damaged 8 Marine Harrier jump jets in the September 2012 Camp Bastion raid, with pilots fighting as infantry for the first time in 70 years.
During the First World War, air superiority on the Western Front changed hands between the Germans and the Allies several times.
Douhet's idea that air power could be a decisive force and be used to avoid the long and costly War of Attrition was influential although later events proved him wrong in many details.
At the beginning of World War II, Douhet's ideas were dismissed by some, but it became apparent that his theories on the importance of aircraft were supported by events as the war continued.
In 1925, the Royal Air Force (RAF) tested the ability of air supremacy in isolation from other warfare forms during their first independent action in Waziristan.
After World War I, then-Assistant Chief of Air Service in the United States Army Air Service under Chief Mason Patrick, Mitchell arranged live fire exercises that proved that aircraft could sink battleships (the largest and most heavily armed class of warships).
The Allies saw it, specifically long-range strategic bombing, as being a more important part of warfare which they believed capable of crippling Germany's industrial centers.
Through home-territory advantage and Germany's failure to push home its strategy of targeting Britain's air defenses, Britain was able to establish air superiority over the territory – a superiority that it never lost.
It denied the German military air superiority over the English Channel, making a seaborne invasion (planned as Operation Sea Lion) impossible in the face of Britain's naval power.
After the air battle, known as the Battle of Britain, the Germans switched to a strategy of night bombing raids, which Britain echoed with raids over Germany.
Achieving allowed the Allies to carry out ever-greater strategic bombing raids on Germany's industrial and civilian centers (including the Ruhr and Dresden), and to prosecute the land war successfully on both the Eastern and Western fronts.
Following the Big Week attacks in late February 1944, the new 8th Air Force commander Jimmy Doolittle permitted P-51 Mustangs to fly far ahead of the bomber formations instead of closely escorting them starting in March 1944.
Allied planes went after the German fighters wherever they could be found and substantially lowered bomber losses for their side for the rest of the war over Western Europe.
The element of air superiority has been the driving force behind the development of aircraft carriers, which allow aircraft to operate in the absence of designated air bases.
For example, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was carried out by aircraft operating from carriers thousands of miles away from the nearest Japanese air base.
Germany's most important air superiority fighters were the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Focke-Wulf Fw 190, while the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane were the primary ones on the British side.
Performance and range made the P-51 Mustang the outstanding escort fighter which permitted American bombers to operate over Germany during daylight hours.
In the Pacific Theater, the A6M Zero gave Japan air superiority for much of the early part of the war, but suffered against newer naval fighters such as the F6F Hellcat and F4U Corsair which exceeded the Zero in performance and durability.
The Hellcat shot down 5,168 enemy aircraft (the second highest number), while the land-based Lockheed P-38 was third, shooting down 3,785 in all theaters.
During the Cold War between 1946 and 1991 the US, UK, and NATO allies faced the USSR and its allies and were engaged in an arms race of improving radar and fighter intercept capability versus the threat of intercontinental strategic bombers carrying nuclear weapons.
Initially, high altitude, later combined with high supersonic speeds, was hoped to keep nuclear bombers out of range of fighters and later surface to air missiles, both of which were sometimes equipped with nuclear warheads.
In the 1960 U-2 incident an American very high altitude spy plane was shot down over the USSR with a S-75 Dvina(SA-2) long range high altitude surface to air missile largely refuting the concept of high altitude as a refuge for high-performance bomber aircraft.
US training changed to low altitude flight of bombers and unpiloted cruise missiles in the hopes of avoiding ground-based air defense radar networks by hiding in with ground clutter and terrain, thwarting attempts at air supremacy over the enemy landmass.
Airborne early warning and control flying radar aircraft as well as look down shoot down radar in fighter and interceptor aircraft allowed engaging low flying invaders again tipping the balance though this was partly ameliorated by succeeding generations of electronic countermeasures.
Ultimately the US lead the way in first applying stealth technology to small strike aircraft like the F-117 and stealthy nuclear cruise missiles carried in conventional bombers for standoff release before the air defenses got too thick.
The Soviet Union invested heavily in expensive to defeat intermediate and intercontinental range nuclear missiles and less on expensive to maintain patrol bombers, though they had to spend heavily on interceptors and surface to air missiles as well as radar sites to cover the huge landmass of the Soviet Union.
The US joined with Canada to organize defense of the area of Alaska, Canada, and the continental US with North American Aerospace Defense Command or NORAD using both interceptors, some armed with the nuclear AIR-2 Genie, and a surface to air missile component, which was at one point partly nuclearized.
Development for the B-2 stealth bomber was intended for, and in anticipation of, a nuclear war and it was the first fully mature stealth aircraft to enter service.
The F-22 Advanced Tactical Fighter was a stealth fighter and interceptor aircraft designed during the Cold War as a medium altitude air superiority fighter which was intended to destroy Warsaw Pact aircraft without ever being detected or engaged; both were introduced after the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War.
Air superiority in the feared Cold War era WW-III European theater would include fighters intercepting or diverting nuclear and conventionally armed strike aircraft and ground-based air defences some of which were developed into mobile systems which could accompany and protect armored and mechanized formations.
While the Cold War never went hot directly between NATO and Warsaw Pact alliances, the US was engaged in two major limited air wars aiding allies who faced Soviet supported enemies with both sides using weaponry designed to fight WW-III; the Korean and Vietnam wars.
The United States introduced its own swept-wing F-86 Sabre, which claimed kill ratios as high as 10 to 1 against the MiGs.
The Grumman F9F Panther, the mainstay for the USN during the war, was a straight wing carrier-based jet; it had a good showing, even having a 7:2 kill ratio against the more powerful Mig-15.
During the Vietnam war the US side, especially over the north, had restrictive rules of engagement often requiring visual identification nullifying the advantage they would have had using beyond visual range missiles though possibly avoiding friendly fire due to IFF systems not being ubiquitous on US strike aircraft.
The USAF had developed the F-100 and F-104 as air superiority fighters, though by the Vietnam war had already phased out the F-100 from all but air support missions and the fast but slow turning F-104 allegedly deterred attacks and despite losses scored no victories in air combat but in the USAF was also replaced by the F-4 by 1967.
This imbalance lead to the USAF ordering variants of the F-4 with an internal 20mm gun, and both the USAF and USN sometimes flying with centerline gun pods on aircraft not equipped with an internal gun.
The heavy F-14 and F-15 were assigned the primary air superiority mission, because of their longer range radars and capability to carry more missiles of longer range than lightweight fighters.
From 1948, when Israel reestablished independence from a protective League of Nations mandatory regime managed by the UK, the neighbouring countries have, to varying degrees, disputed the legitimacy of a Jewish state in a majority Arab region.
Some neighbouring states have in the last few decades recognized and signed peace treaties; all have ceased large scale conventional warfare to overrun Israel in large part due to an increasing ability to impose Israeli air supremacy over the region's airspace when required.
The air force initially consisted of mainly donated civil aircraft, a variety of obsolete and surplus ex-World War II combat-aircraft were quickly sourced by various means to supplement this fleet.
Creativity and resourcefulness were the early foundations of Israeli military success in the air, rather than technology which, at the inception of the IAF, was generally inferior to that used by Israel's adversaries.
In light of the complete Arab theater air supremacy, and the bombing and shelling of existing airbases, the first Israeli military-grade fighters operated from a hastily constructed makeshift airbase around the current Herzliya Airport, with fighters dispersed between the trees of an orange orchard.
As the war progressed, more and more Czech, US, and British surplus WW-II aircraft were procured, leading to a shift in the balance of power.
In 1956, Israel, France, and the UK invaded the Sinai after Egypt closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli ships in the Suez Crisis.
The Egyptian tactic was to use their new Soviet-made MiG-15 jets as fighter escorts, while their older jets conducted strikes against Israeli troops and vehicles.
In air combat, Israeli aircraft shot down between seven and nine Egyptian jets with the loss of one plane, but Egyptian strikes against the ground forces continued through to 1 November.
With the attack by the British and French air forces, President Nasser ordered his pilots to disengage to bases in Southern Egypt.
Egyptian airfields were destroyed with anti-runway penetration bombs and the aircraft were mostly destroyed on the ground; Syria and Jordan also had their air forces destroyed when they entered the conflict.
This is one of the preeminent examples of a smaller force seizing air supremacy where Israel had complete control of the skies above the entire conflict area.
Following the Six-Day War, from 1967 to 1970, there were small scale incursions into the Israeli-held Sinai desert as Egypt rearmed.
This evolved into large-scale artillery and air incursions in 1969, with Soviet pilots and SAM crews arriving to assist in January 1970.
The strategy was to engage Israeli aircraft in surprise fighter encounters near the Suez Canal where Egyptian SAMs could be used to assist fighters.
The first few days of the 1973 Yom Kippur War saw major Arab ground breakthroughs, surprising Israel who, after its lopsided 1967 victory, considered its air supremacy sufficient to blunt or dissuade any conventional attack.
Despite Egypt and Syria having rebuilt their air forces since 1967, Israel continued to deny them the airspace over the battle area; however, these Arab forces were able to control losses and shoot down Israeli air support aircraft by employing mobile surface to air weaponry which travelled along with invading units.
Most of Israel's air power in the first few days was directed to reinforce the badly mismatched garrison overlooking the besieged Golan Heights which was under attack by Syria.
After weakening the Arab SAM cover with airstrikes, commando raids, and armored cavalry, the Arab armored units outran their mobile SAM cover and Israeli aircraft began to take greater control of Egyptian skies, permitting Israeli landings and establishing a beachhead on the west bank of the Suez canal.
When Egyptian fighter aircraft were sent into the area of the Israeli bridgehead, SAM sites were offlined which allowed Israeli air power to more safely engage and destroy many Egyptian fighters though taking some losses.
The 1978 South Lebanon conflict was an invasion of Lebanon up to the Litani River, carried out by the Israel Defense Forces in 1978 in response to the Coastal Road massacre.
In the 1982 Lebanon War where Israel invaded up to Beirut, Syria intervened on the side of Lebanon and the PLO forces residing there.
The Soviets were so shaken by the staggering losses sustained by their allies that they dispatched the deputy head of their air defense force to Syria to examine how the Israelis had been so dominant.
The Israelis have upheld substantial air superiority for most of this time with Israel able to operate almost unopposed; Israel held near air supremacy against targets anywhere within range in the Middle East and North Africa until today.
Regarding aircraft procurement, Israel started with British and French designs, then transitioning to indigenous production and then also design before moving again to purchasing to American designs.
The Arabs directly participating in these battles against Israel except for Jordan and, to some extent, Iraq have commonly used Soviet designs.
During the February 2018 Israel–Syria incident, despite the loss of an aircraft, Israel has demonstrated their capability to operate without effective interference within the Syrian theater.
In the 1980s, the United States opted for a newer fighter capable of gaining air superiority without being detected by an opposing force.
The US government approved the Advanced Tactical Fighter program, resulting in the United States Air Force receiving new aircraft to replace their aging F-15 fleet.
In the Falklands War (2 April–20 June 1982), the British deployed Harrier jets as air superiority fighters against Argentina's Mach-capable Dassault Mirage IIIEA fighters and subsonic Douglas A-4 Skyhawk jets.
The Iraqi Air Force suffered almost complete obliteration in the opening stages of the Persian Gulf War (2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991).
It lost most of its aircraft, as well as command-and-control capability, to precise Coalition strikes or when Iraqi personnel flew their aircraft to Iran.
According to several reports, including reports by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists that quote Russian sources, the Russian Federation has in recent decades formulated explicit strategies for using tactical nuclear weapons.
In response Vladimir Putin, then secretary of the Security Council of Russian Federation, developed a concept of using both tactical and strategic nuclear threats and strikes to de-escalate or cause an enemy to disengage from a conventional conflict threatening what Russia considered a strategic interest.
The Kane quantum computer is a proposal for a scalable quantum computer proposed by Bruce Kane in 1998, who was then at the University of New South Wales.
Often thought of as a hybrid between quantum dot and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) quantum computers, the Kane computer is based on an array of individual phosphorus donor atoms embedded in a pure silicon lattice.
The original proposal calls for phosphorus donors to be placed in an array with a spacing of 20 nm, approximately 20 nm below the surface.
Then, a potential is applied to the J gate, drawing adjacent donor electrons into a common region, greatly enhancing the interaction between the neighbouring spins.
Kane's proposal for readout was to apply an electric field to encourage spin-dependent tunneling of an electron to transform two neutral donors to a D–D state, that is, one where two electrons orbit the same donor.
Secondly and perhaps more importantly, it's not clear that the D state has a sufficiently long lifetime to allow for readout—the electron tunnels into the conduction band.
Since Kane's proposal, under the guidance of Robert Clark and now Michelle Simmons, pursuing realisation of the Kane quantum computer has become the primary quantum computing effort in Australia.
A building code (also building control or building regulations) is a set of rules that specify the standards for constructed objects such as buildings and nonbuilding structures.
The main purpose of building codes is to protect public health, safety and general welfare as they relate to the construction and occupancy of buildings and structures.
Building codes are generally intended to be applied by architects, engineers, interior designers, constructors and regulators but are also used for various purposes by safety inspectors, environmental scientists, real estate developers, subcontractors, manufacturers of building products and materials, insurance companies, facility managers, tenants, and others.
In the USA the main codes are the International Building Code or International Residential Code [IBC/IRC], electrical codes and plumbing, mechanical codes.
In some countries building codes are developed by the government agencies or quasi-governmental standards organizations and then enforced across the country by the central government.
In other countries, where the power of regulating construction and fire safety is vested in local authorities, a system of model building codes is used.
When an adopting authority decides to delete, add, or revise any portions of the model code adopted, it is usually required by the model code developer to follow a formal adoption procedure in which those modifications can be documented for legal purposes.
However, due to ever increasing complexity and cost of developing building regulations, virtually all municipalities in the country have chosen to adopt model codes instead.
Similarly, in India, each municipality and urban development authority has its own building code, which is mandatory for all construction within their jurisdiction.
All these local building codes are variants of a National Building Code, which serves as model code proving guidelines for regulating building construction activity.
The book of Deuteronomy in the Hebrew Bible stipulated that parapets must be constructed on all houses to prevent people from falling off.
After the Great Fire of London in 1666, which had been able to spread so rapidly through the densely built timber housing of the city, the Rebuilding of London Act was passed in the same year as the first significant building regulation.
Drawn up by Sir Matthew Hale, the Act regulated the rebuilding of the city, required housing to have some fire resistance capacity and authorised the City of London Corporation to reopen and widen roads.
The Laws of the Indies were passed in the 1680s by the Spanish Crown to regulate the urban planning for colonies throughout Spain's worldwide imperial possessions.
Among the provisions, builders were required to give the district surveyor two days' notice before building, regulations regarding the thickness of walls, height of rooms, the materials used in repairs, the dividing of existing buildings and the placing and design of chimneys, fireplaces and drains were to be enforced and streets had to be built to minimum requirements.
Surveyors were empowered to enforce building regulations, which sought to improve the standard of houses and business premises, and to regulate activities that might threaten public health.
In Paris, under the reconstruction of much of the city under the Second Empire (1852–70), great blocks of apartments were erected and the height of buildings was limited by law to five or six stories at most.
The structural failure of the tank that caused the Great Molasses Flood of 1919 prompted the Boston Building Department to require engineering and architectural calculations be filed and signed.
The purpose of building codes is to provide minimum standards for safety, health, and general welfare including structural integrity, mechanical integrity (including sanitation, water supply, light, and ventilation), means of egress, fire prevention and control, and energy conservation.
Building departments review plans submitted to them before construction, issue permits [or not] and inspectors verify compliance to these standards at the site during construction.
There are often additional codes or sections of the same building code that have more specific requirements that apply to dwellings or places of business and special construction objects such as canopies, signs, pedestrian walkways, parking lots, and radio and television antennas.
The energy codes of the United States are adopted at the state and municipal levels and are based on the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
The remaining states had adopted either: a state-written code; a regional code; a prior version of the MEC or American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers standards; or no code at all.
With 1925 origins as a research station on Solomons Island, the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) is one of the University System of Maryland's two scientific research centers.
The center provides a unified focus for environmental research and education in Maryland, United States, with special attention to problems of the Chesapeake Bay, but research programs are undertaken across the US and globally.
It was the original site of Derby's railway manufacturing industry, but land here had also been used for gas and coke works, gravel abstraction and landfill.
Extensive redevelopment took place over 10 years to reclaim the site, including the building of a new access road to open the area up.
Derby County Football Club are proposing to expand facilities on offer around the football stadium with a £20 million development plan.
This is despite the club being unsuccessful in their bid to include the stadium as a venue in England's bid to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Derby County CEO Tom Glick, said that these plans would help the club deal with the new Financial Fair Play regulations which will be introduced in the Football League from 2012, as revenue from the Plaza will be reinvested back into the club.
This planned development also coincides with a plan from the City Council to build a multi-use sports arena on the same site as the proposed Plaza.
It was designed as an STOL transport and intended as a replacement for the Antonov An-26, but variants have found success as commercial freighters.
Produced in tandem with the An-72, the An-74 variant adds the ability to operate in harsh weather conditions in polar regions, because it can be fitted with wheel-skis landing gear, de-icing equipment and a number of other upgrades, allowing the aircraft to support operations in Arctic or Antarctic environments.
An unusual design feature of the An-72 is the use of the Coandă effect to improve STOL performance, utilizing engine exhaust gases blown over the wing's upper surface to boost lift.
The An-72 bears a resemblance to the Boeing YC-14, a prototype design from the early 1970s (design submitted to the Air Force in February 1972) which had also used overwing engines and the Coandă effect.
The rear fuselage of the aircraft has a hinged loading ramp with a rear fairing that slides backwards and up to clear the opening.
In 2018 it was reported that six An-72 aircraft will be upgraded for the Russian Aerospace Forces and Navy to carry more fuel and payload for Arctic operations.
This aircraft was designed to be used on unprepared surfaces: its robust undercarriage and high-flotation tyres allow operations on sand, grass, or other unpaved surfaces.
According to Statistics Canada in 2011, there are more than 600 First Nations/Indian bands in Canada and 3,100 Indian reserves across Canada.
3 are governed by the Musqueam Indian Band, one of many examples where a single government is responsible for more than one reserve.
Many reserves have no resident population; typically they are small, remote, non-contiguous pieces of land, a fact which has led many to be abandoned, or used only seasonally (as a trapping territory, for example).
For the 2011 census, of the more than 3,100 Indian reserves across Canada, there were only 961 Indian reserves classified as census subdivisions (including the 6 reserves added for 2011).
One band Chief and Council commonly administer more than one reserve such as the Beaver Lake Cree Nation with two reserves, or the Lenape people, who are in Canada incorporated as the Munsee-Delaware Nation and who occupy Munsee-Delaware Nation Indian Reserve No.
1, consists of three non-contiguous parcels of land totally 1054 hectares within the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation 42 near Muncey, Ontario, which was formerly shared between them and the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation as a single parcel of land.
Some reserves are shared by multiple bands, whether as fishing camps or educational facilities such as Peckquaylis, a reserve on the Fraser River which is used by 21 Indian bands; it was formerly St. Mary's Indian Residential School and is an example of a reserve created in modern times.
In 1870, the newly formed Dominion government acquired Rupert's Land, a vast territory in British North America, consisting mostly of the Hudson Bay drainage basin, that had been controlled by the Hudson's Bay Company under its Charter with the British Crown from 1670-1870.
After the Royal Proclamation and before Confederation in 1867 the Upper Canada Treaties (1764–1862 Ontario) and the Douglas Treaties (1850-1854 British Columbia) treaties were signed.
Between 1871 and 1921, through numbered treaties with First Nations, the Canadian government gained large areas of land for settlers and for industry in Northwestern Ontario, Northern Canada and in the Prairies.
The treaties, also called the Land Cession or Post-Confederation Treaties, Treaty 1 was a controversial agreement established August 3, 1871, between Queen Victoria and various First Nations in southeastern Manitoba, including the Chippewa and the Swampy Cree tribes.
Treaty 1 First Nations comprise the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, Fort Alexander (Sagkeeng First Nation), Long Plain First Nation, Peguis First Nation, Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation, Sandy Bay First Nation and Swan Lake First Nation.
Members of bands may enter into a trust agreement with CMHC, and lenders can receive loans to build or repair houses.
Reserve lands and the personal property of bands and resident band members are exempt from all forms of taxation except local taxation.
This exemption has allowed band members operating in proprietorships or partnerships to sell heavily taxed goods, such as cigarettes, on their reserves at prices considerably lower than those at stores off the reserves.
Due to treaty settlements, some Indian reserves are now incorporated as villages, such as New Aiyansh, British Columbia, which like other Nisga'a reserves was relieved of that status by the Nisga'a Treaty.
Indian reserves play a very important role in public policy stakeholder consultations, particularly when reserves are located in areas that have valuable natural resources with potential for economic development.
In computing, a Las Vegas algorithm is a randomized algorithm that always gives correct results; that is, it always produces the correct result or it informs about the failure.
An alternative definition requires that a Las Vegas algorithm always terminates (is effective), but may output a symbol not part of the solution space to indicate failure in finding a solution.
The nature of Las Vegas algorithms makes them suitable in situations where the number of possible solutions is limited, and where verifying the correctness of a candidate solution is relatively easy while finding a solution is complex.
Las Vegas algorithms are prominent in the field of artificial intelligence, and in other areas of computer science and operations research.
However, some systematic search methods, such as modern variants of the Davis–Putnam algorithm for propositional satisfiability (SAT), also utilize non-deterministic decisions, and can thus also be considered Las Vegas algorithms.
Las Vegas algorithms were introduced by László Babai in 1979, in the context of the graph isomorphism problem, as a dual to Monte Carlo algorithms.
Approximate completeness is primarily of theoretical interest, as the time limits for finding solutions are usually too large to be of practical use.
These criteria are divided into three categories with different time limits since Las Vegas algorithms do not have set time complexity.
A simple example is randomized QuickSort, where the pivot is chosen randomly, and divides the elements into three partitions: elements less than pivot, elements equal to pivot, and elements greater than pivot.
However, if the value of pivot is near the middle of the array, then the split will be reasonably well balanced.
In the case of average case, it is hard to determine since the analysis does not depend on the input distribution but on the random choices that the algorithm makes.
The average of QuickSort is computed over all possible random choices that the algorithm might make when making the choice of pivot.
Note that the probability that the pivot is middle value element every time is one out of n numbers which is very rare.
However, it is not practical in real life because it is not easy to find the information of distribution of T(x).
Furthermore, there is no point of running the experiment repeatedly to obtain the information about the distribution since most of the time, the answer is needed only once for any x.
Las Vegas algorithms can be contrasted with Monte Carlo algorithms, in which the resources used are bounded but the answer may be incorrect with a certain (typically small) probability.
By an application of Markov's inequality, a Las Vegas algorithm can be converted into a Monte Carlo algorithm by running it for set time and generating a random answer when it fails to terminate.
By an application of Markov's inequality, we can set the bound on the probability that the Las Vegas algorithm would go over the fixed limit.
If a deterministic way to test for correctness is available, then it is possible to turn a Monte Carlo algorithm into a Las Vegas algorithm.
Assume that there is an array with the length of even n. Half of the array are 0's and the rest half are 1's.
Since Las Vegas does not end until it finds 1 in the array, it does not gamble with the correctness but run-time.
John Graham McVie (born 26 November 1945) is a British bass guitarist, best known as a member of the rock bands John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers from 1964 to 1967 and Fleetwood Mac since 1967.
McVie and Fleetwood are the only two members of the group to appear on every Fleetwood Mac release, and for over forty years have been the group's only remaining original members.
John Graham McVie was born in Ealing, then in Middlesex (now in west London), to Reg and Dorothy McVie and attended Walpole Grammar School.
John McVie started playing the trumpet at an early age then at age 14, McVie began playing the guitar in local bands, covering songs by The Shadows.
Initially he just removed the bottom two (E and B) strings from his guitar to play the bass parts until his father bought him a pink Fender bass guitar, the same as that used by McVie's major early musical influence Jet Harris, The Shadows' bass player.
McVie was in 3J class with Roger Warwick, a baritone sax player who had studied under Don Rendell and was to emerge in the London rock-jazz scene.
McVie's first experience making music with a group of like minds was in the back room of a house in Lammas Park Road, Ealing with his long term friends John Barnes and Peter Barnes who later went on to form a group called The Strangers performing Shadows covers.
McVie's first job as a bass player was in a band called the Krewsaders, formed by boys living in the same street as McVie in Ealing, West London.
Around the time of McVie's tenure as a tax inspector, John Mayall began forming a Chicago-style blues band, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.
Initially Mayall wanted to recruit bass player Cliff Barton of the Cyril Davies All Stars for the rhythm section of his new band.
Barton declined, however, but gave him McVie's phone number, urging Mayall to give the talented young bass player a chance in the Bluesbreakers.
Under Mayall's tutelage, McVie, not having had any formal training in music, learned to play the blues mainly by listening to B.B.
In 1966, a young Peter Green was asked to join Mayall's Bluesbreakers as the band's new lead guitar player, after Eric Clapton, the third guitarist with the band (after Bernie Watson and then Roger Dean), had left.
Green, McVie, and Fleetwood quickly forged a strong personal relationship, and when John Mayall gave Green some free studio time for his birthday, Green asked McVie and Fleetwood to join him for a recording session.
However, McVie initially was reluctant to join Fleetwood Mac, not wanting to leave the security and well-paid job in the Bluesbreakers, forcing Green to temporarily hire a bassist named Bob Brunning.
A few weeks later McVie changed his mind, however, as he felt that The Bluesbreakers musical direction were shifting too much towards jazz, and he joined Fleetwood Mac in September 1967.
The album was released in February 1968, and became an immediate national hit, establishing Fleetwood Mac as a major part in the English Blues movement.
Fleetwood Mac started playing live gigs in blues clubs and pubs throughout England, and became a household name in the national blues circuit.
In the next three years, the band scored a string of hits in the UK and also enjoyed success in continental Europe.
It was on one such occasion that McVie met his future wife, the lead singer and piano player of Chicken Shack, Christine Perfect.
Following a brief romance of, it has been said, only two weeks, McVie and Perfect got married with Peter Green as best man.
With the couple being unable to spend much time together because of the constant touring with their bands, Christine (now McVie) quit Chicken Shack to become a housewife to spend more time with John.
However, following the departure of Peter Green from Fleetwood Mac in 1970, McVie successfully persuaded Christine to join him in Fleetwood Mac.
After 1970, Fleetwood Mac went through several different line-ups, which occasionally became the source of friction and unease within the band.
In 1974, the McVies, along with the other members of Fleetwood Mac, moved to Los Angeles, where they lived briefly with John Mayall.
In 1981, McVie agreed to go on the road with the Bluesbreakers again for their reunion tour with John Mayall, Mick Taylor, and Colin Allen.
During 1982 the band toured America, Asia and Australia (John McVie did not take part in the European Tour in 1983 and was replaced by Steve Thompson).
In his spare time, McVie is a sailing enthusiast, and he nearly got lost at least once on a Pacific voyage.
On 27 October 2013, Fleetwood Mac announced on their Facebook Page that McVie had been diagnosed with colon cancer and would be undergoing treatment.
He continued to play with the band during their 2014 On With The Show tour following an improvement in his condition.
Transgressive fiction is a genre of literature which focuses on characters who feel confined by the norms and expectations of society and who break free of those confines in unusual or illicit ways.
Because they are rebelling against the basic norms of society, protagonists of transgressive fiction may seem mentally ill, anti-social, or nihilistic.
The genre has been the subject of controversy, and many forerunners of transgressive fiction, including William S. Burroughs and Hubert Selby Jr., have been the subjects of obscenity trials.
Unbound by usual restrictions of taste and literary convention, its proponents claim that transgressive fiction is capable of incisive social commentary.
The early development of the genre was anticipated in the work of early 20th century writers such as Octave Mirbeau, Georges Bataille, and Arthur Schnitzler, who explored psychosexual development.
Random House Inc. challenged the claim of obscenity in federal court and was granted permission to print the book in the US.
In the late 1950s, American publisher Grove Press, under publisher Barney Rosset, began releasing decades-old novels that had been unpublished in most of the English-speaking world for many years due to controversial subject matter.
Both books were ruled not obscene and forced the US courts to weigh the merit of literature that would have once been instantly deemed pornographic (see Miller test).
The transgressive nature of this subject has made Lolita a book often found on the list of books banned by governments and the list of most commonly challenged books in the United States.
Grove Press won all these trials, and the victories paved the way both for transgressive fiction to be published legally, as well as bringing attention to these works.
Ballard, a British writer known for his strange and frightening dystopian novels; Kathy Acker, an American known for her sex-positive feminist fiction; and Charles Bukowski, an American known for his tales of womanizing, drinking, and gambling.
In the 1990s, the rise of alternative rock and its distinctly downbeat subculture opened the door for transgressive writers to become more influential and commercially successful than ever before.
Other influential authors of this decade include Bret Easton Ellis, known for novels about depraved yuppies; Irvine Welsh, known for his portrayals of Scotland's drug-addicted working class youth; and Chuck Palahniuk, known for his characters' bizarre attempts to escape bland consumer culture.
Both of Elizabeth Young's volumes of literary criticism from this period deal extensively and exclusively with this range of authors and the contexts in which their works can be viewed.
The early 21st century saw the rise of writers like Rupert Thomson, R D Ronald and Kelly Braffet with their protagonists further pushing the criminal, sexual, violent, narcotic, self-harm, anti-social and mental illness related subject matter taboos from the shadows of the transgressive umbrella into the forefront of mainstream fiction.
Due to a surge in popularity in the 21st century Transgressive Fiction now has a central hub celebrating authors and books from past classics to contemporary masterpieces.
The Quinnipiac/Quiripi/Renapi people are considered to be the first of the indigenous peoples to be placed on a reservation (by the English in 1638), under the first of several treaties which resulted in additional reservations at Branford, Madison, Derby, and Farmington.
Trumbull was the first to recognize that the New Haven band of the Quiripi was only one band or sub-sachemship and not the entire tribal nation.
Since 1997, more extensive research, based on linguistics and early historical records, has extended the boundaries of the 1500-1600 AD Quiripi/Renapi/Quinnipiac confederacies to include all of what is now Connecticut, eastern New York, northern New Jersey, and half of Long Island (prior to the immigration of the Pequot/Mohegan peoples into eastern CT).
The Quinnipiac River flows southward from Farmington, CT (Tunxis Sub-Sachemship) at Deadwood Swamp to the New Haven harbor on Long Island Sound.
The Quinnipiac people of the Long Water Land had several sub-sachemships and villages along its banks as well as main trails that criss-crossed its length.
The Quinnipiac River and Quinnipiac Hiking Trail still run directly through Sleeping Giant State Park, a sacred site revered by the Quinnipiac people as the petrified body of their culture hero, the Stone Giant, Hobbomock.
The Dutch and French called these people Quiripi (also spelled Quiripey), and the English knew them as Quinnipiac (also Quinnipiack, Quillipiac).
Bands of the Long Water Land Renapi were situated in Eastern New York, Northern New Jersey, and Connecticut, where their summer camps were on the shores and along the estuaries that ran into the Sound.
Quinnipiac River runs almost the width (top to bottom) of the state and the Connecticut (originally spelled Quinnehtukqut) River runs from the Sound all the way to the border between New Hampshire and Quebec, Canada.
), where a hereditary Long-House Grand Sachem presided over an alliance of Stump-Chief Sachems (non-hereditary, but holding positions by virtue of marriage or appointment) and Sagamores/Sagamaughs (hereditary positions), all of whom acted as wise councilors.
One of the most renown was at Cahokia, where archaeologists found these stockpiles with drills and drill bits, as well as large quantities of finished beads.
Samples weighing a few tons can be viewed at the Peabody Museum of Natural History on Whitney Avenue in New Haven, Connecticut.
The Mattabesec Sachemship in the heart of Wangunk sub-sachemships was the easternmost entrance to the Wappinger-Mattabesec Confederacy and prior to the major epidemics of the 16th-17th century, this eastern door was where Rhode Island is now (and the eastern border of Connecticut).
), the estimated population was about 25,000 in Connecticut, an additional 25,000 in Eastern New York and New Jersey (Northern Mountains).
The Quinnipiac reservation at Mioonhktuck (East Haven) is said to be the first reservation in what would become the United States over a century later, as a result of the first Quinnipiac/English Treaty signed in November 1638.
These treaties were with the British Crown and, as such, were ratified by the U.S. Constitution, according to U.S. Supreme Court decisions.
Large groups, who could not remain at the regional reserved lands, embarked on a series of removals to other Algonquian groups.
Some of these included, but were not limited to the Schaghticoke enclave, which began in the year 1699, after old Joseph Chuse married Sarah Mahwee (Mahweeyeuh).
Sarah told Ezra Stiles of Yale that she was born at East Haven and Dr. Blair Rudes confirmed that she was indeed Quinnipiac.
Other groups of refugees migrated to Brotherton at Oneida, New York, then to the White River and Muncie, Indiana; some to Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and Stockbridge, Wisconsin; some to Odenak (St. Francis) and Quebec, Canada.
Others who migrated went to Pennsylvania, eastern New York, and northern New Jersey, at the Ramapo Mountain refugium (see Ramapough Mountain Indians), by moving from rock shelter to rock shelter, in order to survive.
A rogue sachem, named Uncus, angry for having been passed over to lead the Pequotoog, took his followers and struck out on his own, founding the Mohegan Band.
Quinnipiac warriors served in many wars and battles as soldiers and sailors and as subsequent refugees, who migrated to Stockbridge, merged into an alliance to help the Sons of Liberty defeat the English in the American Revolution because of the betrayal by English allies in land dealings.
The original thirteen colonies adopted the socio-political structure of the Quinnipiac Wampano Confederacy, with each state having its own totem and calling their leader a sachem.
The bean and squash plants were planted in the valleys between rows of corn, so that the beans would curl around the corn stalks and weeding was unnecessary.
Many other plants considered weeds today were used by the Long Water people for food, beverages, medicine, and for making mats.
During the Colonial period, Quinnipiac men hired out as laborers, fishermen, and guides (the English often got lost), and Quinnipiac women sold their crafts.
The bigger dwellings were sachems' houses, which often had five or six fire pits in one dwelling (because they often had their extended family living with them).
The Long Water Land people were well known for their elm bark canoes (light and fast for easy portage), and to dugout canoes, used for trade and war.
They reckoned the passing of time by a lunar calendar and an eight-part ceremonial cycle, using various lithic and earth features as observatories to determine the phases of the sun, moon, and stars for planting, harvest, and ceremonies.
Mantowese, sachem of Mattabesec (Middletown), to the north of New Haven, signed the Second Treaty with the English, granting them use of land in his sub-sachemship.
Shampishuh, sister to Momauguin, was the female sachem (sunksquaw) of the Menunkatuck (Guilford) Sub-sachemship, who signed the Third Treaty with the English, granting them the use of land near Madison and Guilford, but reserving land east of Kuttawoo River for her people.
Quosoquonch, the sachem of the Totoket Sub-sachemship and uncle of Shampishuh, worked with Shaumpishuh in 1639 to draw up a map (for Rev.
Henry Whitfield and John Higginson) of the Quinnipiac sachemdoms from the Quinnipiac River in the west to beyond Hammonasset in the east, which included landmarks.
Elizabeth Sakaskantawe Brown was born around 1850 and lived to be well over 100 years old, living on about near Branford, Connecticut.
Sakaskantawe (Flying Squirrel) was the last matriarch of the Totoket Band and was a descendant of James Mah-wee-yeuh, a Sachem of the Mioonkhtuk Band (East Haven), who died near Cheshire in 1745.
After contact with the Europeans, which caused the epidemics and resulted in a shift of regional dialects, the language was spoken in western Connecticut, eastern New York, half of Long Island, and northern New Jersey.
From 1770 to the 20th century, the dialect became a pidginized hybridization of the n, l, y, and r dialects, until ACLI began reviving the original dialect.
Many converted just to stay alive; some pretended to convert in order to remain in their homeland and/or to avoid being sold into slavery; others converted but relocated at missionary refugee camps that boasted better treatment; still others migrated to refugiums on land of other Algonquian or Iroquoian peoples.
The Quinnipiac Stone Giant Twins (Hobbomock and Maushop), as the primary culture heroes, acted as the epitomes of good and bad, right and wrong, honorable deeds and mischievous behavior.
Hobbomock was, to the Quinnipiac, a benevolent spirit who taught the people how to hunt, fish, and survive the Ice Age, earthquakes, famines, etc., and he was the one prayed to when assistance was needed.
The Algonquian Confederacy of the Quinnipiac Tribal Council (ACQTC), the primary representative of the Quinnipiac people and heritage, has three forms of membership: full, confederate, and honorary.

Due to its tight and selective binding to F-actin, derivatives of phalloidin containing fluorescent tags are used widely in microscopy to visualize F-actin in biomedical research.
Though phallotoxins are highly toxic to liver cells, they add little to the toxicity of ingested death cap, as they are not absorbed through the gut.
They determined the presence of the sulfur atom using UV spectroscopy and found that this ring structure had a slightly shifted wavelength.
Due to its high affinity for actin, scientists discovered its potential use as a staining reagent for effective visualization of actin in microscopy.
Because of its ability to selectively bind filamentous actin (F-actin) and not actin monomers (G-actin), fluorescently labeled phalloidin is more effective than antibodies against actin.
The gene coding for synthesis of phalloidin is part of the MSDIN family in the Death Cap mushroom and codes for a 34 amino acid propeptide.
After translation, the peptide must be proteolyticly excised, cyclized, hydroxylated, Trp-Cys cross-linked to form tryptathionine, and epimerized to form a D-Thr.
Since phalloidin is exploited for its ability to bind and stabilize actin polymers but cells cannot readily uptake it, scientists have found phalloidin derivatives to be more useful in research.
Note that the synthesis below is simply a general scheme to show the order of bond formation to connect the starting materials.
Ala-phalloidin as well as many other similar variants of phalloidin are useful to increase cell uptake relative to phalloidin and to attach a fluorophore to aid in the visualization of F-actin in microscopy.
The first total synthesis of phalloidin was achieved through a combination of solid phase and solution phase synthesis (Baosheng Liu and Jianheng Zhang, United States Patent, US 8,569,452 B2).
Phalloidin, a bicyclic heptapeptide, binds to actin filaments much more tightly than to actin monomers, leading to a decrease in the rate constant for the dissociation of actin subunits from filament ends, which essentially stabilizes actin filaments through the prevention of filament depolymerization.
Thus, phalloidin traps actin monomers in a conformation distinct from G-actin and it stabilizes the structure of F-actin by greatly reducing the rate constant for monomer dissociation, an event associated with the trapping of ADP.
The properties of phalloidin make it a useful tool for investigating the distribution of F-actin in cells by labeling phalloidin with fluorescent analogs and using them to stain actin filaments for light microscopy.
A high-resolution technique was developed to detect F-actin at the light and electron microscopic levels by using phalloidin conjugated to the fluorophore eosin which acts as the fluorescent tag.
In this method known as fluorescence photo-oxidation, fluorescent molecules can be utilized to drive the oxidation of diaminobenzidine (DAB) to create a reaction product that can be rendered electron dense and detectable by electron microscopy.
The amount of fluorescence visualized can be used as a quantitative measure of the amount of filamentous actin there is in cells if saturating quantities of fluorescent phalloidin are used.
Consequently, immunofluorescence microscopy along with microinjection of phalloidin can be used to evaluate the direct and indirect functions of cytoplasmic actin in its different stages of polymer formation.
Phalloidin is much smaller than an antibody that would typically be used to label cellular proteins for fluorescent microscopy which allows for much denser labeling of filamentous actin and much more detailed images can be acquired particularly at higher resolutions.
Furthermore, it is important to note that phalloidin-treated cells will have greater levels of actin associated with their plasma membranes, and the microinjection of phalloidin into living cells will change actin distribution as well as cell motility.
Income inequality metrics or income distribution metrics are used by social scientists to measure the distribution of income and economic inequality among the participants in a particular economy, such as that of a specific country or of the world in general.
While different theories may try to explain how income inequality comes about, income inequality metrics simply provide a system of measurement used to determine the dispersion of incomes.
Classical economists such as Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus and David Ricardo were mainly concerned with factor income distribution, that is, the distribution of income between the main factors of production, land, labour and capital.
Modern economists have also addressed this issue, but have been more concerned with the distribution of income across individuals and households.
One form of income is the total amount of goods and services that a person receives, and thus there is not necessarily money or cash involved.
Here, income inequality measures also can be used to compare the income distributions before and after taxation in order to measure the effects of progressive tax rates.
Among the most common metrics used to measure inequality are the Gini index (also known as Gini coefficient), the Theil index, and the Hoover index.
An additional property of an inequality metric that may be desirable from an empirical point of view is that of 'decomposability'.
This means that if a particular economy is broken down into sub-regions, and an inequality metric is computed for each sub region separately, then the measure of inequality for the economy as a whole should be a weighted average of the regional inequalities plus a term proportional to the inequality in the averages of the regions.
Because these income inequality metrics are summary statistics that seek to aggregate an entire distribution of incomes into a single index, the information on the measured inequality is reduced.
Rather than to indicate a single measure, the society under investigation is split into segments, such as into quintiles (or any other percentage of population).
In many cases the inequality indices mentioned above are computed from such segment data without evaluating the inequalities within the segments.
The higher the number of segments (such as deciles instead of quintiles), the closer the measured inequality of distribution gets to the real inequality.
Quintile measures of inequality satisfy the transfer principle only in its weak form because any changes in income distribution outside the relevant quintiles are not picked up by this measures; only the distribution of income between the very rich and the very poor matters while inequality in the middle plays no role.
The range of the Gini index is between 0 and 1 (0% and 100%), where 0 indicates perfect equality and 1 (100%) indicates maximum inequality.
The reason for its popularity is that it is easy to understand how to compute the Gini index as a ratio of two areas in Lorenz curve diagrams.
As a disadvantage, the Gini index only maps a number to the properties of a diagram, but the diagram itself is not based on any model of a distribution process.
The 20:20 or 20/20 ratio compares how much richer the top 20% of populations are to the bottom 20% of a given population.
This can be more revealing of the actual impact of inequality in a population, as it reduces the effect on the statistics of outliers at the top and bottom and prevents the middle 60% from statistically obscuring inequality that is otherwise obvious in the field.
The 20:20 ratio for example shows that Japan and Sweden have a low equality gap, where the richest 20% only earn 4 times the poorest 20%, whereas in the UK the ratio is 7 times and in the US 8 times.
Some believe the 20:20 ratio is a more useful measure as it correlates well with measures of human development and social stability including the index of child well-being, index of health and social problems, population in prison, physical health, mental health and many others.
The Palma ratio is defined as the ratio of the richest 10% of the population's share of gross national income divided by the poorest 40%'s share.
It is based on the work of Chilean economist Gabriel Palma who found that middle class incomes almost always represent about half of gross national income while the other half is split between the richest 10% and poorest 40%, but the share of those two groups varies considerably across countries.
The Palma ratio addresses the Gini index's over-sensitivity to changes in the middle of the distribution and insensitivity to changes at the top and bottom, and therefore more accurately reflects income inequality's economic impacts on society as a whole.
Palma has suggested that distributional politics pertains mainly to the struggle between the rich and poor, and who the middle classes side with.
The Hoover index is the simplest of all inequality measures to calculate: It is the proportion of all income which would have to be redistributed to achieve a state of perfect equality.
In a perfectly equal world, no resources would need to be redistributed to achieve equal distribution: a Hoover index of 0.
In a world in which all income was received by just one family, almost 100% of that income would need to be redistributed (i.e., taken and given to other families) in order to achieve equality.
The Hoover index then ranges between 0 and 1 (0% and 100%), where 0 indicates perfect equality and 1 (100%) indicates maximum inequality.
The score is calculated using the total compensation of the CEO, including salary, bonuses, the value of stock awards and employee stock options, as well as non-equity incentive plan compensation, and nonqualified deferred compensation.
It has the advantages of being mathematically tractable and its square is subgroup decomposable, but it is not bounded from above.
A Theil index of 1 indicates that the distributional entropy of the system under investigation is almost similar to a system with an 82:18 distribution.
The Theil index can be transformed into an Atkinson index, which has a range between 0 and 1 (0% and 100%), where 0 indicates perfect equality and 1 (100%) indicates maximum inequality.
When applied to income distributions, the first Theil index relates to systems within which incomes are stochastically distributed to income earners, whereas the second Theil index relates to systems within which income earners are stochastically distributed to incomes.
As in case of the Hoover index, the symmetrized Theil index does not change when swapping the incomes with the income earners.
An important property of the Theil index which makes its application popular is its decomposability into the between-group and within-group component.
For example, the Theil index of overall income inequality can be decomposed in the between-region and within region components of inequality, while the relative share attributable to the between-region component suggests the relative importance of spatial dimension of income inequality.
The Theil index indicates the distributional redundancy of a system, within which incomes are assigned to income earners in a stochastic process.
In comparison, the Hoover index indicates the minimum size of the income share of a society, which would have to be redistributed in order to reach maximum entropy.
In order to increase the redundancy in the distribution category of a society as a closed system, entropy needs to be exported from the subsystem operating in that economic category to other subsystems with other entropy categories in the society.
However, in the real world, societies are open systems, but the openness is restricted by the entropy exchange capabilities of the interfaces between the society and the environment of that society.
For societies with a resource distribution which entropywise is similar to the resource distribution of a reference society with a 73:27 split (73% of the resources belong to 27% of the population and vice versa), the point where the Hoover index and the Theil index are equal, is at a value of around 46% (0.46) for the Hoover index and the Theil index.
These statistics are easy to interpret and communicate, because they are relative (this population earns twice as much as this population), but, since they do not fall on an absolute scale, do not provide an absolute measure of inequality.
Particularly common to compare a given percentile to the median, as in the chart at right; compare seven-number summary, which summarizes a distribution by certain percentiles.
For example, the attached graph shows that in the period 1967–2003, US income ratio between median and 10th and 20th percentile did not change significantly, while the ratio between the median and 80th, 90th, and 95th percentile increased.
This reflects that the increase in the Gini coefficient of the US in this time period is due to gains by upper income earners (relative to the median), rather than by losses by lower income earners (relative to the median).
Because income distribution is generally positively skewed, mean is higher than median, so ratios to mean are lower than ratios to median.
For example, in the chart at right, US income share of top earners was approximately constant from the mid-1950s to the mid-1980s, then increased from the mid-1980s through 2000s; this increased inequality was reflected in the Gini coefficient.
For example, in 2007 the top decile (10%) of US earners accounted for 49.7% of total wages (formula_7 times fraction under equality), and the top 0.01% of US earners accounted for 6% of total wages (600 times fraction under equality).
The Gini coefficient, the Hoover index and the Theil index as well as the related welfare functions can be computed together in a spreadsheet.
From these data inequality measures as well as the related welfare functions are computed and displayed in fields with green background.
The difference between the Theil index and the Hoover index is the weighting of the relative deviation D. For the Hoover index the relative deviation D per group is weighted with its own sign.
For the Theil index the relative deviation D per group is weighted with the information size provided by the income per individual in that group.
In other cases the groups are created based on income ranges which leads to having different numbers of individuals in the different groups.
For each group the number of individuals (or households) per group A and the total income in that group E is specified.
Evidence from a broad panel of recent academic studies shows that there is a nonlinear relation between income inequality and the rate of growth and investment.
In their study for the World Institute for Development Economics Research, Giovanni Andrea Cornia and Julius Court (2001) reach slightly different conclusions.
The authors claim that such efficiency range roughly lies between the values of the Gini coefficients of 0.25 (the inequality value of a typical Northern European country) and 0.40 (that of countries such as the US, France, Germany and the UK).
The precise shape of the inequality-growth curve obviously varies across countries depending upon their resource endowment, history, remaining levels of absolute poverty and available stock of social programs, as well as on the distribution of physical and human capital.
The Sibylline Books () were a collection of oracular utterances, set out in Greek hexameters, that according to tradition were purchased from a sibyl by the last king of Rome, Tarquinius Superbus, and were consulted at momentous crises through the history of the Republic and the Empire.
According to the Roman tradition, the oldest collection of Sibylline books appears to have been made about the time of Solon and Cyrus at Gergis on Mount Ida in the Troad; it was attributed to the Hellespontine Sibyl and was preserved in the temple of Apollo at Gergis.
It would appear to have been this very collection that found its way to Cumae (see the Cumaean Sibyl) and from Cumae to Rome.
The story of the acquisition of the Sibylline Books by Tarquinius is one of the famous legendary elements of Roman history.
The Cumaean Sibyl offered to Tarquinius nine books of these prophecies; and as the king declined to purchase them, owing to the exorbitant price she demanded, she burned three and offered the remaining six to Tarquinius at the same stiff price, which he again refused, whereupon she burned three more and repeated her offer.
Tarquinius then relented and purchased the last three at the full original price and had them preserved in a vault beneath the Capitoline temple of Jupiter.
It was only the rites of expiation prescribed by the Sibylline Books, according to the interpretation of the oracle that were communicated to the public, and not the oracles themselves, which left ample opportunity for abuses.
The Sibylline Books motivated the construction of eight temples in ancient Rome, aside from those cults that have been interpreted as mediated by the Sibylline Books simply by the Greek nature of the deity.
Since they were written in hexameter verse and in Greek, the college of curators was always assisted by two Greek interpreters.
The books were kept in the Temple of Jupiter on the Capitol, and, when the temple burned in 83 BC, they were lost.
The Roman Senate sent envoys in 76 BC to replace them with a collection of similar oracular sayings, in particular collected from Ilium, Erythrae, Samos, Sicily, and Africa.
those of the Sibyl at Tibur (the 'Tiburtine Sibyl') of the brothers Marcius, and others, which had been circulating in private hands but which were called in, to be delivered to the Urban Praetor, private ownership of such works being declared illicit, and to be evaluated by the Quindecimviri, who then sorted them, retaining only those that appeared true to them.
According to the poet Rutilius Claudius Namatianus, the general Flavius Stilicho (died AD 408) burned them, as they were being used to attack his government.
They are a miscellaneous collection of Jewish and Christian portents of future disasters, that may illustrate the confusions about sibyls that were accumulating among Christians of Late Antiquity.
Quiripi (pronounced , also known as Quiripi-Unquachog, Quiripi-Naugatuck, and Wampano) was an Algonquian language formerly spoken by the indigenous people of southwestern Connecticut and central Long Island, including the Quinnipiac, Unquachog, Mattabesic, Podunk, Tunxis, and Paugussett (subgroups Naugatuck, Potatuck, Weantinock).
It has been effectively extinct since the end of the 18th century, although Frank T. Siebert, Jr., was able to record a few Unquachog words from an elderly woman in 1932.
It shared a number of linguistic features with the other Algonquian languages of southern New England, such as Massachusett and Mohegan-Pequot, including the shifting of Proto-Eastern Algonquian * and * to and , respectively, and the palatalization of earlier * before certain front vowels.
One of the earliest Quiripi vocabularies was a 67-page bilingual catechism compiled in 1658 by Abraham Pierson, the elder, during his ministry at Branford, Connecticut, which remains the chief source of modern conclusions about Quiripi.
Additionally, three early hymns written circa 1740 at the Moravian Shekomeko mission near Kent, Connecticut, have been translated by Carl Masthay.
It has hosted some of the most notable events in music, dance, theatre, opera and literature and has held important exhibitions of painting, sculpture and photography.
The building is located on the western side of the historic center of Mexico City next to the Alameda Central park.
The first National Theater of Mexico was built in the late 19th century, but it was soon decided to tear this down in favor of a more opulent building in time for Centennial of the Mexican War of Independence in 1910.
The initial design and construction was undertaken by Italian architect Adamo Boari in 1904, but complications arising from the soft subsoil and the political problem both before and during the Mexican Revolution, hindered then stopped construction completely by 1913.
The building is best known for its murals by Diego Rivera, Siqueiros and others, as well as the many exhibitions and theatrical performances its hosts, including the Ballet Folklórico de México.
A section of this housing, on Santa Isabel Alley, was torn down and replaced by the National Theater in the latter 19th century.
During the late 19th century and very early 20th, this theatre was the site of most of Mexico City's high culture, presenting events such as theatre, operettas, Viennese dance and more.
It was then decided to replace this building with a more opulent one for the upcoming Centennial of Mexican Independence celebrations in 1910.
The work was awarded to Italian architect Adamo Boari, who favored neoclassical and art nouveau styles and who is responsible for the Palacio del Correo which is across the street.
Adamo Boari promised in October 1904 to build a grand metallic structure, which at that time only existed in the United States, but not to this size.
One reason for this is that the project became more complicated than anticipated as the heavy building sank into the soft spongy subsoil.
In 1946, the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes (National Institute of the Fine Arts) was created as a government agency to promote the arts and was initially housed at the Museo Nacional de Artes Plásticas, the Museo del Libro and other places.
Much of the technological equipment is being updated, especially in the theatre which needs computerized lights, sound systems and other improvements.
Art Nouveau dominates the exterior, which was done by Adamo Boari, and the inside is dominated by Art Deco, which was completed by Federico Mariscal.
Since construction began in 1904, the theater (which opened in 1934) has sunk some four meters into the soft soil of Mexico City.
On the plaza front of the building, designed by Boari, there are four Pegasus sculptures which were made by Catalan Agustí Querol Subirats.
The roof covering the center of the building is made of crystal designed by Hungarian Géza Maróti and depicts the muses with Apollo.
It divides into three sections: the main hall with adjoining smaller exhibition halls, the theatre and the offices of the Insituto Nacional de Bellas Artes.
In areas of the main hall, pre-Hispanic motifs done in Art Deco style, such as serpents’ heads on window arches and Maya Chaac masks on the vertical light panels distinguish this interior from its contemporaries.
The second floor has smaller exhibition halls as well as murals by José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Diego Rivera, Jorge González Camarena, Roberto Montenegro and Manuel Rodríguez Lozano.
At the entrance of the theatre, there are mascarons in bronze with depictions of Tlaloc, and Chaac, the Aztec and Maya deities of water, which along with the rest were designed by Gianette Fiorenzo.
This stage curtain is the only one of its type in any opera house in the world and weighs 24 tons.
The Palace has been the scene of some of the most notable events in music, dance, theatre, opera and literature and has hosted important exhibitions of painting, sculpture and photography.
Two of the best-known groups which regularly perform here are the Ballet Folklórico de México Compania Nacional de Opera de Bellas Artes and the National Symphonic Orchestra.
The first performs in the theatre twice a week and is a spectacle of pre and post Hispanic dance of Mexico.
A typical program includes Aztec ritual dances, agricultural dances from Jalisco, a fiesta in Veracruz, a wedding celebration — all accompanies by mariachis, marimba players and singers.
Regular annual events include the Premio Quorum for Mexican designers in graphic and industrial materials and the Premios Ariel for Mexican films.
Occasionally, the plaza in front of the Palace is the scene of protests such as those against the Iraq War in 2003 and against bullfighting in 2010.
The floors between the ground floor and the uppermost floor are dominated by a number of murals painted by most of the famous names of Mexican muralism.
On the 2nd floor are two early-1950s works by Rufino Tamayo: México de Hoy (Mexico Today) and Nacimiento de la Nacionalidad (Birth of Nationality), a symbolic depiction of the creation of the mestizo (person of mixed indigenous and Spanish ancestry) identity.
At the west end of the 3rd floor is El hombre controlador del universo (Man, controller of the universe- known as Man at the Crossroads), originally commissioned for New York's Rockefeller Center in 1933.
The mural depicts a variety of technological and societal themes (such as the discoveries made possible by microscopes and telescopes) and was controversial for its inclusion of Lenin and a Soviet May Day parade.
On the north side of the third floor are David Alfaro Siqueiros' three-part La Nueva Democracía (New Democracy) and Rivera's four-part Carnaval de la Vida Mexicana (Carnival of Mexican Life); to the east is José Clemente Orozco's La Katharsis (Catharsis), depicting the conflict between humankind's 'social' and 'natural' aspects.
The museum also arranges temporary exhibitions of its collections in other facilities to expose the Mexican public to the country's rich architectural heritage.
Some of the major architects featured at the museum include Jaime Ortiz Monasterio, Carlos Mijares Bracho, Adamo Boari and Luis Barragán.
It owns two national television networks, Azteca Uno and Azteca 7, and operates two other nationally distributed services, adn40 and a+.
Among them was the Instituto Mexicano de la Televisión, known as Imevisión, which owned two national television networks (Red Nacional 7 and Red Nacional 13) and three local TV stations.
In preparation for the privatization, the Imevisión stations were parceled into a variety of newly created companies, the largest of which was named Televisión Azteca, S.A. de C.V.
The new group soon took on the Televisión Azteca name for the entire operation and soon challenged Televisa, turning what had been a television monopoly into a television duopoly.
In 1998, TV Azteca announced an investment of US$25 million in XHTVM-TV, which was owned by Javier Moreno Valle through concessionaire Televisora del Valle de México, S.A. de C.V.
Under the deal, Azteca restructured TVM and took control of ad sales and most programming duties, while Moreno Valle's CNI news service retained some primetime space.
However, in 2000, Moreno Valle broke the contract with Azteca, alleging Azteca of filling up time allotted to CNI and not fulfilling the obligations in the contract.
In December 2002, Azteca used private security guards to retake control of the XHTVM facilities on Cerro del Chiquihuite in Mexico City.
In 2005, an employee strike that crippled CNI, Moreno Valle's mounting legal troubles, and a deal with the 5% owner of the concessionaire allowed Azteca to buy the remainder of the station and retake control of XHTVM, under the name Proyecto 40, in 2006.
It also owns Azteca banks, Azteca insurance, Iusacell, programing pay television, cinemas, live theater, news channels, newspapers, Azteca music, an acting school, Azteca consumer products, Azteca internet, Azteca series, Azteca sports, stadiums, etc.
TV Azteca also receives lucrative contracts from the Mexican government, and therefore the information that emits is also controlled by the actual government.
The news that is normally emitted by TV Azteca is 25% news bulletins that come from advertising, and infotainment relying on celebrities and biased editorials.
On 5 January 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accused TV Azteca executives (including chairman Ricardo Salinas Pliego) of having personally profited from a multimillion-dollar debt fraud committed by TV Azteca and another company in which they held stock.
The charges were among the first brought under the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, introduced in the wake of the corporate financial scandals of that year.
The Federal Radio and Television Law (known as the Ley Televisa) was a bill concerning the licensing and regulation of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The LFRT was favorable to both TV Azteca and Televisa (who together control 95 percent of all television frequencies) because it allowed them to renew their licenses without paying for them.
In February 2012, TV Azteca networks (Azteca 7, Azteca 13, and Proyecto 40) were dropped by Mexican cable-TV carriers representing more than 4 million subscribers in a carriage dispute over terms.
Cable operators claimed that Azteca wanted to charge a fee by packaging its over-the-air stations with cable networks, such as news and soap opera channels, which potentially represented a higher cost to subscribers.
In August 2018, American Tower's Mexican Unit, MATC Infraestructura sued TV Azteca for $97 Million in a New York court for defaulting on a loan from the company.
TV Azteca is part of the conglomerate Grupo Salinas, which includes the Grupo Elektra franchise of department stores, the Banco Azteca bank, and Seguros Azteca life insurance.
These concepts are also important in the design of robust hash functions and pseudorandom number generators where decorrelation of the generated values is of paramount importance.
Confusion means that each binary digit (bit) of the ciphertext should depend on several parts of the key, obscuring the connections between the two.
This property makes it difficult to find the key from the ciphertext and if a single bit in a key is changed, most or all the bits in the ciphertext will be affected.
Diffusion means that if we change a single bit of the plaintext, then (statistically) half of the bits in the ciphertext should change, and similarly, if we change one bit of the ciphertext, then approximately one half of the plaintext bits should change.
Since a bit can have only two states, when they are all re-evaluated and changed from one seemingly random position to another, half of the bits will have changed state.
This will make it hard for an attacker who tries to find out the plain text and it increases the redundancy of plain text by spreading it across the rows and columns; it is achieved through transposition of algorithm and it is used by block cipher only.
To be effective, any non-uniformity of plaintext bits needs to be redistributed across much larger structures in the ciphertext, making that non-uniformity much harder to detect.
More generally, one may require that flipping a fixed set of bits should change each output bit with probability one half.
One aim of confusion is to make it very hard to find the key even if one has a large number of plaintext-ciphertext pairs produced with the same key.
Therefore, each bit of the ciphertext should depend on the entire key, and in different ways on different bits of the key.
In these systems, the plaintext and the key often have a very similar role in producing the output, hence the same mechanism ensures both diffusion and confusion.
Confusion means that the process drastically changes data from the input to the output, for example, by translating the data through a non-linear table created from the key.
We have lots of ways to reverse linear calculations, so the more non-linear it is the more analysis tools it breaks.
Good diffusion scatters those patterns widely through the output, and if there are several patterns making it through they scramble each other.
Its diffusion stage spreads every part of the input to every part of the output: changing one bit of input changes half the output bits on average.
The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Men's Basketball National Championship has been held annually since 1937 (with the exception of 1944).
The NAIA Tournament features thirty-two teams, and the entire tournament is contested at one location in one week, rather than multiple locations over a series of weekends.
The Division I tournament is played in Kansas City, Missouri, while the Division II tournament is held at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
It has been held in Kansas City every year since the tournament began except from 1994-2001 when it was played in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The first two rounds will be played at 16 separate sites, with only the 16 winners at these sites advancing to Kansas City.
In 1948 the NAIA became the first national organization to open their intercollegiate postseason to black student-athletes, due primarily to the influence of Indiana State coach John Wooden.
In 1957, Tennessee State would become the first historically black college to win a national championship, and the first team to win three consecutive tournaments.
NAIA Division II Men's Basketball National Championship was most recently held at Keeter Gymnasium on the campus of College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Missouri near Branson, but moved in 2018 response to the College of the Ozarks's stance on the 2016 national anthem protests at athletic events.
The NAIA announced in April 2018 that it would discontinue its Division II basketball championships for both men and women after the 2019–20 season.
Knightswood is a suburban district in Glasgow, containing three areas: Knightswood North or High Knightswood, Knightswood South or Low Knightswood, and Knightswood Park.
Knightswood is directly adjoined by the Anniesland, Blairdardie, Drumchapel, Garscadden, Jordanhill, Netherton, Scotstoun, Scotstounhill and Yoker areas of Glasgow, and by Bearsden in the north.
Knightswood was a rural area of Dunbartonshire in the parish of New Kilpatrick with small-scale mining until the land was purchased for housing by the city of Glasgow and was annexed by the city in the 1920s.
In subsequent years, housing developments were built on most of the remaining free plots (including two clusters of tower blocks - eleven in total, two since demolished), but the area remains largely green in line with garden suburb principles, with the only businesses based in small or medium-sized retail units.
Knightswood features on maps by Ordnance Survey cartographer William Roy dating back to 1748-55, which show it lying within the parish of New Kilpatrick in Dumbartonshire.
The modern area is defined at its northern edge by the Forth and Clyde Canal (beyond which is Bearsden) which began construction in the 1760s and opened as the Great Canal in 1790.
Both of these settlements (with Jordanhill and Scotstoun) appear on Joan Blaeu's 1662 Atlas of Scotland, but Knightswood is not shown, either omitted or not yet of significance.
The earliest recorded settlement (1740) in the Knightswood area was known as the Red Town, a small village supporting ironstone miners and brickmakers.
Just before the First World War, Knightswood consisted of an Infectious Diseases Hospital (founded 1877) with a line of terraced cottages to the north called Knightswood Rows, a few houses on the site of Knightswood Secondary School (all that remained of Red Town), but the area was otherwise unpopulated farmland and disused mineworkings.
Much of the housing in the area was constructed in three phases during the 1920s and 1930s on garden suburb principles.
This housing was mainly of cottage flat and semi-detached types, and is similar to other parts of the city such as Mosspark in the South Side and Carntyne in the East End and used for the relocation of people from slum tenements cleared near the city centre.
Land surrounding the junction of Great Western Road and Knightswood Road was designated for the use of several church denominations, and the nearby Knightswood Park, but there were no designated industrial areas or public houses, which remained in adjacent Temple and Scotstoun/Yoker.
In 1926, the district was brought under the control of the city of Glasgow, which had purchased land outside its boundary from the Summerlee Iron Company for the building of the estate.
Knightswood, along with Jordanhill and Temple have been linked to stories of the Knights Templar; but according to the late Lord Lyon King of Arms there is no evidence for their presence in this area.
Knightswood Hospital gradually lost services to other Glasgow Hospitals from the 1960s onwards, ending up as a Geriatric Unit and finally closing in March 2000.
In 2008, Knightswood gained a new church congregation at Knightswood Cross when the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing) moved from temporary premises in Thornwood to the former Brethren Gospel Hall.
In the 2010s, concerns were raised that some of the land of Knightswood was liable to flooding in times of extreme rainfall, which had been increasingly common in recent times and was considered likely to continue; in 2019, plans were outlined to have prevention measures put in place.
The first event on 12 July 2008 was supported by Glasgow City Council, Strathclyde Fire Brigade, local churches (St David's Church of Scotland and Knightswood Baptist Church) and local clubs.
There were demonstrations of falconry and sheepdog trials (herding Indian Runner Ducks due to space restrictions), live music, live entertainment, bouncy castles, stalls promoting community groups and clubs, Baptist church and fire brigade (as 2008).
In 2010 and 2011, Trinley Brae Allotments took part in the Open Gates event as part of Glasgow's Doors Open Day.
This has developed links with the local community and other community events have taken place since the first event in September 2010.
Members are currently researching the history of the allotment site and have the worked with the city council on other community events.
Trinley Brae Allotments (between Knightswood Road and Turret Crescent) provide space for local residents to grow their own fruit, vegetables and flowers.
Children's & Youth Clubs are operated locally for school age children on Thursdays in the south of the area at the Congregational church and Fridays in the North at the Baptist Church.
In 1928, the name of the commune officially became Rueil-Malmaison in reference to its most famous tourist attraction, the Château de Malmaison, home of Napoléon's first wife Joséphine de Beauharnais.
In the Early Middle Ages Malmaison was the site of a royal residence which was destroyed by the Vikings in 846.
Upon her death in 1814, she was buried at the nearby Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul church, which stands at the centre of the city.
The Guard was formed by Louis XIII in 1616 and massacred at the Tuileries on 10 August 1792 during the French Revolution.
At the end of the 19th century, Impressionist painters like Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Édouard Manet and Claude Monet came to paint the Seine River which crosses the town.
The city has also become home to many large companies moving out of La Défense business district, located only from Rueil, a trend first established by the move of Esso headquarters to Rueil.
Originally codebooks were often literally books, but today codebook is a byword for the complete record of a series of codes, regardless of physical format.
A codebook contains a lookup table for coding and decoding; each word or phrase has one or more strings which replace it.
The distribution and physical security of codebooks presents a special difficulty in the use of codes, compared to the secret information used in ciphers, the key, which is typically much shorter.
The book used in a book cipher or the book used in a running key cipher can be any book shared by sender and receiver is different from a cryptographic codebook.
For example the 29 letter Swedish alphabet begins with the basic 26 Latin letters and ends with these three letters, 'Å', 'Ä', and 'Ö'.
The character Ů (ů; a Latin U with overring, or kroužek in Czech Republic) is a grapheme in the Czech language preserved for historic reasons, which identifies a vowel shift.
The pronunciation has prevailed in some Moravian dialects, as well as in the Slovak language, which uses the letter ô instead of ů.
ů has been used in Old Lithuanian in Lithuania Minor from the 16th till the beginning of the 20th century and for a shorter time in 16th-century Lithuania Major for diphthong .
Ring upon e (e̊) is used by certain dialectologists of the Walloon language (especially ) to note the vowel typically replacing and in the Brabant province central Walloon dialects.
Many more characters can be created in Unicode using the , including the above-mentioned у̊ (Cyrillic у with overring) or ń̊ (n with acute and overring).
The underring is used in IPA to indicate voicelessness, and in Indo-European studies or in Sanskrit transliteration (IAST) to indicate syllabicity of r, l, m, n etc.
R with ring below, L with ring below, R with ring below and macron, and L with ring below and macron were actually proposed for Unicode because of their use in Sanskrit transliteration and the CSX+ Indic character set.
The ring as a diacritic mark should not be confused with the dot or diacritic marks, or with the degree sign °.
Payne then worked as a financial manager and chief disbursing officer for the Maine & New Hampshire Theaters Company, which operated 132 movie theaters in New England.
He resigned in 1942 in order to serve with the U.S. Air Force during World War II, reaching the rank of a lieutenant colonel.
In 1948, Payne was elected the 60th Governor of Maine after defeating his Democratic opponent, Biddeford mayor Louis Lausier, by a margin of 66%-34%.
During his tenure, he created a two-percent sales tax, expanded the Maine Development Commission, and began a long-range highway modernization program financed by a $27 million bond issue.
A wine bottler claimed he paid $12,000 to a Boston promotion man for the latter's supposed influence with Payne and the state liquor chairman.
He defeated incumbent Senator Owen Brewster in the Republican primary, and went on to defeat Democrat Roger P. Dube in the general election.
During the late 1950s, after a series of lurid magazine articles and Hollywood films helped to sensationalize youth gangs and violence, Payne supported legislation to ban automatic-opening or switchblade knives.
Senator Payne and other congressmen supporting the Switchblade Knife Act believed that by stopping the importation and interstate sales of automatic knives (effectively halting sales of new switchblades), the law would reduce youth gang violence by blocking access to what had become a symbolic weapon.
However, while switchblade imports, domestic production, and sales to lawful owners soon ended, later legislative research demonstrated that youth gang violence rates had in fact rapidly increased, as gang members turned to firearms instead of knives.
As a young man, in 1243 he was taken into the Teutonic Order custody as a hostage, part of the ceasefire agreement between his father and the Order, but the Order did not keep their part of this agreement and failed to return Mestwin II who was held by them until 1248 (for some time in the Order castle in Austria) when finally released.
Most likely upon returning from Teutonic Order captivity his father made Mestwin II the Duke of Świecie (Schwetz) province circa 1250, and upon his father's death he began his challenge against his younger brother for Gdańsk (Danzig) in 1266, starting the so-called Pomerelian Civil War that lasted until 1273.
He fought his younger brother and uncles until he emerged victorious and finally became the principal Pomerelia prince and sole ruler in 1273.
He united all the lands of Pomerelia (after the death of his uncles, Sambor II, prince of Lubiszewo (Lübschau) and Racibor Białogardzki, prince of Białogarda.
In 1269, while searching for allies, Mestwin II entered into an alliance with expanding at the cost of Slavic lands and ever aggressive Brandenburg margraves, Treaty of Choszczno, and most likely in return for military and financial help he gave oath of fealty and paid homage over a couple Pomeralian towns (Świecie and Białogard) to these dukes.
Mestwin's brother Wratislaw II of Pomerania, principal Pomerelian duke and ruler of Gdańsk (Danzig), was forced out of his duchy by Mestwin II and most likely his new ally in 1271.
This action resulted in Wratislaw II and Sambor II military action against Mestwin II, and his own knights and nobles rebelled against him.
Surrounded by adversity and even taken prisoner (for a short time in 1270) Mestwin II gave the possession of Gdansk to the Brandenburg duke Conrad who was holding the city of Gdansk until Mestwin II forced them to resign from their possession of the city by use of force in 1273, having been strengthened by new alliance with his maternal cousin Bolesław Pobożny, the duke of Great Poland.
Defeated Wartislaw II found refuge with Ziemomysł of Kuyavia, the duke of Inowrocław and sought assistance from the Order, but he died unexpectedly in Wyszogród in 1271.
The remaining male relatives of Mestwin II, his uncles Sambor II and Racibor, allied with the Order and various Piast princes, lost their possession within the Pomerelia due to Mestwin II actions against them, and also sought refuge with the Order and their daughters in Kujawy (Sambor) and Śląsk (Racibor).
As a result of the Order actions he was forced to give his castles and villages on the right bank of Vistula to them, and also the important left bank Pomerelian stronghold of Gniew, willed to the Order by his uncle Sambor II, a claim Mestwin II recognized under duress and Papal mediation in 1282.
Mestwin II and Przemysl II, new duke of Greater Poland and future king of Poland, concluded the Treaty of Kępno in 1282 that was at first kept secret.
The treaty, confirmed by magnates and nobles of both duchies, made both Mestwin and Przemysł II either a successor per donatio inter vivos or successor in all his possessions.
It seems that the treaty of Kępno in fact unified Pomerelia and Greater Poland, starting the long process of reunification of Polish principalities by the Piast dynasts.
During the life of Mestwin II nobles and magnates of Greater Poland received grants and appointments to Pomerelian offices and estates.
In 1287 both princes entered into another successor treaty in Słupsk, and there they included in their succession treaty another Western Slavic prince, Bogusław IV of Szczecin (Bogislaw IV, Duke of Pomerania).
These treaties resulted directly from aggressive policies of March of Brandenburg and the Teutonic Order against the territories of these Slavic duchies and provinces.
First came princess Judith, daughter of Ditrich I duke of Brenna i Wettin, who died before 1275, then he married Piast princess Euphrosyne of Opole circa 1275 and they divorced in 1288, and finally married rather unknown Sulisława who died in 1292.
His own sarcophagus did not survive, most likely having been destroyed when the army of Gdańsk burned down the abbey during their rebellious war against king Stephen Báthory in 1577.
However, the cumulative sepulcher of the Samboride dynasty still remains, founded in 1615 by one of the Oliwa abbots, Dawid Konarski.
It consists of 91 hexagonal mirror segments each with a 1-metre inscribed diameter, resulting in a total hexagonal mirror of 11.1 m by 9.8 m. It is located close to the town of Sutherland in the semi-desert region of the Karoo, South Africa.
It is closely based on the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) at McDonald Observatory, with some changes in its design, especially to the spherical aberration corrector.
First light with the full mirror was declared on 1 September 2005, with 1 arc second resolution images of globular cluster 47 Tucanae, open cluster NGC 6152, spiral galaxy NGC 6744, and the Lagoon Nebula being obtained.
South Africa contributed about a third of the total of US$36 million that will finance SALT for its first 10 years (US$20 million for the construction of the telescope, US$6 million for instruments, US$10 million for operations).
SALT is located on a hilltop 1837m above sea level in a nature reserve in the Hantam, Karroo north-east of Cape Town, near the small town of Sutherland.
SALT will probe quasars and enable scientists to view stars and galaxies a billion times too faint to be seen by the naked eye.
Similar to the Keck Telescopes, the primary mirror is composed of an array of mirrors designed to act as a single larger mirror; however, the SALT mirrors produce a spherical primary, rather than the paraboloid shape associated with a classical Cassegrain telescope.
Each SALT mirror is a 1-meter hexagon, and the array of 91 identical mirrors produces a hexagonal-shaped primary 11 x 9.8 meters in size.
To compensate for the spherical primary, the telescope has a four-mirror spherical aberration corrector (SAC) that provides a corrected, flat focal plane with a field of view of 8 arcminutes at prime focus.
Each of the 91 mirrors is made of low-expansion Sitall glass and can be adjusted in tip, tilt and piston in order to properly align them so as to act as a single mirror.
Because the mirror is spherical, light emitted from a position corresponding to the center of curvature of the mirror will be reflected and refocused to the same position.
Therefore, the telescope employs a Center of Curvature Alignment Sensor (CCAS) situated at the top of a tall tower adjacent to the dome.
Although this results in only a limited observing window per target, it greatly simplifies the primary mirror mount, when compared to a fully steerable telescope, transferring the complexity to the smaller and lighter payload tracking system, providing for an overall reduction in total telescope construction cost.
SALT has a fixed zenith angle of 37 degrees, optimised for the Magellanic clouds, but because of the full range of azimuths and the celestial rotation, SALT has access to a good fraction of the sky available at the Sutherland site.
The first generation instrumentation for SALT includes the SALT Imaging Camera (SALTICAM), designed and built by the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO); the Robert Stobie Spectrograph (RSS) (née Prime Focus Imaging Spectrograph), a multi-purpose long-slit and multi-object imaging spectrograph and spectropolarimeter, designed and built by the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Rutgers University, and the SAAO; and a fiber-fed High Resolution Spectrograph (HRS), designed by the University of Canterbury (New Zealand).
The telescope is connected to the SAAO site in Cape Town via a 1 Gbit/s fibre connection over the SANREN network.
The SAAO has a 1 Gbit/s connection to the SANREN network with 30 Mbit/s of that link being the international portion.

As a result, astronomers can study rapidly changing properties of compact stars, primarily as they pull in gas from their companion stars or surroundings.
The gravitational field of a compact star commonly pulls in gas from a companion star, thus radiation (especially X-ray) is emitted.
Studies using SALT concluded that these polar binary star systems take only an hour and a half to complete an orbit.
More research using SALT has aided astronomers to investigate the structure and evolution of our galaxy, such as quasars, Magellanic clouds, the galactic structure and stellar astrophysics.
This also marked the debut of the fully operating SALTICAM, which is a $600,000 digital camera designed and built for SALT.
First light with the full mirror was declared on 1 September 2005 with 1 arc second resolution images of globular cluster 47 Tucanae, open cluster NGC 6152, spiral galaxy NGC 6744, and the Lagoon Nebula being obtained.
Despite initial estimates by SAAO that SALT would bring up to 30,000 tourists to Sutherland, the telescope has so far only resulted in about 14,000 annual visitors, which has nevertheless resulted in the creation of at least 300 jobs in the town of 5,000.
Measuring about 108–167 kilometres in diameter, it was discovered in 1992 by David C. Jewitt and Jane X. Luu at the Mauna Kea Observatory, Hawaii.
As of January 2018, over 2,400 further objects have been found beyond Neptune, a majority of which are classical Kuiper belt objects.
The next year in 1993, objects in similar orbits were found including (15788) 1993 SB, (15789) 1993 SC, (181708) 1993 FW, and (385185) 1993 RO.
Over one thousand bodies were found the Kuiper belt between orbiting between about 30-50 AU from the Sun in the twenty years (1992-2012), after finding 1992 QB1 (named in 2018, 15760 Albion), showing a vast belt of bodies more than just Pluto and Albion.
In most insects, the mushroom bodies and the lateral horn are the two higher brain regions that receive olfactory information from the antennal lobe via projection neurons.
Studies of fruit fly mushroom bodies have been particularly important for understanding the genetic basis of mushroom body functioning, since their genome has been sequenced and a vast number of tools to manipulate their gene expression exist.
They are mainly composed of the long, densely packed nerve fibres of the Kenyon cells, the intrinsic neurons of the mushroom bodies.
These cells have been found in the mushroom bodies of all species that have been investigated, though their number varies; for example fruit flies have around 2,500 whereas cockroaches have about 200,000.
In Hymenoptera in particular, subregions of the mushroom body neuropil are specialized to receive olfactory, visual, or both types of sensory input.
In ants, several layers can be discriminated that correspond to different clusters of glomeruli in the antennal lobes, perhaps corresponding to different classes of odors.
There are two main groups of projection neurons that divide the antennal lobe into two main regions, an anterior and a posterior.
Projection neuron groups are segregated innervating glomeruli groups separately and sending axons by separate routes, either through the medial-antenno protocerebral tract (m-APT) or through the lateral-anteno protocerebral tract (l-APT), and connecting with two layers in the calyx of the mushroom bodies.
In these layers is represented topographically the organization of the two efferent regions of the antennal lobe, establishing a coarse odotopic map of the antennal lobe in the region of the lip of the mushroom bodies.
Mushroom bodies are known to be involved in learning and memory, particularly for smell, and thus are the subject of current intense research.
In larger insects, studies suggest that mushroom bodies have other learning and memory functions, like associative memory, sensory filtering, motor control, and place memory.
Research implies that mushroom bodies generally act as a sort of coincidence detector, integrating multimodal inputs and creating novel associations, thus illuminating their role in learning and memory.
Information about odors may be encoded in the mushroom body by the identities of the responsive neurons as well as the timing of their spikes.
Experiments in locusts have shown that Kenyon cells have their activity synchronized to 20-Hz neural oscillations and are particularly responsive to projection neuron spikes at specific phases of the oscillatory cycle.
The mushroom body is also able to combine information from the internal state of the body and the olfactory input to determine innate behavior.
There are three specific classes of neurons that make up the mushroom body lobes: α/β, α’/β’, and γ neurons, which all have distinct gene expression.
A topic of current research is which of these substructures in the mushroom body are involved in each phase and process of learning and memory.
Typically, olfactory learning assays consist of exposing flies to two odors separately; one is paired with electric shock pulses (the conditioned stimulus, or CS+), and the second is not (unconditioned stimulus, or US).
After this training period, flies are placed in a T-maze with the two odors placed individually on either end of the horizontal ‘T’ arms.
Immediately after conditioning, an additional set of projection neurons in a set of eight glomeruli in the AL becomes synaptically activated by the conditioned odor, and lasts for only 7 minutes.
A second trace is detectable by GCaMP expression, and thus an increase in Ca influx, in the α’/β’ axons of the mushroom body neurons.
The third memory trace is the reduction of activity of the anterior-paired lateral neuron, which acts as a memory formation suppressor through one of its inhibitory GABAergic receptors.
Decrease in calcium response of APL neurons and subsequent decrease in GABA release onto the mushroom bodies persisted up to 5 minutes after odor conditioning.
An increase in calcium influx and synaptic release that innervates the mushroom bodies becomes detectable approximately 30 minutes after pairing of electric shock with an odor, and persists for at least an hour.
Both long-term memory traces that have been mapped depend on activity and protein synthesis of CREB and CaMKII, and only exist after spaced conditioning.
The first trace is detected in α/β neurons between 9 and 24 hours after conditioning, and is characterized by an increase in calcium influx in response to the conditioned odor.
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP or cyclic AMP) is a second messenger that has been implicated in facilitating mushroom body calcium influx in Drosophila melanogaster mushroom body neurons.
Dopamine and octopamine are released by mushroom body interneurons, while odors directly activate neurons in the olfactory pathway, causing calcium influx through voltage-gated calcium channels.
In a classical conditioning paradigm, pairing neuronal depolarization (via acetylcholine application to represent the odor or CS) with subsequent dopamine application (to represent the shock or US), results in a synergistic increase in cAMP in the mushroom body lobes.
This synergistic effect was originally observed in Aplysia, where pairing calcium influx with activation of G protein signaling by serotonin generates a similar synergistic increase in cAMP.
Additionally, this synergistic increase in cAMP is mediated by and dependent on rutabaga adenylyl cyclase (rut AC), which is sensitive to both calcium (which results from voltage-gated calcium channel opening by odors) and G protein stimulation (caused by dopamine).
While a forward pairing of neuronal depolarization and dopamine, (acetylcholine followed by dopamine) results in a synergistic increase in cAMP, a forward pairing of neuronal depolarization and octopamine produces a sub-additive effect on cAMP.
More specifically, this means that this pairing produces significantly less cAMP than the sum of each stimulus individually in the lobes.
Therefore, rut AC in mushroom body neurons works as a coincidence detector with dopamine and octopamine functioning bidirectionally to affect cAMP levels.
Acetylcholine, which represents the conditioned stimulus, leads to a strong increase in PKA activation compared to stimulation with dopamine or octopamine alone.
The specificity of activation of the alpha lobe in the presence of dopamine is maintained when dopamine is in combination with acetylcholine.
He holds the record for most wins in league history, with 1,248 wins in the regular season and 223 in the Stanley Cup playoffs and ranks 2nd all time (behind Jean Béliveau's seventeen) for most Stanley Cup victories by a player, coach or executive with fourteen.
He is currently the Senior Advisor of Hockey Operations for the Chicago Blackhawks (his son, Stan, is the team's general manager).
As head coach, Bowman has won a record nine Stanley Cup championships; five with the Canadiens (1973, 1976, 1977, 1978, and 1979), one with the Penguins (1992) and three with the Red Wings (1997, 1998, and 2002).
He was director of player development for the 1991 Penguins, Consultant with the 2008 Detroit Red Wings, and Senior Advisor of Hockey Operations for the 2010, 2013, and 2015 Chicago Blackhawks.
His teams also made it to the Stanley Cup Finals a record 13 times and the semi-finals a record 16 times.
Soon thereafter, he moved into a coaching job with the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League (OHA), the Montreal Canadiens' junior farm team.
Bowman moved into the NHL in 1967 when he joined the expansion St. Louis Blues as an assistant coach under general manager/coach Lynn Patrick.
Bowman remained in St. Louis until the end of the 1970–71 season, but left due to a dispute with team ownership.
Though the Canadiens were the defending champions, Al MacNeil had been sacked as head coach due to accusations of favoritism toward the team's anglophone players.
The Canadiens would make the playoffs over the next two seasons but lost in the first and third rounds, as the rival Philadelphia Flyers won the Stanley Cup.
From 1976 to 1979, Bowman won four consecutive Stanley Cups with a talented Canadiens squad that included Guy Lafleur, Steve Shutt, Larry Robinson and Ken Dryden.
The reason for the falling-out was the team's decision to pass him over as the new General Manager of the club in 1978 after Sam Pollock's retirement, as they hired Irving Grundman instead.
Bowman and General Manager Sam Pollock not only presided over a Canadiens dynasty, but many of their players went on to have successful coaching and managing roles with their own teams.
While the Sabres remained competitive for much of his tenure, he was unable to build them into anything approaching the powerhouses he'd coached in Montreal.
He became the Director of Player Personnel of the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1990 and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1991 as a builder.
In the summer, Bob Johnson, who had just won the Stanley Cup with the Penguins, was diagnosed with brain cancer and Bowman took over as head coach.
In the playoffs, the Penguins were upset in seven games in the Patrick Division finals by the New York Islanders coached by Al Arbour, a former Bowman player with the Blues.
However, he indicated that he was not interested in their initial offer, which was not disclosed to the public, so they rescinded it.
In 1993–94, Bowman became coach of the Red Wings, and led them to a first-place finish in the Western Conference, but his Red Wings were ousted in the first round by the young San Jose Sharks.
According to an apocryphal story, Bowman had difficulty in the maze-like tunnels of the San Jose Arena, eventually having to be rescued after getting lost and twice locking himself into rooms.
In 1995, the Red Wings made it to the Stanley Cup Finals, their first finals appearance in 29 years, but were swept by the New Jersey Devils in four straight.
In the 1997 playoffs, Bowman led the team to its first Stanley Cup in 42 years by sweeping the Philadelphia Flyers 4–0.
In 1999 and 2000, they lost to the Colorado Avalanche in the Western Semi-Finals, and in 2001 they were eliminated by the Los Angeles Kings in the first round.
Bowman decided in February 2002 that he would retire at the end of the season and he went out as a winner as his Red Wings won the Stanley Cup by defeating the Carolina Hurricanes 4 games to 1.
During the presentation of the Cup on the ice, Bowman put on an old pair of skates so he could take a lap with the Cup.
In the 1976 Canada Cup his team won gold over Czechoslovakia and silver in the 1981 Canada Cup against the Soviet Union.
In July 2008, he took a position as senior advisor of hockey operations for the Chicago Blackhawks to work alongside his son Stan Bowman, who is the general manager.
The Blackhawks' Stanley Cup victory in 2010 gave Bowman his 12th Stanley Cup including coaching and team management, and the Blackhawks' 2013, and 2015 Stanley Cup victories were Bowman's 13th and 14th respectively.
On February 8, 2017, it was announced that Bowman would receive Order of Hockey in Canada award in a ceremony on June 19.
As of January 2018 Bowman is living in Sarasota, Florida, attending all of the Tampa Bay Lightning home games in his role as the Senior Advisor of Hockey Operations for the Chicago Blackhawks, managed by his son Stan Bowman.
He was born in Zaragoza, Spain in 1240 and is assumed to have died sometime after 1291, following a stay on the small and windswept island of Comino, the smallest of the three inhabited islands that make up the Maltese archipelago.
Very early in life he was taken by his parents to Tudela, Navarre, where his aged father Samuel Abulafia instructed him in the Hebrew Bible and Talmud.
In 1258, when Abraham was eighteen years old, his father died, and two years later Abraham began a life of ceaseless wandering.
His first journey in 1260 was to the Land of Israel, where he intended to begin a search for the legendary river Sambation and the Ten Lost Tribes.
He got no further than 'Akko, however, because of the desolation and lawlessness in the Holy Land stemming from the chaos following the last Crusades; the war that year between the Mongol Empire and the Mamluk Sultanate forced his return to Europe, via Greece.
Although he always held Maimonides in the highest esteem, and often made use of sentences from his writings, he was as little satisfied with his philosophy as with any other branch of knowledge which he acquired.
He wrote industriously on Kabbalistic, philosophical, and grammatical subjects, and succeeded in surrounding himself with numerous pupils, to whom he imparted much of his own enthusiasm.
On his return to Spain he became subject to visions, and at the age of thirty-one, at Barcelona, began to study a particular kind of Kabbalah whose most important representative was Barukh Togarmi, and received a revelation with messianic overtones.
This book, and particularly the commentary and method of the German Jewish mystic, Eleazar of Worms, exercised a deep influence upon him, and had the effect of greatly increasing his mystical bent.
Letters of the alphabet, numerals, vowel-points, all became symbols of existence to him, and their combinations and permutations, supplementing and explaining one another, possessed for him an illumining power most effectively to be disclosed in a deeper study of the divine names, and especially of the consonants of the Tetragrammaton.
He soon left for Castile, where he disseminated his prophetic Kabbalah among figures like R. Moses of Burgos and his most important disciple, Joseph ben Abraham Gikatilla.
He went to Rome in 1280 in order to convert Pope Nicholas III to Judaism on the day before Rosh Hashanah.
The stake was erected in preparation close to the inner gate; but Abulafia set out for Suriano all the same and reached there August 22.
While passing through the outer gate, he heard that the Pope had died from an apoplectic stroke during the preceding night.
He returned to Rome, where he was thrown into prison by the Order of Friars Minor but was liberated after four weeks' detention.
The local Jewish congregation in Palermo energetically condemned Abulafia's conduct, and around 1285 they addressed the issue to Shlomo ben Aderet of Barcelona, who devoted much of his career to calming the various messianic hysteriae of the day.
Abulafia’s literary activity spans the years 1271–1291 and consists of several books, treatises on grammar, and poems, but amongst which only thirty survive.
The spiritualized understanding of the concepts of messianism and redemption as an intellectual development represents a major contribution of the messianic ideas in Judaism.
As part of his messianic propensity, Abulafia become an intense disseminator of his Kabbalah, orally and in written form, trying to convince both Jews and Christians.
In his later writings, the founder of prophetic Kabbalah produces a synthesis between Maimonides' Neoaristotelian understanding of prophecy as the result of the transformation of the intellectual influx into a linguistic message and techniques to reach such experiences by means of combinations of letters and their pronunciation, breathing exercises, contemplation of parts of the body, movements of the head and hands, and concentration exercises.
Much less concerned with the theosophy of his contemporary kabbalists, who were interested in theories of ten hypostatic sefirot, some of which he described as worse than the Christian belief in the trinity, Abulafia depicted the supernal realm, especially the cosmic Agent Intellect, in linguistic terms, as speech and letters.
Abulafia developed a sophisticated theory of language, which assumes that Hebrew represents not so much the language as written or spoken as the principles of all languages, namely the ideal sounds and the combinations between them.
Abulafia's Kabbalah inspired a series of writings which can be described as part of his prophetic Kabbalah, namely, as striving to attain extreme forms of mystical experiences.
Extant in many manuscripts, Abulafia's writings were not printed by kabbalists, most of whom banned his brand of Kabbalah, and only by chance introduced in their writings a few short and anonymous fragments.
Adolf Jellinek refuted this attribution and compiled the first comprehensive list of Abulafia's writings, publishing three of Abulafia's shorter treatises (two epistles, printed in 1853/4, and Sefer ha-Ot in 1887), while Amnon Gross published 13 volumes, which include most of Abulafia's books and those of his students' books (Jerusalem, 1999–2004).
Major contributions to the analysis of Abulafia's thought and that of his school have been made by Gershom Scholem, Chaim Wirszubski, Moshe Idel, and Elliot R. Wolfson.
Some of Abulafia's treatises were translated into Latin and Italian in the circle of Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, mostly by Flavius Mithridates, and Pico’s vision of Kabbalah was significantly influenced by his views.
In his numerous works Abulafia focuses on complex devices for uniting with the Agent Intellect, or God, through the recitation of divine names, together with breathing techniques and cathartic practices.
Taking as his framework the metaphysical and psychological system of Moses Maimonides (1135/8–1204), Abulafia strove for spiritual experience, which he viewed as a prophetic state similar to or even identical with that of the ancient Jewish prophets.
His intention is not to relax the consciousness by meditation, but to purify it via a high level of concentration which requires doing many actions at the same time.
The first is an experience of body-photism or illumination, in which light not only surrounds the body but also diffuses into it, giving impression that the body and its organs have become light.
As the ecstatic Kabbalist continues to practice, combining letters and performing physiological maneuvers, the result is the second experience: weakening of the body, in an ‘absorptive’ manner.
This feeling is a result of sensing another ‘spirit’ within his body, as he describes in Otzar Eden Ganuz: ‘And you shall feel another spirit awakening within yourself and strengthening you and passing over your entire body and giving you pleasure’ (Oxford Ms. 1580 fols.
Only after passing these successive experiences does the mystic reach his goal: the vision of a human form, which is closely linked to his own physical appearance and generally experienced as standing in front of the mystic.
As the dialog between the mystic and the ‘form’ proceeds, the reader understands that the ‘form’ is the image of the mystic himself.
And when the man had seen my great fear and my strong awe, he opened his mouth and he spoke, and he opened my mouth to speak, and I answered him according to his words, and in my words I became another man (pp.
Abulafia's subterranean influence is evident in the large number of manuscripts of his major meditation manuals that flourished down to the present day until all his works were finally published in Mea Shearim in Jerusalem during the 1990s.
Abulafia’s prophetic and messianic pretensions prompted a sharp reaction on the part of Shelomoh ben Avraham Adret, a famous legal authority who succeeded in annihilating the influence of Abulafia’s ecstatic Kabbalah in Spain.
Clear traces of Abulafian doctrine are evident in the works of Isaac ben Samuel of Acre, Yehudah Albotini and Hayyim ben Joseph Vital.
In Israel, Abulafia’s ideas were combined with Sufi elements, apparently stemming from the school of Ibn Arabi; thus Sufi views were introduced into European Kabbalah.
After the expulsion of the Jews from Spain, Spanish theurgical Kabbalah, which had developed without any significant impact from ecstatic Kabbalah, was integrated with the latter; this combination became, through the book Pardes Rimmonim by Mosheh Cordovero, part of mainstream Kabbalah.
Hayyim Vital brought Abulafian views into the fourth unpublished part of his Shaarei Kedushah, and the eighteenth-century qabalists of the Beit El Academy in Jerusalem perused Abulafia’s mystical manuals.
The influence of ecstatic Kabbalah is to be seen in isolated groups today, and traces of it can be found in modern literature (e.g., the poetry of Yvan Goll), mainly since the publication of Gershom Scholem’s researches.
Aeolian or Eolian refers to things related to Aeolus, the Greek God of wind and patriarch of the Greeks of Aeolia.
Polymer degradation is a change in the properties—tensile strength, color, shape, etc.—of a polymer or polymer-based product under the influence of one or more environmental factors such as heat, light or chemicals such as acids, alkalis and some salts.
These changes are usually undesirable, such as cracking and chemical disintegration of products or, more rarely, desirable, as in biodegradation, or deliberately lowering the molecular weight of a polymer for recycling.
Polymeric molecules are very large (on the molecular scale), and their unique and useful properties are mainly a result of their size.
Today there are primarily seven commodity polymers in use: polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate (PET, PETE), polystyrene, polycarbonate, and poly(methyl methacrylate) (Plexiglas).
Polyethylene, polypropylene, and poly(methyl methacrylate) are sensitive to oxidation and UV radiation, while PVC may discolor at high temperatures due to loss of hydrogen chloride gas, and become very brittle.
When this polymer is heated above 450 Celsius it becomes a complex mixture of molecules of various sizes that resemble gasoline.
Other polymers—like polyalphamethylstyrene—undergo 'specific' chain scission with breakage occurring only at the ends; they literally unzip or depolymerize to become the constituent monomers.
Electromagnetic waves with the energy of visible light or higher, such as ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays are usually involved in such reactions.
Step-growth polymers like polyesters, polyamides and polycarbonates can be degraded by solvolysis and mainly hydrolysis to give lower molecular weight molecules.
For example, the fracture surface of a fuel connector showed the progressive growth of the crack from acid attack (Ch) to the final cusp (C) of polymer.
Tiny traces of the gas in the air will attack double bonds in rubber chains, with Natural rubber, polybutadiene, Styrene-butadiene rubber and NBR being most sensitive to degradation.
The cracks are always oriented at right angles to the strain axis, so will form around the circumference in a rubber tube bent over.
Such cracks are dangerous when they occur in fuel pipes because the cracks will grow from the outside exposed surfaces into the bore of the pipe, and fuel leakage and fire may follow.
Many process methods such as extrusion and injection moulding involve pumping molten polymer into tools, and the high temperatures needed for melting may result in oxidation unless precautions are taken.
The crutch had fractured across a polypropylene insert within the aluminium tube of the device, and infra-red spectroscopy of the material showed that it had oxidized, possible as a result of poor moulding.
Oxidation is usually relatively easy to detect owing to the strong absorption by the carbonyl group in the spectrum of polyolefins.
Oxidation tends to start at tertiary carbon atoms because the free radicals formed here are more stable and longer lasting, making them more susceptible to attack by oxygen.
The carbonyl group can be further oxidised to break the chain, this weakens the material by lowering its molecular weight, and cracks start to grow in the regions affected.
In the aerospace field, this finding has largely contributed to aircraft safety, mainly those aircraft that use CFRP and has resulted in a wide body of follow-up research and patents.
Normally, when two dissimilar metals such as copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) are put into contact and then immersed in salt water, the iron will undergo corrosion, or rust.
This is called a galvanic circuit where the copper is the noble metal and the iron is the active metal, i.e., the copper is the positive (+) electrode and the iron is the negative (-) electrode.
It follows that plastics are made stronger by impregnating them with thin carbon fibers only a few micrometers in diameter known as carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP).
However, in early 1990, it was reported that imide-linked resins in CFRP composites degrade when bare composite is coupled with an active metal in salt water environments.
This is because corrosion not only occurs at the aluminum anode, but also at the carbon fiber cathode in the form of a very strong base with a pH of about 13.
There have been many examples of such pipes and acetal fittings failing in properties in the US as a result of chlorine-induced cracking.
In essence, the gas attacks sensitive parts of the chain molecules (especially secondary, tertiary, or allylic carbon atoms), oxidizing the chains and ultimately causing chain cleavage.
The root cause is traces of chlorine in the water supply, added for its anti-bacterial action, attack occurring even at parts per million traces of the dissolved gas.
The chlorine attacks weak parts of a product, and in the case of an acetal resin junction in a water supply system, it is the thread roots that were attacked first, causing a brittle crack to grow.
Discoloration on the fracture surface was caused by deposition of carbonates from the hard water supply, so the joint had been in a critical state for many months.
The problems in the US also occurred to polybutylene pipework, and led to the material being removed from that market, although it is still used elsewhere in the world.
To degrade properly biodegradable polymers need to be treated like compost and not just left in a landfill site where degradation is very difficult due to the lack of oxygen and moisture.
Hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) stabilize against weathering by scavenging free radicals that are produced by photo-oxidation of the polymer matrix.
Under his leadership, the company became one of the world's largest suppliers of sensors for aeronautic, automotive, and industrial applications supplying General Electric and the Ford Motor Company.
The Foundation's mission is implemented through an international program of research institutes, professorships, and symposia in the scientific fields of astrophysics, nanoscience, neuroscience, and theoretical physics.
Three days after he received his engineering degree from the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH) in Trondheim he left for America on the .
Having no job or sponsor waiting for him, his visa application was initially rejected, and so in 1955 he immigrated to Montreal, Quebec, Canada instead.
Under his leadership, the company became one of the world's largest suppliers of sensors for aeronautic, automotive, and industrial applications supplying amongst others General Electric and the Ford Motor Company.
In 2000, he sold Kavlico for $345 million to C-Mac Industries Inc. Kavlico is today owned by the French company Schneider Electric.
As a philanthropist, Kavli subsequently established The Kavli Foundation and dedicated much of his wealth to funding research institutions and programs worldwide.
On June 19, 2006, he was appointed Grand Officer, Commander with Star, of the Royal Norwegian Order of Merit by King Harald V of Norway in recognition of his work on behalf of Norway and humanity.
In 2008, he was also awarded an honorary doctorate, Doctor Honoris Causa, by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, in recognition of his work to the benefit and advancement of science and research.
He was also a former member of the U.S. President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, and former member of the University of California President's Board on Science and Innovation.
In 2011, he received the Bower Award for Business Leadership from the Franklin Institute, one of the oldest science education centers in the United States, and the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy, which is given biennially to one or more individuals who, like Andrew Carnegie, have dedicated their private wealth to public good, and who have sustained impressive careers as philanthropists.
A Trustee of the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) Foundation, in addition to supporting scientific research and education, his philanthropic activities include the Fred Kavli Theatre for Performing Arts at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, California, as well as other projects.
On November 21, 2013, Kavli died at his Santa Barbara, California home after surgery for cholangiocarcinoma, a rare form of cancer.
The Kavli Prizes are presented in cooperation with the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters and the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research, and have been awarded biennially at a ceremony in Oslo since 2008.
These committee members are recommended by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the French Academy of Sciences, the Max Planck Society, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and The Royal Society, with committee chairs chosen by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.
The first Kavli Prize winners were announced on May 28, 2008, simultaneously in Oslo and at the opening of the World Science Festival in New York City.
Louis E. Brus and Sumio Iijima shared the nanoscience prize, while Pasko Rakic, Thomas Jessell and Sten Grillner were awarded the neuroscience prize.
The four US winners of the Kavli Prize were honored by President George W. Bush and Science Advisor, Dr. John Marburger, at an Oval Office reception in the White House on November 12, 2008.
The Kavli Foundation, based in Oxnard, California, is dedicated to the goals of advancing science for the benefit of humanity and to promote public understanding and support for scientists and their work.
It was established in 2000 by Mr. Kavli and is actively involved in establishing major research institutes at leading universities and institutions in the United States, Europe and Asia.
These institutions are the beneficiaries of the Kavli Foundation to date, and the list is bound to grow in the future.
In addition to the Kavli Institutes, six Kavli professorships have been established: two at the University of California Santa Barbara, one at the University of California Los Angeles, one at the University of California Irvine, one at Columbia University, and one at the California Institute of Technology.
The institutes are not required to focus on any specific subject but are free to do any basic research they see fit.
Seven researchers associated with the Kavli institutes have been awarded Nobel prizes: David Gross, Frank Wilczek, Richard Axel, Eric Kandel, Edvard Moser, May-Britt Moser and Rainer Weiss.
As of March 2008, there are 15 institutes in the United States, 2 in China, 1 in the Netherlands, 1 in Norway and 1 in the United Kingdom.
The curiosity of the human being is what has brought us where we are today, and I have complete confidence that it will take us where we need to be in the future.
Born in Montclair, New Jersey, Atkins was a graduate of Appleby College in Oakville and of Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, where he completed the Bachelor of Arts program in 1957.
Atkins was a leading figure in advertising and a senior Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario and Progressive Conservative Party of Canada strategist.
In the 1980s, he was a strategist for the federal Conservatives, led by Brian Mulroney, who recommended him to Governor General Jeanne Sauvé for appointment to the Senate in 1986.
Atkins opposed the merger of the Progressive Conservative Party with the Canadian Alliance, and refused to join the product of that merger, the Conservative Party of Canada.
He was elected with the support of defiant Liberal senators after moderate Conservative Senator Michael Meighen resigned his position at the direction of the Prime Minister's Office who reportedly wished to install a more ideologically conservative co-chair.
He moved to United States in the fifties to join in a world tour with the Afroamerican dancer Katherine Dunham and her Dance Company.
Julito Collazo is one of a handful of Cuban percussionists who came to the United States in the 1940s and 1950s.
In the United States Collazo rose to prominence recording and performing with Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, Mongo Santamaría, Silvestre Méndez, Dizzy Gillespie and Machito, among others.
These collaborations were magisterial and provide motivation and feedback for researchers, and assure the relevance of the research to the goal of improving the performance of batá drums.
Mestwin was a member of the Samborides dynasty, the son of Duke Sobiesław of Gdańsk and younger brother of Sambor I, whom he succeeded in Pomerelia by appointment of the Polish High Duke Władysław III Spindleshanks.
He was married to Swinisława (d. 1240), maybe a daughter of Polish High Duke Mieszko III the Old, formerly also referred to as a daughter of Duke Ratibor I of Pomerania.
Timex Group USA, Inc. (formerly known as Timex Corporation) is an American manufacturing company founded in 1854 as the Waterbury Clock Company in Waterbury, Connecticut.
Its successor today is Timex Group USA, Inc. which is the only remaining watch company in the region, although Breitling has offices in nearby Wilton.
During the turn of the century, Waterbury Clock Company produced millions of pocket watches for the Robert H. Ingersoll & Bro.
In 1877, a new prototype was introduced to Benedict and Burnham for an inexpensive pocket watch made of 58 parts, mostly punched sheet brass.
The department quickly outgrew its space in the plant, so Benedict & Burnham incorporated Waterbury Clock's sister company Waterbury Watch Company in 1880 with a capital of $400,000 to manufacture and sell inexpensive watches and other timepieces.
In a last attempt to salvage the company, Waterbury Watch began to produce higher-end watch models which only created more demand on a workforce unable to keep up with the complexity of the new watches using several hundred parts.
The company was finally reorganized as the New England Watch Company in 1898, as its London sales office was placed into liquidation.
World War I brought new demands for timepiece design; artillery gunners, for example, needed an easy way to calculate and read time while still being able to work the guns.
They added lugs for a canvas strap, repositioned the crown to 3 o'clock, and made the hands and numbers luminescent for nighttime readability, thus producing one of the first wristwatches.
However, Waterbury Clock was unable to deliver on Ingersoll's guarantee of quality in Europe due to the Great Depression, so they sold the London-based Ingersoll, Ltd. to its board of directors in 1930, making it a wholly British-owned enterprise.
The Ingersoll brand name was continued in the United States by Waterbury Clock into the 1950s, while Ingersoll Ltd. produced the Ingersoll watch brand independently for the European and other markets.
They reached a license agreement with Walt Disney in 1930 to produce the famous Mickey Mouse watches and clocks under the Ingersoll brand name.
They introduced the Mickey Mouse timepieces to the public at the Chicago World's Fair in June 1933, and they quickly became the company's first million-dollar line, saving it from financial disaster.
Olsen Shipping Co., and he fled Norway in 1940 together with Joakim Lehmkuhl and their families because of the Nazi invasion.
Olson appointed Lehmkuhl president, who had studied business and engineering at Harvard and MIT, and the company became the largest producer of fuse timers for precision defense products in the United States under his direction.
They built a new concrete plant in nearby Middlebury, Connecticut in 88 days in 1942 for the high-volume production of precision timers.
Sales declined after the Korean War in the 1950s because of diminishing defense orders, and United States Time president Lehmkuhl was convinced that an inexpensive watch would be a market success if it was both accurate and durable.
He felt that low cost could be accomplished through the combination of automation, the precision tooling techniques used in making fuse timers, and a simpler design than that of higher-priced Swiss watches.
These innovations led to the debut of the Timex brand in 1950, though the name was first used on a small trial shipment of nurses' watches in 1945.
US Time Corporation bought Lacher & Co. AG in Pforzheim, Germany (the Laco brand) on February 1, 1959 in order to acquire the electric watch technology which that company had developed.
The company manufactured mechanical components for missiles during the boom of American missile development in the late 1950s, including fuses, gyroscope, accelerometers, guidance sub-system, and various other miniature precision items.
The height of the company's ordnance and ammunition business lasted through the Vietnam era in the 1960s and 1970s, during which it operated Joliet Army Ammunition Plant as well as privately owned plants and storage facilities.
The commercials included high-divers, water skiers, a dolphin, dishwashers, jackhammers, paint mixers, and the propeller of an outboard motor, each torturing a Timex watch.
Consumer demand increased for the watches, despite resistance from jewelers because of the low 50% markup, and Timex opened new distribution channels including department stores, cigar stands, drug stores, and other mass market outlets.
By 1962, the Timex brand held the number one market share position in the United States, where one out of every three watches sold was a Timex.
Foreign markets were added with company sales offices in Canada, Mexico, France, Great Britain, Germany, and Portugal, as well as distributors in about 20 other countries.
Edwin H. Land, co-founder of Polaroid Corporation, contacted United States Time Corporation in 1948 in search of a manufacturer for his cameras.
A strong relationship was forged between the companies in 1950 resulting in United States Time becoming the exclusive manufacturer of all Polaroid cameras worldwide through the 1970s, totaling more than 44 million cameras.
In the 1970s and early 1980s, the American watch and clock industry was devastated by the arrival of cheap mechanical watches from the Far East, as well as the development of digital quartz watches pioneered by Japanese companies.
Lehmkuhl retired in 1973 with no clear successor, and Polaroid ended its contract with Timex in 1975 resulting in a layoff of 2,000 employees.
New technology was developing rapidly in the form of electronic digital watches and quartz analog watches, making Timex's mechanical watchmaking production facilities obsolete.
New competitors were aggressively entering the business, including Japanese companies, low-cost Hong Kong producers, and large American companies such as Gillette, Texas Instruments, and National Semi-Conductor.
The company entered the home computer business in a joint venture with Sinclair Research Ltd., selling computers as the Timex Sinclair 1000 and succeeding machines, modeled on the ZX81 and ZX Spectrum.
They faced declining sales amid a price war with Commodore Business Machines in 1984 and decided not to compete in that market any longer.
Longer battery life, more durable gold plating, greater accuracy, and more water resistant styles were some of the many improvements that they implemented.
Top athletes assisted in the design of sports watches for specific sports, which led to the introduction of the Ironman Triathlon in 1986 which was named for the Hawaiian triathlon that the company had sponsored since 1984, and it became the most successful Timex watch in the post-mechanical watch era.
Within its first year, Timex Ironman became the best-selling watch in the United States, and the world's largest selling sport watch for the next decade.
Indiglo made headlines as a result of the February 26, 1993 World Trade Center bombing, in which an office worker wearing a Timex with an Indiglo night light used its light to guide a group of evacuees down 40 dark flights of stairs.
The Data Link PDA-type watch could receive contact and scheduling information from a sequence in a computer monitor's light using software developed with Microsoft.
The new millennium led to further growth of Timex Corporation and its parent Timex Group B.V., by way of brand acquisition, brand introduction, and licensing partnerships.
In 2007, Timex Group B.V. established Sequel AG as a separate company devoted to the design, manufacture, and distribution of the Guess and the Swiss-made Gc watch brands.
The company was restructured in early 2008, establishing the Timex Business Unit as a separate business function for the Timex brand with its own president.
Previous Timex Group CEOs had managed the Timex Group and brand, which had contributed to the brand's lower earnings in the previous five years.
Timex Group's Sequel division houses the Guess collections and had grown tremendously to rival Timex as the firm's top earner, but the signature brand had been flat as of August 2008.
In 2008, Timex Group USA signed a four-year agreement making Timex the first official timekeeper of the New York City Marathon.
Meanwhile, parent company Timex Group B.V. launched Swiss-made luxury watch brands Salvatore Ferragamo Timepieces and Valentino Timeless under the Timex Group Luxury Watches business.
That same year, they began construction on the second-largest ground-mounted solar array in the United States at Timex Group USA's headquarters in Middlebury, Connecticut.
The Callanen International business unit merged with the Timex Business Unit in 2009, bringing the Timex, Opex, TX, Nautica, and Marc Eckō brands under one company.
Timex Group B.V., a Dutch holding company, is the corporate parent of several watchmaking companies around the globe including Timex Group USA, Inc.
Businesses and exclusive worldwide licenses include the Timex Business Unit (Timex, Timex Ironman, Opex, Nautica, Marc Eckō), Sequel (Guess, Gc), Timex Group Luxury Division (Versace, Versus, Salvatore Ferragamo, Vincent Bérard, CT Scuderia and Teslar) and Giorgio Galli Design Lab.
Today, Timex Group B.V.'s products are manufactured in the Far East, and in Switzerland, often based on technology that continues to be developed in the United States and in Germany.
The southern (lower) part of Lindholm Høje dates to 1000 – 1050 AD, the Viking Age, while the northern (higher) part is significantly earlier, dating back to the 5th century AD in the Nordic Iron Age.
An unknown number of rocks has been removed from the site over the centuries, many, for example, being broken up in the 19th century for use in road constructions.
The first major archaeological excavation, which ultimately included 589 of the approximately 700 graves, began in 1952, although excavations had been conducted as early as 1889.
During the Viking Age, it was only possible to make the crossing at this point or much further west along the fjord at Aggersund, because of the swamps which then edged the fjord on either side.
The settlement was abandoned in approximately 1200 AD, probably due to sand drifting from the western coast, which was a consequence of extensive deforestation and the exposed sand then being blown inland by the rough westerly winds.
Because of its location and transportation links, the settlement was obviously a significant centre for trade at the time, and this is borne out by glassware, gems and Arab coins found at the site.
An 11th-century silver Urnes style brooch found in one grave is the model for bronze copies that were being cast in a Lund jeweler's workshop in the early 12th century.
The majority of the burials discovered were cremations, although a number of inhumations were also discovered, and it appeared that the tendency towards cremation or burial depended upon the period, cremation supplanting inhumation in the Viking Age.
Of the later graves, some women's graves appear to be distinguished by placement of rocks in a circle or oval, but most of the graves are marked with rocks either in a triangle or in the traditional shape of a boat (stone ship), indicating the importance that the Vikings placed upon water.
The shape and size of the grave outline apparently indicate the status of the person – all of which is reminiscent of the ship burials of the Anglo-Saxons, Norwegian and Swedish Vikings and other ancient Germanic societies.
A museum adjacent to the site donated by Aalborg Portland A/S cement company to commemorate their centennial was opened in 1992.
In addition, Lithuanian orthography uses five digraphs (Ch Dz Dž Ie Uo); these function as sequences of two letters for collation purposes.
The majority of the Lithuanian alphabet is in the Unicode block C0 controls and basic Latin (non-accented symbols), and the rest of the Lithuanian alphabet (ą Ą č Č ę Ę ė Ė į Į š Š ų Ų ū Ū ž Ž) is in the Latin Extended-A.
He was the elder son of Duke Sobiesław I and an early scion of the Samborides dynasty, which is named after him.
He is also mentioned in an 1186 deed as the founder of the Cistercian abbey at Oliwa, a filial monastery of Kołbacz.
The 14th century obituary of Oliwa Abbey denotes the date of his death with 7 February 1207, however Sambor probably died under the reign of High Duke Władysław III Spindleshanks (1202–1206).
The procession is led by an individual carrying a duck — originally dead, now just wooden — tied to the end of a vertical pole.
The identity of King Edward in the song is not known; it could refer to any of the five English monarchs of that name (three numbered, and two earlier monarchs) up to the time the song was created.
Crick, one of the co-discoverers of the molecular structure of DNA, later became a theorist for neurobiology and the study of the brain.
Human consciousness according to Crick is central to human existence and so scientists find themselves approaching topics traditionally left to philosophy and religion.
Crick claims that scientific study of the brain during the 20th century led to acceptance of consciousness, free will, and the human soul as subjects for scientific investigation.
), Crick focuses on the primate visual system and breaks down the prerequisites for conscious experience into several broad subconditions, including some sort of short term memory and attention mechanism.
The book then delves into a brief overview of many neuroscientific topics, ranging from a survey of how neurons function to a description of basic neural circuits and their artificial equivalents.
Throughout, Crick cites various experiments which illustrate the narrow points he is making about visual awareness, such as studies investigating the phenomenon of blindsight in macaques.
The later chapters of the book try to synthesize many of the points made earlier about the visual system into a unified framework, although Crick frequently notes the many exceptions to his assumptions and the clumsiness of many of his attempts at synthesis.
Also, here he takes the opportunity to make suggestions for further experiments that could provide empirical basis for further understanding about human consciousness and includes a brief addendum on several topics he purposefully glossed over, like free will.
Crick's view of this relationship was that religions can be wrong about scientific matters and that part of what science does is to confront the errors that exist within religious traditions.
For example, the idea of a mechanism for the evolution of life by natural selection conflicts with some views on creation of life by divine intervention.
Some, such as neurologist and Nobel Laureate Gerald Edelman believe that neural Darwinism is a more satisfactory explanation for the emergence of complex intelligence in humans.
Another school of thought, this one largely made up of those outside of scientific disciplines, consider consciousness to either be simply beyond the possibility of explanation or at least dependent on some qualities that are not simply physical (i.e.
Lastly, those who support quantum theory of mind also disagree with how Crick simplifies the workings of the brain to only the Standard Model of physics.
Nicknamed The Szechuan Sage, he wears a yellow outfit and rises into Kitchen Stadium holding a large Chinese chef's knife in his hand.
He was born in Japan to a Japanese mother and a Chinese father of Japanese nationality, Chen Kenmin and his formal name is .
Chen is the son of Chen Kenmin 陈建民 , who is regarded as the father of Sichuan cuisine 四川料理 in Japan.
Even though he is the longest-serving Iron Chef and the only original Iron Chef, having been an Iron Chef for the series' six-year run, Chen has on several occasions considered leaving his position; among his reasons was the desire to tend to his restaurants, which had become booked every night since the show's start, as well as a bout of depression following the death of his mother.
Ultimately, it was fellow Iron Chef Hiroyuki Sakai who convinced Chen to stay, with their agreement that should one leave the show, so would the other.
He was also remarkable for his frequent tasting of food, frequently dipping his ladle into steaming concoctions for sampling, only to place the same ladle back in the food.
Among his more memorable matches was one with challenger Dominique Corby of the Tour d'Argent, where, after the main battle (with foie gras as the theme ingredient) was fought to a tie, the overtime battle (with asparagus as the theme) also resulted in a tie—the only time that such an outcome occurred in the series.
Rather than have Chen and Corby fight a second overtime battle, Chairman Kaga, the show's host, decreed that both contestants were the winners, effectively calling the battle a draw.
In his case, he battled with the chefs of Heichinrou restaurant in Yokohama, defeating two of their number before finally losing to their head chef in an overtime battle.
Chen is an avid baseball fan and states that it would have been his choice to go professional but opted not to.
The restaurant was inherited from his father and he is currently the third to run it after his mother took over.
Benzocaine, sold under the brand name Orajel amongst others, is an ester local anesthetic commonly used as a topical pain reliever or in cough drops.
However, there have been reports of serious, life-threatening adverse effects (e.g., seizures, coma, irregular heart beat, respiratory depression) with over-application of topical products or when applying topical products that contain high concentrations of benzocaine to the skin.
Overapplication of oral anesthetics such as benzocaine can increase the risk of pulmonary aspiration by relaxing the gag-reflex and allowing regurgitated stomach contents or oral secretions to enter the airway.
The topical use of higher concentration (10–20%) benzocaine products applied to the mouth or mucous membranes has been found to be a cause of methemoglobinemia, a disorder in which the amount of oxygen carried by the blood is greatly reduced.
As a result, the FDA has stated that benzocaine products should not be used in children under two years of age, unless directed by and supervised by a healthcare professional.
Symptoms of methemoglobinemia usually occur within minutes to hours of applying benzocaine, and can occur upon the first-time use or after additional use.
When the nerve endings are stimulated, sodium enters the neuron, causing depolarization of the nerve and subsequent initiation of an action potential.
Benzocaine is sparingly soluble in water; it is more soluble in dilute acids and very soluble in ethanol, chloroform, and ethyl ether.
Whilst giving a numbing effect similar to cocaine on users' mucous membranes, it does not actually produce the effects of cocaine.
Trifolium repens, the white clover (also known as Dutch clover, Ladino clover, or Ladino), is a herbaceous perennial plant in the bean family Fabaceae (previously referred to as Leguminosae).
It is native to Europe, including the British Isles, and central Asia and is one of the most widely cultivated types of clover.
It has been widely introduced worldwide as a forage crop, and is now also common in most grassy areas (lawns and gardens) of North America and New Zealand.
It is low growing, with heads of whitish flowers, often with a tinge of pink or cream that may come on with the aging of the plant.
The stems function as stolons, so white clover often forms mats, with the stems creeping as much as a year, and rooting at the nodes.
It is native in Europe and Central Asia, ubiquitous throughout the British Isles, introduced in North America, South Africa, New Zealand and elsewhere, and globally cultivated as a forage crop.
about 110 to 170 kg N per hectare per year) in root nodules of white clover obviates synthetic nitrogen fertilizer use for maintaining productivity on much temperate zone pasture land.
Such mixtures can not only optimize livestock production, but can also reduce the bloat risk to livestock that can be associated with excessive white clover in pastures.
Such species mixtures also tend to avoid issues that could otherwise be associated with cyanogenic glycoside (linamarin and lotaustralin) intake on pure or nearly pure stands of some white clover varieties.
However, problems do not inevitably arise with grazing on monocultures of white clover, and superior ruminant production is sometimes achieved on white clover monocultures managed to optimize sward height.
Formononetin and biochanin A play a role in arbuscular mycorrhiza formation on white clover roots, and foliar disease can stimulate production of estrogenic coumestans in white clover.
However, while there have been a few reports of phytoestrogenic effects of white clover on grazing ruminants, these have been far less common than such reports regarding some varieties of subterranean and red clover.
Among forage plants, some white clover varieties tend to be favored by rather close grazing, because of their stoloniferous habit, which can contribute to competitive advantage.
It is often added to lawn seed mixes, as it is able to grow and provide green cover in poorer soils where turfgrasses do not perform well.
White clover can tolerate close mowing and grazing, and it can grow on many different types and pHs of soil (although it prefers clay soils).
As a leguminous and hardy plant, it is considered to be a beneficial component of natural or organic pasture management and lawn care due to its ability to fix nitrogen and out-compete weeds.
Natural nitrogen fixing reduces leaching from the soil and by maintaining soil health can reduce the incidence of some lawn diseases that are enhanced by the availability of synthetic fertilizer.
Besides making an excellent forage crop for livestock, its leaves and flowers are a valuable survival food: they are high in proteins, and are widespread and abundant.
They are not easy for humans to digest raw, however, but this is easily fixed by boiling the harvested plants for 5–10 minutes.
Founded in 1908, it became known as Youngstown College in 1931 and sought accreditation through the North Central Association in 1944.
In 1955, Youngstown College became Youngstown University; later designated Youngstown State University in 1967 and now joins the University System of Ohio.
The university is composed of 6 undergraduate colleges including the Beeghly College of Education, Cliffe College of Creative Arts and Communication, College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, Dr. Dominic A. and Helen M. Bitonte College of Health and Human Services, College of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, and the Warren P. Williamson, Jr. College of Business Administration.
Youngstown State University boasts 170 undergraduate degree programs and over 50 graduate degree programs serving over 12,000 students in studies up to the doctoral level.
Students can participate in over 100 clubs and organizations, ranging from student government, fraternities and sororities, recreational sports programs, and student media organizations such as The Jambar.
The university is a member of the Horizon League in all varsity sports, with the football team part of an alliance where the Horizon, The Summit League, and Missouri Valley Conference, FCS scholarship schools compete as the Missouri Valley Football Conference.
The university's origins trace back to 1908, when the local branch of the YMCA established a school of law within the Youngstown Association School.
In 1928, a year after establishing the College of Arts and Sciences, the institute once again changed its name to Youngstown College.
Although it is not located near any outstanding geographical features, that has not stopped Youngstown State's campus from being noted for its landscaping, which is dissimilar from that of many other urban universities.
YSU's geographical center has a park-like atmosphere, featuring a rather-hilly terrain and a variety of trees and plant life, as well as tables and chairs that surround a campus fountain.
Most buildings on campus have been built within the last half-century, making them newer than most buildings in downtown Youngstown, where most buildings were constructed before the Great Depression.
It features reading and study rooms, computer labs, a copying center, a variety of restaurants (including a Chick-Fil-A, Wendy's and Dunkin' Donuts), and many student-affairs offices.
Jones Hall, often the building that welcomes those coming onto YSU's campus, is one of the campus' oldest buildings, having been built in 1931, when YSU was still known as Youngstown College.
In 2013, the former Wick Pollock Inn – located on Wick Avenue, next to Bliss Hall – was converted into The University President's House.
Organized shows are available for groups during the week, and scheduled shows available Friday and Saturday evenings (with shows geared toward younger audiences on Saturday afternoons).
YSU offers doctoral degrees in educational leadership and physical therapy, as well as a doctorate in mathematics in cooperation with Rhodes University.
Additionally, the Youngstown State University Symphonic Wind Ensemble performed at New York City's Carnegie Hall in March 2005 and again in November 2015.
Following the conclusion of the strike, relations remained strained, with some faculty and staff calling for the resignation of YSU President David Sweet in May 2007.
Relations have improved since that time and are now typical of what one would expect of a unionized campus in a region that has always been at the center of US union activism.
In June 2015, it was announced that a $7.8 million, 162-bed, four-story, privately owned, student housing complex named University Edge YSU would be built on West Rayen Avenue between Fifth and Belmont avenues by Hallmark Campus Communities of Columbus and Fortress Real Estate Co. of Atlanta.
LRC Realty announced the $10 million, 163-bed, five story, privately, owned retail/student housing complex, called The Enclave, was built on nearly 2 acres between Lincoln and Wick avenues in Youngstown.
Youngstown State University is home to three Greek councils; Interfraternity Council (IFC), National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), and the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC).
Graduate tuition is $7,337/academic year for Ohio residents, while all other graduate students (including international students) pay just $150 per academic year ($8.34 per credit hour) in addition to the in-state tuition.
Once seen as primarily a commuter school, Youngstown State University has a growing number of student housing available both on and off campus.
YSU has participated in the Youngstown Early College program, through which students from the Youngstown City School District can take courses for college credit while in high school.
YSU is no longer affiliated with Youngstown Early College, while Eastern Gateway Community College has taken over full operations away from YSU in 2013.
YSU operates several Centers of Excellence and designated research and economic development programs, including the Center for Transportation and Materials Engineering, the Center of Excellence in Materials Science and Engineering, the Center of Excellence in International Business, the Center for Applied Chemical Biology, the Institute for Applied Topology, and effective in 2012, the Natural Gas and Water Resources Institute.
Youngstown State University is also home to the Center for Working Class Studies and offers a Regional and American Studies program, which was the first of its kind in the United States.
Youngstown State has a number of men's and women's sports teams, including baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, swimming, diving, tennis, track and field, volleyball, softball, soccer, lacrosse, and bowling.
Youngstown State currently plays as a member of the NCAA at the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (formerly known as Division I-AA) and are a member of the Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC).
YSU football has been one of the leading programs in NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision, winning four national championships under former head coach Jim Tressel (currently YSU President), which is third behind North Dakota State's seven titles and Georgia Southern's six.
The university is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) Division I, and the Penguins compete in football as members of the Missouri Valley Football Conference.
The structure also houses the university's ROTC branch, as well as the DeBartolo Stadium Club, which overlooks the city of Youngstown and is available for events.
Home of the department of kinesiology and sports sciences, it includes an olympic-sized swimming pool, racquetball and squash courts, as well as administrative offices.
The Andrews Student Recreation and Wellness Center is the main recreational facility on campus, and is available to all students and staff members.
The building boasts Ohio's tallest rock wall (53 feet), as well as free-weight and cardio gyms, meditation and aerobics studios, four indoor multi-purpose courts, and an indoor track.
The Watson and Tressel Training Site, completed in 2011, is one of the largest and newest buildings of its kind in the Horizon league.
Facilities at WATTS include a turf football field, track, long-jump and high-jump pits as well as practice sites for baseball, football, track, softball, golf, and soccer.
The Netherlands has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 60 times since making its debut as one of the seven countries at the first contest in .
The country has missed only four contests, twice because the dates coincided with Remembrance of the Dead (1985, 1991) and twice because of being relegated due to poor results the previous year (1995 and 2002).
The Netherlands hosted the contest in Hilversum (), Amsterdam (), twice in The Hague ( and ), and will host the contest in Rotterdam in .
The Netherlands has won the contest five times, with Corry Brokken (), Teddy Scholten (), Lenny Kuhr in a four-way tie (), Teach-In () and Duncan Laurence ().
The country's other top five results are Sandra & Andres fourth (), Mouth & MacNeal third (), Maggie MacNeal fifth (), Marcha fifth (), Edsilia Rombley fourth (), and second with The Common Linnets ().
After the introduction of the semifinals in 2004, the Netherlands failed to reach the final for eight years in a row from 2005 to 2012, the record of the contest, but have since reached six of the last seven finals.
Brokken's Heel de wereld received the first point from the first voting country, Switzerland, but it turned on to be the only point for her and finished tied ninth and last.
The song led in some early stage before dramatic roller coaster voting occurred before Italy sent seven points to the Dutch and France sent four more for another Dutch victory.
Rudi Carrell and Annie Palmen won the national final with Wat een geluk in 1960 before Carrell was selected for the night but the song finished 12th or second last.
This song is in the distinguished list for finishing last with 0 points but still being the more-remembered entries from the dark age.
This folk song about Troubadour didn't lead early in the voting before the third last country, France, gave six points to lead.
This song received six twelves and almost 8.5 average, winning the contest for the fourth time, being the first song to win after singing first.
This short song was the first time in 1961 that was internally selected before the country selected the entries internally since 2013.
Anouk was eventually chosen, and not only did she break the Netherlands' long non-qualification streak, she gave the country its first top 10 placing since 1999.
The following year, bookmakers downgraded The Common Linnets' chances of success going into the contest, yet the group proved them wrong by winning their semifinal and finishing second overall.
After a non-qualification with Trijntje Oosterhuis in 2015, the Dutch then recorded four consecutive qualifications with Douwe Bob and OG3NE both finishing in 11th place in their respective appearances, and Waylon placing 18th.
In 1991 the contest was again held on 4 May, and so the Netherlands withdrew for the same reason as six years earlier.
There was no Dutch participation in the 1995 and 2002 contests, due to relegation as a result of the country's poor showings in the previous year.
But at 22:00 (UTC+2) on Saturday 13 May, the broadcast was cancelled because of the Enschede fireworks disaster which happened a few hours before.
The points awarded by the Netherlands were taken from the back-up jury vote, as there was no televote after the program was cut short.
Over the years NOS/TROS commentary has been provided by several experienced radio and television presenters, including Willem Duys, Ivo Niehe, Pim Jacobs, Ati Dijckmeester and Paul de Leeuw.
On June 29, 2010, Maas was sacked as commentator after putting insults on Twitter about Sieneke, Joran van der Sloot and the Party for Freedom (PVV).
His father had ruled over Eastern Pomerania (or Pomerelia) since about 1205 by appointment of the Polish high duke Władysław III Spindleshanks.
In 1216 or 1217 his son Swietopelk was made a steward over Pomerelia by High Duke Leszek I the White of Kraków.
In 1218, Swietopelk took advantage of a revolt of local knights against Danish rule to occupy the Lands of Schlawe and Stolp.
Swietopelk, who had exploited Piast Poland's fragmentation to gain independence, promised Władysław Odonic the throne of Kraków and Silesia in exchange for his support in the ousting of Leszek and Henry I the Bearded of Lower Silesia .
On 23 November 1227, on the occasion of an assembly of Piast dukes in Gąsawa, Leszek was killed in an ambush set by Swietopelk II and perhaps Władysław, while Henry was severely wounded.
In 1233-34, Swietopelk II, with his brother Sambor, joined a crusading army along with Hermann Balk, Konrad I of Masovia, Henry the Bearded, and Władysław Odonic.
The brothers, over whom Swantopolk was supposed to govern for twenty years, refused to support their overlord after twelve years, and the conflict escalated into a civil war.
Sambor and Racibor were driven out from their lands and sought refuge and alliance first with Piast relatives in Greater Poland, later with the Teutonic Knights, a Christian military order waging a crusade against pagan Prussians.
Eventually, the uprising did not succeed and a peace treaty, mediated by a papal legate, was signed on 24 November 1248.
Swietopelk had to return lands seized from his brothers, allow Teutonic Knights to pass through his domains, stop charging tolls on ships using the Vistula, and stop any aid to the Prussians.
After governing since 1220 for 46 years, Swietopelk died in 1266, with his sons Mestwin II and Wratislaw II inheriting his lands.
The Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company was an American brewery based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and once the largest producer of beer in the United States.
Schlitz first became the largest beer producer in the US in 1902 and enjoyed that status at several points during the first half of the 20th century, exchanging the title with Anheuser-Busch multiple times during the 1950s.
Schlitz was bought by Stroh Brewery Company in 1982 and subsequently sold along with the rest of Stroh's assets to Pabst Brewing Company in 1999.
Blue Ribbon is a partnership between American beer entrepreneur Eugene Kashper and TSG Consumer Partners, a San Francisco–based private equity firm.
The often circulated story of Schlitz' proposed donation of thousands of barrels of beer to the Chicago population after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 is simply a modern myth, pushed by later marketing campaigns.
From the late 1880s, Schlitz built dozens of tied houses in Chicago, most with a concrete relief of the company logo embedded in the brickwork; several of these buildings survive today, including Schuba's Tavern at the corner of Belmont and Southport.
Schlitz died on May 7, 1875 at sea—while traveling to Germany, his ship hit a rock near Land's End, Cornwall, and sank.
The company flourished through much of the 1900s, starting in 1902 when the production of one million barrels of beer surpassed Pabst's claim as the largest brewery in the United States.
The strike greatly impacted Schlitz's production, including all of Milwaukee's other breweries and allowed Anheuser-Busch to surpass Schlitz in the American beer market.
The popularity of Schlitz's namesake beer, along with the introduction of value-priced Old Milwaukee, allowed Schlitz to regain the number-one position.
Faced with a desire to meet large volume demands while also cutting the cost of production, the brewing process for Schlitz's flagship Schlitz beer was changed in the early 1970s.
The primary changes involved using corn syrup to replace some of the malted barley, adding a silica gel to prevent the product from forming a haze, using high-temperature fermentation instead of the traditional method, and also substituted less-expensive extracts rather than traditional ingredients.
The reformulated product resulted in a beer that not only lost much of the flavor and consistency of the traditional formula, but also spoiled more quickly, rapidly losing public appeal.
In 1976, concern was growing that the Food and Drug Administration would require all ingredients to be labeled on their bottles and cans.
The agent reacted badly with a foam stabilizer that was used and Schlitz recalled 10 million bottles of beer, costing it $1.4 million.
As part of its efforts to reverse the sales decline, Schlitz launched a disastrous 1977 television ad campaign created by Leo Burnett & Co.
In each of the ads, a burly Schlitz drinker threatens an off-screen speaker (visually identified with the viewer) who wants him to switch to a rival beer.
The Baldwinsville brewery was purchased by Anheuser-Busch in 1981 to supplement production of the upcoming Budweiser Light – now Bud Light – release in 1982.
Because of the nonstandard brewery design, Baldwinsville is unique and capable of complex production, making it a key player in the 12 domestic Anheuser-Busch plants.
What remained of the historic Schlitz Brewery complex in Milwaukee was transformed with tax increment financing and other government support into a mixed-use development called Schlitz Park.
During the reformulating period of the early 1970s, the original Schlitz beer formula was lost and never included in any of the subsequent sales of the company.
Through research of documents and interviews with former Schlitz brewmasters and taste-testers, Pabst was able to reconstruct the 1960s classic formula.
Pabst Brewing Company, now headquartered in Los Angeles, continues to produce Schlitz beer, Old Milwaukee, and four Schlitz malt liquors—Schlitz Red Bull, Schlitz Bull Ice, Schlitz High Gravity, and Schlitz Malt Liquor.
His television trademark is a red French chef's costume; he rises into Kitchen Stadium holding a nashi pear in his hand.
Sakai agreed after being convinced by his staff, believing the impression that the show would air for another six months, giving him two or three appearances.
Upon his first loss, he had tried to be cheerful in explaining his loss to a younger chef who also owned his own restaurant, but his entire staff was mortified upon hearing the news.
In an effort to learn from others, Sakai often tasted food opponents had prepared, or grabbed assistants and asked them questions after the battle was over.
In 2009, Sakai was named a recipient of the Gendai no Meiko (Contemporary Master Craftsmen) awards, honoring Japan's foremost artisans in various fields.
Fischer esterification or Fischer–Speier esterification is a special type of esterification by refluxing a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst.
Contrary to common misconception found in organic chemistry textbooks, phenols can also be esterified to give good to near quantitative yield of products.
The reaction is often carried out without a solvent (particularly when a large reagent excess of alcohol is used) or in a non-polar solvent (e.g.
Direct acylations of alcohols with carboxylic acids is preferred over acylations with anhydrides (poor atom economy) or acid chlorides (moisture sensitive).
Fischer esterification is an example of nucleophilic acyl substitution based on the electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon and the nucleophilicity of an alcohol.
Straightforward acidic conditions can be used if acid-sensitive functional groups are not an issue; sulfuric acid can be used; weaker acids can be used with a tradeoff of longer reaction times.
Acid chlorides evolve hydrogen chloride gas upon contact with atmospheric moisture, are corrosive, react vigorously with water and other nucleophiles (sometimes dangerously); they are easily quenched by other nucleophiles besides the desired alcohol; their most common synthesis routes involve the evolution of toxic carbon monoxide or sulfur dioxide gases (depending on the synthesis process used).
Acid anhydrides are more reactive than esters because the leaving group is a carboxylate anion—a better leaving group than an alkoxide anion because their negative charge is more delocalised.
For example, in reacting ethanol with acetic anhydride, ethyl acetate forms and acetic acid is eliminated as a leaving group, which is considerably less reactive than an acid anhydride and will be left as a byproduct (in a wasteful 1:1 ratio with the ester product) if product is collected immediately.
If conditions are acidic enough, the acetic acid can be further reacted via the Fischer esterification pathway, but at a much slower pace.
However, in many carefully designed syntheses, reagents can be designed such that acid anhydrides are generated in situ and carboxylic acid byproducts are reactivated, and Fischer esterification routes are not necessarily mutually exclusive with acetic anhydride routes.
Fischer esterification is primarily a thermodynamically-controlled process: because of its slowness, the most stable ester tends to be the major product.
The primary disadvantages of Fischer esterification routes are its thermodynamic reversibility and relatively slow reaction rates—often on the scale of several hours to years, depending on the reaction conditions.
Workarounds to this can be inconvenient if there are other functional groups sensitive to strong acid, in which case other catalytic acids may be chosen.
If the product ester has a lower boiling point than either water or the reagents, the product may be distilled rather than water; this is common as esters with no protic functional groups tend to have lower boiling points than their protic parent reagents.
Purification and extraction are easier if the ester product can be distilled away from the reagents and byproducts, but reaction rate can be slowed because overall reaction temperature can be limited in this scenario.
A more inconvenient scenario is if the reagents have a lower boiling point than either the ester product or water, in which case the reaction mixture must be capped and refluxed and a large excess of starting material added.
In this case anhydrous salts, such as Copper(II) sulfate or Potassium pyrosulfate, can also be added to sequester the water by forming hydrates, shifting the equilibrium towards ester products.
The natural esterification that takes place in wines and other alcoholic beverages during the aging process is an example of acid-catalysed esterification.
Over time, the acidity of the acetic acid and tannins in an aging wine will catalytically protonate other organic acids (including acetic acid itself), encouraging ethanol to react as a nucleophile.
Other combinations of organic alcohols (such as phenol-containing compounds) and organic acids lead to a variety of different esters in wines, contributing to their different flavours, smells and tastes.
Of course, when compared to sulfuric acid conditions, the acid conditions in a wine are mild, so yield is low (often in tenths or hundredths of a percentage point by volume) and take years for ester to accumulate.
It is believed that hydrobromic acid released by TBATB protonates the alcohol rather than the carboxylic acid, making the carboxylate the actual nucleophile.
Cem was the third son of Sultan Mehmed II and younger half-brother of Sultan Bayezid II, and thus a half-uncle of Sultan Selim I of Ottoman Empire.
After being defeated by Bayezid, Cem went on exile in Egypt and Europe, under the protection of the Mamluks, the Knights Hospitaller of St. John on the island of Rhodes, and ultimately the Pope.
At the death of Mehmed the Conqueror, on May 3, 1481, Bayezid was the governor of Sivas, Tokat and Amasya, and Cem ruled the provinces of Karaman and Konya.
Contrary to Islamic law, which prohibits any unnecessary delay in burial, Mehmed II's body was transported to Constantinople, where it lay three days.
His grand vizier Karamanlı Mehmet Pasha – believing himself to be fulfilling the wishes of the recently deceased Sultan – attempted to arrange a situation whereby the younger son Cem, whose governing seat at Konya was closer than his brother Bayezid's seat at Amasya, would arrive in Constantinople prior to his older sibling and be able to claim the throne.
However, Bayezid had already established a political network of influential pashas (two of whom were his sons-in-law), the janissaries, and those opposed to the policies of Mehmed II and the grand vizier.
In spite of Karamanlı Mehmet Pasha's attempts at secrecy, the Sultan's death and the grand vizier's plan were discovered by the Janissary corps, who supported Bayezid over Cem and had been kept out of the capital after the Sultan's death.
After the death of Karamanlı Mehmet Pasha, there was widespread rioting among the janisseries in Constantinople as there was neither a sultan nor a grand vizier to control the developments.
Understanding the danger of the situation, former grand vizier Ishak Pasha took the initiative of beseeching Bayezid to arrive with all due haste.
In the meantime, Ishak Pasha took the cautionary measure of proclaiming Bayezid's 11-year-old son, Sehzade (prince) Korkut, as regent until the arrival of his father.
The decisive battle between the two contenders to the Ottoman throne took place on June 19, 1481, near the town of Yenişehir.
The Mamlūk sultan Qāʾit Bāy (r. 1468–1496) received Cem with honour in Cairo, and Cem took the opportunity to go on pilgrimage to Mecca.
In Cairo, Cem received a letter from his brother, offering Cem one million akçes (the Ottoman currency) to stop competing for the throne.
He intended to give it all up and return to Cairo but all of the roads to Egypt were under Bayezid's control.
Bayezid offered him a stipend to live quietly in Jerusalem but refused to divide the empire, prompting Cem to flee to Rhodes on July 29, 1482.
In return for the overthrow of the new sultan Bayezid, Prince Cem offered perpetual peace between the Ottoman Empire and Christendom if he regained the Ottoman throne.
However, Pierre d'Aubusson realized that conflict with Bayezid would be imprudent, so he secretly approached Bayezid, concluded a peace treaty, and then reached a separate agreement on Cem's captivity in March 1483.
Some hoped to use his name and person to foment turmoil in the Ottoman realm, including the Mamlūk sultan Qāʾit Bāy, the king of Hungary, Matthias Corvinus, and Pope Innocent VIII.
Others, such as the Knights of Saint John, the Venetians, the king of Naples, and Popes Innocent VIII and Pope Alexander VI, viewed his presence in Europe as a deterrent to Ottoman aggression against Christendom and an opportunity for profit.
For his part, Bayezid II dispatched ambassadors and spies to the West to assure that his rival was detained indefinitely, and he even attempted to eliminate him through assassination.
After the death of King Louis XI of France (August 30, 1483), who had refused to accept a Muslim in his lands, the Knights of Saint John transferred him to Limousin (D'Aubusson's birthplace).
Bayezid II negotiated both with D'Aubusson, to have Cem returned to Rhodes, and with representatives of the new French monarch, Charles VIII, to have him kept in France.
When the king of Hungary and Pope Innocent VIII sought custody of the prince, the Pope prevailed, and Cem arrived in Rome on 13 March 1489.
Innocent VIII rebuffed overtures from the Mamlūks and prepared to launch a crusade against the Ottomans, but it was postponed when Matthias Corvinus of Hungary died on April 6, 1490.
These developments worried Bayezid, who contacted D'Aubusson and also sent Mustafa Bey (later a grand vizier) to Rome, to conclude a secret agreement, in December 1490.
The sultan promised not to attack Rhodes, Rome, or Venice, as well as to pay Cem's allowance of 40,000 ducats to the Pope (10,000 of which were earmarked for the Knights of Saint John), in return for the prince's incarceration.
Apparently, Cem found life in Rome more pleasant than in France, and he had lost hope of seizing the Ottoman throne, but he wanted to die in a Muslim land.
Cem's presence in Rome was useful nevertheless, because whenever Bayezid intended to launch a military campaign against Christian nations of the Balkans, the Pope would threaten to release his brother.
In exchange for maintaining the custody of Cem, Bayezid paid Innocent VIII 120,000 crowns (at the time, equal to all other annual sources of papal revenue combined), a relic of the Holy Lance (which allegedly had pierced the side of Christ), one hundred Moorish slaves, and an annual fee of 45,000 ducats.
In 1494, Charles VIII invaded Italy, to take possession of the kingdom of Naples, and announced a crusade against the Turks.
Cem died in Capua, while on a military expedition to conquer Naples under the command of King Charles VIII of France.
He also requested to have Cem's body for a Islamic funeral, but it was not until four years after Cem's death that his body was finally brought to the Ottoman lands because of attempts to receive more gold for Cem's corpse.
The many illustrations in the book are the first accurately described representations in Western Europe of costumes and weapons of the Turkish people.
The book strives for historical accuracy and was translated into Turkish, German, Rumanian, Polish, Russian, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, French, Estonian, Greek and Croatian.
At higher magnetic fields (above Hc1 and below Hc2) the superconductor allows magnetic flux to enter in quantized packets surrounded by a superconducting current vortex (see Quantum vortex).
The number of flux tubes per unit area is proportional to the magnetic field with a constant of proportionality equal to the magnetic flux quantum.
On a simple 76 millimeter diameter, 1-micrometer thick disk, next to a magnetic field of 28 kA/m, there are approximately 100 billion flux tubes that hold 70,000 times the superconductor's weight.
This phenomenon is closely related to the Meissner effect, though with one crucial difference — the Meissner effect shields the superconductor from all magnetic fields causing repulsion, unlike the pinned state of the superconductor disk which pins flux, and the superconductor in place.
SQUID magnetometers suffer reduced precision in a certain range of applied field due to flux creep in the superconducting magnet used to bias the sample, and the maximum field strength of high-temperature superconducting magnets is drastically reduced by the depression in critical field.
The Federal University of Rio de Janeiro has also been developing a flux pinning-based MagLev system called , which aims for a smaller form factor than existing urban rail systems.
The .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) or .45 Auto (11.43×23mm) is a handgun cartridge designed by John Moses Browning in 1904, for use in his prototype Colt semi-automatic pistol.
During the late 1890s and early 20th century, the U.S. Cavalry began trials to replace their sidearm arsenal of issued .45 Colt Single Action Army (SAA) in favor of the more modern and versatile double-action revolver in .45 Colt.
It was eventually evaluated that the .38-caliber round was significantly less effective in overall stopping-power than the .45 Colt against determined opponents in cases such as the Moro juramentado warriors, who were encountered in the Moro Rebellion.
This experience, and the Thompson–LaGarde Tests of 1904, led the Army and the Cavalry to decide a minimum of .45 caliber was required in a new handgun.
Thompson and Major Louis Anatole La Garde of the Medical Corps arranged tests on cadavers and animal remains in the Chicago stockyards, resulting in the finding that .45 was the most effective pistol cartridge.
They noted, however, training was critical to make sure a soldier could score a hit in a vulnerable part of the body.
Colt had been working with Browning on a .41 caliber cartridge in 1904, and in 1905, when the Cavalry asked for a .45 caliber equivalent, Colt modified the pistol design to fire an enlarged version of the prototype .41 round.
The original round that passed the testing fired a 200 grain (13 g) bullet at 900 ft/s (275 m/s), but after a number of rounds of revisions between Winchester Repeating Arms, Frankford Arsenal, and Union Metallic Cartridge, it ended up using a 230 grain (14.9 g) bullet fired at a nominal velocity of 850 ft/s (260 m/s).
The resulting .45-caliber cartridge, named the .45 ACP, was similar in performance to the .45 Schofield cartridge, and only slightly less powerful (but significantly shorter) than the .45 Colt cartridges the Cavalry was using.
DWM, which submitted two Parabellums chambered in .45 ACP, withdrew from testing after the first round of tests, for unspecified reasons.
In the second round of evaluations in 1910, the Colt design passed the extensive testing with no failures, while the Savage design suffered 37 stoppages or parts failures.
Other US military cartridges include: tracer M26 (red tip), blank M1921 (rolled crimp, red paper wad), M12 and M15 shot shells, and M9 dummy (holes in case).
The cartridge was designed by John Browning for Colt, but the most influential person in selecting the cartridge was Army Ordnance member Gen. John T. Thompson.
After the poor performance of the Army's .38 Long Colt pistols evidenced during the Philippine–American War (1899–1902), Thompson insisted on a more capable pistol cartridge.
According to Commission Internationale Permanente pour l'Epreuve des Armes à Feu Portatives rulings, the .45 ACP cartridge case can handle up to P piezo pressure.
In CIP-regulated countries every pistol cartridge combination has to be proofed at 130% of this maximum CIP pressure to certify for sale to consumers.
It has relatively low muzzle blast and flash, and it produces a stout, but manageable recoil in handguns, made worse in compact models.
The standard issue military .45 ACP round has a 230-grain bullet that travels at approximately 830 feet per second when fired from the government issue M1911A1 pistol and approximately 950 feet per second from the M1A1 Thompson submachine gun.
It operates at a relatively low maximum chamber pressure rating of 21,000 psi (145 MPa) (compared to 35,000 psi/241 MPa for 9mm Parabellum and .40 S&W, 37,500 psi/259 MPa for 10mm Auto, 40,000 psi/276 MPa for .357 SIG), which due to a low bolt thrust helps extend service life of weapons in which it is used.
In its non-expanding full metal jacket (FMJ) version, the .45 ACP cartridge has a reputation for effectiveness against human targets because its heavy mass has the capacity to penetrate tissue deeply and damage the central nervous system, and its large 11.5mm diameter creates a more substantial permanent wound channel than other calibers, which can lower blood pressure rapidly if critical organs of the circulatory system are hit.
In tests against ballistic gelatin, a 185 grain hollow point traveling at 1,050 feet per second expanded to about .76 inches.
While slightly decreasing penetration and likewise the chance of hitting a vital organ, a large diameter wound will cause more blood loss.
There is also a reduced likelihood of overpenetration, meaning that it is more likely that the projectile will transfer all of its kinetic energy to the intended target, thus more reliably incapacitating them.
Drawbacks for military use include the cartridge's large size, weight, increased material costs in comparison to the smaller, flatter shooting NATO standard 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge, which uses less powder, brass, and lead per round.
Standard 9mm NATO ammunition has limited armor penetration capability − a deficiency with .45 ACP whose large, slow bullet does not penetrate armor to any great extent.
The low muzzle velocity also makes the bullet drop over long ranges, making hits more difficult; however, it is important to note that the vast majority of self-defense situations involving handguns typically occur at close ranges.
Recent testing of the three major police and military calibers by the Federal Bureau of Investigation found that the .45 ACP was no more effective with regard to terminal ballistics than either 9 x 19mm Parabellum or .40 S&W.
After two years of testing, one of the final FBI comments was that services that adopt (or stay with .40 S&W or .45 ACP) did so at the risk of increased recoil and a possible reduction in accuracy as 9 x 19mm with premium quality ammunition had nearly exactly the same performance.
Because of its large diameter and straight-walled design, the .45 ACP geometry is the highest power-per-pressure production, repeating round in existence.
Because of these inherent low pressures of the standard pressure round, however, compensators and brakes have little effect until +P and Super loads are utilized.
While high capacity firearms are available in .45 ACP, the greater length and diameter of the .45 ACP means that the grip of the pistol must be longer and wider than the grip of a comparable pistol of a smaller caliber; this increase in grip size can make the pistol difficult to use for shooters with smaller hands.
Today, most NATO militaries use sidearms chambered for the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge, but the effectiveness of the .45 ACP cartridge has ensured its continued popularity with large caliber sport shooters, especially in the United States.
In 1985, the .45 ACP M1911A1 pistol was replaced by the Beretta M9 9mm pistol as the main sidearm of the U.S. military, although select Special Operations units continue to use the M1911A1 or other .45 ACP pistols.
Because standard pressure .45 ACP rounds fired from handguns and submachine guns are inherently subsonic, it is one of the most powerful pistol calibers available for use in suppressed weapons since subsonic rounds are quieter than supersonic rounds.
Suppressors cannot act on a supersonic shock wave continuously generated by a bullet exceeding the speed of sound at ambient cold temperatures, as this shock wave is continuously produced throughout the entire flight path over which the bullet is supersonic, which extends long after it exits the barrel.
The downside to the use of .45 ACP in suppressed weapons is that increasing the diameter of the passage through a suppressor decreases the suppressor's efficiency; thus, while .45 ACP is among the most powerful suppressed pistol rounds, it is also one of the loudest.
Rounds are available from 68 grains to 300 grains (4.4 g to 16.5 g) with a common load being the standard military loading of a 230-grain (15 g) FMJ bullet (for comparison, the most common 9mm load is 115 grains (7.5 g), quite literally half the weight).
Specialty rounds are available in weights under 100 grains (6.5 g) and over 260 grains (16.8 g); popular rounds among reloaders and target shooters include 185-grain and 230-grain (12 g and 15 g) bullets.
Hollow-point rounds intended for maximum effectiveness against live targets are designed to expand upon impact with soft tissue, increasing the size of the permanent cavity left by the bullet as it passes through the target.
This ammunition was available to the United States Border Patrol as early as 1940 and was used through World War II for emergency signalling by downed United States Navy and Marine Corps air crew.
This means the cartridge is loaded to a higher maximum pressure level than the original SAAMI cartridge standard, generating higher velocity and more muzzle energy.
In the case of the .45 ACP, the new standard cartridge pressure is and the SAAMI .45 ACP +P standard is .
This is a common practice for updating older cartridges to match the better quality of materials and workmanship in modern firearms.
These cartridges have the same external dimensions as the standard-pressure cartridges and will chamber and fire in all firearms designed for the standard-pressure loadings.
The inner dimensions of the +P cartridge are different from the standard-pressure cartridge dimensions and thus allows for higher pressures to be safely achieved in the +P cartridge.
If +P loadings are used in firearms not specifically designed for them, they may cause damage to the weapon and injuries to the operator.
The Super is dimensionally identical to the .45 ACP; however, the cartridge carries a developer established pressure of and requires minor modification of firearms for use.
The Rowland operates at a developer established SAAMI and may only be used within a select group of firearms significantly modified for this purpose; the Rowland case is longer specifically to prevent it from being chambered in standard .45 ACP firearms.
The Super provides approximately 20% greater velocity than the .45 ACP +P; the Rowland approximately 40% greater velocity than the .45 ACP +P.
It was introduced in 1908 by Colt, for use in its new Colt Model 1908 pocket hammerless semi-automatic, and has been a popular self-defense cartridge ever since, seeing wide use in numerous handguns (typically smaller weapons).
Other names for .380 ACP include .380 Auto, 9mm Browning, 9mm Corto, 9mm Kurz, 9mm Short, 9×17mm and 9 mm Browning Court (which is the C.I.P.
The .380 ACP was designed to be truly rimless, with headspace on the case mouth instead of the rim for better accuracy.
These relatively low-powered designs were intended for blowback pistols which lacked a barrel locking mechanism, which is often required for any handgun firing a round more powerful than a .380.
Using blowback operation, the design can be simplified, and lowered in cost; a locking mechanism is unnecessary, since the mass of the slide and strength of the recoil spring are enough to absorb the recoil energy of the round, due to the round's relatively low bolt thrust.
A drawback of the blowback system is that it requires a certain amount of slide mass to counter the recoil of the round used.
The higher the power of the round, the heavier the slide assembly has to be in order for its inertia to safely absorb the recoil, meaning that a typical blowback pistol in a given caliber will be heavier than an equivalent recoil-operated weapon (alternatively, a very stiff spring will work, but will make operating the slide very difficult).
Blowback weapons can be made in calibers larger than .380 ACP, but the required weight of the slide and strength of the spring makes this an unpopular option.
Although the low power of the .380 ACP does not require a locking mechanism, there have been a number of locked-breech pistols chambered in .380 ACP, such as the Remington Model 51, Kel-Tec P3AT and Glock 42; all three being designed to be lighter than blowback-operated .380 ACP weapons.
In 1914, it was used by Gavrilo Princip to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophia, the event which is credited with starting World War I.
It was later adopted by the armies of at least five European nations as their standard pistol cartridge before World War II; Czechoslovakia (Vz.38), Hungary (FEMARU 37M), and Italy, all of whom used domestic designs, as well as The Netherlands and Yugoslavia, both of whom adopted the FN Model 1922.
It was also used extensively by Germany, who captured or purchased hundreds of thousands of pistols in this caliber during World War II.
The Italian Army used the Beretta M1934, but the Italian Air Force and Navy stuck with the 7.65mm/.32 ACP when they adopted the Beretta M1935.
While .380 ACP was considered to be a moderately powerful service pistol round before World War II when compared to the .32 ACP pistols it replaced, no nation retained it as a military service cartridge for very long after the war (when it was largely replaced by its more powerful 9×19mm Parabellum cousin).
It was widely used by police forces in Europe until at least the 1980s when more powerful 9×19mm handguns began to replace it in this market as well.
The .380 ACP is compact and light, but has a relatively short range and less stopping power than other modern pistol cartridges.
Even so, it remains a popular self-defense cartridge for shooters who want a lightweight pistol with manageable recoil and/or smaller pistol.
The most powerful weapon in the game, it causes major damage to most types of enemies and can clear an entire room of foes in one use.
The player is unaffected by the splash damage, which makes it possible to use the BFG 9000 safely in close quarters, unlike some of the other powerful weapons.
The BFG's internal game mechanics are two-fold: the actual projectile deals a huge amount of damage, but after that, a large dose of damage is dealt in a cone facing away from the player who fired the shot; this increases the weapon's devastating area-of-effect.
One peculiar quirk about the internal workings of the game code is that it remembers the direction the player fired the shot in, but not the position, meaning that the player is allowed to move far away even into an entirely different room, and still deal damage to whoever is in that room depending on the timing of the projectile's impact.

The .45 GAP (Glock Auto Pistol) or .45 Glock (11.43×19mm) pistol cartridge was designed by Ernest Durham, an engineer with CCI/Speer, at the request of firearms manufacturer Glock to provide a cartridge that would equal the power of the .45 ACP, have a stronger case head to reduce the possibility of case neck blowouts, and be shorter to fit in a more compact handgun.
The .45 GAP has the same diameter as the .45 ACP pistol cartridge but is slightly shorter, and uses a small-pistol primer instead of the large-pistol primer most commonly used in .45 ACP ammunition.
Since the .45 GAP has a much smaller cartridge volume than the .45 ACP, the desired pressure and resulting velocity needed to be achieved through powder selection alone.
Later development concluded that the .45 GAP could also fire projectiles, as does the .45 ACP; though this puts the .45 GAP cartridge to its limits.
The full-size Glock 37 pistol was introduced by Glock to use the .45 GAP cartridge and was followed by the compact Glock 38 and the subcompact Glock 39.
Magazines for the .45 GAP are of the same dimensions as those that the 9×19mm/.40 S&W/.357 SIG line of pistols use.
Initially, due to its acceptance by law enforcement and the popularity of subcompact handguns for concealed carry, a small number of manufacturers decided to produce pistols that were chambered in .45 GAP, but they no longer produce any pistols in that caliber.
Springfield Armory did make the XD Series (HS2000) in .45 GAP, and indeed it was the first commercially available pistol for it, but discontinued that chambering soon thereafter.
Modern law enforcement as a whole has gone away from .45-caliber weapons in favor of firearms chambered in .40 S&W and 9x19mm.
Three state law enforcement agencies have adopted the .45 GAP as a replacement for their current issue 9×19mm Parabellum (New York) or .40 S&W service handguns (South Carolina and Florida).
The New York State Police, (New York Police have recently completed the transition to 45 ACP for their duty round) South Carolina Highway Patrol, and Florida Highway Patrol have all adopted the Glock 37 and .45 GAP.
Smaller agencies also applied the .45 GAP for duty carry such as the Burden, Kansas, Police Department who carry the Glock 37 and serve a town of 535.
The Greenville, North Carolina, Police Department used the Glock 37, and the Berkeley, Missouri, Police Department also used the Glock 37, to name a few.
The Pennsylvania State Police also carried the Glock 37 from 2007, but, due to ammunition supply problems, replaced them in 2013 with the then-new fourth generation Glock 21 in .45 ACP.
After recall issues with the new fourth generation Glocks, the Pennsylvania State Police switched to the SIG-Sauer P227 in .45 ACP.
Buddhist texts were initially passed on orally by monks, but were later written down and composed as manuscripts in various Indo-Aryan languages which were then translated into other local languages as Buddhism spread.
These religious texts were written in many different languages and scripts but memorizing, reciting and copying the texts were of high value.
According to Donald Lopez, criteria for determining what should be considered buddhavacana (buddha word) were developed at an early stage, and that the early formulations do not suggest that Dharma is limited to what was spoken by the historical Buddha.
A number of different beings such as buddhas, disciples of the buddha, ṛṣis, and devas were considered capable to transmitting buddhavacana.
The content of such a discourse was then to be collated with the sūtras, compared with the Vinaya, and evaluated against the nature of the Dharma.
These texts may then be certified as true buddhavacana by a buddha, a saṃgha, a small group of elders, or one knowledgeable elder.
Some scholars believe that some portions of the Pali Canon and Agamas could contain the actual substance of the historical teachings (and possibly even the words) of the Buddha.
According to Venerable Hsuan Hua from the tradition of Chinese Buddhism, there are five types of beings who may speak the sutras of Buddhism: a buddha, a disciple of a buddha, a deva, a ṛṣi, or an emanation of one of these beings; however, they must first receive certification from a buddha that its contents are true Dharma.
However, the general view of what is and is not buddhavacana is broadly similar between East Asian Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism.
The Tibetan Kangyur, which belongs to the various schools of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism, in addition to containing sutras and vinaya, also contains tantras.
The earliest Buddhist texts were passed down orally in Middle Indo-Aryan languages called Prakrits, including Gāndhārī language, the early Magadhan language and Pali through the use of repetition, communal recitation and mnemonic devices.
The Pali canon was preserved in Sri Lanka where it was first written down in the first century BCE and the Theravadan Pali textual tradition developed there.
The Sri Lankan Pali tradition developed extensive commentaries (Atthakatha) as well as sub-commentaries for the Pali Canon as well as treatises on Abhidhamma.
The earliest known Buddhist manuscripts, recovered from the ancient civilization of Gandhara in north central Pakistan (near Taxila just south west of the capital Islamabad) are dated to the 1st century and constitute the Buddhist textual tradition of Gandharan Buddhism which was an important link between Indian and East Asian Buddhism.
Around the beginning of the Christian era, a new genre of sutra literature began to be written with a focus on the Bodhisattva idea, commonly known as Mahayana (great vehicle) sutras.
Many of the Mahayana sutras were written in Sanskrit and then translated into the Tibetan and Chinese Buddhist canons (the Kangyur and the Taishō Tripiṭaka respectively) which then developed their own textual histories.
The Mahayana sutras are traditionally considered by Mahayanists to be the word of the Buddha, but transmitted either in secret, via lineages of supernatural beings (such as the nagas), or revealed directly from other Buddhas or bodhisattvas.
In the Mahayana tradition there are important works termed Shastras, or treatises which attempt to outline the sutra teachings and defend or expand on them.
The late Seventh century saw the rise of another new class of Buddhist texts, the Tantras, which outlined new ritual practices and yogic techniques such as the use of Mandalas, Mudras and Fire sacrifices.
The division of texts into the traditional three yanas may obscure the process of development that went on, and there is some overlap in the traditional classifications.
Some Mahayana texts are also thought to display a distinctly tantric character, particularly some of the shorter Perfection of Wisdom sutras.
believed either composed or hidden by tantric masters and/or elementally secreted or encoded in the elements and retrieved, accessed or rediscovered by other tantric masters when appropriate.
Some termas are hidden in caves or similar places, but a few are said to be 'mind termas,' which are 'discovered' in the mind of the tertön.
Although many versions of the texts of the early Buddhist schools exist, the only complete collection of texts to survive in a Middle Indo-Aryan language is the Tipiṭaka (triple basket) of the Theravadin school.
The other (parts of) extant versions of the Tripitakas of early schools include the Āgamas, which includes texts by the Sarvastivada and the Dharmaguptaka.
The Chinese Buddhist canon contains a complete collection of early sutras in Chinese translation, their content is very similar to the Pali, differing in detail but not in the core doctrinal content.
There are, of course, those that discuss the monastic rules, how they came about, how they developed, and how they were applied.
Though the Theravādin Abhidhamma is well preserved and best known, a number of the early Eighteen Schools each had their own distinct Abhidharma collection with not very much common textual material, though sharing methodology.
phenomena) are ultimately real, which the Theravada Abhidhamma, for instance, insists, is thought to be an important factor in the origin of the Mahayana.
The Dhyāna sutras (Chan-jing) are a group of early Buddhist meditation texts which contain meditation teachings from the Sarvastivada school along with some early proto-Mahayana meditations.
Pali literature continued to be composed into the modern era, especially in Burma, and writers such as Mahasi Sayadaw translated some of their texts into Pali.
Burmese Buddhist literature developed unique poetic forms form the 1450s onwards, a major type of poetry is the pyui' long and embellished translations of Pali Buddhist works, mainly jatakas.
The nineteenth century saw a flowering of Burmese Buddhist literature in various genres including religious biography, Abhidharma, legal literature and meditation literature.
They do not contain an elaborate philosophical argument, but simply try to point to the true nature of reality, especially through the use of paradox.
The basic premise is a radical non-dualism, in which every and any dichotomist way of seeing things is denied: so phenomena are neither existent, nor non-existent, but are marked by sunyata, emptiness, an absence of any essential unchanging nature.
Probably composed in its earliest form in the period 100 bce–100 ce, the sutra proposes that the three yanas (Shravakayana, Pratyekabuddhayana, and Bodhisattvayana) are not in fact three different paths leading to three goals, but one path, with one goal.
Notable for the (re)appearance of the Buddha Prabhutaratna, who had died several aeons earlier, because it suggests that a Buddha is not inaccessible after his parinirvana, and also that his life-span is said to be inconceivably long because of the accumulation of merit in past lives.
They list the forty-eight vows made by Amitabha as a bodhisattva by which he undertook to build a Pure Land where beings are able to practise the Dharma without difficulty or distraction.
The sutras state that beings can be reborn there by pure conduct and by practices such as thinking continuously of Amitabha, praising him, recounting his virtues, and chanting his name.
These Pure Land sutras and the practices they recommend became the foundations of Pure Land Buddhism, which focus on the salvific power of faith in the vows of Amitabha.
Composed in its earliest form some time before 150 CE, the Bodhisattva Vimalakirti appears in the guise of a layman in order to teach the Dharma.
Doctrinally similar to the Perfection of Wisdom texts, a major theme is the Buddhafield (Buddha-kshetra), which was influential on Pure Land schools.
Amongst the very earliest Mahayana texts, the Samadhi Sutras are a collection of sutras focused on the attainment of profound states of consciousness reached in meditation, perhaps suggesting that meditation played an important role in early Mahayana.
It is this Buddha nature, Buddha Essence or Buddha Principle, this aspect of every being that is itself already enlightened, that enables beings to be liberated.
The Tathagatagarbha doctrine was very influential in East Asian Buddhism, and the idea in one form or another can be found in most of its schools.
These include a number of sutras that focus on actions that lead to existence in the various spheres of existence, or that expound the doctrine of the twelve links of pratitya-samutpada or dependent-origination.
This is a large number of sutras that describe the nature and virtues of a particular Buddha or Bodhisattva and/or their Pure Land, including Mañjusri, Ksitigarbha, the Buddha Akshobhya, and Bhaishajyaguru also known as the Medicine Buddha.
However, the sutra also has an Arahant seeing all the Buddha fields, it is said that reciting the name of the sutra will save beings from suffering and the hell realms, and a meditative practice is described that allows the practitioner to see with the eyes of a Buddha, and to receive teachings from them that are very much typical of Mahayana Sutras.
It's authorship to Nagarjuna however has been questioned by modern scholars and it only survives in the Chinese translation by Kumārajīva (344–413 CE) .
Unlike the Da zhidu lun, it was studied and transmitted in both the East Asian Buddhist and the Tibetan Buddhist traditions.
Shantideva also produced the Shikshasamuccaya, which is a compendium of doctrines from a huge range of Mahayana Sutras – some of which no longer exist and therefore are known only through his quotes.
Dignāga is associated with a school of Buddhist logic that tried to establish which texts were valid sources of knowledge (see also Epistemology).
The early period of the development of Chinese Buddhism was concerned with the collection and translation of texts into Chinese and the creation of the Chinese Buddhist canon.
The Tripitaka Koreana, which was crafted in two versions (the first one was destroyed by fire during the Mongol invasions of Korea), is a Korean collection of the Tripitaka carved onto 81,258 wooden printing blocks during the 13th century.
After the arrival of Chinese Buddhism in Japan, Korea and Vietnam; they developed their own traditions and literature in the local language.
They are considered to be the word of the Buddha (Buddhavacana), and the Tibetan Kangyur contains translations of almost 500 tantras.
This is a small class of texts that probably emerged after the 6th century and are entirely centred on the worship of the Buddha Vairocana.
The Shurangama Sutra and the Shurangama Mantra from which it (called the Shitatapatra Ushnisha Dharani) comes can be included in this category.
The primary wrathful Goddess of the Shurangamma Mantra tantric practice is the Great White Umbrella Deity form of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, an important practice in Tibetan Buddhism.
Textual evidence suggests that some of these texts are in fact Shaivite Tantras adopted and adapted to Buddhist purposes, and many similarities in iconography and ritual can be seen in them.
A sadhana is a tantric spiritual practices text used by practitioners, primarily to practice the mandala or a particular yidam, or meditation deity.
Padmasambhava and Yeshe Tsogyal wrote and hid most termas, although texts have also been hidden by figures such as Machig Labdron.
Namtar, or spiritual biographies, are another popular form of Tibetan Buddhist texts, whereby the teachings and spiritual path of a practitioner are explained through a review of their lifestory.
Greatest Hits (titled on the back cover as Greatest Hits 87-92) is the second greatest hits album by Australian-born singer Kylie Minogue.
The release ruffled some feathers in the Kylie camp, in particular the cover which depicts a supposed look-alike dressed in her underwear.
An 'official' cover, designed by Kylie and her team was made available to download from her website and was also given away free inside copies of Heat magazine.
A version of the compilation titled Best Of was also released in France, but withdrawn from sale on day of release.
When in use, a beam of light enters face AB, is refracted and undergoes total internal reflection from face BC, and is refracted again on exiting face AC.
The prism is designed such that one particular wavelength of the light exits the prism at a deviation angle (relative to the light's original path) of exactly 60°.
By rotating the prism (in the plane of the diagram) around any point O on the face AB, the wavelength which is deviated by 60° can be selected.
The systemic pulse pressure is approximately proportional to stroke volume, or the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle during systole (pump action) and inversely proportional to the compliance (similar to Elasticity) of the aorta.
The aorta has the highest compliance in the arterial system due in part to a relatively greater proportion of elastin fibers versus smooth muscle and collagen.
This serves the important function of damping the pulsatile (max pump pressure) output of the left ventricle, thereby reducing the initial systolic pulse pressure but slightly raising the subsequent diastolic phase (a period rather similar to Dwell time).
If the aorta becomes rigid because of disorders such as arteriosclerosis or atherosclerosis, the pulse pressure would be very high because the aorta becomes less compliant due to the formation of rigid lesions to the (otherwise flexible) aorta wall.
The pulse pressure increases with exercise due to increased stroke volume, healthy values being up to pulse pressures of about 100 mmHg, simultaneously as total peripheral resistance drops during exercise.
This behavior facilitates a much greater increase in stroke volume and cardiac output at a lower mean arterial pressure and enables much greater aerobic capacity and physical performance.
The diastolic drop reflects a much greater fall in total peripheral resistance of the muscle arterioles in response to the exercise (a greater proportion of red versus white muscle tissue).
Individuals with larger BMIs due to increased muscle mass (body builders) have also been shown to have lower diastolic pressures and larger pulse pressures.
If the usual resting pulse pressure is consistently greater than 100 mmHg, the most likely basis is stiffness of the major arteries, aortic regurgitation (a leak in the aortic valve), arteriovenous malformation (an extra path for blood to travel from a high pressure artery to a low pressure vein without the gradient of a capillary bed), hyperthyroidism or some combination.
While some drugs for hypertension have the side effect of increasing resting pulse pressure irreversibly, other antihypertensive drugs, such as ACE Inhibitors, have been shown to lower pulse pressure.
A high resting pulse pressure is harmful and tends to accelerate the normal aging of body organs, particularly the heart, the brain and kidneys.
A high pulse pressure combined with bradycardia and an irregular breathing pattern is associated with increased intracranial pressure and should be reported to a physician immediately.
This is known as Cushing's triad and can be seen in patients after head trauma related to intracranial hemorrhage or edema.
A meta-analysis in 2000, which combined the results of several studies of 8,000 elderly patients in all, found that a 10 mm Hg increase in pulse pressure increased the risk of major cardiovascular complications and mortality by nearly 20%.
The authors of the meta-analysis suggest that this helps to explain the apparent increase in risk sometimes associated with low diastolic pressure, and warn that some medications for high blood pressure may actually increase the pulse pressure and the risk of heart disease.
If the patient suffers from elevated pulse pressure, treatment may include medications that address this factor, such as an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor).
A 2005 study found that 5 mg of folate (Vitamin B9) daily over a three-week period reduced pulse pressure by 4.7 mm of Hg compared with a placebo, and concluded that folic acid is an effective supplement that targets large artery stiffness and may prevent isolated systolic hypertension.
A longer-term (2 year) study in 158 clinically healthy siblings of patients with premature atherothrombotic disease also found an effect of folic acid (5 mg) plus pyridoxine (Vitamin B6, 250 mg) on pulse pressure, but the effect was not independent of mean arterial blood pressure, and there was no effect on common carotid artery stiffness.
After his parents divorced, his mother married Eugene Addis, a Miami Beach police officer with five sons, and moved Rourke, his younger brother (Joey), and their sister (Patricia) to South Florida.
At age 12, Rourke won his first boxing match as a flyweight, fighting some of his early matches under the name Phil Rourke.
Rodriguez was the number one–rated middleweight boxer in the world and was training for his match with world champion Nino Benvenuti.
From 1964 to 1973, Rourke compiled an amateur boxing record of 27 wins (including 12 straight knockouts) and 3 defeats, which included a first-round knockout win over John Carver and decision victories over Ronnie Carter and Javier Villanueva.
Borrowing $400 from his sister, he moved to New York, working an assortment of odd jobs while studying with Actors Studio alumni Walter Lott and Sandra Seacat.
During his boxing career, Rourke suffered a number of injuries, including a broken nose, toe, and ribs, a split tongue, and a compressed cheekbone.
Rourke's boxing career resulted in a notable physical change in the 1990s, as his face needed reconstructive surgery to mend his injuries.
The opponent later stated that he threw the fight, having been promised payment to take a dive in the second round.
He trained under former WWE wrestler Afa the Wild Samoan for the part, and has received a BAFTA award, a Golden Globe award, an Independent Spirit Award, and an Oscar nomination as Best Actor.
Rourke was pessimistic about his chances to win the Oscar, as he had burned many bridges in Hollywood as a result of his past behavior.
Though he had little screen time, his performance was met with rave reviews and cited as one of the film's highlights.
Just before the end of the year, he confirmed on a British TV talk show that he would play Gareth Thomas in an upcoming film about the Welsh rugby star who came out as gay the previous year.
Doherty, a Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) member, was wanted by UK authorities for his part in an ambush using an M60 machine gun which killed a member of Britain's elite Special Air Service in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1980.
Doherty was later arrested and charged for his part in the attack but escaped with seven other prisoners after holding a prison officer hostage and engaging in a shoot-out with members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary.
He also expressed his astonishment that Islamic fundamentalists were allowed to continue their activities in the UK after the 7 July 2005 London bombings.
In August 2014, Rourke came under scrutiny for purchasing and wearing a T-shirt bearing the likeness of Russian President Vladimir Putin at a time when most of the Western world was criticizing and sanctioning Russia for its violations of Ukrainian sovereignty.
A spay/neuter advocate, Rourke participated in a protest outside a pet shop in 2007 and has done a public service announcement for PETA.
The ones that are here, the ones that aren't here anymore because sometimes when a man's alone, that's all you got is your dog.
At the time of his Golden Globes tribute to his pets, Rourke owned five chihuahuas: Loki, Jaws, Ruby Baby, La Negra and Bella Loca.
He also appeared in a Japanese TV commercial for Suntory Reserve (early '90s) and a commercial for Daihatsu and Lark cigarettes.
Rourke's portrayal of Marcinko was a source of humorous praise from a few critics (although many others criticized Rourke's role to the same degree that they did every other aspect of the game).
or 9×22mm in unofficial metric notation) is the product of Swiss-German firearms manufacturer SIG Sauer, in cooperation with ammunition manufacturer Federal Cartridge.
Other than specialized competition cartridges like the 9×25mm Dillon (1988), which necked a 10mm Auto case down to a 9 mm bullet, the .357 SIG (1994) was the first modern bottleneck commercial handgun cartridge since the early 1960s, when Winchester introduced a .257 caliber round based on the .357 Magnum, the now obsolete .256 Winchester Magnum (1960).
Then Remington introduced the unsuccessful .22 Remington Jet (1961), which necked a .357 Magnum case down to a .22 caliber bullet, and the .221 Remington Fireball (1963), a shortened version of their .222 Remington.
Soon after the .357 SIG, other bottleneck commercial handgun cartridges appeared: the .400 Corbon (1996), necking the .45 ACP down to .40 caliber; the .440 Corbon (1998), necking down the .50 AE to .44 caliber; the .32 NAA (2002), necking the .380 ACP down to .32 caliber; and the .25 NAA (2004), necking the .32 ACP down to .25 caliber.
Due to its expense, as .357 SIG practice ammo is about twice the cost of 9mm and around 50% more than .40 S&W, .357 SIG never achieved widespread adoption like .40 S&W.
The common rifling twist rate for this cartridge is 406 mm (1 in 16 in), 6 grooves, Ø lands=8.71 mm, Ø grooves=9.02 mm, land width=2.69 mm and the primer type is small pistol.
This is due to the cartridge having been originally designed as a .357 (9.02mm) round, but then rapidly adapted to the .355 (9mm) bullet.
(Commission Internationale Permanente Pour L'Epreuve Des Armes A Feu Portatives) 2008 revised documents, the .357 SIG headspaces on the case mouth (H2).
However, the cartridge and chamber drawing in the ANSI/SAAMI American National Standards also clearly shows the cartridge headspacing on the cartridge mouth.
While it is based on a .40 S&W case necked down to accept bullets, the .357 SIG cartridge case is slightly longer than .40 S&W by to total.
Most .40 S&W pistols can be converted to .357 SIG by replacing the barrel, but sometimes the recoil spring must also be changed.
and the SAAMI pressure limits for .40 S&W are 225 MPa and 35,000 psi), and may not be suitable for use in all .40 S&W-chambered pistols due to the increase in bolt thrust.
Loads are available with energies from to , and penetration depths from to over are available for various applications and risk assessments.
Because of its relatively high velocity for a handgun round, the .357 SIG has an unusually flat trajectory, extending the effective range.
The Virginia State Police has reported that attacking dogs have been stopped dead in their tracks by a single shot, whereas the former 147 grain 9 mm duty rounds would require multiple shots to incapacitate the animals.
Proponents of the hydrostatic shock theory contend that the energy available in the .357 SIG is sufficient for imparting hydrostatic shock with well-designed bullets.
This is because the bullet is channeled through the larger chamber before being seated entirely as the slide goes into full battery.
Flat point bullets are seldom used with other autoloader firearms because of feeding problems; however, such bullets are commonly seen in the .357 SIG chambering and are quite reliable, as are hollow-point bullets.
The goal of the .357 SIG project was to offer a level of performance equal to the highly effective .357 Magnum load.
Measurements of standard factory .357 SIG cartridges loaded with bullets showed approximate muzzle velocities of out of a barrel, which is essentially identical to the .357 Magnum with the same bullet weight and barrel length.
These measurements were performed with a Thompson Center Encore 1842 break-action, single-shot pistol/rifle, preventing differing barrel length definitions between semi-automatic pistols and revolvers giving revolvers a potential muzzle velocity advantage.
This simple approach to recoil is incomplete since the properties of the bullet alone do not determine the felt recoil, but also the rocket-like blast of propellant gases coming out of the barrel after the bullet leaves the muzzle.
A more accurate view on recoil is that it is proportional to the mass of all ejecta × velocity of ejecta.
Of course, other considerations affect the user's perceived recoil, such as the weight of the weapon, front to back balance, moving mass, height difference between the shooter's grip parallel to the barrel, and grip.
In comparing the energy levels of premium self-defense ammunition, the muzzle energy of of the .357 SIG load is greater than either the generated by a Speer GoldDot .40 S&W load or the generated by a Speer GoldDot .40 S&W load.
Like the 10mm Auto, the .357 SIG can be down-loaded to reduce recoil to the point where recoil is similar to that of a 9×19mm Parabellum.
However, since the .357 SIG uses bullets that are generally the same as those used in the 9 mm Para, downloading it to this point would defeat the purpose of fielding the SIG cartridge, as the .357 SIG casing was designed to handle up to 160 gr bullets whereas the less-powerful 9mm maxes out at 147 gr bullet weight in subsonic loads.
Because the .357 SIG fires at relatively high pressures, muzzle flash and report can be significant with standard loads, even with longer barrels.
Many police departments who have utilized the .357 SIG round found that the flash was so significant that night vision was affected.
In 1994, Sig released the P229 pistol, the first production handgun introduced that was chambered in .357 SIG and specifically designed to handle the higher pressures of that round.
From 1991 to 1998, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) issued either the SIG Sauer P220 in .45 ACP or the SIG Sauer P226 in 9mm Parabellum at the Trooper's discretion.
In 1998, the Texas DPS transitioned to the all-steel, full-sized (34.0 oz) SIG Sauer P226 chambered in the .357 SIG cartridge as the sole choice of pistol for commissioned officers.
In doing so, the Texas DPS became the first government agency to deploy a firearm utilizing the then relatively new .357 SIG chambering.
The ability to carry more rounds per magazine (9mm vs. .357 SIG) in a lighter gun were among the stated reasons for the change.
That transition was suspended after recruits in the A-2014 class, the first to train with the new S&W M&P 9mm polymer handguns, experienced numerous malfunctions with those weapons.
The Bedford Heights Police Department in Ohio has issued the gen3 Glock 31/32/33 since 2008 and are currently testing gen4 Glock 31s.
The Elloree Police Department in South Carolina also issues the Glock 31 in .357 SIG, and the Madison Police Department in Madison, WV issues the Glock 32 in .357 SIG.
Both the New Mexico State Police and the North Carolina State Highway Patrol use SIG Sauer P229s chambered in .357 SIG.
In July 2014 it was announced that the North Carolina State Highway Patrol will equip its 1,600 officers with the SIG Sauer P226 in .357 SIG.
Ottawa, Kansas Police Department carried the Glock 31 .357 SIG, but has since moved to the Glock 17 GEN 4 9mm.
In 2003 the Pennsylvania Game Commission began issuing its Game Wardens Glock 31 gen3 pistols chambered in .357 SIG, but in late 2019 will be transitioning to Glock 31 gen4 chambered in the same caliber.
The Barcelona Metro (Catalan and Spanish: ) is an extensive network of rapid transit electrified railway lines that run mostly underground in central Barcelona and into the city's suburbs.
It is part of the larger public transport system of Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, with unified fares under the (ATM) scheme.
Two lines, L9 and L10 are being built at present, with both lines having different sections of each opened between 2009 and 2016.
Three lines on the network have opened as automatic train operation/driverless vehicle systems since 2009: Line 11, Line 9 and Line 10, in chronological order.
This third one was built between the Plaça de Catalunya and la Bordeta to link the city centre with the Plaça d'Espanya and Montjuïc, the site of the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition.
Today the network consists of 12 lines managed by 2 different operators: Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) and Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC, or Catalan Government Railways).
Fares and nomenclature are controlled by the Autoritat del Transport Metropolità, a citywide system that also includes local and regional buses, tramways and some commuter and regional train services.
The major network, operated by TMB, consists of eight lines, numbered L1 to L5 and L9 to L11 (which are distinguished on network maps by different colours), covering of route and 141 stations.
The Barcelona Metro lines do not have a name of their own but are generally referred to by their colour or by the number and the names of their termini.
In addition to those, Renfe and FGC trains and the increasingly important Trambaix and Trambesòs routes and stations are displayed on most recent maps, including the info maps in the metro stations, all in a single variety of dark green.
Construction work is taking place currently on L9/L10, which will run from Badalona and Santa Coloma de Gramenet to the Zona Franca district and El Prat International Airport.
The lines, which share a central section between Bon Pastor and Torrassa (L1), will be the longest automated metro line in Europe, at , and will have 52 stations.
The project was approved in 2000 but has been challenged by some technical difficulties and some of their sections are pending further geological analysis.
The first section of Line 9 that runs between La Sagrera and Can Zam opened in 2009, and by June 2010 eleven new stations on the new Lines L9 and L10 had opened.
At the end of 2018, there are currently 187 operational stations in the Barcelona Metro, served by the 12 lines in current use.
An overwhelming majority of stations in the network lack related buildings or structures aboveground, mostly consisting of an access with stairs, escalators or elevators.
The official TMB metro indicator, a red rhombus with a M inside, remains unused by FGC lines, which use their company logo and a different rhombus-shaped logo (actually rather similar to the one used inside the Madrid Metro) inside stations.
A number of stations in the network have been closed, were never inaugurated, or have been moved to a nearby location.
A project of improvements is gradually adding more lifts from street level to ticket office level and then from ticket office level to the platforms, though some stations remain without access.
FGC is developing Sabadell Metro and Terrassa Metro as extensions of its network in the large cities of Sabadell and Terrassa respectively.
It was introduced as Section 11 of the Air Corps Act, passed by the Congress of the United States on July 2, 1926.
A need to recognize acts of heroism in 1922 resulted in the War Department's issuing orders for acts of bravery during peacetime.
The Secretary of War directed that the Quartermaster General prepare and submit appropriate designs of the Soldier's Medal per letter signed by The Adjutant General dated 11 August 1926.
The first Soldier's Medals were awarded on October 17, 1927 to John F. Burns and James P. Martin for their heroism during a fire and to James K. Wilson and Cleophas C. Burnett for saving people from drowning.
The Soldier's Medal is considered to be equivalent to the Navy and Marine Corps Medal, Coast Guard Medal, and Airman's Medal which was authorized on 10 August 1956 to replace the Soldier's Medal awarded to U.S. Air Force personnel by the Army since 26 September 1947.
It is the highest honor a soldier can receive for an act of valor in a non-combat situation, held to be equal to or greater than the level which would have justified an award of the Distinguished Flying Cross had the act occurred in combat.
Any enlisted American servicemember who is eligible for retirement pay will receive an increase of 10 percent in retirement pay, if the level of valor was equal to that which would earn the Distinguished Service Cross.
Additional awards of the medal are denoted by oak leaf clusters worn on the suspension and service ribbon of the medal.
The bronze medal is issued as a 1 3/8 inch wide Bronze octagon with an eagle displayed, standing on a fasces, between two groups of stars of six and seven, above the group of six a spray of leaves.
The ribbon is 1 3/8 inches wide and consists of the following stripes: 3/8 inch Ultramarine Blue 67118 on each side and the center containing 13 White and Red stripes of equal width (7 White 67101 and 6 Old Glory Red 67156).
The band toured on both side of the Atlantic many times, including headline tours and support tours with Bush, Live, Linkin Park, and Iggy Pop.
The Voice of Russia (), commonly abbreviated VOR, was the Russian government's international radio broadcasting service from 1993 until 2014, when it was reorganised as Radio Sputnik.
Until 2005, the programme was presented by Joe Adamov, who was known for his command of the English language and his good humour.
Several reports published in 2013 claimed that The Voice of Russia was to cease its shortwave radio service as of 1 January 2014 due to budget cuts.
The service had continued to be available worldwide via the internet, in selected regions on satellite, and in several cities on FM, AM (in North America) or local digital radio.
On 10 November 2014, The Voice of Russia was replaced by Radio Sputnik, part of the Sputnik News multimedia platform operated by Rossiya Segodnya.
The Voice of Russia had broadcast in short, medium and longwave formats, in DAB+, Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM), HD Radio, as well as through cable, satellite transmission, and in mobile networks.
A digital stamp in crafting, stamping, card making and scrapbooking is a digital image printed onto paper from the user's printer.
Digital stamps offer many advantages over traditional rubber stamps because of their ability to be flipped, resized, rotated and easily stored.
In addition, digital stamps can be printed on a variety of papers and cardstocks, and when properly heat sealed can be used with a variety of coloring mediums including colored pencil, copic markers, even watercolors.
A digital stamp, in mail or philately, is similar to a conventional postage stamp except it is resident on or in a computer.
Paper/hard copies of documents continue to be popular because they can be signed/initialed/remarked on in a manner that is unique and traceable to the reviewer.
A digital stamp seeks to duplicate or replace this and enable a paperless exchange of information that still manages to have a verifiable comment and review.
The school sends many students to the best universities and colleges in Japan, including the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University and other public and private schools.
The school is well known in Japan for its baseball team, which usually participates in and frequently wins the Koshien Tournament for high school baseball.
The school celebrated the 20th anniversary of its exchange program with St Leonards College in November 2007, and with Thomas Jefferson in 2013.
Augusta Hall, Baroness Llanover (21 March 1802 – 17 January 1896), born Augusta Waddington, was a Welsh heiress, best known as a patron of the Welsh arts.
He was created a baronet in 1838, and entered the House of Lords in 1859 under Prime Minister Palmerston as Baron Llanover.
Her sister, Frances, had previously married a German ambassador to Great Britain, Baron Bunsen, whose social circle was also interested in Celtic subjects and culture.
She structured her household at Llanover Hall on what she considered to be Welsh traditions and gave all her staff Welsh titles and Welsh costume to wear.
Her husband shared her concern for the preservation of the heritage of Wales, and campaigned for the Welsh to be able to hear church services conducted in the Welsh language.
She probably commissioned a series of watercolours of Welsh costumes which illustrate costumes worn by women in south Wales and Cardiganshire, 13 of which were reproduced as hand-coloured prints soon after 1834 (but were not published with the essay).
These were little more than fashion prints for herself and friends to create dresses for themselves and their servants to be worn on special occasions, especially fancy dress balls.
She did encourage the production of traditional stripes and checks in woollen cloth and offered prizes for good examples of these at Eisteddfodau, but there were few entrants, with the weaver of Gwenfrwd mill, on her own estate, taking many of the prizes.
Her other interests included cookery ('The First Principles of Good Cookery' published in 1867) and folk music; she encouraged the production and use of the traditional Welsh triple harp, employing a resident harpist at Llanover Hall.
She was a patron of the Welsh Manuscripts Society, of the Welsh Collegiate Institution at Llandovery, funded the compilation of a Welsh dictionary by Daniel Silvan Evans.
She bought Welsh manuscripts of Taliesin Williams, Taliesin ab Iolo and the collection of Iolo Morganwg (Edward Williams) (now held in the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff).
Another main interest of hers was the temperance movement to which end she closed all the public houses on her estate, sometimes opening a modest temperance inn in their place, such as Y Seren Gobaith ('the Star of Hope') temperance inn, which replaced the Red Lion at Llanellen.
Closely associated with her temperance work was religion in the form of militant Protestantism and she endowed two Calvinistic Methodist churches in the Abercarn area, with services conducted in the Welsh language, but a liturgy based on the Book of Common Prayer.
Only one of their daughters survived to adulthood: Augusta, who in 1846 married Arthur Jones of Llanarth, of an old Roman Catholic family.
Hall, who was educated at Westminster School and Christ Church, Oxford and was admitted to the bar in Lincoln's Inn in 1801.
In December of that year he married Charlotte the daughter of Ironmaster Richard Crawshay, becoming a partner in the Cyfarthfa Ironworks and owner of Hensol Castle and the Abercarn estate.
He was the first great industrialist to enter Parliament serving as MP for Totnes from 1806 to 1812, for Westbury from 1812 to 1814, and for Glamorganshire from then until his death.
As soon as he was elected MP for Glamorgan he was admitted a Freemason and promoted to Provincial Grand Master of South Wales.
Hall's son was Benjamin Hall, 1st Baron Llanover, a civil engineer and politician who as Commissioner of Works was notable for the construction of the Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster.
Programmed Airline Reservations System (PARS) is an IBM proprietary large scale airline reservation application, a computer reservations system, executing under the control of IBM Airline Control Program (ACP) (and later its successor, Transaction Processing Facility (TPF)).
By the 1960s, with the American Airlines SABRE reservations system up and running, IBM offered its expertise to other airlines, and soon developed Deltamatic for Delta Air Lines on the IBM 7074, and PANAMAC for Pan American World Airways using an IBM 7080.
By 1967/8 IBM generalized its airline reservations work into the PARS system, which ran on the larger members of the IBM System/360 family and which could support the largest airlines' needs at that time (e.g.
In the early 1970s IBM modified its PARS reservations system so it could accommodate the smaller regional airlines on smaller members of the 370 systems family.
In the early days of automated reservations systems in the 1960s and 1970s the combination of ACP and PARS provided unprecedented scale and performance from an on-line real-time system, and for a considerable period ranked among the largest networks and systems of the era.
In the early 1970s major US banks were developing major on-line teleprocessing applications systems and were in urgent need of ACP's high performance capabilities.
This system was used by the great majority of large airlines in the US and internationally; and its smaller 1970's version was used by many smaller regional airlines.
PARS (and IPARS) was extremely successful, and it massively improved and revolutionized the efficiency of airlines passenger operations and their profitability.
However, when she finished in 1984, she decided to focus her attention on Drama, attending the University of Windsor School of Dramatic Arts in Windsor, Ontario.
Karl Buechner (born December 23, 1970) is an American musician from Syracuse, New York, best known as the frontman for the metalcore band Earth Crisis.
In the mid- to late 1990s, Buechner attained a great popularity within the hardcore music scene as the frontman of Earth Crisis due to their outspoken advocacy for the straight edge and vegan lifestyles.
In his early teens, Buechner got into punk rock through his cousin and skateboarding, becoming a fan of bands such as the Dead Kennedys and Subhumans, as well as having traveled to other cities to participate in skate competitions.
Many of Buechner' skater friends started using drugs and alcohol, one of whom died while others were progressively affected, which motivated him to become straight edge.
His and other Earth Crisis members' families also suffered from tragedies and random acts of violence at the time, including robberies.
He became a pescetarian at the age of sixteen after his sister handed him a PETA magazine with photographs of caged animals in a slaughterhouse.
He attended college to become a history teacher with the intention of supporting a career in music or sports, but left it after two years when Earth Crisis was signed by Victory Records.
He kept the idea of the group alive and continued writing songs, restarting them in 1991 as the new vocalist and releasing five further albums.
In early 2001, he began singing for Freya (formatively titled Nemesis and End Begins after EC songs) with two members of Earth Crisis plus two other members.
They were named for the Norse goddess of fertility and their lyrics took inspiration from history, mythology and more personal issues, without addressing veganism or straight edge directly because not all members follow the lifestyles.
Since 2008, he is the frontman of the supergroup Vehement Serenade along with Mike Couls (Cro-Mags, Skarhead, Cold as Life), Jamin Hunt (Sworn Enemy), Eddie Ortiz (Subzero) and Pauly Antignani (Sworn Enemy).
Since 2017, he is also the frontman of Apocalypse Tribe and they released a split album with Rob Aston's Death March in August 25.
Karl Buechner has been cited as an influence by artists such as Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed, Greg Bennick of Trial and Sean Ingram of Coalesce.
In chemistry, neutralization or neutralisation (see spelling differences) is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other.
In a reaction in water, neutralization results in there being no excess of hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution.
In the context of a chemical reaction the term neutralization is used for a reaction between an acid and a base or alkali.
The statement is still valid as long as it is understood that in an aqueous solution the substances involved are subject to dissociation, which changes the substances ionization state.
Electrical charges are omitted from generic expressions such as this, as each species A, AH, B, or BH may or may not carry an electrical charge.
After an acid AH has been neutralized there are no molecules of the acid (or hydrogen ions produced by dissociation of the molecule) left in solution.
When an acid is neutralized the amount of base added to it must be equal the amount of acid present initially.
For example, in the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide the sodium and chloride ions, Na and Cl take no part in the reaction.
The pH of such a solution is close to a value of 7; the exact pH value is dependent on the temperature of the solution.
The most suitable indicator to use for this type of titration is one, like Methyl orange, that changes color at low pH.
Either a pH meter or a pH indicator which shows the point of neutralization by a distinct color change can be employed.
Simple stoichiometric calculations with the known volume of the unknown and the known volume and molarity of the added chemical gives the molarity of the unknown.
In wastewater treatment, chemical neutralization methods are often applied to reduce the damage that an effluent may cause upon release to the environment.
These are designed to neutralize excess gastric acid in the stomach (HCl) that may be causing discomfort in the stomach or lower esophagus.
In chemical synthesis of nanomaterials, the heat of neutralization reaction can be used to facilitate the chemical reduction of metal precursors.
In order for the nutrients to be absorbed through the intestinal wall, an alkaline environment is needed, so the pancreas produce an antacid bicarbonate to cause this transformation to occur.
Fertilizers that improve plant growth are made by neutralizing sulfuric acid (HSO) or nitric acid (HNO) with ammonia gas (NH), making ammonium sulfate or ammonium nitrate.
Industrially, a by-product of the burning of coal, sulfur dioxide gas, may combine with water vapor in the air to eventually produce sulfuric acid, which falls as acid rain.
A suspension of lime is then injected into the mixture to produce a slurry, which removes the calcium sulfite and any remaining unreacted sulfur dioxide.
A groom or stable boy (stable hand, stable lad) is a person who is responsible for some or all aspects of the management of horses and/or the care of the stables themselves.
The term most often refers to a person who is the employee of a stable owner, but an owner of a horse may perform the duties of a groom, particularly if the owner only possesses a few horses.
Grooms may be employed in private residences or in professional horse training facilities such as stables, agistment properties and riding academies.
A groom in private service is expected to be 'on call' during specified hours in case any member of the employer's family wishes to ride.
Grooms whose employers are involved in horse sports or horse racing are often required to travel with their employers to provide support services during competitions.
The services required vary with the type of competition and range from simply ensuring that the horse is ready for the start of the competition to warming the horse up beforehand.
At a horse show, grooms outside of the ring perform standard grooming tasks, but if utilized inside the show ring are generally defined as an individual called in to assist an exhibitor with a horse while in competition.
In combined driving the groom is the passenger and at speed is required to shift his weight to balance the carriage.
Stablehand is a more old-fashioned term; the variation stableman usually applies to an experienced adult, the lowest rank stableboy (corresponding to the first origin of groom) rather to a minor and/or trainee.
In many cases the head groom has complete responsibility for the horses including devising training schedules, choosing feeds for optimum nutrition and ensuring the horses are shod, wormed, inoculated and provided with timely veterinary care.
Several other words originally denoting other (often much higher) titles, notably Constable, Equerry and Marshal, have developed into terms for those working with horses.
It is named after the surname of the Earls and Dukes of Bedford; the freehold remains with the Bedford Estate, though the square is managed by Camden Council.
One of the bombings was on a London Underground train between King's Cross St Pancras tube station and Russell Square tube station, and another was on a bus on Tavistock Square, near Russell Square.
The square is named after the surname of the Earls and Dukes of Bedford, who developed the family's London landholdings in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Other past residents include the famous 19th-century architectural father-and-son partnership, Philip and Philip Charles Hardwick, who lived at number 60 in the 1850s.
Those to the west are occupied by the University of London, and there is a blue plaque on one at the north-west corner commemorating the fact that T. S. Eliot worked there from the late 1920s when he was poetry editor of Faber & Faber.
In 1998, the London Mathematical Society moved from rooms in Burlington House to De Morgan House, at 57–58 Russell Square, in order to accommodate staff expansion.
The Cabmen's Shelter Fund was established in London in 1875 to run shelters for the drivers of hansom cabs and later hackney carriages (and taxicabs).
In 2002, the square was re-landscaped in a style based on the original early 19th century layout by Humphry Repton (1752–1818).
Since 2004, the two buildings on the southern side, at numbers 46 and 47, have been occupied by the Huron University USA in London (now the London campus for EF International Language Centres and is the Centre for Professional Students over the age of 25).
One of them was on a London Underground train at that moment running between King's Cross St Pancras tube station and Russell Square tube station, and another was on a bus on Tavistock Square, near Russell Square.
SabreTalk programs are still running in the British Airways Flight Operations system (FICO), although a commercially available automatic converter is being used to translate SabreTalk programs to C programs.
Both the Reservations and Operations Support System (OSS) of Delta Air Lines were developed using both SabreTalk and IBM 360 Assembler.
Although development is currently restricted to C++, the majority of Delta's programming platform remained in Sabretalk until recently in the 2010s.
from SabreTalk to C and because it is no longer supported by the original developers, several companies are beginning the move away from SabreTalk to purely C-based programs.
It was founded in 1978 and defined itself as abertzale, left-wing, socialist, and supported the independence of the Greater Basque Country.
It was refounded as Batasuna in 2001 and subsequently outlawed by the Spanish Supreme Court for being considered the political wing of the terrorist Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA).
Herri Batasuna's founding convention was held in Lekeitio, home of Santiago Brouard, who was then the leader of HASI (Herriko Alderdi Sozialista Iraultzailea or Revolutionary Socialist People's Party).
The party won 150,000 votes in the Basque Country (15%) and 22,000 additional votes in Navarre (9%) in its first Spanish general election in March 1979.
The same happened in 1980 in the first elections to the Basque Parliament, in which HB stood as a second political force, with 151,636 votes (16.55%), winning 11 seats.
Another well-known Herri Batasuna leader, , was also killed by members of the neo-fascist Bases Autónomas in 1989, while he was in a hotel in Madrid.
Since its foundation, Herri Batasuna ran for every election in the Basque Country and in Navarre, as well as in Spanish general elections (from 1979 to 1996) and the European elections of 1987, 1989 and 1994.
Herri Batasuna refused to participate in many of the institutions it won seats in, with the exception of local town halls.
The soil is a sandy moraine, the last tip of the Salpausselkä ridge, and vegetation consists mainly of pine and low shrubs.
However, the Soviets evacuated their 25,000 soldiers in the area during the Continuation War and it was retaken by the Finns and the Swedish Volunteer Battalion in December 1941.
Circus, Barnum & Bailey Circus, Ringling Bros., Barnum & Bailey or simply Ringling was an American traveling circus company billed as The Greatest Show on Earth.
Known as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows, the circus started in 1919 when the Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth, a circus created by P. T. Barnum and James Anthony Bailey, was merged with the Ringling Bros. World's Greatest Shows.
The Ringling brothers had purchased Barnum & Bailey Ltd. following Bailey's death in 1906, but ran the circuses separately until they were merged in 1919.
In 1967, Irvin Feld and his brother Israel, along with Houston Judge Roy Hofheinz bought the circus from the Ringling family.
Since the death of Irvin Feld in 1984, the circus had been a part of Feld Entertainment, an international entertainment firm headed by his son Kenneth Feld, with its headquarters in Ellenton, Florida.
With weakening attendance, many animal rights protests, and high operating costs, the circus performed its final show on May 21, 2017, at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum and closed after 146 years.
Barnum, who as a boy had worked as a ticket seller for Hachaliah Bailey's show, had run the Barnum's American Museum from New York City since 1841 from the former Scudder's American Museum building.
Though Barnum attempted to re-establish the Museum at another location in the city, it too burned down in 1868, and Barnum opted to retire from the museum business.
In 1871, Dan Castello and William Cameron Coup persuaded Barnum to come out of retirement as to lend his name, know-how and financial backing to the circus they had already created in Delavan, Wisconsin.
Independently of Castello and Coup, James Anthony Bailey had teamed up with James E. Cooper to create the Cooper and Bailey Circus in the 1860s.
After Jumbo died, Barnum donated his taxidermied remains to Tufts University on whose Board of Trustees Barnum served as one of Tufts' first trustees.
The Barnum Museum of Natural History opened in 1884 on the Tufts campus and Jumbo was a prominent part of the display.
Similar to dozens of small circuses that toured the Midwest and the Northeast at the time, the brothers moved their circus from town to town in small animal-drawn caravans.
Their circus rapidly grew and they were soon able to move their circus by train, which allowed them to have the largest traveling amusement enterprise of that time.
By that time, Charles Edward Ringling and John Nicholas Ringling were the only remaining brothers of the five who founded the circus.
In 1938, the circus made a lucrative offer to Frank Buck, a well-known adventurer and animal collector, to tour as their star attraction and to enter the show astride an elephant.
After John Nicholas Ringling's death, his nephew, John Ringling North, managed the indebted circus twice, the first from 1937 to 1943.
Special dispensation was given to the circus by President Roosevelt to use the rails to operate in 1942, in spite of travel restrictions imposed as a result of World War II.
Many of the most famous images from the circus that were published in magazine and posters were captured by American Photographer Maxwell Frederic Coplan, who traveled the world with the circus, capturing its beauty as well as its harsh realities.
The Hartford circus fire occurred on July 6, 1944, in Hartford, Connecticut, during an afternoon performance that was attended by approximately 7,500 to 8,700 people.
Although the Hartford Fire Department responded quickly, the fire was exacerbated by the fact that the canvas circus tent had been waterproofed with a mixture of highly flammable paraffin and gasoline.
During the ensuing panic, Emmett Kelly, the tramp clown, threw a bucket of water at the burning canvas tent, and a poignant photograph of his futile attempt was transmitted around the world as news spread of the disaster.
In a 1997 interview, Reilly said that he rarely attended the theater, despite being a director, since the sound of a large audience in a theater reminded him of the large crowd at the circus before the disaster.
Ringling Bros. had applied to the Army, which had an absolute priority on the material, for enough fireproofing liquid to treat their Big Top, but the Army had refused to release it to them.
The circus had instead waterproofed their canvas using an older method of paraffin dissolved in gasoline and painted onto the canvas.
Ringling Brothers' management set aside all profits for the next ten years to pay the claims filed against the show by the City of Hartford and the survivors of the fire.
The post-war prosperity enjoyed by the rest of the nation was not shared by the circus as crowds dwindled and costs increased.
Public tastes, influenced by the movies and television, abandoned the circus, which gave its last performance under the big top in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on July 16, 1956.
In 1956, when John Ringling North and Arthur Concello moved the circus from a tent show to an indoor operation, Irvin Feld was one of several promoters hired to work the advance for select dates.
Irvin Feld and his brother, Israel Feld, had already made a name for themselves marketing and promoting D.C. area rock and roll shows.
In late 1967, Irvin Feld, Israel Feld, and Judge Roy Mark Hofheinz of Texas, together with backing from Richard C. Blum, the founder of Blum Capital, bought the company outright from North and the Ringling family interests for $8 million at a ceremony at Rome's Colosseum.
Irvin got rid of the freak show so as not to capitalize on others' deformations and to become more family orientated.
In 1968, with the craft of clowning seemingly neglected and with many of the clowns in their 50s, he established the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College.
A circus in Europe was purchased for $2 million just to have its star animal trainer, Gunther Gebel-Williams, for the core of his revamped circus.
The separate tours could also offer differing slates of acts and themes, enabling circus goers to view both tours where possible.. Also in 1968, Feld hired The King Charles Troupe, a unicycle club from The Bronx and the first ever African-American circus troupe, to perform unicycle basketball for 18 years with the circus.
The circus was sold to the Mattel company in 1971 for $40 million, but the Feld family was retained as management.
After Walt Disney World opened near Orlando, Florida, in 1971, the circus attempted to cash in on the resulting tourism surge by opening Circus World theme park in nearby Haines City, which broke ground on April 26, 1973.
The theme park was expected to become the circus's winter home as well as to have the Clown College located there.
Mattel placed the circus corporation up for sale by December 1973 despite its profit contributions, as Mattel as a whole showed a $29.9 million loss in 1972.
Venture Out in America, Inc., a Gulf Oil recreational subsidiary, agreed to buy the combined shows in January 1974, and the opening was further pushed back to 1975.
While the Circus Showcase for Circus World opened on , Venture Out placed the purchase deal back into negotiations, and the opening of the whole complex was moved to an early 1976.
By May 1980, the company expanded to three circuses by adding the one-ring International Circus Festival of Monte Carlo that debuted in Japan and Australia.
In 1990, the Seminole Gulf Railway (who took over the rail line serving the Venice facility in 1987) could no longer support the show's train cars, which led the combined circus to move its winter base to the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa.
Clair George has testified in court that he worked as a consultant in the early 1990s for Kenneth Feld and the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
He was involved in the surveillance of Jan Pottker (a journalist who was writing about the Feld family) and of various animal rights groups such as PETA.
After three years in Baraboo, the clown college operated at the Sarasota Opera House in Sarasota until 1998 before the program was suspended.
On , the circus company started previewing Barnum's Kaleidoscape, a one ring, intimate, upscale circus performed under the tent; designed to compete with similar upscale circuses such as Cirque du Soleil, Barnum's Kaleidoscape was not successful, and ceased performances after the end of 2000.
In 2001, a group led by The Humane Society of the United States sued the circus over alleged mistreatment of elephants.
On March 3, 2015, the circus announced that all elephants would be retired in 2018 to the CEC, but Ringling revised the decision and retired the elephants in May 2016.
Eight months after it retired the elephants, it was announced on January 14, 2017, that the circus would do 30 more performances, that it would lay off more than 462 employees between March and May 2017 and then close.
The Blue and Red Tours presented a full three-ring production for two years each (taking off the month of December), visiting alternating major cities each year.
The Blue Tour presented the even-numbered editions on a two-year tour (beginning each even-numbered year), and the Red Tour presented the odd-numbered editions on the same two-year tour (beginning each odd-numbered year).
In the 1950s there was one gigantic train system comprising three separate train loads that brought the main show to the big cities.
The first train load consisted of 22 cars and had the tents and the workers to set them up; the second section comprised 28 cars and carried the canvasmen, ushers and sideshow workers; the third section had 19 sleeping cars for the performers.
From 2003 to 2015 the circus also operated a truck-based Gold Tour presenting a scaled-back, single-ring version of the show designed to serve smaller markets deemed incapable of supporting the three-ring versions.
In March 2018, Kirby Family Farms located in Williston, Florida bought some of the cars and planned to turn them into hotels.
Many animal rights groups had criticized the circus for their treatment of animals over the years, saying that using them to perform is cruel and unnecessary.
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey was investigated following the death of a lion who died from heat and lack of water while the circus train was travelling through the Mojave Desert.
In 2000, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), PETA, and other animal groups sued the circus, alleging that it violated the Endangered Species Act by its treatment of Asian elephants in its circus.
After years of litigation and a six-week non-jury trial, the Court dismissed the suit in a written decision in 2009, finding that the barn worker was not credible (ASPCA v. Feld Entm’t, Inc., 677 F. Supp.
Meanwhile, the circus learned during the trial that the animal rights groups had paid the barn worker $190,000 to be a plaintiff in the lawsuit.
The circus then sued the animal rights groups under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act in 2007, accusing the groups of conspiracy to harm its business and other illegal acts.
The 14-year course of litigation came to an end in May 2014 when The Humane Society of the United States and a number of other animal rights groups paid a $16  million settlement to the circus' parent company, Feld Entertainment.
In 2011, the United States Department of Agriculture conducted an inspection of the circus's animals, facilities, and records, finding non-compliance with the agency's regulations.
As part of the settlement, the circus must employ a full-time staff person to ensure compliance with the United States Animal Welfare Act of 1966, and all circus employees who work with or handle animals must complete training regarding compliance with the Act within 30 days of when they are hired.
In March 2015, Feld Entertainment announced it would stop using elephants in their shows by 2018, stating that the 13 elephants that were part of their shows would be sent to the circus's Center for Elephant Conservation, which at that time housed over 40 elephants.
Feld stated that this action was not a result of the allegations by animal rights groups, but rather due to the patchwork of local laws regarding whether elephants could be used in entertainment shows.
Seven tigers, six lions and one leopard were part of a convoy to temporarily move the animals out of Florida ahead of Hurricane Irma on September 5, 2017.
One of them, a 6-year-old Siberian tiger named Suzy who had previously starred in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, escaped from a convoy of trucks transporting her from Florida to Memphis International Airport and was fatally shot by police after attacking a nearby dog.
A television series of the same title, was inspired by the film, with Jack Palance in the role of Charlton Heston's character.
From the University of Manchester he gained a BSc degree in Maths, then did a PGCE at Huddersfield College of Education.
He was Head of Maths at Barnsley Sixth Form College from 1979-90, then Senior Maths Lecturer at Barnsley College (it took over the sixth form college) from 1990-7.

Cell adhesion is the process by which cells interact and attach to neighbouring cells through specialised molecules of the cell surface.
This process can occur either through direct contact between cell surfaces or indirect interaction, where cells attach to surrounding extracellular matrix, a gel-like structure containing molecules released by cells into spaces between them.
Cell adhesion links cells in different ways and can be involved in signal transduction for cells to detect and respond to changes in the surroundings.
Cadherins and immunoglobulins are homophilic CAMs, as they directly bind to the same type of CAMs on another cell, while integrins and selectins are heterophilic CAMs that bind to different types of CAMs.
Alternatively, cell junctions can be categorised into two main types according to what interacts with the cell: cell–cell junctions, mainly mediated by cadherins, and cell–matrix junctions, mainly mediated by integrins.
This family of CAMs are membrane proteins that mediate cell–cell adhesion through its extracellular domains and require extracellular Ca ions to function correctly.
Cadherins forms homophilic attachment between themselves, which results in cells of a similar type sticking together and can lead to selective cell adhesion, allowing vertebrate cells to assemble into organised tissues.
Cadherins are essential for cell–cell adhesion and cell signalling in multicellular animals and can be separated into two types: classical cadherins and non-classical cadherins.
In adherens junctions, cadherins between neighbouring cells interact through their extracellular domains, which share a conserved calcium-sensitive region in their extracellular domains.
When this region comes into contact with Ca ions, extracellular domains of cadherins undergo a conformational change from the inactive flexible conformation to a more rigid conformation in order to undergo homophilic binding.
These protein complexes link cadherins to actin filaments.This association with actin filaments is essential for adherens junctions to stabilise cell–cell adhesion.
This is since cadherin clusters promote actin filament polymerisation,which in turn promotes the assembly of adherens junctions by binding to the cadherin–catenin complexes that then form at the junction.
Instead of classical cadherins, non-classical cadherins such as desmogleins and desmocollins act as adhesion molecules and they are linked to intermediate filaments instead of actin filaments.
No catenin is present in desmosomes as intracellular domains of desmosomal cadherins interact with desmosomal plaque proteins, which form the thick cytoplasmic plaques in desmosomes and link cadherins to intermediate filaments.
Desmosomes provides strength and resistance to mechanical stress by unloading forces onto the flexible but resilient intermediate filaments, something that cannot occur with the rigid actin filaments.
This makes desmosomes important in tissues that encounter high levels of mechanical stress, such as heart muscle and epithelia, and explains why it appears frequently in these types of tissues.
Tight junctions are normally present in epithelial and endothelial tissues, where they seal gaps and regulate paracellular transport of solutes and extracellular fluids in these tissues that function as barriers.
Tight junction is formed by transmembrane proteins, including claudins, occludins and tricellulins, that bind closely to each other on adjacent membranes in a homophilic manner.
Similar to anchoring junctions, intracellular domains of these tight junction proteins are bound with scaffold proteins that keep these proteins in clusters and link them to actin filaments in order to maintain structure of the tight junction.
Claudins, essential for formation of tight junctions, form paracellular pores which allow selective passage of specific ions across tight junctions making the barrier selectively permeable.
These channels allow transport of ions and small molecules between cytoplasm of two adjacent cells, apart from holding cells together and provide structural stability like anchoring junctions or tight junctions.
Gap junction channels are selectively permeable to specific ions depending on which connexins form the connexons, which allows gap junctions to be involved in cell signalling by regulating the transfer of molecules involved in signalling cascades.
Channels can respond to many different stimuli and are regulated dynamically either by rapid mechanisms, such as voltage gating, or by slow mechanism, such as altering numbers of channels present in gap junctions.
Selectins undergo heterophilic bindings, as its extracellular domain binds to carbohydrates on adjacent cells instead of other selectins, while it also require Ca ions to function, same as cadherins.
cell–cell adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells is important for immune responses as leukocytes can travel to sites of infection or injury through this mechanism.
At these sites, integrins on the rolling white blood cells are activated and bind firmly to the local endothelial cells, allowing the leukocytes to stop migrating and move across the endothelial barrier.
The immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) is one of the largest superfamily of proteins in the body and it contains many diverse CAMs involved in different functions.
These transmembrane proteins have one or more immunoglobulin-like domains in their extracellular domains and undergo calcium-independent binding with ligands on adjacent cells.
Some IgSF CAMs, such as neural cell adhesion molecules (NCAMs), can perform homophilic binding while others, such as intercellular cell adhesion molecules (ICAMs) or vascular cell adhesion molecules (VCAMs) undergo heterophilic binding with molecules like carbohydrates or integrins.
Both ICAMs and VCAMs are expressed on vascular endothelial cells and they interact with integrins on the leukocytes to assist leukocyte attachment and its movement across the endothelial barrier.
Cells have specific CAMs that will bind to molecules in the extracellular matrix and link the matrix to the intracellular cytoskeleton.
Extracellular matrix can act as a support when organising cells into tissues and can also be involved in cell signalling by activating intracellular pathways when bound to the CAMs.
Integrins can signal in both directions: inside-out signalling, intracellular signals modifying the intracellular domains, can regulate affinity of integrins for their ligands, while outside-in signalling, extracellular ligands binding to extracellular domains, can induce conformational changes in integrins and initiate signalling cascades.
Extracellular domains of integrins can bind to different ligands through heterophilic binding while intracellular domains can either be linked to intermediate filaments, forming hemidesmosomes, or to actin filaments, forming focal adhesions.
In hemidesmosomes, integrins attach to extracellular matrix proteins called laminins in the basal lamina, which is the extracellular matrix secreted by epithelial cells.
Integrins link extracellular matrix to keratin intermediate filaments, which interacts with intracellular domain of integrins via adapter proteins such as plectins and BP230.
Adapter proteins, such as talins, vinculins, α-actinins and filamins, form a complex at the intracellular domain of integrins and bind to actin filaments.
This multi-protein complex linking integrins to actin filaments is important for assembly of signalling complexes that act as signals for cell growth and cell motility.
Plants cells adhere closely to each other and are connected through plasmodesmata, channels that cross the plant cell walls and connect cytoplasms of adjacent plant cells.
Molecules that are either nutrients or signals required for growth are transported, either passively or selectively, between plant cells through plasmodesmata.
Pathogenic fungi use adhesion molecules present on its cell wall to attach, either through protein-protein or protein-carbohydrate interactions, to host cells or fibronectins in the extracellular matrix.
Prokaryotes have adhesion molecules on their cell surface termed bacterial adhesins, apart from using its pili (fimbriae) and flagella for cell adhesion.
For example, influenza virus has a hemagglutinin on its surface that is required for recognition of the sugar sialic acid on host cell surface molecules.
Viruses can also target components of cell junctions to enter host cells, which is what happens when the hepatitis C virus targets occludins and claudins in tight junctions to enter liver cells.
Loss of cell–cell adhesion in metastatic tumour cells allows them to escape their site of origin and spread through the circulatory system.
One example of CAMs deregulated in cancer are cadherins, which are inactivated either by genetic mutations or by other oncogenic signalling molecules, allowing cancer cells to migrate and be more invasive.
Other CAMs, like selectins and integrins, can facilitate metastasis by mediating cell–cell interactions between migrating metastatic tumour cells in the circulatory system with endothelial cells of other distant tissues.
This leads to reduced expression of β integrin heterodimers, which are required for leukocytes to firmly attach to the endothelial wall at sites of inflammation in order to fight infections.
Leukocytes from LAD-I patients are unable to adhere to endothelial cells and patients exhibit serious episodes of infection that can be life-threatening.
An autoimmune disease called pemphigus is also caused by loss of cell adhesion, as it results from autoantibodies targeting a person's own desmosomal cadherins which leads to epidermal cells detaching from each other and causes skin blistering.
Pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses and protozoans, have to first adhere to host cells in order to infect and cause diseases.
Anti-adhesion therapy can be used to prevent infection by targeting adhesion molecules either on the pathogen or on the host cell.
Apart from altering the production of adhesion molecules, competitive inhibitors that bind to adhesion molecules to prevent binding between cells can also be used, acting as anti-adhesive agents.
The UCL School of Pharmacy (formerly The School of Pharmacy, University of London) is the pharmacy school of University College London (UCL).
The School was founded by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain in 1842 as the College of the Pharmaceutical Society.
It was renamed The School of Pharmacy in 1949 when it became independent of the Pharmaceutical Society and was incorporated into the University of London as a constituent college.
Construction of the School's current main building, designed by Herbert Rowse, began in 1938, although work was stopped on the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 and the building was not completed until 1960.
It was decided on 13 May 2011, after a consultation and development process, that the School would merge with University College London (UCL).
The department's staff help teach the undergraduate MPharm degree in the areas of drug discovery, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry and pharmacognosy/medicinal plants, and an MSc in Pharmacognosy is offered.
The department has played a major role in the development of Pharmacology in the UK and many pharmacologists who trained here are to be found in academies and in industries all over the world.
The department's research focuses on the nervous system, and a wide range of approaches are used to study normal brain function and the causes of many neurological and psychiatric diseases.
The Department of Pharmaceutics is home to a wide range of research activities, such as in Materials Science and Processing and Clinical Pharmaceutical Science.
The department's research in Materials Science and Processing is centred on the fundamental properties of materials and their adaptation to optimise processing and enhance drug delivery.
It operates a number of joint ventures, including the Centre for Paediatric Pharmacy Research, a joint venture with Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Institute of Child Health, and in the Clinical Pharmaceutics with University College Hospitals and Camden and Islington's NHS Trust.
The Microbiology Research Group is also well-established, with work focusing mainly in overcoming antibiotic resistance and obtaining new actives from natural sources.
The Department of Practice and Policy focuses upon making the use of medicines safer and more effective through teaching, service and research.
The department has collaborations with organisations including Imperial College London, the London School of Economics, the Institute of Education and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, as well as several major London hospitals including Guy's and St Thomas's, University College Hospital, Hammersmith, Barts and the London, and Great Ormond Street.
The School offers a number of Masters Degree programmes, including Drug Discovery, Drug Delivery, Pharmacognosy and Pharmacy Practice, and PhD research degrees.
Straight Plan for the Gay Man is an American comedy television series that premiered on February 23, 2004, on Comedy Central.
The makeovers include lessons in poor manners, spartan home decorating, unfashionable wardrobes, and an overdeveloped ego to mask all personal failings.
Brunswick Square is a public garden and ancillary streets along two of its sides in Bloomsbury, in the London Borough of Camden.
It is overlooked by the School of Pharmacy and the Foundling Museum to the north; the Brunswick Centre to the west; and International Hall (a hall of residence of the University of London) to the south.
East is an enclosed area of playgrounds with further trees, Coram's Fields, associated with charity Coram Family which is just over double its size; next to that area Brunswick Square is mirrored, symmetrically by Mecklenburgh Square, likewise of 3 acres including roads.
The squares are named after contemporary Queen consorts (the wife of George III and the wife of his eldest son George IV).
Between the two, east of this square, is an enclosed area of playgrounds with further trees, Coram's Fields (associated with charity Coram Family) which occupies just over seven acres.
Brunswick Square and Mecklenburgh Square and Coram's Fields are jointly listed Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
What is now the square (apart from the longer of the two roads bounding it and sharing in its name which is older) including the nearer part of buildings facing it was originally part of the grounds of the Foundling Hospital.
Brunswick Square, named after Caroline of Brunswick, was finished first, being built by James Burton in 1795–1802; none of the original houses remain.
The bronze sculpture of a child's mitten, by Tracey Emin, sits on top of one of the railings outside the Foundling Museum.
The club was used for Women's Freedom League meetings and as a hostel for suffrage activists and fund-raising annual birthday parties for Charlotte Despard.
The Kashubian Language Council (Kashubian: Radzëzna Kaszëbsczégò Jãzëka; Polish: Rada Języka Kaszubskiego) is a body of the Kashubian-Pomeranian Association that oversees and promotes the Kashubian language.
The discussion takes place at the home of Callias, who is host to Protagoras while he is in town, and concerns the nature of sophists, the unity and the teachability of virtue.
Additionally, there are several unnamed foreigners whom Protagoras is said to have picked up in his travels and a servant (a eunuch) in the employ of Callias.
The dialogue begins with an unnamed friend of Socrates asking him how his pursuit of the young Alcibiades, just now reputed to be growing his first beard, was proceeding.
Socrates explains that while he has just been in the company of Alcibiades, his mind is now on more interesting matters.
Socrates relates the story of how his young friend, Hippocrates, son of Apollodorus, came knocking on his door before daybreak and roused him out of bed.
Hippocrates was in a big hurry to be present when Protagoras held court, as he was expected to do, at the home of Callias, and wanted Socrates to introduce him as a potential student to the old Sophist, as Protagoras had a great reputation as a teacher.
With food and drink, you never know what you are getting, but you can consult experts for advice before consuming anything that might be dangerous (313a–314c).
Socrates later notes that Prodicus was assigned to sleep in a storage room that his host had cleaned out for the visit (315d).
A eunuch opens the door, takes one look at them, guesses they are Sophists, and slams the door in their faces (314d).
Upon entering, Socrates and young Hippocrates witness the great Sophist Protagoras walking round the cloister surrounded by numerous men, some of them famous Athenians which Socrates mentioned by name, like Charmides and the two sons of Pericles.
Protagoras does not deny being a Sophist, and claims that it is an ancient and honorable art, the same art practiced by Homer and Hesiod.
He says that he is more straightforward than the ancient artists, trainers, and musicians in frankly admitting that he is an educator.
Protagoras says he is old enough now to be the father of any of the men present, and would like now to address himself to the whole company of people in the house.
Socrates assumes that Prodicus would not want to miss the lecture, and so Callias and Alcibiades are sent to rouse him from his bed (317c–e).
Protagoras begins by saying that a good Sophist can make his students into good citizens by teaching civic virtue (πολιτικὴν τέχνην).
Socrates says that this is fine and good, but that he personally believes that this is not feasible since virtue cannot be taught (319b).
By way of example, Socrates points to the fact that while in matters concerning specialised labour one would only take advice from the appropriate specialist, like for example builders (τέκτονες) about construction, in matters of state everyone's opinions are considered, which proves that political virtue is within everyone, or that at least that is what Athenians in their democratic ideals believe.
He then adds that Clinias, younger brother of Alcibiades, was taken from the family for fear that Alcibiades would corrupt him, and he was given back as a hopeless case.
Protagoras says his claim that virtue can be taught is better made by a story than by reasoned arguments, and he recounts a myth about the origins of living things.
When Prometheus saw what had happened, and realising that without either pelts nor claws, mankind was doomed, he decided to go secretly into the god's mountain home of Olympus and steal something to give back to man.
Initially, Prometheus wanted to steal temperance (sophrosyne), but this virtue was guarded inside the palace of Zeus himself by terrible guardians, and so, the Titan opted for the gift of fire straight from the workshop of Hephaestus, and practical wisdom from the goddess Athena.
Having failed to enter the palace of Zeus however, man was never granted civic wisdom, and so his race was still in danger of extinction.
To Protagoras, this answers Socrates' question as to why people think that wisdom about architecture or medicine is limited to the few while wisdom about justice and politics is thought to be more broadly understood (322d).
First, people do not rebuke the ugly, dwarfish, and weak, but pity them, because they cannot help being as they are, yet they punish the unjust and generally feel as though someone is responsible for not knowing something that can be taught (323d).
Protagoras notes that none of this is surprising, but what would be surprising is if this were not the case (326e).
Naturally, all parents would be eager to teach their sons how to play the flute, but given the importance of this skill, everyone would also be teaching everyone else, as it would be a considered a crime to withhold this knowledge.
The result would be a city where everyone would be at least decent in the art, but being taught constantly and by everyone, those naturally gifted would always be better than those who happen to have gifted parents.
It is considered so important that everyone is taught to a certain degree by everyone else, and to the point that it seems like a part of human nature, while children of virtuous men do not always exceed the rest for the reason analogous to flute playing (327b–d).
Socrates admits that Protagoras has given an excellent answer and that there is only one small thing to clarify which he is certain that the Sophist will do easily.
He asks Protagoras as to whether the attributes that form virtue, such as bravery, kindness and wisdom are one or many things, like for example the parts of a golden object which are fused together or that of a face which form a whole while retaining their individual substance (329d).
Protagoras answers the second but avoids engaging in dialogue and digresses into a rhetoric which does not answer the question sufficiently but still manages to arouse the excitement of their young public.
It is a typical moment of Socratic Dialogues, where a Sophist uses eloquent speeches to hide the inconsistency of his arguments.
Socrates move is to pretend that he has a weak memory (334c), and for the debate to continue, Protagoras needs to answer in a short and concise manner, forcing the Sophist to use Socrates' notorious method, his unique question/answer format that can lead to a logical conclusion, usually in Socrates favour.
Protagoras begins to bristle at this and replies that his answers are as long as they need to be, while Socrates reminds him that as a teacher of rhetoric, and one that advertises his ability to teach others all the different ways a debate can be had, he above all should be able to shorten his answers when the need arises.
Their argument over form appears to be leading them nowhere, and Socrates gets up to leave, grousing that companionable talk is one thing while public speaking another (336b).
Socrates praises the Spartans as the best people in the world not only because of their fierceness in battle but because of their wisdom and philosophical skills.
This is contrary to the common belief that the Spartans lacked in these issues and devoted themselves exclusively to physical training but Socrates claims that they are masters at concealing their skills.
Simonides, on the other hand, claims that it is impossible to live without ever being a bad man, and even to be a good man on occasion is difficult (344a–45d).
Socrates' interpretation is that, since Simonides was a wise man, he must know that no one does any wrong willingly; accordingly, he must mean that he will willingly praise those who do no wrong, not that some do wrong willingly and others unwillingly, only the latter garnering his praise (345d–46b).
Socrates thus argues that the authority of Simonides does not stand against his understanding of virtue and whether anyone willingly does wrong.
Socrates then repeats the initial question of whether virtue is one or many things, and he reminds Protagoras that his answer was the latter, that virtues are many (349b-d).
Socrates proceeds using his method, and asks whether the most courageous soldiers are those who are ignorant or knowledgeable of fighting.
Protagoras says that while there are those who are courageous while being ignorant, their courage is more like madness, and that to be considered truly courageous, one needs to know what he is engaged in.
But after agreeing that courageous people are necessarily knowledgeable, and therefore wise, Protagoras sees through Socrates' tricks, who was indeed trying to push for a unification theory of virtue on the premise that everything, courage and justice included are essentially wisdom, and therefore the same thing.
He tells Socrates that while he agreed that the courageous are knowledgeable, he did not agree about the inverse, that wise men are also courageous.
Socrates finally asks why is it that men do harm to themselves, by overeating or overindulging in other pleasures, and asks Protagoras whether his view is the standard one, that these men do so because of pleasure.
Protagoras agrees, and Socrates continues by saying that what we call bad is not necessarily unpleasant in the short term, but necessarily so in the long term, like certain foods that cause pleasurable sensations but harm the body in the long run.
Socrates then concludes that the only reason why people exchange good for bad, like the pleasant taste of food for sickness that comes by eating it, is because they do not know that the first (the pleasure) is short, while the second (the pain) is long.
The error they make is just like one in judging the sizes of different objects when they are far away, assuming one is smaller because it's further away.
So if men were taught the art of calculating these things correctly, have a more exact knowledge that is, they would not act harmfully (357c–358d).
So, in a way, all virtues are essentially knowledge and can be considered one and the same, more like parts of golden objects (as discussed above) rather than the parts of a face.
And that's how the issue of courage can finally be addressed after being cut short by Protagoras only a short time before.
Because given that courage is good, as both agree, probably together with their entire culture, than the lack of it must necessarily be a lack of knowledge, and so Protagoras was wrong in saying that some courageous men are also ignorant.
He draws the conclusion that to an observer he and Protagoras would seem as crazy, having argued at great lengths only to mutually exchanged positions with Socrates now believing that virtue can be taught and Protagoras that all virtues are one instead of his initial position (361a).
Protagoras acknowledges Socrates a notable opponent in dispute while being much younger than he and predicts that he could become one of the wisest men alive.
Summer Lightning is a novel by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United States on 1 July 1929 by Doubleday, Doran, New York, under the title Fish Preferred, and in the United Kingdom on 19 July 1929 by Herbert Jenkins, London.
Gally is down at Blandings and writing his memoirs, to the horror of all who knew him in their wild youths, particularly Lord Emsworth's neighbour and pig-fancying rival Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe.
While sinister forces, including the efficient Baxter and the unpleasant Percy Pilbeam, scheme to put a stop to the book, Ronnie Fish and his old pal Hugo Carmody are entangled in difficult relationships, which require much subterfuge, some pig-theft and a little imposter-ing to resolve.
They hide this from Lady Constance, who is distracted with worries that the book of memoirs her brother Galahad is working on will bring shame to the family.
When they run into Lady Constance in London one day, Ronnie introduces Sue as Myra Schoonmaker, an American heiress he and his mother Lady Julia recently met in Biarritz.
Hoping to get money out of Lord Emsworth, his trustee, Ronnie claims to love pigs, but his uncle has seen him bouncing a tennis ball on the Empress' back, and is enraged.
Ronnie, inspired, steals the pig, planning to return it and earn his uncle's gratitude, roping in Beach to help; they hide her in a cottage in the woods.
Hugo takes Sue out dancing, but when Ronnie arrives at the club he sees Pilbeam, who admires Sue, sat at her table.
He runs amok, and spends a night in jail, and in the morning snubs Sue, who he believes has betrayed him.
Meanwhile, Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe, worrying about the memoirs, hires Pilbeam to retrieve them; Pilbeam agrees, realising he can use the pig-finding job to get into the castle.
Gally soon finds out the truth, when he has a meeting with Mortimer Mason, Sue's erstwhile employer, and he sees her in the gardens.
Baxter, meanwhile, has grown suspicious that the pig was stolen by Carmody as a means of insuring his job; he spots Beach heading off to feed the pig, and follows him, just as the storm breaks.
Their relationship is healed, Hugo having explained about Sue and Ronnie, and Beach, protecting Ronnie, claims he stole the pig for Hugo to return and win Lord Emsworth's favour.
Baxter accuses Beach in front of Emsworth, and the three of them head to the cottage, Emsworth growing ever warier of Baxter's sanity.
They find no pig, Carmody having moved it to Baxter's caravan, where Pilbeam, also caught in the rain, saw him stow it.
While Emsworth, Lady Constance, Gally and Millicent go to dinner with Parsloe-Parsloe (lured away to leave the memoirs unguarded), Ronnie Fish confronts Pilbeam, and learns that Sue was indeed out in London with Carmody, and that she has come to Blandings to be near Ronnie.
Carmody, in a panic, calls Millicent at Matchingham Hall, and is advised to tell Emsworth where the pig is at once.
Meanwhile, Baxter receives a telegram from Myra Schoonmaker in Paris, and goes to the imposter Sue's room to retrieve a note he sent her, criticising Lord Emsworth.
Ronnie spots Pilbeam climbing into the room to steal the book, and chases him downstairs; the returning dinner party assume they are fleeing Baxter, now confirmed as mad by the presence of the stolen pig in his caravan, and Emsworth charges into Sue's room with a shotgun.
Baxter crawls out from under the bed, flustered and enraged by his experience and Emsworth's harsh words, reveals Sue's deception and storms off.
Galahad, hearing that Sue Brown is Dolly Henderson's daughter, reveals that he loved her mother and views her as a kind of honorary daughter.
He tells Lady Constance that he will suppress his book if she agrees to sanction Sue and Ronnie's marriage, and to persuade her sister Julia to do likewise.
Pilbeam, hearing this as he once again climbs the drainpipe, gives up his mission, leaving Galahad to tell Sue the story of Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe and the prawns...
A stage play, adapted by Giles Havergal, was first performed at Glasgow's Citizens Theatre in 1992; a 1998 revival starred Helen Baxendale as Sue Brown.
The cast included Charles Dance as Galahad Threepwood, Patricia Hodge as Lady Constance, Tim Pigott-Smith as Beach, Matt Lucas as Percy Pilbeam, Martin Jarvis as Lord Emsworth, Samuel West as Hugo Carmody, Lisa Dillon as Sue Brown, Matthew Wolf as Ronnie Fish, Rachael Stirling as Millicent, Jared Harris as Rupert Baxter, Michael Jayston as Sir Gregory Parsloe, and Ian Ogilvy as the narrator.
Gravity Probe B (GP-B) was a satellite-based mission to test two unverified predictions of general relativity: the geodetic effect and frame-dragging.
This was to be accomplished by measuring, very precisely, tiny changes in the direction of spin of four gyroscopes contained in an Earth satellite orbiting at 650 km (400 mi) altitude, crossing directly over the poles.
The spaceflight phase lasted until <time>2005</time>; its aim was to measure spacetime curvature near Earth, and thereby the stress–energy tensor (which is related to the distribution and the motion of matter in space) in and near Earth.
The expected frame-dragging effect was similar in magnitude to the current noise level (the noise being dominated by initially unmodeled effects due to nonuniform coatings on the gyroscopes).
Mission scientists viewed it as the second gravity experiment in space, following the successful launch of Gravity Probe A (GP-A) in <time>1976</time>.
This was to be accomplished by measuring, very precisely, tiny changes in the direction of spin of four gyroscopes contained in an Earth satellite orbiting at 650 km (400 mi) altitude, crossing directly over the poles.
A gyroscope's axis when parallel transported around the Earth in one complete revolution does not end up pointing in exactly the same direction as before.
A more precise explanation for the space curvature part of the geodetic precession is obtained by using a nearly flat cone to model the space curvature of the Earth's gravitational field.
Gravity Probe B was expected to measure this effect to an accuracy of one part in 10,000, the most stringent check on general relativistic predictions to date.
Previously, only two analyses of the laser-ranging data obtained by the two LAGEOS satellites, published in <time>1997</time> and <time>2004</time>, claimed to have found the frame-dragging effect with an accuracy of about 20% and 10% respectively, whereas Gravity Probe B aimed to measure the frame dragging effect to a precision of 1%.
However, Lorenzo Iorio claimed that the level of total uncertainty of the tests conducted with the two LAGEOS satellites has likely been greatly underestimated.
A recent analysis of Mars Global Surveyor data has claimed to have confirmed the frame dragging effect to a precision of 0.5%, although the accuracy of this claim is disputed.
Also the Lense–Thirring effect of the Sun has been recently investigated in view of a possible detection with the inner planets in the near future.
An unusual feature of the mission is that it only had a one-second launch window due to the precise orbit required by the experiment.
In polar orbit, with the gyro spin directions also pointing toward HR8703, the frame-dragging and geodetic effects came out at right angles, each gyroscope measuring both.
Near-absolute zero temperatures were required to minimize molecular interference, and enable the lead and niobium components of the gyroscope mechanisms to become superconductive.
Also important was its well understood motion in the sky, which was helped by the fact that this star emits relatively strong radio signals.
In preparation for the setup of this mission, astronomers analyzed the radio-based position measurements with respect to far distant quasars taken over several years to understand its motion as precisely as needed.
The conceptual design for this mission was first proposed by an MIT professor, George Pugh, who was working with the U.S. Department of Defense in <time>1959</time> and later discussed by Leonard Schiff (Stanford) in <time>1960</time> at Pugh's suggestion, based partly on a theoretical paper about detecting frame dragging that Schiff had written in <time>1957</time>.
This grant ended in <time>1977</time> after a long phase of engineering research into the basic requirements and tools for the satellite.
In <time>1986</time> NASA changed plans for the shuttle, which forced the mission team to switch from a shuttle-based launch design to one that was based on the Delta 2, and in <time>1995</time> tests planned of a prototype on a shuttle flight were cancelled as well.
Gravity Probe B marks the first time in history that a university has been in control of the development and operations of a space satellite funded by NASA.
Although electrostatic patches caused by non-uniform coating of the spheres were anticipated, and were thought to have been controlled for before the experiment, it was subsequently found that the final layer of the coating on the spheres defined two halves of slightly different contact potential, which gave the sphere an electrostatic axis.
In addition, it dissipated energy from the polhode motion by inducing currents in the housing electrodes, causing the motion to change with time.
This meant that a simple time-average polhode model was insufficient, and a detailed orbit by orbit model was needed to remove the effect.
With the electrostatic torque modeled as a function of axis misalignment, and the polhode motion modeled at a sufficiently fine level, it was hoped to isolate the relativity torques to the originally expected resolution.
It is likely that this data will be examined by independent scientists and independently reported to the public well after the final release by the project scientists.
Because future interpretations of the data by scientists outside GP-B may differ from the official results, it may take several more years for all of the data received by GP-B to be completely understood.
Harry Bateman first grew to love mathematics at Manchester Grammar School, and in his final year, won a scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge.
He studied in Göttingen and Paris, taught at the University of Liverpool and University of Manchester before moving to the US in 1910.
There, working with Frank Morley in geometry, he achieved the PhD, but he had already published more than sixty papers including some of his celebrated papers before getting his PhD.
Theodore von Kármán was called in as an advisor for a projected aeronautics laboratory at Caltech and later gave this appraisal of Bateman.
Harry Bateman married Ethel Horner in 1912 and had a son named Harry Graham, who died as a child, later the couple adopted a daughter named Joan Margaret.
Together they came up in 1908 with the idea of a conformal group of spacetime (now usually denoted as ) which involved an extension of the method of images.
He showed that the Jacobian matrix of a spacetime diffeomorphism which preserves the Maxwell equations is proportional to an orthogonal matrix, hence conformal.
This figure of speech is not to be confused with a string in physics, for the universes in string theory have dimensions inflated beyond four, something not found in Bateman's work.
Bateman received many honours for his contributions, including election to the Royal Society of London in 1928, election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1930.
He was on his way to New York to receive an award from the Institute of Aeronautical Science when he died of coronary thrombosis.
After his death, his notes on higher transcendental functions were edited by A. Erdélyi, W. Magnus, F. Oberhettinger, and F. G. Tricomi, and published in 1954.
The A59 is a major road in England which is around long and runs from Wallasey, Merseyside to York, North Yorkshire.
It is a key route connecting Merseyside at the M53 motorway to Yorkshire, passing through three counties and connecting to various major motorways.
Sections of the A59 in Yorkshire closely follow the routes of Roman roads, some dating back to the Middle Ages as salt roads, whilst much of the A59 in Merseyside follows Victorian routes which are largely unchanged to the present day.
Numerous bypasses have been constructed throughout the 20th century, one of the earliest being the Maghull bypass in the early 1930s, particularly where traffic through towns was congested.
Portions of the route through Lancashire were proposed to be upgraded to motorway standard during the mid-20th century, latterly being downgraded to significant improvements then ultimately withdrawn from consideration.
Sections of the road have previously been noted as being amongst the most dangerous in the country, particularly in Yorkshire, despite continued efforts to improve road safety.
In the centre of Liverpool, a separate spur heads north from the roundabout junction at the entrance of the Queensway Tunnel, joining the main route at Scotland Road in Vauxhall.
It continues north through Kirkdale and Walton, passing Aintree Racecourse and Ormskirk Road (forming the boundary between Aintree and Netherton), before reaching Switch Island junction where it meets the A5036, M57 motorway and the M58 motorway.
From Switch Island, the A59 travels through Maghull and Lydiate, into Lancashire through Aughton and thence to Ormskirk, closely following the Merseyrail Northern Line path.
The road follows through Burscough and Rufford, despite a bypass being considered for this section in the early 1980s, before reaching the A565 at Tarleton.
The road continues over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and River Douglas through to Longton (and Hutton) bypass, where it returns to dual carriageway.
Passing Lancashire Police HQ, the road continues through Penwortham across the River Ribble into Preston, by-passing the city centre via Ring Way, where the A583 from Blackpool converges.
It briefly merges with the A6 before heading East and meeting the M6 at junction 31, after which the road splits into two separate carriageways until it meets the A677 for Blackburn.
As Longsight Road, it passes through Salesbury until meeting A666, at which point it bypasses Billington, Whalley and Clitheroe before going through the village of Gisburn.
From Horton it enters North Yorkshire and goes through West and East Marton before meeting the A56, after which the road passes Broughton.
Past Broughton, the road meets the Skipton bypass at its western end, where it overlaps the A65 on its route between Kendal and Leeds, de-merging with the A65 further to the east.
The road continues over the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway through a roundabout junction with the B6160 before rising up Beamsley hill.
At the top of the hill, the road crosses into the Harrogate district, at which points there is a long narrow, twisting descent, known as Kex Gill, that leads to Blubberhouses village.
The A59 then runs along the head of Fewston Reservoir and follows the route of a Roman road past the 'golf balls' at Menwith Hill, an RAF station.
Reaching Harrogate as Skipton Road, it meets the A61 Ripon Road for Ripon, Harrogate town centre and Leeds, before continuing through the suburbs of the town as Skipton Road.
The A59 then turns left at the Empress Roundabout, which is itself on the Stray, towards Starbeck, although traffic travelling towards York is directed onto the A661 Wetherby Road to utilise the A658 Harrogate and Knaresborough Southern Bypass.
The A59, however, continues to travel through Starbeck as Knaresborough Road and later High Street, then heads east to Knaresborough, passing through the town centre before heading towards York as York Road.
From Knaresborough, the A59 meets up with York-directed traffic from Harrogate on the A658, and skirts to the north of Goldsborough towards the A1(M).
The A59 heads towards York, travelling close to such places as Nun Monkton, Moor Monkton and Upper Poppleton before finally ending just to the west of the city walls at a zebra crossing at the junction of Bishopthorpe Road and Nunnery Lane, the A1036.
The A59 in Yorkshire from Green Hammerton to York follows the path of an old Roman road known locally as Watling Street and may in Medieval times have been used as a salt road.
Archaeological digging in 2008 showed the Roman road crossing the River Nidd on an old county bridge prior to diverging north-east of Green Hammerton, contrary to previous understanding of the route.
Evidence of ditches earlier than the Roman conquest of Britain were also uncovered during the archaeological dig in 2008, suggesting a road network present in the area dating back to the Iron Age.
Much of the present-day Merseyside alignment is unchanged over the last century, with the route through Liverpool to Switch Island junction in Aintree utilising existing road infrastructure from the Victorian era, such as Scotland Road.
The present day alignment between Switch Island junction and Aughton, Lancashire via Maghull was non-existent prior to the 20th century, with the connecting roads being typically smaller lanes which still exist today.
In Clitheroe district prior to the opening of the new Chatburn road in 1827 the main Liverpool / Skipton route ran through Clitheroe town via Whalley road and Pimlico over the limestone ridge of Chatburn Old road.
The route fell within the first schedule of the act, which also included around of road to be trunked and designated.
Numerous additional bypasses were built after the road was trunked, to realign the A59 away from routes where it may have previously travelled through busy towns and cities.
Prior to the bypass, the A59 travelled through the villages of Walmer Bridge, Longton and Hutton before being realigned to their east.
In Yorkshire at Beamsley Hill, there are two lanes east-bound (on an incline) and a single lane west-bound, some of which was improved at various points during the late 20th century, such as in Hazlewood, where the A59 was rerouted to become a largely straight road, bypassing the now older winding route which exists to its north-west.
The A59 was also rerouted just to the east of the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway during the same period, requiring construction of a new Bolton Bridge over the River Wharfe, with the former alignment now forming a bridleway.
Up until the early 1970s, the start of the A59 was in the centre of Liverpool; this now forms a small spur connecting to the present day A59, which runs through the Kingsway Tunnel from its start point in Wallasey.
In Lancashire, the A59 was realigned during the same period in the early 1970s, to bypass the towns of Clitheroe and Whalley and was constructed as a single-carriageway despite parliamentary concerns that it would be less safe than a dual-carriageway.
The A59 stretch of the Skipton Bypass was opened in 1981 at an estimated cost of £16.4 million (), crossing the B6265 north of the town and providing relief to traffic congestion.
Whilst now skirting to the north of Goldsborough towards the A1(M), originally the route went through the village of Flaxby and onto Allerton, but the route now travels a restricted east–west route and meets the A1(M) at its junction 47.
The road originally ended to the south of Green Hammerton, with the A66 routed down from Boroughbridge and going into York.
The A59 in Yorkshire was part of North Yorkshire's 30 year transport plan in 2016, including maintenance of potholes and resurfacing works, as well as the potential construction of new routes.
Numerous sections of the route have been realigned at various stages, particularly where the previous alignment had travelled through busy villages or towns.
Most have been constructed since the route was trunked and designated the A59, however some parts, such as the Maghull bypass, had been constructed prior to the Trunk Roads Act 1936.
A bypass has been proposed for the Kex Gill section of road that spans from Blubberhouses to the top of Beamsley Hill.
The road has been closed on many occasions since 2010 (particularly in 2016 when it was closed for 8 weeks for emergency repair work).
It was closed again due to a landslip in May 2018 and local planners have stated that a new section of road should be built to the north of the current route on the other side of a very small and narrow valley.
At the same time, they revealed that the closure and repairs bill for the section of the A59 at Kex gill was over £3 million for the period of 2009–2018.
By 1963, Lancashire County Council had dropped the plans for a motorway of this nature, instead deciding to focus later efforts during the mid-1970s on proposing a scheme to improve the A59 link between Liverpool and Preston.
This proposal was at the time considered to potentially become the M59 Motorway, with investigations into all practical options being considered, however the motorway was ultimately never constructed.
A map published by Lancashire County Council and dated 1974 shows the suggested route of the motorway, starting at the missing M58 motorway junction 2 and continuing north-bound towards Blackpool along the alignment of the A59.
North Yorkshire County Council claimed they were taking steps to reduce fatalities on the road and that accidents on the stretch in question was still too high, despite the number of accidents in 2003 being at its lowest in six years.
In 2008 European Road Assessment Programme reported the risk of being involved in a death or disabling injury accident as being between Low-medium and Medium-high depending on the section of road travelled.
A proposal to improve safety of the road between Skipton and Harrogate, which is the only direct route between the towns, was discussed by councillors in March 2017.
Numerous possible re-alignments are being considered in an effort to minimize or eradicate the impact of road closures, which has cost the council almost £1 million.
A section between South Cave and Hull forms the eastward continuation of the M62 motorway and is part of the unsigned Euroroute E20.
The route from Leeds out to Selby runs roughly parallel, and between south of the route of the Leeds and Selby Railway.
The route begins just east of Leeds city centre at a junction with the A61, although, before its February 2009 realignment along the new East Leeds Link Road, it began at a junction with the A64 in the Halton Moor area of the city (now signed as the B6159).
At the end of this dual carriageway section, the route meets the M1, and the road continues north along the motorway for one junction then resumes as the A63.
This dual-carriageway section of the former A1, follows the Leeds – North Yorkshire boundary (Ledsham and South Milford), and was built as part of the Brotherton-Micklefield scheme in November 1964 by Dowsett Engineering Construction.
At the Selby Fork junction south of the Selby Fork Hotel, the A1246 continues southwards along the former A1, and the road enters the district of Selby, in North Yorkshire.
It follows Causeway Dike and passes through Hambleton, where to the east it crosses the Selby Diversion of the East Coast Main Line, and the A1238 (former A63) at a roundabout.
The route follows the six-mile £44 million Selby Bypass and £5 million Barlby Bypass, the latter of which is shared with the north-south A19, although the A19 still passes through Selby itself.
On the bypass the road passes Selby Golf Club, meets the A19 at a roundabout at Brayton, crosses the Selby Canal, crosses the Doncaster-Selby railway, meets the A1041 at a roundabout, and crosses the River Ouse (Ouse Swing Bridge) and the Selby-Hull railway.
The short section around Barlby follows what was the old East Coast Main Line railway before the Selby Diversion opened in the early 1980s.
An alternative route eastwards from the Selby bypass, to the M62, is the A1041 via Camblesforth, then the A645 past Drax power station.
It leaves at the Barlby Roundabout (completed May 2013; formerly a dangerous road junction) to the right, passing Osgodby then over the railway line and passes Hemingbrough.
The section from junction 38 of the M62 (its terminus) to the A1034 junction near South Cave was single carriageway before the M62 opened in May 1976.
The section was constructed as the dualling of the Caves Bypass and opened when the last eastern section of the M62 opened, completing the dual carriageway link to the outskirts of Hull.
The road skirts the southern edge of South Cave, and near Ellerker it crosses the former route (and Ermine Street from Brough, then known as Petuaria, to York) at the A1034 junction.
The road passes on the south side of South Hunsley School (with a leisure centre) at Melton, part of the parish of Welton.
The Humber bridge was designed to take some of Hull's traffic southwards, but the vast majority takes the A63 westwards, towards the M18.
The road passes on the south side of Hessle, next to Hessle railway station, and follows the Hull to Selby railway line closely on the southern side as far as the outskirts of Hull near the western docks.
The Castle Street section of the road (2011) had significant air pollution problems (NO2 levels), with over 55,000 vehicles per day, and had heavy congestion, having been at full capacity for around a decade; much of the traffic is heavy goods vehicles originating as a result of Ro-Ro activity at Hull Docks.
The road section also was experiencing high accident levels, as well as forming a barrier to local north-south movement within the town centre.
Split level junctions including passing under or over the A63 were considered for the bottleneck at the Mytongate roundabout, with additional congestion easing measures, and pedestrian bridges.
In March 2010 the Highways Agency established a preferred scheme – the A63 would be lowered at the Mytongate bottleneck, and the north south connecting roads raised slightly (), creating a split level junction; additionally the eastbound carriageway would be widened, and pedestrian crossings created.
It was originally named Garrison Road but the name was changed to Roger Millward Way in memory of the deceased rugby player in 2018.
Within Drypool there is a northwards junction with the A1165 (Great Union Street), and southwards junction connecting the Victoria Dock Village housing estate at the same point.
It is prone to congestion due to traffic from the Port of Hull and vehicles exiting Victoria Dock heading into the city centre.
On average, the greyish saltator is 20 cm long and weighs 52 g. The plumage depends on age and subspecies, but in general this bird has grey or greyish-olive upperparts, a white stripe over the eye, a narrow white throat, a grey breast and a buff or cinnamon belly.
It appears to be rather close to the type species, the buff-throated saltator, and thus seems more likely than not to retain its genus name.
This species occurs in open woodland, plains and scrub, from Mexico through Central America into southern South America, south to Peru and the Paraná River region in northern Argentina.
It forages at low and middle levels, sometimes in pairs or small groups and sometimes with mixed-species flocks that may include other saltators.
The two pale blue subelliptic eggs per clutch measure some 23–31.5 mm long by about 17–22 mm wide and weigh about 5 grams each.
Charles Nicolas Joseph Justin Favart (17 March 1749 in Paris – 1 or 2 February 1806) was a French playwright at the Comédie-Italienne for two decades.
Usually known as Nicolas Favart, formally Charles-Nicolas Favart or C.-N. Favart, he was simply Favart fils (Favart Jr) in his time.
His son Antoine-Pierre-Charles Favart (1780–1867) was in the diplomatic service, and assisted in editing his grandfather's memoirs; he was a playwright and painter as well.
The Brunswick Centre is a grade II listed residential and shopping centre in Bloomsbury, Camden, London, England, located between Brunswick Square and Russell Square.
The original plan extended up to Euston Road but the Ministry of Defence would not release the site of a building they leased for use by the Territorial Army (and that still stands next to the Centre today).
After failing to attract sufficient private buyers on time, the residential section was leased to the London Borough of Camden for use as council housing, while the developer retained ownership of the structure and shopping areas.
The exterior of the building was never painted because the Borough could not afford to complete work on the building after they took control.
In Hodgkinson's design, the blocks would have been painted cream, a shade typical of the Georgian period, as a homage to the terraced houses that previously stood on the site and those that still surround it.
This included the painting of the blocks in their originally-planned colour and the commissioning of artist Susanna Heron to introduce water features to the central space.
The major work was completed in late 2006 with the opening of branches of several high street chain stores and restaurants.
The dual management has caused problems though, as the landlord restored the structure of the estate but the council is responsible for maintenance of the residential properties – so while the concrete structure was restored, the windows remained untouched, detracting from the overall aesthetic of the development.
Now referring to itself as The Brunswick, the centre contains 560 flats, various shops, cafés and restaurants, a Waitrose supermarket, and a Curzon cinema.
It originally connected Exeter and Southampton, the original A35 ran along what is now the A3052 joining the present road at Charmouth.
After Dorchester, there are approximately of dual carriageway, including the Puddletown bypass, until it reaches its roundabout with the A31 road at Bere Regis.
Continuing roughly south-easterly still, it becomes dual carriageway again near Upton, before returning to a single carriageway through Poole and Bournemouth, apart from a small section of dual carriageway on Wessex Way.
It then heads in a north-easterly direction through the New Forest, passing through Lyndhurst where it meets the A337 road (to Lymington).
It then turns north-east, acting as the western part of Southampton's ring road, with the A27 road making up the eastern part.
In Bournemouth, it has been diverted around the Sovereign Centre of Boscombe along Centenary Way; much of its former road is now pedestrianised.
Some improvements have involved the construction of new dual carriageway bypasses such as the Puddletown bypass which opened in 1999, and others include new sections of single carriageway road, such as its straightening between Slepe and the Upton bypass in 2004, and the extension of the limit west of Slepe by in 2007.
The Puddletown dual carriageway (together with the A30 Honiton-Exeter dualling) were financed under a Design, Build, Finance and Operate (DBFO) contract running from 1996-2026.
Gaudette helped form a neighborhood group, along the lines of those organized by Saul Alinsky, on the far West Side of Chicago called Organization for a Better Austin.
His parents were Roman Catholic and his father a member of a railroad union, two critical influences on Tom Gaudette's later development as a community organizer.
Gaudette served with distinction in the United States Army Air Corps in World War II, surviving the famous raid on Ploesti, Romania, and by war's end earning the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal, and a Presidential Unit Citation.
By the 1950s Tom Gaudette and his wife Kay had settled in Chicago, where he worked as a vice-president for the Admiral Corporation.
Here, he was introduced to community organizing, for his new home had become a center of community organizing because of the work of Saul Alinsky and the Roman Catholic Church.
Alinsky-style community organizing is dedicated to creating grass-roots organizations led by local people with the end of combating government bureaucracies or businesses or other powers unresponsive to local concerns.
Instead, he or she may inspire local communities to action, but the organizer's real job is to identify leaders who can direct the community organizations, so that communities themselves can truly determine their own direction.
Identified with neither socialist thought nor the New Left of the 1960s, community organizing is thus a populist movement possessed of a profound faith in the democratic abilities of local communities to control their destiny.
His Back of the Yards Neighborhood Council successfully fought for major civic improvements and stands as a landmark success in the history of Alinsky's organizing.
An important reason for the success of Alinsky and the Back of the Yards Council was the strong support of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Chicago, with its advocacy of social activism.
Auxiliary Bishop Bernard Sheil championed Alinsky's work in the Back of the Yards, and such other notable Chicago Roman Catholic Church leaders as Cardinal Samuel Stritch and Monsignor John Egan would continue to provide him with invaluable moral and financial support.
Active in their Roman Catholic parish, Tom and Kay Gaudette's involvement in the Christian Family Movement led to their joining the Chatham-Avalon Park Community Council in 1957.
Tom Gaudette emerged as a leader of this organization, serving as its president and spokesman in fights over such issues as zoning restrictions and controls on taverns in Chatham-Avalon Park.
Another key issue, dominant in the Chicago of the 1950s and 1960s, was the African-American integration of white, often ethnic, neighborhoods, with subsequent white flight to the suburbs.
Through his work in these areas, Gaudette met Father Egan, who, as head of the Chicago Archdiocesan Conservation Council concerned with integration, was beginning his rise in the ranks of Roman Catholic social activism.
Impressed with Guadette's character and leadership abilities, Egan believed him the right person to organize an area that the monsignor had targeted for such work: Chicago's West Town, a Polish-American community.
Saul Alinsky had refused Egan's earlier request to organize the area, citing the lack of money and an organizer to carry out the work.
Egan responded by raising money for the project from the archdiocese and sending Gaudette to Alinsky to interview for the position of organizer for West Town.
After an interview memorable for the profane give and take between the two, Alinsky hired Gaudette in 1961, leading to an eleven-year association between the men.
Gaudette went to work for Alinsky on Chicago's west side, organizing the Northwest Community Organization (NCO) in 1961, one of the hallmark Alinsky community organizations in Chicago.
After working with NCO, Gaudette, at the request of Father Egan and other clergy, turned his attention to South Austin in south Chicago.
His work here led to the Organization for a Better Austin (OBA) in 1966, notable for the fact that it brought together African-Americans and whites in an area tormented by racial strife.
Chicago would remain his base of operations, even after Tom Gaudette founded the Mid-America Institute for Community Development in 1972, the same year that Alinsky died.
Gaudette used the Institute (operated out of his Chicago home) for his work throughout the country and even Asia as an independent trainer and teacher of community organizers.
Monsignor Egan credited Tom Gaudette with inspiring more community organizers than any other person, many of whom originally worked with him.
These included Gail Cincotta, who was a member of OBA, and later would become one of the more successful organizers in the United States.
Cincotta's most remarkable accomplishment was her successful campaign for the passage of the Community Reinvestment Act, which the United States Congress passed in 1976.
Another one of Gaudette's more important successes has been his work with John Baumann, S.J., and the Pacific Institute for Community Organization, of Oakland, which stands as one of the more active community organizing networks in the United States today.
Various documents related to Thomas A. Gaudette are archived at Loyola Marymount University as part of its Center for the Study of Los Angeles collection.
It runs east from Birmingham past the National Exhibition Centre and the M42, then bypasses Coventry and Rugby, where it briefly merges with the M45 until it continues to Daventry.
It then heads to Northampton and Wellingborough before running north of Rushden and Higham Ferrers and terminating at its junction with the A14 road in Thrapston.
Prior to the construction of the M6 motorway it was the main route from the Midlands to Ipswich and to the Haven ports.
When the A1-M1 link road section of the current A14 opened in 1994 most of the A45 to the east of Cambridge was re-designated as the A14 and some sections to the west were downgraded to B-roads (including the B645 between Higham Ferrers and St Neots).
Around the same time, the A45 was re-routed around the south of Coventry when the city's southern bypass was completed ).
Initially, the A45 passed through Ipswich to Felixstowe; when the Orwell Bridge was opened in 1982, the road was diverted to pass over the new bridge.
When the new A14 link road between A1 near Huntingdon and the M1 (at its junction with the M6) was opened to traffic in the mid-1990s, the Cambridge to Felixstowe stretch of the A45 was re-designated as the A14 (and many of the villages the route went through were bypassed) and the St Neots to Cambridge section became part of an extended A428.
It passes over the River Cole and meets the A4040 at a grade-separated junction at the Swan Shopping Centre in Yardley.
The section of the A45 from Birmingham city centre to the M45 is all dual carriageway — urban dual carriageway with traffic lights until Birmingham Airport, then rural grade-separated between the airport and Coventry.
The road meets the A452 at Stonebridge at a grade separated junction and passes over the River Blythe where the road briefly enters Warwickshire.
The A45 becomes an urban road and skirts the south side of Coventry, crossing the A4114 near Allesley Park, the B4101 at Tile Hill, West Coast Main Line, A429 and B4113.
Beyond here the road takes a more rural nature, with a grade-separated junction with the A46 and the A444 (three level roundabout with underpass for the A46 and the A444, and an overpass for the A45).
In early 2017, the Tollbar End roundabout was upgraded and the junction is now a roundabout interchange with an underpass for the A46.
The A445 crosses at a roundabout near Ryton on Dunsmore, followed by the War Memorial Roundabout with the B4455 Fosse Way.
This Portland stone memorial obelisk on the roundabout just north of Stretton-on-Dunsmore commemorates King George V's review of the 29th Division before they were sent to Gallipoli.
The road enters Daventry and briefly runs concurrent with the A425 heading to Leamington Spa, then heads south-east on the Daventry bypass, here called the Stefen Way.
The road heads west past Dodford and then bypasses Weedon Bec, crossing the West Coast Main Line and Grand Union Canal and then meets the A5 at a roundabout constructed as part of the Daventry Development Link Road realignment which opened on 15 November 2018.
It then meets the older route (made of sections of the A5076 and A4500) at the A45 / A508 grade-separated junction, near Northampton High School.
It then crosses the River Nene and Nene Way, and after that, there is a large grade-separated junction with the A428 and the A5095).
The road then meets the Wellingborough bypass (A509) at a roundabout, although there is a segregated turn lane for westbound traffic wishing to continue on the A45.
It runs concurrently with the A509 to the grade-separated junction near the bridge over the River Nene, where the A509 exits south near Irchester Country Park.
There is a grade-separated junction for the A5001 into Rushden and the route runs alongside the River Nene, offering a second turning to Rushden at a roundabout with the A5001 again.
The section of dual carriageway from the M1 now ends at the next roundabout and the route from there is now single carriageway.
The route bypasses Ringstead and the A45 finishes at a grade-separated junction with the A14 (roundabout with overpass for the A14) near Thrapston.
Marie Justine Benoîte Favart (née Duronceray) (15 June 1727 – 22 April 1772) was an operatic singer, actress, and dancer, the wife of the dramatist, Charles Simon Favart.
To her is largely due the beginnings of the change in this theatre to performances of a lyric type adapted from Italian models, which developed later into the genuine French comic opera.
She was also a bold reformer in matters of stage costume, playing the peasant with bare arms, in wooden shoes and linen dress, and not, as heretofore, in court costume with enormous hoops, diamonds and long white kid gloves.
Maurice, comte de Saxe, a Marshal of France and her husband's patron, began to make advances to Mme Favart, and Favart was forced to flee.
Mme Favart was established by the marshal in a house at Vaugirard; proving a fickle mistress, she was suddenly arrested and confined in a convent, where she was brought to unconditional surrender in the beginning of 1750.
Before the year was out the marshal died, and Mme Favart reappeared at the Comédie Italienne, where for twenty years she was a great favourite.
In the edition in ten volumes of the works of the couple Favart, published in 1763-1772 at Duchesne (Paris), Volume 5 is devoted exclusively to the dramatic works of Marie Justine Favart.
It was fitted with two 1,330 kW Turbomeca Makila 1A1 turboshaft engines, composite rotor blades, improved landing gear and a modified tailfin.
Canada had considered purchasing the Cougar to replace their CH-113 Labrador, but opted in the end to purchase the CH-149 Cormorant.
In 2012 France began a €288.8m project (€11.1m/unit) to upgrade 23 Army Cougars and 3 for the Air Force to address obsolescence issues and to deliver similar avionics to their EC225 and EC725 helicopters.
It runs north from Perth through Blairgowrie and Rattray, then through the Grampian Mountains by way of Glenshee, the Cairnwell Pass and Glen Clunie to Braemar in Aberdeenshire.
At Braemar, the road then switches east down the strath of the River Dee before crossing the A90 and terminating in Aberdeen.
Leaving Perth it passes Scone Palace, ancient coronation site of Scottish kings and now home to Britain's most northerly racecourse, continues through the planned 19th-century village of Guildtown before crossing the River Isla and passing the famous Meikleour Beech Hedge, planted to commemorate the 1715 Jacobite Rebellion and now the tallest hedge in the world.
6 miles up Glenericht it reaches the little village of Bridge of Cally and begins the long climb up into Glenshee, eventually passing the historic settlement of Spittal of Glenshee whose hotel was originally a shelter for travellers run by monks from Coupar Angus abbey.
At this point it climbs from Glenshee onto the bleak desolate moors of Glenbeg and the snow gates at Spittal of Glenshee are regularly closed in winter, which here can be from October to April, to prevent motorists becoming stranded overnight.
At the Cairnwell Pass, the road reaches its maximum altitude of 670 metres (2199 feet) above sea level and passes the Glenshee Ski Centre, Scotland's largest ski centre.
The southern approach to the Cairnwell Pass used to include a notorious double hairpin bend with steep gradients known as the Devil's Elbow.
This was bypassed by a new stretch of road in the early 1970s but the old hairpin bends and World War II anti-tank traps can be accessed on foot from a layby part way up the hill.
Over the summit of the Cairnwell Pass the road enters Aberdeenshire and the standard of the carriageway improves considerably, wider and better surfaced than the 42 miles in Perthshire.
Descending now, it runs along deserted Glen Clunie alongside the Clunie Water for 8 miles to Braemar, a pretty village 1110 feet above sea level at the west end of Royal Deeside.
So far the road has been running roughly north but here it turns east for the 60-mile descent to the North Sea at Aberdeen.
10 miles from Braemar it passes Balmoral Castle, holiday home of the Royal Family, then continues through Ballater, where many small local shops proudly display the Royal Warrant, Dinnet, Aboyne, Kincardine O'Neil, Banchory and Peterculter before entering Aberdeen city.
It runs south from Banff on the north coast through Aberchirder, Huntly, Rhynie and Mossat before terminating at its junction with the A93 road at Dinnet.
It has the distinction of being the city's oldest residential community, where people have continuously inhabited since it was settled in the 1630s.
The construction of the building also led to the development of the area now known as North Square, which was the center of community life.
Increase Mather, the minister of the North Meeting House, was an influential and powerful figure who attracted residents to the North End.
Part of Copp's Hill was converted to a cemetery, called the North Burying Ground (now known as Copp's Hill Burying Ground).
In the early stages of the Revolution, the Hutchinson Mansion, located in North Square, was attacked by anti-Stamp Act rioters on the evening of August 26, 1765, forcing then Lieutenant Governor Thomas Hutchinson to flee through his garden.
In 1770, 11-year-old Christopher Seider was part of an angry crowd that attacked the home of a Custom's Office employee, which was located on Hanover Street.
Successive waves of immigrants came to Boston and settled in the neighborhood, beginning with the Irish and continuing with Eastern European Jews and Italians.
Boston as a whole was prosperous, however, and the wealthy residents of the North End moved to newer, more fashionable neighborhoods such as Beacon Hill.
In 1849, a cholera epidemic swept through Boston, hitting the North End most harshly; most of the seven hundred victims were North Enders.
In the latter half of the 19th century, several charitable groups were formed in the North End to provide aid to its impoverished residents.
The North Bennet Street Industrial School (now known as North Bennet Street School) was also founded at around this time to provide North End residents with the opportunity to gain skills that would help them find employment.
Beginning in the 1880s, North End residents began to replace the dilapidated wooden housing with four- and five-story brick apartment buildings, most of which still stand today.
The city contributed to the revitalization of the neighborhood by constructing the North End Park and Beach, Copp's Hill Terrace, and the North End Playground.
Also during this time, the city of Boston upgraded many public facilities in the neighborhood: the Christopher Columbus School (now a condominium building), a public bathhouse, and a branch of the Boston Public Library were built.
These investments, as well as the creation of the Paul Revere Mall (also known as the Prado), contributed to the North End's modernization.
In 1918, the Spanish Influenza Pandemic hit the crowded North End severely; so many children were orphaned as a result of the pandemic that the city created the Home for Italian Children to care for them.
The following year, in 1919, the Purity Distilling Company's 2.3 million gallon molasses storage tank explosively burst open, causing the Great Molasses Flood.
In 1934, the Sumner Tunnel was constructed to connect the North End to East Boston, the location of the then-new Boston Airport (now Logan International Airport)and Boston's formerly second Little Italy.
In the 1950s the John F. Fitzgerald Expressway (locally known as the Central Artery) was built to relieve Boston’s traffic congestion.
Hundreds of North End buildings were demolished below Cross Street, and the Artery walled off the North End from downtown, isolating the neighborhood.
The increased traffic led to the construction of a second tunnel between the North End and East Boston; this second tunnel (the Callahan Tunnel) opened in 1961.
Although the construction of the Central Artery created years' worth of disorder, in the 1950s the North End had low disease rates, low mortality rates, and little street crime.
During this time, many shops in the neighborhood closed, the St. Mary's Catholic School and the St. Mary's Catholic Church closed, and the waterfront industries either relocated or went defunct.
During the 1970s and 1980s, the Boston Redevelopment Authority approved high-rise, high-density housing projects in the neighborhood while North End residents worked to build affordable housing for the elderly.
In 1976, the neighborhood welcomed President Ford and Queen Elizabeth II, who each visited the North End as part of the United States Bicentennial Celebrations.
During the late 20th century through the early 21st century, the Central Artery was dismantled and replaced by the Big Dig project.
Throughout the construction process, access to the North End was difficult for both residents and visitors; as a result, many North End businesses closed.
The North End's modern boundaries are to the northeast of the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, with the outlet of the Charles and Mystic Rivers to the North, and Boston Harbor to the East.
The Charlestown Bridge crosses the mouth of the Charles River to connect the North End to Charlestown, while the Callahan Tunnel, Sumner Tunnel, and MBTA Blue Line tunnel connect it to East Boston.
Commercial Street and Atlantic Avenue border the neighborhood on the harbor side, while Hanover Street bisects the neighborhood and is the main north-south street.
Other notable green spaces include Cutillo Park, Langone Park, DeFilippo Playground, the Paul Revere Mall (The Prado),and the Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park.
No MBTA Subway station is within the neighborhood, but stations serving the Blue, Orange, and Green Lines are within 5-10 minute walks, including Aquarium, Haymarket, and North Station.
The majority of the North End's residents are White (90.88%), followed by Hispanic or Latino (3.69%), Asian (2.83%), Black/African Americans (1.13%), two or more races/ethnicities (1.01%) other race/ethnicity (0.29%), American Indian and Alaska Native (0.15%), and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander (0.03%).
The North End is located within the A-1 police district (Downtown, Beacon Hill, and Chinatown are also included in this district).
Other areas of ongoing concern are several attacks on women in recent years and a series of breaking and enterings to residential apartments.
Members of the Patriarca crime family have historically lived in or operated out of the North End, including Gennaro Angiulo, Gaspare Messina, and the Dinunzio brothers (Anthony & Carmen).
A small community of free African Americans lived at the base of Copp's Hill from the 17th to the 19th century.
Members of this community were buried in the Copp's Hill Burying Ground, where a few remaining headstones can still be seen today.
Between 1845 and 1853, a massive wave of Irish immigrants settled in the North End; the neighborhood became predominantly Irish (the city's overall population was also affected, going from a predominantly Yankee-Protestant city to being one-third Irish in just a few years).
By 1922, however, the majority of Jewish residents had moved out of the North End, preferring other neighborhoods such as Roxbury.
The population of Italian immigrants in the North End grew steadily until reaching its peak, in 1930, of 44,000 (99.9% of the neighborhood's total population).
Although many businesses, social clubs, and religious institutions celebrate the neighborhood's Italian heritage, only about three percent of the North End's current residents are of Italian descent.
The street on which the building was constructed was renamed Michelangelo Street, and remains the only street in the North End with an Italian name.
Later immigrants found more opportunities in the construction trades, and by 1920 the neighborhood was served by Italian physicians, dentists, funeral homes, and barbers.
After World War II, however, Italian Americans began to gain political power which then helped the community to address these issues.
Italian feasts, such as the Feast of St. Anthony and the Fisherman's Feast, are still celebrated in the streets of the North End, and draw large crowds.
It consists of framed portraits of Roman Catholic saints hung on a brick wall, some of which are visible from the street.
Every summer, the residents of the North End hold festivals (feasts) to honor the patron saints of different regions in Italy.
Statues of the saints are paraded down the streets of the neighborhood while well-wishers attach dollar bills to the statues as a donation and show of support.
The North End has a mixture of architecture from all periods of American history, including early structures such as the Old North Church (1723), the Paul Revere House (1680), the Pierce-Hichborn House (1711), and the Clough House (1712).
However, the bulk of the architecture seen in the area today dates from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, when tenement architecture replaced mansions and other buildings to accommodate the influx of immigrants.
By the time of the Great Depression, the North End's reputation as a city slum resulted in lending discrimination; the area's residents could not obtain mortgages for construction or rehabilitation.
Instead, residents, many of whom were carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and masons, lent their labor to each other and succeeded at rehabilitating the North End's buildings at low cost.
Starting in the mid-1970s, the abandoned industrial area along the North End's waterfront was rebuilt and converted into a luxury housing and business district.
The school opened as the North Writing School in 1713 and merged with the North Latin School in 1790 to form the John Eliot School; it is Boston's oldest continuously-run school.
Between 2007 and 2011, school administrators instituted a successful improvement program, and, by 2012 the Eliot school was classified as an innovation school which was recognized for excellence by Governor Deval Patrick.
The North End is also home to the North Bennet Street School, a trade and craftmanship school that was founded in 1885.
Commercial Street has two lanes of northbound and one lane of southbound traffic; and goes around the North End's eastern perimeter.
The North End is accessible via mass transit, including the MBTA's Orange and Green Lines at Haymarket and North Station, the Blue Line at Aquarium Station, four commuter rail lines at North Station, and by the 4, 89/93, 92, 93, 111, 117, 191, 192, 193, 325, 326, 352, 354, 424, 426, 426/455, and 428 bus lines.
Several ferries depart from Long Wharf, connecting the North End by water to Hull, Hingham, Charlestown, Salem (seasonally), Provincetown (seasonally), and Logan Airport.
Boston Harbor Cruises' on demand water taxis stop at five North End docks: Long Wharf, Yacht Haven Marina, Sargents Wharf, Burroughs Wharf, and Battery Wharf.
Three BLUEBikes (formerly Hubway) bikeshare stations are on the edges of neighborhood: at Commercial and Fleet Streets, Hanover and Cross Streets, and Atlantic Avenue and Long Wharf.
It runs west from its junction with the A82 road at Invergarry (), along the north shores of Loch Garry and Loch Cluanie, then down through Glen Shiel and along Loch Duich to Kyle of Lochalsh before crossing the Skye Bridge to Kyleakin, Broadford, and Portree, before terminating at Uig in the north of the Isle of Skye.
Until the 1960s, the road ran along Glen Garry as far as Tomdoun, before heading north over the hills to Glen Loyne, where it crossed Loch Loyne with two bridges.
The A87 route used to involve a short ferry crossing over Loch Long at Dornie, but this has since been replaced with a bridge.
In 1995 the Skye Bridge replaced the ferry between Kyle of Localsh on the mainland and Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye.
It runs east from Oban along the south bank of Loch Etive, through Lochawe and Tyndrum, Crianlarich, Lochearnhead, St Fillans and Crieff before passing through Perth, where it crosses the River Tay via Perth Bridge.
It then multiplexes with the A90 to the Swallow Roundabout before diverging to follow the Invergowrie Bypass, Riverside Avenue and Riverside Drive before terminating in Dundee city centre.
The A90 road from Perth to Dundee was previously numbered A85; on opening of an upgraded A94 to Aberdeen the A90 number was continued across the Friarton Bridge (previously M85) and on to the A85 route, then from Swallow Roundabout to Aberdeen.
The Perth-Dundee stretch was formerly part of the Euroroute system, of route E120 which ran in a circular route between Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee and Perth.
Some statistics seem to show that the stretch of the A85 between Oban and Tyndrum is among the ten most dangerous roads in Scotland.
It runs south west from Edinburgh for approximately 70 miles, through Saughton, Wilkieston and south of Livingston, Whitburn and Wishaw, then by way of Overtown, Garrion Bridge, Stonehouse, Strathaven, Darvel, Newmilns, Galston, Hurlford and Kilmarnock to Irvine on the North Ayrshire coast.
Formerly a trunk route from the east to the west coast of Scotland it has since been downgraded to a mix of primary and secondary routes.
It passes through the village of Wilkieston and onto the Mid Calder bypass, which leads the route to the south of Livingston.
West of Livingston, the A71 turns sharply south west, bypassing Shotts, Newmains and Wishaw then descends steeply into the Clyde Valley, over Garrion Bridge at the junction with the A72.
The A71 climbs steeply up the western side of the Clyde valley on a road which it shares for a very short section with the A72.
When the A71 peaks at the top of the valley, it goes under the M74 at Jct 8 (a junction known locally as Canderside Toll), before turning towards the village of Stonehouse, where a bypass takes traffic to the north of the narrow village roads, before descending into the Avon valley and into Strathaven.
This village, at a meeting of the A71, A723 and A726, provides a link to East Kilbride and Paisley, as well as to Lanark, Hamilton and Motherwell.
The A71 then becomes a narrow and winding road across moorland, as the road ascends to the head of the Avon valley.
At the highest point is Loudoun Hill, an ancient site of human occupation, and the road here follows the route of a minor Roman road which once linked the Clyde Valley and the coast.
The road descends into the Irvine Valley, going through the towns of Darvel and Newmilns, and bypassing Galston and then through Hurlford.
At Darvel, the A71 becomes a primary route for the rest of its length to Irvine, and widens slightly, with a straighter alignment until its junction with the A77, south of Kilmarnock.
A crash barrier runs along the central reservation of the dual-carriageway from the A77 to the boundary with North Ayrshire at Dreghorn.
In mid 2014, the road began to subside between Darvel and Newmilns, with the westbound lane being affected near to the entrance to Gowanbank House.
Traffic lights were put in place while a solution was sought, however as of January 2017, a solution has been found and the traffic lights have been lifted.
The history of the province of Scania was for many hundred years, up until the 18th century, marked by the struggle between the two Scandinavian kingdoms of Denmark and Sweden over the hegemony in the Baltic area.
It was previously thought that society in Scania, like in the rest of Scandinavia, was made up of farmers mostly Fen farmers and cattle farmers, thralls, the farmer being free and equal, and having their say at the Things in the affairs of society.
The plains were to a large extent divided up between large farms which were far bigger than smallholdings, and were often grouped in villages.
Scania had 5 main tribes each having had their own Thanes (leaders), and their own group of warriors, all under the command of the King of Scania.
It now seems likely that a period of domestic colonization within Scania that was earlier believed to have started before the Viking Age, in reality largely took place after the Viking Age, when donations of land to monasteries led to influences from Continental Europe.
Between 1104 and 1536, Lund was the Archbishopric of Denmark, and the Danish National Banner, Dannebrog, was preserved in the Cathedral for several centuries.
King Magnus took advantage of his neighbour's distress, redeeming these lands for the eastern Danish provinces for a huge amount of silver, which included Scania.
The province was later reconquered by the great Danish king Valdemar IV of Denmark in 1360, as part of his conquest campaign to regain previously lost Danish territory.
During parts of the Middle Ages, Scania was known throughout Northern Europe for its herring and the market where it was sold.
The Union was largely a creation of Queen Margaret who had become Queen in Denmark and Norway in 1387, as her only son, King Olaf II of Denmark and IV of Norway died.
Her adopted son Boguslaw, actual son of a Polish-Pomeranian Duke, was given the name Eric of Pomerania, as he was crowned King of all three Scandinavian countries on 17 June 1397 in Kalmar, hence the name of the Union.
King Eric founded the Scanian Town, which today is known as Landskrona at the central part of the all Danish Øresund, and introduced the Sound Dues (Øresundtolden) in 1429, which was to last until 1857 (with exception of Swedish ships between 1658 and 1720).
By this he secured a large stable income for his kingdom that made it relatively rich and which made the town of Elsinore (Helsingør) flowering.
By possessing both sides of the Öresund strait, as well as The Belts, Denmark had effective control over the entrance to the Baltic Sea and was able to monopolize trade through the sounds.
The Sound Dues constituted the major source of income for the Danish crown, up until the 19th century and was resented by the Swedish Crown.
In the winter of 1612, over a period of two weeks, the Swedish King Gustav II Adolf burned down or otherwise destroyed 24 Scanian parishes and most of their population without meeting any enemy troops.
The largest destroyed settlement was the Town Væ, which two years later was replaced by Danish King Christian IV as the nearby Christiansted (after the Swedification process, spelled Kristianstad), the last Scanian town to be founded by a Danish king.
Following the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, Scania together with all Danish lands east of Øresund became a possession of the Swedish Crown.
This treaty followed the Dano-Swedish War (1657-1658), which was a part of a wider war, which also included Poland and some of the German states of that time.
This resulted in a Swedish defeat, and as a result of the Treaty of Copenhagen (1660) Bornholm was returned to Denmark and the present border between the countries was established.
Scania, together with the other so-called Scanian provinces, was placed under a Governor-General taking up residence in the city of Malmö.
This type of government was used in territories which were not fully integrated and were regarded as being more exposed to enemy attacks.
However, there had long been plans to establish a university in Götaland and with the new borders Lund and Scania were chosen.
In 1676 was the province regained by Denmark and many Scanians either joined the Danish army or fought with the Danish.
Landskrona Citadel became used as the primary Danish base and recruitment centre Turning points came with the Swedish victories in the Battle of Lund in December 1676 and the Battle of Landskrona in July 1677.
For a tiny sum should the Treaty of Copenhagen (1660) borders be restored, and yet again would Scania become subordinated to the Swedish King against the will of its people.
In 1682, the Diet downgraded the Council of State to a King's Council and gave the king unlimited powers to legislate without the need for confirmation from the Diet.
A decision not to honour the agreement of the Malmö Recess soon followed and a tougher Swedification program was implemented in Scania, aiming to create uniformity within the Swedish kingdom.
Scania was allowed to retain its old laws and customs until 1683, at which point the Swedish administration persuaded the Scanian aristocracy to waive the Scanian laws and privileges in favour of the new Swedish law and church ordinance, as a condition for allowing Scanians to have representation in the Swedish parliament.
The propaganda was not only aimed at convincing the Swedish population of the king's divinely ordained power, but was also part of a campaign to present Sweden to the world as an imperial power of considerable wealth and military glory.
Blekinge and especially Halland were successively removed from the Skåneland dominion and became fully integrated into the Swedish Kingdom, while the four counties of Scania were joined into one county.
The latest battle between Denmark and Sweden concerning the control of Scania was the Battle of Helsingborg (1710) during the Great Northern War.
Scania, eventually became an official part of Sweden after a treaty in Stockholm of 3 July 1720, although Scania had been divided into two counties, Malmöhus County (labeled after the Castle Malmöhus) and Kristianstad County already in the year before.
Between 1801 and 1809, Johan Christopher Toll was appointed Governor-General of Scania, with the county governors of Kristianstad County and Malmöhus County answering to him.
In the Second Treaty of Brömsebro (1645), Sweden's representatives stipulated toll freedom in Öresund for the country, and after this point, Sweden was exempted from paying the Danish Sound Toll.
King Charles XII took up residence in the city of Lund for two years after his return to Sweden from the Ottoman Empire in 1716.
The last peace treaty between Sweden and Denmark was signed in the summer of 1720 (in Stockholm), and from that year Scania became a Swedish province.
Rutger Macklean was the first to enforce this largely good reform in the 1780s, at his feudal domains around Svaneholm Castle.
Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, the future king Charles XIV John, landed in Helsingborg on the 20 of October 1810 on his way from Paris to Stockholm.
In the aftermath two men publicly first got their right hand cut off and then were beheaded at Stortorget square in Malmö.
The first horse-drawn railway (although with wooden rails) on Swedish soil was opened in 1798 at Höganäs, connecting the coal mine with the harbour.
Train ferries began to sail the HH route between Helsingborg and Elsinore in 1892 and from 1909 on the route Trelleborg – Sassnitz, Germany.
In order to confirm the joint Scandinavian neutrality during the then ongoing World War, the Swedish King Gustav V, the Danish King Christian X and (his brother) the Norwegian King Håkon VII met together with their Ministers of Foreign Affairs, at Malmö.
In 1924 the world's shortest international air route was opened from Malmö Bulltofta Airport to Copenhagen, Denmark, using Junkers F 13.
Then Germany gave the Russian communist agitator Vladimir Lenin and his companions in Switzerland a safe-conduct through the German Empire, in the hope that Lenin and the communists would destabilise Russia so that hopefully peace could be achieved at the Eastern Front.
In August 1917 Lenin and his entourage arrived to Scania, on this historically important journey, through the train ferry line between Saßnitz (Germany) and Trelleborg (Scania in Sweden).
For the 1958 FIFA World Cup was Malmö Stadion build, it was a venue for both football and track and field.
A new administrative pattern was set up 1997 when Kristianstad County and Malmöhus County were amalgamated, forming Skåne County with 33 municipalities.
At 6.22 am CET, on 16 December 2008 did a very unusual earthquake hit not only Scania, but was felt in large parts of Götaland, Denmark and Northern Germany and Poland.
Its epicentre was located close to Sjöbo, and measured 4.8–4.9 on the Richter Scale, and was the worst earthquake in Sweden for a century or longer, according to the closest seismographic station, which is located in Berlin, Germany The craw-flight distance between Sjöbo and Berlin is less than 400 km.
An ecumenical liturgy was held in the 900 year old Lund Cathedral and the following morning the pope conducted a Catholic mass at Malmö FF's football stadium.
During the ecumenical commemoration in the Cathedral the Pope and the president of the Lutheran World Federation, Bishop Dr Munib Younan signed a treaty in which Lutherans and Catholics promised each other to in the future see more to what unites than differs between these two branches of Christianity (The Pope had earlier done the same with the Orthodox Church).
Francesco Minerva (31 January 1904 – 23 August 2004) was an Italian clergyman; at his death he was the second-oldest living bishop in the Roman Catholic Church, after Corrado Bafile.
Pope Pius XII named Minerva bishop of Nardò in 1948, and in 1950 transferred him to the somewhat larger diocese of Lecce.
While his successor in Nardò, Corrado Ursi, went on to become Archbishop of Naples and a Cardinal, Minerva continued in Lecce, which was elevated to an archdiocese in 1980, and retired in 1981.
In most occupied climates water offers the thermal conductivity advantages of a liquid with unusually high specific heat capacity and the option of evaporative cooling.
Low cost often allows rejection as waste after a single use, but recycling coolant loops may be pressurized to eliminate evaporative loss and offer greater portability and improved cleanliness.
Disadvantages of water cooling systems include accelerated corrosion and maintenance requirements to prevent heat transfer reductions from biofouling or scale formation.
Water cooling is commonly used for cooling automobile internal combustion engines and large industrial facilities such as nuclear and steam electric power plants, hydroelectric generators, petroleum refineries and chemical plants.
Other uses include cooling the barrels of machine guns, cooling of lubricant oil in pumps; for cooling purposes in heat exchangers; cooling products from tanks or columns; for cooling in HVAC in chillers , and recently, cooling of various major components inside high-end personal computers such as CPUs, GPUs, and motherboards.
Water has unusually high specific heat capacity among commonly available liquids at room temperature and atmospheric pressure allowing efficient heat transfer over distance with low rates of mass transfer.
Water's high enthalpy of vaporization allows the option of efficient evaporative cooling to remove waste heat in cooling towers or cooling ponds.
Water is an ideal cooling medium for vessels as they are constantly surrounded by water that generally remains at a low temperature throughout the year.
Water containing sediment may require velocity restrictions through piping to avoid erosion at high velocity or blockage by settling at low velocity.
Flow characteristics of recirculating cooling water systems encourage colonization by sessile organisms to use the circulating supply of food, oxygen and nutrients.
Biofouling of heat exchange surfaces can reduce heat transfer rates of the cooling system; and biofouling of cooling towers can alter flow distribution to reduce evaporative cooling rates.
Temperature differences may discourage establishment of thermophilic populations in intermittently operated facilities; and intentional short term temperature spikes may periodically kill less tolerant populations.
Preservation of machinery in the presence of hot water has been improved by addition of corrosion inhibitors including zinc, chromates and phosphates.
With the exception of machines with short design life, closed recirculating systems require periodic cooling water treatment or replacement raising similar concern about ultimate disposal of cooling water containing chemicals used with environmental safety assumptions of a closed system.
Total dissolved solids or TDS (sometimes called filtrable residue) is measured as the mass of residue remaining when a measured volume of filtered water is evaporated.
Corrosion rates initially increase with salinity in response to increasing electrical conductivity, but then decrease after reaching a peak as higher levels of salinity decrease dissolved oxygen levels.
Acid may be added to cooling water systems to prevent scale formation if the pH decrease will offset increased salinity and dissolved solids.
Concentrations of polyphosphates or phosphonates with zinc and chromates or similar compounds have been maintained in cooling systems to keep heat exchange surfaces clean so a film of gamma iron oxide and zinc phosphate may inhibit corrosion by passivating anodic and cathodic reaction points.
These increase salinity and total dissolved solids, and phosphorus compounds may provide the limiting essential nutrient for algal growth contributing to biofouling of the cooling system or to eutrophication of natural aquatic environments receiving blowdown or OTC water.
Chromates reduce biofouling in addition to effective corrosion inhibition, but residual toxicity in blowdown or OTC water has encouraged reduced chromate concentrations and use of less flexible corrosion inhibitors.
Chlorine may be added in the form of hypochlorite to decrease biofouling, but is later reduced to chloride to minimize toxicity of blowdown or OTC water returned to natural aquatic environments.
Water returned to aquatic environments at temperatures higher than the ambient receiving water modify aquatic habitat by increasing biochemical reaction rates and decreasing oxygen saturation capacity of the habitat.
Temperature increases initially favor a population shift from species requiring the high-oxygen concentration of cold water to those enjoying advantages of increased metabolic rates in warm water.
Such facilities are built with intake structures designed to pump in large volumes of water at a high rate of flow.
These structures tend to also pull in large numbers of fish and other aquatic organisms, which are killed or injured on the intake screens.
Large flow rates may immobilize slow-swimming organisms including fish and shrimp on screens protecting the small bore tubes of the heat exchangers from blockage.
High temperatures or pump turbulence and shear may kill or disable smaller organisms passing the screens entrained with the cooling water.
More agile aquatic predators consume organisms impinged on the screens; and warm water predators and scavengers colonize the cooling water discharge to feed on entrained organisms.
As an alternative to OTC, industrial cooling towers may use river water, coastal water (seawater), or well water as their source of fresh cooling water.
The large mechanical induced-draft or forced-draft cooling towers in industrial plants continuously circulate cooling water through heat exchangers and other equipment where the water absorbs heat.
That heat is then rejected to the atmosphere by the partial evaporation of the water in cooling towers where upflowing air is contacted with the circulating downflow of water.
This method was common in early internal combustion engines, until scale buildup was observed from dissolved salts and minerals in the water.
Modern open cooling systems continuously waste a fraction of recirculating water as blowdown to remove dissolved solids at concentrations low enough to prevent scale formation.
Automotive and many other engine cooling applications require the use of a water and antifreeze mixture to lower the freezing point to a temperature unlikely to be experienced.
Antifreeze also inhibits corrosion from dissimilar metals and can increase the boiling point, allowing a wider range of water cooling temperatures.
Its distinctive odor also alerts operators to cooling system leaks and problems that would go unnoticed in a water-only cooling system.
The heated coolant mixture can also be used to warm the air inside the car by means of the heater core.
Such products are used to enhance the cooling of underperforming or undersized cooling systems or in racing where the weight of a larger cooling system could be a disadvantage.
As these devices uses high operation voltages ( around 10 kV), the use of deionized water is required and it has to be carefully controlled.
Water cooling is however also sometimes used for thyristors of HVDC valves, for which also the use of deionized water is required.
This type of cooling is a solution to ensure the optimisation of energy efficiency while simultaneously minimising noise and space requirements.
After disassembly of the rack, advanced technology quick release couplings eliminate spillage for the safety of operators and protects the integrity of fluids (no impurities in the circuits).
Water cooling often adds complexity and cost in comparison to air cooling design by requiring a pump, tubing or piping to transport the water, and a radiator, often with fans, to reject the heat to the atmosphere.
Depending on the application, water cooling may create an additional element of risk where leakage from the water coolant recycle loop may corrode or short-circuit sensitive electronic components.
The primary advantage of water cooling for cooling CPU cores in computing equipment is transporting heat away from the source to a secondary cooling surface to allow for large, more optimally designed radiators rather than small, relatively inefficient fins mounted directly on the heat source.
Through the 1990s, water cooling for home PCs slowly gained recognition among enthusiasts, but it started to become noticeably more prevalent after the introduction of the first Gigahertz-clocked processors in the early 2000s.
As of 2018, there are dozens of manufacturers of water cooling components and kits, and many computer manufacturers include preinstalled water cooling solutions for their high-performance systems.
By transferring device heat to a separate heat exchanger which can variously be made large and use larger, lower-speed fans, water cooling can allow quieter operation, improved processor speeds (overclocking), or a balance of both.
They were made from car radiators (or more commonly, a car's heater core), aquarium pumps and home-made water blocks, laboratory-grade PVC and silicone tubing and various reservoirs (homemade using plastic bottles, or constructed using cylindrical acrylic or sheets of acrylic, usually clear) and or a T-Line.
Water cooling systems in which water is cooled directly by the evaporator coil of a phase change system are able to chill the circulating coolant below the ambient air temperature (impossible with a standard heat exchanger) and, as a result, generally provide superior cooling of the computer's heat-generating components.
The downside of phase-change or thermoelectric cooling is that it uses much more electricity, and antifreeze must be added due to the low temperature.
Additionally, insulation, usually in the form of lagging around water pipes and neoprene pads around the components to be cooled, must be used in order to prevent damage caused by condensation of water vapour from the air on chilled surfaces.
An alternative cooling system, which enables components to be cooled below the ambient temperature, but which obviates the requirement for antifreeze and lagged pipes, is to place a thermoelectric device (commonly referred to as a 'Peltier junction' or 'pelt' after Jean Peltier, who documented the effect) between the heat-generating component and the water block.
Because the only sub-ambient temperature zone now is at the interface with the heat-generating component itself, insulation is required only in that localized area.
Apple's Power Mac G5 was the first mainstream desktop computer to have water cooling as standard (although only on its fastest models).
Machine guns used in fixed defensive positions sometimes use water cooling to extend barrel life through periods of rapid fire, but the weight of the water and pumping system significantly reduces the portability of water-cooled firearms.
A hospital in Sweden relies on snow-cooling from melt-water from to cool its data centers, medical equipment, and maintain a comfortable ambient temperature.
For the main cooling system, normal water is preferably employed through the use of a heat exchanger, as heavy water is much more expensive.
High-grade industrial water (produced by reverse osmosis or distillation) and potable water are sometimes used in industrial plants requiring high-purity cooling water.
This metamaterial aids in cooling of water and increasing the efficiency of power generation, in which it would cool the underneath objects, by reflecting the sun's rays while at the same time allowing the surface to discharge its heat as an infrared thermal radiation.
The first Regius Professorship was in the field of medicine, and founded by the Scottish King James IV at the University of Aberdeen in 1497.
Regius chairs have since been instituted in various universities, in disciplines judged to be fundamental and for which there is a continuing and significant need.
Each was established by an English, Scottish, or British monarch, and following proper advertisement and interview through the offices of the university and the national government, the current monarch still appoints the professor (except for those at the University of Dublin in Ireland, which left the United Kingdom in 1922).
In October 2012 it was announced that Queen Elizabeth II would create up to six new Regius Professorships, to be announced in early 2013, to mark her Diamond Jubilee.
In January 2013 the full list was announced, comprising twelve new chairs, probably the largest number ever created in one year, and more than created in most centuries.
The A62 is a major road in Northern England that runs between the two major cities of Manchester and Leeds, covering a distance of .
The A62 runs north east from the Manchester Inner Ring Road (beginning as Oldham Street and Oldham Road) through Failsworth and Oldham then Saddleworth before crossing the Pennines at Standedge into West Yorkshire.
Komsomolsk-on-Amur () is a city in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia, located on the left bank of the Amur River in the Russian Far East.
The future site of Komsomolsk-on-Amur was conquered by Mongols in the 13th century, becoming part of Mongol Empire under the Mongol Yuan Dynasty and later Manchus held until 1858 treaty of Aigun ceded the area to the Russian Empire.
The village of Permskoye () was established on the later site of Komsomolsk in 1860 by migrant peasants from what is now Perm Krai.
The government of the Russian SFSR announced in 1931 plans to construct a shipyard on the Amur at the present site of Komsomolsk, with construction beginning in 1932.
However, the construction of the town was aided with the use of penal labour from the prison camps situated in the area.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Komsomolsk-on-Amur serves as the administrative center of Komsomolsky District, even though it is not a part of it.
As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as the city of krai significance of Komsomolsk-na-Amure—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.
In accordance with the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR of 19 October 1943 were formed Lenin, Stalin and Central areas.
Areas of the city are very different architectural appearance: Center Stalinist buildings dominated the 40-50s (exception - the residential area near the railway station), Dzemgi is built up mainly typical panel apartment blocks.
Temperatures in the area of the city typically change by over over the course of the year, with a daily average of in January, compared to in July.
It has manufactured hundreds of civil aircraft and thousands of various-role military aircraft from the first recon aircraft to modern Su- series fighters and light amphibian aeroplanes.
It runs north east from Prescot on the outskirts of Liverpool via St Helens, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Hindley, Westhoughton, Bolton, Bury, Heywood, Rochdale and Littleborough, then over the Pennines into West Yorkshire.
The road then goes through Ripponden and Sowerby Bridge to Halifax and onwards to Leeds via the villages of Hipperholme, Birkenshaw and Drighlington.
It runs through Leeds as the A58(M) motorway (part of the Leeds Inner Ring Road), then north-east through Scarcroft, Bardsey and Collingham to its terminus at Wetherby.
The original route between Leeds and Wetherby was bypassed with a new dual carriageway diverting from Roundhay Road/ Wetherby Road, at the old Fforde Grene junction in Harehills.
The re-routed section was constructed in the 1930s and had a branch of the Leeds Tramway running along the central reservation until the 1950s.
Constance succeeded her father at the age of two, after he fell in battle, although his cousin, Roger II of Sicily, laid claim to Antioch.
After he died in 1131, Alice again tried to take control of the government, but the Antiochene barons acknowledged the right of her brother-in-law, Fulk of Anjou, to rule as regent for Constance.
After her second husband fell into captivity around 11601161, Constance wanted to rule Antioch alone, but BaldwinIII of Jerusalem declared her fifteen-year-old son, Bohemond III, the lawful prince.
Born in 1128, Constance was the only child of Prince Bohemond II of Antioch and Alice, the second daughter of King Baldwin II of Jerusalem.
According to rumors spreading in Antioch, Alice was planning to send Constance to a monastery or to marry her off to a commoner.
Bohemond's cousin, Roger II of Sicily, regarded himself as Bohemond's lawful successor because he was the senior member of the House of Hauteville.
The Antiochene noblemen sent envoys to Baldwin II, urging him to come to the principality, but Alice decided to resist her father.
However, most Antiochene lords remained hostile to the idea of a female ruler and sent envoys to BaldwinII's successor, Fulk of Anjou, who was Alice's brother-in-law.
Fulk had to travel to Antioch by sea, because Pons did not allow him to march through the County of Tripoli.
Alice wanted to tighten the relationship of the principality and the Byzantine Empire; therefore, she offered Constance's hand to Manuel, a son of the Byzantine Emperor, John II Komnenos.
To prevent the Byzantine marriage, Fulk sent his envoy to France to Raymond of Poitiers to urge him to come to Antioch, which he did, traveling in disguise, because RogerII of Sicily wanted to capture him in southern Italy.
Ralph of Domfront, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, made Alice believe that Raymond came to Antioch to marry her instead of her nine-year-old daughter.
In early 1147 Roger II of Sicily extended an offer to Louis VII of France to transport the French crusaders to the Holy Land during the Second Crusade.
Fearing that Roger only wanted to assert his claim to Antioch, LouisVII and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine (niece of Raymond of Poitiers) declined.
The crusaders tried to convince her husband to launch a campaign against Aleppo, the capital of Nur ad-Din, but LouisVII decided to leave Antioch to Jerusalem, forcing Eleanor to accompany him.
He wanted to persuade Constance to remarry, proposing three candidates (Yves, Count of Soissons, Walter of Saint Omer, and Ralph of Merle), but she declined.
The two ladies tried to persuade Constance to choose among the three candidates, but she returned to Antioch without making a promise to remarry.
According to William of Tyre, Patriarch Aimery convinced Constance to resist, because he wanted to control the government of the principality.
Historian Steven Runciman says that Constance may have refused the candidates proposed by BaldwinIII and ManuelI because she had met Raynald of Châtillon, a knight from France.
After her husband fell into captivity, Constance announced her intention to administer the principality, but most Antiochene noblemen preferred a male ruler.
BaldwinIII of Jerusalem hurried to Antioch and declared Constance's fifteen-year-old son, Bohemond III, the lawful prince, charging Patriarch Aimery with the administration of the principality.
Manuel dispatched his nephew, Alexios Bryennios Komnenos, and John Kamateros to Antioch to begin negotiations about his marriage to Constance's daughter, Maria.
Constance's first husband, Raymond of Poitiers, was the second son of William IX, Duke of Aquitaine and his second wife, Philippa of Toulouse.
Whether the father of Constance's second son, Baldwin, was Raymond of Poitiers or Raynald of Châtillon cannot be determined with certainty.
It forms part of Canterbury's ring road before leaving via Wincheap and Thanington Without, where a sliproad linking to the A2 was completed in 2011, and passing between the North Downs via Chartham, Chilham, Godmersham and Bilting.
The A28 reenters suburbs at Kennington, a suburb of Ashford, but skirts around the town centre on a section of dual carriageway.
Bypassing Great Chart, the road undulates around the Kentish Weald via Bethersden and High Halden, to the market town of Tenterden.
The A28 continues via Rolvenden and Newenden before crossing a narrow bridge over the River Rother and entering East Sussex via Northiam, beyond which the road becomes very winding.
The first stretch of the A33 is a relatively new road, built as the A33 relief road, which starts on the Inner Distribution Road and bypasses most of suburban Reading, servicing the Kennet Island residential development, Madejski Stadium and Green Park Business Park, towards the M4, where it connects at junction 11.
The first stretch of this road follows the route of the old Coley branch railway, including a passage under the railway era bridge carrying Berkeley Avenue.
A two-year redevelopment scheme ran from early 2008 until late 2010, widening the northern section of the dual carriageway and significantly expanding and improving the motorway junction.
The section south of the M4 is dual carriageway up to the county boundary with Hampshire, where it reverts to single carriageway towards Basingstoke.
The road from here to Winchester is a scenic mix of single and dual carriageway, that was progressively improved in the late 1960s.
At Kings Worthy, the road diverts onto part of the original Winchester Bypass, constructed in the late 1930s, up to the A34.
The third section of A33 starts at the Chilworth Roundabout, a junction with the M3 and A27, and runs south into the centre of Southampton and further south to Ocean Village.
It then turns west and into dual carriageway at a roundabout near the Isle of Wight ferry terminal, past the docks and through Town Quay to run along West Quay Road, continuing past Leisure World and Ikea (which is partially responsible for congestion on the road and immediate surroundings due to its popularity, particularly on weekends).
The A33 then bears left slightly to carry on along the Millbrook Road West dual carriageway to meet the M271 and A35 at Redbridge Flyover.
The A33 originally started at a junction with what was the A32 at Riseley Common and was a continuous route to Southampton Between Basingstoke and Southampton, it mostly followed the course of the historic Roman Road between these towns.
While a significant improvement at the time, as other parts of the road were improved around it, it became increasingly ineffective and dangerous.
It runs north from the A35 at Dorchester in Dorset into Somerset through Yeovil and Shepton Mallet before terminating at the Three Lamps junction with the A4 in central Bristol.
The road is entirely single carriageway, except in the Yeovil and Bristol built-up areas, at Ilchester (where it multiplexes with the A303), and north of Dorchester.
These parts of the road can be dangerous, especially where wide vehicles pass on sections where buildings are close to the road.
was soon renumbered A354, presumably to create a link between the major port of Weymouth and the A30 at Salisbury, from where the route would continue to London.
The junction was also a point where traffic would converge or pass through from multiple locations, this was further exacerbated by the A361 Glastonbury junction which backed right onto the first junction.
After a long campaign for the junction to be replaced, a roundabout was constructed in 1999 significantly improving road safety and traffic flow.
In recent years most of the overtaking lanes, provided on steep stretches just south of Bristol, have been blocked out with chevrons.
Slut is generally a term for a woman or girl who is considered to have loose sexual morals or who is sexually promiscuous.
From the late 20th century, there have been attempts to reclaim the word, exemplified by various SlutWalk parades, and some individuals embrace the title as a source of pride.
These definitions identify a slut as a woman of low character—a person who lacks the ability or chooses not to exercise a power of discernment to order her affairs.
The lack of a comparably popular term for men highlights the double standard in societal expectations (gender roles) between males and females, as negative terms for sexually promiscuous males are rare.
Hence, women may find it difficult to hold high positions at their workplace, whereas men may be mocked for choosing to be stay-at-home fathers.
Although a sexually active and professionally successful woman might be seen as a threat, a man without those qualities is often regarded with suspicion and questions about his sexuality.
Unlike women, who are usually policed for being sexually promiscuous, men are often criticized for not being masculine or dominant enough, thus questioning their heterosexuality.
Unlike women, who are expected to be sexually chaste, men are expected to be sexually active, thus having more sexual freedom.
The term has been reappropriated to express the rejection of the concept that government, society, or religion may judge or control one's personal liberties, and the right to control one's own sexuality.
Though people in society are vocally anti-rape, there is an insinuation that certain types of rape are acceptable or that women are voluntarily taking actions that justify sexual advances.
Many slut walks or movements protest against the idea that a woman's appearance, often considered promiscuous, is a justification of sexual assault and rape.
The participants in these walks protest against individuals that excuse rape due to the woman's appearance, including victim blaming and slut shaming; slut walks have now become a worldwide movement.
Model and actress Amber Rose was one of the first people to conduct and take a lead for a SlutWalk for people of color.
This event is a zero tolerance event and we do not condone hateful language, racism, sexism, ableism, fat-shaming, transphobia or any other kind of bigotry.
It is native to eastern Asia, but has been artificially introduced to North America and Europe to control aphids and scale insects.
It is now common, well known, and spreading in those regions, and has also established in Africa and widely across South America.
The pronotum is white with variable black patterning, ranging from a few black spots in an M formation to almost entirely black.
Despite variation, this species does not generally overlap in pronotal or elytral pattern with any other species, except in unmarked orange or red forms.
They always have reddish-brown legs and are obviously brown on the underside of the abdomen, even in the melanic colour forms.
Consequently, it has been introduced into greenhouses, crop fields, and gardens in many countries, including the United States and parts of Europe.
The species is now established in the United States, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Italy, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Israel, Luxembourg, France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Poland, and South Africa.
This species became established in North America as the result of introductions into the United States in an attempt to control the spread of aphids.
In the last three decades, this insect has spread throughout the US and Canada, and has been a prominent factor in controlling aphid populations.
The species repeatedly failed to establish in the wild after successfully controlling aphid populations, but an established population of beetles was observed in the wild near New Orleans, Louisiana, in about 1988.
In the following years, it quickly spread to other states, being occasionally observed in the Midwest within five to seven years and becoming common in the region by about 2000.
The species was also established in the Northwest by 1991, and the Northeast by 1994, aided by additional introductions from the native range, rather than just reaching there from the Southeast.
Reportedly, it has heavily fed on soybean aphids (which recently appeared in the US after coming from China), supposedly saving farmers vast sums of money in 2001.
The European population also originated from eastern North America, but with substantial genetic admixture with individuals of the European biocontrol strain (estimated at about 40%).
This species is widely considered to be one of the world’s most invasive insects, partly due to their tendency to overwinter indoors and the unpleasant odor and stain left by their bodily fluids when frightened or crushed, as well as their tendency to bite humans.
In Europe it is currently increasing to the detriment of indigenous species, its voracious appetite enabling it to outcompete and even consume other ladybirds.
The harlequin ladybird is also highly resistant to diseases that affect other ladybird species, and carries a microsporidian parasite to which it is immune, but that can infect and kill other species.
In addition to its household pest status, the harlequin has been reported to be a minor agricultural pest that is inadvertently harvested with and which contaminates crops of tender fruits and grapes in Iowa, Ohio, New York State, and Ontario.
Because the beetles will use crevices and other cool, dry, confined spaces to overwinter, significant numbers may congregate inside walls if given a large enough opening.
These beetles make some use of pheromones to signal to each other, allowing for the large gatherings often seen in the autumn.
However, many aggregation cues are visual, both at long (picking out light-coloured structures that are distinct from their surroundings) and short (picking out pre-existing aggregations to join) distances, while nonvolatile long-chain hydrocarbons laid down by previous aggregations also play a significant role in site selection.
This beetle has good eyesight; it will return from a location to which it is removed, and is known to give a small bite if provoked.
Occasionally, the beetles will bite humans, presumably in an attempt to acquire salt, although many people feel a pricking sensation as a ladybeetle walks across the skin.
These beetles can be difficult to identify because of their variations in color, spot size, and spot count of the elytra.
This species has more white markings on the pronotum than have most native North American species, though this is not useful if not comparing it to North American species.
Numerous methods of control have been investigated in areas where this beetle has been introduced and causes a threat to native species and biodiversity and to the grape industry.
Methods under development involve the investigation of natural parasites and pathogens, including the use of parasitic sexually transmitted mites and fungal diseases.
Sweeping and vacuuming are considered effective methods for removing them from homes, though this should be done carefully so as not to trigger reflex bleeding.
A trap designed for indoor use was developed which attracts the beetles with a light and seals them in a removable bag, though as the beetles are not strongly attracted to light, this does not work particularly well.
It runs north west from Leeds in Yorkshire via Kirkstall, Horsforth, Yeadon, Guiseley, Ilkley and Skipton, passes west of Settle, then continues through Ingleton and Kirkby Lonsdale before terminating at Kendal in Cumbria.
Sexaholics Anonymous (SA) is one of several twelve-step programs for compulsive sexual behavior based on the original twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
SA takes its place among various twelve-step groups that seek recovery from sexual addiction: Sex Addicts Anonymous, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, Sexual Compulsives Anonymous and Sexual Recovery Anonymous.
Thus, for the married sexaholic, sexual sobriety means having no form of sex with self or with persons other than the spouse.
Sexaholics Anonymous was founded by Roy K (in twelve-step fellowships it is customary to refer to members by their first name and the first initial of their last name, in order to preserve their anonymity).
From the earliest attempts by Roy K to found SA in the 1970s, and throughout the history of SA, some members have sought to change the group’s concept of sexual sobriety.
It was an attempt to endorse as sexually sober, sexual activity by couples, not legally married, whether they be of the same or opposite sex.
The fellowship did not accept this and, as a result, in 1991 some SA members and groups left SA to form Sexual Recovery Anonymous (SRA), citing the SA sobriety definition’s lack of endorsement of same sex relationships and committed relationships.
Murray R, one of the SRA founders had served on the SA General Service Board and had long attempted to change the SA sobriety definition to include committed relationships with either the same or opposite sex.
The point here is this: For SA to validate same-sex sexualizing in SA, even indirectly, would have us endorsing a highly controversial biological theory and political movement against our Tenth Tradition.
If we validate same-sex sexualizing as normative for the sexaholic in recovery, and it turns out not to be normative, SA will have been promoting an untruth and doing a devilish disservice, supporting the problem instead of recovery.
Agitation on the issue continued due to a perception that the ambiguous nature of the survey questions rendered the results meaningless.
Many (probably most) were convinced this vote meant that we are already clear on the meaning of traditional SA sobriety and no further clarification is needed.
In 2000 same-sex attracted SA members expressed their support for the Cleveland Clarification in a letter to SA delegates and trustees signed by 66 members from 7 countries.
Candidates for membership in the SA Board of Trustees, are now required to affirm the SA Sobriety Definition including the Cleveland Clarification.
Topic meetings on same-sex issues are held at SA International Conferences and personal stories of same–sex recovery appear in Essay, the official SA quarterly publication.
SA fully accepts all AA General Conference-approved literature for use in SA meetings, and SA groups frequently read from AA literature in their own meetings.
SA adheres closely to the AA model, applying all of AA's principles to lust and sexual addiction, and whereas other members of other S-groups define sobriety for themselves, SA is closer to AA in proposing an understanding of sobriety which requires abstinence and is common to the group.
A psychologist involved in sexual addiction treatment, Patrick Carnes, encourages self-defined sobriety in his writings, saying that a no-masturbation definition of sobriety is only appropriate for some sex addicts and that bottom lines can in fact be modified over time.
However, the founder Roy K. knew ahead of time that this was a controversial subject and often wrote letters from a contrarian perspective.
He often would leave an SA convention where he was one of the 'keynote speakers' and preach at a church around the corner for those interested in listening to a more evangelical point of view.
The combination of urea and ammonium nitrate has an extremely low critical relative humidity (18% at 30 °C) and can therefore only be used in liquid fertilizers.
The most commonly used grade of these fertilizer solutions is UAN 32.0.0 (32%N) also known as UN32 or UN-32, which consists of 45% ammonium nitrate, 35% urea and only 20% water.
The solutions are quite corrosive towards mild steel (up to 500 milliinches per year on C1010 steel) and are therefore generally equipped with a corrosion inhibitor to protect tanks, pipelines, nozzles, etc.
Moshe Zalman Feiglin (, born 31 July 1962) is an Israeli politician and activist, and the leader of libertarian Zionist party Zehut.
On 8 August 1995, eighty intersections throughout the country were blocked in a massive act of non-violent civil disobedience against the Oslo process.
As a result of his activities, Feiglin was sentenced to six months in prison in 1997 for sedition against the state by Israel's Supreme Court.
In November 1996, Feiglin established the Manhigut Yehudit movement; it joined Likud in 2000, with Feiglin declaring that he would be a candidate for chairmanship of the party as a springboard for premiership of the State of Israel.
In early January 2015, Feiglin announced that he was leaving the Likud and forming his own party, after the Likud primaries the previous month.
He referred to alleged political corruption in the Likud primary and legal maneuvers Benjamin Netanyahu took in the past to move him down the party’s list, accusing the prime minister of trying to assassinate him politically.
His grandfather was the first child born in Metula, and some of his ancestors were among the founders of several settlements, including Mishmar HaYarden, Hadera, and Kinneret.
His family later moved to Rehovot, where he attended the local Tachkemoni school of the Mizrachi movement, and subsequently graduated from Rabbi Haim Drukman's Yeshivat Or Etzion.
It began as a brainchild of Feiglin and a friend of his, Moti Karpel, who established the organization as the continuation of the Zo Artzeinu protest movement.
The main tactical difference between the two in Feiglin's thought is that Zo Artzeinu protested government policy without suggesting an alternative, whereas Manhigut Yehudit seeks to become the government and be the alternative.
He opposes the surrender of what he regards as Jewish land, and has demanded the government take action against the estimated 50,000 illegal Arab structures built throughout the country.
In December 2005, Feiglin ran for Likud chairman and won 12.5% of the votes, coming third out of seven candidates, after Benjamin Netanyahu and Silvan Shalom.
This would have prevented Feiglin, who served a six-month sentence in the mid-1990s for civil disobedience, from running for either an MK or leadership position in the future.
In the 14 August 2007 primaries, Feiglin nearly doubled his previous showing and received 23.4% of the votes to Netanyahu's 72.8%.
Netanyahu, fearing a strong showing by Feiglin, tried to have him ousted from the party prior to the vote, and said he would continue such efforts.
Feiglin ran against Netanyahu again in the 2012 Likud leadership election, held on 31 January 2012, and again received 23% of the vote.
In the Likud primaries held in late 2012 to select candidates for the 2013 elections, Feiglin finished thirteenth, and was elected to the Knesset in the 2013 elections.
He and his Manhigut Yehudit faction suffered a serious setback in the December 2014 Likud primaries, held in the run-up to the 2015 Knesset elections, when he fell to the 36th position on the Likud list, making it unlikely he would be returned to the Knesset.
In January 2015, he announced that he was leaving Likud to form his own party, although he did not do so in time for the elections.
Feiglin has openly stated that, though he is not opposed to peace, peace is not his goal, and would not be on the top of his agenda as Prime Minister.
Rather, Feiglin's focus is on reforming Israel as an essentially Jewish State by acting on several campaigns on the religious, social, legal, and security fronts.
There is no difference in principle between sophisticated biological marking and tattooing an ID number; both turn our identities into the property of a third party.
He has come out against legislation such as the Chametz Law, which forbids selling leavened products on the Passover Holiday, when eating or owning leavened food products is prohibited by Jewish law.
He is also a proponent of the civil marriage initiative in Israel which would allow any Israeli citizen to marry without a religious cleric.
At present, marriage in Israel is impossible outside the confines of a religious system; hence, for tens of thousands of people with problematic religious status, it is impossible ever to get married in the country.
The present system also places the power of divorce in the hand of the Religious courts, who are answerable only to the Supreme Courts.
The civil marriage initiative would make the religious nature of marriage entirely voluntary, effectively separating religion and state in this matter.
Feiglin has advocated removing the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf's control over the entire al-Aqsa complex, and suggested a synagogue should be established on the Temple Mount.
His plan would include annexing all post-1967 land currently in Israel's hands and offering financial incentive for Palestinian families in these areas to emigrate to other countries.
Feiglin pointed to a poll by An-Najah University in Nablus, which showed that one in three Palestinian Arabs would emigrate to other countries even without a financial incentive, as supporting his plan.
Feiglin also proposed that Israel actively encourage Israeli-Arabs to emigrate to the Arab world, and provide assistance to any Arab who chooses to do so.
Point three in the program states that he will enact a new Basic Law which will set forth a detailed proposal for a constitution.
The Law will replace the at-large election of the Knesset with regional representatives, and would also create a lower house to handle municipal issues, in which Israeli Arabs could be represented.
However, the posting had been archived by Israeli scholar Tomer Persico prior to being removed, and Persico wrote a 2012 article analyzing Feiglin's program, referencing the 2003 posting.
On 3 April 2019, Feiglin gave a speech at Maariv Jerusalem Post conference in Tel Aviv, Israel, in which he called to rebuild the Third Temple on Temple Mount immediately.
In addition, if they are citizens, they should not be exempt from paying taxes; they should serve in the IDF, or at least in Sherut Le'umi, the National Service.
We shall offer them human rights without civil rights, so long as they prove their loyalty to their Jewish state host and accept Jewish sovereignty over their land.
In such a situation, they will be given legal-resident status, and they can carry on their private affairs without anyone infringing on their human rights.
Democracy should serve the values of the state, not destroy them... You can’t teach a monkey to speak and you can’t teach an Arab to be democratic.
I was in the army when Meir, Hashem yikom damo [may God avenge his blood], was [most] active, so I didn't get to know him so well.
Several left-wing or Arab commentators have depicted Feiglin as fascist, but for his part, Feiglin rejects this label, claiming that he is fighting fascism himself.
The momentum toward citizenship for all residents of Israel, regardless of their religion, is part of the Zionist ideology based on Western culture.
The ragged, trashy youth body turned into a neat and orderly part of society and Germany received an exemplary regime, a proper justice system and public order.
Feiglin clarified his position to the Maariv newspaper that just because he considers Hitler a military genius, this does not mean he admires him.
In an interview on Israeli television, Feiglin accused Sarid and other left-wing journalists of a smear campaign against him by quoting him out of context.
He explained his point as saying that just because Germany was a democracy, this does not give legitimacy to what Hitler had done.
Feiglin was arrested for organizing mass acts of resistance and blocked highways across Israel during the period in which the Oslo accords were debated and implemented.
He was sentenced to six months in prison in 1997 for sedition, and the sentence was later performed via community service.
This was manifest during a Feiglin rally at Jerusalem's Ramada Hotel that took place before the 2008 Likud primary after Feiglin promised to throw all his votes to them if they showed up.
Former Likud Knesset members Gila Gamliel, David Mena, Daniel Benlulu, and Ayoub Kara attended the event, despite warnings from Netanyahu's advisers not to do so.
Gila Gamliel, who did not vote against the Disengagement from Gaza, eventually took Feiglin's votes and placed 19th, one spot ahead of Feiglin.
Feiglin is a highly vocal supporter of Jonathan Pollard, a former American naval intelligence analyst who formerly served a sentence in the American Federal prison system for spying for Israel.
On Feb. 7, 2013, Feiglin met with an Israeli gay advocacy group in Tel Aviv, and said he was no longer a homophobe.
Although he does not identify with their lifestyle choices, he told them, he supports their rights as individuals and will fight to ensure that those rights are upheld.
When asked by a lesbian supporter if he would support her running in the primaries for the Zehut party, Feiglin was enthusiastically positive about it.
During his 2013 campaign, Feiglin reiterated his view that women's role in Israeli society should be based on Jewish Biblical principles.
These newly introduced concepts are not contrived for the good of those parents raising their children without the support of a spouse (who should be benefiting from aid when needed).
Feiglin has criticized some Christian supporters of Israel, such as Glenn Beck, and challenged the sincerity of Christians who have defended Israel, as well as Israeli Jews who supported Beck.
I have no problem doing business with him, but he has to respect me when he comes here just like I don't try to force my identity on him when I come to him.
In December 2014, a group of academics who are part of the anti-BDS movement and members of The Third Narrative, a Labor Zionist organization, have called on the U.S. and E.U.
Its entire length from Chester to Holyhead is a dual carriageway primary route, with the exception of the Britannia Bridge over the Menai Strait and several short sections where there are gaps in between the two carriageways.
The road improvements have been part funded with European money, under the Trans-European Networks programme, as the route is designated part of Euroroute E22 (Holyhead - Leeds - Amsterdam - Hamburg - Malmö - Riga - Moscow - Perm - Ekaterinburg - Ishim).
The A55 crosses the River Dee and the border into Wales, passing close to Broughton, Flintshire, and passing north of Buckley, Penyffordd and Northop.
In the eastbound direction another short three-lane section allows vehicles to join the A494 or exit onto the A55 to Chester.
Traffic taking the A55 into England must negotiate a tight 270 degree speed-limited single lane curve to climb up and over the A55/A494 at Ewloe loops.
Plans to upgrade the A494 between this junction at Ewloe and Queensferry were rejected by the Welsh Government on 26 March 2008 due to their scale.
From Ewloe, the road is relatively flat until after Northop when it climbs up onto the flanks of Halkyn Mountain range, passing to the southwest of Holywell with major climbs between Northop and Halkyn (Junctions 33 and 32b) and Halkyn and Holywell Summit (Junctions 32 and 31).
The steep descent towards St Asaph is down the new Rhuallt Hill (Junctions 29 to 28), which also provides the first views of the mountains of Snowdonia in the far distance.
The road bypasses St Asaph to the north, and runs past Bodelwyddan and Abergele to reach the North Wales coast at Pensarn (Junction 23A).
Two sections between (Junction 23) Llanddulas to (Junction 17) Conwy are signed as a 70 mph (110 km/h) speed limit because they are actually special roads.
Legally it means these two stretches of the A55 are neither part of the national UK motorway network or trunk roads.
As such, the national speed limit does not apply so 70 mph (110 km/h) signs (the maximum speed permitted on UK roads) are used instead.
Part of it was built on a narrow swathe of land through the town that was once the North Wales coast railway; had to be rebuilt and the track bed realigned to complete the underpass.
The crossing of the estuary of the River Conwy is by means of an immersed tube tunnel, the first of its kind constructed in the United Kingdom.
This ruled out another bridge by the castle on aesthetic grounds, since it would have damaged the view of the world heritage site Conwy Castle, and the two bridges by Robert Stephenson and Thomas Telford.
An inland alternative with heavy grades which would have passed over Bwlch y Ddeufaen pass at , following the old Roman road, was also worked up but rejected for cost and utility reasons.
The tunnel was constructed by a Costain/Tarmac Construction joint venture, as pre-formed concrete sections, and then floated into position over a pre-prepared trench in the bed of the estuary.
The 3 million tonnes of silt and mud extracted to create the trench in which the tunnel sections sat, were vacuumed to one side of the construction site, as to let them drift down river would have harmed the large mussel fishing beds downstream.
The silt was deposited upstream of the bridge at Conwy which created a large new area of low-lying land which was subsequently given to the RSPB for a wildlife preserve.
Because of the valuable fishery in the river and also because of the history of heavy metal mining in the catchment of the river, extensive ecological assessments were made both prior to the construction of the tunnel and subsequently.
After five years of construction, the tunnel was opened in October 1991 by Queen Elizabeth II, the tunnel initially had an advisory speed limit, but this was dropped in 2007 as accidents were rare in the tunnels.
Leaving Conwy in a westerly direction, the construction of this section has involved major civil engineering works because it crosses two major headlands: Penmaenbach Point and Penmaenan Point.
This new route, carrying traffic in both directions, relieved the original coach road built by Telford in the early 19th century.
Originally at the western end (Llanfairfechan) of the modern Pen-y-Clip tunnel, access was only allowed in an easterly direction because travelling the other way would mean heading the wrong way up the eastbound carriageway.
However, in 2011 a purpose-built bridge - over the westbound carriageway - was constructed to allow unrestricted access to cyclists and walkers.
Both new routes were subject to an advisory 50 mph speed limit until these were lifted in 2007 as there had been few accidents.
For instance the eastbound carriageway at Penmaenbach is subject to a 30 mph (50 km/h) speed limit due to sharp curves and double white lines nominally preclude lane changing.
Plans to rectify the awkward alignment by building another tunnel parallel to the current westbound tunnel (as originally intended when the westbound tunnel was proposed) have been discussed for several years.
The work in late-2007 at Penmaenbach eastbound has seen the erection of gantries to close lanes when bidirectional working is in place.
Some traffic leaves for major holiday destinations such as Caernarfon or the Llŷn Peninsula, though much continues on to the port of Holyhead.
As such part of the route is not classed as clearway and has two at grade junctions (roundabouts), Penmaenmawr (Junction 16) and Llanfairfechan (Junction 15).
The Bangor bypass, in which the road previously terminated and became the A5 regains high standards and is such through the Anglesey section, bar the Britannia Bridge, which is a single carriageway deck above the North Wales Coast railway over the Menai Strait.
In 2007 the Welsh Assembly Government undertook a consultation to determine which of four options would be preferred for a second crossing.
This 20 mile (32 km) section from the end of the Llanfairpwll bypass to Holyhead Harbour was constructed as Private Finance Initiative scheme where the builders, a Carillion / John Laing joint venture, earn a shadow toll based on usage and lane availability.
The approach to Holyhead required major work with a new section over the sea paralleling the Stanley Embankment that carries the original A5 and the North Wales Coast railway.
Work started in early 2017 on the upgrading of the 1960s built substandard section of dual carriageway west of Abergwyngregyn from Tai'r Meibion towards Tan-y-lon, which is relatively narrow and prone to flooding.
This includes mention of improvements to the A55 including the grade separation of the two roundabouts at Penmaenmawr and Llanfairfechan planned to be completed by 2021.
In November 2012, the Welsh Government published two more detailed studies looking at options to improve transport in the North East Wales and the A55 / A494 areas.
The A55 partly follows the alignment of the Roman road from Chester (Deva) to Caernarfon (Segontium), particularly from Junction 31 to 30 and Junction 13 to 12.
Between Chester and Holywell the alignment of this road is uncertain and between St. Asaph and Abergwyngregyn, the Roman road followed an inland route, via Canovium Roman Fort at Caerhun, avoiding the difficulties of the crossing of the Conwy estuary and the cliffs at Penmaenbach and Pen-y-Clip.
There are three large service areas on the A55, along with numerous other petrol stations at the side of the road.
Rotational spectroscopy is concerned with the measurement of the energies of transitions between quantized rotational states of molecules in the gas phase.
The rotational spectra of non-polar molecules cannot be observed by those methods, but can be observed and measured by Raman spectroscopy.
For rotational spectroscopy, molecules are classified according to symmetry into spherical top, linear and symmetric top; analytical expressions can be derived for the rotational energy terms of these molecules.
Analytical expressions can be derived for the fourth category, asymmetric top, for rotational levels up to J=3, but higher energy levels need to be determined using numerical methods.
The rotational energies are derived theoretically by considering the molecules to be rigid rotors and then applying extra terms to account for centrifugal distortion, fine structure, hyperfine structure and Coriolis coupling.
Fitting the spectra to the theoretical expressions gives numerical values of the angular moments of inertia from which very precise values of molecular bond lengths and angles can be derived in favorable cases.
It can be used to establish barriers to internal rotation such as that associated with the rotation of the group relative to the group in chlorotoluene ().
Much of current understanding of the nature of weak molecular interactions such as van der Waals, hydrogen and halogen bonds has been established through rotational spectroscopy.
In connection with radio astronomy, the technique has a key role in exploration of the chemical composition of the interstellar medium.
Current projects in astrochemistry involve both laboratory microwave spectroscopy and observations made using modern radiotelescopes such as the Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA).
A molecule in the gas phase is free to rotate relative to a set of mutually orthogonal axes of fixed orientation in space, centered on the center of mass of the molecule.
Rotation about each unique axis is associated with a set of quantized energy levels dependent on the moment of inertia about that axis and a quantum number.
Thus, for linear molecules the energy levels are described by a single moment of inertia and a single quantum number, formula_1, which defines the magnitude of the rotational angular momentum.
For nonlinear molecules which are symmetric rotors (or symmetric tops - see next section), there are two moments of inertia and the energy also depends on a second rotational quantum number, formula_2, which defines the vector component of rotational angular momentum along the principal symmetry axis.
Analysis of spectroscopic data with the expressions detailed below results in quantitative determination of the value(s) of the moment(s) of inertia.
For a linear molecule, analysis of the rotational spectrum provides values for the rotational constant and the moment of inertia of the molecule, and, knowing the atomic masses, can be used to determine the bond length directly.
For linear molecules with more than two atoms it is necessary to measure the spectra of two or more isotopologues, such as OCS and OCS.
This is because there is zero-point energy in the vibrational ground state, to which the rotational states refer, whereas the equilibrium bond length is at the minimum in the potential energy curve.
where v is a vibrational quantum number and α is a vibration-rotation interaction constant which can be calculated if the B values for two different vibrational states can be found.
For other molecules, if the spectra can be resolved and individual transitions assigned both bond lengths and bond angles can be deduced.
When this is not possible, as with most asymmetric tops, all that can be done is to fit the spectra to three moments of inertia calculated from an assumed molecular structure.
In quantum mechanics the free rotation of a molecule is quantized, so that the rotational energy and the angular momentum can take only certain fixed values, which are related simply to the moment of inertia, formula_4, of the molecule.
The general convention, used in this article, is to define the axes such that formula_8, with axis formula_9 corresponding to the smallest moment of inertia.
The particular pattern of energy levels (and, hence, of transitions in the rotational spectrum) for a molecule is determined by its symmetry.
A convenient way to look at the molecules is to divide them into four different classes, based on the symmetry of their structure.
A consequence of this rule is that no microwave spectrum can be observed for centrosymmetric linear molecules such as (dinitrogen) or HCCH (ethyne), which are non-polar.
Tetrahedral molecules such as (methane), which have both a zero dipole moment and isotropic polarizability, would not have a pure rotation spectrum but for the effect of centrifugal distortion; when the molecule rotates about a 3-fold symmetry axis a small dipole moment is created, allowing a weak rotation spectrum to be observed by microwave spectroscopy.
Since these transitions are due to absorption (or emission) of a single photon with a spin of one, conservation of angular momentum implies that the molecular angular momentum can change by at most one unit.
The general selection rule for such a transition to be allowed is that the molecular polarizability must be anisotropic, which means that it is not the same in all directions.
For all other molecules both Stokes and anti-Stokes lines can be observed and they have similar intensities due to the fact that many rotational states are thermally populated.
The value ΔJ = 0 does not correspond to a molecular transition but rather to Rayleigh scattering in which the incident photon merely changes direction.
With infrared spectra in the wavenumber scale (formula_18), the unit is usually the inverse centimeter, written as cm, which is literally the number of waves in one centimeter, or the reciprocal of the wavelength in centimeters (formula_19).
The population of vibrationally excited states follows a Boltzmann distribution, so low-frequency vibrational states are appreciably populated even at room temperatures.
However, as long as the vibrational quantum number does not change (i.e., the molecule is in only one state of vibration), the effect of vibration on rotation is not important, because the time for vibration is much shorter than the time required for rotation.
Historically, the theory of rotational energy levels was developed to account for observations of vibration-rotation spectra of gases in infrared spectroscopy, which was used before microwave spectroscopy had become practical.
To a first approximation, the rotation and vibration can be treated as separable, so the energy of rotation is added to the energy of vibration.
where formula_26 and formula_27 are rotational constants for the upper and lower vibrational state respectively, while formula_28 and formula_29 are the rotational quantum numbers of the upper and lower levels.
In reality, this expression has to be modified for the effects of anharmonicity of the vibrations, for centrifugal distortion and for Coriolis coupling.
Rotational constants obtained from infrared measurements are in good accord with those obtained by microwave spectroscopy, while the latter usually offers greater precision.
A pure rotational spectrum cannot be observed by absorption or emission spectroscopy because there is no permanent dipole moment whose rotation can be accelerated by the electric field of an incident photon.
For example, the molecule methane is a spherical top but the asymmetric C-H stretching band shows rotational fine structure in the infrared spectrum, illustrated in rovibrational coupling.
A linear molecule lies on a single axis and each atom moves on the surface of a sphere around the centre of mass.
The two degrees of rotational freedom correspond to the spherical coordinates θ and φ which describe the direction of the molecular axis, and the quantum state is determined by two quantum numbers J and M. J defines the magnitude of the rotational angular momentum, and M its component about an axis fixed in space, such as an external electric or magnetic field.
As a result, the moment of inertia of the molecule increases, thus decreasing the value of formula_34, when it is calculated using the expression for the rigid rotor.
In consequence, the spacing between lines is not constant, as in the rigid rotor approximation, but decreases with increasing rotational quantum number.
If anharmonicity is to be taken into account, terms in higher powers of J should be added to the expressions for the energy levels and line positions.
The electric dipole moment of the dioxygen molecule, is zero, but the molecule is paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons so that there are magnetic-dipole allowed transitions which can be observed by microwave spectroscopy.
The unit electron spin has three spatial orientations with respect to the given molecular rotational angular momentum vector, K, so that each rotational level is split into three states, J = K + 1, K, and K - 1, each J state of this so-called p-type triplet arising from a different orientation of the spin with respect to the rotational motion of the molecule.
The energy difference between successive J terms in any of these triplets is about 2 cm (60 GHz), with the single exception of J = 1←0 difference which is about 4 cm.
Selection rules for magnetic dipole transitions allow transitions between successive members of the triplet (ΔJ = ±1) so that for each value of the rotational angular momentum quantum number K there are two allowed transitions.
Since there are three independent moments of inertia, there are two other independent quantum numbers to consider, but the term values for an asymmetric rotor cannot be derived in closed form.
For this reason far infrared spectrometers have to be freed of atmospheric water vapour either by purging with a dry gas or by evacuation.
The extent of splitting depends on the square of the electric field strength and the square of the dipole moment of the molecule.
A similar removal of degeneracy will occur when a paramagnetic molecule is placed in a magnetic field, an instance of the Zeeman effect.
This means that rotational transitions of molecules with no permanent dipole moment, which cannot be observed in absorption or emission, can be observed, by scattering, in Raman spectroscopy.
The great majority of contemporary spectrometers use a mixture of commercially available and bespoke components which users integrate according to their particular needs.
Although rotational transitions can be found across a very broad region of the electromagnetic spectrum, fundamental physical constraints exist on the operational bandwidth of instrument components.
The instruments and operating principals described below are generally appropriate to microwave spectroscopy experiments conducted at frequencies between 6 and 24 GHz.
A microwave spectrometer can be most simply constructed using a source of microwave radiation, an absorption cell into which sample gas can be introduced and a detector such as a superheterodyne receiver.
An important variation of the technique in which an alternating current is applied across electrodes within the absorption cell results in a modulation of the frequencies of rotational transitions.
Subsequent experiments exploited powerful sources of microwaves such as the klystron, many of which were developed for radar during the Second World War.
Commercial versions of microwave absorption spectrometer were developed by Hewlett Packard in the 1970s and were once widely used for fundamental research.
Following pioneering work by Dicke and co-workers in the 1950s, the first FTMW spectrometer was constructed by Ekkers and Flygare in 1975.
This technique allows a sample to be probed only milliseconds after it undergoes rapid cooling to only a few kelvins in the throat of an expanding gas jet.
This was a revolutionary development because (i) cooling molecules to low temperatures concentrates the available population in the lowest rotational energy levels.
Coupled with benefits conferred by the use of a Fabry-Perot cavity, this brought a great enhancement in the sensitivity and resolution of spectrometers along with a reduction in the complexity of observed spectra; (ii) it became possible to isolate and study molecules that are very weakly bound because there is insufficient energy available for them to undergo fragmentation or chemical reaction at such low temperatures.
While the Fabry-Perot cavity of a Balle-Flygare FTMW spectrometer can typically be tuned into resonance at any frequency between 6 and 18 GHz, the bandwidth of individual measurements is restricted to about 1 MHz.
The result is an instrument that allows the study of weakly bound molecules but which is able to exploit a measurement bandwidth (12 GHz) that is greatly enhanced compared with the Balle-Flygare FTMW spectrometer.
Modified versions of the original CP-FTMW spectrometer have been constructed by a number of groups in the United States, Canada and Europe.
The instrument offers a broadband capability that is highly complementary to the high sensitivity and resolution offered by the Balle-Flygare design.
It runs east from a junction with the A53 at Newcastle-under-Lyme near Stoke-on-Trent via Ashbourne, Derby, Stapleford, Nottingham, West Bridgford, Bingham, Grantham, Boston and Skegness to the east Lincolnshire coast at Mablethorpe.
The mainly dual-carriageway stretch between The Pentagon Island in Derby and the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham was named Brian Clough Way in 2005 to honour the late Derby County and Nottingham Forest football manager Brian Clough.
Historically the A52 used to start at Nantwich in Cheshire, but was renumbered to become the A500, the A531, and the B5500—the A500 sections later becoming unclassified.
It passes the leisure centre on the right, then veers right at a junction with the B5045 (which continues on the main road), where it enters the City of Stoke-on-Trent.
It passes through Ash Bank and Staffordshire, then meets the A520 (for Leek) at crossroads, then overlaps the A522 (for Cheadle).
It passes through the villages of Kingsley and then Froghall where it crosses over the Churnet Valley Railway and Cauldon Canal, before meeting the A521 and B5053 (for Ipstones).
From here to the dual-carriageway is a popular pub crawl, with many student residences close by for the University of Derby, such as St Christopher's Court.
It passes a large Costco, and the next junction is a GSJ for the Wyvern Retail Park, and passes a KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut and Sainsbury's.
The £250,000 Borrowash Bypass opened in 1957, although the bridge at Ockbrook opened in 1969, from a roundabout with the A6005 to Hopwell Firs.
The £2 million (£ as of ),Sandiacre Stapleford Bypass opened in December 1964, being built two years before junction 25 of the M1 had been opened although all the bridges and roundabout were part of the bypass.
It crosses the Nottingham section of the Midland Main Line, and the River Erewash and Erewash Canal, entering Nottinghamshire and the borough of Broxtowe.
The A52 then passes through Bramcote at the roundabout with the A6007 next to Bramcote leisure centre and becomes a three-lane dual carriageway, however the left lane is a bus lane.
It crosses the Beeston Canal and Nottingham - Derby/Loughborough railway line and follows the Clifton Boulevard around the south of Nottingham.
One of the bridges over the Trent at Clifton Bridge includes a section of the former B680 (which followed the route into Nottingham now used by the A453).
The bridge was widened, with the west bridge, to dual-carriageway as the A614 as part of a £3.2 million section, opening in 1972.
It enters the borough of Rushcliffe where it crosses the former Great Central Main Line and meets the A60 (for Ruddington and the Nottingham South Premier Inn), then the A606 at busy roundabouts.
This section from the A606 roundabout, near the Wheatcroft Garden Centre, to the Dunkirk junction (current A6005, then the A453) - the Nottingham Ring Road - was opened in 1963 as mostly single carriageway.
From the A46, the road heads east past Bingham on the £2.6 million (£ as of ), Bingham bypass opened in December 1986.
There is a left turn for Scarrington, then it passes a HM Prison Whatton at Whatton-in-the Vale, near to where it crosses the River Smite.
The section of road from Radcliffe on Trent to Grantham was planned to become a dual-carriageway in the 1990s, but there are no plans at present.
Traffic for Skegness may want to take the A153 instead (via the Sleaford bypass), as from Boston - Wainfleet, the traffic slows down.
From here to the South-Forty Foot Drain (about ), the road lies on the border of the districts of North Kesteven and South Kesteven.
It passes over the Sleaford-Spalding railway and at Donington there is a roundabout with the A152 (the former name of the A52 east of Grantham).
The Hammer & Pincers pub is on the left just before a roundabout, where the main route follows to the left, and the straight-on direction is for Wyberton.
The Alban Retail Park is on the right before it crosses the South Forty-Foot Drain and railway at a level crossing, then meets the A1121 from the left at a mini-roundabout close to a Peugeot, Citroën and BMW garage.
It passes near to Wainfleet St Mary (near the home of Batemans Brewery) which is now bypassed, and meets the B1195, then crosses the Steeping River and over a level crossing.
According to the AA, Newcastle-under-Lyme to Derby takes 56 minutes, Derby to Boston takes 100 minutes, and Boston to Mablethorpe takes 62 minutes, taking three hours and thirty eight minutes to travel the whole distance.
Bohemond III of Antioch, also known as Bohemond the Child or the Stammerer (; 1148–1201), was Prince of Antioch from 1163 to 1201.
Bohemond ascended to the throne after the Antiochene noblemen dethroned his mother with the assistance of Thoros II, Lord of Armenian Cilicia.
He fell into captivity in the Battle of Artah in 1164, but the victorious Nur ad-Din, atabeg of Aleppo released him to avoid coming into conflict with the Byzantine Empire.
Bohemond went to Constantinople to pay homage to Manuel I Komnenos, who persuaded him to install a Greek Orthodox Patriarch in Antioch.
He also made alliances with the Muslim rulers of Aleppo and Damascus against Saladin, who had begun to unite the Muslim countries along the borders of the crusader states.
Bohemond was captured in 1194 by Leo, who tried to seize Antioch, but the burghers formed a commune and expelled the Armenian soldiers from the town.
Raymond's widow, who was Leo's niece, gave birth to a posthumous son, Raymond-Roupen, but Bohemond's younger son, Bohemond of Tripoli, wanted to secure his succession in Antioch with the assistance of the commune.
Neither Baldwin III of Jerusalem nor the Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos could persuade the widowed Constance to take a new husband.
Raynald ruled the principality as Constance's husband from 1153 until he was captured by Majd al-Din, governor of Aleppo, in late November 1160 or 1161.
Urged by the Antiochene noblemen, Baldwin III proclaimed Bohemond the rightful ruler, charging Aimery of Limoges, Latin Patriarch of Antioch, with the administration of the principality during Bohemond's minority.
However, the Antiochene noblemen rebelled against her with the assistance of Thoros II, Lord of Armenian Cilicia, forcing her to leave Antioch in February 1163.
Amalric of Jerusalem entrusted the government of the Kingdom of Jerusalem to Bohemond before departing for his campaign against Egypt in July 1164.
Bohemond, RaymondIII of Tripoli, ThorosII of Armenian Cilicia, and Constantine Kalamanos joined their forces and marched to Harenc, compelling Nur ad-Din to retreat.
Reynald of Saint-Valery, Lord of Harenc, tried to convince Bohemond not to pursue the enemy, but Bohemond did not follow his advice.
His advisors urged Nur ad-Din to proceed to Antioch, but he declined, fearing that an attack on Antioch could provoke Emperor Manuel into annexing the principality.
Before long, Nur ad-Din released Bohemond, along with Thoros of Cilicia, for a ransom because he regarded them as vassals of the Byzantine emperor.
In return for monetary aid, Bohemond agreed to allow Athanasius, the Eastern Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch, to accompany him back to Antioch.
Manuel's cousin, Andronicus Komnenus, who was made Byzantine governor of Cilicia in 1166, often visited Antioch to meet Bohemond's beautiful young sister, Philippa.
Mleh, who had seized Cilicia with Nur ad-Din's help, besieged Bagras, the fortress of the Knights Templars near Antioch, in early 1170.
Bohemond sought assistance from Amalric of Jerusalem, and their united army defeated Mleh, also forcing him to restore the towns of the Cilician plains to the Byzantine Empire.
Bohemond's relationship with Armenian Cilicia remained tense, which prevented him from pursuing an active foreign policy until Mleh was dethroned in 1175.
Bohemond concluded an alliance with Gumushtekin, atabeg of Aleppo, against Saladin, the Ayyubid ruler of Egypt and Syria, in May 1176.
According to the contemporaneous William of Tyre, many crusaders blamed Bohemond and RaymondIII of Tripoli for dissuading Philip from participating in a military campaign against Egypt, preferring instead to take advantage of Philip's presence in their own realms.
Indeed, in December Philip and Bohemond jointly laid siege to Harenc, a fortress of As-Salih Ismail al-Malik, Emir of Damascus, seizing the opportunity following a mutiny of the garrison.
They lifted the siege soon after As-Salih informed them that Saladin (the common enemy of both As-Salih and Bohemond) had left Egypt for Syria.
Historian Bernard Hamilton, who accepts William of Tyre's narration, says that Bohemond and Raymond came to Jerusalem to choose a husband for Baldwin's sister and heir, Sibylla, wishing to decrease the influence of the king's maternal relatives.
Bohemond besieged the fortress, but Reynald Masoir, Lord of Margat, and other noblemen who supported the patriarch rose up against him.
Bohemond agreed to restore confiscated church property and Aimery lifted the interdict, but Bohemond's excommunication remained in force because he refused to return to Theodora.
A charter shows that Bohemond was in Acre in April 1185, suggesting that he was present when the leper BaldwinIV died around that time.
After the ransom was paid in 1186, Bohemond released Roupen, who soon reconquered the fortresses and towns that he had ceded to Antioch.
Raymond of Tripoli and his supporters could not prevent BaldwinV's mother, Sibylla, and her husband, Guy of Lusignan, from seizing the throne.
Baldwin of Ibelin, who was the only Jerusalemite baron to refuse to pay homage to Sibylla and Guy after their coronation, moved to Antioch.
Nomad Turkmen bands invaded Cilicia, forcing the new ruler, Leo, to swear fealty to Bohemond shortly after his ascension in 1186 or 1187.
The Turkmens also broke into the Principality of Antioch, pillaging the lowlands around Latakia and the monasteries in the nearby mountains.
Bohemond was forced to make a truce with Al-Muzaffar Umar, Saladin's governor in Syria, who joined Saladin's invasion of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in May.
Even so, Bohemond sent 50 knights under the command of his elder son, Raymond, to Jerusalem after a Christian army was almost annihilated in the Battle of Cresson.
RaymondIII of Tripoli, who died before the end of the year, willed the County of Tripoli to Bohemond's elder son and heir, Raymond.
Bohemond sent his younger son and namesake to take control of Tripoli, convinced that one ruler could not defend both Antioch and Tripoli.
His troops captured Latakia on 22 or 23July, Sahyun six days later, and the fortresses along the Orontes River in August.
After the Knights Templar surrendered their fortress at Bagras to Saladin on 26September, Bohemond pleaded for a truce, offering the release of his Muslim prisoners.
The defence of Antioch was a principal aim of his crusade, but he died unexpectedly near Seleucia in Asia Minor (present-day Silifke in Turkey) on 10June 1190.
His son, Frederick VI, Duke of Swabia, took over the command of the army, but most crusaders decided to return to Europe.
Barbarossa's body, which had been carried to Antioch, was buried in the cathedral before the duke continued his crusade toward the Holy Land.
In May 1191 Bohemond sailed to Limassol along with Guy of Lusignan and Leo of Cilicia to meet Richard I of England, who had arrived to reconquer the Holy Land from Saladin.
He once again met Richard during the siege of Acre in summer 1191, but he did not provide military support to the crusaders.
Bohemond's relationship with Leo of Cilicia became tense when Leo captured Bagras and refused to cede it to the Knights Templar.
They signed a ten-year truce that included both Antioch and Tripoli but did not cover Armenian Cilicia even though Leo of Cilicia was Bohemond's vassal.
Bohemond's wife, Sibylla, wanted to secure Antioch for her son, William, with the assistance of Leo of Cilicia (whose wife, Isabel, was her niece).
Leo invited Bohemond and his family to Bagras, saying that he wanted to start negotiations regarding the surrender of the fortress either to Antioch or to the Templars in early 1194.
He appointed his marshal, Bartholomew Tirel, to accompany the Armenian troops, which were under the command of Hethoum of Sason, to Antioch.
An Armenian soldier's rude remark about Saint Hilary, to whom the royal chapel was dedicated, provoked a riot, forcing the Armenians to withdraw from the town.
After Bohemond renounced his claim to suzerainty over Cilicia and acknowledged Leo's possession of Bagras, Leo released him and his retainers.
The elderly Bohemond sent her and her infant son to Cilicia wanting either to secure Antioch for his son by Sibylla, or to guarantee their security.
Before long, he decided to besiege Jabala and Latakia, but he had to return to Antioch to meet the papal legate, Conrad of Wittelsbach, Archbishop of Mainz.
Before long, the younger Bohemond returned to Tripoli, enabling his father to re-take control of state affairs, suggesting that the elder Bohemond had tacitly supported his son's coup.
LeoI of Cilicia appealed to the Holy See to protect Raymond-Roupen's interest, but the Knights Templar submitted a complaint against him for refusing to restore Bagras to them.
Bohemond's first wife, Orgueilleuse of Harenc, was first mentioned in charters issued in 1170, suggesting that Bohemond married her in or before that year.
These divergences have made it impossible to conclude a Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism that incorporates a single, all-encompassing, legally binding, criminal-law definition of terrorism.
In the meantime, the international community adopted a series of sectoral conventions that define and criminalize various types of terrorist activities.
A 2003 study by Jeffrey Record for the United States Army quoted a source (Schmid and Jongman 1988) that counted 109 definitions of terrorism that covered a total of 22 different definitional elements.
The was a panic and state of emergency in Rome in response to the approach of warriors of the Cimbri tribe in 105 BCE.
During the reign of terror a regime or system of terrorism was used as an instrument of governance, wielded by a recently established revolutionary state against the enemies of the people.
The criminalization of terrorist acts expresses society's repugnance at them, invokes social censure and shame, and stigmatizes those who commit them.
The Martens Clause was introduced as a compromise wording for the dispute between the Great Powers who considered francs-tireurs to be unlawful combatants subject to execution on capture, and smaller states who maintained that they should be considered lawful combatants.
More recently the 1977 Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts, which applies in situations Article 1.
Although political denunciation of terrorism in all its forms had continued apace, there had been no successful attempt to define 'terrorism' as such in a broad sense that was satisfactory for legal purposes.
The international community has worked on two comprehensive counter-terrorism treaties, the League of Nations' 1937 Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of Terrorism, which never entered into force, and the United Nations' proposed Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism, which hasn't been finalized yet.
Among the negotiators, that definition is not controversial in itself; the deadlock in the negotiations arises instead from the opposing views on whether such a definition would be applicable to the armed forces of a state and to self-determination movements.
In parallel with the criminal law codification efforts, some United Nations organs have put forward some broad political definitions of terrorism.
The following year, Secretary-General of the United Nations Kofi Annan endorsed the High Level Panel's definition of terrorism and asked states to set aside their differences and to adopt that definition within the proposed comprehensive terrorism convention before the end of that year.
Some United Nations' member states contended that a definition such as the one proposed by the High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change, and endorsed by the Secretary General, lacked the necessary requirements to be incorporated in a criminal law instrument.
In 2016, Brazil passed a law that defines acts of terrorism and establishes punishment for committing, planning, enabling, sponsoring, inciting and participating in terrorist acts.
The bill lists a series of acts that provoke social and general terror or endager people, property, infrastructure, or public peace, for reasons of xenophobia, discrimination or prejudice of race, color, ethnics and religion.
Shortly after the creation of the law, Federal Police's Operation Hashtag arrested eleven suspects of planning a terrorist attack in the run-up to the Rio 2016 Olympics.
Successive Independent Reviewers of Terrorism Legislation (most recently in a report of July 2014) have commented on the UK's definition of terrorism.
Title 22, Chapter 38 of the United States Code (regarding the Department of State) contains a definition of terrorism in its requirement that annual country reports on terrorism be submitted by the Secretary of State to Congress every year.
Section 102(1)(a) of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act contains a definition of terrorism in order for insurance companies to provide coverage to all prospective policy holders at time of purchase and to all current policyholders at renewal and requires that the federal government pay 90 percent of covered terrorism losses exceeding the statutorily established deductible paid by the insurance company providing the coverage.
An insurance company may include a specific definition of terrorism as part of its policy, for the purpose of excluding at least some loss or damage caused by terrorism.
It is a word with intrinsically negative connotations that is generally applied to one's enemies and opponents, or to those with whom one disagrees and would otherwise prefer to ignore.
(...) Hence the decision to call someone or label some organization 'terrorist' becomes almost unavoidably subjective, depending largely on whether one sympathizes with or opposes the person/group/cause concerned.
The term has been depicted as carrying racist, xenophobic and ethnocentric connotations when used as an ethnic slur aimed at Arabs or Middle Easterners, or at someone of Arab or Greater Middle Eastern descent or when used by white supremacists.
Terrorism is an anxiety-inspiring method of repeated violent action, employed by (semi-) clandestine individual, group or state actors, for idiosyncratic, criminal or political reasons, whereby - in contrast to assassination - the direct targets of violence are not the main targets.
The immediate human victims of violence are generally chosen randomly (targets of opportunity) or selectively (representative or symbolic targets) from a target population, and serve as message generators.
given their nature or context, [acts which] may seriously damage a country or an international organisation where committed with the aim of seriously intimidating a population.
Criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes are in any circumstance unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or any other nature that may be invoked to justify them.
In 1920, Corbusier started to develop the type apartment which became very influential in 20th century modernism and contemporary residential design in Europe.
The first full-scale models were built in Paris and Marseille during the planning of the first high rise concrete structure in the 1940s.
In the 1980s a team from ETH Zurich surveyed several apartments in Marseille and a several full-scale models were constructed for exhibitions in Paris, Karlsruhe, Tokyo and New York.
In 1986 a full-scale model was constructed at the Badischer Kunstverein by Gernot Bayne based on the survey of Ruggero Tropeano.
A full scale original Kitchen, stairs and other parts of the apartments are stored and displayed several museum collections around the world.
One of Le Corbusier's most famous works, it proved enormously influential and is often cited as the initial inspiration of the Brutalist architectural style and philosophy.
The building is constructed in béton brut (rough-cast concrete), as the hoped-for steel frame proved too expensive in light of post-War shortages.
In July 2016, the Unité in Marseille and several other works by Le Corbusier were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Inside, corridors run through the centre of the long axis of every third floor of the building, with each apartment lying on two levels, and stretching from one side of the building to the other, with a balcony.
Corbusier's design was criticised by US architect Peter Blake for having small children's rooms and some of those rooms lacked windows.
Unlike many of the inferior system-built blocks it inspired, which lack the original's generous proportions, communal facilities and parkland setting, the Unité is popular with its residents and is now mainly occupied by upper middle-class professionals.
The flat roof is designed as a communal terrace with sculptural ventilation stacks, a running track, and a shallow paddling pool for children.
The roof, where a number of theatrical performances have taken place, underwent renovation in 2010 and since 2013 it hosts an exhibition center called the MaMo.
In the block's planning, the architect drew on his study of the Soviet communal housing project, the Narkomfin Building in Moscow, which had been designed by the architect Moisei Ginzburg and completed in 1932.
The replacement material (béton brut) influenced the Brutalist movement, and the building inspired several housing complexes including the Alton West estate in Roehampton, London, and Park Hill in Sheffield.
Other, more successful, manifestations of the Unité include Chamberlin, Powell and Bon's Barbican Estate (completed 1982), Gordon Tait's Samuda Estate, Isle of Dogs (1965), Ernő Goldfinger's Balfron Tower (1967), and Trellick Tower (1972), all in London.
The Riverside Plaza in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which opened in 1973, also used multi-colored panels and brutalist design, as influenced by the project.
The apartments were equipped with built-in furniture, and specially designed storage walls with various cupboards with sliding doors, which were designed by Charlotte Perriand in collaboration with Atelier Le Corbusier.
Additionally Perriand collaborated on the design of the apartment kitchens, 321 of the 337 units were equipped with the Cuisine Atelier Le Corbusier, type 1 kitchens, many of which are still in place due to their efficient use of space.
Unité d'habitation model apartments have been renovated in the individual historic Unité buildings as well as rebuilt in exhibitions around the world.
Vesna Vulović ( ; 3 January 1950 23 December 2016) was a Serbian flight attendant who holds the Guinness world record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: .
She was the sole survivor after a briefcase bomb tore through the baggage compartment of JAT Flight 367 on 26 January 1972, causing it to crash near Srbská Kamenice, Czechoslovakia.
Despite her willingness to resume work as a flight attendant, Jat Airways (JAT) gave her a desk job negotiating freight contracts, feeling her presence on flights would attract too much publicity.
She was fired from JAT in the early 1990s after taking part in anti-government protests during the breakup of Yugoslavia, but avoided arrest as the government was concerned about the negative publicity that her imprisonment would bring.
She continued her work as a pro-democracy activist until the Socialist Party of Serbia was ousted from power during the Bulldozer Revolution of October 2000.
Driven by her love of the Beatles, Vulović travelled to the United Kingdom after completing her first year of university, hoping to improve her English-language skills.
Upon returning to Belgrade, Vulović decided to become a flight attendant after seeing one of her friends in a flight attendant's uniform.
The secondary crew of JAT Flight 367, flying from Stockholm to Belgrade with stopovers in Copenhagen and Zagreb, arrived in Denmark on the morning of 25 January 1972.
According to Vulović, she was not scheduled to be on Flight 367, and JAT had confused her for another flight attendant also named Vesna.
The aircraft, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9, landed at Copenhagen Airport at 2:30 p.m., whereupon Vulović and her colleagues boarded the plane.
Her turquoise uniform was covered in blood and her stiletto heels had been torn off by the force of the impact.
Air safety investigators attributed Vulović's survival to her being trapped by a food cart in the DC-9's fuselage as it broke away from the rest of the aircraft and plummeted towards the ground.
When the cabin depressurized, the passengers and other flight crew were blown out of the aircraft and fell to their deaths.
Investigators believed that the fuselage, with Vulović pinned inside, landed at an angle in a heavily wooded and snow-covered mountainside, which cushioned the impact.
Vulović's physicians concluded that her history of low blood pressure caused her to pass out quickly after the cabin depressurized and kept her heart from bursting on impact.
Vulović said that she was aware of her low blood pressure before applying to become a flight attendant and knew that it would result in her failing her medical examination, but she drank an excessive amount of coffee beforehand and was accepted.
She was offered a hypnotic injection to help her sleep during the flight back to Yugoslavia, but declined, explaining that she was not afraid of flying because she had no memory of the crash.
In Belgrade, Vulović's hospital room was placed under 24-hour police protection because the authorities feared that the perpetrators of the bombing would wish to kill her.
The guards changed shifts every six hours, and no one was allowed in to see her except for her parents and doctors.
Vulović's hospitalization lasted until June 1972, after which she travelled to Montenegro to recuperate at a seaside resort, where her doctors visited her every two or three days.
Within ten months of her fall, Vulović had regained the ability to walk, but limped for the rest of her life, her spine permanently twisted.
The airline felt that her presence on flights would attract too much publicity and instead gave her a desk job negotiating freight contracts.
Vulović continued to fly regularly, stating that other passengers were surprised to see her on flights and wanted to sit next to her.
Although she was advised by physicians that her injuries would not have an adverse effect on her reproductive function, Vulović experienced an ectopic pregnancy that nearly proved fatal and was never able to have children.
In 1985, The Guinness Book of World Records recognized her as the world record holder for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: .
Vulović was thus officially acknowledged as having surpassed the records of other fall survivors, such as Alan Magee, Nicholas Alkemade, and Ivan Chisov.
Around the same time, Vulović was fired from JAT for speaking out against Serbian statesman Slobodan Milošević and taking part in anti-government protests.
In response to her activism, pro-Milošević tabloids launched a smear campaign against her, claiming that Flight 367 had been shot down by a Czechoslovak surface-to-air missile and that she had fallen from a lesser height than previously believed.
When Milošević and his Socialist Party of Serbia were ousted in the Bulldozer Revolution of October 2000, Vulović was among several celebrities who took to the balcony of Belgrade's city hall to make victory addresses.
She later campaigned on behalf of the Democratic Party and advocated for Serbia's entry into the European Union, which she believed would bring economic prosperity.
In 2009, Peter Hornung-Andersen and Pavel Theiner, two Prague-based journalists, claimed that Flight 367 had been mistaken for an enemy aircraft and shot down by the Czechoslovak Air Force at an altitude of , far lower than the official altitude of .
Vulović said that she was aware of the journalists' claims, but stated that because she had no memory of the event, she could not confirm or deny the allegations.
In the last years of her life, Vulović lived on a pension of €300 per month in her dilapidated Belgrade apartment.
Vulović lamented that her mother and father might not have died prematurely had she not been aboard Flight 367, stating that the incident not only ruined her life, but also those of her parents.
By the time she had reached her sixties, Vulović's deteriorating health prevented her from taking part in annual commemorations at Srbská Kamenice, which she had previously attended for many years.
The Smurf Amplifier Registry is a blacklist of networks on the Internet which have been misconfigured in such a way that they can be used as smurf amplifiers for smurf denial of service attacks.
It can probe networks for vulnerability to smurf amplification, and then will either add them to its database, or remove them from the database, depending on the result of the test.
The explosion came two days after Vladimir Putin won reelection and several weeks after a suicide bombing killed 41 Moscow subway passengers.
According to the official version, Alekseychik was fired from his natural gas technician job several days prior to the explosion, and to get even with his former employers and the city he sabotaged the gas system thus causing the tragedy.
Radley College (formally St Peter's College, Radley) is a boys' Public School (independent boarding school) near Radley, Oxfordshire, England, which was founded in 1847.
It is one of four boys-only, boarding-only independent senior schools in the United Kingdom, the others being Winchester, Harrow and Eton.
The five other public schools listed in the Public Schools Act 1868 have since become co-educational: Rugby (1976), Charterhouse (1971), Westminster (1973), Wellington (2005), and Shrewsbury (2014).
For the academic year 2015/16, Radley charged boarders up to £11,475 per term, making it the 19th most expensive HMC (Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference) boarding school.
After the school was founded, extensive building work took place, beginning with the Chapel (replaced by the current building in 1895), F Social and the Octagon (the earliest living accommodation for the boys), the Clocktower (now the icon of Radley), and in 1910 the Dining Hall.
Building work has continued throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, with two new Socials, a weights-room/gym, a theatre, and a Real Tennis court being completed since 2006.
Radley College issued a statement expressing full support for staff and procedures both within the art department and across the school.
In 2005 Radley College was one of fifty of the country's leading independent schools which were found guilty by the Office of Fair Trading of running an illegal price-fixing cartel which had allowed them to drive up fees .
Each school was required to pay a nominal penalty of £21,360 and all agreed to make ex-gratia payments totalling three million pounds into a Trust designed to benefit pupils who attended the schools during the period in respect of which fee information was shared.
In their defence, Jean Scott, the head of the Independent Schools Council, said that independent schools had previously been exempt from the anti-cartel rules applied to business; they were following a long-established procedure in sharing the information with one another and they were unaware of the current law.
In 2012, the Independent review of A level results, based on government issued statistics, ranked Radley 31st in the UK, ahead of Malvern (32nd), Harrow (34th), Winchester (73rd), Tonbridge (74th), Eton (80th) and Wellington (89th) By 2019 they were still in the top 100 but had dropped to 75th place.
Sports played at the College are rugby football in the Michaelmas (Autumn) Term, hockey, rowing and football in the Lent Term and cricket, rowing, lawn tennis and athletics in the Summer Term.
The cricket grounds (including Smithson Fields) have been described as 'arguably one of the best in the country' while the sporting facilities have been described as world class.
A real tennis court opened in July 2008, which made Radley College the only school in the world to have fives, squash, badminton, tennis, racquets and real tennis courts all on campus.
The school lent its name to the thirty-first steam locomotive (Engine 930) in the Southern Railway's Class V of which there were 40.
This Class was also known as the Schools Class because all 40 of the class were named after prominent English public schools.
Nagamine named his style in honor of the two most important masters that his teachings were based upon, Sōkon Matsumura of Shuri-te, and Kosaku Matsumora of Tomari-te.
Normally, the style is referred to as Shōrin-ryū, but when a definite distinction is required between the other styles of the Shōrin-ryū family (Kobayashi Shōrin-ryū, Shōbayashi Shōrin-ryū and Matsumura Seito Hohan Sōken) then it is called Matsubayashi-ryū.
These are the ranks as set out by the World Matsubayashi-ryu (Shorin-ryu) Karate-Do Association (WMKA) and the Kodokan Nagamine Karate Dojo (World Honbu).
After the passing of the Matsubayashi-ryu founder, Shoshin Nagamine, in 1997 many practitioners of Matsubayashi-ryu Karate-do were affiliated with the Nagamine Honbu Dojo and the Okinawan Matsubayashi-ryu Karate-do Federation.
The Major Dojos and organizations in the United States are the SKKA, Okinawan Shorin ryu Midwest Honbu Dojo, the WSKF, the NAMKA and the SRKDI.
Pharnaces II of Pontus, also known as Pharnaces II (; about 97–47 BC) was the king of the Bosporan Kingdom until his death.
He was born and raised in the Kingdom of Pontus and was the namesake of his late double great grandfather Pharnaces I of Pontus.
After his father was defeated by the Romans in the Third Mithridatic War (73–63 BC) and died in 63 BC, the Romans annexed Pontus, merged it with the former Kingdom of Bithynia and formed the Roman Province of Bithynia and Pontus.
However, we know little of his youth from ancient writers and find him first mentioned after Mithridates VI was defeated by the Roman general Pompey during the Third Mithridatic War.
Cassius Dio and Florus wrote that Mithridates planned to attack Italy by crossing Scythia and the River Danube, according to the former, or through Thrace, Macedonia and Greece, according to the latter.
He went to Roman deserters who were encamped near Mithridates to highlight the dangers of the expedition and to encourage them to desert his father.
However, it did not have an effect on him because he was used to taking small portions of poison as a protection against poisoners.
He gave him the Cimmerian Bosporus except for Phanagoria, which was to be independent as a reward for having been the first to rebel against Mithridates.
Mithridates suppressed this before it caused troubles and punished some people, including some of his sons, just of the basis of suspicions.
Mithridates took some poison, but this did not kill him as he was used to take large doses of poison as an antidote.
In 49 BC, a civil war (Caesar's Civil War) broke out between Gaius Julius Caesar and the Roman senate whose forces were led by Pompey.
He took advantage of the absence of Deiotarus, the king of Galatia and Lesser Armenia, to seize Lesser Armenia, part of Cappadocia, and some cities in the Roman province of Bithynia and Pontus which had formerly been part of the Kingdom of Pontus and had been assigned to the Bithynia district of that province.
Caesar, who still had trouble in Egypt, sent Gnaeus Domitius Calvinus to take charge of the Roman legions in Roman province of Asia.
He next advanced towards Bithynia and the Roman province of Asia, but stopped because he learnt that Asander, whom he had left in charge back home in the Cimmerian Bosporus had revolted.
In his book on the Civil Wars, Appian only mentioned that Pharnaces seized the city of Amisus in Pontus, sold its inhabitants into slavery and made the boys eunuchs.
However, in his book on the Mithridatic Wars, he wrote that Pharnaces seized Sinope in Pontus and wanted to also take Amisus (further east in Pontus) and that it was for this reason that he made war on Domitius.
King Deiotarus went to see to Calvinus to beg him not to allow Lesser Armenia or Cappadocia, to be overrun by Pharnaces, otherwise he could not pay the money he had promised to Caesar.
Domitius considered this money to be indispensable for the military expenses and felt that it would be shameful if the kingdoms of the Roman allies and friends were to be seized by Pharnaces.
Thus, he sent envoys to Pharnaces to ask him to withdraw from Armenia and Cappadocia, believing that this would have greater impact than advancing on him with an army.
He had at his disposal only one Roman legion, the 36th, and two legions provided by Deiotarus which were equipped and trained the Roman way.
Pharnaces sent a reply in which he said that he had withdrawn from Cappadocia but had recovered Lesser Armenia which was his inheritance from his father and that, regarding this, he would wait for Caesar's reply and comply with what he decided.
Domitius thought that he had withdrawn from Cappadocia out of necessity rather than his free will because he heard about the two legions sent to Caesar and thought that if they advanced towards Armenia, he could defend it better if he stayed in Lesser Armenia.
Domitius insisted that Pharnaces should withdraw from Lesser Armenia, too, and marched towards Armenia through a wooded ridge which formed the border between Cappadocia and Armenia and extended into Lesser Armenia.
He got the local farmers to graze their cattle at various points in the gorge so that Domitius would not suspect an ambush and to encourage his troops to scatter to plunder the cattle.
Pharnaces intercepted dispatches from Caesar to Domitius and learnt that the latter was still in difficulty in Alexandria and was asking Domitius to send him reinforcements and to advance closer to Alexandria via Syria.
He placed his infantry between the trenches and the cavalry, which far outnumbered the Roman cavalry, on the flanks, outside the trenches.
He lined up for battle near his camp, posting the legions of Deioratus in the centre, the 36th on the right and the one from Pontus in a narrow line supported by the remaining cohorts.
In the battle the 36th attacked the enemy cavalry successfully and advanced close to the city walls, crossed the trench and attacked the enemy rear.
Pharnaces occupied Pontus, took many towns by storm, plundered the property of Roman and Pontic citizens and meted out harsh punishments on the youth.
He sent envoys to Caesar to see if he could make terms with him, reminding him that he had cooperated with Pompey.
He hoped for a truce and that Caesar would proceed to deal with urgent matters in Italy and Africa, after which he could resume his war.
Caesar suspected this and treated two embassies well, so that Pharnaces would hope for peace and he could attack him by surprise.
According to Plutarch, Caesar learned about the defeat of Domitius by Pharnaces and that Pharnaces was taking advantage of this to occupy Bithynia and Cappadocia and hoped to gain Lesser Armenia by instigating revolts by the local princes and tetrarchs when he left Egypt and was crossing Asia.
He jumped on his horse and started the battle, killing many of the enemy, even though he had only 100 cavalry.
In Cappadocia he prevented disputes between Ariobarzanes II of Cappadocia and his brother Ariarathes by giving the latter part of Lesser Armenia as a vassal of the former.
Besides this legion Caesar had the veteran 6th legion he had brought from Alexandria, which had lost many men in previous combats and was reduced to 1,000 men, and two legions which had fought with Domitius.
Caesar replied that he would be fair if Pharnaces kept his promise and ordered him to withdraw from Pontus and make restitutions to Rome's allies and Roman citizens.
He would accept his gifts (Pharnaces had sent him a golden crown) only after he had done what he was asked.
Pharnaces promised to comply and, hoping that Caesar would trust him as he had to return to Rome in a hurry, he asked for a later date for his withdrawal and proposed agreements as a delaying tactic.
Pharnaces had repaired the rampant of the camp his father had built when he posted his forces there during the Third Mithridatic War.
The following night he left his camp with all his troops and occupied a spot nearer the enemy camp which was the place where Pharnaces’ father defeated a Roman army.
This victory filled Caesar 'with incredible delight' because he brought a very serious war to an end quickly, won an easy victory and resolved a very difficult situation.
Caesar also allowed him to wage war against Asander and conquer the Cimmerian Bosporus because he had shown cruelty to his friend Pharnaces.
In the early 1st century BC Mithridates VI made an alliance with the Sarmatian tribes, and, probably through this alliance, Pharnaces (possibly sometime after 77 BC) married an unnamed Sarmatian noblewoman.
The 18th-century librettist Antonio Maria Lucchini crafted a libretto based on incidents from the life of Pharnaces II that was originally set by Antonio Vivaldi in 1727 under the title Farnace.
Based on the number of revivals of it that were staged, it must be counted as one of Vivaldi's most successful operas.
Isaac Bickerstaff Esq was a pseudonym used by Jonathan Swift as part of a hoax to predict the death of then famous Almanac–maker and astrologer John Partridge.
Accounts of an undertaker arriving at his house to arrange drapes for the mourning, an elegy being printed and even a gravestone being carved, all culminate to Partridge publishing a letter in hopes to have a last word on the matter and proclaim (and reclaim) himself as living.
In 1709 Swift, writing as Bickerstaff for the last time, publishes A Vindication of Isaac Bickerstaff in which he abandons any real attempt to maintain the hoax.
John Partridge (1644 - c. 1714) was an English astrologer, the author and publisher of a number of astrological almanacs and books.
Although starting out in life humbly enough (he was working as a shoemaker in Covent Garden around 1680), Partridge managed to teach himself enough Latin, Greek, Hebrew and astrology to enrol at Leyden University, Holland.
His program for reform involved eliminating the elements derived for the medieval Arabic tradition in favour of a return to Ptolemy.
Born in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, he was the mayor of the municipality from 1917 to 1930 and from 1932 to 1944 and president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities in 1918.
He also founded the Union des municipalités de la province du Québec (Federation of municipalities in the province of Quebec) in 1919.
He served as Liberal leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1936 to 1939, after Liberal leader Adélard Godbout lost the 1936 election and also narrowly lost his own seat.
Positive economics (as opposed to normative economics) is the branch of economics that concerns the description and explanation of economic phenomena.
Still, positive economics is commonly deemed necessary for the ranking of economic policies or outcomes as to acceptability, which is normative economics.
The methodological basis for a positive/normative distinction has its roots in the fact-value distinction in philosophy, the principal proponents of such distinctions being David Hume and G. E. Moore.
Such debates are reflected in discussion of positive science and specifically in economics, where critics, such as Gunnar Myrdal (1954), and proponents of Feminist Economics such as Julie A. Nelson, Geoff Schneider and Jean Shackelford, and Diana Strassmann, dispute the idea that economics can be completely neutral and agenda-free.
A small multiple (sometimes called trellis chart, lattice chart, grid chart, or panel chart) is a series of similar graphs or charts using the same scale and axes, allowing them to be easily compared.
In the example, the departmental salary expense is charted by month with a dashed line indicating the average for each department.
Muybridge's work not only proved for the first time that all four of a horse's hooves left the ground during gallop (see upper central plates), but it also broke new ground in terms of artistic expression and became foundational to the development of the motion picture.
Muybridge went on to produce many more examples of small multiples showing animal locomotion through the medium of stop-motion photography, including boys playing leapfrog and a bison cantering.
Superintendent of the US Census at the time of its creation, Walker was determined to modernize the Census collection and analysis methods and used the Atlas to present the final data set using unprecedented visual forms, including many beautiful examples of small multiples.

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is a public research university on Keppel Street, Bloomsbury, Camden, and a constituent college of the University of London that specialises in public health and tropical medicine.
Since its foundation it has become one of the most highly placed institutions in global rankings in the fields of public health and infectious diseases.
The LSHTM's mission is to contribute to the improvement of health worldwide through the pursuit of excellence in research, postgraduate teaching and advanced training in national and international public health and tropical medicine, and through informing policy and practice in these areas.
The annual income of the institution for 2018–19 was £247.5 million of which £167.6 million was from research grants and contracts, with an expenditure of £267.8 million.
The school was founded in 1899 by Sir Patrick Manson as the London School of Tropical Medicine after the Parsi philanthropist Bomanjee Dinshaw Petit made a donation of £6,666.
Just prior to this teaching in tropical medicine had been commenced in 1899 at the Extramural school at Edinburgh and even earlier at London's Livingstone College founded in 1893 by Charles F. Harford-Battersby (1865–1925).
Before giving lectures at St George's Hospital, London, in 1895, Livingstone College afforded Manson his first opportunity to teach courses in tropical medicine.
Manson's early career was as a physician in the Far East where he deduced the correct etiology of filariasis, a parasitic vector based disease, transmitted through the bite of a mosquito.
He strongly believed that doctors should be trained in tropical medicine to treat British colonial administrators and others working throughout Britain's tropical empire.
He also encouraged and mentored Ronald Ross during this period to uncover the correct etiology of malaria, which Ross subsequently discovered in 1897, winning the Nobel Prize for his efforts.
Among the School's early achievements were discoveries by George Carmichael Low, who proved filariasis is spread by mosquito bites, and Aldo Castellani, who discovered trypanosomes in the cerebral fluid of those affected by sleeping sickness, as well as further experiments proving mosquitoes as the vector in the spread of malaria.
During World War I, many of the faculty were conscripted into the army where they often continued to treat or research tropical diseases with the aim of protecting the health of the troops fighting in the Middle Eastern and African campaigns.
On the night of January 19th, 1917 a TNT explosion from a nearby munition depot damaged the school and hospital, further complicating the School's operations.
As a result of the war, the School expected an increase in the amount of patients suffering from tropical diseases after the return of troops from abroad and so a resolution was proposed to move the School to Central London.
In 1920 the School moved, with the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, to Endsleigh Gardens in central London, taking over a former hotel which had been used as a hospital for officers during the First World War.
In 1921 the Athlone Committee recommended the creation of an institute of state medicine, which built on a proposal by the Rockefeller Foundation to develop a London-based institution that would lead the world in the promotion of public health and tropical medicine.
A competition to design a new school building to be sited in Gower Street, was held involving five architects, all experienced in laboratory design and construction.
The purchase of the site and the cost of a new building was made possible through a gift of $2m from the Rockefeller Foundation.
The Faculty of Epidemiology and Population Health aims to be a methodological centre of excellence for research in national and global health issues, to expand the limits of epidemiological thinking & multi-disciplinary research to further understanding of health issues in their full complexity, to develop, refine and disseminate tools & methods for research design, data collection, analysis and evaluation, and to conduct rigorous research in national and global health.
The Faculty of Infectious and Tropical Diseases (ITD) was formed in August 1997 and encompasses all of the laboratory-based research in the School as well as that on the clinical and epidemiological aspects of infectious and tropical diseases.
The range of disciplines represented in the faculty is very broad and inter-disciplinary research is a feature of much of its activity.
The Faculty of Public Health and Policy aims to improve global health through research, teaching and the provision of advice in the areas of health policy, health systems and services, and individual, social and environmental influences on health.
The School has the largest numbers of research active staff in the areas of epidemiology, public health and health services research in the UK.
The Faculty of Public Health and Policy has over 220 members of staff, including epidemiologists, public health physicians, economists, policy analysts, anthropologists, sociologists, historians, psychologists, statisticians and mathematicians.
The Faculty's research programmes, with an annual spend of over £7m, focus on public health problems of importance both globally and in the UK, and build on an extensive network of collaborations.
The research programmes exploit multidisciplinary and multi-method approaches, generate new knowledge for specific contexts and test transferability to different settings, and engage with policymakers and providers of health care to ensure research is relevant and translated into practice.
The Faculty hosts School Centres in the areas of History in Public Health, Research on Drugs and Health Behaviours, Spatial Analysis in Public Health, Global Change and Health, Health of Societies in Transition (ECOHOST), and Gender Violence and Health.
In addition, staff participate in Centres based in other departments, notably the Malaria Centre and the Centre for the Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Disease.
All three Faculties offer a wide range of MSc courses and Research Degrees leading to a University of London degree of DrPH, MPhil and PhD.
The LSHTM won the 2009 Gates Award for Global Health established by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and received $1 million in prize money.
More recently, a team of researchers led by Richard Hayes at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, have been awarded $37 million to test an innovative combination of strategies to prevent HIV in African countries.
In 2015 and 2016, US News Best Global Universities Rankings ranked the LSHTM as 3rd in the world for social sciences and public health, ranking behind only Harvard and Johns Hopkins Universities.
The School also ranked 29th in the world for clinical medicine, 20th for immunology and 39th for microbiology, contributing to an overall ranking of 114th in the world, 38th in Europe and 10th in the UK.
In the 2015 CWTS Leiden Ranking, the LSHTM has been ranked top university in Europe for research impact in all fields, ahead of Oxford and Cambridge.
The School is also ranked 6th overall in the world for impact based on the top 1% of published papers in all fields, after MIT, Harvard, Caltech, Stanford and Berkeley, 3rd in the world for biomedical and health sciences, after only MIT and Caltech, and 5th in the world overall for collaborative research.
The School has been ranked one of the top three research institutions in the UK in the Times Higher Education Table of Excellence, which is based on the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise.
Many normative (value) judgments, however, are held conditionally, to be given up if facts or knowledge of facts changes, so that a change of values may be purely scientific.
This specific statement makes the judgment that farmers deserve a higher living standard and that family farms ought to be saved.
Some earlier technical problems posed in welfare economics and the theory of justice have been sufficiently addressed as to leave room for consideration of proposals in applied fields such as resource allocation, public policy, social indicators, and inequality and poverty measurement.
Bringing years of previous toy making experience, Milton and Julius Forcheimer, two immigrant cousins from Nuremberg, Germany, whose family was involved in the production of Fandor trains founded Dorfan in 1924.
Dorfan's alloys suffered from impurities, which weakened the metal and caused the trains to disintegrate over time, an early victim of zinc pest.
Dorfan was also unique in its approach of building model trains that could be easily disassembled and reassembled, encouraging its customers to take the trains apart and learn how they worked (McKenney, 1993; Dorfan, pp.
At its peak, Dorfan had about 150 employees, but the Great Depression crippled the company and was not able to recover.
Because of the inevitable deterioration of the engine castings, limited numbers of Dorfan trains survive today, making them among the highly sought after models by collectors.
Some of the Dorfan tooling was later used by Unique Art to make its tinplate trains in the early 1950s (McKenney, 1993; Dorfan, pp.
The experiment sent a hydrogen maser, a highly accurate frequency standard, into space to measure with high precision the rate at which time passes in a weaker gravitational field.
Masses cause distortions in spacetime, which leads to the effects of length contraction and time dilation, both predicted results of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Because of the bending of spacetime, an observer on Earth (in a lower gravitational potential) should measure a different rate at which time passes than an observer that is sufficiently high up in Earth's atmosphere (at higher gravitational potential).
The equivalence principle states that a reference frame in a uniform gravitational field is indistinguishable from a reference frame that is under uniform acceleration.
Further, the equivalence principle predicts that phenomenon of different time flow rates, present in a uniformly accelerating reference frame, will also be present in a stationary reference frame that is in a uniform gravitational field.
The probe was carried via a Scout rocket, and attained a height of 10,000 km (6,200 mi), while remaining in space for 1 hour and 55 minutes, as intended.
The equivalence principle was a key component of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, and states that the laws of physics are the same regardless of whether you consider a uniformly accelerating reference frame or a reference frame that is acted upon by uniform gravitational field.
First, imagine a rocket ship that is at rest on the Earth's surface; objects in the rocket ship are being accelerated downward at 9.81 m/s².
Now, imagine a rocket ship that has escaped Earth's gravitational field and is accelerating upwards at a constant 9.81 m/s² due to thrust from its rockets; objects in the rocket ship that are dropped will fall to the floor with an acceleration of 9.81 m/s².
Further, the equivalence principle guarantees that phenomena that are caused by inertial effects will also be present due to gravitational effects.
The light beam does not seem to travel on a horizontal path according to the outside observer, rather the light seems to bend down toward the floor (because the floor is accelerating uniformly upward).
Indeed, the phenomenon of gravitational lensing states that matter can bend light, and this phenomenon has been observed by the Hubble Telescope.
Time dilation refers to the expansion or contraction in the rate at which time passes, and was the subject of the Gravity Probe A experiment.
Under Einstein's theory of general relativity, matter distorts the surrounding spacetime, so that space gets bent similarly to the way a sheet of fabric would bend if a bowling ball were dropped in the middle of the sheet.
But the distortion manifests itself in the time direction as well: time would appear for a distant observer to flow more slowly in the vicinity of a massive object.
For example, the metric, surrounding a spherically symmetric gravitating body, has a smaller coefficient at formula_1 closer to the body, which means slower rate of time flow there.
There is a similar idea of time dilation occurrence in Einstein's theory of special relativity (which deals with neither gravity nor the idea of curved spacetime).
Such a particle would observe time passing faster on the side it is accelerating towards and more slowly on the opposite side.
Einstein's equivalence principle generalizes this analogy, stating that an accelerating reference frame is locally indistinguishable from an inertial reference frame with a gravity force acting upon it.
In this way, the Gravity Probe A was a test of the equivalence principle, matching the observations in the inertial reference frame (of special relativity) of the Earth's surface affected by gravity, with the predictions of special relativity for the same frame treated as being accelerating upwards with respect to free fall reference, which can thought of being inertial and gravity-less.
Maser is an acronym for microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, and is similar to a laser, as it produces coherent electromagnetic waves in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum (as opposed to lasers which produce light in the visible or ultraviolet region).
The probe was launched nearly vertically upward to cause a large change in the gravitational potential seen by the maser, reaching a height of .
Along with the hydrogen maser, a microwave repeater was also included in the probe in order to measure the Doppler shift of the maser signal.
A Doppler shift occurs when a source is moving relative to the observer of that source, and results in a shift in the frequency that corresponds to the direction and magnitude of the source's motion.
The maser's signal is Doppler shifted because it is launched vertically at a high speed relative to the Earth, and the results from the maser need to be Doppler shifted in order to be correctly understood.
The goal of the experiment was to measure the rate at which time passes in a higher gravitational potential, so to test this the maser in the probe was compared to a similar maser that remained on Earth.
Before the two clock rates could be compared, the Doppler shift was subtracted out of the clock rate measured by the maser that was sent into space, to correct for the relative motion between the observers on Earth and the motion of the probe.
The two clock rates were then compared and further compared against the theoretical predictions of how the two clock rates would differ.
The stability of the maser permitted measurement of changes in the rate of the maser of 1 part in 10 for a 100-second measurement.
Gravity Probe A confirmed the prediction that deeper in the gravity well the time flows slower, and the observed effects matched the predicted effects to an accuracy of about 70 parts per million.
Born in Montreal, Quebec, Marler studied at Selwyn House School, Bishop's College School, Royal Naval College of Canada and McGill University, where he earned a bachelor of civil law degree.
Marler successfully ran as a Liberal candidate in the provincial district of Westmount–Saint-Georges in a by-election held on March 23, 1942.
At the 1950 Quebec Liberal Party leadership convention, Marler declined nomination, and Georges-Émile Lapalme became the new party leader on May 20, 1950.
However, Lapalme failed to win a seat in the legislature in the 1952 election, so Marler continued as Leader of the Opposition until Lapalme won a by-election in 1953.
Marler resigned from the legislature on June 30, 1954, and was appointed to the federal cabinet of Louis Saint-Laurent as minister of transport.
One of the founding members of the society was Eduard Rüppell, and the two men collaborated in publishing the results of Rüppell's explorations in Africa.
Lord Howe Island (; formerly Lord Howe's Island) is an irregularly crescent-shaped volcanic remnant in the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand, directly east of mainland Port Macquarie, northeast of Sydney, and about southwest of Norfolk Island.
It is about long and between wide with an area of , though just of that comprise the low-lying developed part of the island.
Most of the population lives in the north, while the south is dominated by forested hills rising to the highest point on the island, Mount Gower ().
Apart from Lord Howe Island itself, the most notable of these is the volcanic and uninhabited Ball's Pyramid about to the southeast of Howe.
When whaling declined, the 1880s saw the beginning of the worldwide export of the endemic kentia palms, which remains a key component of the Island's economy.
The Lord Howe Island Group is part of the state of New South Wales and is regarded legally as an unincorporated area administered by the Lord Howe Island Board, which reports to the New South Wales Minister for Environment and Heritage.
Most of the island is virtually untouched forest, with many of the plants and animals found nowhere else in the world.
Other natural attractions include the diversity of the landscapes, the variety of upper mantle and oceanic basalts, the world's southernmost barrier coral reef, nesting seabirds, and the rich historical and cultural heritage.
The island was added to the Australian National Heritage List on 21 May 2007 and the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.
Lord Howe Island is part of the IBRA region Pacific Subtropical Islands (code PSI) and is subregion PSI01 with an area of .
Prior to European discovery and settlement, Lord Howe Island apparently was uninhabited, and unknown to Polynesian peoples of the South Pacific.
The first reported European sighting of Lord Howe Island was on 17 February 1788 by Lieutenant Henry Lidgbird Ball, commander of the Armed Tender (the oldest and smallest of the First Fleet ships), which was on its way from Botany Bay with a cargo of nine male and six female convicts to found a penal settlement on Norfolk Island.
On the return journey of 13 March 1788, Ball observed Ball's Pyramid and sent a party ashore on Lord Howe Island to claim it as a British possession.
Ball named Mount Lidgbird and Ball's Pyramid after himself and the main island after Richard Howe, 1st Earl Howe, who was First Lord of the Admiralty at the time.
Inside the reef also there were fish innumerable, which were so easily taken with a hook and line as to be able to catch a boat full in a short time.
The island was subsequently visited by many government and whaling ships sailing between New South Wales and Norfolk Island and across the Pacific, including many from the American whaling fleet, so its reputation as a provisioning port preceded settlement, with some ships leaving goats and pigs on the island as food for future visitors.
Between July and October 1791, the Third Fleet ships arrived at Sydney and within days, the deckwork was being reconstructed for a future in the lucrative whaling industry.
Whale oil was to become Australia's most profitable export until the 1830s, and the whaling industry shaped Lord Howe Island's early history.
They left three men, George Ashdown, James Bishop, and Chapman, who were employed by a Sydney whaling firm to establish a supply station.
Huts were built in an area now known as Old Settlement, which had a supply of fresh water, and a garden was established west of Blinky Beach.
This was a cashless society; the settlers bartered their stores of water, wood, vegetables, meat, fish, and bird feathers for clothes, tea, sugar, tools, tobacco, and other commodities not available on the island, but it was the whalers' valuation that had to be accepted.
These first settlers eventually left the island when they were bought out for £350 in September 1841 by businessmen Owen Poole and Richard Dawson (later joined by John Foulis), whose employees and others then settled on the island.
The new business was advertised and ships trading between Sydney and the New Hebrides (Vanuatu) would also put into the island.
Between 1839 and 1859, five to 12 ships made landfall each year, occasionally closer to 20, with seven or eight at a time laying off the reef.
Then in 1847, Poole, Dawson, and Foulis, bitter at failing to obtain a land lease from the New South Wales government, abandoned the settlement although three of their employees remained.
In the 1850s, gold was discovered on mainland Australia, where crews would abandon their ships, preferring to dig for gold than to risk their lives at sea.
As a consequence, many vessels avoided the mainland and Lord Howe Island experienced an increasing trade, which peaked between 1855 and 1857.
Between 1851 and 1853, several aborted proposals were made by the NSW government to establish a penal settlement on the island.
On board were three Scottish biologists, William Milne (a gardener-botanist from the Edinburgh Botanic Garden), John MacGillivray (naturalist) who collected fish and plant specimens, and assistant surgeon and zoologist Denis Macdonald.
George Campbell (who died in 1856) and Jack Brian (who left the island in 1854) arrived, and the third, Nathan Thompson, brought three women (called Botanga, Bogoroo, and a girl named Bogue) from the Gilbert Islands.
Thompson was the first resident to build a substantial house in the 1860s from mainland cedar washed up on the beach.
Most of the residents with island ancestors have blood relations or are connected by marriage to Thompson and his second wife Bogue.
From the early 1860s, whaling declined rapidly with the increasing use of petroleum, the onset of the California gold rush, and the American Civil War—with unfortunate consequences for the island.
It anchored in deep water at what is now Sylph's Hole off Old Settlement Beach, but was eventually tragically lost at sea in 1873, which added to the woes of the island at that time.
He was accompanied by Charles Moore, director of the Botanic Gardens in Sydney, and his assistant William Carron, who forwarded plant specimens to Ferdinand Mueller at the botanic gardens in Melbourne, who by 1875, had catalogued and published 195 species.
Together, they surveyed the island with the findings published in 1870 when the population was listed as 35 people, their 13 houses built of split palm battens thatched on the roof and sides with palm leaves.
Around this time, a downturn of trade began with the demise of the whaling industry and sometimes six to 12 months passed without a vessel calling.
From 1860 to 1872, 43 ships had collected provisions, but from 1873 to 1887, fewer than a dozen had done so.
In 1876, a government report on the island was submitted by surveyor William Fitzgerald based on a visit in the same year.
He also managed to upset the residents, and parliamentarian John Wilson was sent from the mainland in April 1882 to investigate the situation.
With Wilson was a team of scientists who included H. Wilkinson from the Mines Department, W. Condor from the Survey Department, J. Duff from the Sydney Botanical Gardens, and A. Morton from the Australian Museum.
This study sealed a lasting relationship with three scientific organisations, the Australian Museum, Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens, and Kew Royal Botanic Gardens.
The first plane to appear on the island was in 1931, when Francis Chichester alighted on the lagoon in a de Havilland Gipsy Moth converted into a floatplane.
It was damaged there in an overnight storm, but repaired with the assistance of islanders and then took off successfully nine weeks later for a flight to Sydney.
After World War II, in 1947, tourists arrived on Catalina and then four-engined Sandringham flying boats of Ansett Flying Boat Services operating out of Rose Bay, Sydney, and landing on the lagoon, the journey taking about 3½ hours.
When Lord Howe Island Airport was completed in 1974, the seaplanes were eventually replaced with QantasLink twin-engined turboprop Dash 8-200 aircraft.
In recent times, tourism has increased and the government of New South Wales has been increasingly involved with issues of conservation.
A plan has been made to drop 42 tonnes of rat bait across the island, but the community is heavily divided.
As at the 2016 census, the resident population was 382 people, and the number of tourists was not allowed to exceed 400.
Early settlers were European and American whalers and many of their offspring have remained on the island for more than six generations.
Nowadays, the area known locally as Church Paddock has Anglican, Catholic, and Adventist churches, the religious affiliations on the island being 30% Anglican, 22% no religion, 18% Catholic and 12% Seventh Day Adventist.
The ratio of the sexes is roughly equal, with 47% of the population in the age group 25–54 and 92% holding Australian citizenship.
In 1878, Richard Armstrong was appointed administrator when the NSW Parliament declared the island a forest reserve, but as a result of ill feeling, and an enquiry, he was eventually removed from office on 31 May 1882 (he returned later that year though to view the transit of Venus from present-day Transit Hill).
After his removal, the island was administered by four successive magistrates until 1913, when a Sydney-based board was formed; in 1948, a resident superintendent was appointed.
In 1913, the three-man Lord Howe Island Board of Control was established, mostly to regulate the palm seed industry, but also administering the affairs of the island from Sydney until the present Lord Howe Island Board was set up in 1954.
The Lord Howe Island Board is a NSW Statutory Authority established under the Lord Howe Island Act 1953, to administer the island as part of the state of New South Wales.
It reports directly to the state's Minister for Environment and Heritage, and is responsible for the care, control, and management of the island.
Its duties include the protection of World Heritage values; the control of development; the administration of Crown Land, including the island's protected area; provision of community services and infrastructure; and regulating sustainable tourism.
The board also manages the Lord Howe Island kentia palm nursery, which together with tourism, provides the island's only sources of external income.
Under an amendment bill in 2004, the board now comprises seven members, four of whom are elected from the islander community, thus giving about 350 permanent residents a high level of autonomy.
The full board meets on the island every three months, while the day-to-day affairs of the island are managed by the board's administration, with a permanent staff that had increased to 22 people by 1988.
Land tenure has been an issue since first settlement, as island residents repeatedly requested freehold title or an absolute gift of cultivated land.
In 1913, with the appointment of a board of control, permissive occupancies were revoked and the board itself given permissive occupancy of the island.
Short-term special leases were granted for larger areas used for agriculture, so in 1955, 55 perpetual leases and 43 special leases were granted.
An active debate exists concerning the proportion of residents with tenure and the degree of influence on the board of resident islanders in relation to long-term planning for visitors, and issues relating to the environment, amenity, and global heritage.
The first exporter of palm seeds was Ned King, a mountain guide for the Fitzgerald surveys of 1869 and 1876, who sent seed to the Sydney Botanic Gardens.
The native kentia palm (known locally as the thatch palm, as it was used to thatch the houses of the early settlers) is now the most popular decorative palm in the world.
The mild climate of the island has evolved a palm that can tolerate low light, a dry atmosphere and lowish temperatures—ideal for indoor conditions.
The nursery received certification in 1997 for its high quality management complying with the requirements of Australian Standard AS/NZS ISO 9002.
With fewer than 800 people on the island at any time, facilities are limited; they include a bakery, butcher, general store, liquor store, restaurants, post office, museum, and information centre, a police officer, a ranger, and an ATM at the bowling club.
To protect the fragile environment of Ball's Pyramid (which carries the last remaining wild population of the endangered Lord Howe Island stick insect), recreational climbing there is prohibited.
Tourist activities include golf (9-hole), lawn bowls, tennis, fishing (including deep-sea game fishing), yachting, windsurfing, kitesurfing, kayaking, and boat trips (including glass-bottom tours of the lagoon).
Swimming, snorkelling, and scuba diving are also popular in the lagoon, as well as off Tenth of June Island, a small rocky outcrop in the Admiralty group where an underwater plateau drops to reveal extensive gorgonia and black corals growing on the vertical walls.
Bushwalking, natural history tours, talks, and guided walks take place along the many tracks, the most challenging being the eight-hour guided hike to the top of Mount Gower.
Lying in the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand, the island is east of mainland Port Macquarie, northeast of Sydney, and about from Norfolk Island to its northeast.
Along the west coast is a semienclosed, sheltered coral reef lagoon with white sand, the most accessible of the island's 11 beaches.
Both the north and south sections of the island are high ground of relatively untouched forest, in the south comprising two volcanic mountains, Mount Lidgbird () and Mount Gower which, rising to , is the highest point on the island.
Apart from Lord Howe Island itself, the most notable of these is the pointed rocky islet Balls Pyramid, a eroded volcano about to the southeast, which is uninhabited by humans but bird-colonised.
Lord Howe Island is the highly eroded remains of a 7-million-year-old shield volcano, the product of eruptions that lasted for about 500,000 years.
It is one of a chain of islands that occur on the western rim of an undersea shelf, the Lord Howe Rise, which is long and wide extending from New Zealand to the west of New Caledonia and consisting of continental rocks that separated from the Australian plate 60 to 80 million years ago to form a new crust in the deep Tasman Basin.
The shelf is part of Zealandia, a microcontinent nearly half the size of Australia that gradually submerged after breaking away from the Gondwanan supercontinent.
The Lord Howe Seamount Chain is defined by coral-capped guyots stretching to the north of the island for and including the Middleton ( away) and Elizabeth ( away) reefs of the Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs Marine National Park Reserve.
This chain of nine volcanic peaks was probably produced by the northward movement of the Indo-Australian Plate over a stationary hotspot, so the oldest guyots were the first formed and most northerly as the plate moved northward at a rate of per year (see plate tectonics).
Geological pyroclastic remnants of volcanic eruption can be seen on the Roach Island (where the oldest rocks occur) and Boat Harbour as tuff (ash), breccia (with angular blocks), and agglomerate (rounded 'bombs').
From the dimensions of the rock on which the island stands, the island has been calculated to erode to 1/40th of its original size.
Rocks and land at the foot of these mountains is calcarenite, a coral sand, blown inland during the Pleistocene between 130,000 and 20,000 years ago and cemented into stratified layers by water percolation.
The crescent of the island protects a coral reef] and lagoon, the barrier reef, at 31°S, is the most southerly in the world.
Beach sands, rather than consisting of quartz grains derived from granite, as on the mainland, are made of fragments of shell, coral, and coralline algae, together with basalt grains, and basaltic minerals such as black diopside and green olivine.
The island continues to erode rapidly and is expected to be fully submerged within 200,000 years, taking an appearance akin to the Middleton and Elizabeth Reefs.
In general, the summers are warm-hot with rainfall erratic, but occasionally heavy, while in winter it is very mild with rainfall more or less uniform.
The humidity averages in the 60–70% range year round, becoming more noticeable on warmer summer days than in the cooler winter months.
Almost half of the island's native plants are endemic and many of the island's unique plants grow on or around the mountain summits where the height has allowed the development of a true cloud forest and many different microhabitats from sea level to the summits.
In geological terms at 7 million years old, Lord Howe Island is relatively young and was never part of any continent, its flora and fauna colonising the island from across the sea, carried by wind, water, or birds, possibly assisted at a geological time when other islands were exposed, enabling island hopping.
The combined flora of these two islands is more closely related to that of New Zealand and New Caledonia than to that of Australia.
The flora of the island is relatively untouched with a large number of rare plants, 44% being endemic to the island.
With a diversity of conditions ranging from valleys, to ridges, plains, and misty mountain tops, habitat is available for a wide range of plant communities, which have been comprehensively analysed and mapped.
Plant communities have been classified into nine categories: lowland subtropical rainforest, submontane rainforest, cloud-forest and scrub, lowland swamp forest, mangrove scrub and seagrass, coastal scrub and cliff vegetation, inland scrub and herbland, offshore island vegetation, shoreline and beach vegetation, and disturbed vegetation.
The palms are the signature plants of the island as the kentia and curly palms especially dominate the landscape in many places, the kentia being of special economic importance.
Natural hybrids between these species occur on the island and a mature specimen of one is growing in the island nursery.
No snakes nor highly venomous or stinging insects, animals, or plants occur, and no dangerous daytime sharks are found off the beaches, although tiger sharks have been reported on the cliff side of the island.
Eighteen species of land birds breed on the island and many more migratory species occur on the island and its adjacent islets, many tame enough that humans can get quite close.
The island has been identified by BirdLife International as an endemic bird area, and the Permanent Park Preserve as an important bird area, because it supports the entire population of Lord Howe woodhens, most of the breeding population of providence petrels, over 1% of the world population of another five seabird species, and the whole populations of three endemic subspecies.
From the Little Island Track between March and November, one of the world's rarest birds, the providence petrel, also performs courtship displays during winter breeding, and it is extremely tame.
The island was its only breeding location for many years after the breeding colony on Norfolk Island was exterminated in the late 19th century, though a small population persists on the adjacent Phillip Island.
The Kermadec petrel was discovered breeding on Mount Gower in 1914 by ornithologist Roy Bell while collecting specimens for Gregory Mathews and the black-winged petrel was only confirmed as a breeder in 1971; its numbers have increased following the elimination of feral cats from the island.
The flesh-footed shearwater, which breeds in large numbers on the main island in spring-autumn, once had its chicks harvested for food by the islanders.
The wedge-tailed and little shearwaters breed on the main island and surrounding islets, though only a small number of the latter species can be found on the main island.
Masked boobies are the largest seabirds breeding on Lord Howe and can be seen nesting and gliding along the sea cliffs at Mutton Bird Point all year round.
Sooty terns can be seen on the main island at Ned's and Middle Beaches, North Bay, and Blinkey Beach; the most numerous of the island's breeding seabirds, their eggs were formerly harvested for food.
Common and black noddies build nests in trees and bushes, while white terns lay their single eggs precariously in a slight depression on a tree branch, and grey ternlets lay their eggs in cliff hollows.
The iconic endemic rail, the flightless Lord Howe woodhen, is the only surviving member of its genus; its ancestors could fly, but with no predators and plenty of food on the island, this ability was lost.
This made it easy prey for islanders and feral animals, so by the 1970s, the population was less than 30 birds.
From 1978 to 1984, feral animals were removed and birds were raised in captivity to be successfully reintroduced to the wild.
The endemic Lord Howe long-eared bat is known only from a skull and is now presumed extinct, possibly the result of the introduction of ship rats.
Marine environments are near-pristine with a mixtures of temperate, subtropical, and tropical species derived from cool-temperate ocean currents in the winter and the warm East Australian Current, which flows from the Great Barrier Reef, in summer.
Various species of cetaceans inhabit or migrate through the waters in vicinity, but very little about their biology in the area is known due to lack of studies and sighting efforts caused from locational conditions.
Bottlenose dolphins are the most commonly observed and are the only species confirmed to be seasonal or yearly residents, while some other dolphin species have also been observed.
Humpback whales are the only of large whales showing slow but steady recoveries as their numbers annually migrating past the island of Lord Howe are much smaller than those migrating along Australian continent.
Historically, migratory whales such as blue, fin, and sei whales were very abundant in the island waters, but were severely reduced in numbers to near-extinction by commercial and illegal hunts, including the mass illegal hunts by the Soviet Union and Japan in the 1960s to 1970s.
Southern right and sperm whales were most severely hunted among these, hence the area was called the Middle Ground by whalers.
These two were likely once seasonal residents around the island, where right whales prefer sheltered, very shallow bays, while sperm whales mainly inhabit deep waters.
About 10% of Lord Howe Island's forests has been cleared for agriculture, and another 20% has been disturbed, mostly by domestic cattle and feral sheep, goats, and pigs.
As a result, 70% of the island remains relatively untouched, with a variety of plants and animals, many of which are endemic, and some of which are rare or threatened.
The Lord Howe Island Board instigated an extensive biological and environmental survey (published in 1974), which has guided the island conservation program.
Administration of the preserve was outlined in a management plan for the sustainable development of the island prepared by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, which has a ranger stationed on the island.
This consists of a state marine park managed by the Marine Parks Authority of New South Wales in the waters out to three nautical miles around the island and including Ball's Pyramid.
It also includes a Commonwealth Marine Park extending from 3 to 12 nautical miles out and managed by the federal Department of the Environment and Heritage.
Pigs and goats were released on the island as potential food in the early 1800s; the goats destroyed shrubs and grasses used as nesting sites and the pigs ate eggs and chicks and disturbed the land by rooting for food.
The first round of extinctions included the Lord Howe swamphen or white gallinule, white-throated pigeon, red-crowned parakeet, and Tasman booby, which were eliminated by visitors and settlers during the 19th century, either from overhunting for food or protection of crops.
This triggered a second wave of extinctions, including the vinous-tinted thrush, robust white-eye, Lord Howe starling, Lord Howe fantail and the Lord Howe gerygone as well as the destruction of the native phasmid and decimation of palm fruits.
The Lord Howe boobook may have become extinct through predation by, or competition with, the Tasmanian masked owls, which were introduced in the 1920s in a failed attempt to control the rat population.
Invasive plants such as Crofton weed and Formosa lily occur in inaccessible areas and probably cannot be eradicated, but others are currently being managed.
Introduced species that harmed Lord Howe's native flora and fauna, feral pigs, cats and goats were eradicated by the early 2000s.
In July 2012, the Australian federal Environment Minister Tony Burke and the New South Wales Environment Minister Robyn Parker announced that the Australian and NSW governments would each contribute 50% of the estimated A$9 million cost of implementing a rodent eradication plan for the island, using aerial deployment of poison baits.
Following the successful eradication of the rodents all woodhends and currawongs were released across the island in late 2019 and early 2020.
A recovery program has restored the Lord Howe woodhen numbers from only 20 in 1970 to about 200 in 2000, which is close to carrying capacity.
According to an analysis by Tim Flannery, the ecosystem of Lord Howe Island is threatened by climate change and global warming, with the reefs at risk from rises in water temperature.
The Lord Howe Islands Group was inscribed on the World Heritage List for its unique landforms and biota, its diverse and largely intact ecosystems, natural beauty, and habitats for threatened species.
Lord Howe Island and adjacent islets, Admiralty Islands, Mutton Bird Islands, Ball's Pyramid, and associated coral reefs and marine environs were added to the Australian National Heritage List on 21 May 2007, on the basis of the World Heritage List.
In September 2019 it was revealed that, in 2017, federal environment minister Josh Frydenberg overruled a recommendation from his department to install two wind turbines.
The project, which would have substantially reduced the Island's dependence on diesel-powered electricity generators, had been considered not to endanger the Island's heritage status and was supported by the Islanders.
They are periodic changes of atmospheric pressure, temperature and orthometric height in a current of air caused by vertical displacement, for example orographic lift when the wind blows over a mountain or mountain range.
They can also be caused by the surface wind blowing over an escarpment or plateau, or even by upper winds deflected over a thermal updraft or cloud street.
Usually a turbulent vortex, with its axis of rotation parallel to the mountain range, is generated around the first trough; this is called a rotor.
The strongest lee waves are produced when the lapse rate shows a stable layer above the obstruction, with an unstable layer above and below.
These wave fronts represent extrema in the perturbed pressure field (i.e., lines of lowest and highest pressure), while the areas between wave fronts represent extrema in the perturbed buoyancy field (i.e., areas most rapidly gaining or losing buoyancy).
Energy is transmitted along the wave fronts (parallel to air parcel oscillations), which is the direction of the wave group velocity.
Both lee waves and the rotor may be indicated by specific wave cloud formations if there is sufficient moisture in the atmosphere, and sufficient vertical displacement to cool the air to the dew point.
Wave clouds do not move downwind as clouds usually do, but remain fixed in position relative to the obstruction that forms them.
World record wave flight performances for speed, distance or altitude have been made in the lee of the Sierra Nevada, Alps, Patagonic Andes, and Southern Alps mountain ranges.
The Perlan Project is working to demonstrate the viability of climbing above the tropopause in an unpowered glider using lee waves, making the transition into stratospheric standing waves.
The Mountain Wave Project of the Organisation Scientifique et Technique du Vol à Voile focusses on analysis and classification of lee waves and associated rotors.
It can even be a hazard for large aircraft; the phenomenon is believed responsible for many aviation accidents and incidents, including the in-flight breakup of BOAC Flight 911, a Boeing 707, near Mt.
Fuji, Japan in 1966, and the in-flight separation of an engine on an Evergreen International Airlines Boeing 747 cargo jet near Anchorage, Alaska in 1993.
The rising air of the wave, which allows gliders to climb to great heights, can also result in high altitude upset in jet aircraft trying to maintain level cruising flight in lee waves.
Heinrich Wilhelm Schott (7 January 1794 in Brünn (Brno), Moravia – 5 March 1865 at Schönbrunn Palace, Vienna) was an Austrian botanist well known for his extensive work on aroids (Family Araceae).
He studied botany, agriculture and chemistry at the University of Vienna, where he was a pupil of Joseph Franz von Jacquin (1766–1839).
The Jefferson River and the Madison River form the official beginning of the Missouri at Missouri Headwaters State Park near Three Forks.
From broad valleys to a narrow canyon, the Jefferson River passes through a region of significant geological diversity, with some of the oldest and youngest rocks of North America and a diversity of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary formations.
The region was only intermittently inhabited by Native Americans until relatively recent times, and no single tribe had exclusive use of the Jefferson River when the Lewis and Clark Expedition first ascended the river in 1805.
Today, the Jefferson River retains much of its scenic beauty and wildlife diversity from the days of Lewis and Clark, yet is threatened by water use issues and encroaching development.
The longest begins at Brower's Spring, 9,030 feet (2,750 m) above sea level, on the northern flank of the Centennial Mountains.
The water flows west then north as Hell Roaring Creek before merging with Rock Creek and flowing west through Upper and Lower Red Rock Lakes.
Here it becomes the Red Rock River, flowing west through Lima Reservoir and then northwest into Clark Canyon Reservoir near Dillon.
It is joined by the Ruby River above the town of Twin Bridges and converges with the Big Hole River to form the Jefferson about two miles downstream from town.
The Jefferson River flows north through the Jefferson Valley towards Whitehall and then east, where it is joined by the Boulder River before passing through the narrow Jefferson River canyon near Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park.
The Jefferson converges with the Madison River at Missouri Headwaters State Park near Three Forks to form the Missouri River, joined a short distance downstream by the Gallatin River.
The geology of the Jefferson River and the surrounding mountain ranges includes some of the oldest rocks found in North America, dating back to the Archean Eon, 2.7 billion years ago.
Found primarily in the Tobacco Root and Ruby ranges, these ancient rocks are metamorphic, having been highly compressed and nearly re-melted by geologic forces over eons of time.
About a billion years ago, the Willow Creek Fault, north of the Jefferson River canyon, dropped down deeply and filled with seawater, stretching north to Alberta and British Columbia.
Eventually, the sea receded and erosion wore away intervening geologic history until about 530 million years ago, during the Cambrian Period of the Paleozoic Era.
A new sea encroached on the land, depositing sedimentary layers of limestone, dolomite, shale, and sandstone over several hundred million years.
By the Mississippian Period, 340 million years ago, much of western North America was covered with a warm, shallow sea, much like the Gulf Coast of Florida today.
Small marine fossils can be found in the Madison Group limestone that makes up the steep, narrow section of the Jefferson River canyon today.
Rainwater percolated down through cracks in the limestone, dissolving rock and creating caves such as those found at Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park.
The batholith is composed of at least seven, and possibly as many as fourteen, discrete igneous rock masses called plutons, which formed beneath the Earth’s surface during a period of magma intrusion about 73 to 78 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous.
The ancient metamorphic and more recent sedimentary layers above the batholiths eroded away as the magma pushed up through the crust.
Thus, the granite batholiths are typically found at the center of local mountain ranges, while the much older metamorphic gneiss is usually found lower in the mountains, and limestone layers are mostly found in the foothills nearest the Jefferson River.
The Rocky Mountains began a new and continuing phase of crustal stress 5 to 10 million years ago as tectonic forces began to pull the region apart.
Blocks of earth dropped down to form valleys, and the Jefferson River eroded a channel through rock to form the Jefferson River canyon.
Clovis points dated 12,000 to 13,000 years old have been found along the Missouri River near Townsend, Montana, about forty-five miles beyond the Jefferson.
Upstream from the Jefferson, at Barton Gulch, a tributary of the Ruby-Jefferson River system, archaeologists excavated an extensive complex of Paleo-Indian cooking pits and earth ovens dated to 9400 RCYBP.
The Salish and Pend d'Oreille migrated in from the north and northwest, venturing south to the Jefferson River/Missouri Headwaters and eastward.
With horses of Spanish origin, the Shoshone migrated into Montana from the Great Basin and hunted buffalo, becoming the dominant tribe in the area.
However, the arrival and expansion of European settlers on the east coast pushed Native Americans west, in a domino effect that extended all the way into Montana.
The Crow migrated into Montana from the east in the 1600s, followed by the Blackfeet, Gros Ventre, and Assiniboine in the 1700s.
By 1800, the Missouri headwaters and much of southwest Montana was a crossroads frequented by the Lemhi Shoshone, Bannock, Nez Perce, Flathead, Crow, Sioux, and Piegan Blackfeet.
Sacagawea, of the Lemhi Shoshone, was captured by the Hidatsa on the lower Jefferson River in 1800, when she was about twelve years old.
She was later married to Toussaint Charbonneau and both of them joined the Lewis and Clark Expedition when Lewis and Clark wintered with the Hidatsa in North Dakota in 1804-05.
The Missouri River flowed southeast from an unknown source, joining the Mississippi River before flowing south to the Gulf of Mexico.
The United States acquired the Missouri River watershed through the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, and President Thomas Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark with a company of men to explore up the Missouri in the hopes of finding a navigable water route to the Pacific, with a low portage connecting one watershed with the other.
The Expedition departed from Saint Louis, Missouri in the spring of 1804, ascended the Missouri River that summer, then wintered over with the Hidatsa Indians in North Dakota, where they met Toussaint Charbonneau and his Shoshone wife Sacagawea.
Of the three streams that make up the headwaters of the Missouri, the eastern fork is the smallest, while the larger middle and western forks are of relatively equal size.
The expedition rested a couple days at the Missouri headwaters, then began to ascend the Jefferson River, using ropes to pull the dugout canoes upstream against the current.
The valley though which our rout of this [day] lay and through which the river winds it's meandering course is a beatifull level plain with but little timber and that on the verge of the river.
the land is tolerably fertile, consisting of a black or dark yellow loam, and covered with grass from 9 Inches to 2 feet high.
The plain ascends gradually on either side of the river to the bases of two ranges of mountains which ly parallel to the river and which terminate 〈it's〉 the width of the vally.
Arriving at a major confluence, Lewis and Clark named the western fork the Wisdom River, the eastern fork the Philanthropy River and retained the middle fork as a continuation of the Jefferson River.
The Jefferson River is a segment of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, established by Congress in 1978 and administered by the National Park Service.
The Jefferson River is rated as Class I water for recreational purposes from its origin at the Beaverhead and Big Hole rivers to its confluence with the Missouri at Three Forks.
The upper Jefferson is a much-braided, meandering river and floodplain system that supports productive farm fields, extensive cottonwood groves, rich meadows, and abundant wildlife.
The river creates diverse habitats as it naturally shifts back and forth across the Jefferson Valley, forming oxbows and swamps of various depth and age.
The upper Jefferson extends from the confluence of the Big Hole and the Beaverhead rivers approximately 44 miles downstream to the community of Cardwell.
The middle Jefferson enters a narrow canyon a short distance downstream from Cardwell and is largely contained by the geography for most of the next 15 miles downstream to Sappington Bridge.
Lacking the ability to flood or meander, this section of the river has few trees, swamps, meadows, and significantly less wildlife than the upper Jefferson.
The lower Jefferson opens up again into a meandering, braided river from Sappington bridge approximately 24 miles downstream to its confluence with the Madison River.
Dams constructed upstream on the Ruby and Beaverhead rivers store surplus water from spring runoff which is released to augment natural flows during the summer irrigation season.
The unnaturally warm water, combined with excess nutrients from irrigation runoff and grazing practices, can stimulate rapid growth of algae in mid-summer, to the detriment of anglers and floaters.
The Ruby River was measured at 310 CFS, the Big Hole River was measured at 200 CFS and the Beaverhead River was measured at 630 CFS.
Irrigators took over 98% of this stream flow by forcing the river into irrigation channels using diversion dams, leaving less than 2% of water in the river.
While much of the Jefferson River remains untouched and scenic, it is threatened by new housing developments that incrementally fragment wildlife habitat and vistas along the river.
Efforts to stabilize portions of the riverbank with rock, concrete, and other rip-rap materials have inhibited the river's ability to flood, meander, and form new cottonwood groves and wildlife habitat.
The river's original headwaters, formed by the confluence of the Red Rock River and Horse Prairie Creek, are now flooded under Clark Canyon Reservoir, which also floods the first of the river.
With the Red Rock River included in its length, the river stretches another , for a total length of , one of the more significant drainages of south-western Montana.
In 1805, Captain Meriwether Lewis traveled up the Jefferson and Beaverhead first, but when the rest of the expedition came, a sign Lewis had left at the confluence of the Beaverhead and Big Hole telling them to follow the Beaverhead had been cut down by a beaver, and the expedition traveled up the Big Hole instead.
As a result, the swifter current of the Big Hole swamped two of their canoes before they could travel back down to the confluence.
Together with the Red Rock River, the Beaverhead forms the uppermost headwaters of the Missouri River, the longest tributary of the Mississippi River.
The river is a Class I water from the Clark Canyon Dam to its confluence with the Jefferson river for the purposes of public access for recreational purposes.
It won the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for best science fiction novel in 1982, as well as an Australian Science Fiction Achievement Award in 1983.
It is Hoban's best-known adult novel and a drastic departure from his other work, although he continued to explore some of the same themes in other settings.
Hoban began work on the novel in 1974, inspired by the medieval wall painting of the legend of Saint Eustace at Canterbury Cathedral.
Roughly two thousand years after a nuclear war has devastated civilization, Riddley, the young narrator, stumbles upon efforts to recreate a weapon of the ancient world.
Their level of civilization is similar to England's prehistoric Iron Age, although they do not produce their own iron but salvage it from ancient machinery.
Church and state have combined into one secretive institution, whose mythology, based on misinterpreted stories of the war and an old Catholic saint (Eustace), is enacted in puppet shows.
He served as Conservative leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1931 to 1932, after Conservative leader Camillien Houde lost the 1931 Quebec election and also failed to win a seat.
He was re-elected in the 1935 election as a Conservative, but in his unsuccessful election bid in 1936 he ran as an independent Conservative candidate and lost to Gilbert Layton of the Union Nationale, which had been formed from the merger of the now-defunct Conservative Party of Quebec and the short-lived Action libérale nationale.
Waterstones, formerly Waterstone's, is a British book retailer that operates 283 shops, mainly in the UK and also other nearby countries.
Established in 1982 by Tim Waterstone, after whom the company was named, the bookseller expanded rapidly until being sold in 1993 to WHSmith.
The company was taken under the umbrella of HMV Group, which later merged the Dillons and Ottakar's brands into the company.
In May 2011, it was announced that A&NN Capital Fund Management, owned by Russian billionaire Alexander Mamut, had bought the chain for £53.5m and appointed James Daunt as managing director.
The company is incorporated in England & Wales as Waterstones Booksellers Ltd, with its registered office at 203–206 Piccadilly, London (which is also the location of its flagship shop).
As well as the Waterstones brand, the company owns the London bookseller Hatchards, Irish shop Hodges Figgis, and reached an agreement to purchase Foyles in 2018.
The bookseller has concession agreements with Paperchase and previously with coffee chains Costa Coffee and Starbucks in some shops, but since 2012 has introduced its own Café W brand.
For a time, Waterstones sold eReaders, including in 2012 partnering with Amazon to sell the Amazon Kindle, but has since pulled out of this market for commercial reasons.
He set up his first shop in Old Brompton Road, Kensington with the ambition of creating a 'different breed of bookshop', using techniques he had seen in the United States.
In 1990 WHSmith took a strong minority stake in the chain, and ten years after its birth, by 1992, Waterstone's had grown to be the largest bookseller group in Europe.
WHSmith then acquired the company in 1993 at an enterprise value of £47m, paying £5.27 a share on 8.1m 10p shares, a 53x multiple for the early stage investors.
Under WHSmith, Waterstones pursued international expansion, opening its first US shop in Boston in 1991, as well as further domestic expansion – opening its 100th UK shop in a former chapel in Reading.
The chain was part of the eventual dismantling of the Net Book Agreement, when in 1991, following a promotion by then rivals Dillons, the company decided to pursue its own discounting promotion on selected titles.
Following an attempt by Tim Waterstone in 1997 to buy the entire WHSmith group, WHSmith sold the Waterstones chain for £300 million to HMV Media plc (now HMV Group) – a joint venture between EMI, Advent International and Tim Waterstone.
In 2003, Waterstones announced it was supporting Dyslexia Action as its chosen charity, helping to raise awareness and understanding for dyslexia.
In 2006 Giles stepped down from his position and was replaced by Gerry Johnson as managing director of Waterstones and Simon Fox as group CEO.
Following a consultation, the company's supply chain was overhauled in 2008 with the implementation of a warehouse and distribution centre in Burton-upon-Trent.
Existing direct-to-store deliveries from suppliers were replaced by a centralised warehouse capable of receiving merchandise and sorting an estimated 70 million books per year and 200 staff were made redundant by the process.
In September 2008, Waterstones began selling the Sony Reader in an agreement which saw the booksellers' branches and Sony Centre shops stock the reader exclusively for two weeks after its release.
In January 2010, HMV Group announced that Waterstones like-for-like sales over the Christmas period were down 8.5 per cent on the previous year.
He was replaced by development director Dominic Myers, who was managing director of the British academic bookselling chain Blackwells until 2005.
In response to the decline in sales, he implemented a three-year plan in which branches were tailored to their local market alongside a 'rejuvenation' of the company brand and an increase in range.
The company also moved to support the Rainbow Trust, which provides support to children with life-threatening and terminal illnesses and their families, in the same year.
After an announcement that profits would be at the lower end of analysts' forecasts due to falling sales and a share price fall of 20%, HMV Group indicated its intention to close a number of Waterstones branches in January 2011.
These shop closures, including two in Dublin, Republic of Ireland and nine others across the United Kingdom occurred in February 2011.
In May 2011 HMV Group announced the sale of Waterstones to A&NN Capital Fund Management, a fund controlled by Russian businessman Alexander Mamut for £53 million.
On 29 June 2011, the sale of Waterstones was completed and approved by the vast majority of shareholders at an emergency general meeting.
Mamut appointed James Daunt, founder of Daunt Books, as managing director and a Board of Directors was announced in October 2011 including Miranda Curtis as Chairman.
In January 2012, the company announced that it would be moving away from the branding developed in 2010 by agency VentureThree, and reverting to its original logo.
In the same month, Waterstones confirmed plans to open a Russian language bookshop in its Piccadilly branch, intending to stock 5000 titles with the shop being entirely staffed of Russian-speaking booksellers.
Following a decision in late-2011 to scrap an e-reading offer in-branch, it was announced in May 2012 that Waterstones would be selling the Amazon Kindle across its estate.
The Café W brand was trialled in the Sutton branch, with an expressed aim for around 130 shops over a 3-year period to be fitted with a café.
The accounts for the year to 2012 showed Waterstones, prior- and post-acquisition had made losses of £37.3 million Started in 2012 was an overhaul of the company's business strategy, with centralised decision making giving way to shop-based decisions and a renewed emphasis on traditional bookselling techniques.
Waterstones embarked on a major restructuring of staffing levels, with a company-wide consultation with 560 managerial staff to subsequently reduce roles within the company.
Waterstones launched a number of new partnerships through the year, including with the University of Derby to launch a professional qualification programme for its staff, with the Folio Society to extend customer reach and stock selection in London-based bookshops, and partnering with a new charity, BookTrust.
By the end of 2013, Waterstones had cut its losses to £12.2 million, opened 12 further Café W and embarked on a capital investment in its shop portfolio of £29.5 million.
In 2014, the opened new shops in Ringwood, Blackburn and Southwold, its first branch to be without Waterstones branding, as well as closing shops in Eastleigh and St Neots.
Continued business strategy change saw further departures from Head Office in brand communication and PR and a renewed agency contract for Waterstones’ digital marketing with Epiphany.
The retailer overhauled its business technology with new algorithms on its website to help personalise the online shopping experience, updated point-of-sale IT and by introducing contactless payment in its shops.
The retailer partnered with Airbnb to hold a one-off ‘sleepover’ for customers in its Piccadilly branch in October 2014 after a customer was accidentally trapped in the Trafalgar Square branch after closing.
This was followed, after a failed attempt to buy Blinkbox books from Tesco in January 2015, with Waterstones announcing it had sold its ebook business to Rakuten Kobo Inc. in May 2016, subsequently directing customers who had purchased eBooks through the retailer to access their ebooks via Kobo's eBook site.
The company partnered with Oxfam in 2015 to raise £1 million for those impacted by the Syrian civil war crisis through a nationwide campaign called ‘Buy Books for Syria’.
Further changes to shops were made in 2015, with the closure of Wimbledon and Birmingham New Street, the opening of The Rye Bookshop and a return to Welwyn Garden City.
The company reported an operating income of £5.4 million and a further narrowing of losses to £4.5 million from £18.8 million the previous year.
Shops in Oxford Street Plaza, Edinburgh George Street, and Reading Oracle were closed, Harpenden Books, Glasgow Fort, Tottenham Court Road were opened and Wimbledon and Watford were reopened in new sites.
Daunt made public his concern that the UK EU referendum was likely to impact on company sales due to an expected retail downturn following a ‘no’ vote.
He later noted that sales had remained ‘buoyant’ following the decision to leave the EU, but remained pessimistic for the future.
This included increased profits in Ireland, with sales rising 7% over the year, with the company expressing a desire to open more shops in Ireland.
The management board was reduced from 7 members to 3 in August 2016, with the departure of Miranda Curtis and a statement that the future composition was under review.
Waterstones announced it had raised £300,000 for BookTrust in 3 years since partnering, and would continue the partnership for a fourth year.
In April 2018, hedge fund Elliott Management Corporation bought a majority stake in the company, leaving Alexander Mamut's Lynwood Investments with a minority holding.
Acquired in 1995 by the Thorn EMI group, Dillons was the UK's second largest bookseller behind Waterstones and was the bookselling arm of EMI's retail division, which included HMV.
Following the demerger of Thorn and EMI in 1996, the retail arm was divested from the EMI portfolio within a year and spun off into the HMV Media Group, an investment venture between EMI Group and Advent International private equity group.
This venture included HMV, Dillons and Waterstones (the latter bought from WHSmith for £300 million), combining to make an international entertainment retailer of over 500 shops.
Following a rebuffed takeover attempt in 1997 of WHSmith, Tim Waterstone became part of the deal and by May 1998, following the £801 million deal completion became chairman of the group.
This alarmed publishers and authors who hoped the Office of Fair Trading would refer the takeover bid to the Competition Commission.
In July 2006, a conversion programme was initiated and within four months, every Ottakar's shop had been relaunched as a Waterstones and had seen the loss of 100 jobs.
The shops, in Fleet Street, London Wall, Holborn, Wandsworth, Uxbridge, Finchley Road, and Canary Wharf, were rebranded and merged into the Waterstones chain by September 2008.
Amazon has received sustained scrutiny for the amount of its overall sales that are reported by its UK subsidiary, in comparison to those 'processed offshore in Luxembourg to avoid UK tax'.
In the 2012–13 financial year, Amazon paid £3.2 million in tax on sales of £4.2 billion and received £2.5 million in grants from the government.
In the same period, it was revealed that Waterstones paid £11.9 million in tax, despite an operating loss of £25.4 million and sales of £410.4 million.
In the 2013–14 financial period, the first full year under A&NN, Waterstones reported sales to Companies House of £398.5 million and an operating loss of £12.2 million.
Commentators were split on the ethics of the decision to open unbranded shops, but it was noted that at no point had attempts been made to hide the connection to the retailer.
Waterstones maintains and supports various literary awards, including the Waterstones Children's Laureate, the Waterstones Children's Book Prize, The Waterstones Book of the Year, and the Pushkin House Russian Book Prize as well as now defunct awards including the Waterstones 11 and The Guardian First Book Award.
The prize, which has been running since 2012, sees booksellers from across the company select a shortlist of books from any category, published at any time, before the winner is chosen by panel.
Set up in 2011, the Waterstones 11 was created to promote debut literary fiction from new authors being published in the year ahead.
Books were chosen from a list of 100 submitted by publishers, and were announced in January 2011 with in-shop and online support, as well as a media campaign for the final 11.
Waterstones has academic and high street shops in Europe including the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland (with shops in Cork and Drogheda, and previously with shops in Dublin), and in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Its flagship shop on Piccadilly, formerly the Simpsons of Piccadilly department store and notable for its 1930s-Modernist architecture, is the largest shop in the Waterstones estate and claimed to be the largest bookshop in Europe.
The main academic branch, formerly the flagship shop of Dillons, is located on Gower Street, between University College London and the Student Central, and promoted as Europe's largest academic bookshop.
The Madison River is a headwater tributary of the Missouri River, approximately 183 miles (295 km) long, in Wyoming and Montana.
The Madison rises in Teton County in northwestern Wyoming at the confluence of the Firehole and Gibbon rivers, a location known as Madison Junction in Yellowstone National Park.
It flows west then north through the mountains of southwestern Montana to join the Jefferson and Gallatin rivers at Three Forks.
The central fork of the three, it was named for U.S. Secretary of State James Madison, who would succeed Thomas Jefferson as President in 1809.
It is classified as a blue ribbon fishery in Montana and is one of the most productive streams in Montana for brown trout, rainbow trout and mountain whitefish.
An autostereogram is a single-image stereogram (SIS), designed to create the visual illusion of a three-dimensional (3D) scene from a two-dimensional image.
In order to perceive 3D shapes in these autostereograms, one must overcome the normally automatic coordination between accommodation (focus) and horizontal vergence (angle of one's eyes).
The illusion is one of depth perception and involves stereopsis: depth perception arising from the different perspective each eye has of a three-dimensional scene, called binocular parallax.
A stereoscope presents 2D images of the same object from slightly different angles to the left eye and the right eye, allowing us to reconstruct the original object via binocular disparity.
When viewed with the proper vergence, an autostereogram does the same, the binocular disparity existing in adjacent parts of the repeating 2D patterns.
An image designed for wall-eyed viewing if viewed correctly will appear to pop out of the background, while if viewed cross-eyed it will instead appear as a cut-out behind the background and may be difficult to bring entirely into focus.
In 1838, the British scientist Charles Wheatstone published an explanation of stereopsis (binocular depth perception) arising from differences in the horizontal positions of images in the two eyes.
He supported his explanation by showing pictures with such horizontal differences, stereograms, separately to the left and right eyes through a stereoscope he invented based on mirrors.
Between 1849 and 1850, David Brewster, a Scottish scientist, improved the Wheatstone stereoscope by using lenses instead of mirrors, thus reducing the size of the device.
He noticed that staring at repeated patterns in wallpapers could trick the brain into matching pairs of them as coming from the same virtual object on a virtual plane behind the walls.
In 1939 Boris Kompaneysky published the first random dot stereogram containing an image of the face of Venus, intended to be viewed with a device.
In 1959, Bela Julesz, a vision scientist, psychologist and MacArthur Fellow, invented the random dot stereogram while working at Bell Laboratories on recognizing camouflaged objects from aerial pictures taken by spy planes.
At the time, many vision scientists still thought that depth perception occurred in the eye itself, whereas now it is known to be a complex neurological process.
Julesz used a computer to create a stereo pair of random-dot images which, when viewed under a stereoscope, caused the brain to see 3D shapes.
Japanese designer Masayuki Ito, following Julesz, created a single image stereogram in 1970 and Swiss painter Alfons Schilling created a handmade single-image stereogram in 1974, after creating more than one viewer and meeting with Julesz.
Having experience with stereo imaging in holography, lenticular photography, and vectography, he developed a random-dot method based on closely spaced vertical lines in parallax.
This type of autostereogram allows a person to see 3D shapes from a single 2D image without the aid of optical equipment.
Stereopsis, or stereo vision, is the visual blending of two similar but not identical images into one, with resulting visual perception of solidity and depth.
In the human brain, stereopsis results from complex mechanisms that form a three-dimensional impression by matching each point (or set of points) in one eye's view with the equivalent point (or set of points) in the other eye's view.
By looking at a horizontally repeating pattern, but converging the two eyes at a point behind the pattern, it is possible to trick the brain into matching one element of the pattern, as seen by the left eye, with another (similar looking) element, beside the first, as seen by the right eye.
With the typical wall-eyed viewing, this gives the illusion of a plane bearing the same pattern but located behind the real wall.
If, over some area of the picture, the pattern is repeated at smaller distances, that area will appear closer than the background plane.
If the distance of repeats is longer over some area, then that area will appear more distant (like a hole in the plane).
If the virtual 3D objects reconstructed by the autostereogram viewer's brain were real objects, a second viewer observing the scene from the side would see these objects floating in the air above the background image.
The 3D effects in the example autostereogram are created by repeating the tiger rider icons every 140 pixels on the background plane, the shark rider icons every 130 pixels on the second plane, and the tiger icons every 120 pixels on the highest plane.
The brain is capable of almost instantly matching hundreds of patterns repeated at different intervals in order to recreate correct depth information for each pattern.
Yet, despite the apparent chaotic arrangement of patterns, the brain is able to place every tiger icon at its proper depth.
Autostereograms where patterns in a particular row are repeated horizontally with the same spacing can be read either cross-eyed or wall-eyed.
In such autostereograms, both types of reading will produce similar depth interpretation, with the exception that the cross-eyed reading reverses the depth (images that once popped out are now pushed in).
Starting with a background plane where icons are spaced at 140 pixels, one can raise a particular icon by shifting it a certain number of pixels to the left.
For instance, the middle plane is created by shifting an icon 10 pixels to the left, effectively creating a spacing consisting of 130 pixels.
A depth map is simply a grayscale image which represents the distance between a pixel and its left counterpart using a grayscale value between black and white.
Using this convention, a grayscale depth map for the example autostereogram can be created with black, gray and white representing shifts of 0 pixels, 10 pixels and 20 pixels, respectively as shown in the greyscale example autostereogram.
Conceptually, at every pixel in the output image, the program looks up the grayscale value of the equivalent pixel in the depth map image, and uses this value to determine the amount of horizontal shift required for the pixel.
One way to accomplish this is to make the program scan every line in the output image pixel-by-pixel from left to right.
It uses this repeat interval to look up the color of the counterpart pixel to the left and uses its color as the new pixel's own color.
Unlike the simple depth planes created by simple wallpaper autostereograms, subtle changes in spacing specified by the depth map can create the illusion of smooth gradients in distance.
In practice, the total number of depth planes is determined by the number of pixels used for the width of the pattern image.
The fine-tuned gradient requires a pattern image more complex than standard repeating-pattern wallpaper, so typically a pattern consisting of repeated random dots is used.
Smooth gradients can also be achieved with an intelligible pattern, assuming that the pattern is complex enough and does not have big, horizontal, monotonic patches.
A big area painted with monotonic color without change in hue and brightness does not lend itself to pixel shifting, as the result of the horizontal shift is identical to the original patch.
The following depth map of a shark with smooth gradient produces a perfectly readable autostereogram, even though the 2D image contains small monotonic areas; the brain is able to recognize these small gaps and fill in the blanks (illusory contours).
While intelligible, repeated patterns are used instead of random dots, this type of autostereogram is still known by many as a Random Dot Autostereogram, because it is created using the same process.
When a series of autostereograms are shown one after another, in the same way moving pictures are shown, the brain perceives an animated autostereogram.
If all autostereograms in the animation are produced using the same background pattern, it is often possible to see faint outlines of parts of the moving 3D object in the 2D autostereogram image without wall-eyed viewing; the constantly shifting pixels of the moving object can be clearly distinguished from the static background plane.
When a regular repeating pattern is viewed on a CRT monitor as if it were a wallpaper autostereogram, it is usually possible to see depth ripples.
These are caused by the sideways shifts in the image due to small changes in the deflection sensitivity (linearity) of the line scan, which then become interpreted as depth.
This effect is especially apparent at the left hand edge of the screen where the scan speed is still settling after the flyback phase.
While some people may quickly see the 3D image in an autostereogram with little effort, others must learn to train their eyes to decouple eye convergence from lens focusing.
Because autostereograms are constructed based on stereo vision, persons with a variety of visual impairments, even those affecting only one eye, are unable to see the three-dimensional images.
Children with poor or dysfunctional eyesight during a critical period in childhood may grow up stereoblind, as their brains are not stimulated by stereo images during the critical period.
If such a vision problem is not corrected in early childhood, the damage becomes permanent and the adult will never be able to see autostereograms.
Binocular vision allows the brain to create a single Cyclopean image and to attach a depth level to each point in it.
The depth level of each point in the combined image can be represented by a grayscale pixel on a 2D image, for the benefit of the reader.
Thus, the way the brain perceives depth using binocular vision can be captured by a depth map (Cyclopean image) painted based on coordinate shift.
As with any camera except pinhole cameras, it needs to focus light rays entering through the iris (aperture in a camera) so that they focus on a single point on the retina in order to produce a sharp image.
It is the convergence angle that gives the brain the absolute reference depth value for the point of convergence from which absolute depths of all other objects can be inferred.
That is, when looking at a faraway object, the brain automatically flattens the lenses and rotates the two eyeballs for wall-eyed viewing.
This decoupling has no useful purpose in everyday life, because it prevents the brain from interpreting objects in a coherent manner.
To see a man-made picture such as an autostereogram where patterns are repeated horizontally, however, decoupling of focusing from convergence is crucial.
By focusing the lenses on a nearby autostereogram where patterns are repeated and by converging the eyeballs at a distant point behind the autostereogram image, one can trick the brain into seeing 3D images.
If the patterns received by the two eyes are similar enough, the brain will consider these two patterns a match and treat them as coming from the same imaginary object.
Because the two eyeballs converge on a plane farther away, the perceived location of the imaginary object is behind the autostereogram.
When the autostereogram is correctly interpreted by the brain using wall-eyed viewing, and one stares at the dolphin in the middle of the visual field, the brain should see two sets of flickering lines, as a result of binocular rivalry.
The leftmost pattern and the rightmost pattern by themselves have no partner, but the brain tries to assimilate these two patterns onto the established depth plane of adjacent dolphins despite binocular rivalry.
As a result, there are seven apparent dolphins, with the leftmost and the rightmost ones appearing with a slight flicker, not dissimilar to the two sets of flickering lines observed when one stares at the 4th apparent dolphin.
Because of foreshortening, the difference in convergence needed to see repeated patterns on different planes causes the brain to attribute different sizes to patterns with identical 2D sizes.
In the autostereogram of three rows of cubes, while all cubes have the same physical 2D dimensions, the ones on the top row appear bigger, because they are perceived as farther away than the cubes on the second and third rows.
If one has two eyes, fairly healthy eyesight, and no neurological conditions which prevent the perception of depth, then one is capable of learning to see the images within autostereograms.
As with a photographic camera, it is easier to make the eye focus on an object when there is intense ambient light.
Thus it may help to concentrate on converging/diverging the two eyes to shift images that reach the two eyes, instead of trying to see a clear, focused image.
Eventually the brain will successfully match a pair of patterns reported by the two eyes and lock onto this particular degree of convergence.
Once this is done, the images around the matched patterns quickly become clear as the brain matches additional patterns using roughly the same degree of convergence.
When one moves one's attention from one depth plane to another (for instance, from the top row of the chessboard to the bottom row), the two eyes need to adjust their convergence to match the new repeating interval of patterns.
If the level of change in convergence is too high during this shift, sometimes the brain can lose the hard-earned decoupling between focusing and convergence.
For a first-time viewer, therefore, it may be easier to see the autostereogram, if the two eyes rehearse the convergence exercise on an autostereogram where the depth of patterns across a particular row remains constant.
In a random dot autostereogram, the 3D image is usually shown in the middle of the autostereogram against a background depth plane (see the shark autostereogram).
It may help to establish proper convergence first by staring at either the top or the bottom of the autostereogram, where patterns are usually repeated at a constant interval.
Once the brain locks onto the background depth plane, it has a reference convergence degree from which it can then match patterns at different depth levels in the middle of the image.
One way to help the brain concentrate on divergence instead of focusing is to hold the picture in front of the face, with the nose touching the picture.
If one slowly pulls back the picture away from the face, while refraining from focusing or rotating eyes, at some point the brain will lock onto a pair of patterns when the distance between them matches the current convergence degree of the two eyeballs.
Another way is to stare at an object behind the picture in an attempt to establish proper divergence, while keeping part of the eyesight fixed on the picture to convince the brain to focus on the picture.
A modified method has the viewer focus on their reflection on a reflective surface of the picture, which the brain perceives as being located twice as far away as the picture itself.
The viewer may hold one finger between their eyes and move it slowly towards the picture, maintaining focus on the finger at all times, until they are correctly focused on the spot that will allow them to view the illusion.
Stereoblindness, however, is not known to permit the usages of any of these techniques, especially for persons in whom it may be, or is, permanent.
The Bloomsbury Theatre is a theatre on Gordon Street, Bloomsbury, in the London Borough of Camden, owned by University College London.
The Theatre has a seating capacity of 547 and offers a professional programme of innovative music, drama, comedy and dance all year round.
Funded by a UGC grant and a considerable private donation, the theatre was opened in 1968 as the Collegiate Theatre, and was renamed the Bloomsbury Theatre in 1982.
Between 2001 and 2008, the theatre was known as The UCL Bloomsbury, to emphasise links with UCL, who use it for student productions 12 weeks a year.
The Bloomsbury Theatre recently returned to the logo designed by cartoonist Gerald Scarfe which it had used for nearly twenty years until 2001.
The theatre building also provides access to the UCL Union Fitness Centre and Clubs and Societies Centre on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors.
Amongst the many other artists who have performed at the theatre are; UCL alumnus Ricky Gervais has performed two of his standup shows in the theatre, where they were also filmed for release on DVD and was the venue for Crusader Norman Housley come-back lecture series: Contesting the Crusades, which he developed into a popular history book.
The immediate area was sparsely populated until a naval base was constructed during World War II, though Garelochhead was already a thriving village served by Clyde steamers and a railway station.
The Tennen Rishin ryu is a traditional swordsmanship school, codified during the Kansei Era (1789–1801) by Kondō Kuranosuke Nagahiro (or Nagamichi).
There is limited information in regards to him: he came from Tōtōmi Province (today's western Shizuoka Prefecture), but we do not know when he was born.
Even though he would have most likely been appointed as a teacher of this style, he left the Shintō-ryū aiming to create a new sword based combat system.
In fact, during those years the Japanese swordsmanship gradually evolved from the rigid katageiko (form practice performed with either bokutō or with dull-edged swords called habiki) towards a free practice called shinaigeiko (also known as gekiken).
This kind of training allowed two practitioners to spar without the risk of severe injury thanks to bamboo swords (shinai) and armors protecting the head (men), the arm (kote), and the torso (dō).
Kuranosuke organized all his martial arts knowledge into a new system of teaching and transmission; for this reason, even if codified during the Edo period, Tennen Rishin Ryū could be listed among new schools called shin ryūha.
He created his own school by synthesizing an actual sword fight every occasion, sticking to a fencing style whose last goal was to obtain full victory without losing composure in front of an enemy.
While he was establishing a dōjō in Yagenbori he most likely went to teach in the Sagami area (today's Kanagawa Prefecture) and Tama area (western part of Tōkyō).
Since Tama was the birthplace of 2nd generation (Kondō Sansuke), 3rd generation (Kondō Shūsuke) and 4th generation (Kondō Isami) headmasters, there is little doubt that this actually happened.
The Shinsengumi ceased to exist after the 2nd year of Meiji (1869), with the end of the Boshin War and the collapse of Bakufu.
It is commonly believed that the Boshin War marked the end of Tennen Rishin Ryū since Kondō Isami was sentenced to death and beheaded in Itabashi, Okita Sōji died of tuberculosis, and both Inoue Genzaburō and Hijikata Toshizō died in battle (the first one at Toba-fushimi and the latter in the battle of Goryōkaku).
The boy was supposed to marry Tama, Kondō's daughter (born in 1862) from a wedding with Matsui Tsune once the girl reached the age to be wed.
Even though he did not probably receive any teaching from Kondō, Yūgorō was already practicing Tennen Rishin Ryū with his real father.
Miyagwa Otogorō was a pupil of Tennen Rishin Ryū as well, since he joined the school together with his younger brother Katsugorō (the latter Kondō Isami).
He probably studied with Harada Kamezō (son of Harada Chūji, a disciple of Kondō Shūsuke), despite another theory claiming that he was to become a pupil of Matsuzaki Watagorō (eldest son of Matsuzaki Shōsaku, student of the nidaime Sansuke).
The bloodline of Kondō Isamu ceased to exist when Hisatarō died in the Russo-Japanese war of 1905 at the age of twenty-two.
Kondō Yūgorō eventually divorced from his new wife because she had a bad relationship with Matsui Tsune, the wife of Kondō Isamu and mother of Yūgorō’s wife Tama.
At the beginning of Shōwa period he was interviewed by Shimozawa Kan (1892–1968), a writer whose Shinsengumi related books would go to inspire an entire literature genre in regards to the swordsmen corps.
The best disciple of Kondō Yūgorō, Sakurai Kinpachi, inherited the title of 6th generation headmaster when his teacher was still alive.
Afterwards, the Kondō line was left without guidance for several years until a new pupil, named Katō Isuke (student of Yūgorō and Shinkichi), returned from the war to claim the position of headmaster.
L. M. Kit Carson died in his sleep of pneumonia on October 20, 2014 in his native Dallas, Texas, aged 73.
Star Trek is the code name that was given to a secret prototype project, running a port of Mac OS 7 and its applications on Intel-compatible x86 personal computers.
The project, starting in February 1992, was conceived in collaboration between Apple Computer, who provided the majority of engineers, and Novell, who at the time was one of the leaders of cross-platform file-servers.
The plan was that Novell would market the resulting OS as a challenge to Microsoft Windows, but the project was discontinued in 1993 and never released, although components were reused in other projects.
The impetus for the creation of the Star Trek project began out of Novell's desire to increase its competition against the monopoly of Microsoft and its DOS-based Windows products.
Novell's first idea to extend its desktop presence with a graphical computing environment was to adapt Digital Research's GEM desktop environment, but Novell's legal department rejected this due to apprehension of a possible legal response from Apple, so the company went directly to Apple.
With shared concerns in the anti-competitive marketplace, Intel's CEO Andy Grove supported the two companies in launching their joint project Star Trek on February 14, 1992 (Valentine's Day).
Apple set a deadline of October 31, 1992 (Halloween Day), promising the engineering team members a performance bonus of a large cash award and a vacation in Cancun, Mexico.
Achieving their deadline goal and receiving their bonuses, the developers eventually reached a point where they could boot an Intel 486 PC (with very specific hardware) into System 7.1, and its on-screen appearance was indistinguishable from a Mac.
However, the project was canceled in mid-1993 because of political infighting, personnel issues, and the questionable marketability of such a project.
Apple's side of the project had seen the exit of a supportive CEO, John Sculley, in favor of a new CEO, Michael Spindler.
Spindler was not interested in the project, instead reallocating most software engineering resources toward the company's total migration to the competing PowerPC architecture.
Star Trek was designed as a hybrid of Apple's Macintosh operating system, made to run as an operating system GUI shell application upon Novell's next in-development version of the DR DOS operating system.
It was designed so that a user could think of it as a standalone application platform and general computing environment, in a concept similar to Microsoft's competing Windows 3.1x, running on top of DOS.
This was a radical and tedious departure both technologically and culturally, because at that time, Mac OS had only ever officially run on Apple's own computers, which were all based on the Motorola 68000 architecture.
For maximum speed at minimum resource footprint, the DR DOS BIOS, BDOS kernel, device drivers, memory managers and the multitasker were written in pure x86 assembly language.
Apple's port of System 7.1 would run on top of this high-performance yet light-weight hybrid 32-bit/16-bit protected mode multitasking environment as a graphical system and shell in user space.
Though the joint effort had been canceled, Novell published the long-awaited DR DOS 7.0 as Novell DOS 7 (BDOS 7.2) in 1994.
Instead, TASKMGR provides a text mode interface to the underlying multitasker in EMM386, but the system also provides an API to allow third-party GUIs to take control.
Microsoft Windows, ViewMAX 2 and 3, and PC/GEOS / NewDeal are known to utilize this interface, when run on Novell DOS 7 (or its successors OpenDOS 7.01 or DR-DOS 7.02 and higher), and Star Trek would have been yet another one.
Apple reused some of the platform abstraction technology developed for Star Trek, incorporating it into the concurrently developedand which some consider competingmigration to the PowerPC architecture.
This abstraction technology includes the capability of loading the Mac OS ROM data from a file instead of from a ROM chip.
Apple's first and quickly aborted concept of porting its flagship operating system to Intel systems was in 1985, following the exit of Steve Jobs.
It was also accomplished in the form of the Macintosh Application Environment (MAE), which was the functional equivalent of Star Trek plus an embedded 68k emulator (as was the case with System 7 for Power Macintosh), running as an application for Solaris and HP/UX.
Although a direct x86 port of the classic Mac OS was never released to the public, determined users could make Apple's retail OS run upon non-Mac computers through emulation.
The development of these emulation environments was said to have been inspired by the initiative shown in the Star Trek project.
Two of the more popular 68k Macintosh emulators are vMac and Basilisk II, and a PowerPC Macintosh emulator is SheepShaver; each are written by third parties.
Ten years after Project Star Trek, it became possible to natively run Darwin, the Unix-based core of Mac OS X, on the x86 platform by virtue of its NeXTstep foundation.
It was not included with Darwin, which depended on other window managers running on X11 for graphical interfaces, and thus most commercial Mac OS applications cannot run natively on Darwin alone.
This project was to retain OPENSTEP's x86 port, keeping Mac OS X and all supporting applications (including iLife and Xcode) running on the x86 architecture as well as that of the PowerPC.
Marklar was publicly revealed by Apple's CEO Steve Jobs in June 2005 when he announced the Macintosh transition to Intel processors starting in 2006.
Comparing and contrasting with Apple's efforts, IBM had long since attempted a different strategy to provide the same essential goal of innovating a new software platform upon commodity hardware, while nondestructively preserving existing legacy installations of MS-DOS heritage.
However, its strategy was based upon its OS/2 operating system, which had long since achieved seamless backward compatibility with MS-DOS applications.
In 1992, roughly coinciding with the timeframe of the Star Trek project, IBM devised a new and fundamentally integral subsystem for backward compatibility with Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.1 applications.
Although conceived through different legacy business requirements and cultures, Win-OS/2 was designed with similar software engineering objectives and virtualization techniques as was Star Trek.
Apple and IBM have attempted several proprietary cross-platform collaborations, including the unreleased port of QuickTime to OS/2, the significant traction of the OpenDoc software framework, the AIM alliance, Kaleida Labs, and Taligent.
A corporation formerly known as ARDI developed a product called Executor, which can run a compatible selection of 68k Macintosh applications, and is hosted upon either the DOS or Linux operating systems on an Intel CPU.
Executor is a cleanroom reimplementation of the Macintosh Toolbox and versions 6 and 7 of the operating system, and an integrated 68k CPU emulator called Syn68k.
Liken from Andataco, for Sun and HP workstations, emulates the Macintosh hardware environment including the 68k CPU, upon which the user must install System 6.0.7.
Quorum Software Systems made two apps targeting UNIX workstations: Equal provides binary compatibility by emulating the Mac APIs and 68k CPU, to put each precertified Mac app into its own X window, on Sun and SGI workstations; Latitude provides a source code porting layer with a Display Postscript driver.
In 2015, he pleaded guilty to a bribery scheme and was sentenced to 2 to 6 years in prison plus a $500,000 forfeiture.
Hussam Muhammad Bilal Abdo (Arabic: حسام محمد بلال عبده; born 24 February 1990) is a Palestinian from the Masahiya area of Nablus, who, as a teenager, made international headlines on 24 March 2004, when he entered the Hawara Checkpoint in the West Bank, with eight kilos (18 lbs) of explosives strapped to his body as part of a suicide attack attempt.
Abdo, then reportedly aged 16, approached the checkpoint running towards the soldiers, wearing 8 Kilograms (18 lbs) of explosives on a vest with the activation switch in his hands.
When the Israeli soldiers noticed something suspicious about the boy, they directed their weapons at him and he became startled and raised his arms without detonating the belt.
After all the people were ordered to safety, a specialized Bomb disposal robot was sent to him with a pair of scissors, so that he could cut off the explosives, all the while telling soldiers that he did not want to die.
He was then searched for more bombs but none were found and the bomb taken from Abdo's vest was later exploded at a safe area.
Media reported that Abdo said he was offered 100 NIS and promised sex with the promised virgins and Israeli security forces added that in the inquiry it was found that Abdo was unpopular among his fellow students and that his friends would mock him.
Fatah's military wing of Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades from the Balata refugee camp in Nablus took responsibility for the sending of the boy.
In July 2004, the BBC was allowed an interview with Abdo in an Israeli jail in which he detailed the trail of mission.
Abdo was then taken to Wael, a 21-year-old member of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades who took him to a third militant who put the bomb belt on the boy and both took pictures of him.
Abdo described his feelings towards the people who sent him as 'normal' and noted that one of them is also in prison and that they are friends.
When asked about the reasons for the attack, Abdo stated it was because his friend was killed and also because he desired to be relieved of school.
Abdo's uncle Khalil said that if he found out who sent his nephew out as a suicide bomber, he'd gladly kill the dispatcher himself.
Husam was interviewed by Pierre Rehov for making of his documentary Suicide Killers where Rehov studies the psychopathology behind Muslim terrorism, and why some Muslim parents are willing to offer their children as martyrs.
According to Shafiq Masalha, a clinical psychologist who teaches at Tel Aviv University's education program, 15% of Palestinian children dream of becoming suicide bombers.
As a result, he has been featured sporadically in Claremont scripted comic books at both Marvel and DC Comics as a sympathetic journalist over the years.
The Kai Islands (also Kei Islands) of Indonesia are a group of islands in the southeastern part of the Maluku Islands, located in the province of Maluku.
The Moluccas have been known as the Spice Islands due to regionally specific plants such as nutmeg, mace, and cloves that originally intrigued the European nations of the 16th century.
A second influx of Austronesian immigrants began in the early 20th century under the Dutch and continued in the Indonesian era.
Though geographically in the Kai Islands, the city of Tual forms a regency-level administration and is not in the Southeast Maluku Regency.
The Kai Islands are a part of the Wallacea, the group of Indonesian islands that are separated by deep water from both the Asian and Australian continental shelves, and were never linked to either continent.
As a result, the Kai Islands have few native mammals and are a part of the Banda Sea Islands moist deciduous forests ecoregion.
The indigenous inhabitants call the islands Nuhu Evav (Evav Islands) or Tanat Evav (Evav Land), but they are known as Kai to people from neighboring islands.
The islands are on the edge of the Banda Sea, south of the Bird's Head Peninsula of New Guinea, west of the Aru Islands, and northeast of the Tanimbar Islands.
The Kai Islands' total land area is and had a population of 154,524 at the 2010 Census; the latest official estimate (as at January 2014) was 172,126.
The Kai Islands reside in a topical zone in close proximity to the equator, leading to an average temperature of , and an average low of .
Local history holds that ancestors of contemporary Kai islanders came from Bali, part of the expanding Majapahit kingdom from the western archipelago.
The village of Ohoi-Ewur (first Raja Ewab: Raja Ohoi-Ewur = Raja Tabtut) on Kai Kecil or Nuhuroa island was the arrival point for the Balinese royal family and their army.
Evidence for these stories include an inheritance and a harbor named 'Bal Sorbay' (Bali Surabaya) on Kai Kecil which is, presumably, the harbor at which the royals arrived.
It is recognized by Kai islanders that some of their ancestors came from other places such as Sumbawa island (Sumbau), Buton (Vutun) in Sulawesi, Seram (Seran) and Gorom (Ngoran) islands in the Central Moluccas, and the sultanates of Jailolo (Dalo) and Ternate (Ternat) as well.
The tiny island of Tanimbarkei is not part of Tanimbar, as the name might suggest, but is one of the Kai Islands.
After the 1999 clashes between the Muslim and Christian populations in Ambon, similar inter-communal clashes swept through Kai but quickly calmed down.
All of the islands depend on 22 ratshcaap, or traditional local leaders called Rat or Raja, as kings of customary law.
Three Austronesian languages are spoken on the Kai Islands; Keiese is the most widely spoken, in 207 villages on Kai Kecil, Kai Besar, and surrounding islands.
Bandanese is spoken in the villages of Banda-Eli (Wadan El) and Banda-Elat (Wadan Elat) on the west and northeastern side of Kai Besar.
The predominant religion in the Kai Islands is Christianity, where unlike like much of the surrounding area there are more Catholics than Protestants.
A primary minority in the region consists of non-native Muslims, who generally follow a milder form of Islam where the women are rarely veiled.
Half of the people who live on the small island of Tanimbarkei practice a variant of the Hindu religion, which involves a form of ancestor worship.
Their story of creation is an earth-diver myth that involves sending a dog down to the earth, who brings up his sandy paws.
While fishing one day, Parpara, the youngest of the brothers, lost a fish-hook which he had borrowed from Hian, his oldest brother.
After much fruitless search, the Parpara met a fish who asked him what his trouble was, and who, on learning the facts, promised to aid in the search.
The object proved to be the long-lost hook, which the friendly fish delivered to Parpara, who thus was able to restore it to its owner.Parpara, however, determined to have his revenge upon his brother, and so he secretly fastened a bamboo vessel full of palm liquor above Hian's bed in such a way that when the latter rose, he would be almost certain to upset it.
Sliding down the rope, the three brothers and one of the sisters, together with their four dogs, safely reached the world which lay below, and which was thus discovered for the first time.
As the second sister was descending, however, one of the brothers chanced to look up, at which his sister was so ashamed that she shook the rope and was hauled up by the other sky-people.
In this way the three brothers with their sister were the first occupants of the world and became the ancestors of the human race.
Meiti Kei is an annual natural phenomenon occurring for a few weeks, and celebrated with a festival between October 22 and 23, where the ocean recedes up to 6 km, allowing for one to walk to other islands normally separated by water.
After graduating in 1982, he went on to perform onstage across Canada, from Ottawa's National Arts Centre to Edmonton's Citadel Theatre and the Stratford Festival.
By the late 1980s, he had established himself as a seasoned veteran of Canadian theatre—a long way from Lucky Larry, his first role.
His character was stabbed at the end of season 3 and in the first episode of the fourth season it was revealed he had died.
He now lives in Fairfield, California, but commutes to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he works for the Nevada State Education Association.
He moved to San Francisco in 1993, where he became involved in local politics through an advocacy group for homeless people called Mission Agenda.
Daly is married to Sarah Low Daly, whom he met at the World Youth Festival in Havana, Cuba; they have two children.
He sponsored legislation to help low-income tenants of Single Room Occupancy (SRO) residential hotels, many of whom were located in his district.
Daly also received unanimous support for a plan to demolish and rebuild an apartment complex at Trinity Plaza in exchange for 590 affordable units.
This was the first time in California history that a housing developer voluntarily allowed new construction to be covered by rent control.
Critics of Daly's housing policies point to his attempt to ban tenancy-in-common apartment conversions, which they believe allow middle-income people to buy property in San Francisco.
In June 2006, Daly sponsored the Eviction Disclosure Ordinance, which required real estate agents to inform buyers whether a tenant was evicted from a property they wish to purchase.
In March 2007, Daly, chairman of the Budget and Finance Committee, introduced a proposal that would appropriate $28 million for affordable housing.
Eight members of the Board of Supervisors passed the affordable housing measure, but Mayor Gavin Newsom refused to spend the money.
He said that he wanted to spend time with his family and that his wife was due to give birth shortly before the mayoral election.
Daly suggested putting a charter amendment before voters in the November 2007 municipal election calling for elimination of the police chief post.
In June 2007, Daly announced that he was working with anti-war activist organizations such as Code Pink, Global Exchange and Veterans for Peace and considering introducing a proposal to ban the Blue Angels from flying during San Francisco's Fleet Week.
On June 15, 2007, Board President Aaron Peskin removed Daly as chairman of the Budget and Finance Committee shortly before it was to finalize the $6.06 billion budget proposed by Mayor Gavin Newsom.
Daly, along with Aaron Peskin, was instrumental in the canceling of the San Francisco Grand Prix, a world-class bicycle race held from 2001 to 2005, because of disagreements over the amount to be paid for traffic and crowd control and because the race's backers owed the city $89,924.
In 2001 Mayor Willie Brown, who supported the race, allowed its organizers to incur a $350,000 debt and later ordered city officials to forgive that debt.
The race, which was organized as a 1.HC event and in 2005 was part of the UCI America Tour attracted hundreds of thousands of spectators as well as world-class athletes such as seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, and was regarded as one of the country's most challenging, particularly for its famously difficult 18% grade Fillmore and Taylor street climbs.
A 2005 study commissioned by the San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau found the Labor Day weekend race generated $10.2 million for city businesses that year.
Daly's resolution was covered extensively by the local media and elevated the issues of treatment of protests in relation to the Olympics being held in China, the 2008 Summer Olympics torch relay and the torch ceremonies being held in San Francisco, the only North American stop.
The torch relay will be the first time in Olympics history that protests will accompany the torch as it passes through a U.S. city.
On October 22, 2003, during his one-day shift as Acting Mayor, while Mayor Willie Brown traveled to Tibet, Daly appointed two members to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission without Brown's consent, having consulted with the City Attorney who had advised him that as acting mayor he had the legal authority to make appointments in Mayor Brown's absence.
Nonetheless, the City Attorney stood behind its legal opinion and environmentalist and former Sierra Club president Adam Werbach was later sworn in.
The second appointee, architect Robin Chiang, was rescinded because Brown had already made one appointment, Andrew Lee, son of one of Brown's fund-raiser Julie Lee, who was convicted of mail fraud and witness tampering on July 12, 2008.
The custom of assigning the acting mayor position to supervisors on a round-robin basis was discontinued as a result of Daly's appointments.
In 2002, Daly was arrested after a confrontation with police over a land use dispute concerning Hastings Law School, and reportedly told the arresting officer that he would have him fired; no charges were filed.
On June 19, 2007, during a Board of Supervisors meeting, Daly suggested that Mayor Gavin Newsom uses cocaine and is a hypocrite for proposing public health cuts for substance abuse treatment for the poor.
Normally at Board of Supervisors hearings, speakers have 2–3 minutes to speak, but time is limited by the discretion of the chair often to shorter periods of time, especially if there are a large number of speakers.
This was the second time the item had been heard in committee, and Chris Daly chose to limit public comment to one minute, so that another item regarding black flight from the City could be heard at that same hearing.
On April 21, 2009, at a Democratic Party fundraising lunch, members of the Building and Construction Trades Council called on Party Chairman Aaron Peskin and Daly to resign over their support for the voter-approved Historic Preservation Commission.
He stated that although it would be impossible for Lennar (the project's Miami-based developer) to meet this expanded affordability requirement, that nevertheless shouldn't be a concern.
A galaxy is named after him, Malin 1, which he discovered in 1986 and which is the largest spiral galaxy so far discovered.
In 1975 he moved to Sydney to take up a job with the Anglo-Australian Observatory (AAO), now the Australian Astronomical Observatory.
Whilst working at the AAO, Malin developed several photographic processing techniques to maximise the ability to extract faint and low contrast detail from the non-linear response and high densities of photographic plates.
These techniques were initially devised to enhance the scientific return from photography, but Malin is now best known for the series of three-colour wide field images of deep space objects which have been widely published as posters and in books around the world.
During his career at the AAO, Malin made about 150 three-colour images of deep sky objects, mostly using plates taken with the Anglo-Australian Telescope and the UK Schmidt Telescope.
Each photographic plate is a special black and white emulsion designed for low light conditions and is further enhanced for low light sensitivity by baking in a nitrogen and hydrogen atmosphere.
The colour image is re-assembled in the darkroom, where further techniques such as unsharp masking to enhance fine detail might also be applied.
In 1986 he discovered Malin 1, a giant spiral galaxy located away in the constellation Coma Berenices, near the North Galactic Pole.
Since the early 1990s, silver-based astrophotography has been largely superseded by digital sensors, but many of the technical advances Malin introduced to the field have been carried over to processing astrophotography on computers.
In 2001 he retired from the AAO to concentrate on his own business, David Malin Images, which manages his image collection along with those of related photographers.
He is best known for his appearances with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as Hugh Morrus and World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (WWF/E) under his real name.
He was most recently the head trainer for WWE's developmental system NXT until his resignation in 2015 following allegations of misconduct, which he denied.
Generally used as a jobber to the stars in WCW, he attained championship success during the promotion's dying days in late 2000 and early 2001, holding the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship twice.
Under this name he found some success, first capturing the AWF Heavyweight title from Steve Strong in Puerto Rico, before moving on to the Japanese promotion W*ING and winning their World Tag Team Championship with Mr. Pogo.
When DeMott returned to the United States, he wrestled for Extreme Championship Wrestling for a short time under his Crash the Terminator name.
On February 21, 1994 DeMott received a tryout match with the World Wrestling Federation at a Monday Night Raw taping at Poughkeepsie, NY.
Crash's final ECW appearance came on May 13, 1994, in a TV victory against AJ Powers, which aired on June 7.
In 1995, DeMott was signed to a World Championship Wrestling (WCW) contract at the behest of Kevin Sullivan who had been impressed by him.
He debuted in dark matches as The Man of Question and The Laughing Man, a strange gimmick that saw him wearing a singlet covered in question marks and laughing frequently.
Although the Family found success and received a push following a victory over their rivals The Revolution, the stable was suddenly disbanded.
He returned in early 2000, utilizing the same name and ring attire, but squashing a number of wrestlers as an angrier version of himself.
The angry Morrus gimmick came to a halt when Vince Russo and Eric Bischoff took over and aimed to take WCW in a new direction.
After getting on Russo's bad side (in kayfabe), Morrus was fired from his New Blood stable along with a number of other wrestlers.
These ex-New Blood members (including Chavo Guerrero, Jr. and Booker T) formed the comedic Misfits In Action stable, which saw its members adopt both military-themed names and attires.
As the stable's leader, Morrus re-christened himself General Hugh G. Rection, and led the group in a feud against The Filthy Animals.
Upon the introduction of the heel Team Canada, the Misfits In Action immediately began feuding with Team Canada, based over the patriotism both stables had for their respective countries.
Following the title loss, the Misfits disbanded when Rection announced that they were honorably discharged, which led to Rection reverting to his Hugh Morrus name while the now former Misfits briefly feuded amongst each other.
DeMott would then resume his pursuit of the United States Heavyweight Title until the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) bought out WCW.
When WCW was purchased by the WWF, DeMott signed a deal with the WWF and became part of The Invasion angle under his Hugh Morrus ring name as a member of The Alliance.
In the September 29 episode of WWE Metal, Morrus made his first appearance at the show, where he takes on Billy Gunn, in a losing effort.
When The Invasion ended at Survivor Series following Team Alliance's loss to Team WWF, Morrus was kayfabe fired by Vince McMahon.
During his time in the HWA, he teamed with Raven to defeat Lance Cade and Steve Bradley to win the Tag Team Champions on March 12, 2002, which they lost only three days later.
DeMott also worked as a booker for DSW, although his direction in the promotion received criticism, most notably by former WWE developmental wrestler Kenny Omega, who soon requested to be released from his developmental contract due to poor treatment.
DeMott was released from his WWE contract on January 19, 2007, with Tom Prichard taking his place as DSW's head trainer.
In March 2015, Devon Nicholson described an incident from 2006 that DeMott was involved with while he was head trainer for the WWE's Deep South Wrestling developmental territory.
Nicholson described an incident where Drew Hankinson was completely naked in the ring for a long period of time and gave naked stinkfaces to Zack Ryder and Melissa Coates while DeMott held jelly donuts over their faces.
The wrestlers agreed to do this (with the other talent encouraging them) to get out of regular training for that day.
DeMott refuted the notion that it was his idea, stating that the other trainees came up with because they wanted to skip the session.
After parting ways with WWE, DeMott competed for several independent promotions, including the Carolina Wrestling Association and the United Wrestling Federation.
In addition to wrestling, he also began operating his own wrestling school called New Energy Wrestling School from 2009 to 2010 in McDonough, Georgia, while also running a brief series of wrestling events in Locust Grove, Georgia.
After FCW was rebranded into NXT, DeMott retained his position as the head trainer, and continued in that role when the WWE Performance Center was opened in 2013.
DeMott resigned from the company on March 6, 2015 following widespread accusations of misconduct and abuse by a number of ex-trainees (see below), allegations which DeMott denied.
Several former FCW, DSW, and NXT employees previously working within or with the WWE developmental system made public allegations of misconduct by DeMott during his time as trainer, including accusing DeMott of making trainees perform dangerous drills, physically assaulting and bullying trainees, using homophobic and racial slurs amongst other derogatory terms, letting trainees train while naked, and condoning sexual harassment.
These allegations were made by Kevin Matthews, Mike Bucci and Devon Nicholson in 2012, Chad Baxter and Chase Donovan in 2013, Curt Hawkins in 2014, as well as several wrestlers including Judas Devlin, Briley Pierce, Brandon Traven, Derrick Bateman and independent wrestler Terra Calaway from late February to March 2015.
Devlin and Traven claimed to have submitted complaints to WWE management about DeMott in March 2013 when they were still employed with WWE, but only publicized the complaints in 2015.
WWE released statements regarding some of the claims that came to light in 2013 and 2015, claiming that investigations were done and no wrongdoing was found.
Pierce questioned the thoroughness of the investigations, stating that WWE did not question him despite him allegedly being one of the claimed victims.
They had two daughters: Casey, who was born two months premature on July 7, 1993, and Keri, who was born on January 9, 1995 and died in a car accident in Orlando, Florida on October 10, 2015.
Brahms intended the work to be more than simply a set of theme and variations; each variation also has the characteristic of a study.
During Reagan's two terms in office, he served as White House Chief of Staff (1988–1989), as well as both the Assistant and the Deputy Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs (1981–83).
Duberstein is said to be the first Jewish-American appointed as White House Chief of Staff (although Hamilton Jordan's maternal grandmother was Jewish).
He returned to the private sector between his various White House assignments as Vice President of lobbying firm Timmons & Company.
His earlier government service included Deputy Under Secretary of Labor during the Ford Administration and Director of Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs at the U.S. General Services Administration.
Among the boards of directors on which Duberstein serves are: The Boeing Company, ConocoPhillips, the Fleming Companies, Inc., and The St. Paul Companies, Inc.
He also is on the Board of Governors for the American Stock Exchange and NASD, and has served on the Board of Directors of Fannie Mae.
He is chairman of the Ethics Committee for the U.S. Olympic Committee and served as vice chairman of the independent Special Bid Oversight Reform Commission for the U.S. Olympics Committee.
In an interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria aired November 2, 2008, Duberstein announced his support of Democratic candidate Barack Obama for president.
This came after he was rebuffed by Sen. John McCain, the GOP nominee, for the position of director of his presidential transition, according to ABC News.
The Tanimbar Islands, also called Timur Laut, are a group of about 65 islands in the Maluku province of Indonesia, including Fordata, Larat, Maru, Molu, Nuswotar, Selaru, Selu, Seira, Wotap, Wuliaru and Yamdena.
The Regency covers a land area of 4,465.79 sq.km, and it had a population of 105,341 at the 2010 Census; the latest official estimate (as of January 2014) was 117,341.
The population was 105, 341 at the 2010 Census, of whom about 94% are Christian, and the remainder Muslim or other.
The tiny island of Tanimbarkei is not part of Tanimbar, but of the Kai Islands and inhabited by less than 1000 very traditional people.
During World War II the Dutch sent a detachment of thirteen men to the town of Saumlaki in the Tanimbar Islands in July 1942.
On 31 July an Australian contingent arriving at the jetty at Saumlaki in order to support the Dutch garrison - and unaware that the town had fallen to the Japanese - was fired on from the shore, and the commander on board was killed.
Recently, the Japanese oil and gas corporation, Inpex intended to develop the Masela Block Project with billions of tonnes of natural gas produced.
He negotiated the Oslo Accords with Israel and remained chief negotiator from 1995 until May 2003, when he resigned in protest from the Palestinian government.
He completed his Ph.D. in peace and conflict studies at Bradford University, a public, plate glass university in England (in 1983).
In 1991, Erekat was deputy head of the Palestinian delegation to the Madrid Conference and the subsequent follow-up talks in Washington between 1992 and 1993.
In 1994, he was appointed the Minister for Local Government for the Palestinian National Authority and also the Chairman of the Palestinian negotiation delegation.
Erekat was also, along with Arafat and Faisal Husseini, one of the three high-ranking Palestinians who asked Ariel Sharon not to visit the Al-Aqsa Mosque in September 2000, an event which Palestinians claim sparked off the Second Intifada.
When Mahmoud Abbas was nominated to serve as Prime Minister of the Palestinian Legislative Council in early 2003, Erekat was slated to be Minister of Negotiations in the new cabinet, but he soon resigned after he was excluded from a delegation to meet Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
Erekat was later reappointed to his post and participated in the 2007 Annapolis Conference, where he took over from Ahmed Qurei during an impasse and helped hammer out a joint declaration.
After the incident was over, however, and the Palestinian death toll was recorded at actually be between 53 and 56 casualties, mostly combatants, Erekat faced strong criticism in the US.
It was recorded from late 2002 to early 2003 and released on 1 April 2003 by record labels Virgin and Hut.
The album title's about carrying the ghosts of your relationships with you, to the point where sometimes a smell or a situation or an item of clothing they bought brings a person back.
In a way writing the songs helps me to get a lot of the nasty feelings off my chest and put them in a box, and therefore have a bit more of an objective discourse with those emotions because you've done something positive with them, you've rid yourself of them.
A Special Edition version of the album was released on 22 September 2003 worldwide, featuring a diverse selection of cover versions that the band had recorded in previous years.
Colonel Samuel Richard Tickell (19 August 1811 – 20 April 1875) was a British army officer, artist, linguist and ornithologist in India and Burma.
He was educated in England with a training at Addiscombe from 1827–29, returning at age nineteen to join the Bengal Native Infantry in 1829.
He returned to Bengal in 1843, and after his promotion to Captain in 1847 he was moved to Arakan, lower Burma.
He applied to serve as revenue surveyor in Bhagalpur in 1848 but found himself without experience and let his assistants work on surveys while he carried out administrative duties.
During his time in India, Tickell made important contributions to the country's ornithology and mammalology, with field observations and the collections of specimens.
The work showcased his excellent artistic abilities, including paintings of birds in natural habitats as well as ink vignettes showing scenes from Indian life.
The Scottish Senior Citizens Unity Party (SSCUP) - later the All-Scotland Pensioners Party - was formed on 3 February 2003, in time to contest that year's elections to the Scottish Parliament.
Swinburne was inspired to form the party after reading the UK government's plans for pensions in December 2002: he felt it was unfair that people might have to work longer in the future and consequently have less time to enjoy their retirement.
The SSCUP made an electoral pact with this party for the Scottish Parliamentary elections, whereby they did not stand candidates against each other.
Former Scottish international footballers Billy McNeill, who played for Celtic and Eric Caldow, who played for Rangers, both stood for the SSCUP in these elections.
In the 2007 Scottish Election the SSCUP lost its only seat in Holyrood, despite polling as the sixth best party and a slight increase in its vote share.
Black Isle ceased to exist once more, without having produced any new games, when Interplay sold off all of its video game assets and intellectual property in 2016.
Originally conceived as an MMO set in the world of Fallout, the project suffered a significant setback when Interplay lost all rights to use the Fallout brand.
As part of their efforts to restart the project anew, Interplay revived Black Isle Studios with two of its original team members and began a crowdfunding campaign to fund a prototype in 2012.
The campaign did not raise sufficient funds to develop a playable prototype, and communications from Interplay and Black Isle about the project had ceased completely by early 2014.
In 1846, in order to marry the adopted son of the Okita family, Okita Rintarō (1826–1883), his oldest sister Okita Mitsu became an adopted daughter of Kondo Shusuke in name.
By that time, Kondo Shusuke had already adopted Shimazaki Katsuta (the later Kondō Isami), but Hijikata Toshizō had not yet enrolled at the Tennen Rishin-ryū school.
Even though he was often commented to be honest, polite, and good-natured by those around him, he was also known to be a strict and quick-tempered teacher to his students.
Okita changed his name to Okita Sōji Fujiwara no Kaneyoshi some time before his departure with the Rōshigumi to Kyoto in March 26, 1863.
Okita and several other founding members remained behind in Mibu to form the Mibu Rōshigumi, which would later be renamed as the Shinsengumi in August 18, 1863.
He was one of the members involved in the Serizawa Kamo (one of the original commanders of the Shinsengumi) and the Uchiyama Hikojiro assassinations in 1863.
It is a popular conception by the public that his tuberculosis was first discovered when he fainted during the Ikedaya incident, mostly due to the depiction appearing in a famous work chronicling the Shinsengumi as well as a number of period dramas based upon it.
However, one should note that people rarely survived the disease longer than a year once it progressed to the point that they would collapse, and Okita did not die until four years after the affair.
While many of Shinsengumi fans believe that Yoshida Toshimaro was killed by Okita during the Ikedaya Affair (based on Shimosawa Kan and Shiba Ryōtarō's fiction), it is a historical inaccuracy.
There is no record showing that Hijikata and Okita were close; it is debatable whether Okita even got along with Hijikata.
In 1865, Okita became the captain of the first unit of the Shinsengumi and also served as a kenjutsu instructor; later that year, he was appointed by Kondo Isami to be the fifth master of the Tennen Rishin-ryu after him.
During the Boshin War, after the Battle of Toba–Fushimi in the first month of the year Keiō-4, Okita went into Matsumoto Ryōjun's hospital in Edo.
The claim that Okita died when he was 25 is based on the theory that he was born in 1844 and therefore was 25 by East Asian age reckoning when he died in 1868.
Due to the newfound interest in the Shinsengumi and Okita thanks to the drama itself, many visitors flocked to the temple to see his grave, resulting in the temple's cemetery to become restricted to the public, except for one day each year in June.
Like the other members of the Shinsengumi, fictionalized accounts of Okita's life and actions appear in novels, period dramas and anime/manga series.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) is the European Community Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) which, together with the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, became European Law in February 2003.
The RoHS Directive set restrictions upon European manufacturers as to the material content of new electronic equipment placed on the market.
The symbol adopted by the European Council to represent waste electrical and electronic equipment comprises a crossed-out wheelie bin with or without a single black line underneath the symbol.
The directive has undergone a number of minor revisions since its inception in 2002 (Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003).
After nine years the Directive was seen as failing to achieve some of its goals, hence the legislation had been amended again.
On 20 December 2011 the European Parliament and the European Council agreed on amendments to the Directive, subject to a second-reading vote, which was taken on 19 January 2012.
To provide a transitional period of seven years to introduce the revised method of calculation, the present method is retained for the first four years from the time the amended Directive comes into force.
For the next three years, commencing with the fifth year after the amendment, the calculation of collection rates will be revised to 45% of the weight of E&E products entering the market.
Once this seven years transitional period is over, EU member states will individually select the actual collection options they wish to use.
The directive imposes the responsibility for the disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment on the manufacturers or distributors of such equipment.
The WEEE Directive obliged the then twenty-five EU member states to transpose its provisions into national law by 13 August 2004.
On 13 August 2005, one year after the deadline, all member states except for the UK had transposed at least framework regulations.
Historic WEEE implies equipment placed on the market prior to 2005 and the WEEE directive places the onus upon the owner of the equipment to make provisions for its recycling.
Where equipment was placed on the market after 2005, it is known as non-historic WEEE (denoted by a bar underneath the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol), and it is the responsibility of the producer/distributor to make provisions for its collection and recycling.
Prior to the implementation of the WEEE directive in the UK, waste electronic and electrical equipment was disposed of in the household (municipal) waste stream.
Hazardous wastes are derived (issued with a universal EU descriptor) from the European Waste Catalogue (known in the UK as the List of Wastes), which denotes wastes with a six digit number in three sets of two.
WEEE that is delivered to household waste recycling centres (HWRC), also known as designated collection facilities (DCFs), is collected by or delivered to approved authorised treatment facilities (AATFs).
Post re-processing (recycling), total volumes of each category are reported to the producer compliance scheme and the reprocessor is reimbursed accordingly.
Totals of obligated WEEE for all AATFs are collated by the environment agency on a quarterly basis and reported to the EU.
This arose where obligated WEEE was partially treated by the first AATF to receive the waste, prior to it being passed onto a second AATF for further treatment.
The management of WEEE is applied via the waste hierarchy, with particular emphasis upon reduction of waste arising, re-use of equipment and recycling (recovery) of materials: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
65, by Dmitri Shostakovich was written in the summer of 1943, and first performed on November 4 of that year by the USSR Symphony Orchestra under Yevgeny Mravinsky, to whom the work is dedicated.
The symphony does not appear on concert programs very often, yet many recent scholars have ranked it among the composer’s finest scores.
The recapitulation sees a dissonant version of the fate motif displaced by a cor anglais solo which meanders towards a restatement of the second subject.
The movement begins with a passage for solo bassoon, and ends quietly with both pizzicato and sustaining strings; for some additional color, a solo flute joins in for the last note of the motive, at the very bottom of its range.
The pizzicato material is an inverted version of the symphony's opening fate motif, and is connected by Haas to a similar passage for soprano voice in the fifth movement of Mahler's Second.
The weight of the first and final movements of the symphony is centered on simultaneous crescendos of the snare and bass drums, while trumpets call to the pinnacle which is overlaid by woodwind trills.
A second interval is used as a motif throughout the symphony: C–B–C in the opening motif of the first movement, D–C–D in the theme of the second movement, E–F–E in the third movement (here separated by an octave), and C–D–C in the last movement.
The symphony is scored for a large orchestra which consists of 4 flutes (3rd and 4th doubling piccolos), 2 oboes, cor anglais, 2 B-flat clarinets, E-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, 3 bassoons (3rd doubling contrabassoon), 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, bass drum, tambourine, cymbals, snare drum, triangle, xylophone, tamtam, and strings.
I am sure that it will give rise to valuable critical observations which will both inspire me to future creative work and provide insights enabling me to review that which I have created in the past.
The bleak tone, and in particular the lack of an optimistic conclusion, made it unsuitable as propaganda at home or abroad.
The symphony was criticised by Prokofiev and others at a Composers' Plenum in March 1944, and after the Zhdanov decree of 1948 it was effectively banned until eight years later.
It was introduced to the western hemisphere during World War II by CBS correspondent Bill Downs, who returned from the Moscow bureau to the United States with the score.
Largely a single-issue party, its formation was prompted by those involved in the fishing industry angry at cuts in the quantity of fish they were being allowed to catch as a result of the European Union Single Fisheries Policy.
The rationale behind its formation was that they were in the best position to represent the fishing industry as they were part of it themselves.
The party was led by George Geddes, formerly vice chairman of the Scottish White Fish Producers' Association, with the aim of securing seats in the Scottish Parliament.
The party was supported by Albert McQuarrie, the former Conservative Member of Parliament for Banff and Buchan, but he refused to stand as a candidate on the grounds of age.
There was speculation that this might result in the loss of votes for the Scottish National Party, as traditionally it has won the majority of the votes of those involved in the Scottish fishing industry.
The party was deregistered as a political party with the Electoral Commission on 23 March 2004 and is understood to be defunct.
A column of marching troops is enfiladed if fired on from the front or rear such that the projectiles travel the length of the column.
The advantages of enfilading missiles have been appreciated since antiquity, whether in pitched battles such as the Battle of Taginae or in fortifications designed to provide the defenders with opportunities to enfilade attacking forces.
Although sophisticated archery tactics grew rare in Western Europe during the Early Middle Ages, enfilade fire was reemphasized by the late medieval English using ranked archers combined with dismounted knights, first employed at the Battle of Dupplin Moor in 1332 and used to devastating effect against the French in the Hundred Years War.
The benefit of enfilading an enemy formation is that, by firing along the long axis, it becomes easier to hit targets within that formation.
Enfilade fire takes advantage of the fact that it is usually easier to aim laterally (traversing the weapon) than to correctly estimate the range to avoid shooting too long or short.
Additionally, both indirect and direct fire projectiles that might miss an intended target are more likely to hit another valuable target within the formation if firing along the long axis.
When planning field and other fortifications, it became common for mutually supporting positions to be arranged so that it became impossible to attack any one position without exposing oneself to enfilading fire from the others, this being found for example in the mutually supporting bastions of star forts, and the caponiers of later fortifications.
Fire is delivered so that the long axis of the target coincides or nearly coincides with the long axis of the beaten zone.
Defilade is also used to refer to a position on the reverse slope of a hill or within a depression in level or rolling terrain.
Ideally, this dead space should be covered by the interlocking fields of fire of other nearby positions, and/or by pre-planned indirect fire such as mortars or other forms of artillery.
In the case of antitank weapons, and especially short-range man-portable antitank rockets, defiladed positions behind a hill have several important advantages.
This is because the dead space created by the intervening crest of the hill prevents an approaching tank from using the range of its direct-fire weapons, and neither the attacker nor defender will have a clear shot until the tank is within range of the defending antitank weapon.
In such engagements the tank is usually at a further disadvantage because the defender will often be camouflaged while the attacking tank will be silhouetted against the sky, giving the defender an easier shot.
In addition, if the tank fails to detect the defending antitank weapon while the tank is still defiladed, but advances beyond that position to the crest of the hill, it may expose the relatively thinner armor of its lower hull or belly to the defender.
Artificial entrenchments can provide defilade by allowing troops to seek shelter behind a raised berm that increases the effective height of the ground, within an excavation that allows the troops to shelter below the surface of the ground or a combination of the two.
A unit sited in defilade threatens an enemy that decides to pass it and move forward, because the enemy would be put in an enfiladed position when moving in a rank.
The friendly unit would be in a position that is shielded by terrain from direct enemy fire, while still being able to fire on the enemy in an effective manner.
The song was recorded in a different key than the final recording; it was sped up at the request of McCartney to make his voice sound younger.
The song is sung by a young man to his lover, and is about his plans of their growing old together.
It was in the Beatles' setlist in their early days as a song to perform when their amplifiers broke down or the electricity went off.
There were multiple overdub sessions, including the lead vocal by McCartney on 8 December and backing vocals by McCartney, Lennon, and George Harrison on 20 December.
Recorded in C major, the master take was sped up to raise the key by one semitone at the insistence of McCartney.
He has said he became a rock and roll fan when disc jockey Alan Freed moved to the city in 1954.
After attending a public school in New York City, he left New York for four years to attend Dartmouth College, graduating in 1962 with a B.A.
While at college his musical interests turned to jazz, but he quickly returned to rock after moving back to New York.
The fact is that pop writers in general shy away from such arcana as key signature and beats to the measure ...
As of 2007, he was also an adjunct professor in the Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music at New York University.
The website was created after the September 11, 2001 attacks when Hull was stuck in New York while visiting from his native Wichita.
Although he no longer oversaw the poll, Christgau continued to vote and, since the 2015 poll, also contributed essays to the results.
Only his top ten count toward his vote in the poll, but his full lists of favorites usually numbered far more than that.
The following are Christgau's choices for the number-one album of the year, including the point score he assigned for the poll.
Pazz & Jop's rules provided that each item in a top ten could be allotted between 5 and 30 points, with all ten items totaling 100, allowing critics to weight certain albums more heavily if they chose to do so.
In some years, Christgau often gave an equal number of points to his first- and second-ranked albums, but they were nevertheless ranked as first and second, not as a tie for first; this list collects only his number-one picks.
Lately, Christgau has grown arrogant and humorless—the raves are reserved for jazz artists, while even the best rock is treated condescendingly unless it conforms to Christgau's passion for leftist politics (particularly feminism) and bohemian culture.
While he is far too shrewd to let his dislike for apolitical or middle-class performers affect his A plus to E minus rating of them, the tone of the writing is now snotty—it lacks compassion, not to mention empathy, with current rock.
Christgau has named Louis Armstrong, Thelonious Monk, Chuck Berry, the Beatles, and the New York Dolls as his top five artists of all time.
Christgau readily admits to having prejudices and generally disliking genres such as heavy metal, salsa, dance, art rock, progressive rock, bluegrass, gospel, Irish folk, jazz fusion, and classical music.
But if you mean to ask whether I think some rock critics are better than others, you're damn straight I do.
Christgau married fellow critic and writer Carola Dibbell in 1974; they have an adopted daughter, Nina, born in Honduras in 1986.
Christgau has been long, albeit argumentative, friends with critics such as Dave Marsh, Greil Marcus, and the late Ellen Willis, whom he dated from 1966 to 1969.
Clonidine, sold as the brand name Catapres among others, is a medication used to treat high blood pressure, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, drug withdrawal (alcohol, opioids, or smoking), menopausal flushing, diarrhea, and certain pain conditions.
Clonidine is used to treat high blood pressure, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), drug withdrawal (alcohol, opioids, or smoking), menopausal flushing, diarrhea, and certain pain conditions.
Clonidine may improve symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in some people but causes many adverse effects and the beneficial effect is modest.
While not as effective as methylphenidate in treating ADHD, clonidine does offer some benefit; it can also be useful in combination with stimulant medications.
Some studies show clonidine more sedating than guanfacine, which may be better at bed time along with an arousing stimulant at morning.
Clonidine may be used to ease drug withdrawal symptoms associated with abruptly stopping the long-term use of opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines and nicotine (smoking).
It can alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms by reducing the sympathetic nervous system response such as tachycardia and hypertension, as well as reducing sweating, hot and cold flashes, and general restlessness.
Clonidine may also reduce severity of neonatal abstinence syndrome in infants born to mothers that are using certain drugs, particularly opioids.
Clonidine also has several off-label uses, and has been prescribed to treat psychiatric disorders including stress, sleep disorders, and hyperarousal caused by post-traumatic stress disorder, borderline personality disorder, and other anxiety disorders.
Clonidine has also been used to treat refractory diarrhea associated with irritable bowel syndrome, fecal incontinence, diabetes, diarrhea associated with opioid withdrawal, intestinal failure, neuroendocrine tumors and cholera.
Injection into the knee joint space of α receptor agonists, including clonidine, may reduces the severity of knee pain after arthroscopic knee surgery.
The reduction in circulating norepinephrine by clonidine was used in the past as an investigatory test for phaeochromocytoma, which is a catecholamine-synthesizing tumour, usually found in the adrenal medulla.
In a clonidine suppression test plasma catecholamine levels are measured before and 3 hours after a 0.3 mg oral test dose has been given to the patient.
Clonidine is classed by the FDA as pregnancy category C. It is classified by the TGA of Australia as pregnancy category B3, which means that it has shown some detrimental effects on fetal development in animal studies, although the relevance of this to human beings is unknown.
Clonidine appears in high concentration in breast milk and nursing infants have approximately 2/3 of serum clonidine concentrations as the mother.
Clonidine suppresses sympathetic outflow resulting in lower blood pressure, but sudden discontinuation can cause rebound hypertension due to a rebound in sympathetic outflow.
Clonidine treats high blood pressure by stimulating α receptors in the brain stem, which decreases peripheral vascular resistance, lowering blood pressure.
This binding has a sympatholytic effect, suppresses release of norepinephrine, ATP, renin, and neuropeptide Y which if released would increase vascular resistance.
Clonidine also acts as an agonist at imidazoline-1 (I) receptors in the brain, and it is hypothesized that this effect may contribute to reducing blood pressure by reducing signaling in the sympathetic nervous system, but this effect acts upstream of the central α agonist effect of clonidine.
In the setting of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), clonidine's molecular mechanism of action occurs due to its agonism at the alpha-2A adrenergic receptor, the subtype of the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor that is most principally found in the brain.
The alpha-2A adrenergic receptors are found on the presynaptic cleft of a given neuron, and, when activated by an agonist, the effect on downstream neurons is inhibitory.
Thus, clonidine's agonism on alpha-2A adrenergic receptors in the PFC inhibits the action of downstream neurons by preventing the secretion of norepinephrine.
This mechanism is similar to the brain's physiological inhibition of PFC neurons by the locus ceruleus (LC), which secretes norepinephrine into the PFC.
Although norepinephrine can also bind to target adrenergic receptors on the downstream neuron (otherwise inducing a stimulatory effect), norepinephrine also binds to alpha-2A adrenergic receptors (akin to clonidine's mechanism of action), inhibiting the release of norepinephrine by that neuron and inducing an inhibitory effect.
Because the PFC is required for working memory and attention, it is thought that clonidine's inhibition of PFC neurons helps to eliminate irrelevant attention (and subsequent behaviors), improving the person's focus and correcting deficits in attention.
After being ingested, clonidine is absorbed into the blood stream rapidly and nearly completely, with peak concentrations in human plasma occurring within 60–90 minutes.
Clonidine is fairly lipid soluble with the logarithm of its partition coefficient (log P) equal to 1.6; to compare, the optimal log P to allow a drug that is active in the human central nervous system to penetrate the blood brain barrier is 2.0.
Less than half of the absorbed portion of an orally administered dose will be metabolized by the liver into inactive metabolites, with roughly the other half being excreted unchanged by the kidneys.
The half-life of clonidine varies widely, with estimates between 6 and 23 hours, and is greatly affected by and prolonged in the setting of poor kidney function.
As of June 2017 clonidine was marketed under many brand names worldwide: Arkamin, Aruclonin, Atensina, Catapin, Catapres, Catapresan, Catapressan, Chianda, Chlofazoline, Chlophazolin, Clonid-Ophtal, Clonidin, Clonidina, Clonidinã, Clonidine, Clonidine hydrochloride, Clonidinhydrochlorid, Clonidini, Clonidinum, Clonigen, Clonistada, Clonnirit, Clophelinum, Dixarit, Duraclon, Edolglau, Haemiton, Hypodine, Hypolax, Iporel, Isoglaucon, Jenloga, Kapvay, Klofelino, Kochaniin, Melzin, Menograine, Normopresan, Paracefan, Pinsanidine, Run Rui, and Winpress.
It was marketed as a combination drug with chlortalidone as Arkamin-H, Bemplas, Catapres-DIU, and Clorpres, and in combination with bendroflumethiazide as Pertenso.
Bangor is located 28 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the Sutherland Shire in the area commonly called Menai.
The name 'Bangor' was selected in 1895 by the land's owner, a farmer named Owen Jones, after his birthplace Bangor in Wales.
Bangor is a mostly residential suburb with a small shopping centre which consists of Bangor Community Pharmacy, Bangor Newsagency, Bangor Post Office, Bangor Bakery, Manson Property, Friendly Grocer supermarket, Peter's Bangor Chinese, Thai Max, ABC School Wear, Bangor Dry Cleaners, Bangor Butchers and Doug Frost Swim School.
Transdev NSW buses (routes 961 and 962) connect Bangor to Menai, Illawong, Alfords Point, Barden Ridge, Padstow, Bankstown, Sutherland, Kirrawee, Gymea and Miranda.
The closest train station is Sutherland, on the T4 Illawarra line; although Padstow on the T8 East Hills/Airport line is also frequently used.
A family friendly cycle way runs from Sutherland to Padstow through Bangor, which links up with the broader Sydney cycle way.
The Bangor Scout Group was established in 1986 with a Scout Hall in Ross Reserve in Pyree Street and caters for youth aged from 6 to 26 years old.
The nearby rivers and extensive bush areas are popular with the locals and offer a variety of outdoor activities including bush walking, mountain bike riding, canoeing, kayaking, rowing, fishing.
Well-known recipients include Nobel laureates Robert Andrews Millikan, Edward M. Purcell, Richard Feynman, Isidor I. Rabi, Norman F. Ramsey, Hans Bethe, and Carl Wieman; as well as Arnold Sommerfeld, George Uhlenbeck, Jerrold Zacharias, Philip Morrison, Melba Phillips, Victor Weisskopf, Gerald Holton, John A. Wheeler, Frank Oppenheimer, Robert Resnick, Carl Sagan, Freeman Dyson, Daniel Kleppner, and Lawrence Krauss, and Anthony French, David Hestenes, Robert Karplus, Robert Pohl, and Francis Sears.
He went to Kyoto and taught in the dōjō of a man named Yoshida, who had relied on Saitō's father Yūsuke in the past.
The same age as Okita Sōji and another member named Tōdō Heisuke, the three shared the distinction of being the youngest in Kondō Isami's group and being among its most gifted swordsmen.
He always made sure that his obi was tied properly and when he walked he was careful not to drag his feet.
At rest he always sat in the formal position, called seiza, and he would remain very alert so that he could react instantly to any situations that might occur.
Along with his duties as Captain of the Third Squad in the Shinsengumi, he was also responsible for weeding out any potential spies within the Shinsengumi ranks.
During the Ikedaya incident on July 8, 1864, Saitō was with Hijikata Toshizō's group that arrived later at the Ikedaya Inn.
In August 20, 1864, Saitō and the rest of the Shinsengumi took part in the Kinmon incident against the Chōshū rebels.
In the reorganization of the ranks in November 1864, he was first assigned as the fourth unit's captain and would later receive an award from the shogunate for his part in the Kinmon incident.
Saitō was considered to be on the same level of swordsmanship as the first troop captain Okita Sōji and the second troop captain Nagakura Shinpachi.
His controversial reputation comes from accounts that he executed several corrupt members of the Shinsengumi; however, rumors vary as to his role in the deaths of Tani Sanjūrō in 1866 and Takeda Kanryūsai in 1867.
His role as an internal spy for the Shinsengumi is also questionable; one common example being that he is said to have been instructed to join Itō Kashitarō's splinter group Goryō Eji Kōdai-ji faction, to spy on them, which eventually led to the Aburanokōji incident in December 13, 1867.
Later in late December 1867, Saitō and a group of six Shinsengumi members were assigned to protect Miura Kyūtarō, who was one of the major suspects of the assassination of Sakamoto Ryōma.
On January 1, 1868, they fought against sixteen assassins who were trying to kill Miura in revenge at the Tenmaya Inn on what was known as the Tenmaya incident.
After the outbreak of the Boshin War from January 27, 1868 onwards, Saitō, under the name , took part in Shinsengumi's fight during the Battle of Toba–Fushimi and the Battle of Kōshū-Katsunuma, before withdrawing with the surviving members to Edo and later to the Aizu domain.
Due to Hijikata being incapacitated as a result of the injuries sustained at the Battle of Utsunomiya Castle, Saitō became the commander of the Aizu Shinsengumi around May 26, 1868 and continued on into the Battle of Shirakawa.
After the Battle of Bonari Pass, when Hijikata decided to retreat from Aizu, Saitō and a small group of 20 members parted with Hijikata and rest of the surviving Shinsengumi and continued to fight alongside with the Aizu army against the imperial army until the very end of the Battle of Aizu.
This parting account was recorded in Kuwana retainer Taniguchi Shirōbei's diary, where it was recorded as an occurrence also involving Ōtori Keisuke, whom Hijikata requested to take command of the Shinsengumi; thus the said confrontation was not with Hijikata.
Saitō, along with the few remaining men of the Shinsengumi who went with him, fought against the imperial army at Nyorai-dō (a small temple near Aizuwakamatsu Castle), where they were severely outnumbered.
After Aizuwakamatsu Castle fell, Saitō and the five surviving members joined a group of former Aizu retainers who traveled southwest to the Takada Domain in Echigo Province, where they were held as prisoners of war.
Kurasawa was involved in the migration of Aizu samurai to Tonami and the building up of the settlements in Tonami (now Aomori Prefecture), particularly in Gonohe village.
When on June 10, 1874, he left Tonami for Tokyo, Yaso moved in with Kurasawa and the Kurasawa family records last entry of her is in 1876.
Tsutomu and his wife Nishino Midori had seven children; the Fujita family continues to the present day through Tarō and Naoko Fujita, the children of Tsutomu's second son Makoto.
Fujita fought on the Meiji government's side during Saigō Takamori's Satsuma rebellion, as a member of the police forces sent to support the Imperial Japanese Army.
During his lifetime, Fujita Gorō shared some of his Shinsengumi experiences with a select few, these included Aizu natives Yamakawa Kenjirō and Takamine Hideo, whose houses he frequented.
During his life in the Meiji period, Fujita was the only one who was authorized by the government to carry a katana despite the collapse of the Tokugawa rule.
Following his retirement from Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in 1890, Fujita worked as a guard for Tokyo National Museum, and later as a clerk and accountant for Tokyo Women's Normal School from 1899, as well as for the Tokyo Higher Normal School, jobs he secured thanks to his friendship with Takamine Hideo.
Takamine also relied upon Fujita's skill as an appraiser of swords, and gave Fujita permission to freely enter his art warehouse.
Since he has been featured in several anime and manga Saitō has become a well-known figure among young anime fans in the west.
The series introduces Saitō as an anti-hero and eventual ally to the protagonist Himura Kenshin, and depicts several of the known historical descriptions of him from real life, from his personality and role in the Shinsengumi to his being left-handed.
However, Saitō changes as a man through his interactions with Kanichiro Yoshimura (played by Kiichi Nakai) during the last years of the Shinsengumi.
Here, like his historical inspiration, he is very reserved and analytical, using a left-handed sword technique and later joining Itō's splinter group at the order of Hijikata.
It is 16 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district and is located in the local government area of Canterbury-Bankstown Council, having previously been the administrive centre of the City of Bankstown prior to 2016.
In 1795, Matthew Flinders and George Bass explored up the Georges River for about 20 miles beyond what had been previously surveyed, and reported favourably to Governor Hunter of the land on its banks.
Hunter examined the country himself, and established one of the pioneer colonies there, called Bank's Town, today written as one word Bankstown.
The first town hall and Council Chambers were opened on 22 Oct 1898 on the northern side of the Hume Highway (Liverpool Road), near Rookwood Road (site of the Three Swallows Hotel).
After the arrival of Douglas MacArthur in Australia, control of Bankstown Airport was handed to US Forces, becoming home to US 35th Fighter Squadron and the 41st Pursuit Squadron of the United States Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces who occupied the airport from 1942 to 1944.
In 1945 operations became the responsibility of the British Fleet Air Arm, known as HMS Nabberley, until 1946, when it was handed back to the RAAF.
Their living quarters were located next door and down the road from the hall & the staff were housed in galvanised iron barracks.
Operations were handed over to the United States Army Air Corps on 10 April 1942 before they were transferred to a disused railway tunnel at St James railway station in Sydney.
The unit was renamed, Air Defence Headquarters Sydney (ADHQ) on 21 January 1945 and moved into a three-storey semi-underground purpose built operations and plotting facility at Bankstown, known as the Bankstown Bunker.
Few factories or industry of any consequence were located in Bankstown prior to 1945, this was changed dramatically between 1942 and 1954, especially when the Department of Aircraft Production gave approval for aircraft manufacturer Hawker De Havilland, to operate a factory at the airport for the production and manufacture of de Havilland Mosquito bombers.
The Bankstown Bunker is of similar design to the underground Ops rooms of wartime England, which directed Britain's air defence fighter plane attacks on the invading German Luftwaffe.
Entrance to the bunker was obtained through a concrete passageway which was well screened by a grassy slope, a stairway led to a maze of corridors and hallways leading to various sections.
The Bankstown bunker is currently buried under a public park, surrounded by residential dwellings at the northern end of Taylor Street.
Bankstown's population increased dramatically after World War II by people relocating from the inner-city areas and incoming migrants, mainly from Europe and towards the end of the 20th century from Asia, Middle East (especially Vietnamese and Lebanese) and the rest of the world.
Bankstown Council relocated to its third premises in 1963 when the Civic Centre that is located on the corner of Chapel Road and The Mall was constructed.
Council offices relocated to Bankstown Civic Tower (the blue tower) in 1999 and on 13 June 2000 Bankstown's now popular Central Park, where the former administration building once stood, was officially declared Paul Keating Park.
The average summer temperature range is from 17.6 °C (63.7 °F) to 27.8 °C (82.0 °F), although hot north-westerly winds can cause temperatures to rise up to +40 °C (104 °F).
On average, Bankstown sees 8.8 days per year where the temperature rises above 35 °C (95 °F), as opposed to only 3.0 days for Sydney Observatory Hill., The average winter temperature range is from 5.9 °C (42.6 °F) to 18.0 °C (64.4 °F).
The highest temperature recorded at Bankstown was 46.1 °C (115.0 °F) on 18 January 2013, and the lowest temperature recorded was -4.0 °C (24.8 °F) on 26 July 1968.
Bankstown's annual mean rainfall is 869.0mm, slightly less than the Sydney CBD, which is affected more by coastal showers which do not penetrate very far inland.
The commercial area beside the railway station is known as Bankstown Plaza, while the ethnic diversity of the area has created a host of restaurants, eateries and cafes.
Bankstown Central Shopping Centre, formerly known as Centro Bankstown and previously known as Bankstown Square, is a large shopping centre, immediately to the northeast of the railway Station.
Eight years earlier in 1946, Bankstown became the first municipality to adopt the Library Act of 1939 by opening a Children's Library, located at Restwell Street.
The suburb is affected with unusually high unemployment and is subject to a dedicated income management program specifically targeting the problem.
In 1928, the line was extended westwards from Bankstown to join the Main Suburban railway at Lidcombe and the Main South line to Liverpool.
Since then Bankstown has seen the development of several different educational facilities, such as, Al Amanah College, Bankstown Senior College (formerly Bankstown Boys High School 1963-1991), Bankstown Girls High School, Georges River Grammar School, LaSalle Catholic College and St Euphemia College.
'Paul Keating Park' was built on the site of Bankstown Council's former administration building, after it was destroyed by fire on 1 July 1997.
Bankstown is considered as one of the most multicultural areas in the country with over 60 different languages spoken by the people of this suburb.
Botany sits on the northern shore of Botany Bay, east of Sydney Airport, adjacent to the suburbs of Mascot, Banksmeadow, Pagewood and Port Botany.
Botany Bay, to the south, is where Captain James Cook first landed on 29 April 1770, when navigating his way around Australia on his ship, the Endeavour.
The ship's English botanist Joseph Banks and Swedish assistant botanist Daniel Solander, spent several days on shore collecting vast numbers of specimens, that were previously unknown in Europe.
Cook's journals first referred to the bay as Sting Rays' Harbour, then later Botanist Bay and finally both these names were crossed out and replaced with Botany Bay.
In 1809, Mr E Redmond was one of the first to settle here and Simeon Lord (1771–1840) was an important developer in the area who built a fulling mill in 1815.
The other historic landmark in the area is St Matthew's Church of England, on the corner of Botany Road and Lord Street.
The service from Circular Quay initially via Elizabeth, Chalmers and Redfern Streets (from 1902), then in 1933 via Pitt and Castlereagh Streets, and Eddy Avenue, Lee and Regents Streets, to Botany Street in Waterloo.
A single-track connection along Bourke and O'Dea Streets joined at the present day Green Square, allowing access to the Dowling Street Depot.
From Botany, a single-track line crossed the Botany Goods railway at Beauchamp Road, then passed along Perry Street and Bunnerong Road, past the former Bunnerong Power Station to join the La Perouse line at Yarra Junction.
Port Botany is the site of Sydney's major port and as such, Botany is a suburb with extensive commercial development centred on shipping and freight.
The plant once manufactured paints, plastics and industrial chemicals such as solvents, and is responsible for a large groundwater plume of pollution in the area.
The Pleasure Gardens reflect the history of the area with a zoo playground featuring life size animal statues, a mosaic depicting Banks’s journey, decorative flag terrace, Banksia garden and the central oval running track.
One of them is the well known NRL club named the South Sydney Rabbitohs and Botany Rams some other teams are Pagewood Botany Soccer Club, Botany Golf Club, Bonnie Doon Golf Club, Eastlake Golf Club and The Lakes Golf Club.
This increase in development in Botany has been as a result of increased urbanisation, with the redevelopment of industrial areas, allowing developers to take advantage of the proximity to beaches and CBD.
The Kyrenia Mountains is a long, narrow mountain range that runs for approximately along the northern coast of the island of Cyprus.
A devastating fire in July 1995 burned large portions of the Kyrenia Mountains, resulting in the loss of significant forest land and natural habitat.
These mountains are a series of sedimentary formations from the Permian to the Middle Miocene pushed up by a collision of the African and Eurasian plates.
Though only half the height of the Troodos Mountains, the Kyrenia Mountains are rugged and rise abruptly from the Mesaoria plain.
The location of the mountains near the sea made them desirable locations for watch towers and castles overlooking the northern Cyprus coast, as well as the central plain.
The castles of St. Hilarion, Buffavento, and Kantara sit astride peaks and were of strategic importance during much of the history of Cyprus during the Middle Ages.
One tells the story of a conceited villager who fell in love with the local queen and asked for her hand in marriage.
The queen wished to be rid of the impertinent young man and requested that he bring her some water from the spring of Apostolos Andreas monastery in the Karpas, a perilous journey in those days.
In a fit of rage, he poured the water on to the earth, seized a handful of the resulting mud and threw it at the queens head.
She ducked and the lump of mud sailed far across the plain to land on top of the Kyrenia mountain range, where it is to this day, still showing the impression of the thwarted villager’s five fingers.
Tradition has it that Digenis Akritas's hand gripped the mountain to get out of the sea when he came to free Cyprus from its Saracen invaders, and this is his handprint.
Although his work is less fashionable than it once was, Pagnol is still generally regarded as one of France's greatest 20th-century writers and is notable for the fact that he excelled in almost every medium—memoir, novel, drama and film.
In 1913, at the age of 18, Marcel passed his baccalaureate in philosophy and started studying literature at the University in Aix-en-Provence.
In 1922, he moved to Paris, where he taught English until 1927, when he decided instead to devote his life to playwriting.
Separated from Simone Collin since 1926 (though not divorced until 1941), he formed a relationship with the young English dancer Kitty Murphy.
In 1929, on a visit to London, Pagnol attended a screening of one of the first talking films and he was so impressed that he decided to devote his efforts to cinema.
Over the next decade Pagnol produced his own films, taking many different roles in the production – financier, director, script writer, studio head, and foreign-language script translator – and employing the greatest French actors of the period.
On 4 April 1946, Pagnol was elected to the Académie française, taking his seat in March 1947, the first filmmaker to receive this honour.
As a pictorial naturalist, Pagnol relies on film as art to convey a deeper meaning rather than solely as a tool to tell a story.
Pagnol also took great care in the type of actors he employed, hiring local actors to appear in his films to highlight their unique accents and culture.
Using interchangeable symbols and recurring character roles, such as proud fathers and rebellious children, Pagnol illuminates the provincial life of the lower class.
Bundeena is located 29 km south of the Sydney central business district and is part of the local government area of the Sutherland Shire.
Bundeena is adjacent to the village of Maianbar and lies on the southern side of Port Hacking, opposite the suburbs of Cronulla and Burraneer.
Bundeena may be reached by passenger ferry from Cronulla or by road through the Royal National Park from Sutherland or Waterfall.
Many people from Bundeena drive to the railway station at Sutherland, as it is only a 25-minute drive as opposed to 30 minutes by ferry to Cronulla and then a 15-minute train trip to Sutherland.
In addition there is one return trip every Wednesday to Engadine and one return trip every Friday to Miranda both via Maianbar.
Many residents see the deer as pests, but they are a protected species, although the National Parks & Wildlife Service are permitted a small yearly cull.
In December 2013, Lacson was appointed by then Philippines President Benigno Aquino III as Presidential Assistant for Rehabilitation and Recovery, to lead the management and rehabilitation efforts of the central provinces in the Philippines affected by Typhoon Haiyan.
Eight months into his job, Lacson secured the approval from Aquino of the phased implementation of the rehabilitation plan of six areas in the Super-Typhoon Yolanda destruction corridor, especially in the Eastern Visayas and Central Visayas regions.
He finished grade school at the Bayang Luma Elementary School in 1960 and high school at the Imus Institute in 1964.
He completed his Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy degree at the Lyceum of the Philippines University before entering the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) in 1967.
After his graduation in 1971, Lacson was commissioned in the Philippine Constabulary (PC), then a major service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) responsible for maintaining peace and order and enforcement of laws in the country.
After the 1986 People Power Revolution, he served at the PC-INP Anti-Carnapping Task Force as its commander from 1986 to 1988, as provincial commander of the Province of Isabela from 1988 to 1989, and as commander of the Cebu Metropolitan District Command (Metrodiscom) from 1989 to 1992.
In 1991, he joined the then-newly created civilian Philippine National Police, or PNP, formed as a result of the merger of the military Philippine Constabulary and the civilian Integrated National Police or INP.
In 1981, Lacson was a Lieutenant Colonel with the PC-Metrocom, when he led a team that rescued now-tycoon Robina Gokongwei-Pe, daughter of businessman John Gokongwei Jr., from a kidnap-for-ransom gang.
The Gokongweis eventually decided to show their gratitude by donating mobile patrol vehicles to the PC, coursing it through then PC chief Maj. Gen. Fidel Ramos.
Lacson, who would later head the Philippine National Police from 1999 to 2001, founded the PNP Foundation in 2000, as a way for civic-minded people to give contributions for the benefit of the PNP as an institution.
The victim's family intended to give the money they prepared as ransom to Lacson and his operatives as a reward, but Lacson declined it.
Aside from kidnap-for-ransom gangs, jueteng and other forms of illegal gambling were also in Lacson's sights when he was in the PC, and eventually in the Philippine National Police.
In 1992, he bared an attempt by local jueteng operators in Laguna to bribe him, initially to the tune of P1.2 million a month.
He rationalized the distribution of financial and logistical resources by downloading 85 percent to the police frontline units, retaining only 15 percent in the police headquarters.
Lacson refused to accept bribe money from illegal gambling operators and contractors and suppliers transacting business with the PNP, declining offers of monetary rewards from kidnap-for-ransom victims after rescuing them from their captors.
The Kuratong Baleleng of the 1990s was a criminal gang linked to a series of violent crimes that included kidnappings and bank robberies.
In 1995, members of a composite task group assigned to stop robberies in Metro Manila were linked to the killing of 11 members of Kuratong Baleleng in Quezon City.
In 2003, the High Tribunal ordered the Quezon City Regional Trial Court to try the case against Lacson and 33 other police officials.
The special prosecuting team later moved for new trial before the High Tribunal to remand case to the trial court to present new evidence against Senator Lacson, inter alia.
On May 2, 2008, the Supreme Court of the Philippines resolved to take cognizance of the motion of the families of the slain Kuratong Baleleng members for revival of the murder case against police officials and Senator Panfilo Lacson.
On November 13, 2012, the Supreme Court in an en banc decision denied the government's motion to revive the case and affirmed the lower court's decision dismissing it.
The Department of Justice filed double murder charges against Police Senior Superintendent Michael Ray Aquino and other police officers, including Senior Superintendent Cezar Mancao II and Senior Superintendent Glenn Dumlao – all members of Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force (PAOCTF) headed by then Police Director-General Panfilo Lacson.
In his 2001 affidavit, Senior Superintendent Glenn Dumlao implicated then President Joseph Estrada and then Director-General Panfilo Lacson in the Dacer–Corbito Murder Case.
In 2009, former police senior superintendent Cezar Mancao II named Lacson as the mastermind of the murders of Salvador Dacer and Emmanuel Corbito.
Mancao was allegedly present when Lacson gave the hit order to then Police Senior Superintendent Michael Ray Aquino sometime in October 2000.
On January 5, 2010, Lacson left the Philippines on a Cathay Pacific flight to Hong Kong, shortly before charges against him were filed in court.
Lacson returned to the country on March 26, 2011, a month after the Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' ruling on the case.
In a 2015 interview with the media, Mancao (still a fugitive) apologized to Lacson and Estrada for linking them in the Dacer–Corbito murders, admitting that he had no personal knowledge on the supposed involvement of the two.
Lacson was appointed by then President Joseph Estrada to head the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force (PAOCTF) and to serve as Philippine National Police Chief.
Lacson's notable accomplishments were the reduction of corrupt policemen (Kotong Cops) and various organized crime syndicates engaged in kidnapping, drug trafficking, and other illegal activities.
From April 30 to May 1, 2001, together with Juan Ponce Enrile, Gregorio Honasan, Miriam Defensor Santiago and Tito Sotto, he led the EDSA III protests against Joseph Estrada.
On March 11, 2003, Lacson delivered a speech entitled Living Without Pork, exposing the evils and temptations presented by the pork barrel system, and called for its total abolition.
During deliberations on the national budget, he stated he would make sure his PDAF allocation reverted to the National Treasury – in the process saving the government some PhP2.4 billion during his first 12 years in the Senate.
Lacson's advocacy against the pork barrel system and the corruption associated with him was cited by the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila when it conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Laws, Honoris Causa, on March 27, 2019.
He was one of the main authors of two legislative measures of the Aquino administration, one of which was the Reproductive Health Act.
The measure seeks to promote responsible parenthood and to protect the health of the mother and child by giving them access to reproductive health services.
Another legislative measure where Lacson was a main author was the Sin Tax Reform Act, which imposes higher taxes on tobacco and alcohol products to deter the public from buying such products.
Those who buy such products will have to pay higher taxes, whose proceeds will go to the government's universal health program.
Lacson authored an amendment to the Armed Forces of the Philippines Modernization Act, which aims to provide more funds to the military.
2993, An Act Providing for a comprehensive law on firearms, light weapons and ammunitions, which was signed into law as Republic Act 10591.
In the aftermath of Super Typhoon Yolanda, that caused widespread destruction, substantial damage and death in several areas in the country, particularly in the Visayas, President Aquino appointed Lacson as Presidential Assistant for Rehabilitation and Recovery (PARR) with the mandate of unifying the efforts of government and other agencies involved in the rehabilitation and recovery efforts.
His office crafted the Yolanda Comprehensive Rehabilitation and Recovery Plan (CRRP) with a PhP167 billion proposed funding, which provides for an overall strategic vision and integrated short-term, medium-term and long-term programs in the Yolanda-affected areas.
Lacson pointed out that while his mandate as PARR was to develop a rehabilitation plan, he had no authority to implement or manage funds.
However, due to low ratings in most pre-election presidential surveys, he decided to run for a senate seat as an independent candidate in the 2016 Philippine general election.
Lacson, who endorsed former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas' presidential campaign, garnered around 17 million votes in the 2016 elections, earning his way to a Senate seat by ranking fourth in terms of total votes.
In the 17th Congress, Lacson filed Senate Bill 41, the National Reference Act of 2016, which seeks to establish a National ID system that can help government law enforcers deter criminality and terrorism by facilitating the processes of apprehension and prosecution.
The system seeks to address the problems of constant delays and inconveniences in availing of basic public services and social security benefits due to inefficient and unreliable means of identifying the beneficiaries.
Lacson filed Senate Bill 42, penalizing a wide range of crimes ranging from drug-related offenses to treason, terrorism, and human trafficking.
Lacson filed Senate Bill 48, which seeks to amend Republic Act 4200 to update the list of crimes where wiretapping may be deemed lawful under certain circumstances.
At a Senate hearing on January 28, 2017, the former Lacson showed a video of police officers in civilian clothing, appearing to plant evidence in an anti-drug operation – to stress his call for internal cleansing in the PNP.
The bill seeks to give local government units an active role in nation building by providing them with funding for development projects.
Lacson noted House members were allowed to identify P80 million worth of projects before the submission of the 2017 National Expenditure Program to Congress for deliberations – the pork barrel system already declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
This prompted the Senate to realign P8.3 billion in the proposed 2017 national budget to cover tuition of students in state colleges and universities.
For the 2019 budget, Lacson raised questions about the post-ratification tweaks made by the House leadership to the spending bill, saying this would violate the 1987 Constitution‘s Art.
Meanwhile, in the proposed 2020 budget, Lacson cited information from some House members of a plan to give each district P700 million, and each of 22 deputy Speakers P1.5 billion.
Lacson's revelations prompted some House members to demand an apology from Lacson, but Lacson said there is nothing to apologize for, as he is guarding the budget.
House members demanded that he named his sources, but Lacson refused, saying he gets more information because he protects his sources.
On August 23, 2017, Lacson delivered a privilege speech at the Senate, where he narrated details of corruption at the Bureau of Customs.
This led to Faeldon being cited in contempt by the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee after he refused to testify in the probe on illegal drugs.
On September 28, Lacson filed charges against Faeldon and several others before the Office of the Ombudsman over rice smuggling in March 2017.
Also, Lacson said the family of Health Secretary and ex-oficio PhilHealth chairman Francisco Duque III had entered into a lease agreement with PhilHealth's Region 1 office where the agency rented the building owned by the Duque family's EMDC in Dagupan City.
Lacson said a General Information Sheet of EMDC showed Secretary Duque was among the stockholders of the company, thus indicating a conflict of interest.
In addition, Lacson said Doctors Pharmaceuticals Inc., a company owned by Secretary Duque's relatives, bids for government contracts with the DOH.
The company was found in 2015 by the Food and Drug Administration of manufacturing for other companies, and was slapped a cease-and-desist order in June 2015.
The FDA also ordered the recall of all drug products, but a tip that prompted an FDA inspection showed the firm was still operating.
Malacanang said that while Secretary Duque, who denied the allegations, still enjoys President Rodrigo Duterte's trust, it will not stop him from attending the congressional investigations.
The bill was consolidated in Senate Bill 1465, which along with House Bill 5670 were the basis for Republic Act 10969 – the Free Irrigation Service Act – which President Rodrigo Duterte signed into law on February 2, 2018.
The probe found indications of a cover-up attempt via Facebook chat by Aegis Jvris fraternity, the organization Castillo sought to join.
The probe resulted in Senate Bill 1662, which updated the existing Anti-Hazing Act of 1995 by imposing heavier penalties on hazing.
The proposed measure – Senate Bill 1738 – was approved in the Senate with a vote of 17–2 on March 19, 2018.
Lacson, the principal sponsor of the measure and a perennial author since 2001, expressed thanks to Duterte, as it was under his term that the national ID system saw the light of day.
On February 8, 2019, President Rodrigo Duterte signed into law Republic Act 11200, which provides for a rank classification in the Philippine National Police.
He had a strong following among young voters in the Philippines due to his efforts to promote honesty and good governance.
They have six children (Robbie Pierre, Raul Jr., Sophia, Sareena, Rex and Synara) and seven grandchildren (Nica, Reece, Samantha, Shania, Santina, Beannie and RB).
Raul Roco was born in Naga City in the Philippine province of Camarines Sur, the son of farmer Sulpicio Azuela Roco and public school teacher Rosario Orlanda Sagarbarria.
Roco finished elementary school at age 10 from Naga Parochial School, and high school at age 14 from Ateneo de Naga.
Later, Roco received a Bachelor of Laws degree (also at San Beda College) and was the college's Abbott Awardee for Over-All Excellence.
In the United States, he obtained his Master of Laws at the University of Pennsylvania, while also enrolled at the Wharton School.
He was the president of the National Union of Students of the Philippines in 1961 and was named one of the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines in 1964.
After he passed the bar in 1965, Roco lobbied for the holding of a Constitutional Convention that aimed to amend the 1935 Philippine Constitution.
Among all legislators of the Eighth Congress of the Philippines (which lasted from 1987–1992), he was adjudged by the Ford Foundation and the University of the Philippines Institute of Strategic and Development Studies as first in over-all performance.
Some other laws that he wrote resulted in the liberalization of the banking industry and the strengthening of the thrift banks.
He helped fund the teachers' cooperatives as well as the increment mandated by the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers for retiring public school teachers.
He wrote the Women in Nation Building Law, the Nursing Act, the Anti-Sexual Harassment Law, the Anti-Rape Law, and the Child and Family Courts Act.
He was given the Bantay Katarungan award by Kilosbayan for playing an integral role in the Senate impeachment trial of then-president Joseph Estrada who was impeached by the House of Representatives on 2000 for graft and corruption.
Roco took over as education secretary of the Philippines in 2001, at a time when the Philippines had not only one of the ten most corrupt governments in the world (according to Transparency International), but its Department of Education was also the fourth-most corrupt of its agencies (as named by the Asia Foundation - Social Weather Stations Survey of Enterprises on Public Sector Corruption).
To combat this corruption, Roco imposed a department-wide transparency policy which also held employees accountable for the purchase of textbooks, which had been a major source of the department's corruption.
This allowed the department to purchase textbooks for a much lower price, and after just eight months under Roco's leadership, the Department of Education gained a 73% public approval rating and became the most trusted government agency in the Philippines.
He also enacted a reform of basic education curriculum in order that children would focus their studies on reading, writing, arithmetic, science, and Makabayan.
He lost to Vice-President Joseph Estrada but had a remarkable showing in a field of eleven candidates despite being an independent candidate.
His strong showing was attributed to the widespread support he received from young Filipinos who eventually formed his party, Aksyon Demokratiko, and its youth arm, Aksyon Kabataan.
However, during the campaign, he battled with [recurrence of his cancer], after remission from his bout with prostate cancer in 1996.
His widow, Sonia, lost her bid for Senator under the Genuine Opposition (formerly United Opposition) umbrella in the May 14, 2007 midterm elections.
She still represents the party he started, Aksyon Demokratiko, in the hope of continuing the advocacies that her late husband had started.
Caringbah once stretched from Woolooware Bay on the Georges River to Yowie Bay and Burraneer Bay on the Port Hacking estuary.
These suburbs include Taren Point to the north on the Georges River, and Port Hacking, Lilli Pilli, Dolans Bay and Caringbah South, located on the Port Hacking River to the south.
The suburb was originally called Highfield, but it is unclear whether this was a position description or whether it was named after an early resident.
Commercial developments here include many home furnishing retailers such as Nick Scali Furniture, large retailers including Bunnings, as well as home renovation showrooms.
The main shopping centre is located close to Caringbah railway station and is centred on the intersections of President Avenue, the Kingsway and Port Hacking Road South.
Caringbah is home to the public district Sutherland Hospital adjacent to Caringbah Ambulance Station and Kareena Private Hospital on Kareena Road.
President Avenue and the Kingsway both run from Sutherland via Miranda in the west, to the popular beachside suburb of Cronulla in the east.
Caringbah railway station is on the Cronulla branch of the Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line T4 on the Sydney Trains network.
Transdev NSW runs buses to such places as Lilli Pilli, South Cronulla, Hurstville, Sutherland, Cronulla and Dolans Bay and Transit Systems operates one school route.
Metro-North Railroad (MNCR) is a commuter railroad system serving two of the five boroughs of New York City (Manhattan and the Bronx), Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Rockland, and Orange Counties in New York, as well Fairfield and New Haven Counties in Connecticut.
It was established by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in 1983 to acquire operation of all commuter rail service in New York and Connecticut from Conrail, which itself had been formed in 1976 through the merging of a number of financially troubled railroads, and previously operated commuter railroad service under contract from the MTA.
As with many commuter railroad systems of the late-20th Century in the United States, the stations exist along lines that were inherited from other railroads of the 19th and early 20th Centuries.
Stations on the east side of the Hudson River were originally part of either New York Central Railroad or New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, both of which became part of Penn Central Railroad in 1968 and 1969 respectively.
Stations on lines on the west side of the Hudson River were originally part of Erie Railroad which was merged into the Erie Lackawanna Railroad in 1960.
Dozens of active stations that serve Metro-North are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the most notable of which is Grand Central Terminal which is also a National Historic Landmark and a New York City Landmark.
Four of the northern termini of each line contains stations that are on NRHP, but the only one that serves Metro-North trains is Poughkeepsie station.
The New Haven Line has been terminating northeast of the historic New Haven Union Station at State Street station since 2002.
The Danbury Branch, Waterbury Branch, and Port Jervis Lines stop at platforms just short of former stations that are listed on NRHP.
Other structures related to the railroad are listed on NRHP, but are not stations, such as the Housatonic River, Norwalk River, and Saugatuck River Railroad Bridges.
Stations along the Pascack Valley Line from Hoboken, NJ to Montvale, NJ and along the Main Line and Bergen County Line from Hoboken, NJ to Mahwah, NJ are operated solely by New Jersey Transit.
Any stations closed by New York Central Railroad, Penn Central Railroad, New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, Erie Railroad, Erie-Lackawanna Railroad, Conrail, or the MTA before 1983 will not be included on this list.
Circular Quay is a harbour, former working port and now international passenger shipping port, public piazza and tourism precinct, heritage area, and transport node located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia on the northern edge of the Sydney central business district on Sydney Cove, between Bennelong Point and The Rocks.
In an archaeological dig in Parramatta, Western Sydney, it was found that the Aboriginals used charcoal, stone tools and possible ancient campfires.
Near Penrith, a far western suburb of Sydney, numerous Aboriginal stone tools were found in Cranebrook Terraces gravel sediments having dates of 45,000 to 50,000 years BP.
Prior to the arrival of the British there were 4,000 to 8,000 native people in the Sydney area from as many as 29 different clans.
The earliest Europeans to visit the area noted that the indigenous people were conducting activities such as camping and fishing, using trees for bark and food, collecting shells, and cooking fish.
The Cadigal band are the traditional owners of the Sydney CBD area, and their territory south of Port Jackson stretches from South Head to Petersham.
Sydney Cove, on which Circular Quay is located, was the site of the initial landing of the First Fleet in Port Jackson on 26 January 1788.
The governor's temporary canvas house was erected on the east side of the cove, while the western shore became the centre of the early settlement.
Late 18th-century Scottish constitutional reformer Thomas Muir was sentenced to transportation to Sydney for sedition, and had a cottage on what is now Circular Quay.
The eastern side of the cove remained largely uninhabited in the early years of the colony; one notable inhabitant was Bennelong, after whom the adjacent Bennelong Point and Bennelong Apartments are named.
In the early 19th century, the entire eastern shore of Circular Quay was part of the Governor's Domain, though some commercial activity developed along the shoreline.
Cadman's Cottage is a building which survives from that era, built in 1816 for the use of the governmental coxswains and their crews, it marks approximately the location of Circular Quay's natural western shore, prior to reconstruction.
Reflecting Circular Quay's status as the central harbour for Sydney, the Customs House was built on the southern shore in 1844-5.
During the construction of Circular Quay, the eastern side of the cove was used as a quarry and housed construction works.
After the governor's residence was moved up the hill to the present Government House in the 1840s and 1850s, Macquarie Street was extended north through the Governor's Domain to Fort Macquarie.
This led to the development of the area between the street and the shore into a commercial working wharf dominated by the wool trade, while the eastern side of the street remained part of the Domain.
From the 1890s, ferry terminals came to dominate the harbour, and Circular Quay became the hub of the Sydney ferry network.
The first tram to operate through Circular Quay was horse-drawn, running from the old Sydney Railway station to Circular Quay along Pitt Street in 1861 allowing easy transfer to ferries.
Trams operated from Central station down Castlereagh Street to Circular Quay and back up Pitt Street in a large anti-clockwise loop.
From 1936, the appearance of Circular Quay was dramatically changed with the construction of a railway viaduct, and later the elevated Cahill Expressway above the viaduct, across the southern shore of the cove.
The Circular Quay railway station was opened on 20 January 1956 and the elevated Cahill Expressway was officially opened on 24 March 1958.
Further north, the Sydney Cove Passenger Terminal was built in 1958-1960 to accommodate the increased number of passengers arriving by ship.
In 1984, Lionel Todd (Sydney Opera House Stage 3 Architect), proposed his semi-circular quay concept to enhance views of the opera house from the main pedestrian approach, and extend the Royal Botanic Gardens over Macquarie Street, to Sydney Cove.
In return for reducing the height of the building and adding a colonnade to facilitate public access, the development was permitted to extend further towards the foreshore, with the design finalised in 1992.
In 2019, the Circular Quay area is undergoing a significant transformation of its built form, with several property developments underway by the private sector, including: Quay Quarter Sydney by AMP Capital, Opera Residences, One Circular Quay by Yuhu Group, Circular Quay Tower by Lendlease, and the Sandstone Hotels precinct by Pontiac Group.
The Cahill Expressway is a prominent feature of the quay, running from the east, over the elevated railway station to join the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the west.
The Overseas Passenger Terminal, situated on the Quay, is a major piece of Sydney transport infrastructure serving cruise ships and ocean liners and their passengers.
The wharf complex hosts five commuter ferry wharves and is the terminus for all public ferry routes in Sydney Harbour and the Parramatta River other than the Mortlake Ferry between Mortlake and Putney.
As many Sydney bus routes follow the previous tram lines, the tram terminus in Alfred Street became a major bus terminus for many bus routes.
In response to increasing bus congestion in the CBD, on 13 December 2012 the NSW Government announced a commitment to build a $1.6 billion light rail from Circular Quay down George Street to Central Station, then across to Moore Park and down Anzac Parade.
South of Moore Park the line will spit into two branches - one continuing down Anzac Parade to The Nine Ways at Kingsford, and the second heading to Randwick via Alison Road.
Circular Quay is a focal point for community celebrations, due to its central Sydney location between the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Circular Quay is also the home of Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art and the City of Sydney Library in the heritage-listed Customs House.
Sydney Writers Walk - a series of plaques commemorating writers with some connection to Sydney - was installed in the footpath along Circular Quay in 1991.
In autumn 2006, the largest open-air art exhibition ever in Australia took place on Circular Quay: Over 7 weeks the Berlin Buddy Bears visited Sydney.
Water Polo by the Sea is held there every year by Australian Water Polo with the Australia men's national water polo team take on the International All Stars.
Sir Thomas Graves KB (c.1747 – 29 March 1814) was an officer of the Royal Navy who rose to the rank of admiral after service in the Seven Years' War, the American War of Independence, and the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.
Thomas Graves was born circa 1747, the third son of Reverend John Graves of Castle Dawson, County Londonderry, by his wife Jane Hudson.
After the peace he was appointed to with his cousin Thomas, whom he followed to , and by whom, in 1765, while on the coast of Africa, he was promoted to be lieutenant of .
In 1770 Graves was lieutenant of , and in 1773 was appointed to with Captain Constantine Phipps for the voyage of discovery in the Arctic Seas.
In the following year he went out to North America with his uncle Samuel, and was appointed by him to command , one of the small schooners employed for the prevention of smuggling.
She had thirty men, with an armament of four 2-pounder guns, and on 27 May 1775, being sent from Boston into the Charles River, was attacked by a large force of insurgents, whose numbers swelled till they reached a total of something like two thousand men, with two field-pieces.
In 1779 he was promoted to the command of the sloop on the West Indian and North American stations, and in May 1781 he was advanced to post rank.
During the peace Graves spent much of his time in France, and in the early years of the French Revolutionary Wars had no employment.
It was not until October 1800 that he was appointed to command the 74-gun , in the Channel Fleet, under the orders of Lord St. Vincent.
This was only for a few months; for on 1 January 1801 he was promoted to be Rear-Admiral of the White Squadron, and in March hoisted his flag on board the 64-gun , one of the fleet proceeding to the Baltic with Sir Hyde Parker.
Graves afterwards shifted his flag to , and in her was third in command under Parker and Nelson at the Battle of Copenhagen on 2 April 1801.
For his services on this important occasion he received the thanks of Parliament, and an appointment as Knight Commander of the Bath.
Towards the end of July the fleet left the Baltic, and on its return to England Graves, who had been in very bad health during the greater part of the campaign, retired from active service.
, captained for a time by Christopher Nesham, carried his flag in the Bay of Biscay from October 1804 to February 1805.
This is the longest distance between stations on the Hudson Line, the longest on any Metro-North main line, and the third longest on the entire system.
In 1976 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places; it and Philipse Manor are the only Hudson Line stations outside Manhattan to be so recognized.
The first Poughkeepsie station was built in 1850 as what became the New York Central Railroad's Water Level Route worked its way up the Hudson River.
For its first two years it was the end of the line, but even after it was completed all the way to Albany, it remained the most important intermediate stop.
Many local industries, particularly the carpet mills and shoe factories in the city, used the rail facilities to get their products to market.
The concentration of industry around a major rail stop also led to the rise of banking and finance within the city as well.
In 1888, with the completion of the nearby Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge providing east-west rail service across the Hudson, Poughkeepsie became even more important to regional rail transportation.
When it came time for a third station to be built on the site, the firm of Warren & Wetmore was hired to design a station that would impress travelers and communicate the city's confidence and cosmopolitan aspirations.
The building has remained largely intact since then, despite declines in passenger rail use and the demise of the New York Central.
It has since transitioned, under the auspices of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, from being a station for primarily intercity rail to the commuter services of Metro-North.
Until April 4, 2009, the southbound Lake Shore Limited (Train 48) stopped at this station, as well as at Hudson, and Rhinecliff-Kingston stations.
On November 8, 2010, Lake Shore Limited service to this station was restored in both directions, and later at Rhinecliff-Kingston, but not at Hudson.
A massive restoration in the late 20th century included the reconstruction of the overpass from the station to Main Street and a large parking garage to serve commuters (many of whom come from points north and west).
Since the 1990s, there have been rumors and plans to expand the Hudson Line north to Rhinecliff (or even further to Rensselaer).
Local property owners have objected to this given plans to build stations in Hyde Park and Staatsburg though those who do commute via Poughkeepsie are in favor of the plan.
The station is a four-story building built into a rockface, with the bottom two levels given over to the tracks and the top two accounted for by the main waiting room, a two-story brick-faced building.
The waiting room, modeled on Grand Central Terminal, is a high gallery lit during daylight by the windows and the three original chandeliers.
The walls are paneled in wood to eight feet (240 cm), after which the carved stone shows all the way to the cornice.
More original woodwork, the stained walnut rafters, is present in the ceiling, possibly modeled after a similar design in San Miniato al Monte, an 11th-century church in Florence, Italy.
Amenities include bathrooms (also modernized), a concession stand, as well as a ticket counter selling Metro-North tickets alongside two vending machines which also sell MetroCards; Amtrak tickets are available only by Quik-Trak machine.
There are four tracks at the platform level, enough to accommodate Amtrak and Metro-North stops simultaneously, although only three are regularly used.
The fourth and easternmost has a lower speed limit and is used mainly for non-revenue maintenance trains or those experiencing difficulties.
In the late 1960s the North-South Arterial (US 9) was built and elevated immediately to the station's east, somewhat isolating it from the rest of the city.
Traffic going along the expressway gets a good view of the station, and it and the nearby steeple of the Church of the Holy Comforter have become landmarks to travelers passing through the city.
Having run as a grant-aided school since it was founded, the school commenced operation in the Direct Subsidy Scheme in September 2003.
In 1860, Mrs Lydia Smith (the Bishop of Victoria's wife) and the FES (the Society for the Promotion of Female Education in the Far East) set up the Diocesan Native Female Training School, a day-school turned boarding school for native girls, affiliated with the Diocese of Victoria.
On 30 January 1869, in a bid to gain popular support, Bishop Alford issued an appeal to admit boys into the school and to turn it into an orphanage.
In July 1870, William Arthur, formerly of the Garrison School, was appointed as the headmaster and Mrs Arthur as the matron.
In July, he withdrew his proposal following pressure from William Beswick, honorary treasurer of the DHO, although the Bishop still thought it inappropriate to have boys and girls boarding in the same school campus.
It is unclear when the school was renamed the Diocesan Boys' School, although the name was used as early as 1918.
In 1949, Goodban introduced a new house system in which houses were named after former headmasters, along with the Piercy Challenge Shield.
In early 1950s, construction plans for a gymnasium, a Carnegie Hall (the old art room beside the demolished gymnasium) and a science wing were proposed.
In 1955, Canon George Zimmern, also known as George She, was appointed the next headmaster, the first Hong Kong-born old boy to be given the role.
It was decided that the primary classes should be dropped for lack of space and that a completely new primary school - Diocesan Preparatory School - would be built, although the decision was only implemented in 1969.
Based on his previous experience in the school, he restructured the administration to improve efficiency and appointed more teachers to posts with designated duties.
Chang was highly in favour of joining the DSS, but some students and most teachers opposed the DSS because they were afraid it would shut out students from poorer families.
The Diocesan Boys' School Primary Division (DBSPD) had its first, partial intake of students in 2004 and expanded its intake with students aged between 6 and 12 over the following years.
In April 2012, Diocesan Boys' School became the first secondary school in Hong Kong to have a school app on iOS and Android.
In September 2012, Chang retired and Ronnie Kay Yen Cheng – an old boy who had been the conductor of the school choirs – succeeded him as headmaster.
In 2019, the school introduced a refresh to the school uniform, with the new uniform now featuring black trousers, two new types of overcoats for winter, a new tracksuit and new shorts for physical education lessons.
After they complete the Pre-IB programme, they will enter the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), and will graduate if they pass the IB Finals.
Originally, the school intended to admit girls into the IB course but this was later cancelled when it was faced with strong objection and protest from students and parents.
In March 2009, the school received media attention when a Form 4 student complained that he had had a nude female model as a subject in his art class, and alleged embarrassment.
The visual arts teacher, employed for 27 years, told reporters that he had been inviting nude models without any complaint for nearly ten years.
Recently, the school has won the Inter-School Swimming Competition for a record 27 consecutive years and the Inter-School Tennis Competition for a record 19 consecutive years (straight wins every year).
Athletics Team was crowned the Overall Champion for a record 7 consecutive years between 2003/04 and 2009/10, and Life Saving Team was crowned the Overall Champion for a record 23 consecutive years between 1992/93 and 2014/15.
In 2013/14, the school won a record 14 Open Grade/Overall Championships in Archery, Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Cross Country, Fencing, Football, Handball, Indoor Rowing, Life Saving, Swimming, Tenpin Bowling, Tennis and Volleyball; a record 3 Jing Ying Team Championships in Badminton, Basketball and Football; as well as the BOCHK Bauhinia Bowl, the BOCHK Rising Star Award and the Outstanding School Award in Jing Ying Team Sports Competitions.
In 2016/17, the school won a record 14 Open Grade/Overall Championships again in Athletics, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Cross Country, Fencing, Football, Handball, Indoor Rowing, Life Saving, Squash, Swimming, Table Tennis, Tennis and Volleyball.
In 2018/19, the school won a record 6 Grand Slams in Beach Volleyball, Cross Country, Football, Indoor Rowing, Swimming and Volleyball.
In March 2003, the school football team made history by becoming the Champion of the All Hong Kong Schools Jing Ying Football Tournament as a Division Three team.
The school is the leader in terms of the number of Omega Rose Bowl/BOCHK Bauhinia Bowl won in the Boys Schools Section with 27 victories.
The BOCHK Bauhinia Bowl, previously known as Omega Rose Bowl, is the annual award to member secondary schools of the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Secondary Schools Regional Committee achieving the best all-round performance from all sporting events organised by the Regional Committee each year.
The Diocesan Boys' School Music Department contains six choirs, a full symphony orchestra, string and wind orchestras, a Chinese orchestra, and many chamber ensembles.
The Orchestra was founded during George She's time in 1956, though before that Mr Goodban had already been promoting instrumental music within DBS.
Having performed extensively in Hong Kong, the Orchestra has collaborated with artists such as conductors Marin Alsop, Kristjan Järvi, Niel Varon and Wilson Ng; violinists Leo Phillips, Chuan-yun Li, Renée Jolles and Christoph Koncz; violist Born Lau, harpist Catherine Michel and pianist Colleen Lee.
The DBS Orchestra was awarded the Gold Prize in the Washington D.C. International Music Festival 2015 with an average score of 93.67 marks.
The orchestra performed at the Smetana Hall in Prague, Czech Republic; the Vigadó Concert Hall in Budapest, Hungary; and performed Beethoven's Symphony No.
The intermediate choirs are for students who are at the earlier stages of adolescent vocal development, while the senior choirs are for students with relatively developed voices.
The Diocesan Boys' School Chinese Orchestra (DBSCO; Chinese: 拔萃男書院國樂會) originated from a Pipa Ensemble back in the 1950s and developed into a full orchestra in the 1960s.
Since its founding, Diocesan Boys’ School Chinese Orchestra has been an active participant in the Hong Kong Schools Music Festival and captured numerous championships in the ‘Chinese Orchestra (Senior)’ category.
Currently, Dean of Culture - Mr. CHO Ka-wai (曹家偉) and Mr. WONG Ka-long (王家朗) are the teachers-in-charge of DBSCO and Mr. KWOK Hang-kei is the Principal Conductor and Art Director.
In October 1998, the Orchestra was invited by a renowned Erhu master, Professor Wong Kwok-tung (王國潼) to perform in a concert with other Chinese Orchestras in the Hong Kong City Hall.
DBSCO was awarded the Golden Band (First Prize) in the category Ensembles with free instrumentation up to 35 years and got the Grand Prix (Overall Champion) of the event.
The Prefects' Board was established in 1916 and continues to serve an important function within the school: as its oldest student organisation, prefects are an integral part of everyday school life.
They are selected from senior form students and are expected to lead the school in inter-school events, organise functions for the school and uphold discipline within the school on a daily basis.
Being tasked to enforce discipline, prefects are allowed to punish students by requiring them to copy lines from the school rules, a system that is unique in Hong Kong.
The Board is led by the Head Prefect: under him is the Second Prefect of Activities and the Second Prefect of Discipline.
Each year in December during the Christmas service, the Candlelight Ceremony signifies the transition of the previous year's board to the new board, with a new Head Prefect elected by the teachers and other Prefects.
Established at the beginning of the 21st century, the Student Council is a democratically elected body by the student population at the beginning of each academic year.
Their main function is to organise events throughout the year for students to participate in, such as inter-class competitions in sports and the end of year ball.
DBS also participates in other competitions, such as art, drama, debate, business, mathematics, computer programming and the Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival.
DBS counts a total of 11 winners of the Hong Kong Outstanding Students Awards, ranking eighth among all secondary schools in Hong Kong.
Como is a suburb in southern Sydney, located on the southern banks of the Georges River, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
The postal locality (suburb) of Como West was originally created in 1939 from within the greater Como locality, and is bounded to the west by the Woronora River.
Circa early 1883, a small weatherboard and iron roofed building called the Woronora Hotel had been constructed by the proprietor, Mr Thomas Hanley, in response to the rapidly growing railway worker's camp situated adjacent to where they were planning to extend the Illawarra railway line across a bridge being constructed over the Georges River.
The Woronora Post Office opened on 16 May 1883, adjacent to the Woronora Hotel; this facility also being operated by Mr Hanley.
In 1922, the postal locality of Woronora was changed to Como upon a suggestion offered by Mr James Frederick Murphy, manager of the Holt-Sutherland Co. and the affairs of Thomas Holt (1811–1888), who at the time owned much of the land that stretched from Sutherland to Cronulla.
Mr Murphy likened the area to its namesake in Italy on account of its similarity to Lake Como at the foot of the Lepontine Alps and Lugano Prealps.
The Italian influence on the suburb is also reflected in many of the existing street names, which were named after various cities located throughout Italy including Genoa Street, Verona Range, Tivoli Esplanade, Ortona Parade, Novara Crescent, Pavia Road, Cremona Road and Loretta Avenue (originally named Loretto, a misspelling of the Italian city of Loreto).
Shortly after, on 10 Jul 1883 first mention of the Como Post Office appears in an article published in the Sydney Morning Herald, thus confirming the locality had already officially been renamed to Como.
On 25 Sep 1883, the NSW Government awarded the tender for timber construction of the new Worinora Public School to R.G.
On 14 Jun 1884, an article in the Australian Town & Country Journal notes that Mr Hanley had enlarged a room at the Woronora Hotel to cater as an assembly hall and theatre for the now hundreds of women and children encamped nearby.
The article also mentions that the Como Public School grounds were soon to be improved, thus confirming the school name had also been officially changed to Como.
Murphy's Pleasure Grounds would later be reclaimed for public use and is generally known as the Como Pleasure Grounds to this day.
After James F. Murphy died, his estate provided scholarships for young men studying agricultural science at St John's College Sydney and the Hawkesbury Agricultural College.
In January 1887, the first (presumed small) version of George Agnew's Como Hotel had been constructed — however only in a non-liquor capacity.
This small first establishment would last around two years, until the much larger second version build began in March 1888 (see the version one timeline below for full details).
In March 1888, tenders were called for the construction of a major 20-room hotel at Como, by master building contractor Robert Fielding (on behalf of George Agnew).
However, this decision had been made at the same time when the majority of the temporary railway workers with their families had already begun moving out of Como and heading further south with the ongoing extension of the Illawarra railway line.
In effect, George was building a bigger, grander hotel that would be reliant on a rapidly dwindling population to survive — in hindsight, a very poor business decision.
Unsurprisingly, with the 1890 Depression in full swing there were no takers for an expensive-to-run hotel, especially in a tiny town with a declining populace and no public school.
With no further takers after more advertisement in October 1890, George Agnew was forced to apply himself for a Publicans' License.
By 1894, George Agnew was still in financial difficulty, being forced to sell all his household furniture and effects from his Como residence.
The second establishment of the Como Hotel was frequented by the Australian poet Henry Lawson, who lived at Como in the early 1900s.
In 1939, the Como West Post Office was opened, along with the first classroom(s) at the new Como West Public School.
The iconic, second version of the Como Hotel was destroyed on 3 November 1996, after an electrical fault in the restaurant kitchen started a massive blaze.
By early 1884, the Murphy brothers partnership had built and were managing the first commercial boat house and boat hire facilities at Como being located just east of where the rail bridge over the Georges River was later to be constructed.
Como had also been developing a reputation (reported in the newspapers of the time) for skilled boat building, with suitable facilities located on the south bank of the Georges River, also near where the future rail bridge was to be built.
She was built by Mr Harry Stephens for Messrs C. & E. Miller (one of the Illawarra Railway Line contractors) and was intended to carry railway materials from South Australian ports.
On 16 Feb 1894, it was reported in the Evening News (Sydney) that the boat hire business of H.C. Press & Sons was forced to close down their operations, following a successful Court appeal against their application for Lease by their main competition - James F. Murphy & F.S.E.
On 17 May 1894, it was reported in the Sydney Morning Herald that another boat hire operator, Mr John H. Wills, had been successful in obtaining a lease on the western side of the Como Station for a boat shed and wharf.
Their impressive facilities were located immediately adjacent to the eastern side of the southern bridge abutment (just west of Murphy's Boat House facilities) and can clearly be seen in numerous historical images of the time.
Circa 1905/1906, advertisements for H.C. Press & Sons Ball Room & Boat Hire facilities at Como cease, instead advertising their other Woolloomooloo Bay boating facilities.
C. and M. Millar won the contract to build the section from Redfern to Waterfall, crossing the Georges River and into the Holt-Sutherland Estate via the Double Bay paddock.
On 26 December 1885 the original single-track Como railway bridge spanning the Georges River began first services, with the opening of the bridge and single platform railway station at Como.
Rather alarmingly, it was not until 19 Jan 1886 (a month after opening) that the New South Wales Government Railway testing engineer carried out an initial load strength safety test on the bridge.
Also of interest is the media report on 2 Mar 1886 (3 months after the official opening) that construction of the initial station building was still underway.
The natural environment at Como made it popular for river cruises, and holiday makers and trains were reported as being overcrowded on their first day of service along the newly extended section reaching to Sutherland.
In addition, a larger station building on the western station platform replaced the much smaller one that had originally stood on the single eastern platform.
Since 1942, the original Georges River rail bridge has carried Sydney Water's pipeline, which runs from Woronora Dam to the Penshurst Reservoirs.
It eliminated the bottleneck imposed by the original Gauntlet track design which had limited service numbers on the increasingly busy Sutherland line.
There appear to be no newspaper records relating to its initial construction, and no references that could help determine whether it was demolished outright and totally replaced by the second, much larger Edwardian styled version, or was simply incorporated into the second build (though that seems unlikely, given that the second version built circa 1888-1889 used 160,000 bricks in its ground floor).
Tenders sought by building contractor Robert Fielding were called during Dec 1889-Feb 1890 for sub-contractors to supply large quantities of building materials & carry out associated works, including delivery of 160,000 bricks, quarrying local stone, providing and erecting large quantities of iron posts, railings & ornamental castings, providing plumbing & plastering work etc.
First proprietor George Agnew must have spent so much in building the establishment that he was forced to advertise for a buyer/lessee soon after he had opened it.
However, having failed to get a suitable buyer/lessee for his hotel after four months (Jul 1890 to Oct 1890), he himself was forced to apply for a Conditional Publican's License, while continuing to search for a buyer/lessee.
By the time Paul Buchholz had bought out the License on 16 Feb 1905, he had become the 12th Licensee in only 13½ years (exclusive of the 1st owner/Licensee, George Agnew).
The four-storey white stucco, brick and timber hotel in Cremona Road at the southern end of the Como railway bridge, has been a landmark of the Georges River foreshores since the 1880s.
In recent weeks controversy has raged in the Como community about plans by the owners to erect a four-storey building of 42 flats and a carpark behind the hotel.
(footnote - the article is mistaken in stating this version of the Como Hotel was Established in the 1880s - it should read from 1890).
Although the idea had been proposed in the early years, no road bridge was ever constructed across the George's River at Como.
The Como Hotel is an Edwardian styled hotel which was extensively rebuilt in 2001 after a large fire had destroyed the original 2nd version back in November 1996.
Picnickers & families with children are well catered for with the expanded play area facilities, lawns & seating in and around the Como Pleasure Grounds.
The site of the first school (with adjacent flagpole and school masters house) can clearly be seen in a photo of the area, taken circa 1894 AFTER the school had been closed down for good).
Como also features a number of parks, including Scylla Bay Oval (home to the successful Como-Jannali Crocodiles) and the historic Como Pleasure Grounds, home to the Como Swimming Club, with swimming baths and a freshwater pool.
It was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) on 12 February 1982 for shipments in excess of 60,000 copies.
The cover shows a computer terminal (apparently based on one made by the Hazeltine Corporation) displaying the heads of the four band members.
Alessandro Pavolini (September 27, 1903 – April 28, 1945) was an Italian politician, journalist, and essayist, notable for his involvement in the Fascist government, during World War II, and also, for his cruelty against the opponents of fascism.
A native of Florence, Pavolini was the son of Paolo Emilio Pavolini, a major scholar of Sanskrit and other Indo-European languages.
After joining Benito Mussolini's movement in Florence, he took part in several actions of the Blackshirts, and led a squad during the 1922 March on Rome – the moment when Fascism took over in Italy.
After becoming a member of the national PNF leadership in 1932, he moved on from local politics to become the president of the Fascist Confederation of Professionals and Artists, which propelled him to a leadership position in the Council of Corporations.
Minister of Popular Culture (Minculpop in short) meant in fact Ministry of Propaganda and Pavolini had an iron grip on what the press could or could not publish.
Minculpop also tackled the cinema industry (the famous and very creative Cinecitta studios in Rome were created by Mussolini's will to act as a counter against Hollywood productions; the Venice film festival is also a creation of the fascist period).
The Allied invasion of Sicily and the ousting of Mussolini in Rome brought Nazi intervention and the proclamation of a new fascist puppet state, the northern Italian Social Republic.
Pavolini was captured after a desperate escape attempt which saw him swimming across Lake Como and then trapped in a Mexican standoff over a half submerged rock.
Before burial, his body was hung upside down in public, along with Mussolini, Mussolini's mistress Clara Petacci, the former Party Secretary Achille Starace, Nicola Bombacci and others in Piazzale Loreto, Milan.
The New Hamburg station is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line, serving the communities of Wappingers Falls, New York, and the town of Poughkeepsie, New York.
Another notable fact about the station is that the distance between it and Poughkeepsie — — is the longest such distance between stations on the Hudson Line (on any Metro-North main line, in fact) and the third-longest system-wide.
The Hudson River Railroad was built through New Hamburg in 1849, opening on December 6, in order to expand the Troy and Greenbush Railroad from the Albany area to New York City.
Earlier attempts to build the railroad in 1848 were delayed by a fatal cholera outbreak among railroad workers between 1848 and 1849.
Old photographs show a grade crossing used to exist here; since the line was double-tracked in 1928, however, getting from one end of Main Street to the other has required a detour via nearby Bridge Street.
In April 1973, the Penn Central Railroad (PC) announced planned to close flag stops, including New Hamburg, Oscawanna, Manitou and Chelsea stations on the Hudson Line due to low ridership.
The stops were initially supposed to be closed on April 29, but the date was pushed back to May 9 due to a 90-day freeze imposed by Congress on the status of railroad crews.
This change was opposed by a group of New Hamburg commuters led by Frank Lucas, who attested that the station's usage was 15 to 20 daily passengers, not the 2 indicated by PC figures.
On June 7, 1973, the Penn Central Railroad announced that the station would close along with the Oscawanna, Manitou and Chelsea stations on the Hudson Line due to low ridership on July 2, 1973.
This announcement strongly disturbed two state legislators from Dutchess County, who stated that the MTA had indicated that no decision had been reached in a letter from the previous month, due to the inconvenience its closure would result in, and because of the short notice of the announcement.
Its proposal entailed the installation of new platforms, lighting, and parking for 100 cars, and the construction of a pedestrian overpass to replace the tunnel, which was boarded up due to flooding.
County Legilator Joseph Poillucci said that he would only be willing to sponsor the project if it could be cut to less than $100,000.
After the meeting, Lois Sackelos created the New Hamburg Station Citizen's Committee to determine the minimum investment needed to get the station into acceptable use and how to finance it.
It proposed eliminating the shelter for passengers, reducing the amount of lighting being called for, using the existing passenger tunnel with the installation of pumps, and the paving over of the existing platform instead of building a new one.
The MTA assured Sackelos that trains could start stopping immediately if funding was provided and if the MTA approved of the plan.
The MTA cut the cost estimate for the station in March 1980 from $180,000 to $65,000 for a scaled down plan, accepting the basic concept of the committee's plan.
The MTA called for the construction of a four-car platform for $25,000, while the group's proposal called for the construction of a three-car long platform for $9,000 to $10,000.
In April 1980, the MTA agreed to pay for the remainder of the station work if the County provided $15,000 for the parking lot.
In April 1980, the Dutchess County Legislature appropriated $3,000 to reopen the station, with an additional $15,000 to pave the parking lot, provide lighting and repair the tunnel under the tracks.
That month, County Legislator Joseph Poillucci requested that the station be reopened after receiving a petition signed by 800 people from the Sackelos' citizens group.
In April 1981, the Dutchess County Legislature held a vote on the contract between the MTA and Dutchess County to reopen the station.
It had taken a year to negotiate the contract, which requires that the county pay $15,000 to repair the stop prior to its reopening.
The station reopened on October 17, 1981 after the MTA took over the line after efforts led by New Hamburg resident Lois Sackelos, and County Legislator Joseph Poillucci.
The reopening of the station was appreciated by commuters, but not with all local residents, who believed that it was hurting the town's character as noise, traffic and litter increased.
Ridership during this period increased to 207 in 1985, 354 in 1987 and 401 in 1989, following a drastic increase in ridership on the Upper Hudson Line.
On July 12, 1988, Metro-North announced plans to build 80 new parking spaces around the station for $140,000 so the lot could accommodate 360 cars.
On January 19, 1993, Dutchess County's new LOOP bus service began stopping at New Hamburg to connect with five morning trains and six evening trains in order to ease station parking.
On March 22, 1994, Metro-North agreed to add more parking at the station after local officials threatened to delay $954 in railroad improvements.
On April 27, 1994, the Poughkeepsie Town Board passed a law prohibiting parking in New Hamburg Park as commuters had started parking there due to a parking shortage.
By June 40 spaces were to be added to the 452-space lot by repainting the lot, and additional 40 were to be added by December.
Kalākaua (November 16, 1836 – January 20, 1891), born David Laʻamea Kamananakapu Mahinulani Naloiaehuokalani Lumialani Kalākaua and sometimes called The Merrie Monarch, was the last king and penultimate monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi.
At his coronation and his birthday jubilee, the hula that had been banned from public in the kingdom became a celebration of Hawaiian culture.
Two of Kalākaua's projects, the statue of Kamehameha I and the rebuilding of ʻIolani Palace, were expensive endeavors but are popular tourist attractions today.
Extravagant expenditures and his plans for a Polynesian confederation played into the hands of annexationists who were already working towards a United States takeover of Hawaiʻi.
He had faith in his sister Liliʻuokalani's abilities to rule as regent when he named her as his heir-apparent following the death of their brother, William Pitt Leleiohoku, in 1877.
Kalākaua was born at 2:00 a.m. on November 16, 1836, to Caesar Kaluaiku Kapaʻakea and Analea Keohokālole in the grass hut compound belonging to his maternal grandfather ʻAikanaka, at the base of Punchbowl Crater in Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu.
From his biological parents, he descended from Keaweaheulu and Kameʻeiamoku, two of the five royal counselors of Kamehameha I during his conquest of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi.
Kameʻeiamoku, the grandfather of both his mother and father, was one of the royal twins alongside Kamanawa depicted on the Hawaiian coat of arms.
The second surviving child of a large family, his biological siblings included his elder brother James Kaliokalani, and younger siblings Lydia Kamakaʻeha (later renamed Liliʻuokalani), Anna Kaʻiulani, Kaʻiminaʻauao, Miriam Likelike and William Pitt Leleiohoku II.
Kinimaka would later marry Pai, a subordinate Tahitian chiefess, who treated Kalākaua as her own until the birth of her own son.
At the age of four, Kalākaua returned to Oʻahu to begin his education at the Chiefs' Children's School (later renamed the Royal School).
He and his classmates had been formally proclaimed by Kamehameha III as eligible for the throne of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
His classmates included his siblings James Kaliokalani and Lydia Kamakaʻeha and their thirteen royal cousins including the future kings Kamehameha IV, Kamehameha V and Lunalilo.
At the school, Kalākaua became fluent in English and the Hawaiian language and was noted for his fun and humor rather than his academic prowess.
In October 1840, their paternal grandfather Kamanawa II requested his grandsons to visit him on the night before his execution for the murder of his wife Kamokuiki.
The next morning the Cookes allowed the guardian of the royal children John Papa ʻĪʻī to bring Kaliokalani and Kalākaua to see Kamanawa for the last time.
Later sources, especially in biographies of Kalākaua indicated that the boys witnessed the public hanging of their grandfather at the gallows.
Historian Helena G. Allen noted the indifference the Cookes' had toward the request and the traumatic experience it must have been for the boys.
After the Cookes retired and closed the school in 1850, he briefly studied at Joseph Watt's English school for native children at Kawaiahaʻo and later joined the relocated day school (also called Royal School) run by Reverend Edward G. Beckwith.
He received his earliest military training under the Prussian officer, Major Francis Funk, who instilled an admiration of the Prussian military system.
In 1852, Prince Liholiho, who would later reign as Kamehameha IV, appointed Kalakaua as one of his aide-de-camp on his military staff.
In the army, Kalākaua served as first lieutenant in his father Kapaʻakea's militia of 240 men and later worked as military secretary to Major John William Elliott Maikai, the adjutant general of the army.
He was promoted to major and assigned to the personal staff of Kamehameha IV when the king ascended to the throne in 1855.
In the fall of 1860, when he was Chief Clerk of the kingdom's Department of the Interior, Kalākaua accompanied Prince Lot, high chief Levi Haʻalelea and Hawaii's Consul for Peru, Josiah C. Spalding, on a two-month tour of British Columbia and California.
He was also appointed to the House of Nobles, the upper body of the Legislature of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1858, serving there until 1873.
He served as 3rd Chief Clerk of the Department of the Interior in 1859 under Prince Lot who was Minister of the Interior before becoming king in 1863.
In 1870, he was admitted to the Hawaiian bar and was hired as a clerk in the Land Office, a post he held until he came to the throne.
Kalākaua was briefly engaged to marry Princess Victoria Kamāmalu, the younger sister of Kamehameha IV and Kamehameha V. However, the match was terminated when the princess decided to renew her on-and-off betrothal to her cousin Lunalilo.
Kalākaua would later fall in love with Kapiʻolani, the young widow of Bennett Nāmākēhā, the uncle of Kamehameha IV's wife Queen Emma.
Under the 1864 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaii, if the king did not appoint a successor, a new king would be appointed by the legislature to begin a new royal line of succession.
There were several candidates for the Hawaiian throne including Bernice Pauahi Bishop, who had been asked to succeed to the throne by Kamehameha V on his deathbed but had declined the offer.
Lunalilo was more popular, partly because he was a higher-ranking chief than Kalākaua and was the immediate cousin of Kamehameha V. Lunalilo was also the more liberal of the two—he promised to amend the constitution to give the people a greater voice in the government.
According to historian Ralph S. Kuykendall, there was an enthusiasm among Lunalilo's supporters to have him declared king without holding an election.
In response, Lunalilo issued a proclamation stating that, even though he believed himself to be the rightful heir to the throne, he would submit to an election for the good of the kingdom.
Lunalilo won with an overwhelming majority while Kalākaua performed extremely poorly receiving 12 votes out of the more than 11,000 votes cast.
During the ʻIolani Barracks mutiny by the Royal Guards of Hawaii in September 1873, Kalākaua was suspected to have incited the native guards to rebel against their white officers.
Lunalilo responded to the insurrection by disbanding the military unit altogether, leaving Hawaii without a standing army for the remainder of his reign.
On the other hand, Kalākaua and his political cohorts actively campaigned for him to be named successor in the event of the king's death.
She had strong ties to the United States through her marriage to wealthy American businessman Charles Reed Bishop who also served as one of Lunalilo's cabinet ministers.
When Lunalilo became ill several months after his election, Native Hawaiians counseled with him to appoint a successor to avoid another election.
He failed to act on the issue of a successor, and died on February 3, 1874, setting in motion a bitter election.
While Lunalilo did not think of himself as a Kamehameha, his election continued the Kamehameha line to some degree making him the last of the monarchs of the Kamehameha dynasty.
The election was held on February 12, and Kalākaua was elected by the Legislative Assembly by a margin of thirty-nine to six.
His election provoked the Honolulu Courthouse riot where supporters of Queen Emma targeted legislators who supported Kalākaua; thirteen legislators were injured.
The kingdom was without an army since the mutiny the year before and many police officers sent to quell the riot joined the mob or did nothing.
Unable to control the mob, Kalākaua and Lunalilo's former ministers had to request the aid of American and British military forces docked in the harbor to put down the uprising.
Given the unfavorable political climate following the riot, Kalākaua was quickly sworn in the following day, in a ceremony witnessed by government officials, family members, foreign representatives and some spectators.
This inauguration ceremony was held at Kīnaʻu Hale, the residence of the Royal Chamberlain, instead of Kawaiahaʻo Church, as was customary.
When Leleiohoku II died in 1877, Kalākaua changed the name of his sister Lydia Dominis to Liliuokalani and designated her as his heir-apparent.
From March to May 1874, he toured the main Hawaiian Islands of Kauai, Maui, Hawaii Island, Molokai and Oahu and visited the Kalaupapa Leprosy Settlement.
This free trade agreement between the United States and Hawaii, allowed sugar and other products to be exported to the US duty free.
He led the Reciprocity Commission consisting of sugar planter Henry A. P. Carter of C. Brewer & Co., Hawaii Chief Justice Elisha Hunt Allen, and Minister of Foreign Affairs William Lowthian Green.
The state dinner in his honor hosted by President Ulysses S. Grant was the first White House state dinner ever held.
Many in the Hawaii business community were willing to cede Pearl Harbor to the United States in exchange for the treaty, but Kalākaua was opposed to the idea.
Ratifications by both parties took two years and eleven months, and were exchanged on December 9, 1887, extending the agreement for an additional seven years.
The Education of Hawaiian Youths Abroad was a government-funded educational program during Kalākaua's reign to help students further their education beyond the institutions available in Hawaii at that time.
Between 1880 and 1887, Kalākaua selected 18 students for enrollment in a university or apprenticeship to a trade, outside the Kingdom of Hawaii.
King Kalākaua and his boyhood friends William Nevins Armstrong and Charles Hastings Judd, along with personal cook Robert von Oelhoffen, circumnavigated the globe in 1881.
There they spent four months opening contract labor dialogue in Japan and China, while sightseeing and spreading goodwill through nations that were potential sources for workers.
Their most productive immigration talks were in Portugal, where Armstrong stayed behind to negotiate an expansion of Hawaii's existing treaty with the government.
Before embarking on a train ride across the United States, Kalākaua visited Thomas Edison for a demonstration of electric lighting, discussing its potential use in Honolulu.
He had brought the small island nation to the attention of world leaders, but the trip had sparked rumors that the kingdom was for sale.
The first palace was a coral and wood structure which served primarily as office space for the kingdom's monarchs beginning with Kamehameha III in 1845.
By the time Kalākaua became king, the structure had decayed, and he ordered it destroyed to be replaced with a new building.
During the 1878 session of the legislature Finance Chairman Walter Murray Gibson, a political supporter of Kalākaua's, pushed through appropriations of $50,000 for the new palace.
December 31, 1879, the 45th birthday of Queen Kapiʻolani, was the date Kalākaua chose for the ceremonial laying of the cornerstone.
In between the laying of the cornerstone and the finishing of the new palace, Kalākaua had seen how other monarchs lived.
Immediately upon completion, the king invited all 120 members of Lodge Le Progres de L'Oceanie to the palace for a lodge meeting.
At the same time, the newspaper rebuked many of the recent actions and policies not only of Gibson but of the King's cabinet in general.
Following the ceremony, Kalākaua unveiled the Kamehameha Statue in front of Aliiolani Hale, the government building, with Gibson delivering the unveiling speech.
Originally intended for the centennial of Captain James Cook's landing in Hawaii, the statue, which was the brainchild of Gibson, had been cast by Thomas Ridgeway Gould but had been lost during shipment off the Falkland Islands.
By the time the replica arrived, the intended date had passed, and it was decided to unveil the statue as part of the coronation ceremony.
A further $7,000 was allocated for the second statue with an additional $4,000 from the insurance money spent to add four bas relief panels depicting historic moments during Kamehamena's reign.
Due to weather conditions, the planned illumination of the palace and grounds for the day of the coronation happened a week later, and the public was invited to attend.
At this time, United States gold coins had been accepted for any debt over $50; any debt under $50 was payable by US silver coins.
In 1880, the legislature passed a currency law that allowed it to purchase bullion for the United States mint to produce Hawaii's own coins.
When Hawaii's silver coins began circulating in December 1883, the business community was reluctant to accept them, fearing they would drive US gold coins out of the market.
He and Minister of the Interior Luther Aholo put forth a motion for the legislature to form a committee to oversee the birthday jubilee on September 20.
At sunrise, the kingdom's police force arrived at ʻIolani Palace to pay tribute, followed by the king's Cabinet, Supreme Court justices, the kingdom's diplomats, and officials of government departments.
Throughout the next two weeks, there was a regatta, a Jubilee ball, a luau, athletic competitions, a state dinner, and a marksmanship contest won by the Honolulu Rifles.
During the early part of his reign, Kalākaua restored the Household Guards which had been defunct since his predecessor Lunalilo abolished the unit in 1874.
Initially the king created three volunteer companies: the Leleiohoku Guard, a cavalry unit; the Prince's Own, an artillery unit; and the Hawaiian Guards, an infantry unit.
By the latter part of his reign, the army of the Kingdom of Hawaii consisted of six volunteer companies including: the King's Own, the Queen's Own, the Prince's Own, the Leleiohoku Guard, the Mamalahoa Guard and the Honolulu Rifles, and the regular troops of the King's Household Guard.
The ranks of these regiments were composed mainly of Hawaiian and part-Hawaiian officers with a few white officers including his brother-in-law John Owen Dominis.
The king and the governor of Oahu also had their own personal staff of military officers with the ranks of colonel and major.
Dominis was appointed lieutenant general and commander-in-chief and other officers were commissioned while the king was made the supreme commander and generalissimo of the Hawaiian Army.
The idea of Hawaii's involvement in the internal affairs of Polynesian nations had been around at least two decades before Kalākaua's election, when Australian Charles St Julian volunteered to be a political liaison to Hawaii in 1853.
Kalākaua's interest in forming a Polynesian coalition, with him at the head, was influenced by both Walter M. Gibson and Italian soldier of fortune Celso Caesar Moreno.
In 1883, he introduced the approved legislation to convey in writing to foreign governments that Hawaii fully supported the independence of Polynesian nations.
In 1885, Gibson dispatched Minister to the United States Henry A. P. Carter to Washington D. C. and Europe to convey Hawaii's intentions towards Polynesia.
He pushed for direct intervention into a political upheaval in Samoa, where the German Empire backed rebels under their leader Tamasese in an attempt to overthrow King Malietoa Laupepa.
United States special commissioner to Samoa, George H. Bates advised Kalākaua that Hawaii should mind its own business and stay out of Samoan affairs.
Instead, Hawaii sent a delegation headed by John E. Bush to Samoa, where Samoan King Malietoa Laupepa signed a Samoan-Hawaiian confederation treaty on February 17, 1887.
Bush also presented Malietoa with the Royal Order of the Star of Oceania, which Kalakaua had created to honor the monarchs and chiefs of the Polynesian confederation.
He stated that King Kalākaua appointed cabinet members not for their ability to do the job, but for their ability to bend to his will.
Dole placed much of the blame on Gibson, and accused Kalākaua of taking a bribe of $71,000 from Tong Kee to grant an opium license, an action done via one of the king's political allies Junius Kaʻae.
Kaʻae had suggested to rice planter Tong Kee, also known as Aki, that a monetary gift to the king might help him acquire it.
The license was eventually awarded to Chun who withheld his payment until the license was actually signed over to him on December 31, 1886.
However, other liabilities and outstanding debt forced him to sign his debt over to trustees who would control all of Kalākaua's private estates and Crown Land revenues.
Anticipating a coup d'état, the king took measures to save himself by dismissing Gibson and his entire cabinet on June 28.
The new appointed cabinet members were William Lowthian Green as prime minister and minister of finance, Clarence W. Ashford as attorney general, Lorrin A. Thurston as minister of the interior, and Godfrey Brown as minister of foreign affairs.
He felt betrayed by people he once trusted and had told her that everywhere he went he was under constant surveillance.
The Bayonet Constitution allowed the King to appoint his cabinet but placed that cabinet under the sole authority of the legislature.
The new constitution restricted suffrage only to Hawaiian, American or European men residing in Hawaii, if they were 21 years old, literate with no back unpaid taxes, and would take an oath to support the law of the land.
By placing a new minimum qualifier of $3,000 in property ownership and a minimum income of $600 for voters of the House of Nobles, the new constitution disqualified many poor Native Hawaiians from voting for half of the legislature.
On July 30, 1889, however, he and Robert Napuʻuako Boyd, another state-sponsored student, led a rebellion aimed at restoring the 1864 constitution, and, thereby, the king's power.
Kalākaua, possibly fearing Wilcox intended to force him to abdicate in favor of his sister, was not in the palace when the insurrection happened.
Minister of Foreign Affairs John Adams Cummins reported the trip was solely for the king's health and would not extend beyond California.
Local newspapers and British commissioner Wodehouse worried the king might go farther east to Washington, DC, to negotiate a continued cession of Pearl Harbor to the United States after the expiration of the reciprocity treaty or possible annexation of the kingdom.
His sister Liliʻuokalani, after unsuccessfully dissuading him from departing, wrote he meant to discuss the McKinley Tariff with the Hawaiian ambassador to the United States HenryA.P.Carter in Washington.
Traveling throughout Southern California and Northern Mexico, he suffered a minor stroke in Santa Barbara and was rushed back to San Francisco.
He was given a tonic of Vin Mariani that got him on his feet, and was accompanied to the rites by an escort from the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.
Shortly before his death his voice was recorded on a phonograph cylinder, which is now in the Bernice P. Bishop Museum.
After a state funeral in California and a second one in Honolulu, the king's remains were buried in the Royal Mausoleum at Mauna ʻAla on February 15, 1891.
In a ceremony officiated by his sister Liliʻuokalani on June 24, 1910, his remains, and those of his family, were transferred to the underground Kalākaua Crypt after the main mausoleum building had been converted into a chapel.
Kalākaua's reign is generally regarded as the first Hawaiian Renaissance, for both his influence on Hawaii's music, and for other contributions he made to reinvigorate Hawaiian culture.
He issued an invitation to all Hawaiians with knowledge of the old meles and chants to participate in the coronation, and arranged for musicologist A. Marques to observe the celebrations.
Kalākaua's cultural legacy lives on in the Merrie Monarch Festival, a large-scale annual hula competition in Hilo, Hawaii, begun in 1964 and named in his honor.
The Hawaiian Board of Health (different from the governmental Board of Health) passed by the 1886 legislature consisted of five Native Hawaiians, appointed by Kalākaua, who oversaw the licensing and regulation of the traditional practice of native healing arts.
He also appointed Emma Kaili Metcalf Beckley Nakuina as the first Native Hawaiian curator of the Hawaiian National Museum and increased funding for the institution.
The original Hale Naua had not been active since Kamehameha I, when it had functioned as a genealogical research organization for claims of royal lineage.
When Kalākaua reactivated it, he expanded its purpose to encompass Hawaiian culture as well as modern-day arts and sciences and included women as equals.
The ranks of the society grew to more than 200 members, and was a political support for Kalākaua that lasted until his death in 1891.
The ukulele was introduced to the Hawaiian islands during the reign of Kalākaua, by Manuel Nunes, José do Espírito Santo, and Augusto Dias, Portuguese immigrants from Madeira and Cape Verde.
According to American journalist Mary Hannah Krout and Hawaii resident Isobel Osbourne Strong, wife of artist Joseph Dwight Strong and stepdaughter of Robert Louis Stevenson, he would often play the ukulele and perform meles for his visitors, accompanied by his personal musical group Kalākaua's Singing Boys (aka King's Singing Boys).
The King David Kalakaua Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 under its former name U.S. Post Office, Customhouse, and Courthouse.
In 1985, a bronze statue of Kalākaua was donated to the City and County of Honolulu to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the arrival of the first Japanese laborers after the king's visit to Japan.
The statue was designed and created by musician Palani Vaughan, architect Leland Onekea and Native Hawaiian sculptor Sean Kekamakupaa Kaonohiokalani Lee Loy Browne.
It is from Grand Central Terminal, the travel time from which varies depending on run, ranging from 1 hour and 10 minutes (super-express runs) to 1 hour and 15–18 minutes (trains making all local stops north of ) and 1 hour and 25–30 minutes (trains making all local stops north of Croton-Harmon and some lower Hudson stops, such as and ).
It is a wheelchair accessible station, featuring wheelchair ramps, an elevator to the train platform, and a high-level island platform which is level with the doors on the train (for many years, most Upper Hudson Line stations had platforms that were lower than the train doors).
In September 4, 1866, the Dutchess and Columbia Railroad was established with the hope of running from the south side of Fishkill Creek northeast and north to meet the New York and Harlem Railroad at Craryville, New York.
The first station at Dutchess Junction, which was shared by the NYC&HR and D&C was burned down in April 1876, and rebuilt.
In 1881 the New York and New England Railroad built a ferry port near Fishkill Landing station, and added a connecting spur along the north side of the Fishkill Creek (now known as the Beacon Secondary) leading to what became Wickopee Junction, and turned it over to the ND&C.
Dutchess Junction station would face another fire in 1893, and was replaced by little more than a sheltered shed which lasted only into the 1950s.
The New York and New England ferry terminal was bought by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, along with the rest of the NY&NE in 1898.
In 1905 the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad acquired the ND&C, and in 1907 merged it into the Central New England Railway, which itself was acquired by the New Haven Railroad system in 1904, and allowed to operate under its own name until 1927.
Between 1913 and 1915, the original HRR line was realigned, and the station was rebuilt in order to accommodate both the New York Central Railroad Hudson Division, as well as the connecting spur of the ND&C along the north side of Fishkill Creek.
Since Fishkill Landing was consolidated into the City of Beacon in 1913, the new station would be called Beacon as well.
By 1916, the ND&C was moved from the southeast side of Fishkill Creek to the north side of the creek, and the original section between Dutchess Junction and Wickopee Junction was gradually abandoned in the 1930s.
The decline in railroad service during the post-WW II era affected Beacon station as it did with much of the country, but other forces also put the station at risk.
Winter freezes along the Hudson (including one that stranded a ferry boat in the Hudson River), and the construction of the Newburgh–Beacon Bridge brought ferry service at the station to an end.
New York Central merged with their long time rival Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968 to form Penn Central Railroad, then acquired the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in 1969, including the former ND&C.
Amtrak took over intercity passenger service in 1971, but Beacon station continued to serve only Penn Central Hudson Line commuter trains which by that time ran to Poughkeepsie, subsidized by the MTA.
A fire in 1976 destroyed the station built by New York Central in 1913, which was demolished later than year to create more parking capacity.
Conrail took over Penn Central in 1976 continued to operate Hudson Line trains until Metro-North Commuter Railroad assumed operation in 1983.
On October 17, 2005, ferry service to the station from Newburgh resumed after 42 years in which the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge had sufficed to bring people across the river.
This has allowed the MTA to essentially increase the available parking for the station with little new construction due to the availability of land on the Newburgh waterfront.
Rail and ferry service at Beacon was severely disrupted by Hurricane Irene in 2011 and Hurricane Sandy in 2012, but not obliterated.
Gymea is located 26 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of the Sutherland Shire.
The Gymea Lily has been adopted as a symbol of the area and features on the crest of many local organisations.
Development in the area has eradicated most of the lilies but many can still be found, a few kilometres south, in the Royal National Park.
Over the last decade it has become a popular shopping and 'café culture' district with many cafés, restaurants, boutiques and gourmet food shops opened along Gymea Bay Road.
Gymea railway station is on the Cronulla branch of the Illawarra railway line, part of the Sydney Trains network, which provides regular rail services to the city.
The suburb has one public primary school, Gymea North Public School; a Catholic primary school, St Catherine Labouré Primary; a secondary school, Gymea Technology High School; and the Sydney Montessori School for pre-primary, primary and secondary students.
Many children in Gymea attend schools in Gymea Bay, especially Gymea Bay Public School(the largest primary school in the Sutherland Shire), and Kirrawee.
Gymea is home to the Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Arts Centre, which features art galleries, art studios, a theatrette, gardens, meeting rooms, gallery shop and cafe.
Like many suburbs in the Sutherland Shire, Gymea maintains an active culture of youth sport and has well-established cricket, rugby league, swimming (Gymea Bay Amateur Swimming Club), football (Gymea United FC, which is currently the largest club in the Oceania region), and netball clubs.
Australian writer Scot McPhie named his collection of poetry published in 1999 'Gymea', after living near the suburb in the 1990s.
The New South Wales Corps (sometimes called The Rum Corps) was formed in England in 1789 as a permanent regiment to relieve the New South Wales Marine Corps, who had accompanied the First Fleet to Australia.
The regiment was formed in England in June 1789 as a permanent unit to relieve the New South Wales Marine Corps, who had accompanied the First Fleet to Australia.
Although drafts were sent from Britain to reinforce the regiment throughout its time in Australia, full strength was never to exceed 500.
A fourth company was raised from those Marines wishing to remain in New South Wales under Captain George Johnston, who had been Governor Arthur Phillip's aide-de-camp.
After the poor crops of 1793 he cut the rations of the convicts but not those of the Corps, overturning Phillip's policy of equal rations for all.
In a connived attempt to improve agricultural production and make the colony more self-sufficient, Grose turned away from collective farming and made generous land grants to officers of the Corps.
Grose also relaxed Phillip's prohibition on trading of rum (sometimes a generic term for any form of distilled beverage, usually made from wheat), usually from Bengal.
The colony, like many British territories at the time, was short of coins, and rum soon became the medium of trade.
Due to poor health Grose returned to England in December 1794 and Captain William Paterson assumed temporary command until a permanent replacement, Governor John Hunter, arrived in September 1795.
Paterson had obtained his commission with the backing of Sir Joseph Banks because he was interested in natural history and would explore and collect samples for Banks and the Royal Society.
Governor Hunter attempted unsuccessfully to use the troops of the Corps to guard imported rum and stop the officers from buying it up.
Attempts to stop the importation were also thwarted by the failure of other governments to co-operate and by the Corps' officers chartering of a Danish ship to bring in a large shipment of rum from India.
Hunter also tried to start up a public store with goods from England to provide competition and stabilise the price of goods, but Hunter was not a good businessman and supplies were too erratic.
He also issued an order restricting the amount of convict labour that officers could use, but again had no means to enforce it.
In 1799 Paterson, now a Lieutenant Colonel, returned from England with orders to stamp out the trading in rum by officers of the Corps.
In 1800 he charged Major George Johnston, who had also served as Hunter's aide-de-camp, with giving a sergeant part payment in rum at an exorbitant rate.
The English courts decided that colonial affairs were not a matter for them and, as all the evidence and witnesses were in Sydney, that any trial should be held there.
They also decided that, as proper court martial could not be constituted in Sydney, no further action should be taken against Johnston.
He had the power to levy an excise duty on alcohol, and the Transit Board now required all ships to lodge a bond which was forfeit for disobeying the Governor's orders, which included the prohibition of the landing of more than 500 gallons of rum.
King also encouraged private importers and traders, opened a public brewery in 1804, and introduced a schedule of values for Indian copper and Spanish pieces of eight which were used as currency; there was still a serious problem keeping the coin in the colony despite it being valued higher than its face value.
King's actions were not wholly effective but they still antagonised officers of the Corps, and like Hunter he was the subject of pamphlets and attacks.
Late on 4 March 1804, a great number of Irish rebels rose up at the government farm at Castle Hill, armed themselves with muskets and pikes from surrounding farms, and planned to sack Parramatta and take Sydney Town.
Some say they then intended to take ships and sail back to Ireland, others say the intention was to declare the Republic of New Ireland two weeks later on St. Patrick's Day.
An alarm at around 11pm raised Major Johnston from his sleep; he then led 29 soldiers of the New South Wales Corps on a forced march from their barracks at Annandale to Parramatta.
They arrived around dawn and then later in the morning, with 50 militia of the Loyal Volunteers, they pursued the rebels who were now heading to Green Hills, today's Windsor.
At a feigned meeting with the rebels aided by a priest as lure, Johnston took the ringleaders hostage and when they and their men refused to surrender, to the shouts of 'death or liberty' the troops quickly put down the revolt.
Governor King highly commended Major Johnston for his actions, even though King had to intervene directly to stop a military kangaroo court from hanging one in ten of the rebels.
At midnight on 4 March, Captain Daniel Woodriff of landed 150 of his crew to assist the New South Wales Corps and Governor King.
Governor King had been requesting a replacement, for at least a year, and eventually Governor William Bligh was appointed in 1805.
Although the economy had developed and diversified somewhat by 1806, Bligh arrived determined to bring the Corps, and especially John Macarthur, to heel, and stop their trading in rum.
Having arrived in the colony in December 1809 with the 73rd Regiment of Foot, which was to take over from the 102nd Regiment of Foot, Governor Lachlan Macquarie was able to control the rum trade more effectively, introducing and enforcing a licensing system.
The construction of Sydney Hospital was entirely funded by granting a monopoly on the import of rum to the contractors, who were the merchants Alexander Riley and Garnham Blaxcell, and the colonial surgeon D'Arcy Wentworth, and troops were used to prohibit the landing of rum anywhere but at the hospital dock.
A few of the officers and long-serving privates in the 102nd Regiment were transferred to Macquarie's 73rd regiment, bringing it up to near full strength.
In England, most of the returnees went to Veteran or Garrison battalions, most officers ending up in the 8th Royal Veteran Battalion.
Detachments of the regiment remained on both sides of the border between the British colony of New Brunswick and the US State of Maine after the war's end in December 1814 at Moose Island, modern day Eastport, Maine, USA.
After the end of the wars against Napoleonic France and the United States, the British Army disbanded many units for the sake of economy.
The regiment was the last British unit to occupy the United States; the last detachments returned to Chatham in England, where the regiment was disbanded on 24 March 1818.
It was the first Kraftwerk LP to be created using predominantly digital musical instruments, although the finished product was still recorded onto analog master tapes.
The final mixing was done at Right Track Studios in New York together with DJ François Kevorkian and Ron St. Germain.
The side is divided into three tracks, but they may be taken to be one long piece of three variations with recurring elements.
However, shortly after this, Ralf Hütter suffered a cycling accident on the Rhine Dam and was apparently unable to work with the band for some time.
By this time, Hütter & Schneider had regained the rights to the recording following the expiration of the group's original contract with Philips Records.
When work did recommence on the sessions, the band was reportedly concerned that the album's production was not of a sufficiently ground-breaking quality to match its reputation as sonic innovators.
The final mix of the album was completely redone from scratch at least once, with Hütter eventually travelling to New York with the master tapes to work on them with producer François Kevorkian.
Kraftwerk are notoriously secretive about their activities, but a fairly reliable and consistent picture can be gleaned from interviews given by the various band members.
Though both singles went to on the Billboard dance chart in 1987, neither of the singles performed well in the general pop charts.
Earlier, MTV Europe had already included elements from the original song and the video in the title graphics for MTV's Greatest Hits.
The animation, which was complex for its time, was created by Rebecca Allen, using state-of-the-art facial animation software developed by the New York Institute of Technology.
However, when EMI was acquired by Universal Music in 2013, all of Kraftwerk's oeuvre went to Warner with its subsequent purchase of Parlophone.
Band member Wolfgang Flür is included in a subsequent general list of personnel, but is not credited with a musical or production role in these recordings.
It is located at the southern end of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of the City of Sydney.
Haymarket is adjacent to Darling Harbour and is surrounded by the suburbs of Ultimo, Chippendale, Surry Hills and the Sydney CBD.
Sydney's produce markets were located in Haymarket from the early 20th century through to the 1980s when they were moved to a new site at Flemington.
The 'Market City' complex contains the markets, The Peak apartment building, a modern shopping centre featuring a food court, restaurants, boutiques, specialty shops and entertainment options, such as a cinema and amusement centre.
The outer walls of the original vegetable market, built in 1909, were preserved and restored as an example of Edwardian architecture.
They were part of the original city markets—designed by city architect C.Broderick—which were bounded by Hay Street, Quay Street and Thomas Street.
The new markets included the Sydney City Markets building (Ultimo Road), designed by George McRae and built in 1910, and the Sydney Markets Bell Tower (Quay Street), built in 1911 and restored by the State Bank in 1985.
Haymarket became a commercial and community centre for the Chinese community who lived in large numbers in this area and nearby areas such as Surry Hills.
With the relocation of the produce market to Flemington and outflow of residents to the suburbs, the commercial role of Haymarket declined.
This included the construction of Chinese paifang-style gates, with stone lions, on Dixon Street, and other Chinese-style street furniture, as well as encouraging Chinese restaurants to open along Dixon Street.
Despite significant demographic change due to successive waves of immigration from Asia, today's Chinatown remains a centre for Asian restaurants and other businesses.
More than half of Haymarket residents were attending an educational institution, with the majority of these people attending a tertiary or technical institution.
The most common other countries of birth were Thailand 20.7%, China 18.9%, Indonesia 11.5%, Korea, Republic of (South) 5.0% and Vietnam 2.1%.
47.8% of households renting their accommodation were paying more than 30% of household income as rent, compared to the NSW average of 12.9% and the Australian average of 11.5%.
Haymarket is also serviced by the Dulwich Hill Line of Sydney's light rail network with stations at Central, Capitol Square and Paddy's Markets.
A short section is not used by the light rail having been converted to The Goods Line pedestrian link to Railway Square and Central station.
The Breakneck Ridge station is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line, serving campers and hikers traveling to and from Breakneck Ridge, north of Cold Spring, New York and south of Beacon, NY.
It is served by twelve trains daily on those days: six northbound to in the morning and early afternoon, and six southbound to Grand Central Terminal in the afternoon and early evening.
This station has two small, wooden low-level side platforms each long enough for one door of one car to receive or discharge passengers.
It is located off an embankment from New York State Route 9D, with only one sign (on the east side of the track), merely a small path leading to the overpass and then down to the tracks about north of the main parking area for the Breakneck Ridge hiking trail.
In June 2017, the Town of Fishkill requested a portion of Metro-North's property to build and operate a multi-use trail from New York State Route 9D to the Hudson Line.
It would run from the Breakneck Ridge Trailhead before running north to the pedestrian overpass that provides access to the inbound side of Metro-North's Breakneck Ridge station.
Over the past few years, more people have been using the Breakneck Ridge station, resulting in an increase in weekend service at the station.
The stop and trailhead was initially planned to close for reconstruction at the beginning of 2018, with reopening planned for April 2019.
However, by May 2019, the station's closure and reconstruction, along with that of the rest of the Breakneck Ridge trailhead, was slated for mid-2020 at the earliest.
Jennifer Louise Macklin (born 29 December 1953) is an Australian former politician who was a member of the House of Representatives from 1996 until 2019, representing the Division of Jagajaga for the Labor Party.
She was a minister in the Rudd and Gillard Governments from 2007 to 2013, having previously been her party's deputy leader from 2001 to 2006.
She spent time in Japan as a student before graduating from the University of Melbourne with an honours degree in economics.
Macklin was a researcher at the Australian National University in 1976–78, an economics research specialist with the Parliamentary Library in Canberra 1978–81, Research Coordinator at the Labour Resource Centre in Melbourne 1981–1985, an adviser to the Victorian Minister for Health 1985–88, director of the federal government's National Health Strategy 1990–93 and director of the Australian Urban and Regional Development Review 1993–1995.
She was a member of a Canberra discussion group, the Red Fems, which presented a paper to the Women and Labour Conference in 1980.
On her election to Parliament as a member of the Australian Labor Party, Macklin was immediately elected a member of the Opposition Shadow Cabinet, where she served in a number of roles, including Shadow Minister for Aged Care, Social Security and the Status of Women.
Macklin remained Deputy Leader after Crean's replacement as leader by Mark Latham in December 2003, and also under Kim Beazley following Latham's resignation in January 2005.
On 1 December 2006, Macklin's position as deputy leader of the ALP came under threat after Kim Beazley called for a spill of all the leadership positions, in a bid to end growing speculation over the issue.
Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Kevin Rudd, and Shadow Minister for Health, Julia Gillard, announced their intentions to run against Beazley and Macklin as a team for the positions of leader and deputy leader respectively of the party.
On the day of the ballot, Macklin effectively stepped down from the position, choosing not to contest the deputy leadership after Kevin Rudd was elected as the new party leader.
Macklin was once again elected to the Shadow frontbench, and was appointed Shadow Minister for Families and Community Services and Shadow Minister for Indigenous Affairs and Reconciliation.
In this capacity she oversaw the passage and implementation of Australia's first national Paid Parental Leave Scheme, the Closing the Gap framework to address the life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, a historic rise in the pensions and a number of other significant changes to social policy and family support payments.
In 2011, Macklin was given the additional responsibility of Minister for Disability Reform, overseeing the design and implementation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
Macklin was instrumental in the National Apology to the Stolen Generations, delivered by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in February 2008 and the implementation of the Close the Gap Framework, the first comprehensive strategy for tackling Indigenous disadvantage in Australia's history.
On 23 November 2011, the Stronger Futures Policy legislation was introduced by Macklin to address key issues such as unemployment, school attendance, alcohol abuse, child protection, safety, housing and land reforms in the Northern Territory.
On 10 August 2011, Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Minister Macklin announced the Labor Government’s support for a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) a major social policy reform designed to ensure that people with disability received the care and support they need.
The rollout of the NDIS commenced in 2013 at four launch sites around Australia, with full rollout to be completed in 2019.
Macklin was instrumental in the success of negotiations with states and territories, which resulted in a nationwide agreement on the NDIS.
Prior to its launch on 1 January 2011, Australia was one of just two developed countries without a national paid parental leave scheme.
An independent review of the scheme in 2014 found that more than 75 per cent of parents accessing paid parental leave were on incomes of less than $70,000 a year.
In the 2015 Budget the Abbott Government announced a measure to end so called 'double dipping' of paid parental leave by restricting 80,000 new parents from accessing both employer and government paid parental leave schemes.
The introduction of Dad and Partner Pay (DAPP) on 1 January 2013, established two weeks paid leave to fathers and partners to help them take time off work to support new mothers in their caring role and be involved in the care of their newborn baby.
An independent report conducted by the University of Queensland in 2014 found that DAPP reduced the barriers to fathers taking leave following a birth.
Macklin was also the steward for the National Apology to the Forgotten Australians and former Child Migrants, in her capacity as Families Minister.
Former Prime Minister Rudd gave the Apology on 16 November 2009 on behalf of the Australian Government to over half a million children who were taken from their families and placed in institutions where they were often victims of abuse.
Macklin announced her retirement from politics on 6 July 2018, revealing she would not stand as a candidate for the seat of Jagajaga at the 2019 federal election.
Goran Jelisić (; born 7 June 1968, Bijeljina, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia) is a Bosnian Serb war criminal who was found guilty of having committed crimes against humanity and for violating the customs of war by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) at the Luka camp in Brčko during the Bosnian War.
He was acquitted on the charge of genocide as the court did not believe the prosecution had proved this beyond reasonable doubt.
On 29 May 2003, Jelisić was transferred to Italy to serve the remainder of his sentence with credit for time served since his 1998 arrest.
On 21 December 2011, his wife, Monika Karan-Ilić (aka Monika Simeunović), was detained on suspicion of having committed war crimes against non-Serbs at the Luka camp.
She was found guilty of having participated in torture, inhumane treatment and infliction of suffering on Bosniak and Croat civilians in the Luka camp and Brčko police station between May and June 1992, when she was a teenager.
It recognizes a distinguished example of meritorious public service by a newspaper or news site through the use of its journalistic resources, which may include editorials, cartoons, photographs, graphics, video and other online material, and may be presented in print or online or both.
It is the only prize in the program that awards a gold medal and is the most prestigious one for a newspaper to win.
As with other Pulitzer Prizes, a committee of jurors narrows the field to three nominees, from which the Pulitzer Board generally picks a winner and finalists.
There were four years for which no award was given, and two prizes were awarded in the years 1967, 1990, and 2006.
A reporter (rather than a publication) was first named in 1947; recently that has been more common and as many as three reporters have been named.
Holsworthy is a suburb in south-western Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia 31 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Liverpool.
Originally the land belonged to the Tharawal people but following the arrival of the First Fleet, indigenous people were pushed back from their traditional lands in the area surrounding Sydney.
In 1795, explorers George Bass and Matthew Flinders explored the Georges River and in 1798, grants of land for farming were made in the area.
By 1815, Governor Macquarie declared a state of open warfare against aborigines in the Georges River area and forbade them carrying weapons within a mile of any British settlement.
During World War I it was home to a large internment camp for civilians of German or Austro-Hungarian background, the camp absorbed prisoners from the infamous Torrens Island Concentration Camp in 1915.
The streets are named with a military theme, such as Tarakan, Bardia, Wewak, Lae, Brunei, Finschhafen, Madang, Gona, Anzac, Light Horse, Infantry, Cavalry, Sabre, Gunners Row and Trooper Row.
Being inland from the coast, and away from Sydney City, Holsworthy receives up to 500mm (20 in) less precipitation than coastal areas, just away.
There were a high number of families with children (76.2%) and the median age of Holsworthy residents (30) was eight years younger than the national median.
A congregation of Lifegate Community Church (Holsworthy & Wattle Grove) meets weekly in the Wattle Grove Primary Public School Hall on Cressbrook Drive (Holsworthy Church on google maps).
The Cold Spring station is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line, located in Cold Spring, New York.
It is 52.5 miles (85 km) from Grand Central Terminal, and travel time to Grand Central is approximately one hour and 21 minutes.
The Hudson River Railroad was built through Cold Spring in 1851 in order to expand the Troy and Greenbush Railroad from the Albany area to New York City.
A pedestrian tunnel was added in 1929 connecting the two sections of Main Street, and a road bridge over the tracks was built in 1930, but the station was closed to passengers in 1954, despite remaining in use.
As with all stations along the Hudson Line, it was converted into a Penn Central Railroad station upon the merger of NYC with Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968.
Bankruptcy for Penn Central in 1970 forced them to turn passenger service over to the MTA in 1972, the same year that the former station house was converted into a restaurant after spending 18 years as a car dealership.
MTA control of passenger service continued through the period when it was taken over by Conrail in 1976, and then by Metro-North Railroad in 1983.
Cold Spring station was one of the last stations within the system to be rebuilt and relocated with high-level platforms, a pedestrian bridge, and elevators.
The current Cold Spring station is located slightly south of the old one, still standing at the foot of Cold Spring's Main Street.
Walkways on both sides of the tracks connect the old and new station, and the pedestrian tunnel built by New York Central Railroad is still in use today by both commuters and local residents.
Kneeboarding is an aquatic sport where the participant is towed on a buoyant, convex, and hydrodynamically shaped board at a planing speed, most often behind a motorboat.
In the usual configuration of a tow-sport kneeboard, riders kneel on their heels on the board, and secure themselves to the deck with an adjustable Velcro strap over their thighs.
The advantages of kneeboarding versus other tow-sports seems to be an easier learning curve and a sense of being closer to the water when falls occur.
Others tried kneeling on surfboards and some used purpose-built kneeboards designed specifically for riding waves, but the water ski kneeboard did not emerge as a product until the 1970s.
In 1973, John Taylor, a former Knee Ski employee, decided to make and sell his own boards under the name of Glide Slide.
Danny Churchill, quarter mile speed ski record holder in 1974 and former Glide Slide employee, bought the company in the wake of the oil crisis.
Churchill is most commonly known for popularizing the sport through advertising and promotions in the newly released full color water ski publications of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Founded by Roland Hillier of Maitland, Florida, a former World Overall and Slalom Champion; National Slalom and Trick Champion; Masters Overall Water Ski Champion and three time Intercollegiate Overall Champion.
In cableway competition, Roland designed the trick event which also included the use of small ramps for doing spins and flips.
The next year, Sea World of Orlando approached the IKA to hold a National Championship at their park, however, the original sponsors to the IKA would not be allowed to participate and Hillier felt strongly that supporters should be included and did not accept.
The American Kneeboarding Association (AKA) was founded by another group of people after the International Kneeboard Association rejected the Sea World offer, and created their own form of competition.
Many were disappointed at the lack of new compositions and, moreover, the production values of the re-recorded tracks did not strike many listeners as particularly cutting edge, something which Kraftwerk had previously been renowned for.
Production is credited to Ralf Hütter, Florian Schneider, and Fritz Hilpert, the latter of whom had replaced percussionist and stage set designer Wolfgang Flür after Flür left the group in 1987.
A newly remastered edition of the album was released by EMI Records, Mute Records, and Astralwerks Records on CD, digital download, and heavyweight vinyl in October–November 2009.
Anthony John Abbott (born 4 November 1957) is an Australian politician who served as the 28th Prime Minister of Australia from 2013 to 2015 and leader of the Liberal Party from 2009 to 2015.
Abbott was born in London to an Australian mother and a British father, and moved to Sydney at the age of two.
He studied economics and law at the University of Sydney, and then attended The Queen's College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar, studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics.
After graduating from Oxford, Abbott briefly trained as a Roman Catholic seminarian, and later worked as a journalist, manager, and political adviser.
In 1992, he was appointed director of Australians for Constitutional Monarchy, a position he held until his election to parliament at the 1994 Warringah by-election.
In 2003, Abbott became Minister for Health and Ageing, retaining this position until the defeat of the Howard Government at the 2007 election.
Initially serving in the shadow cabinets of Brendan Nelson and then Malcolm Turnbull, Abbott resigned from the front bench in November 2009, in protest against Turnbull's support for the Rudd Government's proposed Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS).
Forcing a leadership ballot on the subject, Abbott defeated Turnbull by 42 votes to 41, to become the party's leader and Leader of the Opposition.
Abbott went on to lead the Coalition to victory in the 2013 election and was sworn in as the 28th Prime Minister of Australia on 18 September 2013.
On 14 September 2015, Abbott was defeated in a vote for the Liberal leadership (54 votes to 44) by Malcolm Turnbull, who replaced Abbott as Prime Minister the following day.
After his defeat in the party leadership, he returned to the backbench and held his seat of Warringah at the 2016 federal election.
She immigrated to Australia from the Netherlands in 1912 with her five-year-old son, Anthony Bredschneijder (later to take his stepfather's surname Peters).
Abbott attended primary school at St Aloysius' College at Milson's Point, before completing his secondary school education at St Ignatius' College, Riverview, both Jesuit schools.
He graduated with a Bachelor of Economics (BEc) in 1979 and a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) in 1981 from the University of Sydney.
Influenced by his chaplain at St Ignatius', Father Emmet Costello, he then attended The Queen's College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar, where in June 1983 he graduated as a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) and on 21 October 1989 proceeded by seniority to Master of Arts.
A student newspaper editor with political views opposed to those of Abbott took him to court for indecent assault after he touched her during a student debate; the charges were dismissed by the court.
Abbott organised rallies in support of Governor-General John Kerr after he dismissed the Whitlam Government in November 1975, as well as a pro-Falklands War demonstration during his time at Oxford.
A. Santamaria, a Catholic layman who led a movement against Communism within the Australian labour movement in the 1950s, culminating in the 1955 Labor Party split and the formation of the Democratic Labor Party.
He wrote the foreword to a novelisation of Santamaria's life written by Alan Reid, and in 2015 launched a biography of Santamaria written by Gerard Henderson.
And I thought then that the best way in which I could be a 'man for others' was to become a priest.
He did not hold Australian citizenship from birth, as at the time Australian citizenship by descent could only be acquired from the father.
On 12 October 1993, he renounced his British citizenship to be eligible to run for parliament under section 44 of the constitution.
He went on to lead the Coalition to victory at the 2013 election and was sworn in as the 28th Prime Minister of Australia on 18 September 2013.
Abbott lost a Liberal Party leadership spill on 14 September 2015, and was replaced by Malcolm Turnbull as leader of the party and Prime Minister of Australia.
While deciding his future career path, Abbott developed friendships with senior figures in the New South Wales Labor Party, and was encouraged by Bob Carr, as well as Johno Johnson, to join the Labor Party and run for office.
According to Howard, he and Abbott established a good rapport, but Hewson and Abbott fell out shortly before the 1993 election, and Abbott ended up in search of work following the re-election of the Keating Government.
He was approached to head Australians for Constitutional Monarchy (ACM), the main group organising support for the maintenance of the Monarchy in Australia amidst the Keating Government's campaign for a change to a republic.
He easily held the safe Liberal seat in the Liberals' traditional Northern Beaches heartland, suffering a swing of only 1 percentage point in the primary vote.
Before 2019, he only dropped below 59 percent of the two-party vote once, in 2001; that year independent Peter Macdonald, the former member for the state seat of Manly, held Abbott to only 55 percent.
Abbott served as the parliamentary secretary to the Minister for Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs (1996–98), Minister for Employment Services (1998–2001), Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations and Small Business (2001), Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations (2001–03) and Minister for Health and Ageing from 2003 to November 2007.
Abbott was also accused of offering funds to One Nation dissident Terry Sharples to support his court battle against the party.
As Minister for Employment Services, he oversaw the implementation of the Job Network and was responsible for the government's Work for the Dole scheme.
Howard appointed Abbott to replace Kay Patterson as Minister for Health in 2003, during a period of contentious Medicare reform and a crisis in Medical indemnity Insurance, in which the price of insurance was forcing doctors out of practice.
Health care initiatives instigated by Abbott include the Nurse Family Partnership, a long term scheme aimed at improving conditions for indigenous youth by improving mother-child relationships.
Abbott visited the victims of the bombings in hospital, and in his capacity as Health Minister organised for Australians who required lifesaving emergency surgery and hospitalisation to be flown to Singapore.
In 2006, Abbott controversially opposed access to the abortion drug RU486, and the Parliament voted to strip Health Ministers of the power to regulate this area of policy.
The Coalition lost government in 2007 and Abbott was re-elected to the seat of Warringah with a 1.8% swing toward the Labor Party.
Following Peter Costello's rejection of the leadership of the Parliamentary Liberal Party, Abbott nominated for the position of party leader, along with Malcolm Turnbull and Brendan Nelson.
Nelson was elected Liberal leader in December 2007 and Abbott was assigned the Shadow Portfolio of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.
As indigenous affairs spokesman, Abbott said that it had been a mistake for the Howard Government not to offer a national apology to the Stolen Generations; spent time teaching at remote Aboriginal communities; and argued for the Rudd Government to continue the Northern Territory National Emergency Response which restricted alcohol and introduced conditional welfare in certain Aboriginal communities.
He recommended the establishment of local hospital and school boards to manage health and education, and discussed family law reform, multiculturalism, climate change, and international relations.
During November 2009, Abbott resigned from shadow ministerial responsibilities due to the Liberal Party's position on the Rudd Government's Emissions trading Scheme (ETS), leading to the resignation of other shadow ministers.
On 1 December 2009, Abbott was elected to the position of Leader of the Liberal Party of Australia over Turnbull and Shadow Treasurer Joe Hockey.
Abbott proposed blocking the government's ETS in the Senate whereas Turnbull sought to amend the bill which the majority of the Liberal Party did not support.
Abbott announced a new Coalition policy on carbon emission reduction in February, which committed the Coalition to a 5 per cent reduction in emissions by 2020.
Abbott proposed the creation of an 'emissions reduction fund' to provide 'direct' incentives to industry and farmers to reduce carbon emissions.
He told press gallery journalist Laurie Oakes that he did not do doorstop interviews in front of church but regularly faced pointed questions about his faith which were not being put to Prime Minister Rudd, who conducted weekly church door press conferences following his attendances at Anglican services.
Abbott reportedly missed the 2009 vote on the Rudd Government $42 billion stimulus package because he fell asleep in his parliamentary office after a night of drinking.
In 2013, Abbott stated on 3AW that if his sister Christine Forster were to have a marriage ceremony with her partner Virginia he would attend.
In March 2010, Abbott, announced a new policy initiative to provide for six months paid parental leave, funded by an increase in corporate tax by 1.7 percentage points on all taxable company income above $5 million.
While Opposition Spokesman for Indigenous Affairs, Abbott spent time in remote Cape York Aboriginal communities as a teacher, organised through prominent indigenous activist Noel Pearson.
Abbott and Pearson believed that the Queensland law would 'block the economic development' of indigenous land, and interfere with Aboriginal land rights.
In April he set out on a 9-day charity bike ride between Melbourne and Sydney, the annual Pollie Pedal, generating political debate about whether he should have committed so much time to physical fitness.
The replacement of a first-term Prime Minister was unusual in Australian political history and the Rudd-Gillard rivalry remained a vexed issue for the Gillard Government into the 2010 election and its subsequent term.
Polls in the first week gave a view that Labor would be re-elected with an increased majority, with Newspoll and an Essential poll showing a lead of 10 points (55–45) two party preferred.
Unable to agree on further debates, the leaders went on to appear separately on stage for questioning at community fora in Sydney and Brisbane.
In Sydney on 11 August, Abbott's opening statement focused on his main election messages around government debt, taxation and asylum seekers.
Labor and the Coalition each won 72 seats in the 150-seat House of Representatives, four short of the requirement for majority government, resulting in the first hung parliament since the 1940 election.
On the crossbench, four independent members, one member of the National Party of Western Australia and one member of the Australian Greens held the balance of power.
Following the negotiations, Gillard formed a minority government with the support of an Australian Greens MP and three independent MPs on the basis of confidence and supply.
Another independent and the WA National gave their confidence and supply support to the Coalition, resulting in Labor holding a 76–74 tally of votes on the floor of the Parliament.
Abbott announced his shadow ministry on 14 September, with few changes to senior positions, but with the return of former leadership rival Malcolm Turnbull, whom he selected as Communications spokesman.
Abbott announced that he wanted Turnbull to prosecute the Opposition's case against the Gillard Government's proposed expenditure on a National Broadband Network.
Abbott announced a proposal for a taskforce to examine further construction of dams in Australia to deal with flood impact and food security.
Abbott said that Gillard had lied to the electorate over the issue because Gillard and her Treasurer Wayne Swan had ruled out the introduction of a carbon tax in the lead up to the 2010 election.
April saw Abbott announce a $430 million policy plan to improve the employment prospects of people with serious mental health problems.
Following the first Gillard Government budget in May 2011, Abbott used his budget-reply speech to reiterate his critiques of government policy and call for an early election over the issue of a carbon tax.
In September 2011, he announced a plan to develop an agricultural food bowl in the north of Australia by developing dams for irrigation and hydroelectricity.
Coalition task force leader Andrew Robb claimed that Australia currently produced enough food for 60 million people, but that the Coalition plan could double this to 120 million people by 2040.
The head of the Northern Australia Land and Water Taskforce expressed concerns about the economic and environmental viability of this plan as well as its effects on the indigenous Australian communities in northern Australia.
Reflecting on indigenous issues on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy on Australia Day 2012, Abbott said that there had been many positive developments in indigenous affairs in recent decades including Rudd's apology and moves to include indigenous Australians in the Australian Constitution.
A major security scare resulted, which was broadcast around the world, resulting in Gillard and Abbott being rushed to a government car amid a throng of security due to fears for their safety.
In an address to the National Press Club on 31 January 2012, Abbott outlined some of his plans for government if elected.
These included an intent to live one week of every year in an indigenous Australian community, and to prune government expenditure and cut taxes.
Abbott responded to the February 2012 Labor leadership crisis by criticising the cross bench independents for keeping Labor in power and renewed his calls for a general election to select the next Prime Minister of Australia.
Following his attendance at the 10th anniversary commemoration of the Bali bombing in Bali, Abbott travelled to Jakarta with his Shadow Ministers for Foreign Affairs and Immigration for a meeting with Indonesian President Yudhoyono and Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa.
At the federal election on 7 September 2013, Abbott led the Liberal/National coalition to victory over the incumbent Labor government, led by Kevin Rudd.
The Prime Minister was the subject of criticism for his decision to only include one woman, Deputy Liberal leader Julie Bishop, in his cabinet.
On the first day of the new Parliament, Abbott introduced legislation into Parliament to repeal the Carbon Tax, and commenced Operation Sovereign Borders, the Coalition's policy to stop illegal maritime arrivals, which received strong public support.
The Carbon Tax Repeal Bill passed both houses of Parliament on 17 July 2014 and the Mining Tax Repeal Bill passed both houses of Parliament on 2 September 2014 after negotiations with the Palmer United Party.
On 25 March 2014, Abbott announced that he had advised the Queen to reinstate the knight and dame system of honours to the Order of Australia.
Controversy ensued when Abbott announced on Australia Day 2015 that Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the Queen's husband and a resident of the United Kingdom, would be appointed a Knight of the Order of Australia.
This decision was widely criticised, including by members of the government, and fuelled speculation that the prime minister's leadership could be challenged.
On 6 February 2015, Liberal backbencher Luke Simpkins announced that he would move a motion, at a meeting of the party room, for a spill of the federal Liberal Party's leadership positions.
Both Malcolm Turnbull and deputy leader Julie Bishop were speculated to be considering a leadership run if the spill motion had succeeded.
Bishop came under intense media scrutiny in July 2015 after details of her use of taxpayer-funded political entitlements were made public, including chartering a helicopter flight between Melbourne and Geelong to attend a Liberal party fundraiser.
Abbott was criticised over his handling of the entitlements scandal as he allowed the controversy to drag on for weeks because of his refusal to sack the Speaker, a close friend and political mentor.
During Abbott's prime ministership, Australian law continued to define marriage as a union of male and female persons, while recognising same-sex couples as de facto couples in areas such as taxation law, social security law, immigration and superannuation, and Abbott did not support changing the law.
During Abbott's time as Opposition Leader and Prime Minister, the position of the Labor Party and opinion polls shifted towards favouring same-sex marriage.
There is more moral quality in a relationship between two people devoted to each other for decades than in many a short-lived marriage.
The First Rudd Government and Gillard Government held similar views (although the short-lived second Rudd government reversed Labor's position on the issue).
In Government, Abbott reaffirmed that he did not support changing the law to recognise same-sex marriages, and did not alter Coalition policy on the issue – however he permitted Coalition members to advocate for change if they felt strongly on the issue, and indicated that if a bill were to come before the new parliament, the Coalition party room would discuss its stance on the issue.
On 11 August 2015, after renewed debate about same-sex marriage in Australia, Abbott called a Coalition Party room vote and Coalition MPs voted against allowing a free vote on the issue 66 to 33.
Some MPs said they were willing to cross the floor on the issue and Abbott was criticised by some pro-gay marriage Liberal MPs, including Christopher Pyne, for holding the vote in the Coalition party room, rather than the Liberal party room (as the inclusion of National Party votes decreased chances of a pro-change outcome).
Although he remains personally opposed to change, he says Parliament should respect the outcome of the national vote on the issue.
On 14 September 2015, Malcolm Turnbull, the Minister for Communications, resigned and stated his intention to challenge the Liberal Party leadership in a leadership spill.
A ReachTel poll of 743 residents in Abbott's safe Liberal seat of Warringah, conducted by phone on the evening of 17 December 2015, indicated his electorate wanted him to retire from parliament at the 2016 federal election.
On 24 January 2016, Abbott confirmed that he would stand for Liberal preselection for the Division of Warringah in the 2016 federal election.
Since Abbott's re-election at the 2016 federal election he has been critical of policy positions of his party on a number of occasions.
Astro Labe, 38, was later charged with common assault; he pleaded guilty in the Hobart Magistrates Court on 18 January 2018 and was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment on 9 April 2018.
On 18 May 2019, during the federal election, Abbott lost his seat of Warringah to independent candidate and former Olympic skiier Zali Steggall.
This came despite the seat being traditionally conservative (it had been held by the Liberals and their predecessors without interruption since 1922).
However, he lost over 12 percent of his primary vote from 2016, and finished over 4,100 votes behind Steggall on the first preference count.
As Opposition Leader, he worked with Cape York Aboriginal activist Noel Pearson, volunteered as a teacher in remote Aboriginal Communities and gave a commitment to continue to live one week a year in such communities if elected Prime Minister.
While the Coalition and Labor were engaged in negotiations with crossbenchers to obtain minority government in 2010, Noel Pearson lobbied Rob Oakeshott to back Abbott.
In November 2012, Abbott flew to Alice Springs to back Aboriginal Country Liberal Party MLA Alison Anderson to run in the federal seat of Lingiari and become the first indigenous woman to enter Parliament.
In August 2015, he disappointed Aboriginal leaders Patrick Dodson and Noel Pearson by rejecting as potentially divisive their request for the federal government to fund a series of Indigenous-only conventions on the wording for the referendum.
In March 2014, Abbott advised the Queen to reintroduce the grade of Knight/Dame to the Order of Australia, without discussing it in the Cabinet and despite stating in December 2013 that he did not plan to do so.
The Fraser Government initially introduced the grade of Knight/Dame of the Order of Australia in 1976; the Hawke Government discontinued it in 1986.
Prior to becoming Opposition Leader, Abbott initially supported proposals by Liberal leaders Howard and Turnbull to introduce floating prices to reduce carbon emissions, but also expressed some doubts as to the science and economics underlying such initiatives.
In 2009, Abbott announced his opposition to Turnbull's support for the Rudd Government's Emissions Trading Scheme proposal, and successfully challenged Turnbull for the Liberal leadership, chiefly over this issue.
As Opposition Leader, Abbott declared that he accepted that climate change was real and that humans were having an impact on it, but rejected carbon pricing as a means to address the issue, proposing instead to match the Labor government's 5% emissions reduction target through implementation of a plan involving financial incentives for emissions reductions by industry, and support for carbon storage in soils and expanded forests.
Upon becoming Leader of the Opposition, Abbott put the question of support for the Government's Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) to a secret ballot and the Liberal Party voted to reject the policy – overturning an undertaking by Turnbull to support an amended version of the government's scheme.
Under Abbott, the Coalition joined the Greens and voted against the CPRS in the Senate, and the bill was defeated twice, providing a double dissolution trigger.
A January 2013 OECD report on taxation of energy use measured Australia's effective tax rate on carbon at 1 July 2012 as among the lower rates in the OECD.
In the first few months of his Prime Ministership, the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly passed the Marriage Equality (Same Sex) Act 2013, a bill to allow same-sex couples to legally marry.
Nine days later, on 12 December, the High Court gave judgement that the Same Sex Act would be dismantled as it clashed with the Federal Marriage Act 1961.
With Malcolm Turnbull as Shadow Minister for Communications and Broadband, the Liberal/National Coalition proposed an alternative - The Multi-Technology Mix (MTM), which heavily utilised Fibre to the Node (FttN) technology - in the lead up to the 2013 Australian federal election.
Abbott said that if elected, all Australians would have access to a minimum broadband speed of 25Mbps by the end of their first term of government.
They promised download speeds between 25 and 100 Mbps by the end of 2016 and 50 to 100 Mbps by 2019, with the rollout completed by the end of 2019.
In 2004, the man sought out Abbott, and it was publicly revealed he was an ABC sound recordist who worked in Parliament House, Canberra, and was involved in making television programs in which Abbott appeared.
As a former Catholic seminarian, Abbott's religiosity has come to national attention and journalists have often sought his views on the role of religion in politics.
Various political positions supported by Abbott have been criticised by church representatives, including aspects of Coalition industrial relations, asylum seeker, and Aboriginal affairs policies.
In 2008, Abbott spent three weeks teaching in a remote Aboriginal settlement in Coen on Cape York, organised through indigenous leader Noel Pearson.
In 2009, he spent 10 days in Aurukun on Cape York working with the truancy team, visiting children who had not been attending school.
Dick Godfrey Harry Adams (born 29 April 1951), Australian former politician, was a Labor Party member of the Australian House of Representatives from the 1993 federal election until the 2013 federal election, representing the Division of Lyons in central Tasmania.
He was born in Launceston, Tasmania, and was a meat worker, rural worker and an organiser with the Australasian Meat Industry Employees' Union and the Liquor and Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers' Union (Miscellaneous Division) before entering politics.
Adams was a member of the Tasmanian House of Assembly for the Franklin division from the 1979 state election until the 1982 state election, serving as Deputy Speaker and Chairman of Committees from 1980 until 1981, and as Minister for National Parks, Lands, Aged Persons and Community Welfare from 1981 until 1982.
He also participated in a number of Parliamentary Standing Committees, including the Parliamentary Library joint committee which he served as a member and chair from 2006.
From 2007 he was the chairman of the Primary Industries and Resources Standing Committee and the National Capital and External Territories Standing Committee, and was an inaugural member of the Standing Committee on Petitions which was established to receive and process petitions to the Federal Parliament from citizens and groups.
Adams was also on the Joint Committee for Public Accounts & Audit, Standing Committee of Agriculture, Resources, Fisheries, and Forestry, and Joint Standing Committee for Foreign Affairs, Defence & Trade and all relevant sub committees - Adams was the only Member of Parliament to sit on all of the Foreign Affairs, Defence & Trade.
Adams was narrowly defeated by Liberal candidate Eric Hutchinson at the 2013 election suffering a 13.5 percent two-party swing, the largest in the nation.
She was educated at the Ursuline Convent in Sligo, where she was a boarder from 1978 to 1983 and later at University College Dublin, graduating with a Social Science degree.
Coming from a political family, Coughlan was always interested in politics, and joined a local party branch at the age of 16.
She was first elected to Dáil Éireann at the 1987 general election as a Fianna Fáil TD for the Donegal South-West constituency.
Her uncle Clement Coughlan was a TD from 1980 until his death in 1983 in a road traffic accident, while her father Cathal Coughlan was a TD from 1983 to 1986 when he died after a short illness.
The death of her father resulted in Coughlan being co-opted onto Donegal County Council in 1986, which launched her own political career.
She remained on the backbenches of the Dáil for the first thirteen years of her career as a TD, before being appointed a junior Minister.
During this period she served on a number of Oireachtas committees, including the Joint Committee on Tourism, Sport and Recreation and the Joint Committee on the Irish language where she served as Chairperson.
She served in this position until 1997 but was not included in the cabinet or junior ministerial team when the party came to power.
In February 2001, Coughlan received her first ministerial position, that of Minister of State (Junior Minister) at the Department of Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands (with responsibility for the Gaeltacht and Islands).
In this role for just sixteen months, she was responsible for securing Government approval for the general scheme of the Official Languages Equality Bill, which aimed to confirm the language rights of citizens and outline their rights when dealing with the State in either official language.
She also oversaw the coming-into-force of an amended Gaeltacht Housing Act, updating the supports available for Irish-speaking households building in or moving to the Gaeltacht.
The Commission on Irish in the Gaeltacht (Comisiún na Gaeltachta) also completed its work under her guidance and Coughlan saw its report approved and published.
In addition, during her tenure Coughlan oversaw significant investment in island infrastructure and in the connection of islands to the national electricity grid, including Inishbofin Island, off the County Donegal coast, which was connected for the first time in 2002 by using an underwater cable from the mainland.
She established the Family Support Agency with a mandate to support families, promote stability in family life, prevent marital breakdown and foster a supportive community environment for families at a local level.
She was also widely criticised for cuts she made as Minister to entitlements for widows and widowers after the death of a spouse.
However, many considered these and other similar cutbacks to have been forced upon her by Charlie McCreevy, who was Minister for Finance at the time, and who was blamed for many of his decisions.
During her time as Minister for Social and Family Affairs, she was praised for introducing large increases in Child Benefit and in pensions.
Coughlan also established the Office of the Pensions Ombudsman and provided additional funding and support for the State's Money Advice and Budgeting Service (MABS).
In a 2004 cabinet reshuffle, Coughlan succeeded Joe Walsh as Minister for Agriculture and Food, becoming the first woman to hold that portfolio in Ireland.
They criticised the government's and the Minister's roles, both were seen as not doing enough to try to stop the closures, though they had retained some control over the factories since they had been privatised a number of years before.
Coughlan also headed this Department at a time when the spread of bird flu from abroad looked very likely to occur, especially in 2006.
Coughlan was re-appointed to the portfolio on 14 June 2007 following the 2007 general election, with the additional responsibility of fisheries as Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
Shortly after her re-appointment Coughlan had to put in place measures to deal with the threat of the potential spread of foot-and-mouth disease from Britain in early August 2007.
Following Bertie Ahern's resignation on 6 May 2008, Coughlan, in a cabinet re-shuffle, became Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment on 7 May 2008, by newly appointed Taoiseach Brian Cowen.
Her performance as Tánaiste in defence of the October 2008 budget was criticised by opposition politicians and the media, with Fine Gael's Leo Varadkar publicly comparing Coughlan to gaffe-prone Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin.
Coughlan announced a third change in the budgetary position, in her local constituency, prior to Cabinet agreement and five days before the responsible Minister for Social and Family Affairs announced it to the nation, via RTÉ Radio.
Coughlan acted to clean up years of wasteful spending by executives at the state training and employment agency, FÁS, and was considered to have taken a tough line with Director General, Rody Molloy, who was forced to resign in November 2008.
The 2008 fall in the value of sterling against the euro saw the price gap between North and South widen and shoppers cross to Northern Ireland to the detriment of businesses in the South.
Coughlan asked multiple retailers to reduce their margins south of the border and provide better value to consumers in the South.
Research from Forfás, concluded that only a five per cent difference in the cost of goods between North and South was justifiable.
The findings highlighted retailers' larger margins in the South in relation to their operations in the North and Coughlan queried why the price differential in many identical goods was substantially in excess of 5%.
It's up to Tesco, it's up to Superquinn, it's up to Aldi, it's up to Lidl; it's up to them to cut their prices.
When retailers continued to remain silent on the price differential, Coughlan sent in the Competition Authority to investigate supply chains in the retail sector.
She also successfully secured over €22 million of European Globalisation Adjustment Fund money to the benefit of the workers made redundant in Limerick.
Coughlan acted to close loopholes in company law that made it possible for bank directors not to have to disclose the full extent of their indebtedness to the bank in its published accounts.
McGuinness' credibility was subsequently undermined when it was revealed that he had hired external PR advice in an effort to undermine Coughlan and enhance his own profile as a Minister of State within her Department.
In April 2009, she denied there would be a supplementary budget – one was announced five days later – also claiming that the public finances were under control at the same time.
Later that month she apparently let slip the date of a general election while speaking about the budget when Brian Cowen was in New York.
On 23 March 2010, following a cabinet reshuffle, she was moved to the newly named Department of Education and Skills, while retaining the position of Tánaiste.
One of Coughlan's first initiatives in the portfolio was to voice her support for the introduction of a CAO points bonus for students studying higher level maths.
She revamped the Student Maintenance Grant application procedure, streamlining administration and getting the scheme out two months earlier than in previous years.
Her running mate Brian Ó Domhnaill also failed to be elected, leaving Donegal South-West without a Fianna Fáil TD for the first time in its history.
The legislation which Coughlan subsequently produced limited the meaning of the word 'spouse' to include only married couples; this was regarded by the Opposition parties and LGBT rights campaigners as discriminatory towards same-sex couples as there had been no legal recognition of same-sex unions in the Republic of Ireland at the time.
Two months later, Coughlan caused comment at a European Union conference on family and social policy by stating that Ireland would never be ready for same-sex marriage or gay adoption.
During her time in Social and Family Affairs, Coughlan produced a report discussing new definitions of 'the family' which recommended a more progressive approach to the matter.
Mary Coughlan was married to David Charlton, a Garda who lost a leg in a serious car accident a few years after they were married, from 1991 until his death from cancer on 2 September 2012.
They were married when Coughlan was aged 26, two years after they met, David was working as a Garda on duty at Leinster House at the time.
Anthony Norman Albanese ( or ; born 2 March 1963) is an Australian politician serving as Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the Labor Party since 2019.
Albanese served as the 15th Deputy Prime Minister of Australia in 2013 and a Cabinet Minister in the Rudd and Gillard Governments from 2007 to 2013.
Albanese was born in Sydney and attended St Mary's Cathedral College, before going on to the University of Sydney to study economics.
Albanese was elected to the House of Representatives at the 1996 election, winning the Division of Grayndler in New South Wales.
He was first appointed to the Shadow Cabinet in 2001 and went on to serve in a number of roles, eventually becoming Manager of Opposition Business in 2006.
After Labor's victory in the 2007 election, Albanese was appointed Leader of the House; he was also made Minister for Regional Development and Local Government and Minister for Infrastructure and Transport.
In the subsequent leadership tensions between Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard from 2010 to 2013, Albanese was publicly critical of the conduct of both, calling for unity.
After the final leadership ballot between the two in June 2013, Albanese was elected Deputy Leader of the Labor Party and was sworn in as Deputy Prime Minister of Australia the following day.
Following Labor's defeat in the 2013 election, Albanese stood against Bill Shorten in the ensuing leadership election, the first to include party members as well as MPs.
Although Albanese won a large majority of the membership, Shorten won more heavily among Labor MPs; Shorten subsequently appointed Albanese to his Shadow Cabinet.
Albanese became the only person to nominate in the leadership election; he was subsequently declared elected unopposed as the Leader of the Labor Party, becoming Leader of the Opposition.
Growing up, Albanese was told that his father had died in a car accident; he did not meet his father, who was in fact still alive, until 2009, tracking him down with the assistance of the Australian Embassy in Italy.
It was also there where he started his rise as a key player in the left faction of the Labor Party.
After completing his economics degree, Albanese took on a role as research officer to the then-Minister for Local Government and Administrative Services, Tom Uren, who would become a mentor to him.
In 1989, the position of Assistant General Secretary of the New South Wales branch of the Labor Party became vacant when John Faulkner was elected to the Senate.
The election to replace him was closely disputed between the Labor Left's Hard Left and Soft Left groupings, with Albanese being elected with the backing of the Hard Left, taking on that role for the next six years.
When Jeannette McHugh announced she would not recontest her seat of Grayndler at the 1996 election, Albanese won preselection for the seat.
The campaign was a difficult one, with aircraft noise a big political issue following the opening of the third runway at Sydney Airport, and the newly established No Aircraft Noise party (NAN) having polled strongly in the local area at the 1995 New South Wales election.
In his maiden speech to the House of Representatives, he spoke at length about aircraft noise and the need to build a second Sydney Airport, as well as his support for funding public infrastructure in general, multiculturalism, native title, the social wage and childcare.
In his first year in Parliament he continued this theme, speaking up on behalf of the Northern Territory's euthanasia legislation, and entitlement to superannuation for same-sex couples.
In 1998 he unsuccessfully moved a private member's bill that would have given same-sex couples the same rights to superannuation as de facto heterosexual couples.
Over the next nine years, he tried three more times without success, until the election of the Rudd Government in 2007 saw the legislation passed.
In 1998, Albanese was appointed a Parliamentary Secretary, a position which assists ministers and shadow ministers and is often a stepping stone to a full ministerial position.
A 2002 reshuffle saw him become Shadow Minister for Employment Services and Training, and in 2004 he became Shadow Minister for Environment and Heritage.
It was during this latter role that then-Prime Minister John Howard and Science Minister Brendan Nelson started raising the idea of nuclear power for Australia.
In 2005, he was given the additional role of Shadow Minister for Water alongside his existing responsibilities, and was also appointed Deputy Manager of Opposition Business in the House.
In December 2006, when Kevin Rudd first became Leader of the Labor Party, Albanese took over from Julia Gillard as Manager of Opposition Business in the House, a senior tactical role on the floor of the parliament, and was appointed Shadow Minister for Water and Infrastructure.
Following Labor's victory at the 2007 election, Albanese's rise in standing within the party was evidenced by his appointment as Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Regional Development and Local Government and Leader of the House of Representatives in the Rudd Ministry.
One of Albanese's first moves as Minister for Infrastructure and Transport was the establishment of an independent statutory body, Infrastructure Australia, to advise the Government on infrastructure priorities.
Armed with advice from this independent body and his own persuasive skills in the Cabinet, he was able to argue for a doubling of the roads budget and a tenfold increase in rail investment.
The establishment of Infrastructure Australia was regarded by many as a success; projects delivered through the Infrastructure Australia process included Melbourne's Regional Rail Link, the Hunter Expressway, the Ipswich Motorway, the Gold Coast light rail system , the Redcliffe Peninsula railway line, the extension of the Noarlunga Centre railway line to Seaford, South Australia and various projects along the Pacific Highway in NSW and Bruce Highway in Queensland.
Following the 2010 election which resulted in a hung parliament, Albanese was a key player in negotiating the support of independent members Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott through his role of Leader of the House.
The first on urban planning drew on the work of Danish designer Jan Gehl and set out plans for urban design with better transport links and safety.
The second, on shipping, was notable for gaining the approval of both the conservative Australian Shipowners Associations and the radical Maritime Union of Australia.
This caused outrage among supporters of the protest and a week later a public rally in support of the truckies was held outside Albanese's electorate office in .
Shortly before the ballot, Albanese came out in support of Rudd, stating that he had always been unhappy with the manner of Rudd's removal.
He tearfully explained how he had offered his resignation as Leader of the House to the Prime Minister, but that she had refused to accept it, and called on Labor to cease leadership divisions and unify.
That same ballot saw Albanese elected by the caucus as Deputy Leader of the Labor Party, and the following day Albanese was sworn in as Deputy Prime Minister.
Following the defeat of Labor at the 2013 election, Albanese announced his candidacy to be Leader of the Labor Party, standing against Bill Shorten.
Shorten was announced as the winner after a month-long contest that was the first to involve a combined vote of MPs and rank-and-file members.
In October 2013, shortly after the leadership election, Shorten appointed Albanese Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and Transport and Shadow Minister for Tourism; he would hold these roles throughout Shorten's time as leader.
Bill Shorten announced his resignation as Leader of the Labor Party on 18 May 2019, following Labor's unexpected defeat in the 2019 election.
On 21 May, Chris Bowen announced he would also contest the ballot; however, the next day, he announced his withdrawal, citing his lack of support among the party membership.
Aged 56 when he took office, he is the oldest first-time Opposition Leader in 59 years, since Arthur Calwell (aged 63) took office in 1960.
Albanese is married to Carmel Tebbutt, former Deputy Premier of New South Wales and former member for the state electoral district of Marrickville, which until its abolition in 2015 overlapped with Grayndler in Sydney's inner west.
He is also a music fan who reportedly once went to a Pogues gig in a Pixies shirt and intervened as Transport Minister to save a Dolly Parton tour from bureaucratic red tape.
As a lifelong supporter of the South Sydney Rabbitohs, he was a board member of the club from 1999 to 2002 and influential in the fight to have the club readmitted to the National Rugby League competition.
Albanese admitted he had phoned the NRL chief executive, David Gallop, as well as other league officials, to advise them against the idea.
He was an independent member of the Australian House of Representatives from March 1996 until October 2007, representing the electorate of Calare, New South Wales.
He was a teacher, television reporter, presenter and producer and radio and television news editor with Prime Television and 2GZ before entering politics.
He was not only displeased with the quality of candidates in the field to succeed longtime Labor incumbent David Simmons, but felt that rural Australia was losing its voice in Canberra.
However, owing partly to his name recognition (Prime's service area covered most of the electorate), Andren won the seat after Labor's preferences flowed overwhelmingly to him, taking 63 percent of the two-candidate vote.
He held the seat without serious difficulty in the next three elections; his two candidate-preferred vote of over 75 per cent in 2001 made Calare the second-safest seat in Australia.
He had been an active opponent of genetically modified crops, and was involved with the Standing Committee on Primary Industries and Regional Services.
Andren was known to join with the other two rural independent members, Bob Katter and Tony Windsor, in raising regional issues with the Parliament and media.
A redistribution of electoral boundaries in 2006 effectively cut Calare in half and reduced Andren's notional majority, leading to speculation that he might have stood for the neighbouring seat of Macquarie, which now included former Calare cities Bathurst and Lithgow, at the next election.
On 29 March 2007, he instead made an announcement that he would stand down from Calare to contest a New South Wales seat in the Senate—a race that it was widely believed he would win.
Due to his illness, he had to abandon his candidacy for a seat in the Senate and he saw out his term as member for Calare until the parliament was dissolved on 17 October, before the 2007 election.
He died less than three weeks later, on 3 November, survived by his partner Valerie Faber, his two sons Greg and Josh and his ex-wife Jenny Price.
Cullen was one of 14 Progressive Democrats TDs elected to Dáil Éireann at the 1987 general election, the first election after the party was founded.
During his first period as a TD he served as his party's spokesperson on Tourism, Transport and Communications (1987–1988) and Industry and Commerce (1988–1989).
During the intervening period he was elected to Waterford City Council, before returning to the Dáil at the 1992 general election.
In 1997 a Fianna Fáil–Progressive Democrats coalition government came to power and Cullen was appointed Minister of State at the Department of Finance.
He was also given responsibility for the Office of Public Works where he made huge progress in restoring the reputation of that Department with number of high-profile projects, such as Leinster House 2000 and the purchase of the Farmleigh estate from Edward Guinness.
As Minister responsible for elections, he inherited a previous government decision to move to a electronic-based system which was successfully tested by the previous government.
However a media-led campaign which became highly politicized, derailed public confidence in the new system coupled with a desire to retain the old paper system.
Ireland assumed the European Presidency during his tenure and he became President of the European Environmental Council and played a significant role at the world Earth Summits.
Two independent reports have cleared him of any wrongdoing in the awarding of lucrative Public Relations contracts to Monica Leech, who subsequently became President of Waterford Chambers of Commerce.
With the support of a majority of Dáil Éireann, he was the minister responsible for the stock market flotation of Aer Lingus, Ireland's national airline.
Some critics at the time suggested that it was important that Ireland, as an island nation, retain control of an airline in order to ensure connectivity to nearby countries.
Shortly after the privatisation, Irish-based private airline Ryanair attempted a takeover of Aer Lingus which was eventually blocked by other shareholders including the government (who retained a 28.3% share), Aer Lingus employee groups and Irish businessman Denis O'Brien.
In August 2007, Aer Lingus announced that it would cease flying from Shannon Airport to London Heathrow Airport, instead using its Heathrow slots to fly from Belfast International Airport in Northern Ireland.
The airport access slots are held by Aer Lingus for historical reasons, as the national carrier for the Republic of Ireland.
In December 2008 he courted controversy by commenting on national radio that he would be supportive of having an Irish football club taking part in England's Premier League, despite the damage such a development would have on domestic football in Ireland, and the comments were also seen as unsuitable for the Minister for Arts, Sports, and Tourism.
In March 2009, a helicopter which was carrying him from Killarney to Dublin made an emergency landing shortly after take-off, because a door had fallen off.
Cullen dismissed criticism at his use of the Air Corps helicopter, and said there had been no unnecessary spending on his travel.
On 21 January 2010, he published his speech to the forum on Defamation Law, in which he spoke of his experiences of false allegations of adultery in the press.
Cullen described how he had been pursued by the media, with reporters harassing him, photographers following him, even once a photograph of him, the Taoiseach and his secretary, and a third man at a state function was altered to make it appear he was dining alone with the woman.
Cullen announced his resignation from his ministerial office and as a TD on 8 March 2010, due to a back ailment that had been troubling him severely in the preceding months.
He presided over the House during the special sitting in May 2001 to mark the centenary of the Parliament of Australia, which met in the Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne, as did the first Parliament in 1901.
Along with Leo McLeay and Bronwyn Bishop, Andrew was one of only three Speakers (as of 2014) to be subjected to a motion of no confidence.
However, a redistribution ahead of the 2004 elections pushed his seat well to the south to take in heavily pro-Labor northern Adelaide suburbs that had previously been in the safe Labor seat of Bonython.
Andrew held his old seat with a comfortably safe majority of 14 percent, but the reconfigured Wakefield had a Labor majority of just over one percent.
Prior to the new boundaries being announced, Andrew notified Prime Minister John Howard that he would not renominate for Wakefield in the upcoming election.
The area was originally explored by British settlers in 1789 and the nearby eminence to the west of the Hawkesbury River was known by them as 'Richmond Hill'.
The name was given by Governor Phillip, in honour of Charles Lennox, the third Duke of Richmond who was Master General of Ordnance in the Pitt administration.
It is perhaps the first time that the colonial authorities sent in the troopers and expressly stated their intent to 'destroy' the whole local Aboriginal population of an area.
One of the early settlers, James Blackman, built Bowman Cottage from brick nog, a common construction technique in the colony, using money borrowed from William Cox.
The building was restored by the NSW Public Works Department and then became a Division of the Australian Foundation for the Disabled, providing employment for the disabled.
The location of this bunker is unknown but it has been reported that this bunker was identical to the Bankstown Bunker which is currently buried under a public park in Bankstown.
Richmond has a range of educational facilities, from primary and high schools to Technical and Further Education (TAFE), including a private Registered Training Organisation (RTO), National Training Masters and the Hawkesbury Campus of Western Sydney University.
There are three primary schools in Richmond (although there are many more in the Richmond/Hawkesbury area): Richmond Public School, Hobartville Public School and St Monica's Primary School, a comprehensive Catholic school.
Richmond High School is the only High School in the town of Richmond, as Colo High School draws from the area west of Richmond and Windsor High School to the east.
The expansion of the Sydney suburban area has almost reached Richmond and it is now considered to be an outer suburb of Sydney.
Richmond railway station is the terminus of the Richmond branch of the North Shore, Northern & Western Line of the Sydney Trains network.
Richmond is surrounded by the 329 km Richmond Woodlands Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because of the importance of the patches of remnant eucalypt woodland it contains for endangered regent honeyeaters and swift parrots.
Richmond's extreme summer temperatures are also credited to föhn wind sweeping off the Central Tablelands down into the foothills of the suburb.
He is currently a backbench Member of the House of Representatives for the seat of Menzies, to which he was first elected at the 1991 by-election.
Previously, Andrews served in the Howard Government as the Minister for Ageing, Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, and then the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship until the 2007 election where his party lost government.
Following the 2009 Liberal leadership ballot, Andrews served in the Shadow Cabinet of Tony Abbott as shadow minister for Families, Housing and Human Services until the 2013 election where his party won government.
At the September 2015 Liberal leadership ballot, Andrews unsuccessfully contested for the Liberal deputy leadership against Julie Bishop, while supporting Tony Abbott against Malcolm Turnbull as Liberal leader.
He was educated at the Rosedale Primary School, St Patrick's College, Sale and the University of Melbourne, where he lived at Newman College and graduated with a Bachelor of Laws in 1979 and a Bachelor of Arts in 1980.
After graduation, he worked for the Law Institute of Victoria from 1980 to 1983, as a research solicitor and co-ordinator of Continuing Legal Education.
From 1983 to 1985, he served as associate to Sir James Gobbo, Justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria, and subsequently the Governor of Victoria.
While practising law he specialised in health law and bioethics and was involved with the St Vincent's Bioethics Centre, the Mercy Hospital for Women, the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and the Lincoln School of Health Sciences.
Andrews was a member of the Lyons Forum, a socially conservative Christian group within the Coalition that was disbanded in the mid-1990s.
Andrews called for an end to trials of the RU-486 drug and voted against a bill that took away the Health Minister's power to veto applications to allow the drug to be used.
He also took a stance against stem cell research during a debate in 2006, which resulted in the overturning of a previous ban on the research.
After the Coalition's third victory in 2001, Andrews was brought into the outer ministry as Minister for Ageing, a portfolio in which he served from 26 November 2001 to 7 October 2003.
He was subsequently appointed to Cabinet as the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations and was responsible for introducing the Howard Government's major changes to industrial relations law in 2005, commonly known as WorkChoices.
In a reshuffle in early 2007, Andrews was made Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, a position which he held until the swearing-in of the First Rudd Ministry on 3 December 2007, following the defeat of the Howard Government in the 2007 election.
During 2008 and 2009, he served as Chairman of the Coalition's Policy Review Committee, reviewing and developing the Opposition's policies, until he was promoted to the Shadow Cabinet (to the position of Shadow Minister for Families, Housing and Human Services) in December 2009 by the newly elected Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott.
In November 2009, Andrews declared his candidacy against Malcolm Turnbull in a vote for a leadership spill, in opposition to Turnbull's support for the government's emissions trading scheme.
He had declared himself a climate change sceptic, saying that 'the jury is still out' on human contributions to global warming.
In the 2010 federal election, Andrews was re-elected to the seat of Menzies with a 2.7-point swing against the Labor Party.
Andrews chairs the Joint Standing Committee on the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the Human Rights Sub-Committee of the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade, the Coalition Policy Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade, and the Australia–China Parliamentary Friendship Group.
On 14 September 2015, after Deputy Leader Julie Bishop announced she would support Malcolm Turnbull in challenge against Prime Minister Tony Abbott for the leadership of the Liberal Party, Andrews announced he supported Abbott and would stand for the deputy leadership against Bishop.
As Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Andrews attracted controversy after he revoked on character grounds the visa of Dr Muhamed Haneef, who had been granted bail on charges of aiding terrorists.
This was criticised as a move to keep Haneef in detention; upon posting bail, Haneef would have been transferred from Brisbane's Wolston Correctional Centre to Sydney's Villawood Detention Centre.
Following the Director of Public Prosecutions dropping all charges against Haneef, Andrews refused calls to reinstate Haneef's visa, stating that his personal evidence was still valid.
Andrews' justification of his decision, that he had a reasonable suspicion that Haneef had associated with suspected terrorists and therefore failed the test of good character that a person must pass to keep a visa, was rejected in the Federal Court, and the revocation of Haneef's visa was overturned.
Following Andrews' criticism of irregularities discovered in the CV of an Indian doctor working on the Gold Coast, various media organisations carried reports disputing Andrews' claim on parliamentary and ministerial websites to have co-authored three books, having contributed only a chapter to each.
In addition members of the Australian community viewed Andrews as responsible for creating a racial tension leading to anti-African sentiment in the community and racially based attacks on Sudanese migrants in Australia.
He is an advisor to the Board of Life Decisions International (LDI), a (non-denominational) Christian pro-life group that is primarily concerned with opposing abortion and the agenda of the Planned Parenthood organisation.
LDI promotes chastity, boycotts corporations that fund Planned Parenthood, such as GlaxoSmithKline, Time Warner and Disney, and names individual celebrities who support abortion, euthanasia or embryonic stem cell experimentation.
On 9 April 2003, Andrews made a speech to the Endeavour Forum, a conservative Christian group founded to counter the feminist movement which opposes abortion, equal opportunity and affirmative action.
He is a vocal public opponent of same-sex marriage and has publicly stated he will vote against any bill, regardless of the results of the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey.
Just under 70% of the migrant intake are in the 15–44 age cohort, compared to 43% of the Australian population as a whole.
Andrews was an Adjunct Lecturer in Politics and in Marriage Education in the John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family in Melbourne.
He was a National Party of Australia member of the Australian House of Representatives representing the Division of Richmond, New South Wales, from the March 1996 election until his defeat in the 2004 election.
Anthony was born in Sydney, New South Wales, and educated at Canberra Grammar School before attending university at the University of New South Wales, Sydney.
Anthony first ran in Richmond in 1993, losing to Labor incumbent Neville Newell—the first time that a member of the Anthony family had lost an election.
However, due to demographic changes over the previous two decades that made Richmond much more compact and urban, Anthony was never able to establish nearly as secure a hold on the seat as his father and grandfather possessed when they held it for 47 consecutive years from 1937 to 1984.
In 2004, he was defeated by Labor's Justine Elliot, being the only Coalition MP from a rural electorate to lose his seat and the first member of the Anthony family to be unseated at an election.
On the seventh count, Elliot picked up a large flow of Green preferences, allowing her to defeat Anthony by 301 votes.
Anthony was Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Trade 1998–99, Minister for Community Services 1999–2001 and Minister for Children and Youth Affairs from 2001 to 2004.
He is a Fellow of the Financial Services Institute of Australia and a fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors..
Larry was appointed (2005 - 2012) as Chair of The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award - Australia and from 2012 to current as President/Chair of The Friends of The Duke of Edinburgh Award in Australia.
Waterfall is bordered to the north by the suburb of Heathcote, with Engadine further north; by The Royal National Park to the east; and by Heathcote National Park to the west.
Its local school has only two rooms which have kindergarten to 2nd class in one room, and 3rd class to 6th class in another.
Waterfall was a town created by rail workers, who built the line from Sydney to Wollongong in the late 19th century.
It is the highest point on the line, with a steep rising gradient at one end, and a falling gradient at the other end, and sidings were provided in both directions to allow freight wagons to be stowed and shunted.
The Waterfall train collision on 20 December 1994 involved two S-set electric trains which collided in the early hours of the morning during a shunting procedure at Waterfall station in the south of Sydney.
The Waterfall train disaster on 31 January 2003 involved an interurban train service operated by unit G7, which crashed just past Waterfall.
The cause of G7's crash was determined to be the heart attack of the driver and a failure of the safety equipment and the guard to stop the train.
Waterfall is the last suburb heading south on the Princes Highway before it leads into the Princes Motorway (formerly known as the F6 freeway) to the city of Wollongong.
Waterfall is also a stop on the NSW TrainLink South Coast Line, with platform 1 to Sydney terminal, platform 2 to Port Kembla, Dapto and Kiama.
It is 49.9 miles (80 km) from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is approximately one hour, 17 minutes.
Garrison Landing was built around the station, which along with the line was acquired by the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1864, and like many others on the Hudson Line, it is also right on the Hudson River.
In 1892, NYC&HR rebuilt the station with elements of the Italianate, Victorian Gothic and Hudson River Bracketed styles, similar to stations such as Dobbs Ferry.
On October 24, 1897, the Garrison train crash occurred south of the station at Kings Dock resulting in 19 deaths (mostly from drowning) and hundreds of injuries.
In April 1945, the station was a stop on the funeral train of Franklin D. Roosevelt, where West Pointers could pay tribute to the dead president as his body was transported to Hyde Park.
The station house became a Penn Central station upon the merger between NYC and Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968, like many NYCRR stations in Putnam County.
Bankruptcy for Penn Central in 1970 forced them to turn passenger service over to the MTA in 1972, even through the period when it was taken over by Conrail in 1976, and then by Metro-North Railroad in 1983 which rebuilt a new station south of the former NYC station house.
The former station house became a contributing property to the Garrison Landing Historic District in 1982, and has been the headquarters of the Philipstown Depot Theatre since 1996.
Eugeniusz Bodo (born Bohdan Eugène Junod; 18991943) was a film director, producer and one of the most popular Polish actors and comedians of the inter-war period.
Towards the end of that decade he also became a successful entrepreneur, a co-owner of a successful film studio, a café and a producers company.
However, shortly after the German invasion of the Soviet Union he was arrested by the NKVD and sentenced to 5 years of lager/labor camp as a result of NKVD Interrogation carried out by NKVD chief Pyotr Fedotov signed on 20 October 1942 (source: documents sent to Poland by the Russian Red Cross in 1992).
Initially imprisoned in Butyrki prison in Moscow, he was not released following the Sikorski-Mayski Agreement as the Soviet authorities argued that he was not a Pole but rather a Swiss citizen and hence the Amnesty for Polish citizens in the Soviet Union did not apply to him.
His whereabouts remained unknown for another 50 years, before the collapse of communism in 1989 the Soviets gave the false version that Bodo had been murdered by the Germans in 1941.
Grimethorpe is located to the east of Barnsley and south of Hemsworth; until the local government reorganisation of 1974, it was part of the Hemsworth district and constituency.
Since the 1984–85 miners' strike accelerated the downscale of UK coal mining and international cheap open-cast mining provoked closure of its colliery in May 1993.
Following the Norman conquest, the Brierley-Grimethorpe area came under the rule of the De Laceys of Pontefract, with a local Saxon owner.
In 1066, this owner was Ernui who was said to have six carucates of land at Brerelia and Hindelia, valued at forty shillings.
This land was given after the Norman conquest to Airic who was given the whole of Staincross wapentake by Ilbert de Lacey, the Norman of Pontefract.
It was about ten miles from north to south and about twenty miles from east to west, its boundaries being in the northeast the high ridge on which Brierley stands and in the southwest the water shed of the Pennines.
A stone cross called Ladycross was erected near Grimethorpe, probably by the monks of Monk Bretton Priory, as a place of sanctuary, there being an old law protecting people on Church lands.
The Lady referred to in the place names of Ladycross, Ladywell and Ladywood is probably Mary Magdalene to whom Monk Bretton Priory was dedicated.
On a well- hidden site between Brierley and Grimethorpe stood the fortified Manor of Hall Steads (the name means 'hall site'), which belonged to the early Brereley estate.
The two pits in the village were 'Grimethorpe' and 'Ferrymoor' which merged with 'Riddings' in 1967, which in turn merged with 'South Kirkby' in 1985.
Grimethorpe colliery was one of the deepest pits in Britain and, following similar mergers with 'Houghton Main' and 'Dearne Valley', employed 6,000 men at the time of its closure in May 1993.
During mid-October of the 1984-85 miners' strike, there was a series of riots in Grimethorpe and local residents complained that the policing was too heavy-handed.
This sparked a period of regeneration and much of the denser basic housing was demolished and replaced with new housing stock.
Historically Grimethorpe had road links to the major compass points without natural barriers but was distant to major cities and its public transport was represented by long-distance bus routes; comparable ex-mining-centric villages in West Yorkshire such as Fitzwilliam and South Elmsall have rail links to Leeds and a greater population supporting local retail and commerce.
This has brought many jobs to the area especially the construction of a huge unit occupied by South Yorkshire-based furniture company Symphony.
Since this time regeneration work has continued with the opening of the large ASOS distribution centre, and many other industrial units on the Park Springs Industrial Estate.
Willowgarth High School was demolished to be replaced by larger Outwood Academy Shafton, the secondary school with a main catchment area including Grimethorpe, Shafton, Brierley, Cudworth, Monk Bretton and Lundwood.
Grimethorpe has had two senior football clubs – Grimethorpe Athletic, who played in the FA Cup from 1904 to 1953, and Grimethorpe Miners' Welfare, who competed in the FA Vase.
The station is open part-time, serving one peak hour (weekday) train in each direction (one at 8:09 in the morning towards New York and 7:21 in the evening towards Poughkeepsie), and six weekend trains each direction.
The Manitou station is one of three stations–along with Breakneck Ridge on the Hudson Line and Appalachian Trail on the Harlem Line–that receives limited passenger service.
There is no elevated platform and facilities at the station, one of two on the line adjacent to a grade crossing, are limited to a small shelter with the current schedule posted inside.
This station has two low-level side platforms, each long enough for just one door of one car to receive and discharge passengers.
It is just south of a grade crossing whose gates remain down as long as any northbound train is in the station.
The former station building built by the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1874 still stands, although it is no longer staffed.
The freight depot, was the site of a February 19, 1861 visit by Abraham Lincoln who stopped there during his train trip to his inauguration.
The railroad was acquired by the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in November 1869, and they rebuilt the passenger station in 1874.
NYC&HR rebuilt the freight depot around 1890 and today it is on the National Register of Historic Places, as is the Standard House which served the railroad, as well as ships on the Hudson River.
With the railroads in decline during the post-WW II era, New York Central merged with their long time rival Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968 and the station became a Penn Central station.
Amtrak took over intercity passenger service in 1971, but Peekskill station continued to serve only the expanded Penn Central Hudson Division trains which by that time ran to Poughkeepsie and were subsidized by the MTA.
Conrail took over Penn Central in 1976 and ran Hudson Branch trains as far north as Albany until 1981 when they reverted to Poughkeepsie where it has remained ever since.
One reason for the use of the pennywhistle is that it is cheap and portable, but it also lends itself as a solo or an ensemble instrument.
The popularity of the pennywhistle may have been based on the fact that flutes of different kinds have long been traditional instruments among the peoples of the more northerly parts of South Africa, and the pennywhistle thus enabled the swift adaptation of folk tunes into the new marabi-influenced music.
It is said that the young men who played the pennywhistle on street corners also acted as lookouts to warn those enjoying themselves in the shebeens of the arrival of the police.
Kwela music was influenced by blending the music of Malawian immigrants to South Africa, together with the local South African sounds.
The music was popularised in South Africa and then brought to Malawi, where contemporary Malawian artists have also begun producing Khwela music.
Although it has been asserted that Khwela music exclusively uses the chord progression I-IV-Iformula_1-V., others maintain that there is no specific Khwela chord progression, and that I-IV-V-I and I-I-IV-V are particularly prevalent.
Artists such as Lemmy Mabaso were renowned for their pennywhistle skills, and Spokes Mashiyane was one of the most prominent with his kwela pennywhistle tunes.

Red Hat uses strict trademark rules to restrict free re-distribution of their officially supported versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, but still freely provides its source code.
They are offered to schools and students, are less expensive, and are provided with Red Hat technical support as an optional extra.
The reason for this is that the ES product is indeed the company's base enterprise server product, while AS is the more advanced product.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release schedules do not follow that of Fedora (around 6 months per release) but are more conservative (2 years or more).
For example, RHEL 6 was forked from Fedora at the end of 2009 (approximately at the time of the Fedora 12 release) and released more or less together with Fedora 14.
(Note about Fedora Core 1 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3: Red Hat released Red Hat Linux 10 beta 1, then took two forks from that codebase to seed both Fedora Core 1 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 beta releases.
In addition, the Fedora project includes Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL), a community-provided set of packages for RHEL going beyond the ones that Red Hat selected for inclusion in its supported distribution.
Fedora is a general purpose system that gives Red Hat and the rest of its contributor community the chance to innovate rapidly with new technologies.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a commercial enterprise operating system and has its own set of test phases including alpha and beta releases which are separate and distinct from Fedora development.
Since Red Hat Enterprise Linux is based completely on free and open source software, Red Hat makes available the complete source code to its enterprise distribution through its FTP site to anybody who wants it.
Accordingly, several groups have taken this source code and compiled their own versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, typically with the only changes being the removal of any references to Red Hat's trademarks and pointing the update systems to non-Red Hat servers.
Groups which have undertaken this include CentOS, Oracle Linux, Scientific Linux, White Box Enterprise Linux, StartCom Enterprise Linux, Pie Box Enterprise Linux, X/OS, Lineox, and Bull's XBAS for high-performance computing.
Rebuilds of Red Hat Enterprise Linux are free but do not get any commercial support or consulting services from Red Hat and lack any software, hardware or security certifications.
Unusually, Red Hat took steps to obfuscate their changes to the Linux kernel for 6.0 by not publicly providing the patch files for their changes in the source tarball, and only releasing the finished product in source form.
Red Hat's CTO Brian Stevens later confirmed the change, stating that certain information (such as patch information) would now only be provided to paying customers to make the Red Hat product more competitive against the growing number of companies offering support for products based on RHEL.
CentOS developers had no objections to the change since they do not make any changes to the kernel beyond what is provided by Red Hat.
The life cycle of Red Hat Enterprise Linux is at least seven years for versions 3 and 4, and spans at least 10 years for versions 5, 6 and 7.
To maintain a stable application binary interface (ABI), Red Hat does not update the kernel version, but instead backports new features to the same kernel version with which a particular version of RHEL has been released.
Consequently, RHEL may use a Linux kernel with a dated version number, yet the kernel is up-to-date regarding not only security fixes, but also certain features.
One specific example is the socket option which was added to Linux kernel 3.9, and was subsequently backported and became available since RHEL 6.5, which uses version 2.6.32 of the Linux kernel.
For the first 6 months of the EUS channel / yum repo, features may be added, but then the channel is locked down so that only bug and security fixes are patched.
EUS allows the organization / company to stay on a minor version if required by a third party application which is only tested with a particular minor version of RHEL, such as Oracle Database, IBM DB2, IBM Cloud Orchestrator, hortonworks.
There may also be extra costs associated with using the EUS repos/channels depending on the agreement the organization / company has with Red Hat.
The standard base channel for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, which is the most recent minor release aka rhel 7Y where y is the latest greatest.
In addition to normal OS updates, RHEL 8 also maintains application streams to allow for certain applications to be supported and updated independent of the base OS and to match the maintenance stream of the application vendor.
Each application stream will be supported from two to five years with new versions only available during the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Full Support Phase.
The new facility includes an overpass extension that ties the original station east of the tracks with a new entrance on the west side off NY 9A, new parking and a landscaped, canopy-covered, intermodal drop-off plaza.
The leaves are arranged in decussate pairs, scale-like, 3–10 mm long, glossy green above, and marked with vivid white stomatal bands below; they have a distinctive thick, almost fleshy texture.
The seed cones are ovoid, 7–15 mm long and 6–10 mm diameter, with 6–12 thick scales, brown with a violet-white wax bloom when fresh.
In the latter two regions, planting is confined to areas with good rainfall or in gardens with reliable irrigation, as the species is not drought tolerant.
She has been the Lord Mayor of the City of Sydney since 2004 and is currently the longest serving Lord Mayor of Sydney since the creation of the City of Sydney in 1842.
She was an independent member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1988 to 2012, representing the electorates of Bligh (1988–2007) and Sydney (2007–2012).
Clover Margaret Collins was born in 1945 and grew up in the suburb of Gordon, on Sydney's North Shore, one of three daughters of Kathleen and Francis Collins.
Moore matriculated to the University of Sydney, and obtained a Bachelor of Arts in 1969 and a Diploma of Education from the Sydney Teachers' College, and resided at Sancta Sophia College.
After graduation she began work as an English and History teacher at Fort Street High School, before moving to London to teach for several years.
However in 1981, the New South Wales Government amalgamated the South Sydney Council with the City of Sydney, and Moore was subsequently elected to the newly formed Sydney City Council from 1981.
Moore developed a visible profile in the community, campaigning on a variety of issues both in her position as councillor and in the broader community.
In 1987 the state government abruptly sacked the Sydney City Council and appointed a board of commissioners to run it until new elections could be held.
Instead of standing again for council, Moore decided to run for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as an independent at the 1988 election.
In the same year, she was re-elected for a second term with a massive swing in her favour, increasing her share from 26.7 per cent to 43 per cent.
Her power also increased dramatically when, along with fellow independents Peter Macdonald and Tony Windsor, she gained the balance of power in the Legislative Assembly.
Moore was to again take the spotlight when the Independent Commission Against Corruption handed down a finding that was sharply critical of Liberal Premier Nick Greiner on 1 June 1992.
While the findings were still pending a ruling in the NSW Court of Appeals, Moore and two other Independent MPs made a symbolic march to the NSW Parliament with a threat to withdraw their support of the coalition's minority-government.
The LGBT community thanked her for her support by featuring likenesses of her in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade that year.
Although she sat as an independent in parliament, Moore often worked with other minor parties and independents, particularly with the Australian Democrats, who sponsored some of her bills in the upper house and Moore encouraged voters at the 2011 state election to vote for the Democrats in the upper house, along with South Coast Independent MP, John Hatton.
Following her re-election as mayor in the 2012 elections, she was forced to resign the state seat she held for 24 years before the first meeting of the new council.
This resulted in a 2012 Sydney by-election on 27 October in which she endorsed independent candidate Alex Greenwich of the Australian Marriage Equality advocacy group who won in a landslide victory.
In early 2004, the Labor Party government under Bob Carr sacked and re-amalgamated the City of Sydney and South Sydney Councils.
The move came largely as a surprise, with then-Lord Mayor Lucy Turnbull being notified by a fax posted under her door.
The decision to amalgamate the two councils was widely interpreted by the media as an attempt to get the Labor candidate, former federal minister Michael Lee, elected as Lord Mayor, as it would bring a large area of largely Labor-voting suburbs into the City of Sydney.
Despite a spirited challenge from Lee, who was supported by much of the business community which had concerns about Moore's anti-development stance, Moore won.
Though she had made a point of not directing voting preferences in her four election campaigns in the Legislative Assembly, Moore decided to support a team of independents for the council race.
This turned out to be quite successful, with four of her team of six – John McInerney, Robyn Kemmis, Marcelle Hoff and Phillip Black – being elected to council.
In the 2016 NSW local government elections she was comfortably returned to office, improving her vote 8.0% to win 59.1% of the popular vote.
It has installed bicycle lanes; upgraded its car fleet to hybrids; planted 10,000 trees; provided 600 on-street car-share spaces; installed Sydney's largest building-based solar photovoltaic system; installed water harvesting in 11 major parks and voted to install two new trigeneration plants.
Moore stated in an article on Impakter.com in September 2018 that emissions in Sydney have been reduced by 52% and the use of water by 36% since the year 2006 and that the city aims to become carbon neutral.
On 27 October 2007 Moore proposed a Private Members Bill that would ban the sale of dogs, cats and other mammals in NSW pet stores, and effectively ban the breeding of crossbred dogs.
Bike lanes constructed through Sydney angered many local residents for reducing parking and critics attacked the cost while other groups, including local headmasters and school groups, applauded them.
Between 2014 and 2017 'Cloud Arch', a steel sculpture intended to be installed over George Street in Sydney, had its budget rise from to 11.3 million dollars.
It has been criticised for both the rise in cost, after a re-design, and for not being suited to the city's aesthetic.
It is the main transfer point between the Hudson Line's local and express service and marks the endpoint of third rail electrification on the route.
Ma'anshan (), also colloquially written as Maanshan, is a prefecture-level city in the eastern part of Anhui province in Eastern China.
An industrial city stretching across the Yangtze River, Ma'anshan borders Hefei to the west, Wuhu to the southwest, and Nanjing to the east.
It is a satellite city of the Nanjing metropolitan area and is also a city in the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone.
As of the 2010 census, Ma'anshan was home to 2,202,899 inhabitants, of whom 1,366,302 lived in the built-up area made of three urban districts and Dangtu County, which is largely urbanized.
In September 2012, Jinjiazhuang District was dissolved and merged with Huashan District, while part of Dangtu County was split and established as Bowang District.
According to legend, the name came to be when the Western Chu hegemon Xiang Yu was fleeing from the Battle of Gaixia.
Rather than be captured, the defeated general killed himself at the area now known as Ma'anshan after ensuring that his beloved horse would be ferried across the river to safety.
The coming of a railroad and the opening of the Huai-nan coalfield in the 1930s made it possible for the Japanese to open an iron and steel works in 1938.
Although destroyed at the end of the Second World War, the industries were restored to production in 1953, and Ma'anshan grew rapidly under the Communists' first and second Five-Year Plans.
Its climate is similar to other cities in the Yangtze River Delta, with lower humidity that makes its summers and winters less extreme.
Ma'anshan city has an annual manufacture investment ranking No.1 in Anhui Province and her GDP ranks No.4 in Anhui Province after Hefei, Anqing and Wuhu.
Ma'anshan's population ranks No.16 in the province and has a GDP per capita of US$7,118 which is No.1 in Anhui Province and near the average of Yangtze River Delta.
Maanshan has been identified by the Economist Intelligence Unit in the November 2010 Access China White Paper as a member of the CHAMPS (Chongqing, Hefei, Anshan, Ma'anshan, Pingdingshan and Shenyang), an economic profile of the top 20 emerging cities in China.
The deep water river port of Ma'anshan, with custom offices ensures fast and inexpensive transportation to other cities both in the East coast, and the inner cities along the Yangtze River.
Nanjing Lukou International Airport is from Ma'anshan, with direct flights to every corner of China and also daily flights to Europe.
The city has one Yangtze River crossing—the Ma'anshan Yangtze River Bridge, opened in 2013, enables direct road access to cities in northern Anhui.
The edges of a large leaf are pierced and sewn together with plant fibre or spider silk to make a cradle in which the actual nest is built.
They have short rounded wings, a long tail, strong legs and a sharp bill with curved tip to the upper mandible.
The sexes are identical, except that the male has long central tail feathers in the breeding season, although the reliability of sexing data accompanying museum specimens used in determining this sexual dimorphism has been questioned.
These are due to the dark pigmented and bare skin that are present in both sexes and sometimes give the appearance of a dark gorget.
The birds roost alone during the non-breeding season but may roost side-by-side during the breeding season, sometimes with the newly fledged juvenile sandwiched between the adults.
The roost sites chosen are thin twigs on trees with cover above them and were often close to human habitation and lights.
In Sri Lanka the main breeding periods are March to May and August to September, although they can breed throughout the year.
The nest is a deep cup, lined with soft materials and placed in thick foliage and the leaves holding the nest have the upper surfaces outwards making it difficult to spot.
The punctures made on the edge of the leaves are minute and do not cause browning of the leaves, further aiding camouflage.
One observer noted that the birds did not utilize cotton that was made available while another observer, Edward Hamilton Aitken, was able to induce them to use artificially supplied cotton.
The female alone incubates according to some sources, while others suggest that both sexes incubate; however, both parents take part in feeding and sanitation.
An unusual case of a pair of tailorbirds adopting chicks in an artificially translocated nest belonging to a different pair has been recorded.
Trained within the Neo-Kantian Marburg School, he initially followed his mentor Hermann Cohen in attempting to supply an idealistic philosophy of science.
After Cohen's death, Cassirer developed a theory of symbolism and used it to expand phenomenology of knowledge into a more general philosophy of culture.
After working for many years as a at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin, Cassirer was elected in 1919 to the philosophy chair at the newly founded University of Hamburg, where he lectured until 1933, supervising amongst others the doctoral theses of Joachim Ritter and Leo Strauss.
After leaving Germany he taught for a couple of years at the University of Oxford, before becoming a professor at Gothenburg University.
When Cassirer considered Sweden too unsafe, he applied for a post at Harvard University, but was rejected because thirty years earlier he had rejected a job offer from them.
In 1941 he became a visiting professor at Yale University, then moved to Columbia University in New York City, where he lectured from 1943 until his death in 1945.
His grave is located in Westwood, New Jersey, on the Cedar Park Beth-El Cemeteries in the graves of the Congregation Habonim.
Warburg was an art historian who was particularly interested in ritual and myth as sources of surviving forms of emotional expression.
Although inter-subjective objective validity in the natural sciences derives from universal laws of nature, Cassirer asserts that an analogous type of inter-subjective objective validity takes place in the cultural sciences.
Cassirer sees Nazi Germany as a society in which the dangerous power of myth is not checked or subdued by superior forces.
The book discusses the opposition of logos and mythos in Greek thought, Plato's Republic, the medieval theory of the state, Machiavelli, Thomas Carlyle's writings on hero worship, the racial theories of Arthur de Gobineau, and Hegel.
Cassirer claimed that in 20th-century politics there was a return, with the passive acquiescence of Martin Heidegger, to the irrationality of myth, and in particular to a belief that there is such a thing as destiny.
Of this passive acquiescence, Cassirer says that in departing from Husserl's belief in an objective, logical basis for philosophy, Heidegger attenuated the ability of philosophy to oppose the resurgence of myth in German politics of the 1930s.
As a youth, during the reign of Stanisław August Poniatowski, he moved to Poland to become the music tutor to the children of Princess Sapieha.
Organisation was a predecessor to Kraftwerk, which was formed by two members of the band, Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider-Esleben, after the album's release.
Sales were poor and RCA opted to drop the band, which then dissolved following the departure of Hutter and Schneider-Esleben to Kraftwerk.
This song features the short-lived line-up of Florian Schneider, Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger (Ralf Hütter had left the group during this period to pursue studies in architecture).
Gideon Brand van Zyl, PC (; 3 June 1873 – 1 November 1956) was Governor-General of the Union of South Africa from 1945 to 1950.
Born in Cape Town, he was the son of a prominent attorney, and he joined the family firm after qualifying at the University of Cape Town.
In World War I (1914–1918), he was Deputy Director of War Recruiting, and served in the Cape Peninsula Garrison Regiment (a home defence unit).
He was a member of the Cape Provincial Council (the provincial legislature) until 1918, and then a member of Parliament until 1942.
Arseny Grigoryevich Zverev (; 18 February 1900 – 27 July 1969) was a Soviet Russian politician, economist and statesman whose career spanned the rules of Stalin and Khrushchev, but culminated during the Stalin years.
After years in local politics, he rose to prominence as a Deputy Commissar of Finance, but he also held other lesser posts such as a member of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union.
As Deputy Commissar of Finance he was able to work up, and eventually get promoted to People's Commissar for Finance (renamed to Ministry in 1946).
Before attending university, Zverev worked from 1913 to 1919 at two factories, the first being Vysokovsky manufactory located in Moscow Oblast and Trekhgorny factory in the city of Moscow.
By 1919 he had joined both the Russian Communist Party (bolsheviks) (RCP(b)) and the Red Army to fight in the Russian Civil War.
In 1922, he became the head of the local Agitation and Propaganda Department, and two years later, an agent of the provincial Financial Department of Moscow.
In 1927 he became Chairman of the Executive Committee of Klin, and later in 1929, Head of Tax Administration of the Financial Department of Smolensk Oblast.
From 1931 to 1932 he attended the Moscow Institute of Finance and Economics and from 1936 to 1937 a District Council Chairman in Moscow.
Due to mass arrests perpetrated by the Soviet state in the 1930s, known as the Great Purge, Zverev along with many others were quickly promoted to the top of Soviet bureaucracy.
He was a member of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union from 1937 to 1950 and again from 1954 to 1962.
In the meantime he held a range of offices in government, the first being the position of Deputy Commissar for Finance in September 1937 but was again quickly promoted, this time to the office of the People's Commissar for Finance, the head of Soviet finance.
During the Great Patriotic War, Zverev was responsible for providing the necessary funds for the Soviet military for the production of new equipment.
He got his old office back in December 1948 and in October 1952 became a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee.
Following his leave as Minister of Finance, he became Deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union on 1-2 and 4-5 convocations before leaving politics for good.
Irish had diminished as a spoken tongue, remaining the main daily language only in isolated rural areas, with English having become the dominant language in the majority of Ireland.
Interest in Gaelic culture was evident in the beginning of the nineteenth century with the formation of the Ulster Gaelic Society in 1830, and later in the scholarly works of John O'Donovan and Eugene O'Curry, and the foundation of the Ossianic Society.
Concern for spoken Irish led to the formation of the Society for the Preservation of the Irish Language in 1876, and the Gaelic Union in 1880.
The objective of the League was to encourage the use of Irish in everyday life in order to counter the ongoing anglicisation of the country.
It organised weekly gatherings to discuss Irish culture, hosted conversation meetings, edited and periodically published a newspaper named , and successfully campaigned to have Irish included in the school curriculum.
It had fraught relationships with other cultural movements of the time, such as the Pan-Celtic movement and the Irish Literary Revival.
Early pioneers of Irish scholarship were John O'Donovan, Eugene O'Curry and George Petrie; O'Donovan and O'Curry found an outlet for their work in the Archaeological Society, founded in 1840.
From 1853, translations of Irish literary works, particularly mythological works of the Ossianic Cycle—associated with the Fianna—were published by the Ossianic Society, in which Standish Hayes O'Grady was active.
The Society for the Preservation of the Irish Language was formed in 1877 by, among others, George Sigerson and Thomas O'Neill Russell.
The secretary of that society, Father John Nolan, split with it in 1880 and formed the Gaelic Union, of which the president was The O'Conor Don, and whose members included Douglas Hyde and Michael Cusack.
Cusack's interest in Gaelic culture was not restricted to the language; he took a keen interest in the traditional games of Ireland, and in 1884, with Maurice Davin, he would found the Gaelic Athletic Association to promote the games of Gaelic football, hurling and handball.
Its first editor was David Comyn; he was followed by John Fleming, a prominent Irish scholar, and then Father Eugene O'Growney.
He said that the Irish people had become almost completely anglicised, and that this could only be reversed through building up the language.
Its focus on the vernacular form of language and modern literature distinguished it from the Society for the Preservation of the Irish Language, The Celtic Society and the Gaelic Union.
Although it was more concerned with fostering the language in the home than with teaching it in schools, it was nonetheless successful in having Irish added to the curriculum; the number of schools teaching it rose from about a dozen in the 1880s to 1,300 in 1903.
In March of the following year, following a dispute with the owner, this was replaced by , with MacNeill again as editor.
In 1901 MacNeill was replaced as editor by Eoghan Ó Neachtain, who was in turn replaced in 1903 by Patrick Pearse.
The League also concerned itself with the folk music of Ireland, and was involved in the movement which led to the organisation of the Feis Ceoil (Festival of Music) by Annie Patterson in 1897.
The League's relations with contemporary cultural movements were strained, and sometimes hostile, despite the fact that some of the League's leaders were on friendly terms with those movements.
Pan-Celticism was viewed with suspicion by many members because its leaders in Ireland, especially Lord Castletown, were closely associated with the Irish establishment.
When Douglas Hyde was invited to the planned Pan-Celtic Congress of 1900—to be held in Dublin—as a delegate of the League, the (executive committee) refused to send any representative, though Hyde might attend as an individual if he wished.
The Irish Literary Revival was denounced because its works were written in English, not Irish, and therefore tended even more towards anglicisation.
Born in Vilna, he grew up poor and first worked braiding lace in Kovno, where he was associated with the devout, moralistic Musar movement of Rabbi Israel Salanter.
Forcibly conscripted into the Russian Army just before his twentieth birthday, he was soon released due to Czar Alexander II's revocation of the harsh conscription law.
However, life in New York was not conducive to his muse, and he wrote little in the years after his arrival in America, mostly poems rather than songs.
Zunser was saved from penury in his final years by a benefit performance on his behalf held at Cooper Union on March 30, 1905, which raised enough money to give him a pension.
Zsigmondy was born in Vienna, Austrian Empire, to Hungarian parents Irma Szakmáry, a poet born in Martonvásár, and Adolf Zsigmondy Sr., a scientist from Pressburg (Pozsony, today's Bratislava) who invented several surgical instruments for use in dentistry.
His elder brothers, Otto (a dentist) and Emil (a physician), were well-known mountain climbers; his younger brother, Karl Zsigmondy, became a notable mathematician in Vienna.
In high school Richard developed an interest in natural science, especially in chemistry and physics, and experimented in his home laboratory.
He began his academic career at the University of Vienna Medical Faculty, but soon moved to the Technical University of Vienna, and later to the University of Munich, to study chemistry under Wilhelm von Miller (1848–1899).
Zsigmondy left organic chemistry to join the physics group of August Kundt at the University of Berlin, and completed his habilitation at the University of Graz in 1893.
Because of his knowledge about glass and its colouring, in 1897 the Schott Glass factory offered him a job which he accepted.
His scientific career continued in 1908 at the University of Göttingen, where he stayed for the rest of his professional career as professor of inorganic chemistry.
In 1925, Zsigmondy received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his work on colloids and the methods he used, such as the ultramicroscope.
Before Zsigmondy finished his PhD thesis in organic chemistry, he published research on colouring glass with silver salts and dissolved silver particles, which he recovered by dissolving the glass in hydrofluoric acid.
The exact mechanism which yields the red colour of the Cranberry or Ruby glass was a result of his studies of colloids.
The establishment of a new city-fortress was a part of the deal between the Protestant nobility of Inner Austria and the archduke Charles II of Austria.
In exchange for their religious freedom the nobility agreed to finance the building of a new fortress against the Ottoman Empire.
It was founded as a six-pointed star fortress built on the Zrinski estate near the old town of Dubovac at the confluence of the Kupa and Korana rivers.
It was intentionally built on terrain exposed to flooding and disease from unhealthy water, with the intent to hamper the Turkish advance.
The first church (of the Holy Trinity) was built in the central square in 1580, but all of the city buildings burned down in the fire of 1594.
The forces of the Ottoman Empire laid siege to Karlovac seven times, the last time in 1672, but failed to occupy it.
As a military outpost of the Habsburg Monarchy, Karlovac was the site of the trial and execution of the best-known leader of the rebel Uskoks from the coastal fort of Senj, Ivan Vlatković.
He was executed in Karlovac on 3 July 1612 as an example to his troops who were creating difficulties for the Habsurgs by their piracy against Venetian shipping on the Adriatic Sea, and by marauding raids into the Ottoman hinterland.
When the Treaty of Paris (ratified in Madrid) was concluded in 1617, bringing an end to the war between Venice and the Habsburgs, under the terms of the treaty the Uskok families were forcibly removed from Senj and disbanded into the hinterland, most notably in the Žumberak hills near Karlovac.
Meanwhile, the fort was becoming too crowded for the city's expanding population and the Military Frontier government could not allow for its further growth.
Queen Maria Theresa, after long insistence from the Croatian Diet, restored the towns of Karlovac and Rijeka (Fiume) to the Croatian crownland on August 9, 1776.
Maria Theresa was also responsible for the founding of Gymnasium Karlovac, and later King Joseph II reaffirmed it as a free town with an official charter in 1781.
This allowed the citizens to expand the city and exploit the potential of being at the crossroads of paths from the Pannonian plains to the Adriatic coast.
The town blossomed in the 18th and 19th centuries with the development of roads to the seaside and waterways along the Kupa River.
In the late 19th and early 20th century, Karlovac was a district capital in the Zagreb County of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia within the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The southern sections of the city found themselves close to the front lines between the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Serbian Krajina, with shelling devastating the neighborhoods of Turanj, Kamensko, as well as parts of Mekušje, Mala Švarča and Logorište.
The Karlovac City Museum has transformed the old Austrian military barracks of Turanj into a museum exhibition dedicated to the military history of Karlovac and in particular, through the exhibited weapons, of the Croatian War of Independence.
HS Produkt is arguably best known as the designer and manufacturer of the HS2000 pistol, sold in the United States as the Springfield Armory XD.
A documentary film made by Dušan Vukotić in 1979 on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the founding of the city plays much on that theme, and shows pictures of happy bathers on the Korana's Fogina beach (Foginovo kupalište) in the city centre.
Most of the parks are planted in the former trenches dug around the old military fort that were once filled with water as an added layer of protection from the marauding Ottoman armies.
One part of the city centre maintains the name of Šanac ('trench') after the old trenches which preserve the old hexagonal form of the historic centre.
49,140 of its citizens were Croats (88.21%), 4,460 were Serbs (8.01%), 250 were Bosniaks (0.45%), 237 were Albanians (0.43%), 72 were ethnic Macedonians (0.13%), 49 were Montenegrins (0.09%), and the rest were other ethnicities.
Population by religion in 2011 was following: 45,876 Roman Catholics (82.36%), 3,866 Orthodox Christians (6.94%), 2,806 Atheists (5.04%), 705 Muslims (1.27%), 488 Agnostics (0.88%), and others.
Much of the population of Karlovac has changed since the beginning of the 1991-95 Croatian War of Independence, with numerous families of Croatian Serbs leaving and being replaced by people who were themselves displaced from parts of Croatia that were held by rebel Serbs during the war (such as from the town of Slunj), as well as by families of Bosnian Croats who started arriving during the war.
The migration outflow was mostly towards Serbia, the Republika Srpska entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to countries of Western Europe, North America and Australia.
Karlovac Music School, one of the oldest educational music institutions from this part of Europe (established on December 1, 1804), is the home of Karlovac Piano Festival.
Karlovac Piano Festival (founded in 2013) is typically held in mid-summer, and consists of master classes with renowned piano pedagogues as well as Karlovac International Piano Competition.
Music school also hosts International guitar school, while in Karlovac theatre Zorin dom Croatian Flute Academy is traditionally held, so during summer months Karlovac is center of young artists of Europe.
In the 20th century, Karlovac was a breeding ground for young rock bands, most notably Elektroni in the 1960s and Nužni Izlaz, Prije svega disciplina, Duhovna pastva and Lorelei in the 1970s and the 1980s.
Member yachts are given the Suffix RYS to their names, and permitted to wear the White Ensign of the Royal Navy rather than the merchant Red Ensign worn by the majority of other UK registered vessels.
The club's patron is Queen Elizabeth II and the club's admiral is Prince Philip who is also a former club commodore.
Founded on 1 June 1815 in the Thatched House Tavern in St James's, London as The Yacht Club by 42 gentlemen interested in sea yachting, the original members decided to meet in London and in Cowes twice a year, to discuss yachting over dinner.
Its association with the Royal Navy began early and Nelson's captain at Trafalgar, Admiral Sir Thomas Hardy, headed the list of naval members.
The burgee (a triangular shaped flag identifying yacht club membership) is differenced with a St George's Cross and crown on a white background.
In August 2013, the members of Royal Yacht Squadron voted to allow full membership to women, which had been restricted since its foundation.
In 1851, the club's commodore, visiting the Great Exhibition, issued a challenge for the squadron's £100 Cup for a race around the island.
This elegant creation provides on shore facilities for yachtsmen and their families while allowing the castle to retain its 'country house' ambiance.
He is most notably remembered for his time in the Premier League, with Manchester United, where he spent six years of his career, winning numerous trophies in the process.
He also played in the top division of English football for Arsenal, Newcastle United, Blackburn Rovers, Fulham, Manchester City, Portsmouth and Sunderland, as well as in the Football League for Bristol City, Birmingham City, Burnley and Nottingham Forest.
Cole has the distinction of being one of the few players in England to have swept all possible honours in the English game, including the PFA Young Player of the Year award, as well as the coveted UEFA Champions League title.
Cole was also capped 15 times for the England national team between 1995 and 2001, scoring once against Albania in a 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifier.
He made his only league appearance for Arsenal, aged 19, as a substitute against Sheffield United at Highbury during a First Division match on 29 December 1990.
He also made a substitute appearance against Tottenham Hotspur in the Charity Shield in 1991 and almost made an immediate impact, hitting the side netting from outside the penalty area.
Cole joined Second Division Bristol City on loan in March 1992 before signing in a £500,000 permanent deal in the summer of 1992, at the time becoming their most expensive player.
Having proved himself as a competent young goalscorer with Bristol City (who began the 1992–93 season in the new Football League Division One following the creation of the Premier League), Cole was quickly one of the hottest prospects in England and his name was regularly linked with Premier League clubs throughout the 1992–93 season.
His 12 goals included two hat-tricks, the first against Barnsley on 7 April, the second on the final day of the season in a 7–1 hammering of Leicester City.
He also scored the first of the club's two goals in their 2–0 promotion clinching win over Grimsby Town at Blundell Park on 4 May.
After David Kelly was sold to Wolverhampton Wanderers, manager Kevin Keegan brought in Peter Beardsley as Cole's strike partner for the 1993–94 Premier League campaign.
Cole scored 34 goals in 40 matches during Newcastle's first Premier League season as they finished third and qualified for the UEFA Cup.
Cole scored 41 total goals in all competitions – breaking the club's goalscoring record which had been set by Hughie Gallacher nearly 70 years earlier (Gallacher still holds the record for the highest number of league goals in a season with 36).
His first top division goal was in a 1–1 draw against defending league champions Manchester United (who went on to win the double) at Old Trafford on 21 August.
Another hat-trick followed against Coventry City in late February and with Peter Beardsley almost as lethal as his strike partner, Newcastle finished third in the league and qualified for the UEFA Cup for the first time since the 1970s.
Cole then scored 9 goals in 18 Premier League matches for Newcastle after the start of the 1994–95 season, and also scored a hat-trick against Royal Antwerp in the UEFA Cup.
On 10 January 1995, Cole was suddenly sold in a shock deal to Manchester United for a deal worth £7 million – £6 million cash plus £1 million-rated Keith Gillespie going in the opposite direction, setting a new record for the most expensive British transfer.
Despite joining halfway through the 1994–95 season, Cole still managed to score 12 goals in just 18 Premier League matches for United.
This included his first, the winner in a 1–0 victory over Aston Villa on 4 February at Old Trafford and five in the 9–0 rout of Ipswich Town, making him the first player to score five goals in a Premier League match.
However, Cole missed two goal chances in the final minutes against West Ham United on the final day of the season as they could only manage a 1–1 draw and the league title went to Blackburn Rovers instead.
United were also without the banned Eric Cantona and the injured Andrei Kanchelskis, the club's two other highest scoring players that season.
Cole's first full season in 1995–96 with Manchester United proved to be difficult, as Cole struggled to find his trademark form in a side now built around the much heralded return of Eric Cantona.
Though Cole scored in four-straight matches during the winter, including an important opening goal in United's 2–0 defeat of title rivals Newcastle United on 27 December, Cole was badgered by fans and critics alike across much of the season for only scoring 14 times and missing many chances.
However, Cole picked up his form in the business end of the season and scored critical goals including the equaliser in the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea to help send United to Wembley Stadium again.
He then collected his first Premier League title winners medal and scored the second goal in United's 3–0 defeat of Middlesbrough on the final day of the season to help United win the Premier League title for the third time in four years.
He also played in their FA Cup final victory to become part of England's first ever side to win the double twice.
Before the 1996–97 season began, Cole had to deal with being offered to Blackburn Rovers as part-exchange in a £12 million deal that would have brought Alan Shearer to Old Trafford, but the offer was rejected and Shearer joined Newcastle instead.
Despite Alex Ferguson's clear indication to Cole that he was looking for another striker, after the Shearer deal fell through, Cole fought to stay at the club and was handed the number 9 shirt, having previously worn 17.
The arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjær – and being the victim of two broken legs suffered after a tackle by Neil Ruddock in a reserve match against Liverpool, restricted Cole's first-team chances further.
However, he managed to recover by December that year and still played in 20 Premier League matches (ten as a substitute) for the season.
Cole then ended the season strongly with several crucial goals in both the league (such as away at title rivals Arsenal), and in the UEFA Champions League (where he scored a goal voted the season's best European goal against Porto) to complete his comeback from injury.
For the 1997–98 season, the retirement of Eric Cantona saw Cole emerge as first choice striker once again, and he discovered his best form ever for the club.
He became the joint top goalscorer in the Premier League during the course of the season with 18 goals, including a slew of spectacular goals, one of which (a chip against Everton) had the fans' vote as the Manchester United goal of the season.
Cole also developed a strong partnership with Teddy Sheringham (despite considerable personal friction between the two), but United finished trophyless for only the second time in nine seasons as they lost to Arsenal in the end.
Cole achieved several personal landmarks in this campaign, scoring his first European hat-trick for the club in an away match at Feyenoord, as well as ending the season as runner-up in the PFA Players' Player of the Year award to Arsenal's Dennis Bergkamp.
Despite this accreditation, and being the leading goalscorer in all competitions that season with 25, Cole was omitted from England's 1998 FIFA World Cup squad by then-manager Glenn Hoddle.
Cole remained upbeat when interviewed and when asked about his new-found return to success, he claimed he had found freedom in his life after the injuries of the previous season, saying he had great joy with his newborn son and lived for him and his family in his faith as a born-again Christian.
He also claimed the friendship of Ryan Giggs, his roommate on away matches, was a major motivating factor through the tough times when fans doubted him at United.
Cole faced competition from new signing Dwight Yorke, Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjær during the 1998–99 season, but ended up developing an immensely successful partnership with Yorke.
The two contributed 53 goals between them and were rated as one of the most feared attacking partnerships in Europe, with the pair scoring against sides like Barcelona away at the Camp Nou, and repeating the form all season with incredible one-touch passes and assists that at times seemed to demonstrate a telepathic understanding.
Cole played a key role in the side's unique treble of the Premier League title, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League.
Cole scored the winning goal in United's final Premier League match of the season against Tottenham Hotspur, a result which meant United finished one point ahead of rivals Arsenal to win the Premier League title.
He also scored United's third and winning goal in their Champions League semi-final second leg against Juventus, sealing their place in the final for the first time in over 30 years.
Also in this season, Cole scored his 100th Premier League goal in a top-of-the-table clash against Arsenal at Old Trafford on 17 February; the match ended 1–1.
During United's pre-season tour of Australia in July 1999, Cole was involved in a horror tackle which left 19-year-old Australian defender Simon Colosimo sidelined for six months and requiring a complete knee reconstruction.
Before the injury, Colosimo was one of Australia's best young players and was about to make a big money move to Europe, and was never able to complete a career in Europe, despite a handful of appearances for Manchester City.
He collected his fourth Premier League title medal in five seasons, and scored over 20 goals in all competitions for the third successive season.
Cole scored many goals for United including the only goal of the game in their top-of-the-table clash against their closest rivals Leeds United.
He also joined an elite group during this season by scoring his 100th goal for the club in a 2–2 draw against Wimbledon.
Another title followed in 2000–01 when, despite suffering from an injury that restricted his appearances, Cole scored 13 goals in all competitions, including four in the UEFA Champions League, allowing him (at the time) to become Manchester United's record goal scorer in European competition of all-time.
The following 2001–02 season saw Cole face competition from new signing Ruud van Nistelrooy, as well as Dwight Yorke, Ole Gunnar Solskjær and also Paul Scholes for places up front, with Sir Alex Ferguson adopting a more conservative approach, especially in European matches, by playing Scholes behind Van Nistelrooy with Roy Keane and Juan Sebastián Verón in a three-man midfield.
Cole made one last appearance for Manchester United in the UEFA Celebration Match six years later, on 13 March 2007, coming on at half-time for a friendly match between Manchester United and a European XI, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the European Community and 50 years of Manchester United in the European Cup.
The arrival of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Juan Sebastián Verón counted against Cole's first-team chances in the 2001–02 season, and on 29 December 2001, Cole was sold to Blackburn Rovers for £8 million.
Within two months of arriving, he had collected a League Cup winners medal, scoring the winning goal for Blackburn in the final against Tottenham Hotspur, who were managed by the former England manager and open critic of Cole, Glenn Hoddle.
This victory meant that, in the space of seven seasons, Cole had won all four domestic trophies plus a European trophy.
Cole ended the season with a total of 18 goals in all competitions, 5 for Manchester United and 13 in just 20 matches for Blackburn.
That campaign saw Cole reunited with Dwight Yorke, who had signed for Blackburn from Manchester United for £2 million in July 2002.
Cole had a frustrating season in 2003–04 season, as Rovers slid into the bottom half of the Premier League, finishing 15th.
Thirteen years after spending a month on loan at Fulham, Cole returned to Craven Cottage for the 2004–05 season, joining them on a one-year contract.
Despite this successful period at Fulham, he decided to leave the club after only one season as his family wanted to return to the North West.
Cole signed for Manchester City on a free transfer at the beginning of the 2005–06 season, and enjoyed a good start to his career at Eastlands.
Stuart Pearce's side spent most of the season in the top half of the table, but Cole's season was ended by injury in March.
Despite signing a new contract with Manchester City only months earlier and leaving Fulham in 2005 to return to the north, Cole signed for south coast club Portsmouth on transfer deadline day (31 August 2006) for an undisclosed fee, reported as £500,000 with the potential to rise to £1 million depending on appearances.
He scored his first league goal for his new club in the 2–0 win at home to West Ham United on 14 October.
However, Cole struggled to break into Harry Redknapp's side and in March 2007, he signed on loan for Birmingham City of the Championship until the end of the season.
After being released by Portsmouth at the end of the 2006–07 season, Cole signed a one-year contract with Sunderland on a free transfer, reuniting him once more with former Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers strike partner Dwight Yorke, and under the management of former United teammate Roy Keane.
After seven matches for the club, Cole spent three months on loan at Burnley where he scored six goals for the Championship club, including a hat-trick against Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road.
However, on 31 October 2008, Forest confirmed Cole's contract had been cancelled by mutual consent after 11 appearances and 0 goals.
Despite first being capped for England in 1995, Cole earned only 15 caps by the time he announced his retirement from international football after failing to be selected for the 2002 World Cup squad.
Glenn Hoddle, in defence of his decision not to select Cole for the World Cup in 1998, accused Cole of needing six or seven chances to score one goal.
He made his debut against Uruguay under Terry Venables in 1995; appeared next against Italy under Glenn Hoddle at the Tournoi de France in 1997; made his third appearance against France under caretaker Howard Wilkinson in 1999; and finally earned his fourth cap against Poland under new manager Kevin Keegan in his first starting appearance a few weeks later.
In August 2009, Cole was hired by his former Manchester United and England teammate, Milton Keynes Dons manager Paul Ince, to coach the club's forwards on an initially temporary basis.
However, one week later, Cole agreed to spend at least two days a week working on finishing with the forwards at Huddersfield Town, under his former Newcastle United and Fulham teammate Lee Clark.
Cole's father, Lincoln, emigrated to the UK from Jamaica in 1957 and worked as a coal miner in Gedling, Nottinghamshire, from 1965 to 1987.
In 2008, Cole was questioned by police after an alleged assault on his wife in their Alderley Edge, Cheshire, home before being released on bail.
Six months later, Cole, through his representative law firm Schillings, won damages in an action against the owners of the Daily Star for defamation regarding the publication of material concerning the assault allegations and for harms caused against his family by sensationalist reports.
In 2000, Cole visited Zimbabwe and returned to set up his own charitable foundation, called the Andy Cole Children's Foundation, which helped AIDS orphans in the country.
Although the current meaning of the word is believed to have originated in Persia, its use has spread and now has been accepted into the vernacular in countries around the world.
Although the lack of archaeological evidence has limited detailed studies of the evolution of bazaars, indications suggest that they initially developed outside city walls where they were often associated with servicing the needs of caravanserai.
As towns and cities became more populous, these bazaars moved into the city center and developed in a linear pattern along streets stretching from one city gate to another gate on the opposite side of the city.
The rise of large bazaars and stock trading centres in the Muslim world allowed the creation of new capitals and eventually new empires.
Bazaars were typically situated in close proximity to ruling palaces, citadels or mosques, not only because the city afforded traders some protection, but also because palaces and cities generated substantial demand for goods and services.
Bazaars located along these trade routes, formed networks, linking major cities with each other and in which goods, culture, people and information could be exchanged.
The Greek historian, Herodotus, noted that in Egypt, roles were reversed compared with other cultures and Egyptian women frequented the market and carried on trade, while the men remain at home weaving cloth.
City bazaars occupied a series of alleys along the length of the city, typically stretching from one city gate to a different gate on the other side of the city.
The Bazaar of Tabriz, for example, stretches along 1.5 kilometres of street and is the longest vaulted bazaar in the world.
Moosavi argues that the Middle-Eastern bazaar evolved in a linear pattern, whereas the market places of the West were more centralised.
In spite of the centrality of the Middle East in the history of bazaars, relatively little is known due to the lack of archaeological evidence.
Today, bazaars are popular sites for tourists and some of these ancient bazaars have been listed as world heritage sites or national monuments on the basis of their historical, cultural or architectural value.
The Medina of Fez, Morocco, with its labyrinthine covered market streets was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981.
European society generally frowned on nude painting – but harems, concubines and slave markets, presented as quasi-documentary works, satisfied European desires for pornographic art.
The Oriental female wearing a veil was a particularly tempting subject because she was hidden from view, adding to her mysterious allure.
British painter John Frederick Lewis who lived for several years in a traditional mansion in Cairo, painted highly detailed works showing realistic genre scenes of Middle Eastern life.
Other notable painters in the Orientalist genre who included scenes of street life and market-based trade in their work are Jean-Léon Gérôme Delacroix (1824–1904), Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps (1803–1860), Frederic Leighton (1830–1896), Eugène Alexis Girardet 1853–1907 and William Holman Hunt (1827–1910), who all found inspiration in Oriental street scenes, trading and commerce.
In Albania, two distinct types of bazaar can be found; Bedesten (also known as bezistan, bezisten, bedesten) which refers to a covered bazaar and an open bazaar.
After sustaining irreparable damage during the country's civil war, Beirut's ancient souks have been completely modernised and rebuilt while maintaining the original ancient Greek street grid, major landmarks and street names.
Mountain Records describes Coetzee thus: His distinctive raunchy tenor sound and the untiring commitment to his cultural roots made him one of the best known jazzmen to come out of South Africa.
Together with Robbie Jansen they created the unique brass sound of the group The Pacific Express inspiring many younger cape jazz musicians in Cape Town.
Coetzee was signed to the Cape Town based Mountain Records label for a large part of his recording career and made his only solo albums for the label.
It was recorded in difficult times for the artist as he sought to establish his name away from previous successful associations.
In the period between leaving his former Pacific Express associates and playing only sporadically for Ibrahim, Coetzee and bass player Paul Abrahams worked together as a duo.
The band Sabenza was active on the local scene, and regularly featured bassist Paul Abrahams, guitarist James Kibby, and drummer Vic Higgins.
Basil Coetzee died during the night of 11 March 1998, after a long struggle with cancer, survived by five children and six grandchildren.
His funeral took place on Saturday 14 March 1998 in Mitchell's Plain, and he is buried in the Garden of Eden in Ottery.
Abdullah Ibrahim was one of those who paid tribute to Basil's memory at his funeral, announcing plans for the establishment of a Basil Manenberg Coetzee Music Academy in his memory.
Dublin started his career as a centre back with Norwich City, but made his name at Cambridge United as a centre-forward.
Dublin then went on to begin his professional footballing career with Norwich City after leaving school in 1985, but he never made a first-team appearance and was released from the club in 1988.
In August 1988, he joined Cambridge United on a free transfer, as a centre-half, which had been his position at Norwich City.
The 1989–90 season saw Cambridge promoted from the Fourth Division via the play-offs, when Dublin became the first ever scorer in a Wembley play-off final.
In the 1990–91 season, the club were champions of the Third Division, and the club also reached the quarter-final of the FA Cup in both seasons, with Dublin scoring at Arsenal in 1991.
In the 1991–92 season, he played a big part in helping Cambridge to their highest ever finishing position in the football league, by finishing in fifth place in the last ever season of the old Second Division, but when Cambridge failed to win promotion to the top flight via the play-offs Dublin was put up for sale.
Having seen Dublin in a cup tie, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson signed him for £1 million on 7 August 1992, fighting off competition from Chelsea and Everton.
Dublin was something of a surprise purchase for United, after Ferguson had tried to sign Alan Shearer from Southampton but lost out to Blackburn Rovers.
He scored in United's fourth Premier League game of the 1992–93 season, a last minute winner in United's first Premier league victory – 1–0 against Southampton at The Dell.
However, on 2 September, he suffered a broken leg against Crystal Palace in a 1–0 win at Old Trafford, after a tackle by Eric Young, and was out of action for six months.
By the time he had recovered, however, United had signed Eric Cantona and the Frenchman was firmly established as first choice strike partner to Mark Hughes.
United won the league that season for the first time since 1967, but Dublin failed to make the 10 Premier League appearances required to automatically gain a title winner's medal.
In the 1993–94 season, Dublin regained his fitness, but his first team chances were restricted by the successful partnership of Cantona and Hughes.
In December 1993, Ferguson agreed a deal with Everton manager Howard Kendall, that would have seen Dublin moving to Goodison Park, but a member of Everton's board of directors, apparently feeling that Dublin was not worth the money Kendall had offered United, intervened to prevent the transfer going through – this dispute sparked Kendall's resignation as manager.
Dublin would remain a United player for another nine months, but never managed to claim a regular place in the first team.
He managed five league appearances that season, scoring once in a 3–2 home win over Oldham Athletic in early April, his goal helping secure a vital victory in the title run-in during a spell when United started to drop points and Blackburn Rovers were closing in on them.
He also managed a further goal in the Football League Cup second round first leg, as United were beaten 2–1 by Stoke City at the Victoria Ground.
He was left out of the FA Cup winning team, and failed to make enough appearances to merit another Premier League title winners medal, and in September 1994, he was sold to Coventry City for £2 million - a record signing for Coventry City at the time - and also one of the largest fees received by Manchester United.
In four-and-a-half years with Coventry, Dublin established himself as one of the Premier League's top strikers and during the 1997–98 season won the first of his four England full caps.
That season, he equalled the Coventry City record for most goals in a top division season with 23 goals in all competitions.
Following Phil Neal's departure in 1995, the arrival of Ron Atkinson and Gordon Strachan would see Dublin fit into an attacking team in the typical Atkinson mould.
It included the likes of Noel Whelan, John Salako and Darren Huckerby to add to the already attack minded Peter Ndlovu.
The addition of Gary McAllister, following Euro 96, should have provided mid table stability but the teams defensive frailties often undermined Dublin's scoring at the other end.
This game followed on from an away win at Anfield (Dublin scoring in the dying seconds) and a home win against Chelsea.
But at Tottenham Hotspur that afternoon, Dublin scored in the first half before Paul Williams netted to secure an unlikely 2–1 win.
Dublin formed an impressive partnership with Darren Huckerby which not only produced some memorable goals but also propelled the Sky Blues to the FA Cup Sixth Round against Sheffield United; a game they narrowly lost in a penalty shoot out.
The 1997–98 season also saw Dublin share elite status as the Premier League's top scorer with Blackburn's Chris Sutton and Liverpool's Michael Owen – each Englishman scoring 18 league goals.
Dublin was controversially excluded from the England 1998 FIFA World Cup squad, despite being the Premier League's joint top-scorer in the 1997–98 season, alongside Michael Owen and Chris Sutton.
However, his exploits at club level were still attracting significant attention and in the autumn of 1998, he chose to move to Aston Villa for £5.75 million.
In his first four games for the club, he would score 7 goals including a memorable hat-trick against Southampton in only his second game for the Villans.
As a result, he is one of only six players to score in the first four consecutive games for a Premier League club.
In December 1999, whilst playing for Aston Villa against Sheffield Wednesday, he sustained a life-threatening broken neck, as a result of which he permanently has a titanium plate holding three neck vertebrae together.
In April 2000, a week after returning to the team, he helped Aston Villa reach their first FA Cup final in 43 years, which they lost 1–0 against Chelsea, scoring a penalty in the semi-final shoot-out against Bolton Wanderers.
Faced with competition for a first team place by Juan Pablo Ángel and Peter Crouch, Dublin spent several weeks on loan at First Division Millwall.
In his time there, he scored two goals, against Stockport County, and Grimsby Town in five league matches to help them into the play-offs where despite Dublin's goal in the first leg of the semi final, Millwall lost to Birmingham City 2–1 on aggregate.
Dublin was sent off at Villa Park for a headbutt on Robbie Savage in the Birmingham derby match, which ended 2–0 to Birmingham City.
He was snapped up quickly by then Celtic manager Gordon Strachan, to cover for the loss of Chris Sutton, on a contract until the end of the season.
On 19 March 2006, Dublin came on as a sub and scored the final goal as Celtic defeated Dunfermline 3–0 to win the Scottish League Cup final, and also played enough matches with Celtic to merit a title medal.
In the league, he made three league starts and eight substitute appearances for Celtic, scoring once against Kilmarnock on 9 April 2006 in a 4–1 win at Rugby Park.
He scored his first competitive goal in Norwich City colours in a 3–3 draw against Queens Park Rangers on 14 October 2006 at Loftus Road.
Steve Wilson cited Dublin as the main inspiration behind Norwich's 4–1 FA Cup 3rd Round win at Tamworth, in which the striker scored two goals and set up numerous chances for other teammates.
Dublin was an important figure in Norwich securing safety from relegation to League One and the supporters recognised his contribution by voting him in second place in the Norwich City player of the year award, and on 23 May 2007 he ended speculation about his future by signing a new one-year contract at Norwich, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2007–08 season.
On 2 September 2007, Dublin, whilst a pundit on the Aston Villa v Chelsea game, said that this season would be his last as a footballer, citing the fact that his 'bones have started to talk to him' as the reason, meaning that he did not think his body can handle another season.
In the spring of 2008, Dublin was approached by Jimmy Quinn, then manager of Cambridge United, about joining his old club for the 2008–09 season.
He was voted the club's Player of the Year and awarded the Barry Butler trophy on 26 April 2008 in his final season as a footballer, at his penultimate game, and on his final appearance at Carrow Road.
Dublin played his final game on 4 May 2008, featuring in Norwich's 4–1 loss to Sheffield Wednesday in front of 36,208 fans at Hillsborough – the highest Championship attendance that season.
When he was taken off in the 66th minute, Dublin received a standing ovation from both sets of supporters, players and referee Mark Clattenburg.
Dublin earned his first cap for England on 11 February 1998, playing the whole 90 minutes in the 2–0 friendly defeat to Chile at Wembley Stadium.
In the run-up to the 1998 FIFA World Cup, Dublin played in the King Hassan II International Cup Tournament in May, starting in the 1–0 win against Morocco, and coming off the bench in 0–0 draw with Belgium, a game England lost on penalties.
Despite showing good form and versatility throughout the season, including finishing joint top scorer in the Premier League with 18 goals, Glenn Hoddle included Les Ferdinand ahead of Dublin in his 22-man squad for the tournament in France.
The White Ensign, at one time called the St George's Ensign due to the simultaneous existence of a cross-less version of the flag, is an ensign flown on British Royal Navy ships and shore establishments.
The White Ensign is also flown by yachts of members of the Royal Yacht Squadron and by ships of Trinity House escorting the reigning monarch.
In addition to the United Kingdom, several other nations have variants of the White Ensign with their own national flags in the canton, with the St George's Cross sometimes being replaced by a naval badge omitting the cross altogether.
Yachts of the Royal Irish Yacht Club fly a white ensign with an Irish tricolour in the first quadrant and defaced by the crowned harp from the Heraldic Badge of Ireland.
The Flag of the British Antarctic Territory and the Commissioners' flag of the Northern Lighthouse Board place the Union emblem in the first quarter of a white field, omitting the overall red St George's Cross, but are not ensigns for use at sea.
English naval ensigns were first used during the 16th century, and were often striped in green and white (the Tudor colours), but other colours were also used to indicate different squadrons, including blue, red and tawny brown.
(These striped ensigns can be seen in use on both English and Spanish warships in contemporary paintings of the 1588 Spanish Armada battles).
Later, there was usually a St George's Cross in the upper canton, or sewn across the field as on the modern White Ensign.
The use of stripes continued in the red and white of both the flag of the Honourable East India Company, adopted in 1600, and of the 1775 Grand Union Flag that formed the basis for the modern flag of the United States of America, and the red, white and blue striped ensign that serves as the flag of Hawaii.
The first recognisable White Ensign appears to have been in use during the 16th century, consisting of a white field with a broad St George's cross, and a second St. George's cross in the canton.
By 1630 the white ensign consisted of simply a white field, with a small St George's cross in the canton, which was consistent with the red and blue ensigns of the time.
In 1707, the St. George's cross was reintroduced to the flag as a whole, though not as broad as before, and the Union Flag was placed in the canton.
There was also a version of this flag without the overall St George's cross, which appears to have been for use in home waters only, though this flag appears to have fallen out of use by 1720.
In 1801, after the Act of Union 1800, the flag was updated to include the new Union Flag in the canton, and so took on the form as used today.
The blue field of the Union Flag was darkened at this time at the request of the Admiralty, in the hope that the new flags would not require replacing as often as the previous design, due to fading of the blue.
In 1687, the then Secretary of the Admiralty, Samuel Pepys, instructed that flags be of the ratio 11:18 (18 inches long for each breadth, 11 inches at the time).
Throughout this period in the history of the Royal Navy, the White Ensign was one of three ensigns in use, with each one being assigned to one of the three squadrons of the navy, according to its colour (red, white and blue, with red being the most senior and blue the least).
Ships flew the colour of ensign corresponding to the squadron to which they were attached, which was in turn determined by the seniority of the admiral under whose command the ship sailed (a rear admiral of the red was senior to a rear admiral of the white).
In 1864 the Admiralty decided to end the ambiguity caused by the Red Ensign being both a civil ensign and a naval ensign, and the White Ensign was reserved to the Royal Navy; the relevant Order in Council retained the option to use Red or Blue Ensigns in HM Ships if desired.
The White Ensign may also be worn on a gaff, and may be shifted to the starboard yardarm when at sea.
When alongside, the White Ensign is worn at the stern, with the Union Jack flag flown as a jack at the bow, during daylight hours.
The White Ensign is worn at the mastheads when Royal Navy ships are dressed on special occasions such as the Queen's birthday, and may be similarly be worn by foreign warships when in British waters when dressed in honour of a British holiday or when firing a salute to British authorities.
Yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron and the Trinity House vessels when escorting the British Monarch (King or Queen of the United Kingdom) are also permitted to wear the White Ensign.
On land, the White Ensign is flown at all naval shore establishments (which are commissioned warships), including all Royal Marines establishments.
The Ensign is also displayed on the Cenotaph alongside the Union Jack flag (for the British Army) and the Royal Air Force Ensign, in memory of the dead in the World Wars.
Special permission was granted to any individual or body to fly the White Ensign to mark Trafalgar Day and the victory in the naval Battle of Trafalgar on its 201st anniversary in 2006.
The U.S. Navy destroyer is the only U.S. warship to fly the White Ensign along with the Stars and Stripes to honour her British namesake, the former prime minister.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel's , although a merchant ship, appears to have worn (and still bears and flies, preserved in dry dock as a historical exhibit / museum ship) the White Ensign, apparently because its first master (an ex-Royal Navy man) brought it with him.
The White Ensign was historically used, in its unaltered form, by the naval forces of Australia, Canada and New Zealand, with the Blue Ensign of each of these Dominions (as they were then known) as a jack.
In 1965, with the adoption of the Maple Leaf Canadian flag, Canada stopped using the White Ensign on its naval vessels in favour of the new flag.
This flag, however, was until 2013 not used as the ensign, but as the jack, and also as the basis of the queen's colours of the Royal Canadian Navy.
During Australia's involvement in Vietnam, the RAN modified the White Ensign (1967) to create a uniquely Australian ensign which would avoid any confusion with UK vessels; Britain was not involved in the conflict.
The modified RAN and RNZN White Ensigns incorporate the Union Flag in the first quarter, but with the Southern Cross designs from each national flag (blue stars for the RAN and red stars for the RNZN) replacing St. George's Cross.
For example, the Indian Navy and the South African Navy have both retained a cross on a white field, with their own national flag in the canton, in place of the Union Flag.
The Royal Indian Marine (Royal Indian Navy from 1934) used the unaltered White Ensign as its ensign from 1928 until 26 January 1950, when India became a republic within the Commonwealth.
After that date, the RIN became the Indian Navy and the Union Jack in the canton was replaced with the Indian Tricolour.
Apart from a brief period from 2001–2004, the Indian Navy has retained its variant of the White Ensign with one minor modification: the addition of the Lion Capital of Asoka crest in gold at the centre of the cross.
Aside from being flown by the Arleigh Burke class destroyer , the British Naval Ensign is authorised to be used at the memorial on the campus of The Citadel.
The White Ensign also flies over the British Cemetery on Ocracoke, North Carolina, which contains the remains of several seamen from , as well as a memorial to the lost naval trawler, which was sunk off the coast of Ocracoke Island in May 1942.
A White Ensign, without Saint Patrick's Saltire, defaced with a blue lighthouse in the fly, is the Commissioners' flag of the Northern Lighthouse Board.
The burgee of the Royal Naval Tot Club of Antigua and Barbuda is sometimes misidentified as a White Ensign; the burgee is a white swallowtail pennant (similar to a Royal Navy Commodore's) with the Union Flag is use until 1801 in the upper hoist canton.
The Bahamas uses a variant of its white ensign, with a blue cross instead of the red Cross of St George found on the military ensign, as a government and 'non combatant' ensign, serving a similar purpose to the UK's Blue Ensign.
The early part of the 20th century saw the increasing urbanisation of black South Africans in mining centres such as the gold mining area around Johannesburg - the Witwatersrand.
This led to the development of township slums or ghettos, and out of this hardship came forth new forms of music, marabi and kwela amongst others.
Marabi was the name given to a keyboard style (often using cheap pedal organs) that had a musical link to American jazz, ragtime and blues, with roots deep in the African tradition.
Nonetheless, as with early jazz, the lilting melodies and catchy rhythms of marabi found their way into the sounds of popular dance bands with a distinctively South African style.
Marabi is characterised by a few simple chords repeated in varying vamping patterns that could go on for a long time; repetitive harmonic patterns being typical of traditional African musics.
Associated with illegality, police raids, sex and a desperately impoverished working class, marabi was thought of as a corrupting menace and for this reason, it is no surprise that no early marabi musicians were recorded.
A reflection of this music can be heard in the music of such Cape Jazz performers as Basil Coetzee or Abdullah Ibrahim.
The beginnings of broadcast radio intended for black listeners and the growth of an indigenous recording industry helped propel such sounds to immense popularity from the 1930s onward.
This has which has influenced South African music since then, from the jazz performers of the post-war years to the more populist township forms of the 1980s and onwards.
With the infusion of more traditional influences, marabi has lost much of its links to the styles jazz roots and is now part of the African music culture as opposed to South African Jazz.
Most South African jazz musicians could not read scores, so they developed their own jazz flavor, mixing American swing with African melodies.
In February 2009, CTV announced it would not renew CKNX's broadcast licence for the 2009-2010 television season and put the station up for sale.
In April 2009, CTV announced a deal to sell the station along with two other sister stations in Windsor and Brandon to Shaw Communications for a dollar.
It signed on as a CBC Television affiliate on November 18, 1955 and was located in a former high school along with its sister AM radio station CKNX.
After going to air, one of their early identification cards displayed the station's mascot, which was a smiling television camera wearing a large cowboy hat.
Although nothing could be salvaged, CKNX-TV was on the air again later that night with the help of nearby stations CFPL-DT, CKVR-DT, CKCO-DT, and CBLT-DT.
CKNX operations continued as such (with various temporary offices set up in Wingham) until they purchased new equipment and moved into a new building in 1963.
Staffers were required to be more versatile than ever to better compete, giving them well-rounded knowledge for moving up in the industry.
CKNX disaffiliated from the CBC in 1988 and remained an independent station for another ten years until CHUM Limited purchased the station from Baton Broadcasting.
News programming aired on CKNX is simulcast from CFPL in London, however CKNX viewers still receive a separate 11 p.m. news feed (Monday - Friday) which originates from the CFPL studios.
On July 12, 2006, CTV owner CTVglobemedia announced plans to purchase A-Channel owner CHUM Ltd. for $C1.7 billion, with plans to divest itself of the A-Channel and Access Alberta stations.
On April 9, 2007, it was announced that Rogers Communications filed with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to purchase all of the A-Channel stations, including CKNX, CKX-TV, Access Alberta and several cable channels being put up for sale in the wake of CTVglobemedia's pending acquisition of the CHUM group.
On June 8, 2007, the CRTC announced its approval of CTVglobemedia's purchase of CHUM Limited, but added a condition that CTVglobemedia must sell off CHUM's Citytv stations to another buyer while keeping the A-Channel stations (including CKNX), in effect cancelling the planned sale of A-Channel to Rogers Media.
On July 26, 2007, CTVglobemedia named Richard Gray the head of news for the A-Channel stations and CKX-TV will report to the CTVgm corporate group, not CTV News, to preserve independent news presentation and management.
On February 25, 2009, CTV announced that, given the ongoing structural problems facing the conventional television sector in Canada and the current global economic crisis, it would not be applying to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for renewal of the licences of CKNX-TV and its sister station CHWI-TV in Wheatley/Windsor.
CTV said that with the CRTC's decision to disallow fee-for-carriage, CKNX-TV and CHWI-TV—the two smallest stations in the A system—were no longer viable.
On April 30, 2009, Shaw Communications announced it would purchase CKNX, CHWI and CKX-TV in Brandon, Manitoba for a dollar each from CTVgm, pending CRTC approval.
However, it was reported on June 30, 2009 that Shaw has backed out of the deal and is declining to complete the purchase, putting the stations' futures in serious doubt.
The same day, CTV announced it would retain its sister station, CHWI in Windsor until at least 2010, based on temporary increases to the Local Programming Improvement Fund.
In addition, the CRTC renewed the licences for CKNX, CHWI and CKX, even though CTV had not filed renewals for these stations.
As a result, on August 31, CKNX signed off for the last time as a separate station, becoming a full-time repeater of CFPL.
On June 27, 2016, it was announced that Bell Media filed a proposal with the CRTC to shut down 40 of its television transmitters (all rebroadcasters of other stations), due to maintenance costs, high cable and satellite viewership, and no generation of revenue.
These analog transmitters generate no incremental revenue, attract little to no viewership given the growth of BDU or DTH subscriptions and are costly to maintain, repair or replace.
The Commission has determined that broadcasters may elect to shut down transmitters but will lose certain regulatory privileges (distribution on the basic service, the ability to request simultaneous substitution) as noted in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy CRTC 2015-24, Over-the-air transmission of television signals and local programming.
Lieutenant-Colonel Anthony William Durnford (24 June 1830 – 22 January 1879) was an Irish career British Army officer of the Royal Engineers who served in the Anglo-Zulu War.
Breveted colonel, Durnford is mainly known for his defeat by the Zulus at the Battle of Isandlwana, which was a disaster for the British Army.
In July 1846 Durnford returned to England to enter the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Royal Engineers in 1848 initially serving at Chatham and Scotland.
He was transferred in 1856 to Malta as an intermediate posting, but did not see active service either in the Crimea or in the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857.
He served in Malta as an adjutant until February 1858, when he was promoted to Second Captain and posted back to Chatham and Aldershot in England.
In 1864, promoted to captain, he was transferred to China, but was invalided back to England while in transit due to heat apoplexy.
In a letter to his mother he wrote of the blacks: ″...they are at least honest, chivalrous and hospitable, true to their salt, although only barbarians.
They are fine men, very naked and all that sort of thing, but thoroughly good fellows.″ He appears to have adhered to his idealistic picture throughout the remaining years of his life.
He was later stationed at Pietermaritzburg, where he was befriended by Bishop Colenso and he joined Theophilus Shepstone on an expedition to crown King Cetshwayo.
Durnford saw some action during the pursuit of Langalibalele at Bushman's River Pass, where he showed great courage but received two assegai stabs, one in his side, the other in his elbow; severing a nerve thus paralysing his left under-arm and hand for the rest of his life.
In 1878 Durnford, as the senior Royal Engineer officer in the colony, served on Sir Henry Bulwer's Boundary Commission to investigate the disputed border between the Transvaal and the Zulu Kingdom.
Later that year he was tasked to plan the formation of an African auxiliary force which soon became the Natal Native Contingent (NNC).
2 Column of Chelmsford's invasion army, Durnford commanded a mixed force of African troops including the Natal Native Horse and a detachment of the 1st Regiment Natal Native Contingent.
2 Column under Durnford arrived at Rorke's drift and camped on the Zulu bank where it remained through the next day.
5 Field Company, Royal Engineers, commanded by Lieutenant John Chard, which had arrived on the 19th to repair the pontoons which bridged the Buffalo.
Around 10:30am on the morning of 22 January, Durnford arrived from Rorke's Drift with five troops of the Natal Native horse and a rocket battery.
A Royal Engineer, Durnford was superior in rank to Brevet Lt-Col Henry Pulleine, who had been left in control of the camp.
Durnford did not over-rule Pulleine's dispositions, however, and after lunch he quickly decided to take the initiative and move forward to engage a Zulu force which Pulleine and Durnford judged to be moving against Chelmsford's rear.
Durnford asked for a company of the 24th, but Pulleine was reluctant to agree since his orders had been specifically to defend the camp.
Durnford was killed during the resulting battle, and was later criticised for taking men out of the camp thus weakening its defence.
It must be added, moreover, that the actions of Durnford and his command effectively halted the left horn of the Zulu army until their cartridge boxes began to run dry.
In one last valiant effort, Durnford, after ordering his native troopers to escape, perished with a mixed group of colonial volunteers and infantrymen of the 24th Foot after they had held apart the horns of the Zulu army long enough to enable many survivors to escape.
Among the causes of the disaster were the ill-defined relationship between Durnford and Pulleine, brought about by failures of Lord Chelmsford's command and control, a lack of good intelligence on the size and location of Zulu forces which resulted in Chelmsford splitting his force and, most decidedly, Chelmsford's decision not to fortify the camp (which was in direct violation of his own standing pre-campaign orders).
Irradiance is often called intensity, but this term is avoided in radiometry where such usage leads to confusion with radiant intensity.
Spectral irradiance is the irradiance of a surface per unit frequency or wavelength, depending on whether the spectrum is taken as a function of frequency or of wavelength.
The two forms have different dimensions: spectral irradiance of a frequency spectrum is measured in watts per square metre per hertz (W·m·Hz), while spectral irradiance of a wavelength spectrum is measured in watts per square metre per metre (W·m), or more commonly watts per square metre per nanometre ().
Chickenhawk (chicken hawk or chicken-hawk) is a political term used in the United States to describe a person who strongly supports war or other military action (i.e., a war hawk), yet who actively avoids or avoided military service when of age.
The term indicates that the person in question is hypocritical for personally dodging a draft or otherwise shirking their duty to their country during a time of armed conflict while advocating that others do so.
Generally, the implication is that chickenhawks lack the moral character to participate in war themselves, preferring to ask others to support, fight and perhaps die in an armed conflict.
Previously, the term war wimp was sometimes used, coined during the Vietnam War by Congressman Andrew Jacobs, a Marine veteran of the Korean War.
The film was A. R. Rahman's debut Hindi film with an original score and soundtrack, as his previous Hindi releases were dubbed versions of his Tamil, Malayalam and Telugu films.
The film was a major box office success and received critical acclaim, and was screened at the mainstream section of the International Film Festival of India.
A street-toughened orphan by the name of Munna (Aamir Khan) is befriended by some kind folks, whose effervescent daughter Mili (Urmila Matondkar) soon grows to be his best buddy.
Munna tries many times to tell Mili that he loves her, but he is unable to, or Raj gets in the way.
She asks Raj to help her find Munna, which he does after realizing that Mili seems to love Munna and not him.
The soundtrack fetched Rahman two filmfare awards, Filmfare Best Music Director Award and Filmfare RD Burman Award for New Music Talent.
Despite the film's huge success, It was still regarded as a film ahead of its time as the films made during the early 1990s had dated plots and storylines.
Shekhar Kapur called it 'The film of the 21st Century with great music and visuals' at the screening of the film.
The presentation of Urmila Matondkar in the film became the talk of the town as it re-invented the image of the Bollywood Heroine.
Aamir Khan played an unusual character of a Mumbaiya Tapori in the early stages of his career and that proved to be the milestone for him.
The toys began as elephants, and were originally a design Steiff found in a magazine and sold as pincushions to her customers.
However, children began playing with them, and in the years following she went on to design many other animal-themed toys for children, such as dogs, cats and pigs.
Steiff's nephew Richard joined in 1897 and gave the company an enormous boost by creating stuffed animals from drawings made at the zoo.
They are required to be highly flame resistant and, among other things, smaller pieces such as eyes must be able to resist considerable tension, wear and tear, etc.
The University of Hull is a public research university in Kingston upon Hull, a city in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
The main university campus is located in Hull and is home to the Hull York Medical School, a joint initiative with the University of York.
The foundation stone of University College Hull, then an external college of the University of London, was laid in 1927 by Prince Albert, the Duke of York (who later became king as George VI).
The college was built on land donated by Hull City Council and by two local benefactors, Thomas Ferens and G F Grant.
The college at that time consisted of one building, now named the Venn building (after the mathematician John Venn, who was born in Hull).
Other early buildings include the Cohen Building, which originally housed the college library, and Staff House, now named Canham Turner building, built in 1948 as the Students' Union.
With the rapid expansion of student numbers which took place in the 1950s many many academic departments were housed in temporary buildings, colloquially known as 'huts', which gave the campus the feel of an 'academic army camp'.
The first principal of the college was Arthur E. Morgan (1926–1935), the second was John H Nicholson (1935–1954), who also served as the university's first vice-chancellor when the college was granted university status (1954–1956).
The symbols are the torch for learning, the rose for Yorkshire, the ducal coronet from the arms of the City of Hull, the fleur-de-lys for Lincolnshire and the dove, symbolising peace, from the arms of Thomas Ferens.
This empowered it to award degrees of its own, making it the 3rd university in Yorkshire and the 14th in England.
The twenty six years between the formation of the university college and the awarding of the charter were the shortest such period in the history of university formation in England up to that time.
Within a year of the charter being granted applications to study at the new university had doubled, and in 1956 student numbers topped 1,000 for the first time.
Made of gilt silver, and incorporating devices from the Hull University coat of arms, the mace was presented to the university in December 1956 by the Lord Mayor of Hull.
The period of rapid expansion of Hull University coincided with the vice-chancellorship of Sir Brynmor Jones (1956–1972), during whose time in office student numbers quadrupled.
The Brynmor Jones Library, which houses more than a million volumes, was constructed in two phases: the first phase was fully completed in 1959, with a tower block extension officially opened in 1970.
During the 1950s and 1960s a considerable number of academic buildings were built, including the Larkin and Wilberforce Buildings (originally given other names).
The 'Martin Plan' of 1967, Sir Leslie Martin was the university architect, envisaged a campus with its tallest buildings in the centre surrounded by buildings diminishing in height towards the perimeter.
This early phase of expansion through building ended in 1974, after this year there was to be no further academic building construction on the campus until 1996.
In 1972 George Gray and Ken Harrison created room-temperature stable liquid crystals in the university chemistry laboratories, which were an immediate success in the electronics industry and consumer products.
This led to Hull becoming the first university to be awarded the Queen's Award for Technological Achievement for the joint-development of the long-lasting materials that made liquid crystal displays possible.
In 2000 the university bought the site of University College Scarborough on Filey Road, Scarborough, plus two linked buildings on the same road.
A further significant expansion took place in 2003, when the buildings of the former Humberside University campus, which were situated immediately adjacent to Hull University's main campus, were purchased.
The site now houses the Hull York Medical School and the relocated business school, which is located in three of the most prominent buildings – Wharfe, Derwent and Esk.
In 2012, the University began the ambitious refurbishment of the Brynmor Jones Library, a £28 million project which will transform the 7 storey former workplace of Philip Larkin, into a learning hub suitable for students for years to come.
The Hull History Centre, which opened in 2010, is located in a new building on Worship Street in Hull city centre.
It unites the holdings of Hull City Library's Local Studies collections and Hull University's archives and is run in partnership between the City Library and University Library.
As well as being involved in the planning and preparation of the bid, the University and its staff and students have been involved in many of the events of the year.
For example, during the initial three-month season, Hull Maritime Museum displayed a multimedia installation depicting a Bowhead whale The installation was designed by students from Hull School of Art and Design with music by students from Hull University.
Hull University is a campus university; though situated in a city, its main campus is in a suburban rather than urban district.
The main campus occupies a single, clearly defined site and is self-contained in regard to catering and entertainment for students and staff.
Most of the major features of the campus are described in the 'history' section above; in addition, the campus has a large Students' Union building, which is often described as one of the finest in the country, and extensive playing fields and other sports facilities.
University of Hull: Scarborough Campus was a satellite campus of the university located in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, attended by approximately 2,000 students.
Formerly a higher education institution offering BSc and BA degrees, the building was acquired by the University of Hull in 2000, offering Education courses, particularly at a primary level, as well as courses in Marine Biology, Digital Media, Music Technology Theatre Studies, Tourism Management, and a number of Business and English courses.
Until recently, there were two faculties, the 'Faculty of Applied Science & Technology' and the 'Faculty of Science & the Environment', before becoming the 'Faculty of Science' and later being renamed to the 'Faculty of Science and Engineering'.
Notable centres for research include the Hull Immersive Visualisation Environment (HIVE), the Institute for Estuarine and Coastal Studies (IECS), the E.A.
A new biomedical research facility will bring academics from biology and chemistry together and will include Positron Emission Tomography with CT scanning (PET-CT) and two mini cyclotrons.
Two new research groups will be based at the facility, called the Allam building: one focusing on cardiovascular and metabolic research and the other on cancer.
Established in 1994, one of the PGMI's sections is the Yorkshire Cancer Research-funded Centre for Magnetic Resonance Investigations which is actively engaged in researching the application of magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques to cancer research.
The Wilberforce Institute, patron Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, for the study of Slavery and Emancipation (WISE) is located in Oriel Chambers on the High Street in Hull's Old Town, adjacent to Wilberforce House.
The University's Maritime Historical Studies Centre provides a BA in History and Maritime History, an online Diploma in Maritime History and PhD research in Maritime History.
Approximately 50 sports clubs are affiliated to the Students Union's Athletic Union, many of which compete in BUCS national university leagues.
The Courtyard opened in 2016 and is situated next to the Student Union, it houses 562 students in en-suite rooms as well as some rooftop apartments.
The University also has halls located in the nearby village of Cottingham at The Lawns: seven halls which could hold around 1,000 students.
In March 2019 it was announced that The Lawns would not be taking in students for the 2019/2020 academic year citing a lack of demand.
In the recent past there were additional halls of residence in Cottingham at Needler Hall which closed in 2016, Thwaite Hall which closed in 2017 and Cleminson Hall (located adjacent to Thwaite Hall) which closed in 2004.
Student housing is based primarily in the terraced streets around the university campus itself, as well as around the Newland Avenue and Beverley Road areas of the city.
The University's Brynmor Jones Library was the workplace of the poet Philip Larkin who served as its Head Librarian for over thirty years.
The Philip Larkin Society organises activities in remembrance of Larkin including the Larkin 25 festival which was organised during 2010 in partnership with the University.
They include former MP and later Deputy Prime Minister Lord Prescott (John Prescott), former MP and Deputy Leader of the Labour Party Lord Hattersley (Roy Hattersley) and current deputy leader Tom Watson, politician and author Chris Mullin, social scientist Lord Giddens (Anthony Giddens), poet Roger McGough, journalist John McCarthy and film director, playwright and screenwriter the late Anthony Minghella.
SMART was the acronym of a discretionary business grant scheme – the Small firms' Merit Award for Research and Technology – run by the UK Department of Trade and Industry for a number of years in the 1980s and 1990s.
The award was made to companies winning an annual competition (organised regionally) based on a judgement of the technical and market viability of research or technology development proposals; in essence the award represented seed-corn funding for innovative developments that had some market potential.
In 2005 the scheme was shut down and replaced with the Grant for Research and Development which was again a regional competition.
SMART is a mnemonic/acronym, giving criteria to guide in the setting of objectives, for example in project management, employee-performance management and personal development.
However, the term's inventor had a slightly different version and the letters have meant different things to different authors, as described below.
The principal advantage of SMART objectives is that they are easier to understand and to know when they have been done.
Archery at the 2000 Summer Olympics was held at Sydney International Archery Park in Sydney, Australia with ranking rounds on 16 September and regular competition held from 17 to 20 September.
One hundred twenty-eight archers from forty-six nations competed in the four gold medal events—individual and team events for men and for women—that were contested at these games.
The 1999 World Target Competition's top 8 teams (besides the host nation) each received three spots, and the 19 highest ranked archers after the team qualifiers were removed also received spots.
Each NOC that received three places for individual archers (i.e., the host nation, the top 8 teams at the World Target Competition, and any other nation that was able to take 3 of the remaining 37 places) was able to have its three archers compete as a team in the team competition.
64 archers in each gender took part in the Olympics, with each National Olympic Committee being able to enter a maximum of three archers.
There were three rounds of elimination that used six ends of three arrows, narrowing the field of archers to 32, then to 16, then to 8.
It was first released on 26 June 1995 in the United Kingdom by Junior Boy's Own, Freestyle Dust, and Virgin Records, and on 15 August 1995 in the United States by Astralwerks.
The album received critical acclaim and was in the UK charts for many weeks, charting in each year from its release in 1995 until 2000; its highest peak was number 9 in 1995.
He decided to play it live in his DJ sets, and signed the duo to his Junior Boy's Own record label
